Roxbury Fire Department

Meet our professional volunteers, Part one

Meet the Roxbury Fire and EMS-Emergency Medical Services Certified Professionals Assisting the Township in a Volunteer Capacity

By Theresa Boattini-Vaia unning to the scene of an emergency in 80 pounds of gear is without doubt, an act that requires nothing short of adoration. Meet the Roxbury Fire and EMSEmergency Medical Services - certified professionals assisting the township in a volunteer capacity. The full picture is even more amazing. In 2010, the Fire Department answered over 800 alarms, the EMS arrived at over 1900 calls. Fire Dept Chief Craig Begraft tells how he gets revved going into a burning building, however, its not for everyone. Some feel more called to hook up and manage the pumpers, or to drive the rescue trucks through heavy traffic. All roles are important. With 3 companies in varied locations throughout Roxbury Township - Landing, Succasunna, and Berkshire Valley - the firehouses are equipped with a total of 3 rescue trucks, 5

engines (pumpers), 2 ladder trucks, 1 mini pumper, 1 tender(tanker) that carriers 2500 gallons of water, 5 ambulances, and a 1917 Model T Fire Engine. Additionally, they have the necessary power craft to manage incidents that involve the lakes and rivers that are part of the township topography. Roxbury Fire and EMS are trained and accredited though in-house and county courses, drills, and first-hand experience. All responders rush any time, any day, from their everyday lives and jobs with no pay, no reward other than personal, and forget about the glory. Its to help others and to give back, says Chief Begraft. We are 24 hours a day, 7 days a week including holidays. The Responders carry a pager and calls are dispatched from the Morris County Dispatch Center, then a text follows. Most volunteers live within 10 miles of the community and

may serve in more than one municipality. The town has a junior service as well, ages 16-18, and membership ages span to over 80. The township covers the workmens compensation and life insurance. The training and preparation these women and men undertake leaves one in awe. Fire Training/Fire Fighter 1 involves 180 hours of class room and hands on training at the Morris County Fire Academy on West Hanover Avenue under Chief Jack Alderton, and then significant in-house training on the path to becoming a certified fireman/woman. All is free of charge to the participant, all is intense. Learning in groups and individually, members are aggressively encouraged to continue on beyond the basics. If they pay the price and put in the work, they may discover a career fit. A number have moved to salaried jobs as firefighters. continued on page 4

Roxbury Fire Department...

continued from front page After Fire I is Fire II and III, safety and survival, engine/pumping, truck/ladder, and how about confined space. Many Fire Department and EMS classes are instructed in house such as CPR, the most uncommon is Ice Rescue. The 4th of July holiday weekend is always a busy one. Grilling, fireworks, and travel increase the odds of an incident, and any accident with injury receives a response from both Fire and EM. Most calls are due to faulty smoke and carbon monoxide detectors and with a safety first mindset, one of the companies makes the call; members are all too familiar with a house fire, a health emergency, or maybe a brush fire. When the weather is over 80 degrees, the gear can wear you down quickly. You can come home having lost 10 pounds, tells the voice of experienced, Chief Begraft. Thanks to the rehab truck, there is respite from the hard conditions. It is essentially a room with heat or air conditioning, and a stock of fluids. In a situation, fire trucks will block the scene, protect the personnel, and provide the lighting, jaws of life, saws, foam, and self contained breathing apparatus, SCBA. If there is a toxic substance, more advanced equipment will be called in from the County hazmat team or sometimes Picattiny. Away from the station, Chief Craig Begraft is a grandfather and now employed by the Township of Roxbury, he formerly had a career with Exxon. Aside from the excitement, there are always the incident reports and other paperwork, the circumstances must be recorded that detail the description of the call, what was found upon arrival, and what was done. Other areas of service include education and providing support to the departments in surrounding towns. Drills at Horseshoe Lake and Lake Hopatcong are regularly held for skill building with the pumpers, the jaws-oflife, and the cascade system which refills the SCBA. Filling out the volunteers obligations is assistance to law enforcement. Sustained by fundraisers, tricky tray events handled by the Ladies Auxiliary, and donations, and 50/50, Stations 2 & 3 firehouses are maintained by the Township. Station 1 on Main St. Succasunna is owned and maintained by the members. It all began there in 1917. How many are better off since, we will never know for sure. Next month look for Part 2 of this series on the Roxbury Fire Department.

n July 30th 2011 we will be hosting our 2nd Annual Automotive Magic Customer Appreciation Party celebrating our 8th year in the business. This year we are very happy to be a part of a nationwide program called "Wheels to Prosper." This program awards a fully serviced car to a worthy and deserving person chosen from the local community. Recommendations are taken for individuals that are locally active in community service and then one lucky individual is chosen from those suggestions. They receive a late model car that has been fully inspected and repaired as needed. Our first giveaway will take place at our annual customer appreciation day on July 30th, 2011. We'll be doing clambakes, horseshoe tosses, games, tons of food, live music and many more fun activities down at our shop. See you there!

Did you know that on average most vehicles will lose up to 15% of their refrigerant gas each year? Much of this loss occurs when your AC system has not been used for extended periods of time, such as over the winter. So if your automobile does NOT feel cold enough, then it may need some routine maintenance, such as recharging the refrigerant, normally a very simple and easy item to take care of. Give us a call to set up a time and well be happy to take a look.

Get A Certified Pre-Owned Cat

by Elsie Walker ou may have seen ads on TV for certified preowned cars; now, you can get a certified pre-owned cat! During July, Noahs Ark Animal Welfare Association, Inc., 1915 Route 46 West, Ledgewood, is running a certified pre-owned cat program. The usual adoption fee for an adult cat is $125, while a kitten would cost $200. For July, the adoption fee for all cats is $75. Our adoption fees do not cover the cost of care, spay and neuter, vaccinations, microchip, deworming and flea/tick treatments, at regular price, so this is a great deal. For us, it isn't about the money, but placing more cats so we can take in others that need us, said Todd Cramer, executive director of Noahs Ark. This unique adoption promotion was originally done by the Michigan Humane Society. Cats are most at risk of euthanasia in this country, so we have to get creative when working to save more of them, said Cramer. Cramer shared that cats are relatively low maintenance; they are independent. Also, cats are quite entertaining and make great companions. Also, Cramer noted that with a cat, ones gets the benefits of a dog without [the pet] needing to be walked. Also it has been proven that pets have a calming influence and lower our blood pressure. Among the pre-owned cats available are Mary and Toby. Mary is one year nine months old. She arrived at Noahs Ark on March 19th. Cramer describes Mary as sweet and

loving. She loves to be held and gets along well with other cats. Give her an ear scratch and a treat and she will be yours forever. Shes a very interactive and social cat, he said. Toby is a four and a half year old orange domestic short hair. Hes super laid-back and an all-around pal. He loves to eat, but we prefer to think of him as big-boned , said Cramer. A video of Toby can be seen by clicking under his picture at: http://www.noahsarknj.org/?page_id=127 So far this year, we have adopted[out]75 more cats than last year - January through July 6th. By making some operational changes, making the adoption experience pleasant,

and promoting our cats, such as with the Certified PreOwned Cats special, we are saving more lives. Now we need the community to join us in our mission by adopting a pet and donating to our cause, so we can continue to achieve such wonderful outcomes for the animals, Cramer said. For more information on Noahs Ark, visit its website at: http://www.noahsarknj.org/ or call (973) 347-0378. Also, on its site, is a way for people to show off their rescued pets by entering Noahs Arks Cuddliest Critters Pet Photo Contest.

"Modern life moves fast" comments front man Geoff Tate about the new album. "Plug into the rhythm of the now

with Dedicated to Chaos. It's a clash and slash of musical experimentation anchored by the pulse of digital code," adding a suggestion to listeners to "Enjoy - headphones are a must." It's now 2011.

n Italy, panini refers to any kind of sandwich but here, its all about the cheese. Bursting with cheese and flavorful ingredients, the panino is a popular lunchtime favorite at delis and cafes across America. However, its easy to enjoy a mouthwatering panino at home any day of the week by using premium cheeses and experimenting with different ingredients. Tiffany Collins, chef and author of 200 Best Panini Recipes, suggests making small twists on classic sandwiches and using natural, not processed, cheese. The panino is all about the cheese its what holds the sandwich together. I only use 100 percent natural, real cheese like Sargento Sharp Cheddar, Baby Swiss and the new Natural Blends Cheddar Mozzarella, Chef Collins said. The flavor profile and variety of Sargento cheeses is amazing, so you can find the perfect combination of ingredients to suit your own personal tastes, like in my Island Pineapple

Chicken Panini or Veggie Stuffed Grilled Cheese Panini. Panini Tips: Breads with a firmer texture hold up better (e.g. ciabatta). If the bread is softer, you can brush a little bit of olive oil on the outside of a panino before grilling to give it a crisper texture. When making a breakfast panino, try sauting the vegetables (e.g., green peppers, baby spinach) and then use the same pan to cook the eggs so the eggs will pick up some extra flavor. Cut a panino with a sharp knife that has a straight edge. Serrated knives can catch on the melted ingredients, pulling them out of the sandwich. To make your vegetables and fruit stay crisp and crunchy, add them to your panino after grilling. Visit www.Sargento.com for more product information and recipes. continued on page 18

Simple Summer Party Plans

ummer is the ideal time to have friends and family over for casual get-togethers that are centered on the grill and outdoor dining. Add some zip to your summer party with a few tips and a simple recipe that are sure to please your guests. Set the Mood Get the party started right with some great music. Bring the speakers outside and start your playlist about 20 minutes before anyone is expected to arrive. That way, you get into the swing of things early and youre ready for any early birds. Creative Summer Apps Set out some no-fuss appetizers that add some fun to the menu. Make festive veggie shooters by putting some of your favorite dip into shot glasses along with a few colorful veggie strips. Keeping it Cool Dress up a pitcher of ice water and add flavor by adding slices of lemon, orange or even cucumber to the water. Keep some slices on ice for extra garnish on the glasses. The Main Event Nothing beats the taste

of food hot off the grill. Whether youre cooking beef, chicken, seafood or veggies, you can make them even more delicious with marinades. Adding a flavorful marinade kicks it up a notch when youre grilling meats at home, said chef and entertaining expert Jamie Gwen. Start with a basic sauce and layer flavors to suit your familys taste. Many of the tastiest grilled dishes can be whipped up using just a few ingredients. A versatile sauce like Heinz 57 Sauce, an American classic thats celebrating its 100th anniversary this year, is a great way to add zest and flavor to meats, veggies and even seafood, according to Gwen. For a marinade, she recommends covering your meat in an air-tight container and refrigerating for at least half an hour so it has time to absorb the flavors completely before hitting the grill. This recipe for marinated grilled shrimp, using Heinz 57 Sauce, gives a tangy new twist to a classic favorite. If you want to

serve it in appetizer portions, use 6-inch skewers. Thread 2 shrimp on each skewer and grill as directed. For more delicious party recipes, visit www.heinz57.com. Marinated Grilled Shrimp Prep Time: 5 minutes, plus 1 hour for marinating Cook Time: 7 minutes 1/4 cup Heinz 57 Sauce 1 cup dry white wine 1 cup extra virgin olive oil 1/4 cup freshly squeezed lemon juice 3/4 cup fresh basil leaves, chopped (or 1/4 cup dried basil) 24 raw, peeled and deveined jumbo shrimp In a medium bowl, whisk together sauce, wine, oil, lemon juice and basil until well mixed. Pour into resealable plastic food storage bag. Add shrimp and seal tightly, turning until well coated. Allow to marinate in refrigerator for up to one hour, turning occasionally.

Preheat grill to medium heat. Remove shrimp from refrigerator, reserving the marinade and discarding the bag. Thread shrimp onto 4 skewers and grill for 4 to 7 minutes or until cooked through, turning often and basting with reserved marinade during last 3 minutes of grilling. For additional recipes and preparation tips, visit www.heinz57.com.

The Thomas Edison Paper Project A Vast Virtual Excpedition To Discover The wizard of Menlo Park
collection. Imagine if someone were to take all the correspondence and mail off your desk and place them into a storage container based on the time period they were collected. What kind of filing system would this be? Advertising circulars and utility bills would be mixed in with very personal letters. Decades later, someone would have to make sense of this collection where the only relationship is that they shared a common owner. This has made it a hard task to archive since many articles are handwritten and deciphering them into a proper reference category can be a librarians nightmare. However, to a document archeologist this can be a very interesting discovery. They get to know the man Thomas Edison in a virtual open and personal way. After all, you may be the first set of eyes in over a hundred years to view both these great and trivial details. Stuck in between those jotted lab notes may be the lab sundry bills that Edison was notoriously delinquent in paying. So who are these document archeologists, leading this trek to an indoor expedition that cuts pathways to the illustrious mind of the Wizard of Menlo Park? They are a team of editors/scholars at Rutgers, State University of New Jersey that forms the Thomas A. Edison Papers Project team. It is one of the most ambitious editing projects ever undertaken by an American university. It has spanned decades and includes 5 million pages of documents. This project has scanned these documents into an electronic repository to be viewed by the virtual world. Now the chief goal of the Edison Papers team is producing a fifteen-volume book edition of transcribed and interpreted documents. It will provide an overview of Edison's life and career but also significant resources for understanding the development of all his pioneering technology. It will also cover relative emerging technology too. It is through the great organization of the Edison Papers Project, writers are able to provide inspiring books, and also offer up tantalizing trivia. For instance - Did you know that Edisons 1875 patented electric pen was retrofitted in the 1890s as the first electric tattoo pen? Trivia facts such as these can only come from great document expedition projects. If you want to help champion a great Project Team on this discovery expedition, then here is the link to make a donation: http://edison.rutgers.edu/help.htm Visit The Thomas Edison Museum.

by Michele Guttenberger homas Edison may have had over 1000 patents on file with the US Patent Office, but there is a vast unreferenced mother lode of prolific notes and letters jotted down in pen and pencil from the man himself. Most of Edisons important and incidental written notes have been preserved. However, for many years the only way to view these written collections was to put in a records request to the Thomas Edison Museum in West Orange, NJ. Finding the topics written in Edisons own handwriting and likewise replies to his correspondence is a tedious journey. This research method could be a quest with limited answers. Only the few have had the privilege to view these documents in their original form. But the biggest challenge was to have them organized into a rational
