Students Write Book... continued from front page shita Mamoon, and Tejashree Nagaraj, won the prize for a very unique project: A children’s book produced in Braille to benefit blind and visually impaired children.

But for these girls, and Mount Olive itself, their book “I Cannot See But I Can Imagine,” is so much more than a school project for a competition. It is a tangible way for visually impaired children to fully experience the sensory delights of reading, and for the sighted to acquire an appreciation of what it is like to not be able to see.

Knowing that one of the best pleasures in life is reading-- picking up a book and getting carried away in it-- and how that pleasure is greatly diminished by blindness or visual impairment, these students set out to transform the reading experience for them.

When asked how they came up with the idea, the girls said that they were inspired

by Mt. Olive fellow schoolmate, 6th Grader, Caleb Mason who happens to be blind.

Putting their hearts into writing, creating, illustrating and producing “I Cannot

See But I Can Imagine,” Ramchandani, Mamoon, and Nagaraj not only created a winning book for blind students, they demonstrated a wealth of understanding, empathy and generosity of spirit about something generally not thought about.

As such, the book captured the hearts of people everywhere.

“This year, the competition focused on Children’s Stories which required the students to design a tactile book explaining a STEM topic of their choice for children with a disability,” explains Mt. Olive STEAM Teacher and Advisor, Beth Cohen. “The students needed to research children’s books in general, as well as the disability they chose, then they had to create the actual product.”

Cohen founded Mt. Olive’s TSA program in 2009. “The group meets after school where the students (individual or group) can choose a project to work on.

After preparing all year their work gets showcased at the event in the spring,” she tells.

The story of “I Cannot See, But I Can

Imagine,” explores the character of Liam, a teen who is blind. When his sister tells him of a brand new technology that can help visually impaired people better navigate their surroundings, Liam’s life is greatly improved. Yet, this story isn’t just a tale of the benefits of technology, it’s a story of how it enriches the character’s daily life and bringing his family together.

Ramchandani, Mamoon, and Nagaraj excitedly share that they all had a part in the creation of the plot. They were so passionate about what they were doing, they spent months writing, creating, illustrating and producing the book.

Ultimately their devotion shone through, exceeding the parameters of the goals of the TSA guidelines.

“The girls decided not only to create a book for a child with a disability, but also about a child with a disability to help spread awareness,” Cohen prides.

Through teamwork and enthusiasm, each of the three students brought something special to this unique book continued on page 4

Not All Headaches are Created Equal

lmost everyone has experienced a headache, at some point in their life, to varying degrees. In fact, roughly 45 million Americans suffer from Headaches each year. In today’s world, most people reach into the medicine cabinet for one of the various pain relievers to alleviate their head pain.

But what happens when that doesn’t work? Or, the headaches become more frequent and more painful? Some get headaches so often and so painful, they even take prescription drugs with side effects and no avail. But have you ever stopped to think, “What is causing my headache?” Headaches and more severe headaches, known as Migraines, can be caused by various triggers including foods, chemicals or preservatives in foods, allergens in the environment, chemicals in cleaning products or herbicides/pesticides, sinus congestion, tension in the neck or jaw, lack of sleep, dehydration, stress, and the list goes on… Sometimes the cause is completely unknown and with no relief the patient can be left hopeless, debilitated and in pain. An assessment by an Acupuncturist can often identify and treat imbalances (that are causing the headaches) that are unknown to the patient previously.

In Chinese Medicine not all headaches are created equally.

Rather, during an assessment, we evaluate the individual patient on many levels to determine their exact symptoms (i.e Is the headache frontal? One sided? Behind the eyes? Is there nausea?

Frequency and intensity of pain?....) and if there are any triggers.

We take a whole body approach and assess the patient’s physical condition as well as their constitution, emotional health, diet and lifestyle. Unlike the blanket treatment western medicine offers which is typically some type of pain reliever, Chinese Medicine

finds a specific treatment for each patient based on their individual symptoms. Five patients suffering “headaches” may receive five completely different treatments. By addressing the root cause, Acupuncture can be a safe way to prevent and treat various types of headaches, without the unwanted side effects of medications.

Based on the individual assessment and diagnosis, tiny needles are inserted into various points on the body. Depending on the case, small electrodes can be attached to specific needles that elicit a small electrical current. The feeling of the electric stimulation on the needles is a comfortable sensation that generally elicits a feeling of tingling, tapping or heaviness. The electric stimulation enhances the release of specific neurochemicals which aids in the treatment of headaches. The needles are typically retained for 20-30 minutes, during which the patient is left to relax and take a nap.

Acupuncture is known to be effective and can offer long standing results, but it is not always a quick fix. Especially if the headaches are chronic, several treatments may be required to achieve the full result. Again, this is because it is addressing the root cause and not just covering up symptoms like other treatments.

If you suffer from headaches or migraines start getting relief today! Use the following tips to achieve long- lasting results for a healthy life: Be aware, track food and environmental triggers to see if there are any patterns, get adequate sleep, eat a healthy diet rich in vegetables and fruits (limiting sugars and processed foods), drink plenty of water, manage stress with things like meditation and try Acupuncture!

Students Write Book... continued from page 2 through illustrations, writing, and technology.

“It’s a computer and printing program,” Cohen explains. “From the New Jersey Foundation for the Blind. Rewriting what is on the page by hand, it is fed into the computer. Bit by bit, what you see on the paper is raised-- It translates it into Braille.

You can write about anything, It’s great.”

The book works on so many levels engaging many of the senses, making reading a pleasure for visually impaired readers. There’s an old adage that a picture is worth a thousand words, and since “I Cannot See, But I Can Imagine, possesses a tactile component for it’s illustrations, these readers can experience that picture for themselves--something that an ordinary braille book does not provide.

“For example, if you wanted to create a springtime scene, you’d use puffy paint, fake flowers, and different fabrics for different textures,” Cohen enthuses.

Writing the brother/sister dynamic of

the story, and emotional relationships, was special to the girls. For both the writing in general and the fact that little children will enjoy the book.

For all of these girls, their hopes regarding their creation is the same: For those who have visual impairments, to get as much joy out of reading as they possibly can.

And for Mamoon especially, their project holds a special connection for her.

She shares that she has a sister who is half blind herself and she has high hopes for books such as these.

And Cohen agrees. While the TSA projects do not always benefit the community, Mt. Olive’s Braille Book carries the message that is inclusive and thoughtful. “Books like these are a nice opportunity for projects that serve a purpose, they have a deeper meaning and caring message.”

And she loves the idea that sighted people can additionally read “I Cannot See, But I Can Imagine.” She asserts that it

carries a positive message for them as well.

“It offers another perspective, it gives people a real idea what it is like to be visually impaired. It really opens the door to have appreciation and empowerment.”

Unanimously, Cohen, Ramchandani, Mamoon, and Nagaraj all agree that the most inspiring and special moment of all was way before submitting the book for the competition. When Caleb Mason read the book for the first time, it really illuminated the whole reason for the project.

“Watching the reactions of the girls and Caleb while he interacted with the book and read the braille correctly was a truly special and touching moment,” Cohen shares. “I’m glad the students had the opportunity to see the outcome of the hard work they’d put in and to see their product fulfill a purpose. To witness all of this unfolding was incredibly rewarding for me as their teacher.”

As for Mason, he has this to say: “I read the book. I liked it. They did a great job.”

Boy Battling Brain Cancer... continued from front page comfort.

This is particularly true with seven-year-old Hackettstown resident, Henry Aulenbach. He might be just like any other boy out there: He loves Star Wars and riding his bike (without training wheels) and Sesame Street’s Bert. But, Aulenbach is much more than your average seven-year-old. He is battling Medulloblastoma--a form of brain cancer.

Going to the doctor because he was suffering from severe headaches and vomiting on January 5th, the Aulenbach family received the shock of their lives when their son was diagnosed with a brain tumor.

Three days later, when he had surgery to remove it, he was diagnosed with brain cancer.

“Henry’s first six weeks of treatments were 30 days of proton beam radiation from

Monday through Friday with weekends off to the brain and spine once a week chemo treatment,” Mother Chrissie Aulenbach tells. “He is now in the middle of a one month break before beginning a six month course of heavy duty chemo for which he will be admitted to the hospital for several days out of every month.

The treatments have been very difficult,” she says, noting how Henry has experienced severe exhaustion, weakness, nausea, and pain. Treatments are slated to last until mid-fall.

It didn’t take long for the public to rally around this courageous fighter and the whole Aulenbach family. Everyone is seeking Hope for Henry. From family and friends, to the community, to the GoFundMe page set up to help the family with expenses so they could concentrate fully on helping their

son, Hope for Henry isn’t just the name of various accounts that people have made for him, it is so much more.

“The family is no stranger to helping others,” states Randolph’s Stephanie Coleman, organizer of the GoFundMe Page.

“Dave and Chrissie are the most positive people that you ever want to meet. Their positivity spreads all over the community--even from their kids.”

As friends and former neighbors, Coleman relates that her kids grew up with the Aulenbach’s twin sons, who are now

freshmen in college. “They both really care about the important things in life: children, education, family, making a difference,” she says. “Chrissie was on the Randolph Board of Education, she was musical, tutoring children in trumpet. Dave was not only a music teacher at Randolph, he was Vice Principal of the high school as well.”

Mentioning that Chrissie stopped working to take care of her son, Coleman shares, “I wanted to set up a GoFundMe page, not just to help out with continued on page 7

continued from page 6 the expenses that could really pile up, but because they have done so much for our community. They think nothing of giving back and helping others. Now it’s their turn. I believe in karma, what goes around, comes around.”

Henry Aulenbach has not only captured the hearts of the community, he has even heard from his favorite character on Sesame Street--Bert, a companion that is always with him.

“He loves Bert from Sesame Street,” Aulenbach relates. “It all started when he was a baby. I gave Henry his big brother Charlie’s old stuffed Bert from when he was little, and he just took to it. Even long after Henry stopped watching the show, Bert never leaves Henry’s side. Before he was sick, Henry just slept with Bert, but now Bert keeps him company everywhere.”

In a video message, Bert said, “Hi there, Henry. This is your old pal, Bert. I heard you were a big fan of mine. Well, guess what?

I’m a big fan of yours, Henry.” The character mentioned Henry’s love of basketball, his brothers, Pokemon and even The Beatles.

“Wow, wow, wow, this is unbelievable!”

Aulenbach enthused on Facebook. “Gosh this was such an unbelievable surprise for all of us, but especially for our little guy, Henry. I tried to record Henry’s reaction to it, but he asked me to just sit and watch it with him once it started. This is truly a selfless gift from everyone at Sesame who took their own time to record this video for our son who loves Bert so very much.”

“The Bert video came to fruition because of a wonderful family who lives in Wayne, where my husband Dave is a middle school principal,” she discloses. “Mike Catalano, husband and father of two, tweeted to Sesame Street about Henry and one thing led to another and next thing we know we received a package with a bunch of Bert’s from the Sesame Street Workshop and then the video, so incredible!”

A couple of weeks after, they additionally sent another video with even more characters wishing Henry well. Henry has even received videos from Mark Ruffalo, and the cast of the TV show Henry Danger.

“Henry’s prognosis is to be cured, that is the path we are on, and that is our only focus,” Chrissie Aulenbach asserts. “Henry is a very sweet, loving and empathic boy.

Even with all he is enduring, he is still worried about me, his mom. I have a rare disease known as Scleroderma, which is a hardening of the skin, vascular system connective tissue and organs,” she shares.

“He is very kind to me, telling me that I’ll be okay. He’s the most beautiful kid you’d ever want to meet. The nurses say they don’t see children like him, sweet and kind even when they are so sick. He’s one of a kind.

He’s a bright shining star.”

For the Aulenbach family they are so touched and honored by the outpouring of affection, generosity and goodwill from others, that they are truly bowled over.

From the cards, letters, Pokemon Cards, and mail packages that Henry has received, to the GoFundMe Campaign, to donations, fundraisers and utter support of the community, Chrissie Aulenbach considers herself blessed. “We are very grateful to everyone,” she praises. “It’s been incredible so far to see such a cheering section for Henry.”

Mount Olive Robotics Teams Wins Award in World Competition

T

By Steve Sears he Mount Olive High School Robotics, M.O.R.T. 11 team recently competed in the FRC (First Robotics Competition) World Robotics Competition in Detroit, capturing a Pit Safety Award.

“The judges when giving us the award said that the competition itself was extremely hard as there are world class teams, but they wanted to reward us with recognition for embracing the culture of safety through outreach and programs,” says Megha Thyagarajan, Safety Lead for the team since 2017. “I was beyond thrilled for I could not believe that out of all the teams in the world, we received this award.

It was a testament for the work that we’ve done this season and an inspiration to work even harder next season.”

Per Thyagarajan, being Safety Lead entails a great deal of work, responsibility and leadership skills. “I have to ensure that people follow the protocols set in action for their own benefit. Although it becomes difficult nearing the competition season

because everyone has a rush of adrenaline and all they think about is competition.

In these moments, it is my job to remind them of simple things such a tying up their hair or wearing their safety glasses. Other than the basics of ensuring safety towards our students, I try to share safety as a general concept. This means that our team participates in safety outreach spreading it to our community and others alike. All in all, being Safety Lead can be stressful, but it’s a rewarding position for keeping your teammates safe and alive.”

There are ways ways a team can qualify for world competitions. M.O.R.T. 11 participated in two district events where they earned enough points to qualify for district championships. “Although, our team participates in a regional event (bigger than a district) outside of our general area to provide our team with more experience and opportunity. At the regional event, we were placed 10th and got picked by the first alliance. With this alliance, we were able to make it as finalists of the entire regional

and we then received a wildcard that let us qualify for worlds. At worlds itself, there are divisions with around 60 teams, if you win your division you then compete against the division winners to get crowned World Champions,” explains Thyagarajan.

Senior Lauren Turi, who has been a member of the team since her freshman year, is one of two Student Technical Leads.

“The function of a technical lead is to oversee the other student leads and all projects pertaining to the technical side of the team. The main project is the production of the robot that must be ready to compete within six weeks.”

Although Robotics is offered as part of curriculum, M.O.R.T. 11 is its own club independent of that class. It’s also time consuming. “Robotics is something that takes up every bit of free time so balancing schoolwork can definitely be a challenge,” says Turi. “I try to get as much done in school as I can, whether that’s during lunch or when I have free time during class becontinued on page 14

Matthew Otey is the fouryear Lead Mentor/Project Manager for FRC Teams 11 & 193, and also is a teacher of Physics First, Chemistry, and Integrated Science. “The robotics teams, M.O.R.T. 11, has been around for 23 years. Our junior varsity team, M.O.R.T. Beta 193, has been around for seven years and they were the first “junior varsity” FRC team in the world,” he proudly states. He also sees beyond the competition and speaks to the overall benefit.

“This program is important because it is a real-life application of many different skill sets on both the engineering and business fronts. The teams operate like a small start-up company with R&D, budgeting, communication, prototyping, manufac-

turing, testing, marketing, and community outreach. Even more so, this program is the fullest extent of what education these students can experience in their time at the high school, tasking them to think on the fly and work with each other to overcome enormous obstacles and successfully apply a wide range of skill sets through collaboration and perseverance.”

The future for the Robotics program is to further work within the community to strengthen STEAM (science, technology, engineering, arts, and math) education within Mount Olive and its neighboring communities. “Furthermore,” says Otey,” we are extending our network further, creating more connections with teams from our state as well as our country and internationally.”

Hackettstown Rallies Around 12-Year-Old Girl with Cancer

S

By Dawn M Chiossi imple acts of kindness. at 12 years old, that’s the philosophy that Hackettstown resident Madeline (Maddy) Holloway lives by. She loves animals, cooking and baking, her family, movies, the beach, and makeup (a passion that stemmed from when she was just four years old). She plays softball and volleyball.

In many ways she is a typical middle school student. Except she is facing the battle of her life--cancer.

Recently diagnosed just before Easter of this year with Osteosarcoma (originally thought to be Ewing Sarcoma), Holloway’s cancer was discovered via MRI when she went to the doctor suffering from hip pain, almost like a pulled muscle.

Osteosarcoma is a type of bone cancer that begins in the cells that form bones. It most often forms in the long bones of the arms and legs, but can occur in any bone.

The disease tends to occur in children and young adults.

Now this gregarious girl who is always ready to laugh, joke, and give to others, is

now battling a cancer that leaves her exhausted and in pain.

“Maddy is now using a wheelchair or walker to move around due to the high amount of pain. Often Maddy will sleep in a new sit to stand recliner as it is too uncomfortable to sleep in her bed,” explains Lisa Holloway, Maddy’s Aunt. Additionally, when she heard of her niece’s plight, she immediately organized a GoFundMe Campaign to help out the family. The town of Hackettstown quickly followed, rallying around this generous girl, giving back, seeing what they could do, and generally just being supportive.

In the span of just one month, the campaign has raised approximately $29,845 of the $50,000 goal by 337 people and it is still on the upswing.

“I was informed that some parents have been left with medical bills in the hundreds of thousands after insurance. That made me panic about getting the best care for Maddy regardless of money. On top of that, her mother immediately had to take continued on page 16

12-Year-Old Girl with Cancer...

continued from page 15 the Family Leave Act from her full time job to give full time care to her daughter,” Holloway relates.

She shares that Maddy is facing a minimum of one year chemotherapy and reconstructive hip surgery to remove the tumor and that all of her doctor visits and treatments take place at Sloan Kettering Hospital in New York City.

“Each round of chemo last for about six hours, four days per week,” Holloway explains. “Maddy had a port put in to make it easier to administer the chemotherapy drugs rather than constant needle sticks.”

In addition to the physical symptoms of nausea and exhaustion, Maddy is feeling anxiety about the unknown and sadness missing special times with her family and friends.

And she’s a typical girl as well. “She was also a little bit angry when she had to cut her hair due to her chemo,” Holloway confides. Upon seeing her niece who she describes as very loving and generous, and always willing to share, has this to say about her. “She’s the bravest, most selfless girl I’ve ever met.”

Upon hearing about Holloway’s situation, and learning that sometimes Maddy and her mother, Ann, have to take as many as three round trips into New York from New Jersey per week, the community of Hackettstown has metaphorically rolled up their sleeves and pitched in.

There’s an old adage that when people want to support others, but don’t exactly what to do, they should do it with food.

Friends of the Holloway’s quickly did just that by organizing a food train to make sure that the family (which includes Maddy’s twin sister Sydney, and older sister Gemma) was well fed; that they didn’t have to worry about cooking or preparing meals during this difficult time.

“This is just amazing,” Holloway enthuses. “People have been so amazing rallying together for us. There’s been lots of homemade meals as well, delivery, gift cards such as GrubHub, it’s great to have that burden lifted off of us and know that everyone is getting a good meal.”

Hackettstown Middle School is doing their best to fundraise for Maddy as well.

“Teachers at her school organized a ground of kids to make bracelets to sell at the

Hackettstown Fair. Tee Shirts have been designed and are being sold for $10.00.”

Holloway tells. Additionally, the softball teams will be selling homemade treats at all of their home games.

For herself, Holloway is awed by the support that the community has shown to help her family. “The amount of love and detail and willing to go above and beyond to make sure that my family is okay and surviving this battle is more than we can possibly describe,” she remarks. “From meals just to make sure that everyone is fed, to making sure that Maddy’s sisters have rides, or just checking in on us is so greatly appreciated.”

Maddy Holloway embraces that generosity and despite her condition, still seeks to share it with others. Her aunt relates that she had said this: “When I am all better I want to take whatever is left over and give it to the other kids in the hospital with cancer who need it, kids that don’t have the support system that I do.”

service ministry consists of a donation network whereby individuals, families and businesses are invited to donate gently used and new children’s clothing at any time through-

out the year to God’s Closet.

Then, one day per quarter, God’s Closet will open for parents and guardians of children to come ‘shop’ free of charge, continued on page 20

with the exception of a small admission fee – usually $1.00, from our selection of donated supplies.”

Garve says, “The need is great! We service everyone, from anywhere who needs our help; including the unemployed, large families, single families, victims of fire, the immediate loss of a parent or guardian.”

She then adds, “I wish that we could do more; be effective to needs outside of the quarterly events.”

God’s Closet relies on drop-off donations, which are then sorted by size and gender. Donations of gently used children’s clothes, Boys and Girls sizes 6 – 12, are the prime need, and these sizes often run out of stock before the end of each event. It’s a huge job for the administrative team of seven and about twenty volunteers. Sometimes a portion of the donations are rejected and given to other charities because the clothes are stained, have holes, or are worn out.

Free shopping events are scheduled for the first Friday in February, May, August and November, 9 a.m. to 1 p.m.

Garve says the public can help out in numerous ways. “Donate a secured donation bin for drop off donations at our location. We are looking for a business that will place a well needed donation bin at their location. We welcome schools, corporate offices, and businesses who will take one of our blue bins in their location for a winter coat drive this fall.

Donate back to school ‘care packages’ for the next event in August. ‘Care packages’ includes the basic back to school necessities.”

God’s Closet Hackettstown, as a community service ministry, is run by volunteers. Garve elaborates. “We welcome all students who require community service hours for college applications. From time to time we have exchange students who are eager to serve, we welcome them as well. We are always seeking volunteers,

of all ages, from high school age to active seniors in our community. The Wednesday before our event is Community Volunteer Day, where the community is invited to come and help with sorting and setting up the Closet for the free event.

Most of our volunteers were shoppers and are so willing to volunteer. They are very zealous and encouraging.”

As an incentive, volunteers are welcome to shop on Community Volunteer Day, so that they do not have to shop on event day itself.

God’s Closet Hackettstown is located at 927 Route 517 in Hackettstown. Visit www.godscloset.com or call (973) 2160024.

Mount Olive History Comes to Life in Mural at Tinc Road School

W

By Melissa A. Kay alk through the main front doors of Tinc Road School and you will see a dramatic change that is full of color, creativity, and childhood dreams. A brand new mural spanning over 100 feet is finally complete, adding an eye-catching flair to the formerly lessadorned walls students and faculty had gotten used to seeing. A combination of

talent, hard work, cooperation, and lots and lots of paint made this magical work of art come to life, bringing a beautiful taste of all things Mt. Olive to the school from the painters’ perspectives.

As Tinc Road School Principal Scott Lipson explains, “The mural represents an appreciation of our community and what has made Mt. Olive such a great place to live in, and the features of our

school that make it such a great place to learn in. On one side of the hallway, there are local landmarks like the Mt. Olive Library, Turkey Brook Park, Budd Lake, and Pax Amicus. The other side of the hallway highlights our school, like our Variety Show, our students’ interest in sports and academics, our playground and buddy bench, and our annual Tug of War champicontinued on page 22

Mural at Tinc Road School... continued frompage 21 onship during Field Day.” This combination of area attractions and personal favorites is a testament of how beloved Mt. Olive is to those who live there. Residents can now see how the Tinc mural captures these hometown treasures, something that will welcome students to school each and every day for years to come.

While this mural is quite the masterpiece, it is actually not the first the school has displayed. Lipson shares, “This is the first time something this massive has been done at our school. A Girl Scout troop created a mural in our cafeteria many years ago, but nothing this large that involved all of the students.” Speaking of involvement, Lipson notes how everyone chipped in to make the magnificent mural come to life.

“During the first week, the muralist (Ms. Olmsted) sketched everything out, while parent volunteers helped paint the backgrounds, the sky, etc. During the second week, every class came for a 45-minute period to learn about the process and paint a portion of the mural. Parent vol-

unteers also assisted during this time with spills and putting students’ handprints in the grass. The last week had the muralist and some parents put final touches on the mural.” From an idea came a work of art!

Why the mural? Aside from paying homage to Mt. Olive and all its finest features, Lipson says, “I like when the students can all collaborate on something together. Last year, our art teacher brought in a mosaic artist to create mosaic panels that are now hung up in our foyer. I had worked with Ms. Olmsted in my previous district, and since our school just went through a major renovation over the summer, I thought it would be a great initiative for this year.”

And this mural may not be the last Tinc students and staff will create collaboratively. The process and teamwork was such a success, not to mention the end result which is truly remarkable. Lipson hopes to do something special like this again in the future, allowing for a new set of students to get in on the artwork

Kids and adults alike are in awe of the new mural, noticing interesting and intricate new details every time they stop and stare. The engagement and enjoyment the students had while the mural was underway was something the staff loved witnessing, and “everyone involved is proud to leave a lasting mark on the school,” beams Lipson.

The Mt. Olive community is one of caring, commitment, and dedication, something the folks at Tinc certainly take to heart. Only people who truly adore their environment and those they share it with can create a visual representation that truly reflects their fondness of the place they call home.

OMG Burger Joins the Popular New Jersey Burger Battle

T

By Steve Sears he top of Schooley’s Mountain, with a view that many live for, is a place to unwind and enjoy that scenery.

Now, enjoy that view while devouring a great burger and a great burger place, and you may feel like you’ve been transported to heaven.

That place is OMG Burger & Brew (141 Schooley’s Mountain Road, Long Valley, 908-867-7778, www.omgburgerandbrew.com), housed in a beautiful new building with timber construction.

Owned by Steve and Andrea Bussel, the same folks who own Long Valley Pub and

Brewery, OMG Burger & Brew offers both national and local tap beers. OMG Burger & Brew is located directly across from Rock Spring Park, so a nice respite is available either before, during (think takeout), or after your meal.

OMG Burger & Brew calls home a custom-designed building featuring a high timbered ceiling and vintage panel fans. Concrete flooring and sixfoot custom Sputnik chandeliers bring everything full circle for a modern touch. Enjoy a favorite beer, cocktail, or other favorite drink at the full-sized bar or enjoy the same over discussions beside the outdoor fire pits.

Nightly Specials Available

OMG Burger & Brew is unique in that, while it indeed offers delicious beef burgers, vegetarian needs and wants are not elbowed with regard

to selection. Quite the contrary. Andrea Bussel is doing her best to make the menu very vegetarian friendly, and continued on page 25

OMG Burger... continued from page 24 she is succeeding. There is no shortage of options to choose from. “The spring menu will have both the Impossible Burger (meat-free and made with sliced sharp cheddar, fried onions, boom-boom sauce and fire-roasted corn salsa on a Martin’s potato roll) and the Beyond Burger (the world’s first plant-based burger: meatfree, as well as gluten, soy, and GMOS-free, with protein from green peas and color from beet juice) as well as four housemade veggie burgers. One is the Green Monster, which is kale, peas, and broccoli; a quinoa burger, a red beans and rice burger, and a curry lentil burger.” Bussel also every

month has a different burger of the month, and so far, the Green Monster Veggie Burger has been the most popular. Another nifty menu option being introduced is the Beyond Sausage sandwich. “We also carry vegan cheese, gluten-free buns – I’m trying to cater to everybody.” Also available are super cod, crab cake, and savory chicken sandwiches, and much more – that “much more” extending well beyond the menu.

OMG Burger & Brew is a destination for all, and not just because taste isn’t neglected in the name of good health.

It’s atmosphere, service, something for folks of all ages. “It’s perfect for everybody,” says Bussel. “I get young kids on a

Mount Olive Resident Shares Love of Reading

L

By Anya Bochman ittle Free Library is a nonprofit organization that aims to inspire a love of reading, builds community and sparks creativity by fostering neighborhood book exchanges around the world. Through the organization, millions of books are exchanged each year, profoundly increasing access to books for readers of all ages and backgrounds.

Toni McGovern, of Budd Lake, first heard of Little Free Library while visiting relatives in Chicago. When a distant cousin explained the concept, McGovern became enamored with it, thinking it a “neat idea.”

When she returned from her trip, the recently retired library administrator decided to turn a bench outside her house

into a receptacle for books.

“The bench has a nice view of the lake, so it’s a great place for people to recirculate and share books,” McGovern said.

The idea behind the project is simple; neighbors, friends and passersby are free to take a book they would like to read.

They can read it while enjoying the view of the lake from McGovern’s library-bench, or take it with them. Patrons are encouraged to “pay it forward” by returning the book, or adding another one to the collection.

It’s a system that is more casual than that of a town library, encouraging participation and neighborhood socializing. The idea for the non-profit organization was started in 2009 by Todd Bol of Hudson, Wis. In a tribute to his late mother, who

Toni McGovern’s “book bench”

was a teacher with a passion for reading, Bol built a model of a one-room schoolhouse.

He filled it with books and put it on a post in his front yard.

The small structure proved so popular with his friends and

neighbors that Bol constructed several more and gave them away.

Together with Rick Brooks, a program outreach manager at the University of Wiscontinued on page 34

Mount Olive Board of Education Honors Those Killed in Bus Crash

T

By Steve Sears urkey Brook Park in Mount Olive is home to many things, but perhaps the main one is reflection.

There is Memorial Park, which upon entry can be viewed and visited to the right, where remembered are fallen war heroes.

Now, a short drive halfway into the park yields a new point of memory. The Mount Olive Board of Education has purchased a bench that was donated in memory of the Paramus student and teacher, Miranda Vargas and Jennifer Williamson, both who died in a fatal Route 80 bus crash in May of 2018.

The bench, after “Paramus Strong, May 17, 2018 Donated by Mt. Olive Township Schools Transportation Department” was inscribed on it, was

placed in the Dog Park section of Turkey Brook Park off of Flanders Road in Budd Lake on Friday, May 17, 2019.

The dedication ceremony took place on the one-year anniversary of the devastating accident. There were about 60 people in attendance at the ceremony, including Town Council President Joe Nicastro, Vice-President Alex Roman, Councilman John Mania, and Mount Olive police officers. Bus Driver Sherry Ottoson sang “Amazing Grace”.

The bench sits side-by-side with a large stone bearing the inscription, “Dedicated to those Lost in the Paramus Bus Tragedy and the Heroic Actions of our First Responders.” Located in a quiet area of the park, the new bench is the perfect spot to sit,

enjoy nature, and contemplate and remember.

Members of the Paramus School District were invited but were unable to attend due to memorial ceremonies planned in their own district.

“The decision to purchase the bench was made by the Transportation Department staff,” says Pamela Nicholais, Transportation Department Supervisor, who spoke at the event.

The bench was paid for by Transportation Department Members through contributions, and the purchase price was $720.00.

“The Transportation Department felt it was a good gesture to honor everyone affected by the accident,” says Nicholais. “Our hearts go out to everyone affected.”

Nicholais, speaking at the event, said,

“We come together as one unit, as a school transportation department, to dedicate this park bench to remember the Paramus School District, known as ”Paramus Strong”.

She then added, “We remember The Paramus School District. We feel their pain, their sorrow, their loss, for all the affected people, and especially for families of student Miranda Vargas and teacher Jennifer Williamson.”

Nicastro also offered the following. “This was a very nice thing

for the Mount Olive Department of Transportation to do in remembrance of the lives lost on that tragic day. I want to thank all those bus drivers who have a huge

responsibility each day as they transport our children to and from their homes. I want to thank them all for their work and dedication to the safety of our children.”

Love of Reading... continued from page 30 consin-Madison, Bol saw an opportunity to create a widespread book-sharing network, inspired by the “take a book, leave a book” model popular in coffee shops and various other venues.

Media attention in 2011 helped bring the organization much-needed exposure; today, the libraries number at around 80,000 and can be found in over 90 countries, with millions of books exchanged annually.

As she only started the project a few weeks ago, McGovern currently has about 50 books in her collection, items she purchased mostly at library book sales. The books vary in genre and target age demographics. McGovern, who is using Facebook to spread the

word about her book bench, hopes that as the weather gets nicer, the bench will receive more traffic.

“In the summer, kids can wander over, and stay out of trouble that way,” McGovern joked.

The Little Free Library staff provides volunteers like McGovern with library building instructions, online resources and access to free or discounted books through their partners.

According to an informal 2017 survey of over 3,000 Little Free Library stewards, three out of four people reported that they’ve read a book they normally would not have read because of a Little Free Library.

Additionally, 73 percent of people credited their local Little

Mt. Olive Elementary Students Work at Businesses to Learn How School Relates to Their Future Careers

T

By Elise Phillips Margulis ake It Out is a new program at the Chester M. Stephens Elementary School that allows students to visit different businesses and learn about them by performing tasks. The program enables students to understand how their education relates to their future careers.

Ann Scotland, a teacher at Chester M. Stephens, described how the initiative was conceived. She and Principal Moore were “reflect[ing] on some of last year’s lessons that left an immediate imprint on the hearts and minds of our students. The experiences that came to mind were the second grade Kindness Tour, the School Wide Cultural Night, the third

grade ShopRite visit, the Kdg mystery community helpers and the fifth grade Treps Market Place to name a few. Each one of those moments offered a final piece to the puzzle of the ‘why’ behind our learning.

Each unique moment gave a completed picture for our boys and girls of what school can offer them.”

The process of choosing which students go on each trip is as follows. Third to fifth graders are invited to “apply” for the job. They fill out an application and submit it to their homeroom teacher. The job winners are chosen via a lottery drawing and one student from each class goes. Fifteen students are included on each trip. Some students apply to

all the trips. Others applied to the businesses that interested them. Some children didn’t apply to any of the outings.

The monthly Take It Out trips began in October 2018. So far students have been to the Mt. Olive Library, the Mt. Olive Police Station, WRNJ Radio Station, Chili’s Restaurant, Das Creamery and Ashley’s Farm.

In June the participants will get together to discuss what they learned during their visits to the businesses.

Here are some of the tasks the students participated in: At the library they read to younger visitors and checked out books.

While visiting the police station they listened to “mock cases” and wrote up reports. The students also used the police radar to check the speed of cars. At WRNJ Radio they worked the equipment and wrote commercials with Mr. Dave Kelber encouraging community members to share in the Kindness Tour. At Chili’s they prepared dishes and practiced taking orders from the computer screen as well as serving food. When they were at Das Creamery they made their own ice cream,

took orders and served the ice cream. They learned about irrigation, how to operate machines to drill holes, planting and watering seeds, how to plant lettuce (supply and demand) and about raising turkeys at Ashley’s Farms.

The students became very motivated as their book learning transformed into real life actions. Scotland noted that the children are extremely enthusiastic when “everything comes alive off the pages of a book and becomes real.” The objective was to expand the classroom into the community.

The students benefit immeasurably when they understand how school directly impacts their future and realize why their education is so important.

Scotland explained, “We want our boys and girls ’future ready’ and to offer them the ‘why’ behind his/her learning.

The Mount Olive Community is a great resource for our children to learn from. There are many talented people that can demonstrate the framework of what skills and tools are needed when serving others. The stucontinued on page 40

Freeholder Cabana Inducted into NJAC Statewide Hall of Fame

M

orris County Freeholder Director Doug Cabana was inducted today into the New Jersey Association of Counties’ inaugural Freeholder Hall of Fame during an event held in Atlantic City.

Cabana, who is a Boonton Township resident, was one of a dozen freeholders from across New Jersey to be honored for their leadership, commitment to county government, and 20 years of public service as elected freeholders.

The award was made during the President’s Luncheon at NJAC’s 69th annual county government convention, this year at Caesar’s in Atlantic City.

Freeholder Cabana is the longest-serving member of the Morris County Board of Freeholders, having joined the

board in April 1997.

He is a former freeholder director who was elected by his colleagues to that post in 2000, 2001, and again in 2017, 2018 and 2019. He served as deputy director in 1998, 1999, 2011 and 2012.

A past president of the New Jersey Association of Counties, it was under Freeholder Cabana’s leadership in 2006 that the association became an initial driving force behind the now popular concept of “shared services.” He continues in 2019 as Morris County’s representative to that statewide association, a role he has held since 1999.

Cabana was mayor of Boonton Township for six years and a member of the township’s governing body for 11 years.

Local Dentist, Dr. Ira Goldberg, Lectures Internationally on Dental Implants

D

r. Ira Goldberg, a leading local authority on dental implants, recently wrapped up a round of educational lectures in Montreal, Canada.

A long-time member of the AAID (American Academy of Implant Dentistry), Dr. Goldberg was asked to lecture to a group of over a hundred doctors. As a respected educator, its not uncommon for Dr. Goldberg to share his knowledge and expertise with others.

The topic he spoke about was follow-up and maintenance regarding “full arch dental implants.”

“Full Arch Dental Implants,” commonly known by a variety of names such as All-On-Four®, is a technique to help patients who have advanced gum disease, infections, missing teeth, or teeth that are simply beyond repair. It is a popular procedure because complicated problems can be repaired in just a few appointments. “We perform AllOn-Four® on a regular basis,” reports Dr. Goldberg. “For this reason, its important to know how to provide follow-up care once treatment is completed.

We’ve developed comprehensive systems to provide these services, and this is why I was

asked to share my knowledge with other dentists.”

In addition to speaking in Montreal, Dr. Goldberg was also recently requested to speak to other dentists aspiring to learn dental implantology.

He lectured to a group of dentists regarding the process of performing Full Arch Dental Implants, along with preparation to take Associate Fellowship and Fellowship exams for the AAID. “The AAID is one of the world’s largest dental implant organizations. Its important for dentists who want to perform dental implantology to obtain formal education. Achieving credentials in the AAID proves to the public that the dentist they select for their implant care is well educated and competent.”

Not only is Dr. Goldberg a Fellow of the AAID, but he is also a Diplomate of the American Board of Oral Implantology / Implant Dentistry. This is the highest level of credentialing a dentist can achieve in the arena of Dental Implantology. This is one of the reasons Dr. Goldberg is so highly respected and sought after.

When asked about his role as an educator to other den-

tists, Dr. Goldberg thoughtfully stated, “I’ve always heard that when you’re passionate about something, it shows. I’ve been providing implant services for over 24 years, and I’m always excited about it. I guess that’s why other doctors and dental professionals ask me for my thoughts, help, and guidance.

Its quite an honor, I love to

share.”

Dr. Ira Goldberg is the owner of Morris County Dental Associates in Succasunna. He performs all phases of implant dentistry, and rarely are referrals required. For a free consultation, please call his office at (973) 328-1225 or visit his website at www.MorrisCountyDentist.com

Students Work at Businesses... continued from page 35 dents enjoy utilizing their academics on the trips.”

The students’ reaction to Take It Out has been very positive. Sara Halter gushed, “the trip to Ashley Farms was a lot of fun.

I loved it! My favorite part was getting to plant the herbs in the green house and also the seeds. I was surprised to learn that turkeys can be separated so quickly after birth, since they will only be 14 hours old when they get to the farm.” Logan Marangon said, “I learned a lot at the police station. I never knew that the police officers had to write so many reports. They have to be really good writers and be able to include all the key details in their reports. I think CMS should keep doing Take It Out. It was so fun to go there and it was really educational. I would definitely tell my friends to apply”.

The businesses that host these visits were happy to customize the experiences to ensure the children were assigned age appropriate tasks. Each business worked hard to guarantee that the children learned what it was like to work for them and which

skills were required.

Scotland noted that “Each business offered a unique experience that connects back to school. Clarity was provided for the boys and girls as to why they need to learn the many different subject matters throughout the school day. They are becoming ‘future ready’ as they prepare their minds with skills that will be of service in life. We are so grateful for this added motivation. Everything comes full circle and connects the importance of his/her education.”

Scotland wants to thank the businesses that welcomed the students to their establishments. The teachers, students and parents are all grateful to the generous businesses that participated in Take It Out. They donated supplies, time and their expertise. If there are other businesses that would like to partner with the school for the 2019-2020 school year, they can contact either kevin.moore@motsd.org or ann. scotland@motsd.org to make a difference and inspire students.

Scotland summed up the students’ in-

valuable experience. “The students get to see and share in the collaboration among employees. In that moment they get a taste of the business’ vision, plan out what to do, implement skills and assess the experience with Mr. Moore. They also witness how great character and kindness completes the picture. It is magical.”

Morris County’s Summer Reading 2019: A Universe of Stories

eady for summer reading 2019? This year’s theme for summer reading is science. The slogan, “A Universe of Stories,” was chosen by library professionals to help inspire children of all ages to dream big, believe in themselves, and create their own story. Summer reading encour-

ages children to read books, win prizes, and provides many benefits for children. Children develop a positive attitude towards reading, books in general, and the library. Children are also practicing and maintaining their reading skills during summer vacation.

Amanda Ort, Washing-

ton Township Public Library Youth Services Librarian, commented that, “Join a ‘Universe of Stories’ this summer at your local library! The Summer Reading program is designed to encourage your children to keep reading throughout the summer outside of the school year. Through the Summer Reading Program at your local library, children can participate in awesome and exciting programs while also boosting their reading goals.”

Contact your local library today and find out what programs and performers will be taking place.

Tara Ruppell, Rockaway Township Free Public Library Children’s Librarian, commented that “Children should join the summer reading club at their local library because it will help children to keep the important reading skills that

they have gained throughout the course of the school year and prevent any backslide.

Children should also join because it’s fun! Each library spends tons of time planning exciting, entertaining, and fun programs for the kids to enjoy over the summer, and help keep boredom at bay.”

The Morris Automated Information Network (MAIN) is a consortium of 38 public libraries located in Morris, Somerset and Warren Counties. MAIN’s mission is to lead and encourage collaboration, resource sharing, staff development and innovation by providing high quality, cost effective shared services to member libraries for their communities. MAIN aspires to help member libraries and the communities they serve to readily access a rich spectrum of resources.

Memorial Day Celebrated Big in Netcong

F

By Jane Primerano amilies were unfolding chairs and applying sunscreen to children along the sidewalks and at the war memorial adjacent to the Lake Musconetcong Dam. Memorial Day turns Netcong and the surrounding area into small-town America at its best.

Fire companies from Netcong and Stanhope, the high school bands from Lenape Valley and Hopatcong, scout troops and Little League teams all join the parade.

The crowd at the memorial included present and past elected officials, veterans and their families, parents and children and plenty of dogs on leashes.

Musconetcong Post 278 of the American Legion runs the event, under the direction of Carl Beale, Past Sussex County American Legion Commander.

Joseph Nametko, mayor of Netcong started off the ceremony. He spoke of the 1,150,000 military personnel who gave their lives in wars since the American Revolution.

“Pray for the men and women and their families and friends they left behind,” Nametko entreated the crowd under the trees around the memorial, many of whom were veterans or family members, including the sound engineer for the event, Harry Grant of Flanders, a Vietnam veteran.

Stanhope Council President Patricia Zdichocki also spoke.

“There is no way we can repay this debt to them,” she said, “but we can take the time to say thank you.”

“While Veterans Day honors all vets, Memorial Day carries a more somber tone,” Sussex County Freeholder George Gra-

ham said. He suggested each person who attends the ceremony should bring a friend so the crowd is larger.

He quoted former Congressman Rodney Frelinghuysen, himself a Vietnam veteran, “veterans are a symbol of what makes our nation great and we should never forget.

Keynote speaker was Lt. Mitch Ellicott of the Naval Security Forces a native of the Lake Musconetcong area who now lives in Fredon.

He spoke of the veterans who make it home but then take their own lives.

“When that Sandy Hook father took his life it was all over the press,” he said, “but when was the last time you heard of a veteran committing suicide?”

He noted an average of 22 veterans take their own lives each day.

Ellicott’s cousin took his own life and, more recently, a young man from his unit did the same recently.

“We are trained to look for symptoms but sometimes we just don’t see them,” he said.

While the Rev. Hugh Matlack of the First Presbyterian Church of Stanhope read the list of soldiers from Netcong, Stanhope and Budd Lake who were killed in action, the Lenape Valley Regional High School Marching Band played “Amazing Grace.”

After the American Legion color guard fired a salute and the wreathe was laid in Lake Musconetcong, Jennifer Coulman, a senior at Hopatcong High School played taps on the trumpet.

After the ceremony, the parade continued to the American Legion Post on Ledgewood Road (Route 183).

Parents and children and grandparents line the Netcong sidewalk near the Growing Stage, aka the Palace Theater.

The Lenape Valley Regional High School Marching Band plays “Amazing Grace” during the reading of the names.

WCCC Pair Among 38 Recognized by NJ Council of County Colleges

T

wo Warren County Community College students were among 38 from throughout New Jersey who were honored at a special recognition event on May 8 in Trenton.

The N.J. Council of County Colleges (NJCCC) honored these talented, innovative and dedicated community college students and their families at its 25th annual New Jersey Community College Scholars Celebration at the New Jersey State Museum.

The 2019 New Jersey AllState Academic Team members from WCCC are Brenda Haycock of Columbia and Arleen Molina of Hackettstown. Haycock will be attending Rutgers and Molina East Stroudsburg University starting

in fall 2019.

“Two outstanding students,” said WCCC President Dr. Will Austin. “Clearly they are among the elite in the state. We are very proud of them.”

“Each year we invite New Jersey’s top community college students and their families to celebrate their outstanding academic achievements and exceptional service to their communities as members of the Phi Theta Kappa Honor Society at their local community colleges,” added NJCCC Chair (and WCCC Trustee Chair) Dr. Phil Linfante.

“Our 19 community colleges provide life changing opportunities to over 325,000 students each year, and these 38 students are accom-

plished academic scholars and community leaders on our campuses,” noted NJCCC President Aaron Fichtner, Ph.D. Phi Theta Kappa has recognized and encouraged scholarships among community college students for 101 years while promoting the academic integrity of the community

college associate degree. Students with grade point averages of 3.5 or higher are invited to join Phi Theta Kappa.

The New Jersey Council of County Colleges joins the leadership of trustees and presidents to serve a resource that strengthens and supports the state’s 19 community colleges.

Morris County 4-H Fair: A Great Secret Nobody Knows About

T

By Dawn M Chiossi he 4-H Organization, according to Manager and 4-H Program Associate, Kathy Murarik, 4-H is “a great secret nobody knows about.”

But when the annual Morris County 4-H Fair rolls around, with approximately anywhere from 15 to 20 thousand people attending, that secret is definitely out of the bag.

Taking place on July 18 through 21st at Chubb Park in Chester, the Morris County 4-H Fair will be held for 4 days. There’s something wonderfully homespun and old fashioned about a 4-H Fair, and it’s not just for those in rural communities any more.

The fair will be sponsored by the Morris County 4-H Association in support of the 4-H Youth Development Program of Rutgers Cooperative Extension.

As well as providing summer fun, this summer staple also showcases the vast

achievements of the Morris County 4-H members ranging in age from those in kindergarten all the way up to one year after high school.

Dedicated to “making the best better,”

Climbing Beyond Cancer:

Randolph Climbing Center Hosts Fundraiser No. 17 Vol. 1 for Epic Experience

O

n the evening of Saturday December 15, Randolph Climbing Center (RCC) hosted an event Climbing Beyond Cancer to fundraise for the organization Epic Experience.

Epic Experience provides free weeklong adventure ex-

periences to adults who have been diagnosed with canacer. “Most organizations that existed at the time when Epic Experience was founded focused on kids or young adults. Epic Experience is the only one who does adults and all stages of Cancer, both

those currently in treatment and survivors,” says Sabine Schwab, who organized the event.

Schwab, 36, of Roxbury, was diagnosed with brain cancer in 2014 at age 32, shortly after giving birth to her daughter. Her tumor was about the size of a golf

Livingston and Hackettstown College Students Shine at NJ Mathematics Competition

A

By Kimberly Redmond college student from Livingston earned the top prize at the 16th annual New Jersey Undergraduate Mathematics Competition (NJUMC) at Raritan Valley Community College.

Sofia Shvaiko, a freshman at the County College of Morris (CCM), won the highest-ranking individual score overall and the highest-ranking female score at the April 13 contest in Branchburg.

She was among 84 participants from two- and four-year colleges across New Jersey that competed individually and as teams.

Shvaiko and her teammate Gabriel Lukijaniuk also won first place for highest-ranking team from a two-year school.

The team’s faculty advisor, Associate Professor Kelly Fitzpatrick, said the wins were “truly impressive results” and thanked the mathematics department for its support of the students competing at NJUMC. Shvaiko, an international student from Kharkiv, Ukraine who is currently living in Livingston, has competed in several math competitions in Eastern Europe, according to the County College of Morris.

“My family was proud of me that I proved my knowledge outside of my country and had the skills to compete,” said the

computer science major.

After she graduates from the County College of Morris, Shvaiko plans to pursue a bachelor’s degree at Rutgers University and become a software developer, according to the County College of Morris.

Shvaiko’s teammate, Lukijaniuk, a Hackettstown resident and County College of Morris freshman, came in third place in the individual competition.

“Winning at the competition was strange,” Lukijaniuk said. “I wasn’t sure how I compared to other people who majored in math and had the same passion and studying habits as me. So I was actually quite surprised when I had found that I placed that high.”

Like Shvaiko, Lukijaniuk aims to complete his bachelor’s degree at Rutgers University. His ideal job, he said, would be a combination of math professor and math researcher.

The competition was held as part of the Garden State Undergraduate Mathematics Conference, which is a one-day event held in April each year.

After the mathematics competition in the morning, there is a student research poster session and student presentations.

This year, for the first time ever, several companies were at the conference to meet with students to give more infor-

Morris County 4-H Fair...

continued from page 46 Through the program, kids learn about projects that they are interested in, work with mentors, and participate in community service projects.

And that’s what makes a 4-H Fair different and special compared to other standard fairs. It’s a chance to share in and celebrate the kids and their accomplishments. People can see with their own eyes their hard work and devotion that goes into their projects: From goat races, to goat agility courses, to dog shows (including seeing eye dogs), to chickens, rabbits, small animals and more.

Animals are only part of it however, there’s also sports oriented showcases, science, crafts and exhibitions, clothing and textiles, needlework, cooking, baking, vegetables and flowers, everything that can even extend to poetry, pictures, creative writing, and art work. Murarik even discloses that there will be a wood carver, and a beekeeping demonstration where they can sell honey.

“It’s whatever you can think of,” she enthuses. “With 4-H, there’s no limit.”

After showing their accomplishments, there will be judging (for the older members) and they will win prizes.

4-H is a definite learn by doing ap-

proach, and as such it boosts and empowers its members to become competent and caring adults, preparing them for the world. Through the works of 4-H, it gives them the knowledge, attitudes, skills and tools they need to make a contribution to community and the world at large.

Warm and enthusiastic regarding the organization, Murarik, has been with the Morris County 4-H Fair since it began at Chubb Park in 1984.

She relates that before then, the fair was just more like an expo, something that took place inside at the Rockaway Townsquare Mall. But once people discontinued on page 50

Willow Grove School Kiwanis Kids Club Wins State Americanism Award

he Kiwanis Kids Club of the Willow Grove Elementary School of Hackettstown, known for their Patriotism and support of our Veterans and those serving in the Armed Services, recently received some awesome news.

The club, comprised of third and fourth grade students, was informed that they had won the State of New Jersey Spirit of Americanism Award. This award is given each year to an individual, group, club, school, or organization that exemplifies a dedication to support, appreciate, acknowledge, and assist the causes that are dedicated to the Veterans of our Armed Services.

To qualify for this high achievement award, the applicant must follow an application process, and provide documentation of their efforts on behalf of Veterans.

The applicant must then be chosen as the winning entry at the local level and at the county level. Then all county finalists are judged, and a state winner is chosen. The Kiwanis Kids Club prepared a scrapbook/ photo album filled with pictures of each project that the club had undertaken during the school year, as well as photos and copies of letters received from recipients, acknowledging each project. A special memorial dedication in memory of Donald M. Hendershot, the past Commander of the American Legion Blue Ridge Post # 164 of Hackettstown, was highlighted in the club’s entry, as Mr. Hendershot was a highly respected and active member of the American Legion. He participated in many Veterans Day Tribute Programs held each year at the Willow Grove School, which is a yearly event hosted by the Kiwanis Kids Club. Mr. Hendershot is missed by all in Hackettstown, but his legacy lives on.

Some of the projects that the Kiwanis Kids Club participated in throughout the year, to support Veterans and our Troops, were Operation Shoebox N.J., a collection of toiletries and food items sent to our troops serving overseas. Student club officer interviews, on WRNJ radio, during which the students requested donations from the community, towards the collection of items for “Operation Shoebox N.J.” Veterans Day Tribute Program, held at Willow Grove School, honoring family members of students and staff, who are Veterans. Thank You Veterans Wall of

Honor school showcase, exhibited for the month of November, in the front lobby of the school. The showcase highlighted photos sent in by students and staff, of family members who served in the Armed Forces.

There were even several Purple Heart recipients who had their photos displayed.

Attendance at the Hackettstown Wreaths Across America event in December, where wreaths were placed on graves of Veterans buried in the local cemetery. Patriotic Christmas Tree in the Willow Grove School front lobby. Christmas cards sent to the Veterans at the N.J. Veterans Home in Paramus. Valentine’s Day Thank You banner sent to the troops serving overseas in Kuwait. It was hung in the Welcome Center in Kuwait... and a photo of the banner with the troops, was sent to the Kiwanis Kids Club. Valentine’s Day cards and coloring pages sent to the Veterans at the N.J. Veterans Home in Paramus. Birthday Cards and letters were sent to a Vietnam Veteran in Maryland, through the Medal of Honor Mail Call Program, and cards and letters were sent to an Army Corpsman serving in Afghanistan.

The Kiwanis Kids Club of the Willow Grove School will be marching in the Memorial Day Parade in Hackettstown. They carry banners thanking our Veterans and our troops and honoring those who were POW/MIA. They also proudly wave many, many American Flags. It is a sight to see, enthusiastic elementary school children showing their Patriotism.

The Kiwanis Kids Club of the Willow Grove School in Hackettstown is a club dedicated to serving, honoring, and showing gratitude to our nation’s heroes, our Veterans and all members of the Armed Services. For the last 3 years, the club has been awarded the highest honor by the Kiwanis International Committee. Out of over 2,000 Kiwanis Kids Clubs worldwide, only a select few have been chosen to receive the coveted Club of Distinction designation. Last year, only 31 clubs worldwide were given this honor and for the 3rd year in a row, the Willow Grove School’s Chapter of the club was awarded this highest honor.

For the 3rd year in a row, the Willow Grove Kiwanis Kids Club was the only club in New Jersey to achieve this recognition. They are an active club that promotes volunteerism for causes that make a difference.

The staff advisors for the Kiwanis Kids Club, Robin Gibbon R.N., M.S., and Debbie Beck, will receive the Americanism Award on behalf of the club, on June 13th at the 101st State Convention of the American Legion in Wildwood.

The staff advisors of the club wish to thank the Kiwanis Club of Hackettstown for their continued support with all the school based projects and the American Legion Blue Ridge Post # 164 of Hackettstown, for their nomination of the school’s Kiwanis Kids Club for this State of New Jersey Spirit of Americanism award.

Long Valley Pub and Brewery a Perfect Stop for Every Kind of Diner

T

By Steve Sears here’s much to be said for dining amid history. If that history is nestled in gorgeous countryside, all the better, yes?

Long Valley Pub and Brewery meets all of the above descriptors. Located at the foot of Schooley’s Mountain, the pub calls home a restored 248-year-old barn.

Call it romantic, coin it fun, consider it good eating and drinking – especially pairing an entree with a Long Valley Pub and Brewery’s own on-site crafted beer.

Steve and Andrea Bussel have owned Long Valley Pub and Brewery since 2010.

“We have a bunch of rotating and exciting new beers,” says Andrea Bussel.

“There’s nothing like stepping into history – a building from the 1700s. That’s what’s so cool, too; we have one of the oldest buildings you’re going to find in the state.”

Juan Mujica is Executive Chef, and General Manager along with Tony Neto, a great find from The Cheesecake Factory. Bussel says they are “Amazing.

They do so much for us.” Mujica started with the establishment as a dishwasher, sharpened his cooking skills at other eateries, and returned “home” to helm the kitchen. His signature dishes, and that of Long Valley Pub and Brewery, are German, harkening back to Long Valley’s early days, when it was called German Valley up until after World War II. “There’s a lot of German history in the valley,” says Bussel, “so we have a lot of Schnitzel & Spaetzle, which is very popular, and a dish called ‘The Best of the Worst’ (Schaller & Webber’s finest knockwurst, bratwurst, weisswurst, sauerkraut, and German potato salad).” The restaurant also offers a variety of other entrée favorites, including gluten-free pastas, country mac ‘n cheese, and selections of burgers and other sandwiches. The menu is not overwhelming in choice but fine in varied quality, and that means shorter

selection time and more opportunity to enjoy the cuisine and atmosphere when the plate meets your table.

Long Valley Pub and Brewery, which has seating for 200 patrons, and that’s combined with interior and patio dining with an outdoor bar, is advantageously located. Routes 46, 80 and 206 are a skip away. “The area in itself is a big draw,” says Bussel, referring to especially to local farms and apple and pumpkin picking activity. “There’s also a creamery across the street that makes its own cheese, there’s local horseback riding, there’s a myriad of trails to walk, so the area itself is set up for a nice day in the country.”

A bit of history. A large stone barn was built in 1771 by a farmer named Timmer to house his cows and hay. It remained a dairy farm until the 1940’s when many dairy farmers sold their cows and bought milk in neighboring New York and Pennsylvania. Jack Borgenicht purchased the barn and six acres in 1965 and began transforming the barn into a brew pub in January 1995, while at the same time attempting loyalty to the barn’s originality.

Hand-hewn timbers were preserved, and original as well are all the window open-

ings. The main entrance and brewery were added onto the original structure during the 1995 renovations.

Long Valley Pub and Brewery in Long Valley is located at Restaurant Village, 1 Fairmount Road in Long Valley. Call (908) 876-1122 for more information or visit www.restaurantvillageatlongvalley.com/ long-valley-pub-and-brewery.

Morris County 4-H Fair...

continued from page 47 covered all of the fun they could have at this event, it was ultimately moved to its outdoor location of Chester’s Chubb Park-- expanding from two days to its current four.

“Our fair is still very small compared to other 4-H Fairs out there, with approximately 10 tents so far,” Murarik remarks. “It’s big, but it’s not humongous. It is filled with all sorts of unique things and amusements. It’s very workable to see everything easily,” she tells.

In addition to the project animal shows, the fair will have rides and amusements, fun and games, live music, performances and demonstrations, pony rides, hay rides, petting zoos, a cake decorating contest, watermelon eating contest, dress-a-pet contest, and a craft sale table.

Of course, like any summer fair, there will be lots of food to tempt the appetite including foods like barbecue, a food sale table, and much more.

Attendees won’t want to miss the Friday evening fireworks show (with a rain date of Saturday) or the Saturday hot air balloon rides and tricky tray.

There is no fee for the fair, but there is a $5.00 donation for parking and $10.00 donation for fireworks.

Whether people attend just one day, or every day, there will be much to see and enjoy, and Murarik is elated.

Keeping her fingers crossed for good weather, not just for the fair, but for the hot air balloon ride, it has a special place in her heart. Having taken one in the past, she can barely contain her anticipation to take one again this year.

She describes the balloon as tethered and rising to about 50 to 75 feet. “It’s intense, loud and hot and you are right there. It’s such a unique experience. I love it,” she enthuses.

And very quickly Murarik’s mind circles back to the members of 4-H. When she describes how their opening ceremonies showcase the clubs, participants, banners and flags, it’s almost like a parade where they introduce everyone, and remarks are made. Best of all, it gets everyone excited for the festivities yet to come.

The Morris County 4-H Fair is not just a good time, it is a culmination of everything that the members have learned from the club, Murarik explains. “They run it all. This is all about having the members take on leadership roles (such as running a business and public speaking) and having them be responsible. 4-H teaches them so much: Confidence in leadership and citizenship, empowering them.

I’ve seen 4-H turn kids from a shy youngster into amazing leaders.”

Navigating Hope Throughout Morris County

M

By Kimberly Redmond orris County recently launched its new “Navigating Hope” mobile services vehicle, which will bring assistance-on-wheels to residents in need across the county’s 39 communities.

The new vehicle, which was unveiled on May 6 in Morristown, will offer on-site benefits eligibility screenings and application assistance, as well as link people to a number of other community services.

It’ll make regular stops at locations such as supermarkets, libraries, religious institutions, shopping centers, train stations and malls, according to the county.

“Navigating Hope is about social justice, dignity and respect. It will provide access to resources that our neighbors may not know exists, and will offer face-to-face support and engagement. It is also about community coming together to serve community,’’ said Family Promise Executive Director Joann Bjornson.

People will be able to apply for food stamps, Medicaid, general assistance, temporary assistance for needy families, utility assistance and housing assistance, or get referrals for EITC (tax credits), WIC (nutritional assistance), aging services, domestic violence services, veterans services, health and wellness services, legal services, mental health and transportation.

The unit, a Ford E350 Super Duty Cutaway, includes two separate interview areas where applicants can apply directly for benefits. The work stations include a computer and a multipurpose business machine that connects to the county’s Office of Temporary Assistance.

“Navigating Hope” is a partnership between non-profit organization Family Promise of Morris County and the Morris County Department of Human Services and is the county’s second mobile outreach initiative.

In April 2017, the county put its “Hope One” van on the road, which provides mental health and addiction services across Morris County.

Twice a week, the van, which is staffed by a Morris County Sheriff’s Office, li-

censed clinician and certified peer recovery specialist, brings services to people in need.

The team’s goal is to prevent drug overdoses and deaths by reaching out to those who need help, rather than waiting for them to show up in a hospital emergency room.

“Navigating Hope, along with Hope One, embraces the county’s Stigma-Free initiative, fostering assistance and treatment for county residents in need,’’ added Freeholder Kathy DiFillippo, liaison to the county’s Human Services agencies.

Over the last two years, “Hope One” has made 6,258 contacts with county residents in 252 stops, provided Narcan training to more than 1,700 residents, referred nearly 100 residents to mental health treatment or resources and sent 104 people to recovery or rehabilitation facilities, according to information pro-

vided by the county.

At times, Morris County Sheriff James Gannon said, “Navigating Hope” will work in tandem with “Hope One.” “Together, the innovative Hope One and Navigating Hope mobile outreach programs will help people overcome substance use dependencies and issues that attach to addiction such as homelessness, lack of jobs and adequate nutrition,” “said Gannon.

“Hope One has had a major impact on dealing with addiction and mental health issues in Morris County,’’ said Deputy Freeholder Director Heather Darling.

“Now, the county will expand on that great work with Navigating Hope and reach out even further.’’

Stay Safe on the Road this Summer

W

5 Warm Weather Tire Safety Tips

hen it comes to staying safe on the roads – whether you’re traveling cross-country or just across town – routinely checking the condition of your tires can be imperative. While variables like road and weather conditions can also impact safety, it’s important to remember your tires are the only thing between your vehicle and the road.

During the summer months, high heat and hot roadways combined with normal rolling, turning and braking contribute to potential safety hazards, particularly on worn or improperly inflated tires.

Before you hit the road this summer, consider these tips from the experts at your neighborhood Discount Tire store to help keep you safe.

Check your tread.

Tread depth refers to the amount of sufficient tread on a tire, which impacts handling, traction and your vehicle’s safe stopping distance. As tires wear and tread depth is reduced,

their ability to perform in adverse conditions such as rain can be compromised. While most new cars start with 11/32 inch tread, you can use the penny test to check your tread depth at home by sticking a penny upside-down in a tread groove.

If Lincoln’s entire head is visible, your tread is worn beyond what tire experts recommend as safe – less than 4/32 inch – and it’s time to replace your tires.

Accurately measure pressure.

Low tire pressure can lead to poor handling and gas mileage, excessive wear and the possibility of tire failure. Remember to check your tire pressure at least once a month, especially before any long-distance trips, as the impacts of bumps and turns from everyday use can lead to normal air loss. For the most accurate reading, check your tires when the car is cool as driving can heat up the tires and lead to an inaccurate reading. You can find the manufacturer’s recommended

tire pressure on a sticker in your car’s door jamb or in your owner’s manual. If you need assistance, look for a store like Discount Tire, which offers complimentary air checks and tire safety inspections.

Rotate often.

Tires wear differently depending on their location on the vehicle. Routinely rotating your tires spreads wear evenly, which helps maximize their handling, traction and stopping capabilities. To increase longevity and keep your ride as smooth as possible, rotate your tires every 6,000 miles or earlier if irregular or uneven wear develops.

Inspect your trunk.

Some newer vehicles now include tire inflation kits complete with puncture-coating sealants and air compressors, or run-flat tires that allow for continued driving with no air pressure for a short period of time rather than a traditional spare tire. Check your trunk to see what your vehicle contains and make sure you have a roadside

assistance plan in case of emergency.

Avoid overloading.

Overloading your vehicle can have a similar impact on your tires as driving on underinflated tires. The combination of warm roads and overloading, which is common during summer travel season, can lead to your tires potentially overheating and failing. Before loading your car, check the manufacturer’s loading recommendation,

which can be found in the owner’s manual or on the door jamb sticker.

Spruce Up for Summer

M

ake your backyard the perfect outdoor space To make the transition to summer season effortless, there may be some backyard upgrades and prep to be done to ensure your outdoor space is in tip-top shape. From your pool and patio to the grill, these tips can help get your backyard summer-ready.

Overhaul the Patio Patios and decks are often considered the hub of the backyard, so consider sprucing yours up by power-washing the stone to remove any winter buildup or use stain for a complete refresh.

Adding a pergola or umbrellas can help protect you from the elements and, for added comfort, consider installing an outdoor ceiling fan for humid days and a fire pit or patio heater for cooler nights.

Upgrade Outdoor Furniture To ensure your backyard furniture lasts, invest in materials such as teak wood, redwood, cedar or stainless steel, which are typically durable and low-maintenance. If you want to add a personal touch, consider colorful cushions, throw pillows or an area rug made of weatherproof fabric.

Smarten Up Your Pool and Backyard With smart homes on the rise, today’s tech-savvy homeowners are not only looking to automate appliances and gadgets inside the home, but now want smart controls in their outdoor spaces, as well. For example, Hayward’s OmniHub smart pool control offers pool owners the convenience and customization of complete pool, spa and backyard lighting automation from smart devices.

Prep Your Grill Get ahead of barbecue season by building in ample time to prep your grill. Scrub or season your grill grates to avoid rust, stock up on charcoal and wood chips, check gas grills for leaks and fill up your propane tank. For safety, make sure your grill is at least 10 feet away from your home, outdoor structures and any trees or bushes.

Convert Your Pool to Salt Water For the ultimate in pool luxury, consider switching your traditional chlorine pool to salt water. It’s a surprisingly simple project that can transform your pool experience. Salt pools offer owners soft, clean and clear water that won’t irritate eyes, dry out skin and hair, give off harsh odors or cause bathing suits to fade. Designed to be a convenient alternative to conventional chlorine, Hayward’s AquaRite system gently dissolves salt into the perfect amount of chlorine to sanitize your pool without harsh chemicals while creating velvety-smooth water.

Keep the Bugs at Bay Mosquitos and other bugs can put a damper on outdoor entertaining, so be sure to stock up on repellents to ensure a bugfree backyard. Keep citronella or eucalyptus candles and torches on hand to maintain a pest-free space.

Whether you’re planning a family barbecue or pool party, or just want a space that offers the ultimate in tranquility, visit hayward.com for more tips to help jumpstart your home improvement project.

The Choice for Staying Put or Moving On

any home improvement television series showcase people deciding whether to improve upon their current homes to make them into the houses of their dreams or to put “for sale” signs in their lawns and move on to something new.

The question of whether to move or stay put depends on various factors. Such factors may include emotional attachment to a home, the current economic climate and the cost of real estate. Current data points to a greater propensity for people to invest and improve upon their current properties rather than trading up for something new.

According to information collected by John Burns Real Estate Consulting, the percentage of homeowners moving up to their next home is the lowest in 25 years.

Many are opting to make starter homes

permanent by expanding them and repairing homes for the long haul.

The National Association of Realtors said that, between 1987 and 2008, home buyers stayed in their homes an average of six years before selling. Since 2010, however, NAR says the average expected length of time people will stay in their homes before selling is now 15 years.

Part of what’s fueling this permanency is that many home buyers were able to acquire rock-bottom mortgage interest rates shortly after the 2008 recession. As a result, they’re not inclined to walk away from those rates, even if doing so means getting more house. Also, a low inventory of available houses has stymied repeat buying for many people.

Those factors and others have led many homeowners to invest in renovations instead. The experts at Bankrate say

realistic budgeting and comparing renovation project costs against mortgages and interests rates can further help individuals decide whether to remain in their current homes or move out. Very often a smarter layout and more efficient floor plan can make meaningful differences in spaces. Renovations and redesigns can make sense and often are less expensive and disruptive than moving.
