honor to be amongst this
kind of generosity.
Henry said, The day
presented a celebration of
special education and supporting our local school districts. As an educator, it was
great to get to sit down and

ideas as well. We cannot
thank the Lake Hopatcong
Elks enough for recognizing
the importance of our special education programs.

Annual Cross Walk Set

For Netcong/Stanhope
By Elsie Walker
n Good Friday, many Christians in towns across the
world participate in cross walks, a recreation of
Jesus walk to Golgotha where he was crucified.
Persons carrying a cross lead the way, with others following. A cross walk will be held in the Netcong Stanhope
area starting at 11 a.m. on Good Friday, April 3, at the First
Presbyterian Church of Stanhope at 100 Main Street in
Stanhope and ending at St. Michaels Roman Catholic
Church at 4 Church Street in Netcong. Everyone is welcome to join for all or part of the walk. Parking is available
at the Presbyterian church..
"It is hard to describe the experience of the Cross Walk,
said Nick Petrov, pastor of the Port Morris United
Methodist Church in Landing. His church joins in the walk
and he reads at one of the stops.
A diverse group of people from a variety of churches
walk, and young and old take turns holding the cross, said
Petrov. It's important that the community see the Christian
base we have here. It's a way that we can celebrate the holiday that's kind of gotten lost. I believe these types of events
are critical if Christians want to demonstrate Christs love
for neighborhoods, communities and cities.
The cross walk will last about one hour and include five
stops at which part of the crucifixion will be read from the
Bible. The Presbyterian Church is the first stop; followed
by a stop near the driveway to Bells Mansion. The walk
continues to the Stanhope United Methodist Church. After
a reading there, walkers will continue on to the Netcong
train station. After that stop, the walk ends at St. Michaels.
I like the Walk of the Cross because it brings several
Stanhope/Netcong churches together, for prayer and scripture reading, to walk together from church to church to

church, said Rev. Hugh Matlack, pastor of
the First Presbyterian Church of Stanhope.
Good Friday was of course very public -Golgatha was a high place; the Romans
wanted people to see and fear. Our walk is
likewise public, but quiet and reflective.
As the cross moves from stop to stop,
volunteers will be asked to carry it, followed by those participating in the walk. In
this way, the walk follows a portion of the
Bibles gospel of Matthew that says that a
man named Simon from Cyrene was made

to carry Christs cross.
Joe Keenan, a deacon at St. Michaels
shared, The annual walk gives us all an
opportunity to share with our Christian
brothers and sisters our common belief in
the great sacrifice that our brother Jesus
made for each one of us and to rekindle the
hope of full unity among all Christians.

Local Expert Shows NJ Parents How

To Get The Most Money For Their
Childrens College Education
ew Jersey parents suffering with

finding ways to pay for their childrens college education can
finally get the solutions to their college
funding problems.
Most families who earn $75,000 or
more and own a home assume they are not
eligible for financial aid. However, most
families with income over $100,000 are
actually eligible for some types of need
based financial aid. They simply need to
know how to get their fair share.
According to Newell, there are several
easy things parents can do to substantially
increase the amount of money they get
from colleges. For example, There are
several schools that historically give better
financial aid packages than others, says
Newell. If families do proper income and
asset planning before filling out the forms,
they can increase eligibility by thousands
of dollars.
Newell offers a few simple tips to parents with college funding problems. If a
parent has only half an hour to end their

college funding problems, I would suggest
the following:
1. Make sure they do not over-value
their home on the financial aid forms
2. Try not to save money in the childs
name as it weighs more heavily than the
parents savings
3. Dont be afraid to negotiate with a
college for a better financial aid package.
Newell offers New Jersey parents with
college funding problems a free booklet
that explains the 9 most common college
funding problems and solutions. Free
copies will be distributed at the seminar
listed below.
Mr. Newell will be conducting a free
one-hour seminar for parents of college
bound high school sophomores, juniors
and seniors at the following location: The
Louise Childs Public Library, Stanhope on
Tuesday, March 31st at 6:30 p.m.

100 days on their academic
pursuits. In my morning
announcement, I congratulated Netcong School for
their accomplishments so
farand only 80 more
days to go. I would like to
thank Ms. Fulmer and Mrs.
Walsh for all their efforts to
making this a successful
event, says Cinotti.
Creating an event for
the whole school to partici-
pate in was the goal and I

believe we accomplished
it, says Walsh. The G&T
students were excited to
organize the event. I wanted
to create a visual art interpretation of the 100th day
celebration, so we could
enjoy it for the rest of the
school year. I love the way it
turned out, says Fulmer.

By Elsie Walker
he Gospels of the Bible describe Jesus
celebrating Passover with his disciples.
They were 12 men who had shared
everything with Christ, yet that same night,
one would betray him to death, crucifixion.
That Last Supper scene, captured by Da
Vincis masterpiece, will come to life on
Thurs., April 2, at 7:30 p.m., at the Stanhope
United Methodist Church in Netcong. A free
will offering will be taken.
Each disciple comes to the table pondering
his relationship to Jesus and wondering, is it
I who is destined to betray him? Those disciples are portrayed by members of the
churchs United Methodist Mens group:
Angelo Benincasa (James the Lesser), Randy
Jayson Daniels
Schrader (Matthew),
(Nathaniel), Bruce Bristol (John), Steve
Wootton (James), Jim Oscovitch (Andrew),
Scott McKenna (Thomas), Scott LeFurge
(Judas), Orson Gale (Phillip), Rick Munoz
(Thaddeus), Jason Worthington (Simon the
Zealot), Fred Samson (Peter) and Tony Reis
(Jesus).
Lefurge of Byram Township has played
the role of Judas, the ultimate betrayer of
Christ, for many years. In that time, he has
developed some insight into the Judas, the
man: Judas is an intense character with an
important story to share, Lefurge said. What
I have discovered about Judas after having
portrayed him several times is that he is an
ordinary person just like you and me. Judas
The Last Supper Comes to Netcong
wants Jesus to seize the opportunity during

the time of Passover to do something magnificent to let the world know who He is and
what He can do. However, Jesus does not
choose do things this way, but He prays and
does what God His father has told him to do.
Judas decides he must take matters into his
own hands and forces the issue and betrays
Jesus. Without Judas, there would possibly be
no Easter!
While Lefurge plays Jesus betrayer,
Bruce Bristol of Landing plays a far different
disciple.
I play John, said Bristol. John was
Jesus beloved disciple. As John, I have been
part of Jesus' inner circle, sharing his trials
and victories. Bristol went on to explain that
just as John shared the good news of Christ
with others, that is what the Last Supper presentation does as well. I extend a personal
invitation to all to come, so that you can
understand why we believe, said Bristol.
For Christians, Jesus last supper became
the sacrament of communion. In this presentation, once the disciples have said their
pieces, and taken their seats at the table, Jesus
will break the bread and communion will be
given to anyone in the audience who wishes
to take it. Celebrating communion will be the
churchs pastor, Lynn Zaremba.
What a finale, said Zaremba. to invite
all to the Lord's table to share the body and
blood of Christ, as we offer ourselves in
praise and thanksgiving as a holy and living
sacrifice, in union with Christ's offering for

us, as we proclaim the mystery of faith.
In addition to Zarembas part in the
evening, others will be helping out in front
and behind the scenes. The narrator for the
evening will be Bob Anderson of Andover.
Stage set-up and design director is Dave
Matthews of Andover. The mother and
daughter team of Marion Rush and Amanda
Rush, of Netcong, will be handling props and
costumes.
Reflecting on the upcoming presentation,
Zaremba said, As we read the Bible and the

details of the Last Supper, do we put ourselves in that position? There are many
movies that portray the events of the Last
Supper, but when you are in a room sharing
the recreation of that night, I believe you
become a part of those events. Christ is
always with us and maybe this is the reminder
we need to be with Christ in all we do.

Presentation, call the Stanhope United
Methodist Church at (973) 347-0247.

Mardi Gras Raised Money for Sandy Relief
By Elsie Walker
t was Mardi Gras Sunday! The sounds of jazz filled the
Fellowship Hall and sanctuary of the Stanhope United
Methodist Church in late February. Worship at the
Netcong church included an upbeat tempo provided by
some local musicians; while before and after in the
Fellowship Hall, a fundraising breakfast filled up those who
attended with a hearty breakfast and toe-tapping music.
This third annual Mardi Gras- themed Sunday raised $400
for Hurricane Sandy Relief. The idea for a Mardi Gras was
the brainchild of Scott Lefurge of Byram. After Hurricane
Sandy, the church had wanted to come up with a fundraising event that would both help in the relief and in promoting church events and reaching out to the community.
Lefurge, the president of the churchs United Methodist
Men, is a music teacher and knew some jazz versions of
church hymns.
Why jazz?
The devastation of Hurricane Sandy in New Jersey
reminded me of the devastation of Hurricane Katrina in
New Orleans, Louisiana, many years ago, said Lefurge.
New Orleans made me think of Jazz Music and Mardi
Gras. I wanted to find a way that we could incorporate those
ideas into a fundraising event. We came up with the idea to
have a pancake breakfast with live jazz music at the church.
We planned on scheduling our fundraiser breakfast before
and after worship on the Sunday before Fat Tuesday - Mardi
Gras."
Even though the effects of Hurricane Sandy may be a
memory to many in this area, parts of New Jersey are still
rebuilding; thats why the event has become an annual one.
There are so many families that are still waiting to go
home, said Lynn Zaremba, church pastor. The United

Methodist Church continues to rebuild homes and lives.
Losing your home is so much more than just the building,
it's a feeling of loss and sadness. Many items that were in
their homes can never be replaced like photos, family heirlooms, mementos from a first date, etc. Memories of the
precious moments of their life are all they have. With God's
help we try to alleviate some of their stress and sadness, and
bring them "A Future With Hope."
A Future with Hope" is a United Methodist program
that was initiated to help with the Hurricane Sandy relief
efforts.
According
to
its
site,
http://www.afuturewithhope.org/about, 250,000 homes
were affected by Hurricane Sandy, 82,000 homes sustained
major damage and 161,000 people were displaced, A Future
With Hope helps with long term recovery.
A Future with Hope gets people back home by providing case managers, professional construction supervisors,
and thousands of volunteers to work together to repair,
rebuild, and renew.
The free will offering from the Stanhope United
Methodist Mardi Gras breakfast and one taken at worship
that day, went to that program. Wanting 100 percent of the
monies raised to go to Sandy Relief, the church and its
members donated all the food and items to cover the cost of
holding the fundraiser.
The live music for the day was provided by a variety of
area musicians.
Angelo Benincasa of Green Township, the church organist, played piano. On drums was Jared Scaturo, of Byram,
a Lenape Valley High School junior. From Stanhope, was

vocalist Gabrielle Worthington, another Lenape High
School student. One of Lefurges students, Carter Prince
from Bernardsville, played tenor sax.
For Lefurge, playing music was a family affair. Lefurge
played alto and tenor sax. His son, Zachary, who came
from Kutztown, Pennsylvania for the event, played trumpet.
His other
son, Jeremy Lefurge, a Lenape Valley High School senior played alto and baritone sax. Rosalie Lefurge, mother
and wife, completed the Lefurge family Jazz Ensemble,
playing her clarinet when she joined her family in the jazz
classic "American Patrol."

ents that God has given you to share with
and inspire others, said Lefurge.
Having my sons and wife play music with
me and share it in church worship or at
church events means so much. It is one very
meaningful way we can bless our church
and community by sharing of ourselves.
Worship that Sunday was as lively as
was the breakfast. For Zaremba, who
arrived last
July, this was her first church Mardi
Gras. She admitted that she didnt know
what to expect.
I loved it! said Zaremba. I grew up
with big bands, jazz music so the music
brought back wonderful memories. My dad
had played with the Glenn Miller bands for
a short time in his late teens or early 20's. I
loved that Scott Lefurge would read to us
the history of the hymn and then the five
piece band would jazz it up!
The congregation was invited to feel the
music: sing, clap, sway, dance.whatever
the Holy Spirit moved them to do. Among
those there was the District Superintendent
of the Skylands District of the United

Methodist Church, The Rev. Dr. Stephen
Bechtold, who had stopped by, not knowing
that Sunday Jazz was in the air. The songs
that Sunday included two of Lefurges
favorites: "Just a Closer Walk With Thee"
and "What a Wonderful World" made
famous by Louis Armstrong. Even the frigid
temperature and snow could not keep people away and Lefurge said the church was
happy so many came out.
For those that couldnt make it this year,
Lefurge hopes theyll mark down the
Sunday before Ash Wednesday next year
and come to the Mardi Gras.
Stanhope United Methodist Church
tries to bring the love of God to all we
meet, said Zaremba. The Mardi Gras
breakfast and Jazz Worship Service are
ways we share God's love with our community.

Blood Reserves Challenged

by Patient DemandO-Negative Blood
a Constant Challenge
ew Jersey Blood Services is conducting local blood drives which

are open to the public. The following drives are scheduled in the near future:
March 19- St. Francis Health Resort,
Denville 1 p.m. to 7 p.m.
March 22- Seventh Day Adventist
Church, Dover 8 a.m. to 2 p.m.
March 30- Knights of Columbus,
Netcong 3 p.m. to 9 p.m.
New Jersey Blood Services, a division
of New York Blood Center (NYBC) is asking for help to maintain an adequate supply
of all blood types, but especially O-negative the universal blood which can be
transfused into anyone in an emergency. In
addition, hundreds of additional blood
drives need to be scheduled to meet projected hospital demand. Current inventory
of several blood types is running below the
desired target level.
Its simple: hospital patient demand
for blood often outpaces our best efforts to
recruit donors and schedule blood drives,
said NYBC Executive Director of Donor
Recruitment Andrea Cefarelli. There are
always reasons but we have to overcome
that for the sake of hospital patients who

need us.
This is one of the toughest times of the
year, Cefarelli added. Were asking for
our dedicated supporters to roll up their
sleeves to make sure were able to provide
our hospital partners with whatever they
need to take care of their patients.
Blood products have a short shelf life
from five to 42 days, so constant replenishment is necessary. Each and every day
there are patients who depend on the transfusion of red blood cells, platelets and plasma to stay alive. But blood and blood products cant be manufactured. They can only
come from volunteer blood donors who
take an hour to attend a blood drive or visit
a donor center.
To donate blood or for information on
how to organize a blood drive call 1-800933-2566; Visit: www.nybloodcenter.org.
Any company, community organization,
place of worship, or individual may host a
blood drive. NYBC also offers special
community service scholarships for students who organize community blood
drive.

Area Singers Unite For Palm Sunday Concert
By Elsie Walker
hile a Requiem is about death, composer Gabriel
Faure put a special twist on his that is reflective of
Christians marking of Palm Sunday and the
beginning of Holy Week. A program note from the
Symphony Silicon Valley states, Rather than taking a predominantly fearful or mournful tone, the work reflects his
belief that death releases us into harmony with all creation.
Faures Requiem, along with other pieces, will be performed Palm Sunday, March 29, at 4 p.m., by a Unity Choir
made up of people from a variety of area churches. Held at
the First United Methodist Church of Newton, the choir will
be directed by Henry Repp of Netcong, who is also the
organist. The soloists will Tom Carle of Randolph, tenor;
Rev. David Young, Newton, bass; Cassandra Marie Lambros,
Artist-in-Residence at Westfield Presbyterian Church, soprano and violin soloist; and playing the harp will be Andr
Tarantiles of New York City.
All are welcome to attend. A free will offering will be
taken and there will be a reception following the concert.
While the main work is the Requiem (with Lambros and
Young as soloists), a number of other pieces will be performed. Those include Cantique de Jean Racine, which is
also by Faure and will be sung by the choir with harp and
organ accompaniment. Another Faure work performed will
be Tantum, sung by the choir with solo by Carle and harp
and organ. An instrumental piece, Elegy by Harold
Friedell will feature organ, harp, and violin. Anthems performed will be Evening Hymn by Gardiner and Abide With
Me arranged by Bertalot.
The members of the Unity Choir represent 27 different
churches. Those nearby churches include Christ Episcopal
Church, Budd Lake; Community Presbyterian Church,
Chester; First Memorial Presbyterian Church, Dover; Hilltop
Presbyterian Church, Mendham; First Presbyterian Church,
Succasunna; Succasunna United Methodist Church,
Succasunna; Holy Trinity Orthodox Church, Randolph;
Grace Church on the Mount, Netcong; Holy Trinity
Orthodox Church, Randolph; Our Lady of the Lake Roman
Catholic Church, Mt. Arlington; Panther Valley Ecumenical
Church, Hackettstown; Sacred Heart Roman Catholic
Church, Dover; St. Matthew the Apostle Roman Catholic
Church, Randolph; and Trinity United Methodist Church,
Hackettstown.
Ed and Karen Burkhart of Budd Lakes sing in the choir.
Ed Burkhart is a tenor, while Karen Burkhart is an alto. She
shared, We enjoy singing in this choir because it gives us the
opportunity to sing more classically-oriented church music,
which we hadn't really done since our college days many
years ago, now. [Also,] we like this year's pieces because
they are challenging, without being frustrating, and [are]
beautiful as well.
The Burkharts also shared that they enjoy singing with
people from all over the area, and that the experience has
lead them to meet and sing with many excellent musicians.
That sentiment was echoed by Audrey Schultz of
Randolph. Schultz, an alto in the choir and music director of
the Succasunna United Methodist Church, said I love get-
ting together with fellow musicians to do major choral works

like the Faure Requiem.
Henry Repp, besides being a top-notch organist, recruits
wonderful soloists and other instrumentalists. When you add
to that experienced choral singers from various churches and
other choral groups, a work of art comes to life rather quickly. Being able to present this in performance, giving enjoyment to other music lovers, is a plus.
The concerts director, Repp, has been a church organist
for 48 years as well the director of several choral groups.
That experience is appreciated by those in the choir.
Having the opportunity to sing classical sacred music
with the Unity Choir under the direction of Henry Repp is a
wish fulfillment of many years for me, said Marilyn
Gunther, a soprano from Trinity United Methodist Church in
Hackettstown. I have sung the Requiem in the past, many
years ago. Doing it now with this excellent choir under
Henrys precise and disciplined
direction has been exhilarating and humbling. Henry
requires excellence. The face he shows his choir is always
smiling with a touch of benevolence peeking through. I am
blessed by this experience.
Repps experience takes in a variety of venues. He began
his organ studies with Alfred Mayer of Morristown and continued with Dorothe Lanning at First Memorial Presbyterian
Church in Dover. He pursued advanced study with Robert
MacDonald at the Riverside Church in New York City and
the Cathedral Basilica of the Sacred Heart in Newark. Repp

University Opera Company where he has
performed roles in 21st century chamber
operas, such as Le Comte de La Tour
Tourne in Jeremy Beck's "The Review "and
the role of Tenor II in "Introductions and
Goodbyes" by Lukas Foss. In addition, Carle
has portrayed characters from more standard
repertoire; such as the Witch in
Humperdinck's "Hansel and Gretel" and
Tamino in Mozart's "The Magic Flute."
In addition to solo opera and oratorio

was organist at First Memorial Presbyterian
Church in Dover for 13 years before accepting the position of organist/choir director at
Peapack Reformed Church in Gladstone
where he served for 29 years. Repp became

Methodist Church in Newton in Sept. 2012.
He was accompanist for the Sussex County
Oratorio Society for 11 years and played for
the Livingston Festival Choir Concerts and
the Livingston Broadway Show Tunes

Revues. He was organist, and sometimes
organist/director, for the Pike County Choral
Society for 10 years. In addition, he has performed numerous organ concerts on a variety
of organs including ones at St. Thomas
Church in Manhattan and the Cathedral
Basilica of the Sacred Heart in Newark.
Looking to the vocal soloists for the concert, they have a variety of backgrounds as
well. Tenor Carle has sung with the Bucknell
repertoire, Carle sings with countless ensembles. He has been a featured soloist for the
Susquehanna Valley Chorale, Rooke Chapel
Choir, and Bucknell University Chorale.
These groups have toured from Italy to
Croatia, Slovenia, and Montenegro.
Rev. David Young is the pastor of First
Presbyterian Church in Newton. His music
background includes a Bachelor of Music in
vocal performance from The College of
Wooster in Wooster, OH.

Global Movement Underway To Heal, Strengthen Families And Communities
by Cheryl Conway
upport groups for families, and children, facing issues are growing in the
area as fast as the green grass and
flower buds this spring.
Family Alliance Foundation is a new
nonprofit corporation in New Jersey with a
legacy that is expanding and support groups
forming throughout the area, with divisions
and chapters soon to be spreading throughout the world.
The goal of the alliance is to serve as
advocates for those facing issues and provide solutions whether through support
groups or steering them in the direction for
help and change. The organization is
launching its global movement to heal and
strengthen families and communities.
Our world is in crisis, say the founders
of the alliance. Families are divided,
divorced and in need of healing. Our children are in need of compassion, empathy
and resources to make them whole. We are
advocates who provide solutions through
programs that include education, inspiration
and motivation. We collaborate with other
entities who provide food, shelter, clothing
and other resources that help people move
from survive to thrive.
Established in Nov. 2014, the foundations purpose is to educate and inspire
families to grow mentally, physically, financially and spiritually and have them leave a
legacy for all future generations to come,
as stated on the website.
To implement their vision, Dr. Ted
Fattoross, Dr. Debra Brooks and Ginny
Gutierrez have partnered to create the foundation, bringing their knowledge of speaking, counseling and marketing.
We all know someone whose family is
in crisis, they say. The breakdown of our
society and the fundamental reason our systems are broken, is the breakdown of our
families.
Whether it involves family issues,
divorce issues, alienation, bullying, We
will become the support group, says
Fattoross, chief executive officer and
founder of the Family Alliance Foundation.
As parents and grandparents, each of us
is charged with the mission of raising our
children to do good in the world, organizers say. Today, as we look to our own community, there is a need to heal and strengthen our families, as the core of a strong society are strong families.
We will be having legs, says Fattoross.
We arent stationary or stagnant. The

foundation has created a Legacy program,
another division with chapters around the
world, including most recent chapters being
formed in Morristown and Denville.
Through Legacy we will have events
or support groups at various locations like
Panera Bread or local libraries. There will
be resources for websites steering where to
turn for help, as well as online support
groups.
We have an army of people signing up
to volunteer for these groups, he says. With
some form of counseling background or
expertise, Fattoross is looking for volunteers he will train to start a support group.
We want leaders of chapters of Family
Alliance Foundation all around the world,
says Fattoross, a well-known international
keynote speaker, seminar leader, coach and
consultant. Lets say you are traveling, you
can go to a facilitator there and get similar
support.
Support group topics will cover many
areas such as: family related issues like relationships, stress, values, ethics and parenting; parental and grandparent alienation;
sensitivity training and tolerance for anyone
involved with children, from caretakers,
police officers to judges; anti-bullying;
character education; teen pregnancy;
domestic violence and domestic silence;
conflict resolution and peer mediation;
career direction and job readiness; stress
and change management.
There are three initiatives of the foundation: family relationships- to educate and
inspire families to grow mentally, physically, financially, spiritually and abundantly;
parental alienation- to create awareness,
then educate, and eliminate this cancer to
society; and Judicial, government, legal and
law enforcement - to form an alliance with
the "systems" that are charged with the
responsibility to manage our children and
families, to collaborate through programs as
a means to foster a deeper sensitivity to the
needs of everyone while always having the
best interest of the children in mind.
Many issues faced by children, such as
anti-bullying and suicide, can be reduced if
they had the proper role models at home,
says Fattoross.
If the children dont find the heroes at
the dinner table, they will find them in the
street, he says. It all starts in the home. No
child was ever born a bully.
Children, they might do as we say, they

might do as we do, says Fattoross. A hero

is not a dad who makes a million dollars. A
hero is a dad or a mom who gave up their
scholarships so they can be home with their
mother who has cancer, so they ended up
flipping burgers rather than going to NYU.
Its not how much gold we leave our
children thats important; its how little baggage we pass on to them that truly matters,
says Fattoross, 57, father of three kids who
calls himself a recovering work-a-holic.
Noted as having the worlds record of
the largest number of speaking presentations, Fattoross spends a great deal of time
discussing the issues and delivering motivational speeches to various audiences from
schools to prisons, corporations and even
homeless shelters.
He has spent the last 25 years presenting
8,500 speaking presentations throughout the
world, inspiring more than 250,000 people
each year to be the best they can be. He
has covered 2,000 topics from character
education, values and ethics, anti-bullying
programs, leadership and teamwork; featured on national television, radio programs
and newspapers; and served on the advisory
boards of Fortune 500 companies, government, non-profit and educational agencies.
Through all his work and knowledge,
Fattoross decided it was time to pay this

forward. He joined forces with Dr. Debra
Brooks, executive director of the foundation, who works in Washington, DC, as a
counselor dealing with issues from teen
pregnancy, family, divorce and separation;
as well as Ginny Gutierrez, foundation president, who specializes in marketing and
research.
Fattoross says we have a moral obligation to help each other. I believe that when
we go through struggle, we have a moral
obligation to tell our story, to have our victory lift up others to give them the opportunity to escape their personal crises. There is
purpose in our pain.
He notes that the message he is trying to
share is not limited to my time, my
resources, my ability but will instead rely
on an army of individuals whose support
groups around the world can support,
encourage and inspire, resolve issues and
problems that we face as a global community.
For more information, go to www.familyalliance.org; or call 609-772-7407. The
foundation is hiring mentors, leaders,
coaches, consultants and counselors to run
support groups, and is always in need of
volunteers.
Editorial
by Cheryl Conway
Our Muscles Do Matter
ne freezing morning down at the bus stop, a day

after one of the stormswith so many piled on top
of the other they all blended in after a while my
two little boys and I were quite entertained watching our
neighbor try to push up another neighbors car stuck in the
driveway.
While pushing her car from behind, she pressed on the
gas pedal; he would stop, shovel under her tires attempting
to get the car to budge.
After my boys got on the bus, I turn my car around to
drive back up my street, but stop in the middle of the road
to watch my neighbor continue his quest to get that car up
the driveway. With my coffee brewing at home, I was eager
to get my day started but felt bad just leaving the two out in
the cold stuck in the snow.
As hesitant as I was, I rolled down my window and
asked if he needed my help, thinking how would feeble, little me make a difference helping to push a car up a snowcovered icy driveway? He replied, with a smirk as I recall,
saying you can help if you want but then continued on his
mission. So I sat there a few more minutes with my heat
blasting, window rolled down, thinking Ok, Im wearing
my slip on sneakers, no gloves, I will have no value add
whatsoever. But how do I just drive off- isnt that plain
rude?
A few more minutes go by. My neighbor had to be out
there for at least 30 minutes, working up a sweat, pushing,
shoveling, trying to help the neighbors nanny. So I ask

again, you want me to help? I can try.
I get out of my car, walk on over and warn him of my
slip on sneakers so I will probably slide. With me on the
right, and he on the left, we push from the rear of the car,
and with one push, the nanny presses on the gas, and vwah
la.. the car is up her driveway! I throw my hands up like I
just won a 5K. It was thrilling! The nanny gets out of the
car, introductions are exchanged, she gives me a hug and
Im on my way.
So what? Some of you may be thinking.
Many women my age may feel a sense of weakness or
insecurity that their muscles do not matter. I often feel that
way, especially when I cant open a jar of mayonnaise, and
then with one try my 14-year old cranks it open. But, after
this one experience, I am certain more than ever that our
muscles do matter, no matter how weak we think we may
be. My little push, support from the right side, made all the
difference.
As an aerobics instructor and student at the Mt. Olive
Recreation Exercise Program, I keep my heart strong
through regular cardiovascular exercise, as well as my muscles with repeated weight training exercises. Studies have
shown that more muscle helps to burn more fat; and experts
suggest that every 30 minutes of cardio exercise should be
matched with weight bearing exercise.
Working out with weights strengthens muscles, helps
prevent osteoporosis, and can surely build self-esteem.

While walking is great, or running, jumping rope and
aerobics to burn calories and fat, using hand held weights
will build muscles to keep the body strong. Find an exercise program that incorporates hand held weights during
workout routines, or takes the time for push-ups.
I personally prefer the exercise program through Mt.
Olive Recreation because my workouts surround me with
my peers, ladies my age, with similar interests and exercise
goals, and at the same time, Im supporting the town as proceeds from recreational programs fund various town projects and programs.
Check out http://mountolivetownship.com/rec_fitness
_sports.html#exercise. Click on the link for the Mt Olive
Exercise Program www.mtoliverecreation.com to sign up.
The best part of my weight bearing story was when the
nanny knocked on my front door later that day. When I
answered, she asked me, Is the woman here who helped
push up my car? I looked at her, dumbfounded and said,
yes, hi, that was me. Guess I looked a little different from
the morning when I had on my big, dark sunglasses, hat and
oversized fleece coat. Who would believe that the person
under that disguise was a five-foot, one third inch, 120pound (give or take a few) woman? As she hands me a box
of chocolates, I say you shouldnt have, thanks me again,
and is on her way.

4 Myths Regarding Dental Implants
very day I meet people who come to

me seeking solutions for missing
teeth, infected teeth, dentures, or who
simply want to improve their smile. Dental
implants almost always come into the discussion. Over the years, I regularly see certain
misconceptions repeat themselves.
Myth #1: My dentist told me I have to see
a specialist / implant specialist.
Dental implants may be placed by any
dentist who holds a license. They are not a
specialty. Typically, they are placed by gen-
eral dentists, oral surgeons, periodontists, and

prosthodontists.
Its not so important as to what type of
dentist places them, but rather how much
training and experience they have. Also,
dont forget that there is a second part to the
implant once it is placed, one or more teeth
have to be placed on top of the implant. If an
implant is placed while ignoring this second
part of the treatment, disastrous results may
follow, such as bone loss, implant loss, fracture, and poor esthetics. I have had to correct

situations like this too often.

Myth #2: My friend had an implant
placed for a certain amount, and your quote is
much more!
When comparing fees, be sure you are
comparing apples to apples. Your situation
may be different than your friends. Some
conditions to evaluate include: 1) Is a tooth
already present where the implant needs to be
placed? This will require more work and
materials. 2) Is there enough bone present, or
is grafting required to grow the bone? 3)
Location in the mouth is very important. An
implant in the front of the mouth has a much
higher esthetic demand than the back of the
mouth. This will affect cost as well. The
more ideal the situation, the lower the cost.
Myth #3: Its always better to keep a natural tooth than to remove it and place an
implant.
When a tooth has been diagnosed with a
very poor prognosis, it is not always better to
hang onto it. Recurring infections can develop which cost time and money, the disease
can affect adjacent teeth, and over time, they
can cause additional bone loss. Removing
infected teeth and placing an implant can
eliminate the recurring infections, restore
health to adjacent teeth, and preserve bone in
your jaw.
Myth #4: Once I have an implant, I dont

have to see the dentist anymore.
This is not true. Although problems with
implants are rare, they require observation
and maintenance. Most of the time problems
will develop within the first two years.
Failure to recognize and correct these problems often leads to implant loss, and worse,
loss of adjacent teeth. Expect to return to the
dentist 3 to 4 times within the first two years
for maintenance.

Thomas Edison Helped Promote The

Legendary Sharpshooter Annie Oakley
In 1889 With 20th Century Technology
by Michele Guttenberger
homas Edison had
the opportunity of an
extraordinary social
meet up with other great legends whom also would
become famous New Jersey
residents. However, this
breakfast
legendary
encounter was not in a celebrated New Jersey haunt.
Thomas Edison had his first
meet-up with Annie Oakley
in Paris. They both were
attending the 1889 Paris
Exposition as American
celebrities that were commemorating the 100th
anniversary of the French
Revolution. He was the
world renowned attraction
with his electric incandescent light bulb invention and
she for being the top star
attraction of the Paris Wild
West Show. Both Edison
and Oakley were impressed
with each others demonstrated accomplishments.
Thomas Edison had
recently patented the movie
camera (the Kinetograph)
and Annie Oakleys sharpshooting magic were wondrous moments that this new
invention could capture and
have replayed forever.
Thomas Edison envisioned
the smoke and the bullets of
her spectacular exhibition as
a future event to record on
his movie camera invention.
At the Paris breakfast table,
Annie Oakley voiced how
she wished guns had less
smoke with their punch and
asked Edison if he would
consider inventing an electric gun so she would not
have to deal with messy
gunpowder.
Thomas Edison did not
help invent a better firearm

for Oakley. However, he did
help
improve
Annie
Oakleys Wild West Show
by inventing electric power
stations that generated the
electricity to light the incandescent bulbs that lit up the
Wild West Shows theater
for their evening performances in the final decade of
the 19th Century.
After Annie Oakleys
sharpshooting Wild West
tour of Europe, the star of
the show continued on with
the Wild West Tour in
Brooklyn New York in
1894. Annie Oakley had
also settled into her home in
Nutley New Jersey that she
and her husband Frank
Butler purchased in 1892.
Her famous sharpshooting
husband had become another lost contender to Annie
Oakleys high caliber shooting record. It did not take
much
convincing
to
acknowledge that she was
an American icon and Butler
quickly became her manager
and made sure she received
top billing. Thomas Edison
also wanted her to be a
celebrity draw for his new
movie parlors (later to be

called nickelodeons). In the
fall of 1894 Annie Oakleys
sharpshooting show was
caught on film by Edisons
Kinetograph camera. Annie
Oakley stopped by his
movie studio in West
Orange, New Jersey that had
been nicked named the
Black Maria. On November
1, 1894 video film history
was made when she did her
sharp shooting demonstration for a 21 second film never missing a target flung
in midair. With her diminutive stature, she was billed
as "Little Sure Shot." This
film is part of the historical
film collection at the Library
of
Congress
