By Steve Sears he Bloomingdale Fire Department Chemical Company #1 is holding its first Cornhole Tournament on Friday, Nov. 30, at 6:30 p.m. John D’Amato and his son Bryan, both firefighters with Bloomingdale Fire Department Chemical Company #1, are seeking 40 teams for the tournament.

event,” he says. “The story of it [the idea for the tourney] is I had a barbeque in my backyard,” he explains. “It was a family barbeque and we did a tournament of our own, a friendly thing. So, my son Bryan said, ‘This would be a really neat fundraiser for the fire department. We could do that and get a bunch of teams in.’ So, that’s really where it started, and we ran with it,” explains D’Amato. Cornhole, which was invented by Heylinger de Windt in 1883 and is popular in North America and Europe, resembles horseshoes, with a board on each side and a center hole. Each competitor gets an equal amount of bean bags, which they tempt to toss into the hole. D’Amato further explains. “When you get the bean bag in the hole it’s three points, and if you land on the board it’s one point,” he says. “You play to 21 like you do in horseshoes, and that’s pretty much the gist of it. It’s just a

fun game that anyone can play. The idea is to have a great night out and have fun.” The evening of the 30th will be a double elimination competition with 10 sets of boards set up, indoor at the fireman’s hall at 97 Hamburg Turnpike. “It will be a double elimination tournament until we get down to the last two and we’ll go from there,” he says. Hot dogs with fixings and French fries, prepared by the firemen, and tap beer and soda will be served during the evening. D’Amato also adds as a close that the Bloomingdale Fire Department is always looking for good, dedicated people to join. “It’s very rewarding to give back to the community you live in,” he says. Anyone interested in becoming a member can stop down any Monday night at 7 p.m. at the Union Avenue firehouse and see the chief (Tony Marciano) for more information.” For more information on the Cornhole Tournament, call (973) 725-6710 or (973) 592-2726.

Choose To Shine As Bloomingdale Recognizes Bully Prevention Month

By Dawn M. Chiossi xtremely concerned about the issue of bullying, Bloomingdale recently recognized the month of October as Bully Prevention Month. Over at the Bloomingdale Free Public Library in conjunction with Elisa DiChristina, MSW, LCSW, Owner of “Glow Kids,” and Author of “Are You a Glow Kid?” sponsored their recent program, “Choose To Shine” on Friday, Oct. 26 at 6 p.m. Held at the Bloomingdale Senior Center, children of all ages and their parents were invited to hear author Elisa DiChristina read her book, “Are You a Glow Kid?,” a storybook program for positive youth development. Seeking to empower pre and elementary school children, the story and program encourages children to develop positive life skills, insights and character development while appreciating individuality. The program

strives for them to develop a healthy self-concept and life perspective. Choose to Shine is filled with positive messages such as: “You have a voicespeak out; you have a choicechoose kindness; and stand united against bullying.” According to Children’s Library Coordinator Linda Bennett, the program is about teaching children to radiate light, teaching coping skills, being proactive, taking confident stands against bullying rather than being reactive. In addition, the program also encourages parents to become involved as well, empowering them, giving them advice for proactive discussions on the issue as bullying as well. The Bloomingdale program featured the author reading, break out session for parents and kids, and book reading discussions. Additionally, kids had the opportunity to have a snack

and make a craft, showing how they are glow kids. Police were additionally on hand to answer questions. The “Choose to Shine” program was developed to help enhance Bloomingdale’s Stigma Free community, and they were thrilled with the turnout and response. “It was a wonderful program,” Bennett says, praising all the efforts of everyone involved. In particular she mentions Bloomingdale Superintendent Robert Mooney and Det. Steven Smith, and the library community itself. The idea for “Choose to

Shine,” came from Bennett, and her strong desire to help make a difference. “I knew the month of October was Bully Prevention Month, and also our town has been very active in the anti-stigma campaign as outlined by our mayor,” she tells. Bennett explains that she reached out to owner of Glow Kids and author DiChristina, having several meetings with her to put the program together. Passionate regarding the issue of bullying and helping others, Bennett relates, “The school readings I did last year continued on page 4 100% Mailed, Bi-Weekly Newspaper 1 Old Wolfe Road Budd Lake, NJ 07828

Bully Prevention Month... continued from page 2 (once a month to the two elementary schools) focused on Bully Free, Anti-Stigma, Fill Your Bucket with Kindness, and Sharing Is Caring themes. The same themes are being carried through this year.” Bennett shares that she has been posting on three separate Facebook pages in her area. “Each day I try to post a different anti-bullying poster with an invitation to the program,” she says. “I guess the reason why I was so adamant about a program is due to the fact that a young boy from my hometown committed suicide last month due to bullying,” she shares candidly. “I try

so hard to enforce the whole bully prevention theme in schools, during my story times and programs at the library.” For the kids out there, this program seems to be working. Bennett shares just how affected she became when she looked at one of the participant’s crafts. “This little boy drew himself with only one eye as he had been pounded and injured by a bully,” she explains. “It shows that the kids really get it, much more than we as adults give them credit for. With empowering programs like these, to start a dialogue, they can accomplish so much.”

Make Your Child A Tax Free Millionaire

to graduating from high school, the investment will have almost fifty years of compounding growth. 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

If you can bump that up to a $25,000 investment before graduation, at retirement it will be worth $1 million! 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

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. Assuming an eight percent expected rate of return, the investments made by age 19 will grow to FORTY times its value by the time they reach 67 (cur-

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

If you own your own business or even make some money on the side, consider hiring your child to help with cleaning the office, filing or other tasks they can handle. • Look for acceptable young age work ideas. 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

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.

Atlantic Neurosurgical Specialists Joins Horizon Blue Cross Blue Shield Of New Jersey’s Network Of Physicians

he largest neurosurgical practice in New Jersey, ANS now makes best-inclass medical care more widely available to patients throughout the state Atlantic NeuroSurgical Specialists (ANS), the largest neurosurgery practice in New Jersey with a newly opened office in Pompton Plains, has joined Horizon Blue Cross Blue Shield of New Jersey’s (Horizon BCBSNJ) network of physicians. Horizon BCBSNJ has the largest network of doctors in the state. “With the widespread occurrences of traumatic brain and spine injuries, stroke and

other neurovascular incidents – and as increasing numbers of patients require expert neurosurgical care – we are now making our medical expertise more widely available to patients throughout New Jersey,” explains Ronald P. Benitez, MD, president of ANS. “As one of the most advanced practices in the country, we have always led the way with game-changing brain, spine and neurovascular care. Now, we’re changing the game again by making that care more easily accessible and affordable to all Horizon BCBSNJ members.” Since its founding in 1958,

ANS has specialized in the diagnosis and treatment of disorders affecting the nervous system – the delicate and complex command, control and communication network in the body that comprises the brain, spine and neurovascular system. ANS focuses on innovative treatments that don’t necessarily involve surgery. And when they do – and it’s possible – pioneering minimally invasive treatment strategies are used. “We are pleased that ANS has joined Horizon’s provider network, giving our members another option for high-qual-

ity, affordable neurosurgical, brain and spine care,” said Robert J. Franzoi, Vice President for Healthcare Management at Horizon BCBSNJ. “Horizon is leading the transformation of health care in New Jersey to improve quality, affordability and the patient experience, and ANS has demonstrated a commitment to achieving those goals. Working together, Horizon and ANS are making sure our members get the care they need.” For more information on ANS, visit ansdocs.com or call 973-285-7800.

How Access To Health Care Coverage Can Improve Academic Outcomes

ith each school year, parents dust off their annual checklists that help them organize their needs as their kids head back to the classroom. This school season, make sure one priority at the top of your to-do list is ensuring your children have health insurance. According to the Kaiser Family Foundation, studies have shown that children who have health coverage miss fewer classes and perform better in school than those who are uninsured. With the proper health coverage, children can get the immunizations, checkups, eye exams, dental visits and preventive care they may need to fully participate in school and remain engaged both in the classroom and extracurricular activities. In fact, millions of children and teens already qualify for free or low-cost health and dental coverage through Medicaid and the Children’s Health Insurance Program (CHIP). These programs can help those who qualify get the coverage

they need to excel in the classroom. To help ensure their kids make the grade, parents need to first do their homework when it comes to health coverage. To make sure you have assessed your coverage options, keep in mind these health care coverage questions and answers: What do Medicaid and CHIP cover? Medicaid and CHIP provide comprehensive coverage for children and teens nationwide who qualify. This includes routine check-ups, doctor visits, prescriptions and immunizations, dental and vision care, and emergency services, all at little or no cost to you or your family. How do I know if my child is eligible? In most states, children and teens up to age 19 are eligible to enroll. Depending on your income, many families qualify for free or low-cost health coverage. Once enrolled, how long is my child eligible for coverage?

Children and teens can stay covered for as long as they qualify. You’ll need to renew their coverage once a year. How do I apply? You can apply in person with your state’s Medicaid or CHIP agency or visit the “Find Coverage for Your Family” section on InsureKidsNow.gov. For more information, call 1-877-KIDSNOW (1-877-543-7669). When can I apply for enrollment? Since there is no special open enrollment period for Medicaid or CHIP, you can enroll at any time. While the window for academic enrollment

only comes once a semester, the opportunity to apply for enrollment in Medicaid and CHIP is open to parents and their children year-round. Many families like yours connect their children to vital health services through Medicaid and CHIP. For more information, and to learn about the coverage options available for you and your family, visit InsureKidsNow.gov or call 1-877-KIDS-NOW (1-877-5437669).

l a n n i n g health-conscious New Year’s resolutions typically includes cutting back on unhealthy foods during meals from breakfast to dinner. However, it’s also important to cut out sugary, calorie-laden snacks that can counteract all your hard work throughout the rest of the day. Rather than skipping snacks entirely, it’s possible to instead incorporate nutritious options that pack protein to help you recharge without going overboard on calories, sodium and sugars. Opt for quick bites like Baked White Bean and Artichoke Dip paired with light, crunchy, low-sugar crackers to get the fuel you need between meals. This snack idea can be especially filling yet nutritious when you dip with an option like gluten-free, nonGMO Crunchmaster Protein Snack Crackers, made with wholesome ingredients crafted to fit healthy, active lifestyles. With five grams of plantbased protein per serving, the cholesterol-free crackers

Smarter Snacking With Nutrition In Mind can aid in providing energy without unnecessary sugars.

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.

5 Easy Ways To Add Colorful Curb Appeal

efore the dull and dreary days of winter set in, you still have plenty of time to update your home’s curb appeal with pops of color that add a cheerful touch to offset the oncoming gray weather. Get a Step Up with Railings Chipped, tired railings can make a home look outdated and unkempt, but making those pieces look new again is a relatively quick and easy project. If paint has chipped or there’s damage to the wood or metal,

you’ll need to sand and repair before adding fresh paint. Keeping the railing monochromatic in a color that complements the rest of the house’s paint and trim creates a clean look. If you want to add some variety, use a secondary shade in the same color family and apply it to the main posts or the spindles. Create DIY Doormats The entry is a focal point of most homes, so sprucing up the front of your house can make a big impact. An affordable and

unique way to create a “wow” moment is to craft a DIY doormat with spray paint. A chevron pattern is an

easy way to make a statement by simply using painter’s tape and two different colors of spray paint. Consider an option like Krylon ColorMaster Paint and Primer – 25% More, which comes in 60 colors for indoor and outdoor use and offers more product to perfect your project. Put the Spotlight on Light Fixtures Small splashes of color can go a long way, especially with a feature like exterior light fixtures. For safety purposes, it’s a good idea to remove the fixture completely before starting your project, and be sure to turn off the power supply before disconnecting electrical cords. For light fixtures to stand out against a neutral-colored home, try spray painting them a bold hue,

such as bright yellow, for a burst of color. Pretty Up Planters A pot filled with vibrant blooms is an easy way to bring some brightness to your home’s exterior, but one alternative that works year-around is to make the planters themselves the focal point. You can update any planter or pot with the right spray paint, like Krylon Fusion All-In-One Paint and Primer, which adheres to plastic, metal, wood and more. It provides a high-quality finish resistant to rust and fading without the need for sanding or priming. After your planter is dry, you can fill it with the vegetation of your choice, such as evergreens, which are hardy enough to last all season long. Refresh Patio Fur-

niture Over time, patio furniture loses its luster. If it’s still in good shape, you can bring it back to life with a fresh coat of spray paint. All the angles can make it difficult to cover every surface, so choose a product that promotes easy application, like Krylon COLORmaxx Paint and Primer. Available in a wide variety of colors, it features a big push-button spray tip for application in any direction, including upside-down. Remember to tilt furniture back and apply color to the feet and legs for an all-over finish that’s ready to weather the season.

atchdog organizations like the Better Business Bureau warn against donating to charities over the telephone, but reports indicate that fraudsters are still utilizing robocalls to great effect as they prey on donors’ generous natures. According to the Federal Trade Commission, consumers report losing hundreds of millions of dollars a year to robocalls, a scam used by perpetrators of fraud in which donations to bogus charities are solicited over the phone. While some people may be surprised to learn such scams are still effective, a report from YouMail, a free robocall-blocking service, sheds some light on just how common robocalls are. According to YouMail, in July 2018, 1,591 robocalls

were placed every second. That means roughly 137.5 million such calls are made every day. And the people behind these calls are very clever, sometimes using famous people’s actual voices to convince innocent people of a bogus charity’s legitimacy. In 2017, the Connecticut Better Business Bureau issued a warning about robocalls using the voices of celebrities. The warning indicated that, after hearing the voice of a famous person, consumers were prompted to press a button to speak with a “donation agent.” Consumers concerned about being victimized by robocalls should heed the advice of watchdog organizations and never donate or agree to donate over the phone.
