By Cheryl Conway hen it comes to computer science and technology, Ethan Humphrey of Randolph seems to be a step ahead as he has already patented his first app and mingled with other developers around the world. A rising junior at Randolph High School, Humphrey received a scholarship to attend Apple’s annual Worldwide Developers Conference (WWDC) held in San Jose, Calif., June 4 to June 8. He was selected based on his application to join 350 other developers from around the world from 42 different countries who spoke 34 different languages, he says. “I was very excit-

ed, it was such an honor to be accepted,” says Humphrey, who had submitted his application around Easter and received an email April 20 that he was selected. His airplane ticket and lodging at San Jose State University were fully covered by the WWDC sponsors.
Attendees were as young as 11 and the oldest probably in their 30s, says Humphrey, “as long as you are enrolled in a school, college or STEM program you can apply.” The purpose of the conference is to learn new technologies, improve current practices, network and meet
other developers, explains Humphrey. “Apple devices have been a passion of mine for some time,” says Humphrey, who has been following the WWDC since 2014. “So many developers want to go; you sign up to pay for it” or the selective few, like himself, get to cont. on page 6

Randolph Youths Raise 7K For Jam Kancer In The Kan
T
By Jason Cohen hree friends from Randolph recently tackled the fight against cancer for their bar mitzva projects as they raised $7,000 for children and families impacted by the disease. Jake Weiner and Jack Levine, sixth grade students at Randolph Middle School, and Lilly Levine, a fifth grader at Shongum Elementary School, are members of Morristown Jewish Center Beit Yisrael. On June 10, they held a Jam Kancer in the Kan fundraiser at the Garden State Elite Volley-
explained the kids wanted to do a mitzva project that not only helped a cause, but was able to include all ages. She explained that while her son is too young to remember her mom Barbara Gettinger who died of ovarian cancer in 2008, his best friend’s mother is battling cancer
now. So, ultimately, the disease touches everyone regardless of age. Based upon the popular game Kan Jam, Jam Kancer In The Kan was created in 2014 by four friends whose lives had been affected by the disease. KanJam (sometimes spelled kancont. on page 17

Local Dentist Spends Weekend Teaching Implant Procedures
r. Ira Goldberg, a leading local authority on dental implants, spent multiple days at the end of June training dentists who were just beginning their dental implant career. As a respected educator, it’s not uncommon for Goldberg to share his knowledge and expertise with others. As part of the faculty at The Dental Implant Learning Center in Englewood, Goldberg spent time with a group of doctors performing actual implant procedures for patients. “It always an honor to work with dentists who want to further their talents with dental implants,” he said. “These doctors are spending time away from their families and own offices to learn skills that will make them better dentists for the benefit of their patients.” What’s even more surprising is how full circle this teaching position is for Goldberg. Twenty three years ago he began his own implant career at this office. “Dr. John Minichetti, the director of this program, started his teaching career due to me trying to find a hands-on program where I could learn implant skills,” he said. “These programs really weren’t available. I pushed Dr. Minichetti
to start the program, which he did. Now, here I am as an instructor passing my knowledge onto others. It’s a real pleasure to be invited to do so.” “Dental implants have revolutionized patients’ options,” says Goldberg. “Instead of removable dentures and aggressive bridgework being only options, we are able to offer other services retained by implants. Whether a person needs a single tooth or a full jaw replacement, its amazing what we can now offer.” When asked about his role as an educator to other dentists, Goldberg stated, “I’ve always heard that when you’re passionate about something, it shows. I’ve been providing implant services for over 23 years, and I’m always excited about it. I guess that’s why other doctors and dental professionals ask me for my thoughts, help, and guidance. It’s quite an honor, I love to share.” Goldberg holds many honors in the field of implant dentistry. He is a Diplomate of the American Board of Oral Implantology / Implant Dentistry, and a Fellow of the American Academy of Implant Dentistry. Goldberg is the owner of Morris County Dental Associates in Succasunna. He per-

Student Creates Homework App... continued from front page go on scholarship. To get selected, Humphrey had to “create a program to prove your net worth as a developer,” he explains. “They grade your written portion.” The applicants’ assignment is open ended: To make something that demonstrates their knowledge of use of these technologies. For his application, Humphrey created a game featuring one of the high Apple executives Craig Federighi and took the user through the computer software that Apple made. Ecstatic that he was selected, Humphrey was elated by all that he learned and the connections he made. Highlights included a firstday keynote where Apple introduced upcoming software; more than 100 technical and design-focused sessions presented by Apple engineers; hands on labs with details and guidance from experts on how to implement new features; individual appointments to improve apps; motivating conver-
sations with fellow developers and Apple experts; and compelling presentations. One thrill on the trip was being among the first scholars to be invited to the new Steve Jobs Theater, notes Humphrey. “It was really a big privilege,” says Humphrey. “Steve Jobs Theater, it was absolutely amazing.” He describes a ceiling suspended in glass and “glass elevator that spins as you go up and down.” He also enjoyed the speakers on new technologies with demonstrations on how to implement code as well as his discussions with engineers. “You sign up for different topics,” says Humphrey. “They talk to you about anything.” Humphrey says he was able to attend at least 15 different seminars and labs so he can learn as much as he can from industry experts on the latest on what they are developing. “It was absolutely amazing,” says Humphrey. “It was the best week I had my entire life; absolutely mind-blowing to be
there; it was such an honor.” Tim Cook, CEO of Apple was there, and Humphrey met some other developers such as one who works for Groupon and another from Twitter. To be prepared and network, Humphrey had printed out 500 business cards of his own and handed out about half. He received a job offer to move to France and an internship in Newark, but has decided to stay grounded for now and work on his own ventures such as his new App called Assigned! to help students keep track of their assignments. While he attended WWDC, he received some feedback on how he could improve his app. “I took very extensive notes when I went there,” says Humphrey. Ethan said he created the app to help students keep track of assignments and tests. “I have been working on it for two-three years,” he said. He started working on it in 2015 and it took him about 100 hours to design it, he noted.

Humphrey first started getting involved in app developing in the seventh grade while living in Bermuda. One of his assignments in his information technology class was to come up with an idea for an app. “That summer I taught myself” how to work on phone apps, says Humphrey. He made Assigned! that summer and when he came back to school in eighth grade he showed his teacher. “She absolutely loved it,” he says. So he talked to the principal about his app and the newspaper. Attention grew and he won second place for the most innovated youth project in Bermuda for teens and young adults at an award ceremony hosted by Digical. While in 8th grade, in 2016, he expanded his idea, showcased it to all of his friends who downloaded the app and expanded it for all schools. Free to all users, Assigned! was officially published in Sepcontinued on page 7

Its purpose is to keep track of homework, schedules and tests giving students reminders. “I wanted to give power to the students to add homework from any class they have,” says Humphrey. Currently there are 140 monthly users, notes Humphrey, with most in Randolph,
some area towns and Bermuda. Humphrey came up with the idea after realizing how difficult it was for students in Bermuda to keep track of their changing two week schedule. “It was kind of impossible to learn the schedule,” says Humphrey. “It was not concurrent,” and students would have to a carry around paper schedules with “so many classes to remember and no one could re-

member it. People didn’t have a good way of keeping track of their homework.” While he does make some money, “the more users the more money I will start making,” Humphrey stresses “it’s mostly a passion project” as he’s more “into helping people with their homework rather than making money.” Humphrey has made smaller projects and apps before, such as Spendance in October 2016 which tracks how kids spend their allowance, but this is his first big phone app. “Usually during the summer is when I get most of my coding done,” says Humphrey. “I always had an interest in computer science,” he says. He took an online course, iOS for development, learned through sessions on Apple conference or developer documentation and sites like Stack Overflow. “I get my knowledge from a bunch of different sources,” he says, and it may be in his genes. His parents, Scott and Laura Humphrey, both graduated with
computer science degrees and met while working for IBM, he says. When he was 10, Humphrey downloaded his own software and started coding on his own. He then took other classes for programming. “I’m a very technical person, very math oriented, very logical,” says Humphrey, “but not very artistic. Whenever I want something done in an app I can make it personalized,” he explains, “As opposed to being an artist; I’m not very good at drawing. I get to express my creativity through my apps.” Looking ahead, Humphrey says would like to study computer science or cyber security possibly at MIT and then pursue a career in app development. Anyone can download the Assigned! App. Visit the App store on the iphone or Google Play on Android. For information on the Assigned!

music. In Russia, people were supposed to be engineers or doctors, she said with a laugh. She was kind of the “black sheep” of her family. In fact, she took voice lessons at a shul in St. Petersburg and sang in the choir. “I wanted to be a singer,” she said. Then in 1990 at the age of 18, her family made Aliyah to Israel. It was here in the Jewish homeland, where she finally discovered Judaism. In Israel, she studied musical education at the Musical Academy of Tel Aviv University. During that time, she sang in numerous concerts throughout the country, had a leading role in the play “A Hosn in Shtetl” in Yiddish theatre and sang in the Tel Aviv Philharmonic Choir. After graduating from the academy she immigrated to America in 1997 with hopes of becoming a cantor. She moved to Brooklyn and lived in a basement apartment while trying to assimilate to the fast pace of New York. In 2002, she obtained her master’s degree from the Miller Cantorial School at the Jewish Theological Seminary and was the first woman from the former Soviet Union to graduate from JTS. Serebro-Litvak then landed her first cantorial job in 2002 at Temple B’nai Or in Morristown. Her tenure there was brief and eventually became the cantor at Beth Am in Parsippany in 2005. “I learned about what it takes to be a member of a clergy,” she explained. “I connected with people.” While at Beth Am the yearning to help others and inspire grew in her. Consequently, she
went to rabbinical school at Academy of Jewish Religion in Yonkers, N.Y., and received her ordination and master’s degree in Jewish Studies on May 12, 2016. She developed a strong bond with the congregation and credits a lot of her success to the late Rabbi Steven Mills. Mills died suddenly July 2, 2017 the day after the shul began a rabbi sharing partnership with Temple Shalom of Succasunna. But, not long after his death, the two synagogues did not see the benefit of sharing and began to each look for separate rabbis. She applied for the position at the Reform synagogue in Succasunna and the rest is history. “Beyond the music I enjoy helping people and teaching,” the rabbi remarked. “I’m delighted that at Temple Shalom I will be fulfilling both roles. Serebro-Litvak has been working at the shul for about a year, so it was a smooth transition, she explained. It is a small congregation and she feels at home. Her goals are to make the synagogue a place where people not only come and pray, but where they can be together, connect and feel at peace. “The challenge is to attract the Jews who are unaffiliated,” the rabbi said. As she looks back at her life, she is extremely humble, yet proud of what she has accomplished. She lives in Randolph and is married to Anatoly (Tony) Litvak. They have two daughters, Emily, 14 and Abigail, 11. “I’m so blessed to live the life I’ve always dreamt of,” she said.

W
Governor Cody Aims To Prevent Teen Suicide
By Jason Cohen ith teen suicide on the rise throughout the state, Senator Richard Codey (D-Livingston), recently unveiled a $1 million plan to combat depression and help educate people on mental health. On July 1, the former governor introduced a bill that will award a $1 million grant within the NJ Department of Education (DOE) for school districts to hire mental health counselors. The NJ Department of Health will determine which school districts are awarded grants. The DOE will report on progress by 2021. There will be specialized training workshops to non-licensed, auxiliary school staff who interact with students and a creation of a statewide “Teen Suicide and Depression Task Force” charged with developing additional methods to combat teen
suicide and depression and report back to the state legislature by July 2019. “School workers such as secretaries, security guards and teacher’s aides need the tools and training to recognize bullying, early warning signs and symptoms of mental health issues, and the proper steps to resolve conflict and prevent potential disasters,” declared Governor Codey at a press conference at Liberty Middle School in West Orange in May. According to the New Jersey Youth Suicide Report, 2,731 people age 10 to 24 were treated in an emergency room for non-fatal suicide attempts/ self-inflicted injuries from 2013 to 2015. Also, according to the New Jersey Dept. of Health, from 2007 to 2016, suicides among children ages 10 to 18 rose by 16.6 percent. “Too many young lives are being lost,” Codey said at the press conference. “New Jersey
must act now to better equip all school employees to help identify at-risk students and prevent teen suicides and other mental health related incidents in their schools.” Codey and his wife, Mary Jo Codey, have been involved with mental health since 2012 when they established the Codey Fund for Mental Health. The organization’s goal is to educate people about mental health and provide quality treatment for individuals with mental illness. Mary Jo has dealt with depression and Codey has met with many parents who have lost kids to suicide, including Dianne Grossman of Rockaway, whose daughter Mallory took her own life at age 12 in June 2017 and Rachelle St. Phard, whose son Coby committed suicide in March 2016 at age 18. The governor has been sur-
rounded by death most of his life. He is the owner of Codey and Jones Funeral Home in Caldwell, but noted that he has never seen so saw many young people die until recently. Codey feels that social media is a huge factor in teen depression and suicide. Instead of being outside with friends or being active, bullying follows kids home onto Snapchat, Twitter or Facebook, making their lives even worse, he said. With the recent suicides of designer Kate Spade and renowned chef, Anthony Bourdain, depression can affect anyone, he said. The governor hopes these deaths may get people to talk about depression. “The biggest thing for mental health is to overcome the stigma of depression,” he said. “Teenage suicide is not a comfortable issue for people to talk about.”

Youths Raise 7K... continued from page 2 jam or Kan-Jam) is a flying disc game, played with a flying disc and two cans in which a player deflects the disc. The object of the game is to score points by throwing and deflecting the flying disc and hitting or entering the goal. The game ends when a team scores exactly 21 points or “chogs” the disc for an instant win. Players must get exactly 21. If a throw takes a team’s score over 21, that team wins. Other rules apply. Since the event’s inception and the subsequent formation of the Jam Kancer In The Kan Foundation, more than $630,000 has been raised for children and families impacted by cancer. In 2017, the movement was bolstered by the efforts of New York Islanders’ star Anders Lee and his Kancer Jam event, which raised an additional $100,000. Other NHL players have held events as well. Weiner explained that in September 2017 she and her son began discussing what to do for his bar mitzva project. A couple of years ago he and his friends began playing Kam Jam, so they decided to try hosting their own fundraiser.
“We didn’t have an expectation,” she recalled. “What we wanted was something the kids could do themselves.” The event featured 34 teams and kids and adults in their 40s and 50s played. In addition to raising $7,000, the teens packed chemo therapy care bags and wrote letters for 100 cancer patients. The attendees also had the privilege to hear Fenov Pierre-Louis speak. He is a 17-year-old high school student from Roselle, who has been battling Stage 4 Neuroblastoma cancer since the age of 9. Weiner noted that she wanted her son to not only help others with the mitzva project, but to really be involved. Jake and the Levine siblings planned and set up the event from start to finish. “The ability to do something good and inspire other kids to was really the most important part of it,” Weiner stressed. “I think that’s why it was ultimately so successful because everyone has a cancer story. Jake and Jack came away from the day thinking we should do this again.”

Ironia School Debuts New Playground Equipment
Ironia Principal David Kricheff and the Ironia PTO Board enjoyed the dedication ceremony -- and the new playground.
I
ronia Elementary School students are having much more fun at recess thanks to the Ironia PTO. The Randolph school’s Parent Teacher Organization donated new inclusive green, orange, blue and grey playground equipment made possible through fundraising efforts like its Winterfest fundraiser, holi-
day gift shop and book fair. Ironia Principal David Kricheff welcomed students, teachers and the PTO at a special ceremony and thanked the PTO for its generous donation to the school. A contest took place to name the playground and Linda Andrews’ class picked the winning entry: Panther Park. The PTO has
been working on this significant donation for five years, noted PTO Co-President Tara Novak. “We are so excited that the kids have different options for recess,” Kricheff said, adding that the new, inclusive equipment is great for younger students, including kindergarten students, and encourages imaginative play with a school store and different creative play areas. The new playground includes an inclusive spinner and orange triangle climbers. One area, which lists the alphabet and numbers, features braille writing. There is a maze with marbles and gears to turn. The PTO donated $65,000 for the equipment, which is now located behind the school, between the older playground area and physical fitness area. Co-Presidents Novak and Francesca Tighe, Vice Presidents Evelina Pentz, Kristin Sullivan and Karen Galluzzo and Secretary Jenn Freeman enjoyed the celebration and dedication ceremony. Novak said the PTO wanted to bring in a new playground area which “would get children to use their imaginations a little bit more and offer more play options.”
