nick Bakowski of Saint Pius gave the opening prayer while Amanda Rosado, of Montville Township High School’s School of Rock, sang the National Anthem. Mayor Jim Sandham followed with an introduction of local dignitaries in attendance, including former Mayor John Rosselini and former Committee Members Dan Grant and Jean Bader. Also present were Superintendent of Schools René Rovtar, Board President Matthew Kayne and Board Member Charles Grau. After the introductions, Jason Jones of the Historic Preservation Review Commission read a brief history of Montville Township. Jones stated that the Leni Lenape had lived in the area for many thousands of years and were the “original people” of present-day Montville; their legacy lives on in many town names. In 1694, Dutch colonists - including Hendrick and David Mandeville - purchased the land from the Lenape and British land owners. Over time, the family name morphed into “Montville.” According to Jones, some sources credit the name to Montville, Conn. or to the area’s mountainous region – but the most credible ones attribute it to the Mandeville family. “Aside from its historic attractions, Montville also

boasts some historic citizens,” Jones said, going on to name David Young, editor and founder of the “Farmer’s Almanac,” and Marietta Huntoon Crane Woodruff, the first woman to practice medicine in Morris County. Committee Member Deb Nielson then read a letter from Senator Cory Booker, who could not be present, congratulating the town on the event. “Through the dedicated service of municipal employees, elected leaders, and local volunteers, the Township of Montville has grown and prospered over the past century and a half,” his letter read. “As you gather to celebrate the history and

people that have shaped your community, I wish you a memorable event.” State Senator Joseph Pennacchio, who has lived in the township for 30 years, explained the importance of the Township of Montville to his identity. “I’ve managed to raise a family here, my kids went to school here…but Montville will always hold a very special place in my heart,” Pennacchio stated. Committee Woman Deb Nielson, contacted after the event, stated that the commencement of the 150th anniversary took place on Jan. 1, and thanked all the municipal officials and employees for all the positive changes in the Montville

municipality. She also spoke of the poster contest for the occasion, the themes of which include “What I like best about Montville,” “My favorite place in Montville” and “Growing up in Montville.” The contest is geared towards grades K-2, 3-5, 6-8 and high school, with awards for each category. The contest began April 11 and runs through May 16. Winners will be announced in early June and will be invited to participate in the July Fourth parade on June 24. “We hope to get a big response,” Nielson stated. “I’m very excited to see how kids perceive Montville.”

they appreciate that.” Fishman’s books are available online through Author House and Amazon. She doesn’t have a website and feels that marketing is a difficult aspect when an author self-publishes.

inda Charles Fishman is a proud grandmother of five, but she’s not your typical “grandma.” Unlike grandmothers who are portrayed in books with gray hair in a bun and glasses, Fishman is a youthful grandmother. More like a glamorous movie star, she’s a slim brunette with a glowing smile who likes to do Pilates and play golf. When Fishman first started reading books to her grandchildren, she found that all grandmothers were stereotypical. “I felt I was a younger looking grandmother and so were my friends,” she said. So, when she decided to self-publish her books, she wanted to portray grandmothers in a fresh light. Working with illustrator Susan Shorter, Fishman sent photos of herself and her grandchildren. And the result is a younger looking grandmother in her fourbook series. Fishman’s four books in her series, “Grandma’s Girls” are entitled: “The Little Girl Who Loves

Books;” “The Little Girl Who Loves Make Believe;” “The Little Girl Who Loves Music;” and “The Little Girl Who Loves Color.” The books were inspired by her four granddaughters and she plans to write a book for her one grandson when he gets a little older. “Each time I’d see what attributes that kid [grandchild] would have,” she says, “but I’d make the books universal.” Her five grandchildren are Hayley Edelstein, 9, Stella Edelstein, 7, and David Edelstein, 2, of Mont-

Fishman, who resides in Florida for six months of the year and spends the other six months in Wayne, feels that her books cover everything that little girls and boys like. “I’d see that sparkle in their eye,” she said, referring to reading her grandchildren the books she wrote for them. Her own children are very proud of her. “This is very special,” she said. “They see that and

was written in 2012. She averaged writing one book a year until all four were finished. Fishman didn’t expect to write anymore, but now she wants to write a book for her first grandson. “He’s only two-and-ahalf,” she said. Fishman recommends parents and grandparents should read her books to children ages 3 to 7; then after that they could read the books on their own.

“I had a very good time writing them,” she said. “Each book is about the grandmother, me, encouraging.” Fishman, now retired, has a master’s degree in English and has taught as a professor of literature and writing in several New Jersey colleges. She was inspired by her mom, who is now 96, and was a college professor of literature.

Lake Hopatcong Foundation Needs Community Votes For Floating Classroom

he Lake Hopatcong Foundation is seeking the community’s votes to win up to $100,000 in funding to purchase a 40foot, custom built, covered pontoon boat to be used as a floating classroom. The classroom will be used for aquatic education for all districts in Morris County. It will hold full classes of students and other groups. The foundation is trying to win a grant from A Community Thrives, USA Today Network’s nationwide philanthropic program.

The program enables communities to act on ideas that improve the people, organizations, government and businesses around them. County residents can vote daily from through May 12 at www.lakehopatcongfoundation.org/vote. “This is a terrific educational concept that could be valuable to school districts throughout Morris County,’’ said Morris County Freeholder Kathy DeFillippo. “I urge county residents to support the concept by voting for it.’’

In Loving Memory Of Charlotte

n April 22, 2017, we lost a beautiful wife, mother, friend and nurse to a sudden illness. Charlotte Garcia Mazzo, 55, of Montville, passed away suddenly at Morristown Memorial Hospital in Morristown, surrounded by family and friends. I never believed in love at first sight until I saw my wife 25 years ago at a Christening. I bugged my friends for six months until they agreed to set up me up on a date with her. We fell in love and dated for several years before we got married. We were fortunate enough to have 25 great years together and have two wonderful children, Princess and Chancellor.

Charlotte worked tirelessly and selflessly as a caring and nurturing nurse. Despite suffering through painful rheumatoid arthritis every day, she showed up to work no matter what. She took care of countless patients during the last days of their lives with the same care she would show towards her own children and family. She touched the lives of so many and left an extraordinary legacy. My wife was always happy and laughing. She would light up any room she walked into whether it was her patient’s room or a friend’s home. If you were talking to Charlotte, she always made you feel like you were the most important person in the world to her.

My children and I are overwhelmed and touched by the love and support we have received from our families, friends and community. From the bottom of our hearts, we thank you for your kindness and gen-

erosity. “Lot”, I love you and I will miss you forever. We will carry you with us wherever we are. Until we meet again. Love always your husband, Buddy

Millburn Woman Records Testimonies Of Terminally Ill To Pass On Memories To Loved Ones

By Ann Marie Barron erry Glass of Millburn spends most of her days piecing together priceless memories for others to leave behind. Through her brainchild, Memories Live, a not-forprofit enterprise she runs independently in Millburn, she helps terminally ill people capture their experiences, personalities and wisdom through custom-made movies they can pass on to their loved ones. “It’s an opportunity for them to leave a piece of themselves behind, to share their personal history and family history and tell about what made them into who they are,’’ says Glass, 44, who holds a bachelor’s

degree in fine arts with a focus on videography and photography and a minor in psychology from Rutgers University as well as a master’s degree in art therapy from Pratt Institute, New York City. The idea was hatched when a young mother in a neighboring community died of lung cancer, leaving behind a husband and children under the age of five. “It struck me, as a mother of young kids, that these kids would never know the sound of their mom’s voice,’’ Glass says. “They’d never know advice she had to share. I thought, ‘what if I could help people leave a piece of themselves behind?’’’

She then reached out to a friend who had lost his mother when he was young. What did he think of the idea? He said it would have been a wonderful thing to have and he wished he’d had something like that to remember his mother by, she recalled. A few calls to area hospitals, hospices, nursing homes in the Millburn area, and Memories Live began. That was more than six years ago. Now a full-time job for Glass, most of the work gets done while her two children are in school, during evenings and on weekends. When she first began, she handed subjects a 20page questionnaire, though

SATURDAY, MAY 13, 2017

people told her it was a bit too much. “Now I have one page of questions for them,’’ she says. “I have all those other questions in my head, so it’s not so overwhelming.’’ Her clients’ average age is 55, and the youngest subject she’s filmed was 22 years old. “I really only offer this to adults,’’ she says, noting that it is most valuable to those who are leaving behind very young family members. “It’s for the child who didn’t’ get to know their parents,’’ she says. “They may see parts of their parents in themselves that they might not have been able to see, a dimple, the way

they like their coffee; it will hopefully fill some kind of void, preserve a memory. Those of us who are so blessed to have our loved ones here take it for granted.’’ July will mark her sev-

tor’s note,’’ she says. “I just go with ‘”honesty is the best policy.’’’ Glass said she’s willing to travel anywhere within a two-hour radius of her Millburn home. She funds her enterprise through grants, donations and an annual fundraiser, which took place last month. There is no charge for her service. When she sits down with a subject, usually in their home, the conversation is wide-ranging. “We’ll start talking about grandparents, memories of grandparents,’’ Glass explains. “Then, we’ll talk about their childhood, fond memories, schooling, college and advice for high school, advice for them to share about college, about your first job interview. We

touch on every stage of life. Then, I’ll ask them about what makes them, them – favorite foods, season, music, holiday - all the things that mold them into who they are.’’ Glass then spends hours combining the interview footage with music and family photos, creating a meaningful movie. The final product is delivered to the family in DVD format. The job can be at times painful and emotionally draining, she admits. “It affects me if I’m sitting across the camera from someone my age who has kids my kids’ age,’’ she says. “But, I walk into these people’s homes as a stranger and I leave as a friend. It’s really rewarding,

and people are so grateful that the good outweighs the bad.’’ Glass is hoping to acquire some funding through a contest she entered with a local Keller Williams Real Estate Agency, which is offering to donate proceeds from their 100th home sale to a local charity. Twelve non-profits are competing for $20,000 in prize money, to be divided among the top vote getters in an online contest. To vote for Memories Live, visit sueadler. com. Anyone interested in having a movie made, should call 646-245-1698; email Glass at Kerry. glass@memorieslive.org; or visit the website, www. memorieslive.org.

Scouts’ Pergola Provides Some Shade At Montville Twp. Dog Park

By Henry M. Holden he Montville Township Dog Park has a new pergola, thanks to Eagle Scout Michael Manetta, who led members of Montville Boy Scout Troop 74 in the completion of the project on April 2. The Montville Township Committee has been debating the use of Open Space Trust fund money to pay for maintenance projects on buildings at community parks and facilities across the township. Members have varying opinions on the use of the funds, but one proposal received a warm welcome. A pergola is a wooden gazebo-like structure, with seating. The cedar structure is approximately 10 x 12 feet with a pitched roof. The Montville Boy Scout Troop 74 has served the Montville area since 1942. Members of Troop 74 regularly donate their time in service to the community. Individual Scouts Such as Manetta organize service projects in order to fulfill their requirements for the rank of Eagle Scout. In the past five years, more

than 42 Scouts advanced to the rank of Eagle Scout, producing service projects for organizations that benefit the community. These projects, along with other ancillary Troop activities, resulted in 5,563 hours of community service and more than $33,000 raised. Manetta, is now a Life Scout and a tenth grader at Montville Township High School. “It took many months of careful planning and hard work,” Manetta said. He started planning the project in December, he said. In January, he appeared before the Montville Township Committee and obtained approval. Manetta proposed to build a pergola at the dog park, similar to what his older brother built at Masar Park for his Eagle project. “The structure cost approximately $1,300 to build, which the Dog Park Committee would use their budget to fund,” Manetta said. “I worked closely with members of the committee including Mrs. Stacy Gruca, Mr. John Perry, and Mr. Victor Canning. The committee unanimously

approved the project.” According to Scout Master Patrick Phalen, the next steps included a report detailing Manetta’s leadership in the completion of the project. “Michael has completed all of his 21 required merit badges, including the 13 that are specifically required to earn the Eagle

Scout rank,” Phalen said. Once the application was approved by the Dog Park Committee and the Boy Scouts Council, Manetta appeared before a formal board of review, Phalen said. Once the review was completed, he will have achieved the rank of Eagle Scout. Letitia Huffstutler, Re-

cording Secretary for the Dog Park Committee, said, “I love the new pergola! I think it brings beautiful curb appeal to the park. It is aesthetically pleasing, and brings much needed shade to the humans as well as our canine companions.” Deputy Mayor Frank Cooney, who is also liaison to the Dog Park Commit-

tee, said, “The Township Committee, as well as the Dog Park members, are extremely appreciative of the new pergola which is going to provide shade for the dogs during the hot summer months and is also aesthetically pleasing.”

How To Find A Comfortable Crate For Your Dog

any trainers and veterinarians recommend that dog owners buy dog crates as soon as possible after buying or adopting a dog. A pet owner’s choice of crate can go a long way toward ensuring the dog reacts positively to the crate. The Association of Professional Dog Trainers recommends the use of crates for puppies and dogs as a short-term training tool and as a safety precaution throughout the dog’s life. Crates can be invaluable in house training young dogs and helping to curtail destructive behavior, such as chewing. As more people

Dr. Matthew Krupnick, D.V.M.

travel with their pets, crates also provide a safe and convenient confinement option in the car, on an airplane and in pet-friendly hotel rooms. Crates also offer a cozy spot dogs can call their

own. Crates can feed dogs’ need for security. When used correctly, and not as punishment for a dog, crates can serve as comforting retreats for dogs when they need alone time. Where to buy? Crates can be purchased at most pet supply retailers, and they also are available at many department stores, hardware stores and online retailers. Pet owners who desire certain materials or have special requirements of their dog crates probably can find the biggest selection at pet supply stores. What size to get? It is important to consider the size of the dog

when purchasing a crate. The crate shouldn’t be too big nor too small. Choose a crate in which the dog can sit up straight without banging its head on the top of the crate. Dogs also should be able to turn around with ease and lie down on their sides with paws extended. Many pet owners make the mistake of getting a larger crate than is necessary. Dogs do not like to soil in their sleeping areas, but crates that are too large may encourage pooches to use one end as a bathroom and the other as a sleeping area, and ultimately that can make dogs less enthusiastic about crates. Also,

591 Newark Pompton Turnpike Pompton Plains, NJ

crates that are too large will not provide the feeling of security dogs crave. According to Labrador Training HQ, measure the dog while he is standing upright from nose to the base of the tail. Add five to six inches to this measurement, and that will be an ideal length for the crate. Also measure the dog while he is sitting upright. Again, add a few inches to the measurement, and this will be the minimum height of the crate. What about a growing puppy? Some owners prefer to upgrade crates as their dogs grow. Budget-conscious

pet owners can buy a larger crate and then use a divider to size it down for puppy use. The divider can be moved as necessary when the puppy grows. What are the different crate materials? Crates come in plastic, metal wire, wood, and nylon or another fabric material. Each has its own share of advantages and disadvantages. Wire crates are what many people envision in a crate, and such crates are among the most popular because they procontinued on next page

However, some dog owners feel wire crates bear too close a resemblance to cages. Fabric crates can be cozy and light, but dogs that are prone to scratching and tearing may be able to escape them easily. Plastic crates can be more private, and wood crates can be customized to fit with the décor of the house. Pet owners should shop around to find which crate

best fits the needs of their dogs. If crates will remain in the home, a more attractive crate may be a priority. If the crate will be used for travel, something lighter and more portable may be the best fit. Crates can be handy tools for dog owners, as crates provide a safe environment for dogs when owners aren’t home and can make great places for dogs to curl up in when they need a break from stimulation. Crates also are handy for travel. For more information on the right

ings with increased transparency, providing a basis for better and more open communication with the public, while dramatically improving productivity and saving thousands of dollars annually. Earlier this year, the Montville Twp. BOE voted unanimously to phase out paper documentation in favor of the board management solution called BoardDocs Pro. On March 7, all members of the Montville Twp. BOE, as well as the superintendent, assistant superintendents and business administration staff, began training on the new document management system. In only a few weeks, the BOE meetings have shifted to a nearly paperless format. “I am trying to work exclusively off the BoardDocs agenda this evening,” said BOE President Dr. Matthew Kayne at the April 18 meeting. “Tonight I am not looking at a paper agenda, but rather BoardDocs, as we work to complete our transition to a paperless system.” According to press materials provided by Emerald Data Solutions, Inc., the company which developed and markets BoardDocs Pro, “the service is

Mon., Tues., Wed. & Fri. 9-5:30 Thurs. 9-9 • Sat. 9-5 • Closed Sun. NJ License #13VH04493400

the fastest, easiest and most powerful paperless agenda solution on the market. Leveraging state-of-the-art technology, BoardDocs Pro does things no other board management solution can, for a price no other solution can match. BoardDocs Pro adds the most powerful board management tools ever created, including Comprehensive Meeting Management, Policy Management and a Multi-purpose Library, plus powerful and intuitive Workflow.” BoardDocs Pro uses a structured, collaborative Workflow that is specifically designed to meet the unique needs and legal requirements of public school boards, county commissions, municipal governments and a wide variety of other types of governing bodies. Additionally, through the MetaSearch feature, members of the governing body will also have access to best practices from other organizations that are using the system, allowing them to gain important knowledge about initiatives other governing bodies have considered and implemented. Electronic distribution will not only save time and resources, but it will

also provide unprecedented public access to agenda items and other board-related information via the Montville Township Public Schools’ Web site,www.montville.net. This process will allow interested parties to review information prior to meetings. After the meeting, individuals can review the agenda items and see what action the board took, complete with voting results. All documents associated with the meeting are automatically archived and can be accessed by date or by using the system’s comprehensive search feature. The new board management features can be accessed via the Montville Township Public Schools’ web site at www.montville.net. BoardDocs Pro information is available under the board of education/meeting schedule, minutes and agendas’ tabs.

The Coach

by Frank Minutolo he Coach is a new column that will be run monthly for business owners and individuals working for companies who want to continue learning so they can advance their careers. The publishers believe that independent businesses are one of the most important factors in our country’s job growth and economic success. Some of the areas we will be covering in this column are: Problem Solving, Goal Setting, Increasing Sales, Motivation, Time Management, etc. If you have an area you would like addressed or have a question now you can ask Frank Minutolo, The Coach, by emailing him at tsg973@ aol.com. The topic for today is Problem Solving. Problem solving- must be written and not verbal. We have a specific approach to problem solving that I would like to share with you. When there is a problem it is important to be specific. Anyone in the

company claiming there is a problem needs to follow this procedure in detail. What is the problem? Explain with specifics. The most important step in problem solving is defining the problem properly. This is the most critical step. The problem must be clearly defined and oftentimes doing this leads to the resolution. In defining the problem we should explore all possible causes of the problem. Do not just list the symptoms but look deeply for the “root cause” of the problem. This oftentimes requires a detailed analysis of the situation. How does it affect our business? Does it have a material effect on our business? How? Is it something that is a personal annoyance to you as opposed to a business problem? Can we quantify it? How do we measure it? What is the dollar impact? If it’s time we are talking about, how much time?

Once you have done this then we expect you to explore solutions and list them. Don’t stop at one but list all the possible solutions you can think of. Do not jump to an obvious conclusion. Take time to list all possible solutions. Once this is done you can then determine which are the best solutions for the problem at hand. Final step: Which solution would you recommend and why? How to implement solutions? What is needed to implement the solution? Do you have the resources to put this idea into action? If it cannot be implemented then there is no reason to pursue it. Test the solution. If we put a solution in place, what are the negative results that can come from it? Sometimes the reaction or response to a solution may create another problem. This has to be considered. When this is complete and you have the best solution…Do it!

Did You Know?

tudies have shown that music can have a beneficial impact on both mental and physical health. In a meta-analysis of 400 studies, researchers at McGill University in Montreal found that music can reduce stress and boost the immune system. That’s because listening to music increases the body’s production of immunoglobin A, an antibody that plays an

critical role in the function of the immune system and cells that attack viruses. A 2013 study even found that music can help children during visits to the emergency room. Researchers at the University of Alberta studied 42 children between the ages of 3 and 11, discovering that those who listened to relaxing music while having an IV inserted reported less pain than

children who did not listen to music. In addition, children who listened to music during the adminstration of the IV exhibited less anguish than the children who did not listen to music. Healthcare workers even noted the ease of administering IVs to children who were listening to music compared to patients who were not listening to music.

MTHS Color Run Launches New Tradition, Exceeds Fundraising Goals

he Montville Township High School Class of 2017 held its first annual MTHS Color Run on Sat., April 1. Despite temperatures in the low forties, with a wind chill and cloudy skies, the 5K Run was enthusiastically attended by students and adults of all ages. The Class of 2017 set a goal of 200 people in the hopes of raising at least $2,500. The funds are earmarked to offset upcoming senior class activities. At race time, more than 400 were in attendance and over $6,000 was added to the class’ treasury. “This is a wonderful outcome,” said MTHS Principal Douglas Sanford. “They more than achieved

their goals with this event. It is incredible. They needed this fundraiser to offset the expenses of their senior activities. I know the students are grateful for the support of the entire Montville Township community.” First place in the 5K went to Class of 2017 President Jonathan Kraft. Runners crossing the finish line in second and third place were seventh grade student Robert George and sixth grader Jeremy Reiss, both from Robert R. Lazar Middle School in Montville Township. Following the race, students, parents, teachers, families, friends, teams and even a Montville Township Board of Education Mem-

ber, Michael Johnson, gathered on the MTHS parking lot to participate in the Color Burst; a flourish of Color Run powders released with excitement. “A great day,” said Johnson, who wore his own MTHS Class of 2009 “Senior” t-shirt to the Color Run. “A lot of color, a lot of fun, and a great new tradition.” Class of 2017 Advisors, MTHS teachers, Dana Bertoli and Jennifer Dubois were awed by the community participation and success of the event. “We wanted this to be a healthy event with something for the entire community,” Dubois said. “It has more than exceeded our expectations.”
