O
n June 15, firefighters from
Randolph and Roxbury will
come together to help fight
childhood cancer with an event that
will benefit St. Baldrick's, a founda-
tion that helps to fight against child-
hood cancer. The fire departments
from both towns will join forces to cel-
ebrate the third anniversary of the
event. This celebration will start at
noon on Saturday, June 15, and will be
held in Succasunna at the Roxbury Co.
1 Firehouse on Main Street.
Plans for the event were presented
by Roxbury Co. 1 firefighter Jennifer
Markle, who remarked to the Roxbury
Township Council that this year's
event would be the grandest one yet.
Markle stated that last year, a total of
150 firefighters shaved their heads in
honor and support of children fighting
cancer. In addition to the firefighters,
other members of the community vol-
unteered to have their heads shaved to
show their support. One example of
this event's promise to be bigger and
better than last year is the fact that the
total number of heads to be shaved
ranges from 500 to 600.
Each person who volunteers to
have his or her head shaved gains
pledges for the task, and a donation of
$50 is requested before each individ-
ual's head can get shaved.
Randolph firefighter and depart-
ment trustee Thomas Povinelli notes
that while his department held the

onna Kusama and Rose Mandala,
members of the Art Association in
Roxbury, will display their artwork
in an exhibit titled Sunrise of Springtime
Angels at the Roxbury Public Library,
located at 103 Main Street, Succasunna,
during the month of May. Everyone is invit-
ed to view their work.
Rose Mandala resides in Succasunna
with her husband Charles, and is a longtime
member of the Art Association in Roxbury.
She currently serves as the associations
photographer and historian.
In the past, her artwork has been on
exhibit at Gallery One at Montclair State
University, the County College of Morris,
the Atrium Gallery in the Morris County
Hall of Records, and the Roxbury, Chester
and Wharton libraries. She has received
several awards for her paintings, photo-
graphs, charcoal, and graphite artwork.
Donna Kusama resides in Landing with
her husband, and has also been a member of
the Art Association in Roxbury for many
years. She is currently the library exhibit

of nine years old and over time discovered
she had a passion for fantasy and spiritual
art. Glorious angels, flowers, and healing
waterfalls are things she loves to draw and
each of her pieces captures the magnificent
spectrums of color. Whimsical, inspira-
tional, and mystical are just a few words to
describe her work. Kusama is also a mem-
ber of the Pastel Society of New Jersey. She
has exhibited her artwork at the Mount
Arlington Library, Roxbury Public Library,

event on its own in the past, joining forces
with Roxbury proved to be a good idea. Not
only will the event be bigger and better than
last year, but the increase in involvement is
sure to raise awareness of childhood cancer
within the community and the surrounding
area.
Povinelli said that in past years, the event
was held at a local bar in grill. The
increased amount of participants this year,
including a number of firefighters from
Roxbury, made the Roxbury Co. 1
Firehouse an agreeable place to hold the
event. This year, Povinelli predicts that over
30 fire department members will be present
at the firehouse in Roxbury.
There will be time to remember last
year's guest of honor, Owen Smith, a young
boy from the area who lost his battle with
cancer shortly before Christmas of last year.
Markle reflects on that tragic event, noting
that everyone who was involved was deeply
affected, to the point where the group col-
lectively wondered if they should even hold
the event again this year. The decision to
continue also spurred the idea that the two
fire departments should join forces for this
year's event.
While Owen will be honored as the
group's angel this year, there is a new guest
of honor. Jake Grimes, a young boy from
Mount Arlington, is currently fighting a bat-
tle with cancer. His father is a police officer
in Mount Arlington. This year, Jake will
lead a parade to help kick off the event.
The parade and head shavings are not the
only part of this event. There will also be
retail vendors, along with an appearance by
both the New Jersey Devils mascot and
cheerleaders. In addition, there will be a
pink fire truck and a dunk tank.
Members of the public from both towns
are welcome to attend. While admission is
free, a $50 donation to St. Baldrick's is
requested to have your head shaved.

T
hough not necessarily common,
migraine headaches can affect chil-
dren as well as adults. One study
found that by age 15, 5 percent of all chil-
dren and adolescents had suffered from
migraine headaches, while 15 percent had
experienced tension headaches. Children
often suffer from headaches because of a
cold, fever, illness or infection, including
infections of the throat and ears. Sinusitis
also may cause a child to suffer from
headaches. Ideas as to what causes a
migraine headache have changed over the
years. Scientists long linked a migraine
headache to the dilating and narrowing of
blood vessels on the surface of the brain.
But now scientists suspect a genetic link
could be behind migraine headaches. An
estimated 70 percent of children and adoles-
cents who have migraines have an immedi-
ate family member who also suffers from
migraines or did as a child. Such youngsters
also may be inheriting a tendency to be
affected by migraine headache triggers like
bright lights, changesin the weather and
fatigue. Kids who spend too much time in
the sun or are too physically active may also
be susceptible to migraine headaches.

O
n Saturday, May 25th, the Morris County Parks
Commission and Fosterfields Living Historical
Farm will present "Civil War Remembrances", a
special event on the 150th Anniversary of the Civil War.
The location is truly appropriate because of its direct con-
nection to this momentous time in Americas history.
General Joseph Warren Revere, grandson of Paul
Revere, purchased the property in the mid-1800s and built
the impressive Gothic Revival home, The Willows.
Charles Foster purchased the farm in 1881, changing its
name to Fosterfields.
Early in the Civil War, Revere was appointed colonel of
the 7th New Jersey Volunteer Infantry. His courage and per-
formance through many battles had him quickly moving up
the ranks. However, the Battle of Chancellorsville, Virginia
in 1863 became Reveres most personally challenging time
in his distinctive military career. Regrouping his men dur-
ing the chaos of battle lead some to believe he was retreat-
ing, which resulted in a court-martial. Eventually President
Local Author has Book Signing and Civil War Exhibit
Lincoln overturned the ruling, but General Revere turned in
his resignation.
Historian, actor and author William Chemerka will be
portraying General Revere in the Willows, along with his
wife Debbie as Mrs. Rosanna Revere. He will share with
the public his experiences at Chancellorsville along with his
undeserved court-martial. Bills latest book is about the
Willows most celebrated inhabitant, titled General Joseph
Warren Revere; the Gothic Saga of Paul Reveres
Grandson.
In the Visitor Center, author and historian Robert Jones
will present an impressive display of original Civil War arti-
facts and memorabilia. The extensive exhibit covers just
about everything related to the Civil War, but there is a
strong emphasis on the personal side of the soldier what
he carried, brought from home, or purchased from the camp
sutler.
Mr. Jones will also have available and will be signing his
Civil War related books. Recently he completed his fourth
book Civil War Artillery A Pictorial Introduction.
Previous to that he has published The Civil War Canteen
Second Edition and Battle of Gettysburg The Relics,
Artifacts & Souvenirs. Although thousands of books have
been written on Gettysburg, he was the first to have pub-
lished an in-depth study with over 750 photographs on the
rare battlefield relics and the unique souvenirs associated
with the famous event.
Anxious to get todays youth more involved in American
History, Robert published his first childrens book titled
Children at the Battle of Gettysburg Their Unforgettable
Summer. The story itself is fictional, but based on actual
events just prior to and through the famous 1863
Pennsylvania battle. It lets children learn about Gettysburg
and the Civil War in a fun and exciting way without even
realizing it. The gory details of war were purposely avoid-
ed and the kids today can put themselves directly in the
middle of what was a calamitous experience by children
such as them 150 years ago.
This event is in conjunction with the 150th Anniversary
of the Civil War and it is an opportunity for both young and
old to experience and better understand the hardships and
sacrifices which were made during the most horrendous
time in our nations early beginning. Bob Jones and Bill
Chemerka are both members of the 33rd New Jersey
Volunteer Infantry and have been active in promoting Civil
War history throughout New Jersey for over 20 years.
Fosterfields is also a working farm with a variety of ani-
mals - using the tools, techniques and materials of the 19th
century. The event is on Saturday, May 25th and "Mr. and
Mrs. Revere" will be at their front door to welcome all from
1:00 3:30. Mr. Jones will be in the Visitors Center the
entire day from 10:00 5:00 to discuss the Civil War, sign
books, and explain the artifacts on display. Fosterfields is
located at 73 Kahdena Rd., Morristown, NJ (973) 326-7645

very June, The West
Side Dance Center
holds its annual
Spring Showcase. However
this year, inspired by the
fact that the parts of New
Jersey are still recovering
from Hurricane Sandy, the
Randolph-based studio is
working to turn their June
15th recital into an opportu-
nity to raise needed funds
for the Sandy New Jersey
Relief Fund. West Side
Dance Center will hold this
years showcase on
Saturday, June 15 at
Morristown-Beard School
in Morristown. There are
three performances, at 1:00,
4:00 and 7:00 pm.
According to studio director
Dale Julian-Bierce, West
Side Dance Center teachers,
parents, and Performing
Troupe students are all
working together on activi-
ties to raise money for the
relief effort, while also
developing the recital
around a Jersey Strong
theme. The recital will fea-
ture a tricky-tray and raffles.
Members of the audience
can also send Sandy
Grams with candy and per-
sonal messages to perform-
ers. All money raised will
be donated to the relief
fund, started and chaired by
NJ First Lady Mary Pat
Christie to ensure long-term
aid to the local non-profit
organizations that directly
assist victims and commu-
nities with rebuilding.
Hurricane Sandy has
affected so many of us here
at the studio that it seemed
appropriate to continue to
focus our attention on help-
ing restore our beloved
Jersey Shore and its resi-
dence says Dale.

livia Rubenstein of Boonton
Township, NJ, was about to cele-
brate her Bat Mitzvah and wanted
to do something special to help homeless
dogs in need. Olivia is a Junior Volunteer
with Eleventh Hour Rescue so she naturally
decided to make that organization her spe-
cial cause. Instead of gifts, she asked for
donations to Eleventh Hour Rescue of
Rockaway, NJ, and her family and friends
responded in a very generous manner.
Olivia collected many donations of sup-
plies such as high quality food products,
collars, leashes, and toys. Everything that
the dogs need while waiting to be adopted
in to their forever homes. Olivia herself
made a substantial monetary contribution.
In total, a donation of $1,300 was collected
in addition to the supplies. The money will
be used to purchase adopt me bandanas,
and also used to help offset medical costs as
well as other expenses needed to save the
lives of innocent dogs in need.
The Rubenstein Family, active members
of Temple Beth Am in Parsippany, NJ, are
committed to helping dogs in need; they
have previously adopted a dog from
Eleventh Hour Rescue. His name is
Paragon and he is a Plott Hound. In addi-
tion they currently participate in the Dog
Foster Family program as well.
Eleventh Hour Rescue wishes to sincere-
ly thank Olivia and her family for their
efforts and contributions to this cause.
ABOUT ELEVENTH HOUR RESCUE
Eleventh Hour Rescue is a fully regis-
tered 501C(3), nonprofit, 100% no-kill, vol-
unteer based organization dedicated to sav-
ing the lives of innocent dogs and cats on
death row. These are pets that deserve love
and a place to live where they are honored
and cared for. No dog or cat deserves to die
simply because it does not have a home.
Many of them are rescued at their Eleventh
Hour--when they are scheduled to be put to
death by shelters that can no longer care for
them.
We give the dogs and cats all the medical
attention they require, a place to live, and
through our extensive adoption services, a
second chance at a happy and fulfilled life.
We are affiliated with many like-minded
animal groups throughout the United States.
Eleventh Hour Rescue is not subsidized
by any government grants and receives no
major corporate funding. We rely solely on
the generosity of our volunteers, the com-
munity, and animal lovers everywhere.
When finding a loving home for one of
our pets, we make a promise to them before
Olivia Rubenstein

they leave. While they will never be
replaced in our hearts, a new life will take
their place in our homes. Since our incep-
tion in 2004, we have filled that promise
thousands of times over.

Medical Center and other organizations, will be held on May
26th from 9am to 3pm at Mars Chocolate on High Street. The
admission fee for spectators is $5 for age 5 and up; the entry
fee for exhibitors who have not pre-registered is $30 per vehi-
cle. The event is held rain or shine; there is no rain date. No
pets or alcohol are permitted on grounds.
The event is chaired by Hackettstown Rotary Club
President, Bob Eberle, owner of Panther Valley Pharmacy in
Allamuchy.
He has planned almost every detail single-handedly,
determined to make this our biggest and most successful car
show ever. And he means ever, shared Kevin Guyette.
Guyette, another Rotary Club member, is volunteer coordina-
tor.
Adding to the nostalgic feeling already set by cars of many
eras, will be Patrick, who will be on hand all day and sign
autographs (for a fee).
Memorial Motor Madness is sponsored by The
Hackettstown Rotary Club, with major support from MARS
Chocolate, Hackettstown Hyundai, Johnson Dodge Chrysler
Jeep Ram, Route 46 Auto, Smith Motors, Warren County
Community College, and Centenary College. Also, a number
of individuals and local businesses are sponsoring different
Class Sections for the vehicles.
Guyette shared that 500 or more cars can be expected if the
weather is good. There are 19 judging classes, for everything
from antiques to foreign cars to Monster and mini trucks to
Camaros and Firebirds and more.
Of course, what would an event like this be without food
and vendors selling wares? Guyette shared that a number of
specially food and other vendors are expected. That includes
Down to the Bone BBQ, a new restaurant on Lake
Lackawanna in Stanhope, which will offer pulled-pork sand-
wiches and other BBQ goodies.
An important part of the 19 year annual event is Doc
South. Guyette shared that Doc South will be spinning the
oldies all day long, with a special moment of silence for the
countrys active and veteran service members and playing of
The National Anthem at noon. He also will be collecting
donations of calling cards, and cash to purchase calling cards,
for service members stationed overseas, so that they can stay
in touch with loved ones.
While attendees will enjoy the show, the proceeds from the
events will take on a more serious tone, helping others in
important ways. Guyette noted that a majority of the proceeds
realized by the event are designated to the Joan Knechel
Cancer Center at Hackettstown Regional Medical Center.
This state of the art center provides the best in cancer
treatment practically in our backyard. For patients who for-
merly had to travel to New York City, Livingston, or event
Morristown for chemo and other treatment, having the center
so close to home eases both pain and anxiety for many, said
Guyette.
The event also benefits a number of other Rotary inter-
ests, including The Arc, the NORWESCAP Food Bank, Big
Brothers/Big Sisters, the Hackettstown Area Family Relief
Fund, Camp Merry Heart and Camp Warren, to name just a
few. Our Rotary Club also has an international project in St.
Kitts in which we partner with Hackettstown Regional
Medical Center to deliver state of the art medical equipment
and supplies to the hospital on that island. MARS also has
been part of that success by donating M&Ms for patients and
hospital personnel in St. Kitts, all of whom are overjoyed to
receive their favorite candy! Guyette noted.
Mars Chocolates presence is also an important part of the
Memorial Motor Madness experience as spectators looks at
the car and catch images of the popular Red, Peanut, Miss
Green, and Ms. Brown M&Ms gracing the area.
The location is such an asset to the car show because the
grounds are spacious and beautifully kept. Theres tons of
room for cars and vendors, and MARS associates are extraor-
dinarily friendly, helpful, and welcoming. They set the tone
for a smooth-running event thats also a lot of fun for every-
one. MARS Chocolate is the largest manufacturing presence
in Warren County, and its commitment to its employees
many of whom live in the area and to the nonprofits that
make Warren County a great place to live and work - is huge.
That a company of this size and stature recognizes and
embraces this project of the Rotary Club and has made a com-
mitment to its continued success says good things about
MARS and Rotary alike, shared Guyette.
While the show is a fun, family event, the day of the show
is a long one for the Rotarians who are involved. However,
Guyette notes that the company and the causes are worth it.
First, this event gives me a chance to spend the day with
some of the best people I know the members of the
Hackettstown Rotary Club. It means a perfect partnership
between industry and community to support a medical center
that provides the best in care and comfort to patients and fam-
ilies. And it means a chance to let our guests know what
Rotary is all about: Service Above Self and a commitment to
world peace and understanding through service to others, she
said.
The Hackettstown Rotary must be doing something right
with Memorial Motor Madness. It has been asked to assist the
Paramus Rotary Club in setting up its very first car show in
August. Guyette said her club members looks forward to
being there with the Paramus Rotary Club, and helping it in
any way they can.

Meet The Morris County Clerk Candidates
I
know what it takes to
operate the Morris
County Clerks Office
and no other candidate has
my work experience or cre-
dentials. That is why twenty-
four Republican Mayors
have endorsed me and I have
earned the support of
Congressman Rodney
Frelinghuysen, Senators
Joseph Pennacchio and
Leanna Brown, former
County Clerk Joseph Bell
and County Surrogate John
Pecoraro.
As a practicing attorney
and small business owner, I
regularly use the Clerks
office.
As a Freeholder, I oversee
the operations of the countys
more than 311 million dollar
budget, including the Clerks
office. I have delivered a 0%
flat tax for 2013. Prior to the
Governors 2% CAP, I
capped municipal spending
to the rate of inflation!
As a Parsippany Council
President and Vice President,
I reduced spending, generat-
ed millions of dollars in rev-
enue, wrote ordinances, testi-
fied in Trenton, and spon-
sored the 911 memorial. As
Chief of Enforcement over
statewide operations, I com-
manded a staff of more than
100 public employees with
five statewide regional and
three satellite offices.
I will make the Clerks
office the most efficient and
technologically advanced
office in the State and protect
your interests. I ask for your
support again on June 4th.

bigniew Nowacki, 41,
is running as a
Republican candidate
for Morris County Clerk in
the June Primary. Nowacki
was born in Poland and
served as an infantryman in
the Polish Army. He immi-
grated to the United States in
1992, married in 1993 and
worked numerous jobs while
learning English. He became
a U.S. citizen in 1996 and has
resided in Denville for over
17 years. Nowacki earned an
Associate of Science in
Business Administration
from County College of
Morris and a Bachelor of
Science in Accounting from
Fairleigh Dickinson
University degrees earned
while raising a family.
Nowackis current posi-
tion in the Treasurers Office
of the County of Morris
gives him insight into the
countys functions and oper-
ations and a very good
understanding of finances in
the county. The County
Clerks position would be a
natural transition for
Nowacki.
By running for Clerk,
Nowacki feels he could make
an impact in Morris County.
His sole purpose would be to
serve the residents, a full
time commitment that he
would not take lightly. He
proposes relocating polling
locations from schools to
alternate sites in our commu-
nities for school safety. In the
interim, he recommends
background checks for all
new poll workers.

O ' C o n n o r
R e d w i n e ,
Democratic Candidate for
the office of Morris County
Clerk. I am running to give
the people of Morris County
a choice in this election , the
right to elect an honest, open
and willing individual dedi-
cated to making a difference.
The job of Clerk, who
works for residents of Morris
County, includes filing,
recording births, mortgages
and land deeds, performs
weddings,issues passports,
serves as a notary, prepares
the election ballot and over-
sees the voting process.
I am qualified for the
position of Morris County
Clerk. I have worked in the
airline industry since 1977
and my skills as a flight
attendant overseeing flights
with a staff of 10-14 crew
members has given me the
opportunity to serve the pub-
lic as a safety coordinator,
team leader, (purser) and liai-
son between the passengers
and the airlines. In addition,
as a purser, I was responsible
for assigning duties to staff,
organizing service plans and
providing quality care during
inflight emergencies.
Having lost many dear
friends and co workers on
September 11, flight 93 and
175, I volunteered to assist
grieving family members and
co workers and currently
serve as Chairperson of
Professional Standards and
Employee Assistance Person
( EAP) for the Association of
Flight Attendants and
Communication Workers

Airlines.
When elected, I plan to

the process. More-efficient

seniors and all people of
Morris County.

J
ames J. Vigilante of
Parsippany brings political
experience, military leader-
ship, organizational skills and
business expertise as he runs for
Morris County Clerk in the
upcoming Republican primary.
If elected in the June 4 elec-
tion, Vigilante will replace Joan
Bramhall who has held the seat
for the past three terms. With 12
years of political experience as
councilman of the Parsippany
Township Council, Vigilante is
confident he can take over as
county clerk.
I would consider it a privi-
lege and honor to serve my fel-
low county residents as their
County Clerk, says Vigilante,
48. My military leadership and
organizational skills combined
with my governing and small
business ownership leadership
experience is the perfect combi-
nation the next clerk needs to
posses to pick up where Clerk
Bramhall left off.
Vigilante says, Joan
Bramhall has built one of the
most efficiently run county
clerks office in the State of New
Jersey. The reins need to be
handed to a person who has lead
and motivated a team of people
in an operational system, and I
have. I will improve upon the
effectiveness of the clerks
office and I will insure that the
honorable workers in that office
continue to have the tools and
resources they need to deliver
the services to the people of
Morris County. These improve-
ments will contribute to the goal
to the County Freeholders in
delivering a reduced tax budget.
I will get the job done for less.
A lifelong resident of
Parsippany, Vigilante graduated
Parsippany High School in 1982
and earned his associates degree
from Butler County Community
College in Eldorado, Kansas. He
served the U.S. Air Force from
1982-1986; NJ Air National
Guard 1986-1988; and Air Force
Reserves from 2002 to present.
Professionally, Vigilante is
the owner of a Construction
Management Company; owner
of a construction company; a
licensed real estate agent; and
former owner of a pest control
business.

Morris County Freeholders and Clerk
Candidates to Debate Thursday
O
n behalf of the Republican Clubs of the Chesters &
Mendhams, Mt. Olive and Washington Township we are
please to invite you to our sponsored debate for the
Freeholder and County Clerk Candidates. The date of the debate
is May 23rd, Thursday, from 7:00pm to 9:00pm at the Lodge on
Schooley's Mountain. Doors will open at 6:30. The logistics of
the debate are as follows: 7:00pm County Clerk and 8:00pm
Freeholder. The lodge is located at 91 East Springtown Rd, Long
Valley, NJ 07853 (GPS address)
B
arbara Eames, of
Whippany, is a candidate
for Morris County
Freeholder in the June 4
Republican primary. Barbara con-
siders herself a non-establishment
conservative, bringing years of
grassroots activism to her cam-
paign.
Eames believes that county
government needs to be down-
sized. This means reducing the tax
burden by looking for both effi-
ciencies and a prioritization of nec-
essary services and spending.
The Freeholders participation
in a large regional planning organ-
ization threatens personal property
rights, and grants too much deci-
sion-making authority to non-
elected bureaucrats, rather than
local elected officials.
With 25% of Morris Countys
land area already protected from
development, $95 million still sits
in the County Preservation Trust
Fund. It is time to re-examine the
policy of continuing to tax citizens
to acquire Open Space.
Eames was a nine-year member
of the Hanover Twp. Board of
Education, serving as president of
both her local and County school
boards. She has been an elected
member of the Morris County
Republican Committee since 1993.
She has advised state legislators
on policy issues, and worked
closely with local grass roots
organizations to train citizens to
support local, state, and national
candidates for public office.
Eames is a music teacher in the
South-Orange and Maplewood
School District.
Barbara Eames
M
y name is Stephen
DeHart and I am
running for Morris
County Freeholder. I have
financial experience and
responsibility being a private
businesses owner , a real
estate investor , and a gradu-
ate with a degree in
Economics. My family has
lived in Morris County since
before the Revolution. They
fought in the Revolutionary
War, served on the First
Contintental Congress, and
helped shape the NJ
Constitution. My running
mate Barbara Eames and I are
contending as Conservative
Republicans against the
Regular Republican
Organization. We are non -
establishment candidates.
As a caring life long resi-
dent of Morris County I have
unfortunately noticed a
potentially unrestricted
increase in government at
higher levels due to ideas of
regionalization and land
posession.
In Morris County alone,
25% of land has been bought
by government entities.
Nearly $95 million rightfully
belonging to the tax payers of
Morris County sits in a slush
fund used by the county to
dole out political favors while
inaccurate comparisons are
irresponsibly used to spend
beyond their means.
Programs such as Open Space
create no tax revenue, but
plenty of spending proving to
be detrimental to our econo-
my.
There are very few people
willing to address our county
debt of over $250 million.
This type of spending and
borrowing is masked by rev-
enue given to local govern-
ment offices and agencies
such as Homeland Security as
well as rises in costs to the
public in Health Services,
County Clerk Fees, and
Motor Vehicle Fines.
These are just a few exam-
ples to why I am running for
freeholder. I hope to see you
at the voting booths on June 4

and Andi Cocozza are part of a
group of women who havent just broken
the glass ceiling; theyve shattered it. Not
only do they excel in fields such as engi-
neering, but they are passionate, poised
speakers advocating for issues like adop-
tion reform, volunteerism, disability
awareness, empowering todays youth
through Arts education and more. While
they have different interests and talents,
such as singing and dancing, they all have
one thing in common: the Miss America
pageant system helped each one to become
the person she is. A key part of the pag-
eant system is the scholarships awarded.
On June 1st at noon , a luncheon and
talent show fundraiser, will be held at the
Stanhope United Methodist Church at #2
Route 183 in Netcong. Performing dance
(hula, lyrical, jazz, and tap) and singing,
plus sharing their platforms will be Chu,
Moore, Kaler-Jones, Cocozza plus Nicole
Washington and Carissa Palumbo. All of
them will be competing in the upcoming
Miss New Jersey pageant. The luncheon
will include homemade sandwiches, sal-
ads, desserts, and beverages. The fundrais-
er will benefit the church and its ministries
and the North Jersey Pageant Scholarship
Fund. Tickets are $10. For tickets and

Joining Miss New Jersey contestants in
the show will be Miss Libertys
Outstanding Teen, Samantha Rizzuto from
Long Valley, a classical vocalist. Besides
performing, she will talk on her platform:
STEM.
My platform is Balancing the
Equation which promotes STEM
(Science, Technology, Engineering and
Mathematics) Education in elementary and
middle school students. I started an organ-
ization called STEM-CAM which allows
me to work with younger students to com-
plete hands-on STEM lessons.
I realized how many people shy away
from STEM subjects in school. This is
detrimental to our countys economy and
global security. STEM careers are increas-
ing at a faster rate than other professions,
yet there are less people pursuing these
careers. STEM careers keep our country
competitive with innovations, inventions,
technological developments and military
resources. The only way to keep STEM

pageant system, she became that and more.
In reflecting on my time with the Miss America organ-
ization, I've realized it's been instrumental in giving me
the guts to seize opportunity and to never back down from
a challenge. When I first started competing, I didn't know
who I was and I'll readily admit that. Every year that I
don't come home with the coveted crown, I come back
with so much more: life-long friendships, the ability to
command any interview, a love for myself incomparable
to any others', and the realization of my own voice.
Without the networking opportunities and the doors that
being a local titleholder opens, I would have never been
able to take my experience and share it with others; I
would never have been able to visualize myself as a leader
and as a role model, said Kaler-Jones.
A recent University of Massachusetts Amherst graduate
with a degree in Computer and Electrical Engineering,
Krysten Moore of Mahwah, Miss Gateway, credits the
public speaking skills she gained from competing in the
pageant system with her receiving the honor of being the
student commencement speaker at her graduation.
Sharon Rosequist of Netcong, a member of the
Stanhope United Methodist Church and a regional pageant
director, echoed Moores feelings They [the contestants]
are interviewed by a panel of judges along over the years,
and we as directors have mock interview sessions to assist
them with interview skills. These interview skills are an
asset to them throughout their lives.
Moore, who will do a tap dance number at the talent
show fundraiser, also shared what made her complete in
the pageant system. Miss America has always embodied
everything I believed. The four points of the crown depict-
ing style, scholarship, success and service are the same
traits that comprise the foundation of my life. Being an
engineer, I appreciate that Miss America has adopted the
STEM program, as it allows women to be intelligent nerds
while maintaining a relatable image, she said.
Another performer at the upcoming program is Miss
Monmouth, Ellen Chu of Park Ridge. Her platform is dis-
ability awareness, an issue that hits close to home. Chu
has congenital hearing loss.
When asked what competing in the pageants has given
her, Chu, who will do a dance number in the show, said:
Confidence, humility, and the ability to finally feel
comfortable in my own skin. Pageants have motivated me
to defy stereotypical stigmas associated [with her disabil-
ity], to put my best foot forward each and every day, and
to make myself visibly successful through the things I do.
Terry Karns of Stanhope, a regional pageant director,
know what Chu means. He has seen first- hand how the
pageants help young women evolve. Hes been involved
in the pageant system off and on for 20 years. He appre-
ciates what the pageant does for people like his daughter
(who used to compete). I saw what the pageant did for
her self- image and financially to help with her Master's
degree .
Performing, You Cant Take That Away from Me:,
will be Miss Northern Lakes, Andi Cocozza, of Ocean
City. Her pageant platform is promoting volunteerism.
I have been a volunteer since I was a little girl, and
community service has always been an important part of
my life, Cocozza said.
Kerry Milone-Clapp of Netcong, is the new director for
Miss Northern Lakes pageant. Although new, she already
knows a great deal about the pageant system ( her moth-
er, Sharon Rosequist is another pageant director) and how
much the funds raised for scholarships will mean. She
reflected on that:
The scholarships we provide for the girls, are so
important. With all of the stress to continue their educa-
tion and all of the student debt that these young ladies all
carry, even the little bit that we are able to provide to them
can be a huge help. Even if it only pays for books, it is at
least one less thing for them to stress over. They are all
such bright and talented individuals, I am very honored
that I am able to be a part of the organization.

A
fter 22 years working as an attorney in Union,
Andrew Wolfenson of Randolph has revisited his
first career choice as a writer with two books
recently published and a third in the works.
Wolfenson, 47, uses his legal expertise in his first book,
In His Own Defense, a fictional novel that exposes the
boundaries of the attorney-client privilege, published in
Dec. 2012. As a baseball fanatic, he writes Bloggin
Baseball (from the bench), a non-fictional collection of
blogs written over four years about baseball, published in
March 2013.
Both independently published through Amazon Create
Space, Wolfenson does his own marketing, which he says
can be harder than the writing process itself. While many
big time authors have also been publishing their own
books recently in order to keep their own profits,
Wolfenson is seeking a publishing company for his next
book.
Its very tough, says Wolfenson, to get a book pub-
lished through an agency. Eighty percent of all books are
independently published. But with that, You are left to
your own devices for publicity. Youre on your own for
publishing it. You are limited on where its sold. I have to
call book stores to arrange book signings. The market
aspect has been more difficult than the writing aspect. With
a full-time job, its difficult.
Wolfenson published his books through his own publish-
ing company-Balding Legal Publishing- and Create Space
through Amazon, Wolfenson was able to upload his manu-
scripts on site, pick the size of his books, verify there are no
errors and upload a cover.
Eventually it goes live, he says. Then, he picks his
pricing and channels of distributing. Although there is no
cost in creating the books, Wolfenson pays for the printing.
Both books are available through Amazon and Kindle.
Described by one reader as a compelling and provoca-
tive mystery that keeps you on the edge of your seat, - In
His Own Defense, 284 pages long, is about an attorney
who is seduced and then falsely accused of murdering a
clients husband. The main character travels to Brazil in
search for the one person who could clear his name.
In the book, Wolfenson explores the issues of attorney-
client privilege.
What happens when an attorney is wrongfully accused
of murdering a clients husband? as described in a press
release. Are conversations and interactions between the
client and attorney protected by the Attorney-Client privi-
lege, or is the attorney capable of defending himself against
the false accusation, even if his actions prove damaging to
the client?
Wolfenson- who works full-time as a general practice
attorney- started writing In His Own Defense in 2011
after reading a newspaper article about a person who died in
a car accident. The article focused on how the spouse is
worth more dead than alive because of insurance. The idea
spread in my head that a woman would kill her husband and
blame her attorney so she could get life insurance money.
After writing four
chapters Wolfenson
stopped, but then
picked up the writing
in Sept. 2012 during
the aftermath of
Hurricane Sandy.
Most of the state
was shut down, says
Wolfenson, during the
hurricane and his
office in Union was
closed for two weeks.
But since he had power
at home, Wolfenson
took advantage to
complete the 28 chap-
ters of the book.
In his second published book, Bloggin Baseball (from
the bench), Wolfenson compiles four years of blogs that he
is written into a 183 page, non-fictional collection, that
includes nine chapters or innings on separate topics that
relate to baseball.
Ive been a baseball fan since I was a young lad, says
Wolfenson, adding that he has been a devout Yankees fan
for more than four decades and has written more than 100
blogs about the sport. In his book, he covers nine interest-
ing topics such as steroids, drug usage, anti-Semitism, gay

issues and more.
There are different reasons for blogging, explains
Wolfenson. What I tried to do is set forth a point of view
that could also educate people. In one of his blogs, for
example, he talks about Hank Greenberg, the first Jewish
superstar in major league baseball who had to deal with a
lot of the same discriminatory issues faced by Jackie
Robinson, who was the first African American professional
baseball player.
Writing is nothing new for Wolfenson who worked as
the editor in chief at his school newspaper at Franklin and
Marshall in Lancaster, Pa., as well as the assistant sports
editor and sports editor. Although his college studies were
in business administration and accounting, Wolfenson says
I always wanted to be a sports writer. Unfortunately, it did-
nt seem like there were enough jobs for a sports writer.
With the thought that accounting or a law degree would
provide more employment opportunities, Wolfenson decid-
ed on law school. In 1991, Wolfenson earned his law
degree from Fordham University School of Law in NY.
Wolfenson actually wrote his first book back in 1994 but
never published it. The story is about a fantasy baseball
league. One coach who takes the game way too seriously
changes the course of the game, by injuring players at one
point because there is a bit of money at stake.
His plans now are to get the book published within the
next year, before the next baseball season in 2014. He
will be shopping for agents to publish this book, and he also
plans on writing a sequel to In His Own Defense.
Although a part-time writer, Wolfenson says If the pos-
sibility opens up to a full-time basis, I would seriously con-
sider doing it.
Wolfenson says, I enjoy being able to tell stories. In the
fiction one, I enjoy the creativity aspect of it. In the blogs, I
enjoy educating the reader into facts they may not have
known or been aware of already.
No stranger to criticism, Wolfenson offers advice to
other writers.
Write for yourself, says Wolfenson. A lot of people
will criticize what you do. One friend told me I shouldnt
quit my day job. As long as youre satisfied in the book you
are putting out, thats the most important thing.
Wolfenson, who is married with three daughters, has
allocated a portion of his proceeds of both books to
Hurricane Sandy relief, Celiac Disease Foundation, and
CARES Foundation.
He chose these charities for different reasons.
Its hard for anyone who lives in New Jersey who does
not want to give, to Hurricane Sandy relief, he says. The
damage from the hurricane also gave him the time he need-
ed to finish writing his first book.
Wolfenson and two of his daughters have been diag-
nosed with Celiac Disease, which is a genetic disorder in
which individuals are intolerant to gluten. He wants to sup-
port the foundation, which is lacking research funding for
treatment and diagnosis of this disease.
As far as the CARES Foundation, Congenital Adrenal
Hyperplasia Genetic Disease, Wolfenson says their office
is in my building in Union. I know them and wanted to help
them out.
Both books are sold in soft cover. In His Own Defense
is $30 through Barnes and Noble; $11 through Amazon; and
$1.99 through Kindle. A couple hundred copies have been
sold so far.
Bloggin Baseball (from the bench) is $11.99 through
Amazon. To arrange a book signing or interview, contact

he flagpole on the front lawn of the Morris County
Courthouse on Washington Street in Morristown
will be painted this weekend and will need approxi-
mately two weeks to cure. As a result, Morris County offi-
cials want the public to know that flags will not be flying
from the flagpole during that time.
In the interim, however, an American flag will be placed
outside of the front entrance to the courthouse during reg-
ular business hours.
Flags will again be flown as soon as the flagpole is able

Being Refurbished

N
o need to settle with the mainstream. There are
sports programs out there- especially in Mt. Olive-
that offers children with differences more individ-
ual attention to improve their skills.
Through PEAK- Parents of ExtrAordinary Kids- sports-
minded kids who have special needs have a recreational
outlet when it comes to playing sports, art or music. PEAK-
which is affiliated with Mt. Olive Recreation - started six
years ago in town and continues to help kids with special
needs learn the skills to move ahead.
With most of its programs offered through the Mt. Olive
Recreation Department, parents have an option to place
their child in a more comfortable setting with more one on
one instruction.
The goal of the program is to give kids a safe place to
play so they can move on, says Vanessa Breschard, presi-
dent of PEAK. So they can learn the skills in a slower
manner and then move on to more of a recreational pro-
gram.
Breschard started the program six years ago after Patrick
Tharret, school psychologist at Chester M. Stephens
Elementary School, in Budd Lake felt there was a need to
have a recreational outlet for kids with special needs.
Tharret called a meeting with a core group of parents to
establish a program.
PEAK is modeled after a similar program, Pathways in
Montville.
At that time, Breschards son who has autism attended
the pre-school program at CMS and then went to Sandshore
Elementary where he has been in a special needs pro-
gram.
The program, which is open to students outside of Mt.
Olive as well, offers a wide variety of programs such as
karate, t-ball, therapeutic horse back riding, swimming and
summer camp.
Weve expanded, says Breschard. When the program
first began, karate and t-ball were the only sports offered
with her husband, Bob, who is still teaching the t-ball and
another parent teaching the karate.
All of the programs are family oriented, she says.
Students and mentors come and serve as helpers. They
run stations. Parents join in; other siblings join in. We have
a nice group and have a nice place to go, a nice safe place
for kids to run around, learn some things, meet new people.
Everyone is on the same wave length.
Therapeutic riding on horses at a stable, Freedom Horse
in Long Valley, is offered. Registration through recreation is
open for the fall.
Swimming in the summer for four weeks from July 8
through Aug. 1- is also offered and taught by a swimming
instructor who teaches at a special needs school.
Its a phenomenal swimming program, says
Breschard.

T
he cat population in Hackettstown is
more controlled these days since the
Pet Adoption League has been
involved in Trap Neuter Release Program
(TNR).
There are some farms, however, and
atleast one homeowner nearby that is strug-
gling with stray cats repopulating the area.
Volunteers of the PAL have been trying to
control the situation by trapping, neutering
and releasing feral cats to their environment,
and adopting out the kittens, friendly cats or
those who were abandoned.
Weve improved the cat population great-
ly in Allamuchy and Panther Valley, says
Kathy Hurley of Belvidere, dog coordinator
and board member of the Pet Adoption
League of Hackettstown. There are so many
farms in Allamuchy. People believe they can
dump a cat on the farm that they dont want.
Cats reproduce so quickly. Weve made quite
a difference right there.
Established in 1937, PAL is a non-profit,
volunteer, animal rescue organization serving
Northwest NJ. It has always been associated
with the dog pound in Allamuchy, says
Hurley, and operates as a no-kill rescue group
rather than a shelter. Most of the animals are
rescued from pounds.
After stray animals are put in holding for
seven days, PAL takes those animals that
were not claimed, gets them vaccinated,
spayed and neutered and then adopted out. Of
those animals, 90 percent are cats and dogs.
Hurley says she found a home for a hen
once, as well as homes for four rabbits.
PAL relies on TNR to control the cat pop-
ulation in that area. PAL approached the
board of Panther Valley in 2005, when 90 per-
cent of the stray cats were coming from the
gated community, says Hurley.
The population was out of control, says
Hurley. Most of those cats were not spayed or
neutered. The Panther Valley board, howev-
er, was not receptive to TNR at that time.
There was a lot of denial by the board,
says Hurley. They didnt think we had a
problem, but we knew we did.
PAL then presented a proposal to the
Allamuchy Board for TNR approval in 2008.
It was at that meeting that a member of the
board of the Crest, which is part of Panther
Valley, was interested in PALs proposal and
agreed to work together, explains Hurley.
It was enough to get our foot in and take
care of the problem itself, says Hurley. We
knew we had to stop the cycle. The ACO (ani-
mal control officer) told us cats were coming
from Panther Valley; 95 percent were coming
PAL Seeks Homes For Animals, More Volunteers
directly from there.
PAL has been negotiating with some farm-
ers in the area, trying to set up a feeding sta-
tion to try to capture the feral cats and then
release them back after they are spayed and
neutered.
Hurley says, 90 percent of cats that we
trap we adopt; they end up being house cats.
The vast majority were abandoned cats, she
says, rather than feral.
PAL traps approximately 60 cats per year.
Out of those cats, four are returned and 94
percent are adopted out. Hurley is unsure how
many cats are wandering throughout the area.
It does maintain one station where we
regularly feed the homeless cats in
Allamuchy, but we are trapping in many loca-
tions based on calls coming into PAL notify-
ing us of homeless cats, says Hurley.
Currently 30 cats are awaiting adoption in
foster homes and the PAL adoption center.
As non-paid volunteers, Hurley says PAL
is always looking for people to help with
TNR.
We have to go everyday to feed the cats
at the feeding stations, says Hurley.
Patricia Millie
More volunteers are needed for fundrais-
ing, training animals, caring for cats, baking
for bake sales, writing for publicity, as well as
donations.
PAL also offers advice to pet owners; post
pets in need of a home; visit schools to talk to
children, as well as boy scouts and girl scouts
on safe techniques on approaching dogs and
cats and how to safely handle them.
Since PAL has no facility of its own, it uti-
lizes Pet Smart in Mt. Olive to feature its dogs
and cats awaiting adoption.
With kitten season approaching, PAL has
identified 10 volunteers who foster the kittens
until they can be adopted out.
PAL takes all dogs in their care to All
Paws in Hackettstown to get tested for heart
worm and lime disease; get spayed, neutered
and vaccinated; receive dentistry; and treated
for any illness or injury.
Dogs have come in with broken legs, dis-
eases such as lime, says Hurly. They are
given antibiotics. Cats too are given medica-
tion for viruses.
We believe animals should be fully vet-
ted, say Hurley, and new pet owners made
aware of any illness.
PAL hosts adoption days for cats every
Saturday at Pet Smart in Mt. Olive from 12
p.m. to 3 p.m. Since dogs get adopted so
quickly, adoption days are less frequent, she
says. Three dogs are in need of homes cur-
rently.
The adoption fee, which includes full
medical care, is $125 for cats and $200 for
dogs.
Go to www.palpets.org for more informa-
tion on adoption days, and pictures of dogs
and cats seeking a home.
PAL relies strictly on donations and
fundraisers to keep the organization going,
like the pasta dinner/tricky tray recently held
on May 3.
Its big fundraiser- PAL Pets Festival- is set
for June 8 at Hasting Square, with an adop-
tion day for kittens, sale items, and a groomer
on site - Cortneys Grooming Parlor,
http://www.cortneysgrooming.com- to talk
about techniques, clip nails and check ears.
PAL has a general meeting in the
Hackettstown Community Center on Main
Street the second Thursday of every month at
6:45pm. Anyone interested is welcome to
join.
We want people to realize that weve
been in Hackettstown for decades, says
Hurley. We are out there saving dogs and
cats that are abandoned and need our help.
Call 973-584-0095 for more information;
or go to the PAL facebook page at The Pet
Adoption League of Hackettstown NJ.
PAL...
staffed by special education teachers and
aids- is also offered through PEAK from
July 8 through Aug. 1. This years camp
will be held at Mt. View Elementary School
in Flanders offering socialization, arts and
crafts and physical education activities.
A music movement class- Moving and
Grooving, is a six week program offered
Sat., 10:30, at the Mt. Olive Senior Center.
Contact Vanessa at peakgroup.org for more
information.
PEAK has helped more than 100 kids
during the past six years in grades pre-
school through middle school. High school
students are invited to join, especially in
teen night, held monthly with a disc jockey,
snacks and dancing.
Breschard has seen first hand how
PEAK has made a difference in her sons
life as well as others.
Now 11, Breschards son will be attend-
ing the Mt. Olive Middle School next year.
He has been involved in PEAK since its
inception.
I see tremendous growth in his skills,
says Breschard, as I do with all the kids
that have started with us in the beginning.
Their skill set has improved from year to
year. They remember things and progress
throughout the season, and then they come
back year after year because of the strong
foundation from the instruction.
For her son who was involved in t-ball
and swimming, she says, It has helped his
endurance, flexibility, confidence when it
comes to swimming.
Currently, there are 15 kids involved in
t-ball, which runs through June.
We practice small groups, running
bases, hitting and understanding the game,
says Breschard. They do fielding and hit-
ting; none of our activities are competitive.
Its just about getting their kids moving and
not moving up to recreational teams, she
says, although weve had kids that moved
on to recreational t-ball and karate.
To keep costs down, PEAK holds an
annual fundraiser. The 6th Annual Gold
Fundraiser is set for June 26, from 8:30
a.m. to 2 p.m.- at Skyview Gold Club in
Sparta. Cost is $109 and includes golf,
lunch, tricky tray and auction. To register,
contact Margarita at peakgroup.org.
A fund The Ryan McConnell Fund-
was recently established to provide finan-
cial support to families who would like to
participate in PEAK activities but can not
afford it. Ryan McConnell, a nine-year old
Budd Lake boy who played t-ball for
PEAK, died on March 18. Go to
www.peakgroup.org to contribute.
While most of the kids in PEAK are
from Mt. Olive, there are some who travel
from Chester, Hackettstown, Succasunna
and even one from Boonton to go riding,
says Breschard.
Theres not as many towns that are so
inclusive with their recreational program
there, says Breschard. Mt. Olive is gener-
ally very accommodating. This makes it
easier. It gives them a place to go.
MO recreation does allow kids with spe-
cial needs to play on he recreational teams
but request that the parent shadow their
child, says Breschard.
But since we exist they might be better
off in our program, she says. Recreation
has steered kids to PEAK for involvement.
Parents involved with PEAK meet the
first Monday monthly at the Mt. Olive
Public Library to discuss upcoming events
and programs.
Involved all these years, Breschard says
I do it for all the other kids, for all those
people that have said thank you. If I can
continued from page 26 help them and keep things going, thats
enough for me. I do it for the one kid that
needs it and cant get it some place else.
Breschard encourages others to learn
more about PEAK and get involved.
We have a nice little community, says
Breschard. Always give your kid the bene-
fit of the doubt. Although sports may not be
for them, you learn other things. Its more
than learning how to hit a baseball. I feel we
have a lot to offer. They get PT; they get OT.
Its about having fun. They dont feel like
theyre learning but in turn they are, in a
relaxed atmosphere.
Come to a meeting. Come talk to us.
You never know what you can do for your
kid. Learn what we can do for your kid.

Meet the adorable Abby from Eleventh Hour Rescue. This
precious Hound pup is an older lady but still full of life and
lots of fun. She is 6 years old and was found wandering as
a stray with her sister Ellen. This means that we dont actu-
ally know her complete background and we dont even
know her real name, Abby is just her newly given name.
But what we do know is that Abby is a total sweetheart. She
is very friendly, very gentle, and a very kind girl. Typical
of the Hound breed, she uses her nose extensively on a long
walk or out in the play area. And also typical of the breed,
once she gets plenty of exercise, shes ready for a long nap.
One final note: shes not an early riser in the morning.
Sleeping in late is her specialtyand the Foster Mom says
this is a real plus! To read more about Abby, to see all of
our adoptable pets, or to see our upcoming events, please
visit: www.ehrdogs.org or call: 973-664-0865.
Meet Norman from Eleventh Hour Rescue. When a volun-
teer visited a high-kill shelter to see what dogs could be
pulled and saved from being euthanized, Norman stood out.
Heres what that volunteer had to say on that very fateful
day: He was in death's waiting room. Half hairless, emaci-
ated, deaf, with an anal tumor, he could barely walk, and
was tested as heartworm positive which if left untreated, is
deadly. There is a still lot of vetting to follow up with but
he needs to gain strength and body mass first before expen-
sive surgeries and heartworm treatment can be performed.
I found him lying in his own urine barely moving when I
took him home to be his foster Mom. Just a few short
weeks later, he is my constant side kick here at home.
Norman continues to show great progress and he is gaining
strength every day. He has a kind and gentle soul and that
loving look in his eyes says everything you need to know
about him. The next phase of his medical treatments will
begin soon. To read more about Norman, to see our upcom-
ing events, or to make a donation, please visit:
www.ehrdogs.org or call: 973-664-0865.
Meet Gloria Judd from Eleventh Hour Rescue. She is a
sweet and friendly, 2 year old pit bull mix and looking for
someone to share her life with. She is very affectionate and
wags her tail and whole body when she sees you. She is
housebroken and wonderful in the house. She loves to play
yet she can also be a couch potato as well. She loves every-
one she meets and deserves a home where someone will
love her back. And one more note from a temporary foster
homeshe prefers to sleep on the bed with you at night, so
you may want a king sized bed if you adopt this beautiful
girl. To read more about Gloria Judd, to see all of our
adoptable pets, to see out upcoming events, please visit:
www.ehrdogs.org or call: 973-664-0865.
B
ack in 1970, the Autosport Automotive Group was
founded by Gerald A. Lustig. His first store was a
Fiat dealership in Bound Brook, NJ. Over the years,
the group famous for its no pressure approach to car sales,
expanded to over 14 franchises, both domestic and import.
President Gerald A. Lustig states "An opportunity came
along for us to get back in the Fiat business after all of these
years. I have always thought their cars were pretty trick and
definitely a lot of fun to drive. I actually raced a few Fiats
in the SCCA over the years. We're excited to be the exclu-
sive Fiat dealer in the Morris County Area. Fiat of Morris
County, here on Route 53 in Denville is a new Fiat studio
and offers a unique vehicle with some incredible attributes."
Sales Manager Mike Olsen really appreciates the her-
itage and future of this unique marque and knows why it
should be a big success in this area. "I am so happy to be
part of the Autosport Automotive Group. It's exciting to be
part of a dealer group with owners that are as excited about
the brand as I am. This new studio location, right in the
middle of Denville, NJ is going to offer the community a
great car and incredible car buying experience."
Autosport Automotive Group VP Steven Lustig has a
great appreciation for the Fiat brand from both a marketing
perspective and the driving experience. When I first started
seeing the commercials and marketing materials for the Fiat
brand I said to myself, "Now there's a brand with a clear
vision and a brand that gets it. Mike asked me if I would
drive the Fiat Abarth Cabrio around a bit so we could get a
little exposure. What I didn't expect was the smile that car
put on my face the first time I took it out. In fact, I can't help
Fiat from Italy to Denville!
but smile still every time I drive it. Now I just have to make
sure my wife doesn't get to the garage before me in the
morning. The very emotion I felt driving the car was the
catalyst for our 'Rediscover' campaign."
Fiat of Morris County offers some incredible amenities.
Every new and pre-owned vehicle comes with an exclusive
complimentary maintenance program and for a limited
time, all new Fiats are being delivered with a free iPad,
courtesy of Fiat of Morris County. Steven Lustig says "We
have a great facility with an incredible team. These cars are
so much fun to drive! We invite everyone to come down,
have an espresso with us, and take one for a test drive and
try not to smile".
W
hen youre loading up the family for a big bar-
beque celebration, be sure to load up a variety of
freshly-made salads and deliciously decadent
brownies. Whether pasta salads, potato salads or even those
leafy greens, this side favorite is a perfect accompaniment
to juicy grilled burgers, brats and steaks. Because this
savory barbeque fare can bring out anyones sweet tooth,
dont forget to dish out the desserts. Adding your favorite
nuts, fruit and candy toppings to a rich, gooey brownie can
melt the hearts of guests as easily as the hot summer sun.
The best part about bringing a salad or brownie dessert
besides both being flavorful barbeque staples most
can be prepared the night before. This gives you more time
to focus on the important things, like grilling your next culi-
nary masterpiece and hanging out with your family.

E
ach year the National Park Service provides a special
day of activities at the Thomas Edison Factory and
Laboratories in West Orange, New Jersey. It is
called Edison Day. Admission is free on this day. The tra-
ditional programs for this event have been an organized
family day of activities that includes: ranger talks on a vari-
ety of topics, tour of Edisons Glenmont house and grounds,
Edison innovative cement garage with the family cars, and
film appreciation of Black Maria films (The West Orange
Black Maria was the first movie studio in the United
States). This years Edison Day will be held on Saturday,
June 1st.
Thomas Edisons West Orange location is a national
treasure of the original factory and lab buildings that hous-
es the tools, inventions, equipment, records, films and doc-
uments of Thomas Edison. These building structures alone
are museum artifacts of an industrial era in American histo-
ry. This makes the Edison factory and lab location a unique
place of being a museum inside of a museum.
The West Orange location was Thomas Edisons vision.
Edisons innovations outgrew his Menlo Park location. In
1887 he employed Henry Hudson Holly an architect to
design the largest laboratory ever built. The result was a six
building lab complex that took a construction crew of 200
men to build. Many historians believe that this New Jersey
laboratory was the largest in the world when it was erected.
It is estimated that half of Edisons 1,093 patents were con-
ceived at the West Orange location such as: his work with
motion pictures, patented improvements to the phonograph,
and experiments with cement, alkaline batteries and rubber
substitutes. It is the West Orange location that expanded
Edisons horizons from inventor to successful manufactur-
er, businessman, and marketer of his inventions to the pub-
lic. In West Orange, New Jersey Edison created new inven-
tions, manufactured them and then sold them to the world.
The other half of this NPS national treasure in West
Orange is Edisons home - the Glenmont Estate. It is a 29-
room Queen Anne-style home resting on 15 acres of land
and is only one mile away from Edisons labs and factories.
In 1886 the Glenmont Estate became Edisons wedding gift
to his second wife Mina Miller. Mina would open up the 30
seat dining room to invite dinner guests that ranged from
the Wright Brothers, Henry Ford, Charles Lindbergh, Helen
Keller and the King of Siam. The home served as confer-
ence center besides a family residence since they extensive-
ly entertained their illustrious guests in their home. All of
Edison familys original home furnishing have remained
intact and in their exact rooms when Thomas and Mina
lived there.
The Glenmont estate is the birth place of New Jerseys
42nd Governor - Charles Edison. He was the son of
Thomas and Mina Edison. Their daughter Madeleine mar-
ried John Eyre Sloane in the Drawing Room of the
Glenmont home on June 17, 1914, a marriage that would
bear the only grandchildren to Thomas Edison. The

hen David H. McConnell found-
ed AVON in 1886, it was known
as the California Perfume
Company, and he purposely recruited
female sales Representatives because he
believed they had a natural ability to net-
work with and market to other women, and
they also had a passion for his products. At
a time of limited employment options for
women, the Avon earnings opportunity was
a revolutionary concept, and it marked the
start of the company's long and rich history
of empowering women around the globe.
AVON has been around now for over
125 years and today is not David H.
McConnells AVON of yesterday, and its
not your Grandmothers AVON with door-
bell-ringing AVON Ladies announcing
AVON Calling. AVONs entrance into
the world of E-Commerce has given its
sales representatives yet another way of
introducing people to AVON products.
Women today are still networking and
marketing to other women , introducing
them to AVON products and the AVON
earnings Opportunity. However, AVONs
product line has continued to grow and
includes not only fragrances for both
women & men and a full line of make-up
products; but also a comprehensive array of
skincare and bath & body products, as well
as Hair Care items, jewelry, watches, shoes
& clothing, handbags & accessories,
Kitchen & Houseware items, the trendy
.mark fashion boutique items, along with
its new TinyTillia Baby Line.
