Current eighth graders, and their predecessors, have a
lot to look forward to in their upcoming years at the
Mt. Olive High School.
About 250 at tended the MOHS Rising Freshman
Curriculum Fair Wednesday, Feb. 1, at the high school to
gain insight into what lies ahead for the incoming 380 fresh-
man as far as curriculum and the facility.
Ranked as the 90th best school in New Jersey-according
to the Aug. 2010 New Jersey Monthly MOHS has gotten
High Marks Across the Board at Mt. Olive High Schoolhigh marks recently for both academics and extra-curricular
activities.With new ranking results every two years, school
officials are anxiously awaiting the next report set for Aug.
2012.
As principal of MOHS for the past 9 years since being
hired in Jan. 2004, Kevin Stansberry is very proud of how
far his school has come and where it is headed. During the
last eight years, MOHS has gone up in its ranking.
MOHS was ranked 140 in 2004; 114 in 2006; 107 in
2008 as the best schools in NJ.
We are anxiously waiting, saysStansberry, who served
as Director of Athletics at MOHS for six years before
becoming principal. Every year weve made improve-
ments. We are excited. We believe we should make the top
75.
Stansberry says, I have seen an upward trend in aca-
demics and extra-curricular programs. From students to
staff, everyone has been responsible for the tremendous
growth and development. Theres something here for every-
one in MOHS. High school counts the day they set foot in
it, but they have to work for it. Its a journey of self discov-
ery.
Many variables are considered when ranking the schools
in the state. Stansberry credits MOHS high ranking for its
first rate state of the art facility; professional staff; chang-
ing attitude of students; improvement in studentclimate and
culture;improvement in SAT, APand HSPA test scores; andunique initiatives.
Regarding the changing attitude in students, Stansberry
says theyre here to achieve the best quality of education
that we can provide for both short term and long term
goals.
Stansberry says We are working with unique initia-
tives such as the removal of the letter D grade. A change
that was made throughout the dis trict since 2010, the
removal of theD gradeas impacted the performance of all
levels of learners, says Stansberry. Failures have declined
Kevin Stansberry
over the last three years.
The re-take policy, which allows students to re-take
failed tests, quizzes and homework assignments, has helped
with the decline in failed courses, but its also the under-
standing at the end of the day. It comes down to whether
students want to work hard anddo their very best everyday.
There are more As, Bs and Cs than ever before, says
Stansberry.
Every time a student receives less than a 70 percent, aparent or guardian is notified. Our parents are very
informed of their sons and daughters performance rather
than before when they were informed only when progress
reports and report cards were issued.
Stansberry has also seen improvement in test scores.
With HSPA (High School ProficiencyAssessment) given to
juniors in March in language arts and math, there has been
tremendous gains over the last three years with more stu-
dents earning advanced proficient scores and less receiving

At the time this arti-
cle was written, my
administration has
been working for the Town
for exactly one month. We
at Town Hall have beenvery busy working on new
projects and attempting to
complete old ones. You will
start to see and hear about
many of the projects which
we are working on as they
come to fruition.
At the outset, you should
make sure to review and
maintain the extr eme ly
important emergency con-
tact information which the
Town has provided on its
page in this newspaper.
That information contains
important contact informa-
tion and procedures which
may be needed in the event
of an emergency. Thisinformation is being com-
municated in advance of a
catast rophe so that when
communication becomes
difficult or impossible, you
will know where to obtain
information or helpfrom the
Town. The Senior Center at
Town Hall will function as
our OEM headquarters and
will be available as a warm-
ing center, for critical sup-plies and a location to
obtain further information.
You should alsobe aware
of the fact that you willnow
have the ability to alert the
Town to issues through the
Town website. Whetherit is
a pothole, stray animal, or
other concern, you will now
have the ability to report
those concerns and get feed-
back within a short period
of time. The program will
better help us respond to
resident concerns, report
back as to how those con-
cerns are going to be
addressed, andto keep track
of the resolution as well asthe cost in terms of man-
power and expenses to
resolve the issues. Visit our
web site
www.mountolivetownship.c
om .
We alsocontinue to work
hard on commercial ratable
opportunities in the
Township, from Route 46 to
206 to the Trade Zone. We
are hopeful to have some-thing major to report in the
very near future which will
go along way to controlling
taxes for a very long time.
We recognize that the taxes
in the Township is the num-
ber one issue affecting both
homeowners and businesses
and are working hard to
control same.
The Township is also
working to improve our
parks and sports facilit ies
through user based funded
From the Mayors Deskprojects. We are working
with the soccer, baseball,
football and lacrosse clubs
to better provide for thei r
needs, wi thout spendinggeneral tax dollars to
accomplish those improve-
ments. Those projects
include, but are not limited
to new fields and drainage
improvements.
Our plans for a 5K race
between the High School
and Turkey Brook, a bicycle
event at Turkey Brook for
our younger residents, the
return of Mt. Olive Week,including the carnival and
fireworks, and the return of
the Mount Olive Gala are
moving forward with signif-
icant corporate sponsorship
opportunities.
As always, we will
endeavor to guide Mount
Olive through the chal-
lenges facing us in theyears
ahead and will continue to
think outside the box tomaintain and expand our
municipal services and to
maintain the quality of life
in Mount Olive.
Sincerely,
Rob Greenbaum, Mayor
Mount Olive Township

M
t. Olive High
School may have
a new nominee
for its recently created Hall
of Fame Kimberly Volz of
Flanders has writ ten and
pub lished her f irst chi l-
drens book.
Volz, 25, - a 2004 MOHS
graduate - is the author of
Marvelous Maxwell Visits
the Vet- a childrens story
about her family dog. The
24-page hardcover book
was published Jan. 10,
2012, by Mascot Books, inHerndon, VA.
Bringing her dogs
adventures to life to share
with children has been
enjoyable to Volz and some-
thing she plans to continue.
The kids love hearing
about Maxwell; bringing
him to life for the kids is
something I wanted to do
and was able to do, says
Volz, whohas beenfilling inas a second grade teacher in
Jefferson Township for a
full-time teacher on mater-
nity leave.
Marvelous Maxwell
Visits the Vet is a fictional
story based on true events.
Maxwell is a 20-month old
yellow Labrador retriever
that Volz got from a breeder
in New York State when he
was only eight weeks old.Her story explains how
Maxwell tore up my dads
yard and ends up paying the
consequences for his
naughty behavior, explains
Volz. He gets a stom-
achache and has to see the
vet. He went under the deck
and ate weeds, tree branch-
es, dirt, twigs, bugs, flow-
ers.
Volzs book teaches alesson about breaking the
rules. If he just followed
the rules, he wouldnt have
gotten a tummy ache and
wouldnt have had to visit
the vet.
The new author plans to
writ e more s tori es about
Maxwell , and turning his
adventures into a new chil-
drens book series.
He is a very curious
Flanders Resident Published Her First Childrens Bookpuppy dog who does every-
thing and anythinghe possi-
ble can, says Volz,
F landers res ident for the
past 18 years.
Volz started writing her
book in July 2011 after
comingup with herideaand
contacting the publishing
company to query an inter-
est. Two months later, in
September, her book was
complete. For illustrations,
Volz turned to Maxwells
vet s daughter- Amanda
Minervini of Chest er, t o
draw the pictures for herbook. Maxwells vet is Dr.
Nicholas Minervini of
Flanders Veterinary Clinic
in Flanders.
I gave her the outline,
says Volz. She drew a few
pictures of the dog and
made the pictures come
alive.
Volz then forwarded the
illustrations to another col-
league, Erich Bumm of Long Valley, formerly of
Mt. Olive, to color the illus-
trations.
The oldest of three chil-
dren, Volz majored in soci-
ology from Rutgers
University, and also
received a degree in ele-
mentary education from the
College of Saint Elizabeth
in Morristown. While she
pursues a career in elemen-
tary school teaching, Volz is
the MOHS cheer leading
coach and a dance teacherat
Theat er Dance Cen ter in
Flanders, where her mother
is co-owner.
She admits that writing
books is something she also
wanted to do.
While looking for a job,
Volz says I wanted some-thing unique to do. Reading
is probably my favorite
hobby. This was a dream of
mine I was able to make
happenbeing able to tell a
story to children. Im sure
many chi ldren have dogs
and they can relate it. Its
been fun too because Ive
been able to raise
Maxwell.
For more informationabout Volzs book, go to
www.marvelousmaxwell.co
m. The hardcover book is
available online at Mascot
Books, Amazon Books and
Barnes & Noble for $14.95.
he book is geared for chil-
dren in elementary school.
There is also a new copy
at the Mt. Olive Public
Library that can be checked
out. Volz plans to give a
reading of her new book,
along with a craft, at the
MPOL on Thursday, Feb.
16, at 7 p.m. Go to
www.mopl.org for more
information.

In North America, horses are largely companion animals and diligent workers. But
thanks to a quietly lifted ban on funding horse meat inspections, horse meat could
now be more readily available for consumption. In November 2011, U.S.
Congress lifted the ban, which was initiated in 2006, in a spending bill President
Barack Obama signed into law to keep the government afloat until mid-December.
Although there currently are no horse slaughter operations in the United States (the
last one closed in 2007), the lifted ban makes it possible for start-up operations to
begin, albeit amidst protests from animal activists. In a statement, the USDA said that
if a slaughterhouse were to open, the agency would conduct inspections to make sure
federal laws were being followed.

Mt Olive: The Mount Olive Jr.Marauders Football Association(MOJMFA) announced their plans
this week for the 2012 football season,beginning with registration. We had arecord enrollment in 2011, and we are
expecting an increase again in 2012! boast-ed Association President Pat Pompeo. Ourprogram has grown by approximately 15%during each of the past three seasons.

The Jr. Marauders participate in theMorris County Youth Football League(MCYFL) which includes 22 teams fromMorris, Sussex, Essex, Warren, and SomersetCounties. We try to enter as many teams as
we can into the MCYFL, operating under theprinciple that we will enter as many teams asit takes to see that each child that registersgets ample playing opportunities, continuedPompeo.
We need to declare to the MCYFL bymid-June as to the number of teams that wewill enter into the league, so we need to haveregistration numbers set by June.
In an effort to encourage enrollment, theMOJMFA is offering discounted fees to allfamilies that register their children beforeMay 1, 2012. Current fees and other detailson registration can be found on the Jr.
Marauders web site atwww.mountolivejrmarauders.com.
For the first time, registration will close
on June 1, 2012 rather than allowing childrento register right up until practice begins onAugust 1, 2012. In addition to the early reg-istration discount, the MOJMFA is takingunprecedented steps to encourage registra-tion. According to Mike Arnone, Director of
Fundraising for the MOJMFA, We hadtremendous success with our Football Maniafundraiser in 2011. Our members enjoyedparticipating in that event as their purchasedgame cards lasted for 17 weeks throughoutthe entire 2011 NFL Season, long after theMCYFL season was over. (For details onFootball Mania, go towww.charitymania.com). In 2011, theMOJMFA handed out over $5,500 in cashprizes to their winning members, so the levelof activity and the number of tickets sold wasactually quite high. Arnone continued, In
2011, we actually ran out of tickets and hadto get more from the supplier, so we realizethat this fundraiser is a great success and onethat is highly anticipated entering the 2012season.
The Board of Director has decided tooffer free registration to any player and theirfamily that sells a minimum of 30 FootballMania tickets in 2012. Upon selling these30 tickets, a refund check for the full cost ofregistration will be sent back to the familythat sells the tickets, according to MOJMFATreasurer Rob DiJoseph. We are prepared tohave every registered child play for free in
2012, if they simply sell 30 tickets during thescheduled sales period (TBD) in the 2012football season.
Mt. Olive Jr. Marauders Announces Free Registration Opportunity for 2012 SeasonThe MOJMFA is made up of the Flag
(non-contact), in-house program for childrenin grades 1 and 2 and who are at least 6-years-old by the start of the season. Contactfootball begins for children at age 8 and inthe 3rd grade and that continues through age
13 and in the 8th grade. There are no limita-tions as to the number of teams that we canenter into the MCYFL for children betweenages 8-10. Children in Mt. Olive have theopportunity to play with other children of thesame age and grade, and we are fortunate thatwe can keep our players-per-team numbersto manageable levels by entering numerousteams added MOJMFA Vice president T.J.
Abato. Offering free registration is a greatway to encourage families to register theirchildren to play, and to register by June 1, sothat we can make the proper decisions as tothe number of teams that will be entered toplay.
For more information, go to the Jr.Marauder web site, www.mountolivejrmarauders.com. Registration begins on March1, 2012 and the MOJMFA highly encourageson-line registration rather than mail-in applica-tions. Adults interested in coaching within theprogram should contact the MOJMFA via theweb site as well.

Sandshore School in Budd Lake will be
holding its second annual science fair
this year on March 10, 2012. The
school had an overhwelming response to the
first fair held last June 2011 with over 70participants. It was a great accomplishment
to all that particpated. The children had to
plan a project, conduct an experiment, cre-
ate a display board, and give a presentation
about their project. Sandshore students
showed their scientific creativity with proj-
ects from booming bacteria to floating
boats, spoiled ice cream, best cleaning
toothpaste, volcanoes, fish, mammals, plant
growth and many more! Each child was pre-
sented with a free ticket to the LibertyScience center along with a custom printed
backpack filled with goodies donated from
local restaurants. The fair was open to chil-
dren who attend Sandshore School from
grades kindergarten through fifth grade.
Trophies and prizes were awarded to the top
Sandshore School to Hold 2nd Annual Science Fair
three projects in each grade grouping. Last
years winners were: K-2:Partners - Lisa
DeCristofaro and Eilidh McCumber, Maya
Jones & Collin Berg. Grades 3-4 Partners -
Kieran McCumber and Alexandra Robbins
Partners - Rachel Mandell and Alyssa
Ouimet & Sydney Mullin. Grade 5 Partners
- Britney Halbur and Jenna Mandell, JustinMickus & Dominic Ruocco. There were
two Kid's Choice awards that went out to
Christian Maier for his Line Tracking Robot
and David Boisvert for his singing glasses.
If you would like to make a prize or partic-
ipation donation to the science fair please
contact [email protected].
We are looking forward to March 10th!
Come out an support our students.

partial proficient.
Receiving advanced proficient in both language arts and
math were: 42 percent in 2009: 60.6 percent in 2010; and 73
percent in 2011.
Thats phenomenal, says Stansberry.More students are taking Advanced Placement Exams
than ever before, Stansberry also notes. In 2004, 85 AP
exams were administered compared to 312 AP exams
administered in 2011.
Grades and test scores are not the only areas of improve-
ment at MOHS. Extra-curricular activity results are fairing
just as high this school year.
The MOHS Marching Band recently won the State
Championship. In sports, there were four conference cham-
pionships in boys and girls cross country, girls soccer and
girls volleyball.
The Robotics Team won the state championship in thePumpkin Sling contest and third place in the national cham-
pionship. Now in its build season, the Robotics Team has
been selected to host 40 teams in March during a robotics
competition at the high school.
The choir has been singing at Carnegie Hall and the
Womens Ensemble recently sang with Neil Diamond dur-
ing the Christmas Tree Lighting at Rockefeller Center in
NY.
The National Art Honors Society Invitational in which
20 schools are invited to bring their best works of art was
scheduled to be held at MOHS on Tuesday, Feb. 7.
Adjudicated by college professionals, $350,000 in scholar-ship money combined was awarded to the winning schools.
Although some other high schools also have their own
television station, MOTV is one of the strongest programs
in the Tri-State area, says Stansberry. Students who get
involved in the high schools television program- which
broadcasts live from its own set- are so far ahead of otherstudents because of the experience theyve had at Mt. Olive
High School.
Recognized for so many outstanding accomplishments
lately, state officials could not ignore MOHS.
On Friday, Jan. 27, Chris Cerf- Acting Commissioner of
Education for the State of NJ- visited the MOHS and mid-
dle school to look at the outstanding programs and tour the
buildings.
Stansberry says that was the first time in our history
that a dignitary that high came to visit our high school. He
was here to see what we are doing and check our programs
out, to engage with the students and staff, look at our initia-tives and our results. We are very proud. He was excited to
be a visitor and spend some time in our district.
Proud of how far the high school has come, Stansberry
says there are more good things to come.
Weve enjoyed the successes that weve had, says
Stansberry, but we are going to look for best practices. You
are going to see us grow with the use of technology. We are
trying to infuse more technology. Stansberry mentioned a
number of devices that are available such as integrating
boards in the classrooms to enhance learning and make it
come alive to the students.
His goal is to take the quality of education to a newlevel. He mentions online tutoring programs such as
Compass on line learning tutorial, in which every family
will be able to log on to tutorials in math and language
courses that contain small video clips to review concepts
and to enrich or remediate their learning.
The tutorial has been used at MOHS as a pilot program,but each family will receive information in their childs sec-
ond marking period report-card mailing about accessing
and creating at- home accounts.
We will continually rewrite curriculum, revise existing
courses, frame out new courses and repertoire of curricu-
lum, he says.
Some improvement projects recently took place like the
new bleachers installed this past summer in the MOHS
gymnasium. Because of its fine facilities and willingness to
host, MOHS has been selected to host The NJSIAA District
I Wrestling Tournament later this month with eight schools
invited to compete.We are a perfect site for these events, he says because
MOHS is able to accommodate so many teams, fans and
families. The benefit to Mt. Olive is the extra monies gen-
erated from concessions, t-shirt sales and programs, he
says. Theres nothing better than competing in our own
facility.
Currently, 1,465 students are enrolled at MOHS enjoy-
ing the quality programs and upgraded facility, such as the
upgraded media center and other cosmetic improvements.
There is a three-year plan for more improvements such as
upgraded flooring on first and second levels; ceiling tiles;
and locker replacements to match newer parts of the build-ing.

Pink Hair Extensions Fundraiserat Alfonso's Salon A Huge Success
In North America, horses are largely companion animals and diligent workers. But
thanks to a quietly lifted ban on funding horse meat inspections, horse meat could
now be more readily available for consumption. In November 2011, U.S.
Congress lifted the ban, which was initiated in 2006, in a spending bill PresidentBarack Obama signed into law to keep the government afloat until mid-December.
Although there currently are no horse slaughter operations in the United States (the
last one closed in 2007), the lifted ban makes it possible for start-up operations to
begin, albeit amidst protests from animal activists. In a statement, the USDA said that
if a slaughterhouse were to open, the agency would conduct inspections to make sure
federal laws were being followed.

We are constantly reminded of the
importance of finishing strong,
whether it is playing all four
quarters of a football game or 16 games of
an entire season. It is no different with stu-
dents during an entire school year.
We are now into the second half of the
school year and thought I would share some
ideas to help your student Finish Strong!
These tips come directly from certified
teachers, tutors and educational business
owners serving your community and ulti-
mately your children.
Get into and maintain a routine
Post a clearly defined family schedule. It provides a sense of comfort, confidence
and independence for your student
Designate a homework area and place for
backpacks
Minimizes lost homework
Eases the morning routine
Establishes one set area without distrac-
tions or outside negative influences
Stock the home work area with age appro-
priate desk sets and materials
Prepare the evening before
Homework is placed in one designated
area in the students backpack
Clothes are laid out and ready for the
morning Lunches are ready or planned for the next
morning
Stay in contact with teachers
Communication is everything
E-mail is an easy way to stay in touch with
your students teacher regarding progress,
assignments and concerns
Utilize the schools online portal to track
progress.
Planners work especially well for students
with learning disabilities as they create an
atmosphere of repetition and review, whichis so important.
Finally, if your student is struggling with
a particular subject, regardless of what you
do, dont hesitate to reach out for help.
Whether it is a peer group study program, a
school sponsored tutoring program or an
independent tutoring company, the effort
and financial investment will pay off for
your student in the future. Be diligent, be
consistent and most of all be confident in
the choices you make.

n celebration of Valentines Day, during the month of
February Macculloch Hall Historical Museum will dis-
play a rarely seen image created by political cartoonistThomas Nast. The engraving titled St. Valentines-Day
can be seen hanging on the second floor of the museum.
The image was published on the cover of Hearth and Home:
For the Farm, Garden, And Fireside weekly periodical on
February 13, 1869. The weekly was brand new when
Nasts illustration was published; the first issue was printed
only seven weeks earlier on December 26, 1868.
The short-lived New York periodical ceased publication
with volume eight in 1875. During his career, Nast drew
images for over 65 different periodicals.
St. Valentines-Day shows a little girl sitting reading
her Valentines Day cards. Nast loved to use himself andhis family as models in many of his drawings, especially in
his holiday images. The little girl depicted in this drawing
is his oldest daughter, Julia Nast, whose name is written on
the envelope a little boy is handing to her. Julia was six
years old when Nast made this illustration.
Visitors can also see more of Nasts work in the second
floor Thomas Nast Gallery. More than fifteen examples of
original images from the second half of the nineteenth cen-
tury are on display in the exhibit, The Original Thomas
Nast. A generous loan of original artwork by a Nast descen-
dant has allowed the Museum to showcase a variety of
Nasts worksfrom an original oil painting to a copper
engraving plate. These rarely viewed paintings and draw-
ings represent a significant departure from Nasts morefamiliar work, and display an aspect of the artists talent
that has largely gone unrecognized.

tudents at Chester M. Stephens
Elementary School danced the day
away, Friday, Jan. 27, during the
Sixth Annual Rock-N-Roll-A-Thon.Sponsored annually by the CMS-SCA, the
Rock-N-Roll-A-Thon fundraiser raised
more than $5,500 this year. All proceeds
are allocated back to CMS to be used for the
students and teachers in the classrooms.
Close to 700 students in grades kinder-
garten through fifth spent 30 minutes
throughout the day participating in dances
they learned during their physical education
classes such as the Electric Slide, Macarena,
Cotton Eye Joe and Thriller. To celebrate
the day even more, students came to schoolwith funky or funny hair for Crazy Hair
Day.
Members of the parent organization hold
the event every year because 100 percent of
the donations raised goes back to CMS and
students are directly involved in all aspects.
CMS-SCA president Maureen Tahmoosh
says, We use the money to purchase things
the school needs as well as cultural art pro-
grams. All of the money collected goes
directly to the SCA which in turn goes
directly back into the school.
Students have a direct involvement in
this fundraiser, continues Tahmoosh.
They feel proud being a part of helping the
school and they have a lot of fun doing it.
SCA members were pleased with theresults.
This year the Rock & Roll a thon did
meet the SCA's expectations, says
Tahmoosh. In fact they exceeded our
expectations. Due to the economy we were
expecting to make less than last year and we
actually made almost the same amount,
she says adding that the average amount of
money this fundraiser brings in is $6,000.
Last year there was about $6200, but in
this tough economy we'll take $5500,
agrees Mandy Thomas, event co-chairalong with Tara Mensonides. That is an
amazing number!
The Rock-In-Roll-A-Thon is one of nine
fundraisers sponsored by the SCA this year.
Money is also raised with the collection of
Box Tops for Education and Campbells
Soup labels, which are on going fundraisers.
We raise a lot of money from the Box
Tops, says Tahmoosh.
Monies raised from the Rock-N-Roll-A-
Thon will be used to purchase Elmo's for
the classrooms.
Sixth Annual Rock-N-Roll-A-Thon at CMS
This will put an Elmo in every class-
room in CMS-Regular and Special
Education class rooms, says Tahmoosh.
Other money will go to helping fund
teacher grants as well as other educational
items to help enhance the children's educa-
tions, adds Thomas.
This day really couldn't have happened
without the help of Mr. Sickles and Mrs.
Drach-Parker, the school's gym teachers,
says Thomas. They work so hard to teach
the student's the dances for about a month
before the event and they are up on that
stage all day dancing with the kids and get-
ting them excited.

The Physician learns
that disease must be
cured by prescribing
drugs or by surgery.
Although there is nothing
inherently wrong with this
approach. It often works.
But why does Chinese med-
icine succeed where con-
ventional Western medicine
sometimes fails? What is it
about Acupuncture andChinese herbal medicine
that can result in relief of
symptoms, helping couples
conceive when they were
told there is no hope, or
even a cure that is often
lacking in conventional
Western Medicine?
Although the ultimate
result of Chinese medicine
is to cure the patient, the
Practitioner of Chinese
medicine attempts to do this
by treating the whole per-
son, taking into account the
various attributes of an indi-
vidual that, when combined,
account for an individuals
health status. A person,
according to the tenets of
Chinese medicine, is more
than their condition. To
treat just the condition mayyield some results, but,
however impressive, these
results are usually tempo-
rary.
People are not, according
to Chinese Medicine, repre-
sented solely by their ill-
ness, but by the culmination
of every human interaction
engaged in from the
moment of their birth and
by the culture they are
exposed to. The emotional
experiences, eating habits,
work habits, work and liv-ing environment, personal
habits, and social network
all contribute to their dis-
ease, and are factors that,
when changed, may lead to
regained health.
The power and effective-
ness of Chinese medicine is
evidenced by its very long
history of over 3,000 years
of continued practice and
success. Did you know thatmore than of the worlds
population uses some form
of alternative medicine as
their health care treatment?
Chinese medicine however,
is the only form of alterna-
tive medicine that has been
regularly and continuously
used outside of its country
of origin.
The experienced Chinesemedical practitioner is
trained to observe ones
tone of voice, complexion,
eyes, facial expression,
overall demeanor, and how
one walks, sits and stands,
and to use these observa-
tions along with a detailed
health history to arrive at a
diagnosis. Before the
patient says one word, the
practitioner already has
some idea of who this per-
son is, clinically, simply by
observing them.A great Practitioner is
one who can process a mix
of medical knowledge with
a personal sensitivity based
on experience. The practi-
tioner of Chinese medicine
specializes not just in insert-
ing needles or prescribing
herbal remedies, but in
being able to see hidden
or subtle conditions that
may not been seen or under-stood by Western trained
Doctors. The ability to see
these subtle conditions
takes years of training and is
done without the benefit of
modern technology. How
many of you reading this
had or do have pain, or are
unable to conceive but all
your test results are nega-
tive? Many of these typesof patients are given anti-
depressants and are made to
feel that their pain is all in
their head.
The only diagnostic tools
used by Practitioners of
Chinese medicine are the
Four Examinations.
1. Observing,
2. Listening/Smelling,
3. Questioning, and
4 Palpating.
This method of diagnosis
dates back over 3,000 years.
Each of these examinationscan take years to master and
the intelligent and judicious
Practitioner uses them to
arrive at a differential diag-
nosis. With the advent of
technology-based diagnos-
tics, necessary and benefi-
cial as they are, there is a
definitive correlation
between advances in tech-
nology and a decline in doc-
tor sensitivity to the patient,and thus, misdiagnosis. The
ability to truly listen and
observe clearly, yields
amazing clues to the cause
of many diseases. This is
what Chinese Medicine is
all about. In addition to
attacking a factor that is
contributing to the disease
process, it is the responsibil-
ity of the ChinesePractitioner to support the
individual in his or her goal
of achieving overall total
health, which includes the
physical, psychological,
emotional and spiritual
aspects of the patient. This
multidimensional approach
is crucial to the process of
true healing.
The key to cure is to not
view curing the disease
itself without regard to side
effects from the treatment,
but rather to treat the root ofthe disease, the anxiety and
depression that causes the
insomnia, which facilitates
exhaustion, which lowers
the immune function, which
leads to chronic illnesses.
With one and six couples
today unable to conceive
and with all the technology
available, many couples are
still childless. Many of
these women are pumpedfull of hormones and even
steroids, baby aspirin and
birth control pills, yes, you
read right. You might be
asking yourself if one is try-
ing to have a baby, then why
put them on birth control
pills. Yet, Chinese medicine
helps these couples con-
ceive without the use of
these harmful drugs. Rather,the Chinese Practitioner uti-
lizes the Four Examinations

Do you eat enough fruits and vegeta-
bles every day? According to the
U.S. Department of Agriculture,
Americans should fill half their plate with
fruits and vegetables. Most people dont
come near that amount.
In fact, nearly 90 percent of Americans
fall short of the recommended daily serv-ings of vegetables and 80 percent fall short
of daily fruit servings. But its easier and
more delicious than you might think to
make food choices that can help your whole
family live a healthier lifestyle.
The ALDI MyPlate campaign brings the
USDA MyPlate icon together with ALDI,
the discount grocer, to encourage con-
sumers to fill half their plate with fruits and
vegetables.
The campaign shares some easy ways
you can put good-for-you produce on your
plate and save money at the same time.
Make your Dollar Count. Filling half
your familys plate with fruits and vegeta-
bles doesnt have to break the bank. Pick up
versatile veggies that can be prepared in dif-
ferent ways, such as potatoes, squash, broc-
coli and zucchini.
Protect your Produce. Place fruits andvegetables in the shopping cart where they
wont get bruised; bruising speeds spoilage.
At the check-out, make sure produce is
packed on top or in separate bags.
Think in the Can (or the Freezer). Did
you know that frozen or canned produce
(without added sugars or sauces) can be just
as nutritious as fresh? Round out your fruit
and veggie shopping with great-tasting,
convenient canned or frozen choices.
Involve the Whole Family. Bring the
Put Produce on YourPlate for Less
