Locals Volunteer To Build A Better Life In Guatemala
By Cheryl Conway
eyond the conditions many can relate to, outside the
walls of whats the norm, exists a world so difficult
to imagine unless one visits and reaches out to help.
In Guatemala City, 11,000 people- in which 7,000 are
kids- live and work inside a garbage dump.
Most survive by picking through the trash to earn less
than five dollars a day. Many find their daily food in the
dump.
Just when all hopelessness is lost for these human beings
living in one of the most impoverished areas , more and
more volunteers are stepping up to assist and steer them to a
better life. Some local people have become very involved
and formed an organization known as Beyond The Walls.
This month, 75 individuals are volunteering to visit the
Guatemala City Garbage Dump to build houses, donate
clothing and shoes and organize sport clinics.
The non-profit organization started in 2007 at the
Mendham Hills Community Church, although mission
teams were sent out before.
We had been going to Guatemala for a couple of years,
explains Betsy Ahl of Morris Township, executive director
of Beyond The Walls. The church was sending mission
teams. We asked volunteers to help raise money to help pay
for trips, build houses. Theyd raise more money and that
would go toward projects.
In order to influence others outside the church to get
involved, and to receive matching grants from volunteers
employers, organizers decided to expand the church group
to a secular, non-profit organization, explains Ahl.
The idea to help the people of Guatemala dates back to
2005, when Mendham was named one of the top wealthiest
places to live in America.
The elders of Mendham Hills Chapel thought this wasnt how others lived, explains Ahl, so they asked the chair-

Lopez Munoz- his sponsor daughter- and Erin.
man of the missions team to find an area that needed help.

One of the poorest places in the world, the Guatemala
City Garbage Dump, was identified by a church member
and the idea to team up with the Potters House organization,
with a mission to eradicate poverty, build houses, help others get business loans and establish community programs.
Its a ravine right in the center of the Capitol City,
describes Ahl. Theyve been filling it up with garbage for
50 years.
In their first mission, Ahl joined 26 others for four days.
The group, after that, could have gone to Africa one year,
China one year, but the group decided it was more important to come back and form long term relationships, says
Ahl who has sponsored three kids in Guatemala in the Kids
In Potter House Education Program, in which 50 kids are

First Female Officer Appointed To Morris Plains Police Department
By Ejvind Boccolini
nnmarie Ferris is the
first female officer
in the Morris Plains
Police Department and she
worked hard to get there.
Education, determination
and responsibility allowed
her to achieve this milestone.
"It's pretty exciting," she
said in a phone interview
earlier this month, adding
that there are not as many
female officers around as
one might think, even in this
day and age.
She graduated in 2013
with a bachelors in criminal
justice from Centenary
College in Hackettstown,
and minored in political and
governmental affairs. She
graduated from Newton
High School in 2009, and
enjoyed basketball and softball in high school. Her education will now lend itself
Annmarie Ferris
very well to her new career.

She graduated with a
3.69 GPA from Centenary
(cum laude status), and
worked as a retail supervisor
as she made her way
through college. Ferris
always made the dean's list
each semester.
Ferris is also furthering
the family tradition by earning her way to her present
position. The oldest of seven
siblings, she has a lot of law

enforcement in her family.
Her father was a police
lieutenant in Newark, and
just recently retired. Her
grandfather was a retired
police detective also from
Newark, and her greatgrandfather worked for the
Essex County Sheriff's
Office. A younger brother is
looking to serve as a police
officer in the future and
Ferris also has cousins that
are police officers.
She said she is now
proud to be a part of the
Morris
Plains
Police
Department, and added that
this department prides itself
for not taking in just any
individuals.
"Their process is very
intense," she said.
She was sworn in on July
16, and just started at the
academy. Before that, Ferris
had the opportunity to work

with officials in the Morris

Plains Police Department by
doing ride-alongs, documentation and paperwork,
and working with policy and

Ferris said it was good to
get to know some of the
individuals in the police
department besides just
those in the interview
process. She officially started with the Morris Plains
Police Department on July
1.
Ferris is entering into a
department that has a mission statement that speaks
about keeping the community safe, preventing crime,
encouraging education and
improving quality of life.
It notes that, "We will
commit our resources in
partnership with the community to: improve the quality of life of citizens living,
working, or visiting the bor-
ough. Engage in crime prevention and public education activities in order to

remain responsive to community need and concerns.
Promote a safe and secure
environment, free from
crime and the fear of crime.
Practice our core values of
integrity, respect, service,
fairness, and pride."

Department also has a vision

Its important to address most speech

Craiglist Founder Flushes His

Money Down The Toilet
By Jason Cohen
orristown native and Craigslist
Founder Craig Newmark made
headlines in July, when he donated $10,000 to a community garden in
Morristown, Grow It Green Morristown.
The money will help fund a composting toilet for the Early Street Community Garden
that will be named Craig Newmark
Memorial Latrine No. 2. It is projected to
open next spring.
Composting toilets use little to no water
and depend on aerobic reaction to break
down the waste product. They have been
used successfully for many years in urban
environments, such as the Bronx Zoo and
the Queens Botanical Garden. This is the
second toilet Newmark has sponsored; the
first is a conventional toilet located in the
city of Jericho.
It felt like a really good way to give
back to my home town, and to the immediate neighborhood where I grew up, said
Newmark, who grew up across the street
from the garden. Also, naming it the Craig
Newmark Memorial Toilet #2, well, that's a

comedy bonus.
Newark, 62, who graduated from
Morristown High School in 1971, said this
was his first time helping a community garden, but he would prefer to focus on voting
rights and women in the tech world. He said
when he notified Grow it Green about his
donation they were shocked.
They didn't believe it was me calling,
then they seemed mighty pleased, he said.

Childrens Eye Health
njuries to the eye are the most common cause of blindness in schoolage children, which should lead
parents to be cautious when it comes to
having their children wear protective
eyewear. Kids are especially susceptible to sports-related eye injuries because their hand-eye coordination has
not yet fully developed. With this in
mind, make sure that your child wears
the proper protection for games and
practices. For example, in a sport like
baseball, a batting helmet and a pair of
polycarbonate eye protectors are recommended. It is important to select
polycarbonate sports glasses that are
approved by the American Society for
Testing Materials (ASTM) or by the
Protective
Eyewear
Certification
Council. It also helps to cultivate good

habits by having your child wear sunglasses and a hat on sunny days outdoors.
If your child gets foreign matter in
his or her eye, flush with saline or
water to remove. Do not try to remove
with your fingers or by rubbing the
eyelids as this can cause a scratch on
the surface of the eye. If you are unable
to remove the foreign matter or irritation persists, contact your eye care professional immediately. To schedule an
appointment for an eye exam, please
call 973-538-5287. Located at 25 South
Street in downtown Morristown, we
are available weekdays 10 to 6, Thursdays, 10 to 7, and Saturdays, 10 to 4.
continued from previous page

People expect the call to
come from a personal assistant, but I'm a nerd, can't see
myself using a personal
assistant.
Abby Gallo, the executive director of Grow it
Green, said they were blown
away by his generosity.
We were thrilled to hear
from Craig Newmark, and
to learn that he grew up
across the street from the
Early Street Community

Garden, Gallo said. His
donation will help to provide a much-needed composting toilet for the garden,
which will be wonderful for
community events and
classes held in the garden.
Newmarks donation will
provide a much-needed restroom facility as part of the
gardens new design that
includes a public parklet,
solar-powered community
pavilion, ADA-compliant
walking path, a composting
center, demonstration apiary, bike repair station and
94 garden beds, double the
number currently on site.
The
Early
Street
Community Garden provides space for more than 50
families to grow their own
food, flowers and herbs.
Gardeners manage their
raised bed space of either
eight feet squared or eight
feet by 16 feet. Gardeners
choose what to grow as long
as it is grown without synthetic fertilizers or chemical
pest management.
Newmark is the founder
of Craigslist. While no
longer part of management,
he continues to work with
Craigslist as a customer
service representative in
what he calls a lightweight capacity.

history is on
view on main
streets and secluded

commitment to preserving
the evidence of its past is
well known.
The Board of Chosen
Freeholders
recently
announced the historic
preservation grants awarded on the recommendation
of
the
Historic
Preservation Trust Fund
Review Board.
Roxbury Township historic sites are beneficiaries
of all three categories of
grants: restoration, acquisition and planning.
The Lake Hopatcong
Foundation
received
$192,500 toward the mortgage and restoration of the
Lackawanna
Railroad
Historic Trust Grants Awarded Across County
Station at Landing, purchased by the non-profit

in November, estimating
$450,000 would be needed to pay off the loan and
restore the building. About
$150,000 was already
raised toward that goal,
according
to
Donna
Macalle-Holly, grant coordinator for the foundation.
The station is set to be
used for meeting and display space as well as providing roomier offices for
the Foundation, Board
President Martin Kane
said at the first board
meeting held there.
Were really glad the
county had the confidence
in us to award the grant
this cycle, Kane said,
calling the old station an
iconic structure. He
said restoration work will
begin by the end of sum-
mer. Structural problems

with the station will be
addressed first.
In addition, the station
is on the Morris Canal
Greenway.
The other grant recipients in Roxbury Township
are in the Ledgewood
Historic District.
The King Homestead
will receive $95,648 for
foundation repair and
repointing, siding restoration and floor framing
reinforcement. It is an
1881 Queen Anne style
residence constructed for
the proprietor of the King
Store, a general store that
served early Ledgewood.
The store, the King House
and the Silas Riggs
Saltbox house (which was
moved during the construction of the former
Ledgewood Circle) are
adjacent in the historic

district.
Scott Fullerton of the
Roxbury Rotary which has
been working on the
buildings
in
the
Ledgewood District for
about 20 years said the
grant would be used for
the front porch. The porch
is original to the house, he
said. About 10 years ago
the Rotary structurally
supported the porch and
replaced some spindles
and rails, Fullerton said.
He said the paint on the
porch floor is original.
The work on the porch
will be done by Douglas
Schul, a painting contractor, at no charge. Matt
Oras of the local SherwinWilliams store will donate
the paint.
Fullerton said a lot of
people from the township,
The ornate lighting fixture in the foyer of the Landing Railroad

Station.

English As Second Language

Program At Centenary
entenary Colleges School of

International Studies will be
offering English as a Second
Language Program (ESL) to members of
the community. The classes will be held
for 13 weeks on Thurs. nights from 5:30
p.m. to 8 p.m. starting on Sept. 10.
Classes will be taught by Professor
Lauren Lesce.
This Adult English Language program
is designed to help immigrants and other
non-native English speakers who have
not yet developed proficiency in English
to acquire the basic knowledge and skills
they need to function effectively as parents, workers and citizens. The program
is designed for those whose native language is a language other than English
and, as a result, have a limited ability in
speaking, reading, writing or understanding the English language. It is also ideal
for those who live in a family or community where a language other than English
is the dominant language. Classes are
open to persons 18 years or older.

I am pleased to be able to offer this
resource to members of our community,
says Dr. Joseph Linskey, dean for the
School of International Programs at
Centenary College. This comprehensive course will hopefully benefit many
people to better equip them as they move
forward in their personal and professional lives.
The cost for the course is $150. For
information or to register, contact Lesce
at (908) 852-1400, ext. 2330 or at lescel@centenarycollege.edu.

Grants Awarded...
continued from page 12
Baptist Church, also on Main Street, is

receiving a grant to complete construction documents relating to the reconstruction of the belfry. That grant is
$12,400, according to the countys press
release. The Gothic Revival church was
built in 1917 by the Gallo Brothers.
The borough of Florham Park
received a similar grant in 2014 to prepare documents for reconstruction of the
roof of the Little Red School House, the
boroughs symbol. This year, Florham
Park received $74,000 toward the roof
replacement, according to Patrick Dolan
of the borough Historic Preservation
Commission.
The schoolhouse was built in 1866,
Dolan said. As a one-room schoolhouse
in a poor, rural area a far cry from the
Florham Park of today, it would have had
a cedar shake roof. A replacement was
put on at least 30 years ago, Dolan said,
and it is dry, brittle and cracked.
Were worried about leaks, he said.
The building is operated as a museum by
the Historical Society.
The new roof should last 40 years,
he said, adding, there is huge variety of
cedar shakes, the grain, how they are prepared and pre-treated. The roof will
need occasional maintenance, something
that was neglected on the old roof,
although the borough Department of
Public Works does generally does a good
job maintaining the municipally-owned
site.
The historical society maintains its

collections and the garden club does
plantings and Christmas decorations,
Dolan said.
The schoolhouse is open once a month
and on special occasions.
Our current mayor considers it his
duty to maintain the school, Dolan said,
noting the borough had to come up with
a 20 percent match.
The schoolhouse is on the boroughs
flag, police cars and everything that says
Florham Park.
It ties to farming and our simple,
rural roots, Dolan said. It wasnt
remuddled, it has grass surrounding it in
an area with little green space.
On the other side of the county, the
Obadiah LaTourette Grist and Saw Mill
in Washington Township received
$52,000 to continue a long-term restoration project.
The mill is on Route 124 in the center
of Long Valleys National Register
Historic District. The money is to complete a preservation plan update and construction documents. The documents
relate to spillway arch repair, siding and
window installation, exterior painting
and completion of the flooring on the
second and third floors.
The county awarded a total of $3.5
million in grants this year with others
going to such county icons as the
Museum of Early Trades and Crafts in
Madison.

sponsored to receive an education. Ahl has been sponsoring
these kids since they were in the first grade, are now graduating high school and will be supported through college.
Church member and organization volunteer, Mike
Rubright, 50, of Long Valley, is currently on one of three
missions to Guatemala this month through Beyond The
Walls. His ninth trip out there during the past seven years,
Rubright and his daughter, Erin, are working in the garbage
dump from July 18-25.
Another one of his daughters, Emily, has gone on the trip
seven times but had to miss this one. Youth volunteers must
be starting atleast seventh grade to participate, so for Erin
this is her third trip. Volunteers must contribute $1,600 each
in order to participate, with funds going toward flight and
lodging; and additional funds to supplies and building houses. Every year, Rubright sends letters and emails to friends
requesting donations to help support his volunteer work.
About 75 people have signed up through Beyond The
Walls to volunteer during the three missions this month, with
10 people from the Mendham, Long Valley and Chester
areas. The others are from areas throughout the country such
as Florida, New York and Texas, who formed their own
groups with Beyond The Walls.
Rubright and his wife, Katie, have a niece who was
adopted from Guatemala so their connection is even greater.
I do construction all day long, says Rubright. I had no
idea what I was doing; I had no construction experience.
Now Im the person in charge of construction projects my

week.
Everybody builds, everybody works; it doesnt matter
how old you are, says Rubright, principal at the Woodglen
Middle School in Lebanon Twp.
We build a concrete block house with a concrete floor,
he explains. We mix concrete by hand; its the hardest thing
Ive ever done. The girls and women work harder than Ive
ever seen; they dont stop. A family that is getting a house
built works beside the volunteers.
Its not very big, he says, with the homes about 15 feet
by 15 feet, the size of a bedroom. Homes are for four to five
person families, and sometimes six to eight people.
Its like nine people living in the size of your kitchen,
describes Ahl. Homes are built side by side and cost $5,600
to build.
A completed house consists of one big room with one
eight-foot partition wall that separates the bedrooms from
everything else, says Rubright. They have a toilet and a
shower stall in an area about the size of a closet, and they
get a big concrete sink that can weigh up to 600 pounds,
which is used for all washing needs such as dishes and
clothes.
Rubright also works under Guatemala masons who are
very particular with how they want things to be completed,
he says.
They tell us what to do, says Rubright. There are a lot
of times we do things that dont make sense; you cant tell
them they are wrong. Thats frustrating. If they tell you to

put a hole in a concrete pipe with a hammer and nails,
instead of a drill, you do it.
The homes that are being built for the people in the
Guatemala City Garbage Dump is luxury compared to the
cardboard sheet metal, dirt, chemicals, methane gas that
surround them and sicken them while living in the dump and
breathing the trash.
These houses also provide shelter and protection for
these people, says Rubright, as gun shots are commonly
fired in the garbage dump.
His goal during this one week visit is to build three to five
houses with his group of volunteers.
Potters House has built 110 homes to date, with 75 contributed by the volunteers of Beyond The Walls, says Ahl,
who visits four times, about six weeks a year.
In addition to building homes, the volunteers lead soccer
clinics and donate uniforms, soccer balls and cleats as well
as baseball clinics and donations of t-shirts; help at a medical clinic, vacation Bible school, and deliver groceries and
visit families.
Through their efforts, much progress has been made such
as concrete roads, a community center built last year, education programs which is much needed as the average kid does
not go past fifth grade in Guatemala, says Rubright.
A lot of families look at education as not important,
says Rubright. A lot end up working in the garbage dump

IMPLANT DENTISTRY
For over twenty years, implant dentistry has been a reliable option for patients
with missing teeth. With the ability to support a crown, an implant procedure
has the capacity to bypass drilling the adjacent teeth. Additionally, with the
recent availability of mini implants, implant dentistry has expanded its utilization to anchoring both full and partial dentures for a more secure fit. As they
provide an economic alternative, patients have been very receptive of mini
implants, as they make eating and speaking with dentures much easier.
Dr. Helen Chiu has always been involved in implant dentistry, making it an
integrated part of her everyday practice. From replacing a single tooth, inserting crowns or bridges, securing dentures, to creating multiple, full-arch reconstructions, she performs every step of each process, surgical and restorative.

as scavengers. They make money picking out recyclables.
People sift through trash looking through recyclables to see
what they can sell or they are looking for food to eat it.
Parents stop sending their kids to school because they need
their school age kids to watch younger siblings so parents
can work.
If they are not scavengers, they rely on the garbage dump
to sell their own goods, like tortillas to the scavengers so
they can eat, and even jewelry, says Ahl.
Its just this culture of poverty, says Ahl, with high
unemployment. Education is not a value, thats the bottom
line. Potters House tries to teach the value of education
especially to the parents. It also tries to teach the vendors
who do sell inside the garbage dump to sell on the outside,
says Ahl.
But without education, its really, really hard to move
their way out of the dump, says Ahl.
Scavengers are even making less these days. As the economy declined, so did the value of recyclables, explains
Rubright. For those working 10 to 12 hour days, they are
making two to three dollars.
While there are guns everywhere, Rubright admits that
he feels safe when there.
The organization we are with is well respected, he says,
and they stay in a retreat center with accommodations like
that of a motel or college dorm. We are safe; every store has
an armed guard, and no one walks alone. We have rela-
tionships with people. We go to the same neighborhoods.

Theres more of a comfort level now. Its a safe place- I bring
my kids there Im not in fear of our lives.
It is the desire to help others and the appreciation that
brings Rubright back to the dump.
He says, If theres really a God, why does he let that
happen? We let it happen by not choosing to use our
resources that way. I dont think I could not go back. They
have so little but they appreciate everything they have. We
have so much and we want so much more.
They say, This morning I lived in a garbage dump; now
I live in a mansion.
Rubright admits, Ive learned more from them than they
get from me. Im a better person in Guatemala than I am
here.
Also nice is the community bond shared by the volunteers.
For the last five or six years, the same group of people
have been volunteering. Everyone enjoys each others
company, say Rubright. We work hard all day, you come
back eat dinner. Theres community; theres no television,
little internet, no cell services. Its a lot what life should be
like.
Like Ahl, the Rubrights have sponsored a girl there since
she was eight; now she is 17. Through their support they
have helped Jennifer Lopez Munoz continue to go to school
and get an education.
Rubright tells people, I have three daughters in America

and one in Guatemala.
All the kids down there, they know when we come
back, says Rubright. Its humbling; its like family.
Volunteers bring with them bags of clothing and shoes for
more than 200 kids.
Beyond the Walls has helped other communities outside
of Guatemala, such as Native Americans, homeless people
in Dover and in Newark.
Rubright plans to volunteer at the Pine Ridge Indian
Reservation in South Dakota next, which is known as the
poorest place in the U.S., next to Haiti, from alcoholism and
unemployment faced by Native Americans. This was their
country and they are at the bottom of the ladder.
Beyond the Walls is always seeking more volunteers,
contributions for clothing and shoes, and financial support.
Its next mission to the garbage dump is Oct. 24-31, with
already 20 people signed up.
Go to Beyondthewalls.org for more information. To volunteer, email gobeyomdthewalls@gmail.com.
I encourage people to go, go somewhere, says
Rubright, Long Valley softball coach for the past 14 years
and former school board member. Find something to do
where you can do something for someone else. There are
people everywhere who need something. You do not need to
be religious. Some people think its a church thing - its people helping other people.
Local Dance Studio Celebrates 25 Years
heater Dance Center Celebrates 25

Years! Owners Millene Michel and
Mary Ellen Volz started out working
for another studio, when they realized they
had the same goals and passions: dance,
children and a need to inspire others.
Starting out in 1991 at the Knights of
Columbus hall in Flanders, with a few classes and 35 students, today TDC is an award
winning, community serving, studio with
more than 500 students and thousands of
alumni who have gone on to pursue dance as
a profession or thru college.
Its quite rewarding to know that your
former students continue to dance many
years after they graduate, says Michel.
Our dream was to inspire dance and watch
it blossom, not just in the individual student,
but the TDC community through their sharing of what we have inspired.
TDC alumni and their accomplishments
are great, with professional dancers in NYC,
LA, and around the world; dancers who
pursed college dance and won scholarships
to programs; and dancers who have pursued
dance with some of the most elite competitive college dance teams like Rutgers,
Towson, and Syracuse, Alabama.
Most importantly, TDC alumni has
proven to be a group of successful adults
with confidence that shows in all they do.
Volz says, We are extremely happy to

celebrate this anniversary with some of our
new students that are second generation
dancers. Its wonderful to see our former
students as parents and get to work with
their little ones too.
TDC has an amazing faculty with teachers who are truly visionaries in the field. The
program focuses on training well rounded
dancers and people. Through the examples
the faculty sets, the students thrive with selfconfidence and grace. TDC specializes in an
in house developed syllabus for preschoolers.
The competitive dance team is first rate
and national champions. The tap program is
one that attracts dancers from around the
country and offers a pre professional opportunity. It also has a non-competitive performance company that serves the local
community and promotes giving back and
volunteerism.
Celebrations will be taking place during
the fall open house, Fri., Aug. 28, 4 p.m. to
8 p.m. and Sat., Aug. 29, 10 a.m. to 2 p.m.,
at the center. Come join the celebration with
free gifts and prizes, balloons and giveaways.

Local Teen Helps Kids Join Sports Teams, Asks Businesses To Contribute
By Chelsea Cattano
eams For Kids Foundation is a nonprofit organization that enables children from homeless and low income
families within New Jersey to participate in
recreational sports programs.
The foundation is the brain child of Abby
Bauer, a senior at The Pingry School in
Basking Ridge and a resident of Long
Valley.
I started the organization last summer,
which is when we received our 501 (c)(3)
nonprofit status, Bauer said.
The foundation is still growing and molding to the needs of the children residing in
shelters and temporary housing facilities in
Morristown, but the success stories are
flooding in of kids who are now provided
with the opportunity to participate with their
peers in recreational sports programs.
For Bauer, the start of the long yet
rewarding process of running a nonprofit
organization began while she was volunteering at Homeless Solutions, a homeless shelter and low income housing program in
Morristown.
Ive been kind of running a children's
program there since I was 12-years-old,

Bauer said. Two summers ago I was running my childrens program at the shelter
and we were making smores and playing
kickball with the kids at the shelter and this
10-year-old boy named Giovanni
approached me with his baseball glove and
asked if we could have a catch and so I said
sure. We threw the ball back and forth a few
times and I realized that he had a really great
arm and he could toss really well so I asked
him if he played on a little league team and
he said he wished he could.
Later in the day, Giovannis mom
explained to Bauer that families at the shelter couldn't afford to put their children on
recreational sports teams because they needed to save money for rent and living expenses when they left the shelter.
That kind of just resonated with me and
it really bothered me that he didn't have the
same opportunity to play sports that I had
and so many other children have, so I really
wanted to help kids like Giovanni to have
this opportunity which is why I started the
Teams For Kids Foundation, Bauer said.
Bauer and the foundation distributed
their first grant of $2,500 to Homeless

Solutions in March. Teams For Kids then
gives the money to Homeless Solutions and
they allocate it to the needs of the families
living in the shelter.
We have had some success stories so
far, Bauer said. I know for a fact that currently there are four kids signed up to play
sports who have utilized the funds for equipment and for team registration and things
like that, so the funds are constantly being
used.
Included in the updates that Bauer
received from Homeless Solutions were stories of a boy who was able to join a track
team and placed fifth at a meet, a boy who is
not only signed up for football in the fall but
who already has his equipment ready and,
according to Bauer, is clearly excited. And a
girl in middle school who was able to join
her schools track team because she was able
to purchase the required running shoes.
While the foundation is still in its early
stages, there are a lot of fundraisers happening right now, as well as planned initiatives
to happen in the near future.
Currently, there are two initiatives that
the foundation is running. The first one,

Teaming up for Kids, uses donated money to
created Team Up Kits. Inside of the kits is
fundraising material and through a partnership with the Morristown Recreational
Department, they are being distributed to
children on these teams who can raise
money and spread awareness.
The other initiative is called the Teams
For Kids 2015 Corporate Challenge. Bauer
and the foundations are asking New Jersey
Local Teen Helps Kids...

businesses and corporations to get involved

with the Teams For Kids Foundation. The
process is simple: an employee registers the
business online and picks a date before
Labor Day where all employees dress down
or wear their favorite sports jersey and
donate five dollars to Teams For Kids. The
money can be sent via mail to Teams For
Kids Foundation, Inc. at PO Box 33,
Schooleys Mountain, NJ, 07870-0033, or
submitted online. Participants can also take
a group photo of their "corporate team" and
send it to Teams For Kids Foundation so that
they can share it on their Facebook page,
website, and blog.
Two future fundraising events include an
in-store event in September at Alex and Ani
in Princeton where from 6 p.m. to 8 p.m., 15
percent of all proceeds are being donated to
the foundation; and an event in October
where the foundation is partnering with
Morris United Soccer. There will be a Teams
For Kids day with various activities for kids
and many different ways to raise money for
children in the community.

According to Bauer, its going to be hard
to find a balance between her senior year of
high school and being the backbone of this
foundation but shes willing to give it her all.
Its easy in the summer because I have a
lot of free time so its kind of my priority, but
I know that during the school year Im going
to have to find a way to balance it, Bauer
said. Even if its just kind of allocating an
hour a night to take care of emails or donations or things that need to get done for the
foundation. But Im probably going to prioritize school.
For Bauer, this foundation has turned out
to be more than she thought it would.

Music Lineup At Upcoming Highlands Festival At Waterloo
he New Jersey Highlands Coalition announces the

music lineup for the third annual Highlands
Festival at Waterloo set to be held Sept. 19-20, at
Waterloo Village and Concert Field in Byram and

For the past two years the festival had only utilized
the historic Waterloo Village area, this year it has
expanded to also include the Waterloo Concert Field.
This environmental festival is a Celebration of all
Things Local and promotes local music, food, art, history, cultural and natural resources.
We continue to grow in size and scope as we host our
third annual Highlands Festival at Waterloo, said Julia
Somers, executive director of the coalition. This festival aims to raise awareness in a fun and interactive way
about how important our natural resources are and in
particular, to showcase that our precious water source
here in the Highlands benefits much of the region.
This rain-or-shine event is open to people of all ages
and features a range of activities, including musical performances, a childrens corner, a local food court, beer
garden, crafts and fair trade marketplace, historical
tours, animal demonstrations, various workshops, kayaking, and guided nature hikes. A full schedule of events
will be released soon. New also this year is the ability to
camp at Waterloo during the festival. Festivalgoers that
wish to camp are highly encouraged to reserve in
advance online, due to the limited amount of spaces

available.
The Highlands Festival celebrates Waterloo Villages
past glory as a renowned musical performance venue,
enriched by its historic nature and the wealth of musical
talent in NJ and surrounding areas. In keeping with the
locally driven mission, the festival aims to highlight
musicians with ties to NJ and our local tri-state area.
The following is the list of artists slated to perform in
the festival:
Atlanta Caf Band, Joe Cirotti, Lost
Ramblers, Milkweed, Turkey Farm 5, Willie Nile,
Brown Rice Family, Craig Thatcher Band, Garland
Jeffreys, Hub Hollow, Nadne LaFond, Occidental
Gypsy.
The Coalition is thrilled to bring more music back to
Waterloo and to continue adding to the tradition of presenting exciting performances for music enthusiasts.
Over the years, other well-known acts such as the Beach
Boys, Judy Collins, James Taylor, Willie Nelson, Phish
and the Metropolitan Opera have performed at Waterloo.
Music truly brings people together, said Mark
Clifford, musician coordinator for the Highlands
Festival. We believe we have curated a fantastic weekend of performers that will offer a terrific blend of an
eclectic array of musical genres that will please people
of all ages.
Tickets are now available online. Tickets purchased in
advance are $15 for one day; $25 for both days; and $25
for a campsite reservation. At the gate, tickets will be
$25 for one day; $40 for both days; and $45 for a campsite if spots remain. The festival is open from 11 a.m.

Silent Art Auction Planned To

Benefit Draft Horses At Fosterfields
Living Historical Farm
he Friends of Fosterfields and

Cooper Mill extend an invitation to
join them at a Silent Art Auction on
Sat., Sept. 12, from noon to 4 p.m. at The
Frelinghuysen Mansion, located at The
Frelinghuysen Arboretum, a facility of the
Morris County Park Commission in
Morristown.
The Silent Art Auction hopes to raise
funds for the retirement of Calvin and
Hobbes, the beloved draft horses currently
at Fosterfields Living Historical Farm,
also a facility of the Morris County Park
Commission, and the future purchase of a
new draft horse team for the farm. The
Silent Art Auction offers the public its first
opportunity to tour The Frelinghuysen
Mansion, while bidding on works of art
displayed by more than 20 renowned, and
internationally known, artists and photographers. Docent-led tours of the mansion,
hors doeuvres and wine, and distinctive
musical entertainment by harpist, Laurel

Grube, are included in the admission.
Numerous artworks in a variety of
price ranges by various artists and photographers are displayed on the first and second floors of the mansion. The historical
and cultural significance of The
Frelinghuysen Mansion is shared by
docents stationed throughout the mansion
and the Rose Garden. Whippany Farm
was home to George Griswold
Frelinghuysen and his wife Sara
Ballantine Frelinghuysen, who built their
Colonial Revival-style summer home, and
a carriage house, there in 1891. The surrounding property was designed and landscaped in the style of an English country
estate. It was bequeathed to the Morris
County Park Commission in 1969 by their
daughter Matilda E. Frelinghuysen, whose
intentions were for the development of a
public arboretum.
MHS Donates To Habitat

International's Nepal Fund
n April, the worst earthquake to hit the

Himalayan nation of Nepal in nearly a
century caused a high number of
deaths, injuries, and an avalanche on
Mount Everest. After discussing the imminent need caused by the disaster in Nepal,
the Morristown High School Habitat for
Humanity Campus Chapter decided to act,
according to Kathleen Hall, a student body
representative, "to give a slice of hope
from our student body."
The earthquakes were devastating,
killing more than 8,500 people and displacing many thousand more people.
The Habitat Club members collected
donations from students and staff and partnered with the Student Government
Organization, who donated $500 from its
fundraising efforts throughout the year.
Kiah Sandler, a member of the MHS
Habitat Club said, "The students of MHS

were incredibly supportive of our efforts to
collect donations for earthquake survivors
in Nepal. Those who had no large sums to
give, gave change and coins, and those
who could afford to, gave generously.
Everyone was interested in the cause and
the amount of support among our student
body was both refreshing and inspiring."
The Club raised more than $300 in one
week.
The money will be used by the Habitat
International volunteers and staff in Nepal
to remove rubble and provide much needed temporary housing until permanent residences can be built. Morris Habitat was
thrilled that the students at Morristown
High School turned their concern to commitment.

Award-Winning Screenwriter Teams With

NJ Shelter To Launch App To Save Puppies
ndy Breckman of Uncle Andy Toys

has created Feed A Puppy, the
worlds first live- streaming interactive animal app featuring real rescue puppies.
Users can watch them play, watch them
grow, and fall in love over and over again.
Wanna feed them? Simply click the feed
button and-thanks to a patented Feed A
Puppy technology-a yummy treat will fall
into their bowl in real time!
The puppies have been rescued by
Eleventh Hour Rescue, a not-for-profit
group dedicated to saving dogs and cats
from death row. Though the app is free,
additional treats can be purchased or
earned, with a portion of every dollar donated to their shelter in Northern New Jersey.
Feed A Puppy was created by Breckman,
award-winning television and film writer
and radio personality who was executive
producer of the Emmy-winning television
series Monk. His other credits include writing for Saturday Night Live, David
Letterman and numerous screenplays,
including Sgt. Bilko (with Steve Martin)

and Rat Race. He currently hosts WFMU's
popular comedy show and podcast Seven
Second Delay. Breckman is currently producing Probable Cause, a new mystery
series set to air on ABC next summer.
In 2014, Breckman founded Uncle Andy
Toys and began developing a line of innovative and slightly-subversive board games
and apps. Feed A Puppy was developed by
Shore Digital Solutions, who also designed
Uncle Andy's first app, Rigged Trivia.
The idea for Feed A Puppy came to
Breckman when he realized something was
missing from other live- streaming animal
sites: the ability to interact with them.
"I wanted to create an app with a real
emotional component," Breckman said.
There's nothing else like it out there."
Being a strong supporter of animal rescue, Andy wanted his app to benefit homeless animals. He reached out to Eleventh
Hour Rescue, and the rest is app history!

Lovely Colonial in Historic Cutler Park
utler Park is located

between Sussex and
Speedwell Avenues.
It is a very historic part of
Morristown and in the 19th
Century, it was a working
farm owned by the Cutler
Family. The Cutlers were
a prominent political family. Augustus Cutler served
in Congress and his wife
Julia (nee Walker) was
instrumental in the creation
of Morristown High School
and whose lineage dates
back to the Mayflower.
The surrounding streets in
Cutler Park are named for
members of the Cutler family;
Walker
Avenue,
Frederick Place, Condict
Place, just to name a few.
Silas Cutler was the son of
Julia and Augustus and a
prominent doctor, and
Frederick
was
a
Presbyterian Minister. Fast

forward to today and I am
proud to present a lovely
Colonial home with 3 bedrooms 1 and 1 half baths
situated on a double lot on
Walker Avenue. It is in
beautiful condition and
move in ready, but also has
great opportunities for
expansion. This walk to
town neighborhood is close

to NYC trains, restaurants,
and recreation areas. For
more information, please
contact Denise Flanagan,
Broker Sales Associate,
Coldwell Banker, 211
