Rolling Thunder Provides Awareness And Helps Veterans In Need

By R.E. Wagner end them home! We will not forget!” This is just a handful of statements rising above the steady rumble of passing motorcycles during the demonstrations, community events and charity drives organized across the country by the non-profit organization known as Rolling Thunder. In 1987, former United States Marine Corps Corporal Ray Manzo, U.S. Army Sergeant Major John Holland, Marine First Sergeant Walt Sides, and Sergeant Ted Sampley had lunch together at a diner in Somerville. They were meeting to discuss an unsettling issue that they, as servicemen, felt wasn’t being acknowledged enough in certain military circles. By the end of the meeting, they parted ways with a mission in mind: to bring full accountability for the ‘Prisoners Of War’ and ‘Missing In Action (MIA)’

“

of all U.S. wars. For Diane Malanga, the secretary of Rolling Thunder’s 3rd Chapter in New Jersey and an official member for almost a decade, Rolling Thunder’s goal hit close to a place close to her heart. “They were deeply troubled knowing these men and women were forgotten,” explained Malanga, “thinking of their families who have not had a chance to have closure. My father served in World War II and Korea and my son just left for boot camp.” Since World War II, more than 83,000 MIA cases have remained unresolved within military files. An MIA is a casualty classification assigned to combatants and prisoners of war (POW) who are reported missing during wartime. They may have been killed, wounded or captured. If deceased, neither their remains nor grave site have been positively identified. For these four veterans,

83,000 unaccounted soldiers left overseas on distant battlefields was an outrage. “They said we have to take a stand and do something to raise awareness,” Malanga continued. On May 29, 1988, Corporal Manzo recruited 2,500 men and women from all over the nation to attend Rolling Thunder’s first public event held in Washington D.C. There, they assembled peacefully in the parking lot of the Pentagon and rode through the Capital on a predetermined route that led them to the Lincoln Memorial. Since then, Rolling Thunder has grown into an established national organization. During their most recent rally in 2017, almost a million people attended to show their patriotism. And with approximately 10,000 active members spread out across the country among 94 chapters in 33 states, Rolling Thunder has no plans on slowing down. The non-profit’s rosters are filled not only with veterans and active duty military personal, but their families, friends and those who seek to honor the soldiers who never made it home. In New Jersey alone, there are four Rolling Thunder chapters consisting of hundreds of members. The Garden State is also home to Rolling Thunder’s National Headquarters located

in Lebanon. “I joined the chapter three in 2008,” Malanga said, before sharing her fond memory of her first event with Rolling Thunder at the Community Living Center in Lyons. “There were snacks and karaoke, the veterans just loved it. The music, the visit, was so awesome for them.” Malanga reminisced, “One of the most rewarding parts of being a member is making the difference for a veteran. I was hooked from that moment.” In addition to raising awareness of their mission statement to bring home missing soldiers, Rolling Thunder Chapters across the nation provide financial

support to help veterans in need. “At times our aging veterans struggle to pay bills,” Malanga explained. “We help with money to pay for heating and have also helped many Veterans with rent or mortgage payments. Last year, Chapter Three raised approx. $24,000 through various events, rides, personal donations and fundraising.” Through charitable donations, as well as organizing community events for service men and women, Rolling Thunder Chapters are known to host events at hospitals and nursing homes like picnics and pizza parties for Veterans. An annual program known as

Christmas Families is held where New Jersey Rolling Thunder Chapter members provide gift cards from Shoprite, Walmart and Toy- R-Us to help Veterans during the holidays. Although primarily known for their roaring motorcades and biker persona, Rolling Thunder encourages anyone with a passion to pay respects to service men and women to volunteer their time or donating to the cause. Interested in donating or volunteering? Contact a local Rolling Thunder Chapter to learn more, or write to the National Headquarters located in Lebanon at P.O. Box 216 Neshanic Station, N.J., 08853.

Volunteers Share Their Experiences With Boy Scout Adventures

By Jane Primerano oy Scouts and leaders of Independence Troop 416 put in 50,000 miles in a retired school bus renovated for them by former scout leader Thomas Williams. “Every time I sit in the bus, I’m 18-years old again,” Williams said. He got the idea to acquire a bus to give the boys more of an adventure. When they make their annual trip to Philmont in New Mexico, they detour to national parks and other scenic areas. “We change up the route,” Williams said, “but we like to highlight the National Parks. Last trip we did 13 in one summer.” They hike, go white water rafting. Last trip out west they camped in Needles,

Calif., hiked to Phantom Ranch and camped there. “You see so much more when you walk it, he said, citing a trip to the Redwoods as an example. It was pretty exciting on the bus, however, when a bison appeared to want to join them on board. They have hiked down to the bottom of the Grand Canyon, 4,400 feet in elevation in 110-degree heat. “It was very hard,” Williams said. They do the same on their Northern Tier trip, to Canada, through New York State at up near Thunder Bay to camp and fish in pristine waters. A Florida trip included boating, paddle boarding, kayaking, snorkeling, sailing and SCUBA diving. Not a boating person, Wil-

liams admitted to being a little apprehensive. “I have a different respect for the ocean,” he said. “We go to one of the best snorkeling sites in the world. It’s a little spooky, but amazing. We went in winter; I don’t think the bus warmed up until Philadelphia.” He said they went to Key West for the history but stayed at John Pennekamp Coral Reef State Park on Key Largo. They even saw a manatee. Williams was a scout as a boy and enjoyed the trips. When his son reached the age for scouting, he got involved with the troop, planning trips and challenges. When scouts started talking about trips, he found a van belonging to a company that provided handicap transportation. He used his

own money to buy the van. He owned a business and some of his vendors offered to help with the restoration. “It needed a transmission, tires; you’ve got to be meticulous,” he said. Each trip requires two leaders for a maximum of 12 boys. They must be 14-years old or a First Class Scout. “Sometimes 15 kids want to go. It’s the hardest thing to select.” The van also has to carry everything they need for the adventure. The boys have to fundraise to offset the cost. They have done roadside cleanups and other local fundraisers. Two of the boys who have been on the trips include John and Chris Tamie. John, 19, has aged out of scouts; Chris, 15, is still a

973-330-1958 • 908-465-4202

member of the troop. John reminisced about a Northern Tier trip two years ago. The month-long trip started with a day at base camp to check in, go over the equipment, get packs of trail food and review emergency procedures. They also determined which route they would take. “It’s definitely different than normal camping,” he said. “I really learned to pack light.” He was most impressed with canoeing on a lake with water so clear he could see many different kinds of fish. “They told us there were beavers, but we didn’t see them,” he said. They also didn’t see a moose, which was quite disappointing. The boys hiked 70 miles during that trip.

The group of scouts he traveled with has been together since Cub Scouts. Their Philmont trip included Yellowstone, Mt. Rushmore, the Badlands, Pikes Peak, Las Vegas and Hoover Dam. “Scouting teaching you that you can do more than you thought,” said John who is now a student at County College of Morris in Randolph. Chris Tamie also did a Philmont trip, traveling through Louisville, Ky., and Colorado where they climbed Pike’s Peak. They also went whitewater rafting. He hasn’t been to Canada, yet. “I’m going to stay in scouts until I age out,” he said.

entenary University is planning to build a blue artificial baseball turf field in time for next year’s spring baseball season, celebrating the institution’s colors. Administrators claim the field is the world’s first blue turf baseball field. In order to make this dream come true, members of the community and beyond are being asked to help with the initiative. Major challenge gifts from Centenary Trustee Steve Somers and the Reeves Foundation will cover over half the cost of the project, but those gifts and the project as a whole depend on Centenary’s ability to raise the remaining funds needed. “This facility will function as a hub for baseball in the region, as the David and

Carol Lackland Center and the Sitnik Theater have for the performing arts,” said Dr. David P. Haney, Centenary University president. “This will raise Centenary’s visibility, while boosting the local economy and providing a facility that can be used by many organizations in the community. It is an exciting opportunity that will benefit our students, faculty and staff, as well as individuals, baseball teams, and businesses throughout the region.” The facility will become a natural location to host community service functions, Haney said. Especially during the summer, outside organizations will be able to utilize the facility for fundraisers and charitable events, he said. The field is slated to be

completed in time for the Spring 2018 baseball season. Centenary is seeking contributions to help defray the cost of the field and meet the challenges set by lead donors. Johnson Dodge Chrysler Jeep Ram of Budd Lake has donated a 2017 Jeep Renegade Sport for Centenary to raffle off for $50 per ticket. Sponsorships and highly visible naming opportunities are available for dugouts, seating, the scoreboard, the field itself and other parts of the baseball complex. To make a gift, or for more information regarding purchasing a raffle ticket for a 2017 Jeep Renegade Sport, contact the university advancement office at (908) 852-1400, ext. 2336 or e-mailrusselle01@ centenaryuniversity.edu.

Hackettstown Clinic Supports Shelters With Pet Food Drive

illage Family Clinic, a multi-disciplinary health center, hosted its annual Pet Food Drive to benefit local animal shelters Aug. 14 to Aug. 18. Each year, Village Family Clinic invites patients to take advantage of a free chiropractic adjustment or free health check analysis to anyone who brings in a five-pound or greater bag of pet food. This year, the food will

be donated to 11th Hour Rescue in Randolph and Common Sense for Animals in Stewartsville. Village Family Clinic’s director, Dr. James Fedich, said: “Over five million animals are put in shelters every year, with most shelters being non-profit, and having to depend on donations, as well as volunteers. This is the least we can do. We think of it as a way to benefit your health, while helping animals in need.”

Fedichand the staff at Village Family Clinic host many annual yearly donations other than the Pet Food Drive, such as November’s Food Drive and December’s Toy Drive. Last year, Village Family Clinic produced close to two thousand pounds of pet food. Call 908-8138-8200, or email ashleym@hackettstownfamilyclinic.com to participate.

amily-to-Family,” a free, 12-week course provided by the National Alliance on Mental Illness, will be offered in Washington beginning Sept. 6. This nationally renowned, evidence-based course was created by NAMI to help family members and other primary caregivers deal with the issues of caring for a loved one who has a serious mental illness.

in the course include major depression, bipolar disorder, schizophrenia, schizoaffective disorder, borderline personality disorder, and anxiety disorders such as panic disorder, post-traumatic stress disorder and obsessive-compulsive disorder. The “Family-to-Family” course explains the biological brain chemistry involved in mental illness, the array of medications used in treatment, and how to differentiate between mild and serious medication side effects. In addition, the course provides family members with strat-

egies for problem solving, limit setting and communicating in a non-confrontational manner. The 12-session course will be held at the First Presbyterian Church, Washington, on Wednesdays from 7 p.m. to 9:30 p.m., from Sept. 6 through Nov. 22.

The Party Goes On At Lead East

By Elsie Walker t’s rare that someone can say they’ve hosted a party that’s been going on for 35 years. However, Terry Cook of Appleton Productions in Long Valley can say just that. A former automotive journalist and hot rodder, who began manufacturing his own car designs in the late 1990s, Cook’s event started as a car show; but it has transformed into a celebration of the 1950’s. It’s called Lead East and it is known as the world’s biggest ‘50s party. For a few days each year, people can leave the woes of the current days behind them and visit a more carefree time. From classic cars- not only from the ‘50s- to the sounds, sights, and dance of the 50’s, Lead East has it all. Also, this

year, joining in on the time travel fun is Barry Weiss of TV’s “Storage Wars.” Lead East is held at the Parsippany Hilton. This year’s event will opened to spectators Thursday – Sunday, Aug. 31 – Sept. 3. About 1,400 classic car, 1974 and earlier, from around the country are expected at this year’s event. However, on Sunday, “will be one big parking lot full of corvettes,” noted Cook. Usually only cars up to the 1970’s would be allowed that day, but this year corvettes of any year, 19532017, will be welcomed. For car enthusiasts, “Big Daddy” Don Garlits will be on hand. He’ll cackle his Swamp Rat 12. Cook explained that means Garlits will rev up the engine and, since there’s no muffler,

car enthusiasts will get the smell and sound they enjoy. Cook will be quick to point out that Lead East is about more than cars and that is what has made it endure. “[It’s the] atmosphere of the 1950’s; the atmosphere is everywhere,” he said. That atmosphere includes music, movies and dances of the era. Some highlights include a pool party with two rockabilly bands plus music on the outdoor and indoor stages on Friday night of the event. On the weekend, there are four stages with live music. On Saturday, that includes Afternoon A Capella with eight great Doo Wap groups. On Sunday, there will be tribute bands to Dion and Frankie Valli and the 4 Seasons.

“They are really good,” noted Cook. The opportunities to dance abound including a sock hop and dance party. As it has for 34 of its years, Lead East will include a drive-in theater set-up. Among this year’s offerings are “The Thing from Another World,” a 1951 monster flick with James Arness of “Gunsmoke fame” as the monster, “Them,” a 1954 science fiction bug classic, and a more recent movie (1971), the Steven Spielberg classic, “Duel” with Dennis Weaver. Giving is also part of Lead East. There will be a 50-50 for Make-A-Wish and, as they have for years, the local Toys for Tots will be on hand to collect toys to give needy children at Christmas.

Given the event’s theme, some people may wonder what special guest Barry Weiss has to do with the ‘50s, how he came to be part of this year’s party. “I’ve known Barry for years,” said Cook. Weiss bought the most famous car that Cook ever built: the Scrape 1930 Lincoln Zephyr. “People recognize Barry all the time. He’ll be float-

FRANK GODINO

ing around Lead East Friday and Saturday and sitting down inside for autographs on Sunday from noon – 3 p.m., where people can stand on line to meet him,” said Cook.

Hackettstown Student Explores History With Museum Collection

orristown National Historical Park park has announced the completion of two cultural resources summer intern projects on World War I and Alexander Hamilton that bring rarely seen manuscripts and collection items into the public eye. Inspired by the park’s collection, interns Claire Du Laney and Meghan Kolbusch have created the collections. The manuscripts featured in the small exhibit cases have never been displayed before, and are a continuation of the park’s efforts to bring some

of its lesser-known treasures to public notice. The World War I and Alexander Hamilton exhibits are on display through Oct. 1 in Morristown NHP’s Washington’s Headquarters Museum. The museum currently is open daily, from 9:30 a.m. to 5 p.m. After Labor Day, it is open Wednesday through Sunday, and is closed on Monday and Tuesday. Du Laney is a Montclair native and graduate student in a dual public history program at North Carolina State University, combined with a Master of Science in library science at the Uni-

versity of North Carolina. Kolbusch is from Hackettstown and is a senior at Centenary University, where she is studying political science and history. Morristown National Historical Park preserves, protects, and commemorates the landscapes, structures, features, and museum collections of the Continental Army winter encampments, the headquarters of General George Washington and related Revolutionary War sites at Morristown for the benefit and inspiration of the public.

Jim Sheldon, left, executive director of the Hackettstown Business Improvement District, and Dr. David P. Haney, president of Centenary University, join Maria DiGiovanni, mayor of Hackettstown.

r. David P. Haney, president of Centenary University, recently presented a check of $5,250 to Maria DiGiovanni, mayor of the Town of Hackettstown, as a result of a banner sale for the insti-

tution’s 150th anniversary. The university raised sponsorships for 43 anniversary banners on Main Street and Mountain Ave. over the last several months. Sponsors ranged from local businesses to

alumni to friends of the university. Half of the revenue from the banners was donated back to the town of Hackettstown, and the other half was used to pay for the cost and installation of the banners.

DiGiovanni and Jim Sheldon on this opportunity,” said Haney. “The 150th anniversary scholarship banners initiative was an outstanding success. I look forward to continuing our great work together.”

Six Ways To Help Prevent Bullying

utting an end to bullying is everyone’s responsibility. Whether at home, school or elsewhere, it’s important that we’re proactive. Here are five ways that kids and parents can do their part. 1. Don’t be a bystander. It’s true that it takes a lot of courage to stand out from the crowd and defend a victim of bullying. After all, the risk is that you’ll become the next target simply for speaking up. But reporting bullying and being there for someone who needs it are actions you’ll be proud of for the rest of your life. 2. Stop sibling bullying at home. You may think it’s harmless, but it’s not. Disdainful eye rolling, relentless teasing, humiliating taunts, hitting and verbal abuse directed at a sibling can cause depression and anxiety. Make sure your home is a safe place for everybody who lives there. 3. Enlist the help of adults. If you see a need for increased adult supervision at highrisk times and places at school or at home, ask for help from a trusted adult. 4. Get on board with an anti-bullying campaign at school. These campaigns show kids that bullying is not cool and won’t be tolerated any longer. Make an anti-bullying banner and use social media to advertise the

fact that you stand up against verbal and physical violence. 5. Parents: get involved. If your child is a victim of bullying, you need to take the situation seriously. Schools, the police and child psychology experts vigorously object to the belief that bullying is a childhood rite of passage. If the problem doesn’t stop, talk to the school authorities, and then to the police if there are no further improvements. At home, be vigilant about sibling bullying, and make it stop. 6. Pay attention to cyberbullying. Those who use cell phones, internet or other devices for social media interaction open themselves up to the latest form of bullying. Parents, be aware and get involved. Teach your child proper usage of these devices and reinforce that sending any text, message or photo that is cruel, hateful or threatening is as harmful as face to face bullying. Learn about the internet and pay attention to what your child is doing online. All users should be taught cyberethics and the law to prevent cyberbullying. Don’t be a victim. Don’t be a cyberbully. Bullying is no longer seen as a normal rite of passage for children; it’s a preventable behaviour that we can eradicate through education, awareness and action.

Warren County Works On Economic Development Action Plan

he Warren County Economic Development Committee is working to implement an action plan intended to boost the area’s commercial, industrial and agricultural opportunities. The EDC recently completed a one-year engagement with Tetra Tech, Inc. and Camoin Associates after the consultants developed the economic blueprint and the Warren County Board of Chosen Freeholders adopted the Economic Development Action Plan Matrix it contained. “The plan helps to build on existing resources and harness new economic development opportunities,” said Freeholder Jason J. Sarnoski, who established the county’s ad hoc Eco-

nomic Development Advisory Council in 2011 and spearheaded its transition into the EDC in 2016. “The freeholders, in collaboration with the county’s Economic Development Committee, will use this Action Plan matrix to guide their economic development activities.” Among the strategies recommended in the plan are to create and maintain a streamlined and consistent development process to help encourage economic development; to redefine what it means to do business in Warren County, and develop and maintain an environment that demonstrates Warren County is “open for business;” and to build on existing tourism assets and work to maintain quality

visitor experiences within the county. The consultants developed the strategies through stakeholder focus groups; an analysis of development processes, practices and procedures at the county and municipal levels; and discussions with the freeholders, county departments and the EDC members. “In order to be most successful, we need to ‘brand’ ourselves as a county and have municipal economic development plans that mesh with other municipal economic development plans, so that we are all pulling together to take advantage of our collective strengths and attributes,” said EDC Chair Betty Schultheis. “Each member of the County EDC will be

working with two municipalities to help accomplish this goal.” As another step toward increasing municipal coordination and participation in the county’s economic development efforts, EDC members decided midway

through the study to implement quarterly evening meetings held at locations throughout the county. The EDC customarily meets the second Thurs. of each month at 8 a.m. in the county’s Wayne Dumont, Jr. Administration Building,

as well as some evening meetings to encourage more municipal input and sharing of information. Meeting dates, locations and agendas are available on the EDC website at www.warrenecdev.com.

Did You Know?

elenium is a trace mineral that can be very potent in cancer prevention. According to Susan G. Komen, selenium helps antioxidants work more effectively and may reduce cancer incidence as a result. Selenium also may kill cancer cells and help normal cells repair their DNA. According to a Harvard study of more than 1,000 men with prostate cancer, those with the highest levels of selenium in their blood were 40 percent less likely to develop advanced dis-

ease over the next 10-plus years than men with the lowest levels of selenium in their blood. In addition, data from a five-year study from researchers at Cornell University discovered 200 micrograms of selenium per day resulted in 63 percent fewer prostate tumors and a 39 percent overall decrease in cancer deaths, among other benefits. Selenium is found in Brazil nuts, yellowfin tuna, halibut, sardines, and many other foods.

Rare American Flags On Display In Morris County Library

merican flags from the 18th, 19th and 20th centuries are on display in the lobby of the Morris County Library through Sept. 15. The Morris County Heritage Commission and the Morris County Library are presenting a special display entitled “Saluting Old Glory: Our Nation’s Flag.’’ The display details the history of the Star-Spangled Banner, and is on view through Tues., Aug. 25. Items in the exhibit cases will be on view through Sept. 15. Flags and exhibit cases of related items are on view on the first and second floors. A third exhibit case, lo-

cated on the fifth floor of the County Administration Building in Morristown, also features examples of rare and unusual American flags. Visitors to the county library exhibit can view a selection of American flags and see the changes that took place from the Colonial Period to the Mid-20th Century. Also on view are vintage children’s books, period photographs and other materials related to the Stars and Stripes. While each flag in the exhibit has an interesting history, three have ties to Morris County. The first, on loan from the Historical Society of Boonton Township, is an

original 35-star Civil War flag. This rare American flag was handed down to Mrs. Oscar Kincaid, Sr., from her aunt, and remained in the Kincaid family for almost 150 years. The second is a small 39-star silk parade flag with hand-painted gold stars, on loan from the Morristown Chapter of the Daughters of the American Revolution. A third flag, from the special collections in the Morris County Archives, was handcrafted in silk in 1940, and is on display in the library lobby. For more information, visit the Morris County Heritage Commission at https://mchc.morriscountynj.gov/.

Make-Ahead Breakfasts For Busy School Days

hen the school year rolls around, switching from pool to school means finding simpler ways to kick off the day with healthy and nutritious options. Preparing feel-good breakfasts can be as easy as picking and putting together the right ingredients, if you know where to buy them. At grocery stores like ALDI, parents can conveniently find choices they can feel good about feeding their families, including fresh produce and organic, non-

GMO and gluten-free options. Parents can also shop easier knowing ALDI private label items – which make up 90 percent of its products – are free from certified synthetic colors, added trans fats and MSG. After the shopping trip, try these make-ahead breakfast ideas to give the busy mornings a boost: • Homemade energy bars are an easy breakfast option that can keep you fueled until lunch. For simple bars, heat coconut oil and vanilla in a saucepan until combined then transfer to a large bowl and

mix with cashew butter, oats, dried fruits and granola. Press the mixture between two cookie sheets to flatten, refrigerate 2 hours and slice into bars. • Portion out produce for daily breakfast smoothies. Seal each weekday’s smoothie ingredients in separate plastic bags and simply toss the ingredients in a blender each morning. Enjoy your smoothie in a tumbler or try something new, such as this Blackberry Avocado Smoothie Bowl. • Use your slow cooker to make oatmeal. Before

heading to bed, simply add milk, vanilla and your favorite sweetener to rolled oats and cook on low 7-8 hours. Include dried fruit to soak up moisture and provide a sweet, juicy addition. Or try these Morning Oasis Overnight Oats for a no-cook variation on traditional oatmeal for a quick, crunchy start to the day. Make school mornings a breeze with more quick recipes at aldi.us.

Morris County’s National Memorial Trail Unveiled

he unveiling of the first trail blazes on the new September 11th National Memorial Trail, a 1,300-mile Morris County tribute to first responders and victims of the 9/11 attacks, was held last month in Randolph in memory of the county’s 63 victims in the 2001 attacks. Officials of the September 11th National Memorial Trail Alliance, in conjunction with the Morris County Park Commission, held a ceremony to show off the new blazes on a section of Morris County’s Patriot’s Path, which serves as part of the route of the national trail. Congressman Rodney Frelinghuysen, Morris County Freeholder Director Doug Cabana, Park Com-

mission President Betty Cass-Schmidt, Randolph Mayor Christine Carey and Sheriff James Gannon were among the dignitaries who participated in the event. “Our vision for both this alliance and the memorial trail is to unite fellow Americans, trail enthusiasts, organizations, and the families of those lost in the attacks, and work together to make this a reality,” said Andy Hamilton, president of the September 11th National Memorial Trail Alliance. “The trail is shaped as a triangle to forever connect these locations, and serves as a symbol of resiliency and character,” said David Brickley, founder and president emeritus of the September 11th National Me-

morial Trail Alliance. Beginning in 2004, the September 11th National Memorial Trail Alliance was formed to establish a memorial trail that links both the planned and existing memorial sites dedicated to September 11th, including the World Trade Center, Pentagon, and Flight 93 Memorial. The board currently consists of 12 members, each with their own unique tie to the cause. In addition to linking the three national memorials, the continuous trail also passes through more than 50 landmarks, such as the Eastern Continental Divide, Delaware Water Gap, and Morristown National Historical Park. It is accessible to automobiles, hikers and bikers.
