Centenary IHSA Team Reigns In Success At Kentucky Event By J. L. ShivelyThe Centenary College Intercollegiate Horse Show

Association team trotted into fourth place this monthat the IHSA National Competition held in Lexing-

ton, KY. The IHSA is for full-time undergraduate students who

are “interested in any level of riding,” says Michael Dowl-

ing, an IHSA coach at Centenary where he has worked forthe past 16 years.According to the IHSA website the organization was

first established by Bob Cacchione in 1967 when he was asophomore at Fairleigh Dickinson University, founding theassociation “on the principal that any college studentshould be able to participate in horse shows, regardless oftheir financial status or riding level.” The team at Centenary is one of the top ranking IHSA

schools in the nation and competes locally in zone three re-gion three. They compete against schools in northern NewJersey and southern New York such as Drew University,the United States Military Academy and Vassar. “Centenary has won our region every year for the past

decade,” Dowling states of the IHSA team’s regional per-formance. The Centenary IHSA team currently has approximately

60 riders from all different riding levels. Competitions in-clude walk/trot levels as well as an open competition in-cluding Hunt Seat as well as a Western Division. Throughout the academic year, teams and riders com-

pete in a variety of shows and earn points which will helpthem qualify for nationals. The top two qualifying teamsfrom each division earns a place to compete at Nationals.Subsequently the top two individual riders also move for-ward based on the point system. The Centenary team “participated in eight shows over

the past two semesters,” says Dowling. With six shows inthe fall semester and two in the spring. The regional com-petition was hosted by Centenary at the beginning of Apriland then zone finals were held in Gloucester leading up toNationals early this month. Dowling explains that both individuals and teams par-

Citing abysmally low usage rates of a life-saving servicedesigned to protect residents with developmental dis-abilities and dementia, Warren County Sheriff Candi-

date Charlie Makatura recently announced plans to betterserve and assist the county’s most vulnerable residents ifelected.“It’s a great thing that Project Lifesaver is offered by the

Warren County Sheriff’s Office to protect our most vulnera-ble residents,” said Makatura. “However, it’s a disgrace thatthe service has been utilized just three times in the last two-plus years.” Makatura says he thinks that this poor usage ratestems from a lack of outreach to publicize the program.Information obtained via a Open Public Records Act re-

quest shows that Project Lifesaver has been utilized just onetime since Jan. 2016, and only three times since Jan. 2014. Project Lifesaver is a life-saving service provided by the

Warren County Sheriff’s Office for residents afflicted with

dementia or Alzheimer’s disease, or with autism, Down syn-drome, or cognitive impairments. Participants register withthe sheriff’s office and wear a special wrist or ankle braceletequipped with a small transmitter which emits a signal thatlaw enforcement can track when someone goes missing, re-ducing search time from days and hours to mere minutes. Ac-cording to the official Warren County Sheriff’s Officewebsite, “the Warren County Sheriff’s Office serves as thelead agency for Project Lifesaver.”Makatura noted a March 31, 2016 report issued by the

Center for Disease Control that New Jersey’s rate of childrenidentified with an autism spectrum disorder is the highest inthe nation – one in 41 children, compared to one in 68 na-tionally – an increase of 12 percent from just two years ago. “Unfortunately, nearly all of us have been touched in some

way by autism, Down syndrome, dementia or Alzheimer’s,”said Makatura. “It’s the duty of those in law enforcement to

Sheriff Candidate Supports Project Lifesaverenact a proactive approach to ensure we’re protecting thosewho need it most, and as sheriff, that’s exactly what I’ll do.”He says, “I’ve been spending time meeting with the fam-

ilies and caregivers who know these diseases best so I canhave an even keener understanding of the issues that mattermost in this important community. As sheriff, I will person-ally make sure every resident, family, caregiver, supportgroup and treatment facility who can be assisted by ProjectLifesaver is fully aware of the sheriff’s ability to play a proac-tive, critical role in better protecting our residents.”Makatura served for 22 years in the state police; is a

United States Air Force and New Jersey Air National Guardveteran; has business experience from M&M Mars; and cur-rently serves as councilmember for Belvidere.

tional Riding Competition (ANRC) teamalso won the overall ANRC championship.This competition Dowling states, “is an out-standing event that is comprised of fourphases, including a written phase, a pro-gram ride [which] is very much like a dres-sage test with a trot and canter jumpincorporated, a derby phase as well as ametal phase.” In this event riders compete

with their own horses, or the college ownedhorse they have been schooled on. Overall Centenary’s riding teams cleared

their jumps with room to spare and “thesuccess that the Centenary teams have is at-tributed to a group effort,” Dowling ex-plains, the talent and hard work of the ridersand, of course the “faculty, staff and won-derful horses.”

By Cheryl ConwayMany more have heard her cries forhelp, and although wonderful,the need in affording a storage

place to house all of the generous furnituredonations is that much greater.Founder and Director Sandra Ramos of

Strengthen Our Sisters (SOS) has found avacant store at 1621 Hamburg Turnpike in

Wayne and has a vision of opening a storethere to keep all of the furniture donationsmuch needed by the women she sheltersthrough her organization. The 6,000 squarefoot space used to be a florist shop, shesays.“It’s a great location; has a lot of room;

it’s long,” says Ramos of Ringwood. “Weget so much stuff that we have to turn it

Pioneer For Battered Women’s Shelter Finds Creative Ways To Carry On Her Missiondown. We have nowhere to keep it.”Since her call for help a few months ago

seeking contributors to help pay for themortgage at a lower interest rate to keepSOS afloat, Ramos has received close to 30calls from people who have furniture dona-tions. “Some of it we took,” she says. If do-nations continue to come in, Ramos says“we could sell it” at the store and help sup-port SOS.Established in 1977 as Shelter Our Sis-

ters - the first shelter for battered women inNorth America- the community-based non-profit organization changed its name toStrengthen Our Sisters and has since grownto eight houses, two day care centers, a foodpantry and a thrift store.Through SOS, Ramos provides housing

for 155 women and children in shelters lo-cated in New Foundland, Wanaque andWest Milford.The store in Wayne would be rented to

her for $5,000 per month, she says. Withideas already sprouting, she has creativeways to use the space in addition to furni-ture storage.

She was thinking it could be used as ajazz café to feature some students who per-form; or even as a craft store, as a place forthe women in her shelter to show off theirmany talents such as artistic ability and sellitems for profit.“We have so many women with talents

who are living poverty stricken,” saysRamos. “We have women who are artistic.They can make dolls and pictures, hand-made clothes and ceramics.” One of herhouses is for older women and “they ownedbusinesses,” she says.“We want to be economically independ-

ent rather than dependent,” she adds. “Thewomen can become economically suffi-cient.”Ramos’ experience in working 15 years

as a waitress in a jazz place, Mikell’s in NY,can now come into play if her plans carryto fruition.For those who would like to help by ei-

ther continuing to donate furniture, as wellas money to offset the mortgage, or who hasan idea for a better and yet more affordablestore location, call Ramos at 973-831-6156.


By Elsie WalkerHundreds of cars, the sounds of DocSouth, food, vendors, and the facesof the M&M gang smiling down…

it can mean only one thing: the 22nd annualMemorial Motor Madness Car Show.Presented by the Hackettstown Rotary

Club on the MARS Chocolate North Amer-ica grounds at 800 High Street, the eventwill be held rain or shine on May 29, from9 a.m. to 3 p.m., with gates open to cars at7:30 a.m. Vehicle registration is $25.The show benefits The Joan Knechel

Cancer Care Center at Hackettstown Med-ical Center and Rotary programs that helplocal individuals, families, and nonprofit or-ganizations in the greater Hackettstownarea.Spectator admission is $5, with children

age 12 and under admitted free when ac-companied by an adult. No pets and no al-cohol will be admitted. For moreinformation, call 908-509-1828 or visit:www.hackettstownrotary.org.“This signature event of the Hack-

ettstown Rotary Club is, by far, its most vis-ible and effective project, affecting

thousands of people in the greater Hack-ettstown area. While vendors and exhibitorsmay travel considerable distance to partic-ipate, they’re happy to do it because it’sboth a top quality car show and a greatcause. Spectators show up year after year tosupport the cause and have a good timewelcoming in the summer season. It’s aboutas American an activity as one can find, andeasily one of the best because it brings allkinds of people together for the commongood,” said Rotary member Kevin Guyette,volunteer coordinator for the event.Rotary member and car show chair, An-

drea Kirchuk, said that the show can feature500 vehicles on a good-weather day. Thereare 21 different classes that include Mus-tang, Firebird, Camaro, Antique (pre-1940to 1970), VW Beetle, Antique Trucks, andStreet Rod, and more. Prizes are awardedin each class, with judging by show partic-ipants. Best of Show is chosen by popularvote, with this year’s winner receiving theEd Hagaman Memorial Trophy, named inhonor of one of the show’s founders. Spe-cial dash plaques are awarded to the first400 entrants.

The Yearly Madness Hits Hackettstown With Memorial Car ShowOne of the mainstays of the event is Doc

South, who not only makes the day memo-rable with his music, but reminds the crowdwhat the “memorial” part of the day is allabout.“Doc is a combat veteran of the Vietnam

War, and it is especially important to himthat we observe a moment of silence for ourtroops at noon and then place our hands

over our hearts when our National Anthemis played,” said Guyette. Doc South willalso be taking donations for phone cards tobe given to our troops. “Doc is part of thehistory of the car show, and people come tolisten to him play the oldies and remark onthe music and the event as much as theyenjoy the cars,” said Guyette.

The annual Memorial Motor Madness Car show can have up to 500 cars on a good weather dayand benefits many organizations in the Hackettstown area.



In addition to the cars and music, therewill be food, items to purchase and a 50/50.Food vendors will be on hand to servebreakfast and lunch items, including break-fast sandwiches, burgers and hot dogs,sausage sandwiches, Southern soul food,ice cream and hot and cold beverages. Ro-tary members will be selling chances for acash 50/50 prize. There will be a numberof car-related vendors and some craft ven-dors. Hosting the event on its grounds is

MARS Chocolate/North America, which ismarking its 75th anniversary this year.Guyette noted that “MARSChocolate/North America demonstrates itsgenerosity to the community by graciouslyhosting the event on their grounds, supply-ing manpower where needed and candy ga-lore to exhibitors and spectators alike. Thecompany’s commitment to community ac-tion is without peer. They are the perfectpartner to our endeavor.”Sponsors for this year’s event include

Autosport Chevrolet, Centenary College,

Hackettstown Hyundai, HackettstownMedical Center, Honda of Hackettstown,Johnson Dodge, MARS Chocolate NorthAmerica, Smith Motor Car Company,WRNJ Radio, and Warren County Commu-nity College,The bottom line of the event is that it

helps some great causes. Kirchuk noted thatthe show will benefit The Joan KnechelCancer Center at Hackettstown MedicalCenter, as well as other local charities sup-ported by the Rotary Club, including theNORWESCAP Food Bank, The Arc ofWarren County, Big Brothers/Big Sisters,Camp Merry Heart, DASACC, and more.For those in the Hackettstown Rotary

Club, it is a great deal of work, but it alsohelps many organizations and lets those thatcome get a peek into what the Rotary is allabout.Reflecting on that, Guyette shared, “I

have been a member of the HackettstownRotary Club since 2000 and have served asthe club’s president twice. The beauty of thecar show is that it brings so many peopleinto the beautiful town of Hackettstown to

Memorial Car Show...continued from page 6 both enjoy the event and learn more about

Rotary. Rotarians are everywhere that day,and many of us are approached by guestswho genuinely want to know about theclub’s other activities. It’s one of the bestways to promote our scholarship program,the Thanksgiving Food Drive, the shred-ding programs, and our international ef-forts. It’s also the first introduction to

Rotary for many people, and it’s our hopethat they will consider joining the club atsome point. I like to kid that Rotary is likeShakespeare – it’s everywhere, and it hasenlightened and elevated those who areopen to its magic. We help make lives bet-ter, here and abroad, and we have fun doingit, too. That, to me, is the joining of per-sonal and professional commitment.”

By Jane PrimeranoThe lawn between Centenary College’s Seay Adminis-tration Building and Jefferson Street on a warm springday is often the habitat of napping students interrupted

by nosy dogs being walked around the neighborhood.But on Sat., April 25, tents and tables dotted the lawn for

the annual Earth Day Celebration in Hackettstown.“Earth Day was Wednesday,” Biology Professor Lynn

Taylor noted, “but we get more people on the weekend.” Shesaid this is the eighth year of the celebration.Radio station WNTI’s contribution to the day was a music

tent featuring sets by Kathy Moser, Matt Ramonga andSkysleeper, said Melanie Thiel, business manager and DJ.On the east side of the lawn were tables set up by student

organizations and science majors. Taylor and other facultymembers distributed “passports” to children visiting. Thepassports were stamped at each table the children visited. Anychild with all the “ports” stamped got to choose an item froma goodie bag, Taylor said. They also received a $10 ticket toa show at the Centenary Stage Company and a raffle ticketfor either a gift certificate from Cartridge World or Salt GastroPub. Anjana Desai’s Global Politics class was painting faces

and selling baked goods for the benefit of Soles for Souls. The students raised money for school supplies needed by

students in poor countries, Desai said. Last year they shippednearly 50 pounds of supplies, including pencils and pens, col-ored pencils and pretty much anything children can use, she

said. This year a school in Honduras will receive the supplies.

In previous years, the schools were in Costa Rica andGuatemala. Small children lined up for Earth Day-themed images on

their faces and a few of the college students painted eachother’s faces.Biology major Vicki Thiel had tanks with marine life for

children to touch. The blue crab was a little nippy, but the her-mit crab seemed happy to be held, she told some children vis-iting the table. Thiel explained an aquatic hermit crab, like itsterrestrial cousin, seeks out homes in abandoned shells. Members of Tri-Beta, the biology honor society, were

handing out seeds to be planted in biodegradable pots. Theywere also selling t-shirts featuring all of the classes in the bi-ology department. The highlight of Earth Day each year is the recycled fash-

ion show. Fashion design majors create haute couture out offound objects. Christina Medina wore “Morning Buzz,” a top made out

of newspapers and a skirt made from Greek Diner coffeecups. “I wanted to illustrate what everyone needs in the morn-

ing, newspaper and coffee,” she said.Tori Morris went entirely in newspapers. “It has muslin on the inside. I pleated it on the mannequin

and sewed the skirt to the top,” she explained. Kayla Gonzales took 420 yards of yarn and two shower

curtains and turned it into a replica of a wedding dress shesaw. The yard was wound into flat circles and placed dis-creetly on the transparent shower curtains. Carolina Arboleda created a tissue-paper skirt and a halter

top out of a Victoria’s Secret bag. Other fashion majors andtheir friends modeled truly recycled prom dresses.Centenary is the only New Jersey college campus with a

chapter of Becca’s Closet.Alexandra Lentini is president of the chapter. She ex-

plained Becca’s Closet was founded after the death of Re-becca Kirtman, a 16-year old high school student from SouthFlorida who made it her mission to provide prom dresses togirls who couldn’t afford them. She collected 250 dresses forgirls in Dade County before her death in a car accident in2003. Fashion Professor Kristen McKittish explained some girls

feel sensitive about needing a free dress and come to aBecca’s Closet a ways from their homes. Others posted pic-tures of the dresses on social media and spread the word. Many of the dresses donated are prom dresses, but some

are bridesmaid’s dresses, McKittish said. They are in all sizesand colors.

Gardening is a rewarding hobby that can pay a host ofdividends, both for the planet and the people doingthe gardening. Healthy plant life can help clean the

air by absorbing carbon dioxide and various air pollutants,while the act of gardening can help gardeners combat stress.Published in 2011 in the Journal of Health Psychology, a

study from researchers in the Netherlands found that garden-ing promotes relief from acute stress. In the study, two groupsof participants were asked to complete a stressful task andthen instructed to either read indoors or garden outdoors for30 minutes. After 30 minutes, the latter group had lower lev-els of the stress hormone cortisol and even reported being ina better mood than the group instructed to read indoors.But gardening does more than just provide gardeners with

a reason to spend some time relaxing outdoors in an effort torelieve stress. Gardeners who raise certain plants may be ableto bring those benefits with them when going inside as well.According to an article published in the journal Environmen-tal Health Perspectives in October 2011, houseplants canwork wonders when it comes to improving overall health, re-moving toxins from air, soil and water by metabolizing sometoxic chemicals and releasing harmless byproducts while se-questering such toxins by incorporating them into plant tis-sues.Clean indoor air is important for everyone, but especially

so for those people who suffer from respiratory ailments like

asthma. In fact, the American Academy of Allergy, Asthmaand Immunology considers indoor air filtration an essentialpart of any strategy to improve respiratory health. But filtra-tion systems and air purifiers are often not enough, and thosewho want the air in their homes to be as clean as possible maybenefit from introducing certain houseplants into their homes.The following are a handful of plants that can help to improveindoor air quality.• Aloe vera: Aloe vera might be most often associated with

hand creams and hand soaps, but the aloe vera plant, a suc-culent that even novice gardeners should have no problemgrowing, can clear indoor air of formaldehyde and benzene,two common byproducts of chemical-based cleaners manypeople use in their homes.• Spider plant: Spider plants are resilient, and that makes

them great houseplants for busy men and women who tendto be forgetful when caring for their plants. In addition, spiderplants are pet-friendly and can be used to combat benzene,carbon dioxide, formaldehyde and xylene.• English ivy: NASA researchers exploring the possibili-

ties of long-term space habitation found that certain house-plants were more effective at cleaning air insideenergy-efficient, nonventilated buildings than others. Onesuch plant was English ivy, which can effectively combat theformaldehyde found in certain household cleaning products.• Bamboo palm: Bamboo palms also found their way onto

Houseplants Can Clean Indoor AirNASA’s list. Bamboo palm plants thrive indoors, where theyare especially effective at filtering out the chemicals benzeneand trichloroethylene.Gardening has been proven to be a soothing hobby that

can help gardeners reduce stress. But the health benefits ofgardening can extend indoors as well.

11 a.m. to 5 p.m.Tues., June 14, Aon Corp. in Morristown

9 a.m. to 3 p.m.New Jersey Blood Services, a division of

New York Blood Center (NYBC) is askingfor help to maintain an adequate supply of allblood types, but especially O-negative – the“universal” blood which can be transfusedinto anyone in an emergency. In addition,hundreds of additional blood drives need tobe scheduled to meet projected hospital de-

mand. Current inventory of several bloodtypes is running below the desired targetlevel.“It’s simple: hospital patient demand for

blood often outpaces our best efforts to re-cruit donors and schedule blood drives,” saidNYBC Executive Director of Donor Recruit-ment Andrea Cefarelli. “There are alwaysreasons but we have to overcome that for thesake of hospital patients who need us.”“This is one of the toughest times of the

year,” Cefarelli added. “We’re asking for ourdedicated supporters to roll up their sleevesto make sure we’re able to provide our hos-pital partners with whatever they need to takecare of their patients.” Blood products have a short shelf life –

from five to 42 days, so constant replenish-ment is necessary. Each and every day thereare patients who depend on the transfusion ofred blood cells, platelets and plasma to stayalive. But blood and blood products can’t bemanufactured. They can only come from vol-unteer blood donors who take an hour to at-tend a blood drive or visit a donor center.To donate blood or for information on

how to organize a blood drive call 1-800-933-2566; visit: www.nybloodcenter.org.

The story of Black Oak Golf Clubbegan more than 30 years ago, but alot had to happen before becoming the

idyllic vision of golf that it is today. The mostcompelling part of the story is not the wet-lands, the movement of dirt or the dedicationof the membership – it is the story of those

who brought it to life. You would be hardpressed to find another golf club in the statethat has taken more vision, time, energy, andsweat from a core group of dedicated owners. From Joe Hays, who acquired the prop-

working farm, to his son Pete Hays who ledthe development of the course, to PeteRochelle, who built both the course and theexquisite clubhouse that was finally com-pleted in 2015, each owner partner has pro-vided and continues to provide invaluable

contributions to the club. Owner, Black OakCourse Architect and PGA legend DavidGlenz is likely the only golf course architectwho is on property day in and day out, yearsafter completion of the course. Local busi-nessman and managing partner Bob Vreelandkeeps an eye on the day to day finances of the

club. At its core, Black Oak Golf Club is a local

club where local individuals and familiesgather with golf as the center of activity,”says General Manager and Director of GolfDan Pasternak. “Certainly this is one of thefinest and most beautiful 18-hole champi-onship courses in the state,” he continues,“and it wasn’t that long ago that it was just adream in the minds of the owners.”In addition to its owners, Pasternak be-

lieves that there are several factors that makethe club, located in Long Valley, the uniqueoasis that it has become. One is the relaxednature of its membership, as opposed to thestuffiness you may find at older traditionalclubs. Another is the incredible staff that in-cludes Glenz, a legendary PGA player and in-structor, PGA Tour winner and multiplewinner of NJPGA major championships.Head Golf Professional Brian Jones is a for-mer NJPGA Teacher of the Year and an ex-pert in the rules of golf. Jones has acted as anofficial at The Masters, Ryder Cup and thePGA Championship, and is Vice Chairman

of the PGA of America Rules Committee.Pasternak himself is a PGA of AmericaBoard Member and award winner. A moreaccomplished golf staff would be hard tofind.2015 was a transition season for the club

that has become the talk of the town. Theirlong awaited clubhouse opened mid-seasonto rave reviews from the members.

“The dream is finally a reality,” saysPasternak. “Until this year, Black Oak hasbeen a work in progress. The 2016 seasonwill be the first time members and theirguests will experience a club with completeamenities – terrific golf, events, parties andfirst rate culinary experiences.”Some of the best amateur players from

across the region choose to play at BlackOak, yet the majority of the membership ismade up of local residents, many of whomdon’t play golf. For them, it has become thecenter of their social universe. A range ofmemberships are available to fit every situa-tion, with families at the heart of the offer-ings.
