Footes Pond

MORRIS COUNTY — An 11-acre surplus parcel from the Loyola House of Retreats is being permanently preserved as an addition to Morristown’s Foote’s Pond Park, it was jointly announced today by the Trust for Public Land, Morris County, the state Green Acres Program, and Morristown.

This acquisition will nearly double the size of the popular park and, with the planned enhancement of the trail system, should add to the attraction of this open space, located just a mile from the bustle of the Morristown Green.

The Morris County Preservation Trust, New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection’s Green Acres Program, and Morristown all contributed to the $2.1 million purchase. Morristown will own and manage the property.

“We are excited to have helped preserve another great resource for the community in Morristown,” said Greg Socha, Senior Project Manager for The Trust for Public Land.

The Loyola property has been a priority for conservation for many years. It was highlighted as a preservation opportunity in the town’s 2011 Open Space Plan.

In addition to its enhancement of Foote’s Pond Park, the tract – which is located in the headwaters of the Great Swamp watershed — also is an important element in local watershed protection.

Preventing future development at this location will eliminate potential impacts to an already stressed watershed, and the open space will offer important groundwater recharge.

Freeholder Christine Myers

“The high quality of life in Morris County is directly connected to the preservation of open space, as well as farmland and historic properties, financed by residents of Morristown and the entire county through funding specially dedicated for these purposes,’’ said Morris County Freeholder Christine Myers.

“Open spaces in Morristown and across the county are used to create parks, connect trails, offer recreational opportunities for our residents, help our environment, and ensure that we have green spaces in each of our towns as places to think or breathe,’’ Myers added.

Foote’s Pond Park is a popular spot for local wildlife observers, birders and photographers. Currently, the property is open to the public and can be accessed at the trailhead off James Street, near the Thomas Jefferson School.

The Trust for Public Land creates parks and protects land for people, ensuring healthy, livable communities. To learn more about The Trust for Public Land, visit www.tpl.org.

MOUNTAIN LAKES – Winter storms bring heavy snow making it hard to almost impossible to quickly identify and use fire hydrants in an emergency.

National Studies show that important minutes are lost when firefighters need to shovel out a hydrant for water supply to fight fires. Firefighters can waste up to ten minutes finding and accessing an obstructed hydrant, once they arrive on scene.

The Volunteer men and women of the Mountain Lakes Fire Department, your neighbors, do their best to clear hydrants in town. However, with over 230 hydrants it takes days to finish the task.

Mountain Lakes Fire Department is asking the residents and businesses to help keep hydrants clear in order to provide the emergency services everyone wants.

Responsibilities of adopting a hydrant

Keep 3-foot clearance on all sides of the hydrant
Report damaged hydrants
Keep free of brush and leaf piles

You Can Adopt a Hydrant by clicking here or by clicking here.

Dentist Talks About Cosmetic Dentistry Solutions

MOUNTAIN LAKES – An exposition of cosmetic dentistry is given by Dr. Edward Shluper, a respected dentist from Mountain Lakes, revealing its role in the correction of teeth which are broken, cracked, spaced or even discolored. It can give an overhaul of a person’s smile, boost his or her confidence and enhance their general well being.

Dr. Edward Shluper, was recently interviewed by Doctor Relations about the benefits of cosmetic dentistry. He discussed the numerous benefits to correcting problematic teeth. No matter what condition they are in, there are cosmetic techniques that solve the issue. Chipped, cracked, misshapen, and discolored teeth can be fixed with current dental technology and proven cosmetic methods.

To get more info about the available procedures in cosmetic dentistry, click here.

A 2015 study conducted by Kelton Global on behalf of the American Academy of Cosmetic Dentistry showed an observation shared by 48% of the adults in America, who consider the most striking attribute of a person they meet for the first time to be their smile. The study also showed that 37% of the respondents considered people who had crooked teeth or stained ones as less attractive and 25% thought they were not as confident as those who had perfect teeth. Similar studies showed that some qualified candidates can lose an opportunity to get a job or promotion due to bad teeth.

The power of a good smile was explained by Dr. Shluper who said, “There is a lot that a smile has the ability to do. With just a smile, you can light up another person’s day and cause them to smile back to you. It is a fact that smiling has great health advantages, adding 7 years to a person’s life because of the improvement it brings to the immune system.”

Many who have dental issues, such as chipped, cracked or unevenly spaced teeth, are aware that they want an improvement in how their teeth look. Some of them have attempted to use braces to correct the problem. Others have tried to use home remedies as a way of making their teeth white again. These methods could be dangerous, but cosmetic dentistry can correct these issues without much of a problem.

One of the three common procedures carried out in cosmetic dentistry include bleaching, which makes teeth white again. The other one is bonding which repairs teeth that are cracked, chipped or have irregular spaces. The third one uses laminate veneers to do the same work that bonding does but offers a longer lasting solution. Through these, a person gets a complete makeover of their smile.

“It is not unrealistic to want a bright and attractive smile anymore, and you can have it even if your teeth are in a questionable state. Cosmetic dentistry can eliminate the worry about poor first impressions during an interview or a social gathering,” said Dr. Shluper.

“The best dentist I’ve ever been to,” exclaimed Edgar J. “His number 1 priority is making you feel comfortable, welcome and pain free. Dr. Shluper meticulously does his job. The wait time is minimal. I won’t go anywhere else.”

Dr. Shluper is qualified in several areas of dentistry, including orthodontics, endodontics, prosthetics and cosmetic dentistry. Each year, he spends over 80 hours in continuing education to keep his skills updated. He is also very keen about community based activities that he conducts, such as food drives and free dental care days. As a result, Dr. Edward Shluper has been featured on National media houses, such as FOX, CBS, ABC and NBC.

Bucco bill increasing school bus safety moves to governor’s desk

MORRIS COUNTY — The Assembly advanced legislation to improve school bus safety by requiring school district transportation supervisors to complete a training program. Assemblyman Anthony M. Bucco sponsored the bill (A2436) following a rash of school bus crashes, including a fatal wreck involving a Paramus school district bus.

Assemblyman Anthony M. Bucco

“Creating a culture of school-bus safety begins with supervisors at the top,” said Bucco (R-Morris). “Recent accidents raise serious concerns about the supervision of the drivers entrusted with the lives of our children. Well-trained managers will ensure their drivers are dedicated to obeying the rules and protecting their young passengers.”

New hires and those with less than 11 years’ experience are required to complete the 138-hour Rutgers transportation rules and best practices course.

The Assembly passed Bucco’s bill in June, and voted today to adopt Senate amendments that set deadlines for course completion. The legislation now goes to the governor for his consideration.
