When a group ofScouts found

t h e m s e l v e s

injured and covered with a

suspicious white powder

Thursday night, Flanders

Fire Company #1 and

Rescue Squad firefighters

and emergency medical

technicians responded with

a special decontamination

unit.

Fortunately for the six

members of Cub Scout

Pack 47, it was just a drill,

and their parents watched

and cheered as firefighters

in full decontamination

With the Help of Local Scouts, Flanders FirefightersPractice Decontaminating Victims

suits with breathing appara-

tus dressed and splinted

their injuries and rushed

them into a special heated

tent with hot and cold water

where the Cubs were

scrubbed by the firefight-

ers, still in the special suits.

Once decontaminated,

other firefighters in regular

turnout gear whisked vic-

tims to another area where,

under their parents watch-

ful eyes, they were treatedfor their wounds.

This decontamination

unit is one of the special

pieces of equipment we

have available to deploy if

needed, said Fire Capt.

Kevin Elms, who oversaw

the drill. Fortunately, its

not something we use often,

so were grateful to Cub

Scout Pack 47 for letting us

cover them with baby pow-der and get them wet as we

simulated washing them so

we could practice.

The unit was issued to

Flanders Fire/Rescue by the

Morris County Office of

Emergency Management in

the wake of the Sept. 11 ter-

rorist attacks. If a mass

decontamination was to

occur in the area, Flanders

would respond with its

decontamination unit. Other

departments would accom-pany Flanders to supply

additional equipment, water

and staffing.

The decontamination

unit includes the tent, a gen-

erator, a hot-water heater, a

heater to warm the air in the

tent and the supplies to do

the job. Those include a

conveyer for patients on

backboards and packs given

to walking victims who can

shower in the tent, put their

contaminated belongings ina bag that is tracked by fire

and law enforcement offi-

cials and a gown they can

put on after removing their

own clothes.

There are three lanes

in the tent, defined by cur-

tains. One is for men, one

for women and the convey-

er for the injured goes down

the middle. Each lane has

hot and cold showers. The

decon unit has seen service

in New Orleans afterHurricane Katrina and at

other natural disasters. It

was last deployed in the

Flanders Firehouse as a

community shower after

Hurricane Sandy.

We practice setting the

unit up, which involves put-

O

n May 13, 2013, after successfully

completing a rigorous two-day

examination in Chicago, Dr. IraGoldberg, DDS, FAGD, MICOI, joined

only 411 dentists in the world as a

Diplomate of the American Board of Oral

Implantology / Implant Dentistry, becoming

one of the nations leading experts in

implant care.

Dr. Goldberg, founder of Morris County

Dental Associates, LLC in Succasunna, has

been placing and restoring implants for over

16 years. He holds various degrees in

implant associations, but this latest award is

a true sign of his skill and knowledge in the

field of implant dentistry. To earn the title

of Diplomate, Dr. Goldberg faced a compre-

hensive written and oral examination,

including presenting cases for review by an

expert panel of implant dentists. During the

oral portion, Dr. Goldberg had to defend his

treatment of complex cases covering topics

such as alternate options, decision making,

complications and maintenance. The writ-

ten exam consisted of 400 questions,

answered over an 8 hour period. The exam-

ination process measured the in-depth

knowledge, proficient skills and abilities

required for practitioners to provide com-prehensive, safe and effective oral implant

care for the public.

This was by far the most difficult exam

Ive ever participated in, but I understand

why it is so extensive, says Dr. Goldberg.

Implant dentistry is not a recognized spe-

cialty, which means any dentist can place

and restore implants, regardless of their

training. ABOI wants to ensure candidates

that pass this comprehensive exam, are truly

experts in implant dentistry and can present

appropriate solutions based on a patients

needs and well-being. In addition, they

want to ensure we complete continued edu-

cation, are versed in the latest technologies

and can excel in implant complications and

maintenance.

Dr. Goldberg routinely performs all three

disciplines of implant dentistry: bone regen-

eration (grafting), implant placement and

implant restoration, all in his office. Some

uses of implants include: single tooth

replacement, multiple teeth replacement,

Local Dentist, Dr. Ira Goldberg, One of 414 in the WorldAwarded Diplomate Status

denture stabilization, denture replacement,

and failing teeth solutions. This last cate-

gory has become an extremely viable optionfor people who suffer from an endless cycle

of tooth pain, failing root canals, constant

tooth fracture, and cavities, explains Dr.

Goldberg.

The ABOI/ID was founded in 1969 and

conducts examinations to determine the

qualifications and competence of dentists

who voluntarily apply to the Board for cer-

tification. The Board is sponsored by theAmerican Academy of Implant Dentistry.

Dr. Goldberg holds a private practice in

Succasunna in the Roxbury Mall and offers

free consultations to patients.

Local Expert Shows NJ ParentsHow To Get The Most Money For

Their Childrens College Education

New Jersey parents suffering with

finding ways to pay for their chil-

drens college education can final-

ly get the solutions to their college funding

problems.

Most families who earn $75,000 or more

and own a home assume they are not eligi-

ble for financial aid. However, most fami-

lies with income over $100,000 are actually

eligible for some types of need based

financial aid. They simply need to know

how to get their fair share.According to Newell, there are several

easy things parents can do to substantially

increase the amount of money they get from

colleges. For example, There are several

schools that historically give better finan-

cial aid packages than others, says Newell.

If families do proper income and asset

planning before filling out the forms, they

can increase eligibility by thousands of dol-

lars.

Newell offers a few simple tips to par-ents with college funding problems. If a

parent has only half an hour to end their col-lege funding problems, I would suggest the

following:

1. Make sure they do not over-value their

home on the financial aid forms

2. Try not to save money in the childs

name as it weighs more heavily than the

parents savings

3. Dont be afraid to negotiate with a col-

lege for a better financial aid package.

Newell offers New Jersey parents with

college funding problems a free booklet

that explains the 9 most common collegefunding problems and solutions. Free copies

will be distributed at the seminar listed

below.

Mr. Newell will be conducting a free

one-hour seminar for parents of college

bound high school juniors and seniors at the

following location: The Mt. Olive Public

Library on Wednesday, September 25 at

7:00 p.m.

Reservation only! Seating is limited.

Changes in the temperature, changes

in the foliage, and changes in the

sports seasons. Enrollment at Gym n' Learn

grams at CS Gymnastics in Flanders, is

as the hands on experiences in their daily

gymnastics lesson.

Mrs Lisa Regan, Gym n' Learn Director

Gym n' Learn Preschool at CS Gymnasticsand Mt Olive resident, concurs with pedia-

tricians regarding the physical benefits of

academic achievement. In addition, her

caring and qualified staff are also able topromote the less obvious benefits including:

Growing social skills through team work

and partner drills

Cognitively exercising the brain

Improving overall confidence and

encouraging an "I CAN" attitude.

Iapologize for not doing this column for

the past two months as I took the sum-

mer off from writing to enjoy the amaz-

ing things happening in Mount Olive.

During that timeframe I attempted to be asresponsive as possible to all of the residents

who contacted me with individual issues

and needs. I hope that we were able to

address most of the issues as best we could

with the resources that we have.

I would personally like to thank all of

you who have approached to tell me that

they think my staff and I are doing a great

job. I definitely see a positive change in the

way we as residents view living in Mount

Olive and I am grateful for everyones help

in making that happen. I would also like tothank all of the volunteers, sponsors and

participants who have made our programs

such as the Mud Run and Restaurant Week

so successful.

Fall in Love with Mount Olive Weekend

will be September 21-22. There will be a

Farmers Market at Town Hall 9-1p.m fol-

lowed by a Fall Festival 11-3 p.m at the

As an avid cyclist I am looking forwardto the Tour de Mount Olive set for

September 22, 2013. The Tour is a 28 mile

ride through the town and is difficult do to

the terrain. There will also be other events

of lesser difficulty. Please come join us at

Flanders Park for the event and check the

the basketball court improvement project at

Turkey Brook Park has been completed,

three phase wiring allowing for further

expansion opportunities at Turkey Brook isunderway, the design aspect of the Tot Lot

project has been awarded and the contractor

will shortly be seeking public design input.

We continue to improve our trail system.

I am pleased to advise that the Siemens

expansion in Flanders is moving forward.

Weis Markets has begun their renovations

in the old Flanders A&P site. We continue

to look for a tenant for the old BASF prop-

erty.

From the Mayors DeskAs we move into the last

quarter of the year, my

finance department has

begun putting together next

years budget numbers andfinancial projections. From

my perspective, I am happy

to report that my initial pre-

liminary view is that our

ment will result in a positive

outlook for next years

budget with minimal tax

increase for next.

When it comes to giving back to the community,

Sams Club in Budd Lake offers exceptional

donations throughout Mt. Olive and the sur-

rounding areas.From schools, to non profit organizations, fire and police

departments and town events, the Sams Club in Budd Lake

allocates funds on a need to need basis. The wholesale retail

warehouse for members only recently allocated more than

Sams Club Gives Back To Local Community and Groups

$10,000 to non-profit organizations near by who requested

sponsorship funds.

Taking care of the community and participating in events

is the stores way of giving back.If we can help we always try to help as much as we

could, says Fred Acheampong, manager at Sams Club in

Budd Lake.

Acheampong says every month we have a certain

amount of money we give out. What we do is people send

in a request letter; we review it and give them what they

need.

Like other Sams Clubs, the store in Budd Lake is allo-

cated a budget in which it could donate funds.

Our company does a very good job, says

Acheampong. They have a budget for us. The budget for

Sams Club in Budd Lake was $10,000 with funds recently

allocated.

In a separate budget, the store also has a certain amount

of money that it can allocate to certain non-profit organiza-

tions as well. This amount can vary depending on the allo-

cated requests, says Acheampong.

Sams Club in Budd Lake recently co-sponsored the Mt.

Olive Mud Run in which it supplied money, fruit, and a pal-

let or 600 bottles of water. Two managers and five supervi-

sors also competed in the Mud Run.

They did it as fun, says Acheampong, who admits he

did the whole course, and faced some tough competition

against fire-fighters and police officers in town.

The Sams Club in Budd Lake also recently sponsored

the Mt. Olive Carnival by supplying fruit and money.

During Hurricane Sandy last year, Sams Club providedcoffee and breakfast to people and organized three eight

foot tables supplying power cords and power supply to

those needing energy to their laptops or cell phones for up

to three weeks, says Pedro Almonte, assistant manager at

Sams Club in Budd Lake.

To keep up with the needs of the community, a newly

hired club manager at the Sams Club in Budd Lake will be

in contact on a regular basis with the township mayor to

keep the relationship going between the town and the

warehouse to see what we need to do to help the commu-

nity.

Acheampong says, We believe in the town and the area

we do business in. We want to help our community. We are

part of the community. We want to make sure the commu-

nity is taken care of. We want to be involved in the commu-

nity through donations as well as involvement.

For funds or support through its monthly donations, non-

profit organizations can contact Sams Club in Budd Lake

by submitting a request for a Community Grant Process

through its website www.samsclub; or they can send a let-

ter to Sams Club in Budd Lake. Organizations in Mt. Olive,

Blairstown, Hackettstown and other surrounding zip codes

will be considered.

One is never too young nor too old to receive a chi-

ropractic adjustment at Flanders Chiropractic

Center in Flanders.

Dr. John Lefand and his daughter, Dr. Laura Lefand,

have been treating patients as young as four-days old to as

old as 98 years old.

We never made 100, says Dr. John Lefand, chiroprac-

tic physician, at least not yet. Licensed Physicians by New

Jersey State Board of Chiropractors, Lefand has been run-

ning the family practice since he opened the center at 28

Plaza Road in Flanders in 1969. His daughter has been

practicing there with him for the past 20 years.

With more than 1,000 patients, the Lefands provide a

hands-on chiropractic approach. They also have certain

modalities available such as Electrical Muscle Stimulation

(EMS) and Ultrasound.

We are the longest established practice in the area,

says Lefand. We use all the chiropractic techniques. We

use the technique suitable for that condition or ailment.

Between himself and his daughter, they have more than

75 years of experience in chiropractic care.

Dr. John Lefand received his BS degree in 1961 from

Seton Hall University, followed by his chiropractic license

Make No Bones About It- Local Chiropractor Reaches 50 Years of Practicein 1964 from the Chiropractic College in New York. He

opened his first practice in Newark and Irvington before

coming to Flanders.

He served as vice president of the Essex County

Chiropractic Association in 1967; president of the Morris

County Chiropractic Association from 1970 to 1976; and

chair for the Ethics Committee of the Morris County

Chiropractic Association from 1976-1980.

Practicing as a chiropractor was not Lefands original

career plan. While attending Seton Hall University for its

pre-dental program with intentions of becoming a dentist,

Lefands mother injured her neck in an elevator accident.

For two years she went to all kinds of doctors with no

relief, says Lefand. She went to a chiropractor and with-

in six months she got 100 percent relief. Thats when I

switched over and decided I wanted to be a chiropractor. I

saw what a chiropractor could do what other medical prac-

tices failed to do.The building that Lefand practices in used to be his

home that he, his wife and four children lived in.

Weve expanded (the house) the office and its now a

professional building with adequate on and off street park-

ing, says Lefand, a Chester resident.

All of Lefands children have received chiropractic care

since they were born.

The most traumatic experience you have is birth, says

Lefand. Newborn babies, they get grabbed by the neck.

When they are inside the womb, theres a lot of twisting and

turning. They will have spinal difficulties.

Lefands adjustment to newborn babies includes a gentlefingertip adjusting.

We check for realignment of the spine and they are

adjusted by our fingertips, says Lefand. Its a precaution

if anything.

Adjustments to newborns have been proven to correct

spinal misalignment and aids in proper nerve functioning.

All functioning comes from the nervous system which is the

brain and the spine. When there is misalignment it can

cause other ailments.

Four years ago, a four-day old baby girl from Flanders

who was partially paralyzed was brought into Lefands

office for an adjustment.After four visits to the office, the patient responded,

says Lefand. The child wasnt paralyzed anymore. She

had a pinched nerve somewhere, he says. Now four-years

old, she and her family are still patients of Lefand.

Adjustments can also improve the immune system.

Lefand is not the only chiropractor in his family. In addi-

tion to his daughter, Laura, his son and daughter-in-law are

also chiropractors in Georgia.

Laura Lefand of Bridgewater also attended Chiropractic

College in NY after receiving her BS degree from Suny

Purchase State University in NY.

She has three children who are all regularly adjustedand were adjusted at birth, he says. She went in 15 min-

utes after their birth and she adjusted them with her finger-

tips.

Lefand says, Ive been doing this for 50 years. I consid-

er it not only a profession but a mission in life to alleviate

their pain. When I alleviate their pain I get the most joy in

my life.

Office hours are Monday through Sat., 9 a.m. to noon;

and Tues. and Thurs. 3:30 p.m. to 7 p.m. Five treatment

rooms and same day appointments are available.

Call 973-584-4499 for an appointment.

Aloha Mind Math

presents parents with

5 essential education

and life principles to help

children excel as they pre-pare to go back to school.

Teach Your Child to

Reach for the Stars

Have them write down

their hopes and visions each

year. Throughout life we

have the tendency to let go of

our lofty goals because of

fear. Lead them to talk open-

ly about their hopes and

dreams. Be supportive.

Encourage your child to notgive up, especially during

challenging times and, espe-

cially when obstacles get in

the way. Support your chil-

dren to dream big. Parents

can create a book of their

vision. Ask them to draw

what they want to be, write a

brief paragraph explaining

what they would do, and

what it would mean to them

to achieve their dream. By

them putting their ambitions

on paper helps the child visu-

alize their aspiration.

Allow and Teach Your

Child to be Inquisitive

Inventors like Ben

Franklin and Steve Jobs were

innately curious about why

and how things worked.Provide your kids opportuni-

ties to think outside the box.

Take them to a Science and

Industry Museum or a

Childrens Discovery

Museum. Provide options

where active learning can

take place up close in differ-

ent environments.

Teach Your Child the

Importance of Education

Obtaining a college edu-cation and buying a house

are some of the American

dreams. Attending college

may seem like a lifetime

away to children or an

unachievable dream, but

once achieved no one can

take away your diploma or

degree.

Children need to be self-

assured in who they are to

ask probing questions. In

order for a child to be inquis-

itive it is also important he or

she feels comfortable asking

and answering questions

either in class, after class,

after school, and at home.

Teach Your Child to

Accept Mistakes and Learn

from ThemThey are starting a new

school year which means

new teachers, friends, and

new concepts. They may

meet many challenges in the

school year. Teach your child

to allow themselves to

accept, but learn from their

mistakes. The next step is to

instruct them on how to solve

their own problems.

Teach Your Child toRealize They Can Do

Anything They Put Their

Mind to Do

The mind is miraculous.

Parents usually see the capa-

bilities and talents of their

children long before they do.

This is likely why some chil-

dren may by surprised of

their own successes when

others knew they had the

ability all along. Give them

nudges of encouragement.

Provide constructive feed-

back. Most of all consistently

tell your children they can be

whatever they want to be and

achieve whatever they want.

How did Howard Schultz,

founder of Starbucks, who

grew up in the projects in

Brooklyn achieve success

and build a household name?

In his own words, "I wasn't

afraid to create a company

that no one initially believed

in Dream more than others

think practical. Expect more

than others think possible.

Care more than others think

wise."

According to AutoGuide.com, the

Toyota Corolla is the number one

selling vehicle of all time. Since pro-

duction on the Corolla began in 1966, the

Japanese automaker's beloved sedan has soldmore than 37.5 million units. While its rela-

tively low price tag and reputation for fuel

efficiency likely played a role in propelling

the Corolla to its status as the most popular

automobile of all time, the vehicle that is sec-

ond fiddle to the Corolla might come as a sur-

prise. With roughly 35 million units sold

since its introduction in 1948, the Ford F-

Series truck line is the second best selling

vehicle of all time. The popularity of the F-

Series line of pickup trucks is perhaps a

byproduct of its various incarnations, such as

the smaller F-150 and the much larger andmore powerful F-450. Rounding out the top

five are the Volkswagon Golf, which has sold

27.5 million units since it was first introduced

as the Rabbit in 1974; its older sibling, the

Volkswagon Beetle, which has sold 23.5mil-

lion units since its introduction 80 years ago;

and the Ford Escort, which has sold 20 mil-

lion units despite being discontinued in 2000.

All Gods Children is a non-denomi-

national Christian church service

designed for all school-aged chil-

dren, with a special welcome for families

dealing with autism, ADHD, Aspergers,

Downs and other developmental disabilities.

The seventh year inaugural service kicked

off on September 15th, initiating a series of

twice-monthly worship services at Christ

Church Budd Lake, to be held every first

and third Sunday at 9AM. On October 6th

families are encouraged to bring their

favorite pets (live or stuffed!) with them to

the service for the annual Blessing of the

Animals.

Catering to short attention spans, the All

Gods Children service is a lively combina-

tion of music, prayer, Bible stories, move-

Christ Church Budd Lake Worship Servicefor Special Needs Families Kicks Off Seventh Year

ment and communion. The essential mes-

sage of Gods love and joy for all of His

children is presented in a simplified, mean-

ingful way. This service brings together

children with disabilities AND children

without disabilities to learn together, and

from each other, in an atmosphere of under-

standing and acceptance. Following the half-

hour service, parents share refreshments and

ideas while the children enjoy animated

videos with adult supervision.

This unique service has been profiled in

several media outlets as a provider of a wel-

coming worship space for families with

exceptionally active and/or vocal children,

who often are diagnosed with Aspergers,ADD, autism, or a host of other conditions.

Each child participates to the best of their

individual abilities along with their families.

The number of participants continues to

grow, along with a growing sense of the

importance of sharing the Christian faith

with ALL of Gods extraordinary young

people. Come and pray for healing,

strength, progress, and enlightenment as we

share our spiritual journeys!

Christ Church is located at the corner of

Smithtown and Sandshore Road by Budd

Lake in Mount Olive, NJ, just up from Route

46. For more information please call the

church at 973-347-1866 or email

[email protected] or visit

www.ChristChurchBuddLake.org for sam-ple services and video clips.

According to the most recent infor-

mation from forecaster

TrueCar.com, the average price for

a new car or light truck is $30,303. This fig-

ure represents a roughly $1,200 increase

from 2011. People looking to get a deal by

purchasing a used car won't find much

relief, as even used car prices have

increased. But people trading in a used car

for a new one may be able to get more

money on the trade-in or sale of a used car

than in the past, which should help to defray

some of the cost of the more pricey newer

model.

Apples! They are a symbol of the fall.

And what better way to usher in the

season than with the Annual Apple

Festival at the United Presbyterian Churchin Flanders. Held on Saturday, September

28th from 10am 4pm, the festival

includes a live auction, bake sale, bounce

house, hayrides, and much more. The

church is located at 58 Drakesdale Road in

Flanders. Raindate for the festival is

Saturday, October 5th.

If you are looking for a great, totally

safe place to spend a day with your family

and have some fun, good food and great

company, the United Presbyterian Church

in Flanders is the place to be on September

28th, said church member Tom Speer

Speer explained that the Apple festival

has been held annually for about the past 13

years. The idea for the festivals name came

about because of the apple-related baked

goods sold. However, the festival has a vari-

ety of other offerings as well.

A live auction will be held from 1pm to

4pm. The auctioneer is congregation mem-

ber, Lisa Fassett. Speer noted that they are

still collecting items, but to date, there are

free night stays and breakfast at a couple

local hotels good for a year, multiple pizza

shop pizzas, tickets to sporting events,

signed sports autographs, and more. We

usually end up with nearly 75 items to auc-

tion off.

There will be a variety of goodies and

items to buy. We have a baked goods

table, hot dogs, hamburgers, popcorn, cold

drinks and more to keep you fed, said

Speer. He noted that there will be vendors

selling things including farm produce, jew-

elry, bird houses, and fishing equipment. At

the book sale table, people will be able to

find both hard and softcover books. Also,

there is a just two bucks table where

people will find many new and maybe

slightly used articles selling for just a cou-

ple of bucks.

The fun includes demonstrations and

childrens games. We are planning on hav-

ing both a local martial arts studio and an

Irish step dance group perform a demonstra-

tion. Demonstrations will be from 10 am

until 1pm, said Speer. In addition, there

will be childrens toss games, hayrides, and

a bounce house.

In the spirit of giving, a bloodmobile will

be on site.

Speers shared , All proceeds [of the fes-

tival] are retained by the church for use in

special unbudgeted projects throughout the

Return To Yesterday

By Kate Halse

Many pairs are fea-

tured on the

Amazing Race, a

reality TV show where two

people with a form of per-sonal relationship take part

in a competition that travels

around the world. Typical

pairs include parent/child

teams, best friends, co-

workers, and family mem-

bers. This fall, a team of

exes from Morristown will

add a bit of drama and

uncertainty to the mix.

The team consists of 32-

year-old sports marketer

Timothy Sweeny and 29-

year-old fitness trainer

Marie Mazzochi. Together,

the ex-couple will be one of11 teams who are compet-

ing in an adventure around

the globe for $1 million dol-

lars. The newest seasons of

the Amazing Race will pre-

miere on Sunday,

September 29, at 8 pm on

CBS.

With an event that is

already full of stress and

tension, where competitors

are often pushed to their

limits and forced to face

less-than-ideal situations,

the pairing of Sweeny and

Mazzochi may seem odd tothe majority of viewers. The

team members agree that

their situation is not opti-

mal.

One issue that they must

face during their time on the

show is an apparent lack of

communication. Mazzochi

notes that neither she nor

Sweeny listens to one

Exes Pair Up for This Fall's Amazing Raceanother, yet both insist that

they are right. She observes,

We both just yell at the

same time, and adds that

this behavior often leads to

unresolved issues.Sweeny then offers his

opinion on his partner, stat-

ing that she frequently

loses perspective and

tends to forget the bigger

picture. Complicating the

matter, he continues, is the

fact that she becomes

obsessed with being right,

rather than solving the prob-

lem.

A pre-competition Q &A session on the CBS web-

site provides more insight

into the teams character

and their differences. When

asked to name a famous per-

son who reminds him of his

teammate, Sweeny picks a

blend between Jillian

Michaels and Paris Hilton,

since she is aggressive, a

socialite, likes Chihuahuas,

Starbucks, and is manipula-

tive. The same question

was asked of Mazzochi,

who notes that her team-

mate is similar to Ryan

Lochte because hes in

love with himself.Both teammates agree

that their ultimate goal is to

win the competition, with

Sweeny stating that he

would like to learn how to

effectively work together

throughout the process. The

teammates have decided

that one of the biggest chal-

lenges for them during the

competition will be the

issue of listening to oneanother.

Throughout the Q & A

session, Sweeny and

Mazzochi shared more

about their personal lives.

Sweeny is excited to travel

because it makes you

smarter, more cultured and

allows for an opportunity to

experience a different cul-

ture. Mazzochi responds to

the same question by saying

that she is excited to see dif-

ferent cultures and places,

and that she has never

before traveled outside of

the U.S.

Several other teams join

Mazzochi and Sweeny forthis season of the Amazing

Race. Some of the fellow

competitors include former

NFL teammates, a pair of

baseball wives, married ER

doctors, and best friends.

During this season, the

teams will travel throughout

four continents and nine

countries, covering more

than 35,000 miles of ground

in the process.

After winning three consecutive dis-trict 7 baseball championships theMt Olive 11U Travel Baseball team

notched 2 additional championships thissummer.

The Mt Olive Maurauders 11U won the2013 Memorial Day Baseball Tournamentwhich is hosted annually in Mt OliveTownship.The team finished the tournamentundefeated with an impressive 5-0 record.The wins included successive victories overLong Valley (10-1), Kinnelon(14-0),Montville (7-2),Chester (5-2)and endedwith a very exciting victory over runner-upMontville in the Championship game.

The tounament was held during theMemorial weekend and extended into thefirst week of June. Colder than normal tem-

peratures and heavy, frequent rain ham-pered play and caused many of the town-ships fields to flood. However,several vol-unteers from the MtOlive Baseball andSoftball Association worked tirelessly tomake the fields playable and keep thegames rolling along with only minor sched-ule changes.

During tournament play, the Maurauderoffense amassed a total of 53 runs whileholding their oponents to 13 runs beingscored against them. Mt Olive's offense alsopounded out an impressive 56 hits and lim-

ited the opposition to only 20. Leading the

Mt Olive offense was William Paoli with a.625 batting average (3 RBI),followed byBrett Ellis at .615 (3 RBI), Willie Schwarickat .533 (5 RBI), with Coner MacLachlan (7RBI), Tiki Khan (5 RBI), and MichaelCowen (2 RBI) all batting .500.

Strong pitching efforts by Nicky Ferrara(2-0), Coner MacLachlan (1-0), ThomasRomanelli (1-0),and John Kruesch limitedany challenges posed from the opposingteams by tossing a combined earned runaverage (ERA) of (.300) and held all teamsto a meager .192 batting average. In addi-tion,solid defensive play by Even Perrault,Jacob Sussman and Trevon Reid helpedkeep the Maurauders in each game.

Then after this very impressive feat itwas on to the 11U Bigs league and on

7/27/2013 the Mt Olive Maurauders 11UTravel team won the inaugural BigsSummer Championship held in ParamusNJ. The team finished with an overal 9 winshaving only one loss. The Maurauderssteam- rolled through the first playoff roundby defeating Fairfield 10-0 and won an exit-ing championship from host team Paramusby a 6-4 margin. Coner MacLachlan andNicky Ferrara combined to pitch the firstround shut out, followed by stellar pitchingperformances by Brett Ellis and ThomasRomenelli in the championship game. The

with a 2 run double against Paramus andJohn Kruesh going 3 for 4 in the final 2games. Spectacular defensive plays, includ-ing a sprawling catch by Trevon Reid and along accurate toss to home plate by EvanPerrault held the opposition to only a few

runs. Willie Schwarick was solid behind the

plate, with Tiki Khan and William Paolimaking key infield plays to help Mt Olivewin the championship.

Now it is on to Fall Travel Baseball forthe 11U Maurauders to attempt to bring stillanother championship back home to Mt
