Post Thanksgiving 5K To Benefit Children With Cancer

by Elsie Walker ackettstown resident Margaret Walling was 11 years old when it was discovered that she had a brain tumor. The community rallied to help her and her family. At one point, Margaret told her mother, Donna, that she wanted to pay it forward. When she was better, she wanted to take the fundraising organization set

up for her and have it help families, just like hers, who had children with cancer. Unfortunately, Margaret passed away in 2013 at age 12, but her desire to help others continues through “Smiles For Margaret.” On Nov. 26, the Saturday after Thanksgiving, people can not only help to keep Margaret’s dream of helping others going, but also work off some of those pounds gained from stuffing themselves at Thanksgiving. Aptly called The Huff and Puff After You Stuff, the event is a 5K memorial race open to individuals, families and teams. Registration is at 8:15 a.m. in the American Legion building in Hackettstown, with the race starting at 10 a.m. To sign-up or to donate, visit the Smiles For Margaret website: https://runsignup.com/Race/NJ/Hackettstown/MargaretWalling “It is a great comfort to be able to help other families,” said Donna Walling, president of Smiles for Margaret. She explains that she is supported by “an incredible board who make my ideas happen.” The Huff and Puff After You Stuff was actually the last fundraiser done for Margaret before she died. After that, it was decided to keep the annual event going to

support Margaret’s dream of helping other families who have children fighting cancer. These families are helped monetarily and so far Smiles for Margaret has assisted a dozen such families. “The 5K is the largest fundraiser we do,” said Walling . Last year, we had over 300 participants and raised $13,000.” This year, she said that they hope to have at least 350 people participate. The race is a Track and Field Association sanctioned race and is run on a marked course at River Front Park. John Patrick Montgomery and John Montgomery, both of Hackettstown, finished first and second last year. Details on the course and other race details can be found on the Smiles for Margaret Facebook page: https:// continued on page 2

Fulton Bank Of NJ Provides Third Installment For Student Scholarships

ulton Bank of New Jersey has recently provided Centenary University with a gift of $20,000, which represents the third installment of a fiveyear scholarship commitment as part of an initiative to give back to the community. “I would like to thank Fulton Bank of New Jersey for their generosity,” says Dr. David P. Haney, Centenary University president. “It is opportunities such as this that make a huge impact on our students.”

Over the years, Fulton Bank of NJ has been one of Centenary’s most dedicated advocates. The longstanding relationship has spanned many years. In fact, Fulton Bank of NJ made a sizable contribution to the David and Carol Lackland Center, which was built in 2010. Fulton Bank of NJ’s executives have also served on the Board of Trustees at Centenary University. This year, the Fulton Bank of NJ Scholarship has been awarded to seven individu-

While the 5k is the biggest fundraiser for the organization, it is supported during the year in other ways. Walling shared that the organization has been supported during the year by the girl’s field hockey team on which Margaret played. They allowed Smiles For Margaret to run a snack stand during their tournament this year and keep the proceeds as a donation. Walling said they had a great time doing it. In ad-

initiative to promote the building of vibrant communities through programs, products, and services, designed to foster affordable housing, drive economic development, and promote education and financial literacy in the neighborhoods served by its banking subsidiaries.”

dition, Centenary students from the Sports Management class also planned and held a Family Fun Day at Donaldson’s Farm. As the Huff and Puff After You Stuff comes closer, Walling was asked what she might say to those considering participating in it. “It’s a fun morning and a great tradition to have with your friends and family, to remember my Margaret and also to raise money for the other families that are out there,” she said. “The number one killer of children is brain tumors. I cannot find the cure, but I know that I can give money to these families with children fighting cancers and make their every day a bit easier.”

Teens Provide Meals And Warm Essentials To Those In Need Through Renewal Congregation

By Cheryl Conway eens throughout the area are getting in on the action by preparing meals for the homeless, donating to food drives for the local pantry and collecting outer gear to warm those living on the streets or in shelters. The group called Social Teen Action Fellows just formed this fall through the Or Ha Lev Jewish Renewal Congregation in Roxbury. About six teens, both pre and post bar and bat mitzva students, participate in this community action work for social justice. The teens have been joining about 20 individuals affiliated with this congregation who gather at members’ homes to prepare meals and collect items to help those in need once a month for the past three years.

On Sun., Nov. 6, the group delivered gloves, hats and scarves to St. Lucy’s Shelter in Jersey City. Some members crocheted “gorgeous hats,” and scarves were made from cut winter flannel materials and fleece, describes Rabbi Debra Smith of Parsippany, religious leader at Or Ha Lev Jewish Renewal Congregation. “Members cut them and prepare them,” she says. Providing meals also is a priority. Its next gathering is set for Sun., Dec. 4, to prepare more meals. “Each first Sunday every month we make and deliver 175 meals to St. Lucy’s Shelter in Jersey City,” says Smith who is known as “Reb Deb.” All vegetarian meals, including sandwiches, salads and desserts are prepared and delivered by members.

Smith got connected with the shelter through Zamir Hassan, national organizer of the Faiths Against Hunger, when she heard him speak years back. “We used to seek out homeless people in Jersey City,” says her husband, Neil Smith, a retired mohel who helps lead the services through his music. “Most would reside at the shelter. We made the connection that the same people are going to the shelter. It’s much more efficient.” The congregation also constantly collects and provides food to the Roxbury Food Pantry. Volunteers are currently collecting items for Thanksgiving meals such as cranberry sauce, stuffing and yams, says Smith. “Our mission in addition to prayer is to serve the community,” says Smith.

“You serve without bias. When our people bring food to the shelter, they don’t just drop it off, they go in.” Smith, a long-time resident of Long Valley, began Or Ha Lev Jewish Renewal Congregation in 2013. She selected Succasunna as the congregation’s gathering place because of its central location to multiple towns seeking new denomination in Judaism, she says. The closest congregations of this denomination are in Monmouth and Philadelphia. Or Ha Lev, which means “light of the heart,” is a new denomination in Judaism sought by individuals that “are just not satisfied with traditional forms that are out there,” explains Smith. Its ideals come out of Hasidic Judaism, she explains, but “you wouldn’t continued on page 10

Aiden Rosenﬁeld and Evan and Josh Zitomer come to prepare food each month and deliver the food to St. Lucy’s shelter.

Churches Join Together To Bring The Nativity Story To Life

by Elsie Walker he story takes place at a time when people weren’t sure if they could trust anything. The valued counsel that seemed to once guide them was gone. For a long time, they held on to what they’d always believed; but as time passed, they wondered. When things seemed out of their control, could they trust that all would be well? Though it might seem like modern day, the scene is the little town of Bethlehem and the story is the birth of the baby Jesus. That story will be brought to life through the talents of six area churches sharing songs, skits, puppetry, bell music and poetry. The 14th annual Christmas Arts program is set to be held on Dec. 4, at 5 p.m. at the Port Morris United Methodist Church in Landing. A free will offering will be taken. The theme for this year’s program is “In God We Put Our Trust.” The story will share how Jesus’ mother, father, and the rest of those involved put their trust in God at a time when some wondered where’s God hand was in life. During the annual event’s 14 years, various churches have shared their talents in telling the birth of Jesus. It is an intergenerational presentation with various age groups taking on roles. For some, it has become an annual tradition. One of the mainstays is the husband and wife team of John and Cathy Bingham, representing The Flanders United Methodist Church.

This year the Binghams will be doing “O Holy Night” and “What Child Is This.” In addition, the Flanders church’s choir will also be on hand, to sing “Go Tell it On the Mountain.” Echoing Binghams’s comments about the program was Pam Laura, director of the children’s choir at St. James Episcopal Church in Hackettstown. Another longtime participating group, Laura said, “We enjoy participating in the program because of its unique use of various forms of performance and wide age range of the performers to highlight the story of the nativity. It enriches the story while providing attendees and participants continued on next page

Kid’s Junction “Cathy and I have been doing this for a while now and it is one of the highlights of our holiday season,” said John Bingham. “We enjoy looking for new or special music and then sharing it with others. And it’s important to keep the story of Christ’s birth alive for our children to learn, understand and appreciate God’s love. We like how the art program brings together people with different ideas and talents to share in the telling of this important story.”

man Catholic Church in Netcong, Valley View Chapel in Long Valley, St. Margaret of Scotland Church in Morristown, and the host church. Bell music will be provided by the Trinity Ringers of Trinity United Methodist Church in Hackettstown under the direction of Jill Fedon. The bell choir is quite accomplished and has played at some impressive venues. “The Trinity Ringers performed with the Cross Border Orchestra of Ireland at Carnegie Hall in 2015; [they have] performed at Disney World through the Disney Performing Arts Program,” said Fedon. “As part of that trip, they also performed and volunteered at Give Kids the World, nonprofit “storybook” resort in Central Florida where children with life-threatening illnesses and their families are treated to week-long, cost-free vacations.” Puppetry and skits done by members of the host church round out the program.

“At Port Morris United Methodist Church, December is the most special time of the year,” said Pastor Nick Petrov. “It is a busy and hectic time of preparation for the holidays, but it is also a time for our ecumenical Christmas Arts program. “Through the program, we declare that we are touched personally by God’s love. The birth of Jesus is a profound and mysterious sign of God’s love for us. Each year, at the annual Christmas Arts program, the choir of Port Morris United Methodist Church, the puppet ministry, as well as the performers and soloists from the other churches make the joyful announcement that we can celebrate God’s love in unity despite the fact that we belong to different churches, denominations, confessions and faiths. This year, again, we will tell the Nativity story of Jesus’ love for all the earth. It is a privilege for Port Morris United Methodist Church to host such a joyful event.”

Warm The Chill With Best Chili In The Area

By Cheryl Conway ith the chill in the air, everyone seems to crave that comfy food to warm their insides like hot chocolate, tasty soups and spicy chili. As a specialty throughout the season, Fresco Mexican in Chester will be serving its award winning chili. Co-owner Marco Rojas along with his Head Chef Noe Hor Veliz and staff of Fresco Mexican recently won first place in Chester’s third Annual Harvest Celebration for his Smoked Pork Black Bean Tomatillo Chili. Co-sponsored by Historic Chester Business Association (HCBA) and French’s Food Company, Fresco Mexican has competed for three years in the food fest, winning two years in a row for its chili. This year’s contest was held on Perry St., Sat., Oct. 15, from noon to 3 p.m., with restaurants competing for best soup, chili and dessert. The catch to this year’s contest was the participants had to use ingredients from French’s Food Company. “It worked for us,” says Fresco Mexican Co-Owner Carlos Cervantes. “This year we had to use their products. That’s what brought us to the win. He won.” Out of ten contestants for the chili cook off from area restaurants such as in Morristown, Hackettstown and Madison, Rojas and Cervantes were thrilled to be selected as first place chili contest winners selected by judges’ choice blind taste test, says Cervantes. The judges were

from CCM Culinary Arts Department, “Edible Jersey” Magazine and French’s Food Company. Rojas was “over the top,” when he found out he won, says Cervantes. “He was ecstatic. We went up against some really good restaurants.” Cervantes would not reveal Rojas’ secret recipe but says “it’s very fresh; nothing is canned.” The pork is roasted in banana leaves, resulting in its smoky pork, chili flavor. “We use roast pork, black beans, smoked Mexican Chiles,” describes Rojas on the ilovechester.com food fest site. “We had to come up with a recipe, original recipe,” continued on page 16

onors give to charity throughout the year, but the charity watchdog group Charity Navigator reports that around 40 percent of donors make their annual contributions between Thanksgiving and New Year’s Day. No matter when one gives, the decision to support a charity should never be made lightly. Some people choose to donate to charities that focus on causes that resonate with them. Emotional feelings can drive donation decisions, but it’s important to do some research into the charitable organization to determine how efficiently the charity operates

Best Chili In The Area...

continued from page 14 he says. “We do our own roast pork with black beans and tomatillos that makes it so unique, and smoked chili which gives all the flavor to our final dish.” Rojas describes one of the best things from his cooking. “It is a big joy watching our customers taking the first bite and seeing the big smile on their face.” Known for its authentic Mexican cuisine, Fresco Mexican typically does not feature chili on its menu. But since Rojas’ creation was such a hit, the owners decided to keep it on the menu as a “seasonal special” through the fall and maybe let it linger into the winter. Customers can try the chili for lunch or dinner with nachos, stuffed burritos or

Is Your Charity Effective?

and how effective the organization ultimately is at fulfilling its mission. Look at how much of your money actually goes toward the cause you are supporting, paying attention to how the organization allocates donations. The majority of donation dollars should go to the cause and not toward organizational overhead. Here are some questions to ask before selecting a charity. • Does the charity address the most serious problems in the most cost-effective ways? • How much money is devoted to overhead versus pro-

gram outreach? • Are the charity’s interventions really working? • Will this charity help the greatest number of people with your donation? • Is the organization honest and transparent? Individuals can make use of resources made available by the Better Business Bureau, Charity Navigator and GiveWell to see if charities meet their criteria.

roasted chili relleno. “Chili is more American” cuisine, says Cervantes. But with Rojas’ incredible background as a former executive chef of the Black Horse Pub in Mendham and Short Hills Club in Short Hills, his chili creation is that good. Rojas, from Guadalajara Mexico, developed his regional style of Mexican cooking in his mother’s kitchen. It was there where he learned how to use the fresh produce, cheese, and meats from the local merchants. He relocated to New Jersey in the late 80’s, working in those various restaurants before joining Cervantes in opening Fresco in Flanders in 2006. The pair relocated to Chester in 2010, opening Fresco Mexican. One year later,

in 2011, they opened a unique gift shop right next doorRandom Acts of Fresco - featuring hand-crafted artisan imports from countries such as Mexico, Peru, Guatemala, Haiti, and India “We have a beautiful trophy,” from the chili contest, says Cervantes, who moved to NJ from Key West in 1988. He had started his career in hotels at the famed Pier House Beach Club and Resort then managed various restaurants throughout the northern NJ area; including 15 years at The Madison Hotel in Morristown as a sales and catering manager. Fresco Mexican is open seven days a week, Sun.-Thu., 10:30 a.m.-9 p.m.; and Fri.-Sat., 10:30 a.m.-10 p.m.

t has only been four years since Rutherfurd Hall began its trip out of obscurity and now has achieved National and State Historical Recognition. As volunteers have worked within the building, there has been a consistent effort to restore the surrounding grounds to prominence. Occupied in 1905 by the Rutherfurd family, as a summer home, the building had heating and lighting since day one. Every human comfort was available. The Allamuchy School Board purchased the building from the Sisters of Devine Charity, along with a newer adjacent structure for use as a school.

Rutherford Hall Seeks Volunteers

There is much to know about this historic structure and tours are available. The building was designed by architects Warren and Wetmore, famous for Grand Central Station, and the grounds by the Olmsted Brothers, famous for landscaping Central Park. From the very beginning of the four years, members of the community have used paint brushes, shovels power saws and grit and determination to renovate the structure, while scheduling many events to raise funds for the renovation of The Grand Lady. As one example, members of the Friends of Rutherfurd Hall, continue their

volunteerism by reviving the flower beds and clearing brush and decaying trees. Nowhere has this been more apparent than fighting back poison ivy and using muscle otherwise unknown. There are more sedate and talented needs for volunteers within the building. During the growing season, local businesses have “adopted” the Hall. To all these patrons, Rutherfurd Hall is extremely

Centenary University Alumni Association Plans Holiday Toy Drive With Local Eatery

his holiday season, two influential forces in Hackettstown are working together to commit to helping the community. Centenary University’s Alumni Association Executive Board is collaborating with Bea McNally’s Restaurant to run a holiday toy fundraiser and party. All donations will benefit the Court Appointed

Special Advocates For Children (CASA) organization serving Somerset, Hunterdon, and Warren Counties. CASA SHaW is an independent, non-profit organization committed to advocating for the best interests of children who are in an out-of-home placement under the jurisdiction of the New Jersey Family Court.

The holiday toy drive and party is set to take place at Bea McNally’s Restaurant in Hackettstown from 6 p.m. to 9 p.m., on Wed., Dec. 7. There will be a free buffet provided and cash bar. In lieu of an admission fee, new unwrapped toys will be accepted. If unable to provide a toy upon arrival, there is a required entry fee of $10. The Alumni Association maintains and supports the ideals and mission of the institution by encouraging alumni participation through service, loyalty, and friendship. Angela Rodriquez Moore, first vice president for the Alumni Association Executive Board, said “The toys and donations collected at this event will go directly to children in Warren County who are in need this holiday season. As graduates of Centenary University, we are very fortunate to have experienced the best of Hackettstown, and now our priority is to empower young learners who will follow in our footsteps.”

According to CASA’s website, nearly 600,000 children pass through the U.S. foster care and family court systems each year. The average child in the child welfare system will spend 20 months in foster care. Deana Cynar, Executive Director for Alumni Engagement at Centenary University is enthusiastic about the Alumni Association’s upcoming event. She urges the members of the Hackettstown community to attend, saying, “The toy drive party is a unique collaboration between the local school and business community and we are really looking forward to being able to contribute to CASA this holiday season. This event is serving a worthwhile cause and creating a positive community atmosphere.” Call 908-852-1400, ext. 2250 or e-mail alumni@centenaryuniversity.edu to R.S.V.P.

Bake A Batch Of Bars For Dessert

ith baking season here, it’s time to turn on the oven, bring out the recipes and enjoy the spicy aromas wafting from the kitchen - a promise of delicious treats ahead. Bars, whether they are cookie, cake or even pie, are the easiest to make and serve, especially when there’s a crowd clamoring for dessert. You might have a pumpkin or sweet potato bar in your repertoire, but Aunt Nellie’s suggests Carrot Crumble Bars for a change of pace. Grab a jar of glazed, sliced carrots, slightly sweet and spicy, and ready to enjoy in numerous ways. They are also a great time-saving step for this delicious dessert. They’re cooked and ready to eat, so just puree the entire jar of carrots and add the remaining four ingredients. That’s it for the tasty filling, which is nestled between a crunchy oat crust and topping. Start to finish in under an hour, most of the ingredients are probably already in your kitchen.

Plus, they can be made a couple of days in advance and refrigerated until serving time. The family can enjoy them for a yummy weeknight dessert or make them company-perfect topped with a dollop of whipped cream or a scoop of vanilla ice cream, sprinkled lightly with pumpkin pie spice. Find this and other recipes from Aunt Nellie’s jarred vegetables at AuntNellies.com. Carrot Crumble Bars Prep time: 15 minutes Cook time: 30 minutes Servings: 16 Crust/Topping: 1 cup all-purpose flour 1 cup old-fashioned oats 1/2 cup packed light brown sugar 6 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted Filling: 1 jar (15.5 ounces) Aunt Nellie’s Glazed Small Sliced Carrots continued on next page

MCTS Students Tackle Washington Twp. OEM Emergency Disaster Trailer Project

hen a major western Morris County town needed a partner for an emergency preparedness project, it reached out to the teachers and students at the Morris County School of Technology who answered the call. Students from auto body shop classes at MCTS fully restored an old trailer, which is now ready for action in Washington Township to haul supplies to emergency shelters in case of natural or man-made disasters. “The Washington Township OEM contacted the school and asked if we could help,’’ said Auto Body Curriculum Instructor Louis Rosso. “They brought the trailer down to our school and the students went to work.’ “The teachers and students at the Morris County School of Technology should be applauded for their efforts,’’ said Freeholder Hank Lyon, the county governing board’s liaison to MCTS. “It’s another example of the great value of our county school for students from across the Morris County who attend it.’’ Washington Township is a sprawling

Fully Insured Free Estimates

municipality of 45 square miles. During major emergencies, such as Superstorm Sandy or Hurricane Irene-type events that struck a few years ago, the township could be required to open multiple shelters to handle the needs of its more than 20,000 residents. After reviewing emergency response procedures, the Washington Township’s Office of Emergency Management found that multiple shelters could be opened quicker and could deal more efficiently with the needs of stranded residents if all critical shelter supplies could be promptly transported from site to site using a tow-behind trailer. Unfortunately, a tight municipal budget precluded an outright purchase of a new trailer, so the issue required a creative approach. The Washington Township Police offered an unused trailer that years ago had been for student DARE program training. Although serviceable, the exterior of the trailer was in bad shape and could not accommodate the required identifying township insignia.

Washington Township approached MCST to see if students in the Denville-based county school’s auto shop could help with the project. For auto body instructor Louis Rosso, it was a fitting challenge for his students. The morning and evening auto body classes, including about 20 students, at

MCST worked on the dilapidated trailer, sanding it, stripping old paint, getting off some heavy rust to bring it down to bare metal. Then then reversed the formula, added a two-part epoxy to the bare metal, preparing the surface and then coating it with a two-part epoxy paint to make it continued on next page

Disaster Trailer Project... continued from previous page weather resistant and durable. “It was a classic ‘win-win’ situation,’’ said Rosso. “Our students would get a technical challenge that could further their training and a community in need would get a workable solution to its problem.” The project was a complete success, garnering a very positive reaction from those who had seen the condition of the original trailer. Washington Township thanked MCTS

and its students and instructors with a Resolution of Appreciation. Township emergency responders Bruce Clark and Georges Chalemin called it a great example of partnership. “Effective emergency response is all about working together, and you couldn’t ask for a better partner than the Morris County School of Technology,” said Clark.

Did You Know?

hristmas songs provide the soundtrack for holiday magic. Such songs evoke strong feelings in people, and various songs have become staples at holiday celebrations. Some interesting facts and history surround many popular Christmas songs. “White Christmas,” for example, is the best-selling Christmas song of all time. However, “Silent Night” is the most recorded Christmas song in history, says TIME. “Santa Claus Is Coming to Town” is considered a jolly song, but song-

writer James Gillespie was unemployed and had just lost his brother prior to writing the song. Still, he was able to look past his grief to pen the classic. Many are unaware that “Jingle Bells” originally was supposed to be a Thanksgiving song. While many beloved Christmas songs have been around for decades, one artist managed to tap into the success of classic Christmas music. Mariah Carey’s “All I Want for Christmas Is You” is a popular modern-day Christmas song.

Local Women Award Impact Grants To Support Inner City School Children, Aged-Out Foster Youth And Seniors

ector, son of a single mom, has been bullied at school and struggled socially. But he has a passion for the viola and now has what he calls his “viola family.” Melissa has a long history of physical and sexual abuse by her biological family and spent many years in the foster care system. Now 22, she is now working full time and has gone back to school. Fully 34 percent of seniors in Morris County face constant food insecurity. Many do not drive and live in locations not served by food pantries. They will soon have a mobile food pantry that brings nutritious food to where they live. These were just three of the stories Impact 100 Garden State members heard as more than 200 of them gathered at the Olde Mill Inn on Nov. 2 to select their three 2016 grant recipients. Anticipation was palpable as seven finalists took turns at the podium to describe their mission. Wharton Institute for the Performing Arts received a $44,000 grant for The Paterson Music Project, an out-ofschool program for children of diverse backgrounds, that uses music to empower children through the communal experience of ensemble learning and performance. The Impact 100 grant will fund free weekly programming that will include additional opportunities, such as a city-wide

orchestra for students like Hector and an intergenerational choir for students as well as their families, teachers, and other members of the community. Executive Director Emily La Iacona fought back her tears as Roots & Wings, based in Denville but serving aged out foster youth throughout our counties, was awarded a $100,000 grant. Aged-out foster youth are among the most underserved, disconnected and statistically vulnerable segment of our society. “We are on cloud nine,” La Iacona said. “This grant will allow us to double the capacity of our outreach program providing hope and possibilities to these youth who would otherwise have nowhere else to turn.” The Interfaith Food Pantry, located in Morris Plains, also received a $100,000 grant. Clients of the Food Pantry are the working poor, senior citizens on fixed incomes, single parents, the disabled, the unemployed, the homebound and others in crisis. Impact 100 funds will set up a Healthy Choice Mobile Pantry Program, providing not only for the purchase of a refrigerated vehicle but also for a supply of fresh foods and outreach to existing food providers. Rosemary Gilmartin, executive director, said, “As the escalating rents have driven people further from local food

pantries, we need a Mobile Pantry to bring food to these residents where they live.” Citing the fact that 34 percent of seniors in Morris County are below the self sufficiency index and have no good means of transportation, she noted, “We plan to bring services to where the need is rather than expecting everyone to come to us.” An additional highlight of the evening was the keynote speaker, Wendy Steele, who created the first Impact 100 in Cincinnati in 2001. Impact 100 Garden State follows that model and there are now 39 other Impact 100s globally. By the end of 2015, Impact 100 women had funded more than $33 million in high-impact transformational grants in their local communities and they are on track to significantly increase those amounts in 2016. Impact 100 (http://impact100gardenstate.org) is a unique organization of women dedicated to improving the lives of NJ residents by supporting nonprofit organizations that serve Morris, Passaic, Somerset, and Sussex counties. Each member contributes $1,000 toward membership and the entire amount funds grants for nonprofit programs that will transform their communities. Since its first giving year, in 2012, Impact 100 members have contributed $769,000, offering at least one $100,000 grant each year.

Local CASA Pledges To Raise Funds For Foster Care Children

ourt Appointed Special Advocates (CASA) of Morris and Sussex Counties has joined the #GivingTuesday movement, a global day of giving that harnesses the collective power of individuals, communities, and organizations to encourage philanthropy and to celebrate generosity worldwide. In preparing to celebrate its 30th Anniversary year, CASA of Morris and Sussex Counties is looking to support 30 new children entering foster care. Occurring this year on Nov. 29, #GivingTuesday is held annually in the United States on the Tuesday after Thanksgiving and the widely recognized shopping events Black Friday and Cyber Monday. This special day is designated to kick-off the holiday-giving-season and to inspire people to collaborate in improving their local

communities and to give back in impactful ways to the charities and causes they support. The goal is to be able to assign 30 new children, entering the system this coming year, to a CASA volunteer. With an average cost of $1,800 per child for one year, $54,000 is needed to provide this support. “As our country comes together and moves forward into a new year we must all remember vulnerable children in our community who need advocates,”said Lisa Barsky Firkser, executive director of CASA. “These children will be the next generation of leaders.” Those who are interested in joining CASA of Morris and Sussex Counties’ #GivingTuesday initiative can visit http:// bit.ly/Support30Children.

Lions And Hyenas Joining Turtle Back Zoo Family

ssex County Executive Joseph N. DiVincenzo, Jr. outlined plans to develop the Ronald J. Mount Lion and Hyena Exhibit at Essex County Turtle Back Zoo in West Orange on Wed., Oct. 26. The exhibit is named after the late Ronald J. Mount, who was a major supporter of the zoo and a member of the Zoological Society of New Jersey and the Volunteer Docent organization. Other additions announced include a new Condor Exhibit, enhancements to the Cattle Exhibit, new fencing at the Essex Farm Petting Zoo and shade structures at the Sea Lion Sound Exhibit, amphitheater and Dinosaur Playground. “We are very excited about bringing lions and hyenas to Turtle Back Zoo because they are the animals that people most identify with the African Savanna,” said DiVincenzo. “In addition, a lion is the central figure on our Essex County Seal, so we are pleased about bringing the real life version of our iconic seal here. We are always looking for new ways to attract new visitors and enhance their experience. Bringing new animal exhibits, upgrading exhibits to improve viewing areas for the public and introducing amenities create new things for people see and learn about and makes their visits more enjoyable.” Mount’s son, Ian Mount, said, “The exhibit is going to be an amazing addition to Turtle Back Zoo. I thank the County Executive and the Freeholders for the deep respect

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

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