Scan QR Code R oxbury resident Michael Remshifski has earned Boy Scoutings highest rank, Eagle Scout. Michaels scouting journey began when he joined Cub Scout Pack 188 of Landing, New Jersey, in 2001 as a Tiger Cub. While a Cub Scout, Mike was introduced to camping and fur- ther developed a love for the outdoors. This love for the out- doors was carried throughout his years of Cub Scouting, as he earned the ranks of Bobcat, Wolf, Bear, Webelos, and ulti- mately Cub Scoutings highest award, the Arrow of Light. After earning the Arrow of Light, Mike, at age 10, crossed over into Landing Boy Scout Troop 188. Mike has fond mem- ories of spending his summers at Camp Ockanickon and Camp Allamuchy. He earned a total of 30 merit badges in his Scouting career, exceeding the minimum of just 21, and also earned the Mile Swim Award. Some of his favorite badges were Wilderness Survival, Shotgun Shooting, and Fly Fishing. While in the troop, Michael held various leadership roles such as Patrol Leader, Assistant Senior Patrol Leader, and Wilderness Survival Instructor. Michael was also a part of the Venture Patrol, which is a patrol for senior scouts, and went on challenging backpack- ing, canoeing, and biking trips. During his time in the patrol he went on a canoeing trip in the Thousand Islands Region and also went Mountain Biking up in Acadia National Park in Maine. One of my favorite moments of my scouting career was when we saw the sunrise from the top of Cadillac Mountain, which is the most eastern mountain on the east coast of the United States. We were the first people to see the sunrise and it was one of the most beautiful things I have ever seen. Michael chose to build a handicap accessible fishing dock in Ledgewood Park, Roxbury, NJ for his Eagle Project. He has always loved to fish and wanted to extend that experience to others, especially those who face physical challenges find- ing a safe place to fish. He wanted his project to allow those who are wheelchair bound to enjoy fishing just as everyone else can in Roxbury. At the time, there was no facility in Roxburys parks for the physically handicapped. Michael learned many lessons during his project, including time man- Michael Remshifski (photograph by Mark Miller) Remshifski Earns Eagle Rank agement, flexibility, and working with others. He spent count- less hours filling out paperwork, working with an architect, learning the permit approval process, seeking generous dona- tions from suppliers, and leading the scouts and friends who helped him build. Michael is a graduate of Roxbury High School, where he ran cross country and track, played ice hockey and lacrosse, and was a Captain of the Robotics Team. He also graduated top of his class at MCST in the Auto Technician Program. Michael is also a Past Master Counselor of K.E.H. Chapter, DeMolay Leaders of New Jersey. He is currently attending County College of Morris for Engineering Science. Mike plans to pursue a career in the field of Engineering and is plan- ning on earning his Masters Degree. Outside of Scouting, Michael enjoys snowboarding, fishing, skateboarding, and off-roading.

M en and women who adhere to a vegan or vegetarian diet may find that mixing and matching certain foods they eat can greatly improve their overall health. While studies have debunked the once accepted notion that vegans and vegetarians do not have enough iron in their diets because they do not eat red meat, it's important to note that, even though vegeta- bles do provide vegans and vegetarians with a substantial amount of iron, the iron vegans and vegetarians get from grains and vegeta- bles is a different type of iron that is not absorbed as well as the iron found in meat. In addition, certain staples of the vegetarian diet further limit iron absorption. But con- suming vitamin C at the same time as iron- rich foods can enhance iron absorption, ensuring vegans and vegetarians get the iron their bodies need. Did You Know?

Founded in 1946, the Societys mission is dedicated to the discovery, preservation, promotion, and interpretation of Morris County history through events, programs, exhibits, and preservation advo- cacy. Interested individuals are invited to train as docents to assist staff in giving tours of the Societys headquarters, Acorn Hall, during visitor hours and events. Built in 1853, Acorn Hall was remodeled in the Italianate villa-style in 1860, and was once home to the Crane-Hone families. Docents become familiarized with describ- ing the house, its furnishings and decorative arts collections, and special exhibits. They also acquaint visitors with the life and times of its former residents; most notably, Mary Crane Hone, who donated her exceptional Victorian home to the Society in 1971. Docent assistance is needed during visi- tor hours, which are Wednesdays and Thursdays from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m., and on Sundays, from 1 p.m. to 4 p.m. When scheduled for tours, docents may also be requested to assist with research and/or cler- ical projects.

Such festive events with family and friends create memories that last a lifetime. But as enjoy- able as such get-togethers can be, many are not terribly eco-friendly, an unfortunate reali- ty that can take a heavy toll on the planet. Reducing summer party waste is not very difficult. Eco-conscious hosts can take sever- al steps to reduce the carbon footprint of sum- mer party season. * Serve guests using reusable kitchen- ware. Though a backyard barbecue may seem like the perfect time to pull out the paper plates and plastic cups, such items are waste- ful. Hosts might have to do a little extra work, but serving guests using reusable kitchenware can make any pool party more eco-friendly. Such items can be reused again and again all season long. And hosts don't need to use the fine china, opting for plastic plates and cups instead. Such items are dishwasher-friendly, meaning the only extra work hosts have to do is load and unload the dishwasher. * Don't go overboard with main items. Many hosts know that they are bound to have some leftover hamburgers and hot dogs after everyone goes home for the night. Those left- overs often end up going to waste. Instead of making too many items that can't be enjoyed as leftovers, hosts can make more salad and pasta that might taste better the day after. In addition, such items can be sent home with guests, whereas guests are unlikely to take home burgers and franks. Hosts who find themselves with a substantial amount of left- overs should call a nearby food bank or homeless shelter to see if they accept left- overs as donations. * Organize the menu with friends. Some people feel that party etiquette dictates that guests bring something to the party. While this is a great way to relieve hosts of some of the financial burden of hosting a party, it can also produce waste if guests bring the same items. In the days before the party, hosts should contact their friends and family to make sure everyone is bringing something different. This reduces the likelihood that food will end up going to waste. * Recycle bottles and cans. Whether it's beer, soda or water, beverages served at bar- becues and pool parties tend to come in bot- tles or cans. To ensure a party is more eco- friendly, hosts should designate a garbage can for just bottles and cans, directing guests to discard these items in an eco-friendly way.

Sessions incorporate class- room-style instruction, hands-on learning activities, trips into the community, visits from special guest speakers, and technolo- gy-based learning opportunities. Each stu- dent will receive a curriculum binder filled with information, resources, and materials to keep and continue to use after SkIL ends. The curriculum will conclude with a cele- bration honoring participants with a Certificate of Participation.< br /> Like all of DAWNs programs and services, SkIL will follow the Independent Living Philosophy, which states that people with disabilities should have the same civil rights, choices, and control as do people without disabilities.Pre-Registration forms must be submitted to DAWN by all interest- ed candidates, and do not guarantee enroll- ment.

Lounging in a comfort- able patio chair is a great way to spend a warm summer evening. But choosing the right outdoor furniture for your patio is about more than finding the most comfort- able chair. The following are a few tips for homeowners looking to make the most of their patio space. * Consider the function of your patio. Some homeowners can't go a weekend without having guests over to entertain, while others prefer their patios to serve as a peaceful retreat from everyone and every- thing. If you're among the former, then you will likely want your patio to resemble an outdoor dining area, which means you will need room for a table and multiple chairs. If you want the patio to serve as a retreat, then you likely won't need a full dining set. Instead, choose a small table and one or two dining chairs, decorating the rest of the patio with a chaise longue or two, which allows you to stretch out and take a nap if you so desire. * Opt for low-maintenance furniture. When choosing outdoor furniture, keep in mind that the patio and the furniture on it is meant to offer a place to unwind and relax. Furniture that must be constantly cleaned or covered up because it can't brave the ele- ments cuts into your relaxation time. All- weather wicker pieces and metal chairs can brave the elements, and even do so for years and years. * Consider double-sided cushions. When constantly exposed to the sun, the fabric on cushions can fade fast. Though some home- owners combat this by keeping an umbrella open or adding an awning to cover the patio, that's not always a practical solution. Instead, consider double-sided cushions that can be flipped every so often to reduce fad- ing. * Don't overlook weight. Heavy outdoor furniture might seem more stable, but such items also are more difficult to move. That's tricky for homeowners who like to rearrange their patio furniture or those who prefer to move their furnishings into a shed to reduce their exposure to the elements. If you frequently move your outdoor furni- ture, then opt for items that are lightweight to make all those trips to the garage or shed a little easier. Find the Right Outdoour Furniture Page 16, July 2014, Tell Them You Saw It In The Roxbury News Like us on facebook www.facebook.com/mypaperonline Like us on facebook www.facebook.com/mypaperonline Tell Them You Saw It In The Roxbury News, July 2014, Page 17 Spending time at the beach is a popular form of recreation and keeping cool when temperatures soar. A day of swim- ming necessitates bringing along supplies, namely towels, sunscreen and maybe even a bestselling novel. Having a few dollars on hand also can be beneficial, especially for those who plan to visit shops or concession stands along the boardwalk. But keeping your belongings safe at the beach while you're playing in the water may require a little inge- nuity. Many beachgoers want to enjoy the sand and surf. However, a select number of people visit the beach hoping to take advantage of vulnerable people who leave their valuables unattended. When swimmers wade into the water, potential thieves may be canvassing the personal belong- ings swimmers leave behind, so it's best that swimmers take steps to protect their valuables. * Do not bring valuable items. It is best to leave expensive tablets, smartphones and jewelry at home if at all possible. If you are a beach reader, invest in a paperback for summer reading and leave your e-reader safely at home. Remove jewelry before you leave for the shore. Rings, earrings and necklaces can come off in rough surf and be lost forever. Flaunting a lot of jewelry could make you a target for theft. Establish a beach wardrobe of inexpensive attire that won't be missed if they happen to be stolen. * Don't advertise what you have. Avoid flashing cash or credit cards at the beach. Try not to showcase certain items, such as mp3 players or costly cameras, that you brought along to the beach. * Camouflage money. Wallets left behind on the sand become easy targets. Find ways to keep money and other belongings out of sight. A good idea is to use an empty sun- block container as a money holder. Clean it thoroughly and allow to dry. Cut the container in half or cut the neck of the bottle enough so you can easily insert cash, phones and keys. Stashed with other beach supplies, sunscreen will not look out of place. Women can store money in a sanitary napkin wrapper as another option. Any container that would blend in with other beach supplies will suffice. * Keep cash and cards to a minimum. The beach is not the place to bring all vital documents and large amounts of cash. Carry only what's needed, which may include only a few dollars and a driver's license. Should personal effects become stolen or get swept away by the waves, it is much easier to only replace a few items instead of the contents of an entire wallet. * Set up camp far from the incoming tide. Sometimes the incoming surf is a greater danger than potential thieves patrolling the sand. If the tide is coming in or if the waves grow rough, clothing, shoes, towels, and other belongings can be quickly dragged out to sea. It may require a bit of a hike to the water, but placing blankets, tents and umbrellas far enough inland on the beach can save your belongings from being washed away. Ensure a trip to the beach is a safe and enjoyable venture. Keep money, keys and other personal effects in mind when packing for your trip.

They brought along the movie equipment- Edisons kinetograph camera and Eastman Kodak celluloid film to record friend Mark Twain and his two daughters at his final Stormfield home in Redding CT. This film was going to be part of the story of The Prince and Pauper. In 1909 the technology had not yet been invented for com- bined audio and video recording. One year later Mark Twain died at the age of 74. His daughter Jean who appeared in this movie clip died in 1909 at the age of 29 from a sudden heart attack. This would be the only video of Mark Twain and the film is now part of the Smithsonian collection in Washington DC. Even though in this period of technology could not cap- ture sound on movie film, voice recordings were available many years before movie film. In 1891 Mark Twain attempted to dictate his novella An American Claimant on Edisons wax cylinders but all 48 recorded cylinders were lost. Later Twain read his stories with the newly improved technical quality of the phonograph at the Edison studio in New York City. However, these finished voice recordings were stored at the West Orange facility and in 1914 they were destroyed by fire. The wonderful narrative voice of Mark Twain that people experienced during his live stage presentations was lost forever. Actors who got to listen to his voice did their best at giving impersonations of this dis- tinctive voice. It is these impersonations that have been handed down that gives the essence of this famous authors voice today. Today we can still replicate the old film technology that Edison and Eastman had started. The Thomas Edison West Orange NPS will offer on Sunday, July 27th at 2:00 p.m. (RESERVATIONS REQUIRED. Call 973-736-0550 ext. 89) a special film production event. Participants will use the technologies and practices originally used by Thomas Edison in collaboration with MONO NO AWARE. Workshop participants will re-enact classic kinetoscope films at the Black Maria with props provided by FilmBiz. . It will be the same movie production the Edison studios did in the late 1800s. They will capture short sequences on black and white reversal film stock. All the films will be processed on site and presented at a special screening that will take place at 4:00 p.m. The films will then be scanned and transferred to HD by DiJiFi for participants to share with friends and family online. During the workshop, the cinema arts non-profit MONO NO AWARE will introduce the celluloid film format created in 1889 by George Eastman that allowed Thomas Alva Edison to develop the motion picture camera in 1891. It was a partnership and friendship that gave way to the birth of motion pictures in America Please visit Thomas Edisons West Orange lab where you can view these short films and take a look at the Black Maria studio.

While available year-round, California strawberries are most plentiful from May through August with the state producing nearly 90 percent of strawberries grown in the entire country. Not only are strawberries delicious, these pretty red gems also offer many health benefits. In fact, eating just eight medium size strawberries a day may improve heart and brain health, lower blood pressure and reduce the risk of some can- cers. Sweet additions California strawberries are versatile, making them ideal additions to summer dishes. Fresh, seasonal ingredients bring fla- vorful bursts to recipes at my restaurants and home, said Brian Malarkey, celebrity chef, restaurateur and spokesperson for the California Strawberry Commission. I love incorporating the natural taste of strawber- ries in both sweet and savory dishes for an unexpected hint of sweetness. From fresh fish and salads to lemonade and even barbecue sauce, just add strawber- ries to give any meal scrumptious summer flavor.

Expires 8/30/14 F rom weekend backyard barbeques to spontaneous weeknight gatherings, summer is filled with celebrations that bring friends and family together for fabulous food, drink and fun. Whether youre unsure of what wines to serve as the host, or the best refreshment to pick as a guest, you dont have to be a master sommelier to choose the per- fect wine pairing for every meal or occasion. As a general rule, nature has color-coded foods with the wines best suited for their fla- vors. For example, white wines pair well with light foods, while dark wines usually comple- ment richer fare. Here are some more specif- ic scenarios to help you enjoy the warm weather and good times ahead this summer. Wedding Showers and Celebrations Long summer days are a great time to cel- ebrate big life events like wedding show- ers and house-warming parties. Because many of these soirees include an assortment of foods, there are several routes you can take to discover the perfect wine pairing. For guests enjoying fresh, fruit salad or tilapia with a mango salsa, consider an herbaceous sauvignon blanc which will complement the fruit flavors with its crisp acidity. For those who prefer a more floral wine, a viognier may be the answer to go alongside any grilled chicken or seafood dish. Summer Barbeques and Daytime Events If a sunny, mid-day get together is in your future, there is one delicious pairing option to consider. For hosts who plan to serve a grilled selection, such as pork chops or saucy, smoky ribs, consider pairing the menu with an expressive and fruit forward red blend. Kendall-Jackson AVANT Red Blend offers a silky and smooth texture that begins with fer- mentation in neutral oak barrels to bring out rich, fruit flavors. A sultry mosaic of French varieties, the wine focuses on Syrah and Malbec with aromas of ripe raspberry and bold black cherry. Hints of spice and dark chocolate deliver a smooth, lingering finish, so this red blend will also complement a grilled steak or any other red meat favorite. No matter what festivities are booked on your summer calendar, this season is full of delightful sips for every event. For more ideas to make celebrations special, visit KJ.com/Avant. How to Select the Perfect Wines Page 22, July 2014, Tell Them You Saw It In The Roxbury News Like us on facebook www.facebook.com/mypaperonline B efore your family begins enjoying the great out- doors during this adventure-filled season, make sure your yard is properly treated to avoid the dangers of poison ivy, oak or sumac. Learn the proper steps to keep the threat of poisonous plants away from your family and property. Ashton Ritchie, Lawn & Garden Expert and Author offers this expert advice for protecting your family: Locating the danger Keeping your family safe begins with proper identifica- tion of these harmful, rash-producing plants. In the right environment, poisonous weeds can grow and spread quick- ly. Using a photo or resource like StopPoisonIvy.com can help identify the various poison weeds and their stages (Poison Ivy often emerges red and only starts to turn green in late spring). Survey your yard once a month, keeping a close eye on these common areas: Ground Cover: A common area for poison ivy is along the edge of a wooded area or around any shaded and less maintained section of the yard. Trees: By disguising itself as part of a tree limb, poison ivy often climbs up trees situated in shady locations. Edges: If you find that poison ivy continues to invade your outdoor space year after year, you may be experienc- ing the edge effect, a phenomenon that occurs when the wooded areas surrounding your yard dry out. Various weeds flourish under such conditions. Stumps: Dead stumps are also a common hangout for these harmful weeds. Eliminate the threat Once you have determined where the poison ivy is locat- ed, you can work to remove it from your surroundings. Look for a weed-eliminating product that works double- duty, such as Roundup Poison Ivy Plus Tough Brush Killer, which penetrates the waxy surface of poison ivy, oak, sumac, kudzu and other tough weeds, while also killing at the roots. Wear protection Before contact with these poisonous plants, always wear the proper clothing and protection. Be sure to cover your hands with thick, long gloves and wear a long sleeved shirt and pants in case you accidently touch the plants. Choose the right time Always choose a calm, wind-free day for applying prod- ucts to avoid contact with other desirable plants in your yard. If you can, it is best to apply with a temperature above 60 degrees F. Ways to Protect Your Family Outdoors Apply a weed-killing solution Spray a specialized weed killer, such as Roundup Poison Ivy Plus Tough Brush Killer on the leaves until sat- urated, taking care not to apply to nearby trees, grasses and desirable plants. You should always read and follow label directions. Wait for the plant to completely die Perennial weeds such as poison ivy may take 4 or more weeks for a complete kill, so be patient and follow the directions on the specialized weed killer packaging. Regularly monitor surroundings Keep new weeds from growing by surveying your out- door areas at least once a month throughout the busy weed- growing months of May through November. With proper application and monitoring, your family can enjoy all the outdoor fun without the worry. For more tips and tricks, visit www.StopPoisonIvy.com.
