Romance Writers Meet Their Fans At Local Brewery

by Jane Primerano ersey Girl Brewery proved beer tasting goes very well with romance novels on Sat., Nov. 5.

A group of writers from Romance Writers of New Jersey gathered at the Mt. Olive brewery to taste beer and talk to their fans.

The event was the brainchild of RWNJ President and Mt. Olive resident Roni Denholtz, who had attended a

similar event organized by Roz Lee of Columbia. Lee set up a wine tasting with romance writers at Brook Hollow Winery in Knowlton Township. Denholtz attended and “on the way home I started thinking, where could I hold a similar event. Then I remembered Jersey Girl.”

Denholtz has lived in Mt. Olive for more than 30 years.

She taught for years at the township’s adult school and has seen some of her writing students get published. With seven romance novels published, she is in the process of revising two more.

“I started revising one before the other was finished,” she said.

Lee writes both mainstream and what she calls “kinky” books. ‘Roz Lee’ is her nom de plume for those. The more mainstream stories are published under her real name, Dolores W. Maroney.

“I used to read romances as a stay-at-home mom,” she says. “My girls teased me that I read so many I could write my own. But they didn’t think I could. I took it as a chalcontinued on page 2

Romance Writers Meet Their Fans... continued from front page lenge. After 25 books they don’t tease me anymore.”

Another local writer is Maryann McFadden of Hackettstown.

McFadden has published three romances, the first of which was her masters’ thesis in an MFA program. She self-published that book, then got a contract from a publisher.

Her next book is a fictionalization of the Tillie Smith murder at what was then Centenary Collegiate Institute in 1886, “Finding Tillie.” She is using the premise of a modern-day heroine looking into the past. “Her journey becomes an obsession,” she said of her heroine.

McFadden has to please two audiences with the Tillie book: locals who want every detail of the murder retold and non-locals who may feel bogged down. She is putting some details not in the book on her website, she said.

She decided to write this book because “Tillie was a footnote in her own story,” McFadden said. Other studies of the murder concentrated on the crime, or the accused murderer, Jim Titus. Ironically, in her other career, as a real estate agent, she sold Titus’s Hackettstown house.

M. Kate Quinn of Marlboro says she has written all her life and full-time for 10 years. She entered a Writer’s Digest magazine short story contest and won, “so I thought I should take my writing more seriously.”

Jean Joachim explained after her children left for college, “characters I had been thinking about stayed in my kitchen and said, ‘you WILL write our story’.” The other authors agreed they also have characters who won’t leave them alone.

She said writing romances is “a happy way to spend time.”

“I like bringing people to happily ever after,” Joachim said.

Joachim belongs to New York Romance Writers in the city, but she said it is not as active as the NJ or Long Island chapters. She writes the Manhattan Dinner Club series as well as series about baseball and football players.

Themed books and series sell well, all of the writers insisted.

Miriam Allenson combines baseball and opera in her newest book. “I was a closet writer for years,” she said.

G. E. Taylor of Sparta is representative of many romance writers. She started reading them as a teenager and “was always inspired to write one.”

Ruth Casie started reading them when she traveled for work. She found them compact and easy to carry and equally easy to leave behind.

During a slow time in the afternoon, five of the writers sat around a table among their books and small bowls of leftover Halloween candy and discussed the art of crafting

romance novels.

They said most sales are in Middle America, where what East Coast readers call “beach reads” are known as “summer reads.” Shirley Hallstock said the other three states that have many romance readers are California, Texas and Maine.

They compared marketing techniques. Hallstock said she bought a few Kindles on a good sale and used them as promotional gifts. Smaller promotional items, such as pens, refrigerator magnets, little footballs to squeeze for relaxation, one of the most popular is Nancy Herkness’ pen that doubles as a back scratcher.

All of the women credited the romance writers groups as invaluable. They get tips from more experienced writers on agents, publishers, marketing and other issues. Hallstiock pointed out many new writers don’t realize how responsible they must be for their own marketing.

Casie did marketing for JP Morgan Chase. Hallstock worked for Johnson & Johnson. Several of the authors, including McFadden and Hallbeck, wrote for newspapers or took other writing assignments before launching their careers as authors.

They also agreed the beer tasting/book signing was a great combination and look forward to more similar events.

Local Councilman Takes Pride In Automotive Business And Giving Back To Community

A

By Cheryl Conway t DTA Automotive in Budd Lake, customers can expect satisfaction, personal service and the “right way” to fix all of their vehicle’s imperfections.

Budd Lake resident Alex Roman, owner of DTA Automotive, takes great pride in his company, the customers he serves as well as the town in which he works and lives. The full service automotive repair shop has been in existence since 1990, with Roman as owner since 2002.

He kept the name DTA as it stands for the original owners’ names, Demetrius, Trent and Anthony.

“I made a conscious decision to keep the name because of its good reputation,” says Roman.

At DTA Automotive, Roman provides full service auto repair to mostly BMW, Volkswagen and Audi vehicles, as well as some foreign cars, domestic and Japanese imports.

He stuck with mostly European cars because of the challenge they bring.

“As technology and cars

are getting more complicated, I needed to take a concentration,” says Roman, “so I chose European’s more technologically challenging” vehicles.

As an owner of his first BMW 12 years ago, Roman says “I wanted to make sure I knew the car” from “top to noise, top to bottom, inside and out.” He is on his fifth or sixth BMW now, he adds.

“I love the way they drive,” says Roman. “The firmness, the handling, they handle beautifully.”

With his degree in mechanical engineering from Rutgers University in New Brunswick, Roman has a handle on the major concepts utilized when dealing with vehicles, concepts such as physics, thermal dynamics, fluid dynamics and electrical current flow.

While his original plan was to work in mechanical engineering, his first internship deterred him from following in that path.

“I didn’t like sitting behind a computer and designing,” says Roman. At the age of 20, “I looked around thinking this is go-

ing to be my life sitting behind a computer?”

Roman’s passion for repairing cars was with him all along, he says.

“I went into automotive repair by accident to pay for my schooling during the summer,” explains Roman.

“I liked taking cars apart and putting them together.”

When faced with a problem car, Roman says “I enjoy the challenge. I enjoy the satisfaction and resolving the problem. It’s ultimately rewarding to resolve people’s problems.”

As owner, Roman says he is “hands on” 30 percent of the time. “I diagnose the car. I assess the customer’s complaint,” by taking it for a ride and diagnosing what’s wrong. He then directs his mechanics on what needs to be done.

“I oversee and diagnose rather than put on the brakes,” he says.

At DTA Automotive, customers will receive repairs by the latest technology.

“In today’s shop, you have to have technology,” says Roman. “I try to keep up with the latest technolo-

gy.” He recently purchased a $15,000 computer scan tool and also invested in a new thermal imaging camera. “I call it my newest toy.”

As far as specials, Roman steers away from them.

“Those are marketing gimmicks,” he says, as a way to get customers in the door. “No one is getting rich doing oil changes,” he says.

“It’s a way of upselling something else. Fixing cars is expensive. There’s the cheap way then there’s the right way.”

He also appreciates the “good amount” of competition.

“Competition is good for everybody,” he says. “It continued on next page

I do everything possible; I fight tooth and nail to make them satisfied and give them value for their money.”

Roman takes pride in keeping his customers happy. He says his average retention rate is 97 percent,

meaning most of his customers do come back for future service. About 80 percent of his customers are local, and the remaining 20 percent travel to his shop for service.

“We offer a warranty on all work we do,” he adds, and tries to provide same day service. For delays in service, Roman does offer rental reimbursement.

What I can provide is “that personal service,” says Roman. Most have my cell number; they can call me if they’re broken down on the side of the road. I can answer their questions and I can make sure they can safely get home.”

As a businessman in town, Roman also strongly believes in giving back. He sponsors several recreation

MO Students Perform At Highest Level In District’s History

t. Olive School District is in the top 13 percent of the best New Jersey school systems, according to rankings recently released by SchoolDiggger. The website, which annually evaluates U.S. schools using scores on standardized state exams, ranks Mt. Olive 81 of the 609 districts in the state and in the top 10 districts in Morris County. The SchoolDigger ranking confirms district data that shows that student achievement levels in 2016 were the highest in school district history.

All Mt. Olive schools were ranked in the top 25 percent or higher, an indication of exceptional student performance last spring on PARCC exams – the standardized tests in language arts and math that are the foundation for the SchoolDigger rankings. Particularly notable were the test scores at Tinc Road Elementary School, which led to its ranking in the top four percent of all NJ elementary schools.

Mt. Olive High School scored among the top 10 percent statewide for the first time in its history. That performance is

Local Dental Charity Support Brings Out More Smiles

While collecting for food pantries is usually he most common cause supported, Cohen and Schwartz Dental commits itself o helping out the local animal shelter. “We want to make sure that all the homeless animals at the 11th hour rescue have a wonderful thanksgiving,” a dental associate spokesperson commented.

Underway since Nov. 21st, and will continuing through Dec. 21, right the drive begins- to help the homeless with the Market Street Mission clothing drive.

These items are either directly given to people in need or sold in their thrift shop with proceeds that support meals and shelter for homeless and people in need.

even more impressive considering that regional vocational/technical schools and charter schools were included in the rankings. In August, MOHS was honored by “Newsweek” as one of America’s top high schools; it was also recognized as a top high school by “U.S. News & World Report” in 2015.

“Our students, faculty, and staff deserve hearty congratulations,” said Dr. Larrie Reynolds, superintendent of schools. “The

Board of Education also played a crucial leadership role in this achievement by establishing to all that we stand for excellence. They worked together with district administrators to craft policies, programs, and procedures that ensure that our kids are getting the best education they can. Congratulations to all.”

Dentist Offers Treatment Options For Lost Teeth

entures are an affordable solution for missing teeth. However, they have their problems: they move around in the mouth, can be uncomfortable, cause sores, require adhesives and become embarrassing if they fall out in public. Worse than that, they can cause bone loss putting your jaw at risk as a person ages.

Some people don’t wear dentures, but have similar problems: constant pain, gum disease, an endless cycle of cavities, root canals, crowns, and extractions. As teeth are lost, other teeth shift, creating issues with chewing and smiling. Self-esteem decreases, as well as overall health.

Thankfully, dental implants can provide a solution. Improvements with comfort, stability, chewing, self-esteem, and overall health are all reported by people soon after implant treatment is completed.

Treatment options regarding implants can vary greatly: two to six implants can be placed to stabilize a denture, individual implants can be placed to replace missing

teeth, or four to six implants can be utilized to provide permanent teeth. This last option is called All-On-Four.

In the All-On-Four option, any remaining teeth are removed, four to six implants are placed, and teeth are attached to the implants. These three steps are typically performed in one appointment, so the patient is able to leave the dental office with teeth the same day. It should be noted that these are temporary teeth: the final teeth will be fabricated approximately four to six months later.

All-On-Four has revolutionized implant dentistry. Although more expensive than dentures, it is less expensive than traditional full-mouth implant reconstruction.

Costly and time-consuming grafting can oftentimes be avoided, too. Furthermore, pain levels are significantly decreased.

People sometimes think they are not implant candidates because of their age. This is a misconception. In fact, as a person ages, it becomes more important to be able to eat so that proper nutritional needs are

met. Dentures do not provide proper biting force to chew food, plus they weaken the jaw. Implants improve chewing ability, and strengthen the jaw as compared to dentures. A person’s health is a key factor when considering implants, not age.

Who should perform dental implant procedures? Only well-qualified dentists.

Seek out dentists who have extensive training in implant dentistry.

Dr. Ira Goldberg is a general dentist performing implant procedures for 22 years.

O

He is a diplomate of the American Board of Oral Implantology / Implant Dentistry, a diplomate of the International Congress of Oral Implantologists, and a fellow of the American Academy of Implant Dentistry.

He performs all phases of implant dentistry at his office in Succasunna. and lectures to dentists in the field of implantology. For a free consultation, including a free 3-D scan, if necessary, call 973- 328-1225 or visit www.MorrisCountyDentist.com.

Candlelight Gathering Remembers Children Who Have Been Lost

By Elsie Walker n Dec. 11, a virtual 24 hour wave of candlelight will go around the globe as people in different time zones, remember children they have lost. Locally, a candlelight ceremony is being held at the United Presbyterian Church, Flanders, at 7 p.m.

The worldwide candle lighting comes near a time many associate with children: Christmas. It gives those who grieve a chance to get together, know that they are not alone, and share in a special time of remembrance.

The worldwide candle lighting is a program of Compassionate Friends, an organization which helps those

grieving the loss of a child, be it a parent, sibling or grandparent.

“We got involved several years ago when a family new to our church tragically lost their teenage son through a tragic accident,” said Rev. Rick Oppelt, pastor of the church. “I believe I found Compassionate Friends in the process of googling resources to help this family. We have been holding these annual services ever since.”

The Compassionate Friends is an organization founded more than 40 years ago. It was started when a pastor in England brought together two sets of grieving parents as he realized their understanding of each other’s situation was the best type of support to be offered. The organization has grown to have chapters around the world with 660 chapters across the United States. These chapters meet to offer support to those grieving the loss of a child. The organization’s website with chapter information is found at https://www.compassionatefriends.org Oppelt noted that the yearly candle lighting is important as there are not many avenues available for grieving parents to come together and memorialize their lost children in such a way. Also, at this service, they can be together in a warm, caring environment, with others who understand

their pain. However, while the service is aimed at parents who have lost a child at any age, often other family members attend as well.

The pastor also noted that the candlelight gathering is open to all faiths and those with none.

“It’s simple,” said Oppelt in describing the gathering.

“As they sign in, everyone is given a memorial candle.

During the ceremony, each family may come forward, light a candle, say their loved one’s name and if they wish, something brief about them. There are a couple of readings during the service and refreshments afterwards. While we hold our service in our sanctuary, it is not a formally religious ceremony, no prayers, no hymns. It is designed to be open to all faiths - or none.”

Oppelt shared that the church is humbled to be able to offer this candle lighting to help those who have lost a child.

“We believe it is important enough to continue these services no matter who attends. We have those who have come year after year, and always a few newcomers who have heard about it.”

For more information about the candlelight ceremony, contact the church at 973-584-8195.

Local CASA Pledges To Raise Funds For Foster Care Children

C

ourt Appointed Special Advocates (CASA) of Morris and Sussex Counties has joined the #GivingTuesday movement, a global day of giving that harnesses the collective power of individuals, communities, and organizations to encourage philanthropy and to celebrate generosity worldwide.

In preparing to celebrate its 30th Anniversary year, CASA of Morris and Sussex Counties is looking to support 30 new children entering foster care.

Occurring this year on Nov. 29, #GivingTuesday is held annually in the United States on the Tuesday after Thanksgiving and the widely recognized shopping events Black Friday and Cyber Monday. This special day is designated to kick-off the holiday-giving-season and to inspire people to collaborate in improving their local

communities and to give back in impactful ways to the charities and causes they support.

The goal is to be able to assign 30 new children, entering the system this coming year, to a CASA volunteer. With an average cost of $1,800 per child for one year, $54,000 is needed to provide this support.

“As our country comes together and moves forward into a new year we must all remember vulnerable children in our community who need advocates,”said Lisa Barsky Firkser, executive director of CASA. “These children will be the next generation of leaders.”

Those who are interested in joining CASA of Morris and Sussex Counties’ #GivingTuesday initiative can visit http:// bit.ly/Support30Children.

ber of Commerce and the Kiwanis Club of Mount Olive, are teaming up to spearhead this year’s Mt. Olive Area Fall Food Drive.

“A lot of people are having a real tough time,” said Morse. “There are a lot of single moms, seniors, and others who simply can’t afford to put enough food on their table.”

Many families continue to struggle and the food drive clearly helps. The 21st Annual Food Drive aims to respond to the need.

Thousands of pounds of food have been collected over the years, as well as monetary and gift card donations.

“Every little bit helps,” said the Chamber’s Greg Stewart, a Mt. Olive Township councilman. “Thankfully we have a number of corporate and small business partners that do their part to help.”

Indeed, the amount of food collected through this drive has steadily increased over the past several years due to a higher demand and the generosity of people who care. In 2005, when demand was not as

high, the organization collected only 820 pounds.

The Annual Fall Food Drive was initiated many years ago by Dr. John Berezny of Berezny Chiropractic in Flanders. Today, it has become one of the community’s most important activities.

Suggested food donations may include non-perishable foods, boxed cereals, peanut butter, jam, and other canned goods.

Personal care items are also welcome. The food drive takes place through November, with the donations being given directly to the Mt. Olive Food Pantry. Morse would also like to remind folks that the need for food is year-round and that donations are accepted anytime of the year.

Monetary donations can also be made online at yougivegoods.com/mountolivepantry. Any checks dropped off should be made out to Mt. Olive Pantry. For additional information contact Morse at 862-2513938 or 201-274-3701; or email mountolivepantrynj@gmail.com.

Is Your Charity Effective?

onors give to charity throughout the year, but the charity watchdog group Charity Navigator reports that around 40 percent of donors make their annual contributions between Thanksgiving and New Year’s Day. No matter when one gives, the decision to support a charity should never be made lightly. Some people choose to donate to charities that focus on causes that resonate with them. Emotional feelings can drive donation decisions, but it’s important to do some research into the charitable organization to determine how efficiently the charity operates and how effective the organization ultimately is at fulfilling its mission. Look at how much of your money actually goes toward the cause you are supporting, paying attention to how the organization allocates donations.

The majority of donation dollars should go to the cause and not toward organizational overhead. Here are some questions to ask before selecting a charity.

• Does the charity address the most serious problems in the most cost-effective ways?

• How much money is devoted to overhead versus program outreach?

• Are the charity’s interventions really working?

• Will this charity help the greatest number of people with your donation?

• Is the organization honest and transparent?

Individuals can make use of resources made available by the Better Business Bureau, Charity Navigator and GiveWell to see if charities meet their criteria.

The staff at The Mt. Olive News would like to wish everyone a Safe & Happy Thanksgiving! will move up a league again and look to cherish the challenge. “They are such a determined and hardworking group of boys and deserve every bit of success,” says Brett Molloy, Mt. Olive Soccer Club ATSC Professional coach. “They are developing with every passing season and long may it continue!”

Iconic Morris County Dining Spot, The Black Horse Tavern, Reopens With A New Look And Flavor

elebrating more than 270 years in business, The Black Horse Tavern, the oldest restaurant in New Jersey, located in the heart of Mendham, recently reopened its doors following a month-long décor refresh and enhancements to its contemporary farm-to-table American menu.

Originally a stage coach house in the mid1700s, The Black Horse Tavern will, as it always has, embrace the traditions of fine dining by providing exceptional hospitality in a historic setting while using local produce and products from purveyors throughout the tristate area and even its own garden.

wner John Lloyd started cutting hair when he was 14 years old, cutting my brother and friends hairs. As I got my first job in a shop in Dover in 2003 thru 2011, I learned alot from a great barber and I was mentored by the owner himself. In 2011 as I took a new job at DPW, I continued cutting hair after work. I had setup shop in my garage. I couldn’t just put my clippers down, Fresh Cutz was my passion indeed.

I would like to introducing my staff to you...

Lions And Hyenas Joining Turtle Back Zoo Family

ssex County Executive Joseph N. DiVincenzo, Jr. outlined plans to develop the Ronald J. Mount Lion and Hyena Exhibit at Essex County Turtle Back Zoo in West Orange on Wed., Oct. 26. The exhibit is named after the late Ronald J. Mount, who was a major supporter of the zoo and a member of the Zoological Society of New Jersey and the Volunteer Docent organization.

Other additions announced include a new Condor Exhibit, enhancements to the Cattle Exhibit, new fencing at the Essex Farm Petting Zoo and shade structures at the Sea Lion Sound Exhibit, amphitheater and Dinosaur Playground.

“We are very excited about bringing lions and hyenas to Turtle Back Zoo because they are the animals that people most identify with the African Savanna,” said DiVincenzo. “In addition, a lion is the central figure on our Essex County Seal, so we are pleased about bringing the real life version of our iconic seal here. We are always looking for new ways to attract new visitors and enhance their experience. Bringing new animal exhibits, upgrading exhibits to improve viewing areas for the public and introducing amenities create new things for people see and learn about and makes their visits more enjoyable.”

Mount’s son, Ian Mount, said, “The exhibit is going to be an amazing addition to Turtle Back Zoo. I thank the County Executive and the Freeholders for the deep respect

Paintpourri 324 Mountain Ave Hackettstown, NJ

you’ve shown my father and my family. When I think of Lions, I think about pride, and that reminds me of my father. I’m proud of him when I think of all the lives he has touched.”

The lion and hyena exhibit will be located in the African Adventure Exhibit adjacent to the Giraffe House. The half-acre exhibit will be heavily landscaped and have a two-foot pool and exposed rock formation. There will be three viewing stations for the public. Inside the exhibit near one of the viewing stations will be a heated stone patio to attract the lions so they can be easily seen by the public. At the rear of the exhibit will be a heated one-story building that is designed to resemble a North African fortress that has been returned to the wild.

“This is the busiest attraction in New Jersey,” Sheriff Armando Fontoura said. “We are pleased to partner with the County Executive and the Freeholders to make it the safest in the state,” he added.

“I have always had a great deal of respect for Ronald Mount because he gave so much back and the zoo was one of his pet projects,” Assemblyman Thomas Giblin said.

“The addition of the Lion Exhibit really completes the zoo the way it should be.”

Several other projects were being undertaken to create new or enhance existing animal exhibits, provide amenities to make visitors’ experiences more enjoyable and to mod-

ernize fencing.

A new Condor Exhibit is being constructed next to the Penguin Coast Exhibit. It will take the place of an older exhibit that was damaged several years ago after a storm.

Construction started earlier in October is scheduled to be completed by the spring of 2017.

The viewing areas at the Scottish Highland Cattle and Wolf Woods exhibits are being improved to provide the public with better opportunities to see the animals. At the Scottish Highland Cattle Exhibit, a new covered viewing area for the public is being constructed. The improvements include creating a patio area for the public to gather in front of the exhibit. Instead of looking through a fence into the exhibit, glass walls will be erected. A lattice covering will provide shade over the viewing area.

Shade structures are being installed over the Sea Lion Sound pool, the amphitheater and the children’s Dinosaur Playground. The shade structure over the Sea Lion exhibit will help regulate the water quality in the pool and, by keeping the water from direct sunlight, will help suppress the growth of algae in the water. The structure over the playground will keep the apparatus out of direct sunlight and prevent the climbing structures from getting too hot.

The amphitheater structure will provide shade for people attending educational or entertainment programs.

New perimeter fencing is also being installed at the Zoo.

t has only been four years since Rutherfurd Hall began its trip out of obscurity and now has achieved National and State Historical Recognition.

As volunteers have worked within the building, there has been a consistent effort to restore the surrounding grounds to prominence.

Occupied in 1905 by the Rutherfurd family, as a summer home, the building had heating and lighting since day one. Every human comfort was available.

The Allamuchy School Board purchased the building from the Sisters of Devine Charity, along with a newer adja-

cent structure for use as a school.

There is much to know about this historic structure and tours are available.

The building was designed by architects Warren and Wetmore, famous for Grand Central Station, and the grounds by the Olmsted Brothers, famous for landscaping Central Park.

From the very beginning of the four years, members of the community have used paint brushes, shovels power saws and grit and determination to renovate the structure, while scheduling many events to raise funds for the renovation of The Grand Lady.

Local Women Award Impact Grants To Support Inner City School Children, Aged-Out Foster Youth And Seniors

ector, son of a single mom, has been bullied at school and struggled socially. But he has a passion for the viola and now has what he calls his “viola family.” Melissa has a long history of physical and sexual abuse by her biological family and spent many years in the foster care system. Now 22, she is now working full time and has gone back to school. Fully 34 percent of seniors in Morris County face constant food insecurity. Many do not drive and live in locations not served by food pantries.

They will soon have a mobile food pantry that brings nutritious food to where they live.

These were just three of the stories Impact 100 Garden State members heard as more than 200 of them gathered at the Olde Mill Inn on Nov. 2 to select their three 2016 grant recipients. Anticipation was palpable as seven finalists took turns at the podium to describe their mission.

Wharton Institute for the Performing Arts received a $44,000 grant for The Paterson Music Project, an out-ofschool program for children of diverse backgrounds, that uses music to empower children through the communal experience of ensemble learning and performance. The Impact 100 grant will fund free weekly programming that will include additional opportunities, such as a city-wide

Fully Insured Free Estimates

orchestra for students like Hector and an intergenerational choir for students as well as their families, teachers, and other members of the community.

Executive Director Emily La Iacona fought back her tears as Roots & Wings, based in Denville but serving aged out foster youth throughout our counties, was awarded a $100,000 grant. Aged-out foster youth are among the most underserved, disconnected and statistically vulnerable segment of our society. “We are on cloud nine,” La Iacona said. “This grant will allow us to double the capacity of our outreach program providing hope and possibilities to these youth who would otherwise have nowhere else to turn.”

The Interfaith Food Pantry, located in Morris Plains, also received a $100,000 grant. Clients of the Food Pantry are the working poor, senior citizens on fixed incomes, single parents, the disabled, the unemployed, the homebound and others in crisis. Impact 100 funds will set up a Healthy Choice Mobile Pantry Program, providing not only for the purchase of a refrigerated vehicle but also for a supply of fresh foods and outreach to existing food providers.

Rosemary Gilmartin, executive director, said, “As the escalating rents have driven people further from local food

pantries, we need a Mobile Pantry to bring food to these residents where they live.” Citing the fact that 34 percent of seniors in Morris County are below the self sufficiency index and have no good means of transportation, she noted, “We plan to bring services to where the need is rather than expecting everyone to come to us.”

An additional highlight of the evening was the keynote speaker, Wendy Steele, who created the first Impact 100 in Cincinnati in 2001. Impact 100 Garden State follows that model and there are now 39 other Impact 100s globally.

By the end of 2015, Impact 100 women had funded more than $33 million in high-impact transformational grants in their local communities and they are on track to significantly increase those amounts in 2016.

Impact 100 (http://impact100gardenstate.org) is a unique organization of women dedicated to improving the lives of NJ residents by supporting nonprofit organizations that serve Morris, Passaic, Somerset, and Sussex counties.

Each member contributes $1,000 toward membership and the entire amount funds grants for nonprofit programs that will transform their communities. Since its first giving year, in 2012, Impact 100 members have contributed $769,000, offering at least one $100,000 grant each year.

eirdre’s House in Morristown, the child advocacy center for Morris County, has recently been awarded a $10,000 grant from the Ed Block Courage Foundation, through the foundation’s ties to the National Football League and the Florham Park-based New York Jets.

It was attended by members of the Jets, the Foundation, Deirdre’s House, Morris County Prosecutor Fredric M. Knapp, and members of the Morris County Prosecutor’s Office Sex Crimes/Child Endangerment Unit.

The money will be used for the Deirdre’s House advocacy and outreach programs and the clinical counseling program.

“The Jets organization has been a long-standing partner of Deirdre’s House,” said Maria Savettiere, executive director of Deirdre’s House. By designating Deirdre’s House as the Jets’ official Ed Block Courage Award Foundation House, the Jets have

Morris County’s Child Advocacy Center Gets $10,000 Donation With Help Of NY Jets

strengthened their commitment to help Deirdre’s House continue to provide vital services to child victims of abuse and neglect.”

The Ed Block Courage Award Foundation (www. edblock.org) is dedicated to supporting the well-being of abused, neglected and at-risk children through its Courage House National Support Network for Kids.

Through a partnership with the NFL, the foundation cultivates awareness at each designated Courage House and helps to raise funds for their programs and initiatives.

The goal, according to the organization, is to break the cycle of abuse and neglect and to lay the foundation for generations of safe and nurturing families.

Deirdre’s House commemorated its 20th anniversary earlier this year as a safe haven in Morris County for youngest victims of sexual and physical abuse.

The event was attended by the family of the late Freeholder Jim O’Brien and his wife Georgia, who were

instrumental in creating the center.

After the 1982 murder of their 25-year-old daughter, Deirdre O’Brien, the Mendham Township couple devoted themselves to the plight of crime victims, and brought special attention to the need for the protection of Morris County’s youngest victims with the 1996 opening of Deirdre’s House, across from the

Morris County Courthouse in Morristown.

Since 1996, Deirdre’s

House has provided services to more than 26,000 children. For ore on Deir-

dre’s House, visit: http:// www.deirdreshouse.org/.

Merry Made Easy - Simple Tips For Holiday Entertaining

he holidays are the time of year when families and friends come together, and when special moments and memories are plentiful. This year, instead of just letting the holidays happen, make them happen by embracing the season.

No matter how or where you celebrate, sometimes you need a little inspiration to pull it all together, especially when entertaining. Chef, restaurateur and co-host of ABC’s “The Chew,” Carla Hall offers these tips to help you savor every joyous, frenzied moment.

Simply smarter shopping: Having an open mind at the grocery store often means having better options in the kitchen. When shopping for a recipe, look for the best ingredients, like seasonal produce, even if it’s not called for in the original dish. At stores such as ALDI, you’ll find hand-selected holiday items that won’t break the bank and can make your celebrations special and memorable. From premium, affordable ingredients to cookware you’ll need to perfect those show-stopping recipes, you can find ev-

erything you need at ALDI to make the holidays happen without busting your budget.

Flour power: When cooking with flour, try whisking the flour in the bag before measuring. When you loosen the flour, you get a more accurate measurement, which can lead to better tasting food.

Cook now, enjoy again and then again: You can also stay ahead of the game by cooking more than you need.

For example, if your recipe calls for stock or fortified broth, increase the amount and save for later. It’ll come in handy when you need to make the gravy. If preparing a vegetable side dish, use your leftovers to create a delicious omelet or strata.

Make ’em sing for their supper: The centerpiece of any home is the kitchen. It’s where everyone comes together to make holidays happen, so try including the whole family in the process. Give family members some fun and easy tasks to help you out. They can help scrub and peel vegetables, set the table and be your special taste testers. It’s continued on next page

Bake A Batch Of Bars For Dessert

ish in under an hour, most of the ingredients are probably already in your kitchen.

Plus, they can be made a couple of days in advance and refrigerated until serving time.

The family can enjoy them for a yummy weeknight dessert or make them company-perfect topped with a dollop of whipped cream or a scoop of vanilla ice cream, sprinkled lightly with pumpkin pie spice.

ith baking season here, it’s time to turn on the oven, bring out the recipes and enjoy the spicy aromas wafting from the kitchen - a promise of delicious treats ahead.

Bars, whether they are cookie, cake or even pie, are the easiest to make and serve, especially when there’s a crowd clamoring for dessert. You might have a pumpkin or sweet potato bar in your repertoire, but Aunt Nellie’s suggests Carrot Crumble Bars for a change of pace.

Grab a jar of glazed, sliced carrots, slightly sweet and spicy, and ready to enjoy in numerous ways. They are also a great time-saving step for this delicious dessert.

They’re cooked and ready to eat, so just puree the entire jar of carrots and add the remaining four ingredients. That’s it for the tasty filling, which is nestled between a crunchy oat crust and topping. Start to fin-

In large bowl, combine flour, oats and brown sugar. Add butter; stir to coat. Reserve 1/3 cup for topping. Press remaining mixture evenly into bottom of 9-inch square baking pan lined with aluminum foil, if desired. Bake 10 minutes, or until lightly browned and set.

For filling, place carrots and liquid in food processor or blender container; puree until smooth. Transfer to medium bowl.

Add egg, sugar, pumpkin pie spice and vanilla; stir until well combined. Pour over

baked crust.

Sprinkle carrot mixture evenly with reserved crumbs. Bake 30 minutes, or until knife inserted near center comes out clean.

Warm The Chill With Best Chili In The Area

By Cheryl Conway ith the chill in the air, everyone seems to crave that comfy food to warm their insides like hot chocolate, tasty soups and spicy chili.

As a specialty throughout the season, Fresco Mexican in Chester will be serving its award winning chili.

Co-owner Marco Rojas along with his Head Chef Noe Hor Veliz and staff of Fresco Mexican recently won first place in Chester’s third Annual Harvest Celebration for his Smoked Pork Black Bean Tomatillo Chili.

Co-sponsored by Historic Chester Business Association (HCBA) and French’s Food Company, Fresco Mexican has competed for three years in the food fest, winning two years in a row for its chili. This year’s contest was held on Perry St., Sat., Oct. 15, from noon to 3 p.m., with restaurants competing for best soup, chili and dessert. The catch to this year’s contest was the participants had to use ingredients from French’s Food Company.

“It worked for us,” says Fresco Mexican Co-Owner Carlos Cervantes. “This

T

year we had to use their products. That’s what brought us to the win. He won.”

Out of ten contestants for the chili cook off from area restaurants such as in Morristown, Hackettstown and Madison, Rojas and Cervantes were thrilled to be selected as first place chili contest winners selected by judges’ choice blind taste test, says Cervantes. The judges were from CCM Culinary Arts Department, “Edible Jersey” Magazine and French’s Food Company.

Rojas was “over the

top,” when he found out he won, says Cervantes. “He was ecstatic. We went up against some really good restaurants.”

Cervantes would not reveal Rojas’ secret recipe but says “it’s very fresh; nothing is canned.” The pork is roasted in banana leaves, resulting in its smoky pork, chili flavor.

“We use roast pork, black beans, smoked Mexican Chiles,” describes Rojas on the ilovechester. com food fest site. “We had to come up with a recipe, original recipe,” he says.

“We do our own roast pork

with black beans and tomatillos that makes it so unique, and smoked chili which gives all the flavor to our final dish.”

Rojas describes one of the best things from his cooking. “It is a big joy watching our customers taking the first bite and seeing the big smile on their face.”

Known for its authentic Mexican cuisine, Fresco Mexican typically does not feature chili on its menu.

But since Rojas’ creation was such a hit, the owners decided to keep it on the menu as a “seasonal spe-

cial” through the fall and maybe let it linger into the winter. Customers can try the chili for lunch or dinner with nachos, stuffed burritos or roasted chili relleno.

“Chili is more American” cuisine, says Cervantes. But with Rojas’ incredible background as a former executive chef of the Black Horse Pub in Mendham and Short Hills Club in Short Hills, his chili creation is that good.

Rojas, from Guadalajara Mexico, developed his regional style of Mexican cooking in his mother’s kitchen. It was there where he learned how to use the fresh produce, cheese, and meats from the local merchants.

He relocated to New Jersey in the late 80’s, working in those various restaurants before joining Cervantes in opening Fresco in Flanders in 2006. The pair relocated

to Chester in 2010, opening Fresco Mexican. One year later, in 2011, they opened a unique gift shop right next door- Random Acts of Fresco - featuring hand-crafted artisan imports from countries such as Mexico, Peru, Guatemala, Haiti, and India “We have a beautiful trophy,” from the chili contest, says Cervantes, who moved to NJ from Key West in 1988. He had started his career in hotels at the famed Pier House Beach Club and Resort then managed various restaurants throughout the northern NJ area; including 15 years at The Madison Hotel in Morristown as a sales and catering manager.

Fresco Mexican is open seven days a week, Sun.Thu., 10:30 a.m.-9 p.m.; and Fri.-Sat., 10:30 a.m.-10 p.m.

Teens Provide Meals And Warm Essentials To Those In Need Through Renewal Congregation

T

By Cheryl Conway eens throughout the area are getting in on the action by preparing meals for the homeless, donating to food drives for the local pantry and collecting outer gear to warm those living on the streets or in shelters.

The group called Social Teen Action Fellows just formed this fall through the Or Ha Lev Jewish Renewal Congregation in Roxbury.

About six teens, both pre and post bar and bat mitzva students, participate in this community action work for social justice.

The teens have been joining about 20 individuals affiliated with this congregation who gather at members’ homes to prepare meals and collect items to help those in need once a month for the past three years.

On Sun., Nov. 6, the group delivered gloves, hats and scarves to St. Lucy’s Shelter in Jersey City. Some members crocheted “gorgeous hats,” and scarves were made from cut winter flannel materials

and fleece, describes Rabbi Debra Smith of Parsippany, religious leader at Or Ha Lev Jewish Renewal Congregation. “Members cut them and prepare them,” she says.

Providing meals also is a priority. Its next gathering is set for Sun., Dec. 4, to prepare more meals.

“Each first Sunday every month we make and deliver 175 meals to St. Lucy’s Shelter in Jersey City,” says Smith who is known as “Reb Deb.” All vegetarian meals, including sandwiches, salads and desserts are prepared and delivered by members.

Smith got connected with the shelter through Zamir Hassan, national organizer of the Faiths Against Hunger, when she heard him speak years back.

“We used to seek out homeless people in Jersey City,” says her husband, Neil Smith, a retired mohel who helps lead the services through his music. “Most would reside at the shelter.

We made the connection that the same people are going to the shelter. It’s much

more efficient.”

The congregation also constantly collects and provides food to the Roxbury Food Pantry. Volunteers are currently collecting items for Thanksgiving meals such as cranberry sauce, stuffing and yams, says Smith.

“Our mission in addition to prayer is to serve the community,” says Smith.

“You serve without bias.

When our people bring food to the shelter, they don’t just drop it off, they go in.”

Smith, a long-time resident of Long Valley, began Or Ha Lev Jewish Renewal Congregation in 2013. She selected Succasunna as the congregation’s gathering place because of its central location to multiple towns seeking new denomination in Judaism, she says. The closest congregations of this denomination are in Monmouth and Philadelphia.

Or Ha Lev, which means “light of the heart,” is a new denomination in Judaism sought by individuals that “are just not satisfied with traditional forms that are

out there,” explains Smith.

Its ideals come out of Hasidic Judaism, she explains, but “you wouldn’t recognize it. It uses traditional Judaism in terms of prayer, holidays and beliefs but has unique elements in prayer life. We do a lot a meditation, chanting, drumming, our services are musical. It’s presented in a very energetic and unique way.”

The congregation has grown from 12 individuals to 40 family members. The growing group forced her to move her services from her family room in her house to rented space at Redeemer Lutheran Church in Succasunna. For Passover last year, Smith organized an interfaith Seder for 60 people at the church.

“Part of my mission is to work in the interfaith community,” says Smith. “It’s called deep ecumenism which is a philosophy of engaging in other faith groups, build relationships and make this a healthier place.”

Friday night services are held at 7:30 at the church, and Shabbat services are held one Saturday per month. Smith also provides individual instruction as far as Hebrew school lessons, adult education classes one Sunday a month and an adult Hebrew class. With-

Churches Join Together To Bring The Nativity Story To Life

T

by Elsie Walker he story takes place at a time when people weren’t sure if they could trust anything.

The valued counsel that seemed to once guide them was gone. For a long time, they held on to what they’d always believed; but as time passed, they wondered.

When things seemed out of their control, could they trust that all would be well?

Though it might seem like modern day, the scene is the little town of Bethlehem and the story is the birth of the baby Jesus.

That story will be brought to life through the talents of six area churches sharing songs, skits, puppetry, bell music and poetry. The 14th annual Christmas Arts program is set to be held on Dec. 4, at 5 p.m. at the Port Morris United Methodist Church in Landing. A free

will offering will be taken.

The theme for this year’s program is “In God We Put Our Trust.” The story will share how Jesus’ mother, father, and the rest of those involved put their trust in God at a time when some wondered where’s God hand was in life.

During the annual event’s 14 years, various churches have shared their talents in telling the birth of Jesus. It is an intergenerational presentation with various age groups taking on roles. For some, it has become an annual tradition.

One of the mainstays is the husband and wife team of John and Cathy Bingham, representing The Flanders United Methodist Church.

“Cathy and I have been doing this for a while now and it is one of the highlights of our holiday season,” said John Bingham.

“We enjoy looking for new or special music and then sharing it with others. And it’s important to keep the story of Christ’s birth alive for our children to learn, understand and appreciate God’s love. We like how the art program brings together people with different ideas and talents to share in the telling of this important story.”

This year the Binghams will be doing “O Holy Night” and “What Child Is This.” In addition, the Flanders church’s choir will also be on hand, to sing “Go Tell it On the Mountain.”

Echoing Binghams’s comments about the program was Pam Laura, director of the children’s choir at St. James Episcopal Church in Hackettstown.

Another longtime participating group, Laura said, “We enjoy participating in

the program because of its unique use of various forms of performance and wide age range of the performers to highlight the story of the nativity. It enriches the story while providing attendees and participants alike an opportunity to experience different forms of the performing arts.”

The children’s choir, made up of children ages four – 12, will be doing an original piece by Laura called, “Come Shepherds, Come Sheep.” A unique thing about this choir is that it is a singing and signing choir. In the past, St. James Episcopal had a deal ministry. It no longer does, but the choir keeps the signing tradition alive by signing its songs.

Also providing vocal music will be soloists and groups from St. Michael’s Roman Catholic Church in Netcong, Valley View Chapel in Long Valley, St. Margaret of Scotland Church in Morristown, and the host church.

Bell music will be provided by the Trinity Ringers of Trinity United Methodist Church in Hackettstown under the direction of Jill Fedon. The bell choir is quite accomplished and has played at some impressive venues.

“The Trinity Ringers

performed with the Cross Border Orchestra of Ireland at Carnegie Hall in 2015; [they have] performed at Disney World through the Disney Performing Arts Program,” said Fedon. “As part of that trip, they also performed and volunteered at Give Kids the World, nonprofit “storybook” resort in Central Florida where children with life-threatening illnesses and their families are treated to week-long, cost-free vacations.”

Puppetry and skits done by members of the host church round out the program.

“At Port Morris United Methodist Church, December is the most special time of the year,” said Pastor Nick Petrov. “It is a busy and hectic time of preparation for the holidays, but it is also a time for our ec-

umenical Christmas Arts program.

“Through the program, we declare that we are touched personally by God’s love. The birth of Jesus is a profound and mysterious sign of God’s love for us. Each year, at the annual Christmas Arts program, the choir of Port Morris United Methodist Church, the puppet ministry, as well as the performers and soloists from the other churches make the joyful announcement that we can celebrate God’s love in unity despite the fact that we belong to different churches, denominations, confessions and faiths. This year, again, we will tell the Nativity story of Jesus’ love for all the earth. It is a privilege for Port Morris United Methodist Church to host such a joyful event.”

Apple Cider Demonstrations Offered At Great Swamp

othing says fall like brightly colored leaves and delicious apple cider! Make the season complete with a fun and educational excursion to the Great Swamp Outdoor Education Center in Chatham Township for an Apple Cidering Demonstration.

Hour-long demonstrations are designed to engage, involve, and educate all ages. Remaining two sessions, at 1 p.m. and 2:30 p.m., are offered on Nov. 26 and 27. Take part in the hands-on process by preparing and grinding the apples, turning the old-fashioned press, and collecting the cider. Watch as locally grown apples are pressed to make sweet cider.

“Did you know that you have been looking at apples upside down your entire life? And that apple pie might not be so American after all,” Jenny Gaus Myers, assistant director of Education and Interpretive Services at the Morris County Park Commission asked.

“At the ‘Apple Cidering Demonstrations’ you’ll learn all about the amazing apple’s place in history and in the natural world, along with lots of apple-themed fun facts,” Gaus-Myers continued.

Best of all, sample fresh, homemade cider made at The Swamp and compare it to the delicious cider provided by Whole Foods Market!

Admission to this event is $3 per person ages three and

up. Pre-registration is not necessary. Arrive early, because admission is first-come, first-served, and demos often fill up quickly.

Local Blood Drives Offered

ew Jersey Blood Services plans to conduct local blood drives which are open to the public. The following drives are scheduled: Sat., Dec. 3, Presbyterian Church of Morris Plains, Morris Plains, 8 a.m. to 2 p.m.

Sat., Dec. 3, Chatham Emergency Squad, Chatham, 8:30 a.m. to 2:30 p.m.

Tue., Dec. 6, Drew University Center Ehinger Center, Madison, 1 p.m. to 7 p.m.

Sat., Dec. 10, St. Jude’s Church, Budd Lake, 8 a.m. to 2 p.m.

Wed. Dec. 14, St. Francis Health Resort, Denville, 1 p.m. to 7 p.m..

New Jersey Blood Services, a division of New York Blood Center (NYBC) is asking for help to maintain an adequate supply of all blood types, but especially O-negative – the “universal” blood which can be transfused into anyone in an emergency.

In addition, hundreds of additional blood drives need to be scheduled to meet projected hospital demand. Current inventory of several blood types is running below the desired target level.

“It’s simple: hospital patient demand

for blood often outpaces our best efforts to recruit donors and schedule blood drives,” said NYBC Executive Director of Donor Recruitment Andrea Cefarelli. “There are always reasons but we have to overcome that for the sake of hospital patients who need us.”

“This is one of the toughest times of the year,” Cefarelli added. “We’re asking for our dedicated supporters to roll up their sleeves to make sure we’re able to provide our hospital partners with whatever they need to take care of their patients.”

Blood products have a short shelf life – from five to 42 days, so constant replenishment is necessary. Each and every day there are patients who depend on the transfusion of red blood cells, platelets and plasma to stay alive. But blood and blood products can’t be manufactured. They can only come from volunteer blood donors who take an hour to attend a blood drive or visit a donor center.

To donate blood or for information on how to organize a blood drive call 1-800933-2566; visit: www.nybloodcenter.org.

Rabbi To Explore Origins And Future Of Isis In Free Series At Library

R

abbi Steven Bayar, spiritual leader of Congregation B’nai Israel in Millburn, plans to offer an insightful look at ISIS (the Islamic State) in a series of free talks on Tue., Dec. 6; Mon., Dec. 12, and Tue., Dec. 20, at 12:30 p.m., at the Morris County Library in Whippany. His series is titled “Spotlight on ISIS: What It Is, Why and How it Developed, What’s Ahead.”

The gatherings are sponsored by National Council of Jewish Women (NCJW), West Morris Section, and coordinated by the organization’s Our Jewish World program, under the direction of Melanie Levitan and Ellen Nesson, both of Morristown.

Rabbi Bayar’s classes will focus on a brief history of the Middle East, or geopolitics gone wrong; an overview of Islam, looking at what unites Islam and what divides it; and why and how ISIS came about.

4 Steps For Downsizing

or one reason or another, you’ve determined the house you’re living in has become too much to handle. Seniors, empty nesters or those moving from a suburban home into a loft or apartment in the city all face similar challenges when it comes to downsizing.

For example, after Judy Raphael’s husband was diagnosed with dementia and moved to a nursing home, it became difficult for her to take care of her large house the couple had lived in for 23 years. At first, Raphael tried to maintain the house by herself, but things started to pile up and soon the house was in need of serious repairs.

“There were a lot of unknowns on what was wrong in the house – from mildew and mold to the driveway that needed to be replaced, the list goes on,” Raphael said.

When it comes to downsizing your living space, you can start preparing with these steps.

1. Determine what’s next. Think about what type of lifestyle you want to live moving forward, but take into account how much space you’ll actually need to accommodate that life. Whether it’s a smaller house or alternate option like an apartment or townhome, the first step is to decide what you’re looking for in your next living space. This can also help you figure out what items will move with you and what will need to be sold, donated, thrown away or left behind.

2. Assess what you actually need. Now that you’ve determined that downsizing is your best option, you’ll need to figure out what size, space and things you need.

Maybe there’s a pile of stuff collecting dust in your attic or basement that can be sold or donated, or maybe you believe you can move all of your belongings into a more compact area. Either way, a downsize means going through storage spaces, closets and room in your home to determine what stays behind and what goes with you.

3. Sell your home. Raphael knew she needed to fix the house before it would be considered sellable, but knew she could not manage it alone. After seeing a television commercial for HomeVestors, she decided to give them a call to schedule a free consultation with a local independently owned and operated franchise.

Over the course of the seven-month

sales process, Raphael not only accepted an offer on her home from Aaron Katz of WinWin Properties, but the unexpected happened: Raphael’s mother passed away.

Katz not only promised to let Raphael and her daughter tour the home after it was renovated, but he was also the first to stop by with flowers after her mother’s passing.

An option such as HomeVestors, the largest professional house buying franchise in the nation with more than 65,000 houses bought since 1996, offers cash payments and quick closing, which can be helpful in the downsizing process. In many cases, homes can also be sold as-is with no repairs and with unwanted contents still inside.

4. Stay organized during the move.

You’ve now spent a ton of time and energy going through old things and boxing up possessions for the big move – don’t let that time go to waste by allowing your organization to fall apart on move-in day.

Make sure you store items in places that make sense, going room-by-room in an organized fashion.

outines help keep us focused, organized and healthy. However, if your health care routine doesn’t include preparing for Medicare’s Open Enrollment, now’s the time to kick-start a new healthy habit.

If you have a Medicare health or prescription drug plan, Open Enrollment runs Oct. 15 through Dec. 7. During this time, you can make changes to your plan which will take effect Jan. 1, 2017. Even if you’re happy with your current coverage, you might find something that’s a better fit for your budget or health needs. If you miss the Open Enrollment deadline, you’ll most likely have to wait a full year before you can make changes to your plan.

Here are five important things every Medicare beneficiary can do to get into the Medicare Open Enrollment routine each year: 1. Review your plan notice. Be sure to read any notices from your Medicare plan about changes for next year, especially your “Annual Notice of Change” letter.

Look at your plan’s information to make sure your drugs are still covered and your

Manage Your Medicare Open Enrollment

doctors are still in network.

2. Think about what matters most to you. Medicare health and drug plans change each year and so can your health needs. Do you need a new primary care doctor? Does your network include the specialist you want for an upcoming surgery? Is your new medication covered by your current plan? Does another plan offer the same value at a lower cost? Take stock of your health status and determine if you need to make a change.

3. Find out if you qualify for help paying for your Medicare. Learn about programs in your state to help with the costs of Medicare premiums, your Medicare Part A (hospital insurance) and Medicare Part B (medical insurance) deductibles, coinsurance and copayments, and Medicare prescription drug coverage costs. You can do this by visiting Medicare.gov or making an appointment with a local State Health Insurance Assistance Program (SHIP) counselor.

4. Shop for plans that meet your needs and fit your budget. Starting each October, you can use Medicare’s plan finder tool at

A new plan may: • Cost less • Cover your drugs • Let you go to the providers you want, like your doctor or pharmacy If you find your current coverage still meets your needs, then you’re done.

If you’re already in a Medicare Advantage Plan, you can switch back to Original Medicare.

5. Check your plan’s Star Rating before you enroll. The Medicare Plan Finder is up-to-date with the Star Ratings for Medicare health and prescription drug plans.

Plans are given an overall quality rating on a one to five star scale, with one star representing poor performance and five stars representing excellent performance. Star Ratings can be used to compare the quality of health and drug plans being offered.

Don’t Leave Dental Benefit Money On The Table

I

t’s not too late to improve your dental health and overall health without putting a dent in your wallet. If you have dental insurance, you have until Dec. 31 to use your benefits before they expire.

“A lot of people don’t realize just how easy it can be to get back on the path to good dental health, especially if you have dental insurance to help with the costs,” said Dr. Melissa Thompson, an Aspen Dental practice owner. “Routine dental visits can help you manage your oral health needs, and good oral health is strongly connected to your overall health.”

With 2016 coming to a close, here are some quick and easy tips for maximizing your dental benefits before they expire.

Ways to Maximize Your Benefits While every dental insurance plan is different in terms of what services are covered, these are three ways to consider cashing in before Dec. 31: • Routine Check-Ups In 2015, 155 million American adults did not visit the dentist. However, regular preventative cleanings allow dentists to catch problems early on, often resulting in less extensive (and less painful) treatments. Most standard insurance plans cover routine cleanings twice per year, so if you have insurance and haven’t been to the dentist in six months, you should schedule an appointment before the end of the year.

• Fillings Most dental plans cover all, or the majority of, the costs for fillings, so don’t delay treatment. What may be a minor cavity today could turn into a root canal or extraction later on. Avoiding care could lead to even bigger costs in the future.

• Denture Repairs and Replacements The American College of Prosthodon-

tists recommends evaluating dentures for replacement after they have been in use for more than five years. Poorly fitted dentures can cause infection, mouth sores and other oral health issues. If you wear dentures, getting repairs or replacements are ways to use your dental benefits, which often can help manage the costs. Also, remember it’s important to replace dentures as you age because your mouth changes shape and can cause dentures to not fit properly.

How to Choose a Dental Insurance Plan Choosing a dental insurance plan can be overwhelming, but here are a couple key details you should look for as you decide to make the most of your money.

• Deductible Amounts The majority of dental insurance plans have a deductible amount, which is the amount you will have to pay out of pocket for dental services before your insurance covers the remaining cost. When reviewing insurance plans, ensure that you can afford the deductible amounts before signing on the dotted line.

• Procedures Covered While some do, not all dental insurance plans cover procedures such as braces, dentures or bridges. If these are things that you or someone in your family may need, make sure to review all plan options for what you can afford.

If you’re not covered and need care, look for dental practices with affordable options. With more than 575 locations across 34 states that offer extended office hours and are accepting new patients, Aspen Dental practices offer several affordable payment options and services for patients without insurance. Find an office near you or sign up for an appointment online at AspenDental.com.

How To Manage Noise Aversion In Dogs And Strengthen The Human-Animal Bond

he holiday season seems to last longer and get more hectic every year.

Whether cooking the Thanksgiving feast or doing last-minute gift shopping, everyone can get a little stressed out. Most people don’t know that their dog may also experience anxiety during these celebrations.

According to an online survey conducted by Harris Poll and commissioned by Zoetis, 46 percent of dog owners reported their dog showed symptoms of stress during the holidays; that stress could be due to noise aversion. The survey also found that 44 percent of dog owners said their dogs suffer from noise aversion.

Noise aversion is the set of fear-based behaviors that dogs display when subjected to “noise triggers.” During the year-end holidays, such noise triggers might be the doorbell, boisterous family gatherings, children playing with loud toys or New Year’s fireworks.

During the busy holiday season, common behavioral signs of canine noise aversion include: panting, trembling or shaking, pacing or restlessness, vocalizing,

hiding, owner-seeking behavior, cowering, refusal to eat, excessive vigilance or hypervigilance, and escape behaviors.

Although noise aversion is common, dog owners often do not seek help from their veterinarians. One reason may be that pet owners recognize their dogs overreact to noise, but do not recognize that these behaviors are a demonstration of fear. This fear can disrupt the human-animal bond by causing anxiety for the dogs and stress for their humans.

Therefore, it is important to seek treatment for your dog if he is displaying signs of noise aversion. Not only are these dogs distressed and suffering, but when left untreated, noise aversion can progress to a more severe state.

“It is crucial to understand the level of physiological suffering that occurs with the stress and anxiety of noise aversion,” said Dr. Lynn Honeckman, a Florida veterinarian. “Ignoring the fearful pet during a noise event or using prescription medications as a last resort is not the standard of care as outlined by the American Board of Veterinary Behaviorists.”

A new medication called SILEO® (dexmedetomidine oromucosal gel), the first and only FDA-approved treatment for canine noise aversion, is available via prescription from your veterinarian. It can be easily administered at home to calm your dog without sedating him for the duration of a noisy holiday event. The first dose can be given as soon as the dog shows signs of anxiety and fear, or approximately 3060 minutes before a known fear- or anxiety-causing noise stimulus.

There are additional ways to make your dog with noise aversion feel more comfortable. Dogs always need a safe place to call their own, and that can be especially true when they need comfort from loud celebrations. Sometimes a dim, quiet room or crate can provide comfort, while soft music can soothe other dogs.

Don’t suffer through the holiday season with a fearful and anxious dog and a stressed family. If you think your dog is showing signs of noise aversion, consult your veterinarian for guidance on a solution that allows you and your dog to enjoy the holidays together.

For more information about treating noise aversion in dogs, including prescribing information and important safety information, visit sileodogus.com.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION: Do not use SILEO in dogs with severe cardiovascular disease, respiratory, liver or kidney diseases, or in conditions of shock, severe debilitation or stress due to extreme heat, cold or fatigue, or in dogs hypersensitive to dexmedetomidine or to any of the excipients. SILEO should not be administered in the presence of preexisting hypotension, hypoxia or bradycardia.

Do not use in dogs sedated from previous

dosing. SILEO has not been evaluated in dogs younger than 16 weeks of age or in dogs with dental or gingival disease that could have an effect on the absorption of SILEO. SILEO has not been evaluated for use in breeding, pregnant or lactating dogs.

Transient pale mucous membranes at the site of application may occur with SILEO use. Other uncommon adverse reactions included emesis, drowsiness or sedation.

Handle gel-dosing syringes with caution to avoid direct exposure to skin, eyes or mouth. SILEO has not been evaluated for aversion behaviors to thunderstorms. For full Prescribing Information, visit ZoetisUS.com/SileoPI. Survey Methodology This survey was conducted online within the United States by Harris Poll on behalf of Zoetis from May 23-25, 2016, among 2,136 adults ages 18 and older (among which 887 are dog owners and 395 whose dog has experienced noise anxiety).

In the survey, noise anxiety was defined as trembling, shaking, clingy, hiding, panting, pacing, whining or whimpering, cowering, escape behavior, or property destruction when exposed to loud noises. This online survey is not based on a probability sample and therefore no estimate of theoretical sampling error can be calculated. For complete survey methodology, including weighting variables, contact Lindsey Goodman at lgoodman@archermalmo. com.
