Community Pulls Together To Raise The Roof For Five Year Old Boy

hether it’s eating ice-cream, golfing, vending at a craft fair or simply wearing a t-shit, locals can pick from various fundraisers to support a home remodeling project that will help a local family. Levi Spencer of Succasunna was born with Spina bifida, a birth defect leaving him permanently paralyzed from the waist down. Up until the age of four, his parents could manage his care, but as he is getting older and bigger, taking care of Levi in their three-bedroom ranch is getting tight.

This past May, Levi’s parents- Jillian and Jason Spencer, kicked off a fundraising campaign called “Raising The Roof For Levi” in an effort to do just that. Their goal is to raise funds for some projects such as a larger bathroom, living space and equipment storage. “We are home remodeling for a second story,” says Jillian. “Up until now it’s been easy,” taking care of Levi, says Jillian. Last year they got him a wheelchair; he is able to get around with leg braces and walkers. But “carrying him is getting heavy; the bathroom is a two

hour process. We need an accessible bathroom.” Jillian figured, “If we are doing a bathroom, we need to do this; it kind of escalated from there,” she says. The Spencers need things in their home that promote independence for Levi so he can have access to the bathroom and kitchen like a counter height wheelchair, roll in shower, changing station area and higher sink for a wheelchair to roll under so he can wash his hands , explains Jillian. They started fundraising in May when Levi turned four. For their kick-off they sold T-shirts with “Raising The Roof For Levi” logo on the back that were discounted by Dezine Line in Ledgewood; Rita’s Italian Ice hosted a fundraiser allocating proceeds to the Spencer’s campaign. During field day in June, third graders at Kennedy Elementary School in Succasunna, where Levi attends preschool, sold lemonade, rais-

ing $400 for Levi’s campaign. “They just love Levi,” says Jillian of the students. “They see him in the hall, they said let’s see how we can support our friend.” One month prior, in May, one of the parents from Levi’s class who is the director of a Little Gym in Summit, hosted a fundraiser there

offering open play and music. She was able to raise $1,700 and allocated 100 percent of the proceeds to help the Spencer family, says Jillian. Another event was a music class with Merry Musicians at Horseshoe Lake in Succasunna; 100 percent raised from the children interactive music concert went

to Levi’s campaign, adds Jillian. Out of their $100,000 goal, the Spencers have already raised $13,000. “It’s very overwhelming,” says Jillian regarding all of the community support they have received so far. “We’re hesitant to reach out like this; we are usually the continued on next page

continued from previous page ones to give, but realized the necessity. It’s very humbling. We are overwhelmed with everyone’s generosity. It’s been a huge blessing.” Levi is one of three siblings. His five year old brother, Shane, will be starting kindergarten next month at Kennedy Elementary School; and his younger sister, Ruby, is one. Jason works for an environmental company in Randolph and is involved in oil tank removal; Jillian stays home with her kids and works in photography. It was during her 16-week routine blood work when she found out that her baby would be born with Spina bifida, meaning split spine. The birth defect develops during the fifth week of pregnancy and affects the spinal cord from completely closing thus leaving it exposed causing nerve damage and paralysis, she describes. Levi had to have back surgery when he was only six hours old to close the lesion on his back to prevent infection, she says. Although he cannot walk, Levi goes to a main stream pre-school as “he scored really high,” Jillian says proudly. The connection at

the schools and the community is the driving factor that is keeping the Spencers in their current home. They have “been looking for a new house,” says Jillian, “but everything we could afford, it would need a major overhaul anyway.” The plan is to stay put. “We like the school system here,” says Jillian, “to go anywhere doesn’t make any sense. We figured we would stay where we enjoy the town; our church is here, our families are nearby,” with her family in Randolph and Jason’s in Roxbury. Current fundraisers include a Cliff’s Icecream Coupon Book for $10. The book includes $100 worth of coupons such as discounts on ice-cream, combo meals, $50 off of catering and more. What is nice about the book is the coupons do not expire, says Jillian. Since sales of the coupon book began in June, the Spencers have sold 190 already and just ordered 100 more books. Another fundraiser, a Golf Scramble, is set to be held Mon., Sept 26, at Berkshire Valley Golf Course in Oak Ridge with registra-

tion at 8 a.m., breakfast and kick-off at 9 a.m. The golf event includes lunch. Cost is $150 per player; $85 for non-golfers who just want food, to watch and try their luck at a raffle or 50/50s. Hole sponsorships will also be available inviting families or businesses to advertise their logo family name at any of the 18 holes. Register for the Golf Scramble by Sept. 10; email miannicelli3@gmailcom. A percentage of the proceeds will go toward Rais-

ing The Roof For Levi. Vendors can sign up for a Craft Vending Fair set for Nov. 19, 10 a.m. to 3 p.m., at Hillside Church in Succasunna. Home business vendors such as Pampered Chef and Mary Kay, can sell their products, promote their business and proceeds will go toward the Spencers’ home remodel fund. Stay tuned for other upcoming fundraisers. For more information, go to Prayforlevi.com or on Facebook.

Siblings Sell Lemonade To Aid Families Of Slain Officers

By Cheryl Conway ne local grandma is handing down some of her traditions to her grandkids, such as working hard to make money, running an old fashioned lemonade stand and giving to others. Anita Fehsal of Succasunna, and three of her 14 grandchildren, spent two hot days in July selling lemonade. Rather than keeping the profits for their own piggy banks, the siblings gave their proceeds to the Roxbury Police Department to send to the families of the five Dallas policemen slain recently. Cameron Fehsal, 12, a seventh grader at Eisenhower Middle School; Kendall, 11, a sixth grader at Lincoln Roosevelt Elementary School; and Nathan, 9, a fourth grader at Kennedy Elementary School, spent three hours each day on Thurs., July 14, and Fri., July 15 selling cups of lemonade for 50 cents on the driveway in front of their grandma’s house on Honeymoon Drive. Despite the heat, the young entrepreneurs raised $156.15 from the lemonade stand, a lot more than what they anticipated.

“They ended up doing very well,” says Anita Fehsal. “I was a supervisor, sitting back in the shade. They did all the selling, they did all the pouring.” Fehsal was amazed by the number of people that just stopped to give money without taking a cup of refreshing lemonade to satisfy their palate. “Some people stopped and gave money,” she says. One girl drove by and gave all her change. It was so nice; it’s not that they wanted the lemonade. They saw the sign and wanted to donate.” Another person stopped and handed her granddaughter $5 to add to the pot. A local coach stopped by her house and handed her an envelope with more money to give to the RPD to add to her donation. “He collected it at his job,” says Fehsal. Instead of making the lemonade, Fehsal bought four gallons of Turkey Hill Lemonade. “You buy it made,” she says. “It’s good lemonade.” And on sale for two gallons for $4, “so I got a deal. We sold it all.” Selling lemonade and giving the pro-

ceeds to the families of the slain officers in Dallas was Kendall’s idea. “She said ‘let’s have a lemonade stand’ and then decided where to give the money,” says Fehsal. “We discussed what are we going to do with the money this time.” The Dallas police shootings had been all over the news that week, says Fehsal. “She was thinking of the kids whose fathers were

shot.” Also, her older sister who is attending college was thinking she may want to become a police officer. On Mon., July 18, the Fehsals brought their proceeds to the RPD. “They felt great; they were very proud of themselves,” says Fehsal about her grandkids. continued on next page

Young Man Strives To Keep Community Clean By Picking Up Trash

By Cheryl Conway teven Young of Succasunna makes it a habit to walk four miles every day to lose weight and burn some energy to help him sleep. He walks to improve his health, but little does he realize that he is improving the health of everyone around him. During his daily activity, which he has been doing for the past six years, Young picks up any garbage or recyclables along the way and properly disposes them by either placing the items in the garbage or recycling bins. While he admits that he does not think his actions are a big deal, Young’s efforts to clean up his community has not gone unnoticed. The 24 year old recently received the 2016 NJ Clean Award by the New Jersey Clean Communities Council. The volunteer award is presented every year at the NJCCC annual conference, this year held in May in Atlantic City. “I was surprised, I didn’t think I’d get one [an award],” says Young. “What I was doing wasn’t important to earn an award. I just walk; I just focus on walking.”

During his walks, Young picks up garbage such as cigarette butts, pieces of paper, plastic bottles and cans. “I throw them in the garbage can when we get home or put them in the recycling,” he says, adding that he picks up less than 10 items of garbage per walk. “I don’t have a reason,” Young replied when asked why he picks up the garbage. “It’s just something I started doing one day and I never really stopped.” During the day, Young works at Green Vision, Inc., in Randolph, a facility that hires developmentally disabled individuals to disassemble and recycle electronic items. He has worked there for three years. “It’s the perfect fit for Steven,” says his mother, Sheri Young of Succasunna. “It fits his interest.” She is so proud of him. “It’s so amazing that he puts features of autism to really good use,” she says. “I have to make up rules that we don’t pick up litter in the city; he’d be there all day.” Sheri likes to accompany her son during his walks. “I usually walk with him and help carry

stuff,” says Sheri. The pair walks in the neighborhood four miles a day in the evening for about an hour. “He likes to pick up cigarette butts too; he fills his pockets.” Young, who has two younger brothers, would rather walk alone sometimes. “It’s easier,” he says. “I don’t like to wait for her or anything. She’s too slow.” Sheri introduced her son to cleanups when he was about eight years old. As den

leader for her Cub Scout Pack for Steven’s younger brother, she would bring him along to help. “We did roadside cleanups with my Cub Scout pack,” she explains. “Steven wasn’t in Cub Scouts but he came along. We would do county roads to raise money for Scouts.” Young’s autism has conditioned him to desire things that are “very orderly and struccontinued on next page

If something is not recycled he picks it up.� When Young got the award, Sheri says “I was so proud of him, he’s had a lot of issues to deal with but he’s managed to turn things around and use his disability to his advantage.�

Sheri explains that her son had started out “non-verbal and not part of the community and now he has people watching out for him and he has a lot of friends in the community.� Liz Sweedy, Senior Recycling specialist and Morris County Clean Communities Coordinator of the Morris County Municipal Utilities Authority, gave Young some gloves, a vest and poker to pick up the garbage. It

was Sweedy who nominated Young for the award. “I first met Steven Young when he was a young boy,� says Sweedy. “His Mom, Sheri Young, a totally amazing lady, was a Boy Scout leader and her cub scouts participated in litter cleanups, 15 years ago, through the Morris County Clean Communities program. I also gave a presentation to the Cub Scout group about litter abatement and introduced them to “The Wartville Wizard.� The book takes place in a small town where many of the residents display poor behavior by littering. The wizard in the story makes the litter return to each person who littered and makes it stick to them. Needless to say, Steven Young took this story to heart and learned that litter is not good for the environment, people and animals. Litter on roadways causes accidents that may result in death!� Sweedy nominated Young, submitting the application in March 2016, because “he is very deserving of this honor and award. He collects (picks up) litter nearly every single day! He recycles those items that are acceptable recyclables and properly disposes of the trash. Steven is an amazing young man! Al-

though he may have some limitations, Steven is committed to cleaning up litter and making his community a litter free place that is a healthier place to live. The clean communities’ volunteer award is an important one as it encourages others to clean up their world. “It is important to acknowledge those who do an outstanding job cleaning up litter and protecting the environment,� says Sweedy. “Litter is an ongoing problem here in Morris County and we spend a lot of money cleaning up litter every year,� she says. “Illegally dumped trash can be found in the most pristine wooded areas near beautiful streams and rivers here in Morris County. This breaks my heart. Some people refuse to understand how these unacceptable acts cause harm to wildlife and our watershed areas. “These people are very selfish and do not worry about the future of our fragile planet Earth,� says Sweedy. “Shame on those who litter. Through our Clean Communities educational programs, along with our enforcement department, we strive to change the attitudes of those who litter.�

New Volleyball Club Raises The Level For Local Players

By Cheryl Conway or those who want to up their skills at volleyball, there is a new club in town just getting off the ground.

Xtreme Volleyball Academy just opened its doors with a sneak peek event held Sat., Aug. 27. The new club is located on Hillcrest Ave., off of Route 10 West in Ledgewood. Programs are set to begin Sept. 1 with tryouts for club programs to begin Nov. 4. At the sneak peek, visitors were invited to meet volleyball coaches and staff, tour the gym and learn about the innovative programs, methodologies and technologies used by the U.S.A. Volleyball Team now being offered by this newly formed, educational, non-profit organization. Programs at this new facility will aim to take volleyball players to a greater level through professional instruction and personal growth, explains Co-Founder and Director of Operations Allison Hayward of Ringoes. “We feel we have created something special here since we plan to offer programs and instructions for every level of skills all while helping individuals and teams grow in their sense of sportsmanship, commitment, character, and community,” explains Hayward. “Our primary objective is to help players develop skills not only as athletes, but also as individuals. Life is about setting and achieving goals – we plan to do that every day here.” XVA will offer eight week club programs on the national,

regional and local levels. In addition, it will offer specialized academy programs for middle and high school players, as well as adult volleyball, beach, a boys’ team and the newest program – Parent Volleyball and Me. Co-Owner and Director of Coaching Braulio Rivera of Flanders, who developed the program explains, “The Parent Volleyball and Me is a one-of-a-kind experience for children ages five to ten to enjoy with their parents/guardians. It’s a very fun, positive instructional program that builds confidence and a bond between the child and parent/guardian.” A seasonal girls’ program, for girls 13-18, will run from Nov. through May in an effort to get local girls to compete at nationals, explains Hayward. Tournaments will be held in Jan. 2017, with about five to seven single day events at the Ledgewood location and three to four away tournaments on weekends in the northeast such as Connecticut, Philadelphia and Pittsburgh. The club program is sanctioned by the Garden Empire Volleyball Association (GEVA) area of USA Volleyball, says Hayward. At XVA, players will be divided into three levels of play based on skill and preference, explains Hayward. The purple level is the highest ranking team with three weekly practices; green team is the regional level with two weekly practices; and white team is a local team for players involved in other sports. In order to get on a team, girls must try out during the

week of Nov. 4, with 10 to 12 players selected per team. There will also be an eight week boys’ volleyball program starting in Sept. for ages 10 to 13. While the club just had its sneak peak, XVA did offer a 10 week Beach Season program this summer that ended in June, adds Hayward. Girls and boys, ages 11 to 17, participated in a training program to learn how to play volleyball on the beach. The 65 players scrimmaged each other and then some went on to play in tournaments at Seaside and Point Pleasant beaches. With other volleyball clubs as far as 40 minutes away, XVA is attracting volleyball players from local areas such as Roxbury, Mt. Olive, Mendham, Randolph, Hackettstown, says Hayward. Like other sports, volleyball is offered through school and recreation programs but at XVA volleyball players can experience the greatest techniques in training and technology to bring them to that next level. continued on next page

continued from previous page “Recreation Volleyball is a great way to introduce any sport to any child in the beginning,” says Co-Founder and Club Director/Head Coach Cindy Rivera of Flanders. “However, for those that really love and develop a passion and truly want to excel in the game, continuous training and competing in the higher level of competition will help them become a much better and consistent player which will help our high school program competing in much more competitive levels.” XVA offers an innovative approach called Xcel and new equipment such as VERT. “The future of volleyball is here at XVA,” says Rivera. “We have developed Xcel, a training methodology that combines traditional best practices with the effective use of the newest technologies. Players learn correct volleyball technique, how to condition for strength, prevent injury, and maintain a positive attitude, while living a healthy lifestyle and working as a team.” Hayward explains the Xcel method combines “training, conditioning, methods of nutrition; measuring all of that, what their jumps

are, what they’re strong in. They will get an overall evaluation of what they are doing.” Players will be trained at XVA then can go online at home for training and conditioning and to review videos “to see what they did wrong and how to accomplish their goals.” To measure a player’s jump, XVA will be using a new technology called VERT. “Through the use of new equipment like VERT, the same technology used by the USA Volleyball Team for measuring jump performance, and Live Video Delay software, we enable our players to see real time action to assist them in improving performance,” says Rivera. “We feel we are combining the best of traditional and modern training methods and are really excited to have players come out and experience it for themselves.” XVA is an educational and instructional 501-C- 3 non-profit organization dedicated to instructing volleyball players through expert training and competitive play. All money goes back into the 7,000 sq. ft. facility to pay for rent and coaches. The facility features an Olympic size court, lounge and Wi-Fi.

by Ashley Bouwense oxbury Township Manager Christopher Raths goes the distance for Roxbury Township—four miles every Friday, that is—to learn how he can better help the town through his Run with the Manager initiative. For eight Fridays during the summer months, Raths meets at 6 p.m. at the Horseshoe Lake Recreation Complex to make his inspections while he runs around the park. During this time, he invites Roxbury citizens to run or walk with him to voice any concerns they have about the state of their community. August 19 was going to be the last scheduled Run with the Manager for 2016. A few issues like road conditions, parks upkeep and high grass are a few examples of which people have informed Raths. “I first started this about ten years ago because I wanted to get out to the community of Roxbury Township,” Raths said. “I wanted to be able to inspect the parks and, at the same time, give the residents a time to talk about areas that need to be looked over and given extra attention.” Raths runs with about four to five people

Township Manager Goes The Extra Mile every Friday during the summer. Residents do not have to register to run; they can simply meet Raths at the park to run and chat at a comfortable pace. Raths brings a notepad and pen with him to jot down what people have to say while also noting his own concerns he observes during the run. Sometimes, Raths will stop people along his running route to ask them questions about the state of the parks. Even though it is a running initiative, people do not have to run with Raths to voice their concerns. They can jog or walk with him, or they can even meet him on the trail and stop him for a quick chat. Raths even explained that residents can simply give him a phone call or send him an email if they felt more comfortable using those modes of communication. The Friday runs may be canceled for inclement weather. Not only is Run with the Manager a good way to promote a healthy lifestyle in town, it helps promote citizen involvement in township affairs. “I enjoy learning about the communities and learning about new people,” said Raths. “I think Run with a Manager has been a

‘good run’ for multiple reasons” he said. “One, it gets my eyes on other outstanding communities; two, I can inspect the work people are doing in the parks; and three, it gives the public an opportunity to bring concerns directly to administration staff.” Raths encourages Roxbury citizens to have an open dialogue with him, so whether that means lacing up their running shoes or

picking up their phones, he is open to hearing what residents have to say so he can better serve the Roxbury Township community. Residents can email Raths their concerns to rathsc@roxburynj.us or call his office at 973-448-2002. To check run cancellations due to weather, visit the township website at www.roxburynj.us.

New Volleyball Club...

continued from page 9 ment and tournaments. It was founded by Cindy and Braulio Rivera and Allison and Mark Hayward, along with coaches with decades of experience, a board of trustees who have extensive experience in the operation and management of Junior Volleyball Clubs, and volunteers who give their time and expertise behind the scenes. The Haywards’ 16-year old daughter had been playing club volleyball for five years when they met the Riveras. Cindy was Haywards’ daughter’s coach. “Cindy and I started brainstorming; next thing you know we are sitting in Ledgewood opening a volleyball club,� says Hayward. “It’s different,� says Hayward, “it’s not your normal come to a practice or tournament.� It offers college recruiting advice like applying for scholarships, provides a videographer for recruiting videos and will host a College Panel Day. The Riveras both played varsity volleyball in high school, college and organized adults USVBA teams for 20 plus years; have been coaching volleyball at the high school and

recreation levels for 10 years; and were involved in the Mt. Olive Recreation Volleyball, Mt. Olive Middle School Travel Program and Beach Volleyball to Mt. Olive and neighboring townships. Cindy is currently the president for the MOHS Volleyball Parent Booster Club. They also organized and ran a summer junior clinic benefiting the MOHS Volleyball program two years in the row. “This has become one of the biggest fund raising events we have to help MOHS's volleyball program,� says Rivera. They passed their love of the game to their daughter Brittany, a junior at MOHS, who plays on the MOHS Varsity Team and was chosen to be on the 2014 United States Junior Beach High Performance team. “Volleyball is a sport that can be taught to play regardless of your age,� justifies Rivera. “It's a sport that involved both mind and physical abilities. It's a very strategic game and it does take certain finesse as well.� For additional information on XVA and its upcoming programs, club news, schedule and events, visit www.xtremevbacademy.com or call (862) 219-5696.

Roxbury Community School Gardening Club Flourishes

he Roxbury Community School’s gardening club is growing all new green thumbs under Farmer Dan’s supervision. Students in preschool through fourth grade had the opportunity to be a part of Kennedy School’s Gardening Club where they met May, June, and July. Students signed up to learn hands-on about flowers and plants while learning gardening basics, techniques, and practical skills for the spring and fall. Students this summer also enjoyed garden projects and crafts. “Summer is a time to watch plants flourish, maintain crops, plant a second crop rotation, and harvest produce such as tomatoes, cucumbers, and more,” said program instructor Daniel Colditz. “The garden needs proper nourishment, water, and cultivating which is depending on the students who are active participants.” The Kennedy School Garden produces strawberries, beans, zucchini, tomatoes, cucumbers, pumpkins, cabbage, and more. The garden also has its own herb and flower garden that needs tending throughout the season. Stay tuned for the upcoming year’s schedule which can be found at www.roxbury.org/KidsCorner.

Talent Show Of Hope Supports Charities After A Dozen Years

By Brianna Kudisch heresa Solazzo is no stranger to philanthropy. She’s organized countless events, from lemonade stands to bake sales, to help raise money in the summer for charity. But her largest success to date is the annual “Talent Show of Hope,” a large-scale charitable event that recently had its 12th run on Aug. 5. What started as a local production on Solazzo’s deck in 2005 involving her kids and neighbors slowly grew to a yearly community event that raised more than $5,000 in mostly cash with some goods. More than 200 people attended this past show, which was held in Roxbury High School’s auditorium for the sixth consecutive year. Solazzo commented on the gradual progression of the event’s popularity through the multiple location changes

it’s had throughout the years. “It [the show] went from here, our deck, to a little stage by our neighbor’s and then it went to Eisenhower [Middle School] and then to the high school,” she said, laughing. The money raised will send goods and money to a number of locations, including a multi-purpose vehicle to Africa, clothing and textbooks to Nepal, Albania, Guatemala, and bicycles Haiti, just to name a few. Additionally, school supplies will be sent to St. Augustine in Newark and Roxbury Social Services will receive donated items. Spread over 20 acts, Talent Show of Hope highlighted a variety of dances, songs, and musical pieces from 25 performers and special guests. Each act was approxi-

mately three minutes long, and all the performers prepared on their own time. The program aims to be wholesome entertainment, filled with positive music and inspiring pieces. In addition to the talent of the night, approximately 50 volunteers, including crew members, emcee’s and a stage manager, helped Solazzo keep the show running smoothly. With only one group rehearsal, the talent show had the potential to be chaotic. However, everything ran efficiently with no mistakes. Solazzo credits God for the success of the event. “I just thank God, with prayer, that it comes together nicely,” she said. During intermission, additional entertainment was available through the performer “Magic Jason,” who performed magic tricks in the foyer. Event organizers also played the EP of musician Mike Liegel during this time, who was one of the performers from the show. The finale involved Reba Macintyre’s video, “Pray for Peace,” and a variety of performers, staff and others together on stage. “It truly was a beautiful night of sharing,” said Solazzo. Food and gifts were sold during the show to help with proceeds, along with ticket prices. Despite losing some advertising this year, the event continues to receive dedicated support from local churches and community families, making Talent Show of Hope a success, year after year. Solazzo has seen Talent Show of Hope host larger amounts before. Last year’s show drew a crowd of around 400 people, marking it as the largest Talent Show of Hope Salozza has organized to date. Solazzo is still taking donations for cash and gently used items to send to the Philippines. To donate, contact her at (973) 927-3978 or visit “Talent Show of Hope” on its page on Facebook.

Better Boxed Lunch And After-School Snack Ideas

aking food fun is a simple way to get kids excited about smart eating. Bring on the fun this back-to-school season with bento box lunches: a selection of kid-size portions filled with bite-size finger foods. Bento box-style eating is gaining popularity among both adults and kids, because it makes it easy to manage portion sizes, and is a great way to encourage variety at mealtime. Learn how to create a bento box that will make your child the envy of the lunch table with these tips: • Choose a container with ample space for a variety of foods. Some containers feature detachable units, which can be handy for changing up your configuration. • When it comes to filling your box, the more creative your approach, the better. Mix and match colors and textures for a well-rounded, fun and flavorful meal. Because they require no chopping, peeling or coring, fresh grapes are an easy add-in to bento box lunches. Healthy, great tasting and refreshing, they pair well with a wide range

of box-friendly items, such as sandwiches, crackers and cheese, nuts and yogurt. • Get kids involved by turning lunch assembly into age-appropriate education. Little ones can practice their colors, while older kids can put math skills to use by counting, adding and subtracting. • Invest in a few simple tools to boost the fun factor. Cookie cutters transform boring sandwiches into exciting nibble-worthy shapes. Silicone baking cups are ideal for smaller items if you’re using a container without dividers (and they add a colorful touch to the divider styles, too). After school, put a fresh twist on favorites, such as pizza, with ingredients that pair well and can be easily assembled. This Chocolate Pizza features a hazelnut spread and red California grapes, which add a burst of juicy flavor and freshness. Find more recipes to make lunchtime fun time, as well as snacks to fuel up for homework and other after-school activities, at grapesfromcalifornia.com. continued on next page

Aggressive Efforts Made To Keep Lake Musconetcong Clean

By Jane Primerano ake Musconetcong is a peaceful place. On an overcast summer day a family of swans lounges near the boat launch on Barney’s Way in Stanhope. The normally aggressive parent birds barely acknowledge a visitor taking photos as the cygnets play at the water’s edge. In years past bass fishing organizations booked tournaments on the lake, children learned to swim at the municipal beaches and the lake was full of recreation. Weed growth curtailed use of the lake, although there is still some boating, Earl Riley, chair of the Lake Musconetcong Regional Planning Board said. The lake was originally a swamp with the Musconetcong River cutting through it. When the Morris Canal and Banking Corp. needed water for the canal in the early 19th Century, they built the dam between Netcong and Stanhope and created the lake. Eutrophication is reversing the process. “It’s a natural progression,” Riley said. “It wants to be a swamp.” The major weapons against weeds are two weed harvesters. The harvesters have cutting blades and a conveyor that brings the weeds onto the boat where they can be transferred to a truck and taken to a landfill. The large harvester belongs to the planning board purchased with a state grant in 2000. The smaller one belongs to the Lake Hopatcong Commission and came into possession of the planning board under an agreement struck by former State Park employee Steve Ellis.

Fully Insured Free Estimates

When the commission was looking for funding to pay for harvesting, Ellis, then superintendent of the northwest region, secured $40,000 in funding for Lake Hopatcong on the condition Lake Musconetcong could use the harvested under a memorandum of understanding to be renewed annually. Lake Hopatcong’s harvesting equipment was in a warehouse in Franklin for years because the commission didn’t have a budget for harvesting. When the equipment was purchased by the since-disbanded Lake Hopatcong Regional Planning Board, there were several full-time employees and a sufficient budget for maintenance of the equipment. The state gradually cut back and now gives Lake Hopatcong $155,000 each year for harvesting. Because of the state money and the fact the State Park Commission runs the harvesting, Lake Hopatcong cannot use volunteers to run the harvesters. Lake Musconetcong doesn’t take state money, so it does use volunteers, Riley said, paying liability and personal injury insurance out of the board’s budget. Although both lakes are owned by the state under the terms of the dissolution of the Morris Canal and Banking Corp., the Lake Musconetcong Regional Planning Board was established in 1990 and has continued, unlike the Lake Hopatcong Regional Planning Board. Lake Musconetcong’s is one of only two regional planning boards in the state, Riley said. The other is in South Jersey. Funding is from the four towns and two counties around the lake, Riley said.

continued from page 24 Morris and Sussex counties each contribute 12.5 percent of the budget. The municipalities are assessed according to their lake frontage. Byram Township is responsible for three percent because it has a tiny piece of shoreline in Byram Cove. Stanhope contributes 46 percent, Netcong somewhere around 30 percent and Roxbury about 20 percent, Riley said. He pointed out actually Byram had the most frontage originally. Hopatcong and Stanhope both seceded from Byram. The section of Byram that touches the lake may simply be a surveying error when Stanhope seceded, Riley said. It was in that Byram Cove area that water chestnuts were first discovered. An invasive species, they are described by Dr. Fred Lubnow of PrincetonHydro, environmental consultants for both Lake Hopatcong and Lake Musconetcong, as having leaves that float on the surface and spiky seed pods below. Riley said the invaders’ seeds probably were brought in on waterfowl. Lubnow said even though the water chestnut problem was severe, Lake Musconetcong has taken actions that are helping considerably. Several years ago, the former chair of the

casionally hit a 19th Century stump with the harvester,� he added. Dredging would take care of the depth problems, but the cost is estimated at $60 million, Riley said. He explored offsetting the cost of dredging by digging out and selling the peat, but it isn’t cost effective, he said. So, for now, Riley and his team of volunteers will continue to harvest the weeds to keep residents, and the 64 swans he has counted on the lake, happy.

depth is much less. The towpath is only submerged at all because the dam was raised after the canal was deactivated, holding back more water. When the lake is lowered for maintenance or docks or other structures, people walk on the towpath, Riley said. Multiple core samples reveal nearly four feet of muck. Beneath the sludge is a layer of peat somewhere between 3.5 and 4.5 feet deep. “It was a forest,� Riley said. “We oc-

planning board, Doug Zellman, founded the Lake Musconetcong Community Association, made up of lakefront property owners and friends of the lake. It is a 501c3 organization so it can raise funds for lake preservation. The LMCA pays for herbicide application in front of private property. With the weed harvesters running five days a week, often with both the large and small harvesters on the water, and the herbicides, weeds seem to be under control on the surface. However, even with harvesting, not all of the weeds are pulled out of the lake and herbicides merely kill the weeds and allow the dead vegetation to fall back onto the lake bottom. For this reason, the planning board is experimenting with probiotics, sludge eating bacteria. The enzyme-enhanced bacteria come in pellet form and ingest the sludge. In areas it has been tried the water column has increased between six and 12 inches. In a lake as shallow as Musconetcong, that’s a big improvement. Riley said a bathometric study by PrincetonHydro, the planning board’s environmental consultant, revealed the average lake depth is 4.5 feet. The deepest section, where the river runs through it, is only about six feet. Where it covers the canal towpath, the

Local Youth Create A Village To Raise Awareness About Homelessness

By Cheryl Conway ome brought their sleeping bags while others just laid right inside the cardboard box to get a true sense of what it is like to be homeless. About 33 boys and girls in grades seven through twelve braved the night, despite the stormy forecast, to attend the second annual Cardboard City outside the grounds of the St. Therese Church in Succasunna. The program was held Fri., Aug. 12, starting at 7 p.m. and lasting through the morning on Sat., Aug. 13, with most participants getting picked up around 8:45 a.m. The church youth group came up with the idea last year to raise awareness of homelessness in Morris County and the country. “These group of kids work and are involved in sports and always come out to plan these events,” says Anne Colucci of Sucassunna, parishioner and a parent volunteer involved in Cardboard City. One girl, who served as the Cardboard City mayor, was getting ready to go to college but still made the time to be involved.

Deacon Bruce Olsen, youth minister at the church, supervised this year’s event. Participants paid a registration fee and then participated in a fundraiser at Fuddruckers in Succasunna that brought in $560, says Colucci. The final amount of monies raised was unknown as of press time. Last year, the Cardboard City raised $1,300 with proceeds going to Homeless Solutions in Morristown, says Colucci. This year, proceeds were used to purchase Survival Kits. Each kit contained a backpack filled with essentials such as underwear, t-shirt, toothbrush, soap, towel, hat, flashlight, candle, matches, can opener and baked beans. Survival Kits were then given to Roxbury Social Services for distribution to those in need. The rest of the proceeds was to go to Bridge Run in Summit, an organization that serves soup and sandwiches to the those in need on the streets in Irvington and New York City, adds Colucci. While most of the tenants of this year’s cardboard city were from Roxbury, a hand-

ful did come from Chester, says Colucci. Five kids from Chester, who had to complete community service, found out about

the cardboard city and decided to participate. continued on next page

Awareness About Homelessness...

continued from previous page Several officials such as the fire chief, a councilman and Assemblyman Anthony Bucco stopped in, along with a representative from Roxbury Social Services to accept the Survival Kits’ donation, says Colucci. Bryan’s Luncheonette in Succasunna donated sandwiches, juice boxes and fruit for each participant. “Trish, the owner of Bryan’s, made the sandwiches and she put it in a clean garbage can,” describes Colucci. Parishioner Joe Powell donated 50 boxes, she adds. The students put together 40 of the boxes and made a village. Some used sleep-

T

ing bags inside the boxes, while “some kids were just roughing it.” A prayer service for homeless people was held and the participants watched a movie about homeless people. “Everything we did was geared toward homeless people,” said Colucci, even braving a stormy night by sleeping outside. “The weather wasn’t that great; at 6 o’clock we had a really bad storm,” says Colucci. “We were going to sleep in a shelter in the gym.” By 6 a.m. the city was taken down and at 7 a.m. a mass was held with Father Marc Mancini. Women from the Cornerstone served bagels, juice and coffee to the group.

Lung Cancer Walk Set For Oct.

he seventh annual Northern NJ Free to Breathe 5K Lung Cancer Walk is set to take place on Sun., Oct. 2, 9 a.m. to noon, at Horseshoe Lake Park in Succasunna, to raise awareness and funds to assist the fight against lung cancer. The disease kills more American men and women than any other cancer, yet remains one of the least funded.

Organized by Free to Breathe, proceeds from the event will benefit lung cancer research, education and awareness programs. Free to Breathe seeks to make surviving lung cancer the expectation, not the exception. Its mission: double the fiveyear survival rate, currently 16 percent, by 2022. Cost to walk is $15-$30.
