Jacobus Vanderveer House & Museum Receives

$10,000 Grant From Investors Bank Foundation
he Friends of the
Jacobus Vanderveer
House & Museum
have received a $10,000
grant from Investors Bank
Foundation to support educational programming for
children.
This grant will enable
us to reach a broader range
of school children through
educational programs held
at the Jacobus Vanderveer
House as well as in classrooms at area schools,
commented Robin Ray,
President of the Board of
Trustees of the Friends of
the Jacobus Vanderveer
House & Museum. Wed
like to build upon the success of our programs featuring re-enactors portraying
historic figures such as
George
and
Martha
Washington, John Adams,
and others who bring history to life.

The Jacobus Vanderveer
House welcomes school
groups and scout troops at
its Bedminster location
throughout
the
year,
explained Ray, but for some
school districts, bussing
costs and scheduling are an
issue. The grant will help
defray some of those costs

as well as allow the Friends
to take educational programs on the road and
directly into elementary,
middle school and high
school classrooms.
In addition to having reenactors give first-person
presentations about historic
figures, the Friends of the
Jacobus Vanderveer House

plan to offer materials culture presentations in local
schools. The presentations
would complement students traditional classroom
learning with the hands-on
practice of using artifacts
and manmade objects to
interpret and understand

Morris County Girl Puts On Editors Cap

For Black River News
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 Im 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 Im
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 engineerwho 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. Its not
easy to write about oneself
especially after writing about
so many other peoples
accomplishments for more
than 25 years as a journalist
for multiple publications.
Cheryl Conway
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 couldnt
interview me and write about
me for a change. Ive spent
the past week trying to come
up with introductions in my
head, even researched a few,
to get ideas of what to reveal,

admission-free event. The performance
will be portrayed by Keith Henley of the

Born Michael King and later renamed
by his father, after the Baptist Minister
who was a seminal leader of the Protestant
Reformation, Martin Luther King Jr. was
one of the worlds greatest orators, as well
as a pastor, activist, and humanitarian.
King is best remembered for the advancement of civil rights. He won the Nobel
Peace Prize in 1964 for his work combating racial inequality through the use of
nonviolent civil disobedience, an
approach refined based on his studies with
Veteran African-American civil rights
activist Bayard Rustin and his admiration
for Gandhi. While King organized or participated in a great many, and variety, of
protests, his most famous speech, the I
have a Dream, was first delivered at the
March on Washington for Jobs and
Freedom in 1963.
Keith Henleys background is one of
great diversity. He graduated South

Carolina State College with a major in
chemistry and minors in mathematics and
biology. Later, he went on to study Theatre
Education at Camden County College in
Blackwood. He currently owns and operates J.O.Y. Productions, Queenies
Homemade Sweets and Catering, and
Alpha Designs. In addition, he is the artistic director and choreographer for
Folkloric Heritage Culture Arts Company
Inc. of Cherry Hill. He began his historic
interpretation career with Historic
Philadelphia Inc. and has since worked for
American Historical theatre and History
First Hand and has performed for the
Smithsonian
Associates
Teaching
American History program, Historic
Germantown, the Academy of Natural
Sciences of Philadelphia as well as local
libraries.

Morristown Car Wash Offers 25% Off

First Month on Their Monthly Packages
fter six months of offering our new

monthly packages, we can only
conclude it to be an outrageous success. Our two morristown locations already
have a combined 800 members. We're offering these monthly packages for two reasons;
first winter is our busiest season because
cars tend to dirty quicker with the weather
and road treatments, second we get to save
people money because of these more fre-
quent washes and they tend to tell others

about the service and the savings. So we
have memberships for every wash package
where the member pays once and comes as
often as the like for a month. They can come
once a week or once a day if they like. No
contracts and no cancellation penalties. To
round out our fist six months we are offering 25% off the first month of any monthly
membership for any new member.

Peapack/Gladstone Mayor Pleased With Money Savings Due To Shared Court

Scenario; All Local Municipalities In Jersey Working on Municipal Budgets
By Ejvind Boccolini
he
New
Peapack/Gladstone
Mayor is happy with
the money savings from the
new shared court with
Bedminster
Township,
which has been up and running since the 1st of the year.
If the situation arises,
another municipality could
join into the shared court
scenario, generating even
greater money savings.
New Mayor William
Muller said in a phone interview late last month that
Peapack/Gladstone officials
"left the door open" for a
third or fourth municipality
to join into a shared court, if
an agreement is made.
"Obviously we did this
with our eye toward financial savings," he said.
"So, I'm happy this is
accomplished," he added.
Muller also said he is
looking forward to 2015, and
is optimistic with the dedi-
cated individuals in public

service
in
Peapack/Gladstone.
He
added that there are many
new faces - he is the new
mayor, there is a new borough clerk, a new township
planner, and a new borough
council member.
Muller said he is proud
that he sees the public officials doing the very best they
can, adding that they are
very committed to the work.
He said public service is
interesting work, though it
does not pay much.
It is nevertheless rewarding, he said.
"I'm optimistic about
2015," he said.
In Chester, the department of public works and the
police department were
thanked for their efforts in
keeping the community safe
during snow storms in
January. Officials have also
been working on the municipal budget recently, of
course, and there have been

posts on Facebook notifying
the public about these meetings, other public events, and
recreational programs.
In Chester Township,
some incredible photos have
been taken of local sites, and
they can be seen on the
township website, chestertownship.org. There are several photographers who have
their work on display on the
home page of this website.
These photos are proof of
why this region of New
Jersey is so great.
Chester
Recreation,
which involves the township
and the borough, has some
photo contests and even
short film contests throughout the year. This was always
a great idea because of the
historic charm and beautiful
landscape. It is an opportunity to showcase both, and residents likely are mindful of
this always.
In other municipal news,
this is the time of year that

our local officials are putting
a great deal of time and energy into the budget process.
On a section of the New
Jersey State League of
Municipalities website, njslom.org/SG-property, there
are some interesting answers
to typical questions we may
have. Also, there are philosophies offered about the reasons why New Jersey has
such problems with respect
to property taxes. Though
we may not each agree on
these topics at all times, of
course, the dialogue hopefully can help to improve out
situation at some point.
This website seems to
offer an understanding point
of view about what local taxpayers and local governments are going through,
when they try to reduce
taxes.
"We need to remember
that excessive spending is
not always or even often
the root cause of rising property taxes. There are numerous mandates, regulations,
and other state and federal
actions that impact property
taxes," the website says.
It states that, when your
property tax bill goes up and
municipal services dont
meet your needs, your State
and
the
Legislators
Governor can help by making sure that the State is providing your home town with
adequate financial aid.
Municipal property tax relief
funding, as promised by
State law, can help to pay for
the local services you need
and can keep your property
taxes from going up
again."
These
question-andanswer type entries on the
League of Municipalities
website may be of interest, if
- like pretty much all of us we wish we could find some
more answers with respect to
high property taxes in New
Peapack/Gladstone Mayor
William Muller
Jersey. Quite simply, it is an

issue that probably all individuals on a local, county,
state and federal level are
hoping to improve.
In general, members of
the public can contact mjeditor@gmail.com
to offer story ideas/personality features. We appreciate your support in helping
us obtain coverage of
upbeat, community news.

o sooner are the kiddos back to
school after the holiday break and it
is quickly followed by Presidents
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 arent
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 dont have to hear, theres nothing to do!!- Im 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 dont often get to visit. Take along or
meet another family.

Jersey Metro area's closest ski resort.
Located just 47 miles from NYC, Mountain

Im 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.
Disease Highlight: Multiple Sclerosis- Treating The Whole Patient
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, its 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.

Morris County Girl Puts On Editors Cap...
what not to tell, dont tell your age, dont

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 companys 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 communities, 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 Eves 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 schools 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
strangers lunch as a kind deed for her birthday; my husband who just won the lotteryI
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 couldnt help but notice this woman
who ventured just outside the woods 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 thats 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 mjmediaeditor@gmail.com. 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 parkwhy

is he volunteering his time, every single season and when he walks by he always says
hello. Find interest in your childs teacher
who is no longer at the school and is instead
running her own Italian restaurant, or about
the boy who played on your sons 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 schools
marching band, we had the privilege of performing at Giants Stadiums 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 Americas most popular pasttime of football. My dad was into wrestling
and boxing so thats what we watched.
I firmly believe that the best journalists are
those who do not know. We ask the best ques-
tions, 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, its 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
continued on next page
continued from previous page
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 Houstons
wedding to mingle with stars like Kevin
Costner and Eddie Murphy. But that fell
through when Houstons 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 engaged to my college
sweetheart.
From there, I followed my fianc to York,
Pa., where I worked as a freelance writer for
the York Daily Record but didnt last much
longer after I found a dead man in the parking
garage where I would go to review the court
documents. Todds 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 Im 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 Medias 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 college 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. Lets 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 Id
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!
Basketball Tournament At Roxbury High Aims To Raise Money For Cancer
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, Exters 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 someones outcome if they get diagnosed with
cancer.
Exters 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 Exters 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 Cablevisions MSG
Varsity program, Exter recalls how he had

shortness of breath but didnt 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
Dan and Jason Exter

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. Its not hereditary, not genetic- its 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, Exters 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 tshirt. 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.
One year After Transplant, Brothers Complete Documentary To Enlist Organ Donors
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 familys 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 anytime, 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.
Camerons journey actually began when he
was 13 when he was diagnosed in 2003
with Primary Slerosis (PSC), a rare autoimmune disease- primarily affecting his liverwith 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 doesnt have a cure,
says Cameron. While I was stable I wasnt
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.
Theres 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 birthdayand 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
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 someones life especially when its
someones blood? Without hesitation I
knew Id do everything possible to save my
brothers life.
Camerons 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,
EKGs 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 Camerons concern
for his brother.
When he was approved, I got cold
feet, says Cameron. I dont know if I
could put my brothers 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 youre 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 associates
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 Jareds 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 Jareds
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 Camerons doctor up until transplant; Dr. Benjamin
Samstein conducted Jareds 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, its
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 its painful, I would do it again.
Its a surreal feeling to look back at it all; I

look at my scar. As a singer/songwriter,
Jareds 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 its like for a family who needs a
transplant.
Cameron says they reached six different
countries through their 30-day social media
campaign fromDec. 13 to Jan. 13, and
raised $34,000. Camerons girlfriend,
One year After Transplant...

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 Jareds 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. Its 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. Its 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).

pelvic inflammatory disease or severe cases of
endometriosis. That being said, an individual could still
benefit greatly from Acupuncture and Chinese medicine
because of the effect on improved ovarian and follicular
function. Additionally, Acupuncture can increase blood
flow to the endometrium, thereby helping to facilitate a
thick, rich lining. Many women have become pregnant
once their endometriosis was removed and tubes were
opened who had Acupuncture.
When Should You Start Acupuncture for Enhancing
Your Fertility?
Acupuncture is a process oriented medicine and takes
time, hence patients who have had the most success are
those who have had treatment for three months before
progressing to western reproductive therapy. I strongly
recommend 3 months of treatment to all my patients
going for either insemination (IUI), in vitro-fertilization
As further proof that Acupuncture and Chinese medicine has gained acceptance an success in Sept. 2005, the
University of Maryland received $400,000 from The
National Center for Complementary & Alternative
Medicine, a division of the NIH, to research the benefits
of Acupuncture combined with IVF.
Why Does Acupuncture and Chinese Medicine Work?
Why? Acupuncture provides better circulation and
better blood flow to the womb, said Dr. Raymond Chang,
director of New Yorks Meridian Medical Group, who has
been incorporating Acupuncture into fertility treatments
for the past decade. Acupuncture will give a better
chance for the eggs to be nourished and therefore carried.
It aids ovarian stimulation, improves the thickness of
uterine lining and therefore can help with implantation.
Acupuncture also is very relaxing, which helps to lower
your cortisol levels and increase progesterone output, an
important factor in decreasing your chance of having a
miscarriage.

questions or would like to stop by and see our facility.
Trendy exercises to rev up workouts
xercising consistently is a great way to get healthy.

For those who find their workout routines monotonous, switching up exercises and embracing some of
the newer, trendier fitness regimens may be a way to maintain your momentum at the gym.
High-intensity workouts
High-intensity interval training, or HIIT, is a concept
behind some of today's most popular exercise programs.
HIIT combines cardiovascular and strength-training movements into a concentrated workout designed to keep your
heart rate elevated. HIIT workouts blend bouts of intense
exercise with either rest or low-intensity activity. These
workouts seem to promote faster weight loss than pro-

(IVF), or donor egg transfer. I like to use the analogy of

we must nourish the soil before we plant our seeds.
This pacing of treatments takes into account that it takes
three months to make new follicles and build the
endometrium to the proper thickness. Many times, my
patients became pregnant and never needed to do the
Western treatment, thereby eliminating all the risks associated with using high concentration of hormones.
In a study completed by Stener-Victorin et al from the
Departments of Obstetrics and Gynecology Fertility
Centre, Scandinavia and University of Gothenburg,
women are encouraged to receive Acupuncture treatment
pre and post embryo transfer. Clinical observations that
the most effective fertility treatments were from those
who combined Acupuncture with their traditional medical
interventions. Hence, you can see that Acupuncture treatments for infertility is a win, win because it can be used
alone or in conjunction with Western medicine.
Other research is showing Acupunctures effectiveness
with men. A study published in 2005 demonstrated that
sperm motility and quality improved after the men
received treatment with Acupuncture.
longed workouts at moderate paces.

While HIIT is functional, it is not best for those who
have preexisting orthopedic injuries or serious cardiovascular conditions. But many people enjoy a stronger heart and
improved muscle tone from HIIT workouts.
Kettlebells
These weighted cast-iron workout tools can be an interesting addition to strength-training workouts. But their utility does not stop there. Using kettlebells during any physical activity will increase the amount of fat burned and can
provide a full-body workout. Kettlebells come in different
weights, and newcomers are urged to start out gradually and
build up in weight as they become more familiar and toned.

Trampoline cardio
For those who want to both shake up their workouts and
lift their moods, jumping on a trampoline can do just that.
It's difficult to be in a bad mood when bouncing around like
a kid on a trampoline. Trampoline classes are turning up in
some upscale gyms, where each participant has his own
individual trampoline. Routines mix in different choreography and small hand weights to promote a fun and effective
cardio experience.
Water aerobics
Swimming isn't the only thing you can do in a pool.
Water workouts are ideal for those with muscle and joint
pain because the buoyancy of the water reduces stress on
these areas, while providing enough resistance for a deep
workout. Workouts may begin in chest-deep water and
progress to deeper water for added resistance. Some gyms
now offer aqua cycling classes that combine water aerobics
with spinning.
Dance and hip-hop classes
ZUMBA classes have been popular for quite some
time. But many health clubs offer additional classes that
employ dance to burn calories and tone muscles. Some
gyms have developed their own cardio-based dance classes
that get people moving to music in a fun way. Routines are
fun and fast-moving, which may make them feel less like a
workout and more like a social event.
Recess classes
Adults who want to feel like kids again need only to
enroll in a fitness class that borrows activities from the
playgrounds of our youth. From walking like a crab to running drills to balance beams, these workouts take school
recess and bring it to the health club.

Guitar Masters To Perform

In Morristown
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."

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 Habitats 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. Its 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. So you help the environment,
while you are helping Morris Habitat!

New Bubble In Mt. Olive Attracts Athletes Near And Far
By Cheryl Conway
nyone who drives by cant miss it.
Theres 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. Its 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.
Its 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
dont 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.
Its 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.
Its 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, its a free for all, says
Blankley.
