Story by Jodi Ilsye

Acura of Denville has served NorthJersey for more than twenty years,but on Saturday October 22, the

dealership putall paws on deck for petsafe-

ty. Along with partner Mt. Pleasant AnimalShelter, Acura of Denville hosted amicrochipping clinic to help local pet own-ers protect the furry and fluffy members oftheir families.

Unlike tags or collars, microchips last alifetime. Like a permanent pet ID, they arecurrently the most effective way of reunit-ing missing pets with their owners. That day

over fifty dogs and cats were chipped at aspecial discounted rate, offering pet ownersa peace of mind Vice President StevenLustig understands all too well. I was dev-astatedwhen my dog Belle went missing for

a few hours,he says.(Shewas off on a soloexplorationmission.) I knowwhat a differ-encea chipcan make. Im gladwe can offerthis service to our customers.

Lustigs passion for animals runs in thefamily. The Lustigs are longtime supportersof pet adoption and welfare. In addition tosupporting national organizations as theASPCAand the US Humane Society, Acura

Acura of Denvilles Pet Project of Denville has assisted local Greyhoundadoption services and is a major supporterof Mt. Pleasant Animal Shelter. Jax, theLustig family s Bearded Colli e, a Mt .Pleasant Animal Shelter adoptee, can oftenbe foundon the showroom floorat Acura ofDenville greeting customers. He was a tail-wagging presence at the microchippingevent, welcoming animals from the shelterstill looking fortheir foreverhome and nuz-zling noses with visitors on their way to thewater bowl. Dealership staff was on hand toserve treats to the guests and their keepers.

This isnt the first time Acura of Denvilleand Mt. Pleasant Animal Shelter have col-

laborated for a good cause. In September,the dealership was a platinum sponsor ofMutts Mania at Lurker Park in EastHanover where over 800 guests, staff andvolunteers enjoyed browsing more than 50different vendors and pets got to try thedoggie agility classes, compete in the pettrick contestsand enjoy samples of toys andtreats.After thesuccessof the inaugural PetMicrochipping Clinic, the hope is that itwill become an annual event at the dealer-ship in the future. Jax has given it his fourlicks and a woof approval.

It's the season for pumpkin picking, pumpkin

carving, pumpkin pies, pumpkin seeds and

pumpkinchucking.

Yes, chucking pumpkin contests in whichteams use hand-built motor-less devices to

chuckor sling a pumpkin as faras they could.

Not only did students from the Mt. Olive

High School Robotics Team chuck their

pumpkin with their 18-foot tall pumpkin

chucking design, but they threw their pump-

kin the furthestat lastmonth'spumpkin sling-

ing event, breaking all records and winning

first place for the second year in a row.

Representing the MO Robotics team were

30 students in grades 9 through 12 who

attended the 2nd annual NJ Last Fling

Pumpkin Sling event on Sunday, Oct. 23, in

Harmony. They competed against 20 other

teams.

David Bodmer, robotics engineering

teacher at MOHS in charge of MORT, could-

n't be more proud of his students.

"We did exactly what we hoped to do

which is win," he says. "It was pretty excit-

ing." Bodmer explained that the object of the

MOHS Robotics Team Pumpkin Chucking Champscontest is to throw the pumpkin as far as you

can.

MORT's pumpkin reached 959 feet this

year, beating its own record of 548 feet last

year. Warren Hills Regional High School

received secondplace this year by slingingits

pumpkin 501 feet.

In order to compete, MORT had to use

"basicphysics andmathto getthisthing to go

as far as possible. They don't let you use any

power. It all has to be human power" like

sheer weights. MORT had to bring its own

two to three pound gourd to throw.

"Look for the roundest one possible,"

advises Bodmer, since odd shapes do not go

through the air as smoothly as rounder

objects.

The local team competed in theTrebuchet

Floating Arm with Power Added contest.

Working on its design since August, MORT

began building in September and after three

weeks completed the finished product which

is18 ft. talland12 to16 ft. wide.

T

heseniorsofMt.OliveTownshiphavebeen

featuredthesepast fewweeks ina newpilot

show broadcasted on MOTV-cablevision

channel21andFioschannel32.Called Silver and Gold, viewers can

take a closer look into the programs and

activities offered to the 5,000 seniors who

live in the township. The 30-minute show

was first airedduring the secondweekof Oct.

and was scheduled to run for four weeks,

everyday at 1 p.m., and Monday, Wednesday

and Friday at 8:30 a.m.

The show about the senior program in

town is one of the first steps that have been

taken in expanding broadcasting coverage on

MOTV, in addition to council meetings that

have also been broadcasted on the channelevery two weeks at 8 p.m.

Produced and operated through Mt. Olive

High School, the MOHS television produc-

tion program know as MOTV- Mt. Olive

Television- has centered its program on high

school sporting events and other news within

the high school. MOTV has grown since its

inception in 2002 from an in-house broadcast

New Pilot Show Features Senior Silver and Gold

systeminside the school to 1,500 viewers to a

live broadcast to more than 24,000 viewersthroughout Mt. Olive.

In its ninth year at MOHS, MOTV was

launched to the community on Jan.15, 2010.

MOTV provides public service announce-

ments, an in house-sporting production and

Marauder Madness- a morning news show

aired three times weekly.

Fundsfor area broadcasting, as well as the

production set, have been allocated through a

grant from Television Networks and a part-

nership with MSGVarsity.

While news at the high school is interest-ing to some, others would like a broader

range of programs on the station, which was

donated to the town by cablevision.

Councilman PatWalshhas beenexploringcoverage on even more areas throughout

town such as the Chamber of Commerce to

highlight businesses in town, and the

Historical Society. While the town hasnot put

any money toward MOTV, Walsh says the

concept may be considered as part of the

townships budget for next year.

Right now its donations and volunteers,

says Walsh, active liaison to MOTV. Its a

growing thing as we evolve as a station. We

want more public input. Im very excited

about the Mt. Olive TV station. Its great forthe town. Its great for school spirit.

D

ont let last months sneak peak at

winter with 14 inches of snow deter

any plans for fall maintenance orlandscaping. Snow was melted as of dead-

line so property owners may want to deter-

mine whether any services are needed

before the real storms settle in for winter.

At Beaumont Landscaping & Design in

Flanders, customers receive top quality

services in custom landscaping, weekly

lawn maintenance, hardscaping, excavation

and drainage. In bus iness since 1996,

Beaumont Landscaping is a full landscap-

ing facility that services more than 200

commercial and residential customers in

Morris, Warren and Sussex counties.

In its 15th year of business, the family

owned and operated company also offers

snow removal services for mostly commer-

cial properties.

President/owner Brian Beaumont is an

ICPI Certified Concrete Paver Installer and

NCMA Segmental Retaining Wall Installer.

He is a member of NJ Landscape

Contractors Association and Snow and Ice

Management Association.

Landscaping while in high school as his

summer employment, Beaumont attended

school for landscape design, earning an

associates degree in Landscape

Management from County College of

Morris in Randolph.The part of the business I enjoy most is

watching the project come to life during the

installation/construction to the completion

of that project, says Brain Beaumont.

Design is his specialty.

He is good at designing, says a

spokesperson for Beaumont , in doing

designs for yards such as planting as well

as designing patios. He can foresee a pic-

ture of something even in addition to what

the customer wants. Hes goodat modifying

what they suggested.

Beaumont says, I am willing to work

with the customer's budget, large or small.

During the project, a customer may request

"add ons" of a sitting wall, pillars, fire pit,

water features etc. I am willing to make

suggestions and work with them to person-

alize their plans. "No two jobs are the

same; some are similar but never the same

when Beaumont Landscaping does the job."

Specials in landscaping and hardscaping

are offered monthly through newspaper and

mailer advertisements.

Its policy is To grow only without sac-

rificing quality, service and reliability.

Customers should choose Beaumont

Landscaping for their landscaping needs

because it has the ideas and experience to

build and install any landscape project from

a little landscaping project to large scale

plantings; large and small hardscape patio,

walkways, driveways, and retaining walls.

We can make their project into some-

thing special by working with the cus-

tomer's budget, says Beaumont.

Beaumont Landscaping is willing to stage

a project out from a couple of days or to

years for a long range project.

Beaumont Landscaping is fully insured

and has the required licenses to do the job,

he adds.

Walsh approached the Mt. Olive Senior

Club in 2010 with hisideaof the senior show.

None of us had any idea what we were

doing, says Ray Oser of Budd Lake, presi-

dent of the Mt. Olive Seniors, who is inter-

viewed in the pilot show by show

host/moderator Warren Wormann, Mt. Olive

resident for 51 years. The show got its name

for Silver haired and Golden years,

explains Oser. It covers three ten minute seg-

ments.

The purpose ofSilver and Gold isto show

viewers, mainly seniors, activities, health

issues andother issues to improve their qual-

ity of life, says Oser. It is the who, what,

where, why for their needs.

The pilot show was aired at the Mt. Olive

Senior Center building and municipal build-

ing. High school students filmed and edited

the show, but producing, ideas, scripting,

location shoots and content was all done by

three seniors including Oser; Matt Okeefe,

committee chair; and Sandra Masklee, com-

mittee member.

As we move from one segment to anoth-

er we show seniors in action, says Oser.

Currently 230 members belong to the Mt

Olive Senior group and participate in daily

events and activities such as bowling, minia-ture golf, dances, meals and bustrips. Were

trying to show seniors in action doing things;

because you get up in age doesnt mean you

have to sit still, he says.

Cost for the senior show was $500, fund-

ed throughsponsorsand thesenior clubbudg-

et. Monies will go into a scholarship fund at

the high school in which students will earn

credi ts through their work with MOTV

whether it is editing or filming. The more

credits the more scholarship funding theycan

get, explains Oser.

Oser and his committee have other ideas

for future shows such as information on

taxes,the police chief and town nurse so the

seniors have a face and name andif they have

an issue they know who to approach,

explainsOser. Anotheridea is to interview an

auto mechanic to go over the basics so younow you have a little knowledge and assur-

ance of what youare doing so youknowwhat

you are doing when you have your car serv-

iced so you are not taken, so you are armed.

Maybe a show on computers or technol-

ogy, says Oser, an active member of thesen-

ior group with his wife Maria Aidee since

2005. How many seniors know how to use

an iphone or an ipad? Can seniors get infor-

mation other ways? Yes, but 2/3 of seniors

dont know how to use a computer or where

to get information or how to look for it.Oser, who retired in 2004 after owning his

own computer repair business, says he would

hope to broadcast a new senior show once a

monthbut no exact plansor commitments are

in place.

We hope to bring good quality to channel

21, says Oser.

Andrew Roberts, Performing Arts Center

coordinator and executive producer for

MOTV, as well as Chris Praml, television

production and broadcast teacher at MOHS,

were skeptical about any future programming

of the senior show and were unaware of a

show featuring the Chamber of Commerce as

of press time.

Whether the senior show will continue is

unknown, but Oser says he has enjoyed the

experience so far.

Its been quite an eye opener, says Oser

about his experience in putting together the

senior show. Its been fun. Its been quite an

education. If you are not moving forward,

you are moving backward. It keeps us think-

ing. The body- themore youare thinking, the

more you are alive.

The art of discipline has taken center

stage at Pace teaching students more about

life skills, along with self-defense, accord-

ing to Jim Peterson of Long Valley,

owner/chief instructor of the institute.

It s more li fe ski ll s than anything

else, says Peterson. We specialize inkids life skills, structure and discipline. I

have a lot of structure here. We teach

respect first. Thank-you; yes sir; no sir.

Peterson says, I want them to be ladies

and gentlemen first. I like to create the

nicest, nastiest kids that I can.

Established in 1995, Peterson offers

"It was a lot bigger than last year," says

Bodmer, who was very thankful to the dozen

mentors and Black River Custom Cabinets in

Budd Lake- Owners David Pariseau and

James Gallo- who "have been kind enough toopen their shop to let us build this year's

design since it's so large!"

Besides opening their workshop, Pariseau

and Gallo let MORT use their equipment;

Pariseau also let the group use his pick-up

truck with an attached trailer to transport the

pumpkin slinging machine.

"Without David's efforts of opening the

shop and getting it to and from we

wouldn't be able to do it at all," says

Bodmer. MORT paid for the lumber, with the

final product costing $800, monies that camefrom the MORT budget and sponsors, he

says.

"We needed a big workshop with a big

ceiling," explains Bodmer. "We don't have the

physical space to build something so big at

the high school. This year we wanted to do it

bigger and better."

As winners two years in row, MORT got

to keep their trophy from last year as its prize.

"It's more for all of us to have fun," says

Bodmer. "This is more fun, more of a positive

for us; to go through the engineering process

with zero stress setting," as opposed to the

school year when MORT's competes in vari-

ous competitions.

MORT also recently competed in the

World Punkin Chunkin event in Nassau, DE,

from Nov. 4 to Nov. 6. Competing for the first

time and the only rooky team to enter, MORT

faced 10 other teams throughout the countryin this year's event, which has been running

since 2001.

Although "Our goal is to get 1,000 feet,"

Bodmer had said before the contest, MORT

reached 752 feet, winning third place. "Great

effort for our first time at the Punkin

Chunkin," he says.

The requirement for the DE event was to

throw a pumpkin four pounds or larger. "It's a

heavier pumpkin so with number crunching

and physics, we figured out what we need to

do."The World Punkin Chunkin event will be

broadcasted on the Discovery andScience

Channel on Thanksgiving, Thursday, Nov.

24, at 8 p.m.

It's just a great chance for these students to

get rolling with engineering, design process,

working with teams and working with men-

tors, explains Bodmer.

"It's a living and breathing thing that they

made," he says. "It gives these students hands

on real world experience that they don't get in

the classroom setting. It's an exciting thing.

It's really a cool experience for them. Taking

a task and getting it to work the way you want

it to work. It's a fun way for them to do their

math and science."

Throwing pumpkins is just the beginning

of what is in store for MORT this school year.

The MORT team will receive a design chal-

lenge on Jan. 7; will work for six weeks dur-

ing its design season; then attend competitionevents in March and April.

For the 2012 season, Mt. Olive High

School has been chosen for the first time ever

to host a robotics event by FIRST- "For

Inspiration and Recognition of Science and

Technology."

On March 29 to April 1, MORT will host

42 teams for a FIRST Robotics Competition.

FRC combines the excitement of sport with

the rigors of science and technology. It's as

close to "real-world engineering" as a student

can get.

"FIRST picked us," says Bodmer, along

with four other schools in the region to host

events for the 2012 season. "It's a lot ofwork," says Bodmer,

adding that planning committees have

already been established "to make sure we are

ready for what's coming."

Bodmer concludes, "We are proud of

everything we do here. Our team is ready to

welcome other teams to our school here."

Subaru, one of the most

respected automotive

brands, is growing

strong in Morris and WarrenCounties thanks to the addi-

tion of the Subaru of Mt.

Olive dealership nearly four

years ago. Offering all-

wheel-drive on every model,

leading consumer magazines

constantly recognize Subaru

for its strong safety record

and its commitment to fine

engineering. And while many

cars look similar, Subaru

stands apart because of itstechnology, safety, and resale

reputation.

So what makes a Subaru

truly different?

Symmetrical All-Wheel

Drive. Control the road.

For true control behind

the wheel, a driver needs

balance and an even distri-

bution of power that sup-

plies maximum traction to

every tire, rather than the

slip-then-grip alternative.

Every Subaru comes stan-

dard with Symmetrical All-

Wheel Drive for better sta-

bility, efficiency and a

quicker response to slipperyconditions. To be efficient

and durable, Symmetrical

All-Wheel Drive mounts the

engine in-line with the dri-

vetrain and that, in turn,

helps provide a seamless

transfer of power to all four

wheels. Other AWD sys-

tems need additional, com-

plex drivetrain components

to route the power to the

wheels the more compo-

nents in a car, the greater

likelihood of higher service

costs.

Stability and Control of

All-Wheel-Drive

Front-wheel drive vehi-

cles generally understeer or

push in a turn; rear-wheel

drive vehicles oversteer in a

turn. The Subarus balanced

design of Symmetrical All-

Wheel Drive helps add con-

trol through uniform stabili-

ty power is distributed to

the wheels with the best

traction and helps the driver

hold true to the path.

World-Leading Trans-missions

Smoother performance.

Greater efficiency. Subaru

gives you both with innova-

tive transmission technology

that functions perfectly with

the SUBARU BOXER

engine and Subaru

Symmetrical All-Wheel

Drive. Additionally, trans-

missions are designed to be

lightweight and contribute

to keeping the Subaru agile

and fuel efficient.

Automatic Mode

Continuously Variable

Transmission (CVT)

C VT can reduce the

amount you spend on fuel.

Leave it in the Automatic

mode, and the gearless

transmission infinitely

adjusts to match your accel-

Like the jabs of a boxer,

where the engine got its

name, the SUBARU

BOXER layout allows the

engine to be positioned in-

maximum transfer of power.

Many other engines are

transverse, or turned perpen-

to transfer power, reducing

vehicle efficiency.

ASK ABOUT OUR FLEXIBLE HOURS!

By Cheryl Conway

Sticks and stones may break my bones but names

may never harm me, does not hold true anymore

especially when it comes to cyberbullying.

This was the message relayed by Detective Supervisor

Mark Castellano of the Morris County Prosecutors Officeon Monday night, Oct. 24, during a Parent Awareness

Program at the Mt. Olive High School Performing Arts

Center. Castellano spoke for one hour to about 30 parents in

attendance about Harassment, Intimidation & Bullying

[HIB] and amendments to the law.

Understanding cyberbullying, increasing awareness of

how it affects students, and learning how to respond when

an incident occurs are steps that can stop a bully in action.

Students, teachers, administrators, bus drivers and parents

need to work together to prevent or control situations in

which students do become threatened on school property

whether on the playground, school bus, classroom and morerecently technological devices like cell phones, computers

and ipads.

Nobody is taking into consideration the profound

impact it [cyberbullying] is having on these kids, says

Castellano. These bullies are manipulative. If we dont

know there is a problem we cant fix it.

Cyberbullying is the act of sending harmful or cruel text

messages, emails or images through the internet, telephone

or other technological devices. It is also creating websites

that have stories, cartoons, pictures and jokes that make fun

of others.

An example can be when someone decides to video a

school yard fight from their cell phone and then post it on

u-tube, explains Castellano. It doesnt end with an inci-

dent. It continues with emails and text messages. The cycle

is never broken.

Think about these embarrassing moments and putting

them in a forummakes it much worse, he says.Everyone has phones and computers.

Castellano talks how his two sons every evening

accessing the computer to do homework. Its an integral

part of our society.but with great benefits comes liability.

We cant live without the technology.

The highest incidents of cyberbullying occur in grades K

through fifth. This is when it starts, he says. Most fifth

graders and 75 percent of fourth graders have cell phones

and first graders use computers. It really affects these ele-

mentary kids. If thats how it is when they are young, it only

gets worse.

Castellano explains two types of bullying: Direct- whichis sending a message directly to the victim; and Proxy-

which is getting others involved in the attack, either with or

without the accomplices knowledge.

Think about a 12 or 15 year old getting all these texts,

explains Castellano. Hes thinking Im the tar-

geteverybody doesnt like me. Thatll hurt. Nobody

thinks how the words are going to hurt the victim.

Bullying can come in various forms: a direct attack- such

as a blog like an online personal journal or diary in which

other people can comment on; form spring-when you can

put a picture up and get an anonymous rating; and internet

polling-whos hot, whos not, do you like me?

Such questions are offensive and another way to bully

other people on line, he says. We are going to expose our-

selves to criticism that is unwelcome and unnecessary.

People are going to say mean things because its funny. I tell

them if you have nothing nice to say then say nothing.

Castellano gives an example about reading a card.People reread cards to make them feel good, he

explains. Cards that say I love you or words of encour-

agement. The same goes with inappropriate text or email

messages.

If the good stuff makes us feel good, how bad does the

bad text make us feel, especially when they keep rereading

it.

Sticks and stones may break my bones but names may

never harm me doesnt hold true anymore, says

Castellano. The hurtful wordsthey hang on us like

proverbial tattoos.

Castellano cites several incidents in which students havecommitted suicide from cyberbullying.

Last year, New Jersey stepped in along with other states

in the nation to toughen its laws on bullying.

Following media coverage surrounding multiple student

suicides, the New Jersey Legislature passed the Anti-

Bullying Bill of Rights Act with nearly unanimous support

in both houses on Nov. 22, 2009. Gov. Chris Christie signed

the legislation on Jan. 5, 2010. The law strengthened the

states already existing anti-bullying legislation and went

into full effect in the 2011-12 school year.

Amendments to the HIB law doesnt necessarily change

Lack of FIRM decision onTrick/Treating on Halloween

A

s a Mt. Olive resident, I was deeply disappointed

in our township's lack of leadership regarding

trick/treating on Halloween.After reading an email circulated by the Mayor, I

assumed a decision would be followed and that resi-

dents would be alerted via the Honeywell emergency

system. Unfortunately, what residents of Mt. Olive

received was a mere "suggestion" of keeping our chil-

dren indoors and postponing trick/treating until the

weekend. This led to a series of calls/emails between

friends who were trying to decide what to do (it didn't

say no trick/treating, afterall).

The celebration of Halloween with trick/treating in

communities is a community event - success is depend-

ent on the support of the community. With only a "sug-

gestion" put out to Mt. Olive residents instead of a

FIRM decision, our community was divided.

WHY a firm decision could not be made when

SAFETY was the primary concern is a concern in itself

- as with many towns around us, there were people with

power and many without, yet those towns had no prob-

lem making a definitive decision - a decision that held

their communities together!

What happened Mt. Olive? What was supposed to

be a fun, family celebration ended up being a logistical

nightmare for many parents! Community is ALL or

Nothing!

On Saturday, October 29th, 7AM, the

American Red Cross arrived at the

Knights of Columbus, Blessed

Mother Seton Council 5410 Hall in

Flanders, NJ for a scheduled blood drive.For many of us there might have been a hint

of snow coming, but at 7AM, the blood

drive scheduled for that day was a "GO". By

8:30AM we were ready for customers and

unfortunately by noon ready to shut down.

We were able to collect donations from 13,

some who were scheduled and a few early

walk-ins. Unfortunately we had to cancel

others who were scheduled later in the day.

Inspite of the unpredicted and rather unsea-

sonal expectation of the Nor'easter that fol-

lowed that day, 13 pints were gathered, and

these were 13 more than what we started

with. So, in many ways a net gain for the

Knights & the American Red Cross.The Knights of Columbus and the

American Red Cross were not defeated by

'mother nature', not by any stretch of the

imagination. We have just begun and we

will have more blood drives in the future. I

thank the Red Cross and their personnel for

venturing out this day and for their dedica-

tion to this all important task of keeping the

blood banks filled.

Acavalcade of musicians and artists

from New Jersey, have left theirmark in music history by following

their hopes and dreams. One Mt Olive band

is trying to walk the same path to fame, as

the Mt. Olive indie rock/ surf rock band,

Rewind the Crisis look to expand their fan

base any way they can. The band currently

made up of members Peter Diamantis (gui-

tarist), Matthew Pisserchio (guitarist) , and

George Hidreth (drummer) are currently

entered in a contest for a chance to be dis-

covered, and are slowly building an audi-

ence through the internet and social media.The Guitar Center sponsored contest is

called WhoozNXT, and encourages local

bands, singers and songwriters to register

for the contest in order for a chance at

$10,000 cash, new gear from Fender,

Taylor, Shure, and Ernie Ball, and studio

time with Grammy Award winning produc-

er John Shanks . The only rule of the con-

test, is to get as many fans as possible using

social media sites like twitter, YouTube,

Soundcloud, Facebook, and other sites to

spread the word. John Shanks has worked

with several ground breaking performers

such as Carlos Santana, Keith Urban, Sting

and Celine Dion.Rewind the Crisis is currently ranked #8

in the contest and is slowly climbing up the

charts, using social media to their advan-

tage. The fan count up is now up to 12,372

fans and is growing every day. Rewind the

Crisis describes where their name came

from and why they entered the contest:

Matthew, our lead guitarist, signed us

up to see if we could even break the top 100.

Truth be told, we are now in the top 10 out

5,000+ bands worldwide, we had an origi-

nal band of 4 members and we decided todrop the bassist and the drummer, the added

our good friend, George. Therefore we

became a 3 member band. The name simply

came from a friend stating it as a joke and

we put it in with a couple other names and

voted, "Rewind the Crisis" won the voting.

The band also cites artists like John

Lennon, Jerry Garcia, Jack Steadman, and

Benjamin Thompson as influences in their

music which they describe as pop sound-

ing with rock elements and a beachy feel.

The Band can be seen playing in many

Help Support Mt. Olives Own Rewind the Crisis,in Their Quest to be Discovered

local music spots such as the Blairstown

theatre, The Canvas Clash in Boonton NJ,

and the Sherman Theatre in StroudsburgPA. Not bad considering the band was cre-

ated just this year. The band welcomes the

prize money and the chance to work with

John Shanks hoping to use the money to get

brand new equipment for the next chapter of

their band. For more information on

Rewind the Crisis you can go to

- I kill about 400,000

Americans each year.

- I am the leading cause of

preventable death in the

United States.

- I give people cancer, heart

disease, chronic pulmonary

disease, stroke, sinusitis,

bronchitis, pneumonia,

emphysema and tracheitis.- I cause miscarriages, pre-

mature births, birth defects

and low birth weight.

- Just standing near me can

cause asthma, respiratory

illnesses and even cardio-

vascular damage.

- I have over 4,000 chemi-

cals including tar, carbon

monoxide, cyanide and

even formaldehyde!!

If you havent already

guessedI am a cigarette.

And if youre one of the 47

Million Americans who still

smokes this is your wake

up call! GASO day is

almost here!

GASO stands for The

Great American Smokeout,

which is observed annually

on the third Thursday of

November. GASO day isintended to encourage peo-

ple to butt out and abstain

from smoking cigarettes for

24 hours in hopes that this

challenge will help them to

quit forever.

Statistics show that 70%

of current smokers actually

want to quit smoking, but

find it too difficult. In fact,

millions of these people try

to quit smoking every year,

but several do not succeed.If you are one of these peo-

ple, then you already know

how difficult it can be.

Research shows that

Nicotine can be just as

addictive as hardcore drugs

like heroin and cocaine.

When conventional

methods of quitting fail,

smokers often look to alter-

native medicine for assis-tance. Acupuncture, a suc-

cessful alternative and

holistic approach, has con-

verted a growing number of

cigarette smokers into per-

manent ex-smokers. Did

you know that Acupuncture

is now court mandated in

some cases for the treatment

of drug addictions? This is

because Acupuncture has

been proven to reduce crav-ings and alleviate the

unwanted withdrawal

symptoms like anxiety, irri-

tability and difficulty con-

centrating. Results from

one study, conducted at the

University of Oslo in

Norway, showed that

Acupuncture significantly

reduced the desire to smoke

for up to five years follow-

ing the initial treatment.

Subjects from the study alsoreported that the taste of

cigarettes was much worse

following the Acupuncture

treatment. So, the treat-

ments actually help to

reduce the patients taste for

tobacco.

So you are probably

wondering how

Acupuncture actually helps

you to butt out. The sim-plistic answer to this ques-

tion is that Acupuncture

helps to put the body back

into balance. Any time we

have a symptom, illness,

disease, or in this case with-

drawal or addiction it means

that there is some imbalance

occurring in the body. This

imbalance is corrected with

the insertion of tiny needles

into the body. Acupuncturehas a profound affect on all

of the human bodys com-

plex systems (in the case of

smoking addiction-the nerv-

ous system, the circulatory

system and the respiratory

system) and the treatments

help to correct any imbal-

ances in the body.

The Acupuncture treat-

ments are focused on elimi-

nating the withdrawal

symptoms associated with

the addiction. So in addi-

tion to promoting relax-

ation, Acupuncture helps to

reduce cravings, jitters, anx-

iety, irritability and restless-

ness. The treatments are tai-

lored to the individual,

based on specific needs.

Generally, tiny needles are

inserted into various points

on the ears and body toassist with the smoking ces-

sation. The needles are usu-

ally retained for about 30

minutes, during which

patients are encouraged to

relax or even take a nap.

Sometimes, Chinese Herbs

are also prescribed to assist

in the process.

In addition, here are

some helpful lifestyle and

dietary changes that can

make quitting smoking easi-

er:

- Drink Lobelia or Green

Tea during the detox period

to help discourage nicotine

cravings. These teas help to

rid the body of toxins and

Green Tea, in particular, is a

natural substance that helps

to reduce Cortisol (the stuff

that is released when our

bodies are under stress).

- Drink plenty of water.

Dryness can increase crav-

ings for cigarettes.

- Take deep breaths!

Oxygen is free and it helps

to calm us down and give us

energy.

- Avoid junk food, sugar

and coffee. These sub-

stances can increase acidity

in the body making with-

drawal symptoms worse.- Increase fruits and veg-

gies! Leafy greens and car-

rots can help decrease acidi-

ty in the body, reducing the

withdrawal symptoms.

- Drink fresh fruit and

vegetable juices to help

flush out nicotinic acid from

the blood and balance blood

sugar.

- Exercise! Exercising

helps to reduce stress and

promote relaxation more

than cigarettes can!

Whether it's food, hats

or mittens, gift cards,

clothing or toys, local

schools get an A+ for their efforts

on giving to local families in need.From Oct. 31 to Nov. 4,

Sandshore Elementary in

Budd Lake has been collect-

ing for the Interfaith Food

Pantry in Morris County.

Students were

asked to bring food into their

classrooms, as well as baby

items and cleaning items.

"We collect every year,

prior to the Thanksgiving

Holiday, so that the FoodPantry can give our items to

people in need in Morris

County over the holiday sea-

son," explains Brinda

Wederich, Sandshore

Guidance Counselor, who

has been leading the school

in this drive since 2007. In

addition, the Interfaith Food

Pantry will service Mt. Olive

families once they qualify for

services, even to the extent ofhaving the items delivered to

their homes.

"Each classroom collects

the food, volunteers help sort

it into boxes, andthe

Interfaith Food Pantry picks

Holiday Giving at Mt. Olive Schoolup the donation," explains

Wederich. "Theyalso weigh

our foodstuffs and let us

know how many pounds we

have collected.I let the stu-

dents know this amountevery year.

Before then, families that

could use a boost over the

holidays receivedcomplete

turkey dinners. Since this

required the families to come

to school to pick up their

donations, and it required the

storage of frozen turkeys, the

project lacked the privacy

that some families may have

preferred, so the project waschanged to its current config-

uration.

"This project is one in

which the students and their

families truly give of them-

selves," says Wederich.

"They have a moment to

think of students and families

who have greater needs than

their own. It is a part of our

character education program

at the school."Giving does not end with

Thanksgiving at Sandshore.

Wederich also organizes the

giving of gift cards during

the winter holidays.

"I determine who needs a

boost this winter season at

school," she says. The gift

cards range from $2-$25 and

are from Baskin Robbins,

Build A Bear, Chuck E

Cheese, Claire's, Cold Stone,Icing, Aeropostale, American

Eagle, The Children's Place,

The Disney Store,

Gymboree, Journey Kids,

Kids Footlocker, Land's End

Kids, and Pottery Barn Kids.

Staff has gift cards on a

holiday tree and they may

take one now, she says. The

gift card says something like

Starting as a group of parents to help each

other and their children, PEC Parents of

Exceptional Children in Roxbury, a 501C3

non-profit organization, focuses on integra-

tive programs to enhance the experiences ofolder children with disabilities, and therefore,

enhance their lives. Think quality of life, and

this ideal becomes a dream then becomes a

reality. Whether its movie night, acting,

karaoke, or a dance, the world has become a

much bigger and better place for them all.

It became evident that something more could

be done, needed to be done for children with

disabilities. Learning challenges receive spe-

cial treatment from the school system, and

though good, may not enough, there are gaps.

Regardless if we are speaking about Autism,Cerabal Palsy, Pervasive Development

Disorders, or Downs Syndrome, support,

education, and specific interaction would

make life better for both the families of these

children, and the children themselves.

Behind the genius of this is simply parents

and sibling, friends and strangers, volunteer-

ing with a some help and some grant monies.

Initially the goals was support and education

among families and among families and pro-

fessional educators and has evolved to enrich-

ment programs that involve real life learning

situations in a way that is fun and inclusive.

Whether its movie night, acting, karaoke, or

a dance, the world has become a much bigger

and better place for these disabled young

adults. Currently three groups are in place,

one more interesting than the other.Meeting twice a month, volunteers and fami-

ly members go for the learning and the fun.

The TGIF Teen Group meets two times a

month at the Roxbury Recreation Center on

Eyland. Often there is a third night for addi-

tional activities with a specific intent. There

may be a movie, a basketball game, or a

theme night. Social appropriateness is so

important, life skills are developed in a way

that is fun among peers. Enrollment can be

increased this year, some of the members

have aged-out. The group is for 14-21 yearolds, there is a yearly registration fee, the

grant money does not cover everything, it

only goes so far.

Perhaps you would be interested in Stage

Left, this year there is also room for expan-

sion which is unusual. During these exciting

get-togethers at the Roxbury Performing Arts

Center, RoxPac, these young people dive into

the theatre arts, work on expressing them-

selves, to use their voice, perform, act, sing,

dance, collaborate.

The element of responsibility comes forefront

as others are dependent on your skills and

commitment to see things through when an

act or a play is in progress. There is the mem-

orization of your lines, the use of your body.

A registration fee is required, this group runs

in sessions of approximately 10 weeks.

Reservations Only is dinner twice a month for

the age group 18-25, arranging and planning

where to go, the invitation list, transportation,

all the logistics of who and how.

Development in social arenas with the public

engages the wait staff, the valet, paying the

bills and using currency. These events add

endless personal development skills to the

repertoire - social competence, independence,

considering those with allergies. There are

many more programs for younger people, this

It rarely snows in October. In fact, this

Noreaster that hit the east coast twodays before Halloween this year was an

anomaly. It was only the fourth October

snowstorm in more than one hundred years!

And we witnessed the reason why.

Branches that had yet to shed their autumn

leaves, became laden with snow and gave

way to their heavy burden.

When you think about it, the cycle of theseasons is an amazing design. Mother

Nature waiting patiently until her trees have

dropped their leaves before sprinkling the

snows of Winter, inherently protecting

them from disaster. But this timeit didnt

Bearing Scarswork. This time, an unforeseen and rare

occurrence took place and many trees were

damaged or lost.I suppose the storm is kind of like life.

You move in your ordinary cycle, becoming

complacent, expecting that one day will be

the same as the next. Then out of the blue,

an unusual storm rolls in. A storm you

arent prepared to weather, you become bat-

tered and scarred.

Out in front of our house, we have an

ornamental red maple. A small, wide, pret-

ty tree that marks the entrance to our home.

About two weeks ago I noticed it was get-

ting a bit full and thought I should prune itback. But other tasks took my time and

attention and I never got around to cutting

it.

When the storm hit this weekend, like

many other trees around, our little maple

was tested. Those branches, which I hadnt

thinned out and lightened, collected the

heavy snow, and when the burden became

too much to bear, the tree split under the

duress. The left side of our little tree tore

away, leaving it asymetrical and scarred.

As I cleared away the damaged part of

the tree I thought about how we would need

to replace it come Springtime. It no longer

looks perfect and inviting. But the longer Iworked in its presence, the more I realized,

we all carry our scars, some on the inside,

some on the outside. Scars from broken

hearts and lost loved ones, scars from sur-

geries that removed a cancer or repaired a

broken spine, scars that helped shape us into

the resilient souls we are today. And its

these scars, our imperfections that make us

all the more beautiful.

Ill leave that little ornamental maple in

place. It has a story to tell. It says, I

weathered the storm. I may be beaten andbruised, but my roots are strong. I may not

look as youd expect, but I am alive and

beautiful all the same. Maybe even more

so, because I have endured hardship and I

have survived.

Our little tree reminds me that you dont

give up on a living thing because its dam-

aged. You love it all the more.

the law, explains Castellano, but it changes

the burden on the schools which now have

to report on a timely manner any bullying

incident and then that gets reported to the

state.

The governor is putting a lot of attention

on bullying incidences, says Castellano, and

there will be consequences and legal ramifi-

cations. Charges range from disorderly per-

sons offense for harassment to a third

degree offense for terroristic threats, poten-

tial indictment, criminal record, jail time,

probation and community service.

It is also important to understand the dif-

ferences between bothering and bully-

ing.

Bothering can be when someone takes

anothers stuff; bullying can be when some-

one pushes you and you fall down.

Neither should be tolerated, says

Castellano. Its still going to affect her

ability to learn and her ability to feel safe.

We have to encourage students to come

forward and report, says Castellano.

Suicide, Thats no way out ever. A lot of

times they dont say anything because they

are afraid. Other people who see it must say

its not right.

We have to ensure a safe haven for stu-

dents. If they dont feel safe they cant

learn.

Mt. Olive school district has prepared

itself for the new law by the formation of

school safety teams and appointing a district

anti-bullying coordinator as well as anti-

bullying specialists in each of the six

schools, says Dr. Larrie Reynolds, superin-

tendent of schools.

Faculty, staff, down to the bus drivers

have been trained to what bullying is and

how to deal with it, says Reynolds.

Assemblies and presentations to students

were held in October to each of the schools;

school board members received training;

and newsletters were handed out to parents.

With the new HIB law, changes have

been made on how incidents are reportedand there are established procedures written

into law of what to do in case there is

harassment, explains Reynolds.

There is a new chain of communication

from school board to administration to state

board of education, he explains.

Weve always taken a strong stand

against bullying and harassing, says

Reynolds. Weve never had any kind of

tolerance toward kids who are going to

bully or harass other kids. Were glad this

has been brought up. My question is

continued from page 16

Bullying...whether passing a law will end bullying? I

hope that it does but Im not optimistic. We

have a law against murder but people still

get murdered.

Kids cant control their emotion,

whether it stems from anger or jealousy,

concludes Reynolds. School administra-

tors see this more too often.

For more information on the HIB policy

within the district, go to

www.mtoliveboe.org, select board of edu-

cation and then district policies.
