place in the HMMS Memorial Day Classic in
Carlisle, PA. After a heartbreaking loss in an
overtime shootout on Sunday morning, the Xtreme

Middle School Students Score High On Good Citizenship And Service
By Cheryl Conway
ore than 100 students in grades
six through eight were recognized Fri., May 22, at the Mt.
Olive Middle School for being good citizens in school or for providing outstanding
service.
Students and their guests filled the
MOMS cafeteria at 9 a.m. for the Good
Citizenship and Service Award Breakfast.
The Education Association of Mount Olive
(EAMO) has been sponsoring this breakfast awards presentation for eight years,
with two breakfasts per year; one in the
winter and the other in the spring.
The purpose of the breakfast is to honor
those students who go above and beyond
during the school year in their actions or in
the way in which they treat others.
For good citizenship, You realize what
becomes important in life, says Susan
Miranda, MOMS principal, during the
breakfast. Four traits that are important in
life are kindness, loyalty, trustworthy and
respect. If you understand how important
they are you will grow tremendously.
While there are many students at

MOMS who are great kids, there are
some who take that extra step to go out of
the way. Being a teenager today is difficult, says Miranda. Students being honored today are very successful, wonderful
students. They are involved; they care for
one another and will go on to be good citizens.
A total of 124 students were honored
called up one by one and given a certificate
for their appreciation. There were 36 sixth
graders, 61 seventh graders and 27 eight
graders awarded.
Students were selected based on two
different categories: Good Citizenship or
Service Award.
To be recognized for Good Citizenship,
students receive positive points from faculty and staff members.
If they receive enough points, 35, they
and their parents are invited to the breakfast, explains Shelley Boylan, secretary to
the MOMS Principal.
Some examples of acts of Good
Citizenship include being a friend to a new
student; amazing work ethic and positive

attitude; finding and returning bracelets
that were lost; assisting by translating for a
school visitor; and sticking up for others,
Boylen says.
To receive the Service Award, students
are recommended by faculty members.
Some examples include being a lunch

buddy every day to assist with multiple
disabled students; staying after school to
assist with the Greenhouse Program; being
a peer tutor; and visiting the Child Care
and Learning Center to support children,
she adds.

Memorial Day Ceremony Sheds Tears And Enlightens

True Meaning Of The Holiday
Ceremony. Memorial Day is a special day

to remember the patriots who gave the ultimate sacrifice.
Its also about paying tribute to the families who send their brave men and women
to war, says Perna, who works out of the
Pentagon and drove back and forth in one
day from Washington, DC, to attend the
event. We are here to help you preserve the
memories of your loved ones, he says
specifically to the Gold Star Mothers seated
up front. Every veteran here appreciates
your support.
It was 45 years ago that Perna decided to
be a soldier, he says, but the real unsung
heroes are the fathers and mothers. You let
them leave home so they could train and
take the fight for America so the rest of us
could sleep without fear.
Perna explains, When you are in combat,
unfortunately people die. We do a

during the ceremony to honor the Gold Star

The North Star Seating Stage was built
for veterans to use during ceremonies and
visits to the AVM. It contains four areas to
accommodate wheelchairs; and two 19-foot
long continuous benches to seat about 100
visitors. Funding for the newly added seating area came from Urhmann, Karl Meier of
Meier Stone and Home Depot, as well as full
support by Mt. Olive Parks and Recreation
in its help preparing the seating site.

Surrounding the AVM grounds were 12
educational display booths that participated
in the pre-ceremony event, Patriots In The
Park. Various groups were represented such
as the Netcong VFW; Mt. Olive Girl Scouts
Association who handed out poppies and
letters to heroes; Mt. Olive Historical
Society who displayed names and faces of
Mt. Olive residents who have died while
serving as far back as World War I and the
Revolutionary War; Boy Scout Troop 249
who set up a re-enactment camp; and
Legacy of a Hero which is a non-profit
organization that provides financial, emotional and physical assistance to our true
heroes.
Also displayed in Patriots In the Park was
Sgt. Michael Kirspels Memorial Truck;
Robert Mulligans American Flag Car; and

Remembrance Ceremony. I believe we

were successful in our attempts to convey
the true meaning of Memorial Day. Not
only was it healing for the Gold Star
Mothers knowing we have not forgotten
their sons, but also those who attended.
I noticed an emotional and tearful
response flowing from a majority of those
present, she says. I saw many tears
throughout the ceremony and heard from
several people that the overall production
had a meaningful impact as to how they will
view Memorial Day moving forward.
Those Patriots who came to pay their
respect to our fallen heroes and to their family members never expected to gain a greater
understanding and deeper appreciation as to
the true cost of freedom, she says. As it
was intended, our program recognized all
service men and women from the beginning
of Americas conflicts to date.
Five Gold Star Mothers attended this
years ceremony and came from five different counties, says Urhmann. Her hopes are
to have more committed for next year to
possibly cover nine counties.
Urhmann says, We are already preparing for next years ceremony. We have an
amazing amount of responses already and
anticipate a growing program.

Fifth Grade Students Turn Into Entrepreneurs At CMS
By Cheryl Conway
ifth graders at Chester M. Stephens
Elementary School in Budd Lake
turned into business owners last
month, and for some made quite a nice
profit for their pocket.
Through a program called TREP$,
short for entrepreneurship, 56 students at
CMS participated in a series of five
workshops for 10 weeks after school
since March to learn various aspects of
running a business. The first time held at
an elementary school in Mt. Olive, the
culminating event was the TREP$
Marketplace, held Wed., May 13, 6:30
p.m. to 8 p.m.
About 350 people- from family members, friends, town and school officials,
teachers and residents from Mt. Olive and
even surrounding areas - packed the
schools gymnasium to shop at the marketplace. Each of the 49 businesses set up
shop at vending tabled lined in rows, with
their advertisements, products, calculators and money waiting to make a sale.
Some students decided to work with a
partner and co-ran their business, hence

the difference in numbers, explains
Jennifer Curry, Elementary Instructional
supervisor at CMS.
Products sold were original and varied
from string necklaces, headbands, tshirts, flavored dog treats, stress balls,
boxes made out of popsicle sticks, bandanas for dogs, decorated notebooks and
even homemade food items like cookies,
cupcakes, brownies, rice crispy treats and
fried Matza.
Just under fifty percent of the students sold out of their products and began
taking orders for additional merchandise, which they already made and distributed in school to customers, says
Curry. Some of the businesses that sold
out were: Sportmark - Daniel's Super
Sport Bookmarks by Daniel Franz;
Davoren Enterprised - Dog Tags 4 U by
Conor Davoren; Tooth Brush Bracelets "Brush" on by Nessie's table by Vanessa
Kihika; Will I Stand - Super Phone Stands
by Will Martelli; Brazillian Treats - "Get
a Taste of Brazil" by Carina Worsley;
Minecraft Necklace by Richie Martinez;

Everything Wood "Max's beautiful word
burnt designs" by Max Pollack.
Profits varied, some making more than
others. DJ Ryerson and Kisheeth
Reddivari made more than $300 with
their pop guns; and Emily Borozan,
Savannah Guinter, and Carley Solowsky
made more than $100 each with their

Athlete's Field T-Shirts and head bands,
says Curry.
The first time held at CMS, Curry says
the challenge next year will be space.
We anticipate having even more students
participate in TREPS after experiencing

the Marketplace this year. The buzz

around the building is still going strong!
We may need to find a bigger venue than
the CMS gymnasium.
The event attracted Mt. Olive Twp.
Mayor Rob Greenbam; school board
members Dr. Antoine Gayles and William
Robinson; Greg Stewart, president of the
Mt. Olive Chamber of Commerce; and
Pamela de Waal, co-founder of TREP$,
who spent time with each business
owner discussing their products and
thoughts about the program, says Curry.
It was an invaluable experience for our
young entrepreneurs.
Following TREP$, students participated in a final workshop called "Lessons
Learned." In that workshop, students
debriefed about the customer's reactions
to their produces and price, says Curry.
They reflected on their signage and table
display as well. The TREP$ Workshop
Facilitators (our teachers) also gave the
students a pizza party to celebrate their
success.
From the business owners, to the par-
ents and teachers, many were quite

pleased with the program.
The TREP$ program and the
Marketplace exceeded our expectations,
says Curry. The night was hugely successful and we were amazed with how
many businesses sold out. The students
were true professionals- from their choice
of dress, to their interactions with customers, to their table displays.
We could not be more proud of
them, she continues. They were so
proud of their products and you could see
their self-confidence grow throughout the
night. They are amazing students!
The program at CMS was made possible through support by the CMS-SCA,
which paid for start-up materials and
workbooks for each participant. Three
teachers ran the workshops for one hour
after school. Students were required to
purchase their own supplies for their business product.
TREP$ has been around for 10 years
and aims at teaching kids basic hands-on
skills in starting and operating a small
business.
New MO Health Officer Plans To Provide Best Services And Improvements
By Cheryl Conway
fter 18 years, Mt. Olive Township
has a new health officer- Trevor J.
Weigle of Bloomfield.
Weigle took over the reins as Health
Officer/ Director of the Mt. Olive Health
Department just this month, June 1, replacing Frank Wilpert Sen. of Jefferson who
has had the position since Nov. 1997. The
two health professionals will be working
together before Wilperts last day effective
July 1.
Weigle will be responsible for day-today operations in the health department to
include: senior transportation, registrar
oversight, animal control, public health
nursing, sanitary inspections, public health
fairs, and day-to-day operations in four
shared service community partner towns.
Working in health management since
2002 and as a health officer since 2003,
Weigle could not pass up the opportunity
to work as the new health officer in Mt.
Olive, in the footsteps of Wilpert.
I like Morris County and the health
officers and public health professionals in

After leaving Paterson, Weigle did

some consulting work for other health

the job was entitled to it since he was a resident. Paterson has a residency ordinance
giving qualified residents first choice of
job openings.

University with a masters degree in environmental studies and from the University

New MO Health Officer...

Weigle. My first public service job was

as an environmental specialist with the
Burlington County Health Department. I
soon noted that the health department did
more than just protect the physical environment. I became interested in those
other facets and eventually got my health
officer's license.
Weigle says he enjoys Helping others,
often without them even knowing.
Successful public health interventions is
the reason that we can go about our work
and play relatively confident, but without
realizing that, we can do so with little concern of disease, injury, etc.
He concludes, I look forward to continuing the good work that the health
department has done over the years under
Frank Wilpert's leadership. And I look forward to making improvements where necessary in order to bring the best services to
the residents and visitors of Mt. Olive and
the other towns that we serve, including
Wharton, Netcong, Mt. Arlington and
Dover.
One of Wilperts greatest accomplishments was establishing shared service
agreements, with the first one in 2000
between Mt. Olive and Netcong; followed
by shared service agreements with Mt.
Arlington, Wharton, and finally Dover in
2009.
Shared services include health officer,
sanitary inspectors, food inspection and
emergency preparedness. Mt. Olive also
has a shared service agreement for animal
control with Byram and Washington Twp.

Long-time Councilman Vacates Early For Relaxing And More Affordable Lifestyle
By Cheryl Conway
fter 13 years of working with five different mayors
and seven business administrators, Ray Perkins of
Budd Lake is ready to get up from his seat on the
council and retire.
Perkins resignation will take effect June 30, just five days
after he rings in his 62nd birthday. Serving his fourth term
on the council, Perkins decided to vacate before his 2017
term expires to retire early from his political career.
He hopes that as he leaves he has made his mark to
improve the lives of all those who dwell in Mt. Olive.
If I made a small difference and helped people, thats all
that matters, says Perkins, a 28-year MO resident. Did I
help somebody? If I did, then I did my part.
In his letter of resignation sent to township officials in
January, Perkins writes, I will leave my seat with the hope
that I have been able to improve the lives of our residents by
supporting law enforcement/emergency volunteers, supporting the municipal/school employees, controlling taxes,
opening transparency, and pushing Green/sustainable practices.
Faced with some medical issues, Perkins is anxious to
move on to a more relaxing life. He left his profession as a
regional account manager for Green Energy Efficient
Buildings in Dec. 2014. His wife, Lauren, just retired as the
Mt. Olive Zoning assistant, a job she held for just over 26
years.
Perkins is currently fighting Hepatitis C; and is a ten year

liver cancer survivor after his 2005 liver transplant. A
Vietnam veteran- who served in the Marine Corp. in 1972Perkins fears that veterans do not live too long, so he
wanted to take an early retirement.
It makes sense to move down south where its more
affordable, he says, and enjoy whatever time is left. He
and his wife are having a new house built in South Carolina,
25 minutes from the beach. But with anti-rejection medicine, Perkins says he cant get too much sun.
He still plans to enjoy the beach; we want to walk our
dogs, and enjoy other past-times like shopping, bingo,
socializing with friends, some traveling. Im going to try
my best to steer away from politics. I dont want a schedule;
want to do what we want to do.
They have one son, who will get to keep the house in
Budd Lake, says Perkins. Once grandkids start coming,
Perkins figures as people get older we dont get to see
them anyway. He also says he doesnt want to wind up
being a babysitter; over the river and through the woods to
grandmothers house we go. I raised mine; you raise yours.
In his 28 years of living in Mt. Olive, Perkins has been
involved in various civic, religious, and military organizations, such as the Zoning Board of
Adjustment from 1997-1999; Planning Board from 1999
to 2000; a founding member of the Mt. Olive Pride
Committee, which takes measures to beautify the township

to become more green and sustainable.
Energy audits were conducted to examine
usage lighting, air conditioning, energy controls to find ways to reduce those things in
order to conserve in the budget.
Through these efforts, Mt. Olive Twp.
was one of the first 32 municipalities under
the sustainable Jersey program, says
Perkins.
Dedicated just last year on Sept. 11,
2014, Perkins prides himself in his involvement in establishing the 911 Monument that
now stands at the front loop at Turkey Brook
Park in Budd Lake.
Perkins greatest enjoyment on the council has been his interaction with the community to see what their feelings are, how
taxes have affected them; taking their ideas
of recreation, business, taking them to the
council for discussions and making their

lives more enjoyable here.
He says he feels he has made a difference.
I helped to control taxes and made sure
residents are receiving services they are paying for at the highest level, says Perkins.
Mayor Rob Greenbaum, who had been
elected to the council with Perkins in 2001,
says Ray has worked tirelessly on behalf of
the township and his efforts have resulted in
numerous improvements in the town by way
of the Board of Health which he was chairman of for many years and through his service as a councilman and on the Planning
Board. Ray brought a particular knowledge
of the water and wastewater industries
which will be missed.
I am happy for Ray and Lauren in both
of their joint retirements and wish them
health and happiness in their futures, adds
Greenbaum.
The Republican County Committee will
provide three names from which the Mt.
Olive Twp. Council will choose Perkins
replacement. After his retirement takes
effect, the council will have until July 30- 30
days to fill the seat.

Test Scores And Performance Play Into MOHS Ranking For Top High Schools
By Chelsea Opong-Wadeer
n this years U.S. News and World
Report Ranking, Mt. Olive High
School was ranked 50 in the state of
New Jersey, along with other schools in
Morris County.
Its not about the numbers, says
Kevin Stansberry, principal of MOHS,
but what the numbers represent. We dont
get tied up in the numbers, but they do tell
a story to show that learning does take
place here.
According to U.S. News website, U.S.
News and World Report look for college
readiness, math proficiency, and language
arts proficiency when ranking schools.
U.S. News and World Report conduct
annual rankings in the top 58 high schools,
which include magnet, charter and public
schools in their rankings. To be eligible for
a state ranking, a school must be awarded
a national gold or silver metal.
For MOHS, this is its first time being
recognized in U.S. News and World
Report. According to Stansberry, Mt. Olive
has improved in its SAT scores, averages
in AP scores percentages and in performance by students across the spectrum.
Only good things can happen when
you factor in these things, Stansberry
said.
In the previous year, Mt. Olive went
from 90 to 69 in NJ Monthly according
to Stansberry. NJ Monthly considers a
high schools change of criteria, department of school report cards, which make
up three parts. One is the challenge of college and career, the readiness for students
who are about to enter college, and the
number of students who take the AP tests

and their results.
AP testing depends on a families ability to support and pay for testing, he said,
PSAT testing can be paid for by the Board
of Education, because some families cant
afford to take the SATs so that becomes an
issue.
Stansberry continued to explain how
Mt. Olive does have higher peer cohort
and a very diverse population that they are
continuing to make stronger. According to
Stansberry, Diversity is our strength, the
schools multitude of electives allows students to pursue a career path and set them
up for success in college.
Some challenges Mt. Olive has faced
have been with the changing of standardized testing for the state, such as the introduction of the PARCC Testing.
It is easier to get there, he said, than
it is to stay at the performance. Our ranking though is a by product of our success
here at Mt. Olive; its not the only important factor.
Our ranking doesnt drive what we do
here, he said. Rank has the students
think about thinking.
He explained how the strength in the
communication skills between students in
how they express themselves to work in a
collaborative environment to improve
themselves, is what makes the ranking. He
added how the community also plays a role
in the success of Mt. Olive High School.
They have always supported the mission and vision of MOHS, he said. They
have elected members for the Board of
Education, who are life long partners. I am

looking forward to our continued work as
a partnership.
Stansberry, who has been the principal
for MOHS for the past 12 years, has been
in the Mt. Olive School District for the
past 19 years. He became the principal in
Jan. 2004 and has loved every minute of it.
I have been able to see the community

and passion for learning grow here, he
said. It has been a privilege and honor to
be apart of that. Its been an incredible
journey to rise to the challenge.
When he first started out as the principal, MOHS was in the 160s in its ranking,

plans to host the third annual Raiders of the
Lost Park Mud Run, Sat., June 20 in Turkey
Brook Park in Flanders. The event is open to
adults and children over six years old. With
a new course including 17 obstacles and

for every U.S. soldier killed, seven are
wounded. The goal of The Wounded Warrior
Project is to foster the most successful, welladjusted generation of wounded service
members in our nation's history.

Mountain View On Top For Math
ountain View Elementary School

in Flanders has been honored by
First In Math as one of the programs top 10 schools in the country, based
on number of math problems solved online.
The school has surpassed six million total
math problems, an astonishing achievement,
particularly since this is the first year that the
school has participated.

Mountain View received a commemorative plaque and all teachers and students
received congratulatory letters as a reward.
There is such value in this program,
said Dr. Frank Fischel, the school principal.
Students work at their own pace and set
their own personal goals. It allows kids who
need a little extra help a chance to work on

their skills and it allows kids who excel to go
beyond what is taught in the classroom.
First In Math has been nothing short of a
phenomenon this year for two primary reasons: it offers a nurtured competiveness in
learning games and is a first-class recognition program.

Night Of Poetry Opens Up Environment For Conversation
By Cheryl Conway
n its second year, the Open Mic Night of
Poetry is providing students as young as
eight years old in the district a platform
to share their creative thoughts, strengthen
their confidence and build public speaking
skills.
On April 28, 55 students in grades three
through twelve, participated in the Poetry
Night at the Mt. Olive High School
Performing Arts Center. The program is
organized through the MOHS National
English Honors Society, which was just
recently recognized by the Mt. Olive Twp.
Board of Education as a full club/organization.
Having a night of poetry opens the doors
for many to create, reflect, gather and share
in their commonality- their love for writing.
I was proud of how many students had
the creativity to write and submit a poem
and the courage to present it to an auditorium full of Mt. Olive community members
and fellow students, says Kristen
Casabona, ninth grade Language Arts
instructor and adviser to NEHS. I was so
proud to watch the students share their work
with the audience. As each student left the
stage, big smiles spread across their faces.
From poems about spaghetti and meatballs
to poems about society and conformity, the
poems demonstrated the interests of our students.
As the NEHS advisor, Casabona says it
is my job to bring events to the school and
community that help promote literacy. The
three pillars of NEHS are duty, service, and
honor. The Poetry Night is a great way to
celebrate National Poetry Month (April) and
recognize some of the hard work and literacy skills of our students, while helping us
fulfill these three pillars of NEHS.
The idea for the Open Mic Night was
brought on last year by a 2014 MOHS graduate, Chelsea Opong-Wadeer, 19, of
Flanders. Opong-Wadeer had attended a
conference with her church group to St.
Louis, MI, in the summer of 2013 when she
was introduced to an Open Night Mic.
Seminar The speaker, Micah Bournes,
shared his poem to the group and invited the
students to share a poem of their own.
For me, I hadnt written poetry for a
really long time, since sixth grade, says
Opong-Wadeer, who just finished her first
year at the University of Rhode Island as a
journalism major. I started getting involved
in other things.
Apprehensive at first to participate,

Opong-Wadeer decided 30 minutes before
the seminar that Im gonna do it. In minutes, she created a poem that would impact
the audience; completely true with my inner
thoughts. I was very nervous, she says,
since there were 200 people in the room.
Im a really good public speaker, she
admits, but never shared her poetry before.
I walked up there with my phone in my
hand, written in my notes, went up to the
mic, and I remember finishing it and I got
a standing ovation. A lot of people came up
to her at the end and said she inspired them.
Opong-Wadeers poem was about not
feeling comfortable in my own skin. It
touches on her true accounts and feelings
about being bullied when she was growing
up. Although people tend to put me down,
I appreciate my own beauty.
The experience had such an impact on
Opong-Wadeer that she decided to bring it to
her NEHS advisor during her senior year.
With the advisors full support, OpongWadeer got busy making flyers, contacting
elementary schools and encouraging them to
submit original or favorite poems.
When Chelsea first came up with the
idea I had no idea how large of an event it
would become, says Casabona, who started
the MO NEHS in 2012/2013, her second
year at MOHS.
The first year, there were more than 90
submissions and NEHS accepted about 50
students to read their poems at the Poetry
Night celebration.
This year we topped that number with
almost 100 submissions, says Casabona.
Any students whose poems were not selected to be read at Poetry Night still had their
poems proudly displayed in the lobby of our
Performing Arts Center.
Although Opong-Wadeer was unable to
attend this years event since she was away
at college, MOHS paid tribute to her with a
visual recording. Opong-Wadeer delivered a
message to the audience explaining why she
started the event, and thanked everyone for
participating.
Even at a young age, you can make an
impact, says Opong-Wadeer, who is working part-time as a summer intern with New
View Media Group. You dont have to be a
wise adult to impact anybody. It doesnt
matter if we are really young or really old.
We can all make an impact anywhere. Im
thankful I was able to do it; I wanted to leave
an impact.
Many told me its a wonderful event; its

an outlet for people, she continues. When
do we sit and have these conversations?
She has set up an environment to be
open, so that we have that place where we
can go and people can be themselves; so
people can be who they are in society with-
out judgment, says Opong-Wadeer, who

has written about 15 poems, sharing some
on her universitys radio station last year.
At last years event, $200 was raised and
donated to the Edison School District for the
school that burned down so they could buy

High School Senior Self-Publishes Book On Life Struggles
By Chelsea Opong-Wadeer
n todays society there
are million and one
pressures to try and
look like the models that
have been overly photo
shopped in magazines.
These images are almost
inevitable to obtain.
But because of these
ideas, people find themselves hating who they are
and can become severely
depressed. Katherine Kat
Granke, 18, of Budd Lake,
wants to change this way of
life.
Granke, a Mt. Olive
High School senior, published her first paperback
book, Here to Infinity on
April 8. Grankes book
contains her own writings
of a not-so-average teen
going through real life
struggles that many teens
and even adults face on a
day-to-day basis.
Granke started writing

her own poetry when she
was a freshman in high
school. Growing up she
always liked to try and
write her own songs, but at
one point when she was
writing one song she decided it would sound better if

she continued it as a poem.
This sparked Grankes love
for writing.
MOHS Senior English
Teacher, Audrey Strahl,
described Grankes writing as very

strong, personal, and introspective.
Strahl said, She is not afraid to put it
all out there; and besides the relatable
factor a word I usually hate when talking
about writing and books its about more
than commonality. Its about inspiration,
and knowing that one can overcome anything.
Highly supporting Grankes writing,
Strahl said when Granke came into class
with her book in hand, she immediately
bought one and encouraged her students to
purchase one as well.
At my age, she said, I can think back
on much of what she is talking about, but I
am also looking at this all from a space
thats past much of this, and also quite
happy and even thankful my experiences
are from a world view that knows time can
change or heal all.
Preteens and teens are specifically
Grankes target audience; those that may
have gone through similar struggles of
depression. She explained how this age
group usually has a very hard time during
this period in their lives, trying to figure
out where they belong and how to fit in.
Grankes book starts off with a dedication to everyone who has ever been a part
of her life. To those who have chosen to
stick around and who have become not
only her support system, but also her family. Her close friends and herself are who
specifically have played a huge role in
impacting her life.
I truly believe that as I was going
through my depression, I was categorized
as two different people, she said. One
was so negative and in the darkest of
places, and one who was waiting on the
other side pulling for the negative one to
get where she was. I wasnt whole and Im
still not, but I will be.
Grankes experience with her depression is what inspired her to write her book.
She explained how writing was her outlet
because her friends could only be there for
her so much. The second part of her dedication is to anyone and everyone struggling or not, to feel as if they are not alone,
and that as clich as it seems, there is
always a light at the end of the tunnel.
This second half of the dedication lays
out the central theme and purpose of her
Self-Publishes Book...
book. According to Granke, she wrote her

book in separate pieces, each piece written
at a different time. She put her negative
and darkest pieces in the beginning of the
book on purpose so the readers could see
how one can turn a negative situation into
a positive one. As readers continue, they
are taken on a journey of a not-so-average
teens lifestyle dealing with depression and
how she made her way out of it in a positive light.
Granke did share a fun fact that during
her editing process, when she was fixing
spelling mistakes, the spacing between
paragraphs got a little messed up.
Thats not how its supposed to be,
she laughed as she explained, but it
worked because my book is about making
mistakes and overcoming them anyways.
She published her book through
lulu.com, a self-publishing website.
Granke described the process as intense.
She did all the editing herself over and

over again, but to her it was all worth it.
Her overall hopes for her book are to
sell out, to help people, and to grab the
attention of American comedian and television host Ellen DeGeneres. She hopes
that her book will change hearts and give
people hope, and if DeGeneres can be of
assistance she wouldnt be opposed to
being on her show to talk about it.
Granke does hope to write another book
someday. She does not know exactly what
it will be about yet, but definitely wants to
keep relating to her readers and try to lift
their spirits.
Her overall message to her readers is
Do not give up, because at the end of the
day tomorrow is a new chance to make it
better.
Interested buyers can purchase her book
online at lulu.com for $15 or they can
email Granke at heretoinfinitybook@
yahoo.com.

that students were already accustomed to. Add in the interactive elements of the website the program kicks up the fun
to addictive levels, with games that not only emphasize
numerical fluency and math skills, but also strengthen problem-solving, critical thinking, and communication skills.
The recognition program at Mountain View has also
worked to keep excitement in First In Math consistently
high. The hallway walls are filled with bulletin boards and
displays recognizing the individual achievements and
progress of students. Huge posters designed by librarian
Melissa Marvin are displayed throughout the school and celebrate the achievements of classes as a whole. It is a focused
effort that has evolved and grown over the course of the
school year.
The recognition was a big part of it, said fifth-grade
teacher Tammy Lash about her class, which has solved more
problems than any other in the building (nearly 500,000 at
the time of this writing). When the students saw they were
being constantly recognized both as individuals and as a
class, it gave them a sense of pride and accomplishment. It
keeps them going.
Another factor that has made First In Math such a success
is the website itself. Its not mindless repetition. The website
gauges the ability of students and customizes math games to
keep kids on their toes.
The interactive math games are tailored for each grade
level and ability. Students can play in class as directed by
their teachers as part of the school day; however, the students log the majority of their time on the site at home. With
unique sign-ins and passwords for each student, the First In
Math site tracks the correct number of solved problems.
Students accrue virtual stickers that equate to points, earn
higher rankings as they progress, and vie to become a Player
of The Day by answering the most questions among their
classmates.
Gloria Silva, a leave replacement basic math skills
teacher, helps coordinate First In Math at Mountain View.
First In Math was provided to Mountain View free of charge
thanks to Robert Sun, First In Math founder.
Complete instructions will

be distributed to all Mt.
Olive schools at that time.
Besides Poetry Night,
NEHS has been involved in
a wide range of events during the past three years, such
as Safe Trick or Treat, the
Leo's Club Garage Sale and
Applebees' Fundraiser. The
group has inducted 70 members since its inception.
Opong-Wadeer received
a Service Scholarship
through the NEHS for college to recognize her contribution for her Night of
Poetry in MO.

"
Honest And Friendly Service At Budd Lake Transmission And Auto Repair
ave a Coke and a smile" when visiting Budd Lake

Transmissions and Auto Repair on Route 46 in
Budd Lake.
Charlie Wohlleb, owner/ president of the auto shop, has
been in business in Mt. Olive for nine years now. Wohlleb,
of Newton, opened his shop in Budd Lake in 2008 after his
shop in Sparta-Sparta Transmission and Auto Repair- got too
busy and overcrowded.
"I needed a second shop to take the over- load," says
Wohlleb. The parking lot is too
small in Sparta and he no longer had room for all the cars,
he adds. "I also wanted to extend to another region," he says.
Customers can expect outstanding service, accurate
estimates and professional workmanship.
Working on cars comes naturally to Wohlleb, who has
been in the business for the past 41 years since he was 15
years old.
"I was born into the business," he says. Wohlleb's father
started his own transmission shop in 1953 and he had
worked with him at his shop in Andover, until it was sold in
2003. "I would watch him work since I was able to pick
things up," he adds.
Besides experience, Wohlleb earned his degree from
Sussex County Vo- Tech in Sparta and constantly upgrades
his skills by attending seminars.
"I like to work on the cars, the challenges it brings," says
Wohlleb. "I enjoy finding the problem with the car. I also
like working with people." Wohlleb specializes in transmission work and his ability to rebuild them himself.
At Budd Lake Transmissions and Auto Repair,

"Transmissions are built on site," says Wohlleb, unlike other
auto shops that order them. "We don't sublet them. "We do
more in house repairs and we fix things," he explains. "A lot
of the other shops replace things. They buy rebuilds and put
them in cars. This costs more. You can save half the cost by
having it rebuilt rather than buying a rebuilt one."
In addition to transmission repair, Budd Lake
Transmissions and Auto Repair provides complete autorepair, including brakes, suspension work, tune-ups and routine maintenance. Technicians use electronic computerized
diagnostic testing for complete engine overhaul and transmission repair, he adds.
Customers can also expect honest and friendly service at
Budd Lake Transmissions and Auto Repair.
"My philosophy is to run a friendly shop, give good service and be honest," says Wohlleb.
"I let them know up front what the cost is going to be,"
he says. "I try to be as honest as I can without surprises to
the customer. I give people up front estimates. I diagnose the
job and let the people know upfront what it's going to cost
this way there are no surprises."
Knowledgeable staff is also a guarantee at Budd Lake
transmissions. "All of my mechanics are certified. They are
friendly, courteous and respectful of people."
Wohlleb guarantees all of the work done at his shop. He
also offers rental cars at the shop, through his own company-Mirage Rental Cars.
And of course, don't forget the Coke. His shop in Budd
Lake and in Sparta is decorated with Coca-Cola memorabilia. Wohlleb filled his shops with his antique Coca-Cola collection from the 1940's and 50's.
"It brings back a lot of memories ," he explains. "It makes
the people want to come back-it takes them back to the time
they were kids." Then "they bring their kids in to see the old
Coke memorabilia."
Homes For Heroes Arrives In

Mt.Olive And Surrounding Area
reated following the tragic events

of Sept. 11, 2001, and bolstered
by a shared admiration for the
heroes of our communities, a group of
Minnesota business owners created an
innovative network called Homes for
Heroes. With the far reaching power of
the internet, what started as a local effort
quickly grew and became the nations
largest hero savings program. Homes for
Heroes aim is to help close the gap
between the costs of housing for: military
personnel, police officers, firefighters,
teachers, first responders, and others who
serve our community and nation.
Homes for Heroes affiliates with
Realtors, mortgage lenders, title companies, attorneys and other service
providers who agree to provide significant rebates and discounts to those who
serve our nation and its communities
every day. It is our way of saying Thank
You to those that give up so much for us
on a daily basis. With over 1500 affiliates in 48 states, their generous Homes
for Heroes affiliates have saved heroes
more than $8 million dollars in buying,
selling or refinancing a home, as their
way of saying thank you!
Over the years, through Homes for
Heroes, many Heroes contacted them to
assist with more dire assistance. These
calls often far surpassed the scope of the
programs mission. After much thought
and desire to help, they formed a charitable 501(c) (3) nonprofit. The Homes for
Heroes Foundation assists heroes who
demonstrate great need pertaining to
housing. A portion of every home buying
or selling transaction goes to the foundation to help those in housing need.
More information about the National
program can be found at www.HomesFor
Heroes.com or by calling Ralph
Ruggiero of Coldwell Banker-973-6077855 or RuggieroRealtor@gmail.com.

By Cheryl Conway
ike couples who
wind up having a
lot of kids, Alma
Lugo of Budd Lake experienced much the same but
with dogs- seven to be
exact.
Whether a stray dog, or
one that broke her heart at
the pound, Lugo could not
walk away from these
Huskies and pit-bulls who
needed a home. Since
2006, Lugos family has
grown as she currently
cares for three huskies and
four pit-bulls.
But with tougher financial times, Lugo is looking
for
some
assistance
whether it includes watching her dogs as foster families so she can participate
in a three-week humanitarian service project
overseas in July or Aug; or
finding a permanent home
for some of her dogs.
Seven dogs, two kids,
a husband- it is a lot, says
Lugo. Its getting harder.
I left my job. Financially,
Lugo says its getting
scary between medical
bills, grooming in the winter, dog food, pet sitting.
Living in Budd Lake
for 16 years with her husband, Israel, and their two
teenage kids, Lugo got her
first dog in 2006.
Somebody called us;
there was a stray dog in
Queens, she says. The
person was a friend of her
husbands and he knew
Israel liked Huskies.
Attempts were made to
find the owner. People
would take her but they
would get into fights. We
had a fenced in yard so we
could take her. So they
did. Lady is a female, 10year old Husky.
Dog Loving Family Seeks Foster Care

For Seven Dogs To Help People In Honduras
Lady wasnt being so

friendly in the dog park,
so we said lets get a
friend for her. Lugo
brought Lady to Noahs
Ark in 2007 and that was
when she met Max, who is
also a 10-year old Husky.
She decided to adopt him.
Three years later, in
2010, the same friend of
Israels contacted them
again, to tell them there
was another dog they
found in the streets. He
was tied up outside, winter
came. They called the
police, who was going to
put the dog in a shelter
and eventually would have
him euthanized.
We knew that a Husky
in Queens is a bad recipe,
says Lugo. Huskies have
a lot of energy. They need
space; they need to be running. Theyre not a little
dog; they get antsy.
Lugo decided to bring
this Husky to her house
temporarily. We wanted
to find a home for him.
But Jason, also 10, was
different than the other
two Huskys and Lugo
could not let him go.
He was a sweetheart
and a protector, she says.
Hes a huge dog with a
heart of a bunny. He was
very protective of my
daughter and my son,
which
is
unusual.
Huskies arent like that;
theyre not a protective
dog. Hes wise; hes very
smart.
I took him in to find a
home for him because two
dogs was more than plenty, says Lugo. That was
five years ago. We just
kept him.
All was manageable
with the Lugo family,
three Huskys and two
kids. But in 2013, that all

changed.
Lugo was a bus driver
for Randolph schools and
she would park her bus
near the shelter in
Randolph.
When I would have
my break, Id go help in
the shelter as a volunteer,
she explains. So many
dogs needed help to foster. That was when Lugo
came across Rossi, a oneyear old stray pit-bull who
came from a bad area in
Orange and was abused,
pregnant and placed in a
kill shelter, where dogs
are kept for a short
amount of time and then
euthanized.
It was very sad, says
Lugo. Our heart was broken. She was just pure ribs
and bones.
She brought her husband to the shelter to meet
Rossi and they decided to
bring her home to foster
her while the shelter continued to find a family to
adopt her.
The day we brought
her home, she had puppies, Lugo says. She
gave birth to 11 puppies.
The woman in the shelter
said she is so ready; if you

have a needle she will
pop. Lugo didnt think
the birth would be the day
she brought her home.
Inexperienced in help-
ing a dog have puppies,

Lugo says We just did it.
We enjoyed it; didnt
know how much work it
would be. It was the summer; we had the summer
off.
Lugo found homes for
all the puppies, which
were 100 percent pit-bull,
but decided to keep Rossi,
Seven Dogs...
two of her pups that got very attached to her, and a deaf
sibling. Mercedes is the brown pup; Destiny is deaf; and
Flow is white with blue eyes. They celebrated their second birthday June 13.
It ended up we all stayed together, says Lugo.
That was my goal; if I save those lives, they got families that love them. We really made sure they were all
loved and cared for.
Theres so much need for animals, says Lugo.
Shelters are overflowing. We love dogs. Whatever I
can do to help with dogs; I can see how much they
love. This past winter, she found a dog running around
so she called animal control that helped find the owner.
Not just dogs, do it for any animal, a bird, a turtle.
These are animals; we can do more to help them. When
you can stretch your arm a little morebut Lugo
admits she may have stretched hers too far.
This has been the biggest project of my life.
While she would hate to see her family split up, Lugo
says if we can find permanent people to adopt the ones
we have, if we can find the right home that would give
more attention, more love, more fun than us, then we
will pass them along.
Lugo says, we do walk them but we do it as a pact.
But Huskies need more attention, one on one, because
they are older. My dream would be to take them on road
trips, but I have seven of them.
To save with spending, Lugo does most of their
grooming herself by cutting their nails, brushing their
teeth; but in the winter she gets them cleaned professionally as the Huskies hair is too difficult to dry.
She buys one big bag of dry dog food every nine
days, then I cook for them, meats, stew, carrots, apple,
lettuce.
Lugos goal is to find a permanent home for atleast
two of the dogs. But until then, she is still looking for
foster families to care for the dogs so she and her family can take a three week trip to Honduras to help children over there who are extremely poor and cant
afford to go to school.
In Honduras, 95 percent of the children go up to
sixth grade, says Lugo, who grew up in Honduras
before coming to the U.S. 25 years ago. Parents dont
have money for transportation, uniform or registration
so they go to work in the field with parents and thats
how life goes. Theres so many needs.
Her family participated in the service project just
over a year ago. Besides helping them financially when
she is there, Lugo likes to help out with sewing; her husband helps with carpentry; and her kids want to teach
the children there English.
If interested in fostering any of Lugos dogs so she
can help the people in Honduras, email at
almallq@yahoo.com; or call 973-229-0603.

Owners Marco Rojas and Carlos Cervantes joined their
years of passion to establish one of the finest Mexican
area restaurants.
Rojas, from Guadalajara Mexico, developed his
regional style of Mexican cooking in his mothers
kitchen. It was there where he learned how to use the
fresh produce, cheese, and meats from the local merchants.
Relocated to New Jersey in the late eighties, Rojas
expanded his skills of international cuisine working as
executive chef at The Black Horse Pub in Mendham and
The Short Hills Club in Short Hills.
I named our restaurant Fresco (fresh) because there
really is no other way, Rojas says on his website.
Cervantes, from Key West, started his career in hotels
at the famed Pier House Beach Club and Resort. After
moving to NJ in 1988, Carlos managed various restaurants throughout the northern NJ area; including 15
years at The Madison Hotel in Morristown as a sales and
catering manager.
The two joined forces in 2006 with Fresco in
Flanders, moved to Chester four years later, and then
one year later, in 2011, opened up a unique gift shop
right next door- Random Acts of Fresco - featuring
hand-crafted artisan imports from countries such as
Mexico, Peru, Guatemala, Haiti, India and Ecuador.
Unlike various countries represented at the boutique,
the restaurant features all Mexican specialties. For
drink, customers can bring their own alcohol, and add to
the restaurants fresh made non-alcoholic margarita
mix. Mexican sodas are available, but the Hibiscus Iced
Tea made from the dry flower is most refreshing. Guests
can buy a bag full of the flowered leaves at the restaurant and at Random Acts of Fresco to make their own at
home.
The best, homemade tortilla chips with salsas such as
mild chipotle and tomatillo salsa with cilantro comes
next. Chilled Gazpacho, a cold tomato soup with
cucumbers and chopped vegetable garnish of peppers
and onions is popular to start.
If dining with another, the Bocadillo Platter appetizer is a great one to share as it includes three specialtiesChicken Empanadas, Beef Taquitos, and Guacamole
that is chunky style and as fresh as it gets.
The Sangrita Chicken Salad comes marinated in
homemade orange-tomato dressing, and includes crisp
greens, grapes, avocado, fried plantains, spiced pecans
and fresh orange.
For an entre, the Shrimp Al Pastor Molcajete is a
house specialty served hot in a bubbling Aztec Stone
Dish, which can also be purchased at the boutique next
door. Enjoy fresh, full of flavor shrimp combined with
chorizo, and fresh pineapple with poblano peppers, and
onions in a spicy ancho chili sauce; and accompanied
with Mexican rice, refried beans, and homemade tortillas. Preparations of this dish change weekly.
Some other entrees on the menu include burritos,
paninis, tacos, and wraps all popular for lunch; and a
variety of dishes like enchiladas, chimichangas, chile
relleno, nachos and so many dishes varying chicken,
pork, steak, shrimp and vegetarian.
On the kids menu, young guests can enjoy favorites
like salchipulpo, quesadillas, nachos and more.
Whether an appetizer, entre, dessert or a drink, presentation is eye appealing.
The Pastel de Tres Leches which is a moist vanilla
cake soaked in three types of milk and brandy, with a
layer of white icing, swirled chocolate sauce on the
plate and two sliced strawberries. Sharing is not recommended, as it is that good and definitely worth the calories.
Fresco Mexican also collaborates with The Sweet
Spot Bake Shoppe down the street in Chester, offering
their Chocolate Coffee Brownie Pops and Lime
Margarita bars. Cervantes is working on adding
Margarita Cheesecake to his dessert menu.
Once the owners were settled in their new restaurant,
they started to research the idea for a boutique next
door, says Cervantes. Just one year later, Random Acts
of Fresco opened its doors.
Random Fresco started with Mexican art, so he and
his partners visited Mexico and came back with fabulous finds, all purchased from wonderful artists throughout the region. Random has since expanded to other
countries and filled up the boutique with Ecuadorian
jewelry; textiles and embroidered pillows from
Guatemala; scarves from India; Haitian metal art made
from discarded 55 gallon steel oil drums recycled into
wall dcor like a giant sunflower; Impressive pottery;
and upscale jewelry with gold and pearls featuring

artists from New York and Boston.
Customers stand in awe at the selection and variety,
such as heart sconces made from iron, Day of The Dead
Art like the painted ceramic skulls and skull wine stoppers, a fan favorite, Mexican mirrors with tin roses
made out of recycled aluminum, leather and fabric
handbags, woven belts from India, a pig sculpture with
four pigs standing on top of the other, iridescent glasses
made from blow fused glass in Mexico, authentic
Mexican saddle purses, printed scarves, decorative
plates, candles, table runners, picture frames, statues,
vases, colorful necklaces, earrings, bracelets, and so
much more.
Customers will also appreciate the later hours and
outside dining in the front patio open as the weather permits from spring to the fall.

Food Pantry Teams Up With Restaurant For Fundraising Food Drive
By Cheryl Conway
unning out of staple items for local
residents, The Mt. Olive Food
Pantry is partnering with an area
restaurant to sponsor a food drive.
Romanos
Macaroni
Grill
on
International Drive in Budd Lake has
offered to collect needy food items and
sponsor a fundraiser to help out the community pantry. Fundraiser Night benefitting Partners in Compassion- Mount Olive
Pantry is set for Sun., July 12, through Fri.,
July 17.
During those five days, if a customer
comes in with a code on a phone or a flyer
and a canned food item, the Macaroni Grill
will donate a portion of their lunch or dinner check to the Mt. Olive Food Pantry. A
food collection box will be situated inside
the restaurant.
This is a real blessing for the pantry,
says Sue Morse of Hackettstown, volunteer administrator for the Mt. Olive Pantry.
We need donations badly. It regularly
depletes. Its a community effort.
Contributors can enjoy a dinner out and
they can also help others who need help.
Morse, who frequents the Macaroni
Grill often with her husband Rich, shared
her food pantry struggles with some of the
managers and employees who work there.
The restaurant was more than eager to give
a helping hand.
We have been inspired by the effort
and hard work of Susan and her husband
Rich who devote their lives each and every
day to helping those who need it, says
Casey Griffin, general manager at the Mt.
Olive Macaroni Grill. We are a large
company that is a part of this community
and we as well have an obligation to give
back in any way that we can.
Griffin says, We are finally getting
involved in the local community because
the company has been and is going in a
new positive direction that allows us to get
involved. Myself and service manager
Madior Khoussa are looking for any
opportunity that allows us to gain exposure
through events like this not only benefitting a great cause but brings in new guests
and or old guests that have not visited us
before or have stopped visiting us.
At the end of the six days, we tally up
all of the sales that were generated by anyone who presented the fundraising flyers.
Depending on the amount of sales generat-
ed a certain percentage will be sent out.

The more money that is spent by guests
who participate, the more percentage the
restaurant will donate, she explains. If $1$1,000 is raised, 10 percent will be donated; if $1,001- $5000, then 15 percent will
be donated; if the amount reaches $5,001
or more, 20 percent of the proceeds will be
donated.
Its first time partnering with a local
business, the Mt. Olive Food Pantry had
been partnered with the township, up until
a year and a half ago, when the pantry
moved its location from town hall to the
Christ Episcopal Church in Budd Lake in
May 2014. The business location is at
Mountain Top Church in Budd Lake.
In the past, food donations have come
from the Mt. Olive Chamber of Commerce
which hosts an annual drive around
Thanksgiving and Christmas, as well as
other groups such Kiwanis and Rotary
Club.
Weekly donations have come from a
local farm; Weiss Foods donated bread and
pastries; and Mt. Olive Bagels donated
bagels, says Morse, who is retired and was
asked by her church pastor at Mountain
Top Church to serve as pantry administrator.
More and more people in the community are recognizing the existence of the
food pantry and the need, says Morse,
who has been a food pantry volunteer
since January.
My role is to organize it, says Morse,
to take in the food donations; get it up on
the shelves.
The challenge is that the need is
increasing in the town, she says. Its
been increasing as more people find out
about it, more people come in. Mothers
with children come in, adults not working,
senior citizens who dont make enough
money. There are more people working
more than one job.
On a busy day, the pantry can see a
dozen families, she says, adding that about
60 families per month visit the pantry for
food. Customers must live in town or
attend a local house of worship.
A lot people that come in, its not the
place they want to be; they do it cause they
have to, says Morse.
To run a food pantry, A food drive is
an ongoing thing, explains Morse.
Hunger continues; it goes past the holi-
days.
Morse says she tries to keep the stocks
shelved with staple items.
There are certain food items I try to
keep in stock, she says. Personal care
items are nice, but not something Im
going to buy. Staple items include canned
tuna or chicken, baby food, soup, canned
vegetables, cereals, instant potatoes,
instant oatmeal, macaroni and cheese, vegetable oil, pastas, rice-no greater than two
pound bags, peanut butter, jam or jelly,
tomato products, tomato sauce and vinegar.
Anything else is gravy, she says, or a
blessing. Right now I want to keep basic
foods, non-perishable foods to put together a basic dinner.
Morse says some generous contributors
like to give 50 pound bags of rice or potatoes but the problem is she cannot open the
bag and break anything large down. I
cant give out an opened bag. Everything
must be canned or sealed, and not expired.
A second food collection box will be
placed at the church for the upcoming food
drive.
A lot of people have come out to volunteer; it has to be a community effort,
says Morse. We need contributions of
both food and funds.
Looking for food sources, Morse plans
to check out other food pantries for ideas.
Food is out there, she says, You just

have to find it.
She is also looking for a larger location
to house the food pantry, with more refrigeration, freezer space, shelving. The pantry
is currently located inside a 500 sq. ft.
classroom at the Christ Episcopal Church,
which is bigger than the space provided at
town hall, but yet not big enough. Morse
has been using the church hall to sort and
check dates on donations; and says she
really needs atleast 2,500 sq. feet to store
the food.
To better serve the community, we
need more space; we need to expand, says
Morse. You need room to shop. Families
come in; you need the room.
Morse describes, If you come in, you
are going to see people getting registered
and waiting their turn. The classroom is off
the hall. They get a shopping cart; they
come out, we pack them up. You need the
space for people to come in and be there. If
we expand, we will be better able to serve
the community.
Run by four volunteers who rotate their
time, the food pantry is open twice weekly: Tues., 9:30 a.m. to noon; and Sat., 11
a.m. to 1 p.m.; and second and fourth
Mon., 6:30 p.m. to 8 p.m.
For more information, call the food
pantry at 862-251-3928 ; or visit its
Facebook page.

Maternick Recognized By Mt. Olive Chamber For Community Service
any individuals give their time to their community. Some individuals, however, go well
beyond that. Steve Maternick, of Hackettstown
is one of those people who definitely fits into that latter
description.
A long-time volunteer of various service groups and
charitable organizations, Maternick has been selected to
receive the Mount Olive Area Chamber of Commerce's
prestigious Humanitarian of the Year Award for 2015.
Maternick will be honored at a special dining event on
Tues., June 30, during a cruise on Lake Hopatcong.
The Humanitarian Award honors the memory of Tom
Klecka, a true community humanitarian from Mt. Olive,
and is presented annually to a person who demonstrates
dedication and commitment to volunteer efforts for the
betterment of our fine community and its citizens.
The Chamber will also honor a high school senior with
a scholarship during the cruise, which will be catered by
Alice's Restaurant. For the past 15 years, he has worked
as the director of Development for Hackettstown Regional
Medical Center and serves as the executive director for the
HRMC Foundation. But it's his involvement in the community that stands out among many.
"Steve was the clear choice for the Humanitarian
Award this year," said Greg Stewart, president of the
Chamber. "His efforts in the region are second to none. He
Habitat To Open At MOHS This Fall
t. Olive High School Biology Teacher Stephanie

Makala has a classroom that is bursting with life.
There are turtles, frogs, crickets, fish, and even a
tarantula. Its no wonder that her students love coming to
class.
Starting this fall, all of Mt. Olive High School and even
the district will have a chance to experience and interact with
creatures from near and far. Makala is supervising the creation of a habitat on the lower level of the school. The space,
which can be viewed from the first level of the building, has
was nominated by several people, which says something

right there."
As a resident of the Hackettstown community since
1988, Maternick has been an active member of the
Kiwanis Club of Hackettstown since 1999; was chair of
the Kiwanis Bell-Ringing program over the holidays, raising money to help provide gift cards during the holiday
season for local families in need; and volunteers with the
Hackettstown Foundation for Educational Excellence,
which raises funds to provide grants to Hackettstown
school teachers for innovative programs that support the
curriculum.
In 2012, Maternick became a member of the
Hackettstown Free Public Library board and is now its
current president; also volunteered his services with the
United Way of Warren County (now part of the United
Way of Northern New Jersey) for 10 years; was a Trustee
with the Hackettstown Alliance for Drug Prevention from
1998 2012; and has been an active member of the
Chamber of Commerce.
Originally from Baltimore, Maternick spent 16 years
working for the Boy Scouts of America, and proudly notes
that he is an Eagle Scout.
Cost of the dining cruise is $35 per person in advance.

two tanks that were constructed by aquarium experts. One

tank will display a typical New Jersey wetlands scene. It will
contain water plants and animals such as minnows, crayfish
and snails. The school also hopes to work with experts to
raise and release endangered NJ turtles. Tenants should
move into this tank in the fall. The other tank, which will not
be ready for habitation until the spring of 2016, will have a
desert environment.
There are a multitude of educational uses for the habitat, said Makala. Students can learn how organisms are
Local Blood Drives To Be Held
ew Jersey Blood Services is conducting local blood

drives area which is open to the public. The following
drives are scheduled:
June 19- Shoprite, Flanders; 1 p.m. to 7 p.m.
June 25- St. Francis Health Resort, Denville; 1 p.m. to 7 p.m.
June 25- Moose Lodge 541, Dover; 1 p.m. to 7 p.m.
June 26- Madison Area YMCA, Madison; 2 p.m. to 8 p.m.
June 29- Knights of Columbus 3665, Netcong; 3 p.m. to 9
p.m.
June 30- Wyndham Hamilton Park Hotel, Florham Park; noon
to 6 p.m.
New Jersey Blood Services, a division of New
York Blood Center (NYBC) is asking for help to
maintain an adequate supply of all blood types, but
especially O-negative- the universal blood which
can be transfused into anyone in an emergency. In
addition, hundreds of additional blood drives need
to be scheduled to meet projected hospital demand.
Current inventory of several blood types is running

below the desired target level.
Its simple: hospital patient demand for blood
often outpaces our best efforts to recruit donors and
schedule blood drives, said NYBC Executive
Director of Donor Recruitment Andrea Cefarelli.
There are always reasons but we have to overcome
that for the sake of hospital patients who need us.
Blood products have a short shelf life, from five to 42
days, so constant replenishment is necessary. Each and
every day there are patients who depend on the transfusion
of red blood cells, platelets and plasma to stay alive. But
blood and blood products cant be manufactured. They can
only come from volunteer blood donors who take an hour
to attend a blood drive or visit a donor center.
To donate blood or for information on how to organize a
blood drive, call 1-800-933-2566. Visit: www.nybloodcenter.org.
related and different by seeing them rather than reading

about them in a book. They can also learn different parts of
ecosystems and how they work together. Seeing it all firsthand allows students to make more connections which leads
to greater long-term learning.
Art students, under the direction of teacher Diane Phares,
are creating murals for the tanks that depict the natural settings of the animals. The wetlands mural should be finished
soon. The artist volunteers, Rosa Chang, Courtney
Hourihan, Shannon Huth, Taylor Liska, and Samantha
Rieder have researched NJ plants and wildlife, and came up
with the design themselves. The mural measures about 18feet wide by 5-feet tall. Work on the desert landscape mural
will not start until the beginning of the new school year.

to the inner ear, which is the equivalent of
boosting it by nine decibels. Even moderately high volume can cause hearing loss.
Its important to keep the volume low and
to take frequent breaks when using earbuds. Keep earbud volume below 60 percent and wear them for no more than 60
minutes per day.
