With Winter Settling, Tips Prepare For Any Storm
By Henry M. Holden n recent years, some of the most damaging storms strike long before the first day of winter. Think Hurricane Sandy in October 2012. And the crippling snowstorms in the waning days of winter such as March 12-14, 1993 when a Category five snowstorm which was dubbed the “Storm of the Century. Snow blanketed more than half of New Jersey, with 20 to 30 inches in the far northern sections of the state. The National Weather Service reported the January 2016 blizzard dumped 33 inches in Morris Plains. Whether it’s a snowstorm or a hurricane, being prepared to deal with the storm safely both before, during and its aftermath is strongly suggested. While the kids may love having a day or more off from school, for adults winter weather means a sometimes-cha-
otic commute to or from work, or the stress of preparing for the storm. The Morris County Office of Emergency Management (OEM) has put together a preparedness list of winter weather tips. Before the storm hits, prepare the home. Create a checklist. Include flashlights, fresh batteries, a first aid kit, enough prescription medications to last a week, food that doesn’t need heating, a battery-operated radio, and cellphones with extra chargers. In addition to medication, have a supply of one gallon of water, per person, for a maximum of three days. Don’t forget the fourlegged family members. Make sure they have four or five days of food and water. OEM Director Jeff Paul said when temperatures go becontinued on page 2

Prepare For Any Storm...
continued from front page low freezing, 32 degrees, snow and ice are a real possibility. One of the most important things to do especially for the elderly and those with health issues is to stay inside. This includes pets. Paul says to avoid charcoal-burning devices, kerosene and other space heaters. These devices produce carbon monoxide, a silent killer that can happen without any obvious symptoms. For those using these heaters, make sure to have carbon monoxide alarms installed in the home; one near the furnace, one near the bedrooms and one in the rooms with a space heater. Replace the batteries in them at least once a year. Pick the same day every year, say Halloween. Stay warm by wearing layers of loose-fitting, lightweight, warm clothes. If a power outage lasts overnight or into the later hours, use extra blankets and close all doors to seal the heat into one area of the home. Prevent freezing pipes. Freezing temperatures can cause major issues to the pipes in a home. Keep cabinet doors open to allow heat to get to uninsulated pipes under sinks and appliances on exterior walls. Everyone in the household should know how to shut off the water valves; if a pipe does burst, this could save a lot of money in the long run. Any outside faucets should have an inside drain function to drain the water from the pipe. If not, buy a faucet bonnet which will cover the faucet and insulate it.
Prepare the vehicle. Having a prepared vehicle for the winter months is as important as home preparation. In the event of becoming stuck in a blizzard or white out conditions, or stranded on a back road, there are things that can be done. Pack a bag to keep in the trunk with warm clothes. In addition to clothes, keep the gas tank as close to full as possible, will keep the fuel line from freezing. If stranded and must sit out the storm, carry two empty coffee cans, several candles, and a blanket. The lighted candles placed in the coffee cans will keep the inside air temperature just above freezing. Wrap up in a blanket and stay with the vehicle. One could easily get disoriented in the storm and wind up freezing to death. There will be road crews out even before the snows stop. Paul’s team also suggests taking the car for a full inspection. For example, have the tires checked. If tire treads are slowly wearing away, paying the price for new tires will be better than replacing a vehicle after an accident. Common replacements before winter should include windshield wipers, oil, fluids and air filters. Keep a shovel, snow melt and an ice scraper in the vehicle as ice can be unpredictable. Keep a bag of kitty litter in the trunk for traction; sprinkling it underneath the tires can make them stop spinning. Blackouts and brownouts. Partial or full power outages during major storm events are expected.
The blizzard of January 20, 2005, was a three-day storm that affected large areas of New Jersey. Much of the snow was cleared from the roads by the evening of January 24, leaving dangerous snow piles on roadways and corners 10 feet high in some places. Photo by Henry M. Holden.
“Keep cash on hand,” said Paul, “because banks and ATM machines depend on electricity to serve their purpose.” Avoid opening the refrigerator or freezer as much as possible. Make sure to have an emergency power supply for anyone who needs power for medical equipment. Preparing a home and vehicle for the coming winter will not keep the snow away, but it will make a much safer winter.

Local Man Continues To Raise Funds For Caldwell Food Pantry
t is not too late to donate to the Caldwell Food Pantry. An 89-year old North Caldwell man, Donald Meserlian, recently donated $112 raised from his Caldwell Food Pantry Benefit Concert held Sun. Nov. 13, at the Caldwell United Methodist Church in Caldwell. Twenty percent of the proceeds went to the Caldwell Food Pantry for Thanksgiving baskets. “Although less than 30 people attended the concert, sale of tickets prior to the concert permitted me to donate $112 to the Caldwell Food Pantry for their Thanksgiving baskets,” says Meserlian. “The YY Sisters, Tatev and Lucy Yeghiazarian were the featured performers,” he mentions. “In addition my friends from the Fine Grind Coffee, Little Falls and I performed.” The Fine Grind musicians were Analyce “Annie” D’Agostino, Scott
Jung, Rich Soni and Ben Qasher. Twenty percent of the ticket sales, $3 for each $15 ticket sold was donated to the Caldwell Food Pantry. “Unfortunately, lack of support from the community forced me to spend over $500 to pay for the professional musicians,” he says. “In order to recover my loss I have created the “Musician’s Performance Fund” where a $4 newspaper, “The Sovereign” is given to supporters of the “Musician’s Performance Fund” and a minimum donation of $1 to the Musician’s Fund is requested, $5 minimum. Meserlian is the publisher of the newspaper. Twenty percent of the donations to the musician’s fund will be given to a Food Pantry. Donations can be paid online at www.thesovnews. com. Call Meserlian at (973) 2282258 to donate.

MPAC To Offer Performing Arts Program For Children With Autism
M
ayo Performing Arts Center (MPAC) is proud to announce that Elaine Hall and her pioneer organization, The Miracle Project, will bring a new course curriculum to children with autism spectrum disorders and other special needs in 2017. As a Miracle Project provider, MPAC will offer this unique program for the first time anywhere in New Jersey, utilizing music, dance and theatre to unlock the creativity, personalities, and great potential of children. This program builds on MPAC’s commitment to serve all members of the community, including children with autism and other special needs, by combining a traditional inclusion-based arts education program with the use of student aides and peers in the classroom. The Miracle Project is an evidenced-based, award-winning program that uses music, dance and theatre to bring out the best of children with autism and their typically developing peers. Through a method called Inclusion from WithIn (I Win) and the “Seven Keys to Unlock Autism,” the program addresses the core challenges of autism – communication, behavior and socialization. Its goal is to provide children with tools to build communication, social skills, and self-esteem through inclusive theater, and to become part of a performing arts community. “We are thrilled to bring our Miracle Project training to MPAC,” said Elaine Hall, founder and artistic director of The Miracle Project. “The need for this program is profound. The rate of New Jersey children diagnosed with autism is much higher than the national average. MPAC and The Miracle Project are so aligned in the way we approach the arts that it was such a natural fit.” The Miracle Project’s arrival at MPAC comes at a time when a staggering 2.5 percent of children in the state are diagnosed with autism, considerably higher than the national average of 1.5 percent. Autism spectrum disorders are characterized by social-interaction difficulties, communication challenges and a tendency to engage in repetitive behaviors. Symptoms and their severity vary widely across these three core areas. In preparation for the launch of the two session course offering beginning in January 2017, MPAC educators will train directly with Hall and her team this December in
the methods that her groundbreaking, West Coast-based program has developed for the past 12 years. Hall will give a free public lecture on Mon., Dec. 12 at 7 p.m. at the MPAC. The lecture, titled Elaine Hall and Inclusion from WithIn and The Seven Keys to Unlock Autism, will discuss how the program uses performing arts to provide children on the autism spectrum with tools to build communication, social skills and self-esteem through inclusive theater, and how she plans to implement that program at MPAC. Added Hall, “Our training programs understand the specific sensory and emotional needs of children with autism. Imparting this training to the MPAC educators will enable them to not just assist with intervention techniques, but ultimately provide the right theatrical foundation for future theatre, film and television professionals in a way that encourages belonging to a theatrical community.” “Establishing The Miracle Project at MPAC is a milestone for our arts education program and an amazing opportunity for us to expand our offerings to serve children of all needs,” said Cathy Roy, MPAC education director. “We’re looking forward to training with Elaine Hall and becoming certified as the only Miracle Project provider in the state of New Jersey where 1 in 41 children are affected by autism. There is a great need here for a program like this and we are very honored to be a part of it. The program is aligned with our philosophy of building self-esteem and acceptance through the use of collaboration and artistic expression.” The spring 2017 semester will offer two course opportunities. One course will be offered to 10 students with autism, ages nine through 15, who require individual aides and 10 neuro-typical “peer mentor” students who volunteer to undergo the program alongside their peers with autism. The second course will feature 10 students with autism, ages nine through 15, who do not require individual aides, along with 10 neuro-typical students. Each course runs 22 weeks, and culminates in an openclass presentation. The concept of pairing students with autism with others who do not allows the students with autism to learn from their neuro-typical peers, engendering social continued on page 12

Caldwell Women’s Club Stuff Stockings For Veterans
ay and evening members of the NJSFWC Women’s Club of Caldwell gathered for its annual October Pot Luck Dinner at St. Aloysius Parish Center to assemble stockings for soldiers overseas. Each member brought a dish for the pot luck dinner and six or more of the same item to fill the stockings. An on-line sign up ensured that a variety of items would be included in each soldier’s stocking. Each Christmas stocking was filled with personal care products including soap, shampoo, toothpaste, toothbrush, a pair of socks, writing paper and pen, candy, deck of cards, snacks, plus a ten dollar prepaid phone card purchased by the club. Members also wrote personal notes of thanks to include in each stocking. In addition, members folded and tied face cloths to look like teddy bears, which were placed at the top of the stockings. After the stocking were stuffed, members sewed the tops together to ensure the contents would be secure during delivery. The club assembled 25 stockings for Boatsie’s Boxes “Operation Christmas Stockings” this year. Boatsie’s Boxes collects stockings from volunteer organizations from all over the United States to deliver to soldiers serving overseas. The New Jersey State Federation of Women’s Club organized a collection this year. The Women’s Club of Caldwell’s stockings were delivered to the NJSFWC headquarters, where they were boxed and will be delivered

Donations Needed To Support Veteran’s Outreach Initiative At Centenary University
I
n conjunction with the Student Veteran’s Organization (SVO) and the student-based Psychology and Lions Clubs, the Office of Veteran Services at Centenary University is taking part in a Veteran’s Outreach initiative for the Fall 2016 semester. The collaboration effort will include a donations drive to benefit veterans at the VA Hospital, Lyons. The Veteran’s Outreach project will be accepting donations of the following from now until Dec. 15: new men and women’s slipper socks, new crossword/word search/ Sudoku books, boxed K-cup coffee pods and 2017 wall calendars. “We have planned this activity with the hope that the Centenary community will unite to honor, support, and remember the veterans in our lives,” says Margie Pavlichko, director of Veterans Services at the University. The Office of Veteran Services at Centenary University provides valuable services and resources to student veterans, veteran dependents, active military, and re-
Roofing
servists in the Centenary community. The office is dedicated to assisting veterans in navigating internal and external systems, obtaining educational goals, developing initiatives, and helping to facilitate a seamless transition to the academic arena and successful integration to the campus community. In honor of Veteran’s Day on Nov. 11, the Office of Veteran Services saw it fitting to engage the Centenary community in various activities to honor those who have served or currently serve. Contact Margie Pavlichko at (908) 8521500, ext. 2318 or e-mail pavlichkom@ centenaryuniversity.edu to make arrangements to drop off donations. In addition, donations can be left with the Centenary Stage Company’s box office at the David and Carol Lackland Center in Hackettstown. Drop off boxes will also be left outside of the Sitnik and Black Box theaters when performances are in session. In addition to the donation drive, “The Honor Tree” made its fourth annual in the David and Carol Lackland Center to rec-
ognize the valor, courage and sacrifice of those who served or are currently serving. The tree stood outside of the cafeteria from Nov. 7 through Nov.11, and is permanently displayed in the Veteran’s Resource Center on the third floor of the Ferry Building. The Honor Tree is decorated with more than 300 stars that are placed on the tree by students, staff, faculty, administrators, and community visitors. This special tree is available year-round to hang a color-coded star in support of our troops and to honor family, friends, colleagues, alumni, and those in the greater Centenary community who have served. Another way the Office of Veteran Services invited the Centenary community to honor our country’s veterans is through a project called The Gratitude Journal, which was also available outside the cafeteria from Nov. 7 to Nov. 11 for the campus community to write a message of thanks to Centenary student veterans and service men and women around the world.

Take A Candlelit Tour Of Historic Castle This Holiday Season
T
ake a Holiday Candlelight Tour of Essex County Kip’s Castle to view the stained glass Tiffany windows and learn the history of this hidden gem. Tours are at 7 p.m. on Tues., Dec. 6, 13, 20, 27; Thur., Dec. 8, 15, 22, 29; Sat., Dec.10 and 17 at the Essex County Kip’s Castle Park in Verona. “Essex County Kip’s Castle Park is a unique historical treasure that gives us a glimpse of our county’s unique past,” said Essex County Executive Joseph N. DiVincenzo, Jr. “We invite you to visit this holiday season and learn about the history of the Tiffany Windows that are found throughout the Castle.” Admission is $8 and includes coffee, hot chocolate and cookies. Registration is required and can be done by calling 973433-7469. Space is limited and is on a first

Essex County preserved the castle and 11-acres of property in 2007 using grants from the New Jersey Green Acres Program and the Essex County Recreation and Open Space Trust Fund. Since the 30-room medieval-style castle, carriage house and 11acre property were added as the 18th park in the historic Essex County Park System, the Department of Parks, Recreation and Cultural Affairs has hosted a variety of free community events at the site. In addition, the castle is the headquarters for the Essex County Division of Cultural and Historic Affairs.
