Rare Piece Of Art Found In Madison Council Chambers

By Jason Cohen rare piece of art that was thought to be lost to the art world for more than 80 years, was actually sitting in the Madison Borough Council chambers for several decades.

The Auguste Rodin marble bust of Napoleon Bonaparte entitled “Napoléon Enveloppé Dans Son Rêve (Napoleon Wrapped in his Dream),” which was purchased by Geraldine Rockefeller Dodge in 1935 and donated to Madison in 1948, was discovered two years ago in Borough Hall.

“While there were rumors for years that it was a Rodin, the foundation never thought it was actually carved by Rodin himself and treated it for the last 80 years as an unimportant piece of art,” said Hartley Dodge Foundation Trustee Nicholas Platt. The Hartley Dodge Foundation owns all the art work in the Hartley Dodge Memorial Building that serves as Madison’s Town Hall.

“There was no record anywhere of Mrs. Dodge purchasing it or how it came into the building and since the Foundation does not engage in rumors (and could not see the signature because it was pushed up against the wall and too heavy to move) until Mallory came along no one was able to prove the where, what, when, no one thought it worth the time to research it

further,” said Dodge.

The piece, which weighs 700 pounds and was littered with fingerprints, is now on loan to the Philadelphia Museum of Art. It is on exhibit to commemorate centennial of Rodin’s death, who is known as one of the most famous sculptors in modern history.

However, the search to verify the authenticity of the piece was not easy. In 2013, the Hartley Dodge Foundation hired then 22-year-old Mallory Mortillaro of Whippany to curate some art and catalogue photographs.

Mortillaro, who is a sixth grade English teacher at Lawton C. Johnson Summit Middle School in Summit, explained that she figured she would use her passion for art history and enjoy her temporary job, but little did she know that she would discover this long lost piece of art.

As she began her research, she was drawn to the bust, she recalled.

“It was an impressive piece of marble,” Mortillaro said. “I was definitely intrigued when it said Rodan.”

She saw there was a signature on it and realized it could be authentic. But, she knew much more was needed to verify if it was real. She started researching the piece and after about a month or so wasn’t makcontinued on page 6

Chatham Boy Scouts Celebrate 60 Years

T

By Jason Cohen he local Boy Scout troop in Chatham is celebrating its 60-year anniversary in 2017.

Chatham’s Troop 121 of Patriot’s Path Council meets regularly at the Presbyterian Church of Chatham Township.

The boys range from sixth grade to high school seniors.

While Daniel Doherty, 56, became Scoutmaster in January, he has a long history with Boy Scouts. He was achieved Eagle Scout in 1979, his son Alec, who is now in college, participated in the scouts and his other son, Matthew, 14, is in Troop 121.

“I’ve definitely watched a lot of boys grow through the program,” Doherty said. “I’ve watched the boys mature and gain knowledge of how to interact with adults.”

Over the years, the troop has gone on numerous trips and given back to the community on multiple occasions. Next summer, it has a trip planned

✓Kid Friendly ✓Gluten Free ✓Vegan/Vegetarian ✓Nut Free ✓Soy Free ✓Halal Chicken ✓Canola/Olive oil

to Seabase, the Boy scouts of America’s water based camp in the Florida Keys.

The troop has done this before, where it took a crew and ship and sailed for 10 days.

It has also been to Philmont Ranch, several times, which is the BSA’s ranch in New Mexico, where the troop hiked more than 100 miles in 10 days.

Philmont is regarded as a “pinnacle” in a Scout’s career.

“These experiences have bonded them together as a group and have also taught them how to work as a team,” he said.

Other trips have been to World Jamboree, where Scouts from all over the world gather for fun and celebration, like in Japan. This past summer, scouts from the troop attended the National Jamboree at Bechtel Reserve in West Virginia, the BSA’s high adventure camp.

The troop goes on an outing each month and scouts are required to spend a certain number of nights under canvas.

WE CATER

From a Chatham perspective, the Eagles have completed many projects that benefit the community. Most recently, Anthony Tessoriero and some of his classmates at Chatham High School created an App that guides drivers through Chatham’s historic sites.

There have also been scouts who mapped and pinpoint on GPS all of Chatham’s fire hydrants to help the fire department during periods of snow and emergency. Other scouts also created nature trails, clearing brush and building benches.

Doherty noted that with thousands of kids glued to

social media and their smart phones, being a Boy Scout means even more today than 20 or 30 years ago.

“These are skills that a lot of electronic programs don’t give the boys,” Doherty noted.

One of those youngsters is Senior Patrol Leader, Jonathan Field, an eighth grader at Chatham Middle School. Field said he fell in love with the scouts in elementary school and feels it has had a positive impact on his life.

Field, who is a Life Scout, the second highest rank a Scout can achieve, said Scouts has taught him how to be a continued on page 6

Mortillaro then contacted the Rodin Museum in Paris and was asked to fill out an application. She also sent pictures of the bust to Jérôme Le Blay, an expert on Rodin who lives in Paris, and within six hours, he knew what the piece was.

By Anya Bochman s schools across the country get ready for the Thanksgiving holiday and ask students to consider the meaning behind the day, Central Avenue School of Madison is focusing on a dif-

ferent form of gratitude. Titled “The Gratitude Campaign,” the Look for the Good Project endeavor kicked off in October and has shaped the way both staff and students of the school approach kindness and caring. continued on page 10

Gratitude Campaign... continued from page 9

The project, which originates with a Connecticut-based non-profit organization, makes CAS the first school in New Jersey to be affiliated with the Gratitude Campaign. Maureen Magnani, reading specialist and yoga and mindfulness coordinator at the school, was attending a workshop in Connecticut when she first heard of the endeavor. Intrigued by its values, she brought the idea before CAS principal Thomas Liss and guidance counselor Michael Shugrue.

As a result, a two-week campaign took over the school, both ideologically and physically – part of the project is a “gratitude wall” covered in thousands of colorful post-it notes listing things students are grateful for, as well as marked orange “gratitude spots” in the hallways that prompt children to pause and consider thankfulness.

AL PROFESSIOTN CARPE CLEANING

“I very much have witnessed [the campaign] affecting students,” says Magnani.

“They are wearing kind message shirts, and hopefully the message stays in their head.

It gave me goosebumps to see kids stop at the [gratitude spots] and say out loud what they are grateful for.”

In addition, fifth grade “kindness ambassadors” have been chosen to read daily messages of thankfulness over the school loudspeaker. The same children also carry “You Matter” cards which contain messages of kindness that they may choose to hand out to fellow students at random.

Ann Hollenbach, mother of a fifth grade ambassador at the school, who was also instrumental in putting together an original press release for the campaign, stated that she and her children have been having discussions about gratitude as a result of the project.

“Kids these days are into sports or ballet, which can be competitive things,” Hollenbach says. “It’s so unique for a school to reward kids for core values – it’s phenomenal for parents. It creates a positive environment.”

The Look for the Good Project, an initiative founded by Anne Kubitsky, “uses public art and gratitude to build a more peaceful community within schools, hospitals, public parks, and retirement centers.” At the heart of the project is an inspirational video about a humpback whale that was freed from crab traps by rescue divers and came back to “thank” them with affectionate behavior. The children at the school watched the video as an explanatory guide to gratitude and the spir-

it of the campaign.

“We try to build a foundation for students that is focused on mindfulness and kindness,” Magnani explains.

“My hope is that the campaign would lift the culture and climate of the school, help the kids focus on the many things for which they are grateful, and take some attention off the things that bother them,” states Michael Shugrue, school guidance counselor.

“We watched it work. Kids would stop on the gratitude spots when they thought no one was looking and pause for a second.

It was adorable and inspiring.”

A spring follow-up to the Gratitude Campaign is currently in the works at Central Avenue School.

Lucy’s Gift Boutiques Truly Unique!

ith humble beginnings selling handbags for charity events growing to opening two boutiques in two years, Lucy’s Gift boutiques were already operating at an amazing pace for any startup. Then they went global – with the launch of a brand new ecommerce site (www.lucysgift.org). That makes Lucy’s Gift super-successful. But what makes Lucy’s Gift truly unique?

How about the fact that they are giving all net profits to charity? That’s right. In addition to offering a wide variety of brand new, awesome jewelry, accessories, gift items and accessories, all net proceeds are contributed to charity at Lucy’s Gift, in support of the Maurice J. Spagnoletti Foundation (MJSF). Their mission? To end all violence.

Marisa Spagnoletti, owner of Lucy’s Gift, created MJSF (www.mauricejspagnoletti. com) in memory of her beloved husband, Maurice, who was tragically murdered in June of 2011. After soliciting the help of family and friends, establishing relationships with charitable organizations, and gaining corporate and medical sponsors, Marissa related: “The Maurice J. Spagnoletti Foundation lives on as a testament to

the fact that love, support and hope can make a real difference, one life at a time.

My gratitude is overwhelming for the support provided by my family, friends, and volunteers and, of course my spectacular support team!”

The LG support team consists of Marisa, other founding members, and a growing staff of super-friendly, experienced sales associates eager to help make buying decisions, as well as impart the mission of the company. Chonda Rosario was one of the first to join. “We all came to LG with different life stories, both sad and jubilant. What we now share is hope and purpose in fulfilling Lucy’s Gift’s mission. It’s wonderful to not just “go to work,” to be part of something worthwhile. To really make a difference. Our customers often return again and again, with generous spirits eager to join our mission. I especially enjoy helping young people find gifts for their mothers or teachers. Through their eyes I see myself as a young girl going through my mother’s jewelry box, full of wonder. Between us, Marisa is the dreamer and I’m the realist.

Together we make a great team!”

Yvette Tosado echoes Chonda’s feelings: “Lucy’s Gift is not just a “job” I go to. It is

my life. I feel when I am not there I have left my baby alone. We live this. Our vision is not only to help charities. It’s to be an inspiration to help others build a new life from tragedy. And it’s working! Every day customers come back in to share important moments and events in their lives, and I feel so connected to them.”

Marisa is the first to credit the importance of her team, family and supporters with the success of Lucy’s Gift. “Our shared vision became the “trunk” of this ever-growing tree that continues to blossom as retailers, wholesalers and fashion designers embrace our mission to help so many in need. As we approach the 6th year anniversary of my loss I’m finally able to find peace in all my charity work to honor my beloved husband. In under two years Lucy’s Gift has opened two boutiques and launched online–I truly feel my husband is smiling down on me! To all who have and continue to support us I am grateful beyond words. To those of you first hearing about us please stop into our shops or visit lucysgift.org online! Our work to help so many in need and END ALL VIOLENCE is our life’s mission. Please join us!

Vietnam Memorial – The Wall That Heals

T

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 insures that their names will not be forgotten and will be etched in stone forever.

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 veteran, 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.”

Vietnam Memorial Wall designer Maya Lin, was a 21-year-old Yale student when her proposal for the black stone monument won the largest design competition in American history. In fact, she

I

ing co ily to him Photo courtesy of VVWMF (Vietnam Veterans Wall Memorial Fund). 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 nev-

er forget. For many it unlocks memories, and begins the healing process.

Morris County Surgeon Seeks Kidney Donor To Save His Life

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 work-

ing.

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 mean-

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

Rubman is candid with what he is facing and what he is askcontinued on page 18

CHS Alumnus Donates Handcrafted Metal Cougar To School

C

hatham High School has a new addition to its auditorium circle: the “Pouncing Cougar.” The Cougar is a metal sculpture crafted by 2017 CHS graduate Joe Alfano, which he donated to the school in appreciation for all that CHS gave him during his time as a student.

Alfano spent more than 200 hours working on the Cougar, which included his senior internship experience. The Cougar weighs 1,100 pounds.

The sculpture isn’t Alfano’s only gift to CHS; he also crafted and donated a sound system made from a bass drum to the CHS tech department.

Alfano was a member of the CHS AP Art program, and he currently attends Northeastern University, where he is majoring in

ing 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.”

For further information or details on how to donate, go to www.marcsnewkidney.com.

mechanical engineering.

Te c h n o l o g y teacher Jason Mariano said, “In the four years I have come to know Joe, I have observed a bright and energetic student that loves the field of design.”

Art teacher Kiera Spadar said, “I am so proud of Joe’s accomplishment in seeing this project through to completion, and grateful to the school and district for appre-

ciating and validating Joe’s beautiful piece by displaying it so prominently outside of CHS and Lafayette. The art department frequently utilizes the ‘circle’ outside of the auditorium for landscape drawing, and it is really amazing to think about how many students will see the cougar, ask questions, be inspired, and incorporate Joe’s art into their own art pieces, memorializing it further.”

Madison Eagle Christmas Fund Kicks Off Holiday Giving Season

he Madison Eagle Christmas Fund (MECF) has begun collecting donations to help brighten the holidays for Madison residents in need. MECF is a proud Madison tradition that has assisted thousands of families and seniors in town for more than 40 years.

Last year, volunteers, donors, civic groups, and businesses teamed up to help 70 families and 60 senior citizens with financial challenges, providing holiday gifts such as coats, toys, books, grocery and gas gift cards for close to 300 Madison residents.

As this holiday season begins, the MECF is once again seeking help from local residents to continue the tradition of “neighbors helping neighbors.” MECF accepts cash donations and gifts collected from area businesses and schools.

Madison Junior School, Central Avenue School, King’s Road School, and Torey J. Sabatini School are collecting donations of new books, school and art supplies, such as crayons and coloring books, as well as gloves, hats and mittens for children up to

12 years old. Boxes are located in the entrance of all four schools so that children can drop the new, unwrapped items on their way into school. The boxes will be in the schools until Dec. 13.

“The MECF was inspired many years ago by resident Barbara Valk, who made an effort to remember some lonely senior citizens during the holidays to show her son that Christmas is more than presents under a tree,” said Gary Ruckelshaus, chair of the MECF. “It’s especially appropriate that school children are continuing this mission and helping with our efforts.”

The MECF raises about $30,000 annually, and relies solely on donations and volunteers to cover operating expenses.

To learn more about MECF and other local donation opportunities, visit http://madisoneaglechristmasfund.org/.

Tax deductible donations can be made by posting a check payable to the Madison Eagle Christmas Fund, PO Box 2, Madison, N.J. 07940 or directly through the site.

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.

Chatham High Seniors Selected For Water Works Conference

hatham High School seniors Amira Mouline and Alexandra Shaw were invited to attend the 2017 American Water Works Association New Jersey Fall Conference, which was focused on water sustainability.

The students were paired with mentors, who are professionals in the fields of environmental protection and water management. The conference was held at the Galloping Hill Golf Course in Kenilworth on Oct. 3.

Mouline and Shaw were selected to attend because they earned First Place for high school students in the American Water Works Association water filter building competition last March in Atlantic City.

Their design placed third overall in the competition, which included undergraduates and graduate students.

At the conference this month, Shaw was paired with mentor Brian Van Nortwick, an employee of H2M who works in water resources designing large scale water filters for water filtration plants. Mouline was

Roofing

paired with Kristin Tedesco, an environmental engineer at the New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection. The purpose of the mentorship program is to develop an ongoing personal and professional relationship with water professionals, who can provide guidance to mentees regarding college advice, resources for students interested in engineering, and internship information.

During the conference, the students were provided the opportunity to interact with their respective mentors, as well as to network with industry professionals.

Of her experience, Mouline said: “The Fall Conference gave me a chance to meet people who work in water engineering across New Jersey. My mentor works at the Department of Environmental Protection, so I got to learn about the efforts New Jersey is doing to protect our water supply and environment.”

Shaw said: “I really enjoyed the experience because our mentor took the time to explain the physics behind what we were

S

doing. Then we were able to apply fluid mechanics to improve our design’s effectiveness.”
