ing to one another. Never

even a hello."Even if we are busy, we

can get out of the house and

help others,” he says. “We

must greet one another, it

takes two seconds. I talk toeveryone at the community

center. Small, small things

make an enormous differ-

ence in the lives of others."

Just noticing others andthe progress that they are

making with their health

goals, saying things like ‘It

looks like your waist is

slimming down’ is validat-ing their efforts as well astheir humanity. Mark often

notices that just making a

simple observation or

offering a friendly greeting

"brings a smile to theirfaces and eyes."

While Aslam's mission

may be one of health and

fitness, his core principles

are rooted in the value of

every human being. Thestrength of our society

being the core of our com-

munity and it's human

interactions. Reaching out-

side of ourselves to greetone another builds commu-

nity and makes both parties

happier. Sometimes the

other person may not recip-

rocate or may even be hos-tile to our friendliness, but

usually other peoplerespond positively to kind-

ness.

"People avoid interac-

tion" says Mark, "but theyactually appreciate it."

One of Aslam’s goals inlife has become helping

others. There is one com-

munity center member that

Aslam will never forget.

This member was in his70’s and in very ill health.

He even had a difficult time

opening his eyes. After

working out consistently

and changing his eating

habits, during the course of three years, this member

experienced huge life

changing benefits.

"It is so good to help in

some way. It is so good to

have been able to help himto live longer," said Aslam.

One thing Aslam

emphasises about why peo-

ple fail to reach their healthgoals is consistency.

"Some people come and

then disappear,” he says.

“They are not progressing.

Inconsistency and food is

their problem. Consistencyis the most important. Stay

on for four-six weeks. Mostpeople give up during this

time."

Health and fitness werenot Aslam’s profession

By Anastasia Marchese

Most have heardabout the current

obesity epidemic

in the United States, with

recent studies showing that

there are now more obese

people living in America,than overweight people.

While being overweight

isn't recommended, being

obese can be deadly. When

most hear these warnings,they wonder or worry

about their own health, but

some people are reaching

out to make a difference inthe health of others.

Mark Aslam is one of those people. He may be in

his 70's but Aslam is choos-

ing to flourish instead of

fade away as he ages. As a

staff member at the

Caldwell Community

Center, he works to help

motivate people to be con-sistent about healthy eating

and fitness. The

Community Center is a

great resource for all ages,

but Aslam has a specialheart for other seniors.

Aslam started working

there about seven years ago

after experiencing the life

changing benefits of exer-

cise and healthy eating inhis own life. He was over-

weight and his health was

suffering from lack of exer-

cise. Then he started

changing his diet and

working out at the commu-

nity center. After seeing

Aslam’s commitment to a

healthy lifestyle and the joy

he had in sharing it withothers, the staff offered him

a part time job working at

the community center him-

self. He is so thankful and

appreciative for the supportand help of his superiors as

well as for having the

opportunity to make a pos-

itive impact in the lives of

others.

His philosophy is holis-tic with benefits for not

only the body but the heart

and mind as well.

People need to know

"how important exercise isto begin with, and then

healthy food," he says.

"That brings out a happy

and a healthy mind. I love

human beings. I was notthat way before. If I can do

it, everybody can do it.Train your brain not to

think about the tiredness.

You become the master

when you train your brain.Don't be a slave to your

brain. We are all slaves to

something, to our own cer-

tain weaknesses. But we

can change that by a com-

mitment to ourselves, not

to anyone else. Self-prom-ise and consistency can

change anyone’s life."

He says, "When you

become healthy, you

become happy, then youmake other people happy. It

has enormous benefits for

everybody."

Aslam’s passion for

health is connected to his

love for his fellow man. Hesees many people living

isolated lives and being

lonely and unhealthy as a

result. Seniors seem to be

especially susceptible toliving in isolation. Many

seniors live alone, spend a

lot of time sitting and

watching television.

Overeating is a naturalresponse to loneliness and

boredom, but it has disas-trous health effects.

Many times Aslam has

seen people at the center

working out side by sidefor years, yet never speak-

T

he Jewish Cultural School &

Society (JCSS) is planning family-

holiday events and adult programsfor the coming year. Long-time members

have taken over the leadership reins and

the organization has shifted from being

primarily a child-oriented education

source to serving adults who want a northJersey home to express their cultural

Jewish secular identity.

Peter Cole of Montclair, the new presi-

dent, and his wife Lisa, have been affiliat-

ed with JCSS since 1999. “Our childrenare alumni of the school. The four of us

continue to enjoy being members of a sec-ular Jewish community, where we can

come together for holiday observances,

adult education events, and family activi-

ties. We’re hoping to attract a new burst of alumni families as well as interested

adults.”

The initial events for JCSS are the fall

holidays. Both Rosh Hashanah and Yom

Kippur are hour-long celebrations the

evening before (Erev) in rented space at

the Universal Unitarian Congregation of

Montclair, 67 Park Street.The Sun., Sept. 13, Rosh Hashanah pro-

gram starts at 7 p.m. and is followed by a

pot-luck dessert social. The Thurs., Sept.22 Yom Kippur program starts at 8 p.m.

Children are welcome at both if they can

sit quietly with their parents. The Sukkot

celebration on Sun., Oct. 4, 10 a.m. in

Tulip Springs Grove of South MountainReservation, West Orange, is more active

for all ages. After building a sukkah there

is an official program and then a pot-luck

picnic and informal games. All JCSS cer-emonies feature readings, poems and

songs exploring the humanistic meaningsof these Jewish holidays. Each costs $10

for member household; $30 for non-mem-

ber.

T

eams For Kids Foundation is a non-

profit organization that enables chil-dren from homeless and low income

families within New Jersey to participate inrecreational sports programs.

The foundation is the brain child of Abby

Bauer, a senior at The Pingry School inBasking Ridge and a resident of Long

Valley.

“I started the organization last summer,

which is when we received our 501 (c)(3)

nonprofit status,” Bauer said.

The foundation is still growing and mold-ing to the needs of the children residing in

shelters and temporary housing facilities in

Morristown but the success stories areflooding in of kids who are now provided

with the opportunity to participate with theirpeers in recreational sports programs.

For Bauer, the start of the long yet

rewarding process of running a nonprofit

organization began while she was volunteer-

ing at Homeless Solutions, a homeless shel-ter and low income housing program in

Morristown.

“I’ve been kind of running a children'sprogram there since I was 12-years-old,”

Bauer said. “Two summers ago I was run-

ning my children’s program at the shelter

and we were making s’mores and playingkickball with the kids at the shelter and this10-year-old boy named Giovanni

approached me with his baseball glove and

asked if we could have a catch and so I said

sure. We threw the ball back and forth a few

times and I realized that he had a really great

arm and he could toss really well so I askedhim if he played on a little league team and

he said he wished he could.”

Later in the day, Giovanni’s mom

explained to Bauer that families at the shel-

ter couldn't afford to put their children onrecreational sports teams because they need-

ed to save money for rent and living expens-

es when they left the shelter.

“That kind of just resonated with me and

it really bothered me that he didn't have thesame opportunity to play sports that I had

and so many other children have, so I really

wanted to help kids like Giovanni to have

this opportunity which is why I started the

Local Teen Helps Kids Join Sports Teams, Asks Businesses To Contribute

Teams For Kids Foundation,” Bauer said.Bauer and the foundation distributed

their first grant of $2,500 to Homeless

Solutions in March. Teams For Kids then

gives the money to Homeless Solutions and

they allocate it to the needs of the familiesliving in the shelter.

“We have had some success stories so

far,” Bauer said. “I know for a fact that cur-

rently there are four kids signed up to play

sports who have utilized the funds for equip-ment and for team registration and things

like that, so the funds are constantly being

used.”

Included in the updates that Bauer

received from Homeless Solutions were sto-ries of a boy who was able to join a track

team and placed fifth at a meet, a boy who is

not only signed up for football in the fall but

sion mortgage broker and financial con-

sultant. He came to the U.S. as a student at

The University of Oklahoma in the 1970's.A native of India, he chose to make theU.S. his home. His met his wife while they

were both students in Oklahoma. She is a

native of South Korea and they have been

married for more than 30 years and enjoy

life in their adopted country.

He commented that there is so much tobe thankful for here. Some of the things

that many people here don't fully appreci-

ate is the abundance of food and clean

water.

"People are often very angry, hyper,always busy, busy, busy with a lot of things

they don't have to do, and they have a lot

of health problems" as a result. He pointed

out that even for people who don't have

access to a great community center like theone here in Caldwell, many health insur-ance programs will pay toward their health

club memberships. Getting out into the

community to exercise helps not only to

increase physical fitness but also helps

people make connections with other

human beings. All of these things can worktogether to make a positive impact in the

lives of individuals and by extension the

communities that they are part of.

By Cheryl Conway

Going on a trip, whether business or

pleasure, can be stressful especial-

ly if it involves driving to the air-

port, deciding where to park in crowdedlots, remembering where the car is parked,

getting the luggage out of the vehicle and

then finding the means to get to the gate in

time for a flight.

A lot of these concerns can be avoidedfor those drivers who choose Vista Parking

for their off-site parking destination.

Located directly across Newark Liberty

International Airport, customers can park

their car valet style in a secure 24-hour

access lot before they even get to the busy

airport and then receive car-door to air-port-door service any time of day without

any wait.

Family operated and owned since 1988,

Vista Parking has been providing the mostconvenient means of off-site parking for

travelers who use Newark Airport.

The service at Vista Parking is “much

more convenient than long-term because

it’s a door to door service,” says the com-

pany president. “Customers are immedi-

ately greeted by a van; there’s no waiting

for shuttles, not waiting every 15 minutes.

We take you on demand; you come in, weare ready to go.” Unlike other lots, “They

are not walking through long dark parking

lots in snow or far away.”

What used to be four or five lots at

Newark Airport has grown, but at VistaParking customers can park before they

get to the airport.

“We are right there,” says the owner.

“We are located right when you come off

78; right at the end of the exit, right at exit

58B; or exit 14 off of the NJ Turnpike”located at the Howard Johnson’s Hotel in

Newark.

At Vista Parking, “award winning serv-ice is provided;” cars are kept in a safe and

secure lot; and service is available 24hours a day.

Customers get free shuttle service to the

airport, just a three minute ride. “We drop

you off right at the terminal and pick you

up right at the terminal.” Also offered are

corporate rates, fast check out, all valetparking, frequent parker rewards club, lug-

gage assistance and security.

Vista Parking Unlocks The Key To Secure, Convenient Parking

New Jersey Blood Services, a divi-

sion of New York Blood Center,

which supplies blood products

and services to 60 hospitals throughoutthe state, is in need of volunteers at blood

drives. The blood service volunteer is an

integral member of the collection team

whose task it is assist donors with regis-

tration, escorting and canteen duties, and

to watch for post donation reactions.

Volunteers should have the ability torelate to the public, be able to perform

different jobs as needed and have the

willingness to follow the rules. For addi-

tional information contact, Manager of

Community Relations, R. Jan Zepka at

732-616-8741 [email protected].

All size vehicles are welcome and thereis no minimum to days parked.

“We are very customer service friend-

ly,” he said. “Once you pull in you don’t

have to pull your bags. We clean off your

car when it snows. There’s nothing worsethan coming home from the Bahamas and

there’s two feet of snow on your car. We

make it so simple for you. It starts and fin-

ishes so nice. This is valet; the car is

brought up to you, warmed up on a coolnight.”

According to the website, “At Vista

Parking, you won’t have to worry about

navigating massive parking garages or

where you parked your car. All you have todo is call the number on your claim ticket

and one of our shuttles will be dispatched

to meet you at the arrival terminal and

return you to your vehicle.”

At random parking lots, cars can bestolen, misplaced, sometimes people for-

get where they parked their car or what

row they are in. “If you have a problem

with your car when you get back, it just

brings aggravation.”Cost to park at Vista Parking is reason-

ably priced. For more information, go to

www.vistaparking.com or call 973-263-

2009 or 973-465-9400.

who already has his equipment ready and,

according to Bauer, is clearly excited. And a

girl in middle school who was able to join

her school’s track team because she was able

to purchase the required running shoes.While the foundation is still in its early

stages, there are a lot of fundraisers happen-

ing right now, as well as planned initiatives

to happen in the near future.

Currently, there are two initiatives thatthe foundation is running. The first one,

Teaming up for Kids, uses donated money to

created ‘Team Up Kits.’ Inside of the kits is

fundraising material and through a partner-

ship with the Morristown Recreational

Department, they are being distributed tochildren on these teams who can raise

money and spread awareness.

The other initiative is called the Teams

For Kids 2015 Corporate Challenge. Bauer

and the foundations are asking New Jerseybusinesses and corporations to get involved

with the Teams For Kids Foundation. The

process is simple: an employee registers the

business online and picks a date before

Labor Day where all employees dress down

or wear their favorite sports jersey and

donate five dollars to Teams For Kids. The

money can be sent via mail to Teams For

Kids Foundation, Inc. at PO Box 33,

Schooleys Mountain, NJ, 07870-0033, or

submitted online. Participants can also takea group photo of their "corporate team" and

send it to Teams For Kids Foundation so that

they can share it on their Facebook page,

website, and blog.Two future fundraising events include an

in-store event in September at Alex and Ani

in Princeton where from 6 p.m. to 8 p.m., 15

percent of all proceeds are being donated to

the foundation; and an event in Octoberwhere the foundation is partnering with

Morris United Soccer. There will be a Teams

For Kids day with various activities for kids

and many different ways to raise money for

children in the community.

According to Bauer, it’s going to be hardto find a balance between her senior year of

high school and being the backbone of this

foundation but she’s willing to give it her all.

“It’s easy in the summer because I have a

lot of free time so it’s kind of my priority, butI know that during the school year I’m going

Local Teen Helps Kids...continued from page 5 to have to find a way to balance it,” Bauer

said. “Even if it’s just kind of allocating anhour a night to take care of emails or dona-

tions or things that need to get done for the

foundation. But I’m probably going to prior-

itize school.”For Bauer, this foundation has turned out

to be more than she thought it would.

“It’s definitely much bigger than I imag-

ined,” Bauer said. “It’s a huge part of my lifeand I’m just really proud of everything

we’ve accomplished.”

By Cheryl Conway

No matter the stage, a little bit of

comfort goes a long way for vic-

tims and family members fighting

cancer, from diagnosis to treatment.Hyla Weiss and Suzanne Unger, both of

Livingston, Jodi Bloom of Short Hills andseveral others can relate to this all to well

and have formed a non-profit group called

Comfort Project 360. As partners with

Saint Barnabas Medical Center in Short

Hills, Comfort Project 360 was estab-lished about eighteen months ago and has

already made great strides.

The purpose of Comfort Project 360 is

to enhance the patient and family experi-

ence while dealing with the diagnosis of cancer. Whether through renovating the

current facility, providing more services in

the waiting area, offering welcome bags to

patients and even a cozy robe, Comfort

Project 360 has been warming up the

place.“Saint Barnabas was taking excellent

care of the body but thru research and arti-

cles there was evidence that treating the

mind body and spirit of the patient was

what helped in the healing process,”

explains Unger, co-founder of theComfort Project 360 along with Weiss.

Unger’s mother was diagnosed with

breast cancer at the age of 48 and was

treated at Sloan Kettering since she livedin New York.

“I spent a lot of time going with her for

treatment; she had both radiation and

chemo,” says Unger. “She passed away at

54. Again the care at Sloan was excellent

but the environment at times was cold andsterile and that definitely had an impact on

my psyche as well as my mothers.”Weiss had gone through a similar expe-

rience when she went through radiation

and surgery in 2010 for breast cancer as apatient at Saint Barnabas.

“I found the experience very difficult

on my spirit and felt there were some

small touches that have improved the

experience,” explains Weiss. “The care

has been great, but it was the whole expe-rience,” like waiting for a hospital gown,

in a space a “little dingy,” if felt like

“patients waiting in a galley. I felt like I

was staring cancer in the face. I found it

very difficult on my spirit.”Two years later, Weiss faced her second

bout of cancer in her other breast. Again,

with this experience, she describes, “it

was cold; I didn’t feel comforted. I felt

that more could have been done during the

time I was there.”

Shortly after, Weiss “saw Suzanne at a

friend’s birthday luncheon and we got totalking and told her of my experience and

my feelings and she shared with me her

personal experience with her mother and

together we said that we were going to

make a difference.”The two women shared their idea with

others and Created Comfort Project 360 to

transform areas of the facility. Weiss

explains that the name- Comfort Project

360- “represents caring for the wholepatient: body mind and spirit.”

The idea is “treating the whole patientwith a more holistic approach,” adds

Unger. “It was designed to ease the mind

and lift the spirits of adults living with

cancer as well as complement the carealready provided by Saint Barnabas

Radiation Oncology Department.”

Weiss says, “Our commitment to this

project is about helping others have an

easier cancer journey in our community.”One member of their board, Bloom

says “it’s a very frightening time in your

life.”With Comfort Project 360, the purpose

was “to create a calming environment” forcancer patients, says Bloom, co-chair of

fundraising. “They already had outstand-

ing care there but wanted a more comfort-

able environment.”

Bloom, who was diagnosed with breast

cancer in 2009, was a surgical patient atSaint Barnabas and underwent six weeks

of radiation there. “My experience was

phenomenal; staff was extremely profes-

sional; level of care there was fantastic,”says Bloom. “While the services were fab-ulous,” Bloom says the facility was in

need of a “facelift.” She describes her sur-

roundings as “cold,” being surrounded by

metal in the rooms and “big pieces of

equipment. It was intimidating.”

When Weiss and Unger approached herwith their idea, Bloom was fully on board.

“Anyone who’s going through cancer,

you are fearful,” says Bloom, “some of the

treatments are not pleasant.”

With a fundraising goal set at$500,000, the group set out to create the

changes developed with the Director of

Radiation Oncology Dr. Alison Grann,

who “gave us the wish list.” Weiss says

they started with this department first

since she had experienced the radiation

department as a patient.

Weiss explains the hospital’s primary

interest is equipment and doctors;“enhancements comes secondary.” Unlike

other hospitals, Saint Barnabas had not

received enough funding to provide art

work or welcoming baskets.After some research on patient care and

healing, the group found that “it’s experi-ence, art work, the light that impact heal-

ing,” says Weiss.

“This is where healthcare is going,”

explains Bloom, “to look at patients over-

all, 360 degrees; to treat patients fully,comprehensively as a whole, not just med-

ically, but for the well-being overall.

So far the group has raised $758,000,

according to Unger, with $150,000 raised

from last year’s kick-off fundraising eventwith more than 400 people.

“There’s been such tremendous support

from the community,” says Bloom.

The monies have gone to a $1 .2 million

multi-phase renovation project at the med-

ical center. The renovations have included“fixing up aesthetics to rooms and waiting

areas” including locker rooms, treatment

rooms, nursing stations; uplifting and

soothing framed art and paintings on the

walls; renovating floors; and providing

warming blanket stations; comfortablewaiting area with snacks and beverages;

music and televisions; positive, inspira-

tional words and quotes on welcome mon-

itors.

Instead of blank walls, “now we have

murals,” says Bloom. The exam rooms,

“they improved by making décor warmer;

putting equipment behind cabinetry so it

didn’t feel like a cold exam room.”Through the Comfort Project 360,

“small things” have been added like pro-

viding a “soft, comfy robe from Casa

Bella” instead of “an old gown”; privatedressing area, a cup of coffee, a welcom-

ing bag with lip balm, cream, bar of Dovesoap.

At Saint Barnabas, Radiation Oncology

sees approximately 900 new patients

annually, 75 per month and have delivered

13,500 treatments in 2014, says Unger.For phase two of the Comfort Project

360, organizers are looking to work with

the Medical Oncology Department, where

patients receive chemotherapy, to see

what the needs of their patients are, saysUnger.

“It’s a much bigger project,” says

Weiss, with 80 to 100 patients being seen

a day, encompassing 23 infusion rooms

and 17 exam rooms. “It’s our mission and

vision for the next few years.”Two programs that are being imple-

mented are, It’s A Wrap, which is a two

tier scarf program.

“In Radiation Oncology we are gifting

a scarf to a female patients finishing treat-

ment, and for a man, a coffee tumbler,”says Unger. “In Medical Oncology we

would give both of these to patients start-

ing their treatment. We are also working

on a tea cart program in Medical

Funds have also been raised throughin-home shopping events, bar/bat mitzva

projects, spin classes and other events in

town, allowing the project to progress,

along with compassionate volunteers.

“As a cancer survivor, I’ve experienced

what it is to go through diagnosis, hearingthe word ‘cancer’ and going through treat-

ments,” says Bloom. “It really stinks to go

through that; it’s important to feel com-

fortable, so it’s not doom and gloom.”

Unger says, “I am committed to thisproject not only because of my mother but

because of friends, family members and

patients that I have met in the past year

who have expressed what a difference an

environment, a touch and a feeling of nor-

malcy during a difficult time has helped

their spirit,” says Unger. “Sometimes we just think of what is going to make the

patient better, medically, but don’t put

emphasis on the fact that surroundings

and certain touches make healing and cop-

ing a better outcome.”Currently, six members serve on the

executive advisory board of Comfort

Project 360, but there is room to grow.

“Our needs are donors, donors,

donors,” says Bloom, “and buildingawareness.”

“There’s so much work to be done,”

says Weiss. Contact hylaweiss@ veri-

zon.net or [email protected] to

A

ndy Breckman of Uncle Andy Toyshas created Feed A Puppy, the

world’s first live- streaming inter-

active animal app featuring real rescue pup-pies.

Users can watch them play, watch themgrow, and fall in love over and over again.

Wanna feed them? Simply click the feed

button and-thanks to a patented Feed A

Puppy technology-a yummy treat will fall

into their bowl in real time!

The puppies have been rescued byEleventh Hour Rescue, a not-for-profit

group dedicated to saving dogs and cats

from death row. Though the app is free,

additional treats can be purchased or

earned, with a portion of every dollar donat-ed to their shelter in Northern New Jersey.

Feed A Puppy was created by Breckman,

award-winning television and film writer

and radio personality who was executive

producer of the Emmy-winning televisionseries Monk. His other credits include writ-

ing for Saturday Night Live, David

Letterman and numerous screenplays,

including Sgt. Bilko (with Steve Martin)

and Rat Race. He currently hosts WFMU's

popular comedy show and podcast Seven

Second Delay. Breckman is currently pro-ducing Probable Cause, a new mystery

series set to air on ABC next summer.

In 2014, Breckman founded Uncle Andy

Toys and began developing a line of inno-

vative and slightly-subversive board gamesand apps. Feed A Puppy was developed by

Shore Digital Solutions, who also designed

Uncle Andy's first app, Rigged Trivia.

The idea for Feed A Puppy came to

Breckman when he realized something was

missing from other live- streaming animalsites: the ability to interact with them.

"I wanted to create an app with a real

emotional component," Breckman said.

There's nothing else like it out there."

Being a strong supporter of animal res-cue, Andy wanted his app to benefit home-

less animals. He reached out to Eleventh

Hour Rescue, and the rest is app history!

Essex County Executive Joseph N.

DiVincenzo, Jr. announced plans to

develop a Giraffe Exhibit in Essex

County Turtle Back Zoo on Wed., July 15.At three acres in size, the Giraffe Exhibit

will be the largest attraction at the zoo.“We continually look for new ways to

introduce more exotic animals to the public

so Turtle Back Zoo can fulfill its mission of raising awareness about nature and the

importance of animals,” said DiVincenzo.

“Bringing giraffes to Essex County strength-

ens and diversifies our animal family, and

provides an interesting exhibit that willexcite and attract more visitors.”

Turtle Back Zoo Director Brint Spencer

said, “It’s always a good day when you roll

out a project like this. In addition to thegiraffes, this multi-species exhibit will fea-

ture antelope and ostrich. It will greatlyenhance the African animals in our collec-

tion and expand our opportunities to fulfill

our mission of education and conservation.”

Zoological Society of New Jersey

Executive Director Adam Kerins said, “Weat the Zoological Society are excited that

giraffes are coming to the Zoo and that we

will be involved in conservation and educa-

tion efforts to sustain the species. Since

1999, wild giraffe populations have declined

by about 40 percent. This new project will

provide an arena for us to inspire advocates

and tell the plight of these animals.”

Located behind the Animal Hospital and

Train Station, the exhibit was designed to

house at least three giraffes and other animal

species from Africa that are compatible with

giraffes. In accordance with the Turtle Back

Zoo Master Plan, the giraffe exhibit is situ-

ated in the southern section of the zoo which

will include other exhibits featuring animals

from the African continent.

Two types of giraffe subspecies – Masai

and Reticulated – will be relocated to Turtle

Back Zoo when the exhibit is completed:

one is in Kansas City and the other is inSpringfield, MI. Masai Giraffes are typical-

ly found in Kenya, Tanzania and Rwanda,

are the largest subspecies of giraffes and are

the tallest land mammals. They have large,

distinctive, dark brown, vine-leaf shaped, jagged spots interspersed by creamy-brown

irregular lines and are noticeably darker in

color that other species of giraffes.

Reticulated giraffes are the most commonly

seen giraffes in captivity. They are found in

Ethiopia, Kenya and Somalia. They areslightly shorter and have the “classic”

giraffe pattern of large red-brown blotches

with a white web like pattern dividing them.

Giraffe typically grow to be about 16 to 18

feet tall.The Giraffe Conservation Foundation

reports that there are less than 80,000

giraffes in African (down from 140,000 in

1999) and that giraffes are becoming an

endangered species. The Masai giraffes at

Turtle Back Zoo will be included in a breed-

ing program sponsored by the Association of

Zoos and Aquariums to help bolster thespecies numbers.

The habitat created for the giraffes will

resemble three acres of the African

Savannah and will have multiple viewing

areas for the public, including areas wherethe public can view the giraffes feeding. A

climate-controlled barn approximately 200-

by-100-feet in size to house the giraffes dur-

ing the winter will be attached to the exhib-

it. To make the exhibit visitor-friendly dur-ing the winter months, closed circuit cam-

eras will be installed in the barn so the

giraffes can be viewed on a video screen in

the Zoo Café.

The exhibit is being funded through the

Essex County Capital Budget and with agrant from the Essex County Recreation and

Open Space Trust Fund. It is scheduled to

open in the spring of 2016.

Turtle Back Zoo is located in Essex

County’s South Mountain Reservation andwas opened to the public in 1963.
