Morris County ‘Girl’ Puts On Editor’s Cap For Randolph News

I

By Cheryl Conway t was Fri., Feb. 6, deadline day….my first real deadline day as the new editor of MJ Media, and as I was getting my kids ready for school I turn my computer on early so I’m ready to finalize all of the press releases for eight monthly newspapers and write my stories. And there it was….blue screen of death! For those who do not know what the blue screen of death is, Google it cause I’m not exactly sure, but I do know I could not start my computer nor get to any of my files. Lucky me, my husband-Todd- a brilliant computer software field engineer-who was busying himself downstairs making breakfasts and lunches, jumped right on my laptop and cured my unwelcoming surprise to the point of full restore. As stressful as the situation was, my little mishap gave me my lead for this piece which is my introduction of myself as the Editor of MJ Media LLC. It’s not easy to write about oneself especially after writing

about so many other people’s accomplishments for more than 25 years as a journalist for multiple publications. When my publisher, Joe Nicastro of Flanders, told me he wanted me to write about myself as the new editor I was apprehensive and wondered why someone couldn’t interview me and write about me for a change. I’ve spent the past week trying to come up with introductions in my head, even researched a few, to get ideas of what to reveal, what not to tell, don’t tell your age, don’t mention your religion, race or how many kids you have. Does it really matter? Probably not, as my job as editor is not about me, but to review all the material to be published and to write about all of you. As the Editor of MJ Media, my goal is to continue with the company’s philosophy of showcasing and informing all residents in our coverage area- which currently reaches 84,831 homes and businesses- the good that surrounds us day to day, the positive, the uniqueness of our communi-

ties, its people, schools, places, history and local government. So many people turn to television news and feel saddened, worried, stressed when they learn of all the crime and bad things that go on in the world in which we live. Yes there is bad, someone told me it was Eve’s fault for eating the apple, and we have our means of being informed of the negative news in all kinds of mediums. But you will not find those stories in MJ Media. Instead you will read about your neighbors who survived the Boston Marathon explosion or baked cookies for a house fire; your son who is a national champion in soccer or just won first place in his school’s robotics competition; your daughter who just won her first beauty pageant or got second place in the regional spelling bee; your friend who just got elected to the council; a tree down the street that got picked to stand tall in Rockefeller Center; the girl at a local restaurant who bought a stranger’s lunch as a kind deed for her birthday; my husband who just won the lottery…I wish. There are really so many positive stories out there, some are hiding and if you open your eyes you will find them. Years ago, I was sitting in my car outside the public library waiting to go into story-time with my son, and I couldn’t help but notice this woman who ventured just outside the woods

Cheryl Conway

to put some food in a bowl. Shortly after the woman left, I noticed three stray cats approach the bowl and start eating. This simple observance led to a series of stories of local volunteers who take care of stray cats and started a movement to get them spayed and neutered to reduce the number of stray cats that mingle around apartment complexes. You the readers are the eyes and ears of the community in which you live and work. I only have two of both, I think that’s a good thing, but I cannot be in all the towns of MJ Media. Take notice and shoot me an email with any press releases, announcements, accomplishments, photos and story ideas. My email is [email protected]. Have concern of that 80-year old man collecting shopping carts at your local grocery story and wonder, what is he doing out in the cold? Or what about that other man who is constantly picking up garbage at your local park…why is he volunteering his time, every single continued on page 8

Disease Highlight: Multiple Sclerosis- Treating The Whole Patient

M

By Cara Connelly ultiple Sclerosis (MS) is an autoimmune disease that affects the central nervous system- the brain and spinal cord. MS affects twice as many women than men and is most commonly diagnosed between ages 20 and 50, but it can be seen at any age. Approximately 400,000 Americans have MS and, every week, about 200 people are diagnosed. There is no cure for this often debilitating disease. Although outside the coverage area of MJ Media, an excellent facility- The Multiple Sclerosis Comprehensive Care Center in Livingston- is situated close enough for people who are diagnosed with MS to receive quality comprehensive care. MS is caused by damage that happens to the myelin sheath. This sheath is the protective covering that surrounds nerve cells. The damage that happens to the myelin sheath causes nerve signals to slow down or even stop. Think of a lead pencil. The wood covering is the myelin sheath and the lead is the spinal cord. If the wood covering is chipped and the lead is exposed, the communication between the brain and the central nervous system is disrupted. Symptoms vary from patient to patient. The location and severity of each attack can

be different and often these attacks are followed by periods of reduced or, in some cases, no symptoms. Sometimes, this disease may continue to get worse without periods of remission. Because nerves in any part of the brain or spinal cord may be damaged, MS symptoms can appear in many parts of the body. It is important to treat the ‘whole’ patient and help family and caregivers do the same. It is important not just to find a good neurologist that specializes in MS but, it’s a good idea to align yourself with a facility that treats the entire patient and all aspects of the disease. The Multiple Sclerosis Comprehensive Care Center in Livingston is the only facility in the region that offers a full service approach to MS under one roof. The MS Center provides comprehensive evaluations, diagnosis, treatment, medication education and follow up under the direction of board certified neurologists that are multiple sclerosis specialists as well as nurse coordinators. Patients have access to other needed services in the same building such as infusion capabilities, physical and occupational therapies, psychological support, pain management and the highest quality imaging device, the 3.OT MRI machine.

Additionally, they are committed to high standards in clinical care, research, rehabilitation, education and patient advocacy. The Comprehensive Care Center offers an additional unique program to promote wellness of the patient who has MS. Together with a partner, the patient is able to benefit from the on-site wellness gym and personal trainers. The Comprehensive Care Center recognizes that MS is a lifelong condition that affects not just the individual but, the entire

family. They understand that patients may face unique circumstances that range from transportation, accommodating schedules, work and family obligations, education and advocacy needs. The center provides emotional and logistical support while assuring that the best possible multidisciplinary, holistic, therapeutic and medical treatments are provided. Information for this article was provided through the National Multiple Sclerosis Society website.

By Cara Connelly o sooner are the kiddos back to school after the holiday break and it is quickly followed by President’s Day break and cold weekends. For those lucky families that are heading to a tropical climate or perhaps a ski vacation, it is a welcomed break. For those families that aren’t going away, this looming winter can be met with some anxiety and a huge dose of dread. There are plenty of weekends between now and the spring. What to do with the kids so as parents we don’t have to hear, “there’s nothing to do!!- I’m bored!!” Planning is the key. Make a list of things to do considering the age and interests of all the participants and let them help with the planning. Try to plan a nice mix of outdoor and indoor activities. Try exploring regions that you don’t often get to visit. Take along or meet another family. Mountain Creek is the New York/New Jersey Metro area's closest ski resort. Located just 47 miles from NYC, Mountain Creek offers 167 skiable acres on four mountain peaks. They offer 100 percent night skiing and boasts the region's most extensive snowmaking system. Mountain Creek is also home to the region's only true All-Mountain Terrain Park at South and Bear Peaks. The 65 acre Terrain Park is nationally renowned.

Morris County ‘Girl’ Puts On Editor’s Cap... continued from previous page season and when he walks by he always says ‘hello.’ Find interest in your child’s teacher who is no longer at the school and is instead running her own Italian restaurant, or about the boy who played on your son’s first basketball team and just won his playoff national championship in football as a freshman. Back to my story about my computer...So as I started that dreadful “blue screen of death” day, after my husband fixed my computer, I could not connect to the internet. How was I going to send all of my copy to the publisher? So I text my husband, who is now down at the bus stop, and he told me, with frustration, to turn the little black switch on at the left of my computer to turn on the WiFi. Who knew? When I was a youth in the my school’s marching band, we had the privilege of performing at Giant’s Stadium’s half-time show and my friends will remind me to this day….”remember when you asked us ‘why are those men running toward the white posts?’” You may chuckle, but I have no shame in my ignorance. I did not grow up watching the America’s most popular pasttime of football. My dad was into wrestling and boxing so that’s what we watched.

I firmly believe that the best journalists are those who do not know. We ask the best questions, we ask all the questions. We ask the questions that most people assume to know, but many do not. It is ok to not know. If we knew everything, there would be nothing to talk about or read about. Ask questions. Wonder. Learn. The brain is a sponge, I tell my kids every day. I have no shame in not knowing. I am not a doctor, not a scientist, attorney or computer technician. I am a writer. I am your new editor of your free monthly newspaper. Excuse my chattiness, but I never get to write in first person, it’s kind of fun, but I forgot to tell you some facts about myself. I was in high school when my English teacher complimented me on one of my narrative poems. He said it “was really good,” so that gave me the confidence to believe in myself as a writer. This led me to attend college, first at County College of Morris in Randolph for one year, and then on to the University of Maryland in College Park where I earned my B.S. degree in journalism with a minor in English in 1990. Some milestones happened at the U. of MD. This was where I wrote for my first

newspaper, the Diamondback, and I met Todd, my husband of 20 years and still counting. Todd, a die-hard Maryland native, who graduated a semester before me, got a job in Parsippany, of all places, just 20 minutes from my hometown of Roxbury. After graduation, I returned to my Jersey roots to work for Recorder Publishing Company as the reporter for the Randolph Reporter and later the Observer Tribune, where I almost got my lucky break of being

the only reporter to attend Whitney Houston’s wedding to mingle with stars like Kevin Costner and Eddie Murphy. But that fell through when Houston’s publicist decided that no reporters would be allowed to attend. So instead, Todd took me to dinner at our favorite restaurant, La Strada in Randolph, and he proposed with the diamond ring and all! It was July 18, the day Whitney got married, and the day I got continued on next page

Morris County ‘Girl’ Puts On Editor’s Cap... continued from previous page engaged to my college sweetheart. From there, I followed my fiancé to York, Pa., where I worked as a freelance writer for the York Daily Record but didn’t last much longer after I found a dead man in the parking garage where I would go to review the court documents. Todd’s career then moved back to NJ, we got married and I worked for New Jersey Jewish News as a writer for three years, where I got to travel and explore

countries in Europe, up until I got pregnant with my first child 18 years ago. That was when I left my full time career as a journalist to be a freelance writer, with the past six years writing for MJ Media. You are probably wondering why it took me 18 years to get back into my profession full time. Six kids. That is not a typo! Yes, Todd and I have produced six beautiful children and I was lucky enough to be a stay at home mom and still write.

So I’m back in full force as a full time writer/editor. MJ Media, which was established in 2003 with just two monthlies in Mt. Olive and Hackettstown, has grown to eight monthly papers which include the Mt. Olive News, Hackettstown News, Roxbury News, Randolph News, Black River News, Musconetcong News, Morristown News and our newest edition, the Mendham News. Joe Nicastro and Mary Lalama, a married couple in Flanders, are co-publishers of MJ Media LLC. The “MJ” in MJ Media, btw, stands for “My Jersey Media” in case you were wondering. Not only do residents and businesses receive the paper free in their mailboxes, but all stories, ads and press releases can be read online at mypaperonline.com. As a freelance writer for MJ Media since 2009, the publishers realized the opportunity was right to bring me on as their editor. And as my grandma used to tell me, “When someone gives you something, take it,” within reason of course. So I did, officially taking the reins on Mon., Jan. 26. I am no stranger to MJ Media’s coverage area. Not only am I a Jersey girl, but I am a Morris County girl. I spent most of my early years growing up in Succasunna attending Roxbury schools; attended community col-

lege in Randolph, where I later worked as a reporter as well as in Mendham, Chester, Mt. Olive, Roxbury and all the coverage areas of MJ Media; I have been a Mt. Olive resident living in Flanders for the past 12 years with kids in elementary, middle, high school and college; and I previously lived in Hackettstown as well as Ledgewood in my adult years. While I am very familiar with these towns, there is so much I do not know about what is going on in your community. Send me a shout out when you have some happy, positive news to share. Just like my husband helped me in getting my computer to work so I can succeed, I count on all of you to help me stay informed of what is going on in your community. These are our newspapers. Let’s be proud of our accomplishments and spread them on that paper that turns your fingers black. Newspapers are still the best resource for proud moms and dads to cut out that original article and place it in a scrapbook as a memory that will last a lifetime. Last tidbit, my aspirations are to be a novelist of non-fiction novels one day. Think I’d be quite good at it since it is obvious that I have no trouble writing lengthy pieces. Sorry this is so long, btw. The editor ran out of time to edit this!

Blood Reserves Challenged by Patient Demand O-Negative Blood a Constant Challenge

ew Jersey Blood Services, a division of New York Blood Center (NYBC) is asking for help to maintain an adequate supply of all blood types, but especially O-negative – the “universal” blood which can be transfused into anyone in an emergency. In addition, hundreds of additional blood drives need to be scheduled to meet projected hospital demand. Current inventory of several blood types is running below the desired target level. “It’s simple: hospital patient demand for blood often outpaces our best efforts to recruit donors and schedule blood drives,” said NYBC Executive Director of Donor Recruitment Andrea Cefarelli. “There are always reasons but we have to overcome that for the sake of hospital patients who need us. “This is one of the toughest times of the

T

year,” Cefarelli added. “We’re asking for our dedicated supporters to roll up their sleeves to make sure we’re able to provide our hospital partners with whatever they need to take care of their patients.” Blood products have a short shelf life – from five to 42 days, so constant replenishment is necessary. Each and every day there are patients who depend on the transfusion of red blood cells, platelets and plasma to stay alive. But blood and blood products can’t be manufactured. They can only come from volunteer blood donors who take an hour to attend a blood drive or visit a donor center. To donate blood or for information on how to organize a blood drive call 1-800933-2566; visit www.nybloodcenter.org. If you cannot donate but wish to participate in bringing crucial blood products to

patients in need, please ask someone to donate for you, or consider volunteering at a local blood drive. Any company, community organization, place of worship, or individual may host a blood drive. NYBC also offers special community service scholarships for students who organize community blood drives during summer months. Blood donors receive free mini-medical exams on site including infor-

We have more than 400,000 veterans in New Jersey, including more than 30,000 women. I’m hopeful that soon we will see many of these plates on our roads and highways.” According to veterans’ organizations, NJ

is the only state which does not offer special license plates for those who have honorably served their country. “The liberty we enjoy is because of the veterans who answered the call to serve,” said Space, ”Anyone who puts his or her life at risk deserves our appreciation. A special license plate is a prominent way to acknowledge and respect those who defend our country.”

Well-Deserving Fire Chief Appointed in Randolph Township

By Ashley Levinstone limbing the ladder in quintessential fireman-like fashion, Steven B. Cohrs, a 21-year active volunteer, has officially been sworn in as the Township of Randolph’s new Fire Chief. Chief Cohrs, following in the footsteps of three generations of men before him-- his great-grandfather, grandfather, and uncle-all career firefighters, began his firefighting experience first with The Livingston Fire Department. Here, he served as an active member for 11 years, eventually moving to Randolph and serving as a member of Station 5: Shongum Mountain for the past 10 years. In deciding to run for the Fire Chief position, the decision actually came quite easily to Cohrs, as it was a seemingly natural progression from everything he had worked towards thus far. Of his decision to run for the elected position, he states, “It was something that I’ve aspired to and worked through a series of other roles in order to reach,” says Cohrs. “I’ve been an officer of one form or another in Randolph for about eight years so it was a progressive experience. I’ve served a lot of different roles, some operational, some planning. I come

from a very wide background in training, planning, policy writing and all things necessary to run a fire department, so these were all stepping stones to ultimately becoming the Chief.” Before being elected as the Township’s Fire Chief, Cohrs moved up from his 2014 rank as Deputy Chief, a mandated pre-requisite for anyone interested in progressing to Chief. When asked about the importance of the Fire Department to the community and any memorable calls during his 21 years of service that he will never forget, Cohrs says, “We often are called into a variety of emergencies, maybe not just a fire, sometimes we respond to a missing person search, sometimes to assist the police when investigating a crime scene. Several years ago in Livingston, we actually responded to a plane crash. [Fire fighters] provide a variety of services, even providing assistance to other towns, as well. There are times when we need the help or we provide the help, depending on what the needs are.” Even so recently as this past weekend, Cohrs and the Randolph Fire Department played an active role in the fire that devoured a popular strip of businesses and

apartments on Elm Street in Morristown. In an instance like this, The Randolph Fire Department played just as crucial of a role as the firefighters actually fighting the flames, as they helped to cover the stations that were on the scene all throughout the evening blaze. Cohrs takes the reigns in accountability and oversight of all members of the four fire stations in Randolph Township, which happens to be one of the largest fire departments in all of Morris County-- not only in size and area of service, but also in volunteer membership. Randolph Township’s Fire Department boasts a remarkable and growing 125 members throughout its four strategically-located stations throughout Randolph. In speaking of the Department, Cohrs describes the variety and background of each of the volunteers, those of which include everyone from chefs to research scientists, police officers, EMTs, and so many other members from several different walks of life. As a career IT Vice President himself with 38 years of professional experience throughout several different notable companies, possessing degrees from both Seton Hall University and NYU, Cohrs is an edu-

cated, dedicated and caring individual, seemingly the perfect choice for this rank. Cohrs and The Randolph Township Fire Department are always looking for new members to join their remarkable team. “We actually have a Junior Fire Fighter program where we get high school students interesting in joining,” Cohrs states. “We work closely with the schools to make sure the students are still paying attention to their scholastic performance while they are volunteering with the Department.” Cohrs’ family continues on the tradition of emergency service as his two sons have become the 5th generation of men to serve currently as active members of Randolph’s Station 5, a legacy proving true dedication and pride. In addition to the new chief appointment, Anthony Moschella, a highly- respected member of the community and department, has also been appointed as the Deputy Fire Chief of Randolph Township for the new year. Together, Cohrs and Deputy Chief Moschella oversee the safety and protection of over 26,000 residents of Randolph Township, continuing over 80 years of loyal volunteer service to Randolph and its surrounding communities.

Basketball Tournament At Roxbury High Aims To Raise Money For Cancer

R

By Cheryl Conway oxbury High School alumnus Daniel Exter was working full time, healthy, active and even training for 5K marathons 18 months ago when he was diagnosed with leukemia. At the age of 27, Exter’s world stopped as he found himself in a hospital bed undergoing all kinds of tests, followed by chemotherapy to kill the Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia (ALL), and then later a bone marrow transplant- with his brother as the donor- to correct the genetic mutation which would have prolonged his chances of being cured from the Cancer. Like a time out during a basketball game when the players regroup to think about their next play, Exter was in his timeout- in his hospital bed – when he decided he “wanted to give back” and help in the cure for cancer. Why not combine his passion for basketball and sponsor a fundraiser to collect funds for the cause? Exter, now 29 and living in Jersey City, is hosting Layups 4 Life, a three on three basketball tournament at Roxbury High School in Succasunna on Sun., April 19. Proceeds will go to Memorial SloanKettering Cancer Center in New York City to raise money for cancer research and

awareness. “We are playing to hopefully save lives,” says Exter, a 2004 graduate of RHS who played on the boys’ Varsity Basketball team his senior year as a power-forward center. “We are raising for Sloan Kettering; whatever I raise will hopefully change someone’s outcome if they get diagnosed with cancer.” Exter’s idea for the fundraiser stems from his passion for the game of basketball, a sport he has played since he was 10-years old, and a motivating charity event he attended with his girlfriend this past summer. The pair participated in a national indoor cycling event, Cycle For Survival, which also raises money for SloanKettering. “That motivating event made us want to get involved,” says Exter, who approached the athletic director at RHS with his fundraising idea. David Linn, founder of the national cycling event who lost his wife to a rare form of cancer, plans to register a team for Exter’s basketball tournament. In remission since Aug. of 2013 and continuing to not show any signs of disease, Exter still has difficulty talking about his experience as a victim of cancer. A producer with Cablevision’s MSG

Varsity program, Exter recalls how he had shortness of breath but didn’t think too much of it since he always suffered from “bad allergies” and had been diagnosed with asthma as a kid. After he realized the inhalers were not working, he visited a specialist in NY and underwent a series of breathing tests. It was on a Friday in July of 2013, Exter

recalls, when all the tests came back negative so the specialist sent him to a lab for blood work. The next day, Saturday morning, when Exter got home from playing basketball in the morning followed by training for his 5K, he realized he had “three missed phone calls” from the doctor with an urgent message that his results showed he was not continued on next page

continued from previous page only anemic, but had low blood counts. The doctor had told him “not to go anywhere, to pack up and go to the hospital.” Exter recalls that dreadful day. “I go to the hospital (Lenox Hill Hospital in NY), they do more tests” and then tell him he has cancer, Exter describes chokingly during a telephone interview with MJ Media. In disbelief, Exter says “this kind of cancer is found in young kids. It’s not hereditary, not genetic- it’s the short straw of life,” he says. ALL is a type of cancer of the blood and bone marrow — the spongy tissue inside bones where blood cells are made. “The most common type of cancer in children” treatments result in a good chance for a cure, experts say, but when occurring in adults “the chance of a cure is greatly reduced.” Exter explains that as his blood cells were maturing and growing “somehow it was producing immature blood cells.” Caught early, Exter received chemotherapy “right away,” but at the same time was diagnosed with having the Philadelphia Chromosome, a genetic mutation. It was recommended that Exter receive a bone marrow transplant to help in his battle against the leukemia. While a search for a donor was underway, Exter’s siblings were tested to find a candidate for the transplant. It was determined that his only brother Jason, 25, of Morristown, was a “perfect match.” Exter and his brother Jason underwent a T-cell Depleted Transfusion in Nov. 2014 at Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center. Jason was required to give his blood, which would then be separated, cycled through and replenished.

Exter remains Cancer free with his last test in Dec. 2014 and the next one not until the summer. “I am lucky enough to say that I am now cancer free and I have Sloan-Kettering to thank for that,” says Exter. “Putting this event together is my way of giving back to those who helped me and joining them in their fight against cancer.” Exter continues, “Sloan Kettering, with their doctors and medical procedures and what they did for me was clinical trial based on money raised to find a cure for what I have.” Exter now wants to help contribute to others who may someday need that trial. “I want to help someone like me who needs a clinical trial,” concludes Exter, “to continue the fight and continue to help in the battle against cancer, to do my part, to give back and help these doctors that are much smarter than me to help find a cure.” Registration is open for teams with a maximum of four players per team. Register at www.eventbrite.com/search:layups4life; through social media sites, or at 10:30 a.m., the day of the event. Players must be 15 years and older. Cost is $20 per person and includes an event t’shirt. A raffle and silent auction is set for 11 a.m., with games to begin at 11:15 a.m. and will continue until there is a winner, says Exter. Prizes include raffles, contests, three-point shooting contest, knock out game. In addition to the basketball tournament, a DJ will provide entertainment as well as concessions in the effort to help raise money for cancer research. With this event, Exter hopes that it is successful, that people have fun and that he can continue Layups 4 Life as an annual tournament at RHS.

A

New Bubble In Mt. Olive Attracts Athletes Near And Far

By Cheryl Conway nyone who drives by can’t miss it. There’s this huge bubble right in front of the Flanders Athletic Club in Flanders, situated in the front, blocking view of the pool area and tennis courts. It may look a little out of character, but its purpose, by all means, serves as the hottest and prime spot in the area for indoor training , sports games and birthday parties. It’s the newest indoor sports turf facility in Northern New Jersey. Many refer to it as “The Bubble” but its real name is Center Court Indoor Sports. The temporary inflatable dome structure is an extension of the Flanders Valley Tennis and Swim Club. Sports teams, trainers, coaches and players have been traveling near and far to get out of the cold and keep up their sports skills. “It’s a great spectacle here for local community and surrounding towns for sports’ teams and individual training,” says Matt Blankley, facility manager of indoor sports. The greatest benefit is “you can train all year round if you have this facility close to you. Being a soccer coach, its essential; you can get less behind if you don’t train as much.”

While the foundation for the site started at the end of March 2014, the artificial turf went down in June and then the bubble went up on Oct. 20. An air-filled system, it took two days to get the bubble and ready to go, says Blankley, a native of England living in the United States for the past eight years. The plan is for the bubble to come down the last week in May, with the turf field still in place to be used as an outdoor space to be rented for various sports, and then go back up again in the fall when the colder temperatures return, explains Blankley. It’s difficult to sell an indoor field in the summer when you can go to a local park to play for free, he says. So during the warmer months, the turf field at Center Court can be used for clinics and camps, especially during the summer. The bubble was erected as an opportunity “to try to enhance sport development in the local area,” says Blankley. An opportunity was brought to the tennis club, and since the land in front had already included a commercial license, there was no obstacle to add on the turf field with a bubble over it. So “why not,”

owners figured. Inside is a giant turf field 100 yards by 50 yards, with nets that divide the area into five separate fields that measure 20 yards by 50 yards. The state-of- the- art high performance turf is 2.5 inches deep manufactured by Shaw Sports Turf with its proven technology known for its durability. The bubble also features “top quality lighting for indoor sports,” says Blankley. It’s “the best illumination to play” for sports indoors. “This is the highest quality dome with lights; you can train until late at night.” The main lobby contains a couch, bathrooms and huge television for those waiting for the players to finish their session. Teams for - soccer, lacrosse, field hockey, football and rugby- have been using the bubble for practice, supplemental training, tournaments and leagues. The facility can also be rented out for birthday parties featuring multi-sports’ parties. “Soccer coaches from all over have been using it,” says Blankley, who also works as a soccer coach in Chatham and Center Court Soccer Club in Gillette. “In our lacrosse league, teams from West

Orange are coming all the way out.” Other teams as far as Pennsylvania and New York have been reserving the bubble in Mt. Olive, as well as closer clubs from Mt. Olive, Lenape Valley, Hackettstown and Bridgewater. The closest indoor facilities are Kozaks and Indoor Sports Pavilion, both in Randolph; and the permanent bubble facilities in Morristown and Gillette. Another bonus is that Center Court is “employing the best coaches in the local area to train the players,” says Blankley. The new bubble allows players “to train all year with top quality coaches and professionals,” adds Blankley. The bubble is opened “all day” seven days a week, from 7:30 a.m. to 10:30 p.m. The site has been used for little kids’ classes, youth kids’ classes, clinics and programs, mostly during the day on weekends. At 3 p.m., Mt. Olive and West Morris Central lacrosse and soccer teams have been renting out the space for training. After that, “it’s a free for all,” says Blankley.

Vehicle Donations Help Morris Habitat For Humanity

or Morris Habitat for Humanity an amazing milestone has been reached – 30 years of service providing homes to families in Northern New Jersey. From small but determined beginnings, the affiliate has grown and prospered, thanks to the generosity of local corporations, municipalities, individual donors and thousands of volunteers. One way to donate to Morris Habitat is through the Habitat for Humanity Cars for Homes program. Old or unneeded cars, trucks, boats, snowmobiles, motorcycles, equipment or other vehicle sitting in the driveway, or taking up space in the garage can make a difference right here in Morris County. Morris Habitat’s Executive Director, Blair Bravo, points out that, “Every dollar raised helps local hardworking families achieve the American dream of homeownership. All donors need to do is make sure to specify that the proceeds from the item is being donated for Morris Habitat.” Advanced Recycling Services, Inc. handles the donations and can be contacted online through CarDonationWizard.com and via their call center at 1-877-277-4344. One hundred percent of the net proceeds from the sale of a donated vehicle will be used by the

local Habitat affiliate to build and repair affordable homes. Additionally, contributors may qualify for a tax deduction for donating a vehicle. It’s fast and easy and donated vehicles are typically picked up within two or three days after the title is received by the processing center. Habitat for Humanity uses a licensed and insured national transportation network and complies with all federal and state regulations. Most of the work can be done online. This national program is staffed and managed by full-time Habitat for Humanity employees. Thirty percent of cars donated to Habitat are recycled for materials or sold for reusable parts. Recycling steel uses less energy and natural resources and produces less carbon pollution. Taking an inefficient older car off the road helps save gas and improves air quality.

One year After Transplant, Brothers Complete Documentary To Enlist Organ Donors

C

By Cheryl Conway ameron Wohl of Parsippany, a former student of County College of Morris in Randolph, got a second chance to life just one year ago when his older brother, Jared, donated a portion of his liver to him. The brothers spent the past year documenting their family’s journey through the transplant experience and are almost ready to share their documentary to encourage and educate others about the indispensable need for more donors. They are hoping to get the documentary out for distribution to the public later this year. Cameron, 25, and Jared, 28, raised money for the production of their documentary through the organization they established - The Wave Set- to create a movement and spread awareness and education on the importance of organ donation. In Dec. 2013, they had started a campaign to raise money for their documentary. Through social media and a line of apparel to serve as visual awareness for their cause, the pair raised almost $35,000 during their one month campaign. They are on a mission to share their story and encourage others to become donors. “People should see this film because the necessity of needing a life-saving organ transplant can happen to anyone at any-

time,” says Jared. “Too many people are suffering from the inability of receiving a life-saving transplant and we owe it to ourselves to change that.” This time last year, the brothers were recovering from surgery at New York Presbyterian Hospital in Manhattan. Cameron’s journey actually began when he was 13 when he was diagnosed in 2003 with Primary Slerosis (PSC), a rare autoimmune disease- primarily affecting his liver- with less than 200,000 cases worldwide. He went from being an “active and normal” seventh grader to “quite sick.” He would get a “viral flare up” but after it persisted, went to see a doctor, he describes. He had been diagnosed with ulcerative colitis a year prior which can result in PSC, he explains. Cameron had a procedure done, ERCP, to remove the stones and sludge in his liver. Problem is the “PSC doesn’t have a cure,” says Cameron. “While I was stable I wasn’t cured by any means.” Cameron had to be on medicine for four years throughout high school and then at the age of 17, “they dropped the hammer” and told him “I was going to need a liver transplant. At some point, my liver would fail,” without a transplant. “I was listed for transplant for a deceased liver,” Cameron explains. “There’s such a high demand for these organs. I knew I was

nowhere near the top of the list. They use a formula; they give you a number” based on the Meld System, a scoring method implemented in 2002 to prioritize patients need for a transplant. But that all changed by the time Cameron turned 21. “I declined and presented more issues, so they said ‘you may want to explore a living donor.’” Jared jumped right on it, went through the “extensive process” to make sure he

could be a viable option. “He was approved,” says Cameron. “He was a perfect match to be a donor for me.” Three years apart to the day, the brothers share the same birthday…and the same liver. Jared, a business teacher at Parsippany High School and computer teacher at Brooklawn Middle School in Parsippany, says he felt obligated to help his younger continued on next page

One year After Transplant...

continued from previous page brother. “I just felt like, a part of me, there was an obligation to my brother,” says Jared. “How do you pass up the opportunity to save someone’s life especially when it’s someone’s blood? Without hesitation I knew I’d do everything possible to save my brother’s life.” Cameron’s younger sister, Brittany, was also a match for him as well as his dad. In order to be considered a match, both individuals need to have the same blood type. Candidates then go through a costly evaluation process that involves body scans, EKG’s and blood work. With Jared close in age to his brother and the same body build, he would be the best match for Cameron. Only obstacle was Cameron’s concern for his brother. “When he was approved, I got cold feet,” says Cameron. “I don’t know if I could put my brother’s life in danger. At any time, I could go into liver failure.” Cameron figured “I had a safety net; if anything happened, he [Jared] was willing and able.” So he conferred with his doctor who told him “if you’re not ready you can defer and wait.” Cameron decided to delay the process to have the transplant and put his brother through the procedure, but that all changed

18 months later. “I prolonged the transplant,” says Cameron, a business specialist for Apple. Although he missed a lot of his senior year from being “exhausted,” Cameron still graduated high school and then attended CCM where he earned his associate’s degree in Exercise Science in 2010. “I was doing pretty well,” until his routine checkup in Aug. 2013, when doctors found a tumor on his liver. After reviewing his medical options, Cameron decided to get chemotherapy treatment- Chemo-embolization- to target and kill the tumor- on Oct. 31, 2013, and then later go through with the liver transplant on Feb. 11, 2014 at New York Presbyterian Hospital in Manhattan. Jared went into surgery first, a four hour procedure to remove the entire right lobe of his liver, or 65 percent, about the size of a fist. His incision is from the bottom of his sternum to the top of his belly button. Doctors had to take Jared’s liver out first “to make sure it was good,” says Cameron, conducting “lots of microscopic surgery to make sure it functions.” For Cameron, his entire liver and gall bladder was removed, and then Jared’s liver portion was transplanted in. Dr. Jean Edmond, who performed the first living donor liver transplant in North America in 1989, performed the operation.

“I was blessed to have them pick up my case,” says Cameron. Dr. Robert Brown, in charge of hepatology, was Cameron’s doctor up until transplant; Dr. Benjamin Samstein conducted Jared’s surgery. Recovery was eight days in the hospital for both brothers, with two months recovery. It was a matter of “rehabbing my entire body,” says Cameron. “I was on a lot of different medication. In the beginning, it’s really challenging, but when you look back, you get through it. From not having good blood work for so long to now, everything looks great. My numbers have been consistently normal.” Jared agrees, “It was pretty intense,” the recovery, with “a lot of physical pain and a lot of mental anguish. It would take six to eight weeks to regenerate 85 percent of the original shape of his liver, and six to eight months to get his full liver back. “I feel great,” says Jared, a year later. “It just takes time. You are just resting. Although it’s painful, I would do it again. It’s a surreal feeling to look back at it all; I look at my scar.” As a singer/songwriter, Jared’s says the entire experience gave him a “lot more substance to write about”...and a documentary to produce. It was in the summer of 2013 when the brothers brought their creative minds together and came up with their idea for the

Wave Set. With Jared, as a singer/songwriter and Cameron who loves to draw and paint, they decided to host a crowd funding campaign to raise funds for their documentary titled “65 Percent.” Jared liked the word Wave, with its symbolism as a wave being one of the “strongest forces on earth. One of us can only do so much but when you join forces you can do more,” Jared explains. WAVE also stands for We Are Vital To Each Other, thus their motto. In their logo, the A has a triangle, with the top triangle representing a deceased donor and the other 8 triangles representing how a person has eight organs to save eight lives. Those organs include the heart, liver, two lungs, pancreas, two kidneys and intestines. “One person can save eight lives,” says Cameron. To raise the funds, they launched a crowd funding campaign through indiegogo with incentives to people who pledge. Those who contributed got to choose from a line of the Wave Set Apparel, from stickers, to beanies, t-shirts and sweatshirts. Their goal was to raise $30,000, enough money to film their documentary from start to finish showcasing “what it’s like for a family who needs a transplant.” Cameron says they reached six different continued on page 26

Landing Church Members Share Love With Valentines

M

By Elsie Walker any people have made valentines as children and had the fun of exchanging them with friends and family. Those simple handmade creations told others that someone cared about them. Recently, some members and friends of the Port Morris United Methodist Church in Landing gathered in the church’s fellowship hall to enjoy the fun of valentine making, with some very special recipients in mind. Those recipients are the residents of several local nursing homes

plus some deployed soldiers overseas. Tina Berhak of Stanhope, co-leader of the youth group, coordinates the yearly valentine effort, noted that “about 36 people” came together in the early afternoon of Super BowlSunday with the goal of making 400 valentines. Those, with ones already brought to the church, would come to a total of 810 messages of love. "Creating and distributing Valentine cards to our community is a very important outreach for our church.

Telling a friend how much he/ she means to you with these mostly kid self-made cards means love in action,” said the church’s Pastor Nick Petrov. To make things a little more interesting, the group was divided into four teams. Each had the goal of making 100 valentines. On the tables were a variety of items from which homemade valentines could be created. Ages toddler – senior took part in taking glue, paper, stickers, and markers to make some special cards. Some would be going to soldiers that the church remembers with “care packages”. Enough would be sent so that recipients could share the love with others in their platoon. The rest were being taken to nursing homes. Jennifer Kaslig of Hopatcong, co-youth group leader, was there with her toddler and a young friend they brought to join in the fun. “The kids love to be creative and think of how happy the recipient will be,” she shared. When the cards were finished, divided up and ready to go, they weren’t just dropped off, but hand-delivered. “The Port Morris UMC youth group is distributing the cards to our local nursing homes. Often words fall short, but personally giving such cards to our seniors always makes them feel loved and appreciated," shared Petrov. Kaslig shared that not only to the recipients get something, but so do those who deliver the cards and see what their work means to others. “I love the smiles when we deliver the cards!!” she said.

One year After Transplant... continued from page 21 countries through their 30-day social media campaign fromDec. 13 to Jan. 13, and raised $34,000. Cameron’s girlfriend, Stephanie Whittaker, helped design the clothing brand. With the campaign a success, the brothers hired a professional production crewalso two brothers- Mike and Jon Altino from Silver Style Pictures in Red Bank, to film their experience from Jan. 13, 2013, through the transplant on Feb. 11, 2014, up until Oct. 2014. The full length documentary- “65 Percent” -which stands for the percentage of Jared’s liver taken out and given to his brother Cameron- captures real life experience and footage with dialogue featuring doctors, the surgeries and recovery. “The Wave Set brings the reality to it,” says Cameron. “It’s not to show the procedures” but let others see “what the experience was like for an entire family; to see what unity and love play in this experience. We want to spread a culture of love, unity and selflessness. It’s a real life depiction of what family is all about.” While the creative film is finished, with post production, editing, sound and finalizing recently complete, the brothers are hoping to enter their documentary into a film festival and then will seek distribution.

“Our goal is to have as many people see it as possible to raise awareness to everyone to register of being a registered donor,” says Cameron, “to give that life to someone else.” They hope to have their documentary ready for the end of 2015. In the meantime, they have already spoken to some small rotary groups, but plan to reach larger groups by speaking at live educational events, integrating their music and art, to youthful audiences, colleges, high schools and corporate events nation-wide. “We hope to devote more to the cause and spread our mission,” says Cameron. Go to waveset.com, join us tab, and register as an organ donor. The United Network for Organ Sharing, unos.org, has a waiting list of candidates awaiting transplants and a list of donors. “A lot of people say they support it [organ donation] but they are not registered,” says Cameron. According to the web, “150 million Americans support organ donation but are not registered.” About 18 Americans die each and every day while awaiting an organ transplant, according to the Wave Set website. To make matters worse, a new person is added to the waiting list every 10 minutes (organdonor.gov).

Guitar Masters To Perform In Morristown

T

wo guitar masters, Stanley Jordan and Kevin Eubanks, plan to perform at Mayo Performing Arts Center in Morristown on Thurs., March 5, at 8 p.m. Tickets are $29.59. The performance is in advance of their new release, “Duets.” Kevin Eubanks is the Philadelphia native who took New York by storm starting out in straight ahead jazz clubs then progressive albums for contemporary jazz giant GRP Records and legendary Blue Note Records, frequent collaborations with cutting edge bassist Dave Holland, and then 18 years in Jay Leno's "The Tonight Show" Band (15 as Music Director) where he played with seemingly every meaningful musician across genres. Stanley Jordan is the Chicago-born/Bay area-raised phenomenon who mesmerized audiences with his instantly identifiable "touch technique" on guitar beginning with his gold-selling Blue Note Records debut Magic Touch (featuring his radio staple remake of Michael Jackson's "The Lady in My Life"), followed by a string of wide-ranging endeavors including a one-off for Clive Davis' Arista Records and explorations into the field of music therapy. Duets features spontaneous compositions and passionate arrangements that will send listeners' imaginations on a series of hypnotic journeys. The impeccably balanced Duets includes four all-new "skull arrangements" (so called because they were jointly created off the top of their heads), versions of four well-known classics: "Nature Boy," "Blue in Green," "Summertime" and "A Child is Born," plus interpretations of a modern pop song (Adele's "Someone Like You") and an electronic dance pop hit (Ellie Goulding's "Lights"). These were the all-natural uncalculated result of long philosophical heart to hearts as well as a nine-city tour over 30 years after Eubanks and Jordan's first meeting in the early '80s at New York's famed jazz-fusion club, the 55 Grand. "We've known each other since the early `80s," Eubanks says. "Since then we'd see each other mostly on festival stages." Jordan adds, "I knew him as one of the best musicians in the early days before any of us were well known beyond the inner music circles...a guitarist with an unconventional finger style technique. I could relate to that. We were going for something different and I never viewed

him as a competitor. The music was big enough for both of us." The four "skull arrangements" started as jams then evolved in the studio over a few takes which gave the duo organic arranging ideas to get from point A to B. Jordan defines these pieces as "the real essence of what we do." Eubanks adds, "You get more out of the deal when people are involved with a willingness to make the whole thing bigger than 'my part and your part.' Together we've got this thing that's bigger than anything we can do alone." Kevin absorbed substantial inspiration toward this direction from young musicians he encounters today. "I really love the cats coming up in jazz. They are the most respectful group of ladies and gentlemen. Their excitement has no trace of bitterness and they bring so much more to the table. One cat is designing an app to help him keep a band together. That wasn't around when I was coming up. It makes them more open minded about, 'How do we get the music out there?' Music should be the portal that unites instead of the door that separates people." Jordan concludes, "This album fills a nice niche because it's relaxing yet engaging. When you hear Kevin and I playing together, it's all about the music and supporting each other. I just love the feel of it - it has a real sweetness. People who listen from their heart are really going to love this record as an antidote to the norm." Mayo Performing Arts Center, a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization, presents a wide range of programs that entertain, enrich, and educate the diverse population of the region and enhance the economic vitality of Northern New Jersey. The 20142015 season is made possible, in part, by a grant the New Jersey State Council on the Arts/Department of State, a Partner Agency of the National Endowment for the Arts, as well as support received from the Geraldine R. Dodge Foundation, F.M. Kirby Foundation and numerous corporations, foundations and individuals. The Mayo Performing Arts Center has been designated a Major Presenting Organization by the New Jersey State Council on the Arts.

Stop Smoking!

oin us at the Roxbury Public Library, on Thurs., Feb. 26 at 6:30 p.m., when certified hypnotherapist and author of the series “How to Fix Yourself,” Kathy Lindert, will look at where, when and why you smoke, then help you change how you think about smoking. She won’t treat smoking as an addiction but as an unhealthy behavior that can be changed. Change the way you think and you can

change your behavior. While some smoking cessation methods help you build up resistance and strength to overcome the desire for a cigarette, hypnosis is designed to eliminate the desire itself. You won’t feel that you are sacrificing something; you will feel happy to be rid of a habit you no longer like. Registration is requested. To register, call the library at 973-584-2400 ext. 501 or e-mail [email protected].
