How To Get The Most Money For
Their Children’s College Education

N
ew Jersey parents suffering with finding
ways to pay for their children’s college
education can finally get the solutions to
Mr. Newell will their college funding problems.
Most families who earn $75,000 or more and
be conducting own a home assume they are not eligible for finan-
a free one-hour cial aid. However, most families with income over
$100,000 are actually eligible for some types of
seminar for “need based” financial aid. They simply need to
parents of know how to get their fair share.
According to Newell, there are several easy
college bound things parents can do to substantially increase the
high school amount of money they get from colleges. For
example, “There are several schools that histori-
sophomores and cally give better financial aid packages than oth-
juniors at the ers,” says Newell. “If families do proper income
and asset planning before filling out the forms,
following they can increase eligibility by thousands of dol-
location: lars.”
Newell offers a few simple tips to parents with
The Chester college funding problems. “If a parent has only
Public Library half an hour to end their college funding problems,
I would suggest the following:
on Thursday, 1. Make sure they do not over-value their home
May 15th, on the financial aid forms
2. Try not to save money in the child’s name as
at 7:00 p.m. it weighs more heavily than the parent’s savings
3. Don’t be afraid to negotiate with a college for
a better financial aid package.

Nicholas Tepfenhart
Area Scout Earns Eagle Scout Award
Nicholas Tepfenhart, was recognized
on February 9, 2008 by Troop 236 at his
Eagle Scout Court of Honor Ceremony.
Many distinguished guests from the town-
ship and county were there to present
Nicholas with congratulatory letters, cer-
tificates and plaques.
Nick’s Eagle Service Project involved
constructing a 12’ x 8’ arbor over an exist-
ing prayer garden in the front of St Mark’s
Church in Long Valley to give parishioners
a quiet, comfortable, relaxing place to pray
outside. His project entailed hours of plan-
ning, digging 3 foot holes for the posts,
constructing and staining the arbor, and
landscaping the surrounding area. For the
project, he directed 18 volunteers for a
total of over 98 hours. He passed his Eagle
Board of Review on September 18, 2007
and became Troop 236’s 34th Eagle Scout.
Nick is the first in his extended family to
earn the rank of Eagle Scout.
Nick began his scouting career 11 years
ago as a Tiger Cub in first grade. He was a
member of Pack 45 in Mine Hill where he
continued through Cub Scouts to earn the
Arrow of Light award. He bridged to
Troop 236 in Feb 2001. Since joining Boy
Scouts, Nick has received many awards
and rank advancements for his achieve-
ments, leadership, and dedication. He
served as a Den Chief, Patrol Leader,
Senior Patrol Leader, and 2 years as a
Junior Assistant Scoutmaster. He also
attended Junior Leadership Training
through the council, and earned the presti-
gious Order of the Arrow.
During his years of Scouting, Nick par-
ticipated in many troop campouts and trips
including the Chesapeake High Adventure
Sailing Experience in Virginia and 2

Five Ways You Can Survive in a BAD Real Estate Market

U
nless you live under a rock, you
have undoubtedly seen and felt the
effects of what some experts are
calling the worst housing market since The
Great Depression. Homes are sitting on the
market for months, values are dropping and
the “subprime meltdown” seems to be
making it more difficult for anyone to get a
mortgage. People are constantly asking me
when it will end or when will things get
better. Friends, family, neighbors and
clients alike are becoming victims of a
housing boom that has gone bust.
Having been involved in real estate for
most of my adult life, I would like to share
a few things I have learned on how to make
the most of the current housing market.
1. Do Nothing. Sounds silly right? If
you are happy in your home, have enough
space and can afford to pay your mortgage
and taxes, sit tight! Although your home
has probably lost some of its value, you
recover and your home will appreciate over
time. Remember, the housing market is
cyclical.
2. Get a mortgage checkup. Similar to
seeing your doctor for an annual physical,
check with a trusted mortgage advisor. If
you have an Adjustable Rate mortgage,
even if the rate is low, now may be a good
time to lock in a fixed rate. Interest rates
are at historic lows and if you plan to be in
your home long term, it could provide
financial stability.
3. It's a great time to buy. If you are a
first time homebuyer or real estate investor,
it's a buyers market. Prices are good and
rates are low. Contrary to the doom and
gloom you see in the news everyday, there
is mortgage money available even if your
credit is not perfect.
4. Consult a professional. Like so many
homeowners, if you are having trouble pay-
ing your mortgage, seek out assistance.
ing the property. If a property is priced
right, it will sell. I heard from one agent
that homes priced below market are receiv-
ing multiple bids. In turn, these properties
are selling faster and for more money.
5. Talk to your lender. If selling is not
an option, call your lender to discuss pay-
ment arrangements or loan modifications.
The worst thing you can do is NOTHING.
Your problems will not disappear, they will
multiply. By confronting the problem, you
will at least understand your options and be
able to make a proactive decision about

your future.
Of course these are just some of the
things you can do to weather the storm.
The most important thing is to stay
informed and remember that things will
turn around.

Church of the Messiah
Welcomes A New Rector
By Elsie Walker
T
he lilt in her voice
hints at her origin:
Stoke-On-Trent in
England. Yes, the Rev-
erend Margaret Otterburn,
new rector of Church of the
Messiah, has journeyed far
in her life, living in
England, Northern Ireland,
New Jersey, Minnesota,
and now back in New
Jersey. You might also say
she's traveled far in her
journey from high school
math teacher to minister.
Originally from Stoke-
On-Trent (on the river
Trent), England, Otterburn
moved to Northern Ireland,
near Belfast in 1971. She
noted those were “challeng-
ing times” in that country.
In 1987, she came to the
United States and lived in
New Jersey. She was a
high school math teacher in
Irvington.
“One of my biggest pas-
sions is working with chil-
dren and youth,” Otterburn
said. Then, she got her call-
ing.
“Oh, this goes back
about 14 years [1994],” she
begins as she tells the story
of that turning point in her
life.
She went on a retreat.
After spending a long time
in prayer, a friend invited
her to go for a walk;
Otterburn said that normal-
ly she would have loved to
go for a stroll. However,
something moved her to
seek out the retreat leader.
Although she hadn't
planned it, suddenly, she
found herself talking with
the leader about the min-
istry. Otterburn would take
another year to reflect on
her calling before pursuing
a career in ministry.
While attending Drew
University and going
through the steps to ordina-
tion, Otterburn continued to
work as a teacher.
“God has given me a lot
of energy,” she shared.
After her ordination in
2002, Otterburn served at
Grace Church in Newark.
There her passion for out-
reach meshed with her pas-
sion for working with
youth. She worked in an
after-school program for
street kids.
Otterburn's joy in help-
ing others translated into a
number of mission trip
experiences and outreach
opportunities when she
came to St. Mark's
Cathedral in Minneapolis in
2004. One mission group,
which included youth and
adults, went to a Minnesota
Indian Reservation. There,
those on the trip learned
more about Native
American life while help-
ing out in an economically
depressed area. Another
group traveled to Atlanta,
Georgia, helping out those
in need in a number of
ways: by working in a soup
kitchen, delivering meal-
on-wheels, and more.
There were habitat for
humanity days and other
experiences to help those
less fortunate. The church
opened a “drop-in” center
for the homeless. While
homeless shelters provide
warmth and a bed at night,
they do not have the staff to
be open during the day.
This puts the homeless on
the streets. The drop-in
center provided a place
where the homeless could
come in and get warm dur-
ing the day.
A few months ago,
Otterburn found herself
taking a new position, that
of the rector of the Church
of the Messiah in Chester.
“I love my family. One
of my joys in coming back
to New Jersey is being near
to my three kids,” she said.
Otterburn has three chil-
dren, three grandchildren,
and one grandchild on the
way.
In coming to the Church
of the Messiah, Otterburn
brings with her an energy
and passion which translate
into a number of new
opportunities at the church.
These include a monthly
Taize service, new Bible
studies and a sewing and
knitting Group. Held the
last Sunday a month at
7pm, the Taize service is a
candlelit time of quiet
mediation, reflection,
prayer. It is a time to just
“let go”. There are week-
day Bible Studies, an
inquirer's class and a
sewing and knitting group
which meets twice a week.
Also, Otterburn is put-
ting together the church's
first mission trip, which
will include youth and
adults.
“It is a life-changing
experience,” said Otterburn
of such trips.
In addition to her church
work, Otterburn's interests
include knitting, taking
walks with her husband,
hiking and gardening.

Chester Fifty Plus Club President Nichols Moves to NC
C
hester Fifty Plus Club’s President
Lois Nichols has moved to North
Carolina. Because all of her fami-
ly had previously moved there, she finally
gave in to the family pressure and made
the move. She now enjoys seeing her
grandchildren much more frequently.
Lois grew up in the Vailsburg section of
Newark. She graduated from Columbia
High School in South Orange. Before
moving to Chester in 1981, she lived in
Roxbury where, for many years, she
served as the Recreation Director.
During the 1980’s, Lois worked for the
Boro of Chester in the Finance Office. She
also served on the Boro’s Recreation
Committee. She was a member of the
committee which established the housing
complex for seniors in Chester. Today it is
the Chester Area Senior Housing’s Robert
Cole Apartments.
It was in 1991 that Lois joined the Fifty
Plus Club. There were about 40 members

at that time.
In November 1991, Irv Tredway
became the President of the Club and Lois
was selected as Vice President. In those
early years, she and Irv handled all matters
of the club. They planned programs for
the twice monthly meetings and arranged
for all the bus trips that were sponsored by
the club. Today it is said that the Chester
Fifty Plus Club has the best trip schedule
for seniors in all of Morris County.
It was in the late 1990’s that Lois real-
ized that the club was too big for just two
persons to manage. There were nearly 100
members and the number of bus trips had
also increased. It became obvious that
club responsibilities had to be shared by
the membership. A Constitution and By-
laws were adopted. Committees were
appointed to assist in running the growing
club. This is when more members began
sharing various responsibilities.
Lois is proud of the Fifty Plus Club and
ing items will NOT be accepted: dirty,
modly, or badly worn items. NO text-
books, encylopedias, out-of-date books,
fiction over 4 years old, condensed books
(like Readers Digest), or yellowed books.

Renew & Restore Your Kitchen Cabinets & Hardwood Floors -
No Dust, No Mess, No...In Just 24 Hours!
If you have ever refinished your wood floors before,
you know that the process is time-consuming and incon-
venient. You may have heard of the highly toxic finishes
that force you out of your home and into a hotel or motel
for several days. If you have allergies or are prone to sick-
ness, this can be a dangerous proposition. Unfortunately,
the traditional refinishing process requires sanding, creat-
ing a messy, fine dust which accumulates throughout your
house on your walls, carpet, ceilings, and insider you
drawers and cupboards. You may use an expensive tent-
ing process to keep most of the debris in one room, but
there is a mess nevertheless.
Now, thanks to the technology of N'Hance, homeown-
ers can call on a new process which eliminates toxic
smells and harmful dust allowing homeowners to return to
their floors within a matter or hours. No longer do you
need to leave your windows open and wait to return to
your home. This process allows for refinishing in any
type of weather. When you refinish your wood floors,
Tell Them You Saw It In The Black River News • April 2008 • Page 15
consider refinishing doors and cabinets as well ass wood
moldings throughout your house. Refinish and restore
your wood to a sparkling newness and have the satisfac-
tion of knowing you are prolonging the life of your wood
investment. If you care for your floors and cabinets prop-
erly, you can make them last a lifetime. This new way of
caring for your floors allows for wall to wall beauty with-
out the hassles of sanding, staining and finishing. For
maintenance of your wood floors, additional finish coats
should be applied every two to four years, as needed. Do
not allow your floors to completely lose their shine and
finish as this wears the actual wood down. To avoid dis-
rupting your household, check out the N'Hance process
which takes little time and no mess.
Perhaps you're considering an update for your kitchen
cabinets. The N'Hance process is the perfect solution to
renewing and restoring the look of your tired, worn, dull
and dingy cabinets. N'Hance will restore the life and lus-
ter of your existing wood cabinets for a fraction of the cost
of refacing or replacing and in a fraction of the time. A
recent N'Hance customer was quoted as saying “I'm
amazed at how good the cabinets look; it's as if the clock
was turned back 30 years.” Additionally, N'Hance offers
a unique color change process that can transform the color
of kitchen cabinets in just days. Go from a natural maple
to cherry or from golden oak to espresso. The possibili-
ties are endless. Whatever your preference, N'Hance has
the solutions for your wood floors, kitchen cabinets as
well as any other wood surfaces in your home including
doors, trim and windows.
To rejuvenate your floors and give new life to your cab-
inets, doors and woodwork, call the experts in the dust-
free, fast drying renewal system at N'Hance. Your home
and all its wood products can look like new. To schedule
a free estimate in Bergen County call (201) 265-WOOD
(9663); Morris County call (973) 252- WOOD (9663);
and Essex County call (973) 661-WOOD (9663).

describe exactly how West Morris
Central High School varsity baseball
coach Dan Wydner feels about his team
this spring it would be optimistic.
Rest assured, this isn’t some sort of
blind optimism that is not supported by the
level of talent that Wydner will put onto
the field this season. Because when you
look at the lineup that the Wolf Pack will
bring forth, it’s easy to see the reasons for

It’s Springtime.....
By Harlin Parker
I
t’s springtime. The noise of winter has
become stale. In spring we find fresh
air and renewed energy. We can re-
examine where we are and how we’ve
been doing. We’ll need a bunch of spring-
time energy as we try to make our way in
a very unnerving economic environment
that affects us all in a variety of ways.
On the national front, it seems that the
masters of the universe have gone into cir-
cuit overload and have demanded that the
government bail them out. Funny how
those radical free-enterprisers constantly
deride government as “the problem,” as
Ronald Reagan liked to say. I guess gov-
ernment is the problem until government
is “the solution.” In the Bear Sterns fiasco
alone, tens of billions of taxpayer dollars
were provided in just hours to bail out the
holders of what? Bonds? Derivatives?
Who knows? The kinds of financial
instruments we’re talking about didn’t
even exist a decade or so ago. And for
good reason. Nobody has a clear under-
standing of exactly what these things are
except that they are held by, and are for
the benefit of, the very wealthiest people
in the country and in the world. And these
people now turn to the American taxpay-
ers for a hand out. Well, so much for the
market correcting itself and so much for
the government being “the problem.”
As for New Jersey, the current eco-
nomic and housing downturn is hitting
home, if I may put it that way. It appears
that we are all finally realizing that for far
too long, our governing bodies, state,
county, and municipal, have fallen short in
proper budgeting, including failing to
raise and put away money for future obli-
gations and by borrowing, borrowing,
borrowing. Governor Corzine is ruffling
more than a few feathers as he takes a firm
stand against business as usual in Trenton
and across New Jersey. He has made it
clear that New Jersey must fundamentally
re-examine how the state is structured and
how it conducts its business. We need to
bring the total costs of government down.
To do so, a major issue, one that he fortu-
nately has in his sights, is New Jersey’s
over abundance of municipalities and
school districts.
For decades, many straight talking aca-
demics, civic leaders and, yes, politicians,
have argued for a rational and appropriate
paring down of both municipalities and
school districts to a reasonable and work-
able, and affordable, number. We know
that accomplishing this will take time and
effort. It won’t be easy. That too oft
heard cry of “home rule!” will be heard
from Cape May to High Point. Don’t be
fooled. “Home rule” has been a cruel joke
perpetrated on the good people of New
Jersey. It is time to bring a modern day,
rational structure of government to this
state. But what about small town charm?
Small town community? Don’t panic. We
can still have the small town charm and
close knit community feeling. That’s cer-
tainly something I cherish. We just have
to do this correctly. And we can. We need
to support Governor Corzine’s efforts to
restructure the municipalities and other
parts of government in an intelligent and
rational manner.
Here in Washington Township, at 45
square miles, we are the largest munici-
pality in Morris County, but that has not
insulated us from the effects of New
Jersey’s outdated, obsolete, costly struc-
ture of municipal government. This year,
our town has had to brace itself for a very
lean year of greatly reduced services as
municipal costs have gone up, as they
habitually do every year. Issues of the
past that were neglected must now be
addressed, particularly pension contribu-
tions (this year alone over $300,000). I’ll
admit that it was refreshing, even though
disconcerting, to hear Mayor Tobin admit
that earlier township committees (all
Republican), when approving the expen-
diture of over a million dollars (borrowed
money) for soccer and other recreation
fields, failed to appropriately anticipate
and plan for the significant annual costs of
maintaining those fields. Those costs are
raised through, you guessed it, property
taxes.
Fortunately, the current township com-
mittee has been prodded into holding
down increases to our highest-in-the-
nation property tax to a bare minimum
even as state aid will be less this year than
it was last year. But let’s not fool our-
selves here, ok? This is, and will contin-
ue to be, a struggle year to year. We need
to take a look at government (all levels)
and make decisions on how best to pro-
vide the services we need and want from
government in the most rational, demo-
cratic, manageable, responsible, and
affordable manner possible. Or do you
prefer to spend more and more each year
for less and less?

What’s Going On At
West Morris Central H.S.?
By Thomas Lotito
H
ave you heard what's going on at
West Morris Central High
School's school expansion con-
struction project?
What if you hired a contractor to put an
addition on your home and it came in two
years late, without the features you paid
for, and millions of dollars over budget?
You would be suing for fraud, right? That
is exactly what has happened at West
Morris Central High School. In presenta-
tions in 2003 and a referendum approved
on March 9, 2004 by the voters, the
WMRHS Board of Education told
Washington Township voters they would
receive a dramatic and impressive geodes-
ic dome gymnasium, a rare asset to a
school in New Jersey and a selling point to
our town for potential home buyers.
We were told we would get a dedicated
freshman wing, where new high school
students would have all of their subject
classes in a separate setting as they eased
into the high school experience. We were
told the cost for this to Washington
Township taxpayers, after a rapid bidding
process, that the construction would take
as little as 12 months. The referendum was
particularly attractive to middle school
parents and the parents of high school
freshmen and sophomores, whose children
would benefit from these new features in
just a few years. It is now more than four
years later and we are now told, hopefully,
that the school additions will be ready in
time for the 2008-2009 school year. There
is no geodesic dome -- apparently it was
really not feasible from the beginning due
to a lack of qualified contractors (yea-
right). The freshman peninsula wing is
gone, thrown off the bus as the project spi-
raled up in costs. Voters were forced to
fork over another $2 million dollars -- for
a lot less school than they signed up for
originally. The architect that helped sell
the school to our town has been fired by
the Board of Education.
Perhaps one of the problems with our
high school board of education is that there
is literally no voter scrutiny or contested
races. Local political historians can not
remember a contested race in a decade or
more. Of the five Washington Township
BOE members on the day when the refer-
endum passed way back in 2004, three are
already gone. Only two remain, one BOE
member from 2004, Jeff Emory is up for
re-election on April 15.
Rather than focusing on these many
problems, the BOE has a "subcommittee"
that appears to be focused on political
campaigning !!
I wrote a letter to the editor on the
above construction problems and it was
published in the Observer-Tribune on
March 20th, 2008. In an effort control the
political damage and get reelected Jeff
Emory, and subcommittee, Meg Berlin and
Jim Johnston responded with the follow-
ing statement ,"Recently a letter to the edi-
tor published by the Observer-Tribune
contained numerous erroneous statements
about the progress of the construction proj-
ects under way". In Berlin, Johnston and
Emory's letter they failed to correct or
even cite a single statement that I made
about the WM Central HS construction
problems.
The freshman wing cited is no longer a
dedicated and dramatic peninsula wing in
the front of the school, but is now merely
a designated area within the main structure
behind the school. At first the committee's
letter denied that the construction project
was off schedule. And then it went on to
make excuses for why the project was
delayed. The letter further stated that it
was no one individual's fault-- a clear
political defense of Jeff Emory.
Meg Berlin, Jim Johnston and Jeff
Emory's defense letter is a clear and will-
ful violation of the School Ethics conflict
of interest law N.J.S.A. 18A:12-24(c) :
"No school official shall act in his official
capacity in any matter where he or a mem-
ber of his immediate family has a personal
involvement. A "subcommittee" has no
standing to communicate to the public
whatsoever.
Other ethics issues include, board
members expressly identifying themselves
as speaking for the board without board
approval. Everyone is entitled to an opin-
ion, but they can't say it is the board's opin-
ion when it is merely two other people on
a subcommittee with no official standing.
The subject of the letter was not on the
BOE agenda for the Monday, March 25
WMRHS BOE meeting, was not noted in
correspondence or New Business, and was
not discussed at all.
The bottom line here is we didn't get
what we voted for, and changing the plans
of the original design for the WMCHS has
cost us millions more than we expected.
The delay has interrupted the students
normal learning environment. Meg,
Berlin, Jim Johnston and Jeff Emory have
played politics when confronted with their
obvious lack of ability to bring this project

in on time and in budget.
When the WMRHS BOE tried to keep
the WMCHS open on Good Friday in
order to make the necessary 180 days man-
dated by the State of N.J. they failed to
properly communicate this to the parents
and the churches, causing consternation
amongst the Christian community. Only
when one of the parents pointed out to the
board that keeping the school open on
Good Friday would bring the tally of days
the school was open to 181, did the school
board have an out, and closed the school
on Good Friday. How could such an error
have been made? How could we trust the

when they can't keep track of the school
days and create unnecessary problems for
the community?
