To accomplish third in
the nation for 12U
girls softball this
month was more than they
would have expected, but to
arrive home with decora-
tions and congratulation
signs on their lawns was
even a greater surprise.
The Mt. Olive 12U
Travel Softball team fin-
ished third out of 22 teams
who competed in the 2013
Babe Ruth World Series
Qualifier Tournament in
Alachua, FL, held Aug. 1
thru Aug. 6. From Mt.
Olive, 11 girls ages 11
through 13 got to compete
against the best girls in the
country- the first time in
seven years that Mt. Olive
qualified for the national
event.
The girls, their parents,
coaches, league organizers
and local supporters arevery proud of the teams
success.
The support we
received form our commu-
nity back home was amaz-
ing, says Kim Borozan,
softball mom of the 12U
travel team. When she and
her family got home from
Bottom row (L to R) : Bella Salafia, Alyssa Segnello, Kaitlin Pettenger, Lauren James. Middle row (L
to R): G abby Grillo, Alyssa Borozan, Charlotte Salafia, Izzy Hendrickson, Aliyah Lloyd, Julia Chang,
Annalee Smith. Back row (L to R): Coach Mike Borozan, Coach Chris Grillo, Manager Paul Segnello
MO Girls Softball Team Finishes Third In Nation
their long drive from
Florida, they were wel-
comed by a huge sign across
their front lawn, balloons on
their mailbox and house.The other travel teams
(8U, 10U and 14U) were
following us on
gamechanger.io the entire
time we were there and
when we returned the moms
from the 10U travel team
decorated all 11 girls homes
and made bookets with all
of the stats from
gamechanger as a keep sake
for the girls, says Borozan.
This was a once in a
lifetime opportunity for ourgirls, says Paul Segnello,
newly appointed vice presi-
dent of Mt Olive Softball
and team manager. We
were honored to earn the
right to play in this national
tournament and compete
against other high caliber
teams from all across the
country.
There are over 2,200
Babe Ruth tournament
teams at the 12U level in the
entire country and we wereone of 22 that qualified,
says Segnello. To achieve
third in the country is
beyond our expectations but
also shows the high quality
of our Mt. Olive softball
program and how it stacks
up on a national stage.

To qualify for a Babe Ruth World Series,
a team must either win a regional tourna-
ment or win a World Series Qualifier
Tournament. Mt. Olive 12U Travel Softballteam won the Northern New Jersey Babe
Ruth World Series Qualifier tournament,
held June 7- 9 in Mt. Olive, which gave the
team an automatic bid into the 2013 Babe
Ruth World Series.
Out of the 11 games played during the
World Series tournament, which were held
at the Hal Brady Recreational Complex in
Alachua, FL, Mt Olives record was eight
wins and three losses.
Pitt County, NC was the champion.
We had the most wins of any team in
the tournament overall, says Segnello.
During the double elimination round, we
played three consecutive games on back to
back days in about 100 degree heat on both
days and ended up winning five out of the
six games. We played Santa Fe Florida in
the semi-final and lost in the last inning by
a score of six to five.
Segnello credits the teams success on
months of preparation and years of working
with these girls on improving their softball
skills and knowledge of the game since they
first entered the program, he says. We
also have very committed softball families
in Mt. Olive that sacrifice a great deal of
their personal time towards our program.
Our success is also due to the girls' compet-
itive attitudes and setting high expectations
for themselves whenever they take the
field.
The experience is one that will always be
cherished by those involved.
Anytime you get a chance to compete
against teams from all over the country is
extremely valuable experience, says
Segnello. They showed they can compete
with the best teams out there. Most impor-
tantly they now believe they belong to a
very elite group....one of the top teams in
the country. This experience will carry them
throughout their lifetime.
MO Girls Softball Team Finishes Third In Nation...Segnello says, As the manager of this
team and speaking for the other coaches, we
are so proud of the team's accomplishments
this year. Mt. Olive is a very small town-
ship in comparison to the other organiza-tions we've faced in the World Series. Look
at how far those very special 11 girls went
this year. What an incredible season.
Coach Mike Borozan says, This was an
amazing ride with an amazing group of
girls. They played their hearts out on the
field giving one 100 percent even when
playing three games a day in 102 degree
heat. They always represented themselves
and Mt. Olive in a professional manner
even in defeat. The citizens of Mt. Oliveshould be very proud of these girls. I know
I speak not only for myself but Coach Paul
Segnello, Coach Chris Grillo and Coach
John Lloyd, it was truly our honor to coach
these girls.

The research and resources funded
through Free to Breathe are reaching the peo-
ple who need them most, event organizer
Jim Dennison said. Together, were build-
ing the promise made to hundreds of thou-
sands of families across the country of life-
saving treatments and cures. Im proud to be
a part of this transformative effort, and I
encourage the entire community to join me
in embracing the Free to Breathe move-ment.
In support of Free to Breathe Morris

and local businesses championed the cause
by raising more than $42,000 to help patients
and families affected by lung cancer.
This year, Free to Breathe events across
the country will raise funds and unite lung
cancer survivors, families and friends.

Local Expert Shows NJ ParentsHow To Get The Most Money For
Their Childrens College Education
New Jersey parents suffering withfinding ways to pay for their chil-
drens college education can final-
ly get the solutions to their college funding
problems.
Most families who earn $75,000 or more
and own a home assume they are not eligi-
ble for financial aid. However, most fami-
lies with income over $100,000 are actually
eligible for some types of need based
financial aid. They simply need to know
how to get their fair share.According to Newell, there are several
easy things parents can do to substantially
increase the amount of money they get from
colleges. For example, There are several
schools that historically give better finan-
cial aid packages than others, says Newell.
If families do proper income and asset
planning before filling out the forms, they
can increase eligibility by thousands of dol-
lars.
Newell offers a few simple tips to par-
ents with college funding problems. If a
parent has only half an hour to end their col-lege funding problems, I would suggest the
following:
1. Make sure they do not over-value their
home on the financial aid forms
2. Try not to save money in the childs
name as it weighs more heavily than the
parents savings
3. Dont be afraid to negotiate with a col-
lege for a better financial aid package.
Newell offers New Jersey parents with
college funding problems a free booklet
that explains the 9 most common collegefunding problems and solutions. Free copies
will be distributed at the seminar listed
below.
Mr. Newell will be conducting a free
one-hour seminar for parents of college
bound high school juniors and seniors at the
following location: The Mt. Olive Public
Library on Wednesday, September 25 at
7:00 p.m.

As many of the Mt. Olive residents probably realized,we hosted the Babe Ruth Mid-Atlantic RegionalSoftball Championship Tournament on July 17-22
at both Turkey Brook Park and the Dan Jordan fields inFlanders.
It was a huge honor for us to be chosen as the host town the tournament consisted of 45 teams from 5 states(including Mt. Olive teams). Over 450 girls, ages 7-16 par-ticipated in Opening Ceremonies, Skills Competitions, and100 games.
For the magnitude of the event, we did not receive onecomplaint. Instead, we received endless complementsregarding every aspect of the event from the quality of thefields, facilities, friendliness of the local businesses and res-idents, and the township in general.
While everyone in our organization put in countlesshours, the overall impression would not have been possiblewithout the support of the rest of the community!
Frank Wilperts Department of Parks, Buildings, &Grounds went above and beyond the call of duty in ensur-ing that the parks in use were mowed, trimmed, mulched,and cleaned. The effort they put in, especially after have
just completed the Carnival, was nothing short of amazingand we could not have asked for a better partner in prepara-tions.
The Flanders and Budd Lake Fire and EMS teams, alongwith MOPD, were with us all weekend: providing cooling
Babe Ruth Tourney Runs Smoothstations, preventing parking/traffic issues, attending togame injuries, and even providing water for the extremelydry fields.
Our local businesses were generous in their sponsor-ships, and while we probably can not quantify the benefit
they may have received from 450 families being in town forthe long weekend, we truly hope that it was a profitableexperience.
The Somerset Patriots (TD Bank Stadium in Somerset)donated their facility for the opening ceremonies, whichprovided a professional-level atmosphere for the event andwas a wonderful way to welcome the teams to northernNew Jersey.
And last, but certainly not least, we appreciate thepatience of the Mt. Olive residents who had to contend withoverflow parking, extra traffic, and lost strangers for 5 ofthe hottest days of the year.
Unfortunately, as of now most of the comments/compli-
ments were verbally relayed, but one that was received viaemail stated We have never played in a better run tourna-ment, and really enjoyed our time in Mount Olive.
Again, thank you to everyone in Mt. Olive who helpedmake this event such a huge success.Sincerely,Mt. Olive Baseball/Softball Association &Mt. Olive Travel Softball
Many families may be surprised at how much theyspend on school supplies: According to a recentarticle in the University of Pennsylvanias
Wharton Magazine, for the average person with children ingrades K through 12, it comes to nearly $700 a year. To helpyou get the most for your money, consider these eight ideas:
1. Try to get a list from your childs teacher ahead oftime. The teacher may require specific brands, sizes orquantities.
2. Subscribe to a newspaper. It encourages reading and
can give kids extra knowledge and incentive in history,civics, English and science classes.3. Depending on the childs grade, youll probably need
glue, scissors, ballpoint pens, No. 2 pencils, colored pen-cils, a pencil sharpener, a large pink eraser, water-basedmarkers, spiral-bound or composition notebooks, and athree-ring binder with loose-leaf notebook paper.
4. Get pocket folders with two pockets. Label one keepat home and the other bring to school to help your childorganize his papers.
5. Get a calendar for scheduling assignments, sportspractice and so on.
6. A pack of index cards for making flash cards can also
come in handy.7. Lots of books of all kinds.8. A way to carry it all. Its a fact: Kids are tough on stuff.
But today, kids are carrying many more delicate things likeelectronics, phones and sunglasses. The days of the simplebackpack are over. Today, kids need places to put laptops,tablets, cables and cords along with schoolbooks andpapers. The Thule EnRoute series is a great option for allthese needs. The packs come in four colors and four sizes,and feature a large main compartment with a padded sleevefor a laptop and a separate pocket for a tablet. There is evena heat-molded compartment, called a SafeZone, to protectthose smaller, fragile items.

W
hile others have been spending the summer
jumping in pools or lakes, Keturah Orji of Budd
Lake has been jumping for track beating records
and winning medals.
Orji, 17, a rising senior at Mt. Olive High School, recent-
ly competed in the IAAF (International Association of
Athletics Federation) World Championships held July 10-
14 in Donetsk, Ukraine. She brought home a bronze medal
in the triple jump and a silver medal in the long jump.
Her success in track may take her all the way to the
Olympics some day, some say, and to watch her jump and
compete right in Mt. Olive has been very exciting to those
who have witnessed her athleticism.
Keturah is a very special athlete...a Haley's Comet if you
will...who only comes once in a blue moon, says VanessaBenfatti, head girls track coach at MOHS. We could coach
for the next 30 years and never have an athlete of this cal-
iber again. She is truly unique both as an athlete and a per-
son. She brings lots of pride to our track program and Mt
Olive High School as a whole. I look forward to seeing
what the future brings because I know it will be something
amazing.
Benfatti, who has been coaching Orji for the past three
years, says This is a girl who has the potential to go all the
way, perhaps to the Olympics, which is her ultimate goal.
Fans of Mt. Olive Athletics really need to take the time to
see her compete because, as I said, it is a once in a lifetime
opportunity to see this kind of talent. We are both fortunate
and grateful to have her with us.
Orji, who also plays on the high school volleyball team,
started to run track her freshman year, but started triple
jumping during the outdoor season of her sophomore year.
She specializes in triple jump and long jump.
From the minute she stepped on the track we (assistant
coaches and boys coaches) all knew she was something spe-
cial, says Benfatti. There were the obvious things like her
speed and overall athletic ability but she also had an incred-
ible gift at picking things up extremely quick.
When she was a freshman we tried her in a few differ-
ent events to see where she could fit best, says Benfatti.
We practiced hurdles and she was going over the top the
first day with pretty good form. For most girls it takes atleast a week to have the skill set to go completely over and
with confidence.
Triple jump, which is now her big event was the same
way, continues Benfatti. We sent her over to practice it
one day before a meet because she was already a long
jumper and we just wanted to see how she would do. The
next day we had a dual meet and she asked me to triple
jump. I hesitated and then told her to give it a try. She
jumped 39 feet and broke our school record and was close
to breaking the county record!Mandatory Credit: Kirby Lee-USA TODAY Sports / Kirby Lee-

Tell Them You Saw It In The Mt. Olive News, August 2013, Page 21
Orjis accomplishments at Mt. Olive are endless. She
currently holds the school records in the 100, 200, 400, long
jump and triple jump. She is also a part of the relay records
for the 4 x 200 and 4 x 100. She holds the county record in
the long jump and triple jump and the state record in thetriple jump.
She is second best all time in the state of NJ in long
jump, says Benfatti. She is close (5 in) to breaking that
record which is held by Carol Lewis from 1979. She holds
multiple records on the Group and Sectional level as well.
She jumped 44'11 at the World Championships which is
second best HS all time in the US. What she accomplished
there in the long jump and triple jump was the best jumping
double in NJ all time.
Following a great track season this past school year, Orji
attended the U.S. tryouts for the long and triple jumps onJune 25-27 in Edwardsville, Illinois. It was there that she
placed first in the triple and then second in the long. She
was named to the U.S. team soon after and then taken to the
U.S. training facility in Ill. to prepare for the IAAF World
Youth Championships in Ukraine. She left the U.S. on July
4, began her competition on July 10 and completed it July
14.
At the IAAF, Orji jumped 20 ft 11 inches in the long
jump winning second place , a silver medal; and jumped 44
ft 11 inches in the triple jump, winning third place, a bronze
medal.
I did way better than I would have ever expected, says
Orji. My goal was to jump 42 feet and I didn't start off too
well with that in triple. In long jump, my goal was 20 ft and
I jumped that pretty early in the season but not consistently.
The end of my season was definitely the best because I kept
setting new personal bests in both jumps and finished num-ber two all time in the U.S. in triple jump.
Orji says, I'm really excited, the competition in the
triple jump was extremely hard and I'm happy I could rise
to the challenge. Long jump wasn't as competitive as triple
jump but the competition was still much harder than I'm
used to.
Natural talent and her love for racing have placed Orji on
top.
I've always had naturally springy legs and I loved rac-
ing my friends so I guess that's why I like track, says Orji.
I think most of my jumping success is due to talent so allthe credit goes to God. I also have to give credit to my hard
work and my coaches because they taught me almost every-
thing I know about the jumps.
Benfatti says, Keturah's track abilities are endless. She
could probably be an amazing heptathlete. I truly believe
there is nothing this girl can't do. After all, she can scissor
kick 5'0 in the high jump. There are girls who have difficul-
ty with that height with perfect approach and form and after
years of practice. I truly believe she could make it to the
Olympics someday which is her ultimate goal.
I credit her success to a handful of things, such as
great genes, her gymnastics ability and the newness of the
sport, says Benfatti. Anyone who knows gymnastics
knows that it takes focus, discipline, control, and almost no
fear. To have success in the triple jump an athlete must have
an incredible amount of control of his/her body.
Orjis lack of experience in track, has also helped her,says Benfatti. Her freshman year was the first year she
ever did track. I think it may have helped her because there
were no preconceived ideas, fears, or expectations.
Everything was new to her so she was open and willing to
do everything with no hesitation.
Breaking more records, competing at the college level
and maybe professionally are Orjis goals in track.
I want to jump 45 ft to break the national record and
jump in the 44's consistently and jump 21 ft in long jump
and continue to jump in the 20's consistently, says Orji. I
also want to break Carol Lewis' state record in long jump.Next year I will try out for juniors and hopefully make
another USA team and one day hope to go to be a world
champ medalist and Olympic medalist.
Orjis advice to others is Always believe in yourself and
continue to work hard to reach your goals.
Her success certainly benefits the high school con-
cludes Benfatti. Anytime you have an athlete of this cal-
iber who is getting noticed not only on the national stage
but also internationally it definitely makes people wonder
about our school and our athletic programs.

It started about 20 years ago. Byram resident Carol
Barry had always made banners out of felt and fabric
for her church, but suddenly, she felt found herself
going in a new direction. After visiting many small church-
es and large cathedrals around the world, she had experi-
enced for herself the inspiration that beautiful artwork can
provide. She wanted to give some of that to her own church,
the First Presbyterian Church of Stanhope
It started with a painting for a special event at school
(Barry taught art in Mt. Olive Township for 40 years). That
blossomed into about a dozen more works and what Barry
now sees as a ministrya ministry she wants to share with
other churches and groups.
Hanging like banners in the Presbyterian church sanctu-
ary, the topics of Barrys paintings include The Old
Testament, the New Testament, images of progress, andmages of what has impacted the world for better or worse.
Most works are not a single image, but contain a myriad of
them, calling the viewer to contemplate them. A departure
in style from some of the other works is Gods Peace that
Passeth Understanding. The painting resembles a mosaic.
Barry works on a size and type of paper that is quite
portable so that her works can be easily transported and dif-
ferent ones hung and shown. In that way, they have a ban-
ner-style to them.
A question Carol Barry frequent hears is, how long did
it take you to do that? Looking at Barrys artwork, it is not
surprising that people ask, though the answer may be more
surprising.
The thought process takes the most time, said Barry.
She notes that it may take up to a year for an idea to become
fully formed in her mind, though the actual painting takes
far less time. Barry doesnt work from sketches; the paint-
ings themselves form concretely in her mind.
Once formed it her mind, its time to paint. Barry said
she is fortunate to have a high ceiling in her home's family
room which also has great lighting. Also, she works in the
same space where she spends a lot of time. She likes that
because she observes, criticizes, and decides the next step
as she passes by the work throughout the day.
Barry shared that, many times, common statements or
familiar icons become the inspiration for her work. She is
currently working on a "walk through the Bible" painting,
the design being inspired by the familiar icon for AT & T.When she unveils a new work at her church, she asks
for time to explain it to the congregation. She explained
that several years ago, while visiting another church for a
music workshop, she viewed a beautiful fabric banner dis-
played in the sanctuary. While appreciating the exceptional
handiwork, she had difficulty discerning the subject. After
questioning several members of the church, she discovered
they were also uncertain of the meaning of the images.
Thus, she believes it is important for those seeing a work to
hear from the artist herself/himself.

In that vein, a friend and colleague asked Barry if she
would bring some of her paintings to
St. Mary's Episcopal Church in Sparta. Barry did so this
past spring and was able to share her inspiration and discuss
the images. She then took 8 paintings to St. Frances de
Sales Roman Catholic Church in VernonBarry shared that she was very humbled to see the
reaction of so many people that had never seen any of [my]
work before.
Barry would like to visit other churches and their groups,
sharing the message of her art. While anxious to share her
paintings with more people, she is very committed to the
Stanhope Church as an elder and choir member, making
Sunday morning visits only possible occasionally. She is
more available for visits other times during the week.
Because of the large dimensions of the paintings, it is also
sometimes challenging to find a site compatible to displaythe work. Carol does have a portable stand that displays one
piece at a time. Barry sees her art as a new ministry that has
opened up to her.
In addition to reaching people face to face, Barry is pur-
suing something shes been encouraged by friends to do for
years: working with a company in Newton to make repro-
ductions of many of her pieces. She is also investigating
having calendars made for a fundraiser for her church.
Art talks, and Carol Barrys pieces are speaking vol-
umes. To contact Carol Barry about speaking about her
work at your location, she can be contacted at: lake-

911 Outdoor Service, Silent Auction Part of Netcong Day for ChurchBy Elsie Walker
September 8th is a busy day for the
Stanhope United Methodist Church.
On that day, Stanhope United
Methodist Church welcomes the communi-
ty to its 9:30am outdoor service. The serv-
ice will include a remembrance of 911.
After the service, the church is inviting
those who attend to stay for the annual
church picnic. Also, the church will have a
booth that day, Netcong Day, from 11am to
5pm. It will be giving out free water and
lollypops and holding a silent auction to
benefit its Raise the Roof Capital Funds
Campaign. The church is located at #2Route 183 in Netcong.
The churchs pastor, the Rev. Tom Kinter
noted that the outdoor service started after
the 911 tragedy. There is a symbolism in
holding it outdoors. Just as people were
forced from their office buildings that day,
worshippers are going outside the safety
and security of our building [for the serv-
ice], said Kinter. The service is open to
people of all faiths.
The beautiful stone church, also known
as the Church in the Glen, was entered intothe New Jersey register of historic places on
October 15, 2012 and the national registry
of historical places on January 2, 2013. Its
Raise the Roof Capital Funds Campaign is
raising money to replace the roof and repair
the bell tower structure, to make them water
tight. One of the ways it is raising that
money is through the silent auction at
Netcong Day.
The silent auction is a way to invite oth-
ers to [contribute toward] the repair of a
building that has meant a lot to the commu-
nity, said Kinter. The church is home to a
food pantry; AA groups meet there, as do
scouts. Free community dinners have been
held there, and more.
In a silent auction, people view items and
then submit a bid. The highest bidder winsthe auction. At the churchs booth will be a
variety of theme baskets and gift certifi-
cates/cards being auctioned. Some exam-
ples of the basket themes are Back to
School, Going to the Beach, and Gardening.
Gift cards/certificates come from a variety
of local places including Fannuccis Caf
and Gelato bar in Netcong, Davys Dogs in
Mt. Arlington, Netcong Village Florist, and
Weezers Gifts in Netcong. The hope is that
many people will come to take a look andplace bids.
In addition to the silent auction, the
church will be giving out free lollypops and
bottles of water. Everyone is welcomed to
come by the booth.
One of the many items in the Stanhope United
Methodist Church's silent auction on Netcong
Day.

event 31 years ago. One of the ways the event stays freshand growing is thanks to those who attend.
Were always open to suggestions that come from the
people, said Cook.
An example is this years pie eating contest that was sug-
gested by the Hilton staff.
One thing that draws people to Lead East is the variety in
what it offers. What started as a car show has grown to be so
much more. While cars are certainly still a huge part of it
(1,800 will be shown this year), the event includes over 30
do-wop groups, strolling accapella, and 50s Karaoke and
open mike.
[We have] a really strong following of music enthusi-
asts, shared Cook.
Another area of interest is dance. The event has a Senior
Prom Sunday and offers free dance lessons.
[How many places] can you find ballroom and jitterbug
dancing, noted Cook who shared the interest in dancing has
been increasing.One of the things that Cook personally enjoys are the
cheap and cheesy 50s movies that will be shown at the
driven-in created in the Hilton parking lot. In particular,
Cook enjoys the special effects such as monsters crushing
buildings which are clearly cardboard models. This years
offering will include a 3-D Vincent Price movie (glasses pro-
vided).
You create a mood of having fun.and its sort of con-
tagious, said Cook.
The spirit can be found everywhere around the event.
Groups showing cars will claim an island in the parking lot
as their own and decorate it. Theres a pink flamingo hang-out, a tiki bar (nothing served), dop wop corner and more.
One group created a 10 pin bowling alley one year.
In addition to things to see and do, there are vendors sell-
ing food and a variety of items.
Besides the fun of the event, there is also giving. Each
year theres a big 50-50 drawing to benefit Make-A-Wish.
In addition, this year, the Military Transport Association
(MTA) will be getting a head start on the holidays by collect-
ing unwrapped toys for Toys for Tots to be delivered to the
US Marine Reserve Unit at Picatinny Arsenal. The toys will
be distributed to needy children in the north Jersey area. The
MTAs jeep will be located in the front Lead East vendor
Lead East the 50s Party Continues
One of the cars shown at last year's Lead East
area.
Reflecting on the popularity of Lead East( about 15,000
20,000 attend), Cook notes that the event reflects a more
innocent time. It was a time that the only gun a child even
touched was a toy one, not a real one. The world was not the
way it is today.
But now, for one weekend a year, people get a chance to
visit those earlier days and enjoy the fun, through a time por-
tal held at the Parsippany Hilton. http://www.leadeast.net

Math, science, engi-
neering..these
are subjects that
many students view with
dread and may even avoid.Unfortunately, in a world
where these are becoming
hot career fields, students
need to develop this knowl-
edge to get the jobs of the
future.
To the rescue comes
STEM-CAM! Aimed at
children ages 5 12, STEM-
CAM (Science, Technology,
Engineering, and
Mathematics through build-ing Confidence, changing
Attitudes, and Mentoring)
introduces these subjects
while having fun, demystify-
ing them and helping stu-
dents gain confidence. The
program was founded in
2012 by Samantha Rizzuto
of Long Valley. A junior this
year at the Math, Science and
Engineering Academy locat-
ed at Morris Hills High in
Rockaway, Rizzutos pro-
gram recently received a
grant from Dosomething.org
Rizzuto, who also volun-
teers at Liberty Science
Center, has always liked
math and science and excelsat them. Her interest started
when she was in the second
grade and made a spacecraft
model. It blossomed from
there.
I participated in
Destination Imagination,
robotics and I was drawn to
television shows like
Mythbusters and everything
on the Discovery Channel.
My presents under theChristmas tree involved sci-
ence kits, a telescope and a
microscope. Physics is my
passion and I aspire to
become an aerospace engi-
neer, she shared. I tested
and interviewed into the
[Academy for Math Science
and Engineering] program
for my 9th grade year.
However, unlike Rizzuto,
many students do not excel
in those areas. Rizzuto found
that many of her friends had
the attitude that they just
couldnt do math or science.
She realized that they were
not alone. Rizzuto wanted
to change that, especiallyconsidering where the
careers of today are and
where those in the future are
headed.
She shared some stagger-
ing information:
Historically, Americas inge-
nuity for invention and inno-
vation has strengthened its
economic growth, global
competitiveness, and its stan-
dard of living. However,according to the US Bureau
of Labor Statistics, one mil-
lion new STEM-related jobs
will become available this
year, but only 200,000
American college graduates
will be qualified to fill these
positions.
Now STEM-CAM is
helping opening up a new
world to ages 5 12, letting
them see that math, science,
technology, and engineering
Kids at STEM-CAM sessions learn math and science while having
fun.
Long Valley Student Opens Kids Minds to Math and Scienceare not only fun, but things
they can learn. Locally,
STEM-CAM mentors have
met with groups at the
Washington Township Public
Library and the WhartonPublic Library, and will be
starting to meet at the
Rockaway Public Library in
the fall. While the program
does not meet at the libraries
during the summer, it has
gone on the road. STEM-
CAM has gone to the
Salvation Army Boys and
Girls Club in Newark and the
Childrens Aides Society in
Harlem.
There are three mentors
who help Rizzutto with the
program. The two who have
been with her since the
beginning are her sister
Angelina and a friend,
Rebecca Fang.
Both of these mentors
have helped me plan lessons
and have gone with me to the
different libraries to speak
with the librarians about
hosting our program.Angelina is going into 10th
grade at the Academy of
Health Care Sciences in
Denville and Rebecca is a
junior with me at the
Academy for Math, Science
and Engineering. Our
newest mentor, Nick Vezzuto
is a magnet student at Morris
Hills High School, said
Rizzuto.
Depending on the numberof students and the space,
students may be broken
down by age-range. If thats
not possible, Rizzuto says the
mentors go around to every-
one to make sure the younger
participants get the help that
they need.
When asked about the les-
sons, Rizzuto gave some
examples:
Most of the time the les-
sons have a variety of STEM
concepts built into a single
activity. For example, meas-
uring tapes and stop watches
are used to calculate the force
of friction acting on a marble
traveling down a ramp stu-
dents design and build them-
selves. In March, I celebrated
Pi Day, which was focused
solely on math concepts.
During Pi Day, a variety of
centers were set up and par-
ticipants traveled to each
center in their groups
assigned according to their
age. Each center had a simple
and more advanced variation
of the same age appropriate
activities. We used materials
like blocks, tiles, ruler, cans,
cards, beads and, of course,
hula hoops to demonstrate tostudents practical applica-
tions of math. We created fun
activities and games to rein-
force patterns, geometry,
fractions, problem solving
and multiplication. We even
shared pi day cupcakes for
Einsteins birthday with the
participants, she shared
However, growing
knowledge isnt the only goal
of STEM, building confi-dence comes into play, too.
In an effort to break the
stereotype of what kids
imagine in their minds when
they think of scientists, I try
to present STEM to students
in a way that they will per-
ceive as cool. Cartoons and
media make scientists out to
be nerds in a really negative
way. I want kids, especially
girls, to feel confident and
excited about participating in
a STEM activity. That is
where the CAM (building
Confidence, changing
Attitudes and Mentoring) in
STEM-CAM originates
from. I give the participants
my email and Facebook
information, so they can con-
tact me and build a relation-
ship with me. I have had a
few contact me to tell me
what they are hoping STEM-
CAM will cover next. I love
receiving e-mails from par-
ents and students because it
shows me they are really
interested in what we are
doing., Rizzuto shared.
You are doing a great
thing here. We are all very
proud of you and are certain
you have a very bright andexciting future ahead of
you. said Fadila Gathers,
parent of a student participat-
ing in STEM-CAM.
Gathers is not alone in
thinking that STEM-CAM is
special. DoSomething.org, a
national not-for-profit that
helps young people change
the world, announced that
Rizzuto is a 2013 Seed Grant
Winner.It is so rewarding to see a
student embrace any aspect
of STEM. I know that a stu-
dents future will be filled
with a variety of new and
exciting opportunities now
that he or she has recognized
a love for STEM. I have
recently received emails
from a young girl who partic-
ipates in STEM-CAM every
month. She always emails
me with new ideas and ques-
tions. I love to see her curios-
ity and passion for STEM.
Another young girl wants to
be a mentor when she is old
enough. It is incredible to see
how sharing my passion can
inspire and empower others
to reach their potential. [that]
is when I feel like I have real-
ly accomplished something,
Rizzuto said.

ly good crowd. Also held at the Spring
Brook Country Club, which is right in the
heart of Morris County which is convenient
for everyone.
Flynn describes, there was a spirit in the
room. The way we help these people for
help and recovery- the spirit of that workwas in the room. People all said they go to
many of these and they said there was just
something special happening.
Last year, more than $25,000 was raised
at the golf outing event for the MHAMC.
Our goal is to introduce the agency to
people in the community, says Flynn, So
they will volunteer or join the board. Its
more of an outreach event.
The agency is also looking for sponsors
or donations from businesses or individuals
to support the event. Buy a spot in the adjournal, a tee sign to advertise a business on
the golf green, or cash donations are wel-
come.

Most health experts and medical
doctors would agree that drink-
ing lots of water daily can only
better ones health.but how many have
considered the type of water that should be
consumed?
There is a water on the market that con-
tains antioxidants and alkaline, and through
medical studies has proven to improve
health while reducing many diseases and ill-
nesses. A medical device was developed out
of Japan 39 years ago and works to take out
the impurities from tap water.
The device that was designed to restruc-
ture drinking water is available to hospitals,
restaurants and homes world wide and may
very well be the best water for drinking,
bathing and cleaning, according to experts.
The Japanese company claims that its water
flushes out toxins better than regular water.
You end up with a very powerful
antioxidant, says Rick Ercolano of
Manahawkin, independent sales representa-
tive and distributor of the restructured ion-
ized water, much more powerful than any
fruit, vegetable or green tea would give you.
Ercolano, who presents weekly seminarsabout the oxidizing water, says one glass of
this water equals 30 glasses of green tea,
which is high in antioxidants. The water
also contains alkaline which gives you
energy and is also micro-clustered, which
creates super hydrating water to super
hydrate the body.
The ionized water is healthy water
thats alive that makes people feel better and
gives them more energy, he says.
According to studies and testimony, theiodized or alkaline water has reduced the
risks for diseases and conditions such as
acid reflux, gout, arthritis, cancer, diabetes,
chronic headaches, back and joint pain,
digestive problems, high blood pressure,
muscle cramps, eczema and psoriasis, wrin-
kles and more.
There are clinical studies published in
the National Institute of Health (NIH) web-
site that show the effectiveness of this
water.Cancer lives in an acidic environment
but cant survive in an alkaline environ-
ment, says Ercolano, a public speaker and
wellness educator for more than 30 years.
Bottled water can be in storage for six to 12
months. Its not made fresh. Chemicals are
in there.
He says the water that is sold in the five
gallon plastic jugs contain even a greater
percentage of chemicals, and many sports
drinks are also highly acidic as well as car-
bonated drinks such as soda which do not
hydrate the body and can be bad for ones
health.
To date, there are 300 hospitals in Japan
and 3,200 restaurants worldwide that use
the ionizing water device in their establish-
ment.
The water device or machine is the size
of a coffee pot and can be placed on the
counter or even under a counter. It ties into
the cold water line under the sink and then
filters water through seven medical plat-
inum coated titanium plates with 23 watts of
electricity. With a double carbon anti-filter,
the electric current goes through the titani-
um plates to work as an ionizer.
The device makes different waters by
altering the ph levels, creating waters that
are suitable for drinking, taking medicine,
cleaning and beauty water..
For best results, with water that is most
oxidizing and highest alkalinity, water
should be drunk within 48 hours. The water
is also healthy for pets, as well as for bodi-
ly and household cleaning.
The electrical charge wears off every
hour up to 48 hours and weakens gradual-
ly, says Ercolano. Its always best to drinkthe water right from the machine. With that
being the case, this alkaline water can not
be sold in bottles.
Since chemicals leak in plastic bottles,
Ercolano makes his own to go drinks by
putting the water from his ionizing water
filter into DPA3 bottles to take the water
with him for the
