he Morris County Agriculture Development Board has permanently enrolled the 60-acre Aresty Farm, a working hay farm in Mendham and Chester townships, into the county’s farmland preservation program. The purchase of the development easement on this property for $2.2 million from the estate of David Aresty by the Morris County CADB restricts the land from non-agricultural uses and permanently preserves the farm. It is the 23rd farm preserved in Chester Township

Aresty Farm Permanently Preserved and the seventh in Mendham Township. The Aresty Farm, which currently is farmed by the owners of the preserved Backer farm in Mendham Township, is located on East Fox Chase Road in Mendham and Chester townships, according to Katherine Coyle, director of the Morris CADB. This is the fourth Morris County farm preservation closing over the past six months. The 74-acre Scheller Farm in Washington Township and the 13acre Tinc Farm in Mt. Olive were both permanently en-
rolled into agricultural use in June, while the 23-acre Konkus Farm in Chester Township joined the preservation roster in September. The easement purchase for the Aresty Farm was made in conjunction with a grant from the State Agriculture Development Committee, which provided 53 percent of the acquisition price, or $1.2 million to preserve the farm. The Morris County Open Space, Farmland, Floodplain Protection and Historic Preservation Trust Fund provided the remaining $1 million, at $36,000 per acre. In contrast to open space preservation, the agricultural landowner retains ownership of, and may even choose to sell, the preserved farmland. But the land retains a deed restriction ensuring that it cannot undergo non-farm development. Agricultural development of the farm is permit-
T
ted and the type of farming activity can change in the future. The Aresty Farm is located in the heart of the county’s agricultural region in Chester and Washington townships, which have 94 of the county’s 131 preserved farms within their borders.
Preservation of Aresty Farm brings the total area of preserved farmland in the county to 7,918 acres or the equivalent of 12 square miles. Morris County is in the midst of a flurry of farmland preservation closings, with 12 more farms, total-
ing 559 acres expected to be enrolled in the program in 2017. For detailed information on the county’s agricultural preservation program, visit: http://morriscountynj. gov/planning/divisions/prestrust/farmland/.
Hilltop Elementary To Kick Off New Year With Green Initiative
By Ainsley Layland he Green Initiative Committee at Hilltop Elementary School in Mendham has kicked off the new year with a new recycling program. In an effort to take the school’s recycling policy to the next level, Hilltop
has partnered with Terracycle, an upcycling and recycling company, to offer a location where students can recycle objects such as ink cartridges, packaging air pillows, and cereal liners. According to the Hilltop Elementary website, Terracycle collects diffi-
cult-to-recycle packaging and products and repurposes the material into affordable, innovative products. Items like dry cleaning bags, ice bags, and newspaper sleeves are often thrown in the trash because the average neighborhood recycling doesn’t accept
them. This new green initiative provides a location for Mendham families to bring those difficult-to-recycle items. “The Green Initiative Committee is part of the H.A.S. (Home School Association) that also works continued on page 2

Green Initiative... continued from front page with our middle school and high school,” said David Heller, principal at Hilltop Elementary. “They’re a committee made up of about three parents who focus on encouraging our students to be environmentally minded.” He said, “Another initiative we participate in are the Walk to School Days, we have one in the spring and one in the fall, where students and staff are encouraged to walk to school. The class with the most walkers wins extra recess – we want it to be an eco-friendly prize so we feel that getting more time outside is a good reward.” The students are playing an active role in educating the school on recycling and in raising awareness about the new initiative. “The fourth graders are key stake holders in this recycling initiative, especially when it comes to
R
the old school equipment. Each classroom has a box where students can recycle markers, plastic disposable tape dispensers, things like that,” Heller said. “The boxes were designed by one of our fourth graders and the students go around presenting to the same class once a month, talking about why we recycle and that same students comes each month so the class gets familiar with them.” The school has encouraged recycling in the past but this new initiative has an added focus. “This special initiative collects plastic bags, which you usually would have to take to a shopping center to recycle, but this one is through Trex. Once we donate a certain amount of bags Trex will donate a bench, made from reusable materials, to the school,” Heller said. “We want the students to see first-hand that you can make new
things out of old recycled things so these initiatives are encouraging the kids to think about that.” Trex is the world’s number one decking brand and the inventor of wood-alternative composite decking, according to www.trex. com. The decking material produced is made of 95 percent recycled materials. “My biggest thing is constantly emptying the boxes because after a week the boxes are already overflowing with things the kids have brought in to recycle,” Heller said. “I just want to thank our H.S.A. for inspiring our kids to be better global citizens. They donate so much in time and money but investing in our kids and their knowledge of recycling and eco-friendly practices is priceless.” For a complete list of recyclable items visit the new recycling initiative page on www.mendhamboro.org.

W
By Cheryl Conway ith winter holidays behind us and the new year already here, many may have noticed some extra kindness with more and more people giving to charities, hosting dinners, providing meals and reaching out to those struggling or needing some help to get by. These are the type of
stories that New View Media Group welcomes as good news and kindness tend to spread and creates a chain reaction that may encourage others to pitch in by donating some time, money or items that they do not need or use. New View Media Group, it’s that new view on news that tends to steer away from anything controversial and negative,

such as last year’s political debates and election. The recent election, as contentious as it was, remains uneasy for many who question the next leadership; and if the other candidate would have won, that same uneasiness would have still been present. As readers look back at 2016, and then forward to what lies ahead, we must not forget the importance of sticking to core values, good ethics and morals, and proper etiquette which can range from being kind
K
to others; having respect for all people; being honest and giving to those who may be struggling. Throughout the past year, the local community has been an outreach in so many ways to help others both near and far. Readers of the “Mendham News” were inundated with so many positive stories. In Mendham Township, a fundraising campaign began to restore the Ralston Playground; township firefighter volunteers covered the cost to provide hydrant
markers; township police grew hair to raise cancer awareness; West Morris Mendham High School joined in with West Morris Central To Host Relay For Life; West Morris Junior Women’s Club held derby outing to support local programs; cheerleaders won second place nationally; students at Mountain View School held a talent show to raise money for the BlinkNow Foundation to support children in Nepal; Brookside Ladies Auxiliary in Mendham Township sell
tapestry blankets to support fire department. The list of amazing stories that detail all of the wonderful actions prompted by the local community go on and on. For 2017, let’s continue to share in all of the good that surrounds us, big or small, near or far. Send your press releases and story ideas to me at editor@newviewmg.com. Hope happy holidays were had by all and may 2017 be bright, healthy and filled with all great things.

By Kerry Breen n Sat., April 29, the third annual ‘Layups4Life’ fundraising event, hosted by Dan Exeter, is set to be held at Roxbury High School. All of the proceeds from the event are donated to Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center (MSKCC). Exeter himself is a cancer survivor. In 2013 he was diagnosed with acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL), along with a genetic mutation called a Philadelphia chromosome. This second factor made it a more complicated and rare type of cancer. “ALL is typically found in young children,” said Exeter, in a phone interview. “To find it in a 27-year-old doesn’t happen too frequently. I needed heavy, intensive chemo and full body radiation.” Exeter needed a T-cell transfusion to give him the best chance of beating the cancer. First he was checked to see if he was a match with any siblings - he has one brother, and there was only a 25 percent chance he was a match. Luckily, he wound up being a match, meaning that Exeter did not need to
Annual Basketball Tournament Assists In Cancer Research go on a donor list. “It was certainly a tough road, between chemo and full body radiation,” explained Exeter. “I said to myself - ‘If I beat this thing, if I make my way out of it, I want to do something in the fight against this disease’.” His passion for basketball - Exeter has played the sport since the age of ten, on high school teams, recreational teams, and travel teams, as well as playing in various leagues and tournaments, and described himself as ‘a big basketball junkie’ - was what made him decide to create a tournament and donate the proceeds to MSKCC. “Running a tournament seemed very easy for me to do,” he explained. “It was something I was comfortable with. People come to get a workout, to support someone currently fighting; I knew I wanted to do something sports-related so basketball would be the way to go for me.” He reached out to Roxbury High School both because of his status as alum and the knowledge that he had contacts within their athletic programs. One of his friends, Stu Mason, was
a member of the facility; after meetings with Mason and other staff members from the school, as well as dedicated team members from MSKCC who focus on events like these, the events came together. The first tournament was in 2015 and raised ten thousand dollars in a single event. In 2016 he and his fiancée, Dana, ran the event again, raising between seventeen and eighteen thousand dollars. The two tournaments combined raised nearly thirty thousand dollars, and Exeter expects that this year’s event will raise another record-breaking amount. Those donations actually amounted to enough funds to help complete the research of doctor Bart Getta, a fellow on a bone marrow transplant team at MSKCC. Getta’s work focuses on leukemia cells that can linger after a patient receives a stem cell transplant. They noticed a problem where a number of patients with acute leukemia who are in complete remission at the time of the transplant end up relapsing at some point afterwards. Getta and colleagues
created a plan that used two approaches. The first involved next-generation sequencing, which is a technique used to detect very small amounts of mutations that are specific for the type of leukemia the patient has. The second approach was called multi-parameter flow cytometry, which is a technique that looks at markers on the surface of cells and can also detect very small percentages of abnormal cells in an otherwise normal appearing marrow. Bone marrow samples were examined in 122 patients, before and after undergoing an allogeneic stem cell transplant. The results showed that patients who had evidence of leukemia by either of the above tests before transplant were more
likely to relapse after transplant, compared to those who were negative for both tests. When comparing the two tests, the flow cytometry test was the most useful, as the DNA test only detected certain mutations. The next step of the research is to expand the set of mutations the test can detect to increase its utility. These results will have important implications on how patients with acute leukemia who undergo transplants are treated, and will hopefully lead to the new ways to reduce the risk of relapse later. This is just one project that has been assisted by the donations of the Layups4Life events. The above research was given ten thousand dollars in funding from the event. In total, Exeter
donates the funds to three different departments. “There are so many worthy causes, but for my personal battle, I wanted to give to the places that related to what I went through,” explained Exeter. The donations were given to research on pediatric cancer, leukemia, and bone marrow research. “[Getta’s research] was something that gave me goosebumps.” This year’s event is set for Sat., April 29, at the Roxbury High School. It will be a series of three on three basketball tournaments; those of all skills levels, ages, and interests can register to play. Registration is open online at www.layups4life.org; those interested can also donate directly through the site.

Paver Sales Support School’s Outdoor Learning Center
T
By Kerry Breen he Mountain View School in Mendham will be selling mason paving stones as a part of its “Paver Project” until March 20 to support the school’s Outdoor Learning Center (OLC). The “Paver Project” was created as a form of support for the OLC. The project allows families and community members to purchase mason stones that they can engrave with their choice of a message. These memories include things like first and last names, a child’s graduation date or year, a business name, or a quote. Those stones are then laid in the center walkway of

The pavers are all the same colors but come in three sizes four by eight inches, eight by eight inches, and 12 by 12 inches. “We try to meet everyone’s needs for inspirational messages to their children, or promoting a business,” said Barry Shinske, who assists in selling the pavers. “I volunteered to assist in selling these pavers because my son is very involved with the OLC. As adults we are all busy with our lives and careers, but I felt it was important to be involved.” The OLC is a schoolbased educational and community program, creat-

The OLC also contains native plant species that grow locally, therefore promoting habitats for many local animal species that thrive together. In total, the OLC consists of a Shakespeare garden, herb beds, student-designed and student-maintained vegetable beds, and professionally-designed planting areas that bloom with colors throughout the year.

a-bed program and an updated OLC map/plant identification list. In the school, the OLC has been used for various curricula, including various art projects, science classes, and inspiration for Language Arts classes. Located between the two wings of the building and behind the library, the OLC also has a large patio area adjacent to it that has enough bench seating area for an entire class, in addition to picnic tables and open grassy areas for student learning. Originally a barren and unused courtyard, it was turned into a beautiful, serene area, with the help of community effort and volunteers. By purchasing the paving stones, people are supporting the ongoing
upkeep of the OLC. According to Shinske, things that are needed to keep the center running are the purchases of soil, fertilizer, tools, hoses, and annual plants and herbs. All proceeds from the sale go to the OLC. People can also donate to the OLC without purchasing paving stones. To do so, it is recommended that those interested reach out to Brianna Kehoe or Marisa Dodge, teacher advisors. “I don’t believe there is an easier or better way to support our school, our children, and our community,” said Shinske. “Almost all of the harvest goes directly to area food banks. This past year, the OLC club donated 174
pounds of produce to the Interfaith Food Pantry in Morris Plains. This is our largest donation of fresh produce in the school’s history! Each year, the OLC club members also prepare a harvest meal from the garden’s vegetables and herbs. This September, we had an excellent salsa party to celebrate all of our hard work!” Those looking to purchase paving stones can do so easily, via simple form with easy instructions made available. The easiest way to have access to this is to e-mail Shinske at brooklynboy@verizon.net. This year the paver sale has a deadline of March 31 to guarantee placement before the end of the school year.

The Value In Dental Implants
s consumers, we want to be sure that when we spend our hard-earned dollar on something, we are getting value. The dictionary defines “value” with words such as importance, worth, or usefulness. Dental implants truly provide a valuable service and function. The versatility of dental implants can provide value in many ways: they can replace missing teeth without damaging others like bridges and dentures, they can create gorgeous smile makeovers, they can stabilize dentures or even eliminate them, and we’ve seen time and time again how they can turn people’s lives around. The other week we per-
formed another All-OnFour® dental implant procedure. This patient had been suffering from multiple dental infections, pain, and a poor smile for years. She had been talking about a smile makeover for three years with me, and she finally moved forward with treatment. In one appointment we were able to clear her of infections, place four implants, and connect teeth to them. She left the office a few hours later with a new lease on life in the form of a brand new smile! “Value” was created for her: the smile and teeth were important, worthwhile, and useful. She was able to eat without pain. Friends and family commented on her beautiful smile. The same
stories hold true whether a person requires a single tooth, denture stabilization, or replacement of multiple teeth. One important factor to consider is who should take care of your implant needs. Value is absolutely created in this arena, too. Dental implants are NOT a specialty, and can be placed by any dentist, regardless of their training. The most common scenario is to have an oral surgeon or periodontist place the implants and the general dentist place the teeth on top of the implants. However, a big complaint I hear from patients is that they don’t like this arrangement: they want one dentist to take care of both. I have been placing and restoring
implants myself for over 20 years. Rarely do patients have to jump from one office to another: its all done in one location. Patients find it valuable to their personal time and peace of mind that everything is taken care of in one location. In order to help determine YOUR level of value in dental implants, here are some questions or topics you should consider asking your dentist and / or surgeon: • How long have you been placing / restoring implants? • What kind of training have you undergone? What implant organizations are you involved with? • If more than one office is involved, how in-sync
are the two offices? How long have they been working together? • Can you please show me other cases you have completed that are similar to mine? • Who will I see for maintenance and follow-up care: the dentist who placed the implants or the dentist who restored the implants? Do I have to see both? Will there be multiple charges for the maintenance visits? • What are my other options for treatment? The office of Dr. Goldberg offers free consultations. If you’d like to speak with Dr. Goldberg personally and determine the best course of action for your specific situation, please give the office a call.

Donation Opens New Thrift Store To Regenerate Women’s Shelter
T
By Cheryl Conway he new year is looking bright for a battered women’s shelter organization thanks to a significant donation from a Livingston business person who responded to an SOS call. This donor, and his wife, who wish to remain anonymous recently allocated $35,000 to Strengthen Our Sisters (SOS), a grassroots, community based non-profit, program serving homeless/battered women and children for more than four decades. The funds went toward the shelter’s utility fees and to open a thrift store in Passaic. With restricted monies coming in, the organization has been in jeopardy of clos-
ing its doors to hundreds of women and children. While constant funding is needed to keep the non-profit running, the most recent donation has allowed SOS to sustain its operations for now and to cover the first three months’ rent of a new thrift store, Treasures Two, expected to open March 1 on Chestnut Street and Main Street, near Popeyes, in Passaic. “We’re struggling,” says Sandra Ramos of Ringwood, founder and executive director of SOS. “We are not in to money; we don’t get paid. I haven’t been paid in four years. We don’t give the money to ourselves. We give money to serve the people. We do it out of love. We want

to make the world a better place.” Established in 1977 as Shelter Our Sisters – Ramos began the first shelter for battered women in North America out of her three bedroom home in Hackensack. The organization changed its name to Strengthen Our Sisters and grew as big as eight houses, two day care centers, a food pantry and a thrift store. “Our shelter is the largest,” says Ramos, currently providing 155 beds to persons needing shelter. “We have 177 beds available. We take people that we don’t get reimbursed from welfare.” The mission of SOS is to break the cycle of domestic violence, poverty and abuse
by restoring balance and harmony through individual empowerment. To support her organization, Ramos receives some money from the Passaic County Dept. of Human Services, private dona-
tions, counties and social services. Ramos currently has 17 non-paid volunteers who drive shelter residents to look for jobs and attend court, doctor appointments, social services, schools; they fix things, watch chil-
dren. “We have people working who have no pay, no insurance,” says Ramos, who had to reduce her non-paid staff and is currently down to seven shelter houses locontinued on next page

New Thrift Store... cont. from previous page cated in Newfoundland, Wanaque and West Milford. A teacher of social issues and dynamics of domestic violence at Ramapo College, Ramos has been reaching out to the community for monetary support to keep her organization afloat. One man from Livingston read about her cry in the local “Livingston News,” and decided to take a closer look. “I’ve been thinking about a worthwhile organization to support,” he says. Rather than giving his money away to “get thrown in a big pot and you don’t know where it goes,” he chose SOS. “They are out of sight, out of mind.” Despite its financial woes, “they continue to supply services with their
extreme limited amount of money.” He “thought it was a floundering, worthwhile organization. I called to get name of attorney to find out if they are a legitimate organization; then traveled to visit her” to see the shelters, day care centers, thrift store and food pantry. He met “a bunch of people,” young and old, and talked to them “hearing how they struggled and got strengthened getting back into society and back into their lives. “What a youthful, helpful organization it is; thought it was worthwhile to support,” he says. “It just kind of reinforced there’s a need for this; reinforced there are many people in need of support in places to live, for food. They’ve gone
through tremendous financial strains.” The donor also supports the organization’s purpose: to help women “to reestablish a life after gone through a poor circumstance, such as battered women, mentally, physically.” While he says “I’m not a zillionaire,” he says he did have some success in his profession which has now allowed him and his wife to give back. “I’ve spoken to Sandra a half a dozen times,” he says, to learn “what their needs are. They say they get a lot of donations. They need the store but they need an ongoing business to regenerate the business to self-sustain, to pay the people working there. They have to generate a good chunk of reve-

nue plus some revenue to pay some people to run the store.” Of the funds he allocated, $10,000 went to pay shut off utility fees for gas and electric at the shelter’s seven houses; and $20,000 as a reverse matching fund to cover the first three months’ rent at the new thrift store, explains Ramos. “We are supposed to match it,” says Ramos. “We have constant needs. We need refrigerators,” gasoline, insurance. Treasures Two is set to open March 1. The brand

The store will be open six days a week from 10 a.m. to 7 p.m. The organization’s oth-

Westmont Montessori School Receives Golden Acorn Award
reschool Advantage presented its Golden Acorn Award for exemplary quality in preschool education to The Westmont Montessori School in Mendham. The award was presented to Colette Cross, head of School. Preschool Advantage congratulates Colette and her staff on providing exceptional early education. In 2013, Preschool Advantage was looking to add the Mendham area to the communities it serves and was very pleased to find The Westmont Montessori School. The Preschool Advantage School Committee visited Westmont and was very impressed with the quality preschool education at the school.
Preschool Advantage approves partner schools based on five points of quality in preschool education: teacher and child interaction, curriculum, family involvement, staff qualifications and professional development, and management of the school. In 2016, the Committee defined the five points of quality with the Golden Acorn Award. The Preschool Advantage School Committee is comprised of numerous current and former preschool directors and teachers who care deeply about early childhood education. The partnership between Preschool Advantage and The Westmont Montessori School provides access to a high qual-
ity preschool education for families who could not otherwise afford preschool for their children. “While there are federally funded programs to cover the cost of preschool for families living below the poverty line, working families making over that level have limited options” said Molly Dunn, executive director for Preschool Advantage. “There are thousands of families in New Jersey who cannot access a quality education for their child. We are committed to addressing this need one child at a time.” Families demonstrating commitment to education and financial need can complete the application for the 2017/2018 school year found at www.
preschooladvantage.org. Preschool Advantage is a non-profit organization with the vision that all chil-
dren should have access to high quality early education. Preschool Advantage partners with 18 schools in
13 local towns to fund preschool for children whose families cannot afford it.

Thomas Edison’s Revolutionary Audio Toy Started Home Phonograph And Recorded Music Industry
By Michele Guttenberger he home music entertainment industry got its start from a handheld revolutionary toy targeted for girls - the talking doll. Thomas Edison in 1877 patented his first phonograph recorder. He envisioned his invention as time saving business equipment for letter dictation. However, a novel idea emerged of using this same technology in a miniature version to be housed inside a doll. Unknowingly, the talking doll would become the first home phonograph player when it was released to the public in 1890. Each doll housed an internal phonograph seven inches tall, with a wax cylinder measur-
ing three inches in diameter containing a six second prerecorded nursery rhyme. Edison was enthusiastic in finding a new use for his invention and thought his talking doll would bring him huge success. In the April 26, 1890 issue of “Scientific America,” he boasted that he would be manufacturing 500 dolls per day and had a doll factory staffed with 100 employees in his New Jersey factory. The men assembled the talking devices and the factory women were assigned to dressing the dolls. The doll had a dainty imported Simon and Halbig bisque face, but the rest of doll’s body looked like a sci-fi transformer figure because of its metal torso and
wooden segmented limbs. It was no wonder that Edison would later refer to this doll as a “little monster.” After several plays, the doll’s recording was scratchy and even sounded spooky. The doll’s voice crank located in the back of the doll did not have a spring mechanism. A child was expected to steadily turn the crank at an even speed for the doll to audibly recite its rhyme. The price tag may have been more horrific than its horrid voice. The basic price for a simply clothed doll was $10. However, to buy the doll complete with its 1890’s high fashion outfit the price jumped to $25. This was the equivalent of two weeks’ salary for the average person.
Edison success in the doll making business would be short lived. The customer returns on these dolls were massive. One toy retailer returned 188 dolls out of their 200-doll order. The dolls could not hold up to a child’s hard use. To recover some of these losses, they removed the voice device and drastically marked down the price to that of an ordinary doll. The 1890’s factory doll business would be noted in history as one of Edison’s marketing failures. However, it proved to Edison that the average household was willing to spend extra money for recorded home entertainment. And that brought the launch of a new nationwide industry of recording
artists, record sales and phonograph players all initially headquartered at Edison’s West Orange location. Today one can still visit the doll, an early American factory, and the evolution of phonograph players at the place of the original music
recording studio. Visit Thomas Edison National Historical Park in West Orange. It is open Wed.-Sun., 10 a.m. – 4 p.m. For more details, go to www.nps.gov/edis or call 973-736-0550 x11.

United Way And Author Team Up To Donate Books To Preschoolers
hildren’s book author Nila J. Webster believes that everyone has a gift within him or her that can be shared with others. Webster’s gift was to donate 2,300 copies of her picture book, “The Gift of You, The Gift of Me” to United Way of Northern New Jersey to share with preschoolers across the region, this holiday season. The book of hope and
M
courage tells the tale of a cat and his friendship with the trees at the end of his lane. The book was written in English but also includes translations in Arabic, Chinese, French and Spanish. United Way is distributing the books to preschools across five counties in NJ. The preschools receiving the books are all involved with the United Way Success By 6 initiative, which
works to improve access to high-quality early education for all families in the region. Webster, who lives in Massachusetts, has donated thousands of her books to schools and United Ways in various states. Battling lung cancer for six years, she wants children to enjoy reading, and hopes her gift “inspires others to think about community giving.” Throughout the time Web-
ster has fought the resurgence of her cancer, she said she donated more than 200,000 of her books to children in Hong Kong, France, Argentina and Spain as well as to United Ways in New Mexico and Missouri. She also continues to write new books for elementary and middle school students. Webster reached out to United Way Success By 6 in northern NJ in early No-
vember with her donation offer. United Way jumped at the offer because the initiative supports early literacy efforts in order to promote kindergarten readiness. “Young children learn to enjoy reading when they read with their parents,” said United Way Success By 6 Manager JoAnn Quattro. “For so many children to be able to bring this uplifting story home with them
is a very special gift. We are grateful to Ms. Webster for promoting early literacy with a positive message.” United Way of Northern New Jersey is a nonprofit organization working to improve people’s lives and strengthen communities by focusing on education, income and health.
