Beyond the conditions many can relate to, outside thewalls of what’s the norm, exists a world so difficultto imagine unless one visits and reaches out to help.

In Guatemala City, 11,000 peoplein 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 thedump.”

Just when all hopelessness is lost for these human beingsliving in one of the most impoverished areas , more andmore volunteers are stepping up to assist and steer them to abetter life. Some local people have become very involvedand formed an organization known as Beyond The Walls.This month, 75 individuals are volunteering to visit theGuatemala City Garbage Dump to build houses, donateclothing and shoes and organize sport clinics.

The non-profit organization started in 2007 at theMendham Hills Community Church, although missionteams were sent out before.

“We had been going to Guatemala for a couple of years,”explains Betsy Ahl of Morris Township, executive directorof Beyond The Walls. “The church was sending missionteams. We asked volunteers to help raise money to help payfor trips, build houses. They’d raise more money and thatwould go toward projects.”

In order to influence others outside the church to getinvolved, and to receive matching grants from volunteers’employers, organizers decided to expand the church groupto a secular, non-profit organization, explains Ahl.

The idea to help the people of Guatemala dates back to2005, when Mendham was named one of the top wealthiestplaces to live in America.

“The elders of Mendham Hills Chapel thought this was-n’t 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 memberand the idea to team up with the Potter’s House organization,with a mission to eradicate poverty, build houses, help oth-ers get business loans and establish community programs.

“It’s a ravine right in the center of the Capitol City,”describes Ahl. “They’ve been filling it up with garbage for50 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 impor-tant to “come back and form long term relationships,” saysAhl who has sponsored three kids in Guatemala in the KidsIn Potter House Education Program, in which 50 kids are

Knowledgable. Hard working. Honest.

My only purpose is to deliver successful results.

Concerned that a child or another fam-ily member can't get the words outclearly, easily, or at all? If so, attend

a free information session, Discovering andDealing with Speech Language Disorders in

Your Child, at The Morristown & MorrisTownship Library at 7 p.m. on Thurs., Sept.10.

The program will be led by JoanneSummer, MA, CCC-SLP, a Morristown-based speech-language pathologist.Summer, who founded Well Spoken SpeechTherapy, LLC, after spending 12 years treat-ing students in the Morris School District,will explain possible tactics for children whoare finding it difficult to communicate ver-bally. She will speak on the differencesbetween speech and language, the types of language disorders, speech fluencies anddisfluencies, and steps parents can take. Thepresentation will also provide informationon services that are available through publicand private schools as well as private practi-tioners.

“It’s important to address most speechdisorders as early as possible, especially inthe case of children,” warned Summer.“Although many young children who stutter,for example, will outgrow their disorderwithin a couple of years, some 20 percentwill not without therapeutic intervention. In

the absence of therapy, they unfortunatelymay stutter for the rest of their lives. Mostparents do not want to take that gamble.”

Summer has helped hundreds of childrenimprove their speech sound production(articulation) and language skills. In her pri-vate practice, her clients also includeyounger children, as well as adults, and shealso works with people of all ages who stut-ter or otherwise struggle to speak fluently.

“Speaking should be an effortless andwonderful experience,” said Summer. “Noone should become anxious over it.”

After completing her bachelor’s degreein English Literature at Stony BrookUniversity, Summer earned a master’sdegree in speech-language pathology from

Local Speech Expert Urges Parents To Seek Early InterventionMontclair State University. She subsequent-ly was certified as a speech-language pathol-ogist by the American Speech-Hearing-Language Association (ASHA).

Morristown native and Craigslist

Founder Craig Newmark made

headlines in July, when he donat-

ed $10,000 to a community garden inMorristown, Grow It Green Morristown.

The money will help fund a composting toi-

let 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 andthe 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 immedi-ate 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 gar-

den, but he would prefer to focus on votingrights 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.

SKYLIGHTS and SPECIALTY SHAPES

Injuries to the eye are the most com-

mon cause of blindness in school-

age children, which should lead

parents to be cautious when it comes to

having their children wear protective

eyewear. Kids are especially suscepti-

ble to sports-related eye injuries be-

cause 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 rec-

ommended. 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 sun-

glasses and a hat on sunny days out-

doors.

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 irrita-

tion persists, contact your eye care pro-

fessional 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, Thurs-

days, 10 to 7, and Saturdays, 10 to 4.

“People expect the call to

come from a personal assis-

tant, but I'm a nerd, can't seemyself using a personal

assistant.”Abby Gallo, the execu-

tive director of Grow it

Green, said they were blownaway 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. “Hisdonation will help to pro-

vide a much-needed com-

posting toilet for the garden,

which will be wonderful forcommunity events andclasses held in the garden.”

Newmark’s donation will

provide a much-needed rest-

room facility as part of the

garden’s new design thatincludes a public parklet,

solar-powered community

pavilion, ADA-compliant

walking path, a compostingcenter, demonstration api-

ary, bike repair station and

94 garden beds, double the

number currently on site.The Early Street

Community Garden pro-vides space for more than 50

families to grow their own

food, flowers and herbs.

Gardeners manage their

raised bed space of eithereight feet squared or eight

feet by 16 feet. Gardeners

choose what to grow as long

as it is grown without syn-

thetic fertilizers or chemicalpest management.

Newmark is the founder

of Craigslist. While no

longer part of management,

he continues to work with

Craigslist as a customerservice representative in

what he calls a “light-

weight” capacity.

Morris County’shistory is on

view on main

streets and secluded

byways and the county’scommitment to preservingthe evidence of its past is

well known.

The Board of Chosen

Freeholders recently

announced the historic

preservation grants award-ed on the recommendation

of the Historic

Preservation Trust Fund

Review Board.

Roxbury Township his-toric sites are beneficiaries

of all three categories of

grants: restoration, acqui-

sition and planning.

The Lake Hopatcong

Foundation received$192,500 toward the mort-

gage and restoration of the

Lackawanna Railroad

Station at Landing, pur-

chased by the non-profit

in November, estimating

$450,000 would be need-

ed to pay off the loan and

restore the building. About$150,000 was already

raised toward that goal,

according to Donna

Macalle-Holly, grant coor-

dinator for the foundation.The station is set to be

used for meeting and dis-

play space as well as pro-

viding roomier offices for

the Foundation, BoardPresident Martin Kane

said at the first board

meeting held there.

“We’re really glad the

county had the confidencein 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 recipi-

ents in Roxbury Township

are in the Ledgewood

Historic District.

The King Homesteadwill receive $95,648 for

foundation repair and

repointing, siding restora-

tion and floor framing

reinforcement. It is an1881 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 con-

struction 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 theLedgewood District for

about 20 years said the

grant would be used for

the front porch. The porch

is original to the house, hesaid. 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 contrac-tor, at no charge. Matt

Oras of the local Sherwin-

Williams 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.

Rotary Club members and

teers, will help with the

project.

Announcing Our New

Collection!

Centenary College’s School of

International Studies will be

offering English as a SecondLanguage 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 par-ents, workers and citizens. The program

is designed for those whose native lan-

guage is a language other than English

and, as a result, have a limited ability in

speaking, reading, writing or understand-ing the English language. It is also ideal

for those who live in a family or commu-

nity 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 comprehen-

sive course will hopefully benefit manypeople to better equip them as they move

forward in their personal and profession-

al lives.”

The cost for the course is $150. For

information or to register, contact Lesceat (908) 852-1400, ext. 2330 or at les-

Baptist Church, also on Main Street, isreceiving a grant to complete construc-

tion documents relating to the recon-

struction of the belfry. That grant is$12,400, according to the county’s press

release. The Gothic Revival church wasbuilt in 1917 by the Gallo Brothers.

The borough of Florham Park

received a similar grant in 2014 to pre-

pare documents for reconstruction of the

roof of the Little Red School House, the

borough’s symbol. This year, FlorhamPark 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.“We’re 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 pre-

pared 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 itscollections 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 borough’s

flag, police cars and everything that says“Florham Park.”

“It ties to farming and our simple,

rural roots,” Dolan said. “It wasn’t

remuddled, it has grass surrounding it inan 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 restora-

tion project.

The mill is on Route 124 in the centerof Long Valley’s National Register

Historic District. The money is to com-

plete a preservation plan update and con-

struction documents. The documents

relate to spillway arch repair, siding andwindow 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 othersgoing to such county icons as the

Museum of Early Trades and Crafts in

Madison.

Grants Awarded...

Morristown received the most money,

$900,087 spread over 10 different proj-

ects, the county’s press release revealed.

These were: Acorn Hall, Church of the

Assumption, Church of the Redeemer,Loyola Gate House, Macculloch Hall,

sponsored to receive an education. Ahl has been sponsoringthese kids since they were in the first grade, are now gradu-ating high school and will be supported through college.

Church member and organization volunteer, Mike

Rubright, 50, of Long Valley, is currently on one of threemissions to Guatemala this month through Beyond TheWalls. His ninth trip out there during the past seven years,Rubright and his daughter, Erin, are working in the garbagedump from July 18-25.

Another one of his daughters, Emily, has gone on the tripseven times but had to miss this one. Youth volunteers mustbe starting atleast seventh grade to participate, so for Erinthis is her third trip. Volunteers must contribute $1,600 eachin order to participate, with funds going toward flight andlodging; and additional funds to supplies and building hous-es. Every year, Rubright sends letters and emails to friendsrequesting donations to help support his volunteer work.

About 75 people have signed up through Beyond TheWalls to volunteer during the three missions this month, with10 people from the Mendham, Long Valley and Chesterareas. The others are from areas throughout the country suchas Florida, New York and Texas, who formed their owngroups with Beyond The Walls.

Rubright and his wife, Katie, have a niece who wasadopted from Guatemala so their connection is even greater.

“I do construction all day long,” says Rubright. “I had noidea what I was doing; I had no construction experience.

Now I’m the person in charge of construction projects myweek.

“Everybody builds, everybody works; it doesn’t matterhow old you are,” says Rubright, principal at the WoodglenMiddle School in Lebanon Twp.

“We build a concrete block house with a concrete floor,”he explains. “We mix concrete by hand; it’s the hardest thingI’ve ever done. The girls and women work harder than I’veever seen; they don’t stop.” A family that is getting a housebuilt works beside the volunteers.

“It’s not very big,” he says, with the homes about 15 feetby 15 feet,” the size of a bedroom. Homes are for four to fiveperson families, and sometimes six to eight people.

It’s like “nine people living in the size of your kitchen,”describes Ahl. Homes are built side by side and cost $5,600to build.

A completed house consists of one big room with oneeight-foot partition wall that separates the bedrooms from“everything else,” says Rubright. “They have a toilet and ashower stall” in an area about the size of a closet, and theyget “a big concrete sink” that can weigh up to 600 pounds,which is used for all washing needs such as dishes andclothes.

Rubright also works under Guatemala masons who arevery particular with how they want things to be completed,he says.

“They tell us what to do,” says Rubright. “There are a lotof times we do things that don’t make sense; you can’t tell

them they are wrong. That’s frustrating. If they tell you toput 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 theGuatemala City Garbage Dump is luxury compared to the

“cardboard sheet metal,” dirt, chemicals, methane gas thatsurround them and sicken them while living in the dump and“breathing the trash.”

These houses also provide shelter and protection forthese people, says Rubright, as gun shots are commonlyfired in the garbage dump.

His goal during this one week visit is to build three to fivehouses with his group of volunteers.

Potter’s House has built 110 homes to date, with 75 con-tributed 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 soccerclinics and donate uniforms, soccer balls and cleats as wellas baseball clinics and donations of t-shirts; help at a med-ical clinic, vacation Bible school, and deliver groceries andvisit families.

Through their efforts, much progress has been made suchas concrete roads, a community center built last year, educa-tion programs which is much needed as the average kid doesnot 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”

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 procedurehas the capacity to bypass drilling the adjacent teeth. Additionally, with the

recent availability of mini implants, implant dentistry has expanded its utiliza-

tion to anchoring both full and partial dentures for a more secure f it. 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, insert-

ing crowns or bridges, securing dentures, to creating multiple, full-arch recon-

structions, 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 seewhat 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 parentscan work.

If they are not scavengers, they rely on the garbage dumpto sell their own goods, like tortillas to the scavengers sothey can eat, and even jewelry, says Ahl.

“It’s just this culture of poverty,” says Ahl, with highunemployment. “Education is not a value, that’s the bottomline. Potter’s House tries to teach the value of educationespecially to the parents.” It also tries to teach the vendorswho do sell inside the garbage dump to sell on the outside,says Ahl.

“But without education, it’s really, really hard to movetheir way out of the dump,” says Ahl.

Scavengers are even making less these days. As the econ-omy declined, so did the value of recyclables, explainsRubright. For those working 10 to 12 hour days, they aremaking two to three dollars.

While “there are guns everywhere, “Rubright admits thathe feels safe when there.

“The organization we are with is well respected,” he says,and they stay in a retreat center with accommodations likethat of a motel or college dorm. “We are safe; every store hasan armed guard,” and no one walks alone. “We have rela-

tionships with people. We go to the same neighborhoods.There’s more of a comfort level now. It’s a safe place- I bringmy kids there I’m 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 there’s really a God, why does he let that

happen? We let it happen by not choosing to use ourresources that way. I don’t think I could not go back. Theyhave so little but they appreciate everything they have. Wehave so much and we want so much more.”

They say, “This morning I lived in a garbage dump; nowI live in a mansion.”

Rubright admits, “I’ve learned more from them than theyget from me. I’m a better person in Guatemala than I amhere.”

Also nice is the community bond shared by the volun-teers.

For the last five or six years, the same group of peoplehave been volunteering. “Everyone enjoys each other’scompany,” say Rubright. “We work hard all day, you comeback eat dinner. There’s community; there’s no television,little internet, no cell services. It’s a lot what life should belike.”

Like Ahl, the Rubrights have sponsored a girl there sinceshe was eight; now she is 17. Through their support theyhave helped Jennifer Lopez Munoz continue to go to schooland get an education.

Rubright tells people, “I have three daughters in Americaand one in Guatemala.”

“All the kids down there, they know when we comeback,” says Rubright. “It’s humbling; it’s like family.”

Volunteers bring with them bags of clothing and shoes formore than 200 kids.

Beyond the Walls has helped other communities outsideof Guatemala, such as Native Americans, homeless peoplein Dover and in Newark.

Rubright plans to volunteer at the Pine Ridge IndianReservation in South Dakota next, which is known as thepoorest place in the U.S., next to Haiti, from alcoholism andunemployment faced by Native Americans. “This was theircountry 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, withalready 20 people signed up.

Go to Beyondthewalls.org for more information. To vol-unteer, email [email protected].

“I encourage people to go, go somewhere,” saysRubright, Long Valley softball coach for the past 14 yearsand former school board member. “Find something to dowhere you can do something for someone else. There arepeople everywhere who need something. You do not need tobe religious. Some people think it’s a church thing - it’s peo-ple helping other people.”

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 sofar,” Bauer said. “I know for a fact that cur-

rently there are four kids signed up to play

sports who have utilized the funds for equip-

ment and for team registration and thingslike that, so the funds are constantly being

used.”

Included in the updates that Bauer

received from Homeless Solutions were sto-

ries of a boy who was able to join a track

team and placed fifth at a meet, a boy who isnot 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 school’s track team because she was ableto purchase the required running shoes.

While the foundation is still in its early

stages, there are a lot of fundraisers happen-

ing 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 isfundraising material and through a partner-ship 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 TeamsFor Kids 2015 Corporate Challenge. Bauer

and the foundations are asking New Jersey


By Chelsea Cattano

Teams For Kids Foundation is a non-

profit organization that enables chil-

dren 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 mold-

ing to the needs of the children residing in

shelters and temporary housing facilities inMorristown, but the success stories are

flooding in of kids who are now providedwith the opportunity to participate with their

peers in recreational sports programs.

For Bauer, the start of the long yet

rewarding process of running a nonprofitorganization began while she was volunteer-

ing at Homeless Solutions, a homeless shel-

ter and low income housing program in

Morristown.

“I’ve been kind of running a children's

program there since I was 12-years-old,”

Bauer said. “Two summers ago I was run-

ning my children’s program at the shelterand we were making s’mores and playing

kickball with the kids at the shelter and this

10-year-old boy named Giovanniapproached 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 fewtimes 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, Giovanni’s momexplained to Bauer that families at the shel-

ter couldn't afford to put their children on

recreational sports teams because they need-

ed to save money for rent and living expens-es 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 theTeams For Kids Foundation,” Bauer said.

Bauer and the foundation distributed

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 beforeLabor Day where all employees dress down

or wear their favorite sports jersey anddonate 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 takea 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 anin-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 TeamsFor Kids day with various activities for kids

and many different ways to raise money for

children in the community.

According to Bauer, it’s going to be hard

to find a balance between her senior year of

high school and being the backbone of thisfoundation but she’s willing to give it her all.

“It’s easy in the summer because I have alot of free time so it’s kind of my priority, but

I know that during the school year I’m going

to have to find a way to balance it,” Bauer

said. “Even if it’s just kind of allocating an

hour a night to take care of emails or dona-tions or things that need to get done for the

foundation. But I’m probably going to prior-

itize school.”

For Bauer, this foundation has turned out

to be more than she thought it would.“It’s definitely much bigger than I imag-

ined,” Bauer said. “It’s a huge part of my life

and I’m just really proud of everything

“Music truly brings people together,” said Mark

end of performers that will offer a terrific blend of aneclectic array of musical genres that will please people

of all ages.”

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 onMount Everest. After discussing the immi-nent 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 hopefrom our student body."

The earthquakes were devastating,

killing more than 8,500 people and dis-

placing many thousand more people.

The Habitat Club members collecteddonations from students and staff and part-

nered 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 tocollect donations for earthquake survivors

in Nepal. Those who had no large sums togive, 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 studentbody 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 Nepalto remove rubble and provide much need-

ed temporary housing until permanent res-

idences can be built. Morris Habitat was

thrilled that the students at Morristown

High School turned their concern to com-

mitment.

The 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 ParkCommission, 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, andinternationally known, artists and photog-

raphers. Docent-led tours of the mansion,

hors d’oeuvres 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 photog-

raphers are displayed on the first and sec-

ond floors of the mansion. The historicaland cultural significance of The

Frelinghuysen Mansion is shared by

and the Rose Garden. Whippany Farm

was home to George GriswoldFrelinghuysen and his wife Sara

Ballantine Frelinghuysen, who built their

Colonial Revival-style summer home, and

a carriage house, there in 1891. The sur-

rounding property was designed and land-

scaped in the style of an English countryestate. 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.

Cutler Park is located

between Sussex and

Speedwell Avenues.

It is a very historic part of

Morristown and in the 19thCentury, it was a working

farm owned by the Cutler

Family. The Cutlers’ were

a prominent political fami-

ly. Augustus Cutler servedin 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 inCutler Park are named for

members of the Cutler fam-

ily; Walker Avenue,

Frederick Place, CondictPlace, just to name a few.

Silas Cutler was the son of

Julia and Augustus and a

prominent doctor, and

Frederick was a

Andy Breckman of Uncle Andy Toys

has created Feed A Puppy, the

world’s first live- streaming inter-

active animal app featuring real rescue pup-

pies.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 orearned, with a portion of every dollar donat-

ed 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 executiveproducer of the Emmy-winning television

series Monk. His other credits include writ-

ing 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 SevenSecond Delay. Breckman is currently pro-

ducing Probable Cause, a new mysteryseries set to air on ABC next summer.

In 2014, Breckman founded Uncle Andy

Toys and began developing a line of inno-vative 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 wasmissing 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 res-

cue, Andy wanted his app to benefit home-

less animals. He reached out to Eleventh

Hour Rescue, and the rest is app history!
