rative venture.The project is a five-plex containing two three-bed-

home will have a one-car garage, 1-3/4 bathrooms and

gas-fired heating and hot water. The houses will be acces-

sible, handicapped adaptable and Energy Star certified forenergy efficiency. Green or reusable building materials

will be used whenever feasible.

CEO for Morris Habitat for Humanity Blair Schleicher

Bravo welcomed all those attending to the site of the

future homes of the Allen, Berry, Gamez, Rondon and

Rosenberger Families. Roberta L. Strater, executive

director of the Morris County Affordable Housing

Corporation, spoke about the collaborative efforts thathave benefitted both non-profit organizations as well as

the many families that now have safe and affordable

homes right here in Morris County.

Assemblyman Anthony M. Bucco attended and point-

ed out that, “this is a wonderful project that ensures hous-ing for five families, but it is also a wonderful partnership.

When dollars are short at the state level and local level,

these partnerships are key. Thank you to the volunteers

who give their time. This is truly the American Dream for

H abitat For Humanity...continued from front page

Losing a loved one is the most diffi-cult and intimate experience people

can have. Although universal, each

loss is unique and those experiencing it

feel alone in their grief.It is as though life has been turned

upside down. Everything that was familiar

begins to feel unfamiliar. While grieving,

getting out of bed in the morning, prepar-

ing meals, staying in touch with family and

friends, and trying to maintain energy canbe overwhelming.

Bereavement Groups Offered For Those Suffering With GriefAlthough grief is a natural response to

loss and sadness, it is helpful to find aplace where emotional support and reas-

surance can be found. Individual and

group support is available to help throughthe dark days and the changes that will

happen.

For those who have lost a partner or

spouse and would like comfort, warmth,and support, or a daughter who has lost a

mother and are looking for support, call

arbuds enable music lovers to enjoy

their favorite tunes uninterrupted

and without distracting others

around them. People often use earbuds

while commuting to work, at the gym and

even at home. But according to hearing aidmanufacturer Belltone, noise-induced

hearing loss can occur by using earbuds at

a high volume for extended periods of

time. Earbuds can put audio signals close

to the inner ear, which is the equivalent of

boosting it by nine decibels. Even moder-

ately high volume can cause hearing loss.

It’s important to keep the volume low and

to take frequent breaks when using ear-buds. Keep earbud volume below 60 per-

cent and wear them for no more than 60

minutes per day.

It is well known that many migraine

sufferers are hypersensitive to visual

stimuli that can cause or prolong their

headaches. Research shows that in-

creased activity in the visual cortex of the

brain may cause neurons to misfire when

susceptible individuals are exposed to

various light conditions and patterns.

With this in mind, it has been theorized

that wearing glasses with tinted lenses

may help reduce the frequency and/or

severity of migraines by blocking certain

wavelengths from entering the eye. This,

in turn, leads to a normalization of brain

activity, which has even been docu-

mented with MRI studies. In fact, a study

funded by the National Institutes of

Health found that migraine sufferers who

wore rose colored tinted lenses reported

a decrease in headache frequency over a

four month period. As research contin-

ues, migraine sufferers should consult

with their neurologists on a regular basis

and may want to explore tinted lenses as

part of their treatment options for relief

of headache pain.

At J.C. Reiss Optician, our personal-

ized approach to eye care ensures that

you get the best possible care, advice,

and options for all your visual needs. We

invite you to come in and see why so

many families have trusted us for gener-

ations. Located at 25 South Street in

downtown Morristown, our hours are

t is smart to think about safety whenselecting design elements for yourhome. Most people don’t think about

safety as part of their interior design deci-sion making, but it is an important part of the process. It is not difficult to plan yourhome around safety; You simply need tokeep safety top of mind when making yourchoices.

Children are innately curious about theworld around them. So, even basic house-hold items like window treatments can turninto potential hazards for them. AtSpeedwell Design Center, all of ourWindow Treatment products are designed

with safety in mind. We exclusively carryHunter Douglas Window Treatments,which offer a wide array of options with notonly safety, but convenience and beauty inmind. Some of the Hunter Douglas choices[with safety in mind] are cordless andmotorized operating systems, retractable liftcords, cord tensioners and wand controls.

The window coverings industry useswarning tags, warning labels and othermethods to communicate the potential haz-

ards of corded window coverings. Togetherwith the Window Covering Safety Council,Hunter Douglas encourages you to install

only cordless window coverings in roomswhere young children play and sleep.

Of course, safety is about more than justchildren. Depending on your stage in life –or the stage of your loved ones – you mightwant to think about safety features for olderpeople too!

Design and safety are not mutuallyexclusive goals. Think ahead when youselect beautiful design elements for yourhome; and you can be assured that yourhome is a safer environment for children,

older adults – and even pets! At SpeedwellDesign Center you have the most variety of colors and materials to select from thatcomplement your room needs.

Window Treatments With Style And Safety In Mind

By Jason Cohen

Morristown became the firstmunicipality to implement full

body police cameras on May 18.

They cost $40,000.Although there have been several

recent police involved shootings, includ-ing the indictments of six Baltimore police

officers for the murder of Freddie Gray in

April, Morristown Mayor Timothy

Dougherty said the town has been looking

into full body cameras since 2012.After participating in the Urban

Mayors Roundtable in Sept. 2014, organ-

ized by Mayor Ras Baraka of Newark,

Mayor Steven Fulop of Jersey City and

Mayor Jose Torres of Paterson, Doughertysaid the cameras could address many of the safety concerns that were discussed by

the panel. Dougherty said those three

mayors are also pooling together to imple-

ment body cameras in their towns as well.

“This is the right time to deploy thisimportant initiative,” Dougherty said. “In

addition to supporting the safety of resi-

dents, the department and administration

are looking for this effort to help improve

relations with the community; reduce the

number of instances where force is

required; lower the number of citizen

complaints and provide a more factual

account of interactions between citizensand police officers.”

The department purchased 40 L3 Body

Vision body-worn cameras, one for each

front line uniformed police officer. The

cameras offer integration with the existingvideo recording system currently used in

marked patrol cars.

“Of course with the climate as it is, we

hope this will reduce the number of inci-

dents where force is required and provide

a more factual account of interactions

between citizens and police officers,” themayor said. “Although Morristown has

seen a significant reduction in the crime

rate over the last decade of approximately

50 percent, we must constantly implementnew preventive measures to maintain the

public safety of our town.”

Morristown Police Chief Peter

Demnitz said the department has received

inquiries from several other towns aboutthe cameras.

Morristown Police Implement Body Cameras“The bureau of police has been active-

ly watching the developments of thisemerging technology for a few years

based on the findings of a study released

by Rialto (CA) Police Department,”

Demnitz said. “The findings from this

early study showed that this technologywas worth investigating thoroughly as an

option for the Morristown Police

Department.”Rahway announced on May 29 its offi-

cers will wear full body cameras by the

end of the year. The Bergen County

Sherriff’s Office and Howell, Middletown

and Wall Township will try out the cam-eras for a three-month pilot program.

Redevelopment at Market and Bank

Streets will be the first to dedicate

one percent of redevelopment budg-

ets to public art. Economic development and

public art will go hand-in-hand in

Morristown, thanks to a new One Percentfor Art program established by Morristown

in partnership with Morris Arts.

Under the initiative introduced by

Morristown Mayor Timothy P. Dougherty,

one percent of capital costs up to $100,000

for new redevelopment projects will be des-ignated for installation and maintenance of

exterior Public Art on, or adjacent to, the

property being developed. This is part of alarger effort by the mayor’s office to main-

tain Morristown’s thriving economic devel-

opment area while maintaining the rich cul-

Morristown Mayor Establishes Groundbreaking Art Requirementsture of the town.

“Morristown is not just about develop-

ment,” Dougherty has said on several occa-

sions. “It is a top priority for us to improve

Morristown’s existing environment and

infrastructure in order to elevate the overallquality of life for all of its citizens. This One

Percent for Art program adds to that mission

and our overall vision to become the most

welcoming, beautiful, healthy, resilient, and

sustainable place to live, work, and play inNew Jersey.”

Under the new program, a $1 million

project would generate $10,000 in artwork.

The first project to be included is a mixed-

use development at Market and Bank streets

to be built by Hampshire Companies.

Philadelphia-based Fox Rothschild lawfirm, which is relocating its Morristown

offices, has already signed a lease for the

property. The deal was recently approved at

the Morristown Redevelopment CouncilMeeting.

“Morristown has been a leader in NJ by

successfully creating a vibrant downtown

and now will be recognized as a model for

its commitment to cultivating a climate rich

in arts and culture,” said Kadie Dempsey,

Morris Arts’ director of Arts in

Community/Creative Placemaking.

“Morristown joins some of the great

American towns and cities that understand

on a deep level how arts and culture increaselivability, and economic development which

in turn creates safe and interesting commu-

nities.”

Similar One Percent for Art programs

have been implemented on the state level,but Morristown will be among the first

municipalities in NJ to institute the princi-

ple. Town officials believe Morristown’s

plan will serve as a model for other munici-

palities.

The town of Morristown, and its arts and

business communities have partneredthrough other initiatives such as the process

for Morristown’s recently adopted master

plan; Meet Me in Morristown, an arts festi-

val that draws thousands to downtownMorristown on the last Thurs. of the month

May through Aug.; and through Art Pride

New Jersey’s Art Matters campaign, a docu-

mentary on the town’s vibrant arts and

restaurant scene.

New Jersey Blood Services, a division of

New York Blood Center (NYBC) is askingfor help to maintain an adequate supply of

all blood types, but especially O-negative-

the “universal” blood which can be trans-fused into anyone in an emergency. In addi-

tion, hundreds of additional blood drives

need to be scheduled to meet projected hos-

pital demand. Current inventory of several

blood types is running below the desiredtarget 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 are

always reasons but we have to overcomethat for the sake of hospital patients who

need us.”“This is one of the toughest times of the

year,” Cefarelli added. “We’re asking for

our dedicated supporters to roll up their

sleeves to make sure we’re able to provide

our 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

there are patients who depend on the trans-fusion of red blood cells, platelets and plas-ma to stay alive. But blood and blood prod-

ucts can’t be manufactured. They can only

come from volunteer blood donors who

take an hour to attend a blood drive or visit

a donor center.To donate blood or for information on

how to organize a blood drive, call 1-800-

933-2566. Visit: www.nybloodcenter.org.

t’s only in downtown Chester, but with just one step

inside Fresco Mexican Restaurant guests will be swept

away into a world that is easy to describe as charming,inviting, fresh and bright.

From the warm welcome by owners as customers walk

through the door, to the bright, bold décor with its colorful

paintings on the walls, bright blue tables and chairs – along

with the relaxing music and the tasty, fresh cuisine, Fresco

Mexican offers a wonderful atmosphere for dining day or

night. But the experience does not end there as right next

door, customers can shop for the most fabulous collection

of handcrafted art at their Boutique Random Acts of Fresco.

Voted top three in the 2015 Readers Choice Awards for

Best Restaurants and Food by “Morris Essex Health and

Life” magazine, Fresco Mexican restaurant on Main Streetin Chester offers a distinctive menu with a variety of

favorites from Mexico.

Opened in Chester since 2010, the first restaurant-

Fresco- had been located in Flanders since 2006. Owners

Marco Rojas and Carlos Cervantes joined their years of

passion to establish one of the finest Mexican area restau-

rants.

Rojas, from Guadalajara Mexico, developed his region-

al style of Mexican cooking in his mother’s kitchen. It was

there where he learned how to use the fresh produce,

cheese, and meats from the local merchants.

Relocated to New Jersey in the late eighties, Rojas

expanded his skills of international cuisine working asexecutive chef at The Black Horse Pub in Mendham and

The Short Hills Club in Short Hills.

“I named our restaurant Fresco (fresh) because there

really is no other way,” Rojas says on his website.

Cervantes, from Key West, started his career in hotels at

the famed Pier House Beach Club and Resort. After mov-

ing to NJ in 1988, Carlos managed various restaurants

throughout the northern NJ area; including 15 years at The

Madison Hotel in Morristown as a sales and catering man-

ager.

The two joined forces in 2006 with Fresco in Flanders,

moved to Chester four years later, and then one year later,in 2011, opened up a unique gift shop right next door-

Random Acts of Fresco - featuring hand-crafted artisan

imports from countries such as Mexico, Peru, Guatemala,

Haiti, India and Ecuador.

Unlike various countries represented at the boutique, the

restaurant features all Mexican specialties. For drink, cus-

tomers can bring their own alcohol, and add to the restau-

rant’s fresh made non-alcoholic margarita mix. Mexican

sodas are available, but the Hibiscus Iced Tea made from

the dry flower is most refreshing. Guests can buy a bag full

of the flowered leaves at the restaurant and at Random Acts

of Fresco to make their own at home.

The best, homemade tortilla chips with salsas such as

mild chipotle and tomatillo salsa with cilantro comes next.

Chilled Gazpacho, a cold tomato soup with cucumbers and

chopped vegetable garnish of peppers and onions is popu-

lar to start.

If dining with another, the Bocadillo Platter appetizer is

a great one to share as it includes three specialties- ChickenEmpanadas, Beef Taquitos, and Guacamole that is chunky

style and as fresh as it gets.

The Sangrita Chicken Salad comes marinated in home-

made orange-tomato dressing, and includes crisp greens,grapes, avocado, fried plantains, spiced pecans and freshorange.

For an entrée, the Shrimp Al Pastor Molcajete is a house

specialty served hot in a bubbling Aztec Stone Dish, which

can also be purchased at the boutique next door. Enjoy

fresh, full of flavor shrimp combined with chorizo, and

fresh pineapple with poblano peppers, and onions in a spicyancho chili sauce; and accompanied with Mexican rice,

refried beans, and homemade tortillas. Preparations of this

dish change weekly.

Some other entrees on the menu include burritos, pani-

nis, tacos, and wraps all popular for lunch; and a variety of dishes like enchiladas, chimichangas, chile relleno, nachos

and so many dishes varying chicken, pork, steak, shrimp

and vegetarian.

On the kid’s menu, young guests can enjoy favorites like

salchipulpo, quesadillas, nachos and more.

Whether an appetizer, entrée, dessert or a drink, presen-tation is eye appealing.

The Pastel de Tres Leches which is a moist vanilla cake

soaked in three types of milk and brandy, with a layer of

white icing, swirled chocolate sauce on the plate and two

sliced strawberries. Sharing is not recommended, as it is

that good and definitely worth the calories.Fresco Mexican also collaborates with The Sweet Spot

Bake Shoppe down the street in Chester, offering their

Chocolate Coffee Brownie Pops and Lime Margarita bars.

Cervantes is working on adding Margarita Cheesecake tohis dessert menu.

Once the owners were settled in their new restaurant,they started to research the idea for a boutique next door,

says Cervantes. Just one year later, Random Acts of Fresco

opened its doors.

Random Fresco started with Mexican art, so he and his

partners visited Mexico and came back with fabulous finds,all purchased from wonderful artists throughout the region.

Random has since expanded to other countries and filled up

the boutique with Ecuadorian jewelry; textiles and embroi-

dered pillows from Guatemala; scarves from India; Haitian

metal art made from discarded 55 gallon steel oil drumsrecycled into wall décor like a giant sunflower; Impressive

pottery; and upscale jewelry with gold and pearls featuring

artists from New York and Boston.

Customers stand in awe at the selection and variety, such

as heart sconces made from iron, Day of The Dead Art like

the painted ceramic skulls and skull wine stoppers, a fanfavorite, Mexican mirrors with tin roses made out of recy-

cled aluminum, leather and fabric handbags, woven belts

from India, a pig sculpture with four pigs standing on top of

the other, iridescent glasses made from blow fused glass inMexico, authentic Mexican saddle purses, printed scarves,

decorative plates, candles, table runners, picture frames,statues, vases, colorful necklaces, earrings, bracelets, and so

much more.

Customers will also appreciate the later hours and out-side dining in the front patio open as the weather permits

from spring to the fall.

“Eat, Eat, Eat… Shop, Shop, Shop,” Cervantes stresses.

Hours are Sun. – Thurs., 10:30 a.m. – 9 p.m.; Fri. and

Sat., 10:30 a.m. – 10 p.m. For more information or to view

Raritan Headwaters Association

(RHA) is on a mission to protectclean water in the north and south

branch region of the Raritan River. For more

than 55 years, its goal has been to protect the

water families rely on every day. One of thegreatest threats to water is contaminationfrom storm water runoff and flooding.

Individual property owners can help allevi-

ate these problems.

Even owners of small pieces of property

can help prevent flooding through the use of a rain garden. What is a rain garden? It is a

low-lying vegetated depression, typically

three to six inches deep, with absorbent soils

that temporarily collect stormwater runoff

from impervious surfaces and allow the

runoff to slowly percolate into the soil.Large or small, rain gardens should be

planted with native plants. As a general rule,

any plant described as Japanese, Oriental,

English, etc. is obviously not native to North

America and should be avoided.Property owners can also help decrease

flooding and pollution through the size and

care of their lawns. Rather than striving for

a large carpet of green through the use of

pesticides and herbicides, consider reducing

the size of your lawn by 10 percent or more

and allow landscape to include more natives.

With a few simple steps, lawns will be

healthier and better able to absorb rainwater

when it falls.

The best flood protection for a stream,however, is to be surrounded with a good

buffer area of woods, shrubs, wetlands, and

grasses to intercept contaminated runoff

before it reaches the water. The less“groomed” this buffer area is, the more it

can perform its normal functions. If fortu-

nate enough to have a stream or pond on

your property, don’t mow within three feet

of the edge and allow the vegetation to grow

to a height of about three feet. Vegetationallowed to grow along the banks of streams

and ponds prevents erosion and the relatedsilting in and flooding during heavy rain

events. Steep-banked streams require the

hearty protection of shrubs and trees thatprovide shade, erosion control, temperature

regulation, and food sources for aquatic

wildlife.

project like those described here, visitwww.raritanheadwaters.org.

All throughout northern New Jersey, an organiza-

tion is helping adults with intellectual and/ordevelopmental disabilities lead more meaning-ful lives as they become integrated into the community

and workforce more and more.

The Rose House, in Morris Plains, is a "non-profit

organization, providing person-centered programs for

developmentally disabled adults, helping them to pursuetheir goals and dreams, and become valued members of

their communities," their website reads.

Earlier this month, Tom Mitchell, of the Rose House

spoke in a phone interview about upcoming programs

and the help they have given individuals with intellectu-

al and/or developmental disabilities.The Rose House serves adults with Intellectual and

Developmental Disabilities (IDD) such as Down

Syndrome, Fragile X Syndrome and Autism Spectrum

Disorders. Its contact information is

[email protected]; and its website isTheRoseHouse.org.

Mitchell said The Rose House has programs to help

out families with an IDD individuals, and the men and

women themselves, visiting their homes for possibly a

few hours each day or each week, depending on thelevel of care. There are different levels of vocational

training and "self-directed" supports as well, and IDD

individuals also visit the community for activities.

In Parsippany, at the Parsippany PAL, there is the

Rose House Cafe, a community center-type facility in

which IDD men and women serve tasty muffins, soups,salads, chips and hot dogs to the members and occasion-

al members of the community. This is one example of

how IDD men and women have been trained and inte-

grated into the workforce, each gaining a personal uplift

and creating a more meaningful life for themselves.The Rose House also has four group homes, and 10

apartments in northern NJ, offering residential possibil-

ities for men and women. There are two group homes inBudd Lake, one in Morris Plains, and 10 apartments in

Hanover. They are in the process of purchasing a house

in Parsippany as well.Training and education in independent living skills

can allow individuals to enter into these residential liv-

ing spaces. They gain skills in cooking, cleaning, com-

munity shopping, and of course, job skills such as work-

ing a cash register, for instance."The more integrated the better," said Mitchell,

adding that the Rose House has served more than 100individuals during its 15 years.

For these programs, families receive partial funding

from the state, and parents provide funding too. The

Rose House accepts men and women 21 and older.

As a result, IDD men and women can become inte-

grated by way of community-based Residential LivingSkills that they will obtain from The Rose House;

Competitive Employment Training; Job Sampling for

High School Seniors (graduating seniors can become

involved though not yet 21); and Healthy Choices, a

three-session course on cooking your own healthy, tastymeals, designed specifically for people with develop-

mental disabilities and their caregivers.

Rose House representatives will be meeting at theend of June with County College of Morris (CCM) rep-

resentatives to plan a 5K run/walk at CCM in Randolph

for Oct. 11. Check its website, the RoseHouse.org clos-er to the event to confirm the details.

Individuals qualify for the Rose House services via

referrals from the state Department of Developmental

Disabilities, Easter Seals, and also via referrals from NJ

high schools.

The official start of summer may still be a few

weeks away but, people are already spending

time outdoors enjoying the warm weather andsunshine.

Enjoying time at the beach, by the pool, tending to the

garden or any outdoor activity carries an increased risk of

skin cancer. From the top of the head to the bottom of the

feet, anywhere there are living cells, there is a potential

for skin cancer. To understand cancer, understand cellgrowth 101 and its progression.

Human bodies are made up of hundreds of millions of

living cells. Normal cells grow, divide and die in a very

orderly fashion. During the early years of life, normal

cells divide faster and allow the person to grow. After theperson becomes an adult, most cells divide only to

replace worn out, damaged, dying or dead cells.

Cancer begins when cells in a part of the body start to

grow out of control. There are many kinds of cancer but

they all begin the same way- with this out of controlgrowth of abnormal cells. Cancer cell growth is different

from normal cell growth. Instead of dying, cancer cells

keep on growing and form new cancer cells. They grow

into and invade other tissue which is something that nor-

mal, healthy cells can’t do. Their ability of grow out of

control and invade other tissues are what makes a cancercell different from a normal cell.

According to radiation oncologist Dr. Tushar Kumar,

skin cancers are generally broken down into three cate-gories: basal cells, squamous cells and the most danger-

ous, melanoma. Skin is the largest organ in the body, hasthree layers and has five basic functions. Skin covers the

internal organs and protects them from harm, keeps out

germs, prevents the loss of too much water and other flu-

ids, helps control body temperature, protects the rest of

the body from ultraviolet (UV) rays and helps the body

make vitamin D."Skin cancer is directly related to UV exposure," said

Kumar who is associated with the American Cancer

Society- Northeast Region. "And it's not just the summer

sun that is dangerous - it is important to protect yourself from the sun's harmful rays no matter the season and tohave your skin checked during your regular health check-

ups."

While avoiding sun exposure entirely is impossible, he

advises using a product daily that contains a SPF of 30,

wearing protective clothing- don’t forget a hat and sun-shades for eyes and staying out of direct sunlight mid-

day. Dr. Kumar recommends being outdoors early in the

morning or later in the day when the UV rays are not as

strong. Kumar stresses that “cancer is a growing health

problem that will soon surpass heart disease in our

region.”Risk factors for melanoma skin cancer includes expo-

sure to UV rays, having moles on your body, having

lighter, fair skin and red hair, a family history of

melanoma or having melanoma in the past and suffering

from a weakened immune system.

Sun, Summer, Skin Care- Prevention Is Key Once melanoma has been found and staged, a cancer

care team will recommend treatment options. Early stage

cancers can often be treated well with surgery alone, but

more advanced cancers often need other treatments.Sometimes more than one type of treatment is used. They

may include surgery, chemotherapy, immunotherapy or

radiation therapy.

The American Cancer Society reports that cancer of

the skin is by far the most common of all cancers.Melanoma accounts for less than two percent of skin can-

cer cases but causes a large majority of skin cancer

deaths. Melanoma most often starts on the trunk (chest or

back) in men and on the legs of women, but it can start in

other places, too. Melanoma can almost always be cured

in its early stages. But it is likely to spread to other parts

of the body and organs if it is not caught early.

The American Cancer Society estimates about 73,870

new melanomas will be diagnosed (about 42,670 in menand 31,200 in women) and about 9,940 people are expect-

ed to die of melanoma in 2015. The rates of melanoma

have been rising for the last 30 years due to the time peo-

ple spend outdoors all year round, better health diligence

and more advanced diagnostic tools.The medical field isn’t the only industry concerned

about the issue of skin cancer. Skin care facilities, aes-

theticians and spas are also keenly aware of the growing

number in melanoma cases.

Jennifer O’Connor, owner of Fusion Spa in Denville

offers monthly seminars and newsletters about all things

skin. One of the latest topics provided consumers with the“FDA regulations with regard to sunscreens, their ingre-

dients, what to look for and what to avoid,” says

O’Connor. Fusion also educates the staff and clients

about knowing what ingredients they are putting on their

skin.

O’Connor adds, “Moisturizer and sunscreen areimportant when outdoors in any kind of weather, espe-

cially in the summer. We offer products that provide both-

moisturizer with sunscreen as high as SPF 50- a must

have for everyone.”

No matter what industry- medical or beauty, skin can-cer prevention is key. Remember, the sun’s rays are the

strongest between 10 a.m. - 4 p.m., be careful not to burn,

avoid tanning beds and cover up when outside. Use sun-

screen daily with at least a SPF of 15 and choose some-

thing that protects against both UVA and UVB rays.Apply two tablespoons to your entire body 30 minutesbefore going outdoors and reapply every two hours. Pay

attention to changing freckles and moles and see your

dermatologist annually. Visit www.skincare.org for more

information and preventative tips.

Dr. Edward J. Yaw, president of County College

of Morris (CCM), announced today that he has

informed the CCM Board of Trustees that he

will not seek renewal of his contract when it expires in

August 2016.

Yaw told the college community of his decision thismorning at CCM’s spring Professional Day for faculty

and staff.

“I want to express my deep sense of gratitude for

what we have been able to accomplish here,” said Yaw.

“I am especially proud of our faculty. It is because of

their dedication that our academic programs are so

widely recognized in the state and even around the

nation.”

Yaw was appointed the second president of the col-

lege in 1986, following the retirement of CCM’s first

president, Dr. Sherman H. Masten. Yaw first joined

CCM in 1980 as Dean of Academic Affairs. Prior to

that, he served as Associate Dean of Academic Affairs at

Adelphi University in New York.

Under his leadership, CCM has become one of the

state’s leading community colleges. As a result of his

vision and guidance, the college has one of the highest

combined transfer and graduation rates among commu-

nity colleges in New Jersey. Students and faculty also

are regularly presented with awards and honors for their

accomplishments.In addition, Yaw has played an instrumental role in

shaping higher education in NJ through his work on pro-

fessional and educational councils. During his service as

chair of the NJ Presidents Council – representing all of

the state’s colleges and universities – he led the effort to

enact a statewide transfer agreement to ease the process

for students seeking to pursue their educations beyond

an associate degree. An active community leader, he has

served on the boards of numerous organizations, includ-

ing the Morris County Chamber of Commerce and the

Urban League of Morris County, offering his time andexpertise to improving the lives of others.

Yaw earned his Ed.D. from Columbia University, his

M.S. from Southern Illinois University and his B.A.

from Harpur College, SUNY Binghamton.

Skin Care - Prevention...

by Michele Guttenberger

Today there is renewed curiosity about who was the

best visionary of the 20th Century now that we’ve

entered the 21st Century. Which of these two leg-endary geniuses was it – Thomas Edison or Nikola Teslawho best predicated the world’s power technology for mar-

velous modern day living?

Retelling this legendary story of the battle of these two

rival inventors often presents embellished or misleading

facts that attempts to repackage history in a more compos-ite way for today’s popular appeal. The fact is that Thomas

Edison did not invent the light bulb. He made improve-

ments to the incandescent bulb that its pioneering designer

(Joseph Swan) even admired. Thomas Edison made the

incandescent light bulb practical, economical and efficient

to get people to accept electricity as the source of powerthat lit these bulbs. The electricity that Edison endorsed to

power these bulbs was DC - Direct Current and that is

where he came into conflict with his former snappy

employee Nikola Tesla.

The popular myth on Tesla was that he led the charge onelectrical current power. This is misleading because the use

of AC was used in medical devices long before Tesla was

even born. The earliest big discoveries and experiments in

electricity go to Michael Faraday which dates back to the

1820’s. Nikola Tesla was the big power electricity sort of thinker employed by Westinghouse to further advance AC

Alternating Current power as the way to modernize the

world. Think of miles of utility lines of power and this is the

transmission of Tesla’s AC Current. It is that big network

grid that connects power to every home in the US.

So Edison did not discover the light bulb and NikolaTesla did not discover AC power. Both men made phenom-

enal progress in their area of research and development.

What really separated Edison from Tesla was the appli-

cation of these inventions. Here is where Thomas Edisonhas a stronger connection to modern day living as we know

it today. Edison’s research was done for practical benefit.

His vision was to bring safe electricity to the home that did

not cause a family’s life to be at risk in using his home

inventions. There is more safety in using DC power even

though it can’t go the distance. Edison did not think of transmitting power over long distances. Edison’s mind was

off the big power grid. He believed in local generating sta-tions embedded in neighborhoods that served electricity to

each home. He even proved that a home could have its own

standalone generating station. Inside his own gated estatecommunity at Llewellyn Park, he purchased a standard size

family home in 1905 on Honeysuckle Ave in West Orange.

He made this house into a demo model home of electrifica-

tion. The house had its own electric generating station. It is

here that Thomas Edison tested out the practicality of hisvarious new Edison household appliances, inventions, and

devices for his vision of the modern day family home. In

1912 he issued a newsletter to his employees that stated this

model home was installed with several new “moving pic-

ture machines” in the billiard room of this house. Can it besaid then that Thomas Edison promoted the first home the-

ater concept that is now a trend in the 21st century.

When we flip the light switch to light our home, this is a

Tesla concept of AC power. When we recharge are batterypowered personal electronic devices we are using DC

power. So, we can say that PC users are in the Thomas

Edison state of mind on power.

Summer vacations don’t have to involve trunks and

suitcases, sporting equipment or even stopping the

mail and newspaper delivery. Staycations are becom-

ing a common term where people enjoy their own neighbor-

hoods and communities during down time. Backyard pools

and community pools are great staycation activities and canbe a safe and fun experience for all ages.

According to the Centers for Disease Control and

Prevention, there are three big causes for unintentional

drownings for children 14 and younger: lack of swimming

ability, lack of barriers and lack of supervision.To avoid a tragic summer, reviewing basic water safety

tips is a smart way to start off the pool season. Never leave

little ones unattended near water and children should learn

basic safety such as staying away from pool drains, pipes

and other openings to avoid getting stuck and never swim

alone. It’s never too late to learn to swim- everyone shouldknow how to and lessons are available at local community

pools, YMCAs or private pools.

Neighborhood or backyard pools don’t have life guards

like community pools do. Keep CPR skills for children and

adults updated regularly. Install a four-foot or taller fencearound the pool- some communities have specific require-

ments. It’s a good idea to check with the local building

inspector to see what rules apply to the neighborhood. Use

self-closing and self-latching gates, pool and gate alarms and

use a lockable safety cover. Consider using a surface wave

or underwater alarm. Especially with younger kids, alarm

doors and windows that face the pool area. It’s great to invite

the neighborhood kids over but, don’t let the kid/adult ratio

get out of hand and never leave any kids unsupervised.Visiting the local community pool is a great way to spend

the summer. It’s fun for all ages, a great way to meet other

families and omits the worry and hassle of maintaining a

pool. The Hackettstown Community Pool (HCP) is part of the recreation department established in 1948 and offers

something for everyone. The pool is handicap accessible and

accepts members and non-members. Admission season rates

for residents are: family, $105; individual, $50; senior citi-

zen, $10. Non Residents are welcome to join too. Rates for

non-resident family, $180; individual, $100; senior citizen,$10. Daily, weekday, weekend and holiday passes are avail-

able for residents and non-residents and range in price from

$2 to $10.

The HCP is an outdoor pool that has showers, locker

rooms and a lifeguard always on duty. It offers lap swim-ming, water exercise, open swim (recreational swimming),

private swim lessons and lifeguard training classes. There

are eight lane lines to swim, a fun water slide and several

diving blocks. Adjacent to the pool area are several fields,

baseball fields and practice areas and a track and field area

for organized teams as well as pick- up games or just to havefun.

For more information on the HCP, call 908-852-4095.

Their season starts on June 20 and the pool is open seven

days a week from noon to 8 p.m.

Swimming is great exercise, fun and a wonderful activi-ty for all ages. Reminding kids, friends and family of a few

swimming safety tips will keep the fun in summer. Safe

swimming!

Janice Molinari and Kiki Enderle met

in high school on the basketball court,playing for Mount Saint Dominic

Academy. Their bond as teammates pre-

vailed and the two remained lifelong

friends. Now, more than two decades later,they are reuniting at their alma mater, thistime, teaming up to create a leadership

experience for middle school aged girls.

Take The Lead Events will focus on bring-

ing life changing experiences to every par-

ticipant.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 funactivities designed to inspire and empower

young women. Activities like the adven-

ture ropes course will help teach teamwork

and communication skills. A service proj-

ect will highlight compassionate involve-ment 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 opportunity

to honestly discuss issues they are facing

with kids close to their own age, topics

such as bullying, responsible social media

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 enjoyingthemselves. The camp will give them an

opportunity to make new friends and par-

ticipate in exciting, engaging activities.

Everything is designed to tap into that

wellspring of power and leadership at their

core.”The two former teammates are combin-

ing their diverse skill sets with their com-mon goal.

Molinari, a six time Emmy Award win-

ning television producer, has mentoreddozen of high school and college aged

young women, helping them find their pas-

sion, strengthen their voice and build con-

fidence both in an out of the entertainment

industry. As a business partner with her

Former Teammates Team Up Again To Help Lead Young Womensister for more than 15 years, Molinari’s

production company was named one of

NJ’s top 25 women owned businesses.

Her profile was featured in the book “CoolWomen, Hot Jobs.”

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

always on empowerment.

“I’ve studied and practiced the variousways we tap into our sources of confidence

and strength both physically and emotion-

ally,” 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 andovercome your fears to be able to achieve

what you set out to do.”

With a successful background in educa-

tion and the sports world, Enderle spent 15

years in the public school system as both a

physical education/health teacher and an

athletic administrator.“It’s been my mission in life to encour-

age kids to dig deep and bring their bestselves to whatever they do,” says Enderle,

mother of three. “Whether it’s on the

sport’s field, in the classroom or eveninteracting with their peers, I think build-

ing a strong sense of self-esteem is critical

for turning out kids who become much

needed leaders in today’s society.”

With the teamwork and the passion

these two exhibit, The Girls’ LeadershipExperience is sure to be a transformative

and fun experience. To learn more or reg-
