The open house allows community members to meet the men and women who volunteer their time to serve Mountainside residents and the surrounding towns. This year the open house event celebrated two of their member’s scholarly achievement. Eric Pastore and Lucy Fromtling both graduated college this year. Eric Pastore, who is also Chief of the Mountainside Rescue Squad, graduated from Rutgers University in Newark, earning his Bachelor’s degree in psychology. Pastore is not only Chief at the Mountainside Rescue Squad, but is also a paid EMT at other organizations. At the moment he expressed “I am undecided on what I want to do in the future,” but he plans to continue to volunteer his time with the Rescue Squad. Lucy Fromtling recently graduated from Rutger’s Biomedical and Health Sciences with a Master’s of Science Physicians Assistance Studies. Fromtling has been an EMT for 6 years and has used the valuable experience she gained with the Rescue Squad as a stepping stone to her ultimate goal, Physician’s assistant. Fromtling said, “I love the squad” and while she was attending Rutgers University she still volunteered her time, even though they warned her that course load would take up most of her time. Mountainside Rescue Squad is made up entirely of volunteers and is funded only by (above) Lucy Fromtling and Eric By: Edir Coronado donations and grants. Volunteers like Marty Roden, Senior EMT, who enjoys the work the squad does. He expressed “you see people on their worse days and it feels good to help them out.” He admits that “it can be a stressful job,” but he finds solace that he is working with members that are like family. If you would like more information about the Squad please visit www.ems22.com, or call the non-emergency telephone: 908-233-6338. Tax deductible donations can be mailed to: Mountainside Rescue Squad, 1399 Route 22 East, Mountainside, NJ 07092. (above) Marty Roden (above) Eric Pastore getting is blood pressure taken.

Every 15 minutes, someone in the United States dies as the result of an alcohol related traffic collision. Due to this startling fact, several TREND students at GLHS organized this two-day program. On the first day, students were taken from their classrooms and an announcement was made over the loudspeaker announcing their death. Their faces were painted white and they were returned to class; however, they were not allowed to speak for the remainder of the day. After school, the 26 students and three staff members who suffered this fate were taken to an undisclosed location for the night. Here, they participated in activities and heard from a guest speaker, who tragically killed her friend as a result of an alcohol-related accident. During their time away, students and staff members were asked to write letters to their loved ones, saying what they would not have gotten to say if this were in fact a real situation. The next day, in an assembly program for the junior and senior students, specific members of this group 226 Morris Ave. Springfield, NJ 07083 Picciuto Realty www.yourcentury21.com Sales Representative [email protected] Gary L.

In addition, Maria Esteves of the Union County Prosecutor's Office shared the heartbreaking story of losing her 9-year old daughter due to the actions of a drunk driver. The program was a simulation of the impact that traffic fatalities have on a community of people. We hope that this program will help students realize the true risks of reckless behavior and understand the dangers of driving under the influence. This program was driven by GLHS students with assistance and guidance provided by Mr. Robert Segear, Berkeley Heights Student Assistance Counselor. Also assisting and providing leadership were School Resource Officers, Officer Edward Gaffney of the Berkeley Heights Police Department and Detective Shaun Bendik of the Mountainside Police Department. The program was completely supported through numerous donations by the generous people and businesses of Berkeley Heights and Mountainside, as well as by the Berkeley Heights and Mountainside Municipal Alliances. • Background and drug tested techs • Convenient Scheduling • Multiple Repair Options • Scheduled Maintenance • 0% Financing • Utility Company Rebates • Manufacturers’ Rebates • C & M Loyalty Discounts Call today for a complete air conditioning system tune-up and let our indoor comfort specialists make sure your equipment is ready when Mother Nature strikes.

SELECT CHOIR PERFORMS AT CITIFIELD On Friday, April 29th, the Deerfield Select Chorus, from the Mountainside School District, performed the National Anthem at a NY Mets game under the direction of Deerfield music teacher, Jared Rosenblum. This is the third year that the chorus has performed at CitiField. The staff from the Mets commented that they were “blown away” by the sound of the chorus and couldn't believe that such young students could produce such a beautiful sound. The crowd at the game cheered loudly when the anthem was over. The students were very excited about performing at the game. It is such a unique opportunity to sing in front of thousands of screaming fans. This is only one of the many performance opportunities that the Deerfield Select Choir provides the students. A few of the members of the select choir also performed for the General Assembly at the United Nations earlier this year. This was a once in a lifetime opportunity. The children sang an original song that was written for them called, We All See The Stars. Other performance venues included Madison Square Garden and Radio City Music Hall Students in grades 5-8 are eligible to audition for Select Choir. To audition, students sing 30 measures of a song of their choice, and are tested on their ability to match pitch. Many of the students in Select Choir are in 5th grade and look forward to continuing in the program as well as the school musical. Many of the 8th grade students would like to continuing performing in high school and would like to go on to a professional career in music and acting.

Mountianside View • Page 11 • June 2016 THERESE RUANE OF MOUNTAINSIDE HAS HER SIGHTS SET ON ANIMATION It wasn’t until high school that Therese Ruane started to realize that the passion she had for animation was more than just a childhood hobby. Most recently, Therese’s artwork has been published in the 2016 Creative Writing Anthology, which is part of the Somerset County Teen Arts Festival, and her mixed media piece, “Allure,” captured a gold medal at the Somerset County Teen Arts Exhibition on May 11th. Her artwork will be displayed at the county’s gallery in Somerville this summer. A sophomore at Mount Saint Mary Academy (MSMA) in Watchung, Therese said, “Since I was a little kid, I copied my favorite cartoons like Pokémon and Ed Edd n Eddy. When I was good enough to draw them freehand, I started to realize that I wanted to become a cartoonist.” Research, practice, video games, and learning from her peers who were also talented in art helped fuel Therese’s interest in animation. MSMA art department chairperson Donna M. Abrams and art teacher Duffy Dillinger also provided inspiration for the Mountainside resident. “My father bought me my first Wacom tablet when I was in the eighth grade which was the first time I was able to digitally draw,” she explained. “My parents, who are totally supportive, always asked me (when I told them that I wanted to be an artist), ‘What can we do to help you accomplish that dream?’” shared Therese. After watching the Cartoon Network, Nicktoons, and Disney channels, Therese began to develop her own style of animation which she describes as both realistic and cartoony. She broadened her horizons and created outside of her comfort zone when she learned Photoshop skills that went beyond simply adjusting photographs. This year, she also came to appreciate drawing and mixed media, sketching faces and anatomy. “I’m being taught to take what you see around me and to create what I want; to put my own style into it,” said Therese. “I found Therese to be skillful and creative as a Graphic Art I student,” said Mrs. Abrams. “Her motivation led her to co-found and develop mini projects for this year’s Graphic Art Club.” It isn’t uncommon to find Therese and her brother, Matthew, a student at The Academy for Information Technology in Scotch Plains, collaborating excitedly every day on the cartoon they hope to pitch to the Cartoon Network. Their sister, Mary, a junior at MSMA, always offers constructive advice to the duo as they create their masterpieces. “We are always developing characters and writing scripts. We have about 30 characters so far,” she said. When she graduates from MSMA, Therese hopes to attend one of the top design schools such as the California Institute of the Arts, the School of Visual Arts in New York City, or Savannah College of Art and Design. Therese is the daughter of Mr. Kevin Ruane and Mrs. Lisa Ruane.
