Q. Tell me about your prac-tice?

A. I am a neurosurgeon whospecializes in minimally invasiveendoscopic spine surgery at Ex-ecutive Spine Surgery in Hack-ettstown, NJ. I completed twofellowships in complex spinesurgery at Stanford University inCalifornia and interventional andminimally invasive spine surger y

at Semmes-Murphey Neurologicand Spine Institute in Ten-nessee. I focus on treatment ofspinal disorders through pain in-

jections and minimally invasivespine surgery.

Q. What is minimally invasivespine surgery?

A. It is spine surgery with askin incision less than 1-inch,but it is more than just a smallincision. The surgery is donethrough a tube in between backmuscles to decrease muscle

damage and weakness causedby muscle retraction. Do notconfuse minimally invasive sur-gery with the term micro-surgery. Microsurgery onlyrefers to the use of a micro-scope not the size of the inci-sion or the amount of muscledamage.

Q. How is endoscopic laserspine surgery different thanminimally invasive surgery?

A. Endoscopic spine surgery

Q. What types of conditionscan endoscopic spine surgerytreat?

A. Treatment is effective forconditions that cause back pain,leg pain, numbness and weak-ness, such as arthritis, bonespurs, bulging discs, stenosis,

herniated disc, facet joint dis-ease, sciatica, scoliosis,spondylolisthesis (slippedspine), instability and others.

Q. What are the surgeryoptions?

A. Endoscopic Rhizotomytreats back and leg pain originat-

ing fromfacet

joints andmedialbranchnerves.The me-dialbranchnerves arefound andcut

through the endoscope. Patientsusually have almost immediatepain relief lasting for years. Ra-diofrequency ablation (RFA) onlydamages the nerve and usuallyprovides pain relief for six tonine months. Recovery timeranges from one to three weeks.

Endoscopic Discectomytreats back and leg pain result-ing fromherniatedor torndiscspinchingthe legnervescausingsciatica.The discis foundand removed through the endo-scope, providing quick pain re-

lief. Recovery timeranges from two to 6weeks.

Endoscopic Fusiontreats degenerative diskdisease, spondylolysis(pars fracture), spondy-lolithesis and instability

that cause back pain.The disk is removedthrough the endoscope andspinal endplates are preparedfor fusion under direct visualiza-tion.

Endoscopic fusion is doneunder general anesthetic withnerve monitoring to facilitate in-sertion of a cage and spinal in-strumentation. Recovery timeranges from one to threemonths.

Q. Why can you help peopleothers say they cannot?

A. Traditional surgery is lim-ited because the surgeon re-quires direct vision of thepathology with their eye or mi-croscope. The endoscope cam-era visualizes areas that are notusually accessible, through fora-men and around corners. Thisgreater visualization combinedwith less damage and surgicalrisk increases the spectrum ofpathology that can be treatedsafely. This allows treatment of

spinal disorders others say theycannot treat. This happenedmany years ago in orthopedicswith introduction of endoscopeto knee surgery. Today no onedoubts the incredible benefits ofendoscopy of the knee. We areseeing this happen with spinesurgery.

Q. Can you help everyone?A. Not everyone can be

helped or will be satisfied. Thisis still spine surgery. I do sin-cerely believe that in those that

are not improved, the negativeconse-quencesof theopen tech-niques areat leastavoided.Endo-scopicspine sur-gery is the next advance in thetreatment of spinal disorders.

Q. Why doesnt ever yone dothis surgery?

A. These procedures requirea unique combination of skillsthat take time to acquire; it is ahybrid procedure that falls in be-tween interventional pain andminimally invasive spine sur-gery. They are cutting-edge tech-niques. I believe that with timethese procedures will replacemost open surgeries of thespine similar to orthopedic, urol-

ogy, general and gynecologicalsurgery. Endoscopic spine sur-gery is the future.

is state-of-the-art minimally inva-sive spine surgery. A microvideo camera is insertedthrough a small incision to thedamaged area of the spine. Thecamera projects the imagesonto a video screen so the sur-geon can easily visualize thepathology. Tiny instruments areinserted through the camera toremove herniated disks, fixarthritis or fuse the spine underdirect visualization. The mediaoften emphasizes lasers butthey are only one of the manyendoscopic instruments.

Q. Why is endoscopic spinesurgery better than traditionalsurgery?

A. Traditional surgery is moredestructive in its approach tothe spine for the problem beingtreated. The larger the incisionthe more collateral tissue dam-age and consequential scar tis-sue that forms. This scar tissuemay result in future dif ficulties.

Endoscopic spine surgery isextremely minimally invasive,even for minimally invasivespine surgery. The incision isvery small (the size of a finger-nail) and there is minimal dam-age to blood vessels, muscle,ligaments and bone producingvery little blood loss. No generalanesthesia is required decreas-ing medical risks and improvingaccess to surgery for high-riskpatients. These benefits resultin less post-operative pain andquicker recovery.

Although they may be different ages,

play for different hockey programs,

and study under different goalie

coaches.a group of goalies worked

together for one goal: to help victims of

Super Storm Sandy. The idea of one goalie

quickly grew into a concerted effort by 35

goalies. That idea was to collect pledges for

each save made and to donate all proceeds

to the American Red Cross, specifically forthe benefit of Super Storm Sandy victims.

One local goalie that participated was

Katie DeSa, 8 years old, of Succasunna.

Katie currently is a goalie for the NJ

Colonials hockey program. Katie collected

pledges for each save made during the

Silver Sticks tournament in which she

played over the Thanksgiving weekend and

raised $800! Total money raised by the 35

goalies was over $23,000. Way to go

On Sunday, February 10th, the soundof Jazz music and the smell of pan-cakes will fill the air at the Stanhope

United Methodist Church, #2 Route 183 inNetcong. Though its Mardi Gras Breakfast

will certainly be upbeat, the cause behind itis a serious one. The breakfast is being heldto raise funds for Hurricane Sandy ReliefEfforts.There will be two breakfast servings thatday: 8:00am 9:30:am and 10:30am 11:30am in the churchs Fellowship Hall.During the breakfast, there will be live andrecorded Jazz music. The churchs 9:30amworship service will also feature Jazz musicand all are welcomed to attend.

A freewill donation will be taken for thebreakfast. The churchs United Methodist

Mens group is supplying the items for thebreakfast so that 100% of the money raisedwill go to Sandy Relief.

"Many of us in the Northern New Jerseyarea were affected or severely inconve-nienced by the devastation caused byHurricane Sandy. The Stanhope UnitedMethodist Men decided we wanted to dosomething to help with the relief efforts. Wethought our Mardi Gras Jazz PancakeBreakfast and Worship Service with JazzMusic might be a great way to bring ourlocal church and our community together as

we raise funds to benefit our neighbors inour state who suffered even greater devasta-tion," said Scott Lefurge of Andover, presi-dent of the churchs United Methodist

Mens group.A saxophonist, Lefurge and guests will

be performing a variety of Jazz pieces dur-ing the breakfast and worship service.

The Mardi Gras theme goes with the tra-dition of feasting for the three days before

the start of Lent which, in the Christianfaith, is a time of fasting or giving up some-thing.

In this case, those that come to the break-fast will not only enjoy good food andmusic, but by their donations, will be help-ing fellow New Jerseyans who are literallyrebuilding their lives. Rev. Tom Kinter,pastor of the church, talked about the reliefeffort organized by the Greater New JerseyAnnual Conference of the United MethodistChurch.

Our goal is to rebuild 300 houses of the

elderly and low income [residents], hesaid.

Kinter noted conference disaster reliefteams went immediately into action access-ing the need . Among those homes andbuildings damaged were several UnitedMethodist churches and parsonages.

Teams will work in the clean-up processand rebuilding.

Kinter said that conference anticipates45,000 United Methodist volunteers fromNew Jersey and across the nation helping inthe [recovery] effort over a three-year peri-

od.We know this will be a long-tern proj-

ect, he said.

At times, the sport of ice hockey

moves at such a frenetic pace that

it's difficult for even the most eagle-

eyed, knowledgeable fan in attendance or

watching on television to see at first glancejust how a play that ultimately turned into a

goal happened.

That is part of the sport that is so intrigu-

ing, knowing that a team can be in control

of the game one second and just as quickly

the tables are turned and the momentum has

shifted to the other side.

Yes, hockey can be rough and tough,

that's part of the sport as well and it takes a

group of players, skilled on the ice in their

own way, for a team to achieve long-term

success.

Sure, the player who can score eye-open-ing goals or the goalie who can make saves

with cat-like reflexes many times garner the

headlines in te newspaper, but hockey is

very much a sport where those athlete's on

the roster, along with the coaching staff,

must be united in order for their goals to be

achieved.

A Look At Roxbury High School HockeyThat's why captains play such a vital role

on a hockey squad and it's no different for

the Roxbury High School hockey program.

Chad Fennelly, James Schultz and Anthony

Zaragoza have earned the respect of their

teammates to the point where they haveearned the duty and all of the responsibili-

ties of team captains for the Gaels this win-

ter.

Roxbury head coach Jonathan Benbow

feels that the student-athletes within the

program made the right choice when pick-

ing Fennelley and Schultz, both seniors, and

Zaragoza, a junior.

Actually, all three of the captains were

unanimously selected by their peers over

the past two seasons to serve as captains,''

Benbow said. However all three possessthe qualities I would look for in a captain.

Although all three show it differently, all

three are natural leaders, role models on and

off the ice and all three are selfless.

All three captains are in the top ten for

scoring on the team (through December)

and all three are key members of our special

teams units.''

From the beginning of practice to this

point of the season, Benbow has been

pleased with the way in which Fennelly,

Schultz and Zaragoza carry themselves intheir very important leadership capacity.

The biggest improvements I have seen

has been in their leadership in the locker

room,'' Benbow said. They have helped us

to stay focused and have remained calming

presences in the locker room.''

The captains demonstrate to their team-mates the proper way to approach the sport

both through their words and their actions.

Amongst other things, Benbow feels that

Fennelly, Schultz and Zaragoza prove that

being unselfish can help the team in the

long run.

I think all three captains put the team

before themselves and in that way they nat-

urally make those around them better,''

Benbow said. Also, all three have made

their offensive contributions to the team by

moving the puck and looking for assistsrather than goals.''

The Gaels are having a very strong sea-

son, a highlight in the early going occurred

on December 30, when they captured a

championship at the Bridgewater Holiday

Tournament. Several players have con-

tributed to Roxbury's success thus far.

Defensemen Ryan Strapp (junior) and

Cole Skelly (sophomore) have been instru-

mental in our success along with sophomore

forwards Zack Mazzarisi and Cory

Chaplin,'' Benbow said.

Early morning on Sunday, December 9th, twenty-one

middle and high school students from the Roxbury

Township School's Band Program, loaded a bus with

members of their families to travel to New York City.

Although their destination was The Rink at RockefellerCenter, this was no ordinary holiday tour trip. While many

tourists visit this site to admire the towering, lighted

Christmas tree and do a little holiday shopping, the

Roxbury travelers had a different purpose for sojourning in

this location. What then drew these young instrumentalists

to take the hour-long ride to Rockefeller Plaza?

At this very spot, 39 years ago, a tradition was inaugu-

rated, by the congregation of a group of musicians playing

popular Christmas carols for the enjoyment of onlookers

who had come to view the tree at Rockefeller Center. What

made this event particularly special, was that the ensemble

was exclusively made up of tuba, sousaphone, euphonium,and baritone players. This event was, and remains open to

all those who play an instrument in the tuba family irrespec-

tive of their experience or playing level. Thus began the

phenomenon now known as TUBA CHRISTMAS.

For the third year in a row, Roxbury students, with their

brass instruments in-hand, participated in this impromptu

concert. The trip, attended by the students, along with par-

ents, siblings, grandparents and others, was run and organ-

ized exclusively by band parents. This year, the Roxbury

group was comprised of fifteen high school Marching Band

members, six middle school students, and one band parent.

Together with about 440 other musicians, which madeup the 2012 Rockefeller Center Tuba Christmas ensemble,

Roxbury Band Students Attend 39th Annual Tuba Christmas

the Roxbury participants spent about 2 hours rehearsing

in the tunnels beneath Radio City Music Hall prior to gath-

ering on the ice in the plaza above to play before a packed

crowd of spectators. Performers wore festive holiday attire,

including Tuba Christmas pom-pom knit hats and decorat-

ed their instruments with holiday lights, tinsel, and ribbons.

The mellow, rich tones of the bass instruments blended joy-

ously with the caroling voices.

Since that day in 1974, Tuba Christmas has become anannual event, not only in New York City, but all over the

United States including Alaska and Hawaii, as well as

worldwide! Musicians and tourists alike look forward to

this opportunity to share some holiday spirit and spread

good cheer with familiar Christmas tunes.

Band Program in Roxbury Township, New Jersey can be

There was a time

before machines,

when all lace was

made by hand. The roman-

tic addition to a wedding

dress, the frilly accent to a

collar or handkerchief or

even jewelry, handmade

lace was an art. A day to

demonstrate that lost art

and to pass it on, thats what

you might say Lace Day is

all about. Held on February

2nd and 3rd (snow date

February 9th) at the meeting

hall in Olde Lafayette

Lace DayVillage, Lafayette, the event

is sponsored by the Lost Art

Lacers, a group dedicated to

the art of making lace.

Among those lacers demon-

strating the art will be

award-winning lacer,

Stanhope resident Dottie

Wolfe.

Aptly scheduled just

before romantic Valentines

Day, Lace Day weekend

allows people to see and

learn about making hand-

made lace. Events are open

to both adults and children.

On February 2nd, the

event is open from 9am 4pm. Theres lace making

supplies, lace making

demonstrations and Try

Me Table, and lace

exhibits. Also, theres a lace

making class for children

from 1 3pm (pre-registra-

tion is required). The chil-

dren will make a bracelet or

a motif or a bookmark

The next day, the event

runs 9am 4pm with adultworkshops/classes. Pre-

registration is required.

The Lost Art Lacers is a

not-for-profit group of

women and a few men who

enjoy the art of lacemaking

and also want to keep lace-

making alive in its many

forms. We meet once a

month on the fourth Friday

of the month for a business

meeting and once a monthfor a social meeting of mak-

ing lace from September to

May. In the summer

months of June, July and

August, we participate in

demonstrations at historic

sites in the Northern New

Jersey area, shared its

Membership Chairperson,

Clara Eastby of Branchville.

Eastby has been making

lace for 22 years.The purpose of Lace

Day is two- fold: It gives

local lacers the opportunity

to purchase supplies and

browse the lace suppliers

wares and take classes and

also introduces the public to

the art of lacemaking as it

was done before machines,

Eastby said.

Stanhope resident, Dottie

Wolfe, will be among the

Lost Art Lacers on hand for

the event. A lacemaker for

over 40 years, Wolfe won

seven ribbons for her lace at

this years New Jersey State

Fair.

I always have my tat-

ting with me, and will hap-

pily demonstrate and teach.

All of us bring finished

projects or work in progress

to exhibit. We have lots of

lacemaking supplies for

sale, and lots of demonstra-

tions - anyone who would

like to try their hand at vari-

ous lace techniques is wel-

come to try, she said.Eastby and Wolfe noted

the variety of things that can

be made with lace. Eastby

has used her handmade lace

for clothing accessories

such as earrings, shawls,

scarfs, handkerchiefs, a

wedding handkerchief and

garter for her niece and

household items such as

doilies, and motifs for fram-

ing. Wolfe shared herfavorite thing to make from

lace.

I make a lot of jewelry,

because a girl can never

have too much! she said.

When asked what lace-

making means to them,

Eastby shared,

Lacemaking for me is

relaxing, an escape which

allows me to forget about

any problems and it is a cre-ative process resulting in a

useful item to show for all

my effort.

I've made a lot of

friends who like the same

things that I like. It keeps

my hands busy, and, since

my lace is portable, I take it

out and it makes a great

conversation starter, Wolfe

shared.

The last reigning king of Hawaii loved technology and

had futuristic plans for his Kingdom. In 1881,TheMerrie Monarch - Hawaiis King David Kalakaua

and his Attorney General set off to meet with Thomas

Edison in Menlo Park, NJ during his around the world tour

in 1881. Thomas Edison gave the king a demonstration of

electricity at his legendry electric powered laboratory in

Menlo Park.

King Kalakaua in 1881 even conceived of the possibili-

ties of geothermal energy that could power this electricity to

his Island nation. He and Thomas Edison conversed about

using the energy from Hawaii's volcanoes to produce elec-

tricity to light Hawaii's capital, and transmit this power via

submarine cable to the other islands.Five years later in 1886, Edison sent an engineer from

the Thomas Edison Company to Hawaii and Iolani Palace

was electrified. Ironically, the last monarchy in the US ter-

ritories - the Iolani Palace had electricity four years before

the White House. This was an extravagant endeavor,

because the light system actually ended up costing as much

as the entire palace building. Soon afterwards the streets of

Honolulu were lit by electricity. It was the electrification of

the King's Palace that ushered in the formation of the

Hawaiian Electric Company.

King David Kalakauas use of Edisons latest technolo-

gies was a passion of his even in his final days of life. Four

days before his death on January 20, 1891, Kalakaua

recorded his final words on an Edison wax cylinder phono-graph/recorder while lying on his death bed. This was done

with the assistance of a representative from the Thomas

Edison Company at the Palace Hotel in San Francisco. The

wax cylinder was sent back to Honolulu. It was given to

James Pratt. Pratt was the only person that owned a record-

ing device in the kingdom at the time. He later donated this

historical recording to Hawaii's Bishop Museum in 1918.

Today we can see an example of King Kalakauas vision

of geothermal energy at the Thomas Edisons Glenmont

Estate in West Orange, New Jersey. It has a thermal heating

and cooling system and a behind-the-scene tour of this sys-

tem is given during special events by appointment. It is partof our National Park Service and is a national treasure and

part of our modern heritage located here in New Jersey.

You can still see the exact model wax cylinder phono-

graph-recorder that the last King of Hawaii used in his final

days orchestrated by Hawaii's extraordinary inventive advi-

sor to the king -Thomas Alva Edison.

The week before Christmas, Habitat

for Humanity International launched

its first-ever fleet of Mobile

Response Units from Atlanta. The 24 vans

were donated by Chevrolet and speciallyoutfitted with tools and supplies donated by

Lowes and the Robert Bosch Tool

Corporation. Their destination? Habitat

affiliates working in New York and New

Jersey to rebuild communities affected by

Superstorm Sandy.

After picking up the donated supplies,

over 70 volunteers set out for the metropol-

itan area. Habitat CEO, Jonathan Reckford,

visited several homes on Staten Island that

are being gutted for rebuilding. Volunteers

from Habitat and local nonprofit, All Hands,hauled out armloads of rotten floor planks

and moldy drywall at the Fox Beach Avenue

home of Alex Dionne. Its painful to hear

what people have gone through, Reckford

said, walking through the Fox Beach

Avenue area where three people died at the

height of Superstorm Sandy. No matter

how much you see on the news, theres

nothing like being here and seeing it for

yourself.

This special outreach effort was reported

on NBCs morning show recently and manyof the NBC staff, including Al Roker, joined

the Habitat volunteers to help make a differ-

ence.

Right after the storm, the local Habitat

affiliate, Morris Habitat, pitched in by col-

lecting several cargo trucks full of itemsranging from non-perishable food to cloth-

ing and blankets. These items were sent

directly to nonprofits helping in the storm

ravaged area. . According to Blair Bravo,

Morris Habitats Executive Director, to

date almost $18,000 was raised locally

through donations. These funds went

directly to the rebuilding efforts.

Currently, Morris Habitat for Humanity

is sharing a 15 passenger van (donated by

GM) with the Paterson affiliate to transport

volunteers to the affected areas for therebuilding efforts.

Morris Habitat is also keeping a list of

people interested in working on storm-

affected homes and they will keep these

people updated as to the progress of the

projects involving Morris Habitat.

There is still so much to be done! If you

want to be part of the rebuilding effort, you

can make a financial donation directly by

accessing https://www.habitat.org..

Volunteers are always needed. For more

information, and to find out when the nextMorris Habitat volunteer orientation is

scheduled, go to the website at www.mor-

rishabitat.org Volunteer opportunities and

orientations are listed right on the home

There was a time when an apple was

the last place you would look to

experiment with new flavors in the

produce section. But today, there are nearly

100 commercial varieties to choose from,

each with unique characteristics to tickle

your taste buds.

One new variety called Opal is grown in

Washington and offers a complex flavor

that starts sweet and finishes with a slight

tang. Vibrantly yellow and super crunchy,

these apples are perfect for fresh salads and

side dishes. And, unlike many types of

apples, Opals naturally resist oxidation after

cutting, which keeps them fresh and deli-

cious for a lunch prepared before you head

out for work, or snacking through the day.

An added benefit is that when you buy

Opal apples, you are helping to fund the

Youth Make a Difference Initiative grants,

which provide funding for youth programs

serving communities across the United

States.

For a lunch with a crunch, try adding

apples in fun and delicious ways:

Dip apple slices in your favorite nut

butter.

Add thin slices of apple to your deli

meat sandwich, or layer them with PB and J

on raisin bread.

Make your own cracker stackers with

whole grain crackers, your favorite cheese,

smoked turkey, and apple slices.

Add apples to a delicious salad, such as

this spinach and apple salad with dried cher-

ries, which is filled with fiber, vitamin C,

vitamin K, iron and antioxidants.

application for the Youth Make a Difference

Initiative.

One of the best ways to get kids to eat

healthier food is to let them make it

themselves. And these snack

recipes using Florida blueberries and straw-

berries are so good and so easy you

may have a hard time getting the kids out of

the kitchen.

You can get really creative with straw-

berries and blueberries, said Justin

Timineri, Executive Chef and Culinary

Ambassador, Florida Department ofAgriculture and Consumer Services. They

can be tossed into salads or yogurt, marinat-

ed in teriyaki sauce and served with grilled

meats, or turned into delicious snacks like

these.

Not only do they taste good, theyre

good for you. Blueberries are good for your

eyes and memory, and they have antioxi-

dants, which may prevent some types of

cancer. Strawberries have vitamin C and

fiber, which is good for your digestive sys-

tem and helps you feel full.

these, visit http://bit.ly/floridaberries.
