For many years, the Morristown

Neighborhood House and the Family

Service of Morris County (FSMC)

have worked separately to help strengthenthe community. While the Morristown

Neighborhood House focuses on providing

assistance to immigrant families within the

community by making their transition easi-

er, the FSMC strives to encourage individu-

als and families to take on and overcome

life challenges. These two groups recently

joined together, and the Morris town

Neighborhood House is now part of the

FSMC.

A combination of these two groups has

not been the only major change this year.

After having the same name for the last 200

years, FSMC made the decision to select a

new name. The goal was to pick a name that

would best reflect the existing organization,

along with the addition of the Morristown

Neighborhood House. The end result was

the Cornerstone Family Programs, a name

that captures the essence of the community

and the organization's spirit.

An organization's name is one of its main

components, and Cornerstone Family

Programs name was carefully selected. This

name is designed to reflect the underlying

goal, which is to become a cornerstone for

families throughout the community, and act

as a foundation where individuals can create

a better life.

While the Morristown NeighborhoodHouse has become part of the FSMC, it will

continue to operate as a subsidiary of

Cornerstone Family Programs. In addition,

the organization can keep its original name.

The group will continue to run and operate

its existing programs, while new ones are

being planned for future use.

Despite the change, the organization's

mission has largely remained the same. The

goal is to provide programs that include

counseling, education, support, and advoca-

cy to families, seniors, and over 7,000 chil-

dren. One way to achieve this goal, states

the organization, is to focus on prevention

and early prevention in four key areas.

Strategy is a key part of meeting goals,

and it begins with providing the best possi-

ble start in life for all children. To do this, it

is necessary to have programs that empha-

size building social and emotional well-

being. Parenting, childhood education, and

resources for families are included in this

category. Another strategic area that the

organization is aiming for is to allow older

adults to live independently in their own

homes. This step may involve social day

centers, breaks for caregivers, case manage-

ment inside the home, and programs that are

designed for the blind. A third goal is to help

build and maintain healthy families by pro-

viding ways to cope with short term stress-

es and manage long term goals. Areas

included in this step are parenting concerns,

stress, anxiety, and marital issues. The final

step is to prevent substance abuse through-

out the community.

With these goals in mind, and the newly

acquired skills and plans of the Morristown

Neighborhood House, Cornerstone Family

Programs has started off on a positive note.

A combination of missions from the two

organizations, along with the services they

offer, will allow the group to respond effec-

tively and promptly to concerns within the

community.

In late July, the Morris County Jayceesaim to hold a fundraiser for "Nothing

But Nets." The event will take place on

July 23 at 7:30 p.m. at the Famished Frog

restaurant on Washington Street in

Morristown.

The Nothing But Nets Campaign is a

global grassroots campaign with the goal of

raising awareness and the necessary fund-

ing to help fight against malaria. For many

African children, malaria is a serious threat,

killing thousands of children each year.

In addition to working with local groupssuch as the Jaycees, the campaign has also

provided opportunities to organizations,

students, CEOs, and others to reach out and

make a difference in the lives of children

who need it most. Some of the partners that

the campaign has worked with in the past

include the Bill & Melinda Gates

Foundation, VH1, the National Basketball

Association's NBA Cares, The People of

The United Methodist Church, Boy Scouts

of America, Junior Chamber International,

Orkin, Inc., and more.Residents of Morristown and the sur-

rounding area can take part in the second

annual rock, paper, and scissors competition

at the fundraiser. The top three competitors

will each win a prize that is valued at more

than $300. Plenty of laughter and serious

game faces are to be expected at the event.

Tiffany Reddin, president and founder of

the Morris County Chapter, says that while

the group is based locally, they are also

interested in international events. Reddin

says, "We are excited to take place in a

global project" that will have a lasting

impact and will ultimately help to save the

lives of millions of children.In addition to their global projects, the

Morris County Jaycees also give young

adults a chance to develop both personal

and leadership skills by getting involved in

the local community. The organization con-

sists of young individuals ages 18 to 40 who

give back to their community and help to

make a difference through their volunteer

efforts.

Part of the group's mission is to figure

out what each community needs, and to pro-

vide services through planning and execut-ing various community service missions.

Through these projects, each member

receives valuable hands-on experience. This

experience not only helps individuals feel

more involved in the surrounding commu-

nity, but it also leads to personal growth and

the development of valuable social and

leadership skills. Additionally, members are

rewarded with an inviting and professional

way to get involved with community

affairs, while developing lasting friendships

and business opportunities along the way.

The global span of the organization also

encourages networking throughout the

state, country, and the world.

While the organization has many local

branches, it is also part of a larger world-

wide federation of young professionals and

entrepreneurs. Currently, there are approxi-

mately 200,000 young professionals and

entrepreneurs involved in the organization

who are between 18 and 40 years old. In

addition, the organization has a total of

8,000 active territories, which spans a total

of 123 nations.

An independent panel worked together

Jersey; Pat Barnett, RN, JD, of the New

Jersey State Nurses Association and The

Along with the Hospital of the Year

and their newborns.

The center has received other awards as

well. Earlier this year, it was ranked by its

own doctors as the top hospital in the state.

In addition, it was voted the top hospital in

New Jersey for coronary surgery. The centerhas also received recognition for its excel-

lent performance in treating breast cancer,

If you ask most people why Morristown,

NJ is famous, most would answerbecause of George Washington and the

American Revolution. However, from 1890

to 1929 Morristown was the core of the

richest and least known area of wealthy

people in the world. This era was known as

the Gilded Age. Many of these magnifi-

cent homes remain today! One I am specif-

ically proud to present is 58 Canfield Road

in Convent Station. This 1908, 17 room

mansion has 3 levels, a large welcoming

foyer, open 3 story staircase, 6 fireplaces, a

library and 7 bedrooms. This is truly ahome with the grandeur of the past with all

the amenities of today including, new elec-

tric, new central air conditioning, and an in-ground heated pool set on 1.8 acres of beau-

tiful property. An added bonus is a 2 bed-

room carriage house, ready for guests or for

a rental. This home is convenient to all

Morristown has to offer including restau-

rants, theater and transportation and you can

walk to the Convent train.

ocal residents are fueling the national movement to

double lung cancer survival at the fourth annual Free

to Breathe Morris County Walk September 22 at

Horseshoe Lake Park in Succasunna. The inspirationalevent will feature an exhilarating 3.5-mile walk, followed

by awards for top fundraisers, food, door prizes and fun for

the whole family. Proceeds from the event support the

National Lung Cancer Partnerships programs dedicated to

doubling lung cancer survival by 2022.

Lung cancer claims more lives in New Jersey than

breast, colon and prostate cancers combined. In addition,

lung cancers five-year survival rate is only 16 percent,

much lower than that of many other cancers. However,

through community efforts like Free to Breathe, the

Partnership funds groundbreaking research necessary for

making the dramatic breakthroughs in early detection andtreatment that can save lives.

The research and resources funded through Free to

Breathe are reaching the people who need them most,

event organizer Jim Dennison said. Together, were build-

ing the promise made to hundreds of thousands of fami-

lies across the country of lifesaving treatments and cures.

Im proud to be a part of this transformative effort, and I

encourage the entire community to join me in embracing

the Free to Breathe movement.

In support of Free to Breathe Morris County 2012, com-

munity members, teams and local businesses championed

the cause by raising more than $42,000 to help patients andfamilies affected by lung cancer.

This year, Free to Breathe events across the country will

raise funds and unite lung cancer survivors, families and

friends. Anyone interested can register for an event, donate

online or start a personal fundraising page at www.freeto-

breathe.org.

Those who cant participate in Free to Breathe Morris

County can participate in the National Walk Week Nov. 2

ment. Supporters make this walk their own by gathering

friends, family and co-workers to walk when and where

they choose.Free to Breathe

The Free to Breathe event series unites people who are

passionate about creating public awareness of lung cancer

and raising vital funding for research. The National Lung

Cancer Partnership started the Free to Breathe event series

with a single 5K run and walk in Philadelphia in 2006.

From his early years as a struggling businessman,

through his golden years as a living legend, ThomasEdison had a love of nature that beckoned him to the

great outdoors. His camping buddies were Henry Ford,

Harvey Firestone and famous naturalist John Burroughs.

They named their group the Vagabonds and Burroughs

noted in his 1924 diary that the group "cheerfully endure

wet, cold, smoke, mosquitoes, black flies, and sleepless

nights, just to touch naked reality once more." There would

be a series of legendary camping trips covered by the press

journeying throughout America that started with their first

Everglades camping expedition of 1914. Famous people

and presidents would join in as guests to their campsite such

as President Warren G. Harding and President Coolidge.

We can only wonder what Edison would have thought

about this his lab and home in West Orange, NJ being a

National Historic Park site. Would he think it is a hoot that

a kid can earn his/her Junior Ranger badge and patch with

his name on it? The Edison lab is a very unique National

Historic Park site because the attraction is not the typical

natural lakes, rivers, trails and forests but, a late 19th centu-

ry factory lab buildings and an estate home. Even though it

is a manmade wonder, it still receives its own Junior Ranger

park badge and patch. Those who enrolled in the National

Park Service Junior Ranger program are happy to learn

New Jersey has 12 National Park sites. Many have started

their NPS Junior Ranger patch and badge collection when

they were young children and finally find the opportunity to

add the park site badges they missed as a child. You are

never too old to be a Junior Ranger.

Today joining a Junior Ranger program is so much easi-

er to enroll in and obtain the learning material needed for

your Junior Ranger Badge. There is a dedicated website for

each Park. Youngster can get a head start on the Junior

Ranger experience or extend it after visiting the park site.

This summer may be a great time to get started in a recre-

ational childhood memory you can carry over into adult-

hood by becoming a Junior Ranger. To obtain the park

badge there is a set of Junior Ranger workbook activities for

children from ages 5 and up to complete to attain their

badge. After they successfully completed their list of activ-

ities they must take an oath that they promise to share their

knowledge with others and enjoy and protect all National

Parks. This recognition certificate is signed by a Park

Ranger and presented to them along with their badge.

If visiting our National Parks is on your family to do list,

start your national recreational excursion right here in the

Garden State with the Thomas Alva Edison sites in West

Orange, NJ. This NPS site has a Junior Ranger activity

booklet that states to: Work like Mr. Edison and his assis-

tant muckers (engineer and lab techs) that worked

through project problems. Mr. Edison believed problems

are best solved when a good experimenter (you) and few

workers combine their talents to finish the project. Here is

the site location for more program details

There are plenty of perfect summer

days at Margaret Noons School

Lunch Farm this season, with the sunbeaming down on rows of heirloom vegeta-

bles, a cool breeze blowing, and a full crew

of interns and volunteers helping with the

planting, harvesting, and weeding of her 70-

acre spread in Mt. Olive.

But what is most heartening for Noon --

who came to farming after more than 20

years in advertising -- is the way the com-

munity has embraced her. There have been

days when, short an employee or faced with

a deadline shes not sure she can make --

help simply appears. This summer one ofmy interns read a help-wanted ad Id placed

two months earlier and called me, Noon

said. He dropped from the heavens. I find

when I need help, it shows up.

School Lunch Farm operates through a

system called Community Supported

Agriculture (CSA), in which customers buy

shares in advance and receive bags full of

vegetables weekly throughout the growing

season (with the option of a weekly addi-

tional egg share and monthly grass-fed beef

shares). The upfront payments offset the

considerable pre-season costs incurred by

the farmer, including purchases of seeds and

equipment. The CSA model is based on a

shared commitment to a local, equitablefarm system that encourages owners of

small farms to be good stewards of the land

and at the same time helps them to be pro-

ductive and profitable.

This year, School Lunch Farm also has a

stand at the Branchburg Farmers Market,

and is supplying produce to Arturos

Restaurant in Maplewood.

Noon bought her land a little more than a

year ago at auction, and is in her second sea-

son at the farm. While she works towards

organic certification, she uses organic prac-tices -- no chemical fertilizers or pesticides

-- to grow a wide variety of vegetables that

includes all types of greens, squashes, root

vegetables, lettuces, tomatoes, peppers,

eggplants and annual and perennial herbs,

among many other vegetable crops.

We plant almost every vegetable you

can grow in northern New Jersey, she said.

The number of shares sold has increased 50

percent from last year, and there are still

weekly shares available. Im growing

enough food for 100 families, said Noon.

Children and Their Parents ShareA Healthier Way to Eat at School Lunch Farm

CSA members receive their first share of the season.

This year she plans to donate extras to a

food pantry in Mt. Olive and a soup kitchen

in Plainfield.

Noon, 53 and single, is part of a growing

trend in U.S. agriculture: the number of

female-operated farms more than doubled

between 1982 and 2007, according to the

U.S. Department of Agricultures Economic

Research Service, to 306,000. In 2007,

women were the principal operators of 14

percent of the nations 2.2 million farms, a

jump of almost 30 percent from 2002.

While School Lunch Farm might look

like many small farms scattered throughout

rural areas of the Garden State, there is an

important difference: Noon apprenticed at a

biodynamic farm in northern New Jersey

for two years, and has carried those prac-

tices onto her own land. She is dedicated to

building healthy soil and enhancing biodi-

versity, two practices that have suffered in

the era of industrial farming.

Noon has also made School Lunch Farm

a focus of her involvement in the interna-

tional organization Slow Food, which advo-

cates for good, clean, fair food raised on

small, local farms using sustainable meth-

ods. She is leader of the northern NJ chap-

ter of Slow Food, which in the last five

years has awarded grants to start vegetablegardens at 25 schools in New Jersey. She

often invites school groups out to the farm,

where children can learn about farming and

taste freshly harvested vegetables.

When she first started farming in Mt.

Olive, she had no expectations that help was

just down the road. Shes been pleasantly

surprised. A lot of people have been really

helpful, she said. Many neighbors told her

stories about the history of her land. A few

have gone to work rebuilding her tractor

implements and tools. The family thatoriginally owned and farmed this property

still has relatives in the area, and they want

to help me bring the farm back to its full

potential and beauty, she said.

Noons vision for the future is two-fold:

As the name of the farm implies, she even-

tually wants to supply vegetables to school

cafeterias, so that children can be exposed

to healthy, minimally processed meals. She

also dreams of creating a lasting communi-

ty on her farm, perhaps by having young

farmers use some of her land for other agri-

cultural pursuits. I have one CSA member

who wants to raise alpacas, she said, and

another who wants to have goats.

Already, her farm is a gathering place for

friends, family and shareholders. Last year,

about a dozen volunteers helped erect a

greenhouse on the property, struggling to

secure huge sheets of plastic over a metalframe as they billowed in the wind. Their

reward: a potluck lunch, and armfuls of

just-harvested mint to take home. Recently,

she held a pick-your-own weekend for

shareholders who came out in force, little

kids in tow, to pick sugar snap and snow

peas.

On days when it seems the work will

never be done, Noon thinks back to those

moments. This farm, she said. Is the best

thing that ever happened to me.

Shares of School Lunch Farm cost $700(or less than $35 a week), and provide sus-

tainably-grown vegetables every week for

20 weeks, July through Thanksgiving (those

who join later will have their cost pro-

rated). There are also options for weekly

shares of local eggs and monthly deliveries

of local grass-fed organic beef.

If youd like to buy a share or volunteer

at the farm, contact Noon at margaretm-

[email protected]; or phone 908-451-0051.

ar enthusiasts get afirst hand look at thelatest in car features

at the recent car show inHackettstown.

Close to 1,000 peoplecame out to the Route 46Chevrolet 1st Annual CarShow and Grand Openingon Sunday, June 9. Therewere 110 entries of classiccars displayed and all regis-tration fees went to selectlocal charities.

It was huge, saysAdam Barish of Kinnelon,

co-owner of Route 46Chevrolet since Aug. 2012.We maxed out the entireparking lot.

The event was free tospectators, but car ownershad to pay $12 to $15 fortheir car entries. Cops andRodders Car Club inHackettstown co-hosted thecar show by helping Route46 Chevrolet organize andadvertise the event.

It was perfect weather,says Barish. It was a greatway to get out to look atcars of the forties, fiftiesand sixties. One car wasnicer than the next.

Barish decided to hostthe car show to get ourname out there, he says.We want to be part of thecommunity. He also want-ed to benefit local charities.

More than $2,000 wasraised. Monies went to TwoKids Foundation- a nonprofit organization that rais-es money to help childrenthat have been diagnosedwith cancer and other seri-ous health disorders and dis-eases; Johns Journey- acampaign to raise awarenessof a motor neurone disease;and Pink Ladies- a group ofyoung girls who raisemoney for Smiles ForMargaret by selling lemon-

ade.The Budd Lake Fire

Department sold 50 50s andthe Pink Ladies sold 10 gal-lons of lemonade that day.

A DJ was on site playinggreat music, remote controlcars were driven on a track,Piggys Deli inHackettstown catered food.At the event, a PowerWheels Car worth $500 wasraffled off, along with an

electric Power Wheels

Camero.Out of the 110 entries, 30

of the top vehicles were

given trophies in categoriessuch as best paint, bestengine, and best overall.The Dealers Choice TrophyWinner went to a 67 VetteSting Ray owned byNorman Dotti.

It was a totally restoredvehicle with original partsand attention to detail,describes Barish.

At the show was featuredthe 2014 Impala which had

just came out two weeksbefore the car show. With325 horse power, V6engine, the latest technolo-gy for anti-collision, thenew Impala is worlds awayfrom the old Impala, saysBarish.

Priced anywhere from$28,000 to $40,000, the fourdoor 2014 Impala featuresadaptive cruise control,blind spot indicator, cav-ernous trunk , blue toothintegration, available navi-gation, heated and cooledseats.

You just have to drive itto believe it, says Barish.It competes with the threeseries BMW or C ClassMercedez. The finish, theride, the handling- this isone big flagship automo-bile. This car is going to behuge.

Car enthusiasts at the car

show were able to comparecars from back in the day tothe latest and greatest.

Some of the cars at thecar show go back beforeseatbelts, says Barish.Compare that to thisImpala10 airbags pluscollision warning systemwhich will warn you beforeyou hit the brakes, blindsystem, lane warning if youveer outside the line it gives

you a beep beep, beep,

sensors for parking, back-upcameras, entertainment sys-tems. U can stream line

Pandora Radio. It knowstraffic and will say trafficfive miles ahead.

Within one year,Chevrolet has On Star ineverything, says Barish,giving the driver accidentnotification, directions tolocal restaurants.

Route 46 Chevrolet plansto host another car show onOct. 26 to benefit the MorrisCounty Police Chiefs

Association.This was the first carshow under the new owner-ship, says Dave Shapiro,general manager whoworked as a parts managerwhen the dealership wasknown as Kevil Chevrolet.

Barish and his sister,Jessica- who also ownRoute 23 Honda in PomptonPlains - bought the busi-ness- formerly called KevilChevrolet- last year after theformer owner Mike Kevildied after owning the deal-ership since 1984.

Raised by car dealerowners, Barish grew up inthe car business since hewas five years old. His par-ents were Pontiac Dealersand owned Regal Pontiac inWest Caldwell from 1968until 1974, when theyswitched to becomingHonda Dealers. They

owned Fairfield Honda in1974, which moved in 1983to Route 23 Honda inPompton Plains.

It was fantastic, saysShapiro, perfect weather.We raised money for a greatcause. Route 46 Chevy isdoing everything to getinvolved in the community.Its a local business. Werelooking to give back to thecommunity. We feel its

very important.
