Bedell of the U.S. Air Force, says “It is a great privilege for these cadets to be able to give back to their community in such a tangible way through the AVM.” The JROTC Airforce built the sandbag wall as part of the Veterans Remembrance Wall. The sandbags, specially formulated and packaged concrete, was donated by Quikcrete, in Flanders. “It was an extremely generous donation,” says AVM Founder Charlie Wood Uhrmann.

Poppies Grow Throughout Mt. Olive As Volunteers Bloom Everywhere
P
oppies are blooming everywhere thanks to hundreds of volunteers from teachers, and Mt. Olive school faculty to Girl Scouts. More than 350 handmade poppies were contributed to the All Veteran’s Memorial at Turkey Brook Park in Budd Lake to go on the Veteran’s Remembrance Wall. “We were invited by the principals,” says AVM Founder Charlie Wood Uhrmann. From Feb. 26 through March 26, more than 300 teachers and faculty from the Mt. Olive Middle School, Sandshore, Tinc Road and Chester M. Stephens elementary schools took some time to make poppies. “Superintendent Larrie Reynolds made the arrangements,” says Uhrmann, who was most grateful for his support. “This provided us an opportunity to share the educational components of the AVM with the teachers,” she says. “I would guess that more than 90 percent of the teachers did not know the AVM was an educational complex. Several have expressed a desire to take field trips to the park and take advantage of the tours available. We have several field trips/tours scheduled before Memorial Day.” The AVM, a unique ceremonial ground, is the host to historically denoted military ceremonies and vigils. Visitors of all ages come to learn about American history and
to pay their respects to those who honorably served in the U.S. Armed Forces. School leaders were pleased to participate. “Ann Carlson contacted us regarding this opportunity,” says MOMS Principal Susan M. Breton. “Our staff was thrilled to participate in a program that was dedicated to our veterans in our community.” Approximately 85-90 teaching staff and administrators made the poppies during the MOMS faculty meeting on Feb 26 in the MOMS cafeteria. “It was fabulous to see the amount of excitement and willingness of our staff to support the Mt. Olive community, even outside of school,” says Breton. “Charlie the woman who came in to facilitate was really informative. Gave everyone background and the staff were happy to participate. We would love to do it again.” Nicole Musarra, principal of Sandshore Elementary School, says “we were all happy to participate.” About 50 staff members gathered in the school library during its faculty meeting on March 12. “The workshop was enjoyable,” says Musarra. “Some of our classes are going to the memorial at Turkey Brook as a follow up to tie into our Social Studies curriculum.” Kevin Moore, principal at CMS says, continued on page 21

Reynolds Announces Retirement, Many Applaud His Super Leadership
M
By Cheryl Conway ost people don’t like change, but experts say that without change there is no growth. Ten years ago Dr. Larrie Reynolds took the reins as superintendent of the Mt. Olive School District and with him he brought a long-range of ideas to improve the local schools- from curriculum, to better testing scores, STEM (Science, Technology Engineering, Math), robotics, renovations in facilities, creative ideas to bring in more dollars, greater security and even stronger performance of students. The changes and improvements that he sought to make have been realized and many in town applaud him for a job well done. While many put their guard up when big changes were presented- like the elimination of busses to students who lived within a mile of the schools; deleting the D grade so students
Education meeting, Reynolds resigned from his position effective Sept. 30. “The Board of Education accepted his resignation, with regret, as Dr. Reynolds intends to relocate to Tennessee to enjoy time with his family and pursue other opportunities,” as stated in a May 1 press release issued by the board.
“Over the last ten years, Dr. Reynolds has been a true trailblazer and guiding force for this district,” the release states. “Under his leadership, the district has completed numerous facilities improvements and renovations, developed new enterprise ideas, and placed a greater focus on both student continued on page 3
AL’S are encouraged to perform at a higher level; and even his suggestion to change the date for kindergarteners to start school- Reynolds has been an innovator for new ideas and a remarkable leader in advancing Mt. Olive schools in all areas. Although passionate in his career, the time has come for Reynolds to make a change in his life and retire. At the April 30 Mt. Olive Twp. Board of

Reynolds... continued from page 2 learning and staff development and retention. Above all, Dr. Reynolds’ main focus has been the betterment of our students and of the district as a whole. The district’s state and national rankings, and the individual achievements of our students and staff, stand as a testament to this.” Sitting behind a desk was
not his style. Many mentioned how he was always available and approachable with any issues that they had. Reynolds would attend as many school functions as he could such as back to school, concerts, school programs in the evenings and classroom visits during the day. “What I liked is that he was in attendance at most, if not all, of the kids’ performances
and games at the high school,” says local mom Angie Watson. “He made himself accessible to both the children and the parents.” Karen Boyle, whose youngest son is graduating from MOHS this year, agrees: “Yes - he was at most of the events at the schools - the concerts, sporting events, he even popped into the classrooms. He definitely improved the school system overall - the test scores, the sports programs, the music and art program, and the facilities.” Besides his wisdom as an educator, Reynolds has shared his other passions such as his love and energy for music with the concerts he organized and even his performances as a singer and keyboardist. His Rock and Roll Academy, Makers Space, professional recording studio control room has placed Mt. Olive High School on the map as a leader in music
technology compared to other schools. He has been a remarkable role model to students to gather their courage to perform and step up on the stage and go after their dreams. “He was a great singer,” recalls MOHS graduate Jonah Conway. Others shared their comments as well. “Dr. Reynolds has raised the bar on the educational expectations here in Mt Olive...the removal of the D grade although initially seen as a negative was very much a positive move that had positive results,” says Todd Conway, father of six children in the district. “We as parents are much more engaged at sharing the responsibility in helping our children to succeed.” Gloria Andrich, mother of two who went through the Mt. Olive school system, says “New continued on page 4

Reynolds... continued from page 3 stadium at HS, new library at Mt. View, repurposed the “Pit” after decades of not being able to use...state of the art recording studio. “I want to say that Mt. Olive was noted as one of the top 50 in state - I know he made a positive difference with the Chinese Program - where he brought Chinese students to U.S. to experience a HS here... Chinese program supposedly brought in revenue. “And he sings! Andrich says. “I saw his band there for a concert at the HS and tickets were $50 a pop. Oh it was an Eagles concert - with a Stevie Nicks look alike. I drove there in a snowstorm to see it,” she laughs. “I think that he improved the high school - the new wrestling auditorium, the new bleachers, the recording studio,” adds Boyle. “Mt. Olive is in the top 500 for the best high schools in the United States.”
Even students have appreciated his style. “He always put students first for almost everything; for example, he would make great decisions as to whether or not school should have been cancelled for days when we had gotten a lot of snow,” says Skylar Conway, MOHS senior. Another senior, Cara Sagi says “Thanks for the snow days.” The board has begun its search for a new educational leader in the district, as stated in the release, through advertising and investigating “the best possible candidates to lead our district going forward.” It will operate as a committee to review resumes and conduct interviews, soliciting community, staff and student involvement. “Although Dr. Reynolds’ loss will no doubt be felt for years to come, we are confident that we are up to this important task and will select the best
available individual to not only continue the improvements and initiatives begun by Dr. Reynolds, but to lead our district to new heights in the future,” the release states. His more recent improvements with the new football stadium and air dome over the soccer field cannot be ignored. He is most proud. “We did this for the children, we’re thinking long-
term,” he had said in an earlier interview when the stadium was complete. “Fifteen years from now, I may not be here, 25 years from now, it’ll still be one of the best- something to be proud of in the district.” With all of his accomplishments, energy, spunk and enthusiasm, Reynolds has left his mark. He is one great leader who will be sorely missed.

A hydroponic system is a method of growing crops in a water-based, nutrient-rich solution instead of soil, grown in a greenhouse. Additionally the system will provide PVC piping and a pump that will irrigate the plants automatically, submerging the plants in water. Greatly con-

Community Pool Makes A Splash With 300 Members Already Signed Up
I
By Cheryl Conway t’s great to have choices and when it comes to cooling off this summer the options are endless….from a pail of water getting dumped on heads at Pirate’s Cove, to relaxing at the Budd Lake Beach and to even splashing in the new Mt. Olive Community Pool in Flanders. Located at Centercourt Club & Sports, Mt. Olive Twp. recently created a partnership with the sports complex to use the pool facility with membership passes sold through the Mt. Olive Twp. Recreation Department. The pool is owned by Centercourt and Mt. Olive will be leasing the pool to its residents weekends and holidays from May 26 to June 24; and daily from June 25 to Sept 3. The pool will be open from 11 a.m. to 8 p.m. The partnership is a plus for both parties as the township will now have a community pool while Centercourt will attract more participants to its camps, sports programs and facilities. “For years I have heard from a segment of the community who had an interest in a town facility,” says Mayor Rob Greenbaum. “The cost of building and operating a pool
is substantial, let alone finding a location which could work. “I approached Centercourt as I thought their property was underutilized and thought they might have an interest in selling the entire property to the town,” he explains. “The negotiations led to the current pool lease agreement which is a “win win” for the town. We are able to provide a facility for town residents, with Centercourt being responsible for the cost and operation. “This arrangement is also beneficial to Centercourt to highlight its property and programs, as well generating funds for its operations,” he says. Matt Rizzuto, vice president and chief financial officer of Centercourt Club & Sports in Mt. Olive, said 2014 was the last year the complex ran the pool membership. “We only use it for summer camps,” Rizzuto says about the pool use at the facility. It offers a 10 week multi-sport summer camp from June 26 through Aug. 31, Monday through Friday, for ages 6 to 14. The half day camp is from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m.; full day is 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. He says he liked the collaborative effort with the township as it’s “much more ap-

pealing than to do it ourselves. When you have town support, you have their backing. It was hard to do it ourselves to get membership. There’s a lot to running a pool cost wise.” Rizzuto says Centercourt is supplying the pool, staff and lifeguard and the township is running it. The Mt. Olive Twp. Council passed a resolution on April 24, unanimously approving and authorizing the execution of a lease agreement between the two parties, confirms Andrew Tatarenko, Mt. Olive Twp. business administrator. The “pool was not purchased,” Tatarenko explains, and as such taxes will not incontinued on page 16

Larger Fruit Expected... continued from page 5 fect the growing of crops, such as flooding, droughts and the world’s astronomically growing population, and point out how a hydroponic system grows the food much quicker than growing crops in soil. According to Mt. Olive Science Teacher and Science Club Advisor, Rachael Eby, the greenhouse was the vision and idea of the enthusiastic Mt. Olive Science Club students, seeking for a way to make a difference. Approximately around 10 members are running the project. She credits 7th grader Jacob McCreery for leading it and initiating the entire project! These amazing students of the Mt. Olive Science Club all came together, prepared a presentation and then stood up in front of the board of education to present their project. Hydroponic systems open many doors for gardeners. For example, this type of system can be utilized anywhere, allowing anyone to grow fresh produce. For example, a hydroponic system would be ideal for those residing in urban areas, cities, deserts, and so much more. Astronauts
have even utilized a hydroponic system in space! All of this wouldn’t have been possible with conventional growing methods. This kind of growing is not a new idea; it has been around since the ancient Egyptians. Anyone who has ever placed a stem in water knows something of a hydroponic system. Even though Mt. Olive School’s greenhouse is still in its early stages of construction for their system, the folks there are eagerly hoping for it to be done by early June. Additionally, the students and staff are waiting excitedly for the seeds they planted to germinate. “We cannot utilize the hydroponic system until the plants develop roots,” explains Eby. A hydroponic system will greatly benefit the plants because the growing season will be longer and will eliminate the problems that traditionally grown plants face such as weeds, diseases, and pests as well as so much more. In addition, this system offers something unique in N.J. The hydroponic system will ensure that plants can be grown in any kind of weather- winter or summer.

At the Mt. Olive Middle School Greenhouse, vegetables such as lettuce, tomatoes and cucumbers will be grown first, with more to follow! Feedback for the idea has been amazing. “Everyone loves the idea, especially the students!” Eby enthuses. “A lot more students have been volunteering to help with the project once they heard about the cause.” That cause is to donate the food they grow and give it to those who need it. The long term goal, hopefully by next year, is to yield produce that the students can donate to local food pantries. “The students want to give back to the community…the long term goal is to donate whatever we grow,” Eby praises. Her pride in their students and their diligence is evident as she asserts, “The best part of this project so far was the excitement the students demonstrated when the project was approved. They did not expect to receive the funds, so when they did their faces expressed pure joy! It was such a happy moment for them and a proud moment for me,” she shares warmly.

hether you like the beach, pool or splash pad Mt. Olive has what you are looking for! The Budd Lake Beach will reopen this year, free for residents because of a very generous anonymous donation. Centercourt located at 184 Flanders-Netcong Road, Flanders will also be available to Mt. Olive residents with a paid membership for those who decide to join. The township has partnered with Centercourt to lease the pool. The pool also will be used by day campers at the facility. While visiting Mt. Playmore, you can also visit the Splash Pad otherwise known as Pirates Cove. This is free for everyone to enjoy, residents and nonresidents. I am always interested in new ideas and unique approaches to offer a variety of services and to meet the needs of the residents in Mt. Olive. Having said that, I had several discussions and ne-
gotiations for quite some time with the owners of Centercourt. Ultimately a resolution was met and once again a need was fulfilled.

continued from page 10 crease. “A lease agreement was executed for Centercourt Club & Sports to provide recreational use of its pool facility to Mt. Olive Twp. residents. The township will sell memberships and guest passes and turn a portion of the revenue over to Centercourt Club & Sports. Centercourt Club & Sports will be responsible for all operation and maintenance of the premises which includes costs associated with opening and closing the pool, hiring a certified pool operator, pool chemicals and sampling and all lifeguards and supervision necessary to maintain compliant with the NJ Public Recreation Bathing Code.” Tatarenko says “The only out-of-pocket expense for the township was to purchase pool tags and to hire an on-site pool manager to check pool tags and act as a point of contact for members. Expenses will be covered by the revenue generated from selling memberships. Some may question the need for all of these options in town. “The new pool is a meant to compliment Budd Lake Beach and the Splash Pad,” says Tatarenko. “We feel there are certain residents who prefer the lake, while others prefer a pool environment. Now we have
both. A township pool is another great resource Mt. Olive has to offer its residents as we also found many residents were joining neighboring pools, Chester and Hackettstown.” Membership will be limited to Mt. Olive residents only, with no walk-ins allowed, he says. Cost to join is $400 for a family membership, $150 for an individual and $75 for senior citizens. Members can also purchase guest books for $80 each for 12 guest passes or $60 each for six guest passes. Children under 3 are free. Of any profit, “85 percent of the proceeds will be turned over to Centercourt Club & Sports; the additional revenue will be used to cover township expenses,” says Tatarenko. To sign up, residents can visit the Recreation Department or go online through its Community Pass portal. Besides the pool- which is five feet deep, heated and offers a slide and diving boardthere will be a concession stand, picnic area, tables with umbrellas, sand volleyball court, bathrooms, locker rooms, baby-pool, volleyball net and more than 100 lounge chairs. “This is our pilot season so there will
be no swim lessons, party rentals, etc. this year,” says Tatarenko. “However, moving forward we will look to expand those activities in the future.” Township officials are excited. “This is a great new addition to Mt. Olive and we are excited for a long partnership with Centercourt Club & Sports,” says Tatarenko. “The township was able to leverage an underutilized facility and offer a great service to its community without increasing cost. This is a great example of a private/ public partnership and how the two entities can work together for the benefit of the community. Over 300 members have already signed up.” For more information, call the Mt. Olive Recreation office at 973-426-7262. Badges and guest passes need to be purchased in advance at the Recreation Dept. before 3 p.m. on Fridays. An open house for the community with tours of the pool and facility will be held Saturday, June 2, from noon to 5 p.m. The pool will be open and there will be games for kids, ice-cream truck, food truck and all sports for kids to play, says Rizzuto. To sign up for the Centercourt multisport camp, call 973-855-3111.

On Behalf Of A Grateful Nation, AVM Plans Remembrance Day Ceremony
M
By Cheryl Conway ore than 500 guests are expected to come out on Monday, May 28, for the Memorial Remembrance Day Ceremony at the All Veterans Memorial at Turkey Brook Park in Budd Lake. A Service Recognition Ceremony is planned for 9 a.m. followed by the Memorial Remembrance Day Ceremony at 10:30 a.m. It has been 10 years since the AVM was inaugurated as a Veterans Memorial Site. A unique educational complex that pays tribute to those who served or are serving in the U.S. Armed Forces, the AVM has grown over the years to include multiple elements recognizing local heroes, the different wars, presidents and even war dog heroes. “On May 25, 2018 – to mark our ten years – we have adopted the National Poppy Day as one of our annual events,” says AVM Founder Charlie Wood Uhrmann.
“This year – on the exact date of our ten year anniversary – and in recognition and honor of our nation’s first National Poppy Day Congressional passage – we invite our entire community to place a handmade poppy onto our newest project – the Veterans Remembrance Wall.” This will be held on Friday, May 25, 11
a.m. to 7 p.m. at the park. The Mt. Olive Girl Scouts will inaugurate the event, she adds. “It is important to note that we are a rain or shine organization,” says Wood. “Last year our numbers were less than expected, as many believed we cancelled our continued on page 20

Ten Days Of Service-MOMS Students Embrace Lesson On Community And Civic Responsibility
E
By Cheryl Conway ighth graders at Mt. Olive Middle School received a lesson on community service recently while learning the history of wars and conflicts. Ten students from Annamarie Marro’s social studies class spent 10 days on the project participating in organized service experiences; a hands-on activity to make poppies for the All Veteran’s Memorial at Turkey Brook Park in Budd Lake; and wrote letters to veterans thanking them for their service. Marro, a new special education teacher in the district, even invited Charlie Wood Uhrmann, founder of the AVM, on March 23 to present aspects of the wars, lead discussions on various topics, and teach the students about the AVM poppy project. “Our goal: to connect meaningful community service experience with academic learning, personal growth and civic responsibility,” explains Marro. “Students have the opportunity to work as a team, build their self-esteem and self-efficacy and collaborate with positive adult role models. “Service learning opportunities help students learn and develop through active participation in thoughtfully organized service experiences that provide structured time for students to apply academic knowledge in real life situations in their
community and reflect on what they did,” she says. “It extends student learning beyond the classroom.” While learning the history of wars and conflict, Marro introduced discussions about public support and treatment of soldiers upon their return after the war; comparing and contrasting WWII to Vietnam; and how Veterans are honored thru special holidays, memorials, letters, care packages. “This led to a collaboration with the All Veterans Memorial and Charlie,” she says. A non-profit organization that promotes military outreach, community awareness and service, the AVM is local “and I
thought students would feel a deeper connection to something that is visible right in their own community. Charlie shared a video with the class showing the outpouring of kindness displayed by soldiers and civilians. In addition she gave a very informative presentation touching on the aspects of war. The students then made poppies, a symbol of remembrance for the town memorial and wrote letters to Veterans thanking them for their service.” From the project held in March, “students then reflected on their experience by making a collage of pictures representing what they learned and describing how continued on page 24
Remembrance Day Ceremony... continued from page 19 event because others cancelled theirs.” Giving the invocation this year will be retired Lt. Col. Derek Green. With a diverse career in management, engineering, acquisitions management, and combat flying operation, Green is a command pilot with more than 5,000 hours of flying time in 18 different types of civilian/military aircraft and helicopters with more than 65 hours of combat time. He is currently the vice president of the Jet Division for Performance Flight, and also chief operating officer for the startup company Miracle Mansion and the immediate past general manager of General Electric’s global flight operations division. As the former commander, operations support and DV airlift pilot for the 201st Airlift Squadron at Andrews Air Force base in Washington, DC, he managed the transport of dignitaries from the White House, Congress
and DoD. The keynote speaker will be the honorable Mark Howard Buzby, a former United States Navy rear admiral who is currently serving as administrator of the United States Maritime Administration. He retired from the Navy in 2013 and joined Carnival Cruise Line’s Safety & Reliability Review Board. In June 2017, President Donald Trump nominated Buzby to be the next administrator of the U.S. Maritime Administration. He was confirmed to the position by the U.S. Senate on Aug. 3, 2017. Among his many roles, as a surface warfare officer, Buzby made numerous deployments aboard cruisers and destroyers; he commanded the destroyer USS Carney through the ship’s first Mediterranean-Persian Gulf deployment. Following this tour, Buzby returned to sea as U.S. Sixth Fleet assistant operations officer, and participated in combat oper-
ations as part of NATO’s Operation Allied Force in Kosovo. He then assumed command of Destroyer Squadron 31 as the sea combat commander for the Abraham Lincoln Battle Group during two deployments in support of Operations Southern Watch and Enduring Freedom in Iraq and Afghanistan. Buzby’s personal awards include the Defense Superior Service Medal, Legion of Merit (four awards); Bronze Star, Defense Meritorious Service Medal; Meritorious Service Medal (five awards); and various other unit and campaign awards. Picatinny Arsenal Command Sgt. Major Sheila Royal will be among the guests of honor at the ceremony. Other highlights of the ceremony will include a performance of “God Bless America” by Theater Dance Center’s Shining Star Dancers; memorial wreaths will be placed; songs will be sung; and Taps will be played.

continued from front page supposed to be completed the first Saturday in May. “I will finish the concrete by texturizing it to look like burlap once they are done and the concrete has had enough time to cure,” she says. With 14 volunteers in all, they spent six hours of their time helping to prepare the site for the big day, saving the non-profit
tion made them as well. “The most important takeaway from the event is that we must continue to recognize the sacrifices of those who have gone before us and that many people gave the ultimate sacrifice to defend the rights and privileges we far too often take for granted,” says Moore. Thankful for being included in the project, Scott Lipson, principal at Tinc Rd. says, “I’m always looking for ways for my teachers and students to contribute to a good cause, and I felt this was definitely one of them.” About 50 teachers/aides and two administrators completed their poppies at the beginning of a faculty meeting on Feb. 26 in the school library. “I made two, and I believe my instructional supervisor, assistant principal, made one,” he says. “It’s always good to give back whenever we can. We’ve all been supported by our Veterans since the start of our country, so this is the least we could do to support them as well.” In addition to teachers and faculty, the Mt. Olive Girl Scouts played a major role in the poppy workshops, says Uhrmann.
“In addition to making the poppies for the Veterans Remembrance Wall, they will be setting poppies on each fallen hero’s paver during the ceremony, in addition to giving a poppy to each Gold Star Mother or family who lost a loved one during war,” she says. “They contributed more than 250 poppies and will begin the National Poppy Day Ceremony by being the first to affix the poppies to the wall,” she says. Mara Barr, whose grandfather was a WWII veteran, is the Girl Scout leader who has been heading up the poppy project. As a volunteer with the AVM for the past three years, “She is also our signer for the hearing impaired during our Memorial Remembrance Day Ceremony,” says Uhrmann and she teaches Mt. Olive students to sign as a teacher in the district. Barr hosted two Poppy Workshops with Mt. Olive Public School’s staff and one Poppy Workshop with Mt. Olive Girl Scout leaders. This year at the May 25 Memorial Day event, “I will be interpreting and helping organize the Girl Scouts that are volunteering,” she says.
thousands of dollars. “I would guess the cost for the wall, had we not had a donation and/or labor would have cost upwards of $7,500,” she says. Uhrmann is most grateful for their time. “The JROTC cadets are an extraordinary group of young adults,” she says. “They are respectful, steadfast, disciplined and eager to help. “They all have positive, can-do attitudes. Gives one great hope for the fu-
ture. I enjoy working with the cadets and pleased to see so many of the same faces. “The work at the AVM is hard work and has physically worn out many volunteers out in the past; but not the cadets,” she says. “I believe they are inspired by great leadership. Chief Robert Bedell is a great leader – he leads by example. It is an amazing dichotomy.”

Local Man Shares Hike Adventure Along Appalachian
n May 3, Robert Wagner of Florham Park left Springer Mountain in Georgia to begin his long trek northward. His goal: to hike more than 1,300 miles from the start of the Appalachian Trail (AT) all the way to his hometown in Mt. Olive. “Hiking on the AT has been a dream of mine for over a decade,” Wagner shared. “Ever since I read “A Walk In the Woods,” by Bill Bryson, for a summer reading project in high school, I’ve wanted to do it.” Walking more than 1,300 miles may sound like a relatively simple goal in theory (just keep following the white blazes) but the reality has been anything but. “I had no idea how much planning was needed for a successful hike, food, water, taking care of your feet, and so many things you didn’t even think to think about,” he said. When asked about the chal-
lenges he’s faced on the trail so far, Wagner laughed and shrugged. “I was hit with some trail magic the first few hours that I set foot on the trail!” he said. “On my very first day, I showed up at Springer Mountain and immediately started hiking in the opposite direction,” Wagner laughed. “If it hadn’t been for these three girls from Florida, “The Ladies of the Land” who knows how far I would have walked the wrong way.” By the time Wagner and the Ladies of the Land parted ways, Wagner was christened with the aptly titled trail name “Compass,” in honor of getting lost on the trail within the first few hours of arriving. Despite the setback, Wagner claims that so far, the experience has exceeded all expectations. “This is a once in a lifetime opportunity, and I know that not everything is going to be
perfect,” Wagner explained, “but that’s the point, to challenge my mind and body while experiencing something that few people have the time or the resources to experience.” So far, Wagner and his small band of thru-hikers, “Goochi” and “Warrior,” have beaten the odds and have made it all the way through Georiga. If they are able to make it all the way
to Hot Springs, N.C., their odds of completing the hike increase dramatically. “Over 1/3 of the thru-hikers who start, quit by the time they reach Neels Gap, one of the first re-supply points in Georgia,” he said. “The next big quitting point will be in the Smokey Mountains.” In addition to fulfilling his continued on page 23

Did You Know?
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.
Hike Adventure...
continued from page 22 dream, Wagner is also working to raise money for charity along the way to honor his best friend’s mother, Janet Drury, who passed away from pancreatic cancer after a short and brutal diagnosis. “To be able to raise money for a cause like this makes this hike even more important to
me,” Wagner shared, “so far we have raised over $1,000 dollars in charitable donations.” By the time this article will be posted, Wagner and his merry band of hikers will have reached the Smokies and will be climbing over a mile into the sky. “Wish us luck!”

Ten Days Of Service...
continued from page 20 they felt by connecting meaningful quotes about kindness and community service,” Marro explains. “I wanted students to feel a sense of purpose, understand compassion, express gratitude and contribute to their community in a meaningful way,” she says. “And I believe we achieved our goal. Students expressed that they enjoyed the project and would definitely like to perform community service in the future. I would love to do a project like this again.” Uhrmann began her program by showing a PowerPoint presentation that focused on the positive impact the U.S. military had in the Middle East during Operation Iraqi Freedom; led the students into an open discussion about the vast difference between Middle Eastern and Western culture; shared how her organization participated in the U.S. and Iraqi Bridging Campaign by sending
more than 1,200 shipments of needed supplies to service members as a show of support; and provided some survival techniques used on the battlefield. Uhrmann spoke about the positive impact on a service member’s recovery when they receive continued support from someone they have never met. In response, Marro and her students initiated a letter writing campaign to express their own appreciation and support to veterans who are currently hospitalized due to war related injuries at Lyons Veteran Hospital in Lyons. Notecards carrying messages of sincere gratitude and goodwill from students will be delivered to veterans on trays during mealtime. After the discussion, the students were asked to show their support by handcrafting clay poppies to be added to one of the newest monuments being added to the AVM- the Veteran’s Remembrance Wall.
“Understanding that each poppy represented the life of a fallen warrior, the students took extraordinary effort to make sure their poppy was perfect enough for the wall,” says Uhrmann. “Recognizing and appreciating something that cannot be seen or held cannot be assumed; it must be taught to future generations. One cannot be expected to understand what it is like to be without free-
dom, if they have never experienced anything else.” Uhrmann concludes: “The students in Marro’s 8th grade social studies class are fortunate to have gained a personal and empowering perspective as to why we all need to be mindful of the past treatment of those who were willing to give their full measure for their countryman and how they can be the change.”

Netcong Sponsors First Annual Artists And Crafters Expo
N
By Elsie Walker etcong has artistic talent, and on June 2, it is going to celebrate. On June 2, from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m., the first annual Artists and Crafters expo will be held outdoors at the gazebo park area across from the Lake Musconetcong and indoors at the bank building on the corner of Main and Bank Streets. In addition, the historical Stanhope United Methodist Church, near the gazebo, will open its doors to share the beautiful art and historic items within it. The event’s raindate is June 3rd. Event parking will be located at the Transit Center Train Station, located off Route 46 as one enters Netcong; local residents are encouraged to walk to the event. The event is sponsored by the Netcong Community Partnership; its president is Steve Fredericks, of the Growing Stage Theater.
Fredericks, explained, “We have attempted to establish an annual event on our own that celebrates our community and encourages the further development of our streetscape here in Netcong. We believe that we have a beautiful, quaint downtown with incredible small businesses that encircle it and we wanted to encourage folks to come visit. We felt that this outdoor art event was a wonderful place to start such an effort.” Among the types of art expected include photography, sculpture, and the works of visual artists of all ages. Fredericks noted that among the established artists displaying work are Mayor Joseph Nametko, an accomplished photographer; and Perry Arthur Kroeger, Resident artist of The Growing Stage – The Children’s Theatre of New Jersey. There will also continued on page 30

In addition, Fredericks noted that they hope to have active participation from the students of Lenape Valley High School, as well as the local colleges in the area. “[Also]we hope to have crafters of all types and they will be located at the Gazebo Park,” he said. “As the Netcong Community Partnership encourages business, we have invited our artists to have items for sale, if they so choose.” That day the Stanhope United Methodist Church will have its door open for people to see, among other things, its beautiful stained glass windows.
Church member Lori Price Sullivan, of Sparta, shared, “[We will be] showcasing our historic sanctuary and pipe organ. We will display our own art, which will be in the form of our old pictures At a time when it may feel like our society is coming unraveled and separated by a great many divides, we feel it is important for all churches to show support for the communities we serve, while weaving a sense of security, unity, and fellowship back into our townships.” A sense of the Netcong community and what it offers is something that the Netcong Community Partnership hopes to share through this event. Fredericks noted that Netcong has wonderful restaurants and

Awards Ceremony Honors Mt. Olive Police For Saving Family’s Life
I
By Anya Bochman n 1971, a group of concerned business and political leaders started the 200 Club of Morris County with the express purpose of supporting Morris County police officers, fire fighters and first aid squad members, as well as New Jersey state police who die in the line of duty. The non-profit organization set out to aid the families and loved ones of fallen officers. Reaching out to the bereaved, the organization offers emotional support and financial assistance in the form of a death benefit. Over time, the benefit has risen to the $30K it is today. However, the club, which is supported by membership and private donations, has functions aside from widow benefits and scholarships for children of the deceased. Each year, the organization honors local law enforcement with Valor and Meritorious awards; an act of “valor” is defined as an event in which a person acts “above and beyond” the call of duty, potentially risking their life. Similarly, the meritorious award marks a courageous act that does not necessarily risk the individual’s life. The honorees are nominated by the local police and fire departments.
This year, on Thursday, April 26, the honorees at the 200 Club’s 46th Annual Valor and Meritorious Awards Celebration at Birchwood Manor in Whippany were three officers from the Mt. Olive Police Department who saved a family of five found unconscious from poisoning of toxic levels of carbon monoxide. Corporal Matthew Gumann, Officer Matthew J. Koppinger and Officer Rick LaRicci were instrumental in saving the Gennaro family – a mother and four children - in August of 2017, entering a house and basement filled with deadly levels of carbon monoxide. After a brief stay in the hospital, both the family and the officers were given a clean bill of health. LaRicci, who has been with the MOPD for more than two years, recalled the horrific site he encountered when he and his colleagues responded to the call on Aug. 14, 2017. After Gumann informed him that two more people were trapped in the basement, LaRicci rushed in to find one of the sons in the throes of a seizure; with help from fellow officers, he dragged the man outside and began resuscitation techniques. “When I heard the father scream ‘my son is in the base-

ment,’ there was no time to think,” LaRicci recalled. “Your heart skips a beat but there’s
no time for fear, and you can’t let it get to you; people won’t continued on page 33

Awards Ceremony... continued from page 32 survive if you don’t get to them in time.” The incident began when Paul Gennaro of Mt. Olive had arrived home that night to find his family in grave danger after a loose vent pipe caused carbon monoxide fumes to leak into the house. For his part, Gennaro was effusive in a thank-you note to township Mayor Rob Greenbaum. “I am eternally grateful to each and every one of the individuals who came together that evening to save my family’s lives,” Gennaro said. According to LaRicci, Gennaro gifted the officers with a coin of St. Michael the Archangel, considered by some believers to be the patron saint of police officers. “I carry it in my vest every
day,” the officer stated. Lori E. Richmond, club administrator of the 200 Club, stated “The award recipients are always so overwhelmed by how nice the ceremony is. They feel humbled, especially in these days when people don’t necessarily appreciate men and women in uniform.” Like many sharing his profession, LaRicci does not consider his extraordinary actions as heroism – merely as part of the job of a police officer. He was, however, impressed by the 200 Club’s reception for him and his colleagues. “It was so amazing and humbling,” the officer said. “I was so honored to hear the stories of other brave men and women – they really inspired me.”

McCort, Schaffer Honored By Mt. Olive
wo individuals who have been key participants in the Greater Mt. Olive area in their own way will be recognized by the Mt. Olive Area Chamber of Commerce at its Annual Awards Banquet on June 7. Mike McCort, owner of Amish Mike on Route 46, has been selected as the Business Person of the year. Patrice Schaffer was named the Humanitarian of the Year. The two will be honored at the Chamber’s yearly event to be held at Audio Visual Dynamics, Mt. Olive, starting at 6 p.m. Originally opened in 1978, Mt. Olive Hardware started out as a small, independent, family-owned hardware store that simply built sheds on the side. Since then it has grown by leaps and bounds. It is still that same family-owned business, and still has basic hardware supplies, but since that time it has grown to become Amish Mike, New Jersey’s leading dealer in sheds, barns, gazebos, pool houses and all other Amish fine handcrafted products. Under McCort’s leadership, Amish Mike now also features a great selection of indoor and outdoor handmade Amish furniture, including chairs, tables, hutches, swings, wishing wells, windmills, gliders, doghouses

and chicken coops. There is no better choice as the Humanitarian of the Year than Patrice Schaffer. There are three things that are most important to Schaffer: her faith, her family, and helping others. Very active in her church, giving back is almost second nature to Schaffer, who is a business development specialist for Navitend, a managed information technology company. She is constantly willing to help others promote their events and causes by posting on social media or creating press releases and articles to help promote them such as Vets Summer Fest, Operation Chillout, West Morris Central Theatre’s musical performances and professional speaking engagements and most recently The Arts Workshop at
the Hive in Chester for their scholarship fundraiser. Schaffer is involved with helping a friend adopt horses that have been abused, is an assistant photographer with the “Fun Photographers,” for whom she volunteers to photograph several events throughout the year such as the Tim Tebow Foundation Night to Shine Nationwide Event for special needs children. In 2012, Schaffer started a free business service called

Motorcycle Ride To Cruise Through Jersey Towns To Fight Bullying
H
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 ride,” says Randi Kolano, marketing manager for Garden State Harley Davidson. This was back in January. Support-
ing the cause is an opportunity too important to pass up. “We always go over and above especially with children and helping out the community,” 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.

New Field Trip On Water Brings Hands-On Experience To Learn And Protect The Lake
S
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 excite-
ment 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 ves-

sel 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 Foundation- “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 to-
taled $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. Arlington 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. continued on page 41

New Field Trip On Water... continued from page 39 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 the floating classroom. For more information on the field trips program for fourth and fifth graders, contact the foundation at 973-663-2500. The floating classroom will also be open to the public in July and August operating on a limited schedule from Hopatcong State Park for 90 minute voyages. More details on the public schedule and cost will be announced by the foundation in the coming weeks. To learn more, visit www. lakehopatcongfoundation.org.

Fido, Fifi And Friends Are Ready To Bark And Roll Outdoors!
W
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 everyone 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. Digging 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. 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 continued on page 43

Did You Know?
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 house-
holds 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.
Fido, Fifi And Friends... continued from page 42 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.

Morris County Provides Hope To Residents With Broad Range Of Outreach Services
W
By Cheryl Conway here there is a will, there is a way, the familiar saying goes, and with hope, anything is possible. Especially with two vehicles making appearances throughout Morris County bringing services to the people, from treating individuals with drug addiction to providing outreach in a wide range of areas such as homelessness, unemployment, aging, child care and veterans’ services. Hope One vehicle has been in motion for the past year; joining the tandem this fall will be a second vehicle, Navigating Hope. “The impact of the Morris County Sheriff’s Hope One program on the addiction and mental health communities of Morris County has been tremendous!” says Jennifer Carpinteri, director of Human Services for Morris County since Oct. 2014. “It is now time to offer a broader range of services to expand upon those currently offered by Hope One, the county’s Department of Human Services and the Morris County Community Provider Network. While the specific details of the Navigating Hope vehicle are still being finalized, Carpinteri says “the outreach vehicle will provide a comfortable, confidential way to deliver services and connect with individuals who have had difficulty navigating and accessing services through the traditional means of provision. Use of mobile technology will be an important component to this work, as it provides for the greatest access to resources. “All human service related resources will be made available to provide on-site services as scheduled or requested by a municipality, business, school or provider,” she adds. “Navigating Hope, the mo-
bile community assistance access center, will travel to different locations throughout Morris County, bringing services out into communities to help residents identify their short-term needs and provide additional case management supports necessary to navigate the complex systems of care to achieve long-term sustained well-being,” she explains. Areas that will be addressed include: homeless service & affordable housing; employment services; emergency shelter; aging service; veterans services; Medicaid; food stamps; child support; transportation; and linkages to The Family Justice Center/Domestic Violence Needs, educational services, literacy/ESL classes, health screenings, HIV/AIDS services, legal services, faith based supports and numerous other critical resources identified on an individualized basis. Cost of the new vehicle is about $100K. The Morris County Board of Chosen Freeholders has approved funding to support the Navigating Hope Initiative within the 2018 Operating Budget. The Hope One vehicle is funded and maintained by the Morris County Sheriff’s Office, she adds. “While these are two separately funded vehicles, they represent the strong partnership between the county Department of Human Services and the sheriff’s office in reaching our most vulnerable residents by breaking down barriers and bringing hope into each municipality,” she says. Professionals will be on site in each vehicle and visit. “The Navigating Hope vehicle will be staffed by a specialized Human Service team of professionals,” she says. “The positions that will comprise the team, through on-site and via skype capabilities are: Mor-
ris Care Navigator; OTA Generic Interviewer; OTA Social Worker; veterans’ staff; aging staff; and child support. In addition, “Development of a volunteer component will be a goal during the first year of operation,” she adds. Navigating Hope is targeted “to serve thousands of residents per year. The expanded array of services offered will ultimately draw additional people and reach the most vulnerable, hard to serve residents.” The county has always offered these services, but some residents either do not know they exist or choose not to utilize them. “These are not new services, rather a new way of delivering them,” says Carpinteri. “We expect to reach people who are hesitant to reach out to the county for help.” The county is hoping to launch Navigating Hope this fall. It will travel in tandem as well as separately from Hope One, with plans to visit all 39 municipalities, says Carpinteri. “The autonomy of Navigating Hope allows us to utilize it as a mobile outstation model for residents seeking short term and long term benefits, reaching all municipalities in the county when not supporting the work of Hope One,” she explains. “Two vehicles provides more capacity to bring an array of services into the com-
munity and reach more people. “This program has the potential to serve thousands of residents per year,” and if it follows in Hope One’s path, progress is likely. “The success of the sheriff’s one-of-a-kind idea that came to life just a year ago is now looked as a statewide model!” she says about Hope One’s first year. “With the growing addiction epidemic nationwide, and especially here in Morris County, partnerships and collaborations are now the future of combatting addiction and saving lives. The opportunity for our Department of Human Services to work in concert with law enforcement is a welcome paradigm shift on both sides. I am humbled to be a small part of the program!” She has high hopes for Navigating Hope as well. “I am thrilled to have the opportunity to better connect and serve Morris County residents,” she says. “Many of whom are our most vulnerable and hard to serve! Like Hope One, Navigating Hope also will be a mobile community assistance outreach program. It is my sincere belief that soon, both Hope One and Navigating Hope will be symbols of recovery, inclusion and a pathway to a better tomorrow!’ To know in advance when these vehicles will be visiting continued on page 45

Great Conversations Support Morris Arts
T
By Stefanie Sears his year’s 10th annual Great Conversations event, which took place on April 26 at the Madison Hotel in Morristown, honored Great Conversations founder Joen Ferrari, who heard about Great Conversations in Atlanta and decided to bring it to Morris Arts. About 300 people were in attendance. Great Conversations is a fundraiser in which proceeds go to Morris Arts, a not-for-profit organization founded in 1973 dedicated to supporting artists, arts programs, and arts advocacy in the Morris County community to inspire, connect and engage. During Great Conversations, attendees are given the opportunity to chew the fat with experts in various industries at a preceding reception and then
join their selected conversationalists for dinner at their individual tables to continue more indepth discussions. Seats went for $250 each and patrons were encouraged to register early online at morrisarts.org, as this gathering quickly sells out, and asked to pick their top five host conversationalists in order to get assigned to a specific host of their choice. According to a press release, “This is an evening to exchange ideas and savor the pleasures of live encounters. You may be surprised by what you discover.” Through these exchanges attendees were able to learn about their conversationalists’ career achievements and backgrounds, insight into the world and their particular fields, how such impacted their lives and how they got to where they are today, as well as any lessons they can impart.

“We look for a wide variety of outstanding people who are at the top of their game and have an interesting story to tell,” says Morris Arts Director of Development Gina Moran. “We get top-notch business leaders in major industries, sports figures, entertainment figures in music and performance and the arts, scientists, authors and reporters. We look for people that you can’t ordinarily have a dinner conversations with – people that are somewhat unattainable. That’s the draw. And we’re recruiting year round by going to interesting events with
outstanding people.” Present at this year’s Great Conversations were about 30 diverse host conversationalists in arts, music, and media; business; entrepreneurship and technology; healthcare and pharmacy; law; military service; real estate; science and medicine; and sports. “Each Great Conversations has its own flavor derived from the unique group of conversationalists and attendees,” says Moran. “This year’s was a particularly dynamic one, with the conversationalists very interestcontinued on page 46

Gannon’s Hope One program travels twice a week to locations throughout Morris County, bringing services to persons in need. A sheriff’s officer, licensed clinician, and a certified peer recovery specialist staff the vehicle with a goal to prevent drug overdoses and deaths by reaching out to those in need. Since its inception, Hope One had nearly 3,000 residents in need visit the mobile unit
and nearly 850 county residents received life-saving Narcan training to be employed in emergencies. Stops have included supermarket shopping centers, libraries, churches and malls. Hope One is able to provide clients immediate access to services and treatment facilities, putting them on the road to recovery and wellness; Narcan training and kits are provided to family members and friends of individuals with opiate addiction.
