Hackettstown High School Golf Team on Par
By Josh Lashley uring practices, members of the Hackettstown High School golf program worked diligently to improve upon the areas of the sport that needed to be sharpened. In matches and in tournaments, the Tigers competed to the best of their abilities and proved to be sturdy challenges for even the toughest opponents. Those are great attributes for any team to possess and what makes it even more special is to realize that the Tigers enjoyed themselves on the course throughout the spring as well. Hackettstown head coach Mike Andrusin is proud of the
spirit and mental toughness with which the student-athletes on his roster played this year. He recalls some of the top performances from the 2013 season. Our last match of the year was a loss to Madison by one shot 171-170, Andrusin said. Madison just came off a (NJSIAA) Tournament of Champions performance a few days earlier so we all knew they had talent, plus they beat us last year by nine shots and only lost two seniors. We
Fr. Clarence Sickles and the 10 Commandments

By Jane Primerano o most people, the 10 Commandments are those they learned in Sunday School. However, exactly what they learned depended on which Sunday School they attended, and most folks dont know that. Fr. Clarence Sickles, a retired Episcopal priest, learned about 10 years ago most people also dont know which set of Commandments is posted on the Northhampton County, Pa., Courthouse, even after a controversy about their appropriateness landed them on the front page of a daily newspaper. Those are the Jewish Commandments,
were without our No. 1 and No. 4 player that day and our guys were thinking lets play our last high school match and just have fun. We ended up posting our lowest round at Panther Valley CC this season, 171 or 27 over par as a team. Peter Mahal posted a season- best for himself shooting two over par 38. Kyle Chesney played better than his average and shot 42. We also got unexpected scores of 46 from continued on page 4

he said in a recent interview in the lobby of Heath House, the retirement community he founded and now calls home with his wife, Jean. Most people might think all the Commandments are Jewish, but Sickles notes there are two versions of the tablets Moses brought down from Mount Sinai (think Charlton Heston in the movie). In addition, official Judaism made a few tweaks as well. The disparity in versions, plus the knowledge that most people dont even remember the commandments, even Episcopalians who, through the use of the continued on page 6

ere comes summer! Most of us are dreaming of long lazy days of warm sunshine and fun-filled, family activities. School is out and the sound of childrens boisterous fun fills our neighborhoods. You may not notice another sound that begins as a rumble and then moves to a loud growl. This is the sound of a hungry child. Throughout the school year, hungry children are supported by school-based programs. When school is out for the summer, parents need to stretch their already strained budgets to feed their children for the long summer days. St. James Episcopal Church in Hackettstown has been filling this gap for families in the greater Hackettstown area for the past five years. Each year, they provide large bags of food to hungry children every two weeks throughout the summer. United Way of Northern New Jersey has been a faithful partner in this mission, providing major funding for the Summer Backpack Program. The United Way and St. James have collected and raised enough food last summer over $26,000 worth - to meet the needs of our areas children. With continued economic pressure, the program grew to serving 270 children as many formerly middle class families could not make ends meet. St. James champions food-raising, last year collecting $12,000 worth of food. The United Way of Northern New Jersey supplied the funding for the rest of the budget. The food drive begins with the
St. James' Summer Backpack Help Needed

Hackettstown Memorial Day Parade as church members start the Peanut Butter drive by collecting jars from onlookers along the parade route. The summer program also receives donations of fresh produce from local farms like Tranquility Farms, Little Wing Gardens, retailers like SAMs Club and from individual backyard gardens. Hot Bagels Abroad and Valley Bagel provide warm fresh bagels. Last year the Summer Backpack Program was blessed with an angel donor who donated enough boxes of cereal, canned vegetables, soup, pancakes mix, macaroni n cheese, meals-in-a-can, tuna fish and canned chicken to feed all our children for the last three weeks of the summer. Now St. James Episcopal Church is calling all angels big and small to come forward to help us prepare for this summer. We are looking for both corporate sponsors and private donors. We welcome all volunteers to help us shop, pack and give the bags to our client families. This program is perfect for groups, families and young children. To volunteer or donate please contact Linda DeLoreto at 908-763-1634 or email summerbackpack@gmail.com.

I was going into this match not thinking the final score would come down to the last group on the course, but it did. What an exciting unexpected way to finish the year. Our best team score for the year came at Mount Tabor CC against Morris Tech. The match was a victory for us 166-208. The highlight was Cameron Hogan shooting the low round of the year, even par 36. He made an eagle two on the par 4 first hole and his reaction was one I or the team will never forget. The senior class definitely made a good impression for the Tigers this spring. We had a great group of seniors this year, eight in total and five who were regularly in the lineup, Andrusin said. Three in particular stand out as the glue of the team. Chesney, Mahal and Hogan have anchored the squad for the last two seasons and have all been a part of back to back NJAC (Northwest Jersey Athletic Conference) Freedom Division Championships (2011-2012). All three have a quest to get better and bring that desire to the rest of the team. All three have been selected first Team All- Freedom Division

performers in their varsity careers. Kyle was selected to his third first Team All Freedom Division and both Peter and Cameron have been selected twice first Team All Freedom Division. The three of them didn't care where I put them in the lineup. They pushed each other and the team to compete and score lower. A number of other student-athletes on the roster also made noticeable improvements to their golf games throughout the season. Dan Makarevich along with the three seniors listed above all dropped their scoring average by at least one shot from last years totals, Andrusin said. Our last two lineup spots were an open competition all spring. Senior Evan Bolling and Anya Cerniglia took control of those spots halfway through the year and finished strong. Cerniglia medaled at the H/W/S (Hunterdon Warren/Sussex) Girls Championships in April. Camporini, sophomore Matt DiMarzo and Thomas all gained varsity experience in the lineup this spring. Hackettstown finished the season with an overall record of 14-7, including a 10-4 record in the Freedom Division. They also placed seventh in the Hunterdon/Warren/Sussex Tournament and
10th in the NJAC Tournament. The contributions of the class of 2013 will be missed, but not forgotten. It will be tough to say goodbye to this group of fine people, Andrusin said. They all have contributed to back to back Freedom Division Championships in 2011 and 2012, qualified for (NJSIAA) State Sectionals three years in a row and dropped their own and team averages three years in

a row. I inherited a really good group of players when I took this job in 2011. We had top players as seniors in 2011 and 2012 and this spring is no different. The championship banner in the gym and plaques on the wall will never go away. They can appreciate their mark on this program and they all will be missed next spring.

Imagine 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 same token would you believe that chiropractic treatments could be performed using a special hand-held instrument developed by NASA scientists; all while you were sitting in an upright position without turning or twisting movements? Advances in computers and engineering technologies have been able to uniquely blend with chiropractic in order to both analyze and treat the human body in such a way that was never before realized. According to Dr. Michael S. Hyjek, This new form of computerized treatment is so gentle and effective, that it amazes even the most skeptical patients. Its called the ProAdjuster and is the latest, state-of-the-art technology in existence today, and the only one in the Long Valley area The ProAdjuster can safely and gently analyze and treat the spine and other joints to remove the nerve impingement that is often the cause of pains in the low back, neck, shoulder and elsewhere in the body. It also works on a variety of muscular conditions 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 insurance companies including medicare. Dr. Michael S. Hyjek, the secret to the ProAdjuster lies in its advanced piezoelectric sensor that is able to detect the slightest amount of restriction in a joint and then deliver an extremely precise adjustment.

The book, The New Ten Comandments, with an Account of the Historical Development of the Mosaic Decalogue, was self-published and is being distributed primarily by Sickles. His audience is not only the Episcopalians he led through many years of parish ministry, but anyone in the JudeoChristian tradition who doesnt know the history of the Commandments. Sickles said he found six or seven books on the Decalogue, none of which he considered very good. He researched Biblical scholarship and discovered very little evi-

dence of when changes were made, even in St. Augustines writings. He also discovered neither Jesus nor St. Paul mentioned the first few commandments as if sure everyone knew them intimately. Im a parish priest, not a scholar, Sickles said. There werent any courses on the Commandments when he attended seminary, although he did take a class on them about six years ago. He also read extensively in the works of Philo and Josephus, two first century Jewish Historians But more than doing research on the original versions of the Commandments, Sickles decided to write a version he considers more relevant to today. His New Ten Commandments: I. Honor the source of creation II. Perform by high standards
III. Keep promises and agreements IV. Plan time for recreation V. Obey sound authority VI. Protect others from hurt and harm VII. Live a moral and healthful life VIII. Safeguard the property of others IX. Practice honesty and justice X. Be content with what you have At 92, Sickles isnt resting on the laurels of his first book. He has written a childrens book, The Happy Christmas Tree, which is
being published through Ex Libris. Once that is done, both books will be available on the Internet. He is working on a second childrens book, based on a story he used to tell his eight children when they were small. Sickles is also researching a book on the Trinity, although, Im not sure I have the energy for it. Anyone who talks to him believes he really does.

Hackettstown Musician Offering Free Lessons, Instrument Donations, And A Helpful Hand
saxophone, mandolin, ukelele, or guitar, and more. He has received many donations of instruments thus far, and even if they are broken, "I will gladly take them," he said. And with this instrument sharing, he would like to show students that there are many options with all of the types of instruments he may have. It will likely show them that people are in fact donating to his cause. Leonhardt tries to get to know recipients of the instruments before he donates an instrument to them. He tries to find out if they really have an interest in playing a musical instrument and a need for it - that way he can determine if recipients, on occassion, simply would want to acquire an instrument for the purpose of selling it - which is not part of the purpose. Leonhardt has a true interest in music himself. He writes songs almost every other day, for example, and eventually has a lot of songs to choose from. With his students, he notes that he will "try to approach it so that they play things that they want to play." And he also has an interest in doing the good deed of helping soldiers with PTSD or brain injuries. This good deed will certainly help soldiers and veterans, who deserve a hand from their community. In addition he would like to help the Hackettstown community and region "to be more fine-arts friendly." He said he is really trying to spread about what it is he is doing, and, in fact, increased his "likes" on facebook from 30 to 1,100 since earlier this year. Right now, of course, Leonhardt has no "brick and mortar" structure, no store-
By Ejvind Boccolini Hackettstown resident is offering a good deed - the gift of music - to those who are interested in music lessons and instruments. Shawn Leonhardt is making quite a name for himself with his Institute of Sound. Leonhardt accepts donations of musical instruments and then distributes them to individuals in need, who perhaps cannot afford to buy them. He also offers free music lessons on many instruments, helping those who may not otherwise be able to afford private lessons. Leonhardt, originally from Indiana, and now residing in Hackettstown, recently started his non-profit charity and has been sharing his knowledge and inspiration to others in the community and beyond. In a phone interview last week, Leonhardt said he is asking for donations to fund his organization, and is looking to be known across north Jersey and perhaps, one day, nationally. As a musician, he started on guitar, and now writes on guitar and mandolin, and would like to eventually have a storefront to run his non-profit organization, and it could be a songwritng studio as well. Leonhardt said with the lessons he offers, he would first go to a student's location/home, and then when students feel comfortable they can come to his home/location. Since he recently started the organization, it has "really, really grown," he said. "I want to show everyone what I'm doing," he said. He wants to get others involved with keyboards, clarinet,
front, that he can call his location for Institute of Sound. But eventually, he has the goal of having his own establishment. "Things are really moving forward," he said. He notes that he has the knack to do almost any repair, for instance, and if guitars need bridges, or if they are not playable, he accepts donations anyway. Clarinets, for instance, that are in need of pads or recorking, can be fixed. His contact information is instituteofsound@yahoo.com, and those interested can look up Institute of Sound on Facebook as well. Facebook has really helped him out, he said, and he is trying to get the word out to newspapers, and radio stations as well. He has an interest to "do as good as I can for my community." His heartfelt good deeds can perhaps show that friendliness and harmony is a good path. He said, his goal is "Tutoring adults and children in the world of music - specializing in lessons, repairs, consulting on purchases, and songwriting. Instrument donations (in any condition) are welcomed and needed! Please help those who cannot afford to play music!" Referring to the legal description of his organization, Leonhardt said "Institute of Sound is a sponsored project of Fractured Atlas, a non-profit arts service organization. Contributions for the charitable purposes of Institute of Sound are tax-deductible to the extent permitted by law." He added, "people can make tax deductible contributions for Institute of Sound, they just have to do it through continued on next page
Tell Them You Saw It In The Hackettstown News, June 2013, Page 9 continued from previous page my sponsor until I have the money to pay IRS fees to get 501c (3) myself." Quite simply, he has the the passion to "teach music to anyone and everyone. I will do my best to provide free instruments and musical instruction to those who cannot afford it." Leonhardt said his goal with his charity is to donate refurbished musical instruments and give free lessons, and adds that if individuals are wishing to be a professional musician or to musically compete, "then weekly paid lessons at a studio are the best option." Students, young or old, with just an interest, goal, or hobby of music, however, may not be able to afford this, and he can help. Leonhardt said he puts the teaching in the hands of the student, by first showing the basic entry playing and care skills. "The next important step is guiding them in how to take control of the advancement of their musical abilities," he said. Resources on the internet can help individuals continue learning on their own. Getting parents involved in the teaching process can be a "perfect parent/child bonding activity," he said. Leonhardt also added that he works to find an instrument for the student and get them started - and always tries to be available if the student wants to contact him with any questions. Leonhardt is quite open-minded and considerate when he says, "This charity grows more everyday and I am always open to any comments, input, and of course any kind of help. Help spread some music is what I say!" He also notes that he is skilled, but not an expert at everything. "Some instruments I receive to donate, I have never played or repaired before, however, I have a knack at figuring them out very quick," he said, adding that he is best at teaching and breaking down musical theory. Leonhardt is interested in being a teacher who can find an answer for what the student seeks. "My goal in my community is to donate instruments and lessons, while on a national level I hope people are interested and like what I am doing. No matter where you are, if you want to learn to play music, just message (me) and I will point you in the most affordable and easy path there is," he said. "Leonhardt said, "Eventually I wish to build this into something very big. Often people say why not continue schooling and become a band teacher? Well I have bigger goals than that and the structure I would be required of, is not for me. Same with opening a music store... yes, like everyone, I need basic bills paid and insurance, but I am not a 'profit' type person. I want to give away music, I feel it should be free. I would rather work hard at fundraising, than trying to run a regular store. I would like to help instrument sharing programs everywhere. Any instruments, repair supplies, parts, or money donated will be transparent and put to good use. I am a very hardworking individual and I want Institute of Sound to be my life's work. I have many personal music projects I am working on and any money I may one day make, I will put as much as I can back into Institute of Sound. I put my own money into it already. If anyone is truly interested in what I am doing and wishes to donate, I will answer any more questions. I will also gladly provide musical services. If you are a business that needs a jingle written, I am an excellent songwriter. Just ask... If it has to do with music... just ask. "

Centenary College Launches New Academic Programs, Capital Improvements, And Wins Equestrian Awards In Early 2013
sponsored by the United States Equestrian Federation (USEF), as the events most outstanding rider at the Intercollegiate Horse Show Association (IHSA) championship.The individual champion was Cori Reich, under the direction of Tara Clausen. Patterson said he was "just delighted" at the news of their success. Reich, a native of Ivyland, Pa., wil now have the opportunity to train with world-renowned equestrian coaches this summer. Also, the college opened up a new environmental center, and they have "just done wonders with that," said Patterson. Centenary College and the New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection celebrated the opening of the Centenary College Environmental Science Center at the Charles O. Hayford Fish Hatchery in Hackettstown on May 9. This Environmental Science Center, which features an innovative laboratory, classroom and faculty research space, will serve as an experiential learning facility for Environmental Science students. A press release from the college states that the College and the hatchery have partnered to support and preserve the goals of the New Jersey Division of Fish and Wildlife as Centenary students have volunteered or completed internships each semester at the Hatchery. Students will learn from experts how to address wildlife management, the operations of the facility, and the fish restocking efforts across the state, so this new partnership is a natural extension of that relationship, college officials said. As a result of this initiative, Centenary students, under the supervision of Dr. Lauren Bergey, Associate Professor of Biology, and Dr. Joseph Bucci, Assistant Professor of
By Ejvind Boccolini n a phone interview last week, Provost Jim Patterson said Centenary College is launching several new programs which add to an impressive early part of 2013. First, a new healthcare administration program is to be launched. "We're looking forward to that," he said. He said they made the hire to prepare the courses, and added, "we're very excited with that." This, he said, is the "best new academic program we're working on." He also said the college received an $800,000 grant, and they will be renovating Church Street and putting sidewalks down the entire length of the street leading up to the school. There will also be a bike path, benches, and lights. This state grant is considered to be for a transportation enhancement program for sidewalk and streetscape improvements. "This project, which will commence in 2014, will be a collaborative project with the town of Hackettstown," said Dr. Barbara-Jayne Lewthwaite, Centenary College president. She added that the improvements will be "designed to stimulate Main Street activity by our students and encourage residents of Hackettstown to walk to the Centenary campus events that are open to the community." "It will also alleviate current safety issues when walking on Church Street," she said, adding that it will improve street safety. In other college news, the Centenary College equestrian team won the national championship in May, being named the American National Riding Champion Team of 2013. And for the third time in five years, a Centenary College student won the coveted USEF/Cacchione Cup, which is
Biology, will have hands-on experience in the field. "This is a win/win experience for all involved and will provide students in aur newly launched Environmental Science program with state of the art resources where they can gain valuable hands-on experience," said Dr. BarbaraJayne Lewthwaite, President of Centenary College. Finally, the Centenary College graduation was held May 18 and Valedictorian Allison Nowicki spoke at the graduation noting that, the Chinese philosopher, Lao Tzu once said, At the center of your being, you have the answer! You know who you are, you know what you want. We all have choices to make, plans to fulfill. We are continuing down a beautiful journey that will challenge us along the way, but no matter what, we will all come through with purpose. In the end, its just us and what matters is seeing the beauty in the moment, the inspiration in every path we choose. As we go forth on another step of our journey, lets choose to be happy. Lets not be delicate but vast and brilliant. Lets not only find our purpose in the big picture, not only when life is going well, but in the (smallest) moments and our most challenging times. "As we leave this familiar place, this place we know as home, remember that to be outstanding we must be comfortable with being uncomfortable. Lets challenge ourselves to take risks, be brave." "Here we are on the final leg of our journey and although the choices we've made and the paths we followed to get here are all different, it took perserverence, dedication and plenty of hard work along the way. For many of us the journey involved hours spent in the library, weeks of continued on next page
continued from previous page research, and many nights up until the small hours of the morning. Sacrifices were made along the way, but today, standing at the pinnacle of our educational experience, it is all worthwhile." "None of us have embarked on this odyssey alone. Through the support of our loving families, diligent professors, and caring friends, we have all made it! To these people in my life I am truly grateful." "Every experience, encounter, and person we have met along the way has helped to shape our views of the world and our views of ourselves. We achieved our
goals from our support system and an innate desire to succeed. We are spurred forward by another element-crucial yet intangible: inspiration." "Webster defines inspiration as 'a divine influence or action on a person believed to qualify him or her to receive and communicate sacred revelation.'" "However, we all have our own ideas about what it means. Some of us have seen inspiration in others, and the kindness they have shown us, while some have seen it in the beauty of the world through the blessings we've received," she said.

o you remember the Great Depression? Did you witness the fall of the Berlin Wall? Did you watch Armstrong walk on the Moon? Your neighbor may have. A volunteer driven community program has been active in Northwest New Jersey for the past two years. Called the Life Book Writing Project, it matches volunteers with community members who wish to record their life experiences. The program is free of charge and aims to capture ones history by having volunteers conduct oral interviews with seniors and transcribing them into a bound Life Book. Our older seniors have lived through some of the most dramatic events in world history. To lose that firsthand account of history would be wasting a valuable resource that we would never get back says Nancy Hess, Director of Skylands RSVP, a Rockaway based volunteer resource center. RSVP is part of a national program sponsored locally by NORWESCAP, a community action program active in Northwest New Jersey The interviewers, using digital voice
Senior Memoirs Tell Wonderful Stories

recorders loaned to them by the organization, are trained in interviewing skills and in working with older adults. The next training for volunteer interviewers/writers is scheduled in Morris County. The training provides the volunteers with questions to ask as well as tips for active listening. Each completed book is presented as a gift to the senior. Some give these memoirs to family members, others plan to donate them to the local library or historical society, and some just want to hold onto them as a reminder of their life. One recipient was so pleased with the result that he considered self publishing his Life Book. Amazing historical stories are locked into the memories of many of our seniors. Its especially wonderful when these are unlocked for family and friends. Not too long ago a grateful recipient wrote a letter to the volunteer after the completion of the Life Book. The note read in part: I want you to know how much I appreciated your help and guidance with my biography. You made a mostly uneventful life book more interesting than it was. It will not make it to the NY Times Best Seller List, but it will make it into the hearts of an appreciative family, friends and me. Training for new volunteers who want to put their interviewing, writing and editing skills to use in the community will take place at Skylands RSVP's office in Rockaway.

Thomas Edison The Dad Allowed Electric Shock Toys And Home Fireworks
Edison admirers want to peer into the personal history of his family life along with the history of his great inventions. What these personal articles have rendered was that the Edison Family enjoyed using prank toys on their guests and igniting small explosives for entertainment. The NPS curators have helped present the fun mischievous side of the Edison Family by displaying these items to the public. Mina Edison supported these activities for her family in the late 1890s. She added the Electric Thriller to the Christmas Toy list. The Electric Thriller was an electric shock toy. The park curators have showcased this item as part of the Christmas Holiday exhibit collection. Thomas Edison had a legendary childhood history for accidentally exploding things such as - vacant train cars and the family basement room from his novice chemistry experiments. This continued into his adulthood when he attempted to invent a gun-powder powered engine for a helicopter. It became a scrapped project when this invention exploded inside his factory lab. Still, his dangerous reputation with explosives did not deter him for having his own familys stash of fireworks for the July 4th celebration which he stated was his favorite holiday. Madeline, Charles and Theodore were Edisons younger children from his second wife Mina. They got to have memorable childhoods at the Glenmont estate home and a chance to enjoy their fathers orchestrated firework celebrations both at

Many of the familys personal letters, records and diaries have been preserved and even scanned, categorized and electronically archived by the dedicated Thomas Edison Papers Project team at Rutgers University (edison.rutgers.edu). The other curators of his home and home furnishings have come under the care of professional National Park Service ranger curators. The NPS West Orange Glenmont home has also received great private community support from The Friends of Thomas Edison (foedison.org) to preserve the artifacts that belong to Edisons personal family history. Time has lost the local West Orange, NJ residents that would give firsthand accounts of social interactions by the Edison family. However, there is a wealth of family items left behind that we can still sense the spirit and personality of Thomas Edison, Mina Edison and their three children growing up in the West Orange estate home.
