New Field Trip On Water Brings Hands-On Experience To Learn And Protect The Lake

By Cheryl Conway tudy Hull was set to sail on its maiden voyage Monday, May 21, on the waters of Lake Hopatcong. With room for 40 passengers plus crew, fourth graders from Kennedy and Nixon elementary schools in Roxbury were expected to be the first to participate in the floating classroom. Students from Franklin and Jefferson schools in the Roxbury School District have booked their trips for Monday, June 4. The 40-foot by 12-foot covered catamaran pontoon boat was named and christened Friday evening, May 4, at the Garden State Yacht Club in Lake Hopatcong with more than 75 in attendance. There was “a lot of excitement in the air,” says Donna Macalle-Holly, Lake Hopatcong Foundation grant and program coordinator. “After cracking the champagne bottle on the vessel, people got to board and see.” Macalle-Holly explained, “The vessel name selected by the LHF Board of Trustees was submitted by Kimberly Murphy during our Giving Tuesday campaign last December in support of the floating classroom. If you made a $25 donation you can come up with a name. Quite a few names were given.”

The board decided on Study Hull: “Thought it was a good play on words,” says Macalle-Holly. “It fit the vessel good and what we want to try to do on the vessel. “I proudly christen this vessel Study Hull,” Macalle-Holly said at the christening. “May all who journey on Study Hull be safe and learn all about protecting Lake Hopatcong today and for future generations.” The vessel was built by Sightseer Marine based in Hudson, Fla., and is a project of The Lake Hopatcong Foundation. “We are so excited to bring the floating classroom experience to Lake Hopatcong for students and the public,” said Macalle-Holly. “It will provide an interactive, hands-on educational experience to study the lake ecology, to understand why improving water quality is so important and to learn what can be done to protect the lake.” The purchase of the floating classroom was made possible from the Gannett Foun-

dation- “USA Today” network’s “A Community Thrives” program; the James P. Verhalen Family Foundation and the Szigethy family, according to a press release. Macalle-Holly said she received the news about winning the Gannett Foundation $50,000 grant last spring which allowed the foundation to move forward with the vessel’s acquisition. Total cost for the vessel totaled $148K, she says. The LHF found inspiration for the floating classroom from other on-the-water educational programs such as its visits to the Lake George Association Floating Classroom in New York, the Hackensack Riverkeeper Eco-Cruise and the SPLASH Steamboat Floating Classroom on the Delaware River. Currently, 800 fourth and fifth graders are scheduled to participate in foundation’s educational field trip program. Seven trips are so far planned with students from Hopatcong, Jefferson and Mt.

Revolutionary War Veterans Rest In Hackettstown Cemetery

By Elsie Walker uring the Memorial Day parade in Hackettstown, the American Legion honor guard will pause to salute at the wall of the Old Presbyterian Church Cemetery on 291 Main Street in Hackettstown. There, little flags will mark the graves of 27 veterans of a war which seems sometimes forgotten. The veterans served in the militia and regular army of the American Revolutionary War. For a while, their resting place was in disrepair. However, it was restored by the Old Presbyterian Cemetery Committee, which continues to watch over the burial places. Charles Prestopine, of Hackettstown, recalled that for a while these veterans’ graves were forgotten. Back in 1999, their burial place was overgrown; the cemetery wall needed to be rebuilt, and headstones restored. An Old Presbyterian Cemetery Committee was formed. The restoration was done by 2010 and now the committee makes sure the resting places are main-

tained. “I’m a retired history teacher and living Revolutionary War reenactor,” explained Prestopine as to what motivated him to be on the committee. As a reenactor, he is part of the Helm’s Company of the 2nd NJ regiment of the Continental Line (Washington’s Army). He noted that Helms had not only served in the war, but after returning to Hackettstown became a congressman, twice, and then in the 1820’s took a land grant and relocated to Ohio, where he is buried. As for the American Revolutionary War veterans buried in the Old Presbyterian Cemetery, they were Hackettstown residents who were members of the Presbyterian Church. They came back from the war, lived there lives and died as veterans. When asked about one who stands out from the others, Prestopine found that difficult to do. However, he did mention Jeremiah Pool. Poole’s great, great grandson was the mayor of Beattystown. A webpage on the Great Meadows

school site, https://www.gmrsd.com/ page/327, gives some further information on Pool. He was a wagoner, which meant that he brought the supplies to the army. Getting supplies was crucial to the army’s morale and survival. The position of waggoner was dangerous, as he had to be careful to evade the British, who knew the importance of those supplies to the revolutionary army. While the cemetery holds the graves of these Revolutionary War soldiers, these representatives of history, Prestopine noted that he feels that few in the local area know there are revolutionary war soldiers buried there. However, that cemetery is opened to those who would like to stop by and see this part of history. When asked why he feels that maintaining the historic graves are important, Prestopine said, “because it is honoring the founders of our country and this community. We do this to remember and honor them.”

Fido, Fifi And Friends Are Ready To Bark And Roll Outdoors!

By Ricki Demarest ith the frustratingly elusive warmer weather here at last, it’s time to safely plan outdoor activities. Like everyone else, dog owners and their best friends have been waiting, patiently or not, for winter to release its grip on the Garden State.

There are thousands of dogs living happily in New Jersey. Most are welcome at municipal, county, public or private dog parks as well as restaurants and town streets. However, for dogs and their loving human companions, a little prior planning is a must to ensure a quality excursion - for the dog, the owner and every-

one they encounter along the way. Parks provide a great place to take dogs for a walk, a run or even agility training. Canines are usually welcome in open spaces if they follow the rules and regulations. Most places post their rules online and at the locations themselves. Municipal ordinances and state rules always apply. Some of the most common park rules are as follows. Owners are always held liable for their dogs’ behavior and use parks at their own risk. All dogs in the park must be licensed and vaccinated. There is often a limit of two dogs per person. The handler is supposed to have constant control of their animal(s). Sick dogs are expressly exempt from parks. Dogs in heat are not allowed either. There are usually age restrictions, both for dogs and children. Dig-

ging is prohibited. Owners or handler are to fill any holes left by their dog. Waste must be removed and disposed of properly. Spiked, pronged or choke collars are generally not allowed. The most important rule for dog owners is being aware of how their dog will react to others outside their own territory. “Like people, if you put everyone in a room, not everybody’s gonna get along with everybody,” said Evan Perlman of ESP Pet Specialists pet sitting services in Livingston. “A dog park is NOT the place to begin socializing a dog.” Before taking a new puppy or adopted best friend out to a dog park, Perlman recommended spending one on one time with another dog who will be receptive to such companionship. continued on page 6

New Field Trip On Water...

continued from front page ton school districts, says Macalle-Holly. There is limited availability this May through June for additional schools to participate in this fee-based field trip which includes the floating classroom, macro-invertebrate sampling in the Musconetcong River, a discovery hike and a watershed model to demonstrate water pollution concepts and their prevention. In July, fourth and fifth grade teachers interested in a future voyage for their students can board the Study Hull the second week in July to see what is entailed. Field trips will begin at 9:30 a.m. and end around 1:30 p.m., says Macalle-Holly. Students will arrive at Hopatcong State Park for their four hour lesson. For the floating classroom portion, students will learn how to protect the lake through scientific experiments on water quality. The hike on the Musconetcong will involve students collecting macro invertebrates to identify and determine health of river, she explains. At the water pavilion, students will learn about the watershed model and how to

protect non-point source pollution, she adds. For the discovery hike, participants will learn the importance of how the forest and landscape protect the lake, she says. This is the fourth year the LHF has hosted field trips to study the lake. “When we used to do the field trip, we went out on smaller pontoon boats,” she says, three boats. But now with the one larger pontoon, all could board, with crew that includes a captain, first mate and one or two environmental educators, as well as scientific experiments. She says LHF is “expanding it by adding hands on experiments.” Comparing this field trip to other lessons on the water, Macalle-Holly says “ours is unique as we are incorporating scientific experiences on board.” The trip is free to those students in the LHF area which includes Roxbury, Jefferson, Hopatcong and Mt. Arlington. Students outside those towns will be charged $15 per student to attend the field trip, she says. Funds will used to support operating expenses of

Fido, Fifi And Friends... continued from page 3 Jean Owen, owner of NJ Fix My Dog training in the Morristown area, is a dog park veteran, having helped create them in Morris County and in New York City. She was happy to share a few pearls of wisdom gleaned from her experience. First and foremost, she said, make sure the dog likes to be around other dogs. Never bring food to a dog park – either treats for the dog, or food for oneself. In fact, many parks do not allow food in the dog area. Please, please don’t bring a sick dog to a dog park! Owen recommended owners wait two weeks to make sure a dog isn’t carrying a virus. Remember, not all dogs like children. Most parks have age requirements for children and they vary from place to place. Know before the visit. Separate areas for large and small dogs are always a good idea, according to Owen. She also recommended taking a four-legged friend to a park a few times when they aren’t busy. That way, he or she can acclimate to the surroundings. Leash requirements aside, Owen said

a dog should always wear a ‘light line’ such as 20 feet of venetian blind chord so anyone can step on it to help catch them. “It can be really frustrating when you want to leave, and Sparky says ‘no,’” she noted. Behavior can always become an issue. If a dog is getting too rambunctious, it is time to “put him on a leash and give him a ‘doggy time out.’” Sometimes, the footing at a park can create unexpected problems. An excited dog will run on a paved surface until its feet are bleeding. Other things to be aware of include soil borne illnesses like parasites, and airborne viruses like kennel cough. Taking a personal water source can help keep a dog healthy and happy. Another northern N.J. trainer, Margaret MacEwan, noted that a pet’s experience can depend on the group dynamic in the park. “You’re at the mercy of other dog owners; there’s no referee,” she said. “This isn’t a substitute for training your dog or doing activities with your dog.” Another option for a dog to get out

and socialize, she said, is dog day care. There, staff members recognize and monitor each animals behavior while offering a safe space for play and friendship. Many people venture beyond the park with their canine companions, choosing to take their four-legged friends out to dinner, on canoe or kayak trips, or shopping. The website www.funnewjersey. com/upload_user/different_outdoor_adventures_nj/dog_parks_nj.htm has plenty of options for dog excursions. BringFido.com also offers a wide variety of choices for dog owners that include hotels, restaurants, activities and excursions that please people and their pooches. Typing in the name of a town and clicking the fetch button reveals an array of places with ratings on a scale one to five bones. All creatures great and small enjoy fresh air, warm breezes and sunshine. With a little planning, some fresh water and a good leash, dogs and their owners can make the most of their days all spring and summer long.

ocial host liability is a legal term for the criminal and civil responsibility of any person who furnishes liquor to a guest. Social host laws vary from state to state, and such laws may or may not apply overseas. However, it’s important for prospective party hosts to understand the responsibility they are taking on when serving alcohol to their guests. According to SocialHostLiabil-

ity.org, in the United States, some states do not impose any liability on social hosts, while others impose significant liability on hosts, extending that liability to injuries that occur anywhere a guest who has consumed alcohol goes. Hosts nervous about their guests’ potential alcohol consumption can take steps to monitor that consumption or make their party an alcohol-free event.

Family Guidance Center Gets Grant For Opioid Recovery Program

he Family Guidance Center of Warren County recently received a grant that will help individuals with opioid addiction get critical assistance in the recovery process. The Opioid Overdose Recovery Program is funded by the New Jersey Department of Health, Division of Mental Health and Addiction Services and was initiated to respond to individuals who have an opiate use disorder or have experienced a Narcan reversal from an opiate overdose. Katherine Peñaherrera has been named the supervisor for the program, which is

partnering with Hackettstown Medical Center, St. Luke’s Warren Hospital and several other substance abuse rehabilitation and community treatment providers. “We are very excited about this grant, as it will allow us to assist people with opioid use disorders to access treatment and recovery support services with the help of a Patient Navigator and recovery specialists,” said Rich McDonnell, executive director of the Family Guidance Center, which serves residents of Warren County. “The opioid epidemic is a crisis that we need to face head-on.

ow households earn their income has changed dramatically over the last several decades. According to a Pew Research Centeral analysis of the Decennial Census and American Community Surveys integrated Public Use Microdata Sample files, in 1960 only fathers worked in 70 percent of American households. That figure has dropped in each ensuing decade and by 2012 fathers were the sole earners in just 31 percent of American households. While one in four households

in American were dual income households in 1960, by 2012 that figure had risen to 60 percent. While those figures represent dramatic changes, the number of households in which mothers are the sole earners has not changed all that much since 1960. In 1960, mothers were the sole earners in just 2 percent of American households. Fifty-two years later 6 percent of American households featured mothers as the sole earners.

The mission of the OORP is to make contact with individuals with an opiate disorder or who have been treated for an opiate overdose with Narcan. OORP staff will meet with these individuals in the local hospital emergency rooms and assist those who agree to get them linked to a treatment provider as they are at risk of overdosing again. “The program is intended to stop an individual’s circle of opiate use,” said Peñaherrera. “Our goal is to establish relationships for them with various treatment and support entities to allow for a coordinated course of recovery.” The Family Guidance Center is a private, non-profit community behavioral health care agency that provides a broad range of mental health and substance abuse prevention, treatment and recovery services to individuals and families living in Warren County.

Motorcycle Ride To Cruise Through Jersey Towns To Fight Bullying

By Cheryl Conway undreds of motorcycles plan to hit the streets on Saturday, June 2, throughout Morris County. Far from its stereotype of being a tough motorcycle gang, the group will represent the complete opposite as their mission will be to Blue Out Bullying. The initiative, The Ride for Mallory’s Army, is a charity ride to raise awareness and funds to fight against bullying. Organized to be held almost one year after the death of 12-year old Mallory Rose Grossman of Rockaway, the ride will generate proceeds to support the Mallory’s Army Foundation. The organization was founded by the Grossman family after the sixth grader

committed suicide on June 14, 2017 because of “horrific bullying,” as it states on the foundation website. The ride is being organized by Garden State Harley Davidson in Morris Plains. Registration is planned for 9 a.m. at the dealership and the ride is set to begin 11 a.m. Participants will begin the 50-mile motorcycle drive from the dealership and cruise throughout Morris County in towns such as Rockaway, Butler and Denville. While the dealership competes in charity rides every year, the idea for The Ride For Mallory’s Army came out of a request. “Mallory’s babysitter is a customer of ours and she came in and asked us to host a

Fight Bullying... continued from page 9 ty,” says Kolano. “We want to teach everyone to be kind. It’s going to be something special to witness something so large riding through. I encourage people to come out and support the riders cause you don’t always see hundreds of riders passing through every day.” Cost to participate in the ride is $20 for motorcyclists; $15 for passengers. To attend the barbecue following the ride, $10 donations are being requested. Participants can pre-register before June 1 at eventbrite.com, or the morning of the ride at the dealership. Motorcyclists are expected to cruise 30 mph to 40 mph while spectators line the streets for support. As of press

time more than 100 riders throughout the local area had registered for the ride. Blue Out Bullying bracelets are also being sold for $3 to support the cause. Go to mallorysarmy.org to purchase. All proceeds will support the Mallory’s Army Foundation. “Gosh, we want to raise as much as we can, but mostly we want to raise awareness for their cause,” says Kolano. “The motorcycle community has one of the most generous and kind people. When you see us watch out for us. They paid to ride to raise money for charity. Instead of getting upset that we are causing traffic or a slight delay, just know they’re doing it for a very good cause.”

With about six to 10 charity rides held every year, averaging about two a month during May through October, the Garden State Harley Davidson in Morris Plains has supported multiple causes such as autism, the police department,

fallen police officer and children with cancer. It also holds a Casino Night every year to support the fire department, says Kolano. For more information on the Mallory’s Army Foundation, visit mallorysarmy.org.

Thousands To Enjoy Memorial Motor Madness Car Show May 27

The event is held rain or shine from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m., and gates open to cars at 7:30 a.m. Memorial Motor Madness features entries in 21 different classes that include Mustang, Firebird, Camaro, Antique (pre-1940 to 1970), VW Beetle, Antique Trucks, and Street Rod, among others.

Best of Show is chosen by popular vote, with this year’s winner receiving the Ed Hagaman Memorial Trophy, named in honor of one of the show’s founders. Special dash plaques are awarded to the first 400 entrants. Joan Westpy, car show chair, says the show, which can feature 500 vehicles on a

good-weather day, will benefit The Joan Knechel Cancer Care Center at Hackettstown Medical Center, as well as other local charities supported by the Rotary Club.

He will also ask for donations for the purchase of phone cards to be given to service members stationed overseas so they may call home. Food vendors will be on hand to serve breakfast and lunch items; Rotary members will also be selling 50/50 cash prize.

It is a program staff members and their children always enjoy. The day began with 15 new “employees” receiving their own ID badge, prepared for them by Human Resources. The young recruits then set off for a tour of the village. They had scheduled meetings with staff members from different departments, including nursing, dining and rehabilitation. They played word games with Health Care Center residents and learned about the different types of occupational and physical therapy. The program concluded with a delicious lunch and dessert prepared by the children for their loved ones during their visit to Dining Services.

5 Summer Outdoor Entertaining Tips

ummer brings plenty of opportunities to enjoy time outdoors entertaining family and friends. The key to a successful summer party is simplicity: keep things easy so you can enjoy the festivities right along with your guests. Make this season’s barbecues, picnics and family gatherings events to remember with these simple summer entertaining tips: Cook outside Rather than firing up the oven and heating up the entire house during steamy summer days, turn to outdoor cooking methods like grilling. Be sure to plan ahead with sturdy tableware that stands up to barbecued meats and other robust items fresh off the grill. Also remember that the grill isn’t just for main courses; you can use it to prepare any number of side items, like skewers of garden fresh veggies.

Keep it comfy With everybody outside, it’s important to keep comfort in mind. If you have access to electricity, you might consider an oscillating fan, which can stir up a cool breeze. Additionally, the air movement can help deter flies and other pests that can quickly ruin guests’ appetites. Provide ample seating options, including patio furniture, pillows and even blankets on the lawn. Also ensure there are spaces for guests to cool off, whether that’s under a shade tree or a portable canopy or umbrella. Provide sturdy tableware Some popular cookout foods can be a greasy nightmare without the right tableware to keep the mess to a minimum. Upgrade your outdoor dining experience with tableware like Chinet Classic White premium-strength plates, platters and napkins so

you don’t have to worry about spills and leaks. They also make for easy cleanup when the party comes to a close. Prepare seasonal sides Let the grilled fare serve as the star of the show and keep the side dishes simple. Fresh, seasonal fruits and vegetables, and staples like potato or pasta salads and coleslaw, make for a well-rounded meal without a lot of fuss. Also opt on the lighter side for dessert. Fresh berries over ice cream or a simple white cake can be a hit.

Add lighting Keep the entertainment alive after sundown by going the extra mile with decorative lighting. Strings of lights in fun shapes or colors can add some vibrant light to seating areas. A fire pit is also an option for adding some ambient light and even a little warmth when the sun goes down and the temperature begins to drop.

5 Tips To Meal Prep Like A Pro

inner can be a daunting task for any family with multiple mouths to feed. Factor in complex schedules and individual tastes, and a family meal can become a stressful thought for home cooks. However, with proper meal planning and preparation, those stressful evenings can become a thing of the past. Consider these steps to becoming a better meal prepper: Start Slow If you’re new to meal prepping, don’t bog yourself down trying to come up with ideas and ingredients multiple days in advance. Start by planning just one or two days ahead then consider lengthening

your prep phases as you get more comfortable. Shop Smart Avoid overbuying by heading to the grocery store with a plan in mind or, even better, a specific list. While perusing the aisles, look for the Produce for Kids logo next to healthy, family-friendly items to help make nutritionally sound choices. Go with What You Know Rather than teaching yourself to meal prep while trying to learn new recipes at the same time, stick to the basics. Create dishes you’ve made in the past while you get into the habit of meal prepping. Make It a Family Event Recruit some help from your kids by enlisting them

ccording to the World Wildlife Fund, overfishing occurs when more fish are caught than the population can replace through natural reproduction. Overfishing is a significant problem and has reached a point where many important commercial fish populations, including Atlan-

tic bluefin tuna, have declined to a point where the survival of their species is threatened. One of the main causes of overfishing is illegal, unregulated and unreported fishing. In fact, the WWF estimates that illegal fishing accounts for as much as 20 percent of the world’s catch.

Road Trip Ready: How To Pack Travel Essentials

hether you’re planning a cross-country vacation or just a weekend getaway, packing for a road trip doesn’t have to be a daunting task. Creating a packing list of essentials can be the first step toward avoiding unnecessary stress and making your trip one to remember. Of course, that list should start with the items you should never leave home without like your driver’s license and proof of insurance, but it should also include pertinent information about your destination, like the trip’s itinerary and reservation confirmations. Don’t forget a map or printed directions in case your GPS dies or your phone loses service. While even the most experienced travelers have reached their destinations only to find they left a necessity or two behind, this handy packing guide can set you on the road to success and help you avoid buying a new set of sunglasses or portable charger en route to your destination. Safety • Roadside Emergency Kit. In addition to having your owner’s manual and the equipment necessary to change a flat tire, including a lug wrench and portable jack, keeping some additional safety supplies in your vehicle can come in handy in case of a breakdown. Consider including items like jumper cables, a tire pressure gauge, road flares, a poncho, gloves, a flashlight, a small tool set, a small fire extinguisher, paper towels or rags and duct tape. • First Aid Kit. Just as your car may need patched up while on the road, someone in the traveling party may need a little TLC between stops. Some items to include: bandages, aspirin or ibuprofen, antisep-

tic spray, cotton balls or gauze, tweezers, hand sanitizer, antibiotic spray and bug spray. Entertainment • Reading Material. A road trip is the perfect time to dive into a good book, such as New York Times best-seller and Reese Witherspoon Book Club pick “The Alice Network.” The enthralling historical novel from national best-selling author Kate Quinn tells the story of two women – a female spy recruited to the Alice Network, an espionage ring operating during World War I, and an unconventional American socialite searching for her cousin post-World War II. They embark on a dangerous mission to discover the truth about the betrayal that tore apart the organization, no matter the cost. Learn more at katequinnauthor.com. • Technology.

The Next Wave Of Movies And Shows To Watch Now

hether it’s the kids or grandkids wrapping up the school year, spending a little extra time with mom or traveling with loved ones for a long weekend, the potential increase in quality family time is something many look forward to in May. When everyone is gathered together, it seems at some point the conversation always turns to who’s watching what when it comes to TV shows and movies. Watching TV or going to the movies together can be a great way to bond, but people are discovering exciting series and films outside of cable channels and movie theaters. Even with busy schedules and differing tastes, streaming services like Netflix are always adding new shows and movies, so there’s sure to be something everyone can enjoy together (no matter how picky some family members may be). If you’re looking to discover something new or different from what you find on regular TV, here are five reasons to give an option like Netflix a try: 1. No More Fighting Over the Remote. Whether you’re sitting down to watch as a family or getting cozy on the couch for a date night in, there’s no need to commandeer the remote to ensure you have control of the entertainment choices. With a large selection of shows and movies, streaming services make it easy to find something you’ll love to watch together. 2. Like a Guide Channel That’s Customized for You. If you’re a fan of Blue Bloods, you can either catch up on old episodes, or give an option like MINDHUNTER a try. Or if you’re looking for laughs and love Friends, check out Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt.. It’s like a guide channel, but because it knows your tastes, Netflix will only display show and film recommendations based on

what you have watched in the past. 3. Rediscover Shows and Movies You Love. Experience some of ABBA’s greatest hits with Meryl Streep, Pierce Brosnan and Colin Firth in the musical romantic comedy Mamma Mia!, or get your action fix with Matt Damon in The Bourne Ultimatum. If you’re feeling nostalgic but are looking for something outside of reruns, consider a trip down memory lane with a reboot of classic series like Lost in Space or Gilmore Girls: A Year in the Life. 4. Take Your Shows On-the-Go. If you’re doing any travel this spring, discover a new way to stay entertained while you’re on the go. Whether you’re on the road for work or leisure, Netflix lets you watch your favorite shows wherever you are. Just use your phone, laptop or tablet to access the service and pick up right where you left off. 5. Sign-Up is Simple. All you have to do is go online to Netflix.com, choose a plan and provide payment information and your zip code. You may also be eligible for a subscription as part of some existing cable packages, and if that is the case, you may not need any additional equipment to access it. Find more information about countless shows and movies, sign up for a onemonth free trial and set up your account at Netflix.com. TV shows and movies on Netflix in May Netflix is adding new shows and movies to the service every day. Whether you’re into comedy, suspense, drama or anything in-between, you can find those genres and more on Netflix.com. Here’s some old favorites as well as new content available to watch this month: A Little Help with Carol Burnett: Season 1 In this series, Carol Burnett is joined by a group of the most honest and unfiltered

people in the world – a gaggle of straighttalking 5-9-year-old kids. These opinionated “experts” weigh in on a variety of dilemmas brought in by adults. (Available May 4) My Next Guest Needs No Introduction with David Letterman Late night legend David Letterman interviews an iconic guest of choice – past guests include former President Barack Obama, George Clooney and Malala Yousafza.

Did You Know?

n its 2015 “Cost vs. Value Report,” Remodeling magazine found that a midrange kitchen remodeling project, which cost an average of nearly $57,000 during the period examined, recouped roughly 68 percent of that cost at resale. That return was slightly less than that provided by midrange bathroom remodeling projects, which provided a 70 percent return at resale. More upscale remodeling projects provided even smaller returns, despite costing substantially more money. For example, the cost of major upscale kitchen remodeling projects averaged $113,000 during the time stud-

ied for the report. But only 59 percent of that sizable investment provided was recouped at resale. Upscale bathroom remodeling projects also underperformed compared to midrange projects, recouping slightly less than 60 percent at resale. No upscale project referenced in the report provided a greater return than replacing existing siding with new fiber-cement siding, a project that recouped homeowners a greater than 84 percent return at resale. More information about the 2015 report is available at www.remodeling. hw.net.

Road Trip Ready... continued from page 25 other devices that can make the miles pass by a little easier, like a laptop or tablet, but don’t forget headphones and chargers for any gadgets you decide to bring. Comfort • Toiletries. Regardless of where your travels take you, personal hygiene will rank near the top of the list for each passenger in the vehicle. Ensure you’ve got your bases covered with soap, shampoo, conditioner, a comb or brush, a toothbrush and toothpaste, deodorant, shaving supplies, lotion, sunscreen and any additional hair accessories you may need.

• Snacks. It’s often cheaper to pack your own snacks at home than stopping at a gas station or a drive-thru, plus you can pack some healthier choices. Consider options such as trail mix, granola bars, crackers, and dried fruits and vegetables, or if you have room for a cooler, consider fresh fruits and veggies as well as some bottled beverages. • Accessories. Long periods of time spent in the car can get uncomfortable, so consider bringing along a neck pillow and blanket to make the ride more enjoyable, and don’t forget to grab an umbrella in case the elements decide not to cooperate.

May Is American Stroke Month: What To Know Now

or patients experiencing ischemic stroke -- the leading cause of disability in the U.S., according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention -- the time it takes to receive treatment is critically important for avoiding irreversible brain damage. While getting evaluated by a specialist used to take up to several hours, new in-ambulance technology being tested by hospitals nationwide is helping patients get evaluated within minutes. May is American Stroke Month, and a good opportunity to learn how a new technology known as In-Transit Telestroke (ITTS) may transform the field of stroke treatment. With ITTS, stroke neurologists can examine patients by using video technology from ambulances, decreasing the time

between a patient’s onset of symptoms and crucial treatment. “In the case of strokes, every moment counts, and thanks to ITTS, we’re able to deliver treatment faster than ever before,” says Gary Belt, M.D., stroke neurologist at Atlantic Health System’s Overlook Medical Center in Summit, N.J., a not-for-profit multihospital system and the first in the country to implement ITTS technology. Recent research highlights the benefits of this technology: patients evaluated with ITTS in ambulances while in-transit to the hospital can be treated with the brain saving drug alteplase 13 minutes faster than those patients not assessed until they are in the emergency department (referred to as door-to-needle, or DTN, time),

according to a recent study by researchers at Overlook Medical Center and Atlantic Health System and published by the journal “Stroke.” The first-of-its-kind study assessed 89 presumptive stroke patients in ambulances over 15 months from January 2015 through March 2016. Atlantic Health System paramedics responding to neurological emergencies used an InTouch Xpress device -- a portable unit with a high-definition camera, microphone and screen -- allowing video communication with a stroke neurologist who performed a neurological evaluation of the patient while in-transit to the emergency department. Once the patients arrived at the participating hospital’s emergency department, the neurologist assumed care and,

when indicated, administered alteplase, a tissue plasminogen activator (TPA) that breaks down blood clots to restore blood flow to the brain. “We are constantly looking for ways to treat stroke patients as quickly as possible, as each passing minute of lost blood supply translates to more brain damage,” says John J. Halperin, M.D., senior study investigator and chair, department of neurosciences at Overlook Medical Center. “Our observations suggest that pre-hospital evaluation with telestroke may provide a scalable, affordable way to speed stroke treatment, as well as more rapidly direct patients to the centers capable of performing the procedures that will serve their needs best.” (StatePoint)

Is What You Learned In History Class Wrong?

f you think your history lessons in school were completely factual, you may be mistaken. “Much of what you know about history may be limited or even wrong,” says Marc Wilson, author of “Kidnapped by Columbus,” a new historical novel. “All too often, legends, poems and myths are emphasized in favor of more complex truths. History is usually written by the victors, not the victims.” What that in mind, here are four historical facts that may surprise you. Columbus a Kidnapper “In 1492, Columbus sailed the Ocean Blue,” says the famous poem that most Americans know. But Columbus never landed on or even saw North America, and when he sailed in the Caribbean and along the coast of Central and South America, he kidnapped natives to act as guides in his search for gold and the Garden of Eden. At the end of his first voyage, he kidnapped six natives from the island of Hispaniola and took the “Indians” to Spain to prove that he’d reached India. Native Americans have been mislabeled as “Indi-

ans” ever since. “While many around the world hail Columbus as a hero, even honoring him with a U.S. federal holiday and naming cities after him, his actions led to the exploitation and deaths of millions of people. He was a great sailor and explorer, but he traded in slaves and brought devastating diseases to the New World. He opened the door for Cortez to conquer the Aztec Empire, and for Pizarro to conquer the Inca Empire,” Wilson adds. Washington’s Cherry Tree As the myth goes, young George Washington couldn’t tell a lie and confessed to his father that he damaged his cherry tree. However, one of his biographers, Mason Locke Weems, had no such problems with the truth and invented this whopper in the fifth edition of his Washington biography, entitled “The Life of Washington” in 1806. And Washington never wore wooden dentures, either. He had different dentures made from gold, ivory and even lead. Napoleon: Not Short Napoleon wasn’t actually short. At the end of his life he was measured at 5 feet 2 inches -- which sounds short until you

learn this was in French inches, which are longer than British inches. In today’s inches, the fiery tyrant actually stood around 5 feet, 7 inches, which was slightly taller than the average European man of his day. He also employed tall soldiers in his personal guard, which made him seem shorter by comparison. Jackie Robinson: Not First Jackie Robinson was not the first African American to play baseball in the major leagues. While he was the first in the modern era, breaking into the National League in 1947, way back in 1884, Moses Fleetwood Walker played for the Toledo Blue Stockings as catcher. The team was part of the American Association, one of three major leagues of its day. Baseball maintained segregation for many decades after this and Robinson became the first player to end this segregation in April, 1947. So, how can those interested in history go about arriving at the truth? From, historical novels to primary source materials, reading beyond the textbook can give you a more complete and accurate history. (StatePoint)
