Holocaust History Becomes Real at West Morris Central

By Megan Roche West Morris Central High School teacher is tying history and her students together, all thanks to technology. Kathy Kulfan, a teacher for 21 years, recently connected her students through reading and skype to a woman whose family survived the Holocaust. Kulfan met Ella Burakowski through an online forum in 2005. The two

connected and became friends. As Kulfan followed the journey of the book, from pre-production to post production, she felt inspired to share the story with her students. Burakowski’s book Hidden Gold was released in 2015. Kulfan’s freshman and sophomore English class read the book and connected with themes and ideas throughout the book. Kulfan noted that her

students connected with the book unlike anything she’d ever seen before. “My students really connected to Ella’s book. They really went on this journey with this family through this book. They were asking so many intriguing questions about the family and what they went through. The kids couldn’t wait to come to class every day and read this book.” Kulfan said. In Hidden Gold, Burakowski shares the story of her family who lived through the Holocaust. According to the publisher, the Gold family find their peaceful idyllic lives shattered when Nazi Germany invades Poland, setting in motion the events that would come to be known as the Holocaust. It’s 1942, and the Nazis are rounding up the Jews in the small town of Pińczów for transport to the Treblinka death camp. Leib and Hanna Gold feared this day would come, but thought they had more time to develop an escape plan for their family. When Leib leaves to negotiate a hiding place with local farmers, Hanna and their children, Shoshana, Esther, and twelve-year-old David, steal away in the night to find shelter with a family friend. Leib promises to join them in dawn, but when daylight comes, Leib has vanished.

Hanna must flee to a safer refuge or she and her children will perish. The Gold family were in hiding for 26 months before they were liberated. As the students read the book, Kulfan encouraged them to create questions for Burakowski. She noticed how in depth some of the questions went and knew that this book truly captured their attention. “It was hard for them to break out of the reading and do the activities that went along with the reading. I had kids coming to me at lunch that wanted to discuss the book, the kids really came out and had thought provoking questions that were really impressive.” Kulfan said. All of Kulfan’s students were able to communicate with Burakowski through-

out their reading of the book. In email exchanges with Burakowski, Isabelle, a student in Kulfan’s class, was quick to let Burakowski know what the book meant to her. “I loved your fantastic book. It is now one of my favorite books. It’s so fascinating to find out what someone actually went through, which gives me a better understanding of what Jewish families went through during the Holocaust.” Isabelle said. Faith, another student in Kulfan’s class, found that the book really resonated with her. She connected with the theme of hatred that the Jews suffered from and what it must have felt like to be a Jew in Nazi Germany. “This book painted a clear picture of how mil-

lions of people suffered through that time period. It helped me realize how terrible it was for the people involved in the Holocaust.” Faith expressed. Through Burakowski’s story, even Ella was able to learn more about herself. According to Burakowski, she is an auditory learner. As an auditory learner, she found reading to be a chore. With reading being a chore, how does one even think about writing a book? “I didn’t know if I liked the book until I heard it read back to me. I’m a very slow reader, so reading books is a chore for me. Thank goodness that books are available in audio format, because I love listening to them.” Burakowski wrote. One of Kulfan’s students, continued on page 2

Holocaust History...

continued from front page Louis, was interested in the physical writing of the book. Of interest, Louis, a sophomore, asked the age old question, “How did your family feel about the book?” “My family is very proud of me for having written our family’s story. But more importantly, you are reading it and keeping their memory alive. It makes their suffering have meaning, because if you learn anything about hate, love, perseverance and the human spirit, then writing Hidden Gold and the history of the Holocaust will live on through people like you, who will speak up and never allow atrocities like this to happen again.” After finding some interesting biographical information on Burakowski’s family in a video on Facebook, the two connected on setting up a date to skype with the author, putting the plans in motion for her students to meet and speak with a real life author. Matt, a student in Kulfan’s class, has a very big passion for the subject of history. For him, the pleasure of being able to speak to the author and learn about World War II history really tied things together. “Through reading Hidden Gold, I am able to learn more about the Holocaust and excited to talk to Ella, the actual author.” Matt said. For some students, they were able to tie the lessons from Hidden Gold to their personal lives. Liv, a freshman, was really interested in the details about the war because of her grandfather who served in the military during World

War II. “I feel really special that I am able to gain information about the book from the actual author. I was really intrigued with the details about the war because my grandfather on my dad’s side was in World War II. It has changed me personally by my thoughts on the Holocaust.” Liv said. On June 6, students in Kulfan’s class were able to meet and speak with Burakowski after the two arranged a skype session. Burakowski lives in Ontario, Canada and was delighted to help Kulfan link her students learning to a real-life story. “I just wanted to help keep the Holocaust alive, that’s all. I want to do my part to keep the Holocaust alive. There’s hardly anyone left and those who are still alive are in their 90s. I wanted to write this book for a younger audience, and it keeps kids interested in the real story of the Holocaust.” Burakowski said. Plans are also underway for the students to meet Burakowski personally when she travels to the Museum of Jewish Heritage in New York City in the fall. Kulfan feels that this story has truly impacted her students. “My kids really got a personal view of this family from someone who was involved. These kids were so invested in the story and all the life lessons that it taught them. They had these little pieces of information from the personal connection that took this to a completely different level.” Kulfan said.

Warning...There is a Silent Killer Among Us

es, you read correctly, there is a silent killer among us almost everyday. It can be with you the very moment your alarm sounds in the morning and can follow you into your car while you’re driving. It can stay with you at your desk while working or even when picking your kids up from school. It can follow you around all day long and can even get into your bed with you at night. If you haven’t already guessed, the silent killer is stress. In fact, stress alone is linked to the six leading causes of death (Heart Disease, Cancer, Lung Disease, Accidents, Cirrhosis of the Liver and Suicide). Not only does stress affect your mood, but it actually causes physiological changes in the body. What does that actually mean? Let’s break it down and simplify this complex cascade of events: When confronted with a stressful situation, our bodies react involuntarily. The nervous system responds by releasing different stress hormones like Cortisol and Adrenaline, engaging the body’s “fight or flight” response. In ancient times, this was an advantage for survival when stresses included fleeing from wild animals that could eat you. So, this response was necessary for survival and could actually save your life. The “fight or flight” response causes your heart to beat faster, your blood pressure to rise, increases the rate of respiration and enhances

your senses. Unfortunately, this response still kicks in from stress that we experience everyday that may not be life threatening. Things like traffic, an angry boss or a family fight is much different than getting chased by a hungry bear, but our bodies involuntarily respond in the same way. Constant, repeated stress is detrimental to the body and can result in disease and even death. From an Acupuncture and Chinese medical perspective, stress causes an imbalance of energy in the body. In a healthy person, energy flows smoothly throughout the body. Healthy people experience different emotions everyday, which is a normal part of life. No one can escape being stressed, worried, angry or sad at certain times, but it is when these emotions are too intense or when they are prolonged over a long period of time that they disrupt the balance of energy within the body and become the cause of disease. This is especially true if the emotions are not expressed and are kept inside for a long period of time (a big no no!). Signs & symptoms of an overactive response to stress include: Anger, Anxiety, Asthma, Nausea, Depression, Depressed immune system, Digestive disorders, Headaches, Heart disease, High blood pressure, Insomnia, Joint pain, Palpitations, Panic Attacks, Shortness of breath and Weight prob-

lems. If you are someone who experiences any of the symptoms above or is simply just stressed out...there is hope! Acupuncture has been helping people to cope with stress for thousands of years. It can help to balance the mental and physical symptoms of stress, anxiety and depression. In addition, Acupuncture and Chinese medicine aims at treating the root cause of the issue. Best of all, it is a safe, effective and drug-free treatment! Here are some ways to help combat stress on a daily basis: 1.) Manage your stress with Acupuncture! Acupuncture helps to reduce stress hormones like Cortisol, relax muscle tension and helps restore the body’s balance so that your body calms down and even responds better to stress in the future. 2.) Get enough sleep! Try to get at least 8 hours of restful sleep. Our bodies handle stress much better when we are well rested. 3.) Start your day with meditation. You don’t have to be an expert yogi to meditate... but try a simple breathing exercise. Inhale slowly for 10 seconds, pause, then exhale slowly for 10 seconds. Repeat for 5-10 minutes each day. You can also play calming music to enhance relaxation during your meditation. Meditation calms the nerves, reduces

the release of stress hormones in your body and prevents adrenal exhaustion. 4.) Drink your stress away....with Green Tea this is! Green tea reduces cortisol, the hormone that your body releases in response to stress. 5.) Boost your mood with Diet & Exercise! Increasing your intake of leafy green veggies helps your body to stay healthy and deal with stress better. Daily exercise also helps to reduce cortisol levels and increases the levels of the “happy” chemicals in the brain. 6.) Beat Stress With Positive Thinking! Your conscious mind can help to control the way that your body responds to stressful situations. Instead of getting down on yourself, repeat affirmations like “I am fully capable of handling the obstacles that cross my path and nothing can stand in my way”. Repeating positive affirmations also reduces the levels of cortisol that are released from the adrenal glands. 7.) Write Your Stress Away. Writing in a journal can help you get out pent up emotions- relieving any built up tension. 8.) Have Fun! Do something you enjoy or watch a funny movie. Laughing releases the “feel good” chemicals in the brain. For more information on stress reduction and Acupuncture, call Mount Olive Acupuncture & Wellness 973.527.7978.

Morristown Grad Awarded Arthur Ashe Jr. Leadership Award

By Kimberly Redmond member of the men’s tennis team at Drew University was among the 60 college students this year to earn the Intercollegiate Tennis Association/ Arthur Ashe Jr. Leadership & Sportsmanship Award. Junior Karel Raska was also the only student selected from his conference or from a New Jersey college to receive a Division III Atlantic-South Region Award. The award has been given to student-athletes since 1982, when Ashe created the recognition as a way to honor individuals who have shown great achievements. It takes into account a player’s tennis accomplishments, scholastic successes and extracurricular activities in order to recognize players who excel on and off the court – as Ashe did. During his tennis career, Ashe won three Grand Slam singles titles, became the only black male tennis player to win Wimbledon and the U.S. Open. When he wasn’t playing, Ashe became well known for his community and social activism. Until his tragic passing in 1993, the ten-

nis legend personally handed out the Leadership & Sportsmanship awards each year. The award recognizes student athletes in all divisions, at both the regional and national level, according to the Intercollegiate Tennis Association. Raska, a Morristown High School graduate, served as team captain of the Drew Rangers this past season and has been “a solid contributor” since joining the team as a freshman two years ago, according to information provided by Drew University. During the spring 2019 season, one of Raska’s most memorable moments occurred when he clinched Drew University’s 5-4 Landmark Conference victory at the University of Scranton with his win at No. 5 singles. It gave the Rangers their first victory over the Royals in over seven years, according to Drew. Away from the tennis court, Raska is a business major and an international relations/photography minor at the college in Madison, where he “has been heavily involved in numerous campus activities,” the school said. “A French horn player and Jill Spurr Titus

Instrumental Music Honors Scholar, Raska is a member of the Drew University Orchestra and the Drew Brass Ensemble,” according to the school. Raska is also the vice president of Drew University’s German Club, acts as a campus tour guide and volunteers at a local nursing home, where he brings his blind therapy dog to work with residents, according to the school. This past school year, Raska also received several academic accolades, including a second place art award at Drew University’s annual College of Liberal Arts Awards. He was also one of 41 student athletes who made the Academic Honor Roll of the Landmark Conference, a recognition given to those who achieve a cumulative grade point average of at least 3.2 while in season. Raska was also one of eight college players to earn a spot on the Landmark Conference’s All-Sportsmanship Team for the spring 2019 season, which showcases student athletes who embrace fair play, graciousness in victory and respectfulness in defeat.

Go with the Dough: High School Student in Mendham Owns a Cookie Dough Company

Ines Robertson-Lavalle

By Elise Phillips Margulis nes Robertson-Lavalle, a sophomore at Villa Walsh Academy, used to cringe when she saw people eating cookie dough because she feared they’d contract salmonella poisoning from the raw eggs in the batter. She decided it was time for someone to

step up and make irresistible edible cookie dough which didn’t have the threat of making people ill. After much research and work, Go with the Dough was born. She explained her inspiration for the product, “I am a germaphobe, so seeing friends and family eating the raw cookie dough when preparing cookies really worried me. At the age of thirteen, I decided to find a solution where people could eat the cookie dough without the health risks, so Go with the Dough started in May of 2017. The company began selling in stores this past fall.” Robertson-Lavalle credits her baking expertise to growing up in an Argentine family. She, her mom and her sister spent a lot of time in the kitchen baking things that ranged from classic brownies to authentic Argentine desserts. She describes her safe recipe for raw consumption. “The cookie dough contains no egg, which takes away any possibility of salmonella. It has tempered flour, which avoids the chance of any harmful bacteria. Also, there’s no water, which when combined with the flour could cause a stomach ache.”

Go with the Dough premiered with three flavors of edible cookie dough. Chocolate chip and sugar cookie are available in most locations, but the triple chocolate is an Instagram exclusive. Robertson-Lavalle revealed that two customer-requested flavors, Cookies and Cream and Peanut Butter Cookie Dough, are in the works. Her family serves as her taste testers and they are dieting and not fond of peanut butter so the flavors may not roll out immediately. Robertson-Lavalle is a three-season sports player and is devoted to academics so she schedules visits to the commercial kitchen every two weeks to make the cookie dough. Her mom drives her over and helps her make the dough. She said she’s learned not to bring too much home because her siblings and mom will eat it all in a day (who can blame them?!). Robertson-Lavalle inherited her parents’ entrepreneurial spirit. Her mom owned a company selling high-end Argentine tableware with her sisters for many years and her dad has a consulting company. Her parents help a lot with the company, which is legally under her dad’s name because she’s a minor.

She remembers that, “It took such a long time to finally be in local stores because there were many legal requirements. For example, I had to get several permits, find a certified kitchen to make the cookie dough in, and get the cookie dough tested in a laboratory. All these requirements took about half a year.” At the time that this article was written, Burrini’s in Randolph and Sweet Spot Bake Shoppe in Chester were selling Go with the Dough. Robertson-Lavalle is always looking for new retail outlets and hopes to sign up with additional stores soon. Go with the Dough is also available through Instagram by following @go_with_ the_dough, where Robertson-Lavalle often offers specials. Robertson-Lavalle says that two benefits from being a teen business owner include honing her time management skills and learning how to prepare her own tax returns. She hopes that Go with the Dough will continue to grow and maybe even become a food chain across the country. Robertson-Lavalle has certainly had an early start. Her delicious dream may well come true.

Family Business Celebrates 50 Years Spanning 3 Generations

resident Nixon was inaugurated, man took his first steps on the moon and the Art of Dance was founded. The year was 1969 and it would be remembered for many firsts. Chester resident, Florence Lambros, enjoyed a lustrous career as a professional dancer in New York City. The mother of four had a vision to bring quality dance training to, what was at the time, a ru-ral community. In a rented space inside Randolph VFW Hall, the studio began with 79 students of-fering ballet, jazz and tap classes 2 days per week. Without the benefit of a dedicated phone line, Ms. Florence relied on her student’s referrals and two days quickly turned into four. For 18 years mirrors would be put up and taken down each day. In 1983 the Art of Dance moved to Chester. For two years the classes in Randolph continued and in 1985 the studio consolidated operations in the Chester Springs ShopRite shopping center. Occupy-ing their own studio permitted Art of Dance to sell leotards to students and create what is now the Essential Dance Shop. Beginning with just a few items the store was successful and even offered a full line of girls party dresses. Enrollment increased, more classes were added and teachers were hired. Chester Karate Academy rented space from Art of Dance. This partnership between the two produced its largest success when Ms. Florence’s daughter, Valerie met her husband Chuck Harman who was a student at Chester Karate Academy. The dance competition company was born and Ms. Florence’s daughter Valerie Harman formed the Company at the studio. The first season there were 4 members and

at it’s peak boasted 60+ danc-ers. Ms. Valerie became the Company Director and her dancers are recognized as some of the best in the country. Over the years they have performed on countless professional stages throughout New York City and even crossed the pond to perform at Sadler Wells in London. After 12 years in the shopping center Ms. Florence received the news the lease would not be re-newed to make room for the new gym Xercise. It was just weeks before the fall classes started and for 2 years the studio operated from the old Williamson building on Main Street. When the building was closed for renovation the Art of Dance moved to a new building located on Seminary Ave. in Chester, most recently occupied by Peak Performance. The additional space al-lowed for a small retail boutique and three fully equipped studios. In 2007 the Art of Dance had outgrown their space and relocated just across the street to a newly designed 8,000 square feet state of the art facility, which they occupy to this day. The small retail boutique transformed into the Essential Dance Shop stocked with the most notable brands and everything “essential” a dancer needs. The studio offers over 120+ classes during the season in all styles of dance. From the youngest dancers in the Mommy & Me class, BOYS only and Irish classes to the many adult offerings. Students are two to seventy two years old. In addition to classes the summer schedule is packed with week-ly camps for every age, style and level. Year round there are fitness classes in yoga, Zumba and Barre. In 2013 Chester Karate Academy moved back into sharing studio

space with the Art of Dance and has been owned by Chuck Harman since 2017. Speaking of keeping the business in the family, Ms. Valerie’s daughter, Linsey O’Neal, a successful commercial dancer in New York and Los Angeles, teaches at the studio regularly. In a town where we see too many small businesses closing or struggling to survive, what is the key to Art of Dance’s longevity? FAMILY! The proprietors, employees and EVERYONE who enter the studio become part of the AOD family. The space has a welcoming atmosphere with free WiFi and a comfortable room for the stu-dents to do homework, a parent who wants to catch up on emails or to share some snacks with your dance friends. There are viewing windows so parents can watch their children in class. QUALITY! The studio is proud to have the most prestigious dance educators in the industry. Many of the staff are working professionals who travel from New York City every day to teach the stu-dents. When you ask them about their willingness to commute to small Chester, NJ they consist-ently cite the same reason “I LOVE the dancers!” COMMUNITY! Philanthropy is one of the core values the studio emphasizes to its students. During the holiday season dancers entertain residents at local nursing homes. They can also be seen every year Irish dancing at the Publick House on St. Patrick’s day, dancing at the 4H fair each summer and dancing for the 50+ club. FUN! Many Art of Dance students and alumni have had a successful career. They have graced the stages of Broadway, continued on page 9

Each year, thousands of New Jersey children attend their first day of school without basic educational tools such as backpacks, notebooks, and calculators, leaving these under-resourced students at a disadvantaged as they struggle to succeed academically. It can be extremely difficult for families to purchase new supplies year after year. With a goal to eliminate that struggle for families and students across New Jersey, Jersey Cares works to ensure that no child starts the school year off without the necessary supplies - bridging the gap between disadvantage and academic success. Volunteers are needed to help Jersey Cares reach their goal of donating 5,000 packed backpacks to schools, shelters, and community organizations across the state. Donating is easy and

can even be done from the comfort of your home through their Amazon Wish List or online with YouGiveGoods. The Jersey Cares School Supply Drive runs until August 21st. All donation can be delivered or shipped to their office in Livingston. If your office, club, or group of friends would like to host a collection drive, please visit the Jersey Cares website at www.jerseycares.org/School_Supply_Drive for more information. Jersey Cares, a nonprofit organization, established in 1993, recruits and engages volunteers in rewarding, effective efforts that address community-identified needs. They partner with local nonprofits to identify needs and implement volunteer projects to meet these needs providing individuals, families, corporate employees and community groups with a wide variety of rewarding volunteer opportunities.

Morristown College Student Travels to India to Study Earthquake Preparedness

By Elise Phillips Margulis orristown High School graduate and Aerospace Engineer major, Jake Tappen, will be entering his senior year at Worcester Polytechnic Institute (WPI) in Massachusetts in the fall. He visited India this summer to study preventative protection from earthquakes. Tappen’s love of the universe began when he was a youngster. He was always fascinated with space and flight and followed NASA’s discoveries as a child. Teppen enjoys problem solving and entered the astronautical engineering program at WPI because he knew he’d relish the challenges. Tappen credits his high school science and engineering class teachers, Mr. Danese and Mr. Rizzo, with his decision to pursue engineering. Mr. Rizzo taught his 3D Computed Aided Design and Honor Design Studio classes. Tappen explained that those were “classes in which we used programs such as AutoCad Inventor to do 3D print projects for real applications. I had Mr. Rizzo every year of high school, he was one of the greatest teachers I could have asked for. He taught me everything I know about engineering drawings and computer aided design, which I still use at WPI today.” Tappen said. “I took AP Physics my senior year with Mr. Danese. Mr. Danese helped me challenge myself on a daily basis and was a great reason why my love for phys-

ics sparked during senior year, which I continue to use every day in my Aerospace Program in classes such as Atmospheric and Space Environments and Aerodynamics. Overall my science and engineering course load was pretty heavy in high school, and it definitely prepared me for WPI.” WPI students are offered the opportunity to study in several different countries for an Interactive Qualifying Project and Tappen chose India because he knew it would be an experience unlike any he had ever had. “I had a few friends who had gone to India to study abroad the year before, and they told me about the life-changing experiences they had there, the friends they met, and the memories they made. I wanted to break out of my comfort zone and truly learn about the culture and lifestyle there.” Tappen’s praised his advisors, Dr. Ingrid K. Shockey and Dr. Gbetonmasse B. Somasse, who guided twenty-four WPI students through the two-month trip. He said that India was as fascinating as he had imagined it would be. He enjoyed bonding with the students on the trip who he hadn’t known prior to their visit to India. The WPI students also become close with their teammates from the Indian Institute of Technology, Chirag, Abhay and Prabhakar. Tappen said the people of India were very friendly. “I learned about their customs, beliefs, their respect continued on page 11

Student Travels to India... continued from page 10 for the elders and the way they greet each other. It was really interesting to get the chance to try different foods, which I pretty much had not tried before. I also learned a lot about the architecture there, for instance when we traveled to the Taj Mahal. The Taj Mahal is easily the most

beautiful thing I have ever seen.” He expressed surprise about the number of earthquakes India experiences annually. The students stayed in the town of Mandi in the foothills of the Himalayas, a very active earthquake zone. Tappen said he learned about “how the

Indian government prepares for these events, how their newer architecture is designed to reinforce them against earthquakes, and how the community responds to them.” Tappen’s group created a manual for emergency planning for the school to use in case of an earthquake. The

manual includes “safety zones and evacuation routes, as well as training for the staff and guards on campus.” While studying at WPI Tappen has managed to squeeze some extracurricular activities into his schedule despite rigorous academics. He was a member of the wrestling team in high school and the first two years of college. He then stopped wrestling to focus on studying and joined Zeta Psi Fraternity where he

serves as treasurer. Tappen was the Philanthropy chair for the fraternity and helped organize fundraisers for the Mustard Seed Foundation in Worcester which runs a soup kitchen and helps the town in other ways. They sponsored a Spikeball Tournament, a PB&J Day (the community of WPI donated over 300 sandwiches to the Mustard Seed) and other great events. “Being philanthropy chair was a fulfilling experience, and I see it as

a really great way to give back to the community of Worcester.” said Tappen. Tappen has been accepted into WPI’s BS/MS Aerospace program so he’ll be taking some graduate level classes during his senior year of undergraduate school and graduating with a MS after a year of post-graduate studies. His core study will be in Fluids and Propulsion. Tappen’s career objective is to work in the defense industry as a civilian engineer. He is spending his third summer interning for Naval Sea Systems Command (NAVSEA), which designs, constructs and supports the United States Navy’s fleet of ships. Tappen wants to work in the defense industry when he graduates because he “strongly believes in supporting and helping those that protect our country.”

Seeing Eye Unveils $7.6 Million Renovation

By Jason Cohen non-profit organization that provides specially bred and trained dogs to guide people who are blind recently unveiled a $7.6 million renovation. On June 13, The Seeing Eye held a dedication ceremony for the newly completed Robert H. Harris Canine Pavilion on its Washington Valley Campus in Morris Township. The state-of-the-art kennel upgrade took approximately 18 months to complete. The Golden Dome Foundation, a Middletown based 501(c)3 non-profit organization, donated $2 million in memory of its founder, Dr. Robert H. Harris. Harris is the late husband of the organization’s President, Mary Ellen Harris. The Harris’ created the foundation in 2015, to support charitable causes. Dogs at The Seeing Eye campus were previously housed in two separate buildings, one that had become outdated. The new structure combines the living quarters, and gives all dogs direct access to covered all-weather exercise areas. The facility was designed to be open and airy, allow for an abundance of natural light, state-of-the-art

ventilation and air exchange systems, heated floors, newly designed dog grooming and food prep areas and much more. When creating the new space, research was done that specifically was aimed at increasing stimulation and a sense of well-being, making the dogs feel more comfortable, and improving the success of the overall program. Peggy Gibbon, director of canine development at the Seeing Eye, feels the renovation will benefit the dogs and the staff. “The kennel is great,” Gibbon said. “We’re very excited to have this new facility. I think it’s going to be a great living quarters and a nice place for the staff to work.” She told the Morristown News that residents and elected officials praised the organization for the recent upgrade. “I think the community has been very positive about it and happy to see the new facilities,” Gibbon said. The Seeing Eye was founded in 1929 and allows blind people to experience enhanced mobility and independence and to retain their active lifestyles despite blindness. The Seeing Eye is a 501(c) 3 non-profit supported by contributions from individuals, cor-

porations and foundations, bequests, and other planned gifts. If you would like more information on The Seeing Eye, visit the

Morristown Home to New Jersey Roller Derby

by Elsie Walker t is the most inclusive community I’ve ever experienced. They welcome everybody,” said Luana Cook Scott of Morristown. Members of that community include Rhymes with Ditch, Mistress Grim, Smiley Cyrus, Herniated Disco, CaliforniKate, Karma KaBOOM, Holly Screwya, and Pastor Bedtime (Cook Scott). A nurse in medical device sales, an office manager, a freelance illustrator and designer, a Surgical/Neurosurgical Physician Assistant (PA), a full time mom, a Yoga Instructor & Massage Therapist, a high school teacher, and a pastor, these women have found their passion as part of the approximately 50 member (skaters and officials) New Jersey Roller Derby. Founded in 2011, New Jersey Roller Derby is an all- female, flat-track roller derby league comprised of skaters from all regions of New Jersey. Traveling within the tri-state area, home bouts are held at Inline Morristown on 30 Pine Street, Morristown. The next home bout is October 5th at 5 p.m. (There is also a junior division for co-ed skaters ages 8-17) “Sponsorship provides funding for rink time, clinics, league insurance, and other developmental opportunities for our adult and junior skaters,” explained Amanda Nixon, of Florham Park. [The New Jersey Roller Derby is a 501c3 nonprofit.] A registered nurse in medical device sales, she is one of the team’s medics and Head of Sponsorship. She is also a rookie on the team known as Rhymes with Ditch. Mistress Grim, aka Meredith Persson of Parsippany, gave some general information about how roller derby works.

“

Persson is an NSO (Non-Skating Official). NSOs keep score, keep track of timing, and run the penalty box. Persson explained that in roller derby, two teams compete on a round track. Each team is playing both offense and defense. The goal is to get a jammer (designated with a star on her helmet) through the opposing team’s defense (blockers). Each team has five players on the track at a time. Persson explained that playing time is called a “bout”, and is divided into two halves, each 30 minutes long. Each 30-minute half is divided into jams, which can last up to two minutes and during which teams can score. For each bout, there are seven referees and nine non-skating officials. When not Mistress Grim, Persson is an EMT and an office manager for a non-profit supporting volunteerism. For Herniated Disco, aka Krista Wark of Boonton, jamming is her favorite position. A Surgical/Neurosurgical Physician Assistant, she was inspired by her daughter playing on the junior team to try it herself. Casey Walker of Jersey City, a high school teacher, is a blocker known as Holly Screwya. She said she has had to take some seasons off over the years, but “the camaraderie is what always brings me back.” Other members have gotten involved for a variety of reasons. Karma KaBOOM aka Lisa Conforti of Cedar Grove, can play either blocker or a jammer. A yoga instructor and massage therapist, she found the derby at a time when she needed a type of release in her life. “After having a

baby in 2011, I was hit with Postpartum Depression and then Premenstrual Dysphoric Disorder (PMDD). [I] fought this with yoga and a low dose of medication for years,” said Conforti. Then, in 2017 she saw a post on Facebook for a two-week Rec League Roller Derby Boot Camp and decided to try it, “By the end of the Boot Camp I was obsessed,” she shared. Like Conforti, Doreen Mulryan of Lake Hopatcong (aka Smiley Cyrus) was looking for an outlet. A freelance illustrator and designer, she joined the derby in 2014. Mulryan was in a transitional period of her life and experiencing anxiety after a divorce. She’d played hockey and wanted to do something else with skating. Now, she is B team captain, player, and coach to the Junior Division. Kate Birnbaum of Clark, aka CaliforniKate summed up the feelings of many about this derby community. Originally from California, this full-time mom and her husband had to leave friends and family when his military assignment took him to the East Coast. She’d always been interested in roller derby and decided to watch a practice. Now she has been skating with them for 9 ½ years. “I have made unbelievable friendships that are now like family to us. I could not imagine, not being part of this sport”. The New Jersey Roller Derby is always open to new skaters, officials, and volunteers.

Six Ways To Help Prevent Bullying

utting an end to bullying is everyone’s responsibility. Whether at home, school or elsewhere, it’s important that we’re proactive. Here are five ways that kids and parents can do their part. 1. Don’t be a bystander. It’s true that it takes a lot of courage to stand out from the crowd and defend a victim of bullying. After all, the risk is that you’ll become the next target simply for speaking up. But reporting bullying and being there for someone who needs it are actions you’ll be proud of for the rest of your life. 2. Stop sibling bullying at home. You may think it’s harmless, but it’s not. Disdainful eye rolling, relentless teasing, humiliating taunts, hitting and verbal abuse directed at a sibling can cause depression and anxiety. Make sure your home is a safe place for everybody who lives there. 3. Enlist the help of adults. If you see a need for increased adult supervision at high-risk times and places at school or at home, ask for help from a trusted adult. 4. Get on board with an anti-bullying campaign at school. These campaigns show kids that bullying is not cool and won’t be tolerated any longer. Make an anti-bullying banner and use social me-

dia to advertise the fact that you stand up against verbal and physical violence. 5. Parents: get involved. If your child is a victim of bullying, you need to take the situation seriously. Schools, the police and child psychology experts vigorously object to the belief that bullying is a childhood rite of passage. If the problem doesn’t stop, talk to the school authorities, and then to the police if there are no further improvements. At home, be vigilant about sibling bullying, and make it stop. 6. Pay attention to cyberbullying. Those who use cell phones, internet or other devices for social media interaction open themselves up to the latest form of bullying. Parents, be aware and get involved. Teach your child proper usage of these devices and reinforce that sending any text, message or photo that is cruel, hateful or threatening is as harmful as face to face bullying. Learn about the internet and pay attention to what your child is doing online. All users should be taught cyberethics and the law to prevent cyberbullying. Don’t be a victim. Don’t be a cyberbully. Bullying is no longer seen as a normal rite of passage for children; it’s a preventable behaviour that we can eradicate through education, awareness and action.

Giving Homes a Face Lift:

Magnolia Home Remodeling Group Does it All

By, Dawn M Chiossi home is much more than a house. It is much more than four walls, a foundation, and rooms. Much more than just a place to eat and flop down for the night, homes are often an extension of the people who live in them. At their best, homes can be a place for family dinners, a place to bingewatch favorite shows, a hub for sociability, or just a comforting oasis away from the world. Homes are an investment, literally and figuratively. It is often said that people do not own their homes--their homes own them. Even though the saying is often uttered off the cuff, there is a nugget of truth in it. The best homes give off good vibes. Everyone strives to make their home be a place of comfort, a place that is both restful and pretty. They aim to make their home a place where they can enjoy their solitude as well as the company of others. It is a fact that, invariably with time, homes will deteriorate. As every homeowner knows, there will be wear and tear on them; they will need improvements, renovations, and refurbishments. In time, people may decide to do a home makeover, or even make improvements to sell it. In all of these instances, their homes will need a kind of face

lift. When this happens, people need to put their house and home into the hands of trusted professionals to rejuvenate it for whatever purpose they need. Magnolia Home Remodeling Group is just such a business. Founded in 1995, Magnolia Home Remodeling Group is a New Jersey Home Remodeling & Home Improvement Contractor. Located at 1640 Vauxhall Rd in Union Township, these hard workers seek to help their customers make their home its best. Whether customers would like their homes to go the nip and tuck route, or seek to have a showstopper of a home, Magnolia Homes strives to make them as pretty as a magnolia and several times as strong. Serving areas in Bergen, Essex, Hudson, Hunterdon, Middlesex, Morris, Passaic, Somerset, Sussex, Union, and Warren counties, Magnolia Home can do it all.

Magnolia Home Remodeling Group fervently believes in giving back to the community as well. The company was even featured on TV’s George to the Rescue on April 27th, when they lent more than a hand to Union County’s Munt Family. The family suffered a terrible tragedy on Thanksgiving in 2017 when husband and father, 46-year-old Alex Munt passed away suddenly from a heart attack. The community quickly rallied around the family doing all they could to help, and that included George to the Rescue and Magnolia Home Remodeling Group. They jumped right in to help the family with their home improvements by giving the house a total makeover.

Magnolia Home not only donated construction supplies and labor for the project, they were the lead contractor as well. “We are proud to be able to do this,” Fontana enthuses. “To take the worry and the risk out of a job for our clients. It is an honor.” Fontana mentions they have also worked on projects for the Make A Wish Foundation and in South Jersey helping a disabled child. They also work on a regular basis with police, firemen, and first responders to use their talents and skills to make their lives a little better. That’s what it’s all about for the owners of Magnolia Home. Perhaps nothing demonstrates this more than a memory Fontana shares. “There was a widow whose husband had just recently passed. Her house needed work, and her money was understandably tight. She had been suspi-

cious and hesitant to work with us at first because she’d had a bad experience with another contractor.” Undaunted, Magnolia Home Remodeling set out to help. “We worked with her,” Fontana explains. “Starting out, she had been very affected by her previous experience. We understood that, took everything into consideration, and went above and beyond to change it for her.” Check them out on Yelp, Angie’s List, Better Business Bureau, or their list of references. Taking pride in their family and business reputation, Magnolia Home Remodeling Group puts their heart in customer’s homes.

Long Valley Native Mike Burton Teaches Love of the Game and Giving Back

By Megan Roche or Michael Burton, his entire life has been marked by a 100 yard football field. The Long Valley native grew up playing for the Long Valley Raiders, the West Morris Central Wolfpack, Rutgers University Scarlet Knights, and now plays professional ball for the New Orleans Saints. Burton knows the importance of giving back to the town and programs that gave him the opportunity to achieve his dream of playing in the pros. As a youngster, Burton would attend camps with famous pro football players and once he hit that level himself, he felt it important to give back and do his part. During his time at West Morris Central, Burton was an inside linebacker. He helped lead West Morris to a state championship in 2010 and also served as captain during his senior year. According to Burton, those two memories stand out the most in his mind. “To be elected captain, that’s something that you are voted on by your peers. They trust you, they believe that you can be a leader, they want to put you at that position because they know you’ll do it right. To also go out on a high of winning the state championship during my senior year, it was a really incredible experience to share with

boys that I’d been playing football with since I was in Kindergarten.” Burton said. After his rookie season in the NFL, Burton began his own initiative with Mike’s Knights. Mike’s Knights is a day long football camp during the summer where youngsters of all ages can attend and practice drills and skills with the NFL pro. Burton was quick to note that the day is not just about football skills but also about skills for life. “I make it a priority every summer to come back and do Mike’s Knights football camp. I do school visits and it’s a great community and it’s very close knit. The outpour of support has been awesome and to give back to the kids, the whole process has been really great.” Burton said. In addition to the football skills at his camp, Burton makes sure that every camper knows the importance of the mental game. Before camp begins, Burton speaks to the kids on the importance of their off the field attitude. “The kids really need to understand the importance of school and listening to their parents. It doesn’t have to be football or sports, it’s anything in life. I think it’s important to echo that to the kids to build their self esteem and give them the power and tools to help them believe in them-

selves.” Burton said. Burton is currently in his fifth year playing in the NFL. Before playing for New Orleans, he played two seasons with the Detroit Lions and two seasons with the Chicago Bears. Burton frequently visits schools, including those in the Long Valley area. While at Rutgers University, Burton found a love for community service when he and his teammates would visit local children’s hospitals throughout the New Brunswick area. “My football journey started here. It’s important for me to come back and share my experiences with the kids. I always say that if they have a dream, they are able to accomplish it both on and off the field.” Burton said. All proceeds from Burton’s camp are donated to the Embrace Kids Foundation, a foundation that helps children and families that are dealing with the impact of childhood cancer. After getting involved with the foundation at Rutgers, Burton approached them about starting a camp where all pro-

ceeds were donated to them. “On top of having fun with the kids all day, it supports something much bigger. It’s just had such an impact on me, and it meant so much to me when I saw the smiles on the kids faces. I knew that if I ever had the platform or the opportunity to help in any way possible, I knew I wanted to do so.” Burton said. Overall, Burton has never forgotten his small town roots. His desire to give back remains strong and he knows he wouldn’t be where he is without family support. “When I go to these schools, it’s not just a football speech. It’s an echo of how this impacts all aspects of your life. I try to tell the kids that you can be what you want to be, you can do it. I’ve had such a ton of support through all my life from all my family, my friends, my teachers, my coaches, my principals, who allow me to come back into the schools and help shape the next generation.”

Garden State Fondo 2019 Will Remember Life of Founder Marty Epstein

By: Greg Ziegler s summer fades and the calendar turns to September, it’s time again for the Garden State Fondo (formerly the NJ Gran Fondo) held annually on the first Sunday after Labor Day since 2011. The Garden State Fondo is a one day bicycle ride that begins on the Green in Morristown and travels the most scenic and bucolic roads that North Jersey has to offer. This year the organizers expect over 2,500 participants, making it one of the largest Gran Fondos in the country, with riders from over 30 states as well as participants from other countries. The term “Gran Fondo” is loosely translated from Italian to mean “big ride” and this year’s event really lives up to the name. This year’s edition of the Garden State Fondo offers five different routes designed to accommodate riders of every level. There is a double metric century of 200 miles named the “Estremo”; the traditional “Gran” route of 107 miles; the “Medio” route of 75 miles, which was named one of the best rides in NJ by the editors of Bicycle Magazine; the “Piccolo” route of 42 miles; and the “Breve” route of 18 miles. The Garden State Fondo is designed to offer participants the opportunity to enjoy a day of cycling on some of the most scenic roads New Jersey has to offer. For those riders who enjoy a little competition while on the bike, all the routes, (aside from the Breve), offer timed climbs where

riders can challenge themselves and compete with other riders for designation as King or Queen of the Mountain, via a point system. Other than these timed sections riders are encouraged to simply ride and enjoy the scenery and support as there is no special award for finishing first. Each route provides support stations strategically located along the course. Along with the standard fare provided to cyclists, this year’s rest stops will offer wood-fired pizza, affogatos (a shot of espresso over a scoop of vanilla ice cream) cannoli’s, s’mores, and a number of other items not typically found at ride support stations. The Garden State Fondo was established by Marty Epstein (of Marty’s Reliable Cycle) whose vision was to showcase the amazing riding that is available in northern New Jersey by creating a fun and challenging cycling event and to also be able to give back to the community. Epstein passed away earlier this year. The Garden State Fondo has raised over $1.25 million dollars for both local and national charities. One of the beneficiaries of this year’s event will be the Raritan Headwaters Association, a non-profit conservation organization that protects water in our rivers, streams, and homes. The Garden State Fondo covers over 140 miles of roads through 25 different municipalities in Morris, Somerset, and Hunterdon counties. Routes will go through Morris-

town, Chester, Mendham, Bernardsville, Far Hills, Peapack, Gladstone, Pottersville, Tewksbury, Califon, Clinton, Pittstown, Milford, Spruce Run, Long Valley, Randolph, and Morris Plains. The organizers work diligently with local authorities to secure the permits necessary to ensure the safety of both the cyclists, and the citizens, of each town the ride passes through. New Jersey has a long and distinguished place in the history of cycling with races being held throughout the state in the late 1800s and continuing into the 1900s with the Tour de Somerville which held its inaugural race in 1940. The Garden State Fondo is a terrific addition to the history and legacy of New Jersey cycling. For riders registered for the event the Garden State Fondo is offering training rides on Sundays that leave from Marty’s Reliable in Morristown, and from Strictly Bicycles in Fort Lee. More information on registration and additional details about the event can be found on the Garden State Fondo website at www.granfondonj.com/. Bike rentals are available for those riders who have the inspiration but not the equipment. There is a ride and a route for everyone and no reason not to participate in this year’s edition of the Garden State Fondo. Ride the long route, ride the short route, or ride one of the medium routes, but just ride.

Sussex County Technological School Engineering Team Awarded “First Honorable Mention” at Prestigious International Submarine Contest

By Elise Phillips Margulis n 2001 Sussex County Technological School’s engineering class began building human-powered submarines to race in the International Submarine Races (ISR) at the Naval Surface Warfare Center in Maryland. Students spend a year constructing the submarine from “scratch.” Professor Christopher Land, a former officer on a nuclear powered submarine in the Navy, reached out to ISR eighteen years ago when his students approached him asking if they could participate in a group project. He had wanted to integrate a “Senior Project” into the curriculum of his Engineering program so the timing was perfect. The students suggested a variety of projects and the ISR competition seemed to be the most interesting and challenging. Initially it was held in Florida. When Land read that the competition was in the ocean he didn’t think it would be safe. “I remember saying to the students ‘Let me get this straight. You want me to go to the Board of Education and get permission to design and build a human-powered submarine, let one of you get in it, and release you into the ocean? I don’t think so!’” The next week the competition was moved to a pool at the Naval Base and Land signed up his team. The Seniors designed a submarine and shared the plans with Juniors who would need to construct and present it the following year because the competition is every other year. Land said that the Juniors “proceeded to rip the design apart.” Fortunately, after working out some issues, the Juniors were able to build Umptysquatch 1, Sussex Tech’s first human-powered submarine. The unusual submarine name, Umptysquatch, comes from Land’s use of that word during physics lectures. Umpty-

squatch’s meaning is similar to “thingamajig.” He said that when he was in the Navy people used the term when they couldn’t think of a particular word. Land objected when his students chose that name, but the Juniors refused to change it. The unique name turned out to be good for publicity and their story was picked up by national news. Land reported that the Diving Supervisor at the competition had a lot of fun with the name of the team. “During our performance at ISR-7 the Diving Supervisor refused to refer to them as Umptysquatch. He preferred the following monikers: ‘Umptyscratch,’ ‘Humpty squash,’ ‘Always Crash,’ and ‘Sasquatch.’ “ Each competition’s submarine team is comprised of up to 30 Junior and Senior members. The process begins on day one of school. The first task is for the students to decide if they want to pursue innovation or speed because prior teams discovered that there isn’t time for both. Once the concept is conceived, the team divides up into design groups: propulsion, hull, steering and diving, safety, etc. The design phase normally concludes around at the end of December. Manufacturing of the design then lasts from January to May. The final phase of the project is testing the submarine in the YMCA pool. Bill lamia, CEO of the Randolph YMCA, welcomes the students to their facility to test their submarines. He is delighted to help the students train for the competition. “The YMCA supports all opportunities for individuals to learn and grow and thrive. We were thrilled at the chance to support the students and their challenge to design, build and race a human-powered submarine. It is a remarkable program and I

commend the Foundation for Underwater Research Education for providing the opportunity for all the young men and women that participated.” Teams create a one- or two-person “wet” submarine for the competition and use scuba equipment to breathe the air in the submarine as they navigate over an underwater course. The submarines entered in the race are all different because each is made by separate teams and incorporate a variety of new techniques to guide and propel the structure. Dennis Santos of Elite Scuba, the company that lends the students their scuba gear and certifies them in scuba, said he’s proud to be involved in the project. “It’s a wonderful program that gives the kids an opportunity to learn a unique and diverse

Only three high schools presented at ISR-15. The students gain remarkable experience because they use the information they’ve learned to work hands on as a team and problem solve as they design and build the submarines.

Submarine Contest... continued frompage 25 novation” and “Best use of Technology.” Sussex Tech won First Honorable Mention for Innovation for their use of integral buoyancy tanks and their Automated Buoyancy Control System. Land said that Sussex’s team has won many times before but it’s the work they put into the submarine that’s important. “We have won various awards in the past,

nearly all of the ones listed above at different times during different races. As I tell the students during the project, ‘We just want to be in the picture with the other 20 or so international teams. Only 20 teams in the world take on this monumental design/ build engineering challenge. The fact that we are there competing at that level makes us all winners.’”

The Humane Rescue Alliance and St. Hubert’s Animal Welfare Center Announce Merger

he Humane Rescue Alliance of Washington, DC, and St. Hubert’s Animal Welfare Center of Madison, announced that the organizations are merging to create the first regional, community-based, multi-state animal welfare organization in the nation. The combined group will provide direct rescue and care of animals in need, cruelty investigations and local animal control services, robust regional community support programs that allow pets to stay with their families, and a premier transport program that invests in partner communities to solve pet overpopulation sustainably and nationwide. The merger will leverage and export the strengths of its founding organizations, which rest on the professional competence of their staffs and the depths of their roots in their communities. Lisa LaFontaine, President and CEO of the Humane Rescue Alliance and a nationally-recognized leader in animal welfare, will lead the combined organization as President and CEO. “By unifying two industry-leading organizations, we are building an alliance that can tackle the systemic challenges facing animals in our region and beyond, with the goal of

saving more lives,” said LaFontaine. In 2016, LaFontaine oversaw the merger of the Washington Humane Society and Washington Animal Rescue League, resulting in the formation of the Humane Rescue Alliance – the first unified organization in a major urban area to provide all the animal welfare programs and services to the community. “The merger of WHS and WARL was never a final destination. Rather, it was an expression of the imperative that animal welfare organizations must work more collaboratively, and rather than compete, they should share a sense of responsibility for the overall population of vulnerable animals,” LaFontaine added. “The future of animal welfare is about cooperation, consolidation, a deepening of community support, and the sensible balancing of resources and animal populations between partnering animal welfare groups.” St. Hubert’s WayStation program has emerged as a bestin-class animal transport program, creating unprecedented collaboration among shelter organizations to address animal population disparities between communities, and to provide a critical lifeline in times of natural and manmade

disasters. The combined organization will invest further in the WayStation program and will continue to connect communities that have extra capacity for placing and caring for homeless animals with communities where animal overpopulation remains a significant problem. The WayStation program is a vehicle for animal welfare groups to increase their collective capacity to address the challenges facing people and animals in their respective communities. According to LaFontaine, “By enriching the organizations on both ends of animal transports, we can weave a safety net for animals in every corner of the country. Today is a happy day for HRA, St. Hubert’s, and our 83 partner organizations throughout the nation.” The merger was initiated by conversations between LaFontaine and Heather Cammisa, the long-time CEO of St. Hubert’s whose vision and dedication enabled the organization to become a regional powerhouse. It has been approved by unanimous votes of both the HRA and St. Hubert’s boards of directors, and the organizations have been working at the leadership level for the past several months to lay the groundwork for a smooth and efficient combination.
