A Thanksgiving Story
I
By Richard Mabey Jr. n the midst of the Summer of 2018, I began taking my mom to Bingo every Thursday afternoon. Mom lived with me, in our gated community in Central Florida. Playing Bingo was a fun time, for both, Mom and myself. We met some very interesting people. And, we both learned the agony of waiting for just one number to be called to complete the horizontal, vertical, or diagonal line to be able to joyfully call out “Bingo!” I think it was in the beginning of 2018 that Mom and I began attending classes, at our gated community, for developing skill and style for writing children’s stories. I remember that Mom excelled in the class. She made a lot of friends and people enjoyed hearing her array of children’s stories. It was in early 2018 that Mom needed to depend upon a wheelchair to get around. The arthritis in her hips had gotten so bad that she was hardly able to walk. Mom’s cardiologist would not authorize that she was stable enough for hip replacement surgery, because of the degree of her heart murmur due to Aortic Stenosis. In the middle of November of 2019, Mom had heart surgery to replace her Aortic Valve. There were post-operative complications and Mom needed to stay in the hospital. Thanksgiving Day came and Mom was still in the hospital. On Thanksgiving Day, my sister Patti and I arrived at the hospital, bright and early to spend Thanksgiving Day with Mom. We made turkey sandwiches and packed them in a little insulated lunch box, complete with a plastic container of dry ice. We also packed two small bottles of iced tea to have with our special Thanksgiving meal with Mom that day. An older woman came into Mom’s hospital room at about high noon. She carried with her a tray, with lunch on it. The kind woman smiled at Mom, put the tray down on Mom’s mobile, bedside table, said Happy Thanksgiving to Mom,
then turned and returned to the hallway to the big lunch storage container on wheels. And, behold, there it was the hospital cafeteria’s version of a Thanksgiving dinner. Oh, I do not want to be unkind here. But, let’s just say, it was mediocre at best. The turkey was that pressed turkey that comes in a roll and someone simply sliced it up. Mom was given two slices of this turkey roll with a sparing amount of gravy. There was a little white, corrugated, paper cup filled about three-quarters of the way with cranberry sauce. Not the real cranberry sauce, but rather the cranberry sauce that has a slight resemblance to gelatin. Then, there was a bit of stuffing, some green beans and then some corn. Not the greatest Thanksgiving meal that my Mom ever had, but still it was better than nothing. I cut the turkey slices for Mom. She protested with every slice of the knife. “I’m not an invalid,” Mom kept telling me. I assured Mom that she wasn’t an invalid, that I wanted to slice her turkey for her. Mom ate her turkey dinner, while my sister Patti and I ate our turkey sandwiches. It was a joyful moment in time. But it was definitely blanketed with a sprinkling of sadness. We talked about past Thanksgiving days. We remembered relatives, who were now having their Thanksgiving dinner in Heaven. We remembered places, pumpkin pies that didn’t cook so well, and times when there were so many relatives at the Thanksgiving table at the old Mabey Homestead, Mom would pray that the turkey would suffice. Miraculously, it always did. None of us knew it at the time, but that would be Mom’s last Thanksgiving meal. When they replaced Mom’s Aortic Valve, the surgeons did not properly align it and Mom died from a slowly leaking heart valve. Mom went Home to be with the Lord on the twenty-third of December, that following month, just last year. I don’t
Mom, my sister Patti and myself, on Mom’s 80th birthday.
think a day goes by that I don’t think of my mom. Life is so very short. None of us have any guarantees for tomorrow. I live in a 55 plus, gated community in Central Florida. Because I worked as a Security Guard, for eight years, I have been blessed to come to know quite a few people. Whenever I hear someone say that they have stopped talking to a loved one, it brings a certain sadness to my heart. Believe it or not, I have even heard a few people in my church talk like this. It deeply saddens me. I think there are three elements to having good relationships with loved ones. Those three things are: forgive, forgive again, and forgive yet again. If your Mom is still on this side of Heaven’s Gate, tell her how much you love her. I wish I could mine. Richard Mabey Jr. is a freelance writer. He can be reached at richardmabeyjr@hotmail.com.

Dental Digest - Dental Implants: I Need Them, But Can’t Afford Them. What Do I Do?
D
Ira Goldberg, DDS, FAGD, DICOI, DABOI/ID ental implants can be a significant financial investment. I hear quite often, “I can’t afford dental implants, but I know I need them. What are my options?” The first time I will hear this regarding dental implants is when a person comes to me for help. After listening to what their particular issues are, we’ll present multiple choices. Some include implants, while some don’t. We’ll get to that later. Depending upon the problems, a person might require just one implant. Other people may need multiple implants. Still others might need adjunctive procedures, such as gum or bone grafting. And yet others might need a complex rehabilitation of a full mouth. As you can guess, all of these situations will have different price ranges, so it is impossible to tell you, the reader, what someone’s final number is going to be within this article. Most people will look at the overall fee. This makes sense: we all want to know what the bottom line is going to be. However, with dental implants, treatment can be spread out over time. For example, if your overall financial investment is $5,000, that does not have to be paid all at once. It could be broken up into 3 phases of treatment,
spread over 8 months. These Phases of Treatment make the dental implant procedure much more affordable. Healthcare financing is also available. Depending upon your credit history, your overall financial investment, and a few other factors, oftentimes treatment can be spread over a few months up to several years! Do you own your own home? If so, a home equity line of credit is something many people don’t think about. However, this is something to consider. You’ll have a very low interest rate, and no-to-low penalties of you skip a payment. You should talk to your own financial adviser about this. Let’s face it: Some people simply won’t be able to afford dental implants. It is unfortunately a reality at times. But don’t despair! Alternatives always exist, such a partial dentures, full dentures, bridges, and mini-implants. Mini-implants are narrower implants than standard implants. You gain a lower price-point, but have to trade off a higher risk of complications. For those of you who have a full denture and find it terribly uncomfortable, you could consider an “overdenture.” This is a denture that will snap onto implants. You gain the stability that implants can provide, but you will still have a denture that you will need to take
in and out of your mouth. I do hope this article has provide you with some financial hope. I realize I’ve mentioned a number of different options. My website is full of patient information sheets regarding may of these topics, so feel free to peruse them.

100 Year Old Pianist Boosts Spirits With His Beautiful Music
E
by Elsie Walker ach Saturday, Henry “Hank” Shapiro sits down to play the piano in his daughter and son-in-law’s Mine Hill home. Shapiro has played at many venues during his 92 years at the piano, but his latest is far different than the rest. Through live-streaming on his Facebook page (Henry Shapiro), people as far away as the Netherlands and Australia have been able to enjoy his music, at a time when much of the world could use a little boost and forget Covid 19 for a while. Recently, Shapiro, who celebrated his 100th birthday on September 13th, his daughter, and some fans shared some of the pianist’s background, how he got into playing his Saturday concerts, and what that music has meant to people. Shapiro grew up in the Dover area and started taking piano lessons when he was five. His daughter, Rosalind Lynch, shared some further biographical information on her father’s piano studies. “He studied with a number of teachers, some local and some in New York. He studied classical piano, ragtime, jazz improvisation, writing and arranging music and piano technique. To study piano technique, he went to Manhattan to study with Herman Wasserman, George Gershwin’s musical arranger.” Lynch said. Coincidently, Shapiro will tell you that
he loves to play Gershwin’s music, noting that Gershwin did a number of Broadway musicals. Shapiro’s first paid gig was at Gearhardt’s on Lake Hopatcong in Woodport; he was paid 75 cents a night. By the time he was 16, he had his own band which played at popular dance clubs in northern New Jersey, many of which were around the Lake Hopatcong and Budd Lake areas. World War II came and after serving (the only gap in playing piano), Shapiro returned to the family business: Shapiro’s Modern Economy Store in Dover. He was married, having wed his high school sweetheart, Doris, before being deployed in the war. Even though he worked at the store, “music was what I wanted to do,” he said. He played at various venues nights and weekends; he played restaurants and dance halls in Morris and Sussex counties, rather than trudge into New York. He credits his passion for music with helping him to put four kids through college. Shapiro also noted that he lived for many years in Florida. There, he continued to play and especially loved playing the grand pianos at the country clubs. Returning to New Jersey, he added to his usual venues, assisted living and nursing homes, and performing concerts for local libraries and
historical societies. “I’ve made some wonderful, wonderful friends through the music business. Having friends is extremely important,” Shapiro said After surgery in February, Shapiro he stayed at his daughter and son-in-law’s home to recuperate. They were the ones who suggested the online concerts. Now, although he’s moved back to his home in Wharton, he continues to go to their home in Mine Hill to do the live stream concerts. His concerts include Broadway show tunes and popular songs from decades past. When asked how he feels playing in front of what is probably his largest audience ever, Shapiro said, he doesn’t even think about how many virtual eyes are on him. “I just concentrate on the music and playing,” he said. While Shapiro said he does not keep track of things like “views”, his daughter and son-in-law do. Lynch shared that during the “‘live’ time and a half hour later, he gets about 350 views or higher. The total views run between 2500 and 8000, the highest [being] on his birthday.” “[I] always look forward to seeing Hank on Saturday at 5pm. We really miss going to his gigs. He is a bright star in this sometimes dull life these days. He is a definite inspiration to all who know him and enjoy listening to his
fantastic gift he shares with us all,” said fan Kay Avers of Lake Hopatcong. Fan Barbara Repp of Netcong said, “I love having Hank Shapiro share his music online. We are able to listen to him every week, and we don’t have to go anyplace to hear him. Hearing him ‘live’ is nice, but in some ways online is even nicer. I’ve shared the information with several friends who have also become listeners. If you happen to be busy at 5 p.m. on Saturday, you can always go back and listen at another time. Listening to Hank is the highlight of my weekend!” Many treasure Shapiro and that has been reflected locally, in his recent election to the Dover High School Hall of Fame. To catch one of Hank’s concerts, visit his Facebook page at Henry Shapiro.

Staying Healthy During a Global Pandemic
midst a global pandemic (and as we approach the colder months), it is more important now than ever to keep your immune system strong. By improving your immune system, otherwise known as your body’s own defense system, you can help to prevent unwanted illness. With the emergence of COVID-19, we have all been conditioned to wear masks, keep safe distancing and wash our hands regularly, but what else can you do to improve your immune health? Believe it or not, Acupuncture is one way to give your immune system a boost! Research has shown that Acupuncture can help to improve immune health in various ways including the following: • Increases Red and White blood cells as well as T-Cells (all essential to immune health) • Increases levels of Interferon ( the immune systems messenger hormone) • Increases blood and lymph circulation • Reduces stress hormones • Reduces inflammation
In addition to Acupuncture, here are some other ways you can enhance your immune health: • Get adequate sleep. Your body heals while you sleep and if you are overworked or overtired, your body is less likely to fight pathogens it comes into contact with. • Eat plenty of vegetables and fruits. Fruits and veg-
gies contain nutrients and antioxidants that your body needs to function optimally. • Avoid sugar and junk food. One study revealed that immune cells were paralyzed for 30 minutes following the consumption of sugar! If your immune cells are taking a break, how will your body fight pathogens?? • Exercise! Not only can physical activity help to flush out pathogens, but exercise helps to circulate lymph, White Blood Cell’s and Antibodies (all major players in your body’s defense system). Manage Stress with Acupuncture and Meditation! Your body is more susceptible to infection when stressed. Keep those stress hormones down! Continue following CDC guidelines! For more information on Acupuncture and immune support call Mount Olive Acupuncture and Wellness 973.537.7978 or visit us at www.mtoliveacupuncture. com. We are taking extra precautions during this pandemic to keep everyone safe! *Mount Olive Acupuncture does not claim to prevent, treat or cure any disease.

Diabetes in New Jersey: A Statewide Concern
A
Written By Chris Bauer MD re you constantly thirsty, always tired, having frequent urination or blurry vision? You might have type 2 diabetes. Type 2 diabetes affects 9.2% of all people in New Jersey with over 640,000 people living with diabetes statewide. Most new diagnosis of type 2 diabetes are asymptomatic and only 10% of new cases are type I diabetes infections. Diabetes represents one of the most significant health concerns that faces so many members of our community. The majority of diabetes cases fall in either a type 1, type 2 or gestational diabetes category. Diabetes type 1 is a condition that is more autoimmune based and is one in which your body does not make insulin. Insulin breaks down sugar in your blood and regulates your blood glucose levels. Type 2 diabetes is when your body is making insulin but the tissue and organs in your body are less sensitive to insulin and as a result blood glucose levels are elevated. Often type 2 diabetes
is associated with increased weight gain and obesity. Gestational diabetes is when pregnant women have an elevated blood sugar levels due to hormones that are made in the placenta. The most common way that any of the diabetic conditions are diagnosed is through routine doctor visits. This is true because again most cases of diabetes are asymptomatic. When people are symptomatic and having elevated glucose levels the diagnosis of diabetes can be easily made. Most often though the diagnosis of diabetes is made through standard screening tests. A fasting blood glucose test, a 2-hour plasma glucose test and an elevated Hemoglobin A1C level are all tests used to diagnose diabetes. Regularly scheduled annual exams at a family medicine or internal medicine doctor’s office can facilitate the testing for diabetes. After a diagnosis of diabetes has been made, the patient and the doctor then continued on page 7

continued from page 6 need to create to plan of management. If the person has type 1 diabetes, then often the patient will be given insulin. Insulin can be injected around mealtimes or at planned intervals during the day to maintain a person’s normal blood glucose levels. People with Type 2 Diabetes often can make lifestyle changes such as weight loss, improved diet, and increased activity to improve their blood glucose levels. If these methods don’t work, then patients can either be put on a trial of injectable insulin or an oral medication to increase the body’s response to insulin. Pregnant women diagnosed with gestational diabetes are initially tasked with diet control of blood glucose levels with improved diet and if this fails then medication is used. Patients with diabetes are at risk for many conditions and need to incorporate additional screenings into their daily routines to prevent further issues.
Increased risk of heart disease, nerve injury, eye disease and kidney disease are the most common types disease sequelae that are associated with diabetes. Eye injury is one of the most significant areas of injury in diabetic patients. People with diabetes are recommended to have regular eye exams to evaluate the possible formation of cataracts, glaucoma and vision impairment. Regular feet exams are also recommended due to the increased incidence of nerve injury with diabetes. Kidney function should also be evaluated and monitored closely in the patients with diabetes. This can be accomplished by bloodwork as well as urinary analysis. Diabetes is a multifaceted disease with a tremendous impact on those who have it. Only through regular screenings and adequate patient education can the harmful effects of diabetes be minimized. November is Diabetes Awareness Month, so schedule your annual wellness visit today with your medical provider.
Happy Thanksgiving!

Paige Monaghan: Soccer Is In Her Blood
A
By Jillian Risberg s far back as Paige Monaghan can remember, she has lived and breathed soccer. That love translated to an electrifying October performance from Roxbury’s own star forward, whose two goals and an assist earned her ‘Budweiser Woman of the Week’ as Sky Blue FC closed out their NWSL Fall Series campaign with a victory. “A home game with my team; a beautiful day in New Jersey, literally no complaints going in, we just clicked,” Monaghan says. She is proud of their success on the field, from the back to the front line and happy they were able to get it done. “I was thrilled (we) ended on a positive note because lots of championship games and hopefully we’ll be in those next year,” she says. The Woman of the Week accolades are the second of Monaghan’s career; in the 2019 season she scored a brace against Chicago. “I approach every game the same way but Chicago is a great team, I respect them, we know they’re going to come off strong technically every single time. So really it’s just one of those games you have to roll the sleeves up for,” says the forward, of getting into the groove with the Red Stars.
Let’s Connect!

Monaghan launched her soccer career right out of college. “I actually was at Butler (University) for 3 1/2 years. I did my four seasons — which is in the fall but graduated early, that way I can get drafted,” she says. “I was drafted in January, reported to Sky Blue in March and by then my school was complete.” That experience was everything. “The draft is incredible,” Monaghan says. “To go back — I was getting called into US camps and it started to become a reality that I was going to play professional soccer.” But she didn’t know if she was going to get drafted in the NWSL because it’s the best league in the world right now, according to the forward. “I really had a lot of uncertainty but I knew I wanted to play, so being at the draft and getting drafted #10 overall — I was shocked when they said my name,” says Monaghan. “It was definitely an honor and I was so excited to represent Butler, my family and to kick off my career in New Jersey and be a part of Sky Blue.” According to the forward, her rookie year had its ups and downs, which is expected. “But I really learned a lot and think I was fortunate that I just jelled immediately with the team and started making an impact right away,” she says.
And growing up in the Garden State, the forward had a fantastic foundation playing at Players Development Academy (PDA - the premier club in Somerset). “To play for them and for that Jersey grit is awesome,” Monaghan says. “I went away to Butler, which was a great experience in itself but there’s nothing like Jersey; that sense of pride being an East Coaster and just to be here and doing what I love in front of people I love everyday is simply incredible.” She always looked up to people like Carli Lloyd (Sky Blue FC midfielder/2x Olympic Gold Medalist/2x FIFA World Player of the Year), athletes and women athletes; even bought soccer ball backpacks and USA soccer memorabilia. “It’s something I’ve always been interested in,” says Monaghan. “In high school I was good but my parents taught me to never settle and to just keep chasing. “So if you told me then ‘you’re gonna be playing professional soccer with Carli Lloyd,’ I would have laughed because the closest I got to Carli Lloyd was a poster on my wall.” That led to a productive high school soccer run at Roxbury. “I wanted to excel and grow and I would miss things for soccer because that was my priority,” Monaghan says. She has such love for the sport.
As we celebrate Thanksgiving, I am thankful for all of you, my clients and friends. Thank you for placing your trust in me as your Realtor and giving me the pleasure of knowing you. Wishing you a blessed and
Happy Thanksgiving!

“It’s something you can get better at individually but when you click with your teammates, just like the game in Chicago — there’s nothing like it,” says Monaghan. “I’m surrounded by a lot of colorful humans both on and off the field. They are great people who are so selfless and work so hard every single day; I think it’s inspiring and means the world to me.” The forward cites her mom and sister as her source of inspiration. continued on page 10

continued from page 8 “They have been my cheerleaders, whether I was a deer in headlights on the soccer field or scoring goals, they have been there,” Monaghan says. “My family is my rock and I truly mean that,” she says. “Early on in my career I remember having a family meeting that I need PDA but it’s gonna take a lot of money and time and commitment.” Everyone, including Monaghan’s siblings, got on board — even when soccer tournaments became family vacations. “I still get choked up talking about it because for them to put my dream above anything else — and they’ve always been so happy and positive,” says the forward. And she also feels very fortunate for one of her Butler co-head coaches, Tari St. John. “Powerful, smart, intelligent, beautiful on the inside and out,” says Monaghan of St. John. “To have that in college was such a crucial role and to know that I could be unapologetically myself; she taught me to be that way.” As someone who has walked the walk, she encourages other young girls with a love of soccer to ‘believe in yourself.’ “I think we have this opportunity and we’re very lucky for that,” the forward says. “There are a lot of soccer programs available. I played for my town team all the
means I’m going back into the facility for some extra care or just on my own, rolling out ice baths, sometimes meetings, dinner and then we repeat.” She says a good athlete never lets themselves grow complacent. “I mean I did score a header in the last game but that’s one thing I want to get better at (in this off season),” the forward says. “Then off the field, I think there’s a lot that goes into it mentally. I want to be as mentally sharp and positive and focused as I can because it’s been such a heavy year.”
way up to eighth grade but for a long time I was just a kid who loved playing the game.” There will be people along the way who will say you’re not good enough but when you get opportunities ‘just go for it,’ says Monaghan. “Now I’m a professional soccer player getting interviewed,” she says. The forward’s days look like this: wake up at 7am, meal, stretch, head over to Red Bulls Practice Facility in Whippany, activation treatment, then training. “There’s a lot to do in preparation for an everyday, normal practice,” says Monaghan. “We train, come home, food, and then usually some more treatment. Whether that
When Monaghan has down time she heads back home to Roxbury. “Usually that entails my family and a cup of coffee sitting on the front porch,” she says. “Afternoon coffee time is a big thing in the Monaghan household, so that’s one of my favorite things to do —just being with them.” And what’s next for the soccer star? “I’m preparing for next season,” says Monaghan. “Just want to be the best player and the best teammate I can be — so a lot of soccer right now and hopefully for years to come.”

Roxbury High School Gaels Celebrate a 100+ Memorable Gridiron Years
A
By Steve Sears sk any Roxbury Gael football coach, player, or fan about the school’s glorious history. Find a seat first. What is set down here is minimal. You’ll need to sit a while and listen. There’s many a tale of relationship between coaches and players, and success on the field. John Lawry was a Gael quarterback in the mid-1950s. Nelson Gibble was the Head Coach, and his Assistant was Bob Schiffner, who would assume the helm a few years later. “Back then we played Butler, Dover, Hackettstown, Morris Hills, Bernardsville,” Lawry says. “We were competitive; we enjoyed it.” “Enjoyed” is the apropos word. “For me, it was a great experience,” says Bill D’Ottavio, who quarterbacked the Gaels in the early 80’s and echoes Lawry’s words. “When you’re a kid growing up in the town, at least for me being a sports guy and having gone to Roxbury football games since I was old enough to remember, that was in the forefront of your mind growing up.” “I played for Bob Schiffner,” says Bob Morgan, a two-time All-Morris selection in football, who was the starting quarterback when the 1959 team won the school’s third
state championship. “The best. Great coach and great person.” He then adds, “You have to have people who care, and want to make them (the players) better. That’s the story of Roxbury football.” Indeed. 1913 was the first season, and the initial game was 7 – 0 loss to Newton. In 1926, led by Coach J.B. Shambaugh, Roxbury won its first Class ‘C’ Regional title, and repeated that success in 1928 team with Robert Mohor at the helm. Ralph S. “Mose” Barkman, who played in the 1920s, owns the school record for the longest run from scrimmage. In the early 1930s, Roxbury won five consecutive County Class ‘B’ Championships, highlighted by the school’s only undefeated season in 1934. First team all-stater Charlie Treloar led the way and won the Morris County scoring title. The club next won a Morris County Championship in 1942. Bill Tardive excelled on the gridiron for the Gaels in the early 50s, and he and his brothers, Dominick and Vince, in 1958 established the 7th and 8th grade Roxbury Colts junior football program, buttressing Roxbury Gael football success for the future. Gerry Tardive played for both Schiffner and Toby Barkman (Ralph Barkman’s son)
Coach Jim Fiorello with Rich Zalansky, 1973.
at Roxbury in the late 60s. “Besides being outstanding football people, they taught you the right things,” he says. “They bult such an interest in me that I went on to coach (at Dover High School) myself for many years. Bob Schiffner, Toby Barkman, and Jim Fiorello, who became the head coach – those guys were a big influence on me.” Barkman, a starter on the 1959 State

Championship team who went on to play football at East Stroudsburg University, coached Roxbury from 1967-72, garnering a 42 – 10 -2 and three Iron Area Conference titles. Fiorello was named Head coach in 1973, and through 1990, amassed 100 wins, becoming winningest head coach in the program’s 108 years. “I’m going to tell you continued on page 13

continued from page 12 why,” he says of his record. “I had some very good assistant coaches. You can’t do it yourself. Bob Schiffner, who gave me my first chance at Roxbury – Toby (Barkman) and I were both his assistants – he gave us responsibility. He trusted us. He believed in us.” Then there were his players. “That was part of the success there; we had a lot of great players.”
Roxbury in 1973 won the Iron Area Conference championship with an 8 -1 record. A stingy defense yielded just 22 points, while the Gael offense exploded for over 200. Len Perfetti and Dave Bennett (who scored 5 touchdowns in one game) were among the stars. Bennett was a first team All-Morris County, All-Group 3, and all-State selection in both 1972 and 1973, and won the Morris County scoring title in continued on page 14

100+ Memorable Gridiron Years... continued from page 13 1973. Perfetti was captain and both a first team all-Morris County and all-Group 3 selection that same year. Alan Andrews and Richard Spitzer led Fiorello’s 1978 squad to its first Iron Hills Conference-Iron Division title. Andrews was an All-Morris County selection as a junior and senior and an All-State selection as a senior, and Spitzer a first team allstate lineman in 1978. After both attended Rutgers, Andrews was drafted by the National Football League’s Pittsburgh Steelers, and Spitzer signed professional contracts with the Seattle Seahawks of the NFL and Pittsburgh Maulers of the United States Football League. Roxbury advanced to the state tournament finals in 1986 and 1987, losing twice to the Union Farmers. 1988 graduate, tight end Dave Moore, who was an all-Area selection whose number was the first retired in Roxbury sports history, would play for 16 seasons in the National Football League, mostly with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. John Quinn’s 1998 club finished with a record of 10 – 2, and shocked #3 ranked Plainfield, 7-6, in the Section 2, Group 4 state finals at Giants Stadium, and 2002
marked Head Coach Cosmo Lorusso’s first year in Roxbury, when the Gaels made the sectional semi-finals and finished as Iron Hills Conference -Iron Division TriChampions. 2009 was another big year. Led by junior all-stater Angelo Mangiro, Roxbury claimed the first ever Northwest Jersey Athletic Conference-American Division championship, defeat East Orange Campus, 14 – 6, in the state sectional championship. “They were a phenomenal group to watch and learn from. We had one goal: to do the same thing,” says fullback Donald Panciello, who as a freshman played for that 2009 team that finished with a school record 11 wins. It set the tone for he and his classmates, who would mirror the feat in 2012, Roxbury’s 100th gridiron year. The 11–1 season was capped with a 14–6 victory over Pascack Valley High School in the North I Group IV finals at Kean University. “I still talk about it with my buddies,” he says. “We know we had the talent and the guys who cared enough. It kind of all came together.” Kevin Spitzer, who created the “ Roxbury Football 100 Years” Facebook page, and played football along with his brothers at Roxbury, sums it up. “Roxbury has produced great football teams and players who came

Women’s Suffrage Celebrates Centennial
T
By Henry M. Holden he U.S Constitution originally left it up to the states to determine who is qualified to vote in elections. In the early years of our nation, states typically limited the right to vote to “freeholders” which were defined as persons who owned land (men) worth a certain amount of money. It was thought that people who did not own property would have no permanent stake in the community. The campaign for woman suffrage was long, difficult, dramatic, and at times heart breaking. Decades of effort to include African American and other minority women in the promise of voting rights remained the challenge. Voting rights for women and racial minorities were unheard of. But the devil is in the details. Most African Americans were slaves, owned by their white masters, and could not vote. Several states, however, allowed free blacks to vote. Most women could not vote, but in a number of venues, qualified women voted in local elections. In 1776, the New Jersey Constitution provided that “all inhabitants” of legal age who made the property and residency requirements were entitled to vote. It is unclear if it was intended to include women.
By 1790, state election law used the phrase he or she, to clarify the issue. By 1807, with allegations that men were dressing as women, and voting twice, the right of women to vote in New Jersey was revoked. For the next 30 years women’s suffrage was not taken seriously by lawmakers. Women organized, petitioned, and picketed to win the right to vote, but their struggle took decades to accomplish their purpose. Few early supporters lived to see final victory. The Seneca Falls Convention, in 1848, was the first women’s rights convention in the United States. The meeting launched the women’s suffrage movement. Elizabeth Cady Stanton wrote the Declaration of Sentiments, at the convention and it led to many other women’s rights conventions. By the mid-19th century, woman suffrage supporters lectured, wrote, marched, lobbied, and practiced civil disobedience to achieve what many Americans considered a sweeping change of the Constitution. In 1872, the first Presidential election since the ratification of the Fourteenth Amendment (1868), was a call to action for suffragists. Susan B. Anthony argued that

the Fourteenth Amendment’s Privileges or Immunities Clause forbid any state from making or enforcing any law that abridged the privileges or immunities of its citizens. Women had always been citizens; and the privileges or immunities clause therefore
conferred on women the right to vote, Anthony argued. When Anthony tried to vote, to her surprise, she was permitted to do so. Her victory was, shallow. Two weeks after the continued on page 20

Women’s Suffrage... continued from page 16 election she was arrested for illegal voting. Despite her argument about the significance of the Fourteenth Amendment, she was convicted. In 1878, the suffrage amendment was first introduced in Congress. It would be introduced to each congress for the next 41 sessions. Women worked tirelessly, but strategies for achieving their goal varied. Some pursued a strategy of passing suffrage acts in each state. Early in the 20th century, women were only able to vote in nine western states which adopted woman suffrage legislation by 1912. Others challenged male-only voting laws in the courts. Some suffragists used confrontational tactics such as picketing, silent vigils, and hunger strikes. Usually supporters met angry resistance. Opponents heckled, jailed, and sometimes physically abused them. By 1916, almost all of the major suffrage organizations were united behind the goal of a constitutional amendment. When New York adopted woman suffrage in 1917, and President Wilson changed his position to
support an amendment in 1918, the political balance shifted. On May 21, 1919, the House of Representatives passed the amendment, and two weeks later, the Senate followed. Momentum rippled through the states. In July 1920, all eyes were on the Tennessee capital, Nashville, as anti-and pro suffragist each lobbied for the vision of a socially evolving United States. One more state was needed to ratify the proposed amendment and that duty rested solely on the shoulders of Tennessee. It passed by one vote, cast by a 25-year old legislator named Harry Burn, whose mother had urged him to do the right thing. When Tennessee became the 36th state to ratify the amendment on August 18, 1920, the amendment passed its final challenge of obtaining the agreement of threefourths of the states. Secretary of State, Bainbridge Colby, certified the ratification on August 26, 1920. The ratification was a transformative moment in America, changing the face of the American electorate forever.

SNAP (Special Needs Athletic Programs) of Morristown Celebrates Its 15th Year
S
By Steve Sears NAP (Special Needs Athletic Programs) of Morristown has been doing good for 15 years. “We may be in Morristown, but we have never turned anyone down. We have participants and mentors that come from all over Morris County,” says Kimberlee Strasser, SNAP program coordinator. “Which kind of goes along with our theme that we are very inclusive, and accepting, and we would never turn anybody down.” SNAP was created in 2006 by brothers Matt and Zach Certner when they were in high school. It enables special needs kids to enjoy the camaraderie of sports. Matt was a sophomore in high school, was athletic, knew someone who had special needs, and realized that even though he himself personally had athletic programs to engage in, the other individual had no place to turn to after school. Rounding up some of his basketball buddies, they got together with the special needs person, who then got his own friends involved. “SNAP was basically born as a result of him wanting to make this equal,” says Photo courtesy of SNAP Strasser. In the beginning, SNAP was a nightly occurrence. Many volunteers took part in yoga, arts & crafts, swimming, and more, and then Matt went off to college and his brother, Zach, took the reins, and he brought on an educational piece focusing on awareness of special needs. When Zach when off to college, Matt and

Zach’s mom, Sandy, asked Kimberlee is she’d like to take over the program, which is now a once-aweek event. Strasser, who is fond of the awareness portion of the program especially because she is a mom to a 24-year-old son with severe autism, but also taught special education and first grade, hopped on board. “Getting out into the schools,” she says, “and teaching the kids what autism is, teaching the kids what different disabilities are.” The latter is started in third grade, where there are four different stations at which students are taught about the different disabilities. “They (the kids) get to feel what it’s like to be different.” Strasser cites outstanding student mentors that take part in the program, one of which is junior Alex Grayzel of Morristown Beard High School. “I’ve been with the program for four years, and I’m now one of the head mentors of the program,” he says. “The reason why I love SNAP is because I get to play and bond with kids who have special needs who might not get that chance outside of SNAP. Seeing all the kids laughing and smiling while playing makes me really happy and that’s why I participate in the program. I dedicate my time to help set up and run the program and I can say that it’s well worth it. Not only has Mrs. Strasser taught me valuable lessons and skills during my time with the program, but SNAP as a whole has taught me so much. Giving back to the community is something I love doing and I think SNAP is a great way to do that.” Parents who take their special needs kids to SNAP clinics also enjoy a little down time in the “Peace for Parents” room, which was devised by Strasser’s daughter, Kylee. “That particular program was created by my daughter,” says Strasser, “and she created it probably because of me. She realizes that parents like me get very little down time, and she wanted these parents that were bringing their kids to have a more quality down time. Instead of sitting on the gym floor watching their kids play sports, she wanted to give them comfortable seating in their own space and soft music and snacks – let them really relax during this very short period of time during the week.” For now, SNAP has gone virtual, which Strasser says often excludes the severely handicapped. “It’s not the same with the ZOOM sessions,” says Strasser. “Playing bingo and charades on a screen is really for the more able children; those are the ones signing up.” She is attempting to develop a way to do ZOOM session that could include physical activity for the kids that are looking for that. “I love this program,” says Strasser. “I love what it’s doing for our community. Just to have the community rallying for SNAP and talking about it is all I could really ask for.” Visit www.snapclinics.org.

Back to the Roots: Meet The Sharing Project
W
By Alexandra Churikova hat can a group of high school students do to help their community in need during times of uncertainty? When the COVID-19 pandemic hit, the situation of many families in the local neighborhoods took an unexpected turn. One group of local high school volunteers spearheaded The Sharing Project, an initiative at the intersection of community support and sustainability, to help families in need who have been impacted by the pandemic. The goal is simple—cultivate healthy, organic produce, and offer the harvest to affected families and individuals. To this group of young volunteers, it was not only a way to reach out and lend a helping hand—but also to be closer to the earth and understand the farm-to-table process, by collaborating with local growers and tending to the gardens themselves. At the roots of the project is an ambitious goal of one student founder, and the collaborative effort of a lasting friendship. Matthew Borinshteyn, a senior at West Morris Mendham High School (WMMHS), founded the The Sharing Project in early 2020, with classmate Matthew Goldgirsh. The two reached out to local food pantries and the school garden supervisor to jumpstart the project. They secured additional produce for distribution from farmers and local gardeners to and gained guidance on the best harvest for the upcoming season. The efforts did not stop at their private gardens. As the project became more wellknown, residents started reaching out with ideas and suggestions. With the help of Mendham resident Carol Hunsicker, the two learned essential gardening skills and obtained two plots of land in the Chester Community Garden and the Ironia Elementary School garden (Randolph). They were soon partnering with the Garden of Hope at the Community of St. John Baptist and gathered a team of student volunteers to help tend to the six gardens, raise funds, and deliver the produce. By June the team donated fresh produce as often as once a week during peak harvest in August and early September, supplying several hundreds of pounds of produce to Chester Mendham Food Pantry (CMFP) pantry (about 50 families) and 26 pounds to the Interfaith Food Pantry. The founders plan to expand the project to be able to feed families from both pantries next year. “The most rewarding part of the initiative for me was when we donated our produce to the CMFP and I got to see firsthand how our hard work paid off and helped the community,” says Goldgirsh. For Borinshteyn, the entire garden-to-ta-
ble process is a source of motivation to escalate the team efforts. “I have learned a lot about growing different plants and how to grow the best and most plentiful produce in the space we are given,” he says, “I believe that this is the beginning of a long-lasting partnership of students, the gardening community, and food pantries to help provide healthy produce for families in need.” For the core team of nine student volunteers, meeting up at the gardens has become a routine pastime despite the uncertainty of the pandemic. With social distancing easily maintained at the gardens, the teams of volunteers learned to efficiently take care of the crops, sometimes with help from their family members. During warm summer months, the volunteers tended to the gardens as often as every other day to maintain a frequent watering schedule. “I learned a lot about gardening, including the processes and handwork that’s dedicated to taking care of the plants,” says volunteer William Wang, a senior at WMMHS, “Witnessing the plants grow is a very accomplishing feel.” The aspect of sustainability and health also drew student volunteers to the cause. The produce, grown mostly from heirloom seedlings, is cultivated by hand with zero pesticides. “I understand the importance of organic produce more than ever,” says Michael Churikov, a senior in Morris Knolls High School who oversees the garden at Chester, “New technology is making way for more GMO and processed foods but growing organic fresh produce in a local garden is an important step to keeping our local communities healthy.” The original goal of the project was just that—help ensure healthy nutrition to those who are struggling by cultivating a closer connection to the earth. Keeping the momentum alive through fundraising involves teamwork. The volunteers sold vegetable seedlings and plants and ran bake and t-shirt sales to raise funds for their work. “Throughout the project I have learned to communicate well with strangers to promote our cause, such as during the fundraisers,” says volunteer Geervan Bhattacharjee, a senior at WMMHS, who is managing the plants at the Hunsicker garden with his brother Gairick. The team was able to raise over $1,000 for covering the costs of fresh produce purchases from farmers during planting season, gardening supplies, and developing the project to the next level. What’s next for The Sharing Project? Having collected and donated a successful harvest, even bigger goals are ahead for the team. More volunteers have already
joined to help build a new dedicated The Sharing Project garden as well as ensure the continuity of the effort after the current volunteers enroll in college next year. Borinshteyn plans to register the project as a non-profit organization and release a cookbook of healthy recipes for use with locally grown produce. The Sharing Project is more than just an extracurricular activity for these student
volunteers. It has become a way of life which involves collaboration and patience. Waiting for the vegetables to sprout and grow, cultivating them, tending to them, and finally delivering the ripe and delicious tomatoes, cucumbers, zucchini, lettuce, squash—even watermelon!—and many more to the families in need… it is a simple process, and teaches us to be closer to the earth, and to each other.

Morris County Author Cites Life Experiences for His Voice and Style
M
By Steve Sears orris County author Steven Max Russo, now 61, started writing fiction seriously when he reached his mid-50s. “In my case,” he explains, “I think that my life experience has helped me discover my inner writing “voice” and style. I’m not sure I would have had the patience, confidence, or determination to start and finish a novel in my earlier years.” Russo, who runs a small, virtual agency in Morris County called Moonlight Advertising, has written and published two novels, Thieves and The Dead Don’t Sleep. For Russo, writing novels is a totally different realm. “Advertising is business. I don’t look at writing novels as a business at all – at least not yet. Maybe at some point in my career I will.” There is good news regarding his second release. “A company out of LA called Scenario that has worked with many high-profile Academy Award winning directors and films recently optioned my second novel, The Dead Don’t Sleep, for film. Perhaps if that book actually gets made into a movie (and if the movie is commercially successful) then things will change. But until that time, I look at novel writing as something I do more for fun than anything else.” Russo’s foray into fiction, which evolved out of what he calls “creative frustration,” started with a short story titled “Putting in the Work”. “While I enjoy what I do,” he says, “writing advertising is actually the art of solving business and marketing problems with words and pictures – selling a product or service, announcing business or corporate news, developing a market positioning, explaining product benefits, etc.” Writing the short story was his chance to write just for fun. “I was able to write whatever came into my head. I didn’t have to do it, but felt compelled to, like I had to get something out of my system.” Feeling “Putting in the Work” had merit, Russo submitted his story to The Rag, a small literary journal which was looking for short story submissions. “Two weeks later I received word that they had accepted the story. Unbeknownst to me, they were putting together an issue dealing with death and the macabre and my story fit right in. I was elated! They liked my story and actually paid me for it.” Being a paid, professional author thrilled him, but further fuel for his aspirations occurred during a walk and ensuing discussion on a Florida beach with his wife of 23 years, Susan. “We were walking
along the beach talking about our eventual retirement,” Russo recalls. “I said almost jokingly that I would never retire. I was now a professional author and could always say that I was hard at work on a novel. She looked at me in all seriousness and said, ‘Why wait until you retire?’ It was like a light bulb going off in my head. Why wait, indeed?! The very week we returned I began work on my first novel, titled Thieves. Three months later the first draft was finished.” Russo, who does most of his novel writing at night and on weekends, doesn’t work from an outline, instead starting with a first sentence and taking the story from there. “Sometimes it flows and sometimes it sputters,” he says. “I’ve spent time typing furiously thinking I’ve been at it for an hour or so and look up to find I’ve been writing for 5 or 6 hours straight. Other times, I sit and stare at my computer screen and have to walk away and do something else because I have no idea of where to go with the story next. It’s not always easy, but it is always fun.” Russo’s advice to all writers starting out is to believe in yourself and your writing, and never give up. “This business is full of rejection,” he says. “Everybody tells you that they are an expert and know better than you do, and many, many doors will slam in your face. My advice is to be openminded, listen to criticism, but also to never, ever give up.” And while publication of his works is significant, perhaps his highest reward is seeing one of his books on a library shelf. “The day the Morris County Library System accepted my first novel into their catalog has got to be one of the highlights of my writing career.” He then adds, “Being offered that movie option wasn’t bad either!!” For more information about Russo and his career, visit www.stevenmaxrussobooks. com.

Bea McNally’s Under New Ownership
estaurant Village Hospitality Group owners, Steve and Andrea Bussel, opening and operating a restaurant is no new game for them. The couple also own Long Valley Brew Pub, OMG Burger and Brew, and White Birch, with Chef Sam Freund and Lakeside Tavern. White Birch recently received a liquor license and is operating a full bar and was just voted in the top 30 best restaurants in NJ. They’ve now added Bea McNally’s in Hackettstown to the list. “I’ve always enjoyed the Real Estate business, but after many years in the business, Andrea and I decided the Restaurant Industry would be an interesting challenge. We both love Restaurants and decided to try our hand in it. We are delighted when our customers have great food, great service, and a fun atmosphere” The history of the building which houses Bea McNally’s is an interesting one. What started out originally as The Clarendon Hotel, the hotel changed hands frequently throughout the years of 1872 to 1970.
Within that hundred-year history, the name had changed many times from The Clarendon Hotel, to the Hackettstown Inn, to the Temperance Hotel. In 1974, United Jersey Bank proposed to raze the hotel and build a parking lot. Due to public outcry, the building was ultimately saved before it opened as a Charlie Brown’s in the early 2000s. After much renovations during the closure of Charlie Brown’s, Bea McNally’s was officially open for business. Now under new ownership and management, the Bussel’s have now reinvented the restaurant, and opened for business in late October. The Irish Pub, located at 109 Grand Ave, Hackettstown, features traditional Irish fare (think stew, fish and chips, shepherd’s pie), but also burgers, steaks, pastas, and salads. The restaurant is open Mon thru Thurs, 11:30am to 10:00pm, Fri and Sat, 11:30 to midnight, Sun, 11:30am to 9:00 pm. For more information, visit www. beamcnallys.com

NJStarz Tess Feury Hometown: Denville, NJ
D
By Steve Sears enville resident and rugby star, Tess Feury, remembers the moment distinctly. “I had given so much time and effort,” she excitedly recalls, “and the first time I got to jog onto that field in the USA jersey at the World Cup in Ireland, and my family was in the stands, it was really an indescribable feeling – just like pure joy.” “Pure joy.” Those two words define Feury and the life she has lived. You both hear it in and feel it from her voice. Feury, who was just 18 years old that day in Ireland, is 24 now and a full-time registered nurse at Morristown Medical Center. “Back in March, April, and May it was definitely busy,” she says, referring to the COVID19 pandemic. “It’ definitely slowed down now, but those first couple of months were very busy.” Feury, in addition to playing rugby since age four, also started playing soccer for the Denville Diamonds at the same age, ran track, and even played in the township basketball league. However, it’s rugby for which she is famed, and a lot of that credit goes to her dad, who played rugby while attending Rutgers University. He then started a family and he played for the Morris Rugby Club men’s team. “He said, ‘I want my kids to play rugby,’ so he started a youth flag rugby program (called the Denville Dawgs) in Denville, which I think now has expanded to almost ten towns,” Feury says. Tom Feury indeed sowed the seed of a sport he loved in his daughter’s heart, and her mom, KJ, planted the healthcare seed. “She never actually played rugby,” Feury says, “but with her nurse practitioner background, she’s been like the athletic trainer.” Her older brother, Blaze, played rugby at Penn State, and middle brother, Jake, is a member of Rugby United New York in the Major League Rugby men’s league. He was also both a high Tess Feury playing for the USA Junior All American Team - RJ Photography school and college All-American at Delbarton in Morristown and Middlebury College in Vermont. For Feury, her childhood is a memorable one. “I absolutely loved growing up in Denville. I love Denville so much. I have my best friends, all the ones I met playing sports in Denville as little kids. I just think that Denville has such a good community feel. I feel like all through my rugby, I feel like all the things I have accomplished, they have supported me through the whole experience.” Denville Dawgs in the summer was tops. “It’s co-ed, and there’s not many co-ed sports for youths. That was in the summer, it was only eight weeks, it was just like very free-spirited and fun. It was a great way to meet other people and kids in town. It was awesome.” Flag rugby came to an end when Feury was 14. Because her high school, Villa Walsh Academy, didn’t offer a rugby program, she proceeded to the next realm, the sport’s tackle version, for the Morris Rugby Club – but in her sophomore year of high school. She explains. “To be honest, I didn’t want to go on to play tackle. I was convinced that I wanted to keep playing soccer and give up the rugby thing, and I didn’t actually play rugby my freshman year of high school.” She attended games and the realization hit that she had given up something she had learned to love. “I realized that I was so lucky to play such an amazing sport at such a young age, and why would I give that up?” The transition wasn’t that difficult, and her two older brothers are partly to thank. “They roughed me up a bit,” she says with a chuckle. When Feury was 18, she was named to the high school All-American team (“The first big thing in the USA level that I had accomplished, and it was really exciting,” she says), and she realized that she could go further in the sport. “The friends I’d make from across the country, the places that I could travel, all of that kind of set my mind that I wanted to do this – play at the highest level that I can.” She continued to ascend towards the apex. After her senior year of 2014, Feury captained the United States Girls team at the 2014 Summer Youth Olympics in Nanjing, China, and then was named a member of the Women’s Junior All-American team. “I spent a month over there (in China),” she recalls. “That was a very cool experience because that wasn’t just a rugby event; there were other sports, athletes from all over the world. And by the end of that year I was named to the Junior All-American team. I kind of graduated my way up from the high school All-American team, and that was also the year, that fall, that I started at Penn State.” What did that year of accolades showered upon her do for or to her? “Senior year of high school was awesome. Because I was so lucky to start playing rugby so young, I feel like through high school I was kind of forced into a leadership position. I was forced to be a leader from a young age; I was forced to develop those characteristics. The mental strength a leader should have, the communication they have to have, that undoubtably set me up for success – especially leading into that senior year. That senior year I was on Cloud 9. It just can’t get any better,” she says. “I had the amazing support of my family, and I had another four years of college to look forward to.” A young Tess Feury – KJ Feury continued on page

continued from page Feury wanted three things in a college: strong nursing and rugby programs, and a school that would give her a ‘college experience.’ Penn State was the perfect fit. “It was funny,” she says, “because when I was talking to the rugby coach at Penn State and said I wanted to be a nurse he said, ‘Oh, we’ve never actually had a nursing major on our team before.’ And I was like, ‘I don’t know if that’s good or bad,’” she recalls with a chuckle. It was incredibly good. The nursing program was a competitive one which required much of Feury’s time, but she was determined and had her eye on the profession she had desired since she was young. Doing rugby and school, however, was a challenge. “I had to prioritize my time. There were times I missed team workouts and had to do them on my own. I really had to have open communication with my professors. Every weekend we’d be leaving for our games and we would leave on Friday and I’d miss all of my Friday classes. For most athletes, they’re able to work around that, but for nursing, the curriculum is pretty heavy. My professors kind of saw my aspirations with rugby and were able to work with me, which was great.” “I didn’t sit down a lot,” she adds. “I was either playing rugby, studying, or
socializing, because I didn’t want to miss out on my four years, either.” While at Penn State, Feury played for the United States in the Women’s SuperSeries in Utah, and then also, as previously mentioned, played a year later for the United States Eagles in the 2017 World Cup. She was a collegiate All-American all four years there for national champion Penn State, and in her freshman season, she was named Most Valuable Player in the national championship game. The air in that Cloud 9 had not dissipated. Feury’s peak, of course, was stepping onto the field to take part in the World Cup. “The World Cup really left me speechless. It was something that – playing at that level – I had set up a goal for myself early. It was not an easy road. When I was in high school and early in college, I was one of the few TTess Feury playing for Penn State – KJ Feury girls who had a lot of rugby experience. So, I kind of took those leadership positions, Club of the USA Rugby Women’s Premier and rugby came a little more natural to me. League, which is the highest women’s club But at this (World Cup) level, everyone had rugby that can be played in the country. been playing rugby a long time, everyone Her 3-days-per-week, 12 hour a day nursing has a lot of experience, and it’s very very schedule fits perfectly with her game competitive. And I was also one of the schedule. Tess Feury sums it all up. “The youngest girls on the squad, so I was kind of in an unfamiliar environment. Just making experiences and memories I’ve been able to make, travel the world with my teammates the team, I was ecstatic.” Feury now plays for the New York Rugby and my family, it’s just something I’m just so
grateful for. I really think that’s the biggest reward that has come out of it. I mean, getting to wear the USA jersey, and sing the National Anthem to represent your country, and just to realize that you’re playing the sport for more than just yourself, it’s extremely rewarding.” “And having a great family and teammates by my side makes it that much more worthwhile.”

A History of Morristown Municipal Airport
I
By Henry M. Holden n the early 1930s, Morristown Airport was situated on a 280-acre tract of land occupied by the Normandy Water Works, on the Columbia Meadowlands. Because the Great Depression little activity took place on the airfield. Then, in 1933, the federal government provided funds for airport improvements under the Works Project Administration. The improvements were in preparation for an expected Zeppelin base, fueled by the commercial German dirigible traffic between Europe and America. On October 7, 1936, the German Zeppelin Hindenburg flew over the Columbia Meadows. Speculation had it that Morristown would be the future eastern American terminal for the transoceanic flights of the Graf Zeppelin Company. The crash of the Hindenburg ended all discussions of a Zeppelin base. During World War II, Morristown Airport conducted an army primary flight training center. For more than two years, the airport had been conducting a Civilian Pilot Training Program, a program that anticipated the coming war and the need for pilots. Near the end of World War II, the Army returned the airport, now worth $1.5M, to Morristown. In 1947, Morristown put
$60,000 into the purchase and installation of hangars. Morristown Municipal Airport (MMU) began welcoming aviation companies to Morris County. At the time, these firms made Morris County a leader in research and development of aviation technology. With the settlement of thousands of employees, satellite industries and companies began settling in and around Morristown. Morristown, the County Seat for Morris County, attracted a population growth for decades. Zoning suits were thought to be the most effective way of limiting the airport’s expansion and the noise. In a 1956 suit against Morristown, by Hanover Township, the township argued that the airport “is a business pure and simple” and “entitled to no greater sanctity than a private corporation.” Morristown responded, “the airport served an essential governmental function serving the public need and … is immune from the zoning power of Hanover Township.” A unanimous ruling by the New Jersey Supreme Court ruled in favor of the airport. In July 1969, Hanover Township, Morristown, Florham Park, and six members of the Citizens for a Smaller Morristown

continued from page 30 A judge ultimately ruled in favor of the airport, but the expansion and noise issues continued. The 1970s brought the jet age and further development. As the economy and airport grew, so too did noise and air traffic complaints. Neighboring towns continued their pressure to restrict airport growth. Each request for improvements was met with protests and threats of lawsuits. MMU would learn to ask for all it could get, and settle for what it
needed. Other efforts, such as the demand for commercial passenger service would remain an unobtainable dream. The 1970s, also saw work underway to extend the major runway. Engineers dredged a swampy area, moving over 1.7-million tons of mud, and earth for the runway. They installed a new instrument landing system and other improvements related to safety. Airshows continued sporadically until Sunday, June 12, 1983 when a single engine experimental aircraft had both

wings separate in flight, over the runway, and in front of an estimated 15,000 spectators. The crash was later ruled pilot error because the pilot exceeded the 200-mph speed limit for the homebuilt aircraft. The accident, and other logistical issues permanently ended the possibility of future airshows. With its continual growth and maintenance expenses, the people of Morristown wondered; would the airport continue to pay for itself, or would the taxpayers, foot the bill? By 1960, they earned a profit of $70,000. This trend did not continue. In 1982, Morristown leased the management of the airport to DM AIRPORTS, LTD. By 2002, there were several hundred aircraft based at MMU including jets, helicopters, and turboprops. Today it is the third busiest airport in New Jersey; surpassed only by Newark-Liberty International Airport, and Teterboro. Over the last three years, the number of airport movements has been increasing from 75,356 in 2017, to 82,900 in 2019. As a General Aviation Reliever Airport, MMU accepts private, corporate, air taxi, air ambulance, training, and military aircraft. The majority of New Jersey’s business fleet is located at Teterboro and MMU. In 2000 there were 325 aircraft based at MMU and in 2019 there were 241. In addition to being a major transportation asset, MMU is also a major economic asset to Morris County. It supplies an estimated $13 million in tax benefits to the community. Today MMU covers 638-acres. Physical constraints of the wetlands and permanently preserved open space eliminates the potential for future runway expansion.

A Fearless Young Voice: She The Change
I
By Jillian Risberg t’s easy to say it’s not my community, not my world, not my problem. Then there are those, like Etasha Donthi, who see the need and respond. The CEO and host of She The Change podcast harnesses that restless energy and unleashes it against injustice, inspiring the next generation of female change-makers to be part of the discussion. “I believe everyone has the power to change the world,” Donthi says. “My goal is to foster conversations with my guests about today’s most pressing issues, such as inequity in the healthcare sector, mental health, and racism. I am also not afraid to address topics that receive less attention, including access for poor women and girls to basic necessities like menstrual products.” Hearing stories and discussions about how fearless young women have stepped out of their comfort zone and used their voice to speak up instills an inspired feeling within the listeners, according to the podcast host. “I am proud to say She The Change has been able to do that,” Donthi says. “It is the most rewarding feeling to receive messages from girls who are choosing to take risks and speak up, even though it may seem intimidating.” Her podcast guests are powerful, young female leaders who are advocating, empowering and initiating change on a local and global scale. She The Change offers an opportunity for activists and change-makers to converse about issues where societal intervention is necessary. “Each guest has a different cause of interest, and on the show we highlight that cause and explain its importance,” Donthi says. “Also, I hope to bring well-known female influencers. It would be a dream to have Alexandria Ocasio Cor-
tez, Karlie Kloss, Michelle Obama, Priyanka Chopra, Greta Thunberg and Nadia Murad join me on an episode because they inspired me to pursue my passion.” The podcast host’s goal at She The Change is to bridge the gender gap of women in leadership positions by inspiring her listeners to pursue their dreams, start their own initiatives and nonprofits. According to Donthi, she has already tackled climate change on an episode and her advocacy extends to global warming, pollution, gun violence and more. “Although we are making progress, the gender gap between women and men in leadership roles is far too large to be ignored,” the podcast host says. “Many girls have amazing ideas that could change this world, but unfortunately, many will never carry through with those ideas because they have been fed the lie that their dreams are not realistic.” Donthi started She The Change to change that narrative and encourage Gen Zers worldwide to stand up for the causes they believe in. The podcasting space was the perfect platform and the podcast host embodies ‘lead by example,’ working to reduce pollution and end worldwide poverty. “There is currently a scarcity of Gen Zers hosting podcasts, so naturally, Gen Zers make up a very small slice of podcast listeners,” says Donthi. “After I began growing a potential audience through Instagram, I began releasing episodes of She The Change, and those Instagram users became She The Change podcast listeners! She embarked on this journey young (and she’s only 15 now)… “In August of 2015, I started Hope and Joy for Children, a
non-profit that aims to provide those living in poverty with their basic necessities. Millions of people have been experiencing regular food crises, lack of freshwater, destroyed shelter and no medicine. I couldn’t sit idly by as people undeserving of these harsh circumstances suffered day to day without the resources needed to survive,” she says. Hope and Joy donated $16,000 to Save the Children, an international humanitarian organization. continued on page 21
A Fearless Young Voice... continued from page 20 “My efforts were acknowledged by Disney Youth Service of America and I received the Disney Summer of Service Grant to make a larger impact in my community,” Donthi says. “It was incredibly rewarding to see the money I raised put a smile on hundreds of kids’ faces. Although ending poverty may seem like an undefeatable force too big for one person to make a difference, I am glad to be taking a step in the right direction and changing the world for the better.”

When it comes to who is listening — the She The Change audience is predominantly composed of women up to age 59, with Gen Z and Millennials the largest listenership. “The audience has grown to thousands of listeners across many countries because of Instagram. Reaching more Gen Zers through the She The Change audience will only increase the number of people who are advocating and initiating change,” says Donthi. “That is all I could ask for.”

The podcast market is flooded, but what sets She The Change apart is it’s one of the only podcasts hosted by a teenager. “And to my knowledge, the first podcast produced with the aim of empowering Gen Z girls to advocate for change, take up leadership positions and empower others,” Donthi says. The podcast host is filled with humility and gratitude as she reflects on how She The Change has really resonated with people. “I could not have grown (it) to the scale it has without all the amazing supporters and listeners who share the episodes with their friends and family to extend the impact of She The Change,” says Donthi. “People around the world are taking a leap of faith; I couldn’t be more proud to see girls like me reaching out of their comfort zone and fighting for what they believe in.” After every episode, the podcast host hopes listeners come away feeling motivated and inspired by the discussion. “I love to see that inspired feeling translate into action, where the listener takes the knowledge she gained from the episode to initiate change within their community,” Donthi says. Catch an episode on all major platforms;
including Apple, Spotify, Google and Radio Public. What’s next for She The Change? “I plan to continue uploading podcast episodes weekly in order to grow,” says Donthi. “Expanding from the podcast space into other platforms to reach a wider audience and inspire millions of girls around the world.” And she plans to invite well-known guests on the show to share their journey as change-makers. As of right now, I solely run She The Change, but I plan on recruiting passionate teen leaders on the team in order to expand the reach,” the podcast host says. That means Donthi does it all, from searching for guest speakers, recording the episode virtually, editing with audio software, uploading and releasing onto all podcast platforms. At the end of the day, Donthi is speaking her truth, her way — and dynamically changing the world. “It is a surreal feeling to receive direct messages on a daily basis from young girls who started their own initiatives because of She The Change, because it proves that She The Change has the power to create a tangible impact around the world.”

5 Fall Tips for Protecting Your Pet’s Health Whether fall is when you switch out your exercise regimen or schedule your annual flu shot, staying healthy is at the top of most “to do” lists right now. Just remember your four-legged family members when considering seasonal changes to your wellness program. Fall is the perfect time to take steps to keep pets healthy, too. 1) Plan that vet visit. Annual checkups that include immunizations, physical exams, routine blood work and prescription refills are as important to pet health as they are to human health. Routine wellness visits can also save pet-care dollars in the long run through preventive care and early disease detection. If your pet missed his or her annual check-up last spring, consider getting that visit rescheduled. Most veterinarians offer pet wellness appointments with curbside drop-off and pick-up to help safeguard owners’ health. 2) Get off the couch. Summer’s heat is giving way to cooler temperatures, so resist the temptation to forgo your dog’s evening walk for yet another movie marathon. Not only will outdoor exercise help whittle your pet’s waistline and promote joint health, but getting outside to enjoy the fall colors can boost your own caloric burn and
mental outlook as well. 3) Don’t “fall” back on parasite prevention. Just because you aren’t slapping mosquitoes like you did in July doesn’t mean you should stop protecting your pets from parasites. The American Heartworm Society recommends giving heartworm preventives - many of which prevent a host of common parasites - to dogs and cats year-round. While heartworms are spread by mosquitoes, it’s nearly impossible to guess when you’ll see the last one in the fall or the first one next spring. Disease-carrying mosquitoes can also survive as temperatures drop by migrating indoors or to protected areas near houses and other buildings. 4) Rethink your pet’s fall wardrobe. Protective wearables make more than a fashion statement for many pets. Arthritic senior dogs, as well as short-haired dogs or lean breeds that chill easily, will be more comfortable if you slip on a cozy fleece coat when clipping on their leash. Just make sure your pup’s garment has a snug vs. a tight fit - and consider coats with reflective fabric if you favor nighttime walks. And if your fall activities include hunting with your dog, make sure to outfit your fourlegged companion with a hunting vest.
5) Hide the Halloween treats. Whether or not your kids go trick-or-treating this year, you may be making plans to stock up on Halloween candy. Just remember that certain human treats may be toxic to your pets. Chocolate is hazardous to both dogs and cats, sugar can throw off your pet’s electrolyte balance and certain
artificial sweeteners can cause liver failure in dogs. So go ahead and keep the candy to yourself. Just keep it away from your pets while you’re at it. Staying healthy has never felt more important than it does this fall. Do your pets a favor and prioritize their health, too. (BPT).
