Favorite Teacher Says ‘Hello’ To Students And Friends At Retirement Party

By Lisa McNamara aying goodbye is hard, especially when it means retiring from a job one loves and have been doing for the past 18 years, so instead, Mary Jo Griese, beloved kindergarten teacher at Kossman School, requested a get together to say hello to all her students at Rock Spring Park in Long Valley on June 23. When Griese’s coworkers asked her what she wanted for her retirement, she quickly replied, “I want to see my kids.” Her coworkers rallied, planned and organized the non-traditional event to honor her request, and there were plenty of smiles and hugs to go around as former students, families and friends flooded Griese with memories, gifts and well wishes. It all began in Jersey City where she grew up, graduated from St. Peter’s College and started her career teaching second grade at a parochial school. Perhaps one of the biggest surprises of the day came when two men walked into the pavilion, upon seeing them, Griese exclaimed, “No way, no way!” But yes, Sean Perry and Anthony Festa, students from her very first class of 19821983, joined in the celebration. Perry remembers her making class fun and adds, “What 7 year-old boy likes school, especially parochial? But when I think about the teachers I’ve

had, she’s at the top of the list.” Festa says, “I remember getting caught cheating on a spelling test in her class and Griese turning the experience into a confidence-building lesson.” That lesson had a lasting impact on him. Griese stepped away from teaching to raise her family and moved to Long Valley in 1992. She re-entered the field first as a substitute, then took over for a maternity leave and eventually accepted the kindergarten position at Kossman School in September 2000 and has stayed there ever since. “Watching the unbelievable growth that occurs academically and socially,” has given Griese great joy, adding, “I always wanted them to know school was a safe, fun and wonderful place to be.” All the while, she strived to instill in her students a love for school and learning. Waves of students of all ages, families and friends streamed in as the party progressed, and Griese’s daughter, Kathleen Moor, summed up the turnout as “a testament to the impact she’s had on the kids in town.” Arlene Janusz, one of the party’s organizers, coworker and friend, notes, “Everything I learned, I learned from her.” Over the years, Griese developed wonderful relationships with families in Long Valley. And one of those fami-

lies, the Buchanans, was there. Kara Buchanan, mother of four, says “You can’t get any better; she’s a gem!” Buchanan should know since she has the distinction of being the only family where all four children had Griese as their kindergarten teacher. “They’ve been blessed and fortunate to have her to start their educational career.” Kaitlyn and Maddie Buchanan recounted many things they love about Griese and her classroom, but the name rings stood out as a favorite for Maddie.

Aurora and Colton Drake want Griese to know, “You’re the best teacher we ever had.” Leaving the classroom, Griese will miss many things, but mostly “their smiles and when the spark gets lit and they start to soar.” She offers a parting message to her students that she will always hold them dear and urges them “to continue to make a difference.” One lesson could be learned from the party and that is that Griese has certainly made a difference in the lives of many.

Vendors Still Sought For Market At Long Valley

By Julie Ross any Long Valley area residents were disappointed when they learned that the Long Valley Green Market, a summertime staple at the bottom of Schooley’s Mountain Road for the past six years, would not be returning for the 2018 season. But all may not be lost: The Washington Township Ad Hoc Economic Committee and the Washington Township Green Team still hope to introduce the new Market at Long Valley sometime this summer, providing that additional local vendors sign up to sell goods and produce there. If this happens, the market will be held in a field that lies within the East Mill Road Shopping Center on East Mill Road, between the Long Valley First Aid Squad building and the Long Valley

Pharmacy. The possibility of replacing the now-defunct Long Valley Green Market with a similar source of local goods had been a topic of discussion since the spring of 2018. Members of the Ad Hoc Economic Development Committee and the Washington Township Green Team, which steers sustainability efforts in the area, met to discuss the development of a new venue in a different, more viable location. Both Mayor Bill Roehrich and Committeeman Ken Short, economic committee liaison to the Township Committee, endorsed the idea. The committee had originally set an opening date of July 5 for the market, after working throughout the month of June to secure the location and finalize other plans for the venue. This included obtain-

ing approval from both the Long Valley First Aid Squad and Mickey Singh, owner of the Long Valley Pharmacy and the East Mill Road Shopping Center itself. Organizers did anticipate some difficulty attracting established vendors to the new market because many prospec-

tive sellers had already committed to their spring and summer schedules and signed contracts with other markets by the time the plans were finalized, according to Committee Chair Tyler Oborn. However, they also hoped the planned time slot—Thursdays, from 3 p.m. to continued on page 4

Market At Long Valley... continued from page 2 7 p.m.—might help to attract some vendors since most markets of this type are held on weekends, and that their decision to “not define the market by the name and not call it the ‘Green Market’ or the ‘Farmers Market’” would be a drawing card, according to Oborn. But they eventually opted to wait

for more vendors that offer locally made goods and produce to join the ranks before moving forward with the opening. Residents interested in visiting the Market at Long Valley should watch for opening information at www.wtmorris. org. Once open, the market will operate every Thursday, from late afternoon to early evening,

through October 11. Meanwhile, vendors and purveyors that wish to register to sell their wares at the market this year can do so by visiting www.wtmorris.org and completing a questionnaire. A copy of the prospective vendor’s Certificate of Insurance, along with a completed Hold Harmless agreement (also available

on the website) and a check made payable to Washington Township 2018 LV Market (with “2018 LV Market” written on the memo line) should then be mailed to: Market at Long Valley, Washington Township, 43 Schooley’s Mountain Road, Long Valley, N.J., 07853. The cost to participate in the market is $15 per week.

‘Movies Under The Stars’

he Washington Township Recreation Department is bringing back “Movies under the Stars” after last year’s great success.

Chester Senior Finds His Niche With Fuzzy Art

By Cheryl Conway hen it comes to colors, creating and themes, the possibilities are endless for one local artist whose art was featured this past year at the Chester Library and may be popping up at other places in the future. Hugo “Butch” Cabrino, 54, of Chester has been an artist of Fuzzy Art for the past 36 years but it was not until recently that he realized people really do admire his work. During the month of February, 12 of his finest pieces were on display at the library and seven were actually sold by those who took notice. As a resident of Chester Senior Housing for the past three years, Cabrino lived in Roxbury for the 14 years prior. Born with Cerebral Palsy, Cabrino has faced challenges in life but has also found a balance to stay busy and maintain a posi-

computer and the memorabilia that I collect.” Cabrino’s work with art began more than 30 years ago when he lived in Pennsylvania. “It’s called Fuzzy Art because it has a felt background,” he explains. “I have thousands and thousands of different markers that I use. As long as I can keep myself busy I can do

tive attitude. “I had it all my life,” says Cabrino regarding Cerebral Palsy. “In my case I was told it affected hamstring muscles in my legs and to some degree I did have it in my hands. I walk on forearm canes; hence I had to find something to entertain myself in the cold months. So I turned to Fuzzy Art to have something to do besides the

pretty well.” He buys the prepared pictures, about 16x20 inches, already with the felt background and then colors them in all different colors and patterns using “the imagination as far as the colors go.” Some pictures can cost him $5, except when he buys them in bulk, but “to continued on page 7

Themes are vast and include animals, birds, city scenes, famous bridges. “That’s part

of the fun the variety you can get.” Completing one picture can vary time wise. “I may start one, put one aside then decide to eventually go back to it,” says Cabrino. Average picture can take about three days for him to complete. As far as art classes, Cabrino is self-taught. “It’s strictly

based on freelancing and imagination,” he says. As a matter of fact, he was once discouraged by his talent. “When I was in grade school my teacher I had failed me in art,” says Cabrino. She told him ‘I don’t think your art career will ever amount to much.” Cabrino has proved her wrong as “a lot of people told me they like the subjects, they like the color.” Cabrino prefers to use metallic for his colors, but the selection is limited and can cost more money. “I know I’ll never be Picasso, I’ll never be van Gogh. I have my little niche so to speak,” he realizes, especially when his work catches another eye such as Joy Franz-Kin this past winter. “Joy saw some of my work,” shares Cabrino. “She was talking to me about the work; she said I have an idea. They exhibit things in the library. She

said ‘it may sound funny; I’d like to do the same for you.’ I thought she was joking. I don’t have a reputation; I’m not an established artist. She said she knows someone in the library and they have a spot. I thought maybe I can make this thing fly.” Sure enough, the library called Cabrino and offered him a month to display his work. “It was all very positive,” says Cabrino. “People would look at the work hanging on the wall and had some really nice things to say. The kids were really taken by it. I did get seven people who actually called me and I was able to sell to them; I made arrangements to meet them in the library and make a deal so to speak.” Cabrino sold his pieces for $10 apiece and has many more for those who are interested. He hopes to have another display sometime in the future. continued on page 8

Fuzzy Art... continued from page 7 “I have plenty of work to display,” he says. Cabrino says about FranzKin, “She’s been my biggest supporter, my biggest fan.” Franz-Kin, who says she met Cabrino at a Lunch-n-Learn at Congregation Church in Chester, and again while visiting her three friends at Chester Senior, is most impressed by Cabrino and hopes to get his work displayed at other venues such as hospital hallways. “I think he’s a wonderful man,” says Franz-Kin. “I told him ‘I’m not finished with you yet.’ He was born with this disability. I’m just so proud of him. He still goes forward and smiles. He goes on with his life and doesn’t say ‘poor me, poor me.’ He’s a good man.” Whether his displays continue or not, either way he plans to keep creating. “The idea that I can do it, it’s

a lot of fun; it keeps me from getting bored,” he says. “I like the idea you can work with so many colors. You get to see the finished product; after all the work that you’ve done, it hopefully puts a smile on your face.” Growing up Cabrino says he had to take special education classes, but as far as a degree, “never really finished,” he says. “It was such a struggle for me, I got to a point where I couldn’t handle it anymore. I got to ninth grade but I couldn’t handle it anymore.” While he does not have a profession he says “I try to do normal things that everyone else does, sometimes it gets a little harder because of my disability,” especially during the winter. “I’m into my artwork,” says Cabrino. “That’s something that’s basically a winter activity in case I get snowed in. I’m not one to go out in the winder in

the bad weather. It just gives me something to do, I don’t get depressed. I like to throw myself into something; that’s the type of guy that I am.” Besides his art, Cabrino

enjoys sports particularly the Mets for baseball, Giants for football and Pittsburgh Penguins for hockey, as well as collecting baseball cards and sports memorabilia.

Make Summer Sweeter With Fresh Cherries

ummer and cherries seem to go hand-in-hand, and using fresh fruits can help boost seasonal food and drink recipes. Whether you use them as a snack, as a special ingredient in recipes or to inspire new dishes, Northwest-grown sweet cherries are one delightful way to celebrate the summer season. Many grocery store shelves are full of these sweet, seasonal treats. Ripened on the tree and generally harvested, packed and ready for sale within just one day, it can be difficult to find a fresher summer fruit. Cherry recipes can be enjoyed outside the summer months, too – simply rinse, pack and freeze an extra bag or two of cherries to harness the sweet flavor and health benefits in your appetizers, desserts and sweet or savory sauces throughout the year. Impress your guests this summer with this ice-cold Cherry Lavender Spritzer. Or

try Roasted Cherry Sauce for an accompaniment to your favorite barbecued meat, as an ice cream topper or paired with a cheese plate; it’s one way to have everyone asking for more. Find more recipes and cherry tips at nwcherries.com. Cherry Lavender Spritzer Servings: 6 4 cups pitted and halved Northwest sweet cherries 2 cups water 3 tablespoons lavender 2 tablespoons sugar 6 Northwest sweet cherries with stems 6 sprigs lavender blossoms In small saucepan, combine cherries, water, lavender and sugar.

ice in tall 12-ounce cocktail glass; top each with club soda. Garnish each drink with one cherry with stem and one sprig lavender blossoms. continued on page 17

Governor Cody Aims To Prevent Teen Suicide

By Jason Cohen ith teen suicide on the rise throughout the state, Senator Richard Codey (D-Livingston), recently unveiled a $1 million plan to combat depression and help educate people on mental health. On July 1, the former governor introduced a bill that will award a $1 million grant within the NJ Department of Education (DOE) for school districts to hire mental health counselors. The NJ Department of Health will determine which school districts are awarded grants. The DOE will report on progress by 2021. There will be specialized training workshops to non-licensed, auxiliary school staff who interact with students and a creation of a statewide “Teen Suicide and Depression Task Force” charged with developing additional methods to combat teen

suicide and depression and report back to the state legislature by July 2019. “School workers such as secretaries, security guards and teacher’s aides need the tools and training to recognize bullying, early warning signs and symptoms of mental health issues, and the proper steps to resolve conflict and prevent potential disasters,” declared Governor Codey at a press conference at Liberty Middle School in West Orange in May. According to the New Jersey Youth Suicide Report, 2,731 people age 10 to 24 were treated in an emergency room for non-fatal suicide attempts/ self-inflicted injuries from 2013 to 2015. Also, according to the New Jersey Dept. of Health, from 2007 to 2016, suicides among children ages 10 to 18 rose by 16.6 percent. “Too many young lives are being lost,” Codey said at the press conference. “New Jersey

must act now to better equip all school employees to help identify at-risk students and prevent teen suicides and other mental health related incidents in their schools.” Codey and his wife, Mary Jo Codey, have been involved with mental health since 2012 when they established the Codey Fund for Mental Health. The organization’s goal is to educate people about mental health and provide quality treatment for individuals with mental illness. Mary Jo has dealt with depression and Codey has met with many parents who have lost kids to suicide, including Dianne Grossman of Rockaway, whose daughter Mallory took her own life at age 12 in June 2017 and Rachelle St. Phard, whose son Coby committed suicide in March 2016 at age 18. The governor has been sur-

rounded by death most of his life. He is the owner of Codey and Jones Funeral Home in Caldwell, but noted that he has never seen so saw many young people die until recently. Codey feels that social media is a huge factor in teen depression and suicide. Instead of being outside with friends or being active, bullying follows kids home onto Snapchat, Twitter or Facebook, making their lives even worse, he said. With the recent suicides of designer Kate Spade and renowned chef, Anthony Bourdain, depression can affect anyone, he said. The governor hopes these deaths may get people to talk about depression. “The biggest thing for mental health is to overcome the stigma of depression,” he said. “Teenage suicide is not a comfortable issue for people to talk about.”

Acupuncture For The Treatment Of Generalized Anxiety Disorder (GAD)

re you one of the 40 million Americans affected by GAD? If so, Acupuncture can be a powerful treatment, both for anxiety and depression. Anxiety seems to affect twice as many women as it does men. In Western medicine GAD is characterized by excessive anxiety and worry about everyday life events with no rhyme or reason for the worrying. People suffering from GAD seem to always expect bad things to happen and typically ruminate about such things as their health, their children’s safety, work, school and money. People who suffer with GAD, the anxiety is often unrealistic for the situation. Hence, life becomes a constant state of fear, anxiety, worry and dread ultimately interfering with their daily functions. In Tradition-

Deborah Waddell, Dipl. Ac., C.A.

al Chinese Medicine (TCM), GAD is viewed not as a brain disorder, but more as an inner organ dysfunction or imbalance. TCM holds that each of the 5 major organ systems (Kidney, Heart, Spleen, Liver and Lung) plays a vital role in the emotions. Emotions and organ systems health are intimately connected. These organs can develop imbalances and dysfunctions due to dietary, lifestyle, environmental and hereditary factors. For example, worry, dwelling too much on a particular subject and excessive mental work are symptoms of a Spleen system disorder according to TCM. Lack of enthusiasm and vitality, mental restlessness, depression, insomnia and despair are symptoms of a Heart system imbalance. Symptoms associated with a liver imbal-

ance will manifest as anger, frustration, resentment, irritability, and flying off the handle. Lung imbalances typically manifest more as grief, sadness, melancholy and detachment. Lastly, with an imbalance of the Kidneys, a person may be very fearful, insecure, and aloof, isolated and have little to no willpower. The heart in TCM is said to store the spirit or Shen and in all anxiety cases, the Shen is disturbed. The heart “houses” the Mind and the state of Mind relates to the emotions of the Heart. Therefore, calming the Shen or Spirit will be a fundamental part of any anxiety treatment. Treating the Heart/Shen system addresses emotional turmoil, thereby restoring balance, calmness and tranquility to both the physical and mental

aspects of health. TCM classifies the cause of GAD based on the extent to which individual organ system or systems demonstrate signs and symptoms of disturbance and how their Qi (life force/energy) is affected. In anxiety, the most common injured organ systems are the Heart and Spleen. According to Chinese Medicine, anxiety is differentiated into the following types: 1. Heart and Spleen Qi deficiency: Pre-occupation, obsessive thinking (ruminating), aversion to speaking, inappropriate laughter, depression, palpitations, chest tightness, difficulty falling asleep, fatigue, poor appetite, abdominal distention, teeth marks and or a red tip on the tongue, pale tongue, and a weak pulse. 2. Kidney Qi deficiency: pre-occupation, feeling of fear

and dread, and may be accompanied by low back and knee pain or weakness, low libido, frequent urination, cold hands and feet, difficulty staying asleep, tinnitus, a pale and/or swollen tongue and a weak pulse. 3. Liver Qi stagnation: pre-occupation, feelings of irritability, moodiness, poor appetite, severe PMS, hypochondriac pain or tightness (pain or tightness in the rib area), muscular tension which typically manifests in the neck and shoulder area, fatigue, alternating loose stools and constipation, a pale tongue with distended sublingual veins beneath the tongue, and a wiry weak pulse. 4. Lung Qi deficiency: pre-occupation, rapidly changing moods, sadness, and easily feeling grief and loss, inability to “let go”, aversion to

speaking, shortness of breath, weak cough, sweating easily on exertion, throat discomfort, and a pale tongue and thin pulse. Acupuncture therapy, according to TCM, believes that health is dependent on the smooth flow of Qi – which when in good health moves in a smooth and balanced way through a chain of 14 major channels or meridians. By inserting fine, painless needles into specific acupoints which belong to different meridians and organ systems, the body’s energy (Qi) is stimulated to start the healing process. For the best results of anxiety treatment I always recommend lifestyle and dietary changes in addition to Acupuncture and Chinese herbal formula treatments to help balance the Mind and Shen. In addition, learning yoga and meditation on how to control and relax the mind is extremely helpful. Combining these arts, dietary changes and regular Acupuncture treatment will provide a medication free alternative treatment for those who suffer from general anxiety disorder.

CASA recruits, trains, and supervises community volunteers to be advocates, mentors, and champions for each child on his or her journey to a safe, permanent, and nurturing home. Kiwanis International is a global organization of volunteers dedicated to improving

the world one child and one community at a time. The New Jersey District of Kiwanis was established in 1918. Over 99 years later, the New Jersey District remains active with 10 divisions and 80 clubs. The New Jersey Kiwanis family is more than 17,000 people strong who share the common bond of serving our local and global communities. The special feature of Kiwanis is that each club selects its service project based on the needs of that respective community; the members are joined by their desire to perform volunteer service that benefits their locale.

Ryan Smith Of Chester Earns Eagle Scout Rank

yan Smith, son of Scott Smith and Cindy Dominguez of Chester, has achieved Boy Scouting’s highest rank, that of Eagle Scout. He reached his goal of Eagle on Feb. 20 and received his Eagle badge during a court of honor ceremony on June 2 at the Chester Area Senior Housing facility in Chester, the site where he completed his Eagle Scout service project. To earn the award, a Scout must be active with and assume a position of leadership in a troop, earn a minimum of 21 merit badges and complete a service project that benefits the community. The ceremony was attended by Chester Township Mayor Marcia Asdal, Chester Borough Mayor Janet Hoven and Congressman Leonard Lance. Smith began his scouting career as a Tiger Cub with Pack 121 in Bentonville, Ark., and continued through Cub Scouting to achieve its highest award, the Arrow of Light. In 2011, Smith moved to New Jersey with his family and joined Troop 139 in

Chester. Since that time, Smith has held a number of leadership positions including den chief, troop historian and librarian. He has earned 33 merit badges and in 2017 served as patrol leader while attending the Boy Scout National Jamboree in West Virginia. For his Eagle Scout Service Project, Smith wanted to help the residents of the Chester Area Senior Housing facility stay better connected with their family and friends. He raised the money that went to the purchase and placement of two iPads and stands and educated the residents at C.A.S.H. on how to use both Skype and Facetime. Under his direction, both scouts and adult volunteers helped complete the project that took nearly 90 man-hours. Smith is a recent graduate of West Morris Mendham High School and will be attending High Point University as a communication major this fall. Smith is an active member of St. Lawrence the Martyr Catholic Church in Chester, where he has devoted many volunteer hours to support its summer vacation bible school, Peer Ser-

vant Team and Barn Ministry. Troop 139 has been active in the Chester community for more than 50 years and meets every Monday at 7:30 p.m. in the Community Presbyterian Church in Chester. New members are welcome.
