West Milford Local donates two
“Drunk Buster” carts
to high school
On Sept. 8, members of West Milford Local 162 donated two
“Drunk Buster” carts to the West Milford Township High School in
memory of a recent graduate.
Christopher Boes passed away on Aug. 9 at the age of 20 as a re-
sult of injuries that he sustained as a passenger in a motor vehicle
crash that occurred a few days earlier in a neighboring town. Prior
to his death, Christopher had decided that he wanted to become a
police officer. In the days that followed his death, Christopher’s par-
ents, William and Sandra Boes, requested that family and friends
make a donation to PBA Local 162 in lieu of sending flowers.
Upon learning of the Boes’ request that donations be made to
the PBA in Christopher’s memory, Local 162 President Thomas
Valente made contact with them.
William and Sandra Boes said they wanted people to donate to
the PBA not only because Christopher wanted to be a police officer,
but also because they support the police and they respect the hard
work that police officers perform. Valente informed William and
Sandra that the money would be put to good use and that the Local
would honor Christopher.
The Local, in collaboration with the Boes family and the WMTHS
administration, decided to purchase two Drunk Buster pedal carts.
The carts, along with their impairment simulation goggles, were in-
corporated into the driver’s education curriculum and have already
been utilized by students.
Each cart was lettered with “In Memory of Christopher Boes,
West Milford High School Class of 2014.” Additionally, Christo-
pher’s baseball number (#28) and football number (#54) were in-
corporated into the design. d
