Four Decades, Trinity Thrift Shop

Fulfills A Dual Mission
By Jane Primerano
rinity United Methodist Church Thrift Shop has
long been a presence on Main Street,
Hackettstown, but when Maureen Storey was hired
as director she brought some welcome changes.
Some 41 years ago, Trinity had a rummage sale and
had lots of things left over, so someone got the idea to start
a thrift shop. At first in the basement of one of the churchs
buildings and only open a few hours a week, the shop is
now in a bright store front next to the church offices.
When Storey arrived in July 2013, she determined a
few changes had to be made. First, all items had to be
priced. Second the thrift shop smell had to go. Moving
items around opened up the space, so it is now a bright little shop.
Trinity gets so many donations a stable of volunteers
could work around the clock to sort them. Items not
deemed good enough to sell at the shop are donated to a
secondary sorter that ships clothing to the needy based on
climate. Bedding and towels that wont sell go to Eleventh
Hour rescue and other animal protection groups.
Storey and the volunteers have a good idea what will
stay on the racks forever, Anything with shoulder pads is
out, she said.
We dont take some electronics, Storey said indicating with her hands giant CRT television sets. Other items,
if they dont work, are donated to the workshop at
Abilities to be repaired if possible. Books that dont sell
are donated to an on-line bookseller who returns a percentage to the thrift shop. Certain metal items are recycled.
We cant take baby items here, they are too big and we
cant sanitize them, she said, adding federal guidelines
rapidly change so the shop would have to keep up with
recalls, but they do work with pregnancy centers.
An affiliation with Haiti includes sending items that
can be repaired and resold. Yarn donated to the shop is
given to the Prayer Shawl ministry. Shawls are given to
people who need prayers. Occasionally they get a call
from the battered womens shelter and provide items
needed by the women who end up there.
Sometimes people donate items good enough to sell on
eBay, including gold, diamonds, fur coats and vintage
clothing and linens.
We get collectable dolls, good china, she said. Now
we have limited edition Wedgewood. We get vintage hats
and luggage, those always sell.

Business Plans To Hire Professional CAREGivers
s Americas aging population

grows, a local senior care company is gearing up to meet the
expected need for services. The Home
Instead Senior Care office serving
Hunterdon and Warren counties anticipates adding up to 75 to 100 professional
Certified Home Health Aides (CHHAs)
and CAREGiversSM to its staff by the end
of 2015.
By 2050, it is predicted that the senior
population will more than double from the
2010 numbers with a projected estimate of
88.5 million people aged 65 or older. As
these seniors age, they often need help
with their daily activities. In fact, about 29
percent of the U.S. population reports that
it currently spends an average of 20 hours
per week providing care for a chronically
ill, disabled or aging loved one. The
demand for professional caregivers will
continue to grow, as they are an important
component of the care continuum for sen-
iors.
Whether a senior just needs some help
running errands and doing some light
cooking and cleaning, or they need roundthe-clock care, having a professional
CAREGiver can make a huge difference in
the life of a senior and their family members, says Tracy Fazzolari, owner of the
Home Instead Senior Care office in
Hunterdon and Warren counties.
The type of person who typically
excels in this industry is compassionate
and enjoys helping others, she says.
Those are the main requirement for the
job.
Beyond that, they could be a recent
graduate, someone between jobs or someone who just wants to give back. Its really a broad range.
The home care jobs that are available
do not require prior training. Newly hired
individuals participate in the Home
Instead CAREGiver training program to
equip them with all the knowledge they

need to get started. CAREGivers also have
the opportunity to receive additional training throughout their careers in such areas
as Alzheimers care.
We keep up on all of the latest news
and industry standards in home care, says
Fazzolari. And our training program helps
to ensure that our CAREGivers are getting

the information they need to better support
seniors and their families.

Instead Senior Care network, visit

their favorite tunes uninterrupted
and without distracting others
around them. People often use earbuds

to the inner ear, which is the equivalent of
boosting it by nine decibels. Even moderately high volume can cause hearing loss.
Its important to keep the volume low and
to take frequent breaks when using earbuds. Keep earbud volume below 60 percent and wear them for no more than 60
minutes per day.

Local Blood Drives To Be Held
ew Jersey Blood Services is conducting local blood drives area

which is open to the public. The
following drives are scheduled:
June 19- Shoprite, Flanders; 1 p.m. to 7
p.m.
June 25- St. Francis Health Resort,
Denville; 1 p.m. to 7 p.m.

Netcong; 3 p.m. to 9 p.m.
June 30- Wyndham Hamilton Park Hotel,
Florham Park; noon to 6 p.m.
New Jersey Blood Services, a division of
New York Blood Center (NYBC) is asking
for help to maintain an adequate supply of
all blood types, but especially O-negativethe universal blood which can be transfused into anyone in an emergency. In addition, hundreds of additional blood drives
need to be scheduled to meet projected hospital demand. Current inventory of several
blood types is running below the desired
target level.
Its simple: hospital patient demand for

blood often outpaces our best efforts to
recruit donors and schedule blood drives,
said NYBC Executive Director of Donor
Recruitment Andrea Cefarelli. There are
always reasons but we have to overcome
that for the sake of hospital patients who
need us.
This is one of the toughest times of the
year, Cefarelli added. Were asking for
our dedicated supporters to roll up their
sleeves to make sure were able to provide
our hospital partners with whatever they
need to take care of their patients.
Blood products have a short shelf life,
from five to 42 days, so constant replenishment is necessary. Each and every day
there are patients who depend on the transfusion of red blood cells, platelets and plasma to stay alive. But blood and blood products cant be manufactured. They can only
come from volunteer blood donors who
take an hour to attend a blood drive or visit
a donor center.
To donate blood or for information on
how to organize a blood drive, call 1-800933-2566. Visit: www.nybloodcenter.org.
Trinity Thrift Shop...

continued from front page
She also noted, We have some ladies who are gifted in
putting outfits together. Others are good at measuring
and pricing fabric donated to the shop.
Because Trinity is known for such good donations,
antique dealers and pickers are frequent visitors, but
Storey and her volunteers do know what things are worth.
She posts some of the nicer items on the shops Facebook
page.
On a recent Tuesday, the shop featured a full set of blue
and white Pfaltzgraf, some pretty crystal, funky junk jewelry beads and plenty of brightly colored clothes.
The furniture annex is full of the larger items and also
has storage for pre-sorted items and for the needs of other
church ministries, such as Midnight Run, a joint ministry
with Centenary College.
A thrift shop can have some of the same problems of
any retail business. A large dry-erase calendar is on the
wall of the shops office with the schedule of the 95 volunteers. Fortunately, most of the volunteers have cell
phones and text message, making last-minute schedule
changes easier.
We have tag pullers, she said, meaning people who
remove the price tags, and theyll pressure the gals at the
counter. She said more of that went on before all items
were priced.
Storey instituted a strict no barter policy, which can

be a problem with recent immigrants from countries
where bartering is standard operating procedure.
Another policy is insist to assist, Storey said. Having
people walking around the floor helps keep shoplifting to
a minimum. There are also live security cameras.
Storey has been told the prices at Trinity are too low,
but, she said, they fit the profile of the people who come
in.
Were getting people from farther away, she said.
We are partly a destination.
Shes proud the thrift shop fits in with Hackettstowns
downtown. There are several re-sale and consignment
shops and a used bookstore that also carries LPs and
DVDs. Storey loves the downtown atmosphere in
Hackettstown with its farmers market at St. Marys
Church, sidewalk sales and shops open late on Thursdays.
Besides Storey there are three paid part-time assistants
as well as all the volunteers. With between 80 and 110
customers per day, Storey wants at least two volunteers on
duty at any given time.
The shop helps support the many missions of the
church offers, such as Hope in the Hills, a handyman service affiliated with Habitat for Humanity and Family
Promise which houses the homeless in rotation with other
area churches.

Flood Control Solutions For Property Owners
aritan Headwaters Association

(RHA) is on a mission to protect
clean water in the north and south
branch region of the Raritan River. For more
than 55 years, its goal has been to protect the
water families rely on every day. One of the
greatest threats to water is contamination
from storm water runoff and flooding.
Individual property owners can help alleviate these problems.
Even owners of small pieces of property
can help prevent flooding through the use of
a rain garden. What is a rain garden? It is a
low-lying vegetated depression, typically
three to six inches deep, with absorbent soils
that temporarily collect stormwater runoff
from impervious surfaces and allow the
runoff to slowly percolate into the soil.
Large or small, rain gardens should be
planted with native plants. As a general rule,
any plant described as Japanese, Oriental,
English, etc. is obviously not native to North
America and should be avoided.
Property owners can also help decrease
flooding and pollution through the size and
care of their lawns. Rather than striving for
a large carpet of green through the use of
pesticides and herbicides, consider reducing
the size of your lawn by 10 percent or more

and allow landscape to include more natives.
With a few simple steps, lawns will be
healthier and better able to absorb rainwater
when it falls.
The best flood protection for a stream,
however, is to be surrounded with a good
buffer area of woods, shrubs, wetlands, and
grasses to intercept contaminated runoff
before it reaches the water. The less
groomed this buffer area is, the more it
can perform its normal functions. If fortunate enough to have a stream or pond on
your property, dont mow within three feet
of the edge and allow the vegetation to grow
to a height of about three feet. Vegetation
allowed to grow along the banks of streams
and ponds prevents erosion and the related
silting in and flooding during heavy rain
events. Steep-banked streams require the
hearty protection of shrubs and trees that
provide shade, erosion control, temperature
regulation, and food sources for aquatic
wildlife.

project like those described here, visit

American Legion Post 164 Honors Veterans With New Flags

lected from the graves of veterans in
Union Cemetery each year, and then
properly disposed of in a ceremony held
the weekend before Memorial Day. The
ceremony was performed years ago, but
then it stopped for a while.
After seeing a ceremony performed in
Whippany for the Disposal of
Unserviceable Flags some years back,

Barry was inspired to re-introduce it to
Hackettstown.
Once I saw it, I said 'we have to do
that,'" Barry noted.
The ceremony for post 164 is open to
the public and attendance is encouraged.

Rich Barry of Hackettstown American Legion Post 164 and Karen Strover from the Ladies of the
Grand Army of the Republic give instructions to the many volunteers at the Union Cemetery.
By Ejvind Boccolini
he American Legion Post 164 of
Hackettstown remembers the
nation's veterans with an honorable ceremony each year after old flags
are replaced with new ones on veteran's
graves in Union Cemetery.
The practice of changing flags on
graves is performed by other posts as
well, but not all perform the elaborate
and community-oriented ceremony like
the Hackettstown post does.
It is a good way to honor veterans,
indeed, and some years back, this ceremony - the Disposal of Unserviceable
Flags - was re-introduced to the
Hackettstown Post 164 by Americanism
Chair and past commander Rich Barry. It
is now held annually at Post 164 on
Willow Grove Street, and it was held on
Sun. evening, May 17, this year.
A resident of Hackettstown since the
late 1960s, Barry said the old flags,
"unserviceable" flags, which may be
torn, dirty or discolored after time and
the elements weather them a bit, are col-

the public and attendance is encouraged.

We're always trying to get the word out," said Barry.
He also wanted to let citizens know that unserviceable flags may be dropped off at the legion 24/7.
These flags collected from the public and the many
flags collected from gravesites of veterans in Union
Cemetery each year are included in the ceremony. New
flags are posted at the gravesites, and this helps all to
remember to continually honor the veterans for their
incredible courage and sacrifice.
The graves of veterans are from World War I, World
War II, the Korean War, and Vietnam. American Legion
Post 164, with help from area scouts of Mansfield and
Long Valley, collect the flags each year and replace
them with the new flags at the gravesites.
This is a noble thing, because it helps to acknowledge the bravery of all veterans, and remember their
service and honored for their strength.
At the ceremony for the disposal of unserviceable
flags, post 164 typically has a huge stack of flags, sometime piled five feet high or a bit more, on a metal frame.
"To clean and purging flame we commit these flags,
worn-out in worthy service," it is said during the ceremony before the flags are burned for their proper disposal in this rite.
Also, it is said during the ceremony, that "a flag may
be a flimsy bit of printed gauze, or a beautiful banner of
finest silk. Its intrinsic value may be trifling or great;
but its real value is beyond price, for it is a precious
symbol of all that we and our comrades have worked for
and lived for, and died for - a free nation of free men,
true to the faith of the past, devoted to the ideals and
practice of Justice, Freedom and Democracy.
There are about 750 flags, plus between 150 and 200
from Civil War veterans buried at Union Cemetery.
There are also some graves from the Revolutionary War.
The approximately 750 new replacement flags are
supplied by the Morris County Veterans Service
Officers (since Union Cemetery is technically in Morris
County). The Ladies of Grand Army of the Republic
provide flags for the Civil War veterans. They get a different flagstick - a black one.
Barry thanked the Hackettstown Fire Department as
well for their help during the event.
"I wouldn't dare think to do it without their protection," he said.
Barry said each time they do the ceremony, he contacts fire inspectors, eight officials, and they pull a
"pumper" right up to the field.
Barry also thanked the Colonial Musketeers,
Hackettstown's award-winning fife and drum corps,
who perform at the ceremony. They opened with the
National Anthem, and Barry said he was "very proud of
them" and very pleased with their contribution to the
ceremony. The Colonial Musketeers were honored with
a proclamation from the town council in Hackettstown
recently, recognizing them with 40 years of service.
"Each year thousands of flags are collected at the

Post. These flags and those displayed on the Graves of
our Veterans when faded, torn or otherwise unserviceable must be replaced. This Ceremony provides an
opportunity to dispose of unserviceable flags in the
proper manner.
Flags can be placed in the receptacle at the Legion at
any time.

Enjoy Fresh Favorite Mexican Cuisine And Unique,

Hand-Crafted Cultural Treasures
By Cheryl Conway
ts only in downtown Chester, but with just one step
inside Fresco Mexican Restaurant guests will be swept
away into a world that is easy to describe as charming,
inviting, fresh and bright.
From the warm welcome by owners as customers walk
through the door, to the bright, bold dcor with its colorful
paintings on the walls, bright blue tables and chairs along
with the relaxing music and the tasty, fresh cuisine, Fresco
Mexican offers a wonderful atmosphere for dining day or
night. But the experience does not end there as right next
door, customers can shop for the most fabulous collection
of handcrafted art at their Boutique Random Acts of Fresco.
Voted top three in the 2015 Readers Choice Awards for
Best Restaurants and Food by Morris Essex Health and
Life magazine, Fresco Mexican restaurant on Main Street
in Chester offers a distinctive menu with a variety of
favorites from Mexico.
Opened in Chester since 2010, the first restaurantFresco- had been located in Flanders since 2006. Owners
Marco Rojas and Carlos Cervantes joined their years of
passion to establish one of the finest Mexican area restaurants.
Rojas, from Guadalajara Mexico, developed his regional style of Mexican cooking in his mothers kitchen. It was
there where he learned how to use the fresh produce,

cheese, and meats from the local merchants.
Relocated to New Jersey in the late eighties, Rojas
expanded his skills of international cuisine working as
executive chef at The Black Horse Pub in Mendham and
The Short Hills Club in Short Hills.
I named our restaurant Fresco (fresh) because there
really is no other way, Rojas says on his website.
Cervantes, from Key West, started his career in hotels at
the famed Pier House Beach Club and Resort. After moving to NJ in 1988, Carlos managed various restaurants
throughout the northern NJ area; including 15 years at The
Madison Hotel in Morristown as a sales and catering manager.
The two joined forces in 2006 with Fresco in Flanders,
moved to Chester four years later, and then one year later,
in 2011, opened up a unique gift shop right next doorRandom Acts of Fresco - featuring hand-crafted artisan
imports from countries such as Mexico, Peru, Guatemala,
Haiti, India and Ecuador.
Unlike various countries represented at the boutique, the
restaurant features all Mexican specialties. For drink, customers can bring their own alcohol, and add to the restaurants fresh made non-alcoholic margarita mix. Mexican
sodas are available, but the Hibiscus Iced Tea made from
the dry flower is most refreshing. Guests can buy a bag full
of the flowered leaves at the restaurant and at Random Acts
of Fresco to make their own at home.
The best, homemade tortilla chips with salsas such as
mild chipotle and tomatillo salsa with cilantro comes next.
Chilled Gazpacho, a cold tomato soup with cucumbers and
chopped vegetable garnish of peppers and onions is popular to start.
continued on next page
continued from previous page
If dining with another, the Bocadillo Platter appetizer is
a great one to share as it includes three specialties- Chicken
Empanadas, Beef Taquitos, and Guacamole that is chunky
style and as fresh as it gets.
The Sangrita Chicken Salad comes marinated in homemade orange-tomato dressing, and includes crisp greens,
grapes, avocado, fried plantains, spiced pecans and fresh
orange.
For an entre, the Shrimp Al Pastor Molcajete is a house
specialty served hot in a bubbling Aztec Stone Dish, which
can also be purchased at the boutique next door. Enjoy
fresh, full of flavor shrimp combined with chorizo, and
fresh pineapple with poblano peppers, and onions in a spicy
ancho chili sauce; and accompanied with Mexican rice,
refried beans, and homemade tortillas. Preparations of this
dish change weekly.
Some other entrees on the menu include burritos, paninis, tacos, and wraps all popular for lunch; and a variety of
dishes like enchiladas, chimichangas, chile relleno, nachos
and so many dishes varying chicken, pork, steak, shrimp
and vegetarian.
On the kids menu, young guests can enjoy favorites like
salchipulpo, quesadillas, nachos and more.
Whether an appetizer, entre, dessert or a drink, presentation is eye appealing.
The Pastel de Tres Leches which is a moist vanilla cake
soaked in three types of milk and brandy, with a layer of
white icing, swirled chocolate sauce on the plate and two

sliced strawberries. Sharing is not recommended, as it is
that good and definitely worth the calories.
Fresco Mexican also collaborates with The Sweet Spot
Bake Shoppe down the street in Chester, offering their
Chocolate Coffee Brownie Pops and Lime Margarita bars.
Cervantes is working on adding Margarita Cheesecake to
his dessert menu.
Once the owners were settled in their new restaurant,
they started to research the idea for a boutique next door,
says Cervantes. Just one year later, Random Acts of Fresco
opened its doors.
Random Fresco started with Mexican art, so he and his
partners visited Mexico and came back with fabulous finds,
all purchased from wonderful artists throughout the region.
Random has since expanded to other countries and filled up
the boutique with Ecuadorian jewelry; textiles and embroidered pillows from Guatemala; scarves from India; Haitian
metal art made from discarded 55 gallon steel oil drums
recycled into wall dcor like a giant sunflower; Impressive
pottery; and upscale jewelry with gold and pearls featuring
artists from New York and Boston.
Customers stand in awe at the selection and variety, such
as heart sconces made from iron, Day of The Dead Art like
the painted ceramic skulls and skull wine stoppers, a fan
favorite, Mexican mirrors with tin roses made out of recycled aluminum, leather and fabric handbags, woven belts
from India, a pig sculpture with four pigs standing on top of
the other, iridescent glasses made from blow fused glass in

Mexico, authentic Mexican saddle purses, printed scarves,
decorative plates, candles, table runners, picture frames,
statues, vases, colorful necklaces, earrings, bracelets, and so
much more.
Customers will also appreciate the later hours and outside dining in the front patio open as the weather permits
from spring to the fall.
Eat, Eat, Eat Shop, Shop, Shop, Cervantes stresses.
Hours are Sun. Thurs., 10:30 a.m. 9 p.m.; Fri. and
Sat., 10:30 a.m. 10 p.m. For more information or to view
the menu, visit Frescomexican.com; or call 908-955-7222.

Yaw told the college community of his

of their dedication that our academic programs are so widely recognized in the
state and even around the nation.

retirement of CCMs first president, Dr.
Sherman H. Masten. Yaw first joined

CCM in 1980 as Dean of Academic
Affairs. Prior to that, he served as
Associate Dean of Academic Affairs at
Adelphi University in New York.
Under his leadership, CCM has
become one of the states leading community colleges. As a result of his vision
and guidance, the college has one of the
highest combined transfer and graduation
rates among community colleges in New
Jersey. Students and faculty also are regularly presented with awards and honors
for their accomplishments.
In addition, Yaw has played an instrumental role in shaping higher education
in NJ through his work on professional
and educational councils. During his
service as chair of the NJ Presidents

Church Collects Peanut Butter

For Needy
arades in Hackettstown follow parade

traditions, with the fire department,
marching bands, and local organizations. All of the churches march, providing
music and singing of the joy of God.
And then there is one church carrying
peanut butter. Is that a metaphor for a
smooth life? Who are they and why do they
carry peanut butter?
At St. James Episcopal Church, the
church feeds more than 350 children
through its Summer Backpack Program.
This program provides bags of childfriendly groceries every two weeks to
needy children from the area.
During the school year the needy children of Hackettstown receive food at
school from other programs. However,
during the summer months these strapped
families must now absorb the additional

food costs back into their meager budgets.
Donations of peanut butter jars and jelly
are collected at the parades by St. James.
Last year the generous people of
Hackettstown brought 90 jars.
To volunteer for the Backpack program
please call 908-852-3968.
For more information about this program
or any of St. James other outreach missions
visit http://stjameshackettstown.org.
St. James Episcopal Church is an open,
inclusive and caring faith community that
embraces diversity and celebrates the joy of
Christ. All are welcome to find a spiritual
home in the Episcopal church.
Weekly Sunday services at 8 a.m. and 10
a.m. led by the Rev. Arthur Guy Fouts.

scoop. Place on tray and add watermelon
balls to serve.

First Annual Team Bloke 5K For

Brain Cancer Awareness
arden State Races is proud to present the first annual Team Bloke
5K for Brain Cancer Awareness.
On Tues., Nov. 4th, Doug Clark was at
home working when he suffered a grand
mal seizure. After several surgeries it was
determined that Doug had a grade 3
Anaplastic Astrocytoma. Although it is a
treatable form of brain cancer there have
been many intense surgeries, chemotherapy and radiation involved with his treatment. A majority of the proceeds from the
race will go to help the Clark family with
some of their growing medical expenses
during this very tough time. A remainder
of the proceeds will go to support the
Mendham Borough EMTs, who answered
the Clark familys emergency call as well
as to support Stomp the Monster whose
mission is to help families during the
tough time of a loved one fighting cancer.
As a former patient of Therapeutics
Unlimited Physical Therapy and Sports
Rehabilitation, under the care of Janice
Mora, we urge anyone who is interested to
run/walk the 5k on August 1. Run/walk

ummer vacations dont have to
involve trunks and suitcases, sporting equipment or even stopping the
mail and newspaper delivery. Staycations
are becoming a common term where people enjoy their own neighborhoods and
communities during down time.
Backyard pools and community pools are
great staycation activities and can be a
safe and fun experience for all ages.
According to the Centers for Disease
Control and Prevention, there are three
big causes for unintentional drownings
for children 14 and younger: lack of
swimming ability, lack of barriers and
lack of supervision.
To avoid a tragic summer, reviewing
basic water safety tips is a smart way to
start off the pool season. Never leave little ones unattended near water and children should learn basic safety such as
staying away from pool drains, pipes and
other openings to avoid getting stuck and
never swim alone. Its never too late to
learn to swim- everyone should know
how to and lessons are available at local
community pools, YMCAs or private
pools.
Neighborhood or backyard pools
dont have life guards like community
pools do. Keep CPR skills for children
and adults updated regularly. Install a
four-foot or taller fence around the poolsome communities have specific requirements. Its a good idea to check with the
local building inspector to see what rules
apply to the neighborhood. Use self-clos-

ing and self-latching gates, pool and gate

alarms and use a lockable safety cover.
Consider using a surface wave or underwater alarm. Especially with younger
kids, alarm doors and windows that face
the pool area. Its great to invite the
neighborhood kids over but, dont let the
kid/adult ratio get out of hand and never
leave any kids unsupervised.
Visiting the local community pool is a
great way to spend the summer. Its fun
for all ages, a great way to meet other
families and omits the worry and hassle
of maintaining a pool. The Hackettstown
