Chatham’s Sunshine Striders Run To Support Cancer Research
By Maryanne Christiano-Mistretta n Sat., Oct. 1, Sun- children, from stroller-age to shine Striders Fun 13-years-old participated Run earned $14,475 with their parents. at its second fundraiser for Chatham resident and orrare cancer research at Me- ganizer, Kelly Leach, is a morial Sloan Kettering Can- rare cancer survivor who cer Center. More than 200 started the fundraiser to give
Barbara Schmidt-Kemp “Your Hometown Realtor” “Barbara was so well organized and helped get our home ready to sell. We couldn’t have done it without her kind words and guidance. She went above and beyond what most agents have done”.

her “something to focus on; something to do.” Leach partnered with Cycle for Survival, a national charity that gives 100 percent of its funds to all types of rare cancer research, and started the Sunshine Striders. “Cycle for Survival empowers us,” stated Leach. “We are making a real difference to everyone who has ever been touched by cancer. We ride for those who previously fought against cancer – so they’re not forgotten and their battles are inspirations for more research and more progress. We ride for those currently battling so they have effective treatments and can one day be cancer free. We ride for those who will have future battles with cancer. I had a rare cancer that tends to come creeping back, so I want to support Memorial Sloan Kettering’s research for new treatment options should that day ever come.” Leach was diagnosed with Ewing’s Sarcoma in August 2014 – a rare cancer, which is extremely rare in adults. After 12 rounds of aggressive chemotherapy, six weeks of radiation to her
N
tumor site, and two weeks of radiation to her lungs where the disease had metastasized, Leach is now cancer free. “My first run of scans after chemo came back clear,” she said. “By November, I had my first CT scans and they came back clear. I still had ten months of chemo. That’s a tough time. Cancer doctors do a lot to make sure they get it all. Post cancer, my scans remained clear.” Team Pedaling Sunshine was launched in 2015. The team name was inspired by the bedtime song “You are My Sunshine,” which Leach had been singing to her sons, Ryan, 9, and Tyler, 5, every
night since they were born. Her sons, who are students in Chatham, are also involved in the run. “They’re very proud,” Leach said. “They recognize that we’re having a big impact on doing something good. They use their voices to support, rally friends, spread the word in schools.” The run is a simple onemile run, making it easy for all children. “It’s not competitive,” said Leach. “No one’s recording time. Every participant gets a medal and tshirt.” After the run, there’s a big pizza party in the Leach family’s backyard. “It’s one of
those events you have to experience,” she said. Leach plans to have the run each year. In addition to the Sunshine Striders, Leach and her sons are busy with other activities. “We’re a very sports-oriented family,” she said. The boys enjoy baseball and tennis. They all spend summers at the Jersey shore. For more information on Team Pedaling Sunshine, visit:http://mskcc.convio. net/site/PageServer?pagename=team_pedaling_sunshine.

Borrowing Broadens Beyond Books At The Library Of The Chathams
By Kristina Ailara mbracing the needs and interests of the community, the Library of the Chathams offers a variety of fun and exciting materials. Its diversified collection includes non-traditional library items that patrons can borrow if they want to try something out before purchasing or if they are simply interested in having a unique hands-on learning experience. This year, the library’s collection has grown with the addition of Google Cardboards, a Fitbit and a telescope. Last year was the onset of the very popular musical instrument loaner program. Musical instruments include a keyboard, an acoustic guitar, a ukulele, a trumpet and a flute. Pa-
trons can also borrow iPads, an initiative that began in 2013. Additionally, the library offers free museum passes. The museum program began in 2011 and the list of museums can be found on the library’s website, http://www.chathamlibrary.org/faqs/how-can-i-get -free-museum-passes/. Galina Natenzon, the assistant director of the library, says that the program’s “success, as measured by the number of checkouts, varies. Usually there is a spike of interest when we acquire a new item, and then it wanes, or goes in peaks and valleys. Right now, there is a long line waiting to check out our new telescope. Among the musical instruments, the most popular is the guitar. Museum
passes are perennial favorites.” These items are available to adult patrons who are in good standing. They can be borrowed by Chatham residents and are also available to patrons of other libraries that are a part of the MorrisUnion Federation of Libraries or the Morris Automated Information Network. Items may be reserved online or by phone. Patrons are liable for replacement costs if the items are lost or damaged and they are asked to sign a user agreement when they take out the telescope. Natenzon calls these items “ephemera.” She explains, “the word ‘ephemera’ (or ‘realia’) is library speak for ‘real-life’ items that we lend, as op-
posed to books. For example, in the past, libraries used to lend out framed art to decorate your home; slide projectors; even movie projectors. Many libraries still lend bags to carry your books, and umbrellas when
it rains. Some libraries can lend you tools and even sewing machines!” She adds, “The idea has been around for a long time...as technology changes, so do those interesting items. For example, after slide and
movie projectors fell into obsolescence, libraries started lending out MP3 players. Then came the turn of eReaders and iPads.” Friends of the Library provides the funding for continued on page 4

HVAC Inspection Advised To Prepare For Cold Months
he leaves may be falling now, but winter is just around the corner. Don’t wait until cold weather arrives to make sure the heating system can take on the chill. Properly preparing the heating system for winter requires only a few hours of time and guarantees comfort during the colder months. No one wants to have their furnace breakdown in the middle of winter! Regular check-ups and maintenance ensure that the system is performing efficiently and providing optimum home comfort. A maintenance plan also extends the life of equipment, increases cost effectiveness and ensures safe operation. Recommended by manufacturers and utilities alike, regularly scheduled maintenance on a heating and air conditioning system can reduce breakdowns by as much as 95 percent and lower utility bills by up to 35 percent. Air Group offers a wide choice of service plans for heating, air conditioning, plumbing, electrical & generator systems. A service technician is available 24 hours a day seven days a week from OctoberApril for heating through its on-call rotation, which is especially important during extreme weather when someone is entrusted to get equipment going right away. The easiest and most cost-effective way to keep a system running efficiently is to enroll in an Air Group Priority Plus Maintenance Plan. Tune-ups catch small problems before they become major breakdowns. Get other membership benefits, like priority service to jump to the head of the line and be scheduled ahead of others. This applies to both routine and emergency calls. Also receive a 15 percent discount off the bottom line for heating, air conditioning and plumbing services for as long as the service partner relationship remains in effect. And on top of all that, get a peace of mind. The home’s plumb-
ing, heating and air conditioning systems will be assessed to ensure they are in safe operating condition; findings will be reported, concerns will be explained and potential emergencies will be alerted before they become disruptive problems. Check out this helpful checklist to ensuring the furnace runs smoothly and efficiently throughout the entire snowy season. Replace the furnace filter. Check to see if the filter is full of debris since the last time it was replaced. A dirty filter can cause the furnace to work harder than it has to, and decrease airflow, making it to use more energy and shortening the lifespan of the furnace. Now is also the time to service the humidifier by changing the water filter. Check vents and ductwork. Be sure the supply and return vents are free and clear while also being sure they are not blocked with furniture or clothes. The air must circulate through the rooms to heat them properly. Air leaking from the basement or attic ductwork is air that should be traveling to rooms. Thoroughly check ducts and their connections to make sure they are secure, and seal air leaks properly before turning on the furnace for the winter. Schedule a maintenance call. Having the furnace thoroughly cleaned and inspected by one of the experienced HVAC professionals at Air Group LLC before the start of the winter can make sure that the unit will run efficiently and will fix any potential problems before they grow into bigger concerns. Need the furnace inspected? If the furnace wasn’t inspected yet, don’t delay. Contact the experts at Air Group, certified HVAC experts with more than 50 years of experience, call at 1-800-545-1020 or schedule an appointment online at airgroupllc.com.

Local Kiwanis Club Seeking New Membership
he Kiwanis Club of the Chathams and Madison was chartered on Aug. 7, 1930. Worldwide, the Kiwanis club has about 280,000 members – with a mission to change children’s lives. The local club currently sponsors five groups to help youth mature into caring and concerned adults. The groups are: Madison High School Key Club, Chatham High School Key club, ECLC of New Jersey Key Club, Chatham Middle School Builders Club, and St. Patrick’s Middle School Builders Club. Funds to support these and other worthy causes are raised by the Kiwanis Club. Amongst the club are a variety of committees. From the finance committee to community services, all members actively partake in individual responsibilities for the club. Recently, Justin Montanaro has been appointed to head the Publicity Committee.
Justin has been living in Madison for more than a year, and is the director of Admissions at Pine Acres Healthcare and Rehab Center in Madison. His favorite part of his job is the ability to help others on a daily basis – which was a major reason for him joining with the Kiwanis. The Kiwanis, as mentioned, has been serving the youth in the area since 1930. As one of the younger members of the club, a big part of Montanaro’s role has become to increase membership. Many members of the club have upwards of 30 years of service, and they are in need of new members. If anyone might be interested in joining the Kiwanis, reach out to Montanaro at 973-714-6656. The Kiwanis is an excellent opportunity to serve the youth of this great community, and help is needed to continue this service.

CHS Student Helps Subsistence Farmers
hatham High School junior and 2016 Global Youth Institute Delegate Indira Roy spent the summer in Hyderabad, India researching hydroponic farming techniques to help local subsistence farmers. She designed and implemented an experiment that has helped her to better understand how to help farmers maximize crop yields. Roy said, “Major environmental issues that get in the way of productive farming in and near Hyderabad include the infertile soil and frequent drought. Farmers thus use a lot of chemical fertilizers, pesticides, and insecticides, hoping these will improve crop productivity. However, their crop yields are still low, and they get into great debt, which can lead to suicide.” Hydroponic farming utilizes much less water than soil-based agriculture, so it is particularly beneficial to areas that are prone to droughts. Roy said, “I decided that deep flow technique (DFT) hydroponics may be part of the solution to subsistence
farmer poverty. DFT hydroponics involves filling a tank or well with nutrient solution, then floating a styrofoam raft bed on top of the solution. The raft bed has holes in it to hold net pots, and the net pots contain the hydroponic substrate (an alternative to soil) and plant seedlings. DFT hydroponics usually also involves an electrical air pump that produces oxygen bubbles in the nutrient solution. This makes DFT hydroponics impractical for subsistence farmers in India, as they either lack access to or do not have the money for reliable power supplies. My research was to study if DFT hydroponics can be successful in the climate of Hyder-
abad, India, without using electricity.” In the future, Roy plans to study how communities in Indian villages can implement low-cost DFT hydroponics. She is also interested in researching the ways in which consumers evaluate produce when making purchases, such as perceived freshness. Roy plans to present a paper she wrote on hydroponics at the 2016 Global Youth Institute in October in Des Moines, Iowa, which is hosted by the World Food Prize. She plans to discuss her summer experiments at this forum in order to share her next lines of inquiry with the Delegation.

Life-sized Sundial Featured At Frelinghuysen Arboretum
By J. L. Shively The earliest surviving sundials can be dated back to ancient Egypt circa 1500 BC,” explains Gold Award Girl Scout Alexandra Levoyer in the sundial brochure she created to accompany her project. Originally known as “shadow clocks,” the sundial was the most reliable method for timekeeping even well into the 14th century, Levoyer writes, and sundials remain an interesting and whimsical aspect of many gardens around the world. Now a freshman at TCNJ, Levoyer designed the sundial for the Frelinghuysen Arboretum while she was a senior at Morris
Country School of Technology. For the project, Levoyer of Parsippany decided to
create a “human sundial,” which incorporates a person as part of the sundial to tell the time. As a youth volun-

teer at the Arboretum for the past four years, Levoyer knew of the staff’s dream to have a sundial like this on the property. Gwen Montgomery, the Senior Horticultural Program specialist at the Arboretum, explains that many other arboreta incorporate human sundials into their gardens as they are “something of interest to children” and are often an ornamental feature in historic gardens such as the Frelinghuysen Arboretum. “It took her over 100 hours to research and construct [the sundial],” explains Montgomery, going on to explain the great time and care Levoyer spent with her father in mapping out true north with a compass. Levoyer also used a GPS for accuracy on the placement of the stepping stones which mark the hours. In her research about sundials, Levoyer was able to contact the American Sundial Association and get longitude and latitude numbers for Morristown specifically to generate the most accurate time for the sun
clock, explains Montgomery. The stepping stones which represent the hour markers and the date-scale were cast by hand and Levoyer’s sundial also allows the user to account for Day Light Savings Time. According to Levoyer’s brochure, all sundials consist of two parts. The first part, the base plate or faceplate, is the surface which marks the hours of the day. The sundial at the arboretum has large stepping stones to mark each hour of the day. The second part of a sundial is the gnomon, which is the vertical object which casts a shadow to mark the hour on the base plate. In the case of a human sundial, a person takes the place of the gnomon. To create an accurate marking of time with the human sundial at the Arboretum, the person acting as the gnomon must stand on a date-scale slab according to the current month and raises an arm overhead to cast a shadow, allowing their shadow to fall on the
coinciding hour stone, or between them depending on the time of day. Levoyer explains in her brochure that there are “more than seven different types of sundials” and the sundial she has created at the Arboretum is an Analemmatic sundial, which means that that the gnomon of the dial moves according to different factors throughout the year. The sundial is located near the Branching Out Children’s Garden at the Arboretum which is on the parking lot side of the garden and is approximately 12 ft. by 30 ft. Construction for the sundial took around a year to complete from its conception to its completion in May. The Arboretum held a public dedication of the sundial at that time. The Arboretum is free and open daily to the public from sunrise to sunset. For more information or for maps of the Arboretum, visit the Haggerty Education Center on the Arboretum Grounds, which is open from 9 a.m. to 4:30 p.m.

Many Walk To Raise Awareness Of Suicide Prevention
n Sept., 24 Chatham Township hosted its inaugural Out of the Darkness Community Walk to raise funds and awareness for suicide prevention benefiting the American Foundation for Suicide Prevention. More than 500 people registered and raised more than $65,000. The event took place at the Chatham High School featuring individual walkers and teams. Chatham Twp. officials had proclaimed September, “American Foundation for Suicide Prevention” month in Chatham Township. “As Mayor of Chatham Township I have made a concerted effort to increase awareness of suicide prevention,” stated Chatham Twp. Mayor Curt Ritter. “My interest in doing so stems from my early days on the Committee when I learned of a young father who died by suicide. While I did not know the individual, I committed myself, with the support of the Township Committee, to do whatever we could to help increase awareness of this important topic.” Residents from the Chathams and the surrounding communities of Summit, Madison, Millburn, Short Hills and elsewhere participated in the walk. “It’s our hope that all this walking will lead to talking, which is what we need to help remove the stigma when it comes to suicide prevention,” Ritter said. “Suicide touches one in five American families and we hope that by walking

we save lives and bring hope to those affected by suicide. Suicide is now the nation’s tenth-leading cause of death, and the second-leading cause of death for Americans aged

CHS Students Attend Medical Symposium
n June, three Chatham High School students attended the 2016 Congress of Future Medical Leaders in Boston, Mass. Scarlett Blydenburgh, Alessa Khan, and Logan Richardson attended the three-day symposium as delegates, where they attended a series of medical lectures by renowned medical researchers, who are leaders in their field. The student delegates also had the opportunity to observe a live surgery and ask questions of the surgeon. They stayed in dormitories at the University of Massachusetts at Lowell during their stay, which offered them a short taste of college life. In reflecting on the value of the experience, Scarlett said, “The confer-
ence changed my perspective on the field of medicine in a positive way in that I’m strongly thinking of majoring in science in college. Specifically, I’ve always wanted to be a veterinarian since I was a little kid because of my deep love and protection for animals, and this experience
just added the courage for me to pursue my childhood dream.� Many of the speakers were researchers who have been recognized by national and international organizations for the work they have done in their fields. Additional speakers included promising young
minds that have made significant advanced in the field of medicine. In order to attend the congress, these students had to demonstrate leadership potential, have earned a GPA of 3.5 or above, and aspire to be physicians, scientists or technologists.
