A
desire to give back
to the community
spurred action in
the ranks of the Roxbury
Marching Gaels.
While volunteering over
the summer, Jessica
Kriegsfeld was approached
by Janet Wald, director of
Roxbury Social Services,
about the Food Pantry's
empty shelves. Wald indi-
cated that the Food Pantry
was in desperate need of
donations in order to pro-
vide healthy options for
their clients and to maintain
the level of support upon
which the people that use
this resource depend.
Kriegsfeld enlisted the
assistance of her fellow
Marching Gaels Drum
Major, Grant Hastings, who
together approached Band
Director, Todd Nichols, for
permission to run a food
drive during the week-long
Marching Band Camp this
August. With Mr. Nichol's
approval, Kriegsfeld and
Hastings hung posters
around the band room and
distributed flyers to march-
ing band members request-
Roxbury HS Marching Gaels Run Food Drive
ing donations of non-perish-
able food items. As an
added incentive, those
marching band members
who are also Key Club par-
ticipants, received 1 Key
Club Point for every 4 items
they contributed. These
points can be applied
toward their yearly commu-
nity service quota.
Roxbury Social Services
Food Pantry, located at 72
Eyland Avenue,
Succasunna, NJ, accepts
donations on
Monday,Wednesday and
Friday from 8am - 1pm as
well as on certain Saturdays
(October 18th and
November 22th) from 9am-

et the Facts. Recognize the Signs.
Each year, approximately 22,240
women will be diagnosed with
ovarian cancer. In 2013, approximately
14,230 women will die in the United States
from ovarian cancer. Many women don't
seek help until the disease has begun to
spread, but if detected at its earliest stage,
the five-year survival rate is more than
93%. The symptoms of ovarian cancer are
often subtle and easily confused with other
ailments.

nrollment for the district was pro-
jected at 3,750, an increase from last
year's enrollment (3,730) reported to
the Department of Education.
Enrollment overall is up in the district
due to the new full-day Kindergarten pro-
gram, according to Roxbury's
Administration. At the end of August, the
district had 225 Kindergarten students
enrolled, up from the 185 earlier in the sum-
2nd Grader James DeChristofano and his little
brother Thomas now a Kindergartner at Franklin
school.

mer, according to Superintendent of
Schools Patrick Tierney. Some parents
said they specifically moved into the district
for the full-day kindergarten program. We
believe this program will greatly benefit the
community, Tierney said at the August 25
Roxbury Board of Education meeting.
Students returned to buildings that saw
major face lifts over the summer, due to a
$7.9 million Energy Savings Improvement
Program. The government-sponsored pro-
gram afforded the district to make long
overdue upgrades to the heating, cooling,
lighting and controls systems in the build-
ings, according to Tierney.
The new year also begins with an
expanded Chromebook Initiative at
Eisenhower Middle School and Roxbury
High School., for grades 7 through 11.
Roxbury Public Schools expanded the pro-
gram to grade 11 after the pricing structure
for the Google Chromebook dropped,
according to district officials.

T
he following material was salvaged from my ran-
dumb notes on floating scraps of paper hereabout.
None of it is ready, IMHO, for either full columnar treat-
ment or the shredder, thus it is submitted for your edifica-
tion, vilification, aggravation or forwarding to other
defenseless recipients.
- The past is a canceled check and the future, at best, a
promissory note, so don't piddle away the present with
pointless games of "what-if" and "if-only." Better to fix
what you can and forget what you can't....like,
maybe,TODAY!
- REMOTELY RELATED QUERY: Should terminated
pregnancies in Czechoslovakia be officially recorded as
canceled Czechs?
- 'Splain me this, if you can: When domestic animals are
found in inhumane conditions, they are taken away from
their owners. Young children in similar circumstances, on
the other hand, are customarily left with their delinquent
non-care-givers, who are subsidized for their negligence -
this, presumably, under the (dis)guise of the sanctity of par-
enthood.
- Among the higher aspirations of personkind (we are
striving here for political correctness) is inner peace, and
the road to that begins with acceptance - acceptance, that is,
of situations we are powerless to change. Implicitly, that
rules out anything and everything we ARE able to change
for the better. It follows that "awfulizing," also called "stew-
ing without doing," is never an acceptable substitute for tak-
ing action, however small a step it might be to toward solv-
ing or mitigating the problem at hand. Suffering in silence,
in a free society like ours, is a self-inflicted
wound...so speak up or SHUT up!
- Query for Atheists: How do you KNOW there is no
God...or do you just strongly BELIEVE that? If the latter,
you're in the same boat as the Doofuses you snicker at!
- The number of people in our nation who are receiving
Federal Food Stamps has grown to more than 46 million.
Meanwhile, the National Park Service continues to urge
people not to feed wild animals. Their stated reason is
because, "they will grow dependent on handouts and will
not learn to provide for themselves." A touch of irony here?
- "Now" is not a movable feast and "then" is not always
available for instant replay. As John Greenleaf Whittier put
it, "Of all sad words of tongue or pen, the saddest are these,
'It might have been.'" So, if a "one of these days" irems is
on your drawing board, why not pick this one? Life may not
be the party we had hoped for, but while we're here, we
might as well dance!
- With another Election Day coming up, there's one very
important question to ask yourself: "Have I listened to both
sides of the issues?" If not, PLEASE don't vote unless and
until you have done so!
- A greater danger for many (if not most) of us is not that
our aims are too high and we'll miss them, but that they are
too low and we'll shred the bull's-eye! (There's a high prob-
ability that some poor slobs invented 6-UP and Preparation
G, then gave up trying).
- Successful people are often simply ordinary folks who
just did what many of their contemporaries, and most of
their competitors, CHOSE not to do.
- A greeting card idea of mine that never made the cut
('specially down heah in the Southland):
"Christmas is a ball for people one and all,
Just gushing with good fellowship and cheer.
But I wonder why the hell I shouldn't wish you well
At this cold, unfriendly, crappy time of year?
Happy February 13th!"
- Similar fate for one of my unsuccessful stabs at a par-
ody writing (to the tune of "Good Night, Irene."):
"Just t'other day I got married; we had champagne and a
cake.
Then me and my wife soon got parted, 'cause I made a
big mistake.
I said, 'Irene, good night, Irene good night. Good night,
Irene, good night, Irene.
But my bride's name was Phyllis."
- WORDS TO LIVE BY:
- Always try to forgive - even if and when you can't for-
get.
- Always do your very best. If that falls short of success,
go with the flow and try again.
- Always say something nice to everyone you meet
today...even "them" (you know who!)
- Encore reminder: Always learn to live with those
regrettable thing in the past that you can't remedy now, so
they won't poop on your present or foul up your future.

Chips Off The Old Klock
Y
ou might want to use this particular
month as a useful reminder to take
action on what could be one of your
most important financial goals: leaving a
meaningful legacy.
A legacy isnt simply a document or a
bunch of numbers its what you will be
remembered for, and what you have left
behind that will be remembered. Its essen-
tially your chance to contribute positively to
the future, whether that means providing
financial resources for the next generation,
helping those charitable organizations
whose work you
support, or a combination of both.
To create your legacy, youll need to do
some planning. And you can start by asking
yourself a couple of key questions:
What are your goals? When you think
about leaving a legacy, what comes to
mind? First and foremost, you may well
want to leave enough money to help your
own grown children meet their financial
goals. After that, you probably have other
things youd like to accomplish. Perhaps
you want to provide resources for your
grandchildren to attend college? Or set up a
scholarship at your own alma mater? Give
financial support to a cultural, social, reli-
gious or scientific group? By thinking about
your goals and putting them on paper, even
in an informal sense, youll be taking the
important first step in leaving the legacy
you desire.
How can you turn your goals into reali-
ty? If you dont take some concrete steps,
your legacy just wontmaterialize. And the
most important step you need to take is to
create a comprehensive estate plan. Your
estate plan can be quite involved, because it
may involve several legal documents, such
as a will, living trust, health care power of
attorney, and so on. In creating these mate-
rials, you will need to work with your legal
and tax advisors because estate planning is
definitely not a do-it-yourself endeavor.
You probably shouldnt wait until you
are deep into retirement to take action on
your estate plan because developing the
necessary documents and arrangements can
take a fair amount of time and youll
want to make these preparations when
youre in good mental and physical health.
Also, the longer you wait to set up your
estate plan, the less likely it will be that
youve communicated your wishes clearly
to your family members, who may end up
unsure about what you want and what their
roles are in carrying out your plans and
thats an outcome you certainly dont want
to see.
In fact, clear communications are essen-
Your Legacy Is in Your Hands
tial to developing a successful estate plan.
You should not only tell your family mem-
bers and anyone else affected by your
estate plan what you are thinking of
doing but also inform them about the pro-
fessionals with whom you are working and
the locations in which you are storing any
vital documents, such as your will.
By identifying your goals, working with
the appropriate professionals to create an
effective estate plan, and communicating
regularly with your family members and
other key players in your life, you can go
a long way toward leaving the legacy you
desire. So, do what it takes to launch that
legacy.

he Vets Summer Fest 2014 had a
great turnout said producer Sandy
Mitchell in a recent phone interview,
and the military dedication ceremony was
an emotionally powerful moment, as atten-

new season-appropriate clothing, emer-
gency temporary shelter assistance, summer
supplies and survival gear. A special fund
has also been set up to acquire an all-terrain
Rapid Response Vehicle to reach homeless
vets in all locations in all weather condi-
tions.
Those who purchased a ticket to the
event helped to support the survival of our
homeless vets.
Operation Chillout website notes that
there are up to 7,500 Homeless Veterans liv-
ing on the streets of New Jersey. Many face
acute Post Traumatic Stress Disorder and
chronic illnesses of body, mind and spirit.
Operation Chillout is counting on help from
the public to enable them to move forward
with their year-round outreach work.
In the winter, Operation Chillout pre-
pares a backpack for a veteranman or
woman filled with NEW warm clothing,
toiletries, survival gear, sleeping bags and
information about local resources; delivered
free of charge at locations where homeless
people gatherlike food pantries, soup
kitchens, temporary shelters, abandoned
buildings, parks and alleyways.
In the hot summer, we collect and deliv-
er cases of bottled water, T-shirts and base-
ball caps. Operation Chillout's Rapid
Response Outreach Team is active 24/7-
365 days a year providing emergency serv-
ices to our homeless veterans.
This years event featured many great
regional bands, good food, cold beer, mer-
chandise vendors, a vintage car and motor-
cycle show, military displays and great fam-
ily fun. Gates opened at 10:30, and atten-
dees brought blankets and in certain cases, a
small chair to relax and enjoy the festivities.
Children had access to a play ground,
games and other fun activites.

Mitchell called the Vets Day event a
major fundraiser for Operation Chillout that
people really enjoyed.
She said, for instance, that homeless vets
need help to empower themselves and inte-
grate back into society. Without attention,
before you know it they become amongst
the forgotten.
To provide permanent housing for the
homeless vets, for instance, it takes money
to do that, said Mitchell.
Thats all part of what they (Operation
Chillout) do, she added.

Vets Summer Fest Helping Operation Chillout Provide For Vets In Need
By Ejvind Boccolini
G
aining self-confidence, greater ath-
leticism, and learning cognitive and
social skills are all benefits of
becoming involved in gymnastics.
Cheryl Moorman, Director of CS
Gymnastics, of Flanders, is celebrating 30
years of success and knows her students
have been succeeding right along with her.
Moormann said she is pleased with the
longevity of CS Gymnastics, and notes that
she has taught students who, years later,
grown with families of their own choose to
bring their kids to CS Gymnastics for class-
es.
Helping generation after generation of
individuals become involved and skillful in
the sport of gymnastics is an admirable
thing, and Moormann notes that there are
indeed physical benefits as well as non-
physical advantages.
Our goal is to promote all of them, she
said.
In general, physical benefits include
gaining muscle strength, healthy bones, and
flexibility, while non-physical benefits
include healthy brain functions, improved
academic achievements, social skills, and
reduced risky behavior.
Whether you view gymnastics as a com-
petitive sport or as recreational fitness,
Moormann said it has grown to become a
respected industry over the years. CS
Gymnastics is, in fact, an official club mem-
ber of USA Gymnastics, a national govern-
ing body of the sport based in Indianapolis.
On the CS Gymnastics website,
www.csgymnasticsinc.com, it notes that it is
the friendly, fun place of positive begin-
nings. It is dedicated to the total develop-
ment of each gymnast.
Some students work hard to greatly
improve their athletic skills by way of gym-
nastics, and some make it their goal to com-
pete.
Several of Moormanns students have
gone on to compete in college and she said
she is happy that her staff and facility can
provide a great stepping stone for such
students.
She said that as the industry grew over
the years, owners of gymnastics instruction-
al centers sometimes would each take on a
different focus and provide services
accordingly. Some owners will focus on the
success in fitness and life skills instructional
classes offer, others will strive to develop
potential Olympic athletes, and still other
owners will provide services and classes that
fall somewhere in between these scenarios.
Moormann also works hard to make her
courses quite effective and practical. On
their website, there are many courses offered
and each have their specific focus and style,
as well as age and skill level, of course. And
Moormann also takes into account that fam-
ilies may have multiple siblings, hectic
schedules, and that each child may prefer
different activities. One can see there is a
great deal of thought and integrity that goes
into the design and objectives of each of the
classes.
Their brochure easily explains courses
specific to various ages, activity and skill
levels. There are monthly payment plans and
discounts available when several siblings
attend the school, and students can choose to
attend two classes per week as part of an
accelerated learning program.
Karate, Cheer, and Art are also offered at
the school, which has 12 instructors and
about 12,000 square feet of space. There is a
viewing balcony which offers parents and
spectators an exciting and complete view
of the entire gymnastics training area.
When entering the gym area one is taken
with the colorful and clean surroundings
amid the great selection of pre-school to
competitive level equipment. This welcom-
ing environment allows us to host invitation-
al competitions as well as special class per-
formances during the school year. In addi-
tion to offering a thrilling event to view, we
hope to provide an inspiration of dreams for
young athletes to pursue, the website reads.
Moormann said there are perhaps 90
clubs in New Jersey, but only about a dozen
have lasted as long as CS Gymnastics. This
is certainly an excellent track record and
everyone involved at CS Gymnastics should
be very proud of this.
Currently Moormann said she has the
goal of pushing to improve and upgrade to
make our customer service top notch.
Moormann and her husband are continu-
ally looking for areas to serve the families of
their community. CS Gymnastics is known
to offer courses that work with individuals
of all age levels and abilities, and they even
have two instructors that work with special
needs children. These courses have resulted
in positive therapy and a great learning envi-
ronment for kids.
Moormann said she has a passion to see
all students succeed and grow as individuals,
and enjoys seeing when a childs face lights
up after learning something brand new
perhaps a certain gymnastics skill or making
it to the top of the climbing rope.
On Sunday, Sept. 28, from 2 to 5 pm,
there is an open house to celebrate their 30th
anniversary, and many activities being
offered. There will be activities to try from
all their programs including an inflatable
slide, obstacle course, balloons, prizes, and,
of course cake. Phone number for CS
Gymnastics is 973-347-2771.

P
lastic bottles are routinely recycled into other plas-
tic items and new bottles, but they can be turned
into much more. When you were sipping water
from that bottle, you probably never thought of the possi-
bilities of wearing that very plastic. However, fabric
innovators are turning disposed plastic into durable gar-
ments. When compared with producing virgin materials,
recycling plastic products helps save up to 70 percent on
energy costs. Recycled bottles can be broken down into
pellets of pure recycled plastic that is virtually indistin-
guishable from virgin plastic. Then the pellets are turned
into yarn, which can be woven as-is or mixed with other
yarns to produce polyester clothing. According to Waste
2 Wear, a recycled clothing company, anywhere from 12
to 20 bottles can be saved per garment and transformed
into anything from robes to shirts to uniforms. Recycled
clothing presents yet another way to turn trash into treas-
ure.
Did You Know?
By Cheryl Conway
T
wo local sisters who lost their father
to lung cancer two years ago are
stepping up awareness of the silent
killer by chairing and walking in the fifth
annual Northern New Jersey Free to
Breathe Walk later this month.
The event is set for Sunday, Sept. 21, at
Horseshoe Lake in Succasunna, with regis-
tration at 10 a.m., rally at 11 a.m. and the
5K walk beginning at 11:30 a.m. The walk
is being hosted by Free to Breathe, a nation-
al non-profit organization founded in 2001
to support lung cancer survival through
research, fundraising and public awareness.
Keri Rutkowski, 32, of Morris Plains,
and Kellie Smith, 35, of Morristown have
so far raised about $23,000 since getting
involved in Free To Breathe in 2011, after
their father was diagnosed with lung cancer.
Their goal for this years walk is to reach
$25,000, and to continue to raise awareness
of the disease; reduce the stigma that lung
cancer is a smokers disease; and encourage
others to get involved in the organization.
I couldnt save my dads life but we are
trying to save other peoples lives, says
Rutkowski. My dad did not have an easy
way out. The pain level he had to endure, no
one deserves that.
Their father, Mike Smith, of Morris
Plains was diagnosed with Stage 4 lung can-
cer in Feb. 2011 after worsening back pain
led to blood tests and a cat-scan. Rutkowski
recalls him complaining of back pain as
early as Dec. 2010, the same time the bliz-
zards came, she says. We figured he was
getting older. He was the type of guy who
shoveled everyones driveways.
But when the back pain got progres-
sively worse, Mike Smith went for addi-
tional tests which first showed an infection
in the lower back and then a weekend trip to
the emergency room for a biopsy of the
infection. After a cat-scan and bone scan,
they learned on Wednesday, that it was
Stage 4 Lung Cancer- Skima Cell
Carcinoma, with a tumor on his left lung
that had spread around his windpipe and
down parts of his spine.
After radiation treatments to shrink the
tumors on his spine, followed by
chemotherapy, Mike Smith- who was a
retired supervisor of a local water company,
volunteer firefighter and president of the
Mt. Kemble Fire Co.- fought the cancer for
14 months. He died on May 4, 2012 at the
age of 61, leaving behind his wife Peggy
Smith of Morris Twp.; son Matt Smith of
Manville; and two daughters-Keri and
Step Up To Lung Cancer Awareness In Upcoming Walk
Kellie.
While blindsided with the sudden
news when he was diagnosed, Rutkowski
and her family tried to stay positive
throughout the battle of fighting the disease
and she says this attitude helped in the end.
My father and I and all of us are very
positive people, says Rutkowski. We said
these are just statistics but we are going to
kick its butt. He fought for 14 months. I
really think the positive outlook helped
him.
As part of their positive mindset, Kellie
Smith found the local cancer walk- Free to
Breathe in 2011 for spirits and cheering
him on, and organized a team of about 30
walkers to participate. That was the only
year their father attended the walk, but the
ladies have been advocates ever since as
committee members last year and co-chairs
this year requiring greater involvement,
more planning and sponsorships.
New this year is a Kids Dash that invites
youngsters to complete a 100 yard dash.
In their fourth year participating, the two
sisters had 15 signed up on their team as of
press time, with hopes to have 25.

Besides raising money to support the
Free to Breathe Organization, the two sis-
ters have three goals as part of their mission
in fighting the disease.
When looking at statistics, they learned
that lung cancer is the silent killer, with
symptoms that exist but are often ignored as
something of a lesser degree.
Who thought back pain would be stage
four cancer? asks Rutkowski, regarding
her fathers diagnosis. It put a pit in my
stomach. A former smoker, Mike Smith
quit smoking 17 years prior to his diagnosis
because he wanted to live longer, says
Rutkowski.
If people had known what the symp-
toms are, situations if you are not feeling
right, if there was more knowledge or more
tests that could have been done? she ques-
tions. There are tests for prostate cancer or
breast cancer; why is there nothing being
used that is preventative?
One of the symptoms of lung cancer is
common stuff like a cough, but then the
diagnosis is often a cold or allergies. If its
persistent, they really need to get checked.
People call it allergies.
While attending an Action Summit for
Free to Breathe in Sept. 2011, Rutkowski
learned her roommates story of how she
was an advocate for her own health when
she took it upon herself to fight for a cat-
scan and they found she had early stages of
lung cancer. After having a lobectomy, the
woman from Ohio survived. She was an
advocate for her own body; she fought for
what she needed and won.
Rutkowski recalls her dad always had a
little cough ever since she was little. Even
with a regular check-up they said he was
fine. He needed a cat-scan or the blood
results.
Besides encouraging others to become
advocates for their own health, the two sis-
ters would like to reduce the stigma with
lung cancer. While smoking is the leading
cause for lung cancer, exposure to radon is
the second leading cause to the disease.
If you have lungs you can get lung can-
cer, says Rutkowski.
New cases of lung cancer shows that 10
percent to 15 percent of lung cancer victims
never smoked, totaling 20,000 to 30,000
non-smokers diagnosed every year. Other
risk factors include second-hand smoke,
radiation, asbestos, air pollution and some
organic chemicals.
For homeowners, Rutkowski recom-
mends checking radon levels every two
years to make sure that remediation is not
required. Every year Im checking it and
making sure its under zero, she says.
When we learned about lung cancer we
learned how much funding they werent
getting, says Kellie Smith about the scary
statistics. She says, People turn their
head because of the relationship to smok-
ing and how its self-inflicting. But You
dont have to smoke to get lung cancer.
People dont realize you just need lungs to
get lung cancer.
According to statistics, lung cancer takes
the lives of around 160,000 Americans each
year more than the total deaths from
breast, prostate and colon cancers com-
bined. Although lung cancer is the leading
cancer killer, it is still the least-funded of
all major cancers.
Their third goal is to market Free to
Breathe and encourage others to get
involved in the community.
We found that being with people was
very healing, it helped us cope, says
Rutkowski. People are very quiet about
lung cancer; its hard to talk about. Its nice
to know there are people who share that
experience and are trying to raise money
and awareness.
In addition to the annual walk, Free to
Breathe encourages other community
fundraisers. Rutkowski and Smith hosted a
pasta dinner last year raising $3,000; and a
charity garage sale this year that raised
$1,500.
Free to Breathe is a wonderful commu-
nity, concludes Smith. Its goal is to double
the survival rate by 2022, not an easy task
since lung cancers five-year survival rate
of 16 percent has not changed in more than
40 years, making the need for research
funding more critical than ever. In compari-
son, the five-year survival rate for breast
cancer has advanced to 98.6 percent and
prostate cancer to 99.2 percent, according to
statistics.

A
pple will be the word of the day
on September 27th. A variety of
mouthwatering apple items, plus
entertainment, family fun, auctions, sales
and much more will fill the grounds of the
Flanders United Presbyterian Church ( 58
Drakesdale Road in Flanders) as it holds
its 12th annual Apple Festival from 10am
4pm (rain date October 4th). The event also
includes a blood drive which hopes to meet
a special goal. Church members Kathy
Hinds Banfe and Karen Brand are co-chairs
of the festival.
We will be serving such things as apple
pies and breads and apple cider donuts.
There will also be an apple press for fresh-
pressed apple cider. We are also putting
together a cookbook of the items for sale,
said Rev. Rick Oppelt, pastor of the church.
Banfe shared that activities sure to bring
big smiles to kids will be a hayride, games
including a bouncy house, and arts and
crafts.
For those looking for things to buy, the
event offers a variety of things. RH Farms
will host a Farmer's Market; and for those
looking for a special little something at a
bargain price, theres.a $2 Buck Table. The
event also includes a silent auction of small
items and a live auction of larger ones.
Music, and even dancing, will grace the
area. The band, "The Middle Ages" will
play classic rock and new wave from the
70's and 80's. Dancers from the DeNogla
School of Irish Dance will also be on hand
to entertain.
Oppelt explained that the funds raised by
the event support church special projects
like youth activities, mission endeavors,
music programs and emergency situations.
The event also supplies a day of fellowship.
Our annual Apple Festival provides our
church an opportunity to come together to
provide a fun, safe and delicious day of
activities for the neighborhoods we serve. It
enables us to continue to be a lively
Presbyterian presence in our community, as
we have been for more than 50 years.
explained Oppelt.
Also, that day, the Red Cross will be
there for the 2nd annual Fred Swinson
Memorial Blood Drive. Oppelt explained
that Swinson was a long time active mem-
ber of the church who died in 2013. For
many years, Swinson spear-headed the
blood drive held at the Apple Festival.
Last year, it made sense to christen it
the Fred Swinson Memorial Blood Drive.
Last year, we had 32 donations, more than
Flanders Church Holds 12th Annual Apple Festival - Sept. 27th
we've ever had before and this year we are
shooting for a goal of over 50. One of our
high school seniors is helping to organize it
in an effort to earn a college scholarship
from the Red Cross, shared Oppelt.
September 27th is the date and the word
is apple. The Flanders United
Presbyterian Church apple festival is an
event not to be missed!

Come In For Your
Pink Extensions for fhe Cure!
100% of the profits from The Pink Extention For The Cure
go to The Susan G. Komen of North Jersey.
O
ctober is Breast Cancer Awareness month and
throughout October 31st, Alfonso's Salon for the-
fourth year in a row is joining the fight to defeat
breast cancer, the second leading cancer killer of
women.The salon is offering pink hair extensions to com-
memorate the cause. The extensions are available in a shade
of brightpink for $12 each and in order to eliminate.Cash is
required to eliminate any bank fees. There is also a limited
supply of pink feathers available. 100% of donations and
profits for this fundraiser will benifit the Susan G. Komen
for the Cure."We are proud to help where we can to raise
funds to assist research, increase awareness and promote
screenings," says,Alfonso Merola, owner/stylist of Alfonso's
Salon at Sutton Plaza.
"Breast Cancer affects so many families. I have seen it touch
the lives of many of my clients, and happily count many as
successful survivors of this disease, because of early detec-
tion.".The Salon has received two awards for their efforts to
help defeat breast cancer.The non-permanent extensions are
a simple process and it only takes minutes to apply, Alfonso
reports. "We compress the pink extension into the hair with-
out causing anyharm to the client's own hair. They look great
on women of all ages, from kids to seniors, with some cus-
tomers getting two or three at a time. They can be easily cut
to any length the client wants and will stay in as long as
maintained properly,client should come in with clean
hair,without any conditioning at the root area,a moisturizing
shampoo and or conditioner is not used on the root area so
that extension will not slip out.
Alfonso is particularly excited about working with
groups for this worthy fundraiser. Last year he was invited
to Morristown Medical Center to apply extensions for staff
during the shift change outside the caffeteria, and we are in
the process of setting up a schedule to do it again on 2 mon-
days in Oct.
Check our facebook page for the days and hours.High

F
ootball season can only mean one thing time to grab
the best seat in the house, and were not talking about
at the stadium. In fact, 77 percent of Americans think
the best seat in the house is at home in front of an HDTV,
according to a recent survey by McIlhenny Company,
maker of Tabasco brand products. Instead of heading to the
stadium, keep the tailgate at home and throw a homegat-
ing party.
The ultimate homegate is not only about the football game,
its about the food. No matter whats happening on the field,
the spread can be the real game-changer. In fact, the survey
found the following:
78 percent of American adults think good food can
make up for a bad game.
Americans spend, on average, 42 percent of the game
eating or drinking.
Over half of Americans (57 percent) voted the grill as
the most important appliance when hosting a homegate.
For a homegate touchdown, banish the boring and serve
beer-infused chili, which is sure to please all your family,
friends and football fans. For other ways to spice up game
day, visit www.tabasco.com.

September 22nd!
A
nother school year is underway and
with it comes homework, play dates,
team sports and more, which can
make the task of feeding your kids healthy
snacks a daunting one.
Fortunately, there are several ways parents
can make snack time easier and more nutri-
tious. Healthy, convenient and naturally
sweet options, such as California raisins, are
a great solution for snack time throughout the
school year.
California raisins are an all-natural,
dried-by-the-sun fruit parents can feel good
about giving their kids, says Larry Blagg,
senior vice president of marketing for the
California Raisin Marketing Board. The
ingredient list says it all raisins.
Because they are 100-percent fruit with no
added sugar, raisins contain zero empty calo-
ries, according to the United States
Department of Agriculture (USDA) Food-a-
Pedia website. In fact, a recent study present-
ed at the Canadian Nutrition Society, found
that children who eat raisins as an after-
school snack may prevent excessive calorie
intake and may increase satiety (or feeling
full) when compared to other common
snacks.
For naturally sweet and satisfying ways to
avoid falling into a snacking rut, follow these
simple tips:
1.) Dont leave snacking to chance. Avoid
unhealthy snacks by preparing nutritious
options ahead of time. Try a no-fuss option
like a hearty trail or snack mix and add
California raisins for sweetness without the
sugar.
2.) Make grab-and-go snacks. Make
snacks that are portable. On busy days, hav-
ing go-to snacks that travel well in backpacks,
lunch boxes, your purse or car will save time
and satisfy hungry tummies.
3.) Involve the kids. Create healthy habits
by involving kids in snack preparation. When
kids are engaged in creating their own snacks,
parents can make valuable connections
between food choices and nutrition. Choose
fun and simple recipes kids can make on their
own or with little help.

raisins and more great recipes, please visit

T
homas Edison had an unconventional education. He
did not start school until he was eight years old. Port
Heron Michigan did not have a public school so he
attended the private Reverend G. B. Engle School that was
closest to his home. This school had rigid classroom disci-
pline and Edison had a free inquisitive spirt that could not
be tamed. The school claimed Edison was a slow and rest-
less pupil and he needed strict reprimanding. His mother
Nancy Edison strongly disagreed with the schools evalua-
tion of her child. Fortunately, Nancy Edisons past profes-
sion was being a Canadian school teacher and her solution
was to home school her own son. The academic course
work Nancy Edison helped to motivate her son came from
reading R.G. Parker's School of Natural Philosophy and in
the later years from The Cooper Union (http://www.coop-
er.edu/). Historians estimate that Edison had less than a
year of classroom schooling in his lifetime. Yet, he had
great academic skills and a real passion for reading books.
Many of the books he read were advanced literary works for
his age.
In Edisons boyhood era, child labor laws were nonexist-
ent or very lax. It was not unusual for children twelve years
of age to procure regular employment with minimal adult
supervision. The Fort Gratiot train depot was a just a short
stroll from the Edison family home. So, at the age of
twelve, Edison found his first job working for the railroad.
He became a candy butcher on the Grand Trunk Railroad
selling snacks and newspapers to passengers. He got to
experience traveling each day on the sixty-mile run from
Port Huron to Detroit. Preteenager Edison hitched a ride on
the best the late 19th Century offered in distance high speed
transportation while most adults were still traveling by
horse and carriage to their jobs. The long lay overs in this
city presented him with a real world of discovery. This
enabled a precocious young boy the time to explore the big
metropolis on his own terms. He was given several hours
each day to the city. He made use of this idle time by join-
ing the Detroit Young Men's Society. This gave him access
to the place of his dreams, a large library and reading room.
Edison recalled his childhood library visits stating "I didn't
read a few books, I read the library."
Edisons childhood jobs kept him in the epicenter of
technology. It was the rail system that also ushered in the
telegraph system. The telegraph area was news the network
center that provided the information for the newspaper pub-
lication industry. As the rail station newspaper boy, he was
in the epicenter of all national news during a momentous
time of Americas own Civil War. Young Edison was alert-
ed to milestone battlefront news hours or even days before
the rest of America. This new technology of the telegraph
piqued his interest. He got to witness the telegram transmis-
sions being relayed and he read all he could about telegraph
communications with dreams of being an operator of this
new technology. Edison wish came true by a twist of fate.
Edison got the telegraph operator position when he saved
three-year-old Jimmie MacKenzie from a runaway train
heading his way. Jimmie's father was the Mount Clemens,
Michigan station agent J.U. MacKenzie and his gratitude
for saving his sons life was to train Edison as the new tele-
graph operator. This was a job that started the innovative
and technical journey that would become the hallmark of
his ingenious life.
Thomas Edison had an extraordinary blended education
of dual experimental and academic learning. But his deep-
est gratitude was to his professional academic teacher with
these sentiments "My mother was the making of me. She
was so true, so sure of me; and I felt I had something to live
for, someone I must not disappoint." And Thomas Edisons
childhood Fort Gratiot Depot was turned into The Thomas
Edison Depot Museum that offers educational programs in
electricity, energy, communications and magnetism to Port
Hurons local children.
