Shane and AustinCummis, a pair of 12

year old twin boys,

both needed haircuts. But

these young, thoughtful,

residents of Roxbury didnt

just want a plain old ordi-

nary haircut; they wanted to

make it into something

more. They offered to

shave their heads in

exchange for donations to

Eleventh Hour Rescue, alocal animal rescue organi-

zation where the Cummis

family recently adopted the

newest addition to their

family, a young puppy

named Zoey. Their parents,

Princy and Joshua, were

very supportive of their

sons initiative. So much so

that Dad actually wielded

the scissors and shaver and

performed the extreme hair-cut on them both.

When asked why they

chose to do a fund raiser,

their response simply was

Its a good thing to do.

The boys are both active in

Boy Scout Troop 54 in

Succasunna, NJ as well as

active on the local sports

scene. Both are 6th graders

at the Canfield Ave School

in Mine Hill, NJ. Theyadopted Zoey recently to

keep their other 3 year-old

adopted dog, Randi, compa-

ny around the house. Princy

Cummis says the boys along

with their sister decided to

use money they received

during the past holiday sea-

son to adopt a dog from a

local shelter.

Their donation drive

yielded an amazing totalamount of $305, an amount

Cummis Twins Shave Their Headsfor Donations

that surpassed their initialexpectations by far. During

the donation presentation to

Eleventh Hour Rescue at the

Enhanced Adoption Center

in the Mt Olive PetSmart,

the boys met one of the

many available dogs, Clyde.

He is a young, Jack Russell

mix who needs to have

abdominal surgery. Once

the boys heard that Clyde

needed medical attention,they insisted that their dona-

tion go directly to help off-

set his vet expenses. This

with family dogs, Randi and Zoey.

present their donation to Katie Tolosi,

help dogs and cats like

Clyde that need medical

attention under the care of

be mailed to: Eleventh

T

he 11th Annual Food For Thought Benefit set for

next month will tempt the palate to fine food and

wine from area restaurants while raising funds for a

good cause.

Hosted by the Mental Health Association of Morris

County, the event is planned for Monday, May 6, at 6 p.m.

at the Birchwood Manor in Whippany. On top of being a

premier fundraising event in Morris County, this year the

organization is celebrating its 60th Anniversary.

Expecting to be a larger turnout than previous years

because of the anniversary, the benefit is at a larger venue

this year. Open to the public, more than 250 guests are

expected along with many supporters of the MHAMC.

With the 60th year anniversary, we needed a bigger

venue to accommodate more restaurants, says Louis A.

Schwarcz, president and chief executive officer of the

MHAMC. Food for Thought is a wonderful, fun night with

splendid food and wonderful people, and provides support

for people during challenging economic times.

This year, more than 20 restaurants from different genres

and five dessert/wine places will be serving their fine cui-

sine and drink.

Its a benefit for restaurants, says Schwarcz, because it

allows customers to try different genres of food.

Guests will sample food from each of the participating

restaurant vendors which includes, Blackthorn Restaurantand Pub, Tiffanys Restaurant, Patsys Trattoria, Coney

Island Catering, LaCucina, Thirsty Turtle and more!

Beverages to be provided by Best Cellars of A&P.

Many of the areas finest restaurants will offer a taste

of their delicious cuisine. At the same time, all funds raised

at Food for Thought go to support the work of an important

charity.

The MHAMC is a 501(c) 3 non-profit organization pro-

viding support and services along with education and self-

help resources for those with mental illness in Morris

County.

We are advocates for people who dont have a voice in

the system, says Schwarcz. We are their voice.

In 2012. The MHAMC served 3,722 Morris County res-

idents with mental health issues, whether it was education,

support and advocacy, he says.

Food for Thought activities include a silent auction and

tricky tray raffle featuring restaurant gift certificates, spa

packages, and shopping spree opportunities. Food for

Thought tickets can be purchased by visiting the events sec-

tion of the MHAMC website at www.mhamorris.org.

Tickets are $75 per person.

Several houses of worship will also be recognized at the

Food For Thought fundraiser for their continued support

whether it has been sponsoring the homeless, community

dinners, educational assistance, financial support, and pro-

viding services such as haircuts to the homeless.

For information on sponsoring the event or donating anauction item, contact the MHAMC Development office at

973-334-3496 x102 or e-mail [email protected].

A 60th year Anniversary Celebration is also planned for

June 10 at the Famished Frog in Morristown. NJ

Congressman Rodney Frelinghuysen plans to attend along

with some other state legislators. Frelinghuysens father,

Peter, was a long time contributor to the agency and his

legacy will be honored.

Founded in 1953, the MHAMC works to promote men-

tal health awareness and improve the care and treatment of

people in recovery from mental illnesses through programs

of education, direct service, and advocacy. Current services

include information and referral, homeless outreach, sup-

portive housing, self-help, and disaster response.

The MHAMC is a local chapter of the New Jersey

Division of Mental Health America, formerly the National

Mental Health Association. The Mental Health Association

empowers people with mental illnesses to live quality lives

in their communities; empowers family members to

become partners with mental health consumers and profes-

sionals in the treatment and recovery process; links people

who have mental health treatment needs to available servic-

es and resources; models effective high-quality programs

and services which are responsive to consumer needs and

preferences; and works to increase public awareness of

mental health and mental illness, promoting mental well-

ness for everyone.

sioned the New York architect, Clarence Curter, to design

the 20 room estate.

The property was an Operational Dairy Farm supportinga herd of 50 Holstein cows.

In 1918, The Celtics original basketball team was

formed at the Farm.

On July 1920, the property was donated to the Hudson

Guild, a charitable organization, which ran the property as

a camp.

On July 10, 1921, the creation of the Appalachian Trail

was conceived during a meeting in the estate house.

The Hudson Farm Club operates the Hudson FarmFoundation which makes annual disbursements to local

charities in the community.

By Cheryl Conway

Morris County Freeholder

Director Tom

Mastrangelo of

Montville plans to continue his

agenda to improve the quality oflife in Morris County if reelected

to the freeholder board.

Finishing up his first three-year

term on the Morris County Board

of Chosen Freeholders, incumbent

Mastrangelo is running on the

Republican ticket in the June 4

primary election. His greatest

achievements as freeholder have

been keeping his promises to

reduce spending and taxes without

cutting services.This is the first year in 15 years

that the Morris County budget

delivers a zero percent tax

increase, with taxpayers seeing a

1.7 percent reduction in property

taxes at the county level.

Mastrangelo has kept his promises

but says more work needs to be

done.

Ive kept my promises, says

Mastrangelo. Ive done exactly

what Ive ran on and what I prom-ised to do. I kept my promises,

promises made and promises

kept.

If reelected to a second term,

Mastrangelo says he plans to

continue my agenda to reduce

taxes, reduce spending andimprove the quality of life in

Morris County; to continue on the

agenda on what I ran on the first

time. But theres more work to

do, he says.

While reducing taxes and

spending, Mastrangelo says we

did not reduce the services to

Morris County. He wants to con-

tinue on that platform.

The Morris County Board of

Chosen Freeholders voted unani-mously in March to adopt a $311

million county spending plan for

2013.

The 2013 county budget main-

tains all services in the county,

while reducing spending by $2.3

million and yielding a $6.2 million

reduction in expensesfrom

$317.3 million in 2012 to $311.1

million, according to reports.

Mastrangelo mentions reduc-

tions in health care costs, pensionsand debt obligations as methods of

cutting the budget. He also volun-

tarily took a 20 percent reduction

in his salary as a freeholder.

Borrowing is down $7.7 mil-

lion from last year, according to

Mastrangelo, and there are 63fewer county employees than

there were in 2012.

Because of conservative fiscal

management here at the county

level and Gov. Christies property

tax reforms, Mastrangelo said,

we were able to realize more than

$4 million in savings and salaries

and pension and health care

costs, as reported in the Morris

County Daily Record.

I earned their vote, saysMastrangelo, a member of the

boards budget subcommittee.

Ive kept my promises. Ive

delivered on what I said but

theres more work to be done. I

want to continue at ways to reduce

taxes and reduce spending.

Mastrangelos goal is to bring

in more economic development

to keep younger people and all

people here while reducing taxing

and spending. He plans to look atinitiatives in bringing in more jobs

and more companies to Morris

County, he says.

The county recently hired a

Chief Technology Officer to look

into ways to reengineer our tech-

nology how the county providesservices to the taxpayers. An idea

is to create a shared service cloud

with the municipalities, he says.

Mastrangelo was also instru-

mental in the boards redesigned

website to make government

more accessible so taxpayers can

see budget resolutions. The

whole website is different than it

was a year ago, he says. There is

more transparency into the web-

site that anyone can access andview, with plans for even greater

transparency.

When Mastrangelo ran in 2010,

he says county taxes were raised

$8 million. Since he has been in

office, that number has gone from

$4 million in 2011, to $3.8 million

in 2012, to a zero percent increase

in 2013. After cutting open space,

the freeholder board was able to

reduce county property taxes by

1.7 percent, he says.A businessman who never ran

for public office, Mastrangelo

thought it was his time to step in.

I was a businessman corporate

entrepreneur and decided to run

for public office, says

Mastrangelo. At that time I felt

that more could be done; what was

going on nationally with our econ-

omy, what was going on with our

state. I felt New Jersey was

becoming an expensive place.

With Gov. Christie helping to con-

County Freeholder Renews Vows To Reduce Spending, Taxes

Tom Mastrangelo

trol government spending, Mastrangelo

says he felt secure that he could make a dif-

ference.

It was time for me to give back by

doing public service and do something bet-ter for the taxpayers in Morris County, he

says. I wanted to give back to Morris

County and help the state of NJ.

Serving on the freeholder board is a posi-

tion Mastrangelo has greatly enjoyed and

hopes to continue.

I enjoy helping the people and accom-

plishing my agenda and keeping my prom-

ises, he says. We have some good social

services in Morris County. We are reducing

taxes and making people feel better. When

people acknowledge you for that and theysay thank you for contributing your time to

help, thats gratifying in itself.

A lifelong NJ resident who has been liv-

ing in Morris County for the past 28 years,

Mastrangelo was elected to serve on the

seven person Board of Chosen Freeholders

in Nov. 2010, and was elected by his peers

to serve as the boards director in 2013.

As the director, which is usually a two-

year position, Mastrangelo maintains liai-

son positions, manages the board and its

communications, serves as the spokesper-son of the board and runs public meetings.

I help create the agenda for the meet-

ings and I help to set the policy, he says.

Currently, Mastrangelo is the liaison to

the Department of Information Services,

which includes the Information Technology

Division and the Morris County Library;

liaison to the Morris County ParkCommission; the Board of School Estimate

for the County College of Morris and the

Morris County School of Technology; Law

and Public Safety; and the Morris County

Improvement Authority. He also serves on

the Capital Review and Budget committees.

Professionally, Mastrangelo has 20 years

of executive sales and leadership manage-

ment experience in the computer technolo-

gy industry. He holds a bachelor's degree

from Seton Hall University, a masters

degree from Fairleigh DickinsonUniversity; and a Juris Doctor of Law from

Seton Hall University School of Law.

Mastrangelo and his wife, Debbie, have

three children, Christopher, Michael and

Brittney. Other involvements include the

Sons of Italy, the Republican Club in

Montville, and the Republican Committee

in Montville.

I love living in Morris County, says

Mastrangelo. Its a great place to work and

live. I will work hard and continue to

decrease taxes and spending and continue tomake this a great place to live, work and

raise a family.

The National Council of Jewish

Women (NCJW), West Morris

Section, will hold a lovely Personal

Giving Thank-You Brunch on Sunday, May

5, at 10 a.m., at a private home in Denville.

Dorothy Cohen of Denville and Anne

Gorman of Rockaway are co-chairs of the

organization's Personal Giving campaign.

Sculptor Peppi Glass of Morris Plains

will give an insightful and informative talk,

called "Sculpture: From Start to Finish,"

tracing the process of sculpting and creating

stone sculpture. She will use photographs to

show stones at the start of her work all the

way through to the end of the process when

the sculpture is finished and mounted. She

will also bring along some tools and finish-ing materials.

"People yearn to touch sculpture," says

Glass, an NCJW, West Morris member.

"This is different from any other artistic cre-

ation. Each stone is different. The stone is

'perfect' and we attempt to shape it to our

vision."

The artist's devotion and commitment to

sculpting began in 1983. She has won

numerous awards for artistic excellence.

Her work has been included in juried shows

throughout the greater metropolitan areaand is included in private collections in the

U.S. and abroad.

The National Council of Jewish Women

(NCJW) is a grassroots organization of vol-

unteers and advocates who turn progressive

ues, NCJW strives for social justice by

Peppi Glass To Give InsightsInto Sculpture

Sculptor Peppi Glass

Meg Wiviott of Morristown, a

award-winning writer of chil-

drens fiction, including "Benno

and the Night of Broken Glass," will be the

special guest speaker at the Awards

Ceremony for the National Council of

Jewish Women (NCJW), West Morris

Section's sixth-grade diversity contest,

called "What Prejudice Means to Me." The

event is open to the public.

The Awards Ceremony will be held at 7

p.m. on Monday, May 13, at Morris Knolls

High School, Knoll Drive, in Rockaway.

In Wiviotts Kristallnacht (Night of

Broken Glass) story, Benno was the neigh-

borhoods favorite cat. During the week, he

napped in a sunny corner of Mitzi Steins

dress shop, and begged scraps from Moshe

the Butcher. He spent Shabbat evenings

with Sophie Adlers family in apartment

3B. But one night the Nazis came to Berlin.

Windows were shattered, books were

burned, and Bennos Jewish friends disap-

peared. Life would never be the same.

As a neighborhood cat observes the

changes in German and Jewish families in

its town during the period leading up to

Kristallnacht, the Night of Broken Glass

that becomes the true beginning of the

Holocaust, the cats-eye view introduces the

Holocaust to children in a gentle way that

can open discussions of this historical era.

On March 8th,

Franklin and

Lincoln Roosovelt

schools held a fundraiser forSt. Baldericks Foundation

which benefits children

with cancer. The girls cut

their hair which was donat-

ed to provide wigs for the

children with cancer

through Beautiful Lengths,

an organization that uses

donated hair to make wigs

for children affected by can-

cer. The requirement was

that donated hair had to be 8inches. Over 60 inches of

hair was collected that day.

Alfonsos Salon decided to

make it a happy fun day for

all. You can view pictures

on the salons facebook

page.

St. Baldricks is home of

the head-shaving fundrais-

ers. Its an easy and fun way

to raise money for a very

serious cause - like a

walkathon, but without the

blisters. St. Baldricks

Foundation, does one thing,

and they do it well: they

fund childhood cancer

research.

Have-a-banana! Hokey Pokey! It's

Magic!....

No! It is Abracadabra and Hocus

Pocus!, scream 30 adoring fans of magi-

cian, Mark Ghia aka The Sorcerer of

Smiles.

"Wonderful!! We had 31 kids age 4-16

and Mark enthralled them for one and a half

hours. Very entertaining for all. Audience

participation was delightful.. I highly rec-

ommend", was the enthusiastic response

given by the party host Fiona C. of Sussex,

NJ

Mark Ghia founded Amazing MagicProductions and has been providing high

quality entertainment for over 25 years.

Mark has not only amazed and delighted

family audiences across the USA but also in

far off places such as China, Tibet, Nepal,

Thailand, and Japan.

Magic is universal...., says Ghia. ...It

transcends all languages and cultures.

Everyone loves a good illusion.

He considers his show a family show.

There's something for everyone in my

show. Whether you are 3 or 103, you will

have a great time.

He entertained children Ages 3 to11with ease and the adults loved the show

too., remarked S.S. of Newton, NJ

tattoo art, and strolling magic.

Strolling close-up magic is an exciting

way to have magic happen right in the audi-

ences' hands. For many, this is the first time

they get to see magic close up, smiles

Ghia.

Mark charmed and engaged an all adultdinner party. He left a strong spell behind

him of solidly entertained people., says

Elaine Y. of Basking Ridge, NJ

misadventures of other characters that are interwoven in

this story of the town of Illyria.

tions filled with music and dancing that will delight the

T

homas Jefferson Elementary School fifth grader TaraO'Neill has won the state 'Stock Market Game' essay

contest. Not only was she the first place state winner,but she also earned a tenth place national finish in theSecurities Industry and Financial Markets Association(SIFMA) Foundation's InvestWrite student essay competi-tion. The competition is sponsored by the SIGMA founda-tion, along with various SIFMA member firms.

O'Neill cruised to the top of the elementary school divi-sion, earning the top prize in the 2012 fall competition forher impressive work. She was just one of 20,000 studentsaround the country to take part in the InvestWrite challenge.

The goal of the project was to have students in grades 4-12 analyze an investment scenario and write an essay withinvestment advice on how to handle the situation. To begin

with, the students looked at real-world economic events andtrends, and also conducted online research for their essays.Additionally, they not only came up with investment rec-ommendations, but they will also use the skills they arelearning to help with their own financial futures. The proj-ect was the final activity of the nation's 600,000 annualstock market game.

O'Neill's winning essay began with a request to pick apublicly traded company and talk about whether or not shefelt the company was a sound investment. She started bychoosing Kraft Foods, Inc., because she thought it was adurable and reliable company. In fact, she labeled it a "great

long-term investment for any bright-minded investor." Toprove her point, she focused on the company's high third-

quarter results, along with its top analyst opinions. In addi-tion, O'Neill mentioned how its new products will help tomake the company profitable in the future.

The company's good decisions don't stop there, accord-ing to O'Neill. Her essay also talked about how Kraft buysand sells companies to enhance its profits, which she high-lights as smart business decisions. As she pointed out in herconclusion, the company "is now the world's second largestfood company" because of its ability to make sound deci-sions.

O'Neill's essay was chosen by thousands of teachers andindustry professionals, who helped to judge the overall con-tent of her work. The criteria included students' analysis ofasset allocation, investment potential of numerous publiclytraded stocks, how well the student understands the stockmarket as a whole, and the way in which they effectively

convey their investment ideas through essay form.Melanie Mortimer, executive director of the SIFMA

Foundation explained the components of the InvestWriteand Stock Market Game program. In part, she states, thestudents need to be vigilant of the daily global market activ-ity, which they monitored on a daily basis. In addition, theywere asked to keep track of business trends, as well as eco-nomic factors that drive investments to help determine thegrowth potential of industries and companies, to name afew.

In her spare time, O'Neill enjoys reading and playingsports. She participates in the town travel basketball pro-

gram and is a member of the soccer team. Along with herfather, she is interested in following the stock market.

Thomas Jefferson Elementary School StudentsWins State 'Stock Market Game' Essay Contest

Headbands are a great accessory for any time of theyear, whether you want to keep hair out of youreyes when you are hiking, or are headed to the gym

for a workout during winter. Four teens from Randolph andRoxbury have caught on to the versatility of the headband,

and began making their own. Their goal throughout thisproject is to not only provide an accessory that anyone canwear, but to also raise money for cancer research.

"Headbands for Cancer" is a local project with a strongunderlying message. The group consists of Metzler, alongwith her friends, Samantha Leinert, 17, Jamie Davis, 16,and Kathlyn Houtz, 19. Together, they are donating valu-able time to make this project a success. In addition, 100percent of the proceeds from the sales will go to theAmerican Cancer Society.

Lexie Metzler of Randolph states that the girls are usingt-shirt to make the headbands. They have begun to collect

old t-shirts from around the community, but do not yet haveenough to cover their entire needs. Metzler stresses that thegirls are "still having issues collecting t-shirts," althoughthey have had a few donations so far. The girls could useplain cotton shirts, although ones with knitter or jerseymaterial will be best for the headbands.

The girls say that they will accept materials of all sortsof colors for their headbands, and will help give them thevariety they desire. More drop-off locations will beannounced once they are organized, but current spotsinclude the St. Therese Roman Catholic Church on MainStreet in Succasunna. The Randolph Community Center onCalais Road will have a box for donations throughout the

month of April.

Each headband will cost $3, and can be ordered in a vari-ety of ways, either through the girls themselves, atwww.etsy.com, or at Estelica Hair Design on HanoverAvenue in Randolph. Sales began during the month ofApril.

The girls are bringing different backgrounds and areas of

interest to the project, making it an interesting combinationof talents and goals. For starters, each girl is a different age,and they are coming from two separate towns.

Metzler was a member of the Randolph High SchoolClass of 2012, and began studying at CCM after graduation.Her focus is on psychology and journalism-communica-tions. One day, Metzler hopes, she will work for a magazinein New York City. She has written a coming-of-age bookand is attempting to have it published.

Houtz also graduated in 2012, although she attendedRoxbury High School. Like Metzler, she chose to continueher education at CCM, and eventually wants to become anelementary school teacher. One of her goals includes open-ing up a theatre for special needs children.

Leinhert also lives in Roxbury, and is in her final year atthe Roxbury High School. Meanwhile, Davis is in her jun-ior year at the Randolph High School.

The idea for the project came when Metzler was at YorkCollege in Pennsylvania. She has always wanted to lead afundraiser, and found a similar idea on a crafting website.Like many Americans, Metzler knows
