Millburn Students Honor Veterans With Drive, Luncheon And Flag Wall

By J. L. Shively n recognition of Veteran’s day, Fri., Nov. 11, students at Millburn High School found a way to express their gratitude to the men and women in the service both past and present.

William Miron, school principal, notes various activities that had been planned to honor veterans and help students understand the sacrifice of service.

From Thurs., Nov. 3 to Wed., Nov. 9, the school held a Veterans Goods and Supplies Drive to help collected necessary and fun items soldiers may be going without while on a tour of duty.

Items collected included books, games and toiletries, notes Miron.

A second activity held at the high school was titled Wearing Hats for Heroes and Jeans for GI’s, which was held on Tues., Nov. 8.

Students, who had paid one dollar were allowed to wear a hat for the day while faculty who donated five dollars were given permission to wear jeans for the entire school day. The wearing of hats and jeans is usually not allowed and so added a touch of whimsy and fun to this collection.

Art Buyers Fill Wentworth Gallery To The Max

P

By Maryanne Christiano-Mistretta eace, love, and color was the theme at the Wentworth Gallery, located in the Short Hills Mall, on Sat., Nov. 26, where a crowd of art lovers gathered to see and purchase originals created by the legendary Peter Max. The gallery was adorned with Peter Max’s work. Wines of red and white were served to everyone who visited the gallery, creating a community atmosphere that Max’s paintings depict.

Whoever purchased an original, was led behind the red velvet rope to meet Max, who autographed the back of the paintings.

Known for his brilliant, popping colors and elevated imageries, Max is considered one of the most famous of all living artists and an icon in pop culture. His one-man museum exhibitions have had record-breaking attendance.

During the late 1960s and early 1970s his artwork was originally associated with the counter culture, neo-expressionism and psychedelic movements in graphic design.

Max works in multimedia including: painting, drawing, etchings, collage, print making, sculpture, video and digital imagery.

Donna Porto of Holmdel came to the Wentworth Gallery to buy an original. She considered herself a new fan and didn’t know much about him at all, she said.

“I love the colors, brightness, everything!” said Porto.

“It was exciting [meeting Max and purchasing an original

Roofing

painting]. He’s nice.”

Porto’s friend Lori Harris of Sayreville said she was a Peter Max fan since the 1970s. “He’s so unassuming and quiet,” she said, adding, “He’s magic.”

Steve Vetrero of Rockaway was a fan of the artist since the 1970s. He said that once he pays off his son’s college bill he’ll purchase one of Max’s smaller pieces. Vetrero learned about the artist by reading books.

“He’s very interesting, very spiritual,” Vetrero said.

“He got into the inner universe.”

Vetrero said that his daughter, Kimberly, has Max’s famous “Love” piece tattooed on her back.

Throughout Max’s career, he’s featured images of celebrities, politicians, athletes, sporting events and other pop culture subjects. A lively Peter Max design is featured on one of Continental Airlines’ Boeing 777-200ER aircraft.

Max has painted for six U.S. Presidents. His art is on display in Presidential Libraries and in U.S. Embassies. Since America’s Bicentennial, Max has painted the Lady Liberty annually. In 2000, a collage of his Liberties adorned more than 145 million Verizon phone books.

In 2006, Max had been named an official artist of the 2006 U.S. Olympic Team at the Winter Olympics in Turin, Italy. He’s also been an official artist of five Super Bowls, World Cup USA, The World Series, The U.S. Open, The Indy 500, The NYC Marathon and The Kentucky Derby.

Max has a permanent exhibition at the Wentworth Gal-

With Winter Settling, Tips Prepare For Any Storm

By Henry M. Holden n recent years, some of the most damaging storms strike long before the first day of winter.

Think Hurricane Sandy in October 2012. And the crippling snowstorms in the waning days of winter such as March 12-14, 1993 when a Category five snowstorm which was dubbed the “Storm of the Century.

Snow blanketed more than half of New Jersey, with 20 to 30 inches in the far northern sections of the state. The National Weather Service reported the January 2016 blizzard dumped 33 inches in Morris Plains.

Whether it’s a snowstorm or a hurricane, being prepared to deal with the storm safely both before, during and its aftermath is strongly suggested.

While the kids may love having a day or more off from school, for adults winter weather means a sometimes-chaotic commute to or from work, or the stress of preparing for the storm.

The Morris County Office of Emergency Management (OEM) has put together a preparedness list of winter weather tips.

Before the storm hits, prepare the home.

Create a checklist. Include flashlights, fresh

batteries, a first aid kit, enough prescription medications to last a week, food that doesn’t need heating, a battery-operated radio, and cellphones with extra chargers. In addition to medication, have a supply of one gallon of water, per person, for a maximum of three days. Don’t forget the four-legged family members. Make sure they have four or five days of food and water.

OEM Director Jeff Paul said when temperatures go below freezing, 32 degrees, snow and ice are a real possibility. One of the most important things to do especially for the elderly and those with health issues is to stay inside. This includes pets.

Paul says to avoid charcoal-burning devices, kerosene and other space heaters. These devices produce carbon monoxide, a silent killer that can happen without any obvious symptoms. For those using these heaters, make sure to have carbon monoxide alarms installed in the home; one near the furnace, one near the bedrooms and one in the rooms with a space heater. Replace the batteries in them at least once a year. Pick the same day every year, say Halloween.

Stay warm by wearing layers of loose-fitting, lightweight, warm clothes.

If a power outage lasts overnight or into the later hours, use extra blankets and close all doors to seal the heat into one area of the home.

Prevent freezing pipes.

Freezing temperatures can cause major issues to the pipes in a home. Keep cabinet doors open to allow heat to get to uninsulated pipes under sinks and appliances on exterior walls.

Everyone in the household should know how to shut off the water valves; if a pipe does burst, this could save a lot of money in the long run.

Any outside faucets should have an inside drain function to drain the water from the pipe. If not, buy a faucet bonnet which will cover the faucet and insulate it.

Prepare the vehicle.

Having a prepared vehicle for the winter months is as important as home preparation. In the event of becoming stuck in a blizzard or white out conditions, or stranded on a back road, there are things that can be done. Pack a bag to keep in the trunk with warm clothes.

In addition to clothes,

keep the gas tank as close to full as possible, will keep the fuel line from freezing.

If stranded and must sit out the storm, carry two empty coffee cans, several candles, and a blanket. The lighted candles placed in the coffee cans will keep the inside air temperature just above freezing. Wrap up in a blanket and stay with the vehicle. One could easily get disoriented in the storm and wind up freezing to death. There will be road crews out even before the snows stop.

Paul’s team also suggests taking the car for a full inspection. For example, have the tires checked.

If tire treads are slowly wearing away, paying the price for new tires will be better than replacing a vehicle after an accident.

Common replacements be-

fore winter should include windshield wipers, oil, fluids and air filters.

Keep a shovel, snow melt and an ice scraper in the vehicle as ice can be unpredictable. Keep a bag of kitty litter in the trunk for traction; sprinkling it underneath the tires can make them stop spinning.

Blackouts and brownouts.

Partial or full power outages during major storm events are expected.

“Keep cash on hand,”

said Paul, “because banks and ATM machines depend on electricity to serve their purpose.”

Avoid opening the refrigerator or freezer as much as possible. Make sure to have an emergency power supply for anyone who needs power for medical equipment.

Preparing a home and vehicle for the coming winter will not keep the snow away, but it will make a much safer winter.

Donations Needed To Support Veteran’s Outreach Initiative At Centenary University

I

n conjunction with the Student Veteran’s Organization (SVO) and the student-based Psychology and Lions Clubs, the Office of Veteran Services at Centenary University is taking part in a Veteran’s Outreach initiative for the Fall 2016 semester. The collaboration effort will include a donations drive to benefit veterans at the VA Hospital, Lyons.

The Veteran’s Outreach project will be accepting donations of the following from now until Dec. 15: new men and women’s slipper socks, new crossword/word search/ Sudoku books, boxed K-cup coffee pods and 2017 wall calendars.

“We have planned this activity with the hope that the Centenary community will unite to honor, support, and remember the veterans in our lives,” says Margie Pavlichko, director of Veterans Services at the University.

The Office of Veteran Services at Centenary University provides valuable services and resources to student veterans, veteran dependents, active military, and re-

Fully Insured Free Estimates

servists in the Centenary community. The office is dedicated to assisting veterans in navigating internal and external systems, obtaining educational goals, developing initiatives, and helping to facilitate a seamless transition to the academic arena and successful integration to the campus community. In honor of Veteran’s Day on Nov. 11, the Office of Veteran Services saw it fitting to engage the Centenary community in various activities to honor those who have served or currently serve.

Contact Margie Pavlichko at (908) 8521500, ext. 2318 or e-mail pavlichkom@ centenaryuniversity.edu to make arrangements to drop off donations. In addition, donations can be left with the Centenary Stage Company’s box office at the David and Carol Lackland Center in Hackettstown. Drop off boxes will also be left outside of the Sitnik and Black Box theaters when performances are in session.

In addition to the donation drive, “The Honor Tree” made its fourth annual in the David and Carol Lackland Center to rec-

ognize the valor, courage and sacrifice of those who served or are currently serving.

The tree stood outside of the cafeteria from Nov. 7 through Nov.11, and is permanently displayed in the Veteran’s Resource Center on the third floor of the Ferry Building.

The Honor Tree is decorated with more than 300 stars that are placed on the tree by students, staff, faculty, administrators, and community visitors. This special tree is available year-round to hang a color-coded star in support of our troops and to honor family, friends, colleagues, alumni, and those in the greater Centenary community who have served.

Another way the Office of Veteran Services invited the Centenary community to honor our country’s veterans is through a project called The Gratitude Journal, which was also available outside the cafeteria from Nov. 7 to Nov. 11 for the campus community to write a message of thanks to Centenary student veterans and service men and women around the world.

MPAC To Offer Performing Arts Program For Children With Autism

ayo Performing Arts Center (MPAC) is proud to announce that Elaine Hall and her pioneer organization, The Miracle Project, will bring a new course curriculum to children with autism spectrum disorders and other special needs in 2017. As a Miracle Project provider, MPAC will offer this unique program for the first time anywhere in New Jersey, utilizing music, dance and theatre to unlock the creativity, personalities, and great potential of children.

This program builds on MPAC’s commitment to serve all members of the community, including children with autism and other special needs, by combining a traditional inclusion-based arts education program with the use of student aides and peers in the classroom.

The Miracle Project is an evidenced-based, award-winning program that uses music, dance and theatre to bring out the best of children with autism and their typically developing peers. Through a method called Inclusion from WithIn (I Win) and the “Seven Keys to Unlock Autism,” the program addresses the core challenges of autism – communication, behavior and socialization. Its goal is to provide children with tools to build communication, social skills, and self-esteem through inclusive theater, and to become part of a performing arts community.

“We are thrilled to bring our Miracle Project training to MPAC,” said Elaine Hall, founder and artistic director of The Miracle Project. “The need for this program is profound. The rate of New Jersey children diagnosed with autism is much higher than the national average. MPAC and The Miracle Project are so aligned in the way we approach the arts that it was such a natural fit.”

The Miracle Project’s arrival at MPAC comes at a time when a staggering 2.5 percent of children in the state are diagnosed with autism, considerably higher than the national average of 1.5 percent.

Autism spectrum disorders are characterized by social-interaction difficulties, communication challenges and a tendency to engage in repetitive behaviors. Symptoms and their severity vary widely across these three core areas.

In preparation for the launch of the two session course offering beginning in January 2017, MPAC educators will train directly with Hall and her team this December in the methods that her groundbreaking, West Coast-based program has developed for the past 12 years.

Hall will give a free public lecture on Mon., Dec. 12 at 7 p.m. at the MPAC. The lecture, titled Elaine Hall and Inclusion from WithIn and The Seven Keys to Unlock Autism, will discuss how the program uses performing arts to provide children on the autism spectrum with tools to build communication, social skills and self-esteem through inclusive theater, and how she plans to implement that program at MPAC. Added Hall, “Our training programs understand the specific sensory and emotional needs of children with autism.

Imparting this training to the MPAC educators will enable them to not just assist with intervention techniques, but ultimately provide the right theatrical foundation for future theatre, film and television professionals in a way that encourages belonging to a theatrical community.”

“Establishing The Miracle Project at MPAC is a milestone for our arts education program and an amazing opportunity for us to expand our offerings to serve children of all

needs,” said Cathy Roy, MPAC education director. “We’re looking forward to training with Elaine Hall and becoming certified as the only Miracle Project provider in the state of New Jersey where 1 in 41 children are affected by autism.

There is a great need here for a program like this and we are very honored to be a part of it. The program is aligned with our philosophy of building self-esteem and acceptance through the use of collaboration and artistic expression.”

The spring 2017 semester will offer two course opportunities. One course will be offered to 10 students with autism, ages nine through 15, who require individual aides and 10 neuro-typical “peer mentor” students who volunteer to undergo the program alongside their peers with autism.

The second course will feature 10 students with autism, ages nine through 15, who do not require individual aides, along with 10 neuro-typical students. Each course runs 22 weeks, and culminates in an open-class presentation.

The concept of pairing students with autism with others who do not allows the students with autism to learn from their neuro-typical peers, engendering social skills and invaluable friendships.

“MPAC is committed to making the performing arts accessible to all members of our community without any barriers,” said Allison Larena, President and CEO, Mayo Performing Arts Center. “The launch of The Miracle Project program at MPAC significantly enhances our offerings for children on the autism spectrum and with other disabilities through a revolutionary and specialized theatre training program.”
