Livingston Man Needs Kidney

J

By Melissa A. Kay acob Silver of Roseland, New Jersey will turn 30 on March 21. It’s a milestone, and for Silver, it means more to him than most. Having been diagnosed with a neurogenic bladder at just six months old, his life has been burdened with countless trips in and out of hospitals, several surgeries, multiple bacterial infections, and eventual kidney failure. Silver lived in Loma Linda, California as an infant, but after moving across the country, he graduated from Livingston High School. He was accepted to seven colleges, six of which offered him scholarships, as his mother, Marlene S. Baker shared. Silver decided that Rutgers University would be where he’d go, and zeroed in on business, making it his major. Baker explains of her only child, “Unfortunately due to being sick so often, he only was able to get through two years of college. Jacob is an extremely smart individual, originally wanting to be on Wall Street. Since then he changed his mind and wanted to teach quantum physics. He has a very dry sense of humor, loves soccer, video games, and the stock market. He is a good son and grandson, and my life.”

These days, Silver resides with his Aunt Mary in a shared apartment, and he’s very close to his maternal grandparents, Shirley and Murray Silver. Since he was small, Silver’s health battles have been part of the picture. He’s in need of a new kidney, and the fact that his blood type is O negative makes it even harder for him to find a match, according to Baker. She says, “Every day is bad, it’s just the degree of bad that it is.” Seeing her son in this condition must be so difficult for Baker to handle, but for the sake of her son, she stays strong. Baker explains, “Jacob has been on peritoneal dialysis since October of 2017. This past December, it stopped working and he had to begin hemodialysis. Unfortunately, it has not been going well for him. He’s having an extremely hard time adjusting to the differences in diets and the amount of fluids allowed. He is also regularly suffering from cluster headaches which last caused him to have a seizure and be hospitalized for a week. He has been on the waiting list (for a kidney) here in New Jersey almost three years, and almost two years in Florida. I really believe - as I’m sure most parents of children waiting for kidneys do - that he continued on page 5

A VIEW FROM THE LEFT

Will We Like Mike?

I

EDITORIAL &

Opinions

n the seven presidential elections since 1992, the Republican presidential nominee has won the popular vote exactly once. The lone GOP candidate to receive a majority of the national vote was George W. Bush in 2004. Bush’s election-day victory over Democrat John Kerry, who had, in most observers’ views, “won” the debates between the two, was explained by the respected Democratic pollster Peter Hart: “Voters preferred I Like over IQ.” One test of deciding between presidential nominees is, “Who would you rather have a beer with?” which is another way of asking which White House challenger the voter personally likes more than the other. In short, our ballot for president is the most “personal” vote we Americans cast. Almost always, we pick the candidate with whom we are more comfortable and, more significantly, the candidate whose judgment and character we think we could depend upon in a personal crisis. As evidence of the weight of the “I like” factor in presidential voting, let’s look at recent contests: In 2012, Barack Obama, the winner, was rated 52% personally favorable by voters, while Mitt Romney’s scores were 47% favorable and 50% unfavorable. In 2008, Americans had a rare positive choice. In the last Gallup poll before election day, John McCain was given a favorable rating by 57% of Americans and was barely eclipsed by Barack Obama’s 61% favorable score. In 2004, winner George W. Bush was 53% favorable among voters on election day, while John Kerry’s numbers were at 47%-51%. In 1992 and 1996, voters liked Democrat Bill Clinton more than they liked both then-President George H. W. Bush and Sen. Bob Dole. Of course, the outlier election was 2016, when both Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump received historically low favorability scores. About

Mark Shields 1 in 5 voters rated both candidates unfavorably but, when forced to choose between the two, voted for Trump with 3-2 odds. But what about the 2020 Outsider who’s on our living rooms TVs at every timeout of every game, at every commercial break between weather reports, news coverage and even during the Super Bowl? Former New York mayor Michael Bloomberg, an authentic billionaire, is spending at a rate unprecedented in American politics. And it is paying off. In most recent national polls, Bloomberg -- on the strength of his wall-to-wall media campaign -- has risen to double digits and as high as third place in some surveys. We know that Michael Bloomberg has supported and spent generously to back candidates and initiatives that reflect his own priorities of gun control and climate change. In the eyes of some Democrats, Bloomberg’s political history -- his quarter-million-dollar gift to South Carolina Republican Sen. Lindsey Graham; the more than $11 million the mayor donated in 2016 to Pennsylvania continued on page 6

Tyranny of the Tamiflunatics

eware of clickbait character assassins masquerading as “journalists.” This is a lesson America should have learned after the mass media defamation of the Covington Catholic schoolboys last year. Just a few weeks ago, innocent teenager Nick Sandmann won a multimillion-dollar settlement against CNN for leaping to conclusions and attempting to ruin his life in pursuit of a political agenda driven by confirmation bias. The Washington Post and NBC News face similar lawsuits for potential damages totaling more than a half-billion dollars. False allegations have consequences. And yet, here we are again. In Colorado last week, a young family was hurled into a national firestorm created by a single, powerful NBC News vigilante with an ideological ax to grind. “Investigative reporter” Brandy Zadrozny lit the fuse on Feb. 6 with a Twitter post announcing that a 4-year-old had died of the flu. According to the Centers for Disease Control, an estimated 10,000 Americans (including nearly 70 children) have died of the flu this season. So what made this Colorado toddler’s tragic death newsworthy? The NBC News journalist condemned the boy’s mom for having reached out to a Facebook health-centered parents’ group whose members recommended that she not give her child Tamiflu medicine that a pediatrician had prescribed. Some commenters on the group had advised home remedies, including essential oils and vitamin C. Zadrozny linked to her incendiary hit piece on the mom and the “Stop Mandatory Vaccination” Facebook group, which was titled: “On Facebook, anti-vaxxers urged a mom not to give her son Tamiflu. He later died.” The toxic inference is clear: “An-

Michelle Malkin ti-vaxxers” are guilty of spreading online “misinformation” that led the mom to withhold a purportedly life-saving modern medicine -- and Facebook is guilty for not stopping it. Zadrozny is a self-anointed and self-appointed social media policewoman whose main focus is pressuring Facebook to shut down discussion groups she doesn’t like. She labels all vaccine skeptics as conspiracy theorists without refuting facts or responding to peer-reviewed journal citations and historical data. She uses her bully pulpit to harangue Facebook into censoring laypeople seeking alternatives to “mainstream” medicine. Zadrozny quoted “experts” fretting about parents who discuss their objections to coercive mandates and missives of Big Pharma and Big Government. Her article sneered at “natural remedies.” The magic words “anti-vaxx” triggered the Two Minutes Hate theater that sent “Tamiflu” trending on Twitter. The nicer messages called for the boy’s grieving mom to be arrested and imprisoned. Many advocated that she continued on page 6

Understandably, he hasn’t felt well since the dialysis started. A donor around age 30 with blood type O negative would be Silver’s best match. Baker shared how others can help, even if they can’t donate a kidney to Silver directly. “They have what’s called an exchange program. Anyone who would like to donate a kidney would do so in Jacob’s name. If they passed all the tests and were qualified to donate a kidney, whatever blood type they are, it would go to the person at the top of the list waiting for that particular blood type. In exchange for that, Jacob would re-

any people plan to retire by a certain age, but few may actually still be working at their targeted retirement age. In the United States, the age at which working Americans expect to retire has risen to 66. But a Gallup poll showed that most don’t stay on the job that long, instead retiring when they’re about 60 or 61. In addition, according to a 2018 Employee Benefit Research Institute survey, 48 percent of workers wanted to

retire after age 65, but only 19 percent of retirees stayed on the job that long. The reasons vary, but one positive outcome is having enough money to live comfortably during retirement. Still, early retirement largely involves unexpected scenarios. These may include poor health, having to care for an aging parent, downsizing, new skills required for the job, or other workrelated reasons.

who tell him how much smarter, more successful and more qualified he is to be president than anyone else?

had changed course after Montoya had commented to the Facebook group. Nor did she independently verify whether the parents were “anti-vaxx” or what vaccines besides the controversial flu vaccine (whose effectiveness has been challenged worldwide by health officials) they had chosen to avoid. A local television station, however, did the reporting Zadrozny failed to do. It turns out the entire family, except for 4-year-old Najee Jr., had been suffering from influenza B. A 10-month-old brother who had been running a high fever had been seen at my neighborhood Children’s Hospital in Colorado Springs the afternoon before Najee Jr. fell ill. Montoya told Fox31 TV in Colorado Springs: “We called the doctors. We called the hospital. We gave them the medicine we were instructed to give. We did everything.” Those who have already prejudged the mom respond that she must be lying. What if she is telling the truth? And why hadn’t Zadrozny updated her story as of Feb. 11? I asked the online social media monitor that question publicly on Twitter, but she failed to respond by my deadline. More to the point, it’s quackery to suggest that Tamiflu would have saved Najee Jr.’s life. The respected Cochrane researchers in Britain have concluded there is no

evidence the medicine reduces mortality or hospitalizations. In 2006, the FDA updated the Tamiflu label indicating that it could cause psychiatric problems. Japan banned Tamiflu for teenagers amid concerns about deleterious side effects. Just days before Zadrozny crucified Najee Jr’s family, a Denver mom publicly warned that her 8-year-old daughter suffered hallucinations from Tamiflu. Earlier this week, a 16-year-old girl in Leesburg, Va. with the flu died of cardiac arrest. She had been prescribed Tamiflu. Another 16-yearold in Ohio died of the flu last month after suffering a stroke. She, too, had been prescribed Tamiflu. Their cases didn’t make NBC News headlines, because they don’t fit the dissent-squelching narrative. Tamiflunatics, vaccine bullies and their media gatekeepers spread misinformation that destroys lives. They are the true public health threats.

For Some People, Every Day is a Day to Celebrate the Irish

M

By Elsie Walker any people will say that St. Patrick’s Day is the day when everyone is Irish. Green is seen all around and the focus is on all things Irish. For the Irish American Association of North West Jersey (IAANWJ), the focus every day is on all things Irish. Located in Rockaway on Richard Mine Road, the association’s mission is “to preserve the Irish culture and to create an awareness of the contributions the Irish have made, and continue to make, in building America,” said Jack Regan. A first generation American, Regan has been a member of the IAANWJ for over 20 years, a past president of it and currently is the Sergeant of Arms on its executive board. Recently, Regan, of West Milford, talked about the IAANWJ’s history, some of its events, and ways it preserves and passes on the Irish culture. Also, he shared that you don’t have to be Irish to join the association or to enjoy what it has to offer, which includes the annual St. Patrick’s Day parade in Morristown which is being held on March 14th. “I love the club,” said Regan of the association. The IAANWJ started in 1974 when a group of people of Irish heritage came together and realized how much they had in common and that they wanted to share and preserve their Irish heritage. They met elsewhere before buying a building for their clubhouse in 1977. Besides the events and classes it holds on site, the association is involved in two big events off-site, one right around the corner: the annual St. Patrick’s Day parade in Morristown. Regan shared that in 1979, the club members decided to have a St. Patrick’s Day parade in Wharton. They con-

tinued to have it, but as years went on, it became so popular that it had to move to a bigger venue. In 1990, the IAANWJ got together with the Friendly Sons, who became co-sponsors of the parade, and Morristown was selected as the venue. This year’s parade will be held on March 14th. (Preceding the parade, there will be a mass at The Church of The Assumption in Morristown.) The parade will begin at noon, with its starting point being the town hall. Longtime IAANWJ member, Mary Waller, of Sparta, will be the Grand Marshall. Another popular yearly event held by the association is a feis/festival the second Sunday in September. It starts with a mass. Then, there are competitions in Irish step dance and music. There are Irish language demonstrations and examples of Irish art. Entertainment is provided by an Irish Band. The association also has other events, which are held at its clubhouse. Among them are a Celli (dance) the fourth Sunday of the month at 3pm. There is also a barbeque Celli held during the summer. A traditional Irish music session (with music played by all ages) is held monthly on Saturdays at 8 pm. The second Saturday in December is the annual Christmastime Holley. People come together and share their talents, cheer on each other and have a good time. The clubhouse is also the site of a monthly Irish book club.

“so it is not lost,” said Regan. Regan shared that some benefits he’s found of the IAANWJ are that people get to know more about and appreciate their Irish heritage; there’s also the friendship of members, and the active lifestyle it creates.

I Remember Dad:

God and Country

S

By Richard Mabey Jr. ome of the most endearing memories of my Dad are of the times when he served as a Sexton at the Boonton United Methodist Church. Dad loved his church. He dedicated over a decade of his life to cleaning and maintaining his beloved church. Dad began serving as the Church Sexton in the Summer of 1981. At the time, Dad was still working as a long distance truck driver. Generally speaking, on Wednesday evenings after supper, Dad would climb into his little Ford Ranger pickup truck and drive off to the church to clean it. I often went with Dad. I really don't know how my father did it all. When he started working as a Sexton he was 53 years old. I would often see the fatigue in Dad's eyes as he drove down Route 202, on his way to the church. Dad would put in two to three hours of cleaning time on Wednesday nights. Then on Saturday mornings, he would get up early and eat breakfast. I often got up early on Saturday mornings, to help him clean the church. Right after breakfast we would make sandwiches. Then, throw in a couple

of apples with a few oatmeal cookies in little brown bags. We would make tea and coffee at the church, for our lunch break. When we got to the church, Dad and I would start vacuuming and scrubbing. I was always amazed at how hard my Dad worked. Dad was an incredibly hard working man. He truly loved his church. Dad did get paid for being the Church Sexton. I don't think he reported to the Minister, even half of the hours he worked. It was Dad's way of giving of himself to the Lord. Dad retired as a long distance truck driver in June of 1989. To my amazement, Dad then devoted even more time to the cleaning and the upkeep of his church. Thus, donating a lot more hours of labor to the church. Dad served as Sexton of the Boonton United Methodist Church till the Summer of 1992. His bout with prostate cancer, made it nearly impossible for him to carry on his duties as Church Sexton. In the Spring of 1987, Reverend Leon Weaver presented Dad with the well earned God and Country Award. This is an award given by both the United Methodist Church and the Boy Scouts of America. Dad

Reverend Leon Weaver presenting Dad with the God and Country Award, back in the Spring of 1987. served as Scoutmaster of Boy Scout Troop 170 for over 25 years. Dad truly earned this prestigious award. My memories of my Dad are very near and dear to my heart. I truly cherish them. Dad loved the Lord, he loved his family and

he loved people. He had an uncanny belief in young people. Dad firmly believed that it was better to teach a boy morals than to rehabilitate a wayward man. I loved my father very much.

Project Help’s Art Poster Contest Deadline Extended

W

hat? It’s March?? How can that be? Wasn’t it just Thanksgiving??? That’s the feedback Project Help has gotten from art teachers across the state. Many teachers and art students want to participate in the organization’s annual Art Poster Contest, but time got away from them over the holiday season. We don’t want to leave anyone out, so the deadline for the contest has been pushed forward to March 20. Here’s what you need to know... In 2019 the veteran’s aid group successfully launched its mobile closet, a repurposed school bus that brings clothing and other necessities to retired military individuals and families statewide.

Based on that milestone event Project Help has chosen its theme for the Third Annual Poster Contest. Art students are being asked to focus their creativity on the Project Help bus and how it will benefit veterans in need of assistance. Last year hundreds of school children from throughout New Jersey submitted their handiwork. This year thousands are expected to participate. All students - kindergarten through high school - are eligible to share their artistry and creativity. Art teachers already have the contest details in hand so all that is needed are some innovative ideas and the sky is the limit imagination! Individual teachers can also reach out to Project Help to sign up and young artists can participate inde-

Helix Dental Offering Oral Cancer Screening

Gan Ivrit Immersion School at Temple Beth Shalom to Open September 2020

T

emple Beth Shalom, Livingston, will begin its Gan Ivrit Immersion School in September 2020. This first-of-its-kind program in the Greater MetroWest area will provide an all-Hebrew language and culture immersion school for 2-, 3- and 4-year-olds. An open house for prospective families to learn more about Gan Ivrit is scheduled for Thursday, March 12. The evening will begin at 7:30 p.m. Gan Ivrit will offer a developmentally appropriate curriculum taught solely in Hebrew, by teachers who are native Hebrew speakers from Israel. The program will be based in its own special wing at Temple Beth Shalom which is being transformed into a beautiful environment reminiscent of Israel. “Starting Gan Ivrit at Temple Beth Shalom was a clear choice for us! Knowing that children learn languages best at a very young age and that Temple Beth Shalom is a prominent Jewish place of worship in Livingston which places importance on our connections to Israel and the Jewish people, a Hebrew Immersion approach makes total sense,” said Randi Cohen, TBS Preschool Director. “We are so excited to offer Gan Ivrit Immersion School alongside our popular Philip J. Solondz Preschool, sharing many of the same resources, program offerings, and facilities.” The program will focus on second language (Hebrew) acquisition. Current research shows that second language

acquisition for young children has the following benefits: • Stimulates a child’s curiosity, making children more receptive to learning in other areas. • Boosts cognitive development which helps overall academic progress. • Increases empathy toward others and receptiveness to different cultures and experiences, both essential for teamwork, school success and overall life satisfaction. • Presents learning challenges that help children stretch and grow. “Gan Ivrit will be taught by experienced, nurturing instructors who are native Hebrew speakers in order to create an authentic, immersive learning environment,” said Leah Beker, TBS Director of Education. “The age-appropriate curriculum will be fun and active and will incorporate technology, music, and art to capture learning through all senses.” A variety of program options are available for 2-, 3-, and 4-year-olds to maximize their learning and social growth and to best meet the needs of active families. For more information about Gan Ivrit and to schedule a tour, contact Randi Cohen, TBS Preschool Director, at rcohen@tbsnj.org or (973) 992-6546, or visit www.tbsnj. org/ganivrit. Temple Beth Shalom is located at 193 East Mount Pleasant Avenue, Livingston.

The Art and Beauty of Skating Still Brings the Excitement in Essex County at Codey Arena

W

By: Megan Roche est Orange’s Codey Arena is home to two NHL sized rinks, but aside from public skating sessions, figure skating and hockey practices, this arena is filled with much more than meets the eye. On March 1, Ice Dance International came to the West Orange area, showcasing award winning ice skaters and treated the public to one stellar performance. Ice Dance International, which is based in Maine, rolled in on the morning of March 1. As preparations were underway for In Flight: Live, a mix of world-premiere pieces and previous works, blending emotional and stirring performances set to familiar classical music and contemporary artists including Thom Yorke, Ben Kweller, Max Richter and Artie Shaw, excitement was buzzing around the arena. Ice Dance International, in its sixth year as a company, decided to tour after a ground-breaking 2019 performance that made it the first ice dance company invited to the Jacob’s Pillow Dance Festival site in Becket, Mass. They have also had two popular television specials in regular rotation on PBS stations nationwide bringing their artistry and athleticism to millions of viewers around the country.

Family Owned & Operated

Executive Artistic Director for Ice Dance International, Douglas Webster, has been an accomplished choreographer who’s work can be seen in stadiums and arenas across the country, shared that the cast and crew who make up In Flight: Live have been nothing but wonderful to work with. “You want to provide people with an opportunity to see beauty and to get out of the insanity that is happening in the world today. Our show allows people to take a moment to breathe and see some beauty. People sometimes watch our rehearsals and often cry. I hope that people really enjoyed our show and we’d love to hear from them with comments.” Webster said. The stellar cast included Grand Prix Final Champion, two-time Skate Canada Champion and two-time U.S. National Champion Alissa Czisny (from Detroit, Mich.); five-time U.S. National competitor and ISU Junior Grand Prix Competitor Kseniya Ponomaryova (Chicago, Ill.); U.S. Figure Skating Championships silver medalist, Junior World Competitor, and former Team USA Ice Dancer Collin Brubaker (Chicago, Ill.); and 2016 U.S. Open Grand Champion ice skater and award-winning choreographer Rohene Ward (b. Minnesota, now Chicago). continued on page 15

Additional IDI company members include Adam Kaplan (Providence, R.I.), Klabera Komini (Detroit, Mich.), Ian Lorello (Baltimore, Md.), Laura Seal (Baltimore, Md.), Lara Shelton (Wayland, Mass.) and Neill Shelton (Wayland, Mass.). The show, which was a massive hit, brought awareness that ice dance is still very much alive and well. That was just one of Webster’s hopes when he started this journey with Ice Dance International. “I don’t see ice dance in a competitive term, I see it as dancing on ice. I want Ice Dance International to grow as a company so that we’re able to have a spring and fall season. Ice dance is a very powerful experience, it’s extraordinary and it’s very personal to each audience member. To see that we do glide and flow, to see the artistry, people love to watch that. To bring world class ice dance to a major audience, that’s ice dance in my mind. It’s grace, it’s beauty, it’s flight.” Webster shared. West Orange has a special place in Ice Dance International’s heart. With some of their Board of Directors based out of the West Orange area, Webster and his team have created many routines at Codey Arena, held practices, and much more. March 1 was Ice Dance International’s second stop in West Orange after visiting in 2016 on their national tour. JoJo Starbuck, a two time Olympian, three-time United States pair skating champion and Ice Dance International Board Member, calls Codey Arena home. Starbuck teaches the sport she loves at the Essex Skating Club of New Jersey, also based out of Codey Arena. “The only place you can see elite figure skating these days is during a competition, where there are judges, and scores, and technical elements that many people don’t

always understand. Ice Dance International, they are not burdened with all the judging and all that scoring, there is music, a composer, a choreographer, that creates beautiful pieces. It’s like going to a ballet, but it’s on the ice. The top notch Olympic and world class skaters are there, but now they are just skating for the beauty and the exquisite sensibility of their art.” Starbuck said. Starbuck had quite the career in skating. When she started as a little girl, the Olympics were far from her mind. After taking a few recreation classes in skating, she was paired up at the age of seven with her partner for more than 40 years, Kenneth Shelley. “When I was growing up in Southern California, I was a real tomboy but also really theatrical. I was always making up little plays in my garage that I would make my neighbors come and the other neighborhood kids would be in it. I was producing these little plays, but I also couldn’t stop climbing things and I couldn’t go fast enough. My mom discovered the Downey School of Ice Skating and she bought me some secondhand skates and I would go there after school.” Starbuck said. Starbuck fell in love with skating quite fast. Skating gave her the ability to go fast and feel the wind in her face, but also at the same time, allowed her the ability to be theatrical. Skating started very innocently for Starbuck, finding the rink to become her second home over the years. “I didn’t even know what the Olympics were at that age, you don’t start out saying ‘I’m going to be an Olympian’, you just take one day as it comes and then I would see these ice shows, and I just knew I really wanted to be in one of those shows. That was my real motivation initially.” Starbuck continued on page 16

The Art and Beauty of Skating ... continued from page 15 said. In 1968 and 1972, Starbuck and Shelley competed together in the Winter Olympic Games in Grenoble, France and Sapporo, Japan respectively. While the two never medaled at the games, they placed third at the World Championships in 1971 and 1972, placed second in the North American Championships in 1969, and first in the North American Championships in 1971. In addition, Starbuck and Shelley placed numerous times at the U.S. Championships, earning first in 1967 (as juniors), 1970, 1971, 1972, earning second in 1969, and third in 1968. Starbuck can easily recall some of the best moments of her skating career. “Making the Olympic team was probably one of the highlights of my entire skating career. When Ken and I turned pro was also one of the best moments, although we longed to make the Olympic team, we always wanted to become professionals, and to be part of that, you have the brightest people in Hollywood producing you and doing your costumes, and setting you, and doing the production numbers, it’s all built around you. Being asked to skate with John Curry at the MET and on Broadway is also a wonderful memory.” Starbuck shared. After a majorly successful profession-

Conran’s Plaza Next to Home Depot

200 Rt. 10 West, East Hanover

973-503-1770

al career with Shelley, skating and touring with famed Olympic Champion and British Figure Skating star John Curry, Starbuck now teaches at Codey Arena and Rockefeller Center. Her love for skating still remains just as strong. She is grateful for all the life lessons that skating has taught her, and she hopes that her adult skating/fitness classes, JoJo’s Cool Workout, at Codey Arena and Rockefeller Center help others realize the benefits of skating. “Coaching is a natural evolution, because people see your work and they admire your work and they want a piece of that. One thing leads to another and it’s been an amazing journey. I love the little kids and the senior citizens; it’s been an incredible experience. Skating really does last a lifetime and it gives you so many life lessons.” Starbuck said. Public skating sessions are offered at Codey Arena on most days during the week and anyone interested in attending is asked to check the calendar on Codey Arena’s website at www.essexcountyparks.org. Codey Arena also offers a learn to skate program. For more information on Ice Dance International or to purchase Ice Dance International DVDs, visit www.icedanceinternational.org.

IMPLANT DENTISTRY Recently, a patient came to Dr. Chiu with a loose full denture in her upper jaw. It turned out she just had her teeth extracted last year and the new denture was put in. Since that loose upper denture was made, she had been unhappy with the situation. She inquired about the possibility of a fixed bridge supported by implants. After careful examination, Dr. Chiu decided she would need very extensive bone repair in her sinuses, done in stages to allow her to have implants placed. This could take two years, because she is already wearing a removable denture. It interferes with the normal bone repair process in the other areas of her upper jaw. That’s why planning ahead is crucial when it comes to a treatment of an implant-supported fixed bridge, especially before the teeth are extracted. Often times, a lot of the “prep” work is done while a couple of teeth remain in the mouth to hold up a fixed temporary appliance. This allows for a faster healing time and more optimal placement of implants to support a fixed bridge.

Come and visit Dr. Chiu, who has placed and restored implant-supported fixed and removable prosthesis for many years. Your comfort and convenience are always Dr. Chiu’s top priorities. To know more about these procedures, please call (973) 377-0224. We are always happy to answer any questions you may have.

Livingston Symphony Orchestra: Performing Classical Music Since 1956

By: Michele DiPasquale lassical music has stood the test of time, transcending all culture and age demographics - and the Livingston Symphony Orchestra, now in its sixty-third season proves that classical music is an art form that continues to flourish. The Livingston Symphony Orchestra, or, the LSO, has been serving fans of classical music since 1956 when a small ensemble of musicians performed for a town-sponsored production of Gilbert and Sullivan’s 1885 opera, The Mikado. Its great success was noted by the Recreation Department and many Livingston residents agreed that the town would appreciate its very own local classical music scene. The LSO eventually developed and expanded to become one of the most beloved regional symphonies in the New York-Metropolitan area, and today, Anthony LaGruth begins his fifth season as Music Director and Principal Conductor. The LSO's mission is to promote and support a community-targeted organization dedicated to achieving the highest aspirations of musical art, and to foster an inter-

est in and enjoyment of symphonic music by providing local concerts and educational programs in and around the Livingston area. As keepers of the classical music flame, The LSO is highly attentive to the expanding need to expose novice musicians and young children to classical music through its annual Young People’s Concert and Young Artists’ Competition. A non-profit organization, the Livingston Symphony Orchestra receives funding solely through the generosity of foundations, grants, and the public. The Livingston Board of Education has generously provided the rehearsal and concert space for the LSO since the group's inception. Members are classically trained, highly talented musicians who hail from all over the world and diverse cultures but who share the same common goal - to spread the joy of music to the local community. The core orchestra includes approximately fifty dedicated musicians who rehearse weekly during the orchestra season from September to early June at Livingston High School.

Livingston Symphony Orchestra... continued from page 18 and the Associate Concertmaster of the LSO, a member of its Board of Trustees and Liaison to the Orchestra and has been performing with the LSO since 1985. “Our 2019-2020 season is devoted to the celebration of the 250th birthday of Ludwig van Beethoven, one of the greatest composers of all time,” Tepper shared. “The LSO’s annual Free Family Concert will take place on Sunday, March 22, at 2:00 p.m. at the Livingston High School auditorium. Designated 'Mr. Beethoven's Neighborhood,' it appeals to children and people of all ages.” Complimentary desserts and other refreshments will be served after the concert, during which time the audience can meet and greet the members of the orchestra. On April 25th, The Classical Thunder concert will be held and includes works by Gershwin, Wagner, and

Tchaikovsky. The Season Finale, on June 13, will include a performance by the winner of the annual LSO Young Artist Concerto Competition and will conclude with the presentation of Beethoven's Symphony #9. With the exception of the Sunday, 2 p.m. Family Concert on March 22, all concerts of this season take place Saturday evenings at 7:30 p.m., at Livingston High School. The Livingston Symphony Orchestra has performed at such venues as St. Patrick's Cathedral in New York City; the Mayo Performing Arts Center in Morristown; the Sacred Heart Cathedral in Newark; and various public concert halls in the tri-state area. “We accompanied the Pope's Choir from the Vatican in their first US tour, under the baton of Monsignor Marco Frisina, director of the Pastoral Worship Center in Rome,” Tepper said.

“I have always had a deep love of music and am so grateful that I was afforded the opportunity to learn to play the violin and perform in orchestras and ensembles since I was a youngster. Through music, I have been able to mold a means of expression to reach others.” The orchestra performs major symphonies, concertos, and other compositions from all eras of music. During Pops concerts and special events, the orchestra and its ensembles present works of classic Broadway and movie themes, as well as contemporary music and rock arrangements. The orchestra and ensembles have performed for corporate and fundraising events and can customize programs for the needs of the performance. Volunteers are greatly needed to help in the operation of the orchestra and create fundraising events. Those

with skills in advertising, public relations, social media, website development, and anyone interested in helping out in any capacity are welcome to contact the LSO and join in the fun and perseverance of orchestral music. Currently, all performances take place at Livingston High School, but the LSO is available to concertize at other locations. For more information on the LSO, visit www.lsonj.org.

Smart Saving Strategies

oney management and building longterm financial health is a careful balancing act between long- and shortterm financial needs, and now is a perfect opportunity to re-examine your goals. People sometimes focus on short-term needs, making sure they can cover routine bills and living essentials. However, many Americans do not have the resources to cover an unexpected expense, much less save for the future. Data from the U.S. Financial Health Pulse shows that Americans are savings-constrained, over-indebted and underinsured. In fact, despite it being the longest period of economic expansion in modern times, 79% of Americans are not financially healthy, and many live paycheck to paycheck just to cover bills, rent and basic living expenses. As a result, 60% of households are unprepared for a financial shock, with 41% unable to cover an unexpected $400 expense without borrowing money or selling a personal item. This makes saving incredibly challenging, especially for many low-income households. “The data makes it quite clear that a significant segment of America is struggling to create a meaningful savings account, whether it’s intended as an emergency fund or a means of attaining a goal without incurring debt,” said Deborah Winshel, global head of social impact at BlackRock. Last year, the firm launched its Emergency Savings Initiative, a program designed to help people living on low incomes gain access to, and increase usage of, savings strategies and tools to help establish important safety nets. As with any financial matter, there’s no one “right” way to save. Individual circumstances require a customized approach to determine the best method to fit needs. In addition

to traditional saving methods, Common Cents Lab, Commonwealth and the Financial Health Network are working with financial institutions and other enterprises on an initiative to create new and experimental programs that address the challenges many consumers face when it comes to saving money. If you’re not sure where to start, consider these options and consult with your credit union, employer or financial institution to learn more about the options available to fit your unique lifestyle and savings goals. Automated Savings Often offered as an option through employer payroll, this approach allows you to designate a portion of your paycheck to be deposited in a savings account. Whether you choose to make it a flat amount or percentage of your income, it’s an easy method that allows you to consistently funnel money into savings with a one-time setup process. Round Up Some financial institutions offer programs in which every transaction you make on your account, or perhaps just those made using your debit card, are rounded up to the nearest whole dollar. The difference between that whole dollar amount and your actual purchase amount is then directed into your savings account. Prize-Linked Savings Marrying the fun of winning prizes and a savings ac-

count, this type of program incentivizes personal saving by offering an on-going, riskfree chance to win a prize, such as additional cash, by making savings account deposits. Promising both security and opportunity (and perhaps some fun), the amount deposited by the account holder is never at risk, unlike lotteries and games of chance. Windfall Moments When you receive a substantial amount of money from a source like a tax refund or a work bonus, it can be tempting to splurge on immediate needs or something fun, like a vacation. Allowing yourself to enjoy a portion of the money isn’t a bad idea, but you can also take advantage of the unplanned income as an opportunity to launch, or grow, your savings account. Collective Savings Accountability is a common barrier to better saving habits, but when others are counting on you to contribute your share, there’s a greater level of responsibility at play. A collective savings account may be a good solution for a shared goal like a trip, special project or funding a special event for a loved one.

Livingston Horse Farm Preserved, Saved from Development

T

he Land Conservancy is proud to announce the preservation of ten-acre Evergreen Miniature Horse Farm on Northfield Road, a deal nine years in the making. This meticulously manicured, picturesque farm boasts rolling hills, a stream, several barns, and a gazebo. As one of the last large par-

cels of land in Livingston, this property has been in the sights of developers for some time. It’s also been a target for preservation by The Land Conservancy, which has been working with the Township of Livingston to broker a deal with the longtime owners. So it was cause for celebration when Anthony and Viola

Licari decided to sell their farm to the town, which will protect the land as a public park and ensure its natural beauty remains available to residents and visitors in perpetuity. The Licari farm has been a notable landmark in Livingston for decades, even more so now that almost all of the land around it

has been built up for residential and commercial use. When the miniature horses and ponies weren’t traveling all over the country to shows and competitions, they could be seen gamboling in the fields next door to St. Barnabas Medical Center. While the horses have found new homes, the township plans to keep the well-maintained property largely intact and has formed a committee to determine future passive recreational uses for the space. Everyone seems happy with the outcome, including Livingston Mayor Rudy Fernandez. “This township is thrilled to have purchased the Licari Miniature Horse Farm, an iconic setting in our community. Leveraging our Open Space Trust, together with future reimbursement from New Jersey Green Acres, we were able to keep this pristine prop-

erty from being developed and ensure that it will remain in its natural state for the use and benefit of our residents forever. The mayor and council want to recognize and thank the many volunteers who serve, and have served, on the township’s Open Space Committee, whose foresight, hard work, and Contact: Kate Munning (973) 541-1010 x15 kmunning@tlc-nj.org dedication over many years has led to the preservation of this important natural resource. We would also like to express our appreciation to our Open Space consultant The Land Conservancy of New Jersey for their guidance, expertise, and commitment in making this long-sought purchase and preservation a reality. Finally, we would like to thank the Licari family for resisting pressure

from developers and allowing the Township to become the caretakers for this legacy property. The township council has formed a committee of residents and stakeholders to make recommendations on the future use and enjoyment of this property by our residents.” The Land Conservancy of New Jersey is a member-supported, non-profit, accredited land trust dedicated to preserving and protecting natural land and water resources throughout the State. Originally founded as an all-volunteer group in 1981, the organization has worked with 100 municipalities in 13 counties and continues to be recognized for meeting the highest standards for protecting open space, upholding the public trust, and ensuring that their conservation efforts are permanent.

Energy-Efficient Ideas to Upgrade Your Home

nergy bills are likely among the largest expenses for homeowners, but you can take action to lower those costs. During a remodel, a certified contractor can help you make smart decisions when it comes to selecting appliances, windows and insulation for your projects. Though upgrades made with efficiency in mind can vary depending on the climate you live in, the biggest energy users are typically the heating, ventilation and air-conditioning systems and water heater, all of which make up about 60% of a typical home’s energy budget. Learn how you can reduce your home’s energy reliance and environmental impact with these tips from the experts at the National Association of the Remodeling Industry: Heating and Cooling Climate control is one of the largest home energy users. A programmable thermostat is a simple starting point and can save up to one-third of heating and cooling costs. Cutting-edge models can even learn your family’s behaviors and tweak usage for maximum savings. Additional ways to save energy include sealing leaky ducts, cleaning or changing air filters regularly and replac-

ing your furnace or air conditioner with an energy-efficient model, particularly if your heating and cooling systems are more than 15 years old. Insulation Studies show that only 20% of homes built before 1980 were well-insulated. Depending on when your home was built, adding insulation in the attic and walls can be one of the fastest and most cost-effective ways to reduce energy waste. Not only does better insulation reduce energy loss and improve comfort, it’s an upgrade that generally adds to the value of your home with an estimated 95% return on your investment. Windows High-performance windows not only lower heating and cooling bills, they also reduce heat gain during warmer months and add a layer of insulation when you need to keep the heat inside. Triple-pane, Low-E insulated frame windows can save 33% of the heating cost for a typical home in cooler climates, and in hotter environments, double-pane, low solar-gain windows can reduce cooling costs by up to 32%. Lighting The average house dedicates 5-10% of its energy budget to lighting. To cut your use,

switch to LED lights, turn off unneeded lights and, where possible, use natural light. Other measures, like relying on task lights and installing motion detectors, can help further limit your lighting-related energy usage. Appliances The refrigerator is a major energy drain, accounting for up to 15% of the energy bill in some homes, particularly models that are 15 years old or older. Design plays a major role in a refrigerator’s efficiency; it needs adequate air flow for optimal function. Be realistic about your needs and only buy as big a unit as you require. Be aware that icemakers and dispensers not only add to the up-front

cost, they’re also less efficient. As with any appliance, shop for a model that offers as many energy-saving features as you can afford. Landscaping Trees positioned to reduce summer sun and winter wind can reduce a household’s energy use by 25% or more. In summer, trees can lower air temperature as much as 9 F through shading and evapotranspiration. In winter, a well-designed landscape can cut heating bills by about one-third.

Four (Tempting) Behaviors to Avoid When Saving for Retirement and the Secret to Real Retirement Savings Success

T

Provided by David M Rose o err is human, but you can sidestep some of the most common mistakes people make in saving for retirement by avoiding these four oh-so-tempting behaviors. Retirement savings mistake #1: procrastinating Even though you know you will get older and eventually retire, a little part of you still believes you might not. Nobel Prize-winning economist Richard Thaler, the founding father of behavioral economics, has spent much of his career exploring why so many Americans have difficulty saving for retirement. One thing he found is that people would rather enjoy what their money can do for them today rather than in the future. 1 Retirement savings mistake #2: being too loss averse We don’t like to lose money, so the notion of less money in our paycheck today to serve our needs in the future is a tough pill to swallow. The problem with loss aversion is that we keep delaying that uncomfortable feeling of a smaller paycheck. If you

delay too much, you lose out on the compounding effect. For example, if you decide to save $5,000 a year beginning at the age of 35, by the time you’re 65—assuming a 4.5% rate of return—you’ll have 43% less savings than if you had started saving at age 25. That adds up to $240,000.1 Retirement savings mistake #3: not practicing discipline When deciding how to invest, too often investors try to time the market rather than follow a disciplined investment approach. Trying to get in the market “at the right time” sounds smart, but in reality, it often leads to inaction, because that right moment never seems to come. The idea of timing the market only reinforces the first two mistakes (procrastination and being too loss averse). Here’s an example of a disciplined savings strategy: You could start by putting $5,000 away, and then add 5% each year. It might sound boring, but in the end, it will add up to much more than a “timed” strategy that never quite launches. Retirement savings mistake #4: tinkering with your portfolio too much

WE CAN SAVE YOU MONEY!

You want to take a more active role in your investments? That’s good, except if you have a tendency to overmanage. This often happens with retirees, who find themselves with more free time than ever before, and take a keen interest in chasing performance. In the research paper, “Trading is hazardous to your wealth,” authors Brad Barber and Terrance Odean found that, on average, households turned over 75% of their equity portfolios annually and underperformed by 1.5% each year.2 The biggest cause of this is mistiming when to buy and sell a particular fund. People are often driven by the desire to own more of that “hot” stock in rising markets when others are buying, or by “fear” in falling markets when others are selling. In a diversified portfolio, you’ll always be tempted to adjust the portfolio exposure in favor of the best-performing asset classes. The problem is, acting on that temptation may be costing you. So what’s the trick to saving for retirement? Actually, there is none. Start saving for retirement today, and stick with it. No gimmicks, no magic timing and no schemes that will “pay off big.” Just old-fashioned discipline. 1Modern Retirement Monthly, “Three common mistakes in retirement planning,” November 7, 2017 2The Journal of Finance, ”Trading is Hazardous to Your Wealth: The Common Stock Investment Performance of Individual Investors,” April 2000.

5 Tips for Traveling by Air with Children

pring, for some families, means packing bags and heading to the airport for a getaway. However, flying with young children can be stressful. “New experiences can be exciting for some children, but they can also be frightening, especially if it’s your child’s first time flying,” said Linda Nelson, a program developer on KinderCare’s education team. “Talking about what will happen can help your family manage expectations and focus on the fun of travel.” Consider these ideas to help make family airplane travel an enjoyable adventure for everyone. Schedule Flights Smartly If you have the ability, pick a flight that works with your child’s current eating and sleeping schedules. Aim for a flight that occurs between mealtimes, and try to fly during normal naptime. Be Ready for Jet Lag If you’re going to cross time zones, plan ahead to combat jet lag. Two weeks before traveling, start making small adjustments to your family’s schedule by moving bedtime 20 minutes toward the time zone you’ll be traveling. Wait a few days then adjust your schedule again. When you get to your destination, try to stick to your child’s regular schedule by taking naps and going to bed as close to his or her normal times as possible. Pack the Essentials At the airport, you’ll want to move nimbly and handsfree, so opt for a backpack as your carry-on. Pack a change of clothes for each member of the family, diaper wipes, tissues, lotion and lip balm. If your child uses a pacifier, attach

it to your child’s clothing using a clip. It can help soothe the pressure in his or her ears during takeoff and landing. Also consider packing books, crayons, markers, pencils, paper, activity books and age-appropriate toys to keep your child occupied. Remember the Snacks Low blood sugar can turn even the sweetest kids into champion tantrum throwers, so be sure to bring along plenty of healthy snacks in case delays disrupt regular mealtimes. Consider options like homemade granola or protein bars, fresh fruits and veggies, sandwiches or almond-butter pouches. If your flight is long, try to pack snacks that won’t create lots of crumbs you’ll have to live with until you arrive at your destination. Also remember a spill-proof cup or water bottle you can fill before boarding. Mind the Rules Transportation Security Administration (TSA) agents are there to help passengers, but there are also rules that must be followed. Consider these airport regulations before traveling: Medically necessary liquids like baby formula, baby food, juice and breast milk are not subject to the 3.4-ounce limit. Children under the age of 12 are not required to remove their shoes during screening. If you’re flying within the United States, children under the age of 18 traveling with an adult usually don’t need more identification than a boarding pass. However, some airlines may ask for a birth certificate for lap infants. Call ahead of time to see which documents you need.

Your child will need a passport if flying internationally. Child passports must be renewed every five years until the age of 16. If your child is traveling internationally with only one parent, you may need to bring a notarized letter of consent from the child’s other parent or legal guardian.
