West Orange Native Strikes It Big, Signed With Diamondbacks
By Jason Cohen lex Gouin thought he would follow in his parents’ footsteps and become a doctor, but in July, his dream came true as he signed with the Arizona Diamondbacks. “I never imagined playing baseball professionally,” Gouin explained. “If I was in Cuba, I wouldn’t get the opportunity to play baseball past 15.” Gouin, 24, a native of West Orange, who grew up in Cuba, credits his grandfather, Handle Roberts with instilling in him the passion for baseball. The two of them spent countless
days practicing and his grandpa knew Gouin had something special. “When someone teaches you something for the first time it sticks with you,” he said. However, Gouin noted baseball in Cuba is very different. There is no Little League and kids often use boxes or cartons as gloves. In 1997, Roberts moved to the U.S. and Gouin and his family followed four years later. His love for baseball continued here. Not only was it tough adjusting to America and learning English, but finding a coach that wanted

him was a challenge, he explained. Eventually, he joined a team and thrived. “Things just felt natural for me,” he remarked. “Things just fall in place when I’m on the baseball field.” According to Gouin, he often relied on his talent to succeed. Things changed when his West Orange High School baseball coach Stephen Zichella told him he needed to work harder because he had a future in baseball. In his senior year in 2010, Gouin had a 1.02 earned run average, holding opposing batters to a .156 batting average while striking out 69. He also hit .484 with five home runs. He attended the University of Hartford where Coach Justin Blood opened his eyes to baseball. In addition to mechanics and fundamentals, he “taught him how to love the game.” The team was not very good his freshman year and he and Blood would often argue. “In my mind, the hard work I was doing was enough,” he said. “He kind of taught me there was always going to be someone working harder than you.” As a senior, he earned a school record with nine saves in a single season, was named to the America East All-Conference Sec-
ond Team (posting an earned run average of 2.74, allowing seven runs, all earned, on 21 hits over 23 innings) and striking out 15 batters. He graduated in 2014, but a foot injury kept him out of the Major League Baseball Draft. This was a tough break, but he stayed focused and in 2015, was signed by an independent minor league team, the Rockland Boulders, in Rockland, N.Y. For about a
year a scout from the Arizona Diamondbacks followed him and finally in July, the call came from the big leagues. Gouin expressed gratitude to God and his parents Alex and Rebecca for helping him achieve his dream. He is playing for the Missoula Osprey, a Single A rookie ball team in Missoula, Montana and adjusting to life. He found an apartment with a few teammates and
even bought a bike to save money. As he gets used to his new surroundings, his goal is to keep working hard and make it to Arizona. So far he has an earned run average of 3.90 and a record of 1-3. He gave advice to anyone aspiring to play baseball. “Follow your dreams,” he said. “There are many setbacks you will have, but those setbacks are essential.”

By Anastasia Marchese ichael Mault of West Orange is getting ready to take the journey of a lifetime. On Sept. 27 he plans to depart on a sea voyage that will last 46 days, 36 of which will be in open sea, out of sight of land. He will be sailing on a 170 ft. traditional square rigged sailing vessel that is 105 years old named the Bark Europa. According to the website, “At this moment the homeport of the ship is Scheveningen, The Hague, The Netherlands. The ship can house 48 trainees and 16 crew. The Europais, an official Sail Training Vessel. Being such a ship you will be mustered as a trainee and joining in the activities on deck and getting instructions from the crew
is a real part of the experience on board. This way not only holiday seekers populate the ship but also students of the Maritime schools join the ship.” Mault has always wanted to do something adventurous, and since he retired five years ago after serving on the Maplewood Police Department for 30 years, he has been mulling it over. Reflecting on how he finally made the decision he recalled “My wife said, if you want to do this, do it now.” He decided to enlist on this journey on the Bark Europa as a temporary crew member. He will literally learn “the ropes” as the website explains, “One hour on board the Bark Europa and it will instantly be clear: “teamwork” has to be the key to this beautiful traditional sailing vessel. No winches,
open book.” Each temporary crew member is teamed up with a full time crew member to learn how to sail the Blok Europa and learn traditional navigation. They work in four hour shifts with four hours on duty and eight continued on next page

continued from previous page hours off. This is not a job for those afraid of heights, as each temporary crew member must learn to climb the masts and hoist the sails. As excited as Mault was for this opportunity, he didn’t want to do it just for himself. He wanted it to mean something more.

brother succumbed to the same disease at the age of only 53. This was not the last time that the Mault family would be struck with this horrible disease. In 2013, Angelo Vayas, a close family friend also had his life taken by GBM. “It is supposedly a rare cancer,” reflected Mault. Both Mault's father and brother were Marine veterans and avid sailors. Mault is also a former marine and is hoping his Marine training and instincts will kick in as he meets this new challenge. He chose a sailing expedition in part, to honor the lives of his father and brother but decided that he wanted his journey to do some good for those suffering from the terrible disease. He started a YOUCARING page to help raise money for the American Brain Tumor Association. His page describes his purpose this way. “[I will be] crossing the Atlantic and Equator from the Canary Islands to Uruguay, sailing the trade winds. I am dedicating this voyage to my mother, brother and friend in an effort to raise awareness and funds to find a cure for this terrible dis-

I will be traveling 5,000 nautical miles over 44 days at sea and hoping that each mile I sail brings us closer to a cure. No donation is too small and every little bit will make a difference.” He said, “It has kinda taken on a life of it’s own,” about the fundraising. Mault never expected such an outpouring of interest, with almost $18,000 having been raised on the YOUCARING page alone. Mault’s son and his friend designed t-shirts and all 75 were sold in three days. There has also been Pub nights organized to raise funds for the ABTA as well. The first Pub night took place on Aug. 5 at the Oak Barrel Pub and more than $350 was raised in the 50/50 alone. A portion of the pub sales from that night were also donated directly to the ABTA. Another Pub night is scheduled for Sept. 8 at the St. James Gate in Maplewood. For more information or to donate go to www.youcaring.com and search for Sailing for a Solution.

Legendary Birthplace Of American Cinema Features Workshop For Future Cinematic Artists
by Michele Guttenberger n Sun., July 17, the Thomas Edison National Historical Park in West Orange partnered with MONO NO AWARE, a nonprofit cinematic arts creative group to offer a one day film workshop at the exact site and replica of the legendary Black Maria studio. The program was promoted as a school age workshop. Participants were given special reservations to shoot film inside the Black Maria using the film format that was originally used more than 100 years ago. Family participants came as far as Brooklyn New York to learn about old film production methods and starred in their own skit complete with props and attire accessories. The skits were shot using 16mm film. This is a format Edison’s movie cameras used to capture short sequences as black and white images on reversal film stock. MONO NO AWARE staff was the camera crew and film processors. At 4 p.m. all workshop movie participants got to see

their film projected on the movie screen at the visitor’s film viewing area and also received a digital video copy of their work. This was the third year of this popular July summer film workshop. The park staff looks forward to repeating this family program again next July with MONO NO AWARE. Plan ahead for it in next year’s summer calendar: note Sunday mid-July 2017 as a summer cinematic workshop date. Be aware this workshop has limited enrollment slots and fills up quickly. Edison and his staff produced hundreds of filmstrips from their Black Maria studio, with many genres and titles ranging from the romantic Kiss to a Cockfight and sports Wrestling, that were made to be viewed in Kinetoscope parlors across the country in the 1880’s. The first movie theater projection was in 1896. The Edison Company showed a collection of moving images as a minor act in a vaudeville show at Koster and Bial’s Music Hall in New York City. This event inaugurated the era of commer-
cial movies which has now lasted into the 21st Century. During the month of August come see these same landmark films. Edison studio produced films will be shown every Friday at 2:30 p.m. in historical building 11 which
is free with an entrance admission. For more special family programs at Thomas Edison National Historical Park in West Orange go to www.nps.gov/edis or contact visitor information at 973-736-0550 x11.

Learn Hands-On-History At Waterloo Village On Saturdays
he Canal Society of New Jersey, in concert with the New Jersey DEP, is continuing its Waterloo Canal Heritage Days series on Saturdays offering Morris County visitors to nearby Waterloo Village in Sussex County a glimpse of the region’s early days – as part of an every other Saturdays series this summer and early fall. The programs, which are altered a bit on each of the Heritage Days Saturdays, include hands-on history programs, a taste of original music, plus a narrated boat ride on the historic Morris Canal. Once a bustling inland port on the Morris Canal, Waterloo retains its character as a 19th Century canal Waterloo Village town. Since 2007, the Canal Society has gradually opened industrial and commercial buildings to interpret trades that were common throughout the 19 th Century. Waterloo Village is managed by the New Jersey Division of Parks and Forestry within the state Department of Environmental Protection and is located in Alla-
muchy Mountain State Park. DEP’s Division of Parks and Forestry assumed stewardship of the Village in 2007 after the Waterloo ArtsFoundation, which had leased the Village from the state for about 40 years, went bankrupt. DEP has committed more than $600,000 to the Village’s restoration as part of its Sustainable Park Plan, an initiative designed to keep historic sites and state parks open by expanding programming and events to attract more residents and revenue. DEP has worked with The Canal Society of New Jersey, Friends of Waterloo, and Winakung at Waterloo to support the Village and its programming. Waterloo Village Heritage Days run from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. They are scheduled for Sat. Aug. 27, Sept. 17, Sept. 24, Oct. 8, and Oct. 22. Waterloo Village is located in Stanhope. For more information on Waterloo Village, visit http://www.getoutsidenj.com/listings/Waterloo-Village.Stanhope.

Did You Know?
espite the ongoing efforts to study cancer and cancer treatments, in many ways the disease remains a mystery to researchers and medical professionals alike. According to data published by the research-based healthcare company Roche, for reasons that are not entirely un-
derstood, breast cancer is more common in the left breast than the right. The left breast is 5 to10 percent more likely to develop cancer than the right breast. The left side of the body is also 10 percent more vulnerable to the skin cancer melanoma than the right side of the body.

he opening of Family Healing Center in Livingston is the culmination of a dream of its three principals. They recognized that solo practices, which can make a difference for clients, are often constrained by limited therapeutic resources. Rather, by establishing the Family Healing Center, each sought to help clients, as the mission statement says: to “find answers, relief, and ways to cope with the challenges of life.” These are accomplished through compassionate individual therapy, supportive group counseling and mental health education. Bill Powell, with more than 50 years’ experience as a licensed clinical therapist, has a wealth of experience working with marriage and committed couples,

helping them to resolve conflict, rebuild trust and intimacy and to improve communication habits. He has always wanted to open a center where he could see families’ lives transformed. John Berkowitz has been a licensed clinical therapist for more than 20 years and in private practice for 15 years. He brings a wide range of experience and therapeutic approaches to his clients, including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Gestalt Psychology (GP) and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT). With his extensive training and his warm and compassionate approach, Berkowitz says he can help families and individuals find new ways to manage their lives and partnering with them to live brighter tomorrows. Chief Executive Officer Malik
Carey, the third principal, merged his business experience and his earnest passion for wellness to help create a center for families where they could come to find a safe haven. The Family Healing Center is warm and inviting. From the moment one walks in the door, he or she will feel welcomed. The Family Healing Center offers individual and group therapy for children, adolescents, and adults. Family counseling is available for married and committed partners, parenting, conflict resolution and divorce mediation. If there are marriage or family issues, eating disorders, addictions to sex, pornography, gambling or the internet, trauma, PTSD, alcohol or substance abuse or grief/loss, the staff at Family Healing Center has the
