Livingston Grad Dances on the Carnegie Hall Stage
R
By Steve Sears ecent Livingston High School graduate, Nidhi Ladda, relives Saturday evening, July 9, 2022, when she stepped onto the Zankel Hall stage at Carnegie Hall. “Walking onto that stage, it was amazing,” Ladda says. “It was an out of world experience that I don’t even know how to describe. You just have to be on that stage to know exactly how it feels. The lighting there and everything - it’s so perfect. Honestly, I wish I could keep dancing right there and keep it going.” Ladda danced with her partner, Krupa Patel, performing an Arangetram - also known as a graduation dance. Ladda trains at the Kalashri School of Arts Dance School in Parsippany under Guru Bina Menon. “Arangetram is a debut performance. That is just saying that the dancer is ready to perform and she’s been fully trained. I’ve been preparing for the Arangetram itself for that performance for the past two months, and I’ve trained in classical dancing for 12 years now,” Ladda says. For Ladda, it was her second time performing at Carnegie Hall. In January 2020, Ladda was on stage at Stern Hall as part of Festival World of Dance. Ladda is trained in three different types of Indian classical dance forms: Bharatanatyam, Kuchipudi, and Mohiniyattam. She explains. “These three dance forms are from the southern part of India. It’s all heavily influenced by the culture down there.” And Guru Bina Menon has been with her every step of the way. “My guru has to be my biggest inspiration,” she says. “And she not only gave me dance, she gave me the most valuable lessons of my life. She is really there for you and she guides you through every single thing every step of the way. Without her, I would not be here where I am today.” Ladda also speaks highly of her dance partner. “Krupa

is my best dance partner ever. We both have a healthy competition, and we’re always trying to push each other, making sure that we’re both doing our best. And that really helps me as a dancer because I’m always improving, continued on page 2

Livingston Grad Dances... is the dance team there,” Ladda explains. “I hope that in the fall when I join, I can try out and be a part of the team, and share Indian classical dance with the team. I don’t think they have Indian classical dance there yet. I hope to make that a part of it, and really just share my culture and just keep dancing. Ultimately, dance is for yourself and it’s for the soul. I want to keep it there for as long as I can.” And while being a successful dancer is indeed important to Ladda, so is her most important goal. “My goal in life is one thing: to make my parents proud. Be a daughter that they can be very proud of, and be a strong, independent woman, start my own business hopefully one day, and to keep spreading dance in my culture. In order for the culture to keep going, each generation has to keep spreading it and sharing it to the next. It can’t just end with me. I want to make active efforts to continue to spread my art form and make sure that it doesn’t die out.” Bhagawathi Ladda speaks about his daughter. “We are so incredibly proud of our daughter, Nidhi, for her great accomplishment. We want her to do great things and shine with pride. She has worked very hard and will continue to excel.”
continued from front page and she’s always improving. We’re also so supportive of each other. Going through Arangetram was a very challenging process, and it can be emotionally challenging as well. But we have each other’s backs, and we’re always there to just support each other, keep pushing each other to keep going, and keeping ourselves grounded in that this is all worth it. It’s hard, but it’s all for something so great and for a day that we’re going to remember for the rest of our lives.” According to Ladda, there are a few things that are a part of being successful in dance. “You not only need to be smart enough to memorize all of the works, you also have to be physically fit, and then mentally strong. And emotionally, you have to be really well connected with yourself and have your expressions. It really goes three ways, and you need to be strong in all these things in order to do dance.” Ladda, who graduated with high honors from Livingston High School, will attend Babson College in Wellesley, Massachusetts in the fall, and will dance for AMAN: South Asian Students’ Association, which is geared towards the cultures of India, Pakistan, Bangladesh, Sri Lanka, and Nepal. “AMAN

Sister Cities: Livingston, New Jersey, Meet Livingston, Louisiana
W
By Steve Sears
e don’t have any lodging or anything. It’s a small town,” says Jonathan “JT” Taylor, Mayor of Livingston, Louisiana. “But the parish – I can tell you all kinds of things with the parish.” Livingston is the seat of Livingston Parish, Louisiana, and Taylor has been mayor since January 2021. The town was established in 1955. There were two communities, Doyle and Livingston, which combined to make one town. “Livingston was started kind of from the lumber industry. It was called Lyons Lumber Company. The lumber industry was real big here with pine trees and things like that, and it was a logging community. Livingston was just west - and when I say ‘west,’ it just butted up to Doyle. So, Doyle was on the east side and Livingston was on the west side. In 1955, the two towns combined, creating just the town of Livingston. Everybody else is a county, but we’re the parish seat of Livingston Parish. This is where all the government entities are. Our school boards, police departments, and government entities are here in our town.” Livingston, New Jersey checks in with almost 29,000 residents, while its Louisiana
“sister” has about 2,000. There are highway 10s that run east to west through both communities, although Livingston Louisiana’s is an Interstate highway that becomes Interstate 12 for a period before becoming Interstate 10 again. “Most people kind of relate South Louisiana to great food, hospitality, and nature,” Taylor says. “People say, ‘You can’t come see an alligator in the town of Livingston,’ but we’ve caught a few. We don’t have any major waterways running through the town of Livingston, but within 10 miles you could be on the 400 miles of rivers that we have in Livingston Parish.” In the town of Livingston, Louisiana, there are a few small town, old-time burger joints that are enjoyable. G&J Drive Inn and Snow Top Drive Inn are both on Florida Boulevard (also known as Route 190). “If you want to get your Cajun fix and good seafood, Hilltop Inn (in nearby Maurepas) or Duke’s Seafood & Steakhouse (Denham Springs) are located in our parish. And Duke is actually a three-time world champion oyster shucker.” As for nature, there are those 400 miles of waterways in Louisiana Parish, but there is also Tickfaw State Park. “They have a birding trail,” Taylor says, “and part of the
Livingston Parish Courthouse in Livingston, La. Photos courtesy of the town of Livingston, Louisiana
birding trail at Tickfaw State Park is along our waterways. Another really cool place that we have here that’s just outside of town, but their address is in Livingston, is a science facility called LIGO. They discovered the gravitational waves, which proved (Albert) Einstein’s theory of relativity. They (Barry Barish, Kip Thorne, and Rainer Weiss)
actually won a Nobel Prize in science. It’s a really cool facility that most people around here take for granted. They don’t really even know it exists.” And then there’s V. Watts Trade Day. “This event takes place in our town every second Saturday,” Taylor says. “Approximately 150 vendors from around continued on page 5

continued from page 4 Louisiana and neighboring states set up booths with antiques, crafts, and other treasures. This event brings a couple thousand people to our town every month.” The Livingston school system is one of the best in Louisiana, and the town is, in Taylor’s words, a “bedroom community.” “People work in Baton Rouge and New Orleans, and we’re kind of in between both. We’re just east of the capital city of Baton Rouge, but then also New Orleans is less than an hour drive from Livingston. But we have great public schools, some of the top of the state, and that’s really one of the main attractions to our town and to our parish is because of our school system. People live here so they don’t have to pay an outrageous amount of money to send their kids to private school.” One notable resident
“V. Watts Trade Day”
is Laine Hardy, the 2019 winner of the popular show, American Idol. “His sister lives here in town, and he still lives here in the parish. As a matter of fact, I saw him last on Fourth of July. He was here in town.” Per Taylor, South Louisiana, the town of Livingston included, is a fascinating place. “It’s like a different country,” he says. “Like I said, I think the number one reason people come to Louisiana is for food. That’s funny
to say, but it is a unique experience. And we have some great places to visit. That’s one thing about Livingston itself: we are kind of a hub and spoke where you could be here in Livingston, and then drive to New Orleans or Baton Rouge. You’ll see plantation homes and things like that. We’re close to a lot of things that a lot of people like to see. Sometimes we take it for granted, but I know people that come from out of state love it.”

HOME ZONE with Andrea Hoffmann
A
nswers to your home and real estate questions. Q: What are the top things a buyer wants to see? A: Of course beauty is in the eye of the beholder. But, if you want me to generalize, I’d say that buyers want homes that have been cared for and well maintained. (Unless, of course, the buyer is planning to knock the home down… which we’re seeing quite a bit in Livingston. In that case, price and location rule.) Beyond that, there’s usually more competition for move-in-ready homes that won’t require the immediate replacement of big ticket items such as the roof, hvac system, siding, driveway, masonry and windows. Lastly, many people are turned off by water problems, so if you have one, fix it pronto (and don’t forget to disclose it when you sell so you don’t end up in a legal snag). Q: Everything is so expensive these days. Which improvements will pay me back? A: While TV shows and magazine spreads entice us with gorgeous kitchens and luxurious baths, at the end of the day you still just wind up with a place to cook or bathe, albeit in more style. If
Conran’s Plaza Next to Home Depot
you’re after money-saving renovations, investigate a new heating/cooling system and more energy-efficient windows and doors. Insulated siding can do wonders for minimizing heating/cooling leakage. And, if you like the idea of solar, but not the look of the panels, definitely explore the recent innovations in solar shingles. Ask your utility company for a home energy assessment along with recommendations of how your specific home can do better. There may be some available tax rebates, too. Q: Are rising mortgage interest rates

cooling off real estate? A: Historically, higher interest rates have affected the market since each dollar borrowed now costs more.

T
By Henry M. Holden he Yogi Berra Museum & Learning Center opened in 1998, and is home to a permanent collection of photographs and artifacts that document the inspirational life of the winningest player in baseball history, Lorenzo (Lawrence) Pietro Berra, but known to everyone as “Yogi” Berra. “Yogi Berra cared so much about education,” said Eve Schaenen, Executive Director of the Yogi Berra Museum & Learning Center. “We built a site that would honor Yogi and his emphasis and caring about education.” “Yogi, and his wife Carmen, had this idea to educate kids using baseball as a vehicle for learning,” said Schaenen. “If I had to distill the work that we’re doing now it would be to make sure that we are saving his legacy by promoting the values that he stood for. The values are written all over the museum’s walls, as part of the permanent collection. They are teamwork, respect, determination, and humility. These were the qualities that defined Yogi as a human being, not just on the ballfield but throughout the course of his life and they really inform all the education that we do.” The museum is home to various objects, including the mitt Yogi used to catch the
only perfect game in World Series history. “We are using Yogi and all that goodness in those values to teach kids everything from language arts to Science, Technology, Engineering and Math, (STEM)”. There are four topics listed on the website, Race, Immigration, Women in Sports and Financial Literacy. These are virtual field trips. The program on race grew out of an exhibit from the Negro leagues in Kansas City. “It’s the story of the Negro Baseball leagues, and the players” said Schaenen. “It’s also about taking aspects of their lives and using it as a way to talk about structural racism. The program talks about the Negro leagues in such a way that allows us to get into the social justice issues.” ‘The program has seen a lot of success locally. Every seventh grader in the school district has seen it. It’s very gratifying to see the success of this program, and the fact that we’re reaching as many students as possible.” The museum just opened an exhibit on Women in Sports, featuring Billie Jean King, the tennis great. “We want to honor and inform people that her efforts were crucial in eventually bringing equality to women continued on page 11

Blast from the Past... continued from page 10 in sports. We also want to recognize her commitment to support the LGBT+ community as an activist in a time when it was not fashionable to take such a position.” There is a one-week summer baseball camp where kids learn the fundamentals of baseball on a ball field and is located on the campus of Montclair State University. “For the rest of the year, we have both in-person and remote field trips.” Yogi was a son of Italian immigrants who grew up in an immigrant neighborhood on “The Hill,” in St. Louis. He had a typical mid-20th century immigration story, where the family was important. “It’s very rewarding to see the response from schools about immigration as well,” said Schaenen. During World War II, Berra served in the US Navy as a gunner’s mate on the attack transport USS Bayfield during the D-Day landings at Omaha Beach. He received several commendations for his bravery. During an interview on the
65th Anniversary of D-Day, Berra confirmed that he was also sent to Utah Beach during the D-Day invasion. Berra earned a Purple Heart, a Distinguished Unit Citation, two battle stars and a European Theatre of Operations ribbon. “He came back, to play baseball and raise a family,” said Schaenen. “We use that as a way of accessing other immigrant stories. That unit really addresses the immigrant experience, and everybody has an immigration story.” While playing in American Legion baseball team, Berra received the nickname “Yogi” from his friend Jack Maguire. After seeing a newsreel about India, Maguire said that Berra resembled a yogi from India whenever he sat around with arms and legs crossed waiting to bat or while looking sad after a losing game. “The Financial Literacy subject came out of feedback from educators. We found that some young people have very limited exposure to ideas of financial literacy. This course is a way of getting into that. We created a board game that kids can play that allows them to map out what

it would feel like to be a rookie ball player making a certain salary. It allows them to think about how they would spend money. We try to create these topics in such a way that they would be appealing to young people.” Women in sports is now front-page news. “The women’s soccer team is now earning equal pay as men. That is progress,” said Schaenen. “And women are on the front page of every newspaper lately regarding the gender issues around competitive swimming. It’s addressing some of the inequalities in sports. Billie Jean King’s advocacy is one reason why women are getting paid in sports. We try to make sure that we are not just talking about an isolated moment in history. By using Yogi’s full story, we are able to shed light on all sorts of topical issues today.” Yogi is also famous for his “Yogi-isms” aka malapropisms. “You can observe a lot by just watching,” “We made too many wrong mistakes,” “The future ain’t what it used to be,” and perhaps his most famous one, “It ain’t over till it’s over.” “In 1972, Berra was elected to the Baseball Hall of Fame,” said Schaenen. “But the legacy of Yogi Berra extends beyond the playing field. We encourage people to come to the museum and that view Yogi not only as a Hall of Fame great but as a Hall of Fame human being.” Berra was also awarded the Presidential Medal of Freedom, and has his picture on a US postage stamp on July 1, 2021. Berra passed away in his sleep, at the age of 90, on September 22, 2015. For more information, visit yogiberramuseum.org/visit.

Livingston-Raised Children’s Book Author in Love with Her Craft
T
By Alexander Rivero rained actress, piano instructor, and teacher Lorie Spohn–author of a collection of charming, selfillustrated children’s books–has bounced around the area quite a bit over the past 50 years. Having spent the first 30 years of her life in Livingston, she then moved to Morristown, then Randolph, then Allentown, PA, and has resided in Bethlehem, PA for the better part of the past 16 years. Throughout this time, her proverbial path of selfdiscovery apexed in illustration writing, two things she beautifully fused into the single art form of the children’s book. To scroll through her list of books is to recall our own days of spending a quiet summer afternoon putting our imaginations to paper. Her books are filled with colorful renderings of an imagination in constant flight–surfing dogs, walruses in party hats, lemurs in spectacles. And, though her list of topics and characters is diverse, there are themes that unify both her work, as well as her overall approach to it. “For me it’s all about the humor. I like to have a lot of humor in my books, both for my own enjoyment and because I know it works in getting others to enjoy my books,” she says. “There are many lessons I picked up during my 12 years as a substitute teacher, but I think the most important one out of all of them is the fact that humor is about as vital a part of getting the undivided attention of children as anything else.” Spohn began writing her books about a decade ago, when she decided to try her hand at something she loved
doing for its own sake– illustrating and writing. Her time as a teacher helped tremendously in her reaching this conclusion, as she always enjoyed working with children, and especially appreciated the way in which doing so allowed her to nourish her own inner child and imagination. “I keep many of the kids I’ve taught over the years in mind when I work,” she says, responding to whether she has an “ideal reader” in mind when she begins and pushes forth on a new project. “I also think about my great nephew and great niece, Jordan and Sienna. Jordan’s four and Sienna’s three.” Years ago, Spohn trained as an actress in West Virginia, but took to drawing and artwork as a way of continuing the impulse to create that had led her to acting school in the first place. “The desire to act morphed into the need to draw,” she says. Talking craft, Spohn admits that her illustrations take about five times as long a time to complete as the written portions of her book. And the quantity of the illustrations depend largely on the target audience of the book she happens to be working on at any given moment. “Generally speaking, the younger they are, the more important the pictures are,” she notes.

continued from page 12 characters in them. Children respond very well to animals, and many adults do too,” she says. Spohn had many exotic pets growing up, from a Mexican yellow-headed parrot to a pet caiman alligator, and she says having these animals in her daily life contributed a profound sense of magic to her years growing up. Spohn uses watercolor pencils in her illustrations, which requires her first to pencil sketch whatever it is she is putting to paper. If the result is neat enough, she follows the sketch by scanning the result under a piece of watercolor paper, since she cannot use watercolors on sketch paper. She then proceeds to use watercolor pencils, which to the naked eye look just like regular pencils, and colors in the sections of the picture. “Depending on how I’m feeling that day, I may do the whole thing in a single sitting, or I’ll divide it up into several,” she says. She concludes by running a damp brush over the portions where she colored with the pencils, and voila.
Considering which of her books she looks to with most pride, she answers that her Jeffrey’s Adventures series takes the cake. “I really liked that whole series in general, but specifically the one where he goes down the shore,” she says, referring to Jeffrey’s Amazing Adventures: A Shore Vacation. “I really liked the pictures in that one very much.” The Jeffrey’s Adventure series are geared more towards a 7-10 age reading group, where Spohn’s previous work is more geared towards a 4-6 aged reading group. Some of Spohn’s other titles are: Jeffrey’s Amazing Adventures: A Dude Ranch Vacation; A Wacky and Wonderful Walrus School Play; How Letty Lemur Learned to Love Her Glasses; and Jordan’s Joyous and Jolly Walrus School Play, all of which are available on Amazon and Lulu. Spohn says she is currently working on the illustrations for another book, and that this one will be set in beautiful Hawaii. “My characters have always been pretty lucky.”

More Precious Than Gold, Be The Gift of Mentoring A Young Person
I
By Richard Mabey Jr. n September of 1966, I began the eighth grade at Chapel Hill School in Lincoln Park. It was a most magical and enchanting time for me. Once again, I was able to walk to school in the early morning. There was the chirping of the song birds, the scurrying of squirrels climbing up and down the trees that adorned Main Street. There was a certain joy and happiness of once again walking to school with the old gang. For just a few months ago, I had been recovering from a full-year battle with dreaded Rheumatic Fever. And, all through seventh grade, I had tutors. For that entire year, my feet never touched the ground. But in that year, something very special happened in my life. From both, my hospital bed at times and my bed at home, I began to write feature stories for the old Lincoln Park Herald. Mr. Nicholas Marino, the Editor-in-Chief of the old Lincoln Park Herald, took an interest in my writings. While I was battling Rheumatic Fever, I would write stories about Boy Scout Troop 170. My mom would type them up and hand deliver

I do not think that I ever chose to be a writer. I think God called me to be a writer. There were way yonder too many coincidences in my journey to find success in the writing arena. I was to write news articles and feature stories for the Lincoln Park Herald, for many years. Mr. Marino was a tough editor, but he also had a heart of gold. He was an old school editor, all the way.

United States Equestrian Team Foundation and Hamilton Farm Have Bred Champions
W
By Steve Sears hen Bonnie Jenkins, Executive Director of the United States Equestrian Team Foundation, enters the facility at historic Hamilton Farm in Gladstone, a special thought often comes to mind. “Just the facility itself harkens back to a time of equestrianism in Somerset Hills when the very best horses and riders were here,” Jenkins says. “Still, to this day, I think when you drive in here, you feel that tradition, the legacy of some of the greatest riders to ever represent the United States on the world stage in the Olympics, Paralympics, and World Championships.” “There are two distinct things here,” Jenkins says. “One is this amazing facility, Hamilton Farm, as it’s referred to in the equestrian community of Gladstone and the sport, and our efforts now as a foundation to

support our athletes and our teams. They’re both critically important.” The United States Equestrian Team (USET) transitioned to the United States Equestrian Team Foundation in 2003. “Its responsibility was and still is the philanthropic partner of our national governing body, the United States Equestrian Federation,”
says Jenkins. “We raise money for our international teams and the development programs that prepare our riders up through the pathway, so they can hopefully one day ride on the Olympic team.” A total of 252 medals have been won by riders and their horses who trained in Gladstone: 49 Olympic and Paralympic
medals, 103 World Championship medals, and 100 Pan American Games medals. A brief history. The Gladstone location dates back to 1911, when New York financier James Cox Brady bought the first 180 acres and started construction later that same year. Cox’s Hamilton Farm would eventually grow
to 5,000 acres, and the first stables were constructed were in 1916 and 1917. The USET was formed in 1951, and Arthur McCashin, a Gladstone resident and a 1952 Olympic rider, brought the USET to Hamilton Farm. Bertalan de Nemethy in the mid 1950s was named coach of the USET show continued on page 19

Bertalan “Bert” DeNemethy was an influential figure in the development and success of United States Equestrian Team (USET) in show jumping. He was a cavalry officer in Hungary before he immigrated to the U.S. in 1952 where he later became the show jumping coach for the USET, a position he held from 1955 until 1980. He’s pictured here riding in the main arena at Hamilton Farm.

United States Equestrian Team... continued from page 18 jumping discipline, and in 1961, the horse stable and many acres were leased to the USET. After de Nemethy’s retirement, Chrystine Jones Tauber took over. “She was a show jumping rider that rode on a several international teams,” says Jenkins. “When she finished her riding, she became the Director of show jumping for the United States Equestrian Team and managed the Olympic and Pan American teams that represented the United States.” Jack Le Goff was hired as USET Eventing coach in 1970. “He was a key person,” says Maureen Pethick, Communications Coordinator of USET Foundation. “He was big in the event game, and he really wanted the riders to be good horsemen and horsewomen. I think the event riders had a lot of respect for him. He refined the Eventing program in the United States, and I
think he revolutionized the program. There was an era where there was a lot of medals and a lot of success in international competition during his tenure here.” Prior to 2003, the USET did train at the Gladstone site and selected athletes and teams for competitions. “The USET oversaw the sport side and fundraising of our high-performance teams,” says Jenkins. “Athletes did do training here, and there were National Championships here.” The Federation has some staff and offices at the facility today, but teams don’t have a permanent training center at Hamilton Farm as in the past. “Athletes really all have their own stables and farms and businesses,” Jenkins continues. “If they are selected for a team, they (Olympic and Paralympic teams) come together and they may do some pre-export training and quarantine together before they leave the country to go
off for an international tour. But they largely all have their own businesses and are at different places throughout the country, training and competing.” One rider who trained at Hamilton Farm was Michael Page, who competed and won medals at both the 1964 and 1968 Summer Olympics. In fact, Page met his wife at Hamilton Farm. “They’ve had a very long and loving life together, and stayed in the horse business,” Jenkins says. “We have a commemorative gift naming program where individuals can name a stall in honor of a special horse. Page made a very generous gift to name a stall after the horses that he rode in the Olympic Games. He brought his whole family back for the dedication of the stalls. It was really magnificent. It speaks to what Gladstone means to some of these athletes that really did live and train here many years ago.”

Hamilton Farm is listed on the National Register of Historic Places. “While fundraising to support our country’s high-performance athletes is the organization’s primary mission, it also takes funding to maintain the facility annually and to make current and future capital improvements,” Jenkins says. “It’s one thing
that we want to make sure that we are able to do, but it’s largely when you have to look for generous people in the community who really want to see Gladstone’s Hamilton Farm continue to be part of this community and in really top shape so that we can continue to have competitions, training sessions, and community
events here,” Jenkins says. “It really lends itself nicely to a whole host of wonderful types of events that can be part of this community, and the equestrian community.” For more information about the Hamilton Farm, the United States Equestrian Team Foundation, and how to donate, visit www.uset. org.

NJ Starz: Terrie Carr Hometown: Cedar Knolls
T
By Steve Sears errie Carr of WDHA 105.5 FM radio in Cedar Knolls branded herself years ago just by her love of music and the caring life she lives. Still, what a quote! “Music is the closest thing to time travel that we will ever have in our lives,” Carr says. “It takes us back to places in our lives that we wish we could go to again, as well as places that we never want to go to again, but it’s the closest thing to time travel that we have. And I think that’s why it really connects with people so much.” And Carr has the world’s best job. “I’m a program director of a radio station, and I run a brand. My job is about two things, and that’s ratings and revenue. It’s a business, so I consider myself first and foremost a music lover, but I’m a businesswoman, and you have to be a businesswoman to be successful in the business.” When you speak with Carr, who is also on air from 10 a.m. – 3 p.m. weekdays, and listen to the passion she has for music and radio, you know she was destined for her field since she was young. Carr, who attended William Paterson University in the mid 1980s for a brief period prior to leaving for a radio stint, promised her dad that, if the job fell through, she’d head back to school. It never happened. “I was very fortunate to have the most supportive parents, because they were very artistic; they were music lovers themselves, and they could not have supported what I wanted to do more. They were always super supportive of my career,” she says. Carr’s love for radio started when she was a child. “I thought the radio was the most seductive thing, because there was always a great air of mystery about it,” she recalls. “I wanted to know who those people were, where they were, and who let them talk on the radio. I was a very big fan as a little kid, because as I said my parents were very musical. They loved music: Rolling Stones, Beach Boys, Beatles. Everything was always playing in the house. I loved listening to WABC, Harry Harrison, Ron Lundy – all those deejays I grew up listening to. It’s funny, I used to take my dad’s car keys and go sit in the car and put the radio on, and my dad would
say, ‘No, the battery is going to run out!’” Carr started in AM radio with WRAN of Dover. “I went in for the first time - I worked on Christmas actually - and I just kind of babysat a reel-to-reel player that was playing Christmas songs, and I grabbed the microphone every so often and said, ‘You’re listening to a Holiday Festival of Music,’ and I thought it was the greatest thing that had ever happened to me.” She then worked at WRNJ in Hackettstown, and then headed to WPST in Philadelphia. “It was an awesome place for me,” she says of the latter location, “being a really young, on-air personality. I wasn’t even old enough to drink in bars, and here I had a full-time radio show. That was really exciting.” WDHA, however, held a special place in her young heart. She started there initially in December 1989. “It was the music that I loved, it was the station I grew up listening to,” Carr says. “When I was able to meet Curtis Kay, he was a person that I grew up listening to, that was very exciting for me. So, DHA was always sort of like the prize for me, because I had such a passion for the station even before I got here.” Carr, an only child, felt radio was good company for her, and some of that company included Alison Steele, The Nightbird. “I couldn’t believe there was a woman playing rock music on the radio,” Carr says. “She was so mysterious, and she had the wind chimes, and she would say, ‘Come fly with me, Alison Steele, the Nightbird.’ I remember my dad told me that Jimi Hendrix wrote a song (“Nightbird Flying”) about her, and I thought, ‘Wow, Jimi Hendrix wrote a song about this deejay.’” Carr then also tuned in often to another radio legend, WPLJ’s Carol Miller. “They (Steele and Miller) were two of the women that were on the radio, but they weren’t reading the news or traffic or a weather report. They were actually ‘in the music’ like the rest of the men were, and there weren’t many.” She then describes being “in the music.” “You sort of feel like when you’re on the air that you are kind of one with the music you’re playing, because everything is all together. You’re together with the music and you’re presenting the music, so you become kind of one with

the music, and that’s what really becomes your radio show.” Carr’s first run with WDHA ended in 2005, and then she landed at Sirius Satellite Radio for a year, where she did Rolling Stones Radio, and she also had stops at
MTV Network, WXAQ Q104.3, and WHTG GROCK prior to heading back home to ‘The Rock of New Jersey” in 2010. Did she ever feel she’d return? “I always thought that I would, I truly did,” she says. “I’ve always continued on page 22

continued from page 20 felt that DHA for me was a home. And I worked at different radio stations, but there was always something special about this station, and about this station’s listeners and advertising community, and people in the community that I just loved.” One of Carr’s most popular WDHA features was “Box of Rock,” interviews with rock stars which has morphed into a webisode series called “Reconnect with Rockers.” She explains. “It’s a 20–30-minute Zoom hang, so they’re like little mini-TV shows. I’ve had everybody on from Nancy Wilson of Heart to Rick Nielsen of Cheap Trick to every great guitar player, like Steve Vai, and Michael Anthony from Van Halen. Everybody has been on with me - we’re probably about almost 300 webisodes in, and it’s been awesome. We update it every week with new artists. It’s been amazing. I’ve had the chance to speak to some of my idols, like Suzi Quatro.” Very close to Carr’s heart is her work with “Rock ‘N Ruff,” a feature that she started at another radio station, where she encourages pet adoption and finds homes for cats and dogs who need them. “We do a lot of work with the rescue community,” Carr says. “There was a statistic that somebody once gave me where they said something like two million dogs and one million cats at the time were euthanized every year through no fault of their own - and they were highly adoptable animals. And that was a figure I just couldn’t get out of my mind. I said to myself, ‘This is just horrific! What is anybody doing about this?’” Carr took action, suggesting to local animal shelters that their
cats and dogs be transported to the radio station, where they could be seen via photo in the studio, outdoors, or on a sofa on the station website. “They (animal shelters) take the best care that they can, but I wanted a different perception. People would say, ‘Oh my God, what beautiful animals. Where did you get them? How much did they cost?’ You can get them at the animal shelter. I just wanted to use my voice to spread the word. Instead of spending $3,000 for an animal, why not adopt? Pay the adoption fee which is usually $100. You want something big, something small, you want something young, you want something older, you can find it at the shelter.” Carr is quick to point out that WDHA is not just a north Jersey station. It’s heard in 12 counties. “We have a giant audience, and we really have been for almost 50 years a part of people’s lives. We have first generation, second generation, and third generation WDHA listeners. It’s a generational way of life for a lot of people.” Those listeners were always a huge part of what she did, and her invite back to the station she wholeheartedly embraced. “When they invited me back, I could not have been happier, and I could not have said ‘Yes” fast enough. I was super excited to come back!” Carr enjoys doing what she loves, and most of that is because her audience is along for the ride. “I always say to our listeners, ‘My show becomes your show,’ because that’s what my station is about. My station is about listeners, community, and my artist’s community. All of our artists feel a very, very strong connection with this
Terrie Carr
radio station; a lot of big names have passed through here and always make time to come by and see us. And it’s our advertising community, too. So, it’s kind of three prong for me, but it’s part of us all collectively being in the music together, and I don’t think that people have any more passion when you’re a music fan than for the music. To become one with the music definitely makes for a better radio show.”

Morris Museum Announces Exhibition of Federico Solmi’s Work That Features VR and Video Installations and New Mixed Media Works
ederico Solmi: Joie De Vivre is the first exhibition to explore the artist’s unique process—which combines traditional art practices and digital technologies— through a case study of Solmi’s most ambitious videopainting to date, The Bathhouse (2020). This monumental, 20-foot-wide, five-channel, multi-sensory video installation depicts an excess of revelry by leaders from across world history in the setting of a Roman bathhouse. It is displayed alongside a selection of never-before-seen preparatory drawings, storyboards, and sketches. The exhibition will be on view September 16, 2022 – February 19, 2023 at the Morris Museum. There will be a Member Preview on Thursday, September 15. Federico Solmi is a multimedia artist who examines the absurdities of the human experience through the lenses of colonialism, nationalism, religion, and consumerism. Born in 1973 in Bologna, Italy, Solmi has lived and worked in Brooklyn, New York, since 1999. His figurative narratives reflect the perspective of a cultural voyeur in the United States, questioning the nationalistic and revisionist histories often presented as historical truths. Solmi creates narrative video sequences built from traditional techniques of painting, drawing, and sculpture combined with technological approaches of animation, video game design, programming, and virtual reality. Through these narrative video constructs, Solmi presents a satirical, dystopian vision of lurid colors and grotesque imagery which challenge society’s constructed memory and historical mythos. The art of Paolo Uccello, Giorgio Morandi, and Giorgio di Chirico serve as reference for his visual compositions, while the writings of Howard Zinn, Noam Chomsky, and Oriana Fallaci serve as inspiration
R CALL FO R YOU L VIRTUA G! N I T E ME
for his social and political commentary. This juxtaposition of preparatory work alongside the finished product allows visitors to develop an understanding of the processes undertaken to create the final video installation. Adjacent to this is an interactive, Virtual-Reality (VR) installation, The Bacchanalian Ones (2020), composed of three VR headsets with accompanying 3D-printed character masks. The visitor is invited to enter the world of The Bathhouse as one of three characters—George Washington, Colombo (Christopher Columbus), or Empress Theodora— wearing a VR headset and manipulating hand-held controllers allows them to embody the chosen perspective through the eyes of one of these historical avatars. Thus empowered, the visitor creates and controls the narrative. Also on display are seven new drawings (white pen, ink, gouache on wood panel) and six new pastels (soft pastel, white pen and ink on wood panel) created expressly for the exhibition, as well as four hand painted artist books (acrylic paint, gold leaf, and mixed media), the 20-foot-wide painting The Great Debauchery (2019; acrylic paint, gold and silver leaf, pen, ink, and mixed media on three wood panels with carved wood relief), and four additional video-paintings (acrylic paint, gold and silver leaf, LED screens, and video), including the eight-foot-wide The Grand Masquerade (2018). In association with the exhibition, the Morris Museum will produce a 112-page, color, fully illustrated book, Federico Solmi: Escape Into the Metaverse, by Black Dog Publishing, London. This exhibition is organized by Michelle Graves, Assistant Curator, Morris Museum. Federico Solmi: Joie De Vivre is made possible through the

New Help for Veterans and Active Military from Project
hese unprecedented times are only getting more concerning and contributing to a higher level of anxiety, particularly among our Veteran population. The constant streaming of mostly discouraging news, along with a reduced ability to freely mingle with others to keep spirits up, makes it difficult for many military and veterans to maintain their morale. A Warrior’s Welcome, Transitioning and Remembering, is a military and veteran’s community, wanting to help those who have given so much. A new secure place for Veterans to come together to help each other through issues they are having, is being launched by Project Help. “The meetings will be facilitated by Reno Schwind, a Marine Corp veteran and resident of Sussex County,” said Sandy Mitchell. During a veteran’s military service, their base, ship or shore station is a place to call home – a safe haven to share in the company of some of the finest men and women with a mission in common. A Warrior’s Welcome aims to create that same spirit of brotherhood at its weekly gatherings. A Warrior’s Welcome will consist only of active service and veterans, and will provide a safe place for all veterans to communicate and engage with other veterans on a level that is simply not possible in most social networking environments. A Warrior’s Welcome gathering encourages informal discussions on a wide range of interests – from problems
they are dealing with, local community concerns, uplifting stories and humor and other topics as the group determines as favorable at the time. Quite often the discussions are about issues these warriors are trying to handle. With a number of members suffering from combatrelated and other health issues, AWW’s weekly network support gatherings provides a safe environment where veterans can discuss the situations they face each day. As deemed necessary and desired, there will be experts in the field join the meeting. Once every other month there will be a webinar that is open to all to help with issues, answer questions and bring in experts to supply real answers to the problems faced by our warriors. In support of the Military/Veteran community at this difficult time, they invite you to join A Warrior’s Welcome via the following link: https://projecthelp.us/warriorswelcome/ AWW will quickly evolve into a hybrid event, meaning it will be virtual and live at the same time, so more service men will be able to participate. This networking group is for men only. There will, in time, be a group for women only. All questions can be directed to Reno Schwind at renoschwind@gmail.com or Sandy Mitchell at Sandy@ ProjectHelp.us. Need an urgent response? Call
