Association (SCA) of Chester M. Stephens Elementary

largest fundraiser in school history, where close to 1,500

Greenbaum and fifth grade students Robert Hermann and
Alexa Mangone, competed against the Wizards. The
Wizards won 73-69.
SCA President Jackie Richardson and fifth grade special education teacher Dani Marangon spearheaded the
program.
We were very pleased, Richardson said. We didnt
know what to expect being this was the first time we did
something like this.
This wasnt a typical basketball game with set plays,

he Mt. Olive Junior Wrestling
Association had an epic season this
year with 13 players qualifying for
states and several competing in the finals.
With 100 members strong ages five
(kindergarten) to 14 (eighth grade), Mo
Junior Wrestling Association competed
from Nov. 10 until states, which was held
March 14 and 15 at the Sun National Bank
Center in Trenton.
The Mt. Olive Junior Wrestling
Association had a fantastic year, says John
Bienus, club president and head coach.
After struggling through several years with
very few varsity team wins, the team finished 12-2 in our K-8 league and we won the
North West Jersey Wrestling League
Tournament.
An unprecedented 13 Mt. Olive Youth
Wrestlers qualified for the USAWNJ State
Tournament, he says. In order to qualify,
the wrestler had to compete and place in the
top three in one of eight state wide tournaments comprised of the best youth wrestlers
in NJ. Mt. Olive had six wrestlers place in
the top six in their respective divisions. We
are very proud of our kids.

ental implants are one of the most amazing technologies of the 21st century that provide people
with a new lease on life. Whether a person is
missing one tooth, multiple teeth, live in constant pain
with infected teeth, or have dentures that move, hurt, or
are just annoying, consideration should be given to what
these little innovations can do to turn your life around!
Dental implants are cylinders, traditionally made
from titanium, that are placed into the jawbone. Teeth
are built on top of them, and there are many configurations. The most typical are 1. A single tooth, 2. Multiple
permanent teeth (a bridge), 3. Stabilize dentures (which
are removable), and 4. Fixed-detachable, which is discussed below.
Fixed-detachable implant teeth are extremely popular today. The fixed refers to the fact you dont take
them in-and-out of your mouth, and the detachable
refers to the ability of your dentist being able to remove
them for maintenance & repairs. They have become
overwhelmingly popular for many reasons: 1. They
have significantly brought down the cost of traditional
implant procedures, 2. The need for major bone grafting
procedures has been reduced or eliminated, 3. The overall procedure time has been decreased, 4. They allow
patients to eliminate the endless cycle of cavities, fillings, root canals, crowns, and bridges.

t. Olive juniors have gone full
rainbow and are returning to
Chester M. Stephens in Budd
Lake this month to participate in the 2015
Kindness Tour.
It was eight years ago, when these high
school students helped originate the concept
of the Rainbow Connection at CMS, and
as they get ready for their last year in the district they will return on Fri., April 24, to
meet with second grade students to spread
some tips on kindness and wisdom they
have gained through their education experience in Mt. Olive.
A Google Hangout via the internet has
also been set up so the message shared by
these nine juniors will go beyond the walls
of CMS, reaching anyone who tunes in
worldwide. Go to: http://bit.ly/cms_kindness at 2:30 p.m. on Fri., April 24, to tune in
to see and hear the live presentation being
shared with second graders.
We are inviting the outside world and
other classrooms to learn how much
Kindness Matters throughout our school
years by hanging out with us, says Ann
Scotland, CMS second grade teacher and
Rainbow Connection leader. Clearly, our
message of kindness can be extended out
into the world through the use of Google
Hangout. It is very exciting to know that our
message can reach a variety of classroomspossibly even outside of the state of NJ.
Scotland says, We are hoping that a
variety of classrooms will tune in. We feel
that the lesson of kindness and what it can
offer needs to be mastered across the globe!
We can all profit from a refresher course
from time to time. The benefit could change
the world in a beautiful way. Children are
our future and how they move forward will
define the hope and promise of tomorrow.
The high schoolers who have been invited to participate were in Scotlands looping
class when they were in second and third
grade. It was during that time when they
came up with the motto Rainbow
Connection and joined their classmates as
co-authors of "Treasures of a Teachers
Heart~ Learning to Change the World With
Our Own Two Hands."
Scotland says I thought it would be nice
for those students to see how powerful their
voice has become throughout the halls of
CMS and even out in the community.
Kindness Matters has been our highlighted
motto since they created attention to it with
Rainbow Connections.

Director of Mt. Olive Twp., Frank
Wilpert Snr. of Jefferson plans to
retire July 1.
Whether he is issuing a dog license, marriage, birth or death certificates, or dealing
with animal control or sanitary issues,
Wilpert is always busy and has been an

grandfather of five. Its time for me to make
a change and move on.

ust one week until the
Mt. Olive Exercise
Biggest Losers Contest
ends, but there is one contestant so far ahead of the
game she is breaking all
records in contest history.
Maria Donovan, 41, of
Flanders has lost 36 pounds
as of press time since the
sixth annual big loser contest began on Jan. 3. The 16
week competition ends
April 25 as the eight contestants are still going
strong with exercise and
healthier eating through the
Mt. Olive Recreation program.
Donovans energy, commitment to the program and
results from just six weeks
has been quite inspirational.
I am so excited about
it, says Laura Hars of
Budd Lake, head instructor
of the exercise program.
Seven weeks into the contest, she had already lost
more weight than anyone
ever has in the last six
years. The record high for
16 weeks was 20 pounds.
She has been a role
model to many in the class
and has proven even a mom
with small kids can make
the commitment to an exercise program and a diet,
says Hars. There was one
period where her husband
traveled for two weeks and
she still managed to make it
to all the classes.
Hars says Maria has
been faithful to both her
diet- she watches her calories and keeps a food journal- and she generally
comes to six classes a week
and works extremely hard
when she is in the class.
As a new resident to the
area, Donovan moved from
Totowa with her family this
past July. With the stress of
moving, especially as a

s one of the oldest and largest of the
Habitat for Humanities in New
Jersey, the Morris affiliation has
made great strides in building and providing
homes to many in the local area.
The Morris Habitat for Humanity is celebrating its 30th anniversary this year since
its inception in Oct. 1985. More than 300
people were expected to attend the anniversary gala on Sat., Feb. 28, at Meadow Wood
Manor in Randolph.
The Morris Habitat for Humanity
Anniversary Committee is planning other
events throughout the year to celebrate this
milestone, including at Boy Scouts
Jamboree in October. About 5,000 boy
scouts are invited to Liberty State Park in
NY, to frame houses to be used for future
buildings by the habitat. The educational
event to teach others how to build house
frames is open to the public.
It was amazing to realize just how much
has been accomplished, stated Blair
Schleicher Bravo of Mountain Lakes,
Morris Habitats chief executive officer,
and we are committed to continue to build
on the solid foundation our founders have
provided.
As stated in a recent press release, From
small but determined beginnings, the affiliate has grown and prospered thanks to the
generosity of local corporations, municipalities, individual donors and thousands of
volunteers.
Bravo said, It is overwhelming at times
to see how all these projects come together.
It takes so many people putting their talents
to work and we are always pleased and
thrilled with the results.
Morris Habitat for Humanity started in
Oct. 1985 by four leaders of various churches in Morristown who heard about Habitat
for Humanity International, which had been
founded nine years earlier in 1976.
Habitat for Humanity is a nonprofit, ecumenical Christian ministry that builds
homes for people in need. It has grown to
1,500 local affiliates in the U.S. and 100
national organizations in 90 countries in the
world. More than one million families, representing five million people, have found
improved living conditions through Habitat
for Humanity.
The founders, Millard and Linda Fuller- a
married couple from Alabama- had organized a walk in 1984 with former U.S.
President Jimmy Carter- from Maine to
Atlanta, stopping in New York, to gain visibility and spark interest in the habitat. The
sell their home, it can only be sold to another affordable income household.
However they are doing it, their process
is working.
We never had a foreclosure in our history, says Bravo.
The program has lowered their monthly
payments from $1,500 to $2,100 in rental
fees to $500, $800 or $1,000 (on the high
end) mortgage fee, she says. This savings
has allowed parents to go back to school and
improve their job opportunities, pay for educontinued on next page

cational expenses for their kids, save for a
rainy day, lower their credit cards and save
for their retirement.
Their clients are so grateful for this
opportunity that many of them come back
and volunteer or donate to the habitat, she
says.
More than 11,000 volunteers from
groups, businesses, congregations and
schools have come out on site visits to help
build these homes through the Morris
Habitat for Humanity, she says. It has about
300 regular volunteers that help out on advisory boards, ReStore and construction sites.
About 50 habitat faithful volunteers,
made up of mostly retired men and women,
rarely miss a build. It takes 1,500 volunteers
on average to build one home, she adds,
with nine to 12 months to build a single family home; 18 months to two years for a
duplex or larger.
We are always looking for single volunteers, she says, but must be older than 16 to
be under an active homesite. Those under 16
are allowed to come out and help plant or
visit after a home is built.
We use 90 percent of volunteer labor
and its a teaching program, she says,
which is why their building process takes

icholas Mathus of Flanders has found his niche, and
how ironic that his passion for history stems from his
very own past.
Determined to share history with others and preserve our
nations past, Nick follows in the footsteps of his father and
grandfather (also named Nick) whose love for history is
much the same. Since he was three years old, Nick has visited more than 80 historic sites and videotaped their significance, all with the help from his father Glenn Mathus.
The fourteen year old is known as Nick The History
Kid, and he has teamed up his father, Glenn, to produce historical videos. An eighth grader at The PECK School in
Morristown, Nicks main goal is to show his peers how fun
and interesting history is and why sites should be preserved.
History is fun and should be preserved for future generations, says Nick. If we didnt have history we wouldnt
be here today. Its our nations past of how we got here
today. If we dont preserve it, its going to be destroyed.
His motto: New Jersey: from the Revolutionary War to
the Jersey Shore both History and Fun awaits You! Most of
his videos cover NJs historical sites, but also cover treasures
throughout the United States when vacationing or traveling
for sports.
When we go to swim or track we find historical places,
says Glenn, like Motown, Key West-Florida, Henry Ford
Museum in Michigan
Although Nick began his role four years ago as Nick The
History Kid and posting historical videos online, his first
video dates back to when he was three years old at
Gettysburg. In that video, Glenn recalls Nick saying Lets
Go Soldierand its been history ever since.
Thats how far it goes back, his love for history, says
Glenn. My dad passed it onto to him. My dad used to take
me all over in 1965. He loved history too; he was a big
George Washington man and Civil War. I grew up with what
my dad liked.
With 80 videos so far, Nicks footage lasts anywhere
between four to fifteen minutes, provide historical details of
the location with some humor to keep the viewers interest.
His visits have him flying an airplane and a helicopter,
scuba diving, high diving at the end of the West Point video,
and riding one of the oldest roller coasters.
For the video filmed at the Henry Ford Museum in
Dearborn, Michigan, Nick provides a brief history of the
helicopter and the museum, where the first successful helicopter is preserved, and then flies a helicopter.
Last year, they traveled everywhere from Detroit where
we are the only video on YouTube that takes you inside
Motowns Historic Studio A, and to the Confederate White
House in Richmond, VA., says Glenn.
His video on the Charles Lindbergh Crime of the Century
Video took two months to complete as they traveled to four
different cities to tell the whole story. They first went to
Washington, DC, showing the Spirit of Saint Louis which
was the high point of Lindberghs life.
Next, they visited the Lindbergh Estate in East Amwell
where Nick got special permission to film inside the babys
nursery, the scene of the 1932 kidnapping.
We filmed in the Lindbergh Babies nursery and recreated the leaving of the ransom note on the window sill,
explains Glenn. In 1935 Lindbergh gifted the estate to the
State of NJ, and it is now a juvenile state correctional facili-

lans for Memorial Day in Mt. Olive
are underway for Mon., May 25, at
Turkey Brook Park in Budd Lake.
Instead of a Memorial Day Parade and
Remembrance Ceremony- the path taken
for the past 30 years in town- organizers
have planned a Memorial Day Ceremony
and Patriots in the Park Exhibition, from
9:30 a.m. to noon. Vendors are being
sought to run educational booths, as well
as performers to entertain.
Though the parade will no longer be a
part of Mt. Olives Memorial Day Events,
we have embraced the change as an
opportunity to expand on the true meaning of this monumental day, says Charlie
Urhmann, originator/founder of the All
Veterans Memorial at Turkey Brook
Park.
In lieu of the parade, the AVM has
extended the ceremony to include patriotic exhibits that exemplifies our freedom
and the sacrifice of maintaining such liberties. We would like to extend an open

ost kids who celebrate Passover
know that matza is a flat unleavened bread that comes out of a
box and they eat it for eight days.
But some kids last month got the inside
scoop of how the traditional bread is prepared from stalks of wheat, to rolling out
the dough, marking holes in each wafer
and taking the finished piece right from the
oven. About 30 kids, ages three to twelve,
from the surrounding area attended a
Model Matza Bakery at the Madison Area
YMCA on Sun., March 15, from 11 a.m. to
1 p.m.
The event was sponsored by the Chabad
of Southeast Morris County in Madison.
Its first year hosting, the chabad decided to
invite the children throughout the area,
even outside its membership. Kids came as
far west as Hackettstown.
We opened it up to northern New
Jersey communities, says Rabbi Shalom
Lubin of the southeast chabad.
Every year we always talk about
Passover, and get the kids involved in arts
and crafts and a mock Seder, says Lubin.
But getting the kids involved in the handson-process -The behind the scenes preparation for the most important part of the
Seder- the matza- brings even greater
meaning to the holiday, which lasted from
the first Seder night Fri., April 3, until Sat.
April 11.
Passover is celebrated as a commemoration of the liberation of Jewish freedom
from slavery in Egypt. The matza, is the
unleavened bread the Jewish people ate in
their haste to leave Egypt based on the
story of the Exodus.
This was a hands-on experience on
how matza is made, says Lubin.
Participants got to make handmade matza.
To set up the factory, Lubin had to bring
in an oven, all the supplies, a wheat
grinder. The chabad teamed up with Living
Legacy in Livingston, a non profit organization that provides a great resource for
creative, stimulating programming in
Jewish education. Living Legacy brought
in the matza bakery, the materials and
ingredients.
We booked this a year in advance,
adds Aharona Lubin, program director of
the chabad and Lubins wife. We run preholiday programming every year, but this
year we wanted to do something different. We are always looking to growing.

Boyds three graphic design classes randomly chose a book to work on.
In our graphic arts program, we try to be
as authentic as possible, said Boyd. If the
students were working for a company or
freelancing, this is the type of project they
would be given. It meshes creativity with the
practical since they had to include elements
such as bar codes, prices, summaries, and
publisher logos.
Just as in real life, each young graphic
artist had to get a sense of the tone, theme,
and content of the chosen book in order to
develop an appropriate approach. From
there it was research, inspiration, and experimentation.
Kelly Mellusi, for example, researched
Africa and African textile patterns for her
cover for The Ear, the Eye, and the Arm, a
novel set in Zimbabwe. Chris Somerville
descended into the lower level of MOHS to
the robotics lab for his redesign of the I,
Robot cover. Chris jacket for the seminal
sci-fi anthology featured a photograph of the
