On Friday, April 20th, the prospective homeowner, Yulia Savenkova, her son and mother, donned their pink hardhats and helped the corporate and local Mary Kay representatives, dozens of volunteers, and Morris Habitat staff, raise the first two walls of this house. Making the day even more special was the fact that it was Yulia's birthday. She said getting this house is the "best gift ever" and thanked everyone who has been so helpful and excited to see the family succeed. The new single-family home will have 3

ow that the warm weather is approaching, so is the mosquito breeding season and the concerns about West Nile Virus. During the week of April 9th the Township of Hanover Health Department collected its first West Nile virus positive crow for 2012 season. This would indicate that West Nile Virus is again moving into our area and we must continue to take precautions. Since West Nile Virus is transmitted primarily by the bite of an infective mosquito, residents are advised to continue to take precautions to reduce the risk of mosquito bites. - Eliminate standing water in flowerpots, buckets/barrels, tires, pools, roof gutters, playground equipment, etc. If you wish to save rainwater to use in your garden it should be used up within a week. If you use rain barrels to collect rainwater they should be mosquito-proof. Information on mosquito-proof rain barrels can be found at http://water.rutgers.edu/Stormwater_Manag ement/rainbarrels.html. Birdbaths should be emptied and refilled weekly. Mosquitoes that breed around the home are primarily responsible for transmitting West Nile Virus to humans! Wear long sleeve shirts and pants when outdoors Spray insect repellant on clothing and exposed skin in accordance with labeling instructions. Repair window and door screens. Avoid outdoor activities at dawn, dusk and during the evening hours. At the current time we are not aware of any human cases of West Nile virus in New Jersey. West Nile virus infection generally causes no symptoms or mild flu-like symptoms. About one in 150 people infected with WNV, or less than one percent, will develop a more severe form of the disease. Symptoms of the more severe disease can include severe headache, high fever, neck stiffness, stupor, disorientation, coma, tremors, convulsions, muscle weakness and paralysis. The elderly are at higher risk of more severe disease.

West Nile Virus

The West Nile virus is transmitted through the bite of an infective mosquito that has picked up the virus while feeding on an infected bird. In a very small number of cases, West Nile Virus also has been spread through blood transfusions, organ transplants, breastfeeding and even during pregnancy from mother to baby. There is no evidence that would indicate that West Nile virus is transmitted directly from infected bird to humans. West Nile Virus can also seriously affect horses. Please contact your local veterinarian or New Jersey Department of Agriculture at http://www.state.nj.us/agriculture/westnile.htm for more information on West Nile Viruss effect on horses. Local mosquito commissions are working hard with local health departments to monitor and control the spread of West Nile virus in the mosquito population. Local Health Departments in the area will continue to participate in the State-Wide West Nile Virus Surveillance program by collecting dead corvids (including crows and bluejays), raptors (hawks) and thrushes (robins). Residents should contact their local health department to report dead crows, blue-jays, hawks and robins. Dead birds in fresh condition will be picked up and sent to the state laboratories. Morris County residents may report mosquito problems and standing water to the Morris County Mosquito Commission at (973) 285-6450. For general information on West Nile virus, please visit or contact your local health department. In addition, information may be obtained from the State Department of Health and Senior Services website at http://www.state.nj.us/health/ cd/westnile/enceph.htm , CDC web site at http://www.cdc.gov/ncidod/dvbid/westnile/ or at the Morris County Mosquito Commission website at http://www.co.morris.nj.us/mosquito/ . The Morris County Mosquito Commission website also provides up-to-date information on where and when mosquito spraying will be occurring.

Inside the Mt Olive Recreation Department

Tell Them You Saw It In The Mt. Olive News News - May 2012 - Page 11

By Steve Urena hough the Recreation department plans a lot of fun, action packed, family activities for Mt Olive, It takes a lot of planning and hard work to pull them off. Recreation supervisor Jill Daggon is the woman behind the department, who works to make sure every event is planned properly for the best interest of Mt Olive. Daggon became interested in the recreation department in 1989 when she was a resident in Budd Lake. Daggon was not satisfied with the lifeguarding at the beach and decided to get involved and voice her opinion. Daggon remembers her early beginnings: I remember not being happy with the lifeguards at Budd Lake beach so I contacted the recreation director at the time, Eric Schulte and he told me to get certified. So I went through the certification to become a lifeguard, I then became the beach director, then the beach manager, I then moved into the office to help out more and when Eric retired I became the recreation director. After being appointed to the director position, Daggon and her team have been responsible for running events all over Mt Olive, with the goal of bringing her community together with any creative idea the department can come up with. They have created several programs for the township such as:, activities at Budd Lake Beach, events at Turkey Brook Park, Childrens programs and Community Classes. I am responsible for developing the budgets for these events and planning these programs. explained Daggon, We just finished the Mayors 5K event at Turkey Brook which was a huge success. We brought in 350 people and had a lot of volunteers that came in to help. The Mount Olive Carnival will be back this summer after a two year break so we are all working hard to bring in thousands of people to the Mt Olive Area With the Carnival coming back to Turkey Brook, A lot of planning is going into the summer season with numerous summer programs designed for the youth in Mt Olive. Parents, who want to get their kids out of the house this summer, will be delighted to find a vast array of summer camps provided by the recreation department. We have our Rec and Roll Camp for grades 1-7 that keeps kids busy during the summer. Every week we have a different theme and the campers will get their very own chance to have a private carnival day during the week of the carnival. We also have a morning only program for younger children ages 4-6. Outside of those two camps we have pony camp, sports camps, cooking camps, and several more which can be found on our website. Daggon is always in her office and can be reached at jdaggon@mtolivetwp. For those who would like to find out more about the summer programs and other activities sponsored by the Mt Olive Recreation department can visit www. Mtolivetwp.org/recreation.h tml.

he Mount Olive Township Schools announced today that the Mount Olive Middle School has been awarded the 2012 National School Change Award. The award, presented by the National Principals Leadership Institute is bestowed each year upon six schools across the United States that have significantly improved for the better. This is the only award of its kind. In the first twelve years of this award, 250 finalists and 72 awardees were selected from 45 states and two Canadian provinces. Mount Olive Middle School is the only school to win this award in New Jersey for 2012. The National Principals Leadership Institute recognizes that significant school change (for the better) is not easy to achieve and, quite simply, we want to recognize those schools (and school districts) that have been able to earn this distinction. We are also conducting some important research about how these schools were able to be successful. All nominated schools are measured against sixteen specific change criteria. Schools must provide documentation and data to support their quest for this prestigious award. Each submission is reviewed by a team of 10-12 judges, including teachers, principals, superintendents, professors, former awardees, and other proponents of educational improvement. The dimensions used to determine the recipients of the National School Change Award include: How meaningful is the change? Is it substantial rather than superficial?; How deep and broad is the change? Is it systemic rather than isolated?; How is the change focused? Is it student

Mount Olive Middle School Wins National Honor Designated 2012 National School of Change
centered and focused on teaching and learning?; and How is it measured? Is it solution or outcome oriented? The final criteria requires schools to demonstrate a multiyear increase in achievement among all students as measured by inschool assessments, state assessments, promotion rates and other measures of improved student performance. I have visited several hundred middle schools over the course of my career, said Larrie Reynolds, Superintendent. There is no doubt in my mind that Mount Olive Middle School is the very best middle school I have ever visited. In every category of quality, it exceeds expectations. Mount Olive Middle School students are proving that when we set high standards and provide high levels of support, students are able to achieve at record levels. Given the numerous measures of improved academic performance, it appears that the jury is in. Higher standards lead to better results. Over the past six years, Mount Olive Middle School students have steadily produced improved results. The increased achievements can be attributed to the systematic use of data to measure and monitor student progress, character-building activities, and dramatically increased expectations and accountability for students, teachers, parents and administrators. As a result, what had been above average results have been transformed into extremely high level performances. In the last two years, Mt. Olive Middle School has been listed among the top rated middle schools in Morris County, based on the percentage of students who score Advanced Proficient on New Jerseys high-stakes

ASK exams. Among schools with similar or lower socioeconomic demographics, it ranked third in the county. Among the many changes that have contributed to students improved performance and productivity was eliminating the grade of D, which occurred two years ago. Despite the fact that students needed to work harder in order to receive a passing grade, failure rates plummeted. After the first year, the number of grades that students earned below 70% dropped by 59.5% (from 2132 to 863), the number of individual students who failed one or more major subject plummeted 81% (from 207 to 56) and the number of students who earned honor roll or high honor roll increased by 33.1% (from 1244 to 1656). These outstanding results can be attributed to a comprehensive action plan that was designed to provide unprecedented levels of support for students, parents and faculty. Students have benefited from expanded intervention services, tutoring provided before, during and after school, opportunities to re-take or re-do failed assessments and assignments for partial credit and new recognition programs that celebrate improved achievement. Parents enjoy the automatic notification system that was created to inform them immediately of any assignment that was not submitted or any assessment that was not passed. Teachers now work together in Professional Learning Communities to plan, implement and assess common units of instruction that are based on rigorous standards. During the last seven years, we have worked diligently continued on page 18

continued from page 16 to improve the quality and character of the programs and services offered to our students. As a result, the changes in our school have been substantive and are evident in everything we do and every decision that we make, said Dr. Tracey Severns, Mount Olive Middle School principal. We have decided that failure is not an option and we are willing to do whatever it takes to ensure that students succeed. It is deeply gratifying to see that all of our hard work has paid off. Students are achieving at record levels and nearly every measure of our schools performance has improved. Our school has gone from good to great! Since 1998, the National Principals Leadership Institute (NPLI) has provided an exemplary leadership experience for more than 3,000 educational leaders from 45 states, the U.S. Virgin Islands, and three Canadian provinces. In 2000, NPLI created the National School Change Award (NSCA) to recognize schools that significantly change for the better. The 2012 National School Change Award Winners are: Beardsley School, Bridgeport, CT; Minor High School, Adamsville, AL; Mt. Olive Middle School, Budd Lake, NJ; Sam Houston Middle School, Irving, TX; Whale Branch Middle School, Seabrook, SC; Winterboro High School, Alpine, AL

for largest and fastest 5K and 10K teams. Besides the 5K and 10K races, the event includes family walking, running, food, face painting, massages and more. Music by a live band will enhance the festivities. More than 50 fitness vendors will be on hand for the event, a number of them doing demonstrations.

ccording to the Center for Retirement Research at Boston College University, men are now retiring later than they have in the past. In an analysis of data collected by the U.S. Census Bureau, the Center for Retirement Research found that the average retirement age for men has risen from 62 in the mid1990s to 64 near the end of the first decade of the 21st century. The reasons for this change are likely not because men are reluctant to leave office life behind, but because

Did You Know?

of a variety of factors that have to do with finances. Many companies no longer offer pension plans, so men are more likely to work longer to save more money for their retirement. In addition, Social Security benefits in the United States are now calculated differently than they were in the past, so men have a greater incentive to work longer. But finances aren't the only reason men work longer. Many men now have jobs that are not physically taxing, enabling them to work longer as a result.

At police headquarters Mr. Martino was charged with burglary, disorderly conduct, and underage consumption of alcohol. He was released on his own recognizance and has a pending court appearance. isnt, consider this: professional burglars are very skilled at their tradecraft, so shouldnt you really be fighting them off with professional home security monitoring experts who are very skilled at what they do? Many people make the mistake of doing just enough to feel like theyre preventing a potential break-in, or worse, pretending that a home burglary will never happen to them, but experience teaches that those people are living with a false sense of security, which is even more dangerous. Homes that do not have adequate safety measures are easy pickings for professional burglars, and in these tough times their numbers are on the rise. Some studies show that homes without a home security burglar alarm system installed have as much as three times the

chance of being burglarized versus homes with a professionally installed home security burglar alarm system. Making it hard on burglars is what will have them passing on your house, and looking for an easier target elsewhere. When you are putting together a home security burglar alarm system for your house, be sure to consider such options as two-way voice communication, monitored door and window sensors, interior motion detectors, wireless security cameras, GSM radio backup to a central station and exterior lighting designed to detect motion around your property.

Professional burglars know every trick of the trade when it comes to getting into and out of homes fast. Make the choice to have a Knox Security system professionally installed today, and fight professionals with professionals.

t. Olive Brownie Troop 135 from Sandshore School had a great visit with Jeannie Phillips, representing The Seeing Eye, Inc. Ms. Phillips is a puppy-raiser for The Seeing Eye, currently taking care of Craig, a golden retriever puppy, who is training to be a guide dog for the blind. This year, Brownie Troop 135 contributed toward the organization's "Pennies for Puppies" program, raising funds by doing good deeds around the home. Ms. Phillips told the troop of her familys experiences in raising puppies and described the important significance of The Seeing Eye and how it prepares dogs to be guides. These dogs enable greater independence for the visually impaired. The Brownie troop learned of how it takes a lot of patience, caring, training, as well as financial support in preparing these special dogs. The Seeing Eye, Inc. of Morristown is the oldest existing guide dog school in the world and operates on private support.

MOMS Students Toured Washington, D.C.


Gibbs explains, Imagine arriving at Arlington National Cemetery and a student steps forward and shares his knowledge of the cemetery with his peers- priceless. Imagine entering the Holocaust Museum and a student whispers his knowledge to a peer- fabulous. Imagine walking the halls of the Capitol Building and you overhear the student teaching the other student about the history of the buildingamazing. In the end, any time students are excited about learning is a positive experience for all. After three weeks of extensive research about a monument, memorial or museum, students were required to present their project in a creative visual way whether through brochures, display board, photographs, power point, models, raps or even character development to become the monument, museum or attraction. The city of DC was recreated in three different classrooms complete with road signs, the National Mall, and even the reflecting pool! Presentations were from 9 a.m. to 10:35 a.m.; and 11:30 a.m. until 2 p.m. Allowed to work in pairs, students also had to develop a program guide. Students were at their monument, memorial, museum making their persuasive pitches to the "tourists" (social studies classes) visiting, as well as handing out their very own "business cards". Students were asked to dress in costume, wear red, white, and blue, or as a tacky tourist. The "tourists" had a scavenger hunt to complete as they visited the various DC attractions. In the end, students voted for their top ten places in DC and then petitioned their principal, Dr. Tracey Severns, to have these places on the itinerary for DC in June, in which 270 students are scheduled to attend. Some of the other "hotspots" voted by students are: Spy

By Cheryl Conway ighth graders at the Mt. Olive Middle School toured Washington, DC, on Monday, April 30, and they didnt even have to leave the building. Whether it was learning about a monument or museum, standing in front of the reflecting pool, meeting panda bears Sing Sing and Ling Ling at the National Zoo or hearing a rap song about The Lincoln Memorial, the 355 eighth graders enjoyed "A Walk through Washington, DC," a project collaborated by the MOMS language arts teachers. Experiencing a mini-DC is the teachers way of preparing their students for their actual trip next month. The students now have background knowledge and information regarding DC, thereby making their trip more meaningful, explains Maryann Gibbs, 8th grade Language Arts teacher. Completion of this project has fostered student understanding of the importance of the many monuments, museums, and memorials. Not only have students been willing to share this newfound knowledge, but the amount of excitement created by the project has been pleasantly contagious, continues Gibbs. It seems as if the students are more excited than ever to visit our nation's capital. On June 7 and 8, MOMS eighth graders will be touring Washington, DC, visiting sites such as the Smithsonian Institute, Jefferson Memorial, National Museum of African Art, Holocaust Memorial Museum, Arlington National Cemetery, Lincoln Memorial, National museums of Natural and American History and more. An annual trip for the eighth graders, this year the language arts teachers- Gibbs, Shelley Bromberg and Courtney Curtis decided that recreating DC can make the trip that much more enlightening

Museum, The White House, The Botanical Gardens, The National Zoo and Ford's Theatre. It was a good experience for all. Overall, the feedback from student "tourists" has been very positive, says Gibbs of the Walk through Washington, DC project. Everything from I understand more about DC, to I now know it holds great treasures. If anything, students requested that more time be devoted to the actual touring because they did not get to visit all of the "museums". Some of Gibbs favorite presentations were: The Korean War Memorial, which was fabulous with Excellent information and the simplicity of the student's army-green poncho was chillingly appropriate. She brought it to life. The "rap" about Abe Lincoln, was very memorable! says Gibbs. Also, another group had the playing of "O Captain, My Captain," by Walt Whitman playing on their laptop while they voiced over some vital pieces of information about the memorial. Of course everyone loved the pandas from the zoo! Gibbs says Overall, my favorite part of the project was the amount of enthusiasm and creativity in which the students tackled and completed this project. It was, An absolute success all the way! Dr. Severns, was equally impressed. It was clear to me that the Washington DC project was extremely well planned and generated a great deal of excitement among the students, says Severns. As I visited each of the DC highlights, I was struck by the amount of research, time and commitment that the students dedicated to their projects. The students were able to present a wealth continued on page 30

Sandshore Raises Money for April for Autism Awareness Month

By Cheryl Conway here was no forgetting about autism last month at the Sandshore Elementary School in Budd Lake. With the contributions from students, staff and faculty, the Sandshore school raised more than $600 in April for Autism Awareness Month. Each student was asked to contribute $1 for the schools autism fundraiser held on Friday, April 13. With the increase in the number of people affected by autism, raising awareness into the community has become that much more important. The numbers of people affected by autism are rising, says Donna Scales, special education teacher for the Autism Program at Sandshore. We want to raise awareness to the general community and recognize that its affecting so many people. We need to raise tolerance and acceptance. According to the Center for Disease Control (CDC), one out of 88 children is affected by autism in the United States. To highlight the growing need for concern and awareness about autism, the Autism Society has been celebrating National Autism Awareness Month since the 1970s. The U.S. recognizes April as a special opportunity to educate the public about autism

and issues within the autism community. Sandshore elementary has been recognizing Autism Awareness Month for the past four years with a dress-down jeans day for faculty and staff. This year, however, organizers took their efforts a step further by sending home a letter to parents asking for donations from the schools 400 students. All proceeds go to Autism New Jersey, which provides workshops, seminars and information to parents of persons diagnosed with autism in an effort to get services and resources toward finding a cause and cure of the disease, explains Cheryl Tracey, ABA Facilitator at Sandshore. Participants of the Sandshore fundraiser also had their names written on a puzzle piece which was then crafted into an Autism Awareness Ribbon. Puzzle pieces symbolize autism awareness. With so many donations and names included, three 13-foot ribbons made out of the puzzle pieces were crafted and then hung in the schools gymnasium throughout the month of April. Students in the district who are more severely affected by autism attend the Sandshore Elementary School full day for its autism program, says Tracey, who has been a teacher at Sandshore for the

past eight years. The most inclusive program in our district is at Sandshore. Students with minor autism attend their assigned elementary schools. We do a lot of work within Sandshore, says Scales, who has worked with children in grades Kindergarten through second grade in a special education class in the autism program since it began at Sandshore four years ago. We try to raise awareness of what autism is to take away the fear of the unknown; to provide knowledge so they are not fearful or worried; to teach students to be a friend to our students even if they are different than them. Parents, students, family and community need to be made more aware of autism, agrees Tracey. If we increase awareness and more know the facts about autism, students are more aware of their peers who have autism and how they can help them.

3rd Annual Biggest Loser Contest


Also in her routine is exercise. She says she gets to class five times a week, no matter how tired she may be. Sometimes I didnt want to go, says Mujtaba. I felt tired. But I told myself now I have to go. Now its a routine. Its a ritual kind of thing. I feel like I missed something big in my routine when I miss class. I have to sacrifice something. No pain no gain. I had to sacrifice my diet. It was challenging to me but now its routine. Im feeling much fresh, much better than before, much healthier. I used to think if I go to the workout, Id feel more tired. Instead, I feel more active, I feel more fresh and healthy. Since joining in Jan., Mujtaba has gone from a size 8-10 to a size 4-6. She used to belong to a gym but without a routine, she says I didnt feel like exercising for a long time and Id lose my interest. When I go to a gym, no one tells me how long to be on treadmill. Joining the Mt. Olive exercise program has been a great fit for Mujtaba, a stay-athome mom of a 6 year old, 5 year old and one-year old. Whatever the instructors do I follow and the result has been remarkable. There is always someone different to tell me different things. I cannot do it alone. It was the weight gain and her health issues after her last pregnancy which encouraged her to join the exercise class earlier this year. My main goal was to lose the weight and be fit, she says. Although her last pregnancy was healthy only gaining 12 pounds, Mujtaba says but after baby came I gained a lot. I put on so much weight for eating whatever. She also had gestational diabetes during her pregnancy then started feeling pain in my knees cause of my weight and I got tired easily. Mujtaba credits her family and her instructors for her success. My family and husband always encourage me to go to

Tell Them You Saw It In The Mt. Olive News News - May 2012 - Page 29 class, says Mujtaba. Laura encourages me by saying you can do that. I get more motivated by the instructors who make me come back every day. Laura says you lost that much weight? You can lose more. Its not just the weight, says Mujtaba. I am in my shape now. My body is in shape now more than ever before. My thighs, my hips and abs too have gone down a lot. Mujtaba, who has encouraged her friends to join, says I tell them all about the instructors, the environment is very friendly. I encourage them all to come. Everyone has to have their own routine and be fit. Do a lot of fitness exercises because it really helps us to be more of ourselves, to be healthy and active. It helps us with our lives and everything. We can make a big change in our life. Vemula, the other winner from the contest, says she lost 29 pounds since joining the class in Dec. 2011. From the contest period alone, she went from a size 16 to a size 10. Instructor Laura Hars is pleased with this years results. It was more successful than last year, says Hars. Last year it seemed that after about six weeks people lost their commitment. This year we had an active interest in the weigh-ins and in the food journals and discussions of what constitutes a healthy diet. This was perhaps our most successful year because the six women who continued to monitor their diets and attend classes regularly all saw some weight loss. The contest is complete, but classes continue seven days a week at the Senior Center in Mt. Olive. Step, kickbox, toning, boot camp, butts and guts, hip hop, pilates, Zumba are offered at a reasonable cost. For more information on the Mt. Olive exercise program, call 973-347-6886 or 973-903-0453. Cost is $120 for the three-month summer special from June until August; or $50 monthly.

By Cheryl Conway ompetition heats up between the women of the 3rd annual Biggest Loser Contest through the Mt. Olive Recreation exercise program. Two contestants tie by both shedding 17.2 pounds during the 15 week period. Narjis Mujtaba and Radhika Vemula, both of Hackettstown, are the winners of the contest that was held Jan. 2 to April 28. Held every year for the past three years, the Mt. Olive Recreation Biggest Loser Contest had 11 participants this year. Women were weighed and measured weekly and the winner(s) were determined by percentage of total weight and percentage of inches lost in hips, waist and back/chest. This year, the range of pounds/inches lost was 5 to 17 pounds and 1 to 4 inches. Losing the weight is a great accomplishment, they both agreed, but living a healthier lifestyle by eating more nutritious food with smaller portions as well as making exercise a daily routine is the grandest prize of all. Im happy says Mujtaba, 35, about her success with the program. It wasnt just about the weight; it was health and fitness. Before the contest, Mujtaba says I was not conscious about my health and weight. But since joining the exercise class in Jan., Mujtaba says Ive made my diet stronger because of the motivation. During the contest, Mujtaba made an effort to watch what she was eating. Initially I was not watching calories, and what time I was eating and not eating healthy. So I started counting my portions and my calories and if its healthy. Sometimes I do spoil myself, she admits. I just control my appetite. I dont feel more hungry like I did before. Mujtaba says I used to eat some whole wheat before but now I make sure my whole family eats whole wheat. Now I eat it strictly. I dont go for white bread or white rice. I eat wheat bread and brown rice. Its in my routine.

continued from page 26 of information about the history and importance of their selected site. And I couldnt believe how many students even dressed up to represent the monument or museum that they represented! Severns adds, This year, when the students travel to DC, they will bring a whole new level of interest and background knowledge to the sites that we visit. As a result, I anticipate that they will do more than just look at the monuments or stroll through the mall. They will look to see whether what they learned matches what they experience. Severns says, I think the power of this project lies in the manner in which it was designed and facilitated. The teachers used a high-interest context and opportunities for choice and creativity to hook and hold the students interest and attention. By doing so, the students were so engaged that they didnt even realize that they were completing rigorous requirements such as research, reading, writing, and presentation skills! It was yet another example of the outstanding work that has become the hallmark of instruction here at Mt. Olive Middle School. To know about one specific site and take ownership of it was a great learning experience all around for the students, says Shelley Bromberg. Students are empowered by this activity. Courtney Curtis says I was so impressed with the amount of effort and enthusiasm from the students. They continue to surprise and please me everyday. I'm very proud of them, their hard work and the amount of information that they learned! This truly turned into something marvelous and unexpected.

By Cheryl Conway efore tossing that soda tab in the garbage, send it to the Chester M. Stephens Elementary School in Budd Lake for a fundraiser that provides shelter and resources to families of children undergoing treatment. CMS third grade teacher Deanne Cornine of Roxbury is collecting soda tabs for her cousin, Jimmy Kaphan of Palm Coast, FL, who is expecting his first child in June. In March, when she was 23-weeks pregnant, Emily PiekarskiKaphan's girlfriend, received a diagnosis that her fetus had hypoplastic left-heart syndrome, a condition in which the left side of the heart stops growing shortly after conception. "It' so small, it's hardly going to work," says Kaphan, of his baby's heart. The soda tabs being collected are going to the Ronald McDonald House of Jacksonville, FL, which participates in a recycling effort of metal in exchange for funds used to support families needing stability and resources while a hospitalized child receives medical care. Tristan will be in need of three heart surgeries after his birth and his family will be staying in a nearby Ronald McDonald House for weeks during his procedures and care.

Kaphan, and his sister Kaitlyn Houtz of Roxbury, started collecting the tabs in March and then got Cornine involved. "She left the flyer in my apartment," says Cornine. "We have close to 700 kids in our school. We can definitely get a lot of tabs here." Cornine approached the Rainbow Connection Committee at CMS and got permission to send flyers home in the students' backpacks requesting the donation of tabs. Cornine has been pleased with all of the support. "They want to do everything possible to help him," says Cornine, regarding the enthusiasm from her students. "They can really make that connection; that warms my heart. "I've had kids bring in freezer bags full of tabs." Cornine and Houtz have collected more than 96,000 tabs, combined, so far. Their collection is ongoing until June. Tristan, who is due June 14, will need to undergo his first surgery seven days after his birth to reconstruct his heart. Recovery is four to six weeks in the hospital. His second surgery will take place when he is four months old with a recovery time of two to four weeks. His third surgery will take place when he is three-years old with a recovery time of about two weeks. Kaphan explains that the procedures will

Tell Them You Saw It In The Mt. Olive News News - May 2012 - Page 31

involve the rewiring of the right-side of the heart in an effort to act like a whole heart. The surgeries have an 80 percent to 90 percent success rate. According to Cornine, one out of every 10,000 babies is faced with this rare heart disorder. Tristan will probably eventually need a heart transplant to save his life. The procedures will take place at the Wolfson Children's Hospital in Jacksonville, FL. Staying at the Ronald McDonald House, which is located just down the block from the hospital will provide the closeness and convenience to Kaphan and Piekarski. "The Ronald McDonald House will provide their facilities to us," says Kaphan, who lives about 80 minutes from the hospital. "It's a little hotel for families of children who are undergoing procedures; a home away from home" with a private room, bed, bathroom. It's a little get away from the hospital. With family in NJ, NY and Florida, Kaphan says more than 100,000 tabs have been collected so far. According to the Ronald McDonald website, the organization gets 40 cents to 60 cents per pound of soda tabs. One pound of soda tabs equals 1,334 tabs, he says.

Kaphan says he is giving the tabs to the Ronald McDonald House "as a donation in Tristan's name. We are giving back to the Ronald McDonald House to give thanks for what they are doing for our own family. We are doing the tabs as a donation; we are not using them as a deferment of payment," he clarifies. With 315 Ronald McDonald Houses in 57 countries and regions, the organization provides families stability and resources so they can keep their child healthy and happy. Whether those problems involve close proximity and support to a hospitalized child, affordable method to stay together in another city while a child is undergoing treatment, or even getting basic medical and dental care in a vulnerable community. The Ronald McDonald Houses collect pop tabs to teach kids about philanthropy and the importance of recycling, and raise funds to help children and their families at the same time. It collects pop tabs instead of entire aluminum cans because it's more hygienic to store tabs than cans, and collection and storage is easier. To support Baby Tristan's family and the Ronald McDonald House, send tabs to CMS or the Roxbury High School in Succasunna.

10th Annual Food For Thought Benefit


At Food For Thought, case managers of the MHAMC talk to individuals about their goals and recovery on areas such as housing, jobs, family, shelters, goals and legal issues, explains Macias. The event, which is expecting more than 250 guests, is open to the public, consumers or clients and their family members, as well as the many supporters of the MHAMC including professionals and community leaders. Guests will sample food and wine from each of the participating restaurant vendors which includes, The Melting Pot, Blackthorn Restaurant and Pub, Hibiscus Caribbean Cuisine, Tiffanys Restaurant, The Atlanta Bread Company, Angelato Heavenly Ice Cream, Patsys Caf, Coney Island Catering, Grassroots Natural Market, and more. Beverages will be provided by Cricket Hill Brewery and Best Cellars of A&P. Macias says the event is held on a Monday since that day is a sacred day of rest for restaurants since many are closed. The restaurants donate their time and food for the event to gain exposure to their business. Its a donation on their behalf, says Macias. This is a great way to get exposure and also support a local non-profit organization. Food for Thought activities include a silent auction and tricky tray raffle featuring restaurant gift certificates, autographed sports memorabilia, spa packages, and shopping spree opportunities. Gov. Codey, who is an advocate of the MHAMC, slept in a homeless shelter in Newark recently to reach out to those individuals experiencing tough times. He will be the keynote speaker for this special 10-year anniversary fundraising event.

By Cheryl Conway ime to break some bread and talk about hard times and solutions- at the 10th annual Food For Thought Benefit. Set for Monday, June 4, from 6 p.m. to 9 p.m. at the The Bretton Woods Mansion in Morris Plains, the Food for Thought fundraiser provides a social environment to talk about problems while tasting foods and wine from area restaurants while raising funds to support The Mental Health Association. Food for Thought has grown to be one of Morris Countys premier fundraising events with many of the areas finest restaurants offering a taste of their delicious cuisine. This year, Governor Richard J. Codey will be the keynote speaker, along with introductory remarks by Morris County Freeholder and Human Services Liaison, John J. Murphy. Food for Thought provides an opportunity for clients to reach out for advice and information in order to improve their lives. Its almost like breaking bread, says Stephanie Macias, one of the organizers of the event. Its hard for people when they are hungry and homeless to talk about their problems and services they may need. You have to first feed yourself and create that warm environment for them. Breaking bread with friends is an easy way to talk about the hard times in life. Thats where Food For Thought comes in. All funds raised at Food for Thought go to support the work of an important charity, The Mental Health Association of Morris County (MHAMC). Established 59 years ago, the MHAMC runs many essential programs that empower people with mental illness to live quality lives in the community.

He is a voice and advocate of the Mental Health Association, says Macias. The MHAMC is a 501(3) non-profit organization providing support and services along with education and selfhelp resources for those with mental illness in Morris County. Food for Thought tickets can be purchased by visiting the events section of the MHAMC website at www.mhamorris.org. For information on sponsoring the event or donating an auction item, contact the MHAMC Development office at 973-334-3496 x102 or email DFaucett@mhamorris.org. Founded in 1953, the MHAMC works to promote mental health awareness and improve the care and treatment of people in recovery from mental illnesses through programs of education, direct service, and advocacy. Current services include information and referral, homeless outreach, supportive housing, self-help, and disaster response. The MHAMC is a local chapter of the New Jersey Division of Mental Health America, formerly the National Mental Health Association. The Mental Health Association empowers people with mental illnesses to live quality lives in their communities; empowers family members to become partners with mental health consumers and professionals in the treatment and recovery process; links people who have mental health treatment needs to available services and resources; models effective high-quality programs and services which are responsive to consumer needs and preferences; and works to increase public awareness of mental health and mental illness, promoting mental wellness for everyone.

New Frozen Yogurt Bar at Sundaes Ice Cream and Yogurt


one of the most popular recipes- bacon icecream- are created by Bryn. Bryn also recently added a complete menu for breakfast, lunch and dinner. Selections stem from breakfast sandwiches, burgers, hot dogs, sandwiches, home-made soups, chicken, combination baskets, salads, side orders and a childrens menu. A separate register is located at the Yogurt Bar for customers creating their own yogurt sundaes. Flavors are changed every few weeks, with one flavor always being sugar-free and one being tart. Customers are invited to sample the different flavors in small tasting cups before creating their sundae. The fat free yogurt is made from Yocream with flavor added, describes Bryn. After choosing the perfect flavor or combination of flavors, toppings from fresh fruit, nuts, candies, cereals, cookies, granolas, and other toppings can be added. I felt we really have to go crazy with toppings, says Bryn. There are three different size cups available: small (12 oz); medium (16 oz.) or large (24 oz.); as well as waffle bowls to choose from. The price is determined at the scale according to weight. Sundaes charges $.45 cents per ounce. The new Yogurt Bar has been a hit to many. Theres nothing like this near here, says Kim Ieslin of Long Valley. I was driving 45 minutes to get frozen yogurt. Ieslin, who is in her last month of pregnancy, has become a regular at Sundaes Yogurt Bar because of it healthy choices. Its healthier than eating ice-cream, says Ieslin, who has been visiting Sundaes atleast once weekly since it opened. They have good toppings. I like to add wet walnuts and the Reeses Peanut Butter toppings. We will come and eat it for lunch, healthy blueberries, strawberries; not just the sweet

Tell Them You Saw It In The Mt. Olive News News - May 2012 - Page 33 stuff. They have good choices you can make. Out of all the yogurt chains, my family and I think this is the best self-serve yogurt. Sundaes Ice Cream & Yogurt is open seven days a week from 8 a.m. to 11 p.m. The grill for food orders closes at 8 p.m. Parties, tours, luncheons, cake-making demonstrations, and cakes-made-to order are available upon request. Call 973-4488727 for more information.

By Cheryl Conway ustomers are going nuts and bananas over the new self-serve Frozen Yogurt Bar at Sundaes Ice Cream and Yogurt in Budd Lake. Sundaes is not only ice-cream sundaes anymore. Now frozen dairy dessert lovers can enjoy 14 single flavors and 7 mixed flavors of fat-free frozen yogurt, and choose more than 200 toppings of fresh fruit and other delicious toppings. Open since April 1, the Yogurt Bar is adjacent to the Sundaes Ice Cream, in the vacant unit that was formerly a Florist. Having a frozen yogurt bar in town provides a healthier treat for local and nearby residents, especially since there is no other establishment of its kind nearby. Im the furthest one west, says Peter Bryn of Budd Lake, owner of Sundaes Ice Cream & Yogurt, regarding the new yogurt bar. Bryn opened up the ice-cream shop in August 2012, in the location where the Dairy Queen was for five years. Customers can now choose between icecream and yogurt. At Sundaes Ice-cream and Yogurt, customers can choose from 60 premium homemade ice-cream flavors, yogurt, sherbert, sorbet, cyclones, shakes and malts, 150 toppings, homemade waffle cones and cups. Some of the flavors, such as

St. Michael School in Netcong Keeping Up With technology


past 23 years. We have an interactive smartboard now. Kuncken says our goal is to begin to create 21st century children, 21st century learners. Even at this level children are very excited and ready to learn technology. Its not like the smartboard replaces the learning. We use it as a tool. For example, the students recently learned a lesson on recycling for earth day. In addition to the weekly reader and having to bring in cans and newspapers to recycle, the students participated in a smartboard lesson in which there were three containers for cans, paper, and glass. The students had to clean up a forest and a stream by touching the garbage and dragging it into the correct container. Its an opportunity for them to learn another way, says Kuncken. You enrich, you supplement, you bring in a new approach. Its been very exciting. The kids look forward to it. Its a nice addition to what we always offered, says Kuncken. We are still learning. We are experimenting. There are many lessons for the children. Kuncken plans to use the Ipads as a learning center activity for three to four children at one time. There are many different educational learning games. Teaching with an Ipad also allows educators to individualize rather than address an entire group. For a child who needs a little more help on a particular skill, or an advanced child who needs to be challenged, an Ipad can be very beneficial, says Kuncken. It keeps the childrens interest. Jackson says next year they plan on putting in a new digital library. The St. Michael School offers classes five days a week, including full-day kindergarten. Besides offering the best in technology, the education program at St. Michael is top notch. Our education program here is very good, says Jackson. Its probably the best in the regional area. With high academic standards, Kids in kindergarten are reading at the first grade level. Students here are really ahead of their peers. Next year, St. Michael will be offering a Kindergarten Plus program for students not yet ready for first grade. KPlus is an advanced kindergarten environment that prepares students for significant first-grade work. The goal is when they are in seventh grade they are doing high school work, explains Jackson. We are going to use technology to help us advance that curriculum. It can be a jump start into high school. The St. Michael School is currently enrolling for the 2012/2013 school year. Call 973-347-0099 for additional information or to schedule a visit with a child. It comes alive when the children are here, concludes Kuncken.

Established in 1923, the private Catholic elementary school recently completed a new computer lab for its prekindergarten program offering Ipads and smartboards to its three and four year olds. With the recent upgrade, all of the 222 students enrolled at the school in grades pre-K through eighth, can be taught using the most advanced methods of technology. I dont think there is any pre-K in the area that has anything like this kind of program, says Ernest Jackson, school principal since Aug. 2011. We are using technology to help teach basic skills. Kids are growing up differently now. They are wired to use technology. They learn better with technology. Bringing technology into the classroom is something they are comfortable with. The school received its new computer lab in August, and the pre-Ks computer lab was constructed in March. A total of 48 Ipads and three smartboards were purchased through a private grant. The pre-K program is located in the convent, separate from the main school. We converted a room and created a mini-computer lab with Ipads and a smartboard, describes Diana Kuncken, pre-school teacher at St. Michael for the

ackettstown Regional Medical Center (HRMC) announced today that they are seeking a strategic partner to support their continued growth of services to meet the needs of the residents of their regional service area. With the changing healthcare environment within New Jersey and the nation, HRMC has determined there is a definitive need to proactively partner with a healthcare system that is a strong leader in the industry, dedicated to growing services and improving the quality of healthcare in New Jersey. The healthcare landscape in New Jersey is rapidly changing, particularly in the northwestern part of the state, and has become extremely competitive. The smaller, stand alone hospitals like HRMC, will find it progressively more difficult to meet the increasing needs and demands of a diverse population and still remain viable in the midst of challenging insurance provider relationships and decreasing reimbursements posed by State and Federal governments. With those factors in mind, HRMC leaders stress that the time is right for this exploration. To support HRMCs search, Cain Brothers, one of the nations leading health care financial advisory firms, is assisting in the exploration of strategic alternatives, including potential partnerships with larger organizations, both regional and national. With their assistance, well identify potential solutions to safeguard our ability to deliver valuable health care services to the

community, continue our positive growth, and affirm our commitment to providing state-of-the-art technology and compassionate, quality healthcare, stated Jason C. Coe, HRMC President. While HRMC pursues the development of a strong alliance with a health system partner, the Medical Center will continue to provide excellent care to their patients and will continue to work seamlessly with their current, affiliated provider, Hackensack University Medical Center. Through the present agreement, Hackensack University Medical Center provides contracted laboratory and pathology services, specialized bariatric surgical services, and neurosurgery for HRMCs stroke patients. Michael B. Lavery, Esq., past mayor of Hackettstown and spokesman for the HRMC Board of Directors, emphasizes, As HRMC navigates this process, the Board of Directors and Executive Team are committed to keeping the community informed. Periodic announcements will be made throughout the process, and consistent communication will be maintained via press releases, special media announcements and posted content on HRMCs website, www.hrmcnj.org. Coe added, We thank our community, in advance, for their continued support as we journey toward the goal of ensuring that HRMC will continue to grow, thrive and maintain our longstanding commitment to providing quality healthcare to patients in this region.

and the goals of this worldwide organization. Rotary Internationals mission is to promote peace through understanding, and locally our club has a direct impact on hundreds of individuals and families through its charitable giving, scholarship and dictionary projects, and food drives, said Kevin Guyette, president-elect of the Rotary. Robert Eberle, owner of Panther Valley Pharmacy and current Rotary Club president, said the show can feature 500 vehicles on a good-weather day Those cars include entries in 19 different classes including Mustang, Firebird, Camaro, Antique (pre-1940 to 1970), VW Beetle, Antique Trucks, and Street Rod, among others. Prizes are awarded in each class, with judging by show participants. Best of Show is chosen by popular vote, with this years winner receiving the first Ed Hagaman Memorial Trophy, named in honor of one of the shows founders. Special dash plaques are awarded to the first 400 entrants. The monies raised will help some very good causes. Guyette reflected on what that means to her as regards one project in particular: Our club .. has an incredible international project that provides medical equip-

By Elsie Walker he yearly madness will be hitting Hackettstown on May 27th.Motor Madness, that is. A variety of classic cars will fill the lots of Mars Chocolate North America at 800 High Street Hackettstown for the 18th annual Memorial Motor Madness Car show. Presented by the Hackettstown Rotary Club, the event benefits the Joan Knechel Cancer Center at Hackettstown Regional Medical Center as well as other local charities supported by the Rotary. (These include the NORWESCAP Food Bank, The Arc of Warren County, Big Brothers/Big Sisters, Camp Merry Heart, DASACC, and others.)

continued from page 14 lys association with disability. Through education and supports, these families are now able to seek the medical and developmental supports their children need, and they themselves are better able to accept and love those children as their own. Amid the fun of the car show, the meaning of memorial in Memorial Motor Madness is not forgotten. Local DJ favorite Doc South, who will be emcee and spin oldies all day, will mark the day. As he has done for years, he will ask for a moment of silence for the countrys veterans and members in service, and ask the crowd for silence during the playing of the National Anthem. Doc South will also ask for donations for the purchase of phone cards to be given to service members stationed overseas so they may call home. Food vendors will be on hand to serve breakfast and lunch items, including breakfast sandwiches, burgers and hot dogs, ice cream, and beverages. Rotary members will also be selling chances for a cash 50/50 prize. Part of the days fun is also catching glimpses of the popular M&M characters whose images seem to be everywhere, including crosswalk signs. Our continued and positive partnership with Mars Chocolate North America is paramount to the success of the car show. They not only make their facility and associates available for the event, but welcome the general public in the spirit of philanthropy. Mars passion for excellence is our inspiration for making Memorial Motor Madness better and better each year. We work well together, said Guyette.

Hi, my name is Smittie. My foster family says I am an awesome puppy! That is because I have a calm personality and I love, love, love everyone. I am a loyal, smart shepherd mix about 13 14 weeks old. And, as you can see, I am pretty darn cute. Smittie and his littermates were found roaming around the streets of NC all by themselves. Someone found them and turned them into an over populated shelter. So when Furever Home Dog Rescue heard about them, we brought them to NJ to live in a foster home until they are adopted. Smittie is kid friendly and enjoys playing with other dogs. You can say he just love to play.He is learning basic commands and is doing really good with house training. He even sleep through the night without having an accident. Socttie is in search of a furever home, he will be a devoted companion!
