    By Cheryl Conway 

    Students often get rewarded for reading extra minutes

    or practicing multiplication, but children at the

    Hilltop Elementary School in Mendham are taking a

    step in a fresh direction.

    New this year, Take Your Parent For A Walk, is a new

    program that is rewarding students for taking a 10 to 15

    minute walk with a parent or family member. For each

    walk taken, the student fills out a ticket to be placed in a

    weekly drawing for recognition.

    Introduced by the school’s physical education teacher,

    the program promotes health and encourages quality time

    between family members.

    “I wanted to get kids to go home and let their parents

    know that walking is good for us to do,” says Nancy

    Morales of Mendham, physical education teacher for the

    past 30 years. The program teaches children how stay fit,

    not only for themselves, but teaches their parents that

    exercise is important too.

    Morales approached the school principal at the begin-

    ning of the school year with her idea.

    “She’s always looking for ways to motivate the kids

    and physical activities,” says Hilltop Elementary School

    Principal David Heller.

    Trying to find creative ideas that involved kids and

    families, Morales learned about the walking with a parent

    program while checking out a website about physical fit-ness for kids.

    The program will be held all year and all 280 students

    in grades pre-kindergarten through fourth are invited to

    participate. They are encouraged to go on as many walks Matthew Pini and Emma Nicholson, winners earlier this month

    of "Take Your Parent on a Walk" program, along with physical

    education teacher, Nancy Morales.

    el, she arrived in Northampton, Mass., and

    he Mendham Volleyball team is very thankful for

    the recent generosity of the Minutemen Sports

    Club. This year the volleyball team was able topurchase a double net system, white boards and jump

    ropes with a special grant provided by the Minutemen

    Sports Club which helps teams to purchase equipment

    that is not included in the athletic budget.

    Joe Abramski, president of the Volleyball Boosters

    noted “while our fundraising has been successful the

    monetary assistance from the Minutemen Sports Club

    has been key in improving our athletic experience.”

    The volleyball program started in 2002 with two

    teams and quickly expanded to three teams with only

    two gyms available for practice. For years Coach BobAcker and the freshman team were required to wait after

    school until 5:15 p.m. or return to the school for a two

    hour practice which started after the JV and varsity

    practice ended. With the new double net system this is

    the first year all three teams have been able to practice

    at the same time making the volleyball organization

    more cohesive.

    The white boards purchased this year were a require-

    ment of the Gold Medal Squared Volleyball organiza-

    tion which is hired every summer to run the volleyball

    camp. The elite coaches use the white boards to review

    drills and plays which the girls use throughout the sea-

    son. This is a rigorous program and the coaches expect

    the girls to be in top condition, so newly purchased

     jump ropes have been an excellent plyometric tool to

    increase vertical height at the net for blocking and spik-

    ing.

    While the Minutemen Sports Club gives trophies,

    plaques and scholarships to senior athletes every yearthe items purchased with the special grant are required

    to remain at the school. The new equipment will benefit

    the volleyball organization for years to come. As of 

    today the varsity team has been ranked number three in

    Morris County and it is clear to see the equipment has

    made an immediate impact!

    Quitting smoking and losing weightconsistently top New Year’s resolu-

    tions lists. In an effort to stop smok-ing, a growing number of smokers are turn-ing to electronic cigarettes, or e-cigarettes,to help them quit once and for all. Althoughe-cigarettes are not currently regulated, theU.S. Food and Drug Administration isweighing regulations in a market that esti-mates suggest could be as big $5 billion in2015. But are these devices safe? Or eveneffective?

    There is mixed information regarding

    the efficacy of e-cigarettesto help a person quit smok-ing. Some studies point to e-cigarettes as a good methodof smoking cessation, whileothers say there’s limitedevidence to support thoseclaims.

    E-cigarettes typicallycontain liquid nicotine,which is inhaled as vapor.

    The vapor resembles smoke and can mimicthe look and feel of smoking traditional

    cigarettes. But e-cigarettes typically do notcontain any of the additional chemicals,such as tar and other potentially toxicingredients, found in traditional cigarettes.Nicotine cartridges for e-cigarettes alsocome in various concentrations and flavors,and smokers can even purchase nicotine-free replacement cartridges. Much likeusers of nicotine patches or chewers of nicotine gum, e-cigarette smokers can grad-ually lower their nicotine doses over time.

    The American Lung Association cur-rently has not approved any e-cigarette as asafe or effective method to help smokersquit. They cite a study that estimates thereare nearly 500 different e-cigarette brandstoday with varying levels of nicotine andthe possible presence of other chemicals.These e-cigarettes are unregulated. TheALA says there is a great deal more tolearn about these products before they canbe recommended as a safe and effectiveway for smokers to wean themselves off of smoking.

    E-cigarettes may contain additionalchemicals besides nicotine. Studies havefound detectable levels of chemicals usedin antifreeze in two leading brands of e-cig-arettes. Formaldehyde and benzene havebeen detected in some e-cigarette emis-sions. Other studies have found secondhandemissions from e-cigarettes can proveharmful to nonsmokers.

    Although some e-cigarettes may containharmful byproducts, toxicity tests indicate

    they are safer than regular cigarettes. Somehealth experts believe the benefits of quit-ting traditional cigarettes outweigh the risksposed by e-cigarettes.

    The American Heart Association agrees.In a policy statement released in August2014, the American Heart Association saidphysicians shouldn’t discourage e-cigaretteuse as a last resort to stop smoking.

    “If people cannot quit at all and havetried everything in the field, we would notdiscourage them,” said Aruni Bhatnager, thestatement’s lead writer. “It’s not something

    we would suggest.”The AHA recommends e-cigarettes only

    if smokers refuse or are intolerant of otheroptions.

    People who desire to quit smoking maylook to e-cigarettes to help their fight.Although the safety and efficacy of e-ciga-rettes remains open to debate, cannot beproven, many former smokers feel e-ciga-rettes played a significant role in helpingthem to quit smoking once and for all.

    Recognizing cancersof the eye and eyelid

    Cancer involves the uncontrolled division

    of abnormal cells in a particular part of 

    the body. Cancer begins in one area, but

    it can invade or spread to other parts of the body

    if it goes undetected or untreated.

    Certain cancers are more familiar to the general

    public than others, thanks in part to awareness

    campaigns and charity fundraisers. But no area

    of the body, including the eyes and eyelids, isimmune to cancer.

    According to the American Cancer Society, the

    most common type of eye cancer that affects

    adults is ocular melanoma, while children are

    more likely to experience retinoblastoma.

    Cancer can affect the three main parts of the

    eye, which include the eyeball, orbit and adnex-

    al structures. The eyeball includes the sclera,

    uvea and retina. The orbit is the tissue surround-

    ing the eyeball and the muscles that move the

    eye in different directions. Adnexal structures

    include the eyelids and the tear glands. Cancer

    that begins in the eyeball is known as intraocu-

    lar cancer. Many cases of adnexal cancer, or

    cancer that affects the eyelid, may actually be

    skin cancer. In fact, MD Anderson Cancer center

    says more than 90 percent of eyelid cancers are

    basal cell carcinomas of the skin.

    Eye cancer may or may not produce symptoms,and any symptoms it does produce may be dif-

    ferent based on the type of cancer present.

    Symptoms in adults may include:

    • a red or painful eye

    • blurred vision in one eye

    • change in iris color or dark spots

    on the iris

    • bulging of the eye

    • “floaters” in the field of vision

    • loss of peripheral vision

    Early signs of eye cancer are most often discov-

    ered by an eye doctor during routine eye exami-

    nations. A person who has any unusual changes

    in vision will want to visit an ophthalmologist

    promptly. Many cancers can be easily diagnosed

    by a trained physician, and early detection can

    improve prognosis. The ACS estimates that, in

    2015, there will be 2,580 new cancers (mainly

    melanomas) of the eye and orbit — 1,360 in

    men and 1,220 in women.

    Treatments for eye cancers are similar to the

    options for cancers that begin elsewhere.

    Surgery, radiation therapy, laser therapy,

    chemotherapy, and other targeted therapies may

    be used alone or in conjunction with another

    depending on the type of eye cancer present.

    Every step will be taken to improve health and

    reduce the effects of treatment on vision.

     Eye cancers are often first diag-

    nosed during otherwise routine eye

    examinations.

    Cancer screenings men should consider

    Cancer screenings play an impor-

    tant role in cancer prevention.

    Screenings may not prevent peo-

    ple from getting cancer, but they can

    detect the presence of cancer before a per-

    son begins to experience any signs or

    symptoms. Screenings also can help doc-

    tors catch cancer before it metastasizes, or

    spreads, to areas of the body outside the area

    where it originated.

    Many women get routine mammograms to

    detect for breast cancer, but women are not the

    only ones who should include cancer screen-

    ings in their healthcare routines. Men also can

    benefit from screenings, discussing the pros

    and cons of each with their physicians during

    routine health examinations.

    Colon cancer: Men should begin getting

    screened for colon cancer at age 50, though

    those with family histories of colon cancer or

    other colon issues should begin even earlier, as

    family history increases a man’s risk of devel-

    oping colon cancer. Colon cancer screenings

    may discover a type of growth known as a

    polyp, which is typically benign and can be

    removed before it develops into cancer. The

    American Cancer Society notes that men have

    various options to choose from with regard to

    screening for colon cancer. Such options

    include a colonoscopy, a stool DNA test and a

    camera pill. Speak to your physician about

    these options and discuss your family history,

    which will influence how frequently you need

    to be screened for colon cancer.

    Lung cancer: Screening for lung cancer is

    most important for men who currently or

    recently smoked. The United States Preventive

    Services Task Force recommends annual

    screening for lung cancer with low-dose com-

    puted tomography (LDCT) for men between

    the ages of 55 and 80 who have a 30 pack-year

    smoking history and currently smoke or have

    quit within the past 15 years. Screening should

    be discontinued once a man has not smoked for

    15 years or has developed a health problem that

    substantially limits a man’s life expectancy or

    his ability or willingness to undergo curative

    lung surgery. (Note: Pack-year history is calcu-

    lated by multiplying the number of packs of 

    cigarettes smoked per day by the number of 

    years the person has smoked.) The ACS notes

    that the risks associated with lung cancer

    screenings typically outweigh the benefits for

    men who have never smoked or

    quit long ago.

    Prostate cancer: The National Cancer Institute

    notes that prostate cancer is the most common

    nonskin cancer among men in the United

    States. Being 50 years of age, black and/or hav-

    ing a brother, son or father who had prostate

    cancer increase a man’s risk of developing the

    disease. The NCI notes that screening tests for

    prostate cancer, which include a digital rectal

    exam and a prostate-specific antigen test, come

    with risks, and men should discuss these risks

    and the potential benefits of prostate cancer

    screenings before deciding to be screened.

    Cancer screenings can detect cancer in its

    earliest stages, and as men get older, they

    should discuss their screening options with

    their physicians.

    How to find the right oncologist for you

    The day a person is diagnosed

    with cancer is a life-altering

    moment. Many people rely on

    support networks made up of family

    and friends to help them during their

    cancer treatments, and such support

    networks can extend to patients’

    choice of oncologists as well.

    Oncology is a branch of medicine

    involved in the diagnosis and treatment

    of tumors. The term “oncology” is

    derived from the Greek word “onco,”

    meaning bulk or mass. Upon diagnosing

    patients with cancer, oncologists explain

    the type of cancer patients have and

    explain the various treatment options

    available to patients. Oncologists also are

    on call to answer any questions and are

    often the first people patients turn to

    when they have questions about their dis-

    ease.

    Taking an active role in their cancer

    treatment can help patients feel more in

    control of their situations, and patients’

    choice of oncologist is one of the first

    big decisions they must make.

    Start with a referral. Begin by speak-

    ing with your primary care physician. He

    or she may have a list of recommended

    oncologists or ones affiliated with nearby

    hospitals.

    If a loved one has battled cancer

    in the past, ask him or her for

    a recommendation.

    Do your research. The goal is to find

    an oncologist who specializes in your

    form of cancer and has a good treatment

    success rate. Do not be afraid to ask

    about success statistics and ask for prior

    patients’ names so you can get their opin-

    ions on the care they received. Look up

    the doctor’s credentials as well. For

    example, HealthGrades.com provides

    information on malpractice and discipli-

    nary history.

    Consider a group practice. As with

    other medical providers, some oncolo-

    gists work together in full partnerships

    with other oncologists. Choosing this

    type of provider may enable you to gain

    the benefit of the doctors’ collaborative

    experience.

    Judge communication style and com-

    passion levels. Does the doctor answer

    your questions in a manner that fits with

    your personality? Do you feel supported

    by the doctor and that he or she exudes

    empathy? Oncologists need to walk the

    fine line between qualified medical

    provider and friend.

    Look into insurance coverage. While

    you may want to go with one particular

    doctor, you must investigate if your

    insurance covers that particular oncolo-

    gist. Otherwise, out-of-pocket expenses

    may be considerably high.

    Look into the hospital. Consider the

    quality of care at the hospital where the

    oncologist will treat you as a patient.

    Hospital quality can matter based on the

    type of care given, proximity to the

    patient’s home and reputation.

    A qualified, compassionate oncologist

    can make it easier to navigate a cancer

    diagnosis.

    Program size is limited.

    as they want and there is no limit to the

    number of tickets they can fill out with

    their name and parent’s signature.

    After they take their walk they “bring ina ticket that they sign to become a stronger,

    healthier family,” Heller explains. “It canbe anything, like walking to school.”

    Walking by oneself, does not count, as

    its goal is to encourage “walking with an

    adult and spending time with family,” addsHeller.

    Each Friday, two names are drawn with

    each winner receiving a plastic token to be

    placed on their sneaker or backpack to

    show their “accomplishment that theywalked or exercised,” explains Heller.

    The token “allows them to show off”

    that they won, says Morales, and it gives

    them a “sense of pride and achievement.

    They feel proud of their achievement.”For those students who do not play a

    sport, the walking program “shows they

    have been exercising with their parent.”

    Morales chose this activity because she

    says, “At times it’s hard for parents to

    make contact with their children” whenthey are involved in sports. “I think they

    feel sports is enough for them.” The walk-

    ing program “gives them time to talk and

    walk. It gives a little one on one time with

    mom and dad.”Heller agrees that the program is a great

    “family activity to socialize, talk and exer-cise. It’s a positive that they are getting

    that time and their families are encourag-

    ing it.”

    He says, “I think lives are busy. Thereare sometimes little things to do with fam-

    ily; you may go to a farm on the weekend

    or a soccer game. This is only 15 minutes

    to spare and go on a walk and enjoy the

    company with your family.”So far they have had a great turnout fill-

    ing almost half of a paint size bucket dur-

    ing the first week.

    Her favorite part is the comments and

    feedback from participants.Some kids have been walking to school

    with a parent, or even both parents.

    One father said to his son, ‘tell Mrs.

    Morales what we did last night.’ His son

    replies, ‘I walked with my dad in the rain.’

    “I thought that was great,” says Morales.“They had their rain coats on.”

    T

    he Hackettstown Senior Centershares its space with a senior service

    that benefits residents over age 55throughout the area.Pathstone is a program in New Jersey,

    New York, Pennsylvania, Ohio, Vermont,Virginia and Puerto Rico that provides jobtraining and employment services, specifi-cally to farmworkers and seniors, accord-ing to its website.

    The Hackettstown office specializes intraining and job placement for senior citi-zens, according to a press release. Theyseek out people 55-years-old or older whomeet certain income requirements depend-

    ing on family size and place them in jobtraining programs with non-profit organi-zations. The goals are to assist these sen-iors in upgrading their skills, getting theminvolved in the community and providingextra income with the ultimate goal of placing them in full-time jobs.

    The Pathstone office itself is staffedwith program clients. Other organizationsthat take Pathstone clients are NOR-WESCAP, the Hackettstown Free PublicLibrary, the Hackettstown HistoricalSociety Museum and area churches and

    nutrition sites.Most of the jobs are clerical, CarmellaSwayze of the Hackettstown office said,but some of the nutrition center jobs are inthe kitchen. All are part-time with a maxi-mum of 15 hours each week, she said.Clients are paid $8.38 an hour, the currentNew Jersey minimum wage.

    Just as people on unemployment mustprove they are still seeking a job, clients of Pathstone must continue to look for a joband fill out paperwork testifying to that

    every pay period, which is every twoweeks, Swayze said.

    Although ideally clients get work soon-

    er, the maximum duration of the Pathstoneprogram is four years, Swayze said.During those four years, Pathstone pays

    the wages of the clients, but the employerprovides the training, Swayze said. Theideal situation would be for the host busi-ness to hire the clients after the four yearsis up, she added.

    The Hackettstown office is a satelliteoffice to the main one in Paterson, whichhas several employees, Swayze said. Thewebsite also listed one in Vineland.Pathstone shares the Hackettstown office

    with the town’s office on aging, with eachusing it certain days out of the week. Theoffice is in the town’s senior citizens’ cen-ter off Main Street behind theHackettstown Community Center.

    Part of Swayze’s job is recruitment. Shehangs flyers with tear-off phone numbersin non-profits around the county and inchurches. She is working to get Pathstoneon Comcast’s community bulletin boardsince most of the county is served by thatcable provider. She also tries to spread theword by networking with seniors.

    Another part of her job is to interviewthe seniors who come in with interest inthe program and find them the proper jobplacement with one of the non-profits thatparticipates in Pathstone.

    Anyone interested in using Pathstoneservices or in providing employment canreach the Hackettstown office at 908-747-8494. The state office has an emergencyhotline number, 800-624-1432, and can bereached at [email protected].

    As children get ready to dress up forHalloween in a few weeks, it is

    important to remember that

    October is breast cancer awareness month.

    Florham Park resident Karen Casolaro,

    who underwent a double mastectomy in2009, beat breast cancer and now helps

    others overcome similar obstacles.

    Casolaro was overwhelmed with sup-

    port from the community and in 2010,

    founded Halos For Angels to help thoseless fortunate.

    Halos For Angels, Inc. launched on Jan.

    7, 2010, a 501(c) 3, a nonprofit charity that

    helps community families in need due to

    sudden tragedy. It offers temporary sup-port and services until the families areback on their feet once again.

    “Halos For Angels, Inc. is for the peo-

    ple,” Casolaro said. “A place where one

    goes to give and to receive through love.

    For no one should go through suddentragedy without personal connection, sup-

    port and love of an angel.”

    Casolaro, who is a mother of five chil-

    dren- with children in Hanover Park High

    and Ridgedale Middle in Florham Park-

    Children Dress Up To Help The Less Fortunate

    design, festival games, prizes, music,

    treats and more.

    The fundraiser involves many volun-

    teers, which come from Florham Park,

    Madison, Chatham, East Hanover,

    Roseland, Livingston, West Orange,Whippany and as far as Sparta and

    Newton. The organization has helped more

    than 81 families since its inception.

    “It has been a privilege and honor to

    have been chosen to help serve our 81recipients,” Casolaro said. “This blessing

    has been and continues to be supported and

    serviced by our volunteers that “give

    back” through community outreach efforts

    all for the greater good. Extending supportand services through compassion, determi-

    nation, kindness, consideration, respectful,

    loyalty, strong in faith, and most impor-

    tantly, love.”

    The Fright Factor ticket booth was

    designed by Casolaro’s husband, John and

    built by the Morris County VoTech stu-

    dents. He wanted to create a haunted house

    exclusively for Halos For Angels. It origi-

    nated as a 900 square foot structure andthree years later, he transformed the struc-

    ture into what it is today, a 3,000 square

    foot “pathway to terror.”

    “It has been a success year after year as

    it grows bigger and better each year withadded “scares” that will haunt your every

    move with mechanical surprises,”

    Casolaro said. “Some of the brave make it

    out while others remain year after year.”

    It is open Saturdays 3 p.m.-6 p.m.;Sundays 1 p.m.-4 p.m. and it is located at

    186 Ridgedale Ave., Florham Park. The

    entrance fee is $10. For information, go to
