By Kate HalseAlocal rock radio station in Dover, 105.5 WDHA,recently announced this year's 24 nominees for itsannual Teachers Who Rock program. Among the

list of winners for this year's program is Mrs. JenniferCarcich, a 2nd and 3rd grade teacher at the Unity Charter

Morristown Teacher Jennifer Carcich Nominated for Local Radio Station WDHA's Teachers Who Rock Program

School in Morristown. Thewinners will attend anawards banquet on April28th.

The goal of the contest isto recognize and honorteachers who work inschools throughout NewJersey. Teacher Who Rockis sponsored by the NJEA,or New Jersey EducationAssociation. Parents, princi-pals, fellow students, super-intendents, and students areall encouraged to submittheir nominations for teach-ers they believe have donemore than is necessary fortheir school and students.

Co-workers, parents, andstudents of Carcich wrote into the station to nominateher for the program,explaining that she goes outof her way to connect withand teach every student.According to those whonominated her, Carcich edu-cates the students academi-cally and strives to teachthem about compassion andempathy, for the environ-ment and for one another. Inaddition to her standout roleas a teacher, Carcich is inthe middle of campaigningto raise much-needed fundsfor her school's outdoor

learning space, which wasdamaged during HurricaneSandy. Carcich is honoredas a Teacher Who Rocks forher ongoing dedication tosustainability.

For Carcich, theannouncement came as ashock and a surprise, as shehad no idea that anyone hadnominated her for the pro-gram. The announcementwas initially supposed tocome during a morningassembly, but Carcich's

meeting ran late and shewas unable to attend. As aresult, the announcementwas made over the school'sPA system later on that day."I was completelyshocked," says Carcich. Sheexplains that, "I had no ideathat any of them did that,and to find out that 3 differ-ent people nominatedme…I was completelytaken aback."

Carcich says that afterhearing about the nomina-

tion, "I am inspired to keepdoing what I'm doing." Shenotes that her method ofteaching is different fromthat of other teachers. "I tryto make as little of animpact as possible on theplanet," and teaches her stu-dents to do the same. "It'simportant for people tounderstand sustainability."

the course of weeks or months, and leavestudents with a more meaningful impres-sion of the work they have been creating, aseverything is tied in at the end. The goal isto give an object many lives before it is dis-carded.

For example, Carcich explains, the stu-dents learned about American glass sculptorDale Chihuly while learning about the 50

states. Not only did they study his glass art-work, but they also repurposed plastic bot-tles to make artwork similar to Chihuly's. Inyet another project, Carcich's students madea tree of toilet paper rolls, disassembledthem for a math project, then used them forMother's Day. Aside from sustainability,Carcich promotes advocacy, and teaches herstudents how to advocate for something thatthey truly believe in.

While cataracts commonlyoccur among older indi-viduals, many may not be

aware that they are suffering anysymptoms because cataracts developslowly and painlessly. As the eyelenses become progressively moreclouded, cataract sufferers experienceblurred vision, which makes objectsappear as though they are beingviewed through a cloudy piece ofglass. Viewed objects may also ap-pear to have a yellowish tint. Al-though both eyes are generallyaffected, one is usually worse thanthe other. Bright, glare-free lightingmay help significantly improve blur-riness. However, when things get toa point where cataracts interfere withwork and leisure activities, cataract

surgery which involves removing thecloudy lens and replacing it with anartificial one is the best option.While people can have an age-relatedcataract in their 40s and 50s, mostcataracts which occur during middleage do not affect vision.

In order to diagnose cataracts,your eye doctor will give you a com-prehensive eye exam to test how wellyou can see. Your doctor will also di-late your pupil in the interest of ex-amining the condition of the lens andother parts of the eye. J.C. Reiss Op-tician is located at 25 South Street indowntown Morristown. We are openweekdays 10 to 6, Thursdays, 10 to7, and Saturdays, 10 to 4. To schedulean appointment for an eye exam,please call 973-538-5287.

Once again, the Morristown KiwanisClub continued its long tradition ofsponsoring a float in the St.

Patrick’s Day Parade in Morristown, NJ onMarch 15th. And once again, thanks toMorristown Lumber, a flatbed truck wasused to create the float. The project beganabout 4:30 Friday evening, March 14th, inthe big garage at Morristown Lumber wherethe float was constructed by the followingclub members: Steve McKinley, ArtieAyres, John Hunt, President Don Malehorn,Steve Deering, Paul Freeland, WayneWalters, Charlie Bensley, Jim Galbraith, Jr.,and Art Klein. Steve and Artie Ayres werethe lead builders, and everyone else pitchedin to assist. Some of the decorative toucheswere completed by three Morristown HighSchool Key Club members who alsohelped: Marina Piccolo, JacquelineClemens, and Madyson Cullim. The floatwas completed by 8:30.

Early Saturday morning, the float wasdriven over to the parade assembly areabehind Town Hall in Morristown, where thefinishing touches were completed by SteveMcKinley, Artie Ayres, and Don Malehorn.Steve drove the float in the parade and wasaccompanied by six girls from theMorristown High School Key Club, whowalked alongside and handed out hardcandy to young children along the paraderoute. The six Key Club volunteers were:Sarah Chelo, Emily McLaughlin, KateMcGrath, Emma Zawaki, Karen Beltran,and Mirka Molina.

Following the conclusion of the parade,the float was taken back to MorristownLumber and dismantled by Steve McKinley,Artie Ayres, Steve Deering, and DonMalehorn. A fun time was had by all, andthe Morristown Kiwanis Club is proud tohave provided the float for this year’sparade.

Donald B. Rossoff,the spiritual leaderof Temple B'nai Or

in Morristown since 1990,will lead a thought-provok-ing two-part series on“Jewish Views of theAfterlife” for Our JewishWorld, chaired by EllenNesson and MelanieLevitan, both ofMorristown.

Rabbi Rossoff's classes,which are free of charge andopen to the public, will beheld at noon onWednesdays, May 7 and 14,at noon, at the MorrisCounty Library, 30 E.Hanover Ave. (across fromthe FrelinghuysenArboretum), in Whippany.

"Do Jews believe in lifeafter death? Do we holdconcepts such as the immor-tality of the soul, resurrec-

tion, eternal damnation,reincarnation, and/or theimmortality of influence?Do Jews think that when wedie, we reunite with lovedones?" Rabbi Rossoff asks."The answer is this: MostJews have and many stilldo." He points out thatJewish beliefs and specula-tions about the unanswer-able question of what hap-pens to us after we finishour earthly course are richand varied.

Says the rabbi, "In thesetwo sessions, we will sam-ple many different Jewishviews from the HebrewBible, the intertestamentalliterature, rabbinic writings,medieval philosophy, mysti-cal concepts, modern viewsand contemporary specula-tions. Perhaps in learningmore of what Jewish theolo-

gy offers, you might findnew ways to affirm some-thingness rather than noth-ingness--ways which youmight not have thoughtwere Jewish. Perhaps youmay discover something ofgreat interest. Perhaps youmay find some comfort."

With the summer right around thecorner, it is time to make thosevacation plans for you and your

pets. But where should you board your cats?For most people, there are two choices: ananimal hospital or a boarding facility. Theanimal hospital option is best if your cat is illor you are in fear of a medical situation. Yourvet can give insulin shots and fluids under theskin, can watch for diabetic shock, and cantreat other serious conditions a boarding facil-ity cannot. An animal hospital is equipped tohandle more serious medical problems andhas technicians watching your pet. Many ofthe cat-only facilities in Northern New Jerseydo not give insulin shots and do not have vetson staff who can monitor serious health prob-lems.

But if your cat only needs pills or otheroral medications for a non-life-threatening ill-ness, most boarding facilities can accommo-date your cat’s needs. If your cat gets nervousaround dogs and loud spaces, the best choicewould be a cats-only boarding facility. Theadvantages of a cats-only facility are: (1) Nobarking dogs to stress out the cats. (2) Veryquiet surroundings with one staff membercleaning up at a time. (3) One-on-one atten-tion to calm a nervous cat, (4) Exercise tokeep them entertained, and (5) No cages!

You might be surprised that some animal

hospitals actually recommend a cats-onlyfacility over their facilities. For example, theLivingston Animal Hospital and HodesVeterinary Group both recommended the CatChalet to someone who had a timid cat thatthey wanted to board when they went awayon business for a month. Both places felt thatthe Cat Chalet’s quiet, stress-free environ-ment would be better for this cat than theirown boarding facilities. The client was verysurprised that two animal hospitals wouldrecommend the Cat Chalet since they bothboard cats, but both knew that the Cat Chaletwould take the time to work with the cat tomake sure he eats and comes out of his condoto interact with the staff for his extended stay.The client was even happier that during themonths of January, February, and March theCat Chalet has reduced rates for monthlyboarding.

If you would like to see how the CatChalet, located in Randolph, New Jersey, onRoute 10, can make a difference in your cat’slife, call ahead for a reservation, (973) 989-6160, and visit the website,www.catchalet.com for photos and moreinformation. To schedule a tour, call (973)989-6160. The Cat Chalet is open fromMonday–Friday, from 9–noon and 3–6 p.m.,on Saturday, 9–noon, and Sunday for arrivalsand departures from 9–10 a.m.

Fr. Carty references aphrase from a favoritewriter, Frederick Buechner,to highlight his hopes forthe congregants and futureworshippers at St. Mark’s.“’The place where we’recalled is where our deepgladness and God’s need inthe world intersect,’ quotedFr. Carty. “I look forward toexploring where is St.Mark’s deep gladness, whatare the needs of the commu-

nity, and where can wemake the greatest differencein each other’s lives.”

Anew rector arrivesat St. Mark’sEpiscopal Church

just in time for Holy Week.After a national search, thevestry of St. Mark’sannounces the appointmentof the Rev. Shawn Carty,former rector of EmmanuelEpiscopal Church in Hailey,ID. Fr. Carty will first leadthe congregation on PalmSunday, April 13.

“St. Mark’s is a welcom-ing, hospitable parish that isready for a new chapter, andI’m in that position, too,”said Fr. Carty, eager toreturn to Morris Countyafter earning in 1996 hisMaster of Divinity degreefrom Drew University.

The search committee atSt. Mark’s conducted ayear-long search to identifythe new rector, believingthat Fr. Carty’s varied expe-riences, outgoing personali-ty, ease with serving con-gregants of all ages andspiritual leadership willsupport him in leading the

church.“Every church is called

to reach out to its communi-ty and I’m interested inexploring that with the peo-ple of St. Mark’s,” said Fr.Carty.

Fr. Carty comes to St.Mark’s after nine years asrector of EmmanuelEpiscopal. He previouslyserved as deacon at St.Michael and All AngelsEpiscopal Church inIssaquah, WA and postulantfor the priesthood at St.Margaret’s EpiscopalChurch in Bellevue, WA.Before that, Fr. Carty servedas pastor in the UnitedMethodist Church. In time,he felt “pulled” into theEpiscopal Church.

“I found myself drawninto the Episcopal Churchmostly though its worshipand liturgy. ‘The Book ofCommon Prayer’ is a gem,”said Fr. Carty. My ecumeni-cal journey makes meappreciate that we all don’ttake the same path. I am

looking forward to connect-ing with other religiousleaders and communitieshere.”

St. Mark’s Church islocated in the center of thehistoric district ofMendham, and its sanctuaryfeatures Carpenter-Gothicstyle architecture typical ofthe nineteenth century.With congregants of allages, members of St. Mark’sChurch School are oftenactive participants inSunday services. In 2013, aRodgers organ donated byIngrid Williams ofMendham was installed anddedicated. St. Mark’sPreschool also utilizes theadjacent Parish Hall andclassrooms.

The congregants at St.Mark’s look forward to wel-coming Fr. Carty and hisfamily on April 13, andencourage others from thecommunity to join in cele-brating his arrival.Sunday’s Holy Eucharistservice is at 10 a.m.

The National Council of JewishWomen (NCJW), West MorrisSection, and the Sisterhood/Women's

Network of Temple B'nai Or will cosponsora fascinating presentation on the nonprofitorganization Eliminate Poverty Now, onWednesday, April 23, at 7:30 p.m. at TempleB'nai Or, 60 Overlook Road, in Morristown.The program is free and open to the public.

Eliminate Poverty Now was founded in2010 by John and Judy Craig of Mendham,with the goal of creating economic opportu-nity for the extreme poor in Africa, espe-cially women.

The "extreme poor" is not just a descrip-tive term. The precise definition is peoplewho live on less than $1 per day. Sadly, over1 billion people fall into that category, andAfrica is home to the largest percentage ofthem. Eliminate Poverty Now empowersthese people by providing knowledge andopportunity to help them lift themselves outof extreme poverty. "Most of our work is inrural areas because that's where most of theextreme poor live. And most of it is agricul-tural because that's the principal activity inthe countryside," John Craig says.

The Craigs will highlight the workthey're doing in Niger, the poorest country

on earth. Most of the country lies in theSahara Desert. Eighty percent of its 15 mil-lion people farm rain-fed crops for their sur-vival. In such arid conditions, and withdrought now occurring in two years out ofevery five, they are at constant risk of star-vation.

"Our main project there is to introducemodern agricultural practices using irriga-tion as the foundation," John Craig notes."We partner with a world-famous Israeliagricultural scientist, one of the team thatdeveloped drip irrigation technology tomake the Negev bloom."

Judy Craig adds, "Our work also focuseson empowering women economically.When women earn income, the entire soci-ety benefits: HIV/AIDS rates go down,maternal and infant mortality goes down,domestic abuse goes down, gross domesticproduct goes up, and birthrate goes down."

The National Council of Jewish Women(NCJW) is a grassroots organization of vol-unteers and advocates who turn progressiveideals into action. Inspired by Jewish val-ues, NCJW strives for social justice byimproving the quality of life for women,children, and families and by safeguardingindividual rights and freedoms.

By Joe WestonThis Morris County girl’s humanitari-an journey started when she was 19and resolved to change the life of one

dirt-poor child she had met in Nepal. Whatfollowed is an incredible story.

Fast forwarding to when she was only23, Maggie Doyne was raising 200 Nepalichildren who had been orphaned and dis-eased as a result of a civil war in NortheastIndia. And at that tender age, she personal-ly funded and built a home and school(made mostly from bamboo) for the villagewhere she had started her journey by help-ing that first child.

Doyne is now 27, and the organizationshe created (you may want to check out herwebsite, www.blinknow.org.) feeds morethan 350 children a day and employs over40 Nepali employees. The project is nowlocally self-sustained. It includes a medicalneeds program and a local women's sup-port/training program.

Doyne confirmed just on March 19 thatshe is in the process of building a highschool there that is costing hundreds ofthousands of dollars.

This past February, Doyne was honoredby the nonprofit group Wisdom in Actionwith

The Unsung Heroes of CompassionAward, presented by The Dalai Lama.

Although it is nice to be recognized,Doyne will tell you her real reward is beingwith her kids that live and study at TheChildren’s Home and School of KopilaValley, Nepal.

The beautiful Himalayan Village isMaggie Doyne’s home, “my little slice ofheaven, my little paradise.”

A successful spin-off program resultingfrom Doyne’s humanitarianism is theMorristown-based Kopila Fellow Program.It was started to replicate what Doyne didwhen she graduated from High School—take a year off before attending college tovolunteer in a part of the world that desper-ately needs help.

Doyne spoke about the program justrecently on March 19. “Each year, we haveabout 200 applicants and we take 5 or 6 ofthem back with us to Kopila Valley, Nepal.”But this year, Doyne said, “a lot of peopleapplied who were professionals. We had allkinds of people from all walks of life.”

Doyne said “it’s awesome, because thisis exactly what we need—teachers, nurses,musicians, artists, etc. We need to have avariety of professionals to grow,” she said.

“I’m a big proponent of gap years,”Doyne said. (A gap year is when a student

waits a year after High School beforeattending the college they decided to attend,and then uses that time to travel and hope-fully volunteer.)

Doyne spoke about her supportive par-ents and the role they played in forming hermindset. “We did a lot of camping and Ilearned how to rough it. They also taught usto dream big.”

She also suggested that her journey hasnot always been smooth. “It’s not easy tolive 8,000 miles away,” she said.

Doyne acknowledges the tremendousbase of local support she has enjoyed.School children and everyone from 5 yearolds to senior citizens have been activelyinvolved from the beginning in raisingfunds for Doyne’s projects in Nepal.“Teenagers have run marathons and therehas been everything from cupcakes sales todance parties to dinners,” Doyne said.“When someone donates a back pack, theyactually can see the child (in a photo) whowears it.” Doyne also said the office spacethat her Blink Now Foundation uses inMorristown is donated, and volunteers arerecruited to work there.

Doyne’s story to change these children’slives started when she was only 19 and lit-erally owned nothing more that the person-al belongings in her back pack.

In her travels back in 2006, Doyne hadcome across refugees from NortheasternIndia, where there had been a civil war.They were living “under plastic with nowater.”

Doyne has conveyed her thoughts at thetime, which was that every child deserves ahome, a safe place to live, medical care, anda school to attend. She has said in pastinterviews that she won’t stop until everychild does.

Her decision to help began the day shelocked eyes with her first project, a 7 yearold girl named Hema. “I looked at her andsaw every piece of myself in her,” Doyneremembers. The child she had met was onlyone of 80 million in the world that wereorphaned, starving, uneducated, and forcedto work to help support their family, Doynehas said. It turned out to be a definingmoment in her Doyne’s life.

“I grew up with a trampoline in my backyard and played on the soccer field and wasgoing to my first dance at her age,” Doynehas said when revealing her thoughts. Atthat point, she had asked herself the mostimportant question, which was “Is theresomething I can do to change the life of justone child?” After making inquiries, Doyne

The Kopila Fellow Program

had found that she could enter the child,whose name was Hema, into a school foronly $7. Doyne paid the meager amount toschool the child. She followed Hema’sprogress and watched her thrive. After see-ing this, she had asked herself the nextquestion: “If I am able to do this for onechild, what about 5 or 10?”

Her desire to help had become “addic-

tive.” She found a piece of land that cost$5,000. Coincidentally, she had $5,000 inpersonal savings from babysitting and otherodd jobs back at home in the U.S. Shecalled her parents back home in the U.S.and asked them to wire it so she could buythe property. She bought the property notknowing where the next dollar was comingfrom to develop it.

So, Doyne returned to her parent’s home

to Mendham before she was even 20 yearsold to raise money for her new commitmentto the children she had met in Nepal. “I’lljust babysit again,” she recently said onMarch 19, re-telling her story. But after sheshared her dreams, the local newspapers inthe Morris County area printed it, and dona-tions started trickling in.

Her first big break occurred whenCosmopolitan magazine awarded her with a$20,000 prize for her humanitarian efforts.Doyne had an audience laughing in 2010when she described how the magazine rep-resentative explained the strings attached.“We are going to whisk you away to NYCfor a Maybelline makeover.”

Doyne told of her experience at the hairdresser salon during that same speech .“She was astounded to find I had lice in myhair.” Doyne appreciated the make over,but added “I wouldn’t let them dye my hairchocolate brown.”

The next big development for Doyne’sdream was huge—she received a grant fromDoSomething.org for $100,000 towards her

dream for building a school for her kids.“The first thing I did with the money was

take the kids for elephant rides,” sherecalled in that speech which can bewatched on her website. Then, she beganthe work of building a school for 200 kids.It was made out of locally harvested bam-boo, clay, stone, and topped with a tin roof.

Doyne told of how she had prepared forthe school’s opening by speaking to psy-chologists, who all said that the best thingyou can do for a child is to let them expressthemselves through art and acting. “So, wedid a big show on stage and everything wasnarrated by puppets.”

Doyne has used her experience to inspireothers to be the best that they can be. “Wehave talents and we have gifts. This justhappens to be mine, and I’m really lucky,”she in that 2010 speech.

Doyne had been quick to admit her “cando” attitude came from the naïveté of youth.“If we all have that attitude that we could doanything, that we could be anything; thenwe could follow the dreams in our heart.”

This year, make your Easter hameffortless by ditching the oven andusing your slow cooker instead.

While most people think about slow cook-ing for staples like chili and stew, it’s alsoperfect for center-of-the-plate feasts — likean Easter ham.

Using the slow cooker, you can mini-mize both prep time and cleanup time, leav-ing plenty of room in the day for church,hunting eggs and enjoying time with yourloved ones.

Ham is a tradition for many families thistime of year, and because it pairs well witha multitude of ingredients, you can create aunique dish every time.

For a fresh spin on the classic ham, trythis Sweet Southern Slow-Cooker Hamrecipe from the National Pork Board. Applecider and bourbon (or vanilla extract, if youprefer) combine to create a rich flavor com-plemented by the sweetness of brown sugar.

Round out your Easter menu by pairingyour ham with classic sides such as oven-roasted carrots, asparagus wrapped in baconand mashed sweet potatoes.

Morris County has undertaken anaggressive program to fill the pot-holes left behind on county-main-

tained roads by Old Man Winter.The county’s Roads, Bridges and Shade

Tree Division has six crews out in forcealong the 300 miles of county roadways,locating and filling potholes.

To assist the workers and to reduce thehazardous driving conditions potholes cre-ate for motorists, the Morris CountyFreeholders added $75,000 to the 2014 cap-ital budget for the purchase of two HotBoxes to add to the two others purchased bythe county in 2013.

A Hot Box keeps the asphalt used to filla pothole heated at the right temperature toensure a better, longer-lasting repair.Without such equipment, a pothole is filledwith asphalt from the rear of a pickup truck,with the material losing heat as it is trans-ported.

The county advises residents whoencounter a pothole on a county road toreport it via e-mail [email protected] orto call the county garage in HanoverTownship at 973-285-6763.

The county’s pothole repair campaign ispart of the Freeholder Board’s 2014 capitalbudget, which contains $775,900 more thisyear to repave county roads than it did lastyear.

The Freeholders increased county spend-ing for road repaving from the 2013 level of$1.4 million to $2.2 million. Another $3.9million will be coming from the state and$1.16 million will come from the federalgovernment.

While the Freeholders continue an over-all reduction of capital projects from previ-ous spending levels to reduce the county’sdebt, they continue to invest in infrastruc-ture maintenance and improvements.
