On Sun., May 31, Girl Scout Troop 829 hosted a

Walk to Remember in the memory of Kaitlyn

Okolita of Whippany, who passed away at the age

of 12 from brain cancer in Nov. 2014. The walk was heldat Malapardis Park in Cedar Knolls, beginning at 9 a.m.

Participants walked roughly two miles for the event.

Their registration fee of $15 per person will be used as

proceeds to construct a memorial in Kaitlyn’s honor.

Approximately 550 people pre-registered for the walk,raising about $6,000 in total. However, with the money

donated, and including the money from those who regis-

tered at the event, almost $9,000 was raised.

The girls and their troop leaders are currently consider-

ing what kind of memorial to enact. They are planning todo something softball-related, a sport that Kaitlyn was

active in. The girls listed off options such as a bench or aplaque in one of the dugouts, although as of now they are

not sure what they want to do. The walk and memorial are

a part of their Girl Scout Silver Award, an honor given to

those who complete an ambitious community service

project.“We didn’t know what kind of response we’d get – if

we’d make $500 and only have enough to get a bench, or

if we could do something more substantial,” said Troop

Leader Gina Sarrel, who helped organize the event. “We

didn’t know how we’d do until we did it.”

Check-in for the walk began at 8:15 a.m. in Malapardis

Park. Before the walk began, the 600 people attendingarranged themselves into formation for a photograph,

making the shape of a ribbon, a common symbol at cancer

fundraisers. Those attending could also have ribbons

painted on their cheeks or have green or silver stripes-

Kaitlyn’s favorite colors- sprayed in their hair.The walk began after a short speech from the girls of

Troop 829, and participants made their way around the

surrounding side streets, directed by posters with photos

of Kaitlyn on them.

This is not the first event held in honor of Kaitlyn.

After being diagnosed with a rare form of

brain cancer in Nov. 2013, the local com-

munity rushed to support Kaitlyn and her

family. Recently, a new scoreboard atWhippany’s Memorial Junior School soft-ball field was dedicated to her memory.

Kaitlyn attended the school and played for

the local Hanover Recreation teams.

Brenda Talbert, a math and science

teacher at Memorial Junior School hadorganized a campaign to fold one thousand

origami cranes. According to Japanese leg-

end, one who was ill would be cured by the

gods if they folded one thousand cranes.

The cranes were given to the Okolita fam-

ily, and another thousand remained on the

grounds of the school.

School guidance counselor Dana Ashand sixth grade social studies teacher Mike

Anderson ran in the New York City Half

Marathon in March for Kaitlyn, running

with the group- Voices Against Brain

Cancer. The two raised $5,000 dollars withtheir efforts.

Other fundraising efforts were made

across the town, with the proceeds going

towards funding Kaitlyn’s treatment costs.

Memorial Walk for Kaitlyn Okolita...A “Kuts for Kaitlyn Fund-Razor” was

held in March 2014, where about $30,000was raised. Participants had various

lengths of hair cut in a show of sympthathy

for Kaitlyn, who lost her hair due to

aggressive chemotherapy treatments.

Members of the Whippany Park High

School hockey team, of which Kaitlyn’solder brother was a part of, also shaved

their heads.

Nicole’s Dance Company, a local busi-

ness, raised $20,000 for treatment with a

“Dancin’ For Kaitlyn” fundraiser in May2014. Another fundraiser, “Laces for

Love” was run by sixth grade language arts

teacher Christa Mittler. They sold shoe

laces in bright green, which was Kaitlyn’sfavorite color. Mennen Arena hostedanother event that month, a fundraiser

called “Skatin’ With Kaitlyn.” Kaitlyn her-

self attended this event, before exhaustion

forced her to return home.

The final event was held in July, as the

American Legion Riders Post 155 of Whippany hosted a 68-mile benefit run

called “Kruisin’ for Kaitlyn.”

These are just a few of the events held

for Kaitlyn, whose story deeply impacted

the entire community. Even after the sixth

grader passed away, people continued tohold fundraisers to raise money for brain

cancer, and hosted events in her memory.

This community spirit was present at

the walk as well.

“The response that we’ve gotten – we

have many families from the community,including the girls’ classmates and teach-

ers, and some administrators – it’s not just

their friends coming, it’s the whole com-

munity,” said Sarrel.

“We wanted to honor her in a specialway,” said troop member Hayley Cipriano,

of their decision to do this in memory of

Kaitlyn. “The day that she passed away,

we had a meeting where we were supposedto figure out what to do for our SilverAward. So we started thinking of ideas,

and this seemed appropriate.”

Emily Dalgauer, another girl scout

troop member, said “It’s not just about our

Silver Award. It’s about remembering and

honoring Kaitlyn.”Other troop members are Julia Sarrel,

Gianna Catalano, and Erin Polo. The troop

is led by Gina Sarrel and Jennifer

Cipriano.

Janice Molinari and Kiki Enderle met

in high school on the basketball

court, playing for Mount Saint

Dominic Academy. Their bond as team-

mates prevailed and the two remainedlifelong friends. Now, more than two

decades later, they are reuniting at their

alma mater, this time, teaming up to cre-

ate a leadership experience for middle

school aged girls. Take The Lead Eventswill focus on bringing life changing

experiences to every participant.

The five-day summer camp is set for

Aug. 3-7 on the campus of Mount Saint

Dominic Academy in Caldwell. Girls

going into sixth, seventh and eighth

grade are welcome to apply. The Girls’Leadership Experience will focus on fun

activities designed to inspire and empow-

er young women. Activities like the

adventure ropes course will help teachteamwork and communication skills. A

service project will highlight compas-

sionate involvement in the community.

The camp is also inviting hand-selected

high school juniors, to be incorporated in

the program as peer mentors.

“This gives our campers an opportuni-

ty to honestly discuss issues they are fac-ing with kids close to their own age, top-

ics such as bullying, responsible socialmedia use and peer pressure,” says

Molinari. “We’re trying to model this

program to be both fun and informative.Girls learn best when they are immersed

in the experience, take ownership of it

and are enjoying themselves. The camp

will give them an opportunity to make

new friends and participate in exciting,engaging activities. Everything is

designed to tap into that wellspring of

power and leadership at their core.”

The two former teammates are com-bining their diverse skill sets with their

common goal.Molinari, a six time Emmy Award

winning television producer, has men-

tored dozen of high school and college

aged young women, helping them find

their passion, strengthen their voice andbuild confidence both in an out of the

entertainment industry. As a business

Former Teammates Team Up Again To Help Lead Young Womenpartner with her sister for more than 15years, Molinari’s production company

was named one of NJ’s top 25 women

owned businesses. Her profile was fea-

tured in the book “Cool Women, HotJobs.”

Molinari is also a seasoned yogateacher, and her focus for her students is

always on empowerment.

“I’ve studied and practiced the various

ways we tap into our sources of confi-

dence and strength both physically andemotionally,” says Molinari. “I feel that

the one underlying theme in both my

yoga classes and my mentoring has been

finding ways to trust your gut, name your

passions and overcome your fears to beable to achieve what you set out to do.”

With a successful background in edu-

cation and the sports world, Enderle

spent 15 years in the public school sys-tem as both a physical education/health

teacher and an athletic administrator.

“It’s been my mission in life to

encourage kids to dig deep and bringtheir best selves to whatever they do,”

says Enderle, mother of three. “Whetherit’s on the sport’s field, in the classroom

or even interacting with their peers, I

think building a strong sense of self-

esteem is critical for turning out kids who

become much needed leaders in today’ssociety.”

With the teamwork and the passion

these two exhibit, The Girls’ Leadership

Experience is sure to be a transformative

and fun experience. To learn more orregister, visit www.taketheleadevents.com.

Area at Bee Meadow Pool on Fri.,

May 29. Hanover Township Committeeman

and Recreation Director Robert Brueno andBee Meadow Pool Mascot, Sting the Bee,

cut the ribbon making it official.In 2014, Bee Meadow Pool celebrated 50

years of fun in the sun. As a kick-off to its

next 50 years, Bee Meadow Pool now also

boasts a new diving board in addition to the

Recreation Area which includes a basketballcourt, two four square courts and tetherball.

“The Bee Meadow Pool is a great place

to bring your family,” says Brueno. “This

recreation area provides more play areas for

the older kids.”He adds, “Pool members have been ask-

ing for the return of the diving boards which

were removed years ago due to regulations

changes. However, by incorporating some

design changes such as the size of the board

and its location it opposite the slides, we

were able to install a new board.”Pool Manager Eddie Cashen, an employ-

ee at the Bee Meadow Pool for more than a

dozen years, is especially excited about the

new Recreation Area and diving board.

“It creates a new sense of excitementaround the pool,” Cashen says.

O

n June 30, Scott Pepper will retire from his posi-

tion as the superintendent of schools for the K

through eight Hanover Township District, a job

that he has held for 11 years.Pepper has 35 years of experience working in various edu-

cational and administrative fields, beginning as a public

school teacher in Glen Ridge, and then working at public

schools in Randolph. It was in Randolph that he had hisfirst administrative experiences, when he was asked to

help work on a curriculum development project.

“I liked being involved with it,” he said. “I liked being

able to make the decisions that would influence how the

curriculum was taught, and to see the effect those deci-sions had.”

Following this project, he began to move into more

administrative positions in the schools. In 1992, after get-ting a master’s degree in educational administration and

supervision from Montclair State College, he became the

vice principal of Memorial Junior School, his first posi-tion in the Hanover Township district. In 1998, he left the

district to work as the principal of the Salt Brook

Elementary School in New Providence, and in 2002 he

became the assistant superintendent of New Providence

public schools. In 2004, he returned to Hanover Township,beginning his career as the superintendent of the district.

In this position, he was successful in a number of

accomplishments, from financial, educational, and admin-

istrative standpoints, along with upgrading the facilities of

Memorial Junior School in a way that was both effective

and inexpensive.

According to Pepper, one of his greatest accomplish-ments was his handling of the budget crisis of 2010, which

emerged as a result of the sudden economic recession.State aid to schools was dramatically reduced, with

Hanover Township facing cuts of about 1.7 million dol-

lars. Statements from various government figures only

served to complicate matters, even though the decisions

that needed to be made were already difficult enough.When it came time to discuss the budget, a public hear-

ing was held in the library of Memorial Junior School,

attended by nearly 150 parents.

“The meeting went on for three and a half hours, and I

was ‘peppered’ with questions from the parents,” he said.“I was able to answer them and explain everything in away that satisfied everyone. In the end, the budget

passed.” Seventy-five percent of budgets in New Jersey

did not pass that year, making Pepper’s passing of it even

more remarkable. Many of the services and programs that

were cut were also gradually restored.Another accomplishment includes the creation of the

Hanover Township School’s mission statement, a message

that promoted “excellence in our schools.” He also

worked to strengthen the administrative core of the

school, and even began his tenure as superintendent with

a complete overworking of the educational policies, a

massive undertaking that involved thousands of changes

taking place over several years.

Pepper has also updated all of the educational pro-grams in the schools to align with more rigorous state

standards. The Department of Education has classified thedistrict as “high achieving” for 11 years in a row – the

same amount of time that Pepper has been superintendent.

A great deal of work was done on the facilities of the

schools during Pepper’s tenure as well. Many of the class-

rooms in the schools are now air-conditioned, somethingthat creates a better learning environment for students,

especially in the hot days of the summer. Memorial Junior

School’s auditorium was completely renovated, and the

technology in the school district has been upgraded. A

major improvement plan was also organized, allowing formore efficiency in the heating and ventilation systems of the school, all at no cost to taxpayers – the money saved

by the improvement plan was also used to fund the plan.

When Pepper leaves the district, he will be leaving

behind an important legacy. Many of his changes will stay

in place for years to come, and will be used to benefitfuture students of the Hanover Township schools.

“Just to know that I was able to be a part of an amaz-

ing school district, consisting of talented teachers, dedi-

cated support staff and a great administra-tive team has been so rewarding,” he said.

“I am constantly in awe of the work our

teachers and employees do every day. I

have been fortunate to have the support of,and to work with, many outstanding par-ents who served on our Board of

Education. I couldn't have asked for a bet-

ter group of individuals. They haveinspired me to do my best. I will miss

performances and the positive relation-

ships I have enjoyed with district employ-ees, parents, and students. This truly is ‘ACommunity That Inspires Excellence.’”

In addi-tion, hundreds of additional blood drivesneed to be scheduled to meet projected hos-pital demand. Current inventory of severalblood types is running below the desired tar-

get level.“It’s simple: hospital patient demand for

blood often outpaces our best efforts torecruit donors and schedule blood drives,”said NYBC Executive Director of Donor

Recruitment Andrea Cefarelli. “There arealways reasons but we have to overcomethat for the sake of hospital patients whoneed us.”

“This is one of the toughest times of theyear,” Cefarelli added. “We’re asking forour dedicated supporters to roll up theirsleeves to make sure we’re able to provideour hospital partners with whatever theyneed to take care of their patients.”

Blood products have a short shelf life,from five to 42 days, so constant replenish-

ment is necessary. Each and every day thereare patients who depend on the transfusionof red blood cells, platelets and plasma tostay alive. But blood and blood productscan’t be manufactured. They can only comefrom volunteer blood donors who take anhour to attend a blood drive or visit a donorcenter.

For over twenty years, implant dentistry has been a reliable option for patients

with missing teeth. With the ability to support a crown, an implant procedure

has the capacity to bypass drilling the adjacent teeth. Additionally, with the

recent availability of mini implants, implant dentistry has expanded its utiliza-

tion to anchoring both full and partial dentures for a more secure f it. As they

provide an economic alternative, patients have been very receptive of mini

implants, as they make eating and speaking with dentures much easier.

Dr. Helen Chiu has always been involved in implant dentistry, making it an

integrated part of her everyday practice. From replacing a single tooth, insert-

ing crowns or bridges, securing dentures, to creating multiple, full-arch recon-

structions, she performs every step of each process, surgical and restorative.

Your comfort and convenience are always Dr. Chiu’s top priorities. To

The community offers beautiful areas to enjoy the

great outdoors, and people like to spend time outside

when the weather is nice. However being very mind-

ful of ticks and the problems tick bites can cause is valuable.

In 2014, the Hanover Township Health Department hadmore than 200 reports of Lyme disease, one of the most

common tick-borne diseases within the areas of Whippany,

Cedar Knolls, Morris and Harding townships. This indi-

cates that the area is at an increased risk of tick-borne dis-

eases, which can have long term debilitating effects. It is theresponsibility of the health department to educate its resi-

dents of such potential health risks. Here are some tick

facts.

Ticks are arachnids (of the spider family); they have eight

legs and no wings. Ticks carry diseases in their bellies and

transmit the bacteria by sucking the blood of their victims.

There are a variety of ticks, each with different physicalcharacteristics and each causing different illnesses. The

Blacklegged tick carries the Lyme bacterium. Ticks can be

extremely tiny, or easy to spot, depending on the type, age,

and stage of the tick. Ticks are usually “carried” by otheranimals to humans. They regularly hitch rides on birds, mice

and deer especially. Deer do not carry Lyme disease.

The white-footed mouse is the culprit. The tick nymph

feeds on the mouse and becomes infected. The tick then

grows a bit, possibly taking a ride on a bird or a deer into a

garden or path. Then the tick must feed again here it trans-mits the Lyme. Ticks can attach to any part of the human

body, but are often found in hard to see areas such as thegroin, armpits, and scalp. In most cases, the tick must be

attached for 36 to 48 hours or more before the Lyme disease

bacterium can be transmitted.If a tick is found remove it immediately. Report it to a

doctor and record that day on a calendar. The health depart-

ment can help to identify the type of tick and provide litera-

ture about tick-borne diseases. Some doctors will choose to

take a blood titer immediately so that in a few weeks, a sec-ond one can be taken to use as a comparison.

Other practitioners may prefer to wait for other indicators

such as a red, expanding rash called erythema migran (EM),

fatigue, chills, fever, headache, muscle and joint aches, andswollen lymph nodes. The tick-borne disease rashes vary in

appearance and although they can be very clear indicators of disease, sometimes they are translated as something else.

Physicians will often ask the patient to watch for these

symptoms for up to six weeks after a tick bite. Living in this

area, one should always be on the lookout for symptoms

since a tick bite or even a rash that can go undetected. If feeling flu-like-symptoms in the summer, think Lyme dis-

ease and see a physician. Untreated Lyme can do permanent

damage to joints, the heart and nervous system. These can

be debilitating conditions that can be prevented with simple

antibiotics. Being aware of surroundings and risks is the firststep to prevention. While it is a good idea to take preventivemeasures against ticks year-round, being extra vigilant in

warmer months (April-September) when ticks are most

active is important. Suggested methods of prevention are the

use of repellents on exposed skin and clothing for protection

Health Department Helps to Prevent Tick-Borne Diseasesthat lasts up to several hours.

When walking outside wear long pants and a light col-

ored long sleeve shirt allowing for a tick to be seen easily.

Tuck pants into socks. Try to avoid walking in tall grassy

areas and stay on trails, walking in the middle of trail.

After the outing, remove all clothes and visually inspectfor any ticks or red areas. Find and remove ticks from the

body, bathe as soon as possible after coming indoors to

wash off and more easily find ticks that are crawling on

the body.

Conduct a full-body tick check using a hand-held or full-length mirror to view all parts of the body upon return from

tick-infested areas. Parents should check their children for

ticks under the arms, in and around the ears, inside the bellybutton, behind the knees, between the legs, around the waist,

and especially in their hair. Examine gear and pets. Ticks can

ride into the home on clothing and pets, then attach to a per-

son later, so carefully examine pets, coats, and day packs.

Tumble clothes in a dryer on high heat for an hour to killremaining ticks.

The Township of Hanover Health Department offers pic-

torial information on how to identify ticks. Tick removal

spoons are also for sale. This removal tool makes the very

tedious removal process quick and easy and keeps the tickintact so it can be identified. They are $5 each. For more

information, visit local health department.

T

he Arc Morris is a great provider of

services for individuals with

Intellectual and/or DevelopmentalDisabilities (I/DD), helping them to

become as self-sufficient as possible and to

become included in their communities as

much as possible. For more than 60 years

Arc Morris has done this great deed.Last year, the organization celebrated

60 years of service, and earlier this month,

Executive Director, Bill Testa, offered

some insight on its service.

"For over 60 years, The Arc/Morris has

envisioned a world in which people withIntellectual and related Developmental

Disabilities and their families are valued

and have the opportunity to achieve their

highest level of self-sufficiency, independ-

ence, and inclusion possible," said Testa.Arc Morris representatives note that

they thank "our many supporters for their

continued participation." Those who have

donated and supported Arc Morris have

helped them achieve the status of being an

organization that is truly productive and

kind toward the individuals it serves.

“Our progress as an organization andthe gains we have made for people with

intellectual and other developmental dis-

abilities have occurred hand in hand," asstated in the website. “And that progress

has largely been achieved because of thegrass roots nature of our movement."

Representatives ask that local commu-

nity members support the ARC, get

involved, donate, or become an advocate.

It is noted on their website,

arcmorris.org that local residents can getinvolved by checking out the How To Help

section.

As an example, it is suggested that, "For

family members, committed to helping

advocate for people with I/DD, consider joining The Arc of New Jersey’s Family

Advocacy Program."

Also, "Educating policy makers and

elected officials concerning the mission of

The Arc is essential at this time. You can

help by taking action."Volunteering is, of course, another way

to help The Arc/Morris.

Arc/Morris Still Doing Great Deeds After 60 Years

"Volunteer opportunities are always

available at The Arc/Morris.

Whether you want to share your talents

with our Recreation Program, get your fel-low employees at work to help out with a

group project, or assist us with our

fundraising events" the Arc could use your

help in order to continue the excellent

service they are providing.

Community volunteerism will con-

tribute to the continued success of the

Arc/Morris.

"But, the greatest benefit may be theknowledge that you are doing your part so

The Arc can continue to help make a dif-

ference in the lives of people with intellec-

tual and developmental disabilities and

ore than 4,000 walkers and run-

ners will meet at Verona Park onSat., June 13, to support children

with cancer and blood disorders for the2015 Valerie Fund Walk & JAG Physical

Therapy 5K Run.

The run will mark the tenth time sup-

porters have come together in the park torecognize children with cancer and blood

disorders. To register for the certified 5K

race and the Walk, go to www.theva-

leriefund.org/walk or call The Valerie

Fund offices at 973-761-0422.Over the past decade, this premier

fundraiser has grown steadily over time in

attendance, number of donations and spon-sorship participation. Last year’s walk was

an amazing success and raised more than

one million dollars. More than 75 spon-sors and the grass roots efforts of hundreds

of teams made it happen.

The day is a celebration of the hope and

courage of Valerie Fund patients and their

families.Complimentary food and beverages

will be provided by local sponsors and

entertainment will include carnival activi-

ties, live music, and face painting.

The event is promoted by WCBS-TV 2

HD, WCBS 880, Outfront Media and NJAdvanced Media and The Star-Ledger

who donate on air public serviceannouncements, radio spots, billboards

and full page ads.

After their nine year old daughter

Valerie succumbed to cancer, Sue and Ed

Goldstein were determined that no familyshould have to travel great distances to

receive state-of-the-art medical care.

Along with a group of close friends, they

began fundraising efforts from their living

room, tireless work that would lead to the1977 opening of NJ’s first pediatric oncol-ogy facility at Summit Overlook’s

Hospital.

Today, there are seven, not-for-profit

Valerie Fund Centers located in NJ, New

York and Philadelphia staffed with socialworkers, counselors, psychologists and

child life specialists.
