    Flowers and green grass are not the only thingsblooming this spring. The Marketeer has blossomed

    from eight monthly community newspapers to fif-

    teen, and is changing its name.

    And like pollen that spreads from birds and bees, newsthat brightens, enlightens, entertains and inspires will be

    reaching the mailboxes of 170,000 homes and businessesstarting 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 Flanders

    of the former MJ Media have formed a partnership with

    Marketeer owner Darwin Oordt of Cherry Hill to establishNew 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 only

    good news.

    Hanover Wind Symphony has more thandoubled in size. Roughly half the members

    have been in the symphony for over 15

    years. Such longevity is rare in a group of 

    this nature, demonstrating the dedicationand devotion of the players as well asenhancing the distinctive character of the

    band.

    for enriching the cultural fabric of the

    community with the thrill of live windband performances. By day, HWS mem-

    bers are accountants, engineers, teachers

    and executives. They come together to

    connect musically with others, share theenjoyment of music with live audiences,and help mentor the next generation of 

    wind musicians.

    “We will have a group of communitynewspapers with good family friendly con-

    tent,” says Nicastro. “There are other pub-

    lications as in any market we are in but wetry to bring a different perspective with all

    good news.”

    The name, New View Media GroupLLC, came from “The idea that we have a

    new view on media,” says Nicastro.

    All community news, from schools to

    government, people, organizations, places

    of worship, libraries, non-profit organiza-tions, volunteer services, children’s

    groups, scouts, fundraisers and more will

    be featured in the pages of New View

    Media Group. The company’s philosophyis to showcase and inform all readers aboutthe good that surrounds them day to day,

    the positive, and the uniqueness of their

    community.

    The Marketeer, a free shopper-type sup-

    plement delivered monthly to all homes,

    has been around for the past 30 years. Bygrowing these papers, the community will

    have all the positive news at their finger-

    tips.

    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 busi-

    nesses. 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 circulations so for local busi-

    nesses it will be very beneficial,” says

    Nicastro. Despite the digital age, 2015 is a

    great 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 theirkids are in the paper so they can cut it out

    and hang it up- different than printing it off 

    a printer.”

    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, andMaplewood/South Orange News.

    The greatest challenge faced by the newcompany 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.

    depends on paid advertising. Contact JoeNicastro at 800-691-7549 or [email protected].

    60THANNIVERSARY

    by Cheryl Conway 

    Support groups for families, and children, facingissues are growing in the area as fast as the greengrass 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 the

    website.To implement their vision, Dr. Ted Fattoross, Dr. Debra

    Brooks 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 supportgroups 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 for

    these 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; and Judicial, govern-ment, legal and law enforcement - to form an alliance withthe "systems" that are charged with the responsibility tomanage our children and families, to collaborate throughprograms as a means to “foster a deeper sensitivity to theneeds of everyone while always having the best interest of

    the children in mind.”Many issues faced by children, such as

    anti-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 thestreet,” 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 little

    Global Movement Underway...baggage we pass on to them that truly mat-ters,” says Fattoross, 57, father of threekids 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 250,000people 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,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 acounselor 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 toshare is “not limited to my time, myresources, my ability” but will instead relyon “an army of individuals whose support

    groups around the world can support,encourage and inspire, resolve issues andproblems that we face as a global commu-nity.”

    For more information, go to www.fam-ilyalliance.org; or call 609-772-7407. Thefoundation is hiring mentors, leaders,coaches, consultants and counselors to runsupport groups, and is always in need of volunteers.

    Legislation sponsored by

    Assemblyman Dave Wolfe and

    Assemblywoman Alison LittellMcHose to lighten the financial burden

    on the families of New Jersey military

    personnel serving overseas was approved

    recently today by the Appropriations

    committee. The bill, A-1183, authorizes a

    “Support the Troops” specialty licenseplate with the proceeds earmarked for the

    families of NJ military personnel who are

    serving overseas.

    Veterans can apply for grants to help

    with mortgage or rent payments, food andclothing, heating or utility bills, emer-

    gency home repairs, repair or replacement

    of essential home appliances, vehicle

    repair, tuition assistance, and other emer-

    gent needs.“The families of deployed soldiers

    face both emotional and financial hard-

    ship,” said Wolfe, R-Ocean and

    Monmouth. “The monthly expenses still

    need to be satisfied. However, in most

    cases, the family income is reducedbecause the military pay can’t match the

    weekly pay check from employers at

    home.”

    “These license plates give residents an

    easy way of supporting the troops and

    providing some financial relief,” saidMcHose, R – Sussex, Warren and Morris.

    “The special tags create another source of financial assistance to those in need.”

    The proceeds from the license tags will

    support the Operation EnduringFreedom/Operation Iraqi Freedom

    “Yellow Ribbon Grant Program” which is

    administered by the NJ National Guard

    “Support for Returning Combat Veterans

    Program.”The funds will also provide grants for

    families of NJ Army or Air National

    Guard service members who have been

    mobilized for more than 90 days and areexperiencing financial hardship. Initial

    cost of the specialty plates will be $50with a $10 annual renewal fee.

    For over twenty years, implant dentistry has been a reliable option for patients

    with missing teeth. With the ability to support a crown, an implant procedure

    has the capacity to bypass drilling the adjacent teeth. Additionally, with therecent availability of mini implants, implant dentistry has expanded its utiliza-

    tion to anchoring both full and partial dentures for a more secure f it. As they

    provide an economic alternative, patients have been very receptive of mini

    implants, as they make eating and speaking with dentures much easier.

    Dr. Helen Chiu has always been involved in implant dentistry, making it an

    integrated part of her everyday practice. From replacing a single tooth, insert-

    ing crowns or bridges, securing dentures, to creating multiple, full-arch recon-

    structions, she performs every step of each process, surgical and restorative.

    Your comfort and convenience are always Dr. Chiu’s top priorities. To

    learn more about these procedures, please call our of fice at 973-377-0224.

    Ireland last month to makemore shoes, but his timehere was well spent enter-taining young and old dur-ing the St. Patrick’s Dayholiday.

    Who is Silly McGilly?-some may ask. He is a newleprechaun friend createdby three women of NewJersey, one who lives rightin Morris County. MichelleCoffey-Dougherty of Montville, along with hersister Eileen Coffey-Cowley of Sea Girt, andtheir sister-in-law VictoriaClark-Coffey of BaskingRidge are the authors of “Silly McGilly.”

    Their book, SillyMcGilly was written twoyears ago in 2013, but firstsold in stores last year.Dougherty held a book

    reading at the LearningExpress Toys inMorristown last month dur-ing Read Across AmericaWeek.

    With cupid onValentine’s Day, and theEaster Bunny on Easter,why not in between intro-duce a “cute and clever lep-rechaun” parade into St.Patrick’s Day.

    “In an often overlookedfamily holiday, SillyMcGilly is a breath of freshair,” as stated in the book’spress release. “He visitshomes and classrooms toplay fun little tricks onchildren in the month,weeks, days leading up toSt. Patrick’s Day.”

    Michelle says shethought of the idea after

    Christmas time when herseven-year old son wassaying how sad he was thatChristmas was over, ‘what

    do we have to look forwardto?’

    “We have a leprechaunbut he comes one night,”explains Michelle, so whynot create a character tohelp raise awareness of thetradition and create greatfamily memories.

    As Irish Americans, thethree authors wanted “tobreathe some new life intoSt. Patrick’s Day,” espe-cially having 10 childrenbetween them, and their“immense love for familytraditions.”

    Six months to write, thethree sisters met regularlyto complete their book.“We all sat together;cousins would sit and playand we would all work,”sales Michelle, former pre-K through second gradeteacher. With sales, market-ing and teaching in theirbackground, the sisterscombined their skills to

    self-publish a creative chil-dren’s book.

    "Silly McGilly is a laborof love for our entire fami-ly," said Eileen Cowley."We were all brought up toappreciate our Irish cultureand particularly enjoyedthe fun and revelry of St.Patrick's Day. However, wealso recognized that therewas no defining story or

    character that young chil-dren could embrace, bothliterally and figuratively.And so, Silly McGilly wasborn!"

    The book tells the storyof the very lovable SillyMcGilly. Silly is a friendlyleprechaun who enjoys vis-iting homes and classroomsto play funny little tricks onchildren throughout the St.

    Patrick's Day season.For some, Silly can visit

    every day in March, othersonce a week, or the day

    before St. Patrick's Day.In Michelle’s house,

    Silly McGilly visits for 17days in March leading upto St. Patrick’s Day. Sheuses it when March begins.

    “When you read thebook you put the doll bythe window as an indica-tion for the real SillyMcGilly to come into yourhome to do a trick,”explains Michelle. Thenevery day, kids wake up tonew tricks by the green lep-rechaun.

    Examples of tricks,which are also outlined inthe book, include turningtoilet bowl water green, orpictures turned upsidedown.

    “Maybe he's left sometreats behind such aschocolate coins, shamrocksor St. Patrick's Day stick-ers. Or, maybe he's been upto a little mischief, turningover chairs, writing on the

    blackboard, or leaving thekitchen cabinets open.”

    Michelle says, “It’s upto each parent to decidewhat they want to do.”Parents and kids come upcreative ideas each day.Then after St. Patrick’sDay, “he goes back toIreland to making shoesbecause that’s what lep-rechauns do.”

    “We created a familytradition,” says Michelle.“Kids are excited, theylook forward to it. Kidswake up and are excited.It’s a great tradition creat-ing family memories.Children grow up so quick-ly. It’s something to enjoywith the whole family. It’sa great tradition whetheryou are Irish or not.”

    Teachers are using it inclassrooms, pre-kinder-garten through third grade,in all 50 states.

     Michelle Coffey-Dougherty and Victoria Coffey.

    Silly Leprechaun Visits Homes In Popular Children’s Book Last year, Silly McGilly

    was so popular he sold out.This year, sales have dou-bled and orders are stillcoming in. Michelle was

    heading to Ireland to meetwith a gift shop owner tocarry Silly McGilly there.

    A fun new children’shard-cover book, SillyMcGilly is 24 pages longand self-published. Eachbook comes with an eightinch, soft, plush lep-rechaun.

    “Whether you’re Irishor not, wonderful memo-

    ries are waiting for youwith this new St. Patrick'sDay tradition!”

    “It’s a great gift for abirthday, for the holidays,at any time of year,” con-cludes Michelle. “You cangive it during the year; it’sexciting and something to

    look forward to.”Sold for $29.99 on the

    website, the book includesa keepsake box with the

    doll. Go to www.sillym-cgilly.com or LearningExpress in Morristown topurchase a copy.

    omino is very outgoing and friend-

    ly! He is about 16-17 weeks old,

    weighs about 25 pounds and is verycute!

    Domino was rescued from a high kill

    shelter in NC and is now living in a foster

    home in NJ. Domino's foster family says

    that Domino is a big kisser! He even licks

    their dog's ears! Domino loves running andplaying in the snow, playing with balls and

    squeaky toys. Domino will cuddle with his

    foster family and fall asleep on their lap. He

    is definitely a people dog, good with chil-

    dren and ok with cats. Domino sleeps

    through the night without having an accidentand he is doing good with house training.

    Even though Domino is enjoying his foster

    home, Domino is eager to find a family of 

    his own. If you have a furever home for thispet, e-mail [email protected] and request an

    adoption application. To see more photos

    Domino Is Looking For Her Forever Home!

    With home prices on the rise, finish-ing a basement is the latest trendin real estate. More and more

    homeowners are enjoying the perks of addi-tional living space, a reduction in heatingand cooling costs, a healthier home, and, if done right, a more desirable home whenselling.

    A finished basement can be used for vir-tually anything and may offer multipurposespaces the entire family can enjoy. Commonuses include additional storage or a mediaroom, craft room, guest suite, workshop, orgym. A little extra room can give a growingfamily space to breathe and provide conven-ience for everyday life.

    An unfinished basement can be a sourceof energy loss. By finishing your basement,you can expect to see savings on your heat-ing and cooling costs. Industry experts rec-

    ommend finishing the space with the properframing, insulation and vapor barrier toguarantee a cozy and inviting space.Insulation plays a key role in the comfort of your newly remodeled space and althoughits hidden within your walls, insulation willmake sure your space stays cool in the sum-mer and warm in the winter. Retailers sug-gest using a stone wool insulation, such asROXUL. This recommendation is also fireand water repellent and is resistant to mold,mildew, rot and bacterial growth - makingyour space healthy and safe.

    An added benefit to expanding down-stairs with a finished basement is the instantmarketability. Many buyers now demand awell-finished basement to give them extraspace. Although you may not immediatelyrecoup the financial costs prior to selling,you will stand out among the rest.
