Alliance Committee Reorganizes To Provide Alternatives For Local Youth

By Cheryl Conway committee that was â&#x20AC;&#x153;stalledâ&#x20AC;? for a while in Mt. Olive is back up and running in an effort to take a proactive approach to provide healthy opportunities for kids.

Established in 1990 by the Township Council as an ad-hoc advisory committee reporting to the mayor, the Mt. Olive Municipal Alliance Committee (MOMAC), has reorganized itself this past January. The purpose of the community based non-profit organization is to combat alcoholism, drug abuse and violence through prevention, intervention, education and alternative activities.

Mayor Rob Greenbaum has directed his assistant Lisa Brett to coordinate MOMAC and get it up and running again. The township is partnering with the Mt. Olive Police Department, with Captain Steve Beecher as the Police Department MOMAC liaison, as well as

10 volunteer recruits so far who live and work in the community.

The current committee consists of residents, parents, clergy, law enforcement, local political leaders, and even a high school student to work together and come up with ideas, â&#x20AC;&#x153;to get the word out,â&#x20AC;? says Brett, Special Projects coordinator for Mt. Olive. She says the group is currently working on a Facebook page. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We want to educate the community on all the things

we offer in Mt. Olive,â&#x20AC;? she says.

Some ideas already into play are the 5K run, drop box and Law Enforcement Against Drugs (LEAD) program in schools.

She says the goal is for young adults, middle school and high school students, to â&#x20AC;&#x153;choose other ways not resorting to drugs or alcohol.â&#x20AC;?

The first annual Pajama Fun Run was set to be held Sat., April 16, at 10 a.m., at Turkey Brook Park. Participants were to show up in

their pajamas for a 5K run, with pledges to support the Pajama Program, a nonprofit organization that provides new sleepwear and new books for children in need.

Another ongoing initiative by MOMAC is the Drop Box located at town hall.

Residents, senior citizens, and even those in surrounding towns are invited to drop off their medication no longer being used or expired, whether prescription or over continued on page 10

Veterinarian Major Runs To Support Animal Rescues Despite Arctic Blast

espite the frigid temperatures, a Budd Lake college student recently completed her first half marathon.

Jessica Leigh Nagy, a student at SUNY Canton pursuing a bachelor’s degree in Veterinary Technology, ran in the Syracuse Half Marathon held earlier this month.

“She has been running on her college's cross country team during her time with SUNY Canton,” says her mom Deborah Nagy, a teacher’s aid at Chester M. Stephens Elementary School. “Over the past months she had decided to register to run in the Syracuse Half Marathon,” which was held Sun., April 3, “not knowing ahead of time what she was in for.”

ditions. The wind chill was nine degrees, snowfall around six inches, 44 mph wind gusts, and zero visibility at times. These runners dealt with wind, blowing snow, sleet and hail. Jessica thankfully made it in without injury with a time of two hrs. 23 mins. I would have to say that each and every runner who completed this run is a Rock

From The Mayorâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Desk am very much looking forward to the grand opening of Pirate's Cove at Mount Playmore, Mount Oliveâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s exciting splash pad. Private's Cove will be located at Turkey Brook Park, one of Mount Oliveâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s jewels, and I expect construction to be complete by the July 4th weekend. Together with Mount Playmore, Mount Olive will have one of the finest facilities in the State of New Jersey for recreation for children pre-k through 8th grade.

The splash pad, which is part of a green acres facility, will be open to all who seek to use it, but we expect the primary users to be our residents and those from surrounding towns at no charge. We will develop policies with regard to usage as needed based on use.

We expect that building Pirates Cove will also bring families to enjoy Turkey Brook, shop in Mount Olive as well as dining at our eating establishments. This will assist in supporting our local businesses. I expect that the further improvement of Turkey Brook Park will add to home value and home sales appeal, demonstrating that

Mount Olive is a family friendly exciting place to live and work.

I have made sure that we will have adequate coverage for additional garbage collection, maintenance in the park as well as our dog park. I cannot wait to experience the laughter and enjoyment which Pirates Cove will bring to our children.

Pirate's Cove will operate on a timed system allowing for the remote control and adjustment of on and off hours. It will only be active so long as people are on it. Environmentally friendly as the water will be disinfected, filtered and reused. Pirate's Cove is approximately 3000 square feet. As with Mt. Playmore, Pirate's Cove will have one way in and one way out entrance/exit. We will also have a Lightening Detector System will also be installed that will automatically turn off and alarm in case of lightning.

As a final matter, we will also have many opportunities for sponsorship for families and businesses to order pickets that will be along the fence at Mount Playmore playgrounds and/or the new splash pad, Pirates

Cove at Mount Playmore! For more information regarding how to order the pickets please contact Mount Olive Recreation at 973-691-0900 ex 7263 or ex 7264.

I will continue to keep you updated with our progress as to Opening Day of Pirate's

Cove through newspapers and my face book pagehttps://www.facebook.com/pages/May or-Rob- Greenbaum/148566751876210? ref=hl.

Mt. Olive Features A Rock ‘n Roll Superintendent

By Jane Primerano any people probably remember their school superintendent as a distant figure in an office that might not even be in the school building or maybe as a larger-than-life figure with a deep voice only heard at an assembly once or twice a year and at the high school graduation.

In Mt. Olive Township, however, the students may hear their superintendent on the stage at the Middle School or in the gazebo at Sand Shore School.

Dr. Larrie Reynolds was a music teacher before he became an administrator and he is still a musician, primarily a keyboard player, but he also plays guitar and sings.

He plays at the New Beginnings Bible Church in Mt. Olive as part of their praise band. He said he visited the church, which is near his office, and came to the conclusion they could use some help. He had played at other churches in the past.

“I seem to be a good fit,” he said of the gig he just started a couple of weeks ago.

He also plays with Caren Kennedy and

Undercover. “I’m undercover,” he joked.

“She’s the one you’d want to listen to for more than 11 minutes.”

Kennedy is a math teacher at the Mt. Olive Middle School and the two have made music together for several years.

A native of Maryland, Reynolds studied music in Music City, Nashville, then went to graduate school in Oklahoma. He taught music in Yukon, OK, the year Garth Brooks graduated from the high school, but takes no credit for the superstar’s success.

He was then a principal for 17 years in Oklahoma and Kansas before leaving education to found a company that ran afterschool and summer programs for kids, Newton Learning. Headquartered in Dallas, Newton has offices in 36 states.

“We started with two employees and when I left there were 12,000,” he said.

Admitting to a desire to become a superintendent, he came east, first to Pequannock, and then, about eight years ago, to Mt. Olive.

“I still think of myself as a music educator,” he said, admitting he knew being a musician couldn’t pay the bills. “I’m not that

A student said to his master: “You teach me fighting, but you talk about peace. How do you reconcile the two?”

The master replied: “It is better to be a warrior in a garden than to be a gardener in a war.”

great. I’m not like the people who go on American Idol and think they’ll be stars. I enjoy singing and performing. It’s a wonderful release.”

Reynolds is also supportive of the school’s music programs, including playing a concert for the children at Sand Shore School.

The superintendent has also played in “Mt. Olive’s Got Talent,” with videos available on YouTube.

Both of his sons are musical. Benjamin, 30, is a guitarist. Thomas is a drummer, but not by profession like his brother. He works in finance. Both live in Tennessee.

Longtime Local Man Recognized

By National Association For Volunteer Service

By Cheryl Conway hen it comes to computers and technology, Jim Daggon of Budd Lake knows his trade.

For his profession, Daggon works as a senior product engineer for emerging technologies at Rice Lake Weighing Systems based out of Wisconsin, Colo. During his spare time, he has been volunteering to help New Jersey Recreation and Parks Association with any of its technology issues like setting up its website.

A resident of Mt. Olive for 28 years, Daggon’s work has not gone unrecognized. He was recently awarded the NJRPA Service Award for going above and beyond in helping out the organization.

At the NJRPA Annual Conference held March 1 in Atlantic City, with about 400 delegates, vendors and volunteers, Daggon was surprisingly called up to receive the award. He was recognized for his years of voluntary service and received a plaque from the association.

“As president, one of the fun things I get to do is to honor people with a President’s Award,” stated Mona Cholowinski, president of the NJRPA and superintendent of Manalapan Parks and Recreation. “We are all volunteers, but this award is for someone who goes far beyond the norm. This individual has given many hours of his time in a field that would other-

wise have been costly to the association. This person helped bring NJRPA into the 21st Century. Jim Daggon, please come up and receive your award.”

The purpose of the service award is “to say ‘thank-you’ for different things done. “For Jim’s case it’s been technology.

We just did a new website,” she says, with lots of technological upgrades in the last three to four years. The website is NJRPA.org.

“Jim dedicated his time,” she adds, which was monetarily helpful as opposed to having to pay a computer expert. Instead “Jim was there to help us. He came out to troubleshoot computer systems. It was imperative that we have someone.”

Cholowinski, who is serving as NJRPA president from 2015-2016, knew back in January that Daggon, hands-down, was her choice for this year’s award. Each year, the president selects who he or she thinks is most deserving of the award, whether the person is a member of NJRPA or a volunteer. A few years ago, a fire department received the service award for helping out during Hurricane Sandy, says Cholowinski.

Currently, NJRPA has 465 professional members and 125 commercial members, according to Cholowinski.

Daggon got involved as a volunteer with NJRPA through his wife’s involvement. His wife, Jill Daggon, is an employee with Mt. Olive Recreation.

“He is not going to disappear,” she adds.

“Jim has been assisting the NJRPA for about six years, during the time that I have been serving on its Board of Trustees as Member at large,” confirms Jill Daggon, Mt. Olive recreation supervisor. “The award was a complete surcontinued on next page

“I am very proud of him, and his willingness to help in any way he can,” adds Jill.

“He also develops educational sessions on tech topics, for the association, both at the annual conferences and local district meetings.”

Daggon, who accompanied his wife to the conference, was surprised he was selected and indeed honored.

“The minute they announced it, it was a very pleasant surprise but unexpected,” says Daggon.

As soon as Cholowinski mentioned “’Someone who helped me with IT,’ I knew

it was me,” he laughs. “They are a very good, great group of people. They do good things.

It’s refreshing; it’s easy to help out with things like that.”

While it is clear he didn’t want to boast too much about the service he did provide to the NJRPA, he mentions that he did some marketing technologies to advance the recreation department; helped set up computers and its website; trouble-shoot some issues with the computers; set up projectors and speakers via the computer during state conventions making sure there is “internet access, to make sure everything runs smoothly, so I help out with that.”

continued from front page the counter, for disposal.

“Take expired medication and dump it,” says Brett.

LEAD is a new program being offered in Mt. Olive Schools to replace the former DARE (Drug Abuse Resistance Education) program.

“This year, Mayor Robert Greenbaum and Council President Joe Nicastro and I discussed the return of a drug education program,” explains Mark Spitzer, Mt. Olive Police chief. “The mayor and council have always supported such a program and urged the return. I was fortunate to be given an additional officer in the ranks to help a bit with staffing. We are still down six officers from the time we had a program but it would be perpetuating an earlier mistake not to return an educational component to our crime, drug, and bullying prevention program. I have decided to add LEAD as our method of delivery.”

The MOPD is heading into elementary school classrooms to teach students to live safe, healthy, drug-free lives, explains Spitzer. It is teaching LEAD and the Too

Good for Drugs and Violence Curriculum, which involve lessons to introduce and review a series of skills to prepare children to make healthy choices and resist unhealthy behaviors in life, including bullying, alcohol, and drug use.

The program has started with fifth graders at the Tinc Road Elementary School with plans to introduce the program to all fifth graders district-wide for the 2016-2017 school year, says Spitzer.

Getting rid of DARE years ago is a decision ultimately regretted by Spitzer.

“Several years ago when our department size was cut by 11 officers, I made the difficult decision to eliminate the former DARE Program. Candidly, I have regretted the decision ever since,” says Spitzer. According to NJ Educators and Law Enforcement professionals tasked with delivering that program, it could not prove its scientific construct or efficacy. It was removed and I wish we had an alternative then.

“Since then, we became more reactionary then preventive and that is not forward thinking,” he concludes.

According to Spitzer, MOMAC “never

really ended here in Mt. Olive but had stalled a bit for several years because we did not have a deliverable drug education program.

MOMAC is part of a state grant funding program for all municipalities. When a charged person is convicted of certain drug related crimes, part of the collected fines go into a fund known as the Drug Demand Reduction Fund (DEDR). DEDR monies are distributed

to the varying municipalities to help fund programs to help resist and diminish drug use. Each town has the autonomy to use these small grants to develop community based anti-drug coalitions, such as MOMAC. “In NJ, approximately a half a million dollars was collected last year and we received about $15,000 in funding here in Mt. Olive,” continued on next page

“If we can help one family, then we met our goal,” says Brett. “Every life counts.

Adult actions end up with adult problems. We want to help keep everyone safe; we don’t want to lose anyone else.”

Local Expert Shows NJ Parents How To Get The Most Money For Their Children’s College Education

ew Jersey parents suffering with finding ways to pay for their children’s college education can finally get the solutions to their college funding problems.

Most families who earn $75,000 or more and own a home assume they are not eligible for financial aid. However, most families with income over $100,000 are actually eligible for some types of “need based” financial aid. They simply need to know how to get their fair share.

According to Newell, there are several easy things parents can do to substantially increase the amount of money they get from colleges. For example, “There are several schools that historically give better financial aid packages than others,” says Newell. “If families do proper income and asset planning before filling out the forms, they can increase eligibility by thousands of dollars.”

Newell offers a few simple tips to parents with college funding problems. “If a parent

has only half an hour to end their college funding problems, I would suggest the following: 1. Make sure they do not over-value their home on the financial aid forms.

2. Try not to save money in the child’s name as it weighs more heavily than the parent’s savings.

3. Don’t be afraid to negotiate with a college for a better financial aid package.

Newell offers New Jersey parents with college funding problems a free booklet that explains the 9 most common college funding problems and solutions. Free copies will be distributed at the seminar listed below.

Mr. Newell will be conducting a free onehour seminar for parents of college bound high school sophomores and juniors at the following location: The Mt. Olive Public Library, on Tues.., May 31 at 7 p.m.

Reservation only! Seating is limited. Reserve your seat today by calling toll free 1800-928-8464.

Run For God Program Gets Family On Track

By Anastasia Marchese n 2013, Dave Hickey presented his church family at Grace Church on the Mount in Netcong with a new ministry, “Run for God.” This twelve week walk/run program follows the book “Devotions: Finding God in a Runners Space”

by Mitchell Hollis. “Run for God” is a national ministry which shows the parallels between principles of the Bible and a running in a physical race.

When Hickey made his presentation, Steve and Aggie Beede were on stage at the church, leading worship with the praise team. “We looked at each other and without saying anything we knew we needed to do it,” said Aggie. “We were overweight and out of shape. We started from zero, no experience whatsoever. We were feeling guilty, but not doing anything about it.”

Steve and Aggie joined the first “Run for God” class that Grace Church organized.

“It teaches you how to eat healthy, what kind of shoes you should wear, and how to avoid injury,” says Aggie. “You learn how to stretch, all the basics to be a good runner/walker.” It doesn’t only address physical health though, but focuses on the connections between the physical race that the participants are preparing for and the spiritual race of life- “let us lay aside every weight, and the sin which doth so easily beset us, and let us run with patience the race that is set before us, Looking unto Jesus the author and finisher of our faith,” from Hebrews 12:1-2pp.

“We learn to love God and understand his ways,” says Aggie. “We have a half an hour of bible study.” After the bible study the class goes on to learn something health related, followed by a walk/run. The goal of the first twelve weeks is to complete the Roxbury 5K Run. “It is the graduation race. The program goes slow, so by then you are ready,” Aggie says.

Completing their first 5K wasn’t the end for the Beedes, but just the beginning of their journey towards continued health and fitness. In the three years since, “Steve has already run two marathons and I have run three half marathons, and this year I am ready to run the New York Marathon.” Aggie is excited to share the life changing effects this program has had in her family. When asked what kept her and her husband moving forward as runners after they accomplished their first goal, Aggie was enthusiastic, “You see changes in your body and your bad habits. You accomplished a goal. You think, ‘What’s next? Let’s keep going!”

Aggie is clear that she doesn’t attribute these life changes to herself alone, “When it is hard, we focus our eyes on God. We say ‘God carry me on.”

Another part of the Beedes continued commitment to running and healthy living, has to do with the great friendships that are cultivated through the “Run for God” program.

“We make a lot of friends and continue to run together and encourage one another,” she says. “When you go long distance and you are going slowly you get to talk. We make good friends. We make great, great friends.”

Storage Place And Low Interest Mortgage Needed To Save Shelter

By Cheryl Conway rateful for some monetary and furniture donations in her last call for help, the founder of a battered women’s shelter organization continues her search for a hero to hold the mortgage.

Sandra Ramos of Ringwood, a pioneer advocate for battered women who has sheltered and strengthened women and children for more than four decades is reaching out to others to help save the shelter at risk for foreclosure.

The founder and director of Strengthen Our Sisters (SOS) is looking for someone to hold the mortgage at a lower interest rate so she can continue to provide housing for 155 women and children in shelters located in New Foundland, Wanaque and West Milford. SOS is a grassroots, community based non-profit, program serving homeless/battered women and children since 1977.

“They are working with us,” says Ramos about Rialto Capital Management Advisors in Florida which currently holds the mortgage bridge loan. She says she has six more months to raise $15,000 to avoid a foreclosure.

Established in 1977 as Shelter Our Sisters - the first shelter for battered women in North America- the organization changed its name to Strengthen Our Sisters and has since grown to eight houses, two day care centers, a food pantry and a thrift store. The properties’ value a total of $2.5 million, with $580,000 left to be paid.

A woman from Chatham recently donated $2,500; others

gave holiday baskets and furniture.

“Lots of people donated food and Easter baskets but if they don’t have a place to live where are they going to keep their Easter baskets?” she asks. The same holds true with the furniture donations.

About 20 people recently have called offering to donate furniture. Although grateful for all of the donations, Ramos says the next hurdle is trying to find or afford a storage place to hold the furniture.

“People called to donate furniture,” says Ramos. “We don’t have room to store the furniture. We need a storage place. People donating beautiful furniture.”

Ramos says the furniture “will come in handy for women” when they are able to move into an apartment or a place of their own to live.

Through her shelter program, Ramos says “thousands have been saved” during the past 46 years. Many of the women and children her organization helps “don’t have families,” are on section eight, have families or friends “who don’t like them; who don’t want to help them. We have a lot of dysfunctional families.

“We are the only shelter who will take people,” says Ramos. “No one else takes these people from social services.”

With two hotline numbers, Ramos has made herself available to help others- women who could have been forced to live on the streets facing prostitution, living in cars, some having epilepsy or breathing disorders, she describes.

Ramos started her first shelter in 1970 in her three bedroom home in Hackensack. She had three small children at the time, was facing divorce after ten years of marriage and was in need of a roommate, she explains. One roommate turned into 23 women in her house at one point, she admits.

Over the years, in 1977, her initiative became Shelter Our Sisters. 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 donations, counties and social services, “but not enough to keep it going. We have a transportation grant but they took it away. We have five vans; we need help. We’ve been running for three and a half years with a non-paid staff,” down from a paid staff of 55 that were let go when SOS lost funding, she says.

Ramos currently has 17 non-paid volunteers who drive the shelter residents to look for jobs, to court, doctor appointments, social services, schools; they fix things, watch children.

SOS recently held a tricky tray and dinner fundraiser and in May plans to host a 3K run/walk and later that month, a Mother’s Day fundraising event. For more details about these events and SOS, go to http://www.strengthenoursisters.org/.

To make a donation or to help, email scb@optonline.net or call Ramos at 973-831-0898 or 973-831-6156.

Skyland Songwriterâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Guild Receives Nonprofit Status

By Miguel Diaz he Skylandâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Songwriters Guild (SSG), based out of Ledgewood, is celebrating its newfound status as a nonprofit organization. This recently achieved status, dating back to the end of January, will allow them to accept donations and sponsorships to fund upcoming

events.

SSG started approximately six years ago by the organizations founderâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Renee and Clark Paddock, who are both musicians.

The Paddocks wanted the organization to focus on the education aspect of songwriting and performing original pieces.

Prior to becoming a nonprofit organization, the Paddocks spread the word of the

-OUNT AI N !VE (ACKET T ST OWN

COM WWW HACKET T ST OWNBL I NDS COM

idea of SSG around through Facebook and other social media outlets. Word of mouth was also used which turned out to be a great tool to use to get them discovered by their community.

The Paddocks write Indie and acoustic songs, but are willing to open up to other genres of music.

However, the idea has yet to be introduced.

SSG holds workshops in order to boost the confidence of members through critique and the exchange of different techniques and songwriting styles. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This is to try to help people hone their skills,â&#x20AC;?

Public Relations Coordinator Dorie Whittenburg said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Once we provide the critique session, it would be much more informal ses-

sions. It wouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t be just to submit your songs- the critiques would only be for those involved in the workshop. If we have a special guest speaker, we would

have them provide feedback.â&#x20AC;?

Whittenburg said the SSG provides a chance for members to get to know continued on next page

continued from previous page others in their community, provide an area to network with other individuals and to educate each other. Some workshops focus on the business aspect of the music industry as well, but currently the SSG is not large enough to provide members with the opportunity to get discovered.

The SSG does have events and venues that members can perform their original pieces in front of live audiences such as their Groove in the Grove event, which is its largest event, primarily held in Vasa Park in Mt. Olive. The event has performances by local and regional songwriters.

Other events to be expected from SSG are the Riverside Rhythm & Rhyme Concert Series/Open Mic Night (RRR), and also the Monthly SSG Member Gathering/Open Mic Night. The RRR gathering is held on the second Saturday of the month, with a $10 suggested donation, starting in

September and ending in May. The Monthly SSG Member Gathering/Open Mic events are held every third Thursday of the month at Enzo’s Pizzeria in Budd Lake.

There is a $5 cover charge with adult beverages and food available.

According to a press release by the SSG, the Groove in the Grove event has been around since 2011, and will be held this year on June 11 from 1 p.m. – 9 p.m. at Vasa Park. The afternoon will be performances by singers and songwriters and the evening will consist of live bands on an outdoor stage. There will be adult beverages available. Adults are charged $15, students pay $10, and children 12 and under are free.

“It’s an all afternoon and into the evening event,” said Whittenburg. “At the end of the evening there is a feature full band performance, but the performances haven’t been finalized yet.”

“We are looking forward to a great season with Mt. Olive Baseball & Softball Association that will be filled with exciting games and an enhanced experience for the teams through the equipment and cash donations,” said Kristen McAlevey of Route 46 Chevrolet. “Chevy Youth Baseball is just one example of how committed our dealership is to supporting the youth and families in our community.”

The 2016 program will provide assistance to approximately 300 organizations in the Northeastern region and Chevrolet dealers will contribute more than $450,000 in monetary and equipment donations.

Former MOHS Baseball Star Named Player Of The Week On Collegiate Level

By Cheryl Conway 2014 graduate of Mt. Olive High School, Bobby Shannon of Flanders is hitting some great wins as a sophomore at Ramapo College in Mahwah.

For those who know Shannon, 20, he is a remarkable athlete no matter what game he competes but in baseball, he has been off the charts. Playing two years as shortstop in the infield for the Roadrunners, Shannon was recently named Player of the Week by the New Jersey Athletic Conference.

Shannon earned his first NJAC Player of the Week honor the week ending March 20 after he lead his undefeated team to six more wins with a .632 batting average.

He went 12 for 19 with nine runs batted in (RBIs) and 10 runs scored, as well as a triple and a home run.

He had boasted a .895 slugging percentage and a .682 on-base percentage that week as well. Some more highlights included his going two for two with three RBIs against Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute (RPI); had a three for three performance with two RBIs and a triple against Washington University; and blasted a three-run homer against Wheaton.

Playing baseball for 15 years- since he was five years old- starting out with tee ball and playing through four years of high school, Shannon was leading all NJAC play-

ers with a .579 batting average by March 20, when his Player of the Week honor was announced.

When he played for MOHS, Shannon earned “Star Ledger” Player of the Week for the state, captain of his team and most valuable player his senior year.

Other baseball teams he has played for include Complete Player Reds, Dayton Titans, Old Bridge Yankees and New Jersey Heat.

His greatest accomplishment with baseball has been playing in division three college world series. Shannon, who is studying business administration with a concentration in marketing, hopes to someday get drafted and play professional baseball.

An overall talented athlete, Shannon has also shined in other sports including basketball, winter track and golfing.

With baseball, something surely hits home.

He loves the game of baseball and the concentration and commitment needed to play.

“Having my dad as my coach and best friend and batting instructor, has made baseball my favorite sport,” admits Shannon. “When I have a problem we go to the field and my dad pitches me buckets of balls until we fix my swing problem. He never says ‘no’ to me; he always gets up and says ‘let’s go to the field we have work to do.’

“My dad can fix my swing any time I am having a prob-

lem,” continues Shannon. “We have the same relationship as professional baseball player Bryce Harper and his dad have.”

A Celebration For Asparagus Lovers Is Coming To Black Forest Inn

sparagus is a sure sign of spring and people of German descent are wild about asparagus. They call asparagus the â&#x20AC;&#x153;joy of springâ&#x20AC;? in much the way some celebrate fall with apples. Keeping the German tradition, the Black Forest Inn in Stanhope is holding its first Sparglefest on Sat., April 23, from 5 p.m. to 10 p.m.

Spargle is the German word for asparagus.

On this night, Chef Heiner Aichem will devote a menu to asparagus with a variety of creative offerings. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We'll serve fresh asparagus in as many delicious ways as we can think of,â&#x20AC;? adds Aichem. He notes that their interest in Sparglefest comes through a direct tie with his family in Germany where Aichemâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s father, Heinz, was born and worked before estab-

am asking for your help by way of a donation to a critical partner in our community. As a police chief, I am extremely grateful to have the Mt. Olive Child Care and Learning Center (MOCCLC) in our township; it is a tremendous resource for so many people who struggle to raise their children under difficult circumstances. Day care is an essential resource in our very busy world and the MOCCLC is a very important part of our sociological construct.

Personally, as a resident and a father, I was first introduced to the MOCCLC over a decade ago. In 2005, my daughter Katelyn was a young single mother. At 19 years of age she gave birth to my grandson Lance and she found herself alone and struggling to raise a child. Katie had begun her schooling to become a registered nurse but that was interrupted by her pregnancy. It was a very difficult and stressful time in her life. We wanted to help Katelyn but, as parents, we also hoped she would be able to continue to pursue her career. We were able to provide a home but it was imperative that Katelyn have childcare while she returned to school during the day.

Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s when I met Mary at the centerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s former location in Flanders. Mary listened to our story and advised me on how to enroll. I cannot begin to tell you how critical it was to our family to have this opportunity for my daughter and grandson. MOCCLC helped with daycare and preschool for Lance; and they did so along a sliding financial scale.

With the centerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s help Katelyn earned her associateâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s degree and achieved her vision of becoming an RN. Once Katelyn began her full-time employment, Lance began his education in the public schools here in Mt. Olive Township.

The center again came to our rescue in providing both before and after school care when we needed it. Katelyn worked hard as a nurse while maintaining the hours needed to support her son.

Today, at age 30, Katelyn has since earned her bachelorâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s degree and is nearly complete with her masterâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s program. She and her boyfriend Chris have purchased their own home near the hospital at which she is employed in Pennsylvania.

I have been honored to serve on the Advisory Board of the MOCCLC for several

1@9L

K #F 3GMJ 9;C 39J<

years. My mission is to supplement the strained budget that struggles to maintain the center. Our goal as the advisory board is to raise $10,000 per year by reaching out directly to community members. Today, I am asking my friends and neighbors to please consider making a donation to a supportive community organization that provides a

tremendous service to children and families in need.

The center provides daycare, before and after school care and parenting lessons. I cannot thank the people at the center enough for what they have done for my family and I ask for your help!

Heard, Business Owner, Community Leader, Runs For Congress

raig P. Heard of Succasunna is running as a Republican in New Jersey’s 7th Congressional District.

Heard’s campaign is built upon a lifetime of accomplishment in business, education, community service, charitable fundraising and an unwavering commitment to Conservative values.

For 34 years, Heard has forged a successful business career in the outdoor advertising industry. In 1989, after nine years as CEO and President of Winston Network (now CBS Outdoor), the Heard family purchased Gateway Outdoor Advertising of Pittsburgh, PA., now based in Long Valley with offices in eight cities servic-

ing clients throughout the U.S., with advertising media on transit, bus, bus shelter, trolley, rail, billboards and the largest convenience store advertising networks.

While building a business and raising a family, Heard immersed himself in Republican fundraising and supported Conservative candidates. His personal and corporate commitment always has been to be involved with important causes that support education, advocate for military and veterans, help fight Drug Abuse, aid missing and exploited children and reduce taxes for residents and seniors.

By Cheryl Conway ecruiting new members, spreading the word about the club and protecting lives of those who help others are some of the current goals of the 200 Club of Morris County.

Established 45 years ago in Morris County, the 200 Club of Morris County is gearing up for its 44th Annual Valor Meritorious Awards Dinner set for Thurs., April 28, starting with cocktails at 6 p.m., followed by awards and dinner from 7 p.m. to 10 p.m., at the Birchwood Manor in Whippany.

He has also served on the Roxbury Board of Education, the Board of Directors for Anna Marie College, MA, and he is a Life Member of the NJ State Parent-Teacher Association. Over the years, Heard has led and supported fundraising campaigns to help the homeless, children’s hospitals and veterans.

Heard’s charitable and community work has gained the recognition and praise of U.S. presidents, cabinet members, governors and a long list of national and state charitable organizations.

President’s dangerous nuclear deal with Iran.

Lance was raised in Hunterdon County, where he attended public schools. He holds a bachelor’s degree from Lehigh University; a law degree from Vanderbilt University; and a master’s degree from the Woodrow Wilson School of Public and International Affairs of Princeton University.

Prior to coming to Congress, Lance served as a member of the NJ State Senate where he took on Gov. Whitman over borrowing without voter approval. He is the author of the 2008 Lance Amendment that prohibits further state borrowing without voter approval.

Lance is married to Heidi A. Rohrbach and they have a son, Peter Frank.

recognized and honored for their bravery by the 200 Club, an organization of individuals that support public safety professionals. Firefighters, police and emergency medical providers risked their lives in 11 incidents involving fires, car accidents, gas-filled homes and other emergencies in Morris County towns.

First responders who put their lives at risk earn the Valor Award; those who go beyond the call of duty are awarded the Meritorious Award.

“We’re very lucky to have individuals like these keeping us safe here in Morris County,” said James M. Gannon, president of the 200 Club, in a press release. “It’s an honor to recognize their good work.”

When citizens are in Morris County “running away from crime, these first responders are running toward the fire,” says Gannon during an interview with New View Media Group. “It’s time to put them on a pedal stool and say ‘thanks’ for what they are doing.”

Each recipient will be recognized, receive a plaque and a 200 Club Bar to wear below their badge on their uniform, explains Gannon, a member for the past eight years.

With 37 different police departments in Morris County, submissions can be numerous. A review committee of the 200 Club meets to determine who is worthy of a valor award or meritorious award.

“People selected are the cream of the crop,” says Gannon of Boonton Twp. The Morris County Chief’s Association, Medical Service Alliance and State Police provide candidates to the 200 Club for consideration.

The 200 Club of Morris County was formed in 1971 by a group of 19 concerned business and political leaders; the group doubled by the end of the year and today involves more than 1,100 members. The Morris County club was an outgrowth of the Essex County Club, which was the first 200 Club in NJ that began in 1967.

Each member pays $200 in annual dues, thus, the 200 designation.

The first 200 Club developed in 1952 in response to the fatal shooting of Arthur Meyers, a Detroit, Michigan police officer, according to the club website. Following the shooting, a local businessman, William Packer, asked his friends to donate to a fund in memory of the fallen officer and met with the officer’s widow to support her finances and setup an education account for their unborn child.

Since that time, 118 of these clubs have been established in 28 states with additional clubs in Puerto Rico and Central America. There are currently 18, 200 Clubs in NJ. A non-profit, 501c3 organization, the 200 Club of Morris County supports local police officers, fire fighters, first aid squad members, and NJ state police serving Morris County who die in the line of duty.

When a public safety official loses their life in the line of duty, the Action Committee of The 200 Club of Morris County reaches out to the widow to offer emotional support and financial assistance in the form of a death benefit to

help manage the financial burden during this difficult time.

The current benefit is $30,000.

The 200 Club of Morris County also awards an annual benefit to each eligible child of the public safety official in an effort to help ease the financial concerns created by the loss of their loved one, as stated on the website. At present, the annual benefit is $10,000 per child per year until age 18. Should the child continue onto college, the benefit is increased to $15,000 per year until age 23 or graduation.

Since its inception in 1971, the 200 Club of Morris County has distributed more than $4.3 million in survivor benefits and scholarships to families. For 2016, the club is nearing $1,100 that will be awarded in college scholarships to high school seniors serving in a branch of public safety or whose a parent is actively serving or retired from a public safety capacity in Morris County.

The scholarship committee voted to award 20 scholarships of $5,000 each. The scholarship awards dinner will be May 16 at 6 p.m. at the Zeris Inn. The 200 Club is supported by membership dues and private donations.

“Every year that money goes out to help first responders,” says Lou Nisivoccia of Randolph, previous president of the 200 Club. “If we can recruit more members, we can increase the money given to those lost in the line of duty.

We’ve been slowly increasing the membership. We need to get the word out.”

Last year, Nisivoccia implemented a Power of One program in which each member is encouraged to bring in one new member.

A member for 15 years, Nisivoccia and his wife support several charities and with the 200 Club “We are helping our neighbors right here in Morris County. I want to take care of those people who take care of me every single day.”

In March, the 200 Club of Morris County started its $15,000 Billboard Campaign for the Move Over law, in an continued on page 30

Gannon Runs For Morris County Sheriff In June Primary

he growing momentum behind Republican Jim Gannon’s campaign for Morris County Sheriff is driven by his unmatched law enforcement and security experience, overwhelming support from Morris conservative and Republican leaders, and a fiscal reform agenda that puts taxpayers first.

Gannon graduated Boonton High School where he played multiple sports and also was a member of the Boonton Township Fire Service.

Gannon earned his associate’s degree in

He served in the Essex County Sheriff’s Office, the Essex County and Bloomfield police departments.

In 1995, Sierchio was elected to represent the PBA as the vice-president of Bloomfield PBA Local 32, a position he held until he was elected as State Delegate in 1997, a role he served for nearly 15 years until his promotion to the rank of sergeant.

He has served as a member of the Board of Trustees for the Police and Firemen’s Retirement System in 2002. In his role as chair, he saved millions of dollars for taxpayers and protected the savings of law abiding citizens by exposing fraudulent pension claims.

Local Teen Lands In Top Ten At Regionals And State Champ In Gymnastics

By Cheryl Conway ighth grader Kaylen Summer of Flanders is jumping to the top in gymnastics as she just finished sixth in regionals for her age group after being named state champ last month.

Summer, who attends Mt. Olive Middle School, competed at the level eightregion seven Championships in Wingate, Pa., on April 3. Out of 48 gymnasts in her age group from NJ, Va., West Virginia, Pa. and MD, Summer is the top sixth gymnast, with top scores in vault.

Her placing sixth on vault with “an impressive 9.6” in regionals is even shocking to the state champ.

Summer, 14, says, “I was so excited at regionals!

I did not expect to do this well! I was surprised, and happy! It was a really fun experience!” It was her exceptional performance in vault that put her in sixth

I

place, and she did get some “good scores” on the other categories which include bars, beam and floor.

“I did okay! Regionals is the best of the best so I ended up not placing in anything else but still had good scores!”

Summer’s next goal with gymnastics would just be going to the next level.

Pushing myself to be ‘A’ level this year. Her competition at regionals this year was for the Senior B level.

Before getting to regionals, Summer was named the 2016 NJ USAGNJ level eight Vaulting Champion.

On Sun., March 21, USAGNJ held the level eight gymnastics State Championships at Rutgers University.

Kaylen's vault received a 9.375 making her the State Champion on vault out of 22, 14-year old girls.

Her all-around score at states, which was a 35.95 out of a high score of 40,

made her a member of the NJ regional team where she, along with five other teammates, were invited to represent NJ at the Regional Championships in Pa. on April 3.

Summer says she was “very excited,” when she won in states. “I didn’t think I could do it. After I placed, I was proud of myself that all my work paid off.”

Ever since she was two years old, Summer has been involved in gymnastics. Her favorite events has always been vault, when a gymnast runs down a runway, jumps on a springboard, flips over a vault table and lands on a mat.

To prepare for her competitions, summer spent about four to five hours every other day in the gym practicing the different events. Although that sounds like a lot, Summer’s passion for the sport outweighs the time commitment.

“I enjoy getting new skills and competing against other girls,” says Summer. “I like the feeling of winning, that I get something out of it. I like the challenge. Gymnastics is not like any other sport.”

The qualities that make her shine in gymnastics are “I have dedication and determination,” says Summer who has been a member of Northern Elite Gymnastics in Flanders since she was eight.

Although this was the first year Summer could even compete in regionals because of the age requirement, competing at that level is her greatest accomplishment thus far. She has received two gold medals in vault; when she was in level four she placed second in states in vault; and at age 11 she won vault as a state champion.

As with any sport, athletes can face some challenges. For Summer, she has had several injuries she had to overcome such as three broken bones in her

“You have to love what you do,” advises Summer.

“If you’re not 100 percent, it might not be for you. You have to want to miss parties.

Local Family Teams Up To Prepare Magazines For Distribution To Hospitalized Warriors

By Cheryl Conway ollecting and preparing magazines to give to hospitalized soldiers and veterans has become a family affair for a local family.

Kavita Sajja of Mt. Olive, her two sisters, their husbands and five children between them have been getting together once a week for 90 minutes or more to volunteer time for the All Veterans Memorial Outreach Program called Magazines To Magazines. The AVM program began four years ago but is now being spearheaded by this family team.

“The Magazines to Magazines Campaign is run by an amazing family from Guiana,” says Charlie Wood Urhmann, originator/founder of the AVM. They are genuinely grateful for their freedom. They are using the opportunity to teach their young children to be kind and mindful.

“A terrific family that’s been such a support,” says Urhmann about the Sajjas. “It’s a way for them to teach their kids how to give back to the community.”

Terry Sajja says “Our kids are four years old now, we wanted to give the kids a sense of community. He and his wife thought “it would be great for our kids to be involved in the community especially to those who have given us our liberties.”

Sajja says, “My wife’s sisters felt the program would be good for the kids; said ‘hey let’s get together and do this.’”

So every Saturday or Sunday the group has been meeting to peel labels off the magazines and place an AVM label on instead.

“We strip off all personal information, shred it for privacy and label with AVM,” explains Sajja. They work in a “nice little assembly line,” one peels off the label, one shreds and another puts a new AVM label on, and then they rotate their jobs.

According to the AVM website, It is estimated that one in three veterans returning from Iraq and Afghanistan will experience combat–stress also known as Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) or a Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI). “The "invisible wounds" of these wars are complex and many of the symptoms are the same.”

The AVM, with the donation of magazines from FL Aviation and any other contributors, have been providing reading material to those who are either hospitalized or being evaluated for possible PTSD. Hundreds of free magazines are delivered each month to Lyons Hospitals.

Urhmann had noticed several years back the lack of magazines in the waiting room of a hospital.

“The first thing that gets cut” for soldiers is the magazines, says Urhmann. “They didn’t have the reading material so we stepped up the magazines.”

Sajja says providing the magazines to the soldiers and veterans, “provides some level of distraction from whatever experiences they are going through. It’s having that sense of normalcy. I’m going to read; I’m going to relax.” Reading provides a “kind of decompressing from the environment of a combat person to some kind of

continued from previous page normalcy.â&#x20AC;?

The AVM prefers the magazines are two weeks old or newer.

Although the family will take â&#x20AC;&#x153;whateverâ&#x20AC;? magazines are donated to them, Sajja says the group prefers more recent magazines so the soldiers or veterans can stay current. This will allow them to have timely conversations with family and friends who come visit them, he says.

Sajja has been getting even more magazines from donations, neighbors, friends, some doctor offices and through his company. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a complete variety of magazines that appeal to everyoneâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s taste,â&#x20AC;? says Sajja. Some of these magazines can cost $15 to $20 and vary from â&#x20AC;&#x153;Peopleâ&#x20AC;? Magazine, to financial magazines.

The project has been a great learning experience for his family. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We talk to our kids; they enjoy doing it and they are grasping who they are helping,â&#x20AC;? says Sajja. He was looking forward to taking the kids to Lyons Hospital for their

delivery. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll be great to see the fruition of their work and to meet the veterans as well,â&#x20AC;? says Sajja. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve always been a supporter of men and women in the armed forces even before our kids were born,â&#x20AC;? says Sajja. Although â&#x20AC;&#x153;thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a lot of thingsâ&#x20AC;? to get involved in, â&#x20AC;&#x153;this is a great stepping stone for them. Our freedoms are provided by the sacrifices of others.â&#x20AC;?

Sajja says, â&#x20AC;&#x153;our kids are still a little bit young; this is a great opportunity for them to interact with other community members and help them to be better contributors with other charities.â&#x20AC;?

He concludes, â&#x20AC;&#x153;itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a fantastic opportunity. We are honored . We are very humble to be able to do something for our veterans; to make our small sacrifices for the bigger sacrifices.â&#x20AC;?

Donations are being accepted from â&#x20AC;&#x153;everybody,â&#x20AC;? says Sajja. Go to www.allveteransmemorial.com to donate or send magazines to 13 Jennies Lane, Hackettstown, NJ, 07840.

Reduced Cost Of Well Water Testing For MO Residents

he Mt. Olive Township Environmental Commission and the Raritan Headwaters Association (RHA) are sponsoring reduced-cost well water testing for Mt. Olive residents.

If a household water comes from a private well, it is not tested by any state or local authority. The homeowner is re-

sponsible for the quality of well water.

Mt. Olive residents may have their well water tested for coliform bacteria and nitrates for $60. Test kits for other contaminants, such as lead, arsenic and radon, are available for additional cost. Each test kit comes with easy-to-follow instructions and all required containers.

Test kits may be purchased on Sat., May 14, between 9 a.m. and noon at the Mt. Olive Municipal Building. Payment is by check only.

The water samples must be dropped off at the municipal building on Mon., May 16 between 7 a.m. and 10 a.m. The RHA will ensure that all the samples reach a state-certified laboratory later that day for testing. Test results are communicated directly to the residents. If pollutants are detected, the RHA will provide information so that well owners can address the problems and make their water safe for consumption.

Nationally, nearly half of all people get their water from groundwater sources.

Approximately 80 percent of people living in the Raritan Headwaters region rely on groundwater. The EPA and NJ DEP both recommend that private wells be tested annually for coliform and nitrates.

Both human-caused and naturally occurring contaminants are often found in private wells. Nitrates and bacteria,

which can lead to immediate and serious health conditions, may be found in well water as a result of a poorly performing septic system or a nearby agricultural source. Two naturally occurring elements, arsenic and radon, are also commonly found in well water in northwestern New Jersey. Scientific studies associate long-term exposure to arsenic and radon with cancer and other health effects. Lead may be present in drinking water if there is lead-based solder in pipes or lead components in well pumps. The lead is leached by corrosive water. Lead can cause physical or mental development problems in infants and children.

For more information, contact Margaret Logreira of RHA at 908-234-1852, ext. 401 or at welltesting@raritanheadwaters.org. Visit the RHA website for demonstrations of proper well water sampling techniques (www.raritanheadwaters.org).

N

ow more than ever, food choices matter. People want healthy, environmentally friendly foods without sacrificing flavor. Substituting the traditional protein in your favorite dishes with seafood is one deliciously smart way to satisfy these demands.

Seafood offers numerous health benefits. In fact, because seafood is high in protein, omega-3 fatty acids and essential vitamins and minerals, but low in saturated fat and calories, several health organizations

SWAP Meat to Transform Traditional Meals

recommend two servings per week.

Changing up traditional meals to incorporate the goodness of seafood is easier than you may think. Just pick a non-seafood protein dish that you regularly enjoy and replace the protein with one of Alaskaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s many species of seafood. For example, replace veal in veal parmesan with delicious Alaska cod or the chicken in chicken Marsala with flavorful Alaska salmon.

Free Three-Part Series Offered On Jewish Mysticism

hat is mysticism? What is Jewish mysticism? How is mysticism different from scientific ways of looking at things? How is it similar to the scientific approach to understanding the world?

In an intriguing three-part series, titled “Jewish Mysticism & Its Surprising Impact on our Beliefs, Behaviors, and Our Prayer Book,” Rabbi Mark Biller, spiritual leader of Congregation Beth Ahm in Verona, will delve into these topics and

Childhood Insomnia

nsomnia, or trouble falling asleep or staying asleep, is largely thought of as an adult problem. But children can suffer from insomnia as well, and that can prove disruptive for the entire family. Children who do not receive an adequate amount of sleep can feel tired and irritable, and may have difficulty concentrating in school. Many factors can contribute to the onset of childhood insomnia. Kids, just like adults, can suffer from stress, which then manifests itself as worry or an overactive mind at night, says the

Cleveland Clinic. Depression, anxiety, pain, or other medical problems also may be the catalyst for insomnia. While common insomnia medications used in adults are not approved for children, there are steps parents can take. A solid bedtime routine, including consistent bedtimes and wake times, can help combat child insomnia. Try to identify stressors and remedy them as well. In some instances, a pediatrician or therapist may be needed to help a child work through sleep-related issues.

AVM Provides Community Outreach And Volunteerism For Appreciation And Participation

By Cheryl Conway he All Veteran’s Memorial at Turkey Brook Park in Budd Lake offers so much more than what can be seen at its one-of-a kind educational military complex.

With the first phase that was completed in 2008, the AVM with all of its elements denotes America's rich history of great leaders and battles from the Revolutionary War to the Global War on Terror. Its ceremonial ground pays homage to those who proudly served, are serving or will serve in the U.S. Armed Forces.

Many have been visiting the site for educational purposes and ceremonial events, such as the upcoming ceremony in honor of Memorial Day. But a lot more has been happening behind the scenes in the form of outreach to the military, wounded soldiers, veterans and homeless.

“Our goal is to increase awareness and community involvement,” says Charlie Wood Urhmann, originator/founder of the AVM. With the help from volunteers, “100 percent of the monies is accounted for; it’s donated to the mission at hand.”

The AVM has been serving active service members during deployment overseas since 2008, says Urhmann. “We began serving wounded and homeless warriors since 2010.”

There is a list of outreach programs that the AVM has been involved with. The main ones include an effort to redefine the way Americans observe Memorial Day; providing military support to deployed service members; donating magazines to veterans in hospitals; and bringing hygiene items and warm clothing to homeless heroes.

For AVM Memorial Remembrance Day, AVM volunteers are “redefining the way we observe Memorial Day by providing family members of fallen heroes a platform to share their fond memories of their beloved loss,” explains Urhmann.

Since last year, Urhmann has started a national campaign to change the name from Memorial Day to “Memorial Remembrance Day.” Urhmann explains, “There’s a civil war going on. We still have men and women dying during this war. We opened our Memorial Day Ceremony to speak at our

event. It’s confused between Memorial Day and Veterans Day. We are trying to make it a Memorial Remembrance Day to remember those who have fallen.”

At last year’s Memorial Day program at the AVM, Urhmann “allowed members to speak about their fallen hero. We’ve given them a platform to speak of their loved one.” She had invited members of the New Jersey Gold Star Mothers to speak about their sons who died protecting the United States.

“It should be a solemn day of remembrance and appreciation,” says Urhmann.

Last year’s ceremony at the AVM was “very emotional. We are trying to make them more meaningful. The audience goes away with a whole new mindset and families walk away knowing we appreciate that loss. When we reach out to the families, it’s really healing for them,” particularily Gold Star Moms. It’s therapeutic for the families; it provides opportunity and education to our volunteers” as well as patriotism.

Another outreach program through the AVM is Magazines to Magazines. Started four years ago, hundreds of brand name magazines are delivered monthly to Lyons Hospital free of charge to provide reading material to hospitalized wounded warriors.

The AVM, through their partnerships with various New Jersey based corporate flight departments provide reading material to those who are either hospitalized or being evaluated for possible Post Traumatic Stress Disorder or a Traumatic Brain Injury.

The magazines are provided by FL Aviation out of Morristown.

Operation: 3H, a Hygiene program for Homeless Heroes, is another outreach program of the AVM. For the past eight years, hygiene items and clothing items are distributed through the Bowery Mission in New York.

“We help hundreds of people,” says Urhmann, by delivering hygiene items quarterly to a “true homeless shelter. Men and women take showers.” AVM provides hygiene items such as soaps, shampoos, moisturizers, first aid kits, lip balm.

“We deliver truckloads of stuff,” she says, including warm clothing such as hats, gloves, scarves and sweatsuits.

Troop Support is another big outreach

AVM Founder Charlie Urhmann delivering some packages to the Post office for the Military Support outreach project.

project of the AVM, providing requested items to deployed service members, sending “more than 1,200 care packages to our troops, 700 blankets to the cold, medical supplies to the wounded, and school supplies, toys, candy and clothing to the Iraqi children.

Yet another outreach project of the AVM is Helmets to Hardhats, which provides notifications and opportunities for veterans.

“The transition from military life to civilian life can be the real battle for our warriors,” as described on the AVM website. “The All Veterans Memorial face book page keeps our readers up-to-date with up and coming job fairs and career opportunities throughout the tri-state area. Visit https://www.facebook.com/AllVeteransMemorialMountOlive .”

Urhmann says “The AVM’s overall mission is to deliver a wide-range of opportunities that are designed to foster a sense of oneness between civilians and military veterans by way of conscience appreciation and participation. We promote public awareness, involvement and support for U.S. military service members by way of empowerment, reward and recognition of our volunteers and contributors; achieving a win win result every time.

“We are proud of what we have accomplished,” she says. “In less than ten years we were able to provide community awareness through educational presentations and troop support through our outreach programs. We attribute our success to the patriots who share our core values and appreciation for the freedom we enjoy each and every day. We believe it is our duty to recognize the heroic warriors who secure that freedom with their lives.”

Plenty of opportunities exist for involvement with the AVM. Contact Urhmann at into@allveteransmemorial.org.

“We open our door to anybody, Girl Scouts, Eagle Scouts, Boy Scouts, churches, anybody who needs community service points,” she says. “We are really all about the community.”

Volunteers are welcome to come out on Fri., May 6, from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m., at the AVM site for Community Clean Up Day sponsored by Home Depot to help get the complex grounds ready for the “most amazing” Memorial Remembrance Day Ceremony “ever,” concludes Urhmann, set for Mon., May 30, beginning at 10:30 a.m.

Cook Up a Mother’s Day to Remember

other’s Day is a time for wining, dining and celebrating moms everywhere. Make this Mother’s Day one to remember by hosting a special brunch get-together for the special ladies in your life.

Although quality time together is the true purpose of the day, you can add some special touches to help create a one-of-a-kind brunch to share old memories while you make new ones.

Plan your tablescape. Colorful, fragrant flowers and luxurious linens make your everyday table shine. Use plates in complementing shades and sparkling glassware for an elegant touch. If you have room, add personal touches to the centerpiece, such as mementoes from shared trips or small picture frames with pictures of the two of you through the years.

Prepare a sophisticated menu. Give a nod to the importance of the day with dishes that are a step above standard brunch fare. A richly flavored entree such as this Spring Vegetable and Chevre Tart looks elegant but is surprisingly easy to make. For a cohesive spread, remember to give the basics a boost, too, such as a homemade flavored whipped butter.

Offer a gift with meaning. To truly elevate the occasion, serve (or gift) your mom with a deliciously meaningful wine, such as Cambria Benchbreak Chardonnay or Pinot Noir from the famed Santa Maria bench in Santa Barbara County. Cambria is a family-owned winery that believes in honoring women

Scout Requests Donations To Improve Flanders Park

ason Cartier from Troop 156 in Flanders is working on his Eagle Scout Service Project on behalf of the Mt. Olive Parks Department. He has planned an extensive park improvement that is under way at Flanders Park on Flanders-Bartley Road.

Cartier is developing an unfinished area of the park into a landscaped family picnic area with border gardens, bushes and trees. The area will include refurbished picnic tables, new sitting benches, and trash/recycle bins. It will be a place that families, friends and sports teams can gather to have a meal, snack, or ice cream in a nice spot of the park where there is not cur-

rently this convenience.

This improvement will help beautify the park while providing a useful space for everyone.

He would greatly appre-

7 Places Mosquitoes Might Be Hiding in Your Yard

pring has sprung, which means that mosquito season is almost here.

These tiny insects could be living, flying and breeding right in your yard, and you might not even know it.

Mosquitoes aren’t just a nuisance, they are also a health threat. Some species common in the United States can carry and spread Zika virus, Chikungunya virus, West Nile virus and canine heart worm. The first sign of mosquito activity is usually buzzing from female mosquitoes and their bites.

Where Mosquitoes Breed Female mosquitoes can lay as many as 100 eggs at a time. They can lay eggs in just a few inches of standing water, making pinpointing breeding sites a challenge. To help homeowners, Orkin Entomologist Ron Harrison, Ph.D., reveals seven places mosquitoes like the most and offers advice on how to help keep them out of your yard.

• Gutters. If enough debris is left to collect over time, dirty gutters can clog up and create pockets of water perfect for mosquito breeding. Cleaning gutters regularly to make sure water is flowing smoothly can help keep mosquitoes from breeding so close to your home.

• Toys. They are an often overlooked source of standing water, but toys can collect pockets of water and just a few inches

is enough for a mosquito to raise a family.

• Flower pots. Rainwater can collect in saucers under flower pots. If left to sit for days, the water becomes an excellent breeding spot for mosquitoes.

• Bird baths. Even though birds eat a variety of insects, standing water in bird baths left unchecked for days at a time can become an oasis for female mosquitoes looking for a place to lay eggs. Inspect and change the water weekly to avoid an infestation.

• Rain barrels. If water is used within a few days, it will likely not be enough time to create a mosquito problem, but if water is left standing for multiple days, be prepared to find a hotbed of hungry pests.

• Plants. Some plants can hold water in their “mouths” and offer mosquitoes enough standing water to lay their eggs.

Other shrubbery can serve as a hide-out for grown mosquitoes. In addition to blood, mosquitoes feed on nectar from flowers, so they often hide in shrubbery during the day.

Thinning dense shrubbery to increase air flow can help reduce the number of adult mosquitoes in your yard.

• Tree cavities. Each year, cavities in tree stumps and trunks are filled with water by rainfall or melting ice and snow, and mosquitoes may choose these holes for breed-

A

ing. While it can be difficult to remove the standing water, a licensed professional can help identify and treat these areas.

• Low points in the yard. Any areas lower than the rest of your yard may collect and hold standing water. Make note of these areas when patrolling and be sure to inspect and drain them if necessary.

Take Back Your Yard It’s important to do a weekly inspection

of your entire yard to locate and eliminate any standing water. It’s also a good idea to encourage your neighbors to do the same so that mosquitoes aren’t traveling from their yard to yours.

If you’ve done everything you can to help prevent mosquitoes and are still having problems, you may need a licensed professional. For more details, visit Orkin.com.

Tips to Get Your Yard Summer-Ready lthough you may be itching to get back outside, before you can relax there’s work to do. After enduring the wear and tear of fall and winter, most yards need attention to get back into summer shape.

These tips from the experts at Sun Joe will help you clean up your entire yard in time for summer so there’s more time to enjoy the great outdoors: • Garden – Prepare your planting bed by using a tiller before seeding. Loosening up existing soil helps water and nutrients reach your new plants’ roots. Better yet, add some manure before tilling to create a healthy growing environment.

• Trees – Spring and summer are all about new life and dead tree limbs hanging around your home can kill the mood. Instead of climbing up a rickety latter with clippers, keep your feet planted and use Sun Joe’s cordless Pole Chain Saw. This lightweight chainsaw allows you to saw off dead limbs and let gravity do the rest… just make sure to stand back using the 15-foot extension.

• Mulch – Use the mild weather of spring before it gets too hot to lay down or freshen up the mulch around your plants. A thin (2-3 inches deep) layer of mulch around your

landscape will help keep roots cool in the upcoming summer months and warm when cooler weather inevitably returns again.

• Grass – When your grass is recovering from the long winter, you should wait until your soil dries out before starting work on your lawn because being too eager and working on soggy soil can harm already tender new grass roots. Once your grass is alive and growing, mow only once you need to – grass is at its healthiest if you cut no more than a third of the blade. Get your timing right and your neighbors will notice that the grass is always greener on your side.

• Driveway/Patio – Over the winter months, mildew, grime, dirt and stains have grown in your outdoor spaces, reduced curb appeal and destroyed your yard. Sun Joe’s line of easy-to-use electric pressure washers can make your spaces look brand new, delivering thousands of pounds of water pressure to demolish every square inch of dirt from your driveway, your patio, your sidewalk and even your home’s siding.

United Way Fundraising Breakfast Features Philanthropic Power Of Women

rea women business and community leaders can network and hear New York Times bestselling author Laura Schroff talk about the philanthropic power of women at a United Way of Northern New Jersey fundraiser on Thurs., April 28, from 7:30 a.m. to 9:45 a.m. at the Hanover Marriott.

The United Way Women’s Leadership Council is holding this premier networking breakfast for influential women in northern NJ to support scholarship opportunities for local individuals and families who are ALICE -Asset Limited, Income Constrained, Employed- living paycheck to paycheck and struggling to afford the basics.

“This is a singular opportunity to meet like-minded women who care about using their influence to change lives and communities for the better,” said council associate director Michele Dreiblatt.

Schroff, author of “An Invisible Thread,” was chosen as the keynote speaker, Dreiblatt said, as an example of the positive impact women can have in their communities. The book, which stayed on the New York Times Best Seller List for 39 weeks, tells the true story of how Schroff helped change the course of a young boy’s life. Schroff, who will sign copies of her book at the breakfast, has won numerous awards and shared her inspiring story alongside Archbishop Desmond Tutu, former First Lady Laura Bush and bestselling

C

author Malcolm Gladwell.

“Laura Schroff is a model for how women can be a philanthropic force in our state,” Dreiblatt said. “When we join together we have the potential to improve life not only for our most vulnerable families, but for all of us.”

Attendees will also learn about the Council, a 130-member strong United Way philanthropic women’s group. Throughout the year, members are engaged in volunteer, fundraising and advocacy efforts to help the region’s ALICE population attain financial stability.

Across the northern New Jersey region, spanning Morris, Somerset, Suburban Essex, Sussex and Warren counties, a total of 27 percent of households qualify as ALICE or in poverty, according to United Way research.

Proceeds from the breakfast will go toward three United Way scholarship programs that seek to remove the barriers that keep ALICE and those in poverty from achieving their potential. Through these scholarships, child care educators can access professional development opportunities, families can afford quality child care, and adults can pursue post-secondary education.

Tickets for the event are $70. For more information about the event or the Council, visit www.UnitedWayNNJ.org/WLCBreakfast2016, email Michele.Dreiblatt@UnitedWayNNJ.org or call 973-993-1160, x128.

Historical Museum Celebrates National Public Gardens Day

acculloch Hall Historical Museum (MHHM) in Morristown plans to participate in National Public Gardens Day on Fri., May 6, from 2 p.m.-5 p.m.

Now in its seventh year, National Public Gardens Day promotes awareness of more than 500 gardens throughout North America as vibrant educational community resources.

MMHM invites friends and families to enjoy an afternoon in the Museum’s historic gardens, which will literally be buzzing with a delightful range of free children’s activities and presentations. Visitors can meet a beekeeper and watch honeybees at work in their hive; get the dirt on dirt with a soil scientist; create art; explore the garden in a scavenger hunt; and listen to stories under MMHM’s renowned beech tree.

Highlights of the program include presentations at 2 p.m. and 3 p.m. by Debbie Demmer, New Jersey Beekeeper member. Demmer will discuss beekeeping, demonstrate the clothing and tools used by beekeepers, and show an observational hive complete with a queen bee.

Throughout the afternoon, Fred Schoenagel III, a research scientist with the USDA Natural Resources Conservation Service, will lead activities in a soil pit. Participants will learn about the importance of and the nurturing of good soil.

At 4 p.m., Dr. Patricia Pongracz, executive director of MMHM, will lead a garden tour, which will highlight the various uses of the Museum’s historic gardens during the last

200 years.

There is no admission fee for visitors, but pre-registration is required. Contact Cynthia Winslow, museum educator at 973-538-2404, ext. 16 or cwinslow@maccullochhall.org.

The gardens at Macculloch Hall were planted in 1810 by the first residents, George and Louisa Macculloch (17751858, 1785-1863, respectively), and have been in continuous cultivation for more than 200 years. Cultivars in the historic gardens include the wisteria trellised along the rear porch, which was given to the Macculloch family by Commodore Matthew Perry in 1857; the sassafras tree at the far end of the lawn, believed to be the second oldest and largest sassafras tree in New Jersey; and heirloom roses, with cultivars dated before 1920. One rose, known only as the “Old Macculloch Hall Rose,” likely dates to the earliest part of the gardens’ history.

Today, the landscaped grounds are planted for seasonal bloom: daffodils, tulips, and other bulbs welcome spring, followed by the historic wisteria in May, roses in June, dahlias in August, and a selection of perennials throughout the summer and fall. The grounds also feature a large kitchen garden, comprising four beds, which serves as an outdoor classroom.

Planted with herbs and tomatoes, this garden is a fitting tribute to George Macculloch, who is believed to have grown the first tomato recorded in NJ in 1829.

MHHM preserves the history of the Macculloch-Miller

families, the Morris area community, and the legacy of its founder W. Parsons Todd through its historic site, collections, exhibitions, gardens, and educational and cultural programs.

The gardens are open daily, free to the public from 9 a.m.-5 p.m.

Go to www.maccullochhall.org for more information.

MUA Reaches Record Mark In Discarded Tires, Many Found In Mt. Olive

orris County’s mosquito control crews this winter passed the 60,000 mark in the collection of illegally discarded or abandoned tires, which are found mostly in difficult-to-get-to wooded and swampy areas in all sections of the county, creating perfect breeding grounds for millions of mosquitoes that wreak havoc on picnics and baseball games and walks through nature in Morris County each year.

That total of 60,346 and counting dates back to 2001 when the tire collection program began, in concert with the Morris County Municipal Utilities Authority, which helps with disposal of piles of tires found each year.

“The best offense is a good defense, so crews spent the winter collecting discarded, abandoned tires, which are a favorite breeding ground for mosquitoes,’’ said Kris McMorland, Director of the Morris County Division of Mosquito Control.

Tires have been collected at some 1,200 locations in 37 of the county’s 39 towns over the past decade. The most have been found in Rockaway Township, Mt. Olive and Jefferson.

“The people who discard tires don’t do any of us humans a favor, though they certainly are the friends of mosquitoes who love those tires,’’ added McMorland. “They provide a great breeding habitat for mosquitoes because they hold water, are nice and dark, plus they heat up pretty

well."

Mosquitoes can breed by the tens of thousands in just one illegally discarded tire, McMorland said.

“We strongly encourage residents not to illegally discard tires for environmental and aesthetic reasons and, of course, to prevent mosquito infestation,’’ said Freeholder John Cesaro, who is the county governing board’s liaison to the Mosquito Control Division. “Please, do the right thing. Find the proper way to get rid of your old tires,’’ he added.

Starting in the late fall and early winter and continuing into March each year, a small team of county mosquito control crews on foot and all-terrain vehicles and trucks head into the backwoods and swamps, wade into rivers, and patrol along roadsides to find and remove discarded tires as a first line of defense against mosquito-borne viruses.

“Removing abandoned or illegally dumped tires not only helps reduce mosquito levels and the threat of West Nile virus, but improves environmental quality,’’ said McMorland.

County residents should check with their towns to see if tires are accepted at local recycling centers. If not, the MUA accepts old tires on Saturdays only at the Parsippany Transfer Station (Not the Mount Olive transfer station).

The cost is $200 per ton or about $2 for each car tire or $8

for a set of four car tires, off the rim. Some towns will accept a limited number of tires for free and others charge, so you should check with your individual town about costs.

To check for rules about using the MUA transfer station please visit: http://www.mcmua.com/sw_ts.asp (and scroll to the bottom). Residents should call the MUA at 973-2858389 to get more and accurate information.

Thomas Edison – His Hallmark Of Personal Success – A Super Garage

By Michele Guttenberger he hallmark of every successful businessman is to own a family mansion and to have a state of the art garage.

Thomas Edison had both.

His Glenmont estate home in West Orange that he purchased in 1886 was the decorating and design concept of the former owner Henry C Pedder. However, Edison’s garage was his own innovative design and creation that he built in 1908. Edison oversaw the construction himself because it was an entirely new creation in building construction.

Building his private garage helped him to launch his new business venture – a patented technique of constructing mass-produced, poured-cement houses using iron molds. His garage and the original Yankee stadium became the same cement poured by his own Edison Portland Cement company.

Since Thomas Edison was in the vehicle battery business, he owned electric cars. And in 1908 his garage included battery charging stations for them. Edison invented the alkaline storage battery in 1901 and spent years

perfecting it for use in automobiles. Edison also had a gasoline filling pump in his garage for his 1922 Model T Ford – a gift from his good friend Henry Ford.

The awesome custom feature of Edison’s Garage is the car turntable to help park his vehicles. A hand crank rotated the resting car to a desired parking position. The driver never had to struggle backing the car into a spot, the turntable did the navigating.

The garage helped turn Edison into an involved family man too. The garage gave him the liberty to tinker with his sons Theodore and Charles on home built motorized projects. At the age of 10, Charles Edison, future governor of NJ, built with his dad a workable vehicle from a two cycle marine engine and a drive belt.

Today the garage houses a 1911 Detroit Electric, a 1914 Detroit Electric, a 1922 Ford Model T, a 1908 Locomobile and a 1936 Brewster. The garage is available for public viewing by reservation.

The Glenmont Estate is also part of the National Historic Park in West Orange accessible by visiting the factory Lab visitor center

for the schedule and reservation car and ticket passes. It is located inside the private residential Llewellyn Park community. Visit website for more info https://www.nps.gov/edis/ planyourvisit/basicinfo.htm.
