    orristown is a desti-nation for shop-ping, dining,

    theater, music and moviesand it became a destinationfor employment for JillianBarrick who joined the townas business administrator onOct. 13.

    Barrick comes to the cityfrom Perth Amboy where shestill lives and had the same

     job. Her first post as city ad-ministrator was in East Or-ange.

    “Morristown is smaller in population and size, a little

    more suburban and a little more affluent,” she said in a recentinterview.

    As business administrator she is chief operating officer of the town, she said. “All department heads report to me, I re-port to the mayor,” she explained.

    Her first week on the job, discussions between AtlanticAmbulance and the town’s emergency squad shifted to in-clude the town, she said. Like all first aid squads, the town’shad trouble putting together day crews and Atlantic was pro-viding services, but there were other gaps in service for whichhelp from Atlantic was needed.

    “We came to a great solution,” Barrick said, adding it canevolve over time depending on recruitment successes of thesquad. The agreement is a partnership between the two enti-ties and doesn’t displace the squad.

    She said without Atlantic covering in certain emergencies,Morristown would be getting more mutual aid from neigh-boring communities than it would be providing. The agree-ment helps even things out.

    Barrick also started work near the beginning of the 2016budget process, which she considers a good thing because sheis quickly getting to know department heads and other em-ployees.

    Budget time is less difficult in Morristown this year dueto the settlement with Atlantic Health, she noted, although“we’re not going on a spending spree.”

    After a number of years of small victories over the hospi-tal’s contention it should be treated as a non-profit entity,

    Morristown finally settled for a payout of $15.5 million over10 years. The town started legal challenges in 2006 and willreceive taxes plus $5.5 million in penalties and interest. From2016 to 2025, 24 percent of the hospital’s 40-acre campuswill be assessed at $40 million, for an annual payment of $1.05 million. The 700-bed hospital is non-for-profit for fed-eral tax purposes. It was started to care for the indigent, butthe town believes its mission has moved more toward a profit-making entity.

    Barrick said she believes the town will use some of thesettlement money to open up municipal services to allow for

    New Business Administrator Settles In Morristownelectronic transactions and improve communications betweenthe town and its residents.

    “We want to offer world-class customer service,” she said.With Christmas coming, Barrick is glad the Morristown

    Business Partnership handles all decorating of the streets. Sheis getting to know that group as well as the Trustees of theGreen, the Parking Authority, the Arts Council and Sustain-able Morristown, all organizations that help the downtownthrive.

    The thriving downtown includes traffic issues, she con-ceded. There can be events at the Community Theater/MayoPerforming Arts Center and some of the churches at the sametime the streets are full of shoppers and the restaurants andtaverns are busy.

    “It’s a good problem to have,” she commented.

    ith a new year comes change, like a different

    office for New View Media Group LLC.

    But for Joe Nicastro and Mary Lalama of Flanders,co-owners with Darwin Oordt of Cherry Hill, they return

    to the office where the company first started a dozen

    years ago. Coming home is a wonderful feeling for them,

    not only to return to the original office, but in the literal

    sense that it is located where they dwell in Mt. Olive

    Township.On Mon., Nov. 16, New View Media Group moved

    from its East Hanover office to Lakeview Plaza at 1 Old

    Wolfe Rd, suite 205, in Budd Lake. The company had

    been in East Hanover since April when it had merged

    with the Marketeer, which had been headquartered there

    for for about 15 years after being in Livingston since 1978.What a nice homecoming it has been for Nicastro and

    Lalama.

    “The lease was up and being from Mt. Olive and a

    councilman I wanted to bring my business to my home-

    town,” says Nicastro. “From a personal view it is closeto home for me and Mary and our employees that come

    in on a daily basis. I am very happy to be back in Mt.

    Olive close to home.”

    While the current location is just temporary, Nicas-

    tro’s plan is to purchase a different building in town

    eventually.

    “We are in the process of purchasing a building and

    needed a temporary place,” says Nicastro. “The address

    we are at now is the same address that we moved to whenwe started the papers in 2004. We had started the Mt.

    Olive Weekly back then and found that location. It was

    available once again.”

    Nicastro’s plan is “we are looking at a small building

    along Route 46 that we feel would be a perfect home and

    give great exposure to the business.”For New View Media Group, 2015 has been a tremen-

    dous year of growth.

    With a current circulation of about 159,000 homes

    from as far west as Hackettstown to as far east as Cedar

    Grove, New View Media Group has grown from eight

    monthly papers this time last year and plans to holdsteady with 15 papers moving into 2016.

    On April 1, they had formed a partnership with Oordt,

    owner of the Marketeer, a free shopper type supplement.

    They changed their name from MJ (My Jersey) Media to

    New View Media with “The idea that we have a newview on media,” says Nicastro.

    All community news, from schools to government,

    people, organizations, places of worship, libraries, non-

    profit organizations, volunteer services, children’s

    groups, scouts, fundraisers and more are featured in the

    free monthly papers. The company’s philosophy is to

    showcase all the good, positive news that surrounds its

    readers.

    New View Media Group’s publications, moving for-ward, include Mt. Olive News, Hackettstown News,

    Roxbury News, Randolph News, Black River News,

    Morristown News, Mendham News, Madison News,

    Chatham News, Livingston News, Hanover News, Cald-

    well News, Verona/Cedar Grove News, Millburn/Short

    Hills News and East Hanover/Florham Park News.As far as continued growth, Nicastro says “We are in

    the middle of reevaluating the papers to see where and

    when other expansions would make sense.”

    Offering free publications to all residences and busi-

    nesses, the company depends on paid advertising. Con-

    tact Nicastro at 800-691-7549 or [email protected] View Media Group also invites the community

    to help share any positive news with its neighbors by

    sending all story ideas and press releases to

    When people take inventory of theirspending habits, many come tothe conclusion that they need to

    scale back. Upon making that realization,many people immediately assume they need

    to give up certain luxuries. However, spend-ing less on nonessential items may free upfunds for more enjoyable activities, such asdining out and travel. Being frugal doesn’tmean you have to be a minimalist, and it’seasier than you might think. Explore theserelatively easy methods to tame spending.

    • Use cash as much as possible. Payingwith cash can create an emotional feeling of loss and taps into your five senses. Takingcash from your wallet and handing it overto cashiers could slow down your subcon-scious spending, which is less likely to hap-

    pen if you always swipe a credit or debitcard.

    • Keep a spending log. Jot down yourspending habits on a piece of paper or usehome budgeting software to track whereyou tend to spend the most. This gives youan accurate and fluid method to examineyour spending.

    • Spend less on shopping sprees. Somepeople use shopping as an emotional releaseor a method to relieve stress. If you like

    shopping but want to cut back on yourspending, shop in less expensive stores,such as consignment or dollar stores. Thisfeeds your desire to shop without breakingthe bank.

    • Eliminate one monthly bill. Find a wayto cut out one monthly expense. If you’renot using that gym membership, cancel it. If you can’t find something to eliminate, finda way to cut back. Maybe you can scaleback your mobile phone service plan.Downgrade your cable television packageto one that’s more affordable.

    • Do things yourself. Consider the serv-ices you pay others to do that you may beable to do yourself. If you’re handy with apaintbrush, paint your home interior. Haveeveryone pitch in to clean the house and

    scale back on housekeeping services. Cookyour own meals and rely less on takeout.

    • Transfer savings automatically. Trans-fer a portion of your paycheck directly intoa savings account. Set up automated trans-fers so the money never appears in the ac-count linked to your debit card.

    • Pay bills on time. Do not waste moneyon late fees and penalties. Use automatic billpay so you don’t miss any payments andwaste money on fees.

    all the vendors in and get the right people

    flow,” she said.The 2014-15 market was at Fosterfields

    Living History Farm in Morris Township.

    Vendors filled several rooms of the adminis-

    tration building and some were forced to set

    up outside under a canopy which wasn’t a

    good situation in bad weather.

    In addition, the vendors wanted to holdthe market every weekend which wasn’t pos-continued on next page

    Holiday time will be much brighter

    for children stuck in the hospital,thanks to the kind heart of a Mor-

    ristown teenager who has spent the pastmonth collecting toys just for them.

    Morristown High School junior Charlie

    Lia, 17, has been collecting toys around

    town since Nov. 24 for his second annual

    Wesley’s Toy Box. Last year, he collected

    300 toys ranging from board games todolls, action figures, video games and puz-

    zles.

    Lia’s toy drive is his way of giving back

    to the hospital which he says saved himwhen he was younger. He also named hisdrive in memory of his long-time pediatri-

    cian Dr. Wesley Boodish of Millburn Pedi-

    atrics.

    “I would really like to give back to the

    pediatric unit that saved my life,” says Lia.

    All toys will be given to the sick chil-dren at the Pediatric Unit at Saint Barnabas

    Medical Center in Livingston.

    It was in late 2004, when Lia spent oneweek at the Pediatric Unit at Saint Barnabas

    Medical Center in Livingston. He was only

    five years old when he was diagnosed with

    a “life threatening” case of pneumonia.

    “They treated me around the clock,” re-

    calls Lia. “They really watched over me.They did everything they could to help

    me.”

    Besides saving his life, Lia says he was

    introduced, at a young age, to children who

    were sicker than he was.“I saw another child who had cancer,”

    explains Lia. “That moment made me real-

    ize there are many worse off children than

    me.”

    “Ever since then, I’ve had the urge to

    give back,” says Lia. Although it has been12 years since he battled pneumonia at

    Saint Barnabas, Lia says, his desire to do

    something to give back only grew overtime.

    “My appreciation for them really grew,”

    says Lia. “There were many moments inmy life when I said ‘I wouldn’t be here’ if 

    Pictured, from left, is Charlie Lia and Lynn Boodish, wife of the late Dr. Wesley Boodish.

    it weren’t for the doctors at Saint Barnabas.

    Lia continues, “I know there are kids in

    there that are way worse off than me. The

    toys would be a way to help them get

    through it. Giving toys to them would becontinued on next page

    my way to show my gratitude.”

    To show his appreciation even more, Lia

    has named his toy drive Wesley’s Toy Box

    in honor of Dr. Wesley Boodish.Boodish was Lia’s pediatric doctor for13 years before he died in April 2014.

    “He had a really good charisma,” says

    Lia. “He would be very inspiring to me. A

    check up from him would make my day. He

    was very positive, very inspiring. He was avery good role model; such a role model to

    me. His death just really made me sad.”

    Lia decided to hold the toy drive during

    the holiday season to cheer up little ones

    who cannot be home during such a fun, fes-

    tive time for most.“Christmas is the time of giving,” says

    Lia. “Since these children are in the hospital

    over Christmastime, why not give them

    toys that would make them more happy

    over Christmastime?”

    Lia is requesting that the toys be suitable

    for children between the ages of infant to

    teenagers.

    To spread the word, Lia has hung postersthroughout MHS; has asked the high schoolto make daily announcements over the in-

    tercom; has sent out email blasts; and has

    even gotten the Key Club, in which he is a

    member, to allocate to members one hour

    of volunteer time for each toy they donate.The Key Club at MHS is a volunteer

    group of students that helps out in various

    ways in the community.

    Lia plans to continue his toy drive until

    Dec. 21. Drop off boxes are located at the

    main office of Morristown High School andat Millburn Pediatrics, in which he is still a

    patient. Lia plans to visit the drop off boxes

    each week to collect the toys and make

    room for more.

    orris County Sheriff Edward

    Rochford received a l ifet ime

    achievement award earlier thismonth for 50 years of service in a law en-

    forcement capacity. This is true dedication

    to service, and has had a most uplifting ef-

    fect on the lives and well-being of Morris

    County residents.

    In early December, Rochford wasawarded a lifetime achievement award at

    the Peace Islands Institute Law Enforce-

    ment Appreciation dinner at the Hyatt in

    Morristown. He is being honored for 50

    years of protecting and serving the resi-

    dents and visitors of Morris County in alaw enforcement capacity.

    Susan Hunter, chief of staff at the Mor-

    ris County Sheriff's Office (MCSO), noted

    that he has "accumulated numerous awards

    and honors, too many to enumerate. It’s nosurprise why he has received all these

    awards and honors, and it’s no surprise

    why he is on his eighth term as our elected

    sheriff."

    Hunter, who spoke at the awards dinner

    where Sheriff Rochford rece ived hi s

    award, said Rochford knew at the age of 

    six that he wanted to be a police officer,and "fulfilled that dream on Nov. 29th,

    1965 - the day he was sworn in with the

    Morris Township Police."

    Rochford served a 27-year career there,

    earning 52 commendations, and finished

    up as deputy chief.Just prior to retiring from the police de-

    partment, he was approached with the idea

    of running for sheriff, and "he assessed the

    responsibilities and the possibilities and he

    decided that not only could he do this job,

    but he could do it well," said Hunter,adding that he became sheriff in 1993,

    "where he remains today, in his 23rd year

    of impeccable service."

    Hunter said one of Rochford's first goals

    was to fortify and tighten up the agency soit was deserving of national accreditation

    status, and this achievement was realized

    in 1998.

    Rochford then took on the noble task of 

    assisting every other sheriff in the state of 

    New Jersey until all 21 sheriff offices in

    this state were also accredi ted - Morris

    County, was first, we should realize, how-ever.

    "Continuing his strong and steady lead-

    ership, he then led the agency to earning

    the prestigious Triple Crown Award which

    ranks the Morris County Sheriff's Office in

    the top one percent of all 3,083 sheriff’s of-fices throughout this nation," Hunter said,

    adding that in 2014, the MCSO earned this

    award for the 11th year in a row.

    Residents of the county and beyond

    "should not take this for granted," Hunter

    said.Rochford was honored for his excellent

    fiscal management, and for safely handling

    many crisis situations over his years in law

    enforcement, and even preventing other

    emergency situations.At the awards ceremony, Hunter said, "I

    would just like to end with the same quote

    I began with but this time, think about how

    this pertains to Sheriff Ed Rochford, the

    steward of Morris County."

    Hunter offered the Ronald Reagan

    quote to attendees: “ 'I know in my heart

    that man is good, that what is right will al-ways eventually triumph, and there is pur-

    pose and worth to each and every life.'”

    In other Morris County news, county of-

    ficials could not comment in depth at this

    time about an apparent theft of a gold item

    from the St. Thomas More Roman CatholicChurch in Morristown in late November

     just before Thanksgiv ing and its subse-

    quent return on Thanksgiving weekend.

    The gold and silver item is allegedly worth

    about $10,000, and is used to exhibit reli-

    gious holiness during mass.Church officials relayed to the press that

    the item was missing, but then apparently

    returned on Thanksgiving weekend, though

    county officials noted that "If this hap-

    pened in a place of worship they should puta call out to the MCPO (Morris County

    Prosecutor's Office).... any kind of crimes

    to places of worship must be reported to

    the prosecutors office."

    The dawn of a new year is not only a

    great time to look ahead and make

    plans for the future, but it’s also a

    great time to reflect on the previous 12months. The following are some notable

    events from 2015.• Just seven days into the new year, a ter-

    rorist attack on the French satirical newspa-

    per Charlie Hebdo shocks the world. Twelve

    people, including several cartoonists and twopolice officers, are killed, while five others

    suffer critical injuries. The attacks are later

    linked to the terrorist organization Al Qaeda,

    which reportedly ordered the attacks in retal-

    iation for the publication’s caricatures of theProphet Muhammad.

    • United States President Barack Obama

    and Cuban President Raul Castro meet inearly April, marking the first time in more

    than half a century the two countries’ leaders

    met face-to-face. Less than two months later,the United States removes Cuba from its list

    of state sponsors of terrorism, moving one

    significant step closer to restoring full diplo-

    matic relations between the two countries.

    • Ireland becomes the first country to le-galize same-sex marriage in a national refer-

    endum on May 22. Roughly 62 percent of 

    voters approve changing the country’s con-

    stitution to allow same-sex marriage, a vote

    that comes 22 years after the Irish govern-ment decriminalized homosexuality.

    • Just one day after American Independ-ence Day, the United States Women’s Na-

    tional Team wins the Women’s World Cup in

    Vancouver, British Columbia. The game is a

    rout, as American Carli Lloyd scores a hattrick in the first three minutes of the game en

    route to leading her team to a 5-2 victory over

    Japan. Lloyd’s hat trick was the first such feat

    in Women’s World Cup Final history.

    • Alexis Tsipras wins a snap election onSeptember 20 to once again become Prime

    Minister of Greece. The elections come

    roughly one month after Tsipras announceshis resignation as a result of intraparty defec-

    tions that have cost him his majority in the

    Greek parliament.• The Chicago Cubs clinch a postseason

    series at Wrigley Field for the first time ever

    when they defeat the St. Louis Cardinals 6-4

    to win one of two National League Division

    Series.

    Morris Plains wants everyone to take responsibility

    for their actions and pride in the environment –don’t litter, put trash and recyclables in their

    proper place!

    This fall 12 scout, school and volunteer groups went outand scoured the streets of Morris Plains to pick up trash and

    recyclables left along the roadways and in open spaces.

    More than 200 kids and adults participated. They are all partof the State’s Clean Communities mini-grant program. The

    groups included Borough School’s eight grade, Girl Scout

    Troops 402, 223, 5081, 4904 and 4903; Boy Scout Troop

    39 and Cub Scout Troop 233; the Morristown High School

    Boys Soccer Boosters, Girls Tennis Club and Swim Team;and the Morris Plains Teen Center. Later this year Girl Scout

    Troops 1644 and 271 will be doing special clean-ups to be

    sure the downtown is litter free for the holidays.

    During this one period alone an estimated 1,100 poundsof trash was collected along with 180 pounds of recyclables.Candy wrappers and glass and plastic bottles and cups were

    dropped along the streets. But it was found that much of the

    trash became wind-blown to end up caught in wooded areas

    and at the fence lines along the busiest roads and in the

    parks. If only people would take that extra step to put trash

    in a bin, or just take it home to dispose of it, the problemwould be solved.

    In addition to all the fall cleanups, the town is pleased to

    announce that the sixth and eighth grades from Borough

    School have made a special commitment to sweep bothCommunity and Simon’s parks four times during the year

    as part of the new Morris Plains Adopt-a-Park program.

    Clean Communities is a State-wide grant programfunded through the NJ Clean Communities Council. It’s a

    comprehensive, litter-abatement program created by the

    passage of the Clean Communities Act in 1986. The Actprovides a funding source for the program by placing a tax

    on fifteen categories of businesses that may produce litter-

    generating products. Municipalities and counties programs

    to cleanup and educate.

    Residents putting items at the curb can help curb the litterproblem by picking up any loose trash before it blows away.

    Also, using lids on trash and recycling containers to prevent

    the wind from blowing materials out of the receptacles and

    flattening corrugated cardboard boxes and stack them intoone unflattened box.

    Thank-you to all those that participate in the Clean Com-

    munities program to help keep Morris Plains litter free!

    For more information about the Morris Plains Clean

    Communities program residents can go to the Borough of 

    Morris Plains Web Site at http://www.morrisplainsboro.org/

    Despite how well you may tend toChristmas trees and wreaths, youcan expect some pine needles to

    find their way onto your floors during theholiday season. Such needles can become

    imbedded in carpeting or stuck in socks andfurniture, proving to be quite a nuisance. At-tempting to vacuum them all up can be frus-trating, as some vacuums simply do nothave the suction power to handle all of thoseheavy needles. Plus, they can becomelodged in the inner cavities of the vacuumand clog it. To lessen the mess, wrap a treebag around the base of the Christmas treewhen you are setting it up and hide it under

    the tree skirt. This bag will catch many of the needles that fall off during the season.Each day, sweep any needles that make it tothe floor so they are not tracked around thehouse throughout the month of December.

    Think about making a homemade stickyneedle catcher. Wrap duct tape around yourhands or a broom with the sticky side facingout, then pat areas of the floor where needleshave accumulated, and the needles willlikely stick to the tape. If you want the ever-green aroma to last a little longer in yourhome, place collected pine needles in a clothsatchel and make a potpourri bag for an in-expensive air freshener.
