Denville Resident Assists New Jersey Woman in Need of Kidney Transplant
By Evan Wechman
When Maria Power of Clark, New Jersey got married to the love of her life Michael seven years ago, things were looking great. Power was working as a successful chef in Manhattan, and Michael, a schoolteacher in Jersey City were making plans to start a family and spend as much of their free time together as possible. Unfortunately, their plans changed on the night of January 17, 2020, when she started feeling very ill.
”I’d been working as a chef for the past eight years in New York City,” Power said. “So, January 17, that night, I think it was a Friday, I started feeling some swelling and some pain in my legs. So, I called out of work, went to the doctor, we did some blood work, and a few hours later, the doctor called me back and told me to rush to the ER, because there’s some kidney failure that’s showing up in the blood work. My nephrologist showed up at the ER, we did more tests and came to find out I was at end stage kidney failure and that dialysis was needed in my life.”
For Power, since that night she has tried to stay as hopeful as possible while continuing to pray that a kind-hearted person would come forward to donate a kidney to her so she and her husband can do all the things they initially planned.
“We just wanted to start a life together and make a family and travel together and be like any other husband and wife doing happy things together instead of me, being cooked up at dialysis three times a week,” Power said.
For Power, this struggle has been a very isolating experience. She has been unable to continue working due to her health and most of her family, including her parents live in the Philippines. Her husband Michael whom she describes as “her rock,” has kept her hopeful and strong during this tough time.
“Cooking is my passion,” Power said. “Serving food to people and seeing them react to what I made, is what I would love to go back to, and also traveling would also be a big part because I’m Filipino, and I would want my husband to experience the Philippines for once, and meet my extended family as well.”
However, there has been a silver lining. About four years ago Power heard on the news about Denville resident Donna Tissot who has dedicated her life to finding kidney donors for those needing such help. Power immediately reached out and the two have been searching for a donor since that time.
Tissot has been publicizing Power’s plight on social media outlets and billboards across New Jersey in the hopes of somebody coming forward to be a hero for Power and her husband.
According to Tissot, “Maria is a chef by trade and would love to go back to work doing what she does best which is
cooking. Eventually, her and her husband Michael would love to settle down in the hopes of starting a family. Maria’s hope isn’t just wishful thinking, it’s a powerful emotional force that gives her life meaning. So, in essence to have the ability to give someone back their health is the most amazing and powerful thing you can ever do.”
Despite the optimism that Power and Tissot continue to have, it’s critical that whoever comes forward is serious about the procedure.
Power has already had two people who initially said they would be a donor, change their mind a few weeks later. She urges those who are on the fence to come forward, but to do the necessary research to make sure this is something they want to do.
Most importantly, Maria wants those who are hesitant about being a donor to know they can live a healthy life with one kidney, and that her life would be saved by such a kind individual.
Currently, Maria goes three times a week to her dialysis sessions. Initially, she was on dialysis at home, but there were complications. She is grateful for all the support she has received from Tissot and the warm staff at Cooperman Barnabas Medical Center in Livingston.
“I was lucky enough to start at-home dialysis right before the pandemic started and have been waiting on a miracle ever since. I look forward to the day when I can go back to work and start my life again with my husband,” Power said.
Her blood type is O positive, but it doesn’t matter the blood type of the donor because the hospital participates in the paired exchange program. For more information, please fill out the donor referral form, and include you are donating for Maria Power. https://cbmclivingdonor.org/

Dr. Goldberg is a leading expert on dental implants. He is a Diplomate of the American Board of
Dentistry, which is a degree held by only 1% of dentists worldwide. Whether you require a single implant or complex full-mouth rehabilitation, a free consultation with Dr. Goldberg should be considered.
5 Things to Know Before Getting Dental Implants
When a person is missing one or more teeth, dental implants can be an excellent method to replace them. Here are some things to consider when evaluating your options.
1. Will there be one or more offices treating you, and are you OK with that?
There are two phases of treatment when it comes to dental implants. A Surgical Phase, and a Restorative
General & Cosmetic Dentistry
Phase. In the first phase, a dentist will perform surgical procedures: extractions, grafting, and / or implant placement. In the second phase, the implant will be restored with a crown, denture, or some other prosthesis. Some dentists will only do the first, some will do only the second, and some will do both. If you work with an office that does only one of these two phases, you will have to bounce between offices. This can lead to a lack of proper communication during the process, or finger-pointing if there are problems afterwards. Are you OK with this? At Morris County Dental Associates, we perform all phases of implant treatment under one roof, so you do not have to contend with these issues.
Dr. Goldberg treats entire families, from toddlers to seniors. Services include cleanings, check-ups, fillings, Invisalign, dentures, cosmetics, and more! He and his staff enjoy the long-term relationships they build with their patients.

not be your only option to correct a problem. Root canals with crowns, bridges, partial dentures, and complete dentures are common alternatives. Be sure your dentist has provided you with options for your particular situation.

2.Do Your Homework.

Dr.
Any dentist can place and/or restore implants. They do not have to have any specific training. But what experience level does the dentist have? Or if you are seeing multiple doctors or offices (see #1 above), are they coordinated so that your experience is smooth and enjoyable?

He teaches other dentists about implants, and has a whole section of his office dedicated to implant treatment. He has many pieces of equipment to make your treatment smooth, efficient, comfortable, and accurate.
3.Have you explored other options?
Dental implants may
is likely to be different than what you need. Therefore, it is safe to assume your cost will be different than theirs.

or General Dentistry Consultation
4. Cost of dental implants: don’t compare to what your friend had done! Not all dental implants will be priced the same: there are many variables. Do you need an extraction? Do you need grafting? What kind of grafting do you need? Can stock parts be used, or are custom ones required? For all of these (and more) reasons, trying to provide someone with an estimate is impossible without a physical evaluation and discussion. Furthermore, be careful when comparing costs with friends: what they had done
5. Don’t rush things. Everyone wants things done yesterday. Faster, faster, faster. Time is short, and you have better places to be. At times it is possible to speed up implant treatments, but it’s not always in your best interest. Implants have a very high success rate. But the more you push the envelope, meaning the faster you rush the process, the greater the chances of having problems and complications. Sometimes slower is better. Again, your implant dentist will be able to guide you accordingly.

Hold Dear To Heart This Precious Truth: God Loves You More Than You Will Ever Know
By Richard Mabey Jr.
No matter what it is happening in your life right now. No matter how bleak things may look. Please know that God loves you with an immense and intense love that reaches beyond human comprehension. God loves you more than you will ever know.
Perhaps you’ve just lost your job. Or, a romantic relationship has fallen apart. Or, you suffered the betrayal of a dear and close personal friend. Or, perhaps a close relative or dear friend has recently passed away. Whatever the thing is that you are enduring right now, please know that God loves you more than you will ever know.
When I was first diagnosed with Hypertrophic Cardiomyopathy, about two years ago, I was crushed. I cried. I felt all was hopeless. I was emotionally broken. I cried myself to sleep, ev-
ery night, for about two or three months. Then it came to me, in a most illuminating realization, God loves me more than I will ever know.
I then began a very serious regiment of prayer. Four or five times a day, I would intensely pray for God to heal me. And, at the same time, I prayed for God to heal the sick, help the poor and for the homeless to find shelter. I read the Bible with laser beam focus. I concentrated on the Book of John. I read and reread and reread the Book of John. Reading this sacred writing, so many times that it became, not an intellectual process, but a very real and deep way of communicating with God’s holy scripture.
In the side of my yard, where I am now living in Florida, stands a shed. I affectionately refer to it as my clubhouse. I have filled the walls with pictures, that
my dad had taken over the years, of forests, babbling brooks, landmarks along the Appalachian Trail, perspectives of the Jersey Shore and the flower gardens that once graced the landscape of the old Mabey Homestead.
I look to my clubhouse as being my retreat, my little place to read the Bible, to pray, to contemplate and to research cutting edge treatments for HCM. I earnestly study about vitamins, minerals and herbs. I diligently research which of these vitamins, minerals and herbs have had success in healing heart conditions. I refuse, absolutely refusse, to spend one second feeling sorry for myself.
Please, please, please know that God loves you more than you will ever know. Pray, with all your heart and inner being, for God to help you rise above your present situation. Stay
true to the straight and narrow path. Take time to sit down, be still, clear your mind, pray and feel the immense flow of God’s infinite love flowing through the chambers of your heart.
I just cannot stress it enough. No matter what mountain lies in front of you. No matter what life struggle you are presently enduring. Please deeply contemplate on this concept, God loves you more than you will ever know.

The History of Christmas
Christmas, celebrated annually on December 25, is one of the most widely observed holidays in the world, commemorating the birth of Jesus Christ. While its origins lie in Christian theology, the holiday’s history is a blend of religious tradition, pagan customs, and cultural evolution.
Early Christian Roots
The celebration of Christmas as a Christian holiday began in the 4th century CE. The Gospels of Matthew and Luke in the New Testament describe the birth of Jesus in Bethlehem, heralded by angels and marked by the visit of shepherds and wise men. However, the Bible does not specify a date for Jesus’ birth, and early Christians did not celebrate it.
December 25 was chosen for Christmas in 336 CE during the reign of Emperor Constantine, the first Roman emperor to convert to Christianity. Scholars believe this date was selected to coincide with existing pagan festivals, particularly the Roman Saturnalia and the celebration of Sol Invictus (“The Unconquered Sun”), which marked the winter solstice. By aligning Christmas with these festivities, the Church sought to facilitate the acceptance of Christianity within the Roman Empire.
Pagan Influences
Many Christmas traditions have roots in pre-Christian winter festivals. Saturnalia, celebrated from December 17 to 23, was a time of feasting, gift-giving, and social reversal. Similarly, Yule, a Germanic pagan festival, honored the winter solstice with bonfires, feasts, and the use of evergreens, which symbolized life during the darkest days
of the year. The Yule log, later adapted into Christmas customs, originates from this tradition.
The incorporation of these pagan elements helped Christmas evolve into a more inclusive holiday. Practices such as decorating trees, exchanging gifts, and caroling all have links to pre-Christian customs.
The Medieval Celebration of Christmas
During the Middle Ages, Christmas became a major feast day in Europe, combining religious observance with festive merriment. Churches held nativity plays and midnight masses, while communities celebrated with feasts, music, and dancing. The season of Christmastide, which lasted from December 25 to January 6 (Epiphany), was marked by various festivities, including “The Lord of Misrule,” where societal roles were temporarily inverted.
However, Christmas was not universally celebrated. In Puritan England and colonial America, it was banned in the 17th century for being too indulgent and pagan. It wasn’t until the 19th century that Christmas began to take on its modern form.
The Modern Christmas
The Victorian era redefined Christmas, emphasizing family, generosity, and goodwill. Writers like Charles Dickens, whose novella A Christmas Carol (1843) popularized themes of compassion and redemption, played a key role in this transformation.
The introduction of Christmas trees, inspired by German traditions, became widespread after Queen Victoria and Prince Albert popularized them in the 1840s. Gift-giving, once associated with St. Nicholas, also became central to
Christmas.
Santa Claus, derived from St. Nicholas, evolved into a cheerful, red-suited figure through 19th and 20th-century advertising and literature. His modern image was cemented by companies like Coca-Cola in the 1930s.
Christmas Today
Today, Christmas is celebrated worldwide, blending religious and secular traditions. For Christians, it remains a sacred holiday honoring the birth of Jesus. For others, it is a cultural event centered on family, generosity, and joy. The history of Christmas reflects a dynamic interplay of faith, culture, and adaptation, making it a uniquely universal celebration.

I remember Mom: Mom’s Last Batch of Oatmeal Cookies
By Richard Mabey Jr.
In early September of 2019, my late mother (Janet Kemmerer Mabey) asked me to help her bake some oatmeal cookies. I was rather honored. My mom was an incredible baker. For many years, Mom served as the Bakery Manager at the A&P in Boonton, before she married my father. And,
while my dad was stationed at Hickam Air Field, during World Wat II, Mom sent oatmeal cookies to Dad, every week.
Dad’s brother Earl, lived across the street from the Kemmerer Homestead, with his lovely bride, Eleanor. It was Aunt Eleanor who encouraged Mom to send cookies to her shy and
homesick brother-in-law, stationed in Hawaii. The tie of oatmeal cookies was a connection that Mom and Dad had all throughout their marreage. You see, Mom would bake several batches of oatmeal cookies every week. When she packed Dad’s lunch for work, the night before, Mom would always include
three oatmeal cookies in his paper sack.
Mom definitely needed to have her Aortic Valve replaced.
On the nineteenth of November, Mom had surgery and had her Aortic Valve replaced. Sadly, the surgery was not a complete success and Mom went Home to be with the Lord on the night of the twentythird of December.
It was a most strange and bewildering thing for me, as Mom and I baked oatmeal cookies, that fateful day in early September of 2019. As Mom was mixing the dough, with her electric mixer, she whispered to me that Dad was going to love these cookies when he came home from work. It was a moment. Just an odd moment. Wiothin a few seconds, Mom looked up to me as simply said, “I know your dad is in Heaven. I just had a moment.”
I told Mom that I understood. A solemn quiet fell between us.
A couple of weeks later, in mid September, Mom had terrible chest pains. My sister called the ambulance. Within a very short time, Mom was in the hospital. Sadly, the doctors told us
Life is painfully short. This Christmas will mark six years since Mom passed away. I miss her very much. In all so many ways, love is the most powerful force in the universe. Looking back, I wonder if Mom knew her time left upon this earth was short, that fateful day when Mom and I made oatmeal cookies for the very last time. I wonder if she deeply know that soon she would be with Dad once again.

Hanukkah, also known as the Festival of Lights, is an eight-day Jewish holiday commemorating the rededication of the Second Temple in Jerusalem. Its origins lie in the events surrounding the Maccabean Revolt (167–160 BCE) and the Jewish fight for religious freedom. Celebrated on the 25th day of Kislev in the Hebrew calendar, Hanukkah holds significant historical and cultural meaning for Jews worldwide.
The Historical Context
In the 2nd century BCE, the region of Judea was under the control of the Seleucid Empire, led by King Antiochus IV Epiphanes. Antiochus sought to unify his empire by imposing Hellenistic culture and religion upon the diverse peoples he ruled. For the Jews of Judea, this meant prohibitions against practicing Judaism, desecration of the holy Temple, and forced participation in pagan rituals.
In 167 BCE, Antiochus ordered the erection of a statue of Zeus in the Jewish Temple and the sacrifice of pigs on its altar. These actions profoundly violated Jewish religious laws and provoked widespread outrage. This led to the Maccabean Revolt, spearheaded by the Hasmonean family, particularly Judah Maccabee and his brothers.
The History of Hanukkah
The Maccabean Revolt
The Maccabees, a small band of Jewish rebels, waged a guerrilla war against the Seleucid forces. Despite being vastly outnumbered and outmatched in weaponry, their determination and tactical ingenuity led to a series of victories. By 164 BCE, the Maccabees successfully recaptured Jerusalem and reclaimed the desecrated Temple.
Upon entering the Temple, they found it in ruins, with the sacred menorah extinguished and the oil supplies contaminated. They sought to rededicate the Temple and relight the menorah, which symbolized God’s presence. However, only a small jar of pure oil was found—enough to keep the menorah burning for just one day.
The Miracle of the Oil
According to Jewish tradition, the small amount of oil miraculously lasted for eight days, giving the Maccabees enough time to prepare more consecrated oil. This event was seen as a divine sign of support for their struggle and became central to the Hanukkah story.
The Evolution of Hanukkah
The celebration of Hanukkah was established to commemorate both the military victory and the miracle of the oil.
Unlike major Jewish holidays rooted in the Torah, Hanukkah’s origins are recorded in later texts, such as the Books of Maccabees and the Talmud.
Over the centuries, Hanukkah has evolved into a joyous festival marked by specific traditions. Lighting the hanukkiah, a nine-branched candelabrum, is the holiday’s most iconic ritual, symbolizing the miracle of the oil. Other customs include playing dreidel, eating foods fried in oil (like latkes and sufganiyot), and giving gifts.
Hanukkah’s Modern Significance
Hanukkah represents themes of religious freedom, perseverance, and hope. While it is a relatively minor holiday in terms of religious observance, its proximity to Christmas in Western cultures has amplified its cultural visibility.
Today, Hanukkah serves as a time for Jewish families to come together, celebrate their heritage, and reflect on the enduring struggle for faith and identity in the face of adversity.
Museum Spotlight: Nokia Bells Labs Technology Showcase
By Steve Sears
The Nokia Bell Labs Technology Showcase is a place you must visit more than once. In fact, multiple visits may be needed to digest the accomplishments via discovery and creation of those who have worked for Bell Laboratories.
Consider this “Museum Spotlight” just a nibble. The menu onsite is of vast variety, so a visit is encouraged. Located off exit 43 on Route 78 West, there are no tours offered, but the exhibit is open for self-tours Monday through Friday from 7 a.m. - 7 p.m. Large groups of five people or more should call and plan a visit in advance. Park in the visitor parking lot on the right of the building and enter the lobby. The showcase is on the right as you enter, although there may be some interesting artifacts on display in the lobby itself. However, the actual showcase is the focus here.
The first spot visitors should visit is the interactive screen that presents a timeline of Bell Labs innovations up to 2025. The board mirrors what can be found on the Nokia website if you want to do some homework prior to your visit. Once you have done that, you are ready to tour the showcase.
Bell Labs this year has been celebrating the official 100year anniversary of its 1925 founding, although initially there were engineers and technicians in a Greenwich Village Western Electric telephone factory building and
improving telephones and telephone service as early as 1896. Those engineers in 1925 were named Bell Labs researchers as a separate entity. Bell Labs eventually moved to their Murray Hill location, and there has been some sort of showcase display in the current building since 1947.
A replica of Alexander Graham Bell’s first phone can be found here, as well the first transistor ever made on the fourth floor of the building you are standing in. Bell Labs through the years has been the recipient of Nobel Prizes, Academy Awards, and Grammy Awards, a few of which are on display here. If you are a fan of early motion picture production, cameras and microphones from the era can be viewed, as well as a 1920’s television.
Details about the digital age innovations of Claude Shannon can be enjoyed at The Information Theory panel. You can move at your leisure and read about what you are seeing. An original car phone, which first was used in 1946, can also be found here. Also, as you move through the showcase, glance up and you will see an original Telstar satellite.
The Nokia Bell Labs Technology Showcase is located at 600 Mountain Avenue in the Murray Hill area of New Providence. For more information about the showcase and the 100th anniversary of Bell Labs, visit https://www. nokia.com/bell-labs/100/.

There were dozens of giants among women pilots in the 1930s who showed skill and endurance equal to and better than many men. The most popular and the most controversial figure was Amelia Earhart. No history of women in aviation would be complete without her Earhart’s involvement. She lasted only 10 years, but she created a legend to which her death added an unsolved and mysterious element.
At twenty she had worked as a nurse in a Toronto, Canada hospital. There she developed a strong pacifist attitude. She left nursing after the war saying that only positive outcome of the war was the inevitability of flying.
By the time she started flying at the age of 23, she had developed strong convictions on the
independence of women in aviation, and an aversion to alcohol and believed that women’s place was not always in the home.
Researchers from Purdue University will join an Archaeological Legacy Institute expedition to the South Pacific this month. They will be investigating a visual anomaly in Nikumaroro Island’s lagoon that could be Amelia Earhart’s Lockheed Electra 10E aircraft piloted by Amelia Earhart during her attempt to circumnavigate the globe as the first female aviator.
Amelia Earhart was a pioneer in aviation whose achievements opened doors for women in flight and leadership. Earhart was a major figure in aviation, achieving key milestones and paving the way for future women in flight and leadership. Her legacy is often cited as an
Amelia’s Last Flight
example of perseverance and progress.
Earhart broke aviation records and challenged early views about women’s abilities, inspiring others to follow their goals regardless of gender or background. Her disappearance remains a well-known unsolved mystery in aviation, attracting ongoing interest from historians and the public.
The question of what happened to Earhart and her navigator Fred Noonan remains unresolved. Although technology has improved and several searches have been conducted, there is no definitive evidence regarding the aircraft or their last known position.
Earhart and Noonan’s aircraft disappeared over the Pacific on July 2, 1937, with no further contact. The absence of clear evidence continues
to fuel investigation and speculation.
Ongoing interest in Earhart’s disappearance has prompted multiple research efforts, including a current collaboration between Purdue University and the Archaeological Legacy Institute.
For almost ninety years, different theories have been proposed regarding the disappearance, but none have been conclusively validated.
Amelia Mary Earhart was born July 24, 1897; and disappeared July 2, 1937. She was declared dead January 5, 1939. She would have been forty . The search for Earhart and Noonan has engaged both professionals and amateurs internationally. New theories or search activities regularly renew interest in the case.
She accomplished several milestones, such
as being the first female pilot to complete a solo nonstop transatlantic flight, writing books on aviation, and contributing to the establishment of the NinetyNines, an organization for women pilots.
Amelia Earhart, originally from Atchison, Kansas, demonstrated an early interest in adventure and aviation. In 1928, she gained recognition as the first female passenger to cross the Atlantic by airplane. She further distinguished herself in 1932 by completing a nonstop solo transatlantic flight, for which she received the Distinguished Flying Cross. In 1935, Earhart joined Purdue University, serving as an advisor in aeronautical engineering and a counselor to female students. Committed to advancing women’s rights, she was actively involved with organizations such as
the National Woman’s Party and advocated for the Equal Rights Amendment. In 1937, Amelia Earhart and her navigator Fred Noonan disappeared near Howland Island in the central Pacific Ocean while attempting a worldwide flight aboard the Lockheed Model 10-E Electra. Their final confirmed stop was Lae, New Guinea. It is widely accepted that the aircraft likely exhausted its fuel supply prior to reaching Howland Island

and subsequently crashed in the vicinity. Her disappearance led to speculation and many tributes, including posthumous honors and memorials. Earhart has inspired films, documentaries, books, and is recognized as a prominent figure in aviation. But, she had a life before aviation.
In December 1917, Earhart volunteered as a nurse’s aide in Toronto after seeing World War I soldiers return and became interested in aviation through pilots’ stories. Her fascination grew after attending an air show in the early 1920s, leading her to consider flying herself. On December 28, 1920, after experiencing a passenger flight in Long Beach, California, she decided to start lessons with instructor Neta Snook. She completed twelve hours of instruction.
Throughout her life, Earhart was involved in celebrity culture and advocated for women’s rights; since her disappearance, she has remained a topic of international interest. Earhart was also among the early aviators to promote commercial air travel, authored books about her flying experiences.
Her involvement with aviation increased in the early 1920s after attending an air show in Toronto and observing a demonstration by a World War I pilot.
On December 28, 1920, after attending an aerial event in Long Beach, California, and taking a short passenger flight with Frank Hawks, Earhart began flying lessons. In the following month, she engaged Neta Snook as her instructor and completed twelve hours of instruction.
Earhart was born and raised in Atchison, Kansas, where she developed an interest in exploration from an early age and gradually accumulated flying experience during her twenties. In 1928, she came to public attention as the first female passenger to cross the Atlantic by airplane. In 1932, she became the first woman to complete a nonstop solo transatlantic flight. She
received the Distinguished Flying Cross for her achievement. In 1935, she joined Purdue University as a visiting faculty member, serving as an advisor in aeronautical engineering and a career counselor to female students. She was affiliated with the National Woman’s Party and supported the Equal Rights Amendment. Her career is often compared with those of early aviator Charles Lindbergh and First Lady Eleanor Roosevelt, reflecting her association and influence within women’s advocacy.
On March 17, 1937, Earhart and her navigator set out on the first leg of her round-the-world flight, but they abandoned this attempt after a non-fatal crash. On the second attempt, the propeller hubs’ variable pitch mechanisms had problems, so the aircraft was taken to the U.S. Navy’s Luke Field facility at Pearl Harbor to repair the damage.
The cause of the crash is not known; some witnesses at Luke Field, including an Associated Press journalist, said they saw a tire blow.
Three days after arriving at Luke Field, Earhart, Noonan, attempted to take off for Howland Island. During takeoff, the plane ground-looped, collapsing the landing gear. The exact cause is unclear; some witnesses reported a blown tire, while others cited pilot error. With the aircraft badly damaged, the attempt was abandoned, and the plane was shipped to Lockheed in California for repairs.
Earhart welcomes a new partne, publisher George Palmer Putnam (September 7, 1887 – January 4, 1950) an American publisher, writer, and explorer. Known for his marriage to (and being the widower of) Amelia Earhart, he also achieved fame as one of the most successful promoters in the United States during the 1930s.
A significant event in Putnam’s personal and business life occurred in 1928. Because of his reputation for working with
Lindbergh, he was contacted by Amy Phipps Guest, a wealthy American living in Londen who wanted to sponsor the first-ever flight by a woman across the Atlantic Ocean.
Guest asked Putnam to find a suitable candidate, and he eventually came up with the then-unknown aviator, Amelia Earhart. As it turned out, they shared many common interests: hiking, swimming, camping, riding, tennis and golf. After she completed her flight across the Atlantic, Putnam offered to help Earhart write a book about it, following the formula he had established with Lindbergh in the writing of “WE”. The resulting Earhart book was 20 Hrs. 40 Min. (1928).
The trip started out well, for 40 days and over 22,000 miles until the longest and most dangerous leg a 2,556 mile hop from Lae, New Guinea to Howland Island which was a one mile by two-mile strip of sand near the equator. To ensure her safety the US Navy had ships along the route with the radio latest radio device direction finding equipment. President Roosevelt ordered a massive 60,000 square mile area search costing over $4 million but failed to turn up the plane or the pilots.
On October 23rd, the US Navy declared
Noon and Earhart Noonan lost at sea. The subsequent investigation found that carelessness had led to the tragedy. Earhart had left emergency flares in a hangar and had removed some radio equipment to reduce the plane’s weight. In doing so, she had reduced the range of the equipment. The aircraft also lacked emergency portable radio equipment, and the official report said the combination was that the crew’s lack of expert knowledge in radio. No one appears to have told Earhart about another radio frequencies available, or the high frequency radio direction finding equipment on Howland Island.
Yet, her mysterious disappearance still generates speculation. Many rumors persist, the strongest being that she was a spy for the United States and executed by the Japanese because she had discovered the military buildup in the Pacific. While that rumor persists, it is unlikely since Earhart was an ardent pacifist and not trained in spy activities. As for spy equipment all she carried was a tourist type camera.
Let us say Earhart was a spy. It made more interesting reading then to say she and Noonan simply ran out of gas and were lost at sea.
National Fire Radio: Sharing the Stories That Keep the Fire Service Strong
By Megan Roche
Around every firehouse kitchen table, stories are told. They’re stories of long nights, close calls, lifelong friendships, and the kind of teamwork that defines the fire service. For Jeremy Donch, a New Jersey firefighter and entrepreneur, those stories were too important to stay within four walls. In 2018, he turned that idea into National Fire Radio, a podcast and media platform dedicated to capturing the heart of firefighting culture.
What began as a small side project quickly caught fire—figuratively speaking. Today, National Fire Radio has built a loyal following across the country, giving firefighters a place to share their experiences, learn from each other, and celebrate the traditions that make their profession so unique.
When Donch launched National Fire Radio, his goal was simple: to preserve the heritage and ca-maraderie that have always been the backbone of the fire service. With microphones set up and sto-ries to tell, he and his team began interviewing firefighters, chiefs, and instructors from across the nation.
“The mission has always been about passion for the job,” Donch has said in past interviews. “We want to remind people why they joined the fire service in the first place and keep that enthusiasm alive.”
Episodes of the National Fire Radio Podcast feature unfiltered conversations about everything from fireground tactics to leadership challenges and mental health. Guests speak candidly about their experiences—the highs, the heartbreaks, and the brotherhood that holds it all together. The show’s relaxed, conversational style makes listeners feel like they’ve pulled up a chair at the station kitchen table. What started as a podcast soon became much more. National Fire Radio expanded into YouTube, producing videos that
spotlight the tools, trucks, and training that firefighters rely on. Their “Appa-ratus Innovations” series, for example, takes viewers inside fire trucks from departments around the country, highlighting creative designs and practical modifications made by firefighters for fire-fighters.
On social media, the brand connects with thousands of followers daily, sharing short clips, motiva-tional posts, and glimpses into firehouse life. Donch and his team have also traveled to events and conferences nationwide, interviewing firefighters on location and helping departments share their stories with a broader audience.
Through it all, the focus remains the same—honoring tradition while embracing progress. “We want to educate, entertain, and inspire,” Donch says. “If a story helps one firefighter feel more connected to the job, then it’s worth telling.”
National Fire Radio’s success lies in its authenticity. In a time when the fire service continues to evolve with new technology and modern challenges, the platform keeps the focus on people—the men and women who put on the gear, answer the calls, and support one another through it all.
Donch believes preserving the culture of the fire service is just as important as mastering the latest equipment. “We can’t lose the kitchen table conversations,” he says. “That’s where you learn the most— not just about firefighting, but about life, teamwork, and humility.”
For many listeners, that message hits home. National Fire Radio has become a reminder of why firefighters do what they do and how the lessons of one generation can continue to guide the next.
Beyond the firehouse, National Fire Radio has built a bridge between firefighters and the commu-nities they serve. By offering an inside look at the dedication, humor, and humanity of the fire ser-vice, the platform helps the public see the faces behind the
HTV Media Transfer Service
• The local trusted media service since 1990
• Digitize your memories today...for tomorrow
• Tapes, Films, cassettes, photos, cell phone media preserved
helmets.
Local departments have even used the podcast and videos as training tools or morale boosters, playing episodes during downtime or using clips to spark discussions about leadership and com-munication. It’s storytelling with purpose—strengthening bonds within the ranks while helping residents understand what firefighting truly entails.
As National Fire Radio continues to grow, Donch and his team show no signs of slowing down. They’re developing new series, forming partnerships with fire service organizations, and exploring ways to reach even more listeners.
Yet no matter how big it gets, the mission remains rooted in that original idea: to celebrate the fire service, one story at a time.
“Every firefighter has something to share,” Donch says. “Whether you’ve been on the job for thirty years or three months, your story matters—and it deserves to be
heard.”
From its humble beginnings in a New Jersey firehouse to its widespread following across the country, National Fire Radio proves that the brotherhood of the fire service doesn’t end when the shift does. It lives on in the stories told, the lessons passed down, and the unwavering pride in a job unlike any other.

The Tuskegee Airmen: Breaking Barriers in American
By Henry M. Holden
In the United States in early 1940 most
Americans knew a world war was coming. In March 1941, the 99th Pursuit Squadron was activated. On June 4 of that year, six aviation cadets reported for specialized training in maintenance engineering and communications, forming the initial cadre of the Army Air Corps’ first all-Black pursuit squadron. During this period, racial segregation and Jim Crow laws remained prevalent in the United States.
This historic milestone marked a significant step forward for African Americans seeking to serve their country in military aviation roles. Despite facing systemic barriers and widespread discrimination, these pioneering cadets demonstrated exceptional resilience and determination, paving the way for future generations of Black military aviators.
Before the Tuskegee Airmen had fought and won their wings, a young black woman who wanted to be a pilot achieved her goal. As a black woman no flying school in the United States would accept Bessie Coleman as a student. Colman endured racial segregation, and two trips to Europe to become the first African American to be licensed by the Aeronautic International, on June 15, 1921.
Coleman like other early aviators had
several accidents. One was fatal. She was in the air about fifteen minutes. The plane suddenly went nose down in a power dive. Coleman, who had not been wearing a seat belt fell from the aircraft and died on impact on April 30, 1926. While the media called it pilot error, a carelessly tossed cigarette ignited the wreckage and destroyed any evidence as to what happened.
Unfortunately, most blacks did not pay much attention to Coleman’s death. Black leaders had been advocating for an end to discrimination in national defense as early as 1938. After nearly two years, the Army and the Navy changed their policies, though the Army Air Corps continued to exclude Black men and women.
In January 1941, a threatened lawsuit by the NAACP and support from Eleanor Roosevelt persuaded officials to reconsider. By April, plans were announced to establish an air unit. The 99th Pursuit Squadron, formed in 1943, joined the 33rd Fighter Group in North Africa.
In April, the War Department announced that it would establish an air unit at the Alabama Institute where black admin would be trained. Thus began the Tuskegee experiment. In July 1941 the first class designated to see, began with 12 cadets and one black officer, Captain Benjamin O. Davis Jr, a 1936 West point graduate.
Immediately after Pearl Harbor attack the ground Support cadets who had completed their training at Chanute or transferred to the Tuskegee Army Air Force base that have been constructed in less than five months. Nearly all 2,000 black pilots who fought and flew in World War II were graduates of Tuskegee.
Due to the Jim Crow Laws, all African Americans were segregated to Moton Field, and the Tuskegee Army Airfield close to Tuskegee, Alabama, hence their name came from the town.
Jim Crow refers to a system of state and local laws enacted in the late 19th and 20th centuries to enforce racial segregation and disenfranchise Black Americans. These laws mandated separate and by default unequal facilities for Black and white Americans in schools, public transportation, and nearly every other aspect of public life. The Jim Crow system was dismantled by the Civil Rights Act of 1964 and the Voting Rights Act of 1965.
The 99th Fighter commanded by Davis began flying stretching missions on June 2, 1943, in North Africa. Later they, were joined by three other group squadrons that were combined into the 32nd Fighter Group.
The February 1944, Tuskegee began operating in Italy. They played a vital role at Anzio where in aerial dog fight with Hitler’s master race pilots they shot down eight enemy airplanes in one day and 17 others over the course of the hard-fought invasion.
Later, the 332 Fighter Group earned a Distinguishing Unit Citation for, extraordinary bomber resort missions into Berlin.
The Tuskegee airmen earned a Distinguished Unit Citation for “Extraordinary Heroism” By wars-end 450 Tuskegee Airmen had accumulated 150 distinguished flying crosses and Legions of Merit. Sixty-six were killed in action and thirty-two others were shot down and held prisoners of war.
Calvin Spann flew twenty-six missions in the P-51 aircraft, on later a 1,700-mile flight from Italy to Berlin and back. It was the longest mission in the history of the 15th Strategic Air Force.
The Tuskegee Airmen were called Schwartz Vogelmenchen (Black Birdman) by their German enemies. Our B-17 and B-24 bomber crew reverently respected them and called them “The Black Redtail Angels.
In 2025, there were approximately 13 Tuskegee Airmen still alive.
Due to privacy laws a complete list of pilots and ground personnel is not available. This count was gleaned from open sources. At least 28 pilots hailed from New Jersey, and at least 20 ground personnel hailed from New Jersey, also.
Their skill and bravery earned them
respect, with the Red Tails developing a reputation for being expert bomber escorts who never lost a bomber they were assigned to protect. Beyond their combat achievements, they were instrumental in challenging racial barriers and helping to pave the way for the desegregation of the U.S. military, which President Truman ordered in 1948.
Airman Coleman Young (Second Lieutenant), later the first African American mayor of Detroit, told journalist Studs Terkel about the process:
“They made the standards so high; we actually became an elite group. We were screened and super-screened. We were unquestionably the brightest and most physically fit young Black people in the country. We were super-better because of the irrational laws of Jim Crow. You can’t bring that many intelligent young people together and train ‘em as fighting men and expect them to supinely roll over when you try to fuck over ‘em, right?”
Senator Charles Alfred Anderson, the first African American to earn his pilot’s license, became the first flight instructor when the Civilian Pilot Training Program (CPTP) was organized at Tuskegee Institute in October 1939. The army decided to model its training program on the CPTP and hired Anderson to teach the Tuskegee pilots.
When Eleanor Roosevelt (ER) visited Tuskegee Army Airfield in 1941, she insisted on taking a ride in an airplane with a black pilot at the controls. ER’s pilot was Charles Anderson. ER then insisted that her flight with Anderson be photographed and the film developed immediately so that she could take the photographs back to Washington when she left the field. ER used this photograph as part of her campaign to convince FDR to activate the participation of the Tuskegee Airmen in North Africa and in the European Theater.
In June 1943, the Tuskegee Airmen entered combat over North Africa. The airmen exemplified courage, skill and dedication in combat. They flew P-39-, P-40-, P-47- and P-51- type aircraft in more than 15,000 sorties, completing over 1,500 missions during the war. They never lost an escorted bomber to enemy fighters (a debate still goes on after more than 80 years later about this issue. No other escort unit could claim such a record. When the war ended, the Tuskegee Airmen returned home with 150 Distinguished Flying Crosses, Legions of Merit and the Red Star of Yugoslavia. The group was deactivated in May 1946, but its success added to the eventual integration of the United States military. The fruit of the efforts of the airmen would be harvested in the eventual 1948 desegregation of the U.S. Armed Forces.
