Paddle Tennis Hits List Of Varsity Sports In Chatham, First Of Its Kind At High School Level In Nation

By Megan McGaha he 2017-2018 school year has begun, and at Chatham High School, it’s bringing with it a new sport: Paddle Tennis.

Paddle Tennis is similar to outdoor tennis, but has a smaller court and a lower net. It’s also played with a solid paddle instead of a woven racquet.

Heather Ivans and Colin Schroeder are the first co-captains of the Chatham High School Varsity Paddle Team.

Heather finished second in the junior nationals with her partner, Stephanie Maluso, and was ranked second in the nation.

According to Paul Ivans, Sr., father of Heather and Paul Ivans, also a player on the team, “The students will practice and play matches three times per week, on Tuesdays, Wednesdays and Thursdays, under the supervision of coach Greg Morgan, and the guidance of Patty Hogan.” There may also be an occasional weekend match, he said, since there has been interest from Pennsylvania clubs, but they are just

T

too far away for an after-school match.

The Chatham Varsity Paddle Team is the first-ever high school varsity paddle team in the United States.

“Patty Hogan, the chair of the Juniors Programs for the APTA (American Platform Tennis Association), has been an amazing helper in coaching the kids for many years,” said Ivans, “And in helping the kids create the Chatham High School Paddle Club, and now team, and in helping to grow paddle as a sport across the USA.” While it’s first official season will take place in the winter, the activity has been in the making since 2015, when Chatham High School students Paul and Heather Ivans and Schroeder, who are all nationally ranked paddle players, decided they wanted to start a Paddle Club at Chatham High School (CHS).

“Their goal was to grow the sport with kids in town -- both with high school students, and also with younger kids in Chatham Middle School, to help

teach the sport to younger kids and build a pipeline of kids for the High School Program, said Ivans..

He and other parents were enlisted to help with the cause, as well as the APTA, and the Chatham School District. Two charitable organizations, the Chatham Athletic Foundation and the Chatham High School Athletic Boosters, assisted with funding. Chatham Fish & Game Club and the Noe Pond Club, two local clubs in Chatham, agreed to donate court time to the activity.

The Chatham School Board approved the activity as a club two years ago, and, according to Ivans about 60 students have signed up each year and approximately 20 participate on a weekly basis.

And the interest is expected to continue, as the high school set up clinics with the middle school where more than 60 students participated as well.

As of June, the Club was approved unanimously by the Chatham Board of Education as

973-330-1958 • 908-465-4202

a varsity sport for the upcoming winter paddle season. Ivans said they are expecting 18 to 20 students to participate in the sport, and 12 have already said they’ll play.

According to Bill Librera, assistant principal and athletic director of Chatham High School, paddle tennis players don’t get a physical education exemption for playing on the team, since the activity isn’t part of the physical education curriculum. Off campus, at the clubs who have donated court time to the sport, “students will participate versus one another and local competitions that arise,” said Librera.

“It is currently considered a varsity sport and its enrollment and sustainability will be needed to continue.”

Ivans said they wanted to make the club a sport, “to help grow the game as a recognized varsity sport across the country, grow it among more students in neighboring schools, create camaraderie among teammates, and have fun.”

Tax Relief Is Needed Now!

his is not about politics or partisan issues, the need for tax relief is what all Americans need to make our tax code simple, fair and easy to understand. Additionally, we need tax relief for families to have more disposable income to help grow the economy and provide for themselves. A competitive tax code will create more jobs and stimulate corporations to invest in America rather than trying to

take advantage of lower taxes overseas.

Please Sign the Petition at https://www.whitehouse.gov/ supporttaxreform?utm_campaign=opa as we need to send a strong message to Congress to pass the Tax Relief that we were promised by our President and get done Now!. .” Craig Heard, NJ TaxRelief Team.

It’s Time To Update Rose City’s History Book

By Anya Bochman he history book of the borough of Madison hasn’t been updated since 1985, something that the Madison Historical Society and the Madison Public Library plan to change in the near future.

Enlisting the help of Frank Esposito, author of the original book and distinguished professor of history and education at Kean University, the two entities have made plans to bring Madison up to modern times.

Partnering with Esposito is his fellow Kean University history professor, Brian Regal, his partner on another book project, as well. With illustrations to come from Madison Library photo archives and changes not only to the cover art, but the title as well, the original tome is being revamped.

David Luber, of the Madison Historical Society, explained that Regal will focus on events that have occurred since 1985, while Esposito will be making additions to the original work using re-

T

search that has been conducted since the book’s publication.

“A number of us went through the original volume and submitted a list of things that should be changed,” Luber said. “There has been an archeological dig on the Luke Miller House that suggests the Miller Forge isn’t a forge, as originally thought. There are also buildings and stores that have new names, references that are different now.”

The Historical Society is also seeking contributions from townspeople who may have valuable historical information about Madison.

“We’re more than happy to have people share valuable information,” said Susan Simon, a trustee of the society.

“People who lived through the 1960s and 70s are still around, so we thought now would be an appropriate time to use their accounts for an update,” Luber added.

Simon also commented on the possible change from the

“We’re considering something with ‘The Rose City’,” Simon said, referring to the city’s unofficial name, a nod to the post-revolutionary rose growing

History Book... continued from page 6 rounding towns, on land occupied by the Lenni Lenape Indians, Madison officially got its name in 1834, in honor of president James Madison.

The first history of Madison was written in 1855 by Samuel Lawrence Tuttle, a minister of the Presbyterian Church, who drew primarily on personal accounts by town residents. His work pro-

vides much of the book’s pre-Civil War history, with the rest of the information contributed by back issues of the “Madison Eagle,” dating to the 1870s.

“There is good history here,” Simon said. “It’s important that people know about it.”

The realization that Madison’s continuing history was in need of an update brought Simon and former Madison Library Di-

rector Nancy Adamczyk together to plan a revitalization of the now out-of-print and unavailable-for-purchase book.

Funding was secured from a bequest by Larry Taber, former town historian, who stipulated in his will that the money be used for historical purposes. This summer, the Historical Society and the library signed a contract to share the monies for updating Madison’s history. The funds will be used to compensate the authors, as well as secure a publisher, as the original publishing body – the Madison Bicentennial Committee – no longer exists.

Self-publishing is another possibility those involved are exploring.

Some of the town’s points of interest outlined in the original volume are Revolution-era Luke Miller House, the oldest existing house in Madison, which once belonged to Major Luke Miller; and the Anthony Wayne House, where General Wayne stayed during the Winter 1777 Morristown Encampment.

“Frank Esposito’s book is considered the go-to reference for townspeople for historical information,” said Luber. “The timing is perfect now for an update.”

Get Spooked This Fall When Hauntings’ Investigator Shares His Findings

By Stefanie Sears ordon Thomas Ward will be discussing his Ford Mansion haunting investigation as well as additional hauntings throughout the area on Sat., Oct. 28, at the Morristown National Historical Park auditorium located in the museum behind Ford Mansion.

Sounds like the perfect outing just in time for Halloween, does it not?

Ward is a writer and singer/ songwriter who occasionally incorporates his musical talents into his lecture presentations about his haunting investigations. He has been at this for about 40 years.

“I got into investigating places that were reported haunted because I grew up in a house that had a lot of activity in it,” Ward explains. “That got me interested in a very early age. It wouldn’t be what I call ‘investigation’ now.

When I started recording or taking notes, keeping a journal of what happened, when I was very young; maybe about 11 or 12. Then when I got into college I started investigating places on my own and then a little bit in groups.”

Ward studied at Fairleigh Dickinson University and majored in music and psychology.

He chose Ford Mansion as his latest venture after years of hearing about it. He performed volunteer work there and had obtained permission to begin his investi-

gation. He chose to share his evidence results but not cite them because he wanted to maintain a low profile on things.

When Ward embarks on his investigations, he brings along a camera and audio recorder and believes that the latter provides the best evidence because of the possibility of capturing a voice on a hard drive. He would spend a couple of hours at a location and sweep through the house to record readings and detect electromagnetic activity. However, this could also dupe hauntings investigators if they are unaware.

“There’s a room that has all of the alarms in an electric box, so there are high readings in there because that’s where the electricity is coming into the house,” says Ward.

Ward is familiar with the popularity behind haunting investigations inspired by TV and film, but states that he does not fall into this category and warns that it is best to know the difference between accurate and false findings.

“The paranormal investigators out there tend to run into different types of groups,” he says. There are people who have been keeping up with the field in terms of what people have been doing at a university level and pretty high caliber investigative level out there. That would be the group that I would fall into. And then there are other people that just watch some of these shows

on TV and they think ‘I can get a camera and I can go with some of my friends to this haunted location and take some pictures and we’ll scare ourselves. We’ll collect the proof of the haunting.’ Well, there is no proof at all. We can’t prove any of this stuff. We can investigate it, we can collect evidence, to support the existence of the haunting, but nobody can prove it…yet.

But we’re moving towards that area. You just have to be really careful about who you’re talking to and what types of experience they have.”

In other words, what some say is a ghost could just simply be a photo of light.

Of course, given the “spooky” associations involving paranormal activity, fear might be the ex-

pected outcome. However, Ward is not afraid.

“I’m very calm about this. I don’t think there is anything that people need to fear about this at all. A lot of the ideas that people get about paranormal investigation come from horror movies and really bad TV shows that give people that impression. In all my continued on page 9

For Ward, ghosts are just people.

“My take on what a ghost is that it’s just a person without skin,” he says. “It’s what is left of its human consciousness when the human heart of that passes

away. It’s sort of akin to walking down the street. There are all sorts of personalities of people that you are going to meet out there. Some are very nice, some are not so nice. That’s what you encounter with these spirits that inhabit these locations with activity.”

St. Hubert’s Brings Pets North From Hurricane Harvey Devastation

S

t. Hubert’s Animal Welfare Center mobilized its Sister Shelter WayStation program to welcome upwards of 100 dogs on August 29, the first animal flight to the northeast out of the area devastated by Hurricane Harvey.

“In cases like this, moving pets who were already in the shelter system helps provide capacity for animals displaced by the storm and keeps them close to home,” said Heather Cammisa, president and CEO of St. Hubert’s, who founded the WayStation program. “Our hearts are with the people and animals of Texas, and we and our partners will continue to help in the days, weeks and months to come.”

The airlift of dogs coming north, organized by the Humane Society of the United

States and provided by Wings of Rescue (wingsofrescue.org), brought dogs from San Antonio Animal Care and Control, which has been assisting the Houston region.

“HSUS is working to help the people and pets devastated by Hurricane Harvey,’’ said Kim Alboum, shelter outreach and policy engagement director at HSUS. “We could not do this life- saving work without our placement partners and our rescue partners on the ground. These pets are incredibly lucky to get a second chance through St. Hubert’s and their WayStation partners.”

St. Hubert’s planned to take the canines to its Madison campus. Following a respite for meals and exercise, many of the canines will transfer to partners along the northeast corridor.

Leg Pain - It Could Be A Pinched Nerve

By Dr. Joseph J. Murphy ou know the feeling all too well. After sitting for a period of time, you go to get up and you feel a deep, boring, aching sensation in the front of your thigh that extends to your knee. Sometimes you can even feel pain on the inside of your knee or on the side of your hip. You wonder to yourself, “Am I getting old? Do I have a problem with my hip? Is there a knee problem going on here? Did I pull a muscle in my leg? Is this the “sciatica” many people talk about?”

Leg pain, especially in the thigh or calf, is often caused by a pinched nerve in your back. Many people call any pain in the leg “sciatica”, but actually sciatica is only one specific type of leg pain and is caused when the sciatic nerve is irritated. Other leg pains may be caused when other nerves in the legs are irritated, and irritation usually starts in the back. When a “pinched nerve” causes leg pain often there is no back pain so people don’t associate the problem with their backs.

Dr. Joseph Murphy, Director of the Suburban Chiropractic Center explains, “There are many causes of leg pain. Not all problems are caused by a pinched nerve and not all pinched nerves originate from problems

Y

in the back, however, a great majority of them do”. Murphy continues: “Only pinching of the sciatic nerve causes sciatica and that pain is generally in the back portion of the leg. Pinching of other nerves in the leg can cause pain in other areas, for instance, often pain in the front of the thigh or pain towards the inside of the knee is caused by irritation of the femoral nerve. Many people find they have pain in their hip and their knee and think they have a problem in the hip or knee joint. After examination, it turns out that they actually have some pinching of their femoral nerve”.

Not all leg pain is caused by pinched nerves but a great majority is. How do you find out whether your leg pain is being caused by a pinched nerve? Dr. Murphy again explains, “The only way to find out the true cause of your leg pain is to have a thorough examination such as the type you get at the Suburban Chiropractic Center. A detailed case information and history as well as an orthopedic and neurological exam is performed to determine the cause of your leg pain”. He concludes: “If the leg pain is caused by a pinched nerve, it can often be treated successfully with conservative chiropractic care and other holistic physical medicine measures. Only a small minority

of cases require more drastic intervention such as surgery. Those that do are referred to the appropriate specialist”.

Do you suffer from pain in the back or front of your leg? A tingling or numbness in the feet or toes or a burning or aching sensation when you walk or sit? Find out the true cause of leg pain and have the cause corrected. Wouldn’t it be nice to live without leg pain?

Dr. Joseph Murphy has been the Director of the Suburban Chiropractic Center in Chatham, New Jersey for over 33 years. He is Past President of the New Jersey and Morris County Chiropractic Societies and is a Past President of the State Board of Chiropractic Examiners. An author and teacher, he is the anchor of Healthwatch on CTN television and a frequent guest on WMTR AM radio.

Dr. Murphy specializes in holistic healthcare and counsels his patients on other ways to maintain good health in areas such as exercise and nutrition. For more information on leg pain, contact him at the Suburban Chiropractic Center, 301 Main Street, Chatham at (973) 635-0036, or visit him on the web at www.drmurphy.com.

LEG PAIN You Don’t Have To Live With It!

That “searing, burning pain” in your thigh and calf... that “achy, numbing” feeling in your hip and buttocks... that “tingling” in your foot and loss of balance...it interferes with your ability to walk, to ride a bicycle, play golf, garden...to have FUN IN LIFE! Leg pain, thigh ache and numbness, and tingling in the foot may actually be caused by a pinched back nerve even though you have NO back pain - it could even be Sciatica.

Dr. Murphy is an expert at finding the CAUSE of your leg pain and numbness and CORRECTING IT WITHOUT THE USE OF DRUGS OR SURGERY.

Clean Up A Dog’s Diet With Healthier Choices

I

t is commonly known that what one eats affects well-being and health. Eating healthy clean diets keeps families healthy.

But what about pets? Pet owners want what is best

for them but it’s very difficult to figure out what best is. There is so much contradictory information and recommended kinds of food labeled as healthy and appropriate! Common sense can be used to filter the infor-

mation and make the best judgment call. If something is not healthy such as chemicals, high sugar or highly processed foods, they are most probably not that healthy for dogs either.

Look at sugar and

what it can do to a dog. Does the dog have itchy skin and scratches often; red stains on the face or pinkish stains on paws; yeasty ears; licks its paws or bites its nails; has strong odor to its body; has stinky puffy stool; is too chunky or overweight; prefers sleeping to playing; has achy joints?

If the answer is yes even to one of them, it may mean that the dog consumes food too high in sugar. Where does the sugar come from? Well, sugar in the form of starchy veggies such as corn, wheat, rice, potato, sweet potato or peas, is a large part of all dry kibble foods. Dry kibble food is a mix

of meat, or animal products, and starch and it’s physically impossible to make kibble without starches.

Some foods have more starch than the others. The more starch, the more likeliness for yeast, obesity, tiredness and inflammation.

So why is starch not that great for dogs?

In simple words, starch has very high glycemic

index which means it spikes glucose in the blood very fast, faster than white table sugar. That kind of sugar feeds yeast, alters gut flora or bacteria and promotes the inflammation. It creates the “sugar high” effect, when the person or the dog gets that surge of energy but then they are tired for a very long time. On the top of it, insulin continued on page 17

Clean Up A Dog’s Diet... continued from page 16 is a “fat hormone” that tells cells to store fat!

It’s yeast that makes dogs itchy, smelly and stains the fur in red, pink or brown color. Often, a simple change to the food with lesser amount of starch helps to get rid of the yeast to lessen the smell, itchiness and discoloration.

The same starch consumed in large quantities alters the stomach and gut flora as well as promotes inflammation. This may result in issues with proper digestion, or even worse, with leaky gut syndrome. The leaky gut syndrome is known well in humans – it’s when the gut lining becomes inflamed and gut flora seriously altered. The impaired gut lining allows bigger protein particles to get in to the blood stream which then creates allergic reaction to that protein. So, the food allergies may just be caused by food high in starch.

In humans, leaky gut syndrome

is also a possible cause of many autoimmune conditions.

Inflammation doesn’t only affect the stomach, but it may also affect other organs and joints.

This may be especially true if the dog has been eating a high starch food for a longer time.

Tired of picking up big, puffy and stinky poops? Thank starch for helping make such waste.

Starch doesn’t digest efficiently in a dog’s short and acidic digestive system so it’s expelled with the waste.

What should dogs be fed?

The simple answer is food with more meat and less starchy veggies and there are some great choices out there. But use logic and do the same homework with human foods – always read the ingredient list, look for natural high quality ingredient and consider the amount of starch that’s in the food. .

Taste Of Madison Planned For March

T

he Taste of Madison Organizing Committee recently announced that the 17th annual Taste of Madison will be held on Mon., March 19, at Brooklake Country Club in Florham Park.

A festive fundraising extravaganza that benefits several local non-profit programs, the Taste of Madison is a must-attend party for food and drink lovers and a celebration of the best of Madison, organizers said.

On March 19, chefs from Madison’s best restaurants will serve samples of their best dishes. Gary’s Wine & Marketplace, the event’s longtime presenting sponsor, will provide Taste guests with fine wine, beer and spirits, as will other local merchants.

The slogan for the 2018 event is “What Are You Doing March 19th? Meet Me @ The Taste.”

Always held in the first quarter of the year, the Taste of Madison was established in 2002 as a fun, town-wide cure for the winter

blues.

At their recent summer meeting, Taste organizers determined the time and place of the 2018 event. Organizers also reported that in its previous 16 editions, the Taste of Madison has raised more than $500,000 and entertained more than 7,000 guests.

The Taste of Madison Organizing Committee is a volunteer, non-profit partnership between the Madison Area Chamber of Commerce, the Madison Downtown Development Commission and the Rotary Club of Madison.

Taste proceeds fund charitable causes, civic improvements and business development in Madison.

For information about Taste corporate sponsorships and advertising opportunities, contact Karen Giambra, executive director of the Madison Chamber, at madisonchamber@gmail.com or 973-214-7014. Event tickets, which must be purchased in advance, will be available at Gary’s

Chatham Borough Farmers Market Brings Fresh Sources For Shoppers

F

armers Markets, as some may have heard before, are absolutely wonderful.

Not only do consumers receive fresh, local fruit, vegetables, and a myriad of other goodies, but they also get to experience a sense of community.

Furthermore, it helps the farmer. They get to sell their produce to paying customers, and they will use that money for their farm.

Since all the food is local, it cuts down on carbon emissions that are often generated by grocery stores when they transport food.

However, the Chatham Borough Farmers Market goes above and beyond the traditional Farmers Market. Yes, it has all of the great things that others do, but the C.B.F.M is certified Jersey Fresh. This means that all of the produce at the market is locally grown or made. Considering all of that, the pro-

Chatham’s Out Of The Darkness Walk To Support Suicide Prevention

he Chatham Township Committee will host its Second Annual Chatham Township Out of the Darkness Community Walk on Sept. 23 to benefit the American Foundation for Suicide Prevention.

The event will take place, rain or shine, at Cougar Field in Chatham Township. Participants can register as an individual, or as a team, by visiting www.afsp.org/ chathamtwp. Check-in/registration will begin at 4:30 p.m., while the walk will start at 5:30 p.m.

Individuals are also encouraged to ‘Like’ the Walk’s Facebook page at http://bit.ly/29SsLI9.

Mayor Curt Ritter, speaking on behalf of the committee, said: “Suicide does not discriminate and is preventable. We know that it’s not a topic that is often

duce is relatively inexpensive, especially when compared to high-end food chains, but even fresher.

What’s even better is that the market offers more than produce. Flowers, pastries, meats, dairy, and more can be found at the market, and all of these are sold by local vendors. And that “local” label is important. The vendors found at the market are small business owners. When purchased, the consumer is helping to support a farm and a family.

That’s amazing and exactly how this country was born.

In August, the C.B.F.M hosted a tomato tasting. More than 20 different versions of tomatoes were offered, and they were all cut up by enthusiastic volunteers.

The market will be in full swing every weekend until mid-November.

discussed, but we believe our efforts to shed light on this important issue through our annual Out of the Darkness Walk and community forums on suicide awareness and prevention can make a difference. Last year’s inaugural Walk attracted more than 500 walkers and raised in excess of $75,000 for the American Foundation for Suicide Prevention. We would like to do better this year, and I encourage all residents to consider participating in this important event and support our efforts to help prevent suicide.”

Individuals and local businesses that have an interest in sponsoring the Chatham Township Out of the Darkness Community Walk can learn more at http://bit. ly/2ftkx1u.

Suicide is the tenth leading

cause of death in the United States, and the 11th leading cause of death overall in New Jersey. The School District of the Chathams has reported that four percent of middle school students and eight percent of high school students have thought about suicide.

“These walks are about turning hope into action,” said AFSP CEO Robert Gebbia. “Suicide is a serious problem, but it’s a problem we can solve. The research has shown us how to fight suicide, and if we keep up the fight the science is only going to get better, our culture will get smarter about mental health, and we’ll be able to save more people from dying from depression and other mental health conditions.”

The Chatham Township Out

of the Darkness Walk is one of more than 375 Out of the Darkness Community Walks being held nationwide this year.

Hundreds of individuals from throughout Morris, Essex, and Union Counties are expected to participate in the Walk, which will support the AFSP’s local and national education and advocacy programs and its bold goal to reduce the annual rate of suicide 20 percent by 2025.

Earlier this year, the Chatham Township Committee hosted a community forum, “Talk Saves Lives,” in conjunction with the AFSP. Individuals can view a replay of the presentation at http:// www.chathamtownship-nj.gov/ talk-saves-lives.
