Long Valley Woman Swims Around Manhattan
F
By Jason Cohen or Long Valley resident Susan Kirk swimming isn’t about racing or being the fastest, but rather the experience. On July 14, Kirk completed her longest swim ever when she swam around Manhattan. The event, which was titled, “20 Bridges,” is a 28.5mile swim around the Big Apple. It featured 10 men and five women from throughout the world, who swam from Battery Park, to the East River, along the Harlem River and Spuyten Duyvil Creek before reaching the Hudson River. According to New York Open Water, the organization that hosted the event, Kirk
finished in 12th place in 8 hours, 26 minutes and 29 seconds. This was her first-time swimming around Manhattan solo. In 2012, she did it with a four-person relay with a group called the “Jersey Girls,” Sarah Clark, Lynn Ascione and Mary Guilfoyle. “Finishing was my goal,” she said. “I’m not a super-fast swimmer.” New York Open Water (NYOW) was founded in 2016 by marathon swimmers David Barra and Rondi Davies and paddler Alex Arevalo. Its mission is to provide swimmers and kayakers with safe, challenging, and open water adventures in and around the waters of New York City and New York State.

“The open water just has so many challenges and it makes it so interesting,” Kirk said. “It’s also about connecting with nature and being able to experience the beauty we have around us.” Kirk, 58, explained that swimming around Manhattan was not easy. It was a sweltering hot day of about 90 degrees, there was boat traffic, dehydration, lack of energy and each body of water had different temperatures. Throughout the event, kayakers followed the swimmers and each swimmer would stop every 30 minutes with a kayaker for food and water. She noted that she would not have been able to finish the swim if not for her kayaker Lizzy Tabor. “I don’t do well warm water so the Harlem River was a challenge for me,” she said. “The Hudson was physically more demanding, but it was cooler, so I liked it better. It’s

really about leaning what works for yourself.” While this was her longest swim, this was not her first rodeo in the open water. On Aug. 4, she swam in the pouring rain from the Verrazano Bridge to Sandy Hook, N.J. While it was only nine miles, it took more than six hours because of the weather and extremely rough current. She has also participated in a swim in Lego Key, Fla. since 2015; has been doing a 10mile swim in Chattanooga, Tenn., in the Tennessee Riv-
er since 2014; in 2008 and 2010 did a swim in Bermuda; and does one several times in Barbados as well. Kirk grew up Indianapolis, Ind., and swam competitively from age 7 to 12. At 12- years-old, her family relocated to Canada, and she put swimming on the back burner while she got accustomed and enjoyed life up north. She didn’t swim in high school nor college and stayed out of the water until she was 29. In her 20s Kirk was often running and at one point decided she wanted to do a triathlon. As soon
as she began swimming again she “found her happy place.” “It was a wonderful welcome back,” Kirk recalled. “I felt right back at home in the water. As I got more involved with the swimming and training, I discovered that’s what I wanted to be doing.” In 1984 she moved to New Jersey with her husband Tom. Five years later the retired pharmacist joined Master Swimming and has been swimming ever since. While she swims at the cont. on page 2

Morris County Preserves Chester’s Cogger Farm
he Morris County Agriculture Development Board has permanently enrolled the 12-acre Cogger Farm, a vegetable farm in Chester Township, into the county’s farmland preservation program. It is the 26th farm in Chester Township to be enrolled in the county preservation program, and the 136th preserved farm in Morris County. The Morris County CADB purchased a development easement on the property for a total of $357,750, or $30,000 per acre, from its owner Marie Cogger. The State Agriculture Development Committee provided 60 percent of the funding, or $214,650, while the other 40 percent or $143,100, came from the voter-approved Morris County Farmland Preservation Trust Fund. The agreement restricts the land from non-agricultural uses, but the Cogger and Young
families retain ownership. The Cogger Farm, located on Pleasant Hill-Gladstone Road, is located across the street from another preserved farm also owned by the Cogger/Young family. The 88-acre Young Farm was preserved in 2008. Chester Township has the second-most preserved farms in Morris County, only behind Washington Township, according to Morris County Agriculture Development Board Director Katherine Coyle. “This long standing preservation program has worked extremely well to help preserve Morris County’s agricultural roots, and to create a permanent and viable agricultural business district, especially in western sections of Morris County,’’ said Freeholder Christine Myers, the county governing board’s liaison on preservation matters. In contrast to open space
W
Sh of off on ton 12
preservation, the agricultural landowner retains ownership of, and may even choose to sell, the preserved farmland. However, the land retains a deed restriction ensuring that it cannot undergo non-farm development. Agricultural development of the farm is permitted, and the type of farming activity can change in the future. Preservation of the Cogger Farm brings the total area
of preserved farmland in the county to 8,026 acres or the equivalent of 12 square miles. The Cogger Farm is the third preservation closing in Morris County in 2018. Another three farms, totaling 120 acres, are pending enrollment in the county program this year.

Lead East Introduces New Generation To The ‘50’s
T
By Elsie Walker hirty-five years ago, Terry Cook from Delahaya USA in Chester started a car show that turned into an event like no other: Lead East, known as the world’s biggest ‘50’s party. The event grew to become a journey back in time to the music, dance, movies, and sights of the 1950s. After the last Lead East, Cook decided to retire to write a book. However, the party isn’t over. Four longtime Lead East attendees from the Hope area have taken ownership of the event and Jim Craig of Great Meadows has become event coordinator. With these changes, Lead East still features an abundance of classic cars, but it is morphing from a party into a festival of the 1950s, with more offerings for kids than in the past. Classic cars are still a big part of it, as is the
spirit of giving. Lead East will run from Thursday, Aug. 30 to Sunday, Sept. 2 at the Parsippany Hilton. “We want to open the door to more generations and introduce other generations to the ‘50’s,” explained Craig. He compares attending Lead East to being beamed up to a spaceship and taken back in time. Things were different then. “In the ‘50s, everything was American; it was an American phenomenon,” he said. Lead East has always had the sounds of rock and roll bands and accapella do-wop groups, the look of ‘50s fashion like poodle skirts and greased back hair, plus a traditional prom and even Elvis sightings. Now, it is offering more for not only those who remember the ‘50s, but those experiencing it for the first time. Craig shared that people can
learn about how to dress like the ‘50’s or to decorate their home ‘50’’s style. Country line dancing has been added to the dance lesson offerings. Craig noted that classic country was also part of the ‘50’s. For kids there will be Craigles the
clown, a clown mobile, a flea circus, face painting, balloon animals and contests. A model making contest will be open to both boys and girls, in two different age groups. The children will be supplied with model car continued on page 18

Six Ways To Help Prevent Bullying
utting an end to bullying is everyone’s responsibility. Whether at home, school or elsewhere, it’s important that we’re proactive.
Here are five ways that kids and parents can do their part. 1. Don’t be a bystander. It’s true that it takes a lot of courage to stand out from the crowd and defend a victim of bullying. After all, the risk is that you’ll become the next target simply for speaking up. But reporting bullying and being there for someone who needs it are actions you’ll be proud of for the rest of your life. 2. Stop sibling bullying at home. You may think it’s harmless, but it’s not. Disdainful eye rolling, relentless teasing, humiliating taunts, hitting and verbal abuse directed at a sibling can cause depression and anxiety. Make sure your home is a safe place for everybody who lives there. 3. Enlist the help of adults. If you see a need for increased adult supervision at high-risk times and places at school or at home, ask for help from a trusted adult. 4. Get on board with an anti-bullying campaign at school. These campaigns show kids that bullying is not cool and won’t be tolerated any longer. Make an anti-bul-
lying banner and use social media to advertise the fact that you stand up against verbal and physical violence. 5. Parents: get involved. If your child is a victim of bullying, you need to take the situation seriously. Schools, the police and child psychology experts vigorously object to the belief that bullying is a childhood rite of passage. If the problem doesn’t stop, talk to the school authorities, and then to the police if there are no further improvements. At home, be vigilant about sibling bullying, and make it stop. 6. Pay attention to cyberbullying. Those who use cell phones, internet or other devices for social media interaction open themselves up to the latest form of bullying. Parents, be aware and get involved. Teach your child proper usage of these devices and reinforce that sending any text, message or photo that is cruel, hateful or threatening is as harmful as face to face bullying. Learn about the internet and pay attention to what your child is doing online. All users should be taught cyberethics and the law to prevent cyberbullying. Don’t be a victim. Don’t be a cyberbully. Bullying is no longer seen as a normal rite of passage for children; it’s a preventable behaviour that we can eradicate through education, awareness and action.

New Medical Center Aims To Encourage Nursing Innovation
The Nation’s Leading Organization of Early Childhood Professionals Has Recently Accredited
Flanders Valley Country Day School
Accreditation of Programs for Young Children Since 1985, NAEYC's national, voluntary accreditation system has set professional standards for early childhood education programs, and helped families identify high quality programs for their young children.

By Anya Bochman nveiled earlier this year after several years of planning, the Center for Nursing Innovation and Research (CNIR) for Morristown Medical Center (MMC) is providing greater research and innovation. MMC holds the American Nurses Credentialing Center’s (ANCC) designation of a “magnet facility;” inspired by the ANCC requirement for its “magnet recognition program,” a formal plan to expand innovation and research resources
via a specialized nursing center evolved. With support from the Women’s Association for MMC, the organizers were able to realize their vision this year. “We are grateful to the Women’s Association for MMC for the funding to support the CNIR,” said Carol Jones, chief nursing officer of MMC. “Within ten months of receiving funding the new space was built and utilized.” According to Jones, the primary goal of CNIR will be “improving patient and famcontinued on page 18

New Medical Center... continued from page 16 ily outcomes related to the health and well-being of individuals.” This design will be accomplished by utilizing CNIR’s research capacity to find improvements in healthcare, researching best practices or by exploring innovative changes in care delivery. PhD-prepped nurses will be spearheading all research and innovative endeavors at the center. According to Jones, one benefit of the CNIR is more flexible scheduling. For example, two formal education programs for research and innovation are held annually at MMC; the classes now take place at the CNIR, facilitating participation. Additionally, the CNIR will hold classes highlighting new perspectives leading to innovations in the fall. An Evidence-based Scholar Program is also now held at the center. Jones pointed out the various ways that the CNIR will serve the diverse needs of nurses. “Frequently, there is a research component associated with academic studies,” said

Of course, Lead East wouldn’t be Lead East without cars with 1,400 plus cars expected to arrive by Friday of the event. They come from not only New Jersey, but a variety of states. Also, they’re not all from the ‘50s. There will be cars from the 1930s – 1970s: classics, rot rods, muscle cars and more. One aspect of Lead East is that of giving. Every year, Lead East picks a charity to support
Jones. Nurses who are required to conduct research for academic purposes [can do so at CNIR], and seek guidance from nurse researchers at the center. Other nurses seek to learn about the evaluation of existing evidence or how to generate new knowledge through research.” The CNIR is open to any nurse working at Morristown Medical Center, and no special requirements are needed to meet with the nurse researchers about new ideas or research projects. “Motivated nurses are welcome and encouraged to utilize the resources and space!” Jones stated, adding that the formal classes on Evidence-based Practice and Innovation require an application due to limited class size. According to Jones, in the short period of time since the CNIR’s opening, nurses and physicians have provided favorable feedback. The frequent use of the space, including use by interprofessional teams for concept exploration and assistance planning studies has demonstrated the need for and
and this year it is the Ashley-Lauren Foundation which helps children in N.J. who have cancer. There will be a booth at which 50/50 tickets will be sold. Also, as it has been for many years, Piccatinny Arsenal, from Dover, will be on hand showing some of its military vehicles and collecting toys for Toys for Tots to be given out to needy area children at Christmas. The Parsippany police and fire departments are also expected to be on hand with vehicles and taking donations.

desirability of the center. Additionally, members of the non-medical community who have seen the CNIR have shared their enthusiasm for nursing activities with Jones and her colleagues. Expressing hope that use of the center will continue to evolve and grow, Jones stated that nursing leadership at MMC will perhaps engage members of the community
and area organizations, such as the Women’s Association for Morristown Medical Center, to collaborate on efforts of how to best serve the community. “Serving the community, as well as improving patient outcomes, are goals of the Atlantic Health System and Morristown Medical Center,” Jones said. “Nurse leaders at Morristown Medical Center have always been innovators!”

Local Nonprofit Foundation Receives Federal Money To Help Those With Paralysis
T
By Dawn M. Chiossi oday’s Care, Tomor“ row’s cure:” This is the inspiring mission of the Christopher and Dana Reeve Foundation. On July 1, the Christopher and Dana Reeve Foundation in Short Hills received a three year, 6.5 million dollar federal grant to help people who are living with spinal cord injuries and other conditions that cause paralysis. Some of these conditions include spinal cord injury, multiple sclerosis (MS), amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, (ALS), stroke, spina bifida and cerebral palsy. This money will aid these people in the many battles and challenges they face on a daily basis, enhancing their lives. The foundation is the recipient of the National Paralysis Resource Center cooperative agreement from the Administration for Community Living. The Reeve Foundation has operated the Paralysis Resource Center (PRC) for approximately 16 years. Quality of life: Everyone strives to obtain it, the enjoyment and independence that make life worth living. So many people take it for granted. But having quality of life is often
difficult, if not nearly impossible, when people have physical disabilities impeding their way. But those from the Short Hills based Christopher and Dana Reeve Foundation seek to change that. Their belief is simple: That every human being should be able to obtain and lead full and rich lives, regardless of their physical condition. They have an unwavering conviction that every human being deserves a life filled with dignity. Both Christopher and Dana Reeve were staunch advocates and champions for the disabled. After his horse riding accident that left him paralyzed in 1995, actor Christopher Reeve put a human and familiar face on those who are enduring spinal cord injuries and paralysis. No more could people pretend that it was just an anonymous person who was suffering with a disability: Reeve was famous, and had been considered synonymous with Superman! But he was more than just a celebrity or a figurehead. He and his wife Dana were activists, driven to create positive changes. Utterly passionate regarding helping these fellow courageous folks living with physical challenges, Reeve simply

considered them heroes. He staunchly sought to give them hope, because he knew how easily they could feel hopeless. A staggering 1 in 50 people in the United States, approximately 5.4 million Americans
live with paralysis of some kind. And those aren’t just numbers or statistics; they are people close to us. “We all know someone a brother, sister, friend, neighbor or colleague continued on page 24

ost parents know the first few weeks of school season and new daily routines can be hectic. From stocking up on school supplies to finishing up homework, there’s few unused minutes in the day. One thing that’s particularly easy to forget in the mad dash to catch the bus or make it to morning drop-off is a well-balanced, protein-packed breakfast. According to a No Kid Hungry study, when students have a balanced breakfast in the morning, they are more likely to attend school and perform better on standardized tests. Start the school year off right by giving your kids a breakfast they’ll love that also provides the protein they need
to kick-start their day. Recipes like Simple Ham and Waffle Breakfast Sandwiches or Baked Eggs in Avocado can be ready in minutes and provide fuel long past the first morning school bell. As a simple time-saver, Smithfield offers pre-diced, cubed and sliced ham that can make breakfast a breeze any day of the week. Incorporate it into a simple breakfast sandwich for a protein boost you can enjoy on-the-go. Served crispy or chewy depending on your preference, Thick Cut Bacon also puts a savory spin on nearly any breakfast plate, whether paired with eggs and avocado or a simple side of toast.

ack-to-school season means plenty of evening hours spent completing homework, attending extracurricular activities and preparing to repeat the schoolday routine the next day. For many families, having time to prepare and cook quality, nutritious meals can be next to impossible. Instead of choosing between valuable family time and hours spent in the kitchen, RAGÚ blogger, fitness enthusiast and busy mom Jamie Krauss Hess recommends stocking up on go-to pantry staples you feel good about and including them in quick, nutritious recipes everyone can enjoy together.

provide a flavorful alternative while offering a special twist to a classic family favorite. Quinoa Penne with Savory Tomato-Basil Sauce can hit the spot with just a handful of ingredients. Or, if the little ones clamor for a more kid-friendly dish and the adults don’t mind a throwback to childhood, Grown-Up Tomato Mac and Cheese can provide the best of both worlds. All three recipes take less than an hour to make and feature RAGÚ Simply pasta sauces, which are made with 100 percent olive oil and contain no added sugar. They’re available in four varieties including: Traditional, Chunky Marinara, Chunky Garden Vegetable and Flavored with Meat. By using simple ingredients like California vine-ripened tomatoes,
carrots, bell peppers, zucchini, onions and spices, the result is a taste-tempting sauce with recipe versatility. Find more family-pleasing and simple-to-prepare recipes ideal for busy school nights at ragu.com. Grown-Up Tomato Mac and Cheese Prep time: 10 minutes Cook time: 30 minutes Servings: 8 1 box (16 ounces) gemelli pasta 4 cups water 2 1/2 cups sharp cheddar cheese, shredded, divided 1/2 cup (2 ounces) Pecorino Romano cheese, grated 1 tablespoon corn starch 1 can (5 ounces) evaporated milk

Local Nonprofit Foundation... continued from page 20 who is suffering with paralysis. They aren’t strangers. They are one degree of separation from all of us,” officials assert. The Reeves’ Foundation is dedicated to performing innovative research, securing grants, providing information and much needed advocacy to aid their clients. During the past 16 years and moving forward, The Reeve Foundation and National Paralysis Resource Center continue to compete in a rigorous bidding process for every three years’ worth of funding, but the results for their clients are golden. Since it opened in 2002, 100,000 people have been aided by this organization with approximately 20,000 people helped in the past three years alone.
According to Anna Chamberlain, supervisor of Marketing and Communications for the Christopher and Dana Reeve Foundation since 2015, the Reeve Foundation has a dual mission. “We focus on creating resources and programs to help the 5.4 million Americans and their families impacted by paralysis though our Paralysis Resource Center while also funding innovative and cutting edge research to find cures for spinal cord injuries in the near future,” she explains. Offering a multitude of free services such as their peer program which offers a way of connecting individuals and caregivers with respective peer mentors to offer much needed emotional support, their military veterans program, information specialists, quality of
life grants, program advocacy, and policy programs, these resources are designed to aid the whole individual. They empower both the body and spirit, to help to navigate the insecure journey ahead. “The programs help individuals return to actively participating in their communities, achieving independence and self-sufficiency, achieving things we take for granted like learning how to drive again, going back to work and even leaving their own homes are also ways in which the PRC helps individuals every day.” Chamberlain enthuses. This recent grant will do so much for so many, making positive and uplifting differences in their lives. “We are thrilled that we can continue to expand our programs to help even more individuals and families create a
pathway to navigate their way towards an independent and thriving future,” Chamberlain says. “In many ways the PRC provides hope that many have lost, especially after those few days and weeks after a traumatic injury or event. I am personally thrilled we were evaluated on our demonstrated impact, value and positive outcomes. The PRC has helped so many families; it acts as a lifeline when their lives have changed in an instant. The grant will keep that lifeline open for those who need it the most.” Chamberlain sums up the mission of the Christopher and Dana Reeve Foundation perfectly: “We not only are giving helpful tools (to clients), we are giving hope.” To contact the Reeve Foundation, call 800-225-0292.

Heath Village Breaks Ground On New, State-of-the-Art Health Care Center And Rehab Facility
T
ogether with residents, local officials and guests, Heath Alliance for Care, the parent company of Heath Village Retirement Community, held a groundbreaking ceremony on Aug. 3 for its new 97,000 square foot Health Care Center and Rehabilitation Facility (HCC) at Heath Village West. Consistent with current best practices, the HCC will be built along a household model. Units will be arranged into small “neighborhoods” of 18 residents, allowing for more personalized routines and greater flexibility with residents’ schedules. A place that feels like home for both our short and long-term patients, the new HCC will do away with the old institutional feel of a hospital. The rehabilitation facility will include the latest technology in physical, occupational and speech therapies. “Not only will this health care center provide our residents and seniors living throughout northwest New Jersey with access to state-of-
the-art, cutting edge skilled nursing care and rehabilitation services, it will do so with a patient centered focus the likes of which have never been seen before,” said Heath Alliance for Care Board President Dr. Harold S. Lappin. “This is a great day for Heath Village and for older adults across the region,” said Executive Director Patrick Brady who, during the course of 30year tenure, has spearheaded and overseen many changes at Heath Village. “Providing our residents and older adults with access to quality health care delivered with compassion and dedication is an intrinsic part of our mission. “We look forward to continuing to serve the senior community for many years to come.” Heath Village is a full-service, not-for-profit, retirement community located in Washington Township. For further information, call 908-852-4801 or visit www.heathvillage.com.

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 Traditional 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 imbalance 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.

Save Money, Live Easier With 5 Ways To Money For College
C
By Azalia Whitlock ongratulations! The college process is over! The applying, the application fees, the running around for recommendation letters. It’s all over. Now the whole family is probably running to the nearest Bed Bath and Beyond try-
ing to find which comforter is the most “aesthetically pleasing” to the ideal dream college dorm. Before running for those necessities, come back to reality and realize that this isn’t the end of the worry. For most families, how much money college will cost

is top priority because as years continue, the prices for schools climb. Have no fear, here are some ways for soon to be college students to save and make money to help them keep college costs as low as possible. Apply for federal work study Federal Work Study is a program most schools have in which students receive a job through the student employment office. The money that the student earns does not go toward their tuition but instead goes to the student as cash during the semester. Depending on the school, they allow students a certain amount of money to earn. Mary Primich of Trenton, a sophomore at Monmouth University double majoring in secondary education and English, works on campus at Pollak Theater through federal work study. “It’s hard getting a job when you’re in school,” she says. “It’s cool how we’re able to work on campus throughout the semester and get paid for it. I use a little bit of it for day to day expenses and then the other half I save some of it to pay off my loans.” Federal work study is also a great way for students to get involved with their school as well as making money. Apply for EOF
EOF (Educational Opportunity Fund), is a scholarship that allows New Jersey students to receive a well-rounded education that they normally would not be able to afford. Given to those students more than capable of doing great things after college, chosen applicants are given full admission to the university that they attend, financial support, and services throughout the year to help them succeed during their next four years. Arina Martin of Jackson, a sophomore at Monmouth University majoring in music, is one EOF scholarship recipient. She states “EOF has given me the opportunity to go to college when I couldn’t afford it. Without it (EOF), I’m not sure if I would have been able to go to a university.” Be sure to check out the school’s website for their EOF program or call the school’s EOF department for requirements in seeking this financial help. Staying at home for school isn’t always bad Community college saves students money on food, room and board as well as other expenses such as room décor and transportation.

Model T Ford Day Planned
estored Model T’s will be on display at Fosterfields Living Historical Farm in Morris Township on Saturday, Aug. 25, from noon to 4 p.m. Visitors can join car enthusiasts from near and far as they share their passion and hard work of restoring these historical cars from the early 1900s. Generally known as the first affordable automobile, the Model T is a symbol of independence and opened transportation to middle-class Americans. On Christmas Day in 1922, Caroline Foster, the daughter of the previous owners of Fosterfields, received a Model T
as a present from her friends. Although her father, Charles Foster, was unhappy to see this new form of transportation on his property, it meant greater freedom for Caroline, and she took it out on her first road trip the very next day. Discover how to crank and drive the cars, learn about the history of Henry Ford, and stop by Fosterfields’ own Transportation Exhibit to see Caroline Foster’s car and others on display. Participants can enjoy lectures, hands-on activities and demonstrations for all ages and live music. They can also visit the farm animals and grab continued on page 30
cheaper.” Although some may look down upon going to a community college, many would agree that these students are making a wise choice as the cost difference between a community college and a university is evident. Orzechowski explains, “I’m paying $2,500 to be a full-time student this semester instead of $16,000+ a semester. If I did this a year ago I’d be in a better position because no matter what all of my credits would have transferred so I’d be in a better position.” Sell old clothes to a local thrift store Selling items and clothing that the student no longer uses anymore is a perfect way to not only save and make money, but to help the student determine what items are important versus completely irrelevant. By selling clothes at stores such
as Platos Closet in Ledgewood, a recycling store that allows customers to sell gently used clothes for cash and other items that they do not use, the student can save space in the car for move in day and make some extra cash. Bryanna Welch of Long Branch, a sophomore at Monmouth University majoring in sociology, endeavors in shopping at thrift stores. She states “If we are comparing goodwill to Urban Outfitters, then I would be saving so much money. Usually I compare quality and cleanliness of the clothing itself. I like good will because it helps out charities.” Summer jobs Summer jobs are a necessity for all college students. Considering there are three months of summer for the average college kid, there is more than enough time to get a job.

Eagle Scout Builds American Flag Disposal Boxes
hatham Township Eagle Scout Collin Goldbach, in coordination with the Morris County Municipal Utilities Authority, has designed and built American Flag disposal boxes to be located at key spots in the county, in an effort to call attention to proper methods of discarding old and worn Stars n’ Stripes. Goldbach, a member of Scout Troop 121 in Chatham and a senior at Chatham High School, displayed one of his
new flag boxes at a recent Morris County Board of Freeholders’ meeting in Morristown, where he briefed the board on his efforts. Joined by Morris County MUA Executive Director Larry Gindoff and MUA Assistant Operations Manager Mike Nunn, Goldbach explained that as someone who aspires to serve in the U.S. military, he finds it important to treat Old Glory with respect – even in disposal. “This is a terrific project

mission passes. This event is co-sponsored by the Friends of Fosterfields & Cooper Mill, and all proceeds will go towards a new horsedrawn wagon for visitors to enjoy.

done by this scout, yet another example of the fine and talented young people we have throughout this county,’’ said Freeholder Director Doug Cabana, who awarded Goldbach with a county certificate for his Eagle Scout status Goldbach, who was joined at the Freeholder Board meeting by his parents, Dawn and Frank Goldbach, built four of the bright red flag disposal boxes. Two of the boxes will be located at MUA transfer stations in Parsippany, at 1100 Edwards Road, and in Mount Olive at 168 Goldmine Road. A third will have a home in the county government Administration and Records Building at 10 Court Street in Morristown, and the fourth will be housed at the MUA’s facility at the Dover National Guard Armory at 476 Clinton Ave. The goal is to make it more
convenient for people to dispose of old and worn flags. When an American flag becomes worn, faded, torn or soiled, it should be retired and replaced with a new flag. However, it is illegal to throw away the American Flag. The Flag Code states that it should be destroyed with “with dignity, preferably by burning.” There are several ways to respectfully dispose of an American flag. The most common method is burning the torn or tattered flag in a special ceremony. This is best done by taking the old flag to one of Morris County’s many American Legion or VFW posts, where veterans and members may then hold a ceremony as they properly retire/dispose of it. For more information on flag disposal, check out the following sites: VFW: https:// www.vfw.org /community/ flag-etiquette.
