the fundraiser will be a"family event," Mindy

held for six years, but pre-

New York City and were
not as family-oriented.Mindy said they decided
"to make it family-focusedbecause Oliver really want-
ed to be a part of it and we
also wanted to bring it back
to the community that has

The Presbyterian Church of Livingston plans to hold a fourweek course dealing with The Bible
and marriage equality starting Tues., May5, at 7 p.m. in the Ackerman Center.According to Pastor Dan Martian, the
church’s Pastor, the course is intended tofoster healthy conversation on this contro-versial subject. The teaching will includeuse of Professor and Theologian MarkAchtemeir’s book that deals with the bib-lical application of marriage equality aswell as the Clergy Corner episode thatdealt with the issue. Other material usedwill be provided through the CovenantNetwork of Presbyterians, which is an
organization within the PresbyterianChurch (USA) to promote inclusion of allGod’s people. Since, March 17, a majorityof the 171 presbyteries of the PresbyterianChurch have approved an amendment tothe church’s Book of Order that describesmarriage as “a unique relationshipbetween two people, traditionally a manand a woman.”
As Pastor Dan Martian points out, “Thechurch has not redefined marriage; it hasonly changed the wording in its churchconstitution.”
For more information on this course,contact the church office, at 973-992-2261; www.thepcl.us.

the majority of students score on an aver-
age proficiency level.
While Columbia High Schools offers
advanced placement classes for students,
only 43 percent participate in these class-
es. Of these students, 89 percent of them
pass their courses. On average, students
take three exams; 87 percent score well
enough to use these exams for college
credits.
“We have steadily increased over the
last several years the students ready and
wanting to step up to those challenges,
even this year seeing our numbers of stu-
dents enrolled in AP for next year signif-
icantly more than this current schoolyear,” said Columbia High School
Principal Elizabeth Aaron.
“We are proud of the way we’ve been
recognized in these rankings, but will
continue to measure ourselves first and
foremost by the work we do to make sure
every student at CHS is engaged, chal-
lenged, and nurtured every day,” she
said. “Rather than being about the way a
school is ‘run’, I think it’s more about the
culture we create for our students in
terms of what we expect from them,
which is excellence in all areas – their
academic efforts, their social growth and
development, and their contributions and
participation in all areas of school life.
Student effort and achievement in those
areas are what really help schools and
students create the kind of achievement
these rankings try to measure.”
The rankings were also determined by
calculating the school’s college readiness
index (CRI). The college readiness index
is determined by AP participation andtesting. To get the highest available CRI
ranking, 100, each twelfth-grade student
would have to take and pass at least one
AP exam before or during their senior
year. Livingston High School was ranked
with a CRI of 56.5, and Columbia High
School had a ranking of 39.4.

Fifth grade teacher Amy Pacifico got a
big surprise on May 11 when State
Senator Theresa Ruiz paid a specialvisit to Pleasantdale Elementary School in
West Orange to recognize her during the
conclusion of National Teacher
Appreciation Week.
The New Jersey Parent Teacher
Association (NJPTA) and New JerseyPrincipals and Supervisors Association
(NJPSA) launched an E-Card campaign
with other organizations in the We Raise NJ
coalition, encouraging parents and students
to send specially designed e-cards to theirteachers from May 4-8.
Pacifico spent her entire education career
at Pleasantdale, first as a Kindergartenteacher, then as a third, fourth, and fifth
grade teacher. She was shocked to learn that
the assembly she was attending was in herhonor.
“Teaching is the most rewarding job in
the world,” she said. “Pleasantdale has been
my second home.”
“To be successful, there are four pillarson which you can build: Dedication,
Devotion, Discipline and Determination,"noted Pleasantdale Principal Dr. Joanne
Pollara. “For those of us who dare to teach,
we recognize the importance of these quali-
ties. Amy Pacifico demonstrates these char-
acteristics each day.”
Ruiz, who serves as chair on the SenateEducation Committee and Joint Committee
on Public Schools, arrived with Rose
Acerra, president-elect of the NJPTA to rec-
ognize Pacifico for 25 years of service to the
Pleasantdale School community and presenther with e-cards sent by students and par-
ents.
Ruiz expressed her support for education
and turned to Pacifico, saying, “Thank you
for your service and dedication. Teaching isthe only profession where year after year,even when you are done, the miracle still
continues to grow.”
“Pacifico had a profound effect on my
daughter,” said Pleasantdale PTA President
Jenn Tunnicliffe. “Imagine the impact shehas had on our students over the past 25
years.”
Pacifico was touched as the fifth grade
Ms. Pacifico with Rose Acerra, President-Elect of the NJPTA.
Pleasantdale Teacher Recognized by State Senator
chorus sang “Tis a Gift to be Simple.” As the
assembly drew to a close, Pollara stepped to
microphone to dismiss the students and said,
“For 25 years Amy has been a shining exam-
ple of what it means to be called “teacher. It
is my joy to honor her for her service to the
children of Pleasantdale School. She is a
role model for all of us.”

he arrival of the vacation season
brings on the “bed bug” season,
according to Stan Grabowski, gen-eral manager of Green Heat NJ.Com
LLC, a New Jersey State Licensed Pest
Control Company that treats properties
for bed bug infestations.
As the country enters vacation mode of sun and fun, travelers should be aware that
bed bugs are an ongoing problem and con-
cern for the public. These little pests are
around and they travel too; they are actu-
ally hitch hikers. The bed bug maneuverstheir travel through the luggage and cloth-
ing of the unsuspecting traveler. Theirinfestations can be found almost any-
where. Hotels, motels, summer rentals,
even the quaint little bed & breakfast can
be a contributor to passing on the spreadof these little creatures. Some of the finest
brands in the hospitality business, “well
known names,” in hotels/motels have had
to confront infestations.
The bed bug problem has touched onmore than one industry. Aside from the
hospitality industry, the bed bug has alsobeen found in transportation, like rail and
air travel. They have also been found in
movie theaters, day care centers and sum-
mer overnight camps. The presence of
bed bugs can be found almost anywhere,and the traveler should become aware of
this, especially when staying in
motel/hotels.
Here are a few preventative tips the
traveler could do that may help preventbringing them home. At check- in, inspect
all furniture, not just beds when renting
rooms or summer rentals. Look inside the
drawers of bedside stands, bureaus andhead boards for the little insects, look for
what appear as little dots; sometimes littledots are bugs. Sometimes these bugs can’t
be seen because they could be inside the
crack and crevices of the furniture, but
look anyway. Inspect the pillows and the
sheets; it won’t hurt.It would be a good practice to ask
about any prior issues with bed bugs at

If renting a house at the shore or in the
mountains ask the owner or agent outright
‘has the property ever had a bed bugproblem?’ Don’t be shy about asking.Pull back the sheets and inspect the
bedding and the mattress. Keep clothes
off the floors and furniture. Keep luggage
either elevated off the floor or place in a
large contractor size plastic trash bag. It
is also a good idea when traveling to keep
all clothes inside plastic bags or on hang-ers. It may sound like paranoia or even
over kill but these few steps when takenmay just prevent someone from bringing

Earbuds enable music lovers to enjoytheir favorite tunes uninterruptedand without distracting others
around them. People often use earbuds
while commuting to work, at the gym andeven at home. But according to hearing aidmanufacturer Belltone, noise-induced hear-ing loss can occur by using earbuds at ahigh volume for extended periods of time.
Earbuds can put audio signals close to theinner ear, which is the equivalent of boost-ing it by nine decibels. Even moderatelyhigh volume can cause hearing loss. It’s
important to keep the volume low and totake frequent breaks when using earbuds.Keep earbud volume below 60 percent andwear them for no more than 60 minutes perday.

Many people strug-
gle to find their
passion in life,
while others discover it at a
young age. David Guy, aWest Orange High School
senior, fell in love with art as
a child and on May 4,
received the second place
medal for a Congressional
Art Award for the 10thDistrict from Congressman
Donald Payne Jr.
“My art has always been
influenced by the things
around me,” Guy said. “The
environment or my internalenvironment, it’s all an
interpretation of my
thoughts and what’s going
on around here. Visual art isa way to you to see some-
one’s sight to convey an
emotion. If you’re skilled
enough, it makes the world a

West Orange Student Finds His Place In Art 1982.
Students submit entries
to their representative’soffice and artists select the
winning entries. Winners are
recognized in their districtand at an awards ceremony
in Washington, D.C. The artis displayed for a year at the
U.S. Capitol.
Guy, 18, began drawing
cartoons with his brother,
Aubrey Tucker, 28, in ele-mentary school, but in sixth
grade, had to choose
between visual arts and
musical arts in school and
selected music. While heplayed bass, his love for artnever faltered. He did art at
home and would often get
yelled at by teachers for
drawing in class. In addition
to Aubrey, Guy was influ-enced by his eighth grade
reading teacher William
O’Toole, and his other
brother Eric Vasson, 26,
who attended the Art
Institute in Philadelphia.“Music was something
that I was good at, but it
always felt like work,” hesaid. “Art was something
that was natural.”He returned to visual arts
his junior year and quickly
caught up to his classmates.
His favorite thing to draw is
the human body because heloves biology and anatomy.
“It gives me a way to do
both things I love doing,” he
said.
Although he never wonany awards for art, his artteacher Heather Young
knew he had the talent to
win. In April, he entered the
contest and thought the
competition was a good wayto show off his work. He
submitted a piece titled,
“Always There For You,”
which he made in class.
“Going into the event I
didn’t know what toexpect,” he said. “Once I
looked at all the pieces, I felt
I would at least win a medalor place. I was trying to get
across a social message of female African Americans
in society today.”
Guy will be studying art
at the number one ranked
art school in nation, RhodeIsland School of Design.
He is an advanced place-
ment art student and a
member of the West

West Orange resident and Holocaust survivor
Fran “Fay” Malkin returned to Roosevelt
Middle School on May 13 to share her story of
survival with students and provide an oral history of her
experiences as a young child whose family was hidden in
a hayloft in Sokal, Poland, above a pigsty for 20 months.RMS Teacher Jay Wecht arranged the visit as part of
his Holocaust curriculum.
“What you will hear today is not something that can be
found in a book or on a computer screen,” said Wecht.
“Take with you Fran Malkin’s message that says ‘I will
not be defeated’.
Malkin, now 76, was four years old when Polish
Catholics Francisca Halamajowa and her daughter Helan
Liniewyska hid 16 of her Jewish neighbors, including
Malkin and her family, in a hayloft above her pigsty.
Approximately 6,000 Jews resided in Sokal on the eve of
World War II; by the end of the war, only 33 had survived,half of them saved by Halamajowa, who received a
posthumous “Courage to Care Award” from the Anti-
Defamation League in 2011.
An early victim of the Sokal holocaust was Malkin's
father Eli, who was rounded up along with other Sokal
Jewish notables aged 14-60 in 1941, taken outside the
town and shot after being forced to dig their own graves.
Many of the other Jews were taken to Belzec, a death
camp in Poland, where it is estimated 850,000 men,
Holocaust Survivor Visits Roosevelt Middle School women and children died.
Malkin herself almost lost her life. Unable to stop cry-
ing after they had been hidden, her family tried to poison
her so that she would not give them away. The effort failed
and Malkin survived, adjusting to life in hiding until the
liberation of Poland on July 19, 1944.In 2009, a documentary entitled “No. 4 Street of Our
Lady,” detailing the story of Halamajowa and those she
saved, was released. Malkin’s uncle Moshe Maltz also
published his diary, “Years of Horror, Glimpse of Hope:
The Diary of a Family in Hiding,” in 1996.
“What I felt throughout my childhood was that there
was no normalcy,” said Malkin. Her family was found in
a refugee camp after the war by an American relative who
sponsored their move to America. They settled in Newark.
“After the war, no one talked about it,” she continued.
It was not until they began filming the documentary
that Malkin began to talk about her experiences and mem-ories. “Talk to your parents and grandparents,” Malkin
told the students. “Everyone has a story to tell.”
Malkin ended the assembly by taking a few questions
and commenting that the world has not changed much
since WWII, citing ISIS and other terrorist organizations,
as well the progression of bullying.
“You follow a group because they make you feel
important,” Malkin noted, connecting bullying to the rise
of Germany under Hitler’s rule. “But bullying always
Fran “Fay” Malkin
leads to more.
“Being a victim is the worst thing you can do,” she
concluded. “No matter what you go through you have to
prevail…you have to go on with your life. You can’t let
them win.”

There is no breaking the chain in a
Verona man’s efforts to end child
slavery in Ghana, West Africa.It has been nine years since Evan
Robbins, 50, of Verona has been dedicatedto “rescuing, rehabilitating and rejuvenat-
ing” child slaves. Since 2006, Robbins has
rescued 51 children and is caring for 73through a social worker in Ghana. In 2011,
he started his non-profit organization,
Breaking The Chain Through Education
(BTCTE), Inc.
Although child trafficking is illegal
worldwide, there are more trafficked peo-ple today than in any other time in history,
Robbins explains on his website. Human
trafficking is the fastest growing criminalactivity with a global annual market of
$42.5 billion, with children often takenfrom exploited families in impoverished
regions throughout the world. But instead
of receiving an income or education as the
families are promised, the trafficked chil-
dren undergo ‘severe physical and mentaltrauma’ and don’t develop normally as a
child should.
“Children shouldn’t be sold; nobody
should be a slave,” says Robbins,founder/president of BTCTE, and social
studies teacher at Metuchen High School.
“Children are so vulnerable.”
Robbins began his efforts nine yearsago when his daughter, Mia, was six yearsold and “had a little six-year old illness.”
At that time, he was reading an article in
the “New York Times” about a six year old
boy who was a child slave that had been
trafficked, working 15 hour days, fed onemeal a day, beaten and forced to dive under
the water to untangle fishing nets, at risk of
drowning or getting injured.
“When I thought about my daughter’s
life and this kid’s life,” says Robbins, he
thought, “we are caring for her and no oneis caring for him.”
In his first year, Robbins invited a
speaker- a former slave from Sudan,
Africa- to his class at Metuchen High
School, to start working on the issue of trafficking and slavery in Ghana. They
began their fundraising efforts through the
International Organization for Migration.
Robbins then sponsored a walk and raised
Verona Man Rescues Child Slaves In Ghana
$7,000; followed by a walk and dinner,
along with his daughter’s Bat Mitzva proj-
ect the following year, raising more than$20,000; and another fundraiser in 2008,
raising $10,000.
It was in Feb. 2010, when Robbins
joined in on a nine-day rescue mission to
Ghana, and saw first-hand how the chil-
dren were working in the fishing industry
as slaves, getting up at 5 a.m.
“There were thousands,” describesRobbins. “We went to a few villages. We
tried to convince fisherman to rescue the
children. They agreed to five of them. It
was a lot of persuasion. We talked to themcontinued on next page

about why it was wrong to traffic children and how they
should be in school.”
Through that mission, Robbins was able to rescue four
boys and one girl, ages 12 to 14 years old, and broughtthem to a rehabilitation center.
“Girls were hard to get released,” he says, as womendid not want to lose their help with girls doing the clean-
ing, fetching water, cooking. “Life’s not easy for the
girls.”
In 2011, Robbins decided to send money to build a
school for the village so “they would have to release allthe children who were trafficked.” Through his efforts, he
was able to get 240 kids released from the village of Awate
Tornu.
When he returned in 2012, Robbins got to visit the K-
sixth grade school with its six classrooms and four offices.Four teachers from Ghana were placed by education serv-
ices, and that year, Robbins gave even more money to
build four teaching housing units to get teachers to live in
the village, with three more housing units added last year
to add three more teachers.
In Feb. 2012, Robbins returned with 11 people whowanted to help; among them was Dr. Elizabeth Chalom of
Livingston and three of her children.
“We got to see some of the kids who were freed,” says
Chalom, Many “looked down” and were “depressed.”
Chalom describes the village as “very primitive” with its
mud huts, one bathroom, “chickens running around.”Children are forced into slavery to “do the fishing and
run the boats” at Lake Volta in Ghana, the world’s largest
man-made lake, describes Chalom. The kids must gooverboard to free the nets when they get tangled, causing
some to drown, “one got poked in the eye.”Robbins describes on his website: “Hundreds of chil-
dren wake up before sunrise and head out onto the lake as
fishing assistants. These young boys’ and girls’ parents
sold them into slave like conditions in the hopes of getting
supplemental income and/or an education for their chil-
dren. Many of these children are sold when they are justthree or four years old. These children work on rickety
fishing boats from sunrise to sunset every day. The labor
is so physically demanding, the burdens placed on the
young children distort their bodies forever. The “fishingchildren” receive no education, are fed sparingly (oftenonly receiving a single meal a day, if that), and often die
of untreated illnesses, or directly because of their labor.
“Because Lake Volta is a man-made lake, there are
many trees underwater that often get caught in the fishing
nets. When this happens the children are forced to diveinto the freezing water to free the net from the branches.
Quite often, in an attempt to free the net, the fishing chil-
dren end up getting caught in it themselves, drowning as
they try to escape. There are thousands of these fishing
children throughout Lake Volta, and it is estimated that
hundreds, even thousands, of children have died as adirect cause of their forced labor.”
Robbins plans to visit every child they have rescued
when he returns for the fifth time with his wife, Alisa, anddaughter, Maya, for three weeks this July. Ten additional
kids were rescued last month through his efforts, alongwith 20 others rescued by another organization, but
BTCTE will now take care and look after them, says
Robbins. He has hired a social worker to look after 73
kids; sends food four times a year.
This summer he plans to explore the idea of building an
orphanage boarding school for those children with noplace to go. He had put three children in boarding school
this year because “their home situation wasn’t safe.”
“Our mission is unique that we see kids all the way to
the end,” says Robbins. “Those children jump in my armsand thank me for saving their lives. Traffic children don’tsmile. Shortly they are rescued, they become children
again.”
Through his work, Robbins says they face many chal-
lenges, like young girls having babies. He is sending one
girl he rescued for vocational training to become a baker.The other challenge is getting the children, who are so far
behind, educated. “One is 22 and is starting high school
because he spent ten years on a fishing boat.”

The temperatures are rising and the
birds are chirping- great motivationto resume favorite warm weather
activities. For runners, that means the start
of spring training.Creating a seasonal race schedule and
planning running goals is exciting and
crossing the finish line nothing shy of rewarding. If more time is spent in slippers
than running shoes during the Winter, take
it slow.
The couch-to-5K is a popular training
plan for runners who want to get off thecouch and run 3.1 miles after just a couple
of weeks. If looking to run a 5K for the
first time, simply focus on the distance
knowing PB- personal best- will be set up
on race day. As the second or third race isbuilt up, focus more on time. A 5K is con-
sidered the entry level distance for road
races and the most beginner friendly
choice if looking to break into road racing.
So, how long is a 5K race? It would be
like running across a football field 54.68times, running around all four bases of a
regulation baseball diamond 45.47 times,running the length of an NBA regulation
court 174.13 times or running a little less
than a fourth of the length of Manhattan. A
5K is long enough to be a challenge, but,
not so far to be discouraging.At 3.1 miles, a 5K is a very doable run-
ning distance.
Start out easy. Runners shouldn’t
expect to start where they left off. Just
because five miles was run six months ago,
does that mean that can be done rightaway. Start workouts slowly with less
mileage, less time and a decrease in inten-
sity. Running is an extremely challenging
activity so don’t make it any harder than
necessary when starting out. For the firstfew months, stick to flat paths or run on a
treadmill keeping the incline low. Wait to
incorporate speed, intervals or longer
workouts. By adding speed sessions and
longer workouts too soon, chance of
injuries is increased. Build cardiovascularendurance and gradually increase the
workout length.
Warm up and cool down, hydrate and
Couch to 5K 101 Tips Offered To Ease Into Running Seasondiet. If the body is eased into each run, bet-
ter preparation to sustain effort will keep
one going. Start and finish every run with
three to five minutes of walking. Now isthe perfect time to start reevaluating the
diet andhydration needs. By staying hydrated
and eating balanced meals, the energy and
stamina will conquer any work out.
Go shopping. Running requires very lit-tle equipment. All one really needs is a
good pair running shoes and for women, a
supportive sports bra. For footwear, visit a
local running specialty store and get prop-
erly fitted.Walk, run-walk, then run. If brand new
to regular exercise, start by walking for the
first three weeks, 30 minutes, severaltimes a week. Gradually mix in a little run-
ning – try 60 seconds and build up from
there. Soon running will be more withwalking will be less until none at all.
Take the talk test. Remember to start
out easy. If alone, recite the Pledge of
Allegiance a few times. If struggling to get
the words out, the run is too hard.
Mix in the activities most enjoyed
Increase that fitness level while decreasing
repetitive muscle fatigue by cross training.
Try yoga, pilates, biking, skating and any-thing to get moving.
Set a personal goal. A dangling carrotkeeps the motivation flowing. Register for
a local 5K road race or aim to run a certain
number of miles or minutes each month.
It’s helpful to find a running partner andkeep one another motivated.
Track progress. Keeping a log is a great
way to see where one has been and where
one is going. Whether online or on paper,
document each run. Include time, pace andhow it felt to see what is working.
Now is the time to tie those laces and
sign up for a local race. Some options forthe next few weekends include: Sat., May

Tips To Protect From Risks Inside Home
With the warm weather finally here, it’s time
for spring cleaning. That means protecting
family members from the unseen hazards andunintentional home injuries that occur.
According to the Home Safety Council, over 10 mil-
lion unintentional home injuries result in visits to hospi-tal emergency rooms in the U.S. every year. Two of the
leading causes of injuries at home are falls and poison-
ings – they cause more than half of the 20,000 homedeaths every year.
Here are some tips to help prevent family members
from becoming one of those statistics!
“First of all,” said Livingston Fire Chief Christopher
Mullin, “we recommend that residents consider usingnon-toxic cleaners. For example, toothpaste works well
for polishing silver, and lemon juice is natural bleach.
Baking soda works well for cleaning on tile and sinks,
and when mixed with vinegar, it's great for cleaning outdrains.”
Always read the labels, and follow the safety instruc-
tions when using harsh cleaning products. Don’t forget
to wear gloves, masks, or protective goggles as instruct-
ed, especially when working with corrosive chemicals.
Look for the words “Caution,” “Warning,” “Danger,”
“Poison,” or “Keep Out of Reach of Children.” Store thecontainers safely and securely by locking these products
up when they are not in use.
Properly discard of hazardous and flammable chemi-cals that are out of date or that are no longer needed.
Essex County holds several Hazardous Waste Disposal
days each year. The next one will be held in the fall.
Falls can be prevented by keeping stairs, steps, land-
ings, and floor areas clear of clothes, toys and clutter.Make sure that area rugs are secured with non-skid pads,
and that telephone and electrical cords are safely tucked
away.
When climbing to reach something, use a ladder –
not a chair or table or other unsecure equipment. When
using a ladder, wear slip-resistant shoes when climbing,and make sure the ladder is on level ground. Open the
ladder completely and engage all locks. Stand at or
below the highest safe-standing level. For a stepladder,
the safe-standing level is the second rung from the top;
for an extension ladder, it's the fourth rung from the top.
“The most important things you can have in yourhome are a working carbon monoxide and smoke detec-
tors, and fire extinguishers,” said Mullin. “These sys-
tems are designed to provide early detection, and are
essential for your family’s safety. They really do save
lives.”Install UL-approved smoke and carbon monoxide
(CO) detectors on every level of your home. Smoke
detectors should be located within 10’ of all sleeping
areas. Additional smoke detectors should be placed on
the ceiling at the bottom of every stairwell. Smoke andheat travel horizontally across the ceiling and travel up
the stairwell using the “chimney effect” filling the upper
floors with deadly heat and gases. Test these alarms
monthly to make sure that they are working.
“If a homeowner has only one Carbon MonoxideDetector in the residence, it’s important that the detector
be located within 10’ of the sleeping area,” continued
Mullin. “If you have more than one detector, the addi-
tional detector should go within 10’ of the utility room
doors. Detectors in sleeping areas protect families when
they are sleeping and not aware if they are experiencingany of symptoms of CO poisoning.”
Replace carbon monoxide detectors every five years,
and replace smoke detectors every 10 years.
Be sure to have a fire extinguisher in every kitchen
area, and possibly others in different other areas of their
homes. Check the gauge on an extinguisher every fewmonths to make sure that it is fully charged. Residents
should also develop a fire escape plan for their homes.
Plans should identify two escape routes from each room,
and specify a place for all family members to meet out-
side the home. Practice the fire escape plan with yourfamily.
Mullin also recommends cleaning the lint out of your
clothes dryer’s “firing chamber” now.
