Chamber of Commerce and the Young Entrepreneurs
Academy. Her national charitable campaign (www.kay-
lacares4kids.org) has donated more than 9,500 items to
children’s hospitals, medical centers and extended stay
houses across the country, and even a traveling pediatricspecialist in Wyoming.
“I’ve been dreaming about delivering to our 50th
state for a while, and now, after two and a half years, I
realize what a remarkable milestone we have accom-
plished,” said Kayla, an eighth grader. “This is one of many goals we have in store for Kayla Cares 4 Kids, as
we aim to reach every children’s hospital, RonaldMcDonald House and other facilities helping sick chil-
dren nationwide.”
Kayla has been honored with awards and scholar-ships from local politicians and charitable foundations
for her philanthropy, and has been featured in television,
radio, newspaper and magazine stories in several states.

Treating pain associated with cancer
Pain is not always a side effect of cancer, but many people do experi-ence pain while battling this poten-
tially deadly disease. People who have
been diagnosed with cancer should knowthat they don’t have to accept pain as a nor-mal part of their disease, and there are plen-ty of options at their disposal to alleviatetheir pain.
According to the American CancerSociety, all pain can be treated, and most of it can be controlled or relieved. How physi-cians treat pain will depend on the type of pain and its cause, but the following aresome options doctors may discuss with their
patients who are experiencing pain.Medication: The type of medication doc-
tors prescribe will depend on a host of fac-tors, including the level of pain their patientsare dealing with. Non-opioids like acetamin-ophen, aspiring or ibuprofen may be used totreat mild to moderate pain, though patientswho are having surgery or receivingchemotherapy may need to steer clear of non-steroidal, anti-inflammatory drugs(NSAIDs) like aspirin and ibuprofen
because they can slow blood clotting.Opioids, which include oxycodone and mor-phine, may be prescribed for moderate tosevere pain. Pain caused by swelling orpressure may be treated by prescriptionsteroids, such as prednisone and dexametha-sone.
Surgery: The ACS notes that surgery maybe an option to reduce pain associated withcancer. Nerve pathways carry pain impulsesto the brain, but when these impulses are
interrupted, they never make it to the brainand the feelings of pain and pressure cannotbe felt. To block these pathways, neurosur-geons may cut nerves, but such surgery isirreversible, so cancer patients should expecttheir physicians and surgeons to exploreother avenues before recommending sur-gery.
Epidural: An epidural is a method of painrelief in which medicine is injected into thespace around the layers of the spine. Doctors
may implant a pump so they can get painmedicines right around the nerves, and thetreated area may experience numbness orweakness as a result.
Nerve block: Another way to treat painassociated with cancer is via a nerve block,a procedure in which a local anesthetic isinjected into or around a nerve. If doctors donot choose that option, the anesthetic, whichis often combined with a steroid, may beinjected into the space around the spinal
cord to block pain. While the injectionmakes it impossible for the nerve to relaypain to the brain, the nerve block may causemuscle paralysis or a loss of all feeling inthe affected area.
Managing pain associated with cancercan be difficult, but patients dealing withsuch pain can discuss the many pain treat-ment options at their disposal with theirphysicians.

How tofi
nd the right oncologist for you
The day a person is diagnosed withcancer is a life-altering moment.Many people rely on support net-
works made up of family and friends to
help them during their cancer treatments,and such support networks can extend topatients’ choice of oncologists as well.
Oncology is a branch of medicineinvolved in the diagnosis and treatment of tumors. The term “oncology” is derivedfrom the Greek word “onco,” meaning bulkor mass. Upon diagnosing patients with can-cer, oncologists explain the type of cancerpatients have and explain the various treat-ment options available to patients.Oncologists also are on call to answer anyquestions and are often the first peoplepatients turn to when they have questionsabout their disease.
Taking an active role in their cancer treat-ment can help patients feel more in controlof their situations, and patients’ choice of oncologist is one of the first big decisionsthey must make.
Start with a referral. Begin by speakingwith your primary care physician. He or she
may have a list of recommended oncologistsor ones affiliated with nearby hospitals.
If a loved one has battled cancerin the past, ask him or her fora recommendation.Do your research. The goal is to find an
oncologist who specializes in your form of cancer and has a good treatment successrate. Do not be afraid to ask about successstatistics and ask for prior patients’ names soyou can get their opinions on the care theyreceived. Look up the doctor’s credentials aswell. For example, HealthGrades.com pro-vides information on malpractice and disci-plinary history.
Consider a group practice. As with othermedical providers, some oncologists worktogether in full partnerships with otheroncologists. Choosing this type of providermay enable you to gain the benefit of thedoctors’ collaborative experience.
Judge communication style and compas-
sion levels. Does the doctor answer yourquestions in a manner that fits with yourpersonality? Do you feel supported by thedoctor and that he or she exudes empathy?Oncologists need to walk the fine linebetween qualified medical provider andfriend.
Look into insurance coverage. While youmay want to go with one particular doctor,you must investigate if your insurance cov-ers that particular oncologist. Otherwise,out-of-pocket expenses may be considerablyhigh.
Look into the hospital. Consider the qual-ity of care at the hospital where the oncolo-gist will treat you as a patient. Hospital qual-ity can matter based on the type of caregiven, proximity to the patient’s home andreputation.
A qualified, compassionate oncologistcan make it easier to navigate a cancerdiagnosis.

Quitting smoking and losing weightconsistently top New Year’s resolu-tions lists. In an effort to stop smok-
ing, a growing number of smokers are turn-ing to electronic cigarettes, or e-cigarettes,to help them quit once and for all. Althoughe-cigarettes are not currently regulated, theU.S. Food and Drug Administration isweighing regulations in a market that esti-mates suggest could be as big $5 billion in2015. But are these devices safe? Or eveneffective?
There is mixed information regarding
the efficacy of e-cigarettesto help a person quit smok-ing. Some studies point to e-cigarettes as a good methodof smoking cessation, whileothers say there’s limitedevidence to support thoseclaims.
E-cigarettes typicallycontain liquid nicotine,which is inhaled as vapor.
The vapor resembles smoke and can mimicthe look and feel of smoking traditionalcigarettes. But e-cigarettes typically do notcontain any of the additional chemicals,such as tar and other potentially toxicingredients, found in traditional cigarettes.Nicotine cartridges for e-cigarettes alsocome in various concentrations and flavors,and smokers can even purchase nicotine-free replacement cartridges. Much likeusers of nicotine patches or chewers of nicotine gum, e-cigarette smokers can grad-ually lower their nicotine doses over time.
The American Lung Association cur-rently has not approved any e-cigarette as asafe or effective method to help smokersquit. They cite a study that estimates thereare nearly 500 different e-cigarette brandstoday with varying levels of nicotine andthe possible presence of other chemicals.These e-cigarettes are unregulated. TheALA says there is a great deal more tolearn about these products before they canbe recommended as a safe and effectiveway for smokers to wean themselves off of smoking.
E-cigarettes may contain additionalchemicals besides nicotine. Studies havefound detectable levels of chemicals usedin antifreeze in two leading brands of e-cig-arettes. Formaldehyde and benzene havebeen detected in some e-cigarette emis-sions. Other studies have found secondhandemissions from e-cigarettes can proveharmful to nonsmokers.
Although some e-cigarettes may containharmful byproducts, toxicity tests indicate
they are safer than regular cigarettes. Somehealth experts believe the benefits of quit-ting traditional cigarettes outweigh the risksposed by e-cigarettes.
The American Heart Association agrees.In a policy statement released in August2014, the American Heart Association saidphysicians shouldn’t discourage e-cigaretteuse as a last resort to stop smoking.
“If people cannot quit at all and havetried everything in the field, we would notdiscourage them,” said Aruni Bhatnager, thestatement’s lead writer. “It’s not somethingwe would suggest.”
The AHA recommends e-cigarettes onlyif smokers refuse or are intolerant of otheroptions.
People who desire to quit smoking maylook to e-cigarettes to help their fight.Although the safety and efficacy of e-ciga-rettes remains open to debate, cannot beproven, many former smokers feel e-ciga-rettes played a significant role in helpingthem to quit smoking once and for all.

Recognizing cancersof the eye and eyelid
Cancer involves the uncontrolled division
of abnormal cells in a particular part of
the body. Cancer begins in one area, but
it can invade or spread to other parts of the body
if it goes undetected or untreated.
Certain cancers are more familiar to the general
public than others, thanks in part to awareness
campaigns and charity fundraisers. But no area
of the body, including the eyes and eyelids, isimmune to cancer.
According to the American Cancer Society, the
most common type of eye cancer that affects
adults is ocular melanoma, while children are
more likely to experience retinoblastoma.
Cancer can affect the three main parts of the
eye, which include the eyeball, orbit and adnex-
al structures. The eyeball includes the sclera,
uvea and retina. The orbit is the tissue surround-
ing the eyeball and the muscles that move the
eye in different directions. Adnexal structures
include the eyelids and the tear glands. Cancer
that begins in the eyeball is known as intraocu-
lar cancer. Many cases of adnexal cancer, or
cancer that affects the eyelid, may actually be
skin cancer. In fact, MD Anderson Cancer center
says more than 90 percent of eyelid cancers are
basal cell carcinomas of the skin.
Eye cancer may or may not produce symptoms,and any symptoms it does produce may be dif-
ferent based on the type of cancer present.
Symptoms in adults may include:
• a red or painful eye
• blurred vision in one eye
• change in iris color or dark spots
on the iris
• bulging of the eye
• “floaters” in the field of vision
• loss of peripheral vision
Early signs of eye cancer are most often discov-
ered by an eye doctor during routine eye exami-
nations. A person who has any unusual changes
in vision will want to visit an ophthalmologist
promptly. Many cancers can be easily diagnosed
by a trained physician, and early detection can
improve prognosis. The ACS estimates that, in
2015, there will be 2,580 new cancers (mainly
melanomas) of the eye and orbit — 1,360 in
men and 1,220 in women.
Treatments for eye cancers are similar to the
options for cancers that begin elsewhere.
Surgery, radiation therapy, laser therapy,
chemotherapy, and other targeted therapies may
be used alone or in conjunction with another
depending on the type of eye cancer present.
Every step will be taken to improve health and
reduce the effects of treatment on vision.
Eye cancers are often first diag-
nosed during otherwise routine eye
examinations.

Cancer screenings men should consider
Cancer screenings play an impor-
tant role in cancer prevention.
Screenings may not prevent peo-
ple from getting cancer, but they can
detect the presence of cancer before a
person begins to experience any signs or
symptoms. Screenings also can help doc-
tors catch cancer before it metastasizes,
or spreads, to areas of the body outside the
area where it originated.
Many women get routine mammograms to
detect for breast cancer, but women are not
the only ones who should include cancer
screenings in their healthcare routines. Men
also can benefit from screenings, discussing
the pros and cons of each with their physi-
cians during routine health examinations.
Colon cancer: Men should begin getting
screened for colon cancer at age 50, though
those with family histories of colon cancer orother colon issues should begin even earlier,
as family history increases a man’s risk of
developing colon cancer. Colon cancer screen-
ings may discover a type of growth known as
a polyp, which is typically benign and can be
removed before it develops into cancer. The
American Cancer Society notes that men have
various options to choose from with regard to
screening for colon cancer. Such options
include a colonoscopy, a stool DNA test and a
camera pill. Speak to your physician about
these options and discuss your family history,
which will influence how frequently you need
to be screened for colon cancer.
Lung cancer: Screening for lung cancer is
most important for men who currently or
recently smoked. The United States Preventive
Services Task Force recommends annual
screening for lung cancer with low-dose com-
puted tomography (LDCT) for men between
the ages of 55 and 80 who have a 30 pack-
year smoking history and currently smoke orhave quit within the past 15 years. Screening
should be discontinued once a man has not
smoked for 15 years or has developed a health
problem that substantially limits a man’s life
expectancy or his ability or willingness to
undergo curative lung surgery. (Note: Pack-
year history is calculated by multiplying the
number of packs of cigarettes smoked per day
by the number of years the person has
smoked.) The ACS notes that the risks associ-
ated with lung cancer screenings typically out-
weigh the benefits for
men who have never smoked or
quit long ago.
Prostate cancer: The National Cancer
Institute notes that prostate cancer is the most
common nonskin cancer among men in the
United States. Being 50 years of age, black
and/or having a brother, son or father who had
prostate cancer increase a man’s risk of devel-
oping the disease. The NCI notes that screen-
ing tests for prostate cancer, which include adigital rectal exam and a prostate-specific
antigen test, come with risks, and men should
discuss these risks and the potential benefits
of prostate cancer screenings before deciding
to be screened.
Cancer screenings can detect cancer in its ear-
liest stages, and as men get older, they should
discuss their screening options with their
physicians.

Foods that help fight cancer
While no single food or ingredient can
prevent people from getting cancer,
research has shown a link between
excess body fat and various cancers. A poor diet
that’s high in fat can contribute to excess body
fat, which the American Institute for Cancer
Research has linked to higher risks for develop-
ing cancers of the esophagus, pancreas, colon
and rectum, and gallbladder, among others.
The AICR notes that research on foods that fight
cancer is ongoing, but the following are some of
the foods that can play a role in cancer preven-
tion.
Apples
Apples are a good source of fiber, which can
help men and women lower their cancer risk.Dietary fiber can increase feelings of fullness,
which reduces the likelihood that people will
overeat. Men and women who do not overeat
are less likely to accumulate the excess body fat
that increases their risk for various cancers. In
addition, apples’ dietary fiber contains pectin, a
polysaccharide that bacteria in the stomach can
use to produce compounds that protect colon
cells.
Broccoli
Broccoli is a cruciferous vegetable, and nearly
all cruciferous vegetables, which get their name
because their four-petal flowers resemble a
cross, or crucifer, are great sources of vitamin C.
Broccoli also is a great source of the B vitamin
folate as well as potassium. The AICR notes that
studies have shown folate helps to maintain
healthy DNA and keep cancer-promoting genes
inactive. But men and women should speak with
their physicians regarding how much folate to
include in their diets, as animal studies have
suggested that high amounts of folate may pro-mote development of certain types of cancer,
including colon cancer.
Cranberries
Like apples, cranberries are high in dietary fiber
and vitamin C. Diets high in foods containing
vitamin C have been linked to a reduced risk for
cancer of the esophagus. In addition, studies
have shown that vitamin C protects cells’ DNA
by trapping free radicals, which can damage the
body, and inhibiting the formation of substances
called carcinogens, which are capable of causing
cancer in living tissue.
Legumes
Legumes include kidney and black beans, yel-
low split peas and red lentils. Dry beans and
peas are great sources of fiber and good sources
of protein, and each also make excellent sources
of folate. In addition to their ability to contribute
to the protection of colon cells, legumes also
contain various phytochemicals, which
researchers feel may decrease chronic inflam-mation, a risk factor for many cancers. In addi-
tion, these phytochemicals may increase the
self-destruction of cancer cells.
While there are no magic foods that can guaran-
tee men and women won’t one day develop can-
cer, there are many foods that research has
shown are capable of reducing a person’s risk of
developing this potentially deadly disease. More
information on cancer-fighting foods is available
at www.aicr.org.
Broccoli and other cruciferous vegetables have
been linked to a lower risk for certain types of
cancer.

There are a lot more local animals blessed in this worldthanks to a free local community event recently held.
The First Presbyterian Church of East Hanover hosted itsFirst Annual Blessing of the Animals on Sun., Oct. 4, at 1
p.m., with another sponsor church, The United FederatedChurch of Livingston. The two organizations invited allmembers in the community to come out with kitties in theircarriers, dogs on a leash and other small pets in their cagesto receive a blessing.
Seventy people with their 30 cats and dogs attended theevent held inside the church in East Hanover. Participantsdid not have to be church members to attend.
“This is something I've wanted to do for three years nowand I'm thrilled to see it materialize,” says SandraMacKowiak of Randolph, church member since 1997 andchair of Worship and Music at The First Presbyterian Churchof East Hanover. “This is just something I wanted to do. I
read about it and I thought it was a great idea. Why not, wehave the property? People have pets today. It makes it nicethey appreciate them; they are a part of their life. It’s uncon-ditional love.
“I got a book with all these blessings of living animals,”she explained. From what MacKowiak learned, animals“walk in; they’re very patient. They seem to sense that thisis for them. No matter how much we look after them, there’ssomething the pet has that the owner is praying for them.”
The blessing can be for a pet that’s fighting an illness, or“maybe a pet lost an owner; they tend to miss that owner;”or a pet lost another pet in the house.
MacKowiak recalls when her first husband died, her dog
took six months to heal from the loss. Her first husbandwould use the phrase ‘kiss away your tears,’ during times of trouble. “I remember my dog, when my husband died, mydog jumped up and was licking the tears off my face. He wasso in tune; it was unbelievable. He looked for him all thetime.”
MacKowiak did not move forward with her idea forblessing service for animals until recently when the pastor atthe Livingston church reached out to her church office “tosee if we were interested in doing any events together.”Attendance had been down with kids playing soccer andinvolved in other events.
“He’s a small church in Livingston,” says MacKowiakcompared to the 57 members at her church. “I told him aboutthe blessings of the animals and he said ‘let’s do it.’”
Established in 1718, “our church is a historical land-mark,” with a large parking lot across the street, soMacKowiak figured her church would be the better of thetwo to host the event as space was clearly an issue. She did
not know what kind of animals to expect- some told her ahorse could show up or even a cow and other pets like fish,a bird, tarantula and even a child with a stuffed animal tobless. There were “no restrictions,” other than pets needingto be on a leash, carrier or crate.
Some pet owners, such as MacKowiak, brought the ashesof a deceased pet to be blessed, something she had not antic-ipated.
When she was planning the event, MacKowiak’s 14-yearold Norfolk Terrier had high blood pressure and suspectedshe could go into kidney failure, but thought “she’s doingbetter, just praying she will fine.” Her hope was to bring herto the Blessing of Animals event; but that plan changed
when Brie unfortunately died on Sept. 19, two weeks prior.
“It's a blow as I was so looking forward to bringing her,”MacKowiak had said prior to the event. “Now I'll have onlythe ashes to be blessed.”
While the plan was to hold the event outside, the forecast-ed hurricane Joaquin that weekend moved festivities toParish Hall inside the church.
At 1 p.m. a 30 minute service was held to bless each par-ticipating animal. Blessings were given by both spiritualleaders- Rev. Jin Han of the First Presbyterian Church of East Hanover and Pastor James deBoer of The UnitedFederated Church of Livingston.
The blessing comes from St. Frances of Assisi, or Patron
Sandra MacKowiak, center, with her new dog Cali; Rev. Jin Han
of the First Presbyterian Church of East Hanover holding the
ashes of Brie, on left; and Pastor James deBoer of The United
Federated Church of Livingston.

Saint of Animals, explains MacKowiak. Thename of the blessing is The Feast of St.Frances, which falls around Oct. 4. Theblessing can be for all pets whether old, sick,
in need of comfort from a loss or deceased.In addition to the blessing, an organistplayed songs about animals on the key-board. Mt. Pleasant Animal Shelter of EastHanover attended and brought some pets foradoption.
At the door, each participant received aticket to enter the door prize- gift cards fromPetco. Each animal received a certificate,whether alive or deceased, as well as a St.Frances bronze medallion attached to a ringto wear on their collar or place in a frame to“bless and protect my pet.”
MacKowiak also invited members of Boy Scout Troop 128 to help fill waterbowls, pass out water bottles to adults andmonitor the animals for good behavior.
Estimated event cost was $400 to be splitby both churches, to pay for signs and ban-ners, medallions, water bottles. Planning theevents, such as this one, was more of thechallenge. I take all these things uponmyself; it’s just something I want to do.”
“We are a small congregation,” saysMacKowiak. “I’ve done a couple of con-certs; it takes a lot of work; you need a com-
mittee.” This year, when she got that callfrom Pastor James, she knew it was signsaying, ‘I’m sending you someone who willdo it with you.’ “We reached out to the com-munity; it’s something for them to enjoy.”
Besides bringing the ashes of her dogBrie, MacKowiak brought Cali, her recentlyadopted Chihuahua and Jack Russel mix.
“We started looking last Sunday as Ithought it might take a while,” saysMacKowiak. “Went to two places and thenwent to Mt. Pleasant Animal Shelter beforeheading home. We went to look at the avail-able dogs. She was the only small one andwas jumping in the cage to get our attentionand we thought she was cute. Had sometime with her in a room and then we wantedher. Except I was afraid I had so much to dowith the event that it wouldn't be fair to her
so we came home. Then I thought, how stu-pid!! So I emailed them and said I'd be thereat noon when they open so save her for meon Monday.
“She's wonderful. Mt Pleasant is wonder-ful, caring and friendly and exists only ondonations.
“One day after Brie died I found herfavorite ball that had been missing for twoyears. Gave it to Cali (new dog) and sheloves it. How and why it appeared I don'tknow.”

He also sent tables and chairs donated by Montvilleschools; helped with orphanages there; held a computerdrive sending computers and laptops to schools; clothingand supplies drive by Glen Ridge High School; equipmentdrives to collect soccer balls.
His efforts, “started at zero and turned into a heat wave of thousands,” he says. “Every year there’s something” else tohelp with. We didn’t have the money; we started with onedollar; now everyone has water and electricity because of us.
“We’ve become the biggest donors,” sending 50,000 to60,000 pounds of goods every year. His customers havebeen a great support by bringing him goods and suppliesregularly; he has also gotten support from the local rotary.

The clinicwill be one floor with high ceilings and will be used to pro-vide free health care to impoverished Dominicans andrefugee Haitians.
“Health care does not exist,” he says, with polio, HIV,typhoid, tuberculosis, mental illness, malnutrition, diabetes,non-healing wounds being untreated and non-prevented.
There have been missions sent already to give inocula-tions and help children by providing hearing aids.
The new health clinic will provide cervical screening forwomen once equipment is purchased.
“We’ve applied to foundations for monitors for equip-ment.”
Working on the building has been the main focus recent-
ly with painters, window installation and roofers on site.Hurricane proof, the building is made out of aluminum andsheet rock.
In the main building, the windows and doors are in placeand the roof is on. Contractors are working on the interiorspace now.
“The outside is spectacular,” he says. “It’s like a four-starhotel.” A priority is also to get 20,000 gallons of water to thesite.
“It’s been very dry there,” says Kambourakis; “may need
to drill for water.”Behind the clinic compound, he has been planting and
now provides fresh bananas, mangoes and papayas. “It’s likean oasis,” he says.
Some local supporters of the clinic include BarnabasHealth, LIG Global, Caldwell University, Rutgers Medicaland numerous rotary and Kiwanis clubs.
“The clinic will serve all impoverished, no matter whattheir nationality,” as stated on the website. “It will serve as abase of operations for heart, hearing, prosthetic, and dentalmissions. It will offer light triage and nutritional education.But most of all, it will bring healthcare to those who havenothing.”
Kambourakis says “we will be training people downthere.” Local doctors, nurses and medical assistants in NJsuch as Hackettstown Medical Center and Robert WoodJohnson Medical Center will be sent on missions work in
different departments at the clinic such as special surgery fororthopedics.
The next two the three months will concentrate on finish-ing the clinic. So far, $380,000 has been used to constructthe clinic which will include a kitchen, laundry room anddormitories. Still needed is $95,000 to complete the com-pound.
The plan is to hold a ribbon cutting of the new health clin-ic in February 2016 with a contingent of 40 to 50 people

made up of local representatives such asCongressman Rodney Frelinghuysen, rotarymembers, representatives from the medicalcenters, other leaders, nurses and possibly
some students.Once the clinic is running, Kambourakis
says his goal is to have separate rooms anddepartments to handle medical issues likeone for hearing issues, one for dental, anoth-er for cervical cancer screening, diabetes,inoculations.
“It’s going to be a beautiful thing,” hesays. Those in the medical field are going tobe a “great help,” and at the same time“they’re going to learn a lot down there” as“there are a lot of diseases.”
The undertaking is huge, withKambourakis visiting atleast six to seventimes a year, but the end result will be anincredible gift to the people in theDominican Republic.
Kombourakis efforts are unrelated to thepeople of the Dominican as he says “I’mGreek; I’m a Greek immigrant,” comingover to the U.S. as a student. I was always agiver.” Kambourakis started out in psychol-ogy and special education and was involved
with children with disabilities before gettinginvolved in his family’s fur business.
“It came back to haunt me that I didn’tfulfill my dream,” he says. “I went back tomy roots to helping children and helping
with disabilities, back to health, it’s me, I’mthere. It’s just Godsend. If you believe inmitzva, if you believe in destiny. My life isgiving, supporting and helping. If you leavea little legacy, if you leave a little building, if you can help. There’s a big need downthere.”
One way of supporting the new clinic isto attend the upcoming dinner dance, opento anyone, with all proceeds being taxdeductible.
To attend the dinner dance, contactKambourakis at 973-226-7303;[email protected]. For spon-sorship opportunities and more information,visit www.dominicanrelief.org.
“Together, we’re building a healthyfuture. Together, let’s finish the clinic.”
Donations are also being accepted.Requested is summer clothing for boys, menand women like short sleeve shirts and ath-letic shoes.

As children get ready to dress up
for Halloween in a few weeks, it
is important to remember that
October is breast cancer awareness
month. Florham Park resident Karen
Casolaro, who underwent a double mas-
tectomy in 2009, beat breast cancer and
now helps others overcome similar obsta-
cles.
Casolaro was overwhelmed with sup-
port from the community and in 2010,
founded Halos For Angels to help those
less fortunate.
Halos For Angels, Inc. launched on
Jan. 7, 2010, a 501(c) 3, a nonprofit char-
ity that helps community families in needdue to sudden tragedy. It offers tempo-
rary support and services until the fami-
lies are back on their feet once again.
“Halos For Angels, Inc. is for the peo-
ple,” Casolaro said. “A place where one
goes to give and to receive through love.
For no one should go through sudden
tragedy without personal connection,
support and love of an angel.”
Casolaro, who is a mother of five chil-
dren- with children in Hanover Park High
and Ridgedale Middle in Florham Park-
said the support through her children’s
friends and families and the schools, was
huge. Hanover Park High School has
been the charity’s main support system.
The high school has a display in their
lobby that honors volunteers, promotes
upcoming events, posts community out-
reach opportunities and volunteer
signups. Thomas Callanan, principal of
Hanover Park High was Halos For
Angels, 2015 Honorary Outstanding
Volunteer Angel; he was presented an
award at the charity’s annual “Love Is In
The Air” gala. Also presented withawards that evening were: Ginny
Akhoury of Florham Park, Kaitlyn Spada
of Florham Park, Chuck Palmisano of
East Hanover and Melanie Tomiziki of
Tivoli Design in Madison.
Halos for Angels will hold Fright
Factor, which runs Oct. 2-31, Fridays
through Sundays. The attraction is a
zombie-infested walkthrough 3,000
Children Dress Up To Help The Less Fortunate
square feet with kid-friendly tours, a
treasure hunt, face painting, pumpkin
picking and design, festival games,
prizes, music, treats and more.
The fundraiser involves many volun-
teers, which come from Florham Park,
Madison, Chatham, East Hanover,
Roseland, Livingston, West Orange,
Whippany and as far as Sparta and
Newton. The organization has helped
more than 81 families since its inception.
“It has been a privilege and honor to
have been chosen to help serve our 81

recipients,” Casolaro said. “This blessing has been and
continues to be supported and serviced by our volun-
teers that “give back” through community outreach
efforts all for the greater good. Extending support andservices through compassion, determination, kindness,
consideration, respectful, loyalty, strong in faith, and
most importantly, love.”
The Fright Factor ticket booth was designed by
Casolaro’s husband, John and built by the Morris
County VoTech students. He wanted to create a hauntedhouse exclusively for Halos For Angels. It originated as
a 900 square foot structure and three years later, he
transformed the structure into what it is today, a 3,000
square foot “pathway to terror.”
“It has been a success year after year as it grows big-ger and better each year with added “scares” that will
haunt your every move with mechanical surprises,”
Casolaro said. “Some of the brave make it out while oth-
ers remain year after year.”
It is open Saturdays 3 p.m.-6 p.m.; Sundays 1 p.m.-4p.m. and it is located at 186 Ridgedale Ave., Florham
Park. The entrance fee is $10. For information, go to
www.halosforangelsinc.com.

Children Dress Up...
T
housands of people from across the region are
expected to come out for the annual FriendshipCircle (FC) Walk on Sun., Oct. 25, in Livingston.
In its ninth year, the FC Walk is a fun day that supportschildren with special needs
The event features a one-mile fundraising walk to
raise awareness of and support for programs for families
with children with special needs. Following the walk willbe a Friendship Fair with a petting zoo, inflatable rides,
batting cages, food and more.
This year’s highlight will be a performance by the
singing sensation the Maccabeats. The a cappella group is
best known for their 2010 hit single “Candlelight,” aboutthe holiday of Hannuka. They have since gone on a world
tour and recorded many other hit songs.
This year’s FCwalk and Friendship Fair will be held atthe Joseph Kushner Hebrew Academy in Livingston.
Registration begins at noon and the walk kick-off followsat 1 p.m.
More than 2,000 people attended last year’s FCwalk
and Friendship Fair and organizers are anticipating an
even-larger crowd this year.
“When thousands of families get together at the
FCwalk that sends a powerful message to local families
who have children with special needs – a message of sup-
port, a message of caring, a message of friendship,” says
FC Executive Director Rabbi Zalman Grossbaum. “Plus,
it’s a great way to spend time with family and friends.”New to the Fun Fair will be a virtual reality display
that will allow people to take a VR tour of LifeTown, a
soon-to-be-built center in Livingston that will redefine
the landscape for individuals with special needs.
The 47,000-square-foot social, educational and recre-
ational center, LifeTown will be fully inclusive so that all
children regardless of their abilities will be able to enjoythe benefits of play and friendship, while receiving need-
ed therapies and learning vital life skills. It will serve as
the base for all FC programs and more.
A non-profit organization, Friendship Circle in
Livingston is a primary resource for families who havechildren and teens with special needs. At the core of all
FC programs is the belief that each person can be a pro-
ductive member of the community and can benefit from
the friendship of their peers.
To create a fundraising team, learn more about the
Friendship Circle or the annual walk, visitwww.fcwalk.com or call 973-251-0200.

New Jersey Blood Services has
planned the following blood
drives:
Oct. 16: Madison Area YMCA,Madison, 2 p.m. to 8 p.m.
Oct. 21: Parsippany Town Hall,Parsippany, 8:30 a.m. to 2:30 p.m.

Center, Madison, 1 p.m. to 7 p.m.Oct. 31: Presbyterian Church of Morris
Plains, Morris Plains, 8 a.m. to 2 p.m.
New Jersey Blood Services, a division
of New York Blood Center (NYBC) is ask-ing for help to maintain an adequate supply
of all blood types, but especially O-nega-tive – the “universal” blood which can be
transfused into anyone in an emergency.
In addition, hundreds of additional blood
drives need to be scheduled to meet pro-
jected hospital demand. Current inventoryof several blood types is running below the
desired target level.
“It’s simple: hospital patient demandfor blood often outpaces our best efforts to
recruit donors and schedule blood drives,”
said NYBC Executive Director of Donor
Recruitment Andrea Cefarelli. “There are
always reasons but we have to overcomethat for the sake of hospital patients whoneed us.”
“This is one of the toughest times of the
year,” Cefarelli added. “We’re asking for
our dedicated supporters to roll up their
sleeves to make sure we’re able to provideour hospital partners with whatever they
need to take care of their patients.”
Blood products have a short shelf life –
from five to 42 days, so constant replenish-
ment is necessary. Each and every day
there are patients who depend on the trans-fusion of red blood cells, platelets and
plasma to stay alive. But blood and blood
products can’t be manufactured. They can
only come from volunteer blood donors
who take an hour to attend a blood drive orvisit a donor center.
To donate blood or for information on
how to organize a blood drive call 1-800-
933-2566; visit: www.nybloodcenter.org.

Get some design advice and do agood deed! Spruce It Up!, spon-
sored by the New Jersey Chapter of
the American Society of Interior Designers
(ASID), qualified interior designers can
analyze residential or commercial space
and help develop a new direction. InOctober, ASID designers will provide one-
or two-hour consultations at $150 per hour.
Participants will designate which of the 24
New Jersey Habitat for Humanity affiliates
will receive their consultation fee and willwrite the check directly to that Habitat
affiliate.
Spruce It Up! offers the chance to pick
up some ideas to transform a tired interior,get some advice on how to maximize its
design potential and gain knowledge toavoid costly mistakes. It’s the perfect pro-
gram for anyone who has resisted consult-
ing an interior designer because they
thought their job was too small, their budg-
et too modest, or that a designer’s serviceswould be too costly.
Habitat for Humanity, the beneficiary of
this program, is a nonprofit housing agency
dedicated to providing decent, affordable
housing for low-income families. Through
volunteer labor and donations of money
and materials, Habitat builds and rehabil-
itates houses in partnership with families inneed.
This is the second year in a row that
Habitat is the beneficiary of Spruce It Up!
In 2014, ASID NJ Chapter raised almost
$13,000 for Habitat, thanks to the interiordesigners who donated their time and the
New Jersey consumers who took advantage
of the program.
“We are proud to support such a won-
derful organization in their mission t
