A Quarter Million Hats- Emily Hopes For More

By Jane Primerano he stereotype of some middle school girls, especially those from affluent communities, is not generally a positive one. Supposedly, they think only of themselves, spend too much time on their cell phones and develop crushes on the very boys their mothers don’t want them to hang around with. The stereotype does not include creating a charity to provide hats for the homeless. But that’s what Emily Kubin did. Now 22, the Drew University senior is the found-

er of Emily’s Hats for Hope Initiative. Emily learned to knit from her grandmother, Tibbie Reynolds, near the end of middle school. She started making scarves and sweaters and then learned to make hats. She found them a “quick and fun project,” and decided to find a local group to donate to. She was still thinking she would just make a few hats and donate them but word got out and others started to donate hats as well. The first place to receive the hats was the soup kitchen in Morristown, Emily’s home town, then she brought some to the Inter-

Barbara Schmidt-Kemp

“Your Hometown Realtor” “Barbara was so well organized and helped get our home ready to sell. We couldn’t have done it without her kind words and guidance. She went above and beyond what most agents have done”.

faith Food Pantry in Morris Plains. Now they are also brought to the Jersey Battered Women’s Shelter and the Zufall Health Center. Emily also sends hats to Newark, Elizabeth and Cranford and other areas in the state with larger populations of the poor and homeless. “The interesting thing about Morris County,” Emily said, “is that a lot of people don’t know there is poverty here. We have Madison, Chatham and Mendham, but there are hidden problems.” Another thing Emily finds interesting is that the places she donates to don’t often ask for more hats. “I have to ask them if they need more,” she said. “It’s like they don’t want to infringe on us. At this point we just look back to where we have donated in

the past. Before, we looked into all the food pantries, soup kitchens, etc.” Social media, for all its faults, can help get the word out on a good cause. As friends of Emily and her family found out about EHFHI, they told other friends and now there are satellites internationally. Domestically, there are chapters in Washington State, Texas and Kentucky, among other states. Internationally, there are chapters in Denmark and Australia. Emily admits she would love to visit the sites, “at least a cross-country road trip to visit the domestic sites.” The Facebook page also offers tips on getting items to organization, posts photos of donated hats and “lets people see what is happening,” Emily said. Recently, the page announced the

group donated its 25,000th hat. She admits she couldn’t run EHEFI by herself, especially not while majoring in psychology at Drew University in Madison. Her mother, Jill answers questions and response to emails to the organization, her grandmother and many of her friends knit hats and her aunt, Sue Harris helps get the spin-off groups set up. Like many college seniors, Emily is looking at graduate schools all over the country. “I hope I end up in a cold place where people need hats,” she said. Her ultimate goal is a doctorate in social psychology. She would like to study different factors that influence poverty and the perceptions of poverty. She is prepared to work

for a while before graduate school, however. Questions on EHFHI can be directed to emilyshatsforhope@yahoo. com. Donations are welcome at P. O. Box 2374, Morristown, NJ 07962. Emily emphasizes store-bought hats are welcome although most distributed are hand made. She also noted she has a “room full of yarn,” so is not accepting donations of yarn at this time.

Continue To Brighten The Future By Sharing Positive Stories In 2017

By Cheryl Conway ith winter holidays behind us and the new year already here, many may have noticed some extra kindness with more and more people giving to charities, hosting dinners, providing meals and reaching out to those struggling or needing some help to get

by.

These are the type of stories that New View Media Group welcomes as good news and kindness tend to spread and creates a chain reaction that may encourage others to pitch in by donating some time, money or items that they do not need or use. New View Media

Group, it’s that new view on news that tends to steer away from anything controversial and negative, such as last year’s political debates and election. The recent election, as contentious as it was, remains uneasy for many who question the next leadership; and if the other candidate would have won, that same

uneasiness would have still been present. As readers look back at 2016, and then forward to what lies ahead, we must not forget the importance of sticking to core values, good ethics and morals, and proper etiquette which can range from being kind to others; having respect continued on page 4

championship, defeating the Lenape Valley Patriots in the NJSIAA North 2, Group 2 State Championship. “It was a good group of kids,” said Chris Kubik, who has been the head coach at Madison since 2006. “Every year is fun, but this year was just tremendous. This is what we expect and this is what we work for.” Kubik credits the incredible season to hard work, chemistry, veteran leadership and coaching. He always tells the kids to only focus on the game at hand because if they look too far ahead they will fail. “You can’t treat the games bigger than they are,” he explained.

Kubik, 46, who has coached for 25 years, was the defensive coordinator for three state sectional championship teams- Verona in 2001 and New Brunswick in 2003 and 2006, prior to joining Madison. Head Coaches Lou Racioppe of Verona and John Quinn of New Brunswick had a major impact on him. “I’m very emotional with coaching,” Kubik said. “Growing up I just loved the game. I knew I was always going to be around football.” Looking back on the season, he explained sometimes the chips just fall their way. The first game against Lenape Valley the team was without three

have the same formula. I just think we get there differently. Players will follow you. You just have to lead them there.” He explained that like most teams, the kids study film, are in the weight room, practice and train. But, there is something about Madison football that allows these kids to succeed, he said. As a physical education teacher in the school, he often knows what’s going on with his players. This makes his relationship with his players even stronger. “I’m in the building, so they can’t hide from me,” he said. “No one interferes with my program and that’s how it is.”

starters, but won 45-42. “That’s when I knew we were going to battle,” he said. “These guys were just different in how their approach was.” According to Kubik, he realized there was something special when the team opened camp in the summer. There were no cliques and everyone was there to help each other grow as a unit, he explained. Sometimes a coach gets lucky and gets a group of kids like this, he noted. These young men are laid back off the field, but ferocious on it. “The bottom line is I have great players and great assistants,” he remarked. “I think we all

WHAT’S NEW IN DENTISTRY Recently, the Food and Drug Administration approved a new dental material called silver diamine fluoride, which has been used for decades in Japan. This new material can arrest large tooth decay after removing the decay with a hand instrument. While it is not a permanent solution to treating cavities, it has a wide variety of applications. For instance, it is good for treating cavities in small children. If a three-year-old child has many large cavities in his or her baby teeth but is fearful of the dentist, this new material is a viable option for treatment. The dentist can simply remove the decay with a hand instrument, dry the affected tooth and apply this material. After this, the dentist can go back and restore the teeth one by one at a later date, when the child is more readily able to handle the procedure. The application diamine fluoride can also help those with delayed dental insurance coverage. Sometimes, a patient has a tooth awaiting treatment. His or her dental insurance will not cover the procedures until months later when it becomes effective. This patient can have the material applied as a temporary solution until insurance can cover the procedures to properly treat the tooth. Due to the simplicity of the applica-

tion of silver diamine fluoride and the economical nature of this type of treatment, the patient can meet a budget. Other applications include geriatric care. Many senior patients have a limited budget, yet have many large root cavities due to various medical conditions. Silver diamine fluoride can economically arrest multiple cavities after one procedure. It provides a valuable and cost-effective alternative. As always, my office stays at the forefront of dental technology and material science.

Donation Opens New Thrift Store To Regenerate Women’s Shelter

By Cheryl Conway he new year is looking bright for a battered women’s shelter organization thanks to a significant donation from a Livingston business person who responded to an SOS call. This donor, and his wife, who wish to remain anonymous recently allocated $35,000 to Strengthen Our Sisters (SOS), a grassroots, community based non-profit, program serving homeless/battered women and children for more than four decades. The funds went toward the shelter’s utility fees and to open a thrift store in Passaic. With restricted monies coming in, the organization has been in jeopardy of closing its doors to hundreds of women and children. While constant funding is needed to keep the non-profit running, the most recent donation has allowed SOS to sustain its operations for now and to cover the first three months’ rent of a new thrift store, Treasures Two, expected to open March

1 on Chestnut Street and Main Street, near Popeyes, in Passaic. “We’re struggling,” says Sandra Ramos of Ringwood, founder and executive director of SOS. “We are not in to money; we don’t get paid. I haven’t been paid in four years. We don’t give the money to ourselves. We give money to serve the people. We do it out of love. We want to make the world a better place.” Established in 1977 as Shelter Our Sisters – Ramos began the first shelter for battered women in North America out of her three bedroom home in Hackensack. The organization changed its name to Strengthen Our Sisters and grew as big as eight houses, two day care centers, a food pantry and a thrift store. “Our shelter is the largest,” says Ramos, currently providing 155 beds to persons needing shelter. “We have 177 beds available. We take people that we don’t get reimbursed from welfare.”

The mission of SOS is to break the cycle of domestic violence, poverty and abuse by restoring balance and harmony through individual empowerment. To support her organization, Ramos receives some money from the Passaic County Dept. of Human Services, private donations, counties and social services. Ramos currently has 17 non-paid volunteers who drive shelter residents to look for jobs and attend court, doctor appointments, social services, schools; they fix things, watch children. “We have people working who have no pay, no insurance,” says Ramos, who had to reduce her non-paid staff and is currently down to seven shelter houses located in Newfoundland, Wanaque and West Milford. A teacher of social issues and dynamics of domestic violence at Ramapo College, Ramos has been reaching out to the community for monetary support to keep her organization afloat.

Two Mind Reading Shows Planned For Charity

harity Productions plans to present Flavian on Sun., Jan 29, The Amazing Kreskin, Sun., Feb. 12. Both shows are at 2 p.m. at the Fireman’s Community Center in N. Caldwell. Contact Donald Meserlian at (973) 228-2258 to order tickets. Cost for each show is $25 or $30 to attend both. Proceeds will support “Musician’s Performance Fund” (MPF) for helping promising talented and pro-

fessional musicians earn a living without requiring a second job; and a local food pantry. Flavian “will make you laugh as he reads your mind and reveals answers to some very funny questions.” Flavian has appeared at Caesars Palace, Lincoln Center and New York City’s number one comedy club Caroline’s. He has also appeared on various radio and TV shows such

as NBC’s “Psychic Attractions.” “The Amazing Kreskin” is known world-wide. “With a showman’s flair, a comedian’s wit, and the capacities of a bona fide mentalist or thought reader, “The Amazing Kreskin” has, for six decades, dramatized the unique facets of the human mind. His very name has become an integral part of pop culture throughout the world.

ston read about her cry in the local “Livingston News,” and decided to take a closer look. “I’ve been thinking about a worthwhile organization to support,” he says. Rather than giving his money away to “get thrown in a big pot

and you don’t know where it goes,” he chose SOS. “They are out of sight, out of mind.” Despite its financial woes, “they continue to supply services with their extreme limited amount of money.” He “thought it was a

floundering, worthwhile organization. I called to get name of attorney to find out if they are a legitimate organization; then traveled to visit her” to see the shelters, day care centers, thrift store and food pantry. He met “a continued on next page

New Thrift Store... cont. from previous page bunch of people,” young and old, and talked to them “hearing how they struggled and got strengthened getting back into society and back into their lives. “What a youthful, helpful organization it is; thought it was worthwhile to support,” he says. “It just kind of reinforced there’s a need for this; reinforced there are many people in need of support in places to live, for food. They’ve gone through tremendous financial strains.” The donor also supports the organization’s purpose: to help women “to reestablish a life after gone through a poor circumstance, such as battered women, mentally, physically.” While he says “I’m not a

zillionaire,” he says he did have some success in his profession which has now allowed him and his wife to give back. “I’ve spoken to Sandra a half a dozen times,” he says, to learn “what their needs are. They say they get a lot of donations. They need the store but they need an ongoing business to regenerate the business to self-sustain, to pay the people working there. They have to generate a good chunk of revenue plus some revenue to pay some people to run the store.” Of the funds he allocated, $10,000 went to pay shut off utility fees for gas and electric at the shelter’s seven houses; and $20,000 as a reverse matching fund to

cover the first three months’ rent at the new thrift store, explains Ramos. “We are supposed to match it,” says Ramos. “We have constant needs. We need refrigerators,” gasoline, insurance. Treasures Two is set to open March 1. The brand new store features a showroom with a store downstairs, an elevator and wood floor, describes Ramos. Customers will be able to shop for new and used furniture, high end designer clothing for mostly women, children and some selections for men. “We get a lot of stuff,” says Ramos, as far as donations. “We get some really good stuff; got a feathered couch,” antiques.

The store will be open six days a week from 10 a.m. to 7 p.m. The organization’s other thrift store, Treasures, opened 30 years ago and is located in West Milford. As she looks forward, Ramos hopes to add in a Jazz Café at the new store and eventually a Treasures Three featuring “gardening stuff.” Ramos is currently in need of furniture, cars, quality clothing and monetary contributions.

n a recent Chatham Township Committee 2017 reorganization meeting held Jan. 5, Mayor Curt Ritter thanked the committee for re-electing him to a second term as mayor and briefly recapped some of the committee’s key accomplishments from 2016 and highlight some areas of focus for 2017. By all accounts 2016 was another successful year for the Chatham Township Committee. Public safety and health remains a top priority in 2016; we continued to make great strides on the public safety front as we worked to ensure that Chatham Township remains one of the safest towns in America to live, raise a family, and retire. This past year we welcomed two new patrolmen, Nicholas Giordano and Brian McGrath, and bid farewell to Sergeant Robert Scheetz, who retired after 29 years of service. In a testament to the fine work of the men and women of our police department, under the leadership of Chief Steven Hennelly, Chatham Township is consistently ranked one of the safest towns in the United States and New Jersey. Our various public safety initiatives, including our 10 Community Policing Districts, the Medicine Drop Box program, and our Neighborhood Watch program have contributed to this success. As I mentioned in my mayoral address last year, we allocated funds to ensure that our police department remains well equipped and trained to handle the worst of scenarios. Ensuring our police have the tools they need to protect our residents will remain a priority. This

past year the committee was also successful in further addressing the safety concerns of residents who walk and bike through town. We submitted grants to extend the sidewalks on Shunpike Road from Pine Street to Falmouth Road, and to establish sidewalks on Southern Boulevard and River Road. This follows our efforts in 2015 to secure a grant to construct new sidewalk on Spring Street and Lafayette Avenue. The police department and our Public Safety Committee continues to evaluate ways to further increase pedestrian safety through the establishment of new signage, sidewalks, and crosswalks as needed. This year, we will continue to work with the Board of Education, Safe Routes to School, and other organizations to increase the public’s awareness of pedestrian and bicycler safety. We will also look to launch an inaugural Pedestrian Safety Awareness Week to raise awareness of this important issue that impacts all residents, young and old. Public health was also a focus this past year as we hosted several public forums in an effort to bring greater awareness to important issues facing our community, though not often openly discussed. I have spoken of the importance of increasing awareness of mental health issues and suicide prevention. This past June, in conjunction with the American Foundation for Suicide Prevention we hosted a Talk Saves Lives Suicide Awareness and Prevention seminar for residents. And in October, in partnership with the Jersey Battered Wom-

en’s Service, we hosted a presentation on Preventing Domestic Violence. Videos of these presentations, as well as others, are housed in our video library on the website and are some our most watched videos. We will continue these public forums and encourage residents to contact us if they have an interest in having us address a particular public safety or health topic. This September, in support of the American Foundation for Suicide Prevention, we hosted the first annual Chatham Township Out of the Darkness Walk at the Chatham High School with former Governor Codey and Congressman Frelinghuysen on hand. We far exceeded our original goal of $10,000 after we successfully raised more than $70,000 among more than 500 participants from Chatham Township and surrounding communities. Given the success of this event I’m pleased to announce that we will host our second annual Out of the Darkness Walk this Sept. 23. Looking toward 2017, we will continue to make public safety and health a top priority. Since the 1980s, New Jersey’s black bear population has been increasing and expanding its range both southward and eastward from the forested areas of northwestern New Jersey. Within the most densely populated state in the nation, black bears are thriving and there are now confirmed bear sightings in all 21 of NJ’s counties. This past year more than 630 black bears were harvested statewide and more than 100 were harvested in Morris County alone. We will continue to work with

the New Jersey Department of Fish and Wildlife and our police department to further educate the public on black bear safety while exploring the possibility of harvesting black bear in select non-residential areas similar to where deer harvesting has been permitted in the past. We will also continue to look at revitalizing our Community Emergency Response Team (CERT) and will seek volunteers who can assist the police and the Office of Emergency Management in their efforts should the need ever arise. I would encourage any member of the community who has an interest in getting involved in this important initiative to contact me at Mayor@chathamtownship-nj.gov. In conjunction with National Preparedness Month we will continue to build upon our efforts to develop a more robust Public Safety Awareness campaign and will look to develop an emergency app that residents can download to their smartphones and mobile devices that they can use as a resource in emergencies. Looking at our township finances, the committee continues to take pride in its efforts to prudently manage expenses while increasing awareness of the budget process so all residents understand how their tax dollars are being spent. While other municipalities speak of increasing taxes, we were pleased, for the second year in a row to cut our local taxes reflecting the lowest local purpose tax rate in more than 10 years! Few, if any municipalities in NJ can tout this significant accomplishment. Speaking of taxes, this past year, following

feedback from residents, we researched and instituted the ability for residents to pay their taxes online via credit card. In delivering the annual audit report to the committee last year, our new auditors said the township should be commended and indicated that our finances were in “phenomenal condition.” This new relationship will continue to ensure Chatham Township remains at the forefront in the utilization of best practices in all matters concerning our budget and finance-related initiatives. Looking toward 2017, we will continue to maintain a balance of prudent fiscal responsibility while meeting the quality-of-life needs of our residents. Over the next few months we will discuss the 2017 budget and pay careful consideration to the Open Space Tax. We encourage all residents to come to a future committee meeting, or view a replay online, to better educate themselves on the process and to see how their tax dollars are being prudently spent. In an ongoing effort to stop the Pilgrim Pipeline we passed Resolution 2016- 96, which authorized Chatham Township to join the Municipal Pipeline Group, a group of municipalities who are collectively fighting the proposed pipeline. We will continue to work with other communities and speak with one voice in opposition to the proposed pipeline. This continues to be a long fight and one we are committed to fighting over the long haul. On the public works and utilities front, we welcomed several new employees to the Department of Public

Works. The DPW team is responsible for keeping Chatham Township the beautiful place we are all proud to call home; whether it’s prepping recreational fields, plowing roads, or filling potholes, on behalf of the committee I commend Rich and his team for their continued great work. This past fall we officially opened the Hillside Trail, another great piece of Open Space that has been preserved and now utilized by residents. In an effort to keep Chatham beautiful, we will continue to carefully review our options when it comes to acquiring property to further protect the open space in Chatham Township. A point of pride in Chatham Township continues to be The Colony Pool Club. Last year we continued our efforts to improve the membership experience through increased social activities, including additional movie nights, an adult Luau and Pig Roast, and increased live music on Sunday afternoons. And while other areas pools struggle to attract and retain members, I’m pleased to report that membership increased by more than seven percent last summer as The Colony Pool Club has become the summer destination of choice for area residents. As we seek other ways to improve the member experience we continue to make improvements at the Colony Pool Club including rebuilding the retaining wall. On these cold winter nights, many are already looking forward to summer. Registration will soon be open and we encourage you to consider joining by visiting continued on next page

Ritter Recaps 2016... cont. from previous page www.thecolonypoolclub. org. Another important issue the committee will continue to focus on in 2017 is addressing the township’s affordable housing obligation. By way of background, the New Jersey Supreme Court in a line of cases beginning in 1975 found, as a constitutional requirement, that municipalities cannot use the zoning power to exclude affordable housing from within municipal borders. This is known as the Mount Laurel doctrine and requires all municipalities throughout NJ to provide realistic opportunities for affordable housing. The resolution of the pending litigation has been a point of discussion in the Committee’s Executive Sessions over the past year. And while our fair share housing obligation is not fully known, expert calculations for our prospective affordable housing need for the period from 2015 to 2025 range from a high of 727 to a low of 208 and this range has been and is subject to various adjustments. Whatever the ultimate number, it should be noted that since 1992 the township has had an A-H Affordable Housing District where the police department, DPW and Skate Park are currently located. We are now in a better position to address our affordable housing obligation following a proposal from a builder to rezone Dixie Dale Farm to develop luxury townhomes, while also building, operating and managing a 100 percent multifamily rental development at the Skate Park, which we would seek to relocate. The committee unanimously passed two

resolutions in support of the Planning Board reviewing this matter further. We will continue to keep residents abreast of the latest developments and encourage individuals interested in learning more to view the Affordable Housing link under the government tab on our website, or to attend a future Planning Board meeting as they discuss this matter further. As I’ve mentioned previously, Chatham Township is blessed to have hundreds of volunteers who donate countless hours of their time in support of our community. This past April, in a small effort to recognize their hard work we celebrated National Volunteer Month to thank them for all that they do and to bring greater awareness of their organizations. We will continue this tradition and encourage all residents to consider getting involved in some capacity. We continued to make great strides in advancing our communications efforts with residents. In 2016, we launched Chatham Township Perspectives, a new communications initiative that features a series of Q&A-style videos with key township employees, and volunteers. These videos offer residents a closer look at the various departments, committees and boards and the individuals who support them to ensure that Chatham Township remains a great place to live, raise a family, and retire. Special thanks go to Tom Salvas our communications manager who has produced this series of videos. After soliciting extensive feedback from residents and local businesses, we launched a newly rede-

signed website in November. The website, which was built with a responsive design layout to enhance viewing capabilities on mobile and tablet devices, features easier navigation, a more visual layout, and new content and resources. As communications with our residents remains paramount, the new website provides residents information on the important issues in the township, while providing them easier access to the many services available to them As always we remind residents that if you want your voice to be heard, or have a suggestion on how we can improve our communications to residents, we invite you to attend one of our Committee meetings or email the committee at Committee@chathamtownship-nj.gov. In conclusion, I would be remiss if I did not thank our all our Township employees, including our Township Administrator Tom Ciccarone and our Clerk Greg LaConte and the entire township staff for their continued hard work on behalf of our residents. For those of us on this dais, and others before us, the commitment to serve often keeps us away from family and friends, but we do it for the love of our community and a willingness to give back and make things better. Thank you again for your support. I look forward to working closely with all of our committee members as we work together to Build a Better Chatham.

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

With Winter Settling, Tips Prepare For Any Storm strongly suggested. While the kids may love having a day or more off from school, for adults winter weather means a sometimes-chaotic 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 four-legged family members. Make sure they have four or five days of food and water. OEM Director Jeff Paul said when temperatures go below 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

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.

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. continued on page 15

Prepare For Any Storm... cont. from page 12 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 ve-

hicle 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 un-

derneath the tires can make them stop spinning. Blackouts and brownouts. Partial or full power outages during major storm events are expected. “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.

CHS Senior Selected For Top Band

hatham High School senior Sean McCarty has been selected for the All-Eastern Band on bass trombone.

Presents Of Mind Offers Great Selection

resents of Mind in Flanders is a luxuriously appointed store filled with trendy, classic, and humorous gifts, gourmet foods, local art, and exotic teas. Its retail associates look to gain valuable career experience in retail and store management, have the opportunity to learn point of sale software, soft-selling and customer relations skills, retrieving and processing of orders received through the website, inventory management, store

I utilize Coldwell Banker Analytics, which is an algorithm that allows me to find the demographic that is likely to move to your neighborhood. It allows me to search by household income, education level, and the town and county that is the best fit for your neighborhood and street. Next, I utilize Facebook’s “likely to move” feature allowing me to target advertise into these towns. It’s a powerful way to combine

big data and advertising. Why advertise to a small local audience when I can reach thousands through Facebook Ads, in multiple towns and counties across the state? And remember, that is what you are hiring me to do! You are hiring me to provide superior marketing, which will drive the greatest number of potential buyers to see your home! There is one other thing that I have to offer that is a true game changer for my clients. I am the ONLY Madison based agent that has the unique relationship with Zillow that allows me to have a video of my client’s home shown at the TOP of the Zillow page for( Madison, New Jersey real estate)

It is so important that your house is SEEN and this goes a long way to accomplishing that. There are typically 60-80 homes on the market in the Spring, so why have your home get lost among a long list of other homes? Get it on top where it belongs!

CHS Students Participate In Model Congress Conference

wenty-four students from Chatham High School’s Model Congress club attended the Princeton Model Congress conference run by Princeton University from Nov. 17-20 at the Grand Hyatt Washington D.C., along with approximately 1,000 students from across the country. CHS sophomore Bridget McGarry introduced a bill titled “The Clean Vehicle Rewards Act” and sought to encourage the usage of clean vehicles by allowing owners to drive in HOV lanes as well as getting a sales tax deduction. Not only did it make it through committee and passed in the full Senate, but it was even signed by the president and upheld in the Su-

preme Court - a first for a Chatham High School student! Bridget commented after the weekend that her favorite part of the weekend was spending time in her committee, “because I got to discuss an issue that I really cared about in a small setting.” The Model Congress Conference is an ideal place for students to engage in political discourse regarding topics that interest them and are relevant to the nation today. The majority of students who attended the conference were part of either the House of Representatives or the Senate. Students were assigned in advance to one of the two houses and then also assigned to a committee within that house. They each

did significant research and then drafted a bill relevant to their committee that they hoped would improve the United States in some way. To prepare for the conference students met weekly to present their bills and critique each other’s. They also learned Parliamentary Procedure in advance of the conference. Throughout the four day conference students sat in two to three hour committee sessions, listened to their peers present bills and then fought to amend, pass or defeat these bills. Each CHS student also presented their bill to their committee. Approximately twenty of the bills that Chatham students proposed passed in some capacity. Some were passed unanimously, some with

amendments and some failed in committee but were so interesting that Princeton then took them and passed them on to full

Senate or House debates. On Saturday, the students got time to tour Washington, D.C. including the National Archives and the

Jefferson, Franklin Delano Roosevelt, and Martin Luther King, Jr. memorials.
