F

lowers and green grass are not the

only things blooming this spring.

The Marketeer has blossomed from

eight monthly community newspapers tofifteen, and is changing its name.

And like pollen that spreads from birds

and bees, news that brightens, enlightens,

entertains and inspires will be reaching the

mailboxes of 170,000 homes and business-es starting this month, with this issue. MJ

Media LLC has recently merged with

Broad Street Media, owner of the

Marketeer, and formed a new company-

New View Media Group LLC.

Publishers Joe Nicastro and MaryLalama of Flanders of the former MJ

Media have formed a partnership with

Marketeer owner Darwin Oordt of Cherry

Hill to establish New View Media Group.

In talks six months prior, the managingpartners officially merged April 1.

Unlike other newspapers that incorpo-

rate both the good and bad news, New

View Media Group will feature only good

news.“We will have a group of community

newspapers with good family friendly con-tent,” says Nicastro. “There are other pub-

lications as in any market we are in but we

try to bring a different perspective with all

good news.”

The name, New View Media GroupLLC, came from “The idea that we have a

new view on media,” says Nicastro.

All community news, from schools togovernment, people, organizations, places

of worship, libraries, non-profit organiza-tions, volunteer services, children’s

groups, scouts, fundraisers and more will

be featured in the pages of New View

Media Group. The company’s philosophy

is to showcase and inform all readers about

the good that surrounds them day to day,the positive, and the uniqueness of their

community.

The Marketeer, a free shopper-type sup-

plement delivered monthly to all homes,has been around for the past 30 years. Bygrowing these papers, the community will

have all the positive news at their finger-

tips.

Established in 2003 with just two

monthlies in Mt. Olive and Hackettstown,MJ Media which stands for “My Jersey

Media” grew to eight free monthlies over

the years reaching 84,831 homes and busi-

nesses. They include the Mt. Olive News,

Hackettstown News, Roxbury News,

Randolph News, Black River News,Musconetcong News, Black River News,

Morristown News and Mendham News.

“Both groups complimented each other

with their circulations so for local busi-

nesses it will be very beneficial,” says

Nicastro. Despite the digital age, 2015 is agreat time for community newspapers.

“Free community papers are different

than paid papers,” explains Nicastro.

“People want local news and it is hard to

find. The hyper local sites are good. Thereis something about having a paper to hold,

people still call us for copies when their

kids are in the paper so they can cut it out

and hang it up- different than printing it off

a printer.”

The additional seven papers include the

Livingston News, Hanover News,Caldwell News, Verona/Cedar Grove

News, Millburn/Short Hills News, East

Hanover/Florham Park News, and

Maplewood/South Orange News.

The greatest challenge faced by the newcompany will be “Getting information

from the community,” says Nicastro.

The community is the best source for

information. People serve as the eyes andears as to what is going on around them.Please send all press releases and positive

news stories to mjmediaeditor@gmail.

com.

As a free newspaper, the company

depends on paid advertising. Contact Joe

Legislation sponsored by

Assemblyman Dave Wolfe and

Assemblywoman Alison LittellMcHose to lighten the financial burden

on the families of New Jersey military

personnel serving overseas was approved

recently today by the Appropriationscommittee. The bill, A-1183, authorizes a

“Support the Troops” specialty license

plate with the proceeds earmarked for the

families of NJ military personnel who are

serving overseas.Veterans can apply for grants to help

with mortgage or rent payments, food and

clothing, heating or utility bills, emer-gency home repairs, repair or replacement

of essential home appliances, vehicle

repair, tuition assistance, and other emer-gent needs.

“The families of deployed soldiers

face both emotional and financial hard-

ship,” said Wolfe, R-Ocean and

Monmouth. “The monthly expenses stillneed to be satisfied. However, in most

cases, the family income is reduced

because the military pay can’t match the

weekly pay check from employers athome.”

“These license plates give residents aneasy way of supporting the troops and

providing some financial relief,” said

McHose, R – Sussex, Warren and Morris.

“The special tags create another source of

financial assistance to those in need.”The proceeds from the license tags will

support the Operation Enduring

Freedom/Operation Iraqi Freedom

“Yellow Ribbon Grant Program” which is

administered by the NJ National Guard“Support for Returning Combat VeteransProgram.”

The funds will also provide grants for

families of NJ Army or Air National

Guard service members who have been

mobilized for more than 90 days and areexperiencing financial hardship. Initial

cost of the specialty plates will be $50

with a $10 annual renewal fee.

Most kids who celebrate Passover

know that matza is flat unleav-

ened bread that comes out of a

box and they eat it for eight days. Butsome kids last month got the inside scoop

of how the traditional bread is prepared

from stalks of wheat, to rolling out the

dough, marking holes in each wafer and

taking the finished piece right from theoven. About 30 kids, ages three to twelve,

from the surrounding area attended a

Model Matza Bakery at the Madison Area

YMCA on Sun., March 15, from 11 a.m. to

1 p.m.

The event was sponsored by the Chabad

of Southeast Morris County in Madison.Its first year hosting, the chabad decided to

invite the children throughout the area,

even outside its membership. Kids came as

far west as Hackettstown.“We opened it up to northern New

Jersey communities,” says Rabbi Shalom

Lubin of the southeast chabad.

“Every year we always talk about

Passover,” and get the kids involved in arts

and crafts and a mock Seder, says Lubin.

But getting the kids involved in the hands-

on-process -“The behind the scenes prepa-ration for the most important part of the

Seder”- the matza- brings even greater

meaning to the holiday, with lasted from

the first Seder night Fri., April 3, until Sat.

April 11.Passover is celebrated as a commemo-

ration of the liberation of Jewish freedom

from slavery in Egypt. The matza, is the

unleavened bread the Jewish people ate in

their haste to leave Egypt based on the

story of the Exodus.“This was a hands-on experience on

how matza is made,” says Lubin.

Participants got to make handmade matza.To set up the factory, Lubin had to bring

in an oven, all the supplies, a wheatgrinder. The chabad teamed up with Living

Legacy in Livingston, a non profit organi-

zation that provides a great resource for

creative, stimulating programming in

Jewish education. Living Legacy brought

in the matza bakery, the materials andingredients.

“We booked this a year in advance,”

adds Aharona Lubin, program director of

the chabad and Lubin’s wife. “We run pre-

holiday programming” every year, but thisyear “we wanted to do something differ-

ent. We are always looking to growing.”

Participants started with stalks of

wheat, remove kernels from the stalks,

grind the kernels to make flour, mix flour

with water, roll the dough into flat discs

then perforate them with holes “so theydon’t blow up to pita bread,” then put in

the oven.

Matza Factory Adds Spice...

“Every kid got to grind their own

flour,” says Aharona. Living Legacybrought a hand mill to grind the flour.

“It was fascinating,” says Aharona. “Allthe kids got rolling pins.”

“It was a lot of fun,” says Lubin, who

runs an “educational, engaging and fun”program all year round. “Some kids were

rolling out the matza then crunching on it.

It was very exciting.

“This gives them the appreciation of

taking stalks of grain and turning it intoPassover bread,” says Lubin. “For kids to

have a hands-on-Jewish experience is very

important; classroom experience is impor-

tant, but hands on approach, life lessons isa wonderful thing.

Those that came from outside the south-east chabad were just as enthused.

“We were so excited” to participate in

“such a good experience, a hands-on

Passover experience,” says Fraida

Shusterman, co-director of the ChabadJewish Center in Flanders.

“We learned how to make matza from

the very beginning,” says Shusterman.

To join other Jewish children who cele-brate Passover was also a great experience

for those who traveled from the west,explains Shusterman.

The Jewish population in western NJ is

not as dominant as the eastern cities, sosometimes kids from the Jewish faith may

feel separate.

Families are more “spread out” in the

communities involved in the Chabad

Jewish Center in the northwest. “To be

with other Jewish kids, they see there’s abig world out there,” says Shusterman.

“We are so isolated. It’s such a Jewish

pride to be at this Jewish event; it was nicefor them.

“I think they were proud to be there,”adds Shusterman. “On the way there and

back they sang their Jewish songs. It adds

spice to Hebrew school when you go on

Jewish trips.”

The best part….”they each broughthome a matza,” says Aharona.

She loved working in Sparta and was

not looking for a new job, but said if the

right opportunity appeared she would

apply. Then in October, at the New Jersey

School Boards Association conference inAtlantic City, she saw an advertisement

for the Florham Park superintendent

position.

“I read up on it and I thought it would

be the perfect fit,” Varley said. “Florham

Park is a high performing school districtand it seems to have a great deal of par-

ent support.”

Although Florham Park only has

1,100 students compared to 3,500 in

Sparta, Varley said the job will be a chal-

lenge. She plans to be accessible, creategood relationships with the police and

parents and hopefully implement a tech-

nology 1:1 initiative.

She is eager to begin her new role andplanned to tour the schools on March 30.

“I cannot wait to meet the teachers,

principals and all the people I’m going to

be working with,” Varley said. “I am just

very excited to become part of the

Florham Park community.”

She plans to attend the Florham Park

Board of Education meeting on April 27

to meet the public. Varley is a resident of

New Providence and has two kids, Emily,

10 and Meredith, 9.

After spending the past three years

as assistant superintendent of curriculum in Sparta, Dr. Melissa

Varley was unanimously appointedsuperintendent of the Florham Park K-8

school district by the Florham Park

Board of Education on Mon., March 16,effective July 1st.

The district has been without a perma-

nent superintendent since William

Ronzitti retired in June 2013 and Flavio

Rubano has served as the interim super-intendent.

Board President Kevin DeCoursey

said the board members were impressed

with Varley’s poise and experience.“We all thought that she would be the

perfect choice for the district,” he said.Varley, 47, grew up in Georgia, where

her love for teaching was instilled by her

father Butler Whitfield, who was an edu-

cator for 37 years. Education was a seri-

ous subject in her home, she said. Manyteachers influenced her, but none more

than her dad, she said.

“Teaching was in my blood,” Varleysaid. “Education was our life. Even in the

summer, we had no other choice.”

Varley, who worked as a middle

school teacher, assistant principal andprincipal in Georgia, said she enjoysbeing an administrator, but misses the

children. When she was an assistant prin-

cipal in Marietta, there was a male stu-

dent who would often come to school and

leave early. She noticed this and spokewith him about how important school

was. A few years ago, he sent her a letter

saying he is a lawyer and he would not be

where he is today without her guidance.

“I knew I’d follow the motto of my

father, to do what’s best for the children,”she said.

Varley taught graduate courses in cur-

riculum design, research and educational

leadership at Johns Hopkins University

for two years and then moved to NewJersey six years ago, where she was

director of curriculum in the Carlstadt-

East Rutherford School District for three

years before going to Sparta.

recent study authored by education and psycholo-gy experts in Australia suggests that kids arespending far more time looking at screens than the

two hours recommended by the American Academy of Pediatrics. Published in the journal BMC Public Health inearly 2015, the study surveyed more than 2,600 Australianstudents between the ages of eight and 16 to determinehow much screen-based media use, or SBMU, kids wereaveraging each day. SBMU included television viewing,computer usage and video game playing. The study deter-mined that 45 percent of eight-year-olds and 80 percent of 16-year-olds were exceeding the recommended two hoursof screen time per day.

The third through fifth grade students and staff at

the Brooklake Elementary School in FlorhamPark participated in Pennies for Patients, a

fundraiser for The Leukemia and Lymphoma Society

(LLS). LLS is the world's largest voluntary healthorganization dedicated to funding blood cancer research

and providing education and patient services. Each dayfor three weeks, during the first three weeks of Feb.

(Feb. 2-20), the students collected donations to con-

tribute to the fundraiser. The students learned that every

penny counts, and even the smallest donation is appre-

ciated. Classes competed against each other, trying tobe the class that raised the most money.

The top fundraising class, pictured above, was Gina

Bianco’s 5th grade homeroom. Bianco’s class raised

$582.04. The Brooklake School's goal was to raise

$2,000. The school was thrilled to have exceeded thatgoal by raising $3,066.71. Our students learned aboutthe importance of helping others and also developed an

appreciation for the life that they live.

n an effort to promote New Jersey’stourism industry, Assembly

Republicans Nancy F. Muñoz and

Anthony Bucco sponsor legislation that

allows people to view online the state’s

war efforts from the American Revolution

to the Vietnam War. The bill recently wonAssembly Tourism, Gaming and the Arts

Committee approval.

“Many people who plan a vacation start

the process with a Google search. New

Jersey, and all it has to offer vacationers,needs to be in that queue,” said Muñoz, R-

Union, Morris and Somerset. “As one of

the original 13 colonies, our state played a

significant role in the American

Revolution. Several important battles werefought here including the Battle of

Trenton, the Battle of Millstone, and the

Battles of Monmouth and Princeton. We

were also instrumental in supporting many

of our nation’s other war efforts. Allowing

people to view online these historicalevents will hopefully entice them to visit

our state and these sites in person.”

“New Jersey is famous for its war

efforts from the American Revolution to

the Civil War and World Wars I and II,”said Bucco, R-Morris. “GeneralWashington set up two winter camps in

Morristown where the Ford family also ran

a powder mill that supplied needed powder

for the early war effort. During World War

I, our state was a center of shipbuildingand manufacturing. That continued in

World War II as many of our nation’s bat-

tleships, aircraft carriers, heavy cruisers

and destroyers were built in our shipyards.

Promoting tourism by highlighting theseplaces and events via the internet is an

opportunity we should take advantage of.”

The bill, A-4278, requires the Division

of Travel and Tourism in the Department

of State, in consultation with the New

Jersey Historical Commission, to developa list and an online historic tour of war bat-

tles fought and places of historic signifi-

cance to the military and war efforts in NJ.

Support groups for families, and children, facing

issues are growing in the area as fast as the green

grass and flower buds this spring.Family Alliance Foundation is a new nonprofit cor-

poration in New Jersey with a legacy that is expandingand support groups forming throughout the area, with

divisions and chapters soon to be spreading throughout

the world.

The goal of the alliance is to serve as advocates forthose facing issues and provide solutions whether

through support groups or steering them in the direction

for help and change. The organization is launching its

global movement to heal and strengthen families and

communities.“Our world is in crisis,” say the founders of the

alliance. “Families are divided, divorced and in need of

healing. Our children are in need of compassion, empa-

thy and resources to make them whole. We are advo-

cates who provide solutions through programs thatinclude education, inspiration and motivation. We col-

laborate with other entities who provide food, shelter,

clothing and other resources that help people move from

‘survive’ to ‘thrive.’”

Established in Nov. 2014, the foundation’s purpose is

“to educate and inspire families to grow mentally, phys-ically, financially and spiritually and have them leave a

legacy for all future generations to come,” as stated on

the website.To implement their vision, Dr. Ted Fattoross, Dr.

Debra Brooks and Ginny Gutierrez have partnered to

create the foundation, bringing their knowledge of

speaking, counseling and marketing.“We all know someone whose family is in crisis,”

they say. “The breakdown of our society and the funda-mental reason our systems are broken, is the breakdown

of our families.”

Whether it involves family issues, divorce issues,

alienation, bullying, “We will become the support

group,” says Fattoross, chief executive officer andfounder of the Family Alliance Foundation.

“As parents and grandparents, each of us is charged

with the mission of raising our children to do good in

the world,” organizers say. “Today, as we look to our

own community, there is a need to heal and strengthenour families, as the core of a strong society are strong

families.”

“We will be having legs,” says Fattoross. “We aren’t

stationary or stagnant.” The foundation has created a

Legacy program, another division with chapters around

the world, including most recent chapters being formedin Morristown and Denville.

Through Legacy “we will have events” or support

groups at various locations like Panera Bread or local

libraries. There will be resources for websites steering

where to turn for help, as well as online support groups.“We have an army of people signing up to volunteer

for these groups,” he says. With some form of counsel-

ing background or expertise, Fattoross is looking for

volunteers he will train to start a support group.“We want leaders of chapters of Family Alliance

Foundation all around the world,” says Fattoross, awell-known international keynote speaker, seminar

leader, coach and consultant. “Let’s say you are travel-

ing, you can go to a facilitator there and get similar sup-

port.”

Support group topics will cover many areas such as:family related issues like relationships, stress, values,

ethics and parenting; parental and grandparent alien-

ation; sensitivity training and tolerance for anyone

involved with children, from caretakers, police officers

to judges; anti-bullying; character education; teen preg-nancy; domestic violence and domestic silence; conflict

resolution and peer mediation; career direction and job

readiness; stress and change management.

There are three initiatives of the foundation: family

relationships- to educate and inspire families to grow

mentally, physically, financially, spiritually and abun-dantly; parental alienation- to create awareness, then

educate, and eliminate this cancer to society; and

Judicial, government, legal and law

enforcement - to form an alliance with

the "systems" that are charged with the

responsibility to manage our children and

families, to collaborate through programsas a means to “foster a deeper sensitivity

to the needs of everyone while always

having the best interest of the children in

mind.”

Many issues faced by children, such as

anti-bullying and suicide, can be reduced if they had the proper role models at home,

says Fattoross.

“If the children don’t find the heroes at

the dinner table, they will find them in the

street,” he says. “It all starts in the home.

No child was ever born a bully.

“Children, they might do as we say,

they might do as we do,” says Fattoross.

“A hero is not a dad who makes a milliondollars.” A hero is a dad or a mom who

gave up their scholarships so they can be

home with their mother who has cancer, so

“they ended up flipping burgers rather than

going to NYU.“It’s not how much gold we leave our

children that’s important; it’s how little

baggage we pass on to them that truly mat-

ters,” says Fattoross, 57, father of three

Global Movement Underway...kids who calls himself “a recovering

work-a-holic.”

Noted as having the “world’s record” of the largest number of speaking presenta-

tions, Fattoross spends a great deal of time

discussing the issues and delivering moti-vational speeches to various audiences

from schools to prisons, corporations andeven homeless shelters.

He has spent the last 25 years present-

ing 8,500 speaking presentations through-

out the world, inspiring more than 250,000

people each year “to be the best they can

be.” He has covered 2,000 topics fromcharacter education, values and ethics,

anti-bullying programs, leadership and

teamwork; featured on national television,

radio programs and newspapers; and

served on the advisory boards of Fortune500 companies, government, non-profit

and educational agencies.

Through all his work and knowledge,

Fattoross decided it was time to “pay this

forward.” He joined forces with Dr. Debra

Brooks, executive director of the founda-tion, who works in Washington, DC, as a

counselor dealing with issues from teen

pregnancy, family, divorce and separation;

as well as Ginny Gutierrez, foundationpresident, who specializes in marketing

and research.

Fattoross says “we have a moral obliga-tion to help each other. I believe that when

we go through struggle, we have a moralobligation to tell our story, to have our vic-

tory lift up others to give them the oppor-

tunity to escape their personal crises.

There is purpose in our pain.”

He notes that the message he is trying to

share is “not limited to my time, myresources, my ability” but will instead rely

on “an army of individuals whose support

groups around the world can support,

encourage and inspire, resolve issues and

problems that we face as a global commu-nity.”

For more information, go to www.fam-

ilyalliance.org; or call 609-772-7407. The

foundation is hiring mentors, leaders,

coaches, consultants and counselors to run

support groups, and is always in need of volunteers.

Like other leprechauns, SillyMcGilly returned to Ireland lastmonth to make more shoes, but his

time here was well spent entertaining

young and old during the St. Patrick’s Dayholiday.

Who is Silly McGilly?-some may ask.He is a new leprechaun friend created bythree women of New Jersey, one who livesright in Morris County. Michelle Coffey-Dougherty of Montville, along with hersister Eileen Coffey-Cowley of Sea Girt,and their sister-in-law Victoria Clark-Coffey of Basking Ridge are the authors of “Silly McGilly.”

Their book, Silly McGilly was written

two years ago in 2013, but first sold instores last year. Dougherty held a bookreading at the Learning Express Toys inMorristown last month during ReadAcross America Week.

With cupid on Valentine’s Day, and theEaster Bunny on Easter, why not inbetween introduce a “cute and clever lep-rechaun” parade into St. Patrick’s Day.

“In an often overlooked family holiday,

Silly McGilly is a breath of fresh air,” asstated in the book’s press release. “He vis-its homes and classrooms to play fun littletricks on children in the month, weeks,days leading up to St. Patrick’s Day.”

Michelle says she thought of the ideaafter Christmas time when her seven-yearold son was saying how sad he was thatChristmas was over, ‘what do we have tolook forward to?’

“We have a leprechaun but he comesone night,” explains Michelle, so why notcreate a character to help raise awarenessof the tradition and create great familymemories.

As Irish Americans, the three authorswanted “to breathe some new life into St.

Patrick’s Day,” especially having 10 chil-dren between them, and their “immenselove for family traditions.”

Six months to write, the three sistersmet regularly to complete their book. “Weall sat together; cousins would sit and playand we would all work,” sales Michelle,former pre-K through second gradeteacher. With sales, marketing and teach-ing in their background, the sisters com-

Michelle Coffey-Dougherty and Victoria Coffey.

bined their skills to self-publish a creativechildren’s book.

"Silly McGilly is a labor of love for ourentire family," said Eileen Cowley. "We

were all brought up to appreciate our Irishculture and particularly enjoyed the funand revelry of St. Patrick's Day. However,

201.991.4165OR

201.401.4525 we also recognized that there was no defin-ing story or character that young childrencould embrace, both literally and figura-tively. And so, Silly McGilly was born!"

The book tells the story of the very lov-able Silly McGilly. Silly is a friendly lep-rechaun who enjoys visiting homes and

classrooms to play funny little tricks onchildren throughout the St. Patrick's Dayseason.

For some, Silly can visit every day inMarch, others once a week, or the daybefore St. Patrick's Day.

In Michelle’s house, Silly McGilly vis-its for 17 days in March leading up to St.Patrick’s Day. She uses it when Marchbegins.

“When you read the book you put thedoll by the window as an indication for the

real Silly McGilly to come into your hometo do a trick,” explains Michelle. Thenevery day, kids wake up to new tricks bythe green leprechaun.

Examples of tricks, which are also out-lined in the book, include turning toiletbowl water green, or pictures turnedupside down.

“Maybe he's left some treats behindsuch as chocolate coins, shamrocks or St.Patrick's Day stickers. Or, maybe he's beenup to a little mischief, turning over chairs,

writing on the blackboard, or leaving thekitchen cabinets open.”

Michelle says, “It’s up to each parent todecide what they want to do.” Parents andkids come up creative ideas each day. Then

after St. Patrick’s Day, “he goes back toIreland to making shoes because that’swhat leprechauns do.”

“We created a family tradition,” saysMichelle. “Kids are excited, they look for-ward to it. Kids wake up and are excited.It’s a great tradition creating family mem-

ories. Children grow up so quickly. It’ssomething to enjoy with the whole family.It’s a great tradition whether you are Irishor not.”

Teachers are using it in classrooms,pre-kindergarten through third grade, in all50 states.

Last year, Silly McGilly was so popularhe sold out. This year, sales have doubledand orders are still coming in. Michellewas heading to Ireland to meet with a giftshop owner to carry Silly McGilly there.

A fun new children’s hard-cover book,Silly McGilly is 24 pages long and self-published. Each book comes with an eightinch, soft, plush leprechaun.

“Whether you’re Irish or not, wonder-ful memories are waiting for you with thisnew St. Patrick's Day tradition!”
