However, he was so shy that whenever she tried to examine his face or head he would turn away and duck his head under his armpit and squeal in agony until she stopped! “Young man I need to examine you!

Now open up before I stick this giant needle in your behind!” Afraid of the needle, ♦ he promptly opened his mouth. Two long white plastic pipes were duct taped to his front teeth!

Woof! scheme gone bad!” she thought as she watched him leave. GROUND HOG DAY is celebrated on February 2. According to folklore, if it is cloudy when a groundhog emerges from its burrow on this day, then spring will come early; if it is sunny, the groundhog will supposedly see its shadow and retreat back into its burrow, and the winter weather will persist for six more weeks.

The good news is that these changes are gradual and your pet will usually adapt quite well.

Leo is a lab/pit bull mix who is about 6 years old. Leo thought he had found his forever home when he was adopted from EHR 3 years ago. Sadly, he had to be returned because his owner had to move and could not take him along. So Leo once again finds himself without a home and without a family. Leo the Lovebug, as his volunteer friends like to call him, is gentle in every way. Once he knows you, he will smother you with kisses and his tail never stops wagging. Leo has a great personality and it shows in his sweet brown eyes that just beg you to love him. Leo knows some basic obedience, is great while walking on the leash, and rides very nicely in the car. He is housebroken, is good with adults and older considerate children, and likes other dogs - but prefers spending time Q - Can cats tolerate over-the-counter medications better than dogs? A - In a word: NO! All of the over-the-counter antiinflammatories are toxic to cats including aspirin. Cats’ livers are very different from ours and dogs’ and they cannot metabolize these medications well. Q - My cat has diabetes and I have three other cats — how can I prevent this from happening to them? A-For cats, the number one risk factor for the development of diabetes mellitus is obesity. By keeping your cats at a normal weight, you will greatly decrease the risk of diabetes as well as urinary problems. Q - Is it okay to give my cat milk? A - It’s fine as long as it doesn’t cause diarrhea. As much as cats like milk, it Q and A After weathering another winter storm, Liller said, “Brrr! I can’t stand freezing my tummy and paws anymore!! When is Spring coming?” Chloe answered, “We have to wait for the groundhog to find that out Liller!” Liller replied, “Really? How long does that take?” Chloe thought a minute and said, “We find out on Ground Hog Day on February 2nd!” Liller replied, “What? That’s too long to wait! I need to know now! We’ll freeze by Februuary 2nd!” Chloe said, “Ok what do we do?” Liller said to get dressed to go outside to their friend the ground hog. He should know something about it! So they left and soon came upon his den. “Hey Mr. Ground Hog! Get up! This is an emergency!!” Liller yelled into his tunnel. “What? What’s happening out there? Why did you wake me up?”, he demanded. Liller answered, “We’re tired of Winter and need you to tell us when Spring is here!” He looked at her as if she were some kind of a nut (which she was) and said, “That’s not what I do! I’m just a plain old country ground hog! You need professionals for that information!!” “What professionals?”, asked Liller. He answered, “You need Punxatawney Phil my fifth cousin removed - it’s his job in Punxatawney, PA on February 2nd every year. He makes big bucks plus gets all the carrot cake and hot cocoa he wants! Now go bother him and leave me alone!”, as he went down his hole to go back to sleep! And that’s just what they did - they packed their bags and took off for Punxatawney, PA and Ground Hog Day!

They make a product called “cat milk” as a treat (available in the pet food aisle) which may be a better choice. Q - My dog has been shaking his head and scratching his ears. Could this be an infection? A - It certainly could be. There are different things that can cause this, but the most common are yeast infections, bacterial infections and allergies. By looking in the ear and possibly doing cytology (taking a swab and looking at it under the microscope) and/or culture (sending a swab to the lab to find out what organisms are growing in the ear and what antibiotics to use), we can decide on the best course of treatment. Q - My old dog doesn’t seem to see or hear well anymore. Is there anything I can do? A - It’s hard to see our beloved friends get old.

The entire time I have worked in this field there have been very few times any two techs ever agree completely. The advice I give here is based on my experiences, testing, and what I know works. Today’s Subject: Facebook scams and why users fall for them This article is written by: Zeljka Zorz, An award winning editor – Very Informative. The two main reasons why scammers are grateful for Facebook's existence are the fact that they can easily access a great number of people in a short period of time, and the fact that victims often end up "endorsing" the scams and by doing so add an aura of legitimacy to them. It's easy to get lulled into a false sense of security, as Facebook often seems like a private and secure part of the Internet where one meets up with friends and family and mostly keeps tabs on their personal matters. But, it's not, and every user would do well to remember it. Here is a list of the most popular scams lurking on Facebook, often repeated with small modifications, and obviously still successful. Facebook account-themed scams Facebook changes its look and functionalities often, but a lot of users dislike any kind of change. This normal human tendency is often misused by scammers who offer bogus Facebook Timeline deactivation options. xxxAn even greater number of scams targets those who aren't satisfied with features offered by the social network and are tricked into believing that there are ways to add functionalities such as the ability to view who checks out their profile more often, view who has deleted or unfollowed them, to see how many hours they spent on Facebook, to post again their first post, to add a Dislike button, to change their Facebook color theme, and even to add a Facebook Facebook is giving out something for free: an official Facebook T-shirt or mug to celebrate the social network's birthday, the random $50,000 reward, free Facebook Credits, or even a free mobile recharge. Lastly, there are scams that try to scare users into doing something because Facebook is closing all accounts, will close theirs because of overpopulation, will start charging users, or the Facebook Security Team will suspend their page. It's also good to know that Facebookthemed scams - and especially phishing attempts and malware-infection attempts can often come in the form of fake Facebook notification emails - password change notifications, account cancellation (or deactivation) warnings, offensive comment notices, friend requests, and so on. Scams that offer free goods from third-parties. Many of these scams target users that want Apple devices such as iPads, iPad Minis and iPhones. There are also bogus $200 Ebay gift cards, $500 Target vouchers, airline tickets, Breaking Dawn Part 2 tickets, and more. Scams that take advantage of news or fake news It could be fake news about the death of a famous individual, real news about such a death, natural disasters, human tragedies, and anything else that has the potential of capturing the attention of millions of people around the world. Scams that take advantage of the innate curiosity of people There's a wide variety of amazing, funny, embarrassing videos and photos, often grabbing the victims' attention with messages that start with "OMG!!!", "WTF!!!" and "I can't believe that..." These appear on a daily basis and usually spread very fast on the social network. What are the scammers after? They aim to get some or all of these things: • Email address and phone number for spamming purposes • Personal information for identity theft purposes • Users to inadvertently subscribe to pricy mobile services (by hiding the fact in very small print at the end of the page) • Users to inadvertently allow continuous access to their account to malicious Facebook apps, along with the ability to post things on the users' Timeline in their name • Users to complete online surveys so that the scammers can get paid for each one • Users to "Like", "Share" or in any other way inadvertently or knowingly promote a wide array of scams and pages that are set up for the sole reason to spam their followers • Users to download malware, adware or grayware disguised as YouTube plugins, video player updates, and similar legitimate software. Why do these scams succeed over and over again? There are many reasons: • Users can't curb their curiosity • Users - especially Internet novices - are not aware that such scams exist so they are easily tricked or scared into clicking offered links • Users implicitly trust posts and links on Facebook because they originate from friends and family • Users wrongly consider Facebook a safe place on the Internet. Many users don't even bother to learn about these scams, and will fall for them over and over again because they either fail to realize they fell for them already, or that the fact that they did not get the free iPad, a new Facebook feature or saw the funny video is not because they failed to do what was asked of them or there was a glitch in the app or the Internet, but because these things weren't there to be had in the first place. I am always about saving money and not spending it on things you don't need to. xxxRemember ANY questions, email me at: [email protected].

DAVID is a loving, small whippet mix who has lost his home due to a change in the family situation and he is hoping that he can find his new family very soon, as he misses having a home and someone to love him. He bonds very closely and wants to be with his favorite person as much as possible. He enjoys daily walks, but would love a nice warm lap to curl up on during these cold winter months and watch TV with you. He is very good in the car, loves to look out the window at everything, and walks well on the leash on his daily outings with the PAL volunteers. He is a sweet little dog and will make some lucky person a great companion. He would like to be the only dog, so that he can get all of the attention. David weighs 15 pounds and is neutered and vaccinated. David is currently in the care of the Pet Adoption League, Hackettstown. For more information on David or any of our pets, please contact us at www.palpets.org, call 973-584-0095, email [email protected] Here’s Tatum of EHR Meet Tatum from Eleventh Hour Rescue. Tatum was born about 3 years ago in the home of a wonderful Eleventh Hour Rescue foster. He was adopted out as a little puppy but returned when he was about 2 through no fault of his own. Tatum is an active Pointer mix who loves to run, hike, and never turns down a long walk in the park. Tatum is living at the kennel right now but stays overnight at his volunteer friends' house. He has good house manners, is crate-trained, and is a CUDDLE BUG. He seems to be a bit nervous around really young children but is good with older, considerate kids that he has met at adoption events. Tatum gets along with some dogs but it is important that he is introduced properly to other dogs to make sure they get along. True to his breed, he has a high prey drive and would prefer a home with no cats or small dogs.

FRELINGHUYSEN, NJ - 2015 With the ground now fully covered in a blanket of snow, it truly looks and feels like winter. To many adults, this is a time of shoveling and inconvenience. But, to a child, this is a dream come true! The kids in the Discover Nature Citizen Naturalist workshop found yet another way to enjoy the snow. They made beautiful ice and snow creations! There were many different sculptures, but the hearts were particularly nice. Some of the kids decided to make icy snow hearts for their parents and give them to them Valentine’s Day. The imagination of a child goes far beyond the scope of most adults. A hand-made, one of a kind Valentine for sure! Let’s all take a little more time to get outside, enjoy the snow and create something fun. If your child would like to be part of the fun or for more information on the Discover Nature children’s workshops at Antler Ridge, please contact Nicole Rose at [email protected] or check out http://www.natureexplore.org/certified/Disc overNature.cfm ARWS is a 501©3 non-profit organization supported exclusively by public donations and grants. Their staff of experienced volunteers provides immediate care for animals 7 days a week, all year round. For more info on Antler Ridge, please check out their website at http://www.antler-ridge.com/. PHOTO: Pictured below we see how the Discover Nature kids had lots of fun creating these snow sculptures. Some were more practical shapes 2 such as sharks and snowmen while others were more sentimental like the heart shaped valentine sculptures. They had a good time making them at ARWS! So come on down and join the fun! 3 Page 3 The Paulinskill Valley Chronicle - January 28, 2015 This is my tiny niece Josephine. She is an incredibly strong, happy, brave little girl who loves listening to music and reading stories with her mom and dad. She also has hydrocephalus. Hydrocephalus is a condition where there is too much fluid inside the ventricles of the brain, causing pressure to build inside the skull. It can cause developmental delays, learning disabilities and problems with memory and coordination. There is no cure for hydrocephalus, and the only treatment is brain surgery. Josephine will need a shunt and ongoing medical care for the rest of her life. This fundraiser is to help my brother Joshua and his wonderful wife Meagan with some of the costs of Josie’s treatment that are not covered by their insurance. Josephine made quite an entrance into the world when she was born prematurely on May 21, 2014 at 29 weeks, 2 days by emergency c-section. She weighed only 2lbs 4oz. Her mom, Meagan, had severe preeclampsia causing dangerously high blood pressure putting her at risk for a stroke or seizure. The only cure was to deliver Josephine early. Since her birth she had endured 4 surguries to help her stay alive. Finally, after 70 days in the NICU, Josie was released from the hospital and came home with her parents. Meagan and Josh But Josephine's fight continues. Her January MRI showed that her shunt seemed to be malfunctioning. She had surgery on January 13th, replacing her old malfunctioning shunt with a new one. She came home two days later, but was clearly uncomfortable. Her parents knew something was wrong and brought her for another MRI. Her fifth brain surgery followed one week after the fourth. There Please Help With Josie’s Journey is no cure for hydrocephalus and Josie also has to overcome the same struggles as every premature baby. She needs physical therapy every week to hopefully catch up developmentally. The financial burden this has placed on Josie's parents is overwhelming. Although they have medical insurance, there is so much that is not covered. The doctor suggested both physical and occupational therapy at least once per week, but insurance will only pay for thirty visits per year. Insurance denied the Synagis vaccine (used to prevent RSV, a respiratory virus very dangerous for preemies) because Josie was not premature enough; she missed the cut-off by two days. At over $2,400 per injection and a series of 5 injections needed, her parents simply could not afford it. Their second appeal was also denied and they are beginning the appeal process again. Joshua works at our family campground, but his salary cannot keep up with the continual medical expenses that are piling on top of their regular living expenses. Because of Josie's medical needs, Meagan is not able to return to work and spends most of her days going to and from doctor appointments and therapy sessions. How your generous gifts will help Josephine and her parents: To pay for tests, medication, vaccinations and therapies not covered by insurance; Help cover insurance co-pays and deductibles; Cover gas and lodging expenses when traveling to and from the hospital and doctors’ appointments. Every little bit helps and is greatly appreciated.

G i n a R a j e c k a s R o y a l e WNTI's showcase series at Millrace Pond debuts Feb. 6 with NWR's Gina Rajeckas Royale WCCC SLATES ANNUAL HIGH SCHOOL WRITING CONTEST HOPE - WNTI prides itself on not only playing great music of established musicians, but also highlighting up and coming talent, particularly when it comes to Northwest New Jersey. A new showcase series that focuses on these up and coming artists kicks off at the Inn at Millrace Pond in Hope on Friday night Feb. 6 with Blairstown's Gina Rajeckas Royale taking center stage in The Tavern. WNTI DJ Jeff Rusch, whose Saturday morning show, Crow's Nest, has been a fixture at the station for many years, will host the Tavern Showcase Series. "This is an opportunity to give some very talented musicians a showcase to perform live," said Mel Thiel, Development Director and Manager of WNTI. "We have an amazing pool of talented musicians in our region and we want to use this series to highlight them in a cozy setting." The historic Inn, a B&B/Restaurant located in the heart of Hope, will host the WNTI Showcase as a semi-regular event at the Inn. Admission is $10 per person, with proceeds going to WNTI, a public non-profit radio station. Rajeckas Royale, a senior at North Warren Regional High School, plays the piano and has an amazing voice that will surely take her places in the years to come. A contemporary singer/songwriter, she is a driven musician with passion. Her upcoming EP, "Heir", is a compilation of a few of her original songs. Inspired by a teacher, an ex-friend, and a guy, Royale pours her heart into the EP, drawing inspiration from a wide variety of artists such as Stevie Wonder, The Broods, P!nk, John Mayer, Michael Jackson, and The Beatles. Royale has sung and played the piano for almost all her life, but she started writing her own songs at 14 years old. "After writing my first song, I remember sitting at the piano and just soaking it in," she remembered. "The fact that I just put my thoughts and feelings into my own song was awesome. It was unreal." Since then, she has come a long way with an abundance of support from family, friends, and fans. Her ultimate goal is for her music to inspire people across the globe. "I want my music to do for people what it does for me; music heals, and music inspires," she said. FMI about Royale visit www.ginaroyale.com.

The Health Benefits of Chiropractic Care Reprinted with permission from www.18stillwater.com and Sandy Giacobbe, D.C. Chiropractic care is the one form of health care that keeps on giving. Chiropractic care certainly helps people to recover from short-term health problems, but this powerful method of healing also helps people stay well and assists in preventing new problems from developing. Your chiropractor treats a wide variety of musculoskeletal problems. Neck pain, back pain, pain that travels from the neck to the arm and hand, pain that travels from the back to the leg and foot, headaches, and muscle spasms are conditions commonly treated. Your chiropractor also treats many types of exercise and sports-related injuries, such as rotator cuff injuries, tennis elbow, wrist sprains, knee injuries, ankle sprains, and shin splints. Repetitive stress injuries such as carpal tunnel syndrome are also treated using chiropractic care. It is also known that by taking care of the central nerve system through chiropractic care, there may be valuable benefits to page 4 XXKnowlton Township Elementary School held its annual school spelling bee on January 9th. The school spelling bee winner, Lily Starrs, will now move on to the Express Times preliminary written exam which will take place on February 26th at Northampton County Community College. The preliminary Bee will be a 25 word written exam. Top-ranking spellers from the preliminary Bee will move on to the 28th Annual ExpressTimes Regional Spelling Bee. The champion of the 28th Annual Express-Times Regional Spelling Bee will win a trip to Washington, D.C., to compete in the Scripps National Spelling Bee. The entire school promoted the spelling bee all week long. Students created encouraging posters for the spelling competitors and hung them throughout the school’s hallways. Staff members and students participated in “Tip Your Hat to Our Spellers Day” where students wore hats to school. They also had days to wear stripes, dress in the school’s colors, and, on the day of the Spelling Bee, the students wore yellow and black to support the spelling bee.

Chiropractic care may also be of great assistance during pregnancy, in helping to relieve neck pain and back pain and to ease the process of delivery. Chiropractic care can be beneficial for so many health problems owing to the fact that chiropractic care directly affects the functioning of your nerve system. Your nerve system, consisting of your brain, spinal cord, and nerves that branch out to the rest of your body, is your master physiologic system. Your nerve system controls all the other systems by sending signals to every cell, tissue, and organ in your body. Your heart relies on the nerve system so that it can pump blood at the right time and in the right amount. Your small intestine relies on the nerve system so that it can complete the digestion of food and transmit usable nutrients to the bloodstream. Your white blood cells and other immune system agents rely on the nerve system so that they can quickly identify and destroy foreign invaders such as bacteria and viruses. But your nerve system can break down, in a sense, if spinal nerve interference is present. Such nerve interference, from the irritation and inflammation of spinal nerves, is caused by loss of full mobility of spinal vertebras. Limited spinal motion irritates the muscles that move the spinal bones and the ligaments that hold those bones together. Inflamed spinal muscles and spinal ligaments cause spinal nerve inflammation. The immediate result is distortion in the quality and flow of information sent from the brain to the rest of the body. Too much or too little information is sent to the cells, tissues, and organs. The messages they receive are the wrong messages, or the messages arrive at the wrong time. The outcome is decreased functioning and/or inappropriate functioning of many other physiologic systems. Thus, spinal nerve interference is one of the primary causes of the many health challenges and problems that may bring a person to seek chiropractic care. Chiropractic care helps reduce and remove nerve interference by restoring increased functioning of your spinal column. The direct result is improved overall functioning of the rest of your body. By directly focusing on your spine and nerve system, your chiropractor can help Flynn - Harra XXBradlee Thrasher, pictured at right, a sophomore at Faith Christian School in Roseto, PA and the son of Rod and Paula Thrasher of Tannersville, PA, has been selected by the faculty to represent Faith Christian at the HOBY Leadership Seminar to be held in Philadelphia in late May.

Chiropractic Care Is Comprehensive Care Following a complete evaluation, which includes a health history and physical examination, your chiropractor will design a care plan that will help get to the root of your pain and health challenge and help you meet your specific health needs. Your care plan will include chiropractic care focusing on improving function of your spinal column and relieving your pain. Your care plan will likely include additional recommendations, such as stretches, exercises, and information on healthy nutritional planning and/or whole food supplements that can support your health regiment. Your chiropractic care plan may include strategies for reducing stress and obtaining proper rest along with other recommendations to support your recovery. Chiropractors are well known for their ability to treat musculoskeletal problems such as neck pain, back pain, and headaches and to focuses on the nerve system. In addition, as holistic practitioners, chiropractors have expertise in many other areas of health care, including nutrition, fitness, kinesiology, immune function and overall health.

Sarcoidosis and cancer may mimic one another, making the distinction difficult. Its cause is unknown and there is currently no cure. “Since Sarcoidosis is so difficult to properly diagnosis because of its various symptoms and similarities to cancer, it’s important that we educate the public and increase the understanding of this disease between its victims, the medical profession and the citizens of New Jersey,” said McHose, R-Sussex, Warren and Morris. “Individuals who suffer from the disease need and deserve our support. This designation will help heighten public awareness about this neglected, chronic and disabling disease.” McHose was made aware of the disease from one of her constituents, Nancy TornilloHarris, who is in the process of establishing a Sarcoidosis support group in Northwest Jersey. “Experiencing symptoms of a disease, but not having a firm diagnosis is very frustrating,” stated Space, R-Sussex, Warren and Morris. “That’s why education is one of our best weapons against Sarcoidosis. This designation will hopefully serve as a springboard to a broader awareness of this debilitating disease.” Sandra Conroy, President and Founder of the National Sarcoidosis Resource Center, said diagnosis is often difficult, which adds to the frustration of those who are experiencing symptoms. "Sarcoidosis is often mistaken for other diseases, such as multiple sclerosis, lupus, rheumatoid arthritis, cancer, and tuberculosis," said Conroy. "There are thousands of people in New Jersey that are living with Sarcoidosis and support from Assemblywoman McHose and Assemblyman Space means so much." Sarcoidosis most commonly affects young adults of both sexes, although studies have reported more cases in females. Common symptoms are vague, such as fatigue unchanged by sleep, lack of energy, weight loss, aches and pains, arthritis, dry eyes, swelling of the knees, blurry vision, shortness of breath, a dry hacking cough or skin lesions.

Visit www.nami-sussex-nj.org Free Job Training Program for Women Starts in February Project Self-Sufficiency (PSS) announces the spring session of its popular employment training program, “Higher Opportunities for Women,” will launch Feb 3rd. The 16-week HOW Program combines intensive computer skills training with classroom instruction and off-site internships to prepare women who have been out of the work force or underemployed to seek entry-level office administrative positions. Computer training and classroom instruction will take place at the agency’s campus located at 127 Mill St in Newton. Women who take part in the agency’s HOW program can expect 80 hours of computer skills training, including instruction in Microsoft Word, Excel and other applications. The HOW program also includes 40 hours of classroom instruction and 120 hours at an unpaid externship at a community employment site, which further prepares participants to successfully venture into the job market. Coursework focuses on workplace navigation, life skills training, resume preparation, and interviewing strategies. Over the years, PSS has partnered with a variety of local businesses, non-profit organizations and government entities to provide HOW participants with externship opportunities. Participants gain real-life work experience while honing the computer skills they have received as part of the HOW training program. Since the HOW program’s inception, more than 700 women have gained self-confidence and learned marketable skills which placed them on the path to economic self-sufficiency. Deborah Berry-Toon, Exec. Director of PSS explains that the HOW program is more than just a job-skills program. “The Higher Opportunities for Women program offers participants the opportunity to gain the skills and confidence to compete in today’s job market, and that in turn, helps put food on the table, pay the rent, and ultimately turn around the prospects for the entire family. PSS is in the business of changing lives. Giving our participants the tools necessary to become economically self-sufficient makes families stable and helps the entire community.” PSS’s “Higher Opportunities for Women” program launches on February 3rd.

WASHINGTON TWP. – Warren County Community College is No. 1 in NJ, and 44th in the nation in a special report recently released by Community College Week, signifying the fastest growing community colleges in the U.S. The report is based on 2014 figures for “headcount”. WCCC was named in the Enrollments Under 2,500 category. In the past 10 years, overall enrollment at the college has more than doubled. In addition, WCCC owns one of the highest graduation rates for community college students in the state. “We really take pride in offering programs and degrees that are important in our community,” said Dr. Will Austin, President of the college. “Being recognized as No. 1 in NJ and 44th in the nation, while also having high graduation rates and the lowest tuition in the state (including fees), is an all-around winner for the people of our county. All these successes add up to job growth and community commitment.” WCCC certainly has grown in other ways: it has completed two major expansion projects and a library expansion was completed, numerous new and very successful programs were added such as Nursing and the VIPER program (Veterans in Pursuit of Educational Readiness), which has gained national attention for its ability to let veterans seamlessly gain their associates degrees. "When President Obama recently called for free tuition for community college students, he was saying something that we at WCCC already knew,” said Peter Schmidt, Chair of the college’s Board of Trustees. “That students of all kinds, both recent high school graduates as well as those people whose lives took a different direction after high school, are seeing the importance of gaining new expertise, developing or fine-tuning new skills, and being in an environment that enriches one's life in so many different ways. The college will continue to grow so long as it meets the needs of the people whom we serve in Warren County." FMI about WCCC visit www.warren.edu or call 908-835-9222.
