Road trips hold a special place in many people’s hearts. The open road and the freedoms it represents have been romanticized by writers and travelers since automobiles became accessible to the masses. While many drivers still take to the road looking for adventure, road trips have changed considerably since Jack Kerouac penned his seminal novel “On the Road” in the 1950s. The spirit of the open road is still there, but the way travelers approach road trips has changed considerably, most notably with regard to the technology that motorists now take along for the ride. Drivers about to embark on a road trip, whether it’s their first such venture or their fiftieth, can make trips even more enjoyable by taking along the right tech.

Holocaust Survivor’s Grandson Dave Reckess Shares His Bubi’s Story with Newark High School

Sophomores

EDITED FROM NCSD NEWS BRIEF, PRINTED WITH PERMISSION

It’s one thing to learn about the horrors of the Holocaust in a classroom. It’s quite another to hear about one of the most unthinkable chapters in human history from the grandchild of a Holocaust survivor. Justin Fladd, Newark High School (NHS) Global Studies 9 &10 teacher invited Dave Reckess, grandson of Holocaust survivor Sarah Tuller to speak to NHS sophomores on March 28th.

Reckess’ presentations, including photos and videos of his grandmother telling her stories as she did publicly many times in her later years to about 160 Global 10 students at NHS did not disappoint. Fladd said, “Dave is an amazing speaker, who does a great job engaging the student audience, and the story of his grandmother makes the Holocaust “real” for a lot of the students. It made information about the Holocaust discussed in our classes really come alive.”

While all four of Reckess’ Jewish grandparents went to concentration camps, all four survived. His presentations focus primarily on his maternal grandmother, Sarah Feldzamen, his “Bubi”

Sarah (“Bubi” is Yiddish for grandmother):

Born in 1922 in Lublin, Poland, life for Sarah took a dramatic turn in her teens with harsh restrictions imposed on Jewish people in Germany and Poland. ey wore yellow armbands identifying themselves, and demeaning, antisemitic signs were posted all over town. Kids who were once her friends threw stones at her. At 16, she was no longer allowed to attend school. Jewish families faced strict curfews and had to pay Nazi soldiers and keep businesses open so Nazi soldiers could take whatever they wanted.

At night, Nazi soldiers ordered Lublin Jews to leave their apartments and board trucks headed for concentration camps. Many of Sarah’s friends disappeared. Her brother attempted to ee to Russia but was captured, imprisoned, and killed.

Tuller shared in a video: “ e Nazis treated us like dogs, actually not even dogs, more like stray dogs. ey took away our dignity. ey dehumanized us. I knew that even though I was treated terribly, I just had to go on living and that helped me survive.”

When Sarah was 19, Jewish Lublin men and boys built a concentration camp in nearby Majdanek, where all remaining Jews were then forced to live. Not long a er they arrived, a Nazi guard told Sarah’s boyfriend, Yehuda, who came to camp with his ailing mother, that some people could try to escape at midnight. e guard would open the gate, look the other way, and let people escape. But in three minutes, he would release his dogs to chase them. Sarah’s boyfriend, who could not leave his sick mother behind, persuaded Sarah to escape with her parents and 17-year-old brother or face certain death in the concentration camp.

Amazingly, they made it back to Lublin and stayed with a trusted Catholic family. A er a few days, that family, fearing their own safety, said they must leave. e Feldzamens boarded a train to Warsaw where a kind, non-Jewish family they knew let them stay in a concealed room in their tiny apartment for 3.5 years. at life was fraught with loneliness, anxiety, fear, sadness, and monotony, but the kindness of their hosts and the hope for a better future someday kept the Feldzamens going.

Over the years in hiding, Reckess said his grandmother’s family wondered if there would even be a world worth living in when the war was over, but nally, in the spring of 1945, the Russian Army reached Warsaw and freed it from the Nazis.

e Feldzamens returned to Lublin and searched for survivors they knew. ey found her brother’s friend, Sasha Tuller, who had ed to Russia at the beginning of the war. Sasha was the only member of his family to survive. Sarah and Sasha became close, married, and then, with her parents, they moved to New York City to create a new life. ey had three children, ran a successful fabric shop in Brooklyn, and lived many good years together.

Sasha Tuller died in 1985. Years later, Sarah met and married Morris Golub, who encouraged her to talk about her experiences and chronicled them into a 70- page history manuscript Reckess and his family treasure and that can be viewed in the U.S. Holocaust Memorial Museum in Washington, D.C. Golub died in 2016. Sarah died three years later at age 97.

DauntingmemoriesoftheHolocaustanditsimpactonherfamily and so many others she knew and loved did not permanently scar Sarah. She lived a full, productive life. Her obituary says it best: “ rough it all, Sarah lived her life with abundant energy, honesty, and determination. She was spunky, big-hearted, and le an indelible impression on everyone she met. She taught us that life is not always fair. But while we are here and living, we should make the most of it. She showed us how to enjoy life and treat each day as a marvelous gi .”

Reckess carries on Sarah’s legacy with his work with 3GNY, an educational non-pro t organization founded by grandchildren of Holocaust survivors whose mission is to preserve the legacies and lessons of the Holocaust. For more information, visit 3gny. org.

HOW TO CONSERVE WATER AT HOME

Conservation is an essential component of an eco-friendly lifestyle. Conserving the planet’s natural resources can have a profound impact on the planet, and conserving at home is a great way for men and women to get the ball rolling on their conservation efforts.

One of the most effective ways to conserve at home is to reduce water consumption. Few people give much thought to how much water they consume at home, as water bills tend to be considerably lower than other utilities like energy and phone. But even if efforts to conserve water at home may not make a dramatic impact on monthly utility bills, many measures can go a long way toward preserving one of the planet’s most precious resources.

When working with chemicals and other products that have strong odors and/or emit particulates into the air, make sure you do so in well-ventilated areas. This will help dissipate the smell and prevent inhalation of concentrated chemical substances. Masks guard against dust, pollen and some other microscopic particles and may not provide enough protection, depending on the job. The Home Depot suggests using particulate or filtration respirators when performing tasks, such as sanding, where you might be exposed to particles. Gas and vapor respirators offer protection against additional substances.

DID YOU KNOW?

Diamond engagement rings are presented as tokens of love and affection during wedding proposals. The majority of first-time brides will receive a diamond ring, with surveys indicating only 13 percent opt for another gemstone. Researchers from Emory University determined that the average price for a diamond ring is roughly $2,500. However, grooms can spend much more. Diamonds have symbolized eternal love for centuries, perhaps since they were first discovered in India more than 2,000 years ago. The ancient Greeks actually thought diamonds were tears of the gods, while ancient Romans believed diamonds were splinters from heavenly stars.

Kick Start Spring With A Finished Basement

An unfinished basement is a source of energy loss in many homes. By simply finishing the space with wall and floor coverings, you will notice a difference on your energy bills. A remodeled basement offers more than additional storage and living space. It can provide room for a growing family or a space where you can retreat for some privacy.

Insulation is a key component in making your basement look and feel comfortable, inviting and dry. For the best results, install a rigid board insulation against the concrete foundation before you stud the wall. The board is mechanically fastened or adhered to the concrete foundation wall, preventing thermal bridging through the studs, offering a higher R-value and better thermal performance.

Tipping men and women who work in the food service industry is commonplace in the United States and Canada, where citizens typically tip between 15 and 20 percent when dining out at restaurants. But American and Canadiantravelersabouttodepart for overseas destinations may want to familiarize themselves with the practices regarding gratuities before their planes touch down. Some countries automatically add gratuities onto customers’ bills. For example, the government in Dubai mandates that a 10 percent service charge be added to all hotel, restaurant and bar bills. This service charge is then divided by the staff at the establishment, making the charge the equivalent of a tip. Diners in Morocco, where the gratuity is sometimes included in the bill, might be surprised to learn that a 10 percent tip in that country is considered generous. Tips are included in the bill in Costa Rica, where travelers need not feel obligated to leave any additional gratuities. Service is often included in the bill within the United Kingdom as well, though travelers should inspect the bill before assuming gratuity was included. Visitors to Spain should not feel obligated to leave a gratuity larger than 13 percent, and even a tip in the range of 7 percent is considered acceptable.

Patient With Risk of Breast Cancer Questions Safety of Yearly MRI

DEAR DR. ROACH: Due to a slight genetic risk of breast cancer (my Tyrer-Cuzick Model score was 20.6%), my doctor wants me to get breast MRIs with contrast annually. I am concerned about long-term exposure to the gadolinium-based contrast dye. I’ve learned that this heavy metal is considered safe, but traces of it can be stored in the brain and other body tissues.

I am 49 and in very good health. I also get mammograms annually. I consulted my doctor about spacing out my MRIs every two to three years, but he said I should have an MRI every year. So I could be getting these MRIs for the next 35 or so years. Do the benefits of contrast dye outweigh the harm in a person with my health profile? -- S.A.

ANSWER: I’m afraid I don’t have a good answer for you. It is true that most authorities recommend an intensive breast cancer surveillance program for women at a high risk of breast cancer, in the range of a 20% to 25% lifetime risk. (The average risk for developing breast cancer for a woman born today is estimated to be about 13%.)

The Tyrer-Cuzick model of estimating breast cancer risk tends to give higher estimates than the other commonly used models, such as the BRCAPRO. Other models may not put you over the threshold for intensive screening with MRIs, which is usually combined with mammograms. The question about gadolinium (the chemical element used in the contrast dye for MRIs) is important because some people do store gadolinium in various tissues, including the brain, but the clinical significance of this is unknown. (People with kidney disease can develop a skin disease due to gadolinium, so they aren’t recommended to have MRIs with gadolinium.)

Although gadolinium can stay in the body for months or years, there has been no evidence of harm from gadolinium in brain tissue, despite these agents having been used for many years. Some agents have less retention than others. The U.S. FDA has mandated patient guides for these contrast agents, which relay the information above.

Given that there is a probable benefit to intensive screening for breast cancer in your case due to your high genetic risk, and no more than a theoretical risk from gadolinium, I believe that the benefits outweigh the risks, but I can’t say that with complete certainty.

FOOD ALLERGY FAST FACTS

Food allergies can develop from birth, and some last a lifetime. Others are developed at different ages and may be outgrown. No matter when allergies stop or start, they can be a life-threatening problem for children. Although food allergies may be managed more easily at home, they present different challenges for school-aged children. School nurses and administrative officials should be informed about food allergies, especially if they are severe enough to warrant medical intervention, such as medication. Food allergies are quite common. Consider these allergy facts that can help parents better understand any issues their children might face.

• The Food Allergy Research and Education network says nearly 15 million people in the United States, many of whom are children, are affected by food allergies.

• One in 13 Canadians, or roughly 2.5 million people, are affected by a food allergy, according to estimates from the Allergy, Genes and Environmental Network.

• Around 7 percent of Canadian children under the age of 18 report having at least one food allergy.

• The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention says children with food allergies are two to four times more likely to have other related conditions, such as asthma and other allergies.

• Food allergies are an immune system response to the food, not a case of digestive intolerance.

• Among food allergic children, peanuts are the most prevalent allergen, followed by milk and shellfish, says the American Academy of Allergy, Asthma & Immunology.

• Food allergies can cause everything from mild reactions, such as itchiness or hives, to anaphylaxis, a severe and potentially deadly reaction.

• Risk of food allergies increases when there is a parent who suffers from any type of allergic disease - even those beyond food allergies.

• A recent study conducted by researchers at Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine found that children are taking longer to outgrow milk and egg allergies.

• Food avoidance remains the best way to prevent symptoms of food allergies. That is why reading product labels is vital.

DID YOU KNOW? Statistics from the United States Coast Guard indicate that, in 2019, 86 percent of drowning victims in recreational boating accidents where cause of death was known were not wearing life jackets. The National Park Service reports that drowning is the top cause of visitor deaths in national parks and that nearly all of those deaths are preventable. One of the simplest ways to prevent drowning is to follow the advice of the NPS and wear a life jacket at all times when near or in the water. This includes when wading, swimming, fishing, boating, and engaging in watersports or other water-related activities. The NPS notes that there are three types of life jackets, but only two come in child and infant sizes. Inherently buoyant (primarily foam) life jackets and hybrid (foam and inflation) life jackets are available in child and infant sizes. The NPS recommends both types of life jackets for swimmers and non-swimmers. People who intend to engage in water sports should know that some hybrid life jackets are designed specifically for such activities. The third type of life jacket is inflatable life jackets, which are only available in adult sizes and should never be worn by poor or non-swimmers.

Painting

NOW HERE’S A TIP

By JoAnn Derson

* Make children’s pills easier to swallow by crushing them and putting them in a bit of jelly or applesauce. Make sure, especially if it’s a prescription medicine, that it can be crushed. -- U.L. in Minnesota

* To keep kids from running into a closed sliding-glass door, cut out a small picture of something that’s brightly colored, “laminate” it by taping it across both sides, then tape it to the door at children’s eye level. -- E.R. in New York

* Painting season is in full swing at my house, and here are my two favorite painting tips: One is to lightly soap the windows (glass only) and let it dry. Any paint splatters will land on the soap, which can be easily wiped away when the paint is all dry. The other is to give locks, hinges and doorknobs a light coat of petroleum jelly. It works the same way, and when polished away, it leaves a nice shine to hardware.

* Here’s a great spring facial: Split an avocado, mash half of it and use it as a mask. Let sit for up to five minutes, then rinse away with warm water.

* Cleaning windows? Use a nylon net scrubbie from the kitchen to get rid of bugs from screens. It also works really well to scrub bugs off the car grille or car window.

* Here’s a great tip you can use when parallel parking in front of a storefront. Check the reflection to see if it looks like there’s room when backing in or pulling forward. -- O.W. in California

EQUAL HOUSING OPPORTUNITY

PITFALLS TO AVOID FALLING INTO DEBT

Bonus hunting: Another pitfall to avoid is the temptation to use credit cards instead of cash in an effort to accumulate more travel miles or cash back bonuses. Consumers should aspire to use cash over credit whenever possible. Doing so ensures consumers are not spending money they don’t have, which is one of the most common ways that individuals build significant consumer debt.

THIS SPRING, IT’S ALL ABOUT THAT BASS

FISHING -AND YOUR BASIC GEAR

BRING THE EXTRAS. This could include a life vest,cooler or,if you happen to be a smokeless tobacco user,a portable spittoon like those offered by Flasr. The Atlantabased company prides itself on creating the first-of-its-kind portable spittoon that is small enough to fit in your pocket and carry along wherever you go -whether it’s fishing on a lake or hunting in a blind. Its advanced closing mechanism ensures that it stays securely closed, eliminating the riskof spillsand leaks.

You can cut all the flowers but you cannot keep spring from coming.

beside his bowl and howls -- making it impossible for me to work at my desk. What can I do to calm him down and help him lose weight? --

Jim G., Quincy, Massachusetts

Dear Jim: It’s di cult to help overweight pets lose those extra pounds, and it’s clear that Seeker has no qualms about complaining about it!

Since you’re working from home, one way to mitigate the howling is to implement a divert-and-reward system to take his mind o his empty bowl. In essence, keep Seeker away from the kitchen and as busy as your schedule allows.

Immediately a er his breakfast, close o the kitchen. Use a baby gate or shut the door, and hide the food bowl out of sight. Take Seeker outside for a short walk to burn o extra energy and a few calories. If you’re in a high-rise apartment or another situation where going outside frequently is more di cult, opt for a ve-minute training and play session instead.

While you’re working, Seeker should be separated from the kitchen -- either in a closed-o room or with you in your o ce (but in his own corner) -- and given plenty of toys to chew on. Spend time with Seeker on each break from work. Play, work on basic obedience, or just hang out. Once you’re nished with work for the day, take Seeker out for a long walk before giving him dinner.

Stick with the diet prescribed by the vet. Be patient but consistent with Seeker to change his behavior. He can and will lose the weight, because you care about him!

SENIOR NEWS

By Matilda Charles

Why Are Seniors Targeted for Scams?

In one year alone, seniors lost over $3 billion to scammers, and it’s gotten worse every year. e 60-69 age group was bad enough, but the dollar losses rose even more a er age 70, and much more a er age 80.

Why are we targeted?

e thieves believe two things about us: We’re all rich and have great credit, having worked our whole lives, and, worst of all, that we won’t tell anyone if we lose money to them. ose two things alone make us constant targets.

All scammers have to do to turn us into victims, according to a study by Stanford and AARP, is raise our emotions. Whether happiness or anger, it doesn’t matter, because either will push us to hand over our information or our money.

For example, scammers will say we’ve won a big prize, like the lottery, but to claim that prize we need to send them processing fees in advance. We think about that prize and our good sense goes out the window.

Emotions come into play when a scammer calls pretending to be a grandchild in trouble. We’re asked to send money right away. We’re upset, and we do. But the emotional pleas for money don’t end there. Romance scams are huge, and too many lonely seniors send cash to their new love without questioning it.

Scammers who pretend to be from the government, such as the IRS, who frighten us into paying money, raise our emotions as well.

e list of scams directed at the elderly is nearly endless: investments, lottery wins, IRS tax bills, low-cost prescriptions, charities, tech repair, cemetery debts, romance, reverse mortgage, help signing up for Medicare, auto warranties ...

Beware. If you allow yourself to be scammed once, they will be back, because you’ll be on a list of people who can be fooled.

Firemen’s Auxiliary

A very special thank you to the Firemen’s Ladies Auxiliary. Saturday, they had a fundraiser at the firehouse. The chicken and biscuit dinner they served was absolutely delicious. Next year I think I will order two dinners for myself. Thank you to all who made this a special meal.

Kindness of strangers

To the very special father and daughter from Sand Hill Rd, who helped us unload our truck load of branches at the West Bloomfield drop off area, we are eternally grateful to you. Many sincere thanks, we couldn’t have done it without you. Your kindness is rare!!

HOMETOWN PHOTOS

Store music

Does anyone else notice the obscene and loud music in many stores? I hope store managers see this post. Most people over the age of 40 are the ones that actually go out to shop, the rest buy online and never set foot in a store. Sometimes I would like to stay and look around but the background noise/music forces me to make my purchase and get out ASAP. Maybe the cashiers have the freedom to play music they like. Maybe it gets piped in. We don’t want to hear loud, trashy, pounding and screaming when we enter a store; it’s not conducive to shopping. How about trying different music? Please.

Neighborhood trash

We live in the [local road] area of [local town]. We have complained for a long time about disgusting neighbors who shouldn’t be allowed to live in those conditions. [Code enforcement officer] nothing. The place recently burned and now it is even worse. Now there are rats and all kinds of creatures. What do we have to do to get it cleaned up? Maybe my next move will be to the state health department. I have had enough.

Price gouging

Ever do your math and realize how much we’re overcharged and gouged for products? A bottle of water costs X amount. Multiply that by the cost to buy a case. Drinks in restaurants and food prices, just to name a few. Unbelievable profits. Inflation is 5% over the past 3 years down from 8% when costs skyrocketed. Price of gas for delivery? Inflation? Inflation has gone down slightly. Why haven’t costs down? They were quick to go up. Why do we accept this?

Many retirees still work even after calling it a career, and opportunities abound for men and women looking to fill their time and make a little extra money along the way.

DID YOU KNOW? There are various types of liver cancer. According to the Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center, each type differs in the way it develops.

· Hepatocellular carcinoma: This is the most common type of primary liver cancer. It begins in liver cells called hepatocytes.

· Intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma: This cancer begins in tubelike structures called bile ducts and is the second most common type of liver cancer.

· Fibrolamellar-hepatocellular carcinoma: This is a rare type of hepatocellular carcinoma that is less aggressive than other types of primary liver cancer. It usually develops in people in their 20s and 30s.

· Angiosarcomas, hemangiosarcomas and hemangioendotheliomas: These tumors occur in the inner linings of the blood vessels. It is most often diagnosed in very young children and is treatable.

· Hematoblastomas: These primary liver tumors are made of tissue that resembles fetal liver cells, bile duct cells or mature liver cells under a microscope.They are treatable.

· Benign tumors: Some tumors are noncancerous and do not cause symptoms or discomfort. Adenomas, liver cysts, hemangiomas, and focal nodular hyperplasias are some examples of benign tumors.
