New Superintendent = New Hopatcong!

nnually, Hopatcong schools host an open house for students and parents prior to the first day of school. This is a time to calm students nerves about the new school year, their teacher, the school, etc. To make students and parents feel extra welcomed the superintendent and board of education hosted an ice cream social for everyone. Not only was the event a huge success but it was a time for the superintendent, Cynthia Randina, to meet and greet the school community for the first time. Mrs. Randinas expertise, approachability, and passion are the underlying forces to improve the district. She has ignited a strategic overhaul in the districts vision, instruction, and curriculum initiatives. Mrs. Randina is strategically putting Hopatcong Schools back in the game. It was a bright, warm, and vibrant filled morning on September 3, 2013 when the staff began the first day of the start of the 2013-14 school year for Hopatcong Borough Schools. Teachers, counselors, and administrators, all gathered together as one district; one family; with one commitment to their profession and to the students of Hopatcong Schools. The superintendent, Cynthia Randina, welcomed everyone back from a rejuvenating summer and presented a motivational welcome back speech. She provided an overview of the districts vision, instructional plan, and curriculum initiatives, in conjunction with an inspirational

speech which depicted her outlook and plans for the upcoming school year. Mrs. Randina stated that she is certain the staff can be the change they want to see in the world, but more importantly, in Hopatcong Schools. She advised staff to stay positive and spread that positivity in each aspect of their being. Hopatcong Schools have much to be proud of and changing perception is the first step. The superintendent is committed

to supporting teachers, students, and parents in providing the tools they need to progress student learning. Her message is clear: educators have a tough job, but together we can achieve our goals because we believe Hopatcong Schools offers a world class education. The goal is to have everyone believe it and then make it happen. What you put out in the world is what you receive, so Hopatcong is on the brink of reaching their highest potential.

The Most Painful Medicare Cut

The trouble is, lower reimbursement rates will be simply unsustainable for doctors, and patients will suffer the consequences. The latest squeeze comes at a time when community-based cancer centers are already under strain. Eighty percent of cancer patients are treated in the community setting, but during the past four and a half years, nearly 250 oncology clinics have closed nationwide and another 400 report facing financial difficulties. More cuts will inevitably lead to more closures. If doctors stop offering certain types of drugs or close up shop altogether, patients will be left in a bind. Some may have to travel further to get treatment, racking up transport and lodging charges. Others may have to seek care in a hospital setting, which may be a more costly alternative for patients and taxpayers alike. A 2011 study from the consulting group Milliman found that Medicare cancer patients who receive chemotherapy at hospitals saw expenses 14 percent higher than did those chemotherapy patients who got treatment at doctors' offices. Our leaders must resist lowering the Part B drug reimbursement rate. Fortunately, two New Jersey representatives -- Republican Leonard Lance and Democrat Bill Pascrell -- are already doing just that. Their joint effort proves this is not a partisan issue, but one that affects our friends and neighbors. Approximately 50,000 New Jersey residents receive a cancer diagnosis each year. They need high-quality, accessible, affordable care. Others should join Representatives Lance and Pascrell's stance to protect the healthcare they deserve. For the last decade, Part B has worked well. Any more cuts to doctor reimbursement rates will hurt patients in the name of savings that may never be realized. For the safety of patients, our lawmakers and leaders should fight to keep Medicare Part B off the budget chopping block. Lori A. Heberley, MA, LPC, CMC is the Geriatric Care Manager at South Jersey Geriatric Care, P.C.

By Lori Heberley n an effort to rein in Medicare spending, several Washington lawmakers are considering some harmful cost-cutting plans. Of significant concern is the proposal to trim Medicare Part B's spending by slashing physician reimbursement rates for Part B drugs. This could cause patients to lose access to much-needed care. Part B covers drug treatments for serious illnesses that must be administered in doctors offices. Under the Part B system, physicians purchase the required medicines and then are reimbursed by Medicare according to a standard "average sales price" (ASP), plus an additional fee to cover the shipping, storage, and administrative expenses associated with the medicines. That add-on is set at 6 percent. But under the federal budget cuts known as sequestration, which kicked in on April 1, doctors saw ASP +6 percent payment effectively reduced to ASP +4 percent due to an across the board 2 percent payment cut. And that may not be the end of the cuts. Lawmakers previously have discussed cutting the Part B drug add-on to a mere 3 percent -- and amid continuing fiscal debates, Congress may consider this additional reduction again later this year.

Local Dentist, Dr. Ira Goldberg, One of 414 in the World Awarded Diplomate Status
implant care. Dr. Goldberg, founder of Morris County Dental Associates, LLC in Succasunna, has been placing and restoring implants for over 16 years. He holds various degrees in implant associations, but this latest award is a true sign of his skill and knowledge in the field of implant dentistry. To earn the title of Diplomate, Dr. Goldberg faced a comprehensive written and oral examination, including presenting cases for review by an expert panel of implant dentists. During the oral portion, Dr. Goldberg had to defend his treatment of complex cases covering topics such as alternate options, decision making, complications and maintenance. The written exam consisted of 400 questions, answered over an 8 hour period. The examination process measured the in-depth knowledge, proficient skills and abilities required for practitioners to provide comprehensive, safe and effective oral implant care for the public. This was by far the most difficult exam Ive ever participated in, but I understand why it is so extensive, says Dr. Goldberg. Implant dentistry is not a recognized specialty, which means any dentist can place and restore implants, regardless of their training. ABOI wants to ensure candidates that pass this comprehensive exam, are truly experts in implant dentistry and can present appropriate solutions based on a patients needs and well-being. In addition, they want to ensure we complete continued education, are versed in the latest technologies and can excel in implant complications and maintenance. Dr. Goldberg routinely performs all three disciplines of implant dentistry: bone regeneration (grafting), implant placement and implant restoration, all in his office. Some uses of implants include: single tooth replacement, multiple teeth replacement, denture stabilization, denture replacement, and failing teeth solutions. This last category has become an extremely viable option for people who suffer from an endless cycle of tooth pain, failing root canals, constant tooth fracture, and cavities, explains Dr. Goldberg. The ABOI/ID was founded in 1969 and conducts examinations to determine the qualifications and competence of dentists who voluntarily apply to the Board for certification. The Board is sponsored by the American Academy of Implant Dentistry. Dr. Goldberg holds a private practice in Succasunna in the Roxbury Mall and offers free consultations to patients. www.MorrisCountyDentist.com

n May 13, 2013, after successfully completing a rigorous two-day examination in Chicago, Dr. Ira Goldberg, DDS, FAGD, MICOI, joined only 411 dentists in the world as a Diplomate of the American Board of Oral Implantology / Implant Dentistry, becoming one of the nations leading experts in

European Wax Center Opens New Succasunna Location

rooming Industry leader European Wax Center, which provides luxury services at an affordable price has opened its 30th location in the State of New Jersey. The new wax center is located at 275 Rt 10E in the Roxbury Mall, next to Panera Bread and will bring its quality services to residents and local businesses in the northwest New Jersey. European Wax Center delivers the most effective and painless wax experience possible. Their unique COMFORT WAX, a hard wax made from 100% natural beeswax, was designed to optimize the guest's comfort and has revolutionized the grooming experience. Additionally, European Wax Centers wax specialists perform each wax using their exclusive 4 Steps to Gorgeous skincare process, which is packed with antioxidants and vitamins. These specially designed products are not only great for your skin, but they make waxing less painful and last longer. European Wax Center prides itself on providing an efficient, sanitary, luxurious waxing experience. Jessica Coba, co-founder of European Wax Center, explains, Modern waxing is about feeling confident, sexy, and pampered. However, this practice is often believed to be for the 'privileged' leaving consumers with two unappealing options: the cheap, corner nail salon with questionable sanitary practices or the elegant, but over priced spa. We needed to rally women and men around a new option thats for everyone: European Wax Center is that option. We are thrilled to be expanding the European Wax Center experience throughout New Jersey says Judy Cook, Franchisee partner of European Wax Centers Roxbury

Mall location. We believe that high quality waxing should be accessible to everyone and can be incorporated into everyone's regular routine and skincare regime. With the great success of Denville, European Wax Center, Judy Cook of Mountain Lakes was offered this dynamic location on Route 10 East to develop yet another center. She partnered with her long time friends, Frank and Diane Lupo of Randolph. It took two years to complete and

open. Upon opening in the end of July, they see this center being another top center in the nation. Today, European Wax Center is recognized as the leader in comfortable and hygienic waxing. With the addition of the Roxbury Mall location, luxurious waxing can be incorporated into the regular routine and skincare regime. European Wax Center enables everyone to feel pampered, continued on next page

ccording to AutoGuide.com, the Toyota Corolla is the number one selling vehicle of all time. Since production on the Corolla began in 1966, the Japanese automaker's beloved sedan has sold more than 37.5 million units. While its relatively low price tag and reputation for fuel efficiency likely played a role in propelling the Corolla to its status as the most popular automobile of all time, the vehicle that is second fiddle to the Corolla might come as a surprise. With roughly 35 million units sold since its introduction in 1948, the Ford F-

Series truck line is the second best selling vehicle of all time. The popularity of the FSeries line of pickup trucks is perhaps a byproduct of its various incarnations, such as the smaller F-150 and the much larger and more powerful F-450. Rounding out the top five are the Volkswagon Golf, which has sold 27.5 million units since it was first introduced as the Rabbit in 1974; its older sibling, the Volkswagon Beetle, which has sold 23.5million units since its introduction 80 years ago; and the Ford Escort, which has sold 20 million units despite being discontinued in 2000.

Exes Pair Up for This Fall's Amazing Race

CBS. With an event that is already full of stress and tension, where competitors are often pushed to their limits and forced to face less-than-ideal situations, the pairing of Sweeny and Mazzochi may seem odd to the majority of viewers. The team members agree that their situation is not optimal. One issue that they must face during their time on the show is an apparent lack of communication. Mazzochi notes that neither she nor Sweeny listens to one another, yet both insist that they are right. She observes, We both just yell at the same time, and adds that this behavior often leads to unresolved issues. Sweeny then offers his opinion on his partner, stating that she frequently loses perspective and tends to forget the bigger picture. Complicating the matter, he continues, is the fact that she becomes obsessed with being right, rather than solving the problem. A pre-competition Q & A session on the CBS website provides more insight into the teams character and their differences. When asked to name a famous person who reminds him of his teammate, Sweeny picks a blend between Jillian Michaels and Paris Hilton, since she is aggressive, a socialite, likes Chihuahuas, Starbucks, and is manipulative. The same question was asked of Mazzochi, who notes that her teammate is similar to Ryan Lochte because hes in love with himself. Both teammates agree that their ultimate goal is to win the competition, with Sweeny stating that he would like to learn how to effectively work together throughout the process. The teammates have decided that one of the biggest challenges for them during the competition will be the issue of listening to one another. Throughout the Q & A session, Sweeny and Mazzochi shared more about their personal lives. Sweeny is excited to travel because it makes you smarter, more cultured and allows for an opportunity to experience a different culture. Mazzochi responds to the same question by saying that she is excited to see different cultures and places, and that she has never before traveled outside of the U.S. Several other teams join Mazzochi and Sweeny for this season of the Amazing Race. Some of the fellow competitors include former NFL teammates, a pair of baseball wives, married ER doctors, and best friends.

By Kate Halse any pairs are featured on the Amazing Race, a reality TV show where two people with a form of personal relationship take part in a competition that travels around the world. Typical pairs include parent/child teams, best friends, coworkers, and family members. This fall, a team of exes from Morristown will add a bit of drama and uncertainty to the mix. The team consists of 32year-old sports marketer Timothy Sweeny and 29year-old fitness trainer Marie Mazzochi. Together, the ex-couple will be one of 11 teams who are competing in an adventure around the globe for $1 million dollars. The newest seasons of the Amazing Race will premiere on Sunday, September 29, at 8 pm on

During this season, the teams will travel throughout four continents and nine countries, covering more than 35,000 miles of ground in the process.

loha Mind Math presents parents with 5 essential education and life principles to help children excel as they prepare to go back to school. Teach Your Child to Reach for the Stars Have them write down their hopes and visions each year. Throughout life we have the tendency to let go of our lofty goals because of fear. Lead them to talk openly about their hopes and dreams. Be supportive. Encourage your child to not give up, especially during challenging times and, especially when obstacles get in the way. Support your children to dream big. Parents can create a book of their vision. Ask them to draw what they want to be, write a brief paragraph explaining what they would do, and what it would mean to them to achieve their dream. By them putting their ambitions on paper helps the child visualize their aspiration. Allow and Teach Your

5 Essential Education and Life Principles to Help Your Children Excel in School by Aloha Mind Math
Child to be Inquisitive Inventors like Ben Franklin and Steve Jobs were innately curious about why and how things worked. Provide your kids opportunities to think outside the box. Take them to a Science and Industry Museum or a Childrens Discovery Museum. Provide options where active learning can take place up close in different environments. Teach Your Child the Importance of Education Obtaining a college education and buying a house are some of the American dreams. Attending college may seem like a lifetime away to children or an unachievable dream, but once achieved no one can take away your diploma or degree. Children need to be selfassured in who they are to ask probing questions. In order for a child to be inquisitive it is also important he or she feels comfortable asking and answering questions either in class, after class, after school, and at home. Teach Your Child to Accept Mistakes and Learn from Them They are starting a new school year which means new teachers, friends, and new concepts. They may meet many challenges in the school year. Teach your child to allow themselves to accept, but learn from their mistakes. The next step is to instruct them on how to solve their own problems. Teach Your Child to Realize They Can Do Anything They Put Their Mind to Do The mind is miraculous. Parents usually see the capabilities and talents of their children long before they do. This is likely why some children may by surprised of their own successes when others knew they had the ability all along. Give them nudges of encouragement. Provide constructive feedback. Most of all consistently tell your children they can be

whatever they want to be and achieve whatever they want. How did Howard Schultz, founder of Starbucks, who grew up in the projects in Brooklyn achieve success and build a household name? In his own words, "I wasn't afraid to create a company that no one initially believed in Dream more than others think practical. Expect more than others think possible. Care more than others think wise." About ALOHA Mind Math The unique academic enrichment programs at ALOHA Mind Math Centers help children 5 years-old

through 12 years-old be the best they can be to get ahead in all academic areas. This interactive learning method promotes the development and engagement on both sides of the brain, designed for frustrated learners or high-achieving gifted students. Through instructorled, small group tutoring sessions, children improve their focus, develop vital learning skills, as well as study and life skills, and advance their self confidence to excel in reading, math, language arts, and science, to ultimately persevere in the face of adversity to go after their

dreams. Discover the genius in your child. ALOHA Mind Math was founded in 1993 and introduced in the United States in 2006. ALOHA Mind Math continues to experience growth beyond their current presence in 18 states, 23 countries, and 4,200 locations worldwide.

Homeschool families can explore the built environment using 19th century Macculloch Hall and Morristown's original Historic District as the focus. In this three-part series, students will discover why buildings look the way they do and ask, "Can a building be a work of art?" With our architectural "tool kits", students learn how to identify basic building elements: material, form, color, and ornament, and how the past influences the present. Each session includes mini-building team exercises which lead to a larger, final building challenge. Students will see firsthand how math+science+art=architecture and how this is reflected in the world we have built. The programs meets for the first time on September 24th for "First Impressions: Studying Architectural Styles," then on October 22nd for "Stepping Through History: A Walking Tour," and on November 26th for "Time To Build: The Sky is the Limit." Each program is offered as a morning session from 10 a.m. to noon, or an afternoon session from 1 to 3 p.m. Pre-registration is required.

Crafting An Effective Cover Letter

address your cover letter to that person rather than beginning the letter with, "Dear Sir or Madam" or "To Whom It May Concern." Personalize each cover letter you write so the hiring manager does not get the feeling that you are sending out cover letters en masse. Make sure names are spelled correctly and job titles are accurate. * State your purpose early on. The purpose of your letter, which is to state the job you're seeking, should be made clear early on. Hiring managers often handle the vetting process for a host of positions at their companies, so the earlier the hiring manager knows which position you're applying for the better. Hiring managers may become frustrated when applicants don't make their intentions clear or do so in the final paragraph instead of the first. * Explain why you are a qualified candidate. While it's good to note your work history, your resume will do the bulk of that legwork. A cover letter is your opportunity to show how your work history makes you a qualified candidate for a specific position. Remember to be concise but relate a specific example that illustrates how your work history would help you thrive in the position for which you're applying. * Exhibit some knowledge about the company to which you're applying. An effective cover letter should help you stand out among your fellow applicants, and expressing some knowledge about the organization can do just that. The goal here is to illustrate how you and the organization are a good fit, so you don't need to go overboard or be too specific. But hiring managers are likely to be more impressed by applicants who do their homework and show a knowledge of the company than applicants who submit a form cover letter where the company is scarcely mentioned. * Be cordial in your closing. A cover letter should close with a cordial request for an interview or a friendly way of indicating you look forward to a company's response to your application. In addition, thank the reader for his or her time and mention you would be delighted to answer any questions he or she may have. An effective cover letter can go a long way toward making a strong first impression on a prospective employer. Men and women should look at their cover letters as their first opportunities to connect with a company and write their letters accordingly.

strong cover letter may not guarantee you land a good job, but a poor cover letter may guarantee you won't. On its own, an effective cover letter can catch the eye of hiring managers tasked with finding worthy candidates among stacks of applications, while a poor cover letter may ensure hiring managers never even glance at an applicant's resume. An effective cover letter should be concise, conveying an applicant's work history and goals in a few paragraphs or less. The following are some additional ways men and women can craft effective cover letters. * Address a specific person when possible. When responding to a job posting that listed a specific contact,

Thomas Edison Claimed Deafness Was A Learning Asset In Childhood And Throughout His Life
his railroad station access to the only headline news medium the newspapers. It was these stations that had the pulse on transmitting the news. Newspaper companies printed the news provided by the telegraph communications stations that transmitted battle report messages from telegraph wires across the railroad lines. Here Edison states ..I had a chance to learn that money can be made out of little careful thought and, being poor, I already knew that money is a valuable thing. Boys who dont know that are under a disadvantage greater than deafness. ..I was already very deaf. In my isolation (insulation would be a better term) I had time to think things out. I decided that if I could send ahead to outlaying stations a hint of the big war news which I, there in Detroit, had learned was coming, I could do better than normal business when I reached them. Young Edison convinced the Detroit Free Press to supply him the justoff- the -press newspapers on a promise he would sell them all. Then, Edison had station agents who were also the telegraphers give advance notice to the passengers that a big headline news story was in the newspaper when they arrived at their next station. Edison claimed When I got to the first station on the run I found the device had worked beyond my expectations. The platform literally was crowded with men and women anxious to buy newspapers. Thomas Edison gave further praise of his deafness to Edward Marshall I have no doubt that my nerves are stronger and better today than they would have been if I had heard all the foolish conversation and other meaningless sounds that normal people hear. The things that I have needed to hear I have heard. ..Most nerve strain of our modern life, I fancy, comes to us through our ears. Edison claimed it was his deafness that helped make improvements to the sound quality of Bells telephone and helped him to improve on his own phonograph inventions. He claims his deafness made him acutely aware of the noise in sound. He depended on the purity of sound to hear it. His deafness helped isolate the noise and he set off to banish the clatter he found - both the audible and proverbial kind. In Edison words People with good hearing have become so accustomed to the uproar of civilization that the uproar has become neces-

by Michele Guttenberger hen we think of Thomas Edison, we never think of him as an inventor challenged with physical disabilities. Edison was deaf most of this life. Edisons hearing loss was a culmination of contracting childhood scarlet fever and further hearing loss at the age of 12 years from a head trauma incident. Edison spent his entire adult life with almost total hearing loss. Thomas Edison gave a very personal interview about his deafness to journalist Edward Marshall for Hearsts International COSMOPOLITAN in April of 1925. He stated my deafness has not been a handicap but a help to me. Edison claimed his deafness aided his learning in his youth I read Burtons Anatomy of Melancholy - pretty heavy reading for a youngster. It might have been, if I hadnt been taught by my deafness that almost any book will supply entertainment or instruction. Thomas Edison spent his youth getting the typed Headline News before the rest of the country. He was the newspaper boy for the passengers of the Grand Trunk railroad during the Civil War. He learned to parlay
