Morristown Teen Shines with the Sword
By Jason Cohen encing has taken Chase Emmer all over the globe. In April, the teen from Morristown will be representing his country in Poland. In fact, Emmer, 14, a freshman at Morristown High School, will be one of just three male foil fencers from the USA at the World Championship at the Cadet level in Torun, Poland. “Fencing has become a part of my life,” Emmer said. On Feb. 18, Emmer defeated James Liao in the semi-finals at the Junior Olympics in Denver, to clinch one of the three spots on the national team. Then in March, he participated in his first international senior event at the Absolute Fencing Gear FIE Grand Prix in Anaheim, Calif. After winning a bronze medal at a Division 1 men’s foil event at the North America Cup in Milwaukee, Wis., in October 2018, Emmer spent 125 days competing in eight national and international tournaments. “I didn’t think that fencing would take me this route,” he remarked. “It’s very cool how it’s taken me to all these places.” While Emmer began fencing at age 5, it

was something he never imagined himself doing. He recalled that he was playing sticks in the backyard with his cousin, Zander Rhodes, who is now 15, and she wanted to try fencing. So looking up to her, he decided to follow in her footsteps. “I just wanted to fool around and have
something to do after school,” he said. At that point in his life, he was focused on biking, skiing and taekwondo. Fencing never crossed his mind. However, after doing it a few times, he was hooked. “I just saw them playing with a sword and I thought it was pretty cool,” he said. continued on page 4

Morristown Teen Shines... continued from front page He is a member of V Fencing Club in Livingston and has had the same coach, Segre Vashkevich for many years. Through Vashkevich’s guidance, he has become a better fencer and learned how important good techniques are. “Serge is a funny guy and he’s also very relatable to me,” Emmer commented. “He’s fenced for the Ukraine on the same level I’m fencing for the U.S. now.” He started to recognize his talent a few years ago. At ages 10 and 12 he won the national championship and national pints. “When I was beating people who were older than I was, I was like oh I’m not just beating people my age,” he recalled. “I started to become

over his life, but his parents’ as well. His mom, Natalin Po and his dad, TJ Emmer, travel with him everywhere and are quite proud of their son. While they admitted it can be tiring, the
juice is worth the squeeze. “It’s taken us close to nine years to get to this level,” his mom said. “We would not be at this level if wasn’t for the support of the school district.”

and children, as well as shoes, handbags, jewelry, household goods and vintage items. They pride themselves on offering customers designer brands at affordable prices, including vintage Gucci, Tiffany, Jimmy Choo, and leather goods. The best part is that all sales benefit the Women’s Association for Morristown Medical Center, so shoppers can feel extra good about every purchase. Maggie Moffitt, the Store Manager explained that she works with “over 60 volunteers, who come in and make the place feel like home.” This past August, after over 30 years of being across from Atlantic Rehabilitation in Morristown, they decided to move and start a new chapter. It wasn’t a huge move, in fact they moved approximately five

miles down the road into Harding Township. The new shop has a more modern feel with tons of natural sunlight and includes two floors of retail space with larger dressing rooms. “It’s a totally different space with a much more open feel and it allows for more customer, volunteer interaction in a welcoming environment,” Moffitt exclaimed. “Since moving here, we have been busy every day, and the parking lot is always filled!” With their move came some fresh, new ideas. For example, Moffitt was excited to share that the Bargain Box has started carrying activewear, and it’s flying off the shelves. “Sales for activewear are surpassing denim in the U.S.,” Moffitt explained (And she’s continued on page 6

continued from page 5 right). According to an article published in 2018 by the Los Angeles Times, U.S. imports of women’s elastic knit pants have surpassed those of jeans for the first time, according to the U.S. Census Bureau. “We carry brands like Lululemon, and it never stays on the shelf for very long,” Moffitt added. Along with activewear and everyday clothing, The Bargain Box features some cool seasonal and themed sales, including Black Tie, Prom wear, and swimsuits for the warmer months, and back-to-school, Halloween, and of course Christmas for the colder ones. The holidays are the most popular time for them, but “Lilly and Tommy,” their Lilly Pulitzer and Tommy Bahama annual event, is a very close second. This year’s event will take place on June 3rd and will include all the bright colored florals both AL PROFESSION CARPET CLEANING
designers are known for. Locals also enjoy throwing Derby Day parties, and with the Kentucky Derby fast approaching in May, Moffitt plans on featuring some fabulous “Southern Belle” style hats. “We are so appreciative of customers who come here to support both sales and donations, we couldn’t do it without them,” Moffitt exclaimed. Many shoppers turn into donators, purchasing items for onetime events and coming back to re-donate them. Volunteers are also a pivotal part of the process, many of them traveling long distances to make a difference. “Many people have been volunteering for over 25 years, they tend to come on board and make lifelong friends.” The Bargain Box currently has a waiting list for volunteers, but don’t let this deter you from volunteering, because the Women’s Association for Mor-

compiled profiles for all 39 towns in Morris County “for marketing purposes as part of its continuing effort to bring new businesses and jobs to the county or help keep existing employers here.” Each four-page profile includes sections on demographics, land use, school district enrollment, housing, economic indicators, education and crime. Data was pulled from various sources, such as the U.S. Census, County Health Department and New Jersey Department of Community Affairs, according to the sheets. The sheets can be accessed by visiting www.planning. morriscountynj.gov/data and scrolling down to “Municipal Profile Sheets.” Countywide and statewide data was also compiled, to
allow residents and businesses to compare and contrast across Morris, as well as with the rest of New Jersey. Just a few of the key numbers reported include: Morris median housing price: $438,100 State’s median housing price: $321,100 Morris average residential property tax: $10,262 State average residential property tax: $8,960 Morris median household income: $107,034 State median household income: $76,475 Morris average commute length: 30.9 minutes State average commute length: 31.5 minutes Morris percentage of residents below poverty level: 4.6 continued on page 8

Get Ready to Help Spring Clean Morristown
V
By Kimberly Redmond olunteers are being sought to pitch in and help give Morristown a good spring cleaning later this month. On Sat. April 27, Morristown Beautiful, Inc. and Morristown Clean Communities will host a town-wide clean-up event, which is a longtime tradition in Morristown. In the event of heavy rain, the clean-up will be held on Sun. April 28. For more than 25 years, community members, young and old, have banded together to pick up trash that accumulated over the winter in parks, playgrounds, fields, parking lots and sidewalks around town. The beautification event,
which falls around Earth Day, typically draws hundreds of volunteers, eager to clean the town where they live, work and play. Volunteers run the gamut from scout troops to religious groups to businesses to families and everyone in between. Many of the volunteers target the areas they operate in as their cleaning assignments, and, in many cases, they wind up proposing additional projects to spruce up the area and make Morristown even more inviting, according to the initiative’s organizers. Kathleen O’Neill Margiotta, who helps coordinate the clean-up, said, “A few hours of your time will make a big difference in helping to make spring in Morristown beauti-
ful.” Over the last decade, New Jersey has seen a statewide decline in the amount of litter along streets and highways, according to a recent report from the New Jersey Clean
Communities Council. The study shows that towns and counties across New Jersey have implemented successful litter abatement projects since 2004, which is continued on page 12

Spring Clean... continued from page 10 a key factor in the state’s 53 percent reduction in roadside rubbish. The report also attributes the decrease to the Clean Community programs across New Jersey that have strengthened over the last decade, as well as volunteer clean-up efforts of public space and educational programming. Key findings of the report include, the largest amount of litter in New Jersey comes from vehicles and construction, accounting for 18.2 percent of debris. Paper was the second most thrown away piece of debris (14.8 percent), followed by beverage containers at 14.1 percent. Cups, lids and straws came in third (10.3 percent), followed
by bags and plastic wrap at 9.8 percent. Pedestrians and occupants of cars between the ages of 11 and 34 were most likely to intentionally toss trash out the window, accounting for nearly 70 percent of deliberate littering. With nearly 29 percent of littered items qualifying as recyclables (beverage containers, boxes and papers), the report stresses the importance of recycling education. If you go on April 27, volunteers should plan to meet at 9 a.m. in the Town Hall Parking Lot (200 South Street, Morristown). Advance registration is not required and light refreshments will be served. Volunteers will receive their work assignments that morning, but if a group would like to request a particular lo-
cation to clean, they can do so in advance by contacting Kathleen O’Neill Margiotta at 973644-4363 or k-margiotta@ townofmorristown.org. Volunteers should dress for performing a work detail and,
if possible bring their own gloves, rakes, shovels, brooms and other gardening gear. Bags for collecting garbage and recycling will be provided. All work assignments will be completed by 11:30 a.m.

Morristown High School Grads Launch ALS Scholarship in Memory of Classmate
A
By Kimberly Redmond s a tribute to their former classmate who died last fall following a battle with ALS, a group of Morristown High School graduates have launched an effort to create a scholarship in his name. After being diagnosed with ALS (Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis) in 2013, Patrick “Pat” Donaghy, Jr. fought for five years. ALS, also known as Lou Gerhig’s disease, slowly takes away muscular function, making everyday activities difficult and eventually impossible. Patrick worked for nearly 16 years as a licensed plumber/electrician before his diagnosis and was active in his community, serving on several municipal boards and even making a run for Dover City Council. He was also involved in the AA and NA active recovery communities, as well as pursued his passion for being a stand-up comic, according to his obitu-
ary. In the years to come, the community rallied around Patrick, a longtime Morris County resident, and his wife, Tikky, in support of the couple, including fundraisers to help them make their home and car handicap accessible. Friends are once again coming together, this time to pay tribute to Patrick, who died in November 2018 at age 49. A GoFundMe campaign, coordinated by members of the class of 1987, aims to raise money to create a scholarship for a Morristown High School student with medical needs to help offset some of the costs of college. On the fundraiser page, alumni wrote that while “some of us referred to him as a classmate, most of us called him a friend.” “Pat cared about everyone,” they added. Referring to Pat as their hero, they re-

ALS Scholarship... continued from page 14 “He turned around and encouraged us instead,” they wrote. “He married the love of his life, Tikky…[and] he would proudly tell people ‘She married me, despite my diagnosis” and would remain by his side throughout the victories and challenges. “Emulating the cliche ‘To know Pat was to love Pat,’ still falls short of his kind heart and warm nature. Not many can walk and leave this Earth where most, if not all, can say they loved them. Pat was rare, but he was never puffed up and one who was charismatic, empathetic, responsive, engaging and approachable. His level of love and compassion for those around him, forced us to check our own moral compasses, as he was True
North,” they wrote. The remainder of the funds raised will go to Patrick’s widow, Tikky. Proceeds were presented to Patrick’s family at a Celebration of Life event that took place in March. “When they learned that a scholarship would be awarded to a MHS student who has medical/health challenges themselves or an immediate family member where financial assistance would help them attend college, they were brought to tears,” organizers wrote. As of mid-March, $3,350 has been raised towards the campaign’s $5,000 goal. The fundraiser can be found by logging onto www.gofundme. com/PatDonaghy.

Climbing Beyond Cancer:
Randolph Climbing Center Hosts Fundraiser No. 17 Vol. 1 for Epic Experience
O
n the evening of Saturday December 15, Randolph Climbing Center (RCC) hosted an event Climbing Beyond Cancer to fundraise for the organization Epic Experience. Epic Experience provides free weeklong adventure ex-
periences to adults who have been diagnosed with canacer. “Most organizations that existed at the time when Epic Experience was founded focused on kids or young adults. Epic Experience is the only one who does adults and all stages of Cancer, both
those currently in treatment and survivors,” says Sabine Schwab, who organized the event. Schwab, 36, of Roxbury, was diagnosed with brain cancer in 2014 at age 32, shortly after giving birth to her daughter. Her tumor was about the size of a golf
ball. “I had open brain surgery, six weeks of daily radiation, and a year of chemotherapy,” says Schwab. She is a brain cancer survivor of almost five years now and devotes much of her time volunteering. “I have dedicated my life to the cancer community. I serve on various boards, and I’m a speaker and advocate in the brain tumor community,” says Schwab. Schwab a ttended an Epic Experience camp in May 2015. Schwab’s experience brought her white water rafting on the Colorado River, among other activities. “It’s not just the adventures that bring the healing,” says Schwab, “they also make time for group discussions with commonly shared fears and questions along the cancer journey.” Schwab joined the
Alumni Board of Epic Experience as an Outreach Specialist in June 2015. In 2017, she became the Alumni Team lead, and in 2018 joined the Board of Directors. Schwab enjoys climbing at Randolph Climbing Center and thought it would be the perfect place to fundraise for Epic

ike Wolfe, Frank Fritz, and their team are excited to return to New Jersey! They plan to film episodes of the hit series American Pickers throughout your area in May.

They are always excited to find sizeable, unique collections and learn the interesting stories behind them. As they hit the back roads from coast to coast, Mike and Frank are on a mission to recycle and rescue forgotten relics. Along the way, the Pickers want to meet characters with remarkable and exceptional items. The pair hopes to give historically significant objects a new lease on life, while learning a thing or two about America’s past along the way. Mike and Frank have seen a lot of rusty
