Lincoln Park Food Pantry Serves Community With Healthier Food Options

By Anya Bochman he Lincoln Park Food Pantry has been serving the residents of the borough and its localities for more than 30 years, and is currently assisting approximately 72 families. And while the pantry functions as a regular food service for the community, it is unique in several ways. Jacqueline Castaneda, the coordinator of the pantry, was hired by the Lincoln Park Health Department in May. After recently achieving significant weight loss through better diet, Castaneda became committed to improving the nutritional value of the food available at the pantry. Over the summer, she had asked for donations of fresh produce from local gardeners, as well as used part of the pantry’s grant money to purchase fresh fruit and vegetables. “The health department had donated

tower gardens to schools, so this week I’m going to call them to ask about abundance of herbs and vegetables,” Castaneda said. “It helps the kids, also, as they love to get involved.” The pantry is supported in part by Wakefern Food Corporation, which gives grants to the Community FoodBank of New Jersey. The funds are then used by local food pantries to purchase supplies. The rest of the donations are contributions from the community, both individuals and organizations. In addition to its dedication to healthier eating, the Lincoln Park Food Pantry is one of the few pantries that give out fresh meat. Robbin’s Ice Company in Lincoln Park stores the meat in its freezers, which contributes to the idea of the pantry’s be-

ing a community effort. “The churches help out, as well as the dozen pantry volunteers who package and distribute the food – they really go above and beyond,” Castaneda said. “It’s a group effort.” Abundant Life Worship Center is one of the religious organizations that is helping the pantry with toys, clothes and gift cards this Christmas for children in need. Local Boy and Girl Scout troops are also assisting with food and gift distribution for Thanksgiving and Christmas. According to Castaneda, the pantry currently has an abundance of turkeys for both holidays, which are being stored by Robbin’s Ice. Items that the pantry still needs to service families for Thanksgiving continued on page 2

Additionally, regular donations of canned goods, cereals, cookies, packaged foods, dish detergent, aluminum foil, food baggies, laundry detergent, soap, toothpaste, toothbrushes, shampoo, deodorant, tissues, paper towels, toilet paper and feminine hygiene products are always welcome, as are monetary contributions. The donated goods must be non-perishable and non-expired. Eligibility for assistance is based on income and family size, although Castaneda points out that the pantry provides temporary help to anyone who needs it. The pantry refers to the families it services as “clients;” Castaneda explained

that former clients are often eager to help out after they achieve financial stability. She is particularly touched by an incident she recounts in which a woman who had been helped by the pantry after losing power during a hurricane gave back 19 bags of donated goods. “We don’t turn anyone away, really,” said Castaneda. “Some assistance is based on temporary need, and oftentimes recipients want to give back when they are doing better.” Those in need of assistance can download a food pantry application form at www.lincolnpark.org/186/Food-Pantry and send a completed one to the Food Pantry via email, regular mail or by dropping it off at the Lincoln Park Clerk’s Office.

Make Your Child A Tax Free Millionaire

Even better, while contributions to Roth IRA’s must be after-tax contributions, any earnings are TAX-FREE as long as the rules are followed! Simple to say, but how do you get $25,000 into a child’s Roth IRA? Here are some tips. Tips to achieve the goal • Hire your child. Roth IRA contributions are limited to the amount of income your child earns, so earned income is key. If

Why it works Compounding interest occurs when interest is earned on the interest generated from the initial contribution. The more time the investment has to grow, the more exponential growth will occur. By starting to save prior to graduating from high school, the in-

Consider this: The million dollar idea As soon as your child begins to earn income, open a Roth IRA and set a contribution goal to reach before they graduate from high school.

Summer jobs, internships and part-time jobs during the school year can produce a consistent income flow to contribute to the Roth IRA and still provide spending money. • Parent or grandparent matching idea. The income earned by your child doesn’t have to be directly contributed by them to the Roth IRA – it simply sets

Baby sitting, yard work, walking pets, shoveling, and lawn work are all good ideas to get your child earning some income at a younger age. Cash based income is harder to prove, so don’t forget to keep track of the income and consider filing a tax return, even if not

Tips On Caring For Disabled Dogs

og disabilities could be a result of illness, physical injury or accidents. Just because your dog is disabled, it should not stop you from enjoying its company. As a dog owner, it is your responsibility to help the dog live a normal life and cope with the situation. Below are a few tips to keep your dog happy and healthy, even with its disability. Assist their movements. Dogs who suffer from mobility problems, such as hip dysplasia, arthritis, spinal disorders, DM in dogs (degenerative myelopathy) or other medical problems that affects their hind legs will need plenty of help moving around. To make things easier for you

and the dog, you can buy a special leash that supports its torso and back legs. There are also other tools that assist in mobility problems, such as dog wheelchairs that can be strapped to its back. If you are

going to take the dog out to the vet, you will need to carry it into the car since it might have a hard time getting in. You can also use a small and improvised ramp that will help it walk into the car.

Watch their weight. Like humans, overweight dogs have a higher chance of getting sick compared to dogs that stay within their ideal weight. Exercise and a balanced diet are the only things you really need to worry about when it comes to your dog’s weight. Make sure it gets the right amount of exercise by taking it out for walks or jogs. You can also let it run around in an open area like your backyard, front lawn or park. Never overfeed or underfeed your dog. Use a good dog food mix or you can feed them meat that you prepared. Check with your vet about your dog’s continued on page 11

continued from page 10 ideal weight and the best type of diet you can give it. Regular visits to the doctor. Visiting the vet regularly helps you and your dog’s doctor track the dog’s condition and see if it’s improving or not. By going to the vet, you can detect any problems and stop them before they develop even further. The vet can also advise you on medical procedures and other remedies that can help or cure your dog. They can also offer medical screening for some genetic illnesses like DM in dogs. Talk to your dog. Talking to your dog is actually a form of therapy for the both of you. Massage and gently rub its

fur and spend some time with it. Sometimes, human touch works better and is more calming and relaxing compared to any other type of medication. Courtesy pet-articles.blogspot.com.

Borough Introduces ‘Recycle Coach’ To Simplify Recyclables Collection

By Julie Ross here are executive coaches, exercise coaches, and life coaches. But in Lincoln Park, there is another type of coach. The borough has partnered with Recycle Coach, a program promoted as helping communities to “work together to waste less and recycle more” using “digital tools and print solutions” that “lower recycling barriers” by making it easier for residents to remember recyclable collection schedules and clarifying which items may be recycled and when. Under terms of the partnership, Lincoln Park residents will have access to Recycle Coach in software or app form, free of charge. “We’ve introduced Recycle Coach so residents don’t have to worry about garbage and recycling—simple as that,” said a supervisor at the Lincoln Park Department of Public Works. Recycle Coach provides each resident with personalized collection and event calendars that indicate on which dates various recyclable materials and items will be collected. The calendar function can be

synched with any calendar on any device of users’ choosing. Users can also set custom collection reminders so that they do not forget to place the proper bins outside for pickup. Reminders are available by “push” notification, through SMS (text) voice or via email. Users need only indicate by which method they want to receive the reminders, and how far in advance they should be delivered. Additionally, Recycle Coach offers a “What goes where?” tool. The tool is designed to provide disposal information for more than 10,000 household items. Residents can find out whether these items are accepted for recycling in Lincoln Park and into which recycling bin they should be placed. If an item is not accepted for any regular collection in the borough, the tool indicates where it may be dropped off for disposal. Recycle Coach also assists residents with collection requirements so that their trash is not rejected at pickup time. Collection requirements are specified for all items included in the “What goes where?” tool, including set-out times, weight or volume restrictions, and any other rules that

apply to trash and recyclables disposal in the borough. Finally, the software and app eliminate concern about whether collection day will be cancelled because of a storm or other occurrences, as well as about missing special collection events. Users will receive real-time notifications and up-to-date information about trash and recycling collection postponements and cancellations. Recycle Coach also automatically issues alerts about upcoming community waste and recycling events centered on items that are not picked up during regular recycling runs, such as unwanted or broken electronics, appliances, paint, and bulk files. Recycle Coach is available on multiple platforms and devices, including Amazon Alexa and Google Assistant. Apple mobile device users can download the app from the App Store, and Android mobile device users can do the same via Google Play.

Michael Cahill, Gayle Neufeld, Tia Henderson, Timothy Burklow

anther Pride was clearly evident at a recent dinner celebrating the achievements of five outstanding graduates of Pequannock Township High School. These highly successful graduates were the most recent former students to be inducted into the PTHS Hall of Fame. From a group of noteworthy candidates, the five were selected after a careful review of the accomplishments of all the nominees by the Hall of Fame Committee. The selection committee considered candidates who exemplify leadership, scholarship, character and service, and chose from a wide variety of fields those who had made outstanding contributions. Each candidate was introduced by someone who had sponsored them or knew them well and, following this, each spoke about their lives and careers. The first honoree was Col. Tia E. Henderson, commander of the Education Support Squadron, Air University, Maxwell Air Force Base, Ala. A 1992 PTHS graduate, Henderson attended the United States Air Force Academy., got married and has two children.

She has served in a variety of command, joint, and staff positions throughout her career in the Air Force. She is currently responsible for a diverse squadron of professionals who provide support in multiple ways to 32,000 students in Air University’s Officer Professional Military Education colleges and academic research centers. Prior to her current assignment, she was the military assistant to the assistant secretary of defense for readiness, based at the Pentagon, Washington, D.C. Professor Michael T. Cahill was the next to be honored. Following high school graduation, Cahill received a B.A. from Yale University and J.D. and M.P.P. degrees from the University of Michigan, graduating magna cum laude and working on the Michigan Law Review. With a career focusing on Criminal Law, Cahill was both associate dean and vice dean at Brooklyn Law School. Married and the father of two he joined the Rutgers Law School faculty in July 2016, where he is co-dean and a professor of law. As evidence of the wide-ranging career choic-

Pequannock Alum Honored... continued from page 14 marine ecological research projects, some of which were part of the Census of Marine Life, a decade-long research initiative consisting of 540 expeditions conducted by scientists from 80 countries. Currently working as a research analyst with the Alaska Department of Fish and Game, she most recently developed a methodology to combine western science with traditional ecology of Native peoples to study the ecology of large migratory animal populations. Some students are outstanding in high school and continue to be so in their careers. Such a student was Timothy Burklow, a standout in high school and president of the class of 1987, as well as captain of football and wrestling. Burklow has achieved noteworthy success in the field of business and is owner and managing director of Mindful Wealth Management. He has been recognized by New Jersey Magazine’s Five Star Wealth Managers, Reuters Advice Top Advisors, and Barron’s Top Advisory Teams. He has also given

back to his church and community in multiple ways, including serving as an advisory board member to the Fred J. Brotherton Charitable Foundation, as vice-chair of the Jacksonville Chapel Board of Elders, and in a variety of areas for Rutgers University. It was when Kathy Groener Sturla’s youngest son, Jim, a member of the U.S. Marine Corps, was badly wounded in Iraq, that she first became aware of the needs of both members of the military and their families. Sturla, a lifelong resident of Pequannock Township and a 1969 graduate of PTHS, experienced, along with her family, life-changing episodes as son Jim began the long road to recovery. During that time, they were given a donation towards expenses by the Marines’ Semper Fi Fund; it was a gift to be used for their immediate needs. She and her daughter-in-law were so inspired by the Semper Fi Fund that, once home, they began discussing ways in which they, too, could raise money for military families in need.

dom Fund” was formed. With the first event, a beefsteak dinner, being held in 2005, the fund has continued to raise money for the last 13 years in multiple ways. As a result, they have been able to distribute over $1.5 million to wounded military and their families. She fields heart-wrenching phone calls, makes hospital visits and arranges for flights, hotel stays and dinners — in short, she does everything she can to help wounded heroes. The Pequannock Township Hall of Fame induction ceremony is held every two years. The next dinner will be held in 2020 and the nominating committee would welcome hearing about the achievements of other outstanding alumni. Nominations and resumes may be sent to Brian Silipena, assistant principal, at Pequannock Township High School, 85 Sunset Road, Pompton Plains, N.J., 07444.

Make Power Tool Safety Part Of Your Remodeling Plan

hen it’s time to take on a new project, both DIY-inclined homeowners and contractors alike must consider many components to successfully complete the task, from design plans and materials to the proper tools needed. For simple projects like installing new light fixtures as well as more complicated projects such as refurbishing an outdated bathroom, power tools can be helpful throughout the process. Once all the items on the checklist are accounted for and there’s a plan in place, the next step to consider is an important one: safety. While obvious concepts like electrical safety are typically followed without hesitation, some crucial details don’t receive the same caution, such as safe handling of batteries. Many cordless power tools use lithium-ion batteries for improved efficiency, energy storage capacity, durability, versatility and portability, but they need to be handled properly. Prior to operating a battery-powered tool, consider these tips from the experts at the Power Tool Institute, a leading voice on power tool safety issues and standards for the industry. Selection and Use: • Lithium-ion batteries pack more energy than prior technologies, which means they can do more work, but there’s also greater potential for damage when misused.

• Batteries are not interchangeable, so it’s important to only use batteries and chargers from the original power tool manufacturer. • Original manufacturer batteries are engineered to communicate and work with specific tools and chargers. These components, as a system, also go through a rigorous certification and testing process – a requirement that doesn’t typically apply to third-party batteries. • Substandard aftermarket and counterfeit batteries may come with additional hazards that result in fire, property damage or personal injury. • If a battery is damaged, do not use it. • Never immerse your tool, battery pack or charger in fluid or allow a fluid to enter it, including corrosive or conductive fluids, such as seawater, certain industrial chemicals and bleach or products containing bleach. Fluid entry can increase the chances of short-circuiting, which comes with risks of overheating, fire or explosion that can lead to personal injury and property damage. Transportation and Disposal: • Always transport and store lithium-ion batteries as instructed in the owner’s manual. • Avoid contact with metal objects, such as keys, coins, screws, nails and liquids. • When disposing a lithium-ion battery, take it to a local recycling center or place

Simple Home Renovations - 5 Projects That Improve Resale Value

ven if you have no immediate plans for leaving your home, it’s a good idea to approach renovations with resale value in mind. Upgrades that are likely to appeal to future buyers protect your investment while also improving your enjoyment of the home. One key to a successful renovation is figuring out how to personalize the space without making it so customized that it’s not attractive to other potential owners. For example, eliminating a bedroom to create a giant walk-in closet may help achieve your dreams, but losing that bedroom can be a major hit to your home’s value. A good rule of thumb is to focus on aesthetics when it comes to integrating more of your personal tastes, because these can be easily changed with a coat of paint or minor work. However, that doesn’t mean you can’t make other, more significant changes to enhance your home. These renovation ideas – which include both cosmetic touch-ups and more labor-intensive suggestions – can help boost your home’s value. Open space Older homes were often designed with a boxy, formal layout that is less conducive to most modern families’ needs. Today’s open floor plans offer functionality for everything from keeping an eye on the kids while making dinner to entertaining guests. This type of floor plan can also make small rooms feel larger and invite more light into darker parts of the house. The most cost-effective way to create an open space is to remove non-load-bearing walls (load bearing walls help support the roof; while they can be removed there’s typically quite a bit more time, labor

and expense involved). Removing a wall may not be that complicated unless you encounter plumbing or HVAC ductwork that needs to be relocated. You’ll likely have some electrical outlets to move, and both the floor and ceiling will need attention to remove lingering signs of the former wall. Color change Although paint is one of the easiest ways to personalize your home, it’s also one of the least expensive, simplest ways to improve its value and appearance. A fresh coat of paint, inside or out, can create an appealing illusion of newness no matter the age of your home. For maximum resale value, stick to neutral tones so future buyers can focus on envisioning the place as their own, without the distraction of your own vibrant choices. If you don’t like the thought of boring beige, consider adding accent walls for pops of color that can be easily changed down the road. Climate comfort Not every aspect of home improvement is visible at first glance like a fresh coat of paint; some value-boosting upgrades are more behind the scenes. One example is climate management. If you renovate a space that needs better climate control, or if you add a new room where extending the existing ductwork is impractical, a split-ductless HVAC system may be the perfect solution. The ductless design saves HVAC contractors time during installation, therefore saving homeowners money. An option like Mitsubishi Electric’s MLZ One-Way Ceiling Cassette fits between standard 16-inch ceiling joists, eliminating the need for more complicated construction. The sleek, narrow-body design can be easily installed in existing homes and new construction

projects. Additionally, these ceiling cassettes can be serviced from directly beneath the unit itself without an access panel, further eliminating the need to modify the surrounding area which can also provide significant cost savings on installation. Learn more at mitsubishicomfort.com. Adjustable lighting A room’s ambiance can be completely transformed with lighting. For multi-purpose rooms, an option like dimmer switches lets you customize the lighting to fit the use, which can vary throughout the day. A well-lit living room is essential for a large gathering or a small group gathered for game night. That same space can be equally inviting for an intimate conversation or a casual movie night with the lights turned down low. One of the best parts is minimal experience is needed

to swap out standard switches for the more versatile dimmers. Plus, in today’s technology-driven world, there’s an app for seemingly everything – including lighting. Homeowners can control the ambiance from their phones by installing smart lightbulbs and lighting strips. Grunge-free garage Even though a garage’s functionality is the top concern for most buyers, a dingy, unkempt space can be a real turn-off. One way to instantly brighten and refresh the space is an epoxy coating on the floor. Applying the coating is relatively easy and once dry it helps prevent unsightly stains and damage in the future. Combine that with a thorough sweeping, wiping down walls and other surfaces, and organizing the clutter to create a more inviting space you can utilize to the fullest.

Realty Executives Announces Top Realtors

oug Radford, President of Realty Executives Exceptional Realtors® recently announced the following Realtors who were acknowledged for their outstanding achievements in the month of October. In the Butler/Kinnelon Branch Office, located at 1234 Route 23 North the office Top Listing Agent was Realtor Associate Patrick Taylor; the office

Top Producing Agent was Realtor Associate Lisa Molnar; and the office Spotlight Agent was Realtor Associate Lindsey Kehr. In the Pompton Plains Branch Office, located at 363 Route 23 South, Realtor Associate Rhonda Lipson was the Top Producing Agent; the office Top Listing Agent was Realtor Associate Diane McCrostie; and the office Top Selling Agent was Realtor Associate Catherine

Did You Know?

ccording to the State of the Nation’s Housing 2018 report from the Joint Center for Housing Studies of Harvard University, nearly half of all renters are paying more than 30 percent of their income on housing. The report also noted that, between 1990 and 2016, national median rent rose 20 percent faster than overall inflation. That’s likely one reason why many people within the United States are leaving behind states that have traditionally been associated with high costs of living. An analysis of data from Realtor. com found that many Americans are leaving states with high costs of living, high taxes and lagging job markets in favor

of places with more affordable costs of living. After examining data from the U.S. Census Bureau and using its own search data of homes across the nation, Realtor.com found that the state of New York had the highest negative net migration in the United States. That means more people were leaving the state of New York to live elsewhere than any other state in the country. Cost of living no doubt drives much of that migration, as a survey from the Council for Community and Economic Research found that, in the first quarter of 2018, New York was the third most expensive state to live in the United States, behind only Hawaii and California.

Coppola. The team of Broker Associate Donna Monarque and Realtor Associate Pamela Alheidt was named the Top Listing Team, and the team of Realtor Associates Judi Dudgeon and Kelly Florio was the office Top Selling Team.

“We are fortunate to have such professional Agents associated with our company. Congratulations to all on a fantastic month,” states Radford. For more information on these agents, visit www.RealtyExecutives.com.
