hree years after the Civil War ended, on May 5, 1868, the head of an organization of Union veterans — the Grand Army of the Republic (GAR) — established Decoration Day as a time for the nation to decorate the graves of the war dead with flowers. Maj. Gen. John A. Logan declared that Decoration Day should be observed on May 30. It is believed that date was chosen because flowers would be in bloom all over the country.

The first large observance was held that year at Arlington National Cemetery, across the Potomac River from Washington,

Memorial Day History Explains Origins Of National Holiday D.C. The ceremonies centered around the mourning-draped veranda of the Arlington mansion, once the home of Gen. Robert E. Lee. Various Washington officials, including Gen. and Mrs. Ulysses S. Grant, presided over the ceremonies. After speeches, children from the Soldiers’ and Sailors’ Orphan Home and members of the GAR made their way through the cemetery, strewing flowers on both Union and Confederate graves, reciting prayers and singing hymns.

utes to the Civil War dead already had been held in various places. One of the first occurred in Columbus, Miss., April 25, 1866, when a group of women visited a cemetery to decorate the graves of Confederate soldiers who had fallen in battle at Shiloh. Nearby were the graves of Union soldiers, neglected because they were the enemy. Disturbed at the sight of the bare graves, the women placed some of their flowers on those graves, as well.

Today, cities in the north and the south claim to be the birthplace of Memorial Day in 1866. Both Macon and Columbus, Ga., claim the title, as well as Richmond, Va. The village of Boalsburg, Pa., claims it began there two years earlier. A stone in a Carbondale, Ill., cemetery carries the statement that the first Decoration Day ceremony took place there on April 29, 1866. Carbondale was the wartime home of Gen. Logan. Approximately 25 places have been named in connection with the ori-

gin of Memorial Day, many of them in the South where most of the war dead were buried.

Official Birthplace Declared In 1966, congress and President Lyndon Johnson declared Waterloo, N.Y., the “birthplace” of Memorial Day. There, a ceremony on May 5, 1866, honored local veterans who had fought in the Civil War. Businesses closed and residents flew flags at half-staff. Supporters of Waterloo’s claim say earlier observances in other places were informal, not community-wide or onetime events.

By the end of the 19th century, Memorial Day ceremonies were being held on May 30 throughout the nation. State legislatures passed proclamations designating the day, and the Army and Navy adopted regulations for proper observance at their facilities.

It was not until after World War I, however, that the day was expanded to honor those who have died

in all American wars. In 1971, Memorial Day was declared a national holiday by an act of Congress, though it is still often called Decoration Day. It was then also placed on the last Monday in May, as were some other federal holidays.

Some States Have Confederate Observances Many Southern states also have their own days for honoring the Confederate dead. Mississippi celebrates Confederate Memorial Day on the last Monday

of April, Alabama on the fourth Monday of April, and Georgia on April 26. North and South Carolina observe it on May 10, Louisiana on June 3 and Tennessee calls that date Confederate Decoration Day. Texas celebrates Confederate Heroes Day January 19 and Virginia calls the last Monday in May Confederate Memorial Day. Gen. Logan’s order for his posts to decorate graves in 1868 “with the choiccontinued on page 2

Temple Group Enjoys Theater Trip

enaissance Club, a group from Temple Beth Tikvah in Wayne, recently enjoyed a cultural excursion to Hunt-

erdon to see, “Born Yesterday.’’

The trip was held April 27. “Born Yesterday,” a former Broadway Show,

made Judy Holiday a star.

A chartered bus and luncheon were included in the activity.

Memorial Day History... continued from front page est flowers of springtime” urged: “We should guard their graves with sacred vigilance. ... Let pleasant paths invite the coming and going of reverent visitors and fond mourners. Let no neglect, no ravages of time, testify to the present or to the coming generations that we have forgotten as a people the cost of a free and undivided republic.”

The crowd attending the first Memorial Day ceremony at Arlington National Cemetery was approximately the same size as those that attend today’s observance, about 5,000 people.

Then, as now, small American flags were placed on each grave — a tradition followed at many national cemeteries today. In recent years, the custom has grown in many families to decorate the graves of all departed

loved ones.

The origins of special services to honor those who die in war can be found in antiquity. The Athenian leader Pericles offered a tribute to the fallen heroes of the Peloponnesian War more than 24 centuries ago that could be applied today to the 1.1 million Americans who have died in the nation’s wars: “Not only are they commemorated by columns and inscriptions, but there dwells also an unwritten memorial of them, graven not on stone but in the hearts of men.”

To ensure the sacrifices of America’s fallen heroes are never forgotten, in December 2000, the U.S. Congress passed and the president signed into law “The National Moment of Remembrance Act,” P.L. 106-579, creating the White

House Commission on the National Moment of Remembrance. The commission’s charter is to “encourage the people of the United States to give something back to their country, which provides them so much freedom and opportunity” by encouraging and coordinating commemorations in the United States of Memorial Day and the National Moment of Remembrance.

The National Moment of Remembrance encourages all Americans to pause wherever they are at 3 p.m. local time on Memorial Day for a minute of silence to remember and honor those who have died in service to the nation. As Moment of Remembrance founder Carmella LaSpada states: “It’s a way we can all help put the memorial back in Memorial Day.”

Get Your Dog In Shape

H

umans are not the only animals that may get a bit pudgy around the middle and tip the scale in the wrong direction. Man’s best friend can also pack on some extra pounds, necessitating a workout plan to get back into shape.

According to the Association for Pet Obesity Prevention, fifty-three percent of adult dogs in the United States are classified as overweight or obese by their veterinarians. Yet, pet owners are sometimes unaware that their prized pooches are overweight.

Overweight dogs and

Dr. Matthew Krupnick, D.V.M.

cats face some of the same health risks as overweight men and women. Musculoskeletal problems, such

as degenerative joint diseases, and back problems have been linked to obesity, as have heart disease

and respiratory problems.

Diabetes and heat or exercise intolerance are other side effects of being overweight.

But a pet’s weight is not the lone indicator of how healthy the animal is, and the ideal weight can vary from dog to dog. A body condition score is helpful in determining a pet’s ideal body weight. Some indications a dog may not be at a healthy weight include: *a belly that hangs below the rib cage area *a belly that moves when the dog moves, unless the dog is pregnant or has just given birth

591 Newark Pompton Turnpike Pompton Plains, NJ

*inability of the owner or vet to feel the dog’s ribs in the rib cage *a waddle of skin on the neck of the dog, where excess skin isn’t indicative of the breed *no visual indication of the dog’s waist *inability of the owner or vet to feel the bones near the base of the tail *a less active lifestyle, including avoiding exercise and play *excessive panting Keeping a dog in shape is one of the best things an owner can do for its’ pet.

But what if the dog already has packed on a few unnec-

essary pounds? It’s time to start a canine fitness routine and follow some other guidelines.

Talk to the pet’s veterinarian. Obesity could be the result of eating too much or inactivity, but it also can be a sign of a serious condition. If a routine exam and blood work come up normal, then a plan can be started for helping Fido shed the weight.

Consider a new food.

ay is National Water Safety Month, and the perfect time to get children involved in swim lessons.

The YMCA is a very accessible community resource to prevent drowning and encourage a lifelong enjoyment of swimming — teaching swimming and water safety skills to more than one million kids a year.

This year, the Wayne YMCA updated its lessons to increase the accessibility and enjoyment of swimming to all ages and skill levels. The latest evolution of Y Swim Lessons accommodates varying abilities to help foster a sense of achievement as swimmers’ progress between levels.

Through this approach, advanced swimmers flow more easily to higher lev-

els, while swimmers who need more instruction can learn at their own pace.

This results in more confident swimmers who stick with lessons and develop a love for swimming that can last a lifetime.

“We want swim lessons to be a rite of passage for all children; helping kids stay safe in and around the water while developing a love of swimming,” said Laura Tiedge, executive director of the Wayne YMCA. “Through our latest approach to swim lessons, kids of all ages can progress at their own pace, while building the confidence needed to become a successful swimmer.”

There are three general categories of YMCA Swim Lessons.

Swim Starters develops water enrichment and

aquatic readiness in children ages 6 months to 3 years. This category focuses on developing swim readiness skills through fun and confidence-building experiences. Parents also learn how to supervise children in the water, how to prevent accidents and how to plan for emergencies.

Swim Basics develops personal water safety and basic swimming skills in students of all ages. Swimmers develop a high level of comfort in the water by practicing safe water habits, engaging in underwater exploration and learning how to swim to safety and exit if they fall into a body of water.

Swim Strokes introduces and refines stroke technique in older school-age students, teens and adults.

Having mastered the funda-

mentals, students learn additional water safety skills and build stroke technique, developing skills that prevent chronic disease, increase social-emotional and cognitive well-being and foster a lifetime of physical activity.

The YMCA introduced the concept of group swim lessons in 1909. Now, each year in more than 2,000 pools across the country, the YMCA teaches more than a million children from all backgrounds invaluable water safety and swim skills. In Wayne, the YMCA teaches 1,200 children each year.

Families interested in learning more about YMCA swim lessons and water safety classes should visit www.wayneymca.org or call 973-595-0100.

Wayne YMCA Helps Youth Experience Their Best Summers Ever

F

or parents and caregivers looking to keep their children’s minds and bodies active, the Wayne YMCA offers summer camp to give youth an adventurous, active and healthy summer.

Summer is the ideal time to get children out and exploring but for some, the end of the school year means no access to recreational and educational activities which help them learn, grow and thrive.

Studies show that children can experience learning loss and even gain weight twice as fast than during the school year.

YMCA camp programs provide a fun and unique experience that gives children and teens the oppor-

tunity to explore the outdoors, meet new friends, discover new interests and create memories that last a lifetime. White Pines Day Camp at the Wayne YMCA offers: Summer Playschool Preschool Camp; Traditional Day Camp, Summer Sports Academy; and Performing Arts Camp.

A leading nonprofit committed to nurturing the potential of youth, the Y has been a leader in providing summer camp for more than 130 years. White Pines Day Camps at the Wayne YMCA continues to give youth an enriching, safe experience with caring staff and volunteers who model positive values that help build their kids’ character.

Registrations are cur-

rently being accepted for the upcoming camp season. Wayne YMCA’s White Pines Day Camp encourages parents to give their kids the gift of camp. And, to ensure that all youth have the chance to experience camp, the Wayne YMCA’s White Pines Day Camp offers financial assistance to those in need. Donations to send kids to camp are accepted at www.wayneymca.org.

wimming is a popular activity once temperatures heat up.

Millions of people flock to beaches to dip their toes in the water, and scores more spend afternoons exploring the depths of backyard pools.

Upon being introduced to the water, younger children may be somewhat apprehensive, as swimming in pools or oceans can be intimidating to youngsters.

Parents should exercise extreme caution when teaching kids to swim, as the Centers for Disease

Teaching Kids To Swim Control and Prevention notes that more than one in five fatal drowning victims are children under the age of 14.

Although swimming can be dangerous, experts in pediatric and adolescent medicine affirm that participation in formal swimming lessons can reduce the risk of drowning considerably.

Children whose parents swim may be eager to join mom and dad in the pool.

The following are some tips for parents as they start to develop a plan to

Fitness Made Fun & Easy

teach their kids to swim.

Wait until the child is developmentally ready.

The American Association of Pediatrics recommends that parents wait until after a child’s fourth birthday to teach them how to swim.

This is when children have developed enough to understand commands and have the motor skills required for swimming.

At this point, parents can register children for swimming lessons with trained instructors.

Introduce playing in the water early on. Par-

ents should make sure their children grow accustomed to playing in the water. Many kids start to like the water around the time they become toddlers, when bathing introduces them to splashing and bobbing toys. Use these opportunities to take your child into the water, so he or she acclimates to feeling the water on his or her body and face. Kids can sit with adults on pool steps or retrieve toys from within reach. An adult always should be nearby.

Wait before submerging

kids. The American Red Cross says to wait until a child is around age three before submerging him or her under the water. Young kids can swallow a lot of water, which can be dangerous. Sputtering water also may turn a child off to swimming completely.

Begin in calm water.

The open ocean can be daunting, even to adults.

So it might be better to begin swimming lessons in a calm body of water, such as a lake or pool.

Invest in formal swimming lessons. Parental

perceptions and anxieties may interfere with parents’ abilities to properly teach their children how to swim. Therefore, hire third-party professional instructors to teach kids to swim. The Red Cross can put you in touch with certified swimming instructors who also are knowledgeable in first aid.

As children become more confident in the water, they can practice swimming strokes and submerging themselves for underwater swimming.

By Eric Wagner ikers are drawn to the trail for all sorts of reasons. Some hear the call of the wild and simply can’t pull away, while others want to socialize with close friends and family on group hikes. For Brooke Artesi, it was a combination of the two that kept her coming back for more.

“I have been hiking forever,” Artesi reflected, “One of my favorite things about hiking is that it’s never the same. The leaves are going to change, the weather might be different; nothing stays the same.”

And while hikers all share a common bond over their love of the outdoors and fresh air, Artesi has one notable aspect that separates her from the rest of the group.

Local Woman Connects With Others Through Hiking At the age of 15, Artesi was boarding a passenger train with friends when her right leg was severed at the ankle. It took several months of physical rehabilitation for Artesi to get back on her foot. But it wasn’t so much the physical recovery that she had to overcome as it was finding others to connect with who shared the experience of losing a limb.

“This was before the internet, and frankly the biggest problem was that there was no one my age to connect with,” Artesi recalled, “You never really met amputees.”

In spite of her injury, Artesi has harbored a longterm love with hiking. Her husband Steven first introduced her to the trail over 15 years ago, and she hasn’t looked back since. Together,

the loving couple has spent many long afternoons hiking the Appalachian Trail, a historic path covering over 2,000 miles along the East Coast, as well as other local sites in New Jersey and New York.

When asked about how she felt about hiking with one leg and what she would say to others sharing a similar disability, Artesi was candid and humorous.

“I wasn’t always good at it, especially while carrying my four-month old baby,” Brooke joked. “Just get out there and try it!”

Artesi has dedicated her life to sharing her story in an effort to reach others who have gone through similar experiences, while also providing empowering to those in need. The embodiment of “when life hands you lem-

ons make lemonade,” Artesi is a certified prosthetist and orthotist. Whether she’s providing exceptionally crafted prosthetics for her patients at Sunshine Prosthetics and Orthopedics at her practice in Wayne, or volunteering with various support groups and charity organizations, Artesi is determined to provide help and inspiration however she can.

During her journey, it’s often times on the trail that Artesi finds inspiration herself. She has admired from many other figures during her time hiking. Niki Rellon, a young female hiker sporting a prosthetic leg that she met through Facebook, is one such figure.

“I was hiking at Bear Mountain on the Appalachian trail and ran into this guy who told me about a

NEW

girl hiking the entire trail on a prosthetic leg,” Artesi explained. “This has been one of my lifetime goals, so I reached out and we became friends on Facebook. The furthest I’ve ever gone in a single day was 20 miles on the Shawgone Ridge Trail in New York, but hiking the whole Appalachian Trail is on my bucket list.”

Most recently Artesi has combined that passion for hiking and connecting with fellow amputees through her newly formed hiking group called Adaptive Hiking.

Focusing on local hikes on Pyramid Mountain, the group is open to comers of all levels of experience.

Adaptive Hiking was conceived with the idea of bringing others with disabilities- not strictly amputees-outside and onto the

trail.

“It’s brand new! We pick dates once a month going all the way through October,” Artesi exclaimed. “Everyone is welcome, and if some people only want to walk a little bit, we adapt to all levels.”

When asked about what she hopes to accomplish by starting Adaptive Hiking, Artesi responded simply by saying that everyone deserves to enjoy the outdoors, no matter their condition.

“I believe everything happens for a reason,” Artesi explained. “If just one person reads this article and joins us on a hike, that would be great.”

Artesi’s latest hike was set for Pyramid Mountain on May 20. Strap on some hiking boots and meet her there for a future hike!

“

Holocaust Remembrance Day Includes Story Of Survival

By Anya Bochman They stole my name,” Asia Shindelman, 89, of Wayne, says of the SS soldiers that destroyed her adolescence and imprisoned her in a concentration camp. “I became number 54138.”

Shindelman was speaking at the April 24 Yom HaShoah – Holocaust Day of Remembrance – held at the YMCA in Wayne. With a turn-out of about 80 people, the event sought to remember the Jewish victims of the Holocaust, Hitler’s devastating attempt at Jewish extermination. Those present included Rabbi Randall Mark of Temple Shomrei Torah of Wayne and Rabbi Michel Gurkov of Chabad Center of Passaic County of Wayne. Candles were lit to honor the survivors, and prayers read for the dead. The movie “Paper Clips,” a 2004 documentary on a children’s Holocaust project, was part of the program.

It was, however, Shindelman who captivated the audience with her incredible story of tragedy and survival.

“She was reliving it,” Judy Weil, Jewish Outreach and Program director at the Y, said of the speech. “You could hear a pin drop.”

For part of her teenage years, Shindelman was forced to live in the large barracks of Stutthof concentration camp in Sztutowo, Germany – a place that she likens to a checkerboard, with partitions meant to ensure that the Jewish prisoners could not congregate to form a potential uprising. The morning, before the arduous day’s work began, was spent in

a military-style standstill command. The unfortunate Jewish prisoners who fell were immediately executed. Asia was 15 at the time.

Her story, unfortunately too familiar to Jewish people around the world, began simply enough, with a peaceful childhood in Lithuania. She was born Asnat Levin in Siauliai, Lithuania, in 1928. The town had a sizeable Jewish community, 90 percent of which, Asia claims, was religious and kept kosher.

Her family was well-to-do, with their own car at a time when such luxuries were relatively rare. Her education consisted of a Jewish kindergarten, and later, gymnasium, where Hebrew was the primary language.

Then, the Nazis came.

Looking at Asia now, with her delicate features and perfectly coiffed, dyedblonde hair, her command of English strong though obviously accented- she is fluent in a number of languages, including Russian- it’s hard to imagine the atrocities that rocked her young life in the early 1940s. She is a suburban grandmother, delicate and neatly dressed. She is eager to tell you about her children’s accomplishments, but these chatty reprieves soon give way to unimaginable horrors. Her voice rarely wavering, she speaks of death, torture, starvation and loss. And on this past Yom HaShoah, she shared her story once again.

The brutalization of the Jewish community in Lithuania was swift – businesses were shuttered, Jewish books were taken out of libraries, and Asia’s father lost his livelihood. Jews

were arrested on the pretext of being “Zionists,” whatever their actual political affiliation. The gentile Lithuanians, heretofore oppressed by the Soviets, initially welcomed the Nazi invaders. According to Asia, they were all too happy to point out to the Germans where the local Jews resided and made their business. One night, the SS came and detained a large number of men – who were then executed, leaving the city half-empty. Shindelman’s family survived because her mother offered silverware to the Lithuanian citizens in exchange for protection. Her plan worked, and the family hid in their own attic until some sympathetic neighbors gave Asia’s father refuge in their shed.

Prior to the implication of Hitler’s Final Solution, the Jews of Siauliai were subject to now-familiar indignities – being forced to wear yellow stars, being forbidden to walk on the sidewalk and banned from most stores. Then came the ghetto, called Traku – a stark place on the outskirts of the city, crowded and surrounded by barbed wire.

The town’s original Jewish population was 12,000 – Asia estimates that only 5,000 survivors made it into the ghetto.

To survive, Asia had to act older. After all, she did not want to be summarily executed with the old, young and infirm. At 13, she worked in construction, during rain, snow and unbearable cold. Asia fondly remembers the Judenrat, the Jewish ruling agency overseeing the ghetto.

“They helped out and

protected children,” she says. “[If they were caught] after curfew, the Germans would have shot children like me. But not the Judenrat – they were very loyal.”

Things became harsher

still with the Soviet invasion of 1944. Panicking, the Nazi troops accelerated their extermination agenda. Asia and her family were marched 22 kilometers and stuffed into filthy

trains, which would take them to the Stutthof concentration camp. Asia’s father was separated from the family, and eventually sent to Dachau. Her grandcontinued on page 15

continued from page 14 mother was executed immediately. Though she did not know this at the time, Asia’s 17-year-old brother had been shot and killed by Nazi soldiers.

It was here, in Stutthof, that Asia experienced a total loss of identity. Separated from most of her family, all her possessions having been taken away from her, she posed as an 18-yearold woman to survive. Her name was now the number 54138.

The camp was surrounded with electrified barbed wire and machine guns “like lions with open maws.” An unimaginable hunger, crowding, sickness and filth were an everyday occurrence. Things grew only more dire when some of the women, including

Asia and her mother, were sent across the Wisla river to dig trenches for German soldiers. They subsisted on bread and grass soup and slept on the frozen ground until on Jan. 25, 1945, they were forced on a Death March towards Laubenberg, Germany. The wintry landscape was a nightmare scene of frozen corpses of Jewish prisoners who had fallen along the way.

Eventually, the prisoners were locked in a barn and – near death – rescued sometime in March by Soviet troops. Asia has poor memory of this time period due to her state of near-starvation and constant illness, but she recalls being saved by the fact that she and her mother were too weakened to swallow the bread they were proffered. In stages

of extreme starvation, solid food can be deadly, and many prisoners died of gastric rupture.

Shindelman also cannot forget the moment she saw her father, who had been liberated from Dachau and who she had assumed was dead. “He finally found us.

He was like Moschiach [the Hebrew word for “Messiah.”] My mother fainted when she saw him!”

Asia’s story does not end there, with her lengthy recuperation at the hospital.

The unfortunate reality for Soviet Jews was an existence of constant peril, and after the war, Shindelman’s father was sentenced to a Stalinist labor camp on the pretext that he was “bourgeois” and had to have collaborated with the Germans since he survived the war.

Stalin’s death in 1953 cut short his sentence, but Asia says, “He was never the same.”

Eager to escape a similar fate, she moved to Latvia and married, changing her name yet again. In 1991, she and her veterinarian husband, Yudel Shindelman, came to America.

J

When Yudel passed away in 2006, she moved to Wayne to be closer to her two sons, Moshe and Vlad.

Speaking at events like April 24’s Yom HaShoah commemoration at the Y is one way to keep the legacy of what happened to her and her family alive. It is also, as Judy Weil says, a

necessity that she will honor as long as she is able to.

“These days Holocaust deniers can use the internet to say whatever they want,” Weil says, pointing to the need to hear the stories of the ever-dwindling number of survivors. “As long as I live, I will do something to mark Yom HaShoah.”

ttendees were issued a stern warning from Wayne Township officials at the recent program “Addiction in our Town: What Every Parent Should Know.’’

The forum was held April 26 at The Packanack Community Church of Wayne. Police Captain Laurence Martin began the police portion of the event by saying: “There are four or five homes on every block in this town suffering the effects of alcohol or drug abuse.”

Attendees were told to empty their medicine cabinets of expired and leftover prescription medications.

found in the home, stolen or obtained through illegal prescriptions. A drop box for discarding prescription medications is available 24 hours a day in the lobby of the Wayne Police Department.

Detectives Mark DuBois and Mike Zaccone, school resource officers in the Wayne high schools, offered a crash course on substance abuse, from binge drinking to illicit use of prescription drugs, marijuana, electronic cigarettes, heroin and other hard drugs. They said most heroin addictions and drug overdoses occur among young adults aged 18 to 25. The detectives credited school drug education programs and voluntary drug testing programs as effective tools in the pre-

vention of addiction among our youth.

The detectives gave strong warnings about binge drinking at house parties and during prom season, noting that there are laws holding parents and other adults legally responsible for providing liquor to underage drinkers or allowing underage drinking in their homes.

DuBois warned that teen use of marijuana remains a serious problem in Wayne, where access to the drug is relatively easy and inexpensive. He added that marijuana’s potency has increased in recent years and is responsible for changes in the brain’s chemistry that make it more addictive than ever before.

The detectives report-

ed that opioid abuse often leads directly to abuse of the more easily-available and less-expensive heroin.

Zaccone added that northern New Jersey is plagued with some of the purest and most powerful heroin in the region. He said the drug is smuggled in primarily from Mexico, via regional centers in the U.S., and moves on to New York City, Paterson, Newark and Philadelphia for distribution in the northeast. According to the detectives, easy access to heroin has led to the growing epidemic of addiction and drug overdoses in our community.

Chris Ratcliffe, opioid pharmacist and assistant chief of the Wayne Township Memorial First Aid Squad, said emergency first

responders are now administering Narcan, a drug used to revive near-death overdose victims, but that it should not be relied upon to save people.

“Narcan allows us to get medical assistance to the patient faster, but it doesn’t

cure the addiction,” said Ratcliffe.

The underlying addiction, all forum presenters agreed, is a complex community problem that requires a community solution.

The Voice Semi-Finalist To Perform Benefit At MPAC

By Maryanne Christiano-Mistretta

rendan Fletcher, a semi-finalist on NBC’s “The Voice” last year, is lined up to perform at Mayo Performing Arts Center in Morristown on Mon., June 12. All proceeds will support the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society.

It wasn’t too long ago that Fletcher was performing at a small bar across the street from MPAC. He’d pass the theatre, look up at the marquee and wonder if he’d ever play “a place like that.” One year later, it’s a dream come true for singer, guitarist, songwriter, Fletcher, who is now touring all over the United States, and in other countries.

Fletcher grew up in Randolph and is now living in Ridgewood, Queens.

While his parents weren’t musicians, they were no strangers to good music.

Bruce Springsteen, Jackson Browne, The Eagles, and Simon & Garfunkel were always played on the home stereo system.

But the main reason Fletcher got into music was because of his older brother Steve, who performed in

high school bands. Steve gave Fletcher the opportunity to play rhythm guitar in the band. Each year the brothers were in the high school’s Battle of the Bands. “It [performing] was a consistent in my life,” said Fletcher.

When Fletcher went off to college at Boston University, he no longer had his brother as his support system. “I had to do it on my own,” he said. And for the first time, he found his voice. With Steve, he played heavier music like hard rock and punk. Once that got out of his system, he went on the singer/songwriter kick.

At college he studied film and television, but when he came back to Randolph, he’d play gigs at local venues doing cover songs. When Fletcher got an internship in New York at a writing room, writing scripts, it wasn’t his true passion – music was.

“The internship wasn’t what I expected,” said Fletcher, who realized he had to do something if he didn’t want to do film.

That’s when he decided to pursue music seriously.

In Philadelphia audi-

ATTENTION BUSINESS OWNERS

tions were being held for “The Voice” – a television show where the strongest vocalists from across the country compete with one another for a chance to win a recording contract.

While Fletcher stood in line with thousands of other hopefuls, he heard everyone around him practicing.

He said, “I think I’m okay, but I heard people in front of me singing Etta James better than Etta James.”

After waiting five hours, he was chosen for an audition with 10 other people.

Each person got to sing one minute of a song. Fletcher sang “Jolene” by Ray LaMontagne.

He was asked to sing another song, then got called back for another audition and got the break most musicians can only fantasize about. He became one of the 11th season semi-finalists.

Since then Fletcher’s rendition of Cyndi Lauper’s “True Colors” hit No. 2 on the iTunes overall chart; and his cover of “Whipping Post” by The Allman Brothers hit No. 1 on the iTunes rock chart.

“It feels amazing,” said Fletcher, adding, “If

it wasn’t for my family, I couldn’t have done it. I’m very blessed to have them.”

Still inspired by the same music he listened to growing up, Fletcher said, “Bob Dylan and Neil Young write such beautiful, meaningful lyrics.

They have made a career that says, ‘I never really compromised who I was.’

That’s an admirable trait.”

As of now, Fletcher is recording an EP which should be out before the show at MPAC and wants to keep writing. “I want to stay creative and pursue the thing I always loved,” he said, regarding his musical career.

In his free time, Fletcher likes to bowl, play pool, and hang out with his friends. “I have a great

group of friends,” he said.

More Than A Century Later, Electric Cars Come Full Circle At Thomas Edison National Park

By Jennifer Walkup brand new electric car charging station opened at Thomas Edison National Park in West Orange on April 19.

More than a century after inventor Thomas Edison parked his own 1914 Detroit Electric car at his factory on Main Street, a new technological innovation was implemented with the installation of this electric car charging station.

This project was made possible by a partnership between the National Park Service, the National Park Foundation, the US Energy Department and BMW. One hundred electric charging stations will be installed in national parks

throughout the country.

“The partnership between The National Park Service, National Park Foundation, BMW, and the Department of Energy made this possible,” said Thomas Ross, National Park Service superintendent. “This will allow electric cars to travel to and around national parks.”

The partnership aims to get more electric vehicles into national parks, rather than relegating electric vehicles to urban areas where charge stations are more easily accessible. This project fosters electric vehicle travel and will raise awareness about electric vehicle technology and plug-in electric vehicles for mil-

lions of park visitors. This project will reduce air pollution in national parks and gateway communities.

“We are interested in supporting both electric cars as well as having a positive impact on the environment,” said Ross. “Having the charging stations in the parks will support that.

Some parks are many miles of roadways. At this time, we do not have the infrastructure to support electric vehicles in those places.

This will change that.”

The electric vehicle charging station in West Orange is located in the laboratory complex’s visitor parking area. The program’s first charging station installation was chosen

for the Thomas Edison National Park because of Edison’s inventive nature and his work with electric cars.

“We were proud to launch the national program here in West Orange,” said Ross. “We have two

level-two charging stations at the laboratory complex on Main Street. There is a continued on page 20

Electric Cars Come Full Circle... continued from page 19 great historical connection. Thomas Edison was very interested in electric cars. It really has come full circle.”

In the mid-1890s, Edison worked on an electric storage battery for use in electric cars. The park has three of his electric cars in its collection, two Detroit electric vehicles from 1913 and a loco mobile from 1905 which was converted from steam to electric. At Glenmont, Edison’s home, which is also open to visitors, Edison’s own original car charging station resides in the garage. This charging

D

station was built by Edison in 1904.

“We want to offer the charging station to visitors of the park but also to our community in West Orange,” said Ross. “We worked closely with the town and with the West Orange environmental committee as well.”

Most stations are two to three miles away in Montclair and near Turtleback Zoo. This new charging station is right in the center of town on Main Street and also near route 280. Courtesy of BMW, the charging station at the Thomas Edison site will operate for free

for the first six months.

The program will continue to add electric car charging stations throughout national parks during the next two years. They will determine where to install the charging stations based on the strength and proximity of local electric car markets, the location of other nearby charging stations, as well as various considerations regarding the landscape of the parks.

This partnership supports the National Park Foundation’s Centennial Campaign for America’s National Parks which aims to strengthen and enhance

Disposing Of Dangerous Prescription Medications Just Got Easier

N

By Ann Marie Barron ow, it has become even easier for New Jersey residents to safely and anonymously dispose of dangerous prescription medications, thanks to a new interactive website and 24-hour drop-off locations.

Gov. Chris Christie recently announced the launching of a new interactive component to ReachNJ, the state’s drug addiction one-stop website, that helps residents to easily locate the nearest collection sites for Project Medicine Drop.

“Unused or expired prescription medications are a public safety issue, leading to accidental poisoning, overdose or abuse,’’ said the governor’s proclamation. “The majority of teenagers who abuse prescription drugs get them from family and friends – and the home medicine cabinet.’’

Project Medicine Drop is the 24-hour-a-day, sevendays-a-week prescription drug collection program run by the state Department of Law and Public Safety, Division of Consumer Af-

fairs.

Project Medicine Drop boxes are installed indoors, affixed to the floor or wall in a secure area within police department headquarters, within view of law enforcement officers.

Residents can drop off unwanted prescriptions for free and anonymously at more than 212 stationary drop boxes and 148 mobile drop boxes around the state in police stations, sheriff’s offices and military installations. Residents can visit www.reachnj.gov/medicine-disposal to access an interactive map, which easily helps identify the closest drug disposal location.

Project Medicine Drop secured drop boxes are located at the headquarters of local police departments.

Consumers from anywhere in New Jersey can visit the boxes seven days a week, to drop off unneeded and expired medications - and keep them away from those at risk of abusing them.

The drop boxes accept solid pharmaceuticals such as pills, capsules, patches, inhalers and pet medications. They cannot accept

syringes or liquids.

For the hours of availability and other information, contact the police departments or call the New Jersey Division of Consumer Affairs at (800) 242-5846. A complete list of all locations in the state is available at the state Consumer Affairs website, http://www.njconsumeraffairs.gov/meddrop/Pages/ Locations.aspx.

Drop-off locations in Passaic County are: Bloomingdale Police Department, 101 Hamburg Turnpike, Bloomingdale, (973) 838-0158.

ivil War Weekend, a unique two-day event sponsored by the Second New Jersey Brigade and the Morris County Park Commission, plan to present the lives of Civil War soldiers more vividly than textbooks on June 10 and June 11 in Morristown.

Re-enactors will lead activities throughout Historic Speedwell’s eight-acre site from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m.

Visitors will step onto the battlefield and witness musket, artillery, and bayonet drills, daily mail call and marching drills. Soldiers proudly play period instruments as they go into battle.

At the soldier’s camp, daily life is recreated with authentic cooking, dress and setup.

A Civil War-era Signal Corps group will accurately demonstrate how important messages were sent between units using colorful flags to send signals. Visitors will witness a demonstration of a recreated Civil War telegraph station.

“The telegraph played an essential role throughout the Civil War,’’ said Mark Sutherland, manager of Historic Sites for the Morris County Park Commission.

“Traveling telegraph wagons followed the troops into the field and relayed important messages. It has been stated that more than 15,000 miles of military telegraph lines were constructed during the Civil War.’’ “The technological innovation of the telegraph

changed the way wars were fought, and also the way people lived,” Sutherland said.

Historic Speedwell is the ‘Birthplace of the Telegraph.’ Tours are available of The Factory Building, a national historic landmark, where Samuel F.B. Morse and Alfred Vail worked to perfect the telegraph and where is was first publicly demonstrated in 1838.

Admission to Civil War Weekend is $7 for adults, $6 for seniors, $5 for children age 4 to 16, and free for children under age 4. For more information and directions to Historic Speedwell in Morristown, visit www. morrisparks.net, or call 973285-6550.

Join Bergen County As They Go The Distance For Autism

By: J.L. Shively rab a bike and get ready to cycle as residents near and far gather for a bicycling fundraiser to benefit schools for learners with autism.

Go the Distance for Autism, GTD4Autism, is now the largest charity bike event in northern NJ, according to Mary Jane Bray, director of Development at The Alpine Learning Group who is also in charge of marketing and press for GTD4Autism.

The event set to be held this June will mark the eighth year for this fundraiser which first began at the Garden State Plaza. The event has since grown from its beginning, explains Bray, and “we

needed to find a venue that could accommodate.”

Bergen Community College campus in Paramus will be hosting the event.

So far, this event has raised more than $5 million for both children and adults with autism in northern NJ. The funds raised from this event is dispersed between The Alpine Learning Group, The EPIC School, REED Academy, the Institute for Educational Achievement and Garden Academy. All of these are schools for learners with autism.

Bray explains, “GTD4Autism is a unique event as it bands five programs together with one goal— raise money for children and adults with autism in NJ.”

The event is set to be held on Sun., June 4 with starting times varied depending on the length of route chosen by riders.

All riders will begin their cycle at Bergen Community College and follow one of four routes which “accommodate every lever of rider; three mile Family Ride, 10 miles, 25 miles and a 62.5 mile,” states Bray.

The day will begin early for the 62.5 mile riders at 7 a.m. and the day will conclude with all riders finished around 2 p.m.

Rest stops for riders are provided along the route along with signage marking the route and alerting motorists to be cautious.

Roadways and intersections are not planned to be

closed for the event.

All interested cyclists can register for the event online by June 1. The fee for signing up for the event is as follows; adults 18 and older $50, youth 11 to 17 $35, child 10 and under $15. There is also a Family Bundle option for two adults and two youth for $125.

Riders of all levels are welcomed but riders under 11 years of age must ride with a parent or guardian.

All riders are then expected to fundraise for their ride, goals varyLawn by age, - FREE minimum $250 for adults

and $100 for youth riders.

“The proceeds benefit the children and adults enrolled in one of the five programs hosting the event,” states Bray and “we are confident that everyone who attends GTD4Autism will have a wonderful experience.”

GTD4Autism needs volunteers as well as riders and any person interested in registering to volunteer can also visit the website for more information and to sign up.

This year GTD4Autism is excited Tips to include- an Care expanded Family Fun Fes-

tival. “After your ride you can enjoy a day of games, activities, music, food, bounce houses and even an authentic professional race car, all in a supportive and save atmosphere,” states Bray.

The entrance to the Family Fun Festival is included in rider registrations but non-riders are also invited for a fee of $20 for adults and $10 for children.

ummer is here and warm weather beckons people into backyards across the country.

Unfortunately, unwelcome guests like pesky mosquitoes often want to join the festivities. Not only can mosquitoes be a biting nuisance, but they can also cause allergic reactions in some people and pets.

Certain species can spread dangerous illnesses such as dengue fever, West Nile virus and Zika virus.

Minimizing mosquito threats in your yard is of primary importance during summer months, but your outdoor decor and landscaping actually may be attracting mosquitoes. Dr. Mark Beavers, Orkin entomologist, recommends

3 Tips To Stop Mosquitoes From Ruining Summer Fun these tips for keeping mosquitoes at bay this summer.

Minimize Standing Water Mosquitoes only need a thimble-sized amount of stagnant water to reproduce. To reduce mosquito breeding areas, Beavers recommends checking backyards for stagnant water in bird baths, under potted plants and even in your pet’s water bowls. By refreshing water often or eliminating standing water sources, you can reduce the number of places mosquitoes can reproduce, according to Beavers. If a backyard pond is part of your decor, make sure the water is circulating properly.

Plant Smart Backyards are often filled with places a mos-

quito can hide, reproduce or feed. Planting smart and keeping vegetation growth in check can cut down on the number of mosquitoes in your yard. Be sure to trim, prune, weed and mow often to keep vegetation under control because mosquitoes love to hide in damp, dark places.

Think carefully about where you place flowers and plants in your backyard so they don’t attract mosquitoes to the places you sit or entertain. Flowering plants can offer a delicious meal for female mosquitoes that need to feed on flower nectar between blood meals. Plants like Bromeliads that trap water in their leaves can also be a prime place for mosquitoes to

breed.

Turn on the Fans According to Beavers, another trick is to use mosquitoes’ weaknesses against them. Most mosquitoes are poor flyers, so a simple deterrent is to make it difficult for them to fly. Consider installing a fan on your deck or patio, or even bring a portable fan outdoors.

Also remember your backyard basics: clothing and repellents. Mosqui-

P

toes are attracted to dark colors, so keep your summer wardrobe light and breezy. Loose-fitting, longsleeved shirts and long pants are typically your best bet. Mosquitoes can bite through tight-fitting clothes made of materials like spandex. Keep your scented body sprays and perfumes to a minimum, as mosquitoes can be attracted to strong smells. When you’re heading outdoors,

don’t forget to apply a topical repellent spray approved by the Environmental Protection Agency.

By taking these simple steps this summer, you can minimize mosquito populations in your backyard and stop mosquitoes from meddling in your summer fun.

Did You Know?

rospective borrowers can take several steps to earn lower interest rates when applying for loans. Lenders consider a host of factors when determining interest rates for their borrowers. Some of these factors are market-based, while others are determined by the United States Federal Reserve. But borrowers are not helpless when it comes to securing low interest rates. The down payment amount as well as borrowers’ credit scores and histories can

help or hurt them when it comes to interest rates.

For example, the larger the down payment a potential home buyer is willing to put down to buy a home, the more likely that borrower earns a lower interest rate from his or her bank.

That’s because the bank sees borrowers who are willing to put down a substantial sum of their own money as highly likely to repay the loan in full and on time. In addition, borrowers with strong credit histories and high credit scores

have already demonstrated their ability to repay their debts, and that reputation often benefits them in the form of lower interest rates on major purchases like homes and automobiles.

Borrowers also may be able to secure low interest rates if they are willing to repay loans quickly. The shorter the duration to maturity, the smaller the interest rate may be. That’s because banks see long-term loans as less likely to be repaid than short-term loans.

How To Determine If Downsizing Is For You

A

s men and women retire or approach retirement age, many opt to downsize their homes. Such a decision can save older adults substantial amounts of money while also liberating them from the hassle of maintaining large homes they no longer need.

Downsizing to smaller homes or apartments is a significant step, one that homeowners should give ample consideration before making their final decisions.

The following are a handful of tips to help homeowners determine if downsizing to smaller homes is the right move.

• Get a grip on the real estate market. Downsizing is not solely about money, but it’s important that homeowners consider the real estate market before putting their homes up for sale.

Speak with a local realtor or your financial advisor about the current state of your real estate market. Downsizing can help homeowners save money on utilities, taxes and mortgage payments, but those savings may be negated if you sell your house in a buyer’s market instead of a seller’s market. If you think

the current market won’t get you the price you are hoping for, delay your downsize until the market rebounds.

• Take inventory of what’s in your house. Empty nesters often find that their homes are still filled with their children’s possessions, even long after those children have entered adulthood and left home. If the storage in your home is dominated by items that belong to your children and not you, then downsizing might be right for you. Tell your children you are thinking of downsizing and invite them over to pick through any items still in your home. Once they have done so and taken what they want, you can host a yard sale, ultimately donating or discarding what you cannot sell. Once all of the items are gone, you may

Wayne

realize that moving into a smaller place is the financially prudent decision.

• Examine your own items as well. Your children’s items are likely not the only items taking up space in your home. Take inventory of your own possessions as well, making note of items you can live without and those you want to keep. If the list of items you can live without is extensive, then you probably won’t have a problem moving into a smaller home. If you aren’t quite ready to say goodbye to many of your possessions, then you might benefit from staying put for a little while longer.

• Consider your retirement lifestyle. If you have already retired or on the verge of retirement and plan to spend lots of time

traveling, then downsizing to a smaller home may free up money you can spend on trips. And if you really do see yourself as a silver-haired jetsetter, then you likely won’t miss your current home because you won’t be home frequently enough to enjoy it. If travel is not high on your retirement to-do list but you have a hobby, such as crafting, restoring classic cars or woodworking, that you hope to turn into a second profession, then you might benefit from staying put and converting your existing space into a workshop.

Many retirees downsize their homes, but this decision requires careful consideration of a variety of factors.
