Denville Author’s Love for Local History Brings New Book
W
By Evan Wechman hen Denville’s own local historian and renowned author Peter Zablocki was growing up, he had no idea the role his childhood would have on his future success. Before his family migrated to the United States, he lived in Poland under a communist regime. Different viewpoints were not tolerated, and the teachers were forced to portray Russia in the most favorable light. After school, Zablocki would go home, and his parents would disagree with the many Pro-Russia talking points that were being shared at school. However, they asked Peter not to contradict anything being presented. This led to some confusion, but also a passion for learning more about history. According to Zablocki, “when I was a little kid, I learned there were different ways to look at something and history was a forbidden thing for me.” This lesson has helped Zablocki become a successful historian, professor, and writer. When Covid arrived in 2000 and the schools in New Jersey were shut down, Zablocki and his best friend Tom started a podcast called “History Teachers Talking.” Instead of the harsh back and forth heard on much of talk-radio today, Zablocki wanted to just discuss current topics from a historical perspective with a focus on the content being family friendly. “We (Peter and his co-host) started missing that connection of teaching and learning and people started listening and the number of listeners grew from hundreds to thousands, and it just blew up. The podcast was never meant to be a thing, but it became a thing, and it got picked up by a production company, Evergreen Podcasts last year.” Though the podcast is still popular, Zablocki who has published about eight books and counting, is awaiting the release of his latest nonfiction book “New Jersey and the Medal of Honor: A History.» This book, due out shortly, highlights Zablocki’s zest for finding the truth. In this latest work, he details the stories behind the 93 winners of the Medal of Honor who called New Jersey home. For instance, Zablocki shares the story of how Robert Augusts Sweeney became the first African American to win the award twice by risking his own life to save two different sailors from drowning at sea. The Denville writer is hoping his latest addition will inspire others who can feel his passion for history and storytelling, to do the same. “I’m hoping the book will inspire other historians across the United States to start doing the same thing and creating profiles of their own states.” Zablocki loves teaching history to students and has taught
at some great schools throughout the state. However, in the last few years, between the success of his podcast and the growing demand for his books, he has been challenged by time. “Between my podcast and my writing, I had little time to teach. I decided it was probably best to walk away but teaching is in my blood, and I love it and will pass on my enthusiasm of history to others and Sussex Community College allowed me the opportunity to do that.” Zablocki is an adjunct history professor at Sussex Community College which allows him to fulfill his desire to teach by having just a few classes while dedicating the rest of his time to his other pursuits. Zablocki believes his success as a writer holds many lessons for his students. Before he found prominent publishing houses to produce his books, he admits he knew little about the industry. But he quickly learned and kept trying until it became second nature. Zablocki says “ you never know until you try. It›s almost like just do it: sometimes it’s a phone call, sometimes it’s an email, and sometimes it’s just a letter. All three worked for me. We often think we can’t reach out to these people; that they are untouchable in a sense.” Zablocki tells his students to go out there and see what happens. “You never know until you try,” adds Zablocki.

Denville Education Foundation
Classroom and district-wide grants help teachers and administrators make a bigger difference
W
by Jeff Garrett ith school in session and students deep into studies, the time for tutors and extra help has arrived. Other dynamics are at work too. Teachers and school administrators are learning. They see strengths and weaknesses and have ideas on who needs help where, what teachers really need to make a difference as well as how students may learn subject matter differently. Luckily, there’s some outside help locally to help meet the challenge in The Denville Education Foundation. The Foundation runs with a mission that, “sometimes a small injection of funds can make a big change in how a teacher conducts a lesson, how a student experiences new material or how a principal inspires faculty.” The Foundation awards two types of grants: Classroom and District-Wide grants
for Kindergarten through 8th grade schools in Denville. Every grant awarded must make an impact; there are measurable outcomes which need to be met. Classroom grants account for one half of the organization’s annual total expenditures. Faculty members in the Denville Public School System are welcome to apply for these grants. Each recipient can get up to $1,000.00. District-Wide grants awards grants to Denville Public Schools based on a “wish list” of sorts generated annually by building and district administrators. Applications are accepted once a year in the Spring. Denville Public School administrators are eligible to obtain these grants ranging from $1000 to $5,000 and sometimes higher, as long as there is input from the faculty and staff of the districts. The Foundation holds fundraisers each year to raise money for the two grant funds.
The next fundraiser is the 13th Annual Charity Golf Outing Dinner and Live Auction on Monday, October 16 at Rockaway River Country Club. The Foundations Board of Trustees include Jeff Barnish as President and Linda Rodriquez as Vice President. Its Treasurer is Dave Pimenta and
Recording Secretary is Kristin Seib. Teacher Liasons include Connie Pillion at Lakeview, Jamie Kovacs at Valleyview and Kimberly Corvino at Riverview. Its Board of Education representative is Michael Anderson and Legal Advisors are Jennifer and Frederick Jackson and Mark Forand.

Junior Brianna Mennella Looking Forward to James Madison Spring Lacrosse
A
By Steve Sears fter a freshman season that saw her score her first collegiate hat trick, be named American Athletic Conference Freshman of the Week in March, and also be selected the James Madison University Athletic Director’s Scholar Athlete for the spring of 2023, former Morris Knolls High School lacrosse star, Brianna Mennella, will be ready to go when the calendar year changes. “Yes,” Mennella said, “I’m very excited.” And with good reason. The Dukes finished 19 – 3 last season, and Mennella played a huge part in that success. And, coincidentally enough, Mennella’s Morris Knolls Golden Eagles also finished 19 – 3 during her 2022 senior campaign. As a first-year James Madison midfielder last spring, Mennella had seven goals and nine assists, and had an excellent shots-on-goal percentage of .864 (19 out of 22 shots). The American Athletic Conference competition was stellar for the Dukes, the schedule populated with the likes of Florida, Cincinnati, Old Dominion, and Vanderbilt universities, while outside the conference loomed the University of North Carolina, Virginia Tech, Ohio State, and Maryland. For Mennella, it was a leap of going from high school to college, but she was prepared to handle it. She said, “It was a lot different; it was a lot faster here in college. We have the shot clock now, while in high school, we were
able to just hold the ball for a while if we were winning and just take possession. But now with the shot clock, we have to score and make decisions. We have a lot more plays in college than in high school.¨ Mennella at Morris Knolls was a three-sport athlete. She played volleyball just for one season, and on the hardwood scored 688 points for her career and grabbed 190 rebounds. However, it was in lacrosse that she truly excelled, scoring 228 career goals and 109 assists for 337 total points. COVID-19 robbed her of her and her teammates of their 2020 sophomore basketball and lacrosse seasons Mennella had the pleasure of playing Gaels lacrosse for coach Connor Rush during her junior and senior seasons. Mennella said, ¨It was a good experience. I had fun every single year. He was a good coach, really intense, and we had really good practices.” Rush also had his team do extra work a lot in the weight room, which was different for the Golden Eagles, who also never looked ahead on their schedule, but took each game and competitor one at a time. Mennella, the daughter of Michelle and Vincent Mennella, has two older sisters, Krista and Lia, and also a twin sister, Kira, with whom she played lacrosse at Morris Knolls. ¨We always knew where each other was on the field,” Mennella said. ¨She would always find me and assist me. It was always great playing with her.” Kira has moved on to the University of Georgia, where she plays club lacrosse,
and the duo keeps in touch regularly. Mennella, a Sports and Recreation major with a minor in Business at JMU, is focused on working hard and achieving her goals, including securing an internship in the future.

Advancements in Detecting and Treating Breast Cancer
D
By Mark J. Bonamo r. Motria Ukrainskyj, Medical Director of Breast Surgery at Saint Clare’s Health, remembers the moment in American culture when the critical need for the early detection of breast cancer symptoms prevailed over the embarrassment many women felt when faced with the onset of the disease. When Betty Ford and Happy Rockefeller went public with their breast cancer diagnoses, all of a sudden, it became acceptable to talk about it,” said Dr. Ukrainskyj. She was referring to the moment in the 1970s when the First and Second Ladies of the United States respectively went public
with their breast cancer diagnoses, helping to remove the stigma many felt regarding the disease. Dr. Ukrainskyj at Saint Clare’s Health is now leading the way in helping women bravely face the uncertainty and fear many feel when dealing with breast health problems. By providing exceptional care throughout the entire process, Saint Clare’s Health is helping women battle breast cancer using the most advanced treatments available. At the same time, Dr. Ukrainskyj and the breast surgical team take an individualized approach to treatments. The baseline age for when women should begin regular screening exams for breast cancer is 40 years
of age, according to Dr. Ukrainskyj. However, she points out that this baseline number could change depending upon certain factors. “Women should at a minimum get their first mammogram at age 40 and have an annual breast care checkup if the patient has no family history of breast cancer, or any other risk factors for breast cancer,” Dr. Ukrainskyj said. “But if you are a member of a higher risk group - for example, if your mother or any other member of your family developed breast cancer at a young age - then you want to get your first screening 10 years earlier than the youngest member of the family continued on page 8

continued from page 6 diagnosed with breast cancer, but no later than age 40. Following this simple guideline is one of the best ways to stay safe in terms of early detection, which is critically important when it comes to breast health.” If there is a finding of an abnormality after a breast cancer screening, patients have many more options, and therefore less reason to worry. “Today, with better screening modalities, such as digital mammography and tomosynthesis, mammograms have become more accurate at detecting lesions at the earliest stages,” Dr. Ukrainskyj said. “And women are now much more aware and attuned as to what to do if they think that they have breast cancer, malignancies are being found even when they are not immediately felt, making it much easier to take care of them because they are caught at an earlier stage.” A key component in detecting breast cancer early is through technological advances in digital mammography. These improvements include the invention of tomosynthesis, or “3D” mammography. Tomosynthesis is a new type of digital x-ray mammogram, which creates 2D and 3D-like pictures of the breasts. This tool improves the ability of mammography to detect early breast cancers, and decreases the number of women “called back” for additional tests for findings that are not cancers. Dr. Ukrainskyj called tomosynthesis a critical component of breast care at Saint Clare’s. “We have the ability to take patients from mammograms, through testing and biopsies, and then to surgery, if necessary,” she stated.
“At Saint Clare’s Health, we only offer the most advanced 3D tomosynthesis technology. As I share with our patients, the breast is three-dimensional. A mammogram is a twodimensional image. With digital tomosynthesis technology, the radiologist is not only seeing two views of the breast, but they are also able to move visually in and out of the breast view,” Dr. Ukrainskyj said. It is especially helpful for patients who have dense breasts “Our use of tomosynthesis technology at Saint Clare’s Health enables us to detect cancers that may not otherwise be seen with regular digital mammography.” To help patients effectively respond with the impact of a breast cancer diagnosis, Saint Clare’s offers the Nurse Navigator program as a way to share and manage important medical information, as well as offer vital personal support during what is a daunting process for anyone facing a medical crisis. “Our Nurse Navigators are individuals with nursing backgrounds who are interested in helping patients through the process and who have received special training to guide and support the patients in the best way possible,” Dr. Ukrainskyj said. “If a patient has a finding on a mammogram that will require a biopsy, the Nurse Navigator will then bring the patient into her office and explain the biopsy process - what’s being done, why it’s being done, and how it’s going to be done.” Saint Clare’s Health has always had a focus on individualized patient care. “You’re working with a patient who has a disease that has such an emotional impact on them. You can’t help to
get to know them well. I can’t tell you how many photos I’ve seen of graduations, weddings, grandchildren, and great-grandchildren, all of which show that patients can live and thrive after a breast cancer diagnosis.” “As a physician, I am committed to providing exceptional patient care, supported by advanced technology, and to treating each of my patients as if they are my own family. In fact, the entire staff at Saint Clare’s Health is dedicated to individualized, quality care. That’s what Saint Clare’s Health does so well. You are never a number, but a unique person. That’s what we do every day.” Dr. Ukrainskyj proudly states For more information, please visit www.saintclares.com or call the Saint Clare’s Women’s Health Center at 973-5375665.

4 Fun Facts about the Month of October
C
anadians celebrate Thanksgiving each October. While October may not be home to Thanksgiving in the United States, Americans, much like their Canadian counterparts, have much to be thankful for in the tenth month of the calendar year. Fall temperatures tend to be at their most accommodating in October, which also happens to be home to Halloween. Those are not the only interesting and fun facts about this popular month. 1. October has something of a misleading name. Licensed drivers undoubtedly know that the prefix “octo” means eight, which is why Stop signs are octagons. So why does October, the tenth month of the year, have a name that suggests it should be the eighth month of the year? That peculiarity
can be traced to the early Roman calendar, which featured just 10 months, the eighth of which was October. The Romans eventually converted to a 12-month calendar, and October kept its name despite becoming the tenth month of that calendar. 2. Some notable individuals have holidays in their honor in October, including two on the same day. This year, Monday October 9, 2023, is both Columbus Day and Leif Erikson Day. It’s fitting that each figure’s holiday falls on the same day, as both are among history’s more well-known explorers. Columbus Day commemorates the arrival of Christopher Columbus in the Americas in 1492, while Leif Erikson Day celebrates a man believed to be the first known European to set foot in continental North America.
3. Columbus Day might court its fare of fanfare (and controversy), but its popularity cannot match that of October’s most beloved day to celebrate: Halloween. Halloween is celebrated on October 31 and History.com notes this can be traced to ancient Celts. The Celts celebrated the festival of Samhain on October 31, the night before their new year. They did this because they believed that night marked the return of the ghosts of the dead to earth. That emphasis on the ghoulish is present each Halloween as well. 4. October is considered a great time of year to take a road trip, and much of that reputation can be traced to fall foliage. Leaves begin to change color in many regions in early October, and the resulting colorful landscape is beautiful to behold. Though
some may presume the shift in color in October is due to the month’s typical drop in temperature, it’s actually due to a decrease in sunlight. According to the Farmer’s Almanac, leaves begin to lose their green color when photosynthesis from sunlight slows down, which happens because the hours of daylight dwindle considerably during the month of October. That lack of sunlight causes chlorophyll to break down, which in turn causes leaves to change color. But not all leaves will look the same, as any leaf-peeping pro will know. Some leaves turn red, while others turn brown, orange or yellow. The trees that turn red get more direct sunlight in October, while those that get less direct sunlight turn brown, orange or yellow.

Edwin “Buzz” Aldrin Jr – Dr. Rendezvous
W
By Henry M. Holden hile there have been 12 astronauts who walked on the Moon, two names are instantly recognizable; the late Neil Armstrong, the first man to walk on the Moon, and Buzz Aldrin, who followed Armstrong down the ladder of the Lunar Module Eagle, in 1969. But, of all the astronauts who walked on the Moon, none has become more famous than Aldrin. Edwin “Buzz” Aldrin, Jr. was born January 20, 1930, and raised in Montclair N.J.. He is a former astronaut, and graduated from West Point, third in his class, with a mechanical engineering degree. He flew 66 combat missions in F-86 Sabre jets in Korea and shot down two Russian-built Mig-15 airplanes and won the Air Force Distinguished Flying Cross. At the age of 80, Aldrin made news with his performance on Dancing with the Stars. But long before he danced with the stars, he was the inspiration for Disney’s Buzz Lightyear. In January 1963, six-and-a-half years before the first Moon landing, Aldrin earned a degree of Doctor of Science from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT), for his 311-page thesis “Line-of-
Sight Guidance Techniques for Manned Orbital Rendezvous,” earning Aldrin the sobriquet “Dr. Rendezvous” among his peers. At the time he was a Major in the U.S. Air Force and had yet to be selected as an astronaut. The Mercury Program was winding down, and Project Gemini, with its explicit requirement for testing rendezvous in space was ramping up. Aldrin specifically mentions the Gemini Program in an abstract of his thesis. Early on, Aldrin did not believe that Gemini program was using the astronauts effectively to work outside space vehicle. “We used microgravity training and flights in parabolic airplanes. But that did not improve the situation. I was a certified nine-year SCUBA diver and understand that underwater simulates weightlessness. I introduced it to NASA, and they agreed to give it a try. It worked; our EVAs became very productive.” Before that he served as the Apollo 11 lunar module pilot, in 1966, he performed three periods of extravehicular activity (EVA) totaling five hours, 30-minutes aboard Gemini 12. On May 25, 1962, President John F. Kennedy prompted Americans to “… choose to go to the Moon in this decade and do the

other things, not because they are easy, but because they are hard.” On July 17, 1969, thousands converged on the Kennedy Space Center, in Florida, and millions tuned in to watch live television. Soon, the ground began shaking as a small
spacecraft attached to the giant Saturn V rocket several hundred feet tall started lifting off. It was quickly propelled to reach an orbital speed of 18,000 miles per hour. Apollo 11, Buzz Aldrin. Michael Collins and continued on page 16

for the standing, sold out crowd. On the jumbo-trons, the silhouette through the smoke of this legendary band as they took the stage. Duran Duran is as much showmanship as it is talent and the front-man, Simon Le Bon played it
off deftly. Opening the evening with “Night Boat”, the band peeled of three more songs (The Wild Boys, Hungry Like the Wolf and View to a Kill) in rapid fire succession whipping the crowd in a frenzy. This after all is a band that sold over 100 million records. It is a band that had the same fever of Beatle Mania in the early 1980’s. Credited with ushering in the new romantic scene, the band was at the forefront of the new wave movement. With the three Taylor’s, Nick Rhodes and Simon Le Bon, the evening also featured two excellent backing woman and a sensational saxophonists. In the evenings set-list the band mixed in rock, pop, a little disco and its standard new wave. “Lonely in Your Nightmare” was blended with a sensational “Super Freak”, a Rick James cover. “Is There Something I Should Know” had a popish vibe to it. Back in the early 1980’s, Duran Duran had its first hit with “Girls on Film”. The band’s breakthrough, however, was its next album, “Rio” in 1982. It would be the bands third album, Seven and the Ragged Tiger that would hit number 1 in both the UK and the US. In 1985 “A View to a Kill” would chart at number 1 in the US. The mid to late 80 and the early 90’s were rough on Duran Duran as they saw their success wane. In 1993 with the release of “Ordinary World” and “Come Undone”, they would return to the top 10 worldwide. From 1997 the band would release albums that under performed both critically and sales wise. In 2001, Rhodes, Le Bon and all three Taylor’s reunited to produce “Astronaut”. In 04, the album reached number 3 in the UK. The band would be inducted into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame in 2022. In just under two hours Duran Duran gave the audience a feel good concert. Simon Le Bon teased the crowd with some old antidotes of yesteryear. He spoke about the band really getting its start in Long Island, New York. It was no wonder that many of the bands fans were dressed in 80’s/ 90’s fashion. Adding to the by-gone era was the savvy staging and projections. Some of the finest that I have seen at any concert. Upbeat and pithy, the lights, the stage and projection fueled the energy that Duran Duran provided. While every song that the band performed last night, it was the first four songs and the evenings last five songs that really stood out. Ending with Grandmaster Flashes “White Lines”, “The Reflex”, “Girls on Film” and the evenings two encores: “Save a Prayer” and ending with “Rio” was the perfect start and the perfect finish to this storied bands career. As a warm up band Chic/ Nile Rodgers had as much energy as Duran Duran. Many of the crowd were there as much for Chic as Duran Duran. A staple in the 80’s, Chic too was excellent performing “le Freak” (opening song),”Everybody Dance”, “Dance, Dance, Dance”, “I Want Your Love”, two by the late great David Bowie (Modern Love, Let’s Dance) and ending with “Good Times/ Rapper’s Delight” There has been many great concerts this year that I was fortunate to attend; Duran Duran and Chic was right up there with the top concerts. Both bands had such great timing, showmanship and energy and for almost three hours it permeated throughout Forrest Hills. The fans really had a thrill to go back in time and bask in some really great memories!

I Remember Dad:
Fond Memories of the Appalachian Trail
From Autumn of 1970. Dad is standing on the far right hand side of this picture. I am standing next to my father. Mr. Crooks took this picture.
M
By Richard Mabey Jr. y father firmly believed that when a boy hiked in the woods, for four or five days, he could not help but come to a greater understanding that God really does exist. That there is a Wisdom guiding the universe, that is much greater than that of the smartest person on earth. My father would often cite the example of God’s infinite wisdom, in that trees absorb carbon dioxide and release oxygen. Thus providing us with an essential element of life. In the midst of Autumn, I remember there was always something called “The Teachers’ Convention” that would be a time when there would be no school. It was usually on a Wednesday, Thursday and Friday. It was during “The Teacher’s Convention” that Dad would schedule a four or five day sojourn of the Appalachian Trail for Boy Scout Troop 170. We would start in upper New York
State and usually end our hike of the AT in Fayetteville, Pennsylvania, along Route 30, which is also known as the Lincoln Highway. It would be a time of contemplation, of enjoying conversations with friends, of learning the hard lessons of self reliance, and also of learning the importance of water. For me, it was a golden opportunity to know my dad a little better. We would hike beneath the golden yellow, the rusty red, and burnt orange leaves of the elm, the oak and the maple, for miles and miles and miles. The sun would glisten between the tree branches. The wind would create a gentle breeze. Squirrels would rustle the branch endings of trees. From time to time, a group of deer would be seen by a stream. And, we were always mindful of keeping an eye out for snakes. In the Late Autumn of 1970, I was in my senior year of high school. That year, only continued on page 15

I Remember Dad... continued from page x one other scout leader was able to go on the long walk in the woods. Mr. Thomas Crooks was Troop 170’s newest Committeeman. He was not an experienced hiker. His son, Tommy Jr., had also just joined Troop 170. I remember that about a week before we went on the hike, Dad and I were working on a project at my father’s basement workbench. Dad simply said to me, “Richie, I’m glad that you’re going on this hike with Celebrating 50 Years
us. I’ll be leaning on you a lot.” I still cherish the remembrance of those words that my dad sincerely said to me. When you hike the Appalachian Trail, everything you need for your hike is on your back, inside your framed backpack. Although your sleeping bag is generally tied to the bottom of your big backpack. But your food, your tarp to sleep under, your change of clothes, your poncho, is all in your

backpack. Plus, the weight of your canteen pulls down upon one of your shoulders. It really is not an easy undertaking at all. I was very studious in high school and would regularly make the honor roll. My application for Eagle Scout was now at the National Boy Scout Headquarters in New Brunswick. It was now just a matter of being processed, before being able to be presented with the coveted rank of Eagle Scout. Just about every week, I wrote an article for the old Lincoln Park Herald. It was somewhere in Eastern Pennsylvania, along the Appalachian Trail, that Dad decided it was time for all the scouts to take a break for lunch. Dad and I sat on this big boulder and ate our peanut butter and jelly sandwiches. Mr. Crooks was a bit of a distance from us, eating lunch with his son. The other scouts had all found logs, fallen trees, and boulders to sit upon to eat their lunches. A kind of comfortable silence fell between my father and I as we at our sandwiches. I remember that Dad looked down upon the earth, looked out to see all the boys happily eating their lunches, taking sips of water from their canteens. Then Dad
looked out to the horizon. “I’m proud of you son. You know your life’s gonna be a lot different when you start college. Your studies are going to take a lot of your time. This might well be the last big hike we take together,” Dad said as he looked into the horizon, then took a momentary look into my eyes. “You’ll do well, I know you will,” Dad said to me in a rather quiet voice. “Thanks Dad,” I said to my father. “I’ll do my best.” “I know you will son,” Dad replied. A silence fell between Dad and I for a few moments in time. “Well, we better get these boys moving. We’ve got ground to cover,” Dad said to me. I called the boys together. Most of the scouts had finished eating their sandwiches. And once again we all began the fun, the adventure, the enchanted wonder of hiking the old Appalachian Trail.

Edwin “Buzz” Aldrin Jr...
continued from page 10 Neil Armstrong were on their way to a historic first landing on the Moon. At 4:17 pm, July 20, 1969, time stood still throughout the world. Neil Armstrong announced to the world “The Eagle has landed.” The Eagle Luner Module carried “Buzz” Aldrin and Neil Armstrong, the third astronaut, Michael Collins, remained aloft to pilot the Apollo 11 spacecraft. After Aldrin returned to Earth he went on a speaking tour. “We did lots of parades, 25 cities in 40 days.” “What do I do next?” he thought. Despite reaching the peak of his fame and career before the age of 40, Aldrin continued to work in the field and has been one of the most effective advocates of further space travel, particularly to Mars. His wife said, “All the pressures and expectations were too much. He crashed and burned as the expression goes. It was a combination of depression which leads to alcoholism. But he did get help, and in 2023 he celebrated 37 years of sobriety.” In May of 2016, Aldrin attended the “Humans to Mars 2016” conference. In his remarks, Aldrin said NASA should make essential changes to the approach it has used since the 1960s. He feels NASA should get out of the business of designing and managing the development of its own rockets and spacecraft. He critiqued the space Launch System (SLS) vehicle, saying it was a government design, based on 1970s technology, that went into the space shuttle program. “It competes with the private sector,” Aldrin said. “I thought most of us were in the process of learning that the government shouldn’t do that.” Aldrin was referring to efforts by SpaceX to develop the Falcon Heavy rocket. The Falcon Heavy has a launch
R CALL FO R U O Y L VIRTUA G! N I M E ET
capacity of 54 metric tons to low-Earth orbit (LEO). The SLS will have an initial capacity of 70 metric tons, and independent estimates suggest the SLS will cost more than the Falcon Heavy for each launch by at least a factor of 10. Gemini XII marked a successful conclusion of the Gemini program, achieving the last of its goals by successfully demonstrating that astronauts can effectively work outside a spacecraft. This was instrumental in paving the way for the Apollo program to achieve its goal of landing a man on the Moon by the end of the 1960s. Aldrin recalls, “With Gemini 12’s landing there was an unequivocal realization, by all astronauts, and NASA itself: that we had only three years left to accomplish Kennedy’s challenge to land a man on the moon by the end of the decade. “Yes, Jim and I were the link. They prepared us for the Apollo missions to the moon, but we still had major work to do.” By early 1969, NASA made it clear the agency intended to land astronauts on the moon in July. The month leading up to Apollo 11’s success highlighted just how many people were involved in the mission. In fact, over 400,000 people worked behind the scenes on just the Apollo 11 mission. From engineers, scientists, administrators, cleaning crews and more, it took an enormous collaborative effort to complete this seemingly impossible task. That work paid off on July 20, 1969, when an estimated 600 million people around the globe sat, glued to their television sets to watch the crew’s historic first steps on the moon.

If you could go to Mars today the spacecraft would leave Earth at a speed of about 24,600 mph. The trip to Mars will take about seven or eight months and about 300 million miles. This is not practical, and Aldrin has an alternate solution, his Aldrin Cycler. In 1985, Aldrin theorized a so-called Aldrin Cycler corresponding to a single synodic period. The synodic period is the time taken for a given object to make one complete orbit around another object. Later that year, scientists at the JPL and graduate students at Purdue University confirmed and calculated the existence of such trajectories: a single elliptical loop around the Sun, from Earth to Martian orbit would take 146 days, just under five months and another 146 days from the Martian orbit back to Earth. This would chop four to five months off the current plan NASA has to get people to Mars. A Mars cycler (or Earth–Mars cycler) is a spacecraft trajectory that encounters Earth and Mars regularly. The Aldrin cycler is an example of a Mars cycler. No propulsion is required to shuttle between the two, although some minor corrections may be necessary due to small fluctuations in the orbit. Cyclers are potentially useful for transporting people or materials between those bodies using minimal propellant (relying on gravity assist flybys for most trajectory changes) and can carry heavy radiation shielding to protect people in transit from cosmic rays and solar storms. NASA’s Artemis Moon program which will land people on the Moon in 2025 is thought to be a possible staging area for a future trip to Mars slated for 2040.

T
By Steve Sears odd Nichols recalled his earliest love for music. He said, “It was in the seventh grade. I can actually remember that in the yearbook for Thomas Jefferson Middle School, they asked you for an ambition.” Nichols’ entry? To someday become a professional musician. “I was a drummer, played professionally for 25 years while I taught high school. My dream as a little kid was to be the drummer for the Count Basie Orchestra.” He never attained that “dream,” but he accomplished something much more important. For himself, yes, but most importantly, for others. “I’ve been very, very blessed to have some incredible students,” Nichols said. “And I would say some of the most memorable ones, the ones that truly resonated, were some of my students for whom maybe going to school was challenging for them. They would come back after they graduated and said that it was being in band, being in music, and being in these ensembles that helped get them through and make it to graduation. Those to me were always the ones that really hit home.”
Nichals since 2019 has been the Rutgers University Director of Bands, and now oversees the entire program for concert ensembles, the marching band, and three prep bands. Nichols is also in year two of his Presidency of the Big Ten Band Directors Assocation. His term runs through 2024. The 47-year-old Nichols, who was born in Denville and grew up in Rockaway, attended Morris Hills High School. He was raised by his mom, Sandy, who passed away a few years ago, and his dad, Tom, also a Morris Hills alum. He has one younger sister, Tracey. Nichols, who graduated Morris Hills High School in 1994, credits his high school band director, Mchael Sopko, with giving him encouragement. “He was my high school band director, and he was very supportive and very encouraging. And not just to me. It is interesting that there are a lot of musicians who came out of Morris Hills High School who are doing just really incredible things. There are people who are out on Broadway, there are musical directors, there are college band directors, there are people teaching and playing professionally. Such a

continued from page 18 was super encouraging to me my whole time through.” After high school, Nichols headed to what was then called Trenton State College (now called the College of New Jersey) where he received his BM in Music in 1998, and thereafter his MM in Conducting from Pennsylvania’s Messiah College. While he has been teaching at Rutgers University, he received in 2022 his DMA in Conducting from the Mason Gross School of the Arts. Nichols’ first teaching roles were at Edison High School from 1998 to 2004, and Roxbury High School from 2004 to 2017. Nichols said, “Both communities are still to this day very special to me for different reasons. The Edison band and the Edison community was a place that was very serious about what they did, wanting to progress, and grow and get better. It was a great place to start teaching, a great place to be able to build something - a program full of really special, hardworking and caring people. Roxbury was very much the same way. The time spent at Roxbury was about trying to create opportunities for the students that maybe had not existed prior. There were a lot of first-time national performances for those bands and experiences that I will certainly never forget. At Edison, it was me and just a couple of colleagues, and when I was at Roxbury, there were seven of us who were working towards that common goal. It was just another community that really believed in music, really believed in what we were doing.” Through the years, the bands that Nichols has directed have performed for some very prestigious folks and at
worthy locations. In 2008, the Roxbury band was the first band ever to perform at the prestigious Midwest Band & Orchestra Clinic, and to date they are the only high school from New Jersey that has ever performed at the conference. The Roxbury High School Wind Symphony has been on stage at both Avery Fisher Hall and Carnegie Hall in New York City and took part in 2014’s Super Bowl XLVIII halftime show. And Nichols, conductor of both the Eastern Wind Symphony and Garden State Symphonic Band, in 2016 was elected to the American Bandmasters Association/American School Band Directors Association, and was also invited to conduct the United States Army Field Band. “That was pretty great,” he said of the latter experience. “That was while I was teaching at Roxbury when they came into town, and Colonel (Tim) Holtan was kind enough to extend an invitation and ask if I wanted to do a piece with the group. That was very, very special.” Nichols moved on in 2017 to Rutgers, and when he started there, he was the Director of Athletic Bands and the Associate Director of Bands while teaching at the school. His Marching Scarlet Knights have performed for former Vice-President (and current President), Joseph Biden, and during halftime on Monday Night Football. And next up just might be the crème de la crème: an appearance in this year’s Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade. Nichols said, “It’s a very exciting time for us right now. In addition to the fact that this is the first time in our school’s history that the Rutgers Marching Band has ever been accepted to march in the Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade, we have had some really great interest in the band
program in that we are the largest we have ever been. We are going to be taking 350 students to this parade, and we are trying to make sure that the impression that is made and the experience that is created for our students is, ‘You’re going to get one shot at this for it to be a lifetime memory for those involved.’ The students are super excited about it, and our staff is super excited about it. We are doing everything we can to really make sure that we represent our university the best we possibly can.” As special as a music and teaching career is for Todd Nichols, it is superseded by his love for his family. He and his wife, Beth, will in May 2024 be married for 25 years, and they are proud parents of two daughters. Nichols said, “Sarah, who is a freshman now at Rutgers, is a Cognitive Science and Linguistics major. She wants to be a Speech and Language Pathologist, and our youngest daughter, Emily, is a sophomore at Immaculata high school. Anytime I am able to have time with my family is the most important thing. It gets tougher as we get older, and everybody is terribly busy. But to me, any time that I could have with my girls and my wife is the most important time I can have. It always makes me happy, no matter what.” And there are those he has educated in the past, and the ones he teaches now. As far as his career and love of music goes, Nichols’ reward for his hard work is experiencing the reactions and happiness of his students. “When they achieve a goal that they thought they maybe could not, makes me happy that they are happier than anything else.”

I Remember Mom: The Last Flower
M
By Richard Mabey Jr. iracles often come into our life, without a great deal of fanfare. Sometimes, the miracles of our lives do not involve a parting of a sea or a burning bush. Sometimes, the gentle brush of an angel’s wings is so subtle and ethereal that it can easily be overlooked. Simply put, some of the small miracles in our lives, may well be taken for granted. But none-theless, they are very real miracles. Such a miracle came to my mom, Janet Ethel Kemmerer Mabey, in the time of early Spring of 2018. My mom, my sister Patti and myself traveled the long car ride from Florida to New Jersey. None of us knew it at the time, but it was to be Mom’s last visit to Knothe Farms, the home of her beloved sister, Alice Kemmerer Knothe. When Spring Time comes, my cousin Peter Knothe is all so busy managing his family farm. It is a long standing tradition that one or two of his many greenhouses will be the home for rows and rows of planted flowers. It provides a poetic panorama of a rainbow of colors of all the various types of flowered plants that Peter has growing on the wooden tables inside his greenhouses. One of the long-standing family traditions of Mom and Aunt Alice, is to take
the time to walk the length and breadth of the flower-filled greenhouses to find just the right flowers to plant at the grave sites of their late brothers and sisters, parents and grandparents. It is a rather solemn and heart warming kind of thing. It was a tradition that would always have a quality of reverence about it. When we reached the cemetery, I carried the many flats of flowers that were to be planted at the portion of the cemetery that was devoted to the Kemmerer Family. As I knelt upon the grassy ground, digging out holes to plant the many flowers, I could not help but to overhear my mom and aunt talking. “I think this is the last time, I’ll ever get to visit Mom and Dad’s graves,” Mom quietly told her sister. “Oh come on Janet, you’ve still got a lot of time on this old earth,” Aunt Alice replied. “No, Alice, I can feel it in my bones. I can feel the angels calling me Home,” Mom solemnly replied to her sister’s attempt to uplift Mom. “Don’t talk like that Janet, you’ve still got a lot of years ahead of you,” Aunt Alice replied, in what was a bit more of stern reply.
From the Spring of 2028, Mom (left hand side) and Aunt Alice at the gravestone of their grandparents, Lefennas and Alavesta Kemmerer.
“No, Alice, I just have this inner knowing. It’s a feeling that I can’t really explain,” Mom told her sister. After I planted a good two dozen
flowering plants, Mom, Aunt Alice, Patti and I left the cemetery. I remember that we had a late lunch at the Randolph Diner. continued on page 24

What to Know About Breast Lumps
B
reast cancer is a cause for concern for millions of women. Each year about 264,000 cases of breast cancer are diagnosed in women in the United States, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. The Canadian Cancer Society indicates around 28,600 Canadian women will be diagnosed with breast cancer this year. Globally, data from the World Health Organization indicates roughly 2.3 million women were diagnosed with breast cancer in 2020. One of the more notable symptoms of breast cancer is the presence of a lump in the breast. Though not all lumps are malignant, it’s important that women learn about breast anatomy and lumps as part of their preventive health care routines. Mount Sinai says that breast lumps can occur at any age in both men and women. Hormonal changes can cause breast enlargement and lumps during puberty, and boys and girls may even be born with lumps from the estrogen received from their mothers. It is important to note that the vast majority of breast lumps are benign. The National Institutes of Health says 60 to
80 percent of all breast lumps are noncancerous. The most common causes of breast lumps are fibroadenomas and fibrocystic changes. Fibroademomas are small, smooth, moveable, painless round lumps that usually affect women who are at an age to have children, indicates the Merck Manual. They are non-cancerous and feel rubbery. Fibrocystic changes are painful, lumpy breasts. This benign condition does not increase a woman’s risk for breast cancer. Symptoms often are worse right before one’s menstrual period, and then improve after the period begins. Additional factors can contribute to the formation of lumps. Breast cysts are fluid-filled sacs that likely go away on their own or may be aspirated to relieve pain. Complex cysts may need to be removed surgically. Sometimes cysts also may form in milk ducts throughout the breasts. Lumps also may be the result of injury. Blood can collect under the skin and form a type of lump called a hematoma. Other lumps may be traced to lipomas, which is a collection of fatty tissue or breast abscesses, which typically occur if

a person is breastfeeding or has recently given birth. Additional causes of lumps can be discussed with a doctor. Though the majority of lumps are not a cause for concern, it is important for people to regularly feel their breasts to check for
abnormalities. Doctors may recommend annual mammograms to women age 40 and older. In its earliest stages, breast cancer may produce little to no visible symptoms, but a mammogram may be able to catch something early on.

By the end of that year, there were nearly eight million women alive who had been diagnosed with the disease in the previous half decade. A breast cancer diagnosis inevitably leads to questions about the disease. The bulk of those questions undoubtedly are asked by the millions of women who are diagnosed with breast cancer. But millions more individuals, including friends and family members of recently diagnosed women, may have their own questions. Women can discuss the specifics of their diagnosis with their physicians. In the meantime, the following are some frequently asked questions and answers that can help anyone better understand this potentially deadly disease. What is breast cancer? Cancer is a disease marked by the abnormal growth of cells that invade healthy cells in the body. Breast cancer is a form of the disease that begins in the cells of the breast. The National Breast Cancer Foundation notes that the cancer can then invade surrounding tissues or spread to other areas of the body. Can exercise help to reduce my breast cancer risk? The NBCF notes that exercise strengthens the immune system and women who commit to as little as three hours of physical activity per week can begin to reduce their risk for breast cancer. However, even routine exercise does not completely eliminate a woman’s risk of developing breast cancer. Is there a link between diet and breast cancer? The organization Susan G. Komen®, a nonprofit source of funding for the fight
against breast cancer, reports that studies have shown eating fruits and vegetables may be linked to a lower risk for breast cancer, while consuming alcohol is linked to an increased risk for the disease. In addition, the NBCF reports that a high-fat diet increases breast cancer risk because fat triggers estrogen production that can fuel tumor growth. Is there a link between oral contraceptives and breast cancer? The NBCF reports that women who have been using birth control pills for more than five years are at an increased risk of developing breast cancer. However, the organization notes that risk is very small because modern birth control pills contain low amounts of hormones. Can breastfeeding reduce breast cancer risk? Breastfeeding and breast cancer are linked, though the NBCF notes that the role breastfeeding plays in lowering cancer risk depends on how long a woman breastfeeds. The World Cancer Research Fund International notes that evidence indicates that the greater number of months women continue breastfeeding, the greater the protection they have against breast cancer. Is there a connection between stress and breast cancer? The NBCF notes that researchers have found that traumatic events and losses can alter how the immune system functions, which can provide an opportunity for cancer cells to establish themselves within a person’s body. The NBCF urges women to identify ways to keep their stress levels in check. Breast cancer education can be a valuable asset as women seek to reduce their risk for the disease.

What Distinguishes the Different Types of Breast Cancer?
ndividuals can experience a whirlwind of emotion upon being diagnosed with cancer. No one ever expects to receive such a diagnosis, so the moment a physician delivers such news can be emotional and compromise a person’s ability to focus. Once those emotions settle down and individuals resolve to overcome the disease, they typically have a lot of questions. One of the questions doctors will attempt to answer is which subtype of cancer a person has. For example, when doctors initially deliver a breast cancer diagnosis, they may explain that further testing will be necessary to determine precisely which type of breast cancer an individual has. Identifying the subtype of breast cancer helps doctors choose the most effective course of treatment, but it’s understandable if patients and their families become confused during the process. The following rundown can help breast cancer patients understand this crucial next step after diagnosis. How is breast cancer type determined? The American Cancer Society notes that breast cancer type is determined by the
specific cells in the breast that become cancer. The Mayo Clinic reports that a medical team will use a tissue sample from a patient’s breast biopsy or, for patients who have already undergone surgery, the tumor to identify the cancer type. What are the types of breast cancer I might be diagnosed with? There are many types of breast cancer, but some are more common than others. Invasive and non-invasive (also referred to as “carcinoma in situ”) are the two main subtypes of breast cancer. According to the University of Pittsburgh Medical Center, the most common types of invasive breast cancer are invasive ductal carcinoma, which affects the inner lining of the milk ducts, and invasive lobular carcinoma, which originates from the glands that produce milk. The UPMC reports that the most common in situ types are ductal carcinoma in situ, which is cancer that remains within the milk ducts, and lobular carcinoma in situ, which does not often develop into breast cancer though it is considered a risk factor for an invasive form of the disease.

The ACS notes that triple-negative breast cancer is an aggressive form of breast cancer that accounts for roughly 15 percent of all breast cancers. Triple-negative breast cancer can be difficult to treat. Less common types of breast cancer, each of which account for between 1 and 3 percent of diagnoses in a given year, include Paget disease of the breast, angiosarcoma
and phyllodes tumor. A breast cancer diagnosis marks the beginning of a sometimes lengthy but often successful journey that has ended in full recovery for millions of women across the globe. More information about the various types of breast cancer can be found at cancer.org.
I Remember Mom... continued from page 20 I saw something in my Mom’s eyes. It was gladness tinted with a ray of solemn sadness. Mom knew, for sure, that it was the last time she would ever visit the graves of her precious loved ones. Mom told her sister that God gave her a miracle, to be able to visit the graves of her loved ones, one last time. It was a strange thing. When we got home from the farm, Mom’s episodes of having severe chest pains became more and more frequent. It was a long process of having many cardiac medical tests. But in November of 2019, Mom was operated on, to have an Aortic Valve replacement. Sadly, on the twenty-third of December, of that year, Mom went Home to be with the Lord.
The valve replacement did not take. I often reflect upon that morning at the cemetery, where Mom told Aunt Alice that she knew it would be the last time she would visit the Kemmerer grave site. I often wonder how Mom knew that. Life is short. Love one another. Forgive people for the wrongs they have done unto you. Find the good in people. For truly, life is too short to hold grudges and ill feelings toward one another. Love is the key element of miracles. Richard Mabey Jr. is a freelance writer.

Parents Can Work Together to Make Halloween Safer
alloween is often just what the doctor ordered. Nestled between the start of a new school year and the arrival of the holiday season, Halloween is an opportunity for children and adults alike to have some fun as they dress up in costumes and indulge in some sweet treats. Even though Halloween is designed to be an entertaining day, it’s not without its risks. The Child Safety Network says on average, two times as many child pedestrians die on Halloween compared to other days. Costume safety and food allergies are some additional hazards to contend with on Halloween. Parents can work together to help reduce the safety risks associated with Halloween. Light it up Lack of visibility and dim lighting at night increase the risk of pedestrians being struck by cars on Halloween. Improving visibility can go a long way toward cutting down on accidents and related deaths. Homeowners can keep the lights turned on and perhaps illuminate neighborhoods even more by temporarily installing strands of Christmas or bistro style lights. Children can carry battery-powered flashlights, lanterns or even glow sticks to make them more visible. Reflective tape placed on candy bags or somewhere on costumes also can help. Set up safe trick-or-treat zones The popularity of trunk-or-treat events that emerged several years ago took some of the risk out of Halloween by containing trick-or-treating to a parking lot at a school or church. Neighbors can establish something similar close
to home by petitioning the town for permits to close a specific road or roads to vehicular traffic for a “block party” of sorts. Residents in the area can trick-or-treat and party in the street without risk of injury from cars. Ask participating neighbors to chip in for refreshments and entertainment, if desired. Check candy Generation Xers may recall their parents warned against eating candy from Halloween before it could be inspected for hazards. Unfounded claims of dangerous items being lodged into candy perpetuated the suspicion of all Halloween confections for some time. There is a risk of eating candy without thought, but that risk is now primarily related to food allergies. The United States Department of Agriculture estimates that, each year in the U.S., allergic reactions to food results in 30,000 emergency room visits, 2,000 hospitalizations, and 150 deaths. Common allergens include peanuts and other nuts as well as eggs and dairy. Others may be intolerant to ingredients like gluten or soy. Inspecting candy nutrition information can help weed out candy that may cause a reaction for those with food allergies or other concerns. Prepare homes Adults and parents can take additional steps to prepare their homes for Halloween. Keep the porch and front yard clear of tripping hazards, such as garden hoses, decorations and toys. Sweep away leaves and branches to prevent tripping or slipping. Restrain pets so they do not jump on trick-or-treaters. Offer a variety of treats for kids of all ages so trick-or-treaters get age-appropriate items.
