Livingston 11 Year Old Cooks Her Way To Champion On Food Network Show

By Cheryl Conway magine being given a mystery basket filled with ingredients and being challenged to create a recipe from scratch that wows the palate. That is exactly what 11 year old Amanda DeFuria of Livingston did when she competed on the Food Network’s “Chopped Junior” Show recently aired on Tues., May 31. A sixth grader at the Unity Charter School in Morristown, DeFuria not only competed against three other young chefs from around the country, but she won $10,000 and a “Chopped Junior” chef jacket. Selected out of 5,000 applicants, DeFuria was ecstatic that she was chosen, but that didn’t compare to when she was named champion during episode six titled Pasta Love. “I won the show,” describes DeFuria during a telephone interview with New View Media Group. Although she competed for the episode in February, the young star was not allowed to divulge the outcome until the show was aired for the public on the last day of May. “I was shocked; I was so happy. I was ‘Oh my gosh, I can’t believe I won Chopped Junior!’ It was amazing!” FREE

As a regular fan of the show for two years, DeFuria had tuned in early Dec. 2015 to watch a “Chopped Junior” episode when she saw a casting call application for contestants under the age of 15. She told her mom “I have to do this.” Selected out of thousands of other applicants from around the country, DeFuria says “I did an interview and they liked my personality and cooking demonstration.” She had a few interviews over Skype with a few casting agents. She found out right before Christmas time that they wanted her to be on the show. For three days during the second week in February, DeFuria filmed the show on the set in New York, competing against three other contestants: Ally, 11 from Long Island, NY; Luke, 12, from Georgia and Hensley, 11, from Queens. A three-round competition, each contestant had to create an appetizer, entrée and dessert. They were given a mystery box filled with four ingredients and were allotted 30 minutes per round to cook something using the ingredients. “They give you random ingredients in a mysterious basket and you have to think of something really quick to cook,” she says.

and put it over the pasta and the tuna,” DeFuria describes. The entrée consisted of scallops in the shell, sweet wine, papaya and broccoli, and for dessert, DeFuria created buttermilk icecream out of buttermilk cookie cups with cookie crumble on top. The “Chopped Junior” champion decided on her own that she wants to donate some of her winnings to charity including St. Jude’s charity for cancer research, Feed continued on page 2

was on the set to critique the young chefs’ performance and creations. The judges included Iron Chef Alex Guarnaschelli, Comedy Actress Christine Taylor and Food Network Star Eddie Jackson. For the appetizer, she had to create a dish with heart shaped pasta, peas and carrot candy, Italian tuna and oil and rainbow chard. “I made a sauté out of tuna; I melted down candy and made a cream sauce, that went on top of the pasta; sautéed the chard

continued from previous page America and No Child Hungry. The rest will go into her savings and her U-tube channel, she says. Cooking since she was three years old, DeFuria says “I learned how to cook from watching my great-grandma and grandma cook.” She also learned a lot from watching cooking shows and Food Network for techniques. “I like cooking because I feel you can express yourself and be creative,” says DeFuria. “It’s a way to feel happy. I really love cooking and I want to own a restaurant one day.” She specializes in Italian cooking because, “I’m Italian,” she says, adding that she also likes to bake. “I cooked Easter dinner and Thanksgiving dinner and I cook for my family every night,” she says. During the holidays, DeFuria is cooking for up to

30 people, and nightly for her family which consists of her mom, dad and two younger brothers. She has her radar on being a singer and actress too. DeFuria has been acting for three years and taking acting lessons with classes in NY and sings for her school, events and charity events. A year ago, she started her own U-tube channel at Comedy & Cover kids where she sings, writes and performs skits and parodies. Two weeks ago she filmed a Yahoo Search Engine commercial in NY and has appeared in several other commercials and promos. In April, she was on the set of Sesame Street for an episode that comes out in Jan. “I’m really grateful for all of these opportunities that I’ve had,” says DeFuria. “I’m really grateful for God for that.”

DeFuria’s mom, Cindy DeFuria, who was on the set the day of the “Chopped Junior” episode, is so proud of her daughter, especially after overcoming some adversity at her former school. “She was a victim of bullying” this school year in 2015, and in 2013 when she was in fourth grade at a private school, Cindy says. “We had to switch schools. We totally put our trust in God and prayed something would change.” Cindy says of her daughter, “She always stays positive. She puts herself into the acting and the drama and it helped with the bullying; it helped her come into who she is.” In regards to her winning “Chopped Junior,” her mom says “I’m totally floored by her! I knew she cooked very well. I was so nervous. They had us in another room. I could not believe she did it so calmly. I was amazed; of course I cried when she won.” Having her in the kitchen has been wonderful, Cindy admits during the telephone interview. That night her daughter had

made tacos with homemade tortillas and chicken. “Sometimes it’s just vegetables. Her seasoning is spot on. “My mom is an excellent cook,” says Cindy. “She [Amanda] was so interested; she would watch; she would help; she would buy cookbooks; then she’d watch the Food Network. She has that natural – when you see it- she’s got that natural ability.” Besides commending her daughter’s cooking ability, Cindy applauds her daughter’s will to want to donate some of her winnings to charity. “Whenever she gets money, her first thought is ‘I’m going to give to charity.’ When she gets, she wants to give all on her own. It’s amazing; it’s nice to see.” Her daughter is also one not to brag or boast. “She’s humble no matter what she does,” adds Cindy. “She says ‘thank you’ and goes back to being herself.” To view DeFuria’s episode, go to foodnetwork.com, Chopped Junior, Pasta Love, episode six, season two.

Bike Livingston Rolls Into Town With Another Successful Bone Marrow Drive

By Brianna Kudisch n Sat., June 4, Bike Livingston was held in the town of Livingston, marking the fourth annual event. The event was free and 240 people registered to participate in it. Organized by Helen Flores, executive director of the West Essex YMCA, the Bike Livingston has a two-fold purpose: to encourage a healthy lifestyle and to raise awareness about blood diseases that require bone marrow transplants. With Livingston’s bi-centennial four years ago, the event organizers were interested in creating an event that encouraged more people to ride their bikes, without fear of being injured. Additionally, Flores’ grandson, John Faro Vitale, was diagnosed around Thanksgiving of last year with Fanconi Amenia, a rare, incurable blood disease that requires a blood marrow transplant. When joined together, both aspects helped create what Bike Livingston is today. The organizers made it more festival-like by having a face painter, a bounce house, a barbeque and other family-friendly activities. Even performer Hunter Hays was there, a local musician who often plays at Livingston Bagel, another one of

Bike Livingston’s sponsors. Sponsors, including St. Barnabas, the West Essex YMCA, Regal Bank, Eastman Managing Company, and others, helped cover the cost of such items like t-shirts, food and bounce house, so Bike Livingston could remain a free event for families. The event started at 9 a.m. with a safety talk, and then families and individuals chose the bike route they wanted to take. There was a four-mile route, seven-mile route and one as far as eleven-miles. Children could choose the four-mile route, and if they got tired, a refreshment stop along the way provided a point where they could stop and turn around to go back. After the bike races, people could join together to enjoy the family atmosphere including various children activities and the barbeque lunch. It was also the time for the bone marrow drive in which people could donate, either their blood marrow or money. Planning Bike Livingston went as far back as Feb. and March. When asked if any changes needed to be made, Flores remarked, “Now we have [the planning of Bike Livingston] down pretty good.” Flores hoped the event would help people create a healthier lifestyle, while also increasing the number of

blood marrow donors. Awareness is also an important factor in the blood marrow drive, as the more people know about it, the more people can help. “It’s not only important for my grandson, but it’s important for all those kids that have a kind of blood disease or cancer that they can’t fight off alone,” said Flores. The organizers appreciate everyone who came out and supported the event, whether it was through biking the course, participating in the blood marrow drive, or simply encouraging their family and friends to have a healthier lifestyle. Combining biking, blood disease awareness, and festival-like activities made Bike Livingston not only a great event for everyone who came out, but also for those who will reap the positive effects of the event, through the generosity of people. “All in all, it was a wonderful day,” said Flores.

West Orange Father Co-Authors Inspirational Sports’ Book With Two Sons

By Cheryl Conway et inspired this Father’s Day with a book written by a West Orange father and his two sons that give readers an inside look into the struggles faced by star athletes, their will to overcome and achieve. Recently released on May 3, “Rising Above,” is a compilation of true stories of ten athletes in various sports and one coach who encountered overwhelming challenges in their youth but still prevailed. Gregory Zuckerman and his two sons - Elijah, 14, and Gabriel, 17 - spent the past 18 months researching and conducting interviews to complete the anthology best suited for young readers. Published by Penguin Random House in New York, “Rising Above” is available in hard cover and e-book in most bookstores and online. It is recommended for readers ages eight to 12, but is truly quite inspiring for sports fans no matter what age. “Our book gives some behind-the-scenes tales that are entertaining, moving and touching, but we think there are some real life les-

sons by players who overcome so much in their youth,” describes Gregory Zuckerman, a special writer at “The Wall Street Journal” for the past 19 years. Zuckerman says, “The book is about perseverance, grit and the ability to turn negative into positive; setback can be positive.” Through the book, “life lessons can be learned; a lot of young people need guidance, inspiration and motivation.” Gabriel, a junior at Ray Kushner Yeshiva High School in Livingston, says the book “teaches lessons that can be applicable to all walks of life and every type of challenge.” Eli, an eighth grader at Joseph Kushner Hebrew Academy in Livingston, adds, “it doesn’t matter what people think you are or what people portray you to be; just be who you are. Whatever your goals are, you can accomplish it.” It was Eli who came up with the book idea. “I love sports,” says Eli, who plays goalie on his West Orange Travel Soccer team and his school team; as well as third baseman for the WO Baseball team with plans to try out

for the school team next year. “I know about the athletes and how they overcame obstacles in their youth. “It’s very inspirational,” continues Eli. “I’ve researched the stories and the athletes and said ‘we could do a book on it.’ So we

did it.” While individual stories exist about the athletes and their struggles, “Rising Above” groups all of their troublesome pursuits into one book. continued on next page

continued from previous page “We wanted to group them together,” explains his dad. “You can learn a lot by grouping them together; there’s some themes.” One main theme in the book is the idea of “how many stars not only overcame setbacks but turned those disadvantages into advantages.” Like Jim Abbot’s one hand, “he made it into a strength” and became the best fielder in baseball history; or Team USA goalkeeper Tim Howard who used his hyper-focus tendency brought on from his Tourette syndrome to his advantage, allowing him to practice even longer making him that much stronger. “There’s a beautiful flip side,” explains Zuckerman. Another theme in the book is ‘perseverance and never giving up,” explains Gabriel, a defender on his high school and travel soccer teams. A good example is the story of Serge Ibaka who grew up in poverty, wartime violence, with a mother who died and a father who was arrested. He “didn’t even have basketball shoes; he persevered and learned to play better with better equipment.”

Other athletes in the book include basketball stars like Dwayne Wayde, Lebron James and Stephen Curry; and other athletes such as Althea Gibson and hockey coach Jacques Demers. With each chapter, the authors researched and interviewed the stars either on phone, in person or via email starting in Oct. 2014, speaking with players, agents and managers. Each includes a lesson, a summary of their challenges and how they overcame. The trio picked athletes from various sports and various obstacles whether physical, racism, emotional issues, physical and sexual abuse, illiterate and poverty. Eli and Gabriel used their expertise by identifying players with amazing stories; they researched past and present star athletes and “found remarkable and moving stories,” says Zuckerman, who did most of he writing. The boys also found contacts for their agents and then helped with the editing. All three did the reporting together when possible. The greatest obstacle was trying to track down the players packed with busy schedules and line up interviews.

Zuckerman is the best-selling author of two adult, non-fiction books, “The Frackers: The Outrageous Inside Story of the New Billionaire Wildcatters:” and “The Behind –theScenes Story of How John Paulson Defied Wall Street and Made Financial History.” He had pitched the idea of the book to his publisher who put him in contact with a publisher for young readers. Writing this third book with his sons is an experience he will always treasure, as he shares his profession as a journalist and author with his offspring serving as an inspiration and role model. “I have the two greatest co-authors in the world,” says Zuckerman. “It was great doing a project with them.” He also found that having two young people with him during the interviews encouraged the star athletes to divulge more details. “When you have young people with you, they tend to share more lessons in their life; stars were more likely to open up,” says Zuckerman. Even those who faced issues with abuse, “quite sensitive for them” were eager to share lessons for the next generation.

“It was cool to experience it,” says Gabriel, “to go through the writing process, take ideas and put it down as a finished product.” Gabriel enjoys history and serves as senior editor on his school newspaper. Eli, who enjoys English as a favorite subject in school and inspires to be a journalist one day, agrees: “I see my dad writing these books.” To be part of it, “it’s amazing, it’s better than ever.” Their friends are excited too, wanting to buy the book and asking for their autographs. With 2,500 copies already sold, the Zuckermans have had a few book signings at the Barnes & Noble in Livingston with more scheduled in the near future. They plan to appear on “Fox & Friends” on June 15 and are open to speak at schools. Since all the athletes in the book are male, except for one, the Zuckermans are already working on a similar book featuring famous female athletes with a publication goal of 2017.

Tips For Finding A Great Summer Rental

T

• Make a list of your lodging priorities. Popular lodging and vacation rental websites offer an array of options, so make a list of your lodging priorities so you can find the right fit without having to peruse hundreds of listings. If you want to save money by cooking your own meals, then a home with a full kitchen may be your biggest priority. If beach access tops your

list, then you can save time by searching for oceanfront homes or condos. If saving money is your biggest priority, then expand your search to properties further away from coastal areas or homes, but are within walking distance of local nightlife. What you sacrifice with regard to view and convenience you’ll recoup in cost continued on page 10

Caring for the People Who Take Care of Us

he growth of lodging websites such as Airbnb and VRBO has given travelers more temporary housing options than ever before. Such sites may appeal to those vacationers who want a taste of home away from home without having to pay potentially exorbitant hotel prices. The cost savings of vacation rentals can be considerable, providing more bang

for budget-conscious travelers’ bucks. But vacationers who have never strayed from the hotel/resort path may be hesitant to dip their toes into the vacation rental waters. While travelers accustomed to staying in luxury hotels may need to adjust their expectations when booking vacation rentals, the following are some ways to find a great vacation rental that suits you and your fellow vacationers.

continued from page 8 savings. • Don’t pull the trigger too quickly. Low prices may tempt prospective travelers, especially those accustomed to staying in expensive hotels, to book lodging before they full vet a property. Fight the temptation to book a rental before you have done your homework. Learn as much about the rental as you can before booking your stay. Read reviews of the property and carefully examine the property listing so you know exactly what you are getting. Carefully examine any photos included in the listing, and try to confirm that the property is not in foreclosure, which may pose problems when you’re ready to embark on your trip. Find out as much as you can about the property owner as well. Some are renter-friendly while others may have poor reputations. • Determine who handles any potential problems that arise during your stay. Unlike a hotel stay when you can simply call

the front desk and request a maintenance staffer be sent up to address any problems that arise in your room, you may be on your own in a vacation rental should the refrigerator go on the fritz or the air conditioning unit suddenly stop working. Determine how problems are handled before booking a rental. Rental homes that are part of a homeowners’ association may have on-site maintenance ready to respond to any issues, while homes offered by private homeowners may come with no such benefits. • Book early if you’re attending a specific event. Hotels book up quickly on busy weekends, and so do vacation rentals. Vacation rental prices fluctuate just like the cost of hotel rooms, so begin your search early if you are traveling to attend a festival or another event that figures to attract large crowds. Vacation rentals can save travelers money, but finding the right fit requires effort on the part of vacationers.

rilling season has arrived, and amateur grillmasters everywhere are gearing up for another summer of backyard barbecues and family dinners outside under the summer sun. But once you fire up that grill and cook your first hot dog of the season, your work is not quite done. Cleaning the grill after you have eaten makes it easier to prolong the life of your grill and ensure the foods you eat are safe to consume. • Turn the grill off. Unless you own a charcoal grill, chances are your grill has dials that govern how hot the grill gets when cooking. Make sure these dials are turned to the off position before you start cleaning. If your’s is a gas grill, disconnect the gas while wearing gloves to reduce your risk of accident or injury. • Use the residual heat to make cleaning easier. The sooner you start cleaning the grill after you cook, the easier it might be to make the cooking surfaces sparkle. That’s because the residual heat can make

it easier to remove any leftover buildup from barbecue sauce or seasoning that stuck to the grill after you removed your food. • Use a wire brush to clean the cooking grates. Wire brushes are ideal for cleaning cooking grates. Such brushes can quickly remove grease and food particles, saving grill owners the trouble of scrubbing away with traditional sponges. Once the wire brush’s work is done, you can then clean the grill with a soapy sponge. • Remove food that fell into the well. Food inevitably falls into the well of a grill no matter how skilled a grillmaster might be. If left to fester in the well, such foods can pose a safety risk and promote the growth of bacteria. • Clean the remaining areas of the grill. Marinade, sauce or condiments may find their way onto areas of your grill, and if left unattended, such substances can make a grill very dirty over time. Remove these substances after each barbecue to keep your grill looking new through the summer.

People Flock To Turtle Back Zoo For Open House of Records, according to Anthony Puglisi, Public Information director. But the zoo can accommodate a lot more people. Puglisi said, “Not many people know about what the county government does and how it affects their life. It’s informational and we try to make it fun.” Claudette Hampton, case manager and nurse at Essex County Special Child Health Services said, “We’re here to educate the public about community health and special child services. And [for the public to] know about various resources in Essex County.” Other Essex County tables exhibits included: Paper Mill Playhouse, Family Wrap, New Jersey’s Early Intervention System, Essex County Juvenile Detention Center, New Jersey Mental Health Cares, OACANP (The Oranges ACA Navigator Project), and Essex County Vocational Technical Schools. Attendees were able to enjoy the new giraffe exhibit which just opened up, as well as the recently opened bison exhibit with a new viewing area to get up close and look into. Puglisi said, “Before there was a split rail fence. You couldn’t get close to the animals.” The prairie dog exhibit will also be upgraded. Puglisi said, “We’re changing the way the public views so you get more of a clear picture; before it was a high glass wall.” A lion exhibit is also in the works. In addition to the new animal exhibits and developments, the café expanded to two stories, which triples the capacity

By Maryanne Christiano-Mistretta housands of people fled towards the gates of Turtle Back Zoo, West Orange, on Sat., June 4, for the 14th Annual Essex County Open House. There was live music, clowns, carnival games, treasure chests, giveaways, prize wheels and trivia tests, providing exciting entertainment for children as their parents gathered around more than 10 information tables that provided information about public awareness programs and services provided by Essex County. Directors and employees were on hand to answer questions. It was a great way for Essex County residents to meet the people who work for their county. The Open House included free admission to the zoo, which features: a mini-golf safari miniature golf course, sea lions, sting rays and sharks in a touch tank, a state-of-the-art reptile and education building, jaguars, snow leopards, Gibbon apes, wolves, otters, alligators, reptiles, and bears. There is also a beautiful gift shop. Essex County Executive Joseph DiVincenzo, Jr., said, “We’ve done this for fourteen years. We’re here to socialize and network for Essex County. And it’s an opportunity to see the zoo for free.” According to DiVincenzo, last year there were 16,000 people in attendance. He said, “We’re hoping to hit 20,000 today.” This event was formerly held at a small setting in the Hall

of what it was before. “It will help with crowds,” said Puglisi. “Improvements enhance the area for the public.” According to DiVincenzo, “NJ Monthly” magazine named Turtle Back Zoo the best zoo in New Jersey the last four years. And the zoo has always been awarded with a Certificate of Excellence in the last three years. For more information on Essex County, visit www.essexcountynj.com.

How To Tend To An Indoor Herb Garden

resh herbs and recently picked ingredients can add flavor to any meal. A home chef can even improve the flavor of store-bought or prepared foods with an herb garnish that can transform otherwise bland dishes into something you’ll want to eat again and again.

V M

Harvesting fresh herbs is easy for homeowners who have gardens right in their backyards. However, everyone does not have a backyard, and even those that do might find their gardens threatened by changing seasons or unwanted critters. When gardens are moved indoors, the bounty of fresh ingredients continues no

matter the date on the calendar. Herb gardens are perhaps some of the easiest gardens to cultivate indoors because they don’t require large pots or much space. The plants themselves are relatively compact, and it only takes a pinch of herbs to give a meal some extra flavor. When growing herbs indoors, your indoor growing area must have adequate light to simulate the longer days of summer; otherwise, the plants may go dormant. It’s ideal to have a southern exposure on the herbs, with at least eight hours of sunlight per day. If you do not live in a particularly sunny locale, consider supplementing the plants with grow lights, which will provide the full spectrum of light the plants need to thrive. Indoor air can become too dry for herbs, so you will need to compensate by providing humidity. While there may be added humidity in a kitchen greenhouse window, it still may not be enough to keep the plants healthy. Think about misting the plants daily to create some extra humidity, or place herb pots on top of a water-filled

tray with pebbles so the evaporating water will add moisture without making the roots soggy. Insects are another threat to indoor gardens because there is no cold weather to inhibit the hatching of insect eggs. Soil from outdoors may be more susceptible to insects that are already living in the dirt. Instead of soil from outside, use packaged soil or a nonsoil alternative that will hold moisture without the added risk of bugs. If small insects appear, use a mist of soapy water to kill the bugs without harming the plants or making the herbs unfit for eating. Group herbs together according to their watering needs to make maintenance that much easier. New sprouts generally need more water than established plants. Prune the herbs as needed for recipes. If the herbs experience a growth spurt, trim some of the plants and freeze the herbs for later use. Many indoor herb gardeners begin by growing parsley, chives, oregano, and basil, but you can experiment with just about any herb.

Looking For A Few Good Men

en have an identity issue. Hollywood often depicts men as self-centered couch potatoes who are always looking to party, act like adolescents and play video games, while shirking all of men’s responsibilities along the way. One example of this lack of respect for fatherhood may be best illustrated by a recent survey of holiday church attendance. At the bottom of the list with Independence Day was Father’s Day. As a matter of fact, most people no longer can even say when Father’s Day is! Why has this once welcomed day to honor fathers become little more than a footnote to church attendance or the evening news? Despite the fact many have fallen for that misrepresentation, there are many good men who are great dads. They have embraced the God-given role of fatherhood and are impacting their children by helping them to build and live successful lives. Conversely, the one common denominator of many of society’s ills—pornography, human trafficking, abortion, rape, murder, alcoholism, teen suicide, and incarceration—can be traced to absentee fathers. According to statistics, 63 percent of youth suicides are from fatherless homes (US Dept. Of Health/Census) –five times the average. 90 percent of all homeless and runaway children are

○○

OLIVER PEOPLES

from fatherless homes – 32 times the average. 85 percent of all children who show behavior disorders come from fatherless homes – 20 times the average. (Center for Disease Control). 80 percent of rapists with anger problems come from fatherless homes –14 times the average. (Justice & Behavior, Vol 14, p. 403-26). 71 percent of all high school dropouts come from fatherless homes – nine times the average. (National Principals Association Report). From these statistics, it is easy to see that men who have abdicated their roles as fathers is the single greatest problem in society today. Dads need to step up to assume their rightful roles as leaders of the family. Kids are looking at them, and studying them, to see if they are really going to protect them, lead them and love them. It is time to once again make it cool to honor those men who have stood up to be great dads, grand-dads or mentors. Enter the That’s My Dad Movement. This movement is designed to honor the man, not necessarily one’s dad, who most impacted one’s life. The movement, inspired by the new book “That’s My Dad!” just released by Broadstreet Publishing, asks people young and old to visit www.ThatsMyDadMovement.com and follow four simple instructions to honor that man and to encourage others to

follow suit. It’s time to breathe new life into a once proud holiday and take part. The truth everyone wants to, or at least yearn to, stand up and shout, “That’s my dad!”

6 Ideas For Rainy Summer Days

ummer vacation means spending time outdoors and enjoying sunny skies. But not every day will be sunny and clear. For those banking on spending long summer days outside, rainy days can put a quick damper on those plans. However, poor weather doesn’t have to diminish all of the fun. The following are some go-to ideas that can keep summer vacationers happy even when the rain is falling. 1. Visit area museums. It’s probably been a while since you’ve looked at the sights in your hometown, and rainy summer days provide the perfect opportunity to take them in from a tourist’s perspective. If you are away from home when the rain starts to fall, inquire about any unique indoor activities the area has to offer. Hotel lobbies and concierge offices typically have lots of brochures advertising nearby activities. 2. Do a scavenger hunt. Make up clues and hide a prize to be discovered at the end of the hunt. Scavenger hunts can keep children or adults occupied until the rains subside. 3. Have an indoor campout. If weather

cancels your plans to camp out under the stars, pitch your tent indoors and camp under the ceiling. Tell scary stories and tinker with s’mores recipes to make your indoor camping seem more like the real thing. 4. Stock up on board games. Board games are the original boredom-busters. They’re portable, and they can quickly turn a rainy day into something much more tolerable. Up the ante and have winners from each game compete against one another in a game of a different type. 5. Head to the theater. Catch that summer action flick or curl up next to a sweetheart and watch the latest romantic comedy. Some movie theaters even offer discount tickets at certain times during the summer. 6. Don’t be afraid of the rain. Unless you’re a certain witch with a wicked streak, chances are you will not melt in the rain. Summer rain actually can be refreshing, so put on your rain jacket and enjoy a stroll or even find a way to have fun in the rain. It’s alright to get messy during a rainy day volleyball or football game. Just be sure to run inside the moment you see any lightning.

Help Protect The Environment By Recycling Used Tires

ssex County residents are encouraged to bring used and unwanted tires to the Essex County Used Tire Recycling Day on Sat., June 18, 9 a.m. to 2 p.m., at Essex County Public Works Department in Cedar Grove. “We are always looking for new and innovative ways to protect our environment and reduce our waste stream,” said Essex County Executive Joseph N. DiVincenzo, Jr. “Along with our Household Hazardous Waste Collection Day and Computer & Electronics Recycling Day, turning in old tires is another great way to remove hazardous materials from our waste stream and have them disposed properly and safely. Not only are old tires a nuisance, but they pose a serious health hazard. Rain water can collect in tires that are left outside. This can

become an ideal environment for mosquitoes to breed and creates a serious public health and quality of life problem.” During the Essex County Used Tire Recycling Day, rubber tires with or without metal rims will be accepted. Rims will not be returned to residents; they will be recycled. The collected tires will be delivered to a state-licensed transfer waste facility, which will recycle the tires into new uses. The Essex County Used Tire Recycling Day is for Essex County residents only. Residents are not charged when they bring materials, but they must provide proof of residency at the site. Commercial businesses may not drop off materials. For more information, call the Essex County Department of Public Works at 973-226-8500, ext. 2580.

Local Mom’s Group Celebrates 65th Anniversary

By Anastasia Marchese he Jack and Jill chapter of Northern New Jersey celebrated a milestone anniversary last month. The group is one of the oldest chapters in NJ and the oldest one in this part of the state. The group was privileged to come together with past and current members to commemorate such a rich history of community involvement. Previous presidents were honored for their contribution to the chapter’s ongoing legacy along with newly elected president, Monique Moore Pryor. The Jack and Jill of America organization dates its beginnings to a meeting of 20 mothers that was held in Philadelphia on Jan. 24, 1938 under the leadership of Marion Stubbs Thomas. She instituted the meeting to discuss the possibility of starting an organization “to provide social, cultural, and educational opportunities for youth between the ages of two and nineteen.” According the organization’s national website, there are now more than 230 chapters in the U.S., with more than 40,000 family members participating currently. “Each chapter plans annual programming activities guided under a national theme.” “The Power to Make a Difference” is the current “National Programmatic Thrust [that] focuses on initiatives that will equip our members and youth with the power to make a difference in our chapters, communities and in the lives of children around the country.” There is a structure to each chapter and the children are

broken up by age category for local as well as for chapter wide events. Group one is ages two through five; group two, first and second graders; group three, third and fourth grade; preteen group, fifth and sixth graders; junior teen, seventh and eighth; and senior teens, high school students in grades nine through 12. When a mother joins the group, her children automatically become part of the program and can take part in the programs designed for their age group. According to Erica Brown Oliver, the editor of North Jersey’s bimonthly newsletter, “The Spotlight,” the converse is also true, “Once your youngest child graduates from high school, you graduate out of the program.” Mothers whose children are no longer school aged then become Associate members, and are invited to take part in the chapter’s big events, such as the 65th Anniversary Tea that was held in May at the Essex County Country Club in West Orange. Associate members will also come together throughout the year to renew the bonds of friendship that grew during their time as members of the organization. There is a lot of planning and work that goes into making it the “Mighty” North Jersey Chapter. Working closely with other moms, members share the responsibility of planning a month’s activities for the group in which they have children. Brown Oliver and another mom were in charge of planning the activities for the group that her daughter is part of. “We took October and did a two hour fencing lesson with the

kids. It was a great thing to do as a group.” They also learned about the history of fencing and its historical and continued importance. In addition to monthly activities for the groups, the chapter also organizes chapter wide activities to which sister groups are often also invited. Back in April, the chapter organized its annual Skills Olympics, this year entitled “Power up with 21st Century Skills.” A variety of speakers came to educate and prepare the children and inform parents as well. Shell Williams, who is the Education Chair for the North Jersey Chapter, organized the event which included “Phenomenal speakers, facilitators, and workshops on technology, entrepreneurship, art, science and expressive communication.” In addition to educational programs for members and children, the Jack and Jill organization has a commitment to community service. Some groups visited the Montclair Inn in February and March to play board games with the seniors and built intergenerational relationships. The senior teens spent volunteer hours helping at Christine’s Soup Kitchen at Holy Trinity Church in March. Fundraisers and other community service projects are a cornerstone of the Jack and Jill mission. The North Jersey Chapter is grateful for its rich history as well as its continued opportunity to serve the community.

Local Blood Drives Offered

ew Jersey Blood Services plans to conduct local blood drives which are open to the public. The following drives are scheduled: Fri., June 17, Shoprite, Flanders, 1 p.m. to 7 p.m. Wed., June 22, St. Francis Health Resort, Denville, 1 p.m. to 7 p.m. Thurs., June 23, Moose Lodge 541, Dover, 1 p.m. to 7 p.m. Fri., June 24, Madison Area YMCA, Madison, 2 p.m. to 8 p.m. Mon., June 27, Knights of Columbus 3665, Netcong, 3 p.m. to 9 p.m. Thurs., June 30, Rockaway Townsquare Mall, Rockaway, 10 a.m. to 8 p.m. New Jersey Blood Services, a division of New York Blood Center (NYBC) is asking for help to maintain an adequate supply of all blood types, but especially O-negative – the “universal� blood which can be transfused into anyone in an emergency. In addition, hundreds of additional blood drives need to be scheduled to meet projected hospital demand. Current inventory of several blood types is running below the desired target

level. “It’s simple: hospital patient demand for blood often outpaces our best efforts to recruit donors and schedule blood drives,� said NYBC Executive Director of Donor Recruitment Andrea Cefarelli. “There are always reasons but we have to overcome that for the sake of hospital patients who need us.� “This is one of the toughest times of the year,� Cefarelli added. “We’re asking for our dedicated supporters to roll up their sleeves to make sure we’re able to provide our hospital partners with whatever they need to take care of their patients.� Blood products have a short shelf life – from five to 42 days, so constant replenishment is necessary. Each and every day there are patients who depend on the transfusion of red blood cells, platelets and plasma to stay alive. But blood and blood products can’t be manufactured. They can only come from volunteer blood donors who take an hour to attend a blood drive or visit a donor center. To donate blood or for information on how to organize a blood drive call 1-800933-2566; visit: www.nybloodcenter.org.

At the convention, the Juniors were recognized with top honors for its outstanding activities around advocacy for children, home life, communications, fundraising, conservation and leadership. Verona Fights Hunger Week was specifically recognized as one of the top community improvement programs spearheaded by a woman’s club in NJ.

Did You Know?

rilling presents a convenient and tasty way to prepare food. Cooking outdoors is a summertime staple, with some people firing up their grills multiple times a week. To ensure the grill continues to deliver top-notch fare, it is important to keep a clean grill. Cleaning can prolong the lifespan of a grill while also ensuring food is safe to eat. The grill grates should be brushed down after each

and every usage to dislodge any remnants. Remove the burner protectors on a gas grill and scrub them down to remove caked-on grease and other food deposits, wiping any grime from the burners as well. Keep an eye out on how much debris is in the bottom of the grill. Scrape and scoop out any ash and food that has fallen through the grates. Wash down and rinse off any grease.

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.

Edison Day Connected Cool Learning-Discovery Groups and the NPS Centennial Junior Ranger Program in Time for Summer

by Michele Guttenberger n Saturday June 4th the West Orange National Historical Park Site of Thomas Alva Edison celebrated Edison Day. It was a day of free admission and special programs for every age. The park had collaborated with West Orange partners to connect community places of continued discovery and learning under their big outdoor tent. There were learning exhibits from the American Chemistry Society (ACS) http://www.njacs.org/, HackNCraftNJ Makerspace http://www.hackncraftnj.org/ , around the world club radio chats from the Tri-County Radio Association www.tcara.org, Black Maria cinematic arts demo – (Nonprofit) Mono No Aware http://mononoawarefilm.com, and a courtyard electric car display from – New Jersey Electric Automobile Association https://njeaa.org/ A special recognition was given to the Junior Ranger program table. On August 25, 2016 the National Park Service is turning 100 years old. In 1916 when most of us Americans still traveled by horse and buggy, we found popular support to rally for the initiatives Republican President Theodore Roosevelt had started in preserving America’s amazing natural wonders and historic places. In 1916 there were 35 national parks and monuments. Today there are

Roofing

over 400 National Park sites all over the country, in places you might never expect like - the genuine factory lab buildings Thomas Edison used to conduct his innovative engineering and technology for new modern homes and businesses of the late 19th Century and beyond. Edison Day was an opportunity for kids to become a Centennial Junior Ranger with a commemorative 100th Anniversary Badge fittingly made from etched wood. New Jersey has 12 National Park sites. And many folks have started an American summer tradition to visit these NPS places and collect different park Junior Ranger patch and badges as family earned National souvenirs. You are never too old to be a Junior Ranger. There are dedicated websites for each Park to view their programs. The West Orange site is www.nps.gov/edis To obtain the Junior Ranger badge there is a set of Junior Ranger workbook activities for children from ages 5 and up to complete. After they successfully complete their list of activities they must take an oath that they promise to share their knowledge with others and enjoy and protect all National Parks. This recognition certificate is signed by a Park Ranger and presented to them along with their badge. Here is the link to download the Centennial Junior Ranger activity workbook to get a head start this summer.

Help Plants Survive Sizzling Summer Heat

strictions. • Lay down mulch. Mulch helps insulate and protect soil during summer, when soil can quickly dry out. When applied correctly (ideally before summer temperatures get too hot), mulch helps the soil conserve moisture and prevents weed growth. Weeds can rob soil of the water it needs to promote strong root systems, which can help plants get the nutrients they need to withstand summer heat. Mulched soils also do not experience the fluctuations in temperature that non-mulched soils can experience during summer heat waves, helping plants to grow evenly. • Move plants when possible. Plant location can affect their chances of surviving summer heat. Driveways lined with flowers or other plants may look nice, but driveways exposed to the sun can radiate heat at temperatures that exceed the temperatures noted on the thermometer. If possible, move plants to locations on your property that are less exposed to the heat and/or less likely to be affected by the heat. Move container plants beneath trees on hot days, and consider summer heat waves before planting new flower beds. Summer heat can be especially harmful to plant life. But homeowners can employ various strategies to protect the plant life on their properties when temperatures rise during the dog days of summer.

any people consider summer the most enjoyable time of year, as the summer sun and warm breezes make the season perfect for rest and relaxation. But the months of June, July and August, which are often characterized by rising temperatures and stifling humidity, can be tough to endure as well. When summer heat becomes especially uncomfortable, humans can simply head indoors and beat the heat in air conditioned buildings and homes. Plant life is not so lucky, and homeowners may need to take steps to help the plant life on their properties survive the summer heat. • Monitor soil moisture. Soil moisture, or a lack thereof, can help homeowners determine if their plants are struggling to survive the heat. To check soil moisture levels, use a ruler or even your finger, sticking either two inches into the ground where you suspect the soil is drying out. If the soil is damp two inches below the surface, then your plants are likely retaining enough moisture to withstand the heat. If the soil is dry two inches below, then you may want to give the soil a deep soak. • Keep an eye on container gardens. Containers may have an especially difficult time staying moist in the summer heat. That’s particularly true for containers that sit in direct sunlight. Water container gardens daily during summer heat waves, being sure to adhere to any local water re-
