Flowers and green grass are not the only things bloom-ing this spring.

MJ Media LLC hasrecently merged with Broad Street Media, owner of the

Marketeer, and formed a new company- New View MediaGroup LLC.

Publishers Joe Nicastro and Mary Lalama of Flanders of the former MJ Media have formed a partnership withMarketeer owner Darwin Oordt of Cherry Hill to establishNew View Media Group. In talks six months prior, the man-aging partners officially merged April 1.

Unlike other newspapers that incorporate both the goodand bad news, New View Media Group will feature only

good news.“We will have a group of community

newspapers with good family friendly con-tent,” says Nicastro. “There are other publi-cations as in any market we are in but we tryto bring a different perspective with allgood news.”

The name, New View Media LLC, camefrom “The idea that we have a new view onmedia,” says Nicastro.

All community news, from schools togovernment, people, organizations, placesof worship, libraries, non-profit organiza-tions, volunteer services, children’s groups,scouts, fundraisers and more will be fea-tured in the pages of New View Media. Thecompany’s philosophy is to showcase andinform all readers about the good that sur-rounds them day to day, the positive, andthe uniqueness of their community.

Established in 2003 with just two month-lies in Mt. Olive and Hackettstown, MJMedia which stands for “My Jersey Media”grew to eight free monthlies over the yearsreaching 84,831 homes and businesses.They include the Mt. Olive News,

Hackettstown News, Roxbury News,Randolph News, Musconetcong News,Black River News, Morristown News andMendham News.

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 willhave all the positive news at their finger-tips.

“Both groups complimented each otherwith their circulations so for local business-es it will be very beneficial,” says Nicastro.Despite the digital age, 2015 is a great timefor community newspapers.

“Free community papers are differentthan paid papers,” explains Nicastro.“People want local news and it is hard tofind. The hyper local sites are good. Thereis something about having a paper to hold,people still call us for copies when theirkids are in the paper so they can cut it outand hang it up- different than printing it off a printer.”

The additional seven papers include theLivingston News, Hanover News, CaldwellNews, Verona/Cedar Grove News,

Community Newspaper Co. Spreads Its Wings...Millburn/Short Hills News, EastHanover/Florham Park News, andMaplewood/South Orange News.

The greatest challenge faced by the newcompany will be “Getting information fromthe community,” says Nicastro.

The community is the best source forinformation. People serve as the eyes andears as to what is going on around them.Please send all press releases and positivenews stories to [email protected].

As a free newspaper, the companydepends on paid advertising. Contact JoeNicastro at 800-691-7549 or [email protected]

Diabetics who have not adequatelyand consistently brought their conditionunder control risk blindness. “Diabeticretinopathy” is a disease involving thetiny blood vessels at the back of the eyethat can become blocked and hemor-rhage. In some cases, new blood vesselsform that are faulty and leaky. That iswhy diabetics need to have regular eyeexams to diagnose retinopathy early,

when it can be treated. During a compre-hensive eye exam, which includes pupildilation, an eye care professional can de-tect diabetic changes. Sometimes, the pa-tient may not even be aware of thecondition, although the disease can bepresent for many years before visible oc-ular signs appear. Early diagnosis canlead to early treatment. One such treat-ment, called “photocoagulation,” utilizesa laser to cauterize abnormal blood ves-

sels that may destroy vision. Laser pho-tocoagulation is usually performed as anoutpatient procedure, using a local or top-ical anesthetic that affects only the eye.Other treatments include injections of medications into the eye to stop the for-mation of new blood vessels.

In advanced stages of diabeticretinopathy – if the retina has detached ora lot of blood has leaked into the eye –

your doctor may suggest a surgical treat-ment called vitrectomy. If you have dia-betes, you should make a n appointmentimmediately to see an eye doctor if youexperience any visual problems or noticeany changes in your vision. To schedulean appointment for an eye exam, pleasecall 973-538-5287. Located at 25 SouthStreet in downtown Morristown, we areavailable weekdays 10 to 6, Thursdays,10 to 7, and Saturdays, 10 to 4.

had grown to several thousand volumes. From 1875 to 1914the library was housed on South Street in the MorristownLibrary and Lyceum, an organization that officially incorpo-rated in 1866."

The library became Morristown's public free library in1906 but was then destroyed by fire in 1914. There was atemporary library set up in the town's YMCA, but then aretired textile merchant, Grinnell Willis, who had madeMorristown his home, offered to fund a new library thatwould be fire safe. In 1917 the new library opened in its cur-rent location. Then in 1965 the residents of both Morristownand Morris Township voted to make it a Joint Free PublicLibrary, shared by both communities, located inMorristown.

It is fitting then, that the library should house the newexhibit celebrating the 275th anniversary of The Township

of Morris. Located in the 2nd floor gallery, the exhibit fea-tures all aspects of the last 275 years of the township's histo-ry. The exhibit opened on April 8 and will remain on displayuntil August 16 of this year.

In the beginning, Morris Township was a mainly agrari-an community, made up mostly of farmland and coverednearly half of Morris County. Over the years, various townshave divided from the township, including Morristown,Chatham, Roxbury, and Mendham. This division wasspurred mostly by the growing urbanization and rising pop-ulation of the area.

Morris Township is currently home to about 22,000 peo-

ple and encompasses an area of more than 15 square miles.It truly has a doughnut like shape to its geography, withMorristown nested inside it like a bird in the nest from whichit hatched.

Highlights from the exhibit are the history of the area's

Fire and Police Departments, as well as "The Seeing Eye"which moved to the area in the 1930's from Tennessee. Thisgroup's mission is to "to enhance the independence, dignityand self-confidence of people who are blind, through the useof specially trained Seeing Eye dogs."

Also detailed at the exhibit, is the history of the area'sGilded Age, where at one time Morris Township was hometo mansions and estates for over 90 millionaires. The area of the great mansions began its decline with the implementa-tion of Federal Income taxes, combined with the drasticeffects of the stock market crash and The Great Depressionthat ensued. According to Cheryl Turkington, the assistantarchivist at the North Jersey History & Genealogy Center,most of the old homes were "raised at some point, but a fewhave survived to have been repurposed." The Center is adivision of the Morristown and Morris County Library,which has a stated goal "to provide a location for...materialsthat will support Historic Preservation research for Morrisarea residents." As a result of the library's great archival col-lection, many more details about Morris Twp. are on displayat the exhibit.

The opening ceremony on April 8 featured a monologueby a historian from the library detailing some of the history

on display, and was the highlight of the evening.The exhibit is not the only commemoration of this his-

toric year for Morris Township. Virginia Murphy, the assis-tant to the township administrator, outlined a few of theupcoming events.

On May 2, the Celebrate Morris Twp. 5K run, which isorganized by Scout Troop 333 member Matthew Norton forhis Eagle Scout project is set. All proceeds from the eventwill go to benefit the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society,which is a non-profit group that works on behalf of victimssuffering from blood cancers "to live longer, better lives." Tofind out more or to register go to www.superheroracing.com/celebrate-morris-twp.html.

Another upcoming event is the Morris Township "Nightat the Ballpark" on June 20 at 7pm featuring the SomersetPatriots versus the Sugar Land Skeeters. Tickets are avail-able at www.somersetpatriots.com.

On the second Saturday in September the Morris Twp.Parks and Recreation Department is organizing a family pic-nic. Details are forthcoming for this and other celebratoryevents. To find out more, sign up for automatic updates andnotifications via email on the Morris Twp. website,http://www.morristwp.com and click on the "Notify Me"link on the home page.

The calendar page has turned to Apriland the promise of spring is here.

After the record breaking winter theregion has endured, the birds are finallysinging and bulb buds are poking throughthe newly uncovered grass.

Springtime means preparing the yardand gardens to enjoy landscaping all sum-mer long. Putting in some prep time nowby preparing the lawn, controlling weedsand cleaning planting beds to get themready to become flower or vegetable gar-dens for another season of blooms and freshproduce will help those enjoy their yard asthe weather warms.

Country Mile Gardens of Morristownhas been a staple in the gardening commu-nity since 1977. Manager, Tom Gallo saysthat now is the perfect time to get plantingbeds ready by cleaning leaves and winterdebris. Gallo says, “Spring is the time tofertilize. Homeowners generally use granu-lar fertilizer or compost for a more organicprocess.”

Mulching is another spring activity.

According to Gallo, “Mulching helps withweed control and is aesthetically pleasing.”

Center says that the best way to a lush lawnafter such a harsh winter is to maintain ahealthy Ph balance. She says, “applyinglime first will maximize the benefits of fer-tilizer once it is applies. Optimal Ph levelsshould be 6.5-7.0.” Mendham GardenCenter offers fee soil testing and can recom-mend repair or maintenance programs for ahomeowner’s yard.

Why not introduce the kids to the won-der of plants? How about having them planta tree or shrub to commemorate an achieve-

ment or create a container full of flowers orvegetables.

Let the little ones choose what they wantto plant, let them be (relatively) in chargethe care of the plants. They will feel invest-ed in the process and learn a lesson inresponsibility and reaping the rewards of hard work. It’s also a great way to get themoutdoors, spend some family time togetherand foster a lifetime of gardening enjoy-

Getting fit can be an expensiveendeavor, especially living in an

apparently affluent communitywhere fitness options are varied but costly.

Carmalee Foster, the program and publicrelations director at Spring StreetCommunity Development Corporation, sawthis problem and wanted to do something toimprove the situation for low income fami-lies. As a certified Zumba instructor she wasworking her paid gigs, supplementing herfamily's income and enjoying her passionfor dance and fitness. She wanted to sharethat same passion with friends and commu-

nity members who she knew couldn't affordclasses and gym memberships. Then she hadan idea.

Her church, Bethel Church, had beenleasing a building from the town which hadan unused warehouse. Could she possiblyuse it as a studio space? She approachedPastor Sidney Williams with her idea. Itwould need some paint and elbow grease aswell some mirrors on the walls. If she wasable to get the supplies together and organ-ize the work crew, could she start offering

Zumba classes to the community?His answer was "Yes" and what began as

a seed of an idea has grown intoC.H.A.N.G.E. in the lives of low incomefamilies in Morristown.

C.H.A.N.G.E. stands for "CreatingHealthy Actions thru Nutrition & GroupExercise" and that really sums up the mis-sion of the non-profit organization thatFoster started and runs. "C.H.A.N.G.E. is

my baby," she said in a recent interview afterretelling the story of how her husband wasslightly dismayed by her decision to quit herpaid jobs teaching group fitness classes sothat she could keep up with her commit-ments to C.H.A.N.G.E. Making a positiveimpact in the lives of others is what Foster isall about and C.H.A.N.G.E. is the fruit of herlove for both-other people and dance.

"I love our organization and my hope isothers will agree! I always tell people theyhave to see it to believe it!" says Foster.

C.H.A.N.G.E. gives back to the commu-

nity in a number of ways. It's primary func-tion as a dance and group fitness studio is itsmain offering. Anyone can attend the week-ly classes at the studio in Morristown. If theattendee is on any public assistance (WIC,housing assistance, food stamps) all theyneed to do is show proof of that, and theycan attend all the classes for free. Others canbuy a $25 pass for a month of unlimitedclasses or pay a drop in fee.

As anyone who has recently wanted toattend a group fitness class can attest, theseare remarkably low rates. One class can bebetween $12-20 a session. In addition to

adult Zumba classes, C.H.A.N.G.E. alsooffers classes for children and seniors.

Another way C.H.A.N.G.E. is givingback is by helping women become certifiedZumba instructors. So far three people havegone through the program. C.H.A.N.G.E.pays for the cost of the teacher training withthe agreement that the participant will giveback by teaching a certain number of class-es in return. After getting certified, the newteacher then shadows Foster for two to fourmonths until they are ready to run a class ontheir own. One of the great things about thispart of the program is that participantsreceive hands on training by an experiencedinstructor as well as experience teaching ontheir own. It can be difficult to get a job asgroup fitness instructor with a teaching cer-

tificate alone, but all those volunteer hoursteaching classes at C.H.A.N.G.E. preparesthe participant to be well qualified to get apaying job elsewhere.

In addition to fitness classes,C.H.A.N.G.E. helps to empower families tomake healthy choices with their diet.Participants can weigh in on the studio'sscale to track their progress. There are peri-odic blood pressure screenings and healthseminars that focus on a different aspect of health and wellness. They had a nutritionist

come in who encouraged the attendees totake part in a 30 day healthy eating chal-lenge. Handouts and flyers available at thestudio encourage members to be mindful of their food choices and portion sizes. Obesityis a real problem with low income families,since poor quality processed foods seem tobe cheaper. Helping people to understandtheir choices, helps them to make better onesfor themselves and their families.

On April 30, Spring Street CDC will behosting its first annual fundraising gala, atthe Wyndham Hamilton Park Hotel inFlorham Park. Foster is also the organizerfor this event.

C.H.A.N.G.E. is just one of the outreachprograms that are under the auspices of Spring Street CDC and the proceeds from

the fundraiser will go to fund all of the pro-grams Spring Street CDC oversees. Thisyear’s theme is "Denim and Diamonds" andpromises to be a truly gala event.

Tickets are $200 each with all of the pro-ceeds going directly to fund Spring Street'sprograms. To find out more about thisupcoming event or the program availablethrough Spring Street

Dental implantshave become thebest option forpatients with missing or fail-

ing teeth who want toimprove their chewing abili-ty and smile,” says Dr.Victor Gittleman of Morristown CosmeticDentistry, who has beenplacing dental implants formore than three decades.“It’s quite gratifying whenwe can place dental implantsand help a patient who hasstruggled to eat the foodthey love or need for years –or sometimes evendecades.”

Even though your teethwere designed to last a life-time, but there are timesthey do not. Replacing miss-ing teeth is important toyour general health and tothe health of your otherteeth, adds Dr. Gittleman.Not only do you lose chew-ing ability when a tooth islost, but teeth that are notreplaced can cause other

teeth to be lost, tipped,crowded or produce ensuingproblems.

Of course, there are thenoticeable problems of poorappearance and loss of self-esteem caused by missingteeth. Dental implantsshould always be consideredas an option to replace a fail-ing or missing tooth.Replacement of lost teethwith dental implants hasbeen used for treating miss-ing teeth for more than 50years. Dental implants neverslip, make embarrassingnoises, or decay. They areaccepted as an effectivetreatment choice.

Implant patients come inall ages. Implants may bethe correct choice for any-one missing one or moreteeth due to injury, diseaseor decay. They are especial-ly practical for patients whocan no longer wear remov-able dentures.

It is important for apatient to have enough bone

to support the implant. If you do not have enoughbone, there are many safeand effective ways to correctbone deficiency. We canassess this and advise you if additional bone material isneeded.

Treatment time can varygreatly depending on yourneeds. Each situation needsa separate evaluation. Wewill be glad to give you anapproximate timetable.

Farmers markets provide visitors witha window to see into the world of thepeople and places that grow our farmfoods, baked goods, artisans’ cheeses, localhoney and hand crafted products.

Once considered more of a novelty,farmers markets today provide consumerswith an alternative to traditional grocerymarkets, specialty food stores and uniquegift shops. Visitors to local farmers marketscan purchase locally grown and made itemsall with the convenience of one stop shop-ping.

Different farmers, bakers, craftsmen andunique shop owners come together in anoutdoor market that showcases everythinglocal and homemade, handmade and local-ly grown.

Farmers markets expose consumers todifferent seasonal foods and products.They offer more than typical supermarketor gift shop products and often includeherbs, plants, cut flowers, eggs, homemadespecialty items such as jam and jelly, bakeditems and local honey. Farmers marketsgenerally open in the spring and stayopened until the holidays. Each season

brings new offerings.When farmers markets open in the

spring, they provide consumers with fresh,locally grown produce, homemade bakedgoods, prepared meals, soups and handcrafted items that many have anticipated allwinter. Their garden offerings are plentifulproviding consumers with an exceptionalselection of annuals and perennials to plant.Spring offerings turn to summer offeringsdelivering a wide variety of flavorful, col-orful sweet fruits and ample vegetables.

Summer farmers markets are a greatway to spend a weekend afternoon or lazyevening after a day at work. Summer iswhen produce such as tomatoes, sweet cornand cucumbers are grown and enjoyed inabundance. As the summer ends, fall is abeautiful time of year. The

air is crisp and local farm stands arebrimming with autumn goodies frompumpkins to root vegetables, cider, hayrides and corn mazes. Hearty preparedmeals, holiday pies, hand knit sweaters andseasonal wreaths are alongside mums, cornstalks and hay barrels used to decorate ourhomes.

As the winter approaches, don’t dis-

Taste Buds Bloom With Variety Offered At Farmers Marketscount the selection at your local outdoormarkets. Beets, broccoli, brussel sprouts,cabbage and cauliflower are grown most of the year, even through November andDecember. It’s a great time to stock up onhomemade jams, jellies and local honey.Think gift giving for the holidays. Mostfarmers markets stay open until Decemberand will additionally offer fresh cut green-ery and Christmas trees.

Most fruits and vegetables travel 1500-2500 miles to land in the grocery store. If each consumer ate just one meal a weekusing local products, we would save 1.1million barrels of oil each year. Visits tolocal farmers markets are increasing for avariety of reasons- it’s healthier, it’s impor-tant to support local growers and it’s betterfor our environment. Stop by and exploreyour local outdoor market today, you maybe surprised what you find and what youlearn.

D ental implants are one of the most amazing tech-nologies of the 21st century that provide peoplewith a new lease on life. Whether a person ismissing one tooth, multiple teeth, live in constant pain

with infected teeth, or have dentures that move, hurt, orare just annoying, consideration should be given to whatthese little innovations can do to turn your life around!

Dental implants are cylinders, traditionally madefrom titanium, that are placed into the jawbone. Teethare built on top of them, and there are many configura-tions. The most typical are 1. A single tooth, 2. Multiplepermanent teeth (a bridge), 3. Stabilize dentures (whichare removable), and 4. “Fixed-detachable,” which is dis-cussed below.

“Fixed-detachable” implant teeth are extremely pop-ular today. The “fixed” refers to the fact you don’t take

them in-and-out of your mouth, and the “detachable”refers to the ability of your dentist being able to removethem for maintenance & repairs. They have becomeoverwhelmingly popular for many reasons: 1. Theyhave significantly brought down the cost of traditionalimplant procedures, 2. The need for major bone graftingprocedures has been reduced or eliminated, 3. The over-all procedure time has been decreased, 4. They allowpatients to eliminate the endless cycle of cavities, fill-ings, root canals, crowns, and bridges.

The “fixed-detachable” class includes many brandnames you may have heard of: Teeth-In-A-Day®, All-On-Four®, Hybridge®, Prettau Zirconia Bridges, TeethToday®, Teeth Tomorrow®, RevitaliZe®, and the list

goes on and on. Regardless of the name, they all fallinto the same class of dental appliance: Fixed-Detachable.

Whether you would benefit from a single implant,multiple implants, denture stabilization, or a fixed-detachable appliance, the dentist or team of dentists youwork with is critical to your success and satisfaction.Because dental implants are not a specialty, any dentist,regardless of their training, can perform these proce-dures. As a consumer, it is very important you do yourdue diligence when selecting an implant dentist.

Dr. Ira Goldberg is a recognized dental implant

expert, and has been performing implant procedures for20 years. He is uniquely qualified in a number of ways:1) He performs both the surgical aspect and restorativeaspect of dental implants himself: referrals to other den-tists are rarely required. 2) He holds many degrees inthe field of implant dentistry, with the most prestigiousbeing a Diplomate of the American Board of OralImplantology, a title held by less than 500 dentistsworldwide. 3) He lectures to other dentists in the fieldof computerized surgical procedures, and performs

A new trend in gardening is planting edi-ble gardens using different herbs that gar-deners will use in everyday cooking. Tryplanting them in a window box or hangingbasket. Gallo says regular and new cus-tomers are coming in looking for new vari-eties of vegetables. “New varieties of veg-etables emerge every year and people love totry experimenting with them in their owngardens,” he adds. Franklin says that atMendham Garden Center they are getting a

lot of inquires about planting organic gar-dens. “People like to plant everything from aboxed garden off a patio to a full sizedorganic garden.”

Spring is also a good opportunity to addadditional landscape or hardscaping featuresto the yard such as a new patio, trees orshrubbery, fence or sprinkler system. A moresimple spring idea may be to plant windowboxes by combining flowering plants withattractive foliage to add a quick pop of colorto decks, window sashes and porch rails.

For over twenty years, implant dentistry has been a reliable option for patientswith missing 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 theyprovide an economic alternative, patients have been very receptive of miniimplants, as they make eating and speaking with dentures much easier.

As early as 1887,Thomas Edison hasbecome a name in

the home entertainmentindustry. His company man-ufactured phonographs(needle/stylus music player)and its music medium (ana-log recordings on a waxcylinders and Blue Amberolhis patented plastic materi-al). He not only had a say inthe production and technol-ogy of this emerging indus-

try but, he also had controlof the artists that recordedon his label. Thomas Edisonwas not only a wizard of invention; he also became amusic recording mogul withhis own namesake recordlabel and recording studio.Recording artists made thetrek to West Orange NJ orManhattan to have their

voice and instrumentalsrecorded and played on hishome and parlor music play-ers – the phonograph.Thomas Edison was theoriginal American idol

judge on musical talent andhe determined if an artistwas worthy of a record labelcontract. The current popu-larity of the performer’smusic did not sway Edison’sbiased judgment. InEdison’s words to promotean artist based on celebrity

constituted "fakery inmusic".It was unfortunate for his

record label that Edison (adeaf and musicallyuntrained person) made thefinal judgments on record-ing artists. This would be anegative company businesspolicy and one of the rea-sons Edison started to lose

market share in the early1900’s to his rival the VictorTalking Machine Company.However, in 1910 Edisonmade an exception inaccepting music he person-ally disliked such as theblues or jazz that SophieTucker (January 13, 1886 --February 9, 1966) hadbecome known for. Tuckerwas a young, spicy vaude-ville entertainer and femalewhite jazz singer. Duringthis period the Edison

Recording Company wasconducting a marketingcampaign to attract newartists by paying a thousanddollars for ten records tosingers who already had apopular following. Tuckerwas already a successfulstage performer but she sawboth money and greaterfame if she also became a

voice that was heard onphonograph records. Aftervisiting the West Orangerecording studio, she madeher first demo recording of "The Lovin' Rag". The stu-dio was happy with her firstrecording and asked her torecord another cylinderrecord and so she sang "ThatLovin' Two-Step Man”.Sophie Tucker was a savvybusiness woman and knewthose two records had tosell. She did the equivalent

of a 1910 Twitter blast andsent off post cards to every-one she knew in her addressbook, all over the country,telling them about herrecords and urging them tobuy them. Her address bookin 1910 was a network of over 2,000 names. InTucker’s own words “I felt Imust prove my worth to the

Recording Company.

Legislation sponsored byAssemblyman Dave Wolfe andAssemblywoman Alison Littell

McHose to lighten the financial burdenon the families of New Jersey militarypersonnel serving overseas was approvedrecently today by the Appropriationscommittee. The bill, A-1183, authorizes a“Support the Troops” specialty licenseplate with the proceeds earmarked for thefamilies of NJ military personnel who areserving overseas.

Veterans can apply for grants to helpwith mortgage or rent payments, food and

clothing, heating or utility bills, emer-gency home repairs, repair or replacementof essential home appliances, vehiclerepair, tuition assistance, and other emer-gent needs.

“The families of deployed soldiersface both emotional and financial hard-ship,” said Wolfe, R-Ocean andMonmouth. “The monthly expenses stillneed to be satisfied. However, in most

cases, the family income is reducedbecause the military pay can’t match theweekly pay check from employers athome.”

“These license plates give residents aneasy way of supporting the troops andproviding 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 willsupport the Operation EnduringFreedom/Operation Iraqi Freedom“Yellow Ribbon Grant Program” which is

administered by the NJ National Guard“Support for Returning Combat VeteransProgram.”

The funds will also provide grants forfamilies of NJ Army or Air NationalGuard service members who have beenmobilized for more than 90 days and areexperiencing financial hardship. Initialcost of the specialty plates will be $50with a $10 annual renewal fee.
