West Orange Couple Dedicates Treatment Room At JFS MetroWest To Fight Mental Illness

By Stefanie Sears ith the aim to translate their sorrows into hope for others, Mark and Eta Levenson have dedicated the Eric Eliezer Levenson Treatment Room to the Jewish Family Service of MetroWest in Florham Park.

The Levensons lost their son, Eric, on Feb. 4, 2016, when at the age of 28 he took his own life after a 14-year battle with depression.

“We, the Levensons, had approached JFS about making a significant donation to them, in memory of Eric,” they explain. “It was our hope that

W

our donation would make a difference in helping individuals and families fighting mental illness, ultimately preventing any more suicides.

In consultation with Reuben Rotman, the past executive director of JFS, the treatment room was suggested to us and we agreed it would be a fitting, and lasting, memorial to Eric and his life.”

Mental Health Counseling is the core agency service at JFS MetroWest that is frequently updated to serve the needs of the community. The Eric Eliezer Levenson Treatment Room is one of many rooms at the Florham Park

The Eric Eliezer Levenson Foundation for Hope, a suicide prevention focused foundation created this year by the Levenson family to support programs fighting mental illness, provided funding for the room in memory of Eric.

“Our basic message is that there

are people who love you and want to help you,” say the Levensons, “You are not alone. There are people to whom you are very important and for whom life would be significantly diminished without you. You are not a burden. There are people and programs out there who can help you get the help you need. You just need to reach out and take our

hand - we will guide you through this.

Don’t give up!”

Echoing those sentiments, Hennion says, “There is hope, there is help and you do not need to do it alone. Mental illness is not something to keep hidden and deal with alone. Approximately one in five adults in the U.S. experiences mental illness in a given year.

We as a society need to challenge the stigma, stereotypes and prejudice that result from misconceptions about mental illness.

Struggling with mental health issues is not something to be ashamed of and with proper treatment and support many people are able to overcome challenges to move towards health and

Mark and Eta Levenson healing.”

A dedication ceremony for the Eric Eliezer Levenson Treatment Room took place on July 25 with the Levensons in attendance.

The President of the JFS Board of Trustees, Marion Medow, addressed the Levensons at the event.

“JFS MetroWest will strive to preserve Eric’s memory and

honor his life. How fitting that his name be memorialized at JFS, where those struggling with mental illness are understood with compassion, sympathy, and respect.”

The Levensons have also made a previous gift in support of annual JFS programming in the MetroWest Jewish community to pro-

mote mental health education and understanding.

“With these and other funds, JFS MetroWest will train its staff on treatment modalities, offer programming in the MetroWest Jewish community related to the stigma of mental and provide educational programming on suicide cont. on page 4

East Hanover And Florham Park Schools Plan For An Excellent Year Ahead

By Catherine Bialkowski t East Hanover and Florham Park schools, the 2017-2018 school year looks bright. Filled with technology initiatives, research-based reading programs, and hashtags, the coming semesters will certainly encourage students to receive the best education their districts can offer.

Natalee Bartlett, East Hanover’s superintendent, is brand new to the position. She started August 18, and couldn’t be more delighted.

“I love it,” she says. “I have been a resident in town for the past 15 years. This is a dream come true, to be in the heart of this caring town.”

According to Bartlett, East Hanover schools are introducing a new hashtag-#WeAreEH-to stress the importance of community and demonstrate the coming together of a town that is “all about the children.”

“Schools are the mecca of the

A

Conran’s Plaza Next to Home Depot

community,” said Bartlett.

On Sat., Sept. 16, East Hanover school district sponsored Stuff-A-Truck at Lurker Park to collect items needed by Texas flood victims. This event is from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m., although the East Hanover police department will be a 24-hour drop-off location. Hygiene products, blankets, paper towels, hand sanitizer, socks, underwear, cleaning supplies, air beds, sheets, baby food, baby wipes, and other similar products are welcome.

During School Violence Week in October, students will experience Don’t Press Send, a presentation to discourage cyberbullying and “provide students and parents with strategies to navigate kind and caring interaction,” according to Bartlett.

“We’re hoping to make sure to create and implement strategies for students to develop into responsible first world citizens.”

When students returned to school Thurs., Sept. 7, they were

Students use technology in the classroom. welcomed back by faces old and new.

“We have so many new teachers this year,” said Bartlett, too many to count.

As for educational programs, the district will continue its successful 1:1 technology in the middle school, in which each child receives his or her own computer. This program allows teachers to use cross-curricular techniques that combine subjects such as

language arts and social studies.

Additionally, students will continue to learn through character education programs which focus on the “whole child.” Central Elementary School is nationally recognized by the New Jersey Alliance for Social, Emotional, and Character Development as a School of Character.

For Bartlett, the coming year incites excitement and gratitude. continued on page 7

I’M TIRED I’M BUSY

Excellent Year Ahead... continued from page 6 “I am just so excited to be a part of this amazing town and district,” she says. “I feel blessed. I can’t even tell you. It blows my mind.”

In Florham Park, exciting new programs and initiatives abound as well, hinting at another successful school year.

Dr. Melissa Varley, chief school administrator, described what she called the district’s “core area of focus” as literacy construction-learning to love reading.

“We recognize it as the foundation for all academic areas,” says Varley. “In fact, research shows that the single most important factor to elevating all areas of academic achievement comes from increasing the amount of reading students engage in.”

Last year, the district introduced a reading workshop and created a partnership with Columbia University’s Reading and Writing Project, or TCRWP. This helped students find their individual “Just Right Level,” a level that works for them and corre-

sponds to their unique needs as learners and readers. TCRWP, due to the excellent work of teachers and students at Briarwood, Brooklake, and Ridgedale schools, invited the district to pilot two books. Eighth-graders who participated were thrilled to have their work showcased at TCRWP institutes.

Florham Park school district will also begin a new STEM initiative at their middle school this year. The lab will be styled similarly to that of a real work environment, and students will have to use problem-solving skills.

They will have access to robotics, 3D printers, woodworking, and more.

Like East Hanover district, Florham Park will continue its 1:1 laptop initiative this year, providing laptops not only to the sixth graders but to seventh graders as well.

These neighboring towns, which share Hanover Park High School, have plenty in store to ensure their 2017-2018 school years are their most engaging years yet.

Premier Private Club Expands Facilities, Aims Higher In Charity Support

By Cheryl Conway his time next year, members of the exclusive Park Avenue Club in Florham Park will be enjoying its new large ballroom for banquets and events, as well as other renovations that include a full-time bar area for social networking.

A ceremonial groundbreaking event is being held at the club on Fri., Sept. 22, at 5 p.m. to inform its private members, invited guests and government officials about the renovations that began in mid-August. The permanent building being constructed is a project being funded by the Park Avenue Club Foundation and will replace the non-permanent tents, already removed from the site in early July.

The two tents- with its glass walls, carpet covered concrete floor and fabric ceiling- had been a part of the club’s property since 2000. Although useful for larger events, a permanent structure to replace the tents will provide more efficient accommodations to its members.

Tents “they very beautiful,” but “were difficult to heat and cool,” says Greg Smith, executive director of the Park Avenue Club for the past two years.

The facility is also located right on the airport path, says Smith. A more permanent structure with a roof will help drown any flyover airplane noise, provide HVAC heating and cooling as well as corporate technology, says Smith.

The 14,200 sq. ft. buildingwith estimated construction costs to reach $5.4 million - will include a large ballroom with the ability to be divided into three smaller rooms for meetings, bar/ bat mitvahs, receptions, as well as a separate area in the lobby for cocktail space, says Smith.

The facility, which will include “high dramatic ceilings,” will be able to accommodate 300 seated guests or 550 standing guests, as well as valet drop off.

Established in 1994, the Park Avenue Club is a private restaurant/dining club owned by the Park Avenue Foundation. Both are nonprofits established at the same time with a philanthropic mission to support local charities.

Dating back to 1894, the site was once a working dairy barn

T

for the Sisters of St. Elizabeth, and is registered as a historical site. Abandoned for years, the founders renovated the barn in 1992-1993, and the foundation took over as owners a year later.

The main structure provides eight dining rooms to its guests, whether it is to eat a meal, or meet for business meetings or social gatherings. These rooms can fit up to 100 to 120 seated guests, and more standing, says Smith.

The tent structure had been added in 2000 to provide a larger event space to its members, explains Smith.

Members of the Park Avenue Club enjoy a-la-carte dining of breakfast, lunch and dinner.

There are currently just under 1,000 members, most whom live or work within a 15 mile radius of the club, says Smith.

“We are hoping to grow that membership” to about 1,500 , says Smith.

“Our story is about growth in order to maintain our significance in the community and to our cherished members,” says Smith. “The addition gives us bigger and better event space.

There’s a lot of competition out there.”

The new permanent structure “is going to allow us to regain usage of our dining room,” for more consistent availability for al-a-carte dining to its members, says Smith.

“This planned growth via the 14,200 addition allows Park Avenue Club improved event spaces, but also very importantly allows us to add a casual eatery and bar to our current upscale dining,” he says. “And the entire project, with anticipated membership growth, is projected to almost double the Park Avenue Foundation distributions to its nonprofits; local charities and cultural organizations.”

Smith says “Our story is much more than a private dining and social club. Our story includes over $6 million dollars generated to deserving nonprofits; all local charity and cultural organizations, since 1994. Our story is about giving back to the community and truly going beyond dining.”

In order to dine or plan an event at the Park Avenue Club

one must be a member.

“It’s very affordable,” says Smith. “It’s not like a country club with a large initiation fee.

Smith describes it as a “very affordable, private dining club.”

Cost is $1,500 per year including an initiation fee of $1,500.

“By becoming a member you can enjoy fine cuisine, professionalism, you become part of a family,” says Smith. “You are part of a club with philanthropy.”

Monies that come in from club members, their dining and event planning, are then distributed to the foundation, explains Smith.

“The club supports the foundation,” Smith explains. Those monies are then allocated to currently 10 local charities such as Morris Habitat for Humanity, Community Food Bank of N.J., P.G. Chambers School, Boy continued on page 11

“New non-profits will be added as well,” says Smith.

The Park Avenue Foundation has a campaign goal of $3.5 million to offset cost of the renovations, says Smith.

Smith says the foundation is “hoping to show some growth in usage; hoping to increase to almost doubling the yearly distribution” to charities. Although each year varies, $400,000 has been allocated in a single year.

To support the foundation, some events are planned for members such as its annual gala; and for the public a 5K and Golf Outing.

“Anyone can join to be a member,” says Smith. “We are truly dining with a purpose. “We are beyond dining” because of its support to non-profits.

around the globe, from Los Angeles, to London, to China, says Smith.

In addition to fine dining, whether casual or with gloves, members can expect high quality cuisine as well as a “great staff” that has been highly tenured enabling it to provide that personalized experience.

“We consider our members family,” says Smith. “We know their likes, get to know their families, watch them grow, get to know their favorite tables.”

While menus change throughout the year, members can enjoy “contemporary twist to traditional cuisine.”

No matter their diet or preference, “We truly care about our members; we customize to fit their needs.”

The club is open Monday through Saturday for dining, as well as special member events, corporate functions, Sunday weddings and holiday programs.

Beautification, Safety Event Planned For Hanover Park HS 10 Year Anniversary

rganizers of the nationally recognized One Day One School beautification and safety initiative have announced a campus cleanup event at Hanover Park High School on Sat., Oct. 28.

The nationally recognized and award-winning program brings together tree experts, school officials, town representatives, local companies and students, all volunteering their own time and efforts to make their community school grounds cleaner and safer. The program was inspired by Tom “Ace” Gallagher of Ace Gallagher Stump Grinding Service of Whippany, when he noticed dead tree branches hanging over a path as he walked his son to Salem Drive School.

Having plenty of experience in clearing storm damage at various schools, Gallagher volunteered his company’s services after learning there was no budget to clean up the potential hazard.

Through the years, Gallagher, alongside planning teams from East Hanover, Florham Park and

Hanover Township, has maximized resources across multiple municipalities to support this beautification program.

The planning teams will include the municipal officials, law enforcement, school administration, organized sports, scouts, local individuals and businesses, along with organizations including Rotarians and The Knights of Columbus.

Many of the area’s best tree companies and landscaping services are on board once again, and they remain committed to making this day successful. The organizers are quick to identify the grassroots, voluntary nature of the program as the central key to its ongoing success.

“The entire initiative is based on encouraging students to come out to participate and take ownership of their schools,” Gallagher said. “It provides a way to give back to the community to provide our students and our community a school that is safe, beautiful and a place we can be continued on page 17

Stop By To Learn More About The Florham Park Senior Center

T

he Senior Center of Florham Park was built to enrich the lives of seniors and the staff there welcomes visitors eager to learn more about its programs and offerings.

For those who can’t get out often, a visit will offer a change of scenery. In addition, visitors can meet with many other seniors and get to know them. The center is a warm, homey building which is open Monday through Friday between the hours of 9 a.m. and 4:30 p.m.

Anyone who would like to visit the center and does not have transportation can call the center at 973-520-8984, and transportation will be arranged. Seniors do not have to be a member of any organization or club to use the center, as long as they are a Florham Park resident over the age of 62.

The center has a comfortable living room where seniors can watch TV, curl up with a good book, play a game, work a jigsaw puzzle, simply chat or enjoy a cat nap on the comfortable furniture. There is also a game room where most afternoons Rummi-

kub and various card games are being played. A flat panel TV, which can be used to play arcade games with the donated Nintendo Wii, is also available. The center also has a craft room where visitors can knit, crochet, sew or do a craft of their choice.

The center also has a WiFi network, so seniors can access the internet on laptops, smart phones or iPads. There is also a large kitchen with a refrigerator, stove and microwave. Seniors usually bring their own lunch, snacks and beverages, although the center has coffee, tea and related supplies which are donated. It also has a large room that can be divided in two for exercise classes, seminars, large meetings and movies. This room has easy access to the kitchen for serving its users, and a second flat panel TV for use in exercise classes, Wii bowling tournaments, etc.

It also has a large pull down screen, sophisticated sound system and a projector for movies and presentations. Outside trees have been planted and limited outdoor seating is available.

Did You Know?

ccording to the pet adoption service Petfinder, dogs chase their tails for various reasons. Some dogs may be curious about the appendage or have a predatory instinct, while others may chase their tails just to get some exercise. Tail-chasing may also be a nervous tick that’s indicative of the dog’s anxiety.

Flea infestation is another rea-

son dogs may chase their tails.

Some dogs may believe they can alleviate itchiness from flea bites by latching onto their tails. Dog owners concerned about excessive tail-chasing should discuss those concerns with their veterinarian, who may offer insight as to why the dog is chasing its tail and how to reduce that chasing in the future.

10-Year Anniversary... continued from page 15 proud of.”

One Day One School, now entering its 10th year, is based on the simple idea that a single day of volunteer teamwork will go a long way in making the community’s school grounds cleaner and safer.

Carol Grossi, superintendent of the Hanover Park High School Regional District, said: “It is an honor for me as superintendent of Hanover Park Regional High School District to be part of One Day One School.

This program gives us the opportunity to connect school to community through donations and volunteerism for the beautification and safety of our campus. I especially want to thank Ace Gallagher for initiating this program.

He is tireless in his efforts and I find that working in conjunction with him, local businesses, community members, students and district staff allows us to continue to improve upon the quality of life in our schools and communities.”

The day’s activities will begin with a collection of area tree care companies donating time,

equipment and services to prune and remove dangerous trees and branches.

They will then assist crews of volunteers in a complete cleanup of the area, and will finally supervise the planting of new trees and shrubs.

Gerard Freda, chair of building and grounds for the Hanover Park Regional High School Board of Education, said: “One Day One School saves the school district a substantial amount of money and that savings is passed along to the taxpayers of our entire school district. It alleviates a tremendous burden that we are faced with each year. We are thrilled that Ace and his team have chosen Hanover Park High School as the recipient of the 10-year-anniversary beautification and safety initiative.”

The first full-scale event took place in 2007 at Ridgedale Middle School in Florham Park, with many of the school’s own students among the group of enthusiastic volunteers.

Since then, the “environmental makeover” initiative has steadily expanded to include the participation of several addi-
