Dental Bridges, Dentures, & Implants: What’s The Difference?
do NOT take them in-and-out. Dentures can be made from a number of different materials: acrylic (plastic), metal, a combination of acrylic and metal, or “thermoplastic.” The advantages of the acrylic include cost and simplicity. They are the least expensive, and the easiest to fabricate and repair. The disadvantages include thickness and low stability.

teeth on either side of spaces to keep them in place (called “abutment” teeth), and potential cavity development or need for root canals on these abutments over time.

Sometimes people need to replace missing teeth or teeth that will be extracted shortly. Bridges, dentures, and implants are the most common ways to accomplish this, but what are the differences?
Thermoplastic materials have the advantage of being flexible, which many patients find to be more comfortable. However, repairs can be difficult to impossible, based upon the type of material utilized.

The most common area of confusion lies between dentures and bridges. Dentures are removable: you take them in-and-out of your mouth. Bridges are permanent: you

Unlike dentures that are removable, bridges are permanent. This is one reason why bridges are more popular than dentures. Other advantages include increased biting / chewing power, increased esthetics, and less fuss with them since they don’t have to be taken in and out. Downsides include the “shaving down” of
Dental implants provide a host of options. Most people think of an implant as a post that is placed into the jawbone to hold a single tooth (crown). This is one use of an implant, but there are other functions. The implant is actually the post: you can use it to secure a denture or a bridge, also! With respect to dentures, the implant can help to eliminate or decrease the number of clasps, providing a more esthetic outcome and more stable set of teeth. Bridges benefit from implants because now you cannot develop cavities around the abutments and there is no need for root canals. Implant bridges also eliminate the need for drilling on other teeth.

Glory Days: 2014 Hackettstown High School Boys’ Soccer
By Steve Sears
Hackettstown Tigers boys’ soccer senior forward Steve Jaxheimer recalled the words of legendary head coach, Gary Thomas, prior to the 2014 season.
“He said, ‘This team is going to be something special,’” Jaxheimer recalled.
Anniversary celebrations can be nice – and this one certainly is. It has been a decade exactly since Thomas, who was with the program for 41 seasons – 30 as a head coach – retired with a record of 354 – 174 - 47, and his final team gave him and themselves something very special to remember.
The Tigers finished the 2014 soccer season with a 23 –1 – 1 record and a NJSIAA Group II state title. The team broke eight school records that fall, including most wins and winning percentage in school history, fewest losses in a season, and they scored 79 goals to the opponents 18, and had 13 shutouts.
Jaxheimer, who that fall scored 14 goals and tied a school record for 19 assists, said, “It is so crazy how much time flies. I miss it every day. Even when I look at my cleats and see them taped up and everything, I say to myself, ‘I want to go back.’ Nothing was
more fun than practicing with that team, being with those coaches and everything. It was the best time.”
Thomas said, “It was a heck of a way to go out. It was a coach’s dream, because they had the maturity and intelligence to listen intently to what I had to say and go out and do it. What a dream it was as a coach!”
Thomas in 2014 was assisted by Matt DeMartini, Matt Winkler, and Steve Mensinger.
DeMartini said, “It was a magical run from start to finish. I cannot say enough about Gary. Just his knowledge of the game and the way the kids locked in and bought into what he was teaching them, it was meant to be one of those things. We were going to win it with Gary at the helm.”
The one blemish on the season was a loss to North Hunterdon in the quarterfinal round of the Hunterdon/Warren/Sussex Tournament, but the Tigers ran roughshod over most of their opponents.
However, the season did have its drama. In the North II Group II sectional title game before a packed house at Morrison Field, the Tigers upended Garfield, 2 – 1. Senior Josh Weiss scored one of his record tying 24 goals for a single season in the game,
and junior Aaron Maciak added the game winner.
“There was probably 10 minutes left,” Maciak said. “I got the ball around midfield, was dribbling the ball and faked one way, and someone said, and I think it was (goalie) Kyle Palomino from all the way in the back, ‘Just shoot it!’ I just decided to let it loose and, I do not know why, but the defender
went the other way, and then I kicked it from probably 25 – 30 yards away. The rest is history.”
Maciak paused, then added, “There were so many good players on that team. There was always somebody stepping up in a game when we needed it the most.”

the win, and Ramsey was up next in the semifinal round of the Group II state finals. Perhaps the coldest game of the season weather-wise, the game ended in a 1 – 1 tie as Tigers goalie Kyle Palomino made critical saves.
Senior forward Jared Leckburg, with a nod to the Palomino and the Tigers stingy defense in front of him, said, “It definitely started from the back and worked its way up to the front with our team.”
Mikey Taenzer stepped up in the final minute of the semifinal contest, as a shot from Ramsey’s 6’ 3” forward Mike Pepper –who had already scored once in the contest - headed for the goal. It was inches away from ending the Tigers’ season.
“It gives me chills just thinking about it,” Taenzer said. “I went up on a set play, like a corner kick or something, and they countered, and I just remember seeing him way up the field. I thought, ‘Oh, man, I have to get back there.’”
Taenzer sprinted towards the open goal and made it there just as Pepper took aim and fired. As Ramsey anticipated an eventual game-winning celebration, Taenzer spoiled the party; he was there in time to clear it away from the goal line.
The Tigers in overtime would win via penalty kicks, 4 – 1, and head to Kean University to face Cinnaminson for the outright Group II state title.
Palomino, who had 123 saves during the seasons and sparkled during the Tigers’ biggest games, sealed the net after an opening goal by Cinnaminson.
Palomino said, “We did not let ourselves get emotionally down when the score was 1 - 0. We did not even believe that we were not going to win.”
He would go on the have 13 saves in the title game, which was decided in the second half.
The Tigers, on a Jeremy DelValle goal, would tie the game at 1 - 1, and then take the lead and cement the victory. First, Weiss fed Leckburg, who outran the defender and beat the goalie for the game winner at 6:30.
Leckburg said, “I headed the ball along, and then it put me one on one with the goalie, and the goalie came out towards the ball, thinking that he could get to it before me. I just put it around him right in the net.”
Weiss, who at the 1:43 mark scored the Tigers’ third goal to make the title official, said, “Honestly, I knew we were going to do something big right from the beginning (of the season). We started off pretty hot,
and a lot of us played together for a couple years, whether it be on varsity or on JV. I think when it came down to it, everyone
had each other’s back. It was 11 players on the field, and it took everyone doing their job to get what we did done.”

Four Centenary University Alumni Graduate from the New Jersey State Police Academy
Four Centenary University alumni were among the 124 recruits who graduated from the New Jersey Police Training Academy on July 12. The Centenary alumni—Kevin J. Zaccareo Jr., Peter J. Diaz, Anthony V. Cecere, and Yousef Y. Fahmi—completed 24 weeks of intensive physical and academic training before their graduation, which was held at Monmouth University. Troopers Zaccareo, Diaz, and Fahmi were all Centenary criminal justice majors who graduated in 2023, while Trooper Cecere earned his Centenary degree in liberal arts in 2021.
“The State Police academy accepts the best of the best,” said Douglas Compton, Ed.D., assistant professor of criminal justice at Centenary. “We’re extremely proud of the Centenary graduates who were part of the recent state police class. Their presence at the academy, which is highly competitive, reflects their intelligence and tenacity, as well as the great relationship the University has with New Jersey State Police Superintendent Col. Patrick J. Callahan.”
Dr. Compton teaches a course called Careers in Criminal Justice, which is part of Centenary’s Bachelor of Arts in Criminal Justice. The University also offers a Master
of Arts in Organizational Leadership. Each spring, Dr. Compton invites a cadre of criminal justice professionals to campus to encourage students to explore job opportunities in a range of professions, as well as issues facing law enforcement today. A highlight to the speaker schedule is an annual visit from Col. Callahan.
During his presentations, Col. Callahan invites Centenary students to visit state police headquarters in West Trenton. Three of the four recent Centenary recruits took him up on the offer, later signing up for the state police written and physical exams to qualify for the academy.
Of the 124 members of the 166th New Jersey State Police Class, 121 were men and three were women, 116 have college degrees, 17 are prior members of the military, 10 have prior law enforcement experience, and four were firefighters. In addition, 57 were college athletes, including the Centenary graduates: Troopers Fahmi and Diaz were members of the University’s men’s soccer team, while Trooper Cecere was a wrestler, and Trooper Zaccareo played baseball.
The New Jersey State Police Training Academy is one of the few residential
academies in the nation, making the life of a recruit challenging in many ways. Recruits report to the academy before dawn on Monday morning, and don’t return home until dismissal on Friday evening. They are away from their families during significant life events. During the 166th academy class, two recruits had a child born and eight lost a family member. The newly graduated troopers have been assigned to stations across the state.
At their graduation ceremony, Col.
Callahan said, “Policing is continually evolving to meet the challenges of our times. I know these troopers are committed to embracing change, adopting new technologies, and fostering community trust to better serve and protect our citizens. I am confident they are fully prepared, resilient, and ready to serve. They embody the values of integrity, courage, and dedication. I look forward to seeing them become leaders and positively impact their communities.”
The 9/11 Memorial
Among the more indelible images to emerge on September 11, 2001 was the sight of two planes crashing into the North and South Towers of the World Trade Center. Still photos and video footage of those planes flying into the Twin Towers were the first images of the attacks many Americans saw, and no one who watched events unfold that morning will ever forget those images.
Though both the North and South Towers fell on that day, today the site where each tower once stood is a serene retreat in the bustling lower Manhattan neighborhood that was shaken to its core on the day of the attacks. The 9/11 Memorial was designed by architect Michael Arad and landscape architect Peter Walker. The 9/11 Memorial and Museum notes that Arad and Walker’s proposal
was chosen in a design competition that featured 5,201 submissions from 63 countries.
The 9/11 Memorial is located on the western side of the formal World Trade Center where the Twin Towers once stood. Two enormous reflecting pools are part of the Memorial Plaza, which is where the North and South Towers once stood. The pools feature the two largest man-made waterfalls in North America. Around the edges of the pools, the names of people who were killed in the 9/11 attacks in New York, the Pentagon, on Flight 93, and in the 1993 bombing at the World Trade Center are etched in bronze.
In recognition of the crash sites, 400 swamp white oak trees were selected from nurseries located in New York, Pennsylvania and
near Washington, D.C. These trees are located throughout the Memorial Plaza, providing a peaceful respite separate from the surrounding city. The Memorial Plaza also includes one Callery pear tree. That tree was discovered at Ground Zero weeks after the attacks and it was severely damaged. The tree, now known as the Survivor Tree, was nursed back to health by members of the New York City Parks and Recreation Department and returned to the World Trade Center site in 2010, where it still stands as an enduring symbol of resilience and perseverance.
The 9/11 Memorial is free and open daily from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. More information about the 9/11 Memorial and the 9/11 Memorial and Museum can be found at www.911memorial.org.

Oktoberfest is a German festival which started as the celebration of a prince’s marriage in the 1800s. Online Brittanica explains that over time, Oktoberfest morphed into a folk festival famously celebrated in Munich, Germany, but it is also held in areas of the United States with the celebratory spirit of food, fun, and music. Germania Park of New Jersey, Inc., a social club dedicated to sharing German traditions and culture will be holding Oktoberfest, open to the public, on Saturday, September 21st from 12:00 pm - 11:00 pm and on Sunday, September 22nd from 1:00pm – 7:00pm. Located at 56 Conger Street in Rockaway Township, admission to the event will be $5 at the door. The event will be held rain or shine (as Germania Park has
Oktoberfest in Rockaway
a large outdoor pavilion). Recently, Susan Herleth of Allamuchy, Germania Park’s entertainment chairperson, talked about the festival. Some might wonder why they are holding Oktoberfest in September. Herleth explained that they started holding the festival in the ‘70s; September was picked for it because, at that time, German bands were coming over for the Steuben Day parade in New York in September and would be available to come to Germania Park. Even though things changed, the date tradition continues.
Actually, Germania Park holds an Oktoberfest in June, too. It is the German spirit to celebrate; it doesn’t matter what the date. Herleth shared that in Germany, “they make a celebration out of the simplest things.”
As an example, she noted the Asparagus Festival held to celebrate the harvesting
of asparagus.
Germania Park’s September Oktoberfest will include German food, music, vendors, a beer stein contest, and special fun for kids on the Sunday. Past Oktoberfests have had 2,000 in attendance over two days. The kitchen opens at 1pm each day. There will be German beer and the kitchen will be preparing and selling German style food including potato salad, bratwurst, potato pancakes, and various German desserts. There will be live music on both days. On Saturday, from 1pm – 5pm will be Budd and Linda, and from 6pm –10pm, the Barvarski Boys will be performing. Herleth describes the latter as “an absolutely phenomenal young band”. On Sunday from 2 – 6pm will be David Betz. Offerings will include traditional German music such as polkas. There will
Celebrating 50 Years
be vendors with a couple of them selling German items. Among the vendors will be Eddie’s Almonds, which has been at the festival for years. “He sells the best nuts,” shared Herleth. In addition, there will be an information table representing the German Language School of Morris County for those who might be interested in its offerings. There will also be a beer stein contest for both men and women; and on Sunday, there will be a variety of special offerings for children.
What’s a beer stein contest? Herleth explained that in a beer stein contest, participants have to hold a stein full of beer with a straight out-stretched arm. It takes a strong arm. The one who can do it longest is
the winner. There will be a beer stein contest for men and for women.
As for that Sunday, it will be a busy day for children’s activities. Those include a petting zoo, a clown, and face painting in the early afternoon. At 3pm, there will be a children’s ice cream parade. The children in
attendance will be asked to get up and join in the parade that will walk around and end up at an ice cream vendor’s truck. There, the children will be treated to free ice cream.

AI Remember Dad: Home From The War
t the age of 18, my father enlisted in the United States Army Air Corps, during World War II. What inspired my father to sign up for the Air Corps, is in itself, an inspiring story.
Dad’s older brother, Edward, was serving in the U. S. Navy, aboard a ship, not far from the coast of dear old England. The ship was sunk by a German war ship. Uncle Ed bobbed up and down in the Atlantic Ocean for at least one full day and one full night. He was saved by a British ship. I think that the
sinking of Uncle Ed’s navy ship, had a deeply profound effect upon my father. It inspired him to join the service, at such a young age.
My father grew up in the shadows of the maple, the elm, the oak and the pines, at the end of Mabey Lane. It was there that his father had built a two-story home. To the west, the north and the east of this dear home, lied a thick forest. To the south, lied a big, open field. My grandfather named the big field, Earl’s Meadow. For it was on this beautiful field that Grandpa’s brother, Earl, was going to build a home, when he came

A rare photo of Dad and Grandma taken at the end of Mabey Lane, upon Dad’s return home from Hickam Airfield. In the background, on the right hand side of this picture, you can see the garage that Grandpa built. Dad’s old homestead still stands beside that garage. To the best of my knowledge, the old garage is also still standing.
home from World War I. Sadly, my Great Uncle Earl was killed in battle in France.
After his basic training was completed, Dad was shipped to Hickam Airfield in Hawaii. Hickam bordered Pearl Harbor. At first Dad had the job of driving a big fuel truck, to fuel up war planes in the open fields of Hickam. Later, Dad would work on P-51 Fighter Planes. Specifically, Dad had the responsibility to change spark plugs in these Mighty Mustangs, as they were also called.
An interesting side note of Dad’s stay at Hickam Airfield is that he became acquainted and became friends with the late, great Jerry Siegel. The man, whom with the help of Joe Shuster, created Superman. Jerry wrote for Hickam Highlights, the official newspaper publication of Hickam Airfield. Dad had the high honor of once being interviewed by Jerry.
My father told me, on several occasions, that there was always the fear of another Japanese attack upon Pearl Harbor and
Hickam Airfield. The servicemen at Hickam were always on alert, for another attack. My grandmother, Bertha Mabey, was a very devoted, religious woman. She once told me that she prayed many times a day, that the Japanese would never again attack Pearl Harbor and Hickam Airfield.
During the early Summer of 1946, Dad received an Honorable Discharge from the U. S. Army Air Corps. He had served his country well. Dad returned home to Lincoln Park, to his hamlet homestead at the end of Mabey Lane. He began dating Janet Kemmerer, from Boonton. The girl who had sent him cookies and wrote letters to him during his stay at Hickam. The very girl that Dad married and was destined to became my Mom.

By Henry M. Holden
World War I created a severe food crisis in Europe as agricultural workers were recruited into military service and farms were transformed into battlefields. As a result, the burden of feeding millions of starving people fell to the United States.
Faced with having to feed an expanded military and a hungry population, the US government reintroduced the idea of War Gardens from World War I. They rebranded them as Victory Gardens for World War II.
Victory Gardens freed up agricultural produce, packaging, and transportation resources for the war effort, and helped offset shortages of agricultural workers. Victory Gardeners increased their health through physical activity, and their families enjoyed better nutrition. The program also fostered patriotism, and a sense of community.
World War II Victory Gardens were grown on farms, in backyards, on city rooftops, in window-boxes, on public lands, and in vacant lots.
Victory Gardens, also called food gardens for defense, were vegetable, fruit, and herb gardens planted around private homes and public parks
Sowing the Seeds of Victory
during both World Wars. In wartime, governments encouraged people to plant victory gardens not only to supplement their rations but also to boost morale. They were used along with rationing stamps and cards to reduce pressure on the food supply.
Victory Gardens is Morris County’s smallest municipality, measured both
by size and population, and its most densely populated. The origins of the borough began as a federal housing project for local defense workers employed at Picatinny Arsenal and other nearby defense related industries during World War II. The initial layout of the land to construction took just six months.
This youngest municipality in Morris County was incorporated after separation from Randolph Township in 1951. Victory Gardens, like the 19th century company towns that preceded it, was created to encourage efficiency and productivity
by providing affordable housing.
Morris County acquired 91 acres in Randolph Township as the site of a 300-unit housing project for war industry employees. The borough was named for the victory gardens planted at private residences
during World War I. The federal government paid for all infrastructure.
The program discouraged people from growing private victory gardens in large towns and cities. The general lack of space, poor soil, and poor light meant a poor continued on page 19

return on war-scarce materials including pesticides, tools, and fertilizers
Gardening was also a way to spend time when not working and a way to improve their surroundings. Because those in the camps were under the same rationing restrictions as other Americans, victory gardens supplemented government-issue meals with fresh and varied produce Promoted through posters advocating
civilians planting their own vegetables, the war garden movement spread by word of mouth, through women’s clubs, civic associations, and chambers of commerce. which actively encouraged participation in the campaign. First-time gardeners were provided with pamphlets on how, when and where to sow. They were offered suggestions as to the best crops to plant, along with tips on preventing disease and insect infestations.
The venture was so well received that the government turned its attention to distributing canning and drying manuals to help people preserve their surplus crops. In addition to the appeal to men and women, the Federal Bureau of Education initiated a U.S. School Garden Army to mobilize children to enlist as “soldiers of the soil.” The results of these efforts yielded more than 5.2 million garden plots nationally which generated an estimated 1.45 million quarts of canned fruits and vegetables.
Shortly after the United States was drawn into World War II, victory gardens began to re-emerge. Once again, commercial crops were diverted to the military overseas while transportation was redirected towards moving troops and munitions instead of food.
With the introduction of food rationing in the United States in the spring of 1942, Americans had an even greater incentive to grow their own fruits and vegetables in locations they could find: Eleanor Roosevelt even planted a victory garden on the White House lawn.
municipality for its 1,300 residents covering 92 acres.
Victory Gardens was incorporated as a borough by an Act of the New Jersey Legislature on June 20, 1951, from portions of Randolph Township, based on the results of the referendum passed on September 18, 1951.
Randolph Township residents approved a referendum as part of a September 1951, special election in which voters were asked if the township’s Victory Gardens neighborhood should be removed from the township and created as an independent
After almost 40 years, the original buildings needed replacement. A project approved in 1973 brought the construction of 184 units of garden apartments on a site covering 12.4 acres, providing permanent housing for an estimated 400 people. That would be contrasted with the original structures built in 1942 that had long passed their expected lifespan.
People who were unable to garden were encouraged to help preserve produce for others, or to distribute flowers to hospitals and shut ins.
Victory Gardens introduced people to gardening and to unfamiliar crops like Swiss chard and kohlrabi. Some also raised chickens in their gardens, providing eggs, meat, and insect control. Community Victory Gardens provided more than a plot of dirt: “War news was shared. Recipes and remedies were shared, and gossip too. Some Americans had gardens before World War II. But many were new to the

practice: About 18 million families met the situation by growing Victory Gardens. Many of these people will be growing a garden for the first time.
Growing Victory Gardens was only half the challenge. Gardeners also had to preserve their crops for use throughout the year. There were many resources to help people preserve their crops, ranging from information to canning classes.
As in World War I, Victory Gardens freed up agricultural produce, packaging, and transportation resources for the war effort, and helped offset shortages of agricultural workers. Victory Gardeners increased their health through physical activity, and their families enjoyed better diets.
At the outbreak of WWII, virtually all Japanese Americans were relocated to detention camps far away from the cities. Perhaps most importantly, gardening was a way to keep the Japanese heritage alive and foster community healing. Detention camp gardeners planted traditional Japanese vegetables and ornamental plants alongside vegetables like peas, pumpkins, corn, and cucumbers. Japanese gardeners often incorporated traditional layouts and locations in their plantings. Japanese and Japanese Americans planted their gardens in detention camps knowing they may not be there to harvest them. The reasons that residents chose to grow Victory Gardens were complex. For many there was the patriotism of being American and supporting the war, despite the government forcing them into camps.
Federal and state agencies, local governments, private citizens, and civic groups all published guides and held classes to ensure success. They advised on what to grow, how to grow it, gave sample garden plans, sample yields, and information on weed and pest control.
Camp residents planted these trees in part for shade, but they are also a popular choice for bonsai. Soil chemistry identified chemicals added to make the desert soils productive. These included ammonium nitrate, phosphorus, potassium, crumbled eggshells and crushed abalone shells.
By encouraging Americans to spend time outside and eat more fresh produce, the Victory Garden Program promoted healthy habits. In addition to their physical health benefits, victory gardens helped boost morale by bringing communities together.
Studies have shown that spending time in nature can have physical, mental, and emotional health benefits, including lower blood pressure, reduced stress, and improved mood.
Organizers recommended communal gardening in school grounds, parks, vacant lots, and elsewhere. Companies and agencies including the National Institutes of Health and managers of the Manhattan Project also provided land for employee Victory Gardens.
Many Americans had gardens before World War II. But many were new to the practice.
Federal and state agencies, local governments, private citizens, and civic groups all published guides and held classes to ensure success. They advised on what to grow, how to grow it, gave sample garden plans, sample yields, and information on weed and pest control. Many who grew up with Victory Gardens continued gardening throughout their lives and introduced it to their children.
Today Victory Gardens in Morris County is like many other suburban regions. But there are some differences. Victory Gardens has curvilinear streets, a pattern that is a legacy of Romanic nineteenth century characteristic of many New Jersey suburbs built in the late 1920s and 30s. It also named its streets after American presidents.
