During the school year the needy children of

Hackettstown receive food from school based pro-

grams. In the summer months, these strapped fam-

ilies must now absorb the additional food costs into their

already strained budgets. Last years Summer Backpack

Program provided large bags of kid-friendly, healthy andfresh food every two weeks to over 250 children. This year,

it is expected that this number will increase.

St. James Episcopal Church will be marching in the

Memorial Day parade collecting jars of peanut butter or

donations for the 2013 Summer Backpack program. This

program provides food to the hungry children of the greater

Hackettstown area and provides relief for family food budg-

ets in homes where unemployment, underemployment or

disability impact on the food needs of children. Every year

United Way of Northern New Jersey is a dedicated sponsor

of this Summer Backpack program.

If you are going to the parade please remember to bringa chair and sunblock for you, and a jar of peanut butter for

a needy child. If you miss us in the parade, we have a

donation bucket on the front porch of the Mitcham House at

214 Washington Street.

To volunteer for the Backpack program this summer,

please call 908 852 3968. For more information about this

program or any of St. James other outreach ministriesplease visit our web or Facebook sites.

As residents of Allamuchy Township

and tourists stroll up the drive

toward The Hall, the large brown

door, resembling the entrance to a medieval

castle, looms in the distance, with a whitemarble family crest encrusted in the brick

faade above the door. Into the marble is

inscribed, Nec Sorte; Nec Fato.

Translated from the Latin, as neither by

fate nor by chance, only evoke more

curiosity about this magnificent and stately

structure and the people who lived here.

Construction on The Hall began in 1903 and

was occupied by the Rutherfurds in 1905.

The property was gifted to the Congregation

of the Daughters of Divine Charity by the

family and the adjacent infirmary, now ren-ovated into a school, was occupied by the

Sisters in 1954. Periodically, both the

Rutherfurds and the Sisters visit the proper-

ty and the Rutherfurds remain a contribut-

ing factor. The Rutherfurd family has a

unique place in history and certainly tomes

have been written about them. Envision

FDR dinning in the palatial room overlook-

ing the lake and at the encircling state park.

The Barons of New York and European

Royalty were frequent visitors to this gem

in the middle of no where. The whole man-sion is history! Now, fortunately,

Rutherfurd Hall and Mountain Villa School

are the property of the Allamuchy Board of

Education because they, along with former

Superintendent, Dr. Tim Frederiks and the

Key Communicator Committee visualized

the potential in the purchase of the proper-ty to resolve school needs for the foresee-

able future and preserve a legacy for future

generations. In essence, the residents of

Allamuchy, are property owners and are

determined to bring this project to fruition.

It was interesting to see the reaction of

the residents as they approached the build-

ing for the first time. Some walked on the

great lawn, viewing the beautiful setting of

the lake and watching the two cylindrical

turbines on the lawn, quietly, generating

electricity. Upon entering the Mansion,there was a look of awe at the sight of the

high crafted ceilings, woodwork and the

marble fireplaces in each room. The stair-

way has the elegance of a Broadway pro-

duction and the Romanesque columns are of

another century. More than one visitor stat-

ed, I could live in one room. During the

course of two days, approximately 600 vis-

ited The Hall.

Rutherfurd Hall is now on the National

and State Historical Directory. Some grants

have been received to revitalize the entireMansion and there are many events on web-

site detailing fund raising programs.

Juggling four different events in one place

during the course of days, takes a great deal

of talent and dedication. Amy Hufnagel, Art

and Program Director and Laurie Rapisardi

are, definitely, two such persons, andalways in the background, is former

Superintendent, Dr. Tim Fredriks and the

Board of Education. Likewise. Kudos to the

Friends of Rutherfurd Hall Committee for

their continued dedication to the renovation

of this grand structure.

So, are you looking for a constructive

project? Are you somewhat of a visionary

and history buff? Or, are you simply curious

about this historic mansion in your midst?

The Committee meets every first Thursday

of the month, 7:00, at Rutherfurd Hall onRoute 517 before the Route 80 entrance.

For further information, log on to

www.rutherfurdhall.org for events and pro-

grams or phone Laurie or Amy at 908-684-

scenic property, is open to the general pub-

lic each Wednesday from 1:00 to 4:00pm.

A

ll is going well in Hackettstown, as the policedepartment continually does an excellent job to

keep the neighborhood safe, and the communityenjoys its most successful spring festival ever.

In a phone interview last week, Sgt. Darren Tynan saidpolice are constantly working hard to keep the communitysafe.

"We all come here to do our job - to protect and serve,"Tynan said.

He added that officers work hard to investigate theftsand burglaries, and they do their best to "bring them to jus-tice."

Officers also work to do their best to retrieve stolenitems. As always, police offer information on their websitehttp://www.hackettstownpd.net/, and also ask for the pub-

lic's help with respect to any crime tips. The HackettstownPolice Department Facebook page is also an essential placeto look for information.

Police are always working to "serve and protect the pub-lic and serve and protect Hackettstown," Sgt. Tynan said.

If residents have not yet spent much time on theHackettstown Police Department Facebook page, they maybe missing some important updates and information.

Police Department officials make entires on thisFacebook page often, and residents can obtain importantpolice news, and even warnings regarding any emergencysituations or situations of concern, as they arise. This valu-

able news can help by giving news on emergencies, powerouttages, and construction projects, for instance.Residents can all find out about news items immediate-

ly, and have many questions answered by way of thesenews items posted by Hackettstown Police Department. Ifyou often shy away from technology, you may want to

make an exception and use Facebook for the sake of gath-ering important news.

Updates on traffic and construction projects are oftengiven on the Hackettstown Police Department Facebookpage, and in addition, the department likely needs the pub-lic's help once in a while if they have information leading toany arrests and burglaries. Police departments in severalarea towns also certainly offer advice and safety tips by wayof Facebook to keep your home and motor vehicles safe, aswell as the community in general.

So, for these reasons, Facebook is often an excellentplace for community updates and finding out about success-es of the police department.

The police department reminds the community that they,of course, do accept crime tips. On the Hackettstown PoliceDepartment website, http://www.hackettstownpd.net/ clickon Crime Tips at the right hand side of the screen.

You will be prompted to fill out information in theblanks listed for your name, address, phone number, email,and comments: "Do you have information about suspiciousactivity in Hackettstown? Fill out the form below. You mayremain anonymous, however it is to the benefit of the inves-tigation if we have someone to contact regarding a crimetip. All information will be kept confidential."

Photos of brand new pedestrian signs are also posted on

facebook. They were donated by "Me to YouConsignments," and police noted that they are working ongetting more signs to put up in other areas of the town.

These skinny yellow signs are propped up securely in asmall, bolted-down, sturdy holdster right in between thedouble yellow lines on the street.

Also, the Hackettstown Police Department is enforcingand educating the public regarding the importance of wear-ing seatblets by being part of the nationwide "Click it orTicket" program between May 20 and June 2.

During the 2012 Click it or Ticket campaign, 425police agencies participated in the two-week initiative. As aresult of the effort, law enforcement officers issued 29,307seat belt citations, 4,951 speeding summonses and made861 drunk driving arrests.

In addition to this, on the police department website, res-idents may want to look into "News and Press Releases" tofind out about how police are "utilizing a new communica-tions service."

The police department is getting residents involved withthe Nixle Community Information Service - which, onceresidents sign up, will allow them to receive instant textmessage alerts or email alerts from the police department.This will allow residents to receive important informationand also updates during emergency situations.

In other Hackettstown news, Warren County Chamber ofCommerce President and CEO James Graham, said therecent spring festival "will go down in the history books" asa most successful event.

Graham said "the weather was absolutely radiant," andthe festival was a success on many levels. He said it was a

success from an implementation standpoint, it was a finan-

On Saturday, May 25th, the Morris County Parks

Commission and Fosterfields Living Historical

Farm will present "Civil War Remembrances", a

special event on the 150th Anniversary of the Civil War.The location is truly appropriate because of its direct con-

nection to this momentous time in Americas history.

General Joseph Warren Revere, grandson of Paul

Revere, purchased the property in the mid-1800s and built

the impressive Gothic Revival home, The Willows.

Charles Foster purchased the farm in 1881, changing its

name to Fosterfields.

Early in the Civil War, Revere was appointed colonel of

the 7th New Jersey Volunteer Infantry. His courage and per-

formance through many battles had him quickly moving up

the ranks. However, the Battle of Chancellorsville, Virginia

in 1863 became Reveres most personally challenging timein his distinctive military career. Regrouping his men dur-

ing the chaos of battle lead some to believe he was retreat-

ing, which resulted in a court-martial. Eventually President

Lincoln overturned the ruling, but General Revere turned in

his resignation.

Historian, actor and author William Chemerka will be

portraying General Revere in the Willows, along with his

wife Debbie as Mrs. Rosanna Revere. He will share with

the public his experiences at Chancellorsvil le along with his

undeserved court-martial. Bills latest book is about the

Willows most celebrated inhabitant, titled General Joseph

Warren Revere; the Gothic Saga of Paul Reveres

Grandson.

In the Visitor Center, author and historian Robert Jones

will present an impressive display of original Civil War arti-

facts and memorabilia. The extensive exhibit covers just

about everything related to the Civil War, but there is a

strong emphasis on the personal side of the soldier what

he carried, brought from home, or purchased from the camp

sutler.

Mr. Jones will also have available and will be signing his

Civil War related books. Recently he completed his fourth

book Civil War Artillery A Pictorial Introduction.Previous to that he has published The Civil War Canteen

Second Edition and Battle of Gettysburg The Relics,

Artifacts & Souvenirs. Although thousands of books have

been written on Gettysburg, he was the first to have pub-

lished an in-depth study with over 750 photographs on the

rare battlefield relics and the unique souvenirs associated

with the famous event.

Anxious to get todays youth more involved in American

History, Robert published his first childrens book titled

Children at the Battle of Gettysburg Their Unforgettable

Summer. The story itself is fictional, but based on actual

events just prior to and through the famous 1863Pennsylvania battle. It lets children learn about Gettysburg

and the Civil War in a fun and exciting way without even

realizing it. The gory details of war were purposely avoid-

ed and the kids today can put themselves directly in the

Local Author has Book Signing and Civil War Exhibitmiddle of what was a calamitous experience by children

such as them 150 years ago.

This event is in conjunction with the 150th Anniversary

of the Civil War and it is an opportunity for both young and

old to experience and better understand the hardships and

sacrifices which were made during the most horrendous

time in our nations early beginning. Bob Jones and Bill

Chemerka are both members of the 33rd New Jersey

Volunteer Infantry and have been active in promoting Civil

War history throughout New Jersey for over 20 years.

Fosterfields is also a working farm with a variety of ani-

mals - using the tools, techniques and materials of the 19th

century. The event is on Saturday, May 25th and "Mr. and

Mrs. Revere" will be at their front door to welcome all from

1:00 3:30. Mr. Jones will be in the Visitors Center the

entire day from 10:00 5:00 to discuss the Civil War, sign

books, and explain the artifacts on display. Fosterfields is

located at 73 Kahdena Rd., Morristown, NJ (973) 326-7645

Graham added that Mars North America

even ran out of free candy to give outbecause of the overwhelming number ofattendees at the event. He said there waslikely an excess of 20,000 people at thespring festival.

This is quite a gathering, and it showsthat the Hackettstown community is strong,and can have great success at holding a

prosperous and fun event.Also, the Moore Street Open-Air Market

will be starting on Saturday June 1, and willbe held each Saturday from 9 am -2 pm.Business Improvement District DirectorJim Sheldon said there will be 15 or so ven-dors each week.

Sheldon said he is looking forward to agreat event each week, and added that he isworking on business recruitment in generalfor the town, but could not offer any detailsat the current time.

Breakthrough Treatment Now Available In Long ValleyImagine thirty to forty years ago if you were told that lasers

would replace scalpels in surgery or that robotic instruments

would build cars; you may not have believed it. By the sametoken would you believe that chiropractic treatments could be

performed using a special hand-held instrument developed byNASA scientists; all while you were sitting in an upright posi-

tion without turning or twisting movements?Advances in computers and engineering technologies have

been able to uniquely blend with chiropractic in order to bothanalyze and treat the human body in such a way that was never

before realized.According to Dr. Michael S. Hyjek, This new form of com-

puterized treatment is so gentle and effective, that it amazes

even the most skeptical patients. Its called the ProAdjuster andis the latest, state-of-the-art technology in existence today, and

the only one in the Long Valley areaThe ProAdjuster can safely and gently analyze and treat the

spine and other joints to remove the nerve impingement that isoften the cause of pains in the low back, neck, shoulder and else-

where in the body. It also works on a variety of muscular con-ditions to loosen tight muscles with ease and comfort. Many

patients say that its like getting a mini-massage.It can also help increase the amount of motion in almost any

joint. Even patients with knee, hip and foot problems such as

plantar fasciitis are being helped. It is also covered by most in-surance companies including medicare.

Dr. Michael S. Hyjek, the secret to the ProAdjuster lies inits advanced piezoelectric sensor that is able to detect the slight-

est amount of restriction in a joint and then deliver an extremely

precise adjustment. He says that Even though traditionalforms of adjusting also work, people are drawn to this new tech-

nique because of how gentle it is and does not in-

volve any twisting, especially in the neck. Manypeople love getting adjusted with traditional man-

ual techniques, all of which are safe and effective,

but there are a large number of people who never

get to experience the amazing benefits of chiro-practic because they are scared to have their

spines adjusted in that way, says Dr. Michael S. Hyjek, Now,

there is no longer a reason for anyone to be weary. TheProAdjuster is perfect for anyone who has been thinking

about going to a chiropractor, but hasnt yet made that deci-

sion. Dr. Michael S. Hyjek, wants everyone to be able to ex-perience these same benefits and if you have any of thefollowing conditions, the ProAdjuster may be the answer

Shadow of Love,

the second sus-

pense novel by for-

mer PV resident, Sam

Faiello( pen name, Samuel

Jay) has received critical

acclaim from a member of

the National Critics Circle.

The novel is set in a gated

community called,

Serenity Hills. Founding

member, Alan Caruba,

wrote, I guarantee that

once you begin to read this

novel, you wont put it

down until the last page. ( It

is) a fast- paced story withrealistic dialogue(and) a

complex life woven into an

intricate plot. This novel is

the sequel to Shadow of

Guilt which was reviewed

by Writers Digest: Move

over John Grisham. Samuel

Jay is a masterful storyteller

who has created compelling

characters that leap off the

page in a suspenseful page-

turner.

Long before it was fash-

ionable, Sam and his wife,

Joan, were involved in eco-

logical issues. His novels

reflect an intrinsic desire toprotect the environment.

Sam, with the assistance of

many residents, was instru-

mental in maintaining and

preserving the bucolic set-

ting of this area. They now

reside in nearby Hunterdon

County. In 2002 he sold his

PR firm to become presi-

dent of a family-owned

water utility founded by his

father, Carmine. Whileinvolved in public relations,

he successfully handled

major public issue cam-

paigns as his firm was

retained by technology-

The calendar may say that summer

comes a month later, but in Hackettstown,

summer starts on May 26th. Just ask Butch

Patrick (aka Eddie Munster) of the 1960sTV show, The Munsters. Actor Patrick will

be on hand as part of this years

Hackettstowns Memorial Motor Madness.

A tradition for years, this fundraising car

show, benefiting the Joan Knechel Cancer

Center at Hackettstown Regional Medical

Center and other organizations, will be held

on May 26th from 9am to 3pm at Mars

Chocolate on High Street. The admission

fee for spectators is $5 for age 5 and up; the

entry fee for exhibitors who have not pre-

registered is $30 per vehicle. The event isheld rain or shine; there is no rain date. No

pets or alcohol are permitted on grounds.

The event is chaired by Hackettstown

Rotary Club President, Bob Eberle, owner

of Panther Valley Pharmacy in Allamuchy.

He has planned almost every detail sin-

gle-handedly, determined to make this our

biggest and most successful car show ever.

And he means ever, shared Kevin Guyette.

Guyette, another Rotary Club member, is

volunteer coordinator.Adding to the nostalgic feeling already

set by cars of many eras, will be Patrick,

who will be on hand all day and sign auto-

graphs (for a fee).

Memorial Motor Madness is sponsored

by The Hackettstown Rotary Club, withmajor support from MARS Chocolate,

Hackettstown Hyundai, Johnson Dodge

Chrysler Jeep Ram, Route 46 Auto, Smith

Motors, Warren County Community

College, and Centenary College. Also, a

number of individuals and local businesses

are sponsoring different Class Sections for

the vehicles.

Guyette shared that 500 or more cars can

be expected if the weather is good. There

are 19 judging classes, for everything from

antiques to foreign cars to Monster and minitrucks to Camaros and Firebirds and more.

Of course, what would an event like this

be without food and vendors selling wares?

Guyette shared that a number of specially

food and other vendors are expected. That

includes Down to the Bone BBQ, a new

restaurant on Lake Lackawanna in

Stanhope, which will offer pulled-pork

sandwiches and other BBQ goodies.

An important part of the 19 year annual

event is Doc South. Guyette shared thatDoc South will be spinning the oldies all

day long, with a special moment of silence

for the countrys active and veteran service

members and playing of The National

Anthem at noon. He also will be collecting

donations of calling cards, and cash to pur-

chase calling cards, for service members

stationed overseas, so that they can stay in

touch with loved ones.

While attendees will enjoy the show, theproceeds from the events will take on a

more serious tone, helping others in impor-

tant ways. Guyette noted that a majority of

the proceeds realized by the event are desig-

nated to the Joan Knechel Cancer Center at

Hackettstown Regional Medical Center.

This state of the art center provides the

best in cancer treatment practically in our

backyard. For patients who formerly had to

travel to New York City, Livingston, or event Morristown

for chemo and other treatment, having the center so close to

home eases both pain and anxiety for many, said Guyette.

The event also benefits a number of other Rotary inter-ests, including The Arc, the NORWESCAP Food Bank, Big

Brothers/Big Sisters, the Hackettstown Area Family Relief

Fund, Camp Merry Heart and Camp Warren, to name just a

few. Our Rotary Club also has an international project in St.

Kitts in which we partner with Hackettstown Regional

Medical Center to deliver state of the art medical equipment

and supplies to the hospital on that island. MARS also has

been part of that success by donating M&Ms for patients

and hospital personnel in St. Kitts, all of whom are over-

joyed to receive their favorite candy! Guyet te noted.

Mars Chocolates presence is also an important part of

the Memorial Motor Madness experience as spectators

looks at the car and catch images of the popular Red,

Peanut, Miss Green, and Ms. Brown M&Ms gracing the

area.

The location is such an asset to the car show because

the grounds are spacious and beautifully kept. Theres tons

of room for cars and vendors, and MARS associates are

extraordinarily friendly, helpful, and welcoming. They set

the tone for a smooth-running event thats also a lot of fun

for everyone. MARS Chocolate is the largest manufactur-

ing presence in Warren County, and its commitment to its

employees many of whom live in the area and to thenonprofits that make Warren County a great place to live

and work - is huge. That a company of this size and stature

recognizes and embraces this project of the Rotary Club and

has made a commitment to its continued success says good

things about MARS and Rotary alike, shared Guyette.

While the show is a fun, family event, the day of theshow is a long one for the Rotarians who are involved.

However, Guyette notes that the company and the causes

are worth it.

First, this event gives me a chance to spend the day with

some of the best people I know the members of the

Hackettstown Rotary Club. It means a perfect partnership

between industry and community to support a medical cen-

ter that provides the best in care and comfort to patients and

families. And it means a chance to let our guests know what

Rotary is all about: Service Above Self and a commitment

to world peace and understanding through service to oth-

ers, she said.It also means 26 exhausted Rotarians at the end of the

day, but we all agree its worth it! she added.

The Hackettstown Rotary must be doing something right

with Memorial Motor Madness. It has been asked to assist

the Paramus Rotary Club in setting up its very first car show

in August. Guyette said her club members looks forward to

being there with the Paramus Rotary Club, and helping it

in any way they can.

By Cheryl Conway

The cat population in Hackettstown ismore controlled these days since thePet Adoption League has been

involved in Trap Neuter Release Program

(TNR).There are some farms, however, and

atleast one homeowner nearby that is strug-gling with stray cats repopulating the area.Volunteers of the PAL have been trying tocontrol the situation by trapping, neuteringand releasing feral cats to their environ-ment, and adopting out the kittens, friendlycats or those who were abandoned.

Weve improved the cat populationgreatly in Allamuchy and Panther Valley,says Kathy Hurley of Belvidere, dog coor-dinator and board member of the PetAdoption League of Hackettstown. Thereare so many farms in Allamuchy. Peoplebelieve they can dump a cat on the farm thatthey dont want. Cats reproduce so quickly.Weve made quite a difference right there.

Established in 1937, PAL is a non-profit,volunteer, animal rescue organization serv-ing Northwest NJ. It has always been asso-ciated with the dog pound in Allamuchy,says Hurley, and operates as a no-kill rescuegroup rather than a shelter. Most of the ani-mals are rescued from pounds.

After stray animals are put in holding forseven days, PAL takes those animals that

were not claimed, gets them vaccinated,spayed and neutered and then adopted out.Of those animals, 90 percent are cats anddogs.

Hurley says she found a home for a hen

once, as well as homes for four rabbits.PAL relies on TNR to control the cat

population in that area. PAL approached theboard of Panther Valley in 2005, when 90percent of the stray cats were coming fromthe gated community, says Hurley.

The population was out of control,says Hurley. Most of those cats were notspayed or neutered. The Panther Valleyboard, however, was not receptive to TNRat that time.

There was a lot of denial by the board,says Hurley. They didnt think we had aproblem, but we knew we did.

PAL then presented a proposal to theAllamuchy Board for TNR approval in2008. It was at that meeting that a memberof the board of the Crest, which is part ofPanther Valley, was interested in PALs pro-posal and agreed to work together, explainsHurley.

It was enough to get our foot in and takecare of the problem itself, says Hurley.We knew we had to stop the cycle. TheACO (animal control officer) told us cats

were coming from Panther Valley; 95 per-cent were coming directly from there.

PAL Seeks Homes For Animals, More Volunteers

PAL has been negotiating with somefarmers in the area, trying to set up a feed-ing station to try to capture the feral cats andthen release them back after they are spayedand neutered.

Hurley says, 90 percent of cats that wetrap we adopt; they end up being house cats.The vast majority were abandoned cats,she says, rather than feral.

PAL traps approximately 60 cats peryear. Out of those cats, four are returned and94 percent are adopted out. Hurley is unsurehow many cats are wandering throughout

the area.It does maintain one station where we

regularly feed the homeless cats inAllamuchy, but we are trapping in manylocations based on calls coming into PALnotifying us of homeless cats, says Hurley.

Currently 30 cats are awaiting adoptionin foster homes and the PAL adoption cen-ter.

As non-paid volunteers, Hurley saysPAL is always looking for people to helpwith TNR.

We have to go everyday to feed the catsat the feeding stations, says Hurley.

More volunteers are needed for fundrais-

ing, training animals, caring for cats, bakingfor bake sales, writing for publicity, as wellas donations.

PAL also offers advice to pet owners;

post pets in need of a home; visit schools totalk to children, as well as boy scouts andgirl scouts on safe techniques on approach-ing dogs and cats and how to safely handlethem.

Since PAL has no facility of its own, itutilizes Pet Smart in Mt. Olive to feature itsdogs and cats awaiting adoption.

With kitten season approaching, PAL hasidentified 10 volunteers who foster the kit-tens until they can be adopted out.

PAL takes all dogs in their care to AllPaws in Hackettstown to get tested for heartworm and lime disease; get spayed,neutered and vaccinated; receive dentistry;and treated for any illness or injury.

Dogs have come in with broken legs,diseases such as lime, says Hurly. They aregiven antibiotics. Cats too are given med-ication for viruses.

We believe animals should be fully vet-ted, say Hurley, and new pet owners madeaware of any illness.

PAL hosts adoption days for cats everySaturday at Pet Smart in Mt. Olive from 12

p.m. to 3 p.m. Since dogs get adopted soquickly, adoption days are less frequent, she

says. Three dogs are in need of homes cur-rently.

The adoption fee, which includes fullmedical care, is $125 for cats and $200 fordogs.

Go to www.palpets.org for more infor-mation on adoption days, and pictures ofdogs and cats seeking a home.

PAL relies strictly on donations andfundraisers to keep the organization going,like the pasta dinner/tricky tray recentlyheld on May 3.

Its big fundraiser- PAL Pets Festival- isset for June 8 at Hasting Square, with anadoption day for kittens, sale items, and agroomer on site - Cortneys GroomingParlor, http://www.cortneysgrooming.com- to talk about techniques, clip nails andcheck ears.

PAL has a general meeting in theHackettstown Community Center on MainStreet the second Thursday of every monthat 6:45pm. Anyone interested is welcometo join.

We want people to realize that wevebeen in Hackettstown for decades, saysHurley. We are out there saving dogs andcats that are abandoned and need our help.

Though not necessarily common,

migraine headaches can affect chil-dren as well as adults. One study

found that by age 15, 5 percent of all chil-

dren and adolescents had suffered from

migraine headaches, while 15 percent had

experienced tension headaches. Children

often suffer from headaches because of a

cold, fever, illness or infection, including

infections of the throat and ears. Sinusitis

also may cause a child to suffer from

headaches. Ideas as to what causes a

migraine headache have changed over the

years. Scientists long linked a migraine

headache to the dilating and narrowing of

blood vessels on the surface of the brain.But now scientists suspect a genetic link

could be behind migraine headaches. An

estimated 70 percent of children and adoles-

cents who have migraines have an immedi-

ate family member who also suffers from

migraines or did as a child. Such youngsters

also may be inheriting a tendency to be

affected by migraine headache triggers like

bright lights, changesin the weather and

fatigue. Kids who spend too much time in

the sun or are too physically active may also

be susceptible to migraine headaches.

Back in 1970, the Autosport Automotive Group was

founded by Gerald A. Lustig. His first store was a

Fiat dealership in Bound Brook, NJ. Over the years,

the group famous for its no pressure approach to car sales,

expanded to over 14 franchises, both domestic and import.

President Gerald A. Lustig states "An opportunity camealong for us to get back in the Fiat business after all of these

years. I have always thought their cars were pretty trick and

definitely a lot of fun to drive. I actually raced a few Fiats

in the SCCA over the years. We're excited to be the exclu-

sive Fiat dealer in the Morris County Area. Fiat of Morris

County, here on Route 53 in Denville is a new Fiat studio

and offers a unique vehicle with some incredible attributes."

Sales Manager Mike Olsen really appreciates the her-

itage and future of this unique marque and knows why it

should be a big success in this area. "I am so happy to be

part of the Autosport Automotive Group. It's exciting to be

part of a dealer group with owners that are as excited aboutthe brand as I am. This new studio location, right in the

middle of Denville, NJ is going to offer the community a

great car and incredible car buying experience."

Autosport Automotive Group VP Steven Lustig has a

great appreciation for the Fiat brand from both a marketing

perspective and the driving experience. When I first started

seeing the commercials and marketing materials for the Fiat

brand I said to myself, "Now there's a brand with a clear

vision and a brand that gets it. Mike asked me if I would

drive the Fiat Abarth Cabrio around a bit so we could get a

little exposure. What I didn't expect was the smile that car

put on my face the first time I took it out. In fact, I can't help

Fiat from Italy to Denville!

but smile still every time I drive it. Now I just have to make

sure my wife doesn't get to the garage before me in the

morning. The very emotion I felt driving the car was the

catalyst for our 'Rediscover' campaign."

Fiat of Morris County offers some incredible amenities.

Every new and pre-owned vehicle comes with an exclusive

complimentary maintenance program and for a limited

time, all new Fiats are being delivered with a free iPad,

courtesy of Fiat of Morris County. Steven Lustig says "We

have a great facility with an incredible team. These cars are

so much fun to drive! We invite everyone to come down,

have an espresso with us, and take one for a test drive and

try not to smile".

women who havent just broken the glass

ceiling; theyve shattered it. Not only dothey excel in fields such as engineering, butthey are passionate, poised speakers advo-cating for issues like adoption reform, vol-unteerism, disability awareness, empower-ing todays youth through Arts educationand more. While they have different inter-ests and talents, such as singing and danc-ing, they all have one thing in common: theMiss America pageant system helped eachone to become the person she is. A key partof the pageant system is the scholarshipsawarded.

On June 1st at noon , a luncheon andtalent show fundraiser, will be held at theStanhope United Methodist Church at #2Route 183 in Netcong. Performing dance(hula, lyrical, jazz, and tap) and singing,plus sharing their platforms will be Chu,Moore, Kaler-Jones, Cocozza plus NicoleWashington and Carissa Palumbo.

Joining Miss New Jersey contestants inthe show will be Miss Libertys

Outstanding Teen, Samantha Rizzuto fromLong Valley, a classical vocalist. Besidesperforming, she will talk on her platform:STEM.

My platform is Balancing theEquation which promotes STEM (Science,Technology, Engineering and Mathematics)Education in elementary and middle schoolstudents. I started an organization calledSTEM-CAM which allows me to work withyounger students to complete hands-onSTEM lessons.

I realized how many people shy away

from STEM subjects in school. This isdetrimental to our countys economy andglobal security. STEM careers are increas-ing at a faster rate than other professions,yet there are less people pursuing thesecareers. STEM careers keep our countrycompetitive with innovations, inventions,technological developments and militaryresources. The only way to keep STEM jobsin our county is by building interest in thesefields with beginning with raising interest instudents at a younger age, shared Rizzuto.

Cierra Kaler-Jones of Galloway, Miss

Cape Shores, will be performing a self-cho-reographed lyrical dance- "I Believe". She

much more: life-long friendships, the abili-ty to command any interview, a love formyself incomparable to any others', and therealization of my own voice. Without the

networking opportunities and the doors thatbeing a local titleholder opens, I would havenever been able to take my experience andshare it with others; I would never havebeen able to visualize myself as a leader andas a role model, said Kaler-Jones.

at the talent show fundraiser, also sharedwhat made her complete in the pageant sys-

tem. Miss America has always embodiedeverything I believed. The four points of thecrown depicting style, scholarship, successand service are the same traits that comprisethe foundation of my life. Being an engi-neer, I appreciate that Miss America hasadopted the STEM program, as it allowswomen to be intelligent nerds while main-taining a relatable image, she said.

Another performer at the upcoming pro-gram is Miss Monmouth, Ellen Chu of ParkRidge. Her platform is disability aware-ness, an issue that hits close to home. Chuhas congenital hearing loss.

When asked what competing in the pag-eants has given her, Chu, who will do adance number in the show, said:

Confidence, humility, and the ability tofinally feel comfortable in my own skin.Pageants have motivated me to defy stereo-typical stigmas associated [with her disabil-ity], to put my best foot forward each andevery day, and to make myself visibly suc-cessful through the things I do.

Terry Karns of Stanhope, a regional pag-eant director, know what Chu means. Hehas seen first- hand how the pageants help

young women evolve. Hes been involved

in the pageant system off and on for 20years. He appreciates what the pageantdoes for people like his daughter (who usedto compete). I saw what the pageant did forher self- image and financially to help with

her Master's degree Performing, You Cant Take That Awayfrom Me:, will be Miss Northern Lakes,Andi Cocozza, of Ocean City. Her pageantplatform is promoting volunteerism.

I have been a volunteer since I was a lit-tle girl, and community service has alwaysbeen an important part of my life, Cocozzasaid.

Kerry Milone-Clapp of Netcong, is thenew director for Miss Northern Lakes pag-eant. Although new, she already knows agreat deal about the pageant system ( hermother, Sharon Rosequist is another pag-eant director) and how much the fundsraised for scholarships will mean. Shereflected on that:

The scholarships we provide for thegirls, are so important. With all of the stressto continue their education and all of thestudent debt that these young ladies allcarry, even the little bit that we are able toprovide to them can be a huge help. Even ifit only pays for books, it is at least one lessthing for them to stress over. They are allsuch bright and talented individuals, I amvery honored that I am able to be a part of

the organization.

Olivia Rubenstein of Boonton

Township, NJ, was about to cele-

brate her Bat Mitzvah and wanted

to do something special to help homeless

dogs in need. Olivia is a Junior Volunteer

with Eleventh Hour Rescue so she naturally

decided to make that organization her spe-

cial cause. Instead of gifts, she asked for

donations to Eleventh Hour Rescue of

Rockaway, NJ, and her family and friends

responded in a very generous manner.

Olivia collected many donations of sup-

plies such as high quality food products,

collars, leashes, and toys. Everything that

the dogs need while waiting to be adopted

in to their forever homes. Olivia herself

made a substantial monetary contribution.

In total, a donation of $1,300 was collectedin addition to the supplies. The money will

be used to purchase adopt me bandanas,

and also used to help offset medical costs as

well as other expenses needed to save the

lives of innocent dogs in need.

The Rubenstein Family, active members

of Temple Beth Am in Parsippany, NJ, are

committed to helping dogs in need; they

have previously adopted a dog from

Eleventh Hour Rescue. His name is

Paragon and he is a Plott Hound. In addi-

tion they currently participate in the Dog

Foster Family program as well.

Eleventh Hour Rescue wishes to sincere-

ly thank Olivia and her family for their

efforts and contributions to this cause.

ABOUT ELEVENTH HOUR RESCUE

Eleventh Hour Rescue is a fully regis-tered 501C(3), nonprofit, 100% no-kill, vol-

unteer based organization dedicated to sav-

ing the lives of innocent dogs and cats on

death row. These are pets that deserve love

and a place to live where they are honored

and cared for. No dog or cat deserves to die

simply because it does not have a home.

Many of them are rescued at their Eleventh

Hour--when they are scheduled to be put to

death by shelters that can no longer care for

them.

We give the dogs and cats all the medicalattention they require, a place to live, and

through our extensive adoption services, a

second chance at a happy and fulfilled life.

We are affiliated with many like-minded

animal groups throughout the United States.

Eleventh Hour Rescue is not subsidized

by any government grants and receives no

major corporate funding. We rely solely on

the generosity of our volunteers, the com-

munity, and animal lovers everywhere.

When finding a loving home for one of

our pets, we make a promise to them before

Olivia Rubenstein

Rubenstein Asks For Donations Instead of Gifts for Her Bat Mitzvah

they leave. While they will never be

replaced in our hearts, a new life will take

their place in our homes. Since our incep-

tion in 2004, we have filled that promise

thousands of times over.

Meet the adorable Abby from Eleventh Hour Rescue. This

precious Hound pup is an older lady but still full of life and

lots of fun. She is 6 years old and was found wandering as

a stray with her sister Ellen. This means that we dont actu-ally know her complete background and we dont even

know her real name, Abby is just her newly given name.

But what we do know is that Abby is a total sweetheart. She

is very friendly, very gentle, and a very kind girl. Typical

of the Hound breed, she uses her nose extensively on a long

walk or out in the play area. And also typical of the breed,

once she gets plenty of exercise, shes ready for a long nap.

One final note: shes not an early riser in the morning.

Sleeping in late is her specialtyand the Foster Mom says

this is a real plus! To read more about Abby, to see all of

our adoptable pets, or to see our upcoming events, please

visit: www.ehrdogs.org or call: 973-664-0865.

Meet Norman from Eleventh Hour Rescue. When a volun-

teer visited a high-kill shelter to see what dogs could be

pulled and saved from being euthanized, Norman stood out.

Heres what that volunteer had to say on that very fateful

day: He was in death's waiting room. Half hairless, emaci-

ated, deaf, with an anal tumor, he could barely walk, and

was tested as heartworm positive which if left untreated, is

deadly. There is a still lot of vetting to follow up with but

he needs to gain strength and body mass first before expen-

sive surgeries and heartworm treatment can be performed.

I found him lying in his own urine barely moving when I

took him home to be his foster Mom. Just a few short

weeks later, he is my constant side kick here at home.

Norman continues to show great progress and he is gaining

strength every day. He has a kind and gentle soul and that

loving look in his eyes says everything you need to know

about him. The next phase of his medical treatments will

begin soon. To read more about Norman, to see our upcom-

ing events, or to make a donation, please visit:

www.ehrdogs.org or call: 973-664-0865.

Meet Gloria Judd from Eleventh Hour Rescue. She is asweet and friendly, 2 year old pit bull mix and looking for

someone to share her life with. She is very affectionate and

wags her tail and whole body when she sees you. She is

housebroken and wonderful in the house. She loves to play

yet she can also be a couch potato as well. She loves every-

one she meets and deserves a home where someone will

love her back. And one more note from a temporary foster

homeshe prefers to sleep on the bed with you at night, so

you may want a king sized bed if you adopt this beautiful

girl. To read more about Gloria Judd, to see all of our

adoptable pets, to see out upcoming events, please visit:

Now that summer is here, its time to fire up the grill.

For many, a cookout isnt complete without a juicy,

delicious hamburger. Even those trying to follow a

healthier, natural diet can enjoy this classic summer favorite

by using the right ingredients.

Mitzi Dulan, a nationally recognized nutrition and well-

ness expert and team sports nutritionist for the Kansas City

Royals, understands the importance of building a better

burger using leaner, healthier ingredients that benefit the

body.

Lean beef is an integral part of a wholesome burger as

it provides essential nutrients and protein to keep you trim

and energized, Dulan said. In addition to choosing nutri-

tious ingredients, exercise portion control and practice

moderation to create an even healthier burger.

Dulan recommends considering these tips for building a

better burger:

Simple substitutions, such as using lean ground beef, can

create a protein-packed burger that is low-fat and has fewer

calories. Consider using natural brands, such as Lauras

Lean Beef, to kick start a delicious, healthy burger.

Keep in mind that lean beef cooks in 1/3 less time than

regular beef since it has less fat. So, adjust the cooking time

to match your method of grilling. To make the grilling

process as healthy as possible, substitute natural charcoal.

Products such as Big Green Egg Organic Lump Charcoal,

use organic hardwoods and burn more efficiently without

harsh chemicals or odors.

Try new, healthier toppings that add a unique twist of fla-

vor to your burger. Instead of ketchup, which can be loaded

with excess sugar and sodium, consider fresh salsa. Replace

mayonnaise with sliced avocado, which is a creamy, heart-

healthy alternative.

Use whole grain buns in place of white buns. Whole-

grains are absorbed slower by the body, meaning they do

not raise sugar levels as quickly and keep you feeling full

longer. This reduces the urge to eat larger portions or snack

after a meal.
