DC Landscape Design Offers Spring Clean Up Specials

pring is almost here.

Now is the time to be thinking about one of the most important parts of the season. Spring is the time to get the landscape prepared for the upcoming months.

The average house for a spring clean up is $395 up to 10,000 sq. ft. One of the most important parts of the spring clean up is using a proper thatcher which is a walk behind thatcher.

Thatching pulls out much of the imbedded organic matter such as grass, stems, clippings, twigs, nuts and leaves. It is very important to remove this thatch

layer. In doing so, fertilizers and other chemicals will be able to dilute with the rainfall and get down to the roots to be absorbed by the plant. If this thatch layer is not removed it could have the capabilities of clinging onto chemicals, thus, the chemicals do not get into the root system and will spread throughout the plant.

The spring clean up also consists of edging all existing beds on the premises with a flat shovel to give the beds a beautiful well-defined edge, and to blow down the entire property. All leaves/debris from

Acorn Hall Exhibit Pays Tribute To Morris Co. WWI Contributions

A

By: J.L. Shively new exhibit featured throughout Acorn Hall opened on Sun., Feb. 19 in recognition of the 100th Anniversary of the United States entry into World War I which took place on April 6, 1917.

The exhibit is entitled “1917: World War, Women’s Rights, and Weaponry Sciences,” and will be on display at the Morris County Historical Society’s Headquarters, the historic Acorn Hall until June.

“We wanted to incorporate as many aspects of what was going on in 1917 as possible,” said Nicole Rizzuto, curator of Exhibits and Research with MCHS. There was much more going on than just the war in that year.

“The year was the impetus of decision,” Rizzuto states, while elaborating on the fact that U.S. entrance into the war sparked many other movements which had already been smoldering.

The inspiration behind the exhibit therefore is not only the war but focuses on local women’s rights movements and Morris County contributions to weaponry sciences which helped aide the U.S. in strategic movements of the war.

According to a press release “the exhibit honors the men and women who gave their lives during the war, highlights the culture clash of women seeking recognition as equals and the right to vote, and features the tremendous advances in weaponry science credited to the work

of men and women at Picatinny Arsenal and throughout Morris County.”

Alison Turnbull Hopkins is a local suffragette who is featured at Acorn Hall at this time. Hopkins was an outspoken woman imprisoned for picketing at the White House for a woman’s rights.

Another woman who is featured at the exhibit for different heroics includes Amabel Scharss Roberts who was the first U.S. nurse to die overseas during WWI. Roberts was a nurse from Madison.

Along with other period appropriate clothing the exhibit features artifacts from WWI throughout every room of Acorn Hall.

A WWI uniform is on display including camp material on loan from the Butler Mu-

seum and Historical Committee. A pop tent is featured along with a medical bag from the MCHS collection.

The idea behind the exhibit with a mixture of war artifacts intermixed with everyday items is meant to show

“how different things affected different aspects of people’s lives,” states Rizzuto. continued on page 3

any people consider St. Patrick’s Day their favorite holiday. St. Patrick’s Day celebrations tend to be short on formality, long on fun and synonymous with various sights, sounds and symbols that make the holiday so special.

Shamrock In ancient Ireland, the shamrock symbolized rebirth, particularly the rebirth of warmer weather.

But the shamrock also has more specific ties to St. Patrick, and remains one of the most recognizable symbols associated with his feast day. Historians believe that, on his return to Ireland (a native of Great Britain, St. Patrick

was first taken to Ireland after being kidnapped by pirates, later returning as a Christian missionary after his release), St. Patrick used the shamrock to teach the natives about the Holy Trinity. In fact, an image of St. Patrick holding a shamrock first ap-

peared on coins in 1675.

The shamrock’s status as a symbol would continue to evolve when it became a figure of Irish patriotism during the Irish Rebellion of 1798. In 2003, the shamrock was registered as an international continued on page 4

Morris Freeholders Announce Aggressive Road Paving Schedule

T

he Morris County Board of Freeholders has announced the 2017 list of county road paving projects that will target nearly 33 miles across 15 municipalities at a total cost of $9 million, in a continuation of the board’s continuing policy of maintaining and improving the county’s high quality road network.

For 2017, the freeholders have allocated $5.1 million in the county’s capital budget for paving, combined with nearly $3.9 million in anticipated state funding to finance paving projects.

The county also is advancing projects for roads not paved, as expected, in 2016 due to delays caused

by a state government stalemate over financing of the State Transportation Trust Fund.

“We are very aware of the importance of properly maintaining our county road network in a first-rate county like Morris County,’’ said Freeholder John Cesaro, the county governing board’s liaison on public works and roads.

“It is a key factor in maintaining the high quality of life for our residents, visitors, medical and educational institutions, and businesses,’’ Cesaro added.

Some portions of county roads scheduled for paving in 2017 are located in Chatham Township, Hanover, Lincoln Park, Montville, Pequannock, Morristown,

Morris Township, Morristown, Randolph, Roxbury, and Washington Township.

This effort is in addition to any local or state road-improvement projects.

Some of the more extensive work will include portions of Whippany Road in Hanover, Eyland Avenue in Roxbury, Meyersville Road in Chatham Township, and Jacksonville Road in Montville, Pequannock and Lincoln Park.

“We want to assure county residents that the freeholder board is committed to this effort. To allow our roads to fall into disrepair would not be acceptable,’’ said Freeholder Director Doug Cabana.

trademark by the Irish government.

Irish Seisiún St. Patrick’s Day celebrants who are not of Irish descent and/or those who have never visited Ireland may not know it, but the live music they may hear when entering a pub on St. Patrick’s Day is an integral part of the fabric of Irish culture. An Irish Seisiún typically finds a group of musicians gathered in a pub to play traditional Irish music, oftentimes while seated at a table among their audience. While many pubs reserve stage areas for their musicians on St. Patrick’s Day, the spirit of seisiún is still present, as musicians often interact with the audience.

The Tricolour

Many establishments display the familiar Irish tricolour flag on St. Patrick’s Day, and paradegoers may even wave miniature versions of this significant symbol in support of those marching.

This instantly recognizable flag has a rich history. Equal parts green, white and orange, the flag was designed to foster peace in the country that had experienced considerable turmoil due to the divide between the country’s Protestant and Catholic residents. The green in the flag represents the Irish Catholics, while the orange represents the Irish Protestants. The white is a symbol of hope for peace between the two factions.

Though Ireland established the tricolour as its national flag in 1921, it

first appeared much earlier when Irish national Thomas Francis Meagher unfurled it in 1848.

Green The color green is everywhere come St. Patrick’s Day, but celebrants may be surprised to learn that blue is the color that was once most affiliated with St. Patrick himself.

Numerous paintings depict St. Patrick wearing blue vestments. But green is the color now most instantly associated with Ireland, which is widely referred to as the “Emerald Isle.” Ireland’s lush countryside and rolling green hills attract millions of visitors each year. The color green can be found just about everywhere on St. Patrick’s Day, even if Patrick himself was partial to blue.

To see the complete list of currently scheduled 2017 county paving projects, visit: http://transportation.morriscountynj. gov/2017-paving/ The Freeholders over the past four years have made the maintenance of the county’s 287-mile road network a priority issue, even committing county capital funds to paving last year despite a possibility that the Transportation Trust Fund stalemate might not yield state funds.

In addition, to expedite

projects, the freeholders for the past few years have approved short-term financing to allow the county to bid projects early in

the season and move fullspeed-ahead during the spring and summer on a full slate of road repaving.

SOS Invites Community To New Thrift Store Open House

pproximately six months ago, when Strengthen Our Sisters (SOS) was at its lowest ebb, possibly on the verge of losing its houses and not being able to provide for the thousands of women and children that come to the non-profit organization for assistance, some very caring, kind people in Livingston read an article in their hometown paper. After visiting SOS and speaking with some of the residents, they

decided to make a donation to enable SOS to open a second thrift store towards the goal of becoming economically independent.

After much searching, hard work and struggle, SOS is proud to announce that on Sat., April 15, at noon, an open house with food, music, merriment and surprise awards is set to be held. The new store, Treasures Two is located at the corner of Main Street and Chestnut Avenue in Passaic.

The public is invited to join in and be part of this exciting event. All monies raised by the store will be used to set up households for families who are rebuilding their lives. The thrift store will also be able to provide affordable, high quality items to the community.

For donations and additional information call Sandra Ramos, 973-8316156 or email Susan Batt, susanscb@optonline.net.

We want to hear from you!

Email us at hteditor@newviewmg.com to all Morris County students. It is completely free of charge to the cadets and their families.

The academy is a uniquely designed program which provides high school students exposure to and a better understanding of the various facets within the field of public safety. This program has been designed to target Morris County’s young adults at a time when they are making decisions regarding their future education and careers.

“They are in the process of making educational and life commitments that could potentially impact their careers, their character, and their communities,” said Morris County Freeholder Director Doug Cabana. “We want to give them a chance to see if public safety might be a way for them to go.’’

Morris County Free-

holder Tom Mastrangelo, who is the county governing board’s liaison to the Department of Law and Public Safety, said “This is an investment in the youth of our county, and a chance to interest some of the brightest young people who live in Morris County to consider being future leaders in our vitally important public safety team.

The Youth Academy is a unique program that exposes cadets to all facets of the public safety profession.

This intensive program will provide cadets with specially designed training and hands-on experience in the fields of police, fire, EMS, emergency management, and more.

Preventative Care Important For Pets

ccording to a 2011 Bayer Veterinary Care Usage study, companion animal veterinary visits have been declining over the past several years. Study participants reported their pets saw the vet nearly 20 percent less than they did a mere four years ago. The infrequency of vet visits might be traced to a host of factors, including financial concerns stemming from the recent recession, the high cost of veterinary care, increased use of the Internet as a source of information about animal health and modifications in pet immu-

nization schedules.

Many vets have move to a three-year vaccination schedule, wherein pets only have to receive routine shots every three years

instead of annually. Some pet owners are choosing to forego annual checkups because they don’t see the need to visit the vet unless a pet is sick or due for shots.

Financial concerns are another factor in the decrease of vet appointments.

Though the economy has begun to recover, some pet owners simply do not have the extra income to devote to animal care.

While owners may have viable reasons for not taking their animals to see the vet, failure to do so can prove costly down the road. Health checkups for pets can alert owners to potential problems that can be resolved with medication or other therapy. Left unchecked, illnesses may spread until surgery or other invasive treatment op-

tions are the only recourse.

Veterinary health insurance for pets is available at a reasonable cost. These insurance plans can offset the expense of some visits and provide protection if a major illness should befall a dog or cat.

Many veterinarians recognize the high cost of pet care and will be willing to work with customers in regard to payments. It is worth talking to the vet to see if a payment plan or alternative appointments can be made to ensure the health of the pet. Vets may be able to suggest over-thecounter medications or cer-

tain foods instead of more expensive prescriptions.

It’s important to note that diagnosing pet ailments on your own is ill-advised. Certain symptoms may seem to indicate one condition but could actually be something more serious. Pet owners should always confer with a veterinarian if a pet is acting out-of-sorts and not rely entirely on homespun advice.

“All I Need Is $5,000,000 And I’m Outta Here!”

es, that was my goal when I officially started on my career path in 1981; I believed if I could accumulate $5 Million and put it in the bank at an 8% rate of return, the $400,000 in annual interest would be able to support me for the rest of my life. At that time in 1981, less than 4% of the American public earned over $50,000 annually, so $400,000 a year was a bit lofty and ambitious financial goal!

I also understood that by the time it took me to accumulate the $5,000,000, due to inflation, I would probably need $100,000 a year to feel the same sense of security that $50,000 provided America’s top 4% of 1981 income earners, still leaving me a margin of error of $300,000 in surplus. I was turning 20 years old and felt that by the age of my retirement, I could make it with $5,000,000.00 in portfolio value. The other part of my ambitious goal was to set my retirement age to 35! Rather optimistic for sure, but, heck, I was just 20! In 1996 at the age of 35, I needed to reset my goal to the advanced age of 40; I worked, saved, in-

vested and invested, saved and worked. I monitored, made adjustments and mortgaged my way down the road toward financial independence. In 1998, my wife and I purchased a dilapidated mansion in Wayne for $675,000 and invested more than $3,000,000 in repairs and improvements, anticipating an appreciation rate of 4% annually on such a magnificent property and homestead to raise our family. Today, just over 18 years later, if my assumption were to have been correct, the house would be worth $7.5 million and mortgage-free too! The property taxes certainly appreciated over those 18 years, from $19,000 to the current annual tax of $63,000! One, therefore, would assume that the property value should have risen similarly. The property taxes increased by a compounded average annual rate of 6.89% and I was hoping for an annual increase of only 4% on the house over the same period of time. My personal calculations and research tell me that my Wayne, NJ home has actually DEPRECIATED by 2.12% per year over the

last 18 years! So simultaneous to my property taxes increasing to $63,000, I was losing millions of dollars in property value, punching a substantial hole in my retirement plan of being financially independent, selling the house and having a cash nest egg of $5,000,000 to open an 8% bank CD with to retire.

The other problem, if you haven’t noticed yet, is that CD rates are no longer at 8%, more like point 8% today. So, a $5,000,000 deposit at .8% would yield an annual income of $40,000 not $400,000! Looks like plan “A” may be in need of a plan “B”, which, would either be to retire now and learn to live on less, work longer to postpone retirement as long as possible or plan “C” a little bit of both.

Lesson learned is that even the best of plans may be in need or revision, compromise or abandonment. In my case, there were multiple retirement plansrunning simultaneously that I refer to as “JIC” plans.

My personal residence retirement plan was compromised somewhat, but, there were other arrows in my quiver, I’m happy to report. “JIC” is an acronym for Just in Case! To-

day, I am 55, my youngest of 4 children is age 16. My wife of 30 years is happy with our multi-faceted retirement plans in that we were financially able to retire more than 15 years ago, yet not emotionally ready. I constantly remind her of my desire to relocate to Florida and she reminds me that we are too young to retire to Florida.

Like a George and Gracie routine, I respond with who said anything about retire, I said relocate. She responds, to me Florida equates to retirement and I’m a Jersey girl and far too young. I say, what does age have to do with it? And the banter continues. Nice to know though, we can absorb the multi-million dollar loss on the house and semi-retire in New Jersey or Florida alike, but she is right about one thing, we are both too young to retire full-time.

I’d like to take a retirement test drive first, but not for a few years I told her. She replied that that idea was a great one. So I replied, I’d like to take the test drive in Florida…..And so the banter begins again.

Readers, are you prepared for retirement? Did you make goals and plans,

save and invest, monitor and make adjustments as needed? Did you prepare alternative plans “B” and “C” and “JIC” too? If interested to know how to be better prepared, I’ll tell you what good “JIC” plans are, so you too can enjoy a comfortable, financially stress-free retirement.

Some “JIC” plans may be initiated in your 20’s 30’s or 40’s and others can be initiated in your 50’s 60’s and 70’s. Education is the key and that’s why I write this column biweekly in your USPS delivered Home Town News. I cannot call you to schedule a no cost and no obligation appointment, that’s your first step to take. But, I can promise to do my best in sharing with you what in my opinion will be in your Best Interest moving forward if you decide to do that. The least you will accomplish is to put a face and a voice to this column.

Filing Extension - Get More Time To File, Not To Pay

ometimes the tax deadline arrives and you are simply not ready to file. But, if you choose to file for an extension, don’t make the mistake of not paying. Filing for an extension gives you more time to file, not more time to pay. If you owe taxes, they are due on the regular filing deadline.

Now that you know the IRS still expects payment for taxes owed by the regular filing deadline, you may be wondering if you have a good reason to file for an extension. The IRS doesn’t actually require a valid reason. But some of the more common reasons taxpayers file for an extension include: Missing or incorrect in-

formation. You cannot file your tax return without certain forms. Often taxpayers find they are waiting on LLC business tax forms, like a Schedule K-1. It’s also possible that you have a W-2 or a 1099 with errors. If you have to wait for a corrected form, you might not make the tax filing due date and need an extension.

Self-employment retirement contributions. Taking advantage of a tax filing extension allows you more time to fund a SEP IRA, Solo 401(k), and SIMPLE plan. Be aware, however, that this does not apply to Traditional or Roth IRAs. IRAs must be funded by April 18.

Natural disasters. If you live in an area affected by

a natural disaster, the IRS will allow a filing extension. Check IRS.gov to find out if your area has been granted an extension.

Military members serving overseas. Taxpayers who are serving outside the U.S. can file an extension, but they must still pay taxes due by the filing deadline.

Taxpayers who are serving in a combat zone can defer filing income tax returns and paying taxes up to 180 days after the end of their service in the zone.

Life events. Marriage, the death of a family member, having a baby, or dealing with a divorce can be stressful. Adding the stress of tax season may be too much. Filing for an extension can give you the time

you need, so you have time to focus on your tax return later in the year.

Remember, regardless of your reason for filing for an extension, the IRS still expects you to pay the taxes you owe by the regular filing deadline. If you don’t file for the extension, you face interest due and late-filing penalties.

Each situation is unique.

Give us a call and we can help answer your questions.

The Sports Factory - They Have It All!

Y

ou’ve almost certainly driven past “the Bubble” on Beaverbrook Road in Lincoln Park, and most will have wondered what goes on inside that odd-looking building. But if you take a second to step through those revolving doors, you may well be surprised.

‘The Sports Factory’, as its freshly painted letters now proudly state, is home to a 39,000-square foot heated and air conditioned indoor facility. The building houses four turf fields, a two lane 60-yard sprint track, office/meeting rooms equipped with flat panel televisions, a glass enclosed party room and stadium style seating.

Gracing those turf fields,

you will find The Sports Factory’s highly qualified soccer coaching staff, mainly from England and Spain, working with 285 local club teams at various ages and levels. The Sports Factory Staff also conduct classes, camps and birthday parties for children of all ages.

The Sports Factory operates a complete external soccer training service company providing developmental curriculums to local soccer organizations including: club team training; game day coaching; recreational programs; team camps; community camps; high school camps; goalkeeper camps; director of coaching programs; high school coaching; coaches’

education.

Their organization strives to create an environment devoted to providing youth soccer clubs with an outstanding professional training program dedicated to improving individual players and teams.

Along with its classes and training programs, The Sports Factory summer camp run from the end of June to the end of August, offering Free before and after care. The Sports Factory also accommodates special events, including Birthday Parties, Bar & Bat Mitzvahs and Corporate Events.

Guests enjoy an hour of field time, offering multiple sports such as soccer, touch football, wiffleball, kickball and dodge ball; before us-

ing the glass enclosed party room for food and refreshments.

The Sports Factory offers programs for children as young as 3 years old, beginning with its “Little Academy”. The Little Academy is the best introduction to soccer for the young player with simple creative games with the inclusion of a ball. Graduates from the Little Academy program are encouraged to move on to Junior Academy where they are introduced to skills, turns and simple technique.

The Sports Factory partners with TSF Academy, a powerhouse in New Jersey soccer. The club has seen huge expansion in its twelve years and now hosts semi-

professional teams on both the men’s’ and women’s’ side, an affiliation with professional club NYCFC as well as several alumni now currently playing at the professional level.

TSF Academy and The Sports Factory boast an impressive list of players now competing at the professional level including Red Bulls stars Connor Lade & Alex Muyl, on the Men’s side as well as Sky Blue debutant Danielle Schulmann on the Women’s side.

This winter Alumni members Eric Klenofsky and Nickolette Driesse added their names to the list as they were drafted by D.C United and Orlando Pride, respectively. Two other notable TSF Academy gradu-

By Cheryl Conway pproaching its one year anniversary this May since its reformation, the Lincoln Park Historical Society has been taking steps toward a brighter future.

Located in its freshly painted headquarters at the Lincoln Park History Museum at 137 Main Street in Lincoln Park, the group is seeking historical status, plans to gain greater exposure by attending street fairs, is participating in the fall Pathways of History Tour and invites long-time residents to share their memories through an oral history project.

Formerly known as the Beavertown Historical Society, the group took a five year hiatus when members started to move away and the building was in disrepair from a leaky roof.

Reestablished in February 2016, after a group of residents had a meeting expressing interest to restart, the society has grown to

about 45 members strong.

“We want everyone to know where we are and to come visit us,” says Christopher Lotito, president of the Lincoln Park Historical Society.

The group meets monthly at the museum on the first Tuesday at 7 p.m. to discuss recent donations, ongoing projects and applications for grants and ideas on how to recruit more members, explains Lotito.

“There’s a lot of great historical sites going back to colonial times in Lincoln

ATTENTION BUSINESS OWNERS

Park,” says Lotito. With limited grants to preserve these historic sites and most of these historic properties privately owned, the society does not have a lot of latitude to preserve these structures and get them placed on The National Register of Historic Places.

Historical society members are working on an application to get the Lincoln Park History Museum added to the New Jersey Register of Historic Places, says Lotito. continued on page 16

cont. from previous page The small wood-plank building dates back to 1927 and is known for being Lincoln Park’s first library, says Lotito. The land had been owned by the Benjamin family. David Benjamin owned and ran a saw mill alongside the Morris Canal, he added.

The library was converted into a museum in the 1960’s when the new library was built on Route 202.The land was donated by the Benjamin Estate at that time to the Beavertown Historical Society, says Lotito.

Featured at the museum is local history as well as some history of Morris County, such as the Morris Canal and information

about Native American groups who once resided in the area.

The building was functioning as a museum and headquarters of the historical society until 2008, when many existing members of the historical society started to move away and a leaky roof caused interior damage, forcing it to close.

Last April, a member who is also a contractor, restored the original pine floor, he says.

Lotito hopes to secure a grant to have the building’s original shelving recreated.

Last year, during the “hot days of summer,” a group of about 15 Boy Scouts repainted the building to help a fellow scout

earn his Eagle Scout badge.

Led by Kory Smith, the Scouts patched and painted the entire exterior of the building in 1920 paint and trim colors during a three week period.

With the historical society unable to get a color photo of the original building from the 1920’s and the building painted three times since, the Scouts were unable to recreate the original paint colors, Lotito explains. They did, however, use different paint colors to reflect the ornate colors used in that time period, Lotito says. They painted the building brown, the trim cream and charcoal, and the door red.

The museum is open from noon to 4 p.m. on the

To increase awareness of its reformation, the historical society plans to set up a table at the Lincoln Park Street Fair in the fall, as well as the Pequannock Street Fair in June.

The group is also look-

The Lincoln Park Historical Society is also interested in hearing from longtime residents who would be willing to share their

memories of growing up in town, as well as any photographs or artifacts. The Girl Scouts will be conducting the in-person interviews.

Those interested in sharing their history can email the society at lincolnparknjhistory@gmail.com.

Did You Know?

f you think that the only way to exercise and burn calories involves gym equipment, think again.

Yard work can be just as challenging as a thorough aerobics workout at a nearby fitness club. To reap the greatest benefits, gardeners should use as little motor-

ized machinery as possible.

Manual tools will get you moving and can burn a substantial amount of calories.

Try to vary positions and alternate which hands you use to reduce strain and get an even workout. Fitness experts say that gardening can improve strength, in-

crease endurance and assist with flexibility. According to a report in the UK publication The Telegraph, clearing a pond or weeding can burn some 300 calories in an hour. Forty-five minutes worth of gardening can burn as many calories as 30 minutes of aerobics.

Turtle Back Zoo Helps To Save Sea Turtles With New Center

he Prudential Sea Turtle Recovery Center at Essex County Turtle Back Zoo opened last month. The County is partnering with the non-profit Sea Turtle Recovery to operate the facility, which will nurse cold-stunned or injured turtles back to health so they can be released back into the ocean.

“The Sea Turtle Recovery expands our preservation and education programs and will heighten our visitors’ awareness about protecting animals and the environment,” said Essex County Executive Joseph N. DiVincenzo.

“To be able to develop a Sea Turtle Rescue center here in Essex County and help the very animals after which our zoo is named is a great resource to the animal

rescue community and fills a great need. It’s a great example of how zoos and animal rescue organizations can work together to save animals and raise the public’s awareness about the dangers animals face.”

Freeholder Patricia Sebold said “This is a marvelous addition to Turtle Back Zoo and is an example of the County Executive’s commitment to make this place successful.”

As water temperatures drop this time of year in the Northeast (Virginia to Maine), especially in Cape Cod and Long Island, biologists and volunteers prepare for an average of more than 570 sea turtles that are stunned by the cold, a reaction that can lead to frostbite, malnutrition, dehydration, shock, pneumonia and possibly death. In

addition, sea turtles in the Atlantic Ocean are threatened by fishing line entanglement, plastic ingestion, boat strikes, and loss of natural nesting and feeding sites because of coastal development.

In 2014, more than 700 live sea turtles washed ashore in the Northeast.

The facility at Turtle Back Zoo joins eight other facilities in the region that have the capacity to care for cold stunned or injured sea turtles.

At Essex County Turtle Back Zoo, an antiquated building was torn down and replaced with a modern 4,000-square-foot facility.

The new building has five recovery tanks, life support systems, and an intensive care unit for more critically injured turtles. Zoo visitors will be able to see less crit-

ical patients while learning about the perils sea turtles face and what the public can do to help. Once the turtles have regained their health, they will be released back into their natural habitat.

“Turtle Back Zoo already is a special place where children and families can learn to appreciate animals. Introducing the Sea Turtle Recovery Center helps take our educational programming to the next level and gives us an active role in protecting and preserving wild animals,” Turtle Back Zoo Director Brint Spencer said. “Having the rehabilitation center on site fits into our mission of conservation and expands the potential for animal awareness.”

The Zoo is partnering with The Sea Turtle Re-

covery, a non-profit organization based in Northfield.

The Sea Turtle Recovery is dedicated to the rehabilitation, preservation and conservation of sea turtles.

Its current work extends throughout the state educating the public about the ecological role of sea turtles, threats they face, and ways to protect their

future. With the opening of the recovery center at Turtle Back Zoo, The Sea Turtle Recovery can begin to fulfill the other portion of its mission, which is to rehabilitate sea turtles for release back into the wild.
