by Kerry Breen

On Aug. 14, three

local teens swamseven miles in

Lake Hopatcong in an

effort to help a Roxbury

High School graduate,

Emerline Tabares, afford

medical bills that arose

after she was diagnosed

with a brain tumor.

The tumor was found

after an accidental fall

landed Tabares in theemergency room. An MRI

scan revealed the tumor.

Doctors were optimistic

about her prognosis,

believing that the tumor

could be removed, leading

to a high chance of a suc-

cessful cure, and they

wound up being right.

“Emerline is doing

wonderfully,” said DarrenMcDonald, the father of

one of the swimmers.

McDonald was one of the

driving forces behind the

charity event. “She has a

few headaches now and

then, but she’s doing well.She plans to play lacrosse

in the fall.”

Tabares is attending

Montclair State University

as a freshman. However,

the Tabares family was

still left facing medical

bills following the

removal of the tumor. It

was here that McDonald

began to think of ways totry and help the family.

“About three months

[before the swim], I got

this wacky idea,”

McDonald said. “I asked

my son what he thought

about swimming in the

lake as part of a charity

event, and he agreed, as

did his friends. Emerline

coached my seventh gradedaughter in cheerleading,

and there had just been a

car wash done to try and

raise funds for her medical

bills, so I thought that that

seemed like a good

cause.”A GoFundMe page was

quickly assembled. As of

Sept. 11, it had raised

$3,213, more than half of

the $5,000 goal.

“We put in the goal ran-

domly,” said McDonald.

“We wanted to see what

we could do, how we

could contribute, even if it

was only a little bit.”So far, 46 different peo-

ple and organizations have

donated. Every little bit

has been helpful.

“They’re a great fami-

ly,” said McDonald.

“Emerline has a single

mom, and she was work-

ing two jobs trying to put

herself through school

when this happened. Wewant to thank everyone

who donated and helped

this family out.”

The swim took place on

Charity Swim For Brain Tumor Survivor Raises MoreThan Three Thousand Dollars

Aug. 14, on a beautiful

Friday morning. Justin

Viotto, 15, TylerMcDonald, 15, and Jaime

Viotto, 18, swam seven

miles across Lake

Hopatcong, accompanied

by a police boat and

EMTs, along with five

regular boats that formed

a protective bubble around

the boys. Luckily for the

swimmers, the day was

clear and the water wasnot choppy, which would

have presented an addi-

tional challenge.

The boys managed the

seven-mile swim in four

hours and 15 minutes. The

boys are all experienced

competitive swimmers,

swimming for the Morris

County Swim Club and

their high-school teams.“We allotted six to

seven hours for the swim,”

said McDonald. “This is

the largest man-made lake

in the state. Not many

people have swam in it, letalone for this long. We

thought it would be a good

addition to the bucket list,

as well as being a dona-

tion to a good cause.”

Invisalign offers many benefits for

those who desire straighter teeth. Withso many dentists now doing Invisalign,

how does one choose?

Like a general dentist, an orthodontistmust first receive their doctorate in gener-

al dentistry. After this, they must completean additional two to three years of gradu-

ate training in orthodontics. As a special-

ist, the orthodontist limits his or her time

exclusively to orthodontic treatments.

When someone chooses to go to a dentist

for Invisalign, treatment is given, but not

the additional education and experience

that comes with choosing an orthodontist.The patient benefits from the additional

training the orthodontist has acquired.

Choosing an experienced doctor can

make all the difference. By selecting a

Premier Invisalign Provider, a provider is

Choosing The Right Invisalign Provider chosen who is ranked in the top 10 per-

centile of all Invisalign providers. Thisranking is based on the experience of the

doctor and the number of patients they

have successfully treated. Dr. Eric Frank,an orthodontist at Seidner Dentistry and

The football, soccer, tennis, cross

county, volleyball, field hockey andcheer teams from Roxbury High

School recently united to learn the warning

signs of dating abuse and pledge their com-

mitment to take a stand against it. The ath-

letes received small yellow cards, like the

ones used as warnings in soccer, lacrosse,and rugby that read on one side, “Dating

doesn’t have a playbook, but it does have

rules.” On the other side of the card is a list

of warning signs of a dating relationship.At the end of the presentation, athletes

signed a large pledge poster for display at

their school and received a t-shirt that

reads, “Don’t Get Yellow Carded. Take a

Stand Against Dating Abuse.” The event

took place inside the Roxbury High School

cafeteria in late August.

As domestic violence incidents contin-

ue to pervade the world of professionalsports, the Jersey Battered Women’s

Service (JBWS) is excited to bring the

Yellow Card Challenge to area schools.The program reaches out to young athletes

with a proactive message to encouragethem to become leaders in preventing dat-

ing violence.

Stu Mason, Roxbury High School’s

Athletic Director, opened the program and

emphasized the importance of the ath-

letes’ leadership role in their school and

community.

Through Yellow Card, JBWS leverages

their expertise to communicate a basic butcrucial message to college and high school

athletes that they can help prevent dating

violence. The program provides useful tips

for being an active bystander when wit-

nessing abuse and helping a friend or team-

mate.According to former high school foot-

ball player and spokesperson for the pro-

gram, Brendan McGrath, “By tapping into

the natural leadership role that athletes

often enjoy, the program is designed to

inspire athletes to set the tone in the lockerroom and the classroom that abuse in rela-

tionships is unacceptable. With Yellow

Card we reach these athletes at an impor-

tant and vulnerable time in their lives and

teach them not just how to make the rightchoices in their own relationships, but how

to promote healthy behavior in their

peers.”

The Yellow Card program involves

direct training sessions with teams andgroups of athletes as well as a wealth of

supporting activities and materials includ-

ing game-day awareness events, a broad

media campaign and

No2DatingAbuse.org, its resource website.This pledge is available for anyone who

wants to read and sign it on our website as

well.

Contact Regina Braham at 973- 267-

with any questions about the kickoff or theYellow Card campaign.

The Yellow Card campaign is a new

program that focuses on giving college

and high school athletes the tools to rec-

ognize the warning signs of dating abuseand lead the way in preventing it. As dat-

ing abuse continues to be a prevalent andoften under noticed problem among our

youth, the Yellow Card campaign will

work with athletes to use their role asleaders to address the issue with their

peers. More information about the Yellow

Card campaign can be found at

the neighboring towns. Step into old

churches; an early schoolhouse adapted for

use as a residence; a general store that

Washington for a two-day stay in 1780;

and railroad stations that once employed

ticket masters on railways that flourished

shortly before and after the Civil War.

Take time to contemplate the thought

Civil War soldiers in a cemetery adjacentto an 1800’s picture perfect country church

where Sunday services are still held.

Along the way, engage with period-cos-

tumed docents demonstrating spinning,

weaving and open-hearth cooking; see

18th century musket exhibits and witness aCivil War encampment reenactment; be

entertained by fiddle music; and visit a

farm dating to the early 1800’s with intact

original buildings. Some sites offer a

selection of books, gifts, souvenirs andrefreshments. Learn how throughout the

years the Morris Canal, the railways, themining industry, and agriculture influ-

enced commerce, and shaped and linked

R

ecently, a new concept has taken holdacross the country with “VirtualRuns.” A virtual run can be done by

individuals, families, or even groups. It’s aself-marathon – on a treadmill, in a park, orwherever.

The Rogue Runners, a new local compa-ny based in Rockaway, combines the runswith raising money for charity, offering evenmore fun with monthly special themedevents and medallions. The first event is forthe kickoff of the next season of the WalkingDead in October, called The Running Dead.Registered participants receive a speciallydesigned commemorative medal (bling) andcan choose one of two charities to benefitfrom part of their registration fee.Individuals or groups can walk, jog, or run.For even more fun, fans of the various seriesor movies can make up event costumes!The Rogue Runners site and Facebookpages will highlight photos sent in by partic-ipants.

Those interested can get more details ath t tp : / /www.theroguerunners .com/ .Registration for the first three virtual runs isunder way now. For those who have entered5K runs before, cost can be anywhere from

$45-$75 for registration fees. The RogueRunners only asks for $25 per registrant,with much of fee going to charity and for the“bling” medallions. A pretty good deal!

Besides The Running Dead in October,there is another one in November tied intothe fourth and final movie in the HungerGames franchise called “The District 10K”and for the new Star Wars movie coming outin December called “The (ma=) ForceAwakens Run.”

Carry Crawford of Rockway, the compa-ny developer, admits she, her family, andmany of her friends are real geeks.

“We all love all these great TV series andmovies,” said Crawford. “We wanted tocome up with a way of having fun whileexercising, and raise money for some wor-thy charities at the same time.” She went onto suggest that, “groups of fans can plan aspecial event day with props and costumesand they’ll get a special remembrance of their event with the great bling we’re offer-ing.”

Like many people, you may enjoy

investing. After all, it can be invig-orating to put away money for your

future, follow the performance of your

investments and track the progress you’re

making toward your long-term goals, such

as a comfortable retirement. However, youmight be less excited about doing estate

planning, dreading the perceived time,

effort and cost. Yet, you can make the

entire process more manageable by break-

ing it up into specific tasks.What are these tasks? Everyone’s needs

are different, but here are a few sugges-

tions that may be applicable to your situa-

tion:

• Purchase life insurance. If somethingwere to happen to you, would your familybe able to stay in the house? Would your

children be able to go to college? You

should have sufficient life insurance to

take care of these and other essential

needs. You might hear about various “for-mulas” for how much insurance you

should purchase, but you may be better off

by working with a financial professional

— someone who can evaluate your assets,

goals and family situation, and then rec-

ommend an appropriate level of coverage.

• Draw up your will. For most people, a

will is probably the most essential estate-planning document. Regardless of the size

of your estate, you need a will to ensure

that your assets and personal belongings

will be distributed according to your wish-

es. If you die intestate (without a will),your belongings will be distributed to your

“heirs” as defined by state laws — and

these distributions may not be at all what

you had in mind.

• Consider a living trust. Depending on

your situation, you may need to go beyond

a will when drawing up your estate plans.For example, you might want to create a

living trust, which can allow your assets to

go directly to your heirs, avoiding the pub-

lic, time-consuming and expensive processof probate. A living trust offers other bene-

fits, too, so you may want to consult with a

legal professional to learn more about this

estate-planning tool.

• Check beneficiary designations. The

“Step-by-Step” Approach Can Ease Estate-Planning Processbeneficiary designations on your insurance

policies and retirement accounts, such as

your IRA and 401(k), are powerful and can

even supersede the instructions left in your

will. So it’s in your best interests to makesure you’ve got the right people listed as

your beneficiaries. Over time, you may

need to update these designations to reflect

changes in your family situation.

• Make final arrangements. Whenever

you pass away, it will be a stressful time

for your loved ones. To ease their burden,

consider establishing a “payable-on-death”

account at your bank, and then funding thisaccount to pay for your funeral and related

expenses.

• Share your plans. The most compre-

Fistball was invented in ancient Italyin the year of 1955. During theRenaissance noblemen played fist-

ball to past time. In 1870, Georg Weber

introduced fistball to central Europe. Itwas soon after that the sport spread toNorth and South America and West Africaby German emigrants. In 2015, fistballmade its mark on the fields of the FlandersSwim and sports club.

“When you’re here, you’re family.”That was the atmosphere on the fistballfields on Friday’s second day of the FirstPan American Fistball Games. But thequestion on most people’s minds was whatis fistball?

For Robert Feid, fistball is “volleyballwith a bounce.” Feid, coordinator for thefirst Pan American Fistball games, workeddiligently to make sports history and bringfistball to the fields of Flanders.

“It’s been a lot of work, but I’veenjoyed every minute of it,” Fied said.

The Pan American Games included theUnited States Men and Women’s NationalTeam, Columbia, Argentina, Brazil, andChile. According to Fied, the U.S. was

asked by the International FistballAssociation to host the first Pan AmericanGames, and to him it was an offer hecouldn’t refuse.

In 1928 the Flanders Swim and Sports

Club was established. In its start-up years,handball was the sport of choice betweenmembers of the club. Its members of allbackgrounds have participated in thefriendly competition of handball, fistball,and soccer.

“This sport is a great for families,because fistball is for all ages,” saidReinhard Kindler, father to Eric KindlerU.S.A’s striker for the national team.Kindler’s father has played fistball for aslong as he could remember. He had the

honor in 1999 to play on the U.S.A.national team during the 1999 SwitzerlandFistball Games.

It was “watching my dad play thatsparked my extreme interest to join thenational team,” Kindler’s son said. Kindleris now 23, and highly recommends thegame of fistball to athletes.

“Fistball is intense,” Kindler said. “If you’ve ever watched volleyball it’s alongthose lines of intensity, but having to cover

Flanders Swim And Sports Club Hosts First Pan American Fistball Games

more field and run around and dive makesit that much more intense in my eyes.”

Most of the U.S.A National Fistballteam carries players all the way fromWisconsin. The players for the Men’s teaminclude; Eric Kindler, Mat Henrichs, SteveKucera, Aaron Weninger, Keith Schweda,Kris Graham, Pat White, Mat Ogin, JackStern, Matt Ayling, and Todd Strassberger.

The game of Fistball has 11 players,with five players on the field at a time. The

game is played to 11 points, and it’s besttwo out of three games for who wins.There are setters, defenders, and spikers oneach team, and before and after each teamplays the players will thank each other forthe opportunity to play and wish them allthe best.

For the men’s team they all could agreethat Brazil was their biggest competitionthat weekend.



13/28


“We’re excited for some friendly com-petition against new countries,” said MatHenrichs, player on the men’s national team,“and to get to have some great conversations

with new people from all over the world.”In the women’s world of fistball,U.S.A’s Women’s National Team makes up

players who have been involved with fist-ball all their lives and some who recently

just picked it up.Kay Crosby, 25, captain for the women’s

team, had played volleyball for almost all

her life, and upon researching more aboutthe history of volleyball and the connectionfistball had to it, she found herself learning

the ropes for the sport.“I have been playing for five years,”

Crosby said. “I started in 2010, and some of our girls started in June so our team reallyranges from a lot of years to a very few

months.”“We’re most excited to be able to playwith both the national teams from othercountries and the club teams,” Crosbyadded. “It’ll help us gain more experienceand learn more.”

The women’s U.S.A. National teamincludes, Kay Crosby, Ashley Sledzinski,Kristie Keating, Alex Buehning, CourtneyAbel, Bonnie Zobel, Tricia Groeber, andSadie Beacham.

In the finals for the national teams, bothBrazil men and women’s teams took firstplace, the Chilean women and men’s teamstook second place, the U.S. national teamsboth men and women took third place, and

the Columbia women and men’s nationalteams took fourth place.“These 200 young men and women are

going to go back to their communities andsay what a great time we had in RoxburyTwp,” said Christopher Raths, Townshipmanager of Roxbury. “We really enjoyed itall,” he added.

Jesus has entered on our behalf.” For Theresa

Solazzo, “hope means we’re bringing hope to the world

and the people around here.” Solazzo’s talent show has notonly impacted those around her, but those around the worldthrough God’s grace.

In its 11th year running, the annual Talent Show of

HOPE has continuously brought joy to the Roxbury area

backyard in July of 2005 after her youngest daughterAngelina had shared her love for the stage.

“We have always tried to give back to charity,” Solazzo

said. “We started with bake sales for charity, but after my

youngest daughter expressed her love for the stage we

decided to have a talent show in our backyard.”And the show was born. The talent show of hope start-

raised more than $70,000 in cash, goods, and t-shirts. “We

are able to do this, because God is faithful,” Solazzo said.

Jill Roland, neighbor to Solazzo, also helped to kick-

start the idea after attending the first year of the show. “Shereally encouraged us to continue on with it, because she

thought it was wonderful,” Solazzo said.

The show has reached places locally in need and as far

as countries around the world. Some of those include, The

Jersey Shore, Newark, Hudson County, Syria, Haiti,

Nigeria, Nepal and Israel. Some of their sponsors include

China House, Heartbeat Dance Center, and Legacy

Printing who donates about $50,000 towards the t-shirts

for the show.

“Nearly everything we raise goes to charity,” Solazzosaid. “We have sent money to an all girls’ school in

Tanzania, and used it to build a science lab and buy school

supplies.”

This year the show was able to reach Central Americain places such as Guatemala.

“It was our first time working with a Central American

country so we were very excited,” Solazzo added. The

show was able to send money to friends who are currently

helping those less fortunate in Saint Lucia. Solazzoexplained that they have been able to reach every continent

except Australia.

The Talent Show of HOPE is based on volunteers wholove to perform; they have had performers from two-years-

old to 89 years old.

“Anytime we see talent on the street we invite them,”said Angelina, Solazzo’s youngest daughter.

This year the show brought in about 55 performers, two

of them being big name dance groups who have performed

around the country and a few professional performers,

t i o n s

The first Tuesday of every August is

NNO-National Night Out. The com-

munity of Port Morris had its fourthannual event at the Port Morris/Perfetti Park.

This night is for residents to get to know

their neighbors, raise awareness of crimeprevention, and community watch. In the

past, a police officer spoke to the children toheighten their awareness on crime and drug

prevention and Roxbury Fire Dept #2

brought their truck and men to educate

everyone on fires.

Port Morris/Roxbury Twp. , is one of thefew communities to hold its local NNO as it

was intended to be – neighbors meeting

locally to celebrate and get better acquaint-

ed. In the past, more than 100 residents have

met at the park for a potluck dinner, music,games and friendship. It is also discussed

how to make our community a better place

to live.

Thanks to the Roxbury Police Chief

Simonetti, Officer Nicole, for taking thetime and sharing information with the chil-

Meet Neighbors And Prevent Crime At Port Morris National Night Out dren, as well as the attendance of the other

officers of the Roxbury Police Department

that stopped by. The donations from the

local business help in making the nightmemorable as well, Cliff’s Ice Cream, BJ’s

Wholesale Club, and The Ice Factory of Landing!

Also appreciated is the help of the neigh-

bors that gave their time and donations of

the potluck, and monetary amounts to make

this fun night out possible, and such a great

success! And finally, thanks goes out to

Kevin Abato, and his family for walking hisrobot to the park to entertain everyone! Not

every neighborhood has its own residentR2D2!

Until next year – see all the first Tues. of

Aug. 2016!

rivers who travel between the

United States and Canada or plan on

renting a car for an internationalbusiness trip or vacation should understandthat driving rules vary from country to coun-

try. One noticeable difference is the side of

the road vehicles travel on, as well as the

measurement system used for calculating

speed and distance. Although speedometerswill often feature both mph (miles per hour)

and kmh (kilometers per hour), it helps to

have a rough idea of the conversion between

the two speed measurements. Every mile per

hour in speed translates to roughly 1.7 kilo-

meters per hour. Therefore, if the postedspeed limit is 55 mph in the United States,

expect to travel at 88.5 kph in Canada.

Always heed speed limit postings and regu-

larly check your vehicle’s speedometer toensure you are driving at or below the legal

limit. Traffic offenses that might be tolerated

in one country may not be tolerated across

the border, so always obey the local laws

when behind the wheel.
