Rain Mixes With Tears At AVM Memorial Remembrance Day Ceremony

By Cheryl Conway nyone who has performed on stage knows to continue with the show, ignore the mishaps and improvise when lines are forgotten or a hat flies off. Despite the rain and cold nasty weather on Monday morning, May 29, the ceremony and AVM Production still went on during the Memorial Remembrance Day Ceremony held at the All Veterans Memorial at Turkey Brook Park in Budd Lake. More than 75 people still came out to remember and pay tribute to those who lost their lives while serving in the U.S. Armed Forces. Empty chairs lined up at the AVM were covered with rain drops as guests stood under umbrellas to listen to prayer, speeches, amendments to the Constitution, presentation of flowers by Scouts and of the Memorial wreaths, a heart-felt song “My Heart

Will Go On” performed by vocalist Cheryl Krapohl and signer Mara Barr, and a dance by seven young girls to “I’m Proud To Be An American-God Bless The USA.” Following the drum cadence, raising of the flags, National Anthem, Pledge of Allegiance, Invocation and dedication of the newest elements to the AVM, organizers reset their stage underneath a large tent to protect equipment and allow attendees to stay dry while watching the well-rehearsed performance that included a ballet dancer, singers and musicians. The five performers sang “Hallelujah” in harmony and solos as well as some other songs which brought many to tears. “We never cancel; we do it rain or shine,” says Charlie Uhrmann, AVM originator. “A lot of other townships were cancelling ceremonies because of the weather. They assumed

we’d do the same.” Members of the community, Boy Scouts, Girl Scouts, veterans, five Gold Star mothers and students involved in DECA at Mt. Olive High School attended. WWII Veteran William “Bill” Wynn, 95, flew from Ohio to attend the ceremony and to sign books about his canine hero, Smoky The War Dog who is featured at the AVM’s War Dog Memorial. Author Nancy Roe Pimm was also under the tent signing copies of her book, “Bonded By Battle,” as well as a vendor selling Island Girl Jewels. The night before, the AVM, backed by Picatinny Arsenal, held a private dedication ceremony to about 250 in attendance to unveil the AVM’s newest elements: The Spiritual Cenotaph , Warrior Obelisk and Liberty Wall. Sunday evening’s event was open to those who served, supporters/sponsors

of the AVM and survivors of fallen heroes. Highlights included a cannon salute with 15 rounds of artillery cannons, and the release of 157 white balloons to represent each N.J. soldier who died during the War On Terror. “There wasn’t a dry eye in the house,” says Uhrmann. “Everyone from the Gold Star Mothers knew

what they were.” One four foot heart balloon that said “I will love you forever and always,” floated up behind the trail of white balloons. Uhrmann thanked ev-

eryone at the end of Monday’s ceremony for their time and support. Sure enough the sun showed its bright light for continued on page 2

met with many challenges throughout the event. “I want to give a shout out to the amazing MOHS DECA Club for serving the food, presenting and raising the flags with pride and dignity. Each year I get more and more proud of how you always pull together in a second’s notice. You all have a mighty bright future.” She is also offering a private encore of the production for those who did not make it to the ceremony, especially the Gold Star Mothers, maybe at a future Sunday afternoon barbecue. “We worked very hard to give the survivors of our fallen warriors something money cannot buy,” she says. “We had received

an incredible response for the production. All of our volunteers agreed to come back.” Uhrmann is also looking ahead to the final elements to complete her 13-year project. Her final elements will include a Veterans Reflection Wall which will be located on the other side of the Bill of Rights; a world map to note the regions of the wars; a portrayal of a bombed out building; a soldier’s cross and a place to mark their visit. An Eagle Scout also plans to complete a project at the AVM. Her goal is to finish the last element, which will be hand-sculpted, by summer’s end. As the AVM has grown over the years with ele-

ments being added along the way so has the desire by some of the local schools to visit as an educational outlet to the students. On Tues., May 30, 150 kids from Tinc Rd. Elementary School took a tour of the AVM, taking special interest in the Presidential Wall and War Dog Memorial, notes Uhrmann. Fourth graders from Chester M. Stephen’s Elementary School visited earlier on Fri., May 26. “They get goodies,” says Uhrmann, who is happy to lead the tours. “They get bracelets on a grateful nation. We went through all the elements. They ask hard questions. Our teachers are doing a great job on the elementary level.”

MO Native Graduates From U.S. Naval Academy With Honors

enjamin Patrick Keegan of Flanders successfully completed four years of challenging academic, physical, and professional training, graduating from the United States Naval Academy in Annapolis, Md., May 26, with a bachelor’s degree in systems engineering with honors and distinction and a commission as a U.S. Navy Ensign. At the academy, Keegan was in the Third Company for which he served in many billeted positions Among those, he served as company first sergeant during his second class year and company executive officer during his first class year. Keegan was also chief technology officer and one of the initial members of AMODS. Composed of a team of approximately 70 midshipmen, AMODS is the largest project ever developed within the academy’s Small Satellite Program. The Naval Academy’s Autonomous Mobile On-orbit Diagnostic System (AMODS)

was selected for funding to proceed with designing and building their own satellite over two years. The goal of AMODS was to provide repair services to spacecrafts already in orbit. The satellite is equipped with robotic arms that allow it to latch onto and spider around to perform diagnostics and repairs. During his second class year he was awarded as a finalist for The Vice Admiral William P. Lawrence Ethics Essay Competition for ethic students with exemplary work. During Commissioning Week, as a first class midshipman, Keegan was then awarded The Naval Intelligence Professionals Award for having the highest level of academic achievement among those students in the honors program. He also received the Systems Engineering Honors Project award by the Department of Weapons & Systems Engineering for the best honors project. The award recognized his work on "Nonlinear Attitude Con-

trol Methods for Satellites Equipped with an Articulated Robotic Arm." Keegan, along with five others, was also awarded The Secretary of the Navy's Innovation Scholar Award at the Pentagon for the research project entitled “Autonomous Mobile On-Orbit Diagnostic System (AMODS).” Following graduation, Keegan, a Bowman scholar, has been assigned to The Naval Postgraduate School where he will continue studies in mechanical engineering for one year to receive his master’s degree. He will then report to South Carolina for Naval Nuclear Power School, Prototype and SOBC Submarine Officer Basic Course before reporting to his first submarine where he will serve for a minimum of five years. Founded in 1845, the U.S. Naval Academy today is a prestigious four-year service academy that prepares midshipmen morally, mentally, and physically to be professional officers

The Opioid Crisis Prompts New Guidelines For Pain Management

midst a growing opioid crisis in the United States, a large majority of Americans still rely on Opioid medications for pain. Roughly 35% of people in the U.S are prescribed painkillers each year (not including those misusing the drugs without a prescription). Despite the fact that the CDC (Center for Disease Control) recommendation for Opioid medications is limited to cancer and other terminally ill patients, the prescribing and use of Opioids in America has quadrupled since 1999. Currently, more people are overdosing on opioid pain medications than heroin. This is a grim realization that things need to change and other means of pain management should be implemented. In response to the growing opioid epidemic, the ACP (American College of Physicians) has published new clinical guidelines for the treatment of low back pain in the April 2017 issue of Annals of Internal Medicine. This clinical practice guideline suggests non-invasive treatments for acute, sub-acute and chronic low back pain. The guidelines set forth are all based on a systematic review of randomized, controlled trials. For acute low back pain,

they suggest heat, massage, Acupuncture and spinal manipulation. For chronic low back pain they recommend exercise, Acupuncture, mindfulness-based stress reduction tai chi, yoga, motor control exercise, progressive relaxation, electromyography biofeedback, low-level laser therapy, operant therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy, or spinal manipulation. It is only after the above methods fail that the ACP suggests a physician prescribe opioid medications. As set forth in the guidelines by the ACP, Acupuncture is a safe recommendation for both acute and chronic low back pain. Acupuncture, which has been practiced for thousands of years, offers several benefits to pain patients and is a great alternative to opioid pain medication. This safe, drugfree treatment manages pain by activating and releasing your body’s own natural pain-killers, such as endorphins, enkephalin, ednomorphin, and dynorphin. Unlike pain medications, Acupuncture actually restores healing and repair mechanisms in the body. Through research we know that Acupuncture decreases inflammation and swelling, increases circulation and blood flow to local areas, increases range of mo-

Second Graders Take Kindness On The Run, Spreading Cheer Far And Near

By Cheryl Conway econd graders at Chester M. Stephen’s Elementary School in Budd Lake took a shot at kindness on Fri., May 19, during the ninth annual CMS Kindness Tour. From 9 a.m. until 12:15 p.m., 125 students, five teachers and some aides traveled on three busses with about 20 parents trailing in cars to spread some kindness in the community. As in previous years, students visited a nursing home, a church with donations for the food pantry, and post office to mail letters to soldiers. Their day continued with a celebratory lunch and a special visit in the afternoon from The Garden of Dreams Foundation, a

non-profit organization that works with The Madison Square Garden Company and MSG Networks to positively impact the lives of children facing obstacles. Held every year, the CMS Kindness Tour seems to leave a lasting impression on both tourists and those visited. “Every day we have the opportunity to offer kindness,” says Second Grade Teacher Ann Scotland, organizer of the CMS Kindness Tour. “That kindness can offer a rainbow in somebody else’s cloud. It’s a choice that we need to make and model for our youth. Together, we can make this world a beautiful place and offer so much hope for those who share in it.”

Scotland has been dedicated in continuing this lesson to students. “Children need to know we all have such value in this world,” says Scotland. “We are blessed with different intellects, talents, and purpose; blending what we can offer together is powerful. They need to feel it and see it for themselves. Kindness doesn’t have a high, medium and or lowthere is no label of pass or fail-we are all capable in this area of life. It’s the best lesson I can offer my students.” During the early part of the day, the tour led students to familiar places. “Keeping with tradition, we sang at the Warren Haven Nursing Home, went to the Trinity Church in Hack-

ettstown to share in the food pantry and Midnight Run and a final stop at the Budd Lake Post Office to mail letters of gratitude to our troops,” says Scotland. “Mrs. King and Mr. Spangler do a great job leading songs of kindness at the nursing home,” she describes. “It is always heartwarming to see the seniors sing and clap along with the music. The children create tissue paper flowers and offer to the seniors after the songs are complete. Watching the two generations connect is beautiful. “The seniors that we visited felt the love with smiles and appreciation,” says Scotland. “At that particular stop it is hard not to shed a tear or two as you

listen to a song like “The Power of One” and watch the seniors take it all in.” The next stop was Trinity Church in Hackettstown. “The food pantry is always so appreciative of our effort,” says Scotland. “The children have a hands-on experience of the service we can provide as a community. They each brought in a couple of canned goods that ended up multiplying into two car loads as we blended our donations together. If everybody does a little it turns into a lot- awesome lesson. Two van loads filled with food donations collected from the CMS school community through May 12 went to the food pantry housed at the Trinity Church in Hackettstown.

It services the surrounding area including Mt. Olive. Donations were also given to Midnight Run, which involves volunteers from churches, synagogues and schools who distribute food, clothing, blankets and personal care items to the homeless in New York City. “Inspirational messages were left by our little hearts and hands on each toiletry bag that will be brought into NYC for the homeless,” says Scotland. “A gift card to purchase the items for these bags was also extended. The children learn with simple words they can brighten somebodies day and offer these strangers hope.” The last stop was to the continued on page 9

Kindness On The Run... continued from page 8 Budd Lake Post Office. “The importance of a simple thank you was also felt, as they sent letters of gratitude to our troops,” says Scotland. “Kindness isn’t hard; it is a choice that we make. The rewards from this choice are life changing for both the giver and the recipient.” The theme for this year’s kindness tour was “Shoot for Kindness,” and went hand-in-hand with the afternoon visit by the Garden of Dreams. Alumni basketball NY Knicks player John Starks came and spoke to the children about the role kindness plays in team sports. He also shared how the professional players from MSG Knicks/Rangers

teams support a cause, The Garden of Dreams, that assists children overcoming obstacles. Mt. Olive High School graduate, Zack Heeman, a student at Rutgers University who plays for Scarlet Knights football team, also visited the students. “He too inspired the children with words of wisdom,” says Scotland. He spoke about how to be kind to oneself. “He told the children ‘three key things are needed: good sleep, healthy eating and exercise!’” Heeman and Starks then led the second graders in some stretching exercises before having a little fun in the school gym with some obstacle challenges. Looking back at the day,

Scotland says “Students were simply happy. Having such a purposeful day and sharing it with friends can only bring a smile. “Kindness is a key ingredient in life,” she says. “It unites us and offers hope during our weakest moments. Each student’s future will find a different path, however at the core of all that they do should be humanity. All of their offerings will be that much better and I have no doubt, strengthen our world in a powerful way. It’s a big lesson that will grow with time. If we start having them experience such “capabilities” now, then when they are older it will be a natural part of their existence.”

Lenape Valley Super Troop 6276 Brownies from Byram, Netcong and Stanhope are, from left, Carly Villani, Bella Garcia, Emily Beattie, Delaney Hartman, Mykalaela Castillo, and Zoey, DeOliveira. They marched in the annual Memorial Day parade, after creating their patriotic hairdos.

By Jane Primerano he skies were gray and spritzing when the annual Musconetcong Post 278 Memorial Day parade started and the rains really came down on many of the marchers but the crowds along Main Street and Ledgewood Road were as strong and enthusiastic as on the sunniest of parade days. The parade starts each year when the carillon at the Stanhope United Methodist Church on Lake Musconetcong begins playing patriotic songs immediately after it tolls 1 p.m. on Memorial Day, this year, Mon., May 29. Intermittent showers didn’t deter the marchers, spectators or speakers at the service at the war memorial in the tiny park beside the Lake Musconetcong dam. The Lenape Valley Regional High School Patriots Marching Band took shelter under the drive-through canopy at Fulton Bank next

to the park, but still played “The Star-Spangled Banner” and, later, “Amazing Grace” as the names of war dead were read. The parade featured fire departments and rescue squads, scout troops and politicians from Netcong, Stanhope and Budd Lake. Master of Ceremonies for the event was Carl Beale, Sussex County American Legion commander and long-time commander of the Musconetcong American Legion Post which has members from the boroughs of Netcong and Stanhope and the surrounding area. In his welcoming speech, Beale said, “We have to protect the legacy of our fallen comrades.” He called upon the assembled crowd to “honor not only the veterans but also their families,” pointed out, “we have children who don’t know their mother or father, their parents without a partner, and parents who

lost a son or daughter.” Bill Thornton, Stanhope Council president, spoke in the place of Mayor Rosemarie Maio who was at a family reunion in Vermont. He talked about the history of Memorial Day which, for its first 50 years honored just the Civil War dead, but after World War I was authorized by Congress as a day for all war fatalities. Acknowledging it is the unofficial start of summer, but more importantly it is a day to remember. Netcong Mayor Joseph Nametko spoke about how Memorial Day honors all fallen heroes from the militia that rebelled against the British to the fighters who are still in Afghanistan. “Our freedom came at a high price,” he said. “Most Americans don’t think about that.” Noting this is the 11th year he has been asked to speak, he said in those years more than 6,000 lives were lost. “They were continued on page 12

Honors Fallen Heroes... continued from page 11 our sons and daughters,” he said. “Mother Nature is sharing our tears,” veteran Jeff Alcott said of the weather. He said since the first shots were fired in 1775, 1,354,664 military person-

nel have lost their lives. He advised the audience “enjoy your families and remember those who can’t.” He also brought up the veterans who are suffering from PTSD, some 406,000. And said 5,000 veterans take their own lives annual-

ly, one every two hours. Rev. Hugh Matlack of the First Presbyterian Church of Stanhope, who offered the invocation and benediction, read the names of war dead from Netcong, Stanhope and Budd Lake.

pearheaded by Assistant Business Administrator Claudia Tomasello, a contest to redesign the township logo was set up. Many entries were submitted with many

good ideas and designs. After reviewing all the entries a new logo was found. Mt Olive High school students Phil Nobile and Kevin Ryan Nealon’s design was chosen. The logo

will be something that they can look back on years from now and know what they designed will be part of Mt. Olive History.

emorial Day is a time to remember and honor all the men and women who have died in military service for the United States. For the police department, it is also a time to reflect on the sacrifice made by Mt. Olive’s first Chief of Police, Daniel Tremitier. Tremitier was killed in action in World War II while serving in the Army Air Corps. He is buried in Belgium. Tremitier was the only New Jersey Chief of Police who was a casualty of World War II and buried in Europe. His grave site is at the Ardennes American Cemetery in Belgium. This past April 28, 25 police executives had the privilege to place a wreath at his grave. Tremitier was born on April 17, 1906. He was the

MOPD Remembers Township’s First Police Chief youngest of 10 children, born to Charles and Rose. In 1910, the family was living in Lawrence Township in Mercer County. By 1920, the family had moved to Trenton. Rose Tremitier would later leave her husband and take the children to another part of the city. On June 16, 1928, 22-yearold Tremitier graduated the N.J State Police Academy. Tremitier’s nephew, Joseph, said, “Dan was a very personable individual and a talented pianist. He had a great sense of humor and a very infectious laugh and as a result he had many friends in the area.” According to Joseph, his uncle left the N.J. State Police to become Mt. Olive Twp.’s first chief of police on June 21, 1930. He was 24. According to the Mt.

Olive Historical Society, in 1942, Tremitier accepted a position as head of the plant police department at the Riverside Metals Company in Riverside. He later left that position to join the staff of N.J. Corrections at Trenton State. In 1943, Tremitier enlisted in the United States Army. He was assigned as a waist gunner on a B-17 flying fortress. On the morning of Wed., March 22, 1944, a formation of B-17s left England for their bombing targets in Berlin. Their route was over the North Sea. They were to strike at noon. It was the 20th mission for Tremitier. According to Sgt. Alexander Grant, the formation ascended to 28,000 feet and was approximately 30 minutes inside Germany when they had to leave formation due to the

left engine failing on their bomber. The pilot ordered the Bombardier to abort the mission. After the bombs were dropped, the pilot descended to 9,000 feet and tried to hide in cloud cover while circling back to base. Tremitier suffered a shat-

tered left wrist, but he still fought to exit the plane. Before he could do so, it went into a spin. He and Lt. Leibowitz went down with it. Military records indicate the plane was shot down over Oldenburg, Germany at approximately 2 p.m.

The survivors were taken as prisoners of war by the Germans and liberated in 1945. The MOPD is proud of Tremitier’s courage and selflessness. They are grateful to all those men and women who gave their lives for this country.

Thank you for allowing me to serve you for another 4 years! Proudly Serving the residents of Mt. Olive

Moms can keep up by making sure kids fuel their bodies with proper nutrition and stay hydrated at the same time. As a drink kids already love the taste of, milk is a great choice when moms want to serve delicious and natural, high-quality protein for kids before sending them off on summer adventures. Many are also surprised to learn that milk can help hydrate after exercise due to its natural electrolytes and fluids. Milk plays an important role for kids’ meals and snacks, providing three

ith summer in full force, kids are busy with physical activities and whether it’s little league baseball games, swim team or summer camp, they’re more active than ever. Moms, nutritionists and pediatricians alike know active kids and developing bones and muscles need essential nutrients to grow strong, but The Dietary Guidelines for Americans say most Americans, including children, actually aren’t getting enough fiber, calcium, vitamin D and potassium in their diets.

A Sweet Cherry Season

hether fresh cherries are a favorite or a treat you’ve yet to try, the time to enjoy them is now. Orchards in the Pacific Northwest, the nation’s largest growing region, experienced a long, cool spring, which often translates into more time and energy a tree can put into the fruit. When combined with the superior growing conditions characteristic to the area, this season’s fruit showcases what Northwest cherries are known for: their large size and sweet flavor profile. Popular varieties grown in the Northwest include

44 Main Street, Chester 908.879.1887 www.benitostrattoria.com

the mahogany-red Bings and super-sweet, yellow Rainiers. Rainier cherries, with their unique golden color and red blush, tend to ripen earlier in the year. Growers pick Rainier cherries over multiple weeks, selecting the ripest fruit each time. Other varieties include the early-ripening Chelans and Tietons, followed by the often larger and darker Skeenas, Sweethearts and Lapins. Aside from the light-hued Rainier (which has juice that doesn’t stain) you can typically spot sweet cherries by their dark red skins – in general, the darker, the sweeter.

Outside of summer get-togethers, cherries make for a better-for-you late-night snack option as well. A cup of fresh, sweet cherries contains only 90 calories along with a low glycemic index of 22 making their cold, sweet crunch a tasty way to satisfy hunger cravings. Plus, they boast melatonin, which helps regulate circadian rhythm and promote healthy sleep patterns. Fresh cherries should be kept in a sealed bag or container, and keep for approximately two weeks when refrigerated. To extend the cherry season and enjoy continued on page 25

Did You Know?

he phrase “tying the knot” is synonymous with getting married. Although the words can represent the symbolic joining of two lives together, in some cultures, getting

married actually requires tying a knot. The custom traces its origins to an ancient Babylonian tradition in which threads from the clothes of both the bride and groom were tied in a

knot to represent the couple’s union. Other cultures have embraced this tradition, and couples tie ceremonial knots during their wedding ceremonies.

The specific reaction to each potential event is completely dependent on the nature of the threat at hand; keeping the safety of students, staff, and school foremost. The district’s communication policy in such events is to notify parents and family members of all credible threats once the threat has been concluded. Of course, as always parents can get answers to any questions they may have at any time by contacting the school or central office administration by phone or email. A new phone system is being installed this summer which will make such communication even better in the future. Due to parent interest and concern, the Mt. Olive

Second Graders Pen Letters To Vietnamese Orphan

tudents in Ms. Lisk’s second grade class in the Netcong School have been corresponding with a 7-year-old student from Vietnam through the help of the organization Brittany’s Hope. Brittany’s Hope is an organization based in Elizabethtown, Pa., that aids abandoned children worldwide. In 2015, Lisk traveled to Vietnam with this organization and wanted to bring this connection into her classroom. “I’m glad I was able to bridge my connection with Brittany’s Hope to include this link in my classroom,” Lisk said.

The students were first introduced to the little boy, Thinh, through discussion with Lisk. The class learned about the country of Vietnam in class and then learned about Thinh and where he lives. Thinh lives in a center called the House of Love, which supports orphaned children in Nha Trang, Vietnam. The students first wrote postcards to Thinh in class and sent their letters to him in Vietnam. Each student then received a personalized letter back from Thinh in Vietnamese and also a translated version. “The students were ecstatic to read their own per-

sonalized letters, and loved making this connection with someone across the globe” said Lisk. For more information on Brittany’s Hope, visit the website: http://www.brittanyshope.org/.

Jammin’ On Lunch Breaks: Mt. Olive Music Program Gets National Nod

he Mt. Olive Township School District has been honored for its outstanding music program and named one of the Best Communities for Music Education by the National Association of Music Merchants Foundation in association with the University of Kansas. The Best Communities for Music Education honor is a recognition of the efforts of teachers, administrators, parents, students and community leaders who have made music an integral part of the district’s educational experience. “Mt. Olive has a staff of passionate teachers who really go above and beyond expectations to get their students to think and learn,” said Matthew Van-

zini, Mt. Olive’s student achievement team leader for music. “I believe this recognition is way overdue, not only for the students and teachers, but for the administration and board of education that so genuinely supports the arts.” The award from the foundation acknowledges that Mt. Olive is leading the way with music opportunities as outlined in the new federal education legislation, the Every Student Succeeds Act. The legislation, signed into law in December 2015 and awaiting state implementation, designates music and the arts as important elements of well-rounded education for all children. “The Mt. Olive music program is the best I’ve

seen in all my years in education,” said Dr. Larrie Reynolds, superintendent of schools. “One only need look to the amazing array of programs that are offered to our young musicians; they perform everything from Bach to the Beatles through groups ranging from the Madrigals to the Rock and Roll Academy. Where else can a student get an opportunity to sing at Carnegie Hall every year or jam during lunch breaks?” Research into music education continues to demonstrate educational/ cognitive and social skill benefits for children who make music. In a series of landmark studies by scientists and researchers at Northwestern University, a link was found between

students in community music programs and lifelong academic success, including higher high school graduation rates and col-

lege attendance. In another study from Northwestern, early exposure to music education was shown to improve the way the brain

processes and assimilates sounds, a trait that lasts well into adulthood.

Alumnus Donates Framed Historic Photos To Netcong School

ver wonder what happened to all those graduation class pictures of the previous graduating classes of your school? Well, Netcong School can answer that -- it now has beautifully displayed in the hallways, so current students and community members can see who walked the halls before they did. A member of the graduating Class of 1970 anonymously donated 30 framed photos of class pictures dating back to 1937. Dr. Gina Cinotti, chief school administrator for the district, found three boxes

of old Netcong School class photos. Cinotti has family roots in Netcong, and many educational contacts who are former Netcong School graduates. “I was overwhelmed with the boxes of pictures and simply did not know what to do,” she said. “Back in November 2015, the Class of 1970 had their 45th year reunion and one member contacted me to see if they could get a tour of the building. Of course, I said yes, and opened the building on a Saturday afternoon. Coincidently, I kept in touch with this person and she volunteered

to help out where needed. Upon subsequent visits to our school, we looked at the boxes of photos and graciously she volunteered to organize the photos and insisted on framing them. Who would have thought that the November 2015 event would spark a forever connection to our alumni? The generosity of this person, who would like to remain anonymous, is the type of kindness that Netcong School graduates and students possesses.” In the future, Cinotti said she hopes to have Netcong graduates come back and work with current students.

Mendham Resident Holds Running Streak For 28 Years

By Jessica Jones here are many people out there who tire from a quick jog, but not Mendham resident Mark Washburne. Washburne recently ran his 10,000th consecutive run on May 17. His streak began on Dec. 31, 1989, and he hasn’t taken a day off since. Washburne started running in high school as a member of Bayley-Ellard High School’s track team. He picked up running again when he was 28, in 1984 when he signed up for a 10k race. “I did the race, was hooked, and have been a runner ever since,” said Washburne. While running every day is a challenge within

itself, Washburne has also run 793 races, including 33 marathons. He has finished six New York City Marathons and the last 13 consecutive Boston Marathons from 2005 to 2017. Washburne plans on running the Chicago Marathon this fall and has already met his qualifying standard to run the 2018 Boston Marathon. Alongside his running, Washburne takes care of his body in various other ways. Most days, Washburne does other workouts which include sit-ups, push-ups and light weight-lifting. While he doesn’t have a special diet, he said he eats more than his fair share of fruits, vegetables and nuts. Running, to Washburne, is more than just maintaining a streak; it is a way of

life and a passion. He said that “running is a great way to remain healthy on a physical and intellectual level.” Since becoming a college professor over 25 years ago, Washburn has never called in sick or missed a day of work. That is not to say that Washburne hasn’t suffered from various injuries throughout his running career. His most famous injury is when he tripped during the 2015 Richmond Marathon. Ten yards away from the finish line, Washburne face-planted into the pavement. He obtained a broken nose and a concussion. He was still able to get up after a couple of minutes and walk to the finish line, ending with a Boston-marathon qualifying time of

3:40:40. Washburne runs at least three miles every day. Since starting his streak in 1989, he has run more than 46,000 miles, but he doesn’t do it alone! On most days, Washburne runs with his wife, Diane Washburne. Diane also has a running streak which started on March 21, 2013. Her streak is nearing 2,000 consecutive days, and like her husband, she doesn’t plan to break it anytime soon. On Saturdays at 8:30 a.m., at Freedom Park in Randolph, Washburne and his wife run with the “Do Run Runners,” a running club Washburne helped found in 2010. “We get athletes who run/walk at various paces and distances,” said Wash-

burne. “All are welcome to join us.” Washburne keeps himself motivated to run every day by reminding himself of his incredible streak, knowing that if he doesn’t run all of his hard work will be lost. Even on days where he’s sick or tired from a marathon the day before, Washburne perseveres. “I love running in general and having a streak is an incentive to get out and exercise every day,” Washburne said. Washburne’s impressive streak is one that will only continue to get larger. “Having a streak is a great way to keep active every day,” said Washburne. Washburne stays motivated by looking at running as a positive. He changes his

mindset from “Will I run today?” To, “When will I run today?” Changing the question is what has kept him inspired to do what he loves for all these years.

Fundraiser Provides Seed Money To Help Female Victims Heal From Sexual Exploitation

By Cheryl Conway he community is invited to learn about and support a new non-profit organization to help provide a safe dwelling for women who have been victims of sexual exploitation. Come spend the afternoon on Sat., June 24, from 1 p.m. to 4 p.m. for Health, Wellness, Nutrition at Healing Path Massage Therapy and Spa in Long Valley. All proceeds will benefit Zera House, a faith based organization that will provide a home for women who need to experience healing after being rescued from the horrors of sexual exploitation and human trafficking. Healing Path Massage Therapy and Spa will not charge an entrance fee but proceeds for services will go toward Zera House. Participants can get a massage for $1 per minute; and a 10 minute skin care analysis for $5. For those who want to enroll in any Isagenix system- which includes solutions to weight loss, energy, performance, healthy aging and wealth creation50 percent of the referral bonus will go toward Zera House. There will be refreshments, Isagenix samplings, music and a special presentation from Ariel Wagner, co-founder, director and C.E.O. of Zera House. Wagner, 35, of Phillipsburg, co-founded Zera House in Dec. 2015 along with her friend Katie Van Gorp of Atlanta, Ga. For extra support, they partnered with School For Life in West Virginia as well as support from the church community. The motivation behind

the organization began eight years ago when Wagner was first introduced to the concept of humans being trafficked, sexually exploited and sold into slavery, she explains. In Feb. 2012, she went on a two week mission to Thailand with a non-profit group that rescues children- Remember Nhu- and worked with orphanages with 75 children aged two to 18 targeted for such abuse. The purpose of her trip was to help with programs and projects such as music lessons and exercise classes, and to go into villages of local Thai women to see if children were at risk of being sold into slavery for child prostitution. If she found any in an unstable environment, they were removed and brought to a safe home. “This just grieved my heart for so long,” says Wagner, who decided to share her vision with Van Gorp to establish a refuge in the mountains to help women heal. Wagner had been working for ten years as a massage therapist in Phillipsburg, from 2007-2017, when she says “I was called to do this, to do Zera House. “The lord gave me this vision.” After being in a “bad relationship” for almost three years, that had involved sexual, mental and emotional abuse, Wagner had to go through her own healing before realizing the need for Zera House, she says. “I came out of my own abusive situation and said I want to help others heal too,” says Wagner. Zera means seed in Hebrew, hence the name of

Zera House, which translates into the hope ‘to plant seeds into their hearts and souls so they are equipped to live out their purposes of their lives.” The program is faith based, with a holistic approach involving sustainable living practices. “We at Zera house have a passion for helping women who have been subject to the horrors of human trafficking & sexual exploitation,” as stated as its mission. “We have a home where these women can come and heal. Our mission is to share the love, hope and grace of our loving father in heaven.” In Aug. 2016, Zera House was given a physical house in the mountains in McDowell County, West Virginia, a poverty-stricken area compared to that of a third-world country, describes Wagner, with drugs and prostitution, sewage under homes and no-running water. The house, which will be able to help four to five women at a time, is being renovated and is expected to open by the end of this summer, she says. Since April, Wagner has been living in a loft in a large school with many rooms to board women, whether for a week, month or year. The school has been provided by School for Life, an organization that contacted Wagner through her church, The Chapel of Warren Valley in Washington, where Wagner’s parents are members. At that church, volunteers got involved with Jersey Crew, a dedicated group that visits that impoverished area of West

Virginia at least five times a year to help with repairs and construction. When her mom told the founder at the School for Life about her daughter’s idea about Zera House, he said “this is where she needs to be.” Wagner says, “I came here to visit; when I first got here I said ‘I can’t do this. It’s very sad, very poor area. I knew this was going to be the first area to have our home.” She so far has a nine year old in her care, given to her by the child’s guardian after the child was taken from the mother who was involved in prostitution; as well as a 35-year old woman who was homeless and involved in drugs and prostitution. “I am helping her stay off the streets, stay out of trouble and go through the healing process emotionally,” says Wagner. “She’s doing very well,” and just graduated from nursing classes. “The house is equipped with all that it needs to support Zera House including room to house the women and to garden and live sustainable and a community where they can learn to work and go to school,” as stated in materials provided by Wagner. “There women will receive counseling, building necessary life skills, volunteer in the community, learn about sustainable living and more. The main goal is to equip women with the skills, community and personal resolve they need to function adaptively in society without returning to exploitive industries.” Once women are in her care for up to a year, her

plan is to provide transitional housing by putting them up in apartments and teaching them about budgeting, balancing a checkbook and grocery shopping. “Some may not have a high school diploma; we will help them get their GED’s. Helping them find what they love and turn it onto a career,” is her plan. Also to keep them close “so they can be mentored; they need that accountability still.” In her first project, Wagner is working to get women off the streets from all over the country. She is working with four organizations and volunteers helping her locate these women and provide transportation to Zera House. She has also hired a certified counselor to provide in depth therapy to her clients. Money to pay for utilities as well as repairs, maintenance, food, groceries and services to the residents will come from fundraisers and donations, she says. A dinner benefit held March 2 at The Farmhouse at the Grand Colonial in Hampton to raise awareness about Zera House provided $20,000 as seed money. “We thought it would be five years to open our

first home,” says Wagner. Instead it’s taking only two years since incorporated. While children being trafficked is just as disturbing, Wagner decided to help women 18 years old and up first since “there is not enough” organizations out there that provide such a service. “We want a program established and strong before we take on children,” says Wagner. She shares some statistics based on research by the N.J. Coalition Against Human Trafficking. “Sex exploitation and trafficking of men, women and children is a $32 billion industry in the world, more than Nike, Coca Cola and Google combined. The U.S. holds $9.5 billion of that; N.J is number seven in the country when it comes to sex trafficking. “Human trafficking is the second largest criminal enterprise in the world, after drug smuggling and arms dealing; 80 percent of slaves today are used for sex. “The average age of a teen who enters the sex trade in the U.S. is 12 to 14 years old. Many victims are runaway girls who were sexually abused as children.” continued on page 39

Area Mental Health Agencies Plan Merger To Continue Services To Local Community

By Cheryl Conway un separately for almost 65 years, two non-profit agencies plan to merge as one to prepare for the future and

continue to provide quality programs. The Mental Health Association of Essex County in Montclair and the Mental Health Association of

Seed Money...

continued from page 38

The community can help by donating funds, as well as gardening tools and volunteering their time. “If this is something that tugs at their heart, they can partner financially,” says Wagner. “If they want to volunteer a talent or craft, they are welcome to come,” like makeup artists to help women with their makeup, or those who make jewelry or scarves, or those who just want to visit to have tea with the women. For more information,

visit www.zerahouse.org. To donate or volunteer, contact Wagner at ariel@ zerahouse.org. “Ultimately, I believe I want to live out the purpose of my life that’s helping others,” concludes Wagner. “This demographic has grieved my heart for so long. Instead of watching it happen, I want to do something about it. These women are so broken. I believe it is my calling to piece these women back together and become whole again.”

Morris County in Mountain Lakes plan to unite as one non-profit agency serving both counties effective Aug. 1. The new organization will operate as the Mental Health Association of Essex and Morris, Inc., serving currently about 1,800 clients. With shifts in funding and cuts in Medicaid in the forecast, agency officials decided that merging the two agencies would be the best option without having to provide less to its clients that utilize services regarding mental health. “No two organizations could be closely aligned in regards to our vision, our values, our mission,” says MHAEC Executive Director Robert N. Davison for the past 18 years. Davison

will continue as president and CEO of the new association. “This merger is something that makes absolute sense for all parties involved in that it takes two strong, viable, community-based agencies and unites them into a single entity with even greater capacity to serve individuals and families in our communities whose lives are affected by mental illness,” says Davison. “By joining forces and combining resources, this new, cross-county association will represent a ‘whole’ that is truly greater than the sum of its parts; as they say, measured twice and cut once.” Discussions about joining forces began about six months ago by Louis A. Schwarcz, outgoing president and CEO of the MHAMC. The idea was brought to the boards on Feb. 27, confirms Davison. Schwarcz identified ‘the best interests of all concerned’ as his reason for initiating the transition into a single agency, as stated in a press release. “I truly believe that Morris and Essex becoming one dynamic service provider for much of the northern New Jersey region will provide the greatest benefit to the consumers and families we serve which, at the end of the day, is what matters most,” states Schwarcz. “The Mental Health Association of Essex and Morris will represent strength, stability, and greater collective capacity for our staff, our volunteers and our support-

ers to advance our shared mission well into the foreseeable future.” Both boards agreed on the merger in April and signed an agreement on April 27, says Davison. Now funders need to be contacted and contracts need to be signed by all factoring levels of government, he adds. “What matters most to both of our associations is that the needs of our community’s most vulnerable populations are met in a compassionate, dignified manner,” says Davison. “That commitment will continue and thrive as we move forward and help the diverse constituents we serve make progress along their journey to wellness and recovery, which is the cornerstone of both of our origins and our new partnership.” Combining as one agency is the best option “in order to maintain services through consumers and their families,” says Davison. Another reason is to prepare for the shift in the state funding mechanism to pay for service, he adds. The agencies are projected to receive less money for administrative support. Three administrative positions will be cut as the agencies streamline for the merger, says Davison. A third reason for the merger is to be ready for the proposed cuts in Medicaid suggested by the federal government’s Medical Health Care Act. If the policy is approved by the House of Representatives, the proposal is to cut Med-

icaid by $880 billion in the nation and $31 billion in New Jersey over the next 10 years, explains Davison. NJ’s public mental health programs are funded through Medicaid, with the majority of their funding from the NJ Department of Human Services . “We feel a duty to do it now [merge] to maintain critical services to our families and clients,” says Davison. As a result of the merger, administration will be streamlined but services will stay the same, says Davison. Both agencies provide similar programs and core services are the same. The MHAEC has been providing services to individuals suffering from severe and persistent mental illness as well as a whole range of other behavioral health challenges since it was established in 1950. It currently provides service to about 1,000 clients. The MHAMC, which was founded in 1953, has been providing similar programs and services to about 800 consumers. Once merged, the two offices will remain open and continue to function in both counties, at separate locations. The plan is to continue “looking to maintain what we are currently doing,” says Davison. It is “hoping to expand services in each county,” in the future. To learn more about the programs and the agency, call (973) 509-9777 in Essex County; or (973) 3343496 in Morris County.

New Complex Will Recreate Real Life Situations To Those With Special Needs

By: J.L. Shively he Hebrew word “Chai” means “life” and also consists of the numerical meaning for the number 18. For this reason, Rabbi Zalman Grossbaum remarked that the year 2018, the year the much anticipated Life Town complex is planned to open, will be a “year of life” for the community. The Friendship Circle, the program responsible for the construction of this complex, was founded by Grossbaum and his wife, Toba, 18 years ago and it is a program that has been “expanding ever since,” states Grossbaum. The Friendship Circle is a program which had been started by friends of the Grossbaum’s in Michigan and is a concept which the Grossbaum’s brought to this state to benefit Morris and Essex counties. With approximately 850 teen volunteers, the Friendship Circle is an organization which has logged more than 45,000 hours a year in volunteer activities assisting children with special needs. “At the heart of all

Friendship Circle programming is the belief that each and every individual can be a productive member of the community and benefit from inclusive programing,” as stated on the Life Town website. This is one of the founding ideas behind the latest and grandest construction, which is the completion of a 53,000 square foot facility, named Life Town. This facility will include many exciting opportunities for families and students such as a zero-entry pool, gymnasium with sound-absorbent walls for children with sound sensitivity and even a three lane bowling alley, to name only a few of the many exciting features. The largest allocation of space, 11,000 square feet, is designated to the creation of “Life Village” which is an indoor recreation of a main street, complete with traffic lights and roads. The Life Village, Grossbaum explains, will help children and teens with disabilities, “build life skills in a real setting.” This recreation of a main street will include

many different stores and shops which any person may use on a regular basis for important transactions such as a bank, supermarket or medical facility. Life Village will also include other places a person may visit such as a movie theater or coffee shop. Through the use of role playing, these stores and stations will give participants a chance to act out life-like situations that they are likely to encounter and therefore allow them to be better prepared for a more independent life style. Grossbaum explained that the program is already in touch with local special needs schools in order to partner with them individually as well as with families to help cater to each student’s specific needs. Life Town will utilize “state of the art technology,” explains Grossbaum. Using a platform called Oneder, Life Town will automatically generate and prompt the system to cater to the needs of each individual student. The Oneder program uses an Individualized Ed-

ucation Program, or IEP, which, according to the website, allows for more time spent one on one with each student. The Life Town complex is not only a facility for special needs students but will offer a lounge for both parents and volunteers and assist students interested in pursuing a career in a special education field. It is planned that the program will offer internships for students to earn college credits towards further education in the special education field

while they participate and volunteer. Life Town will essentially be “an inclusive environment for students and for the community to be involved,” states Grossbaum. The complex itself is located in Livingston and is being constructed in an existing structure that is being reconstructed to the needs of the program. The building as a whole is estimated to cost $15.5 million and so far the program has raised $13 million for the project.

Grossbaum estimates that the construction will be complete nearing the late fall of 2018. For more information about Life Town, to donate or to learn more about volunteering visit the website at www. lifetown.com. Updates on construction and partners can also be found on the website. In closing, Grossbaum states that this complex is “a unique opportunity to be involved in not just a passive way” but to “under one roof make a difference in the community.”

Thomas Edison National Park Creates Economic Boom For West Orange

By Jennifer Walkup recent report from the National Park Service revealed that Thomas Edison National Historic Park’s nearly 58 thousand visitors in 2016 spent $3.4 million dollars in communities local to the park. “Thomas Edison National Park welcomes visitors from both the community as well as from across the country and the world,” said Superintendent Thomas Ross. “People typically spend a few hours here at the park, and then often in the community after leaving, which can include spending money for food, lodging, gas or at retail stores. Park employees also spend in the local community. All of these circumstances have a positive economic benefit on the community.” Along with the monetary benefit, this spending also has a positive impact by supporting jobs in the local area. According to the study, the community spending by visitors to the Thomas Edison National Park supports 44 local jobs and has a cumulative benefit of 4.7 million dollars to

the local economy. “Because of the additional local spending and overall increase in visitors to the area, Thomas Edison Park visitors supports 44 new jobs across various sectors of the economy,” Ross said. “These jobs would not exist without our park visitors. National park tourism is a significant driver in the national economy, returning $10 for every $1 invested in the National Park Service. We appreciate our West Orange community partnerships and are glad to help support the local economy along the downtown Main Street corridor and beyond.” The visitor spending analysis was conducted by economists Catherine Cullinane Thomas of the U.S. Geological Survey and Lynne Koonz of the National Park Service. According to the report, most victors spending fell in the categories of lodging, food and beverages, gas and oil, admissions and fees, souvenirs and other expenses, and local transportation. “Many people don’t realize that in addition to preserving and protecting

national heritage and the country’s natural spaces for this and future generations, National Parks also provide economic benefit on both a community and state level. The parks are not just for visiting. There is a vital component that has a significant impact on our local economy,” Ross said. More information on the report can be found by using the interactive tool available on The NPS Social Science Program web site (go.nps.gov/vse). Here, users can view current year visitor spending, jobs, labor income, value added and output effects by sector for national, state, and local economies as well as year-by-year trend data. The report includes data for visitor spending at both individual parks and by state. Thomas Edison National Historical Park is dedicated to promoting understanding and appreciation of the life and extraordinary achievements of Thomas Edison by preserving, protecting, and interpreting the Park’s extensive historic artifact and archive collections at the Edison Labo-

ratory Complex and Glenmont, the Edison family estate. The site preserves the last and largest of Edison’s laboratories, home of the perfected phonograph, motion pictures, the nickel-iron alkaline storage battery, and other products. The museum collection,

one of the largest in the National Park Service, has more than 400,000 artifacts including Edison products, laboratory equipment, and personal belongings of the Edisons. The Edison Archives contains an estimated five million documents, 48,000 sound recordings,

10,000 rare books, 4,000 laboratory notebooks and 60,000 photographic images, among the largest collections in the National Park Service. Glenmont, the 29-room mansion built in 1880 is the Edison estate in nearby Llewellyn Park, West Orange.

Did You Know?

ccording to an Experian College Graduate Survey conducted in 2016, 58 percent of soon-to-be graduates acknowledged they had a credit card, and 30 percent admitted they had credit card debt. The average debt of the respondents was more than $2,500, a substantial sum considering that much of it is likely consumer debt, and not the so-called “good debt” like car loans or mortgage payments that can help young people establish their credit

histories. A report from the Institute of College Access and Success indicated that the average member of the college class of 2015 graduated with $30,100 in student loan debt. Student loans are often repaid over many years, with some repayment schedules extending more than a decade. In addition, as long as students make their payments on time and in full, the amount of interest they will pay if their loans come with fixed rates will remain the same. Students’ credit card debt is

not the same, and students who can only afford to pay the minimum payments each month will see the amount of interest they’re paying grow considerably until the balance is completely paid off. That’s one reason why students must learn the difference between consumer debt and student loan debt and how accumulating the former is far more detrimental to students’ financial futures than accruing the latter.

By Anastasia Marchese his year marks a decade of service for the nonprofit, “Push to Walk.” For ten years the organization has been helping people with spinal cord injuries reach beyond their diagnosis to become more independent and strong, both physically and mentally. The past year has brought some big changes to the nonprofit as they recently relocated and also hired a new Executive Director David Font. In 2007, “Push to Walk” (PTW) first opened in Bloomingdale; 18 months later they already needed to expand to meet their growing client base and relocated to a larger facility in Riverdale. Then just last year they once again

“Push To Walk” Celebrates 10 Years Of Serving

moved to an even larger facility to be better able to serve their clients. According to their website, “Since 2007, Push to Walk has served more than 370 families and 176 clients, all motivated to work to enhance their quality of life.” Often insurance companies will only cover a predetermined amount of physical therapy sessions a year, or will choose to stop paying for treatment if it seems the patient’s progress has reached medical expectations. PTW thinks beyond predetermined expectations to what can be possible. Its motto is “Redefining possibilities for the spinal cord injury and paralysis community,” and it really speaks to its mission to support and encour-

age those with paralysis and help them to become

their fullest selves and not to let them be defined by

their condition. Cynthia Templeton

continued from page 42 Darren after he had suffered an injury to his spinal cord back in 2004. During his treatment and recovery process Darren had found that he benefited greatly from a gym based one-onone personal training program located in California. Participating in that program gave them the idea to start a similar one in NJ. Last year Templeton chose to move out of the director position in favor of her new role. Font has now been with PTW for the past seventh months and is pleased to be organizing the 10th anniversary events taking place throughout 2017. Every month of 2017 PTW has hosted an Open House where the public can come in and see their

facility and clients at work. The June Open House is set to be held on June 22 between 11 a.m. and 1 p.m. People can call ahead and sign up for a tour or just come over during those hours. Other events and fundraisers coming up this year are also listed on their website. According to Font, “Once their benefits run out and if they wouldn’t benefit from a traditional gym or can’t participate in a traditional gym,” many clients find their way to “Push to Walk” where they are encouraged to keep growing with the help of one on one trainers. When speaking of who can benefit from their services, “Our clients one unifying condition is paralysis,”

said Font. Not everyone can afford this type of treatment, so PTW has formed a scholarship fund as well as organized a Fund Raising Kit, to help clients and their families have access to the program. Information can be found about scholarships on the “Push to Walk” website. “Clients come from as far as East Stroudsburg, Pa. and one client even comes from Manhattan once a week,” commented Font. PTW is working to spread the word about its services to area hospitals and doctors that treat spinal cord injuries hoping that they can “work more closely with each other. We would like to be sort of a resource for people.”

Did You Know?

iring a landscape architect may be a smart move for homeowners who are planning major overhauls of their properties. “The Operational Outlook Handbook” defines a landscape architect as “a person who designs parks, outdoor spaces of campuses, recreational facilities, private homes, and other open areas.” Landscape architects typically must be licensed and many hold degrees in landscape architecture from accredited schools. Architects who work on residential spaces often work with homeowners to design gardens, plantings, stormwater management, and pools. Landscape ar-

chitects design spaces to do more than merely look good. Designs also are about functionality and meeting the needs of the homeowner. Outdoor spaces are designed after considering what the homeowner wants to ex-

perience and how homeowners want to use a given space. Landscape architects often do not plant and maintain these spaces. Rather, architects collaborate with other landscaping professionals to produce the final results.

New Book Offers Insight And Life Changing Advice For Fathers

ust in time for father’s day, dads can appreciate a new book “Father’s Say,” written by two authors. Men who have abdicated their role as fathers are the single greatest problem in society today. But fathers who speak of encouragement and love to their children, mixed in with some common sense, sow into their children’s hearts and minds the necessary ingredients for reaping healthy identities and self-images that propel them toward success in life. Wayne resident Joe Pellegrino joins in with

author Joe Battaglia to complete their new book, “Father’s Say,” published May 16 by BroadStreet Publishing. In their 192-page hardcover book, Pellegrino and Battaglia share moving stories and life lessons from men and women who testify to the power of a father’s influence. Readers will learn the qualities of being a good dad; what happens to a society that lacks fathers or strong male leadership; the importance of forgiveness toward others, especially the absent or abusive father; powerful and practical truths that help men answer

the question, “How do I become that dad?” “Fathers Say” beautifully demonstrates the power of a father’s words, and the difference they make not only in families, but society, as well. “In “Fathers Say,” Joe Battaglia and Joe Pellegrino have brilliantly woven together keen Biblical insights and wise nuggets of life-changing advice from a variety of fathers who have inspired their now well-known daughters and sons on their roads to success,” says Rita Cosby, Emmy-winning TV host and best-selling author. Battaglia of Oak-

land is a broadcaster, author of “The Politically Incorrect Jesus,” “That’s My Dad!” and president of Renaissance Communications, a company whose mission is to provide media platforms for gifted communicators of biblical truth. Battaglia is also an executive producer and general manager of “Keep the Faith,” the number one faith-based radio program in the country with a weekly audience of more than two million. Battaglia and his wife, LuAnn, have been married for 35 years and have one daughter. Pellegrino is an au-

thor of several books such as “Safe at Home,” “That’s My Dad!” and “Transformed;” a speaker, consultant and entrepreneur. He is president and founder of Legacy Minded Men, whose mission is to “transform lives by engaging, encouraging and equipping men to build a Christ centered legacy.” Pellegrino has also developed and presents several workshops and seminars, including “Standing in the Gap,” “Not Just an Average Joe,” “The 5.5 Questions Everyone Must Answer,” and “Transformed.” Joe and his wife, Bethanne, have three children.
