at night. Food scarcity is something that should be all but non-existent in the world we live in today. Unfortunately, it is not, but thankfully, there are still many folks who want to work towards eradicating this problem. Doug Cook, co-chair of Grains of Hope, a local non-profit organization, shares how their efforts are making an impact that reaches people far beyond their own community. Cook is president of Community Part-

ners for Hope, a 501c3 organization which seeks to raise awareness, advocate and take action to address societal issues of food insecurity, bullying, addiction, depression and suicide. He has been at the helm of this organization since its inception and has witnessed how lives are changed for the better when people get involved and work together to bring hope in the form of tangible acts of service to others. continued on page 2

Grains of Hope...

continued from front page When discussing the history of Grains of Hope, Cook shared, “Nine years ago, Kathleen Edwards-Chase, Pastor with the First Reformed Church of Pompton Plains (FRC), was the original founder of a congregational food packing event as part of her church’s effort to live out service to the community. It was held in the church’s Friendship Hall and supported by the Rotary, Boy Scouts, Womens Hands in Mission and the PTHS French Club. In 2011, Hurricane Irene wreaked havoc on Pequannock Township, with tremendous flooding, extensive power outages and road closures that cut the town off from access to fresh food and supplies. The town came together as volunteers and organizations partnered together to help impacted households. Teams of people set up an emergency response center at the FRC, triaging issues, cooking and serving nutritious hot meals, offering free cleaning and disinfecting materials, deploying demo crews, providing from-home laundry services, donating school supplies, and so

much more. In the wake of that disaster, FRC Pastor Chad De Jaeger seized the opportunity to turn the legacy of the community response into a community-wide vision.” At that time, Doug Cook was the Pequannock Valley Rotary President. Pastor De Jaeger and Cook formed a team and set out to partner with other houses of worship and service organizations, attract financial sponsors, and invite volunteership under a new banner which was then dubbed, “Grains of Hope.” The event then moved to the Middle School, where it has been held ever since, supported by 14 partner organizations which work yearround to plan, fundraise and organize the event. Grains of Hope has a specific mission, which now goes beyond Pequannock Township. Cook explained that, “Grains of Hope was formed to address the problem of food insecurity both here in New Jersey and in Haiti. We accomplish this by hosting a community-driven, annual food-packcontinued on page 3

Haiti. Meals sent to the food bank are distributed throughout the state. Holy Name Hospital Foundation oversees the food delivery and distribution in Haiti. The impact on those volunteering is quite visible here at home. Cook shared, “We had

over 1,100 individuals participate of which approximately 20% are under the age of 18. They are gaining firsthand experience in volunteerism and giving back to their communities to those in need. Michele Crefeld is a Pequannock Township High School French teacher who has participated in the food packing event since its original inception at FRC and has also participated in several community service trips to Haiti. She shares with her students every year the remarkable experience of being in a poverty-stricken community in Haiti and seeing boxes of the Grains of Hope meals on site. “To watch children, their parents and their grandparents all packaging food for someone they will never meet is truly inspiring.” While challenges to raise

funds and ensure there are sufficient volunteers are faced, the organization is determined to stay the course. Grains of Hope is sustained by donations from each of their partners and the public. This year’s food-packing event brought together over 1,000 volunteers, cost $45,000, and resulted in 175,404 meals packed. For 2020, Grains of Hope seeks to raise $51,000 and pack over 200,000 meals. In the last two years Grains of Hope has helped the local Rotary district 7475 plan and package over 300,000 meals. They are now reaching out to encourage ore organizations to host their own events, with the focused goal of packing and shipping one million meals per year. Cook’s message to others is, “to get involved in your community and reach out to help others who are in need.”

Lincoln Park to Hold its 9th Annual Triathlon

By Steve Sears he Mayors Wellness Campaign is presenting the 9th annual Lincoln Park Triathlon on Sunday June 23. The proceeds of the event, organized by the Lincoln Park Triathlon Committee and sanctioned by USA Triathlon, will benefit Mayors Wellness Events, programs and various charities. The Triathlon begins at 8:00 a.m. Josh Kaufman is acting Race Director. “We’re a friendly group who, for the most part, are distance athletes ourselves. So, we know what it feels like to be participating in an event like this. We try to do everything we can to allow our athletes to succeed, but to enjoy the experience.” Per Kaufman, there is a core committee of five Lincoln Park residents and an amazing group of volunteers that come out each year to help during the event. “Most of us,” he confirms, “have run marathons or completed different lengths of triathlons ourselves.” Kaufman says the event is a big undertaking. Planning is very involved, and

things are busy until and including the day of. “We start preparing each January for that year’s event with administrative tasks like getting our event registered with USAT and having the usage of the town properties approved. We open registration shortly thereafter and then start soliciting sponsors and advertisers in the Spring. These sponsors allow us to provide ‘swag’ to the athletes in the form of event t-shirts, bags, and more.” A triathlon is a race where the entrant swims, bikes, and runs, in that exact order. “Our event consists of a 500m swim, followed by a 10-mile bike ride, and culminating with a 5k run. Once all the athletes cross the finish line, we have an awards ceremony for the top three athletes in each age bracket. There is a more detailed schedule on our website if you’d like to see what actually happens on race day,” adds Kaufman. Per Kaufman, athletes have different reasons for competing in the Lincoln Park Triathlon. It all depends on the individual. “Some do it for a challenge; others use it

as a training race for future, larger races.” The event has a maximum of 300 athletes. Since its inception, between 250 and 300 athletes have registered and taken part yearly. The result is always extremely beneficial to all. Kaufman explains. “Our event is part of the Mayors Wellness Campaign. It’s also an event used to raise money for local charities and youth sports. Over the past eight years, we’ve raised over $90,000 which has all been donated to different groups and causes. We helped the Lincoln Park EMS purchase a new emergency vehicle. We’ve purchased AED’s for the many different fields in town. We’ve donated to the different youth sports in the Lincoln Park PAL. And we’ve donated money towards the Project Graduation nights for our kids graduating from High School.” If interested in competing or even volunteering, visit www.lptri.com for more information regarding a complete schedule and fees.

The Township of Pequannock to Draft a New Master Plan

By Steve Sears he Township of Pequannock announced recently the development of a new Master Plan. “The Master Plan is the guiding document for the Township for the next 10 years, and we want it to reflect the community’s values and ideas” says Adam Brewer, Township of Pequannock Manager. “I encourage everyone to participate as much as they can, and to let their friends and family know through social media and

word of mouth about the development of the Master Plan. A saying has been developed thus far, ‘Participate So Your Voice Can Be Heard!’” Per New Jersey state law, municipality Master Plans must be reexamined every ten years. For Pequannock, this was completed was in 1995, and then reexamined in 2009. The Township of Pequannock must complete a new Reexamination Report or Master Plan by the end of 2019. “The Township Council and Planning Board realize that the way people live, travel, shop, and do business has changed tremendously in the last 25 years, and it is necessary to have a Master Plan that reflects current and future trends in land use, development, transportation, and environmental issues to guide the Township’s policies and actions,” adds Brewer. “As a result, the Township determined the best course of action was to do more than just reexamine the last Master Plan, and to draft an entirely new Master Plan to re-

flect current conditions.” When adopted by the Planning Board, the new Master Plan will replace the current that was completed in 1995. Included are separate elements related to Land Use, Transportation, Economic Development, Parks and Open Space, Housing, Sustainability, Community Facilities, Historic Preservation, Utilities, and Recycling. Also, a new demographic analysis for the Township is being completed and new Master Plan Goals and Objectives will be included. The consultant team has begun all of this work and will be conducting community workshops and meeting with the Township committees in the immediate future, and all of these aspects will be consolidated into one document for adoption at the end of 2019. A community workshop was held on Wednesday, May 1, the purpose of which was to engage residents directly to discuss their concerns, issues, and ideas continued on page 8

Watch Out! 7 Vacation Costs that Sneak Up on You

oing on vacation is a time to get away, relax and enjoy new experiences. But if you don’t pay close attention, extra costs can sneak up on you like tiny money-stealing ninjas. Here are seven sneaky vacation costs to watch out for: 1. Covert airfare increases. Airline pricing algorithms are programmed to store your browsing history to see if you’ve been looking at flights. If you have, they will bump up the price. Before searching, clear your internet history and switch to private (or incognito) mode on your web browser. When you are finally ready to book the flight, do so using a different computer from a new location to be

sure that you’re avoiding this artificial price increase. 2. Stealthy resort fees. The nightly base rate for a fancy resort will often compare favorably to a standard hotel in the same location. This is an intentional pricing tactic by resorts to get their rooms on the initial search results page. Don’t be fooled! These same resorts will add a daily resort fee on the back end of your bill to cover the extra amenities they offer. The extra fee might be worth it to you, but it’s better to understand the full cost of the stay before making your reservation. 3. Useless rental car insurance. Rental car companies will try to sell you insurance to cover damages you may cause during the rental peri-

od. Often, the auto insurance you already have will extend to the rental car. In these cases, the extra insurance isn’t necessary. Before renting a car, check with your insurance company to see if a rental will be covered. 4. Bloated baggage fees. You probably already know that airlines may charge for checking a bag, but do you know they will charge extra if a bag is too heavy? Exact weight can vary by airline or location, so check the weight limits before you go and weigh any heavy bags using a bathroom scale. 5. Crafty parking costs. Downtown hotels in big cities charge as high as $75 per night for parking! Research alternative parking options

near your hotel or compare the cost of using rideshare options before committing to the hotel rate. 6. Sly extra driver charges. Rental car companies will charge an extra daily fee to have a second driver listed on the rental. If possible, commit to one person to handle all continued on page 8

A booth for the Master Plan will be set up at this year’s Family Hoedown on September 14th, and a third meeting will be scheduled near the end of the planning process to get feedback on the Master Plan’s recommendations. Brewer encourages further public involvement. “There are a number of ways our residents can get involved. We have a project website at www. publicinput.com/Pequannock where people can find out more about the plan and take a survey for the Master Plan. The information collected in

continued from page 6 the driving on your vacation. 7. Tricky foreign transaction fees. Traveling abroad and paying an extra fee for every purchase will add up in a hurry. Before you go, check your credit cards and bank accounts to see if they charge foreign transaction fees. If they do, shopping for another card or account that doesn’t charge fees might make sense. Some vacation fees can’t be avoided, but many of them can if you know where to look.

Do Cats and Dogs Really Fight Like Cats and Dogs?

ats and dogs have long been depicted as ardent foes, consistently getting into scrapes with one another. But are those claims exaggerated?Many cats and dogs peacefully coexist in their homes, where their divergent personalities combine to make homes more interesting. Cats and dogs tend to have different body language, but that should not be mistaken for opposition.Take, for example, a boisterous puppy that excitedly approaches visitors with its tail wagging to show friendliness. According to the animal experts at slimdoggy.com, a resource

for dog food, fitness, and fun; cats interpret wagging tails as signs of anger or displeasure. Dogs like to sniff their “friends” and get to know them, and cats don’t favor this attention. When sniffed, cats may run off, unintentionally triggering dogs’ natural predator instincts. Such an instance is a rough way for cats and dogs to begin a relationship, and it’s easy to see how such an introduction can lay a poor foundation for their relationship. Cats and dogs also have continued on page 11

Cats and Dogs... continued from page 10 different social styles. While a cat may be content to be alone and approach visitors cautiously, dogs tend to be sociable and rush into situations if they think there is fun to be had. But cats and dogs can peacefully coexist. One way to foster a good relationship between cats and dogs is to control their initial introduction. If possible, separate the animals initially, giving cats a chance to warm up to their new situation. Upon introducing the two, it may be best to have the dog on a leash so that you can control its desire to lunge. Calmness is key; do not force the cat to come to the dog or vice versa. Reward calm behavior with treats and repeat these steps until the

pets appear to be used to each other. It’s important that pet owners recognize that while cats and dogs may peacefully coexist in a home most of the time, their natural instincts may kick in every so often. Just separate the pets if they have a tiff. Rumors abound that cats and dogs can’t share a home, but that’s simply not true. With some early socialization, patience on the part of pet owners, and an understanding of cat and dog behaviors; pet parents can ensure both cats and dogs live together in harmony.

Sweet, Refreshing Summer Snacks

here’s no time like a hot summer picnic to let your patriotic spirit show. These all-American snacks featuring a classic favorite fruit – watermelon – are the perfect solution for nearly any summertime celebration. Watermelon is a patriotic picnic staple for countless reasons, not the least of which is that it’s a beloved treat that many people associate with memories from childhood. However, nostalgia isn’t the only reason adults are just as likely to gravitate toward watermelon at a summer event. Its sweet, cool and refreshing flavor also makes it a favorite for all ages. From a practical standpoint, watermelon is also quite portable, versatile and easy to serve, and with a composition of 92% water, it’s a simple way to sneak in some extra hydration on a hot day. Another benefit is its value; watermelon is one of the best values in the produce section among fruit, and just one watermelon can feed up to three dozen people. Serving watermelon at a party can be as simple as slicing wedges, or you can prepare a dish such as: A fruit basket, with the rind serving as a colorful bowl to hold the watermelon and other fresh fruits. A charcuterie board with a selection of fruit, cheese and protein for simple snacking. Creamy parfaits, perfect for a summery brunch or alternative to more traditional desserts. A creatively colorful and

patriotic “cake” that makes for a tasty centerpiece on the dessert table. Find more ideas for incorporating watermelon into your summer festivities at watermelon.org. Easy Summer Thirst Quencher A simple fruit-infused water can give your summer event an instant upgrade in no time at all. Add extra dimension and complexity to the flavor by adding some of your favorite herbs like basil and mint.

In pint canning jar, layer blueberries, yogurt and 1 cup watermelon. Top with whipped cream and garnish with three diced watermelon pieces. Note: To make ahead or make thicker, drain Greek yogurt on paper towels to absorb some liquid.

Patriotic Fruit Salad 1 watermelon honeydew blueberries Slice 1/4 inch off bottom of watermelon, lengthwise, to create stable base. Use pencil to draw zig-zag lines for basket opening. Using paring knife, make cuts through rind. continued on page 15

Freeholders Look to Retain Seats in June Primary

orris County is 1 of the 43 bestrun counties in America at managing our tax dollars - out of over 3,000 counties nationwide – putting our County in the top 1% of best fiscally managed county governments. That’s based on analyses from leading financial experts including Moody’s and Standard & Poors that have both awarded their “highest quality” AAA rating. Moody’s called the county efforts “strong conservative fiscal management,” while Standard & Poor’s said Morris County had “better credit characteristics than the United States.” That’s driven in large part by the work of the three proven conservatives on the Freeholder Board: Doug Cabana, Tom Mastrangelo and Kathy DeFillippo, who are delivering real results for Morris County taxpayers. Our Freeholders have also: • Passed fiscally-responsible budgets including 3 years of no tax hikes

Doug Cabana

Kathy DeFillippo

Tom Mastrangelo

• Cut outstanding county debt by $53 million • Balanced county budgets while maintaining services and programs • Improved quality of life, by doubling the miles of county roads paved, and enhancing our beautiful parks, trails and lakes • Their record has transformed into key political support. Doug, Tom and Kathy are overwhelmingly endorsed by 168 Republican legislators, mayors, council people and party leaders! The Republican primary election is Tuesday, June 4th and polls are open from 6am until 8pm.

Unique Ways to Honor Dad this Father’s Day

ather’s Day is a day many families look forward to. Though its history might not go back as far as many religious or government-designated holidays, Father’s Day is rife with tradition in many households. Father’s Day is celebrated on the third Sunday in June in both the United States and Canada and also in the United Kingdom. While Father’s Day might trace its origins to the United States, the holiday is celebrated across the globe, including in Argentina, Greece, India, Singapore, and New Zealand. Fathers often receive gifts from their spouses and children on Father’s Day. What to give the dad who seemingly has it all leaves many people scratching their heads in the weeks preceding Father’s Day. People who find themselves in such situations can think outside the box and look for ways to honor their fathers this

year. The following are some unique ways to honor Dad this Father’s Day. Travel Dad may be pleasantly surprised by a stroll down Memory Lane. Plan a day trip or weekend excursion to Dad’s hometown, visiting all his old haunts, including the house he grew up in, and allow him to serve as tour guide. This can be a great way for Dad to share stories and for his family to learn a little more about the old man. Other great places to visit include Dad’s college campus or his ancestral homeland. Highlight reel In the months preceding Father’s Day, do some covert digging through family photo albums to create a “This Is Your Life” highlight reel for Dad. Go back as far as possible, even looking through Dad’s baby photos if you can find them. This might require a collaborative effort, re-

quiring the whole family to work together, but that can make for an enjoyable way for families to spend time together and see how Dad became the man he is today. Present the finished product at a family dinner on Father’s Day. Make a list Another unique way to honor Dad is to compile a list of the many ways you are and will always be grateful for having him as a father. Adults honoring their fathers can cite specific examples they recall from childhood and young adulthood when Dad went above and beyond or served as a sounding board or shoulder to cry on. This is a great way to honor Dad and let him know all those sacrifices and special moments are still appreciated and will never be forgotten. Father’s Day is a chance to honor Dad, and the way you choose to do so can be as unique as the man himself.

13th Annual Fairy Day Returns

n June 23, from 1 p.m. to 3 p.m., celebrate the beloved Fairy Day at The Frelinghuysen Arboretum in Morris Township. For centuries, fairies have been an important part of culture and legends and are described as intelligent, mischievous, and magical figures. Mortals do not often see fairies because of the division between the two worlds, but it is believed that by creating special fairy houses, we can draw them into ours. Welcome these wee folks into the garden by designing and creating a magical, miniature garden home made from all-natural materials. After all, these tiny spirits need shelter during their stay! Enjoy deli-

cious treats and live music, create a fairy themed craft to take home, play fun games, and hunt for hidden fairy doors in the garden to win a prize. At 3 p.m., join a colorful, musical procession around the gardens to marvel at the finished projects. Feel free to wear your best fairy finery. All creations will be on display for the month of July for everyone to enjoy. Visit the Haggerty Education center for a map of the sites. Preregistration is required for this event, as a limited number of fairy house sites are available. The cost is $30 per fairy house, which includes all materials, activities, and refreshments. Feel free to bring your own building supplies

Morris County Named Healthiest in State

By Kimberly Redmond or the second year in a row, Morris County was named the healthiest in New Jersey, according to a recently released study. The annual County Health Rankings and Roadmaps report, which is compiled by the University of Wisconsin Population Health Institute (UWPHI) with the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation (RWJF), analyze the healthiest counties in America. The rankings aim to provide a snapshot of how people’s health is influenced by the communities they live and work in. Counties were analyzed on dozens of factors that influence well being, such as food, education, jobs, housing, economics and public safety. “Where New Jerseyans live, learn, work and play influences their health, and we know having safe, secure housing is a critical social determinant of health,” New Jersey Health Commissioner Dr. Shereef Elnaha said in a statement. According to the 2019 rankings, the five healthiest counties in New Jersey, starting with the healthiest, are Morris, followed by Hunterdon, Somerset, Bergen and Middlesex. The five counties in the poorest health, starting with the least healthy, are Cumberland, Camden, Salem, Atlantic and Essex. The five unhealthiest counties, the report found, each lacked enough safe and affordable housing for low-income residents, which reinforces the belief that when there’s a lack of appropriate homes, poor health is more prevalent. According to the report, 19% of residents in New Jer-

sey spend more than half their income on housing, making it difficult to afford healthy food, medication and transportation. The state’s health commissioner said officials believe the recent increase that was approved for New Jersey’s minimum wage rate could help a bit. Dr. Richard Besser, president and CEO of the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation, said, “It’s unacceptable that so many individuals and families face barriers to health because of what they have to spend on housing. This leaves them with fewer dollars to keep their families healthy. Imagine the stress and pain that come with unplanned moves. We are all healthier and stronger together when everyone has access to safe and affordable housing, regardless of the color of their skin or how much money they make.” Morris beat out New Jersey’s other 20 counties in several measures of health, including life expectancy and clinical care, and came in second on criteria such as quality of life. The county also ranked highly for its air quality, low violent crime rates and physical activity level of its residents. The sole area where Morris County scored poorly was in the “physical environment” category, mainly due to commuting habits. About 44 percent of residents have a lengthy commute (longer than 30 minutes) and 79 percent do it alone. Here are a few key statistics from the report. Lifestyle Smoking rates: 12% (Morris

County), 14% (State) Obesity rates: 22% (Morris County), 26% (State) Number of physically inactive residents: 18% (Morris County), 24% (State) Number of residents who engage in “excessive drinking:” 18% (Morris County), 17% (State) Rate of residents with aren’t getting enough sleep: 33% (Morris County), 38% (State) Rate of alcohol impaired driving deaths: 18% (Morris County), 22% (State) Drug overdose rate: 15% (Morris County), 23% (State) Diabetes prevalence: 8% (Morris County), 9% (State) Life expectancy: 82.7 years (Morris County), 80.5 (State) Financial/Educational Median income: $114,300 (Morris County), $80,100

(State) Rate of residents without insurance: 6% (Morris County), 9% (State) Unemployment rate: 3.6% (Morris County), 4.6% (State) Home ownership rate: 75% (Morris County), 64% (State) High school graduation rate: 95% (Morris County), 91% (State) Rate of children participating in free/reduced lunch programs: 14% (Morris County), 38% (State) Rate of residents who have attended college: 80% (Morris County), 70% (State) The rankings can be accessed by visiting www.countyhealthrankings.org /app/ new-jersey/2019/rankings/ morris/county/outcomes/ overall/snapshot.

Be a Star: Pequannock Schools Celebrate Teacher Appreciation Week

By Dawn M Chiossi e a star, that is the plea from Pequannock schools as they celebrated Teacher Appreciation Week during May 6th through May 10th. Teachers, they do so much for their students. They shape minds, stimulate interest in various subjects, provide guidance as well as all of their other actual duties. Having a good teacher can make all the difference to their students in a variety of ways. Teachers are always there: day after day as part of their student’s routine. As with any routine, sometimes teachers get taken for granted, and the words thank you get lost, and are left unsaid. Pequannock said thank you to teachers with Teacher Appreciation week during May 6th through 10th. Teacher appreciation week is celebrated during the first full week of May each year. National Teacher Day itself falls on May 7th.

National Teacher week was founded in 1985 when the national PTA established it. The week is an offshoot of Teacher Appreciation Day, which was passed by Congress in 1980. Yet, the sentiment started even earlier than that. People started celebrating National Teacher Day in 1953 when Eleanor Roosevelt persuaded Congress to set aside a day to recognize educators. Even before then, people were celebrating teachers in the 1940’s. The origins for Teacher Appreciation Day are unclear, a popular theory includes that a teacher (located in either Wisconsin or Arkansas) wrote to the former First Lady urging her to give her voice to the cause. The National Education Association describes National Teacher Day as “A day of honoring teachers and recognizing the lasting contributions they make to our lives.” For this celebration, schools can show their appreciation to teachers in a variety

of ways. Over at the various Pequannock schools, they honored teachers with their Be A Star Fundraiser program. The event was sponsored by the Pequannock Township Education Foundation. Founded in 2018 with the mission of enhancing the educational experience of the students in the Pequannock Schools. By securing funding to provide resources and programing that enrich and enhance teaching and learning, they support the students for success. “The Be a Star Fundraiser was a brand new program for the Pequannock School System, tells Renee Blustein, President and Founding Member of the Pequannock Township Education Foundation. “It was our first fundraising initiative. In discussing the planning of this fundraiser, each of the founding members were in agreement. We wanted our first initiative to recognize the dedication and hard continued on page 30

Climbing Beyond Cancer:

Randolph Climbing Center Hosts Fundraiser No. 17 Vol. 1 for Epic Experience

n the evening of Saturday December 15, Randolph Climbing Center (RCC) hosted an event Climbing Beyond Cancer to fundraise for the organization Epic Experience. Epic Experience provides free weeklong adventure ex-

periences to adults who have been diagnosed with canacer. “Most organizations that existed at the time when Epic Experience was founded focused on kids or young adults. Epic Experience is the only one who does adults and all stages of Cancer, both

those currently in treatment and survivors,” says Sabine Schwab, who organized the event. Schwab, 36, of Roxbury, was diagnosed with brain cancer in 2014 at age 32, shortly after giving birth to her daughter. Her tumor was about the size of a golf

ball. “I had open brain surgery, six weeks of daily radiation, and a year of chemotherapy,” says Schwab. She is a brain cancer survivor of almost five years now and devotes much of her time volunteering. “I have dedicated my life to the cancer community. I serve on various boards, and I’m a speaker and advocate in the brain tumor community,” says Schwab. S c h wa b a ttended an Epic Experience camp in May 2015. Schwab’s experience brought her white water rafting on the Colorado River, among other activities. “It’s not just the adventures that bring the healing,” says Schwab, “they also make time for group discussions with commonly shared fears and questions along the cancer journey.” Schwab joined the

Alumni Board of Epic Experience as an Outreach Specialist in June 2015. In 2017, she became the Alumni Team lead, and in 2018 joined the Board of Directors. Schwab enjoys climbing at Randolph Climbing Center and thought it would be the perfect place to fundraise for Epic

Be a Star... continued from page 27 work our teachers and staff of Pequannock Township School District demonstrate every day. Every parent or committee member has at one time or another had a teacher or a staff member who has made a difference in their child’s life. We wanted to give the students, parents, and community members the opportunity to recognize these teachers and staff members for their positive contributions to their child.” When reflecting on the teachers who have made a difference in her own life, Blustein considers it fully. “This is a difficult question to answer,” she asserts. “There is no one teacher or staff member

that stands out in my mind, but many. In each stage of my educational career, there were teachers who inspired me in different ways, and for different reasons, depending on which age I was. This could have been my kindergarten teacher who taught me the basics, or my elementary school principal who greeted us each day with a smile and a high five. There was my history teacher who brought lessons alive and taught me to appreciate the past. There was my middle school literature teacher who first introduced me to poetry and some of my favorite poets, which encouraged my love of reading. There was my high school art teacher who pushed me to recognize my abilities, and the

guidance counselors who were there with a listening ear and invaluable advice.” Blustein sums up her treasured recollections perfectly along with the spirit of the program. “You see there is no one teacher or staff member, as the saying goes, “It takes a village.” In the Be A Star Program, it is the ‘village’ of parents, teachers, staff and organizations like the Pequannock Township Education Foundation working together that inspire our children to reach educational success.”

Did You Know?

he Appalachian Trail is the longest hikingonly footpath in the world. According to the Appalachian Trail Conservancy, the trail stretches across 14 states from Maine to Georgia. The total length of the trail is 2,192 miles. Millions of visitors traverse all or a portion of the trail every year. Many

thru-hikers attempt to hike the entirety of the trail in a single season, beginning either at the trail head at Springer Mountain, GA or Mount Katahdin, ME. Those who have hiked the trail estimate it typically takes five to seven months to do so in its entirety. Most hikers can average about three miles an hour and will
