Mt. Olive Welcomes Its New Business Administrator: Sean Canning

sition moving from Lincoln Park to Mt Olive. Its very similar. Management is crucial especially in Business Administration, the job is the same except for the names and faces and some small problems that change from town to town. Everywhere in New Jersey, Towns are facing the same problems as us, from budget issues to efficiencies with its citizens. Canning looks forward to conversing with residents and using his experience in both law enforcement and business administration to make the right decisions and bring new ideas to the table for his upcoming term. Canning has made himself accessible to any and all residents with questions, ideas and concerns for the township. One thing I do pride myself on is personnel management, says Canning, Im into a lot of motivational leadership and have a customer oriented workforce. At the end of the day our residents are customers and Im going to make sure that everyone in the township gets 102 percent out of their tax dollars. My office is always open and I am open to all ideas and suggestions. It has been a long road for Sean Canning as he has been all over New Jersey excelling in different projects and occupations. He first began as a police officer then rose through the ranks and became a patrol sergeant, then eventually chief of police in Lincoln Park. He then moved into the political arena and became the Business Administrator for Lincoln Park before end-
By Steve Urena s Mt Olive Township moves into 2012, new changes lie ahead for its government and its community. One of the new changes brings former Lincoln Park Business Administrator, Sean Canning into the mix as Mt Olives new Business Administrator. Canning will be in charge of day to day operations in Mt Olive Township and will serve as a liaison to the businesses and residents of Mt. Olive. Canning describes the tran-
ing up in Mt Olive. Canning shares what led him to make the jump: As my professional growth evolved I was able to help the residents of Lincoln Park by cutting costs without layoff. I saw an opening here in Mt Olive and wanted to move to a larger township. I did some research and saw a very attractive opportunity in coming to Mt Olive. I am very proud of how I left Lincoln Park as I left it in very good shape and I look forward to the new challenges ahead. We welcome Sean Canning to the Mt Olive area and wish him the best of luck in all of his future endeavors.

Mental Health Association of Morris County To Increase Awareness
By Cheryl Conway he Mental Health Association of Morris County wants to increase awareness in the community about who they are, what they do and the services they provide. A big part of its mission is to reduce the stigma associated with mental illness. "Often people have a negative viewpoint of those with mental illnesses," says Louis A. Schwarcz, president and CEO of MHAMC. "People of mental illnesses can live in society and have a normal life. They don't have to live in jails or shelters. We want to create an environment where people are supportive of mental illness." Founded in 1953, the MHAMC is a 501C3 non-profit organization that works to promote mental health awareness, prevent mental illnesses, and improve the care and treatment of people in recovery from mental illnesses through programs of education, direct service, and advocacy. Some of the current services include information and referral, homeless outreach, supportive housing, consumer empowerment, peer to peer support line, and disaster response. All services are funded through state, county and federal dollars as well as fundraising events. Through nearly a dozen programs, Schwarcz says MHAMC helps approximately 4,000 people per year in Morris County who have a mental illness or other problems. With more state dollars recently approved, Schwarcz says the program is now being expanded to help people discharged from Greystone Park Psychiatric Hospital in Morris Plains to provide them with support for housing and services so they can "stay well in the community." "When a person is sitting in a psychiatric hospital, feeling lonely, dejected and hopeless, it is the MHAMC staff that approach them with a hopeful message," says Schwarcz in a recent newsletter. "It is the
MHAMC worker that tells them that they need not despair, that they can have their self-esteem and their standing in society by leaving the hospital and moving into their own community apartment." The MHAMC recently hosted a Thanksgiving Dinner on Nov. 19, from 1 to 4 p.m. at the Community Church of Mountain Lakes. More than 100 people that included mental health consumers (any individual who consumes mental health services), Consumer Advocacy Program (CAP), Social Club and other agency programs enjoyed turkey, green bean casserole, stuffing, gravy, rolls, mashed potatoes, cranberry sauce, and pies. "The Thanksgiving Dinner was both the Social Club program and Consumer Advocacy Program," says Christa Simons, MHAMC director of Education and Advocacy. "It's a combined event each year. Individuals from the Social Club are also mental health consumers who come from all areas with the main goal of increasing socialization. "Mental illness can be very isolating so this program helps them connect with other individuals who have mental illness and socialize within their community," says Simons. On Dec. 8, MHAMC was the leading agency joining Project Homeless Connect (PHC) at St. Peter's Episcopal Church in Morristown from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. Adults ages 18 and older were invited to attend the outreach program that has been held for the past three years. PHC - which has turned into a "national day of hope"- originated in San Francisco in 2004 to provide necessary services to the homeless in that city. Project Homeless Connect is a "one day, one-stop event" where local service providers, or businesses sponsor the homeless to share information on how to link them to housing, food, medical services, continued on page 18
Page 14, January 2012, Tell Them You Saw It In The Mt. Olive News By Cheryl Conway ne act of love from someone can start a chain reaction- it all begins in the heart- in the power of one. Lyrics by Bomshels song: The Power of One has been catchy by the students of Chester M. Stephens Elementary School not only by their mouths but their actions as well. About 25 CMS students in grades second through fifth attended the Mt. Olive School Board meeting Monday night, Nov. 28, at the Mt. Olive Middle School to sing the song with the schools second grade teachers that have been recognized nationally for its character education. The Second Grade Kindness Tour, which has been held annually through CMS for the past three years, has received a 2011 Promising Practice Award in Character Education from a nationwide character education program. To recognize their accomplishment, CMS Principal Gayle Dierks and her team of second grade teachers were presented with a banner at the recent school board meeting. A slide show highlighting the kindness tours was also shown to school board members, parents and students in attendance. You can be born to play basketball, football and any sport really, but also you can be born to be kind if you want to Its your choice, says Dr. Larrie Reynolds, Mt. Olive superintendant of schools. He says a goal of the district is to teach our children to be kind to one another. As part of the National Schools of Character program, the Character Education Partnership (CEP) recognizes
Chester M. Stephens Receives National Recognition for Character Education

annual Promising Practices by schools and districts in the United States and elsewhere that implement unique and specific strategies in character education. Selected schools and districts are honored at the annual Promising Practices ceremony at the CEP National Forum on Character Education. While CMS participates in a wide variety of activities that promote kindness, it was the Second Grade Kindness Tour that has been selected as one of 260 practices chosen out of 500 applications received this year nationwide, as well as Mexico and Singapore. The Third Annual CMS Kindness Bus tour was held Wednesday, May 11, and involved 100 students from five second grade classes at CMS. Stops included the Warren Haven Nursing Home in Oxford, Trinity Methodist Church Food Pantry in Hackettstown, Hometown Hardware Store in Hackettstown, and the Mount Olive Post Office. It is a great honor to be recognized as a school on a national level, says CMS principal Gayle Dierks. We, here at CMS, have worked hard to develop a character education program that works well for our students and challenges them to grow as individuals. Since we were recognized our Kindness Tour and all it entails is published so other schools can use it. The idea of spreading our Rainbow Connections across the country to other schools is very exciting! When an award such as this is received it draws attention to the work that is being done and we are hopeful that more people will start to make these types of connections in
their own lives, continues Dierks. Sharing our program at the Board of Education meeting and receiving the banner was a thrill for all the students. Ann Scotland, second grade teacher and co-organizer of the tour, adds. Receiving a national award for good character was a true honor. It is an award that the entire school can take ownership in as one. This award allows the CMS community to have a voice with regards to the importance of kindness, continues Scotland. Having a balanced education requires the children to blend their academic ability with good character. Being a recipient of this award, allows our school to share the success of The Kindness Tour with other schools across the nation, adding that it has been showcased on a website, in a character reference book and displayed at an October conference for educators in San-Francisco, Ca. Education at its best is participating in healthy lessons, sharing what works, and nurturing all that is important for our future generation, says Scotland. We are excited to influence and inspire other schools with our Rainbow Connection Program. We cant say it loud enoughkindness does matter! This year, CMS is trying to involve parents and staff members in the program by asking them to send in or email connections that are happening at home, in the community or at CMS by either the children, parents or staff members. These are read at staff meetings, Friday Finales and are being posted throughout the building. Dierks encourages continued on page 18
loha in the Hawaiian language means hello, but for us it has another meaning, that is Abacus Learning of Higher Arithmetic. ALOHA is an international child enrichment and brain development program triggers the usage of both halves of the brain.

Our program is unique in various ways small, age based batches with more personalized and exclusive attention to the children, sessions are interactive fun filled and enjoyable to children, well qualified faculties to impart the concepts to children.

Theater Dance Hosts Dance For A Cure

being diagnosed with breast cancer. As a survivor, Michel is pleased with the advancement in cancer treatments and is hopeful for the future. My story is common, says Michel. The technology to treat what I have is really advanced. I think from all of the fundraising theres a lot of improvement. My hope is the money we raise will help the students in my class, that there will be a vaccine or something. Michel is all too familiar with the disease, not only by her personal battle but through people in her life facing similar experiences. Her childhood friend died last September from bone cancer. A father of one of her dance students is a three-time survivor. The head ballet teacher at the studio survived breast cancer after she had a mastectomy and chemotherapy three years ago. In addition, she and Volz both lost their fathers to prostate cancer. Most recently, Casey Markowitz 17, a competitive dancer at Theater Dance Center and senior at Mt. Olive High School was diagnosed with Hodgkins Lymphoma. Hodgkins Lymphoma is a cancer that attacks the lymph node system. Casey underwent chemotheraphy and radiation and returned to school this past fall. She is now in remission along with Michel. Its close to us; we really wanted to have more of an impact, explains Michel. Our dancers really want to do something and make a difference. TDC collected over to $5000 last year for Stand Up 2 Cancer with their first benefit performance. This year, the centers goal is to raise even more by inviting dancers from The Dance Academy of North Jersey in Jefferson and Starz Performing Arts Academy in Secaucus to perform. All proceeds raised from the performance will go

Theater Dance Center invites the public to its performance - TDC 2012 Dance For a Cure-on Sunday, Jan. 22, at 5 p. m. at the Mt. Olive High School. Tickets are $7, and all proceeds will go to Stand Up To Cancer (SUTC), a program of the Entertainment Industry Foundation. Any amount of money raised for this cause will make a difference in the lives of others who may someday be diagnosed with cancer or have a relative fighting against the disease. We have a bunch of young girls at our studio who could face breast cancer someday, says Millene Michel, co-owner and artistic director of Theater Dance Center. Michel co-owns the studio with Mary Ellen Volz, who also serves as business director of the center. Hopefully any money raised from our efforts will make a difference. Facing the disease is all too familiar for members of TDC. Michel, 48, of Flanders, had a double mastectomy last year, after

SUTCs purpose is to enable cuttingedge research to find a cure to all types of cancer such as breast, prostate, skin and brain. SU2C's goal is to bring together the best and the brightest in the cancer community, encouraging collaboration instead of competition, according to the organizations mission statement. By galvanizing the entertainment industry, SU2C creates awareness and builds broad public support for this effort. TDC 2012 Dance For a Cure will include a 2.5 hour performance of a variety of dances that incorporate all forms of dance such as ballet, tap, lyrical, contemporary, hip hop and jazz.

hich of their pieces would artists choose to show others if they could pick only a few from all their current work? Without the restrictions of the curators theme, with no limitation on size or medium, and no one but themselves to judge, which works of art would the artist want to exhibit? Would the artists pick what they believe is their best work, the piece that is outside the norm and never quite fit into other shows, or maybe one thats a favorite for a personal reason? These are probably good guesses, but the real reason why an artist would choose one artwork instead of another is known only to him or herself. Maybe the reason doesnt matter, since its the artwork youll be looking at in the Artists Choice Show at the Sussex County Arts and Heritage Council
Artists Choose Own Works for Special Exhibit
Gallery. This is the first time the Council is presenting this kind of exhibition, and from the response from the artists and quality of the works of art, it might become a yearly event.

The show continues through February 4 and can be viewed Tuesday through Friday from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m., and Saturday from 12 p.m. to 4 p.m. More information about other gallery shows, community events, and becoming a member of the Council can be found on the Council's website www.scahc.org, or by calling (973) 383-0027.

"We serve food; we make it a happy day, a hopeful event," says Falcone. "It's been successful because it helps so many people in one day." Falcone says "we are the lead agency but we join other agencies in the county so we show unity as one goal to help the homeless." In 2010, MHAMC provided outreach services to 735 homeless people. Out of those people, 47 of them who have a mental illness were housed. "When a person is homeless in a train station, talking to themselves, pacing back and forth in obvious despair, when all the people around them walk uncomfortably away from them, it is the MHAMC staff that does not walk away ,from them, but actually walks toward them," says Schwarcz in a recent newsletter. A major fundraiser by MHAMC is the annual food event- 10th annual Food For
Thought- scheduled for June 4, 2012, from 6 p.m. to 9 p.m. - at the Bretton Woods Mansion in Morris Plains. Over the years, Food for Thought has grown to be one of Morris County's premier fundraising events with many of the area's finest restaurants offering a "taste" of their delicious and diverse cuisine while raising awareness and vital funds for the MHAMC programs and services. NJ State Senator Richard Codey and his wife are invited as "guests of honor" of the 10th anniversary event given their sincere advocacy efforts and support to the mental health community. "Food for Thought is our opportunity to reflect and celebrate the positive impact that we have on the Morris County mental health community," say organizers. "We encourage people to call us or check out our website," says Schwarcz, "to learn more about our support so they can live healthy lives in the community. "People shouldn't lose hope. There is a place where people can turn to cope, recoup and recover." For more information, visit www.mhamorris.org or call 973-334-3496.

he Growing Stage, The Childrens Theatre of New Jersey, located in the Historic Palace Theatre on Route 183 in Netcong, New Jersey is proud to present MOTHER HICKS from January 19th to February 5th with performances Thursday and Friday evenings at 7:30 PM,
Mother Hicks Opens at the Growing Stage

Saturday and Sunday matinees at 4:00 PM. The work was created by Suzan Zeder and recognized with Best Original Play Awards by both the American Alliance for Theatre & Education and the TYA/USA, the international service organization for professional theatre for young audiences. John Pietrowski, the Artistic Director of Playwrights Theatre of New Jersey, is the guest director. MOTHER HICKS is an evocative story of three outsiders that is richly realized through all of the resources of theatre including poetry, character, and story. Set in southern Illinois, during the great Depression, this play is about three outsiders - - a foundling girl known only as Girl; a deaf boy, eloquent in the language of his silence; and an eccentric recluse, Mother
Hicks, who is suspected of being a witch. The tale, told with poetry and sign language, chronicles the journeys of these three to find themselves, and each other, in a troubled time. MOTHER HICKS features the talents of Lori B. Lawrence of Hackettstown in the title role; Emmanuel Nadeau of Westfield, who recently played the role of Scout in the Shakespeare Theatre of New Jerseys production of TO KILL A MOCKINGBIRD, as continued on page 25

Push down hard enough until you feel some tenderness. Hold/Massage for approximately one minute. Repeat every day. Stomach 36 This point is used to help improve immune function. This point is located just behind the head of your Tibia (shin bone).
by Kearstin Saya, L. Ac. hronic fatigue immunodeficiency syndrome (CFIS) also known as myalgic encephalomyelitis (ME) is a disabling and poorly understood illness that is becoming more widespread in Western countries. CFIS is a term used to describe a myriad of neurological, neuromuscular, and immunological abnormalities. The initial onset of CFIS consists of flu-like symptoms including fever, sore throat, tender lymph nodes, chills and extreme fatigue. The chronic manifestations of CFIS always include disabling fatigue but can also include muscle and joint pain, sleep disorders, headaches, hypo- or hypersensitivities, cognitive disorders, depression, malaise, anxiety, irritability, confusion, weight fluctuations, abdominal pain, nausea and vomiting, muscle fatigue, worsening PMS, visual disturbances, tachycardia, paresthesias, dry eyes, dry mouth, night sweats, skin rashes and decreased sexual desire.
balance in CFIS patients. This point is located in between the medial malleolus (inner ankle bone) and the Achilles tendon.
As with any illness, traditional Chinese medicine treats the individual on a case- by- case basis. A diagnosis is made based on the individuals symptoms as well as their tongue and pulse presentations. The patients tongue is inspected and 6 pulses are felt on each wrist in order for the Acupuncturist/ Chinese Medical Practitioner to
determine the diagnosis. Since chronic fatigue manifests differently in each person, this method of diagnosing is superior. The treatment plan is then formulated based on the individuals diagnosis. As you can see in the chartone Acupuncture treatment plan will address all of the individuals symptoms as well as the illness as a whole.
This is known as a root and branch treatment. Addressing the root cause of the chronic fatigue is addressing the illness as a whole while treating the branch aims to relieve all of the symptoms associated with the illness. A single Chinese herbal formula can also be prescribed to treat both the root and branch of the chronic fatigue syn-

Kinderhook, Quimby Mountain Bands to Share Stage at Vasa Park

Quimby Mountain Band has been thrust into the national limelight on Sirius XM's Jam Station, which has been giving them ample airtime. Based out of the Hackettstown area, Quimby has expanded its reach in recent months to the entire Northeast, including New York City, with a southern tour scheduled for this coming

For further information, go to www.joehirshproductions.com, Joe Hirsh Productions Facebook page, or send an email message to joehirsh@msn.com.
n the surface, Kinderhook and Quimby Mountain Band may seem separated by two generations of fans, but as Kinderhook's lead singer Jerry Kopychuk said recently at a Quimby show, "their fans are our fans from 30 years ago. Indeed, for those who have seen both bands, the makeup of Quimby's fans is quite similar to Kinderhook fans "back in the day." So while Kinderhook was the rage of the 1970s and early 1980s (and again now that
they have been playing select dates), Quimby Mountain Band is the rage of New Jersey - and beyond. The two bands will share the spotlight at Vasa Park, Wolfe Road, Mount Olive, on Saturday night, Feb. 11. The show starts at 8:30 with Kinderhook taking the stage at Vasa's indoor hall. Doors open at 8 p.m. Kinderhook, the amazing country rock band that opened for "everybody" including Poco, David Bromberg, New Riders of the Purple Sage, The Outlaws, and others, is

Introducing Teenfax
extracurricular achievements that are either stuffed into a folder in their dresser drawer not documented at all, we saw a need to provide a very simple system that kids and parents would use to organize their accomplishments in one place for use later in life, explains Conyack. It makes completing applications for scholarships and schools so much easier. Its a great archival system for them for the future." TeenFax will help students record all of their accomplishments from as early as first grade into a detailed report to help them stand out when applying for a scholarship, job or college. Students can list several categories such as sports, awards, special classes, clubs, hobbies, grades/report cards, leadership, music, skills, standardized test scores, volunteering community service and work history. They can also scan in report cards as well as certificates and photos of trophies. Besides helping students to be college and career ready, TeenFax will allow guidance counselors to do a better job in guiding students. Counselors can help students build their reports by suggesting extra-curricular activities or volunteer opportunities so they are well-rounded and more marketable for their future. Conyack shared his program with Severns about seven months ago and asked her to beta-test it at the middle school and provide feedback and suggestions for improvement. In October 2011, Severns invited her gifted and talented students to be the first users of the program, tweaking it along the way. These students are now showing other stucontinued on page 34
By Cheryl Conway hrough a new on-line service, Mt. Olive students will be one step ahead of their peers when it comes to applying for jobs and colleges. Recently developed by a local resident and his daughter, TeenFax is a new program being tested at the Mt. Olive Middle School and being offered to students in grades sixth through eighth, as well as students at the high school. By logging onto www.teenfax.com, students can organize their accomplishments, extra-curricular activities, volunteer work, grades and recommendations all in one report. Instead of keeping documents, certificates, report cards, testing scores and recommendations scattered about in boxes or file cabinets, students can keep track of their accomplishments and store all of that information in a virtual binder. Information is everywhere; accessing is everything, explains Howard Conyack of Mt. Olive, creator of TeenFax. We can give a kid a platform to document their achievements and get organized. They will always have it insight, in-mind. They can see it and be proud of it. Dr. Tracey Severns, principal at MOMS, says We are in a more global marketplace. Every opportunity to be career and college ready is a good one. Conyack, CEO of NYLX.com- a financial/mortgage technology software company in Mt. Arlington - developed the concept of TeenFax about a year ago with his daughter Stephanie, a MOHS junior. Seeing that students have a lot of academic and

Peter needs a temporary foster! His foster family is traveling for 3 months and we dont want Peter to return to the shelter! Peter is a 5 year old pit bull mix. He is neutered and up to date on shots. He is extremely well behaved in the house. He is housebroken and will not destroy things- he doesnt even need to be crated when you leave. He LOVES children and lived with small children for 2 years, sleeping in bed with them every night. He graduated 4 classes at Pawsitive Experience Training in Rockaway. He is very smart and eager to please. Peter must be the only pet in the home. He needs to go to a home with a fenced yard or a neighborhood with not a lot of dogs around if there is not fenced yard.
ts a new year, so why not make it a new you? Put those resolutions into action by making simple changes to help improve your lifestyle. Start with the meal that helps start your day and create a versatile, fulfilling breakfast by adding almonds, in all their forms to your morning meal to help provide you with the energy you need. Matthew Biancaniello, master mixologist at the Hollywood Roosevelt Hotels Library Bar is known for his innovative cocktail creations and use of fresh ingredients. His creativity extends to healthful smoothies that help jump start your morning and your metabolism as well. For an easy smoothie, Biancaniello suggests using almond butter or almond milk for a creamy base with a burst of flavor. One of my favorite smoothie recipes uses a combination of both almond butter and milk, along with fresh fruit, juices and seasonings for a unique blend thats sure to get your day going, says Biancaniello. It takes no time at all to add and blend the ingredients, and the result is a satisfying drink that you can take with you on the go. Including a handful of almonds in your breakfast is one simple solution that not only packs a powerful nutritional punch, but also helps keep you satisfied throughout the morning. There are all kinds of ways almonds can help
Make Breakfast Part of Your New Years Resolution
boost your breakfast: Toss a handful of whole natural almonds and fresh berries into your morning yogurt. Look for cereals containing crunchy sliced or slivered almonds. Top whole wheat toast with almond butter and sliced bananas, or spread almond butter onto apple slices. Use almond milk in your oatmeal, and top with dried or fresh fruit. Sprinkle sliced almonds into your breakfast parfait layered with low-fat yogurt and fruit. Toss toasted, sliced almonds into scrambled eggs or a veggie omelet for an extra healthy boost.

continued from page 28 dents how to log on and create their own reports. We are growing it; we are rolling it out, says Severns. We wanted to refine it first, so she started with her gifted and talented students. Theyre learning. We are not holding it back. Seventh graders Alec Talanca and Nicole Kuznetsov have already created their accounts and now, along with other students, are helping others get started. With 17 accomplishments listed so far, Alec Talanca says TeenFax is easily accessible and doesnt take a lot of time. He says it has helped me recognize my weaknesses such as his lack of volunteer work. As a result, he has started to volunteer more. Nicole Kuznetsov has 41 accomplishments listed so far and says Its like a large filing cabinet you can access and you or your parents can administer. This ultimately saves you time. Currently 300 kids from MOMS and 100 kids from MOHS have logged onto Teenfax.com and created accounts. Conyacks daughter Stephanie, who is the president of the 11th grade student council, has rolled out the services to fellow student council members and peers. TeenFax has received positive feedback so far from students, teachers and parents. I think TeenFax is a wonderful resource, says Julie Talanca of Flanders, mother of Alec Talanca. It's user friendly and fun to use. I especially like the feature which allows students to request and receive verification and letters of recommendation directly on-line. This is a great time saver. TeenFax helps Alec become organized and keep tabs on all of his achievements in one easy to use place, continues Talanca. This will be especially
important when he applies for awards, scholarships, and college applications. Michelle Cook, 6th grade Success Skills teacher at MOMS, says It makes students responsible for entering their information and gives them skills for life on who to contact. Cook describes TeenFax as a digital portfolio. That portfolio, its very affirming, adds Severns. Students look at it and say wow look at me. Its very motivating. TeenFax is a resource that some kids may need more than others. Some kids have parents that really care and guide them, says Severns, but some do not. TeenFax Serves as equalizers to that conflict. Some students are left out on their own. Some arent given these opportunities. This will have a great impact in urban areas where kids dont believe they have an opportunity for college. This can really help kids who are out there rudderless. Sixth grade is a great age
to start documenting achievements adds Severns, because that is the grade that you are picking a path that should lead to success. Sixth graders seemed the most open to really get started in building this record of achievement and service. Its to get them on the path, continues Severns. They live so in the moment. We need them to look further down the road. Students, however, can document achievements as early as first grade, but Conyack suggests that anyone under 11 or 12 years old (5th grade/6th grade) have a parent set up a "Parent" account and then create accounts for their children. Parents can also build a parents account in order to update their childs progress. Its good to show kids how to document and get organized now, says Conyack. Also, younger students can benefit by starting early in listing their accomplishments, Conyack says,
because it can help you with a babysitting job, or a job at Mandees to show your responsibility. When applying for colleges, students can then edit their reports and show their accomplishments from ninth grade on. All information will be archived so no information is lost when edited, he adds. Its also something to show your kids as a role model, when you become an adult and have your own kids, he says. Conyacks goal is to extend the program to students in other schools. The Union Middle School in Elizabeth has already contacted him as well as a school in New York. They are all looking for something to get kids better ready for college and careers, says Conyack. Its not all about SATs. We weigh just as much on your extra-curriculars. We are looking for well-rounded kids. There is a link on the platform that lists volunteer
opportunities for students who are looking to get involved in more volunteer work. This aspect can be beneficial to students who apply to the junior and national honor societies, which requires its members to have completed and be actively involved in volunteer activities as part of the application process. Many students do not have an array of experiences, services or volunteer activities when applying for the National Junior Honors Society, says Severns. TeenFax helps kids round out their profile. Guidance counselors can view students dashboards and can suggest volunteer work, line them up and move them in the direction they need. Another benefit on the TeenFax Report is the verification process. Students can email their teachers, coaches and bosses to verify their accomplishments and even write recommendations to be included on their report.
Kids can get documented that its a proven achievement, says Conyack. Many companies and organizations, including honor societies, do require verifications and recommendations. It keeps everyone in check, says Conyack. Trust is verified. It a trust and verify concept. Severns agrees, They can print this out and say here its all verified. To have it verified makes it that much easier. Although a free service currently, Conyack is considering fee options to cover increased financial costs in maintaining the service. All on-line information is secured and backed-up by servers that contain firewalls, he says. Conyack is also looking into hiring a management team in the near future. Whether he will keep the name TeenFax is uncertain, but the meaning behind the name is similar to a report on a car- known as a carfax. continued on page 35

Tell Them You Saw It In The Mt. Olive News - January 2012 - Page 35 is good for everybody, he continues. This is fun. I see my kids benefitting from it. Life cant always be about making money. I live happy doing what I do, making technology. Im a visionary and I build things and I think what can you build to help people today. Now Im helping kids with archiving information.
