Michael Lalama and Mairead Mitru areWalkaholics. On June 8th and 9th, the Flanders
teens and 11 friends are going to walk for a
cause at the American Cancer Society Relay for Life held at
Mt. Olive High School. Receiving donations for their
efforts, teams will take to the track, a member at a time. A
team member must always be on the track and the teams
will walk continuously from night into the next morning.
Lalama and Mitru are the co-captains of the Walkaholics.
It benefits many people, not only those who are suffer-
ing. [It also] celebrates the survivors. [It] brings everyone
together in a fun way for a good cause, said Lalama. This
is his first Relay for Life. Mitru has been doing it for years
with her mom.
Relay for Life is a global effort. According the Relay for
Life website, relays are held in over 20 different countries.
The event is about hope, celebration, and remembrance.
The opening lap is the survivors lap, where cancer sur-
vivors take to the track to celebrate their victory. When
night falls, the event takes on a theme of remembrance as
luminars, bearing the names of those who have affected by
the disease, light the track. Those who have been affected

The Mt Olive High
School Leo Club,
which is the youth
group under the banner of
the Mt Olive Lion's Club,recently helped to clean up,
paint and repair Camp
Marcella. Camp Marcella is
a camp for the visually
impaired youngster. It is
equipped with a specially
adapted pool for wheelchair
accessibility and provides a
camping experience for a
youngster that otherwise
would not had this opportu-
nity to experience nature in
its glory. The Lion's Club
has always contributed to
the camp's care and the Mt
Olive Lions Club annually
does the maintenance of the
craft building and all other
repairs and clean up that the
camp deems necessary. Last
year, the future Leo's Club
came to the Camp to volun-
teer their time. While they
were there, they not only
helped to restore the Craft
building after a winter
vacancy but decided to wel-
come last year campers by
decorating the entrance
door of the craft building
with the painted images of
the Leo's hand prints and
initials. This year the newly
formed Leo's Club, with
Carly Schaechter, President,
Brittany Miller, VP; Juliana
Crithary, Secretary and Jack
Greenbaum, Treasurer and
with the teacher advisor,
Erin Riley-Lepo,and the Mt
Olive Lions helped clean up
the disrepair of the winter at
the camp. The Mt Olive
Leo's Club decided that
their fundraising goals
would be to sponsor a visu-
ally impaired youngster to
the joy of a week long
camping experience at
Camp Marcella. This is
truly an example of our Mt
Olive youngsters at their
finest!

may be those who are fighting the fight,
those walking, or those who have lost the
battle.
Lalamas reasons for joining in the event
are that cancer has hit close to home. He
just lost his grandfather to lung cancer and
his grandmother has lymphoma. Mitru lost
her grandmother and others in her family to
the disease.
The teens noted that they are looking for-
ward to walking together with their friends
and the other teams, sharing a common
bond and raising money for a cause they
believe in.
If youd like to support Walkaholics, you
can go online to the Relay for Life website
at relayforlife.org, search for Mt. Olive,
look for Walkaholics, and make a donation
We're excited to be a part of this event.
We would like to thank everyone is advance
for their donations and support. We truly
appreciate it, said Mitru.

Maintaining a tight core is key to
fitness ability, stresses one local
fitness instructor, but having a
goal and going for it can lead to even
greater success.Carrie Oesmann, 52, of Budd Lake, is
encouraging members of the Mt. Olive
Recreation exercise program, to compete in
the New Jersey State Triathlon. The annual
event which attracts 2,500 participants is set
for July 20-21 at Mercer County Park in
Princeton Junction.
As a Pilates instructor with MO
Recreation for the past two years, Oesmann
is sharing her passion with others and moti-
vating them to work toward a goal. With the
flat terrain, the NJ State Triathlon is a goodentry level for participants who never com-
peted in a triathlon before.
Her first priority is to give participants
in our fitness program a goal, says
Oesmann. To have a goal and work out
towards that goal. You are racing against
yourself. One of the great things is you see
so many people doing this race; all types,
small, big, large, thin.
You absolutely can do this, says
Oesmann. If you go just once, youll see
you can do this. Itll give you confidence
that you can do this and be in the best phys-
ical shape.
Its a way to start off in doing this,
explains Oesmann. You can do one part.
Its a good entry level for this type of event.
It shows you its really not as daunting asyou think. It breaks it down into trainable
segments.
For the relay, individuals can run all
three events or sign up as a team of three.
The events are offered at different levels
and include a run, bike and swim portion.
Whole families can register with one com-
peting in the bike, one in the run, and one in
the swim.
As first time participants, Laura Hars of
Budd Lake, head instructor of the Mt. Olive
Exercise program, has registered as a teamwith her husband and son. Hars will run, her
husband, Pat, will bike and her son, Nick,
will swim.
Hars says Oesmanns effort is a good
way to encourage additional athletic pur-
suits beyond the classes - to push people to
a new level - for people to achieve a goal
and reach it. She supports her members to
sign up as a way to challenge themselves
and to do something different - the theory of
muscle confusion.
Oesmanns goal is to introduce them toa sport normally they would be daunted by
and show them how simple it is.
With Mt. Olive providing more fitness
events in its borders, Oesmann says she is
preparing local residents for more hilly ter-
rain, like the upcoming Tour de Mt. Olive
bike event, scheduled for Sunday, Sept. 22,
at Flanders Park. The bike event willinclude a 26 mile recreational ride, a 5- mile
family ride and a Bike Safety rodeo.
The NJ triathlon is on all flat ground,
says Oesmann, and its an easier swim,
clean lake with no waves. This is a very
good race to start out. Its challenging but
its manageable. The Mt. Olive route is
too hard for beginners.

Afifth grade boy at Tinc Road School in Flanders ismaking sure students and teachers at his schoolknow all about autism.
Stephen Goodyear, 11, helped create a bulletin board
about autism, sold cookies, read stories about autism toclassrooms and organized a dress down day for teachers toraise money for Autism NJ. April was Autism AwarenessMonth.
Diagnosed with Asperger's Syndrome when he was twoyears old, Stephen works with Autism NJ to help spread theword to his community and school about the disease. Hisleadership and motivation in getting the word out has beeninspiring.
"He is 'one-of-a-kind' with wanting others to learn aboutautism," says Lisa Barba, Elementary Guidance Counselorat Tinc Road School. Stephen has been proactive about get-ting the word out about autism for the past two years.
"He approaches me," says Barba. "He wanted to raiseawareness. He starts off in September asking me what we'redoing for events so he keeps me on my toes."
Tinc Road School is not alone is trying to raise aware-ness about autism, says Barba. According to recent statisticsby Autism NJ, one in 49 children in NJ has a form ofautism. Students with a more severe form of autism areplaced in separate classrooms, while those with milderforms are mixed in with other students, such as Stephen'scase.
With Asperger's syndrome, Stephen "Tends to be morehigh functioning," explains Colleen Goodyear, Stephen'smom. He has a "higher level of cognitive ability," sheexplains. As a baby, Stephen had a speech delay. At the age
of two and a half, he was diagnosed by a neurological doc-tor that he had Asperger's.
Having Asperger's "sometimes can hinder social situa-tions," says Goodyear. Stephen "has some anxiety oversome situations. He's really come a long way. He's fullymainstream in the school system. He's worked really hard atit."
Last year, Stephen got involved with Autism NJ andbecame a junior ambassador. The advocacy group helps tospread autism awareness.
"He's not ashamed," says Goodyear. "He's very proactivewhich is good because he's being a good role model for oth-ers who may be too shy."
In February, Stephen helped Barba get packets togetherfor all the teachers at Tinc Road School to hand out to theirstudents about autism. The packets - which were given tothe teachers in March-, included coloring activities, cross-word puzzles, booklets about autism, and lesson plans toteachers.
Throughout the month of April, fifth graders read on theloudspeaker daily quotes on facts about autism duringmorning announcements.
Stephen also helped Barba create the bulletin board inthe hallway that features facts about autism, tips on how tointeract with kids who have autism, propaganda posters thatsay things like 'always unique,' 'totally interesting,' 'some-times mysterious,' describes Stephen.
With the help from his mother and grandmother, Stephenbaked a few dozen puzzle-piece cookies and sold them atthe 5th grade Bake Sale during the Variety Show on Sunday,April 7. He raised $58 for Autism NJ through his cookiesale.
The meaning behind the puzzle piece, represents themissing link as to the cause of autism, explains Goodyear.
On Friday, April 26, Goodyear sent in puzzle-pieceautism stickers for students and made puzzle-piece ribbon
pins for staff members to purchase and wear on dress-downday. To participate, teachers had to pay $5 to wear jeans thatday. This event raised $275 for Autism NJ.
On that day, Stephen read a book about autism to firstand third grade classes. "He went into the classrooms toshare that he has a form of autism," says Barba.
After school that day, Goodyear took Stephen to Rita'sand they ran into a first grader he had read to that day. She
overheard the boy say to his mom, "Mom, Stephen taught
Samantha Miller (Stephen's Kindergarten and 1st grade teacher).
Stephen read to Mrs. Miller's class.

The flagpole on the front lawn of the
Morris County Courthouse on
Washington Street in Morristown
will be painted this weekend and will need
approximately two weeks to cure. As a
result, Morris County officials want the
public to know that flags will not be flying
from the flagpole during that time.
In the interim, however, an American
flag will be placed outside of the front
entrance to the courthouse during regular
business hours.
Flags will again be flown as soon as the
flagpole is able to accept them.

For the NJ State Triathlon, you can
walk the run; you can take a break on the
bike if you want to; you can do any stroke
in the swim, says Oesmann. The only
thing they dont let you do is use floaties.
Oesmann and her husband, John, have
been competing in the NJ State Triathlon for
the past five years and will compete individ-
ually this year.
Its good for husbands and wives cause
it makes you train, says Oesmann. I love
that John and I train together and push each
other. This is my once-a year goal, adding
that she has lost 30 pounds since participat-
ing annually since 2009.
We train all year, says Oesmann who
works full time as an interior designer. Wework out, do cardio at the gym, running and
elliptical. For the run portion, the first two
years, I beat John; last three, he beat me. I
beat him in the swim all four years but he
beats me in the bike. Jack back strokes the
whole way.
This year, their two daughters, Jackie
and Kelsey, will also compete.
Oesmann is having her group register for
the Sprint (level 1) contest which includes a
5K Run; 12-mile bike race; and 1/3 mile
swim. Her husband, meanwhile, is regis-
tered for the Olympic level which includes
a 10-K Run; 24-mile bike; and mile
swim.
Besides the fitness challenge, Oesmann
competes in the triathlon to raise funds forthe Hydrocephalus Foundation, an organi-
zation which supports those suffering from
Hydrocephalus, or water on the brain.
Oesmanns brother-in-law, John McNulty
of Princeton- a former marathon runner- has
suffered from this disease for about seven
years.
As her fundraiser through the triathlon
for the past two years, Oesmann has raised
$8,000 for this foundation.
Her cause supports the name of her
triathlon team: Team Brainy-macs.Oesmann is looking for more partici-
pants to register for the triathlon. Contact
Oesmann at [email protected].
Participants must be 16 or older.
She will also provide tips and give out
links on proper training techniques.
Start slow, says Oesmann. Start on a
training program that makes sense. Its
about taking your time and slowly building
your fitness level up. Its a process to learn
how to build your fitness level.

Goodyear said to Stephen after that inci-dent, "Now these kids look up to you." Thestudents even sent Stephen thank-you notes"saying they learned things they didn'tknow." Stephen says he feels he is making adifference.
"I feel great- because I have autismdoing this really helps me get the message
out to people and to better understood," saysStephen. "Sometimes I wish that they wouldat least understand a little bit; understand ofwhat I have and that I should not be definedby it."

One of the things we have endeav-
ored to improve through my admin-
istration is communication between
the municipal government and the town-
ships residents. To that end, we have uti-lized, Facebook (Mayor Rob Greenbaum
Page), the township website
(Mountolivetwp.com), newspapers, local
radio (WRNJ 104.6 FM), electronic mes-
sage boards and our Everbridge reverse 911
system.
Often times, the communications relate
to upcoming recreation events or other serv-
ices being offered by the Town. However,
the increased communication effort has
really proven its value during health and
safety emergencies.
During Hurricane Sandy, the increased
communication effort was invaluable in
keeping everyone informed as to power
restoration progress, services being offered
by the Town and generally allowed all of usto communicate with each other despite
having no power. During the incidents
which occurred in Town involving loss of
life, our communication demonstrated the
strong sense of community that we all have
here in Mount Olive. It also allowed the
community to grieve together and to pro-
vide comfort to the families.
Recently, our ability to instantly alert the
community about a police investigation into
a child luring allegation demonstrated how
effective real time communication can be.
From the Mayors Desk
Within a short time frame,
my Facebook post reached
over 39,000 people who
were alerted to a potential
safety issue , were able toreact and provide informa-
tion which may have been
valuable to the police in
their investigation.
We will continue to
improve what we do to keep
you informed. In the mean-
time, you can help us
accomplish our goal of
improving communication
by signing up forEverbridge notifications on
the Township website.
Sincerely,
Rob Greenbaum

can be accomplished as long
as people are willing to
communicate and respect
one another.
John was one of the
moving forces behind the
procuring the monument
which is located at St.
Judes Catholic Church, (
Dedicated to the Unborn).My two top priorities for
the Township of Mount
Olive and her people share
an equal importance. I feel
it is imperative that we pro-
vide a receptive and respect-
fully responsible govern-
ment that diligently seeks to
identify the immediate and
future needs of our residents
and local businesses. In
order to accomplish a suc-cessful outcome, I feel we,
as representatives of the
people must commit the
time and energy to study the
various diversities and
dynamics that make up our
community to render more
effective decisions on their
behalf. The government
should work for the people
and not the other way
around.Secondly, I am commit-
ted to do everything in my
power to help our local
businesses survive this eco-
nomic slump. Businesses,
large and small are an inte-gral asset not only to our tax
base but to out schools and
community at

ple as much as people need
businesses.

Tragically in 2012 there were 126
Police Officers killed in the line of
duty in the United States. The loss
of these officers is overwhelming to their
family, friends and fellow officers. The
National Law Enforcement Officers
Memorialin Washington, D.C. allows for
their memories to live on and honors these
men and women forever.
The Police Unity Tour, which was found-
ed in 1997, is a bicycle ride made by police
officers that will begin this year in East
Hanover, New Jersey. After a brief memo-
rial service, we will begin to head south to
Washington D.C., ending our journey at the
National Law Enforcement Officers
Memorial. This bicycle ride is over 300
miles in length and is proudly made bymore than 1400 officers from around the
nation each year to remember the service
and sacrifices of those courageous officers
who were killed in the line of duty. During
the four day ride the Police Unity Tour
makes a number of stops at locations where
officers have been killed. Brief Memorial
Services are held for the officers families,
friends and co-workers. The families of the
fallen officers are typically in awe, seeing
so many Police Officers on bicycles stop-
ping to honor their loved ones. Its an emo-
tional experience most will never forget.
This year, Mount Olive Township
Officers John Glinko, Carl Mase, Chad
Rossy and George Jadue will participate in
the tour. This event is an effort to raise
awareness and financial support for the
National Law Enforcement OfficersMemorial in Washington D.C. and each
Police Unity Tour 2013 Team Mt. Olivededicated officer is required to raise a mini-
mum of $1,750 to participate in the tour.
As representatives of the Mount Olive
Township Police Department, we are proud
of our commitment to our fallen brothers
and sisters and their families. You too can
be proud knowing that you are contributing
to this worthy cause. Your support will help
us honor these fallen officers and fund vital
officer safety programs, which help prevent
senseless deaths and needless injury. Please
lend a hand and help us help the loved ones
of those who have fallen in the line of duty
protecting and serving all of us in commu-
nities across the nation.
Thank you for your continued support to
our organization over the years,

Richard Fabio of Flanders can fix just about any-thing.even your golf game.
Whether he is landscaping a yard, tiling a floor, paintinga house, building furniture, or giving golf lessons, Fabio pro-vides high quality service through his landscaping andwoodworking business- Premier Design Group in Flanders as well as his golf business- Richard Fabio Golf Lessons.
Established six years ago, Premier Design Group inFlanders provides homeowners with a laundry list of servic-es with top quality custom work and design.
We do just about everything, says Fabio, president ofPremier Design Group. Some of the services include plant-ing, mulching, landscaping, lawn care, ponds, waterfalls,pools, paver patios and walls, electrical, plumbing, land-scape lighting, bookcases and moldings, power washing,handyman work, painting, heat and air condition, furniture
construction and repairs, and even flooring from tile, woodor carpet.
Through a computerized landscape design system, Fabioallows customers to see the design of their landscape beforeany work has begun.
Fabio takes a picture with the computer, uploads theimage on the screen, then uses computer graphics to create adesign that the customer is looking for. He can add lights ifcustomer wants lights, trees, rock wall, and more.
As far as other landscapers, there are not many aroundhere that do that, says Fabio. You got to be savvy workingwith the computer and the computer program is expensive.
The value for me to the customer is they really get to seewhat the project is going to look like, says Fabio. It shows
property before and it turns into the after. It takes a couple ofhours to get that part done.
As far as woodworking, Fabio provides services fromfurniture to the inside of the house whether it involves book-shelves, molding, couch repairs, refinishing tables, desks,cabinets.
Ive been doing that pretty much my whole life, Fabiosays. When I was younger, I built stores for people, suchas the shelves, cabinets, dressing rooms, desk for check-outcounter for various stores such as video stores or dressshops.
Fabio says he was 15 when he started woodworking. At astudent at Union High School, Fabio took shop classes andwon state awards for his work. Fabio recalls building a chessset, lamp and table.
I used to get taken out of class to build things for the
school, says Fabio. I didnt need plans to build things. Ijust kind of envisioned it.
Fabios landscaping/woodworking business began afterone of my neighbors said your lawn looks so good wouldyou mind taking care of mine; I fired four landscapers inthree years, he explains. From there, Fabio performed othertasks such as building them a pool, painting, fixing garagedoors, putting up a fence and building a swing set.
Five admiring neighbors in a row then followed in pur-suit, calling Fabio for services.
I look it up; I try to find the right way to do things, saysFabio. My patios dont fall over; my walls dont fall over.We do a lot of repairs because people do it wrong. Then I doit the right way and I dont lose them. Knowledge is key, getit wherever you can, but you got to get it.

Fabio has built a great reputation for himself over theyears by providing a wide variety of services to homeown-ers.
I do everything from their landscaping to all their home
repairs, he says, for some of his customers. The nice thingis you call one person. One local customer sent him to theirbeach house in south Jersey to make repairs there too.
My plan is to do the best quality work that we can do,says Fabio. Its not because Im the cheapest guy; the jobgets done right. We dont cut grass when its wet. I wouldntdo something to someone elses house that I would do to myown. Im meticulous with the grass.
Jackie and Nate Richardson of Flanders say, Rich is verydetailed in his work. He always makes sure the job is up tothe highest quality standards. Premier Design has completedmany projects for us, including, landscaping, pavers, interi-or work, and our swimming pool and pool house.
Elaine and Steve Noonan Long Valley say, With Richwe always have great results and the place looks tremen-dous. Rich is honest with his clients and demanding of histeam - the results of which are a great looking yard. Aftereight years we still say "Wow" every time we come homeafter his team has been to our place. Great guy and verytrustworthy.
Mike and Terri Shea of Flanders say, Rick's work is thehighest quality, he makes sure that every project is done theright way. We have asked Rick to do a variety of work; allof it has been outstanding. He has turned our steep, back-yard jungle into an outdoor oasis with a pool, patio, shed,
beautiful walls and a fire pit. His original designs make
everything exceed your expectations. Every time we stepoutside, we are reminded of his skill and expertise. Evenwith all the challenges the project presented, Rick was won-derful. He coordinated with the other professionals and theproject just moved along. To us, it was painless, spectacular
and beyond expectations!We have called Rick in an emergency on Christmas Eve
day (no hot water) and he was immediately willing and ableto help, continues the Sheas. We had hot water forChristmas! Rick is always prompt and available. I could notask for a more professional service provider. He takes thetime to explain how something should be done so you under-stand the level of professionalism he brings to any project.
Rick's attention to detail, professionalism and skillsalone make him a terrific choice, they say. When you addhis design capabilities and his ability to listen and incorpo-rate all you have said to him to create something even betterthan you imagined, it makes him a true craftsman. Rick isour first call for any project.
In Fabios other career, he works as a golf instructor atThe Architects Golf Club in Phillipsburg, and The Golf Zonein Flanders, where he worked as a manager 10 years ago.
The son of golf pro Joe Fabio, Fabio says I learned howto teach golf at a very young age, when at the age of sevenhe would watch his dad give his brother golf lessons. He hasbeen teaching golf for 20 years, from junior to adults, bothprivate and group lessons.
I give them the right routines and they get better, saysFabio. I teach the way I was taught.
Go to Richard Fabio golf lessons on facebook for a sam-
ple of Fabios golf lessons.
Richard Fabio is an amazing instructor who I haveworked with for over ten years, says Mick Gyure, author ofEveryday Golfer's Guide to Shooting Lower Scores."
He has helped me reduce my golf scores from over 100to breaking 80 and is continually helping me improve myswing and my game, Gyure says.
Like his father who worked three jobs, Fabio would notchange a thing.
Sometimes I change my clothes several times a day saysFabio, switching from landscaping, to golf lessons, thenwoodworking, then back to golf lessons daily. Its an inter-esting day; it beats sitting at a desk.
Call Fabio for free estimates at 973-713-5011.We are very fair and we do high quality work, he con-
cludes. I only want to do top quality work. The job is going
to get done right.

More than five weeks after surviving the BostonMarathon, two local runners who were caughtbetween the two bombs reflect on the lucky
choices they made that day that could have changed their
lives forever.Andrew and Carmin Mangone, a married couple of
Flanders, were runners at the Boston Marathon on Monday,April 15, witnessing the explosions of the two bombs,escaping injury during a time of chaos and uncertainty. Stillnumb by their life-threatening encounter, the Mangones aregrateful by some of their decisions.
Running side by side, leaving loved ones at home, delayslike stopping for bathroom breaks and talking to a friend,running at pace, giving money to a homeless woman, andeven being nuisanced by Hurricane Sandy all could havechanged the outcome on that day for the Mangones.
"So many things were in our favor that day," saysAndrew Mangone, 41. "We were pretty lucky, blessed orsomeone was watching over us that day.
"Never in my wildest dreams would I think I would beseconds away from achieving my running goal and smackdab in the middle of a senseless act of terror," he says."Whether we were lucky or blessed, I am so grateful thatCarmin was by my side. For me, those 12 seconds that dayreally put a new perspective on life and how it could changein an instant. My thoughts and prayers go out to the victimsand families that weren't as lucky as my wife and I."
The Mangones were among the more than 23,000 run-ners that started the 117th Boston Marathon last month on
Patriot's Day, and were among the 5,700 that did not get tothe finish line because of the horrific attack in which threwere killed and many severely injured.
The world's oldest annual marathon, Carmin calls it "theSuperbowl of marathons," the "most prestigious" and"cream of the crop" out of the five major marathons in theworld. Also, not easy to get into, Carmin was able to regis-ter her and Andrew in Dec. 2012 through her companyNestle Nutrition in Florham Park, sponsors of the race andproviders of Power Bar and gels to all runners.
Despite the hills they had to run over, the Mangones didnot face too many challenges with this marathon, which
was going quite smoothly for the pair who had trained for17 weeks.With her greatest concern being the weather, Carmin
who wore long sleeves says "It was a tad warmer than Iexpected, but it was perfect. You couldn't complain. Themood, the atmosphere- everyone was in good spirits."
Andrew actually described it as "my perfect race. Forme I felt good, ran the entire time. The weather was great.The people were great in the town." Running by the BostonCollege area, "it was extremely loud. It's nice having some-one help you get through and cheer you on. They come outin droves and cheer you on. It really motivates you to keepgoing. You get chills as you are running there."
Physically, Andrew could not have paced himself anybetter. "I couldn't have asked for a better run physically. Iwas right on pace for a four hour marathon. It was comingright down to the wire."
Andrew has not been so lucky in previous marathons.When he ran the NY Marathon in 2010 he experiencedcramping from dehydration; the night before the BostonMarathon in 2012 the heat reached 90 degrees so Andrewdeferred; he was registered for the 2012 NY Marathon,which was cancelled from Hurricane Sandy.
Luck was now on Andrew's side. "I couldn't have scripta better run for me," he says. While he could have complet-
ed this race on time, this was one marathon that Andrew
was lucky that he did not finish.Running down Boylston Street, just crossing through the
intersection at Exeter Street, the Mangones were at mile26.15 miles- about ten to 15 seconds away and could see thefinish line, when the first bomb went off.
"We were running as fast as we could at that time,"Andrew recalls. "We could have cruised down to the finishto enjoy the atmosphere. We were trying so hard to make acertain time" of four hours. "We were 250 feet away, 85yards," when they heard the first bomb.
"At first I thought it was a cannon," says Andrew. "Itsounded like a celebratory cannon like at a football game. Ilooked up and noticed a puffy white smoke. It was a bigcloud, explosion, debris in the air." His next thought was "itwas the building had blown up or something malfunctioned.I was not thinking someone planted a bomb."
Carmin, 40, says, "When I saw the first one, saw thesmoke and the debris, I thought it was the building.Andrew's first thought is we could finish. I was thinking thebuilding is going to collapse. My mind plays tricks on meon how close we really were."
"It wasn't until the second bomb went off (12 secondslater) that you knew it wasn't malfunctioned," says Andrew."We stopped our sprint. My first thoughts were where is thenext one going to go off. My first instinct was to keepgoing. I was thinking we could keep going. There was noplace to go - everyone was coming at us."
Carmin says, after the second one went off, 'we knew itwasn't coincidence; it wasn't a canyon." They were a blockaway from the second bomb.
Amongst the confusion, mayhem, uncertainty and fear,"people don't know where to go what to do," says Carmin.She "pushed the barricade down," by Exeter Street and thetwo of them walked around the streets to the other side ofthe finish line.
"I remember seeing a little girl probably Alexa's age andhow scared she was," says Carmin. As the mother of twodaughters, Carmin says "I just thought right away thankGod the girls weren't there. Imagine if they were there, Iwould've been beside myself."
Because the marathon was on a Monday, unlike mostother marathons that are on Sunday, the Mangones decided
to leave their girls in school that day.As they walked, they found someone with a cell phoneand were able to call home to let family know they were ok.
On the other side of the finish line, the Mangonesdescribed the scene as eerie and deserted.
"The place was a ghost town," says Carmin. "We neededheat wraps and drinks," was Andrew's thought. Carminrecalls feeling "numb" and "cold."
Scattered vendors who were packing up to leave werestill there handing out snack packs, drinks, heat wraps andmedals. They gave us our medals," says Carmin. "It waseerily quiet."
Andrew describes, "We were the only runners in thisarea. It was really a strange feeling, an alley that shouldhave been filled with runners, volunteers, celebrating theaccomplishment of finishing. There should have been highfives, cheers, tears of joy. There was none of that. Therewere two of us in this alley."
Carmin says, "We kept walking to get our stuff. It was sosurreal. People had no idea which way to walk. All youthought about was when is the next one, where is the nextone?"
They were also lucky to be one of the first ones to get onthe bus to get their belongings.
"We found the bus that had our stuff," says Andrew.
"That was the best thing that could happen." With height-
ened security, the busses were shut down shortly thereafterprohibiting anyone else to get their belongings.
Inside their bags were their cell phones and they wereable to make additional calls to loved ones and friends, andget their hotel key. While their hotel was nearby, it tookthem two hours to get there." For them the race ended at2:50 p.m.; they got to their hotel at 5 p.m.
"It was a matter of where do we go, what do we do?"describes Carmin. "The hotel was behind the second bomb."The quickest way was to walk through the bombs again,but we ended up walking around, to text, stretch. Theystopped at a nearby mall but "everything was shuttingdown."
Grateful that their hotel did not close down like someothers, the Mangones were amongst a crowd of shockedrunners and their families.
"It looked like a makeshift shelter," says Carmin. "Likea shelter for runners," agrees Andrew. The couple sat at thebar there for some beers and watched the televisions tolearn more about what had transpired. More than one monthlater, the couple reflects on how lucky they were that day.
They had run two other full marathons together, the NewYork Marathon in 2011 and the Chicago one in 2006, butthis was the first one that they ran side by side for most ofthe 26.2 miles, a hard task to come by with a crowd of run-
ners, different paces, bodily cramping and even bathroombreaks.
"We lost each other twice," admits Carmin, when shestopped to use the porter potty once, "then caught up to him.The majority of the time, we were together side by side orwe could see each other." Unlike in other marathons, "we'venever been together at mile 22. Got to 23, 24, 25 and we'restill together doing a nine minute mile."
Carmin recalls, "At mile 25 as we got into the city, I waslooking at my watch. I knew it was going to be really close.I was trying to motivate him and motivate myself so wecould finish under the four mile mark. The fact that Andrew

Andrew says "it's hard to do. It's inevitable that one per-
son is going to feel weaker. It was exciting coming throughthat home stretch together."
After coming to terms that they weren't going to finishthe marathon together, they were grateful to be togetherrather than trying to find each other amongst the havocwhen the bombs went off.
They were also grateful that they did not push them-selves to run any faster or even any slower or they couldhave been at the finish line when the bomb went off, orcloser to the second bomb.
Giving money to a homeless woman the morning of therace was good karma for Andrew.
"I always bring money with me on these runs," saysAndrew. "I put another $10 in my bag that morning. Insidea mall drinking coffee that morning, "I see that lady" withbags beside her, and thinks 'maybe I should give her some-thing.' Instead he passes her by and he and Carmin maketheir way to the train to get to the bus. Realizing how earlythey were to the train, Andrew decides to run back to givethe lady $10. I said "I think you could use it more than I can.I felt great after that."
The past few weeks have been difficult for theMangones still trying to process the horrific event they wit-nessed.
"I still think I'm going to wake up and it's going to be a
dream," says Carmin. "Everyday I still think about it, espe-cially when I'm alone in the car. It's hard not to think about
it. I get emotional of what could have been."Andrew says "I can't believe how close we were to it. It
doesn't seem real."Rather than wasting their time thinking about the two
brothers who set off the bombs that day, the Mangones
think about the brave medical technicians who instead ofhelping with dehydration were dealing with injured run-ners; participants "taking off their shirts to tie tourniquetsaround legs."
Andrew says "My thoughts go out to all those peoplewho won't have a chance to run another marathon becauseof these guys. It's unfortunate the world we live in today.You can't go out and celebrate the accomplishment of run-ning."
Neither were concerned that their lives would be at stakethat day. They were more concerned about the weather orhad 'butterflies" on how their bodies would perform.
When bad things happen "You get this feeling it's notgoing to happen to me," says Andrew. As witnesses and sur-vivors of that terror that day, the Mangones have new fears.
"Maybe I will be more alert but I will not stop runningmarathons," says Andrew, who plans to return to the BostonMarathon next year. "It could happen anywhere, that's whatthis showed me. I'm not going to stop doing things. I hopethere are more good people than bad people out there."
Carmin says "I will definitely do another one; unfortu-nately it will be a different experience. Boston will still bein the back of my head. There will be some trepidation.
A week after the Boston Marathon, Andrew ran in the10K marathon in Mt. Olive and wore a shirt that says
"Today I Run for Boston," meaning "Boston, they allowedme to run; the Saturday it was my turn to run for them."
He keeps a photo of the bombing aftermath on his cellphone "to remind me there's a lot more to life than littleissues. My dad always says 'don't sweat the small stuff, it'sall small stuff. If I have a dandelion in my yard, I don't careabout it. If I don't have a shutter on my window, I don't care
about it.""Finishing the race, that's furthest from my mind now,"
says Andrew. "I started thinking about the victims and thefamilies. I'll be able to run another one. In my mind, I fin-ished the race. The 12 seconds (of not finishing) does notdepict the 3 hours 53 minutes that happened beforehand."
Carmin thinks about the photo she took after dinner withAndrew the night before the marathon. He took a picture ofher running toward the finish line and thinking "in less than24 hours we will be done." She admits she is upset that shedidn't get to finish her race but at the same time thinks how"selfish of me," thinking of those who were injured. "That'spart of the process," she says.
She still thinks about the "what ifs." Carmin was sup-posed to run in the NY Marathon that was cancelled fromHurricane Sandy.
"I was never planning on doing Boston, only until NYgot cancelled," says Carmin. If it was not cancelled, shewould have run NY, would not have run in Boston, andinstead would have been a spectator.
"I probably would have been there to cheer him on closeto the finish line as a spectator," says Carmin. "If it weren'tfor Sandy, there is a very good chance I would've beenthere, and I wasn't happy with Sandy. Andrew was travelingthe first week after the storm leaving Carmin to run her
household with two girls and no electricity, heat or water.She never thought she would be so thankful for Hurricane

The bathroom near the baseball and
football fields at Turkey Brook Park
is getting a facelift and will be nice
and tidy this season.Storm Shawl of Flanders, owner of
Storm's Home Improvement Do It One Do
It Right, has volunteered more than two
weeks of his time to renovate the three-story
"Water Tower" at Turkey Brook Park in
Budd Lake. The 10-year old tower was in
need of washing, painting and new siding.
As a local business owner and resident,
Shawl says he wanted to do his part in help-
ing to keep Mt. Olive looking its best.
"I just wanted to give a little back to the
town, "says Shawl, "to do my part, to spruce
up the town. If everybody did a little bit; it's
a nice town."
Shawl had been approached by the town-
ship and was asked it he would sponsor the
renovation of the Turkey Brook Water
Tower in exchange for signage to advertise
his business. Shawl jumped at the opportu-
nity.
"They just wanted to spruce it up and
clean it up," he says.
With the help of a few others, Shawl has
spent more than two weeks renovating,
power washing, painting the exterior, and
sanding, priming and replacing cedar siding
of the three-story octagon shaped structure.
"It was a lot of work," says Shawl. "It
was beyond neglect. It looked like it hadn't
been touched in 10 years by the way it
looked."Some of the siding on the structure had
been broken from kids throwing baseballs
and hitting the building, he says.
Although Shawl spent a great deal of
time on the job, he says it did not cost him
too much.
Lowes donated $150 in material for
cleaning and brushes; Mt. Olive Township
bought the paint; Blue Ridge Lumber in
Hackettstown donated 80 feet of siding.
"I went to the manager and explained
what I'm doing," says Shawl. There was nohesitation to help.
The bathrooms had remained opened
during the renovation work, says Shawl,
who began his home improvement business
in Jan. 2011.
Through Storm's Home Improvement,
Storm provides all aspects of home
improvement- such as building, repairing
and renovating bathrooms, kitchens, base-
ments, decks, swing sets, gazebos, garages,
and tile and hardwood floors.
Storm received his skills through a four-
Local Contractor Does It Right At Turkey Brook Parkyear apprenticeship program with the
Apprenticeship for NJ Carpenters, earning
his degree in 2003.
"It's something I've always been interest-
ed in," says Shawl, whose father worked as
an iron worker building steel bridges.
For more information or free estimates,
call Storm at 973-713-8604. He is fully
insured.

Spring is in the air or, at the very
least, its on the calendar this week.
And if youre like many people, you
may be looking forwar to doing some spring
cleaning around your house and yard. But
this year, why not go beyond your physicalenvironment and do some sprucing up of
your financial situation?
Here are a few possibilities to consider:
Clean your portfolio of clutter. When
you go through your house, you may find
some clutter in closets, storage areas, on top
of desks, under beds or just about any other
place. Your investment portfolio also may
contain clutter, in the form of investments
that no longer meet your needs.
Consequently, its a good idea to de-clut-
ter your portfolio periodically by selling
those extraneous investments and using theproceeds to help purchase others that may
be more effective in helping you make
progress toward your financial goals.
Consolidate your investments in one
place. As you clean your house, you may
find that you have many common items,
such as brooms, hammers, duct tape and so
Get Ready for Some (Financial) Spring Cleaningon, scattered among various rooms. It might
be more efficient to keep all such objects in
one central location; this can help prevent
you from needlessly replacing or duplicat-
ing them. As an investor, you may have an
IRA with one financial services provider, anold 401(k) with a different one, and some
other investments with yet another institu-
tion. If you consolidated all these invest-
ment vehicles with one provider, you might
be able to save some fees and expenses.
Perhaps even more importantly, by uniting
all your investments in one place, you may
find it easier to follow a central, unified
investment strategy.
Check for gaps in your financial
strategy. Every spring, its a good idea to
check your gutters for leaks, your sidewalks
for cracks and your paint for chips. By
doing so, youll help protect your home and
surroundings. To help protect your familys
future, its important to have adequate life
and disability insurance.
Plant seeds for growth. When spring
arrives, its time to plant the seeds for your
flowers and vegetables. As an investor, you
also have to be concerned about growth.
Specifically, youll want to consider invest-
ments that have the potential to grow
enough to help provide the financial
resources to meet your long-term goals,
such as a comfortable retirement.
Consequently, you should review your port-
folio to determine if it contains an appropri-
ate amount of growth-oriented vehicles for
your individual objectives, time horizon and
risk tolerance. Seek professional assistance. When
youre tidying up for spring, you may find
some jobs that you cant do alone, such as
cleaning a heavily stained carpet, unclog-
ging a blocked drain or trimming the high-
est branches on a tree. For these tasks, you
might need to call in trained professionals.
Its the same with investing: You can do
some things on your own, but for complex
tasks such as creating and maintaining an
appropriate investment strategy, you may
need to work with a financial professional.
Consider putting these spring-cleaning
tips to work soon. They may just help put
some sparkle and shine into your financial
house.

Meet The Morris County Clerk Candidates
Iknow what it takes to
operate the Morris
County Clerks Office
and no other candidate has
my work experience or cre-dentials. That is why twenty-
four Republican Mayors
have endorsed me and I have
earned the support of
Congressman Rodney
Frelinghuysen, Senators
Joseph Pennacchio and
Leanna Brown, former
County Clerk Joseph Bell
and County Surrogate John
Pecoraro.
As a practicing attorneyand small business owner, I
regularly use the Clerks
office.
As a Freeholder, I oversee
the operations of the countys
more than 311 million dollar
budget, including the Clerks
office. I have delivered a 0%
flat tax for 2013. Prior to the
Governors 2% CAP, I
capped municipal spending
to the rate of inflation!
As a Parsippany Council
President and Vice President,
I reduced spending, generat-
ed millions of dollars in rev-
enue, wrote ordinances, testi-
fied in Trenton, and spon-
sored the 911 memorial. AsChief of Enforcement over
statewide operations, I com-
manded a staff of more than
100 public employees with
five statewide regional and
three satellite offices.
I will make the Clerks
office the most efficient and
technologically advanced
office in the State and protect
your interests. I ask for your
support again on June 4th.
