Fans Crowd Kinnelon Library To Learn About Iconic Bowie

bout 65 David Bowie fans of all ages, from babies to elders, gathered at the Kinnelon Public Library on Sunday, Sept. 17 to experience “The Life and Music of David Bowie.”

A program series written and hosted by Maryanne Christiano-Mistretta, the production included a biography on David Bowie followed by live music.

Christiano-Mistretta casually speaks about the life of Bowie, as if she’s talking to a friend oneon-one. Very encouraging when it comes to audience participation, Christiano-Mistretta invited several patrons to come up front to the microphone and relay their own Bowie stories, making the event more personal for the fans.

Tidbits on Bowie’s life she

spoke about involved how he went from “Davie Jones” to David Bowie; the story behind his permanently dilated pupil; and the many bands he was in before he had his first hit “Space Oddity” in 1969.

Guitarist and recording artist Keith Beck has worked with Christiano-Mistretta for two years now, paying homage to the late Bowie.

Beck is not a Bowie impersonator; he’s a fan and tribute artist. With bare bones of simply guitar, amp, and vocals, Beck had the audience singing along with Bowie favorites like, “Space Oddity,” “Ziggy Stardust,” “Suffragette City,” and “Starman.”

Beck was excited to share with the audience that prior to the program, he stopped at a Dollar Store and as he was checking out, he no-

ticed the young cashier was wearing a Bowie shirt – further proof that the music of Bowie appeals to all ages.

The program ended with a very special guest – three-time Grammy Award winner, Rob Fusari, who has worked with Lady Gaga, Beyonce, and Adam Lambert, to name a few; and recently toured overseas with the iconic ’80s band, ABC. Like Beck, Fusari played it modestly with just guitar, amp, and vocals. He wowed the audience with his own edgy adaption of Bowie’s “Young Americans.” It earned him a standing ovation from some diehard Bowie fans.

Librarian Kim Christian, added special touches to the event, Bowie photographs and posters,

including those from his movies, graced the hallway leading to the spacious room where the event was held.

Christian, who is a huge Bowie fan and saw him in concert a few times said, “The Kinnelon Library is always trying to break out of the norm with concerts, programs, and events that you would not expect to see at your typical town library.”

Bowie is just one of the artists in Christiano-Mistretta’s “Learn & Listen” series. Other legends include: John Lennon, Ella Fitzgerald, Nat King Cole, Johnny Cash, and Sammy Davis Junior. She said there may be a Queen tribute in the works too.

Design Squad Global Club Comes To Butler Library

A

By Elsie Walker new program at the Butler Public Library will give Middle School children the chance to work on their problem-solving skills, while learning about children living in other parts of the United States and the world.

The program, known as the Design Squad Global Club, is a project of the Public Broadcasting System.

It teaches children to solve prob-

F

lems using engineering principles and helps them to share their solutions with other clubs. When library director Luis Rodriguez heard about it, he decided to bring it to the library.

The club will meet for six weeks starting Wednesday, Nov. 1. It runs from 4 p.m. to approximately 5:15 p.m. and is limited to 12 participants. It will be partnering with three other clubs in Great Britain,

Learning Opportunities Abound

rom scrapbooking to writing a novel, there will be plenty of opportunities to learn in the coming weeks at the Kinnelon Library.

On Saturday, Oct. 21, Scrap/ Crop Day will be held from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. Participants should bring all their stuff and scrap the day away. Tables, lunch, coffee, tea, and snacks are included for $15 per person.

On Tuesday, Oct. 24 at 6:30 p.m. Hillary DePiano, the Northwest NJ municipal liaison for NaNoWriMo, will talk about and answer questions on how to prepare to write a novel.

Beginning Tuesday, Nov. 7 at 10 a.m., Dianne DiMella will help vis-

itors express themselves through writing in a safe, non-judgmental environment. Writing can reduce stress, help people work through problems more effectively, heal troubled memories and release pent up stress and emotions.

On the flip side, it can help share happy memories and or leave a legacy for loved ones. In this four-week workshop, wouldbe writers will find their own style and voice. The course is limited to 12 participants and the cost for the program is $25.

To register for programs, or for more information, call 973-8381321 or visit www.kinnelonlibrary. org.

Indiana, and New York.

“When we do STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Math) programs, the kids like it,” said Rodriguez about his motivation to bring the program to the library.

Rodriquez explained that the club includes an orientation and problem solving projects. To solve the problems given to them, the children will follow a process much like an engineer’s, which includes the following steps: define a need, brainstorm ideas, design a prototype, build it, test it, then evaluate it, redesign it and share the solution.

Rodriguez shared an overview of each project.

In the Pop Fly Challenge, the children build a device that can launch a ping pong ball. The Helping Hand Challenge has the children building a device to grab something that is difficult to reach.

For Safe Landing, the children will create something that will protect a container floating to the ground.

The final problem will be to build a structure that can withstand an earthquake, tested by shaking the structure and seeing if it continues

to stand. All the items needed to build the solution to each problem will be supplied.

Not only will the children learn about problem solving, but they will also learn about teamwork in going through the process.

“It’s nice to see kids of other ages working together,” said Rodriguez of the range of ages that will make up the library’s club. Also, in addition to the middle schoolers, Rodriguez said that he will probably have some high school helpers.

The solution to each problem will be shared with the partnering clubs via email and they will share theirs as well. In this way, the clubs can see the different approach each one took to solving the problem. They will also get to learn a little about where each other lives. Partnering clubs are in Altrincham, U.K.; Carmel, Ind. and New York City, N.Y. “It’s a good experience for the kids,” said Rodriguez.

The club is free to join. For more information, visit the library’s website at butlerlibrary.org or call 973-838-3262.

Pompton Lakes Homeowner Shares Spooky Ghost Story

I

By Elsie Walker n the 1960s, Bill Herz worked as a production coordinator for “Eye on New York” (local CBS station). For a segment titled, “Who’s in the Attic, Mommy?” he was scouting out a location, a home in Pompton Lakes which was supposed to have a poltergeist.

However, it turned out there wasn’t a poltergeist there; but, Herz was told of another house that was said to be haunted. When he saw the address, he realized that it was the home on which he and his wife had just put a deposit.

The Herz family went ahead with buying the house. However,

Erika Herz noted that “since we moved in, the quiet was heavy.”

She always had the radio on.

The Herz family was told some ghost stories about their home and have experienced some strange things themselves.

Their house had been built by author Christine Terhune Herrick (1859-1944), who wrote about housekeeping for Harper’s Bazaar and other publications. Erika Herz said Herrick might be thought of as “a Martha Stewart.” Herrick’s brother, Albert Payson Terhune (1872-1942), was also an author, best known for “Lad A Dog.” Terhune lived on an estate which is

Performing Arts Academy Dancers Crowned National Champions

T

he Performing Arts Academy, in Pompton Lakes and Lincoln Park, recently participated in the United States Tournament of Dance in Atlantic City, once again earning top honors during the week-long event, winning awards and recognition for individual and group dances, as well as choreography.

The winners were: Petite Miss Acrobat of the United States Hayden Norton; International Princess of Dance - Maddie McCabe; Junior Miss Dance of the United States - Delaney DeStefano; Junior Miss Acrobat of the United States - Mia Corigliano; Teen Miss Acrobat of the United States - Emma Schneider; International Queen of Dance - Jolie Schaub; Miss Dance of the United States, First Runner-Up - Sami Murphy and Miss Dance of the United States, Second Runner-Up - Danika Lobosco.

Other awards included: Junior Emerald Award Winner: “God’s Creatures,” choreographed by Dawn LaViola-Schaub; Ruby Award Winner: “Man in the Mirror,” choreographed by Alicia Monaco; Senior Emerald Award Winner, Scott Dudas, choreographed by Dawn

B

LaViola-Schaub; Diamond Award Winner: “Waving Through a Window,” choreographed by KC Castellano; Senior High Score Soloist: Scott Dudas; Fred Astaire Award for Excellence in Tap: Morgan Riley; Senior Achievement Award: Catie Meyer; Judge’s Award of Excellence: Lauren Sahu; Best Acrobatic Choreography (Junior & Senior): Meghan Frayne, and United States Best Tap Choreographer: Alicia Monaco.

Performing Arts Academy was also awarded the Precision Arts Challenge PAC Attack Award, and was named Top Studio. PAA also won top honors in the Senior Dance Off, coming in first among hundreds of competitors.

Under the artistic direction of Dawn Laviola-Schaub, PAA is entering its 27th year of dance instruction this fall. For many members of the Performing Arts Academy company, their love of dance can be traced to their very first pre-k ballet and tap classes.

PAA also has an extensive and impressive recreational program and studios in both Pompton Lakes and Lincoln Park. For more information, call (973) 839-7800, or visit www.thepaa.com.

Waltz, Foxtrot, Rumba Lessons In Kinnelon

allroom and Latin dance classes are being offered this fall in the Kinnelon Library.

On Mondays, from Oct. 16 to Dec. 4, the public is invited to take a turn on the dance floor with longtime Kinnelon resident and ballroom and Latin dancer Lekha

Keister. Keister will teach the Waltz, Rumba, Foxtrot and Salsa.

now Terhune Memorial Park – Sunnybank. After he died, items from his estate were sold. One was a four and a half foot by six foot copy of a Dutch Master which a former owner of the Herz house bought and hung by a staircase. Looking at the picture, the owner swore that she saw Albert Terhune’s face looking back at her.

Another story involving previous owners was that one day the husband in the family came home from work and his wife complained to him that the doorbell had been ringing all day; but when she went to the door, no one was there.

She attributed it to children having fun with her. However, her husband pointed out that it couldn’t be the case, as that doorbell was not connected.

There was also talk of an unknown woman’s spirit which roams the house.

While the Herz family has never experienced any of the things the previous owners did, there have been some strange happenings. One day, about 40-45 years ago, they were having a family barbeque and Erika Herz was alone in

the kitchen. She could hear footsteps upstairs. She thought it was her children, but when she walked outside, she saw everyone was in the backyard.

Another time, when Bill Herz’s parents were visiting, they heard a door close at the top of the home’s second staircase. Then, they heard the kitchen door close. It was like someone had left the upstairs, went through the kitchen and left the house. However, there was no one else there at the time.

Bill Herz said that they had a German Shepherd that followed him everywhere. The dog followed him up to the attic one day, but when the attic door was opened, the dog backed away. He would not go into that attic.

While there has been a presence in the house, the Herz family has never had any problems co-existing with their spiritual guests.

Erika Herz noted that it could be because Albert Terhune loved animals and so does the Herz family.

“We’re compatible with him,” said Erika Herz as a possible theory for the peaceful coexistence.

Stop Your Pet From Becoming A ‘Hairy Houdini’

he ASPCA estimates that 7.5 million companion animals enter animal shelters nationwide every year. Many of these animals are strays, as shelters house about twice as many stray animals as pets given up by their owners.

Lost animals also make up a significant portion of the shelter pet population. Although a great number of shelter animals are reunited with their owners, some shelter animals never reunite with their families.

Pet owners must take steps to reduce the risk that their pets will get lost. Fencing, secure crates and gates and leashes can cut down on the number of escapes.

Crate Crates and carrier kennels are worthwhile investments for pet owners. Many animal trainers advocate for crates when conditioning dogs to be obedient. Smaller crates for cats are ideal when the animal needs some quiet time or you have to keep the pet away

from guests. Kennels with a handle make it easier to transport pets to and from the veterinarian or when taking car rides.

When purchasing a crate, make sure it is large enough to fit the animal while he or she is standing and sitting. The pet should be able to turn around comfortably, but the crate should not be so large that it enables the animal to relieve himself in one end and still have room at the other. If you want to purchase a larger crate for a pet that will grow, divide the crate with a piece of wood or mesh so the animal has only the room it needs.

Fencing Fences not only may make for good neighbors, but they also can regulate pets’ behavior and make pets safer. Pet fencing can include one fence that encloses the entire perimeter of your property, a dog “run” that is an enclosed area strictly for the dog within the yard or a combination of both. Cats have an innate climbing ability, which

chicken wire or another deterrent several inches below the ground when installing a fence can help prevent dogs from getting out of the yard. Speak with a fencing manufacturer and installer about pet-friendly fence options.

That is why it is important to keep pets leashed when outdoors and away from may make fencing less effective for fenced-in areas. outdoor cats.

In addition to these precautionary tools, pet owners can provide plenty of stimulation for their pets through toys, games and social interaction. This will alleviate boredom and the propensity to escape, offers The Humane Society of the United States. Animals may look to get out of confines when they are isolated and frustrated. Dogs and cats also roam when they become sexually mature, so it’s best to have them spayed or neutered.

Business Planning: The Hourglass Approach

hen it comes to annual planning, businesses often spend too much time on the planning process or too little because they are busy with day-to-day operations. There’s a simple method called the “Hourglass Approach” that can help you efficiently focus on your goals and create a plan to achieve them.

Top of the glass.

In the first stage, review the internal and external business environment. Force yourself to carefully consider the variables affecting your business: The internal environment.

Look at all aspects of your business, from personnel to financing.

Review your sales and marketing as well as operations. Identify your strengths and weaknesses as well as the critical success factors for each

A

aspect of your company.

The external review.

Now conduct the same review of the business environment.

Review your competition. Review your current marketplace. Look specifically for trends, both good and bad. Conduct a similar review of the legal and regulatory environment.

The narrowing middle.

Now you should have a good handle on the current situation. Use this information to create the middle of the glass and distill it into actionable priorities.

Short lists of actionable focus.

Create a short list of three to five strengths and weaknesses.

Create a similar short list of your biggest problems and opportunities. These lists will be your focus

Did You Know?

ccording to the United States Environmental Protection Agency, carbon dioxide is the primary greenhouse gas emitted through human activities. Carbon dioxide is naturally present in the Earth’s atmosphere as part of its carbon cycle, but human activity is altering that cycle by adding more carbon dioxide to the atmosphere. In addition to adding more carbon dioxide to that natural cycle, human activity is influencing the ability of natural sinks, such as oceans, forests and plants, to remove carbon from the atmosphere. The combustion of fossil fuels for energy and transportation is the primary carbon dioxide-emitting human activity. In fact, the EPA notes that electricity, transportation and industry are the three main sources of carbon dioxide emissions in the United States. Electricity accounted for roughly 37 percent of total carbon dioxide emissions and 31 percent of total greenhouse gas emissions

in the United States in 2013. Transportation, which involves the combustion of gasoline and diesel fuel to transport people and goods, was the second largest source of carbon dioxide emissions in 2013, accounting for 31 percent. In addition to automobiles, transportation-related sources of carbon dioxide emissions include airplanes, marine transportation and trains.

Though much of the world has grown increasingly eco-conscious over the last decade or so, carbon dioxide emissions remain high, as such emissions in the United States increased by 7 percent between 1990 and 2013. However, the 2014 U.S. Greenhouse Gas Inventory Report, which tracked total annual U.S. emissions and removals dating back to 1990, indicated a 9 percent decline in greenhouse gas emissions between 2005 and 2013, suggesting that efforts to reduce emissions were beginning to bear fruit.

Better Than Takeout Asian Dishes At Home

n busy weeknights, it can be easy to opt for Asian staples like beef and broccoli. Instead, try making your own cuisine at home with quick-cook noodles, from udon to lo mein.

“Popular takeout dishes and noodle bowls can be high in salt and unhealthy fats, but when you make it at home, you can opt for unsalted stocks and add flavor from herbs and spices,” said Dr. Wendy Bazilian, McCormick corporate dietitian. “It’s also easy to personalize with whatever fresh veggies you have in the fridge, from mushrooms to broccoli.”

For example, try Ginger Beef and Broccoli Stir-Fry or Pot Sticker Noodle Stir-Fry for fool-proof crowd pleasers. Or go rogue with your own noodle creation: pick a noodle, customize with broths and sauces, flavor with herbs and spices, add lean protein like chicken or shrimp and top with your favorite

fresh or sauteed vegetables.

utumn is the perfect time to fall in love with maple syrup. The caramelized flavor of syrup pairs well with other fall flavors, like apples, cinnamon and pumpkin.

From spiced syrups to gameday dips, McCormick Executive Chef Kevan Vetter has tasty ideas for incorporating this fall flavor in dishes throughout the day: • Maple syrup is a perfect complement to sweet banana pancakes. Mix mashed bananas into the pancake batter. Once cooked, top with sliced bananas, chopped walnuts and maple syrup.

• Add maple syrup to a melty grilled cheese sandwich. Layer cheddar cheese, bacon, sliced ap-

Lincoln Park Consignment Shop Open For Business, Supports Church

I

By Stefanie Sears f Lincoln Park and Montville locals are looking for some decent deals on nice accessories, they might want to consider St. Andrew’s Thrift Shop on Main Street.

St. Andrew’s Thrift Shop of Good Shepherd Episcopal Church, formerly St. Andrew’s Episcopal Church, started resuming its regular hours on September 6. The shop sells clothing for men, women and children; jewelry, housewares, bric-a-brac, toys, books, and half-priced items.

While Wednesday is a shopping day only, people are welcome to donate items for consignment from Thursday through Saturday.

The consignee receives 60 percent of the item’s sale price with a $0.75 service charge while the church gets 40 percent. Any profit is transferred to Good Shepherd’s General Fund.

Initially the church’s sanctuary before it became a store, St. Andrew’s Thrift Shop opened in 1963 through St. Andrew’s Episcopal Church, which changed its name to

its current one after it merged with Transfiguration Episcopal Church of Towaco about four years ago.

“The original church was on the corner of Main Street and Zeliff Place,” says Susan Leeds, thrift shop co-chair. “When the parish decided to build a new sanctuary they moved the original sanctuary to its present location and attached it to the existing parish hall.

There are stained glass windows on the sides of the shop and a couple of stairs that led up to the altar area.”

Leeds moved to Lincoln Park in 1971 and immediately became involved with the shop. She is now a co-chair along with Martha Martin.

“We have mostly female shoppers so women’s clothing sells better than men’s,” says Leeds, “Probably women’s clothing sells best along with jewelry and small houseware items. We definitely get all kinds of interesting items as well as some ordinary items.

Right now we have copies of original scores written by Bach and

Beethoven framed with pictures of each composer.”

The store follows some strict guidelines for the materials they obtain. Clothing must be clean and hole free. Shoes should be almost new, but women’s bathing suits must be new. They do not accept men’s suits, bowling balls or furniture due to space. After four

weeks in the store, items are then donated and profits are gifted to the church.

“Our customers are locals from most of the surrounding towns with many immigrants and others taking advantage of our low prices,” she explains. “Because our customers are mostly women, continued on page 26

Filled Pencil Boxes And Presence Of Hope Accompany Local Missionaries

M

By Cheryl Conway ore than 500 children in the Dominican Republic should have a new pencil box filled with school supplies next month when 21 local adults and teens engage in a mission to help a community in need.

Parish members of Our Lady of Good Counsel Church in Pompton Plains plan to visit Batey Lecheria from Sunday, Nov. 5 through Sat., Nov. 11 for the Mission of Hope Trip. The ministry group has been visiting this same camp annually for the past 15 years, providing items such as medical and school supplies, bed sheets, soccer balls and cleats, as well as manual labor with a house built last year and a small park this year.

What started with adults only.

The Mission of Hope Ministry Group now invites teens to participate as a “way of teaching our kids what poverty was all about,” says Nancy Baran of Pompton Plains, president of the Mission of Hope Ministry Group out of Our Lady of Good Counsel Church.

A lifelong member of the church for 49 years, Baran has been organizing the missions to the Dominican Republic for the past nine years. Her sister and brother-in-law, Sue and Dave Laumbach ran the missions for five years before moving to Colorado.

The church’s mission group began after 2003, when Our Lady of Good Counsel Msgr.

Patrick J. Scott and Sister Rosemary McSorely got involved, says Baran. Education there began

in 1995 under a shade tree with a few students, to an old metal shipping container in 2000 at the Batey Lecheria, where 5,000 people with families going back five generations dwell, says Baran.

Scott and McSorely “determined that to successfully educate these children, they first needed to get them healthy so the church built the clinic,” the Fe y Alegria Center, says Baran.

“The initial dispensary was later expanded on three occasions of which one room was intended to be a meeting room for the community.

However, it quickly became two classrooms which are very much in uses. Currently, there is only space until grade three and there are many classes of each grade.”

Continuing these missions to help this comcontinued on page 21

Local Missionaries... continued from page 20 munity has become Baran’s passion.

As a mother of four, Baran says running the missions is something she does in her “spare time.” Her experiences have been eye-opening, not only to her but to her teenage kids who went along.

“It really opened our eyes of what poverty really is,” says Baran.

“We live in Pompton Plains with libraries, schools, health care; it really opened up my eyes. I became addicted each year. It’s something we really look forward to as a family. It’s our way of giving back.”

Planned out every 12 to 18 months, Baran schedules the mission in either March, April, May or November each year. This year’s mission falls during N.J.’s Teacher’s Convention so students will miss just three days of school, Baran says. One year, she planned it over spring break.

“Everything we bring helps sustain the school and medical clinic,” says Baran, adding that they usually bring 3,000 pounds of luggage filled with necessary items. “We hand carry,” she explains, to pre-

vent items from being stolen in the airport. Because of limited capacity, Baran says they do not bring clothes to donate.

A few years ago, they organized a bed sheet project, collecting new and used sheets.

“We went into the homes and made beds for them,” she says.

There five or six family members sleep on one mattress. “We would bring sheets of bright yellow, changes the whole atmosphere.”

Each traveler is also asked to bring an extra pair of sneakers to leave behind.

“They say, ‘When you leave can I have your sneakers,’” says Baran.

“We tell all the travelers ‘bring your least favorite pair of sneakers.’ We leave our sneakers there and come home with our flip flops.”

Being there for the people is just as important.

“It’s about our physical presence, not just our presents,” she says. “Finding a child in the streets left to raise himself at the age of 4; taking the kids hand and walking down the street with them. They don’t use soccer balls, they use plastic milk cartons. So we started

Pg 21

collecting used soccer balls and cleats. Now they have teams that are formed.”

They have also painted homes “which are really shacks,” Baran says. Last year they built a home for six people living in a tiny shack with half a roof. The family who was renting the shack had a sick three month old baby in critical condition, a father not working and not able to pay the rent so the landlord would take away pieces of the tin roof for punishment, says Baran.

“We fundraised to pay for the tin roof and wood,” she says. “We built them a four room house.”

This year, they plan to build “a little park,” says Baran.

“The playground will start off fairly simple to stay within our modest budget,” she says. “We are starting off by purchasing sand, cement, stone and other materials.

We’ll be clearing the land, digging and pouring a playground to get the community out of the mud.

We hope to put in a small garden with some plantings. If funds will allow, we hope to purchase a swing set and perhaps some park benches. Whatever we cannot financially complete this year will be expanded upon in future trips.”

As years passed, medical and school supplies will fill their luggage.

“This year we are shipping eight to 10 barrels of supplies,” she says, with 520 filled pencil boxes for each student aged 3 to 10.

“Children aren’t educated beyond 10 due to capacity/space,” says Baran.

After looking this past year at her kindergarten picture carrying her first pencil box, Baran recalls, “I remember that day carrying my new pencil box.”

So this past spring, they started a pencil box campaign featuring a pencil box or pouch filled with items such as pencils, pens, erasers, markers and glue sticks.

“We will decorate the pencil boxes when we get there,” says Baran. “This is such a massive undertaking; we started this a year before.”

As a manager for her career, Baran says “everyone’s got a job” for the mission. “It’s not just a week’s vacation; it’s not about getting off from school. Everybody had to work.”

With that in mind, 16-year old Abby Pownall of Pompton Plains, a junior at Pequannock Township High School, has taken on the pencil box campaign. The collections began last Easter with an egg tree filled with ornaments requesting donations for the pencil box campaign.

Pownall, who is friends with Baran’s daughter, then approached the school board to request permission to put collection bins at each of the schools in the district.

“We have collection boxes in the schools and are asking for basic school supplies such as pencil boxcontinued on page 22

continued from page 21 es, pink erasers, pencil sharpeners, pens, childsafe scissors, glue, glue sticks, crayons, markers, colored pencils, and rulers,” says Pownall who signed up in early 2017 for this first mission.

“As I have gotten older, I have looked to become more involved in my church,” says Pownall, a member of Our Lady of Good Counsel’s youth ministry group, LOOP. “This trip is something I have heard about since I was in middle school, and always hoped I would be able to do.”

Pownall says “I am looking forward to seeing our group’s efforts make a difference and to help some of the poorest of the poor. We have all worked hard to collect supplies for the school and for the clinic. When we show up, the supplies we have delivered will immediately be put to use. We are very fortunate to live in a community with such generous people and businesses.”

Members of the mission group belong to the church or community of Pompton Plains and Pequannock. Each pays for flight, food and lodging.

“They have to be committed,” says Baran.

“It’s a financial commitment and time commitment.” The group stays in a retreat house with basic lodging in Santa Domingo, about 45 minutes from the camp.

“To pay for my trip, I started working at Cedar Crest this summer and I have been sav-

ing up money in a “Dominican Trip” jar with birthday money, my Confirmation money and babysitting,” says Pownall.

“I heard many stories from people who had previously gone on this trip about how the people they met touched their hearts,” says Pownall. “Helping others is something I strive to do every day and I am looking forward to being able to make an impact on the lives of others. I have no doubt that this experience will change the way I view the world around me.”

Pownall, who serves as vice president of her student council, was hopeful in meeting her goal with the pencil box collection.

“The drive at the schools is one avenue for getting the donations,” she says. “So far, we are at approximately 50 percent of our goal but we have a few more weeks of collecting and are hopeful we can give every child their own box.

We will also help the children decorate the boxes which should be a really fun project.”

With collections ongoing, school supplies can be dropped in the collection boxes at any of the Pequannock Township schools, or at Our Lady of Good Counsel Church at 155 West Parkway, Pompton Plains.

The group is also accepting medical donations for the clinic. For questions, email MissionofHope@goodcounsel.org. Deadline to donate is Saturday, Oct. 14, at 9 a.m., when the group plans to meet at the church to pack 5,000 pounds of donations a “record setting year,”

says Baran. Late donations will also be accepted.Looking ahead, the Mission of Hope hopes to raise $50K to help expand the school, says Baran, from donors wishing to fund the project.
