Heard is Centenary Colleges Director of Undergraduate Enrollment Operations. Heards son, David, was 10 years old when he passed away from neuroblastoma, a form of childhood cancer on February 10, 2011. His goal to create crane mobiles was continued on page 6

continued from front page a result of seeing the play A Thousand Cranes, His wish was to send hope, love and courage in the form of paper cranes to other children battling cancer. Anderson saw the story about David and his legacy in the newspaper and was inspired to help. Her class folded approximately 250 cranes and Anderson brought them to Heard at Centenary College recently. She also asked Heard to speak to her class about the subject of hope in the upcoming months. As a breast cancer survivor it has given me a new perspective on life, says Anderson. I want to make a difference and I teach my students to help other people and make a difference. If we can help even a lit-

tle bit to make Davids dream a reality, then I feel like we did a great job. The National Crane Project will continue accepting cranes until the project is complete. I am continually amazed and energized by the commitment Centenary College and other organizations have shown to the National Crane Project, says Heard. The loss of my son has been devastating to my family, but the involvement from alumni, current students, faculty, staff and the community continues to light our path toward healing. We are grateful that Sherry and members of the Warren Hills High School community are among the many hands that are making one of Davids final dreams come true.

Tell Them You Saw It In The Hackettstown News - January 2012 - Page 11 on the roster and this is something that gives the respective head coaches a sense of pride. For the boys basketball squad, the captains are senior forward Zack Arcona and senior guard Glen Jobeless. Mike McDonagh, head coach for the Tigers, notes the importance that the two student-athletes have to the team. They lead by example, McDonagh said. They are always the last to leave practice and devoted their whole summer to getting better. You could find these two young men in the gym everyday in June and July working on their game. They set a good example for the younger players in the program on what it takes to be a good basketball player. They show leadership not only on the court but off as well. I give these two young men a lot of responsibility organizing our community service. We always like to give back to the community and help to others in need. I'm very proud that my guys know it's good to give back and help others. Both captains demonstrate solid skills in the classroom as well. They are both in the National Honor's Society and they organize our community events, McDonagh said. Both have Grade Point Averages over 3.7 and both will be going to college after high school. They lay down the blue print for what it takes to become a student-athlete. They understand that it all starts in the classroom first and playing is icing on the cake. They are great role models not just on the court but off as well. A pair of juniors, Tyler Kozimor and Brandon Rothman have earned the right to be called captains for the Hackettstown wrestling program for the 2011-2012 season. Given the past accomplishments and future goals of each student-athlete, head coach Frank Rodgers in confident in the guidance that Kozimor and Rothman will give to their teammates. These two are returning two-year starters, Rodger said. They are the most experienced and have earned the most credentials over the past two years. Both of these young men have matured and developed a strong leadership style. We have a young and inexperienced team and they will need their guidance in all phases of the sport. They both possess a wealth of knowledge and are very good at sharing and teaching it. Both of the captains for the Tigers are also strong students. They are both are Honor Roll students and Brandon is in the National Honor Society, Rodgers said. Kozimor won the District 1 Tournament at 119 pounds and Rothman placed third at District 1 at 125 pounds last February. Tyler and Brandon are both striving to make it to Atlantic City for the (State) individual championships in March, Rodgers said. They both know that it is a hard road is ahead of them.

By Josh Lashley esides the fact that they are contested during the high school indoor winter season, the sports of basketball and wrestling are quite different. But, one thing that both athletic endeavors have in common is that success happens do in no small part to the leaders on the team-the captains. At Hackettstown High School, both the boys basketball and wrestling programs have solid leadership shown by the captains

being diagnosed with breast cancer. As a survivor, Michel is pleased with the advancement in cancer treatments and is hopeful for the future. My story is common, says Michel. The technology to treat what I have is really advanced. I think from all of the fundraising theres a lot of improvement. My hope is the money we raise will help the students in my class, that there will be a vaccine or something. Michel is all too familiar with the disease, not only by her personal battle but through people in her life facing similar experiences. Her childhood friend died last September from bone cancer. A father of one of her dance students is a three-time survivor. The head ballet teacher at the studio survived breast cancer after she had a mastectomy and chemotherapy three years ago. In addition, she and Volz both lost their fathers to prostate cancer. Most recently, Casey Markowitz 17, a competitive dancer at Theater Dance Center and senior at Mt. Olive High School was diagnosed with Hodgkins Lymphoma. Hodgkins Lymphoma is a cancer that attacks the lymph node system. Casey underwent chemotheraphy and radiation and returned to school this past fall. She is now in remission along with Michel. Its close to us; we really wanted to have more of an impact, explains Michel. Our dancers really want to do something and make a difference. TDC collected over to $5000 last year for Stand Up 2 Cancer with their first benefit performance. This year, the centers goal is to raise even more by inviting dancers from The Dance Academy of North Jersey in Jefferson and Starz Performing Arts Academy in Secaucus to perform.

By Cheryl Conway ersonally affected by cancer either as victims or through loved ones, members of Theater Dance Center of Flanders will host a fundraiser this month to help find a cure. Theater Dance Center invites the public to its performance - TDC 2012 Dance For a Cure-on Sunday, Jan. 22, at 5 p. m. at the Mt. Olive High School. Tickets are $7, and all proceeds will go to Stand Up To Cancer (SUTC), a program of the Entertainment Industry Foundation. Any amount of money raised for this cause will make a difference in the lives of others who may someday be diagnosed with cancer or have a relative fighting against the disease. We have a bunch of young girls at our studio who could face breast cancer someday, says Millene Michel, co-owner and artistic director of Theater Dance Center. Michel co-owns the studio with Mary Ellen Volz, who also serves as business director of the center. Hopefully any money raised from our efforts will make a difference. Facing the disease is all too familiar for members of TDC. Michel, 48, of Flanders, had a double mastectomy last year, after

SUTCs purpose is to enable cuttingedge research to find a cure to all types of cancer such as breast, prostate, skin and brain. SU2C's goal is to bring together the best and the brightest in the cancer community, encouraging collaboration instead of competition, according to the organizations mission statement. By galvanizing the entertainment industry, SU2C creates awareness and builds broad public support for this effort. TDC 2012 Dance For a Cure will include a 2.5 hour performance of a variety of dances that incorporate all forms of dance such as ballet, tap, lyrical, contemporary, hip hop and jazz. Performances from a musical theater group and a young singer, Cristina Ferucci age 13 will perform Your Path. For advanced tickets, call (973) 5845020.

hile staying with cousins in Staten Island in 1995, 7-year old Christina Speciale knew something different and dangerous was going on when a window blew open and the family raced into the basement as gusting winds churned outside. "It was a tornado," she recalled. "I was scared but that day I got hooked on the weather." A year later, the Blizzard of 1996 left piles of snow outside her East Brunswick home. That, she says, "was the icing on the cake." When her sixth grade teacher Miss Vogel at Hammarskjold Middle School asked Speciale what she wanted to be when she grew up, she didn't hesitate - "I want to be a meteorologist," she declared. The 2011 graduate of Rutgers University's Meteorology program (one of only a handful of women in her graduating class) has reached that goal. She recently joined the staff of Hackettstown based WeatherWorks, New Jersey's largest privately owned weather consulting forecast firm, also among the largest in the Northeast. She is the only woman meteorologist at WeatherWorks. "You could say that I've always been fascinated with weather," said Speciale, a 2007 graduate of East Brunswick High School.

Ironically, Speciale's first day of training at Weather Works was cancelled - due to the weather! She was supposed to start on the day of the "freak" snow storm in late October. "Christina clearly has a love for the weather," said Frank Lombardo, founder and president of WeatherWorks. "She's really enthusiastic about it and isn't afraid to roll up her sleeves and delve into whatever we need her to do." At WeatherWorks, Speciale has an assortment of duties, including preparing daily forecasts for "clients" throughout the Northeast, answering emergency inquiries, preparing updates for radio stations, and collecting data for weather-related forensic cases. Over half of New Jersey's county road departments, from Sussex in the north to Atlantic in the south, depend on reports from WeatherWorks to help coordinate their road clearing efforts and effectively manage both equipment and personnel. Other WeatherWorks clients include the Connecticut Department of Transportation, professional football teams, and the New York City Sanitation Department.

eet Buddy from Eleventh Hour Rescue. This tiny terrier was abandoned by his owner when a larger dog attacked him, breaking his neck & leaving him paralyzed. What would have ended the life of most other animals didnt stop Buddy it just slowed him down a bit. His will to live is strong, and his desire for human companionship is just as strong. Buddy doesnt know that hes any less of a dog than the other pups in his foster home. Even without the use of his front legs, he can move his back legs & shake his tail in happiness when he's playing with those dogs. And when hes tired, he curls up on his foster moms shoulder like a baby who just wants to be loved. Since Buddy has been with Eleventh Hour Rescue, he has regained some movement in his back legs. He even has his own wheelchair now so he can be eye to eye with the other dogs in his foster home no more lying on the floor, watching them have all the fun. It is like a whole new world for this little dog! His foster mom has been taking him to physical therapy almost daily, thanks to the generosity of people who have donated funds on Buddys behalf, and it has made

Buddy Needs A Real Family

a world of difference in him. We hope to continue the therapy as long as financially possible. But Eleventh Hour Rescue wants more for Buddy they want him to have a real family and a permanent home, filled with people who will love him in spite of his handicap and provide a safe environment for him. Ideally that home would have two or more people to help care for Buddy, including someone who would be home most of the time as he cannot be left unattended for more than 3-4 hours. A house without young children would be best because, at 7 pounds, he is tiny and he cant risk any rough handling because of his injury. Buddy loves to play with the dogs in his foster home so he would love a friendly dog or two who could play with him without injuring him. Buddys physical therapist has given him exercises to be done at home to help improve his mobility hed love to have someone continue this with him. But hed really like to be part of his family, too, perhaps in a carrier of some sort. Basically, Buddy just wants to live life as best he can like any other family pet and to be the best dog he can be.

If you think you can open your heart & your home to this special needs dog, please contact Eleventh Hour Rescue (www.ehrdogs.org) and fill out an Adoption Application on him or call: 973-664-0865.

Those of us who have come to love Buddy would like to see him in a home nearby where we can watch him finally fulfill his dream of being a beloved family dog.

Are You Sick and Tired of Being Sick and Tired? Exploring another treatment option for Chronic Fatigue Syndrome
drome. If you suffer from chronic fatigue immunodeficiency syndrome, you can start by helping yourself today! Apply pressure to the following acupuncture points with a finger. Push down hard enough until you feel some tenderness. Hold/Massage for approximately one minute. Repeat every day. Stomach 36 This point is used to help improve immune function. This point is located just behind the head of your Tibia (shin bone).

by Kearstin Saya, L. Ac. hronic fatigue immunodeficiency syndrome (CFIS) also known as myalgic encephalomyelitis (ME) is a disabling and poorly understood illness that is becoming more widespread in Western countries. CFIS is a term used to describe a myriad of neurological, neuromuscular, and immunological abnormalities. The initial onset of CFIS consists of flu-like symptoms including fever, sore throat, tender lymph nodes, chills and extreme fatigue. The chronic manifestations of CFIS always include disabling fatigue but can also include muscle and joint pain, sleep disorders, headaches, hypo- or hypersensitivities, cognitive disorders, depression, malaise, anxiety, irritability, confusion, weight fluctuations, abdominal pain, nausea and vomiting, muscle fatigue, worsening PMS, visual disturbances, tachycardia, paresthesias, dry eyes, dry mouth, night sweats, skin rashes and decreased sexual desire.

balance in CFIS patients. This point is located in between the medial malleolus (inner ankle bone) and the Achilles tendon.

As with any illness, traditional Chinese medicine treats the individual on a case- by- case basis. A diagnosis is made based on the individuals symptoms as well as their tongue and pulse presentations. The patients tongue is inspected and 6 pulses are felt on each wrist in order for the Acupuncturist/ Chinese Medical Practitioner to

determine the diagnosis. Since chronic fatigue manifests differently in each person, this method of diagnosing is superior. The treatment plan is then formulated based on the individuals diagnosis. As you can see in the chartone Acupuncture treatment plan will address all of the individuals symptoms as well as the illness as a whole.

This is known as a root and branch treatment. Addressing the root cause of the chronic fatigue is addressing the illness as a whole while treating the branch aims to relieve all of the symptoms associated with the illness. A single Chinese herbal formula can also be prescribed to treat both the root and branch of the chronic fatigue syn-

hich of their pieces would artists choose to show others if they could pick only a few from all their current work? Without the restrictions of the curators theme, with no limitation on size or medium, and no one but themselves to judge, which works of art would the artist want to exhibit? Would the artists pick what they believe is their best work, the piece that is outside the norm and never quite fit into other shows, or maybe one thats a favorite for a personal reason? These are probably good guesses, but the real reason why an artist would choose one artwork instead of another is known only to him or herself. Maybe the reason doesnt matter, since its the artwork youll be looking at in the Artists Choice Show at the Sussex County Arts and Heritage Council

Denise King Sextet Kicks Off Jazz in January at the Centenary Stage Company
the David and Carol Lackland Building, 715 Grand Avenue, Hackettstown, NJ. The jazz series presents the Denise King Sextet, featuring one of the best jazz and blues singers in the Mid-Atlantic. King was first discovered when a writer-guitarist from Philadelphia International Records overheard her singing while she was sweeping her front porch in West Philadelphia. With no formal training, Kings talents naturally developed on her own accord, influenced by her uncles vast album collection of R&B and jazz works. King is renowned for her covers of Billie Holiday, Ella Fitzgerald and Sarah Vaughan standards. Onstage collaborations include Phil Wright, Cecil McBee, Christian McBride, and Lonnie Plaxico, among others. She continues to interpret jazz with R&B, blues and gospel influences and also provides jazz interpretations of rock and soul hits, including the music of Aretha Franklin and Gladys Knight. The Denise King Sextet features Lee Smith on Bass, Bruce Cox on drums, Aaron Graves on Piano, Duane Eubanks on Trumpet and Aaron Burton on Tenor Saxophone. Denise King sings pop and jazz standards with touches of the blues, soul and even gospel in a voice steeped in a sophisticated, swinging, sometimes soulful, satin style. AllaboutJazz.com Tickets for the Denise King Sextet are $22.50 in advance and $27.50 on the day of
