recognized as the top EMT in the nation as I work with many great practitioners and know that there are many more across the country who do great work,” Houser said. “We had a past captain win the same award seven years ago, so to be on a similar level with him is an honor due to all the work he did for our organization and EMS in the state.” Nominees for the Paramedic and EMT of the Year Awards are scored on how the nominee

Breast cancer survivors and local community members will unite to share a day of fitness as they raise funds for breast cancer research and local programs at Retro Fitness in Florham Park on Sunday, October 1, Noon to 2:00 p.m. at Retro Fitness of Florham

provides superior patient care, is an effective advocate for patients and their families, works with peers to foster a positive work environment, demonstrates professionalism in interacting with patients, their families and other medical professionals, and demonstrates a commitment to continuing professional education. One of his colleagues with the Minute Men, Kendall Sarson, commended him on the award. “Ryan dedicates considerable time to his pursuit of providing exceptional patient care to individuals in the pre-hospital and hospital setting,” Sarson said. “Ryan has truly modeled his entire life around helping others, whether patient or peer, and his work as an EMT has become one of the most significant parts of his identity.” Being an EMT can be challenging, but it is worth it, Sarson said. “Being an EMT is extremely rewarding,” Houser said. “To be able to help someone having one of the worst days of their lives is something that you can’t do elsewhere. There are some difficult

calls that make being an EMT a challenge. The same reasons that make EMS rewarding are also the challenges, since you are seeing people at their worst.” In January, he helped deliver a baby, and in November 2015, he did CPR that saved a man’s life. As the assistant captain, he helps with operational readiness and recruitment and chairs the agency’s membership and equipment committees. He is creating awareness videos to benefit community education and encourage agency volunteers. Houser, who attends Rutgers University, is also a firefighter with Morris Township Fire Department, an EMT for the Cedar Knolls Fire Department and Morris County OEM, serves on judiciary committees to support juveniles and works at Morristown Medical Center as an emergency technician. He was one of the first in his family to volunteer in public safety. Only his grandfather, Herbert Miller, who served in the Air Force, and his uncle, Michael Vinci, who is a volunteer firefighter, have done anything like this.

Local Police Officer Packs CPR And Reaction Skills On Vacation And Helps Save A Life
By Stefanie Sears orris Township police officer Sergeant Sean O’Hare of Roxbury was recently making headlines this summer when he revived a drowning 2-year-old boy while vacationing in Florida. It was October 13 and O’Hare was visiting family. While relaxing by the pool at the local hotel, he heard a commotion. He ran over to the scene and discovered an unconscious child being lifted from the pool. O’Hare and another hotel guest performed CPR and the boy’s condition began to improve when the police department arrived. After he was taken to the hospital, he recovered with no issues. “They always say that you go back to your training,” explains O’Hare of his thought process whenever situations like that arise. “You immediately see that there is something going on and you just don’t hesitate. When someone needs help and you need to take action, you just do it. Then you just rely on your experiences and do what you’re trained to do.”
vision. He is the patrol supervisor and shift commander of a squad of six officers and reports directly to his Lieutenant. Other duties consist of answering calls for service and preparing operations for the Tour of Duty. O’Hare credits his parents for their constant support, but also attributes a lot of his confidence to Franklin, who passed away from a bicycle accident in May

O’Hare always had an interest in law enforcement. He first joined the Roxbury Police Explorer Program led by Lt. Joseph Franklin in 1992. In 1994, he was hired as a Dispatcher in Roxbury. During this time he graduated from high school and attended the County College of Morris where he received a degree in law enforcement. From there he attended the Morris County Police Academy. Finally, Morris Township hired him in 1997 and he is now in his 21st year in the field. He works as a patrol sergeant assigned to the Patrol Di-

We set out at a young age and really wanted to be in law enforcement and that helped drastically. Now probably more than 25 of us have gone on to become police continued on page 5

times people are involved in other professions and then decide that something is calling them towards law enforcement, so they decide to switch their majors and so forth. But, try to get involved in any type of special police officer, any type of auxiliary police. A few towns have those. That’s always a good angle, a good way to start. And I also always recommend that people, if you’re into that, maybe if you try to get a job at the Dispatcher with the police department or county communications. That gives you good insight into what really goes on. All that time will go towards your retirement. It’s all credible time in your pension.”

“Being a police officer is what I was meant to do,” he says. “I enjoy the job. I love it. I can’t imagine myself doing anything else. A lot of times you are surrounded by a lot of bad, but there are times you are surrounded by good. But unfortunately, when you are a police officer, you encounter people at their very worst. In my career, I have seen a lot.” For those considering embarking on the police field, O’Hare imparts the following advice: “Make sure before you start spending money on college, it is what you want to do. A lot of times people think they want to do it, and they don’t. A lot of

Boat Launched By Morristown School Sails All The Way To Scotland never landed, the third made it to Scotland, but was never found and last year, it landed in Spain. The first two years, a father of a student launched the boat near Charleston, S.C., and the past three, it was put on a container ship that makes weekly runs to the Bahamas. The program is funded by a trustee at the school. Swanson hopes the kids can
communicate via Skype or email with the children in Scotland. Furthermore, she says this type of learning can benefit students interested in geography or other cultures. “I don’t think kids at this age think much beyond themselves,” Swanson said. “It [the program] gives them an opportunity to understand people in a different country.”

By Jason Cohen GPS-equipped Mini-Boat that was sponsored by Morristown-Beard School in Morristown was found by a family in Scotland in August. The SS Beard, which was launched in December 2016 off the Bermuda Island along with another boat, the Shields Surfer, was at sea for 48 days and 12 hours. While the five-foot vessel stopped transmitting mid-ocean in February, it was discovered ashore in the Shetland Islands of Scotland on Aug. 6, by Jessica and John Falconer. Lisa Swanson, a sixth grade geography teacher at Morristown Beard, who is in charge of the sixth grade’s project of monitoring the boat’s progress, received several emails and photos from the Falconer family. While the boat was badly beat up, the family was able to salvage some of its contents, which included, letters from the students, a map of New Jersey, a baseball and a dollar bill.

An excerpt from the first email says: “We have retrieved the contents of the boat, unfortunately the written documents are ruined and we cannot open the flash drive. It would be really nice for the children to communicate and share the information. Best wishes from Shetland, Jessica and John Falconer.” The boat is part of a program called Educational Passages that was started eight years ago in Maine. Today, schools in 15 states and 14 countries have participated in 85 launches of GPS equipped mini boats. The goal of Educational Passages is to allow students to follow ocean currents and winds, introduce them to sailing, engage kids in collaborative learning through international cultural experiences and increase understanding of the value of the hydrosphere as a shared resource through ocean literacy. This is the fifth year the school participated. Its first boat idled in the English Channel, the second

Local Therapist Counsels And Guides Those Dealing With Loss
roviding support, honesty and guidance for 26 years, Judith P. Zucker is a family therapist specializing in grief and loss. Established in 1991, Judith P. Zucker Family Therapy in Morristown specializes in psychotherapy with individuals, couples and families, as well as bereavement counseling. Zucker helps others cope with life and loss. “I help people manage the pain and changes in their lives when a loved one dies,” says
Zucker. “It is universal, but when it happens to us, it is the most intimate and lonely experience we can have. “Sometimes loss and grief lurk around even if no one you love has died,” she explains. “The loss of a vision you had about your life, your relationships, children, health, job, etc. can be equally life changing. “As your vision fades questions and concerns pop into your thoughts, uninvited,” she continues. “You become upset because
what you assumed would be right for you isn’t turning that way. Those thoughts become your secret. “The thoughts don’t go away. You worry something is happening to you that shouldn’t. What is wrong? What if the feelings get worse? “When disappointments get in your way and that feeling of loss hangs around you, that is the time to reach out.” Call Zucker, by appointment only at 973-727-8290.
From The Deputy Mayor’s Desk: Louise Johnson
Deputy Mayor Johnson Speaks Up On Local Myths
A
s Morris Township deputy mayor, I often am asked questions that reflect resident misconceptions on important matters regarding our property taxes, local government and quality of life. This month we will take on four common myths. Watch for next month’s article with three more myth-busting facts. Myth #1: When Honeywell relocated its corporate headquarters, Morris Township lost a
lot of tax revenue. Fact: Corporate property tax assessment is based on “best possible use.” At one time, Honeywell had eleven buildings in use; however, by the time the headquarters was relocated, they were actively using only three buildings. Under Planned Unit Development, the Honeywell site was subdivided into five parcels, each with its own assessed value. The property is currently being redeveloped and, when completed, will feature beautiful townhomes, state-of-the-art office space, 15 acres of open space, and over two miles of walking trails. Honeywell is renovating and retaining some office and lab space on site. It is expected that the new property assessments, which will use sales contracts to determine current value, may triple the annual property tax revenue to Morris Township from about $300,000 to approximately
$900,000 when build-out is completed. In addition, this redevelopment will generate $1 million to $1.5 million in permit revenue to the township. Myth #2: Adding townhomes to our housing stock adds many children, stressing our school system. Fact: This is a long-standing misconception. Professional studies over multiple years, and Morris Township land use experience indicate that townhomes have far fewer school-aged children per household than traditional detached single-family homes. A Rutgers model for predicting demographic changes associated with residential development is commonly used and our township has historically come in at about half of the school-aged children predicted by this model. The reality is that townhomes are often occupied by empty nesters wanting to downsize, or by singles or couples without schoolaged children. We are confident

The show hours are: Oct. 20, 5 p.m. to 9 p.m.; Oct. 21, 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. and Oct. 22, 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. “For four decades, the Morristown Craft-
Market has received acclaim as a major cultural and charitable event not only in New Jersey but throughout our nation,” said Show Director Geoffrey Price, a member of the not-for-profit and all-volunteer Kiwanis Club of Randolph Township, which sponsors and runs the Morristown CraftMarket. “The thousands of patrons who come each year to our show at the Morristown Armory know that we showcase extraordicont. on page 11
that our Morris School District can absorb any new students coming from our redevelopment areas without adding teachers, classrooms or infrastructure. The school district’s total student numbers have been quite stable over the last few years – 5,667 in 2015 and projected at 5,686 for 2017. Myth #3: Morris Township is planning to add “big box” stores and high-density housing at the Colgate/Mennen site. Fact: The Morris Township Planning Board carefully guides our community development. Morris Township’s Master Plan Reexamination, recently approved by its Planning Board with significant public input, calls for lovely new townhomes and smaller-scale retail use fronting Hanover Avenue at the Colgate Palmolive/Mennen site. Big box stores are specifically excluded from the redevelopment plan.

Morristown Gets Street Smarter Through Safety Campaign By Henry M. Holden etween 2013 to 2015, there were 51 pedestrian-auto-related accidents in Morristown, including one fatality. Twenty-one percent of the accidents were a result of pedestrians jaywalking, and 46 percent of the accidents were a result of pedestrians struck while crossing within a marked crosswalk. As a community, Morristown is a busy place with the Morris County Seat, Morristown Medical Center, the Mayo Performing Arts Center, and hundreds of businesses, and restaurants. Both drivers and pedestrians should understand their personal responsibilities in creating safer streets. Subsequently, TransOptions, a transportation management association for northwest New Jersey, the Morristown Police Department, and town officials coordinated a plan called Street Smart, in April 2016. The program was responding to New Jersey being designated
B
a pedestrian “focus” state by the Federal Highway Administration. In 2015, New Jersey ranked 15th in the nation in pedestrian fatalities, according to a recent report from the Governor’s Highway Safety Association. Street Smart is a pedestrian safety campaign that uses grass roots outreach, education, and enforcement, to change unsafe behaviors on the streets of Morristown. Street Smart aims to educate those who walk and drive in the community to increase their awareness with life-saving practices and signage. After the success of the program in the Spring 2016, TransOptions, the town of Morristown and the Morristown Police Department, continued their efforts in the spring of 2017 to make pedestrian safety a priority. Pedestrian awareness in both positive walking and driving behaviors, and increase awareness of pedestrian safety laws was part

of the program. In the Spring of 2017 following a month-long campaign that combined education and enforcement techniques, new data showed that the public awareness effort continues to pay off. Results from a survey showed that there was a 21-percent increase in awareness of the Street Smart campaign, and more people were aware that they could receive a summons for crossing against the traffic signal when walking. There was also a decrease in drivers using cellphones, after a pre-campaign survey revealed 16-percent of self-confessed drivers were distracted. Data from speed-tracking devices on Morristown’s Speedwell Ave. showed most drivers traveling at or under the posted speed limit. This was an increase of six-percent from the first campaign. Mid-block crossing were also reduced at busy intersections and there was a reduction in pedestrian cellphone use while

Morristown Gets Street Smarter... cont. from page 10 “Educational outreach to Morristown High School students enrolled in driver’s education was made with efforts to influence these new drivers with in-class presentations,” says Laura Cerutti of TransOptions. “It focused on how new drivers can be ready to drive safely around pedestrians and the busy traffic we find in
Morristown. The program we feel was very successful over the two years. The recognition of it certainly carried over. The campaign definitely saw a reduction in Jay walking. “One thing we did that we feel was very successful was the level of outreach to the community,” she says. “Since Morristown has a big

St. Patrick’s Day parade, and it is so well-known we tried an experiment and I think it really paid off,” says Cerutti. “To increase awareness of the safety messages, we used Snapchat as an outreach tool. We created a special Snapchat filter with a St. Patrick’s Day theme and it said, ‘Headsup phones-down when walking and driving.’ That was viewed
about 16,000 times. We know that Snapchat is widely used among the younger crowds, so we thought the message really hit hard with that population.” For more information on Street Smart and to view both the 2016 and spring 2017 final reports for Morristown, visit TransOptions.org/street-smart, or call TransOptions at (973) 267-7600.
Kiwanis’ Morristown CraftMarket ... cont. from page 8 nary, one-of-a-kind and limited edition fine arts and crafts - all made in America by American hands - and that all our profits go to charities,” said Price. “The show has raised nearly $2 million for local charities since it first opened to the public in 1977.” The exhibiting artists will display and sell their original creations in jewelry, leather, ceramics, metal, glass, wood, furniture, mixed media, wearable fiber and more. For the second consecutive year, the show will hold a Tricky Tray in memory of Robert James “RJ” Nelson, III, a brave baby boy who was born 13 1/2 weeks premature and lived for only 82 days. The Tricky Tray will put the spotlight on premature birth, which the March of Dimes calls “the number one killer of babies” and “the most urgent health issue facing our children today.” Proceeds from the Tricky Tray will benefit the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit of Morristown
Medical Center (“Sam’s NICU”), which helps premature babies and their families. Tickets for the Tricky Tray will be sold throughout the show. The drawing will be held on Oct. 22 at 5 p.m. at the show. Winners need not be present. The CraftMarket will host an Opening Night Reception on Oct. 20 from 5 p.m. to 8 p.m. for patrons who are at least 21 years old. Big Brothers Big Sisters will be collecting gently used clothing items throughout the show. Receipts will be issued for tax-deductible donations of clothing items accepted at the collection truck located near the parking lot. A coupon for $2 off the $10 admission price is available online at www.MorristownCraftMarket.org. Children under 12 with an adult are free. The show is barrier free for disabled persons and pet-friendly, so well-behaved animals on a leash are welcome. There is plenty of free parking.

Get Spooked This Fall When Hauntings’ Investigator Shares His Findings By Stefanie Sears ordon Thomas Ward will be discussing his Ford Mansion haunting investigation as well as additional hauntings throughout the area on Sat., Oct. 28, at the Morristown National Historical Park auditorium located in the museum behind Ford Mansion. Sounds like the perfect outing just in time for Halloween, does it not? Ward is a writer and singer/ songwriter who occasionally incorporates his musical talents into his lecture presentations about his haunting investigations. He has been at this for about 40 years. “I got into investigating places that were reported haunted because I grew up in a house that had a lot of activity in it,” Ward explains. “That got me interested in a very early age. It wouldn’t be what I call ‘investigation’ now. When I started recording or taking notes, keeping a journal of what happened, when I was very young; maybe about 11 or 12. Then when I got into college I started investigating places on my own and then a little bit in groups.” Ward studied at Fairleigh Dickinson University and majored in music and psychology. He chose Ford Mansion as his latest venture after years of hearing about it. He performed volunteer work there and had obtained permission to begin his investigation. He chose to share his evidence results but not cite them because he wanted to maintain a low profile on things. When Ward embarks on his investigations, he brings along a

camera and audio recorder and believes that the latter provides the best evidence because of the possibility of capturing a voice on a hard drive. He would spend a couple of hours at a location and sweep through the house to record readings and detect electromagnetic activity. However, this could also dupe hauntings investigators if they are unaware. “There’s a room that has all of the alarms in an electric box, so there are high readings in there because that’s where the electricity is coming into the house,” says Ward. Ward is familiar with the popularity behind haunting investigations inspired by TV and film, but states that he does not fall into this category and warns that it is best to know the difference between accurate and false findings. “The paranormal investigators out there tend to run into different types of groups,” he says. There are people who have been keeping up with the field in terms of what people have been doing at a university level and pretty high caliber investigative level out there. That would be the group that I would fall into. And then there are other people that just watch some of these shows on TV and they think ‘I can get a camera and I can go with some of my friends to this haunted location and take some pictures and we’ll scare ourselves. We’ll collect the proof of the haunting.’ Well, there is no proof at all. We can’t prove any of this stuff. We can investigate it, we can collect evidence, to support the existence of the haunting, but nobody can prove it…yet.

But we’re moving towards that area. You just have to be really careful about who you’re talking to and what types of experience they have.” In other words, what some say is a ghost could just simply be a photo of light. Of course, given the “spooky” associations involving paranormal activity, fear might be the expected outcome. However, Ward is not afraid. “I’m very calm about this. I don’t think there is anything that people need to fear about this at all. A lot of the ideas that people get about paranormal investigation come from horror movies and really bad TV shows that give people that impression. In all my years of investigating I have never, ever, ever come close to being threatened. I never had anything negative happen to me.” For Ward, ghosts are just people. “My take on what a ghost

is that it’s just a person without skin,” he says. “It’s what is left of its human consciousness when the human heart of that passes away. It’s sort of akin to walking down the street. There are all sorts of personalities of people that you are going to meet out there. Some are very nice, some are not so nice. That’s what you encounter with these spirits that inhabit these locations with activity.” For more about Ward, visit www.gordonthomasward.com.

edation Dentistry is an exciting relaxation advancement to be able to offer to the 30% of people who fear the dentist. Whether you have outright fear and anxiety, or are undergoing a long procedure, sedation dentistry helps to manage these concerns. Fear & Anxiety Many people stay away from long-needed dental care due to fear and anxiety. Does it sound intriguing to be able to wake up from a nap and have years of dental problems gone and corrected? Dr. Goldberg offers many different Sedation Dentistry options. Whether you’re living with constant mouth pain or have a smile that you hide, oftentimes one appointment of Sedation Dentistry will correct these issues. Long Procedures If your care is going to take many hours and you’d rather not be aware of what’s going on, Sedation Dentistry can provide you that vacation. Dr. Goldberg performs many smile makeovers, as well as lengthy implant proce-
Are You Anxious At The Dentist?
dures; some patients choose for a sedation option. Sedation Options Dr. Goldberg offers 3 different levels of sedation to help with fear, anxiety, and / or long procedures: Nitrous Oxide Also known as “laughing gas” or “sweet air,” the patient breathes in a mixture of nitrous oxide and oxygen. This gives you a level of relaxation during the procedure. As soon as the procedure is completed, the gas is turned off and you return to normal alertness. OCS - Oral Conscious Sedation Also known as “enteral” sedation, this procedure utilizes some pills. Again, fear and anxiety are reduced, and relaxation ensues. You will require someone to drive you. The next day you will likely have either full amnesia of the procedure, or just a little recollection. IV Sedation For the fullest and most complete level of fear & anxiety control, Dr. Goldberg works with anesthesiologists who provide
the greatest level of sedation. The medications are provided intravenously and constantly monitored. Among these three options, you will have the most relaxation, the least fear and anxiety, and the greatest level of amnesia. Reasons Patients Request Sedation Dentistry • Fear & Anxiety Many people avoid the dentist for years and years due to fear & anxiety. We get that. That’s one of the reasons Dr. Goldberg is certified in OCS: to provide the care that many patients are too fearful to undergo otherwise. The way people’s lives are changed within a few hours is amazing! And when these patients refer their friends and family members, he knows that he is doing something to change people’s outlook on life. • Dental Implants Dr. Goldberg is a very wellknown and respected implantologist. As an expert in the field, he performs complex procedures that can take a number of hours or concern patients due to the
activities in the treatment room. Again, Sedation Dentistry offers a level of relaxation so patients don’t have to be involved in the procedures. • Smile Makeovers Again, Dr. Goldberg is a very well-known and respected general dentist. He treats many patients for full, comprehensive care, and just like the implant procedures, these type of makeovers can take time. Some patients wish to not be involved with the procedure, and opt for sedation. Dr. Goldberg is a general dentist located in the Roxbury Mall in Succasunna. He provides general dental services for the entire family, including: cleanings, check-ups, whitening, veneers, crowns, root canals, periodontal (gum) services, and dental implants. He holds many degrees and is recognized as an expert in dental implants. Please visit his website at www.morriscountydentist.com for additional information. He can be reached at (973) 328-1225 and at frontdesk.mcda@gmail.com
