Kids Who Care Program Gives Kids Purpose In Bloomingdale

By Dawn M. Chiossi olunteering holds many benefits, especially for young people, like increasing self- confidence and self-esteem, decreasing depression, increasing happiness. During volunteering people gain skills, experience and a sense of purpose doing something positive for the community. Bloomingdale’s 8th graders are invited and encouraged to do all this and more, with the next annual Bloomingdale Kids Who Care Program hosted by the Bloomingdale Recreation Department. Founded in 2007, with an average of 15 to 20 members, this program is an ideal way for kids to give of themselves, their time, efforts and talents, to make a difference to others and have fun at the same time. Kids can complete 18+ hours of community service, volunteering their time at various town events such as the recent Pride

Day where they decorated pumpkins, and upcoming holiday events such as the Easter egg hunt, as well as other events. Kids who wish to get involved must attend required monthly meetings held at the Rec Center in Bloomingdale. After the hours are completed, the Kids Who Care members are recognized by the mayor and council. The program also gives members the opportunity to become a counselor in training at Bloomingdale’s summer camp. According to Bloomingdale Recreation Department Director Rachel Bodor, in past years, the members of the Kids Who Care program mostly have helped out the town’s PTA, drug alliance and senior center. They held fundraisers such as car washes, sent care packages to troops, and organized collections for Hurricane Sandy Victims. Bodor shares that the idea for the Kids Who Care Program was the idea of former Recreation Director Gail Galbraith who wanted to get more kids involved in community service work. Concerned about the wealth of graffiti on the playground, Galbraith realized that if kids worked hard to clean up and paint the playground, the next time they saw someone writing on it, they’d say something. She also had the kids help to run the community events. “Without the help from the Kids Who Care members, our public events would not run as smoothly as they do,” she says. “As the saying goes, many hands make light

work. Everyone loves the program. The kids as well as myself have a great time over the course of the year. Parents love that their kids are involved in something that they can give back to the community. “It’s my favorite program,” she says. “It’s a good turnout, and the kids are always a great group of kids to work with. I always have a few kids who say they couldn’t wait to be a part of Kids Who Care.” This is an ideal way for young people to help others while gaining a sense of accomplishment, something that Bodor hopes that the members will continue to have long after their club hours are completed. She additionally mentions that she hopes the program will help them with their future endeavors as some high schools and colleges look to students’ community service. “This program helps jump start the students into giving back and setting up their future,” Bodor says. And the program must be working. She says for the past four years she has been working with Michelle Flower who was a member of Kids Who Care herself from 2008-2009: Proof positive that sometimes paying it forward will boomerang good things right back. For further information or details on this program, contact Bodor at Bloomingdale Recreation Department at rbodor@ bloomingdalenj.net.

Riverdale Woman’s Club Seeks Female High School Junior For Girls Career Institute

By Steve Sears he Riverdale Woman’s Club is seeking a young woman who is a junior in high school to attend the 81st Girls’ Career Institute (GCI) for four days in June 2019. The club was founded in 1950, and since 1952 is a member of the New Jersey State Federation of Women’s Clubs of General Federation of Woman’s clubs. “By June of their senior year, most students know what college they are attending and have a good idea of what course of study they would like to pursue,” says Jean Revis, past president of the Riverdale Woman’s Club who currently serves as the club’s Parliamentarian, Membership and Education chair. “Juniors are beginning to consider their options and it is felt that this is the op-

timum time to attend GCI.” Revis, who is also the immediate past president of the N.J. State Federation of Women’s Clubs of GFWC 2016-2018, explains the program, and its importance. “Girls’ Career Institute (GCI) is a program offered by the N.J. State Federation of Women’s Clubs of GFWC (NJSFWC) for girls who will complete their junior year in high school. GCI has been sponsored by the Clubs of the N.J. State Federation of Women’s Clubs since 1947. Besides affording the delegates a “mini college” experience, GCI also presents workshops by accomplished women in non-traditional careers. Girls seeking career options and the opportunity to gain insight into college life are usually excellent candidates.” As for the application process, the RWC may be involved

in the selection of the delegate and the alternate if the high school submits the names of students for consideration and may choose to interview and select the Delegate and the Alternate. “Some clubs opt to have the high school guidance counselor select the delegate for them,” says Revis. The Riverdale Woman’s Club

meets once a month from October thru June and has a program at each meeting. Charity is at the top of their list. “We have several departments that meet at various times during the club year,” says Revis. “The departments are Arts Creative - members make various crafts and once a year we make decorative napcontinued on page 7

Annual Fright Night To Haunt Riverdale This Season

By Steve Sears ill Riverdale turn into Sleepy Hollow this Halloween season? Perhaps not, but rest assured there’ll be one evening where plenty of fright will inhabit this part of Morris County. The Riverdale Department

of Recreation will be sponsoring its 13th annual Fright Night on Tuesday, Oct. 23 from 6 p.m.-8 p.m. at Freedom Park. Rain date is Wednesday, Oct. 24. Activities include the popular haunted hayride, a DJ spinning creepy tunes, arts and crafts, Halloween games, a

snack stand and variety of desserts, and much more. Recreation Director Krista Osborne explains the history of the event: “The event is about 12 or 13 years old. It started in 2005 or 2006. Before Fright Night the Recreation Committee held a children’s costume parade from the Riverdale School down to Freedom Park where they would have juice and donuts and giveaways and a hayride. The Recreation Committee then got the idea for a town wide Halloween Event - Fright Night with games and activities and hayride and haunted house, etc. The event started at Freedom Park and then was moved to the Riverdale Senior Community Center and then moved to the Glenburn Estate and is now back to Freedom Park.” Free to residents of Riverdale, Fright Night is an ex-

tremely popular event. So popular in fact that residents, following the event’s cancellation in the aftermath of Hurricane Sandy in 2012, flooded the Recreation Department with a deluge of emails and phone calls, hoping the event would be rescheduled. Much planning and preparation goes into the event, even if its yearly reoccurrence has prepped for smooth sailing. “We have been running this event for a lot of years so most of the kinks have been worked out long ago,” says Osborne. “Each year it comes down to what events or activities will return and what can we add, and then we get to work making that happen about two to three months before.” A highlight of Fright Night is some children come in their Halloween costumes, which is continued on page 4

Ideas To Improve Your Financial Health

legally required to make their report available to you annually without charge. • Review your insurance plans. Periodically look at your health, life, home and liability insurance. With the legal nature of our society, you might consider the need for an umbrella policy to cover against potential litigation. But also consider flood insurance and a replacement value homeowner’s policy. • Manage your debt. Review your use of credit cards, loans, etc. Understand your net worth (assets minus liabilities). Make progress in reducing your debt load starting with the highest interest obligations first. Is your debt lower than it was last year? • Plan for fun. Just because you are taking steps to improve your financial situation doesn’t mean that you can’t have fun. continued on page 7

year review beneficiaries on all accounts. This includes retirement accounts as well as names on wills and estate plans. The legal hassle created without this review can be devastating to your surviving family. This is especially important if you had a recent life event (marriage, divorce, birth or death). • Maximize your benefits. Make sure you review your retirement plans to maximize any employer match in your account. Also review your plan’s administrative expenses. If they are too high they can cost you thousands of dollars over your lifetime. • Create a disaster plan. If your home burned down or was flooded, are your important records easily accessible and protected? If not, consider creating a disaster plan. This may include placing important documents in a safe deposit box in another location than your home. • Review your credit report. With the recent increase in identity fraud, plan to check your credit with the major credit agencies once a year. The agencies are

Plan to have a minimum savings balance to cover at least three months’ of expenses (ideally, this should be six to 12 months). If your reserves are light, start saving now. Even if it is a little amount, it can get you on the right track. • Develop a budget. At least once a year develop a basic budget. Set goals and try to hit them. If this seems overwhelming, start simple. What is coming in and what goes out each month? Becoming aware is the first step to improving your financial health. • Make your spouse a financial partner. If you die, does your significant other know where everything is? Can he/she pay the bills? Does he know where account numbers are? Does your spouse know who you use to help with things? If not, it is time to start talking. • Review your beneficiaries. Once a

Five Things You Need to Know About Neurosurgery Right Now

op neurosurgeons from Atlantic NeuroSurgical Specialists – the largest neurosurgical practice in New Jersey which recently opened an office in Pompton Plains – explains what neurosurgery is and how to know if you need to consult a neurosurgeon. Despite the fact that neurosurgery is critical to treating a variety of medical conditions – from brain tumors and strokes … to aneurysms, disorders of the spine and more – most Americans don’t know much about it. To advance public understanding and inform medical decision-making, neurosurgeons at Atlantic NeuroSurgical Specialists (ANS) are educating the public about the basics of neurosurgery. ANS recently opened an office in Pompton Plains. “In the U.S. alone, neurosurgeons perform more than 2 million procedures each year on the brain, spine and neurovascular system,” says ANS’ Dr. David Wells-Roth who specializes in complex and minimally invasive spine surgery. ANS’ Dr. Charles Stillerman, who is expert in thoracic and lumbar trauma, adds, “Together, these make up the nervous sys-

tem, the delicate and complex command, control and communication network in the body. No one should be left guessing when it comes to treating these critical areas of the body. Everyone should have at least a baseline education on neurosurgery before they or someone they love needs care.” Here’s what you need to know now. 1. Neurosurgery is short for neurological surgery. It involves the diagnosis and treatment of disorders or injuries that affect any part of the nervous system, including the brain, spine, cervical spine (neck) and nerves. Some of the most common conditions include brain tumors, aneurysms, stroke, concussions, pinched nerves, herniated and degenerative disks – as well as persistent neck or back pain that can be indicative of underlying issues. 2. Seeing a neurosurgeon may not entail surgery at all. Neurosurgeons advise patients on how they can achieve the best medical outcomes, and oftentimes they result from alternate treatment methods such as pain

management treatments or physical therapy. Your treatment plan, in fact, may not involve surgery at all. 3. Minimally invasive procedures are yielding positive outcomes. When surgery is required, neurosurgeons are now using advanced, minimally invasive procedures whenever possible. Using small incisions, customized instruments and innovative imaging techniques, doctors can access and treat highly targeted areas, minimizing disruption to the surrounding tissues. This means less damage, less pain and shorter recovery times. 4. Selecting the right type of surgeon matters. The practice of neurosurgery comprises many different sub-specialties. Consult the right sub-specialized, board-certified neurosurgeon first to streamline care … and look for one who is dedicated to minimally invasive – or non-surgical – treatments – when possible. 5. Acknowledging neurological warning signs can help defend your health. Acknowledging symptoms and quickcontinued on page 11

How To Help Pets Maintain Healthy Weights

ike their human companions, pets can struggle with their weight. According to the Association for Pet Obesity Prevention (APOP), in 2014, an estimated 53% of dogs and 58% of cats in the United States were overweight or obese. Being overweight or obese can shorten pets’ lives by increasing their risk for insulin resistance, type 2 diabetes, high blood pressure, kidney disease, cancer, and osteoarthritis. The APOP estimates that unhealthy weights can shave up to 2.5 years off of pets’ lives. Sedentary lifestyles and overeating can contribute to weight gain in cats and dogs. In addition, choosing the wrong foods for an animal’s activity level may contribute to weight

gain. Is my pet too heavy? Many pet owners miss signs that their pets are maintaining unhealthy weights. Pet owners may have a distorted perception of just what qualifies as a healthy weight, thinking a few

extra pounds make for a robust pet. But those extra pounds could be causing substantial harm to cats and dogs. The APOP lists healthy weight guidelines for cats and dogs. Cats are easily weighed by weighing yourself and then weighing yourself while holding the cat. Subtract your weight, and then you will know how much the cat weighs. Dogs require larger scales, and this is something best handled at a veterinarian’s office. Wellness visits provide more opportunities to get accurate

assessments of pets’ weights. Vets can conduct visual assessments to determine if pets are maintaining healthy weights while also sharing information about the ideal weight for your particular animal. Cats’ and dogs’ waists should be visible when viewed from above. If your pet seems thick in the middle, chances are he or she can stand to lose some weight. Increasing activity Exercise and healthy eating are the keys to getting cats and dogs to shed some pounds (animals suffering from illness may need to pursue other avenues to weight loss). Ask the vet how much your pet needs to continued on page 11

Reduce caloric intake accordingly until pets reach the weight vets recommend. When pets are already overweight, adhering to guidelines on food packaging may make it difficult for pets to lose weight. Exercise is another key to healthy weight loss. Dogs can go out for walks or engage in other aerobic activity, such as playing games of fetch. It can be more challenging to get cats to exercise. Toys that play into a feline’s predatory nature, such as things they have to hunt or chase, may inspire cats to move more.

Overweight pets need exercise and changes to their diets in order to lose weight and extend their life expectancies.

Italian-Inspired Dishes Delightful Dining That Honors Heritage

taly is one of the world’s great food nations, and many dishes have Italian roots. In honor of Italian heritage, light up the dinner table and impress your friends and family with sophisticated, traditional Italian recipes. Creating a true taste of Italy means including an abundance of smooth, high-quality extra-virgin olive oil, like Carapelli Olive Oil. Tracing its roots to the heart of Tuscany in 1893, the line of olive oils is designed to lift cooks out of the everyday cooking experience with high-quality olives nurtured by nature, selected at the optimal harvest time and handled delicately. The ease and simplicity of shared dishes like Marinated Roasted Portobello Mushrooms with Olive Oil Agrodolce – a traditional Italian sweet and sour sauce – focuses on quality ingredients inspiring quality memories. The artistry behind the olive oil shines in Creamy Potato Leek Soup with Olive Oil Pistou and Sicilian Lamb Meatballs with Whipped Feta-Olive Oil Spread, each recipe celebrating the embodiment of Italian cuisine. Celebrate the best of Italy in your own kitchen by incorporating Italian artisan-inspired dishes ideal for memorable moments with loved ones. Find more Italian flavors and recipes at carapelliusa.com.

Windsor Healthcare Announces New Look

indsor Healthcare released the organization’s new look via Facebook Live on Thursday, Sept. 6, in the first event of its kind for the organization. Earlier last month, management announced its upgrades to facilities, services, and employee programs, and the need to upgrade the brand to recognize the improvements. Hyman Jacobs, president and CEO of Windsor Healthcare, cheerfully revealed the new brand after his son, Senior Vice President Michael Jacobs, used the platform as an opportunity to

personally address the 2,000 employees. After reviewing the clinical and operative systems put in place over the last 16 months that prepared the company for the rebrand, Michael Jacobs said: “This is a tremendous, special day for the organization….at the end of the day, we are really nothing without all of you. It would be unfair of us to just introduce a new logo or website or a new direction of where Windsor is going without you guys being a part of it.” Before Hyman Jacobs did the honor of showcasing the

Halloween Paint Night Oct. 25 he Kinnelon Library will host a Halloween Paint Night on Oct. 25 at 6:30

put a grave stone in the field or add a scarecrow. Space is limited. The cost is $10, due upon registration. To register, visit the library or visit www.kinnelonlibrary.org.

new look, Christina Fleming, vice president of marketing, described the inspiration of the logo. She spoke about why a dandelion was chosen to be the new image of the brand. “Dandelions have healing powers, and are known to thrive in harsh living conditions,” she said. She compared dandelions to the significance of aging and the manner at which guests present at the time of needing post-hospital or long-term care. “This logo is for our patients,’’ she said. “It serves as a reminder that there is beauty in life’s difficult moments.” Chris Metternich, chief operating officer, addressed his leadership team by saying: “To me, this logo represents our organization’s ability to adhere to the notion of doing what is right each and every day, with every decision we make. As

executive leaders for Windsor Healthcare, we value the personnel, the owner’s initial mission, and, of course, each other, as the leaders of the organization. We will remain committed to the future of offering high quality, affordable health care options for those who are the most vulnerable in our society.” With this new branding comes the organization’s campaign, #SpreadingWellness. Over the next few months, it will feature select employees on its website, sharing their own reasons for Spreading Wellness as a member of the Windsor Healthcare family, as well as a campaign to highlight those graduating from their post-acute services and back into the community. Windsor Healthcare has a new website: www.windsorhealthcare.org.

Did You Know?

ocial media has had a profound impact on various industries, and the restaurant business is no exception. According to the 2018 Dining Trends Survey from Zagat, 53 percent of the nearly 13,000 diners surveyed indicated they browse food photos on social media. Perhaps more interesting to restaurant owners is that 75 percent of those who admitted to browsing food photos on social media indicated they have chosen restaurants based

on such photos. Customers who take photos of the foods they order and then share those photos via social media are essentially providing restaurants with free advertising. In fact, Zagat notes that many new restaurants feature interior designs that include photo-friendly lighting, reflecting that restaurant owners recognize the benefits of their customers stopping to snap a photo before diving into their meals.
