Attorney-Turned-Educator To Head Up Redwood Elementary School
A
By Julie Ross decade ago, Timothy Beaumont sat behind a desk in London, England, working as an attorney. But as of March 26, he will do a very different job behind a very different desk in his new job as principal of West Orange’s Redwood Elementary School. Selected in a process that included local parents as well as West Orange adminis-

trators and teachers, Beaumont replaces Interim Principal Heather Carr, who has headed up the school since September of 2017. Carr assumed the duties of former Redwood Elementary School Principal Bruce Arcurio following his resignation last summer. Beaumont’s educational experience can be characterized as somewhat unique. Born in Wales into a family of educators, he attended school in Swaziland as a teenager. There, he studied alongside the children of politicians and diplomats, as well as with Rwandan refugees and former youth soldiers from Mozambique and Angola. While at school, he said, he quickly realized that he “did not have a sense” of his own privilege. The new principal’s career has also followed an interesting trajectory. Although he worked as a summer camp counselor at Elks Camp Moore in Pompton Plains— where he met his wife Sarah—he did not start out in the field of education. Rather, he worked as a corporate attorney in London after attending BPP University Law School and, prior to that, the University of Cambridge, Cambridge, England, where he received a Baccalaureate in history and African American studies. Ten years ago, however, Beaumont decided he wanted a career change and his wife missed New Jersey, so the couple relocated from London to the U.S. It was at
this time that he opted to parlay into a vocation the love of teaching that had been instilled in him by his former history teacher, Mrs. Earnshaw, an African educated in Switzerland. “In the UK, we always glossed over the study of Colonialism,” he said. “Mrs. Earnshaw always challenged us to argue and discuss, challenge our assumptions, connect our realities, and show different perspectives,” he said. Beaumont first applied his affinity for teaching at Clinton Elementary School in Maplewood. While serving as a fourthand fifth-grade teacher there, he helped to

bring the school out of Focus School status over a period of 18 months, according to West Orange school officials. N.J schools that fall into the Focus School category have, among other attributes, the widest gaps in achievement between different subgroups. They receive targeted and tailored solutions to meet their specific needs. Beaumont was eventually named Clinton Elementary School’s assistant principal. He is currently on special assignment in the South Orange-Maplewood School District, assisting with its Quality Single Accountability Continuum (QSAC). Coming into a new school in the middle of the academic year rather than at the beginning, Beaumont said, puts him in a somewhat unusual situ-
ation for a new principal. He has no plans to make radical changes or to place undue burdens on Redwood Elementary School’s teachers. “For change to work effectively, people need a shared sense of vision and ownership, and it takes time to develop those relationships,” he said. “I don’t expect teachers to do what I would not do myself. Redwood is already a school that runs well. I’ll be meeting with Dr. Carr and the staff to learn more about Redwood.” He added that the West Orange schools have a great reputation, and that Redwood Elementary School has top-notch educators and is doing great things. “The function of education is to teach one to think intensively and to think critically,” he said. “Intelligence plus character – that is the goal of true Same-day delivery.

Discover Books And So Much Inside Thomas Edison’s Library
W
By Steve Sears hen visiting the Thomas Edison National Historic Site in West Orange, one may “find” Thomas Edison himself inside his three-story library, which doubled as his office and research center in Building #5. Theresa Jung, assistant superintendent at the site, explains, “It is rare to find a site that still has, not only the historic buildings but also the original furnishings that were in those rooms. It almost looks like Thomas Edison might walk around the corner and join the tour.” Both Edison and his staff used the library regularly for 44 years. Usually the first room a visitor sees when they enter the main laboratory building, there’s too much to absorb during one visit. On the shelves are books and journals from around the world on scientific and technical topics, and on display are artifacts that will keep those with varied interests busy during a self-guided tour. About 10,000 books populate the library, and as far as Jung knows, there is evidence that they used something like the Dewey Decimal System to keep

books in order. And if that first number boggles the mind, consider this about the entirety of the Thomas Edison National Historic Site: there are 400,000 artifacts in the museum collection and five million documents in the archives; not all are on display; many are preserved in storage areas. A few noteworthy things, among so many, wife Mina Edison sent a cot from their nearby Glenmont home in Llewelyn Park for her husband to nap on since he often worked many hours. It’s nestled between a set of bookshelves. Near the library’s third floor, a huge clock read 3:26, the hour and minute hands ceasing movement when Edison
breathed his last at age 84 on Oct. 18, 1931. No explanation for the mysterious clock stoppage has ever been found. Hanging on shelving near the entrance are the pictures of the five United States Presidents in office during a good portion of the years the plant was in operation: Theodore Roosevelt, Woodrow Wilson, Warren Harding, Calvin Coolidge, and Herbert Hoover. It is not known if a president ever visited while in office, but the site has photographs of Franklin D. Roosevelt circa 1920 and Herbert Hoover from 1928 visiting the West Orange laboratory, perhaps during campaign stops. cont. on page 7

Inside Thomas Edison’s Library... continued from page 6 The inventor’s desk, which was locked by his son Charles on the day of his death, but reopened by his wife in 1947 during the celebration of the great man’s 100th birthday, is also on view, its contents well protected by glass. An honorary Academy Award received in 1929 due to his work developing motion pictures, signed by Douglas Fairbanks, Mary Pickford, and other famed screen stars, hangs prominently along with other honorary info. Jung offers a final perspec-
tive: “The fact that many of these rooms are still furnished the way they were when Thomas Edison walked through the halls makes it a truly inspiring place to visit.” The site is open year-round, Wednesday through Sunday, 10 a.m.- 4 p.m. Entrance fee is $10, free for youngsters 16 and under. Park Annual Passes are $40. Glenmont Estate, Edison’s nearby home, is closed during the winter.

Atlantic Ambulance Presents Child Safety Seat Inspection Events
O
By Kerry Breen n February 22, Atlantic Ambulance paired with Safe Kids Worldwide for a free, publicly-available car seat inspection. The program, known as Buckle Up, focuses on safety in and around cars. According to Sarah Daplyn, an Atlantic Training Center coordinator, these events are held several times throughout the year in various locations. The event included certified child passenger safety technicians on-site, who were able to help parents properly install their children’s car seats. “We typically hold our inspection events once every other month at the Atlantic Ambulance Air One helicopter base located at 65 Love Lane in Netcong, NJ,” said Daplyn. “Safe Kids holds these types of events all the time in various locations throughout the state.” According to a flyer advertising the event, three out of four car seats are not used correctly. According to the Safe Kids Worldwide website, one million children around the world die of unintentional injuries each year, and millions more are injured; car safety is the greatest cause of preventable deaths and injuries to children
both nationally and globally. “Our sponsored programs and initiatives combine education, awareness, environmental changes, and safety device distribution to get communities more involved in child safety and keep families and children safer,” as state on the site. “We work together with communities in the United States and partners around the world to implement programs that will address the leading causes of injury and injury-related death.” According to the website, similar child car seat events are held throughout the country, not just within the state of New Jersey. Most of the events are open to the public, and can be found in locations such as General Motors dealerships, hospitals, community centers and shopping centers. The Safe Kids company also has more than 125 Mobile Car Seat Checkup Vans operating across the United States. These vans are designed to turn “any parking lot into a full-service child restraint safety event site,” and almost every state has at least one van operating. Throughout the United States, 500 permanent child passenger safety inspection
stations are operated, with regular times and dates available for interested parents and caregivers. Since the Buckle Up program was established in 1997 during a partnership with General Motors Foundation, the program has grown to include four main components. The components included child passenger safety, which addresses car seats, booster seats and seat belts; heatstroke awareness and prevention with a campaign called Never Leave Your Child Alone in a Car; public education on driveway and parking lot injuries known as “frontovers” and “backovers,” which includes another program called Spot the Tot; and “Getting Ready to Drive,” which covers passenger education for preteens and teens before they drive and includes a program called Countdown2Drive, which teaches preteen and young teens about safe driving before they get behind the wheel. The program also works as public policy advocates helping states strengthen their laws regarding child safety in vehicles and drunk driving.

African American History Month Celebrated With Honors
ssex County Executive Joseph N. DiVincenzo, Jr., hosted the 15th Annual African American History Month Celebration at the Essex County Hall of Records on Feb. 28. During the ceremony, the executive presented the Essex County Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. Leadership Award to the Honorable Ras J. Baraka, mayor of Newark, and the Coretta Scott King Leadership Award to Jacqueline Jones, deputy director of the Essex County Office of Human Resources. Both honorees have made significant contributions to the community and their dedication truly captures the dignity and determination of the King family. “African American History Month is a special time of the year when we highlight the many contributions and achievements African Americans have made to our culture, economy and daily lives throughout our history,” DiVincenzo said. “Mayor Baraka has dedicated his life to giving back to the community, first as an educator and principal in the Newark Public Schools and now as Mayor of the state’s largest city and the positive impact he is having can easily be seen.

Shakespeare Theatre To Launch Season With Gala
T
he Shakespeare Theatre of New Jersey in Florham Park launches its 56th season with its 2018 Annual Gala on Saturday, April 7, and will present its rarely bestowed Mighty Quill Award to longtime Board member Richard B. McGlynn at the annual event. In addition to a star-studded cabaret, guests will be able to bid on scores of silent auction offerings that include relaxing getaways, exclusive tickets to Broadway shows, and unique behind-the-scenes experiences. For more information or to purchase tickets, call 973845-6732 or visit www.ShakespeareNJ.org. Thomas Keffer, president of the board of trustees, said, “Rich McGlynn has been a giant in the history of this theater. Behind the scenes, he has worked tirelessly to lift us up by attracting trustees and funding. At our shows, he is always front and center, the first to laugh
and the loudest to applaud. He is a true champion of the art.” McGlynn has served on The Shakespeare Theatre’s Board of Trustees for almost four decades. “I’m deeply honored to receive the Mighty Quill award,’’ he said. “My longtime association with STNJ has brought hours of great theatre, and the joy of working with so many people who make STNJ a rare gem in New Jersey’s cultural crown.” This year’s Gala will include the annual popular cabaret performance that features luminaries from the world of Broadway, film and television, many of whom are Shakespeare Theatre company members. Performers have yet to be announced. The gala is the theater’s largest fundraising event of the year, and welcomes guests to its behind-the-scenes theatre factory for the festivities. Located in Florham Park, the
50,000 square foot building is home to the theater’s administrative, educational, artistic, and technical operations. The evening begins with a reception at 6:30 p.m. Guests will dine, mingle and explore the facility as well as bid on spectacular silent auction offerings, including wine baskets, handcrafted folk art objects, fine art, stage props featured in productions, relaxing getaways, and one-of-a-kind the-
atrical opportunities. At 8:45 p.m., guests are invited into the “Grand Ballroom” for more libations, dessert, and coffee while enjoying the performances of the Cabaret artists. Gala tickets range from $295 to $1,000 per person. A portion of each ticket is tax-deductible to the fullest extent provided by law. For more information or reservations, call 973-845-6732 or visit www. ShakespeareNJ.org.

Local Soccer Coach Raises Funds To Equip Colombian Youth With Soccer Gear And Skills For Better Life
By Cheryl Conway s a soccer player since he was four and coach for the past decade, 26year old Sebastian Castillo-Giraldo’s current goal is to pay it forward and help youth from his native country. Castillo-Giraldo of Wharton has started a Go Fund Me page to purchase training equipment and provide soccer clinics to hundreds of inner city children of Colombia. The children he aims to reach live in the city of Medellin as well as Supia, Caldas, the town he was born. He plans to travel in May for ten days, May 13-May 23, with three of his soccer students and a friend, Marc Reynolds of Succasunna, a photographer/filmmaker who will be documenting the trip. “It’s time I pay it forward to those who are less fortunate and give approximately 300 kids an opportunity to use soccer as a vehicle to improve their lives,” Castillo-Giraldo states on his Go Fund Me site. “The game has allowed me to attend college and has shaped me to be the human I am today.” Castillo-Giraldo grew up in Colombia, during the time of civil war, which had ended in 2016 when the peace treaty was signed, he explains. While conditions were rough, Castillo-Giraldo says “soccer was big in my town.” He started playing at the age of four; continued to play when he came to U.S. with his parents in 1998, in the fourth grade; playing at Morris Hills High School in Rockaway and college, at both County College of Morris in Randolph and the Centenary University in Hackettstown, before becoming a soccer coach 10 years ago. Castillo-Giraldo has been a soccer coach in Mt. Olive, in its camps and premier soccer program; ran the select soccer camps at Morris Hills now called Morris County Summer Select; and has been the first assistant coach for the men’s soccer team at CCM since 2017. Through soccer, “you learn discipline, hard work, determination and team work,” says Castillo-Giraldo, teaching assistant and graduate research assistant at Monmouth University. “Those kids need it,” he says about the children in Colombia, “to help them move up in the ladder of life. “Colombia is a third world country; soccer is a tool to avoid falling into drug use and alcoholism,” he continues on the Go Fund Me page. “It’s a beacon of hope as well as a stimulator to dream big and

achieve success in life. As a world history graduate student at Monmouth University, Castillo-Giraldo is currently writing his master’s thesis on “How Soccer Explains the World.” It was in the first week of December 2017 when Castillo-Giraldo started his Go Fund Me page to help youth in Colombia. A family friend who works for the government in Colombia has identified and connected Castillo-Giraldo with youth teams most in need. Mt. Olive Soccer Club “donated a plethora of new gear,” says Castillo-Giraldo. About 90 percent of its donations are brand new and include uniforms, soccer socks, shorts, sweats, sweaters and jerseys. Kinnelon High School donated some gear as well. Most needed now is the financial support, he says, as his goal is to purchase 200 brand new Adidas balls that cost $3,000. “I can’t have soccer clinics unless I have balls for the kids,” he says. “Balls are really expensive.” The ones he plans to provide are expected to last three to five years and are “ideal for their practices and their games,” he says. Funds will also cover costs for cones and ladders as well as shipping boxes of equipment; soccer clinics for kids with proper training skills; followed my mini-talks to discuss “the power of soccer.” His plan is to help 20 youth teams with
proper equipment and gear. He estimates that the boys and girls will be between the ages of 8 and 15. “I’ll be running clinic and drills,” he says, with two to three practices daily. While cycling is popular in Colombia too, Castillo-Giraldo says the “predominant sport in Colombia is soccer. It’s a passion you learn to love and you hold dear to you. The whole country plays and the whole country watches them, the Colombia National Team, national pride. Even with all the unrest, when our country was being torn to pieces,” he explains how soccer provides a sense of pride “that brings the whole country together.” He now wants to share his love for soccer. “When I was a little kid playing in Colombia, I had great coaches that didn’t know me,” he says. “I think it’s only right to share my knowledge of soccer with those kids so they can move forward. Everyone in my family has played soccer, like it’s in my blood, in my DNA. “Race doesn’t matter, class doesn’t matter, religion doesn’t matter. It’s just the talents and skills each person brings to the table what truly matters.” Reynolds, who met Castillo-Giraldo about seven years ago when he became his eldest son’s soccer coach of Villa at NJ Dynamo, couldn’t agree more and looks continued on page 13

forward to the trip. “I love the game of soccer; I have three sons who play,” says Reynolds. “I believe soccer should be accessible to everyone regardless of income or anything else. I know the happiness it brings and I feel everyone deserves that.” With plans to video their
trip, Reynolds says “it’s about me telling a story. This to me is a story worth telling. It’s about soccer, but it’s more about humanity and giving back. I hope to capture the happiness we bring to the kids that we meet. I also want to capture Sebastian’s big/generous heart.” Donations are still being collected through May 1.

“We need your help to raise as much money as possible to spread as much hope as we can,” says Castillo-Giraldo. He and his fellow travelers will selffund their flights and expenses.

Did You Know?
ccording to the Pet Poison Helpline, hybrid cats were first created in the 1970s as an effort by scientists to study the possible resistance to feline leukemia in wild cats. The goal of this research was to better understand hereditary factors for leukemia and how to combat the disease. The cats bred for this research were ultimately given to people as pets, creating a demand among cat owners attracted to their unique, often exotic looks. While hybrid cats now sold to the general public are no longer considered “wild,” the PPH notes that the largest number of behavioral complaints about
the hybrid cats being bred and sold today concern aggression and refusal to use litter boxes. These behavioral issues compel many hybrid cat owners to turn their cats into shelters, many of which are already overwhelmed by overpopulation. Before purchasing or adopting new cats, prospective cat owners should give ample consideration to the potential behavioral issues associated with hybrid cats and whether or not such cats will fit into their lifestyles, as millions of cats that are returned to shelters are euthanized each year due to lack of adoptive families.

Home Upgrades That Make ‘Cents’
home is often a family’s single largest asset, so making investments with upgrades and home improvements is almost always a good idea. However, knowing when and where to make those improvements isn’t necessarily a simple decision. Budget and space most often dictate the direction, but keeping function and your lifestyle needs in mind can help create a space that makes for an all-around smart investment. Add technology in unexpected places. With the surge in smart devices, it’s becoming increasingly common to add technology throughout the house, and the bathroom is no exception. From heated floors to mirrors with embedded TV screens, the options are plentiful. A bathroom outfitted with the latest technology can bring function and a whole new level of style and elegance to your home. When choosing your upgrades, set a budget and then let your imagination soar to create a spa-like retreat you can experience without ever leaving home. Keep in mind that not all smart devices integrate seamlessly, so do your research before buying to en-
sure a convenient connected setup. Go green for the earth and savings. Appliances and climate control systems are often the first features homeowners consider when it comes to environmentally friendly upgrades, but windows and window treatments are another way to make a big impact. In a similar vein, skylights are a surprisingly affordable upgrade for the functionality and aesthetic benefits they provide, especially in the bathroom and kitchen where ventilation is as important as ample lighting. You can give your lighting and home value a boost with an Energy Star-qualified option such as Velux solar-powered fresh-air skylights, which open for air flow, reducing dependence on electrical lights and fans, with the touch of a programmable remote control. For expanded control over the amount of light and warmth that enters or leaves your rooms, solar-powered skylight blinds are available in more than 100 designer colors and patterns. Like the skylights, Velux solar-powered blinds are operated with the remote. The solar products and installation costs are also eligible for a

Home Upgrades...
continued from page 14 value. For many homes, the basement is the most practical place to gain that space. Instead of using it as a collection ground for dust bunnies and storage, converting it into usable space can bring meaningful value, not only in dollars and cents, but in overall enjoyment of your home. A basement is the perfect location for expanded room to live and entertain, and if you have egress or other windows, adding extra bedrooms may also be an option. When making plans for finishing a basement, keep function first. Adding features like bathrooms can be costly if the plumbing isn’t already in place, but having ready access to those facilities may pay off if you plan to spend lots of time downstairs. Also keep climate in mind; in many parts of the country basements tend to be damp, so be sure to use materials that can withstand the conditions during the rainy season. Create outdoor living space for all year long. If a basement renovation or addition isn’t practical for your location or budget, you may be able to create additional living space in an area you already have – out-

doors. Even small patio spaces can become cozy gathering spots with the right furnishings and decor. For a larger yard, create destinations that make it comfy to congregate, such as a fire pit or grouping of chairs with overstuffed cushions. This is another area where climate will play an important role in your plans; adding a well-constructed enclosure to a patio can make it usable during all but the coldest months, while a pergola or other shading can lend necessary relief to an area that bakes in the summer sun. Aside from the hardscaping, look at other ways to soften your outdoor space and enhance livability, such as functional shade trees and flowering vegetation that attract birds and butterflies. Add curb appeal. While you’re considering the upgrade options outdoors, don’t forget to think about your home’s overall exterior appearance. Not only is it the first impression guests have of your home, it’s your own view every time you pull into the drive and it’s one that should make you proud.

the paint can make a big impact. Adding decorative elements like shutters or new lighting or doors can also update a tired exterior. Choose the Right Skylight Skylights can serve multiple functions, depending on your home and needs. Understanding the different types of skylights can help you choose the right fit. Fresh Air Solar-powered fresh-air skylights rely on the sun’s energy to open and bring air and natural light into your home. Some models, such as those offered by Velux, feature a rain sensor that automatically closes the skylight at the first sign of precipitation. Fixed An economical choice, these static skylights are intended to fill a room with natural light. Energy Performance Adding a solar blind to a skylight can result in more savings via potential tax credits, as well as reduced energy usage. The blind blocks heat, but when open allows warm rays to supplement the home’s heating system.

Find Out the Truth About Tap Water

hile the tap water you drink may look clean, it may contain harmful contaminants like lead, pesticides and industrial pollutants. These and others may be picked up on the journey from your water treatment plant through miles of pipes to your home. To help clear up any misconceptions about what’s really in your water, the experts at PUR offer this myth-busting advice: Myth: Living close to a fresh water source makes tap water safer to drink. Truth: Even if you live close to a fresh water source, your water goes on a long journey
through an often aging infrastructure before it reaches your tap. According to Environmental Health & Engineering, Inc., up to 10 million lead service lines are still in use in the country today, potentially allowing lead particles to enter into your water. Myth: The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) regulates all contaminants. Truth: There are about 100,000 potential contaminants in drinking water. According to the EPA, its Safe Drinking Water Act only regulates 103. That means water that meets the government’s safe drinking

standards may not meet yours. Myth: All water filters are created equal. Truth: While both pitcher and faucet filters remove unwanted contaminants, a faucet filter is usually a step up from a pitcher because it has a longer life and can remove even more contaminants, including lead. As every brand is different, it’s important to check the types of contaminants each filter removes and confirm it is certified by NSF and the Water Quality Association for contamination reduction. Doing so can help you get the healthiest, cleanest tasting water possible. Myth: You can determine if tap water is safe to drink by how it looks, smells and tastes. Truth: While your water might look, smell and taste clean, it could contain contaminants that are potentially harmful to your health, like
lead, which is colorless, odorless and has no taste. “Knowing what’s in the water you drink and cook with is important, but determining the quality of your local water supply can seem daunting,” said Keri Glassman, registered dietitian, nutritionist and PUR spokesperson. “Fortunately, there’s a free online resource called KnowYourWater.com that allows users to type in any address to easily learn about lead and other possible contaminants in their water.” Myth: Boiling water removes lead. Truth: Boiling water may reduce bacteria found in the water, but will not remove lead. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, the lead concentration of water can actually increase slightly when water is boiled because some of the water evaporates during the boiling

7 Tips For Managing Diabetes
taying healthy can be a challenge, especially for those living with diabetes. Everyone can have conflicts finding the right balance of partaking in healthy habits, such as exercise, eating well and even keeping your teeth and gums clean. From stress to self-care, life can be up and down when you’re living with diabetes. These seven tips from Dr. Natalie Strand, the winner of season 17 of “The Amazing Race” who lives with diabetes herself, can help you stay healthy and lead a balanced life while managing your diabetes. Communicate with your care team. Make sure you connect with your nurse educator, endocrinologist and dietician. Reach out to them with your questions as they can often help you implement subtle changes to avoid completely overhauling your lifestyle and routine because of diabetes. Get involved. Get a local group together to fundraise, vent or just understand each other. Groups such as Diabetes Sisters, JDRF, TuDiabetes and BeyondType1 offer ways to connect with others living with diabetes in person or on social media. Con-
necting with the diabetes community can be a powerful way to help ease the burden of living with diabetes. Keep doing what you love. Just because you have diabetes doesn’t mean you have to give up doing what you love. Make efforts to continue sports, travel and other hobbies, even if there is a learning curve to adapting with diabetes at first. Maintain good oral health. People living with diabetes are two times more likely to develop gum disease, according to the Centers for Disease Control. Colgate Total toothpaste is FDA-approved to help reverse and prevent gingivitis, an early form of gum disease. Get into a routine. Find a routine that works and stick with it. This way you don’t have to make new decisions each day. Anything that can ease the mental burden of diabetes can help. For example, pick a time each year for your annual visits: eye doctor, endocrinologist, renew prescriptions, etc. Picking the same time of year every year can help ensure you don’t forget to take care of yourself. Make self-care a priority. It can be hard
to keep diabetes care in the forefront. It can be boring, exhausting and also fade into the background. Remind yourself that one of the best things you can do for yourself, and for your loved ones, is stay healthy. Use your family as motivation to exercise daily, eat better-for-you foods and maintain a healthy weight. Manage stress. Diabetes can be a big stressor. Add jobs, kids, relationships and it can become overwhelming. Find an easy and effective tool for stress relief and do it often. Even 5-10 minutes of guided meditation daily can have a big impact on stress management.
