Local Business Man Helps Thousands


In Mission To Build Health Clinic

By Cheryl Conway
hree years ago Dr. Michael Kambourakis, founder
and president of the Dominican Republic Relief
Organiz-ation (DRRO) and owner of Terzako Furs in
Caldwell, dreamed of building a health clinic to help impoverished Dominicans and Haitians living in the Dominican
Republic.
With the clinic 80 percent completed, Kambourakis is
reaching out to others to make that dream a reality. The
DRRO Dinner Dance is set for Thurs., Nov. 12, 6:30 p.m. to
11 p.m., at The Grove in Cedar Grove, to honor two international humanitarians and raise the remaining dollars to complete the clinic.
Come to the dinner dance fundraiser, says
Kambourakis, to help us out. This is the best cause; its
from heart to heart. We are going to deliver American health
on a day to day basis to people down there.
The theme of the dinner dance event is "Daring to
Dream" based on how Kambourakis, and his two honorees international humanitarians Dr. Ernani Sadural and Dr.
Karien Ziegler, all began their humanitarian work with a
dream, a dream to make a difference by saving lives. Dinner,
dancing and a silent auction will be held.
Sadural serves as the director of Global Health at Saint
Barnabas Healthcare; and Ziegler is chair of Rotary
International Polio Plus Eradication.
A third-generation business owner of Terzako Furs in
Caldwell for the past 40 years, Kombourakis always had a
passion for fashion, and also studied to be a psychologist.
But it was about 12 years ago, since 2004, when he began
missionary work in Santo Domingo and Haiti, building
schools, refurbishing toilets and providing clean water in his
humanitarian efforts to improve the lives of thousands for

Impoverished Dominicans and refugee Haitians.


While he enjoys his fur business, Kombourakis says he
had to return to his roots of helping people when it comes to
health. He was reminded of this when his workers who were
from the Dominican Republic invited him and his wife to
visit their homeland. The visit opened Kombourakis eyes
toward the need in that region.
I was really shocked, says Kombourakis. I never saw
such poverty; I never saw such misery.
At that time, Kombourakis says I had 3,000 customers;
thought I could help. So he started by sending a box of
needed items; that turned into boxes with stores donating.
His donations then went to Haiti and his involvement grew
as he started to help in other ways like a water project to help
bring in clean water to people living there, followed by two

Treating pain associated with cancer

ain is not always a side effect of


cancer, but many people do experience pain while battling this potentially deadly disease. People who have

been diagnosed with cancer should know


that they dont have to accept pain as a normal part of their disease, and there are plenty of options at their disposal to alleviate
their pain.
According to the American Cancer
Society, all pain can be treated, and most of
it can be controlled or relieved. How physicians treat pain will depend on the type of
pain and its cause, but the following are
some options doctors may discuss with their
patients who are experiencing pain.
Medication: The type of medication doctors prescribe will depend on a host of factors, including the level of pain their patients
are dealing with. Non-opioids like acetaminophen, aspiring or ibuprofen may be used to
treat mild to moderate pain, though patients
who are having surgery or receiving
chemotherapy may need to steer clear of
non-steroidal, anti-inflammatory drugs
(NSAIDs) like aspirin and ibuprofen

because they can slow blood clotting.


Opioids, which include oxycodone and morphine, may be prescribed for moderate to
severe pain. Pain caused by swelling or
pressure may be treated by prescription
steroids, such as prednisone and dexamethasone.
Surgery: The ACS notes that surgery may
be an option to reduce pain associated with
cancer. Nerve pathways carry pain impulses
to the brain, but when these impulses are
interrupted, they never make it to the brain
and the feelings of pain and pressure cannot
be felt. To block these pathways, neurosurgeons may cut nerves, but such surgery is
irreversible, so cancer patients should expect
their physicians and surgeons to explore
other avenues before recommending surgery.
Epidural: An epidural is a method of pain
relief in which medicine is injected into the
space around the layers of the spine. Doctors

may implant a pump so they can get pain


medicines right around the nerves, and the
treated area may experience numbness or
weakness as a result.
Nerve block: Another way to treat pain
associated with cancer is via a nerve block,
a procedure in which a local anesthetic is
injected into or around a nerve. If doctors do
not choose that option, the anesthetic, which
is often combined with a steroid, may be
injected into the space around the spinal
cord to block pain. While the injection
makes it impossible for the nerve to relay
pain to the brain, the nerve block may cause
muscle paralysis or a loss of all feeling in
the affected area.
Managing pain associated with cancer
can be difficult, but patients dealing with
such pain can discuss the many pain treatment options at their disposal with their
physicians.

How to find the right oncologist for you

he day a person is diagnosed with


cancer is a life-altering moment.
Many people rely on support networks made up of family and friends to

help them during their cancer treatments,


and such support networks can extend to
patients choice of oncologists as well.
Oncology is a branch of medicine
involved in the diagnosis and treatment of
tumors. The term oncology is derived
from the Greek word onco, meaning bulk
or mass. Upon diagnosing patients with cancer, oncologists explain the type of cancer
patients have and explain the various treatment options available to patients.
Oncologists also are on call to answer any
questions and are often the first people
patients turn to when they have questions
about their disease.
Taking an active role in their cancer treatment can help patients feel more in control
of their situations, and patients choice of
oncologist is one of the first big decisions
they must make.
Start with a referral. Begin by speaking
with your primary care physician. He or she

may have a list of recommended oncologists


or ones affiliated with nearby hospitals.
If a loved one has battled cancer
in the past, ask him or her for
a recommendation.
Do your research. The goal is to find an
oncologist who specializes in your form of
cancer and has a good treatment success
rate. Do not be afraid to ask about success
statistics and ask for prior patients names so
you can get their opinions on the care they
received. Look up the doctors credentials as
well. For example, HealthGrades.com provides information on malpractice and disciplinary history.
Consider a group practice. As with other
medical providers, some oncologists work
together in full partnerships with other
oncologists. Choosing this type of provider
may enable you to gain the benefit of the
doctors collaborative experience.
Judge communication style and compas-

sion levels. Does the doctor answer your


questions in a manner that fits with your
personality? Do you feel supported by the
doctor and that he or she exudes empathy?
Oncologists need to walk the fine line
between qualified medical provider and
friend.
Look into insurance coverage. While you
may want to go with one particular doctor,
you must investigate if your insurance covers that particular oncologist. Otherwise,
out-of-pocket expenses may be considerably
high.
Look into the hospital. Consider the quality of care at the hospital where the oncologist will treat you as a patient. Hospital quality can matter based on the type of care
given, proximity to the patients home and
reputation.
A qualified, compassionate oncologist
can make it easier to navigate a cancer
diagnosis.

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.

or three different projects every year.
Everythings from the heart, he says,
involving himself in feeding the kids, forming a baseball team, providing clothing and
supplies, medical supplies and building a
large fish pond five years ago that turned
into a tilapia farm providing fresh tilapia to
people in the village.
He also sent tables and chairs donated by
Montville schools; helped with orphanages
there; held a computer drive sending computers and laptops to schools; clothing and
supplies drive by Glen Ridge High School;
equipment drives to collect soccer balls.
His efforts, started at zero and turned
into a heat wave of thousands, he says.
Every year theres something else to help
with. We didnt have the money; we started
with one dollar; now everyone has water and
electricity because of us.
Weve become the biggest donors,
sending 50,000 to 60,000 pounds of goods
every year. His customers have been a great
support by bringing him goods and supplies
regularly; he has also gotten support from
the local rotary.

As member of the Rotary of the


Caldwells, Kambourakis established the
DRRO as a registered 501 (c)(3) organization three years ago.
A humanitarian project that started with
only six to seven people has gained support
from so many people, customers, other businesses and foundations.
I said were going to build a clinic. It is
80 percent finished, located at La Guneta,
Amina with five acres and four buildings.
There will be a kitchen and facility for doctors, up to 25 dormitories for doctors and
nurses to stay. The clinic will be one floor
with high ceilings and will be used to provide free health care to impoverished
Dominicans and refugee Haitians.
Health care does not exist, he says,
with polio, HIV, typhoid, tuberculosis, mental illness, malnutrition, diabetes, non-healing wounds being untreated and non-prevented.
There have been missions sent already to
give inoculations and help children by providing hearing aids.
The new health clinic will provide cervical screening for women once equipment is

purchased.
Weve applied to foundations for monitors for equipment.
Working on the building has been the
main focus recently with painters, window
installation and roofers on site. Hurricane
proof, the building is made out of aluminum
and sheet rock.
In the main building, the windows and
doors are in place and the roof is on.
Contractors are working on the interior
space now.
The outside is spectacular, he says.
Its like a four-star hotel. A priority is also
to get 20,000 gallons of water to the site.
Its been very dry there, says
Kambourakis; may need to drill for water.
Behind the clinic compound, he has been
planting and now provides fresh bananas,
mangoes and papayas. Its like an oasis, he
says.
Some local supporters of the clinic
include Barnabas Health, LIG Global,
Caldwell University, Rutgers Medical and
numerous rotary and Kiwanis clubs.
The clinic will serve all impoverished,
no matter what their nationality, as stated

on the website. It will serve as a base of


operations for heart, hearing, prosthetic, and
dental missions. It will offer light triage and
nutritional education. But most of all, it will
bring healthcare to those who have nothing.
Kambourakis says we will be training
people down there. Local doctors, nurses
and medical assistants in NJ such as
Hackettstown Medical Center and Robert
Wood Johnson Medical Center will be sent
on missions work in different departments at
the clinic such as special surgery for orthopedics.
The next two the three months will concentrate on finishing the clinic. So far,
$380,000 has been used to construct the
clinic which will include a kitchen, laundry
room and dormitories. Still needed is
$95,000 to complete the compound.
The plan is to hold a ribbon cutting of the
new health clinic in February 2016 with a
contingent of 40 to 50 people made up of
local representatives such as Congressman
Rodney Frelinghuysen, rotary members,
representatives from the medical centers,
other leaders, nurses and possibly some stucontinued on next page

Mission To Build Health Clinic...

dents.
Once the clinic is running, Kambourakis
says his goal is to have separate rooms and
departments to handle medical issues like
one for hearing issues, one for dental, another for cervical cancer screening, diabetes,
inoculations.
Its going to be a beautiful thing, he
says. Those in the medical field are going to
be a great help, and at the same time
theyre going to learn a lot down there as
there are a lot of diseases.
The undertaking is huge, with
Kambourakis visiting atleast six to seven
times a year, but the end result will be an
incredible gift to the people in the
Dominican Republic.
Kombourakis efforts are unrelated to the
people of the Dominican as he says Im
Greek; Im a Greek immigrant, coming
over to the U.S. as a student. I was always a
giver. Kambourakis started out in psychology and special education and was involved
with children with disabilities before getting
involved in his familys fur business.

It came back to haunt me that I didnt


fulfill my dream, he says. I went back to
my roots to helping children and helping
with disabilities, back to health, its me, Im
there. Its just Godsend. If you believe in
mitzva, if you believe in destiny. My life is
giving, supporting and helping. If you leave
a little legacy, if you leave a little building, if
you can help. Theres a big need down
there.
One way of supporting the new clinic is
to attend the upcoming dinner dance, open
to anyone, with all proceeds being tax
deductible.
To attend the dinner dance, contact
Kambourakis
at
973-226-7303;
DrMike@dominicanRelief.org. For sponsorship opportunities and more information,
visit www.dominicanrelief.org.
Together, were building a healthy
future. Together, lets finish the clinic.

Donations are also being accepted.
Requested is summer clothing for boys, men
and women like short sleeve shirts and athletic shoes.

Children Dress Up To Help The Less Fortunate

By Jason Cohen
s children get ready to dress up for Halloween in a
few weeks, it is important to remember that October
is breast cancer awareness month. Florham Park
resident Karen Casolaro, who underwent a double mastectomy in 2009, beat breast cancer and now helps others overcome similar obstacles.
Casolaro was overwhelmed with support from the community and in 2010, founded Halos For Angels to help those
less fortunate.
Halos For Angels, Inc. launched on Jan. 7, 2010, a 501(c)
3, a nonprofit charity that helps community families in need
due to sudden tragedy. It offers temporary support and services until the families are back on their feet once again.
Halos For Angels, Inc. is for the people, Casolaro said.
A place where one goes to give and to receive through love.
For no one should go through sudden tragedy without personal connection, support and love of an angel.
Casolaro, who is a mother of five children- with children
in Hanover Park High and Ridgedale Middle in Florham
Park- said the support through her childrens friends and
families and the schools, was huge. Hanover Park High
School has been the charitys main support system.
The high school has a display in their lobby that honors
volunteers, promotes upcoming events, posts community
outreach opportunities and volunteer signups. Thomas

Roofing

Callanan, principal of Hanover Park High was Halos For


Angels, 2015 Honorary Outstanding Volunteer Angel; he
was presented an award at the charitys annual Love Is In
The Air gala. Also presented with awards that evening
were: Ginny Akhoury of Florham Park, Kaitlyn Spada of
Florham Park, Chuck Palmisano of East Hanover and
Melanie Tomiziki of Tivoli Design in Madison.
Halos for Angels will hold Fright Factor, which runs Oct.
2-31, Fridays through Sundays. The attraction is a zombieinfested walkthrough 3,000 square feet with kid-friendly
tours, a treasure hunt, face painting, pumpkin picking and
design, festival games, prizes, music, treats and more.
The fundraiser involves many volunteers, which come
from Florham Park, Madison, Chatham, East Hanover,
Roseland, Livingston, West Orange, Whippany and as far as
Sparta and Newton. The organization has helped more than
81 families since its inception.
It has been a privilege and honor to have been chosen to
help serve our 81 recipients, Casolaro said. This blessing
has been and continues to be supported and serviced by our
volunteers that give back through community outreach
efforts all for the greater good. Extending support and services through compassion, determination, kindness, consideration, respectful, loyalty, strong in faith, and most importantly, love.
The Fright Factor ticket booth was designed by

Casolaros husband, John and built by the Morris County


VoTech students. He wanted to create a haunted house
exclusively for Halos For Angels. It originated as a 900
square foot structure and three years later, he transformed
the structure into what it is today, a 3,000 square foot pathway to terror.
It has been a success year after year as it grows bigger
and better each year with added scares that will haunt your
every move with mechanical surprises, Casolaro said.
Some of the brave make it out while others remain year
after year.
It is open Saturdays 3 p.m.-6 p.m.; Sundays 1 p.m.-4 p.m.
and it is located at 186 Ridgedale Ave., Florham Park. The
entrance fee is $10. For information, go to www.halosforangelsinc.com.
