Alex Boothe Raised More Than $35,000 For Cancer Research
By Cheryl Conway
T
urning 16 was not as sweet as Alex Boothe of
Chester would have hoped after recently being diag-
nosed with cancer - but instead of letting the news
sour his year, Boothe raised more than $35,000 for cancer
research.
Just one month after being diagnosed with non-
Hodgkin’s Lymphoma, Boothe created a fundraising page
on the internet for monetary donations, and with the sup-
port of his friends sold bracelets at his school West Morris
Mendham High School.
Sold for $1 each - the bracelets, “Stay Strong Boothe”
designed by Alex’s friend, raised $600.
His hate for needles has been a major catalyst of his
fundraising efforts.
“I hate needles,” says Alex. “I’m poked and prodded
daily. Cancer, I knew it was bad but I didn’t understand the
daily treatments. It is rough. For future kids who are diag-
nosed, we just want to make it easier. If there was more
money, they could find alternate ways to treat them rather
than all the poking.”
Alex had been diagnosed in March 2010, two months
before his 16th birthday, that he had non-Hodgkin’s
Lymphoma- cancer of the lymphoid tissue, which includes
the lymph nodes, spleen, and other organs of the immune
system.
“It was quite a surprise when we got the diagnosis,”
says his father Doug Boothe, since “Alex had no symp-
toms. He had this cough that developed over the winter. It

wasn’t a persistent cough but it was odd sounding. We
thought it was bronchitis.”
The weekend prior, Alex even played in a soccer tourna-
ment with his club-team, PFC Milan- an elite team out of
Chester, Mendham and Long Valley.
Although his team won, “I noticed he didn’t have as
much pep,” recalls Boothe, but didn’t think too much of it.
Before venturing off to their annual getaway to Naples,
FL, with family, Alex’s mother, Beth, brought him to the
doctor to check his cough. A chest x-ray revealed a mass
and further scans and a biopsy at Memorial Sloan-Kettering
Cancer Center (MSK) in NY resulted positive for cancer.
“Our world changed rather dramatically in 24 hours,”
describes Boothe.
“It was very shocking,” says Alex, the oldest out of his
three siblings.
The tumor was in Alex’s upper chest; as it was growing
it was pushing on his larynx and “every so often he would
have this weird cough,” explains Boothe.
Following his diagnosis, Alex started treatment immedi-
ately and has been visiting MSK as an outpatient two to
three times weekly for chemotherapy and blood screenings.
“They got it early,” says Boothe. “The outlook is a 100
percent positive.” They were told that the tumor would dis-
solve away in the first month and then further treatments Alex Boothe of Chester, who was recently diagnosed with non-

Tri-County Music and Arts
Announces August Concert Series
Whether you like country, jazz, rock or folk music, Tri-
County Music and Arts of Northwest New Jersey has some-
thing for you. This new non-profit organization has put
together an August Concert Series that is sure to please
every one of all ages and tastes. Tri-County Music and Arts
commonly referred to as "Tricma" is now up and running as
of June 28th, 2010 and has created a studio that is designed
to function as both a rehearsal space, as well as an intimate
setting for some great live music. The stage area is large
enough to fit an 8-piece band, but is very well suited for the
more intimate sounds that one might associate with the
Bluebird Cafe in Nashville, where singers and songwriters
meet and play in small groups for a crowd of about 100
people. This new space is called "The Studio of Long
Valley."

Thomas Edison’s Passion for Chemistry & His Search
for Organic and Domestic Alternatives
By Michele Guttenberger
T
homas Edison may be well known for this inventions
but his biggest passion was in chemistry. When he
built his chemistry laboratory in 1887 at his site in
West Orange New Jersey it became one of the best
equipped chemistry laboratories in the world. “Grand sci-
ence, chemistry,” Edison once said, “I like it best of all the
sciences.”
Edison was not only interested in creating new inven-
tions; he was also interested in creating the source materials
that went into his inventions. Thus, he spent much of his
time in the chemistry lab to: find better materials for his
phonograph records, compounds for synthetic rubber and
the right chemistry for electric auto storage batteries. It was
important to Edison to have total control over the supply of
his source materials. His business strategy was to reduce
supply dependency risks from environmental or global
trade maelstroms that would jeopardize the production of
his factory industries.
Edison would analyze material compound qualities that
naturally occurred in nature. In visiting his laboratories in
West Orange, you will find an odd collection of rhino horns
and tortoise shells. After all, in Edison’s day the high gloss
shellac resin used for electrical insulation and Gramophone
records were made from the resin secreted by India’s or
Thailand’s female Lac bug. This insect resin was sold in
dry flakes which were later dissolved in alcohol to produce
liquid shellac.

Edison used a plastic compound for his products. This
plastic was not a petroleum based plastic. This plastic was
made from Formaldehyde - a naturally occurring substance
in the environment consisting of carbon, hydrogen and oxy-
gen. The other ingredient for this plastic was Carboxylic
acids a common type of organic acid. Among the simplest
examples are the formic acid secreted by ants, and acetic
acid found in vinegar which gives it the sour taste. A hun-
dred years ago this mix of formaldehyde with Carboxylic
acids was put into production to make plastic like com-
pounds.
Although, Thomas Edison experimented and patented
different chemical compounds for his Gramophone records

Acupuncture for the Treatment of

Generalized Anxiety Disorder (GAD)
A
re you one of the 40 million Americans affected by
GAD? If so, Acupuncture can be a powerful treat-
ment, both for anxiety and depression. Anxiety
seems to affect twice as many women as it does men. In
Western medicine GAD is characterized by excessive anxiety
and worry about everyday life events with no rhyme or rea-
son for the worrying. People suffering from GAD seem to
always expect bad things to happen and typically ruminate
about such things as their health, their children’s safety, work,
school and money. People who suffer with GAD, the anxi-
ety is often unrealistic for the situation. Hence, life becomes
a constant state of fear, anxiety, worry and dread ultimately
interfering with their daily functions.
In Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), GAD is viewed
not as a brain disorder, but more as an inner organ dysfunc-
tion or imbalance. TCM holds that each of the 5 major organ
systems (Kidney, Heart, Spleen, Liver and Lung) plays a vital
role in the emotions. Emotions and organ systems health are
intimately connected. These organs can develop imbalances
and dysfunctions due to dietary, lifestyle, environmental and
hereditary factors. For example, worry, dwelling too much
on a particular subject and excessive mental work are symp-
toms of a Spleen system disorder according to TCM. Lack
of enthusiasm and vitality, mental restlessness, depression,
insomnia and despair are symptoms of a Heart system imbal-
ance. Symptoms associated with a liver imbalance will man-
ifest as anger, frustration, resentment, irritability, and flying
off the handle. Lung imbalances typically manifest more as
grief, sadness, melancholy and detachment. Lastly, with an
imbalance of the Kidneys, a person may be very fearful, inse-
cure, and aloof, isolated and have little to no willpower.
The heart in TCM is said to store the spirit or Shen and in
all anxiety cases, the Shen is disturbed. The heart “houses”
the Mind and the state of Mind relates to the emotions of the
Heart. Therefore, calming the Shen or Spirit will be a funda-
mental part of any anxiety treatment. Treating the Heart/Shen
system addresses emotional turmoil, thereby restoring bal-
ance, calmness and tranquility to both the physical and men-
tal aspects of health. TCM classifies the cause of GAD based
on the extent to which individual organ system or systems
demonstrate signs and symptoms of disturbance and how
their Qi (life force/energy) is affected. In anxiety, the most
common injured organ systems are the Heart and Spleen.
According to Chinese Medicine, anxiety is differentiated into
the following types:
1. Heart and Spleen Qi deficiency: Pre-occupation,
obsessive thinking (ruminating), aversion to speaking, inap-
propriate laughter, depression, palpitations, chest tightness,
difficulty falling asleep, fatigue, poor appetite, abdominal
distention, teeth marks and or a red tip on the tongue, pale
tongue, and a weak pulse.
2. Kidney Qi deficiency: pre-occupation, feeling of
fear and dread, and may be accompanied by low back and
knee pain or weakness, low libido, frequent urination, cold
hands and feet, difficulty staying asleep, tinnitus, a pale
and/or swollen tongue and a weak pulse.
3. Liver Qi stagnation: pre-occupation, feelings of irri-
tability, moodiness, poor appetite, severe PMS, hypochondri-
ac pain or tightness (pain or tightness in the rib area), muscu-
lar tension which typically manifests in the neck and shoul-
der area, fatigue, alternating loose stools and constipation, a
pale tongue with distended sublingual veins beneath the
tongue, and a wiry weak pulse.
4. Lung Qi deficiency: pre-occupation, rapidly chang-
ing moods, sadness, and easily feeling grief and loss, inabili-
ty to “let go”, aversion to speaking, shortness of breath, weak
cough, sweating easily on exertion, throat discomfort, and a
pale tongue and thin pulse.
Acupuncture therapy, according to TCM, believes that
health is dependent on the smooth flow of Qi – which when
in good health moves in a smooth and balanced way through
a chain of 14 major channels or meridians. By inserting fine,
painless needles into specific acupoints which belong to dif-
ferent meridians and organ systems, the body’s energy (Qi) is
stimulated to start the healing process.
For the best results of anxiety treatment I always recom-
mend lifestyle and dietary changes in addition to
Acupuncture and Chinese herbal formula treatments to help
balance the Mind and Shen. In addition, learning yoga and
meditation on how to control and relax the mind is extreme-
ly helpful. Combining these arts, dietary changes and regu-
lar Acupuncture treatment will provide a medication free
alternative treatment for those who suffer from general anxi-
ety disorder.

Best Food Choices for a Crowd
S
ome people cringe at the thought of
hosting a crowd, not because of the
people, but because they don't know
where to start regarding food.
Cooking or catering for a crowd doesn't
have to be a stressful situation when food
choices are made based on what can fill the
bellies of guests in the easiest fashion. Here
are some pointers that can get any host or
hostess started.
1. First, the person hosting the party
should realize that "you can't please every-
one all of the time." However, efforts can be
made to please as many people as possible.
Start by making a list of foods that have a
past track record with friends and family.
2. For those who are still baffled regard-
ing menu options, think about foods that
can be stretched a long way and that are rel-
atively filling. This will cut down on the
preparation and the need to have multiple
dishes. For example, pasta dishes are gener-
ally hearty, can be cooked in bulk and will
appeal to the masses. What's more, if its

prepared without meat or a meat sauce,
pasta is also a great option for vegetarians.
3. Use restaurant party package menus as
inspiration. Restaurants are in the business
of pleasing diners. Most will have a party
menu with crowd favorites. Refer to this
menu when crafting a home event. Have a
dish of pasta, a tray of poultry or meat, a
vegetable dish, and perhaps a starchy side
of potatoes or rice. Salad and bread will

Mom “Graduates” with

Youngest Son

Peggy Molter began volunteering at St. Mary’s School in 1980, when her oldest of six chil-
dren, Brian, began Kindergarten. She has been a consistent presence at the school, help-
ing at events and during lunch for 30 years! This June, Peggy “graduated” along with her
youngest son, Ryan, who will be attending West Morris Central High School in the fall.

Harlin’s Point of View....
Let’s Join Together, Shall We?
by Harlin Parker
2 A
.5%? 2.9%? Now 2%? The swells in
Trenton are serious this time. Their
answer to the sky high amount and
costs of governing ourselves in New Jersey
is to force municipalities to restrict local tax
increases to “only” 2%. Or was it 2.5%?
Oh, that was yesterday. Today we’re at 2%.
Who knows what tomorrow will bring?
Can I see a show of hands from all those
who think this “cap” is going to have any
long term, beneficial effect? I hope not
many hands went up.
Once again, we see embarrassing efforts
to try to make a Model T into a sleek new
car. It just can’t be done. Artificial “caps,”
such as they may be, are not going to make
the ‘ol Model T, which was made about the
same time that New Jersey’s governing
structure was, into anything other than a
Model T. If it was ever a wonderful car
back then, and it was, it just doesn’t fit the
bill for what is needed today. No amount of
tinkering will change that. To really bring
down the costs of government, we have to
confront the 800 pound Gorilla in the room.
Pardon me if you’d heard this before.
You’re going to hear it again because it real-
ly is the only road between here and there.
Others have likened New Jersey's fixa-
tion about home rule to religion. That’s a
problem. Faith is quite fine for religion but
it doesn't work for public policy. Faith need
not be rational. Faith allows you to hold
onto certain beliefs simply because you
choose to. To the extent so many people in
New Jersey hold on to their quaint notions
about "home rule," it is only by faith that
they do so. The current reality is, unfortu-
nately, a far cry from what they believe.
Those beliefs are costing all of us, plenty.
There are many well meaning people in
New Jersey who offer a sincere defense of
the status quo. They look to support their
arguments with “facts,” some of which are
actually true. And those facts can seem
compelling. But over many years, studies
have been done. Rigorous studies by pro-
fessionals with no ax to grind. The jury, if I
may say, is no longer out on this issue. The
verdict is in. New Jersey's glut of munici-
palities and school districts is costly and
unwieldy. To reign in government’s stupen-
dous and out of control costs, the current
structure has to go.
We have to realize, though, that the cur-
rent system, such as it is, works for lots of
people. Not just public employees but for
all those who feed off of public contracts.
Local elected officials also, it seems to me,
delight in their public roles and will not
readily relinquish their positions. There are,
as the phrase goes, many “entrenched inter-
ests” who do not want any change. And we
all know the truism that those who stand to
lose something will fight much harder to
avoid change than will those who have
something to gain will fight for the changes
that are needed. Add in inertia and minimal
interest, including short attention spans, on
the part of the public at large and it’s easy to
see how the same old same old keeps going.
So what to do? I’m sure that a rational,
well thought out blueprint for what New
Jersey’s local government structure should
be is possible. The people of New Jersey
are smart and rational enough to do this.
The public discussion of ideas that are per-
colating for government consolidation,
including the discussion at
CourageToConnectNJ.com and at govern-
mentefficiencymovement.org is exactly
what we need. You should take a look at
both of those sites. I also believe, though,
that no matter how good the ideas, we’re
looking at a long road to salvation.
The tepid, albeit sincere, efforts over the
past years to combine two municipalities
here and there (i.e.: the Princetons or the
Chesters) have all come to naught. As I’ve
learned, the “two towns” approach won’t
do. A critical mass is needed. That could
mean five or more towns merging into one.
Don’t panic, that doesn’t mean you’re going
to lose the “hometown” feel about your
town.
But whatever the final blueprint might
be, it won’t go anywhere if those
“entrenched interests” continue to prevail
over rational plans. To help persuade citi-
zens and municipal officials alike we’ve
heard much about the idea of the state com-
ing in to pay not only transition costs, but
for ongoing municipal operating costs for a
period of years following any consolidation.
Well, carrots are all well and fine, but I
doubt they’ll do the trick. Oh sure, for some
towns that might do, but we need to over-
come those entrenched interests and, even
more importantly, that “faith” that so many
people hold on to. We’ll need more than
carrots.
I think we’ll need two ingredients to
bring about the consolidation we know we
need. One is a long time line. Trying to
force local public employees or public offi-
cials out is, to say the least, difficult. These
are the same people, after all, who have
fought against consolidation so tenaciously.
We should set a consolidation plan in place,
in writing, and allow that plan to play out
over a five to ten year period. Maybe more
years. After all, employees retire. The
terms of elected officials expire. Municipal
contracts with private companies and indi-
viduals expire and need not be renewed.
Think of this as a gentle landing.
The second essential ingredient? We
need to all jump together. While local input
is certainly needed as part of the consolida-
tion planning process, we should not allow
for a hodgepodge of separate consolidation
plans, although provisions tailored to the
needs of individual municipalities should be
part of any overall blueprint. But if we leave

Tom’s Point of View...
Understanding Kyleigh's Law
by Thomas Lotito
s a father of two teenagers who des-
perately want to drive, I've begun to
ask myself some serious questions;
"Am I ready for this?" and, "Do I really
want to hand over a two ton automobile to a
couple of kids that a few short years ago
were playing with Bobbie Dolls and
Thomas the Tank engine? Are my children
ready for the responsibilities that come with
operating an automobile in a safe efficient
manor?" To be honest, I just don't know.
On May 1st, 2010 Kyleigh's law took
effect. Kyleigh's law requires that any driv-
er under the age of 21 with a Graduated
Drivers License (GDL, formerly called a
Provisional License) must display GDL
decals on their license plate when operating
a motor vehicle. And, may not operate a
motor vehicle between the hours of 11 pm
and 5 am. Kyleigh's law was named after
Kyleigh D'Alessio who died in a car acci-
dent on Dec. 21 2006.
FYI, GDL license laws were imple-
mented in 2001. The GDL law also restrict-
ed teen drivers to only 1 passenger, 1 sib-
ling in the vehicle at a time, but the GDL
laws have never been enforced by police.)
When I first read about Kyleigh's Law, I
was against it. But, after I read negative
comments about Donna Weeks (Kyleigh
D'Alessio's mother) motives for authoring
and lobbying for Kyleigh's law, I decided
to investigate what the law was about for
myself before I made up my mind where I
stood on the issue.
In May during the primary election I had
the opportunity of meeting and Donna
Weeks and asking her about Kyleigh's law,
here is her story.
Tom Lotito, "Mrs. Weeks, what motivat-
ed you to lobby for Kyleigh's Law?"
Donna Weeks, "After Kyleigh's accident
I began to research information on teen
driving, what I learned really shocked me.
According to the Insurance Institute for
Highway Safety, a 17 year old driver with a
GDL having just one friend in the car
increases the the risk of getting into an acci-
dent by 50%. With three or more friends in
the car the risk is nearly four times greater.
Had I known this, I would not have let
Kyleigh get into that car. As I did more
research I realized that these were alarming
statistics. This motivated me to get this
information out to parents, I could not hold
it in. How could I not share this information
with other parents to help them save their
teens lives?
I also interviewed a lot of teenagers, they
were permit drivers and provisional drivers,
and every single one of them were good
kids to their parents and in the community,
every one of them told me they broke the
law. I want to make a difference between
my generation and this generation. We did-
n't have this information back then. We did-
n't know this. Let's educate our new
teenagers, let's give them the equipment, so
they can change the statistics that are
against them.
Then they can make a change, and that
change will continue on and protect new
drivers, because we didn't get to do this. But
now that we are getting to do this, it's hard
to change, but, we have to take this step
forward, now that we know if one other
friend gets into the car with them there's a
50% chance of getting into an accident,
with three or more friends in the car the risk
is four times greater? Why haven't we done
anything about this?
Tom Lotito, " Mrs weeks are you saying
there isn't enough information being given
to parents of teen drivers?
Donna Weeks, "Yes, that's exactly what I
am saying, parents need more information.
Nearly 5,000 teens die each year in car acci-
dents and more than 300,000 are injured
and maimed. (http://www.allstate.com
/foundation/teen-safe-driving.aspx). Traffic
crashes are the leading cause of teen fatali-
ties. The National Safety Council sees the
issue as a national crisis. Knowing these
risks could save lives, it's been proven. One
day I was placing flowers at Keighley's
accident site, a man stopped and asked me
if I knew Kyleigh. I told him I was
Kyleigh's mom, he began to share his
story."When I was 17 I killed my best
friend, why did I survive and he died? I
went on to college, got married and had a
family, he didn't. I wish this law was in
place back then, my friend would still be
alive today, there isn't a day that goes by
that I don't think of him."
Tom Lotito, "Mrs Weeks, what do you
say to people who oppose Keighley's law?"
Donna Weeks "I new something had to
be done to save teens lives, the first year
behind the wheel for a teen driver is very
dangerous, the first six months is most dan-
gerous. In 2006, 73 teens were killed in a
car accident in New Jersey. In 2009, 44
teens were killed. We are making progress
but there is so much more to be done. A
tragedy like this can happen to anyone.
And 44 teens is still too much for me. It's
been proven, awareness of these statistics
saves lives. We have worked hard on Teen
Driver Awareness since January 2007 and it
has been working."
Tom Lotito, "What do you say to oppo-
nents of Keighley's Law who say that the
red stickers will easily identify their chil-
dren to predators or that the police will
unfairly profile their teen while driving?
Donna Weeks, "I researched similar laws
in countries like Japan and Australia, there
is no statistical data in those countries to
prove that pedophiles were following
underage teen drivers with stickers on their
cars. I was also fortunate enough speak with
people from these countries, they didn't
seem to have any problem with having a

midfielder for PFC Milan for the past three
years.
“It’s a lot of running,” says Alex who has
always enjoyed the sport. “I’m very active.
Soccer lets me roam free. It’s easy to make
friends when you play soccer.”
Besides playing the sport, Alex has also
volunteered as a mentor for kids with spe-
cial needs at Top Soccer, a soccer camp in
Chester, in which he taught them soccer
skills on Saturdays for eight weeks in the
spring.
Unable to volunteer for that camp this
spring, Alex’s life took an unexpected path
but one with new insight and awareness for
him and his family.
“It’s unexplainable how people get these
cancers,” says Boothe, CEO of the U.S.
Division of Actavis, a generic pharmaceuti-
cal company in Morristown. He was told
that “it can be related to a virus that
mutates; it could be the environment.
There’s nothing he did to get this.” As
described to us, as the body changes (some-
what associated with puberty) things hap-
pen, he says.
“This is pretty devastating but knowing
there is as treatment path you realign and
prepare yourself for the fight,” says Boothe.
Access to fantastic medical care, work-
ing for a company that “has been really
great” in “giving me the time I need to han-
dle this” and having “a great community
that’s been very supportive,” has been a big
plus.
“We are incredibly fortunate to have
access to great health care,” says Boothe.
“Our insurance company has been great.”
And to live so close to MSK has been even
more helpful. “There are people from all
over the world that come to Sloan
Kettering.”
The Chester Caring Committee put
together a package with coupons, menus

sticker on their car identifying underage
drivers in order to protect them. And, this
speaks out to how the police would treat
GDL drivers. I don't think police will stop
teens unnecessarily, unless they are break-
ing the law. West Morris Central HS
requires a parking sticker with a paw print
on the sticker with a P in the middle to let
police know they are provisional drivers,
there have been no complaints or incidences
with the police.
Tom Lotito, "Mrs. Weeks, do you have
anything else you would like to say before
we close?
Donna Weeks, "Yes, I just want to say
that Kyleigh’s high school has been very
supportive in many ways. Her soccer num-
ber, # 17 (which she has had since 2nd
grade), was retired and is hung at her high
school. The most team spirited player, on
both the Soccer and Lacrosse teams,
receives a $1,000.00 scholarship. We have
a memorial 5K run/walk each year to raise
and gift cards to restaurants and supermar-
kets to help out the Boothe family. Alex,
especially in the beginning, has had to fol-
low a restricted diet, so rather than give pre-
pared meals, the committee decided that
gift cards would be more appropriate.
“There was an outpouring of people to
help,” says Boothe, from friends, family,
the community and church.
The Boothes decided to give back as
well by getting involved with Kids Walk for
Kids with Cancer, an outlet for kids who
have gone through Sloan Kettering and
want to contribute. Held in May, partici-
pants collect pledges then walk in Central
Park, NY.
“At that time Alex was in no condition to
do a 5-K walk,’’ says Boothe, but he set up
his own web page with a goal to raise
$10,000.
In his website, Alex writes “My goal:
Raise as much money as possible for The
National Cancer Foundation in hopes to
find a cure for childhood cancer. While this
may come as a shock- cancer isn't exactly
the most fun thing in the world for a 15 yr
old kid in high school. So I'm hoping with
all the donations more and more research
can be put towards figuring out a cure.”
They were amazed by the “outpouring of
support,” says Boothe.
“We raised $10,000 in two days,” he
says. They stopped after reaching $35,552.
The Kids Walk is organized by students
from more than 25 NYC-area schools to
raise funds for pediatric cancer research at
MSK. The Kids Walk has raised $1 million
during the past 10 years and $120,000 this
year alone.
“Next year we plan on doing the walk,”
says Boothe, explaining that fundraising
has been very important. “MSK does awe-
some work and research, so while $35K
doesn’t sound like a lot – it all helps and
money for the scholarships. We have
worked hard on Teen Driver Awareness
since January 2007, and it has been work-
ing.I hope more people will visit
NJteendriving.com, this will help them
understand the GDL. I know what it feels
like to lose an incredible child and I don’t
want another family to have to live though
the pain that my family and friends will for
the rest of our lives. Kyleigh’s brothers and
sister miss her more then words could every
express and there is not a minute she is not
on my mind. It is Kyleigh’s strength and
spirit that helps me to continue.
Thank you Mrs. Weeks for taking the
time to inform us.( my wife and children
were present during the interview)
Having met Donna Weeks and heard her
story first hand, I too am alarmed by the sta-
tistics. I have become a proponent of
Keighley's law, much to the chagrin of my
two teenage children. Agree? Disagree?

counts. Also, as it is unrestricted money it
may go to activities and other programs
which support the children (games, more
aides, better beds, etc.)
“Raising the money was also very valu-
able to Alex’s psyche as he was dealing
with his diagnosis and the chemotherapy
treatments,” continues Boothe. “As you can
imagine Alex was dealing with a lot of bad
news and difficult treatments. The
fundraising was one area which he actively
felt good about himself and that he has
some ‘control’.”
Alex plans to continue to raise funds for
cancer research by joining forces with a
good friend who survived cancer when she
was toddler. In the fall or spring, they will
sponsor a soccer fundraiser “Shoot for Stay
Strong Boothe” with soccer based activities
“like penalty shots and organized scrim-
mages to raise money for The National
Cancer Foundation. If everyone could
donate $20 I think we could really make a
difference and truly donate towards cancer
research.”
They plan to give 100 percent of their
proceeds to MSK in a grant for pediatric
cancer research.
From this experience, Alex has been
given a new awareness to fundraising.
“Now that I have cancer, the fundraisers
make a big difference,” he says. “I know
what I’m fundraising for and what it’s
going to help.”
Alex and his dad offer some advice to
other cancer victims.
“Don’t panic or get too far in front of
yourself about the treatments, outcomes,

the final word up to individual towns, many
of those consolidations will never get
going. To get this all to work, I think we
need to emulate the idea that allowed the
federal government to close so many
unneeded, excess, military bases and instal-
lations. It was an all or nothing pact. No
nitpicking. Everybody had to jump togeth-
er. For New Jersey as well, I think we need

etc.,” says Boothe. “There is very little
value in planning six months out until you
get past the next six days or six weeks. Ask
a lot of questions, go to the best doctors if
you can, and don’t be afraid to utilize all
available resources (friends, family, co-
workers, neighbors, etc.) who may be able
to help.
“Be prepared – for the treatments, the
stress, the impact on the family, but also be
patient,” he continues. “Be positive – it is
incredible the amount of progress which
has been made and the improvements in the
expected outcomes and treatment
approaches.”
Also, “Stay Strong” – as it says on the
bracelets which were created as part of the
fund-raising. We’ve needed the strength
and support from all around.”
Alex recommends finding “a solid sup-
port system. I try to stay in touch with my
friends as much as possible. Texting or
staying connected through Facebook has
helped me so I can still kind of hang with
my friends. It makes you feel normal.
Every other day in the hospital is not a
blast.”
Alex is thankful for all of the support
that he has been given from his family,
friends and community, as well as all of the
generous contributions through his website.
He looks forward to his future fundrais-
ing, getting stronger and his trip to Naples,
Fl. later this month.
“The port is under my skin, he says, “So
I can get wet. I plan to wear a swim vest so
I don’t get mad sunburn.”
to assure, by law, that a blueprint for con-
solidation covers all the municipalities and
school districts throughout the state and that
everyone follow that blueprint. It’s the fair
way to do this. And we must do this. Not
consolidating is not an option if we want to
bring about more efficient and far less cost-
ly government.
