Ever since he was little, James ‘Jim’
Schmitt of Mendham Twp. has
enjoyed drawing maps and learning
about New York City.
Little did he know that his knowledge
and skill would lead him to writing a guide
currently rated five stars and listed number
one on Amazon in the NY Travel Category.
Self-published in April 2014, "Knowing
Where You're Going: New York City” is a
colorful New York City guidebook that
explores America's number one travel desti-
nation with a visual map-based format.
Every neighborhood in Manhattan is cov-
ered in detail, with maps that feature key
streets and highlights shopping, dining, and
nightlife districts to visit.Different than other guidebooks of New
York City, Schmitt says that his goal was to
provide much more detail and provide a
clearer view of the city to tourists, visitors,
and even city residents who may not know
the best places to shop or eat because they
live there, go into their job then back into
their neighborhood.
“This one is much more detailed,” says
Schmitt, about his book referred to as “the
Ultimate Manhattan Map Guide. “It’s very
neighborhood focused. All the maps arehand-drawn. Anyone who doesn’t know
New York City or even those who do
know,” will appreciate the guidebook.
Each chapter focuses on a certain section
of the city such as South Street Seaport,
Times Square, Hells Kitchen, China Town,
Little Italy. “It’s very zoomed in and
detailed.” People from New Jersey like to
go into the city for dinner or they go to the
theater district or the village, “but they
never explore other areas of Manhattan that
are really interesting,” he says.
Along with each map is informative
information about neighborhood attractions
and seasonal events. Streets are colorfully
highlighted where restaurants or retail
stores can be found, simplifying visits to the
city. Points of interest, parking, and mass
transportation options are also clearly des-ignated.
“You can look at a street and its all jew-
elry stores; another street is all shoe stores.
This is a very New York phenomenon. I
wanted to make maps of each neighborhood
and mark where all the book stores are.”
Detailed diagrams of some of NY’s most
confusing underground places such as Penn
Station, Grand Central Terminal, Times
Square Subway Station, Fulton Street
Subway Station, Rockefeller Center Lower
Level Concourse, are included, as well asuseful information regarding city trans-
portation by car, taxi, bus, subway, and foot.
Even the city parks are mapped out, depict-
ing paths, athletic fields, points of interest,
and restrooms.
“Central Park was given special treat-
ment, with all 840 acres drawn in exquisite
detail right down to the last walking path,
playground, and garden.”
Schmitt, 46, has lived in Mendham for
the past four years and grew up in SouthJersey. His roots to New York stem from his
mother who grew up in Long Island and his
maternal grandparents who are from
Manhattan.
His grandfather, Alfred Bowden,
believed that it was very important “that
people understood how to get around New
York,” so “we would play games,” Schmitt
says, ever since he was five years old. He
would quiz his grandson every visit with
him in NYC until he was a teenager, asking

fiction writer Dan Gutman was also there
signing books. One family friend bought 100
copies of Ben’s books and sent them to hos-
pitals and special needs schools.At the upcoming gaming event, Ben
hopes to raise $500 to $600, “inspire kids”
and show them that they too can do some-
thing “to start their own causes.”
All soft cover copies, Ben sells his books
for $5. His good friend, George Csatlos, 10,
is his illustrator; and other 10-year old friend
Henrik Hamilton, writes his comics.
To get ready for the gaming event, Ben
and his mom are making many copies of his
books, atleast 50 copies for each; some com-
panies are donating copies to print as well.They are also looking for a sponsor to help
print copies.
A few days later, Ben plans to attend an
awards dinner with Family Promise of
Morris County on Thurs., March 26, at the
Meadow Wood Manor in Randolph, 6:30
p.m. to 9:30 p.m. More than 300 people are
expected to attend. Ben’s books will be sold
and he is expected to receive the Creative
Impact Award. Open to the public, cost is
$65 per ticket.
Looking ahead, Ben’s mom is hoping to
create a 501 non-profit organization with
Ben’s books. He has more biographies he
would like to write, but may expand his
genre down the road.
“I’ve always been into biographies and
people,” says Ben. “I thought biographieswould be efficient and good quality. I do lots
and lots of research. I sit with four or five
books about the topic then reveal what I
recall.”
Ben also wrote a book about sharks, plans
to write one about Halloween and even
attempt some fiction books.
“I’m hoping to write more books as I go
along,” says Ben. When his is not writing or
researching, you will find Ben active in
sports whether it is baseball, football or bas-
ketball.Ben’s books are available at the gaming
event, awards dinner, and two stores: Short
Stories or Tons of Toys, both in Madison; or
email Ben at [email protected] to
order.

As one of the oldest and largest of the Habitat for
Humanities in New Jersey, the Morris affiliation
has made great strides in building and providing
homes to many in the local area.
The Morris Habitat for Humanity is celebrating its
30th anniversary this year since its inception in Oct.
1985. More than 300 people were expected to attend the
anniversary gala on Sat., Feb. 28, at Meadow Wood
Manor in Randolph.
The Morris Habitat for Humanity Anniversary
Committee is planning other events throughout the year
to celebrate this milestone, including a Boy Scouts
Jamboree in October. About 5,000 boy scouts are invited
to Liberty State Park in NY, to frame houses to be used
for future buildings by the habitat. The educational event
to teach others how to build house frames is open to the
public.
“It was amazing to realize just how much has been
accomplished,” stated Blair Schleicher Bravo of
Mountain Lakes, Morris Habitat’s chief executive officer,
“and we are committed to continue to build on the solid
foundation our founders have provided.”
As stated in a recent press release, “From small but
determined beginnings, the affiliate has grown and pros-
pered thanks to the generosity of local corporations,
municipalities, individual donors and thousands of volun-
teers.”
Bravo said, “It is overwhelming at times to see how all
these projects come together. It takes so many people put-ting their talents to work and we are always pleased and
thrilled with the results.”
Morris Habitat for Humanity started in Oct. 1985 by
four leaders of various churches in Morristown who heard
about Habitat for Humanity International, which had been
founded nine years earlier in 1976.
Habitat for Humanity is a nonprofit, ecumenical
Christian ministry that builds homes for people in need. It
has grown to 1,500 local affiliates in the U.S. and 100
national organizations in 90 countries in the world. More
than one million families, representing five million peo-
ple, have found improved living conditions through
Habitat for Humanity.
The founders, Millard and Linda Fuller- a married
couple from Alabama- had organized a walk in 1984 with
former U.S. President Jimmy Carter- from Maine to
Atlanta, stopping in New York, to gain visibility and
spark interest in the habitat. The four local leaders from
Morristown went to see Pres. Carter in N.Y. to learn moreabout the habitat’s mission, and then just one year later
started the local affiliate.
“There are a lot of people that weren’t able to take
advantage of job or education opportunities,” explained
Bravo, who has been involved with the Morris Habitat for
the past 15 years. The goal is to provide lower income
families who cannot get a mortgage an opportunity to
become a homeowner.
Morris Habitat for Humanity is one of 24 active habi-
tat humanities in NJ, says Bravo. “We are one of the older
ones,” next to Patterson who recently celebrated their
30th too. “We are one of the largest ‘and we also operateone of the largest ReStores.”
As volunteers, the organization works with municipal-
ities on affordable housing obligations through the
Council on Affordable Housing (COAH), she explains.“They help us find property and housing trust funds. It’s
a partnership; we are a non-profit developer.”
Many larger developments set aside ten percent of
their building space for affordable housing, she says.
“We offer ourselves as a partner to municipalities and
developers to offset this obligation,” says Bravo. They
also work with many agencies to identify families in need
of a home.
Through a selection process, the habitat builds homes
for families. It markets in a four county area every time a
property becomes available for low income development.
Individuals being considered are required to attend four

“These are not homeless people,” says
Bravo. “They want an opportunity for the
American dream. We have a goal of ensur-
ing that everybody has a safe, decent,
affordable place to live and along the wayother people are assisted too. It’s about the
journey,” in the end to provide a quality
home.
To date, Morris Habitat has served 305
families though home ownership opportu-
nities, home preservation, and internation-
al home building programs.
Since it was started in October of 1985,
Morris Habitat has completed 68 homes.
The first home project (a fourplex) was
finished in 1990. Since then, 48 of the
homes built were new construction proj-ects, 19 were home rehabilitation projects
and two were what is called a “home is a
box” projects (premade home sections
sent to a build site for Hurricane Katrina
victims).
Currently, there are eight projects
underway in Morris County. In the cover-
age area of MJ Media, 25 unit projects in
Randolph plan to begin in 2017/2018;
three projects in Roxbury that include a
fourplex in Port Murray, a duplex on Edith
Drive, and two sixplexes on Main Street inSuccasunna to begin in 2016/ 2018; two
single family homes in Mt. Olive expect-
ing to break ground this year at Wallman
Way in Budd Lake; a fiveplex in Morris
Twp. known as the Carlton Project is
underway; two duplexes in Morristown
with a third duplex on Willow Street to
begin later this year.
Despite the cold, “we build all year
round,” says Bravo. “We try to get a home
enclosed by winter so we put up a warm-
ing station.”
In 2014, Morris Habitat closed on five
homes, started eight homes and preserved
ten homes through home repair.
Volunteers go in and fix leaky windows
and other improvements through its home
repair program. For 2015, it plans to close
on six more homes, start another sixhomes and work on 12 home repair proj-
ects.
Besides local projects, the organization
plans to lead another trip to Armenia in
June for about ten days with 20 volunteers
to repair low-income housing units “that
are in major disrepair,” she says. Every
habitat affiliate must dedicate ten percent
to international homebuilding, she says,
“so we partner with another country.”
Over the years they have worked with
Honduras, where they have become a “sis-ter affiliate” and built 35 homes in La
Celba, Honduras, as well as in Armenia.
“It’s a wonderful way to see what’s
happening around the world, not as a
tourist but as a partner to help in issues
such as housing,” says Bravo. “Many are
living in conditions that are shocking tosay the least.”
The accomplishments of Morris
Habitat for Humanity could not have been
made without the volunteers, generous
corporate and private donations and sup-
port from municipalities.
In 2014 alone more than $2,400,000
was raised.
It takes about three years to identify a
property and get a building permit, says
Bravo, adding that some towns have been
very supportive. She plans to attend anupcoming council meeting in Mt. Olive
Twp. to recognize its support.
“Mt. Olive has been a terrific partner
with Morris Habitat,” she says, from its
administrative leaders, government offi-
cials and community. “They understand a
community is made up of all types of peo-
ple. They help us identify property. They
are just very helpful and supportive of
people who need a place to live,” as well
as Roxbury and Randolph too. “The whole
community is a pleasure to work with.”Besides donations, Morris Habitat also
gets funds through its ReStore program, a
retail organization in Randolph that has
raised $1.5 million to offset the building
program, says Bravo. New and slightly
used items, including furnishings, appli-
ances and building materials that wouldotherwise be donated to landfills, are col-
lected and sold at ReStore.
Morris Habitat for Humanity is the
recipient of the “Making Lives Brighter
Award” by Capitol Lighting; and “Best
Affordable Housing Award” by Metro
Builders.
Moms are invited to come out on May
9, the day before Mother’s Day, with sis-
ters and grandmothers to help with the
build at the Hazel Street Duplex in
Morristown.In June, come out for Hammer for
Habitat at Morris Habitat for Humanity in
Randolph to build a wall that will be used
as frames for upcoming builds. School
groups, churches, scouting groups and
families can host, support or learn how to
build a wall by Home Depot experts who
will be on site.

While a Requiem is about death, composer Gabriel
Faure put a special twist on his that is reflective of
Christians’ marking of Palm Sunday and the
beginning of Holy Week. A program note from the
Symphony Silicon Valley states, “Rather than taking a pre-
dominantly fearful or mournful tone, the work reflects his
belief that death releases us into harmony with all creation.”
Faure’s Requiem, along with other pieces, will be per-
formed Palm Sunday, March 29, at 4 p.m., by a Unity Choir
made up of people from a variety of area churches. Held at
the First United Methodist Church of Newton, the choir will
be directed by Henry Repp of Netcong, who is also the
organist. The soloists will Tom Carle of Randolph, tenor;
Rev. David Young, Newton, bass; Cassandra Marie Lambros,
Artist-in-Residence at Westfield Presbyterian Church, sopra-
no and violin soloist; and playing the harp will be André
Tarantiles of New York City.
All are welcome to attend. A free will offering will be
taken and there will be a reception following the concert.
While the main work is the Requiem (with Lambros and
Young as soloists), a number of other pieces will be per-
formed. Those include “Cantique de Jean Racine,” which is
also by Faure and will be sung by the choir with harp and
organ accompaniment. Another Faure work performed will
be “Tantum,” sung by the choir with solo by Carle and harp
and organ. An instrumental piece, “Elegy” by Harold
Friedell will feature organ, harp, and violin. Anthems per-
formed will be “Evening Hymn” by Gardiner and Abide With
Me” arranged by Bertalot.
The members of the Unity Choir represent 27 different
churches. Those nearby churches include Christ Episcopal
Church, Budd Lake; Community Presbyterian Church,
Chester; First Memorial Presbyterian Church, Dover; Hilltop
Presbyterian Church, Mendham; First Presbyterian Church,
Succasunna; Succasunna United Methodist Church,
Succasunna; Holy Trinity Orthodox Church, Randolph;
Grace Church on the Mount, Netcong; Holy Trinity
Orthodox Church, Randolph; Our Lady of the Lake Roman
Catholic Church, Mt. Arlington; Panther Valley Ecumenical
Church, Hackettstown; Sacred Heart Roman Catholic
Church, Dover; St. Matthew the Apostle Roman Catholic
Church, Randolph; and Trinity United Methodist Church,
Hackettstown.
Ed and Karen Burkhart of Budd Lakes sing in the choir.
Ed Burkhart is a tenor, while Karen Burkhart is an alto. She
shared, “We enjoy singing in this choir because it gives us theopportunity to sing more classically-oriented church music,
which we hadn't really done since our college days many
years ago, now. [Also,] we like this year's pieces because
they are challenging, without being frustrating, and [are]
beautiful as well.”
The Burkharts also shared that they enjoy singing with
people from “all over the area,” and that the experience has
lead them to meet and sing with “many excellent musicians.”
That sentiment was echoed by Audrey Schultz of
Randolph. Schultz, an alto in the choir and music director of
the Succasunna United Methodist Church, said “I love get-
ting together with fellow musicians to do major choral works
like the Faure Requiem.”
Henry Repp, besides being a top-notch organist, recruits
wonderful soloists and other instrumentalists. When you add
to that experienced choral singers from various churches and
other choral groups, a work of art comes to life rather quick-
ly. Being able to present this in performance, giving enjoy-
ment to other music lovers, is a plus.
The concert’s director, Repp, has been a church organist
for 48 years as well the director of several choral groups.
That experience is appreciated by those in the choir.
“Having the opportunity to sing classical sacred music
with the Unity Choir under the direction of Henry Repp is a
wish fulfillment of many years for me,” said Marilyn
Gunther, a soprano from Trinity United Methodist Church in
Hackettstown. “I have sung the Requiem in the past, many
years ago. Doing it now with this excellent choir under
Henry’s precise and disciplineddirection has been exhilarating and humbling. Henry
requires excellence. The face he shows his choir is always
smiling with a touch of benevolence peeking through. I am
blessed by this experience.”
Repp’s experience takes in a variety of venues. He began
his organ studies with Alfred Mayer of
Morristown and continued with Dorothe Lanning at First
Memorial Presbyterian Church in Dover. He pursued
advanced study with Robert MacDonald at the Riverside
Church in New York City and the Cathedral Basilica of the
Area Singers Unite For Palm Sunday Concert

It was Mardi Gras Sunday! The sounds of jazz filled the
Fellowship Hall and sanctuary of the Stanhope United
Methodist Church in late February. Worship at the
Netcong church included an upbeat tempo provided bysome local musicians; while before and after in the
Fellowship Hall, a fundraising breakfast filled up those who
attended with a hearty breakfast and toe-tapping music.
This third annual Mardi Gras- themed Sunday raised $400
for Hurricane Sandy Relief. The idea for a Mardi Gras was
the brainchild of Scott Lefurge of Byram. After Hurricane
Sandy, the church had wanted to come up with a fundrais-
ing event that would both help in the relief and in promot-
ing church events and reaching out to the community.
Lefurge, the president of the church’s United Methodist
Men, is a music teacher and knew some jazz versions of
church hymns.Why jazz?
“The devastation of Hurricane Sandy in New Jersey
reminded me of the devastation of Hurricane Katrina in
New Orleans, Louisiana, many years ago,” said Lefurge.
“New Orleans made me think of Jazz Music and Mardi
Gras. I wanted to find a way that we could incorporate those
ideas into a fundraising event. We came up with the idea to
have a pancake breakfast with live jazz music at the church.
We planned on scheduling our fundraiser breakfast before
and after worship on the Sunday before Fat Tuesday - Mardi
Gras."
Even though the effects of Hurricane Sandy may be amemory to many in this area, parts of New Jersey are still
rebuilding; that’s why the event has become an annual one.
“There are so many families that are still waiting to go
home,” said Lynn Zaremba, church pastor. “The United
Methodist Church continues to rebuild homes and lives.
Losing your home is so much more than just the building,it's a feeling of loss and sadness. Many items that were in
their homes can never be replaced like photos, family heir-
looms, mementos from a first date, etc. Memories of the
precious moments of their life are all they have. With God's
help we try to alleviate some of their stress and sadness, and
bring them "A Future With Hope."
“A Future with Hope" is a United Methodist program
that was initiated to help with the Hurricane Sandy relief
efforts. According to its site, http://www.afuturewithhope.
org/about, 250,000 homes were affected by Hurricane
Sandy, 82,000 homes sustained major damage and 161,000
people were displaced, A Future With Hope helps with longterm recovery.
“A Future with Hope gets people back home by provid-
ing case managers, professional construction supervisors,
and thousands of volunteers to work together to repair,
rebuild, and renew.”
The free will offering from the Stanhope United
Methodist Mardi Gras breakfast and one taken at worship
that day, went to that program. Wanting 100 percent of the
monies raised to go to Sandy Relief, the church and its
members donated all the food and items to cover the cost of
holding the fundraiser.
The live music for the day was provided by a variety of area musicians.
Angelo Benincasa of Green Township, the church organ-
ist, played piano. On drums was Jared Scaturo, of Byram,a Lenape Valley High School junior. From Stanhope, was
vocalist Gabrielle Worthington, another Lenape High
School student. One of Lefurge’s students, Carter Prince
from Bernardsville, played tenor sax.
For Lefurge, playing music was a family affair. Lefurge
played alto and tenor sax. His son, Zachary, who came
from Kutztown, Pennsylvania for the event, played trumpet.
His other
son, Jeremy Lefurge, a Lenape Valley High School sen-
ior played alto and baritone sax. Rosalie Lefurge, mother
and wife, completed the Lefurge family Jazz Ensemble,
playing her clarinet when she joined her family in the jazz

classic "American Patrol."
“It means a great deal to be able to use
the gifts and talents that God has given you
to share with and inspire others,” said
Lefurge. “Having my sons and wife play
music with me and share it in church wor-ship or at church events means so much. It
is one very meaningful way we can bless
our church and community by sharing of
ourselves.”
Worship that Sunday was as lively as
was the breakfast. For Zaremba, who
arrived last
July, this was her first church Mardi
Gras. She admitted that she didn’t know
what to expect.
“I loved it!” said Zaremba. “I grew up
with big bands, jazz music so the music
brought back wonderful memories. My dad
had played with the Glenn Miller bands for
a short time in his late teens or early 20's. I
loved that Scott Lefurge would read to us
the history of the hymn and then the five
piece band would jazz it up!”
The congregation was invited to feel the
music: sing, clap, sway, dance….whatever
the Holy Spirit moved them to do. Among
those there was the District Superintendent
of the Skylands District of the United
Methodist Church, The Rev. Dr. Stephen
Bechtold, who had stopped by, not knowing
that Sunday Jazz was in the air. The songs
that Sunday included two of Lefurge’sfavorites: "Just a Closer Walk With Thee"
and "What a Wonderful World" made
famous by Louis Armstrong. Even the frigid
temperature and snow could not keep peo-
ple away and Lefurge said the church was
happy so many came out.
For those that couldn’t make it this year,
Lefurge hopes they’ll mark down the
Sunday before Ash Wednesday next year
and come to the Mardi Gras.
“Stanhope United Methodist Church
tries to bring the love of God to all we
meet,” said Zaremba. “The Mardi Gras
breakfast and Jazz Worship Service are
ways we share God's love with our commu-
nity.”

E
very day I meet people who come to
me seeking solutions for missing
teeth, infected teeth, dentures, or whosimply want to improve their smile. Dental
implants almost always come into the discus-
sion. Over the years, I regularly see certain
misconceptions repeat themselves.
Myth #1: My dentist told me I have to see
a specialist / implant specialist.
Dental implants may be placed by any
dentist who holds a license. They are not a
specialty. Typically, they are placed by gen-
eral dentists, oral surgeons, periodontists, and
prosthodontists.
It’s not so important as to what type of dentist places them, but rather how much
training and experience they have. Also,
don’t forget that there is a second part to the
implant once it is placed, one or more teeth
have to be placed on top of the implant. If an
implant is placed while ignoring this second
part of the treatment, disastrous results may
follow, such as bone loss, implant loss, frac-
ture, and poor esthetics. I have had to correct
situations like this too often.
Myth #2: My friend had an implant
placed for a certain amount, and your quote is
much more!
When comparing fees, be sure you are
comparing apples to apples. Your situation
may be different than your friend’s. Some
conditions to evaluate include: 1) Is a tooth
already present where the implant needs to be
placed? This will require more work and
materials. 2) Is there enough bone present, or
is grafting required to grow the bone? 3)
Location in the mouth is very important. An
implant in the front of the mouth has a much
higher esthetic demand than the back of the
mouth. This will affect cost as well. The
more ideal the situation, the lower the cost.
Myth #3: It’s always better to keep a nat-
ural tooth than to remove it and place an
implant.
When a tooth has been diagnosed with avery poor prognosis, it is not always better to
hang onto it. Recurring infections can devel-
op which cost time and money, the disease
can affect adjacent teeth, and over time, they
can cause additional bone loss. Removing
infected teeth and placing an implant can
eliminate the recurring infections, restore
health to adjacent teeth, and preserve bone in
your jaw.
Myth #4: Once I have an implant, I don’t
have to see the dentist anymore.
This is not true. Although problems withimplants are rare, they require observation
and maintenance. Most of the time problems
will develop within the first two years.
Failure to recognize and correct these prob-
lems often leads to implant loss, and worse,
loss of adjacent teeth. Expect to return to the
dentist 3 to 4 times within the first two years
for maintenance.

sultations. If you’d like to speak with Dr.

One freezing morning down at the bus stop, a day
after one of the storms…with so many piled on topof the other they all blended in after a while… my
two little boys and I were quite entertained watching our
neighbor try to push up another neighbor’s car stuck in the
driveway.
While pushing her car from behind, she pressed on the
gas pedal; he would stop, shovel under her tires attempting
to get the car to budge.
After my boys got on the bus, I turn my car around to
drive back up my street, but stop in the middle of the road
to watch my neighbor continue his quest to get that car up
the driveway. With my coffee brewing at home, I was eager
to get my day started but felt bad just leaving the two out in
the cold stuck in the snow.
As hesitant as I was, I rolled down my window and
asked if he needed my help, thinking how would feeble, lit-
tle me make a difference helping to push a car up a snow-
covered icy driveway? He replied, with a smirk as I recall,
saying ‘you can help if you want’ but then continued on his
mission. So I sat there a few more minutes with my heat
blasting, window rolled down, thinking ‘Ok, I’m wearing
my slip on sneakers, no gloves, I will have no value add
whatsoever.’ But how do I just drive off- isn’t that plain
rude?
A few more minutes go by. My neighbor had to be out
there for at least 30 minutes, working up a sweat, pushing,
shoveling, trying to help the neighbor’s nanny. So I ask
again, “you want me to help? I can try.”I get out of my car, walk on over and warn him of my
slip on sneakers so I will probably slide. With me on the
right, and he on the left, we push from the rear of the car,
and with one push, the nanny presses on the gas, and vwah
la.. the car is up her driveway! I throw my hands up like I
just won a 5K. It was thrilling! The nanny gets out of the
car, introductions are exchanged, she gives me a hug and
I’m on my way.
So what? Some of you may be thinking.
Many women my age may feel a sense of weakness or
insecurity that their muscles do not matter. I often feel that
way, especially when I can’t open a jar of mayonnaise, and
then with one try my 14-year old cranks it open. But, after
this one experience, I am certain more than ever that our
muscles do matter, no matter how weak we think we may
be. My little push, support from the right side, made all the
difference.
As an aerobics instructor and student at the Mt. Olive
Recreation Exercise Program, I keep my heart strong
through regular cardiovascular exercise, as well as my mus-
cles with repeated weight training exercises. Studies have
shown that more muscle helps to burn more fat; and experts
suggest that every 30 minutes of cardio exercise should be
matched with weight bearing exercise.
Working out with weights strengthens muscles, helps
prevent osteoporosis, and can surely build self-esteem.
While walking is great, or running, jumping rope andaerobics to burn calories and fat, using hand held weights
will build muscles to keep the body strong. Find an exer-
cise program that incorporates hand held weights during
workout routines, or takes the time for push-ups.
I personally prefer the exercise program through Mt.
Olive Recreation because my workouts surround me with
my peers, ladies my age, with similar interests and exercise
goals, and at the same time, I’m supporting the town as pro-
ceeds from recreational programs fund various town proj-
ects and programs.

_sports.html#exercise. Click on the link for the “Mt Olive
Exercise Program” www.mtoliverecreation.com to sign up.
The best part of my weight bearing story was when the
nanny knocked on my front door later that day. When I
answered, she asked me, “Is the woman here who helped
push up my car?” I looked at her, dumbfounded and said,
“yes, hi, that was me.” Guess I looked a little different from
the morning when I had on my big, dark sunglasses, hat and
oversized fleece coat. Who would believe that the person
under that disguise was a five-foot, one third inch, 120-
pound (give or take a few) woman? As she hands me a box
of chocolates, I say “you shouldn’t have,” thanks me again,
and is on her way.

Mendham Author...
him “little kid questions” like name five
bridges into Manhattan, or what subway is
underneath Lexington Ave. “He’d ask me
city questions and it would become a game
we would play,” describes Schmitt.The fact that his friends often ask him
how to get into the city or where to go when
they get there also motivated Schmitt to cre-
ate his guide.
“I was always the person to call if a
friend was going to New York,” says
Schmitt. I would draw a map.”
His goal is “to show people who don’t
know the city well how to see it from a
native.” By highlighting streets, Schmitt
says “you can go with confidence some-
place new.”Besides his knowledge of NYC,
Schmitt’s favorite hobby has been cartogra-
phy. “I always loved maps and drawing,”
says Schmitt, “since I can hold a crayon, I
would draw maps of everything, my house,
my room. I loved drawing these detailed
maps; it’s just something I did.”
In college, Schmitt even started out tak-
ing course in architecture as he loved tech-
nical art, but then switched his major and
received his degree in English in 1988 from
Brookdale Community College inMonmouth.
“I was always a good writer,” says
Schmitt. “I always enjoyed writing and
English.”
Skilled as a writer and cartographer,
Schmitt’s book is on the map as a number
one guide. Self-published through his wife’sdesign company, Tinfoil Rose Design,
Schmitt and his spouse, Donna worked
together to complete the finished product.
The couple frequented NY often to research
and learn all they could about the neighbor-
hoods and streets of Manhattan.
“I wanted to explore the whole thing,”
says Schmitt. “I’ve walked every street in
Manhattan,” living and working there since
he was a teenager, whether in construction,
fragrance industry and even music, he says.
He has worked as a subway musician for thepast four years, playing during the winter
months traditional Irish music on his man-
dolin with his friend who sings, at several
locations such as West Fourth Street
Station, Greenwich Village and Times
Square station.
“In between songs people would always
come up to us and ask directions,” says
Schmitt. “They weren’t afraid to ask. How
dangerous could you be, this man holding
this mandolin. We are constantly handing
out directions and advice in betweensongs.”
Schmitt, who works full-time as a per-
fumer creating fragrances for companies
such as Bath and Body Works and Yankee
Candle, spent four years with his wife
researching in NY for the guide “making
sure the details were right. We spent a lot of time walking the streets and taking notes.
We mapped out all of the major subway sta-
tions. It’s huge; it’s easy to get lost. It’s like
a massive underground world.
“I wanted to alleviate anything that
makes people nervous or confused,” when it
comes to NYC, Schmitt says, adding that he
dedicated the book to his brother-in-law
who is “phobic” and “terrified” of going to
the city.
“It’s not the scary place it once was,”
says Schmitt. “New York crime rate is down75 percent since the 80’s. Manhattan is so
safe, even Harlem and Washington
Heights.” The guide “doesn’t tell you where
not to go; it does tell you highlights where
to go.
“This is my passion,” Schmitt continues.
“It’s designed to not make you afraid any-
more. There’s nothing to fear if you know
where you are going.”
In the course of their research, Schmitt
says I was deeply affected by the homeless-
ness that I saw in New York City. “Wewalked through every subway section,
every transit hub.” As a way “to give back a
little bit, Schmitt has decided to donate a
dollar from every book that he sells and
give to the Doe Fund, a charity that helps
homeless people integrate back into society.
The charity’s motto is “a hand up not a handdown.”
He also researched on the internet histor-
ical information about areas in the city and
incorporates interesting facts in his guide-
book.
While he is a NJ native, Schmitt admits
to his fascination with NYC. “My family is
from there; I’ve always been connected. It’s
always something that was mysterious and
big and a little scary.” But drawing maps of
the city made it easier for him to not fear it,
he says.“New York, there’s this pull,” concludes
Schmitt. “Everything is there; all your
dreams are there,” whether it is to be a jour-
nalist, perfumist, actor, singer. “It’s a place
of dreams. A prerequisite for your dreams to
come true is getting over the fear of making
your dreams come true. If you can go there,
you can go everywhere.”

Senior Settlements has introduced an
innovative Long-Term Care Benefit as
a financial planning tool to help fami-
lies struggling with the costs of long-termcare. The Long-Term Care Benefit program
converts a life insurance policy into a month-
ly benefit that pays for any form of Senior
Care including Homecare, Assisted Living,
Nursing Home, Memory Care, and Hospice.
One of the biggest challenges families
face when confronting long term care is the
monthly expenses. For millions of seniors
with a life insurance policy they now have an
option available to convert a portion of the
death benefit to help cover these costs.
Not to be confused with long-term careinsurance, an annuity, or a policy loan; the
Long-Term Care Benefit is unique because
there are no wait periods to qualify, no limita-
tions, no costs to apply, and no premium pay-
ments. Instead of lapsing or surrendering a
life insurance policy, the death benefit is con-
verted into a “living benefit” in the form of an
irrevocable, FDIC insured account that makes
monthly payments automatically to the
account holder’s choice of care provider.
Sometimes compared to a reverse mortgage
for a life insurance policy; the account is tax
advantaged and a Medicaid qualified spend-
down.
“Most people do not realize that a life
insurance policy is an asset that they are
legally entitled to convert into another formof coverage instead of lapsing or surrendering
their policy,” said Paula Ash, CLTC. “Senior
Settlements is thrilled to give people a quick
and simple option to convert a life insurance
policy’s death benefit into a Long-Term Care
Benefit and immediately apply it towards
their choice of senior care.
The Long-Term Care Benefit Plan has
become an accepted form of payment for
every form of Senior Care services across the
United States because it pays out the present
day value of a policy and keeps the account
holder private pay, delaying their need to go
onto Medicaid and allowing them to choose
the form of care they want.
“Seniors don’t want to go onto Medicaid
and move straight into a nursing home,” said
Ash, “and a big advantage of the Benefit
Account is that it allows for immediate use,
and as care needs change the flexibility to be
able to adjust the monthly benefit amount and
move from one form of care to another.”
