Beloved Morristown Movie Theatre Set to Reopen Soon
By Kate Halse s May drew to a close several months ago, disheartened fans watched as the doors to Morristown's popular Clearview Cinemas closed. Soon after, however, AMC Theatres stepped in with an offer and the theatre is set to reopen shortly. The theatre's troubles began when Cablevision, which owned the Clearview Cinema chain, sold the Clearview chain to Bow Tie Cinemas. The Morristown theatre was among six that Bow Tie Cinemas did not want to acquire, prompting the shutdown of the beloved space. Shortly after the potential sale fell through, AMC offered to buy the theatre. In doing so, the company signed a long-term lease that would allow the theatre to reopen in the same location in Morristown. The theatre is situated in Morristown's Headquarters Plaza, a large commercial complex that contains an array of area businesses and companies. The 10-screen theatre covers nearly 40,000 square
feet and is in the process of undergoing extensive renovations. Morristown Mayor Tim Dougherty noted at a recent meeting that while the theatre is getting close to the point when it can reopen to the public, he would not provide further details just yet. If all goes as scheduled, the theatre is set to open up its doors by the end of October. Although AMC just became the most recent owner, the company had initially owned the theatre when Headquarters Plaza first opened in the 1980's. Clearview Cinema took over several years later. Visitors and locals alike frequently visited the theatre, especially on weekends. In some instances, the same customers have been returning to see movies on a regular basis for decades. News of the closing meant that movie-goers would be without a theatre in Morristown for the first time in almost a century. Dougherty recently stated that it had "been on the mind of many resi-
dents that we wanted our theatre back." When the doors reopen, visitors will be greeted by extensive renovations, some of which will not yet be completed. Some of the renovations will be done in different stages to minimize the potential disruption to the theatre. During this time, some of the screens will likely be closed for upgrades. Expected renovations include plush power recliner chairs along with brand new movie screens and fully digital projectors. The food area will also be revamped with items such as mozzarella sticks, French fries, pizza, chicken tenders, and freestyle Coca-Cola machines for guests to enjoy. News of the reopening led to the inevitable question of whether ticket-taker Eric "Fluffy" Glover would be part of the new staff. Glover, who had been working at the theatre since it was owned by AMC, became a beloved part of the theatre for his continued on page 2

Womans Club of Morristown Collecting Bras For Charity
he Womans Club of Morristown, in partnership with the Morristown office of board-certified plastic surgeon Brian S. Glatt, MD, FACS, is hosting a "Bra Drive" to benefit women in need. New and lightly used bras can be dropped off at the Woman's Club headquarters, 51 South Street, Morristown, weekdays between 8 a.m. and 8 p.m. The cutoff date for collection is October 25. If the donated bra is new, the tags should be left on. Previously worn bras merely need to be laundered. All sizes and styles of bras are needed, including specialized bras like post-surgery and maternity bras. The garments do need to be in good condition, with functional clasps and straps. Handling and distribution of the bras will be done by The Bra Recyclers, a textile recycling company which distributes bras around the world to deserving women and girls in transition. The Bra Recyclers' mission is to reduce the amount of textiles that unnecessarily go to landfills by recycling and reusing them to reshape the environment and the lives of people around the
world. The Arizona-based firm notes that bras are one of the most requested items in shelters and transitional programs worldwide. Its fourth annual Bra Recycling Month, held in October, ties into that month's traditional observance of breast cancer and domestic violence awareness. More information is available at www.brarecycling.com. The members of the Womans Club of Morristown are dedicated to serving their community through civic, cultural, and educational projects. The group works closely with the NJ State Federation of Womens Clubs and the General Federation of Womens Clubs. The Club is a non-profit, non-political, non-sectarian organization whose purpose is to promote improvements within its community; to offer civic and cultural activities; and to preserve its headquarters, the historic Dr. Lewis Condict House.

Impact 100 Garden State Announces Five Finalists

Committees of Impact 100 members used a rigorous selection process. Each committee met separately during the summer and, following similar protocols, evaluated the applications in their focus area. The women then conducted site visits before making their final choices. The last step in the selection process will take place at 6pm, on October 30, at the Frelinghuysen Arboretum in Morristown where all Impact 100 members will gather to hear presentations from the finalists and then cast their votes. The balloting process will be secret and supervised by an independent accounting firm. Members who cannot attend may vote by absentee ballot. The recipient will be announced that night. We had an outstanding pool of applications to review, says Bonnie Gardner of Morristown, Grants Chair. The committees were careful and thorough in their work and we are thrilled to present their finalists to our membership. In addition to Gardner, members of the 2013 Leadership Team of Impact 100 Garden State are Sally Epstein and Carole Rogers, also of Morristown; Elisabeth MacDonald and Kathy Teti, Mendham; and Cathy Vinnicombe, Bernardsville. The philanthropic organization, the first in New Jersey, but following a model that has been successful elsewhere in the country, bases its annual grant on its membership totals. In its first year, Impact 100 Garden State reached a membership of 135 women. Every members donation of $1000 goes directly to the grant. More information is available at www.impact100gardenstate.org. Inquiries should be directed to the organizations email address: impact100gardenstate@ gmail.com
mpact 100 Garden State, a New Jersey organization that invites women of all ages to join together to make transformative grants to local communities, has now moved one step closer to selecting the non-profit organization that will receive its first grant, which this year totals $135,000. Each of the chosen finalists represents one of the organizations five focus areas. In Arts and Culture, the finalist is The Printmaking Center of New Jersey; in Education, Literacy Volunteers of Morris County; in Environment, the Land Conservancy of New Jersey; in Family, Jersey Battered Womens Service; and in Health and Wellness, NewBridge Services. In June, the organization received more than 60 applications from Morris, Passaic, Somerset and Sussex County non-profits.

odays seniors are enjoying longer life expectancies. However, theyre also discovering that chronic illnesses and routine symptoms of aging can impede their independence and quality-oflife. Along with a need for household help, many have transportation concerns. In fact, a study conducted by the National Institute on Aging found the vast majority of elderly men and women outlive their ability or willingness to drive and require transportation assistance for more than a decade in the
later phase of their lives. In response to this growing need, the Visiting Nurse Association of Northern New Jersey (VNA) Private Care Services program is taking the stress out of finding trustworthy transportation by offering its clients assistance getting to medical appointments and other outings.

New Luxury Townhouses to Be Built in Morristown

headquarters and will be in close proximity to the town's historic district. Each home will cost around $1.5 million. John DeLaney, former Morristown Mayor, is the attorney for the project's developers. His enthusiasm for the project is apparent despite the fact that it has yet to begin as he calls the upcoming project a "dream" for Morristown. The future site for the homes is currently occupied by a vacant radiology office. The homes will be on the corner lot of this piece of land. Entrances to all homes would be from Miller Road. The project will need to go before a zoning board, rather than a planning board, since the developer needs to have zoning variances to enable twice the current lot coverage. In addition, the developer will need approval to move the setbacks to within 20 feet of the existing sidewalks on Maple and Miller roads, where 30 feet is zoned. Of the eight town homes to be built, five will be facing Maple Avenue. The remaining three homes are expected to front on Miller. Normandy Park Estates currently owns a neighboring mansion, which it plans to preserve. The developer anticipates adding a backyard garage to the mansion. The project will be handled by LK Maple Associates LLC, which is a subsidiary of Normandy. LK Maple Associates LLC is owned by Finn Wentworth, who is the former president of YankeesNets as well as the YES network. As with many prospective new projects, some concerns were raised about the proposed townhomes. During a presentation on September 12, the Historic Preservation Committee brought up potential aesthetic problems with the planned construction. As the homes will be close to existing stone structures such as St. Peter's Episcopal Church and the Morristown and Township Library, the committee believes that a Victorian motif will be more suitable for the area rather than the proposed Federal brick design. In response, project designer Tom Barton offered to tone down the appearance of the buildings a bit. However, many attendees had only positive comments about the proposed homes. Several officials in town, including current Mayor Tim Doughery, were pleased to see plans for residences at the current site rather than more businesses.
By Kate Halse n the past few years Morristown has continued to expand, welcoming new restaurants, businesses, and even residential buildings. This year, a proposal is underway to construct eight new luxury town homes along Maple Avenue. Normandy Park Estates is the developer for this project, which is still in its early stages. The developer went before the Board of Adjustment on Wednesday,
October 16, at 7:30 to discuss the application for construction of the new townhomes. The current plan is to build several three and a half story Federal-style residential structures. These structures will be placed at the Miller Road intersection and will range from 3,100 to 5,000 square feet. Some of the proposed features include individual patio gardens, elevators, rooftop decks and two-car garages. The homes will be constructed next to the developer's corporate
1900s Victorian in Historic Morristown
town of he Morristown is a culturally diverse community because it embraces the past and welcomes the future. After the Revolutionary War and continuing into the 1800s and 1900s, the town grew and many prominent people including inventors, business executives, artists, prominent political figures, and millionaires lived in the area. The Morristown Green was the town center with churches, businesses, and a beautiful park which is still there today. Because of this, people enjoyed living in the areas just off the green that enabled them to walk to town yet still enjoy the ambience of living in a residential community. One of the streets located just off the Green is Perry Street. John R. Brinley a local entrepreneur and landscape architect who designed the WWI Memorial Park in front of the Vail

From the Mayors Desk

A few weeks ago I participated in a workshop in Washington, DC along with other civic leaders from around the country. As part of our introductions, we were asked to describe what we liked most about our respective hometowns. I immediately thought about our rich history, beautiful architecture, diverse character, our town center and valuable train station. Ultimately what I liked

While we continue to face tough challenges, my strategy has been centered on inclusion and equity, rather than isolating the various communities and the voices of people that comprise our wonderful neighborhoods. Today, and as we move forward, our diverse communities have the opportunity to think about and provide ideas into the concerns that impact our quality of life. All indications suggest that Morristown will continue to attract private investment for new development. We have seen a strong upward trend in residential development in our town, and my administration has simultaneously maintained a commitment to ensure that affordable housing is integrated into all new development proposals. Now, we are focusing on commercial development to strengthen our economic position by attracting new businesses, and capitalize on our regional location and train station. These new residential and commercial developments are focused in areas along major regional corridors that can accommodate growth, while preserving the historic character of our neighborhoods and Town Green. Attracting people to live and work in the downtown will also help strengthen our main street neighborhood and the retail corridors that we enjoy everyday. During my administration, we adopted practical redevelopment plans, balanced municipal budgets and instituted other new management policies all items that, at different times in our recent past, stalled as a result of a flawed public process. A prime example of how productive public participation provides Morristown the power to transform itself is our new master plan, Morristown Moving Forward, which my administration will soon be presenting to the Planning Board for adoption. The master plan has been the product of deep community engagement. This plan will soon be made available on the Town's website and I encourage residents to carefully review it and let me know what you think. Our community is continually presented with new

Morristown Celebrates Annual Festival on the Green

as Italian, Afghan, Indian, Korean, Malaysian, Mexican, and more. Of course, there are also the typical American food options such as a cheeseburger and fries, pizza, and ice cream. The event offered food samples from some of the town's most renowned eateries. There was no shortage of entertainment this year, especially for music lovers. This year's lineup consisted of a mix of bands, which performed either on the main stage or the family stage. Highlights included the Heart of Gold Band, which captured the attention of the audience with its classic rock hits, and Reverse Order, a pop rock group finalist from NBC's America's Got Talent. Health was another main component of this year's festival. The Morristown Medical Center was on hand to provide free blood pressure and blood sugar screenings during the day. There were also healthcare professionals such as nurses and members of the hospital staff to help visitors improve their overall health and well-being. Any abnormal results were followed up with on-site counseling, patient education, and tips on how to make lifestyle improvements. Follow-up recommendations were also provided if deemed necessary. While the adults were getting their blood pressure and blood sugar levels checked, the kids had a chance to head over to the Goryeb Children's Hospital table, which featured kid-friendly activities. However, one of the biggest highlights of this year's event was Speedwell Avenue. The area was bustling with activity from the start to the end of the event, offering rides for kids along with main attractions and performances for even the youngest festival attendees. Many visitors made their way over to Bayer Speedway, a car racing stimulation that enabled participants to experience what it really feels like to "drive" in a race car. The raceway was sponsored by Bayer HealthCare, which also provided the hit Making Science Make Sense tent, where children of all ages were invited to explore science through hands-on activities.
By Kate Halse lear skies and mild temperatures drew thousands of residents in and around Morristown to this year's Festival on the Green. The event was held on Sunday, September 29, from noon to 5 p.m. An estimated 50,000 people show up for the event each year. There is something to do for people of all ages, including activities for the kids as well as exhibits and programs for the adults. The festival is a time for locals and visitors to stop by and support local businesses and vendors, many of whom are present throughout the day to answer questions and provide items such as food samples. There are around 150 exhibitors in total, each of which represents a local business or organization. Vendors typically range from local non-profit organizations to restaurants in the area. The event also offers lots of entertainment, such as music and competitions. If you are interested in food, you can sample some of what the local restaurants and eateries have to offer. Morristown has nearly 100 restaurants, which span a variety of cuisines. For example, you will find restaurants that specialize in cuisines such
Free Program in Morris County Tracks Missing Residents

If a client goes missing, a caregiver needs to call 911 to report that a person is missing. A trained officer is then sent out with the tracking device to locate the client. Project Lifesaver was founded in 1998 by Chief Gene Saunders of the Chesapeake, Virginia Sheriff's Office. Saunders is noted as an expert on electronic tracking of persons at risk, and was a 2011 Presidential Citizen's Medal nominee. The program came to the Morris County Sheriffs Office in 2003 for the elderly- and 2005 for juveniles- when Morris County Sgt. Rob Alpaugh brought forth the information and suggested that we look into it, says Rochford. We liked that the program dealt with identifying at risk persons who may wander, which included locating missing persons with dementia, Epilepsy, Alzheimer's disease, autism, Down syndrome and other related illnesses. Rochford says, We became the first sheriff's office in New Jersey to start the program. Subsequently I spoke to the other 20 sheriff's in New Jersey, showed them the program, and all of them brought the program into their respective agencies. NJ is the only state in the nation to have statewide Project Lifesaver coverage through the volunteer efforts of the Sheriff's Association of New Jersey. This allows the caregiver to take their loved one on a vacation to anywhere in New Jersey for a vacation, such as Atlantic City, says Rochford. We would notify the Atlantic County Sheriff that one of our clients would be in his jurisdiction and we would give him complete information on the client, and then we would give the caregiver the phone number of the Atlantic County Sheriff to call if their loved one wandered. The same procedure would also be followed if the person visited anywhere in the U.S. Currently, 100 clients are registered for Project Lifesaver through the Morris County Sheriffs Office, says Thornton. Ages of the residents vary from 5 years old to those in their 80s. The program is offered for free in Morris County at this time. Not all sheriffs offices offer the program at no cost to the client. The Morris County Sheriffs Department is able to offer the program for free thanks to grant programming through Morris County and private donations, says Thornton. Changing batteries for each transmitter, visiting clients homes and tracking devices can be costly. According to Thornton, transmitters cost about $350 with battery replacements for each at $1 per month; cloth bands are $1.20 each; and tracking devices can cost anywhere between $1,500 to $2,200. Morris County Sheriffs Office currently has two tracking devices for the program. Morris County has one of the most successful and largest Project Lifesaver programs in the state, says Thornton. Every 30 to 60 days, the batteries on each transmitter need to be replaced. Thats how we get this GPS to work, she says. We go and visit all these clients and we change their batteries. We work with parents and caregivers on how to do daily tests to make sure the device is working properly. By visiting younger clients regularly, children learn to not be afraid of the police which can also be beneficial, explains Thornton. In Morris County, seven officers are currently trained to find clients with he tracking device, says Thornton. Three or four more officers will be trained this year. continued on next page
By Cheryl Conway ew Jersey residents do not have to fear being lost anymore thanks to a life saving program that can help track wanderers in ample time. Project Lifesaver- a non-profit international program- is now being offered in all 21 sheriffs offices throughout the state of NJ. The Morris County Sheriffs Office was the first NJ office to offer the program. The program is offered to any adult or child with a cognitive disorder or is at risk of wandering. Registered clients and their caregivers can feel more secure knowing they can be found if they should lose their way. It is a great program because it saves lives, says Morris County Sheriff Edward Rochford. Its keeping people safe, says Sgt. Denise Thornton, program coordinator of Project Lifesaver through the Morris County Sheriffs Office. Its a good, positive program. It not only keeps the client safe, it gives the caregiver a piece of mind. Clients who register for the program wear a battery-operated transmitter on their wrist or ankle that emits an individual tracking signal to its county sheriffs department.
Free Program...
continued from previous page The tracking device works by picking up the frequency of the transmitter of the missing client. Project Lifesaver works by downsizing the amount of time it takes to find a missing person, says Thornton. Trained officers tend to find someone in less than 30 minutes through the program. With the transmitter, a missing person can be found within one mile on the ground and five to seven miles by helicopter, says Thornton. Weve not had one instance where the person cannot be found, says Thornton. Morris County Sheriffs office had one clear find this year, she says, out of about 15 incidents that were reported through the Project Lifesaver program in Morris County. Police from local municipalities are typically on the scene looking for the missing person before the county gets there with the tracking device. Weve been called several times, but the municipality or caregiver found them first. But what if they are not able to find them so soon? says Thornton. These are people with cognitive disorders that are not able to communicate. In order for the program to be successful, a client must wear the device 24/7 and the battery must be changed, say Thornton. Devices are the size of a watch. The client must test the transmitter every day to make sure there is a blinking light. Caregivers love it, says Thornton. Its another safe door for them. The program also allows elderly with cognitive disorders to stay in their homes longer and be with family rather than having to be placed in a nursing home. Its another tool in the toolbox. Morris County residents can sign up for Project Lifesaver through the website Mcsheriff.org, and click on the link for Project Lifesaver; or call Sgt. Thornton at 973-285-6675. Private donations to support Project Lifesaver can be sent to Morris County Sheriffs Office, Project Lifesaver, P.O. Box 900, Morristown, NJ, 07963-0900. Project Lifesaver International has more than 1,200 participating agencies across the U.S., Canada, and Australia, and has performed close to 2,700 searches in the last 13 years with no serious injuries or fatalities ever reported.

Mayo Performing Arts Center Events

An Intimate Evening with Clint Black Acoustic Thursday, November 14, 2013 at 8 pm Popular country star Clint Black performs acoustic versions of his many hits that include "Killin' Time" and "A Better Man" at the Mayo Performing Arts Center on Thursday, November 14, 2013 at 8 pm. Tickets are $39-69. Prolific singer-songwriter Clint Black has long been heralded as one of Country music's brightest stars. His many talents have taken him even further, as Black has transcended genres to become one of the most successful artists in all the music industry. To date, Black has written, recorded and released more than 100 songs, a benchmark in any artist's career. An astounding one-third of these songs eligible for major single release also achieved hit song status at Country radio, while more than 20 million of his albums have been sold worldwide. While it's well-known that Black is an accomplished singer and guitarist, people may be surprised to learn that he is also proficient on drums and harmonica. Black's continued success can be attributed in part to his deep sense of Country music history, and his humble gratitude in being an important part of it.

The Hungarian State Folk Ensemble, regarded as one of the greatest folkloric dance ensembles in the world, was established in 1951. Its aims were to collect and play authentic folk music and to preserve the folk dances and traditional costumes of Hungary and Hungarian-inhabited areas by putting them on stage before the public. During the more than four and a half decades of its existence, the Ensemble has achieved its aim by revitalizing the culture . . . of the Hungarian people. Their rich and colorful repertoire entitles the Ensemble to be regarded as one of the top touring groups in the world. The Ensemble has performed in 44 countries across four continents and won the admiration of an audience of more than seven and a half million people. The choreographies are all based on authentic dances, some of them collected in isolated villages with dance elements dating back hundreds of years.

It premiered on the stage of Musick Hall in Dublin on April 13, 1742 However, it became a work associated with more than Easter; its most recognizable for its Hallelujah chorus. The portion we are performing is a beautiful celebration of the Christmas season and will surely be a wonderful and inspiring program, said DAchille..

We encourage visitors needing special assistance to call us in advance of the event to share your needs and receive site specific information. Many of the experiences along the way allow for seating so you will not have to stand the entire tour. ABOUT THE MEDIUMS: The Medium Theatre Company devises site-specific work for historic spaces. Their first play for Rutherfurd Hall, The Sea of Tranquility, intertwined stories of astrophotographer Lewis Morris Rutherfurd with those of local folk legends Jenny Jump and the mysterious White Pilgrim of Dark Moon. Their second play, Meet the Mediums, was an impossible comedy about a family of spiritualists living in Allamuchy in the 1930s. Last Halloween the Mediums gave Rutherfurd Hall its first proper haunting in the form of a five-act tour invited people to get hooked up to a sense-boosting machine, eat lemons with a radioactive man, form a sance with a girl held captive by her radio, share strange fruit with a witch in her kitchen, and match wits with the mysterious Voice Inside Your Head. This years Hall of Haunts will bedifferent. When not channeling the Spirit World, The Mediums spend their spare time working as teachers, actors, dancers, musicians and artists in New Jersey, Pennsylvania and sometimes Ohio or New Orleans.
he Medium Theatre Company presents a program that will excite both children and adults, as actors play the roles of historical figures with weird and unusual illnesses and afflictions. Audiences travel from room to room in the mansion, encountering different characters and situations as they go. This Hall of Haunts is far from your typical haunted house where bloody gory people pop out at you; instead the Mediums create a psycho-drama where feral children, ghastly nuns and human experiments inhabit unusual spaces in a facility controlled by madmen who hold the keys. Full of high drama, audience interaction and dark humor, visitors will travel up to the topmost floors and discover a number of twists and turns along the way! October 25 & 26 6pm to midnight.

Morris Educational Foundation Continues Partnership with Frelinghuysen Middle School for Community One- On- One Tutoring Program
high expectations and meaningful goals for themselves. He added, It is heartwarming to see the excitement in our students when they know that a neighbor in the community really cares about them. The community tutoring project originated two years ago when the Visionary Planning Board of FMS discussed ways to raise the NJ ASK test results for middle school students who fell just below the passing grade of 200 or just above it. In response, the MEF identified a group of community volunteers willing to tutor the students in language arts and math. The MEF is now enrolling additional tutors in preparation for fall training sessions and is accepting applications. Those interested in applying to tutor language arts and/or math, should email the foundation at morrisedfoundation@gmail.com. The Morris Educational Foundation is a 501 (c) (3) that seeks to attract private resources to support a variety of educational programs and initiatives in support of the Morris School District. Through effective solicitation and distribution of funds, the Morris Educational Foundation helps enable the District to continue to be the model of visionary social and educational leadership it has been since its inception. For more information, visit the website at www.morrisedfoundation.org.
he Morris Educational Foundation (MEF) has announced it will continue its community volunteer program at Frelinghuysen Middle School (FMS) for the 2013- 2014 school year. Leadership at both the middle school and the foundation are excited about increasing the impact of the program targeted to sixth through eighth grade students. The Morris Educational Foundation is pleased to invite members of our community who are interested in tutoring to participate. In addition to those who are able to tutor language arts, the MEF is making a special request for those who can tutor math. Last year, over thirty tutors worked with approximately 50 children in both language arts and mathematics instruction. This year, the program will be offered afterschool during the hours of 2:30 pm to 4 pm. FMS Principal Mark Manning shared, The support that tutors provide is invaluable in helping our students improve their academic skills, which translates into overall increased academic success. The tutors represent positive and successful role models who encourage our students to establish

Dr. Lisa Firkser, CASA Executive Director, said We believe that it takes a community to care for our most precious resource, our children. The community is encouraged to come out and shop and help provide better tomorrows for vulnerable children.

"Baked chicken is served most nights, but we also serve meatloaf, baked ham and everyone is excited about West Indian night," describes Williams, featuring dishes from Jamaica such as Curry chicken. Some of the desserts include chocolate cake, banana pudding, bread pudding and cookies. "We try to make it feel like your grandma just cooked a great meal," says Williams. "We make a great meal for great people." Dining customers have been of all ages whether they are mothers, children, some men and elderly.

By Cheryl Conway here is a new hot spot in town for dinner and reservations are not required. Table of Hope is serving dinner Monday through Friday at the Bethel African Methodist Episcopal (A.M.E.) Church in Morristown. The community kitchen, located in John and Hellen Middleton Fellowship Hall in the lower level of the church, was dedicated on Sept. 23. Anyone in the community and surrounding areas is invited for free dinners from 6 p.m. to 7:30 p.m. Opening the kitchen is the church's way of giving back to the community that helped the church recover after Hurricane Irene ruined the lower level of the building in 2011. Opening the Community kitchen was the "idea of our congregation in response to the generosity that we received from our neighbors who offered to rebuild our kitchen after Hurricane Irene," explains Pastor Sidney Williams of the Bethel A.M. E. Church for the past three years. The storm completely destroyed the lower level of the church. Operated under the Spring Street Community Development Corporation in Morristown, a charitable non-profit organization, Table of Hope receives most of its food from the Community Food Bank of

cooking, and make animal food with the one-cylinder gasoline engine operation. Mark Sutherland, Manager of Historic Sites states, Kids love seeing the farm animals, such as the horses, pigs, cows, and chickens. They engage in farm activities, such as grinding the corn and feeding the chickens, gathering the chicken eggs, watering the garden, and much more. The Armistice, or cease fire that officially stopped the carnage of WWI, went into effect in Europe on November 11, 1918, at 11 a.m. Over the years, Armistice Day, later named Veterans Day, has honored the men and women who served in the U.S. armed forces. On this Veterans Day, gather outside The Willows at 2 p.m. for a special tribute to veterans. Admission for Thanksgiving-Harvest Home is $6 for adults, $5 for seniors (65+), $4 for children ages 4 to 16, and $2 for children ages 2 and 3.

continued from page 26 Once a week, a volunteer visits the community food bank to pick up the food and then fruits and vegetables are picked up twice weekly. Last week, 520 pounds of food, which included 20 pounds ground turkey, 205 pounds of chicken, 42 pounds of ham, 40 pounds of lamb, 26 pounds of beef, along with dry goods, canned food and vegetables were picked up totaling $250, says Williams. "We start cooking at three o'clock so moms can pick up their kids from day care and come have a great meal," says Williams. The personal touch, quality of food, newly renovated, clean atmosphere and friendly environment have been some of the positive responses Williams has received so far on the community kitchen. "People really like what we are doing," he says. The church is always looking for volunteers to help serve at the community kitchen. About eight volunteers have been helping nightly. Williams would also like to encourage more of a fellowship with the community kitchen rather than just a place "just to eat." Game playing and watching movies are other activities Williams would like to foster at the community kitchen Table of Hope "so people can stay." To make this happen, Williams has requested the donation of board games, as well as movies and a flat screen television to mount on the wall. "Everyone is welcome," says Williams. He would like "to provide a family environment so people can connect and have a sense of experiencing community. We don't want people to eat and go. We want them to stay, play some games, watch the news and have a community fellowship." For holiday meals, Williams says the community kitchen is "planning a full Thanksgiving Dinner and Christmas meal." To volunteer or donate, visit the Table of Hope community kitchen during its dinner hours or call its kitchen manager, Gloria Leak, at 973-267-8912. Established in 1843, Bethel A.M.E. Church is the first congregation established by African Americans in Morris County. The founding members had belonged to the Morristown Presbyterian Church when they decided it was time to start their own congregation. Bethel had served as the only schoolhouse for children of color in Morris County during those early years. The church's previous kitchen, which was used for church fellowships, was destroyed when Tropical Storm Irene deposited 20,000 gallons of the Whippany River into the church basement on Sunday, August 28, 2011. While the water was removed with the help from the Morristown Fire Department, many items in the church were ruined including kitchen appliances, computers, carpeting, floor tiles, children's back-to-school supplies, office equipment, organ and a piano. Its flood insurance had expired soon after the sudden death of former Pastor Alfonso Sherald in 2010, leaving the church in a quandary. Through fundraising, grants and community support by many area groups and local congregations, Bethel was able to clean up the mold, repair damage and return to its sanctuary on Oct. 9, 2011. There were also several anonymous donors who contributed to help with mold removal and testing. Initial estimates to restore the kitchen and fellowship hall exceeded $400,000. Nearly $100,000 in grants and donations was raised through the Presbyterian Church in Morristown and the D' Brickshaw Ferguson Foundation, the Hyde and Watts Foundation and the Morris County Freeholders, who arranged a Community Development Block Grant. Normandy Real Estate Partners in Morristown provided a complete rebuilding and renovation of the space. Currently, there are 250 members of the Bethel A.M.E. Church. Williams says it is the only community facility in the area that offers free meals in the evening to both men and women.
