To accomplish third in

the nation for 12U

girls softball this

month was more than they

would have expected, but to

arrive home with decora-

tions and congratulation

signs on their lawns was

even a greater surprise.

The Mt. Olive 12U

Travel Softball team fin-

ished third out of 22 teams

who competed in the 2013

Babe Ruth World Series

Qualifier Tournament in

Alachua, FL, held Aug. 1

thru Aug. 6. From Mt.

Olive, 11 girls ages 11

through 13 got to compete

against the best girls in the

country- the first time in

seven years that Mt. Olive

qualified for the national

event.

The girls, their parents,

coaches, league organizers

and local supporters arevery proud of the teams

success.

The support we

received form our commu-

nity back home was amaz-

ing, says Kim Borozan,

softball mom of the 12U

travel team. When she and

her family got home from

Bottom row (L to R) : Bella Salafia, Alyssa Segnello, Kaitlin Pettenger, Lauren James. Middle row (L

to R): G abby Grillo, Alyssa Borozan, Charlotte Salafia, Izzy Hendrickson, Aliyah Lloyd, Julia Chang,

Annalee Smith. Back row (L to R): Coach Mike Borozan, Coach Chris Grillo, Manager Paul Segnello

their long drive from

Florida, they were wel-

comed by a huge sign across

their front lawn, balloons on

their mailbox and house.The other travel teams

(8U, 10U and 14U) were

following us on

gamechanger.io the entire

time we were there and

when we returned the moms

from the 10U travel team

decorated all 11 girls homes

and made bookets with all

of the stats from

gamechanger as a keep sake

for the girls, says Borozan.

This was a once in a

lifetime opportunity for ourgirls, says Paul Segnello,

newly appointed vice presi-

dent of Mt Olive Softball

and team manager. We

were honored to earn the

right to play in this national

tournament and compete

against other high caliber

teams from all across the

country.

There are over 2,200

Babe Ruth tournament

teams at the 12U level in the

entire country and we wereone of 22 that qualified,

says Segnello. To achieve

third in the country is

beyond our expectations but

also shows the high quality

of our Mt. Olive softball

program and how it stacks

up on a national stage.

To qualify for a Babe Ruth World Series,

a team must either win a regional tourna-

ment or win a World Series Qualifier

Tournament. Mt. Olive 12U Travel Softballteam won the Northern New Jersey Babe

Ruth World Series Qualifier tournament,

held June 7- 9 in Mt. Olive, which gave the

team an automatic bid into the 2013 Babe

Ruth World Series.

Out of the 11 games played during the

World Series tournament, which were held

at the Hal Brady Recreational Complex in

Alachua, FL, Mt Olives record was eight

wins and three losses.

Pitt County, NC was the champion.

We had the most wins of any team in

the tournament overall, says Segnello.

During the double elimination round, we

played three consecutive games on back to

back days in about 100 degree heat on both

days and ended up winning five out of the

six games. We played Santa Fe Florida in

the semi-final and lost in the last inning by

a score of six to five.

Segnello credits the teams success on

months of preparation and years of working

with these girls on improving their softball

skills and knowledge of the game since they

first entered the program, he says. We

also have very committed softball families

in Mt. Olive that sacrifice a great deal of

their personal time towards our program.

Our success is also due to the girls' compet-

itive attitudes and setting high expectations

for themselves whenever they take the

field.

The experience is one that will always be

cherished by those involved.

Anytime you get a chance to compete

against teams from all over the country is

extremely valuable experience, says

Segnello. They showed they can compete

with the best teams out there. Most impor-

tantly they now believe they belong to a

very elite group....one of the top teams in

the country. This experience will carry them

throughout their lifetime.

MO Girls Softball Team Finishes Third In Nation...Segnello says, As the manager of this

team and speaking for the other coaches, we

are so proud of the team's accomplishments

this year. Mt. Olive is a very small town-

ship in comparison to the other organiza-tions we've faced in the World Series. Look

at how far those very special 11 girls went

this year. What an incredible season.

Coach Mike Borozan says, This was an

amazing ride with an amazing group of

girls. They played their hearts out on the

field giving one 100 percent even when

playing three games a day in 102 degree

heat. They always represented themselves

and Mt. Olive in a professional manner

even in defeat. The citizens of Mt. Oliveshould be very proud of these girls. I know

I speak not only for myself but Coach Paul

Segnello, Coach Chris Grillo and Coach

John Lloyd, it was truly our honor to coach

these girls.

through Free to Breathe are reaching the peo-

ple who need them most, event organizer

ing the promise made to hundreds of thou-

sands of families across the country of life-

saving treatments and cures. Im proud to be

a part of this transformative effort, and I

encourage the entire community to join me

in embracing the Free to Breathe move-ment.

In support of Free to Breathe Morris

and local businesses championed the cause

by raising more than $42,000 to help patients

and families affected by lung cancer.

This year, Free to Breathe events across

the country will raise funds and unite lung

cancer survivors, families and friends.

Anyone interested can register for an event,

donate online or start a personal fundraising

movement. Supporters make this walk their

own by gathering friends, family and co-

workers to walk when and where they

veterinarian will check the dog's vital signs,ears and teeth and ask questions regarding

eating and elimination habits. A fecal testalso may be conducted to check for variousparasites in the dog's gastrointestinal sys-tem. These parasites may include round-worms, hookworms and coccidium.Additionally, a blood draw may be orderedto check for heartworm and to ensure that

the dog's blood levels are where they shouldbe. Routine immunizations will be adminis-tered if the pet is healthy. New shots enablecertain shots, such as the one administeredto protect dogs against rabies, to be given

Local Expert Shows NJ ParentsHow To Get The Most Money For

Their Childrens College Education

New Jersey parents suffering withfinding ways to pay for their chil-

drens college education can final-

ly get the solutions to their college funding

problems.

Most families who earn $75,000 or more

and own a home assume they are not eligi-

ble for financial aid. However, most fami-

lies with income over $100,000 are actually

eligible for some types of need based

financial aid. They simply need to know

how to get their fair share.According to Newell, there are several

easy things parents can do to substantially

increase the amount of money they get from

colleges. For example, There are several

schools that historically give better finan-

cial aid packages than others, says Newell.

If families do proper income and asset

planning before filling out the forms, they

can increase eligibility by thousands of dol-

lars.

Newell offers a few simple tips to par-

ents with college funding problems. If a

parent has only half an hour to end their col-lege funding problems, I would suggest the

following:

1. Make sure they do not over-value their

home on the financial aid forms

2. Try not to save money in the childs

name as it weighs more heavily than the

parents savings

3. Dont be afraid to negotiate with a col-

lege for a better financial aid package.

Newell offers New Jersey parents with

college funding problems a free booklet

that explains the 9 most common collegefunding problems and solutions. Free copies

will be distributed at the seminar listed

below.

Mr. Newell will be conducting a free

one-hour seminar for parents of college

bound high school juniors and seniors at the

following location: The Mt. Olive Public

Library on Wednesday, September 25 at

7:00 p.m.

As many of the Mt. Olive residents probably realized,we hosted the Babe Ruth Mid-Atlantic RegionalSoftball Championship Tournament on July 17-22

at both Turkey Brook Park and the Dan Jordan fields inFlanders.

It was a huge honor for us to be chosen as the host town the tournament consisted of 45 teams from 5 states(including Mt. Olive teams). Over 450 girls, ages 7-16 par-ticipated in Opening Ceremonies, Skills Competitions, and100 games.

For the magnitude of the event, we did not receive onecomplaint. Instead, we received endless complementsregarding every aspect of the event from the quality of thefields, facilities, friendliness of the local businesses and res-idents, and the township in general.

While everyone in our organization put in countlesshours, the overall impression would not have been possiblewithout the support of the rest of the community!

Frank Wilperts Department of Parks, Buildings, &Grounds went above and beyond the call of duty in ensur-ing that the parks in use were mowed, trimmed, mulched,and cleaned. The effort they put in, especially after have

just completed the Carnival, was nothing short of amazingand we could not have asked for a better partner in prepara-tions.

The Flanders and Budd Lake Fire and EMS teams, alongwith MOPD, were with us all weekend: providing cooling

Babe Ruth Tourney Runs Smoothstations, preventing parking/traffic issues, attending togame injuries, and even providing water for the extremelydry fields.

Our local businesses were generous in their sponsor-ships, and while we probably can not quantify the benefit

they may have received from 450 families being in town forthe long weekend, we truly hope that it was a profitableexperience.

The Somerset Patriots (TD Bank Stadium in Somerset)donated their facility for the opening ceremonies, whichprovided a professional-level atmosphere for the event andwas a wonderful way to welcome the teams to northernNew Jersey.

And last, but certainly not least, we appreciate thepatience of the Mt. Olive residents who had to contend withoverflow parking, extra traffic, and lost strangers for 5 ofthe hottest days of the year.

Unfortunately, as of now most of the comments/compli-

ments were verbally relayed, but one that was received viaemail stated We have never played in a better run tourna-ment, and really enjoyed our time in Mount Olive.

Again, thank you to everyone in Mt. Olive who helpedmake this event such a huge success.Sincerely,Mt. Olive Baseball/Softball Association &Mt. Olive Travel Softball

Many families may be surprised at how much theyspend on school supplies: According to a recentarticle in the University of Pennsylvanias

Wharton Magazine, for the average person with children ingrades K through 12, it comes to nearly $700 a year. To helpyou get the most for your money, consider these eight ideas:

1. Try to get a list from your childs teacher ahead oftime. The teacher may require specific brands, sizes orquantities.

2. Subscribe to a newspaper. It encourages reading and

can give kids extra knowledge and incentive in history,civics, English and science classes.3. Depending on the childs grade, youll probably need

glue, scissors, ballpoint pens, No. 2 pencils, colored pen-cils, a pencil sharpener, a large pink eraser, water-basedmarkers, spiral-bound or composition notebooks, and athree-ring binder with loose-leaf notebook paper.

4. Get pocket folders with two pockets. Label one keepat home and the other bring to school to help your childorganize his papers.

5. Get a calendar for scheduling assignments, sportspractice and so on.

6. A pack of index cards for making flash cards can also

come in handy.7. Lots of books of all kinds.8. A way to carry it all. Its a fact: Kids are tough on stuff.

But today, kids are carrying many more delicate things likeelectronics, phones and sunglasses. The days of the simplebackpack are over. Today, kids need places to put laptops,tablets, cables and cords along with schoolbooks andpapers. The Thule EnRoute series is a great option for allthese needs. The packs come in four colors and four sizes,and feature a large main compartment with a padded sleevefor a laptop and a separate pocket for a tablet. There is evena heat-molded compartment, called a SafeZone, to protectthose smaller, fragile items.

By Cheryl Conway

W

hile others have been spending the summer

jumping in pools or lakes, Keturah Orji of Budd

Lake has been jumping for track beating records

and winning medals.

Orji, 17, a rising senior at Mt. Olive High School, recent-

ly competed in the IAAF (International Association of

Athletics Federation) World Championships held July 10-

14 in Donetsk, Ukraine. She brought home a bronze medal

in the triple jump and a silver medal in the long jump.

Her success in track may take her all the way to the

Olympics some day, some say, and to watch her jump and

compete right in Mt. Olive has been very exciting to those

who have witnessed her athleticism.

Keturah is a very special athlete...a Haley's Comet if you

will...who only comes once in a blue moon, says VanessaBenfatti, head girls track coach at MOHS. We could coach

for the next 30 years and never have an athlete of this cal-

iber again. She is truly unique both as an athlete and a per-

son. She brings lots of pride to our track program and Mt

Olive High School as a whole. I look forward to seeing

what the future brings because I know it will be something

amazing.

Benfatti, who has been coaching Orji for the past three

years, says This is a girl who has the potential to go all the

way, perhaps to the Olympics, which is her ultimate goal.

Fans of Mt. Olive Athletics really need to take the time to

see her compete because, as I said, it is a once in a lifetime

opportunity to see this kind of talent. We are both fortunate

and grateful to have her with us.

Orji, who also plays on the high school volleyball team,

started to run track her freshman year, but started triple

jumping during the outdoor season of her sophomore year.

She specializes in triple jump and long jump.

From the minute she stepped on the track we (assistant

coaches and boys coaches) all knew she was something spe-

cial, says Benfatti. There were the obvious things like her

speed and overall athletic ability but she also had an incred-

ible gift at picking things up extremely quick.

When she was a freshman we tried her in a few differ-

ent events to see where she could fit best, says Benfatti.

We practiced hurdles and she was going over the top the

first day with pretty good form. For most girls it takes atleast a week to have the skill set to go completely over and

with confidence.

Triple jump, which is now her big event was the same

way, continues Benfatti. We sent her over to practice it

one day before a meet because she was already a long

jumper and we just wanted to see how she would do. The

next day we had a dual meet and she asked me to triple

jump. I hesitated and then told her to give it a try. She

jumped 39 feet and broke our school record and was close

to breaking the county record!Mandatory Credit: Kirby Lee-USA TODAY Sports / Kirby Lee-

Local Track Star Jumps Toward The Top In The Nation

Orjis accomplishments at Mt. Olive are endless. She

currently holds the school records in the 100, 200, 400, long

jump and triple jump. She is also a part of the relay records

for the 4 x 200 and 4 x 100. She holds the county record in

the long jump and triple jump and the state record in thetriple jump.

She is second best all time in the state of NJ in long

jump, says Benfatti. She is close (5 in) to breaking that

record which is held by Carol Lewis from 1979. She holds

multiple records on the Group and Sectional level as well.

She jumped 44'11 at the World Championships which is

second best HS all time in the US. What she accomplished

there in the long jump and triple jump was the best jumping

double in NJ all time.

Following a great track season this past school year, Orji

attended the U.S. tryouts for the long and triple jumps onJune 25-27 in Edwardsville, Illinois. It was there that she

placed first in the triple and then second in the long. She

was named to the U.S. team soon after and then taken to the

U.S. training facility in Ill. to prepare for the IAAF World

Youth Championships in Ukraine. She left the U.S. on July

4, began her competition on July 10 and completed it July

14.

At the IAAF, Orji jumped 20 ft 11 inches in the long

jump winning second place , a silver medal; and jumped 44

ft 11 inches in the triple jump, winning third place, a bronze

medal.

I did way better than I would have ever expected, says

Orji. My goal was to jump 42 feet and I didn't start off too

well with that in triple. In long jump, my goal was 20 ft and

I jumped that pretty early in the season but not consistently.

The end of my season was definitely the best because I kept

setting new personal bests in both jumps and finished num-ber two all time in the U.S. in triple jump.

Orji says, I'm really excited, the competition in the

triple jump was extremely hard and I'm happy I could rise

to the challenge. Long jump wasn't as competitive as triple

jump but the competition was still much harder than I'm

used to.

Natural talent and her love for racing have placed Orji on

top.

I've always had naturally springy legs and I loved rac-

ing my friends so I guess that's why I like track, says Orji.

I think most of my jumping success is due to talent so allthe credit goes to God. I also have to give credit to my hard

work and my coaches because they taught me almost every-

thing I know about the jumps.

Benfatti says, Keturah's track abilities are endless. She

could probably be an amazing heptathlete. I truly believe

there is nothing this girl can't do. After all, she can scissor

kick 5'0 in the high jump. There are girls who have difficul-

ty with that height with perfect approach and form and after

years of practice. I truly believe she could make it to the

Olympics someday which is her ultimate goal.

I credit her success to a handful of things, such as

great genes, her gymnastics ability and the newness of the

sport, says Benfatti. Anyone who knows gymnastics

knows that it takes focus, discipline, control, and almost no

fear. To have success in the triple jump an athlete must have

an incredible amount of control of his/her body.

Orjis lack of experience in track, has also helped her,says Benfatti. Her freshman year was the first year she

ever did track. I think it may have helped her because there

were no preconceived ideas, fears, or expectations.

Everything was new to her so she was open and willing to

do everything with no hesitation.

Breaking more records, competing at the college level

and maybe professionally are Orjis goals in track.

I want to jump 45 ft to break the national record and

jump in the 44's consistently and jump 21 ft in long jump

and continue to jump in the 20's consistently, says Orji. I

also want to break Carol Lewis' state record in long jump.Next year I will try out for juniors and hopefully make

another USA team and one day hope to go to be a world

champ medalist and Olympic medalist.

Orjis advice to others is Always believe in yourself and

continue to work hard to reach your goals.

Her success certainly benefits the high school con-

cludes Benfatti. Anytime you have an athlete of this cal-

iber who is getting noticed not only on the national stage

but also internationally it definitely makes people wonder

about our school and our athletic programs.

By Elsie Walker

It started about 20 years ago. Byram resident Carol

Barry had always made banners out of felt and fabric

for her church, but suddenly, she felt found herself

going in a new direction. After visiting many small church-

es and large cathedrals around the world, she had experi-

enced for herself the inspiration that beautiful artwork can

provide. She wanted to give some of that to her own church,

the First Presbyterian Church of Stanhope

It started with a painting for a special event at school

(Barry taught art in Mt. Olive Township for 40 years). That

blossomed into about a dozen more works and what Barry

now sees as a ministrya ministry she wants to share with

other churches and groups.

Hanging like banners in the Presbyterian church sanctu-

ary, the topics of Barrys paintings include The Old

Testament, the New Testament, images of progress, andmages of what has impacted the world for better or worse.

Most works are not a single image, but contain a myriad of

them, calling the viewer to contemplate them. A departure

in style from some of the other works is Gods Peace that

Passeth Understanding. The painting resembles a mosaic.

Barry works on a size and type of paper that is quite

portable so that her works can be easily transported and dif-

ferent ones hung and shown. In that way, they have a ban-

ner-style to them.

A question Carol Barry frequent hears is, how long did

it take you to do that? Looking at Barrys artwork, it is not

surprising that people ask, though the answer may be more

surprising.

The thought process takes the most time, said Barry.

She notes that it may take up to a year for an idea to become

fully formed in her mind, though the actual painting takes

far less time. Barry doesnt work from sketches; the paint-

ings themselves form concretely in her mind.

Once formed it her mind, its time to paint. Barry said

she is fortunate to have a high ceiling in her home's family

room which also has great lighting. Also, she works in the

same space where she spends a lot of time. She likes that

because she observes, criticizes, and decides the next step

as she passes by the work throughout the day.

Barry shared that, many times, common statements or

familiar icons become the inspiration for her work. She is

currently working on a "walk through the Bible" painting,

the design being inspired by the familiar icon for AT & T.When she unveils a new work at her church, she asks

for time to explain it to the congregation. She explained

that several years ago, while visiting another church for a

music workshop, she viewed a beautiful fabric banner dis-

played in the sanctuary. While appreciating the exceptional

handiwork, she had difficulty discerning the subject. After

questioning several members of the church, she discovered

they were also uncertain of the meaning of the images.

Thus, she believes it is important for those seeing a work to

hear from the artist herself/himself.

In that vein, a friend and colleague asked Barry if she

would bring some of her paintings to

St. Mary's Episcopal Church in Sparta. Barry did so this

past spring and was able to share her inspiration and discuss

the images. She then took 8 paintings to St. Frances de

Sales Roman Catholic Church in VernonBarry shared that she was very humbled to see the

reaction of so many people that had never seen any of [my]

work before.

Barry would like to visit other churches and their groups,

sharing the message of her art. While anxious to share her

paintings with more people, she is very committed to the

Stanhope Church as an elder and choir member, making

Sunday morning visits only possible occasionally. She is

more available for visits other times during the week.

Because of the large dimensions of the paintings, it is also

sometimes challenging to find a site compatible to displaythe work. Carol does have a portable stand that displays one

piece at a time. Barry sees her art as a new ministry that has

opened up to her.

In addition to reaching people face to face, Barry is pur-

suing something shes been encouraged by friends to do for

years: working with a company in Newton to make repro-

ductions of many of her pieces. She is also investigating

having calendars made for a fundraiser for her church.

Art talks, and Carol Barrys pieces are speaking vol-

umes. To contact Carol Barry about speaking about her

work at your location, she can be contacted at: lake-

911 Outdoor Service, Silent Auction Part of Netcong Day for ChurchBy Elsie Walker

September 8th is a busy day for the

Stanhope United Methodist Church.

On that day, Stanhope United

Methodist Church welcomes the communi-

ty to its 9:30am outdoor service. The serv-

ice will include a remembrance of 911.

After the service, the church is inviting

those who attend to stay for the annual

church picnic. Also, the church will have a

booth that day, Netcong Day, from 11am to

5pm. It will be giving out free water and

lollypops and holding a silent auction to

benefit its Raise the Roof Capital Funds

Campaign. The church is located at #2Route 183 in Netcong.

The churchs pastor, the Rev. Tom Kinter

noted that the outdoor service started after

the 911 tragedy. There is a symbolism in

holding it outdoors. Just as people were

forced from their office buildings that day,

worshippers are going outside the safety

and security of our building [for the serv-

ice], said Kinter. The service is open to

people of all faiths.

The beautiful stone church, also known

as the Church in the Glen, was entered intothe New Jersey register of historic places on

October 15, 2012 and the national registry

of historical places on January 2, 2013. Its

Raise the Roof Capital Funds Campaign is

raising money to replace the roof and repair

the bell tower structure, to make them water

tight. One of the ways it is raising that

money is through the silent auction at

Netcong Day.

The silent auction is a way to invite oth-

ers to [contribute toward] the repair of a

building that has meant a lot to the commu-

nity, said Kinter. The church is home to a

food pantry; AA groups meet there, as do

scouts. Free community dinners have been

held there, and more.

In a silent auction, people view items and

then submit a bid. The highest bidder winsthe auction. At the churchs booth will be a

variety of theme baskets and gift certifi-

cates/cards being auctioned. Some exam-

ples of the basket themes are Back to

School, Going to the Beach, and Gardening.

Gift cards/certificates come from a variety

of local places including Fannuccis Caf

and Gelato bar in Netcong, Davys Dogs in

Mt. Arlington, Netcong Village Florist, and

Weezers Gifts in Netcong. The hope is that

many people will come to take a look andplace bids.

In addition to the silent auction, the

church will be giving out free lollypops and

bottles of water. Everyone is welcomed to

come by the booth.

Methodist Church's silent auction on Netcong

Cars, music, dancing, and cheesy driven-in movies,

these were some of the fun of the 50s, fun that is

recreated for a weekend each year at Lead East.

Held August 28th September 1st at the Parsippany Hilton,

the event, known as the worlds largest 50s party, includescars from 1972 and earlier, do wop groups, movies like

Teenagers from Outer Space and more. Adult admission is

$15 for Thursday or Friday, $22 for Saturday or Sunday.

Admission for Seniors (66 years and older) and Juniors (12

to 17 years old) is $10 on Thursday or Friday, $15 on

Saturday or Sunday. Children (11 and under) are admitted

free to the car show when accompanied by an adult.

Children need a ticket for the Friday, Saturday and Sunday

night Oldies Concerts.

Lead East is put on by Appleton Productions of Long

Valley. The partys host is Terry Cook, who started the

event 31 years ago. One of the ways the event stays freshand growing is thanks to those who attend.

Were always open to suggestions that come from the

people, said Cook.

An example is this years pie eating contest that was sug-

gested by the Hilton staff.

One thing that draws people to Lead East is the variety in

what it offers. What started as a car show has grown to be so

much more. While cars are certainly still a huge part of it

(1,800 will be shown this year), the event includes over 30

do-wop groups, strolling accapella, and 50s Karaoke and

open mike.

[We have] a really strong following of music enthusi-

asts, shared Cook.

Another area of interest is dance. The event has a Senior

Prom Sunday and offers free dance lessons.

[How many places] can you find ballroom and jitterbug

dancing, noted Cook who shared the interest in dancing has

been increasing.One of the things that Cook personally enjoys are the

cheap and cheesy 50s movies that will be shown at the

driven-in created in the Hilton parking lot. In particular,

Cook enjoys the special effects such as monsters crushing

buildings which are clearly cardboard models. This years

offering will include a 3-D Vincent Price movie (glasses pro-

vided).

You create a mood of having fun.and its sort of con-

tagious, said Cook.

The spirit can be found everywhere around the event.

Groups showing cars will claim an island in the parking lot

as their own and decorate it. Theres a pink flamingo hang-out, a tiki bar (nothing served), dop wop corner and more.

One group created a 10 pin bowling alley one year.

In addition to things to see and do, there are vendors sell-

ing food and a variety of items.

Besides the fun of the event, there is also giving. Each

year theres a big 50-50 drawing to benefit Make-A-Wish.

In addition, this year, the Military Transport Association

(MTA) will be getting a head start on the holidays by collect-

ing unwrapped toys for Toys for Tots to be delivered to the

US Marine Reserve Unit at Picatinny Arsenal. The toys will

be distributed to needy children in the north Jersey area. The

MTAs jeep will be located in the front Lead East vendor

Lead East the 50s Party Continues

One of the cars shown at last year's Lead East

area.

Reflecting on the popularity of Lead East( about 15,000

20,000 attend), Cook notes that the event reflects a more

innocent time. It was a time that the only gun a child even

touched was a toy one, not a real one. The world was not the

way it is today.

But now, for one weekend a year, people get a chance to

visit those earlier days and enjoy the fun, through a time por-

Math, science, engi-

neering..these

are subjects that

many students view with

dread and may even avoid.Unfortunately, in a world

where these are becoming

hot career fields, students

need to develop this knowl-

edge to get the jobs of the

future.

To the rescue comes

STEM-CAM! Aimed at

children ages 5 12, STEM-

CAM (Science, Technology,

Engineering, and

Mathematics through build-ing Confidence, changing

Attitudes, and Mentoring)

introduces these subjects

while having fun, demystify-

ing them and helping stu-

dents gain confidence. The

program was founded in

2012 by Samantha Rizzuto

of Long Valley. A junior this

year at the Math, Science and

Engineering Academy locat-

ed at Morris Hills High in

Rockaway, Rizzutos pro-

gram recently received a

grant from Dosomething.org

Rizzuto, who also volun-

teers at Liberty Science

Center, has always liked

math and science and excelsat them. Her interest started

when she was in the second

grade and made a spacecraft

model. It blossomed from

there.

I participated in

Destination Imagination,

robotics and I was drawn to

television shows like

Mythbusters and everything

on the Discovery Channel.

My presents under theChristmas tree involved sci-

ence kits, a telescope and a

microscope. Physics is my

passion and I aspire to

become an aerospace engi-

neer, she shared. I tested

and interviewed into the

[Academy for Math Science

and Engineering] program

for my 9th grade year.

However, unlike Rizzuto,

many students do not excel

in those areas. Rizzuto found

that many of her friends had

the attitude that they just

couldnt do math or science.

She realized that they were

not alone. Rizzuto wanted

to change that, especiallyconsidering where the

careers of today are and

where those in the future are

headed.

She shared some stagger-

ing information:

Historically, Americas inge-

nuity for invention and inno-

vation has strengthened its

economic growth, global

competitiveness, and its stan-

dard of living. However,according to the US Bureau

of Labor Statistics, one mil-

lion new STEM-related jobs

will become available this

year, but only 200,000

American college graduates

will be qualified to fill these

positions.

Now STEM-CAM is

helping opening up a new

world to ages 5 12, letting

them see that math, science,

technology, and engineering

Kids at STEM-CAM sessions learn math and science while having

fun.

Long Valley Student Opens Kids Minds to Math and Scienceare not only fun, but things

they can learn. Locally,

STEM-CAM mentors have

met with groups at the

Washington Township Public

Library and the WhartonPublic Library, and will be

starting to meet at the

Rockaway Public Library in

the fall. While the program

does not meet at the libraries

during the summer, it has

gone on the road. STEM-

CAM has gone to the

Salvation Army Boys and

Girls Club in Newark and the

Childrens Aides Society in

Harlem.

There are three mentors

who help Rizzutto with the

program. The two who have

been with her since the

beginning are her sister

Angelina and a friend,

Rebecca Fang.

Both of these mentors

have helped me plan lessons

and have gone with me to the

different libraries to speak

with the librarians about

hosting our program.Angelina is going into 10th

grade at the Academy of

Health Care Sciences in

Denville and Rebecca is a

junior with me at the

Academy for Math, Science

and Engineering. Our

newest mentor, Nick Vezzuto

is a magnet student at Morris

Hills High School, said

Rizzuto.

Depending on the numberof students and the space,

students may be broken

down by age-range. If thats

not possible, Rizzuto says the

mentors go around to every-

one to make sure the younger

participants get the help that

they need.

When asked about the les-

sons, Rizzuto gave some

examples:

Most of the time the les-

sons have a variety of STEM

concepts built into a single

activity. For example, meas-

uring tapes and stop watches

are used to calculate the force

of friction acting on a marble

traveling down a ramp stu-

dents design and build them-

selves. In March, I celebrated

Pi Day, which was focused

solely on math concepts.

During Pi Day, a variety of

centers were set up and par-

ticipants traveled to each

center in their groups

assigned according to their

age. Each center had a simple

and more advanced variation

of the same age appropriate

activities. We used materials

like blocks, tiles, ruler, cans,

cards, beads and, of course,

hula hoops to demonstrate tostudents practical applica-

tions of math. We created fun

activities and games to rein-

force patterns, geometry,

fractions, problem solving

and multiplication. We even

shared pi day cupcakes for

Einsteins birthday with the

participants, she shared

However, growing

knowledge isnt the only goal

of STEM, building confi-dence comes into play, too.

In an effort to break the

stereotype of what kids

imagine in their minds when

they think of scientists, I try

to present STEM to students

in a way that they will per-

ceive as cool. Cartoons and

media make scientists out to

be nerds in a really negative

way. I want kids, especially

girls, to feel confident and

excited about participating in

a STEM activity. That is

where the CAM (building

Confidence, changing

Attitudes and Mentoring) in

STEM-CAM originates

from. I give the participants

my email and Facebook

information, so they can con-

tact me and build a relation-

ship with me. I have had a

few contact me to tell me

what they are hoping STEM-

CAM will cover next. I love

receiving e-mails from par-

ents and students because it

shows me they are really

interested in what we are

doing., Rizzuto shared.

You are doing a great

thing here. We are all very

proud of you and are certain

you have a very bright andexciting future ahead of

you. said Fadila Gathers,

parent of a student participat-

ing in STEM-CAM.

Gathers is not alone in

thinking that STEM-CAM is

special. DoSomething.org, a

national not-for-profit that

helps young people change

the world, announced that

Rizzuto is a 2013 Seed Grant

Winner.It is so rewarding to see a

student embrace any aspect

of STEM. I know that a stu-

dents future will be filled

with a variety of new and

exciting opportunities now

that he or she has recognized

a love for STEM. I have

recently received emails

from a young girl who partic-

ipates in STEM-CAM every

month. She always emails

me with new ideas and ques-

tions. I love to see her curios-

ity and passion for STEM.

Another young girl wants to

be a mentor when she is old

enough. It is incredible to see

how sharing my passion can

inspire and empower others

to reach their potential. [that]

is when I feel like I have real-

ly accomplished something,

Rizzuto said.

ly good crowd. Also held at the Spring

Brook Country Club, which is right in the

heart of Morris County which is convenient

for everyone.

Flynn describes, there was a spirit in the

room. The way we help these people for

help and recovery- the spirit of that workwas in the room. People all said they go to

many of these and they said there was just

something special happening.

Last year, more than $25,000 was raised

at the golf outing event for the MHAMC.

Our goal is to introduce the agency to

people in the community, says Flynn, So

they will volunteer or join the board. Its

more of an outreach event.

The agency is also looking for sponsors

or donations from businesses or individuals

to support the event. Buy a spot in the adjournal, a tee sign to advertise a business on

the golf green, or cash donations are wel-

come.

Most health experts and medical

doctors would agree that drink-

ing lots of water daily can only

better ones health.but how many have

considered the type of water that should be

consumed?

There is a water on the market that con-

tains antioxidants and alkaline, and through

medical studies has proven to improve

health while reducing many diseases and ill-

nesses. A medical device was developed out

of Japan 39 years ago and works to take out

the impurities from tap water.

The device that was designed to restruc-

ture drinking water is available to hospitals,

restaurants and homes world wide and may

very well be the best water for drinking,

bathing and cleaning, according to experts.

The Japanese company claims that its water

flushes out toxins better than regular water.

You end up with a very powerful

antioxidant, says Rick Ercolano of

Manahawkin, independent sales representa-

tive and distributor of the restructured ion-

ized water, much more powerful than any

fruit, vegetable or green tea would give you.

Ercolano, who presents weekly seminarsabout the oxidizing water, says one glass of

this water equals 30 glasses of green tea,

which is high in antioxidants. The water

also contains alkaline which gives you

energy and is also micro-clustered, which

creates super hydrating water to super

hydrate the body.

The ionized water is healthy water

thats alive that makes people feel better and

gives them more energy, he says.

According to studies and testimony, theiodized or alkaline water has reduced the

risks for diseases and conditions such as

acid reflux, gout, arthritis, cancer, diabetes,

chronic headaches, back and joint pain,

digestive problems, high blood pressure,

muscle cramps, eczema and psoriasis, wrin-

kles and more.

There are clinical studies published in

the National Institute of Health (NIH) web-

site that show the effectiveness of this

water.Cancer lives in an acidic environment

but cant survive in an alkaline environ-

ment, says Ercolano, a public speaker and

wellness educator for more than 30 years.

Bottled water can be in storage for six to 12

months. Its not made fresh. Chemicals are

in there.

He says the water that is sold in the five

gallon plastic jugs contain even a greater

percentage of chemicals, and many sports

drinks are also highly acidic as well as car-

bonated drinks such as soda which do not

hydrate the body and can be bad for ones

health.

To date, there are 300 hospitals in Japan

and 3,200 restaurants worldwide that use

the ionizing water device in their establish-

ment.

The water device or machine is the size

of a coffee pot and can be placed on the

counter or even under a counter. It ties into

the cold water line under the sink and then

filters water through seven medical plat-

inum coated titanium plates with 23 watts of

electricity. With a double carbon anti-filter,

the electric current goes through the titani-

um plates to work as an ionizer.

The device makes different waters by

altering the ph levels, creating waters that

are suitable for drinking, taking medicine,

cleaning and beauty water..

For best results, with water that is most

oxidizing and highest alkalinity, water

should be drunk within 48 hours. The water

is also healthy for pets, as well as for bodi-

ly and household cleaning.

The electrical charge wears off every

hour up to 48 hours and weakens gradual-

ly, says Ercolano. Its always best to drinkthe water right from the machine. With that

being the case, this alkaline water can not

be sold in bottles.

Since chemicals leak in plastic bottles,

Ercolano makes his own to go drinks by

putting the water from his ionizing water

filter into DPA3 bottles to take the water

with him for the
