the Giants, in March. This

novel is about the rise and
decline of some of earths
largest and most interesting
species that have become extinct in the last 500 years.
Born in Texas and raised
in Plainsboro, NJ, Campbell
moved to Morristown with
his family in 2007 where he
has begun teaching creative
writing to both adults and
children. I always wanted to
write, but its been a long and
winding road to get there, Campbell says.
A graduate in English from the State University of New
York at Purchase, Campbell began his career in book publishing. Eventually I became a freelance book editor,
which has been my main profession for the past 25 years,
Campbell states.
Along the way, I wrote whenever opportunities arose,
Campbell states, explaining that he worked part-time as a
travel writer for Lonely Planet. I coauthored over a
dozen travel guides with them, and in a lot of ways, those
experiences led to my focus today on environmental issues
and animals.
Campbells newest book, Last of the Giants, is focused on exactly that topic. Giants, which is not a scientific or biological term but refers to his choice of topic
animals for their sheer size as well as the species impact
on nature and on us.
Giants is about our impact on nature and animals,
and its about the need for conservation, especially of the

idea he tries to cover in his book, the idea of the topic scicontinued on page 2

entists are referring to as the sixth extinction.
This means [the current extinction crisis] is comparable to the top five other extinctions that have occurred over the history
of life on earth, Campbell states.
Currently, Campbell has been teaching
creative writing classes at the Writers Circle
which just began offering classes in Morristown. I try to inspire kids to simply
enjoy writing and to find their own voice,
Campbell says, noting that his teaching efforts greatly inspired him to publish his latest novel.
Since his career in teaching creative
writing for children began, Campbell explains that he has wanted to find a way to
make these more serious and scientifically
overwhelming topics more accessible to
young adults.
The central message of the book, Campbell notes, is one of compassion. We need
to act with more compassion towards the
animals in our world. But when it comes
to issues of species extinctions, what these

stories really drove home to me is that the
worlds extinction crisis could really be
thought of as a crisis of coexistence, says
Campbell.
Although the topic of extinction seems
like a very heavy if not depressing one,
Campbell notes that he finished [writing]
the book feeling a lot of hope. A lot of people are working very hard to save giant animals, and given the chance, animals can
adapt and adjust to change.
The animals whose stories Campbell
tells are a variety of recently extinct or endangered species including the moa, which
Campbell explains is the tallest bird that
ever lived. It could reach twelve feet tall
and weigh as much as a tiger.
In Giants Campbell expresses that
mankind needs to learn to live better with
wild animals, which Campbell says, is
something weve never been very good at,
as these stories show.
Another point to Campbells argument
for saving giant species is the balance

which some of these animals maintain in
the ecosystem. If some of these larger,
magnificent species are allowed to dwindle and fail, then an entire ecosystem may
unravel with them, Campbell says.
No one wants to live in a world without
tigers, rhinos, whales, gorillas, and elephants, and I sincerely believe well make
sure that never happens, Campbell concludes.

Morris Township Welcomes Two New Chiefs In Fire Department
By Cara Connelly
hief Jesse Kaar and Deputy Chief
Michael Nunn were recently sworn in
to their new positions. All prospective
firefighters must start as volunteers and Kaar
and Nunn were no different.
Kaar joined the department as a volunteer
in 1987 and Nunn became a volunteer on his
18th birthday in 1995. The department promotes from within the volunteer force to career positions.
According to Kaar, the volunteers are already trained, we know how they are as firefighters as we have worked and trained side
by side. Kaar was working for the public
works department before he was hired as a
career firefighter in 1999. Similarly, the new
deputy chief previously worked for the DPW
in Florham Park when he received the nod to
join the department in 2001. Both men are
graduates of Morristown High School.
Kaar always knew he was going to become a firefighter.
I grew up a few houses away from a fire
station and spent hours hanging around trying
to learn as much as I could, says Kaar. He is
a big believer that to be a good firefighter a

person has to be willing to do anything to
help someone out.
He credits his former chief, now retired,
Tom Gaylord, for instilling in him his deep
commitment to want to help others and his
dedication to his career. Kaar also believes in
on-going training and proper training on the
most up-to-date techniques in the form of
classes, classroom training and hands on
drills. He claims without proper training,
you are possibly putting the life of a fellow
fire fighter on the line. The Morris Township
department generally engages in two training
sessions per month.
Nunn has community service in his blood.
He comes from a long line of family members that have served in local fire and police
departments as well as in local government.
Nunns father is a retired township police detective and his grandfather was a volunteer
fireman dating back to 1943. Nunn has spent
the last fifteen years on the front line and in
the line of action. He admits, moving into the
duties as deputy chief has taken a little adjusting but is confident of his crew and their
level of training and professionalism. The

newly appointed deputy chief said he has an
open mind and encourages the sharing of
ideas. He mentors the younger fire fighters
and stresses the importance of looking for
and taking advantage of opportunities to better themselves.
The two new chiefs will continue to help
the community and residents of Morris
Township.
According to Nunn, the fire department

and the fire fighters do much more than just
put out fires. We field all kinds of calls and,
if we cant help, we find an agency, department or person that can help.
Both men credit their years of dedication,
commitment, leadership and job knowledge
to help them in their new roles and to manage
the township fire department.

Local Scouts Establish Lending Library At Soup Kitchen
By J. L. Shively
ocal Girl Scouts, Emma Dowling and Zoe Iorizzo
from Troop 1982, recently completed their Silver
Award which requires the scouts to create a sustainable project that benefits the community.
Both currently eight graders at Chatham Middle School,
the girls came up with the idea [for the lending library] as
a way to achieve their Girl Scout Silver Award, says Marla
Drury, Director of Development at the Community Soup
Kitchen.
The Community Soup Kitchen and Outreach Center in
Morristown has been open since 1984 and havent missed
a single day since then, says Tara Ryan, the Soup Kitchens
newest member and director of Programs and Services.
All donations and volunteer efforts are focused right
here in our own community, says Ryan, explaining that the
kitchen serves breakfast and lunch every day of the year and
even invites guests to come up for seconds and bring food
home.
The kitchen also hosts a free farmers market which allows guests in need to shop for fresh produce, meats,
breads, bakery items, flowers, etcetera, says Ryan.
The kitchen also offers many other programs, including
a knitting group, a memoir writing class, a veterans support
group with no discharge requirement and a nurse is on site
every Friday.
In addition to the soup kitchen there is also an Outreach

Center which, Ryan explains, is staffed by a social worker
and two outreach specialists. We help people with housing,
Social Security, clothing, personal care items [and] referrals.
Even with the great many programs to help local residents in need, the idea for the Lending Library satisfies another very different need. I love the book cart! Its a great
way to stimulate the minds and imaginations of our guests,
says Ryan, We try to incorporate literacy in a lot of our programs.
The Girl Scouts were able to accomplish the establishment of the book cart with a good bit of work and some help
from their troop. In addition to the work that Emma and
Zoe did, other members of their troop donated books for the
lending library, says Drury.
Currently the book cart consists of 25 different titles for
guests to read while they are at the kitchen or to bring home.
As space is limited, the kitchen is not looking to expand the
book cart at this time.
We do not expect to get the books back, says Ryan, explaining that the cart is a courtesy for guests to use however
they would like and includes books for all reading levels,
We wanted to be sure to have something for everyone, no
matter their age or reading ability.

SEED And Morristown Neighborhood House Jointly

Prepare Students For College
hanks to the generosity of SEED

(Sisters Enlisted to Empower
Dreams) and the Morristown
Neighborhood House, a subsidiary of Cornerstone Family Programs is helping high
school students prepare for college. The
college prep program is part of Teen Pathways to Brighter Futures, a Morristown
Neighborhood House workforce development and education program that focuses
on preparing teens for college access and
developing critical work skills for high
school students in Morris County.
The college prep program is open to
juniors and seniors who have a B or better
average in mathematics and English
classes and are college bound. Students
must also have demonstrated a work ethic

and desire to excel in their high school academics as indicated by grades, attendance
and teacher recommendation.
Funding from SEED allows the Morristown Neighborhood House to bring in
local college professors to work with students on mathematics and English.
The goal of the college prep program is
to help students increase their SAT/ACT
test scores and improve their college entrance opportunities. Sessions, held three
times per week, begin in October and end
in March, just prior to the local SAT/ACT
testing dates.

ment sees the college prep program as critical for leveling the playing field for its
students.
There exists a growing disparity in the
areas of education among disadvantaged
families, said Linda Murphy at the Morristown Neighborhood House. These
families usually are in the ethnic minority
and/or immigrants who have come to this
country seeking a better life. To achieve
this, they need a hand up.
Tiara B., a student in the program
gained more than just higher SAT scores.

Indeed, her scores improved by 60 points,
but she found the program gave her confidence to succeed. It helped me with my
overall confidence, stated Tiara. Ive already been accepted into three universities
and I have an interview at Princeton. The
program and teachers gave me what I
needed to strive beyond the SATs.

IMPLANT DENTISTRY
For over twenty years, implant dentistry has been a reliable option for patients
with missing teeth. With the ability to support a crown, an implant procedure
has the capacity to bypass drilling the adjacent teeth. Additionally, with the
recent availability of mini implants, implant dentistry has expanded its utilization to anchoring both full and partial dentures for a more secure fit. As they
provide an economic alternative, patients have been very receptive of mini
implants, as they make eating and speaking with dentures much easier.
Dr. Helen Chiu has always been involved in implant dentistry, making it an
integrated part of her everyday practice. From replacing a single tooth, inserting crowns or bridges, securing dentures, to creating multiple, full-arch reconstructions, she performs every step of each process, surgical and restorative.

Morristown even more inviting.

Table of Hope Reopened After Temporary Shutdown
By Miguel Diaz
arch 4 marked what residents of
Morristown thought was going to
be the last day that the Table of
Hope (TOH) doors would be open, but with
a little hope and a lot of support, the kitchen
was saved only two weeks later.
On March 17, the doors were reopened
because of many contributions received
from members of the local community and
from its online fundraiser.
Roughly 100 people are served by TOH
five days a week and the cooks are paid,
supplies are bought and trash removal also
costs money. The Bethel A.M.E. Church
contributes $50,000 annually to keep the
kitchen running with the money coming
primarily from members of the congregation.
The church did not always have TOH.
Back in 2011, the lower half of the church
was damaged from flooding. The Reverend
stated that the only way the church would
survive would be if it worked to serve the
community and not just the members of the
congregation. That idea sparked the interest
of donors and eventually, the renovation

began.
The renovation project cost over
$750,000 and that was all donated to us,
said Rev. Sidney Williams, Jr. We are very
thankful for the support weve received, so
in 2013 we dedicated the kitchen and the
fellowship to the Table of Hope.
TOH does not just feed the homeless;
they also feed lower income individuals
who struggle to make ends meet. According
to Rev. Williams, there are houses which
appear to be single family houses, but in reality, there can be up to about four poor
families.
Just last fall, Williams ran as a Republican for City Council in Morristown. According to Rev. Williams, one of his goals
was to promote affordable housing. The
reason he ran as a Republican was because
he did not see the Democrats of the town
taking affordable housing as seriously as
members of the Republican Party.
One of the local residents, who was
waiting for the food service to begin shared
his story, but did not want his name dis-
closed. I work six days a week at night.

One night I fell asleep in the car, you know
what I mean? But I work every day, its
hard to make it out here.
As the kitchen opened, the people signed
their names on the list and sat at their tables.
Some came as whole families and others
came alone, but were familiar with people
who showed up. On the far end of the dining area was a clothing area ran by Toni
Wright. She stated there is more than
enough womens clothing, but there is
never enough mens clothing.
Theres more to TOH than just feeding
and clothing the poor and under privileged

Storage Place And Low Interest Mortgage Needed To Save Shelter
By Cheryl Conway
rateful for some monetary and furniture donations in
her last call for help, the founder of a battered
womens shelter organization continues her search
for a hero to hold the mortgage.
Sandra Ramos of Ringwood, a pioneer advocate for battered women who has sheltered and strengthened women and
children for more than four decades is reaching out to others
to help save the shelter at risk for foreclosure.
The founder and director of Strengthen Our Sisters (SOS)
is looking for someone to hold the mortgage at a lower interest rate so she can continue to provide housing for 155
women and children in shelters located in New Foundland,
Wanaque and West Milford. SOS is a grassroots, community
based non-profit, program serving homeless/battered women
and children since 1977.
They are working with us, says Ramos about Rialto
Capital Management Advisors in Florida which currently
holds the mortgage bridge loan. She says she has six more
months to raise $15,000 to avoid a foreclosure.
Established in 1977 as Shelter Our Sisters - the first shelter
for battered women in North America- the organization
changed its name to Strengthen Our Sisters and has since
grown to eight houses, two day care centers, a food pantry
and a thrift store. The properties value a total of $2.5 million,
with $580,000 left to be paid.
A woman from Chatham recently donated $2,500; others
gave holiday baskets and furniture.

Lots of people donated food and Easter baskets but if they
dont have a place to live where are they going to keep their
Easter baskets? she asks. The same holds true with the furniture donations.
About 20 people recently have called offering to donate
furniture. Although grateful for all of the donations, Ramos
says the next hurdle is trying to find or afford a storage place
to hold the furniture.
People called to donate furniture, says Ramos. We
dont have room to store the furniture. We need a storage
place. People donating beautiful furniture.
Ramos says the furniture will come in handy for women
when they are able to move into an apartment or a place of
their own to live.
Through her shelter program, Ramos says thousands
have been saved during the past 46 years. Many of the
women and children her organization helps dont have families, are on section eight, have families or friends who
dont like them; who dont want to help them. We have a lot
of dysfunctional families.
We are the only shelter who will take people, says
Ramos. No one else takes these people from social services.
With two hotline numbers, Ramos has made herself available to help others- women who could have been forced to
live on the streets facing prostitution, living in cars, some having epilepsy or breathing disorders, she describes.
Ramos started her first shelter in 1970 in her three bedroom home in Hackensack. She had three small children at
the time, was facing divorce after ten years of marriage and
was in need of a roommate, she explains. One roommate
turned into 23 women in her house at one point, she admits.
Over the years, in 1977, her initiative became Shelter Our
Sisters. The mission of SOS is to break the cycle of domestic
violence, poverty and abuse by restoring balance and harmony through individual empowerment.
To support her organization, Ramos receives some money
from the Passaic County Dept. of Human Services, private
donations, counties and social services, but not enough to
keep it going. We have a transportation grant but they took it
away. We have five vans; we need help. Weve been running
for three and a half years with a non-paid staff, down from
a paid staff of 55 that were let go when SOS lost funding, she
says.
Ramos currently has 17 non-paid volunteers who drive the
shelter residents to look for jobs, to court, doctor appointments, social services, schools; they fix things, watch children.
SOS recently held a tricky tray and dinner fundraiser and
in May plans to host a 3K run/walk and later that month, a
Mothers Day fundraising event. For more details about these
events and SOS, go to http://www.strengthenoursisters.org/.
To make a donation or to help, email scb@optonline.net
or call Ramos at 973-831-0898 or 973-831-6156.

recognized and honored for their bravery by the 200 Club,

an organization of individuals that support public safety
professionals. Firefighters, police and emergency medical
providers risked their lives in 11 incidents involving fires,
car accidents, gas-filled homes and other emergencies in
Morris County towns.
First responders who put their lives at risk earn the Valor
Award; those who go beyond the call of duty are awarded
the Meritorious Award.
Were very lucky to have individuals like these keeping
us safe here in Morris County, said James M. Gannon,
president of the 200 Club, in a press release. Its an honor
to recognize their good work.
When citizens are in Morris County running away from
crime, these first responders are running toward the fire,
says Gannon during an interview with New View Media
Group. Its time to put them on a pedal stool and say
thanks for what they are doing.
Each recipient will be recognized, receive a plaque and
a 200 Club Bar to wear below their badge on their uniform,
explains Gannon, a member for the past eight years.
With 37 different police departments in Morris County,
submissions can be numerous. A review committee of the
200 Club meets to determine who is worthy of a valor
award or meritorious award.
People selected are the cream of the crop, says Gannon of Boonton Twp. The Morris County Chiefs Association, Medical Service Alliance and State Police provide
candidates to the 200 Club for consideration.
The 200 Club of Morris County was formed in 1971 by
a group of 19 concerned business and political leaders; the
group doubled by the end of the year and today involves
more than 1,100 members. The Morris County club was an
outgrowth of the Essex County Club, which was the first
200 Club in NJ that began in 1967.
Each member pays $200 in annual dues, thus, the 200
designation.
The first 200 Club developed in 1952 in response to the
fatal shooting of Arthur Meyers, a Detroit, Michigan police
officer, according to the club website. Following the shooting, a local businessman, William Packer, asked his friends
to donate to a fund in memory of the fallen officer and met
with the officers widow to support her finances and setup
an education account for their unborn child.
Since that time, 118 of these clubs have been established
in 28 states with additional clubs in Puerto Rico and Central
America. There are currently 18, 200 Clubs in NJ.
A non-profit, 501c3 organization, the 200 Club of Morris County supports local police officers, fire fighters, first
aid squad members, and NJ state police serving Morris
County who die in the line of duty.
When a public safety official loses their life in the line
of duty, the Action Committee of The 200 Club of Morris
County reaches out to the widow to offer emotional support
and financial assistance in the form of a death benefit to
help manage the financial burden during this difficult time.

The current benefit is $30,000.
The 200 Club of Morris County also awards an annual
benefit to each eligible child of the public safety official in
an effort to help ease the financial concerns created by the
loss of their loved one, as stated on the website. At present,
the annual benefit is $10,000 per child per year until age
18. Should the child continue onto college, the benefit is
increased to $15,000 per year until age 23 or graduation.
Since its inception in 1971, the 200 Club of Morris
County has distributed more than $4.3 million in survivor
benefits and scholarships to families. For 2016, the club is
nearing $1,100 that will be awarded in college scholarships
to high school seniors serving in a branch of public safety
or whose a parent is actively serving or retired from a public safety capacity in Morris County.
The scholarship committee voted to award 20 scholarships of $5,000 each. The scholarship awards dinner will
be May 16 at 6 p.m. at the Zeris Inn.
The 200 Club is supported by membership dues and private donations.
Every year that money goes out to help first responders, says Lou Nisivoccia of Randolph, previous president
of the 200 Club. If we can recruit more members, we can
increase the money given to those lost in the line of duty.
Weve been slowly increasing the membership. We need to
get the word out.
Last year, Nisivoccia implemented a Power of One program in which each member is encouraged to bring in one
new member.
A member for 15 years, Nisivoccia and his wife support
several charities and with the 200 Club We are helping
our neighbors right here in Morris County. I want to take
care of those people who take care of me every single day.

Morristown Launches Street Smart Pedestrian Safety Campaign
he Morris County Seat is home to

the latest efforts in the statewide
Street Smart campaign. Speaking
in the lobby of Town Hall, Morristown officials and community stakeholders
kicked off Street Smart Morristown, a
month-long pedestrian safety campaign
that will run through April.
The campaign is an effort that combines grassroots public awareness, educational outreach and high-visibility law
enforcement to change behaviors as they
relate to pedestrian safety.
Education is one of the most important things that we can do for our community and those that come to enjoy our
downtown, said Timothy Dougherty,
mayor of Morristown. Dougherty said. It
adds another level of greatness to our
community in a sense that we look at
every aspect, not just a development or a
new restaurant or a new boutique, but how
we make our quality of life the best it can
be for the ones who live here and for the
many thousands that come to visit.
From 2013 to 2015, there were 51
pedestrian-related crashes in Morristown,
including one fatal crash. Of those, 21
percent were a result of pedestrians jaywalking and 46 percent were a result of
pedestrians being struck while crossing in
a marked crosswalk.
Street Smarts check your vital signs

slogan emphasizes safe travel roles and
responsibilities to both pedestrians and
motorists. The vital signs are to be displayed on tip cards, posters, banners and
street signs throughout the community
and in local businesses as a visual reminder for drivers and pedestrians.
Following these traffic laws will go a
long way towards achieving a goal of zero
pedestrian deaths on our roadways, said
Trauma Program Coordinator Renay
Durling-Grover, explaining that Morristown Medical Center saw an increase of
37 percent in pedestrian injuries in 2015.
When citing these statistics, DurlingGrover emphasized that zero is the only
acceptable number.
TransOptions, a non-profit transportation organization, is leading the Street
Smart effort in Morristown. The North
Jersey Transportation Planning Authority
(NJTPA) launched five pilot campaigns in
various New Jersey towns over the last
two years and kicked off a new round of
campaigns in March of this year. NJTPA
and the New Jersey Division of Highway
Traffic Safety are funding the efforts in
Morristown. TransOptions is partnering
with Morristown, the Morristown Police
Department, the school district, as well as

C.H.A.N.G.E. (Creating Healthy Actions
thru Nutrition and Group Exercise) is a
three tier program which offers a weekly
fitness schedule, nutritional education and
services such as fitness parties and fitness
evaluations and monitoring. There is also a
Student Outreach Academic Reinforcement
(S.O.A.R.) program, drug counseling and
nutrition and fitness classes run by
Williams, his wife Teresa Williams, and
members of the church.
The S.O.A.R. program was intended to
reach out to the African American and
Latino communities, but the majority of the
S.O.A.R. program consisted of Latinos at
first.
The first year we ended up with like 95
percent Latino families, said Williams.
What I realized is that Latino families
want help, they want to be successful, they
want their kids to be successful. The first

year was a struggle because I didnt have
any bilingual anything. So by the second
year we had to revamp the program to accommodate Latino families, so we had
bilingual speakers, bilingual materials, we
have translation support.
Both programs (C.H.A.N.G.E. and
S.O.A.R.) were formulated to better the
youth through health and education. As part
of the S.O.A.R. program, there is an Awards
ceremony held every year and the fourth
Annual S.O.A.R. Awards ceremony is set to
be held on May 5.

from accidents. When approaching lights,
vehicles need to move over one lane so
people dont get struck by your car, says
Gannon.
Highway workers, those helping in
crashes, tow truck drivers, these people
need to be protected too, says Gannon,
who is running for Morris County Sheriff
after retiring from a 33 year career in law
enforcement and global security. The project consists of 13 billboards going up on
major roadways in the county to raise
awareness of the Move Over Law to get
people to slow down a little bit.
Gannon says, Its a dangerous, dangerous job in the public safety world. We dont
want to be giving benefits to widows and
said NJ Assemblyman Anthony Bucco.

TransOptions President John F. Ciaffone said In a booming town like Morristown, its even more essential that
drivers obey speed limits and stop for
crossing pedestrians, and that pedestrians
wait for the walk signal at intersections
with traffic lights and refrain from jaywalking by using crosswalks. TransOptions will emphasize these vital signs of
the Street Smart campaign through education and outreach, while our partners, the
Morristown Police Department, will be
strictly enforcing these laws.

Executive Director of the NJTPA,
Mary K. Murphy, in highlighting the
Street Smart efforts statewide, explained
that the Federal Highway Administration
has designated New Jersey as a pedestrian focus state due to our very high rate
of pedestrian-vehicle crashes. From
2009-2013, 697 pedestrians were killed
and more than 22,000 were injured
statewide.

St. Virgil Group Helps Keep Morris Plains Cleaner And Litter Free
s the weather gets warmer, groups

will be spreading out across Morris
Plains to pick up litter and recyclables that have been carelessly tossed along
roadways and in parks. The first to participate this year were a group of twelve students
from St. Virgil.
The St. Virgil group uses their mini grant
money to help fund their yearly trip to Appalachia to help do work in this very depressed area. Along with two adults the
young people were out on a chilly and drizzly first weekend in April to scour Simones
Park. They picked up seven large bags of
trash and two large bags of recyclables.
Simones Park, at the end of Mountain
Way, has been adopted by the sixth grade students from Borough School that have
pledged to go out and clean the park four
times a year. But Simones Park is a problem
area. Even with the Borough School group,
extra clean-ups, like this one by St. Virgil,
and the help of neighbors that live across the
street, litter is a consistent problem. Banners
in the park with the litter program logo Pick
Up Morris Plains Keep Us Litter Free as
a reminder to visitors have helped, but not
enough.
Litter is unhealthy, unsightly, and can be
a safety hazard. Simones Park not only has
soccer fields and open areas, but also has a
well-used playground, so that broken bottles
and crushed cans could lead to injuries.
Anyone can help stop litter by using the
many recycling containers and trash cans
placed throughout the parks, as well as all
along the main street, Speedwell Avenue.
There is also a recycling container placed
across the street from the train station. But
even more important, the attitude that causes
people to litter must be changed. People tend
to think that somebody else will clean up litter left in the street or on the sidewalk, especially in places where there already is a lot of
litter or places where the sense of community
pride is low.
Morris Plains wants everyone to take responsibility for their actions and pride in the
environment and the town dont litter, put
trash and recyclables in their proper place!
Morris Plains Councilman John Jack
Doherty is the liaison to the Clean Communities and Recycling programs and he commended the mini grant groups saying, We

are pleased that so many groups come out

during the year to help with litter pickups, but
hope our residents will keep our town a
community of caring and do their part.
The groups that participate receive grant
funds from the State Clean Communities
Program. Penny Manser is head of the Youth
Ministry at St. Virgil and said that, The mission trip we take each summer is ten days of
working with the people of Harlan, Kentucky, the 18th poorest county in the United
States. The families there are picked by lottery for help with roofing, plumbing, painting, ditch digging, sheet rock work, siding,

The rabbi will examine specific Kabbalistic texts and address how Jewish principles
apply to them.
We will talk about how revolutionary
Kabbalah in the Middle Ages was in the eyes
of rabbinic Judaism, and where it differed
from traditional approaches, he points out.
We will go through portions of Kabbalistic
texts, relating them back to the Torah and
showing how they are connected and how
they seem to vary from the Torah. In addition, he notes, We will reveal how Kabbalistic influences created parts of the prayer
book that we read weekly. Most readers are

unaware of the Kabbalistic influence, origin
or intent of these now familiar prayers.
This engaging series will present a new
view of Jewish sources and give people lots
to think about.
A master storyteller, Biller brings a fresh,
bright outlook to Judaism's traditional texts
and specializes in counseling Jews of all ritual levels looking to find meaning in both
modern life and rich Jewish traditions.

Childhood Insomnia
nsomnia, or trouble falling asleep or staying asleep, is largely thought of as an adult

problem. But children can suffer from insomnia as well, and that can prove disruptive
for the entire family. Children who do not receive an adequate amount of sleep can feel
tired and irritable, and may have difficulty
concentrating in school. Many factors can
contribute to the onset of childhood insomnia. Kids, just like adults, can suffer from
stress, which then manifests itself as worry
or an overactive mind at night, says the
Cleveland Clinic. Depression, anxiety, pain,

or other medical problems also may be the
catalyst for insomnia. While common insomnia medications used in adults are not approved for children, there are steps parents
can take. A solid bedtime routine, including
consistent bedtimes and wake times, can help
combat child insomnia. Try to identify stressors and remedy them as well. In some instances, a pediatrician or therapist may be
needed to help a child work through sleep-related issues.

Historical Museum Celebrates National Public Gardens Day
acculloch Hall Historical Museum (MHHM) in

Morristown plans to participate in National Public
Gardens Day on Fri., May 6, from 2 p.m.-5 p.m.
Now in its seventh year, National Public Gardens Day promotes awareness of more than 500 gardens throughout
North America as vibrant educational community resources.
MMHM invites friends and families to enjoy an afternoon
in the Museums historic gardens, which will literally be
buzzing with a delightful range of free childrens activities
and presentations. Visitors can meet a beekeeper and watch
honeybees at work in their hive; get the dirt on dirt with a soil
scientist; create art; explore the garden in a scavenger hunt;
and listen to stories under MMHMs renowned beech tree.
Highlights of the program include presentations at 2 p.m.
and 3 p.m. by Debbie Demmer, New Jersey Beekeeper member. Demmer will discuss beekeeping, demonstrate the clothing and tools used by beekeepers, and show an observational
hive complete with a queen bee.
Throughout the afternoon, Fred Schoenagel III, a research
scientist with the USDA Natural Resources Conservation
Service, will lead activities in a soil pit. Participants will learn
about the importance of and the nurturing of good soil.
At 4 p.m., Dr. Patricia Pongracz, executive director of
MMHM, will lead a garden tour, which will highlight the various uses of the Museums historic gardens during the last
200 years.
There is no admission fee for visitors, but pre-registration
is required. Contact Cynthia Winslow, museum educator at
973-538-2404, ext. 16 or cwinslow@maccullochhall.org.
The gardens at Macculloch Hall were planted in 1810 by
the first residents, George and Louisa Macculloch (17751858, 1785-1863, respectively), and have been in continuous
cultivation for more than 200 years. Cultivars in the historic
gardens include the wisteria trellised along the rear porch,
which was given to the Macculloch family by Commodore
Matthew Perry in 1857; the sassafras tree at the far end of the
lawn, believed to be the second oldest and largest sassafras
tree in New Jersey; and heirloom roses, with cultivars dated
before 1920. One rose, known only as the Old Macculloch
Hall Rose, likely dates to the earliest part of the gardens history.
Today, the landscaped grounds are planted for seasonal
bloom: daffodils, tulips, and other bulbs welcome spring, followed by the historic wisteria in May, roses in June, dahlias
in August, and a selection of perennials throughout the summer and fall. The grounds also feature a large kitchen garden,
comprising four beds, which serves as an outdoor classroom.
Planted with herbs and tomatoes, this garden is a fitting tribute to George Macculloch, who is believed to have grown the
first tomato recorded in NJ in 1829.

Thomas Edison His Hallmark Of Personal Success A Super Garage
By Michele Guttenberger
he hallmark of every successful businessman is to own a family mansion
and to have a state of the art garage.
Thomas Edison had both.
His Glenmont estate home in West Orange that he purchased in 1886 was the decorating and design concept of the former
owner Henry C Pedder. However, Edisons
garage was his own innovative design and
creation that he built in 1908. Edison oversaw
the construction himself because it was an
entirely new creation in building construction.
Building his private garage helped him to
launch his new business venture a patented
technique of constructing mass-produced,
poured-cement houses using iron molds. His
garage and the original Yankee stadium became the same cement poured by his own
Edison Portland Cement company.
Since Thomas Edison was in the vehicle
battery business, he owned electric cars. And
in 1908 his garage included battery charging
stations for them. Edison invented the alkaline storage battery in 1901 and spent years
Roofing
perfecting it for use in automobiles. Edison

also had a gasoline filling pump in his garage
for his 1922 Model T Ford a gift from his
good friend Henry Ford.
The awesome custom feature of Edisons
Garage is the car turntable to help park his
vehicles. A hand crank rotated the resting car
to a desired parking position. The driver
never had to struggle backing the car into a
spot, the turntable did the navigating.
The garage helped turn Edison into an involved family man too. The garage gave him
the liberty to tinker with his sons Theodore
and Charles on home built motorized projects. At the age of 10, Charles Edison, future
governor of NJ, built with his dad a workable
vehicle from a two cycle marine engine and
a drive belt.
Today the garage houses a 1911 Detroit
Electric, a 1914 Detroit Electric, a 1922 Ford
Model T, a 1908 Locomobile and a 1936
Brewster. The garage is available for public
viewing by reservation.
The Glenmont Estate is also part of the
National Historic Park in West Orange accessible by visiting the factory Lab visitor center
for the schedule and reservation car and ticket

passes. It is located inside the private residential Llewellyn Park community. Visit website
for more info https://www.nps.gov/edis/
planyourvisit/basicinfo.htm.

Run For God Program Gets Family On Track
By Anastasia Marchese
n 2013, Dave Hickey presented his church family at Grace
Church on the Mount in Netcong with a new ministry,
Run for God. This twelve week walk/run program follows the book Devotions: Finding God in a Runners Space
by Mitchell Hollis. Run for God is a national ministry
which shows the parallels between principles of the Bible and
a running in a physical race.
When Hickey made his presentation, Steve and Aggie
Beede were on stage at the church, leading worship with the
praise team. We looked at each other and without saying
anything we knew we needed to do it, said Aggie. We were
overweight and out of shape. We started from zero, no experience whatsoever. We were feeling guilty, but not doing anything about it.
Steve and Aggie joined the first Run for God class that
Grace Church organized.
It teaches you how to eat healthy, what kind of shoes you
should wear, and how to avoid injury, says Aggie. You learn
how to stretch, all the basics to be a good runner/walker. It
doesnt only address physical health though, but focuses on
the connections between the physical race that the participants
are preparing for and the spiritual race of life- let us lay aside
every weight, and the sin which doth so easily beset us, and
let us run with patience the race that is set before us, Looking
unto Jesus the author and finisher of our faith, from Hebrews
12:1-2pp.

We learn to love God and understand his ways, says

Aggie. We have a half an hour of bible study. After the bible
study the class goes on to learn something health related, followed by a walk/run. The goal of the first twelve weeks is to
complete the Roxbury 5K Run. It is the graduation race. The
program goes slow, so by then you are ready, Aggie says.
Completing their first 5K wasnt the end for the Beedes,
but just the beginning of their journey towards continued
health and fitness. In the three years since, Steve has already
run two marathons and I have run three half marathons, and
this year I am ready to run the New York Marathon. Aggie
is excited to share the life changing effects this program has
had in her family. When asked what kept her and her husband
moving forward as runners after they accomplished their first
goal, Aggie was enthusiastic, You see changes in your body
and your bad habits. You accomplished a goal. You think,
Whats next? Lets keep going!
Aggie is clear that she doesnt attribute these life changes
to herself alone, When it is hard, we focus our eyes on God.
We say God carry me on.
Another part of the Beedes continued commitment to running and healthy living, has to do with the great friendships
that are cultivated through the Run for God program.
We make a lot of friends and continue to run together
and encourage one another, she says. When you go long
distance and you are going slowly you get to talk. We make
good friends. We make great, great friends.
