53rd Basket Day, April 30 - May 1
Basket Day, a springtime tradition at the Lamington Presbyterian Church for more than 50 years, will be celebrated on Tuesday night, April 30th, and Wednesday, May 1st, at the church on 355 Lamington Road.
“This is our 53rd annual Basket Day, and the public is invited to join us for this community event,” said Kim McGeary of Lebanon, event chair. “We’ll have great food and drink, and the best pre-Mother’s Day shopping in the area.”
The event kicks off on Tuesday night, April 30th, with a Preview Party from 6:00-8:30PM, with live music, hearty appetizers, wine, and shopping at the many boutique tables and tents. Admission is $25.
Basket Day itself will be held Wednesday, May 1, from 10:00AM-3:00PM. All of the boutiques and tents from Preview Night will return, complemented by a delicious luncheon prepared and served by church members. Admission to Basket Day is free; luncheon tickets cost $15.
Visitors can also buy frozen homemade meals-to-go and fresh baked goods at the “Presbyterian Palate,” pick out colorful flower baskets planted by church members, bid on silent auction items ranging from antiques to vacation home rentals, and find hand-knitted and sewn items created by church members in the “Common Threads” circle.
Basket Day attendees can also shop for jewelry, accessories, home and garden items, browse the “Treasure Tent” for rummage sale bargains and pick a “leaf” from the Promise Tree, where services such as gardening or babysitting can be purchased.
Basket Day was begun in 1961 by a small group of church women who wanted to hold an open-house social and display quilts they had sewn. In the years since, it has evolved into the church’s largest annual fundraiser.
Basket Day and Preview Night will be held rain or shine at the historic church, located at 355 Lamington Road. For more information, phone the church office, at 908-572-7013, or visit the website, at http://lamingtonpcusa.com.

OFC Parade Update
The Oldwick Fire Company has selected a Grand Marshall and a “queen” for its 75th anniversary parade on June 1st.
Serving as Grand Marshall for the parade will be Cecil Vroom, the fire company’s sole remaining charter member. While just 18 years old at the time, Cecil vividly recalls that first fire company meeting in Barnett Hall (now the Oldwick Library) on February 2, 1938. Seventy-five years later he can still taste the apple cider and donuts that were served at the meeting.
A proud WWII veteran who served in North Africa and Italy, Cecil was the fire company’s secretary for many years. After his discharge from the Army, Cecil worked at the Belle Mead depot and then doing tree service. These days Cecil still actively pursues his hobbies of gardening and canning fruits and vegetables.
The parade “queen” is Sara Comley, who was born in Oldwick on January 19, 1938! Sara’s father, Daniel A. Coughlin, was a charter member and was later elected a Life Member of the Oldwick Fire Company. He was the first President, serving a total of six years and he then served as Chief for fourteen years.
Sara and her two sisters, Elsie and Sharon, all have fond memories of Oldwick and the fire company. In fact, the whole family will be traveling here to help celebrate OFC’s 75th Anniversary!
Make plans to stay in town and spend the afternoon of June 1st celebrating with the Oldwick Fire Company. The parade steps off at 1:00 pm and will include the Blue Eagles Drum and Bugle Corps, the Denville String Band and Saint Ann’s of Hampton Pipes and Drums marching bands.
At the picnic, enjoy the complimentary hot dogs, ice cream and popcorn and unwind with a variety of games and activities for young and old! Or, you can just relax with the entertainment on the picnic stage:
- Country singer Ann Brown
- Curran School of Irish Dance
- Davis School of Irish Dance
- Hunterdon County Flutterwheels Square Dance Club
- And even more surprises

Woman's Club News
Notes from WCTT Speaker
The Woman’s Club of Tewksbury Township shared concerns with and learned about addictions from February featured speaker Frank L. Greenagel, Jr., who spoke on “Three Obstacles to Recovery.” Past Program Chair and Past President Liz O’Neill introduced Greenagel, who spoke after the meeting chaired by Trisha Mahoney.
One audience member’s grandson died immediately after attending a rock concert and purchasing contaminated drugs as he walked into the concert. Another had two or three children in rehabilitation facilities – and they are doing fine today. Another’s friend has spent nearly half a million dollars out-of-pocket on her drug addicted child. Most others had been affected by drug use by family or friends and sought to understand and confront the problem. Young men are vulnerable to abuse because they feel they are invincible and nothing can happen to them, Greenagel said.
Greenagel told the group of the dangers of Adderall, a stimulant used by many students to stay awake and accomplish “more,” but which is extremely addictive. He told of opiates, such as Oxycodone, which lead to the cheaper heroin use many times, and which are responsible for more young people’s deaths now than auto accidents.
The obstacles to recovery Greenagel noted are: (1) the presence of an enabler in the user’s life – who makes excuses, covers up, keeps the user using; (2) an environment that promotes drug or alcohol use – and is dangerous to return to after the user recovers, if he/she is to remain sober; (3) non-acceptance of a 12-step program, thinking the group is stupid, or recovery can be done on one’s own, or there is no higher power. A group will always provide more power to the individual: just as the TWC is able to accomplish more working together as a group, than working individually, Greenagel advised. Doing things as a group helps those in recovery to get sober and have fun.
Greenagel sees clients with addictions at Oldwick Associates in Psychotherapy on Old Turnpike Road in Oldwick. He chairs Governor Christie’s Task Force on Heroin and Other Opiates and serves as a member of the Governor’s Council on Alcohol and Drug Abuse (GCADA).

Eagle Scout Project to Benefit Life Camp
I am currently a Boy Scout from Troop 199 in Oldwick. I hope to begin work days on my Eagle Scout Project at the Life Camp in Pottersville in early spring. The Life Camp allows the community to use its property for many of our outdoor community events throughout the year. During the summer, the Life Camp offers inner city children from Newark a fun and enriching experience during the summer. The camp strives to help each child develop self-confidence and awareness of their abilities, and to help each child set goals in order to reach their potential.
My project’s goal is to give the camp a new shed to replace the one that is currently falling apart. The current shed is rotting, unfit for use, and needs to be replaced. This will provide both aesthetic and safety improvements to the camp. I am now at the fundraising step of my project and any monetary donations would be greatly appreciated. The project will cost about $2100 total. Any money raised past what is needed for the shed will be donated to the Life Camp to create financial support for those who couldn’t normally afford to attend for the summer.
If you are willing to make a donation to this worthy cause, please send a check payable to “BSA Troop 199” to me at PO Box 123 Pottersville, NJ 07979. If you have any questions, you can reach me by e-mail, at craigterri@comcast.net. Thank you for your time and consideration.

Mane Stream Seeks Volunteers
Mane Stream (formerly Somerset Hills Handicapped Riding Center) located in Oldwick, is seeking new volunteers to provide support with Equine Assisted Activities for individuals with disabilities. Volunteers 14 years of age or older are needed to groom and tack the horses and assist riders and clients during group lessons and therapy sessions.
Training of volunteers is a 2-step procedure involving a 1 ½ hour orientation followed by a 3 ½ hour training session. The orientation will provide an overview of the programs offered by Mane Stream and will explain the responsibilities of a Mane Stream volunteer. The follow-up training session will provide a closer look at horse behavior and will involve hands-on practice of the skills introduced at orientation.
Attendance at one orientation and one follow-up training session is mandatory prior to becoming a Mane Stream volunteer. Orientations and trainings will be offered prior to each riding session, with a maximum of 12-16 spaces available for each training session. Trainings fill quickly, so it’s important to register as soon as possible.
The orientation for the Spring II 2013 session (April 22-June 15) is scheduled for Monday, April 1. The follow up training session is scheduled for Tuesday, April 2. Pre-registration is required for orientation and training sessions. Prior experience with horses is not necessary in order to become a volunteer. A Volunteer Training Manual and review quiz are available on the website at www.manestreaminc.org, and should be reviewed prior to attending a training session.
Adaptive riding group lessons are held Monday through Saturday during the Winter, Spring and Fall sessions and on Tuesday and Thursday evenings in the Summer. Riders participating in group lessons will learn basic riding and horsemanship skills under the guidance of a PATH-I certified instructor assisted by volunteers, as well as having an opportunity to play games and trail ride. Equine assisted therapy involves a therapy session using the movement of the horse to achieve the client’s goals and objectives. Sessions are directed by a licensed speech, physical or occupational therapist assisted by a PATH-I certified instructor and volunteers, and are held Monday through Friday throughout the year.
Another opportunity for volunteering is with Camp Cold Brook, our inclusive summer riding day camp for children with or without disabilities.
For more information or to register for an orientation and training session, contact Carol at 439-9636 or volunteer@manestreaminc.org.

Volunteer Guardians: There For Our Adults Alone
Imagine not being able to pay your bills, arrange medical appointments, or handle legal issues, and having no family able to assist you when you have to make important life decisions.
Volunteer Guardianship One-on-One, Inc. coordinates volunteers to provide compassionate and complete guardianship services to adults who have no willing family members or friends, and who have been determined by the court to be in need of such personal services.
The New Jersey Office of the Public Guardian had handled these types of cases until the mid-1990's, when budget restrictions caused a moratorium to be placed on new cases. Hunterdon County Surrogate Susan Hoffman and attorney Anthony Serra developed the concept of using volunteers in a structured way to meet this need.
A Guardian is an individual who has been appointed by the court to make life decisions for another person whom a judge determines to be “incapacitated.” A Guardian may be a family member, a neighbor, a friend, or a professional guardian. Important issues such as where to live and how to manage their finances become the responsibility of the Guardian.
Volunteer Guardians are “never alone”. Before being assigned a ward, a volunteer becomes thoroughly familiar with the policies and procedures included in the “Volunteer Handbook,“ and has the opportunity of earning the Registered Guardian (RG) credential. Volunteer Guardians can draw on the assistance of volunteer professionals, individuals, and social service agencies.

Letters to the Editor
Dear Editor,
I read with disappointment the news that the NJDOT has advised our community that it intends to issue a license for the Johnson family helistop. This is despite the fact that our own Land Use Board denied the variance. Based on the very limited information available to the public, it further appears that there will be no appreciable restrictions associated with this license. This seems outrageous and an affront to the democratic process. I believe a decent respect for the time and energy spend on this issue by our citizens and our Land Use Board deserves some explanation from our elected officials and more broadly, some transparency on the entire issue. I am opposed to this particular helistop, but my larger concern is for the precedent that it would set.

Dear Editor,
The Tewksbury Family Assistance Fund (TFAF) would like to thank the community for their continued support. The fund has raised more than $23,000 since September. In addition, many families participated in the annual Bake and Gourmet Freezer Sale by donating delicious, homemade fare. The TFAF has donated over $15,000 this year and, due to the generosity of Tewksbury residents, anticipates helping several more families with needs such as groceries and heating bills.
The TFAF has helped families in need by providing discreet financial support and has distributed over $275,000 since 1993. Any resident in need may be referred to the program through the Old Turnpike School and Tewksbury Elementary School nurses or principals.
It’s not too late to show your support. To make a donation, please make checks payable to the Tewksbury Family Assistance Fund and send to P.O. Box 321, Oldwick, NJ 08858. Or visit www.facebook.com/tewksburyfamilyassitancefund to donate through PayPal®.
