Randolph Senior Finds Success in His Return to Competitive Swimming

J

By Steve Sears ust a few months shy of his 69th birthday, Randolph resident Michael S. Fey, Ph.D, competed in the 65-69 age group at the Albuquerque, New Mexico-held National Senior Games, swimming and winning a Silver medal in the 50-yard Butterfly (30.470), Bronze medals in the 100-yard Individual Medley (1:11.500) and 50-yard Backstroke (33.400 - just 0.07 from second place), and 6th place in 50-yard Freestyle (27.850).

For Dr. Fey, who is a Numismatic Coin Dealer, who since childhood dreamed of swimming in the United States Nationals and the Olympics, 2019 was a year of dreams attained. “I came close by qualifying for the Nationals when I was in college,” he recalls, “but could not afford to go to Florida, and I just wasn’t good enough to compete at the highest levels.”

When Dr. Fey, a Cornell University graduate, attended Flushing High School in Queens, New York back in 1969, he was Captain of his swim team, winning first place in the Public School Athletic League (PSAL) swimming the 100-yard butterfly, securing a four-year swimming scholarship to St. John’s University. After swimming four years collegiately, he qualified for the swimming Nationals, but the trip expense prevented traveling to Florida. “I honestly felt I was not of the caliber of high-end swimmers and promising Olympians,” he says, “so I didn’t go. In addition, I really disliked the intensity of swimming workouts, a grueling six days a week, perhaps three miles a day. After my last swim meet, I vowed I would never swim competitively again!”

“Again” would come, but 46 years later. A challenge spurred Fey on.

Ten years ago, Dr. Fey learned he had a macro pituitary adenoma, a brain tumor. Overweight at 215 pounds, often tired from complications with sleep apnea, and feeling quite lethargic, he thought his life might be ending, even asking

himself, “How could this be happening to me?”

A surgery to excise the tumor was the beginning of Dr. Fey taking control of his destiny to live a healthier lifestyle and take on new challenges. “I wanted to climb a mountain, and my target was Mount Kilimanjaro in Africa. I started working out six days a week at the local YMCA in Randolph.” For Dr. Fey, the trek wasn’t easy. “For me, it was a near death experience. The water line on my camel froze at an altitude of about 17,000 feet above sea level. Nearly exhausted, I finally reached the frozen glacial summit only to sit once before starting to nod out for lack of enough oxygen. Realizing that I had to keep moving, I finally made it back down to high base camp at about 15,000 feet after 14 straight hours of trekking. I was totally spent, but I knew I had made it. After 5 hours of sleep, I woke extremely sore but determined to make it back down the mountain, and I accomplished what I set out to do.”

A return to competition now beckoned him. In August 2018, after nine years of rebuilding his body, Dr. Fey returned to swimming. “My weight was now down to 170, and I felt young and vibrant again. I started working out on my own for a short 1200-1400 yards two days a week. I joined the United States Masters Swimming Program and learned from a friend that the New Jersey Senior Olympics was being held in a few weeks (September 2018) in my area.”

At the Olympics in Woodbridge, Dr. Fey scored gold medals in the 50-yard Backstroke, Butterfly, Freestyle, and 100yard Individual Medley. Then, in May 2019, he competed in the United States Masters National Championship in Mesa, Arizona, a goal since his college days, placing sixth in the 50yard Breaststroke, and ninth place in 50-yard Backstroke.

After that, the Senior Games, and more success at the FIFA Masters World Championships was in Guangju, S. Korea in August, where he finished in the top 13 in every stroke

(7th in Backstroke), and first for his actual age and older in backstroke competition.

Dr. Fey thanks sincerely Bill Lamia, Director of the YMCA in Randolph, without who’s help, support, and gym and pool facilities, Fey would not have been able to achieve his athletic goals and better his health. “My advice to other seniors,” he says, “is that it’s never too late to take control of your life and fulfill your dreams while getting into better health.”

Randolph High School Seniors Named 2020 National Merit Scholarship Program Semi-finalists

R

By Steve Sears andolph High School seniors, Ibrahim Syed and Josephine Wu, were recently named 2020 National Merit Scholarship Program semi-finalists.

16,000 high-school seniors nationwide will seek scholarships that will be offered in spring 2020. Applications are submitted detailing a student’s academic record, leadership qualities, honors and awards received while in high school. Per the National Merit Scholarship Program, 90 percent of the semi-finalists will be entered in February of next year as finalists, and about half of those will win scholarships which will be announced in April.

“In September, Mr. (Charles) Dimiceli, the Director of Counseling at my school, informed me that I was a National Merit semi-finalist,” says Syed, whose favorite subject is Math. “As I understand it, semi-finalists are identified based on whether or not their PSAT scores in junior year meet the state’s cutoff.”

“I found out I was a semi-finalist by looking up the National Merit Semifinalist Cutoff score in New Jersey (they vary by state),” says Wu. “I checked the College board web-

site and found out that I met the score cutoff! So, I already knew I was a semi-finalist by the time my guidance counselor called me down to the main office to tell me,” she adds excitedly.

Syed, who has a list of colleges that match his goals and objectives and would love to develop his passion for Science and Technology, feels a scholarship is, “ a recognition of the beautiful ecosystem (my family, teachers, counselors, and my classmates) that the Randolph community has developed over the years. This support structure nurtures, cherishes, and challenges all of us to do our best and set a strong positive example for the entire community.” He then says, “I should find out sometime between mid-December and March where I will be attending next year. I plan to major in computer science. I know that’s what I want to study, but where I take that after college is open-ended right now for me. I want to work at the intersection of multiple fields and with many different types of people, to be able to multiply the impact of the work that I want to do.”

For Wu, who has not yet chosen which college she will attend but is leaning towards thinking of maybe studying history, East

Asian Studies, and public policy, the scholarship is important because “it would help in paying for my college tuition. It also symbolizes the work I put into my academics during my four years of high school,” says Wu. Both will depart Randolph High School with a touch of sadness but gratitude as well.

“These four years of high school go quickly,” attests Syed, “and we can’t miss out on all the opportunities they afford us. I would strongly encourage the freshmen, sophomores,

and juniors to continue to be very engaged with the Randolph Community. We should take RHS to be the standard of academic excellence and civic leadership. I intend to do my part through the many avenues I have created for myself through honor societies and clubs. I once again want to thank all the people around me like my family, teachers, classmates, counselors, and Randolph administration for the help and guidance they have given me throughout the years.”

Are You Sick And Tired Of Being Sick And Tired?

Exploring Another Treatment Option For Chronic Fatigue Syndrome

hronic fatigue immunodeficiency syndrome (CFIS) also known as myalgic encephalomyelitis (ME) is a disabling and poorly understood illness that is becoming more widespread in Western countries. CFIS is a term used to describe a myriad of neurological, neuromuscular, and immunological abnormalities. The initial onset of CFIS consists of flu-like symptoms including fever, sore throat, tender lymph nodes, chills and extreme fatigue. The chronic manifestations of CFIS always include disabling fatigue but can also include muscle and joint pain, sleep disorders, headaches, hypo- or hypersensitivities, cognitive disorders, depression, malaise, anxiety, irritability, confusion, weight fluctuations, abdominal pain, nausea and vomiting, muscle fatigue, worsening PMS, visual disturbances, tachycardia, paresthesias, dry eyes, dry mouth, night sweats, skin rashes and decreased sexual desire.

The etiology of CFIS is still unknown, but the suspected cause is a viral infection.

Some researchers believe that CFIS is actually a neurological response to a viral infection. Since there are no absolute markers

or lab tests to confirm the illness, chronic fatigue immunodeficiency syndrome is often diagnosed by symptoms alone and by process of elimination. For the same reasons, western medicine has no treatment for chronic fatigue. Instead, doctors prescribe individual medications to deal with each of the associated symptoms.

As with any illness, traditional Chinese medicine treats the individual on a caseby- case basis. A diagnosis is made based on the individual’s symptoms as well as their tongue and pulse presentations. The patient’s tongue is inspected and 6 pulses are felt on each wrist in order for the Acupuncturist/ Chinese Medical Practitioner to determine the diagnosis. Since chronic fatigue manifests differently in each person, this method of diagnosing is superior. The treatment plan is then formulated based on the individual’s diagnosis. As you can see in the chart- one Acupuncture treatment plan will address all of the individual’s symptoms as well as the illness as a whole. This is known as a root and branch treatment. Addressing the root cause of the chronic fatigue is addressing the illness as a whole while treating the branch aims

to relieve all of the symptoms associated with the illness. A single Chinese herbal formula can also be prescribed to treat both the root and branch of the chronic fatigue syndrome.

A VIEW FROM THE LEFT

A VIEW FROM THE RIGHT

Republican Sense of Humor

EDITORIAL &

Opinions

T

wenty years ago, former U.S. Transportation Secretary, President of the Red Cross and future North Carolina Sen. Elizabeth Dole was a decidedly long-shot candidate for the Republican presidential nomination -- an honor her husband, former Senate Majority Leader Bob Dole had won four years earlier, only to lose in the general election to Democratic incumbent Bill Clinton.

Then out of elective public office for the first time in 36 years, Bob Dole was most often seen as the television pitchman for a product promising to improve erectile function. Curious about why Elizabeth Dole, a certified dark horse, was running for the White House, I asked humorist Mark Russell, who explained.

“If you were married to the test pilot for Viagra, you’d do almost anything to get out of the house.”

Bob Dole was that most special of political leaders who subscribed to John F. Kennedy’s thesis: “There are three things which are real: God, human folly and laughter. The first two are beyond our comprehension, so we must do what we can with the third.” Of all the politicians I have covered, none -- certainly no Republican -- has done more for and with humor than Robert J. Dole the favorite son of Russell, Kansas.

He had been President Gerald Ford’s running mate in the photo-finish 1976 election won by Democrat Jimmy Carter, leading to this Dole insight: “I don’t know how many people run for vice president and for president and lose both.” Of the vice presidential nomination, custom of which somehow dictates that no one who covets it be seen overtly seeking to be chosen, Dole wisely observed: “The vice presidential nomination is like the last cookie on the plate; everybody insists they don’t want it, but somebody

Mark Shields always takes it.”

Someone as exceptionally witty as Bob Dole sometimes gets credit for great lines whether or not he was the author.

Take this one, following the obvious tension between him as Senate Republican leader and GOP House Speaker Newt Gingrich, who had disparaged the consensus-builder Dole as “the tax collector for the welfare state.” When Gingrich’s public popularity in the polls plummeted precipitously, the story goes, he sought the counsel of the older, wiser Dole.

“Why do so many people take such an instant dislike to me?” asked a shaken Gingrich. Dole’s succinct explanation: “Because it saves them time.”

Bob Dole could disarm with his candor. He once observed: “Some of us in the Senate are uncomfortable taking honoraria (for speeches before groups). I am uncomfortable taking campaign contributions. So I compromised. I decided to take both.”

I wrote the book on the Obama administration’s “Culture of Corruption” 10 years ago, including a thick and sordid chapter on the Beltway swamp creatures of the Biden family. See-noevil liberals scoffed at my catalogue of back-scratching, shady Delaware deals and Wall Street funny money: What nepotism? What ethical lapses? What corruption?

Now, Hunter Biden himself, the youngest son of former Vice President and Democratic presidential front-runner Joe Biden, finally admitted this week what Daddy’s pooh-poohing pals have long (publicly) denied: “I don’t think that there’s a lot of things that would have happened in my life if my last name wasn’t Biden,” Hunter confessed on ABC’s “Good Morning America” Tuesday.

Well, knock me over with a feather and plaster-cast my shocked face.

On cue, the Dems’ favorite “GOP strategist,” swamp lobbyist wife and anti-Trump loudmouth Ana Navarro Cardenas, cooed over Hunter’s “self-awareness” and “humility.” But even as the theatrically humbled Hunter admitted his privilege (staged the morning before Biden the Senior faced off for the fourth high-stakes Democratic presidential debate), he insisted he was as “qualified” as “anybody else” for his $50k-a-month gig at Ukrainian natural gas company Burisma Holdings.

After all, Hunter puffed: “I was vice chairman of the board of Amtrak for five years. I was the chairman of the board of the U.N. World Food Program.

I was a lawyer for Boies Schiller Flexner, one of the most prestigious law firms in the world.”

Hold up, Sonny Boy. Reciting a litany of your unqualified domestic appoint-

Michelle Malkin ments to bolster the qualifications of your foreign gigs lacks -- what’s the word? -- self-awareness. “GMA” hostess Amy Robach, who had promised a “no holds barred” grilling, whiffed on fully informing viewers about Hunter’s lifelong biography of conflicts of interest and cashing in.

The Burisma “mistake” is a feature, not a bug, in the bubble-protected life and times of Delaware’s dirty Democrat dynasty. I repeat: --Hunter’s first job, acquired after Joe Biden won his 1996 Senate reelection bid in Delaware, was with MBNA. The credit card conglomerate and top campaign finance donor forked over nearly $63,000 in bundled primary and general contributions from its employees to then-Sen. Biden -- who secured his custom-built, multimillion-dollar house in Delaware’s ritziest Chateau Country neighborhood with the help of a leading MBNA corporate executive.

Average Joe went on to carry legislative water for MBNA in the Senate for years. continued on page 6

Beltway Bidenspawn-Ship... continued from page 4 --Hunter quickly ascended to senior vice president at MBNA by early 1998 and then scored a plum position in the Clinton administration’s Commerce Department, specializing in “electronic commerce” before returning to MBNA three years later as a high-priced “consultant.” While he collected those “consulting” (translation: nepotistic access-trading) fees, Hunter became a “founding partner” in the lobbying firm of

Oldaker, Biden and Belair in 2002.

--William Oldaker was Papa Biden’s former fundraiser, campaign treasurer and general counsel -- a Beltway barnacle whose Democratic machine days dated back to Teddy Kennedy’s 1980 presidential bid. Under Oldaker’s mentorship, Hunter lobbied for drug companies, universities and other deep-pocketed clients to the tune of nearly $4 million billed to the company by 2007.

Then-Illinois Sen. Barack Obama personally

Republican Sense of Humor... continued from page 4 next to each other were former presidents Jimmy Carter, Gerald Ford and Richard Nixon -- or, as Bob Dole identified them, “See No Evil, Hear No Evil and Evil.” He could be caustic.

Reflecting upon his Senate leadership, Bob Dole once spoke with pride about what he had worked on successfully and where he had made a difference: passing the Americans with Disabilities Act, working to pass the Voting Rights Act, compromising and collaborating with Democratic House Speaker Thomas Phillip “Tip” O’Neill to

shore up and save Social Security and helping create the Martin Luther King Jr. national holiday. Pretty serious body of work for a man of such wit.

Boy, could we use a party leader and a Senate leader who, yes, makes us smile and chuckle but who also makes such a large and positive difference in our nation.

requested and secured cozy taxpayer-subsidized earmarks for several of Hunter’s clients.

--Hunter also was a top official at Paradigm Global Advisors, a hedge fund holding company founded with Joe Biden’s brother, James, and marketed by convicted finance fraudster Allen Stanford. As Paradigm chairman, Hunter oversaw half a billion dollars of client money invested in hedge funds while remaining a lobbyist at Oldaker, Biden and Belair. The ill-fated venture went bust amid nasty fraud lawsuits.

--The Biden Bro received a $500,000 loan from the family’s longtime donor, “friend” and Ukrainian-American businessman John Hynansky, which helped bail Uncle James Biden out of debt he racked up while renovating a massive, south Florida beachfront estate. Hynansky was also entangled in a messy Delaware real estate deal with Biden pal and convicted campaign finance and tax fraudster Chris Tigani, who spent two years in prison for laundering political donations through straw donors to Biden’s presidential campaign committee.

--Hunter then snagged a seat on the board of directors of taxpayer-subsidized,

stimulus-inflated Amtrak, where he pretended not to be a lobbyist, but rather an “effective advocate” for the government railroad system serving the 1-percenters’ D.C.-NYC corridor.

And all of this was before Qualified-As-Anybody-Else Hunter snagged his lucrative foreign gigs in Ukraine and China (not to mention the humiliating interlude when he was booted from the Navy Reserve in 2014 for cocaine use while “working” as a public affairs officer -- a cushy, part-time job he secured only after finagling waivers for his age and a previous drug offense).

The law license Hunter is so proud of earning was conveniently protected from review and revocation.

Bidenspawn-ship has its privileges -- lavishly underwritten by “Average Joe’s” half century-long career on the public teat.

Local Dentist, Dr. Ira Goldberg, Spends Weekend Teaching Implant Procedures

D

r. Ira Goldberg, a leading local authority on dental implants, spent time at the end of September training dentists who were seeking to expand their dental implant knowledge and skills. As a respected educator, its not uncommon for Dr. Goldberg to share his knowledge and expertise with others.

As part of the faculty of MaxiCourses, Dr. Goldberg states, “It always an honor to work with dentists who want to further their talents with dental implants. These doctors are spending time away from their families and own offices to learn skills that will make them better dentists for the benefit of their patients.”

A MaxiCourse is a 10-month in-depth program dentists participate in when they wish to expand their knowledge regarding dental implants. There are programs worldwide, and are sponsored by the AAID, which stands for the American Academy of Implant Dentistry. Dr. Goldberg is actually a past officer of the AAID on a District Level, where his current title is Immediate Past President.

“Dental implants have revolutionized patients’ options,” says Dr. Goldberg. “Instead of removable dentures and aggressive bridgework being only options, we are able to offer other services retained by implants. Whether a person needs a single tooth or a full jaw replacement, its amazing what we can now offer.”

When asked about his role as an educator to other dentists, Dr. Goldberg thoughtfully stated, “I’ve always heard that when you’re passionate about something, it shows.

I’ve been providing implant services for over 24 years, and I’m always excited about it. I guess that’s why other doc-

tors and dental professionals ask me for my thoughts, help, and guidance. Its quite an honor; I love to share.”

Dr. Goldberg holds many honors in the field of implant dentistry. He is a Diplomate of the American Board of Oral Implantology / Implant Dentistry, and a Fellow of the American Academy of Implant Dentistry, just to name a couple.

Regarding his Diplomate status, there are only several hundred dentists world-wide that hold this distinction. It is an

The aim is to leverage the “dark days of winter” and challenge the children to be much more active.

This season Winter4Kids will accommodate almost 3,100 youth.

From new lifts and trails, to an upgraded lodge along with state of the art, fully automated snowmaking, Winter4Kids welcomes a host of new upgrades. With the addition of a Nordic Center in 2019 and a 27,700 square foot lodge addition complete with full kitchens, expanded equipment rooms and a cafeteria coming online during the summer of 2020, the program and venue will be poised to accommodate 10,000 kids annually by 2023.

“The goal for the National Winter Activity Center has always been to increase access to incremental, life changing, winter activity in children across the country.

Through Winter4Kids, our original vision remains the same as aspects of the vision have been amplified,” said Schone Malliet, Founder and CEO of Winter4Kids. “At our core, winter activities are a means to end for the kids, and our programs makes unimaginable dreams inevitable opportunities.”

Winter4Kids program school age youth receive experiential learning, life changing values from coaching mentors and are provided with the appropriate equipment, clothing and healthy meals over the course of six sessions.

Winter4Kids Progress • Nordic Center – Fully deployed this year, the Nordic Center features a 1.5KM loop with snowmaking and lights, supported by a new lodge with eating, equipment and storage areas. In conjunction with the Norwegian Ski Federation and Winter4Kids board member, Helen Ingebretsen, a “ski play” component has been developed for fun freestyle runs.

• Winter Activity Club – Participating in programs will cultivate young enthusiasts who return year over year, have a love for the outdoors, and a desire to sustain their progress. An annual trip with parents and guardians is planned.

• Team Winter4Kids - This program molds

young athletes by supporting events and activities that are recreational, organized (US Ski and Snowboard), and interscholastic (NJISRA and USCSA). The development of the competition facilities supports high level Alpine and Nordic events as well. This year, we will host a NOR AM Cup Parallel Slalom event, as well as Regional FIS competitions with US Ski & Snowboard.

“We’re being very intentional about be-

ing a resource for the winter sports community,” said Malliet. “Embracing a love for the outdoors, while acquiring skills, our participants look forward to new opportunities for their lives. Improving health, better attendance in school and the joy of new perspectives creates inflection points for these kids.

We make a difference!”

Area Churches Hold Ecumenical Nativity Program

T

by Elsie Walker he nativity is the story of the baby Jesus: the prophecy of His birth, Mary and Joseph called to be His parents, His birth in a stable in Bethlehem, the proclamation of angels to area shepherds and the visit of three wise men from the East who bring the child gifts. On December 8th at 5 p.m., members of several area churches will present the nativity story at Port Morris United Methodist Church at 296 Center Street in Landing. Parking is available on the street and behind the church in its lot on Main Street. A free will offering for a local charity will be taken. All are welcomed to attend.

This is the 17th year for this ecumenical program. For some, taking part in telling the story has become a tradition.

“The reason my family and I participate each year is both because of the community closeness and the reminder that the true meaning of Christmas is the gift of Jesus to this world - through grace. In a world full of busyness, confusion, chaos and noise, Jesus is the Light of the World. We all need light, even if for a few moments. … I am transported back in time to Bethlehem

both by my imagination and through the collective talents, to actively participate in the celebration of the birth of Jesus, my Savior,” said Stephanie Gonzalez of Valley View Chapel in Long Valley. Both Gonzalez and her daughter will be singing, with the latter doing “Happy Birthday, Jesus”.

Each year, the story is told within a theme. This year’s theme is “Make Me an Instrument of Thy Peace”. As the story unfolds, each scene’s narration will include how those involved, Joseph, Mary, Elizabeth, the shepherds and wise men are instruments of God’s peace.

The program is unique in that unlike other nativity programs, much of the action is seen in the viewer’s imagination as the narrator tells the story. Scenes are portrayed through song, puppets, and skits. The variety of musical styles present add to the telling of the story. Soloists and groups come from a variety of churches. Among the churches represented this year are Valley View Chapel, Long Valley; St. James Episcopal Church, Hackettstown; St. Michael’s Roman Catholic Church, Netcong; St. Margaret’s of Scotland, Morristown; Flanders United Methodist Church,

Mt. Olive Couple Hosts Annual Thanksgiving Dinner at Senior Center

T

By Michele DiPasquale his year, Thanksgiving Day is November 28, and for many, it is a time to gather with our friends and family to give thanks for all that is good in our lives.

Regrettably, there are those without family or friends with whom to celebrate this uniquely American holiday of gratitude, so for the fourth year in a row, Mary Lalama and her husband, Township Council President Joe Nicastro, both publishers and owners of New View Media Group - a network of local newspapers mailed to over 130,000 homes and businesses in Morris County - are hosting their Thanksgiving for all at the Mt. Olive Senior Center from 1 p.m. to 4 p.m.

The feast will be a full Thanksgiving seated dinner, beginning with appetizers and antipasti, salad and pasta, continuing on to turkey, stuffing, mashed and sweet potatoes, assorted vegetables, and finishing with an assortment of pies for dessert. Goody bags of the day’s menu are also given to everyone to take home to enjoy as leftovers.

Branda’s Italian Grill in Budd Lake, LongHorn Steakhouse in Flanders, Philly Pretzel Factory in Hackettstown, and corporate caterer Victoria Scherrer Onder are among the generous donators of the Thanksgiving

banquet. Last year, table centerpieces were created by local Girls Scouts.

When asked what prompted Lalama and Nicastro to open their hearts and offer Thanksgiving dinner to anyone who may have nowhere to go for the day, Lalama answered directly from her heart.

“My family and I were sitting around on Thanksgiving four years ago and I said ‘Look at all this food we have. We are truly blessed and fortunate, and we need to think of a way to give back.’ So I said next year we’re going to host a traditional Thanksgiving dinner for anyone who is less fortunate or anyone who will be spending the day alone.”

Forging ahead further and embracing what Thanksgiving truly is all about, Lalama and Nicastro even provide transportation for those who otherwise may not be able to join them for dinner. About 50 people have joined them so far, while some folks get their dinner delivered to their homes, as they may be unable to physically leave them.

“The dinner is for anyone - single or a family - who may be less fortunate or who just are alone for the holiday. We hate to see people spend the holidays without family or friends, so we offer them a place to come and enjoy the company of others,” Lalama

said.

And though a buffet-style dinner would be easier, Lalama insists on a fully-seated dinner, in which her children and other volunteers serve everything.

“We want everyone to feel like they are at a restaurant for the holiday,” she said.

“I love the fact that we can help people come together and provide them with good food, good conversation, and good compa-

ny. We get a lot of elderly people that just want someone to be with and know that someone cares about them. I love the look on their faces when they interact with each other and the volunteers,” Lalama said.

Lalama said people are welcome to attend without reservations but are asked to sign up in advance by calling her at 973-7681815 or emailing her at mary.lalama@gmail. com.

To Find Her Daughter, Pamela’s Determined Search

I

By Richard Mabey Jr. have the honor and pleasure of knowing Pamela Reynolds Ross, since the first grade. For the most part, we were in each other’s classes all through grade school.

We were very good friends. We stayed friends all through high school, but in attending a regional high school, sadly we lost a bit of the close friendship that we shared in grade school. Truly, Pamela is one of the kindest individuals whom I have ever known in my entire life.

Pamela has been working very hard, for several decades, to find her biological daughter, whom Pamela gave up for adoption when she was only 17 years old. This was back in 1971. It was a different time then, a different culture. Nobly, Pamela signed adoption papers, thinking that would be best for her baby daughter.

As the ink hit the paper, on the adoption papers, Pamela was truly alone. She was offered no legal counsel at all. She was offered no psychological counseling at all. The powers that be assured Pamela that she was doing the right thing. That giving up her baby daughter was for the best for her little daughter.

In a room, the size of a closet, Pamela signed the adoption papers. Then, in a matter of seconds, her precious baby was whisked away from her, never to be seen by Pamela ever again.

The biological father of Pamela’s beloved baby girl was

a 24 year old Vietnam Veteran, whom Pamela had fallen deeply in love with. Dreams of marriage, a cottage, a white picket fence, were shattered, when the love of Pamela’s life, left her and shirked his responsibilities to help Pamela raise her beloved baby girl. Sadly, Pamela’s boyfriend at the time, suffered from a serious case of Post Traumatic Stress Disorder.

Fast forward to the present time. Pamela simply wants her biological daughter to have the option to have the opportunity to meet her, if she wants. Pamela’s daughter is now 48 years old and would be capable of making that decision on her own. In Pamela’s own words, here is her perspective in a nutshell.

“The whole point is this: I’m not trying to replace the adoption family or win custody. I never wanted to put my daughter through a tug-a-war. I simply would love to know she is well. Importantly, she should have her vital health history. I’ve asked if someone would kindly contact her and let her know our contact information. At the age of 48, she can choose what she wants to do with that information.”

So without further ado, here are the essential clues to the identity of Pamela’s biological daughter, whom Pamela relinquished for adoption back in 1971: Pamela gave birth to her baby girl on January 18th of 1971, at Chilton Hospital in Pompton Plains, New Jersey.

The adoptive father was an accountant. The adoptive mother was a registered nurse. The couple had a six year old son, at the time they adopted Pamela’s baby girl. Sadly, Pamela has not been able to find a court or agency that will attempt to contact the woman who Pamela gave birth to and relinquished for adoption.

The adoption process took place on November 16th of 1971 at the Morris County Courthouse in Morristown, New Jersey. The Adoption Agency, Department of Children and Families, was also located in Morristown. The adoptive couple were both of the Roman Catholic faith.

From all indications, it appears that this couple lived in Morris County in 1971.

Sadly, these are the only clues that Pamela has, in her search to locate her biological daughter. Pamela is now 66 years old. Her biological daughter, whom she gave up for adoption, is now 48 years old. Pamela is more determined than ever to find her daughter. Pamela is emotionally prepared, if her biological daughter does not want to talk to her or see her. But for Pamela, she just longs to know if her daughter is healthy, safe and sound.

If any of these clues ring a bell for you, please do contact Pamela. Her email address is: paross@visuallink.com.

Regardless of how far reaching it may seem, if you know anyone for whom these few clues fit, please do contact Pamela. It would mean so very much to Pamela.

Car Enthusiasts Raise Money for a Comrade

I

By Elsie Walker n late August, Chris Schmidt of Roxbury was riding his motorcycle when a car came into his lane and clipped him.

Schmidt kept control of the motorcycle, but his foot was severely injured; it had to be amputated. A Roxbury Township employee for five years, as a result of the accident, Schmidt couldn’t work. Schmidt has been working to overcome what’s happened to him. Meanwhile, those who know Schmidt and his family have rallied to help them make up for the wages lost while being unable to work, plus to help with the costs for modifying his home to be wheelchair accessible. Ed Barricella, of Hopatcong, a friend and president of Cops N Rodders of North Jersey shared that some of Schmidt’s fellow Roxbury employees had given him some of their paid vacation time. A go-fund-me page was setup at www.gofundme.com/f/ caring-for-the-schmidts. Also, Schmidt was given support by a special community of friends. Schmidt with his wife, Kari, run SC3 Entertainment. Schmidt is well-known for doing the DJ duties at many area car shows and events. In late September, the Cops and Rodders car club held a fundraiser night for Schmidt that brought in $10,000 in donations to the go-fund-me page plus

between $500 - $700 more.

Cops N Rodders has been around for 20 years. Originally, its members were from the military, state police, firefighters, etc. and not only liked cars, but most of them had hot rods. That’s how it got its name.

Today, the club includes not only those from its original member base, but also regular car enthusiasts. Schmidt has not only been its DJ for six years, but also a member. Although he does not own a classic car, Schmidt has an interest in trucks.

Thursdays are usually the club’s cruise night at Wendy’s-Lowes parking lot in Hackettstown. However, one late September night Schmidt was the thought on everyone’s mind. Barricella noted that an announcement was put on Facebook that the night would be to raise money for Schmidt and invited other car clubs to come. That night about 200 cars were on display and not only members of Cops and Rodders, but those from the North Jersey Street Rodders Association and the Wanderers Car Club were on hand. Hundreds of people, car owners and spectators, came. Barricella called the night, “amazing” and said, “there were people who rode motorcycles who just came out there to support him (Schmidt).”

The Cops and Rodders usually holds a 50/50 for the local organization, “Smiles For Margaret”, which helps parents of children with cancer. However, that night, the director of that organization asked that all proceeds go to Schmidt.

The event included music with DJ Matt from Monteray Entertainment taking on the DJ duties that night.

However, in early October, Schmidt was

TARA KNOWS YOUR MARKET! MOHS Stadium

back to doing his DJ duties. Working from a trailer, one of Schmidt’s first appearances was at the Rodfather car show in Newton.

He was warmly welcomed and shared, for those who didn’t know, what happened to him. Wanting to see other people spared from what happened to him when a car suddenly came into his lane, he stressed the message of keeping one’s eyes on the road and not the phone.

Twin Sisters at Randolph High School Publish Scientific Paper

T

By Henry M. Holden o look at Jacqueline and Josephine Wu, twin sisters at Randolph High School, you would think they are typical high school seniors. You’d be right, but they have one unusual accomplishment for anyone their age.

Practical Radiation Oncology (PRO), the official journal of the American Society for Radiation Oncology recently published their research “Frequency of Large Fractional Target Motions During Spine Stereotactic Body Radiation Therapy.”

The study evaluated the efficacy of patient immobilization by analyzing spinal patients’ movements during their treatments.

“The sisters were inspired to do the research for different reasons but found commonality in their curiosity,” said Matthew Pfouts, the high school’s director of communication. “Jacqueline has ambitions to pursue a career pathway in this line of research.”

“I want to explore the medical field and see what kinds of research I could do and what I could ultimately explore,” said Jacqueline.

“Josephine on the other hand is genuinely curious,” said Pfouts. “She thought

that pursuing this research could be an area where she could expand and grow personally.”

Jacqueline and Josephine started their research in the summer of 2017 at the Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center at New York, under the Laughlin Medical Physics Internship. Together, they worked with physicists and physicians on a research project called: “Intrafractional target motion during spinal stereotactic body radiation therapy.”

The twins analyzed thousands of patient records for success rates of immobilization techniques. Their research, understandably, was challenging. “Analyzing the data from more than 1,000 patients was tedious,” said Josephine. “Sometimes I wouldn’t pay attention and later would realize we had made a mistake. We always double-checked the research we collected making it a lot more accurate with the two of us doing it.

We would have to sift back to find the error, correct it, and move on.”

“While research is fun, not all research is fun,” said Jacqueline. “You must get through the tough things because the result is worth it. Seeing the outcome of our research made it all worthwhile.”

They presented their results at the IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society’s International Conference in Las Vegas on March 4-7, 2018. Later, they submitted the manuscript to the PRO journal for consideration. After two rounds of peer-review, by physicists and physicians, the paper was accepted for publication.

The two girls learned many things. “Josephine learned how to work closely with others and how to allocate tasks to ensure their research stayed on schedule,” said Pfouts.

“In addition to being published researchers, both are incredibly accomplished at Randolph High School,” said Pfouts. “They are heavily involved in the district’s music program. They are both affiliated with several honors groups including English, math, science, and social studies honor societies.”

Jacqueline has a passion for mathematics and science. She loves competing on Science Olympiad team as well as the district’s Math League. Josephine enjoys giving back as she frequently tutors students at other continued on page 26

The New Jersey Federation of Women’s Clubs Celebrates Its 125th Anniversary

T

By Steve Sears he New Jersey State Federation of Women’s Clubs of GFWC (General Federation of Women’s Clubs) has quite a past. 125 years to be exact.

But, what this large group of Garden State women are doing now to better the current and pave the path for the future ensures another 125 years and more.

Originally founded in 1894, the NJSFWC at one time had more than 40,000 members. There are approximately 6,500 current members, with 184 clubs statewide.

Mary Wolfe, a member of the Woman’s Club of Vineland, is also current state President. “The purpose, as it says in our Mission Statement, is to provide opportunities for education, leadership training, and community service through participation in local clubs, enabling members to make a difference in the lives of others one project at a time.” She then adds, “What distinguishes NJSFWC from other volunteer organizations is that we do not have a single focus. Our member clubs across New Jersey select projects that are relevant to their members and address the needs of their communities. At the same time, NJSFWC offers clubs structure and support in their pursuit of community service. Clubs have the opportunity to join together with other federated clubs to make their impact on a project even more significant.”

And, the tradition continues. Wolfe adds, “One way clubs work together is in support of the State Project, which is currently CASA, Court Appointed Special Advocates of New Jersey. Our clubs are working to raise public awareness of the organization and provide monetary and in-kind donations. Just one example - this month clubs have been collecting craft items, such as coloring books and crayons, which will give the children in foster care an activity to do while their CASA volunteer and other adults are in discussions. Since the beginning of NJSFWC, clubs have worked tirelessly in support of legislation that is of significant importance to our Mission. Just recently, club members were asked to contact their legislator on the same day (Monday, September 23) to urge support for Miranda’s Law. (Miranda Vargas School Bus Driver Red Flag Act). This was done in conjunction with our international organization, General Federation of Women’s Clubs, which is headquartered in Washington, DC. President of GFWC Mary Ellen Brock is from New Jersey and is a member of the North Jersey Woman’s Club.”

Securing new members, as well as getting the word out to the communities served, is a challenge. Barbara McCloskey belongs to the Woman’s Club of the Denville-Rockaway area and is also Third Vice President and State Membership Chairman. “The passion of the women involved, the passion and dedication that the women have, I just feel that that passion should be better known to the communities and to the people out there. I don’t think people realize what these clubs are accomplishing or how much they’re doing.”

Wolfe also claims that communication with members state-wide is sometimes challenging as well. “I think we’re making strides with that through our website (njsfwc.org).

Whereas previously all information was sent to club presidents, now all members have access to our state newsletters, projects ideas, etc.”

Birthday #125 is being celebrated as only the NJSFWC knows how: by serving others. “Early in this administration,”

says Wolfe, “the Shining Future Endowment Campaign was started to enable NJSFWC to continue our work well into the future. Since the beginning of NJSFWC, most of our successes have been self-funded. But now we are looking to outside organizations for donations. Our dedicated website (www.njsfwcshiningfuture.org) was established to educate potential donors and provide a means to donate. With the funds, we hope to increase scholarships, work with organizations dedicated to helping survivors of sexual abuse and human trafficking, conduct a Membership Awareness Campaign and invest funds to ensure the Federation will continue its important work for the next 125 years.”

In addition, on November 16, the date of this amazing federation’s founding, the NJSFWC will hold a Day of Service. Clubs will be collecting and donating items for college students. “These items will be donated to Embrella (formerly Foster and Adoptive Family Services) for distribution to college students who have aged-out of the Foster Care System and do not have family support that is so vital to young people starting college,” says Wolfe.

New members are welcome. To learn more about what the New Jersey State Federation of Women’s Clubs and what is offered, visit www.njsfwc.org for more information.

A Thanksgiving Story

I

By Richard Mabey Jr. n early November of 1945, my Dad came home from the war. It was a wonderful, joyous time for my Dad. My Dad served in the Seventh Army Air Corps at Hickam Air Field during the Second World War. Hickam Field is adjacent to Pearl Harbor. One portion of the base’s border actually touches the border line of Pearl Harbor.

Dad was sent, with hundreds of other men, to help clean up the terrible damage that had desecrated Pearl Harbor and Hickam Air Field. Even to just days before Dad went Home to be with the Lord, he could hardly even talk about the devastation and destruction that the Japanese attack had left.

Dad worked on some of the greatest planes of World War II. Among them were the infamous single seater fighter plane, the P-51 Mustang. And, also the B-25 Mitchell bomber plane. Dad learned to become a good airplane mechanic during his time of service at Hickam Air Field.

Japan surrendered in early September of 1945 and in early November 1945, Dad returned home to his Mom and Dad and brothers and sister, in their humble home at the end of Mabey Lane in Old Lincoln Park. This was the very home that my Dad was born in. The very home that my Grandpa Mabey built, when he was a young man.

I think that the Thanksgiving of 1945 was very special and very dear to my father’s heart. He spoke of it often, over the years. Things were different then. Old Lincoln Park was a rural farming community, filled with open fields,

Dad and his Mom, Bertha Mabey, in their backyard at the end of Mabey Lane. This picture was taken in the Spring of 1946.

farms and wooded lands. There were no big supermarkets around then. In fact, Dad often talked how Grandma Mabey would buy her groceries from Mr. Wolfson, who went from house to house with his panel truck, selling groceries.

The Thanksgiving of 1945, is the very time when my

Dad and his brother, Edward, went hunting for a turkey in the woods behind their home. Grandma often told me how they came home with a turkey, both of her sons taking credit for having been the better aim. It was always a friendly, good-willed debate between the two brothers continued on page 20

I Remember Dad... continued from page 19 that extended throughout both of their lives.

The Thanksgiving of 1945, is also the time when Dad began setting up his elaborate train village. There was a little hall area, just outside of Dad’s bedroom. It was there that Dad built a long wooden table, upon which to set up his imaginative train tracks, filled with homes and stores along the tracks.

It was also the era in which my Dad got his first real, full time job as a truck driver for Moon Carrier, located in Paterson, New Jersey. After a few years of working for that company, Dad and his brother Edward started their own business, Mabey Trucking and Rigging. They rented a small trucking terminal in Paterson. The company flourished for many years.

Whenever my Dad spoke of the Thanksgiving of 1945, he would have a twinkle in his eye and a bit of a smile on his face. I regret that I never videotaped some of my father’s recollections and stories of life “right after the war.”

It was a phrase that Dad often used. It was a marker of sorts. There was the time “before the war,” and the time “after the war.” I think it marked, for my father, his days of boyhood and then his days when he became a man.

World War II was a mark of manhood for my Dad. I loved my Dad with all my heart. My Dad went Home to be with the Lord in May of 2006. I still deeply mourn his passing. There were so many stories that Dad would tell about his time at Hickam Air Field and about his return home to peace time, when the war ended. I think that the Thanksgiving of 1945 was one of the most special thanksgivings in my father’s life.

My Mom and Dad; Richard and Janet Mabey. They were married in October of 1952.

Dad loved the old Mabey Estate. So much so that when his grandmother, Dora Mabey, passed away in 1959, Dad bought the old Mabey Homestead. It still stands on the corner of Route 202 and Mabey Lane, a testament to the carpentry skills of my great grandfather, William Mabey.

This was the very home where Mom and Dad raised my sister, Patricia, and I. My Dad was a dedicated Scoutmaster of Boy Scout Troop 170 of Saint Andrew’s Episcopal Church. Dad served

as Scoutmaster from 1965 till 1993. Dad loved scouting.

He had a deep conviction that it was a good and worthy thing for a boy to be a scout and learn self reliance, morals and how to use a compass.

I can still hear the echo of my late Uncle Ed, “I know you took the first shot at that turkey, Dick. But, I’m telling you brother, it was my shot that got that old Tom Turkey.”

I’d give an eyetooth to hear that brotherly debate, just one more time.

Growing Stage’s Palace Theater Celebrates 100th Birthday

I

By Jane Primerano t’s an iconic building on Ledgewood Road in Netcong, backing up to Lake Musconetcong.

Officially named The Historic Palace Theatre, it has been home to The Growing Stage since 1995, but it is celebrating its 100th birthday this November.

The Growing Stage was the brainchild of Stephen Fredericks, who is still executive director, when he first graduated from Arizona State University. His theater major included a specialization in theater for young audiences. He started it in an old school in Chester Borough. The borough wanted to sell the school after The Growing Stage had been there 13 years, but Fredericks thought it was too big a risk to buy that building and went looking elsewhere.

When he found the Palace it was on the “let it burn” list of the local fire department. The Growing Stage bought it one day before it went to sheriff’s sale, for $100,000. Now it’s on the National, New Jersey and Morris County registers of historic places.

It was a fire trap, he admitted. “There

was trash from backstage to the front door.”

Trash and treasures, it turns out. Under a pile of mattresses, they found an old pump organ. It’s now on the balcony, in need of repair but potentially useable.

The fly building over the stage had no roof, but Ronetco Supermarkets came to the rescue with a $45,000 grant, the first of several. “The Romanos are pivotal to the Growing Stage,” Fredericks said.

Fredericks wasn’t an expert in local history but he found someone to research and found the theater was full of history.

While most people who remember The Palace call it “the dirty movie theater in Netcong,” XXX movies were only shown for a short time. “They’d be R-rated today,” Fredericks said.

The building was actually constructed in 1919 by three local businessmen who were unhappy that none of the local schools had a place for graduations or school plays. It started as a community arts center, then ran silent movies and served as a vaudeville house.

Before the present time, The Palace’s finest hours were during the 1930s when

Broadway and film actress Pauline Frederick who summered at Lake Hopatcong, pulled together a group of actors and actresses who also escaped New York City’s summers and created the Hopatcong Broadway Players. They used it to try out new material.

After its movie theater days, the building was used by a moving and storage company, which accounts for some of the detritus left inside. Cluttered and decrepit as it was, it was salvageable.

Part of The Palace’s history is that it is continued on page 26

A Holiday Roast to Remember

T

he holiday season is a perfect opportunity to gather with friends and family, and few things bring people together like an elegant, seasonal meal. Serving up a mouthwatering main dish worth celebrating can elicit rave reviews from your guests and keep them gathered around the table longer, creating lasting memories.

Creating a crowd-pleasing holiday centerpiece starts with choosing a flavorful, tender cut of meat. For example, elegant cuts like Chateaubriand (roast-size filet mignon) or Bone-In Frenched Rib Roast from Omaha Steaks, a leading provider of premium beef and gourmet foods, can serve as the focal point of a memorable meal.

Flash-frozen to capture freshness and flavor at their peak, you can select a roast handcut and carved by an expert butcher and have it delivered directly to your door.

Simple to prepare and easy to carve, all you need to do is season (or marinate) and roast before serving alongside a wine-infused sauce like Red Pepper Cranberry Sauce or Apricot and White Wine Glaze.

Growing Stage’s Palace... continued from page 22 one of the first five buildings of poured concrete construction because of the steel shortage after World War I. Local lore had it that the workmen were given a fifth of whiskey at the end of each day. Fredericks was skeptical until they found empty fifths behind wood panels.

The staff and board of The Growing Stage has raised more than $3 million for the reconstruction. “With in-kind donations and volunteers, it was probably closer to $10 million to restore.”

Much of the money came from the Morris County Historic Preservation Trust Fund’s grants. Volunteers came from parents of the children who had been involved in Chester and new friends the group made in the Netcong area.

Fredericks said The Growing Stage is fortunate the theatre wasn’t split in two like The Strand in Hackettstown or the Washington Theatre. That would have made restoration more complicated.

There is still more the staff wants to do.

They are researching a fly system now, so they can store scenery above the stage, according to Danny Campos, audience development director.

The Growing Stage is known as The Children’s Theatre of New Jersey. Fredericks puts on productions of familiar tales, often with a twist, and some less familiar stories. Children’s theater classes and camps are also offered and the Stage has offered special programs, such as dance troupes.

They offer Broadway master classes, play readings and have partnered with the Lake Hopatcong Historical Museum to present programs. One was a film series, another a one-woman show of “Lotta Crabtree.”

Campos said they will continue to partner with the museum.

Meanwhile, Growing Stage board member Laurie Kane is creating an exhibit space on the balcony. The old lighting control board is on a wall with photographs and newspaper clippings, plus a painting of the Palace by Hackettstown folk artist Ann Reeves.

Twin Sisters... continued from page 17 schools.

Both credit their education at Randolph for their success and are inspired by their teachers. “The entire staff is so helpful, and you can talk to them outside of class at any time,” Josephine said. “Everyone is so supportive, and I just love all of my teachers.”

Jacqueline cited Mrs. Kessell, an English teacher, and Mr. Douglas, a math teacher, for helping her to pursue her goals. “They maintain a high level of both fun and rigor. It’s great to be able to go to class where you can be challenged and supported. They have inspired me to pursue my dreams which includes majoring in multiple stud-

ies.”

Jacqueline intends to enroll in pre-med with objectives to pursue molecular biology, biochemistry, and English. She is not afraid to double major as she has many passions she would like to pursue.

Josephine would like to pursue a degree in history, east Asian studies or medieval studies. She believes she will one day end up in academia and would love to conduct historical research.

Both cited their parents as being key contributors to their success and for instilling the right values in them. “They inspire us to work hard and never give up on our goals,” Josephine said.

anything they choose to do. This is an opportunity to create a memory.”

Roxbury High School Unveils New Robotics Lab

A

By Steve Sears 2,500 square foot former auto shop and district storage area is the spot where Roxbury High School’s Structural Design and Fabrication and Robotics Labs was recently unveiled.

“About 2-3 years ago, the community was asked for input regarding a project called Roxbury ReImagined,” says Dominick Miller, second-year Principal at Roxbury High School. “After surveying the community, it was decided that our garage area would be ‘ReImagined’ to create Tiny Houses. The Tiny House program became our Structural Design and class. As part of ‘Roxbury ReImagined’, the decision was made to create a Robotics lab to accommodate our growing program.”

Frank Caccavale, who is in his first year at the school as its Structural Design & Fabrication instructor, also alludes to the survey Miller mentions. “’Roxbury ReImagined’ began several years ago with a survey of the community asking, ‘What are we not teaching in our schools that they would like to see?’ Skilled Trades and Robotics were at the top of the list. Our as-

sistant superintendent of curriculum and instruction took that idea and ran with it, working with an architect to design the space and worked with other district administrators to begin to develop the curriculum and what the new program will look like. I was hired last spring and was involved with the specifics and taking the course the final steps to implementation.”

The lab, which is used primarily by the robotics team and the robotics elective classes, consists of two rooms. For both the team and the elective, for whom there was no lab, both working out of two computer science classrooms, the space is refreshing. Lee Hayden, the school’s Computer Science and Robotics instructor, describes the new, beneficial room. “One is the size of a large classroom, and the other is considerably smaller. The larger room contains six workbenches with electrical outlets that can be pulled down from the ceiling, two desks, a data projector, shelves, and closets. Handheld power tools are used at the workbenches. The room also has four desktop computers and two 3D printers. Aside from the robotics

team’s fabrication needs, this room also serves those of the robotics elective. The smaller room has the team’s free-standing power tools, including two drill presses, two miter saws, a band saw, a router-based CNC table, and a plasma CNC table. There is a very large milling machine in the adjacent structural design lab.” The new space has obvious advantages. “One of the best

things about the robotics lab is that it has an external door opening to the outside, and the adjacent structural design lab has a set of double-doors opening to the outside. The robotics team has many large unwieldy pieces of equipment and its competition robot usually weighs 120 pounds.

With the lab, the team will no longer need continued on page 31

Roxbury Library is ranked Best of Morris County

I

By Michele DiPasquale t’s almost 2020, so isn’t a public library something from a bygone era? Does anyone still go to the library and borrow books? The answer is a definitive yes! But are we aware of what today’s public libraries offer other than the privilege of reading as many publications as we like - for no charge - simply by obtaining a library card?

The Roxbury Public Library is that exact wellspring of inspiration, learning, services, and joy.

“Our mission is to be the Roxbury community’s connection to learning and discovery, and for the past three years, Roxbury Library has won #1 library in the Daily Record Best of the Best Readers’ Choice Awards,” said Karen Cerreta, Program Coordinator.

Opening its doors in 1961, the Roxbury Library serves more than 200,000 visitors through its offerings of educational and enriching programs, concerts, book lending, writing groups, American Red Cross quarterly blood drives, passport services (the only passport acceptance facility in Morris County available four nights and

two weekend days), notary services, storytime for young children and even babies, weekly Mahjongg, meditation, jewelry and beading, painting and drawing sessions including “Paint and Sip” evenings, chair yoga, and even a memory café for people with early-stage memory loss (partnered with the Alzheimer’s Association; caregivers, as well as patients, are, of course, welcome). Furthermore, audiovisual materials and a vast supply of digital content can be accessed by members on their personal devices via their library card, including books, audio-books, music, and film.

And, naturally, book clubs; one of which does more than simply read and discuss: The Walking Talking Book Club meets at Horseshoe Lake Park so patrons can stroll around the lake while discussing a good read.

“I have one of the best brain-candy positions at the library! I create and curate programs for adults – everything from general enrichment to health and wellness, history, music, theatre, gardening, finance, and hands-on workshops. We try to think outside the box and truly meet

the needs of the community. One of my favorite programs this year was on basic car maintenance, where a local automotive repair shop owner came with his vehicle.

In our parking lot, our patrons got to learn up close how an engine works. Though one can read owner’s manuals, this guided tour of an engine was a much more valuable way to learn something new,” said Cerreta.

Roxbury Library’s digital services are

Miller feels the new addition complements perfectly all Roxbury High School has to offer. “We are very excited about the new programs we are offering to our students. Along with the Structural Design and Fabrication Room and the Robotics Lab, we also have created an Athletic Training and Physical Therapy Lab. This year we started a partnership with

the Morris County School of Technology to bring students throughout the county to Roxbury High School for our Athletic Training and Physical Therapy Academy.

We have great programs to support Medical Sciences and it was a great fit.”

Hayden adds, “The motto of the Roxbury school district is ‘Preparing the students of today for tomorrow’, and the new robotics and structural fabrication programs represent the ongoing effort by the school district to fulfill its stated mission.”

Did You Know?

hough women may notice various signs and symptoms that could be indicative of breast cancer, breast pain is generally not one of them. The National Breast Cancer Foundation, Inc.® notes that there are various harmless causes of breast pain, such as puberty, menstruation and child birth, but that breast pain is not

commonly a symptom of cancer. However, in rare instances breast pain may correlate with cancer. For example, breast tumors may cause pain, but cancerous tumors are not generally reported as painful. Though it may not be linked to breast cancer, breast pain should still be reported to a physician immediately, advises the NBCF.

Raritan Headwaters Association Celebrates 60 Years of Guarding Our Waterways

T

By Henry M. Holden he Raritan Headwaters Association [RHA] was formed in a 2011 merger of two successful nonprofit conservation groups, the Upper Raritan Watershed Association [URWA] and the South Branch Watershed Association [SBWA], both founded in 1959, to engage New Jersey residents in safeguarding water sources.

Then, there were few laws to protect clean water and air. The first Earth Day and the Federal Clean Water Act were more than a decade away, and the Clean Air Act was several years in the future.

Today, the RHA currently owns 10 preserves and natural areas totaling about 415 acres. It is known as a state leader in environmental education and outreach, and for their work in water quality monitoring, ecological research, habitat restoration, land preservation and active volunteer stewardship.

A watershed is the area of land that drains into a body of water such as a river, lake, stream or bay. The

470-square-mile watershed region is a part of the Raritan River Basin which drains into the Raritan Bay, and eventually the Atlantic Ocean.

The watershed is geographically defined by the ridges and valleys of the upper Raritan watershed which is in three counties, Hunterdon, Morris and Somerset.

“There are no political boundaries for a watershed,” said Cindy Ehrenclou, executive director of the RHA. “We are partially in 38 municipalities. We’re about what is in streams and groundwater in the underground aquifers which is a source of drinking water. Eighty-percent of the people in our region get their drinking water from private wells. If we want to know about the health of our watershed, we hold community well-testing events. We partner with municipalities such as Randolph, Chester, or Bedminster, for example. We sell water test kits (at a nominal fee) two weeks every year and people go to their Townhall and pick up their

well test kits.”

“We collect them and get everything sampled at a certified lab. The information we collect is private. For us it is a way to accumulate data which will give us the health of the water supply. For the homeowner, it gives them the opportunity to see if their drinking water is safe.

We’re doing the science, collecting the data on the health of the water. For instance, in Redington we discovered a trend for arsenic in the water supply.

People would not normally know that they were being exposed to this dangerous substance. So, we will sit down with them and ask about how old is their well, and how deep is the well?

It’s a little more personal than going to a store and buying a water testing kit.

People should be testing the water on a yearly basis.

If not them, then who?”

Every April, RWA sponsors a massive volunteer cleanup of rivers, streams and waterways in the region. “This year, 1,700 volunteers picked up 18-tons of trash at 46 sites along

rivers, streams, lakes, and pines in our watershed, in just three hours,” said Ehrenclou.

“We picked up everything from tires to shopping carts. All kinds of debris ends up in the streams.

We use the data we collect, and we share it with Bill Kibler, who is our policy director. He goes down to Trenton to make the lawmakers aware of this issue.”

“There is a ‘single-use’ plastic bag Bill still pending in Trenton, so we can provide the science to defend those kinds of policies being established. We can say, ‘in three hours, on April 13, we picked up 18-tons of debris. In that continued on page 33

We did a micro plastic study in South Branch, and we found that the micro plastics are making it through the water treatment plants.”

“These plastic bags and bottles overtime break down into smaller and smaller pieces and they are not being treated in treatment plants. They are going right into a drinking water supply, and nobody has a clue as to how dangerous this is.”

Another issue the RHA is dealing with is stormwater runoff. “Contaminated stormwater runoff this past summer is why Lake Hopatcong and Spruce Run, major summer entertainment spots and other lakes were closed,” said Ehrenclou. “They’re dealing with stormwater runoff from fertilizers, from oils in a parking lot and other contaminants.”

“Stormwater runoff is the biggest problem in our waterways today,” Ehrenclou said. “Once you cut down the forest and you pave it over with ballfields, grass and parking lots, it becomes compressed land.

When it rains the water runs off carrying with it any pollutants that are on the ground, such as wildlife droppings, fertilizers, pesticides, herbicides, oil from cars, and pet wastes, and even runoff from septic tanks. It all rushes into the stream because it does not have the trees and vegetation to slow it down and filter it, so, it’s going to end up in the waterways.”

“The water may look clear, but then suddenly you see algae bloom which will make the water warmer and more toxic.

Harmful algae blooms occur when there is too much phosphorus introduced into a lake. When this happens, and it’s sunny and hot- photosynthesis occurs and the phosphorus turns into toxic bacteria, (cyanobacteria), a blue-green mix that can cause rashes to flu-like symptoms in humans and, in some cases, death in pets.”

“It’s just not a good situation. Some people say ‘oh it will fix itself’ but that doesn’t always happen. Sometimes an intervention will help, but other times there is permanent damage to the environment.

Everything you do on land affects the water quality.”

“It all comes from stormwater runoff,

and the damage occurs when there is a big development, such as changing a forest into

ballfields and parking lots.” For more information see www.raritanheadwaters.org.

Climbing Beyond Cancer:

Randolph Climbing Center Hosts Fundraiser No. 17 Vol. 1 for Epic Experience

O

n the evening of Saturday December 15, Randolph Climbing Center (RCC) hosted an event Climbing Beyond Cancer to fundraise for the organization Epic Experience.

Epic Experience provides free weeklong adventure ex-

periences to adults who have been diagnosed with canacer. “Most organizations that existed at the time when Epic Experience was founded focused on kids or young adults. Epic Experience is the only one who does adults and all stages of Cancer, both

those currently in treatment and survivors,” says Sabine Schwab, who organized the event.

Schwab, 36, of Roxbury, was diagnosed with brain cancer in 2014 at age 32, shortly after giving birth to her daughter. Her tumor was about the size of a golf

ball. “I had open brain surgery, six weeks of daily radiation, and a year of chemotherapy,” says Schwab. She is a brain cancer survivor of almost five years now and devotes much of her time volunteering.

“I have dedicated my life to the cancer community. I serve on various boards, and I’m a speaker and advocate in the brain tumor community,” says Schwab.

Schwab a ttended an Epic Experience camp in May 2015.

Schwab’s experience brought her white water rafting on the Colorado River, among other activities. “It’s not just the adventures that bring the healing,” says Schwab, “they also make time for group discussions with commonly shared fears and questions along the cancer journey.”

Schwab joined the

In 2017, she became the Alumni Team lead, and in 2018 joined the Board of Directors.

Freeholders Fete Retiring Butler Nutrition Site Manager

he Morris County Board of Freeholders have honored 37-year county employee Kathleen Fairlamb of Butler, awarding her a county resolution of thanks and congratulations for four decades of helping to make sure Morris County’s senior-citizens-in-need received meals each day via the county’s Butler Nutrition site.

Kathleen was joined by her son, Preston, and sisters Hazel and Sharon, at a ceremony held for her retirement on Sept. 25 at the Morris County Board of Freeholders’ meeting in Morristown.

Mrs. Fairlamb started working for the county in 1983 and has been a mainstay at the Butler location, serving not just meals but great humor and compassion, and acting as a mentor and trainer to younger people entering the field of public service.

“She became a respected member of the community, loved by the seniors she serves and the staff with whom she works,’’ said Freeholder Director Doug Cabana, who awarded Kathleen the resolution. “She set an example of exemplary service, making our county a better place to live and work.’’

Under her direction, the team at Butler Nutrition serve an average of 10,000 congregate meals each year and prepare an additional 20,000 meals annually for home delivery.

“I think it is such an important program to have here in Morris County, to make sure we feed our seniors. It is a

wonderful program and I do hope it continues forever and ever,’’ Fairlamb told the freeholders.

To the audience, she said: “It’s been a wonderful time

here and I have had a wonderful life. I just want to thank all of the people who came here today, and I will love you all for the rest of my life.”

Hi, Thanksgiving has always been one of my favorite holidays - Family and Friends spending time together, enjoying the comfort foods we love and don't feel guilty eating that day.

"Giving Thanks" for the special blessings in our lives.

I think it's very appropriate at this time of year to especially thank our "Clients" and "Fellow Local Residents & Friends" who have entrusted us with their moves and those who recommended us on what is one of the biggest financial & emotional times in people's lives!

We will continue to work hard for all of our clients over this Holiday Season to ensure all their moves are successful & positive!

So, please let us know if you need or know someone who needs any real estate help!

Happy Thanksgiving!
