Remembering 9/11, 22 Years Later
he events of September 11, 2001, marked a turning point in history that left an indelible impact on the world. As we commemorate the 22nd anniversary of 9/11, we reflect on the tragedy, the lives lost, the resilience shown, and the lessons learned. The attacks on the World Trade Center and the Pentagon continue to evoke a mix of emotions and memories that have shaped our collective consciousness. The Day That Changed Everything: On that fateful Tuesday morning, the world watched in horror as commercial airplanes hijacked by terrorists crashed into the Twin Towers of the World Trade Center in New York City and the Pentagon in Washington, D.C. The sheer scale of the devastation and loss of life was beyond comprehension. Almost 3,000 innocent lives were lost, and the impact was felt not just in America, but across the globe. Unity and Resilience: In the face of adversity, the response was a remarkable display of unity and resilience. First responders, firefighters, police officers, and ordinary citizens rushed to the aid of those in need, embodying the spirit of heroism and compassion. Communities came together, demonstrating the strength of human solidarity. The 9/11 attacks did not break the American spirit; instead, they strengthened the nation’s resolve to stand united against terrorism. Global Consequences:
The aftermath of 9/11 had far-reaching consequences that reshaped international politics, security measures, and policies. The United States launched the War on Terror, leading to military interventions in Afghanistan and Iraq. Airport security protocols were heightened, and surveillance efforts intensified to prevent future attacks. The world became acutely aware of the need to address the root causes of terrorism and promote global stability. Lessons Learned: Two decades later, the lessons from 9/11 remain relevant. The importance of vigilance in the face of evolving security threats, the significance of international cooperation, and the need to address sociopolitical issues that can breed extremism are paramount. As we remember the lives lost, we also remember the importance of nurturing tolerance, understanding, and dialogue to prevent the rise of hatred and division. Honoring the Victims: Each year on September 11, ceremonies are held to honor the victims and heroes of the attacks. Names are read aloud, and moments of silence are observed to pay tribute to those who perished. Memorials like the 9/11 Memorial and Museum at Ground Zero stand as somber reminders of the tragedy, urging us to never forget and to continue striving for a more peaceful world.
Twenty-two years after the 9/11 attacks, the world continues to remember the profound impact they had on our lives. As we pay homage to the lives lost and the sacrifices made, let us renew our commitment to building a world that
rejects hatred and violence. Through remembrance, unity, and resilience, we honor the memory of those who were taken from us and work towards a future where such senseless acts of terror have no place.

Strengthening the Body’s Defense: Acupuncture’s Potential in Enhancing Immune Function and Preventing Illness
s we approach cold/flu season it is important to assess your immune system. A strong immune system is vital for maintaining overall health and preventing illness. In recent years, alternative and complementary therapies have gained attention for their potential to support and enhance immune function. Acupuncture, an ancient practice rooted in traditional Chinese medicine, is one such therapy that has been explored for its role in bolstering the body’s immune response. This article delves into how acupuncture might contribute to immune enhancement and illness prevention. Understanding Acupuncture: Acupuncture involves the insertion of thin needles into specific points on the body, known as acupoints. These acupoints are believed to correspond to channels of energy flow, or “qi,” that traverse the body. The stimulation of these points is thought to restore balance and harmony to the body’s energy systems, promoting overall well-being. Acupuncture and Immune Function: Research suggests that acupuncture may have a positive impact on the immune system through various mechanisms: Regulation of Immune Cells: Acupuncture has been linked to the modulation of immune cells, including T-cells, B-cells, and natural killer (NK) cells. These cells
play a crucial role in identifying and attacking foreign invaders, such as viruses and bacteria. Stress Reduction: Chronic stress weakens the immune system, making the body more susceptible to illness. Acupuncture has shown the ability to reduce stress by promoting the release of endorphins, serotonin, and other neurochemicals. By mitigating stress, acupuncture indirectly supports immune function. Inflammation Management: Inflammation is a natural response to infection and injury, but chronic inflammation can compromise immune function. Acupuncture’s antiinflammatory effects may contribute to a healthier immune response. Improved Circulation: Acupuncture’s impact on blood circulation can ensure immune cells reach various parts of the body efficiently, aiding in the identification and elimination of pathogens. Case Studies and Research: Although research on acupuncture’s effects on the immune system is ongoing, several studies provide promising insights. A study published in the journal “Neuroimmunomodulation” in 2017 reported that acupuncture could enhance immune response by influencing cytokine production and immune cell activity. Additionally, a review published in “EvidenceBased Complementary and Alternative Medicine” in 2020
highlighted acupuncture’s potential in regulating the immune system and preventing illness. Preventative Approach: Acupuncture’s potential in immune enhancement aligns well with a preventative approach to health. Rather than waiting for illness to strike, many individuals are seeking ways to proactively strengthen their immune systems. Acupuncture offers a non-invasive and drug-free method to achieve this goal, supporting the body’s natural defense mechanisms. While acupuncture’s role in immune enhancement and illness prevention is still being explored, the available evidence suggests that this ancient practice could play a significant role in supporting a healthy immune system. By influencing immune cells, reducing stress, managing inflammation, and improving circulation, acupuncture offers a holistic approach to maintaining well-being. As part of a comprehensive wellness strategy, acupuncture may empower individuals to take charge of their health and vitality, contributing to a resilient immune system and a better quality of life.

The Ice Age Comes to Randolph
T
By Henry M. Holden he bitter, cold weather we experience each winter would have been welcomed by the farmers, in Randolph and other northern townships. Often there is an overabundance of snow and prolonged periods of sub-zero ice. This would have been the ideal time to harvest a winter crop of ice and store it in icehouses for use in warmer weather. For example, to chill dairy products and provide “air conditioning” (a fan behind a block of ice) to restaurants and the summer resorts in Mount Freedom. Ice harvesting was a large industry in America from the early 1800s to the mid1950s. It was called harvesting because it involved the gathering of a cold weather “crop.” Long before the introduction of mechanical refrigeration, food was preserved by ice harvested from local ponds in Randolph and stored in each family’s own insulated icehouse. Well-built and maintained icehouses could preserve ice for a year or up until the next harvest. Ice blocks were packed in level tiers and covered with sawdust, used as insulation. Small-scale ice harvesting was first performed by farmers. As the demand for
ice grew, large ice harvesting companies were established. The first ice harvesting business in Randolph was started in 1879/80, by James Briant Dalrymple. Dalrymple had a small pond on his property and at the urging of a Dover men, started an ice delivery service. Citizens in Dover talked him into building a large icehouse and harvesting ice to supply the hotels and businesses during the summer. He built an icehouse and insulated it with sawdust, and salt-hay carted up from the Newark meadows, (a five-hour trip), used to cover the ice stored in his icehouse. Dalrymple built a thriving business with his horse-drawn wagons delivering ice to those who owned an icebox. The commercial ice industry in Randolph and other townships did not get underway outside of Morris County until the arrival of the railroads, which provided transportation to the cities. However, local farmers, and hotels, were cutting ice from Mill Pond long before the advent of the commercial ice cutting businesses. Ice blocks were cut from the frozen ponds in Randolph. Each block weighed about 250-300 pounds. The blocks usually had a thickness of 10-18 inches and were 22-inches square.
A man is seen here cutting an ice cake with a five-foot ice saw. (Credit Historical Society of Old Randolph.)
During January and February, the ice cutting day lasted from dawn until dusk, or about 12 hours a day. It was cold and
dangerous work. Many men and horses ended up in icy waters. Some did not continued on page 8

survive. Occasionally, a horse would fall into the ice-cold water. It would be rescued with planks, ropes, and manpower; then it would be given a good rub-down with burlap bags, blanketed, and kept running around the yard for half-an-hour. Ice for harvesting had to be at least 10-inches thick. To measure the ice, a hole was drilled with an ice auger or chopped through with an ice axe. When the ice was ready, the process was to mark off the area with a horse drawn ice marker. When the marker reached the end of the pond, it was turned around and a guide, attached to the marker, was inserted into the three-inch groove made on the first pass. It was then driven back across the pond, making a parallel block 22-inches apart in separation. This continued until the whole area was covered. When the ice had been lined off in one direction, a fresh set of lines would run in right angles dividing the entire ice field into 22-inch squares. This operation was followed by the ice plow which was like an ice marker but had no guide. The plow had longer teeth, and after several passes through the grooves, they
would be cut to about two-thirds thickness of the ice. The cakes could then be broken off with a breaking bar, or a chisel. On smaller operations, such as farm ponds, the cakes were cut out after the marking operation with hand saws about five feet in length. The cake was then floated to shore with various grapples, and hooks. The ice was loaded on sleds and later trucks. If the icehouse was close to the pond, the cakes were put directly into the house by means of slings, ropes, and pulleys or makeshift elevators. With his son Charles, Dalrymple made a much larger pond and built more icehouses as business increased. As late as 1932 Charles’s children built an ice manufacturing plant. Later they enlarged the business by adding a meat processing plant, and a frozen food locker plant. In the 1940s they had 10 ice trucks and sold ice to customers throughout Morris County. The site of Dalrymple’s ice harvesting company is where the County College of Morris is currently located, on Center, Grove Road. The college purchased all 118 acres for campus property. The acreage had been in the Dalrymple family for more than 250 years.

I Remember Dad: Hallowed Be, Thy Sacred Truth of The Scout Law aid. Dad loved to teach the scouts about the great wonders of the trees of the forest and about all the magnificent creatures that called the woods, their sacred home. My father taught all so many scouts to hold a great respect for all living things. He taught his scouts the role that the elm, the oak, the maple and the pine played in preventing soil erosion on a hillside incline. Dad taught the scouts of dear old 170, to walk ever so gently and quietly, while approaching a group of deer drinking from a babbling brook, a few yards from the wooded path of the famed Appalachian Trail. My father went Home to be with the Lord in May of 2006. Now, over 17 years later, I miss him all so very much. There are times when I hear the echo of my father’s voice, “now boys, your pocket knife isn’t a toy. You need to take special care when handling a knife. When you’re getting kindle wood ready for the fire, always cut the little twigs from a fallen branch away from you, never cut the twigs toward you.” Like the tiny particles of sand that sift through our fingers, time waits for no person. The clock ticks the minutes away, the pages of the calendar are torn off too soon, the years pass by, and sadly, the years become decades, falling away from us. Life is short. Too short to hold grievances and harsh judgments. Love one another. Forgive, forgive and forgive those who do you wrong. Tell your loved ones that you love them. For tomorrow may be too late.

By Richard Mabey Jr.
y beloved father served as Scoutmaster of Boy Scout Troop 170 for 28 years, from 1966 to 1994. Dad was 67 years old when he retired from his volunteer role of the Beloved Scoutmaster. He was fighting prostate cancer at the time. A battle that he did win. But sadly, the dreaded cancer reared its ugly head again in 2006, in the form of pancreatic cancer. Sadly, Dad lost that fight. My father believed in the Scout Law and the Scout Oath. Every single word of it. Second only to the Lord’s Prayer, it was Dad’s guiding light upon which he used to shine upon his walk along life’s path. Upon my father’s workbench, was a folded oak tag sign that read, “better to teach a boy the moral path, than to rehabilitate a wayward man.” The lettering of that little sign was hand written. Dad had written those words back in 1966, when he first became Scoutmaster of Troop 170. For nearly 30 years, Dad looked at that little sign. As the years passed by, the little oak tag sign developed little folds in the corner.

Bodyguard for Celebrities Honored Again
I
By Steve Sears
t has been a wonderful nine months for bodyguard Adriano “Bubba” Almony. In December of 2022 in Houston, Texas, he was the first bodyguard ever honored to receive the Presidential Lifetime Achievement Award, and on July 22, he was in Atlanta, Georgia for the 15th annual D’CEM Awards, where he was awarded with both a Humanitarian Excellence Award and Best Security Bodyguard Award. And this November, he will be awarded a K.S.E. Elite Bodyguard Award, and be inducted into the Martial Arts Hall of Fame along with the Queen of Congo. For the latter, Almony was nominated by Mike Tyson’s trainer, Aaron

Snowell. Almony said of the D’CEM event, “It was amazing. There was a dinner, a state representative from the governor’s office there, and hundreds of people at a pretty much full to capacity event. They called all the honorees to stage where you were able to do an acceptance speech. They had our photo on the big jumbotron - the backdrop at the stage - and there were red carpet interviews. It was truly a great time, a nice event.” When asked to describe the word “humanitarian,” Almony said, “A humanitarian is somebody who puts others
before themselves. It’s helping to make the world a better place as a goodwill ambassador, and someone who takes pride in doing less for themselves and more for others.” Almony, 28, first was born and raised in Hanover, Pennsylvania, but in the fifth grade moved to Ocean City, Maryland, where he grew up for most of his life. In 2012 he graduated from Stephen Decatur High, and then headed for the Metropolitan area, where he has lived in Fairfield in Essex County since 2018. A security industry pro for 12 years, he has owned Bubba Almony Security Service for five years. Almony’s bodyguard services protect a number of well-known celebrities and their families, such as Dr. Khalilah Camacho-Ali, the wife of four-time heavyweight boxing champion, Muhammad Ali, and her children, real estate tycoon Grant Cardone and his wife, Elena Lyons Cardone, P. Diddy’s children, and musical artist Yvng Swag of “Nick Cannon Presents: Wild ‘N Out.” His bodyguard services are also relied on at events. He serves at Ocean City, Maryland’s White Marlin Open, the world’s largest billfishing tournament, the 10X Growth Conference (“the number one business event as voted by Forbes,” Almony says), and the 9/11 Memorial Commemoration in New York City. Most important to Almony is making an impact in the world. He said, “To have any impact in my work and impact as a person, and to be inspiring. Being the best leader I could be, the best influence, just pushing towards my greatness every day, to be the best human I could be.”

Morris County Sheriff Adds Two New K-9s
O
By Henry M. Holden n August 18, 2023, the Morris County Sheriff ’s Office and Sheriff James M. Gannon, introduced its two newest members of the K-9 Unit. Leo, an 11-month-old German Shepherd and Malinois mix, and Abbi, a 22-month-old Belgian Malinois, are the two new crimefighting puppies. They will both be trained in K-9 patrol and narcotics detection. K-9 Leo is named after Leon Bradford, the first chief of the former Morris County Park Police Department. And K-9 Abbi is named after Timothy P. Abline, a former Morris County Park Police detective. Abline, who died in 2011, was a 26-year law enforcement officer in Morris County who founded the major annual holiday toy drive known as “Saddle Up for Toys.” “Anytime we have new additions starting their career here at the Sheriff ’s Office, it is exciting,” said Gannon. “These two K-9 partners are exceptionally special, because we bring them into dedicated service in honor of two great Morris County law enforcement officers.” That dedicated service began on Jan 4, 1977. The K-9 Unit originally began as a trial program under Sheriff John Fox, in 1975, where it was referred to as the Bloodhound Unit. Since its ceation, the K-9
Unit has continuously evolved to meet the needs of Morris County. The Morris County Sheriff ’s Office K-9 Unit currently supports all 39 municipalities of Morris County as well as local, county, state, and federal law enforcement agencies with 14 K-9s. A K-9 is trained to assist law enforcement officers, search and rescue teams, or the military. Their duties may include searching for drugs and explosives, locating missing persons, finding crime scene evidence, protecting officers and other people, and attacking suspects who flee from officers. The breeds most used by law enforcement are the German Shepherd, and the Belgian Malinois. “What we found recently was that the Dutch shepherds and the Belgian Malinois especially have more drive than other shepherds and they have better health records,” said Mark Chiarolanza, Public Information Officer. “They seem to be better working dogs overall. “In recent years, the Belgian Malinois has become the leading choice for police and military work due to their intense drive, focus, agility, and smaller size, though German Shepherds remain the breed most associated with law enforcement.” “What we focus on more is the drive. They are high energy dogs.

The dogs are usually accepted into the department at 11 to 22 months old.” K-9s are assigned to a K-9 Unit with a specific handler and must remember several verbal cues and hand gestures. Initial training for a K-9 typically takes between eight
months and a year, depending on where and how they are trained, and for what purpose. “Police dogs take training programs with their assigned handler to reinforce their training,” said Chiarolanza, continued on page 13

continued from page 12 The first recorded use of police dogs was in the early 14th century in St. Malo, France, where dogs were used to guard docks and piers. Between the 12th and 20th centuries, police dogs were primarily used for their tracking abilities. It was in Europe that dogs were first used on a large scale. Police in Paris began using dogs against roaming criminal gangs at night, but it was the police department in Ghent, Belgium that introduced the first organized police dog service program Celebrating 50 Years

in 1899. The German police selected the German Shepherd as the ideal breed for police work and opened the first dog training school in 1920. In later years, many Belgian Malinois dogs were added to the unit. The dogs were systematically trained in obedience to their officers and tracking and attacking criminals. In Britain, the police were among the first to use police dogs in 1908 to put a stop to theft from the docks. “There are various ways a police officer, acquires a canine,” said Chiarolanza. “First

comes the desire of the officer to want to do the job. It’s not something that we just take any officer and put them in that unit. We send out an announcement to see if there’s any interest. Those people who are selected must have the right temperament. You must be patient, and you have make a good team. You have to be caring, after all, you are taking care of a live animal, and some people don’t have that nature about them to care for another. It becomes a lifestyle, taking the dog home, and being on call at all hours of the night. It’s a huge undertaking for any officer. It’s an attitude and drive that almost never gets turned off. The dog is with the officer 24/7. “What we focus on more is the drive. They are high energy dogs. The officer and the dog both attend the same training, and the officer takes the dog home with him or her at night.” Training of K-9s is a lengthy process since it begins with the training of the canine handler. The canine handlers go through training to ensure that they will train the dog to the best of its ability. Usually, the canine handler must complete the requisite police academy training and have patrol experience before becoming eligible to transfer to the canine unit. This is because the experience as an officer allows prospective canine officers to gain valuable
experience in law enforcement. However, having dog knowledge and training outside of the police academy is an asset. This could be in dog obedience, crowd control, or communicating effectively with animals and being approachable and personable since having a dog will draw attention from surrounding citizens. “For a dog to be considered for the K-9 Unit, it must first pass a basic obedience training course,” said Chiarolanza. “They must be able to obey the commands of their handler without hesitation. This allows the officer to have complete control over how much force the dog should use against a suspect. When a narcotics dog indicates to the officer that it found something, the officer has probable cause to search whatever the dog alerted on (i.e. bag or vehicle) without a warrant. In suspect apprehension, having a loud barking dog is helpful and can result in suspects surrendering without delay. “Police dogs are retired if they become injured to an extent where they will not recover completely, are pregnant, or raising puppies, or are too old or sick to continue working. Given that a dog is not injured on the job, we usually retire them after about 10 or 11 years of service,” said Chiarolanza.

NJStarz NJ Starz: Aimee Roehler
Hometown: Whitehouse Station
S
By Steve Sears tudying Aimee Roehler’s career racquetball accomplishments is mind-boggling. Consider just some of the Whitehouse Station resident’s numbers and accomplishments. Roehler also has been a partner in eleven USA Racquetball Mixed Open National Doubles Championships, twelve USA Racquetball Women’s Team Qualifying Doubles Championships, three International – Pan American Championships Doubles Gold wins, and three International Racquetball Federation World Championships Gold titles, and has also won one USA Racquetball Women’s Team Qualifying Singles Championship. Oh – and there have also been other title wins, and quite a few silver and bronze medals, too. Roehler, originally born and raised in Allentown, Pennsylvania, has two siblings; a sister, Sara, and a brother, Nich. Her parents are Donna and Larry, and her stepmom is Louise. For Roehler, who has lived in the Garden State for 20 years, her interest in racquetball started when she was 13 years old and her mom was taking community college nighttime courses, one of those being “Introduction to Racquetball.” It would be Roehler’s introduction to the sport as well. She said, “I was tagging along, doing my homework outside of the courts while she was getting this introduction to racquetball, and she loved it. She joined the gym, started playing in tournaments, and she had me pick up the sport that way. I’ve been doing it ever since then.” Roehler paused, then continued. “That’s what I love about it. I love the competition of it and the intensity of it, and I love sports.” There was a period, however, when Roehler took a step back from racquetball. Fortunately for racquetball fans, she obviously was much too fond and talented to
stay away. Roehler explained, “I quit playing racquetball for several years. I got a little burned out. My mother had gotten remarried, and my stepfather wanted me to get up at 6 a.m. and train, then go to school, and then train again.” At the time, in addition to her studies and her training, she was also playing on the school basketball and tennis teams. Roehler said, “I was a teenager, and I wanted to play basketball or play tennis and hang out with my friends. It was just a lot at that time for me.” From her senior year until about two years later, she was absent from the racquetball court, but eventually started playing again on her terms. She said, “I wanted to play, not because people were making me play, or having this thought that I’m going to be this amazing racquetball player and wanted me to do all this training. I just wasn’t having fun when it was being forced upon me.” Many would say she became that “amazing racquetball player,” but whatever positive adjective used, she indeed has made her mark on the history of the sport. Roehler’s first significant racquetball success came in 1998, when she was both the Women’s 24 & Under National Singles Champion, and a US Open Women’s 24 & Under Singles Champion. Then, in 2005 and 2006, she and Laura Fenton won two USA Racquetball Women’s Team Qualifying Doubles championships. Roehler has teamed up to win 12 of these titles from 2005 through 2020. In addition to the two with Fenton, she and partner Jackie Paraiso have won five championships, and she came out on top four times with Janel Tisinger, and once with Erika Manilla. Roehler admires and credits those she has played with. She said, “Winning with these women, who already have their names cemented in the sport I like as a doubles player, I always say, ‘There’s no “I” in team.’ With Jackie

and Janel, and even Erica, it’s teamwork, and there’s a lot that goes into it.” And perhaps an especially important factor many may not be aware of. Roehler, 48, is a lefthander. She says it’s advantageous, especially when playing in doubles competition, her favorite. She said, “I play singles every once in a while, but I mainly play doubles where there’s not a lot of lefty-righty doubles teams. When you’re a lefty-righty doubles team, you kind of have that advantage already; you have your forehands on both sides, and so that’s always an advantage.” Perhaps her biggest moment out of many big moments in the sport came in 2009. Roehler stunned the racquetball world when, as a very low seed entry, she defeated Kristen continued on page 19

NJ Starz... continued from page 18 Walsh Bellows, Rhonda Rajsich, and Cheryl Gudinas – three of the top four women’s racquetball players on the Ladies Professional Racquetball Tour that season – to win the 2009 USA Racquetball Women’s Team Qualifying Singles Championship. “It was something I will always remember,” she said of 2009. “I had no expectations. I was going for a meeting, and I said to myself, “I’ve got to travel to Houston for a meeting, so let me just sign up to play because I’m going to be there.’ I didn’t have any pressure or anything like that on me.” But she did have a nice support group. Roehler said, “Every time I defeated a top player, there were more people watching the matches. And a group of friends and my husband at that time - they were very supportive.” As she walked towards the court to warm-up for the final match against Gudinas, she looked over and the aforementioned folks were huddled. “Then I turned, and they had my name spelled out on their shirts. The amount of support that I had from them - and them cheering me on! Then afterwards, we went back to the hotel and celebrated, and it was very surreal. We all looked at each other and asked, ‘Did this really happen?’ It did.” Following her huge singles title in 2009, she was that year named USA Racquetball Female Athlete of the Year, and in 2012 was inducted into the New Jersey Amateur Racquetball Hall of Fame.
Roehler was also inducted into the USA Racquetball Hall of Fame in 2021, which she was unable to attend (the induction for her was held in May of 2022 instead) after being diagnosed with breast cancer. She was stricken in 2020 after she won the national doubles title with Manilla. And, coincidentally enough, her boyfriend, Ruben Pagan, also was diagnosed with prostate cancer at the same time. Roehler’s diagnosis came out of nowhere. She, who had no family history of breast cancer, said, “I got diagnosed but I didn’t have any symptoms. I didn’t have any lumps. I didn’t have any bumps. I was going in for my annual mammogram and they spotted something, and they asked me to come back for an ultrasound. When they asked me to come back, I can’t really say I was thinking anything of it. Of course, I was worried, but it’s happened before where they’d asked me to come back.” During this return trip, a biopsy was done, and Roehler was diagnosed with breast cancer. She began treatments, and thanks her stepmom, Louise, for being there for her. Roehler said, “She’s a registered nurse. She was there with me every step of the way. She was there for my surgery, when I went to the doctor’s appointments everything.” Roehler approached USA Racquetball and informed them of the diagnosis, said she wanted to share her story with the racquetball community, and that she wanted USA Racquetball to be a part of it. Also, she started to raise funds for the Steeplechase Cancer Center at Robert
Wood Johnson Hospital Somerset’s Sanofi US Wellness Boutique. Roehler said, “All the money that they have helps those who are diagnosed. Whether they need rides to chemotherapy treatments, or they need meals because they’re exhausted from treatment, that’s all done through donations. I just wanted to give back to them for what they do and how they help other cancer patients.” Roehler, who now has her own firm called ABR Communications where she manages social media platforms for clients, said her health is currently good. She said, “I’m playing racquetball three times a week, and I feel good. I have my aches and pains and things like that, and I do have to take a daily pill and I must get a shot every four weeks as a maintenance with everything that comes along with it. But other than that, I’m still active, I’m enjoying life, and I’m focusing on my business, and I want to grow my business.” For more information about Aimee Roehler, visit her website www.abrcomm.com.

Fountain’s Follies
N
By Henry M. Holden o World War II, aircraft were more vulnerable than the plywood and fabric covered gliders. The life expectancy of their pilots was 50-50 at best. Fred Fountain, of River Dale, N.J. was among the unsung glider heroes of the war. There were six major glider missions in World War II: Burma, Sicily, Normandy, southern, France, Holland, and the Rhine. Fred Fountain flew and survived (barely) three of those missions. Many of the 48-foot-long WACO CG-4 gliders were built in Ridgefield, New Jersey. Glider pilots endured enemy flak, foul weather, and aircraft that sometimes-shed parts in flight. Landing the silent, motorless giants loaded with 13 men or an artillery piece, behind enemy lines, was described as no more than a controlled crash. The glider had only the basic flight instruments: airspeed, vertical speed, turn in bank indicator, and a compass. Fountain said, “The compass was superfluous since there was only one place, we were going to navigate to by ourselves, and that was down.” The pilots shunned parachutes because none of the troops they carried wore them. On a combat mission. Destiny was a one-way
trip. Only the tow plane pilot had any chance of making it back to base that day. The history of the 101st airborne describes the glider pilots as “the most uninhibited individuals in the army, who successfully defied all attempts at organization.” Glider pilots had little use for military convention and ignored most military courtesy. They loved flying, drinking and women, but not necessarily in that order. They felt that if they were going to be killed in combat, there was no point in being polite, disciplined, or sober. Fred fountain was 28 years old when World War II broke out. He was considered too old for the Air Force cadet training program, so he volunteered for the little-known glider pilot program. The daily routine as Fountain describes it was bookwork and drill in the morning and flying in the afternoon. “Each day 25 men were crammed into a school bus built for 20 children and driven 60 miles from Bergen Junior-College, in Teaneck (now fairly Dickinson University) to Soberg-Hunterton Airport in Redington for flight training. There was so much classroom work it continued on the school bus. “It was a typical Army operation,” said Fountain. “The food was bad, bunks were too small, and the drill was a joke.” Forty-five days later, Fountain graduated,

This C-47 Skytrain is about to “snatch” and double tow two CG-4 gliders seen in the background. Credit author’s collection
but the Army has changed its mind about the glider pilot program so all the new pilots were returned to the Army as buck privates. Later the Army reversed itself and Fountain went for more flight training wearing his sterling silver wings. First came a single engine power plane then the two-place gliders. From there he went on to the 4-ton WACO- CG 4 heavy glider. Fountains first combat mission was to Southern France on August 15, 1944, with the 436th Troop, Carrier Group, 79
Squadron. “Fountains, Folly” was the 37th of 40 gliders in the first lift. As it often happened the telephone line between the tow plane and glider tore away on takeoff. Fountain, his cargo of English Tommy’s, and their jeep were in the air four-and one-half hours, and out of contact with the tow plane. Fountain remembers that, during the long hours his British passengers relaxed and brewed some tea. Near the landing zone, Fountain watched as several gliders crashed. One continued on page 20

Fountain’s Follies... continued from page 18 fell apart in mid-air, its human cargo falling helplessly into the sea. On the landing approach, Fountain’s copilot prayed instead of reading the airspeed indicator and operating the spoilers. Fountain screamed at the copilot but to no avail, so he landed the glider himself. “Since I was too tired to dig a foxhole, I crawled under a British 57 mm field piece. That was a mistake. When it fired tears came to my eyes and I went deaf for a while.” Fountain’s next mission was to Holland on September 18, 1944. This time there was no copilot and Fountain was flying Folly #2. The mission fleet consisted of 1,500 gliders, and Fountain and his human cargo of spent more than 3 1/2 hours in the air. Solo flying with a full load was an exhausting job. Fountain had to struggle to keep the glider from oscillating. If his ship didn’t fly above the tow plane slipstream, the ride would be worse than a rowboat in a storm-tossed sea. If the glider had structural defects, there was a distinct possibility of it breaking up in flight. Five minutes from the LZ, Fountain’s Foley #2 was hit by a German 40 mm, shell that tore a huge hole in the fabric skin, and missed the main wing spar by inches. Two of his passengers were badly wounded, but Fountain was able to keep the smoke-filled cabin airborne. Fountain crash landed in a field amid the
rubble of wrecked gliders and dead cows. Fountain stayed in Holland for four or five days before working his way back to England. “I remember being in Brussels, but have no recollection of how I got back to England. As usual, all of the surviving glider pilots got drunk. I estimated that 90-percent of the glider pilots time was spent getting drunk and raising Hell, and 10-percent flying. And if the big brass didn’t like it, they could always try and find someone else to fly the damn gliders.” The Rhine mission on March 24, 1945, saw 906 WACO gliders launched. Fountain’s Folly #3, was part of the group, and double towed for more than three hours carrying a jeep trailer, heavy machine gun and six airborne troops. This time he had a copilot, a P-51 pilot who had never seen the inside of a glider. The landing zones were in disputed territory and artillery, mortar and machine gun greeted the hapless pilots as they tried their silent giants. “Less than one-quarter of the gliders that reached the assault area came through undamaged,” said the official report. As he approached the LZ Fountain began to think his luck had run out. First his tow plane exploded in front of him just after he had cut loose; Then, as he flew into the smoke shrouded LZ, suddenly he saw high
tension wires cutting across his glide path. Sideslipping with full spoilers, he narrowly missed the wires. The glider plowed through a number of fences, and slammed into a tree. Before he could climb out of the wreck another glider smashed into what was left of his glider. When the dust settled, Fountain and his copilot ran for cover through a hail of machine gun fire and dove behind a hedge row. “With our faces in the dirt,” he remembered, “We said several quick prayers.” A rumbling noise caused Fountain to look
up in time to see a glider skidding toward them. Miraculously the wheels missed him by inches but crushed Fountain’s carbine. Now, he was without a gun in the middle of a fire fight. Desperately, he crawled into a gully to wait for the shooting to stop. He survived, but never saw his copilot again. Glider pilots in the great giant silent birds were a creation of World War II. When the war ended, they faded from the scene. Fred Fountain came home to New Jersey and established a successful insurance business in Hackensack.

President George W. Bush’s Address to the Nation on September 11, 2001
n the evening of September 11, 2001, United States President George W. Bush addressed a nation that earlier that day witnessed the deadliest terrorist attacks in world history. That morning, hijackers took control of four airplanes, ultimately crashing two into the Twin Towers at the World Trade Center in New York City and another into the Pentagon in Washington, D.C. A fourth hijacked plane crashed in a field near the town of Shanksville, Pennsylvania after passengers and crew attempted to regain control of the plane from the hijackers. All passengers and crew on board all four flights died on September 11, and thousands of others on the ground lost their lives that day as well. It was under those conditions that President Bush delivered the following speech to a shaken nation. Good evening. Today, our fellow citizens, our way of life, our very freedom came under attack in a series of deliberate and deadly terrorist acts. The victims were in airplanes, or in their offices; secretaries, businessmen and women, military and federal workers; moms and dads, friends and neighbors. Thousands of lives were suddenly ended by evil, despicable acts of terror. The pictures of airplanes flying into buildings, fires burning, huge structures collapsing, have filled us with disbelief, terrible sadness, and a quiet, unyielding anger. These acts of mass murder were intended to frighten our nation into chaos and retreat. But they have failed; our country is strong.

A great people has been moved to defend a great nation. Terrorist attacks can shake the foundations of our biggest buildings, but they cannot touch the foundation of America. These acts shattered steel, but they cannot dent the steel of American resolve. America was targeted for attack because we’re the brightest beacon for freedom and opportunity in the world. And no one will keep that light from shining. Today, our nation saw evil, the very worst of human nature. And we responded with the best of America — with the daring of our rescue workers, with the caring for strangers and neighbors who came to give blood and help in any way they could. Immediately following the first attack, I implemented our government’s emergency response plans. Our military is powerful, and it’s prepared. Our emergency teams are working in New York City and Washington, D.C. to help with local rescue efforts. Our first priority is to get help to those who have been injured, and to take every precaution to protect our citizens at home and around the world from further attacks. The functions of our government continue without interruption. Federal agencies in Washington which had to be evacuated today are reopening for essential personnel tonight, and will be open for business tomorrow. Our financial institutions remain strong, and the American economy will be open for business, as well.
The search is underway for those who are behind these evil acts. I’ve directed the full resources of our intelligence and law enforcement communities to find those responsible and to bring them to justice. We will make no distinction between the terrorists who committed these acts and those who harbor them. I appreciate so very much the members of Congress who have joined me in strongly condemning these attacks. And on behalf of the American people, I thank the many world leaders who have called to offer their condolences and assistance. America and our friends and allies join with all those who want peace and security in the world, and we stand together to win the war against terrorism. Tonight, I ask for your prayers for all those who grieve, for the children whose worlds have been shattered, for all whose sense of safety and security has been threatened. And I pray they will be comforted by a power greater than any of us, spoken through the ages in Psalm 23: “Even though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I fear no evil, for You are with me.” This is a day when all Americans from every walk of life unite in our resolve for justice and peace. America has stood down enemies before, and we will do so this time. None of us will ever forget this day. Yet, we go forward to defend freedom and all that is good and just in our world. Thank you. Good night, and God bless America.

Morris County Bids Farewell to Chris Walker
Retiring Buildings and Grounds Superintendent Praised for 25 Years of Service
(l-r) Commissioner Deputy Director Myers, Commissioners Selen and Cabana, former Commissioner DeFillippo, Chris Walker, Commissioner Director Krickus, Commissioners Shaw, Smith and Mastrangelo.

orris County Superintendent of Buildings and Grounds Christopher A. Walker was honored by the Morris County Board of County Commissioners last night, as they and staff thanked him for 25 years of selfless dedication and support to the county in advance of his official retirement on Sept. 1, 2023. “Throughout the years at all the cere-
monies we do annually -- 9/11, our tribute to our veterans on Memorial Day and Veterans Day -- all the set up takes a tremendous amount of work. It was always Chris and his crew doing a phenomenal job -- 3.3 million square feet of buildings and structures were taken care of by Chris and his crew. And of course, there is always the big projects, like the Public Safety Training Complex, the Family Justice Center, the
Central Avenue Complex and refurbishing the cupola atop the historic Morris County Courthouse. Chris was always there,” said Commissioner Stephen Shaw during the board’s public meeting in Morristown. The Commissioners presented Superintendent Walker an official resolution of
honor denoting his achievements, along with an etching of the Morris County Courthouse. The etching bears a placard that simply reads: “Thank You, Christopher A. Walker For 25 Years of Distinguished Service To the People of Morris County.” continued on page 23

Farewell to Chris Walker... continued from page 22 Superintendent Walker grew up in Dover, N.J. and became a union electrician after high school before he was hired on Feb. 9, 1998 by Morris County as Senior Electrician in the Building and Grounds Division. He worked through the ranks over the years to become Assistant Superintendent of Public Property in January 2008. On Oct. 1, 2009, he was promoted to Superintendent of Buildings and Grounds, beginning a 14-year tenure that was consistently marked by his talents for leadership, professionalism and dedication. “Our buildings are spotless. Anywhere you go, you hear compliments about the condition of Morris County facilities, whether it be the Academy, here (in the Administration and Records Building), or out on the other end of the county. It was Chris’s responsibility. He always got it done,” Commissioner Doug Cabana said. Superintendent Walker’s personal commitment to his career was always outstanding, as he and his division regularly adapted to the changing demands of the job, from tackling snow, ice storms and hurricanes to navigating the uncertainty of a global pandemic. He would strap on his tool belt to help during any emergency, removed snow every winter at the Courthouse complex and once rescued an 81-year-old resident during a blizzard. “Chris is the most professional and flexible bricks and mortar man I ever met. Every accomplishment achieved by the County had Walker at the focal point,” said former Morris County Administrator John Bonanni. Each of the Commissioners went on to praise Mr.

Walker during the work session, which included former Commissioner Kathy DeFillippo who came by to wish him well in his retirement. “You can tell through the work that you do how much you respect the county, the people that work with you and the people that you serve in the broader community. Thank you for making Morris County a special place,” said Deputy Director Christine Myers. “Thank you for everything you’ve done for the county and the people. I wish you the best of luck in your next chapter of your life,” said Commissioner Tayfun Selen. “You took pride in this county, you took pride in your work, you took pride in your people. Year after year, since I’ve been here, you set the example for a lot of us to make sure we do good and do even better for the people of Morris County, and for all the employees that are here,” Commissioner Tom Mastrangelo said. “Chris you’re one of those unsung heroes. So many things that you have done throughout the county has been behind the scenes. Your work has been above reproach. You have always been wonderful in your quiet way, and I wish you a wonderful retirement,” said Commissioner Deborah Smith. “On behalf of the board, thank you. It was not only the people in this room you served, but all the residents in Morris County who came through all the facilities over all the years… Chris, to you and your coworkers, thank you so much,” said Commissioner Director John Krickus. Mr. Walker also was honored in remarks made by Morris County Sheriff James M. Gannon, Clerk Ann F. Grossi
and Surrogate Heather J. Darling, each of whom presented their own proclamations and honors. “You took pride in your work. It’s more than a job for you. You made things happen all times of the day and night. It was a real honor to work with you,” said Sheriff Gannon. “I’ve known Chris for thirteen years… Even when work was difficult, he would say ‘I’ll find a way to do it,’” said County Clerk Grossi. “Chris Walker and his team always made himself available to support the Surrogate’s Office, and in fact, rebuilt the office suite from floor to ceiling and from beam to beam. He went above and beyond to accommodate the Surrogate’s Office,” said Surrogate Darling. Mr. Walker will officially retire on Sept. 1, 2023, at which time he will be replaced by Assistant Superintendent Mike Drury. Mr. Drury has worked alongside Mr. Walker in Morris County’s Buildings and Grounds Division for the past 24 years. “I’ve been through many different boards, three different administrations… In Buildings and Grounds, we service the end user… all the departments, all their divisions, all the courts, the constitutional offices, everybody. All day, every day. These buildings never sleep. We’ve got staff here from morning through night. Most of the time we’re working in front of the public and everyone here… The Buildings and Grounds’ mission and our philosophy that we’ve developed over the years isn’t going to change,” said Mr. Walker.

The Link Between Dirty Contact Lenses and Infection
ontact lenses are a solution for people with impaired vision who don’t like the look or feel of eyeglasses. But unlike eyeglasses, contact lenses require daily maintenance. Without such TLC, contact lenses can become dirty, which can lead to serious infection. Physicians typically emphasize the importance of proper contact lens care upon prescribing lenses. That’s because of the link between dirty lenses and infections. But the Cleveland Clinic notes that such infections are often avoidable. Infections and bacteria According to the Cleveland Clinic, roughly 80 to 90 percent of contact lensrelated eye infections are bacterial. The bacteria staphylococcus aureus, also known as “staph,” is linked to many cases of contact lens-related eye infections. Staphylococcus aureus bacteria are resistant to common antibiotics, which underscores the importance of cleaning contacts to reduce the risk of infection. Pseudomonas aeruginosa is another type of bacterial infection that can affect individuals who wear contact lenses. The Cleveland Clinic indicates that this fast-growing infection is possibly the
most severe. It can lead to a hole in the cornea and there’s a significant chance of permanent scarring and vision loss. Fungal infections Poor contact lens hygiene also can lead to fungal infections. Fungi such as aspergillus or fusariam pose a threat to vision and infection can occur if lenses are not properly and routinely cleaned. What causes contact lens-related infections? The American Academy of Ophthalmology reports that, in addition to bacteria and fungi, various things can cause contact lens-related infections. Those factors include: • Using extended-wear lenses • Sleeping in contact lenses • The buildup of microbes under the lens • Herpes virus • Parasites • Reusing or topping off contact lens solution • Failure to keep lenses clean What are the signs of contact lensrelated eye infection? Serious vision loss or blindness can result from contact lens-related infections. However, less severe symptoms may
present themselves before the infection progresses to the point of vision loss. • Blurry vision • Unusual redness of the eye • Pain in the eye • Tearing or discharge from the eye
• Extra sensitivity to light • The feeling that something is in the affected eye Contact lenses require daily maintenance to prevent infection. More information is available at www.aao.org.
