History of our flag

he United States Flag


is the third oldest of
the National Standards of the world and is older
than the Union Jack of
Britain or the Tricolor of
France.
The flag was first authorized by Congress on June 14,
1777. This date is now
observed as Flag Day throughout America.
The flag was first flown
from Fort Stanwix, on the site
of the present city of Rome,
New York, on August 3, 1777.

It was first under fire for three


days later in the Battle of
Oriskany on August 6, 1777.
It was first decreed that
there should be a star and a
stripe for each state (or thirteen colonies) whereby there
were
thirteen
original
colonies at that time.
The three colors of the
Flag can be explained as follows: red is for valor, zeal and
fervency; the white for hope
purity, cleanliness of life, and
rectitude of conduct; the blue
stands for the color of heaven,

a reverence to God, loyalty,


sincerity, justice and truth.
The star (an ancient
symbol of India, Persia and
Egypt) symbolized dominion
and sovereignty, as well as
lofty aspirations. The constellation of the stars within the
union, one star for each state,
is emblematic of our Federal
Constitution, which reserves
to the States their individual
sovereignty except as to rights
delegated by them to the
Federal Government.

Am I a good man? Tell me Ive led a good life?


By Mark Charnet

hese were the questions asked by James


Ryan of his wife, in
the Spielberg movie, Saving
Private Ryan, aired this past
Memorial Day on AMC. He
was at the gravesite of
Captain John H. Miller, the
man sent to find him after his
2 brothers were killed during
the US led Allied Forces invasion of Normandy and a 3rd
brother killed in Burma. Matt
Damon played Ryan opposite
Tom Hanks portrayal of John
Miller, where Ryan eventually
understood the depth and
risks of Millers assignment to
locate him in France so he
could return home as the only
survivor of the Ryan brothers
gone to war.
Ryan understood the
awesome responsibility of living a life worth saving and the

lives that were lost bringing


him home. He was charged by
those who sacrificed everything, to succeed in his life, to
be a good man and live a good
life. The movie depicts that
Private Ryan did indeed do all
of the above, surrounded by
his family at the gravesite of
his fallen comrade, the commander of the mission, an
English school teacher, this
brave leader with his dying
breath, charged Ryan to
earn it!
I attended the Memorial
Day parade in Wayne last
week, to see my youngest son
Sam, march with the Wayne
Hills High School Band as
he carried the beat, clanging
the cymbals exactly on cue
for 3 miles. American Flags
were everywhere and patriotism was on high as each color

guard procession marched by


the grandstand. Veterans
were marching and folks
applauded as the events
unfolded in front of us.
Spectators thanked the
marchers for their service to
our country, their service to
their communities and the
sacrifices they endured, so
the rest of us can live free
from harm and in peace.
Servicemen and women, volunteer firefighters, emergency medical service workers, first aid volunteers,
ambulance drivers, sheriff
officers, police officers and
other dedicated workers and
volunteers, all marching
together to honor those who
lost their lives in service to
their country and those who
continue to serve their country and their neighborhoods
through volunteerism.

So now I must ask you,


the reader, if you are honoring
those who died defending our
way of life by leading an honorable life worth dying for?
How would those men who
landed in Normandy, to face
bullets and bombs, judge your
life that many of them died to
defend and keep safe? Would
you make them proud or
would their sacrifice have
been in vain based solely on
the example of how you have
lived your life? Its an introspective point to ponder and I
suggest that you do so for a
moment, asking yourself the
same two questions that James
Ryan asked his wife: Am I a
good man and have I led a
good life? The important
thing to realize is that if you
honestly answer the questions
in the negative, there is plenty of time to change your
answer by doing those things
that will make your life a great
one as well as being a better
person. One form of measure
is the value you place in helping others where you will
incur no economic benefit.
Another, would be determined by the financial assistance you provide to others
and a 3rd would be based on
the personal time you invest
to benefit others.
Financially speaking, virtually everyone can afford to
write a check, in an amount
not injurious to your budget,
to help other less fortunate

people. Two things I can attest


to is that whatever you selflessly give away, it is returned
to you and much more. Not
the same day, month, year or
even decade, but, it will come
back and in a much larger
amount! The second is, you
will feel amazingly wealthy as
a result of the action to give to
others in much greater need
than yourself. There was an ad
slogan years ago that said,
Try it youll like it!; when
it comes to charitable giving
the same slogan would apply
today!
My financial advice for
today is two-fold: live below
your means and pay yourself
first, even before your other
bills. Live on less to save
more, invest more and give
more. One day you may find
that your discipline, sacrifice
and consistency has paid-off
handsomely for all concerned,
both within your family circle
as well as outside your circle.
When you look at your spouse
later in life to ask the questions that James Ryan asked of
his, she may well respond in
the extreme affirmative stating you are a good man,
adding that she is proud of you
for living a good life and providing your family with the
example of a good an honorable life too!

History of our flag


continued from page 1

The symbolism of the Flag


was thus interpreted by
Washington: We take the
stars from Heaven, the red
from our mother country, separating it by white stripes,
thus showing that we have
separated from her, and the
white stripes shall go
down to posterity representing Liberty.
In 1791, Vermont, and in
1792, Kentucky were admitted to the Union and the
number of stars and stripes
was raised to fifteen in correspondence. As other states
came into the Union it
became evident there would
be too many stripes. So in
1818 Congress enacted that
the number of stripes be
reduced and restricted henceforth to thirteen representing
the thirteen original states;
while a star should be added

for each succeeding state.


That law still holds true today.
The name Old Glory
was given to our National Flag
on August 10, 1831, by
Captain William Driver of the
brig Charles Doggett.
The Flag was first carried
in battle at the Brandywine,
September 11, 1777. It first
flew over foreign territory on
January 28, 1778, at Nassau,
Bahama Islands; Fort Nassau
having been captured by the
American in the course of the
war for independence. The
first foreign salute to the flag
was rendered by the French
Admiral LaMotte Piquet, off
Quiberon Bay, February 13,
1778.
The United States Flag
is unique in the deep and
noble significance of its message to the entire world, a
message of national independence with individual lib-

erty, idealism and patriotism.


It symbolizes national independence and popular sovereignty. It is not the Flag of a
reigning family or royal
house, but of 205 million free
people welded into a Nation,
one and inseparable, united
not only by community of
interest, but by vital unity of
sentiment and purpose; a
Nation distinguished for the
clear individual conception of
its citizens alike of their
duties and their privileges,
their obligations and their
rights.
The American flag
incarnates for all mankind
the spirit of Liberty and the
glorious ideal of human
Freedom; not the freedom of
unrestraint or the liberty of
license, but a unique ideal of
equal opportunity for life, liberty and the pursuit of happicontinued on page 8

ness, safeguarded by the stern


and lofty principles of duty,
righteousness with justice,
and attainable by obedience
to self-imposed laws.
Floating from the lofty
pinnacle
of
American
Idealism, it is a beacon of
enduring hope, like the
famous Bartholdi Statue of
Liberty enlightening the

World to the oppressed of all


lands. It floats over a wondrous assemblage of people
from every racial stock of the
earth whose united hearts
constitute an indivisible and
invincible force for the
defense and succor of the
downtrodden.
It embodies the essence
of patriotism. Its spirit is the
spirit of the American nation.

SUMMER REGISTRATION going on now!

Teaching kids to swim

wimming is a popular
activity once temperatures heat up. Millions
of people flock to beaches to
dip their toes in the water,
and scores more spend afternoons exploring the depths of
backyard pools.
Upon being introduced
to the water, younger children may be somewhat apprehensive, as swimming in
pools or oceans can be intimidating to youngsters. Parents
should exercise extreme caution when teaching kids to
swim, as the Centers for
Disease
Control
and
Prevention notes that more
than one in five fatal drowning victims are children
under the age of 14.

Although swimming can


be dangerous, experts in pediatric and adolescent medicine affirm that participation
in formal swimming lessons
can reduce the risk of drowning considerably.
Children whose parents
swim may be eager to join
mom and dad in the pool.
The following are some tips
for parents as they start to
develop a plan to teach their
kids to swim.
Wait until the child is
developmentally ready. The
American Association of
Pediatrics recommends that
parents wait until after a
childs fourth birthday to
teach them how to swim.
This is when children have

developed enough to understand commands and have


the motor skills required for
swimming. At this point, parents can register children for
swimming lessons with
trained instructors.

Introduce playing in the


water early on. Parents
should make sure their children grow accustomed to
playing in the water. Many
kids start to like the water

How to protect your pets from extreme heat

xtreme heat can be


unpleasant for anyone,
and pets are no exception. While its easy for men
and women to detect if their
bodies are responding negatively to heat, those warning
signs may not be so prevalent
in pets, who may suffer in
silence as the mercury continues to rise.
Pet owners must pay special attention to their pets on
hot days, which the Humane
Society of the United States
notes can be both uncomfortable and dangerous for pets. In
an effort to help pet owners
protect their pets from the
summer heat, the HSUS

leave them at home inside a


comfortably air conditioned
room where they wont be
vulnerable to rising temperatures.
Change pets exercise
regimen. Pet owners who
make sure their pets get daily
exercise should change such
routines when temperatures
are on the rise. Midday walks
or jogs should be switched to
evenings or early mornings,
when temperatures tend to be
at their most moderate. In
addition, cut back on the time
spent exercising, as pets may
have trouble breathing on hot
days. When taking your dog
for a jog or a run in the sum-

offers the following tips


to pet owners who want to
keep their pets cool and safe
this summer.
Dont leave pets in a
parked car. The temperature
inside a vehicle can quickly
approach dangerous levels on
hot days, so pet owners should
never leave their pets in
parked cars, even if they leave
the air conditioning on and
the engine running. The
HSUS notes that on an 85degree day, temperatures
inside cars with slightly
cracked windows can reach
102 degrees in as little as
10 minutes. Rather than taking pets with you on car trips,

mertime, do so on the grass,


avoiding asphalt, as hot
asphalt can do significant
damage to your pets paws.
Be mindful of your breed.
Dog owners should recognize

the heat better than others.
Short-nosed breeds have a
harder time in extreme heat
because their shorter airways

as dogs with longer noses. In

Teaching kids to swim


continued from page 9

around the time they become


toddlers, when bathing introduces them to splashing and
bobbing toys. Use these
opportunities to take your
child into the water, so he or
she acclimates to feeling the
water on his or her body and
face. Kids can sit with adults
on pool steps or retrieve toys
from within reach. An adult
always should be nearby.
Wait before submerging
kids. The American Red
Cross says to wait until a
child is around age three
before submerging him or her
under the water. Young kids
can swallow a lot of water,
which can be dangerous.
Sputtering water also may
turn a child off to swimming
completely.
Begin in calm water.
The open ocean can be
daunting, even to adults. So

Safer

Better

it might be better to begin


swimming lessons in a calm
body of water, such as a lake
or pool.
Invest in formal swimming lessons. Parental perceptions and anxieties may
interfere with parents abilities to properly teach their
children how to swim.
Therefore, hire third-party
professional instructors to

teach kids to swim. The Red


Cross can put you in touch
with certified swimming
instructors who also are
knowledgeable in first aid.
As children become
more confident in the water,
they can practice swimming
strokes and submerging
themselves for underwater
swimming.

How to revitalize an aging sofa

ouches are an important component of


living rooms and
dens, serving as comfortable
places to relax. Sofas will be
sat on, slept on and, if young
children are in the house,
sometimes jumped on.
Homeowners looking for
new sofas often prioritize
comfort, but they also want a
sofa that can withstand the
test of time. Although theres
no magic formula, a sturdy
sofa should have a lifespan of
around 10 years. According to
Houzz, quality sofas should
feel solid and heavy. They
should have joints that are
double doweled and fitted
with corner blocks that are
both glued and screwed (not

stapled) into place. Over


time, even the sturdiest couch
can start to show its age and
look a bit past its prime. Dont
fret. There are some easy ways
to give that aging sofa a
makeover.
Begin by reviewing the
service agreement. If you purchased an extended warranty
or protection plan on the furniture, you may be eligible for
repairs at no cost. Stores will
restrict just what is covered
under such service plans, and
regular wear and tear may be
excluded. However, rips, certain stains or opening seams
may be eligible for repair.
Covered costs means not
having to spend any money
out of pocket.

Cleaning may be another


simple fix. Check with the
manufacturers guidelines for
cleaning. Certain fabrics
require specific cleaning solutions. If you are ever unsure
about what to use to clean the
sofa, use a mild solution of
soap and water in an inconspicuous spot first. Many carpet and upholstery cleaning
solutions can be used on furniture. Use sparingly and test for
color-fastness before cleaning
the entire couch. For those
who are skittish about cleaning the sofa on their own, consult with a professional upholstery cleaning service.
Slipcovers are another
option to revitalizing the look

How to revitalize an aging sofa


continued from previous page

of an aging sofa. Fitted slipcovers slide right over the


existing couch cushions and
can change an outdated sofa
into one that looks brand new.
Measuring correctly and buying accordingly will help
achieve a seamless look.
There also are some easy
do-it-yourself fixes for couches that may be sagging or
looking deflated. If seat cushions can be removed, consider
placing firm cardboard or
wood on top of the springs
to provide more firmness.
Cushions may begin to sag
when the springs underneath
begin to lose their elasticity. If
the cushions are the problem,
replacing the foam in the
cushions or the loose-fill stuff-

ing in the pillows can breathe


new life into the couch. Foam
can begin to disintegrate and
lose its shape and integrity.
Craft stores, home improvement centers and fabric stores
often carry foam products, but

those you cant find might be


available via online orders.
Do not give up on a sofa
just yet. It may be repaired or
given a fresh look to make it
appear like new.

How to protect your pets from extreme heat


continued from page 12

to skin cancer than other


dogs, making it imperative
that owners of such dogs
reduce their exposure to the
sun on hot days when the UV
index is especially dangerous.
Let dogs inside. Doghouses might not be as prevalent as they once were, but
many owners still keep doghouses in their backyards so
their four-legged friends have
a place to relax outdoors on
lazy afternoons. But doghouses can be similar to parked
cars on especially hot days,
making rising temperatures
feel even hotter. Let dogs
hang out inside in an air conditioned room on hot days to
reduce their risk of heatstroke.
Learn to recognize the

signs of heatstroke. Pets suffering from heatstroke will


exhibit certain symptoms,
and pet owners who learn to
recognize those symptoms can
do something about them
before its too late. Heavy
panting, glazed eyes, rapid
heartbeat, difficulty breathing, excessive thirst, and lack
of coordination are just a few
potential indicators that
a pet is suffering from heatstroke. Animals that are very
old, very young, overweight,
and unaccustomed to prolonged exercise, as well as
those who have heart or
respiratory conditions, are
especially susceptible to
heatstroke. Learn more
about pets and heatstroke at
www.humanesociety.org.
Extreme heat can be

dangerous to pets, who often


suffer in silence when dealing
with the consequences of
extreme heat. Pet owners
who take certain precautions
and learn to recognize signs of
a pet struggling with heat can
better protect their animals
from succumbing to rising
temperatures.
Dr. Matthew Krupnick is the
owner of the Pequannock Animal Hospital. He grew up in
Kinnelon and is happy to be
home with his wife, three cats,
and two dogs to provide quality and compassionate care for
pets in the community. The Pequannock Animal Hospital is
located at 591 Newark Pompton Turnpike in Pompton
Plains. You can reach the hospital by calling 973-616-0400.
