surrounded by a few other children and an adult, the young boy’s teacher. “That’s me on my first day of school in 1951 (in Paterson).” He then adds with a laugh, “It took me 65 years to finish school.” The outgoing administrator, who taught Science at Lakeside Middle School from 1971 to 1983 prior to his current position of 36 years, is retiring amid much admiration. Consider the words of Pompton Lakes Schools Superintendent, Dr. Paul Amoroso. “Lou Shadiack is everything a great educator, principal, leader should be. For 36 years, he made sure that every child was loved and that each had an incredible elementary school experience. For 36 years, he built relationships with staff and parents based on mutual respect and a shared vision of creating a truly great school. Lou is a humble, thoughtful and caring person. He has been a gift to our community for close to 50 years.” A special dinner in Shadiack’s honor was held on Thursday, May 9 at the Cosmopolitan in Wayne. Shadiack, speaking prior to the event, says, “It’s a reunion, actually. Retired teachers will attend. I had students who are now adults that are coming. They have busy lives, but they are coming. It has put things in perspective for me.”

“It’s a celebration with everyone together. It will be a nice farewell.” “I have worked with Mr. Shadiack for 23 years and was a former student of his at Lakeside,” says Edward Woodcock, a Lincoln School fourth grade teacher. “The best way I could describe him is hard working, putting other people’s needs ahead of his own, humble, well respected, and the best way to describe him is a class act. He will be missed by the community, the faculty, and most of all the students. I truly never heard anyone say a bad thing about him. continued on page 2

continued from front page He deserves the best in his retirement.” Shadiack is not resting easy in his final days at the helm. Quite the contrary. On a recent busy Tuesday morning, he fields many calls into his office phone and follows up regarding the prior day’s events with his office staff. “I am not counting the days,” he says. “I have to be true to myself and work to the end. After 36 years, it becomes a part of you.”

Helen Tardif worked with Shadiack at Lincoln before becoming Principal at nearby Lenox Elementary School. “Lou Shadiack is dedicated to Lincoln School and the students. He truly loves his job and the students love him. He is an outstanding principal and will be missed.” Shadiack, who will be 70 in September and in retirement will spend more time with his family and do some traveling,

the team together.” He leans in, then says. “A team that experiences success will continue to experience success.” As Louis Shadiack departs, you know his presence will live on in Lincoln Elementary School.

Local Historian Adds to His Book Repertoire

By Steve Sears orough of Bloomingdale historian Tom Riley is set to release his fifth book to the public, and his sixth is right around the corner. He’s keeping history alive and passing it on to the next

generation to allow it to live on. His current book, Manning Avenue Cemetery, which includes a history and a photo of every gravestone, and obituaries and biographies of some of the people buried there, is currently available. His next book,

History of Federal Hill, will be available sometime this summer. “There’s a very minute amount of local history in the local elementary schools. So, that’s what I used to specialize in. What better way to turn kids on to history,” he says of his teaching days, “than to say, ‘This happened right here in your town. You can go right up there on Federal Hill and see where this stuff happened.’ I used that for the Hill, to get kids turned on to history. There’s so much there. It worked like a charm.” Riley, who holds B.A., M.A., and M.Ed. degrees, taught primarily History for almost

forty years in the Bloomingdale school system. He also for twenty years served as an adjunct professor at Sussex County College. Riley is also a member of the North Jersey Highlands Historical Society and other local historical organizations. Riley feels a special connection to the Manning Avenue Cemetery. His great-great grandmother, great-grandfather, and many other relatives on both sides of his family are buried in the cemetery, and he, Alan Bird, and Bob Meier recently completed a restoration project there (“Historic Manning Avenue Cemetery Recontinued on page 4

Historian... cont. from page 3 stored”, Hometown News Bloomingdale, February 2019). He has also written Bloomingdale Centennial 1918 – 2018 (written with the Bloomingdale Centennial Committee), Guns of Ringwood Manor: The Abraham S. Hewitt Civil War Firearms Collection, DeLazier Field 1946 1947 1948: Bloomingdale Troopers, and Brown/Sanders Cemetery. Since his retirement in 2010, Riley has set himself to expedition and writing. “The fun part is the research,’ he says, “You’re taking bits and pieces of stuff and it’s like solving a puzzle; you’re putting it all together.” He gathers his information, lists it on a yellow pad, prioritizes it and places the details in order of the way he wants to say it, and then he starts writing and editing. Riley’s next project is to revisit his DeLazier Field 1946 1947 1948:

Bloomingdale Troopers book. “I have gathered so much new info. It warrants a second edition. Secondly, my study of the ancient Maya, especially Maya cave archaeology (16 trips to Belize, other Central American countries and the Yucatan in Mexico) should be put on paper. I have seen some unbelievable amazing stuff. So that’s what I’m going to work on next.” Riley’s main goal with his books is to bridge the gap between the history that “lived” in past generations, and get the current generation to know it and, hopefully, respect it. “That’s exactly what it’s all about. I like to say there’s so many stories there that

haven’t been told. That’s where the Trooper book came from. I grew up a half a block away from where the Troopers played, but nobody ever told the story of ‘This guy made it to the major leagues,’ ‘Babe Ruth was there,’ – there are all these great stories.” He adds, “It’s not even the physical existence of the book. The fact that the information is going to be shared with people, that’s any teacher’s goal and that’s what the books represent: the disseminating that information to people who have an interest and this fills in the blanks for them. It’s really rewarding.” Riley’s books are available at the Bloomingdale Public Library.

her academic life at BC. Haws, who graduated summa cum laude with a Bachelor of Science degree from Boston College on May 20, was named by the Boston College Chronicle newspaper as one of six “Seniors to Remember,” out of a graduating class of some 2,200 students.

methods for recording transactions: cash-basis and accrual-basis. In general, cash-basis records a transaction when payment is made where accrual-basis books the transaction upon delivery of the good or service. Cash-basis is easier to track and a useful option for smaller businesses and sole-proprietors. Where as larger businesses who buy from vendors on account (accounts payable) generally use accrual-basis accounting. Selecting the proper method affects any related financial transactions and how your financial statements are displayed. A correct approach will also include consideration of outside factors, including: IRS rules (businesses with more than $25 million in gross re-

ceipts must use accrual-basis), bank covenants, and industry standards. Once a choice is made, it can be changed but it must be properly reported to the IRS.

4 Key Elements... continued from page 6 accounts sort the business’s transaction data into six meaningful groups. They are assets, liabilities, equity, income, cost of goods sold and other expenses. Each group will often have numerous accounts and sub-accounts associated with them. Having the right mix of accounts created and grouped in an organized fashion will help you properly classify transactions and prepare usable financial statements. The proper account structure for your company will mesh with your specific information needs. Enter accurate and timely transactions The value your data provides is dependent on each transaction being recorded correctly and on time. Entering transactions in the wrong account can cause major issues down the road. Financial reporting that is delayed can hide problems that need immediate attention. Some transactions are relatively straightforward, and some are more complex (like payroll, accruals and deferrals). It’s important to have someone who un-

derstands both your business and the accounting rules enter your transactions in a timely fashion. In addition, a good monthend close process that involves reviewing each account, will find mistakes from the initial entries. Establish financial statements for decision-making The main financial statements are the income statement (income - expenses = gross profit), the balance sheet (assets = liabilities + equity) and statement of cash flow. Each statement has a specific purpose: A.) Income statement. The income statement shows company performance for a select period of time; typically monthly with a full year summary. At the end of each year the income statement restarts. B.) Balance sheet. The balance sheet displays a company’s overall health as of a certain date. It is perpetual. This means it doesn’t end until the business is closed or sold. It includes one line that summarizes the current year and

prior year results from the income statement. Statement of cash flow. This statement summarizes the inflow and outflow of cash. It ensures you know whether you have enough cash and the pattern of your cash position over time. If properly executed, your bookkeeping system will turn out accurate financial statements that can be used for several tasks - financial reporting, budgeting, forecasting, raising capital, applying for a loan, tax reporting and decision making.

Adapting to Your New Furry Friend

dopting a dog is a wonderful way to bring joy into a home, and adoption may very well save a dog’s life. According to the Humane Society of the United States, between six and eight million pets end up in shelters each year, and half of those are unlikely to be adopted. Adjusting to life with a dog is not always easy. Owning a dog is a big responsibility, the scope of which first-time dog owners may not fully grasp until their furry friends arrive at their new homes for the first time. But there are ways to make the transition to dog ownership go smoothly, which should afford new dog owners more time to

spend with the newest additions to their families. Prepare your home before Fido’s arrival. While many dogs adjust quickly to their new homes, preparing the home before dogs arrive can make that adjustment even easier for the dog. Dogs might be nervous and under significant stress when entering a new home for the first time, so prepare the area where the dog will be spending most of its time. Remove items that curious pooches

may break, and don’t forget to move household cleaners from floor cabinets to high shelves so dogs won’t ingest anything harmful. Have a crate ready for the dog if you plan to crate him or her so you don’t have to introduce it after the pet has already grown acclimated to its new living arrangements. Prepare and stick to a schedule. Dogs benefit from ro u t i n e , so before b ri ngi n g your dog

home figure out when you are going to feed and walk the dog, and which times of day you plan to play with him or her. Examine your own schedule and recognize that you might need to make some changes to accommodate your new housemate. By sticking to the same daily feeding and walking and socializing schedule, the dog should acclimate more quickly. Another benefit to adhering to the same schedule is the dog will grow accustomed to relieving itself at the same time each day, reducing the likelihood of potentially messy accidents that no dog owner wants to continued on page 11

Adapting... continued from page 10 clean up. Keep things calm. A hectic household might make it difficult for the dog to adjust, so remain calm and encourage other residents to do the same until the dog seems comfortable in its new surroundings. If necessary, limit visitors to your home and steer clear of the dog park or other places where the dog might become overexcited. As the dog grows more comfortable, you can then invite one or two friends over at a time and start taking the dog to the park as well. Take note of any irregularities. Some shelter dogs come from abusive situations, and the effects of those situations may still be lingering. While it’s perfectly reasonable to use leashes when walking dogs, recognize that some dogs may

associate leashes or other objects with past abuse. In such instances, speak with your veterinarian about the best ways to address these irregularities, and always exercise patience as your dog adjusts to his or her new surroundings. Shelter dogs often make great companion animals, and owners should allow their new dogs ample time to adjust to their new home. Dr. Matthew Krupnick is the owner of the Pequannock Animal Hospital. He grew up in Kinnelon and is happy to be home – with his wife, three cats, and two dogs – to provide quality and compassionate care for pets in the community. The Pequannock Animal Hospital is located at 591 Newark Pompton Turnpike in Pompton Plains. You can reach the hospital by calling 973-616-0400.

Lincoln Park Public Library Awaits Funds for Expansion

by Steve Sears he Lincoln Park Public Library is anxiously awaiting the time when its proposed expansion can begin. Stephanie Iberer-Flood, Director of the Lincoln Park Public Library since April 2012, explains what has transpired thus far, and what is holding up the process. “The previous LP Library Director saved money from the library’s budget for many years (state law allows 20% of the budget to be reserved for capital expenses). I saved some in the seven years that I have been here. We also received a $5,000 estate gift. We will not be asking the Borough of Lincoln Park for any funds to renovate. All the money we use will be funds that the library has saved in its capital account, gifts from the

community, and the matching grant money the state will give us when they approve our project. We are waiting for the (New Jersey Library Construction Bond) Act to be presented so until that happens, we are at a stand-still.” The library, which was built in 1969, has never been renovated, but discussions to plan one was begun by the library Board of Trustees prior to Iberer-Flood’s being on-site. “We had plans drawn up and went out to bid in March 2017. The bids came back high, and we were working with our architect, James P. Cutillo & Associates of Pompton Plains, to rework the plans when we heard the New Jersey Library Construction Bond Act was going to be on the ballot in November 2017. We knew it was being

talked about prior to this, but when it became a definite on the ballot, we decided to wait.

Simplify Summer on the Grill

ummer is typically a busy time for families, making those moments you spend together all the more precious. The hustle and bustle of the season doesn’t have to mean sacrificing wholesome meals, however. Take advantage of the warm weather and step outside the kitchen to focus on enjoying the outdoors with family around grilled favorites, such as burgers. You can

even make meals on the grill your own by putting twists on a classic, such as Barbecue Macaroni and Cheese Burgers or Buffalo Macaroni and Cheese Burgers. Another time-saving tip: Consider refrigerated side dish options like mashed potatoes and macaroni and cheese from Bob Evans Farms, which are ready in just six minutes and provide homemade taste. In addition to topping burgers, these sides can be used as an ingredient in appetizers like Crunchy Jalapeno Potato Poppers and Pulled Pork Mac and Cheese Sliders, which are perfect for snacking on while catching up on the events of the day. Find more recipes and time-saving ideas to make the most of grilling season at BobEvansGrocery.com.

Morris County 4-H Fair:

A Great Secret Nobody Knows About

By Dawn M Chiossi he 4-H Organization, according to Manager and 4-H Program Associate, Kathy Murarik, 4-H is “a great secret nobody knows about.” But when the annual Morris County 4-H Fair rolls around, with approximately anywhere from 15 to 20 thousand people attending, that secret is definitely out of the bag. Taking place on July 18 through 21st at Chubb Park in Chester, the Morris County 4-H Fair will be held for 4 days. There’s something wonderfully homespun and old fashioned about a 4-H Fair, and it’s not just for those in rural communities any more. The fair will be sponsored by the Morris County 4-H Association in support of the 4-H Youth Development Program of Rutgers Cooperative Extension. As well as providing summer fun, this summer staple also showcases the vast achievements of the Morris County 4-H

members ranging in age from those in kindergarten all the way up to one year after high school. Dedicated to “making the best better,” as their motto suggests, 4-H is a United

States based youth network of organizations whose mission is to engage youths into reaching their fullest potential. Through the program, kids learn about continued on page 17

Morris County 4-H Fair... continued from page 16 projects that they are interested in, work with mentors, and participate in community service projects. And that’s what makes a 4-H Fair different and special compared to other standard fairs. It’s a chance to share in and celebrate the kids and their accomplishments. People can see with their own eyes their hard work and devotion that goes into their projects: From goat races, to goat agility courses, to dog shows (including seeing eye dogs), to chickens, rabbits, small animals and more. Animals are only part of it however, there’s also sports oriented showcases, science, crafts and exhibitions, clothing and textiles, needlework, cooking, baking, vegetables and flowers, everything that can even extend to poetry, pictures, creative writing, and art work. Murarik even discloses that there will be a wood carver, and a beekeeping demonstration where they can sell honey. “It’s whatever you can think of,” she en-

thuses. “With 4-H, there’s no limit.” After showing their accomplishments, there will be judging (for the older members) and they will win prizes. 4-H is a definite learn by doing approach, and as such it boosts and empowers its members to become competent and caring adults, preparing them for the world. Through the works of 4-H, it gives them the knowledge, attitudes, skills and tools they need to make a contribution to community and the world at large. Warm and enthusiastic regarding the organization, Murarik, has been with the Morris County 4-H Fair since it began at Chubb Park in 1984. She relates that before then, the fair was just more like an expo, something that took place inside at the Rockaway Townsquare Mall. But once people discovered all of the fun they could have at this event, it was ultimately moved to its outdoor location of Chester’s Chubb Park-- expanding from two days to its current four. “Our fair is still very small compared

to other 4-H Fairs out there, with approximately 10 tents so far,” Murarik remarks. “It’s big, but it’s not humongous. It is filled with all sorts of unique things and amusements. It’s very workable to see everything easily,” she tells. In addition to the project animal shows, the fair will have rides and amusements, fun and games, live music, performances and demonstrations, pony rides, hay rides, petting zoos, a cake decorating contest, watermelon eating contest, dress-a-pet contest, and a craft sale table. Of course, like any summer fair, there will be lots of food to tempt the appetite including foods like barbecue, a food sale table, and much more. Attendees won’t want to miss the Friday evening fireworks show (with a rain date of Saturday) or the Saturday hot air balloon rides and tricky tray. There is no fee for the fair, but there is a $5.00 donation for parking and $10.00 donation for fireworks. continued on page 20

Morris County 4-H Fair... continued from page 17 Whether people attend just one day, or every day, there will be much to see and enjoy, and Murarik is elated. Keeping her fingers crossed for good weather, not just for the fair, but for the hot air balloon ride, it has a special place in her heart. Having taken one in the past, she can barely contain her anticipation to take one again this year. She describes the balloon as tethered and rising to about 50 to 75 feet. “It’s intense, loud and hot and you are right there. It’s such a unique experience. I love it,” she enthuses. And very quickly Murarik’s mind circles back to the members of 4-H. When she describes how their opening ceremonies showcase the clubs,

participants, banners and flags, it’s almost like a parade where they introduce everyone, and remarks are made. Best of all, it gets everyone excited for the festivities yet to come. The Morris County 4-H Fair is not just a good time, it is a culmination of everything that the members have learned from the club, Murarik explains. “They run it all. This is all about having the members take on leadership roles (such as running a business and public speaking) and having them be responsible. 4-H teaches them so much: Confidence in leadership and citizenship, empowering them. I’ve seen 4-H turn kids from a shy youngster into amazing leaders.”

Freeholder Cabana Inducted into NJAC Statewide Hall of Fame

orris County Freeholder Director Doug Cabana was inducted today into the New Jersey Association of Counties’ inaugural Freeholder Hall of Fame during an event held in Atlantic City. Cabana, who is a Boonton Township resident, was one of a dozen freeholders from across New Jersey to be honored for their leadership, commitment to county government, and 20 years of public service as elected freeholders. The award was made during the President’s Luncheon at NJAC’s 69th annual county government convention, this year at Caesar’s in Atlantic City. Freeholder Cabana is the longest-serving member of the Morris County Board of Freeholders, having joined the

board in April 1997. He is a former freeholder director who was elected by his colleagues to that post in 2000, 2001, and again in 2017, 2018 and 2019. He served as deputy director in 1998, 1999, 2011 and 2012. A past president of the New Jersey Association of Counties, it was under Freeholder Cabana’s leadership in 2006 that the association became an initial driving force behind the now popular concept of “shared services.” He continues in 2019 as Morris County’s representative to that statewide association, a role he has held since 1999. Cabana was mayor of Boonton Township for six years and a member of the township’s governing body for 11 years.

He is a member of the 200 Club of Morris County and a former president of the Morris County League of Municipalities. Freeholder Cabana is an

Library Awaits Funds... continued from page 12 rooms, quiet study room, reading rooms, and plenty of tables, chairs and comfortable spaces are what people are looking for. Of course, people are always going to borrow items from the library, but they are also gathering at libraries and that is an area we are not able to offer to our community at this time due to not having a meeting room.” The ultimate plan, if and when grant money is received, is very worthwhile but also very involved. It includes expanding the children’s room and adult book area, adding a meeting room space, adding at least two quiet study rooms, creating a light-filled reading room for those reading magazines and newspapers, making the children’s book stacks ADA compliant, and giving the li-

brary a facelift. “We also need to put on a new roof, fix falling plaster, put in a new front entrance with a new canopy, change out the windows, put in new flooring, replace the bookshelves, install an exterior book drop, update the utilities, install new ceiling tiles, and paint the interior, among other things,” says Iberer-Flood. “Right now, all of the library’s programs, both adult and children’s, are held in the children’s room. It’s not a private space and sometimes people feel they are interrupting when they are looking for children’s books during a program. We want everyone to feel welcome and comfortable in the library. When we have a dedicated meeting room space, we can not only hold our own programs in that space, but we can also allow commu-

nity groups to use the space for meetings and gatherings.” The public can donate directly to the Lincoln Park Public Library, which is located at 12 Boonton Turnpike in Lincoln Park, or to the Friends of the Lincoln Park Public Library. The library is always seeking new

Friends of the Library members, and anyone who is interested can contact Iberer-Flood at (973) 694-8283. “Our goal,” confirms Iberer-Flood, “is to make this renovation and addition something that the entire community can embrace and be proud of.”

Navigating Hope Throughout Morris County

By Kimberly Redmond orris County recently launched its new “Navigating Hope” mobile services vehicle, which will bring assistance-on-wheels to residents in need across the county’s 39 communities. The new vehicle, which was unveiled on May 6 in Morristown, will offer on-site benefits eligibility screenings and application assistance, as well as link people to a number of other community services. It’ll make regular stops at locations such as supermarkets, libraries, religious institutions, shopping centers, train stations and malls, according to the county. “Navigating Hope is about social justice, dignity and respect. It will provide access to resources that our neighbors may not know exists, and will offer face-to-face support and engagement. It is also about community coming together to serve community,’’ said Family Promise Executive Director Joann Bjornson.

People will be able to apply for food stamps, Medicaid, general assistance, temporary assistance for needy families, utility assistance and housing assistance, or get referrals for EITC (tax credits), WIC (nutritional assistance), aging services, domestic violence services, veterans ser-

Navigating Hope... continued from page 24 for benefits. The work stations include a computer and a multipurpose business machine that connects to the county’s Office of Temporary Assistance. “Navigating Hope” is a partnership between non-profit organization Family Promise of Morris County and the Morris County Department of Human Services and is the county’s second mobile outreach initiative. In April 2017, the county put its “Hope One” van on the

road, which provides mental health and addiction services across Morris County. Twice a week, the van, which is staffed by a Morris County Sheriff’s Office, licensed clinician and certified peer recovery specialist, brings services to people in need. The team’s goal is to prevent drug overdoses and deaths by reaching out to those who need help, rather than waiting for them to show up in a hospital emergency room.

For Kinnelon Artist, it’s All About the Color

By Dawn M Chiossi rt is much more than paint on a canvas. It is creating what you see, translating it into beauty, in hopes of sharing it with others. At its best, it touches people, makes them think, to wonder and to dream. For Kinnelon artist, John Salerno, it’s all about doing what he loves and sharing it with others. Painting and drawing all of his life, going to art school in New York, studying art in college, art has always been a part of Salerno’s life and he discloses that he does it because he loves it. Setting up a paint studio in his house, he has the commitment and discipline of the artist. “I paint every day,” he shares. Additionally, he mentions that he will paint, and then take a break or step away, and then get back to his art. For him inspiration is in the everyday, social interactions with others. He even created a portrait of his grandson for family. When asked how long a picture takes him to complete, Salerno is non-committal. “It depends, sometimes it takes a month to

a few days.” Although he paints in watercolors, he enjoys painting in oils. Mostly for the control and technique it gives him, creating the desired effects that he strives for. Experimenting with different settings, such as nature beach scenes, Salerno tells that he likes to draw people and figures. “I love the movement, the colors, the shapes,” he shares. And it’s all in the details for Salerno. “Do you know that there’s no such paint as flesh color?” he asks, “To get that perfect shade you have to mix many colors within it.” Far from being the introverted artist, Salerno is both gregarious and social. “I love seeing people, talking to them, engaging and being inspired by them.” And it is easy to see his joy in the paintings themselves. He mentions that he wants his paintings to speak to everyone, for them to feel uplifted when they see it, or hang one in their home. For Salerno, it is important that they be timeless--that when looking at the painting, it could reflect any time.

by Steve Sears he Township of Pequannock’s 5th Annual Food Truck Festival will be held on Saturday, July 6, from 11 a.m. to 6:00 p.m. at PV (Pequannock Valley) Park. The event was started in 2015 in hopes of increasing PV Park Woodland Lake membership. “It was a way to get folks through the gate to see just how beautiful the park is,” says Barb Meloy, Recreation Coordinator for Pequannock Department of Parks & Recreation. “Anytime we can expose any of our facilities to the community is a good thing!” The folks who initially came up with the idea were the Parks & Recreation staff in 2015, Director Denise Furfaro, along

with Meloy and Katie Frey. The three wanted, in Meloy’s words, “something new and different to get people through the gates and enjoy a day at the beach.” There is a $3 entry fee for non-PV Park members, and PV park members are admitted free. The festival is open to both residents of Pequannock and non-residents. “Yes, we charge a small fee for non-members,” says Meloy. “We chose PV Park to showcase the facility, hoping to increase membership. After our first food truck festival at the park, we did see an increase!” This year’s festival will feature 10 vendors: Jersey Johnny, R & H Catering, Jersey Jack’s Kettle Corn, Empanada Times, continued on page 28

The 200 Club of Morris County recognized Heroic Actions of First Responders at Recent Annual Valor and Meritorious Awards Ceremony

Kinnelon’s P.D. Lieutenant Joseph Napoletano Recognized

by Janet Rapisardi resident Bill Lockwood of The 200 Club of Morris County recognized first responders from Morris County EMS, Fire, Police and State Police having gone above and beyond the call of duty to save and protect Morris county citizens at the club’s recent Annual Celebratory Awards evening at the Birchwood Manor in Whippany. President Lockwood drew an analogy of the above responders to a tight-knit family that come together when it matters most. “Morris County is one of the safest, because of all the first responders sitting here today”. President Lockwood stated he had the highest regard for Morris County first responders and the heroic risks they take every day for the protection of all the citizens of Morris County; “There’s much work to be done to get our message out”, he said, in support of Morris County’s first responders through The 200 Club of Morris County. Master of Ceremonies, Morris County Sheriff James Gannon began the awardee recognition by addressing the attending 400 members of the public. He described the heroic and ‘selfless’ efforts of public safety responders, detailing five separate life-saving incidents which included two dangerous ice rescues (Denville, Kinnelon), one fiery mo-

tor vehicle collision (Rockaway Township), a split-second command decision that has saved and changed a life forever(Madison), and an ”MCI”, Major Casualty Incident (Mt. Olive), involving hundreds of coordinated first responders from multiple agencies, including hospital medical personnel and multiple town agencies. It is an,” Honorable and difficult job faced by all first responders” Gannon shared, “..who daily experience the added stress of an ever-changing world in terrorism.” “We salute you, the American Hero...acting with courage, honor and self-sacrifice. God Bless you all.” Would you risk your life twice in one day? Kinnelon Police Department received a 911 call approximately 8 am on February 21, 2018. A man had fallen through the ice at Butler Reservoir in Kinnelon and was thrashing in the water 30 yards off shore for almost 15 minutes and in danger of hypothermia when Lieutenant Joseph Napoletano, Patrolwoman Melissa Huizenga and Patrolman Keith Kelly arrived on the scene. The victim’s dog was also in distress. Without regard for his own safety, Lieutenant Napoletano immediately crawled out onto the ice on his stomach to rescue the man, crawling on his stomach the entire way back. Then, Lieutenant Napoletano crawled back onto the ice

and rescued the dog with a catch pole. This was an arduous process, and the tentative nature of the ice and freezing temperature intensified multiple life-threatening conditions. Kinnelon Mayor Jim Freda representing Chief John Schwartz, expressed his gratitude to the 200 Club of Morris County for the recognition of Lt. Napoletano’s heroic efforts, emphasizing the unknown perils that first responders encounter on a daily basis. The swift and heroic actions and perseverance of Lt. Napoletano saved the lives of both man and dog. Father Lance Reis of St. Virgil’s Church gave the Benediction: “(God) Give these first responders the strength so that you will be honored. Watch over all the men and women who so generously devote themselves to helping others. Grant them courage, wisdom, strength and compassion.” Since 1971, the non-profit mission of The 200 Club of Morris County is to support Morris County’s first responders through scholarship funding and financial support for

grieving family members of public safety heroes who lose their lives while in the line of duty. President Bill Lockwood quoted Martin Luther King, “Darkness cannot drive out darkness; only light can do that.” Awards Co-Chairs Janet Rapisardi and Ron Barnett thank the public safety Heroes of our communities, who courageously put their lives at risk to guarantee the safety of those residing or traveling in Morris County. Through memberships and generous personal and corporate donations and sponsorships, the 200 Club of Morris County has collected more than $5 million to date for this worthy cause. Membership Co-Chair Jim Rizzo invites you to our next “New Member event” with an anticipated date of August. For annual membership, ad journal advertising or donations, call Club Administrator Lori Richmond today at 973-630-7933 or info@200clubofmorriscounty. com and use code 08JJR19 for a special membership advantage.

Riverdale Couple Runs in the NJ Sharing Network 5K Celebration of Life Annually to Honor Their Baby

By Elise Phillips Margulis heryl and Jared Wolf of Riverdale became involved in the NJ Sharing Network (NJSN) five years ago when their infant daughter, Hope, passed away due to skeletal dysplasia. Doctors had told the couple during the pregnancy that Hope would not survive outside of the womb. Hope was born on February 6, 2014 and lived for an hour and a half. The Wolf’s showered her with love before they had to say goodbye to her. Cheryl said that Hope, “lived a brief 90 minutes but has managed to impact lives and hearts all over the world. We named her Hope. Her name is her story; it points to a legacy of love and sacrifice that brings hope to others.” When Cheryl was admitted to the hospital on that fateful day the Charge Nurse asked if they had thought about organ donation. That moment changed the path of Cheryl’s life. “Hope is one of the greatest blessings in my life and has fueled a passion in me

that I never knew existed; to bring the important message of organ and tissue donation to those around me.” Hope’s heart and liver cells were donated for research. The Wolf family formed Team Hope and entered NJSN’s 2014 5K Celebration of Life. Cheryl remembers being “overwhelmed by the outpouring of love and support by the staff, volunteers and participants. I left that event knowing that we were now a part of an incredible family. This is Team Hope’s 6th year participating and leading a team of about 50 people at the 5K.” The race was held on June 2. The race consists of teams that represent donors and recipients of organ and tissue transplants. The families of living donors and their recipients are bonded forever. Cheryl said that people waiting for a life-saving organ or tissue donation leaves the 5K filled with hope and encouragement. Cheryl’s dedication to helping transplant donors and recipients extends beyond the

work she does for NJSN. She’s befriended women experiencing challenging pregnancies and some who have suffered an infant loss. She co-led a Bible Study for women who have had a miscarriage. It’s therapeutic to have a support group

where women can share their stories. As Cheryl said, “our babies mattered and our stories matter.” Each year the NJSN nominates one organ donor and an organ recipient to be honored continued on page 34

NJStarz Kendall Cornine Hometown: Kinnelon, NJ

By Melissa A. Kay he National Women’s Hockey League (NWHL) has only been in existence since 2015, but when it comes to people’s passion for the sport, the few years seem like lifetimes. Founded and led by women, with 100 players now part of the program, women from all around the world are interested and involved, taking what they have learned, loved, and longed for to the ice…finally. With a loyal base, new fans flocking to see games and follow the sport on social media, and go-getter girls who now get to grow up watching their role models make history, the NWHL - the first pro women’s hockey league in North America - is creating a wave of women-powered puck-slapping action. While it took much longer to come to life than hockey fans had in mind, there’s no time like the present to celebrate. And speaking of celebrating, one young woman who is taking the sport by storm and is already heading towards success is 22-year-old Kendall Cornine, of Kinnelon. Her athletic talents and drive make her a standout, something the NWHL noticed and needed. A 2015 graduate of Morristown Beard School and currently a college student at the Rochester Institute of Technology in New York, Cornine has been playing hockey since the

tender age of five. And it is not lost on her that the NWHL was established the very year she graduated high school. Coincidence or a calling? For teens who often question what their future holds as they set foot into “the real world,” surely Cornine had her sights set on one day being part of a women’s hockey team – something that was not even a blip on the radar when she first stepped onto the ice as an active little girl. She never imagined she would have the opportunity to make a career in hockey, “…but the women’s game has grown tremendously,” she excitedly explains. The promise of landing a job based on one’s passion is not something everyone can count on. But Cornine is counting her blessings. Although she put in years of patience and practice, “Around my freshman year of high school I realized I had a special talent,” Cornine shared. The four years in high school took that gift to a new plateau, soon impressing the powers that be at the NWHL. “I was drafted on December 20th (2018) in the second round and was ecstatic.” Naturally, Cornine is “extremely grateful for the opportunity.” As for her family and friends? “They are all really happy, proud, and excited for me,” she beams. Surely the folks from her hometown of Kinnelon are equally in awe of Cornine’s noteworthy accomplishment, proving

She is only 22, but Cornine is already encouraging girls and young women to pursue their sports-based aspirations just like she has. It can be trying and tough to get to her level, but Cornine advises, “Stick with it; do not let anyone take your passion for (the sport) from you.”

a hometown girl can go places. So, what’s in store for the superstar athlete? She is still in school in New York, but come August, seasonal training will be underway and grueling at that. Onand off-ice training, and plenty of practice, practice, practice will be Cornine’s new normal, but with her lifelong love for hockey, getting fitter, faster, and more focused is sure to be lots of fun. She was selected by the team in New Jersey – the Metropolitan Riveters - so upon graduation, Cornine will be happily headed back home for a family reunion as well as a rigid regimen. The other teams in the NWHL are Boston Pride, Buffalo Beauts, and Connecticut Whale, rounding out the “Founding Four” franchises, as well as the Minnesota Whitecaps. The hockey season runs from October through March, so those few months leading up to the first games will require stamina, strength, and plenty of sweat, not to mention support from friends, family, and her new teammates. But Cornine is more than ready for the challenge. “The speed and competition of the game and the people it has brought me close to,” are what pushes her to persist. “Dedication and passion for the game” gets Cornine pumped up and ready for realizing her dreams. She is only 22, but Cornine is already encouraging girls and young women to pursue their sports-based aspirations just like she has. It can be trying and tough to get to her level, but Cornine advises, “Stick with it; do not let anyone take your passion for (the sport) from you.” Her “If you don’t succeed, try, try again” mentality is exactly the state of mind she must exist in, whether it is during a practice session or a big game. Every moment makes a difference – there is no time to even think about throwing in the towel when there is a team counting on every player to put her best foot forward. But Cornine has no issue with keeping her

head held high and her confidence soaring. And she anticipates great things to come for the future of the NWHL. “I hope that (the NWHL) only continues to grow and become as popular as men’s. I hope it gives women the opportunity to make a career out of playing professional hockey.” Fans of the sport couldn’t agree more. While hockey obviously stands out as Cornine’s core obsession, she does find time to dabble in other interests as well. “I’m very passionate about health and fitness. I enjoy competing in triathlons and exercising in general. I also enjoy cooking and spending time at the beach.” And as far as any special diet to keep her hockey game (and her physique) on point… “I just make sure whatever I’m eating is right for my body,” she says. Simple, but smart. And smart is just what Cornine, as well as all the NWHL players embody. All NWHL players are college graduates. As per the NWHL, “On the rosters of NWHL teams are teachers, medical professionals, engineers, financial analysts, coaches and trainers, marketing and communications executives, and entrepreneurs.” Since practices are held at night and the games are generally played on weekends, the women in the league can have the best of both worlds. Along with these successful professional women, the NWHL has seen United States National Team Players as well as Olympic stars join their teams on the ice. These women are inspirational, exceptional, and are showing the world it’s about time women’s hockey is held in high regard. Cornine is a perfect example of such excellence, and she’s just getting started.

Riverdale Couple...

continued from page 31 at the Tournament of Roses Parade on the Donate Life Float. Cheryl applied so she could honor Hope. She is eagerly looking forward to January 1, 2020 when Hope will represent the NJSN in the Rose Parade. Sharing her story helps others and remembering Hope with others is very comforting for her family. Last year Cheryl was invited to tell Hope’s story at the NJSN All Staff Quarterly Meeting. Cheryl described how inspiring the NJSN office is, “Everywhere you look tells a story. A gift. A sacrifice. A miracle. A life forever changed because someone said, ‘yes’.” She also spoke at the International Institute for the Advancement of Medicine (IIAM). Cheryl recently became a Certified Volunteer at the NJSN and looks forward to in-

creasing her involvement in the organization this year. Cheryl is overwhelmed with gratitude for the members of Team Hope. Each year she feels humbled and overcome with emotion that so many people help her and all of the other teams to celebrate and remember donors, to celebrate recipients and to raise funds to help more people. NJSN’s mission is to increase the number of lives saved and bettered by organ and tissue donors. Almost 4,000 New Jersey residents (and tens of thousands in the United States) are waiting for a life-saving transplant. NJSN holds fundraising events throughout the year and financial contributions to the 5K Celebration of Life that was held on June 2nd will be accepted until August 31.

Did You Know?

xtracurricular activities have long been touted as a great way for prospective college students to bolster their college applications. Students may be surprised to learn just what participation in such activities may suggest to college admissions officers. According to The Princeton Review®, scattered involvement in an extracurricular activity, regardless of what that activity is, may give college admissions officers a poor impression of applicants, suggesting a student lacks the commitment and passion of applicants who were more deeply involved in their extracurricular activities. While students should not continue to participate in an activity they don’t enjoy, they may benefit from spending more time researching certain activities to ensure they choose

one they’re willing to commit to long-term. Such a commitment suggests to admissions officers that a student is willing to go through the ups and downs that typically come with engaging oneself in an activity. An ability to handle those ups and downs without giving up suggests students will be able to handle the ups and downs of college life as well. The Princeton Review® also notes that students who choose to work instead of participating in an extracurricular activity should not downplay such decisions on their applications, particularly if they were helping to support their families. The decision to help support a family demonstrates character and can indicate maturity to college admissions officers. Each of those traits can bolster an applicant’s candidacy.

The Choice for Staying Put or Moving On

a n y h o m e improvement television series showcase people deciding whether to improve upon their current homes to make them into the houses of their dreams or to put “for sale” signs in their lawns and move on to something new. The question of whether to move or stay put depends on various factors. Such factors may include emotional attachment to a home, the current economic climate and the cost of real estate. Current data points to a

greater propensity for people to invest and improve upon their current properties rather than trading up for something new. According to information collected by John Burns Real Estate Consulting, the percentage of homeowners moving up to their next home is the lowest in 25 years. Many are opting to make starter homes permanent by expanding them and repairing homes for the long haul. The National Association of Realtors said that, between 1987 and 2008, home buyers stayed in their

homes an average of six years before selling. Since 2010, however, NAR says the average expected length of time people will stay in their homes before selling is now 15 years. Part of what’s fueling this permanency is that many home buyers were able to acquire rock-bottom mortgage interest rates shortly after the 2008 recession. As a result, they’re not inclined to walk away from those rates, even if doing so means getting more house. Also, a low inventory of available houses has stymied repeat

buying for many people. Those factors and others have led many homeowners to invest in renovations instead. The experts at Bankrate say realistic budgeting and comparing renovation project costs against mortgages and interests rates can further help individuals decide whether to remain in their

current homes or move out. Very often a smarter layout and more efficient floor plan can make meaningful differences
