he 5th grade Junior Troop #162 girls who attend
Bragg School in Chester just completed their
Bronze Award This is the highest award a Junior
Girl Scout can achieve. They identified a need at the
Chester Library for a space for kids who are in the in-
between ages of 3-5th grades. The library has a "Teen
Room" and a childrens room, but no area designated for
this age group. They re-decorated an area within the chil-
drens room and named it " Cool Kidz Reading Lounge" -
a name in which most of the 5th grade voted on. Troop 162
created a piece of artwork for this new space and the
library funded the purchase of the new chairs, carpet, and
ottomans. The girls used their girl scout cookie sales prof-
it to help fund the project as well.

he flagpole on the front lawn of the
Morris County Courthouse on
Washington Street in Morristown
will be painted this weekend and will need
approximately two weeks to cure. As a
result, Morris County officials want the
public to know that flags will not be flying
from the flagpole during that time.
In the interim, however, an American
flag will be placed outside of the front
entrance to the courthouse during regular
business hours.
Flags will again be flown as soon as the
flagpole is able to accept them.

Breakthrough Treatment Now Available In Long Valley

Dr Michael S Hyjek uses the ProAdjuster to analyze a
p

Imagine thirty to forty years ago if you were told that lasers
would replace scalpels in surgery or that robotic instruments
would build cars; you may not have believed it. By the same token
would you believe that chiropractic treatments could be performed
using a special hand-held instrument developed by NASA scien-
tists; all while you were sitting in an upright position without turn-
ing or twisting movements?
Advances in computers and engineering technologies have
been able to uniquely blend with chiropractic in order to both ana-
lyze and treat the human body in such a way that was never before
realized.
According to Dr. Michael S. Hyjek, This new form of comput-
erized treatment is so gentle and effective, that it amazes even the
most skeptical patients. Its called the ProAdjuster and is the latest,
state-of-the-art technology in existence today, and the only one in
the Long Valley area
The ProAdjuster can safely and gently analyze and treat the
spine and other joints to remove the nerve impingement that is
often the cause of pains in the low back, neck, shoulder and else-
where in the body. It also works on a variety of muscular condi-
tions to loosen tight muscles with ease and comfort. Many patients
say that its like getting a mini-massage.
It can also help increase the amount of motion in almost any
joint. Even patients with knee, hip and foot problems such as plan-
tar fasciitis are being helped. It is also covered by most insurance
companies including medicare.
Dr. Michael S. Hyjek, the secret to the ProAdjuster lies in its
advanced piezoelectric sensor that is able to detect the slightest
amount of restriction in a joint and then deliver an extremely pre-
cise adjustment. He says that Even though traditional forms of
adjusting also work, people are drawn to this new technique
because of how gentle it is and does not involve
any twisting, especially in the neck. Many peo-
ple love getting adjusted with traditional manual
techniques, all of which are safe and effective,
but there are a large number of people who never
get to experience the amazing benefits of chiro-
practic because they are scared to have their
spines adjusted in that way, says Dr. Michael S. Hyjek, Now,
there is no longer a reason for anyone to be weary. The
ProAdjuster is perfect for anyone who has been thinking about
going to a chiropractor, but hasnt yet made that decision. Dr.
Michael S. Hyjek, wants everyone to be able to experience these
same benefits and if you have any of the following conditions,
the ProAdjuster may be the answer youve been looking for
Low back discomfort Fibromyalgia
Sciatic nerve pain * Planter Fascitis
Neck and shoulder pain Knee or hip pain
TMJ dysfunction Scoliosis
Carpal Tunnel Syndrome Arthritis
Headaches Sports injuries
Treatment with the ProAdjuster is consistent, measurable and
extremely gentle. There is no guesswork, and its safe for indi-
viduals of all ages. Call our office today and mention this article
to receive a FREE ProAdjuster analysis to pin-point your prob-
lem area and see how the ProAdjuster can help. Call within the
next 7 days and you will also receive a complimentary nerve
stress scan and computerized muscle test that can show the areas
of your stress and how its affecting your body. Call 908-876-

O
n Saturday, May 25th, the Morris County Parks
Commission and Fosterfields Living Historical
Farm will present "Civil War Remembrances", a
special event on the 150th Anniversary of the Civil War.
The location is truly appropriate because of its direct con-
nection to this momentous time in Americas history.
General Joseph Warren Revere, grandson of Paul
Revere, purchased the property in the mid-1800s and built
the impressive Gothic Revival home, The Willows.
Charles Foster purchased the farm in 1881, changing its
name to Fosterfields.
Early in the Civil War, Revere was appointed colonel of
the 7th New Jersey Volunteer Infantry. His courage and per-
formance through many battles had him quickly moving up
the ranks. However, the Battle of Chancellorsville, Virginia
in 1863 became Reveres most personally challenging time
in his distinctive military career. Regrouping his men dur-
ing the chaos of battle lead some to believe he was retreat-
ing, which resulted in a court-martial. Eventually President
Lincoln overturned the ruling, but General Revere turned in
his resignation.
Historian, actor and author William Chemerka will be
portraying General Revere in the Willows, along with his
wife Debbie as Mrs. Rosanna Revere. He will share with
the public his experiences at Chancellorsville along with his
undeserved court-martial. Bills latest book is about the
Willows most celebrated inhabitant, titled General Joseph
Warren Revere; the Gothic Saga of Paul Reveres
Grandson.
In the Visitor Center, author and historian Robert Jones
will present an impressive display of original Civil War arti-
facts and memorabilia. The extensive exhibit covers just
about everything related to the Civil War, but there is a
strong emphasis on the personal side of the soldier what
he carried, brought from home, or purchased from the camp
sutler.
Mr. Jones will also have available and will be signing his
Civil War related books. Recently he completed his fourth
book Civil War Artillery A Pictorial Introduction.
Previous to that he has published The Civil War Canteen
Second Edition and Battle of Gettysburg The Relics,
Artifacts & Souvenirs. Although thousands of books have
been written on Gettysburg, he was the first to have pub-
lished an in-depth study with over 750 photographs on the
rare battlefield relics and the unique souvenirs associated
with the famous event.
Anxious to get todays youth more involved in American
History, Robert published his first childrens book titled
Children at the Battle of Gettysburg Their Unforgettable
Summer. The story itself is fictional, but based on actual
events just prior to and through the famous 1863
Pennsylvania battle. It lets children learn about Gettysburg
and the Civil War in a fun and exciting way without even
realizing it. The gory details of war were purposely avoid-
ed and the kids today can put themselves directly in the
middle of what was a calamitous experience by children
Local Author has Book Signing and Civil War Exhibit
such as them 150 years ago.
This event is in conjunction with the 150th Anniversary
of the Civil War and it is an opportunity for both young and
old to experience and better understand the hardships and
sacrifices which were made during the most horrendous
time in our nations early beginning. Bob Jones and Bill
Chemerka are both members of the 33rd New Jersey
Volunteer Infantry and have been active in promoting Civil
War history throughout New Jersey for over 20 years.
Fosterfields is also a working farm with a variety of ani-
mals - using the tools, techniques and materials of the 19th
century. The event is on Saturday, May 25th and "Mr. and
Mrs. Revere" will be at their front door to welcome all from
1:00 3:30. Mr. Jones will be in the Visitors Center the
entire day from 10:00 5:00 to discuss the Civil War, sign
books, and explain the artifacts on display. Fosterfields is
located at 73 Kahdena Rd., Morristown, NJ (973) 326-7645

Y
ou may recognize his name from his
past appearances on Saturday Night
Live. These days, Breuer is also a
well-known resident of Chester, where he
uses his background in comedy to bring
attention to important issues within the
community at The Hive.
The Hive is located in the Chester
Springs mall, and is a new store in the area.
This store is run by the Morris County Arts
Workshop (MCAW), and is designed to pro-
vide a creative outlet for people within the
community.
Breuer, an author, filmmaker, and stand-
up comedian, recently hosted a fundraising
event for the MCAW. This event, titled "An
Evening With Jim Breuer" began with a
comic impression of Jane Shatz, director of
MCAW. However, the smiles and laughter
from the crowd turned to serious and atten-
tive faces as Breuer began to describe the
reason for the event.
The comedian explained that he was
impressed by the passion Shatz had for the
organization. Breuer continued on, stating
that he felt strongly about getting the arts
out into the community. He explained that
he began the Family Film Festival as an
effort to help "encourage arts here in
Chester" with film classes and improv
classes. The goal, states Breuer, is for peo-
ple to come to support the arts in their own
community rather than traveling into a larg-
er city.
Breuer believes that The Hive is an opti-
mal place for opportunities such as improv
classes. During the evening, he told the
audience that he could see himself using
The Hive for many reasons, one of which is
to storyboard his ideas. In addition, he
would like to use the space to teach an
improv class for local children. Breuer
explained that there are many children with-
in the community who are "dying to do
improv with nowhere to go."
Part of his passion is to bring arts to chil-
dren, as the programs tend to be the first
ones cut in schools to help save money.
Breuer noted that while education is certain-
ly a vital component of any school, "it can
put people in a box and smother the pas-
sion." He continued on to say that passion
should be explored by all children, and not
left in the background.
Breuer's involvement has been crucial
not just to get an important message out the
community, but also for the longevity of
MCAW. Lori Klavsons, MCAW volunteer,
was grateful for the time the comedian spent
Jim Breuer Focuses on Making Art a Priority
in Chester and the Surrounding Area
during his evening in town. Klavsons noted
that Breuer was helpful in several ways,
helping to give their "almost non-existent
budget" a boost, and to "keep free scholar-
ships and lessons going."
The event lasted for a total of two hours,
and included many stories, many of which
revolved around his career, life, family, and
the town of Chester. While many of his
statements regarding the town brought
laughter from the audience, there were sin-
cere and truthful messages behind them.
Some of the lines from the night include his
jokes that "the neighbors live 40 miles
away" and that he uses a tractor to go trick-
or-treating around town on Halloween.

er Jim Breuer, formerly of Saturday Night Live.
Addressing a sold out crowd, Breuer mesmerized the audi-
ence with poignant stories about his experiences, tales that
brought out thunderous laughter, an open Q&A segment,
and, of course, his uncanny imitation and enthusiasm of
MCAW Founder and Director Jane Shatz. Breuer, who is
on the board at MCAW, affirmed, I want to encourage the
arts here in Chester. Yes, Chester! Film, improv, open mic
nights all here at The Hive so people can come here and
not have to go into the City.
Breuer also announced he is planning another Family
Film Festival this summer with MCAW and Chester
Recreation. Last years event took place at the Gazebo
lawn in Chester and featured performances by MCAW and
local bands and a series of homemade films submitted for
prizes.
The Hive activity continued well into the weekend.
Chester Borough Mayor Robert Davis, Chester Township
Mayor Bill Cogger, and Billy Andrews, property manager
of Ramco-Gershenson Properties, the owners of the
Chester Springs Mall, were on hand with a crowd of art
patrons to assist Shatz in the ribbon cutting ceremony. Both
Mayor Davis and Mayor Cogger concurred they are grate-
ful for MCAWs efforts and are active supporters of the
arts. The Hive will bring a higher element in the educa-
tion of the arts for children of all ages, commented Mayor
Davis.
MCAW is amazing, added Mayor Cogger. They
understand the arts are the core to a civilization and bring-
ing people together.
Andrews further pointed out that the concept of an
active art space, such as The Hive, in a retail mall is some-
thing special.
Other activities during the Grand Opening Celebration
included performances by the MCAW string ensemble and
renowned jazz saxophonist and teacher Allen Won; live art
by Charley Pellecer; crafts; Legos; and gallery previews.
Chester Recreation Director Maxine Finney commented,
Chester now has a place for the arts where the community
can come together to be creative. She plans to host more
joint events with MCAW including the Summer Archery
Camp in July and popular Haunted Halloween Workshop
coming this October.
In addition to various art classes, other activities at The
Hive include Guest Art Displays, Lecture Series, and
Writing Workshops. The organization is continually seek-
ing help to support its non-profit programs, including its
annual Haunted Halloween Workshop, Art in Public Spaces
Initiative, and Home for the Arts building. To make a dona-

Meet The Morris County Clerk Candidates
I
know what it takes to
operate the Morris
County Clerks Office
and no other candidate has
my work experience or cre-
dentials. That is why twenty-
four Republican Mayors
have endorsed me and I have
earned the support of
Congressman Rodney
Frelinghuysen, Senators
Joseph Pennacchio and
Leanna Brown, former
County Clerk Joseph Bell
and County Surrogate John
Pecoraro.
As a practicing attorney
and small business owner, I
regularly use the Clerks
office.
As a Freeholder, I oversee
the operations of the countys
more than 311 million dollar
budget, including the Clerks
office. I have delivered a 0%
flat tax for 2013. Prior to the
Governors 2% CAP, I
capped municipal spending
to the rate of inflation!
As a Parsippany Council
President and Vice President,
I reduced spending, generat-
ed millions of dollars in rev-
enue, wrote ordinances, testi-
fied in Trenton, and spon-
sored the 911 memorial. As
Chief of Enforcement over
statewide operations, I com-
manded a staff of more than
100 public employees with
five statewide regional and
three satellite offices.
I will make the Clerks
office the most efficient and
technologically advanced
office in the State and protect
your interests. I ask for your
support again on June 4th.

bigniew Nowacki, 41,
is running as a
Republican candidate
for Morris County Clerk in
the June Primary. Nowacki
was born in Poland and
served as an infantryman in
the Polish Army. He immi-
grated to the United States in
1992, married in 1993 and
worked numerous jobs while
learning English. He became
a U.S. citizen in 1996 and has
resided in Denville for over
17 years. Nowacki earned an
Associate of Science in
Business Administration
from County College of
Morris and a Bachelor of
Science in Accounting from
Fairleigh Dickinson
University degrees earned
while raising a family.
Nowackis current posi-
tion in the Treasurers Office
of the County of Morris
gives him insight into the
countys functions and oper-
ations and a very good
understanding of finances in
the county. The County
Clerks position would be a
natural transition for
Nowacki.
By running for Clerk,
Nowacki feels he could make
an impact in Morris County.
His sole purpose would be to
serve the residents, a full
time commitment that he
would not take lightly. He
proposes relocating polling
locations from schools to
alternate sites in our commu-
nities for school safety. In the
interim, he recommends
background checks for all
new poll workers.

y name is Terry
O ' C o n n o r
R e d w i n e ,
Democratic Candidate for
the office of Morris County
Clerk. I am running to give
the people of Morris County
a choice in this election , the
right to elect an honest, open
and willing individual dedi-
cated to making a difference.
The job of Clerk, who
works for residents of Morris
County, includes filing,
recording births, mortgages
and land deeds, performs
weddings,issues passports,
serves as a notary, prepares
the election ballot and over-
sees the voting process.
I am qualified for the
position of Morris County
Clerk. I have worked in the
airline industry since 1977
and my skills as a flight
attendant overseeing flights
with a staff of 10-14 crew
members has given me the
opportunity to serve the pub-
lic as a safety coordinator,
team leader, (purser) and liai-
son between the passengers
and the airlines. In addition,
as a purser, I was responsible
for assigning duties to staff,
organizing service plans and
providing quality care during
inflight emergencies.
Having lost many dear
friends and co workers on
September 11, flight 93 and
175, I volunteered to assist
grieving family members and
co workers and currently
serve as Chairperson of
Professional Standards and
Employee Assistance Person
( EAP) for the Association of
Flight Attendants and
Communication Workers
of America at United
Airlines.
When elected, I plan to
modernize,streamline, make
the process. More-efficient
and, more user friendly to
seniors and all people of
Morris County.

J
ames J. Vigilante of
Parsippany brings political
experience, military leader-
ship, organizational skills and
business expertise as he runs for
Morris County Clerk in the
upcoming Republican primary.
If elected in the June 4 elec-
tion, Vigilante will replace Joan
Bramhall who has held the seat
for the past three terms. With 12
years of political experience as
councilman of the Parsippany
Township Council, Vigilante is
confident he can take over as
county clerk.
I would consider it a privi-
lege and honor to serve my fel-
low county residents as their
County Clerk, says Vigilante,
48. My military leadership and
organizational skills combined
with my governing and small
business ownership leadership
experience is the perfect combi-
nation the next clerk needs to
posses to pick up where Clerk
Bramhall left off.
Vigilante says, Joan
Bramhall has built one of the
most efficiently run county
clerks office in the State of New
Jersey. The reins need to be
handed to a person who has lead
and motivated a team of people
in an operational system, and I
have. I will improve upon the
effectiveness of the clerks
office and I will insure that the
honorable workers in that office
continue to have the tools and
resources they need to deliver
the services to the people of
Morris County. These improve-
ments will contribute to the goal
to the County Freeholders in
delivering a reduced tax budget.
I will get the job done for less.
A lifelong resident of
Parsippany, Vigilante graduated
Parsippany High School in 1982
and earned his associates degree
from Butler County Community
College in Eldorado, Kansas. He
served the U.S. Air Force from
1982-1986; NJ Air National
Guard 1986-1988; and Air Force
Reserves from 2002 to present.
Professionally, Vigilante is
the owner of a Construction
Management Company; owner
of a construction company; a
licensed real estate agent; and
former owner of a pest control
business.

Morris County Freeholders and Clerk
Candidates to Debate Thursday
O
n behalf of the Republican Clubs of the Chesters &
Mendhams, Mt. Olive and Washington Township we are
please to invite you to our sponsored debate for the
Freeholder and County Clerk Candidates. The date of the debate
is May 23rd, Thursday, from 7:00pm to 9:00pm at the Lodge on
Schooley's Mountain. Doors will open at 6:30. The logistics of
the debate are as follows: 7:00pm County Clerk and 8:00pm
Freeholder. The lodge is located at 91 East Springtown Rd, Long
Valley, NJ 07853 (GPS address)
B
arbara Eames, of
Whippany, is a candidate
for Morris County
Freeholder in the June 4
Republican primary. Barbara con-
siders herself a non-establishment
conservative, bringing years of
grassroots activism to her cam-
paign.
Eames believes that county
government needs to be down-
sized. This means reducing the tax
burden by looking for both effi-
ciencies and a prioritization of nec-
essary services and spending.
The Freeholders participation
in a large regional planning organ-
ization threatens personal property
rights, and grants too much deci-
sion-making authority to non-
elected bureaucrats, rather than
local elected officials.
With 25% of Morris Countys
land area already protected from
development, $95 million still sits
in the County Preservation Trust
Fund. It is time to re-examine the
policy of continuing to tax citizens
to acquire Open Space.
Eames was a nine-year member
of the Hanover Twp. Board of
Education, serving as president of
both her local and County school
boards. She has been an elected
member of the Morris County
Republican Committee since 1993.
She has advised state legislators
on policy issues, and worked
closely with local grass roots
organizations to train citizens to
support local, state, and national
candidates for public office.
Eames is a music teacher in the
South-Orange and Maplewood
School District.
Barbara Eames
M
y name is Stephen
DeHart and I am
running for Morris
County Freeholder. I have
financial experience and
responsibility being a private
businesses owner , a real
estate investor , and a gradu-
ate with a degree in
Economics. My family has
lived in Morris County since
before the Revolution. They
fought in the Revolutionary
War, served on the First
Contintental Congress, and
helped shape the NJ
Constitution. My running
mate Barbara Eames and I are
contending as Conservative
Republicans against the
Regular Republican
Organization. We are non -
establishment candidates.
As a caring life long resi-
dent of Morris County I have
unfortunately noticed a
potentially unrestricted
increase in government at
higher levels due to ideas of
regionalization and land
posession.
In Morris County alone,
25% of land has been bought
by government entities.
Nearly $95 million rightfully
belonging to the tax payers of
Morris County sits in a slush
fund used by the county to
dole out political favors while
inaccurate comparisons are
irresponsibly used to spend
beyond their means.
Programs such as Open Space
create no tax revenue, but
plenty of spending proving to
be detrimental to our econo-
my.
There are very few people
willing to address our county
debt of over $250 million.
This type of spending and
borrowing is masked by rev-
enue given to local govern-
ment offices and agencies
such as Homeland Security as
well as rises in costs to the
public in Health Services,
County Clerk Fees, and
Motor Vehicle Fines.
These are just a few exam-
ples to why I am running for
freeholder. I hope to see you
at the voting booths on June 4
th.

storewide discounting, there are special val-
ues on those brands as well.

prices on Byers Choice Carolers &

P
atriots Path Council, the regional head-
quarters for Boy Scouts of America serv-
ing scouting in northern New Jersey, will
be sending five, 36-scout troops to the 2013
National Scout Jamboree this summer. One of
these troops is Jamboree Troop A319 with
scouts and leaders from as far north as High
Point and as far south as Chester, NJ. Jamboree,
held once every four years, will be located in the
newest Boy Scouts of America high adventure
facility, the Summit Bechtel Reserve, in the
mountains of West Virginia. With over 1,000
acres, the facility will host more than 40,000
scouts, leaders and staff from across the nation.
Scouts attending Jamboree 2013 this summer
will be there for the grand opening of
Jamborees new permanent home.
Jamboree Troop A319 meets routinely to pre-
pare for their trip to Jamboree. The scouts par-
ticipate in ice breaker activities to get to know
one another as they begin to work together as a
team in their patrol. Each patrol has been tasked
to choose a patrol name, design a patch and
patrol flag, and come up with a skit and a cheer
that they will present to the other A319 patrols
during their practice shakedown campout
weekend. A flag competition will take place
amongst the troops patrols. The winning patrol
will go on to compete at Jamboree with other
patrol flag winners for a chance to display their
flag at the Jamboree stadium. A special Class A
uniform is required at Jamboree which will
proudly display the Troops name A319, the
official 2013 Jamboree patch, and the specially
designed patrol patch.
Attending Jamboree is a chance to experi-
ence what Sir Robert Baden-Powell, the founder
of the Boy Scouts, envisioned for scouting. He
envisioned a large encampment of scouts to cel-
ebrate scouting while enjoying the highest level
of scouting experience. Scouts will spend 10
days camping, meeting other scouts from across
the nation, and participate in high adventure
activities such as whitewater rafting, archery,
rock climbing, zip lines, mountain biking, boat-
ing, and more. They will learn new skills that
they may not otherwise have the chance to try.
In addition, Jamboree will hold exhibits and sta-
dium shows with entertainment, and will give
opportunities for the scouts to visit nearby his-
toric places and perform conservation projects
in the local environment. A once in a lifetime
experience awaits these scouts.

migraine headaches can affect chil-
dren as well as adults. One study
found that by age 15, 5 percent of all chil-
dren and adolescents had suffered from
migraine headaches, while 15 percent had
experienced tension headaches. Children
often suffer from headaches because of a
cold, fever, illness or infection, including
infections of the throat and ears. Sinusitis
also may cause a child to suffer from
headaches. Ideas as to what causes a
migraine headache have changed over the
years. Scientists long linked a migraine
headache to the dilating and narrowing of
blood vessels on the surface of the brain.
But now scientists suspect a genetic link
could be behind migraine headaches. An
estimated 70 percent of children and adoles-
cents who have migraines have an immedi-
ate family member who also suffers from
migraines or did as a child. Such youngsters
also may be inheriting a tendency to be
affected by migraine headache triggers like
bright lights, changesin the weather and
fatigue. Kids who spend too much time in
the sun or are too physically active may also
be susceptible to migraine headaches.

ack in 1970, the Autosport Automotive Group was
founded by Gerald A. Lustig. His first store was a
Fiat dealership in Bound Brook, NJ. Over the years,
the group famous for its no pressure approach to car sales,
expanded to over 14 franchises, both domestic and import.
President Gerald A. Lustig states "An opportunity came
along for us to get back in the Fiat business after all of these
years. I have always thought their cars were pretty trick and
definitely a lot of fun to drive. I actually raced a few Fiats
in the SCCA over the years. We're excited to be the exclu-
sive Fiat dealer in the Morris County Area. Fiat of Morris
County, here on Route 53 in Denville is a new Fiat studio
and offers a unique vehicle with some incredible attributes."
Sales Manager Mike Olsen really appreciates the her-
itage and future of this unique marque and knows why it
should be a big success in this area. "I am so happy to be
part of the Autosport Automotive Group. It's exciting to be
part of a dealer group with owners that are as excited about
the brand as I am. This new studio location, right in the
middle of Denville, NJ is going to offer the community a
great car and incredible car buying experience."
Autosport Automotive Group VP Steven Lustig has a
great appreciation for the Fiat brand from both a marketing
perspective and the driving experience. When I first started
seeing the commercials and marketing materials for the Fiat
brand I said to myself, "Now there's a brand with a clear
vision and a brand that gets it. Mike asked me if I would
drive the Fiat Abarth Cabrio around a bit so we could get a
little exposure. What I didn't expect was the smile that car
put on my face the first time I took it out. In fact, I can't help
Fiat from Italy to Denville!
but smile still every time I drive it. Now I just have to make
sure my wife doesn't get to the garage before me in the
morning. The very emotion I felt driving the car was the
catalyst for our 'Rediscover' campaign."
Fiat of Morris County offers some incredible amenities.
Every new and pre-owned vehicle comes with an exclusive
complimentary maintenance program and for a limited
time, all new Fiats are being delivered with a free iPad,
courtesy of Fiat of Morris County. Steven Lustig says "We
have a great facility with an incredible team. These cars are
so much fun to drive! We invite everyone to come down,
have an espresso with us, and take one for a test drive and
try not to smile".

o many of my patients have come to Acupuncture as
a last resort for their fibromyalgia pain, exhausting
every other treatment for this menacing and painful
disease. The most common symptoms associated with
fibromyalgia are as follows: pain in the muscles and joints,
brain fog, digestive problems, insomnia and fatigue. Each
individual diagnosed with fibromyalgia exhibit varying
symptoms based on the length of the disease. Fibromyalgia
is tenacious in nature and expresses itself differently in each
individual. It is this differentiation of symptoms in each
individual that responds so well to Acupuncture and
Chinese Medicine. Each individual is diagnosed based on
their presenting symptoms according to Chinese medical
diagnosis, not because a patient has been diagnosed with
fibromyalgia. Each patient is evaluated and a treatment
plan is designed for that patient only.
I have found over the many years of treating fibromyal-
gia that my patients look healthy, hence their pain and
symptoms very often are not taken seriously and many have
been put on anti-depressants by their doctors. As a result,
fibro sufferers receive little empathy from family, friends,
and health care practitioners. Western doctors often avoid
billing using a fibromyalgia code fearing reprisals from
insurance companies that are still debating the validity of
the disease. Most fibromyalgia patients dont respond well
to pain medication and have found little response to drug
therapy.
No one knows or understands how and why fibromyal-
gia originated. Western medicine has yet to determine the
cause, although some believe it may be an autoimmune dis-
ease. However, according to the ancient theories of
Chinese medical differential diagnosis, fibromyalgia fol-
lows patterns of imbalances associated with Qi (energy),
organs and energetic qualities of the body leading to pain
syndromes, some of the following pattern are most often
seen in patients suffering with fibromyalgia:
1. External Pathogens- According to Chinese medicine,
a cold or flu is treated by releasing the pathogen to the exte-
rior. Part of this process includes opening the pours by
causing a sweat. If an exterior pathogen is not treated prop-
erly, it can become latent and lodged in the interior of the
body. This unresolved virus can lodge itself in the muscle
tissue, or more seriously, n the organs of the body.
Interestingly, antibiotics are often used when a person
comes down with a cold or flu, but Chinese medicine
knows that antibiotics are very cold in nature and cold caus-
es contraction. When antibiotics are used in the presence of
an exterior pathogen, the pathogen cannot move to the exte-
rior thus getting trapped in the muscle tissue.
2. Liver Qi Constraints - The Livers main job is its abil-
ity to move Qi throughout the entire body. When the Liver
function becomes obstructed or constrained there is a ten-
dency for the Liver to become heated. Not only does the
Liver function become impaired, but the Liver overacts on
other systems. It can affect the Heart function causing
insomnia and the Spleen and Large Intestine functions caus-
ing digestive difficulties. With Liver Qi obstructions there
is typically an emotional component or imbalance causing
frustration, easy to anger and even depression.
3. Dampness Phlegm is produced in the body when
there is too much dampness, this Phlegm is a sticky sub-
stance which can adhere to every cell in your body.
According to Chinese medicine, Phlegm is not just restrict-
ed to your respiratory system. People suffering from
fibromyalgia often have Phlegm lodged in the muscle tissue
causing stagnation and pain. This is one of the factors that
make fibromyalgia patients difficult to treat with western
medicine. Western medicine has no way of recognizing or
clearing dampness from the tissues, but Chinese medicine
and Acupuncture have been doing this for thousands of
years.
4. Qi Deficiency Many patients with fibromyalgia suf-
fer from severe fatigue. Their energy is often so depleted
that they cant hold down a job or even care for their fami-
lies. Chinese medicine knows how to build your Qi or ener-
gy without further strengthening the pathogen. This is why
fibromyalgia patients cannot use typical supplements that
build energy and vitality in the body.
The patterns listed above are the main underlying pat-
terns seen in fibromyalgia patients. The only way for a
Acupuncture and Chinese Medicine Provides Relief
for Those Who Suffer From Fibromyalgia
patient to regain their health in this situation is to release the
pathogen and resolve the dampness. Both Chinese herbal
formulas and Acupuncture can get you back on the road to
wellness. For a more detailed explanation, please see my
website, www.skylandsacupuncture.com and click on pain
management, under the section for articles, and also read
the testimonials from my fibromyalgia patients.

Sugar: Not So Sweet
For Your Health
M
en and women often joke about needing their
daily "sugar fix." But the American Heart
Association notes that the average American is
consuming nearly twice the amount of sugar he or she
should be, a mistake that could be jeopardizing sugar con-
sumers' long-term health.
If sugar is a staple of your diet, then the following are a
handful of factors that might make you reconsider your
relationship with the sweet stuff.
* Sugar may increase risk of diabetes. Studies have
shown a link between sugar consumption and diabetes. A
study published in the journal Diabetes Care revealed that
subjects who drank one to two servings of sugar per day
were 26 percent more likely to develop type 2 diabetes than
those who drank one serving of sugar per month or none at
all. Sugar-sweetened beverages contribute to weight gain,
and overweight and obesity are risk factors for diabetes.
And the quick delivery of sugar to your body from sweet-
ened beverages can lead to insulin resistance and inflamma-
tion over time.
* Excessive amounts of sugar can negatively affect your
heart. A study in the Journal of the American Medical
Association found that people who got 25 percent or more
of their calories from added sugars were far more likely to
have low levels of HDL, also known as "good cholesterol,"
than those whose diets included less than 5 percent sugar.
Low HDLlevels increase your risk of stroke, heart disease
and heart attack.
* Sugar may negatively impact mood. A sugar high may
temporarily boost your mood, but researchers from Baylor
College of Medicine discovered a correlation between
sugar consumption and depression. The exact link is
unknown, but some researchers feel insulin resistance
resulting from heavy sugar consumption forces the release
of stress hormones, negatively affecting mood.

ach year the National Park Service provides a special
day of activities at the Thomas Edison Factory and
Laboratories in West Orange, New Jersey. It is
called Edison Day. Admission is free on this day. The tra-
ditional programs for this event have been an organized
family day of activities that includes: ranger talks on a vari-
ety of topics, tour of Edisons Glenmont house and grounds,
Edison innovative cement garage with the family cars, and
film appreciation of Black Maria films (The West Orange
Black Maria was the first movie studio in the United
States). This years Edison Day will be held on Saturday,
June 1st.
Thomas Edisons West Orange location is a national
treasure of the original factory and lab buildings that hous-
es the tools, inventions, equipment, records, films and doc-
uments of Thomas Edison. These building structures alone
are museum artifacts of an industrial era in American histo-
ry. This makes the Edison factory and lab location a unique
place of being a museum inside of a museum.
The West Orange location was Thomas Edisons vision.
Edisons innovations outgrew his Menlo Park location. In
1887 he employed Henry Hudson Holly an architect to
design the largest laboratory ever built. The result was a six
building lab complex that took a construction crew of 200
men to build. Many historians believe that this New Jersey
laboratory was the largest in the world when it was erected.
It is estimated that half of Edisons 1,093 patents were con-
ceived at the West Orange location such as: his work with
motion pictures, patented improvements to the phonograph,
and experiments with cement, alkaline batteries and rubber
substitutes. It is the West Orange location that expanded
Edisons horizons from inventor to successful manufactur-
er, businessman, and marketer of his inventions to the pub-
lic. In West Orange, New Jersey Edison created new inven-
tions, manufactured them and then sold them to the world.
The other half of this NPS national treasure in West
Orange is Edisons home - the Glenmont Estate. It is a 29-
room Queen Anne-style home resting on 15 acres of land
and is only one mile away from Edisons labs and factories.
In 1886 the Glenmont Estate became Edisons wedding gift
to his second wife Mina Miller. Mina would open up the 30
seat dining room to invite dinner guests that ranged from
the Wright Brothers, Henry Ford, Charles Lindbergh, Helen
Keller and the King of Siam. The home served as confer-
ence center besides a family residence since they extensive-
ly entertained their illustrious guests in their home. All of
Edison familys original home furnishing have remained
intact and in their exact rooms when Thomas and Mina
lived there.
The Glenmont estate is the birth place of New Jerseys
42nd Governor - Charles Edison. He was the son of
Thomas and Mina Edison. Their daughter Madeleine mar-
ried John Eyre Sloane in the Drawing Room of the
Glenmont home on June 17, 1914, a marriage that would
bear the only grandchildren to Thomas Edison. The

dedicate a Womens Heritage Trail where women played a
pivotal role.

O
livia Rubenstein of Boonton
Township, NJ, was about to cele-
brate her Bat Mitzvah and wanted
to do something special to help homeless
dogs in need. Olivia is a Junior Volunteer
with Eleventh Hour Rescue so she naturally
decided to make that organization her spe-
cial cause. Instead of gifts, she asked for
donations to Eleventh Hour Rescue of
Rockaway, NJ, and her family and friends
responded in a very generous manner.
Olivia collected many donations of sup-
plies such as high quality food products,
collars, leashes, and toys. Everything that
the dogs need while waiting to be adopted
in to their forever homes. Olivia herself
made a substantial monetary contribution.
In total, a donation of $1,300 was collected
in addition to the supplies. The money will
be used to purchase adopt me bandanas,
and also used to help offset medical costs as
well as other expenses needed to save the
lives of innocent dogs in need.
The Rubenstein Family, active members
of Temple Beth Am in Parsippany, NJ, are
committed to helping dogs in need; they
have previously adopted a dog from
Eleventh Hour Rescue. His name is
Paragon and he is a Plott Hound. In addi-
tion they currently participate in the Dog
Foster Family program as well.
Eleventh Hour Rescue wishes to sincere-
ly thank Olivia and her family for their
efforts and contributions to this cause.
ABOUT ELEVENTH HOUR RESCUE
Eleventh Hour Rescue is a fully regis-
tered 501C(3), nonprofit, 100% no-kill, vol-
unteer based organization dedicated to sav-
ing the lives of innocent dogs and cats on
death row. These are pets that deserve love
and a place to live where they are honored
and cared for. No dog or cat deserves to die
simply because it does not have a home.
Many of them are rescued at their Eleventh
Hour--when they are scheduled to be put to
death by shelters that can no longer care for
them.
We give the dogs and cats all the medical
attention they require, a place to live, and
through our extensive adoption services, a
second chance at a happy and fulfilled life.
We are affiliated with many like-minded
animal groups throughout the United States.
Eleventh Hour Rescue is not subsidized
by any government grants and receives no
major corporate funding. We rely solely on
the generosity of our volunteers, the com-
munity, and animal lovers everywhere.
When finding a loving home for one of
our pets, we make a promise to them before
Olivia Rubenstein
Rubenstein Asks For Donations Instead of Gifts for Her Bat Mitzvah
they leave. While they will never be
replaced in our hearts, a new life will take
their place in our homes. Since our incep-
tion in 2004, we have filled that promise
thousands of times over.

O
h whoopee-do...under intense pres-
sure from Republicans to answer
charges that the Obama administra-
tion covered up details of the night of
September 11, 2012, out of the thousands of
pages of e-mails and communiques con-
cerning Benghazi, the White House 'sud-
denly' decided to release about 100 pages of
'repetitive' internal e-mails concerning their
response, or lack thereof, to the horrific
events of that night.
In what amounts to throwing
Republicans a bone, Obama and crew
thinks a Benghazi 'document dump' (includ-
ing communiques with pertinent informa-
tion and names redacted) of a mere 100 or
so pages will placate his critics, and will
make Benghazi and the Republicans go
away.
Guess what...it won't...even though AG
Eric 'Fast & Furious' Holder again said
today that he will NOT appoint a special
prosecutor to get to the truth about
Benghazi..hell, this administration doesn't
want the truth about anything getting out
now does it.
And so this White House tried for
months to keep these e-mails and commu-
niques secret because they knew they would
show how the CIA report was changed...re-
edited...over and over as to what would be
told to the public about that night and what
wouldn't be told...as in what must stay hid-
den at all costs
In fact, those who have seen the e-mails
say they speak volumes about what has
always been suspected...that in the days
after the Benghazi attack when State
Department officials met with Obama
administration officials at the White House,
that the Obama officials crossed out sec-
tions of the original CIA report, a report that
was supposed to be made public but wasn't.
The report that was released reflected a
removal of any mention of terrorism, and
any mention of the name of the Islamic mil-
itant group Ansar al Sharia, an al Qaeda-
linked group whose members the CIA said
were involved in the attack.
The earlier pre-changed versions of the
report, as witnessed by the e-mails, also
spoke of prior attacks against western tar-
gets in Benghazi, as well as intelligence
warnings by the CIA up until the day before
the attack, but these were also missing from
the final report as was reference to the fact
that a day before the attack radicals in Cairo
had called for a demonstration in front of
the US embassy "encouraging jihadists to
break into the Embassy."
The final report was truly unrecogniz-
able from the original CIA report, and this
unrecognizable report became the 'talking
points' Susan Rice used when she went on
the Sunday talk-show circuit, where her
bloviations and lies dared NOT speak the
truth about Obama's possible involvement
in Benghazi.
And isn't it odd that CIA Deputy Director
Mike Morrell signed off on the final report
(even though then-CIA Director David
Petraeus objected to the final watered-down
version) knowing that it was all a lie thus
putting his career on the line, and for
what...to protect a miserable excuse of a
president and his equally miserable admin-
istration's lie about a YouTube video being
the cause of the attack.
But any and everything had to be done to
protect the 'Benghazi Secret'...and you
know what secret I mean...the secret about a
gun and weapons running operation to Syria
that Ambassador Stevens found out
about...that Ambassador Stevens had to be
silenced for...for the Benghazi cover-up was
NEVER about a re-election campaign, and I
wish those media talking heads on our side
would stop trying to push that as the reason
why the murder of four Americans had to be
covered-up.
And to cover for that gun running secret
WH Press Secretary Jay Carney outwardly
lied over and over to 'We the People' that the
White House and State Department made
NO major changes to the 'talking points',
even when State Department officials
admitted the 'talking points' were changed
to protect the FBI investigation and sensi-
tive intelligence.
And the lies continued even in recent
days as Carney, speaking on Obama's
behalf, claimed that months ago congres-
sional committees had already reviewed the
e-mails in question, and "concluded that, in
fact, there was nothing afoul in terms of the
process that we had used."
LIAR for NO such conclusion was ever
made by anyone on any congressional com-
mittees.
But lying is the forte of this administra-
by Hrlin Parker
T
hose who define themselves as right
wingers, from the moderate conser-
vative to the severely conserva-
tive, as Mitt Romney so memorably put it,
have shown us time and again a vast and
deep intellectual inconsistency (what some
folks would describe as hypocrisy) between
their oft repeated principals, such as they
are, and their real views on real world
issues. States rights? Well, not when it
comes to trying to use the federal govern-
ment to ban abortions or to restrict the rights
of same sex couples to marry. Smaller gov-
ernment? Not when it comes to federal
government money for local support.
Youll note that our red states are the largest
recipients of federal government largesse,
those wealth redistribution payments that
conservatives fumigate against all the time.
Its just that when theyre on the receiving
end, they dont see it as redistribution.
Dont believe me? Ask yourself, if youre a
good conservative who hates wealth redis-
tribution, how you feel, if you have two or
three kids in school, about your neighbors,
who have no kids in school, having to pay
huge property taxes that subsidize your
kids education. Im willing to bet youll
find a reason why thats a good thing and
isnt really wealth redistribution.
From one issue to the next there is, as
there has been, a great disconnect between
right wingers noble principals and their
real world actions. So Ive long ago aban-
doned the hope of finding intellectual hon-
esty, let alone consistency, from those on
the radical right. If you take issue with that,
just take a look at the latest study from the
Heritage Foundation on the supposed costs
of any immigration reform (trillions and
trillions really, thats what they say).
Touted loudly by that ex-statesman, Jim
DeMint, its conclusions were so ridiculous
even the Fox crowd had to disown it.
So lets keep this in mind as we discuss,
again, an issue that will remain with us for
a long, long time, unfortunately.
I wrote last month in this space about the
lack of ideas, indeed the dead silence (pun
intended) from the good folks at the
National Rifle Association and similar
groups about anything to do with the
responsibilities that those who would own,
possess, or use guns might have that would
go along with what these people loudly pro-
claim as their unadulterated, unrestrained
rights under the Second Amendment.
Whatever we think about our poorly
written Second Amendment, our Supreme
Court, ideologically tilted as it is, has pro-
claimed, at least for now, that individuals do
have an individual right to own and possess
guns. But not an unfettered right. Not even
this court could go that far. No right is
absolute. Even so, the radical right wingers
have fought, loudly, any effort to instill
some measure of sanity, some measure of
limited responsibility upon those who own,
possess or use guns. Responsibility?
Whats that?
In Toms River, a 4 year old boy takes his
fathers rifle out in the yard, shoots and kills
his 6 year neighbor. That rifle, and many
more rifles and guns, were loose and strewn
about the home. Not locked up. Not
secured. Not unloaded.
In Kentucky, the parents of a 5 year old
give him a real rifle, as a gift, as a thing that
a five year old child should have and use.
He promptly shoots and kills his 2 year old
sister. Is anyone really going to start
defending the idea that it is responsible
behavior to give a 5 year old child a real,
working gun?
In the tragedy of Newtown, all the many
guns in the home were kept unlocked and
unsecured. That isnt all that unusual for
people who have guns in their home.
If anyones gun is lost or stolen, the
owner has no legal responsibility to report
that loss or that theft to police. No surprise
then that few people do so.
No government agency is allowed to
maintain a clear chain of possession or own-
ership of any gun. The objections to doing
so come from some of the looniest conspir-
acy nuts in the country.
Hollow point bullets are legal even
though the only reason, as in the only rea-
son, to use a hollow point bullet is to pierce
otherwise bullet proof armor. Thats why
theyre referred to as cop killer bullets.
No limits are allowed on the amount of
ammunition anyone can buy. And of
course, no records are kept on who buys
what and how much.
The technology exists to identify gun
powder or any kind of explosive material,
where and when any batch was manufac-
tured. Thats an ability anyone in law
enforcement will tell you would go a long
way to solving crimes. But the right wing
The Benghazi E-mails...and Obama
Hoped for Panacea That Isn't
Nothing But Rights
continued on next page
continued on next page
has successfully squelched all efforts to do
so.
Were not talking here about any policy
to actually remove guns from the general
civilian population. Australia did that a
short time ago and the results have been
nothing short of miraculous, and the new
restrictions are overwhelmingly supported.
Life is much safer in Australia now. But not
here. No, here were merely talking about
enforcing a minimal amount of reasonable,
responsible measures that can help towards
keeping innocent people safe.
If the radicals of the NRA and similar
groups want the rest of us to respect their
rights, they also need to respect our rights.
Those include the demand, the expectation,
that people exercise their rights with a min-
imal level of responsibility. Remember,
you cant yell fire in a crowded movie
theatre. Somehow, weve all learned to live
with those kinds of reasonable restrictions.
The second amendment does not confer
unfettered rights. Its high time for those
that want to exercise those rights to start
exercising their First Amendment rights and
tell us what responsibilities they believe
they have towards the rest of us. Lets
remember something. Words can hurt.
Guns can kill.

So whether Obama likes it or NOT
Benghazi is NOT going away any time soon
for all these e-mails do is raise even more
questions about what happened that fateful
night, and even more importantly raise the
question as to why it happened...and the
answer to the why might very well bring
down a man who should NEVER have been
allowed to run for president in the first
place.
You can send all correspondence to

hen savory meets sweet, its simply a perfect
union especially when planning a sizzling
summer-time menu. Nothing brings the palate
more pleasure than a cooked sausage, slightly seared, and
topped with crunchy, fresh salad and salsa toppers.
Embrace a range of simple yet flavorful ingredients
First, select a tasty base for your recipe that can be
quickly and easily spiced up, such as Hillshire Farm
smoked sausage. Then choose a range of fresh ingredients,
such as herbs, vegetables and fruits, that when simply
paired together create a delicious dish. Get creative and try
unique ingredient combinations, such as red onions paired
with tart green apples or mangoes. An intense blend of fla-
vors, along with the savory appeal of sausage, will surely
satisfy even the most hard-to-please appetites.
Challenge your flavor bravery by incorporating other
flavor pairings into your sausage and burger toppings. Your
local farmers market is a one-stop shop for fresh, local
ingredients that are found in the below recipes. It can also
serve as an interactive source of inspiration where you
might find an herb, vegetable or fruit youve never tried that
will easily spice up your own summertime recipe.
Traditional summer fare, such as sausages and burgers,
allow limitless inspiration from all corners of the globe.
This recipe for Caprese Salad Topped Smoked Sausage
Sandwiches combines creamy, fresh mozzarella, fresh basil
and grape tomatoes that channel the summer flavors of
Italy. Cook up this incredible creation at your next family
dinner or gathering and watch the line form in seconds.

N
othing brings people together quite
like a neighborhood picnic or fami-
ly celebration. So, gather up neigh-
bors, friends and family for a celebration of
great food and fun.
Keep the food simple. Ask everyone to
bring a favorite side dish so you only need
to grill up the hamburgers and hot dogs. Of
course, youll also want to whip up a few
special treats. What could be better than a
popcorn bar? Popcorn is both good and
good for you. Its a whole grain food that is
not only low in calories but also makes a
great addition to many recipes. Because,
sometimes, a sweet indulgence is just what
you need.
Set out large bowls of popcorn along
with shakers of garlic salt, cumin, lemon
pepper, dry taco seasoning mix and
Parmesan cheese for extra flavor. Add dried
fruit, nuts, pretzel sticks, grated cheese and
chocolate chips for a make-your-own trail
mix option. Complete the popcorn bar with
a few sweet surprises like delicious desserts
made with freshly popped corn.

N
ow that summer is here, its time to fire up the grill.
For many, a cookout isnt complete without a juicy,
delicious hamburger. Even those trying to follow a
healthier, natural diet can enjoy this classic summer favorite
by using the right ingredients.
Mitzi Dulan, a nationally recognized nutrition and well-
ness expert and team sports nutritionist for the Kansas City
Royals, understands the importance of building a better
burger using leaner, healthier ingredients that benefit the
body.
Lean beef is an integral part of a wholesome burger as
it provides essential nutrients and protein to keep you trim
and energized, Dulan said. In addition to choosing nutri-
tious ingredients, exercise portion control and practice
moderation to create an even healthier burger.
Dulan recommends considering these tips for building a
better burger:
Simple substitutions, such as using lean ground beef, can
create a protein-packed burger that is low-fat and has fewer
calories. Consider using natural brands, such as Lauras
Lean Beef, to kick start a delicious, healthy burger.
Keep in mind that lean beef cooks in 1/3 less time than
regular beef since it has less fat. So, adjust the cooking time
to match your method of grilling. To make the grilling
process as healthy as possible, substitute natural charcoal.
Products such as Big Green Egg Organic Lump Charcoal,
use organic hardwoods and burn more efficiently without
harsh chemicals or odors.
Try new, healthier toppings that add a unique twist of fla-
vor to your burger. Instead of ketchup, which can be loaded
with excess sugar and sodium, consider fresh salsa. Replace
mayonnaise with sliced avocado, which is a creamy, heart-
healthy alternative.
Use whole grain buns in place of white buns. Whole-
grains are absorbed slower by the body, meaning they do
not raise sugar levels as quickly and keep you feeling full
longer. This reduces the urge to eat larger portions or snack
after a meal.

Laura's Lean Beef Stuffed Cheeseburgers
Prep time: About 10 minutes
Cooking time: 5-7 minutes
Serves: 4
Ingredients:
1 pound Lauras Lean Beef 96% Lean Ground Sirloin
1/4 cup finely minced onion
1/4 cup chopped parsley
2 ounces reduced fat Monterey Jack cheese, cut into 4 even
1/2-ounce pieces
4 slices reduced calorie oatmeal bread
2 tomatoes, sliced
4 lettuce leaves
Directions:
1. Mix beef with onion and parsley. Divide beef into 4 equal
portions. Divide each individual portion in half so you have
8 equal portions.
2. Flatten 4 portions into rounds. Place a 1/2-ounce piece of
cheese on top of each round. Flatten the remaining 4 por-
tions of beef into rounds, place on top of cheese then seal
edges of rounds together, sealing cheese in.
3. Grill (covered with grill lid) at 400-450F about 5-7 min-
utes on each side or to desired degree of doneness.
4. To serve, place each burger on top of one slice of reduced
calorie (45 calories per slice) bread. Top each burger with
lettuce and sliced tomatoes and serve immediately.
Grill a Better, Healthier Burger
W
hen youre loading up the family for a big bar-
beque celebration, be sure to load up a variety of
freshly-made salads and deliciously decadent
brownies. Whether pasta salads, potato salads or even those
leafy greens, this side favorite is a perfect accompaniment
to juicy grilled burgers, brats and steaks. Because this
savory barbeque fare can bring out anyones sweet tooth,
dont forget to dish out the desserts. Adding your favorite
nuts, fruit and candy toppings to a rich, gooey brownie can
melt the hearts of guests as easily as the hot summer sun.
The best part about bringing a salad or brownie dessert
besides both being flavorful barbeque staples most
can be prepared the night before. This gives you more time
to focus on the important things, like grilling your next culi-
nary masterpiece and hanging out with your family.
For more tips on what to bring to your next barbeque,

denlysalad. com.
