2020

CHATHAM HIGH SCHOOL CLASS

By Stacey McEvoy

Nine seniors wrote thoughtful reflections about their time at Chatham High School: “The Senior Experience” by Laney Andreychuk Recognizing that the start of senior year was the beginning of the end, we all started to be more kind and inclusive. We have been together for so long, so knowing that we were going our separate ways made us more warmhearted and friendly to one another. It was also clear that our teachers seemed to respect us more. In class we were able to have conversations that were more sophisticated and complex, because we were seen as intelligent and capable young adults. In my English class we talked about feminism, climate change and race, which led to intense and engaging discussions that I really enjoyed. It’s kind of strange, but throughout high school there were several times that I was wishing it was over, and now that it’s here I’m surprisingly very sad. I am going to miss my teachers and classmates so much! Senior year being abruptly cut short due to COVID-19 absolutely broke my heart. Even if we don’t get to go back and finish the year properly, I will always remember my experience at CHS because it has helped shape and create the person I am today, and I will be forever thankful.

OF 2020!

“Guidance” by Nicholas Da Silva When I had initially became a senior, I had feared that I wasn’t going to be ready for it, that it was going to set the stakes too high for me, and that I wouldn’t be able to catch up. Despite many people telling me that junior year was a lot harder than that of senior year, I had that irrational fear in the back of my head. It wasn’t long though until I ended up being proven wrong, as it turned out to be one of my favorite years whilst I had been in school. Of course, unlike other generations, we ended up having rather unfortunate circumstances related to covid-19. With the schools shut down and online schooling taking over, it has served to grant me a glimpse of the world beyond high school, and although I hate to admit it, I don’t really enjoy it. The lack of a guiding hand for the material presented, as well as assignments given, doesn’t work well with me. I’ve always depended on my teachers to set me on the right track, to stay focused on the task at hand, and to use my time well. And that’s not even mentioning how much I miss them. With it’s swift and sudden removal, I have little doubt now that college will be a challenging state of affairs. Then again, that was already known to me, and maybe I’ll end up proven wrong once more.

“Uniquely Unforgettable” by Hailey Coates If I had to pick two words to sum up my senior year I’d have to go with uniquely unforgettable. While most people make lifelong memories during their high school senior year, no high school grads can relate to the experiences the class of 2020 will be talking about at our high school reunions. Reflecting back on the first half of my senior year, I’d say it was everything I had hoped for and more. From opportunities like being the leaders and role models on the sports field, to the freedom of open campus and events like the senior breakfast and senior-faculty volleyball game, the days we had at school were filled with special times. Though it is disappointing to think that this year we will likely be missing out on the traditional senior celebrations like prom and graduation, I think it is important to keep our situation in perspective and focus on the positive. For instance, I never thought I could be this well rested during the school year, have my bedroom so organized, or have time to finally finish reading the Harry Potter series I started back in my freshman year! 6 | Chatham Living

Senior Breakfast


“As a Senior” by Jenn McNiff “One Step at a Time” by Moira Horan The 2017 Chatham Track & Field sign stays staked in my lawn. I take off my new Cougars sweatshirt, check my Garmin running watch, and set out for my daily jog. Sometimes I see teammates. We wave and shout encouragement from a distance. Other days, seemingly no one is outside. Running -- at Loantaka and Greystone, behind the high school and at Cougar, and through the streets of Chatham -- has taught me about community, friendship, and myself. I am so thankful for my family, friends, coaches, and teachers’ support. Our team log and distance group Zoom can’t replace training and competing together, but these days it helps. While the Class of 2020 hasn’t had the expected end to high school, I’m happy to connect with friends and that much more grateful for all of the moments we’ve spent together. I’m excited to attend Villanova next year. On chilly days, I sometimes wear my new college sweatshirt, which elicits smiles and greetings from passersby. The conversation starter of a simple piece of spirit wear reminds me of the warmth and connection of community. I can’t wait to run Trot the Manor and Fishawack again in the future with my friends and neighbors.

If I could sum up my attitude coming into senior year, I’d definitely say ‘excited.’ From the first time I sat parked in the senior lot to every time I left for open campus, I’d get this feeling inside, thinking ‘this is everything I’ve been looking forward to.’ I’ve become close with new people reconnected with old friends. I’ve gotten to take classes like TV Production that I’ve wanted to take since freshman year. Just being able to live my life as a senior has made everything more fun and more exciting, like going to games and other school-wide events. It’s no doubt been an odd transition moving into quarantine in the middle of the year, but I know the administration is doing everything in their power to keep our school spirit alive as we live out the rest of the year. I wish that the circumstances could have been different, but there’s only so much we can do in these hard times. I’m thankful that I’ve still been able to participate in my classes even though the setup is almost completely different and I’m hopeful for how the rest of the year and this summer will play out.

RESIDENT FEATURE “An Unfinished Masterpiece” by Katherine Wang “As the Miles Go By” by Alyssa Ulla I always looked forward to track practice. Whether we were singing a song to fight through the pain of our throbbing muscles or recounting funny stories, there was never a dull moment on our runs. Track is notorious for being a “gym exemption” sport, a sport that people join to get out of gym class. But, for me and some of my closest friends, track is so much more than that. There’s something special about running miles and miles with your best friends. Rather than competing against each other, we are pushing each other to exceed our own personal records. I’ll never forget the times we went to Magic Fountain after practice to reward ourselves for pushing through a hard workout or the times we prolonged warm-ups just so we could talk for a little bit longer. While I’m sad to say that I will never experience another season like this, I’m forever grateful for everything track has done for me, including introducing me to two of my best friends.

It’s been the perfect cliffhanger to a year full of ups and downs, moments of joy and moments of resignation and acceptance. The first days of senior year started out like the stories heard as freshmen: the swaggering down hallways, the late-to-class-because-of-opencampus apologies, the joy of taking classes that I loved. The reality hit a few weeks later: college essays that were written and rewritten, homework that piled up, the sleepless nights and worries that transcripts weren’t received by colleges in time. How apt is it for us to end on Friday the 13th. For a class that has gone through memorable experiences in the past—Hurricane Sandy, snowstorms in October, thunderstorms cancelling school trips—this is but one more thing that makes us unique. I turn 17 in a week and will forever treasure the small moments that have defined my life, if not the course of history. Friendships, laughing at lunch and cramming for tests. Moments of enlightenment from teachers and peers alike. All these memories, finding their niche in my mind, for me to return to when I reminisce. Here’s to the next four years, the next decade, the next century. We’ll always be the Class of 2020.

“Ice Cream in September” by Aidan Walsh

“Hopeful til the End” by Andy Tran "Senior year started out really well. I mostly just hung out with my friends at school and liked where it was going. Getting into college was stressful, but ultimately satisfying. Lately, however, due to the coronavirus, we cannot see each other every day which is unfortunate. I hope soon we'll all come back to end off the year strong. I think despite the circumstances, our 2020 Senior year will end really well."

8 | Chatham Living

I think everyone in Chatham knows that waiting in the Magic Fountain line is completely worth it for the ice cream. Waiting in line always went by super fast when I was with my two best friends, Alyssa and Moira. When it comes to the three of us, time goes by fast. Speaking of fast...the ice cream was worth it because of the cross country workout we demolished at practice earlier. Only a few short hours before waiting in line, the girl's XC team was tearing up the backfield at CHS. I will always cherish our times going to get ice cream. I know going to get ice cream may not sound like much, but it truly was a highlight of my senior year. I miss the perfect September weather. I miss laughing with my friends super loud in line. I miss the walks down Lowell Avenue back to the car. I miss September when I would walk around CHS, see all my friends and teachers, and know that soon my best friends and I would hang out, whether that was at Magic Fountain or practice. All that mattered was that we were together.

EXPERT CONTRIBUTOR

A CHECKLIST FOR GRADUATING HIGH SCHOOL SENIORS Contributed by Brian McGeough, Chatham Wealth Management

B

ecause of the extraordinary circumstances of living during the pandemic, things that we used to think about, process and accomplish effortlessly now seem to take more of our brain power and time than ever. From keeping your kids involved with school to getting food prepared for dinner, much in our lives has changed. However, one thing that has not changed is the fact that your high school seniors will be graduating. Whether your child is moving on to college, enlisting in the military or going into the workforce, there are a number of things a parent can do to help with this transition. The “to-do” list is long, but there are a handful of things that you should consider before your child leaves home. Insurance–Check to see what is covered if your child is going to be moving out of state. Some insurance only covers emergency or urgent care visits. If your child needs on going treatment, it might not be covered out of state depending on your policy. Universities offer insurance to students that is usually pretty affordable. It is an option worth checking out. Also, make sure your child has and understands their medical and prescription insurance cards so that they can put the claim in right away when the receive services. Many children have probably never dealt with their own healthcare needs.

12 | Chatham Living

HIPPA releases–You still may be supporting your child financially, but if they are over 18, they are considered an adult under the law. If your child goes to the hospital or a doctor, you will not be able to get medical information on them unless they have signed a HIPPA release. Have your child sign a release with each medical provider they go to so that you can have access to their medical records. Access to grades and disciplinary records–You may be paying every penny of your child’s tuition, room and board, but that does not give you the right to access their grades and disciplinary records without their consent. Make sure that your child designates you to the university as someone who can have access to this information. Budgeting–Let your child know what is included in tuition, room and board. If they have a meal plan, they should know that it is pre-paid for and Chipotle is not part of the plan. No matter what walk of life your child is moving on to, creating a sheet of expenses on how much gourmet coffee, restaurants and food delivery costs will be eye opening if you add it up on an annualized basis. Banking–Setting up a bank account for your child is essential. Many local banks will have kiosks set up on campus when you arrive with your student. It might be wise to set them up with a bank that has a national presence so that they have access to a physical location when they are home and so you can access their bank locally as well if need be.

PARENTING TIME EXCHANGES DURING COVID-19 PANDEMIC

EXPERT CONTRIBUTOR

O

Contributed by Donahue Hagan Klein & Weisberg, LLC n March 21, 2020, Governor Murphy issued Executive Order #107, directing New Jersey residents to remain at home. However, detailed exceptions allow New Jersey residents to be in the public under certain circumstances. Two of those exceptions were (a) visiting family or other individuals with whom the resident has a close personal relationship, such as those for whom the individual is a caretaker or romantic partner; and (b) walking, running, operating a wheelchair, or engaging in outdoor activities with immediate family members, caretakers, household members, or romantic partners while following best social distancing practices with other individuals, including staying six feet apart. Governor Murphy did not specifically address parenting time exchanges in situations where parents are separated or divorced and children regularly move between two separate households. However, in the spirit of the light exceptions that Governor Murphy did detail; Judges and lawyers are generally concluding that Governor Murphy did not intend to interfere with parenting exchanges. Therefore, custody agreements pertaining to parenting time should continue unless safety concerns outweigh, for example, in the care of one parent being regularly in contact with those suffering from COVID-19

due to the nature of his or her employment, such as an emergency room professional. For more information or assistance with this issue, please contact either Stephanie Frangos Hagan at shagan@dhkwlaw. com or Phyllis S. Klein at pklein@dhkwlaw.com or call at (973) 467-5556.

CHAMPIONS MAKE SECOND HALF ADJUSTMENTS Contributed by Matthew Riordan, Professional Physical Therapy & Training

I

t is certain to say that 2020 thus far has not gone according to plan for anyone. This was intended to be your big year. Your business was really going to take off. You planned to get married or finally make that family trip. You had worked so hard toward graduation and were looking forward to landing your first job. This was going to be the year when it all came together...and then the whole world stopped. None of this was in your plan. So much change and stress has been thrust upon us causing us to feel uncertain and out of control. Over these past few months time has moved slowly with the agony of waiting for the return of normal life, yet time has also moved quickly as we try to keep up with the steep learning curve from all of these changes. By the end of this month, half of 2020 will be over. You may look back in disbelief, upset with missed opportunities and lost time. But you don’t look back too long, as there is still another half to play. You have choices on how you will play out the rest of the year. Have you ever wondered why Tom Brady and the Patriots always seem to pull it out in the second half? Did you ever wonder why Tiger Woods did not just fold after not winning a tournament in over 5 years? It is the mindset of a champion. During this pandemic, do you think doctors, nurses and other front line personnel wanted to give up? No, they have helped us come back. They are real champions!

16 | Chatham Living

How will you play your second half? Everyone loves a great comeback story. Can you conceive a second half that can become a better year than you had planned for? If so, then you’re on your way to a comeback. To succeed, first get your mind ready. Doubt is a comeback killer. You will need some team support, but don’t engage with doubters. Yes, there’s a global crisis, but what are the second order consequences you can control? You don’t make a comeback by planning on hitting a hole in one or scoring a 9 point touchdown. Start with something small and attainable. Win that and then build from there. Get creative. This is not shooting for getting back to the old routine, aim higher. Most of all, you can’t wait until the second half bell rings. You’ve got to start now. Here at Professional Physical Therapy & Training, we help people make comebacks in their health, which can be one of the toughest, yet rewarding challenges and become the most valuable asset. If you’re ready to make a comeback, we are on your team. Visit www.FeelBetterWithPT.com. We want to give a special thank you to all of those champions out there including nurses, doctors, hospital workers, first responders and teachers. You have been able to keep this community in the game and ready to win the second half.

10 QUESTIONS WITH. . . . STEPHEN JAGOE By Elizabeth Guckian

T

his month, our “10 Questions” feature is with Stephen Jagoe, a sophomore at the University of Pennsylvania. Stephen has spent all nineteen years of his life living in Chatham with his parents, two brothers, and one sister. He attended Oak Knoll Lower School and Delbarton, and is now a double major in physics and classics at UPenn. While he is not yet sure what exactly he wants to do after college, Stephen is a driven student with a passion for service, as shown through his involvement with St. Patrick’s Youth Ministry and his on-campus activities. As a summer job, Stephen has worked at The Farm at Green Village, which he has enjoyed very much.

What are you involved in on campus?

What made you choose UPenn and what’s your favorite part about it?

My favorite part of working at The Farm is that I work outside all day. I see all sorts of interesting wildlife at work. One time a snapping turtle was trying to cross the street toward our pond and caused quite a traffic jam when it got stuck underneath a car. Eventually, we had to use a car jack to lift the car off the turtle and get it to the pond safely.

I liked the idea of going to school in Philadelphia. It’s just far enough away that I feel like I’m living on my own but can also visit home easily. Also, the history of the city makes it an interesting place to live and go to school. What made you choose to major in physics and classics? At Delbarton, I had excellent teachers in both Physics and Latin who challenged me and encouraged me to continue my studies in college. Each subject is interesting in its own way and I couldn’t decide which one I enjoyed more.

On campus I’m involved in the Newman Center, our Catholic student ministry. I’m also a member of a fraternity, ΣΑΜ, and the rock climbing group at the school gym. How long have you been working at The Farm and what do you do there? This summer was my second working at The Farm. I do everything from watering and weeding to driving the tractors and delivery trucks. What’s your favorite part about working there, and do you have any interesting stories from your |time there?

What are your fondest memories of growing up in Chatham? My mom, siblings, and I used to walk to the library during the summer. Afterward we would go to the playground or stop at Liberty Drug for ice cream. I also loved playing rec sports and watching my siblings’ games.

18 | Chatham Living

What are your hobbies, passions, or interests? I love to listen to and play music. I took piano lessons for 10 years and after I stopped, I picked up a bunch of other instruments. I recently started taking violin lessons. Any favorite Chatham restaurants or stores? My favorite restaurants in Chatham are Mitsubah and Chianti. What place is at the top of your travel bucket list? I’d love to go to Yellowstone National Park or anywhere out west really. I put Yellowstone at the top of my list because I love to hike. I’d also like to go California to see Yosemite and Joshua Tree. If you were shipped to a deserted island for 6 months, what album, book, or movie would you bring? My favorite album is In Between Dreams by Jack Johnson; I could listen to it forever. For a book I would bring The Dharma Bums by Jack Kerouac.


EVERY HOME HAD A SEWING MACHINE

T

Contributed by Patricia Wells, Chatham Township Historical Society hese last few months have seen a lot of people spending a lot of time at their sewing machines producing protective masks for their families, friends and front-line workers. It is ironic that the Chatham Township Historical Society installed a display of antique and vintage sewing machines and notions in November. We had no idea home sewing would immediately see such a resurgence. It makes you wonder how many homes have sewing machines today and how many people know how to sew. In 1925 98% of farm families and 92% of city households had sewing machines. Industrial sewing machines were first developed in the early 1800s in what was called the “Sewing Machine War”

because of the whirlpool of lawsuits involving the various inventors and their patents. It was not until the 1860s that housewives began purchasing machines made for the home. The early machines were treadle affairs that produced a chain stitch (i.e. no bobbin was used). Women’s magazines featured patterns for clothing for the whole family. The Singer Sewing Company produced the first electric sewing machines in 1885, but most homes outside of cities did not yet have electricity. By 1920 most small towns were electrified, but it took Franklin Roosevelt’s Rural Electrification Act of 1932 to get federally funded electric lines to rural farms. In the meantime, the farmwives treadled. Although ready-to-wear garments were available from the late 1880s, most clothing was still home-made or custommade well into the 1900s. The thrifty wife controlled her household budget by making the family’s clothing. Clothes were made with wide seam allowances so they could be let out as children or waistlines grew. During the Depression, farm wives also saved money by using the cotton fabric of feed sacks. When feed and flour companies learned of this, they started competing for the farmers’ business by making their sacks with attractive dress prints to please the wives.

In 1860 Ellen Curtis Demorest designed the first paper patterns which she sold through her magazine, Mirror of Fashion. Three years later Ebeneezer Butterick created the first tissue paper pattern that could be mass produced. His patterns also included a large instruction sheet so any sewer could complete the garments. McCall’s Pattern was established in 1870, Vogue in 1899, and Simplicity in 1927. All four are still in business. In 1853 Henry Sweet invented an attachment to sew binding on to the edges of fabric. Soon attachments were created to make rolled hems, over-stitching, fancy stitches, and buttonholes. Many of these attachments were fabulously intricate works of art. We are all looking forward to the day when we can stop sewing masks and go back to making quilts and clothes. Then when the Red Brick Schoolhouse Museum again opens its doors, we hope you will visit us and enjoy our sewing machine and notions display and share your memories with us.

CHATHAM EMERGENCY SQUAD INSTALLS ITS NEWLY ELECTED OFFICERS

O

Contributed by Craig Alperowitz, Chatham Emergency Squad n Saturday, Feb. 8, the slate of 2020 elected officers was presented by the Chatham Emergency Squad at its annual Officer Installation Dinner held at the Wyndham Hotel in Florham Park. Serving their second year in their positions are Steve Davenport (Captain), Joanne Howden (Personnel VP), Mike Lemons (Operations Lieutenant), Abigail Maddi (Secretary), Jim Martin (Equipment Lieutenant), Evan Skinner (President), Jeff Stanton (Facilities VP) and Cathy Warbrick (Finance VP). Newly elected officers this year include Craig Alperowitz (Communications VP) and Nicole DiMaggio (Training Lieutenant).

Christine Grobert receives a proclamation announcing the annual scholarship she founded will be named the "Christine K. Grobert Chatham Emergency Squad Scholarship Award."

The Squad also recognized several members for their continuous years of service. Carol Grant, Tom Patterson, Kumar Paul, Evan Skinner and Carole Wilmot were recognized for 5 years of service, and Steve Davenport was recognized for 15 years of service. In addition, 30 members of the Chatham Emergency Squad were recognized for earning 100 Length of Service Awards Points (LOSAP) which is a New Jersey State incentive program recognizing volunteers who actively serve their regular and weekend shifts, and positively contribute through additional volunteer hours.

The evening’s tone of appreciation to its membership base for the past year of service was captured by President Evan Skinner’s opening remarks. “There are a lot of Squads in New Jersey, but there aren’t many like ours. There aren’t many all-volunteer squads that can cover 10 calls in a 12-hour Thursday day shift, including a mutual aid to another town. There aren’t many all-volunteer squads who could cover 2 or 3 simultaneous calls 108 times in a year. And there aren’t many all-volunteer Squads who can attract 9 new members in a single year. But we can - and we did.” Special Recognition for Peter Herslow The evening was also marked by standing ovations for Peter Herslow, who recently announced his retirement following 36

years of active service. In addition to serving as President (1999, 2000), Captain (1993, 1994) and many other roles throughout his tenure with the Squad, Herslow is perhaps best known for teaching thousands of Chatham residents, teachers, police, fire and Squad members how to perform effective CPR. Past Chatham Emergency Squad officers Jerry Medina, Ricky D’Costa and Rich Crater along with fellow crew member Dave Elliot paid tribute to Peter’s dedication to the Squad and the Chatham community recalling their time riding with and learning from Herslow. “It’s impossible to know how many lives have been saved thanks to Peter’s devotion as an active Squad member and proponent of effective CPR instruction,” said Jerry Medina, auxiliary member and former Captain of the Chatham Emergency Squad (2002, 2003) “Although he is retired from active service, Peter’s work is not yet complete. Undoubtedly, he will continue to serve the residents of Chatham by training them in effective CPR, which in turn will continue to save countless lives.” The Christine K. Grobert Chatham Emergency Squad Scholarship Award During the ceremony, the evening was further marked by the formal renaming of the CHS Scholarship Award to henceforth be known as the “Christine K. Grobert Chatham Emergency Squad Scholarship Award.” Established in 2014 by Christine Grobert while serving as President of the Chatham Emergency Squad (2014, 2015), the annual award is presented to a Chatham High School student who has been committed to volunteerism in the Chatham Community and/or has displayed an interest in the field of medicine or science.

The renaming of the award honors Grobert, who retired from active service in December 2019 after 21 years of dedicated service. During her tenure, Grobert held many positions beyond that of President, including Vice President for Social & Communications, Secretary, Uniforms Manager, Archivist, Weekend Crew Chief and more. Grobert was also the recipient of the 2019 EMT Excellence Awards by Overlook Medical Center. “Being a teacher in the Chatham School District, and as our former President, Christine had the foresight to help students reach their


potential by formulating this scholarship 6 years ago,” said Skinner. “She represents the best of the Chatham Emergency Squad for her years of service and countless positions held. It’s only appropriate that we cement her legacy by naming this scholarship in her honor,” she added. Representatives from the Chatham Borough Council, Chatham Borough Fire Department, Chatham Borough Police Department, Chatham Township Committee, Chatham Township Police Department, Chatham Township Volunteer Fire Department, Green Village Volunteer Fire Department, Madison Volunteer Ambulance Corps, New Vernon First Aid Squad and New Vernon Fire Department were all in attendance at the annual celebration. In addition to being present, the Summit Volunteer First Aid Squad responded to calls in Chatham overnight so that all Chatham Emergency Squad members could have the evening to celebrate. The Chatham Emergency Squad is an all-volunteer organization funded nearly exclusively by donations. In 2019 the Chatham Emergency Squad responded to 1246 emergency calls in Chatham Township and Chatham Borough and provided mutual aid to neighboring communities of New Vernon, Madison and Summit on occasion. Chatham Emergency Squad never charges for its services. The Squad provides stand-by support for community events, such as the Chatham Turkey Trot, Fishawack, and school athletic events. The Squad also provided free CPR training to more than 400 residents, teachers, coaches, school crossing guards and emergency personnel, including fire and police.
