hree years after the Civil War ended, on May 5, 1868, the head of an organization of Union veterans — the Grand Army of the Republic (GAR) — established Decoration Day as a time for the nation to decorate the graves of the war dead with flowers. Maj. Gen. John A. Logan declared that Decoration Day should be observed on May 30. It is believed that date was chosen because flowers would be in bloom all over the country. The first large observance was held that year at Arlington National Cemetery, across the Potomac River from Washington, D.C. The ceremonies centered around the mourning-draped veranda of the Arlington mansion, once the home of Gen. Robert E. Lee. Various Washington officials, including Gen. and Mrs. Ulysses S. Grant, presided over the ceremo-
nies. After speeches, children from the Soldiers’ and Sailors’ Orphan Home and members of the GAR made their way through the cemetery, strewing flowers on both Union and Confederate graves, reciting prayers and singing hymns. Local Observances Claim To Be First Local springtime tributes to the Civil War dead already had been held in various places. One of the first occurred in Columbus, Miss., April 25, 1866, when a group of women visited a cemetery to decorate the graves of Confederate soldiers who had fallen in battle at Shiloh. Nearby were the graves of Union soldiers, neglected because they were the enemy. Disturbed at the sight of the bare graves, the women placed some of their flowers on those graves, as well. Today, cities in the north and the south claim to be the birthplace of Memorial Day
in 1866. Both Macon and Columbus, Ga., claim the title, as well as Richmond, Va. The village of Boalsburg, Pa., claims it began there two years earlier. A stone in a Carbondale, Ill., cemetery carries the statement that the first Decoration Day ceremony took place there on April 29, 1866. Carbondale was the wartime home of Gen. Logan. Approximately 25 places have been named
in connection with the origin of Memorial Day, many of them in the South where most of the war dead were buried. Official Birthplace Declared In 1966, congress and President Lyndon Johnson declared Waterloo, N.Y., the “birthplace” of Memorial Day. There, a ceremony on May 5, 1866, honored local continued on page 2

Memorial Day History... continued from front page veterans who had fought in the Civil War. Businesses closed and residents flew flags at half-staff. Supporters of Waterloo’s claim say
earlier observances in other places were informal, not community-wide or onetime events. By the end of the 19th century, Memorial Day cer-
emonies were being held on May 30 throughout the nation. State legislatures passed proclamations designating the day, and the Army and Navy adopted
Essex County ARC Races Raise $77K For The Disabled
T
he Arc of Essex County, a non-profit dedicated to helping children and adults with intellectual and development disabilities, crowned David Leiken, 34, of Morris Plains, and Larissa Hoffmann, 23, of Sussex, the victors of the 19th Annual Building Tomorrows 5K Run last month, while raising more than $77,000 to support the agency’s programs and services. The USA Track and Field sanctioned 5K-race held on Sat., April 29 in Essex County’s South Mountain Recreation Complex attracted a broad field of competitors. More than 700 participated in the 5K Run, Family Fundraising Walk and Fun Fest. The Building Tomorrows event is part of The Arc of New Jersey’s annual Step Up for The Arc statewide initiative of walk-
athons held locally by every county chapter. The Arc of Essex County is the state’s largest provider of services and supports to the intellectual and developmentally disabled community with a wide variety of programs that serve individuals from birth through their senior years. Finishing on Leiken’s heels in the men’s division were Timothy McCarthy, 37, of Nutley, and Peter Cullen, 48, of Verona. In the women’s division, Nicole Rong, 15, of Livingston, placed second, and Chloe Contarino, 28, of West Orange, placed third. In addition to the USATF-sanctioned 5K Run, members of the community gathered to participate in a fundraising walk. More than 20 teams and 500 individuals participated including the Essex County College Public Safety Acad-
emy Police Class BPCO 17-1, whose 67 members raised more than $12,000 and volunteered throughout the day. “We would like to congratulate all of the runners and walkers who took part in the 2017 Building Tomorrows 5K Run, Family Walk, and Fun Fest,” said Linda Cancro Lucas, chief executive officer of The Arc of Essex County. “We are especially thankful to the Essex County College Public Safety Academy for their continued support and participation in this event. As a result of everyone’s fundraising efforts and the participation of the community, we raised needed funds which will enable The Arc of Essex County to continue to fuel vital programs and services for children and adults with intellectual and developmental disabilities.”

regulations for proper observance at their facilities. It was not until after World War I, however, that the day was expanded to honor those who have died in all American wars. In 1971, Memorial Day was declared a national holiday by an act of Congress, though it is still often called Decoration Day. It was then also placed on the last Monday in May, as were some other federal holidays. Some States Have Confederate Observances Many Southern states also have their own days for honoring the Confederate dead. Mississippi celebrates Confederate Memorial Day on the last Monday of April, Alabama on the fourth Monday of April, and Georgia on April 26. North and South Carolina observe it on May 10, Louisiana on June 3 and Tennessee calls that date Confederate Decoration Day. Texas celebrates Confederate Heroes Day January 19 and Virginia calls the last Monday in May Confederate Memorial Day. Gen. Logan’s order for his posts to decorate graves in 1868 “with the choicest flowers of springtime” urged: “We should guard
their graves with sacred vigilance. ... Let pleasant paths invite the coming and going of reverent visitors and fond mourners. Let no neglect, no ravages of time, testify to the present or to the coming generations that we have forgotten as a people the cost of a free and undivided republic.” The crowd attending the first Memorial Day ceremony at Arlington National Cemetery was approximately the same size as those that attend today’s observance, about 5,000 people. Then, as now, small American flags were placed on each grave — a tradition followed at many national cemeteries today. In recent years, the custom has grown in many families to decorate the graves of all departed loved ones. The origins of special services to honor those who die in war can be found in antiquity. The Athenian leader Pericles offered a tribute to the fallen heroes of the Peloponnesian War more than 24 centuries ago that could be applied today to the 1.1 million Americans who have died in the nation’s wars: “Not only are they commemorated by columns and inscriptions,

but there dwells also an unwritten memorial of them, graven not on stone but in the hearts of men.” To ensure the sacrifices of America’s fallen heroes are never forgotten, in December 2000, the U.S. Congress passed and the president signed into law “The National Moment of Remembrance Act,” P.L. 106-579, creating the White House Commission on the National Moment of Remembrance. The commission’s charter is to “encourage the people of the United States to give something back to their country, which provides them so much freedom and opportunity” by encouraging and coordinating commemorations in the United States of Memorial Day and the National Moment of Remembrance. The National Moment of Remembrance encourages all Americans to pause wherever they are at 3 p.m. local time on Memorial Day for a minute of silence to remember and honor those who have died in service to the nation. As Moment of Remembrance founder Carmella LaSpada states: “It’s a way we can all help put the memorial back in Memorial Day.”

More Than A Century Later, Electric Cars Come Full Circle At Thomas Edison National Park
By Jennifer Walkup brand new electric car charging station opened at Thomas Edison National Park in West Orange on April 19. More than a century after inventor Thomas Edison parked his own 1914 Detroit Electric car at his factory on Main Street, a new technological innovation was implemented with the installation of this electric car charging station. This project was made possible by a partnership between the National Park Service, the National Park Foundation, the US Energy Department and BMW. One hundred electric charging stations will be installed in national parks throughout the country. “The partnership between The National Park Service, National Park Foundation, BMW, and the Department of Energy made this possible,” said Thomas Ross, National Park Service superintendent. “This will allow electric cars to travel to and around national parks.” The partnership aims to get more electric vehicles
into national parks, rather than relegating electric vehicles to urban areas where charge stations are more easily accessible. This project fosters electric vehicle travel and will raise awareness about electric vehicle technology and plug-in electric vehicles for millions of park visitors. This project will reduce air pollution in national parks and gateway communities. “We are interested in supporting both electric cars as well as having a positive impact on the environment,” said Ross. “Having the charging stations in the parks will support that. Some parks are many miles of roadways. At this time, we do not have the infrastructure to support electric vehicles in those places. This will change that.” The electric vehicle charging station in West Orange is located in the laboratory complex’s visitor parking area. The program’s first charging station installation was chosen for the Thomas Edison National Park because of Edison’s inventive nature and his work with electric cars.
“We were proud to launch the national program here in West Orange,” said Ross. “We have two level-two charging stations at the laboratory complex on Main Street. There is a great historical connection. Thomas Edison was very interested in electric cars. It really has come full circle.” In the mid-1890s, Edison worked on an electric storage battery for use in electric cars. The park has three of his electric cars in its collection, two Detroit electric vehicles from 1913 and a loco mobile from 1905 which was converted from steam to electric. At Glenmont, Edison’s home, which is also open to visitors, Edison’s own original car charging station resides in the garage. This charging station was built by Edison in 1904. “We want to offer the charging station to visitors of the park but also to our community in West Orange,” said Ross. “We worked closely with the town and with the West Orange environmental committee as well.” Most stations are two to
three miles away in Montclair and near Turtleback Zoo. This new charging station is right in the center of town on Main Street and also near route 280. Courtesy of BMW, the charging station at the Thomas Edison site will operate for free for the first six months.
Roofing
The program will continue to add electric car charging stations throughout national parks during the next two years. They will determine where to install the charging stations based on the strength and proximity of local electric car markets, the location
LUIGI
of other nearby charging stations, as well as various considerations regarding the landscape of the parks. This partnership supports the National Park Foundation’s Centennial Campaign for America’s National Parks which aims continued on page 5

Electric Cars Come Full Circle... continued from page 4 to strengthen and enhance the future of America’s natural, historical and cultural treasures for the next 100 years. The mission aspires to do so by protecting America’s treasured places, connecting everyone from all backgrounds with the country’s incomparable natural landscapes, rich history, vibrant culture, as well as inspiring lifelong relationships with national parks, and creating the next great generation of park visitors and stewards. The NPS is responsible for the stewardship of America’s natural treasures and historic sites. Innovation, entrepreneurship and technology are key parts of its mission and story. Modern transportation produces
emissions that affect clear skies and scenic views and make it challenging for the NPS to fulfill its mission to preserve natural, historic, and cultural resources unimpaired for the enjoyment, education, and inspiration of this and future generations. The NPS has more than 20,000 employees that care for America’s 417 national parks. The National Park Foundation is the charity and philanthropic arm of the NPS. This nonprofit foundation aims to protect the more than 84 million acres of national parks through conservation and preservation. The NPS has worked with The US Department of energy on this and other projects in support of the
DOE’s Clean cities program by supporting local actions to reduce energy, emissions and petroleum use in transportation. The benefits of these projects will be far reaching for the nation. Visitors of The Thomas Edison National Historical Park will be able to view the new charging station along with the large variety of other offerings at the park. The site preserves the last and largest of Edison’s laboratories, home of the perfected phonograph, motion pictures and the nickel-iron alkaline storage battery. The museum collection has more than 400,000 artifacts including Edison products, laboratory equipment, and personal belongings of the Edisons.

Essex Offroad Claims Second Place At Wild West Chester Race
By: R.E. Wagner icking off the start of the season for both middle and high school mountain biking teams, the New Jersey Interscholastic Cycling League, NJICL, held its inaugural race in Chester on Sunday, April 23. Of the 15 teams that competed, the Essex Offroad Mountain Bike Team claimed second place overall with several team riders making it all the way to the podium. Comprising of 25 riders spread out across eight townships and of all skill levels, there were many strong performances among this diverse riding group. “My team did really well,” noted Cole Smith, high school junior. “Everyone ranging from the mid-
dle school to high school rode really fast. I felt great pretty much the whole way through each lap except for the main climb.” Smith went on to claim second place in the Varsity Boys with a time of 1:09:36 during his four-lap race, 14 miles. With a course comprising of 470 feet of vertical climbing and a 3.5 mile loop, Essex Offroad was up to the challenge. Nina Machnowski, a seasoned mountain biker in her own right, took home first place in JV Girls with a time of 38:29 in a two-lap race, 7 miles. Eighth grader Jack O’Neill secured another spot on the podium in third place, while his twin brother, Frank O’Neill, followed up in fourth place
with respective times of 18:28 and 19:12 for one lap. In sixth grade boys, Peyton Livelli won second place with a time of 23:18, Logan Machnowski took third place with 23:22, and Kai Contento took fourth place in 23:24. Riding only seconds apart, the boys showed great teamwork during their lap. The girls on the team also put forth competitive efforts. Eighth grader Christine Emanuelli won first place with a 31:37 lap while Melanie Rojas took second place with 37:30. And although they didn’t officially place, eighth grade students Andrew Hunt, Edward Selimi, John McCarthy and Harper Cohen as well as sixth grade students Gavin
Akersten and Niko Peppas, and Shane McGuire in JV Boys helped push the pace of the field stacked with top riders that had the largest start waves. “There’s nothing like riding and challenging yourself with a group of kids who look forward to
getting together and sharing something that’s still sort of unique,” commented Coach Geordie Smith. In order to prepare for the big day, Essex Offroad coaches Stephen Machnowski, Geordie Smith, and Kristine Contento Angel were all hard at
work. During the winter months, team practices were held twice weekly at local community parks for skills development when weather permitted, while supervised indoor sessions involving sprint intervals took place within Archicontinued on page 8

continued from page 6 tect Studios in Montclair and Jalapeno Cycling in Bloomfield when it didn’t. “I have been enjoying cycling for more than 40 years and hope to inspire that enjoyment in others,” added Smith. “The idea is to help normalize bike riding again and helping to get kids on bikes makes that change happen.” As the first race of the season drew closer, these dedicated coaches also provided race day prep, nutrition, and team building exercises at the Montclair Fire Department Headquarters while enlisting the help of professional bike mechanic Lou Cederberg to host lectures
for the team on proper bike maintenance at Pedal Montclair. Essex Offroad has also enjoyed support from both parents and sponsors from all across the state. “It was great seeing equal cheers for boys and girls and the friendship between kids from all 15 teams across NJ,” said Gloria Machnowski, mother of two of the racers.

A Colorful, Crunchy Salad
A
s days get longer and the weather gets warmer, take your meal outdoors for some tasty al fresco dining featuring a fresh and easyto-prepare salad. With minimal ingredients and maximum flavor, this combination of radicchio, California green ripe olives, chickpeas and Parmesan is sure to find its way into your seasonal meal occasions, from at-home dinners to garden parties. Boasting vibrant purple hues, radicchio not only looks beautiful on the plate but packs a unique and pleasing, bitter flavor that is complemented by the texture added to each bite by toasted sunflower seeds and chickpeas. Completing the salad are California Ripe Olives, which are grown by farming families across California. The California
green ripe olive is similar to the black ripe olive but features a more mild and buttery flavor profile. Find more tasty recipes at calolive.org. Radicchio Salad with Olives, Chickpeas and Parmesan Recipe courtesy of the Simply Recipes blog Prep time: 15 minutes Resting time: 10 minutes Serves: 4-6 1/4 cup sunflower seeds 1 large head radicchio (1012 ounces) 1 can (16 ounces) California green ripe olives, drained, rinsed and roughly chopped 1 can (16 ounces) chickpeas, drained and rinsed 1 cup finely grated Parmesan cheese, divided 3 tablespoons balsamic vinegar 4 tablespoons olive oil 1/4 teaspoon salt, plus additional, to taste 1/8 teaspoon fresh-ground
black pepper, plus additional, to taste Add sunflowers seeds to small, dry skillet. Toast over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until seeds are toasted around edges and smell fragrant. Transfer seeds to bowl to cool. Peel away and discard a layer or two of outer radicchio leaves if they look wilted or battered. Cut head of radicchio into quarters through root. Trim away root. Cut each quarter crosswise into strips, 1- to 1 1/2-inches thick. Transfer to large mixing bowl. Add olives, chickpeas and 3/4 cup cheese to bowl with radicchio. Whisk together balsamic vinegar, olive oil, salt and pepper. Pour over salad and toss gently until ingredients are evenly coated. If cheese clumps together, break apart with
spatula and stir in. Let salad stand at least 10 minutes, or up to an hour. Add additional salt and pepper, if desired. Serve salad on individual plates
or one shared platter. Top with remaining cheese and toasted sunflower seeds. Substitution: If radicchio is unavailable, try frisee, endive or another bitter green.
Note: Salad is best served within one hour of preparation, but can be stored in airtight container in fridge for several days.

Millburn Woman Records Testimonies Of Terminally Ill To Pass On Memories To Loved Ones
By Ann Marie Barron erry Glass of Millburn spends most of her days piecing together priceless memories for others to leave behind. Through her brainchild, Memories Live, a not-forprofit enterprise she runs independently in Millburn, she helps terminally ill people capture their experiences, personalities and wisdom through custom-made movies they can pass on to their loved ones. “It’s an opportunity for them to leave a piece of themselves behind, to share their personal history and family history and tell about what made them into who they are,’’ says Glass, 44, who holds a bachelor’s degree in fine arts with a focus on videography and photography and a minor in psychology from Rutgers University as well as a master’s degree in art therapy from Pratt Institute, New York City. The idea was hatched when a young mother in a neighboring community died of lung cancer, leaving behind a husband and children under the age of five. “It struck me, as a mother of young kids, that these kids would never know the sound of their mom’s voice,’’ Glass says. “They’d never know advice she had to share. I thought, ‘what if I could help people leave a piece of themselves behind?’’’ She then reached out to
a friend who had lost his mother when he was young. What did he think of the idea? He said it would have been a wonderful thing to have and he wished he’d had something like that to remember his mother by, she recalled. A few calls to area hospitals, hospices, nursing homes in the Millburn area, and Memories Live began. That was more than six years ago. Now a full-time job for Glass, most of the work gets done while her two children are in school, during evenings and on weekends. When she first began, she handed subjects a 20page questionnaire, though people told her it was a bit too much. “Now I have one page of questions for them,’’ she says. “I have all those other questions in my head, so it’s not so overwhelming.’’ Her clients’ average age is 55, and the youngest subject she’s filmed was 22 years old. “I really only offer this to adults,’’ she says, noting that it is most valuable to those who are leaving behind very young family members. “It’s for the child who didn’t’ get to know their parents,’’ she says. “They may see parts of their parents in themselves that they might not have been able to see, a dimple, the way they like their coffee; it will hopefully fill some kind
of void, preserve a memory. Those of us who are so blessed to have our loved ones here take it for granted.’’ July will mark her seventh year in business. To date, she’s filmed more than 130 individuals. The only requirement is for a subject to have a life-limiting, terminal illness. “I don’t ask for a doctor’s note,’’ she says. “I just go with ‘”honesty is the best policy.’’’ Glass said she’s willing to travel anywhere within a two-hour radius of her Millburn home. She funds her enterprise through grants, donations and an annual fundraiser, which took place last month. There is no charge for her service. When she sits down with a subject, usually in their home, the conversation is wide-ranging. “We’ll start talking about grandparents, memories of grandparents,’’ Glass explains. “Then, we’ll talk about their childhood, fond memories, schooling, college and advice for high school, advice for them to share about college, about your first job interview. We touch on every stage of life. Then, I’ll ask them about what makes them, them – favorite foods, season, music, holiday - all the things that mold them into who they are.’’ Glass then spends hours combining the interview footage with music and family photos, creating a

meaningful movie. The final product is delivered to the family in DVD format. The job can be at times painful and emotionally draining, she admits. “It affects me if I’m sitting across the camera from someone my age who has kids my kids’ age,’’ she says. “But, I walk into these people’s homes as a stranger and I leave as a friend. It’s really rewarding, and people are so grateful that the good outweighs the bad.’’ Glass is hoping to acquire some funding through a contest she entered with a local Keller Williams Real Estate Agency, which is offering to donate proceeds from their 100th home sale
to a local charity. Twelve non-profits are competing for $20,000 in prize money, to be divided among the top vote getters in an online contest. To vote for Memories Live, visit sueadler. com.
Anyone interested in having a movie made, should call 646-245-1698; email Glass at Kerry. glass@memorieslive.org; or visit the website, www. memorieslive.org.

Caldwell University Student Presents At NJ State House
re-med post-baccalaureate student and alumna Jessica Binkiewicz was among the 2017 class of the Governor’s STEM Scholars honored by the legislature in Trenton on March 23. Binkiewicz, of West Caldwell, and the other STEM scholars spoke before the state legislature, gubernatorial staff and policymakers. “It was a tremendous honor to have presented my research, be honored, and receive a joint legislative resolution on the floor of the Assembly at the State House,” she said. The prestigious program brings together the high school and post-secondary student leaders who would like to pursue a STEM-re-
lated major and career in New Jersey’s STEM economy. Binkiewicz led a research team of three high school students-one was from Wayne Hills High School and two from Paterson Charter High School for Science and Technology. They focused on determining the inhibitory effects of thieves’ and pulling oils on E. coli to evaluate their antibacterial properties in the hope of combating drug-resistant E. coli strains. They met on Saturday mornings in the university science labs. The Governor’s STEM Scholars program aims to educate the best and brightest students about science, technology, engineering and math opportunities in
New Jersey and to encourage the Garden State’s economic development. Binkiewicz said the most rewarding part of her experience was being able to educate those in the state legislature and governor’s staff. She explained that E. coli infections are life-threatening if untreated or if they do not respond to treatment and that there is highly drug-resistant E. coli strains that are present in the United States, including in New Jersey. She pointed out how crucial her research findings are, which focused on how thieves’ and pulling essential oils are effective antibacterial agents against E. coli, in the treatment of drug-resistant E. coli strains. “What makes essential
oils such a great alternative to allopathic treatments is not only are they cost-effective, easily accessible, and have very few side effects, but they also rarely induce microbial resistance unlike antibiotics,” she said. “It was amazing to see how excited, interested and appreciative they all were to learn about my research project and findings and allow them to see first-hand the vital importance of research and STEM education.” The year-long experience has given her the chance to network with other students and professionals in STEM fields. In addition to mentoring high school students, she had the chance to meet Nobel Prize winners and attend confer-

ences. “I truly enjoyed every minute of it,” she said. I am sad for the program to come to an end, but I know all the knowledge and leadership skills that I have gained from this experience will always stay with me and be used each day in my future career as a physician.”

by Frank Minutolo he Coach is a new column that will be run monthly for business owners and individuals working for companies who want to continue learning so they can advance their careers. The publishers believe that independent businesses are one of the most important factors in our country’s job growth and economic success. Some of the areas we will be covering in this column are: Problem Solving, Goal Setting, Increasing Sales, Motivation, Time Management, etc. If you have an area you would like addressed or have a question now you can ask Frank Minutolo, The Coach, by emailing him at tsg973@ aol.com. The topic for today is Problem Solving. Problem solving- must be written and not verbal. We have a specific approach to problem solving that I would like to share with you. When there is a problem it is important to be specific. Anyone in the
The Coach company claiming there is a problem needs to follow this procedure in detail. What is the problem? Explain with specifics. The most important step in problem solving is defining the problem properly. This is the most critical step. The problem must be clearly defined and oftentimes doing this leads to the resolution. In defining the problem we should explore all possible causes of the problem. Do not just list the symptoms but look deeply for the “root cause” of the problem. This oftentimes requires a detailed analysis of the situation. How does it affect our business? Does it have a material effect on our business? How? Is it something that is a personal annoyance to you as opposed to a business problem? Can we quantify it? How do we measure it? What is the dollar impact? If it’s time we are talking about, how much time?
Once you have done this then we expect you to explore solutions and list them. Don’t stop at one but list all the possible solutions you can think of. Do not jump to an obvious conclusion. Take time to list all possible solutions. Once this is done you can then determine which are the best solutions for the problem at hand. Final step: Which solution would you recommend and why? How to implement solutions? What is needed to implement the solution? Do you have the resources to put this idea into action? If it cannot be implemented then there is no reason to pursue it. Test the solution. If we put a solution in place, what are the negative results that can come from it? Sometimes the reaction or response to a solution may create another problem. This has to be considered. When this is complete and you have the best solution…Do it!

aldwell University honored two distinguished professionals at its Presidential Scholarship Gala on Fri., April 21 at Mayfair Farms in West Orange. The honorees were Philanthropist Michael Kambourakis and Founding Partner of Artisan Wealth Management Edward R. Collins ’98. The Gala is the signature fundraising event for Caldwell University and helps fund scholarships for deserving students. Kambourakis was integral to the founding of two nonprofits – the SEARCH Day Program in Ocean and the Dominican Republic Relief Organization. He began serving the community 20 years ago as a rotarian. He is the owner of Terzako Furs in Caldwell, and he, along with his design team, are celebrating 100 years of quality fashion design. The SEARCH Day Program assists those on the autism spectrum and embraces the vision that through collaborative partnerships, nurturing of students’ abilities, and specialized creative programming, individuals with autism
will experience a life enriched with personal fulfillment and positive integration within society. In 2013, Kambourakis chartered The DRRO. His vision was to help the impoverished people residing in the Dominican Republic by providing healthcare, education, housing, vocational training, clean water, food, clothing and other necessities of life. He recently oversaw the construction and completion of the DRRO Clinic. He and his team are now preparing for what will be the first of many medical missions, the focus of which will be Nutrition and Diabetes/ Cervical Cancer Screening. A dormitory is now nearing completion that will comfortably host 45 physicians and mission-related volunteers while they save countless lives thanks to the financial support of many generous donors. Collins founded Artisan Wealth Management with his partner David Lambert and they have grown to serve clients in 21 states across the country. Collins simplifies the often-complex areas of wealth man-
agement for his clients. He focuses on helping them enhance their financial literacy and work toward their financial goals and objectives. As a private wealth manager, he is the financial planning team leader for his clients. Collins began his professional career working with the United States Department of Justice, but transitioned to private wealth management planning in 1998. Collins has achieved advanced accreditation in the areas of financial planning, professional money management and wealth management. He graduated from Caldwell University with a double major in history psychology. He earned his Juris Doctorate from Seton Hall University School of Law. Caldwell University is a private, Catholic coed four-year university with a strong liberal arts core curriculum that enhances critical thinking and analytical reasoning.

IMPLANT DENTISTRY For over twenty years, implant dentistry has been a reliable option for patients with missing teeth. With the ability to support a crown, an implant procedure has the capacity to bypass drilling the adjacent teeth. Additionally, with the recent availability of mini implants, implant dentistry has expanded its utilization to anchoring both full and partial dentures for a more secure fit. As they provide an economic alternative, patients have been very receptive of mini implants, as they make eating and speaking with dentures much easier. Dr. Helen Chiu has always been involved in implant dentistry, making it an integrated part of her everyday practice. From replacing a single tooth, inserting crowns or bridges, securing dentures, to creating multiple, full-arch reconstructions, she performs every step of each process, surgical and restorative.
