Walkers Give Back to Support Local Farmers Family
By Cheryl Conway lose to 200 people participated in a walkathon last month to raise money for a Budd Lake family trying to stay on its feet after losing one of its members. Roy Senior Hildebrandtowner of Iona Farms on Route 46 in Budd Lakedied on Aug. 11 from Metastatic Melanoma- a form of cancer passed down to him genetically. He was 48-years old, leaving behind his wife and six children to now maintain his 60-acre farm "inherited to him from family generations Always giving to the community, whether by donating hay bales or flowers to local schools, tricky trays and the scouts, the community felt it was their time to give back to him. It was our time to give back to him, says Sue Steinhardt, English teacher at Mt. Olive High School and head field hockey coach. Theyve given so much to the community. They are kind, good genuine people. To know them, they are such good people. They are so humble that everyone wants to help.
Hunter Hildebrant, Linda Hunter, Michele Hildebrant, Sue Steinhardt, and Aspen Hildebrant.
It was in Aug. 2010, when Roy Senior was diagnosed with cancer. He died two years later. He was always very giving to the high schools, from Hackettstown to Mt. Olive, donating anything they needed, says his wife, Michele Hildebrandt. He would give to tricky trays or homecoming, such as straw and corn stalks. He would donate to the boy scouts, girl scouts, and 4-H and give food to Northwest Cap in Morris County, such as eggplant or any extra vegetables or fruits he would have during harvest time, she says. It was 10 years ago when Steinhardt met
the Hildebrandt family when she became the field hockey coach to Bailey, the oldest of the six kids. She later coached her sister, Grae, in softball, eventually befriending the entire Hildebrandt family. When I first met Bailey, shes just a wonderful human being, says Steinhardt, and when I met Grae, she was just as wonderful. When some of the teachers learned about Hildebrandts death they came up with the idea for the walkathon. Any teacher said whatever I could do, I will do, says Steinhardt.

Page 6, October 2012, Tell Them You Saw It In The Mt. Olive News council meeting which occurred on October 2, 2012, a lengthy discussion occurred regarding that very topic. I invite you all to go to the Township website and review the video from the meeting to better educate yourself as to issues which you need to be aware of on this subject. It is a fact that many parts of Mount Olive are not and may never be serviced by public water due to the costs involved, governmental restrictions and/or topographic limitations. Anyone with a property serviced by well water, most likely does not have public water to fight fires--that is true even though there may be hydrants on your street or in your neighborhood. You should be aware of the fact that any hydrant painted black is off line and not connected to a water supply. Those hydrants were installed by developers in the event that water was extended into those areas of town. Both the Budd Lake and Flanders Fire Departments are aware of which areas of Town are serviced by public water and which are not. Over the years, the Township has equipped the Fire Departments with the appropriate equipment for our protection. As we learned at the last council meeting, the Budd Lake Fire Department explained that hydrants are not the most preferable water source for fighting fires due to diminished water pressure. You should take comfort in the fact that the Township Fire Departments have been provided with the best possible equipment to protect the town and our property. In addition, the Fire Departments in connection with neighboring municipalities have adopted procedures to insure that an adequate water supply is available to deal with any situation which may arise. Please feel free to contact your local fire departments with any questions or concerns you may have. Lastly, I want to thank all of those, both from in Town and from outside Town, who respond to emergencies in Mount Olive when those emergencies arise. Sincerely, Rob Greenbaum Mayor, Mt. Olive Township
October being fire prevention awareness month, as well as the occurrence of a recent structure fire in Budd Lake, makes this an opportune time to discuss the reality of fighting fires in Mount Olive. At the

New Animal Control Officer On The Loose

animal control issues as a fill-in for Cirone when he has been on vacation or out sick. Frank has worked as one of my nighttime part-timers for years, says Cirone. Hes a perfect fit for this job. He knows the town and they know him. Cirone, meanwhile, says its time to move on to other things. He will continue in his work as an instructor at six animal control academies at colleges throughout New Jersey, and teaching in wild-land firefighting and incident command system. Nelson is looking forward to his new position. Ive always loved animals, says Nelson. I like working with animals. Every time I get a chance to see any wildlife, I enjoy that. I enjoy helping people with wildlife or domestic animals. As the animal control officer, Nelson will be in charge of organizing a cat and dog census; respond to animal complaints; and respond to animal cruelty complaints. The animal control officer looks out for the welfare of animals and enforces the laws regarding animal welfare, says Nelson. Many of the animal complaints in Mt. Olive deal with nuisance complaints, such as raccoon in the garbage or deer in the garden. As far as dealing with calls that involve black bear, foxes, raccoons, skunk, deer and woodchucks, Nelson says he has to follow federal law and state guidelines. How Nelson deals with animal control issues varies. Every case, every situation is different, he says. A lot has to do with education; what they [the animal owner] should be doing. A lot of times we spend time talking to the person about the complaint. We talk to them about what they should do and should not do. Thats been the approach here, he says.
By Cheryl Conway s the new Mt Olive Township animal control officer readying to take over the reigns, Frank Nelson of Budd Lake hopes to dispel the negative view that his job title brings. Told in September by a selection committee that he was chosen for the position, Nelson will replace William Cirone in November. Cirone, who is retiring Nov. 30, has been the animal control officer in Mt. Olive for the past 27 years. Having to respond to animal complaints or deal with animal cruelty, the animal control officer can sometimes be viewed in a negative light. Nelsons goal will be to show people that his job is to help rather than harm in situations involving animals. In general my biggest challenge is theres a negative connection to animal control, says Nelson. Most think were going to impound their dog. Thats a misconception. The biggest challenge is to convince people we are here to help them. Nelson, who has worked as a laborer for the Mt. Olive DPW Building and Grounds department for the past 12 years, has also worked part-time as an assistant to the animal control officer since 2004. He has been on call nights and weekends dealing with
Most of the time, its just going to be about educating someone. A lot of people dont understand why they cant let their dog off their leash. Its for the safety of the animal and for the people around them. Some dont understand the curb law, says Nelson. They can only defecate in between the curb, meaning the street area not on the sidewalk or someone elses lawn. You also have to clean it up. Nelson says when he starts in his new continued on next page
Tell Them You Saw It In The Mt. Olive News, October 2012, Page 9 continued from previous page position, Im not looking to change a whole lot right away. I want to make things better. Nelson would like to start a Facebook page to use as a dialogue or place for reference to ask the animal control officer or other animal owners questions, and post photographs of their animals. Im hoping it to be a clearing house to information for them, he says about his
New Animal Control Officer...

Facebook page idea. If you have a pet hopefully you love animals and this will be a great place to share with others. One of Nelsons greatest suggestions is if pet owners are going to microchip their pet, they need to make sure it is registered with a database. If I pick up a stray dog, it makes it hard to return the animal, says Nelson. A microchip does not a need a license, he says, but it is more helpful if pet-owners use
the method of licensing their pet on their collar. They need to have a licensed tag on their collar. Nothing will get their pet home faster. All I have to do is read a tag number, look it up on the database and return it to them. As far as dealing with issues such as the TNR Project, an effort to Trap-NeuterReturn in order to manage the feral cat population in Mt. Olive Nelson says he is hoping to work with them to accomplish our shared goals. In dealing with nuisance cat complaints, the animal control officer holds the cat for seven days and then euthanizes it. The township doesnt have the resources to keep the cat forever, he says. Through the TNR project, though, vol-
unteers are working to manage the cat population through outreach, trapping, transport, post-operative care, long-term oversight of cats and caregivers, and fostering and adoptions. They arrange to have cats neutered, vaccinated against rabies and distemper, ear tipped for identification and micro-chipped. I hope to be working with those in charge of TNR, says Nelson. TNR, It sounds like it could succeed. It requires a lot of effort. I havent seen what the results are. Whatever we do, if it doesnt have the public support, its not going to be necessarily successful. I want to help them make it successful. For any questions or concerns, call 973691-0900, ext. 7334.

Letter to Mt. Olive Residents

this year to rebuild the community feel within Mt. Olive. In April, the runners came out in full force and participated in the Mayors 5K race. In June, the Inaugural Mt. Olive Gala and silent auction was held at Flanders Valley Catering, with the proceeds benefitting the Budd Lake Fire Department, Budd Lake First Aid & Rescue Squad, Flanders Fire and Rescue, and the Mt. Olive Police Department. This past July thousands of residents came out saw the return of the Mt. Olive Community Week, Carnival, and fireworks show. We also cant forget about some of the annual events that took place, such as the Pirate and Fairy Festival, Mt. Olive Power Wheels Race, The Memorial Day Parade, and the Seniors Summer Picnic. Some upcoming new developments we are all looking forward to are the Tour De Mount Olive which combines 3 events for bicycling enthusiasts of all ages on September 30th. Mt. Olive will also be introducing a mud run called Raiders of the Lost Park which will be held in November. Lets hope everyone gets their hands dirty for this one! We are also looking to expand our tot lot at Turkey Brook Park. Speaking of Turkey Brook Park, have you seen the new turf soccer field? WOW!! As a father with young children, Im very excited knowing that Mt. Olive is gaining momentum and offering many events for our community of all ages to participate in. As you know, I am considered one of the freshman councilman, serving the community. Ive spent much of this past year absorbing as much as I can. I am an active member of the Mt. Olive Pride Committee. Im also the Councils liaison to the Mt. Olive Public Library, the Mt. Olive Open Space
Tell Them You Saw It In The Mt. Olive News, October 2012, Page 11 Committee, and the Lake and Environmental Group. One thing that really stands out to me is how hard everyone involved in our municipality works for the betterment of the residents and businesses. The Mt. Olive Police Department, and the volunteers involved in the Fire and Rescue Squad, have all gone above and beyond providing safety, as well as responding immediately in our times of need, all by doing more with less. The DPW does an outstanding job at keeping our Township clean, and public areas and parks well manicured and safe. The Finance department does an excellent job controlling the budgets expenditures, administering the Townships Debt and cash management, all while practicing fiscal responsibility which are reflected in the Townships AA3 bond rating. Mayor Greenbaum and the Townships Business Administrator, Sean Canning have worked feverishly looking at new ideas to improve the services we provide to the Township. For example we have initiated a new online system for residents to log in service requests such as potholes, down trees, or rabid animals. We are also in the beginning stages of introducing a new process which will automate our trash collection. Lets not forget about all those in the Municipal Building that day in and day out continue to provide the necessary tasks to go above and beyond for the residents of Mt. Olive. There is certainly a lot going on upfront, and behind the scenes that make Mt. Olive one of the best places to live and do business in Morris County. As we approach the end of the year, I wish everyone a Happy and Healthy end of the year, and look forward to an exciting 2013! John Ferrante, Councilman jferrante@mtolivetwp.org

Olive for generations. Participants paid $10 to enter; teams were allowed to enter as a group asking contributors to give $1 for every lap walked. Some local businesses donated gift cards and gift certificates to be handed out as prizes at the benefit to those who walked the most laps, says Steinhardt. To help the family even more, a concert by the Quinby Mountain Band is tentively scheduled for December or January. All proceeds will go to helping the family. Im overwhelmed with the kindness

they have shown me, says Michele Hildebrandt. The kindness to help this family, the school, the teachers, the middle school, even the elementary school, its just amazing. The people in the community, they just show up. They ask me if they can do anything to help. Ashley Farms in Succasunna donated a truck load of pumpkins for her to sell at the farm. Michele needs to buy them every year since she does not grow them on her farm. Michele, 46, works full-time as a technician in the brain injury unit at Kessler Institute for Rehabilitation in Chester. Running the farm and providing for six kids can be quite an undertaking. To make matters worse, what I didnt knowthere was a lien on the farm, says Michele. Roy Senior, failed to pay properThe Landing Market or contact Michael Mangano 973-398-7267.

ty taxes for one quarter. He didnt share the burdens of the farm with me. In addition, he had life insurance, but prior to his sickness, he let the policy go. Her oldest son, Roy, who is a senior at MOHS, in a work study program at school, has stepped up to the plate, says Michele. He wants the farm. Its a lot on a 17-year old. When he gets home, he works on the farm, says Steinhardt. His goal is to take over the farm. Before his father passed away, he said to his son, Roy, Its time to get to work. Bailey, the oldest and a sophomore at the University of New Haven, has taken a leave of absence since her father died to be home for her mom; Grae is in her first year at County College of Morris; Aspen and Hunter are twins and are sophomores at MOHS; and Forrest, is an eighth grader at Mt. Olive Middle School. Located on 56 acres, Iona Farms dates back four generations since the 1800s. It was originally a berry farm and was converted to vegetables. The farm provides a variety of tomatoes, eggplant, peppers, beans and lettuce, as well as seasonal produce like pumpkins, Christmas trees, wreaths and mums. Roy Senior was most proud of his involvement with Farmers Markets for
low-income areas. He is the founder of the Farmers Market in Crown Heights, NY, says Steinhardt. He made it a point to drive out there with his farmers market, she says. He also went to Bayonne, Caldwell, Hawthorne and Little Falls. Michele promised her husband they wouldnt lose it, says Steinhardt. They dont want to lose their farm and thats what they are in the danger of happening. Steinhardt and some other teachers have had at least two work days at the farm so far cleaning out the greenhouse. Volunteers from the field hockey and softball teams, parents and students have volunteered to help. Everyones done so much for me, says Michele. I couldnt possibly ask for another thing. We are hanging in there. Iona Farms is opened Monday through Saturday, from 9 a.m. to 6 p.m.; Sundays, 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. Volunteers are always welcome to help out at the farm. Michele wont ask for help, says Steinhardt. We just go. Contact Sue at smithsue@embarqmail.com or hunterl29@yahoo.com for more information.

Cms Kids Lending A Supporting Hand For Fight Agsainst Cancer
orking for a noble cause is like worshiping the Almighty and thanking who contributed in the noble cause is thanking God. It was great feeling to thank Chester M. Stephens Elementary School for planting such a noble principle in their pupils by virtue of which, its 4th graders girls have utilized their summer time for raising funds and lend their support in fighting against the Cancer. These amazing girls (Saanya, Soumya, Maneera, Fizah and Shreya) had
come forward and raised funds for fighting the cancer via selling lemonade on three separate events at Wood field Recreational Center, Kumon Center and Sam's Club in Mount Olive, NJ. They had donated their all collection amounting to $350 to St. Jude Children's Research Hospital. We also thank these Organizations(Woodfield Community, Kumon Center and Sam's Club) and people of Mount Olive township for their participation and appreciation of these kids.

The Silver Award is bestowed upon Cadette Girl Scouts who have completed 50 hours of service towards their specific projects. Some honorees this year developed programs for speaking to younger children about bullying, self esteem using several media outlets. Others completed river clean
ups and helped Girl Scouts in other communities appreciate more about the scouting experience.

Scare Off the Cavity Creeps at Cohen and Schwartz Dental

as well. Seal Out Those Cavity Creeps This Halloween! At Cohen and Schwartz Dental, sealants can be applied quickly, easily and comfortably without the need for drilling or the removal of tooth structure. The sealant is painted onto the tooth to form a protective shield, and bonds into the pits and grooves of the chewing surfaces, acting as a barrier to protect enamel from harmful plaque. Sealants can last for several years and can be reapplied as necessary. A Healthy Smile Calls for Good Dental Hygiene Sealants are only one part of preventive dental care and should not replace good oral hygiene. Instead, sealants preserve the teeth, adding additional protection to prevent decay and reducing the likelihood for extensive dental procedures later on. In addition to sealants, a comprehensive dental program should include twice-daily brushing, flossing, fluoride, healthy food choices and regular visits to your dental office.
By Dr Steven Schwartz dental sealant is a clear, plastic coating that is bonded to the vulnerable chewing surfaces of the back teeth where decay most often occurs. These protective sealants cover the tooth surface to "seal out" food and plaque, thus reducing the risk of decay. The probability of developing decay begins early in life, so children and teenagers are obvious candidates for dental sealants during their most cavity-prone years. But that doesn't mean adults at risk for tooth decay can't benefit from sealants
Even if you brush and floss carefully, it can be very difficult- and even impossibleto remove food and bacteria buildup from the tiny crevices on certain teeth, which puts you at risk for tooth decay. Ask us about dental sealants at your next appointment. Combined with good dental hygiene, you can feel more confident that your smile is protected from the harmful plaque that causes cavities.

By Cheryl Conway hree police officers recently promoted to sergeants of the Mt. Olive Police Department after an intense application process are excited to serve in their new roles. The new sergeants were sworn in on Tuesday night, Sept. 18, at the Mt. Olive Township Council meeting by Mayor Rob Greenbaum. They are Detective Sergeant Lou Sanchez, Sergeant Mark Carlstrom and Sergeant Carl Mase. With 24 applicants, the selection process was tough requiring officers to take written and oral examinations and be interviewed by a panel of officers, captain and police chief. Each of these men is eager and prepared to serve Mt. Olive Township, says Police Chief Mark Spitzer. They were chosen from some great competition and I know they are each more than qualified to handle the duties and responsibilities. The positions were available because our former Traffic Sergeant Scott Van Ness retired at the end of June; Patrol Division Sergeant Mike Novak retired at the end of August; and Detective Sergeant John Walker is retiring at the end of September, says Spitzer. Captain Donald Gardner is retiring at the end of November and we expect another retirement in early 2013. To be promoted to sergeant on the MOPD, candidates must successfully pass a written examination given by the New Jersey State Association of Chiefs of Police (NJSACOP). After successfully passing the written test, candidates are interviewed by a panel of police officers above the rank of sergeant and are given an oral examination to

determine knowledge of case law, New Jersey Criminal Law, New Jersey Attorney General Guidelines, Morris County Prosecutor Guidelines and Mt. Olive Township Rules and Regulations and Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs), says Spitzer. The most successful candidates are then interviewed by the chief of police and captain for final selection. Residents of the township will likely recognize these three men as worthy of promotion, says Spitzer. Anyone who knows them would agree they are capable, ethical, professional and expert in their daily performance. I am excited for them and know they will continue to be leaders in our organization. With the recent and upcoming retirements, Spitzer says it is important to maintain the level of supervision on the MOPD especially with increased service calls. Over the last few years our police force has been reduced by about 14 percent, we are down from 55 to 48 officers, but our calls for service continue to creep up. This level of supervision is important and Mayor Greenbaum has been supportive of about keeping our command structure in tact. There are currently nine sergeants on the MOPD. To qualify, candidates must have at least three years of service as a police officer in Mt. Olive before interviewing for the open position. In this last process approximately 24 officers initially applied. The MOPD department begins at the line level with the rank of police officer We currently have approximately seven officers who continued on next page

continued from previous page serve in the absence of a sergeant and because they sometimes serve in a supervisory capacity they are designated as corporals, says Spitzer. The next rank is sergeant, which are the first officially established rank and are the line level of supervision at the MOPD. Each sergeant is expected to supervise about five to seven patrol officers, but less for specialized divisions. The next rank is lieutenant. At MOPD, there is an investigations division lieutenant, a support services division lieutenant, a communications and records division lieutenant, and a patrol division lieutenant. The next rank is captain, in which MOPD has one. The final rank is chief of police. Sergeant Sanchez will take over Sergeant Walkers role and will lead in the investigations division, which suits him well since he has served for many years as a detective already, says Spitzer. Sergeants Carlstrom and Mase will serve in the patrol division, each running their own squad of officers. The three new MOPD sergeants are looking forward to serving in their new roles and facing new challenges. After serving in the Patrol Division for past 15 years, Carlstrom was ready to take on more of a supervisory role. I spent approximately nine years as a
patrolman where I had many experiences, gained much knowledge, and improved on many police skills, explains Carlstrom. From there I was assigned as a corporal on a patrol squad where I got a taste of supervision. As a corporal I assisted the sergeant and was the "acting" sergeant when the sergeant was absent. I quickly began to enjoy the leadership and supervision aspect of the job so when the sergeants test was announced it was a no brainer. His reaction of being selected was one of relief and excitement, he says. The testing and interview process was extremely stressful for me and my family. It included lots of studying in the basement, studying in the library, skipping family events and canceling vacations. Carlstroms new responsibilities entail 12-hour long shifts supervising a patrol squad on the road, with six to seven officers working under him. In addition to the administrative responsibility that goes along with being a supervisor, I also respond to many of the calls and am there to provide guidance and support to our officers as many incidents require quick and important decisions. With the MOPD in the midst of hiring several young officers, Carlstrom says he hopes to be able to motivate, influence, guide, and direct these new officers in such

He says one of the challenges he faces as a new sergeant is learning how to effectively communicate with my officers. Everybody has a different personality and you have to work your way thru figuring out how to communicate, motivate, and influ-
ence each personality. Working for the MOPD is a career Carlstrom has enjoyed. I totally enjoy the people I work with and the community in which I work, says Carlstrom. Police officers share unique experiences which makes it a true brotherhood. I grew up in Mt. Olive and it has continued on next page

continued from previous page changed and grown a lot since I was a kid. It is a diverse town and I have gotten a chance to deal with almost every kind of situation making everyday different. Sgt. Mase is also looking forward to his new challenges. I am truly looking forward to the challenges the new position will bring, says Mase, who has been with the MOPD since 1999. I don't like things to always be easy. I like to be challenged. I work with a great group of officers and honestly believe that we have the best police department around. Nobody is perfect, we can only push ourselves to stride for perfection in everything we do. Mase, who is very excited about the new
position, admits that my family and I have sacrificed a lot over 13 years and I have worked very hard to get here. He offers a special thank you to my beautiful wife Nancy for all of her support over the years and a thank-you to Chief Spitzer and his staff for recognizing my hard work and believing in my abilities. Assigned as the supervisor of D squad to oversee the actions of six officers, Mase says he wants to help mold the future of our department by developing our future leaders. His main goal is to help teach others but most important of all to lead by example. Now that I am a sergeant, I feel I have to work harder than before, not less. I truly love helping others.

takes. Part of my job is to help others recognize their mistakes and learn from them. Mase, who really enjoyed being a DARE instructor for several years, says Any change is difficult at times. All people react differently to change and many people do no like criticism. As a supervisor, it is important to always be respected but understand that sometimes people will be upset with you for a decision you have made. Its part of life. Also with the MOPD since 1999, Sgt. Sanchez decided to apply for sergeant because I was at the point in my career where not only did I want to be a part of the day to day decision making, but I felt that the knowledge, experiences, and abilities that I have gained from my years on the road and the time I spent in the Investigations Division could help the department in moving forward. Sanchez says he was both relieved and humbled that he was chosen. I was humbled because the pools of candidates were excellent officers, says Sanchez. The relief came because there were many moments of sacrifice, both by my family and I during the promotional process. It was also gratifying knowing that my children learned a valuable life lesson, hard work and commitment pays off.
In his new role, Sanchez says I expect to help train, motivate and pass on the knowledge I have gained from my superiors. I will work to continue to improve the level of service we provide and to proactively enforce narcotic laws as well as seek out known and future criminals. Sanchez is responsible for serving as a conduit between the MOPD administration and rank and file personnel, which includes supervising the detectives under his command. He will be involved with the State Forfeiture Accounts/Confidential Funds; serve as a Source Management representative, member of the Morris County Prosecutors Office Burglary Task Force, and Gang Liaison Officer. He says his greatest challenge is trying to provide the same level of service in an era where government is being downsized. I plan to help overcome this issue by developing and training our officers investigative skills in order to reduce the impact of this issue. Although his title has changed, Sanchez will continue to enjoy his work through the MOPD, and that includes Meeting truly interesting people, having an impact on people on a daily basis, and developing a bond with the people I work with and encounter.

Knox Security Services offers security for residential and commercial properties; fire systems for commercial; Bose surround systems for homes and theater rooms; intercoms; networking for computers and smart systems; and central vacuums for new construction. Knox says his customer base includes local to as far as ninety minutes away including areas of South Jersey and Pennsylvania. His son, John, expanded the business one year ago when he opened a second location in Arizona. To keep up with technology, Knox has been offering the latest in security such as camera systems so customers can view activity on their phones; and security systems through smart phones in which users can control lighting, thermostats, and computers remotely through their phones. For customers who have the older security systems, Knox says more and more, as systems are getting older, we go in and upgrade the components. Upgrades are made to the panel and keypad, and many add a radio back up in case phones lines are cut, says Knox. The new 4-G radios offer a lot more flexibility to security systems, says Knox, allowing customers to use more applications on the phone. Z-Wave technology recently came out which allows users to add their lights and thermostat to set temperature from their phone. You can turn lights on, heat on with the phone, said Knox.

Whether installing a new system or upgrading to the latest techniques and devices, president Kevin Knox is local and readily available to provide his customers top notch service. According to statistics, the crime rate has been on an incline. The need for keeping ones home or business secure has never been greater. Weve been shown it- statistics have shown that crime has increased tremendously, says Knox, pretty much all over. Knox says there have been more break-ins because of the economy. Security is becoming a key unit in the house. Its getting worse; you just need protection. Knox began his security business in 1978 in Long Valley, where he stayed for about eight years. In 1985, he moved to Flanders off of Route 206 because he needed a larger building and was closer to the highway. It was construction growth that led Knox in 1997 to his current location in Hackettstown. We needed more space and this is where we found it.

If theres an issue, they can always get in touch with me. Its good business. I probably meet 95 percent of the customers so they can put a face with the company.

eeing double? That is the case at St. Michael Catholic School in Netcong , New Jersey, where there are six sets of twins in this years kindergarten classes! Each class has two sets of twins which helps make the classrooms twice as nice! Mrs. Mary Jacobs, Miss Caitlin Gargiulo and Miss Lisa Grabowski, the three kindergarten teachers, have all observed the special bond the twins have. They are best friends and are very supportive of each other all three teachers commented. They seem to bring out the best in each other through a healthy, competitive nature, states Miss Grabowski. And, they are very protective of one another. Miss Gargiulo acknowledges that it is difficult to tell them apart. She has tried to decipher a freckle or two that is different on one twin to help distinguish who they are. She feels, The other children in the class accept their classmates as individuals and have an easier time at identifying who they are! Mrs. Jacobs has noticed how different
St. Michaels School is Seeing Double

the twins personalities are. Even the identical twins in my class have different personalities, she explains. The difference in their mannerisms is what really helps their classmates tell them apart. All three teachers separate the twins during activities to encourage their independence and ensure they have the opportunity to teach each twin as an individual. It is interesting to learn how much twins have in common, whether together or apart. Mr. Ernest Jackson, principal of St. Michael School, said the decision to keep the six sets of twins together was based on making the transition to school easier for the children and their families. It makes for a consistent learning environment for the children and their parents, he notes. We are blessed at St. Michael School to have the opportunity to help these youngsters transition into a new chapter of their lives. Jackson added, I am sure it is going to be an adventurous year! You know what they say, Double the fun!

Contestants at last year's Chili Cook-off await the "People's Choice" announcement.
by Elsie Walker n October 20th, chili will be the word on everyones lips, and its flavor tantalizing the taste buds at the 2nd Annual Chili Cook-off at the Stanhope United Methodist Church. The event begins at 6:30pm. The church is located at #2 Route 183 in Netcong. The chili cook-off winner is picked by popular vote. Last year, Pam Wootton of Stanhope, walked away with the champion trophy. Rev. Tom Kinter, pastor of the church, noted that in the previous competition, the varieties of chilly included tradi-
tional hot and mild chili, chili with turkey, chili with beef and a diabetic chili. Also, some contestants brought extra fixings, such as peppers and sour cream. Anyone of any age can bring a pot of chili for the competition. Theres no registration and no cost. Basically, its an offering to the community. Its a good introduction to the church familyto come and join us, have a meal, and see the church at play, Kinter shared. In addition to chili, there will be chili alternatives, such as chicken fingers. We recognize that not everyone likes chili so we offer
an alternative choiceespecially for the children, said Kinter. He noted that last year there was a good mix of church family and people from the community. He said that it is a good intergenerational events which appeals to senior, singles, and families. Theres no cost, but if [people] are able to bring a side dish, such as mac and cheese or a salad, that would be great, said Kinter. For more information, call the church at: 973-347-0247.

Local Principal Accepts Leading Role At State Level

was hard to imagine leaving. Struggling with her decision, Severns admits the opportunity was one she could not pass up. I accepted the position because I believe that when you are called to serve, you should answer, says Severns. For twenty years, I worked to improve the quality of teaching and learning for students who attended the schools in which I worked. While I was in Mt. Olive, I was completely committed to serving the 1,200 students who attended that school each year. Now I was being offered an opportunity to influence the outcomes for all 1.3 million students in the State of New Jersey. I felt like I was being asked to accept more than a job - it was a responsibility. Severns was approached in May 2012 about opportunities to work with the State Department and its involvement with the new Regional Achievement Centers (RAC). Initially, Severns interviewed for the position of Director of Standards, a vacancy that they were seeking to fill in order to assist with the efforts to develop model curricula and implement the Common Core State Standards. Following the interview, she was informed that they had another position in mind for her - Deputy Chief Academic Officer. Penny MacCormack, the Chief Academic Officer, recommended her by appointment. Severns has been appointed to serve a two year contract with the Academic Division of the NJDOE, which is responsible for leading the efforts to improve the educational outcomes for all students, pre-k to 12, in NJ, says Severns. My role is to guide the work being done by the Department, the RACs and in the schools to develop and implement quality curricula, instruction and assessment in order to improve student achievement, says Severns. One of my primary responsibilities is to develop a "roll out" plan to support statewide implementation of the rigorous Common Core State Standards and our transition to the new state assessments, she says. As part of that work, much of my time is dedicated to assisting the efforts of the newly developed Regional Achievement Centers to improve the state's lowest performing schools and the schools with the widest achievement gaps.
By Cheryl Conway s hard as it was for her to leave as leader of the Mt. Olive Middle School for the past eight years, Dr. Tracey Severns supports change especially when it can mean greater things to come. Severns, who has served as principal of MOMS since 2005, has taken on a new role to serve as the Deputy Chief Academic Officer of the New Jersey Department of Education. Her two-year contract with the NJDOE began Aug. 13. While her work at the middle school has been her most fulfilling and professionally rewarding journey of her adult life, Severns could not pass up the great opportunity and sense of commitment to statewide improvement. When I was first offered the position, I felt honored, humbled and surprised, says Severns. Once the initial reaction began to fade, I began to struggle with the idea of leaving my students and my school. Working at Mt. Olive Middle School had been my greatest joy and my most rewarding professional experience. The school was the center of my life for nearly eight years. While I felt drawn by the new challenge, it
As the new Deputy Chief Academic Officer, My goal is to improve the educational opportunities and outcomes for every student in the State of New Jersey, says Severns. I believe that there is no more important work than this. When the day comes that all students graduate from our high schools ready for college and careers, I continued on next page

continued from previous page will know that I have achieved my goal. The door to MOMS, meanwhile, has been left open for Severns which means that if the need should arise, I could return to the district as principal, she says. The NJDOE and Mt. Olive BOE signed an Intergovernmental Agency Agreement, which means that I am essentially on loan to the State Department. The term of the contract is two years. If, for any reason, my position is discontinued, I could return to a

Tell Them You Saw It In The Mt. Olive News, October 2012, Page 31 principal position in Mt. Olive. Under the Intergovernmental Agency Agreement, Severns has been given the opportunity to remain under contract with Mt. Olive while working for the State Department. Under this agreement, the state pays the district and the district pays Severns. As such, I am able to maintain the same salary and retain my seniority and tenure while working for the state for the duration of the contract, confirms Severns. To keep business running smoothly at MOMS, Susan Miranda who had served as the director of Guidance at Mt. Olive High School- was selected and appointed Acting Principal for the middle school by Superintendent of Schools Dr. Larrie Reynolds and the BOE. Mrs. Miranda is a bright and talented educator who is completely dedicated to serving the students, staff and school community, says Severns. I am confident that she has the professional capacity and personal commitment necessary to continue the work that has been done to make Mt. Olive Middle School a great place to work and learn. In her role as principal at MOMS since 2005, Severns has been a great leader for change and improvement. Reynolds called Severns our change agent, our hero this past school year, 20112012, during the award presentation recognizing MOMS as one of six schools throughout the country to receive the 2012 National School Change Award by the National Principals Leadership Institute. Bestowed annually to six schools throughout the United States, the award is the only of its kind given to schools that have significantly improved for the better. MOMS was the only school to win this prestigious award in NJ for 2012. Over the past six years, MOMS students have steadily produced improved results in their ASK scores. In the last two years, MOMS has been listed among the top rated middle schools in Morris County, based on the percentage of students who score Advanced Proficient on New Jerseys ASK exams. Among schools with similar or lower socioeconomic demographics, it ranked third in the county. In 2011, Severns received Visionary Principal of the Year by the New Jersey Principals & Supervisors Association (NJPSA), and The Katherine Goerss Leadership Award by the New Jersey Middle School Association (NJMSA) for her exemplary service to middle level education and Mt. Olive Middle School. Working in education for the past 26 years in various capacities such as a master teacher, a resource center teacher, vice principal, principal and superintendent- Severns commitment, experience and knowledge in the field of education continues as she moves onto her next journey.
our 401(k) offers tax-deductible contributions, tax-deferred growth of earnings potential and a variety of investment options so its a great tool for building retirement savings. Yet like all tools, your 401(k) must be used properly to get the best results. Thats why you should review your 401(k) at least annually and make whatever adjustments are needed. Depending on where you work, you may get some 401(k) review help from your plan provider. But if that assistance isnt available, you might want to consult with a financial professional to make sure youre getting the maximum benefit from your

plan. As you begin to review your 401(k), your first question should probably be this: How much should I contribute? At the very least, try to put in enough to receive your employers matching contribution, if one is offered. If you dont earn this match, you are essentially walking away from free money. Beyond this, though, the amount you put into your 401(k) might depend on what other retirement savings vehicles you have available. For instance, if youre eligible, you may also want to contribute to a Roth IRA, which offers tax-free growth potential, provided youve had your account for five years and dont start taking withdrawals until youre 59. Of course, its not only how much you put into your 401(k) that determines its success its also how you choose to allocate your investment dollars. (Keep in mind that asset allocation does not guarantee a profit or protect against loss.) Your 401(k) may have a dozen or more investment choices, such as stock funds, bond funds and money market funds. To choose the right investment mix, youll need to consider a variety of factors, including these: Your age Generally speaking, the younger you are, the more aggressive you can afford to be with your 401(k) investments, because youll have decades in which to potentially overcome the inevitable down periods of the market. As you get older, you may wish to invest somewhat more conservatively, but youll still need some growth potential in your 401(k) portfolio. Your goals Everyone has different goals for retirement. You might want to retire early and travel the world, while your co-worker desires to work as long as possible and then, upon retirement, stay close to home and pursue hobbies. Because you each have different goals, with different income needs, you also may need to follow different investment strategies within your 401(k).
Tell Them You Saw It In The Mt. Olive News, October 2012, Page 33 PAID ADVERTISEMENT Your other retirement income sources If you have a variety of retirement income sources a pension from another job, an IRA, a spouse withgenerous retirement benefits you may need to invest differently, perhaps less aggressively, than if you had fewer options for retirement income. Apart from putting away as much as you can into your 401(k) and choosing the right investment mix, what else can you do to get the most out of your plan? Heres a suggestion: If you have worked at various jobs and acquired multiple 401(k)s, consider rolling them over into one account. You might save money on fees and reduce paperwork, but more importantly, youll be able to concentrate your resources and pursue a unified investment approach, with your investment dollars working together toward your ultimate retirement goals. As you can see, a 401(k) review and rollover can reward you in many ways so do whatever it takes to maximize your 401(k)s performance.

Chester Author Embraces Halloween

sionate love, the shell indicates long journeys and the key, great success and power, said Holton. Another superstition offers one way to avoid getting bad headaches. It just takes being vigilant with hair care. There is an unusual superstition about cutting hair. When your hair is cut be sure that it is collected and wrapped into a bag, tin foil or baggie. Any hair swept outdoors may be picked up by the birds. They will use it, because of the strength of the fiber, to build a nest. As they are pecking to create the nest, so too will you have severe pounding headaches all of your life! the author shared. Holton is busy writing and speaking. Her award winning works include not only Touching The Dead, but Salem Pact, Vampire Resurrection, and her last work, Deadly Innocence. The latter showed that Halloween is definitely Holtons day as the work won honorable mention at the 2011 Halloween Book Festival, in Hollywood, California. The writer has been busy promoting that book. This past summer, she spoke at book clubs in Charleston, South Carolina and just finished a book tour up in Providence, Rhode Island where the novel is situated. Upcoming, Holton will be at some local events. On October 16th, shell be at the Bound Brook Library, speaking on East Coast Ghosts. Shell also be speaking on the topic on October 23rd on WMBS-CBS, Uniontown, Pennsylvania radio. On October 27th, shell don zombie dress and make-up as she dances with a group in the Thriller marathon at the Randolph YMCA to compete for the most people doing it at the same time around the world for the Guinness Book of World Records. Then, on November 27rd, shes at the Chester 50 Plus club speaking on yuletide superstitions.
By Elsie Walker t is not surprising that Halloween is one of Carlotta Holtons favorite holidays. The author of several horror books, she was dubbed, The Queen of Superstitions after the release of her book, Touching the Dead. Now the Chester author is working on a second volume, Touching the Dead.Again (due out in 2013). Its a series of short stories based on superstitions discovered through the authors travels to Portugal, Italy, England, Scotland, Belize, and throughout the United States. Recently, Holton took some time to share a few superstitions, what shes been doing lately, and some of her favorite ghost stories. I have always been fascinated by the psychological control that superstitions have over many of us. And the more we believe in them, the longer the superstition lasts, in many cases in perpetuity. As Ive been researching quotes for the new book, Ive been reminded that its [not] only the average man or woman who buys into superstitions. Even the famous authors, politicians, musicians, actors, and even royalty, have been slaves to superstition, she said. One superstition she shared is said to help people determine the course of their love lives and livelihood.and all it takes are some mashed potatoes and a few simple objects. An amusing superstition involves mashed potatoes as a method of divining who will be the first in the family to get married. A ring, a coin, a button, a heart-shaped charm, a shell and a key must be buried in the cooked potatoes. All the lights must be turned out and, using a spoon, each guest tries to find the hidden ring. The one who finds the ring will marry first; the coin signifies a wealthy marriage. The button signifies spinsterhood or bachelorhood; the heart pas-
Chester author Carlotta Holton is known as the Queen of Superstitions.
In her East Coast Ghost talks, Holton will be sharing one of her favorite ghost stories, that of the spirit of Giles Corey, who allegedly haunts the area outside of the Henry Street continued on next page
Tell Them You Saw It In The Mt. Olive News, October 2012, Page 35 continued from previous page Cemetery, in Salem, Massachusetts. One of the victims of the 1692 witchcraft executions, the 82 year old landowners wife, was accused and hung a as witch. Worried about losing his property for his ancestors, he refused to plead guilty and was pressed to death with huge slabs of stone over a three day period. Right before he died, he placed a curse on Sheriff Corwin and the village of Salem. Since then, all of the sheriffs have died in office of a heart or blood condition. And every now and then, people see the ghost of Giles wandering. What follows is a great tragedy, like the great hurricane of 1888, the fire in 1914 and the tragic death of others. Many of the haunting tours capture his orb while others have actually seen his ghostly apparition, Holton said. For those who might be interested in historic ghost stories closer to home, Holton shared this one about Ringwood, New Jersey: The trifecta of ghost stories involves three ghosts who reportedly haunt Ringwood Manor. Built in the 1700s, the original house was a collection of smaller buildings patched to create the manor. The current Manor House was built in 1807. General Erskine, who ran the Iron Works, was the resident of Ringwood Manor. He

was a geographer and surveyor for General George Washington during the Revolutionary War. Erskine died of pneumonia during the war and was buried at the manor. Part of the property overlooks a small pond with lovely grounds surrounding it. Visitors enjoy the bucolic atmosphere during the day, but its a different story at night when the ghosts allegedly walk. Spirits have been reported at three different places. The ghost of a housemaid who was beaten to death in a small second floor bedroom has been observed wandering the great halls. People have heard footsteps and soft crying. The bedroom door is ajar and the bed, rumpled. Behind the pond visitors will find an unmarked grave with the remains of French soldiers who fought with Rochambeau during the Revolutionary War. After dark, they walk along the shore and you can hear voices speaking French. Finally, the spirit of General Erskine can be seen sitting on his grave behind the pond. It is clear from the stories she shares, and the passion with which she shares them, that Holton loves Halloween. There is a mystery and magical presence to the day. It presents the opportunity to try on a new persona much like writing fiction. You can create characters that you might want to be or might want to know and take them anywhere, she said.

Fire-Fighters Spread Safety Tips in MO

fighter, its a pretty scary sight, says Widzemok. We show them what we look like and sound like so they are not afraid. The greatest tip on fire prevention is to practice fire drills, suggests Kevin Maloney, assistant chief of the Budd Lake Fire Department. Homeowners should practice with their families where to meet whether on the front lawn or a neighbors house in case of a fire. Families need a fire safety plan for adults and kids, agrees Widzemok, a meeting spot where you should meet; a whole plan for everyone to meet. The same goes for corporations, says Maloney. Just make sure you do your fire drills and practice where your employees go so we can account for everybody. Fred Detoro, fire marshal of Mt. Olive Township, recommends homeowners to always check your batteries and smoke detectors to make sure they work. Widzemok suggests changing smoke detectors atleast twice a year when you change your clocks in the fall and spring, even if you think your battery is working. He suggests changing the batteries on Carbon Monoxide (CO) devices twice a year also. The number of house fire incidents in Mt. Olive for 2012 are down this year, says officials. The most recent house fire occurred on Sunday, Sept. 30 at a home on Oxford Road in Budd Lake. The fire broke out Sunday morning at 5:15 a.m. Maloney, who served as incident commander for that fire in charge since the fire chief was away, said there was heavy fire upon his arrival causing firefighters to conduct an exterior attack to the flames. The fire was under control by 8:30 a.m. and completely extinguished at 10:30 a.m. There were no injuries, says Maloney, but the home was destroyed. The family has been given Red Cross assistance. According to Detoro, the fire originated from the factory built fireplace installed by the home builder in 1996. The exact cause is still under investigation. Fire companies provided tankers to help distinguish the fire because of the lack of fire hydrants in the area, says Detoro. They included Budd Lake, Flanders, Netcong, Mendham, Chester, Hackettstown, Mt. Arlington and Washington Township fire companies. This was the worst fire this year, says Maloney. There have been two other house fires in Budd Lake in 2012, he says. There are currently 40 volunteer members of the Budd Lake Fire Department who respond to calls in a 27 square mile radius out of the 32 miles in Mt. Olive. The department typically receives 500 to 550 calls annually, but this year has received 420, says Maloney. Most of the calls are from car accidents, fire alarms and gas leaks. Widzemok says there have not been any house fires in Flanders all year. Weve been very fortunate this year in Flanders, says Widzemok. The message getting out about fire prevention is helping. I think people are more cautious about what they do, like lighting candles, they are being
By Cheryl Conway he number of house fire incidents is down this past year in Mt. Olive but the need to follow fire prevention tips remains just as high. October is Fire Prevention Month throughout the United States. During National Fire Prevention Week the Flanders and Budd Lake Volunteer Fire Departments visit local public and private schools as well as some day care centers to educate youngsters and parents about fire safety. Through education and awareness, homeowners can help prevent fires and keep residents safe. There are many things people can do to protect themselves at home, school or work from a fire. Its all about safety, says Greg Widzemok, fire chief of the Flanders Fire Department for the past two years, and getting the knowledge out about fires. Its great to get out all this knowledge to the kids. The more you can educate about fire safety, the better off you are. The history of National Fire Prevention Week has it roots in the Great Chicago Fire, which occurred in October 1871. The Great Chicago Fire which is known as one of the largest U.S. disasters of the 19th centurywas a conflagration that burned from Sunday, Oct. 8, to early Tuesday, October 10, 1871, killing hundreds and destroying about 3.3 square miles in Chicago, Illinois. The exact cause was never determined, but some say it started in or around a small barn as a result of a cow kicking over a lantern. Spread of the fire was aided by a previous drought, overuse of wood for building and strong southwest winds that shed embers toward the heart of the city. Residents of the city, delayed in their reaction and lack of concern, worsened conditions. The fire jumped to a nearby neighborhood, destroying mansions, houses and apartments. After two days of the fire burning out of control, rain helped to extinguish the remaining fire, leaving more than 300 people dead and 100,000 homeless. To recognize Fire Prevention Month, the Budd Lake Fire Department held an open house on Saturday, Oct. 13, from 11 a.m.to 3 p.m., at the Budd Lake Fire House on Route 46. There were displays featuring activities and brochures for kids and parents to do that relate to fire safety. There were some assimilated demonstrations such as a car fire and fire training. They also visit the local schools to educate students about fire safety. In Flanders, a fire prevention committee - of about five to six volunteers firefighters - visits Mt. View and Tinc Road elementary schools as well as some day care centers. They arrive in a big red fire truck in uniform and hand out packets to bring home to their parents on fire safety tips. For most kids when they see a fire
more careful. Detoro says there have been fewer fires this year because of the mild winter. When winters are very cold, fireplaces work overtime, furnaces work overtime, people use alternative heating sources which contribute to fires, says Detoro.

Mt. Olive Middle School Welcomes Its New Principal

aged me that I could do what I want to do. She is hoping to bring leadership and the ability to help MOMS students be prepared to succeed at the high school level. As vice principal of student services at the MOHS, Miranda says her job was to get students ready for college and the outside world; to make sure that students were well prepared academically for the next step; to make sure it was a comprehensive program; and make sure they were competitive in college or the career world. By bringing that knowledge and experience to the middle school, Miranda knows what it takes to prepare these young teenagers for the next level. I have those skills to get these kids ready at the high school level, says Miranda, to get them ready in a prepared manner. I can use those skills here because I know what makes students successful at the high school level. Mirandas other goal as acting principal is to promote an environment that allows students to feel safe socially and mentally as well as excited about learning. She says she wants students to feel good and know they are supported if they have challenges. Middle school is a tough time. Its a big transition and high school comes quickly. I want Mt. Olive Middle School a place where kids are learning and achieving and happy to be here. Miranda would like to focus on expanding on anti-bullying at the middle school level. I have a sense that kindness and respect is very important for all people; that we really model that learning; that respecting and being kind to others is close to my heart. While most students do have good behavior, Miranda says we know kids can get into conflict; bullying and conflict do occur in any school. Kindness and respect is a good, teachable moment for all students. With tolerance and acceptance, everyone can feel good about being here. Learning about the school and meeting the students and their families is currently on Mirandas agenda, but in the near future she would like to pair with another schoolwhether in the United States or globally- to work with them, to expand our view and learn from one another, she says. She is enjoying her new position so far. The kids, they are really great, says Miranda, of the 1,200 students enrolled at MOMS this year. They are really warm; its a different age. Theyre genuine students who
By Cheryl Conway nto her second month as acting principal of the Mt. Olive Middle School, Susan Miranda is settling in meeting students, families, and staff and setting goals to maintain the quality of education. Miranda of Califon was appointed in July 2012 by Superintendent of Schools Dr. Larrie Reynolds and the Mt. Olive Board of Education to step in as acting principal. Dr. Tracey Severns, who has served as MOMS principal for the past eight years, accepted a two-year appointment to serve as Deputy Chief Academic Officer for the New Jersey State Department of Education. As acting principal, Miranda plans to continue to push for academic excellence and continue on the path of being a top performing middle school paved out for her by Severns. The middle school has been run very well for the last eight years under Severns leadership. Mirandas goal is to keep the academic rigor and quality of education to the level that it is. Im walking into something- her leadership has really helped coming into a new school. From the guidance of Dr. Reynolds and the training from Dr. Severns, to the support from students, families and staff of MOMS, Miranda is off to a welcoming start in her new role. Before coming to the MOMS, Miranda worked at the Mt. Olive High School as Vice Principal of Student Services since 2009. Prior to working in Mt. Olive, Miranda worked for the North Hunterdon-Voorhees School district for 12 years as a school counselor; Hillsborough High School as counselor for five years; and taught middle school while living in upstate New York. Working in the field of education since 1989, Miranda is excited to be working as a principal and returning to the middle school level. I was very honored to be appointed, says Miranda, who has a bachelors degree in education, and master degrees in counseling and education leadership. I feel very honored to be here. I feel very grateful for the community support from the staff and the kids. I couldnt have asked for a better welcome. She chose education as her career because I love kids. I really enjoy working with students. They keep you young. Its exciting and I just enjoy it. I had amazing teachers when I was younger as role models. I had parents who encour-
are smart and kind. The kindness, Im so impressed with. The families have been very gracious and welcoming. The staff, they are tremendous and they love the kids, continues Miranda. They really want to see the kids succeed and do well. As a mother of four kids, Miranda says I want my children loved and cared for as well as I want them to feel good about coming to school. Miranda understands the challenges that come with parenting school-age children. I know whats its like to be on the opposite end with families, says Miranda, with work, activities, racing around, the homework. I know its difficult. Most parents that Ive met want the best for their children. I know what the challenges are. I want parents to come to me. Miranda says, I have a very open door policy. If they have any concerns for their children, I want them to be their childrens advocate. Its really important for parents to feel comfortable; we are partners. At any time, if they have concerns or questions, theres an open door policy here and they are welcome to come in.

Incident: DWI, Contempt of Court Date: September 26th. 2012 Location: Route 206, Flanders Investigating Ofc. Matthew Gumann Involved: (A) Wayne Davidson, Age 33, Flanders, Matthew Gumann was on patrol along route 206 in the Flanders section of the Township, when he was advised by the police dispatcher that Chester Borough was looking for a 1998 green Ford pickup truck driven by a male named Wayne for an unrelated issue. Gumann began to observe traffic in the area and quickly observed a vehicle and male matching the description provided by Chester Borough. Gumann stopped the pick up and went to speak with the male driver, now identified as Wayne Davidson of Flanders NJ. As Gumann was speaking with Davidson, Gumann observed signs of intoxication. After a brief investigation Davidson was arrested for Driving While Intoxicated, in addition it was discovered that Davidson had a warrant for his arrest issued out of Branchburg NJ. Davidson was transported to Police Headquarters where he was processed s your home properly protected against fire, smoke, and heat damage? Do you feel like home and family are adequately prepared for these types of emergencies? Fire is obviously quite damaging to property, and a serious threat to life and limb. In order for fire prevention and protection at home to make a difference, it needs to be effective, well thought out, and properly maintained to immediately alert and instantly activate in the event of fire. Really good fire protection safeguards assets and protects lives. When a fire breaks out nearly all of our senses detect it early. We can see flames, smell smoke, and feel the heat it generates. We can

Upon arrival he observed a male matching the description provided. The male, now identified as Fred Wind, of Patterson NJ, advised Braikovich that he was there to help feed a friends pets. During a brief investigation Braikovich discovered a warrant for Winds arrest existed from Warren County. In addition it was determined that Wind had driven from Patterson to Oakwood Village with a suspended Drivers License. Wind was arrested on the warrant and transeven hear to roar of the growing threat. In order for fire protection to make a difference, it must target our senses. As an example, many fires start at night when we are asleep and not able to sense the initial blaze. Initial fire alarms must be loud and identifiable as exactly that: emergency alarms. By the time we wake up and are aware of our surroundings we have lost critical time that could literally spell the difference between life and death.

Window Tinting Clears Fading, High Energy Bills
But for those concerned about glare and fading flooring, rugs and furniture from the sun caused by uncovered windows, window tinting may be the best option. Excellent Window Tinting Inc. in Millstone Twp. provides window tinting for residential and commercial use. Window tinting is beneficial in helping to reduce energy costs, glare, fading prevention, privacy, safety and security and decorative design. Energy savings is important to me, says owner Dennis DiSilvestro. Tinting, its a way to save a lot of money and energy use and its a way to preserve the environment. As a member of the United States Green Building Council, DiSilvestro has joined other contractors, architects, and engineers that use methods to try to save energy to help the environment and save energy costs. DiSilvestro has been in business for 18 years providing customers throughout New Jersey and Manhattan a variety of tinting options for their windows. He can cover any window size or shape, except for the old flexi glass style windows, curved or concaved since this tinting does not bend, he says. The tint is a laminate that goes on the interior of the window. He uses baby shampoos to gently clean and scrape the windows and then squeegees the laminate on. We are very meticulous and very careful, says DiSilvestro.
By Cheryl Conway here is no better way to appreciate the fall foliage then looking through a bare glass window.
Many choose to tint their windows to reduce fading of floors and furniture. DiSilvestro says sometimes homeowners do not realize that fading can be greater in the winter rather than the hot summer months. You have more fading in the winter, says DiSilvestro because there is more sun coming through the windows since the sun is typically lower in the sky. You have more direct sunlight coming into your windows. In the summer months, roofs can shield the sun from coming in more since the sun is located higher in the sky, he adds. DiSilvestro offers seven different percentages of film for customers to choose. His 70 percent film, for example, is his lightest tint, almost clear, he says. Once you get darker you know its on there. The darker you go the more glare you lose.
We go in with all seven film samples, he says. We measure windows. We give the price estimate. Price depends on size of windows and the product the customer chooses, he says. Typically I ask for a rough dimension of one window and give them the cost on three different products that we use, says DiSilvestro, who offers a lifetime warranty on film. The film is somewhat permanent but can be removed with a razor blade without damaging the window. But once the film is on you cant alter the properties of the film meaning you can not make it lighter or darker. The only option would be to remove the film to change it. The application of the window tinting can be done in continued on next page
continued from previous page one to two days depending on how many and how large the windows are to be tinted. Most jobs are completed in one day or less. Most people do not tint all the windows in their home; some do areas that are more troublesome, he says, like in a room that just got its hardwood floors redone. The number one reason why customers choose to tint their windows is fade prevention, says DiSilvestro, on hardwood floors, rugs, artwork and furniture. Film fades all AV rays, he says, and prevents sun damage. Many homeowners also choose window tinting in order to control the temperature of the room. The films all cut a tremendous amount of heat, he says. It cuts anywhere from 45 percent to 75 percent of the heat coming in. If it lowers the temperature by nine to 14 degrees, it makes rooms much cooler. In winter, it acts like an insulator. It radiates the heat back in the room. DiSilvestro says It will not cost them more to heat that room in the winter, and in the spring, theres a tremendous cost in energy savings. Some people choose shades to reduce the

glare and sun damage, but they have to be closed to work, he says. But then, you are not looking outside. Tinting is for people who want everything open. You dont have to cover anything and you are still protected. According to DiSilvestro, the window film enhances your view to the exterior. It will make it easier to see outside; it cuts some of the glare; the optimum clarity is excellent. Trained years ago by CP Films in Virginia on issues such as safety, security and solar films, DiSilvestro says after 18 years of doing it you learn a lot of it on the job site. Im on site, I do work with my installers, I pay attention to details, we use drop cloths everywhere. DiSilvestro, who is a member of American Society of Interior Designers, says we listen to the needs of the homeowner and we address them. What they need is what we try to address and fix. DiSilvestro will offer 10 percent off any order if the customer reads this article in the Mt. Olive News.

New Jerseys Ghost Hunters

When asked about ghost stories, both Hladik and Chirrco had some local ones to share. I've had a few encounters right in Union Cemetery in Hackettstown. One time, I heard someone running on the pavement coming toward me, but I couldn't see anyone. I also saw what is called a shadow person moving around. I don't get scared, just curious and intrigued to find out more, Chirrco said Hladik has also had a memorable Hackettstown encounter which she shared with News 12. It was great getting to investigate the former Charlie Browns restaurant in Hackettstown with News 12 NJs Syma Chowdry in 2008. She actually experienced a discarnate voice talking about her the Halloween day we were doing the segment there on live TV, Hladik said . In addition to investigations, Hladik gives presentations at state libraries about ghost-related topics. While investigating the paranormal is something the NJGHS does year round, this time of year make others more curious of certain things theyve heard or seen. There is always a spike in traffic to the NJGHS web site [http://www.njghs.net/ njghshome.html] during this season, and some inquiries do warrant dispatching a team to investigate, said Hladik. Speaking of investigations, the NJGHS offers training to members. For the Lifetime Member, the training of two cemetery hunts of tagging along with the Team Leader must be completed in order to be considered for a private investigative team. This training includes equipment review and hands-on practice in the cemeteries that weve received clearance for
by Elsie Walker or most of us, ghosts are something we only think of at Halloween. Even then, our images of ghosts may be of hovering white sheets and our experiences with paranormal activity might be limited to things weve seen in movies. However, for Laura (Laura) Hladik and Dina Chirrco, ghost hunting, investigating the paranormal is a year- round fascination which has yielded some real life experiences. Hladik, also known as Ghost Chick, is the founder of the New Jersey Ghost Hunters Society. Chirrco is the Team Leader for the North Jersey Division that meets in Hackettstown. In total, the society has 785 members with approximately 55% of the membership coming from North Jersey Ive had a fascination with ghosts and the paranormal since childhood. I started doing investigations in 1993, and in 1998 after attending the IGHS [International Ghost Hunters Society]Ghost Conference in Gettysburg, Pennsylvania, I founded the NJGHS, said Hladik. She shared that the [NJGHS]societys mission is: To search out definitive proof of life beyond the grave. To provide paranormal investigations to those who request them, free of charge. To train those individuals, who so desire and become members of the NJGHS, in the protocols of professional, ethical and scientific paranormal investigating. Chirrco has been with the society since its early days, I have always been interested in ghosts and the paranormal since I was a child. In my teenage years, I began to have experiences and in 1998, joined the NJGHS to explore my interest and curiosity further with other people.

Drakestown UMCs New Look at Naughright Road

The signs dedication will be on Sunday, October 28th at noon, directly following the worship service. I will say a few words. There will be a short prayer and we will sing a hymn. Then it will be off to Friendship Hall for refreshments, said the churchs pastor, the Rev. Bob Mayer. The sign has the flexibility to allow the church to change its message every minute plus allows it to post images, and change the color and size of its letters.all from the church building. The new sign replaces two old signs currently on Naughtright Road. Mayer noted that today signage is important to a church. Studies have shown that 85% of a church's advertising comes from its sign. If it is not current, it will not attract people to the church, said Mayer. This [Naughright Road] is a very busy road, so a sign is very important, he added Like the churchs prayer tent, the sign will be a way for the church to make a connection with those in the surrounding areas. This new sign will show the community that we are here to stay, that we are active and that we are moving forward and reaching out to people. All those commuters will see the activities, outreach and events on this sign, indicating that we want to be in relationship with them. It will certainly get their attention! said Mayer.
By Elsie Walker oon the view will be changing for travelers on Naughright Road. Later this month, the Drakestown United Methodist Church will be putting up an electronic sign. The sign will allow the church to share news of its events and to reach out to the community. It will be located near the churchs prayer tent, a familiar sight to Monday morning and evening commuters. continued from previous page must be completed in order to be considered for a private investigative team. This training includes equipment review and hands-on practice in the cemeteries that weve received clearance for ahead of time to investigate in.

Thomas Edison Judged Music Sound Quality Including The Voice of Popular Music Artists
ing artists. This would be a detrimental company business policy and one of the reasons Edison started to lose market share in the early 1900s to his rival the Victor Talking Machine Company. Victors Eldridge Johnson gave as much thought to marketing strategies as he did to manufacturing. Johnson realized celebrity recordings helped promote record sales. He knew famous singers could capture the consumer into purchasing Victor Phonographs for their household simply because they wanted to hear their celebritys voice right in their own homes. Edisons should have realized fanfare as a powerful marketing driver for the phonograph industry. Edison was a big fan of John Philip Sousa and his marching band music. Sousa refused to have his musical talents recorded by Edisons company. This refusal turned Edison into one of the first people to bootleg music. In 1902 Edison slipped one of his wax cylinder recorders to a parade and nabbed a recording of John Philip Sousas band as they passed by. Edison was a huge fan of Sousa and now his new wondrous invention gave him the opportunity to relive this coveted performance in the comfort of his own home. Ironically Edison did not care that this particular outdoor recording did not have the perfect sound quality he demanded from his studios. Edison said Great music and art are earthly wonders, but I think 'cubist' songs and paintings are hideous. Too many great blues numbers and jazz tunes were dismissed as cubist noise by Edison only to become part of the Victor Talking Machine Companys top hit collection. By 1909 Victor surpassed Edison's in phonograph sales. In 1916 sales of Victor phonographs reached a total
by Michele Guttenberger n December of 1877, Thomas Edison invented the first phonograph at his lab in Menlo Park, New Jersey. He instantly saw the business possibilities of his invention that he immediately formed the Edison Speaking Phonograph Company to further protect his new industry. However, his infant phonograph industry would take a lower priority for a decade while he focused efforts on his incandescent light bulb and the electrical power stations to power them. When he did submerge himself in the phonograph player industry in 1887, he took expansive control over this industry from the manufacturing of the phonograph (music player device that used a needle/stylus) and the format (analog recordings on a wax cylinders or his own patented plastic material called "Blue Amberol). He not only had a say in the production and technology of this emerging industry, but he also had control of the artists that recorded on his medium. Thomas Edison was not only a wizard of invention, he also became a music recording mogul with his own namesake record label, recording studio and recording artists who made the trek to West Orange NJ or Manhattan to have their voice and instrumentals recorded and played on his music players the phonograph. This made Thomas Edison the judge of someones musical talent and he determined if they were worthy of his record label. The current popularity of the performers music did not sway Edisons judgment. In Edisons words to promote an artist based on celebrity constituted "fakery in music". Unfortunately, it was Edison a deaf and musically untrained person that made the final judgments on record-
three times higher than Edison's. Not all of Edisons music selections were forgettable choices. His favorite song was I'll Take You Home Again, Kathleen a popular song written by Thomas P. Westendorf in 1875. This was also a popular song with Elvis Presley too who recorded his rendition of it in May 1971. You can still see Edison records and phonographs today.
