By NORA CARNEVALEThe Sun

The Montgomery EmergencyMedical Services squad blooddrive held on Feb. 1 collectedabout 19 pints of blood, all in sup-port of the University MedicalCenter of Princeton at Plains-boro.

We started the blood drive to-ward the end of 2012. We specifi-cally set up the drive to donate insupport of UMCPP because thevast majority, about 60 percent, ofour patients get transported thereas opposed to Somerset MedicalCenter, said John Connacher,president of the Montgomery

EMS.Last year, the EMS collected a

total of about 100 pints of blood.The squad aims to hold fourdrives throughout each year.Since Montgomery residents arefrequently treated at the hospital,the cooperation is mutually bene-ficial. However, the relationshipbetween UMCPP and Mont-

gomery EMS is not limited toblood donation. Since Mont-

gomery EMS is a completely vol-unteer organization, it receivesguidance and instruction fromvolunteer medical directors whowork at UMCPP.

Our volunteer medical direc-tors will provide coaching, and

come to meetings and reviewcalls that we have been out on.They make suggestions of im-provements and provide a kind ofcontinuous training to us, Con-nacher said.

Another Montgomery EMS

event held in February is aspaghetti dinner fundraiser tobenefit its cadets. Cadets aremostly high school studentsunder age 18 who volunteer to gothrough EMT class and take therequired exams. Since residentsof New Jersey are required to beat least 16 years old to become anEMT, groups of cadets typicallybegin with the EMS at age 16 andstay through 18. Cadets ride alongwith adult EMS members and arealways under direct supervision.They learn about the industrythrough the hands-on experience.

A lot of our students come and

ride with us, whether they are in-terested in a career in medicineor they just want to try thingsout. A lot of people who volunteerwith us go on to be doctors ornurses as a result. Lots of otherthings that you do when youre 16or 17 years old pale in comparisonto riding along, Connacher said.

Adult members of the Mont-gomery EMS squad also take

EMT training, and drivers havetheir own certification curricu-lum to complete before they areallowed to drive an ambulance.No matter who applies for mem-bership, the committee meets andthe police department conducts abackground check to determinewhether they are an acceptableaddition to the team.

The squad attorney, also a vol-unteer, reviews new member cri-teria as well.

Our organization is a busi-ness, but we dont charge, so wehave to fundraise. Were a littlebit more than just answering 911

calls. We are lucky enough tohave enough people to get out andsupport community events andsporting events in town that areall manned by volunteers, Con-nacher said.

He feels that one of the best as-pects of living in Montgomery isthe level of volunteerism andcommunity support.

Looking forward to spring,Montgomery EMS has purchasedtwo bicycles for use by squadmembers to improve access to pa-

tients if they are on trails or inthe park. The squad is also hop-ing to participate in the town-ships Earth Day celebration.

Montgomery EMS responded to 123 callsin January. We covered 100 percent of ourprimary calls and 19 of our 20 backup calls(a backup call is when a second or third 9-1-1 emergency happens during our first callrequiring a second or third ambulance andcrew to respond). We had one mutual aidcall into Princeton, and they responded toone mutual aid request into our township.

Of the calls, 19.4 percent required Ad-

vanced Life Support. The top three calltypes for the month were: sick person,motor vehicle accident and chestpain.

In January, Montgomery EMS membersvolunteered 3,264 hours of service to thecommunity.

Best of luck to Annapurna Vadaparty,Brendan Nikovics, Zeeshan Chughtai,Glen Hill, and Jurij Mykolajtchuk whostarted their EMT training in January.

Congratulations to Walter Johnson andRishab Lal who obtained their state EMTcertification, and to Kevin Mackiw who

completed driver training and became ourlatest driver.Montgomery EMS is not affiliated with

any hospital nor a municipal entity. We are100 percent volunteer and do not charge forour services. We rely solely on our volun-teers and the donations we receive.

The nations second-largest

drugstore chain took a stand

last week: By October, it will no

longer sell tobacco products at its 7,600

stores.

To that, we say good for you, CVS,

even if you are being inconsistent in

your message.CVS Caremark unit is a major

pharmacy benefits manager for busi-

nesses and the U.S. governments

Medicare program. As such, it has be-

come a major health-care business,

trailing only Walgreen Co. as the

largest pharmacy chain in the country.

CVS made a bold, precedent-setting

move, said Dr. Risa Lavizzo-Mourey,the chief executive officer of the

Robert Wood Johnson Foundation,

because it acknowledges that phar-

macies have become health-care set-

tings.

Analysts believe CVS decision

could convince Walgreen Co., Rite Aid

Corp. the third-largest pharmacy

chain and other pharmacies

throughout the country to make a sim-

ilar move to help eliminate smoking in

the United States.

Piggybacking the decision to halt to-

bacco sales, CVS executives said the

company would replace some of the

lost sales through smoking cessation

programs.

Its hard to argue with CVS deci-

sion, as any move to improve public

health has to be seen as positive. But

its a little hypocritical, dont you

think?

If the reason why CVS will stop sell-

ing tobacco is because it believes it is a

health-care setting, then shouldnt it

stop selling other unhealthy items

such as greasy potato chips, sugarysoft drinks and other processed foods

as well? Does this country also not

have an obesity problem?

One step at a time, you say? That

makes sense. Smoking first; obesity

second. Sounds like a plan.

In all seriousness, good for CVS.

Good for taking a stand that, even if it

might improve the bottom line in thelong run, will surely hurt it in the

short term.

Other pharmacies should follow

suit. Health-care settings should

promote healthy living.

in our opinion

Nosmoking here!Sure, it might be slightly hypocritical, but good for CVSfor taking a stand

Your thoughts

What are your thoughts on the move byCVS to not sell tobacco products at theirstores? What role should private busi-nessess have in health-care initiatives?How about public entities such as themunicipality? Share your thoughts with aletter to the editor.

By NORA CARNEVALEThe Sun

The Montgomery TownshipCommittee meeting was filledwith spirit on Feb. 6, as the com-mittee honored the MontgomeryMidgets Pop Warner Cheerlead-ers, who took home their secondnational championship on Dec. 13at Disney World. Their winningtwo-and-a-half minute routinewas comprised of tumbling,stunting, cheer and dance.

Assemblyman Jack Ciattarelliread a congratulatory resolutionfrom the state and presented each

cheerleader of the 30-memberteam with a copy.The team of seventh and

eighth graders also placed first inthe Jersey Valley ConferenceCompetition, New Jersey StateCompetition and Eastern RegionCheer Competition prior to par-ticipating in nationals at theESPN Wide World of Sports Com-plex competition in Decemberand winning the title of 2013 PopWarner Midget Level 2 Large Na-tional Cheer Champions. To

achieve the honor, the team hadto outscore more than 300 teamsfrom seven divisions across thecountry.

None of this would be possi-ble without the support of yourparents, Ciattarelli said.

After the resolution, a publiccomment made about the trafficissues surrounding the area be-tween Orchard Road and Route

518 launched a discussion aboutthe process involved in the deci-sion to build the connector roadand what the benefits are.

The residents concernstemmed from a desire to keepthe townships best interests inmind. He felt the traffic issuesand functionality of the roadhave not been resolved and willultimately impact the towns busi-ness development.

The Herring Properties devel-opment on Orchard Road wasalso a center point of his frustra-tion.

He explained that the connec-

tor roadway was meant to servicethe traffic from the large com-plex, but traffic reports underesti-mated the amount of congestionthe township would see in thatarea.

Orchard Road and 518 is goingto be a mess every morning. Weneed more options, he said.

Something needs to be done.We need to get something onpaper that explains what the costis and why it is beneficial,Deputy Mayor Chris Sugden said.

In other news: The committee also passed a

resolution to commit $45,000 fromthe affordable housing trust fundto administrative services by theaffordable housing administra-tive agent.

The deer management pro-gram set in place in Montgomeryhas been requested to be expand-ed. Representatives from Hills-

borough, Montgomery and Sour-lands council met at the SomersetCounty Parks Commission to ex-pand the deer management pro-gram into the county portion ofSourlands Preserve in Mont-gomery. It was reported thatSourlands council has requestedthe support of MontgomeryTownship in this endeavor be-cause it is pleased with the train-ing of the hunters and the effi-ciency of the program.

Also mentioned was the town-ships success in snow removalover the past few challengingweeks. In the winter of 2012-2013,

Montgomery saw 20 inches ofsnow.This winter, the township has

already seen a total of 46 inches ofsnow. The township still has plen-ty of salt remaining for snow-storms, and the committee com-mended the police and publicworks departments for their tire-less efforts working through thenight to effectively remove snowand ensure residents safety.
