Bloomingdale To Ring In 100 Years In 2018

By Dawn M Chiossi stablished in 1918, The Borough of Bloomingdale will be celebrating its 100 year anniversary on Feb. 23,, 2018.

Anyone who has ever celebrated a monumental event like a birthday or anniversary knows that it can, and should, be celebrated often.

The folks from Bloomingdale agree.

They are planning not one, but two celebrations to commemorate the town’s 100 year anniversary. They have set up a centennial committee of 12 to 14 people to plan events.

Those of all ages are invited to come and can enjoy this

E

once in a lifetime, small town celebration. So save the dates of Saturday, Feb. 24, for its Winter Celebration and Saturday, June 23, for its Summer Celebration.

While people generally can’t boast about living for a whole century, places and locations are a different matter.

Through them, people observe growth and differences.

Through them, people can witness history and celebrate milestones.

Even though plans are still in their early stages, many in Bloomingdale are thrilled.

“It’s exciting,” says John D’Amato, Centennial Commit-

tee member. “It’s a way of celebrating pride in the community.”

Events will take place in the very center of town in B l o o m i n g d a l e ’s Sloan Park, and even beyond. For the February festivity, attendees will be treated to a virtual winter wonderland theme.

Ideas include a temporary skating rink, horse and carriage rides, caroling, Bloomingdale- themed -decorated Christmas trees and a display of Bloomingdale history and memorabilia.

“It’s a Winterfest,” D’Amato says.

“We wanted to have this event as close as possible to the actual anniversary

of the town. And Saturday is an ideal day for most people when you are talking about a day-long event.”

In addition, the celebration will be enhanced by the historic exhibit at the Bloomingdale Methodist Church.

D’Amato credits former teacher and Bloomingdale historian Tom Riley for it.

From photos to exhibits, to the history of several town organizations such as the Boy and Girl Scouts, the exhibit

will have many delights woven into it.

Warm and passionate on the subject of local history, Riley shares that

Federal Hill will definitely be a fixture in the exhibit. The site boasts of the 1781 Pompton Mutiny, a cont. on page 8

Sloan Park Slated To Be A Town Gem When Reopened

By Anya Bochman loan Park of Bloomingdale, slated to reopen this summer, will see its opening moved to a future date, after the borough is done working with the New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection to ensure that construction doesn’t disturb the habitats of certain endangered species.

The DEP has set specific timelines for completing structures that will protect wood turtles, Indiana bats and trout; these timelines must be satisfied before work on the park itself can begin.

Although this decree has stalled the plan for construction on the park, the local government is determined to see Sloan Park renovated and open to the public in the future.

Bloomingdale Mayor Jonathan Dunleavy has inherited the park closure from previous governments. He recently attended a planning meeting with a contractor after a bid on park construction was higher than ex-

S

pected. It was then that the DEP announced its plan.

Sloan Park, which the mayor described as “an island in the middle of a river,” was closed in 2000 due to its repeated flooding of Main Street. Recurrent storms left playground equipment damaged and soil eroded, and flooding of Main Street posed a constant threat to businesses located there. With up to $30,000 in damages to the park from 2000 – 2011 and Hurricane Irene wreaking further destruction, officials decided only a permanent fix would suffice.

“I had the funding in place since 2011,” Dunleavy says of the $600,000 in funds secured that year. “We want to fix the problem once and for all.”

The DEP granted the borough the permit for construction on the park in August 2016, with a plan to begin a build-out this summer/early fall. That plan has now been delayed by the trout, Indiana bats and wood turtles.

According to an NJDEP sched-

PERFORMING ARTS ACADEMY

ule, “trout production” will prohibit any construction work in the park from September to March.

A silt fence/coffer dam will be installed October to July to restrict the wood turtles, a species under high conservation concerns in the U.S. Finally, the preservation of the endangered species of hibernating Indiana bats will halt production from October to April.

“The DEP starts in October, and will hopefully be done in July,” said Dunleavy. “Then we can start.”

The plan is to construct 500foot high gabion walls in the riverbank to stop the water from overflowing. The construction will also leave the channel that the water has cut in the riverbanks every time it overflowed in the past.

The new Sloan Park will do away with its past recreational uses and will instead be focused on a natural habitat.

“We’ll maybe install a country-looking bridge, hold public events, concerts,” Dunleavy stat-

ed. “Sloan Park will be the center of our downtown – it will be a gem.”

Frank O’Reilly, chair of the Bloomingdale Environmental Commission, pointed out that Main Street development is tied in to Sloan Park’s reopening. The Federal Hill court case has been settled in August, and the property will be sold to a developer.

As a result, the town will receive a sum of $10 - $16 million dollars, with a large portion to be used for Main Street redevelopment.

The original conflict came when Tilcon New York wanted to use the land to expand its quarrying operations. Objections arose as Federal Hill has historic significance as the site of the Pompton Mutiny, a Revolutionary mutiny involving about 200 Continental Army troops.

“Once Main Street development sees money, Sloan Park will become a valuable asset,” O’Reilly said. “One complements the other.”

New Guide Leads People Through Historic Pompton Lakes

By Elsie Walker alking through Pompton Lakes might be thought of as a walk through history.

There’s a store that during WWII called itself a bicycle shop, but was really a front for rocket research. Part of the U.S.S. Maine, whose sinking started the Spanish-American war, can

be found in town. Perhaps one of the most recognizable figures in Pompton Lakes is the statue of boxer Joe Louis located in Joe Louis Memorial park, adjacent to the Elks Club. Where the Elks and the house adjacent to it stand was once the site of Doc Bier’s Boxing Camp, where Louis trained.

learn a little more about the history of Pompton Lakes, but not just aimlessly walk around looking for history plaques to read, can use the new Pompton Lakes Historic Guide. Physical copies were given out during Pompton Day, but to make it more accessible to residents and others interested in the town’s history, the guide has been put online at http://www. pomptonlakesgov.com/DocumentCenter/View/505. There it can be viewed and printed.

“The Historic [Preservation] Commission began talking about the need for a new brochure at my very first meeting back in March,” said Laura Jennings, who took the lead on the project.

“Copies of the existing brochures were distributed and the committee agreed that they were out of date. The project did not begin in earnest until June with the goal of finishing in time for Pompton Day. The month of June was spent compiling copy from various sources, including the two previous brochures. Al Evange-

lista, who serves on the committee, was an incredible resource.”

After the copy was finalized, they commissioned local artist Dawn Lipman of Sunny Side Up Design, Inc. to work on it and that she made it into something that truly captures the beauty of the town.

Pompton Lakes Historic Preservation Commission Chair Mered Frankel noted that Council liaison to the Historic Preservation Commission, Ekamon Venin, helped to get the brochure online.

Jennings said that photos used in the brochure were taken from previous brochures and through reaching out to local residents via Facebook. However, because of the tight deadline, not all the photos were used.

Both Jennings and Frankel explained that it is planned to put those photos not used and some post cards online.

Frankel explained “We don’t have a museum or anything to showcase these things.” Thus, online is the best way to share continued on page 8

Pequannock Township’s Quilting For A Cause Helps Warm Hurricane Harvey Victims

By Dawn M Chiossi ometimes one little quilt can do so much.

Recently, Pequannock Township’s Quilting for a Cause, in conjunction with Jacksonville Chapel of Lincoln Park, created quilts and sent them to aid the victims of Hurricane Harvey in Texas. They did so, hoping to give the survivors warmth and comfort in such a troubling, insecure time.

Several people made the trek themselves.

Concerned about the people that they knew would invariably be homeless because of this disaster, the folks from Pequannock Township’s Quilting for a Cause didn’t hesitate to roll up their sleeves and get to work. Through their limitless dedication and caring, members sent about 30 quilts to Texas.

But altruism isn’t unusual for this organization. Their main mission is to quilt blankets for the homeless.

So far the folks from Quilting for a Cause have created 421 quilts, and aspire to finish 500 by the end of the year. These even include 40 baby quilts.

In addition to Hurricane Harvey victims, Pequannock’s Quilting for A Cause has given quilts to the homeless on the streets of New York, to the Oasis Organization in Patterson, to the NJ Food and the Clothing Rescue in Newark, “Wherever there is a need, we want to help,” says Rosemary Phalon of Pequannock.

S

Quilting for a Cause was her brainchild. Turning a lifelong passion for quilting and creativity into a way to help others, Phalon is only too thrilled to do so.

“I have been sewing and quilting all of my life,” she says. “My mother taught me, and I have been quilting since the’80’s.”

By simply sharing that artistic and productive gift with others, Phalon and all the members of this great organization pay it forward.

Phalon insists that Quilting for a Cause is much more a volunteer organization than a club. Quilting for a Cause has only been in existence since January of this year, and has been fueled by the compassion and diligence of its members. What began as a small idea, a labor of love, it progressed into an amazing mission.

“I started the group in my home with my sister in law, my niece and her three children,” Phalon says. “Then soon we were quickly joined by some friends and some Girl Scouts. Then when the group got too big for my living room we contacted Pequannock Parks and Recreation Department to use the Senior House.”

Now Quilting for a Cause boasts of 48 volunteers so far.

The organization is for folks of all ages who want to donate their time and talents to this wonderful cause. Impressively, the youngest member is only 8 years old.

“The people are wonderful,” says Phalon. “They are very gen-

St. Andrew’s Thrift Shop Back To Regular Hours For Fall

S

t. Andrew’s Thrift Shop in Lincoln Park resumed its regular hours in early September.

The hours are Wednesday, Thursday and Saturday from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m.

On Fridays, the shop is open from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. Items may be consigned from 10 a.m. to noon, Thursday through Sat-

urday. Wednesdays are only for shopping, not consigning.

The consignee receives 60 percent of the sale price of an item and Good Shepherd Episcopal Church receives 40 percent.

The shop sells clothing, brica-brac and household items. For more information, call 975-6942854 during operating hours.

erous in giving their time to do this. These are an amazing group of people that I didn’t even know before January.”

With Quilting for a Cause, everyone puts their heart and the desire to give back into each and every project. In fact, Phalon asserts that not everyone in the organization sews.

“Some sew and quilt, while others do cutting, pressing and pinning,” she says. “Since there are so many facets to making a quilt, these are all essential skills.

Phalon asserts that there is one member who just presses the quilted squares fabric with an iron so that it is smooth and perfect for the sewing. “”She does this continuously,” Phalon says, “And most people hate to iron,” she jokes.

In fact, it can be said that everything connected to Quilting for a Cause is based on altruism.

“All of our quilts are made from donations of fabric, thread

and quilt batting from others,” Phalon says. “Some of them are even dropped off on her porch!

But donations can be dropped off at Parks and Recreation Department in Pompton Plains as well.

Even the Boy Scouts are hoping to get involved in this worthy cause: Phalon shares that a local chapter wishes to build a shed to store their quilting materials.

“I can’t wait to hear how it went,” Phalon says, regarding the expected delivered on Sept. 23. “I want to hear if they want more quilts.”

Sometimes one little quilt can do so much.

“I’ve shed a lot of tears over this organization, happy tears,” Phalon shares. “And they all have to with the generosity of people.“ For further information or details on Quilting for A Cause, contact the Pequannock Township Parks and Recreation Department at 973-835-5700.

decipher in modern translations,” he says. “By the end of the talk you’ll know how to start, where to look, and what to look for. You’ll also have a list of references and guidebooks to aid you on your journey.”

Riverdale Public Library Director Therese McClachrie says, “Genealogy is one of the fastest growing hobbies in this country. Our library has MyHeritage genealogy software available, provided through the MAIN Consortium of 38 libraries, and we know our patrons enjoy the search. When people use genealogy software, it is helpful to have historical context to interpret the results, and to help in the search.

In March we had a genealogist who specialized in tracing Irish roots, and our patrons really enjoyed her perspective and guidance in searching for Irish ancestors. We plan to offer speakers on other ancestry groups.”

alogy. You may find that your German ancestors didn’t come from Germany. You’ll find plenty of records in Europe, and they’ll all be written in German, unless they are in Latin, or French or Polish, etc. in a different alphabet than you are accustomed.”

Stein has been researching his own roots since 1998, tracing back to a little village in the Kingdom of Hannover in 1650. He has made guest appearances on the “Family Historian” television show and has given genealogy talks throughout New Jersey and Pennsylvania. He is also a four term former president of the Morris Area Genealogy Society and a member of the Bernards Township Family History Interest Group.

What is interesting about Stein’s presentation is that he will be providing information as opposed to performing genetic tests.

continued from page 5 them.

That was the theory behind putting brochure online, too: to make this guide available to more residents and make the town’s past known.

“Like many small towns, we have a rich history,” said Frankel.

The brochure may also open some people’s eyes to things which they’ve seen, but never knew the significance. Jennings had her own “ah ha” moment with the U.S.S. Maine monument.

“The copper ventilator from the Maine is one of the largest relics from the ship to survive and it’s right here in town,” she said.

“I pass it all the time and never knew what it was until I began to work on this project. I hope everyone who reads the brochure learns something new.”

Frankel shared some tidbits about Heavyweight Champion Joe Louis.

Next year will be the 80th anniversary of the historic second fight Joe Louis had with Max Schmeling, on June 22,

1938. Louis’ defeat of Schmeling, whom Hitler supported as a member of his master race, made him a national hero. Frankel explained Louis is said to have stated that he lost the first fight because he didn’t train in the right spot; he didn’t train in Pompton Lakes. When he did, he won the second Schmeling fight. Besides training in Pompton Lakes, Louis also contributed to the community by holding exhibition bouts to raise money for the town’s first ambulance and also raised money to help build a police communications center.

While the Pompton Lakes Historic Guide can be used by residents to take their own walking tour, the Historic Preservation Commission will be having its first walking tour; that will be scheduled for the fall. For more details, people can follow the commission’s webpage at http://www.pomptonlakesgov. com/212/Historic-Commission or email Jennings at jennings. lauraf@gmail.com.

“Come wander with us,” invited Frankel.

Riley is enthusiastic regarding DeLazier Field as well and the famous Bloomingdale Troopers baseball team, “Named after a New Jersey State Trooper’s son who was killed in the line of duty.

They named the team in honor of him,” Riley shares.

In June the Bloomingdale’s centennial celebration turns summery, and hopes to be even bigger than the winter’s. Ideas that are brewing so far include rides and carnival games. There will be great concerts with local bands, a beer garden and food trucks. A fireworks display to cap off the night!

And everyone is involved in the milestone celebration. According to D’Amato, it is a true community event. The schools are getting involved, as well as the fire and police departments, Parks and Recreation Department and various other organi-

zations.

Events and activities are continuously growing and expanding, so be sure to stay tuned.

When asked what stands out in his mind the most regarding these events so far, D’Amato praises the people involved, absolutely. He mentions Riley as well as Former Police Chief Ed Fletcher and Former Fire Chief, Bill Sondermeyer.

“These guys all have a great knowledge of our town,“ D’Amato says. “They are a total asset to the town and the committee.

Listening to these guys talk, it’s great.”

Even though it sounds like an enormous undertaking to coordinate a centennial celebration, it is great fun for D’Amato.

“I’m honored,” he says. “To be invited in doing something like this is an honor for me.”

Did You Know?

B

efore saying “so long” to yard work at the end of autumn, homeowners should remove thatch from their lawns.

Thatch is dead grass that’s often identifiable by its yellowish tint, and this dead grass, if left to loom in the lawn over the winter, can block air and moisture from making its way into the soil. That can make it difficult for a lawn to recover come the spring and may even cost homeowners a substantial amount of money to address when winter finally skips town. When removing thatch, resist the temptation to rake with lots of physical force, as raking too hard can harm the lawn. Instead, commit to three or four easy passes with the rake, as this will collect the thatch without damaging the lawn. Many people rent a dethatcher from a nearby lawn and garden sup-

ply store, and such a device can make the process of removing thatch much easier. However, be sure to clean the machine before using it on your lawn, as there is no way of telling what condition the previous renter’s lawn was in when he or she used the device.

Failing to clean the dethatcher can spread disease from a previous renter’s lawn onto your own, and that can prove another costly mistake come the spring when your lawn is looking to rebound.

If seeding the lawn in early fall, which can be a great time to reseed, remove the thatch before laying down any new seed. If you wait to remove thatch until after you have laid down new seed, then the lawn likely won’t benefit from the seed and you will likely just rake the new seed away when it comes time to remove thatch.

‘Orphan Train’ Program Planned At Kinnelon Library

O

rphan Train Riders, a presentation about 19th Century orphan trains in New York City, will be held Wednesday, Sept. 27 at 7 p.m. in the Kinnelon Library.

Sponsored by the Friends of the Kinnelon Library, the program will discuss the trains, which took nearly 250,000 chil-

M

dren from orphanages in the city and fostered them out all across the United States.

Tom Riley will recant the stories of the orphan train riders.

The program will include a video lecture presentation, handouts and books for sale by the author.

For more information or to sign up, call 973-838-1321.

Did You Know?

any times it is to a homeowner’s advantage to open the drapes and let sunlight shine in. Still, for shift workers, parents of young children who need to nap or just those who have south- or west-facing windows that make rooms overly warm, darkening the room is necessary at certain times of the day. The easiest and most effective way to do so is to

purchase blackout curtains. Depending on the brand and quality of the curtains, some of them may block out sunlight entirely while providing additional benefits. While preventing sunlight from entering a room, blackout curtains, which are thicker than traditional curtains, may also be effective at insulating rooms against drafty windows and providing noise reduction.

Weekly Class Will Teach Rumba, Waltz, Foxtrot At Kinnelon Library

P

articipants in the ballroom and Latin dance classes at the Kinnelon Library can “release their inner Fred and Ginger,’’ from October through December.

Meouch - Common Cat Ailments

C

ats are widely considered low maintenance pets, but even the most independent feline can use a helping hand from his owner every now and again. That helping hand is perhaps most necessary when cats find themselves facing a health issue they can’t overcome. The following are a handful of common cat ailments and what cat owners can do to help their furry friends go back to living life to the fullest.

Feline lower urinary tract diseases Many things can cause a cat to get a feline lower urinary tract disease, or FLUTD. A collection of clinical symptoms that can be caused by a host of factors, FLUTD can prevent a cat from fully emptying its bladder and may even lead to a fatal block of the urethra, which is the tube connecting the bladder to the outside of the body. Cats that are

overweight or obese might be susceptible to urinary tract problems, and those suffering from FLUTD may experience frequent or painful urination, bloody urine, and frequent licking of the urinary opening. Other indicators of urinary tract problems in cats include a hard distended abdomen, prolonged squatting in the litter box, and possibly fear or avoidance of the litter box that leads to soiling in inappropriate places.

Cat owners who suspect their cats are suffering from FLUTD should bring their cats to the veterinarian immediately. The veterinarian will conduct a complete physical exam and order a urinalysis, and the results of these tests will determine treatment, which varies depending on the cause of the problem and the doctor’s prognosis.

Fleas Fleas may be most associated

with dogs, but cats commonly get fleas as well. Cats with fleas may be constantly scratching at their skin, which may be covered with tiny black dots. Such dots are flea dirt. In addition, cats with fleas may suffer hair loss and their skin may be noticeably red or irritated.

Fleas pose a serious threat to cats, as they can live on them for more than a year and increase their risk of anemia, a condition in which cats have less of the red blood cells they need to car-

ry oxygen to the tissues in their bodies. A veterinarian can design a course of treatment for cats suffering from fleas, and that treatment plan may include medication (oral or topical), powders and foams.

Tapeworms The most common internal parasite found in cats, tapeworms can live inside a cat’s small intestine, and cat owners may be shocked to learn that these parasites can grow as long as two feet. Cats fighting a tapeworm infection may vomit or lose a noticeable amount of weight. But it’s important that cat owners recognize vomiting is very common in cats, and not necessarily indicative of tapeworms. The best way for cat owners to determine if their cat’s vomiting and/or weight continued on page 13

Common Cat Ailments... continued from page 12 loss is the result of a tapeworm is to examine the feline’s feces and the areas around its anus. Small white worms that may look like grains of rice may appear in the feces or around the anus of a cat with tapeworms.

Cats often get tapeworms as a result of fleas. Cats may bite or eat fleas that harbor immature tapeworms in their intestines, so it’s important that owners of cats with fleas address the flea issue first before addressing the tapeworms. If a flea issue is allowed to continue without treatment while a tapeworm issue is addressed, the tapeworms are likely to return when the cat eats or bites another flea. Veterinarians will likely prescribe medication to treat tapeworm infections.

Diarrhea Diarrhea is another common ailment in cats and can be the result of an allergy, spoiled food, or infection. Some cases of diarrhea are indicative of a more serious problem, such as cancer or liver disease. Diarrhea that lasts

longer than 24 hours should be brought to the attention of a veterinarian. Cats whose stool appear dark or bloody should also be brought to the veterinarian immediately.

Cats have independent streaks that may result in cat owners missing certain signs that their cats are having health problems. Cat owners should always be on the lookout for signs that their cats are unhealthy and take immediate action if any such signs appear.

Dr. Matthew Krupnick is the owner of the Pequannock Animal Hospital. He grew up in Kinnelon and is happy to be home – with his wife, three cats, and two dogs – to provide quality and compassionate care for pets in the community. The Pequannock Animal Hospital is located at 591 Newark Pompton Turnpike in Pompton Plains. You can reach the hospital by calling 973-616-0400.

3 Ways to Upgrade Fall Entertaining

T

he transition from summer to fall – from lounging poolside to cozying up fireside – offers opportunities for a different take on entertaining your guests in unexpected ways. Whether it’s a simple dinner with a few friends or a big bash for a crowd, there are simple touches of glamour and charm that can take your hosting skills to a new level.

To help guide your vision for entertaining this autumn, top sommelier Chantelle Pabros and Spring Street

Social Society’s hosting guru Amy Virginia Buchanan shared their favorite tips.

Soak in the Season The bold colors of changing leaves and vivid sunsets mean fall is arriving.

Let this backdrop serve as the perfect setting for a toast the next time you host friends. Before guests arrive, set up soft and colorful cotton-weave throw blankets so everyone can keep warm as they enjoy Mother Nature from the comfort of the backyard.

Pabros and Buchanan suggest incorporating shades of the season, including deep maroons, oranges and peaches, into a spread of finger foods. Visit your favorite local bakeshop and pick up items for a sweet station such as macarons and scones with filling like berries, butter, clotted cream and artisanal jams. As the sun sets, match the rose-colored sunset with the deep hue of Champagne Taittinger Prestige Rosé.

Pairing Perfection A dinner party is the ultimate opportunity to show off your hosting skills as well as your taste, with wine pairings to complement each course. Take your guests on a culinary journey featuring unexpected dishes that celebrate the season.

Buchanan suggests impressing your table with a delightfully classic main course such as Pollock en Papillote paired with Champagne Taittinger Prélude Grands Crus, which is made

con

exclusively with grapes sourced from Grand Cru vineyards.

Lights, Cameras, Cheers Pabros and Buchanan agree that a movie night is the perfect way to share laughs and memories without much effort or time. After a delicious meal, invite your friends to watch a classic movie. For this part of the evening, popcorn is an obvious snack of choice.

Instead of one big bowl, try taping together newspaper cones or using take-

out boxes to create individual servings.

You can also put together a salt bar for toppings such as matcha salt, truffle salt and grated cheeses. To sweeten things up, Pabros suggests picking up a jar of salted caramel and drizzling over the popcorn.

“Try pairing it with Champagne Taittinger Brut La Française,” Pabros said. “The peachy, nutty, butterscotch notes of the Champagne pair well with the caramel-coated popcorn.” cont. on page 13

Get Your Home Fall And Winter Ready With Five Simple Projects

f boots, a warm hat and a tunedup snow blower are the only items on your winter preparation list, your home maintenance plan may need a makeover. These simple home maintenance projects can help lower your energy bills, prevent more costly repairs and/or increase the lifespan of your home.

1. Heating & Ventilation — Examine your fireplace and chimney system to ensure that no soot or creosote has collected. Any cracks or voids could potentially cause a fire. Before you turn the furnace or boiler on, replace the air filter and hire a pro-

fessional to inspect the unit more thoroughly. These steps will improve the efficiency and life of your furnace and will ensure stable indoor air quality.

2. Seal Windows and Doors — If not properly sealed, windows and doors can be a major culprit for heat loss.

To keep the warm air inside, inspect the weather-stripping around your home’s windows and doors for leaks, rot or decay. Repair or replace structural framing, and caulk inside and out, if necessary.

3. Insulate well — One of the easiest and most effective defenses

against heat loss is proper insulation. Prevent cold drafts from entering and the loss of heated air through basement headers, which, when left exposed, can make your furnace work harder. Look for a moisture-resistant product offering high thermal performance, such as Roxul Comfortbatt insulation. This type of mineral wool insulation makes installation simple.

All that’s needed is a serrated blade or bread knife. Cut the batt to fit the cavity and press into place.

The insulation will help improve energy efficiency as soon as it’s in place and

Transforming Lives By Transforming Living Spaces...

It’s What We Do.”

provide savings over the lifetime of your home. Comfortbatt can also be used to top or replace old attic insulation. Aim for an R-50 or a depth of 16 inches.

4. Backyard Care — Save your property from potential damage by trimming overgrown trees and shrubs to prevent ice-laden branches from thrashing against electrical wires and your home’s exterior. Drain/shut off any exterior faucets and sprinkler systems to prevent freezing. Ensure rain or snow drains away from the house to avoid foundation problems.

5. Roof and Gut-

ters — Inspect your roof for shingles that are warped, damaged or even missing to prevent a future leak. Use roofing cement and a caulking gun to seal joints where water could penetrate, such as around the chimney, skylights or vent pipes. Make sure that your gutters

and downspouts are securely fastened.

Downspouts should extend at least five feet away from the home to prevent flooding.

When it comes to preventative maintenance, a little time and effort can save thousands in energy costs and repair bills over the lifetime of your home.

Real Estate Partners Share Keys To Success In Marketing And Sales

By Cheryl Conway ooking out for the best interest of their clients, using the latest technology and simply enjoying helping people are just some of the key factors that have led two local real estate sales associates toward success.

Broker/Sales Associate Ronald “Ron” Aiosa, of Pompton Plains, and Sales Associate William “Bill” Boswell, of Kinnelon, make quite a team at Boswell Aiosa & Associates, Coldwell Banker Residential Brokerage. Both licensed since August 2005, they have been with the firm since June 2012, with offices in Wyckoff, Butler and Jersey City.

While their accomplishments keep accumulating, they currently run the top team for Coldwell Banker in New Jersey in total transactions for 2017.

They placed number one in the company for most homes sold in two of the last three years, and earned the designation of Platinum from the NJ Association of Realtors Circle of Excellence, the highest designation available.

In 2013, Boswell earned the prestigious designation of “30 under 30” by the National Association of Realtors, naming him one of the top 30 agents in the country under the age of 30.

Their mantra is “Proudly Providing the Highest Level of Real Estate Service in the Industry,” notes Aiosa. They cover sales in Bergen, Morris, Passaic, Hudson and Essex counties. “We have a team that has people specializing in each aspect of a transaction,

L

whether it be only handling a buyer or only handling a seller.”

Marketing in multiple counties has been beneficial, as well as meeting the needs of all clients, no matter their financial status.

“What makes us so unique is our ability to market between multiple counties, bringing buyers and sellers together who would ordinarily not be able to come together with an agent that was only stationed in one singular location,” says Aiosa.

“The other feature that makes us so unique is our ability to service clients across all financial capabilities or interests,” he adds.

“We offer a residential division, which covers the broad spectrum of your standard real estate sale or purchase. Additionally, we offer a Luxury Division catering to the needs of the affluent buyers and sellers, recognizing homes of that caliber require a different type of marketing approach, and our buyers in that market expect something a little different as well.”

They also offer “what we call our Metro-Luxe Division which specifically caters to the Gold Coast of New Jersey, servicing communities along the Hudson River such as Jersey City, Hoboken, Weehawken and more.”

As realtors, the pair admits to really enjoying their line of work.

“What we love most about our industry is truly helping people,” says Aiosa. “There aren’t too many experiences in life that can rival the feeling of handing over keys to someone’s

new home. Whether it be a first purchase, a move up buyer, someone downsizing or even an investment property.

“We take great pride in looking out for the best interests of our clients, knowing that we did all we could to make sure they made the most sound decision possible,” continues Aiosa. “Our clients come before anything when it comes to our business.

We make sure we look out for them throughout every step in the transaction, making sure they understand each and every move and always looking out for their best interests.

“We pride ourselves in exceeding all of our clients’ expectations,” Aiosa continues. “A real estate transaction has many moving parts which creates a lot of stress. We do our best to remove as much of the stress from the transaction as possible, handling as many tasks for the client as possible.”

Clients can count on Aiosa and Boswell for serving their best

interests.

“Our marketing platform has been proven to net our clients’ higher sale prices,” says Boswell.

“Our marketing plan is unique to each and every home as we know and understand that no two homes are alike and require a different approach to making sure that home sells!” adds Aiosa. “Buyers come to us because of our team that specializes in handling buyers and the needs they have.”

Keeping up with the latest in technology has helped the partners to succeed.

“We pride ourselves on bringing new technologies, techniques and strategies to this business,” says Boswell. “We recognize that real estate is consistently evolving and we always maintain the position of being on the cutting edge.”

They are available to their clients seven days a week. Call 973-224-4605 or email RonAiosa@gmail.com or Bill@NorthJerseyLuxury.com.
