Local Expert Shows NJ Parents How To Get The Most Money For Their Children’s College Education

N

ew Jersey parents suffering with finding ways to pay for their children’s college education can finally get the solutions to their college funding problems.

Most families who earn $75,000 or more and own a home assume they are not eligible for financial aid. However, most families with income over $100,000 are actually eligible for some types of “need based” financial aid. They simply need to know how to get their fair share.

According to Newell, there are several easy things parents can do to substantially increase the amount of money they get from colleges. For example, “There are several schools that historically give better financial aid packages than others,” says Newell. “If families do proper income and asset planning before filling out the forms, they can increase eligibility by thousands of dollars.”

Newell offers a few simple tips to parents with college funding problems. “If a parent has only half an hour to end

their college funding problems, I would suggest the following: 1. Make sure they do not over-value their home on the financial aid forms.

2. Try not to save money in the child’s name as it weighs more heavily than the parent’s savings.

3. Don’t be afraid to negotiate with a college for a better financial aid package.

Newell offers New Jersey parents with college funding problems a free booklet that explains the 9 most common college funding problems and solutions. Free copies will be distributed at the seminar listed below.

Mr. Newell will be conducting a free one hour seminar for parents of college bound high school juniors and seniors at the following locations and dates: The Washington Twp. Library on Tues., Nov. 28 at 7:00pm and The Chester Public Library, on Tues., Dec. 12 at 7:00 p.m. Reservation only! Seating is limited.

CCM’s Third President Inaugurated, Sets New Vision For College

A

By Cheryl Conway fter a year settling into his position as the third president at County College of Morris in Randolph, Dr. Anthony Iacono shares his vision for a promising future.

Iacono, 49, of Mt. Arlington, was inaugurated on Friday, Oct. 6, at CCM with more than 400 attendees. He replaces Dr. Edward J. Yaw who led CCM for 30 years since 1986.

With 20 years working in education, Iacono has the skill and passion to maintain CCM’s high quality standard while strengthening its offerings to be “among the most innovative schools in the nation,” he stated.

His goals are to continue to provide high quality education; remain contemporary; build an honors program with more active internships; and expand workforce development.

With currently 8,000 students enrolled, CCM offers 100 articulation agreements between colleges and universities, 45 associate degrees and more than 25 certificate programs.

“Its high quality with small classes,” says Iacono.

To remain contemporary, Iacono says “we are building a virtual campus,” offering entire degrees online, advising and enrich-

ment classes.

“We’ve had online classes for 15 years at least,” explains Iacono, but by reorganizing and including clubs, students can be “interacting for a holistic experience.”

Iacono also plans to expand CCM in the area of workforce development by providing more in engineering and manufacturing, tourism and hospitality, technology, and healthcare, he says.

He is hoping to build on workforce training to support employers and industries while providing more opportunities for students.

CCM is the only two year school in New Jersey to be designated by the Department of Homeland Security and NSA Designated National Center for Excellence in Cyber Security, notes Iacono.

“That’s a huge and fast growing field,” says Iacono. Students with their associate’s degree in technology are being offered a starting salary of $50K, he says.

Out of the 19 community colleges in NJ, CCM alumni have been ranked by payscale. com to receive the highest paid salaries with two-year degrees, says Iacono. Out of the 1,100 community colleges in the nation, CCM is ranked in the top third for highest alumni salary.

Some graduates have gone on to become medical doctors, sheriffs, dentists, senior executives.

“You can absolutely go anywhere,” says Iacono. “Whether attorney, or engineer or hospitality, business, we are equally proud of every one of them.”

With growth comes challenge, and Iacono remains optimistic.

“We know our goals are to expand and serve the community,” he says. To maintain enrollment and funding, Iacono says they will continue to monitor the economy, tune in to legislation and keep up with a changing industry by providing employees updated training.

It’s “not really a challenge, it’s an opportunity,” says Iacono. One needs “to pay attention to what’s going on,” in politics, education and advancements and changes in “every industry.”

Amazing professors, advanced technology, grant programs and communication are some of CCM’s strong attributes.

“We invest in a lot of ourselves,” says

Iacono, by hiring the “best professors around.” Faculty is noted for their research and publishing. “They are very current in their field.”

As far as technology, Iacono says, “Technology is essential. We have to stay ahead of those curves. We continue to expand our technology.”

Staying on top of grant programs and having advisors in each department helps “to keep us current,” in how the industry is changing in areas such as engineering, health and culinary programs.

Communication is key. “We talk to the community” and school districts. “We look at what do our students want? What do they need today? It’s imperative to remember why we are all here- it’s the students.”

Working in a college setting, and in education, has been Iacono’s desired profession for the past two decades.

Before starting at CCM on Sept. 1, 2016, Iacono served as vice president of Academic Affairs at Indian River State College in Fort Pierce, Fla. “I loved it, it was a great school,” Iacono says about his 17 years at IRSC where he started out as a faculty member teaching

history, then dean.

Originally from Connecticut, Iacono attended community college at IRSC before it became a four-year state college. Iacono received an associate’s in general studies from IRSC; went on to get a bachelor’s and master’s in American history from the University of Central Florida; followed by a doctorate in American history from Mississippi State University.

Iacono was contacted about the opening at CCM and decided to apply.

Selected by the hiring committee- made up of faculty, staff, administrators and students- the CCM Board of Trustees made the final decision and hired Iacono in Feb. 2016 for a three-year contract.

“I love what the County College of Morris is all about,” says Iacono. It “lets us focus on the first two years. I like the focus on freshman and sophomore years,” with the ability for a “seamless transfer and then big scholarships,” noting that CCM has great relationships with many four year institutions.

Unlike most community colleges that focus heavily on the sciences and technology, at CCM there is equal attention between STEM and the arts.

“We have great balance,” says Iacono.

Science, math, technology is critical, but with art- it “produces a well-rounded individual. CCM has really held its focus on that.” A year before he arrived, the college dedicated the Edward Yaw Music Technology Center.

“We really value the arts,” says Iacono.

“We emphasize it as one of our priorities.

When you have that balance, you are serving your community really well. That was a real standout out for me,” in accepting the CCM position.

“It was the opportunity to head up my own college,” Iacono adds, and return to the east coast with his wife, Debbie, with their four children, with two in college and two in middle school.

His new role invites him to take CCM to the next level.

“There are programs we don’t have today,” he says, such as artificial intelligence, robotics and expanded healthcare options.

CCM has “50 years of great success, great leadership, great students, great community.

“Education is about improving things for people. I never wanted to leave the college environment. It’s just a nice environment to be in every day.”

Vietnam Memorial – The Wall That Heals

By Henry M. Holden he Vietnam Memorial (The Wall), in Washington, D.C., stands as a symbol of America’s honor and recognition of the men and women who served and sacrificed their lives in the Vietnam War. Three million Americans served during the war and inscribed on the 10-foot high black granite walls are the names of more than 58,200 men and women who gave their lives or remain missing; more than the Korean, War, Iraq War and Afghanistan War combined.

The Memorial was dedicated on Nov. 13, 1982, 35 years ago, and attracts more than 5.6 million visitors each year.

On The Wall, there are 1,487 names of New Jersey men and one N.J. woman, Capt. Eleanor Grace Alexander, of Westwood. But, the passing years are making it harder to remember their names. They came from almost every county and from towns such as Budd Lake, Morristown, Caldwell, Wayne, Short Hills and Long Valley.

The war touched thousands of N.J. families, and every Veteran’s Day they remember a husband, wife, uncle, brother, sister, a loved one or an old friend. The Wall in-

The Wall often brings closure to those who knew a name on the wall, and to some survivors, the thought of how blessed they are.

“The number of names was and remains incomprehensible,” says Army veteran Rich Reck of Randolph. “I felt and still feel a deep sense of gratitude for their and their families’ sacrifices. As a fellow veter-

an, I realize it was by the grace of God that my name isn’t on that Wall.”

Jan Scruggs, a Purple Heart Vietnam veteran, created the vision of the memorial. “It would help veterans heal,” he said. “Its mere existence would be societal recognition that their sacrifices were honorable

rather than dishonorable. Veterans needed this, and so did the nation. Our country needed something symbolic to help heal our wounds.”

history. In fact, she beat her art teacher’s submission. Lin was born in Athens, Ohio, several years after her parents fled China due to its Communist takeover in 1949.

Although she designed an apolitical monument, the politics of the Vietnam War could not be avoided. Some veteran’s groups decried the lack of patriotic or heroic symbols often seen on war memorials. But the admirers of the Wall far outnumber the critics.

“I was passing Washington,

and took a detour to visit the wall,” said one Marine veteran from Randolph who did not want to give his name. “The reverence shown by the visitors so moved me. It was as if I was visiting a holy place. While some people were taking pictures, or making rubbings, they all showed a quiet respect.”

For those of us who have visited the wall it is a memorial one will never forget. For many it unlocks memories, and begins the healing process.

Morris County Surgeon Seeks Kidney Donor To Save His Life

Long Valley Woman’s Club Gears Up For Season

I

By Dawn M Chiossi n the most ironic of twists, Dr. Marc Rubman, an orthopedic surgeon who has been helping patients for two decades, now needs a kidney transplant.

He is asking the public at large to become living kidney donors.

Disease can be insidious and unmerciful, and unfortunately no one is immune. Rubman’s kidneys failed in 2015, due to polycystic kidney disease, a condition that he inherited from his mother.

Rubman is searching for living donors, because sadly, his condition also afflicts his family as well, so they are unable to donate their own kidney to him.

With polycystic kidney disease, the kidneys start to grow cysts, unlike a normal kidney which is cyst free. The cysts then keep growing until they crowd out the normal kidney.

Unfortunately then, the kidneys will eventually stop working.

With this particular condition there is no cure. It is the fourth leading cause of kidney failure.

Originally getting involved in the medical profession because he wanted to help others, the irony of his situation is not lost on him. Instead of being bitter, Rubman chooses to see his condition as a blessing.

“This has really given me a perspective of what patients go though, what it’s like on the other side,” he says. “In a way, it has given me a real appreciation of what is important.”

When people think of gifts, they often think of something tangible that gives joy for only a short time, but with the gift of organ donation, it is a gift that resonates and echoes throughout a lifetime. Just by making that one choice, that one compassionate act, organ donation can save a life.

By being a living donor, a person will see just how meaningful the gift of living donation is. It enriches both the donor and recipient.

Even though he has been struggling with this condition for several years, Rubman refuses to let his condition get him down.

“This is a disease that unfortunately is very common, more common than you realize,” Rubman says. “And it’s one that no one’s ever heard of. People are aware of Parkinson’s because of Michael J Fox, and they are aware of ALS because of the ice bucket challenge, but not PKD.” Rubman seeks to change that.

Most people are born with two viable kidneys. In a surprising fact that most people do not know, they only need the power of one to live well.

So when donating a kidney to someone else, the quality of the donor’s life is not affected, but it can be a matter of life and death to the recipient.

With an approximate two day stay in the hospital, doctors can remove the “spare,” kidney from the living donor and then he or she recovers in a matter of weeks.

Most people are familiar with organ donation in regards to donating organs after death, but in donating a living organ such as a kidney, the results are immediate.

With a donation from a decontinued on page 24

Acupuncture For Pain Relief Have you read recently, the CDC wants to limit the amount of opiates that doctors can prescribe for pain. The amount of people becoming addicted to pain meds has increased dramatically, as have deaths due to overdoses, hence the CDC has stepped in. But there is good news! Increasingly, people are looking for more natural approaches to help relieve painful conditions instead of becoming addicted to prescription drugs. Acupuncture has been used for over 5,000 years for all types of pain

T

Regional Pain Syndrome, Strains, Sprains or pulled muscles, pain from either pre or post surgery, back, neck, knee or shoulder pain, etc. Acupuncture can help alleviate or eliminate the pain. If you are suffering from pain, don’t want the nasty side effects from the pain meds, fear of addiction, or have tried everything else to no avail, call Skylands Acupuncture at 908-876-3643 to make an appointment.

Managing Diabetes During The Holiday Season

he holiday season is synonymous with many things, including food.

Family gatherings and holiday office parties wouldn’t be the same without great food.

Food plays such a significant role during the holiday season that many people are worried about overindulging. Some celebrants can afford to overindulge, while others must resist temptation. Diabetics fall into the latter category, as the festive mood of the season does not mean people with diabetes can throw dietary caution to the wind. With the holiday season upon us, diabetics can heed the following tips from the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention to help them stay on a healthy track.

• Stick to your normal routine. While the holiday season can be unpredictable, the CDC advises diabetics stick to their normal routines as closely as possible. Because holiday guests cannot control food served to them at family gatherings or parties, the CDC recommends diabetics offer to bring a healthy, diabetic-friendly dish

Deborah Waddell, Dipl. Ac., C.A.

regardless of where the pain is. Over the many years of treating patients, Acupuncture has helped hundreds of my patients, even those who were told they would have to live with the pain for the rest of their lives.

MRI’s of the brain before and after Acupuncture treatments clearly shows dramatic decreases in brain activity—up to 70%, which is indicative of the reduction and/or elimination of their pain. Whether your pain is from Fibromyalgia, Complex

along to any parties. In addition, don’t skip meals during the day in anticipation of a large holiday meal. Doing so makes it hard to control blood sugar levels.

• Be extra careful with alcohol. Alcohol is served or readily available at many holiday gatherings, and many people overindulge because of the festive mood of the season. Overindulging in alcohol is dangerous for anyone, but diabetics must be especially mindful of their alcohol consumption. Alcohol can lower blood sugar and interact with diabetes medicines. Diabetics who want to enjoy a holiday libation should keep their alcohol consumption to a minimum.

• Eat slowly. Eating slowly can benefit anyone during the holiday season. Eating at a leisurely pace gives diners’ brains ample time to signal that their bodies are full.

By eating quickly, diners may be eating more calories than they hoped to eat, and that can lead to uncomfortable feelings of fullness after a meal. Diabetics who can slow down their eating are less likely to overindulge in less healthy holiday foods

The availaibility of sugary treats during the holiday season can tempt diabetics to deviate from their healthy diets.

that can affect their blood sugar levels.

• Remain active. The holiday season can be hectic, as adults often must juggle extraordinarily busy social schedules with the responsibilities of everyday life. Many people sacrifice time at the gym to ease the burden of hectic holiday schedules, but diabetics must resist that temptation.

The National Institute of Diabetes and Digestive and Kidney Diseases notes that routine physical activity helps diabetics keep their blood glucose levels in their target range. Physical activity also helps the hormone insulin absorb glucose into all of the body’s cells for energy. That extra energy boost can help diabetics fend off holiday-related fatigue.

Diabetics face a lot of temptation come the holiday season. But with the right plan of action in place, men and women with diabetes can enjoy a healthy holiday season.

As Halloween Creeps Away, Chill Sets In With NJ Brothers’ Scary Christmas Film

C

By Stefanie Sears hristmas is getting a chiller treatment with “Killer Christmas,” an upcoming independent feature film written, directed, and produced by Shaker Productions, a new filmmaking company co-founded by Englewood Cliffs brothers PeterPaul and Tony Shaker.

The pair acts in the movie as well. PeterPaul Shaker- a former lawyer who obtained some screenwriting experience in Los Angeles and has been writing since 2007 while living in New York, portrays Rudolph.

Tony Shaker, who quit his software developer job to focus solely on the film, plays one of the main characters, Robbie.

The film also stars Malcolm Xavier, Freya Lund, Matt Maretz, Natalie Pavelek and Kourtney Kelly.

And yes, it is a – ahem – “killer.”

The film, which took nine days to shoot, follows a mischievous bunch of former college chums and two new roommates when they visit a Christmas tree lot to find the perfect tree. The lot neighbors a spooky abandoned hotel. When they realize that they stayed way past the closing hours of the lot, the gang, under the influence of alcohol and drugs, decides to explore the creepiness of said hotel as one of their daring games.

Kelly’s character Bella automatically and throughout counts it as a bad idea but reluctantly joins them. After much built up suspension, they discover that they are not alone in the hotel when a crazed man in a Santa Claus mask starts killing them off one by one with a machete. The friends then find themselves on a race for their

lives to escape the numerous filthy and graffiti-adorned rooms and hallways of the hotel in order to survive against their masked adversary.

The Shakers’ own trip to a Christmas tree farm run by Benedictine monks on Thanksgiving weekend 2016 inspired the “Killer Santa” antagonist. Finding the idea of a hidden, masked murderous monk a good unforeseen villain and inspired by the random clown sightings of 2016, they eventually looked into Christmas clown masks and found the Santa clown mask online. This led to the rest of the character’s development.

The eeriness of the lighting, unique shots, and music, which is sinister sounding Christmas carols sung by children, together create the horrifying atmosphere of “Killer Christmas.” However, the Adler Hotel, the film’s main setting, contributed its own unsettling aura without much manipulation on the crew’s part.

According to the brothers, finding such location was the most difficult aspect of the filmmaking process. The Adler Hotel of Sharon Springs, New York, was in business from the 1920s to the early 2000s when it went bankrupt and eventually fell into disrepair. Throughout recent years the vacant building has fallen victim to vandalism and the results of such can now be seen in the movie.

“Killer Christmas” follows the growing popular trend of Christmas horror hybrid films. Others in this category include “Krampus” (2015); “Black Christmas” (2006); and of course the much tamer children 90s classic, “The Nightmare Before Christmas” (1993).

A By

en tha ex pa ha

tan tru the

“That was very purposeful because we love Halloween and there hasn’t really been an epic Christmas one that’s been done,” says PeterPaul Shaker. “We really loved the concept of this Killer Santa type person. We thought that Christmas horror films are underrepresented. There needs to be more of them. It’s a good, fun season. When you think of horror you’re thinking Halloween, you’re thinking something a little darker. With Christmas you think of fun, family friendly. It’s a nice little twist; something unexpected. It just hasn’t been done enough.”

“Killer Christmas” will be available on Cable VOD, Amazon, iTunes, Google Play, X-Box, Microsoft, and Sony PlayStation on Wed., Nov. 22.

Chocolate Shoppe Reopens Sweet New Beginnings In Long Valley

A

By Jane Primerano new store in Long Valley is the happy ending to a story that began with an explosion in a propane tank in Mendham last winter.

The propane tank in a garbage truck exploded in the early morning

on ay, on

hours of Wednesday, Dec. 28, 2016.

Fire swept through Country Coffee Shop and Village Pizza and smoke and water damage destroyed the inventory in The Chocolate Shoppe as well as damaging a restaurant in the same strip

mall. There were no injuries in the fire. The Mendham emergency services were assisted by a number of mutual aid organizations.

Owners Darleen Wizoek and her daughter, Emily Oldmixon, started looking for a new location and found

one close to their Long Valley homes.

The new store on Route 24 was scheduled to open on Nov. 14.

Because the new store is close to the Chocolate Shoppe’s original location, on Washington Avenue in Washington, Wizoek and Oldmixon closed that store after Halloween. Wizoek started working in that shop in 2005 after working at Mangel’s in Chester since 2000s.

Mangel’s was sold in 2005. Oldmixon worked there for a while but then entered into business with her mother.

The Washington store was opened in 1980 and bought

Sweet Potato-Pumpkin Puree Recipe courtesy of Atkins.com Prep time: 20 minutes Total time: 1 hour, 20 minutes 3 large egg whites 5 tablespoons sugar substitute, divided 1/2 cup half pecans 1 1/2 pounds sweet potatoes, peeled 1/4 cup unsalted butter stick 1/2 cup heavy cream 1/2 teaspoon salt 1/2 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon 15 ounces pumpkin (without salt, drained, cooked and boiled) Heat oven to 250 F. Lightly butter baking sheet.

In medium mixing bowl, beat egg whites with electric mixer at high speed until foamy.

Gradually add 3 tablespoons sugar substitute and continue mixing until soft peaks form.

Spoon onto prepared baking sheet and spread with spatula to 1/4-inch thickness. Bake 35 minutes. Turn oven off; let meringue stand in oven 45 minutes. Crush meringue and place in bowl. Add pecans and toss gently to combine. Set aside.

While meringue is resting, place sweet potatoes in medium saucepan. Cover with water to 2 inches above potatoes and bring to boil. Cook until tender, about 20 minutes, and drain. Return saucepan to medium-high heat. Add potatoes, butter, cream, remaining sugar substitute, salt, cinnamon, pumpkin pie spice and pumpkin puree. Stir to combine.

Surgeon Seeks Kidney Donor... continued from page 14

ceased donor, the wait can be up to an agonizing 10 years.

Rubman is candid with what he is facing and what he is asking of others.

“Living donation is an amazing thing,” he asserts. “Due to advances in medicine people can be helped so much more, now than in the past.” Realizing that people are leery about making such a commitment, he is empathetic. “The procedure now is less invasive than in the past, recovery time is relatively short,” he says. “In fact,” he discloses, “the donor will be “back to normal within a few weeks.”

Recalling seeing what his mother endured when she was suffering with her own kidney disease, Rubman is astounded.

“The difference is crazy,” he says. “It’s phenomenal.”

But first people have to make the decision to donate. It can be as simple as filling out

an application, getting a simple blood test and then getting screened.

Facing illness is a frightening experience, but with a wonderful treatment such as organ donation at the helm, folks can triumph. Recipients can go from patients to survivors, and donors can go from strangers to heroes.

While waiting for a donor Rubman lives his life going to dialysis three times a week, for a total of 15 hours. Rubman still gives his time and energies to the world, works part time and enjoys being a husband, father, brother and family man.

“I am so grateful,” Rubman shares. “I have such great support from family and friends.

In a way I am so lucky; this is such a life-changing event and I’ve learned what’s important in life.”

Chocolate Shoppe Reopens... continued from page 21

Long Valley is exactly halfway between the two previous locations. “Having two locations was very tough given we are seasonal and a family business,” Oldmixon said.

On a recent morning, Oldmixon was setting up for the opening. The Long Valley location is the same size as the Washington store, but more square rather than long and narrow.

“We do not plan to make many changes,” Oldmixon said. “We want to keep our same recipes that were used in Mangel’s and The Chocolate Shoppe, maybe create some new ones, too.”

The Chocolate Shoppe is truly a family business. Besides the mother-daughter team, other year-round employees are Oldmixon’s sister, Jes Wizorek, family friend Anita Stec, cousin Lexie Ackerman and

another family friend and baker Jack Dempsey. During busy seasons, Darlene Wizoek’s husband, Mike, and Emily’s other siblings, Dan Wizorek and Erin Carrajet along with her family help out. Darleen’s sisters, Carol Ackerman and Pam Meling also work during busy times.

Oldmixon said the big sellers are homemade caramel and buttercrunch as well as handdipped chocolate-covered potato chips, hand-panned chocolate covered cherries and the various handmolded chocolate figures, some of which are seasonal.

For the soft opening on Tuesday, Nov. 14, Oldmixon said they were planning to give away some of the popular little treats such as the homemade caramels, chocolate-covered potato chips and, in honor of the upcoming Thanksgiving holiday, hand molded chocolate turkeys.

fficers paid a visit today to the Matheny School in Peapack to learn about the students’ “Brave Bags” project.

These bags are for police officers to keep in their patrol cars and used to com-

fort children during times of crisis. The bags are small cloth backpacks that are hand-painted by the students. They are then filled with goodies such as a coloring book, crayons, small toys, bubbles, etc.

Library Provides Resource On Chester’s Elected Officials Since 1870

hester Library now offers the only location for the complete list of Chester Borough and Township elected officials. Previously, information seekers paged through old record books at the borough and township offices or individual PDFs of council minutes on their web sites, or visited the library to access “Observer-Tribune” newspapers from 1936 forward. The online list, accessible here: http://chesterlib.org/local-history-room/ chester-borough-and-town-

ship-elected-officials/, extends back to 1870, the earliest records of Chester Township’s elected officials available. The new elected officials list will be useful to students, teachers, genealogical researchers, political scientists, and other researchers.

“This is an invaluable resource for the residents of Chester,” said Library Director Lesley Karczewski. “It’s become much more convenient for this community to consult Chester’s election information by

using this tool on the library’s web site.”

Until now, a compiled list of all Chester’s elected officials was nonexistent. Local History Department volunteer Marty Groff obtained the information by first searching the newspapers at the Chester Library, then visiting borough and township offices to comb through council meeting minutes books spanning 144 years. After she compiled her lists from each locality, she gave them to Local History Librarian Debra Schiff,

who created the web page and made the information available and accessible to users.

The Local History Department of the Chester Library is a resource for reference and original materials that document Chester, Morris County, and N.J. history. The purpose of the department is to collect, preserve, describe, and make accessible these materials to the local community, as well as to visiting and online researchers.
