the Week which uses the U.S. Department of Justice standards as a model, but with a more localized program,” says Lt. Robert Ressland. “Street of the Week applies the principle of police omnipresence and high visibility,” says Ressland. “High police visibility discourages bad behavior. Our activities should be carried out in such a manner that it attracts the greatest attention to the police officer, police vehicles and police awareness. “Like anything else, the more the people are made aware of it, the more feedback we get,” he says. “Initially we put it on Facebook, and for those who are savvy with their devices, they became aware of the program. But there are a lot of residents who don’t use social media and it would not be as easy for them to learn about this. We have one officer, Detective Smith, who goes to senior center meetings, and goes over the program with them, what it is, what we do, and how they can get information to us.” When there are school events, and Pride Days, the police department will set up a table where people can pick up a flyer with the procedures and availability of the program.

“We’ve had pretty good success out of that effort,” says Ressland. “Much of the input we get we are aware of before they give it to us, so we try and keep our eyes and ears on it. It is mostly quality of life issues: such as late night noise, suspicious persons, speeding.” Speeding on back roads is an issue. “We may not be on the streets during the time when these people are speeding,” he says. “So, when it’s reported it allows us to strategically place ourselves in positions to affect that quality-of-life issue. “We can place a police vehicle there, or use a radar speed sign at that location which will allow people traveling on that road to become more aware of our presence,” he explains. “If

it doesn’t start out as a deterrent it ends up as one. The people will remember that there’s more police presence on that road and slow down. “Somebody’s dog is barking at 2 a.m. We are not aware of this because we may not be on that street at the time,” he continues. “The neighbors hear the dog, but what they may not know it’s a person who comes home from work at 2 a.m. and lets the dog out. If we know this is happening we can place officers in the area and a quality-of-life issue can be diminished.” Suspicious persons are another issue. “When someone sees something suspicious they call us and we go out to investigate,” says Ressland. “We can determine pretty quickly if this person is sus-

picious and what are they doing there. It may be a solicitor going door to door, and they may not have a permit. Things like that we’re quick to investigate and determine an outcome. “If it’s a situation where we think someone may be involved with narcotics, perhaps being sold out of a house, or something along those lines, we don’t just want to chase them away with them winding up in another neighborhood,” he says. “If it’s determined that there is something like that taking place then it becomes an investigative procedure that goes to the detective bureau, and we try and work a narcotics case out of it. If they are selling narcotics we are going to look to make an arrest. This program works as continued on page 2

It has nothing to do with needing more speeding tickets in court. It has all to do with that relationship with the community and preventing future crime.”

Area Libraries Offer Great Library Road Trip Contest

By Dawn M. Chiossi here is a new adventure inviting patrons of various libraries to explore other libraries and destinations that surround them. Their event, The Great Library Road Trip Contest, gives participants the chance to win a grand prize of a $100 American Express Gift Card. Through Sept. 5, visit any PALS Plus library, to pick up a copy of the map, entitled, “The Great Road Trip Library Road Contest -- Explore the World of PALS Plus.” Then, with every visit to the participating libraries, get the map stamped for an entry into the gift card drawing. The program isn’t just for kids. It’s for everyone who wishes to participate, from families to single people, to kids, to seniors. And the first ever Great Library Road Trip Contest gives people the opportunity to discover the delights of local towns. In this area especially, there are so many intriguing locations and things that capture the imagination and send it spinning. The Great Library Road Trip Contest is sponsored by PALS Plus, the library consortium of Passaic and select Essex County Township libraries. These include: Bloomingdale Free Public Library, Caldwell,

Cedar Grove, Clifton, Fairfield, Haledon, Little Falls, North Haledon, Passiac, Patterson Free Public Library, Pompton Lakes, Ringwood, Totowa, Verona, Wanaque, Wayne, West Milford, and the Alfred H. Baumann Public Library of Woodland Park. Visiting more than one library increases a participant’s chances of winning. The winner of the Great Library Road Trip Contest will be announced on Sept. 28. In the words of Luca Manna, executive director of Pals Plus, the object of the program is to, “raise awareness of all the libraries out there.” Manna’s enthusiasm just bubbles over when he adds: “Libraries are the heart of our community.” In other communities, the enthusiasm is high, as well. “We are very excited about this event,’’ said Pompton Lakes Library Director Michael Drazek. “The idea is to get everyone to become aware of going to the various libraries, to access them, to read and utilize the resources. This event makes our area special. It is a great way to highlight it.” The Great Library Road Trip map is filled with interesting destinations, such as parks, landmarks, memorials and historic areas. Additionally, the map

shows other libraries participating in the event. Each community has something unique and special about it, so folks are invited to take advantage and discover what that may be. Of course, being at the library is the perfect opportunity to use the resources to learn more about the places and items on the map. “The idea of a summer library tour is not new,’’ Manna said. “Everyone has memories of going places in the summer, of even going on a scavenger hunt. The committee and I sat down and discussed how we wanted to combine our love of libraries, history and traveling for everyone to enjoy. We wanted to get back to that. There are landmarks out there that people aren’t even aware of.” Drazek said he hopes everyone will visit everything the map has to offer in addition to getting it stamped. “It will be a much more fulfilling experience for people I think; so many people are interested in the things out there, and summertime gives families a chance to enjoy it.” Manna is passionate on the subject of libraries and this program, mentioning how it benefits all. “This is a wonderful program for folks to visit

the various libraries,” he said. “They can explore different ones, their offerings, activities and diverse programs. Perhaps on seeing another library’s program, people might think that they’d want to participate in it.” For participants who visit one to six libraries, one entry will go into the drawing. Visit seven to 12 libraries, and two entries go in. For 13 to 18 visits, three get entered. To enter, return the stamped map to the Verona Public Library or any PALS Plus library by Sept. 5. When asked which place on the map is his favorite, Manna has trou-

ble deciding, likening it to choosing a favorite child. In the end, he chooses the Great Falls of Patterson. “They are breathtaking,” he says, and encourages everyone to go see them. Folks from libraries all over the area are excited and hopeful regarding this wide-reaching program. “This is an exciting library program,” said Bloomingdale Library Director Patricia Perugino. Drazek said he is excited as well, both with the program and the feedback. “The response has been quite positive,” he said. “More and more people are coming in.” Manna said he’s aware

of someone who has visited all of the libraries already. Although the Great Library Road Trip Contest still has a month to go, Drazek is hopeful and looking forward to many more years of this particular event. “We will get to see what works and take it from there,” he said. And Manna has high hopes for the program and for libraries in general. “Libraries are the one true democratic institution,” he said. “Regardless of anything that makes us different, everyone is welcomed at the library and you can get what you need.”

Care is set for Wed., Sept. 27, at 7 p.m. Many people’s homes are their most significant asset. Unfortunately, although approximately 70 percent of all Americans will require some form of long-term care, the high cost of such care may not have been considered in planning for retirement, or perhaps it was assumed that Medicare would cover this expense. Advanced planning – the sooner the better – is the key to protecting a home from the potential costs of home care, assisted living and nursing home care.

Things To Do Before Bringing A New Cat Home

ats and dogs are the two most popular types of pets in the country, and while dogs have been dubbed “man’s best friend,” cat owners are quite vocal when expressing their love for their feline friends. Those looking for a cat may not have to look far. The ASPCA says approximately 7.6 million companion animals enter animal shelters nationwide every year, and roughly 3.4 million of those are cats. An area shelter is an ideal place to find a new pet for those thinking of getting their first cat or adding to the pets al-

ready in the household. Cats can be purchased from pet stores, but they also may be available via friends or family members who have recently welcomed a new

litter. Before bringing your cat home, it is best to make sure you and members of your household are prepared to welcome a furry feline

friend into your home. Is everyone ready for the responsibility? Pets are a big responsibility, and all members of the household should be ready and willing to pitch in and care for pets. Divide duties based on age and physical ability. If a member of the family doesn’t support the decision to get a cat, this might not be the right time to do so. Find the right match in a pet. Temperament can play a role in how well a cat fits in with your family. A cat that is fearful and skittish may not be the best match for a family with young, active children. Special-needs cats

may be better for adult-only homes or for people who can devote the extra time needed to properly care for the animal. Designate a cat-friendly spot in your home. A new cat may need some time before he or she acclimates to a new environment. To facilitate this process, designate a room or area in the house for your cat. This should be a low-traffic spot. Keep a litter box and food and water bowls nearby. Stock up on your supplies. Cats will need various pet supplies to be comfortable and healthy. For the time being, use the same

products the cat had at the shelter or pet store, which can create a sense of familiarity that makes cats more comfortable in their new homes. Over time, you can transition slowly to new supplies, including: - litter box and litter material - food - food and water bowls - scratching posts - interactive toys and solo toys - brushes and other grooming supplies continued on page 9

New Cat Home... continued from page 8 - sturdy cat carriers Find the right veterinarian. Select a veterinarian whom you trust and makes you feel comfortable. Have your cat examined by the vet and discuss any questions or concerns you may

have. A vet may be able to install a microchip in your cat for identification purposes as well. Safe-proof your home. Cats can be curious, and many will want to investigate rooms throughout your house. To protect curious

cats, keep cleaning products and other chemicals locked away and secure electric wires with cord containment devices. Know which houseplants are toxic and, if you don’t discard them, make sure they cannot be reached by cats.

Cats make wonderful pets. Bringing a new cat home often requires taking certain steps to ensure your furry friend is comfortable in his or her new home. Dr. Matthew Krupnick

is the owner of the Pequannock Animal Hospital. He grew up in Kinnelon and is happy to be home – with his wife, three cats, and two dogs – to provide quality and compassionate care

for pets in the community. The Pequannock Animal Hospital is located at 591 Newark Pompton Turnpike in Pompton Plains. You can reach the hospital by calling 973-616-0400.

Morris’ FEMA Flood Maps Delayed Until Late August

he Federal Emergency Management Agency has delayed plans to release its long-awaited revised preliminary Flood Insurance Rate Maps for Morris County, pushing back the scheduled date from July 28 to late August. A specific date has not been announced. Once it is set, Morris County will communicate that information to residents. Once the revised maps are released, meetings with the public will be scheduled by FEMA. The formal

90-day appeal period still is expected to begin in the fall. Once finalized and adopted, these new maps will be used to review development plans countywide. They will be key to determining if flood insurance is required and the rates that property owners will pay to the National Flood Insurance Program. In addition, the maps will help determine eligibility for disaster relief and mitigation funding, and will offer the best source of data for understanding

flood risk in communities, especially when considering future development. Until the new maps are adopted, the existing ones will remain in effect. The maps also can be accessed at http://bit. ly/1puArso, or at FEMA’s Map Service Center found at https://msc.fema.gov. To speak directly to a FEMA map specialist, call (877) FEMA MAP (1-877336-2627) from 8 a.m. to 6:30 p.m., Monday through Friday.

hen the school year rolls around, switching from pool to school means finding simpler ways to kick off the day with healthy and nutritious options. Preparing feel-good breakfasts can be as easy as picking and putting together the right ingredients, if you know where to buy them. At grocery stores like ALDI, parents can conveniently find choices they can feel good about feeding their families, including fresh produce and organic, nonGMO and gluten-free

Make-Ahead Breakfasts For Busy School Days

options. Parents can also shop easier knowing ALDI private label items – which make up 90 percent of its products – are free from certified synthetic colors, added trans fats and MSG. After the shopping

trip, try these make-ahead breakfast ideas to give the busy mornings a boost: • Homemade energy bars are an easy breakfast option that can keep you fueled until lunch. For simple bars, heat coconut

oil and vanilla in a saucepan until combined then transfer to a large bowl and mix with cashew butter, oats, dried fruits and granola. Press the mixture between two cookie sheets to flatten, refrigerate 2 hours and slice into bars. • Portion out produce for daily breakfast smoothies. Seal each weekday’s smoothie ingredients in separate plastic bags and simply toss the ingredients in a blender each morning. Enjoy your smoothie in a tumbler or try something new, such as this Blackberry Avocado Smoothie Bowl.

• Use your slow cooker to make oatmeal. Before heading to bed, simply add milk, vanilla and your favorite sweetener to rolled oats and cook on low 7-8 hours. Include dried fruit to soak up moisture and provide a sweet, juicy addition. Or try these Morning Oasis Overnight Oats for a no-cook variation on traditional oatmeal for a quick, crunchy start to the day. Make school mornings a breeze with more quick recipes at aldi.us.

Passaic County CASA For Children Seeks Volunteers

ending the kids back to school? Suddenly have a bit more free time? Passaic County CASA for Children is seeking compassionate, dedicated volunteers to advocate for children who have been removed from their homes due to abuse or neglect. CASA volunteers are court-appointed, trained, and committed adults who ensure that a child’s individual needs remain priority while they are involved with child welfare. Volunteers get to know the child while also gathering information from the family, caretakers, teachers, doctors and caseworkers in order to make informed

recommendations to the family court about the child’s future. From helping siblings find permanent homes together, to helping a child access needed services, to uncovering information that helps reunite a loving family, volunteer advocates make incredible differences in the lives of abused and neglected children. “The feeling of having helped a child, in some small way, is indescribable,” said Candace Eardley, a CASA volunteer from Totowa. Passaic County CASA currently serves 220 children out of the more than 600 in the Passaic County foster care system each

year. These children come from all across the county and all deserve to have a supportive advocate in their lives. CASA volunteers do not require any specific educational or professional background. To become a CASA volunteer, a person must be 21 years or older, have the ability to communicate effectively, be willing to commit to at least 18 months of service, pass a background check, and complete 36 hours of training. For more information about the volunteer program, visit www.passaiccountycasa.org or e-mail Jessica Mickley at jessi-

ca@passaiccountycasa.org. To sign up for an informational session about how to become a volunteer, visit http://www.passaiccountycasa.org/orientation/ or call 973-832-4002, ext. 210. Passaic County CASA is a nonprofit organization that recruits, screens, trains, and supervises volunteers to “Speak Up for a Child” removed from home due to abuse or neglect. CASA is the only program in New Jersey that uses trained volunteers to work one-on-one with children, ensuring that each child receives needed services and achieves permanency in a safe, nurturing home.

Power Squadron Offers State Boating Safety Course

he Northern New Jersey Sail and Power Squadron, a unit of the United States Power Squadrons, will offer the New Jersey State Police approved Boating Safety Course at James Caldwell High School from 7 p.m. to 9:30 p.m., beginning Tues., Sept. 12. The course is taught by certified instructors licensed by the State of New Jersey, and it meets all the mandatory requirements necessary for obtaining a New Jersey State Boating Safety Certificate. It will run every Tuesday evening for seven weeks, which includes a night for review, and a night for the required state examination. The cost

of the course is $90. Legislation in the state of New Jersey was passed a number of years ago requiring all boaters, 16 years of age or older, operating a power-driven vessel, including a personal watercraft, to complete a boating safety course. The legislation requires a minimum of eight hours of instruction with at least six hours of in-classroom study and a proctored examination. Those successfully completing the course will receive a New Jersey Marine State Police certificate that must be in the operator’s possession when on the waters of the state. Failure to exhibit the certificate is presumptive evidence that

the person has not completed an approved boating safety course and is subject to a fine. This certificate is separate from the license required for boating on lakes. Registration is made through the Continuing Education office at James Caldwell High School, after 6 p.m., Monday through Thursday. The phone number is (973)228-2092 and the email address is: http:// w w w. c w c b o e . o rg / c o n tinuinged. Questions concerning the USPS course can also be addressed to the boating course chairman, Bob Rosselot, at (973) 2285329 or rosselot17@aol. com.

Rolling Thunder Provides Awareness And Helps Veterans In Need

By R.E. Wagner end them home! We will not forget!” This is just a handful of statements rising above the steady rumble of passing motorcycles during the demonstrations, community events and charity drives organized across the country by the non-profit organization known as Rolling Thunder. In 1987, former United States Marine Corps Corporal Ray Manzo, U.S. Army Sergeant Major John Holland, Marine First Sergeant Walt Sides, and Sergeant Ted Sampley had lunch together at a diner in Somerville. They were meeting to discuss an unsettling issue that they, as servicemen, felt wasn’t being acknowledged enough in certain military circles. By the end of the meeting, they parted ways with a mission in mind: to bring full accountability for the ‘Prisoners Of War’ and ‘Missing In Action (MIA)’ of all U.S. wars. For Diane Malanga, the secretary of Rolling Thunder’s 3rd Chapter in New Jersey and an official member for almost a decade, Rolling Thunder’s goal hit close to a place close to her heart. “They were deeply troubled knowing these men and women were forgotten,” explained Malanga, “thinking of their families who have not had a chance to have closure. My father served in World War II and Korea and my son just left for boot camp.” Since World War II, more than 83,000 MIA

cases have remained unresolved within military files. An MIA is a casualty classification assigned to combatants and prisoners of war (POW) who are reported missing during wartime. They may have been killed, wounded or captured. If deceased, neither their remains nor grave site have been positively identified. For these four veterans, 83,000 unaccounted soldiers left overseas on distant battlefields was an outrage. “They said we have to take a stand and do something to raise awareness,” Malanga continued. On May 29, 1988, Corporal Manzo recruited 2,500 men and women from all over the nation to attend Rolling Thunder’s first public event held in Washington D.C. There, they assembled peacefully in the parking lot of the Pentagon and rode through the Capital on a predetermined route that led them to the Lincoln Memorial. Since then, Rolling Thunder has grown into an established national organization. During their most recent rally in 2017, almost a million people attended to show their patriotism. And with approximately 10,000 active members spread out across the country among 94 chapters in 33 states, Rolling Thunder has no plans on slowing down. The non-profit’s rosters are filled not only with veterans and active duty military personal, but their families, friends and those who seek to honor the soldiers who never

made it home. In New Jersey alone, there are four Rolling Thunder chapters consisting of hundreds of members. The Garden State is also home to Rolling Thunder’s National Headquarters located in Lebanon. “I joined the chapter three in 2008,” Malanga said, before sharing her fond memory of her first event with Rolling Thunder at the Community Living Center in Lyons. “There were snacks and karaoke, the veterans just loved it. The music, the visit, was so awesome for them.” Malanga reminisced, “One of the most rewarding parts of being a member is making the difference for a veteran. I was hooked from that moment.” In addition to raising awareness of their mission statement to bring home missing soldiers, Rolling Thunder Chapters across the nation provide financial support to help veterans in need. “At times our aging veterans struggle to pay bills,” Malanga explained. “We help with money to pay for heating and have also helped many Veterans with rent or mortgage payments. Last year, Chapter Three raised approx. $24,000 through various events, rides, personal donations and fundraising.” Through charitable donations, as well as organizing community events for service men and women, Rolling Thunder Chapters are known to host events at hospitals and nursing homes like picnics and piz-

za parties for Veterans. An annual program known as Christmas Families is held where New Jersey Rolling Thunder Chapter members provide gift cards from Shoprite, Walmart and Toy- R-Us to help Veterans during the holidays.

Although primarily known for their roaring motorcades and biker persona, Rolling Thunder encourages anyone with a passion to pay respects to service men and women to volunteer their time or donating to the cause.

Interested in donating or volunteering? Contact a local Rolling Thunder Chapter to learn more, or write to the National Headquarters located in Lebanon at P.O. Box 216 Neshanic Station, N.J., 08853. continued on page 11

uilding an outdoor kitchen is a significant investment that can be rewarding for years to come. It’s important to take advantage of nice days and temperate seasons as much as possible, no matter in which part of the country you live. However, with proper planning and preparation, you can fully maximize the enjoyment of your outdoor kitchen all year long, even when temperatures drop. There are ways to do it, and many homeowners are catching on. In fact, a majority of grill and smoker owners (61 percent) enjoy grilling year-round, according to the Hearth Patio and Barbecue Association. These tips and ideas for design and entertaining from Russ Faulk, chief de-

Enjoy Your Outdoor Kitchen All Year Long

signer and head of product at Kalamazoo Outdoor Gourmet, can help you make the most of your outdoor kitchen throughout the cooler fall and winter seasons. Fall: Keep the grill fired up Weekends are everything in the fall. Kids are back in school, football games are in full swing and everyone is trying to extend grilling season with one last barbecue. Rather than hanging in a parking lot for the big game, throw a “home-gate” party in your outdoor kitchen. Many homeowners are outfitting their spaces with outdoor TVs and speaker systems that rival watching at popular neighborhood pubs. All you need to decide is what will be on the menu. Autumn is all about

smoky wood fires, so try capturing that atmosphere by grilling over a large wood-fired grill, such as an Argentine-style grill. You can impress your guests with all of the flavors you can only achieve with a wood fire. Remember temperatures can fluctuate from cool to hot in the fall, so make sure you have portable shade for when you want to stay cool and stowed for when you need to warm up. In terms of maintenance, sink covers offer much-needed protection against seeds, petals and falling leaves. Winter: No need to hibernate November officially kicks off the holiday season. Your holiday get-togethers can stand out from the pack

by bringing outside flavors into the warm comfort of your home. The intense flavor of slow-roasted meats is the perfect pairing with wintertime. Also known as indirect grilling, food is placed in an area without fire below it and cooking is done with the grill hood closed. Add the flavor of a wood fire for “smoke roasting.” This is a perfect way to prepare a beef or pork roast for the holidays. Purpose-built smokers, such as Kalamazoo’s Smoker Cabinet that uses a gravity-fed charcoal fire for heat, are ideal for smoking the Thanksgiving turkey. This also frees up your indoor oven for other holiday dishes. Be the hero of the holiday party by surprising your guests with delicious, slow-

cooked brisket or roasted ham, but keep your outdoor grill or smoker conveniently located adjacent to your indoor kitchen and within close proximity to the back door for quick, easy access, reducing your time out in the cold. With shorter days, you’ll need to consider lighting. Make sure you have plenty of task lighting to not only see your food on the grill, but also transport it back inside when it’s done cooking.

Infrared space heaters go a long way toward making winter grilling more comfortable. One of the last things you want is a delay for the big meal because you’re simply not warm enough to cook effectively. Instead of allowing your outdoor kitchen to go unused during the cooler months, take steps to make it useful year-round. Find more outdoor entertaining ideas and tips at KalamazooGourmet.com.

Did You Know?

onsumers may readily recognize Black Friday and Cyber Monday in the holiday shopping lexicon. But what about Super Saturday? Super Saturday,

sometimes called “Panic Saturday,” refers to the final Saturday before Christmas. This can be a big day for retailers. Super Saturday deals tend to target last-minute shoppers who

wait until the very end to make the majority of their purchases or pick up those final gifts. Super Saturday 2017 occurs on December 23.
