Darryl Strawberry Delivers Message Of Hope To Hanover Students

By Cindy Forrest e played professional baseball for the New York Mets and the New York Yankees; was a four time World Series Champion; was elected to play in the All Star Game eight times; won two Silver Slugger awards and the 1988 National League Rookie of the Year award; and was the co-champion of the 1986 Home Run Derby. And in his own words Darryl Strawberry also was a drug addict, an alcoholic, a liar, a cheater, a womanizer and a sinner. He subsequently divorced twice, went to jail and was diagnosed with cancer. Yet his story is not one of loss and sadness, it is about redemption, rescue and restoration. On Oct. 3 Strawberry stood before an audience of more than 200 people in the Scott R. Pepper Theater at the Memorial Middle School in Whippany to tell his story. “Most people don’t know my story, they only know my glory,” he said. Strawberry explained that his father was an alcoholic, who used to make him lay on the bed with his shirt off while he beat him with

and extension cord. “And I used to think,” he said, “why can’t he just love me?” At the age of 14 he was smoking marijuana. Seven years later, he was playing right field for the Mets. But Strawberry was a damaged person. “I was scarred before I ever put on a uniform. I was broken inside,” he said, “and neither success nor money could fix me.” He is now a best-selling author, the founder and leader of Strawberry Ministries, an advocate for recovering addicts and a voice for the drug crisis in America. Strawberry and his “From Strikeout to Recovery and Hope” Program, was introduced by Hanover Superintendent of Schools Michael J. Wasko. He told the audience, “Today, as an ordained Minister, Darryl’s purpose and passion is serving the Lord Jesus Christ by speaking a message of hope and helping others transform their lives through the power of the Gospel; and I quote, ‘I was once very lost and tormented but now I am found and free in Christ Jesus. I want everyone to experience the saving and transforming power of Jesus Christ.’”

The legendary slugger’s program was sponsored and funded by the Hanover Township Substance Abuse Council. Many members of the council attended the event including Tom Freeman. “I brought my kids here tonight to educate them about this serious subject,” Freeman said. Speaking to parents, Strawberry advised them to never, ever give their children prescription drugs. “It will alter their minds and they will love it,” he said, “kids

are so susceptible.” Instead he suggested giving them a Tylenol and letting them rest. “Better they should hurt a little now then have their lives changed forever.” However Strawberry’s main message for families was to get back to the basics. He told parents to sit down at the dinner table and “have conversations with your children.” He slammed social media for making kids unable to carry on a conversation and he encourcontinued on page 4

Strawberry Delivers Message... continued from page 2 aged parents to communicate with their kids. “Talk to them about sex and drugs, decisions and consequences,” he said. “If they don’t learn about those things from you, they’ll learn about them from other people, the wrong people.” Recently Strawberry spoke in a school district in Pennsylvania where last year they lost 3,500 lives to overdoses. This year they expect 4,500 deaths. Last week he spoke at a school in Ohio where 30 kids a week are dying from drug overdoses. “We’re losing kids in an alarming number,” he said. “We are in a crisis here. It is all across America. And if you’re thinking it’s not in our neighborhood, you’re wrong, it’s everywhere. “Dads pay attention to your kids,” Strawberry encouraged. “Kids are lonely. They need hope and encouragement. They need to know that their lives matter because once they become addicted, it’s very hard to break.” He added that it’s going to take a community to make a difference. “Get out and

get involved.” Strawberry also suggested parents talk about faith. “Life is about love not ‘stuff;’ don’t be afraid to talk about faith,” he said, “because faith is the answer to change.” It was faith that brought Strawberry back from the brink. Sixteen years ago he was $3 million in debt and didn’t even have a driver’s license. “My wife Tracy pulled me out of a crack house. When I asked her why I couldn’t just die,” she said, “you’re not that lucky. God has a plan for you.” In the years that followed Strawberry and his wife founded two Christian-based Drug and Alcohol Rehab Detox Centers in Florida. “It took a lot but I was healed, Strawberry said. “I found the true meaning of life, I found out who I am. Now I walk with humbleness, my life is about keeping young people to away from drugs. I get up every day to help others that are hurting. Through my recovery centers, I get to snatch young lives out of the pit of hell. It is the greatest gift to have a purpose in life

and mine is to help bring a message of hope.” There is a stigma attached to addiction but it’s so wrong, he said, addiction isn’t about weakness. People are hurt and broken, they get lonely and lost and they turn to drugs. “Don’t give up on people that are on drugs or alcohol,” he said, “their lives matter.” Jeanine H. of Whippany agreed. “Never give up on the peo-

ple in your life on drugs or alcohol, stand by them to the bitter end. I’ve been in recovery for 17 years thanks to a spiritual awakening. Faith is amazing,” she said. Strawberry’s final heartfelt words ended with applause and standing ovation. “I’m 55 years old and I don’t know how long God will leave me here on this earth but I know I’ll finish strong,” he concluded.

41st Annual Morristown Craftmarket Sunday Oct. 20-22

he Morristown CraftMarket, now celebrating its 41st consecutive year as a nationally acclaimed and charitable fine art and craft show featuring 150 gifted artists from more than 25 states throughout the country, will be held Friday, Oct. 20 through Sunday, Oct. 22 at the Morristown Armory. The show hours are: Fri., Oct. 20, 5 p.m. to 9 p.m.; Sat., Oct. 21, 10 a.m. to 6 p.m.; and Sun., Oct. 22, 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. “For four decades, the Morristown CraftMarket has received acclaim as a major cultural and charitable event not only in New Jersey but throughout our nation,” said Show Director Geoffrey Price, a member of the not-for-profit and all-volunteer Kiwanis Club of Randolph Township, which sponsors and runs the Morristown CraftMarket. “The thousands of patrons who come each year to our show at the Morristown Armory know that we showcase extraordinary, one-of-akind and limited edition fine arts and crafts - all made in America by American hands - and that all our profits go to charities,” said Price. The exhibiting artists will display and sell their original and magnificent creations in jewelry, leather, ceramics, metal, glass, wood, furniture, mixed media, wearable fiber and more. Premature Birth is a National Health Crisis A Silent Auction will be run throughout the show in loving memory of Robert James “RJ” Nelson, III, a brave baby boy who was born 13 1/2 weeks premature and fought hard for the right to live for 82 days (April 6 - June 27, 2016). The Silent Auction will put the spotlight on premature birth which the March of Dimes calls “the leading cause of death of babies in the U.S.” (Premature Birth Report Card, www.multivu.com) Proceeds from the Silent Auction will benefit the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit of Morristown Medical Center (“Sam’s NICU”), which helps premature babies and their families. The Silent Auction will conclude on Sunday, Oct. 22 at 5 p.m. at the show. Winners need not be present. RJ’s mother, Claudia Nelson, is spearheading the Silent Auction and will help to run the large booth in the show where it will be

held along with other supporters of Sam’s NICU community, including family members who had to deal with health problems - many of them tragic - with their babies. Claudia Nelson and her husband Bob Nelson will bring RJ’s twin sister Annalise to the show. “No parent or family ever imagines that their baby/babies will come early,” said Claudia Nelson. “You get thrown into a world that becomes a whirlwind of emotions, similar to a roller coaster. This roller coaster becomes your life, your heart, your home. It is truly an honor and privilege to be part of the 41st Annual CraftMarket, and the awareness we can spotlight onto Sam’s NICU at Morristown Medical Center and premature birth.” Premature birth - which affects babies of all races and ethnicities is a leading cause of disabilities in babies that can affect their whole lives. (www.marchofdimes.org). About 1 in 10 babies is born prematurely each year in the United States, according to the March of Dimes. (www.marchofdimes. org) “The numbers are staggering, as is the emotional and often financial toll on the families struggling through premature births,” said Price. “Premature birth is a health crisis in America. These babies are crying out for us and we need to listen to and help them.” Opening Night Reception The Morristown CraftMarket will host an Opening Night Reception on Friday, Oct. 20 from 5 p.m. - 8pm for patrons who are at least 21 years old. Beer and wine will be sold. Clothing Drive continued on page 11

Fall In Love With The Hanover News’ New Magazine-Style

By Cheryl Conway elcome to the new Hanover News publication. Readers can expect the same great positive stories local to the area, but at the same time enjoy the smaller, compact paper easier to take along and even keep intact without pages falling out. The new format is really a blend between a newspaper and magazine. “The only difference is the size and the cover,” says Joe Nicastro, co-publisher of New View Media Group LLC along with Mary Lalama. “We still will have news and local articles. In fact the actual size of the image area is exactly the same in length at 10” just the width is 7.5” instead of 10.”

New View Media Group currently publishes 14 monthly newspapers and four bi-monthlies, covering stories in 42 municipalities, mailed for free to more than 190K homes and businesses. The Flanders couple began their newspaper company MJ (My Jersey) Media back in 2004, starting with the Mt. Olive Weekly. That grew to eight papers, to 15 in 2015 when they added seven new publications in the Eastern part of N.J. and changed their name to New View Media with an idea to “have a new view on media,” says Nicastro. Since then, they added on four more bi-monthlies in the northeastern region of N.J. stretching into Passaic County with the publi-

cation of the Hometown News. “I am always looking for ways to improve the product,” says Nicastro regarding the recent style change of his papers. “After discussion with many readers over a period of time the same suggestion was being said. They wanted a magazine type publication that would not have pages fall out when moved and something smaller that is easier to handle. This was a tough decision as the printing costs are about 15 percent higher than the large size. But I wanted to make sure the readers get what they want to keep the papers longer which will help advertisers.” While photos have always been included, the publications attract readers with a larger colorful photo on the front cover. “It allows us to feature a large local photo on the front cover and as well as offer our advertisers some other advertising options,” says Nicastro, adding that he is pleased with all the positive feedback he has received so far. “I have to say in my 30 years of publishing I have received more positive responses to the magazine format than anything else

Awesome! Liz M, Mt.Olive. Dear Editor: Thank you for such a wonderful Wayne Hometown News booklet. It ‘s so convenient to hold and very legible. The articles are interesting and quite informative, the advertisers are great. Keep up the good work. Camille. While style has changed, content will still focus on all positive news local to the community- from schools to government, people, organizations, places of worship, libraries, non-profit groups, volunteer services, children’s programs, scouts and fundraisers. Each issue hopes to draw in more input from readers and timely topics. For example, “For our Valentines issue I would like to have readers submit letters on how they met their loved ones,” he says.

IMPLANT DENTISTRY For over twenty years, implant dentistry has been a reliable option for patients with missing teeth. With the ability to support a crown, an implant procedure has the capacity to bypass drilling the adjacent teeth. Additionally, with the recent availability of mini implants, implant dentistry has expanded its utilization to anchoring both full and partial dentures for a more secure fit. As they provide an economic alternative, patients have been very receptive of mini implants, as they make eating and speaking with dentures much easier. Dr. Helen Chiu has always been involved in implant dentistry, making it an integrated part of her everyday practice. From replacing a single tooth, inserting crowns or bridges, securing dentures, to creating multiple, full-arch reconstructions, she performs every step of each process, surgical and restorative.

By Jason Cohen n order to keep up with the ever evolving technological times, libraries have had to adapt. Now, residents and teachers in Morris County can access books on their personal devices, without leaving home. Now that the school year has started, MAIN (The Morris Automated Information Network) consortium libraries are making things more appealing for youngsters and even adults who are tech savvy. MAIN consortium library card holders now have the opportunity to use the TumbleBooks Library to access digital children’s story books, read along eBooks, videos, games and more. In order to help grant access to services like Tumblebooks. MAIN Executive Director Phillip Berg feels this will not only help library membership, but enhance education. “The MAIN member libraries felt it important to help support the efforts of teachers and school libraries by not just offering a limited courtesy library card to teachers, but a full access one,” Berg said.“ Educating our young people is an important endeavor which (public libraries) can and should help as members of the greater local community.” Additionally, K‐12 teachers can register for a full service library card in the town in which they teach if they do not already reside in the MAIN public libraries service area. TumbleBookLibrary is a curated database of children’s e-books, available by subscription to Elementary Schools and Public Libraries around the world Library users may access TumbleBooks by visiting a participating

library’s website or installing the app on their smartphone. Users will be asked for their library card number to verify their access. Visit your library’s website for a link or go to: http://bit.ly/maintumblebooks Emily Weisenstein, head of youth services at Madison Public Library, who co‐chairs the MAIN Youth Services Committee, feels this new app is a step in the right direction. “It is a fantastic resource for our patrons,” Weisenstein said. “They offer a wide range of juvenile eBooks that children can access at anytime, anywhere – all they need is an Internet connection and a library card. I especially like their selection of interactive picture books, which allows children to read along with some of their favorite titles. It’s fun, easy to use, and popular.” MAIN libraries joined the rest of the country in celebrating September as National Library Card Signup Month. MAIN was originally created in 1980 when several of Morris County’s libraries were automated with a shared computer system. Today, it is now a consortium of 38 public libraries located in Morris, Somerset and Warren Counties. Its mission is to lead and encourage collaboration, resource sharing, staff development and innovation by providing high quality, cost effective shared services to member libraries for their communities. MAIN libraries serve more than half a million residents of all ages. Patrons of member libraries have access to more than 2.8 million items including eBooks, eAudiobooks, Blu-rays, DVDs, music, museum passes, videogames and books.

By Maryanne Christiano-Mistretta ore than 200 people came to The Ukrainian American Cultural Art Center of NJ in Whippany, for the “Light the Night” Battle of the Bands to raise money for CUMAC on Saturday, Sep. 30. The event was collaborated by Jennifer Miller; Jayne DiGregorio of Poppy Dreamz Events; and David Philp, drummer, and founder of the YouChoose Band, as well as the evening’s host. Since 2011, Philp helped raise more than $70,000 for CUMAC. “He and his bands are always volunteering their time,” said Adrian Diaz, community engagement coordinator for CUMAC. Saturday evening’s occasion raised close to $5,000. Happenings included: Tricky Tray, door prizes, a guitar auction, pumpkin painting for children, food, drinks – and of course live music. The YouChoose Band and Double Jynx dueled it out performing hits from the ’70s, ’80s, ’90s, and ’00s. Double Jynx was led by Grammy Award winning music producer Rob Fusari, and included Drew McKeon, drummer for Michael Bolton; bassist Stu Brooks, Matisyahu musical director for Dub Trio; and Dominic Gallucci, who toured with Wu-Tang Clan. They wowed the audience with tunes by Led Zeppelin, Aerosmith, Tears for Fears, Oasis, and Jet; while The YouChoose Band got the crowd moving to songs from The Who, Pat Benatar and Adele. Then both bands joined together for

Author To Discuss Memoir At Carpe Diem Whippany Event

an incredible version of Queen’s “We Will Rock You/We Are the Champions,” which earned them all a standing ovation. The competition went on for almost two hours while audience members picked their favorite by placing donations in baskets labeled with the name of each band. “It was a great night,” said Diaz. “Two great bands battled for the crown. Dave Philp is always looking for new ways to add excitement for CUMAC events. We’ve had Motown nights, eighties nights. He and his bands are always volunteering their time. He pitched this idea and said, ‘Let’s run with it.’” On Sunday, Oct. 29, CUMAC is having a Charity 5K to scare hunger away at the Garret Mountain Reservation in Paterson. “It’s our third year doing it,” said Diaz. “We have food, music; it’s really a great day. We’re looking for runners and walkers this year.” And for the holidays, CUMAC welcomes people to go to its website (https://www. cumac.org/) and make a donation. “We’re able to buy food in bulk so every dollar goes to the cause,” said Diaz. “We also have a driver that can pick up donations. Our drivers can pick up clothing, diaper wipes, personal hygiene products. Supporters can call us and we can schedule a pick up or they can drop off in our building.” CUMAC is a non-profit organization dedicated to feeding people and changing lives for more than 30 years. It began in the late 1970s,

friends, while still allowing us to make new ones along the way. We develop relationships with musical works in much the same way. This concert features some old friends who have stayed true throughout the years, and some new works and even soloists who promise to remain an important part of our musical experience.” The concert will feature a solo performance by HWS’s first scholarship winner, Christopher Mantell, an alto saxophonist from Randolph.
