Whippany Park Students Places Third In N.J. For Top Mascot

By Lisa McNamara yan Lapinski really knows how to fire up the fans as Whippany Park High School’s Wildcats mascot, and it’s no wonder that Lapinski finished as one of five finalists in NJ.com’s Mascot Challenge.

Schools, communities and mascots posted videos when the Mascot Challenge opened in October. Twenty-five mascots were chosen and more than 130,000 votes were cast to narrow the playing field down to the final five. NJ Advance Media visited the schools to film the finalists, and the crew arrived around early November to capture Lapinski in action.

He says, “I just did my own thing,” and wasn’t fazed by the attention since, “I’m used to people following me around.”

Voting closed on December 4 and a celebrity panel, pro mascots Jersey Devil and Mr. Met, helped determine the

winner.

Lapinksi received more than 21,000 votes, finishing third in the final voting poll. The winner of the 2017 #NJmascotchallenge determined by both votes and the celebrity panel is Rancocas Valley’s Red Devil in Mount Holly.

As the Wildcats’ mascot, Lapinski gets the crowd riled up by sprinting into the stands, greeting parents, and hanging around the cheerleaders during football and basketball games, but Lapinski, a junior at WPHS, became the heart and soul of the school in a somewhat unexpected way. Having Type I Diabetes, Lapinski is not too involved in sports, but as a child, a Disney movie with a mascot inspired him. However, it wasn’t until he got involved in technical theater, that the idea of “mascot” began to take root. His freshman year, he worked in theater with fellow student Matt Gallo. Lap-

inski looked up to Gallo, a senior who was also the school’s mascot, and Gallo encouraged Lapinski to become the mascot one day; however, the role is traditionally awarded to a senior. During Lapinski’s sophomore year, the mascot got hurt, so Lapinski approached Brent Kaiser, Whippany Park’s assistant principal/athletic director, and discussed the opening. He became the mas-

cot and has been in the spotlight and on the sidelines since then.

The competition has been “a nice experience for both Ryan and our mascot,” explains Kaiser. “The fact that we made it to the final round is awesome and a direct connection to his efforts. He does such a great job. The town, community and school itself continued on page 6

IMPLANT DENTISTRY For over twenty years, implant dentistry has been a reliable option for patients with missing teeth. With the ability to support a crown, an implant procedure has the capacity to bypass drilling the adjacent teeth. Additionally, with the recent availability of mini implants, implant dentistry has expanded its utilization to anchoring both full and partial dentures for a more secure fit. As they provide an economic alternative, patients have been very receptive of mini implants, as they make eating and speaking with dentures much easier.

Dr. Helen Chiu has always been involved in implant dentistry, making it an integrated part of her everyday practice. From replacing a single tooth, inserting crowns or bridges, securing dentures, to creating multiple, full-arch reconstructions, she performs every step of each process, surgical and restorative.

Thomas Edison’s West Orange Home Open For Holiday Tours

Glenmont Estate/Glenmont Estate kitchen. Photo courtesy/Karen Sloat-Olsen.

T

By Anya Bochman he Glenmont Estate in West Orange, built in 1880, had a less than illustrious start when its original owner, Henry Pedder, was jailed for embezzlement. According to Karen Sloat-Olsen, chief of Interpretation and Education at the Thomas Edison National Historical Park, the house was subsequently put on the market. Thomas Edison, newly engaged to his second wife Mina Miller in 1886, saw the grand house for sale and bought it for his bride as a wedding present.

The 29-room mansion sits amid rolling lawns and includes a barn and carriage house on the property. Miller

Edison, as well as the Edison children, made renovations and additions to the estate over time; new greenhouses were erected on the grounds, and a garage – to accommodate Edison’s interest in cars – was added to the house.

Today, these sights are available to curious visitors; the greenhouses are functional and managed by volunteers, and the garage includes an original charging panel and gas pump for cars of the era – as well as automobiles owned

by Edison. The first and second floors of Glenmont Estate, which include original furnishings, are available for viewing.

The estate is part of the Thomas Edison National His-

torical Park in Llewellyn Park in West Orange, a site “dedicated to promoting an international understanding and appreciation of the life and extraordinary achievements of Thomas Alva Edison by preserving, protecting and interpreting the Park’s extensive historic artifact and archive collections.”

The property has been open for tours since October; starting on Nov. 24 through Jan. 7, the inventor’s home will undergo a special program called “Holidays at Glenmont.”

During this period, Glenmont Estate will be decorated in the style it saw when inhabited by the Edison family. Selected musical pieces will accompany tours, with greenery and red poinsettias decking the mantles above the fireplaces. Staircases will

be ringed with boughs and red ribbons, with wreaths decorating every window.

According to a press release by the park, “in the den, the majestic 10-foot tree will be lit and the presents underneath will be waiting as if the Edison children Madeleine, Theodore and Charles will soon come running down the stairs from their rooms.”

The holiday tours will be offered on Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays from noon to 4 p.m.; the site will be closed on Sunday, Dec. 24. Spring tours on Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays will begin again on Friday, March 30, 2018.

Visitors to the estate must purchase car passes and tour tickets at the Laboratory Complex Visitor Center. Admission is $10, and includes the Glencontinued on page 6

Whippany Assisted Living Community Expands Programs

he distinctive Lester Senior Housing Community in Whippany has expanded its programs for its assisted living residents with new activities to foster wellness of mind, body and soul. The programs are offered in the Weston Assisted Living Residence, one of two buildings comprising the senior living community, which provides hotel-like amenities and services amid parklike surroundings. Among the new offerings include Yoga for seniors, led by Tami Rager.

According to Rager, practicing yoga helps seniors build

confidence and self-awareness, and has been shown to help manage pain. Rager also teaches a weekly Balance & Mindfulness class at Lester. Also, Music & Memory is offered for residents in the community’s Memory Care Suite, in which personalized music playlists are set up on portable digital devices. Listening to musical favorites helps keep minds active and encourages meaningful social interactions, so important for older adults who have memory issues.

Other activities include word and puzzle games, card

mont Estate and the Laboratory Complex, as well as the surrounding estate grounds.

Children under age 16 are free, as are seniors with valid senior passes.

Sloat-Olsen points out that Llewellyn Park is a private residential community – necessitating the car passes in order

to get to the Edison residence.

“The tickets sell out quickly due to limited space, so it’s advisable for visitors to come fairly early,” Sloat-Olsen says.

The Visitor Center of the Park is located at 211 Main Street in West Orange. For more information or directions, call 973-736-0550, ext.

Kaiser entered Lapinski into the competition and Marty Keating, a Whippany Park graduate, made the first video of him.

“I’m surprised I’m a mascot and that I’m doing any of this,” Lapinski humbly remarks, and he credits theater and Gallo with his good fortune. To sum up, he feels “very lucky.”

The Lester Senior Housing Community recently expanded its “Friends & Neighbors” day program to area residents with memory disorders. It includes special activities and a kosher lunch in the new Memory Care Suite in the Weston Assisted Living Residence. It is available to older adults who are living at home and are seeking opportunities for activities and

socializing. Flexible, short-term respite stays are also available for seniors whose caregivers or family will be away, or for those who wish to sample the Lester lifestyle for anywhere from 10 days to two months.

Versatile Volunteer Embraces Role As CCM Board Chair And Veteran’s Cemetery Manager

W

By Cheryl Conway hether its politics, veterans’ affairs or academics, one Mt. Olive resident manages to stay involved no matter what hat he wears.

Paul Licitra of Flanders, former mayor of Mt. Olive, just received two appointments in November. He was elected chair of the County College of Morris Board of Trustees on Nov. 15 at its annual reorganization meeting; a day earlier he received a letter by the governor’s office to serve on the Brigadier General William C. Doyle Veterans’ Memorial Cemetery Advisory Council.

Licitra is excited about both appointments and looks forward to any contributions he can make as a volunteer.

“I look forward to being

chairman,” says Licitra about his new two-year role on the CCM board. “It’s an exciting school to be at right now. I consider it to be top 10 in the nation. We just changed presidents.”

On the CCM Board of Trustees for the past six years, Licitra was appointed to the board in 2012 by the Morris

County Board of Freeholders.

Reappointed last year, he has served in multiple roles such as secretary, vice chair and now chair.

“Every two years, we rotate it,” Licitra says regarding the chair’s role.

The CCM Board of Trustees is composed of eleven Morris County residents from business, education, law and other professional fields who volunteer their services in four-year terms. The board sets policy and has final authority over budgets and expenditures.

In the midst of its 50th anniversary, CCM has had just three presidents, with Dr. Anthony J. Iacono recently inaugurated as the college’s third president.

He “came in with a new vitality,” says Licitra of the new

leader. “He’s reenergized the staff. He brings a vitality and energy that’s unbelievable. It’s pleasure to work with the new president,” as well as the old president and staff.

Licitra first got connected with CCM in 2005 when his daughter attended and received her associate’s degree in early childhood education, went onto Montclair State and now teaches in Randolph.

“I always heard about what a great school it was,” says Licitra. “My daughter graduated from CCM; I saw how it turned her life. She made dean’s list; she became a great teacher.”

According to Licitra, CCM is “one of the only schools in N.J. with a population that’s increasing. We are that good; looking to stay that way.” continued on page 9

CCM Board Chair... continued from page 8

CCM currently boast 15,000 students in various programs, according to Licitra.

“Our campus is immense,” he says.

“It’s an education you can afford” for two years with credits that will transfer to all N.J. colleges.

As a board, “we accomplish a lot,” says Licitra. It meets twice a month. As chair, he gets to set the agenda for meetings, appoint committee chairs, deal with the college president daily on college matters and mentor new trustees.

“I make sure everyone does their jobs,” says Licitra.

He says the board’s mission is “Don’t get in the way. It’s running so well; give them the tools to do what they do best.”

As far as making any changes, Licitra sees no need as “I’ve been looking for something for six years. It’s a well-oiled machine; just give them the tools and don’t get in the way. They are that good of a staff.”

For goals, Licitra says, “I’d like to make his [Iacono’s] transition at CCM a pleasant one.”

He is also working on some exten-

sions with the college, wants to see board members get more involved with the college and its students such as attending plays, serving on advisory boards and even activate a veterans’ committee.

Having served as an Army Sgt. Military policeman in Vietnam from 1965-1927, Licitra says he does what he can to help support veterans.

“I’m attentive to the veterans and what their wishes are,” says Licitra. “I do a lot of outreach with veterans. I thank them for their service.”

Licitra was a commissioner with the N.J. Agents Orange Commission in the 1980’s in which he helped research at a lab at Rutgers University and draft legislation on Agent Orange, a herbicide and chemical used by the U.S. military as part of its herbicidal warfare program.

“Whenever they need somebody” regarding veterans, Licitra gets involved.

On Nov. 14, he received notice of his appointment by Gov. Chris Christie to serve on the Brigadier General William C. Doyle Veterans’ Memorial Cemetery Advisory Council through June 2020.

“The governor needed a veteran on

the committee so they came to me,” says Licitra. “It was another way I can help veterans.”

On this council, Licitra will be one of five commissioners to help manage the one veterans’ cemetery in N.J. As a resident of Flanders with his wife Norma for the past 45 years and their three kids now grown, Licitra has served in various capacities.

Licitra served as Mt. Olive Twp. mayor from 2000-2004 after serving eight years as a councilmember from 1992-2000, the planning board for 20 years, Morris County Planning Board and various state assembly committees.

“I was very active; I coached four sports at one time,” says Licitra, who currently manages the N.J. State Motor Vehicle Commission in Newton and works part-time as a non-paid volunteer managing the Allamuchy satellite office of Senator Steven Oroho and Assemblyman Parker Space. His professional experience involves 40 years in insurance covering all aspects of risk management.

Picking Perfect Holiday Presents

ift-giving season is a time that’s special for many families and friends, and it’s the perfect opportunity to show the loved ones in your life just how much you appreciate them.

However, it isn’t always easy to pick out the perfect present, especially with so many options available. When you’re stuck in a gifting rut, turn to the professionals, like those at Macy’s, to help you choose just the right gifts for everyone on your list.

“The holidays are a celebratory time when loved ones can come together and show how much they appreciate having each other in their lives,” said Cassandra Jones, senior vice president of Macy’s Fashion. “I truly believe that the perfect gift can bring people together. To enhance that experience for our customers, we’ve created an unparalleled assortment of gift-giving items, from tech to beauty, so that each present is the perfect one.”

Find more gift ideas for the holiday season at macys.com/gifts.

For Her If you’re struggling to find just the right idea for the lady on your list, don’t take a chance on any random beauty product.

Instead, give the beauty lover in your life the gift of options with a Macy’s Beauty Box subscription. For $15 a month, she’ll receive five deluxe beauty samples selected by experts, plus a bonus sample and a $5 coupon to use in-store or online on her next beauty purchase.

For Kids Interactive technology helps get kids off the couch and provides them nearly endless entertainment. Give the children on your gift list the opportunity to dance their way to fun with a piano mat from FAO Schwarz. The 24 keys work just like a real piano, which allows for playing the included selections or creating your own works of musical art. Included with the mat are selections such as Beethoven’s “5th Symphony,” “Chopsticks,” “Dance of the Sugar Plum Fairy” and more.

For Him Help him revamp his style in one easy step with a Sprezza Box, which makes it simple to add something new and coordinated to his wardrobe. Available in four distinct boxes curated by experts, each contains five items, including accessories such as ties, pocket squares, socks, sunglasses, wallets and money clips. Each box evokes a specific look and feel. Just pick

R the right one to match your gift list so you can add something new to his style.

For the Home The natural interior decorator on your list likely loves the unique touch of comforting pillows throughout living rooms and dens. Let him or her cuddle up to the cozy style of this decorative pillow from the Martha Stewart Collection, featuring a festive color palette and polar bear perfect for the holiday season. At 18 inches-by-18 inches, it’s the ideal size for curling up on the couch during a chilly day.

For Entertaining Searching for a gift for the natural entertainer in your life can be difficult if common items like wine glasses and electric bottle openers are already accounted for.

An option like a bar cart from Hotel Collection can help make entertaining a breeze for that person on your list who enjoys

hosting. With three shelves and wheels for easy transportation, it’s ideal for extravagant parties, small get-togethers or anything in-between.

For the Kitchen Gourmet gift baskets from Di Bruno Bros. are sure to make an impression for home chefs who might need a little inspiration. Choose a curated basket filled with a wide variety of specialty foods and products hand-selected for top quality. Themes include options like this “Sriracha Foodie,” which comes packed with snacks, toppings and sauces infused with fiery Asian chili flavor in sweet jerky, pickles, gourmet salt, tortilla chips, horseradish sauce, mayonnaise, peachy jam and classic sriracha.

Keep Safe This Holiday... continued from page 7

tick in fires and other accidents between Thanksgiving and New Year’s Day. But fire is not the only concern during the holiday season. Revelers who celebrate a bit too much can pose a threat, as can road weary travelers or overnight guests who unknowingly put loved ones in harm’s way during their stays.

Thankfully, many accidents that occur during the holiday season are avoidable if holiday celebrants focus on safe ways to celebrate.

• Choking: All of that entertaining and partying means more food is consumed. To keep up with the hustle and bustle of the season, many people must eat on the go. The National Safety Council says nearly 3,000 people in the United States die each year from choking. Taking small bites and chewing completely, while also avoiding talking while chewing, can help. Children should be

Roofing

kept away from small decorations, as even pine needles can be a choking hazard.

• Toxic plants: Some plants, including mistletoe and holly, can be toxic to pets and young children whose smaller bodies may be more vulnerable than adults’. When decorating, consider decorating with artificial plants instead of live, potentially poisonous plants.

• Alcohol-related incidents: Holiday fun frequently involves alcoholic beverages. Law enforcement officials point out that the rate of driving while intoxicated tends to increase during the holidays. Implementing strict “designated driver” rules and making contact information for taxi or ridesharing services readily available to holiday guests can prevent tragedies.

• Medicine mishaps: Relatives visiting for Christmas may bring their prescription medications along when staying overnight. Curious children

may encounter the drugs and think they’re candy, so encourage guests to place their medications in childproof bottles or containers.

Staying safe during the holidays involves diligence and keeping an eye out for potential dangers.

Letter To The Editor Dear Hanover friends and neighbors, would like to thank all who came out to vote on November 7th for putting your trust in me to carry Hanover Township forward for the next three years. Low taxes, great services and quality schools are some of the reasons Hanover is a desirable place to live. I will work hard to improve upon these foundational strengths while also focusing on the issues that may impact our quality of life.

Congratulations to Mike Mihalko. He will clearly be a great addition to the committee and I know we will work well together on the important issues facing Hanover. Congratulations also to David Rubin and Richard Dunne for their

I

hard-fought campaign. I look forward to engaging with both David and Rich in the coming months and years.

Thank you to Committeemen Coppola and Brueno for their years of service and contributions to Hanover. I am confident they will stay involved in the community and will be there to offer input and guidance whenever it is needed.

Finally, thank you to my family and all the close friends who supported me throughout the primary and general election campaign seasons. I could not have succeeded without you!

Yours in better service, Brian Cahill Committeeman Elect Hanover Township

Fireplace Safety Tips For This Holiday Season And Beyond

athering around the hearth this holiday season? While you may be taking time off from work and school to celebrate, don’t take a vacation from practicing basic safety guidelines. Stay safe with the following tips.

Safety Devices Before using your fireplace or lighting candles, check all of your home’s life-saving safety devices, including carbon monoxide detectors and smoke alarms for functionality, and to ensure batteries are still working. You should do this periodically, but especially around a time of year with additional fire risks.

Fireplaces A cozy, charming fire is the perfect place to gather during the holidays. Heatilator, a leader in fireplace safety and the number one fireplace brand used by homebuilders, offers these tips: • Many holiday items and materials are combustible, so place all gifts, trees, and holiday décor a safe distance from the fire-

place • Conduct annual maintenance on your fireplace, chimney and associated elements.

• Outfit your gas fireplace with a safety screens to prevent burns.

• Always monitor children and pets near a lit fireplace or one that was recently turned off. While safety screens are meant to protect against contact with hot glass, remember that the metal can also heat up, and your heating equipment -- fireplaces, stoves, inserts and their surrounding material -- will remain hot for some time after use.

• For more fireplace safety tips, information about safety screens -- including retrofit screens for your gas fireplace -- and help finding your local dealer for annual maintenance, visit Heatilator.com.

Candles Candles add warmth and splendor to holiday decor, but they come with certain risks. Place these burning beauties in safe locations away from fabrics, trees and oth-

(c) Steve Herder/Shutterstock and Heatilator

er flammable objects. Only burn candles in occupied rooms. If you have children or pets, candle warmers make for a safer alternative that can offer you peace of mind.

For a happy holiday, take these steps to prioritize safety. (StatePoint)

How To Find The Right Home Mortgage So You Don’t Overpay

A

mple bedrooms and bathrooms?

Check. A roomy kitchen? Check. A nice-sized backyard, storage space in the attic and just the right amount of curb appeal?

Check, check and check.

Once you’ve found your perfect home, the next step is finding the right mortgage -- which can sometimes feel like you’re competing in a contact sport, being blindsided by confusing requests or financial surprises as you go through the application process.

According to the U.S. Census Bureau, 63.7 percent of Americans own their home.

But getting there wasn’t necessarily easy. A 2017 NerdWallet survey reports that 42 percent of homeowners felt the home-buying process was stressful, a third said it was complicated, and 21 percent found it intimidating.

To help make you a mortgage allstar, Ally Home has created “The Mortgage Playbook,” a free, easy-to-read resource. Authored by members of the Ally Home Team, a dedicated group of loan experts, the “Playbook” features four sections that cover the entire field -- from a getting-started game plan to approval and closing on a mortgage. It also breaks down confusing financial terms, helping applicants avoid pain during the home buying process.

To help you prepare for your mortgage game day, here are three top tips from the experts at Ally: • Maximize your financial fitness.

There are five steps consumers should take to improve their “financial fitness” before applying for a mortgage.

These include demonstrating stable employment, managing debt, paying down credit accounts, accumu-

E

me du ho tra ne tra rel ble tem Kw Lo

kee ita ho try as up in arr to lie inv Dis

(c) Monkey Business/stock.Adobe.com lating assets like savings or retirement accounts to boost credit histories, and reviewing (and correcting, if necessary) your credit reports.

• Know your numbers.

Borrowers can take advantage of free online tools, such as the Affordability Calculator available at Ally.com, to determine how much house they can afford. Using two pieces of data -- monthly income and monthly debt -- a borrower can quickly calculate

their debt-to-income ratio. In most instances, this ratio should not exceed 43 percent, meaning your monthly mortgage payment and other debt obligations (car loan, school loan, credit card payments) should not comprise more than 43 percent of your gross monthly income.

• Know what type of mortgage is best for you. One of the biggest decisions borrowers make is whether to get a fixed-rate or adjustable-rate

mortgage. When interest rates are low, a fixed-rate mortgage may be the better option.

But if interest rates are higher, an adjustable rate mortgage could make sense because its lower initial rate means lower monthly payments for a specific time period (usually five, seven or 10 years) before the rate could change.

For more valuable tips, visit ally. com/docs/bank/ally-home-playbook to download the complete “Mort-

gage Playbook.”

This free resource was created by Ally Home, whose mortgage products are offered by Ally Bank, Member FDIC, Equal Housing Lender.

Just like you wouldn’t hit the field without training and preparation, don’t head into the home buying process without the right knowledge. Leverage free resources that can help you be prepared.

Celebrating The Holidays As A Blended Family

E

motions run deep come the holiday season. Holiday planning can be hectic, especially for blended families.

Today’s families are increasingly blended, meaning they’re a combination of families due to divorce or death. Even though the holidays are meant to be joyous, navigating traditions and accommodating the unique needs of all involved — including cultural traditions, visitation schedules, rituals, and religious beliefs — can be challenging. But blended families need not fret as they attempt to negotiate Christmas, Chanukah, Kwanzaa, or New Years.

Logistics The first step to holiday planning is to keep in mind predetermined custody or visitation agreements. Although there can be hope for holiday flexibility and generosity, try to stick as close to existing arrangements as possible. Some families choose to divvy up particular holidays throughout the year in advance. Others may do it as plans get arranged. As long as the arrangement is fair to everyone, the choice is up to the families. The plans should be made known to all involved.

Discuss expectations

The Stepfamily Association of America says that communication during the holiday season is vital, especially for children so they know what to expect. Writing down specific itineraries can help alleviate the stress of not knowing where they will be at a given time.

All members of the family should vocalize how they feel about particular aspects of the holidays so that no one is disgruntled.

Do not expect others to be mind readers.

Perhaps one person is focusing a significant amount of energy on trimming the tree when that isn’t as important to others.

Discussing expectations can make planning that much easier.

Create new traditions The holidays without everyone under the same roof enjoying traditions that have been part of celebrations for years can contribute to feelings of anxiety for people accustomed to these annual traditions. Draw the focus away from how things used to be done and create new traditions that all can anticipate. Host a holiday movie night if this isn’t the year to have the kids for Christmas.

An annual outing to see a concert or show might be a new tradition the entire blended

Blended families may have additional factors to consider as the holidays arrive.

family can enjoy.

Don’t expect perfection Putting too much emphasis on trying to make the holidays perfect can backfire.

Blended families must recognize that holiday celebrations will change. It can take time to find a new celebratory rhythm, and comparisons always will be made. It’s acceptable to have mixed feelings about new traditions, but each member should go into the season with a positive attitude.

Blended families may face additional challenges during the holidays. Working together, such families can restore joy to the season and create new traditions.
