Story By Randolph Writer Appears in New Book: ‘Chicken Soup For The Soul: Lessons Learned From My Cat’

Cats are often much more clever than we give them credit for, and that was certainly the case for a beautiful long-haired calico cat named Raisin, who hatched an ingenious scheme to banish two Scottish terriers from her Randolph home.

Raisin’s plot is chronicled in a story called “Socked,” written by Randolph author Robert Grayson and published in the new book titled “Chicken Soup for the Soul: Lessons Learned from My Cat”.

Raisin was the top cat in her home, shared with another cat named Patches, when Grayson’s parents adopted two adorable Scottish terriers, Mac and Duff. The pooches irritated Raisin no end, and she noticed that Grayson’s father would scold them whenever they did anything wrong. The dogs quickly caught on to the house rules and rarely made the same mistake twice.

Unbeknownst to the dogs, Raisin devised an inspired nocturnal plan to repeatedly cast the canine intruders in a bad light, in hopes of getting them kicked out of her house for good. Alas, the sinister plot was eventually brought to light and the culprit forced to share her digs with the dogs.

An award-winning former daily newspaper reporter, Grayson is the author of numerous books for young adults. He has written books about animal actors, animals in the

military, and working animals, as well as the American Revolution, Civil War spies, the Roosevelts, and Estee Lauder. This is his third story to appear as part of the “Chicken Soup for the Soul” franchise.

“Chicken Soup for the Soul: Lessons Learned from My Cat” includes 101 touching, inspiring, and sometimes mind-boggling stories about all the ways in which cats enrich our lives, become part of our families, and make us better people. Royalties from the book go to American Humane, which was founded in 1877 and is committed to ensuring the safety, welfare, and well-being of all animals, as well as strengthening the bond between animals and people.

In keeping with Chicken Soup for the Soul’s support for pet adoption and shelters, the 101 stories chosen for the book from thousands of submissions are not only inspirational and fun, but also feature rescued cats, including black cats and senior cats, the categories of cats that are often left behind at shelters. It’s part of Chicken Soup for the Soul’s mission to make people think “shelter first” when they’re considering adding a new pet to their families.

“Chicken Soup for the Soul: Lessons Learned from My Cat” is available in bookstores and online.

Dental implants have improved the lives of countless individuals throughout the world. Within the U.S. alone, it is estimated that 5 million implants are placed each year. There are a lot of reasons why people seek out dental implants: increased chewing ability over dentures, improved esthetics, not having to cut down adjacent teeth for bridgework, and the fact you can’t get a cavity on a dental implant are some

examples.

However, many people unfortunately believe that things can’t go wrong with dental implants: that they are indestructible and will last forever. This is a misconception. Dental implants do have very high success rates: they can extend over 95%. Unfortunately things can go wrong. This article addresses some of these issues, and what can be done for a failing implant.

you. We understand all you want is just one implant for the front tooth that broke “on a piece of soft bread.” However, the rest of the teeth in your mouth can affect that “one tooth.”

New Patient Special

Health: Your health is a leading factor. Systemic diseases affect your whole body, and your mouth is not isolated from your body. Diabetes, thyroid activity, autoimmune diseases, and osteoporosis are examples of conditions that require discussions with your implantologist. Smoking is a social activity that can negatively affect not just your health, but also dental implants.

Medications: certain medications, such as SSRIs, SNRIs, and PPIs can affect bone metabolism and put dental implant patients at risk for complications.

Past History of Gum Disease: a past history of gum disease increases a person’s risk of having dental implant complications.

Bite Patterns / Occlusion: replacing one or more missing teeth without paying attention to the condition of your remaining teeth can be extremely destructive to dental implants. Your dentist is not trying to “oversell” you when they discuss this with

Complexity of the Presenting Problem: Not all situations are equal. Two people presenting for a dental implant for the same tooth can have polar opposite presenting conditions. One person may have a large amount of available bone, while the next person may have very little bone and the location is near important anatomy, such as a sinus or nerve.

Depending upon the level of the problem, different modalities are available. Reshaping of bone, grafting, treatment with different medications or chemicals, or laser treatments are options. If the problem is advanced enough, implant removal is oftentimes advised. Not removing a failing or infected implant can affect surrounding teeth or implants.

$149 Cleaning, Exam, Full Set of Films Regularly $362.00

So what do you do about an implant that is starting to lose bone, develop deep pockets, bleeds, or is tender? Or sometimes you’re not even aware of problems, and your dentist or hygienist is making you aware of concerns. There are two terms: “periimplant mucositis” and “peri-implantitis” used often within dental implantology. The first identifies that there is no bone loss around your implant and the problem is limited to the gums, and the second indicates you are starting to see bone loss.

Treatments for peri-implant mucositis include maintenance: no surgery or advanced therapy is necessary. Improved homecare and more frequent professional cleanings are usually all that is necessary.

Peri-implantitis requires intervention.

You should not necessarily expect the dentist who placed your implant to be capable of treating peri-implantitis. They may not have the proper equipment, supplies, or be aware of the techniques. By no means is this a negative reflection upon the practitioner: interception of an ailing or failing implant can be very difficult, and the knowledge base changes often.

Success rates of treating failing implants is not always very high: please remember the treatment is not being performed in a “bubble.” The factors mentioned above come into play: a person’s health, smoking history, past history of gum disease, etc. So you may go through an entire rehabilitation process for the implant(s), and still have a negative outcome.

Fees for implant rehabilitation vary greatly, depending upon the extent of the problem. However, these procedures can be expensive, and no guarantees can

Are You Sick and Tired of Being Sick and Tired? Exploring Another Treatment Option for Chronic Fatigue Syndrome

Chronic fatigue immunodeficiency syndrome (CFIS) also known as myalgic encephalomyelitis (ME) is a disabling and poorly understood illness that is becoming more widespread in Western countries. CFIS is a term used to describe a myriad of neurological, neuromuscular, and immunological abnormalities. The initial onset of CFIS consists of flu-like symptoms including fever, sore throat, tender lymph nodes, chills and extreme fatigue. The chronic manifestations of CFIS always include disabling fatigue but can also include muscle and joint pain, sleep disorders, headaches, hypo- or hypersensitivities, cognitive disorders, depression, malaise, anxiety, irritability, confusion, weight fluctuations, abdominal pain, nausea and vomiting, muscle fatigue, worsening PMS, visual disturbances, tachycardia, paresthesias, dry eyes, dry mouth, night sweats, skin rashes and decreased sexual desire.

The etiology of CFIS is still unknown, but the suspected cause is a viral infection. Some researchers believe that CFIS is actually a neurological response to a viral infection. Since there are no absolute markers or lab tests to confirm the illness, chronic fatigue immunodeficiency syndrome is often diagnosed by symptoms alone and by process of elimination. For the same reasons, western medicine has no treatment for chronic

fatigue. Instead, doctors prescribe individual medications to deal with each of the associated symptoms.

As with any illness, traditional Chinese medicine treats the individual on a case- bycase basis. A diagnosis is made based on the individual’s symptoms as well as their tongue and pulse presentations. The patient’s tongue is inspected and 6 pulses are felt on each wrist in order for the Acupuncturist/ Chinese Medical Practitioner to determine the diagnosis. Since chronic fatigue manifests differently in each person, this method of diagnosing is superior. The treatment plan is then formulated based on the individual’s diagnosis. As you can see in the chart- one Acupuncture treatment plan will address all of the individual’s symptoms as well as the illness as a whole. This is known as a root and branch treatment. Addressing the root cause of the chronic fatigue is addressing the illness as a whole while treating the branch aims to relieve all of the symptoms associated with the illness. A single Chinese herbal formula can also be prescribed to treat both the root and branch of the chronic fatigue syndrome.

Roxbury High School Recognized with Safety Award

During the 2023 International Builders Show hosted by the National Association of Home Builders, Roxbury High School was recognized with the NAHB/ Builders Mutual Insurance Company Safety Award for Excellence (SAFE) for a student chapter.

Roxbury High School’s Structural Design & Fabrication (SDF) Teacher, Frank Caccavale, was in Las Vegas to accept the award and was joined by members of the Metropolitan Builders and Contractors Association of New Jersey, our local chapter of NAHB.

Roxbury High School is the only student chapter of NAHB in the state of New Jersey.

RHS and Frank Caccavale were recognized for their commitment to student safety in the school technology and engineering education courses.

Students enrolled in SDF begin their program by earning their OSHA 10-hour in Construction card, a certification that Caccavale has become an authorized outreach trainer in.

Safety is infused throughout the entire course. Caccavale explained, “I believe that a high school’s two greatest responsibilities are to ensure student safety, and to help

prepare them for life after high school, in that order! Our program’s safety curriculum and plan accomplish both of these goals simultaneously. Our class begins each year with a rigorous safety curriculum that leads to OSHA 10-Hour certification in construction, and safety remains a core tenant of the curriculum throughout the entire course.”

Caccavale has served as a reviewer and a presenter on critical student safety documents and resources created by the International Technology and Engineering Educators Association.

Roxbury’s SDF program is now in its fourth year. It officially began in September 2019 as part of Roxbury Reimagine, where the district took 2,500 square feet of space and rededicated it back as a learning environment at Roxbury High School. This area once housed the school’s auto shop and later was used for district storage.

Roxbury High School’s SDF course lays a strong foundation for college and career success by teaching students fundamentals in the field. Students learn how to work safely in the shop and construction environments and develop skills that will give them a true competitive advantage in their careers.

Students have the opportunity to work both individually and in teams to design and build projects.

One of Caccavale’s favorite projects included building a modular home in partnership with Morris Habitat for Humanity.

“Throughout the course, students gain experience and knowledge in all aspects of home building through the completion of a modular home in the school parking lot. Throughout this project, students gain skills in reading an architectural plan,

Thirty-five years ago this Spring, a few weeks shy of Easter, Elsie Walker of Landing thought it a good idea to help out her church’s Easter egg hunt by donning a bunny suit. Her pastor, who was new to the church at the time, told her that if she could find a suit, the church would be happy to

Landing Professor Enters 35th Consecutive Year as Volunteer Easter Bunny

have her. Walker found a suit on short notice—one that belonged to friend Bob Pasek, who stood at over six feet tall (she herself is only 5’4)—and wore it to the hunt, a practice she has maintained every year for nearly four decades now.

Since that inaugural year, Walker, who works as a freelance writer and professor of logic and

critical thinking at the University of Phoenix, has expanded the scope of her Easter bunny persona. Not only does she continue to make her yearly appearances at egg hunts, but she has also regularly visited nursing homes, senior citizen centers, preschools—including one which has built a fifteen-year relationship

with her—and has even entertained children via Zoom during the COVID-19 pandemic.

Some of her most memorable moments over her time as a volunteer bunny is the time she went to a children’s hospital where the kids were unable to use their hands very well. To show their support and enthusiasm, they pound on boards given to them by staff. It was inspirational to see these kids, recalls Walker, hooked up to all kinds of machines and devices, so eager to participate. She cites the ability to work with children and make people smile as her favorite part of the job.

“No question, the joy of the people when they see the bunny,” she says. “When people see the bunny, it’s almost as if they can’t help but smile.”

She often finds herself surprised by the degree to which people care about the bunny, too, as when she discovers one of the seniors she visits wearing a bunny pin on her lapel on the day Walker is scheduled to visit.

“I enjoy working with people, and it’s really wonderful to see some of their reactions,” she says.

Aside from her volunteer work in the

bunny costume, Walker has spent the last twenty years working as a professor for the esteemed University of Phoenix, where she has had the pleasure and privilege of teaching people from all walks of life and from around the globe.

“I enjoy teaching very much mainly for that reason,” Walker admits, referring to the access she has to an international audience of students. “I’ve taught a lot of military people as well—deployed,

veterans—and have worked with projects to send out care-boxes to former students that are deployed overseas. It’s been a very rewarding experience for me.”

As for her bunny costume volunteer work, Walker cites the annual community hunt—which she has been doing for almost forty years—as the height of her experience.

Most meaningful to her is seeing former participants,

framing, siding, roofing, plumbing, electrical, insulation, drywall, and more.”

“This project is done in partnership with Morris Habitat for Humanity and at the completion of the project at the school, our home gets moved by crane to a site in town, where the home is completed and a family in need moves into the home and our community.”

“This past summer, we finished our first home, and students this year have already begun the second student-built Habitat for Humanity home. In fact, our entire community rallied around our first project, and again on the second. We’ve seen members of our community donate their time to work with our students, donate products and funds to help complete the projects, and become our biggest cheerleaders and supporters, helping to elevate our students studying the skilled trades into our towns’ rockstars!”

Upon completion of the SDF pathway,

students can enter the Carpenters Apprenticeship Training program through the United Brotherhood of Carpenters. Through coursework and career guidance, students earn a competitive advantage in the job market. Whether students choose to go into a career related to the skilled trades, engineering, construction, or architecture, or just use these skills when they become homeowners, the experiences and lessons learned in SDF will stick with students for life.

“Students leave this course with not only a thorough understanding of safety and experience in residential construction but also with the confidence that they can set a goal and complete a task, whether it’s a small goal that took them just a class period to do or a large goal like building a home. Through our course, students get real world practice in skills such as work ethic, decision making, and teamwork that will prepare them for any direction life takes them after high school,” shared Caccavale.

now married, with children of their own— bring their families back and continue the cycle.

“It really is a joy to be a part of the community hunt now for two generations,” she says. “I remember one of the children, who is herself now a mother, reach for her kids and say, ‘now I want my kids to meet my bunny.’ I loved that.”

Walker is herself, not surprisingly, an Easter enthusiast.

“I have Easter eggs from all around the world, from about sixty different countries. All sorts. And I show them off whenever I can.”

When the COVID-19 pandemic struck down in early 2020, Walker went to Zoom to craft heartwarming messages for the children of the various organizations she was scheduled to visit, telling them how

much the bunny would miss them this Easter, and to stay upbeat and positive. It was a difficult task for the outgoing and affable Walker, and was certainly a disappointment to the children who were anticipating the Easter celebrations.

But all seems to have returned to form ever since. Walker is ready to throw on the bunny suit once again in 2023, and is eager to see local children’s reactions.

“The best part of it all,” she says, “really is when you see a child come up to you and sit in your lap who was too shy or afraid to do so only a year before. Between that and seeing the parents come up to me and tell me they remember so fondly when they themselves were children gathering Easter eggs during one of our egg hunts with me as the bunny, I have a lot to be thankful for.”

The Summer of 1968: The Sacred Sacrifice

By Richard Mabey Jr.

There are moments in our life, which leave a deep mark upon your heart, mind and soul, that they are simply not to be forgotten. Such a sacred moment came on a Saturday morning, in the middle of June of 1968. I was 14 years old and had just completed my freshman year at Boonton High School.

Dad and I were eating breakfast at the kitchen table at the old Mabey Homestead. Mom and my sister, Patti, had left earlier to visit Mom’s mother in Boonton. Dad and I sat at the kitchen table eating Wheaties cereal and sipping hot tea. I remember that we were talking about the big, week-long hike along the Appalachian Trail that was planned for Boy Scout Troop 170, for the next week.

Then, Dad did something a bit unusual. He took the inner bag of Wheaties, from the box and began cutting out the front and back cardboard. Then Dad did something even more unusual. He took one of the pieces of cardboard and laid it flat on the kitchen table, next to his bowl of Wheaties. Then Dad took one of his shoes and traced the bottom of his shoe onto the cardboard with a pencil. Then repeated the process with the other piece of cardboard and his other shoe.

I remember simply asking my father, “Dad, watcha doing?”

Dad then answered me with me with a smile on his face, “I’m tracing my shoes on the cardboard. I got these holes in both my shoes!” Dad then showed me the small holes in his shoes. They were big enough so that Dad could put his forefinger through both of them.

“Dad, why don’t ya’ just go and buy new shoes?” I asked my father.

Dad’s reply deeply moved my heart. “I’m a working man. I’ve got to save my money for you to be able to go to college.” And, in so few words, Dad spoke volumes.

I remember being lost for words. I remember being all so deeply moved. “I see,” was all I could conjure up to say. I never forgot that moment. Now at 69, it sometimes haunts me in my dreams. My father dropped out of high school to join the Army Air Corps during World War II. It was later in life that Dad earned his GED and attended classes at Drew University to become a Lay Leader in the Methodist Church. Despite having had dropped out of high school to serve in the Army Air Corps, my father had an immense respect and love for education. My father was one of the wisest men I have ever known.

Savor a New Way to Seafood

Adding salmon to your weekly menu can take dinnertime from drab to delicious. Combining it with bright, fresh veggies heightens the savory experience even more for a burst of seafood flavor.

Loaded with salmon and shrimp, this Salmon and Shrimp Coconut Curry is a perfect option for putting together a quick yet delicious meal.

Fast becoming a leading source of seafood worldwide, aquaculture is similar to typical agriculture but with fish, shellfish and seaweeds. Farmed seafood can be raised and harvested in either fresh or seawater, where natural conditions are recreated.

However, not all seafood you find in the grocery aisles is the same. Despite industry advances, aquaculture still faces challenges with fraud, mislabeling and questionable conditions. That’s why it’s important to look for responsible seafood products that are labeled by a trusted certification process.

For example, the Aquaculture Stewardship Council is a non-profit certification program that has created and enforced the world’s strictest and highest standards for seafood farming since 2010. Today, it is transforming the seafood industry with a new level of certification for farmed seafood. This “new way to seafood” includes:

Seafood that can be

traced all the way from the farm to the store, ensuring the seafood you buy is what it claims to be

The strictest combination of requirements to protect the environment, workers and communities on the farms where seafood is raised

Improving farmed seafood quality and safety

Vic Fiore—A ‘Remodel’ Citizen Who Brings Home Visions to Life

By Maryanne Christiano-Mistretta

Many would agree with the old cliché, “There’s no place like home.” And many would also agree that most homes could use a bit of help. Whether it’s replacing siding, remodeling a kitchen, or finishing a basement, Vic Fiore and his team at Magnolia Home Remodeling are here to help.

Vic Fiore partnered with his brother-in-law Chris Fontana back in 1996, to get the ball rolling. Both gained valuable knowledge early in the game, as Fontana’s dad was an operations specialist at Con Edison; and Fiore has been around the family business since he was 13-yearsold. Throughout high school and college he gained working experience in home remodeling and feels that nothing is better than “on the job experience.”

Fiore studied at Rutgers University and graduated with a BA in Economics. “Business interested me, and it led me to this,” he said. Well versed in many phases of construction, Fiore shared that remodeling homes was at the top of his list when it came to potential careers. “I’m very happy with the decision to be involved in this business,” he said.

Now, with over two decades in the industry, Fiore enjoys taking a project from concept from start to finish. In order to help a client create his/her vision, Fiore explains that it’s all about having a stellar team that makes the process successful.

He said, “We have consultants and project managers that understand our clients needs, goals, and budget…They work towards a proposal that can check all these boxes

and bring the project to successful completion. Permits, working towards an approved design, selecting materials, several walk throughs…Everyone understands from the beginning what the goals are. We learn what people are looking for. We have the whole package and we’re looking to build relationships with people. A large portion of our base is repeat clients.”

Though sometimes clients prefer aggressive timelines, Fiore and his team presents realistic completion dates. “We explain from the beginning that each task requires a reasonable time frame, form each phase to be succesful. We can approach it from a standpoint. If there are delays or changes, we let them know. We’re good about finishing jobs on time, and even ahead of schedule. The feedback people give us is that they are impressed with how efficiantly we complete. Its difficult to speed up a project and maintain quality. We want to minimalize stress and work carefully so attempting to get something done in a shortened time frame is never a good recipe.” Nevertheless, Fiore prides himself in that his team often finishes ahead of schedule.

When it comes to home transformations, many homeowners might be concerned about budget, but Fiore feels that even a small tweak such as new siding or a new walkway can create a refreshing vibe. “It just makes you feel good every time you pull up to your driveway,” he said.

Or remodeling your kitchen could also amp up the atmosphere. “A new kitchen with an updated layout, beautiful cabinetry, that really brings a lot of value,” Fiore expressed. “Little things you can do to make the house look

However, if sacrificing quality for the final product, it may be better to wait until budget meets expectations. If a potential client needs another six months to be able to spend more money, that’s what Fiore’s team sometime encourages people to do.

Magnolia Remodeling also offers a finance program that allows people to do more work than they normally would and pay monthly. “That’s a nice feature not every continued on page 21

According to Fiore, multiple colors and tones is a trend that seems to be continuing. “We recently completed a

project in Watchung with matte black and gold appliances against white wood and stained cabinetry,” he said. “People are taking risks and choosing exciting color combinations.”

Moving forward, Fiore’s vision for Magnolia Home Remodeling is to continue to grow organically. “We have

Bucket List Travels: Discovering the Azores

Morristown resident Paul Partridge has been building a travel bucket list for years. Now he’s diving in – near and far – and shares his adventures in this column. The Azores is a nine-island archipelago located 900 miles west of mainland Portugal. Columbus stopped here in 1492 on his famous voyage.

by Paul Partridge

If Hawaii and Ireland had a love child, the Azores is what the baby might look like.

Imagine tropical forests… dramatic cliffs… green, green rolling hills… volcanic mountains… natural hot springs… and the bluest ocean you’ve ever seen – not only in the same vacation – but within a single day’s hike. And it’s only a short 4½-hour flight from Newark.

The Gulf Stream keeps the Azores temperature remarkably consistent –never too hot or cold. As a result, nature has a chance to shine. And she does.

One example is hydrangeas. Blue, white, purple . . . the distinctive hydrangea panicles are everywhere – decorating roads and miradouras (scenic viewpoints) along the highway. Driving feels like floating through an enchanted garden.

Over four days, my three travel companions and I visited the largest island, São Miguel. (I’ll write about other Azores adventures in future articles.)

Day 1 – Brigadoon’s Swimming Hole

Twenty minutes up the coast from our Airbnb

Celebrating 50 Years

Photo

Ponta da Ferraria. A sign welcomes us to the beach. None of us speak Portuguese but we decide later it says, “Warning: Please be sure to pick your jaw off the ground before entering. It’s dangerous to swim in the ocean with your mouth open.”

Candelaria

Picture a black rock beach leading to a natural ocean pool. A rugged cliff flanks one side, glowing in the late afternoon sun. The far end is open to the ocean, and waves cascade in. Giddy bathers hold onto ropes tied across the water every 20 yards or so.

The waters are heated by thermal springs. Enter the pool near the shoreline and the water is quite warm.

Swim towards the sea and the water temperature drops.

People of all ages swim, float, bob, and tread water. Everyone is giggling. It’s almost impossible not to. If we didn’t have photographs to prove it was real, we might think it was a mirage. Day 2 – Furnas Hot Springs

São Miguel is a hiker’s paradise. Today’s trail beside Furnas Hot Springs begins with a 90-minute trek up a mountain. Our reward is picture-postcard views of Furnas Crater Lake. From here, the path transitions into rolling meadows and the final leg winds through a tropical forest – three different worlds in one hike. The trail ends at the continued on page 23

Bucket List Travels...

continued from page 22

Caldeiras das Furnas – steaming, boiling geothermal springs. The sights, sounds, and smells of boiling mud and gurgling geysers feel like going back in time to when the earth was young. If a dinosaur had strolled out of the forest it wouldn’t have seemed out of place.

Next to the caldeiras sit a series of holes in the ground. Early each morning, pots of Portuguese stew containing pork, chicken,

sausage, beef, kale, potatoes, and other assorted vegetables are lowered into the holes and covered. Seven hours later the pots are removed and the feast is served in local restaurants. For $30, four of us eat the equivalent of Thanksgiving dinner, with enough left over for two subsequent meals.

After lunch we waddle over to the Poca Da Dona Beija spa – a series of pools whose waters are warmed by hot springs and are said to have healing qualities. Some bathers

spread iron-tinged mud paste on their face and body and soak for hours. This is a place to earn a black belt in relaxation.

Day 3 – Seta Ciades and Afternoon Fishing

The next morning we’re reminded how ever-changing island weather can be. While enjoying breakfast outside – in beautiful sunshine – it’s raining right next door.

Today’s trek is around Seta Ciades, São Miguel’s most popular vista. We’re here for the spectacular views of Lagoa Azul and Lagoa Verde (Blue Lake and Green Lake).

Awaiting us at the first viewpoint is a San Francisco-grade fog obscuring the sights. Ah, but this is the Azores. In less than the time it takes to visit the restroom, the fog lifts and reveals Lagoa Azul. Bravo!

Over the next five hours we hike, climb, and race to the next lookout. Around each bend is another more amazing view, made even more picturesque by dramatic skies. A misty lagoon leads to a windswept meadow that reveals a dazzling lookout – with cows grazing at such a preposterous angle it looks like they’ve been stapled in place.

Next we drive to the harbor in Ponta Delgado. Pedro Rodrigues, a fishing boat captain with Trilhos da Natureza, is expecting us.

The Azores is a fisherman’s dream. Big game fish include marlin, swordfish, and tuna. But since only one member of our party is an avid fisherman, we stay close to the coast and troll for bluefish and barracuda.

Our afternoon haul is not impressive –four barracuda, one of which we keep – but we don’t feel gipped. Pedro entertains with stories of the sea, as well as island and family history. The sky and the sea are so brilliantly blue – and the air so clean – it feels like I’m wearing Polaroid sunglasses even though I’m not. And seeing the island from the water reveals beauty unnoticed on land. As we turn for port, dusk has snuck up on us. The rocky cliffs and small towns are aglow in golden, late-day light.

Day 4 – Traditions and Tea

Cha Gorreana Tea Plantation has been producing teas since 1883 and is the last working tea plantation in Europe. Even if you don’t like tea, the ocean views and trellised landscapes make this a memorable stop. We do a quick factory tour followed by a tea tasting. Then it’s off on a hiking tour of the property. Another feast for the senses.

On the drive home, two miradouras demand attention. By now I’ve changed the name miradoura to meudeus, as in “My God!” because that’s our first reaction to the extreme beauty on display. Almost every viewpoint is a religious experience. I’m beginning to understand why the Azores is one of Europe’s fastest growing travel destinations.

All Sports Museum in Bridgeton Houses South Jersey Sports History

By Jeff Garrett

If not for the inviting gold and green sign saying, “Welcome to All-Sports Museum of Southern New Jersey,” passers-by might never know of how much local, regional, collegiate and professional sports memorabilia and artifacts lay inside a regular, modest building in Bridgeton.

But there’s more than enough with more planned.

The building was originally part of Cumberland County Community College but changed hands. At some point, hopefully sooner than later, the clanging of hammers to nails and the sounds of buzzing drills to install more siding and roofing will take place adjacent to the six-room, 1500 square foot cozy museum. At least this is what museum chairman and chief curator Dom Valella hopes for, as the expansion is planned in the hopes of providing more indoor space to remember more athletes and contributors to southern New Jersey sports fame – for those from Trenton down to Cape May actually.

There’s an Eagles room, a

Phillies room, a Sixers room, a Flyers room and even a Cumberland County room, for impressive athletes who have a connection to that area.

“Pioneers, contributors, athletes and coaches are in here,” says Valella. “We’ve had some who want to be paid to be in here but we just don’t do that. In many sports hall of fames like this, they say one needs to wait five years to enter after their contribution is made and they’ve essentially retired.” Not the case in Bridgeton, where Valella is hoping he can add two NFL rookies he doesn’t want to name at this time, one of which plays for the AFC Champion, Kansas City Chiefs, to the collection

this year.

If so, these rookies will occupy spots alongside greats remembered such as Phillies 2008 World Series coach, Charlie Manuel, a longtime Haddonfield, NJ resident; legendary titleholder, boxer Joe Frazier from Philadelphia who trained in Vineland, NJ and was inducted posthumously. Gold glove phenom, Willie Mays who, while working for Resorts International in Atlantic City, donated a gold glove just over 25 years ago in exchange for a few buckets of peaches and plums. He added a “Say Hey Willie Mays” jersey too with the glove. Mays was a frequent visitor to the Bridgeton Invitational Baseball

Tournament, an annual tournament Valella coached, showing his personal affinity for baseball.

“About five years ago, we were able to get a Jackie Robinson statue from the African-American Negro Hall of Fame in Newton,” said Valella. “A lot of schools came with 15 to 20 students at a time. I’d give tours and the kids learned a lot,” he added, realizing Robinson’s importance in the equal rights movement in professional sports.

21-year-old local ice

hockey player Johnny Gaudreau from Pennsgrove High School, who was a top scorer for the NHL’s Calgary Flames has a spot in the Hall, thanks to police chief of Bridgeton, Michael Gaimari, who knows Johnny’s family and recommended him to Valella. Dozens of plaques and trophies sit in the Hall at 8 Richie Kates Sr. Way in Bridgeton.

Right now, Valella is focused on the next induction ceremony to be held Saturday, March 11 at 11am at Ramblewood

Country Club in Mount Laurel, where the Hall welcomes ESPN and NFL analyst, Sal Paolantonio to its membership. So yes, there’s a spot for sports commentators with a significant tie to New Jersey, in the museum. Just ask Philadelphia sports commentator Michael Barkann and former Phillie and commentator for the team, Ricky Bottalico, who have been inducted already. Both have ties to the Garden State.

Former Eagles quarterback Ron Jaworski will be the special guest speaker on the 11th while sports radio talk show host Joe DiCamara will be the guest master of ceremonies.

Later this year, Paolantonio wants to hold another fund-raiser for the expansion of the facility. “We run the museum now as a non-profit with donations,” Valella noted. The price of admission is free. “The expansion will be a large task for a small facility started 58 years ago in 1965.

There’s plenty to be optimistic about for sports enthusiasts in New Jersey. Even a non-sports enthusiast can come here and learn about South Jersey history,” said Valella.
