Swimmer Takes Home Trophy At Adaptive Sports Junior Nationals
S
By Anya Bochman tephen Machak, of Pompton Plains, prefers that people don’t tiptoe around the word “disabled” when speaking of people like him. Born with a neuroblastoma- a type of nerve tissue cancer- on his spinal cord,
which caused a thinning of the spine and sapped the strength in his legs, the 18-year-old has been active in sports since the recommendation of a doctor in early childhood. He joined Children’s Lightning Wheels, a program at Children’s Specialized Hospital

in Mountainside, when he was five. “I try not to look at it as a setback,” Machak says of his condition. “Because of what it has allowed me to accomplish, I view it as a blessing.” His outlook helps him navigate a society that harbors many misconceptions about differently abled individuals. Although Machak has been involved in sports through Children’s Lightning Wheels since early childhood and has been competing at swimming meets since joining the Pequannock High School swim team four years ago, he still finds himself on the receiving end of strange looks due to being confined to a wheelchair. “Sometimes at competitions I get looks because they don’t think I can compete,” Machak explains. “I want to prove people wrong despite what society may say about people with disability.” This weekend, the recent high school graduate got another chance to demonstrate his skill as an athlete as he and 10 representatives from the Lightning Wheels team qualified for the Adaptive Sports USA Junior Nationals in Middleton, Wis. The Junior Nationals is the oldest continuous-

ly held competitive sports event for junior athletes with physical disabilities in North America. Held this year at Middleton High School, July 15 – 22, the national championship includes categories of wheelchair or ambulatory track and field, swimming, archery, powerlifting, table tennis and air guns and pentathlon. The competing athletes are divided by classification-level of functionality- as well as age and gender. Machak, who competes
with his team at regional meets across the country, qualified at a sanctioned meet in order to be eligible for Nationals. The weekend in Wisconsin was a resounding success for the junior athlete; he placed first in all of his swimming events and in javelin; second in shot put, discus and the Open 5,000m track race; and third in the 1,500m, 800m and 400m races. As a team, Children’s Lightning Wheels was placed into the Large Team
division based on the number of its members. Earning enough points throughout the competition to place second in its division, the team took home the same trophy for the fifth consecutive year at the Junior Nationals. Describing the championship as “fun,” Machak points out that it is as much about competition as it is about socializing, with opportunities to meet differently abled athletes from around the country, and continued on page 2

Cedar Crest Protestant Community Donates To Food Pantry
O
n July 2, the Cedar Crest Protestant Community, Pompton Plains, held a food collection to benefit the Pequannock Food Pantry. The inter-denominational congregation filled ten 33 gallon black bags with groceries and contributed a check for $275 to the food pantry, which often finds its stock depleted in the sum-
mer months. Protestant Council President Elaine Thomas said this was the second effort to contribute to the Pequannock Food Pantry and she was pleased that on a holiday weekend, the members responded generously in helping a local group provide a needed service. The Cedar Crest Protestant Community gives cash donations monthly to a vari-
ety of local, national and international charities and donates regularly to the CUMAC clothing drive. The Protestant Community of Cedar Crest is led by Rev. Dennis Rockett. Services are open to residents and the public and are held Sundays at 10 a.m. in the Cedar Crest Interfaith Chapel. Special services are also held throughout the year.

Swimmer Takes Home Trophy... continued on front page reconnect with old friends. And, of course, it is another chance to dispel ingrained stereotypes people have about individuals with disability. Although Machak is somewhat reluctant to say that he wants to inspire people, he does stress that he wishes to be recognized for his accomplishments – not his disability. “Sometimes people think of people with disability as unable to do
anything, acting like it’s ‘inspiring’ when we just go to the store,” he says. “I do want to inspire people, but not for day-to-day things – for accomplishments.” Next on the horizon for the recent graduate of Pequannock High School is Loyola University in Chicago – and swimming on the university’s division. However, while Machak wants to stay focused on swimming, he also has ac-
ademic interests, and plans to study finance. His other, more personal goal is to get involved with a local adaptive sports club – like the one where he got his start as a child – and perhaps be a coach one day. “I want to give back by coaching,” Machak says. “I want other kids to experience what I have – they are entitled to it.”

Brothers Bring Home Silver Medals From National Wrestling Competition
T
By Jason Cohen wo brothers, who share a love for wrestling, recently took home silver medals at one of the largest youth national wrestling competitions in the country. The boys, Jack and Vince Anello, ages 9 and 6, of Pequannock Township, competed against some of the best wrestlers in the country at the Grand River Rumble in Lansing, Mich., on July 14 and 15, earning All American Status and winning 15 matches combined. Jack and Vince were recruited for the competition by Young Guns, a prestigious wrestling club from Ebensburg, Pa. Thy wrestled with the Young
Guns on the first day, each going 5-1 and each finished 3-2 individually the second day. “There’s no words to describe it,” their father, Vince Anello, said about them winning. “It’s how they carry themselves that makes us proud. I told them to do their best and wrestle one match at a time. They respect the sport, win or lose.” Their love for the sport can be traced back to their father. He wrestled at the youth level, for Pequannock High School and briefly for Montclair State University until he tore his ACL. The boys, who are members of the Olympic Wrestling Club in Wyck-

off, began wrestling when they were 5. Vince told the “Hometown News” that after seeing pictures of his dad wrestling and picking his brain about the sport he knew it was something he wanted to try. As he got older he grew to love it. Jack, like most younger brothers, would tag along and go to his matches, slowly developing a passion for it as well. Today, the brothers share this bond of wrestling with their dad. “I’m my sons’ backbone in the sport,” their dad said. “I guide them with my knowledge of the sport through my past experiences.” Vince said he didn’t expect to win runner-up in

Michigan, but was glad he did. “It felt really good to be in the finals,” he remarked. His long term goal is to wrestle in college and be national champions. The brothers have had a great deal of success during their careers and won numerous awards. Vince was the only NJ state champion in the past 30 years from Pequannock and the youngest ever at 6, until Jack recently topped him. In addition to being a state champion, Vince is a three-time state finalist and a three-time War at the Shore National championship runner- up. Jack has also been a state champion and a War at the Shore National champion.

Tame Nail-Trimming Fears
T
rimming pets’ nails can test the nerves of pet owners who might be worried they will cut too much nail off or hurt their dogs or cats. Long nails can be a nuisance for pets and may hamper their abilities to get around comfortably. To help maintain a consistent nail-trimming schedule, pet owners can practice ways to keep calm and apply techniques to make nail grooming easier on the pet. The first step in making nail trimming a calm and comfortable experience is to understand the anato-

my of your pet’s paws and nails. Dogs’ nails remain extended beyond the pads of the toes, while cats’ nails retract back into the
folds of the toes. In cats and dogs, nerve endings and blood vessels called “the quick” lie within the center of the hard nail. The
quick is easier to see in animals with light-colored nails and can be harder to distinguish in dark-nailed pets. If you trim too close to the quick, it can be painful for your pet and cause bleeding if nicked. This is why many pet owners are apprehensive about trimming their pets’ nails on their own. However, the longer the nails are left to grow, the further down the quick will extend. Some pets are amenable to nail trimming, while others may fear the clippers or simply do not like having their paws handled.

It may take time, but pet owners can work with their companion animals to assuage fears and make nail trimming go more easily. The Humane Society of the United States says trimming pets’ nails every few weeks is an important part of maintaining their health and can protect family and visitors from scratches. Before attempting to trim pets’ nails, pet owners should familiarize their pets to being handled. Begin by practicing touching the paws and nails. Reward pets for jobs well done with small food, treats, or
other incentives. Eventually progress to touching the feet with the trimmer. A tired or distracted pet can be easier to handle. According to dog-training expert Cesar Millan, dogs that are especially anxious or wired may need to get tired out before a nail-trimming session. Millan suggests an exercise like swimming to relax tense and anxious pets. A pet that’s especially anxious or fearful may only be able to continued on next page

Family Memories, Happiness Served Daily At Rita’s
Tame Nail-Trimming Fears... continued on previous page tolerate trimming one nail per day. Sometimes it can be helpful to trim pet’s nails with a buddy. One person can take care of the nails, while the other reassures the pet with soothing tones and caresses. Larger dogs may require two people for the job simply because the animal may be too large to wrangle on your own. The right tools of the trade can also make a difference when trimming nails. Nail trimmers come in a few varieties. Many have a scissoring action that brings two blades together to cut off the nail. Another type is like a miniature guillotine. The pet’s nail is placed within a hole in the tool, and one blade
comes down to shear off the nail. Newer nail trimmers employ a sanding or grinding action to wear away the pet’s nail without actually cutting. Some cat owners use human nail clippers or small scissors to cut cat nails, which tend to be thinner and softer than dogs’ nails. Ultimately, find a tool your pets find comfortable and one you can handle properly. Keep a container of nail styptic powder ready just in case you do happen to cut a little too low and cause bleeding. In a pinch, Wahl pet product manufacturer suggests using corn starch, rubbing a clean scent-free bar of soap across the nail, or even applying ice to slow down the bleeding. If bleeding can-

Dental Services Provided Under One Roof In Kinnelon And Afar
t Integrated Dental Aesthetics in Kinnelon, Dr. Robert Logan and Dr. Jessica Logan are providing dental procedures near and far. Jessica, who grew up in West Milford and now resides in Kinnelon, recently traveled to Santo Domingo in the Dominican Republic with the Dominican Training Institute (DTI) and Implant Logistics. There she placed dental implants and performed other sur-
P
gical dental procedures on patients in this third world country, where many people do not have access or money for dental care. She was working in the clinic with 12 other doctors, 10-12 hours a day, placing dental implants. She found this to be one of the most rewarding experiences in her career and is looking forward to returning next year. Robert began practicing in 1976, and Jessica joined
the practice in 2004. Integrated Dental Aesthetics in Kinnelon provides its patients with comprehensive general, cosmetic and implant dentistry, as well as TMJ and headache relief services. The surgical placement of implants and restorations are all done under one roof, so patients are not inconvenienced by travelling to different doctor’s offices to complete treatment. Jessica has her Fellow-
ship in both the International Congress of Oral Implantologists (ICOI) as well as The Misch International Implant Institute. For those patients who do not have insurance, Jessica offers an in-house dental savings plan. She also accepts most major insurance plans. Hours are Mon., 7 a.m.3 p.m.; Tues., 7 a.m. -7 p.m.; Wed., 7 a.m. -2 p.m.; Thur., 7 a.m.-6 p.m. For more information,

T
he leisurely days of summer are over and it’s time to re-establish healthy habits and back-to-school routines. In addition to dental checkups and annual physicals, pediatric medical specialists recommend adding a scoliosis screening to back-to-school checklists. Scoliosis, a musculoskeletal disorder that causes an abnormal curvature of the spine or backbone (sometimes resembling an “S” or “C”), is the most common deformity of the
Back-To-School Health Checks spine, affecting an estimated 6-9 million people in the United States. Certain conditions can cause scoliosis, including muscle diseases, birth defects or injuries, but the most common scoliosis is idiopathic, which means the cause is unknown. Scoliosis is most commonly diagnosed between 10-15 years of age, during periods of rapid growth. Although 10 percent of adolescents may have the condition, not all will need care. “Because most causes
are unknown, early detection through routine screenings is key to providing the best possible outcome,” said Amer Samdani, M.D., chief of surgery for Shriners Hospitals for Children® — Philadelphia. Signs of scoliosis Scoliosis can be hereditary and it is recommended that a child who has a relative with the condition receive regular checkups for early detection as they are 20 percent more likely to develop the condition. continued on page 13

A
s the school year begins anew, lice often becomes a subject of conversation among concerned parents. In certain areas, such as in classrooms and locker rooms, lice easily can be transferred from person to person. Understanding this common foe can help students avoid it and parents recognize it when it’s present. A louse is an ectoparasite, meaning it feeds on its host while living on the surface of the host’s body. Although lice can affect various parts of the body, they are most notably present on the scalp. Research indicates that head lice have been spread-
W
ith shopping that needs to be done and supplies that need to be gathered for busy days ahead, preparing for the back-to-school season can descend into near chaos for many parents. When long school days leave little time for organization and decluttering, any home can quickly become a mess. According to a survey conducted by ClosetMaid, 92 percent of parents describe their kids as messy. Among those same parents, 80 percent give their kids chores and about half of them end up doing the work themselves to ensure it’s done properly. Two out
‘Tis The Season For School And Lice ing among humans for millenia. Ancient Egyptian and Greek books of medicine make reference to lice, and they have even been found on prehistoric mummies. No one is quite sure just how lice originated, though it is suspected they once targeted another host species, but then adapted to living among humans. Unlike lice that congregate on other parts of the body, head lice are not a vector for disease transmission. They are relatively innocuous, but can be quite a nuisance. The insects are adept at clinging to human hair and feeding on blood from the scalp. Anyone can get lice, regardless of their person-
al hygiene or lack thereof. School-aged children between the ages of four and 14 catch lice more frequently than adults. Although firm data on lice infestations is difficult to come by, estimates suggest that as many as 12 million infestations occur each year in the United States among children between the ages of three and 11. Head-tohead contact with an already-infested person is the most common way to get head lice, offers the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. Head lice can be spread when people sit closely to one another, such as in a classroom or theater. It is very rare that lice are spread through
shared belongings such as hats, combs or on furniture. Pets do not play a role in the spread of head lice. Lice tend to congregate behind the ears and at the neckline at the back of the head. Sometimes, they can be found on the eyelashes or eyebrows. Lice can be difficult to detect, and they may not produce symptoms. In some instances, itching and irritation may be so mild that it goes unnoticed. Plus, because eggs (nits) and even adult lice are so small, they can be difficult to identify. Treating lice typically involves using specialized combs to remove nits and lice. Pesticide shampoos
Schools, daycare centers and babysitting centers are common places for lice to strike.
and lotions or nonpesticide treatments may be used to eradicate the lice. Limiting
head-to-head exposure is the best way to avoid a lice outbreak.
Tidy Back-To-School Transitioning
of three of the parents surveyed said their children’s messiness often leaves them in bad moods. Considering one of the hardest things about back-toschool season is creating an organized routine, the time to start is now. When every room in the home can use some reorganization, decluttering in preparation for busy school days can be overwhelming. A smart place to start is in the room you and your kids waste the most time looking for things. These other useful tips can help you take it from there: • Tackle your child’s closet and take inventory of what’s in it. Before you buy
anything new, go through and get rid of torn clothes and items that no longer fit. It can help you see what is needed and ultimately make it easier for them to get dressed in the morning. • Get your command center in tip top shape. Set up a system for storing important paperwork and create a centralized family calendar to help coordinate everyone’s schedules. • Create a drop zone. Contain clutter before it spreads too far around the house with ClosetMaid’s KidSpace, a line of juvenile storage furniture featuring a storage locker that is perfect for backpacks, coats, sports equipment and sup-
plies. Since it’s kid-sized, children can be responsible for making sure their belongings are put neatly away. • Create a comfy homework station. Designate a special space, perhaps under a lofted bed, that can keep kids organized, productive and focused on work while helping inspire creativity. • Download productivity apps on your phone. Help make your life easier as you get into the swing of the school year with apps that assist in organization and time management to help reduce day-to-day family stresses associated with hectic school days.
One thing is certain every school year: having an organized home and systems in place can keep parents happier and the
household running smoothly. Find more home organization ideas and tips at ClosetMaid.com. Source: ClosetMaid

Back-To-School Health Checks... continued from page 11 Pediatric medical experts recommend females be screened at least twice at ages 10 and 12 and males at either age 13 or 14. Children and teens with scoliosis rarely exhibit symptoms and sometimes the condition is not obvious until the curvature of the spine becomes severe. In some cases, your child’s spine may appear crooked or his or her ribs may protrude. Some other markers to watch for in a child who has scoliosis are: • Clothes not fitting cor-
rectly or hems not hanging evenly • Uneven shoulders, shoulder blades, ribs, hips or waist • Entire body leaning to one side • Appearance or texture of ribs sticking up on one side when bending forward • Head not properly centered over the body Diagnosing scoliosis When confirming a diagnosis of scoliosis, a doctor will confer with you and your child while also reviewing your child’s medical history; conduct-
ing a full examination of your child’s back, chest, feet, legs, pelvis and skin; taking a series of X-rays; measuring curves; locating the apex of the curve and identifying the pattern of the curve. Treatment of scoliosis According to Samdani, there’s no one-size-fits-all treatment for scoliosis. “Some cases will just need to be watched; others will need physical therapy, bracing or surgical procedures to stop the curve from progressing,” he said. “At Shriners Hospitals, we

offer the whole spectrum of treatments under one roof, all working together to get the best possible outcome for each child. We also treat children regardless of the families’ ability to pay, so that often provides a huge relief to parents.” For more information on scoliosis screenings, care and treatment, visit shrinershospitalsforchildren.org/scoliosis. A Life-Changing Discovery For competitive swimmer Katie Lyons, a love for the sport began at 7 months old when her toes touched the pool’s water for the first time. At age 4, Katie swam in her first meet. Weeks before she turned 10, her coach observed a rib cage protrusion that looked similar to another teammate who had been diagnosed with scoliosis during routine stretching exercises in practice, and contacted her parents. The next day, her
pediatrician confirmed the life-changing discovery: she had scoliosis. Within a week of being diagnosed, Katie traveled to Shriners Hospitals for Children — Greenville, where she began treatment for an “S” curvature of her spine and was given a 98 percent chance of needing surgery. She was fitted for a brace, which she wore 20 hours a day and only took off for swim practice and bathing. Now on her fourth brace, she has been removed from the surgical list and hopes to continue to avoid surgery as she goes through her adolescent growth spurts; which for many scoliosis patients, can send their curves into fast-forward. Early detection gave Katie a wider range of options for the treatment of her scoliosis. The strength of her core and daily stretching from swimming has helped manage and lower her double curves.

Six Ways To Help Prevent Bullying Putting an end to bullying is everyone’s responsibility. Whether at home, school or elsewhere, it’s important that we’re proactive. Here are five ways that kids and parents can do their part. 1. Don’t be a bystander. It’s true that it takes a lot of courage to stand out from the crowd and defend a victim of bullying. After all, the risk is that you’ll become the next target simply for speaking up. But reporting bullying and being there for someone who needs it are actions you’ll be proud of for the rest of your life. 2. Stop sibling bullying at home. You may think it’s harmless, but it’s not. Disdainful eye rolling, relentless teasing, humiliating taunts, hitting and verbal abuse directed at a sibling can cause depression and anxiety. Make sure your home is a safe place for everybody who lives there. 3. Enlist the help of adults. If you see a need for increased adult supervision at highrisk times and places at school or at home, ask for help from a trusted adult. 4. Get on board with an anti-bullying campaign at school. These campaigns show kids that bullying is not cool and won’t be tolerated any longer. Make an anti-bullying banner and use social media to advertise the
fact that you stand up against verbal and physical violence. 5. Parents: get involved. If your child is a victim of bullying, you need to take the situation seriously. Schools, the police and child psychology experts vigorously object to the belief that bullying is a childhood rite of passage. If the problem doesn’t stop, talk to the school authorities, and then to the police if there are no further improvements. At home, be vigilant about sibling bullying, and make it stop. 6. Pay attention to cyberbullying. Those who use cell phones, internet or other devices for social media interaction open themselves up to the latest form of bullying. Parents, be aware and get involved. Teach your child proper usage of these devices and reinforce that sending any text, message or photo that is cruel, hateful or threatening is as harmful as face to face bullying. Learn about the internet and pay attention to what your child is doing online. All users should be taught cyberethics and the law to prevent cyberbullying. Don’t be a victim. Don’t be a cyberbully. Bullying is no longer seen as a normal rite of passage for children; it’s a preventable behaviour that we can eradicate through education, awareness and action.
