lare Gavin, a junior at Hackettstown High School
and resident of Allamuchy, is working on her Gold
Award project, the highest achievement in Girl
Scouts. Clare has been part of Troop 721 out of Allamuchy
since kindergarten Daisies. The following is her explana-
tion of the project and a description of what she needs to
accomplish her goal:
Cinderella's Closet---As the main part of my Gold
Award, I will be installing "Cinderellas Closet" in a room
at Rutherfurd Hall full of fancy dresses and prom gowns for
girls and young women in our surrounding community who
can not afford a formal dress during the holiday and prom
seasons. I am asking for donations of gently used and
CLEAN formal/prom dresses. Also, if you have any acces-
sories or shoes that go with the dress that you no longer
want, I will be accepting that as well. The girls I hope to be
able to help would be middle school age (holiday and 8th
grade graduation dances) through high school (proms and
holiday dances). If you'd like to donate your dress(es) to the
Closet, contact me at cgavin25@gmail.com or
9739700275. You can drop off donations at my house, 33
Sandpiper Drive, but please get in touch with me first.
I am also looking for dress racks like the portable kind
you might have in a basement or attic for off-season clothes
and hangers would also be a generous donation to make
Cinderella's Closet as successful as possible. I will
announce the dates the Closet will be open in another issue
of the Panther and in local papers, but I anticipate it will be
open on a date in the first week in December and again in
early Spring 2015. Please reach out to me at those contacts
if you would like to make an appointment with me to go to
the Closet to find a dress. Appointments must be made with
me so you can enjoy looking for a dress in Cinderella's
Closet with full privacy and confidentiality.

rea residents are invited to enjoy a
day of family-friendly music for the
cost of canned food donations that
will support the Community Foodbank of
New Jersey. Foodstock 2014, organized by
Sound of Humanity, Roxbury Recreation, and
Roxbury Arts Alliance will take place at
Horseshoe Lake Park, Roxbury, NJ, on
August 30, from 11 a.m. to 6:30 p.m.
For less than $10 the cost of four 16
ounce cans of food a family of four can help
New Jersey residents who dont have enough
to eat and hear eight different bands that are
donating their time and talents to support this
event, said Larry Salomon who heads Sound
of Humanity. All of the canned goods that
will be collected will go directly to the
Community FoodBank of New Jersey, which
has over 1,000 partner organizations through-
out the state of NJ.
Community FoodBank of New Jersey
(CFBNJ) distributes more than 40 million
pounds of food a year, helping feed more than
900,000 hungry people in the state.
Every day, we see hard-working families,
struggling seniors and vulnerable children
who face hunger, said Julia Kathan, Director
of Public Relations and Communications for
CFBNJ. Our latest numbers show that there
are more than 39,000 people in Morris
Country alone including nearly 16,000 chil-
dren who dont always know where their
next meal is coming from.
In some cases, the neighbors who are hav-
ing difficulties feeding their families are
working, and might not qualify for most
forms of public assistance.
We recently met a Morris County mother
who, like her husband, has a job but cant
make ends meet as they try to raise their two
young daughters. This womans eyes filled
with tears at a local food pantry. She told us,
Its simple. Food helps us live, said
Kathan.
Among the bands that have volunteered to
play for Foodstock 2014 are Matt Mead Band
(Elizabeth, NJ), The Bent Benjamins (West
Chester, PA), and Under a Ton (Roxbury, NJ).
Each of these bands will play music that
every member of the family can enjoy, said
Salomon. Additionally, there will be food
vendors on hand so you can buy lunch for the
family without having to miss a single note.
A few activities for younger kids will also be
available, at an extra cost, if your children
want to do something else during the festi-
val.
This event is made possible by the gener-
ous support of local businesses: Aires
Jewelers, D Lovenbergs Portable Toilet
Rentals, Kuiken Brothers, Merry Musicians,
PanAVid, The Powder Bar, and ShopRite.

ackettstown Mayor Maria
DiGiovanni said Hackettstown is
becoming quite a destination
place for patrons who love great food.
There are many excellent restaurants in
town, and this is why many individuals
make the trip from neighboring towns, and
beyond, to experience them.
This is part of the success that
Hackettstown has been enjoying, and it
seems to have some good momentum.
An event is being held early next month
to showcase these fine establishments.
The event will highlight what many fans
of local fine cuisine already know that
Hackettstown offers some stellar restaurants
that cannot be topped.
The Sept. 8 Autumn LampLight Dinner
is being held from 5 9 pm, and is being
called a very special dining event. Last
week, Mayor DiGiovanni spoke about the
upcoming event in a phone interview.
It is to be held on a Monday evening, and
Hackettstown officials are circulating flyers
that invite the public to discover
Hackettstowns finest cuisines under a star-
lit sky."
It is a unique event that will entice local
residents who are pondering the idea of
checking out some great, local food.
The flyers mention that, The fine
restaurants of Hackettstown and the
Hackettstown BID are presenting the first
annual Autumn Lamplight Dinner.
Twinkle lights will be in abundance,
and the setting will be the Gazebo/Moore
Street area. Fine cuisine will be featured
from participating restaurants.
Tickets can be purchased at any of the
participating restaurants and are $50 per
person, or $90 per couple.
"Save the date," the flyer reads. "It will
prove to be the Hackettstown dining event
of the year."
DiGiovanni said she recently did a rib-
bon cutting for TOPO Vietnamese Cuisine,
and added that people are really paying
attention to what Hackettstown has to offer
in the way of its fine food. The town is real-
ly being thought of nowadays as a destina-
tion.
Economically the town is now also a ris-
ing force after more difficult times, such as
in 2007 and 2008, she said.
This is welcomed because it is probably
Hackettstown Mayor Speaks About Town's Success,
Unique Stores And Fine Restaurants
safe to say everyone is hoping they never
have to go back to such difficult times as
those.
If it can be avoided, that would certainly
be a great thing. And if the economic cli-
mate of the local community can be an
uplifting thing, that is great too.
Now that things seem to be looking up in
Hackettstown, DiGiovanni said the excel-
lent restaurants and unique shoppes are all
part of the special character of the town, and
this is appealing to residents and visitors.
They are, in fact, often interested in com-
ing back to visit again to see what
Hackettstown is all about. This is expected,
since the town has such appeal and style
that people can be attracted to.
And Business Improvement District
(BID) Executive Director Jim Sheldon
continued on next page
noted last month that he was excited about
the upcoming Autumn Lamplight Dinner
event and that it would prove to be a great
time for the community. This will only help
to further its appeal.
And when Hackettstown restaurants par-
ticipated in town events in the past, it
always seemed to be a hit every time. Local
residents already know this and are likely
ready to support and enjoy this upcoming
event.
It will be beneficial for the economic cli-
mate of the town, and will be enjoyable for
participants.
In related news, the 8th Annual Street
Fair is also being held in Hackettstown on
Sept. 14 and will feature vendors and arti-
sans along with hometown businesses.
This event as well will offer good times
for the community and residents should
plan to enjoy and support this event also.

T
he dawn of a new school year is an
exciting time. Kids may not want to
say goodbye to days spent lounging
by the pool, but such disappointment is
often tempered by the prospect of returning
to school with friends.
For parents, getting kids ready for a new
school year is about more than updating
their wardrobe or organizing carpools with
fellow parents. Reacclimating kids to the
routine of school after a relaxing summer is
a significant undertaking, and the following
are a handful of ways for parents to get a
head start as the school year draws closer.
Establish a routine over the last few
weeks of summer. Summer vacations typi-
cally lack the structure of the school year,
and that lack of structure can help kids
unwind and make the most of the freedom
that summer vacation provides. But as sum-
mer starts to wind down, parents can begin
to reintroduce some structure into their kids'
lives to make the transition back to school
go more smoothly. Plan morning activities
so kids can readjust to waking up early each
day. In addition, serve breakfast, lunch and
dinner at the same time you typically serve
it during the school year so kids' bodies can
begin to readjust as well.
Take kids along when shopping for
school supplies. If you plan to buy your
child a new computer or other supplies for
the upcoming school year, take him or her
along on your shopping trips. Kids who get
to choose their supplies might be more
excited about returning to school than those
youngsters who are given what they need
without offering their input.
Monitor or assign summer reading.
Many students are given summer reading
lists to keep their minds sharp over the sum-
mer and prepare them for upcoming course-
work. Parents should monitor kids' progress
on such reading lists and even discuss the
books with their kids when possible. Read
the books along with them if you think it
will help engage them. If kids were not
assigned summer reading lists at the end of
the school year, assign your own books,
rewarding kids when they finish a new
book. Kids who read throughout the sum-
mer may be more likely to start the school
year off on the right foot than those who
don't crack a book all summer.
Encourage kids to sign up for extracur-
ricular activities. Many school-aged athletes
get a head start on the new school year by
trying out for sports teams. Such tryouts
often commence a week or two before a
school year is scheduled to begin, and this
How to Help Kids Transition Back to the Classroom
As a new school year draws nearer, parents can employ several strategies to help their kids read-
just to the rigors of the classroom.
can help kids ease their way back into the
school year. But even nonathletes can begin
pursuing extracurricular activities before
the first school bell of the year rings.
Theater programs may begin auditions or
encourage interested youngsters to attend
orientation meetings before the dawn of the
school year, and such sessions can be a
great and pressure-free way for kids to
ready themselves for a new school year.
The arrival of a new school year can be
both exciting and daunting. But parents can
help their youngsters readjust to school in
various ways after a relaxing summer.

tuttering is a frustrating and embar-
rassing problem for millions of peo-
ple, but it can be especially tough on
elementary school-age children. Help is
available for parents, teachers, and speech-
language pathologists at most public
libraries in the form of a DVD designed to
help school-age children who stutter. Some
libraries have an older video version. It's
meant to give speech-language pathologists
the tools they need to deal with stuttering in
this age group, but it also offers good ideas
for parents and teachers," said Professor
Peter Ramig of the University of Colorado
at Boulder. Ramig is one of five nationally
recognized experts appearing in the DVD
produced by the nonprofit Stuttering
Foundation. The DVD features students
from first through sixth grade, some of
whom talk about their experiences with
stuttering. They talk openly about the teas-
ing they face from classmates and how their
stuttering sometimes makes them feel about
themselves. "We focus on demonstrating a
variety of therapy strategies that are appro-
priate in working with children who stut-
ter," adds Ramig. He appears in the DVD
along with speech-language pathologists
Barry Guitar, Ph.D., of the University of
Vermont, Hugo H. Gregory, Ph.D., and June
Campbell, M.A., of Northwestern
University, and Patricia Zebrowski, P.D., of
the University of Iowa. These five experts
answer questions about stuttering, refute
myths and misconceptions, and present
examples of therapy sessions showing how
stuttering can be reduced. More than three
million Americans stutter, yet stuttering
remains misunderstood by most people,"
said Jane Fraser, president of the Stuttering
Foundation. "Myths such as believing peo-
ple who stutter are less intelligent or suffer
from psychological problems still persist
despite research refuting these erroneous
beliefs." The 38-minute DVD, entitled
Therapy in Action: The School-age Child
Who Stutters, produced by the 67-year-old
nonprofit Stuttering Foundation is available
free of charge to public libraries nation-
wide. Other libraries that will shelve it can
contact the Foundation at 1-800-992-9392,

www.stutteringhelp.org or www.tartar-
mudez.org.

erry Cook thinks of
Lead East as a
work of art in
progress. It is Cooks
Appleton Productions of
Long Valley that has
brought the event, known
as the worlds biggest 50s
party, to life for 32 years.
Each year theres some-
thing different for specta-
tors to enjoy. Meanwhile,
it keeps true to its theme:
celebrating the innocence
and fun of the 1950s with
cars, music, B movies and
dance. This year from
Wednesday, August 27
through Sunday, Aug. 31st
the parking lots of the
Parsippany Hilton on Route
10 will turn back the hands
of time welcoming 1,800
classic cars, plus inside
having a variety of bands
and doo wop groups, sock
hops, and more.
So whats new this year?
Mr. Joe Jangles is a one
man performer who hails
from Detroit. Cook saw
him as a street performer in
Texas and knew he wanted
Jangles for Lead East.
I love this guy! said
Cook.
Cook shared that people
will see Jangle every-
where from Friday
Sunday.
Something that Cook
has long wanted for Lead
East is a Caribbean steel
drum band. This year,
Lead East has one, in the
person of Mustafa
Alexander from Brooklyn.
Alexander will be playing
in the hotel lobby atrium on
Saturday and Sunday from
9 11:30am.
Teaching the Shag
will be Tony and Suzy
Eldrith of North Carolina.
Shag is similar to the jitter-
bug, but a little more com-
plicated. It is big in the
South, shared Cook. Shag
lessons will be given on
Friday and Saturday.
The showing of B
movies at a drive-in in
the Hilton parking lot is a
Lead East tradition. There
will be three B Godzillia
movies shown this year.
However, it is the first time
Lead East is showing a
Korean Godzilla movie.
Cook shared that it has
Godzilla dancing to rock
and roll.
There will be a variety
of vendors and a chance to
be an early Santa. Food,
toys, collectibles, and auto-
motive-themed items and
more will be on sale. Also,
the Military Transport
Association will be set up
among the outside vendors
in front of the Hilton, col-
lecting unwrapped toys for
Toys for Tots. All toy
donations collected will be
delivered to the US Marine
Reserve Unit at Picatinny
Arsenal. They will be dis-
tributed during the holiday
Mr. Joe Jangles, a real one-man band, will be strolling around
and performing during this year's Lead East.
Lead East Brings the 1950s to Parsippany
season to needy children in
the North Jersey area.
Of course, Lead Easts
roots is cars..and there
will be plenty of them.
People from about 22 states
will make the trip to the
Hilton to show their cars
and help add to the 50s
atmosphere. Cook has long
said that Lead East is a fam-
ily event and that is evident
by the people who join in
the tradition year after year
and those just discovering it
for the first time.

An Awesome Story of Success
F
ollowing his recent first-place award from the
Pocono Arts Council, Dr. James Gwynne, professor
of visual arts at County College of Morris (CCM),
now has had one of his paintings selected for exhibition at
the 15th Annual Wills Creek Survey in Maryland.
Selected for that exhibition is his painting As One, an
imaginative transparent combination of male and female
nudes.
The Wills Creek Survey is a juried art exhibition open
to contemporary visual artists from across the United
States. This years exhibition takes place September 13
October 10 at the Saville Gallery, 9 N. Centre Street,
Cumberland, MD. More than $5,000 in awards will be pre-
sented to artists during the Opening Reception and Awards
Ceremony on September 13.
In May, Gwynne, of East Stroudsburg, PA, was present-
ed with the first-place award in the Pocono Arts Councils
Members Exhibition for his painting Delicate Sky.
Four of his paintings also were chosen for the annual
juried Westmoreland Art Nationals, which took place in
July. Those entries consisted of a series of paintings of tele-
phone poles, titled After the Storm, Evening Fog with
Telephone Pole, Evening Pole Silhouettes and
Telephone Pole at Sunset.
A consistent award-winner, Gwynne has gained wide
recognition for his paintings including Best in Show at the
Westmoreland Art Nationals.
Gwynne joined the CCM faculty in 1972. He also has
taught at The College of Wooster and Centenary College.
He earned his B.A. from The College of Wooster, his
M.A. from Michigan State University and his Ph.D. from
New York University. His work has been exhibited in more

T
he foods a person eats can increase his or her risk of
developing various types of cancer. Sodium nitrite
and sodium nitrate are widely used as preservatives,
antimicrobial agents, colorings, and flavorings in cured
meats and many other products. Nitrates and nitrites are
commonly found in hot dogs and lunch meats. Once they
are consumed, nitrates turn into nitrites in the digestive sys-
tem, and it is believed that nitrites react with certain bodily
chemicals and turn into cancer-causing carcinogens known
as nitrosamines. Green, leafy vegetables and root vegeta-
bles contain naturally occurring nitrites as well. However, it
is believed that nitrites in vegetables do not have the same
effect on the body as artifically added ones, so the benefits
of eating vegetables outweigh these risks. But avoiding
nitrites does not mean people have to give up their favorite
foods. Many types of bacon, hot dogs, bologna, and other
foods now come in nitrite-free varieties, which is possible
byusing salt, vinegar and sugar rather than sodium nitrite to
cure the meat.

J
obs in health care are growing fast. In fact, the health
care and social services industry is projected to add
more than 5,000 jobs in Morris County between 2010
and 2020, according to the New Jersey Department of
Labor. With this growth, many local health care facilities
are looking to fill positions, but they need qualified appli-
cants. In order to fill these vacancies, people need to be
trained and certified. But what happens if someone is
unable to afford tuition for training courses or make future
loan payments?
Since 2011, County College of Morris (CCM) has
helped individuals start a career in health care by providing
no-cost training through the Health Professions Pathways
Grant. This grant was developed specifically to help recipi-
ents of Temporary Assistance for Needy Families (TANF),
General Assistance or other low-income individuals who
qualify, by reducing financial and other barriers to educa-
tion and training in a wide-range of health care occupations.
The Pathways Program is literally changing lives. To
date, more than 300 students have participated in the grant
program at CCM. Students have told us that they went
from a job they hated to a career they love. Many have said
they would not have been able to obtain this training with-
out the program because they never would have been able
to afford tuition.
CCM recognizes that the cost of tuition is not the only
financial barrier for many individuals in their pursuit of
education and job training. In addition, funding for related
expenses, such as transportation, tutoring, books, uniforms,
study guides, exam and license fees and even child care
may be provided through subsidies.
We understand the challenges of making a change and
work to help applicants and students through the process.
The college has specially trained staff to assist individuals
along the way, from determining whether they are eligible
to selecting courses and finding jobs. We have regular pre-
application information sessions at CCMs main campus
that are free to attend. Classes and on-site training are held
at CCM, Morris County School of Technology, Morristown
Medical Center and at Saint Clares Hospital.
CCM offers training for a wide range of health care jobs
from Certified Nursing Assistants and Home Health Aides
to Certified Medical Coding, Billing Specialists and Dental
Radiographic Technicians. Programs vary in length from
three weeks up to a year, depending on the field of study.
To inform people about the program, CCM is working
with nonprofits, health care facilities and other local
resources. Our employer partnerships are key to helping our
students find employment opportunities. Local hospitals,
long-term care facilities, and local medical practice groups
know CCM and the top level training we provide, so they
have come to expect that the students certified through the
Pathways Grant program will be successful members of
their staff.
We know that people in Morris County impacted by the
economic downturn or other circumstances need help find-
ing good jobs, so the Pathways Grant Program, offered
through the Northern NJ Health Professions Consortium
(NNJHPC), is an important piece of addressing these needs.
Consortiums like the NNJHPC are a model for how com-
munity colleges can work together to better identify eco-
nomic growth areas, form partnerships with local employ-
ers, assist applicants with the training necessary to become
employable within the health care industry. Our participa-
tion in the consortium has allowed us to be an integral local
resource by expanding our reach across northern New
Jersey to partner with county, state, federal and various
human services organizations. We are an intermediary
between available jobs and our students who want to pursue
or improve their careers.
In its Ready to Work report, the Obama
Administration noted they will work with leaders in [high
growth] industries to promote partnerships between educa-
tion and workforce institutions in order to create training
programs that help Americans succeed in these growing
fields.
CCM is doing just that right here in Morris County and
the Pathways Grant is allowing us to help others pursue
their dreams. There are still many grants available. To learn
more about the program and eligibility requirements con-
tact CCM at 973-328-2490 or visit www.ccm.edu/health-
grant.

ome one, come all, to the 1920s
Country Fair and Harvest Festival
with farm animals, wagon rides
around the farm, live music, a variety of
tasty food offerings at concession stands,
tours of the farmers home and the Foster
mansion, Charleston dance lessons, wood-
burning stove cooking and demos, old fash-
ioned games, and so much more! Join the
thousands of visitors who come each year to
this spectacular recreated country fair at

ing the Belgian draft horses, Jersey dairy
cows, chicken, sheep, and pigs, take a
wagon ride or a spin in an antique automo-
bile around the farm. Enjoy live music of

sidesaddle rider as she explains horse shows
at a typical country fair. Lend a hand cider
pressing, brush the Jersey cows, crack the
corn to feed the chickens, and milk our

activities, such as blacksmithing, an antique
gasoline engine demonstration, and learn all
about beekeeping and honey. Visit the
authentic 1920s Farmhouse where the farm
foreman once lived, and compare it to the
1854 Gothic revival-style mansion, The
Willows, once home to the Foster family,
the previous owners of Fosterfields.

Using pastry cutter, cut-in shortening and
peanut butter, until mixture resembles small
peas. Drizzle mixture with cold water until
mixture is moist and holds together. Roll out
on floured surface to at least 1/16th of an inch
thickness.
Using 3-by-5-inch index (recipe) card for
template, cut into sixteen 3-by-5-inch shapes.
Re-rolling works fine. In middle of eight
shapes, smear 1/2 heaping teaspoon peanut
butter and heaping teaspoon of jam on top. Be
careful not to go to edges. Using fingers, wet
edges with water and place another piece of
pastry on top. Press all sides well, and using
fork press all edges to secure. Using fork,
gently poke tops in four places so steam can
escape.
Place inch apart on parchment lined baking
sheet. Bake for 1314 minutes until starting
to brown around edges. Cool on rack.
Whisk together drizzle of choice in small
bowl. Drizzle over cooled tarts.
Note: This pastry is very user-friendly and
delicate. Freeze tarts up to one month and

T
he Blood Center of New Jersey
(BCNJ) is appealing to all eligible
blood donors and the community at
large for help with the current blood supply.
Current inventories are at dangerously low
levels and less than half a day supply is avail-
able for NJ hospitals and patients. Summer
collections are usually slower than normal but
this year the State Health Department is
reporting a 12% reduction in collections from
last year state wide. This has created a deple-
tion of readily available blood products for
hospitals and trauma centers. Our first major
objective is to make sure the blood is ready
when patients are in need and given our cur-
rent inventory levels, we are urging the pub-
lic to respond stated Tina Ilao, President and
CEO for the blood center. Demand continues
to outpace collections and BCNJ is asking the
public for their help in replenishing the cur-
rent blood supply. Anyone 17 years or older,
in general good health and who has not donat-
ed in the past 56 days are asked to consider
blood donation at this time. The Blood
Center of New Jersey requests that you visit
their web site at www.bloodnj.org to find a
donation site nearest you. In addition, dona-
tion centers are located in Parsippany and
West Orange to help with your donation.
Blood center officials note that each unit
of blood donated is broken down into several
components including platelets, plasma, and
red cells, so one donation can save up to three
lives.
The donation process is safe and simple.
Donors are first asked medical history ques-
tions and given a mini-health check, includ-
ing pulse, blood pressure, and iron level. The
actual donation of blood takes just 5 to 7 min-
utes, and then the donor is given a snack and
juice. The entire process generally takes
under one hour. Donors will receive a free
cholesterol screening.
16 year olds can donate with a consent
form signed by accompanying
parent/guardian, weight 120 pounds and be in
general good health. There is no upper age
limit for donors provided they meet health
requirements. Donors should bring a signed
or picture form of identification and know
their S.S. #. Please eat a meal one hour
before donating and drink plenty of water.
For those who have recently traveled out-
side of the United States and for other eligi-
bility questions, please call the blood center at
973-676-4700, ext. 132.
If you require any additional information,
please call 1-800-652-5663, during regular
business hours.

pontaneous droppings gleaned from bottom of the
Inspirational Bird Cage:
When NASA's robot, CURIOSITY, explored the sur-
face of the planet Mars, it reportedly found no evidence of
ESPN, empty beer cans or pornography, proving that our
astronauts were, indeed, the first men to have visited there.
A word to the wise is usually unnecessary.
RUDYARD KIPLING REVISED: "If you can fill each
unforgiving minute With sixty seconds' worth of distance
run, Yours is the world and everything that's in it, And a
heart attack before you're fifty-one."
Politics is the modern American art of getting money
from the rich and votes from the poor by promising to insu-
late each group from the greedy, self-serving goals of the
other.
Roseanne Barr and others like her exhibit a touch of
crass.
Too many cooks tend to make far more dirty pots and
pans than does one cook who is working without assistance.
Few things spotlight the illogic of American politics
more clearly than the selection of our Vice presidential can-
didates. After millions of dollars are spent in primary elec-
tions, the choice of our second-in-command is left, entirely
and arbitrarily, in the hands of the successful candidate,
with no input whatever from the electorate. Why not, one
wonders, bestow that honor on the second choice of the
nominee's party? This would seem to be a better idea than
anointing the hand-picked, politically expedient and often
Chips Off The Old Klock
feckless nominee of the front runner.
How come words of wisdom are so often in conflict?
E.g., "Haste makes waste" and "He who hesitates is lost."
Query concerning a respected old saying: If beauty is,
in fact, only skin deep, just what are we looking for:
Glamorous guts? Cute kidneys? Lovely livers?
Why do my children's birthdays make me feel older
than my own do?
Tell me how come we tend to be so apprehensive about
tearing off those "Do Not Remove" tags from new pillows,
blankets and mattresses? Like, what's the worst they can do
to us if we get caught in the act or are later ratted out by a
hostile bedmate?
You can succeed as a parent by simply making your
children feel safe, guided, wanted, loved and worthwhile.
Most of the other merit badges and demerits are likely to
befall you accidentally.
Give your pets and your kids everything they want and
you'll probably end up with good pets and troublesome
kids..
Always leave people you love with warm words each
and every time you part company with them; it might well
be the last time you'll ever see them in this world.
Rather frequently, people who say that something can't
be done are interrupted by other people who are actually
doing it.
Leisure, praise and rewards are best enjoyed when they
have been really earned.
By and large, as long as you feel reasonably good,
older tends to be more gratifying than younger.
Have you ever noticed that the things you love to do are
the things that you do best?
It makes little or no sense to expect that our children
will listen to our advice and ignore the conflicting examples
we set for them.
The best way to enjoy your children is to love them for
what they are, rather than thinking about what you'd like
them to be or what they might have become.
A good goal in life is to be all that you can be that you
WANT to be; chances are slim-to-none-that you'll ever be
more than that.
Most people really want advice for the same reason that
drunks want lampposts - for support, rather than for illumi-
nation.
Most people who are fond of saying that money isn't
everything usually have more than enough of it.
PARODY ON BARBRA STREISAND'S HIT SONG,
"PEOPLE:"
"Peepholes, people who use peepholes, are the yucki-
est people in the world. Through your curtains, they're
peeking through your curtains, Skulking about outside,
ogling your backside, Acting more like creeples than peo-
ples. (Granted, the foregoing opusette needs work.
Collaborators will be welcomed and royalties shared equi-
tably.)
A SENSIBLE RULE TO FOLLOW: Don't speak -
never utter a syllable - unless and until you are absolutely
sure that the sounds you make will be an improvement over
the silence you will irreversibly destroy.
ON PREDICTIONS: It's almost a sucker bet that the
future will arrive with a surprised look on its face.

uthors Diana Drew and Robert Grayson took an
inspiring sojourn as they wrote the new book
"Jewish Threads: A Hands-On Guide to Stitching
Spiritual Intention into Jewish Fabric Crafts" (Jewish
Lights Publishing). Exploring the intriguing stories behind
each of the book's 30 Jewish fabric craft projects from
throughout the United States and Israel, the authors redis-
covered many of the Jewish traditions underlying hand-
made fabric crafts.
Members of the Temple Hatikvah Sisterhood will retrace
the steps the authors took on the way to this spiritual awak-
ening on Sunday, Sept. 7, at 9:45 a.m., at the Sisterhood
Membership Kickoff Breakfast, at the synagogue, 58
Pleasant Hill Road, in Flanders. The Sisterhood
Membership Kickoff Breakfast is free and open to the pub-
lic.
In a special talk, titled "Jewish Threads: Crafting a
Jewish Life," the authors will discuss the spiritual journey
they took in writing the book and the Jewish traditions that
suffuse these crafts. Jewish cultural heritage will come to
life through the stories of these fine handcrafted pieces.
As part of this special event, attendees will have a
chance to hand-sew Feelie Hearts for grieving children.
These small, stuffed fleece hearts, which are given to chil-
dren who have suffered a terrible loss, are donated to organ-
izations both in the United States and in Israel.
Deep-rooted, spiritual inspirations and religious convic-
tions about life and death, peace and war, birth, marriage,
healing, family life, holidays, new beginnings, and how
those beliefs influence the work of fabric artists--all are
interwoven into the fabric of "Jewish Threads," which takes
readers on a journey of sacred creativity. The book presents
an array of fabric craft projects, plus the backstory behind
each of the pieces featured in the book--how and why they
Authors to Speak at Temple Hatikvah Sisterhood Membership Kickoff Breakfast
were made and what sparked the idea for each one. Among
the projects spotlighted in the book are tallitot (Jewish
prayer shawls) and Torah mantles, shulchan (lectern) covers
for the synagogue, Purim puppets, a knit seder plate, an
apples & honey Rosh Hashanah challah cover, a ChanuCats
quilt for Chanukah, and many more.
A section titled "Inspirations" includes stories of five
more projects that inspired the authors to write the book,
including a quilted chuppah (Jewish wedding canopy), cre-
ated collaboratively by members of National Council of
Jewish Women, West Morris Section, of which Drew serves
as co-president. Grayson, a prize-winning former daily
newspaper reporter and magazine writer, writes books for
young adults.
Says Drew, an award-winning writer and book editor, "
'Jewish Threads' brings together the disparate threads of my
own life--Judaism and Jewish observance, sewing and knit-
ting, writing and editing--while stitching together the
inspiring stories of fabric artists from throughout the United
States and Israel. Collectively, these personal stories, and
the projects that spring from them, form a patchwork of
modern-day Jewish life. The part introductions, written by
Robert Grayson, place these crafts in historical perspective,
with tales from the Jewish tradition that give these fabric
crafts added resonance today."

A Walk through Time

T
homas Edison could also be called the founding
father of modern day insomnia. The electric light
bulb has changed mankinds sleeping habits forever.
We are no longer influenced by natures schedule but our
own regulated sleeping schedule. Edison took advantage of
his own new manmade daylight schedule to become a well
known insomniac. But, he was not alone in his insomnia.
Recently discovered records show the unimaginable work
timetable he had with his team of 7 lab assistants that fol-
lowed his same condensed sleeping schedule.
They jokingly called themselves The Insomnia Squad.
They were a group of driven experimenters Edison selected
in 1912. They reached the hallmark of project commitment
when they intently worked for five weeks both day and
night to arrive at a solution Edison was obsessed in finding.
His focus was on the Diamond Disc record. There was a
million dollar inventory of phonographs sitting in ware-
houses but no records for them. He was in a predicament
because there were still bugs to be worked out in the man-
ufacturing process of the Diamond Disc record before it
could be brought to market.
Edison was known for his insomnia but never to this
extent where it continued for weeks on end accompanied
with a team. His wife Mina would check up on him when
his laboratory work called him away from his home life for
too long a period. This kept him from falling into extreme
sleep deprivation and physical neglect. She even placed a
bed in the lab library so he could get some bed rest.
However, Mina was not there to control this notorious 1912
insomnia marathon. Mina had unexpectedly rushed to
Akron, Ohio, to tend to her dying mother. This allowed
Edison to continue his work without any regulated controls
in his sleeping schedule and also driving his team to work
around the clock along with him.
Thomas Edison never slept a long restful night. If he
was intent on a project, his schedule was to work on it until
he was tired and then he'd lie down to sleep. He claimed
that when he awoke from these short sleeping intervals he
was refreshed and ready for work. Mostly, Edison believed
in the 15 minute cat naps that he often did seating at his lab
desk chair. Napping in a sitting position at the office desk
made it hard for his employees to tell if their boss was deep
in thought or napping. Edison said he personally enjoyed
working 18 hours with short catnaps each day and an aver-
age of four to five hours of sleep per night. According to
Edison Most people overeat 100 percent, and oversleep
100 percent, because they like it. That extra 100 percent
makes them unhealthy and inefficient."
Most of Edisons team were enthusiastic about their
work and felt honored working on these revolutionary proj-
ects with their famous team leader. There were relaxing fun
moments too. His lab had a pipe organ, Edison played it
after completing their work and his assistants would have a
sing along. Edison had the ability to inspire his assistants
and gain their loyalty and dedication by working hard
alongside them and joined them in the camaraderie of
unwinding occasions together too. When a new employee
Thomas Edison Was Famous for His Insomnia and Had a Team of Insomniacs Too
asked him if there were any work rules, Edison replied
"There aint no rules around here. Were trying to accom-
plish something."
You can visit the laboratory where he averaged 18 hour
work days and see the bed his wife Mina placed in the
Laboratory Library. Please visit The Thomas Alva Edison
