MLVFD Adopt-A-Hydrant Program has Launched

0

MOUNTAIN LAKES – Winter storms bring heavy snow making it hard to almost impossible to quickly identify and use fire hydrants in an emergency.

National Studies show that important minutes are lost when firefighters need to shovel out a hydrant for water supply to fight fires. Firefighters can waste up to ten minutes finding and accessing an obstructed hydrant, once they arrive on scene.

The Volunteer men and women of the Mountain Lakes Fire Department, your neighbors, do their best to clear hydrants in town. However, with over 230 hydrants it takes days to finish the task.

Mountain Lakes Fire Department is asking the residents and businesses to help keep hydrants clear in order to provide the emergency services everyone wants.

Responsibilities of adopting a hydrant

Keep 3-foot clearance on all sides of the hydrant
Report damaged hydrants
Keep free of brush and leaf piles

You Can Adopt a Hydrant by clicking here or by clicking here.

Dentist Talks About Cosmetic Dentistry Solutions

0

MOUNTAIN LAKES – An exposition of cosmetic dentistry is given by Dr. Edward Shluper, a respected dentist from Mountain Lakes, revealing its role in the correction of teeth which are broken, cracked, spaced or even discolored. It can give an overhaul of a person’s smile, boost his or her confidence and enhance their general well being.

Dr. Edward Shluper, was recently interviewed by Doctor Relations about the benefits of cosmetic dentistry. He discussed the numerous benefits to correcting problematic teeth. No matter what condition they are in, there are cosmetic techniques that solve the issue. Chipped, cracked, misshapen, and discolored teeth can be fixed with current dental technology and proven cosmetic methods.

A 2015 study conducted by Kelton Global on behalf of the American Academy of Cosmetic Dentistry showed an observation shared by 48% of the adults in America, who consider the most striking attribute of a person they meet for the first time to be their smile. The study also showed that 37% of the respondents considered people who had crooked teeth or stained ones as less attractive and 25% thought they were not as confident as those who had perfect teeth. Similar studies showed that some qualified candidates can lose an opportunity to get a job or promotion due to bad teeth.

The power of a good smile was explained by Dr. Shluper who said, “There is a lot that a smile has the ability to do. With just a smile, you can light up another person’s day and cause them to smile back to you. It is a fact that smiling has great health advantages, adding 7 years to a person’s life because of the improvement it brings to the immune system.”

Many who have dental issues, such as chipped, cracked or unevenly spaced teeth, are aware that they want an improvement in how their teeth look. Some of them have attempted to use braces to correct the problem. Others have tried to use home remedies as a way of making their teeth white again. These methods could be dangerous, but cosmetic dentistry can correct these issues without much of a problem.

One of the three common procedures carried out in cosmetic dentistry include bleaching, which makes teeth white again. The other one is bonding which repairs teeth that are cracked, chipped or have irregular spaces. The third one uses laminate veneers to do the same work that bonding does but offers a longer lasting solution. Through these, a person gets a complete makeover of their smile.

“It is not unrealistic to want a bright and attractive smile anymore, and you can have it even if your teeth are in a questionable state. Cosmetic dentistry can eliminate the worry about poor first impressions during an interview or a social gathering,” said Dr. Shluper.

“The best dentist I’ve ever been to,” exclaimed Edgar J. “His number 1 priority is making you feel comfortable, welcome and pain free. Dr. Shluper meticulously does his job. The wait time is minimal. I won’t go anywhere else.”

Dr. Shluper is qualified in several areas of dentistry, including orthodontics, endodontics, prosthetics and cosmetic dentistry. Each year, he spends over 80 hours in continuing education to keep his skills updated. He is also very keen about community based activities that he conducts, such as food drives and free dental care days. As a result, Dr. Edward Shluper has been featured on National media houses, such as FOX, CBS, ABC and NBC.

Bucco bill increasing school bus safety moves to governor’s desk

0

MORRIS COUNTY — The Assembly advanced legislation to improve school bus safety by requiring school district transportation supervisors to complete a training program. Assemblyman Anthony M. Bucco sponsored the bill (A2436) following a rash of school bus crashes, including a fatal wreck involving a Paramus school district bus.

Assemblyman Anthony M. Bucco

“Creating a culture of school-bus safety begins with supervisors at the top,” said Bucco (R-Morris). “Recent accidents raise serious concerns about the supervision of the drivers entrusted with the lives of our children. Well-trained managers will ensure their drivers are dedicated to obeying the rules and protecting their young passengers.”

New hires and those with less than 11 years’ experience are required to complete the 138-hour Rutgers transportation rules and best practices course.

The Assembly passed Bucco’s bill in June, and voted today to adopt Senate amendments that set deadlines for course completion. The legislation now goes to the governor for his consideration.

Blood Drive coming to Madison

MADISON – New Jersey Blood Services would like to announce that it is conducting blood drives at Madison Area YMCA, 111 Kings Road, Madison on Friday, January 25 from 1:00 p.m. to 7:00 p.m. Open to the public.

New Jersey Blood Services, a division of New York Blood Center (NYBC) is asking for help to maintain an adequate supply of all blood types, but especially O-negative – the “universal” blood which can be transfused into anyone in an emergency. In addition, hundreds of additional blood drives need to be scheduled to meet projected hospital demand. Current inventory of several blood types is running below the desired target level.

“It’s simple: hospital patient demand for blood often outpaces our best efforts to recruit donors and schedule blood drives,” said NYBC Executive Director of Donor Recruitment Andrea Cefarelli. “There are always reasons but we have to overcome that for the sake of hospital patients who need us.”

“This is one of the toughest times of the year,” Cefarelli added. “We’re asking for our dedicated supporters to roll up their sleeves to make sure we’re able to provide our hospital partners with whatever they need to take care of their patients.”

Blood products have a short shelf life – from five to 42 days, so constant replenishment is necessary. Each and every day there are patients who depend on the transfusion of red blood cells, platelets and plasma to stay alive. But blood and blood products can’t be manufactured. They can only come from volunteer blood donors who take an hour to attend a blood drive or visit a donor center.
To donate blood or for information on how to organize a blood drive call Toll Free: 1-800-933-2566 or Click here for website.

If you cannot donate but still wish to participate in bringing crucial blood products to patients in need, please ask someone to donate for you, or consider volunteering at a local blood drive.

Any company, community organization, place of worship, or individual may host a blood drive. NYBC also offers special community service scholarships for students who organize community blood drives during summer months. Blood donors receive free mini-medical exams on site including information about their temperature, blood pressure and hematocrit level. Eligible donors include those people at least age 16 (with parental permission or consent), who weigh a minimum of 110 pounds, are in good health and meet all Food & Drug Administration and NY or NJ State Department of Health donor criteria. People over 75 may donate with a doctor’s note.

Founded in 1964, the New York Blood Center Network (NYBC) is a nonprofit organization that is one of the largest independent, community-based blood centers in the world. NYBC, along with its partner organizations Community Blood Center of Kansas City, Missouri (CBC), Innovative Blood Resources (IBR), Blood Bank of Delmarva (BBD), and Rhode Island Blood Center (RIBC), collect approximately 4,000 units of blood products each day and serve local communities of more than 45 million people in the Tri-State area (NY, NJ, CT), Mid Atlantic area (PA, DE, MD), the Kansas City metropolitan area, Minnesota, Nebraska, Rhode Island, and Southern New England. NYBC and its partners also provide a wide array of transfusion-related medical services, including Comprehensive Cell Solutions, the National Center for Blood Group Genomics, the National Cord Blood Program, and the Lindsley F. Kimball Research Institute, which—among other milestones—developed the Hepatitis B vaccine and a patented solvent detergent plasma process innovating blood-purification technology worldwide.
