Local Mom Authors Trilogy on Autism
I
By: Evan Wechman t’s tough enough for people to survive the loss of their parents or grandparents. However, for local interior designer turned author, Cindy Gelormini, the loss of her beloved son Robbie was both shocking and painful. Robbie was a sweet, loving young son who suffered from Autism and its subsequent seizures. Unfortunately, this led to his passing away in November of 2017 at the age of 21. Many parents would just become hardened or stay in their home all day, but due to Gelormini’s strength and faith, she wanted to teach students, parents, and even other teachers about autism. In early 2021, Gelormini released a trilogy book series titled Robbie’s World and His Spectrum of Adventures! The author who also illustrated the books credited the creation of the series as part of her “ healing process.” Though much of the work was completed during the pandemic, the author remained on task and the words and pictures came easily to her. In her children’s book series, she created the character of Robbie the Penguin who has autism so children can relate to the adventures of Robbie. Some may wonder where the idea of a penguin with autism came from, and Gelormini believes Robbie was trying to send her a message from heaven. Shortly after his death, when his mother went to the group home he was living at to collect his belongings, she found toy penguins almost everywhere. She also found out that the last movie he watched was the classic “Happy Feet.” Gelormini who has a strong Christian faith concluded “Robbie’s trying to tell me something,” and the idea of the book series was born. During the last year, Gelormini has tried to get the books into the hands of as many teachers as possible throughout the state. She wants to destigmatize some of the negative and incorrect assumptions about autism. Robbie, like many other students with autism were bullied in public schools because they were misunderstood and seen as weird.
The local author found that when schoolteachers read the books to their students, they adored Robbie the Penguin. Gelormini said the “kids fell in love with Robbie the Penguin.” In addition to the stories involving Robbie the Penguin, at the end of every chapter, Gelormini offers a segment called “Mom’s Minute”. In this special section, the author explains the real-life events which the story was based on and teaches the readers how autism affects the behaviors of people with this diagnosis. According to Gelormini, the universal message of love is spread throughout her books. Throughout the stories, the mother tells Robbie the Penguin “I love you just the way you are.” This is something the author feels all children can connect with. Unfortunately, many children with autism have confided to the author that they wish their parents loved them the way she loved Robbie. While Gelormini has been promoting her work for over a year now, she is aware there is much more she can do to educate the public about autism. She can be found advocating for parents and children with Autism on her podcast, “Spectrum Perspectives,”. This can be found on Spotify, Apple, or YouTube. Her mission has many parts as she wants to plan retreats for parents of children with autism so they can form friendships, relax, and share ideas for assisting their children. Gelormini has already started some support groups for these parents. She feels such experiences can be very instrumental in helping these parents because it can often be a long, and isolating experience for them. The author knows firsthand how lonely the process can be and that such parents “never get a break.” She wants to provide some relief to these hard-working mothers and fathers while building a more positive community for children with autism. She credits her strong connection to her faith for being able to persevere after her son’s death and remain an advocate. She firmly believes God wanted her to “love him (Robbie) the way he is.”
Cindy and Robbie Gelormini.
She also has a larger dream of using the book sales to buy a farm and build several group homes on it. Here, children can ride horses, make friends, and participate in a lot of outdoor activities that Robbie enjoyed. “It drives me and pushes me forward,” said the author. Whether this dream turns into a reality is uncertain, but Gelormini’s message of love for others endears her to local schools. According to her, “I would love to see the books in every elementary school in New Jersey.” The Robbie’s World series can be found on Amazon.com.

The Sounds of Winter
T
By Sally Barmakian he rustling of leaves is no longer. The air is take-your-breathaway cold. The bears and other animals are hibernating, and birds have flown south for to warmer weather. There is often a heavy silence that permeates winter. When the weather is blustery, people are cozy inside with warm blankets and roaring fireplaces. Fewer people are walking outside, even dogs wear coats as they quickly take their daily stroll. Then it happens: snow. Snow silently falls, feathery and magical, covering cars and rooftops. Changing the grass to a blanket of white, so pure and beautiful. Silence while the snow gently falls for hours. Si-
lence as the activity outside comes to a halt. Silence until the first snowplow or shovel hits the ground. Winter is telling us to hibernate too. Enjoy the warmth of the indoors as we appreciate nature’s rest. Read, draw, knit, cook, write, watch movies, call friends and family, clean out a drawer, start a long-awaited project, play board games, enjoy a warm mug of hot chocolate or a hearty pot of soup. Embrace the stillness. And after a while, the sun comes out and the sky is clear. The desires to ice skate, snowboard, ski, sled and walk in the crunchy snow come to life. Bundled in warm clothing, head out to make a snowman, start a snowball fight or make snow angels. The sounds
of laughter and activity fill the air as nature is full of adventures. Red cardinals perch on snow-covered evergreens. The wind whistles through the bare trees and stings your face. An owl glides overhead on silent wings. Icicles drip from the gutters. The wonders of nature are all around us. Listen for the sounds of winter. Even the silence is beautiful.

Glory Days: 2005 Randolph High School Boys Lacrosse
T
By Steve Sears hey were a true Cinderella team, a wonderful mix of seniors, juniors, and sophomores – and a .500 team – that made an improbable run in the 2005 Group III state lacrosse playoffs, ultimately capturing the crown. All the games the Randolph Rams won were against higher seeded clubs and on the road, including a huge upset over the state’s #1 ranked team, the Ridgewood Maroons, in the semifinals. John Lade was a sophomore defenseman. “There was definitely a good chemistry,” he says. “There wasn’t a disconnect between the seniors, sophomores, and the juniors. There was a good flow. The coaches knew the chemistry of the team very well. They knew what buttons to push and who to push. It was a good group to be around.” “That lacrosse team was the tightest that I have associated with any team,” then-head coach, Bill Scanlon, says. “They were brothers. They were students of the game.” Current head coach, John Naslonski, was back then assistant coach and defensive coordinator. “We played in the state championships each year. In 2006 and
2007 we lost, but in 2005 we won. The ’06 and ’07 were more talented teams, but the ’05 team - just the grit and determination that those kids had, it was just remarkable. The 2005 guys didn’t take a play off. They lost some games early in the year, went on a great run at the end, but even when they lost, they were tough to deal with.” “They did not like to lose.” Midfielder Josh Wolfson adds, “We probably barely made it into the state playoffs by the skin of our teeth. We didn’t go anywhere in the county tournament, but once we got to the playoffs, something clicked. That group of guys, they were probably the best that I’ve seen probably even past my college lacrosse career.” The Rams first defeated #12 Vernon, 17 -6, and then #4 Don Bosco, 13 -5, setting up an encounter with powerhouse Ridgewood. “We started the second half,” Scanlon recalls, “and it was a close score. But all of a sudden, we looked up and it was 7 – 4, Ridgewood. I looked at Nas (Naslonski) and said, “I think the bottom’s falling out.” The Rams, however, were fighters. “Well, not too many minutes later, it’s 7 - 7.” Ridgewood would go ahead again, 9 -7, but goals from Alex Decker and Corey Lindell knotted the score, and a Mike Grover

goal with just over a minute to play completed his hat trick and sealed the 10 – 9 shocker. “I recall the Ridgewood game being a really exciting upset -- they were a traditional powerhouse, while we were relatively under the radar -- so that win gave us huge momentum heading into the Group III finals vs. West Morris,” Grover says. “17 years later I’m a bit fuzzy on the details
of my hat trick, but I recall Les Wade and Corey Zindel unselfishly assisting me on a couple of the goals.” Sophomore goalie, Mike Horowitz, had 12 saves in the game. “He stepped up and particularly in that Ridgewood game,” Wolfson remembers. “He was a key part of that; he was making some unbelievable stops.” continued on page 7

Glory Days... continued from page 6 “Playing Ridgewood, we were playing with house money,” Horowitz says. “They were #1, so we really had no expectations in that game. The game against Ridgewood is more memorable than the state championship because it was totally unexpected.” The state title game pitted the Rams against the West Morris Central Wolfpack, who they had defeated in the regular season for the first time ever. The 8 – 6 victory on June 4, 2005 won the championship and concluded an improbable state playoff run. Kyle McGrath was a midfielder with
Wolfson on the 2005 squad. “I think that was what was so cool about our team. We weren’t like Chatham and Madison. We weren’t the blueblood program. We were like a little bit of misfits and athletes. Everybody kind of looked at us and we’re like, ‘Huh?’ And then they said, ‘Wow! These guys – they can play!’ We earned so much respect that year, and we just had fun while we were doing it.” If he could, Lade would relive 2005 in a heartbeat. “Absolutely. That season was such a special one. It just was kind of like a breakthrough for Randolph lacrosse.”

Randolph - From the Mayor’s Desk
I
am pleased to greet you all as Randolph’s newest Mayor. Each year in the first week of January, the seven elected Township Council members reorganize for the coming year. I was honored to be elected mayor this year, alongside Lou Nisivoccia as Deputy Mayor. Fortunately for me, four current Council members have already served as Mayors and have offered their support and expertise. By way of introduction, my husband and I have been living in Randolph for over 20 years and have raised our four children here, all whom attended our Randolph Schools. I have a Bachelor of Engineering and Master of Science - Computer Science from Stevens Institute of Technology. I’ve enjoyed volunteering in Randolph for many years. Some of my volunteer highlights include serving as Commissioner on the Randolph Township Board of Adjustment, chairing the Center Grove Playground Construction Committee, serving on the Randolph Education Foundation as an original board member, founding the “Randolph Rocks 5K” road race as well as the “Second Pair Project” to provide clothing for Randolph students in need. February is a busy month at Town Hall as we are in the midst of our budget sea-
son. Fortunately, the Township is on a solid financial footing from previous years of prudent financial management. The Township Council has three budget meetings planned this Winter: Saturday January 29th at 8:30 a.m., Thursday February 3rd at 5:00 p.m. and Saturday February 26th at 8:30 a.m. All of our meetings are open to the public; we welcome your input! The meeting schedule is listed on our website (https://www.randolphnj.org) and announced in our official newspapers. In November, our Township Manager Steve Mountain announced his intention to retire effective June 30th. In our council-manager form of municipal government under the Faulkner Act, the Township Manager functions as the chief executive and administrative official. Therefore, one of the Council’s most important tasks this year will be to hire his replacement. The Council has hired a consultant firm that specializes in this area of recruitment. We are early in the process, but we are inspired by the depth of experience within the candidates who have come forward so far. With the possibility of winter storms, it is important to stay informed. On the front page of our Township website there
is a button labeled “Stay Informed!” If you click on it, you can sign up for Township information broadcast systems and view news, events, and emergency notices. The Township Council is working to implement our Municipal Diversity and Inclusion Community Recommendations Report, which is available for viewing on our Township website. One of the recommendations is to highlight multicultural celebrations and diversity heritage months. In February, we are pleased to recognize Black History month. Additionally, February is NJ 211 month. The motto of NJ 211 is “Need Help? Start Here.” By dialing 2-1-1, you can reach an operator who will direct you to the appropriate local services. You can obtain information for yourself or on behalf of another individual in need. NJ 211 is free, available 24/7, confidential, and available in any language through a language service. Help is available for problems with utility bills, unemployment, mental health, addiction, child care, housing, senior care, and thousands of other issues. I am looking forward to the year ahead serving as Mayor and working alongside our experienced Council and Township Manager. If I can assist you in any way,
please reach out to me. My contact information is located on the Township website. There is always something positive happening in Randolph! Stay safe, and enjoy living in Randolph! Regards, Marie Potter Mayor, Randolph Township 2022

Denville Vocalist Living Her Rock ’n’ Roll Dream
By JillianRisberg usically she was a late bloomer. But when Christy Nilsen decided to pursue her rock star dreams she went all in, crediting a chance New York City vocal coach for giving her the training and confidence she needed to cultivate her singing voice. “I didn’t start singing in bands until I was 41,” says Nilsen, adding that as a child she sang in grade school and church. “But singing solos in public made me very nervous back then so I focused on dancing as my creative outlet.” According to the artist, there is nothing more powerful and cathartic than belting out a little Drowning Pool to get out stuff we may otherwise hold in. She considers herself a cover band rock vocalist and has no real interest in writing original music, instead savoring singing songs that people already know and enjoy. “I feel I’m versatile in that my voice allows me to cover male and female lead songs that span multiple genres,” Nilsen says her band Rock Head plays tried and true favorites, as well as songs to surprise the crowd, while working in interesting arrangements and mashups. “My bandmates are super talented musicians and great people; I feel lucky to be their singer.” And she enjoys making everyone’s day a little better. “If someone comes up to the band and thanks us for a performance it is incredibly rewarding for me,” the vocalist says. Nilsen says her fans have much in common, in that they are cool, fun people who want to enjoy life and have a good time. “So to anyone who has seen me and my bands perform, I say a big THANK YOU,” says the artist, who is a premier
sought after New Jersey talent frequently rocking the stage at Rockaway River Barn, and Randolph’s Black River Barn and Mr. Crabby’s. Any song in Nilsen’s vocal range that allows her to belt out is a song she loves to sing. “Bobby McGee used to be my favorite when I started 10 years ago,” the vocalist says. “Now I am psyched to sing Maneskin’s cover of The Four Seasons’ hit, Beggin.” When it comes to her creative process, Nielsen says the band often throws out a song during practice to see how it feels. And she listens to the songs she needs to prepare for her next rehearsal, playing them on a continuous loop until the words permeate her brain. The Internet has been helpful in terms of promoting the band’s shows, communicating with the audience/venues, and connecting musical people with one another. The pandemic, however, has been a kick in the teeth for the cover band scene, according to Nilsen. “I’m an optimist and confident all will be well eventually and we can get back to doing what we love, at the frequency we did before,” says the artist. Following this path made perfect sense, as it is in Nilsen’s blood. Her father and grandfather were accomplished accordion players and her brothers sang and/or played instruments. She never thought much of her singing at home as a young child. But if she hadn’t pursued music, the vocalist says she would probably be crying a lot. “My life would have a gaping hole,” Nilsen says. “I’m a Market Research Consultant by vocation, so being able to have a creative outlet like singing helps keep my life in

balance.” She started her journey in 2011 with classic rock cover band, Rock-it Science; followed by co-founding acoustic duo Lyric Rising. For the past five years (and counting) she has been in four-piece rock cover band Rock Head and recently started singing with Mid Life Crisis as one of their female vocalists. continued on page 11

Denville Vocalist... continued from page 10 “I also have had the opportunity to do side projects along the way, such as Silent Night, a Trans Siberian Orchestra tribute band, as well as a few shows later this year with a Cher tribute band as a backup vocalist,” says the artist. Her musical influences run the gamut: Nilsen is a huge fan of 70s disco and R&B, 80’s rock, and has a guilty pleasure for soft rock. She would also love to get into a yacht rock band, calling that era full of untapped
potential in the cover band scene. For this Denville-based rocker, it’s never too late. The vocalist encourages anyone with a passion for something to keep that mindset. When she was younger, she never could have imagined the trajectory she would take. “It has been such a joy in my life,” Nilsen says of her rock fantasy. “Get out of your own way, have faith in yourself, put together a plan and you may be surprised what may happen.”

A Valentine’s Day Story
L
By Richard Mabey Jr. oneliness in life is often disguised with a smile, a song in one’s voice, and a happy go lucky attitude. Yet, the truth of the matter is that often times, the people who seem so happy on the outside, are actually very lonely on the inside. One such person, who fit this scenario, comes to mind. Sheila worked as a counter waitress at the old Woolworth’s Five and Dime, just off of The Green in Morristown. She would often hum old hymns, while cleaning off her infamous counter. It was a world of piping hot coffee, cheeseburgers, and soda. And, there really was nothing that could be compared to the counter at Woolworth’s. It wasn’t a diner, it wasn’t a full-fledged restaurant, and it was not a fast-food place. It was the one and only, Woolworth’s counter. And, Sheila was the Queen Bee of the entire operation. Sheila was 64 years old. On the outside, she seemed tough as nails. But, as you got to know her even a little bit, it became apparent that she was a most sensitive soul. I first met Sheila in the Winter of 1988. I was 34 years old and had just began working in the Public Relations Department of AT&T on Mount Kemble Avenue.
I can’t remember why it was that I first went into the Woolworth’s that fateful day in early January of 1988. Something drew me there. Perhaps it was to walk down Memory Lane, one lunch hour. To go back to a simpler time, when I was a child and my mom and I would go to the Woolworth’s Five and Dime. Mom would always buy me a little toy there. I remember that I ate lunch at the counter, after walking about the store, that strange and bewildering day in early January of 1988. I ordered a grilled cheese sandwich and a hot cup of tea. The grilled cheese came with a handful of potato chips and a slice of pickle. I remember all so well, that the counter wasn’t all that busy that day. So, I had a chance to talk to Sheila. Small talk. She asked me where I worked. I told her at the AT&T office on Mount Kemble Avenue. When I finished my grilled cheese and took my last sip of hot tea, Sheila simply said to me, “come visit us again, sometime.” I told her I would. Well, whatever it was that first drew me to the Woolworth’s, called me back. Sheila’s kind words of “come visit us again, sometime,” haunted me. So, I found myself returning, time and again, to the infamous Woolworth’s just off The Green in

Morristown. In due time, Sheila shared her story with me. I looked to her as a kindly aunt. Something about Sheila, touched the inner chambers of my heart center. I found it fascinating that this woman who had been
granted a bad hand of cards in life, was all so happy and cheerful as she served one person after another, coffee and sandwiches. Sheila lived alone in an apartment. continued on page 13

Valentine’s Day... continued from page 12 Her husband had passed away when she was in her early forties. She had married a gentleman who was considerably older than her. Her son, her only child, was killed in a car accident when he was in his early twenties. I never asked Sheila questions, I would just simply listen to her stories. At the time, I was blessed to have my columns and articles published in a regional weekly newspaper that was circulated in my hometown of Lincoln Park and surrounding communities. After having had lunch at the Woolworth’s a few times, I felt comfortable to show Sheila my articles. Sheila was a great source of encouragement to me. Her kind words about my writings, meant a great deal to me. Weaving through the tapestry of Sheila’s life story, that she shared with me little by little, was the thread of her dream to retire at 65. Sheila’s birthday was in September, the same month as my birthday was. Somewhere along the line, of our friendship that spanned across the Woolworth’s lunch counter, Sheila told me that she was 64 and would be retiring in September. I don’t know what it was. I really have no idea what inspired me. But a few days before Valentine’s Day, I bought a box of candy, with a card for Sheila. To this day, I don’t know what inspired me. It wasn’t that I was looking to date Sheila. But rather I just wanted to bring a bit of sunshine and kindness into Sheila’s life. For she often told me that I reminded her of her late son. In 1988, Valentine’s Day fell on a Sunday. So, I gave Sheila her box of candy and her card on the Friday before Valentine’s Day. It worked out kind of nice, because on
Fridays my boss would always let me have a little extra time on my lunch break. However, I do need to note that I earned every minute of that privilege, for I would often eat lunch at my desk, while I was working to meet a tight deadline. Sheila almost cried when I handed her the box of candy and the Valentine’s Day card. She apologized for not getting me anything. It was truly a heart-felt moment. Sheila then told me that she hadn’t gotten a Valentine’s Day gift and card in ages. Then I ate my grilled cheese sandwich, sipped me tea, and wished Sheila a happy weekend. In September of 1988, Sheila did retire from Woolworth’s. I went into the Woolworth’s one time after she retired. It was all too sad, not to see Sheila happily bring the customers their lunches. No longer was there someone working behind the counter, singing the old hymns. A sadness echoed at that lunch counter. I was never to see Sheila again. I didn’t even know the town that she lived in. I never even knew her last name. Sometimes the loneliest person has a big smile on their face. They seem so happy go lucky. They create an illusionary aura that their life is one big bowl of roses. But the truth is that they are crying on the inside. Sometimes we need to take the time to really listen to another person’s story, to really care, to have compassion. For we may well be the only person who has shown them a bit of kindness, in a long, long time. Richard Mabey Jr. is a freelance writer. He can be reached at richardmabeyjr@ hotmail.com.

Show Your Heart Some Love
W
hile heart disease is a leading cause of death for both men and women in the United States, many of the risk factors associated with the condition can be controlled with dietary and lifestyle changes. By centering your meals around better-for-you ingredients and recipes, you can show your heart some extra love. Consider walnuts, which are a heart-healthy food certified by the American Heart Association. More than 25 years of research shows walnuts may play a key role in heart health. In fact, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration approved one of the first qualified health claims for a whole food, finding that eating 1 1/2 ounces of walnuts per day as part of a low-saturated fat and low-cholesterol diet while not increasing caloric intake may reduce the risk of coronary heart disease. Additionally, walnuts are the only nut significantly high in omega-3s, with 2 1/2 grams of alpha-linolenic acid per ounce. Walnuts can add this essential nutrient to dishes like these American Heart Association Heart-Check Mark certified recipes for Greek Cucumber Walnut Bites and Banana Bread Overnight Oats. Find more information and heart-healthy recipes at walnuts.org/heart-health. Greek Cucumber Walnut Bites Recipe courtesy of Beth Stark, RDN, LDN on behalf of the California Walnut Board

Using small spoon, gently scoop out and discard center of each cucumber slice, leaving bottom and sides intact. In small bowl, stir 6 tablespoons chopped walnuts and hummus. Spoon walnut-hummus mixture into each cucumber slice and top with reserved chopped walnuts, feta cheese and quartered tomatoes.

A Fresh, Flavorful Take on Family Dinner
I
f your family ever gets stuck in a dinner routine rut, it can feel like you’re eating the same recipes over and over again. However, this fresh and unique recipe for Cuban Chicken with Salsa Fresca might inspire you to think outside the culinary box and give your family members the satisfactory flavor they desire at dinnertime. With fresh ingredients and a wholesome flavor, this meal is perfect to add to your dinner menu rotation. The chicken is full of flavor and baked using multiple seasonings to create a Cuban-like taste. The salsa fresca, which is added on top of the chicken, is a tad sweet with grapefruit segments and juice, but also satisfying with jicama, onion, cilantro and jalapeno. It adds so much color to your plate, and all these flavors mash together for something unique and special. To start, create the marinade for your chicken and let it rest to allow all those wonderful spices to do their jobs. Set it in the fridge for 30 minutes or more. Next, it’s time to make the salsa fresca. Start by chopping red onion and jicama then add grapefruit and jalapeno to the mix. Add
grapefruit juice, olive oil and, finally, cilantro. Stir well with a large spoon until everything is combined. Once the chicken is baked, cut it and assemble. The final result is a juicy chicken breast with a sweet yet crisp salsa topping. The flavors in this dish harmonize together to bring you a bite you have likely never experienced before. This meal is also nutritious with fresh fruit and lean chicken, so it’s a meal almost anyone can enjoy, even if you’re on a healthy eating kick.

Cuban Chicken with Salsa Fresca Servings: 5 1 cup grapefruit juice 2 tablespoons olive oil 2 teaspoons garlic powder 2 teaspoons cumin 2 teaspoons paprika 1 teaspoon crushed red pepper 1 1/4 pounds boneless, skinless chicken breasts Salsa Fresca:

I Remember Mom: The Blessing of the Pink Sprinkling Can
I
By Richard Mabey Jr. n early February of 2003, my mom, Janet Kemmerer Mabey, had just turned 70. It was only the month before that Mom had an eight-hour brain surgery to fill an arterial aneurysm in the Circle of Willis. So, in early February we had a big party for Mom. It served a dual purpose. First, for family and friends to unite to congratulate Mom on her successful brain surgery. And then secondly, to celebrate Mom’s 70th birthday. It was a most wonderful time, a joyous moment, a time for friends and relatives to fellowship and break bread with one another. At Mom’s birthday, there was this little card table set up that abounded with gifts. One of the gifts that Mom received that day was a pink sprinkling can. I confess that I do not remember who gave the sprinkling can to Mom that day. Something I deeply regret now. To say that this pink sprinkling can inspired Mom, is quite an understatement. When Spring Time came, Mom put her new sprinkling can to good work. For throughout the entire front yard, westward side yard, and backyard of the old Mabey Homestead, Mom planted a most breath-taking array of flowers. What I remember most, is the little patch of tulips that Mom planted on our westward side yard. At the time, I was working at an ad agency in East Hanover. I had the benefit that the ad agency began shop at nine o’clock. It was the first job that I had ever had that didn’t begin work at eight o’clock. I remember so very well, just before I would leave for work, Mom would be filling her sprinkling can with water, while humming “Amazing Grace”
most of the time. It is simply a most cherished memory that I hold in my heart, of my beloved mother. As I would drive up Mabey Lane to Route 202, each weekday morning, I would see Mom gently sprinkling water upon the cluster of tulips. We would wave to each other, as I awaited for a break in traffic to begin my journey to work each morning. As simple as this true-life tale is, it holds a most precious and loving memory in the deepest chords of my heart. To this day, I do not know who gave Mom the sprinkling water can for her 70th birthday. However, I do know that it provided a source of great joy to my mom. Whoever gave the sprinkling can to Mom, knew that her outdoor flower gardens were very near and dear to Mom’s heart. I’m all for giving a person one of those gift cards for a restaurant or store. It does give the person the chance to choose what they want to buy at a store or order at a restaurant. However, there’s a lot to be said about sitting down and thinking about purchasing a special gift to give a loved one. I know that this little story will have the chance to be read by many. Perhaps, the very person who gave Mom the sprinkling can will read this little true-life tale. And then maybe the mystery of who actually did give Mom that dear and precious gift will be solved. Stranger things have happened. Richard Mabey Jr. is a freelance writer. He can be reached at richardmabeyjr@hotmail.com. Please put on the subject line: I Remember Mom.

Celebrating St. Valentine’s Day with “Our Song”
F
By Henry M. Holden ebruary 14, Valentine’s Day, is a day dedicated to love. Love means caring for someone, putting their desires before your own, and having a real interest in their pleasure. The thing about romantic love is many of us find it hard to put it into words, and brain chemistry plays a role. High levels of dopamine and a related hormone, norepinephrine, are released during attraction. These chemicals make us giddy, energetic, and euphoric, even leading to decreased appetite and insomnia – which means you can be so “in love” that you can’t eat and can’t sleep, and your heart skips so many beats. Expressing love is perfect for anniversaries, weddings, engagement parties, Valentine’s Day, or for no special reason. One way is to “adopt” a song that the two of you heard together, perhaps on your first date and that will be your “Our Song.” Author Nicholas Sparks expressed it one way. “The best love is the kind that awakens the soul; that makes us reach for more, that plants the fire in our hearts and brings peace to our minds. That’s what I hope to give you forever.” — The Notebook
Poet Elizabeth Barrett Browning defined love a different way. “I love you not only for what you are but for what I am when I am with you. I love you not only for what you have made of yourself but for what you are making of me. I love you for the part of me that you bring out.” “The First Time, Ever I Saw Your Face,” was written by Ewan MacColl and over the years performed by many artists. One of the best versions of this love song was performed by Roberta Flack. “The first time, ever I saw your face, I thought the sun rose in your eyes, and the moon and the stars were the gifts you gave - to the dark, and the endless sky…” These are both skillful lyrics and provoke powerful love emotions. Okay, you are not a song writer, but fortunately, these inspirational love lyrics will make finding new ways to say “I love you” a lot easier. Find a song that you feel says what you want to say, one that communicates your feelings and pass it on to that special person. There are few vocalists that can wrap their song in velvet and whose voice will
caress your heart. Etta James and “At Last” has one of those voices. At last, My love has come along. My lonely days are over. And life is like a song. At last the skies above are blue. My heart was wrapped up in clover. The night I looked at you. Perhaps you want to express how much you mean to the other person and how far you will take that love. Simon and Garfunkel’s “Bridge over Troubled Waters,” is one way “When you’re weary, feeling small, When tears are in your eyes, I’ll dry them all I’m on your side. Oh, when times get rough and friends just can’t be found, Like a bridge over troubled waters I will lay me down…” The Righteous Brothers – “Unchained Melody” is a romantic composition of everlasting love. A type of love so strong; one that connects two souls, so deeply in tune, with the spirit of each other. “Woah, my love, my darling, I’ve hungered for your touch, A long, lonely time, And time goes by so slowly, And time can do so much, Are you still mine? I need your

love, I need your love, God speed your love to me.” “I Don’t Want to Miss a Thing” Aerosmith. The song is about treasuring every moment spent with another person. “I could stay awake just to hear you continued on page 21

Celebrating St. Valentine’s Day... continued from page 20 breathing, Watch you smile while you are sleeping, While you’re far away and dreaming, I could spend my life in this sweet surrender.” Bette Midler’s “Wind Beneath My Wings” - The person is part of your support system and without them you could not succeed. “Did you ever know that you’re my hero? And everything I would like to be, I can fly higher than an eagle, For you are the wind beneath my wings.” “You Raise Me Up” Josh Groban In 2004, Josh Groban’s version of “You Raise Me Up” was played more than 500,000 times on radio, topping the Billboard Adult Contemporary charts for 6 weeks. “You raise me up so I can stand on mountains, You raise me up, to walk on stormy seas, I am strong when I am on your shoulders, you raise me up to more than I can be.” Whitney Houston, “I Will Always Love You” While remaining at the top of the charts for months after its introduction, it is now considered one of the finest love songs
ever written (by Dolly Parton) even though it is filled with bittersweet memories. I hope life treats you kind. And I hope you have all you’ve dreamed of. And I’m wishing you joy and happiness. But above all this, I wish you love’ “The Twelfth of Never “- Johnny Mathis The Twelfth of Never is an expression that defines the date of a future event that will never happen. In this song, the singer uses the phrase to explain that his love will last forever. A Timeless silky perfect voice, a true star, Mathis brought such joy to millions around this planet. “You ask how much I need you, must I explain? I need you, oh my darling, like roses need rain. You ask how long I’ll love you; I’ll tell you true: Until the twelfth of never, I’ll still be loving you.” Brain chemistry and love songs may get love started, but the real keys to lasting relationships are found in your heart and soul. Listen to the full lyrics of any of these songs, on YouTube.
United States Power Squadron Offers State Boating Safety Course
N
orthern New Jersey Sail & Power Squadron, a unit of the United States Power Squadrons (USPS) and now America’s Boating Club, will offer the New Jersey State Police, Marine Services Bureau approved Boating Safety Course at James Caldwell High School from 6:30 p.m. to 9:00 p.m. beginning Wednesday, March 23, 2022. The course taught by certified instructors licensed by the State of NJ, and which meets all the mandatory requirements necessary for obtaining your New Jersey Boat Safety Certificate, will run every Wednesday evening for six weeks which includes a night for review, and a night for the required state examination. The cost of the course is $90.00. Legislation in the state of New Jersey was passed a number of years ago requiring all boaters, 16 years of age or older, operating a power driven vessel including a personal watercraft (PWC), to complete a boating safety course. The legislation requires a minimum of eight hours of instruction with at least six hours of in-classroom
study, homework, and a proctored examination. Those successfully completing the course will receive a New Jersey Marine State Police certificate that must be in the operator’s possession when on the waters of the state. Failure to exhibit the certificate is presumptive evidence that the person has not completed an approved boating safety course and is subject to a fine. One must be at least 12 years of age to attend the course. Registration is made through the Caldwell/West Caldwell Center for Continuing Education, 265 Westville Avenue, Room 105, West Caldwell, NJ 07006. Register online at www.cwcboe.org/continuinged by using debit or credit card or by mail (print & mail registration form with check made out to CWC-Continuing ED). All calls only after 6:00 p.m. Monday through Thursday, 973-228-2092. Questions concerning the USPS course can also be addressed to the Boating Course Chairman, Bob Rosselot at (973)228-5329; email: rosselot17@aol. com.

Former Black River Area and Randolph Basketball Stars Celebrate Rutgers Beating a #1 Ranked Team

By Steve Sears utgers Scarlet Knights senior backup center, Luke Nathan, was watching Ron Harper Jr. all the way. “I knew as soon as Trevion Williams made that hook shot, I knew Ron was there to try to get the ball and do what he could with it,” Nathan, the former Randolph High School basketball star, says of the December 9, 2021 contest where his Scarlet Knights faced the #1 ranked Purdue Boilermakers. “He crossed half court and he shot the ball up. It looked good when it came off his hands, and I watched it go in. The rest of it is kind of a blur. It was crazy.” The Scarlet Knight fans stormed the Jersey Mike’s Arena (affectionately known as “The RAC”) court

Those Jumbo Fiddles in Mount Olive
M
By Henry M. Holden ount Olive resident Arthur K. Ferris became famous for his hobby - creating “jumbo” musical instruments. During his lifetime he worked in Flanders/ Ironia area, and the 1940 U.S. Census lists him as living at Main Street, in Mount Olive. Born 1871, in Madison, Wisconsin, and lacking any musical training or carpentry skills, he worked as an estate caretaker and landscape gardener. During the cold months, he had essentially no work to do outside so he began making musical instruments to occupy his time. At Celebrating 50 Years
first, he had tried creating crude fiddles but failed miserably. Ferris’ hobby of making jumbo violins started one winter night around 1924. During the winter months and over the years Ferris created many instruments, from a small “angel” violin to a combination harp-violin with strings one hundred inches long. According to his wife Bertha, he was inspired by the angelic music of the Seventh Day Adventist Church, where he was a member. Bertha related in a newspaper interview in 1940, that in 1924, Ferris had a visionary

encounter with the angel Gabriel. Gabriel gave him detailed instructions on how to build massive angelic-sounding instruments, according to angelic designs. The Ferris’ together devoted their lives to Christian ideals of the Seventh Day Adventist and used music to spread the Word. Bertha was not a composer; she was the chief performer in his ensembles and provided her original contribution during ensemble improvisations. “Then,” Arthur’s wife recounts, “a voice spoke to him. “I’m Gabriel,” it said, “you write this vision and make it plain that people may read it. You make these instruments and show these people that the word of God is true.’” The instruments ranged from a tiny angel violin barely a foot and a half long to a 300-pound goliath among fiddles, the world’s biggest bass viol. It stretches 14-feet from top to bottom and its strings were 104

inches long. Even more massive was another product of Ferris’ upstairs workshop. It was the biggest harp in the world. When completed it tipped the scales at more than 400 pounds. Eighty-three of the 99 strings were made of steel. Some of these vibrating wires were nearly 100-inches long. One remarkable feature of the massive harp was a row of double strings forming a series of “Vs.” Opposite strings were tuned differently. When one was plucked, sympathetic vibrations were set up in the other, producing unusual tonal effects. Two or more musicians could play on different parts of the great harp at the same time. The vibrations could only be felt when played inside a barn which acted as a giant resonator Arthur Ferris’ Big Fiddle was recorded in the Guinness Book of World Records as the world’s largest viol; a five-feet-high by eight continued on page 24

Rutgers Beating #1 Ranked Team... continued from page 22 bit,” he says. Katie was joined by Mulcahy’s little brothers, all congratulating him as he and the Knights were engulfed in a sea of fans clad in red. “It was a really awesome moment.” Nathan, who was a three-year starter at Randolph, was both a First Team All-Morris County and First Team NCAC All-National Conference selection as a senior when he averaged 14 points per game. In 2017, he was being recruited by Patriot League and Ivy League schools when Rutgers said they had a walk-on spot if he wanted it. He did. “I was thinking about and it was really hard to pass up an opportunity to play for my state school, and in the Big 10,” he recalls. “I’m obviously really happy with my decision. I love Rutgers more than anything, and I’m really blessed to be in the spot I am.” Mulcahy, also, is no stranger to success. When he played at Gill-St. Bernards in Peapack-Gladstone, he averaged 18 points, 10 rebounds, and 10 assists per game as a senior. During his career, he was a threetime Skyland Conference Player of the Year, and in his senior year was named First Team All-State by NJ.com. He has played regularly for Rutgers since his “On the Banks” arriv-
AL’S
al in 2019. “I’ve learned a lot the last two and a half years,” he says fondly. “I play in the Big Ten, which has been the best conference in America the last two years, and I think I’m really growing as a person from a leadership role. I feel much more poised now than I ever have on the floor.” For the 6’ 11”, 240 lb. Nathan, the list of memories continues to grow. “When I first came to Rutgers it obviously wasn’t a highly regarded program,” he says, “but I think my teammates have really done a great job of turning this program around. There are so many memories, like going to an NCAA tournament, and winning an NCAA Tournament game. Obviously, the Purdue shot is up there, and beating the number one team on your home floor.” Finally, he and the Knights in early January scored a win over the Michigan Wolverines. “That was the last team that we needed to beat (in the conference). Now we’ve beaten every single Big Ten team at least once. It’s just been a great journey.” “I really just came here to win,” says Mulcahy. “For myself, for the state, for the alums, and for the Rutgers men’s basketball program.”

Jumbo Fiddles...
continued from page 23 feet raised platform was required to play it with his Ferris Celestial Orchestra. Ferris’ local success slowly began to spread to nearby states. However, the booming tones of the big fiddle were heard from coast-to-coast when the first musical performed on a nationwide radio program. Questions about the concerts and his unique orchestra reached as far as Ohio. Ferris’s music was played on a New York radio station, featured in Ripley’s Believe It or Not show, and featured in Popular Science magazine. The owner of a cabaret offered him $25 a day for personal appearances with the world’s largest fiddle. Devoutly religious, he turned down most of the offers as he would permit nothing but sacred music to be played on his instruments As a present for his wife on her 60th birthday, Farris designed a huge “whispering harp.” The sound from the harp’s vibrating strings grew in volume as it entered a large violin-shaped body to which the harp had been attached. On his wife’s “whispering harp” – one plays the harp strings while giant violin strings sympathetically resonate on the cello-like body. Before Ferris took up his unusual hobby, he could not tell one musical note from another. It was after he began making his first unconventional instruments that he began
to learn how to play them. The superb workmanship shown in some of his instruments is amazing since the fact that he possessed little natural ability as a carpenter. He had difficulty driving a nail into a piece of wood and even sawing a straight line. Two of the violins made by the selftaught craftsman sold for $500 each, a fancy price in those days, and similar sums had been offered for other instruments. More often than not, he shaped his novel additions to the orchestra from green unseasoned wood. Ferris was familiar with the characteristics of many local trees and the qualities of their wood. Each instrument uses a combination of woods, chosen as much for the Biblical virtues they represent and structural potential. Each instrument of his Celestial Orchestra was for sacred music (although he permitted one to be played for profit). He claimed he could notice no difference in the tone of the instrument before and after the wood has been completely dried out. Only rarely did he buy seasoned boards. Although none of his written compositions survive, the Ferris spirit is amply contained in the 20 or more string instruments made in the 1920’s and ‘30s, a dozen of which are found in the Schubert Club Kugler Collection in Minnesota.

The Moving Wall Coming to County College of Morris in July
T
By Steve Sears he Moving Wall”, a half-scale replica of the Vietnam Veterans Memorial in Washington, D.C., for over 30 years has traveled our great nation, and this summer it makes a four day stop at County College of Morris. Bill Menzel, Vice-Commander of Randolph VFW Post 7333, speaks about the 280foot wall, which will be unveiled shortly after Independence Day, from July 8 thru the 10th, 2022. “It’s been around and it’s been rebuilt. It’s not the same wall that they started with.” “The Moving Wall” has in the past been on display in Essex and Sussex counties, but never in Morris County. “We expect somewhere between 20 and 30,000 visitors over three days,” Menzel says. The wall arrives and will be set up on the 7th, and will be available for public viewing from the 8th to the 10th. Menzel explains the proceedings. “The 8th is where we will have our opening. There will be some ceremonies and readings, and then the 9th will be the grand opening for the major speeches. And, of course, every day we’ll have a rifle salute to the National Anthem, and playing taps at night. It will be a 24-hour program, and then the 10th will be the closing ceremony. It’s just three days that the public can access it.” The wall will be taken down on the 11th. Menzel also men-
“
tions that there is a special outreach to all the Gold Star families in Morris County and New Jersey. “We’ll be making a special effort to honor them.” Vietnam Combat Veterans, Ltd. of White Pine, Michigan manages “The Moving Wall.” “They create a schedule every year,” says Menzel of the group. “One of the reasons why we’re working with the county college is because they’re providing a lot of the financial support in the sense of helping with putting up the walkways and providing security and printing programs. It’s really a very strong sponsorship that they’re providing for this program.” Menzel also recognizes the support of Senator Anthony Bucco, Assemblyman Brian Bergen, Assemblywoman Aura Dunn, Randolph Township Mayor Marie Potter and the township council, Morris County Sheriff James Gannon, and the participation of the American Legion, the Red Cross, the Vet Center - which is part of the Veterans Administration, Disabled Veterans of America, and the Vietnam Veterans of America. “All these veteran’s groups will be participating to some degree or another in this program. It’s a real strong community effort,” Menzel says. VFW Post 7333 was founded after World War II, and it serves Randolph, Dover, Mendham, Mine Hill and Chester. The mis-

sion statement is as follows: Our mission is to help represent the Veterans who have fought in foreign wars in the communities we serve. Our goals are to support our Veterans when they need assistance, to maintain a relationship of respect and trust with our communities, to encourage patriotism and to honor our Fallen and current military. “We welcome veterans from any kind of foreign war action. If you were under fire someplace outside of the United States,” Menzel says, “we welcome you.” Any donations made on the VFW Post 7333 website (www.VFWPost7333.org) will be used to support “The Moving Wall” pro-
gram, and there’s also an opportunity to sign up to be a volunteer for the event. “We have over 30 volunteers that are going to be part of the process,” Menzel explains. “You need people to guide people to the wall and help them find a name. You need at least a staff of 10 people available at any given point in time. It’s going to be in shifts, three shifts a day. You also need people to put up the wall and take down the wall. The Warriors’ Watch Riders escort the trucks when they arrive and they help put up the wall.” Visit www.themovingwall.org for more information.
