ing, an IHSA coach at Centenary where he has worked for the past 16 years. According to the IHSA website the organization was first established by Bob Cacchione in 1967 when he was a sophomore at Fairleigh Dickinson University, founding the association “on the principal that any college student should be able to participate in horse shows, regardless of their financial status or riding level.” The team at Centenary is one of the top ranking IHSA schools in the nation and competes locally in zone three region three. They compete against schools in northern New Jersey and southern New York such as Drew University, the United States Military Academy and Vassar. “Centenary has won our region every year for the past decade,” Dowling states of the IHSA team’s regional performance. The Centenary IHSA team currently has approximately

60 riders from all different riding levels. Competitions include walk/trot levels as well as an open competition including Hunt Seat as well as a Western Division. Throughout the academic year, teams and riders compete in a variety of shows and earn points which will help them qualify for nationals. The top two qualifying teams from each division earns a place to compete at Nationals. Subsequently the top two individual riders also move forward based on the point system. The Centenary team “participated in eight shows over the past two semesters,” says Dowling. With six shows in the fall semester and two in the spring. The regional competition was hosted by Centenary at the beginning of April and then zone finals were held in Gloucester leading up to Nationals early this month. Dowling explains that both individuals and teams parcontinued on page 4

Sheriff Candidate Supports Project Lifesaver

iting abysmally low usage rates of a life-saving service designed to protect residents with developmental disabilities and dementia, Warren County Sheriff Candidate Charlie Makatura recently announced plans to better serve and assist the county’s most vulnerable residents if elected. “It’s a great thing that Project Lifesaver is offered by the Warren County Sheriff’s Office to protect our most vulnerable residents,” said Makatura. “However, it’s a disgrace that the service has been utilized just three times in the last twoplus years.” Makatura says he thinks that this poor usage rate stems from a lack of outreach to publicize the program. Information obtained via a Open Public Records Act request shows that Project Lifesaver has been utilized just one time since Jan. 2016, and only three times since Jan. 2014. Project Lifesaver is a life-saving service provided by the Warren County Sheriff’s Office for residents afflicted with

dementia or Alzheimer’s disease, or with autism, Down syndrome, or cognitive impairments. Participants register with the sheriff’s office and wear a special wrist or ankle bracelet equipped with a small transmitter which emits a signal that law enforcement can track when someone goes missing, reducing search time from days and hours to mere minutes. According to the official Warren County Sheriff’s Office website, “the Warren County Sheriff’s Office serves as the lead agency for Project Lifesaver.” Makatura noted a March 31, 2016 report issued by the Center for Disease Control that New Jersey’s rate of children identified with an autism spectrum disorder is the highest in the nation – one in 41 children, compared to one in 68 nationally – an increase of 12 percent from just two years ago. “Unfortunately, nearly all of us have been touched in some way by autism, Down syndrome, dementia or Alzheimer’s,” said Makatura. “It’s the duty of those in law enforcement to

As sheriff, I will personally make sure every resident, family, caregiver, support group and treatment facility who can be assisted by Project Lifesaver is fully aware of the sheriff’s ability to play a proactive, critical role in better protecting our residents.” Makatura served for 22 years in the state police; is a United States Air Force and New Jersey Air National Guard veteran; has business experience from M&M Mars; and currently serves as councilmember for Belvidere.

Centenary IHSA Team...

continued from front page ticipate in the competition and Centenary has attended the IHSA Nationals over the past ten years as either a team, with individuals, or both, having also won the championship three times in the past six years. This year Nationals were held at the Kentucky Horse Park in Lexington but is rotated to a different spot each year. The event is nearly a week long during which 20 qualified students from Centenary attended with coaches Dowling and Heather Clark. The transportation of 12 horses from Centenary stables was also provided by the IHSA through a commercial transporter and the riders and coaches flew to Lexington with funds from the Equestrian Team budget.

The individually qualified riders from Centenary attending this year’s Nationals Competition were Andrew Pryslak, Danielle Sagliano, Cheyenne Bianchi, Emily Weaver and Cody Wooten, a previous winner of the IHSA Cacchione Cup. The team riders consist of one rider from each riding level including Carolyn Brouard, Daniela Peteer- Paul Lohr, Caroline Norton, Michael Andrade, Skylar Laakso, and Cody Wooten. Overall the team placed fourth in the Collegiate Cup Hunter Seat competition. In the Novice Equitation over fences, Norton placed first. In Intermediate Equitation on the flat, Andrade placed third and Wooten placed third in Open Equitation on the flat. Recently Centenary’s American Na-

tional Riding Competition (ANRC) team also won the overall ANRC championship. This competition Dowling states, “is an outstanding event that is comprised of four phases, including a written phase, a program ride [which] is very much like a dressage test with a trot and canter jump incorporated, a derby phase as well as a metal phase.” In this event riders compete

with their own horses, or the college owned horse they have been schooled on. Overall Centenary’s riding teams cleared their jumps with room to spare and “the success that the Centenary teams have is attributed to a group effort,” Dowling explains, the talent and hard work of the riders and, of course the “faculty, staff and wonderful horses.”

Pioneer For Battered Women’s Shelter Finds Creative Ways To Carry On Her Mission

By Cheryl Conway any more have heard her cries for help, and although wonderful, the need in affording a storage place to house all of the generous furniture donations is that much greater. Founder and Director Sandra Ramos of Strengthen Our Sisters (SOS) has found a vacant store at 1621 Hamburg Turnpike in

Wayne and has a vision of opening a store there to keep all of the furniture donations much needed by the women she shelters through her organization. The 6,000 square foot space used to be a florist shop, she says. “It’s a great location; has a lot of room; it’s long,” says Ramos of Ringwood. “We get so much stuff that we have to turn it

down. We have nowhere to keep it.” Since her call for help a few months ago seeking contributors to help pay for the mortgage at a lower interest rate to keep SOS afloat, Ramos has received close to 30 calls from people who have furniture donations. “Some of it we took,” she says. If donations continue to come in, Ramos says “we could sell it” at the store and help support SOS. Established in 1977 as Shelter Our Sisters - the first shelter for battered women in North America- the community-based nonprofit organization changed its name to Strengthen Our Sisters and has since grown to eight houses, two day care centers, a food pantry and a thrift store. Through SOS, Ramos provides housing for 155 women and children in shelters located in New Foundland, Wanaque and West Milford. The store in Wayne would be rented to her for $5,000 per month, she says. With ideas already sprouting, she has creative ways to use the space in addition to furniture storage.

She was thinking it could be used as a jazz café to feature some students who perform; or even as a craft store, as a place for the women in her shelter to show off their many talents such as artistic ability and sell items for profit. “We have so many women with talents who are living poverty stricken,” says Ramos. “We have women who are artistic. They can make dolls and pictures, handmade clothes and ceramics.” One of her houses is for older women and “they owned businesses,” she says. “We want to be economically independent rather than dependent,” she adds. “The women can become economically sufficient.” Ramos’ experience in working 15 years as a waitress in a jazz place, Mikell’s in NY, can now come into play if her plans carry to fruition. For those who would like to help by either continuing to donate furniture, as well as money to offset the mortgage, or who has an idea for a better and yet more affordable store location, call Ramos at 973-831-6156.

The Yearly Madness Hits Hackettstown With Memorial Car Show One of the mainstays of the event is Doc South, who not only makes the day memorable with his music, but reminds the crowd what the â&#x20AC;&#x153;memorialâ&#x20AC;? part of the day is all about. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Doc is a combat veteran of the Vietnam War, and it is especially important to him that we observe a moment of silence for our troops at noon and then place our hands

over our hearts when our National Anthem is played,â&#x20AC;? said Guyette. Doc South will also be taking donations for phone cards to be given to our troops. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Doc is part of the history of the car show, and people come to listen to him play the oldies and remark on the music and the event as much as they enjoy the cars,â&#x20AC;? said Guyette. continued on page 8

The annual Memorial Motor Madness Car show can have up to 500 cars on a good weather day and benefits many organizations in the Hackettstown area.

By Elsie Walker undreds of cars, the sounds of Doc South, food, vendors, and the faces of the M&M gang smiling downâ&#x20AC;Ś it can mean only one thing: the 22nd annual Memorial Motor Madness Car Show. Presented by the Hackettstown Rotary Club on the MARS Chocolate North America grounds at 800 High Street, the event will be held rain or shine on May 29, from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m., with gates open to cars at 7:30 a.m. Vehicle registration is $25. The show benefits The Joan Knechel Cancer Care Center at Hackettstown Medical Center and Rotary programs that help local individuals, families, and nonprofit organizations in the greater Hackettstown area. Spectator admission is $5, with children age 12 and under admitted free when accompanied by an adult. No pets and no alcohol will be admitted. For more information, call 908-509-1828 or visit: www.hackettstownrotary.org. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This signature event of the Hackettstown Rotary Club is, by far, its most visible and effective project, affecting

thousands of people in the greater Hackettstown area. While vendors and exhibitors may travel considerable distance to participate, theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re happy to do it because itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s both a top quality car show and a great cause. Spectators show up year after year to support the cause and have a good time welcoming in the summer season. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s about as American an activity as one can find, and easily one of the best because it brings all kinds of people together for the common good,â&#x20AC;? said Rotary member Kevin Guyette, volunteer coordinator for the event. Rotary member and car show chair, Andrea Kirchuk, said that the show can feature 500 vehicles on a good-weather day. There are 21 different classes that include Mustang, Firebird, Camaro, Antique (pre-1940 to 1970), VW Beetle, Antique Trucks, and Street Rod, and more. Prizes are awarded in each class, with judging by show participants. Best of Show is chosen by popular vote, with this yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s winner receiving the Ed Hagaman Memorial Trophy, named in honor of one of the showâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s founders. Special dash plaques are awarded to the first 400 entrants.

Food vendors will be on hand to serve breakfast and lunch items, including breakfast sandwiches, burgers and hot dogs, sausage sandwiches, Southern soul food, ice cream and hot and cold beverages. Rotary members will be selling chances for a cash 50/50 prize. There will be a number of car-related vendors and some craft vendors. Hosting the event on its grounds is MARS Chocolate/North America, which is marking its 75th anniversary this year. Guyette noted that “MARS Chocolate/North America demonstrates its generosity to the community by graciously hosting the event on their grounds, supplying manpower where needed and candy galore to exhibitors and spectators alike. The company’s commitment to community action is without peer. They are the perfect partner to our endeavor.” Sponsors for this year’s event include Autosport Chevrolet, Centenary College,

Memorial Car Show...

Hackettstown Hyundai, Hackettstown Medical Center, Honda of Hackettstown, Johnson Dodge, MARS Chocolate North America, Smith Motor Car Company, WRNJ Radio, and Warren County Community College, The bottom line of the event is that it helps some great causes. Kirchuk noted that the show will benefit The Joan Knechel Cancer Center at Hackettstown Medical Center, as well as other local charities supported by the Rotary Club, including the NORWESCAP Food Bank, The Arc of Warren County, Big Brothers/Big Sisters, Camp Merry Heart, DASACC, and more. For those in the Hackettstown Rotary Club, it is a great deal of work, but it also helps many organizations and lets those that come get a peek into what the Rotary is all about. Reflecting on that, Guyette shared, “I have been a member of the Hackettstown Rotary Club since 2000 and have served as the club’s president twice. The beauty of the car show is that it brings so many people into the beautiful town of Hackettstown to

both enjoy the event and learn more about Rotary. Rotarians are everywhere that day, and many of us are approached by guests who genuinely want to know about the club’s other activities. It’s one of the best ways to promote our scholarship program, the Thanksgiving Food Drive, the shredding programs, and our international efforts. It’s also the first introduction to

Rotary for many people, and it’s our hope that they will consider joining the club at some point. I like to kid that Rotary is like Shakespeare – it’s everywhere, and it has enlightened and elevated those who are open to its magic. We help make lives better, here and abroad, and we have fun doing it, too. That, to me, is the joining of personal and professional commitment.”

Centenary Celebrates Earth Day

By Jane Primerano he lawn between Centenary College’s Seay Administration Building and Jefferson Street on a warm spring day is often the habitat of napping students interrupted by nosy dogs being walked around the neighborhood. But on Sat., April 25, tents and tables dotted the lawn for the annual Earth Day Celebration in Hackettstown. “Earth Day was Wednesday,” Biology Professor Lynn Taylor noted, “but we get more people on the weekend.” She said this is the eighth year of the celebration. Radio station WNTI’s contribution to the day was a music tent featuring sets by Kathy Moser, Matt Ramonga and Skysleeper, said Melanie Thiel, business manager and DJ. On the east side of the lawn were tables set up by student organizations and science majors. Taylor and other faculty members distributed “passports” to children visiting. The passports were stamped at each table the children visited. Any child with all the “ports” stamped got to choose an item from a goodie bag, Taylor said. They also received a $10 ticket to a show at the Centenary Stage Company and a raffle ticket for either a gift certificate from Cartridge World or Salt Gastro Pub. Anjana Desai’s Global Politics class was painting faces and selling baked goods for the benefit of Soles for Souls. The students raised money for school supplies needed by students in poor countries, Desai said. Last year they shipped nearly 50 pounds of supplies, including pencils and pens, colored pencils and pretty much anything children can use, she

Fully Insured Free Estimates

said. This year a school in Honduras will receive the supplies. In previous years, the schools were in Costa Rica and Guatemala. Small children lined up for Earth Day-themed images on their faces and a few of the college students painted each other’s faces. Biology major Vicki Thiel had tanks with marine life for children to touch. The blue crab was a little nippy, but the hermit crab seemed happy to be held, she told some children visiting the table. Thiel explained an aquatic hermit crab, like its terrestrial cousin, seeks out homes in abandoned shells. Members of Tri-Beta, the biology honor society, were handing out seeds to be planted in biodegradable pots. They were also selling t-shirts featuring all of the classes in the biology department. The highlight of Earth Day each year is the recycled fashion show. Fashion design majors create haute couture out of found objects. Christina Medina wore “Morning Buzz,” a top made out of newspapers and a skirt made from Greek Diner coffee cups. “I wanted to illustrate what everyone needs in the morning, newspaper and coffee,” she said. Tori Morris went entirely in newspapers. “It has muslin on the inside. I pleated it on the mannequin and sewed the skirt to the top,” she explained. Kayla Gonzales took 420 yards of yarn and two shower

curtains and turned it into a replica of a wedding dress she saw. The yard was wound into flat circles and placed discreetly on the transparent shower curtains. Carolina Arboleda created a tissue-paper skirt and a halter top out of a Victoria’s Secret bag. Other fashion majors and their friends modeled truly recycled prom dresses. Centenary is the only New Jersey college campus with a continued on page 19

continued from page 17 chapter of Becca’s Closet. Alexandra Lentini is president of the chapter. She explained Becca’s Closet was founded after the death of Rebecca Kirtman, a 16-year old high school student from South Florida who made it her mission to provide prom dresses to girls who couldn’t afford them. She collected 250 dresses for girls in Dade County before her death in a car accident in 2003. Fashion Professor Kristen McKittish explained some girls feel sensitive about needing a free dress and come to a Becca’s Closet a ways from their homes. Others posted pictures of the dresses on social media and spread the word. Many of the dresses donated are prom dresses, but some are bridesmaid’s dresses, McKittish said. They are in all sizes and colors.

Houseplants Can Clean Indoor Air

ardening is a rewarding hobby that can pay a host of dividends, both for the planet and the people doing the gardening. Healthy plant life can help clean the air by absorbing carbon dioxide and various air pollutants, while the act of gardening can help gardeners combat stress. Published in 2011 in the Journal of Health Psychology, a study from researchers in the Netherlands found that gardening promotes relief from acute stress. In the study, two groups of participants were asked to complete a stressful task and then instructed to either read indoors or garden outdoors for 30 minutes. After 30 minutes, the latter group had lower levels of the stress hormone cortisol and even reported being in a better mood than the group instructed to read indoors. But gardening does more than just provide gardeners with a reason to spend some time relaxing outdoors in an effort to relieve stress. Gardeners who raise certain plants may be able to bring those benefits with them when going inside as well. According to an article published in the journal Environmental Health Perspectives in October 2011, houseplants can work wonders when it comes to improving overall health, removing toxins from air, soil and water by metabolizing some toxic chemicals and releasing harmless byproducts while sequestering such toxins by incorporating them into plant tissues. Clean indoor air is important for everyone, but especially so for those people who suffer from respiratory ailments like

asthma. In fact, the American Academy of Allergy, Asthma and Immunology considers indoor air filtration an essential part of any strategy to improve respiratory health. But filtration systems and air purifiers are often not enough, and those who want the air in their homes to be as clean as possible may benefit from introducing certain houseplants into their homes. The following are a handful of plants that can help to improve indoor air quality. • Aloe vera: Aloe vera might be most often associated with hand creams and hand soaps, but the aloe vera plant, a succulent that even novice gardeners should have no problem growing, can clear indoor air of formaldehyde and benzene, two common byproducts of chemical-based cleaners many people use in their homes. • Spider plant: Spider plants are resilient, and that makes them great houseplants for busy men and women who tend to be forgetful when caring for their plants. In addition, spider plants are pet-friendly and can be used to combat benzene, carbon dioxide, formaldehyde and xylene. • English ivy: NASA researchers exploring the possibilities of long-term space habitation found that certain houseplants were more effective at cleaning air inside energy-efficient, nonventilated buildings than others. One such plant was English ivy, which can effectively combat the formaldehyde found in certain household cleaning products. • Bamboo palm: Bamboo palms also found their way onto

NASA’s list. Bamboo palm plants thrive indoors, where they are especially effective at filtering out the chemicals benzene and trichloroethylene. Gardening has been proven to be a soothing hobby that can help gardeners reduce stress. But the health benefits of gardening can extend indoors as well.

Local Blood Drives Offered

ew Jersey Blood Services plans to conduct local blood drives which are open to the public. The following drives are scheduled: Fri., June 3, Indian Lake Community Club, Denville, 2 p.m. to 8 p.m. Sat., June 4, Presbyterian Church of Morris Plains, Morris Plains, 8 a.m. to 2 p.m. Sunday, June 5, Seventh Day Adventist Church, Dover, 8:30 a.m. to 2:30 p.m. Mon. June 6, Shoprite, Succasunna, 10 a.m. to 8:30 p.m. Fri., June 10, Shoprite, Netcong, 1 p.m. to 7 p.m. Sat., June 11, Fishawack Festival, Chatham, 8:30 a.m. to 2:30 p.m. Sat., June 11, The Music Shop, Boonton, 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. Tues., June 14, Aon Corp. in Morristown 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. New Jersey Blood Services, a division of New York Blood Center (NYBC) is asking for help to maintain an adequate supply of all blood types, but especially O-negative – the “universal” blood which can be transfused into anyone in an emergency. In addition, hundreds of additional blood drives need to be scheduled to meet projected hospital de-

mand. Current inventory of several blood types is running below the desired target level. “It’s simple: hospital patient demand for blood often outpaces our best efforts to recruit donors and schedule blood drives,” said NYBC Executive Director of Donor Recruitment Andrea Cefarelli. “There are always reasons but we have to overcome that for the sake of hospital patients who need us.” “This is one of the toughest times of the year,” Cefarelli added. “We’re asking for our dedicated supporters to roll up their sleeves to make sure we’re able to provide our hospital partners with whatever they need to take care of their patients.” Blood products have a short shelf life – from five to 42 days, so constant replenishment is necessary. Each and every day there are patients who depend on the transfusion of red blood cells, platelets and plasma to stay alive. But blood and blood products can’t be manufactured. They can only come from volunteer blood donors who take an hour to attend a blood drive or visit a donor center. To donate blood or for information on how to organize a blood drive call 1-800933-2566; visit: www.nybloodcenter.org.

Black Oak Golf Club: A Dream Come True

he story of Black Oak Golf Club began more than 30 years ago, but a lot had to happen before becoming the idyllic vision of golf that it is today. The most compelling part of the story is not the wetlands, the movement of dirt or the dedication of the membership â&#x20AC;&#x201C; it is the story of those

who brought it to life. You would be hard pressed to find another golf club in the state that has taken more vision, time, energy, and sweat from a core group of dedicated owners. From Joe Hays, who acquired the property more than a quarter century ago as a continued on next page

of the PGA of America Rules Committee. Pasternak himself is a PGA of America Board Member and award winner. A more accomplished golf staff would be hard to find. 2015 was a transition season for the club that has become the talk of the town. Their long awaited clubhouse opened mid-season to rave reviews from the members. “The dream is finally a reality,” says Pasternak. “Until this year, Black Oak has been a work in progress. The 2016 season will be the first time members and their guests will experience a club with complete amenities – terrific golf, events, parties and first rate culinary experiences.” Some of the best amateur players from across the region choose to play at Black Oak, yet the majority of the membership is made up of local residents, many of whom don’t play golf.

club. At its core, Black Oak Golf Club is a local club where local individuals and families gather with golf as the center of activity,” says General Manager and Director of Golf Dan Pasternak. “Certainly this is one of the finest and most beautiful 18-hole championship courses in the state,” he continues, “and it wasn’t that long ago that it was just a dream in the minds of the owners.” In addition to its owners, Pasternak believes that there are several factors that make the club, located in Long Valley, the unique oasis that it has become. One is the relaxed nature of its membership, as opposed to the stuffiness you may find at older traditional clubs. Another is the incredible staff that includes Glenz, a legendary PGA player and instructor, PGA Tour winner and multiple winner of NJPGA major championships. Head Golf Professional Brian Jones is a former NJPGA Teacher of the Year and an expert in the rules of golf. Jones has acted as an official at The Masters, Ryder Cup and the PGA Championship, and is Vice Chairman
