International Walk To School Day Stresses The Benefits Of Walking

By Elsie Walker very day, children are seen walking to and from Netcong Elementary School on College Road.

A survey of the school, which houses grades K –

eight, shows that about 33 percent of students walk to school daily and about 39 percent walk home from school daily. However, one day in October, a familiar face made the walk to school special: Mayor Joe

Nametko.

Nametko was on hand to help the children mark International Walk to School Day. The Netcong event was sponsored by the Walk & Roll Club, headed by the Netcong PTA. The club promotes fitness in children through monthly special events. The club’s coordinator is Leigh Ann Von Hagen of Netcong who noted that more than 100 children participate in Walk & Roll days. A child receives a back pack charm for each event in which he or she participates.

Walk To School Day...

continued from front page that a lifetime of being active begins on the way to school. By choosing to walk or bike and being physically active, students arrive awake and ready to learn which leads to better test scores and starts their day the healthy way.”

Von Hagen also noted the health benefits of walking at a time when across the country, children are less active than in previous generations.

She said, “23 percent of children get no free time physical activity at all. The prevalence of obesity is so great that today’s generation of children may be the first in over 200 years to live less healthy and have a shorter lifespan than their parents.” She noted that in walking one mile to school each day, a child will have met 2/3 of the daily 60 minutes of exercise recommended for children to stay healthy.

every October, focuses on health and the various other benefits of walking. According to the International Walk to School website, http://www.iwalktoschool.org, the event brings together members of communities worldwide. Depending on the area, different benefits may be highlighted including improving one’s health, improving the environment (walking does not pollute like cars do), emphasizing the need to have safe routes for kids to walk and creating a sense of community among walkers.

In Netcong, not all of the children walked; some rode bikes. Regardless of the mode they used to get to school, they reaped the benefits of the day. One of those benefits was that the children got to walk with Nametko, who enjoyed sharing the event with them. As a child, he walked to school. Growing up in Wharton, Nametko lived right next door to the K-four school and a block away from the five through eight school.

“It meant a lot to me to walk along with the group of students and their parents,” said Nametko. “We started from the train

station and made our way past two crossing guards who made the walk very safe.

Along the way, all of the students chatted with each other rather than using their phones. Having special walk days throughout the year provide the opportunity for new students to join the walking team while giving their parents the comfort they are not walking by themselves.”

Parents were also part of the International Walk to School Day group and discussed the town and the school with the mayor as they walked. Looking ahead, the Walk & Roll Club’s next event will focus on the upcoming holiday and how one can get in shape before and after feasting.

“The Netcong Walk and Roll Turkey Trot event is a way to get ready for Thanksgiving. As families get ready for a day of family, fun and food, the Turkey Trot is a reminder that 15 minutes of walking at a moderate pace uses about 100 calories. If you walked 15 minutes each way, to and from school every day for a week, you would use an extra 1,000 calories. Something to be thankful for,” said Von Hagen.

Schools Dedicates Buddy Bench To Remember Student

n Tues., Oct. 18, Hudson Maxim School in Hopatcong unveiled its newest addition to the playground, Alex’s Buddy Bench. The bench is dedicated to Alexandra Cafferata, a Hudson Maxim kindergartener who lost her battle with pediatric cancer in 2013. Alex’s teachers, Maria DeLorenzo and Melanie Rowbotham, wanted something at the school to remember Alex by, and when guidance counselor Lisa Schuffenhauer heard about the country wide implementation of buddy benches, she knew it was perfect! The Buddy Bench was originally designed by a first grade student in Pennsylvania. The main purpose was to help students who were looking to join other classmates in activities at recess.

Holiday Bazaar Supports Two Charities

M

istleToe Magic - Holiday Bazaar is set for Dec. 10, 10 a.m. to 3 p.m., at Stanhope Firehouse in Stanhope.

Proceeds will support Toys for Tots thru the Roxbury Police Dept. and The Sanders Matitis Burn Foundation.

C Mr. Juskus and his woodshop students at Hopatcong High School built a buddy bench for each of the Hopatcong elementary schools.

Hudson Maxim staff spent the summer painting their bench yellow, for childhood cancer awareness. They added the words for the six pillars of character educa-

tion as a reminder of the bucket filling traits at the school.

SignArt Graphic created a weatherproof photo of Alex that could be attached to the front of the bench.

Alex’s family and friends attended the buddy bench unveiling ceremony and the students had an overwhelm-

ingly positive response to the idea of having a safe place to find and make new friends at recess. Future Hudson Maxim students will continue to benefit from the positive impact of having a buddy bench, all while keeping the friendly, caring, spunky attitude of Alex alive.

Did You Know?

hristmas songs provide the soundtrack for holiday magic. Such songs evoke strong feelings in people, and various songs have become staples at holiday celebrations. Some interesting facts and history surround many popular Christmas songs. “White Christmas,” for example, is the best-selling Christmas song of all time.

However, “Silent Night” is the most recorded Christmas song in history, says TIME. “Santa Claus Is Coming to Town” is considered a jolly song, but songwriter James Gillespie was unemployed and had just lost his brother prior to writing the song. Still, he was able to look past his grief to pen the classic. Many are unaware that “Jingle Bells” originally was supposed to be a Thanksgiving song.

While many beloved Christmas songs have been around for decades, one artist managed to tap into the success of classic Christmas music. Mariah Carey’s “All I Want for Christmas Is You” is a popular modern-day Christmas song.

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. Without a building fund, dues are kept low with members continued on next page

continued from previous page paying $300 per person to join or $600 per family, says Smith. Annual dues include attendance to all of the High Holiday services.

The congregation “had a huge turnout” this year, says Smith, who attended rabbinical school for five years at Aleph Alliance for Jewish Renewal and has a masters in Jewish studies from Gratz College, both in

Philadelphia. “We had many, many people who called who came.”

Family members come from “all over” including surrounding areas such as Randolph, Mt. Olive, Chester, Morristown, Hackettstown, Netcong and Morris Plains.

Churches Join Together To Bring The Nativity Story To Life

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 Moun-

tain.”

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 continued on next page

continued from previous page 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 ecumenical 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.”

Local CASA Pledges To Raise Funds For Foster Care Children

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.”

Netcong School Recognizes Exemplary Educator

N

etcong School District has named Marlene Baccaro as a 2016 New Jersey Exemplary Elementary Educator. The goal of this program is to identify educators who are valued by their school and community and have exhibited strong knowledge and skills, as inspiring presence, and a clear vision for quality teaching and learning.

Annually, the New Jersey Department of Education invites administrators from each district to recommend educators for the Exemplary Elementary Educator Recognition Program. Candidates must demonstrate exceptional educational talent as evidenced by effective instructional practices and student learning results; exemplary educational accomplishments beyond the classroom; contributions to education that are largely unheralded; engaging and inspiring presence that motivates and impacts students, colleagues, and the community; strong, longrange potential for professional and policy leadership.

Dr. Gina Cinotti, Chief School Administrator, stated, “When I read the nomination program for

N

this prestigious award, I immediately knew who we would nominate. This person not only exudes a talent for teaching and instructing learners, but she exudes a commitment, passion, and genuineness professionally and personally. She has a thirst for teaching mastery of the standards, while making learning fun. She is a role model to all.”

Baccaro is a veteran teacher at Netcong and was first employed here as an instructional aide. At any given time, an observer can enter her classroom and see project-based learning, 21st Century skills and high academic standards and rig-

or. She consistently is a “teacher facilitator” and progresses her lesson on student feedback. Students have fun learning and are eager to learn more.

Upon receiving her award, Baccaro said, “I feel honored and privileged to be among such a remarkable and distinguished group of educators and staff at Netcong School. I am truly grateful to Dr. Cinotti, Mrs. Walsh, and all those individuals who remind me how fortunate I am to work at a place with colleagues and students I care about, in a job that a love. I share this recognition with all of them.”

Volunteers Needed

ew Jersey Blood Services, a division of New York Blood Center, which supplies blood products and services to 60 hospitals throughout the state, is in need of volunteers at blood drives. The blood service volunteer is an integral member of the collection team assisting donors with registration, escorting and canteen duties and watching for post

donation reactions. Volunteers should have the ability to relate to the public, be able to perform different jobs as needed and have the willingness to follow the rules. For additional information contact, Manager of Community Relations, R. Jan Zepka at 732-616-8741 or zepka@nybloodcenter. org.

Netcong Elementary School Students Take Part In Character Ed Program With Yo-Yos

n Wed., Oct. 5, students in grades kindergarten through sixth attended a school assembly where The NED Show was presented. The NED Show is a character education program that inspires students to become champions in school and in life. The acronym, NED, stands for “Never give up, Do your best, and Encourage others.”

The NED Show is presented at schools free of charge via a pay it forward payment option. This option requires the school to sell “NED” Yo-yos for five days after the assembly. When families choose to purchase items from that sale, they are not only getting a classic yo-yo with the NED message on it, but they’re also helping send The NED Show assembly to the

next school. To date, students at Netcong have raised $1,025 in yo-yo sales which goes directly back to The NED Show. The proceeds from the yo-yo sale helps other schools have The NED Show assembly at their school free of charge.

“I am impressed at the overwhelming response we received with the yo-yo sale,” said Mrs. Kathleen Walsh, assistant prin-

cipal. “I have had a steady stream of students and parents coming in to the school to purchase yo-yos after the NED show performance. I am happy that the students enjoyed the message that was imparted during the assembly and that the message will continue to be seen throughout our school as students learn new yo-yo tricks and perfect their yo-yoing talents.”

Community Partners To Create Festive Masks

hrough a generous grant from the MetLife Foundation and Mondelez International, Morris Area Arts, along with partnerships with The Growing Stage Theatre, and Netcong Community Partnerships, brought local artist Dan Fenelon to the Netcong Elementary School to conduct Mask Workshops with students in grades six through eight.

Fenelon works with communities to create one of a kind original art projects. All the masks built by the students during the workshop were paraded and displayed at Netcong’s Pumpkin Illumination event on Sat., Oct. 29.

Local students and parents paraded the illuminated masks down Main Street in Netcong after the annual trunk or treat Halloween celebration.

“It was wonderful to see the art work the students created on display for all of our local community members to see,” said Kathleen Walsh, Assistant Principal. “The event was well attended and provided an evening of fun for people of all ages.”

This is not the first time that the Netcong Elementary School has partnered with the Morris Area Arts and looks forward to partnering with the Morris Area Arts in the coming years.

Netcong Students Raise Thousands From Color Run

O

n Oct. 22, approximately 200 students and parents from the Netcong School community gathered in the school’s auditorium to get ready to participate in the school’s annual Color Run Fundraiser.

The Color Run Fundraiser started during the 20152016 school year by Student Council moderator, Kimberly Arbolino. The goal of the fundraiser is to raise enough money to cover the costs of busing for field trips to ensure that we keep field trip costs down for parents and student. Last year, the Color Run Fundraiser raised $7,310 which covered the cost of busing for all last year’s field trips. This year, the students

raised even more money for a total profit of $7,689 to cover the costs of busing for this year’s annual field trips.

Arbolino stated, “I am thrilled with the positive outcome of the Color Run event. It’s a fun event that boosts camaraderie and school spirit. All participants have fun and everyone enjoys spreading color all over each other.”

Kathleen Walsh, assistant principal, said “We are grateful for all the hard work, time, and energy that Mrs. Arbolino and the Student Council put in to make this event successful. It is nice to see the outpouring of support for the students and the school as well.”

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

I

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-

Rutherford Hall Seeks Volunteers

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 adjacent 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.

As one example, members of the Friends of Rutherfurd Hall, continue their volunteerism by reviving the flower beds and clearing brush and decaying trees. Nowhere has this been more apparent than fighting back poison ivy and using muscle otherwise unknown.

There are more sedate and talented needs for volunteers within the building.

During the growing season, local businesses have “adopted” the Hall. To all these patrons, Rutherfurd Hall is extremely grateful for not only donating but you have become part of history.

For more information about The Friends of Rutherfurd Hall, join a meeting which is set for every first Thursday of the month at 7 p.m. Tours are conducted every Wednesday, 1 p.m. to 4 p.m. Visit www.rutherfurdhall.org or call the Executive Director Laurie Rapisardi at 908-852-1894 ext.334.

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.

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.

He is a diplomate of the American Board

T

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.

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

H

Warm The Chill With Best Chili In The Area

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.

Motivation Sweetens The Recipe For Weight Loss

By Cheryl Conway t a recent exercise class, a new member walked in at least half way into the start of class. No biggie, I was few minutes late myself. But when I noticed that she was exercising without any shoes on, I thought well now that’s motivation!

The instructor stopped class and ran out to her car thinking she had an extra pair in her trunk, as they happen to wear the same size, but realized they were no longer

R

there. When asked where her shoes were, the member responded ‘I just couldn’t find them.’

Exercise and dieting go hand and hand, most trainers and fitness consultants would agree, when it comes to weight loss. But it is that third element that makes all the difference.

Like drinking coffee without cream and sugar, trying to lose weight without that key ingredient, motivation, it just does not mix well.

Did You Know?

esearching family history and genealogy can be an interesting project the entire family can enjoy. Thanks to the Internet and the various family history sites that have cropped up in recent years, it is now easier than ever for families to investigate their origins. Family genealogy projects may start as school assignments and grow into much more once the seed of curiosity has been planted.

Web sites such as Ancestry.com and FamilySearch.com can assist individuals with following up on family journals or wordof-mouth stories passed on through generations. Tracing one particular branch of the family may be more manageable at the outset. Once that desire for information is sated, you can move on to different family members or even a spouse’s family history.

I admire her motivation. This mother was late to class, missing almost half of it, but still showed up without shoes on her feet.

Toward the end of class, two other women came in to the building, not to exercise, but to set up for a funeral repass for a friend who just died. As they were arranging the tables and lining up the trays filled with delicious pastries as the sweet aroma of coffee filled the room, we were toning with our weights, doing sit ups on the mat and stretches at the end.

I was grateful and appreciative for that moment that I was able to be part of a group of women sharing in an exercise class bonded by the same goal of taking care of our most precious gift from God. We have one body and must be disciplined to take care of it no matter what it takes. Wearing athletic shoes does help of course, but if ‘by any means necessary’ is your motto, and that works for you, by all means, that is the way to go to lead you to a path toward better health and fitness.

No matter what the goal, success is hard to achieve without that motivation. Some may give up their lunch hour to walk four miles every day. Others may give up something they love like eating dessert or drinking alcohol.

Some figure if they exercise everyday they will lose weight, but that is not always the case. Most individuals, once they reach that magical age of 45, need to push themselves even harder or add on even more exercise to their regular routine.

Instead of running four miles, run twice that day and try for six miles. One dad I know spent his free time running his kids around to activities. But he found his motivation when he jumped on that treadmill 11 p.m. at night to still squeeze in that run while others would probably be watching the news or hitting the hay.

Back to that woman at my class, as we were doing our squats, she looked at me with an expression of pain. The class was challenging. I looked at her and told her

Second Graders Learning Yoga

hroughout the first two months at Netcong School, second grade students in Bonnie Lisk’s class have been learning yoga poses as a part of their daily routine.

Yoga has been included in both the morning to focus the start of the day and used throughout the day to refocus the children in the classroom.

The poses are provided on picture cards for the children along with a demonstration from their teacher. Yoga has been proven to show the positive benefits in control and focus in the classroom and Lisk has been seeing these results day to day in her students as they follow her lead through different yoga sequences.

“As these second grad-

ers practice yoga, they rehearse breathing techniques and become more self-aware,” says Lisk.

“The students have been requesting yoga throughout the day.”

The rehearsal of the moves has made the students more confident in the stretches and motivated to

try new routines, creating an enjoyable atmosphere for all.

“Overall, the incorporation of yoga into this group of second graders has improved attention and focus of the learners along with creating a fun, relaxing environment for learning and growing,” she adds.

HVAC Inspection Advised To Prepare For Cold Months

he leaves may be falling now, but winter is just around the corner. Don’t wait until cold weather arrives to make sure the heating system can take on the chill. Properly preparing the heating system for winter requires only a few hours of time and guarantees comfort during the colder months. No one wants to have their furnace breakdown in the middle of winter!

Regular check-ups and maintenance ensure that the system is performing efficiently and providing optimum home comfort. A maintenance plan also extends the life of equipment, increases cost effectiveness and ensures safe operation. Recommended by manufacturers and utilities alike, regularly scheduled maintenance on a heating and air conditioning system can reduce breakdowns by as much as 95 percent and lower utility bills by up to 35 percent.

Air Group offers a wide choice of service plans for heating, air conditioning, plumbing, electrical & generator systems. A service technician is available 24 hours a day seven days a week from October-April for heating through its on-call rotation, which is especially important during extreme weather when someone is entrusted to get equipment going right away.

The easiest and most cost-effective way to keep a system running efficiently is to enroll in an Air Group Priority Plus Maintenance Plan. Tune-ups catch small problems before they become major breakdowns. Get other membership benefits, like priority service to jump to the head of the line and be scheduled ahead of others. This applies to both routine and emergency calls. Also receive a 15 percent discount off the bottom line for heating, air conditioning and plumbing services for as long as the service partner relationship remains in effect. And on top of all that, get a peace of mind. The home’s plumbing, heating and air conditioning systems will be assessed to ensure they are in safe operating condition; findings will be reported, concerns will be explained and potential emergencies will be alerted before they become disruptive problems.

Check out this helpful checklist to ensuring the furnace runs smoothly and efficiently throughout the entire snowy season.

• Replace the furnace filter. Check to see if the filter is full of debris since the last time it was replaced. A dirty filter can cause the furnace to work harder than it has to, and decrease airflow, making it to use more energy and shortening the lifespan of the furnace. Now is also the time

to service the humidifier by changing the water filter.

• Check vents and ductwork. Be sure the supply and return vents are free and clear while also being sure they are not blocked with furniture or clothes. The air must circulate through the rooms to heat them properly.

Air leaking from the basement or attic ductwork is air that should be traveling to rooms. Thoroughly check ducts and their connections to make sure they are secure, and seal air leaks properly before turning on the furnace for the winter.

• Schedule a maintenance call. Having the furnace thoroughly cleaned and inspected by one of the experienced HVAC professionals at Air Group LLC before the start of the winter can make sure that the unit will run efficiently and will fix any potential problems before they grow into bigger concerns.

• Need the furnace inspected? If the furnace wasn’t inspected yet, don’t delay. Contact the experts at Air Group, certified HVAC experts with more than 50 years of experience, call at 1-800-545-1020 or schedule an appointment online at airgroupllc.com.
