MOHS Girls Cross Country Finish On Top
By Cheryl Conway irls on the Mt. Olive High School Cross Country Varsity Team were recognized last month at the district school board meeting for their amazing season and being crowned State Champs. The MOHS Girls Cross Country Team won the State Championship event on Nov. 16, in Holmdel-only the second time in school history to achieve such greatness. The Marauders were state champions back in 1989. This season, the girls squad also achieved Conference Champions the third year in row; placed second in the County Championship; repeated State Sectional Champs for 14 years in a row; and placed eighth at the Meet of Champions against 20 teams. Dedication by the runners and a strong coaching staff were recognized as reasons for the teams success. The coaches could not be more proud. After the North 1, Group Three State Meet on Nov. 16 at Holmdel State Park, when
his team was named State Champion, head coach Mike Behre, who coaches both the boys and girls MOHS cross country teams, was elated. I probably cried for two days, says Behre, when his girls won, from sheer joy from what they accomplished. Being with them over the last two years has been special and watching them grow into such a force. When they were freshmen they could barely run from the high school to Tinc Rd. School. To win the state championship, the girls had to qualify and then compete against 20 teams. They won by 18 points, says Behre. Last year, the Marauders came in fifth place. We are pretty good, says Behre. The girls cross country season ran from mid August until Nov. 30, when the last meet- the Nike Cross Country Regionals was held in New York. Ten girls made up the
MOHS girls varsity team this year, of which four were seniors; five were juniors; and one sophomore. At each meet, participants run a 5K or 3.1 miles. Out of its regular conference meetsMOHS participates in the North Jersey Athletic Conference American Division- the Marauders won seven of its dual meets in a row, says Behre. It has been the repeat Conference Champions for the third year in a row, winning 21 dual meets consecutively. One of its goals this year was to cinch the County Championship title. MOHS competed in the county meet on Oct. 29 against 21 teams and came in second losing first place against Randolph. In the North 1 Group 3 State Sectional this year, MOHS won by 10 points, an accomplishment from last year when they continued on page 6

nearly 3-fold over the past two years," noted King. "This is due to the timeless effort of the Board of Directors and Trustees, under the leadership of Greg Stewart.

A New Year, A New You- Enter MO Big Losers Contest

because many people tend to gain weight during winter celebrations. Holiday dinners from soup to dessert and all the trimmings in between, as well as cookie exchanges, eggnog, wine and even potato latkes can add calories to anyones typical daily diet. Historically people gain three to ten pounds over the holidays, says head instructor Laura Hars, organizer of the MO Exercise Biggest Losers contest, well actually starting around Halloween. So January is the perfect time to start trying to lose some of that weight and give yourself enough time to get ready to put on that bathing suit in June. This year, Hars decided to kick off the contest a few weeks into January so ladies can be ready. I am giving people a few weeks to plan how they want to accomplish their weight loss and to select a particular diet, says Hars who has been running the contest through Mt. Olive Recreation since 2010. During the month of January we will have some "pre-contest" meetings where we will have those interested come and ask their questions and plan their diet and exercise routine. We will have our baseline weigh in on Jan. 25 and the first official weigh in will actually be Feb. 1. The same scale, although not certified sealed, will be used for consistency throughout the program. The contest which will run over a 13 week period this year has been successful allowing ladies to challenge themselves with goals resulting in significant loss in both weight and inches. More importantly it has allowed ladies to get on track with better fitness, healthier eating and exercise. Participants will attend hourly exercise classes taught by five different instructors featuring various workouts that include step aerobics, Zumba, cardio blast, butts and
Like us on facebook www.facebook.com/mypaperonline Tell Them You Saw It In The Mt. Olive News, January 2014, Page 5 guts, pilates, boot camp, kickbox, stability ball, toning with weights and more. Contestants will weigh and measure in weekly and results will be held confidentially by Hars. Looking back at previous years, Hars says the most weight lost by one person during the contest was 20 pounds. An average person could expect to lose 15 pounds over the 13 week period, she says. A pound a week is about average, says Hars. For those who strictly follow a diet and faithfully attend a cardio workout class 4X a week, they could lose up to 15 pounds. Hars plans to hold weekly meetings at the senior center to help support ladies and discuss issues. In previous years we have had weekly support meetings but we were not consistent because we really needed to use some "online" calorie counting program and we had to meet in the MO Public Library, explains Hars. This year is different because the Senior Center where we hold the classes has Wi-Fi so we can have a meeting there and use our laptops. There are many on-line support tools for weight loss so we will be able to tap into that now that we can bring our computers or mobile devices to the meetings. continued on next page 10

continued from front page had one by only three points, says Behre. MOHS girls cross country has won its state sectional for the past 14 years since 1978. Behre credits his teams success to their dedication and maturity over the years. The girls matured to a certain point, says Behre. They ran as a pact mentally. They set the tone in the summer; they had a bad taste in their mouth after coming in fifth for the group meet last year. The girls did more in preseason that theyve done before. They had run more than 400 miles before the Randolph meet, which was the first meet in September. They would run almost everyday over the summer, averaging about 40 miles every week. All four seniors are looking into running at the next level for a D1 program, he says. I would love to continue my running career in college and have been looking into it, as have my senior teammates, says Sara Christian of Flanders, one of the four team captains. Christian, who started running cross country her freshman year, says being on the team has been one of her best experiences of high school. My experience on the cross country team is one I would not trade because it was the best experience I could have asked for out of high school, says Christian. The

aspect of cross country I enjoy the most is the team. We have great chemistry and motivate each other to work hard every day in practice. Everyone is dedicated, and the fun personalities of every team member make practices enjoyable. Christian says the success of the team this season would not have been possible without the dedication of every girl and the dedication of our outstanding coaches, Mr. Behre and Mr. Romano. We couldn't have asked for a better coaching staff. They were extremely motivating and helped to make practice enjoyable every day. Her advice for future runners of MOHS Girls Cross Country is do not take any day for granted. Running cross country was my favorite part of high school, but the effort you put in directly impacts the result of the season. Dedication to improvement is necessary for success in cross country, so make sure to put your full effort into every practice, and listen to your coaches, who ultimately know best how to help you succeed. Behre is confident that next years team can be successful too. We are going to try to reload, says Behre. We have pretty good eighth graders coming up. Even the girls that we are losing, with the girls behind us, were still going to be competitive.

MO Officials Campaign For More Recycling

system began in Mt. Olive on Dec. 2, 2013, about 100 homeowners have expressed concern and inquired about how they can receive an additional can, says Canning. Since the 1980s, New Jersey has been a mandatory recycling state, adds Canning. Residents in Mt. Olive need to comply with state law. This is nothing new. We need to enforce; need to educate to be in compliance with NJ state law. You have to take out those boxes, says Canning, from garbage cans. Were paying a lot of extra dollars in garbage going to the landfill. Canning suggests that homeowners pay more attention to the recycling codes on plastics. All plastic items contain a triangle with a coding numbered from one to seven that outline its type of plastic and how it is used after it is recycled. In referring to a Good Housekeeping article, What Do Recycling Codes on Plastics Mean, Canning points out the different types of plastics and hopes to distribute the information in a flyer to residents to raise awareness on what they should be recycling. Number 1 Plastics, for example are soft drink, water and beer bottles, peanut butter containers, and dressing and vegetable oil containers. Number 2 Plastics are items such as milk jugs, juice bottles, household cleaner bottles, cereal box liners, shampoo bottles, according to the article. For a full list and description of plastics from one to seven, go to http://www.goodhousekeeping.com/home/ green-living/recycling-symbols-plastics-460321#slide-1. Besides plastics, fibers are also recycled and include items such as paper cups, newspapers and cardboard. Newspapers and cardboard boxes can be tied and bundled for pick up. Canning suggests placing other fiber items such as paper cups into a paper bag for pick up with the recyclable items.
Like us on facebook www.facebook.com/mypaperonline Tell Them You Saw It In The Mt. Olive News, January 2014, Page 9 The more tons that are recycled, the more money the township receives from recycling receivers, says Canning. The township receives anywhere from $33 to $65 per ton on fiber materials such as paper and cardboard. It gets paid on its plastics as well, he says, but not as much money per ton. While there is no limit on the amount garbage townships can dump, Mt. Olive has to pay an MUA fee of $93.92 per ton on garbage dumped at the Municipal Utilities Transfer Station. Canning estimated 13 tons of garbage on each truck; and with three or four garbage trucks a day for pick up, that can add up to $3,000 to $4,000. If theres recycling in there like pizza boxes thats wet, we pay for that, says Canning. Were paying a lot of extra dollars in garbage going to the landfill. The township can save $100,000 in solid waste next year if everyone recycles correctly. If you recycle properly, it adds up, it really does. The township switched over to the new garbage pick-up system at the end of 2013. After six years of consideration, the MO Department of Public Works had proposed the idea to the township. The new system is estimated to reduce costs in manpower and workmens compensation cases. Approved in April 2013 by the Mt. Olive Township Council, the One Arm Bandit Garbage System involves the use of three automated trash packer trucks that operate with an automated arm to lift the garbage cans, dump the garbage into its compartment and then set back down. All homeowners have been given a 96-gallon garbage can for curbside garbage pick-up. The one large can replaces the three 34-gallon cans that had been allowed at their curbside according to the previous ordinance. Senior citizens and residents with disabilities were given smaller 65 gallon containers.
By Cheryl Conway ecycling more will not only reduce the amount of garbage local homeowners place in their new 96 gallon cans but will bring in some additional monies to the town. The new One Arm Bandit Garbage system is in full swing in Mt. Olive, and has been quite successful so far. There are some residents, however, requesting additional cans from the township because they can not fit all their garbage into the one 96 gallon can. The solution may be that residents need to recycle more rather than throwing recyclable items such as cardboard boxes, papers and plastics into their garbage. By learning more about what items can be recycled, homeowners will reduce their garbage load, help the town spend less in Morris County Municipal Utilities Authority (MUA) tipping fees on garbage and bring in more money from recycling receivers, say town officials. More education is needed, says Sean Canning, Mt. Olive Township Business Administrator, regarding recycling. If you recycle properly your garbage will be drastically reduced. Its all packaging. If its a can, empty it and recycle it. Smash down milk cartons. Township officials are initiating an educational campaign to raise awareness regarding appropriate recycling practices, says Canning. Warning stickers are being placed on offenders garbage cans so all homeowners are aware of which items need to be recycled. For those who do not comply, garbage may eventually be left behind with stickers saying they have to recycle, says Canning. According to a local ordinance, only 100 gallons of garbage per household is allowed for weekly pick up. To comply, homeowners are allowed only one 96 gallon can to place for curbside pick-up. Since the new garbage pick-up

New Hot Dance Class Cookin In Mt. Olive

Created by a dance guru in Philadelphia, Red Hot Dance Fitness has now made its way to NJ thanks to a local instructor who was looking for a different form of cardio dance to bring to Mt. Olive. I have had so many people ask about doing classes in Dance Fitness, says Judy Brown of Budd Lake. As a Zumba dance instructor since 2011, Brown says she had been searching for something different to bring to Mt. Olive. Then I found Red Hot Dance Fitness! Dance, sweat, and burn calories. It is so awesome to lead classes with adults in a dance atmosphere because you get lost in the music and before you know it, an hour has past and you've gotten this fantastic workout while having fun. As described on the Red Hot Dance Fitness website, Beginners build confidence with easy to follow dance moves set to your favorite songs, while more difficult choreography is layered in so the advanced dancer can be challenged. Red Hot Dance is An invigorating, exhilarating, liberating and calorie burning dance party that will have you addicted from the first beat! Red Hot was voted Philadelphia Magazine's Be Well Philly 2013- Best Dance Inspired Workout, notes Brown. In Feb. 2012, Brown traveled to Philadelphia to get certified to teach Red Hot Dance Fitness. But teaching dance is nothing new to Brown, a long-time instructor of childrens dance classes through Mt. Olive recreation and area dance programs. My teaching started back in 2001 when my own daughter was dancing for the first time, says Brown. I filled in at her dance class as a 'substitute' for a day and had so much fun. I had such a love for sharing dance with the children. I went on to take numerous training classes and worked

What is so fantastic about Mt. Olive Recreation programs is that you do not have to live here in order to take classes. I've had hundreds of students from not only Mt. Olive, but Roxbury, Hackettstown, Hopatcong and surrounding areas. Brown has also taught dance, cheer and gymnastics classes for recreation in all four of Mt. Olives Elementary schools over the years. For the past two years, she was asked to do hip hop classes for the children in the after-school programs as well. In the spring, Brown plans to add classes for two to three year olds along with parent and child outdoor music/dance and fitness classes on the new Mt. Playmore at Turkey Brook Park.

Sammy then told the students they did not have to be one or the other, they could be super smart, popular and have many friends and not let their peers put them in a category. Her goal is to become an aerospace engineer and possibly work for NASA. The two titleholders then went to the Mt. View School for an informal meet and greet with the students in the deaf/hard of hearing class. Ellen and Samantha introduced themselves, and they joined the students who were working on a Thanksgiving craft project. Ellen showed the kids her hearing aids and told them how important it is for them to wear them every day. Ellen then pulled up the recording of her dance at Miss New Jersey and showed it on the Smart Board in the classroom to the students. The students watched very intently and would look at Ellen and back at the Smart Board and clap and squeal. It was a wonderful experience for both the titleholders and students at both schools. As one of the Executive Directors for the Miss New Jersey/Miss America Scholarship Foundation, and an employee of Mt. Olive, it seemed like an excellent idea to promote

Ellens platform Overcoming Obstacles was presented as an interactive activity with the students. She asked for 15 volunteers to come up on the stage and to stand at the back of the stage, and told them to think of their goal in life. Ellen then stood at the front of the stage and told them she represented their goal. Ellen then read a series of statements and the students were to move a number of steps either forward or back. At the completion each of the students were at
varying places from where they began, yet none of them reached her or their goal. The message was, not to get discouraged, keep working to reach/attain their goal. The next presenter, Samantha Rizzuto, Miss Liberty Outstanding Teen stated that her platform is Balancing the Equation. She asked the students if they were familiar with the Big Bang Theory. The students were very familiar and eager to volunteer to come up to describe two of the main characters, Penny and Sheldon of that show. Sammy, then compared herself to these two characters. She told the students a few facts about herself, she attends a special Academy for Math/Sciences and she is pro-

Respect, Humility, Patience, Perseverance, and great deal of Courage. Parkour Explore, created by Adam McClellen, is designed to impart these values in the minds and hearts of children, in a way that sticks. Since children respond best to things that are fun, involve achievement, learning, and most of all, creativity and movement, Parkour naturally carries all of these components. While Parkour was developed by a group of young men, its popularity has spread among both male and female; novices as well as seasoned athletes. On February 8, 2014, CS Gymnastics will be hosting a one day Parkour Explore clinic to reintroduce the sport to our community. Guest Clinician, Adam McClellen, Director and instructor of Parkour Explore in Allentown, PA will be leading and demonstrating an exciting afternoon of instruction in Parkour Explore fashion.

Garden Blooms Healthier Eaters At Tinc School

The garden has been a community effort with support from the PTO and school administrators, says McDonald. I love the idea of the garden, says Dr. Richard Fair, school principal. It gives the students a "hands-on" opportunity to see how their education regarding plant growth works in real life and real time. The garden was absolutely a positive experience for students and staff alike, says Fair. I am very appreciative of all the parents that pitched in and made the garden project work so well. It is a wonderful example of school and community working together to provide a rich and authentic learning experience for our students. Financial support came from the community as well. The Tinc Rd. School PTO was awarded two grants to support its garden program. Margaret Noon, President of Slow Food NNJ and a farm owner in Budd Lake, awarded $800 worth of materials in the fall of 2012 and has served as an advisor to the PTO suggesting what types of seeds to plant. The PTO used these funds to purchase a Deer fence, three raised beds and soil. Whole Foods awarded a $2,000 grant in the spring of 2013 to will help sustain the program another year and expand the garden with more beds and a small, portable green house so students can start seedlings earlier in the year. Other donations came from Tim Quinn, director of Public Works in Mt. Olive, who gave wood chips that surround the beds; and Struble Brothers Landscaping in Hopatcong who gave a truck load of organic soil. Its been a great community effort all around, says McDonald, who hopes to see the garden grow even more. We would like to grow little by little each year, says McDonald, and try to get more grades involved. The first and second graders planted seeds in April 2013 that harvested radishes, spinach and carrots in June. The continued on next page
By Cheryl Conway omething new is growing in town and it has students eating healthier and making better choices.
Although dormant for the winter, the Tinc Road School Garden has had two great harvests so far. Once the snow is gone, students and teachers are looking forward to adding six more beds to the spring harvest. Named the Golden Garden through a student majority vote, the new garden at Tinc Rd. School has been providing the elementary students with a hands-on learning experience about growing vegetables. We are trying to encourage healthier eating, says Daniella McDonald, PTO member and chair of the Green Committee, such as having children choose apples over the French fries. McDonald says The kids who grow and harvest their own food are more likely to try it. Kids are picky. Theyre enthusiastic to see what a seed turns into. The idea for the garden stems from the PTOs Green Committee and the Tinc Rd. School Principal Dr. Richard Fair. The role of the Green Committee is to encourage recycling and the garden program. We hoped to change the students attitude towards food, teaching them to make better choices, says McDonald. We gave them an opportunity to grow and eat their own vegetables and hopefully encouraged them to choose whole, natural foods over processed snack food. The Golden Garden- located in a sunny spot behind the school near the bus circle- began with its first harvest in the spring 2013. About five volunteers helped to build it and then some room moms helped to seed and harvest the garden. The students planted and harvested lettuce, spinach and radishes and some classes had salad parties with the produce they picked, says McDonald. In June, the fourth graders planted a Three-Sisters garden in two of the beds which connected them to their Social Studies lessons about the Lenape Indians in New Jersey, and science lesson on companion planting and how plants work together when they grow. The 5th and 4th grades harvested the Three-Sisters garden together in the fall and brought to life what they learned in the classroom, says McDonald. Over the summer, volunteers watered and weeded six raised beds that measured four feet by eight feet long and in September, the students harvested several varieties of beans, squash, pumpkins, chard and corn. This upcoming spring, organizers are looking into expanding the garden and adding six more beds. McDonald says the goal is to consider planting something quick growing that can harvest before school ends in June.

bean in a bag lesson so students can learn how bean sprouts open. For third grade, students may connect to the garden program through a science lesson. The garden is dormant for now, but some experts have visited the school in the interim. The Tinc Road School nurse has arranged visits from Diane Delany, a nutritionist from Atlantic Health, every six weeks to teach the second grade class about living a healthy lifestyle and making healthier eating choices to instill good eating habits early. David Scott, who manages the Goryeb kid-FIT program (Goryeb Childrens Hospital in Morristown) that assists families in making better lifestyle choices through nutrition and fitness, has also visited the school to meet with the PTO The students will then connect what theyve learned to the garden. Come the spring, we will rip old stuff out, buy more soil, refill the beds, get our team together, extend the deer fence, get our grant money together and more beds in there, says McDonald. Were set through the fall of next year.
eight classes had Salad Parties to enjoy what they grew. They were very excited to pick and eat those vegetables, says McDonald, who has a fifth and second grader at Tinc Rd. School. There wasnt one student who didnt want to try the spinach or a radish. It increased their enthusiasm rather than just having it purchased for them. All grade levels can connect the garden to the classroom. First graders learn parts of the plant. They can watch lettuce seeds in a classroom grow in a cup, then plant them in a garden to be harvested, and then eat them. You put a seed in the ground, it will grow, says McDonald who grows her own garden at home. Its pretty fascinating. The children just love it. Just learning where your food comes from, that it doesnt come from a plastic bag, gives them a new perspective on their vegetables. Also planned for second graders is a Veggie Day where students provide a classroom tasting of various types of fruits and vegetables some of which will have been harvested from the garden. For the kindergarten classes, McDonald says the PTO is thinking of arranging a

able for their dogs. The facility is equipped with special training equipment for the dogs, as well as a heated housing area with heavy duty safety fencing. Wall said the original facility was built with no taxpayer dollars, and Sgt. Mark Chiarolanza said the K-9 unit has seven officials, with an eighth serving our country in Afghanistan. Ridder-Irwin, a Harding Township resident, donated $80,000 toward the project, and others donated services and/or materials toward the construction of the facility, including Paul Cullen Plumbing, John Crimi, and Greg Spitzer, and Walter Morris. The dogs will live healthy, long lives in this top-notch facility, and they will be ready for their work out in the field. They will provide a great service to the county by sniffing out drugs, explosives, and fire accelerants, and help officials secure many situations which would otherwise be even more dangerous without the help of their dogs. The K-9 facility was designed with the best practices kept in mind - many of which were suggested by "Seeing Eye" of Morris Township. The K-9 facility features an air circulation system which keeps their living quarters clean and in better condition than perhaps what many homeowners can offer to their dogs, and it also features small doors at one end of their pens that allow dogs to get outside for fresh air. Officials can easily clean these pens and hose down floors when the dogs are let outside. In the end, the K-9 dogs get first-class treatment so
By Ejvind Boccolini he Morris County Sheriff's Office is considered a specialty organization which provides services to all municipalities in the county - and it does so with expertise and efficiency. Undersheriff Richard A. Wall, Bureau of Law Enforcement, and other officials from the sheriff's office met with the Morristown News last month, offering an inside look at the impressive facility that they run. This story is the second in an ongoing series about the Morris County Sheriff's Office, and it highlights the Emergency Services section of the sheriff's office. Undersheriff Wall offered a tour of the Barbara Ridder-Irwin K-9 Facility to start with, and it proved to be quite clean and comfort-

they can be at their best for their work in the field. Next, Chief Warrant Officer Howard Ryan offered a tour of the Evidence Processing Facility, and adjoining lab, where intricate work is done on crime scene materials and evidence. Sheriff Edward V. Rochford called Ryan one of the greatest crime scene investigators in the northeast. Ryan and his team of experts determine results
associated with everything from bullet fragments, fingerprints, DNA samples, blood samples, and much more. Ryan also serves as an educator for law enforcement officials around the nation. This is a great benefit to Morris County municipalities, which can send their officers to class "in county" - instead of having to pay for airfare and lodging so officers can attend class on the west coast or in the
south, for instance. Police chiefs in Morris County municipalities also do not "lose" their officers for, say, a week, because they had to travel a long distance for such a class. Ryan said the Morris County facility is state-ofthe-art, and the top-notch equipment and intricate processes that are the norm here, could certainly be equally baffling and impressive both at the same time to continued on next page

Jamie Rae offered insight on the Mobile Command Center and the Mobile Crime Lab, which provide sheriff's office officials with a safe, excellent communication network and portable crime lab while out in the field. The Mobile Crime Lab was funded by a grant from Homeland Security, and allows sheriff's office officials to process evidence quickly and effectively in the most pressing emergency situations. Doug Laird, who will be commander of the bomb squad

Olive News, January 2014, Page 23 unit come March, explained how their technical equipment helps them effectively process bomb threats, suspicious packages, and much more. A super-heavy-duty "containment vessel" allows the squad to remotely detonate a bomb inside it and even sample any harmful chemicals it would otherwise emit freely into the air. As with all facets of the sheriff's office, officials go through intense training to perform these duties in the field at an expert level. Indeed, the Sheriff's Emergency Response Team also secures hostage situations, and performs high-angle rescues, just to give a few more examples of their work. Det. Sgt. Phil DiGavero explained the process of organizing, securing and protecting every piece of evidence that enters the evidence management facility. He demonstrated how the state-of-the-art computer network and manual processes ensure that each piece of evidence is documented, protected and ready for official access - and only under the most secure conditions. Det. Sgt. Michael Puzio offered insight on the different types of warrants that the sheriff's office will process, adding that officials in this division are out on the beat as well a great deal of the time. Countless television shows have mimicked the work done for real in this and other divisions of the sheriff's office. "We are the enforcement end of the warrants," he said. Next, a tour of the Legal Services Division was offered. This division serves legal documents, such as summons which initiate a lawsuit. Official court documents are overseen and enforced within this division of the sheriff's office. Det. Phillip Mangiafridda, offered a final glimpse of some of the operations within the sheriff's office: he demonstrated the benefits of the "Faro" scanner, which can scan and provide a superb video document of a crime scene. The scanner is secured in a chosen corner of a room, for instance, and it will create a high-definition visual account of this crime scene. When the scanner is, for instance, secured then in the opposite end of the room, it will complete its visual account of the crime scene. Law enforcement officials will now have a superior and comprehensive 3-D video document of a crime scene - one which they can now "move through" and "view" from any imaginable angle. This technology aids officials in solving some of the most troubling cases - murders, suicides, and aggravated assaults. In last month's tour of the sheriff's office facilities, it is evident that all if its officials are impressed with Sheriff Rochford's high standards, thorough ways, and his desire to constantly improve. Rochford himself is likewise impressed with their specific areas of expertise and is proud to have officials with the strongest of qualifications. Be on the lookout for additional stories on the Morris County Sheriff's Office.

The township is looking for donations for Mount Playmore as well as sponsorship for improvement at Flanders Park, says Pignataro. mprovements may be needed at Flanders Park that includes better fields, further trail development and upgraded swing set, says Greenbaum. New businesses coming into Mt. Olive this year include the expansion of Siemens Corporation; Italian Meat Market-Fartelli Beretta-coming to the International Trade Zone; Weiss Markets; Marvel Land Farms, 200 plus units of adult active community homes being built next to the Flanders Valley Golf Course; and new condominiums by Simoff Properties that will be built next to the Budd Lake School Administration building off of Route 46. One of the main efforts in Mt. Olive has been trying to attract new businesses to town, says Sean Canning, Mt. Olive Twp. business administrator. Since 2012, Siemens Corporation has been considering an expansion in Mt. Olive by doubling its size. The company was trying to decide between Mt. Olive or Indiana for its expansion, says Canning. They chose Mt. Olive to become its headquarters for medical product devices in the United States. With that expansion comes 450 high tech jobs to Mt. Olive that will be offered through Siemens headquarters, says Canning. Work should be completed in 2014 or early 2015, he says. We were able to sell this area of New Jersey, says Canning. They (Siemens) were very attracted to this area of New Jersey. We had to sell the area, what Mt. Olive has to offer, with its good schools, smart workforce. Canning says officials had to sell Mt. Olive to Fartelli Beretta Italian Meat Market as well. Currently located in S. Hackensack, the company was looking for a home for its new headquarters. The company procures Italian salamis and deli products. Financially the township maintained spending in 2013, but for 2014, officials are hoping to avoid a budget increase with no tax hike, and in 2015, hoping to reduce taxes on the municipal side, says Greenbaum. Greenbaum says he does not think there will be a significant change in taxes but any decrease is better than any increase. In 2013, weve looked for ways to cut costs and reduce taxes to Mt. Olive residents, says Greenbaum. For 2014, officials are looking into projects regarding ratable growth as well as conservative spending practices, he says. The township has started to outsource its own fleet, which will save over $100,000, says Canning. We brought fleet back to our house with trucks being serviced by our mechanics in our garages. The projection was to save $62,000, says Canning, but we doubled it and saved $100,000 the first year by not outsourcing mechanics, he says. The township is looking into improvements that include better quality roads; enhancements at Turkey Brook Park; more recreational opportunities; and the addition of two lacrosse fields at Drakes Brook Park already underway (which will be paid for by the recreation Lacrosse club but bonded through the township). The township is also looking into the continued on next page
By Cheryl Conway ooking back at 2013, township officials are pleased with progress from new services and programs, community pride and participation, some new businesses and responsible spending in Mt. Olive. In store for 2014 and beyond, awaits a new grocery store, transportation system, playground, reduced spending and so much more. Generally, were in very good shape in the community, says Mt. Olive Township Mayor Rob Greenbaum, who is serving his second year of his four year term. Theres a good sense of community with projects and recreational opportunities. Financially, the town is in extremely good shape and looking forward, Im very optimistic about it. Some of the exciting events held in Mt. Olive in 2013 included Tour de Mt. Olive, Fall in Love With Mt. Olive, Radars of the Lost Ark, Mud Run, 5K and 10K races, Strut Your Mutt, Cabin Fever and the Mt. Olive Carnival. A new program, Restaurant Week, has been introduced in Mt. Olive with area restaurants showcasing food items on their menu for participants to try. New companies that moved in included Remax, GBW Mortgage Co. and Kwik. Some improvements and new services
Like us on facebook www.facebook.com/mypaperonline Tell Them You Saw It In The Mt. Olive News, January 2014, Page 27 continued from previous page redevelopment of Route 46, more specifically the corridor around the lake. With highlands approval already received, Greenbaum says there is great interest in upgrading the businesses that surround the lake. We want to encourage restaurants to come in, says Greenbaum, to make the lake a destination rather than a passerby on Route 46. Also new and exciting is the development of a Mini-Transit System currently being looked into by township officials. If all goes according to plan, the new transit system may be in place for 2015, Greenbaum says. The plan with the transit system, which is still being explored, will utilize three busses to run routes throughout various locations such as schools, ITC Plaza, Sutton Plaza, other shops, Turkey Brook Park, in Mt. Olive - to provide transportation to residents who do not own a car or cannot get around. A lot of people dont have transportation, especially the teenagers, says Greenbaum. A Transit System would be a great addition to services Mt. Olive provides. The township has requested a $50,000 grant from Morris County to purchase vehicles for 2014 for mini city transit, says Canning. Officials are looking into a 21passenger bus to run through neighborhoods, apartment complexes for uses such as shopping and housing. Operations would not begin until 2015 if a grant is even approved, he says. Parsippany and Morristown are the only other towns in Morris County that run a transit system, Canning says. Mt. Olive, being the second largest county next to Parsippany, can certainly benefit from such a service. Besides tangent things like improved services, new programs and businesses, the communitys pride and sense of the word community has been recognized. Community pride has increased tremendously, says Lisa Pignataro, special projects coordinator. People want to help. They want to come on board and be part of the community. Businesses and local organizations have been approaching the township with an interest in wanting to be part of something, whether it is through showcasing their work with landscaping or donating at events to advertise as a way to attract their business, she says. There has been a sense of marketing and partnership with the township, explains Pignataro. The free event in town- CandyLand, which was sponsored by Flanders Pediatric Dentistry, for example, was huge she says with all of the support from local businesses such as Sams Club, Remax, Theater Dance, M&M Mars, PNC Bank, Lyons Club. You had those businesses that were tremendous, she says. The support from clergy, especially around the holidays, with sponsoring community events and donating holiday baskets to the food pantry was also a great partnership, says Pignataro. Under Greenbaums administration no one goes hungry, says Pignataro. The outpouring from the community was amazing. The Mt. Olive Chamber of Commerce donated a truck full of food, as well as local businesses, to the Mt. Olive Food Pantry. The Lyons Club donated more than $2,000 in gift cards to the food pantry, as well as donations of food and gift cards from local religious churches and synagogues. All the clergy, they are part of the community, says Pignataro. No one stands alone under Rob Greenbaums administration. We are here together as one. We are setting the standard as high as possible. We are leading by example. Canning also applauds Greenbaum for all of his efforts and strong leadership. Ever since Rob came in weve been customer oriented, says Canning. We track everything, everyday operations. We are humming along pretty good, more professional management. We are much more proficient than we used to be. As far as bad or negative occurrences in Mt. Olive in 2013, Greenbaum did not have too much to mention other than loss of life and property but nothing compared to last year or the year before. Greenbaum applauds the improvement within the Mt. Olive School district as well as advancements in communication and getting the word out whether through Facebook, the township website, newspaper and radio. People recognize they are able to keep up with whats going on in town, good, bad or otherwise, says Greenbaum. The town is running on all cylinders. Canning says, 2013, It was another success. Its all good for Mt. Olive, long-term financial stability for the township. Its all been good.
Page 28, January 2014, Tell Them You Saw It In The Mt. Olive News Like us on facebook www.facebook.com/mypaperonline By Cheryl Conway The Mt. Olive Township School district has seen great improvement the past six years, and for the next six so much more is to come- from advanced technology and hands-on approach learning to even robots. Robots are coming, says Dr. Larrie Reynolds, Mt. Olive Township superintendent of schools. The plan is to get serious with robots at Mt. Olive High School. Robotics has existed at the high school which involves game playing with robots manufactured by the students. But with the new robots that are coming, they will already be manufactured and students will be learning how to code them, says Reynolds, as a more futuristic plan of learning. Using all the technology concepts of sonar, radio, audio and visual, students will be learning how to code and manipulate robots. They will walk around, talk to you, stand on one leg, says Reynolds. Thats a direction society is going. The more mobile robots are coming. They will be deployed in a class fairly soon. When you leave the high school, you will be ready to learn how to work with robots." The district plans to purchase four robots in the spring and a new class for robots will be added as a course selection in the fall. The new robots course is just part of the new long-term strategic plan called Pathways to Excellence, which is still being developed by administrators and may be up for approval by the school board in February. Reynolds has been presenting his strategic plan concept at the different schools to keep the school community informed. One of Reynolds new initiatives involves college and career readiness. The goal is to get kids ready for college or career, says Reynolds. He wants to encourage students to go to college and graduate- to be graduate ready verses just going and dropping out. And to be career ready so that in five years they will be fiscally independent, he says. Reynolds initial six year strategic plan is up this coming June, he says. Since 2008, the district has seen many changes from increased state test scores, no more D grade, improved technology, new testing and assessment methods, and new academic interventions and remediation programs. This year, marks the end of the complete curriculum cycle, says Reynolds. The schools have already replaced curriculum in math, social students and science, and this school year teachers are working with a new reading/writing curriculum called Journeys, which involves a greater focus on reading and writing. The middle school has moved to a nine period day this year with a double period of language arts. Students used to have 50 minutes of language arts a day and are now getting 180 minutes a day. Students will become better writers, readers, linguists, communicators, says Reynolds. At the high school, students are being introduced to more elective-type courses allowing them with more exploratory learning, says Reynolds, so they can explore everything from arts to robotics. The ninth graders at the high school are also the first class to be introduced to STEM- Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics- with a company called Amplify. Mt. Olive High School is the first school in New Jersey and one of the first in the country to utilize this program. With STEM, every ninth grader has been given a tablet - that was purchased by the school board budget- that extends to them a complete platform of learning through video content and management techniques. Students are learning with a flipped classroom method in which teachers can use the tablet as another teaching resource to the students providing them with a 24/7 interactive computing digital environment, says Reynolds. Also new this year is the full day kindergarten- K Excel- which provides full day kindergarten to currently 90 students in the district. Students attend Mt. Olive Child Care for half day and then elementary school for the other half. K-Excel involves a software program with literacy training, teaching students words and vocabulary. Out of those 90 students, half pay tuition and the other half receive scholarship through the Mt. Olive school district. Students are not the only ones taking a step up in Mt. Olive. Personnel and administrators in Mt. Olive have a new evaluation system- called the Stronge system- in which teachers, administrators, principals and even the superintendent are evaluated on classroom techniques and results on how well students learn. This new system holds all personnel accountable, says Reynolds. We are all evaluated on how students learn. Each teacher has a specific plan called the SIP- Students Improvement Plan- for each student. From low performers to high performers, we are trying to get every student to perform on grade level. Reynolds also cited the new district website as a tremendous improvement. On the website, Go to any school, you will see a story says Reynolds and a library of previous stories. Topics vary from stories about teachers in the building to individual experiences from students. Each school has a different story, that changes weekly. The schools have also seen facility
The Path For Improvement Continues At Mt. Olive Schools

improvements with a high level of security each having two sets of doors and a kiosk requiring all visitors to identify themselves through a registered database. There are also a number of measures that are in place that enforce police and emergency responders to the buildings, says Reynolds. In 2013, schools have seen more than $1 million in community school improvements such as new air conditioning units. The district just received a $1.7 million grant for facility upgrades and the district plans to budget $1 million more for additional improvements. Several projects in store include general modernizing and renovating; reroof buildings; renovation of old choir room in high school; remodel restrooms in high school as well as some classrooms and hallways. Financially, Reynolds says his goal for the school budget will be to keep it within a two percent cap. Pleased with Mt. Olives progress so far, Reynolds expects even better. Its a school district thats either a B+ or A- school district, says Reynolds. Everyone wants to see an A+ school district. That means getting all the students on board. Weve made progress- were looking to the future to make it even better. The strides the district have taken so far has not gone unnoticed. Mt. Olive Township Mayor Rob Greenbaum tips his hat off to the Mt. Olive school district. The Mt. Olive school system is improving by leaps and bounds every year, says Greenbaum. From test scores, to where Mt. Olive is ranked in the county and the state, to the quality of colleges that students are being admitted into, and the opportunities that the schools are providing, Greenbaum says I applaud what Dr. Reynolds and the school board is doing.

Engraved fence posts are available for $50 with component prices going upwards from that point.

hen we think about the most important things in our lives we almost always start with family and loved ones, working out the rest of the details from there. Considering that family and loved ones are our top priorities its almost impossible to believe so many people dont consider home security as a mandatory part of their home. Security and safety are clearly the top priority, and while there are certainly different ways these can be achieved, having a monitored home security burglar and fire alarm system professionally installed in your home is one of the most effective ways of keeping your loved ones safe, secure, and not surprisingly happy.

Sure, it will be hard to realize youve probably lost some of your familys possessions and will never see them again some probably irreplaceable but the emotions and feelings youre left with can be quite upsetting. Thoughts of having your private space intruded can run you through the gamut, emotionally. Youll be angry and feel violated, but worse than that is the fear that frequently sets in after a home invasion. Its terrifying knowing someone entered your house for the purpose of stealing your stuff. After a robbery a large number of people feel uncomfortable and even scared inside their own home.

Contact a professional sercuriy service company and see how truly easy it is to have a monitored home security burglar and fire alarm system professionally installed in your house.
Capture Your Valentine With Love Songs By Quartet Singers

Singing Valentines are a unique way to say I care! as stated in a press release. Customers will not only be sending love through song but will be helping to support the old barbershop style of singing. This is one of our major fundraisers, says Terry Scullin of Morristown, president of The Morris Music Men. All proceeds are allocated to the non-profit organization to pay for expenses such as hall rental and director fees. Its a style of singing that we are trying to preserve and perpetuate, says Scullin, 73. Trying to keep that sound alive is important to all of us. Songs are delivered in four-part harmony- tenor, lead, baritone and base- acapella, barbershop style. The Morris Music Men chorus and its affiliated quartets are part of the international 30,000-member Barbershop Harmony Society. About 20 men throughout Morris County meet weekly to rehearse. Most of the men are 60 years old or older; the youngest member is a recent college graduate. For the Valentines fundraiser, about 12 of the men from the group will be split up into quartets and travel throughout the county to deliver Singing Valentines. Each group will be singing two simple love songs: Let Me Call You Sweetheart and Heart of My Heart. Those songs were selected because every barber-shopper in the world knows those songs, Scullin says. Last year, Scullin recalls traveling more than 200 miles to sing quartets for the Valentines fundraiser. As a group, there were 35 requests for Singing Valentines, of which Scullin performed 16 of them. We can be out from 9 a.m. to 9 p.m., says Scullin, who has been singing Valentines with the group since 2005. It is a huge amount of fun doing this, and it raises money to keep the chorus going. Its a little scary at first, says Scullin, singing with three different guys. But once he hears the applause and sees the expression on his customers face,, his time singing is worth every song. One of his Valentine gigs that stole his heart was a 97-year old woman who bought a singing Valentine for her 92-year old companion. Each lost their spouse and met each other at a senior exercise class, describes Scullin. While his quartet was singing to them, the companions just held each others hand and looked at each other. All of this is so much fun, says Scullin, continued on next page
By Cheryl Conway andy gets eaten and flowers will die. But a love song in ones ears will linger in ones heart and carry on.

Ive always loved music but never been able to play anything. Im a klutz when it came to playing piano or guitar. But using vocals is different. Its just such a joy to sing; to sing in front of others and get applause, even learning the music. Its just a great deal of fun. You are with a bunch of wonderful people sharing a hobby. The Morris Music Men is currently one of the finalists in the Morristowns Got Talent Contest. It is one of 16 finalists out of 70 acts that will be performing at the Mayo Performing Arts Center in late February. Other performances have been at local assisted living places, The Cliffs in East Orange, Morris View Nursing Home. In August, the group gets together with other chorus groups and sings at the Somerset Patriots Baseball Game. Another big fundraiser hosted by Morris Music Men is an annual concert in October at Drew University Concert Hall. Scullin has been singing in the group since 2002, when he retired as a copy writer for BBDO Advertising agency in New York. His participation stems from the love of singing. There are very few of us that are professional singers, says Scullin. I sing in the shower and sing along with the radio. continued from previous Other members of the chorus have sung in their church choirs or in high school or college. We are all amateurs but we all enjoy singing and acapella harmony, he says. Most of the members cant even read music, says Scullin, so they learn through tapes and CDs with words and listening rather than reading music. Scullin has also branched off and performs in a separate organized quartet, The Four Old Parts, which is open for bookings to sing at birthday parties, senior or library events. Call 973-540-1648to inquire. To reserve a Singing Valentine or for more information, call 973-625-2842; or email svdavid.sipple @gmail.com. Deadline to order is Tuesday, Feb. 11, at 9 p.m. The chorus meets Tuesday evenings at Gloria Dei Lutheran Church in Chatham and always welcomes new singers. No experience necessary; free singing lessons are provided. Learn more atwww.morrismusicmen.org. Funding has been made possible in part from the Arts Council of the Morris Area through the New Jersey State Council on the Arts/Department of State, a Partner Agency of the National Endowment for the Arts.
