In the past five years, the financial support has allowed the squad to provide automatic external defibrillators, or AEDs, to the township’s police and fire departments. According to the American Heart Association, many deaths can be prevented with early defibrillation. The squad was also able to build an addition to its Glen Avenue headquarters and to purchase a new ambulance with state-of-the-art features. However, time is an equally important commodity to give, and residents are urged to consider making a greater contri- bution by joining the first aid squad. The squad is offering its annual Emergency Medical Tech- nician (EMT) training course beginning next week. Each year residents enrolling in the course receive approximately 110 hours of classroom and “hands on” training that prepares them to take the National Registry of Emergency Medical Techni- cian Certification Exam. The course is offered to residents at no cost. All the instruc- tors, doctors, paramedics and other lecturers donate their time. After four months of coursework, students become proba- tionary members of the MSHVFAS. At this point they begin riding on the squad. Teamed with experienced New Jersey cer- tified EMTs, probationary members can grow comfortable with their newly acquired skills and eventually take and pass their state exam. The benefits of volunteering are many. Since its inception in 1958, the local squad has always trained its own volunteers.

The par- ent of a young child should meet the child’s teacher and have the child meet the teacher. In addition, arranging for the child to meet neighborhood children enables the child to form relationships with classmates over the summer. Such measures can help decrease the child’s feelings of being left out, Clauss-Ehlers said. “And for the parent, it’s going to increase the sense of knowing Working hard to provide you with where the child is going.
