Millburn Family Takes On Steve Harvey Show With Intriguing Invention

By Anya Bochman fter Carly DrumO’Neill’s third child was born, the family decided to take a vacation. In short order, O’Neill and her husband, Michael, of Millburn, realized that their large amount

of luggage would make packing and transportation a problem. “I literally turned to my husband and said, ‘I think we need to take two cars,’” O’Neill said. “I realized there had to be a better way.”

That “better way” turned out to be their ingenious creation named,” BuddyBagz, an all-in-one sleeping bag, pillow and overnight bag that fits three days’ worth of clothes, all in a compact roll, topped by a stuffed animal head that functions as a detachable toy for children. The pillow and overnight bag attach to the sleeping bag with Velcro. Once secured, the sleeping bag is rolled around the interior bag. With backpack straps added for easier transportation as well as a nightlight and a secret compartment in the animal head for objects like a phone,“BuddyBagz, proved to be a creative solution to the O’Neills’ packing woes. Through the family’s website and social media presence, the invention attracted the attention of several casting directors of daytime shows last summer, including a new Steve Harvey seed-funding vehicle, titled “Funderdome.” The show airs on Sundays this summer on ABC. Branded as a “competition reality series where two budding entrepreneurs go head-to-head to win over a live studio audience to fund their ideas, products or companies,” the series appealed to O’Neill and her

children. “Our family loves Steve Harvey,” O’Neill said. “And the kids loved the experience.” On the show, the audience represents a customer who votes to determine the winner. In successive rounds, before Harvey reveals the crowd’s vote, the entrepreneurs are allowed to “cash out” and leave with a smaller amount of money. In doing so, they potentially lose the chance to win the entire cash prize. The O’Neill family episode of the show will air Sun., Aug. 20, at 9 p.m. O’Neill and her two daughters, Taylor and Keira, were

brimming with enthusiasm as they described the experience of pitching their product in front of a huge studio audience. “It was totally devoted to the product,” Taylor, 8, said, while adding that the noise and screams of “push the button!” from the audience were overwhelming, but exciting. The children are, after all, an integral part of BuddyBagz. The line currently has eight designs. A number of them – like Cupcake Buddy and Baseball Buddy – are named after the O’Neill kids. The children also deliver the bags to hospitals, and O’Neill de-

scribes their friends as her “focus group.” “Because we’re so new, we try to work organically,” O’Neill said. “My family truly believes in that.” Through family friends who had a small child diagnosed with leukemia, O’Neill recognized the potential for BuddyBagz, to serve another purpose. They could be of help to children with cancer and blood disorders, who frequently have to pack their belongings for hospital stays. Kids in foster care could benefit, as well. Therefore, 15 percent of the sale proceeds are donated continued on page 2

Millburn High’s Grossman Receives Wendy’s Heisman Award

By Stefanie Sears hings are running quite smoothly for Matthew Grossman, thanks to his hard work. A recent Millburn High School graduate and track runner, Matthew Grossman received the Wendy’s High School Heisman Award in June, an honor given for high school accomplishments in both academics and athletics. The award was created by Wendy’s founder Dave Thomas in 1994. “My guidance counselor, Mr. Fritchman, thought it would be a good opportunity to get some recognition for my achievements,” says Grossman about his decision to apply, “I had a form to fill out and a few essays to write for it.”

is extremely unusual and a worthy recipient of the Wendy’s Heisman Award. Indeed, he may be the only Athlete of the Year in MHS history that graduated with the highest GPA (valedic-

torian). On top of that, his personal qualities are stellar and, even entering 9th grade, he was recommended by our middle school to be on (liaison) committees with administrators. If

maintaining his academics and training wasn’t enough, Matt still found time to compete (and win) with our Physics Team. We may have provided Matt with continued on page 3

A ceremony, held by the Essex County Board of Chosen Freeholders, took place on June 21 at the Caldwell Town Hall. “My guidance counselor and some of my teachers were there when I received the award,’’ Grossman said. “It felt great to get the rec-

ognition, and I felt proud of what I had accomplished.” Millburn High School Principal Dr. William Miron expressed pride in Grossman’s accomplishment. “We are very proud of Matt Grossman and fortunate that he was one of our students,’’ he said. “He

to the Valerie Fund, which provides care to more than 6,000 children each year in New Jersey, New York and the Philadelphia area. In addition, for every 25 BuddyBagz ordered through the official website, the family will donate one bag to a child in need. Audiences will find out whether the O’Neills won the ultimate prize on “Funderdome” when the episode airs in August. Regardless of the outcome, both Tay-

was in the product and the pitching process – as well as making them forget they were in front of such a large audience. In the future, the O’Neill family hopes to turn to the tween demographic. Tweaks to the design would include a hood instead of a stuffed animal head,and a phone charger instead of a nightlight. “It really creates independence in them,” O’Neill said.

lor and Keira agree that the experience was “fun,” and Steve Harvey was an excellent host to work with. “He was really fun, always finding a joke and asking you questions,” Taylor said. “He was very supportive of our product and fun to be around,” added Keira, 6. For O’Neill, one of Harvey’s main attributes was his ability to make the children understand how crucial their involvement

Grossman Receives Award... continued from page 2 opportunities, but it was his determination and focus that achieved it all.” Grossman’s favorite school subject is math, he says, because he appreciates trying different methods to solve problems. He’s been running track since middle school, for about seven years in total. Having run track all four years of high school, Grossman received a varsity letter for all three seasons of running each year, which includes cross-country in the fall, indoor track in the winter, and outdoor track in the spring. Out of all three, he said he prefers cross-country. “It has more of a team aspect than the others, because you can advance to different meets as a team,” he said. Grossman completed his career as a high school runner averaging about 60 miles of running a week during his final two years. “Usually, one longer run a week and two faster ones,” he explained. “I try to focus on other things the night before a race, like listening to music or reading a book. Nothing too special healthwise. I do try to make sure I have lots of fruits and

vegetables in addition to my usual meals.” For fun, he hangs out with friends, watches Netflix, reads or rides his bike. “My parents inspire me by working hard to balance family life and work,” he said. Grossman said one positive of running track is the camaraderie he has formed with his teammates. A challenge, however, is timing. “Some of the positives are the excitement I get from competing and doing well and the friendships I made with my teammates,’’ he said. “It also forced me to stay on top of my schoolwork. One negative would be that it can be time consuming, and waking up early on the weekends to run isn’t pleasant.” In June of his junior year, he experienced what was probably his favorite race. “I won the 3200-meter state championships,” said Grossman, “I was in contention to do well beforehand, but I wasn’t sure I could pull off the win. But, I felt great during the race and really pushed through and ended up winning right at the end.” Grossman has earned

several titles for his track running throughout the years. In 2015, he was named Cross Country Group, Sectional, and County Champion; Cross Country Footlocker Nationals Qualifier; Outdoor and Indoor Track Sectional Champion; and Indoor County Champion. In 2016, he was the winner of the Outdoor Meet of Champions in the 3,200 meter run, the Outdoor Group Champion in the 3,200 meter run; Cross Country, Indoor and Outdoor Sectional Champion; Cross Country and Outdoor County Champion; a Cross Country Footlocker Nationals Qualifier; Outdoor All-American in 5K; and, finally, in 2017, Outdoor Group 4 Champion in the 3,200 meter run; Indoor All-American in 5K; Indoor and Outdoor Sectional Champion in the 3,200 meter run and Outdoor County Champion in the 3,200 meter run. In the fall, Grossman will attend Princeton University, where he plans to major in engineering. “I really want to help contribute to the Princeton track team,’’ he said. “I also want to do well in my classes. ”

By Ben Bograd he hallway outside Millburn High School’s guidance offices is lined by a long glass case. This case houses the trophies and medals commemorating the successes of Millburn’s academic teams and individuals. Space will need to be made for the achievements of the school’s hottest new team, Vex Robotics. In only its third year as a club, the MHS Vex Robotics team won the state championship, punching its ticket to the World Championships in Louisville, Ky. In April, they competed there against teams from around the world. Despite the steep competition, Millburn made it all the way to the quarterfinals of a division with roughly 90 teams. MHS Vex captain, senior Filip Cakulev, was awed by the opportunity and remarked on how difficult it was to face teams with such unique backgrounds and perspectives. He said, “The matches themselves were all so tense with different countries and states bringing different strategies and de-

signs meaning you didn’t always know what you were up against.” Kush Shah, a junior, mentioned his excitement about the tournament. “The VEX world championships was one of the greatest experiences,” said Shah. “It was as though comic con had collided with robotics. I had never been surrounded by so many people who had the exact same interests as I had. And with it being the culmination of every team’s season, everyone was really happy and excited to be there.” Millburn’s objective through the competitions was to construct a robot capable of tossing foam blocks over a wall. In each two minute match, they strove to finish with more blocks on the other team’s side than remained on their own. Points were also given for distance throws. While the robots were primarily controlled by a designated driver, another portion of the competition required the robots to accomplish the task autonomously. Though the objective seems simple, creation of the bot was anything but.

The team scrapped 10 different prototypes of the robot. As Shah explained, even the most minute details required days of work. “What seems like a relatively simple mechanism takes multiple days to construct,” said Shah. “It may be that we’re missing a bearing here or a shaft collar there or need to change spacing. We sometimes end up taking it apart multiple times, but that is simply part of the engineering process.” The boys worked 24/7 to perfect their work. Hours after school, when only the janitors and a few straggling students and teachers remained, rooms 47 and 108, the Robotics rooms, remained alive with work. The team of eight boys worked tirelessly, often staying two or three hours after school to perfect the robot. After the robot was constructed, a group of coders would write code tailored to the precise measurements and calculations conducted on the robot. Often, the team tried countless methods and values, guessing-and-checking until the robot worked.

After years at Millburn’s helm as principal, Dr. Willaim Miron, knows what it takes for a club to succeed; in an effort to keep the club grounded, he only allows cautious optimism, noting the similarities between the Vex team and successful school groups of the past. “I can want whatever I

want, but if there’s no student interest, it’s not going anywhere,” Miron said. “But if you have a half dozen students who are really enthusiastic about something, it can go places with some support. Things I now take for granted, our best initiatives, came from a few people who just were

excited about something.” In just three short years, the Millburn Vex Robotics team has exceeded all expectations as a competitive opportunity for STEM-centric students. Coding and constructing their way to the top, Millburn’s Vex Robotics team will be a success for years to come.

Non Profit Accepting Monetary Support And New Donations For Care Packages

By Cheryl Conway ontinued support from the community has helped to save this non-profit organization in providing services to victims of sexual assault for more than a dozen years. SAVE, a non-profit program founded through the Family Service League counseling agency, provides comprehensive services to victims and their families of sexual assault. Established in 2004, SAVE was formerly called the Essex County Rape Care Center. Through financial support and donations from the community, SAVE has been able to maintain its services such as its 24-hour

emergency hotline, emotional support, counseling services, prevention education presentations and rape care packages to victims. Kearny Bank in Caldwell is collecting items for SAVE during the months of August and September in its office. Items can be dropped off at 417 Bloomfield Avenue, Caldwell. Call 973-226-7911 for more information. SAVE is in the need of new items in the sizes of large and extra-large. Sweat pants, sweat shirts, women’s cotton underwear, socks, deodorant, feminine products, tooth brushes, tooth paste, bottles of water and granola bars are in greatest need. “When we go to hospi-

tals we bring with us a rape care package,” says Christine Ferro-Saxon, executive director of SAVE, mostly to provide change of clothes and necessities for the victim “so they can wash up.” It is customary for the police to collect all the clothing worn by the victim after an incident and the victim is told “not to brush their teeth. To wash up is the worst thing you could do.” As a member of the Essex County Sexual Assault Team, SAVE provides comprehensive services to victims. Other members of that team include Confidential Sexual Violence Advocates, law enforcement and forensic nurse examiners. “We come from start to finish,” says Ferro-Saxon.

When a victim goes to one of the four sexual assault regional team hospitals, which include St. Barnabas in Livingston, University Hospital in Newark and Newark Beth

Israel Medical Center of Mountainside Hospital in Montclair, “the team is activated,” says Ferro-Saxon. “We are the emotional support for the team during that process,” says Fer-

ro-Saxon. “We accompany victims through the evidence collection process at several area hospitals. We go with them,” to the police department to make a recontinued on page 6

continued from page 5 port, “then they are referred back to us in Montclair for counseling services. We are there from the start then they come back.” SAVE also operates a 24-hour emergency hotline from callers who are anonymous to talk to a trained advocate to get information and emotional support. “We recommend people call to get their options as soon as possible,” says Ferro-Saxon. “It’s confidential; they don’t have to give their name. They can call us anonymously and ask questions.” Bilingual advocates and therapists are provided. Calls are received, not only from victims of sexual assault, but from professionals such as nurses, college personnel and police officials seeking more

information on victims or resources, she adds. SAVE also serves as an outreach resource to the community providing prevention education work at schools, colleges and community centers. “We customize presentations to age groups,” says Ferro-Saxon, covering topics such as healthy relationships and dating, to “educate young people to minimize the victims of rape.” According to Ferro-Saxon, “We are the only program in the county that services survivors of sexual assault.” Before SAVE came into play, a Safe And Sound Program was offered through University Hospital, says Ferro-Saxon, but services were not as comprehensive.

“Every county in New Jersey has a rape care center,” she says. “Essex was the last one to have a program. Essex has one of the highest rates of sexual assaults. Family Service League saw it was necessary to fill that gap.” In 2016, SAVE handled 165 sexual assault team accounts; 1,157 counseling sessions by those sexually assaulted and significant others affected by the assault; and 3,122 were received by the hotline, she says. While the majority of SAVE’s clients are from Essex County, the organization does provide counseling services to anybody, says Ferro-Saxon, a trained therapist with SAVE since 2008.

tion services, SAVE deals with victims aged 13 and above, both male and female. Most do fall between the ages of 18-24, she adds. Even though SAVE does receive funding from the state and county, as well as some private resources and grants, Ferro-Saxon says monies are limited. “Every year we are at the mercy of state and federal budgets,” she says. “We rely on community support. We need more community funding and support.” The organization has held some smaller campaigns and relies on some local businesses to collect items for the Rape Care packages and kits. “Unrestricted funding is our biggest need,” she says. Grants are earmarked for specific needs like a bilingual counselor. What

SAVE needs is “more funding to pay for administrative roles,” and capacity building of the program. “We are working with such a small pot; many are wearing many hats; we have multiple layers,” with staff needing to be available on weekends, holidays and the middle of the night. SAVE does rely on volunteer advocates, who do receive a stipend, as well. Advocates must be 21 and older, complete 40-hours of training, and are able to handle this line of work. “It’s difficult volunteering,” she says. Volunteers “need to be able to tolerate the emotional part and medical part; have to be willing to go into hospitals in the middle of the night. There’s a lot of emotional burnout in this job. They see or smell something be-

yond what they can comprehend. We understand this is not easy work.” Financial donations are being received via the website at familyserviceleague. org; mailed to 60 South Fullerton Ave., Suite 109, Montclair, N.J., 07042; call 973-746-0800 to have donations picked up. For emergency hotline, call 1-877-733-2273. “Our goal is to encourage people to seek help regardless of how long the assault happened. We want to advise people where they could go. We have people from all over the county. This could happen in your backyard but there is help if it does.” SAVE received an award by the North Essex Chamber of Commerce on June 8 as the 2017 Outstanding Non-profit Organization.

Rolling Thunder Provides Awareness And Helps Veterans In Need

By R.E. Wagner end them home! We will not forget!” This is just a handful of statements rising above the steady rumble of passing motorcycles during the demonstrations, community events and charity drives organized across the country by the non-profit organization known as Rolling Thunder. In 1987, former United States Marine Corps Corporal Ray Manzo, U.S. Army Sergeant Major John Holland, Marine First Sergeant Walt Sides, and Sergeant Ted Sampley had lunch together at a diner in Somerville. They were meeting to discuss an unsettling issue that they, as servicemen, felt wasn’t being acknowledged enough in certain military circles. By the end

“

of the meeting, they parted ways with a mission in mind: to bring full accountability for the ‘Prisoners Of War’ and ‘Missing In Action (MIA)’ of all U.S. wars. For Diane Malanga, the secretary of Rolling Thunder’s 3rd Chapter in New Jersey and an official member for almost a decade, Rolling Thunder’s goal hit close to a place close to her heart. “They were deeply troubled knowing these men and women were forgotten,” explained Malanga, “thinking of their families who have not had a chance to have closure. My father served in World War II and Korea and my son just left for boot camp.” Since World War II, more than 83,000 MIA cases have remained unresolved within military files.

An MIA is a casualty classification assigned to combatants and prisoners of war (POW) who are reported missing during wartime. They may have been killed, wounded or captured. If deceased, neither their remains nor grave site have been positively identified. For these four veterans, 83,000 unaccounted soldiers left overseas on distant battlefields was an outrage. “They said we have to take a stand and do something to raise awareness,” Malanga continued. On May 29, 1988, Corporal Manzo recruited 2,500 men and women from all over the nation to attend Rolling Thunder’s first public event held in Washington D.C. There, they assembled peacefully in the parking lot of the Pentagon and rode through

the Capital on a predetermined route that led them to the Lincoln Memorial. Since then, Rolling Thunder has grown into an established national organization. During their most recent rally in 2017, almost

a million people attended to show their patriotism. And with approximately 10,000 active members spread out across the country among 94 chapters in 33 states, Rolling Thunder has no plans on slowing down.

The non-profit’s rosters are filled not only with veterans and active duty military personal, but their families, friends and those who seek to honor the soldiers who never made it home. continued on page 11

Rolling Thunder... continued from page 10 In New Jersey alone, there are four Rolling Thunder chapters consisting of hundreds of members. The Garden State is also home to Rolling Thunder’s National Headquarters located in Lebanon. “I joined the chapter three in 2008,” Malanga said, before sharing her fond memory of her first event with Rolling Thunder at the Community Living Center in Lyons. “There were snacks and karaoke, the veterans just loved it. The music, the visit, was so awesome for them.” Malanga reminisced, “One of the most rewarding parts of being a member is making the difference for a veteran. I was hooked from that moment.” In addition to raising

awareness of their mission statement to bring home missing soldiers, Rolling Thunder Chapters across the nation provide financial support to help veterans in need. “At times our aging veterans struggle to pay bills,” Malanga explained. “We help with money to pay for heating and have also helped many Veterans with rent or mortgage payments. Last year, Chapter Three raised approx. $24,000 through various events, rides, personal donations and fundraising.” Through charitable donations, as well as organizing community events for service men and women, Rolling Thunder Chapters are known to host events at hospitals and nursing homes like picnics and piz-

za parties for Veterans. An annual program known as Christmas Families is held where New Jersey Rolling Thunder Chapter members provide gift cards from Shoprite, Walmart and Toy- R-Us to help Veterans during the holidays. Although primarily known for their roaring motorcades and biker persona, Rolling Thunder encourages anyone with a passion to pay respects to service men and women to volunteer their time or donating to the cause. Interested in donating or volunteering? Contact a local Rolling Thunder Chapter to learn more, or write to the National Headquarters located in Lebanon at P.O. Box 216 Neshanic Station, N.J., 08853.

Frutta Bowls Grand Opening In Livingston Offers Freshest Picks Around

By Cheryl Conway he choices may be endless, but no matter the picking, the fruits and veggies offered at Frutta Bowls in Livingston will delight the palate and nourish the body. The health- crave of eating fruits and vegetables in a bowl is spreading in New Jersey and throughout the country. Frutta Bowls just opened up on S. Livingston Ave. in Livingston on June 12, where the former location of Rita’s Ices was located. A franchise operation, Frutta Bowls in Livingston is the sixth store to open in N.J. Owners Gionna Marotta of Caldwell, a graduate of James Caldwell High School, and Morgan Mason

of Cranford are no strangers to working as a team. The pair worked hand-inhand on Drew University’s women’s lacrosse team in Madison before graduating in 2017. “The newest craze of bright fruit bowls mixed with creative fruit combinations has hit Essex County- Livingston,” the owners announce. “These delicious acai, pitaya, and kale bowls that are healthy and Instagram worthy, are bringing happiness and positive vibes to each and every customer.” Mason and Marotta “are top collegiate athletes that have trained hard and believe in living a healthy lifestyle,” they say. “Both are committed to create

a fantastic experience for their customers and love helping others in their community.” Their idea to enter the arena of entrepreneurship stems from another one of their teammates, Brooke Gagliano of Freehold, the founder of Frutta Bowls who opened the first store in Howell. As stated on its website, “When our founder, Brooke Gagliano, first tried acai berry pure, she was floored. Brooke is an extremely driven person who had endeavored and succeeded in becoming a top collegiate athlete by training hard and living a healthy lifestyle. But that healthy life style was not always filled with pleasant tastes. After college, Brooke was searching for what she could do in life to meld what she had committed most of her life towards and a career. After trying acai for the first time on a vacation, she immediately began to incorporate it into her daily meals at home and from there Frutta Bowls was born.” At the age of 22, Marotta and Mason were inspired to follow in Gagliano’s path and become franchisee partners. With Mason’s major in economics and Marotta’s major in business studies, these two women have the perfect recipe for success in their business. On top of that, their product is not only tasty but fresh and so healthy. Frutta Bowls specializes in acai, pitaya and kale bowls along with oatmeal bowls and a plethora of smoothie options. Its most popular bowls are the

Frutella Bowl and Frutta Bowl. The Frutella Bowl is made with an acai base, granola, banana, strawberry, Nutella, peanut butter and coconut flakes. The Frutta Bowl is made with an acai base, granola, strawberry, kiwi, pineapple, Nutella, peanut butter, honey and coconut flakes. Served in plastic 16 oz. bowls, customers can choose from a menu, priced at $6.99 to $10.79, or even build their own bowl starting at $9.99. Frutta Bowls offers in house seating; order ahead service that allows customers to call in an order and skip the line; special platters; and catering options. “Our store has an industrial open concept with a lot

of seating to allow for large groups of people to be comfortable,” says Mason. Open from 9 a.m.- 9 p.m., Frutta bowls has options for every meal of the day or can be a healthy snack. For those with allergies or preferred diets, Frutta Bowls offers any allergy, gluten free, vegan and nut free options. “Our motto is clean and fresh and that is exactly what you get when you come to Frutta Bowls,” says Mason. “Our fruit and bowls are cut and blended fresh each day. Our goal is to cater to every customer and make the individual feel right at home.” No need to count calories. “A bowl or a smoothie is

what you make of it!” says Mason. “After all it’s just fruit and vegetables. Our product offers a healthy alternative to the normal meal; it is also a fun way to get your daily fruits and vegetables into your diet. We also take pride in making our product look as good as it tastes, so Instagram it and follow us @ fruttabowls_livingston to see our Fruttiful bowls.” Frutta Bowls is on target to grow to more than 70 locations around the country to open by early 2018. Frutta Bowls is located at 142 S. Livingston Ave., Livingston. Call 973-9921328. For menu options, visit www.fruttabowls. com; Livingston@fruttabowls.com.

uilding an outdoor kitchen is a significant investment that can be rewarding for years to come. It’s important to take advantage of nice days and temperate seasons as much as possible, no matter in which part of the country you live. However, with proper planning and preparation, you can fully maximize the enjoyment of your outdoor kitchen all year long, even when temperatures drop. There are ways to do it, and many homeowners are catching on. In fact, a majority of grill and smoker owners (61 percent) enjoy grilling year-round, according to the Hearth Patio and Barbecue Association. These tips and ideas for design and entertaining from Russ Faulk, chief designer and head of product at Kalamazoo Outdoor Gourmet, can help you make the most of your outdoor kitchen throughout the cooler fall and winter seasons. Fall: Keep the grill fired up Weekends are everything in the fall. Kids are back in school, football games are in full swing and everyone is trying to extend grilling season with one last barbecue. Rather than hanging in a parking lot for the big game, throw a “home-gate” party in your outdoor kitchen. Many homeowners are outfitting their spaces with outdoor TVs and speaker systems that rival watching at popular neighborhood pubs. All you need to decide is what will be on the menu. Autumn is all about

Enjoy Your Outdoor Kitchen All Year Long smoky wood fires, so try capturing that atmosphere by grilling over a large wood-fired grill, such as an Argentine-style grill. You can impress your guests with all of the flavors you can only achieve with a wood fire. Remember temperatures can fluctuate from cool to hot in the fall, so make sure you have portable shade for when you want to stay cool and stowed for when you need to warm up. In terms of maintenance, sink covers offer much-needed protection against seeds, petals and falling leaves. Winter: No need to hibernate November officially kicks off the holiday season. Your holiday get-togethers can stand out from the pack by bringing outside flavors into the warm comfort of your home. The intense flavor of slow-roasted meats is the perfect pairing with wintertime. Also known as indirect grilling, food is placed in an area without fire below it and cooking is done with the grill hood closed. Add the flavor of a wood fire for “smoke roasting.” This is a perfect way to prepare a beef or pork roast for the holidays. Purpose-built smokers, such as Kalamazoo’s Smoker Cabinet that uses a gravity-fed charcoal fire for heat, are ideal for smoking the Thanksgiving turkey. This also frees up your indoor oven for other holiday dishes. Be the hero of the holiday party by surprising your guests with delicious, slow-cooked brisket or roasted ham, but keep your

outdoor grill or smoker conveniently located adjacent to your indoor kitchen and within close proximity to the back door for quick, easy access, reducing your time out in the cold. With shorter days, you’ll

need to consider lighting. Make sure you have plenty of task lighting to not only see your food on the grill, but also transport it back inside when it’s done cooking. Infrared space heaters

go a long way toward making winter grilling more comfortable. One of the last things you want is a delay for the big meal because you’re simply not warm enough to cook effectively. Instead of allowing

your outdoor kitchen to go unused during the cooler months, take steps to make it useful year-round. Find more outdoor entertaining ideas and tips at KalamazooGourmet.com.

Did You Know?

elenium is a trace mineral that can be very potent in cancer prevention. According to Susan G. Komen, selenium helps antioxidants work more effectively and may reduce cancer incidence as a result. Selenium also may kill cancer cells and help normal cells repair their DNA. According to a Harvard study of more than 1,000 men with prostate cancer, those with the highest levels of selenium in their blood were 40 percent less likely to develop advanced dis-

ease over the next 10-plus years than men with the lowest levels of selenium in their blood. In addition, data from a five-year study from researchers at Cornell University discovered 200 micrograms of selenium per day resulted in 63 percent fewer prostate tumors and a 39 percent overall decrease in cancer deaths, among other benefits. Selenium is found in Brazil nuts, yellowfin tuna, halibut, sardines, and many other foods.

new nonprofit has started a campaign to get individuals to paint their faces blue for autism. Spectrum Works, a nonprofit that provides job training and employment to individuals with autism, announced that 80 percent of autistic people are unemployed. It has set out to change this statistic with a new campaign, #GoSpectrumBlue. The blue face challenge was created by Spectrum Works to spread the word that people with autism can be great employees and to directly create jobs for individuals with autism. The challenge consists

of painting faces blue, sharing a photo and the challenge message on social media or via email, and challenging friends to #GoSpectrumBlue too. Paint kits are for sale at www.gospectrumblue.com. Ann Marie Sullivan, founder and CEO of spectrum Works said “The challenge goes beyond just spreading a message. Young adults with autism are actually a part of this campaign in concrete ways. Not only do all profits from the sale of paint kits provide jobs and job training for individuals with autism, but our trainees are also helping with graphic design, order fulfillment,

and other logistics of the #GoSpectrumBlue challenge.” Participating gives people the opportunity to join the movement and help Spectrum Works spread the word that people with autism can be great employees. Participants are encouraged to pass the challenge along to friends by sending them their own face paint kit. Paint kits are for sale at www.gospectrumblue.com for $10 and can be mailed directly to friends at no extra cost. Spectrum Works’ initial goal is to sell 10,000 #GoSpectrumBlue Paint Kits.

Online Exhibit Delves Into Sound Technology

he National Park Service has announced the release of an online exhibit and videos that explore the beginnings of recorded sound technology. The web presentation, titled “The Origins of Sound Recording,” is available at www.nps.gov/ edis/learn/historyculture/ origins-of-sound-recording.htm. Recent research calls attention to the work of French inventor Édouard-Léon Scott de Martinville. Scott’s phonautograph, patented in France in 1857, graph-

ically inscribed airborne sounds over time onto a permanent medium. As such, it was the earliest sound recording device. Twenty years later, Thomas Edison independently re-invented sound recording in the form of the phonograph – the first device to both record and reproduce, or play back, sound. The web exhibit, authored by researcher David Giovannoni, contextualizes and compares the innovations of Scott and Edison. It also explains the role of Charles Cros, a visionary Frenchman who

conceptualized sound reproduction just weeks before Edison. While both Scott and Cros clearly anticipated a number of essential elements of Edison’s phonograph, historical evidence indicates that Edison conceived of sound recording without prior knowledge of their work. A physical version of the exhibit, which includes a full-scale replica 1859 Scott phonautograph, is on display at Thomas Edison National Historical Park in West Orange this summer through Aug. 27.

Morris County’s National Memorial Trail Unveiled

he unveiling of the first trail blazes on the new September 11th National Memorial Trail, a 1,300-mile Morris County tribute to first responders and victims of the 9/11 attacks, was held last month in Randolph in memory of the county’s 63 victims in the 2001 attacks. Officials of the September 11th National Memorial Trail Alliance, in conjunction with the Morris County Park Commission, held a ceremony to show off the new blazes on a section of Morris County’s Patriot’s Path, which serves as part of the route of the national trail. Congressman Rodney Frelinghuysen, Morris County Freeholder Director Doug Cabana, Park Com-

Roofing

mission President Betty Cass-Schmidt, Randolph Mayor Christine Carey and Sheriff James Gannon were among the dignitaries who participated in the event. “Our vision for both this alliance and the memorial trail is to unite fellow Americans, trail enthusiasts, organizations, and the families of those lost in the attacks, and work together to make this a reality,” said Andy Hamilton, president of the September 11th National Memorial Trail Alliance. “The trail is shaped as a triangle to forever connect these locations, and serves as a symbol of resiliency and character,” said David Brickley, founder and president emeritus of the September 11th National Me-

morial Trail Alliance. Beginning in 2004, the September 11th National Memorial Trail Alliance was formed to establish a memorial trail that links both the planned and existing memorial sites dedicated to September 11th, including the World Trade Center, Pentagon, and Flight 93 Memorial. The board currently consists of 12 members, each with their own unique tie to the cause. In addition to linking the three national memorials, the continuous trail also passes through more than 50 landmarks, such as the Eastern Continental Divide, Delaware Water Gap, and Morristown National Historical Park. It is accessible to automobiles, hikers and bikers.
