Story by Jodi Ilsye
Acura of Denville has served NorthJersey for more than twenty years,but on Saturday October 22, the
dealership putall paws on deck for petsafe-
ty. Along with partner Mt. Pleasant AnimalShelter, Acura of Denville hosted amicrochipping clinic to help local pet own-ers protect the furry and fluffy members oftheir families.
Unlike tags or collars, microchips last alifetime. Like a permanent pet ID, they arecurrently the most effective way of reunit-ing missing pets with their owners. That day
over fifty dogs and cats were chipped at aspecial discounted rate, offering pet ownersa peace of mind Vice President StevenLustig understands all too well. I was dev-astatedwhen my dog Belle went missing for
a few hours,he says.(Shewas off on a soloexplorationmission.) I knowwhat a differ-encea chipcan make. Im gladwe can offerthis service to our customers.
Lustigs passion for animals runs in thefamily. The Lustigs are longtime supportersof pet adoption and welfare. In addition tosupporting national organizations as theASPCAand the US Humane Society, Acura
Acura of Denvilles Pet Project of Denville has assisted local Greyhoundadoption services and is a major supporterof Mt. Pleasant Animal Shelter. Jax, theLustig family s Bearded Colli e, a Mt .Pleasant Animal Shelter adoptee, can oftenbe foundon the showroom floorat Acura ofDenville greeting customers. He was a tail-wagging presence at the microchippingevent, welcoming animals from the shelterstill looking fortheir foreverhome and nuz-zling noses with visitors on their way to thewater bowl. Dealership staff was on hand toserve treats to the guests and their keepers.
This isnt the first time Acura of Denvilleand Mt. Pleasant Animal Shelter have col-
laborated for a good cause. In September,the dealership was a platinum sponsor ofMutts Mania at Lurker Park in EastHanover where over 800 guests, staff andvolunteers enjoyed browsing more than 50different vendors and pets got to try thedoggie agility classes, compete in the pettrick contestsand enjoy samples of toys andtreats.After thesuccessof the inaugural PetMicrochipping Clinic, the hope is that itwill become an annual event at the dealer-ship in the future. Jax has given it his fourlicks and a woof approval.

It's the season for pumpkin picking, pumpkin
carving, pumpkin pies, pumpkin seeds and
pumpkinchucking.
Yes, chucking pumpkin contests in whichteams use hand-built motor-less devices to
chuckor sling a pumpkin as faras they could.
Not only did students from the Mt. Olive
High School Robotics Team chuck their
pumpkin with their 18-foot tall pumpkin
chucking design, but they threw their pump-
kin the furthestat lastmonth'spumpkin sling-
ing event, breaking all records and winning
first place for the second year in a row.
Representing the MO Robotics team were
30 students in grades 9 through 12 who
attended the 2nd annual NJ Last Fling
Pumpkin Sling event on Sunday, Oct. 23, in
Harmony. They competed against 20 other
teams.
David Bodmer, robotics engineering
teacher at MOHS in charge of MORT, could-
n't be more proud of his students.
"We did exactly what we hoped to do
which is win," he says. "It was pretty excit-
ing." Bodmer explained that the object of the
MOHS Robotics Team Pumpkin Chucking Champscontest is to throw the pumpkin as far as you
can.
MORT's pumpkin reached 959 feet this
year, beating its own record of 548 feet last
year. Warren Hills Regional High School
received secondplace this year by slingingits
pumpkin 501 feet.
In order to compete, MORT had to use
"basicphysics andmathto getthisthing to go
as far as possible. They don't let you use any
power. It all has to be human power" like
sheer weights. MORT had to bring its own
two to three pound gourd to throw.
"Look for the roundest one possible,"
advises Bodmer, since odd shapes do not go
through the air as smoothly as rounder
objects.
The local team competed in theTrebuchet
Floating Arm with Power Added contest.
Working on its design since August, MORT
began building in September and after three
weeks completed the finished product which
is18 ft. talland12 to16 ft. wide.

heseniorsofMt.OliveTownshiphavebeen
featuredthesepast fewweeks ina newpilot
show broadcasted on MOTV-cablevision
channel21andFioschannel32.Called Silver and Gold, viewers can
take a closer look into the programs and
activities offered to the 5,000 seniors who
live in the township. The 30-minute show
was first airedduring the secondweekof Oct.
and was scheduled to run for four weeks,
everyday at 1 p.m., and Monday, Wednesday
and Friday at 8:30 a.m.
The show about the senior program in
town is one of the first steps that have been
taken in expanding broadcasting coverage on
MOTV, in addition to council meetings that
have also been broadcasted on the channelevery two weeks at 8 p.m.
Produced and operated through Mt. Olive
High School, the MOHS television produc-
tion program know as MOTV- Mt. Olive
Television- has centered its program on high
school sporting events and other news within
the high school. MOTV has grown since its
inception in 2002 from an in-house broadcast
New Pilot Show Features Senior Silver and Gold
systeminside the school to 1,500 viewers to a
live broadcast to more than 24,000 viewersthroughout Mt. Olive.
In its ninth year at MOHS, MOTV was
launched to the community on Jan.15, 2010.
MOTV provides public service announce-
ments, an in house-sporting production and
Marauder Madness- a morning news show
aired three times weekly.
Fundsfor area broadcasting, as well as the
production set, have been allocated through a
grant from Television Networks and a part-
nership with MSGVarsity.
While news at the high school is interest-ing to some, others would like a broader
range of programs on the station, which was
donated to the town by cablevision.
Councilman PatWalshhas beenexploringcoverage on even more areas throughout
town such as the Chamber of Commerce to
highlight businesses in town, and the
Historical Society. While the town hasnot put
any money toward MOTV, Walsh says the
concept may be considered as part of the
townships budget for next year.
Right now its donations and volunteers,
says Walsh, active liaison to MOTV. Its a
growing thing as we evolve as a station. We
want more public input. Im very excited
about the Mt. Olive TV station. Its great forthe town. Its great for school spirit.

ont let last months sneak peak at
winter with 14 inches of snow deter
any plans for fall maintenance orlandscaping. Snow was melted as of dead-
line so property owners may want to deter-
mine whether any services are needed
before the real storms settle in for winter.

Flanders, customers receive top quality
services in custom landscaping, weekly
lawn maintenance, hardscaping, excavation
and drainage. In bus iness since 1996,

Management from County College of
Morris in Randolph.The part of the business I enjoy most is
watching the project come to life during the
installation/construction to the completion
of that project, says Brain Beaumont.
Design is his specialty.
He is good at designing, says a
spokesperson for Beaumont , in doing
designs for yards such as planting as well
as designing patios. He can foresee a pic-
ture of something even in addition to what
the customer wants. Hes goodat modifying
what they suggested.
Beaumont says, I am willing to work
with the customer's budget, large or small.
During the project, a customer may request
"add ons" of a sitting wall, pillars, fire pit,
water features etc. I am willing to make
suggestions and work with them to person-
alize their plans. "No two jobs are the
same; some are similar but never the same
when Beaumont Landscaping does the job."

tomer's budget, says Beaumont.

Walsh approached the Mt. Olive Senior
Club in 2010 with hisideaof the senior show.
None of us had any idea what we were
doing, says Ray Oser of Budd Lake, presi-
dent of the Mt. Olive Seniors, who is inter-
viewed in the pilot show by show
host/moderator Warren Wormann, Mt. Olive
resident for 51 years. The show got its name
for Silver haired and Golden years,
explains Oser. It covers three ten minute seg-
ments.
The purpose ofSilver and Gold isto show
viewers, mainly seniors, activities, health
issues andother issues to improve their qual-
ity of life, says Oser. It is the who, what,
where, why for their needs.
The pilot show was aired at the Mt. Olive
Senior Center building and municipal build-
ing. High school students filmed and edited
the show, but producing, ideas, scripting,
location shoots and content was all done by
three seniors including Oser; Matt Okeefe,
committee chair; and Sandra Masklee, com-
mittee member.
As we move from one segment to anoth-
er we show seniors in action, says Oser.
Currently 230 members belong to the Mt
Olive Senior group and participate in daily
events and activities such as bowling, minia-ture golf, dances, meals and bustrips. Were
trying to show seniors in action doing things;
because you get up in age doesnt mean you
have to sit still, he says.
Cost for the senior show was $500, fund-
ed throughsponsorsand thesenior clubbudg-
et. Monies will go into a scholarship fund at
the high school in which students will earn
credi ts through their work with MOTV
whether it is editing or filming. The more
credits the more scholarship funding theycan
get, explains Oser.
Oser and his committee have other ideas
for future shows such as information on
taxes,the police chief and town nurse so the
seniors have a face and name andif they have
an issue they know who to approach,
explainsOser. Anotheridea is to interview an
auto mechanic to go over the basics so younow you have a little knowledge and assur-
ance of what youare doing so youknowwhat
you are doing when you have your car serv-
iced so you are not taken, so you are armed.
Maybe a show on computers or technol-
ogy, says Oser, an active member of thesen-
ior group with his wife Maria Aidee since
2005. How many seniors know how to use
an iphone or an ipad? Can seniors get infor-
mation other ways? Yes, but 2/3 of seniors
dont know how to use a computer or where
to get information or how to look for it.Oser, who retired in 2004 after owning his
own computer repair business, says he would
hope to broadcast a new senior show once a
monthbut no exact plansor commitments are
in place.
We hope to bring good quality to channel
21, says Oser.
Andrew Roberts, Performing Arts Center
coordinator and executive producer for
MOTV, as well as Chris Praml, television
production and broadcast teacher at MOHS,
were skeptical about any future programming
of the senior show and were unaware of a
show featuring the Chamber of Commerce as
of press time.
Whether the senior show will continue is
unknown, but Oser says he has enjoyed the
experience so far.
Its been quite an eye opener, says Oser
about his experience in putting together the
senior show. Its been fun. Its been quite an
education. If you are not moving forward,
you are moving backward. It keeps us think-
ing. The body- themore youare thinking, the
more you are alive.

ing to Jim Peterson of Long Valley,
owner/chief instructor of the institute.
It s more li fe ski ll s than anything
else, says Peterson. We specialize inkids life skills, structure and discipline. I
have a lot of structure here. We teach
respect first. Thank-you; yes sir; no sir.
Peterson says, I want them to be ladies

nicest, nastiest kids that I can.
Established in 1995, Peterson offers

Goshin Ryu; cardio karate; boxing; kick-
boxing; mixed martial arts; and a new
class- Brazilian Jiu Jitsu taught by recently
hired Prof. Paola Barbosa, a Brazilian Jiu

ground fighting such as rolls, take downs
and locks, explains Peterson, a ret iredSheriffs lieutenant from Morris County
Sheriffs.
Current specials include: $30 fee for

"It was a lot bigger than last year," says
Bodmer, who was very thankful to the dozen
mentors and Black River Custom Cabinets in
Budd Lake- Owners David Pariseau and
James Gallo- who "have been kind enough toopen their shop to let us build this year's
design since it's so large!"
Besides opening their workshop, Pariseau
and Gallo let MORT use their equipment;
Pariseau also let the group use his pick-up
truck with an attached trailer to transport the
pumpkin slinging machine.
"Without David's efforts of opening the
shop and getting it to and from we
wouldn't be able to do it at all," says
Bodmer. MORT paid for the lumber, with the
final product costing $800, monies that camefrom the MORT budget and sponsors, he
says.
"We needed a big workshop with a big
ceiling," explains Bodmer. "We don't have the
physical space to build something so big at
the high school. This year we wanted to do it
bigger and better."
As winners two years in row, MORT got
to keep their trophy from last year as its prize.
"It's more for all of us to have fun," says
Bodmer. "This is more fun, more of a positive
for us; to go through the engineering process
with zero stress setting," as opposed to the
school year when MORT's competes in vari-
ous competitions.
MORT also recently competed in the
World Punkin Chunkin event in Nassau, DE,
from Nov. 4 to Nov. 6. Competing for the first
time and the only rooky team to enter, MORT
faced 10 other teams throughout the countryin this year's event, which has been running
since 2001.
Although "Our goal is to get 1,000 feet,"
Bodmer had said before the contest, MORT
reached 752 feet, winning third place. "Great
effort for our first time at the Punkin
Chunkin," he says.
The requirement for the DE event was to
throw a pumpkin four pounds or larger. "It's a
heavier pumpkin so with number crunching
and physics, we figured out what we need to
do."The World Punkin Chunkin event will be
broadcasted on the Discovery andScience
Channel on Thanksgiving, Thursday, Nov.
24, at 8 p.m.
It's just a great chance for these students to
get rolling with engineering, design process,
working with teams and working with men-
tors, explains Bodmer.
"It's a living and breathing thing that they
made," he says. "It gives these students hands
on real world experience that they don't get in
the classroom setting. It's an exciting thing.
It's really a cool experience for them. Taking
a task and getting it to work the way you want
it to work. It's a fun way for them to do their
math and science."
Throwing pumpkins is just the beginning
of what is in store for MORT this school year.
The MORT team will receive a design chal-
lenge on Jan. 7; will work for six weeks dur-
ing its design season; then attend competitionevents in March and April.
For the 2012 season, Mt. Olive High
School has been chosen for the first time ever
to host a robotics event by FIRST- "For
Inspiration and Recognition of Science and
Technology."
On March 29 to April 1, MORT will host
42 teams for a FIRST Robotics Competition.
FRC combines the excitement of sport with
the rigors of science and technology. It's as
close to "real-world engineering" as a student
can get.
"FIRST picked us," says Bodmer, along
with four other schools in the region to host
events for the 2012 season. "It's a lot ofwork," says Bodmer,
adding that planning committees have
already been established "to make sure we are
ready for what's coming."
Bodmer concludes, "We are proud of
everything we do here. Our team is ready to
welcome other teams to our school here."

Subaru, one of the most
respected automotive
brands, is growing
strong in Morris and WarrenCounties thanks to the addi-
tion of the Subaru of Mt.
Olive dealership nearly four
years ago. Offering all-
wheel-drive on every model,
leading consumer magazines
constantly recognize Subaru
for its strong safety record
and its commitment to fine
engineering. And while many
cars look similar, Subaru
stands apart because of itstechnology, safety, and resale
reputation.
So what makes a Subaru
truly different?
Symmetrical All-Wheel
Drive. Control the road.
For true control behind
the wheel, a driver needs
balance and an even distri-
bution of power that sup-
plies maximum traction to
every tire, rather than the
slip-then-grip alternative.
Every Subaru comes stan-
dard with Symmetrical All-
Wheel Drive for better sta-
bility, efficiency and a
quicker response to slipperyconditions. To be efficient
and durable, Symmetrical
All-Wheel Drive mounts the
engine in-line with the dri-
vetrain and that, in turn,
helps provide a seamless
transfer of power to all four
wheels. Other AWD sys-
tems need additional, com-
plex drivetrain components
to route the power to the
wheels the more compo-
nents in a car, the greater
likelihood of higher service
costs.
Stability and Control of
All-Wheel-Drive
Front-wheel drive vehi-
cles generally understeer or
push in a turn; rear-wheel
drive vehicles oversteer in a
turn. The Subarus balanced
design of Symmetrical All-
Wheel Drive helps add con-
trol through uniform stabili-
ty power is distributed to
the wheels with the best
traction and helps the driver
hold true to the path.
World-Leading Trans-missions
Smoother performance.
Greater efficiency. Subaru
gives you both with innova-
tive transmission technology
that functions perfectly with
the SUBARU BOXER
engine and Subaru
Symmetrical All-Wheel
Drive. Additionally, trans-
missions are designed to be
lightweight and contribute
to keeping the Subaru agile
and fuel efficient.
Automatic Mode
Continuously Variable
Transmission (CVT)
C VT can reduce the
amount you spend on fuel.
Leave it in the Automatic
mode, and the gearless
transmission infinitely
adjusts to match your accel-
eration needs, thus eliminat-
ing the need to shift. CVT
also preserves the vehicle's
momentum and uses a step-
less gear ratio that allows theSubaru engine to run at its
optimal power range for
improved fuel economy and
performance.
SUBARU BOXER
Engine. Flat. Smooth.
Smart.
Drawn from a century of
intelligent performance, the
horizontal layout of the
SUBARU BOXER engine
combines balance with
power and efficiency. And
every Subaru comes with a
SUBARU BOXER
engine.Horizontal Piston Design
Like the jabs of a boxer,
where the engine got its
name, the SUBARU
BOXER layout allows the
engine to be positioned in-
line with the drivetrain for
maximum transfer of power.
Many other engines are
transverse, or turned perpen-
dicular, and require addi-
tional drivetrain components
to transfer power, reducing
vehicle efficiency.
Available in small, medi-
um, and large, all Subarumodels are worth a good
look. Symmetrical all-
wheel-drive, exceptional
fuel economy, a phenomenal
safety record, and low lease
or purchase options, make
Subaru a smart buy. To

ASK ABOUT OUR FLEXIBLE HOURS!
By Cheryl Conway
Sticks and stones may break my bones but names
may never harm me, does not hold true anymore
especially when it comes to cyberbullying.
This was the message relayed by Detective Supervisor
Mark Castellano of the Morris County Prosecutors Officeon Monday night, Oct. 24, during a Parent Awareness
Program at the Mt. Olive High School Performing Arts
Center. Castellano spoke for one hour to about 30 parents in
attendance about Harassment, Intimidation & Bullying
[HIB] and amendments to the law.
Understanding cyberbullying, increasing awareness of
how it affects students, and learning how to respond when
an incident occurs are steps that can stop a bully in action.
Students, teachers, administrators, bus drivers and parents
need to work together to prevent or control situations in
which students do become threatened on school property
whether on the playground, school bus, classroom and morerecently technological devices like cell phones, computers
and ipads.
Nobody is taking into consideration the profound
impact it [cyberbullying] is having on these kids, says
Castellano. These bullies are manipulative. If we dont
know there is a problem we cant fix it.
Cyberbullying is the act of sending harmful or cruel text
messages, emails or images through the internet, telephone
or other technological devices. It is also creating websites
that have stories, cartoons, pictures and jokes that make fun
of others.
An example can be when someone decides to video a
school yard fight from their cell phone and then post it on
u-tube, explains Castellano. It doesnt end with an inci-
dent. It continues with emails and text messages. The cycle
is never broken.
Think about these embarrassing moments and putting
them in a forummakes it much worse, he says.Everyone has phones and computers.
Castellano talks how his two sons every evening
accessing the computer to do homework. Its an integral
part of our society.but with great benefits comes liability.
We cant live without the technology.
The highest incidents of cyberbullying occur in grades K
through fifth. This is when it starts, he says. Most fifth
graders and 75 percent of fourth graders have cell phones
and first graders use computers. It really affects these ele-
mentary kids. If thats how it is when they are young, it only
gets worse.
Castellano explains two types of bullying: Direct- whichis sending a message directly to the victim; and Proxy-
which is getting others involved in the attack, either with or
without the accomplices knowledge.
Think about a 12 or 15 year old getting all these texts,
explains Castellano. Hes thinking Im the tar-
geteverybody doesnt like me. Thatll hurt. Nobody
thinks how the words are going to hurt the victim.
Bullying can come in various forms: a direct attack- such
as a blog like an online personal journal or diary in which
other people can comment on; form spring-when you can
put a picture up and get an anonymous rating; and internet
polling-whos hot, whos not, do you like me?
Such questions are offensive and another way to bully
other people on line, he says. We are going to expose our-
selves to criticism that is unwelcome and unnecessary.
People are going to say mean things because its funny. I tell
them if you have nothing nice to say then say nothing.
Castellano gives an example about reading a card.People reread cards to make them feel good, he
explains. Cards that say I love you or words of encour-
agement. The same goes with inappropriate text or email
messages.
If the good stuff makes us feel good, how bad does the
bad text make us feel, especially when they keep rereading
it.
Sticks and stones may break my bones but names may
never harm me doesnt hold true anymore, says
Castellano. The hurtful wordsthey hang on us like
proverbial tattoos.
Castellano cites several incidents in which students havecommitted suicide from cyberbullying.
Last year, New Jersey stepped in along with other states
in the nation to toughen its laws on bullying.
Following media coverage surrounding multiple student
suicides, the New Jersey Legislature passed the Anti-
Bullying Bill of Rights Act with nearly unanimous support
in both houses on Nov. 22, 2009. Gov. Chris Christie signed
the legislation on Jan. 5, 2010. The law strengthened the
states already existing anti-bullying legislation and went
into full effect in the 2011-12 school year.
Amendments to the HIB law doesnt necessarily change

Lack of FIRM decision onTrick/Treating on Halloween
A
s a Mt. Olive resident, I was deeply disappointed
in our township's lack of leadership regarding
trick/treating on Halloween.After reading an email circulated by the Mayor, I
assumed a decision would be followed and that resi-
dents would be alerted via the Honeywell emergency
system. Unfortunately, what residents of Mt. Olive
received was a mere "suggestion" of keeping our chil-
dren indoors and postponing trick/treating until the
weekend. This led to a series of calls/emails between
friends who were trying to decide what to do (it didn't
say no trick/treating, afterall).
The celebration of Halloween with trick/treating in
communities is a community event - success is depend-
ent on the support of the community. With only a "sug-
gestion" put out to Mt. Olive residents instead of a
FIRM decision, our community was divided.
WHY a firm decision could not be made when
SAFETY was the primary concern is a concern in itself
- as with many towns around us, there were people with
power and many without, yet those towns had no prob-
lem making a definitive decision - a decision that held
their communities together!
What happened Mt. Olive? What was supposed to
be a fun, family celebration ended up being a logistical
nightmare for many parents! Community is ALL or
Nothing!

On Saturday, October 29th, 7AM, the
American Red Cross arrived at the
Knights of Columbus, Blessed
Mother Seton Council 5410 Hall in
Flanders, NJ for a scheduled blood drive.For many of us there might have been a hint
of snow coming, but at 7AM, the blood
drive scheduled for that day was a "GO". By
8:30AM we were ready for customers and
unfortunately by noon ready to shut down.
We were able to collect donations from 13,
some who were scheduled and a few early
walk-ins. Unfortunately we had to cancel
others who were scheduled later in the day.
Inspite of the unpredicted and rather unsea-
sonal expectation of the Nor'easter that fol-
lowed that day, 13 pints were gathered, and
these were 13 more than what we started
with. So, in many ways a net gain for the
Knights & the American Red Cross.The Knights of Columbus and the
American Red Cross were not defeated by
'mother nature', not by any stretch of the
imagination. We have just begun and we
will have more blood drives in the future. I
thank the Red Cross and their personnel for
venturing out this day and for their dedica-
tion to this all important task of keeping the
blood banks filled.

Acavalcade of musicians and artists
from New Jersey, have left theirmark in music history by following
their hopes and dreams. One Mt Olive band
is trying to walk the same path to fame, as
the Mt. Olive indie rock/ surf rock band,
Rewind the Crisis look to expand their fan
base any way they can. The band currently
made up of members Peter Diamantis (gui-
tarist), Matthew Pisserchio (guitarist) , and
George Hidreth (drummer) are currently
entered in a contest for a chance to be dis-
covered, and are slowly building an audi-
ence through the internet and social media.The Guitar Center sponsored contest is
called WhoozNXT, and encourages local
bands, singers and songwriters to register
for the contest in order for a chance at
$10,000 cash, new gear from Fender,
Taylor, Shure, and Ernie Ball, and studio
time with Grammy Award winning produc-
er John Shanks . The only rule of the con-
test, is to get as many fans as possible using
social media sites like twitter, YouTube,
Soundcloud, Facebook, and other sites to
spread the word. John Shanks has worked
with several ground breaking performers
such as Carlos Santana, Keith Urban, Sting
and Celine Dion.Rewind the Crisis is currently ranked #8
in the contest and is slowly climbing up the
charts, using social media to their advan-
tage. The fan count up is now up to 12,372
fans and is growing every day. Rewind the
Crisis describes where their name came
from and why they entered the contest:
Matthew, our lead guitarist, signed us
up to see if we could even break the top 100.
Truth be told, we are now in the top 10 out
5,000+ bands worldwide, we had an origi-
nal band of 4 members and we decided todrop the bassist and the drummer, the added
our good friend, George. Therefore we
became a 3 member band. The name simply
came from a friend stating it as a joke and
we put it in with a couple other names and
voted, "Rewind the Crisis" won the voting.
The band also cites artists like John
Lennon, Jerry Garcia, Jack Steadman, and
Benjamin Thompson as influences in their
music which they describe as pop sound-
ing with rock elements and a beachy feel.
The Band can be seen playing in many
Help Support Mt. Olives Own Rewind the Crisis,in Their Quest to be Discovered
local music spots such as the Blairstown
theatre, The Canvas Clash in Boonton NJ,
and the Sherman Theatre in StroudsburgPA. Not bad considering the band was cre-
ated just this year. The band welcomes the
prize money and the chance to work with
John Shanks hoping to use the money to get
brand new equipment for the next chapter of
their band. For more information on
Rewind the Crisis you can go to

And if youre one of the 47
Million Americans who still
smokes this is your wake
up call! GASO day is
almost here!
GASO stands for The
Great American Smokeout,
which is observed annually
on the third Thursday of
November. GASO day isintended to encourage peo-
ple to butt out and abstain
from smoking cigarettes for
24 hours in hopes that this
challenge will help them to
quit forever.
Statistics show that 70%
of current smokers actually
want to quit smoking, but
find it too difficult. In fact,
millions of these people try
to quit smoking every year,
but several do not succeed.If you are one of these peo-
ple, then you already know
how difficult it can be.
Research shows that
Nicotine can be just as
addictive as hardcore drugs
like heroin and cocaine.
When conventional
methods of quitting fail,
smokers often look to alter-
native medicine for assis-tance. Acupuncture, a suc-
cessful alternative and
holistic approach, has con-
verted a growing number of
cigarette smokers into per-
manent ex-smokers. Did
you know that Acupuncture
is now court mandated in
some cases for the treatment
of drug addictions? This is
because Acupuncture has
been proven to reduce crav-ings and alleviate the
unwanted withdrawal
symptoms like anxiety, irri-
tability and difficulty con-
centrating. Results from
one study, conducted at the
University of Oslo in
Norway, showed that
Acupuncture significantly
reduced the desire to smoke
for up to five years follow-
ing the initial treatment.
Subjects from the study alsoreported that the taste of
cigarettes was much worse
following the Acupuncture
treatment. So, the treat-
ments actually help to
reduce the patients taste for
tobacco.
So you are probably
wondering how
Acupuncture actually helps
you to butt out. The sim-plistic answer to this ques-
tion is that Acupuncture
helps to put the body back
into balance. Any time we
have a symptom, illness,
disease, or in this case with-
drawal or addiction it means
that there is some imbalance
occurring in the body. This
imbalance is corrected with
the insertion of tiny needles
into the body. Acupuncturehas a profound affect on all
of the human bodys com-
plex systems (in the case of
smoking addiction-the nerv-
ous system, the circulatory
system and the respiratory
system) and the treatments
help to correct any imbal-
ances in the body.
The Acupuncture treat-
ments are focused on elimi-
nating the withdrawal
symptoms associated with
the addiction. So in addi-
tion to promoting relax-
ation, Acupuncture helps to
reduce cravings, jitters, anx-
iety, irritability and restless-
ness. The treatments are tai-
lored to the individual,
based on specific needs.
Generally, tiny needles are
inserted into various points
on the ears and body toassist with the smoking ces-
sation. The needles are usu-
ally retained for about 30
minutes, during which
patients are encouraged to
relax or even take a nap.
Sometimes, Chinese Herbs
are also prescribed to assist
in the process.
In addition, here are
some helpful lifestyle and
dietary changes that can
make quitting smoking easi-
er:
- Drink Lobelia or Green
Tea during the detox period
to help discourage nicotine
cravings. These teas help to
rid the body of toxins and
Green Tea, in particular, is a
natural substance that helps
to reduce Cortisol (the stuff
that is released when our
bodies are under stress).
- Drink plenty of water.
Dryness can increase crav-
ings for cigarettes.
- Take deep breaths!
Oxygen is free and it helps
to calm us down and give us
energy.
- Avoid junk food, sugar
and coffee. These sub-
stances can increase acidity
in the body making with-
drawal symptoms worse.- Increase fruits and veg-
gies! Leafy greens and car-
rots can help decrease acidi-
ty in the body, reducing the
withdrawal symptoms.
- Drink fresh fruit and
vegetable juices to help
flush out nicotinic acid from
the blood and balance blood
sugar.
- Exercise! Exercising
helps to reduce stress and
promote relaxation more
than cigarettes can!

Whether it's food, hats
or mittens, gift cards,
clothing or toys, local
schools get an A+ for their efforts
on giving to local families in need.From Oct. 31 to Nov. 4,
Sandshore Elementary in
Budd Lake has been collect-
ing for the Interfaith Food
Pantry in Morris County.
Students were
asked to bring food into their
classrooms, as well as baby
items and cleaning items.
"We collect every year,
prior to the Thanksgiving
Holiday, so that the FoodPantry can give our items to
people in need in Morris
County over the holiday sea-
son," explains Brinda
Wederich, Sandshore
Guidance Counselor, who
has been leading the school
in this drive since 2007. In
addition, the Interfaith Food
Pantry will service Mt. Olive
families once they qualify for
services, even to the extent ofhaving the items delivered to
their homes.
"Each classroom collects
the food, volunteers help sort
it into boxes, andthe
Interfaith Food Pantry picks
Holiday Giving at Mt. Olive Schoolup the donation," explains
Wederich. "Theyalso weigh
our foodstuffs and let us
know how many pounds we
have collected.I let the stu-
dents know this amountevery year.
Before then, families that
could use a boost over the
holidays receivedcomplete
turkey dinners. Since this
required the families to come
to school to pick up their
donations, and it required the
storage of frozen turkeys, the
project lacked the privacy
that some families may have
preferred, so the project waschanged to its current config-
uration.
"This project is one in
which the students and their
families truly give of them-
selves," says Wederich.
"They have a moment to
think of students and families
who have greater needs than
their own. It is a part of our
character education program
at the school."Giving does not end with
Thanksgiving at Sandshore.
Wederich also organizes the
giving of gift cards during
the winter holidays.
"I determine who needs a
boost this winter season at
school," she says. The gift
cards range from $2-$25 and
are from Baskin Robbins,
Build A Bear, Chuck E
Cheese, Claire's, Cold Stone,Icing, Aeropostale, American
Eagle, The Children's Place,
The Disney Store,
Gymboree, Journey Kids,
Kids Footlocker, Land's End
Kids, and Pottery Barn Kids.
Staff has gift cards on a
holiday tree and they may
take one now, she says. The
gift card says something like
"A Gift Card to Build A Bear
$25." Staff does not learncontinued on page 31

Starting as a group of parents to help each
other and their children, PEC Parents of
Exceptional Children in Roxbury, a 501C3
non-profit organization, focuses on integra-
tive programs to enhance the experiences ofolder children with disabilities, and therefore,
enhance their lives. Think quality of life, and
this ideal becomes a dream then becomes a
reality. Whether its movie night, acting,
karaoke, or a dance, the world has become a
much bigger and better place for them all.
It became evident that something more could
be done, needed to be done for children with
disabilities. Learning challenges receive spe-
cial treatment from the school system, and
though good, may not enough, there are gaps.
Regardless if we are speaking about Autism,Cerabal Palsy, Pervasive Development
Disorders, or Downs Syndrome, support,
education, and specific interaction would
make life better for both the families of these
children, and the children themselves.
Behind the genius of this is simply parents
and sibling, friends and strangers, volunteer-
ing with a some help and some grant monies.
Initially the goals was support and education
among families and among families and pro-
fessional educators and has evolved to enrich-
ment programs that involve real life learning
situations in a way that is fun and inclusive.
Whether its movie night, acting, karaoke, or
a dance, the world has become a much bigger
and better place for these disabled young
adults. Currently three groups are in place,
one more interesting than the other.Meeting twice a month, volunteers and fami-
ly members go for the learning and the fun.
The TGIF Teen Group meets two times a
month at the Roxbury Recreation Center on
Eyland. Often there is a third night for addi-
tional activities with a specific intent. There
may be a movie, a basketball game, or a
theme night. Social appropriateness is so
important, life skills are developed in a way
that is fun among peers. Enrollment can be
increased this year, some of the members
have aged-out. The group is for 14-21 yearolds, there is a yearly registration fee, the
grant money does not cover everything, it
only goes so far.
Perhaps you would be interested in Stage
Left, this year there is also room for expan-
sion which is unusual. During these exciting
get-togethers at the Roxbury Performing Arts
Center, RoxPac, these young people dive into
the theatre arts, work on expressing them-
selves, to use their voice, perform, act, sing,
dance, collaborate.
The element of responsibility comes forefront

as others are dependent on your skills and
commitment to see things through when an
act or a play is in progress. There is the mem-
orization of your lines, the use of your body.
A registration fee is required, this group runs
in sessions of approximately 10 weeks.
Reservations Only is dinner twice a month for
the age group 18-25, arranging and planning
where to go, the invitation list, transportation,
all the logistics of who and how.
Development in social arenas with the public
engages the wait staff, the valet, paying the
bills and using currency. These events add
endless personal development skills to the
repertoire - social competence, independence,
considering those with allergies. There are
many more programs for younger people, this

It rarely snows in October. In fact, this
Noreaster that hit the east coast twodays before Halloween this year was an
anomaly. It was only the fourth October
snowstorm in more than one hundred years!
And we witnessed the reason why.
Branches that had yet to shed their autumn
leaves, became laden with snow and gave
way to their heavy burden.
When you think about it, the cycle of theseasons is an amazing design. Mother
Nature waiting patiently until her trees have
dropped their leaves before sprinkling the
snows of Winter, inherently protecting
them from disaster. But this timeit didnt
Bearing Scarswork. This time, an unforeseen and rare
occurrence took place and many trees were
damaged or lost.I suppose the storm is kind of like life.
You move in your ordinary cycle, becoming
complacent, expecting that one day will be
the same as the next. Then out of the blue,
an unusual storm rolls in. A storm you
arent prepared to weather, you become bat-
tered and scarred.
Out in front of our house, we have an
ornamental red maple. A small, wide, pret-
ty tree that marks the entrance to our home.
About two weeks ago I noticed it was get-
ting a bit full and thought I should prune itback. But other tasks took my time and
attention and I never got around to cutting
it.
When the storm hit this weekend, like
many other trees around, our little maple
was tested. Those branches, which I hadnt
thinned out and lightened, collected the
heavy snow, and when the burden became
too much to bear, the tree split under the
duress. The left side of our little tree tore
away, leaving it asymetrical and scarred.
As I cleared away the damaged part of
the tree I thought about how we would need
to replace it come Springtime. It no longer
looks perfect and inviting. But the longer Iworked in its presence, the more I realized,
we all carry our scars, some on the inside,
some on the outside. Scars from broken
hearts and lost loved ones, scars from sur-
geries that removed a cancer or repaired a
broken spine, scars that helped shape us into
the resilient souls we are today. And its
these scars, our imperfections that make us
all the more beautiful.
Ill leave that little ornamental maple in
place. It has a story to tell. It says, I
weathered the storm. I may be beaten andbruised, but my roots are strong. I may not
look as youd expect, but I am alive and
beautiful all the same. Maybe even more
so, because I have endured hardship and I
have survived.
Our little tree reminds me that you dont
give up on a living thing because its dam-
aged. You love it all the more.

the law, explains Castellano, but it changes
the burden on the schools which now have
to report on a timely manner any bullying
incident and then that gets reported to the
state.
The governor is putting a lot of attention
on bullying incidences, says Castellano, and
there will be consequences and legal ramifi-
cations. Charges range from disorderly per-
sons offense for harassment to a third
degree offense for terroristic threats, poten-
tial indictment, criminal record, jail time,
probation and community service.
It is also important to understand the dif-
ferences between bothering and bully-
ing.
Bothering can be when someone takes
anothers stuff; bullying can be when some-
one pushes you and you fall down.
Neither should be tolerated, says
Castellano. Its still going to affect her
ability to learn and her ability to feel safe.
We have to encourage students to come
forward and report, says Castellano.
Suicide, Thats no way out ever. A lot of
times they dont say anything because they
are afraid. Other people who see it must say
its not right.
We have to ensure a safe haven for stu-
dents. If they dont feel safe they cant
learn.
Mt. Olive school district has prepared
itself for the new law by the formation of
school safety teams and appointing a district
anti-bullying coordinator as well as anti-
bullying specialists in each of the six
schools, says Dr. Larrie Reynolds, superin-
tendent of schools.
Faculty, staff, down to the bus drivers
have been trained to what bullying is and
how to deal with it, says Reynolds.
Assemblies and presentations to students
were held in October to each of the schools;
school board members received training;
and newsletters were handed out to parents.
With the new HIB law, changes have
been made on how incidents are reportedand there are established procedures written
into law of what to do in case there is
harassment, explains Reynolds.
There is a new chain of communication
from school board to administration to state
board of education, he explains.
Weve always taken a strong stand
against bullying and harassing, says
Reynolds. Weve never had any kind of
tolerance toward kids who are going to
bully or harass other kids. Were glad this
has been brought up. My question is
continued from page 16
Bullying...whether passing a law will end bullying? I
hope that it does but Im not optimistic. We
have a law against murder but people still
get murdered.
Kids cant control their emotion,
whether it stems from anger or jealousy,
concludes Reynolds. School administra-
tors see this more too often.

cation and then district policies.
