Royal Lawns Of America Provides Environmentally Sound Services

oyal Lawns of America, Inc. has been in business for more than 40 years and is now in its second generation. Michael Miller took over the Wayne-based business from his father and has continued to provide the community with the same fine services that are in tune with the environment. The owner-operated owner-on-site business offers customers the benefit of paying one price for the whole year, and there are no special contracts. “My work speaks for itself,” said Miller. He treats present problems with methods that are

environmentally friendly. “I’m as close to organic as I can be,” said Miller. Among the services are aeration, seeding, fertilizing, weed control, insect control, liming, fungus control, and integrated pest management (IPM). Aeration keeps lawns healthy; should be aerated at least twice a year. The Royal Lawns aeration techniques allow air, light, water, and nutrients to penetrate the lawn, promoting root growth and helping to decompose organically and excessive thatch layer more rapidly. Re-Seeding is recommended for areas of the

lawn that have been damaged or neglected. “We use quality disease-resistant blends of bluegrass, fescue, and rye grasses especially selected for your lawn’s environment, improving the appearance and density of your turf. This, in turn, helps inhibit weed growth,” said Miller. Fertilizer that is granular brings on a thriving lawn that requires properly timed applications of complete, balanced, and slow-release fertilizers to replace essential nutrients taken from the soil. The fertilizers used by Royal Lawns are designed to feed lawns from one service to the next, and there is no surge growth or burning

– just steady greening and a thicker, more beautiful lawn. Liming is an application that increases the granulation of soil, improving its physical structure and air-towater ratios, helping lawns tolerate drought conditions. Liming increases the availability of many plant nutrients, which makes fertilizers more effective and helps to reduce weeds by creating conditions more favorable to grass growth. Fungus control is also important. Since fungus problems are derived mostly from weather conditions, maintaining a strong lawn throughout treatment, watering, and proper mowing makes the lawn more nat-

urally resistant to fungus problems. In appropriate conditions, fungicides may be used to help reduce damage caused by cell deterioration from fungus. IPM: the most serious threats to a beautiful lawn are weeds, disease, and insects. Because of the variety and the diversity of appropriate treatments, they are most difficult to control. Royal Lawns provides expert weed and pest

controls, using only Environment Protection Agency approved materials that are scientifically tested to be effective. Being concerned with the environment, Royal Lawns uses only minimal amounts where needed to maintain control. For more information or to make an appointment to have a healthy looking lawn, call Royal Lawns of America at 201-852-4121.

Three Cheers For Schuyler Colfax Middle School For Fighting Cancer One Penny At A Time

By Dawn M Chiossi ancer. The word makes anyone cringe because of the devastation it causes, and because unfortunately, most everyone knows

someone who is affected. Cancer affects everyone either directly or indirectly, and it’s heartbreaking. People wish to help, but some do not know how, so they do nothing.

But the members of Schuyler Colfax Middle School in Wayne blew that excuse into the universe. By simply taking matters into their own hands with their recent fundraiser called

Pennies for Patients, they not only did their part to fight cancer, they exceeded all expectations, more than doubling the amount raised last year. continued on page 2

One Penny At A Time... continued on front page Adults and kids alike let their emotion drive them, and turned that emotion into positive, empowering action. As such, they raised more than $15,000, catapulting them to one of the top schools in the state! They even surpassed last year’s total of approximately $6,500. All of the money raised goes directly to the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society (LLS). As good things can catch on, the folks at Schuyler Colfax Middle school were recently rewarded. The representatives from the organization recently presented Schuyler Colfax with a large check for their devotion and hard work on March 17. The LLS is the largest

voluntary health organization dedicated to funding research, finding cures and ensuring access to treatments for blood cancer patients. As Principal Matthew Mignanelli states, “we wanted to go above and beyond. We really pushed the meaning of the fundraiser with our students.” The students, always up for a challenge, worked tirelessly and enthusiastically on the fundraiser. The event stressed education about research as well as fun. The students learned that fighting cancer with support is not only ideal, it is doable. In seeing videos of children who have been aided by the donations of the program, as well as hands-on projects such as interactive

games in each grade level, the students at Schuyler Colfax saw firsthand how to fight cancer cells, and became empowered to help make the change. Mignanelli credits Noel Anderson, Schuyler-Colfax’s Service Club advisor, eight grade language arts teacher, and coordinator for the fundraiser as the driving force behind the whole event. Because of her own personal history with cancer and loss, Anderson has dedicated her efforts to the Pennies for Patients fundraiser. This is Anderson’s eleventh year working with the school, determined to make a difference in the fight against cancer. Pennies for Patients is a three week program continued on page 3

continued from page 2 where elementary and middle school students collect change and make donations while learning about cancers, service and philanthropy. Anderson is thrilled with the students of Schuyler Colfax Middle School with the way they rolled up their sleeves and dove right in to the fundraiser. “It was amazing,” she says. “They were amazing.” Anderson recalls the Delay the Day event when the students had been given boxes to be filled up with coins, pennies mostly, and stayed in homeroom until it was all counted out for donations. This was the end of the second week of

the event, and the students excelled. The dedication and drive to succeed, and surpass last year’s total, extended to the staff as well as the students. Some even gave extra incentive. In the spirit of empathy and compassion, Anderson promised to cut her hair and to donate it to make wigs. This to benefit those who have lost their hair due to cancer treatments. Since the folks at Schuyler Colfax exceeded last year’s total, Anderson cut off 10 inches of her hair, and now proudly wears it by her ears. Always a good sport and up for a good cause, Mignanelli cheerfully volunteered to be pied in the face

if they surpassed last year’s impressive total. Students from the girls’ softball team were happy to oblige. Getting right in there, the brand new appointed Assistant Principal Jennifer Loniewski also received a pie in the face. “Everyone, including the staff was so supportive,” says Anderson. “It was so cool. I’m amazed. It really is a wonderful collaborative effort.” In addition, the Pennies for Patients event has received the Lifetime Achievement award. Three cheers for Schuyler Colfax Middle school for helping to fight against cancer, one penny at a time.

ummer camp season is just around the corner. Each summer, millions of children depart for campsites around the country to swim, hike, craft, and enjoy the companionship of friends. Summer camps in North America were first established in the 1880s and were attended by children without their parents for overnight stays. By the 20th century, summer camps had become an international phenomenon, and various organizations hosted traditional summer camps or camps geared toward religion, sports, music and other subjects and

activities. According to the American Camp Association, each year more than 14 million children and adults in the United States attend camp. America is home to more than 14,000 day and resident camps (8,400 are overnight camps and 5,600 are day camps). Nonprofit groups are the largest sponsors of summer camps. Many people put off summer camp planning until it is too late. Parents should keep in mind that camps begin registration early in the year and have specific cut-off dates for enrollment. Parents who want to beat the crowds this

year can use this guide to help plan a summer camp agenda. • Attend an orientation seminar. Take the time to visit prospective camps for a tour, and use this open house as an opportunity to learn more about the programs offered. If available, find a camp employee to discuss your child’s eligibility for enrollment. Some camps may offer webinars for convenience. • Fill out the enrollment package completely. Each camp has their own requirements for registration. Expect to submit some personal information, including a medical back-

ground and proof of insurance, names and numbers of emergency contacts, and any other pertinent information as it applies to the camper. This may include allergies, fears, physical or mental disabilities, or even preferences in camp courses. • Establish payment schedules. Summer camps vary in price. The ACA says camp costs range from $100 to more than $1,500 per week. However, many accredited camps offer some sort of financial assistance for children from families with limited financial means. If cost is a

factor, be sure to broach the subject. • Prepare children for the physical challenges a camp may present. Summer camp activities may be rigorous, and campers may need to be cleared by a physician before starting. Be sure to schedule your child a physical and bring along any pertinent forms. Children also can increase their levels of physical activity compared to the often sedentary nature of winter. Such preparation can prevent injuries when engaging in outdoor and physical activities. • Shop for supplies.

Camps are likely to provide a list of requirements with regard to clothing and other equipment campers will need. Make sure kids have enough shorts, T-shirts, socks, athletic shoes, swimsuits, toiletries, and other camp necessities before they leave. • Keep children in the loop. Engage children in the planning process to help alleviate their fears and get them excited about summer camp. Summer camp can foster lifelong memories. Parents can help kids prepare in advance for the fun that’s soon to arrive.

Fourth Grader Smiling After Design Wins Grand Prize In Water Bottle Contest

By Stefanie Sears f those who come across a Nestlé water bottle with a heartwarming image of people hugging, they are holding a design crafted by none other than Theunis Dey Elementary School fourth grader and Wayne resident Luna Han. “The folks at Nestlé Pure Life believe that water

can and should be fun and as part of their 2016 “Share Your Smile” contest, children were asked to draw what makes them smile for a chance to win great prizes, including a chance to have their design produced and included on Nestlé Pure Life “Share-a-Smile” labels,” says the company’s statement.

The Grand Prize victors were split into two categories: six to eight year olds and nine to 12 year olds. Han won for the latter. Nestle received nearly 2,000 entries and selected this past fall two Grand Prize winners, who each won a $25,000 scholarship, a trip to Universal Studios Orlando and free water for a year. Six runner-ups were also selected. All of the designs are included in the new “Share-a-Smile” Kid-Designed Edition 24pack, which became available in stores on March 1. The winners were determined after two rounds of judging. The first round consisted of a panel of independent judges narrowing it down to the 50 highest scoring entries in each age group based on artistic skill, originality, and consistency with the theme of “What Makes You Smile.” These entries then moved onto the second phase of judging where adjudicators hand-picked by the Nestlé Pure Life marketing team judged them based on consistency with theme, Nestlé

Pure Life brand attributes, and expressiveness. “I heard about the contest from an internet advertisement of the Nestlé Smile Drawing Contest,” says Han, “I entered the contest because the main idea of this contest was so sweet and easy to think of.

And I have many things that make me smile.” So what makes Han smile? Well, her favorite school subject is math and she enjoys drawing her own cartoons and storybooks. She sketches during recess Windows Art classes and in her spare time. Her

additional hobby is playing computer games with her family. “My family and friends inspired me and showed me what makes everyone smile,” explains Han about her inspiration behind her design. Han’s artwork is complete with all of the makings of happiness. Surrounding the joyful family of four is sunshine, a rainbow, flowers, a soccer ball, a football, a bluebird, a cat and a dog. Han hopes to make children smile in the future as well. “When I grow up I want to be a pediatrician, because whenever I see doctors help me become healthier, it makes me happy. So when I am older, I want to help other kids feel better too.”

Indoor vs. Outdoor Cats

here’s another great debate about the feline as a pet besides the declawing issue. This great debate concerns allowing the feline to roam outdoors versus living indoors. Should you allow your cat to roam outdoors? Let’s find out. Outdoor Felines Cats are essentially wild creatures, and they have always loved the outdoors. What feline owner hasn’t watched his cat loll in a patch of sunshine on a winter day, or roll contentedly in the dirt in its own back-

yard? Cats do love the sunshine, the outdoors, and the fresh air. However, outdoor cats are susceptible to more diseases, more injuries, and

more health problems. Outdoor cats may tussle with other cats, catch parasites or other diseases, or be hit by a car or caught by

other predators. They can also be poisoned by pesticides, antifreeze left unattended or other toxins. They can cause problems with neighbors by using their yards as a cat box. Outdoor cats simply aren’t as safe as indoor cats. Indoor Felines Indoor cats live longer, healthier lives. Studies prove it and common sense dictates it. Indoor cats have many advantages outdoor cats can’t hope to have. Outdoor cats live on an average of 3 to 5 years, while indoor

591 Newark Pompton Turnpike Pompton Plains, NJ

cats live an average of 12 years or more. My last indoor cats lived to be 19 and nearly 21. Indoor cats enjoy safety and comfort. They are safe from diseases that feral cats may carry and outdoor cats pick up. They are safe from cat fights, cars, and predators. And, indoor cats won’t harm other wildlife, such as birds and small animals. Alternatives There are many alternatives to the outdoor lifestyle. When kittens first come home, they should be kept

indoors. If your cats miss their outdoor excursions, you might try to train them to wear a harness and walk on a leash. They will still be able to enjoy the outdoors, but much more safely. Another alternative is to create a safe outdoor area or run where the cats can go outside but cannot escape the area. There are many outdoor runs available now that connect to a cat door and allow the cat access to a run continued on next page

Indoor vs. Outdoor Cats... cont. from previous page on a patio or in a backyard. You can also allow the cat outdoors on a patio or deck when you are outdoors, and only for a short time. Or, you can use a carrier to take your kitty for walks in the sunshine. Keeping kitty indoors will keep it healthy, happy, and free of infectious diseases it might catch outside. Each pet owner is responsible for his own pet’s health and well-being. Keeping kitty inside is the choice that makes sense.

Get Cookies Through Girl Scouts Of Northern NJ

orget to order favorite Girl Scout cookie treats? It’s not too late! Girl Scouts across northern New Jersey will continue selling Girl Scout cookies through April 23 during Cookie Booth Sale season. More than 700 booth sales are planned throughout Morris, Passaic, Sussex and northern Warren counties. “We often hear customers say that they do not know a Girl Scout who is selling cookies, or where they can purchase cookies in their area,” said Betty Garger, president and chief executive officer of Girl Scouts of Northern New Jersey. “Starting Sat., March 18, girls will be holding cookie booth sales every weekend until April 23 throughout the area, so customers will be able to find their cookies

projects like beautification plans or collection drives, in addition to girl program activities and trips. A variety of cookies are being sold at $4 per box, including Thin Mints, DoSiDos, Tagalongs, Trefoils, Samoas, and Savannah Smiles. Gluten-free Toffee-tastic cookies and the Girl Scout S’mores will sell for $5 per box, due to higher production costs – but these cookies in particular are in high demand this year and may not be available at all booth locations. Girl Scouts also continues its movement-wide celebration of the 100th season of Girl Scouts selling cookies. A century ago, girls started participating in what would evolve into the largest entrepreneurial training program for girls in the world: the Girl Scout Cookie Program, through

t’s not always easy to create meals that are both nutritious and satisfying. Managing intake of added sugar and saturated fat takes effort and planning, but transforming your favorite recipes into more nutritious family meals can be simpler than you imagined. The nutrient-dense mushroom masterfully bridges that divide, offering rich and meaty flavor while still being fat-free, low-calorie and low-sodium. All mushrooms contain vitamin D at various levels, which helps build strong bones. Additionally, mushrooms are a source of B vitamins, including riboflavin and niacin, which help provide energy by breaking down proteins, fats and carbohydrates. “Mushrooms are an incredibly versatile ingredient,” said Mary Jo Feeney, MS, RDN, nutrition research consultant for the Mushroom Council. “They can be the meaty star of a vegetarian dish or a nutritious complement to burgers and other hearty recipes.” For a healthy weekday lunch, consider building a salad bowl around the earthy mushroom. Pair roasted or marinated mushrooms with crunchy vegetables and nutty grains, beans and pulses, and top with a simple vinaigrette or squeeze of citrus. For lightened-up versions of classics such as burgers and meatballs,

A Blended Take On Family Favorites try adopting a culinary technique known as “The Blend.” Simply chop any mushroom variety to match the consistency of ground meat, blend the mushrooms into the meat and cook the mushroom-meat blend to complete the recipe. Substituting at least 25 percent of the meat for mushrooms can enhance the taste of your favorite meaty meals, deliver an extra serving of nutrient-rich vegetables and trim calorie and fat intake. For additional mushroom recipes that incorporate the blending technique, visit mushroominfo.com.

Did You Know?

any homeowners have lofty goals for their homes. Such plans may include extensive renovations or even additions. While many of these projects create beautiful changes in a home, it’s important to consider the impact that renovations can have on property value before beginning a project. Many home improvement projects do not add as much value as homeowners may think they do. In fact, some homeowners “overbuild” for their neighborhoods. This means the amount of money invested in im-

provements can likely never be recuperated because the house value simply exceeds those around by too much money. To avoid overbuilding, homeowners can ask themselves several questions before beginning a renovation project. • Will my house be the largest house in the neighborhood? Larger homes tend to have a lower price per square foot, so you may not want to improve to this extent. • Will the house blend with others in the area? If your house will stick out like a sore thumb, it will

detract from its own value and could impact the value of other homes in the area. • Have I examined the cost vs. value of the project? Many home improvement resources analyze the cost of a project versus the overall value of that project with regard to property value. For example, a $100,000 basement remodel may not add $100,000 to the value of the home in the event you choose to sell down the line. It’s important to know which projects provide the best return on investment.

ecks add character and functionality to a home, increasing outdoor entertaining space and oftentimes improving the resale value of a home. Homeowners have various options when choosing decking materials, but one such option, composite decking, is growing in popularity. Decks used to primarily be made from pressure-treated lumber. While lumber remains a popular material, more and more homeowners are opting for composite decking products. As anyone who has pressure-washed, stained and sealed wood decks can attest, such spaces require lots of upkeep to look new year after year. Composite decks require much less maintenance, making them

Composite Decking Can Be A Smart Choice

highly attractive to homeowners who would rather spend time using their decks instead of maintaining them. Composite decking is any type of decking material that is formulated from different recycled materials. The majority of these materials include hard plastic and wood shavings of pulp. Unlike wood, which can fade, crack and rot, composite decking, which has been available for roughly a decade, does not degrade quickly and requires very little upkeep. Available in a variety of wood colors to match outdoor decor, composite decks also can feature artificial wood grains to make them look similar to wood planks. Although composite decks are not completely

impervious to the elements, with some occasional washing to impede mold growth and new technology that has improved stain-resistance, many of the pitfalls of other materials can be avoided with composite decks. Composite decking fits in with eco-friendly lifestyles. The planks are made from recycled materials that would normally end up in landfills. Products from Trex, a popular composite decking manufacturer, are made from 1.5 million shopping bags and wood mill waste. As composite decks do not rot away and are long-lasting, they will not need to be replaced frequently, which is another eco-friendly benefit. When comparing composite decking brands, look

mainly at the colors, materials used in the composition and the fastening systems. Many are fastened with regular deck screws, offers This Old House. The newer systems have channels for hidden fastening, and the composite deck tiles snap into place.

Composite decks do have a few drawbacks. They can be expensive — nearly double the initial cost of wood decks. And although they don’t rot, composite planks can scratch. Without refinishing, damaged boards will need to be replaced. Harsh chemicals
