Verona Woman Creates Bracelets For A Cause

By Anastasia Marchese ailey Harrington is a local entrepreneur and the owner of, Haiilshandmade, her small business through which she markets her own handmade items.

She is looking forward to starting nursing school in the fall of 2017. When asked why she is pursuing nursing she was obviously proud to be following in her mother’s footstep, who is also a nurse. “It is something I always wanted to do,” she said. She may have started jewelry making as a personal outlet for her creativity, but she has found a way to use it to help others. She has a special line of charm jewelry themed to honor those who have suffered from breast cancer. During October, which is Breast Cancer Awareness month, Harrington featured this jewelry online at her etsy store and at Main Street Cottage in Verona. She also sold her breast cancer awareness jewelry at the 2nd annual Susan G Komen walk at Panther Park in Cedar Grove. All the proceeds from the sale of the jewelry were donated to the Susan G Komen Foundation. According to Wikipedia, the Komen Foundation “is the most widely known, largest and best-funded breast cancer organization in the United States. Susan Goodman, later Susan Goodman Komen, was born in 1943 in Peoria, Illinois. She was diagnosed with breast cancer at the age of 33. She died of the disease at age 36 in 1980. Komen’s younger sister, Nancy Goodman Brinker, who believed that Susan’s outcome might have been better if patients knew more about cancer and its treatment, promised her sister that she would do everything she could to end breast cancer. To fulfill that promise, Brinker founded the Susan G. Komen Breast Cancer Foundation in Komen’s memory in 1982.” Harrington was also inspired to start fundraising for

breast cancer awareness because of a personal connection with the disease. Harrington’s mother was diagnosed and treated for the disease but thankfully has been cancer free for more than over five years now. This was Harrington’s second year fundraising, and she has been pleased to have increased her sales since last year. She donates all the materials, so the full purchase price goes straight for cancer research and awareness initiatives. This year she made charm bracelets that were personalized with words like Mother, Daughter, Aunt, Friend and Sister. Hailey had some requests to personalize two items for survivors of pancreatic cancer, and she was happy to be able to change the theme. When asked if she will continue her side business while in nursing school, Harrington was optimistic. She may need this artistic outlet then more than ever, as she continues to follow her passion to help others through the medical field. Her etsy shop can be found at www.etsy.com/shop/ haiilshandmade. To see more of Harrington’s creations check out her Instagram page www.instagram.com/haiilshandmade/ Eb7srut1.

Healthy Serving Of Fresh Thinking For Your Pet’s Food

Verona Celebrates Week Of Respect With Anti-Bullying Assembly

hoosing the best food for a dog or cat’s needs is an important consideration that can play a big part in their long-term health. However, it’s not the end of the story when it comes to their proper feeding. Michele Dixon, Health and Nutrition Specialist with Petcurean, says how you feed your pet is an important complement to the food itself. She serves up these tips for your pet to savor every moment during mealtime. You can get more helpful information at www.petcurean.com. Follow the feeding and transition guidelines on the pet food label and increase or decrease the amount you feed based on your pet’s activity level and weight. • The type of feeding bowl or dish matters. Choose a durable, nonporous material that’s easy to clean, won’t hold bacteria and can’t be chewed by your pet. • Use the right size dish for your pet to feed comfortably. For example, if your dog has a short snout, use a bowl with a sloped side, so it’s easier for them to get the food. • Avoid using the pet’s feeding bowl as a scooping utensil. Use a clean, scoop or spoon that’s only used for this purpose. • Wash pet food bowls and scooping utensils with soap and hot water after each use. • Refrigerate or discard any uneaten wet or canned pet food right away.

s a requirement of the Harassment, Intimidation and Bullying legislation, schools across New Jersey celebrated a “Week of Respect” from Oct 3 – Oct. 7. The intention of this week is “to recognize the importance of character education, by providing age appropriate instruction focusing on the prevention of harassment, intimidation and bullying.” The Forest Ave Elementary School SCA in Verona sponsored an anti-bullying assembly on Tue., Oct. 4, titled “Through Another’s Eyes.” The presenter was Snakes-NScales. Their anti-bullying school assemblies look at the subject using animals that are often misunderstood and feared, like snakes, spiders and alligators. They try to have children see through their eyes at themselves and learn to understand that the point of view of a person, or an animal, is important to understanding. Since bullying often arises from dislike, and dislike comes from misunderstanding and fear, if understanding is created and fear eliminated, then much of the bullying will not occur.

Progressive Educators Spread Literacy Through Book Bins

By Cheryl Conway he ‘book lady’ recently made her rounds in several towns in Essex County delivering bins of children’s books to nail salons and beauty, barber and braiding shops. What started out in June as the Progressive Educators Essex County 2016 Literacy Community Initiative has continued, expanding to four towns with currently 17 beauty/barber shops, three braiding shops and one nail salon. West Orange resident Phyllis Ann Johnson, aka ‘the book lady,’ founded the project through her business Progressive Educators LLC, an educational resource company in West Orange. Through the literacy initiative, children who accompany their parents to a hair or nail appointment are being provided with other options to stimulate their minds other than devices or handheld games. “I see children, male children, girl children; these barber shops are packed,” says Johnson, a retired special education teacher. “It’s where children spend their weekends. It takes four hours to get their hair braided. Children accompany their parents to these places. They’re just sitting there with a handheld game.” Johnson selected beauty, barber and braiding shops and nail salons as recipients of her literacy initiative because “there are hundreds,” she said. “When you start counting beauty and barber shops, it’s almost a commodity to have a barber and beauty shop in local community.”

The Community Literacy Advocate recipients are selected by accepting a “free” bin of books, says Johnson. In that bin of books are 30 new or gingerly used books and other items. The bin is then placed in a convenient location at the shop where children have access at “arm’s length” or within “direct eye view” to the book bin. Johnson describes it as “a bin of books and things,” such as trinkets, puzzles, coloring books, crayons. “Whatever we can put in the bin; there’s cards so they can play. It’s very small; it’s very quaint. They fit it on the counter.” On every other Wednesday, Johnson returns to the businesses to refresh the assortment. “I take out old ones and replace with new ones,” she says, providing fresh new reads for the children of the clientele to enjoy. “They call me the book lady,” Johnson laughs. “Now I can’t stop the books; they look for me. Everyone wants the books.” The reading audience for these books is kindergarten through eighth grade. She recommends “children’s books of interest, good reading material.” Most are in excellent condition. “They are wonderfully illustrated, well written.” Johnson began Progressive Educator’s in Jan. 2014 as a vendor of New Jersey Department of Education. Her educational services include English language enrichment classes for adults and children, after school homework help and home, tutorial

Take A Hiking Break With Hot Chocolate

he Cora Hartshorn Arboretum in Short Hills has planned a Hot Chocolate Hike Weekend, Dec.17 and 18, with hike times at 11 a.m., 1 p.m. and 3 p.m. Take a break from the holiday rush and join in for a guided hike on the Arboretum’s grounds, and finish up in the historic Stone House with a cup of hot cocoa by the

and supplementary instruction services offered privately or through contracted NJ school districts in 21 cities in Essex County. Her idea for the literacy initiative came about when she realized how many books teachers throw out. “I work in so many school districts,” says Johnson. “Teachers were cleaning out their classrooms and throwing out so many books; cleaning out classes for summer getting rid of lots of books.” That’s when Johnson decided to grab those books instead of watching them go to waste. “I got so many books I didn’t know what to do with them,” says Johnson. “I wanted to share them.” She also got books through donations from Child’s Play in South Orange, 200 from the West Orange Library and through a donation drive posted on Facebook. “I got nice books from the West Orange Library book sale,” says Johnson. “They just fill up the bag.” After working as a high school teacher in reading and language arts for 22 years, Johnson realizes the importance of reading for enjoyment. When a student is in kindergarten through elementary, he or she is required to read 30 minutes per day. But “when a child is in a different setting, it brings about joy. Where there are books available outside school buildings, they become more fluent. The pressure is not there. They engage in reading because they like to read.” So far, “progressive educators community literacy advocates have fully embraced our literacy initiative and are excited about continued participation through 2017 in

helping to spread and encourage literacy in their communities,” says Johnson. Barber Gary Johnson of Johnson’s Barber states, “Just to witness the expression on the youths’ faces while actually sitting there reading a book instead of playing an electronic hand held game while receiving or waiting for a parent to be served is absolutely delightful and encouraging!” He says, the program is working, they are reading the books out of the bin. Progressive Educators LLC plans to recruit throughout 2016-2017 more local barber, beauty, braiding and nail shop owners in Essex County to participate and help to spread and encourage literacy throughout Essex County communities. She hopes to spread to Bloomfield, Montclair and South Orange. Her business also supports and creates literacy initiatives for and with community based and non-profit organizations in Georgia, Kenya, St. Thomas Virgin Islands, and Uganda, with tutorial services, school materials and books. “In essence we collect school supplies and lots of children’s books that are donated to us from people, churches and organizations anywhere and everywhere and share what we have with those who need what we have, with no strings attached.” Hence her hashtag is “#ReadingBooksMatter” and “#SpreadingLiteracyInTheCommunity.” To donate children’s books or to become a literacy advocate, call Johnson at 973669-2819. “If you see the bin know that Progressive Educators have been there,” Johnson concludes.

Essex County Honors First Responders With Painted Lines

By J.L. Shively e take pride in supporting our law enforcement,” says Robert Parisi, mayor of West Orange, “It is a difficult time to be a police officer.” This is a sentiment reverberated throughout many towns throughout the country and this support is being wonderfully displayed within Essex County. Caldwell, Verona and West Orange have all joined in on a community gesture which subtly but strongly recognizes the presence and all of first responders’ sacrifices and all their years of stout service. This support is being made present through the painting of blue lines on roads within the commu-

“

nities in an effort to draw attention to the men and women who serve the community. The blue lines are painted at different increments on town roads and are painted within the double yellow lines. The idea for this project has been threading its way through the country and was brought to each town leader through excited community members and town officials alike. Parisi notes that a friend, Danny Brink, was the person who brought the idea to his attention and from there the project was “initiated by the administration.” The lines in West Orange were painted on Main St. in front of headquarters and Town Hall. Ann Dassing, Mayor of

Caldwell, states, “The idea was brought to my attention by a Caldwell resident who saw a news story that this had been done in Wayne.” Seeing the neighboring Essex towns take the lead, Verona was soon to follow by painting lines down the center of Bloomfield Ave. at two block increments in front of the municipal building, rescue squad and the two firehouses. Dassing states, “This is a visible symbol of Mayor and Council’s support for our police.” Dassing explains that the lines in town were painted on Provost Sq. and then also on Bloomfield Ave. from the Elm Rd. intersection to Central Ave. “My Public Safety Committee was in favor of doing this in Caldwell,”

explains Dassing and the DPW was given charge over the project. Each of these towns added their own local touch to their projects. In Verona, town officials choose to honor all their first responders. The town supports all emergency services, says Township Manager, Matthew Cavallo, and “lines were painted to show our respect for them.” With this in mind the town opted to paint lines in support for all emergency responders. Blue lines were painted for the police force, red for the fire department and white for the rescue squad. These colors have left a streak of red, white and blue down the center of Verona’s streets. West Orange choose a very special way to honor their police force by tying in the line painting with the memorial of the seventieth anniversary of the death of one of West Orange’s police officers who was killed while on duty. Officer Daniel Laird was called away from his son’s sixth birthday party to work a graveyard shift on Oct. 27 of 1946. According to an article written by Township Historian Joe Fagan, Laird was driving the squad car on that foggy evening when he and his partner were on patrol for a car which had possibly been involved in a robbery. In the fog Laird saw a car speeding at them and swerved to miss it, the squad car spun out of control and hit a utility pole killing Laird instantly. With this anniversary in mind, Officer Pat Matullo

of the West Orange police force arranged for a ceremony to honor Laird and all past and present police officers on the anniversary of Laird’s death in the line of duty. The work and materials for the line painting in West Orange was donated. “I take great pride in our town’s history and have great respect for Laird’s sacrifice,” states Parisi. The roads in Verona were painted on Oct. 25 and the paint for the lines was something the Public Works already had in stock

and so came at no cost. Caldwell’s cost of materials and labor was minimal at $300. All residents will be able to enjoy the memorial to these hard working first-responders as the line paint will last well after the winter. Although no plans have yet been made to repaint the lines after they fade most town officials agree that their support for their officers and emergency workers will not fade and see no reason why the lines will not be painted again.

Motivation Sweetens The Recipe For Weight Loss

By Cheryl Conway t a recent exercise class, a new member walked in at least half way into the start of class. No biggie, I was few minutes late myself. But when I noticed that she was exercising without any shoes on, I thought well now that’s motivation! The instructor stopped class and ran out to her car thinking she had an extra pair in her trunk, as they happen to wear the same size, but realized they were no longer

there. When asked where her shoes were, the member responded ‘I just couldn’t find them.’ Exercise and dieting go hand and hand, most trainers and fitness consultants would agree, when it comes to weight loss. But it is that third element that makes all the difference. Like drinking coffee without cream and sugar, trying to lose weight without that key ingredient, motivation, it just does not mix well.

Did You Know?

esearching family history and genealogy can be an interesting project the entire family can enjoy. Thanks to the Internet and the various family history sites that have cropped up in recent years, it is now easier than ever for families to investigate their origins. Family genealogy projects may start as school assignments and grow into much more once the seed of curiosity has been planted.

Fully Insured Free Estimates

Web sites such as Ancestry.com and FamilySearch.com can assist individuals with following up on family journals or wordof-mouth stories passed on through generations. Tracing one particular branch of the family may be more manageable at the outset. Once that desire for information is sated, you can move on to different family members or even a spouse’s family history.

No matter what the goal, success is hard to achieve without that motivation. Some may give up their lunch hour to walk four miles every day. Others may give up something they love like eating dessert or drinking alcohol. Some figure if they exercise everyday they will lose weight, but that is not always the case. Most individuals, once they reach that magical age of 45, need to push themselves even harder or add on even more exercise to their regular routine. Instead of running four miles, run twice that day and try for six miles. One dad I know spent his free time running his kids around to activities. But he found his motivation when he jumped on that treadmill 11 p.m. at night to still squeeze in that run while others would probably be watching the news or hitting the hay. Back to that woman at my class, as we were doing our squats, she looked at me with an expression of pain. The class was challenging. I looked at her and told her

I admire her motivation. This mother was late to class, missing almost half of it, but still showed up without shoes on her feet. Toward the end of class, two other women came in to the building, not to exercise, but to set up for a funeral repass for a friend who just died. As they were arranging the tables and lining up the trays filled with delicious pastries as the sweet aroma of coffee filled the room, we were toning with our weights, doing sit ups on the mat and stretches at the end. I was grateful and appreciative for that moment that I was able to be part of a group of women sharing in an exercise class bonded by the same goal of taking care of our most precious gift from God. We have one body and must be disciplined to take care of it no matter what it takes. Wearing athletic shoes does help of course, but if ‘by any means necessary’ is your motto, and that works for you, by all means, that is the way to go to lead you to a path toward better health and fitness.

Team Zoey’s “Miles of Hope” Turkey Trot Raises Money For Progeria Research

eam Zoey, an organization named after Verona’s Zoey Penny dedicated to fighting Progeria, announced it will present the sixth annual “Miles of Hope” 5k Turkey Trot at Verona Park on Sat., Nov. 26. “This is an event that we have come to look forward to every year,” said Laura Penny, Zoey’s mother. “During a time of gratitude, we have so much to be thankful for and appreciate the support we receive.” The 5K race and one mile “fun run” have become an annual event in Verona to raise money to battle the fatal disease that prematurely ages kids many times faster than normal. Registration for this year’s Turkey Trot beginning at 9:30 a.m. is open to participants for either the 5K or fun run. Zoey, 7, was diagnosed with the rapid aging disease when she was just 5 ½ months old. Team Zoey, which her father, John Marozzi, formed shortly after Zoey’s diagnosis, is doing what it can to raise awareness and funds for the Progeria Re-

Roofing

search foundation. “We are constantly blown away and overwhelmed by the support of the town and friends who have come out the past six years to help us raise money and awareness for progeria,” said Laura Penny. Progeria affects approximately one in 20 million people and there are an estimated 350-400 children living with Progeria worldwide at any one time. Currently, there are no approved treatments to cure or slow down the progression of Progeria. To learn more about Team Zoey, visit www.teamzoey.com. The Progeria Research Foundation (PRF) was founded in 1999 in response to the complete lack of progress being made to help children with Progeria. Today, PRF continues to be the only organization in the world solely dedicated to the mission of discovering treatments and the cure for Progeria and its aging-related disorders, including heart disease.

Apple Cider Demonstrations Offered At Great Swamp

Lions And Hyenas Joining Turtle Back Zoo Family

othing says fall like brightly colored leaves and delicious apple cider! Make the season complete with a fun and educational excursion to the Great Swamp Outdoor Education Center in Chatham Township for an Apple Cidering Demonstration. Hour-long demonstrations are designed to engage, involve, and educate all ages. Remaining two sessions, at 1 p.m. and 2:30 p.m., are offered on Nov. 26, and 27. Take part in the hands-on process by preparing and grinding the apples, turning the old-fashioned press, and collecting the cider. Watch as locally grown apples are pressed to make sweet cider. “Did you know that you have been looking at apples upside down your entire life? And that apple pie might not be so American after all,” Jenny Gaus Myers, assistant director of Education and Interpretive Services at the Morris

ssex County Executive Joseph N. DiVincenzo, Jr. outlined plans to develop the Ronald J. Mount Lion and Hyena Exhibit at Essex County Turtle Back Zoo in West Orange on Wed., Oct. 26. The exhibit is named after the late Ronald J. Mount, who was a major supporter of the zoo and a member of the Zoological Society of New Jersey and the Volunteer Docent organization. Other additions announced include a new Condor Exhibit, enhancements to the Cattle Exhibit, new fencing at the Essex Farm Petting Zoo and shade structures at the Sea Lion Sound Exhibit, amphitheater and Dinosaur Playground.

County Park Commission asked. “At the ‘Apple Cidering Demonstrations’ you’ll learn all about the amazing apple’s place in history and in the natural world, along with lots of apple-themed fun facts,” Gaus-Myers continued. Best of all, sample fresh, homemade cider made at The Swamp and compare it to the delicious cider provided by Whole Foods Market! Admission to this event is $3 per person ages three and up. Pre-registration is not necessary. Arrive early, because admission is first-come, first-served, and demos often fill up quickly. For more information and directions to the Great Swamp Outdoor Education Center in Chatham Township, visit morrisparks.net or call 973.635.6629.

“We are very excited about bringing lions and hyenas to Turtle Back Zoo because they are the animals that people most identify with the African Savanna,” said DiVincenzo. “In addition, a lion is the central figure on our Essex County Seal, so we are pleased about bringing the real life version of our iconic seal here. We are always looking for new ways to attract new visitors and enhance their experience. Bringing new animal exhibits, upgrading exhibits to improve viewing areas for the public and introducing amenities create new things for people see and learn about and makes their visits more enjoyable.” Mount’s son, Ian Mount, said, “The ex-

Workshops are free for members of NCJW, and $7 per workshop for non-members.

hibit is going to be an amazing addition to Turtle Back Zoo. I thank the County Executive and the Freeholders for the deep respect you’ve shown my father and my family. When I think of Lions, I think about pride, and that reminds me of my father. I’m proud of him when I think of all the lives he has touched.” The lion and hyena exhibit will be located in the African Adventure Exhibit adjacent to the Giraffe House. The half-acre exhibit will be heavily landscaped and have a two-foot pool and exposed rock formation. There will be three viewing stations for the public. Inside the exhibit near one of the viewing stations will be a heated stone patio to attract the lions so they can be easily seen by the public. At the rear of the exhibit will be a heated one-story building that is designed to resemble a North African fortress that has been returned to the wild. “This is the busiest attraction in New Jersey,” Sheriff Armando Fontoura said. “We are pleased to partner with the County Executive and the Freeholders to make it the safest in the state,” he added. “I have always had a great deal of respect for Ronald Mount because he gave so much back and the zoo was one of his pet projects,” Assemblyman Thomas Giblin said. “The addition of the Lion Exhibit really completes the zoo the way it should be.” Several other projects were being undertaken to create new or enhance existing animal exhibits, provide amenities to make

visitors’ experiences more enjoyable and to modernize fencing. A new Condor Exhibit is being constructed next to the Penguin Coast Exhibit. It will take the place of an older exhibit that was damaged several years ago after a storm. Construction started earlier in October is scheduled to be completed by the spring of 2017. The viewing areas at the Scottish Highland Cattle and Wolf Woods exhibits are being improved to provide the public with better opportunities to see the animals. At the Scottish Highland Cattle Exhibit, a new covered viewing area for the public is being constructed. The improvements include creating a patio area for the public to gather in front of the exhibit. Instead of looking through a fence into the exhibit, glass walls will be erected. A lattice covering will provide shade over the viewing area. Shade structures are being installed over the Sea Lion Sound pool, the amphitheater and the children’s Dinosaur Playground. The shade structure over the Sea Lion exhibit will help regulate the water quality in the pool and, by keeping the water from direct sunlight, will help suppress the growth of algae in the water. The structure over the playground will keep the apparatus out of direct sunlight and prevent the climbing structures from getting too hot. The amphitheater structure will provide shade for people attending educational or entertainment programs. New perimeter fencing is also being installed at the Zoo.

t. Hubert’s Animal Welfare Center and regional placement partners recently welcomed 86 dogs and cats to Madison from Wayne County Animal Adoption and Education Center in North Carolina. Wayne County and other parts of the region that were under state of emergency due to severe flooding. As a HSUS Emergency Placement Partner, St. Hubert’s Animal Welfare Center is often called in to participate in large scale rescues and coordinates the safe placement and adoption of those animals. The animals in this transport were already awaiting adoption in North Carolina and are not the pets of displaced residents. By evacuating the animals awaiting adoption from North Carolina, the local shelter can help to house lost pets of displaced res-

idents and orchestrate a plan for recovery. Other emergency partners will be arriving at St. Hubert’s Madison Campus to assist and accept the animals they will be transferring to their shelters. The alliance between the HSUS and Emergency Placement Partners (EPP), helps to ensure animals will be safely transported away from disaster areas, obtain the proper care they need and get ready for adoption – all in a timely manner. Donations towards the care of these homeless pets and other St. Hubert’s emergency transfer efforts are greatly appreciated; those who can lend support can donate at www.sthuberts.org. For more information, contact St. Hubert’s at 973-377-7094 ext. 242.

How To Get Black Friday Deals

s Thanksgiving draws near, retailers begin dropping hints about their Black Friday promotions. Some stores have begun to open their doors on Thanksgiving evening, after many people have filled up on turkey and trimmings. Smart shoppers recognize that Black Friday is a great time to find deals on holiday gifts, and following these tips can help shoppers save even more. • Begin researching early. Since many retailers begin posting information online or send out advertisements about sale items far in advance of Black Friday, shoppers should pay attention to each retailer’s offerings so they can better coordinate their shopping efforts. Cross-reference prices against other stores, including both online retailers and traditional brick-and-mortar stores. • Establish a shopping budget. It’s tempting to go out shopping with credit cards blazing, but that may lead to overspending. Determine what you can afford and set a budget for Black Friday shopping. Establishing a budget can help you avoid impulse purchases as well. • Look for extra discounts. The early bird often gets the worm, but late shoppers also may benefit on Black Friday. Determine which times of the day stores are offering their biggest discounts. Doorbuster sales

tend to start very early, but such sales might be irrelevant if only items you do not need are being discounted. Determine if there are any additional sales that extend throughout the day. • Divide and conquer. Split up the shopping responsibilities so you and your family can get your shopping done quickly. The divide and conquer approach allows you to cover more ground and ensures someone will be there to claim the best deals from various retailers. • Dress comfortably for shopping. Malls and department stores may be crowded and can be warm, so dress in layers so you can remove clothing if you get hot. You’ll probably do a good deal of walking on Black Friday, so make sure to wear comfortable shoes. • Have discount codes at the ready. Many retailers now use digital apps or emails to keep in touch with customers. These same apps may enable smartphone users to search for discount codes and other coupons. Keep digital coupons handy so they can be presented quickly at checkout. Black Friday is one of the best days of the year to land steep discounts on a variety of merchandise and services. Make the shopping trip even more successful this time around.
