Imagine Judaism itself applying for a job. The rabbiwill touch on a variety of issues relating to this sce-nario such as how doesJudaism fit into the corpo-rate culture; how to charac-terize the Torah's personalitytype, rigid, open-ended or

flexible, Outgoing or inner-directed; how well doesJudaism help us handle thetasks of modern living?

"Come explore thisunusual perspective, shareyour own views, andbecome familiar with somepivotal biblical texts touch-ing on these questions," saysBiller.

Biller's third year partici-pating in the Our JewishWorld lecture series, he is amaster storyteller, thorough-ly enjoys teaching these

classes and brings a fresh,bright outlook to Judaism'straditional texts.

Biller specializes incounseling Jews of all rituallevels looking to find mean-ing in both modern life andrich Jewish traditions. Thespiritual leader of syna-gogues in his native Canada,as well as in Alabama, NewYork and New Jersey, the

rabbi received rabbinic ordi-nation from the JewishTheological Seminary. Healso studied BiblioDramawith Peter Pitzele at theUnion Theological

Seminary, and completed atwo-year Spiritual Directioncourse at Elat Chayyim,designed to help participantsteach others how to identifyand follow their own spiritu-al paths.

quality operation through much hard work

by its dedicated group of volunteers, and the

tremendous support of the visiting public.

The story of the Whippany Railway

Museum began 50 years ago when theMorris County Central Railroad (MCC) first

opened to the public on May 9, 1965 at

Whippany.

On that exciting day a half-century ago,

former Southern Railway steam locomotiveNo. 385 departed Whippany for Morristown

with the MCC's first trainload of more than

400 passengers. At the end of the day more

than 1,500 people had traveled on a nostal-

gic trip into railroading's colorful past. Forthe next 15 years, until it ceased operationsin 1980, the MCC would carry on this excel-

lent tradition, leaving memories for untold

hundreds of thousands of visitors that would

last a lifetime.

The MCC was founded by a NJ aero-

space technician, the late, Earle H. Gil, Sr. of

Parsippany. His idea of running steam

excursion trains was formed in the late

1950's when conventional steam railroad

operations were fading fast. Gil hoped that afinancially successful heritage railroad

would justify the great expense involved in

keeping one of these magnificent machines

alive.

The Morris County Central was a fineexample of what a conscientious group was

able to accomplish, with moderate

resources and good taste in the preservation

of operating steam. It proved that trains,

steam locomotives and haunting whistlescontinue to linger in the minds of theAmerican public.

the new facilities’ entryway. Although all

hope is lost for the large home that was

built (as the story goes) on the site of a

general store that had stood there whenWhippany was in its infancy, it was

hoped by the Commission and many res-

idents that at least the old round stone

smokehouse and a small stone carriage

house could be spared. It is, however,

pretty certain that there is hope for only

the carriage house, which will anchor theentrance to Bayer Boulevard, a visible

reminder of the days when the propertywas home to a series of families who

enjoyed its early charm. One previous

resident, David Brouder, recalled that

there was room in the smokehouse for

three pigs to be suspended from a board

that ran across the upper portion of the

structure, with vents dotting the conical

roof and vents at the base to provide draftfor the smoke to rise, perfuming the

neighborhood with it smoky aroma.

In Hanover Township, history matters

and Czuchnicki and his fellow commis-sioners have planned a series of celebra-

tions for the remainder of the year to

mark the Tercentennial of its Old Iron

Works, Fordville, and the Builder’s

Homestead, with four events: Hanover

Township Day on September 12 with ahorseshoe competition; an owner-invite

event on Sept. 19; a Hanover wind

Symphony Concert of Iron Music on Oct.

28; and their Second Annual Forum with

a dozen speakers celebrating “300

Hundred Years of History” on Nov. 21.

Czuchnicki emphasizes that the

nation’s heritage reflects hard work,

innovation, and sacrifice.

“Our many towns built and protectedthe world: mines, forges, furnaces and

mills; canals, railroads, communications

and TV; arsenals, laboratories, and medi-

cine,” says Czuchnicki. “Whippanyremains television’s home; Picatinny

Arsenal still serves to protect our

nation.” He goes on to say that heroism

began with our first settlers and today’s

heroes continue to sacrifice.

It is the HTLC’s hope that theseplanned celebrations “will preserve our

culture; grow pride; and help build the

path forward to the next three hundred

years.”

Farmers markets provide visitors with a window to see

into the world of the people and places that grow our

farm foods, baked goods, artisans’ chesses, localhoney and hand crafted products.

Once considered more of a novelty, farmers marketstoday provide consumers with an alternative to traditional

grocery markets, specialty food stores and unique gift

shops. Visitors to local farmers markets can purchase local-ly grown and made items all with the convenience of one

stop shopping.

Different farmers, bakers, craftsmen and unique shop

owners come together in an outdoor market that showcases

everything local and homemade, handmade and locallygrown.

Farmers markets expose consumers to different season-

al foods and products. They offer more than typical super-

market or gift shop products and often include herbs, plants,

cut flowers, eggs, homemade specialty items such as jam

and jelly, baked items and local honey. Farmers marketsgenerally open in the spring and stay opened until the holi-

days. Each season brings new offerings.

When farmers markets open in the spring, they provide

consumers with fresh, locally grown produce, homemade

baked goods, prepared meals, soups and hand crafted itemsthat many have anticipated all winter. Their garden offer-

ings are plentiful providing consumers with an exceptional

selection of annuals and perennials to plant. Spring offer-ings turn to summer offerings delivering a wide variety of

flavorful, colorful sweet fruits and ample vegetables.

Summer farmers markets are a great way to spend a

weekend afternoon or lazy evening after a day at work.

Summer is when produce such as tomatoes, sweet corn andcucumbers are grown and enjoyed in abundance. As thesummer ends, fall is a beautiful time of year. The

air is crisp and local farm stands are brimming with

autumn goodies from pumpkins to root vegetables, cider,

hay rides and corn mazes. Hearty prepared meals, holiday

pies, hand knit sweaters and seasonal wreaths are alongsidemums, corn stalks and hay barrels used to decorate our

homes.

As the winter approaches, don’t discount the selection at

your local outdoor markets. Beets, broccoli, brussel sprouts,

cabbage and cauliflower are grown most of the year, even

through November and December. It’s a great time to stockup on homemade jams, jellies and local honey. Think gift

giving for the holidays. Most farmers markets stay open

until December and will additionally offer fresh cut green-

ery and Christmas trees.

Most fruits and vegetables travel 1500-2500 miles toland in the grocery store. If each consumer ate just one meal

a week using local products, we would save 1.1 million bar-

rels of oil each year. Visits to local farmers markets are

increasing for a variety of reasons- it’s healthier, it’s impor-

tant to support local growers and it’s better for our environ-ment. Stop by and explore your local outdoor market today,

you may be surprised what you find and what you learn.

HOME IMPROVEMENT • CARPENTRY

by Cara Connelly

The calendar page has turned to

April and the promise of spring ishere. After the record breaking

winter the region has endured, the birds

are finally singing and bulb buds are pok-ing through the newly uncovered grass.

Springtime means preparing the yardand gardens to enjoy landscaping all sum-

mer long. Putting in some prep time now

by preparing the lawn, controlling weeds

and cleaning planting beds to get them

ready to become flower or vegetable gar-

dens for another season of blooms andfresh produce will help those enjoy their

yard as the weather warms.

Country Mile Gardens of Morristown

has been a staple in the gardening commu-nity since 1977.

Manager, Tom Gallo says that now is

the perfect time to get planting beds ready

by cleaning leaves and winter debris.

Gallo says, “Spring is the time to fertilize.

Homeowners generally use granular fertil-izer or compost for a more organic

process.”

Mulching is another spring activity.

According to Gallo, “Mulching helps withweed control and is aesthetically pleas-

ing.”

Summer Franklin of Mendham Garden

Center says that the best way to a lush

lawn after such a harsh winter is to main-tain a healthy Ph balance. She says,

“applying lime first will maximize the

benefits of fertilizer once it is applies.

Optimal Ph levels should be 6.5-7.0.”

Mendham Garden Center offers fee soil

testing and can recommend repair ormaintenance programs for a homeowner’s

yard.

Why not introduce the kids to the won-

der of plants? How about having them

plant a tree or shrub to commemorate an

achievement or create a container full of flowers or vegetables.

Let the little ones choose what they

want to plant, let them be (relatively) in

charge the care of the plants. They willfeel invested in the process and learn a les-

son in responsibility and reaping the

rewards of hard work. It’s also a great

way to get them outdoors, spend some

family time together and foster a lifetime

Homeowners And Garden Centers Getting Ready For Spring Gardensof gardening enjoyment.

A new trend in gardening is planting

edible gardens using different herbs that

gardeners will use in everyday cooking.

Try planting them in a window box or

hanging basket. Gallo says regular andnew customers are coming in looking for

new varieties of vegetables. “New vari-

eties of vegetables emerge every year and

people love to try experimenting with

them in their own gardens,” he adds.

Franklin says that at Mendham GardenCenter they are getting a lot of inquires

about planting organic gardens. “Peoplelike to plant everything from a boxed gar-

den off a patio to a full sized organic gar-

den.”

Spring is also a good opportunity to

add additional landscape or hardscapingfeatures to the yard such as a new patio,

trees or shrubbery, fence or sprinkler sys-

tem. A more simple spring idea may be to

plant window boxes by combining flower-

ing plants with attractive foliage to add a

quick pop of color to decks, window sash-es and porch rails.

Dining outdoors when the weather is

warm can make for a pleasantchange of pace. While certain

aspects of eating outside can be enticing,

Mother Nature can sometimes complicatethe experience. Wind is one challenge to

dining outside, as diners may find them-

selves chasing paper napkins or airborne

plastic cups on windy afternoons or

evenings. To safeguard against the wind,rely on reusable, heavy plastic items that

are less likely to blow away in the wind.

Also, keep tablecloths in place with a few

supplies. Use a grommet-making tool topunch holes into the tablecloth and attachplastic or metal grommets. Place the table-

cloth on the table and slip a thin bungee

cord fastener to a grommet on the under-

side of the table. Stretch the cord across to

a grommet on the other side of the table-cloth and secure. Two or three sets of grom-

mets and bungee cords may be all you need

to keep the tablecloth in place and enjoy an

interruption-free meal outside.

Azero tax increase, reducing debt

and maintaining roadways are high

on the list for David Scapicchio’s

campaign as Morris County Freeholder.

Running in the Republican 2015 June 2

Primary for his second three- year term as

freeholder, Scapicchio of Flanders and

Morris County resident for more than 36years, was sworn in to his first three-year

term on the freeholder board on Jan. 4,2013, serving as the board’s deputy director

in 2013 and 2014.

Competing in an all-RepublicanPrimary, Scapicchio joins running mates

Freeholder John Krikus of Washington

Twp., and Deborah Smith, a Denville coun-

cilwoman. The three are competing against

incumbent John Cesaro of Parsippany,

Christine Meyers of Mendham, AngeloTedesco of East Hanover, and Thomas

Mulligan of Rockaway.

With success in keeping all promisesduring his first term, Scapicchio plans to

continue the same course.“When we ran in 2012, we made some

promises,” says Scapicchio during a tele-

phone interview with New View Media.

“We did not raise taxes for three years in a

row. We said we’d reduce debt; we reduced

debt by $300 million. We said we’d paveroads. We’ve been able to do that without

raising taxes. The plan is the same.”

Scapicchio says “I made promises in

2012 when I first ran; I fulfilled thosepromises. As candidates for political office

we set goals, we promise to make changes,and to do things differently. More often

than not, even with the best of intensions

those promises are hard to keep. During the2012 campaign we made some promises,

and we have succeeded in fulfilling many

of them. Promises made-promises keep.”

No stranger to public service,

Scapicchio served as Mt. Olive mayor from

2006-2011; Mt. Olive Twp. councilman fortwo consecutive terms (1996-2004) in

which he spent two years as council presi-

dent; Mt. Olive Zoning Board of Adjustment; and is a former chair of the

Mt. Olive Republican Committee.At the county level, Scapicchio served

on the Morris County Municipal Utilities

Authority.

He currently chairs the Capital Budget

Review and Facilities Committee, which is

in charge of capital programs. In thatcapacity, he is involved in a six year pro-

gram, 2015-2021, to enhance the road sur-

facing program. The road surfacing pro-

gram has grown from 17 miles of roadresurfacing a year, prior to 2013, to 34

miles of roadway each year, a much need-ed service based on “severe winters” and

roadway conditions, he says.

“We want to continue that program,”says Scapicchio, adding that there are 284

miles of roadway in Morris County that

need to be maintained.

“We have prioritized infrastructure

improvements, an area most governments

have failed to address,” he says. This yearwe’ve invested $16 million on the county’s

infrastructure.”

Scapicchio mentions a continued courseregarding health insurance, debt and taxes.

Health Insurance cost the county $47million a year, he says, so the freeholder

board eliminated the policy that enabled

freeholders to receive health insurance paid

for by the county tax payers, and also

changed the policy that provided employ-

ees lifetime health insurance after 15 years

of employment.

“The county no longer provides new

employees with lifetime benefits, and all

employees now contribute towards theirhealth insurance,” he says.

The board is also considering a self-

insurance program “which may have the

potential to save the county hundreds of

thousands of dollars,” he adds.

Regarding debt, Morris County debt isat $229 million, down from $259 million

when he came into office.

“By keeping capital spending under

control we have been able to reduce debt by

$10 million a year,” says Scapicchio.

Regarding taxes, he says “We said wewould not raise property taxes- we have

delivered three budgets with no tax

increase and we are working hard to deliv-

er a 2016 budget with no tax increase as

well. Our goal is to make county govern-ment smarter, smaller and more responsive.

“We are reforming health care, paying

down debt, controlling taxes, investing in

roads and bridges and maintaining the

county’s AAA bond rating,” says

Scapicchio. “That’s good Republican lead-

ership!”

Scapicchio studied at DeVry Institute of

Technology and eventually became a part-ner in Scapicchio & Sons, a family-owned,high-quality, professional residential con-

struction company in Whippany.

Originally from Livingston, he and his

wife Betsy, married in 1977 and have four

grown daughters.Scapicchio says he is re-running for

freeholder because “I enjoy public works,

working with others how we can provide

service in the county and doing it without

raising taxes. I enjoy working towards that

goal.”The freeholder board is an elected

administrative body that sets policies for

the operation of all county services. That

includes six county government depart-

ments and their divisions, plus authorities,commissions, boards and study commit-

tees.

Each of the seven freeholders serves as

a liaison to one of those departments and to

other areas of county government.
