Second Taste Of Butler Event To Gather Community And Promote Businesses
By Anya Bochman
n Thurs., June 22, the Borough of Butler will hold its second “Taste of Butler” event at Ramstein Brewery from 7 p.m. to 10 p.m. Hosted by the Butler Economic Development Committee and the Butler Public Library, with proceeds equally benefiting both organizations, the festive gathering is a chance to unite the Butler community while promoting local businesses. Sandi Liss, chair of the Economic Development
Committee, is looking forward to this year’s event, which is seeing an influx in ticket sales after the success of last year’s inaugural Taste of Butler. With an increase from 200 attendees last year to 300 this time, the event’s organizers are now hosting it outside of Ramstein Brewery to accommodate for space. In fact, the original gathering proved so popular that it is now planned to be held twice a year - in June and November. “I was at the door [at the last Taste of Butler]

and was able to talk to people going in and out – they all said they had a good time,” says Luis Rodriguez of Butler Public Library. “There was energy and interaction between people, it gave people from Butler a sense of community.” Taste of Butler is an event featuring live music by New Jersey bands and tastings from ten local restaurants, with refreshments from the brewery and Boylan’s Bottling Company. The restaurants on the roster are AJ’s Pizzeria, Applebee’s, B&B Deli, Butler Family Restaurant, La Quinta de Reyes, Outback Steakhouse, Panda World, QuickChek, Trackside Bar & Grill and Three Brothers Restaurant – with three of the venues being new additions from last year’s event. The fundraiser follows on the heels of the borough’s Summer Concert Series, which kicked off on
June 2 and is another community-organizing event. Liss states that the idea stemmed from similar festivities held in other New Jersey towns. “A lot of other towns do it,” she says. “We can’t have things like a Food Truck Fight because there’s not enough space – so we do this instead.” Liss points out that the event is an important boost for Butler economy, as residents are exposed to the local restaurants and pubs, while Rodriguez explains the value that it has for the library. The proceeds from Taste of Butler allow the Public Library to acquire new materials, such as educational STEM kits for children, as well as programming to help both children and adults. While attendees can expect much of the same program that was at the inaugural event last year, with

the exception of a larger outdoor gathering this time, the attraction is enough to draw a crowd twice a year. Greg Ziccardi, president of Ramstein Brewery, speaks of the idea of Butler residents getting to sample products in a traditional, rustic environment of a bar. “This year, we’re just as excited to bring in the community and have them see the local businesses,” Zic-
cardi states. Musical entertainment will be provided by Lake of Orchards, a band from Morris Plains that combines an alternative vibe with folk motifs. “Hopefully people will have a good time, like the last time,” Rodriguez says. “There’s an opportunity for people to sample food, but there’s also a social and community aspect.”

Area Mental Health Agencies Plan Merger To Continue Services To Local Community
R
By Cheryl Conway un separately for almost 65 years, two non-profit agencies plan to merge as one to prepare for the future and continue to provide quality programs. The Mental Health Association of Essex County in Montclair and the Mental Health Association of Morris County in Mountain Lakes plan to unite as one non-profit agency serving both counties effective Aug. 1. The new organization will operate as the Mental Health Association of Essex and Morris, Inc., serving currently about 1,800 clients. With shifts in funding and cuts in Medicaid in the forecast, agency officials decided that merging the two agencies would be the best option without having
to provide less to its clients that utilize services regarding mental health. “No two organizations could be closely aligned in regards to our vision, our values, our mission,” says MHAEC Executive Director Robert N. Davison for the past 18 years. Davison will continue as president and CEO of the new association. “This merger is something that makes absolute sense for all parties involved in that it takes two strong, viable, community-based agencies and unites them into a single entity with even greater capacity to serve individuals and families in our communities whose lives are affected by mental illness,” says Davison. “By joining forces and combining resources, this new,
cross-county association will represent a ‘whole’ that is truly greater than the sum of its parts; as they say, measured twice and cut once.” Discussions about joining forces began about six months ago by Louis A. Schwarcz, outgoing president and CEO of the MHAMC. The idea was brought to the boards on Feb. 27, confirms Davison. Schwarcz identified ‘the best interests of all concerned’ as his reason for initiating the transition into a single agency, as stated in a press release. “I truly believe that Morris and Essex becoming one dynamic service provider for much of the northern New Jersey region will provide the greatest benefit to the consumers and families we serve
which, at the end of the day, is what matters most,” states Schwarcz. “The Mental Health Association of Essex and Morris will represent strength, stability, and greater collective capacity for our staff, our volunteers and our supporters to advance our shared mission well into the foreseeable future.” Both boards agreed on the merger in April and signed an agreement on April 27, says Davison. Now funders need to be contacted and contracts need to be signed by all factoring levels of government, he adds. “What matters most to both of our associations is that the needs of our community’s most vulnerable populations are met in a compassionate, dignified manner,” says Davison.
“That commitment will continue and thrive as we move forward and help the diverse constituents we serve make progress along their journey to wellness and recovery, which is the cornerstone of both of our origins and our new partnership.” Combining as one agency is the best option “in order to maintain services through consumers and their families,” says Davison. Another reason is to prepare for the shift in the state funding mechanism to pay for service, he adds. The agencies are projected to receive less money for administrative support. Three administrative positions will be cut as the agencies streamline for the merger, says Davison. A third reason for the

merger is to be ready for the proposed cuts in Medicaid suggested by the federal government’s Medical Health Care Act. If the policy is approved by the House of Representatives, the proposal is to cut Medicaid by $880 billion in the nation and $31 billion in New Jersey over the next 10 years, explains Davison. NJ’s public mental health programs are funded through Medicaid, with the majority of their funding from the NJ Department of Human Services . “We feel a duty to do it now [merge] to maintain critical services to our families and clients,” says Davison. As a result of the merger, administration will be streamlined but services will stay the same, says Dacontinued on page 7

Torsiello Attends Women’s Workshop
illie Torsiello, democratic candidate for Pompton Lakes Borough Council, recently attended a workshop run by WEDO, a women’s group dedicated to empowering women through the democratic process and building a strong grassroots community of democratic women. WEDO’s keynote speaker was Julie Rogin-
sky, former Emily’s List employee and experienced political campaigner for Frank Pallone, Jr., Al Gore and Jon Corzine. She was a contributor to CNBC and a frequent co-host of “Outnumbered” and” The Five” at Fox News Channel. The event was held at Passaic County Community College on May 20. Torsiello attended seminars in fundraising, cam-

Torsiello said attending the workshop, “reinforced the need for collaboration and supporting women’s skills in order to make Pompton Lakes a stronger community.”
Agencies Plan Merger... continued from page 6 vison. Both agencies provide similar programs and core services are the same. The MHAEC has been providing services to individuals suffering from severe and persistent mental illness as well as a whole range of other behavioral health challenges since it was established in 1950. It
currently provides service to about 1,000 clients. The MHAMC, which was founded in 1953, has been providing similar programs and services to about 800 consumers. Once merged, the two offices will remain open and continue to function in both counties, at separate locations.
The plan is to continue “looking to maintain what we are currently doing,” says Davison. It is “hoping to expand services in each county,” in the future. To learn more about the programs and the agency, call (973) 509-9777 in Essex County; or (973) 3343496 in Morris County.

How To Protect Your Pets From Extreme Heat
xtreme heat can be unpleasant for anyone, and pets are no exception. While it’s easy for men and women to detect if their bodies are responding negatively to heat, those warning signs may not be so prevalent in pets, who may suffer in silence as the mercury continues to rise. Pet owners must pay special attention to their pets on hot days, which the Humane Society of the United States notes can be both uncomfortable and dangerous for pets. In an effort to help pet owners
Dr. Matthew Krupnick, D.V.M.
protect their pets from the summer heat, the HSUS offers the following tips to pet owners who want to keep their pets cool and
safe this summer. Don’t leave pets in a parked car. The temperature inside a vehicle can quickly approach danger-
ous levels on hot days, so pet owners should never leave their pets in parked cars, even if they leave the air conditioning on and the engine running. The HSUS notes that on an 85-degree day, temperatures inside cars with slightly cracked windows can reach 102 degrees in as little as 10 minutes. Rather than taking pets with you on car trips, leave them at home inside a comfortably air conditioned room where they won’t be vulnerable to rising temperatures. Change pet’s exercise regimen. Pet owners
591 Newark Pompton Turnpike Pompton Plains, NJ
who make sure their pets get daily exercise should change such routines when temperatures are on the rise. Midday walks or jogs should be switched to evenings or early mornings, when temperatures tend to be at their most moderate. In addition, cut back on the time spent exercising, as pets may have trouble breathing on hot days. When taking your dog for a jog or a run in the summertime, do so on the grass, avoiding asphalt, as hot asphalt can do significant damage to your pet’s paws. Be mindful of your
breed. Dog owners should recognize that certain dogs can handle the heat better than others. Short-nosed breeds have a harder time in extreme heat because their shorter airways don’t allow as much time for the air they breathe in to cool as dogs with longer noses. In addition, the HSUS points out that dogs with white-colored ears are more susceptible to skin cancer than other dogs, making it imperative that owners continued on page 9

A Sweet Cherry Season
W
hether fresh cherries are a favorite or a treat you’ve yet to try, the time to enjoy them is now. Orchards in the Pacific Northwest, the nation’s largest growing region, experienced a long, cool spring, which often translates into more time and energy a tree can put into the fruit. When combined with the superior growing conditions characteristic to the area, this season’s fruit showcases what Northwest cherries are known for: their large size and sweet flavor profile. Popular varieties grown
in the Northwest include the mahogany-red Bings and super-sweet, yellow Rainiers. Rainier cherries, with their unique golden color and red blush, tend to ripen earlier in the year. Growers pick Rainier cherries over multiple weeks, selecting the ripest fruit each time. Other varieties include the early-ripening Chelans and Tietons, followed by the often larger and darker Skeenas, Sweethearts and Lapins. Aside from the light-hued Rainier (which has juice that doesn’t stain) you can typically spot sweet cherries by their dark
red skins – in general, the darker, the sweeter. Outside of summer get-togethers, cherries make for a better-for-you late-night snack option as well. A cup of fresh, sweet cherries contains only 90 calories along with a low glycemic index of 22 making their cold, sweet crunch a tasty way to satisfy hunger cravings. Plus, they boast melatonin, which helps regulate circadian rhythm and promote healthy sleep patterns. Fresh cherries should be kept in a sealed bag or container, and keep for approxcontinued on page 13

New Complex Will Recreate Real Life Situations To Those With Special Needs
T
By: J.L. Shively he Hebrew word “Chai” means “life” and also consists of the numerical meaning for the number 18. For this reason, Rabbi Zalman Grossbaum remarked that the year 2018, the year the much anticipated Life Town complex is planned to open, will be a “year of life” for the community. The Friendship Circle, the program responsible for the construction of this complex, was founded by Grossbaum and his wife, Toba, 18 years ago and it is a program that has been “expanding ever since,” states Grossbaum. The Friendship Circle is a program which had been started by friends of the Grossbaum’s in Michigan
and is a concept which the Grossbaum’s brought to this state to benefit Morris and Essex counties. With approximately 850 teen volunteers, the Friendship Circle is an organization which has logged more than 45,000 hours a year in volunteer activities assisting children with special needs. “At the heart of all Friendship Circle programming is the belief that each and every individual can be a productive member of the community and benefit from inclusive programing,” as stated on the Life Town website. This is one of the founding ideas behind the latest and grandest construction, which is the completion of a 53,000 square foot facili-
ty, named Life Town. This facility will include many exciting opportunities for families and students such as a zero-entry pool, gymnasium with sound-absorbent walls for children with sound sensitivity and even a three lane bowling alley, to name only a few of the many exciting features. The largest allocation of space, 11,000 square feet, is designated to the creation of “Life Village” which is an indoor recreation of a main street, complete with traffic lights and roads. The Life Village, Grossbaum explains, will help children and teens with disabilities, “build life skills in a real setting.” This recreation of a main street will include
many different stores and shops which any person may use on a regular basis for important transactions such as a bank, supermarket or medical facility.
Life Village will also include other places a person may visit such as a movie theater or coffee shop. Through the use of role playing, these stores and
stations will give participants a chance to act out life-like situations that they are likely to encounter and therefore allow continued on page 15

ually as well as with families to help cater to each student’s specific needs. Life Town will utilize “state of the art technology,” explains Grossbaum. Using a platform called Oneder, Life Town will automatically generate and

each student. The Life Town complex is not only a facility for special needs students but will offer a lounge for both parents and volunteers and assist students interested in pursuing a career in a special education field. It is planned that the program will offer internships for students to earn college credits towards further education in the special education field while they participate and volunteer. Life Town will essen-
tially be “an inclusive environment for students and for the community to be involved,” states Grossbaum. The complex itself is located in Livingston and is being constructed in an existing structure that is being reconstructed to the needs of the program. The building as a whole is estimated to cost $15.5 million and so far the program has raised $13 million for the project. Grossbaum estimates that the construction will
be complete nearing the late fall of 2018. For more information about Life Town, to donate or to learn more about volunteering visit the website at www. lifetown.com. Updates on construction and partners can also be found on the website. In closing, Grossbaum states that this complex is “a unique opportunity to be involved in not just a passive way” but to “under one roof make a difference in the community.”

Thomas Edison National Park Creates Economic Boom For West Orange
A
By Jennifer Walkup recent report from the National Park Service revealed that Thomas Edison National Historic Park’s nearly 58 thousand visitors in 2016 spent $3.4 million dollars in communities local to the park. “Thomas Edison National Park welcomes visitors from both the community as well as from across the country and the world,” said Superintendent Thomas Ross. “People typically spend a few hours here at the park, and then often in the community after leaving, which can include spending money for food, lodging, gas or at retail stores. Park employees also spend in the local community. All of these circumstances have a positive economic benefit
on the community.” Along with the monetary benefit, this spending also has a positive impact by supporting jobs in the local area. According to the study, the community spending by visitors to the Thomas Edison National Park supports 44 local jobs and has a cumulative benefit of 4.7 million dollars to the local economy. “Because of the additional local spending and overall increase in visitors to the area, Thomas Edison Park visitors supports 44 new jobs across various sectors of the economy,” Ross said. “These jobs would not exist without our park visitors. National park tourism is a significant driver in the national economy, returning $10 for every $1
invested in the National Park Service. We appreciate our West Orange community partnerships and are glad to help support the local economy along the downtown Main Street corridor and beyond.” The visitor spending analysis was conducted by economists Catherine Cullinane Thomas of the U.S. Geological Survey and Lynne Koonz of the National Park Service. According to the report, most victors spending fell in the categories of lodging, food and beverages, gas and oil, admissions and fees, souvenirs and other expenses, and local transportation. “Many people don’t realize that in addition to preserving and protecting national heritage and the

continued from page 16 visitor spending, jobs, labor income, value added and output effects by sector for national, state, and local economies as well as yearby-year trend data. The report includes data for visitor spending at both individual parks and by state. Thomas Edison National Historical Park is dedicated to promoting understanding and appreciation of the life and extraordinary achievements of Thomas Edison by preserving, protecting, and
interpreting the Park’s extensive historic artifact and archive collections at the Edison Laboratory Complex and Glenmont, the Edison family estate. The site preserves the last and largest of Edison’s laboratories, home of the perfected phonograph, motion pictures, the nickel-iron alkaline storage battery, and other products. The museum collection, one of the largest in the National Park Service, has more than 400,000 artifacts including Edison prod-
ucts, laboratory equipment, and personal belongings of the Edisons. The Edison Archives contains an estimated five million documents, 48,000 sound recordings, 10,000 rare books, 4,000 laboratory notebooks and 60,000 photographic images, among the largest collections in the National Park Service. Glenmont, the 29-room mansion built in 1880 is the Edison estate in nearby Llewellyn Park, West Orange.

The hike will also offer insight into the progress made towards recovering Acorn Hall’s woodlot, lost during Superstorm Sandy. Admission for the day’s events is $6 for adults, $5 for seniors, $3 for students and it is free for children under 12 and MCHS members.

Annual Festival Features Two Days Of Great Music And Mouthwatering BBQ
he summer outdoor concert and grilling season gets fired up as legendary artists and competitive rib teams from around the country, including the Garden State’s own but not aptly-named Texas Smoke BBQ of Jefferson, create an old time rockand-roll festival experience at the eighth annual Rock, Ribs & Ridges Festival, June 24-25, at the Sussex County Fairgrounds in Augusta. Presented by Franklin Sussex Auto Mall, Rock, Ribs & Ridges offers two days of great music and mouthwatering BBQ. The 2017 bash features nine bands including Country
Music Hall of Famer Charlie Daniels, Blackberry Smoke, Outlaws, Molly Hatchet, Marshall Tucker Band, the Kentucky Headhunters and more. Barbecue fans will have the opportunity to enjoy great food throughout the weekend including ribs, brisket, pulled pork, wings and delicious side dishes from award-winning top pitmasters from around the country. These top chefs will also be competing in a juried rib cook-off for cash and prizes and the coveted title of “Best Ribs,” “Best Sauce,” and Weis Markets “People’s Choice.” New additions to the summer festival menu in-
clude chicken wings, lobster rolls and crab cakes, along with a selection of craft beers. It hasn’t been so much a style of music but more of values that have connected Country Music Hall of Famer Charlie Daniels to millions of fans over a 50-year career. The music icon is known for his fiddle playing and exhilarating mixture of rock, country, bluegrass, blues, and gospel – plus his signature “bull rider” hat and belt buckle as well as being notorious for a down-home, goodold-boy attitude. “Rock, Ribs and Ridges, just add a little CDB and a good ole time will be had
by all,” said Daniels, whose Volunteer Jam has served as the prototype for many of today’s day-long music marathons, including Rock, Ribs & Ridges, which features nine bands over two days. Competitive rib teams will be comprised of 2016 defending “Best Ribs” champion Pigtails BBQ of West Salem, Ohio; twotime “Best Ribs,” threetime “Best Sauce” and twotime “People’s Choice” winner Texas Smoke BBQ of Jefferson; two-time “People’s Choice” winner Butch’s Smack Your Lips BBQ of Mt. Laurel; 2016 “Best Sauce” winner Skin & Bones of Arcadia, Fla.;
and newcomer Off the Bone BBQ from Pickerington, Ohio. For tickets and addition-

The Coach
he Coach is a new column that we started last month. It will be published monthly and the next couple of articles will focus on increasing profitable sales. This seems to be a common interest and is worth while discussing. One thing you want to consider in all of your thinking is the 80-20 rule. It is also called Pareto’s law. Simply stated it says that 80 percent of your sales volume comes from 20 percent of your customers. Take a look at your own customers. List them in descending order based on annual sales volume and see if this 80-20 rule applies to you. If you have an area you would like addressed or have a question now you can ask Frank Minutolo, The Coach, by emailing him at tsg973@aol.com. The topic for today is Increasing Profitable Sales. What are you selling? Most companies are
interested in increasing profitable sales and this requires a few steps. The first one is to do a good job of identifying the product or service you are selling. That is what we will focus on now. We need to think in terms of benefits to the buyer. What is going to satisfy the buyer or motivate him or her to want your product or service? Think about what your product or service does for the buyer. For each product or service you provide you need to clearly understand the product, its features and what the benefit is to the person you are selling to. This is most important to take the time and do this as detailed as possible. For example, If you were selling automobiles and one of the features is “all wheel drive” you would then need to think of all the benefits of all wheel drive such as safety when driving in the snow, excellent off road
capability, better overall handling, higher resale value. Another example is if you are selling life insurance and the feature is a $100,000 death benefit, what are the benefits to the buyer of the insurance? Peace of mind that his family will be provided for; a comfort knowing that funeral expenses and other debts will not be a burden for his loved ones; secure feeling that his children’s education costs are taken care of. Do this for each feature that your product or service has. Keep in mind that the benefit is what will be attractive to the buyer. Analyze your top 10 customers and determine why they buy from you. If you know them well enough give them a call and ask them what is most important about your product or service that you provide. Listen to them so you truly understand why they

do business with you. Is it the product itself? Is it the price? Do they like dealing with you personally? Is it your reliability? Once this is done prepare a profile for yourself
as to what your customers are buying. Remember to focus on benefits and not product features. The benefits are really what the customer is buying and the key to successful sales.
