Annual Charity B-Ball Tournie Aims For Higher Contribution To Cancer Research
W
By Cheryl Conway ith a larger venue, a local non-profit is shooting to raise $30K this year for cancer research and clinical trials. Former Roxbury resident and 2004 Roxbury High School graduate, Dan Exter, has been on the move to growing and expanding his non-profit organization, Layups 4 Life. Since he began his charity in 2014, Exter has raised more than $50K with contributions to leukemia, pediatric and bone marrow research departments within Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center (MSKCC). His fourth annual 3 on 3 charity basketball tournament is set for Saturday, April 28, at the Parsippany PAL Youth Center in Parsippany. Doors open at 10 a.m., with opening ceremonies beginning at 10:30 a.m. and competition lasting until 6 p.m. Sign up now through April 9 for $32 per person; registration cost will increase to $40 after April 9 through April 24, the last day to register. Each team can have up to four players, allowing for one sub. Open to males and females, players must be at least 13 years old. Teams are guaranteed to play five games each within divisions of other teams that are of similar age and skill set. Within these divisional rounds, games will go to eight points or whoever is winning after 12 minutes of play. Teams that
have the best record within their division will move on to a single elimination tournament, explains Exter, founder and CEO for Layups 4 Life. With more gym space at the new venue this year, Exter is expecting a good turnout. Previously held at Roxbury High School, Exter decided to move locations this year as he needed more gym space. Last year, Layups 4 Life attracted 45 teams, “an all-time high,” says Exter, with about 180 participants. With just one gym at RHS, five games were held at one time. Although he says he loved playing at his former RHS gym, he says, “We came into a good problem where we outgrew it.” The Jersey City resident played in a men’s league at the Parsippany PAL. He figured, “Wouldn’t it be nice to have my tournament here.” So “after pitching the idea to the PAL management, this year we are at a new gym,” says Exter. “They have two gyms available.” With more teams, more money can be raised. Last year, Exter’s Layups 4 Life raised $23K in the 2017 fundraising season; his new goal is $30K. “This year we’ve been fundraising since Jan. 1, 2018,” says Exter. “We have some great donors & sponsors which consist of both local and national

businesses.” Besides raising monies from players, Exter says funds will be raised from raffles, a silent auction and vendors selling food at the event. There will also be a DJ playing music for entertainment and contests. “It’s a family-driven event,” says Exter. “You bring your kids, you play basketball. What can be better than that? Basketball, music and food, all supporting a great cause.” Exter also improved his website and received 501(C) (3) status for his organization in September. By having this nonprofit status, Exter is now allowed to direct his proceeds to help in other areas. Before receiving this status, Layups 4 Life was considered a third party fundraising organization through Sloan Kettering, he explains. “Now we have that flexibility on where we can help people,” he says. “Sloan Kettering will always be a focal point;
they saved my life, but there are other areas we can help so we like to try to do so.” As a former cancer patient, Exter was treated at Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center after diagnosed with Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia (A.L.L.) in the summer of 2013 at the age of 27. He received a treatment plan consisting of full body radiation, chemotherapy and a T-Cell depleted Stem Cell transplant, as described on the website. His younger and only brother, Jason Exter, was a perfect match and became Exter’s donor. During his recovery, Exter made a promise to himself to be an advocate in the fight against cancer. With his love for basketball- a sport he played since he was 10 years old and as a power-forward on RHS boys’ varsity basketball team his senior year- Layups 4 Life was created. Layups 4 Life is founded continued on page 4

Montville Public Library Makes Room For Digital Age And Patrons
F
By Steve Sears or the Montville Township Public Library, the key word is “change.” Residents who love their library need not be alarmed by the word. Change is challenging and difficult for some, but at the same time can be worthwhile. In fact, it’s been happening slowly but surely the past few years. On April 18, the library Board of Trustees plans to meet with their consultants, Library Development Solutions, with whom they’ve been in discussion with for 10 months. They will work on a strategic and technological plan for the library to make it “a vital, vibrant area,” says Library Director Allan Kleiman. He explains further: “The library is evolving to better serve the needs of the com-
munity, and as the emphasis in library changes from the physical book to the community, the library itself will be constantly changing.” The Montville Township Public Library building is almost 25 years old, and upon its unveiling won a few architectural awards. When visitors enter the Dutch barn-like structure for the first time, notice the exterior walls made of glass, feel the charm of the building, many are awe struck. “It is a rather impressive structure that is beautiful both inside and outside,” says Kleiman. The decisions to make the changes came from focus groups which were formed as part of a strategic plan. “When the library was built,” Kleiman explains, “the continued on page 3

Montville Rotary Plans Blood Drive
Montville Public Library... continued from page 2 emphasis was on buying books, and people were secondary, and now it’s different, it’s turned around. People are first and how we relate to the community, and our books are an equal with people. Another thing is the digital age has changed the number of books we’re buying. Each year we’re buying more e-books and audio books; people are downloading books and reading them on devices, their phone and laptops. The switch from actually becoming a book warehouse, which is what we were, to an active vibrant community resource is what we’re doing. So, people actually would like to have some more space, and that’s what we look at to do in the next couple of years.” It’s happening. An internal wall that housed a storage area was knocked down, and
was turned into a teen area, satisfying a space need for a flourishing teen after school program. However, adults as well visit, searching for a quiet spots study or for projects. “As a learning institution,” says Kleiman, “were making more room for individual and group study.” The “more room” statement refers to the library clearing space and seeking to add seats in its center; all seats are currently on the perimeter of the building. In addition, count on seeing different kinds of technology, an increased audio-visual collection, as well as books in different languages based on township demographics, and materials on other subjects which will be more enjoyed by the current public. “We’re looking at looking at what customers in Mont-

Make Kitchen Time Easier
hroughout 2018, you can create easy, healthy and delicious family meals by using time-saving recipes. For example, these “Cook Once, Eat Twice” recipes from CanolaInfo start with pork chops that double as the base for lunch or dinner the following day. “The more you cook your own meals, the more you can control portion sizes and ingredients,” said Manuel Villacorta, registered dietitian. “Knowing the right oil to use is essential. I like using canola oil to keep the flavors of your dishes intact due to its neutral taste and light texture. Plus, it contains high levels of monounsaturated fat and plant-based omega 3 fat, and is low in saturated fat.
I use it regularly in my home kitchen and recommend it to my clients.” For more time-saving recipes, visit canolainfo.org. Pork Loin Chops with Sweet Balsamic Mushrooms Servings: 8 8 boneless center-cut pork loin chops (4 ounces each), trimmed of fat 1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper 2 tablespoons canola oil, divided 12 ounces sliced portobello mushrooms 2 garlic cloves, minced 1/2 teaspoon salt, divided 2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar 2 tablespoons water 2 teaspoons Worcestershire sauce

Did You Know?
ow households earn their income has changed dramatically over the last several decades. According to a Pew Research Centeral analysis of the Decennial Census and American Community Surveys integrated Public Use Microdata Sample files, in 1960 only fathers worked in 70 percent of American households. That figure has dropped in each ensuing decade and by 2012 fathers were the sole earners in just 31 percent of American households. While one in
four households in American were dual income households in 1960, by 2012 that figure had risen to 60 percent. While those figures represent dramatic changes, the number of households in which mothers are the sole earners has not changed all that much since 1960. In 1960, mothers were the sole earners in just 2 percent of American households. Fifty-two years later 6 percent of American households featured mothers as the sole earners.

hrysanthemums, often referred to as “mums,” are among the most popular flowers for autumn plantings and landscape decor. But these hardy, often vividly colored plants, are worthy of attention as early as the spring gardening season. Although mums are most often purchased in September and October, and cast aside shortly thereafter, the plant
that many people mistake for an annual is actually a perennial - meaning with the proper care it can come back year after year. By planting mums in the spring, gardeners ensure the plants have enough time to develop solid root systems, including their hallmark underground runners that enable them to grow tall and wide over-winter. While it’s best to plant potted mums that were used in

fall decorating after the flowers die and before winter sets in, some container plants can still thrive and come back the following year. When cleaning gardens in the spring, do not trash withered mums that may have been stashed behind the shed. Try planting them and you may be surprised that they thrive and bloom in the garden the next year. Remove the dead branches and dried-up parts of the plant only after new shoots begin to grow. Gardening experts advise planting mums in sunny spots with southern exposure. However, be sure to keep the plants away from artificial lighting, such as streetlamps or garden accent lighting, as mums are short-day plants that bloom only when the hours of darkness are greater than the hours of daylight. Mums that get too much light at night may not bloom to their fullest capacity, or they may be “leggy,” with longer stems instead of being
compact. Pruning or “pinching” mums in June and July will help keep mums compact as well, resulting in more flowers. Mums desire a rich and moist but well-drained soil. Planted mums will require less water than container plants, but the ground should never become soggy. Well-watered plants will offer more flowers. Hardy mums work well as edging, in mass groupings to create a shrub-like appearance and even in containers. Thanks to their relative affordability, mums are an inexpensive way to dress up landscapes. Mums are hardy in the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) zones five through nine. Although fall-flowering mums may not be the first plants to come to gardeners’ minds at the onset of spring, planning chrysanthemum landscaping can now help ensure beautiful plants when spring and summer flowers begin to wither.
