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

both local and federal issues af-
fecting NJ including the federal
debt ceiling, the ARC tunnel,
privatization, service restructur-
ing and the cost of public
unions to the taxpayer. Afterwatching the citizens of New

ful government spending at the

more to raise awareness. Date

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

2011. Another great benefit is
the Pearle Vision Credit Card
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.

of Optometry at Pearle Vision
Riverdale is Dr. Sudaporn
Tanpattana, who specializes
in adult and pediatric eye ex-
aminations. Dr. Tanpattana

ence Degree, with honors,

izes in contact lens fittings.

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

Matthew has also had the thrill of studying with world-renowned therapists Brian Mulligan and David Butler, furtherexpanding his clinical skills into more diverse orthopedic and
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-

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,

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.
