starting this month, with this issue. MJ Media LLC has

recently merged with Broad Street Media, owner of the

Marketeer, and formed a new company- New View Media

Group LLC.

Publishers Joe Nicastro and Mary Lalama of Flandersof the former MJ Media have formed a partnership with

Marketeer owner Darwin Oordt of Cherry Hill to establish

New View Media Group. In talks six months prior, the

managing partners officially merged April 1.

Unlike other newspapers that incorporate both the good

and bad news, New View Media Group will feature onlygood news.

“We will have a group of community newspapers with

good family friendly content,” says Nicastro. “There are

other publications as in any market we are in but we try to

bring a different perspective with all good news.”The name, New View Media Group LLC, came from

“The idea that we have a new view on media,” saysNicastro.

profit organizations, volunteer services, children’s groups,

scouts, fundraisers and more will be featured in the pages

of New View Media Group. The company’s philosophy is

to showcase and inform all readers about the good thatsurrounds them day to day, the positive, and the unique-ness of their community.

The Marketeer, a free shopper-type supplement deliv-

ered monthly to all homes, has been around for the past 30

years. By growing these papers, the community will have

all the positive news at their fingertips.Established in 2003 with just two monthlies in Mt.

Olive and Hackettstown, MJ Media which stands for “My

Jersey Media” grew to eight free monthlies over the years

reaching 84,831 homes and businesses. They include the

Mt. Olive News, Hackettstown News, Roxbury News,

Randolph News, Black River News, Musconetcong News,Black River News, Morristown News and Mendham

News.

“Both groups complimented each other with their cir-

culations so for local businesses it will be very benefi-

cial,” says Nicastro. Despite the digital age, 2015 is agreat time for community newspapers.

“Free community papers are different than paid

papers,” explains Nicastro. “People want local news and it

is hard to find. The hyper local sites are good. There is

something about having a paper to hold, people still call

us for copies when their kids are in the paper so they can

cut it out and hang it up- different than printing it off aprinter.”

The additional seven papers include the Livingston

News, Hanover News, Caldwell News, Verona/Cedar

Grove News, Millburn/Short Hills News, East

Hanover/Florham Park News, and Maplewood/South

Orange News.The greatest challenge faced by the new company will

be “Getting information from the community,” says

Nicastro.

The community is the best source for information.

People serve as the eyes and ears as to what is going on

around them. Please send all press releases and positivenews stories to mjmediaeditor@gmail. com.

As a free newspaper, the company depends on paid

advertising. Contact Joe Nicastro at 800-691-7549 or

[email protected].

Spring Boutique Blooming

Walk For Autism In Livingston

In an effort to promote New Jersey’s

tourism industry, Assembly

Republicans Nancy F. Muñoz and

Anthony Bucco sponsor legislation thatallows people to view online the state’s

war efforts from the American Revolution

to the Vietnam War. The bill recently won

Assembly Tourism, Gaming and the ArtsCommittee approval.

“Many people who plan a vacation start

the process with a Google search. New

Jersey, and all it has to offer vacationers,

needs to be in that queue,” said Muñoz, R-

Union, Morris and Somerset. “As one of

the original 13 colonies, our state played asignificant role in the American

Revolution. Several important battles were

fought here including the Battle of

Trenton, the Battle of Millstone, and the

Battles of Monmouth and Princeton. Wewere also instrumental in supporting many

of our nation’s other war efforts. Allowing

people to view online these historical

events will hopefully entice them to visit

our state and these sites in person.”

“New Jersey is famous for its warefforts from the American Revolution to

the Civil War and World Wars I and II,”

said Bucco, R-Morris. “General

Washington set up two winter camps in

Morristown where the Ford family also ran

a powder mill that supplied needed powderfor the early war effort. During World War

I, our state was a center of shipbuilding

and manufacturing. That continued in

World War II as many of our nation’s bat-

tleships, aircraft carriers, heavy cruisersand destroyers were built in our shipyards.

Promoting tourism by highlighting these

places and events via the internet is an

opportunity we should take advantage of.”

The bill, A-4278, requires the Divisionof Travel and Tourism in the Department

of State, in consultation with the NewJersey Historical Commission, to develop

a list and an online historic tour of war bat-

tles fought and places of historic signifi-

cance to the military and war efforts in NJ.

A Pathway To Your

Family’s Health

Chiropractic • Massage Therapy

C

hiropractors and other complemen-

tary practitioners are becoming

more popular amongst patients.When the time comes to find a traditional

doctor, many people find the process to be

relatively easy. Some doctors may be rec-

ommended by a friend, while others opt

for a physician that has been treating theirfamilies for years. Certain health manage-

ment and insurance plans may dictate cer-

tain "in-plan" providers, searchable by a

particular location and practice. Finding an

alternative medical provider, or one whospecializes in complementary medicine,

may not be as simple.Practitioners who provide complemen-

tary and alternative medicine, known as

CAM, are those who specialize in chiro-

practics, naturopathy, acupuncture, andherbal remedies. Millions of people now

see CAM providers in addition to their

standard physicians. The U.S. Department

of Health and Human Services estimates

that at least 40 percent of adults and 12percent of children have used a CAM

provider.

Chiropractic is the largest alternativehealth care practice today. Chiropractors

attend college then spend four years in a

chiropractic graduate program, meaning achiropractor actually attends more class

hours then a medical doctor. Top athletes

have been turning to chiropractors for

years and they have become quite popular

with the general public in recent decades.Dr. Jeffrey Shulman is a chiropractor in

Livingston. He says that since the life line

of your entire body (your spinal cord) is

housed in the bones in your back, this partof your body deserves special attention."The bones of the spine were designed to

stay arranged in a certain alignment. When

they are in proper alignment they provide

maximum protection for the spinal cord

and allow nerve impulses to travel at the

proper speed." With proper alignment, hesays, the nerve impulses can get the right

messages to the right parts of the body effi-

ciently.

But, with the wear and tear of life,

beginning with birth, our spinal cords see alot of trauma.

"When the bones become misaligned,

called a subluxation, it puts pressure on the

spinal cord. This can interfere with, andslow down the important messages being

sent from the brain through the nerveimpulses." Dr. Shulman adds that only a

chiropractor is trained to diagnose and

treat subluxation. Not only can a chiro-practor like Dr. Shulman treat back pain,

but he or she can also help with everything

from muscle and joint pain to head and ear

aches, allergies, and gastrointestinal disor-

ders, to name a few.Complementary and alternative medi-

cine is made up of a diverse set of thera-

pies and healing philosophies. While tradi-

tional doctors may treat illnesses, manyCAM providers are employing techniques

to prevent illnesses in the first place.Dissatisfaction with traditional medicine

has led many people to seek the help of

CAM providers.

Prospective patients can find a CAM

provider is several ways. Start with yourdoctor or another health care provider, who

may offer a referral, particularly if this

doctor is in favor of traditional medicine

working in conjunction with alternative

therapies.Some regional medical centers and hos-

pitals may have CAM practitioners on

staff. You can seek information from such

organizations by calling them directly or

going online to see a listing of staff. There

are a number of professional organizationsfor CAM providers. An online search may

yield various organizations that offer

regional referrals.

To meet the rising demand for comple-

mentary and alternative care services,

many healthinsurance plans have options for you to

access these services. However, many

plans provide only limited coverage for

many CAM services.

Individuals should keep in mind thatunless CAM services are covered by insur-

ance, it is very likely that all expenses will

be out-of-pocket. When searching for a

specialist, be sure to find one who is qual-

ified and verify his or her training, certifi-cations and licensing before beginning any

treatment.Dr. Jeffrey Shulman is located at 22 Old

Short Hills Rd, #109, Livingston. His

office number is 973-994-1992.

Anna Coats, Head of Youth Services at Livingston

Public Library, was accepted to the American

Libraries Association (ALA) Class of 2015

Emerging Leaders. Her participation is sponsored by the

Public Library Association (PLA).

The American Library Association (ALA) is the oldest

and largest library association in the world. It provides

association information, news, events, and advocacy

resources. Founded in 1876, the mission of ALA is to pro-

vide leadership for the development, promotion, and

improvement of library and information services and the

profession of librarianship in order to enhance learning

and ensure access to information for all. The ALA

Emerging Leaders (EL) program was initiated in 1997

under former ALA President Mary R. Somerville,

Director of Libraries in the Miami-Dade (FL) Public

Library System, and revived in 2006 under former ALA

President Leslie Burger, Director of Princeton (NJ)

Public Library.

The ALA Emerging Leaders (EL) program is a leader-

ship development program which enables newer library

workers from across the country to participate in prob-

lem-solving work groups, network with peers, and have

an opportunity to serve the profession in a leadership

capacity.

This year ALA selected only 50 librarians to partici-

pate in the EL program, and Livingston’s Head of Youth

Services, Anna Coats, is one of them. Coats is working

with a team of five librarians on PLA MembershipEngagement.

“PLA is looking for new ways to engage members,

especially new and potential members,” Coats said. “I am

working with my team to create a comprehensive survey

and connect with as many library networks as possible so

that we get a wide range of answers and needs. In many

ways this is like patron engagement here at the library. I

am working with my team in Youth Services and the

Library Director to think of new ways to engage patrons

who regularly visit the library as well as ways to attract

more patrons to the library. Livingston Public Library is

working on a strategic plan, and one way we will learn

how we can better serve our community is to compile a

comprehensive survey and analyze the findings.”

Coats first met her Emerging Leaders team at a day-

long session during the 2015 ALA Midwinter Meeting in

Chicago and they continue to work together virtually.

Their work will culminate with a poster session at the

ALA 2015 Annual Conference in San Francisco.

upport groups for families, and children, facingissues are growing in the area as fast as the green

grass and flower buds this spring.Family Alliance Foundation is a new nonprofit corpo-ration in New Jersey with a legacy that is expanding andsupport groups forming throughout the area, with divi-sions and chapters soon to be spreading throughout theworld.

The goal of the alliance is to serve as advocates forthose facing issues and provide solutions whether throughsupport groups or steering them in the direction for helpand change. The organization is launching its globalmovement to heal and strengthen families and communi-ties.

“Our world is in crisis,” say the founders of thealliance. “Families are divided, divorced and in need of healing. Our children are in need of compassion, empathyand resources to make them whole. We are advocates whoprovide solutions through programs that include educa-tion, inspiration and motivation. We collaborate withother entities who provide food, shelter, clothing and otherresources that help people move from ‘survive’ to‘thrive.’”

Established in Nov. 2014, the foundation’s purpose is“to educate and inspire families to grow mentally, physi-

cally, financially and spiritually and have them leave alegacy for all future generations to come,” as stated on thewebsite.

To implement their vision, Dr. Ted Fattoross, Dr. DebraBrooks and Ginny Gutierrez have partnered to create thefoundation, bringing their knowledge of speaking, coun-seling and marketing.

“We all know someone whose family is in crisis,” theysay. “The breakdown of our society and the fundamentalreason our systems are broken, is the breakdown of ourfamilies.”

Whether it involves family issues, divorce issues,alienation, bullying, “We will become the support group,”says Fattoross, chief executive officer and founder of theFamily Alliance Foundation.

“As parents and grandparents, each of us is chargedwith the mission of raising our children to do good in theworld,” organizers say. “Today, as we look to our owncommunity, there is a need to heal and strengthen our fam-ilies, as the core of a strong society are strong families.”

“We will be having legs,” says Fattoross. “We aren’tstationary or stagnant.” The foundation has created aLegacy program, another division with chapters aroundthe world, including most recent chapters being formed inMorristown and Denville.

Through Legacy “we will have events” or support

groups at various locations like Panera Bread or locallibraries. There will be resources for websites steeringwhere to turn for help, as well as online support groups.

“We have an army of people signing up to volunteer forthese groups,” he says. With some form of counselingbackground or expertise, Fattoross is looking for volun-teers he will train to start a support group.

“We want leaders of chapters of Family AllianceFoundation all around the world,” says Fattoross, a well-known international keynote speaker, seminar leader,coach and consultant. “Let’s say you are traveling, youcan go to a facilitator there and get similar support.”

Support group topics will cover many areas such as:family related issues like relationships, stress, values,ethics and parenting; parental and grandparent alienation;sensitivity training and tolerance for anyone involved withchildren, from caretakers, police officers to judges; anti-bullying; character education; teen pregnancy; domesticviolence and domestic silence; conflict resolution and peermediation; career direction and job readiness; stress andchange management.

There are three initiatives of the foundation: familyrelationships- to educate and inspire families to growmentally, physically, financially, spiritually and abundant-ly; parental alienation- to create awareness, then educate,

and eliminate this cancer to society; andJudicial, government, legal and lawenforcement - to form an alliance with the

"systems" that are charged with theresponsibility to manage our children andfamilies, to collaborate through programsas a means to “foster a deeper sensitivity tothe needs of everyone while always havingthe best interest of the children in mind.”

Many issues faced by children, such asanti-bullying and suicide, can be reduced if they had the proper role models at home,says Fattoross.

“If the children don’t find the heroes atthe dinner table, they will find them in the

street,” he says. “It all starts in the home.No child was ever born a bully.“Children, they might do as we say,

they might do as we do,” says Fattoross.“A hero is not a dad who makes a milliondollars.” A hero is a dad or a mom whogave up their scholarships so they can behome with their mother who has cancer, so“they ended up flipping burgers rather thangoing to NYU.

“It’s not how much gold we leave ourchildren that’s important; it’s how littlebaggage we pass on to them that truly mat-ters,” says Fattoross, 57, father of three

kids who calls himself “a recoveringwork-a-holic.”

Noted as having the “world’s record” of the largest number of speaking presenta-tions, Fattoross spends a great deal of timediscussing the issues and delivering moti-vational speeches to various audiencesfrom schools to prisons, corporations andeven homeless shelters.

He has spent the last 25 years present-ing 8,500 speaking presentations through-out the world, inspiring more than 250,000

people each year “to be the best they canbe.” He has covered 2,000 topics fromcharacter education, values and ethics,anti-bullying programs, leadership andteamwork; featured on national television,radio programs and newspapers; andserved on the advisory boards of Fortune500 companies, government, non-profitand educational agencies.

Through all his work and knowledge,

Global Movement...

Fattoross decided it was time to “pay thisforward.” He joined forces with Dr. DebraBrooks, executive director of the founda-tion, who works in Washington, DC, as a

counselor dealing with issues from teenpregnancy, family, divorce and separation;as well as Ginny Gutierrez, foundationpresident, who specializes in marketingand research.

Fattoross says “we have a moral obliga-tion to help each other. I believe that whenwe go through struggle, we have a moralobligation to tell our story, to have our vic-tory lift up others to give them the oppor-tunity to escape their personal crises.

There is purpose in our pain.”He notes that the message he is trying to

Mother’s Day Gift Guide

Mother's Day is

right around thecorner, and this

special holiday serves to

honor all those women who

devote so much time andeffort to their families. While

gifts and other trinkets are

certainly part of the celebra-

tion, a vast majority of chil-

dren opt to treat Mom to a

night out on the town comeMother's Day. Not only does

this give mom a night off

from cooking, but also it

presents an opportunity to

get dressed up and spendtime together as a family.

A vast number of families

travel to their favorite restau-

rants for Mother's Day

meals. Mother's Day is one

of the busiest holidays of the

year for restaurants. The

National Retail Federationsays 54.8 percent of

Americans treat their moth-ers to a special meal out on

Mother's Day. Billions of

dollars are generated by peo-

ple eating out with their

mothers. With large crowds

to be expected, diners canfollow a few tips when treat-

ing Mom to a meal.

• Book early ... very early.

To guarantee a reservation at

any restaurant, namely yourfavorite restaurant, you will

need to make a reservation

well in advance of Mother's

Day. It's never too early to

put your name on the reser-

vation list. Don't forgetMother's Day is Sunday,

May 11, 2014.

• Expect to wait. Even

with a reservation, you'rebound to spend some time

waiting at the restaurant.Other families may be lin-

gering at their tables, as no

one wants to rush Mom out

of the door. Plan accordingly

for a potentially long wait

time. This means having asnack before you leave.

Don't arrive famished, as no

one wants the dining party to

be hungry and cranky, which

is not a good way to cele-brate Mom. Have plenty of

snacks and drinks on hand

for young children, as well

as activities to keep them

entertained.

• Consider dining out aday before or after.

Restaurants are generally

Tips for Dining Out on Mother's Day

packed on Mother's Day, and

as a result kitchen and wait

staffs might be overtaxed.

What's more, diners might

be relegated to a special or

abbreviated menu. If youwant a more relaxed setting

and the ability to order what-ever you desire, it may be a

better idea to celebrate

Mother's Day in advance.Then have Mom enjoy a

relaxing day at home on her

special day.

• Take-out is an option.

Families can treat Mom to a

dinner out, without reallyhaving to go out. Many

restaurants offer takeout

service, so you will not be

limited to pizza or Chinese.

Even chain restaurants havecurbside service, so if Mom

is in the mood for a burger or

something more elaborate,

she'll have that option.

• Expect an included gra-tuity. Restaurants often

include a gratuity in the bill

when servicing larger par-

ties, such as those that mightbe celebrating Mother's Day.

The standard gratuity rate is18 percent, but you may

want to go above and

beyond if you feel the serv-

ice is exemplary.• Hire a sitter for young

kids. Although Mother's

Day is a chance for the

entire family to spend time

together, the main goal is to

ensure Mom's comfort and

happiness. If very youngchildren are in tow, she may

not be able to relax andenjoy her meal. Infants will

need to be fed, and toddlers

may be easily distracted.

Have a sitter watch littleones when adults are dining

out, and then Mom can

enjoy time with the kids

when she returns home for

more celebrating.

While some kids are sitting at their kitchen tablesdoing their homework, others are sitting in hos-

pital beds receiving treatments for pediatric

cancer.

Eighth graders Ashley Raz of Livingston and Tallie

Elisha of Short Hills found out first-hand what a life shat-tering event being diagnosed with pediatric cancer can be

when Tallie was undergoing treatment for Acute

Lymphoblastic Leukemia at Memorial Sloan-Kettering.

Ashley wanted to do something to help make a differ-

ence for Tallie and the other children who were suffering.It started out as an idea for her Mitzva project. It began as

bake sales in her yard; then it was a giving page through

the Memorial Sloan-Kettering website. Then Ashley and

Tallie had an idea for an event, Catwalk4Cancer, to raise

money for Memorial Sloan-Kettering to use for pediatriccancer research. Last year was the first event and it raised$38,000 for the cause.

Their successes only spurred them on to raise more, and

this year, the second Annual Catwalk for Cancer has raised

$58,000.

The fundraising group that the Elisha and Raz familiesorganized is called TeamTallie, and so far between all the

different fundraisers, they have raised more than $100,000

for pediatric cancer research. For Ashleyand Tallie, it feels good to be working

toward a cure.

On March 22 from 3 p.m. to 5 p.m. theEisenhower Corporate Campus in

Livingston, became a fun fashion power-

house for good. During the first hour therewere raffles of gift baskets which had been

donated by local vendors. A magician was

performing mystifying tricks. There was

face painting and balloons for the kids.

Also during this time Caring Capital, aunique local organization which works

with businesses on team building while

also running a volunteer project, had

Hearts4Cancer going on. At their tables,children were able to decorate heart tileswhich were assembled to make 20 collages

each with four tiles. Twenty children who

are receiving cancer treatment at Memorial

Sloan-Kettering will each receive a collage.

In the second half of the evening the

show began. First were introductions talk-ing about where the funds were going and

a personal testimony by a local family

impacted by the work by Memorial Sloan-Kettering. After the speeches, the main

event took place, in which more than 40

models walked the runway for a cure. Eachmodel also did fundraising prior to the

event with individual fundraising pages.

The clothes and accessories were providedby local merchants. The models were all

children between the ages of four and 14

who were excited to strut their stuff for

pediatric cancer research.

This is only the beginning of the storyfor Ashley and Tallie, both 14 years old.

After having suffered through cancer and

seen other children suffering, some of

whom were not as fortunate as Tallie, thesegirls want to keep working for a cure. Tallieis in remission and received her last treat-

ment about six months ago.

This event isn't only about fundraising,

but also raises awareness of pediatric can-

cer.

There is a lot of information aboutbreast cancer out there and that has really

driven the fundraising movement. Hearing

personal stories and knowing people who

have personally been affected motivatespeople to become involved in the fight for

the cure. Attending events like

Catwalk4Cancer and making a heart col-lage for children who are suffering, brings

the reality of the situation home. Meeting

Tallie and other survivors of pediatric can-cer makes the abstract idea of cancer a per-

sonal reality.

Steve Raz, Ashley's father, commented"You may have seen our tag line 'Together

we will find a cure' and it can't come soon

enough."If interested in learning more or to join

in with Team Tallie to fight for a cure to

pediatric cancer go to www.crowdrise.com/teamtallie.

Catwalk to Raise Money...continued from previous page

According to a Pew Research Centeranalysis of data from the UnitedStates Census Bureau, four out of

ten new marriages in 2013 included at leastone partner who had been married before.

Half of those marriages were remarriagesfor both spouses. That change is no greatsurprise, as the Pew analysis noted that thenumber of remarried adults has tripled since1960, when there were 14 million remarriedmen and women in the United States. Thatfigure reached 42 million in 2013. Thatmeans that nearly 25 percent of adults whoare presently married have been marriedbefore. Pew analysts feel the rise in remar-

riages can be linked to a number of factors,including the aging of the population. Asmen and women are living longer, thatincreases the number of widows and widow-ers who can remarry. While many might

think divorcees are less willing to remarryafter the death of a spouse or the dissolutionof a marriage for other reasons, the Censusdata indicates adults are just as likelytoremarry in 2013 as they were in the 1960s.Interestingly enough, the number of adultswho have been married once is on thedecline. In 1960, 85 percent of adults hadbeen married once, while that figure was just70 percent in 2013.

Livingston Woman Raises Moneyand Awareness For Kids with Arthritis

By Cheryl Conway, Editor

The snow may have kept some away from attending

the kick off dinner/fundraiser for the upcoming

Arthritis Foundation Walk in Verona, but come Junebe ready to put on those sneakers and walk for awareness.

The website is up and running for participants to sign upand start donating for the 11th Annual Arthritis FoundationWalk set for Sunday, June 7. Go to http://www.walkto-curearthritis.verona.kintera.org to sign up or donate.

Dr. Elizabeth Chalom of Livingston, a pediatricrheumatologist at St. Barnabas Medical Center inLivingston, has been organizing the walk for the past 11years to raise awareness of arthritis especially in children.Through her efforts, the walk raises about $100,000 a year,with last year’s event reaching one million dollars raised

since the walk began 10 years earlier in 2004.“It’s a great fundraiser to help support research to find a

cure,” support the camp and other activities organized bythe Arthritis Foundation, says Chalom, a volunteer with thefoundation for years. The mother of four started the walk“to do something for kids with arthritis.”

Although the walk is for anybody, the event is gearedmostly toward kids with games, balloons, face painting andprizes. The event allows kids with arthritis to meet other

kids with arthritis, as well as their families.“When I joined [the foundation] I wanted to do some

cool things,” she says. “A lot of kids with arthritis don’t

know other kids with arthritis.” Some kids are not evenaware that other kids do have arthritis, “why they are stiff in the morning,” why they limp or can’t run as fast, sheexplains.

“That’s why we started the walks; that’s why we startedthe camp,” explains Chalom, who takes care of kids whohave juvenile arthritis through her profession. “It’s justhelpful.”

Chalom was in medical school when her brother wasdiagnosed with arthritis at the age of 18 so she is quiteaware of the effects arthritis can have on those who sufferfrom the condition at an early age.

“So many think of arthritis as an old person’s disease,”says Chalom. “Having any chronic illness can be isolating,you can’t see knees swollen under their pants or they can’thold a pencil. It’s a chronic illness” but “doesn’t get theattention that it deserves.”

Chalom says even gym teachers sometimes do notbelieve that a child has arthritis and questions them whenthey are not as active as others.

Sufferers get injections and take medicine to treat their

condition.“We try to publicize it as much as possible so others

understand what these children go through,” says Chalom,associate professor of Pediatrics at University of Medicine

and Dentistry of NJ, and director of PediatricRheumatology at St. Barnabas Medical Center.

The walk not only raises awareness, but it allows kidsto “make their own support group. They are there for eachother. Older kids text each other.”

Chalom held a fundraising dinner for the walk andfoundation on Fri., March 20, at Costas Restaurant inRoselle Park. Two young adults with arthritis shared theirstories growing up with arthritis and a trick tray was held.About 70 people attended, less than planned because of thesnow.

Participants for the walk are from near and far. “Most

people come from far away and form their own teams,”says Chalom. The walk is a one-mile stretch around thelake “so kids with arthritis can do the walk,” with stopsalong the way to play games and win prizes.

There is no cost to sign up for the walk, but as afundraiser, donations are expected. Sign up athttp://www.walktocure arthritis.verona.kintera.org; or joinChalom’s team (The Joint Effort) at: http://www.walkto-curearthritis.verona.kintera.org/jointeffort.

Nicholas Mathus of Flanders hasfound his niche, and how ironic thathis passion for history stems from

his very own past.

Determined to share history with othersand preserve our nation’s past, Nick followsin the footsteps of his father and grandfather(also named Nick) whose love for history ismuch the same. Since he was three yearsold, Nick has visited more than 80 historicsites and videotaped their significance, allwith the help from his father Glenn Mathus.

The fourteen year old is known as “NickThe History Kid,” and he has teamed up hisfather, Glenn, to produce historical videos.An eighth grader at The PECK School inMorristown, Nick’s main goal is to show his

peers how fun and interesting history is andwhy sites should be preserved.“History is fun and should be preserved

for future generations,” says Nick. “If wedidn’t have history we wouldn’t be heretoday. It’s our nation’s past of how we gothere today. If we don’t preserve it, it’s goingto be destroyed.”

His motto: “New Jersey: from theRevolutionary War to the Jersey Shore bothHistory and Fun awaits You!” Most of his

videos cover NJ’s historical sites, but alsocover treasures throughout the United Stateswhen vacationing or traveling for sports.

“When we go to swim or track we findhistorical places,” says Glenn, like Motown,

Key West-Florida, Henry Ford Museum inMichiganAlthough Nick began his role four years

ago as Nick The History Kid and postinghistorical videos online, his first video datesback to when he was three years old atGettysburg. In that video, Glenn recalls Nicksaying ‘Let’s Go Soldier’…and it’s beenhistory ever since.

“That’s how far it goes back,” his love forhistory, says Glenn. “My dad passed it ontoto him. My dad used to take me all over in1965. He loved history too; he was a big

George Washington man and Civil War. Igrew up with what my dad liked.”With 80 videos so far, Nick’s footage

lasts anywhere between four to fifteen min-utes, provide historical details of the locationwith some humor to keep the viewer’s inter-est.

His visits have him flying an airplane anda helicopter, scuba diving, high diving at theend of the West Point video, and riding oneof the oldest roller coasters.

Flanders Teen Videos Historic Sites For Preservation

For the video filmed at the Henry FordMuseum in Dearborn, Michigan, Nick pro-vides a brief history of the helicopter and themuseum, where the first successful helicop-ter is preserved, and then flies a helicopter.

Last year, they traveled everywhere fromDetroit “where we are the only video onYouTube that takes you inside Motown’s

Historic Studio A, and to the ConfederateWhite House in Richmond, VA.,” saysGlenn.

His video on the Charles LindberghCrime of the Century Video took twomonths to complete as they traveled to fourdifferent cities to tell the whole story. They

first went to Washington, DC, showing the Spirit of SaintLouis which was the high point of Lindbergh’s life.

Next, they visited the Lindbergh Estate in East Amwellwhere Nick got special permission to film inside the baby’snursery, the scene of the 1932 kidnapping.

“We filmed in the Lindbergh Babies nursery and recreat-ed the leaving of the ransom note on the window sill,”explains Glenn. In 1935 Lindbergh gifted the estate to theState of NJ, and it is now a juvenile state correctional facili-ty. “No tourism here,” says Glenn. But, “We were the first toshow the estate today and tour the grounds speculating whathappened that night in 1932.”

They then went to the Flemington Court House where thetrial of the century happened; and finally to West Trenton tovisit the NJ State Police Museum where all the evidencefrom the trial is kept; and the final scene, back at theFlemington Court House where Nick is the judge in the“Retrial of the Century” and convicts Bruno Hauptmann

based on what we believe happened.“This is truly a surprise ending that could not have hap-

pened without the help of many people in high places,” saysGlenn. “Nick got to sit in the judge’s chair as the judge” andthe chair inside the cell that Hauptmann was electrocuted in.“People don’t get to see the settings.”

For sites indoors he receives special permission.“Our objective is to show people something they could

never see on any regular tour,” says Glenn. “In Nick’s videoon the Hindenburg, we were given permission to climb his-toric Hanger number one with our guide. At 190 feet up at

the top of the Hanger one could imagine the Hindenburgentering the hangar below us.” Only the History Channeland the Weather Channel were allowed to climb and film thehangar from above.

Nick was also allowed to enter the mock-up control carused in the movie Hindenburg starring George C. Scott.

Nick explains all the controls and demonstrates how theHindenburg was flown.At Mount Vernon in 2012 Nick had the “high honor” of

participating in a special wreath laying at GeorgeWashington's tomb in front of 100 people.

In his video highlighting cemeteries, Nick visits hisgrandfather’s grave as well as several famous people such asJudy Garland, James Cagney, Ed Sullivan, Joan Crawford,Babe Ruth and Malcolm X, all buried within an hour fromeach other, notes Glenn.

In another video, he outlines the history of roller-coasters,mostly in Coney Island, NY, and rides one of the oldestroller-coasters- the Cyclone.

“It’s so cool to go to every event involved,” says Nick.“Sometimes it’s difficult to find the time. We schedule it” forSaturday mornings or when they travel especially for swim-ming and track in which Nick holds multiple gold medals,broken records and the title “Junior Swimmer of the Year”for the second year in a row,” says Glenn.

His latest mission is to help preserve the Martin BerryHouse (built in 1720) in Pequannock, “12 years beforeGeorge Washington was born” when the British ruled theland.

“If the town doesn’t buy it, it will be another strip mall,”

says Glenn. “We attended several of the monthly meetingsand will be involved in promoting the home, when it’sacquired by the town.” They plan to shoot a video at thehome then share that history with the local schools.

Nick and I are one of the many "Friends of the MartinBerry House," a strong and dedicated group of history lov-

ing people who want to see the township preserve this beau-tiful home, one of the oldest homes in Pequannock. “Nickand I are committed to preserving, promoting and volunteer-ing this historical treasure. Nick was the youngest attendeeto publicly speak at one of the town council meetings.”

They are also trying to get permission to film theGallows of Morristown inside the Morris County CourtHouse. The last public hanging in Morristown was in 1835,says Glenn, and the gallows have been stored in the “oldcourthouse in Morristown,” he says.

Nick also promotes historic sites by volunteering histime there. He currently has 96 volunteer hours at theWashington Headquarters in Morristown.

“We must remember our history and the people who paidfor our freedom,” says Glenn. “My son’s message is goodand his goal is to raise interest in the leaders of tomorrowthat these historical treasures are to be preserved for futuregenerations to come. If tomorrow’s adults lose interest inthese buildings then funding will be cut off and they will dis-appear.”

o one wants to move into a home, only to discoverthat there are already some current occupants- thefour and six-legged kind! Insects, particularly pests

like bed bugs, aren’t easy to spot during a quick hometour...and they don’t exactly move when the former residentsdo.

With infestations continuing to rise in the New Jersey andNew York areas, it’s important to go into the home buyingprocess armed with plenty of information and proactivestrategies to make your move stress-free. We turned to StanGrabowski, owner of GreenHeat NJ, which provides anenvironmentally-friendly heat-based service for eradicatingbugs, bacteria and viruses from homes. He gave us somegood advice, so read more below, whether you’re in the mar-ket for a new home, or content with your current abode.What are some signs of infestation that potential home

buyers should be on the lookout for?Insect infestations when in the "Home Buying" process

are addressed only by asking specifically about "wooddestroying insects" such as Termites and Carpenter Ants orBeetles. In fact most properties for sale will have a docu-ment called the "Sellers Disclosure" that asks for disclosureof both Termite and Carpenter Ants specifically. Our serviceaddresses what is not seen, asked about, or volunteered.

Bed Bugs and Dust Mites just to name a few, are the typeof pests that are microscopic and in the case of Bed Bugs,

nocturnal. Sometimes, and this is possible, the prior occu-pant of the home left them behind.

Currently in the US there are 21 States that require by law

any "known" Bed Bug history at a property, to be disclosedto a prospective buyer just as wood destroying insects. Butat this time, New Jersey is not one of them.

When viewing a potential home, what types of thingsshould we do should...look at beds or in cracks or in closets?

There really is very little that can be done other than askspecific questions, and hope for honest answers. Theseinsects hide and nest under baseboards, behind moldings,behind paneling, wallpaper door hinges, the is a partial listof harborages.Is there a certain time of day that is better to tour a hometo check for bugs?

With the type of insects we are referring to here I don't

think it would matter much.Is it possible to be sure a home is bed bug free without a

professional check?Not really. There are two options to do a Bed Bug inspec-

tion.1. Is to have a K9 inspection of the property. These

inspections are done by dogs that are trained and certified topick up the scent of a BedBug and indicate an infestation. Atypical inspection averages $375 to $500 per home.

2. Another option is to have a company like ours install

monitors. We have monitors that are chemically designedwith an Attractant to draw Bed Bugs. The only problemthere is time frame. It may n44r 48 hours or it could a few

days and there is no guarantee.Who should a potential home buyer call to do such a pro-fessional check?

A Licensed Pest Control company like GREEN HEATNJ, LLC. We have been using a line of monitors with goodresults in multi-family properties that we service. The onlydownside for the potential home buyer is that these monitorsare Bed Bug specific. Our heat service goes beyond BedBug eradication. This service is designed to deliver highlevel heat treatments that not only eradicate Bed Bugs but ahost of other pests.

Every living organism has a lethal thermal death point.Here are just a few of the Thermal Death Points:

Bed Bug- 125' F of Heat they are dead in 3 MinutesDust Mite- 105'F of Heat they are dead in 10 MinutesAnts- 130' F of Heat they are dead in 1 MinuteGerman Cockroach- 130' F of Heat they are dead in 7

Minutes.If a home buyer purchases a home but later finds there

are infestations what should he or she do?Pick up the phone and call us. Any type of insect infes-

tation should be addressed right away. The sooner the better

Homeowners choose renovation projects for a vari-

ety of reasons. Although many improvements aremade to increase functionality and comfort of a

home, several others are seen as worthwhile investments.

These investments can add up to a higher resale value whenthe time comes to sell a home.

Certain projects have a history of providing a greater

return on homeowners' investments than others. The fol-

lowing seven renovation tips can add beauty to your home

and generate great returns when you put the home up for

sale.1. Invest in your kitchen. Kitchen remodels are a safe bet

when it comes to putting money into improving a home.

Residents tend to spend a great deal of time in the kitchen,but a dated, poorly functioning kitchen can detract from the

value of a home, even if the rest of the home is in goodshape. It's possible to recoup between 60 and 120 percent of

your kitchen remodel investment, especially if the kitchen

matches up well with the rest of your home. Homeowners

should know that a deluxe renovation may not be necessary,

as relatively moderate improvements can create a wholenew look for a kitchen.

2. Look to paint. One of the least expensive improve-

ment materials, but one that has a significant impact, is

paint. Neutral, modern colors can easily liven up any space.If you paint with low-VOC paint, you also can advertise aneco-friendly home, which is very desireable these days.

3. Put in another bathroom. Multiple bathrooms are an

attractive selling point, particularly in older homes that may

not have been equipped with more than one bathroom.

Finding extra space for a bathroom can be tricky, but con-

sider closets, areas under stairs or even taking some spaceaway from another room. Popular home-improvement tele-

vision channel HGTV advises that half-bathrooms require

at least 18 square feet of space, while full baths need 30 to

35 square feet for a stand-up shower or bathtub.

4. Renovate the HVAC system. Aesthetic improvementsaren't the only ones that add value to a home. Many home

buyers are eager to purchase a home that has a new heating

and cooling system, as buyers understand that furnaces and

air conditioning units are substantial investments that can

last for years. Other improvements, such as adding atticinsulation or replacing older windows and doors with more

energy efficient options, also are smart bets.

5. Add illumination to rooms. A dark home is a dreary

home. Adding light can mean including more overhead and

accent lighting. Under-cabinet task lighting is a nice touch.

Inclusion of skylights and sun tubes can bring natural lightinto rooms that may not have south- or westfacing win-dows.

6. Put a deck addition outdoors. Outdoor living spaces

have become more desireable, especially as the "staycation"

has grown in popularity. Decks and patios can make back-

yards more appealing. The scope of your investment will

depend on the size of the deck and design. Doing the workyourself can cut the cost of decks in half, but only if you

have the specific tools or experience to tackle such a proj-

ect.

7. Improve curb appeal. Adding attractive landscaping

and freshening up the entryway to a home can add consid-erable value to your home, as buyers judge homes by their

exteriors. Completely renovated interiors may never be

seen if buyers pass up your home because of a less attrac-

tive exterior. Classy, subtle changes, like well-placed shrub-

bery and a green lawn, can work wonders. An inviting frontdoor and well-lit entryway also add curb appeal to a home.

Before making improvements, homeowners should deter-

mine if a given project will provide a solid return on their

investment.

Bed Bug treatment costs will vary on

the type of treatment, size of the home

and areas being treated.

As a rule of thumb treatment per room

could average $650.00. A typical three

bedroom home anywhere from $2,500

on up. There are many variables that

have to be considered.

Tell me more about the heat eradica-

tion service. Is this a new technology?Heat treatments involving insects

have been a subject studied since the

1980's by many Universities. Over the

past two decade the technology has been

fine tuned, the equipment has been

improved.

The "BTU" heat output is monitored

in a safe temperature range so there is nodamage or threat of damaging being

done to the dwelling or any of the rooms

contents.

That is with the equipment we are

using. The wrong equipment can cause

damage.

Our equipment is portable allowing us

to deliver service almost anywhere,

quickly and we always provide our serv-

ice discretely.Is it safe?

Yes it is safe, and these treatments

have been perfected. Inexperience and

using the wrong type of heating equip-

ment can be extremely dangerous.

Our heaters are designed and built

with internal thermostats that prohibit

Pest Prevention for Home Buyers...

continued from page 20 the heater from bringing the rooms tem-perature above 140 degrees. We normal-

ly stay in the 130's with our treatments.

We also use "Temperature Probes" which

allow us to monitor the room tempera-

ture remotely from outside the treatment

area.

Is the whole house heated or just par-

ticular areas of the home?

With our Home Buyer program we

recommend a whole house treatmentbefore the move in. This way we have

complete access to the entire envelope of

the dwelling allowing us to treat every

crack and crevice without obstruction.

We also have special compound that we

apply as a preventive measure.

This service is priced a little different

and since there is no furniture or furnish-ings to move it is a different type of

process. The cost is equivalent to that of

a professional paint job per room.

What can your type of treatment do

for other pests and infestations beyond

just bed bugs?

With our treatment and the com-

pound being used we know that we also

go beyond pests. One treatment is with a

product that is a Bactericide, Sanitizer,Fungicide, Insecticide, Deodorant,

Germicide and Viricide.
