Electric prices deregulated in New Jersey:
Businesses and Residents Save Up To 15% Monthly
and Receive A $50 Rebate Check
T
hanks to an innovative and comprehensive initiative
from the state of New Jersey, you are now able to
choose who you buy energy from. As with the
Phone Company and Cable Television, the state of New
Jersey has deregulated electric service. While your local
utility, Jersey Central Power and Light or Public Service
Electric will continue to be responsible for maintaining the
existing network of wires, pipes and poles, other licensed
suppliers can now provide the electricity at lower rates. It’s
the same electricity only at a lower price.
The relationship with your business or household does
not change and your utility company will continue to bill
you each month and service your account. And, if you have
a service contract with either PSE&G or JCP&L or if you

are enrolled in budget billing, nothing changes. Except
every dollar saved goes directly into your pocket.
iConnectEnergy and Verde Energy are offering all busi-
nesses and residences in NJ reduced pricing which can lead
to documented savings of over 15% a month on the supply
portion of your electric bill. Additionally, a $50 check is
issued to each business or residence for signing up. There
are no contracts to sign and the enrollment takes just min-
utes.
This is so simple and easy. Now purchasing energy is
comparable to shopping in the supermarket with your
supermarket discount card. If you are buying Corn Flakes
and the person in front of you is buying Corn Flakes, you
use your supermarket discount card and pay much less for
the same Corn Flakes. It’s now the
same situation in purchasing your ener-
gy. You now have a choice and you
have the discount card, its called
iConnectEnergy. Customers can visit
the website to enroll and receive infor-
mation about their $50 rebate check
and discount of up to 15% or more. All
of this is at no cost to the business or
consumer. From your internet browser

It’s that simple and you’ll see the sav-
ings each and every month for your
home or business in your wallet.

One-On-One Attention At Matty’s Auto Body
By Cheryl Conway

an affordable price
customers can count
on Matty’s Auto Body Shop
in Hopatcong.
In business for 11 years,
the full-service body shop
offers frame repair, collision
and glass work, painting
and detailing for all mixes
and models of cars and
trucks both foreign and
domestic. Towing and rental
cars are also available.
Unlike large shops, auto-
mobile owners will be
pleased with the one-on-one
attention they will receive at
Matty’s Auto Body.
“I am like a mom and
pop store,” says Matthew
Ursillo of Landing- presi-
dent of Matty’s Body Shop
LLC. “I’ve worked at large
shops and I see how people
are treated. You are basical-
ly like a number. I try to
give a one on one presenta-
tion. I treat people at a per-
sonal level not as a num-
ber.”
Customers are also guar-
anteed quality work.
“I stand behind my
work,” says Ursillo. “I guar-
antee my work that is per-
formed.”
Ursillo’s “on-going spe-
cial” is his fair pricing.
“I try to work with the
people because times are
tough,” he says. “I try to
stay affordable if someone
has to pay for it out of their
pocket” and is not covered
by insurance. “I try to help
people out the best I can
with the price.”
Working in the field for
the past 30 years, Ursillo
had worked for a few major
car dealers before venturing
off on his one. He opened
Matty’s Auto Body Shop in
June 1999.
“I enjoy it,” he says. “It’s
a talent I was given. I was
always fascinated by
that…when the car goes in,
how do they get the dent

Operation Smile
At J. Thomas Jewelers
By Cheryl Conway
A
smile on someone’s face does not
stop with a jewelry purchase at J.
Thomas Jewelers in Flanders and
Sparta.
The full-service jewelry company is
reaching out internationally to put that
smile on children’s faces by collecting
donations for Operation Smile - an interna-
tional medical humanitarian
organization that provides safe, recon-
structive surgery for children and young
adults born with cleft lip, cleft palate and
other facial deformities.
J. Thomas Jewelers will match every
dollar that is donated through its stores
toward Operation Smile. For $240, in 45
minutes of time, a child’s facial deformity
can be corrected through Operation Smile.
“For such a small amount to change a
kid’s life, how can you not do it?” says
Leonard Girardo, owner of J. Thomas
Jewelers. “Here is something you can send
in a check and change a kid’s life forever.”
Since July, J. Thomas Jewelers has been
collecting donations for this worldwide
children’s medical charity. Customers can
place money in containers located at either
store or mail in checks.
“Every time we collect $240, we will
match it” and send in $480. Girardo says his
goal is to help repair the smiles of 100 chil-
dren.
Operation Smile began in 1982, after Dr.
William P. Magee Jr. - a plastic surgeon-
and his wife, Kathy Magee- a nurse and
clinical social worker, learned about the
need for surgical facial repair while travel-
ing to the Philippines with other medical
volunteers to repair children's cleft lips and
cleft palates. They discovered hundreds of
children ravaged by deformities and were
forced to turn away the majority of those
who sought help.
Through the help of thousands of dedi-
cated medical volunteers, advocates and
donors, Operation Smile was established to
provide free surgeries to repair these facial
deformities for children around the world.
According to operationsmile.org, “more
than 200,000 children are born with a
severe cleft condition each year — often
unable to eat, speak, socialize or smile. In
some places these children are shunned and
rejected. And in too many cases, their par-
ents can't afford to give them the surgeries
they need to live a normal life.”
Girardo says he was looking for a way
to give back, and with Operation Smile, “in

Art At The Barn...All Year Round!

L
ocated on a country farm in Long
Valley, Art at the Barn opened it's
doors for the first time this June. "So
far I am really pleased." says owner
Dorothy Jaretsky. "We've gotten off to a
great start and I'm very impressed with the
children's abilities. Every child that comes
here loves art, and has their own style
whether its detailed drawing, an expressive
use of color, or a whimsical edge to their
work. My goal is to help develop and nur-
ture that style while teaching the basic prin-
ciples of art."
Children work in groups which allows
them to draw inspiration from each other. "
I like that we can share our opinions." says
9 yr. old Matthew Stanton. The kids of
AATB work in various media and go out-
side when possible to explore, draw and
gather ideas for projects. "We have a casual

Board Members Sought
for New A Cappella Vocal Ensemble
The smashing new a cappella group Zephyr
Vocal Ensemble is seeking members for its
Board of Directors to help drive its success
with excellent management, planning, and
strategizing. Zephyr is looking for people
who possess a personal commitment to the
arts and, particularly, who love choral music
and vocal entertainment and want to have a
hand in bringing the best in entertainment to
people in our area.
Zephyr is a 16-voice, professional vocal
group performing a varied and eclectic
repertoire spanning from early chant and
classical music all the way up to jazz, rock,
pop, doo-wop, world music, and showtunes.
Most of this will be sung a cappella.
Concerts will be profound and evocative,
entertaining and fun, delivering a superb
level of artistry. The ensemble will perform
without a conductor or sheet music to foster
intimacy and relationship between artists
and audience. Think of a combination of
"Glee" and "The King's Singers," and you
have Zephyr. We are working with a profes-
sional choreographer add an extra sparkle to
our performing.
Zephyr has members from and will perform
throughout northern New Jersey and
Orange and Rockland Counties, NY. First
concerts to be performed in spring of 2011,
with informal appearances this holiday sea-
son in community fairs and festivals; our
initial venue is the beautiful St. Francis de
Sales R.C. Church in Vernon, NJ. Our
music for this concert borrows heavily from
the haunting Celtic arrangements of
Michael McGlynn (whose group "Anuna"
was the first singing group touring in the
U.S. with "Riverdance") and the phenome-
nal jazz arranger, Darmon Meader - and
we\\\'ll have a professional jazz trio accom-
panying us for this! More venues to be
added in other locations. Zephyr will also
bring music “to the people,” singing at com-
munity festivals and enabling a broad spec-
trum of people to be able to enjoy its music,
unhampered as the group will be with no
need for a piano, orchestra, or sheet music.
This is a different kind of ensemble, with a
different kind of agenda and program.
Our Board of Directors is fundamentally
critical to the health and well-being of our
organization, and to our ability to fulfill
Zepyhyr’s mission and vision. If you are
interested to explore the possibility of serv-
ice to this superb new organization, and thus
to audiences all over this region, please
email Founding Director Cherwyn Ambuter
at zephyrve@warwick.net or call
973.862.0668. You will be emailed further
information on Zephyr Board membership,
such as position profiles, mission/vision
statements, etc., as well as an artist biogra-
phy and photo of each singer. We would like
to impress you with the huge talent in our
ranks!

Thomas Edison and His Phonograph
by Michele Guttenberger
T
homas Edison developed the phonograph in 1877.
By today’s standards it was a very simple machine.
It was manually powered by a hand crank that rotat-
ed a metal cylinder with tin foil wrapped around it. It had
two diaphragms and needle units, one for recording, and
one for playback. Recordings were performed by speaking
into a mouthpiece. Sound vibrations were traced by a
recording needle producing vertical hill and dale groove
patterns onto the record cylinder. Edison’s quest to devel-
op a machine to transcribe telegraphic messages through
indentations on paper tape, and then transmitted over the
telegraph repeatedly led to the phonograph player. His
voice to be the first voice ever recorded was Edison recit-
ing the intro words to “Mary Had a Little Lamb”.
On February 19, 1878 patent (#200,521) for the phono-
graph was issued. It was a highly original invention. The
only other similar invention was in a paper by French sci-
entist Charles Cros, written on April 18, 1877. However,
Cros's work was only a theory, and he did not produce a
working model of it.
Edison had fun with his new invention and recorded
some instructions for his business staff at Scientific
American in New York City. He presented the phonograph
on December 22, 1877. He placed his little machine on an
office desk, turned a crank, and the machine gave its
recorded message. How was everyone’s health today, it
vainly asked how they liked the phonograph, informed the
staff that it (the phonograph) was felling very well too, and
bid everyone a cordial good night." This invention was the
big business news event of the day and was reported in sev-
eral New York newspapers, and soon it was noted by other
American newspapers and magazines. The thought of
using the phonograph record for entertainment to record
music did not yet enter Edison’s mind.
What is amazing about this story is that this recorded
message was done without electricity, batteries, or fuel
motorized power. Power to record and play back the sound
was all done through a hand crank. This is true stand alone
wireless technology because it never needs an electrical
outlet to recharge batteries.
The phonograph was developed as a result of Thomas
Edison's work on two other inventions, the telegraph and
the telephone. In 1877, Edison was working on a machine
that would transcribe telegraphic messages through inden- machine by speaking the nursery rhyme into the mouth-
tations on paper tape, which could later be sent over the piece, "Mary had a little lamb." To his amazement, the

Avon Walk for Breast Cancer: A Personal Experience!

by Shannon Nash On the day of the walk, I drove myself into NY, know-

E
very 3 minutes, someone is diagnosed with breast
cancer in the US. Every 13 minutes, someone dies
from breast cancer in the US. 1 in 8 women will get
breast cancer in their lifetime. Look around you, how many
women are in your life; mothers, daughters, sisters, wives,
nieces, friends, co-workers? How many of them will get
breast cancer? As a female, it' s a scary thought and I want-
ed to do something about it. Last year, while driving to
work, I heard about the Avon Walk for Breast Cancer
(AWBC) taking place in New York City. It's a 2 day, 39.3
mile walk that raises money for breast cancer. That night, I
went online and read up about the walk and requested infor-
mation. I contacted a bunch of women in my life asking for
anyone who would like to participate in the walk with me.
I received a few maybes and by the spring, I was signed up
on my own. This was something I wanted to do, whether on
my own with a group. I was determined if I was going to
do the walk, I was going to do the whole 39.3 miles of it.
In order to walk, you have to raise $1800. I spent my sum-
mer and fall training for the walk and fundraising for it,
including having bake sales with the proceeds going to the
walk, emailing and just talking to people about it. By
October, I was able to raise $2,400 and the entire New York
AWBC team raised about $10M. The money raised for the
walk not only goes to research, but it also goes towards
testing and treatment for those who can not afford it and
some of it is donated locally during the event.
ing only 1 couple that would be participating in the walk,
one walking, one on the crew. I ended up becoming an
unofficial member of their team and made some great
friends during the walk. The walk consists of 26.2 miles on
Saturday, camping overnight (or a hotel for those who pre-
fer not to camp), 13.1 miles on Sunday and an incredible
closing ceremony that honors all those impacted by breast
cancer! For those who want to walk, but can't do the full
26.2 miles on Saturday, you can do the first 13.1 miles on
Saturday and the 13.1 miles on Sunday. Last year, there
were 4,000 to 5,000 walkers signed up for the NY event,
which consisted of men and women of all ages. Some were
survivors, some were walking for survivors, and others
were walking for loved ones that were lost to breast cancer.
It was such an incredible experience that I signed up for the
2010 walk during the closing ceremony of the 2009 walk.
Donating to this walk is just one of many ways to be sup-
portive. This walk is a large event and requires a lot of time
and people to make it happen. There are a lot of wonderful
volunteers who spend the weekend directing traffic, setting
up and breaking down rest stops and camp, helping out the
Shannon Nash
walkers and cheering everyone on. These folks are just as
important as the walkers because without all the volunteers, I have family members on both sides and friends that
this event would not happen. Another way to support this have survived breast cancer and I have lost some family
cause is to train with someone. I do a lot of training on my members to breast cancer. I also have a friend that is
own, but I also have friends, family, co-workers and even aggressively fighting breast cancer. "In it to end it" is the
neighbors walk with me to keep me going. continued on page 14

more than 150,000 boys and girls around
the globe.
During the 2009 fiscal year, Operation
Smile volunteers around the world provided
free surgical treatment to nearly 13,000
patients. More than 62 percent of these sur-
geries were provided by in-country volun-
teers during local medical missions.
Giving back to the community is nothing
new at J. Thomas Jewelers. In Oct. 2009, it
collected more than $3,000 toward Susan
Komen Breast Cancer Awareness, and has
sponsored little league teams, fundraising
events with Junior Women’s Club, dona-
tions to tricky trays, high school band, fash-
ion shows and lacrosse.
Located in Flanders for 2.5 years and in
Sparta for 25 years, J. Thomas Jewelers
offers a great selection of fine jewelry as
well as custom pieces at affordable prices.
Customers can find quality diamonds,
engagement rings, wedding bands, diamond
earrings, watches, pendants and bracelets.
Pieces are custom made from wax molding
or computer designs; or shoppers can select
from various designers.
Other services include jewelry repairs,
appraisals and engravings.
“Customers should come for quality,
customer service and price,” says Girardo,
jewelry owner for the past 10 years.
Some new jewelry pieces now available
at J. Thomas Jewelers include Chamilla
bead charm bracelets; Michele Watches,
Diamond Essentials Line offering engage-
ment rings, wedding and anniversary bands,
earrings and pendants.
“With our new diamond essential line we
could go right to the diamond cutter,”
explains Girardo, “eliminating the middle
man. This reduces the price to the customer.
We are partnering up even more to get dia-
monds at better prices. We are looking to
save some money without cutting out qual-
ity.
“Better quality, better prices,” he con-
cludes.

One Solution to Help Your Economic Crisis:
Collect Monies Owed to You
A
s a result of the financial hardships
associated with the state of today’s
economy, the number of people
unable to make payments for their debts
increases daily. Unfortunately, the individ-
uals who provide the services and goods to
those people are left with no choice but to
compel payments through the court system.
It must first be determined who will be
named as the defendant, specifically who is
legally responsible for the debt. The prop-
er name of the business or individual must
be utilized in order for the collection of
monies to be successful.
The next step is to choose the correct
court for the filing of the complaint. New
Jersey Court Rule 6:1-2 provides that a
complaint should be filed in the New Jersey
Superior Court, Law Division, Special Civil
Part if the amount in controversy is
$15,000.00 or less, and in the Small Claims
Part if the amount is $3,000.00 or less. If
the amount in controversy exceeds
$15,000.00, the complaint should be filed in
the New Jersey Superior Court, Law
Division. A matter in the Law Division is a
more complicated process, and involves
numerous steps not set forth here. Forms
are available through the court system.
Once a complaint is filed in the Special
Civil Part, the court officer will serve the
defendant with the complaint. If the defen-
dant files an answer with the court, a trial
date will be scheduled. If the defendant
does not file an answer by a certain date or
fails to appear for the trial, default will be

entered. The court will require the submis-
sion of a certification of the amount due and
a request to have a judgment entered
against the defendant in favor of the indi-
vidual seeking payment.
In this type of matter, a judgment is
essentially a court order directing the defen-
dant to pay the individual who filed the
complaint the sum due to them, with inter-
est. The judgment can be registered with
the State of New Jersey, and will be a lien
against any real property that the defendant
owns. A defendant will be unable to sell the
real property without first paying off the
judgment.
When a judgment is obtained, there are
numerous avenues of collection procedures.
Steps can be taken to obtain a writ, or order
for the sheriff, to garnish the defendant’s
wages or freeze any known bank accounts
to obtain payment for the debt due. The
sheriff can also secure a defendant’s goods
or chattels, such as vehicles, equipment or
personal property, and sell the same to sat-
isfy the debt due.
Every individual’s matter is unique. You
should seek the advice of a professional to
determine the appropriate method to protect
your interests and secure the monies owed
to you.
