Operation Appreciation - Supporting Our Troops

S

E

By Henry M. Holden very November, the Youth Enjoying Service (Y.E.S.) Ministry, at Resurrection Parish, launches Operation Appreciation to support troops deployed in Afghanistan.

This year, the collection took place on Nov. 4 and 5.

Lorraine Scandariato, director of Religious Education at Resurrection Parish in Randolph first brought the idea to the parish in 2009. In 2014, the Youth Enjoying Service Ministry took over the challenge supported by co-ministers Beth Manzi and Jen Baxter.

Resurrection Parish participates by collecting donated items such as socks, cereal, gum, cookies, playing cards, hand warmers, wet wipes, healthy snacks, beef jerky, tuna, protein bars, CLIF bars and hygiene products such as shampoo, body wash, toothbrushes and toothpaste. The group then sorts the products, and until last year, assembled the “care” packages.

“The YES Ministry, usually contributes supplies for about 275 individual boxes,” said Baxter. “Before last year, we would pack the boxes at church, and then deliver them already packed to Brighton Cromwell

who combines them with other donations, and then ships them all together.”

Brighton Cromwell is a certified small business supply chain integrator providing procurement and logistics to the military.

Each year they send over 1,000 “care” packages compiled from Operation Appreciation to the troops in Afghanistan.

973-330-1958 • 908-465-4202

“Last year, Brighton Cromwell initiated the event where all the charitable organizations and school groups, came together on the same day, and worked on assembling the packages,” said Baxter. “They organize a town-wide collection. Last year was the first time they organized the event continued on page 4

Butt Out And Regain Your Health

tatistics show that 70% of current smokers actually want to quit smoking, but find it too difficult. In fact, millions of these people try to quit smoking every year, but several do not succeed. If you are one of these people, then you already know how difficult it can be. Research shows that Nicotine can be just as addictive as hardcore drugs like heroin and cocaine.

When conventional methods of quitting fail, smokers often look to alternative medicine for assistance. Acupuncture, a successful alternative and holistic approach, has converted a growing number of cigarette smokers into permanent ex-smokers. Did you know that Acupuncture is now court mandated in some cases for the treatment of drug addictions?

This is because Acupuncture has been proven to reduce

cravings and alleviate the unwanted withdrawal symptoms like anxiety, irritability and difficulty concentrating. Results from one study, conducted at the University of Oslo in Norway, showed that Acupuncture significantly reduced the desire to smoke for up to five years following the initial treatment. Subjects from the study also reported that the taste of cigarettes was much worse following the Acupuncture treatment. So, the treatments actually help to reduce the patient’s taste for tobacco.

So you are probably wondering how Acupuncture actually helps you to butt out. The simple answer to this question is that Acupuncture helps to put the body back into balance.

Any time we have a symptom, illness, disease, or in this case withdrawal or addiction, it means that there is an imbalance of some sort in the body.

This imbalance is corrected with the insertion of tiny needles into the body. Acupuncture has a profound affect on all of the human body’s complex systems (in the case of smoking addiction-the nervous system, the circulatory system and the respiratory system) and the treatments help to correct any imbalances in the body.

The Acupuncture treatments are focused on eliminating the withdrawal symptoms associated with the addiction.

So in addition to promoting relaxation, Acupuncture helps to reduce cravings, jitters, anxiety, irritability and restlessness.

The treatments are tailored to the individual, based on specific needs. Generally, tiny needles are inserted into various points on the ears and body to assist with the smoking cessation. The needles are usually retained for about 30 minutes, during which patients are en-

couraged to relax or even take a nap.

In addition, here are some helpful lifestyle and dietary changes that can make quitting smoking easier: - Drink Lobelia or Green Tea during the detox period to help discourage nicotine cravings.

These teas help to rid the body of toxins and Green Tea, in particular, is a natural substance that helps to reduce Cortisol (the stuff that is released when our bodies are under stress).

- Drink plenty of water. Dryness can increase cravings for cigarettes.

- Take deep breaths! Oxygen is free and it helps to calm us down and give us energy. (Tip: A quick and easy breathing exercise: Breath in deeply for a count of 10 seconds and exhale for a total count of 10 seconds).

- Avoid junk food, sugar and coffee. These substances can continued on page 4

where we put 800 packages together at their Canfield Avenue facility. This year, we will be putting together care packages at Brighton Cromwell on December 2.”

Last year, high school seniors Jack McConvery and Jack Daleo organized the event and were chairing it.

“But these young men went off to college this year,” said Baxter, “so, the torch was passed along,” to their siblings.

Jim McConvery and Andrew Daleo, the younger brothers of the pair, will be taking over in organizing the effort.

“I’ve been doing this since my freshman year,” said the 16-year-old Jim McConvery. “I am a junior in high school now, and originally my older brother Jack and his friend Jack Daleo

chaired Operation Appreciation. So, I took over along with Andrew Daleo, when they left.”

Also in the picture this year to help chair the event is Abby McConvery, Jim’s sister. A freshman who has volunteered in two prior years, Abby will be co-chairing with her brother Jim and Andrew Daleo.

“We also like to make sure that each box contains a handmade craft and a card or two,” said Jim McConvery “We write the greeting cards, and encourage parishioners when they come to mass to sign a card.

We take raw stock paper and markers and craft items and create nice designs.

“We all feel this is a worthwhile effort to be involved in, and we have the side benefit of having fun doing it,” he said.

Send Jewish Holiday Fun To College Kids

T

he Chabad of Randolph’s Cteens will send meaningful care packages to Jewish students who are away from home during the holidays.

It’s fun to receive holiday treats and well wishes from home and their Jewish community. The students will get the opportunity to feel the holiday and continue the traditions, even while away from home.

The goal is to forge a relation-

ship between the Jewish community and college students, and to provide not just cute gifts and delicious snacks, but to also impart important information in a fun way.

Those interested should provide a college student’s address and provide the shipping costs. For more information or to sign someone up, email CteenRandolph@gmail.com.

Local Dentist Teaches Implant Procedures

D

r. Ira Goldberg, a leading local authority on dental implants, spent a recent weekend educating other dentists regarding implant procedures.

Goldberg was visited at his private office in Succasunna by six dentists and one lab technician to view an “All-On-Four” procedure. All-On-Four is a

revolutionary dental implant option to help people who have failing teeth acquire a new smile in just one appointment. Whether one suffers from extensive cavities, gum disease, generalized tooth pain or dentures that move around and hurt, the All-On-Four procedure transforms people’s lives in just one day.

“Dental implants have revolutionized patients’ options,” said Goldberg. “Not all patients require an All-On-Four procedure, but if they do, it’s great to be able to offer them the opportunity to fix years of problems in just one day, and provide them with teeth that don’t have to be taken in-and-out of their mouths like traditional dentures.”

Goldberg’s Sunday was spent at St. Barnabas Hospital in The Bronx, where he educated 40 dentists regarding CT scans and guided surgery.

“Guided surgery allows dentists to place implants with exquisite precision, usually within fractions of millimeters,” said Goldberg. “This allows us to protect our patients from harm, complete procedures with increased speed and comfort and increase the chances of successful outcomes.”

When asked about his role as an educator to other dentists, Goldberg said: “I’ve always heard that when you’re passionate about something, it shows. I’ve been providing implant services for over 22 years, and I’m always excited about it.

I guess that’s why other doctors and dental professionals ask me for my thoughts, help and guidance. It’s quite an honor. I love to share.”

Goldberg holds many honors in the field of implant dentistry. He is a diplomate of the American Board of Oral Implantology /Implant Dentistry, and a fellow of the American Academy of Implant Dentistry.

Regarding his diplomate status, there are only a few hundred dentists world-wide that hold this distinction. Goldberg is the owner of Morris County Dental Associates in Succasunna.

Did You Know?

ccording to the U.S. Department of Energy, controlling moisture in a home can make the home more energy-efficient. Controlling moisture improves the effectiveness of air sealing and insulation, decreasing heating and cooling costs and helping to conserve energy as a result.

The DOE notes that moisture problems can exist anywhere building components are below grade. This can include basements, crawlspaces and slab-on-grade foundations.

Basements are notorious for moisture issues, but such prob-

lems can be prevented. Basement water leakage is most often the byproduct of water flowing through holes or cracks in the basement walls. Water also may wick into the cracks and pores of building materials such as masonry blocks, concrete or wood. Homeowners who suspect they have moisture problems in their basements should consult with a professional contractor, as the correct approach to fixing the issue may depend on a host of factors, including local climate, the style of construction and the existing insulation.

“It’s such a great cause,” said Cox, a junior. “We always have such great spirit during this game.”

Morris County Surgeon Seeks Kidney Donor To Save His Life

I

By Dawn M Chiossi n the most ironic of twists, Dr. Marc Rubman, an orthopedic surgeon who has been helping patients for two decades, now needs a kidney transplant.

He is asking the public at large to become living kidney donors.

Disease can be insidious and unmerciful, and unfortunately no one is immune. Rubman’s kidneys failed in 2015, due to polycystic kidney disease, a condition that he inherited from his mother.

Rubman is searching for living donors, because sadly, his condition also afflicts his family as well, so they are unable to donate their own kidney to him.

With polycystic kidney disease, the kidneys start to grow cysts, unlike a normal kidney which is cyst free. The cysts then keep growing until they crowd out the normal kidney.

Unfortunately then, the kidneys will eventually stop working.

With this particular condition there is no cure. It is the fourth leading cause of kidney failure.

Originally getting involved in the medical profession because he wanted to help others, the irony of his situation is not lost on him. Instead of being bitter, Rubman chooses to see his condition as a blessing.

“This has really given me

a perspective of what patients go though, what it’s like on the other side,” he says. “In a way, it has given me a real appreciation of what is important.”

When people think of gifts, they often think of something tangible that gives joy for only a short time, but with the gift of organ donation, it is a gift that resonates and echoes throughout a lifetime. Just by making that one choice, that one compassionate act, organ donation can save a life.

By being a living donor, a person will see just how meaningful the gift of living donation is. It enriches both the donor and recipient.

Even though he has been struggling with this condition for several years, Rubman refuses to let his condition get him down.

“This is a disease that unfortunately is very common, more common than you realize,” Rubman says. “And it’s one that no one’s ever heard of. People are aware of Parkinson’s because of Michael J Fox, and they are aware of ALS because of the ice bucket challenge, but not PKD.” Rubman seeks to change that.

Most people are born with two viable kidneys. In a surprising fact that most people do not know, they only need the power of one to live well.

So when donating a kidney to

someone else, the quality of the donor’s life is not affected, but it can be a matter of life and death to the recipient.

With an approximate two day stay in the hospital, doctors can remove the “spare,” kidney from the living donor and then he or she recovers in a matter of weeks.

Most people are familiar with organ donation in regards to donating organs after death, but in donating a living organ such as a kidney, the results are immediate.

With a donation from a deceased donor, the wait can be up to an agonizing 10 years.

Rubman is candid with what he is facing and what he is asking of others.

“Living donation is an amazing thing,” he asserts. “Due to advances in medicine people can be helped so much more, now than in the past.” Realizing that people are leery about making such a commitment, he is empathetic. “The procedure now is less invasive than in the past, recovery time is relatively short,” he says. “In fact,” he discloses, “the donor will be “back to normal within a few weeks.”

Recalling seeing what his mother endured when she was suffering with her own kidney disease, Rubman is astounded.

“The difference is crazy,” he says. “It’s phenomenal.”

But first people have to

make the decision to donate. It can be as simple as filling out an application, getting a simple blood test and then getting screened.

Facing illness is a frightening experience, but with a wonderful treatment such as organ donation at the helm, folks can triumph. Recipients can go from patients to survivors, and donors can go from strangers to heroes.

While waiting for a donor Rubman lives his life going to dialysis three times a week, for a total of 15 hours. Rubman still gives his time and energies to the world, works part time and enjoys being a husband, father, brother and family man.

“I am so grateful,” Rubman shares. “I have such great support from family and friends.

In a way I am so lucky; this is such a life-changing event and I’ve learned what’s important in life.”

Pumpkins Make Way Into Classroom For Fall Learning

ernbrook students enjoyed solving pumpkin challenges in each class with pumpkins grown in the school’s Outdoor Education Center.

Teacher Jenise Janulis said that students planted pumpkin seeds last winter and some of the organic heirloom seeds grew into pumpkin plants that remained in the Grow Labs until spring. Then Green Team members, students who participate in the school’s gardening club, planted them outside in the school’s Outdoor Educational Center. During the summer, students in the Summer STEAM program and Fernbrook

B

families cared for the plants which grew flowers, were pollinated by bees and grew into pumpkins. Finally, the Green Team members picked pumpkins.

“These pumpkins truly grew from the care and dedication of so many Fernbrook Students,’’ said Janulis, who is also the advisor for the Green Team.

So Janulis and media specialist Michelle Savvides created pumpkin activities for students in each grade level.

Students were asked to answer pumpkin-related questions, many of which involved mathematics.

Vietnam Memorial – The Wall That Heals

con

T

By Henry M. Holden he Vietnam Memorial (The Wall), in Washington, D.C., stands as a symbol of America’s honor and recognition of the men and women who served and sacrificed their lives in the Vietnam War. Three million Americans served during the war and inscribed on the 10-foot high black granite walls are the names of more than 58,200 men and women who gave their lives or remain missing; more than the Korean, War, Iraq War and Afghanistan War combined.

The Memorial was dedicated on Nov. 13, 1982, 35 years ago, and attracts more than 5.6 million visitors each year.

On The Wall, there are 1,487 names of New Jersey men and one N.J. woman, Capt. Eleanor Grace Alexander, of Westwood. But, the passing years are making it harder to remember their names. They came from almost every county and from towns such as Budd Lake, Morristown, Caldwell, Wayne, Short Hills and Long Valley.

The war touched thousands of N.J. families, and every Veteran’s Day they remember a husband, wife, uncle, brother, sister,

The Wall often brings closure to those who knew a name on the wall, and to some survivors, the thought of how bless-

“The number of names was and remains incomprehensible,” says Army veteran Rich Reck of Randolph. “I felt and still feel a deep sense of gratitude for their and continued on page 21

their families’ sacrifices. As a fellow veteran, I realize it was by the grace of God that my name isn’t on that Wall.”

Jan Scruggs, a Purple Heart Vietnam veteran, created the vision of the memorial. “It would help veterans heal,” he said. “Its mere existence would be societal recognition that their sacrifices were honorable rather than dishonorable. Veterans needed this, and so did the nation. Our country needed something symbolic to help heal our wounds.”

Vietnam Memorial Wall designer Maya Lin, was a 21-yearold Yale student when her proposal for the black stone monument won the largest design competition in American history. In fact, she beat her art teacher’s submission. Lin was born in Athens, Ohio, several years after her parents fled Chi-

na due to its Communist takeover in 1949.

Although she designed an apolitical monument, the politics of the Vietnam War could not be avoided. Some veteran’s groups decried the lack of patriotic or heroic symbols often seen on war memorials. But the admirers of the Wall far outnumber the critics.

“I was passing Washington, and took a detour to visit the wall,” said one Marine veteran from Randolph who did not want to give his name. “The reverence shown by the visitors so moved me. It was as if I was visiting a holy place. While some people were taking pictures, or making rubbings, they all showed a quiet respect.”

For those of us who have visited the wall it is a memorial one will never forget. For many it unlocks memories, and begins the healing process.

T

he holidays are filled with temptations and opportunities to over-indulge, and if you’re managing your health and weight, the season can feel anything but merry.

Depriving yourself of your favorite holiday treats isn’t only unpleasant, it’s also unnecessary. Many experts recommend that instead, you focus on building a healthier lifestyle through a well-balanced, longterm eating plan. For example, Atkins offers a balanced approach with foods containing fiber-rich and nutrient-dense carbohydrates, as well as good fats and proteins, while focusing on reduced levels of refined carbohydrates and added sugars. When preparing your holiday menu, look for recipes that contain adequate protein, healthy fats and high-fiber carbohydrates, and you’ll be able to enjoy the flavors of the season without guilt.

Learn more about the benefits of a balanced, low-carb approach to eating at Atkins.com.

3 garlic cloves, minced 2 tablespoons fresh rosemary, thinly sliced Heat oven to 350 F. In small skillet over medium heat, cook pork loin, fatty-side down, 4-5 minutes to brown top and render some fat.

Coat 7-by-11-inch baking dish with cooking spray. Place pork loin in dish.

In small bowl, combine mustard, garlic and rosemary; stir well. Spoon mixture over pork. Transfer to oven and bake 45 minutes-1 hour, until loin is cooked through but still slightly pink in center.

Slice and serve immediately.

blend until smooth. If cream cheese clumps slightly, mix with rubber spatula, breaking up bits of cream cheese against side of bowl.

Sprinkle mixture with xanthan gum, if desired, and mix about 30 seconds. Mixture will thicken slightly.

Cover tray that will fit into freezer with sheet of wax paper. Using soup spoon, scoop mixture onto tray, making 18 mounds. Alternatively, use two silicone candy molds or empty ice cube tray coated with olive oil spray and press cheesecake mixture into 18 molds. Sprinkle with sea salt.

Freeze at least one hour before serving.

Tip: Switch up flavors by using sugar-free hazelnut syrup in place of caramel and hazelnuts or walnuts instead of almonds.

Randolph Joins Stigma-Free Initiative To Help Those With Mental Illness

T

he Randolph Township Council this week passed a resolution to declare the township Stigma-Free, making it the 24th town to join the Morris County “Stigma Free’’ initiative that aims to help eradicate the stigma associated with mental illness and substance abuse disorders.

The grassroots initiative recognizes the high prevalence of mental illness and substance use disorders in communities, and promotes re-education and understanding that can help lead to treatment and recovery – minus the stigma associated with these illnesses.

“I am very happy that Randolph has joined the Morris County Stigma-Free initiative,’’ said Randolph Mayor Christine Carey. “This initiative recognizes that the stigma associated with mental illness, including substance abuse disorders, has been identified as the primary reason individuals fail to seek help. We want to create a culture in our community that supports our residents in asking for help and in seeking

W

treatment.”

Randolph joins a majority of Morris County municipalities that have signed on as Stigma-Free communities.

“This initiative is an important step in helping affected people seek recovery, without fear of stigma or reprisal,’’ said Morris County Freeholder Director Doug Cabana. “But it is only support shown for this Stigma-Free initiative by towns like Randolph, and their officials and residents, that can make this grassroots effort succeed.’’

The Morris County Board of Freeholders in 2016 passed a resolution designating Morris County as a Stigma-Free County and asked the county’s 39 towns to consider enrolling.

Morris County has created a Stigma Free website www.morriscountystigmafree.org to call attention to the initiative, provide information and resources, and a calendar of upcoming events related to mental illness and substance abuse. A Stigma Free Toolkit also is available for towns and communities.

Unite With Others At Mega Challa Bake

omen over the age of 18 are invited on Thursday Nov. 30, 7 p.m. to 9 p.m., to join other Jewish women at the Senior Citizen Center in Randolph to do a very special mitzva in memory of a very special lady – Linda Koval. At the event, led

by Rochie Pinson, author of “Rising - The Book of Challah,” participants will learn how to create handmade challa, mixing, kneading and shape their own traditional challa. The event is being organized by a two-sister team, Shlomit and Netanya Koval.

The purpose of the evening is to foster community, unity and sisterhood between all segments of the Jewish community. Challa in its more

widely-known usage refers to a braided bread traditionally eaten at Shabbat and other holidays, and is considered one of the most famous Jewish foods.

But in its more basic, biblical meaning, challa is the piece of dough that is traditionally separated and consecrated to God while baking bread, a custom that has been performed by Jewish women for more than 100 generations. To be able to make their challa with many other Jewish women will display the unity in this community.

For more information and to RSVP, email: RandolphChallahBake@gmail.com. Questions, contact Netanya Koval at 973723-7076. Tickets are $18, to cover costs.

Cinderella: A Holiday Musical Premieres At The Growing Stage

T

he Growing Stage, The Children’s Theatre of New Jersey, located in the Historic Palace Theatre in Netcong will celebrate the holidays with Cinderella: A Holiday Musical from Nov. 24 through Dec. 17 with performances Fridays at 7:30 p.m., Saturday and Sunday matinees at 4 p.m.

A musical by Alyn Cardarelli and Steve Goers, Cinderella: A Holiday Musical, was originally produced in 2003 by Emerald City Theatre in Chicago, Ill. This production is under the direction of Lori B.

This swashbuckling Cinderella just needs a little help from her fairy Godmother and one ratty footman to find her happy ending. The piece comes from Chicago’s Emerald City and this adaption of everyone’s favorite fairy tale is a musical holiday wish come true.

The Growing Stage brings back Fun-tastic Fridays with all tickets $15. Saturday and Sunday tickets are $25 for adults, $20 for seniors and $15 for children. Also, Season Ticket Packages and Group rates are available. To purchase tickets, visit www.growingstage.com or contact (973) 347-4946.

Students Engage In Virtual Reality Learning

R

andolph Middle School students have the opportunity to learn using the latest Virtual Reality technology in their technology and computer classes.

Teacher Dr. Ned Sheehy said he is using the Vive Virtual Reality (VR) technology to expand students’ experiences and interactions in the classroom.

“VR delivers an innovative way to engage and capture the attention of students of all ages,” Sheehy said. “Virtual Reality immerses students in an experience, stimulating their imagination in ways that books, pictures, or videos cannot. Improving and lengthening the learning experience is at the core of what Virtual Reality can deliver to students, thereby enhancing knowledge retention through deep and captivating personal experience.”

In addition, Virtual Reality allows children to explore

Special!

simulated environments and locations they would never have the chance to experience in the real world in a safe and economical manner, he said.

“Imagine the learning that takes place when students explore the inside of a blood vessel, travel through an atom, or walk into the Roman Coliseum.”

In a recent class, students took turns using the Virtual Reality system to find their home in Randolph, explore the architecture of the Roman Coliseum and visit other foreign places where they had never been.

Students are using Virtual Reality to study geography, history, biology, art and sociology.

RMS Principal Dr. Dennis Copeland said “The technology allows students to be creative and imagine endless possibilities to a problem.”

The middle school’s Vive Virtual Reality Technology was

funded by grants from the Randolph Middle School PTO and

the Randolph Education Foundation.

Rivals Team Up To Blue Out Bullying

R

oxbury put aside its rivalry with Randolph to team up for a great cause!

The two high school cheerleading teams came together at Roxbury High School in mid-October to raise money for bullying prevention awareness.

Gail LaCosta, Franklin Elementary School Counselor and RHS Cheerleading Coach

said, “Cheerleaders came together at Roxbury High School to dye 700 pairs of socks, and then sold them to students, family members, school staff, and community members to wear to the “Blue out Bullying” game hosted by Randolph High School. The two teams combined raised over a $2,000 donation to bullying prevention.”
