T

here are some people

who get the ultimate

rush by waking upearly and waiting in line for

some amazing door buster

deals at the stores. Although

Black Friday is one of the

hotly anticipated shopping

events for shoppers to score

momentous deals, it has also

proven a recipe for disaster.

Stampeding masses of

eager shoppers has been all

too common on Black Friday

through the years. Coupledwith anticipation of impend-

ing sales and the sheer volume

of shoppers waiting outside of

stores, mob mentality often

prevails. Its survival of the

fittest as some shoppers push,

shove and run inside of doors

to nab the must-have products

on sale.

In 2008, a sales clerk was

trampled to death by a crowd

of 2,000 people who knocked

the man to the ground at a

Wal-Mart store in Valley

Stream, NY. Later the same

day, two people were shot dead

at a Toys R Us store in

Southern California after an

argument. Many store em-ployees have tales of picking

up trampled people who

have been run over at vari-

ous retailers on Black Friday.

Although Black Friday

refers to a stores profit mar-

gin and their ability to be in

the black when tallying

end-of-year sales, the

moniker does seem to have

an ominous feel to it. Black

Friday seems to conjure upimages of something bad hap-

pening. When unruly mobs

race into stores, something bad

just may happen.

Last year, Dr. David

Michaels, the Assistant Secre-

tary for the Occupational

Make this Black Friday a safe one

Its hard to believe the holi-

day season is right around

the corner! The end of the

year is full of an assortment of

special events, which are often

filled with stress. Since chil-

dren need regular, familiar

routines, the holiday season

can be an especially trying

time.

One of the primary

complaints we hear from par-ents this time of year is that

their child cannot handle the

variety of social situations

they experience, explained

Daria OBrien, co-director of

Pompton Speech Plus in

Pompton Plains. From fam-

ily dinners, vacations, visits

to friends and parties to school

concerts and social outings,

many children cannot adjust

their social thinking and be-

haviors.

To help children and par-

ents prepare for the upcoming

holiday season, Pompton

Speech Plus has designed their

popular social skill program to

focus on these challenges.

The eight-week program

meets weekly for one hour

sessions. There are programs

available for children and

teens, ages preschool to 18.

The best gift of all isbeing able to watch your

child thrive and progress

through the most trouble-

some part of the year, added

co-director Danyela

Williams. Our program is

especially helpful for children

Thats right folks; thiscolumnist just became

50 years of age! This

means that I am a Baby

Boomer and when my kids lis-

ten to the oldies on their I-

pod, their listening to the

1970s and 1980s, my genera-

tions music. Ive lived through

the invention of: seat-belts andbaby car seats, color television,

video games, the Cuban missile

crisis, the lunar landing, push

button phones, the cell phone

and now phones with no but-

tons at all! The tearing-down of

the Berlin Wall, a 21% prime

rate, US and Russian satellite

launchings, the IBM selectricgolf ball typewriter, the VHS

tape and VCRs, silicone breast

implants, pantyhose and skate-

boards, Polaroid instant film

and video cameras, the personal

computer, zip codes, zip drives,

dialysis and chemotherapy,

Jacuzzis, post-it notes, laser

printers and the artificial heart,just to name a few milestones.

The last 50 years have seen an

evolution in technology more

than the 1000 years combined

that preceded them. I eagerly

look forward to the next 50

years of innovation and ad-

vances since I am merely just a

half century into my life.

Ive also seen some nega-

tive things as well, like Viet-

nam, thalidomide babies,nuclear proliferation, genocide

in Africa, famine, natural disas-ters on a near Biblical scale,

abortion clinics, drug lords and

their turf wars.

Financially speaking, the

wide spread use of the IRAs and

mutual funds and rapid infla-

tion causing an 85% drop in

the purchasing power of the

dollar over my 50 years of life.

The amassing of a $16 Trillion

federal deficit coupled with

record-breaking State govern-ment deficits. Ive seen the de-

struction of the family dinner

table (due to dual working par-

ents) and the advent of fast

food, i.e. McDonalds and the

drive-up get fat quick window.

Yes, a lot has happened in

the last 50 years including the

transformation of our national

manufacturing based economy

morphing into a service basedone. Ive witnessed a change to

a multi-lingual environment in

our schools and governments.

Ive witnessed a drop in our pre-

paredness educationally for our

children and a prolonged re-

duction in job opportunities for

our young graduates, both from

high school and college.

In fifty years the house I

grew-up in went from $24,000

in 1963 to $300,000 in 2008and $225,000 three years later.

The property taxes on that

house went up 3,400% or at a

compounded annual average

rate of return of 9.3% per year

for 40 years! What do our chil-

dren have to look forward to

Its almost that time of year

again when we wonder

what to get our family,

friends, and acquaintances for

the holidays. The best gift

you can give someone is

clearer vision for the New

Year. The Pearle Vision store

in Riverdale, located at 92

Route 23 North in the

Riverdale Square, next to

Rupperts Restaurant andGolds Gym, has gift certifi-

cates available for eye exams,

glasses and contacts. The gift

certificate would be greatly

appreciated because it is prac-

tical and it is a gift that they

may not necessarily purchase

for themselves.

There are many great

reasons to visit Pearle Vision

in Riverdale, which

accepts most insurance plansand flex spending accounts.

As we approach the end of

the year dont forget to use

your flexible spending, which

will expire by December 31,

2011. Another great benefit is

which provides the advan-

tages of no interest on eye-

wear purchases for six

months. They also offer

money-saving coupons in Life

and Leisure every month. Pre-

scriptions from all Ophthal-

mologist and Optometrists arewelcome.

At Pearle Vision

Riverdale, Randi Lovett and

Emma Mutz bring their com-

bined 40 years of optical ex-

perience to the community.

Both are New Jersey State li-

censed opticians. Inside the

store you will find licensed

Opticians and an educated

staff to help you select the

best frames and lens optionsto fit your needs. There is also

an in-store lab that allows

most eyeglasses to become

available the same day.

in adult and pediatric eye ex-

aminations. Dr. Tanpattana

ence Degree, with honors,

The head and neck re-

gion is amongst the

most vulnerable part of

your body. There are so many

different reasons for neck pain

and associated headaches. Ex-

amples of a few are bad posture,

awkward head positioning,

trauma, and aging; all of which

may result in misalignment of

the spine. Spinal misalign-

ments, if not managed correctly,

may over time cause premature

degenerative changes.

One of the most flexible

regions of the entire spine hap-

pens to be the neck (cervical

spine), which consists of seven

vertebrae, discs, muscles, and

ligaments.

The spinal cord runs down

the center of each vertebrae

which allows eight specific

spinal nerves to exit out the

foramen (hole or passage way)

to supply nerve function to the

shoulders, arms, and hands.

These spinal nerves are the

brains pathways to communi-

cate with the body by sending

and receiving information for

sensation, movement, and body

awareness just to name a few.

One of the most common

causes of neck pain and some-

times headaches is poor posture.

It becomes very easy to get into

bad posture habits without even

realizing it. Even an activity assimple as reading in bed can ul-

timately lead to neck pain,

headaches, and more serious

nerve injury treatments. Not to be missed, Matthew alsotrained in the McKenzie Diagnosis and treatment of the spine.Matthew believes the combination of this training andeducation in the Australian, New Zealand and Americantreatment strategies have allowed him to provide broaderrange of treatment options thereby helping more patients.

What is leptospirosis?

Leptospirosis is a

bacterial disease.

You may remember your vet-

erinarian offering an optional

vaccine for it during your

pets annual visit. Leptospiro-

sis occurs in many areas, in-

cluding New Jersey/New

York, and can affect dogs as

well as humans. In people,

the symptoms are often like

the flu and in dogs they may

just not feel well, but some-

times leptospirosis can be-

come a more severe,

life-threatening illness affect-

ing the kidney, liver, brain,

lung, and heart. While cats

can be infected, they rarely

show signs of disease.

The Leptospirosis bacte-

ria is spread through the urine

of infected animals, like squir-

rels, skunks, etc. Humans and

animals can become infected

through contact with this con-

taminated urine which can get

into water or soil and can sur-

vive there for weeks to

months. The bacteria can

enter the body through skin or

mucous membranes (eyes,

nose, or mouth), especially if

the skin is broken, like from a

cut. Drinking, swimming, or

walking through contaminated

water can also cause infection.

Therefore environments with

ponds, lakes, etc are high risk

areas.

The clinical signs of lep-

tospirosis in pets vary and can

be nonspecific. Common clin-

ical signs include fever, vomit-

ing, abdominal pain, diarrhea,

not eating, weakness, lethargy,

stiffness or muscle pain. Infec-

tions usually start with a fever

of 103-104, shivering, and

muscle tenderness. This can

progress to vomiting and dehy-

dration. Severely infected dogs

may develop kidney or liver

failure. They may be reluctant

to move due to muscle or kid-

ney pain. Animals with liver

involvement may develop

jaundice (yellowish pigmenta-

tion of the skin). These severe

infections can be fatal, but

many leptospiral infections in

dogs can also be chronic/sub-

clinical. Dogs that are chroni-

cally infected may show no

outward signs, but may still

shed the bacteria intermit-

tently in the urine for months

or years.

If you think your dog

has leptospirosis contact

your veterinarian imme-

diately and wear gloves if

you need to clean up any

urine. Leptospirosis, kid-

ney and liver failure can

be diagnosed through

blood tests. A blood sam-

ple can test for individual

serovars (strains) and the

level of antibody (titer)

against these strains. De-

pending on the level of

the titer, a positive diag-

nosis to the specific strain

can be made. Though, titers

could be negative in the first

10 days after an initial infec-

tion, so many times additional

samples must be drawn and

tested to get a positive diagno-

sis.

Luckily leptospirosis is

treatable with antibiotics but

an animal must be treated

early for the best chance of re-

covery and the

least amount of

potential organ

damage. Com-

monly dogs also

need fluid replace-

ment, and con-

trolling the

vomiting and the

problems associ-

ated with the corresponding

kidney or liver infections. A

Penicillin, typically amoxi-

cillin, is the antibiotic of

choice for treating the initial

infection. After the initial in-

fection is controlled, doxycy-

cline is often used to cure and

prevent a potential long-term

carrier state

The other good news is

that many strains of leptospiro-

sis are preventable in our pets

by getting them vaccinated

against leptospirosis. Though

the vaccine does not provide

total protection. This is be-

cause there are many strains

(types) of leptospires, and the

vaccine does not provide im-

munity against all strains. It is

important to get your pet vac-

cinated to prevent serious dis-

ease and prevent transmission

to humans.

As with any vaccine,

consult your veterinarian if

this vaccine is right for your

pet, based on their lifestyle and

places they live and visit.

Our office would like to

make you aware that,

for tax year 2012, per-

sonal exemptions and standard

deductions will rise and tax

brackets will widen due to infla-

tion. Please read further to see

which inflationary measures

may affect your return next

year:

By law, the dollar amounts

for a variety of tax provisions,

affecting virtually every tax-

payer, must be revised each year

to keep pace with inflation.

New dollar amounts affecting

2012 returns, filed by most tax-

payers in early 2013, include the

following:

The value of each personal

and dependent exemption,

available to most taxpayers, is

$3,800, up $100 from 2011.

The new standard deduction is

$11,900 for married couples fil-

ing a joint return, up $300,

$5,950 for singles and married

individuals filing separately, up

$150, and $8,700 for heads of

household, up $200. Nearly two

out of three taxpayers take the

standard deduction, rather than

itemizing deductions, such as

mortgage interest, charitable

contributions and state and

local taxes.

Tax-bracket thresholds in-

crease for each filing status. For

a married couple filing a joint

return, for example, the taxable-

income threshold separating the

15-percent bracket from the 25-

percent bracket is $70,700, up

from $69,000 in 2011.

Credits, deductions, and re-

lated phase outs.

For tax year 2012, the maxi-

mum earned income tax credit

(EITC) for low- and moderate-

income workers and working

families rises to $5,891, up from

$5,751 in 2011. The maximum

income limit for the EITC rises

to $50,270, up from $49,078 in

2011.The credit varies by fam-

ily size, filing status and other

factors, with the maximum

credit going to joint filers with

three or more qualifying chil-

dren.

The foreign earned income

deduction rises to $95,100, an

increase of $2,200 from the

maximum deduction for tax

year 2011.

income threshold at which the

Tommy is a 3 year-old

who walks into The

Kids Therapy Center

waiting room on his tip toes.

His mother is quite concerned.

She reports that Tommy

started walking at the expected

time, but has always walked on

his tiptoes. His mom reports

their family thought it was

cute in the beginning, but now

that he will be entering pre-

school, she is worried he may

get teased. She also explains

that Tommy frequently drags

his feet and trips. This makes

it difficult for him to keep up

with his friends on the play-

ground. Tommys mom asks,

Is this normal? What causes

this and can we do anything to

help him?

When a child walks on

his tiptoes once in a while it

should be considered typical

behavior and does not warrant

further evaluation. Sometimes

toe walking can represent the

childs natural curiosity for a

different type of walking. Chil-

dren may do it off and on just

to experience something dif-

ferent. They frequently receive

admiring looks from their fam-

ily at their excellent coordina-

tion and skill. Little girls who

are planning on being the next

Sugar Plum Fairy are more

likely to continue this type of

walking.

In addition, there is another

time when toe walking is con-

sidered normal. It is common

for children to walk on their

toes while taking their first

steps between the ages of 10 to

18 months. However, if toe

walking persists past this age,

the child should be evaluated.

There are many reasons chil-

dren walk on their toes. The

most common are:

Poor flexibility of the muscles

surrounding the ankles (heel

cords) can cause the child to be

more comfortable on his or her

toes. If your child has experi-

enced a sudden and rapid

growth spurt, the bones can

grow more rapidly than the

muscles causing tight or inflex-

ible muscles.

Increased muscle tone caused

by a neurological or neuromus-

cular disorder can result in toe

walking.

A poorly functioning vestibular

system. (the system that gives the

brain feedback about the position

of the body in space and its mo-

tion.) Children who have dif-

ficulty integrating the sensory

input from their environment

may walk on their toes. They

may feel more stable this way.

Children with low muscle tone

(hypotonia) may feel the need

to stabilize their body by walk-

ing on their toes. Since chil-

dren with hypotonia often

have joint laxity, they tense

the ankle muscles in order to

create stability, thus resulting

in toe walking.

Idiopathic toe walking (toe

walking of unknown origin) is di-

agnosed when the childs toe

walking is of unknown origin.

Once the root cause of

toe walking is determined by a

pediatrician or neurologist, an

evaluation by a skilled pedi-

atric physical therapist should

take place. Depending on the

cause of the toe walking each

approach for treatment can be

different, but some commonal-

ities do exist. (excluding chil-

dren with moderate to severe

neurological diagnoses and

neuromuscular diagnoses. The

treatment approach is different

for these children.) A rigorous

stretching program performed

during PT sessions and carried

over in the home/ school envi-

ronment should be imple-

mented. Strengthening

exercises that decrease muscu-

lar imbalance and facilitate the

use of the postural muscles that

flex the foot up should be per-

formed. Proprioceptive exer-

cises that retrain the brains

awareness of where the body is

in space are very useful in

treating/ preventing toe walk-

ing. Teaching the child how to

walk/run in a proper heel- toe

progression is also imperative

for success. Depending on the

The winter season is

right around the cor-

ner, soon to usher in

cold temperatures, snow and

ice for many people across the

country. There are plenty of

people who revel in the idea

of frolicking over snow-

capped hills or skating on a

frozen pond, but many others

hope winter passes them by

rather quickly.

Much of the focus each

winter is on staying warm and

surviving this often harsh sea-

son at whatever the cost. But

there are ways to survive win-

ter while helping the envi-

ronment.

Lighting: Thanks to daylight

savings time, many areas of

the country experience night-

fall around 5 p.m. during the

winter months. That means

people are more likely to turn

on artificial lighting to illumi-

nate homes and surroundings.

The International Dark-Sky

Association says that artificial

lights can waste energy and

confuse nocturnal animals. If

you must use nighttime light-

ing, select a low-wattage bulb

and point it downward. Mo-

tion sensor lights save energy

and also will turn on inter-

mittently, not enough to dis-

turb animals.

Reconsider winter traction

techniques. Before you throw

down chemical ice melt prod-

ucts, think about safer alter-

natives. Regular table salt will

melt ice and may not be as

harmful to the surrounding

environment. Sand can offer

improved traction when scat-

tered on walkways and its

nontoxic.

Select a real tree. When hol-

iday decorating, choose a real

tree. These trees are har-

vested from tree farms that re-

plenish stock as soon as trees

are felled. They can be recy-

cled into mulch, and real

trees are also biodegradable.

Keep houseplants thriving;

Houseplants serve as natural

air deodorizers and provide

fresh oxygen inside of a

home. The EPA and its Sci-

ence Advisory Board have

consistently ranked indoor air

pollution among the top five

environmental risks to public

health. Considering most

people spend the majority of

their time indoors when the

weather is cold, breathing

poor air can result in illness.

Houseplants are an all-natu-

ral way to filter out offensive

air without relying on pow-

ered air purifiers or chemical

air fresheners.

Weatherproof the home. Do

yourself and the environ-

ment a favor by weather-

Dont warm up the car. Many

cars can do a cold-start and

get on the road without the

need for idling in the drive-

way. Instead of wasting gaso-

line and pouring engine

emissions into the air unnec-

essarily, just get in and drive.

If youre sensitive to a cold

car, try to park it in the garage

during the winter.

Carpool. Individuals who

used to bike or walk to work

when it was nice outside may

be tempted to take the car

when its cold. Maximize en-

ergy savings by carpooling

with like-minded individuals.

Invite people over. Instead of

turning up the heat when the

indoor temperature drops, in-

vite friends and family for an

impromptu party. Research in-

dicates that each guest is the

equivalent of a 175-watt

heater! Not only will you have

fun, youll feel toasty, too.

Surviving the winter in

an environmentally friendly

way really isnt that difficult

when you employ some simple

strategies.

and will they be able to retire

with income and dignity one

day? My wife and I will raise

them and educate them; do we

also have to support them be-

yond college too? Will the fam-

ily of the future be responsible

for supporting and raising the

children while simultaneously

supporting and caring for par-

ents and all under one roof?

Will the in-laws be there too?Thats not my plan, what about

yours?

I believe that retirement

planning will morph into

multi-generational, triple-

decker sandwich austerity

measure planning, if govern-

mental deficits continue to be

untamable and habitual tax in-

creases become routine.

During my thirty years in

the financial planning arena Ihave seen and continue to see

a lack of understanding of the

magnitude of failing to live

below ones means while invest-

ing the difference in long-term

retirement minded accounts.

Bankruptcy and foreclosures

continue to break all-time

records as do mortgage modifi-

cation applications and short-

sales. We are quickly becoming

a two class system, as the mid-dle-class is being squeezed ei-

ther up or down, mostly down

and out. Some retirees can no

longer afford to maintain their

homes being forced out and

away by rising property taxes,

utility bills and eroded portfo-

lios. The cost of an in-state col-

lege education from WPU,

William Paterson University,

when I attended to now, 30

years later has increased

1,200% from $30 a credit to$368.

Yes, Im 50 now with po-

tentially more years behind me

than in front of me; from my

point of view my generation

has a bumpy ride ahead with

college education obligations

for their children and the nec-

essary funds to build or rebuild a

retirement portfolio. The stock

market has been a little rough

for my peer group, yet, I do seegreat prospects for the future.

Innovation, inventions and

technology breed success, job

growth, rising stock prices and

a return to prosperity. I believe

that with discipline, consis-

tency and a little sacrifice, peo-

ple my age will be able to bring

their portfolios back up in

order to retire 20 years from

now at age 70. In fact, some

companies will guarantee* it!Though it wont come easily, I

believe that those 50 year olds

who make a plan and stick to it,

success will be theirs. If you

would like to continue this dis-

cussion with me in person,

about portfolio management

and how to win the race to

prosperity, give me a call and

we can go over a few ideas and

strategies that Im sure youll

find profitable, useful and ex-

cited to implement. Though Inever charge a fee for a consul-

tation, you might find the time

spent in conversation with me

priceless!

Thanksgiving holds

different meanings

to different people.

Some feel it is a day for being

generous or giving thanks

through unselfish deeds. Oth-

ers feel it is a time to sit

around with family sharing

stories of the year. Still many

others simply look forward to

the day for football. No mat-

ter how you view Thanksgiv-

ing, one thing is for sure,

filling up on turkey is an inte-

gral part of the holiday.

If turkey is the center-

piece of your celebration

as it should be then make

sure to have enough turkey

on hand to adequately feed all

of your guests. Although they

will be filling up on trim-

mings and side dishes as well,

the first thing they will spear

with a fork is a nice slice of

juicy turkey.

There is some conven-

tional wisdom with regards to

how big a turkey to buy. Most

chefs or home cooks say that

having a pound to one-and-a-

half pounds for each adult at

the holiday table is adequate.

Children will likely eat a half

or quarter of that amount. If

you want to ensure leftovers,

then you can increase the size

of the turkey slightly.Therefore, if 10 adults

and 5 children will be at

Thanksgiving dinner, multi-

ply 10 by 1.5. That equals 15.

Multiply 5 x .5, which equals

2.5. Add the two totals to-

gether, and youre left with

17.5 pounds. A turkey in that

range should be adequate to

feed guests. If your guests are

known to be hearty eaters or

if leftovers are essential,

round up to a 20-pound bird.

Keep in mind it will be neces-

sary to check the size of your

oven prior to purchasing the

turkey to ensure the bird will

fit inside with a roasting pan.

Otherwise, you may have to

downsize on the turkey and

cook more side dishes.Once the size of the

turkey is determined, it all

comes down to the cooking,

so naturally, the larger the

bird the longer the cooking

time. Instead of leaving cook-

ing to chance, or to the un-

predictable pop-up plug

included with the turkey, take

the time to select a reliable

meat thermometer. There are

standard and digital modelsavailable. Some digital ther-

mometers enable you to insert

the prong in the turkey and

then stretch a heat-proof wire

to the digital unit, which re-

mains outside of the oven.

This way you can set a timer

or set a cooking temperature.

The thermometer will beep

when the turkey is done. The

USDA recommends poultry

be cooked to 165 F. be sure tocheck the temperature at the

wing and the thickest part of

the breast.

After cooking, let the

turkey rest around 10 minutes

after removing it from the

oven. This will enable the

juices to stay within the meat

and keep it moist. And isnt a

moist turkey the ultimate

goal? Then slice and serve to

guests.

Figuring the turkey-to-person ratio

Once turkey weight is determined, then be sure to use a thermome-ter to accurately tell when the bird is cooked correctly.

childs range of motion of the

ankle joint the therapist may

recommend the use of one or a

combination of the following:

Serial casting. This involves

wearing a cast for 1to 2 weeks

that stretch the tight muscles

and increases ankle motion.

A series of casts are often re-

quired to attain optimal re-sults.

Braces or Ankle Foot Or-

thoses are worn during the day

to increase the flexibility of

the ankle and prevent toe

walking

Night splints are worn during

sleeping hours and help

stretch the muscles of the leg.

In conclusion, toe walk-

ing is a fairly common problem

that when treated appropri-ately almost always resolves.

However, it is crucial that the

benign causes of toe walking

are separated from the more

serious causes and appropriate

treatment is not delayed. As

benign as idiopathic toe walk-

ing may seem, it can result in a

less than optimal quality of life

for some children. It can

cause frequent tripping, delay

of gross motor skills, poor body

awareness and muscular imbal-

ances that if left untreated,

can become contractures.

Please contact your pediatric

physical therapist to evaluate

your child for this condition.

Gena Livingston is a pediatric

physical therapist, who brings

over five years of experience to

Kids Therapy Center of

Riverdale. Specializing in early

childhood intervention, Gena is

very experienced treating

children with cerebral palsy,

delayed motor development,

autism, torticollis, post-surgical

corrections, and athletic in-juries. If you would like to

Safety and Health Administra-

tion, was quoted as saying,

Crowd-related injuries during

special retail sales and promo-

tional events have increased

during recent years. Many of

these incidents can be pre-

vented by adopting a crowd

management plan.

Just what is a crowd-man-

agement plan? OSHA has de-veloped a guide for retailers to

help avoid accidents and may-

hem. The National Retail Fed-

eration also issued guidelines

for similar promotional events

that draw crowds. Contin-

gency plans for larger-than-ex-

pected crowds should be put

into place, as should thorough

communication plans.

Some stores have imple-

mented their own policies, in-cluding requiring wrist bands

to control the amount of peo-

ple in the store at any given

time. Other stores have formed

lines in separate areas to avoid

crowds at the front of the

stores.

Individuals shopping can

also do their part. While Black

Friday shopping has become a

tradition for many, oftentimes

better deals can be had at differ-

ent points in the holiday sea-

son. Some argue that shopping

on Thanksgiving Day yields

better sales and that those door

busters are only ways to draw

you into the store for other

products that dont have thesame wow factor. Keep in mind

that many online retailers also

offer Black Friday sales that are

comparable and you dont have

to wait outside in the cold to

get them.

Should you still go to a fa-

vorite brick-and-mortar store in

the wee hours of the morning,

experts urge putting personal

safety above saving money.

ost of you have

probably heard the

name Sidney

Crosby, Canadas hockey hero.Hes the guy that scored the

overtime goal to defeat the

Americans in the Gold Medal

hockey final at the 2010 Win-

ter Olympics. He also has

helped his team win a Stanley

Cup and has been named the

MVP of the National Hockey

League, all before the age of

24! For someone who seem-

ingly is at the top of his game,

Mr. Crosby has had quite a bitof difficulty lately and chronic

traumatic encephalopathy or

CTE could unfortunately be

the reason. It appears that he

has a great deal of difficulty

keeping his equilibrium while

skating after he sustained two

concussions in a weeks time

this past January. Crosby has-

nt played a game since and

with the new NHL season in

full swing, there is still no realtimetable for his return to ac-

tion. The sad part of it is that it

could have been prevented.

You need to know the

warning signs if you have a

child involved in sports. CTEis serious business. It is a de-

generative brain disease caused

by head trauma, most notably

by a concept known as second

impact syndrome. This is

when a person sustains a sec-

ond or multiple concussions in

a short period of time after the

first concussion. Early on CTE

sufferers may display such

symptoms as memory impair-

ment, emotional instability, er-ratic behavior, depression and

problems with impulse control.

Long term, it can lead to de-

mentia and death. Several for-

mer NFL and NHL players

have died from it including Pro

Football Hall of Fame center

Mike Webster and Rick Mar-

tin legendary member of the

French Connection line for

the Buffalo Sabres in the

1970s.These symptoms can be

more extreme in those persons

under 21 years of age. Medical

studies have linked the condi-

tion to football, hockey and

lacrosse. Nationwide, therehave been teen athlete suicides

attributable to CTE. If your son

or daughter has suffered a con-

cussion it is imperative that they

heal completely before they are

cleared to return to their sports.

Dont let overzealous doctors,

coaches, school or club officials

pressure you before your son or

daughter is ready. The results

could be devastating.

If you feel that your son ordaughter is suffering one or

more symptoms listed above

and you dont know where to

turn, Azrak and Associates, lo-

cated in Pompton Plains, has a

team of experienced lawyers

who are familiar with CTE and

the second impact syndrome

and are committed to protect-

ing the rights of your children.
