Electric Prices Deregulated in New Jersey:

Businesses and Residents Save Up To 15% Monthly
and Receive A $50 Rebate Check

T
hanks to an innovative and comprehensive initiative
from the state of New Jersey, you are now able to
choose who you buy energy from. As with the
Phone Company and Cable Television, the state of New
Jersey has deregulated electric service. While your local
utility, Jersey Central Power and Light or Public Service
Electric will continue to be responsible for maintaining the
existing network of wires, pipes and poles, other licensed
suppliers can now provide the electricity at lower rates. It’s
the same electricity only at a lower price.
The relationship with your business or household does
not change and your utility company will continue to bill
you each month and service your account. And, if you have
a service contract with either PSE&G or JCP&L or if you
are enrolled in budget billing, noth-
ing changes. Except every dollar
saved goes directly into your pocket.
iConnectEnergy and Verde
Energy are offering all businesses
and residences in NJ reduced pricing
which can lead to documented sav-
ings of over 15% a month on the sup-
ply portion of your electric bill.
Additionally, a $50 check is issued to
each business or residence for sign-
ing up. There are no contracts to sign

Art At The Barn...All Year Round!

L
ocated on a country farm in Long
Valley, Art at the Barn opened it's
doors for the first time this June. "So
far I am really pleased." says owner
Dorothy Jaretsky. "We've gotten off to a
great start and I'm very impressed with the
children's abilities. Every child that comes
here loves art, and has their own style
whether its detailed drawing, an expressive
use of color, or a whimsical edge to their
work. My goal is to help develop and nur-
ture that style while teaching the basic prin-
ciples of art."
Children work in groups which allows
them to draw inspiration from each other. "
I like that we can share our opinions." says
9 yr. old Matthew Stanton. The kids of
AATB work in various media and go out-
side when possible to explore, draw and
gather ideas for projects. "We have a casual
atmosphere here, and encourage open dis-
cussion." says Dorothy. Eight year old bud-
ding artist Michaela Moran of Long Valley
comments "This is the most fun I've ever
had."
Art at the Barn will be holding an exhib-
it of student's work in October. Classes will
continue in the Fall and through the rest of
the school year."We have a nice mix of chil-
dren here." comments Dorothy. Ages range
from 7 to 14 yrs old. Advanced classes will
be added for talented teenagers who wish to
develop their skills. On Tuesday evenings
we will be holding single sessions for
adults. Dorothy adds, "People can set aside
time for themselves, come here, and leave
with a framed piece of art, all supplies pro-
vided. I'm looking forward to a fun year."

Operation Smile
At J. Thomas Jewelers
By Cheryl Conway
A
smile on someone’s face does not
stop with a jewelry purchase at J.
Thomas Jewelers in Flanders and
Sparta.
The full-service jewelry company is
reaching out internationally to put that
smile on children’s faces by collecting
donations for Operation Smile - an interna-
tional medical humanitarian
organization that provides safe, recon-
structive surgery for children and young
adults born with cleft lip, cleft palate and
other facial deformities.
J. Thomas Jewelers will match every
dollar that is donated through its stores
toward Operation Smile. For $240, in 45
minutes of time, a child’s facial deformity
can be corrected through Operation Smile.
“For such a small amount to change a
kid’s life, how can you not do it?” says
Leonard Girardo, owner of J. Thomas
Jewelers. “Here is something you can send
in a check and change a kid’s life forever.”
Since July, J. Thomas Jewelers has been
collecting donations for this worldwide
children’s medical charity. Customers can
place money in containers located at either
store or mail in checks.
“Every time we collect $240, we will
match it” and send in $480. Girardo says his
goal is to help repair the smiles of 100 chil-
dren.
Operation Smile began in 1982, after Dr.
William P. Magee Jr. - a plastic surgeon-
and his wife, Kathy Magee- a nurse and
clinical social worker, learned about the
need for surgical facial repair while travel-
ing to the Philippines with other medical
volunteers to repair children's cleft lips and
cleft palates. They discovered hundreds of
children ravaged by deformities and were
forced to turn away the majority of those
who sought help.
Through the help of thousands of dedi-
cated medical volunteers, advocates and
donors, Operation Smile was established to
provide free surgeries to repair these facial
deformities for children around the world.
According to operationsmile.org, “more
than 200,000 children are born with a
severe cleft condition each year — often
unable to eat, speak, socialize or smile. In
some places these children are shunned and
rejected. And in too many cases, their par-

Allergy Relief Without Side Effects

A
re you one of the thousands dreading this beautiful
weather due to seasonal allergies? For many peo-
ple spring and summer are seasons for allergies.
Allergies, or allergic rhinitis are due to an over-reactivity of
the immune system to certain allergens. During Spring and
Summer, allergies are generally induced by wind born tree,
grass, or weed pollen, and can cause such symptoms as:
sneezing; nasal congestion; runny nose; watery, itchy or red
eyes; headaches; fatigue; and sometimes coughing and
wheezing. When allergens and antibodies react in individ-
uals with allergic rhinitis, their nasal mucosa becomes
swollen and may obstruct drainage from the sinuses causing
sinusitis in many people. Thus, sinus infections are a fre-
quent complication and consequence of allergic rhinitis.
Allergies often times will trigger allergic asthma in both
children and adults. As a matter of fact asthma affects more
than one child in twenty.
While spring and summer are the seasons of the year that
bring us outdoors, many people are unable to enjoy these
warmer months due to uncomfortable symptoms. Chinese
medicine can help bring relief of symptoms; correct imbal-
ances of the immune system prevent the occurrence of
infection and allow healing of tissues of the sinuses.
From A Chinese point of view, allergic rhinitis is due to
a deficiency of the lung and kidney’s defensive-qi systems.
Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) has been treating
allergies and asthma for thousands of years. In 1979, the
World Health Organization listed 40 diseases that can ben-
efit from acupuncture. Respiratory tract diseases, including
asthma and bronchitis were included on that list.
Acupuncture and Chinese formulas help:
Improve and balance the immune system
Reduce allergic reaction
Reduce bronchial inflammation
Reduce nasal inflammation
Adjust the sympathetic and parasympathetic nervous
system in order to expand the walls of the airways
Reduce and withdraw mucus and phlegm
Increase the capacity of the lungs
Allergies often start in early childhood, with a constitu-
tional weakness, but it may also start later in life with a pro-
gressive decline of Kidney-qi. Lung and Kidney Qi
Deficiency is the root of the problem, therefore, with
Chinese herbal formulas and acupuncture we strengthen
and nourish these organs. The manifestation of the disease
according to TCM is wind invading the lung channel in the
nose. This accounts for the acute attacks. With herbs and
acupuncture we clear the wind, reduce congestion, and open
the nasal passages. It is necessary to treat both the symp-
toms (manifestation) and the root cause in order to produce
lasting results.
The Western treatment of allergies relies mostly on the
use of antihistamine agents. Unfortunately, antihistamines
only treat the manifestations (symptoms) of the disease and
not the root cause. In addition, they cause side effects such
as dizziness, fatigue, insomnia, nervousness, dryness, and
gastro-intestinal disturbance.
Chinese Medicine offers allergy sufferers a way to
strengthen their bodies and significantly reduce their symp-
toms, without unpleasant side effects. You do not have to
spend another season living with allergies! Call for your
free consult today.

Get to Know Oral Cancers

M
any cancers are well known and quite common.
Oral cancers, or those that occur in the mouth and
on the lips, aren't discussed as frequently but are
just as important to know about.
About 50,000 new cases of head and neck cancers, in
which oral cancers are grouped, are diagnosed each year in
the U.S. Roger Ebert, the famous movie critic, lost his
lower jaw from complications from oral cancer. He current-
ly uses computer technology to communicate and must be
fed intravenously because of an inability to eat in the stan-
dard manner. Denver Nuggets coach George Karl was
recently diagnosed with a squamous cell carcinoma on his
tonsil.
Mouth cancers can develop on the tongue, lips, cheeks,
gums, or on the roof of the mouth. These types of cancers
are treated similarly in most cases.
Because there can be many causes for mouth ailments,
oral cancers initially may be difficult to diagnose. There are
some symptoms that may be indicative of mouth cancer.
These include:
• a sore that will not heal
• jaw pain or stiffness
• a feeling of something stuck in the throat
• white patches on the mouth
• difficult or painful chewing
• loose teeth or improperly fitting dentures
• a lump or thickening of the skin of the mouth
Visit the dentist or a doctor if any symptoms persist for
more than two weeks. A professional will rule out other
potential causes, such as toothache or infection first.
Most oral cancers begin in the thin, squamous cells that
line the inside of the mouth and lips. These cells can mutate
and eventually cause tumors. If left unchecked, oral cancers
can spread to other areas of the body.
While there is no definitive cause for oral cancers, there
are certain factors that put a person at greater risk of getting
a mouth cancer. First and foremost is any type of tobacco
use. Smokers and those who chew tobacco are at a very
high rate for mouth cancer.
Individuals who use alcohol in abundance are also at a
higher risk. Other possible causes include:
• previous radiation treatment for other head or neck
cancers,
• unprotected exposure of the lips to UV rays, and
• contraction of the human papillomavirus (HPV).
Oral cancers can rob a person of the ability to speak, eat,
drink, and could result in some sort of disfigurement. Early
detection and treatment can help prevent these effects. That
is why a doctor should be consulted promptly if there are
persistent symptoms.

ents can't afford to give them the surgeries
they need to live a normal life.”
Girardo says he was looking for a way
to give back, and with Operation Smile, “in
such a short time, it can change a kid’s
life…appearance, self-esteem. When they
look into a mirror, it gives them more confi-
dence.”
With a presence in over 50 countries,
Operation Smile, which is headquartered in
Norfolk, Va., heals thousands of children
annually and to date has touched the lives of
more than 150,000 boys and girls around
the globe.
During the 2009 fiscal year, Operation
Smile volunteers around the world provided
free surgical treatment to nearly 13,000
patients. More than 62 percent of these sur-
geries were provided by in-country volun-
teers during local medical missions.
Giving back to the community is nothing
new at J. Thomas Jewelers. In Oct. 2009, it
collected more than $3,000 toward Susan
Komen Breast Cancer Awareness, and has
sponsored little league teams, fundraising
events with Junior Women’s Club, dona-
tions to tricky trays, high school band, fash-
ion shows and lacrosse.

S
cott County, one of eight distressed counties in
Tennessee, has a poverty rate of 20.2%. Part of
Appalachia, one of the poorest areas in our country,
the houses there are badly in need of repairs to make them
warmer, drier, and safer for the residents. An organization,
the Appalachian Service Project, brings together groups of
volunteers which stay for a week at a time, working on
needed repairs. This summer, a group which included mem-
bers of the Community Presbyterian Church in Chester,
travelled to Tennessee to work on the ASP.
“ We stayed at the old Winfield School and worked at
various sites in the county, mostly in and around the town
of Oneida,” said the Rev. Chris Scrivens, pastor of the
Presbyterian church.
All together, 85 people in 15 vans travelled about 14
hours to work on projects which included putting in decks
and steps ( many of the homes simply have cinder blocks
stacked to create entry and exit stairs), doing roof and floor-
ing repairs, doing drywalling, doing painting, installing
drainage pipes to dry very wet yards, and doing interior
plumbing fixes.
Thirty-five of those who went were from the Community
Presbyterian Church in Chester; other participating church-
es included: First Presbyterian Church of Stillwater, First
Presbyterian Church of Sussex, First Presbyterian Church
of Fairmount, Lower Valley Presbyterian Church and the
United Methodist Church of Califon.
The group was divided into teams which were given
projects. Each team was given the name of a TV game
show. Scivens was on the Hollywood “O”s. Joined by the
Hollywood “X”s team, they worked together on a house.

Appalachia Memories
“We were working on a small home that had been start-
ed by the homeowners, but was unfinished because of lack
of time and financial resources. The family was not present
most of the time, so we had only each other for company, “
shared Scrivens.
The “O”s did the interior work and the "X"s worked out-
side. Inside, they put up drywall (and also took some down
that was not installed properly) spackled and finished two
rooms with primer and textured ceilings. The outside crew
finished a deck, poured concrete for the bottom of the two
sets of steps on the deck, and began to install soffit and facia
around the outside of the roof hangover.
There were some challenging and uplifting moments
along the way, as Scivens explained:
“I think the best moment of the trip for me came on
Wednesday. Our group had been frustrated because the
spackle was taking forever to dry; six hour spackle was not
dry after over 16 hours because of the extreme humidity and
lack of ventilation in the home. We would walk in, in the
morning, expecting to sand the previous day's work and
move on, but things were still damp, and you can't sand
damp spackle. By Wednesday, our frustration had grown
and our group was getting to know each other. I only knew
one person in my group of seven, but by Wednesday, things
started to "gel". We looked at each other and decided that
we weren't going to sit around and wait for spackle to dry,
so we picked up our tools and started working through the
rest of the house, fixing problems and installing more dry-
wall. We went "off the paper" as far as the ASP staff was
concerned, but in the best possible way. That moment of
taking charge of our situation, together as a group, was piv-
otal in our week.”

The next afternoon, the team took a break and, covered
in drywall dust and paint, found its way to the Burnt Mill
River swimming hole, dove in and relaxed together in cool
waters of the river.
“ASP is an extraordinary "relationship pressure cooker"
that can be difficult to manage at moments, but generally
produces very special and lasting bonds between the partic-
ipants themselves and also with the families we serve.
When issues and conflicts arise, you don't have the typical
time and space to let the go; they need to be dealt with right
away. I think that is a healthy experience for younger and
older alike; to learn to deal with problems as they arise and
then move on, “ said Scrivens.
Scrivens noted how the trip touches people in so many
different ways. Working, eating and sleeping in such close
proximity with other volunteers bonds the group. Being in
an area where people have so much less, makes those that
visit there thankful for what they have. The trip and the
work done creates a variety of memories.
Reflecting on this, his third ASP trip, Scrivens said,
“This was my best year yet. Maybe because of two prior
years of experience in knowing some of what to expect, not
that any of this is predictable… or maybe it was simply a
combination of intangibles that created an amazing whole.
ASP is worth all of the months of preparation and
fundraising. It is worth the long hours of travel. It is worth
sleeping on the floor and suffering through bad meals. It is
work, the blood and sweat and tears that go into our proj-
ects. It makes me feel incredibly alive, and validates, and
strengthens, our calling to serve the Church of Jesus
Christ.”

Labor Day Weekend: The World’s Biggest ‘50s Party
by Elsie Walker
W
ould you like to relive the fun of
the 1950s or just see what that
era was all about? Would you
like to attend a ‘50s party that has been
going on for over 25 years? Then Lead East
is the place for you.
Known as the “world’s biggest 50s
party”, Lead East is held over Labor Day
weekend and celebrates the cars, music,
dance and styles of the era. It’s that car
event with something extra, which in this
case includes sock hops, drive-in movies,
cruising, doo wop a cappella groups, its
own version of “American Idol”, a prom
night, and more. Held at the Parsippany
Hilton, the event is open to spectators start-
ing on September 2nd. Admission prices
can be found at the Lead East website:
http://www.leadeast.net
The “host” of Lead East is Terry Cook,
president of Appleton Productions of Long
Valley. Cook’s early career included writing
for magazines such as Car Craft and Car &
Driver, plus time as the editor of Hot Rod.
Also, he created Deco Rides, for which
Cook’s mission statement noted, “My mis-
sion in life is to create cars that start with
the best looking classics ever designed, then
give them the hot rod treatment.”
Tell Them You Saw It In Black River News • August 2010 • Page 15
It is obvious that Cook loves cars. He
started Lead East as a car event that offered
more than the usual….and it does. (By the
way, in car circles, the word “lead” is a syn-
onym for “customized car. )
Cook expects that there will be 1,800
cars from 1972 and earlier on display this
year.
Last year, the cars displayed came from
more than 20 states and Canada. For many,
displaying their vehicles, Lead East is a tra-
dition, a place not only to show their cars,
but to see old friends and to remember a
more innocent era. That state of mind is
reflected by those do choose to don their
poodle skirts, saddle shoes, satin jackets
and get in the spirit.
Usually, the cars start arriving and regis-
tering on a Thursday. However, this year
another day was added to the event, with the
cars starting to arrive on Wednesday. Why
the change?
“…stronger demand from our customers other events, Lead East also offers an area music, and the culture of the ‘50s come
than ever before. They want it to start now where spectator parking is nearby. “….in back for a few days this Labor Day week-

Thomas Edison and His Phonograph
by Michele Guttenberger
T
homas Edison developed the phonograph in 1877.
By today’s standards it was a very simple machine.
It was manually powered by a hand crank that rotat-
ed a metal cylinder with tin foil wrapped around it. It had
two diaphragms and needle units, one for recording, and
one for playback. Recordings were performed by speaking
into a mouthpiece. Sound vibrations were traced by a
recording needle producing vertical hill and dale groove
patterns onto the record cylinder. Edison’s quest to devel-
op a machine to transcribe telegraphic messages through
indentations on paper tape, and then transmitted over the
telegraph repeatedly led to the phonograph player. His
voice to be the first voice ever recorded was Edison recit-
ing the intro words to “Mary Had a Little Lamb”.
On February 19, 1878 patent (#200,521) for the phono-
graph was issued. It was a highly original invention. The
only other similar invention was in a paper by French sci-
entist Charles Cros, written on April 18, 1877. However,
Cros's work was only a theory, and he did not produce a
working model of it.
Edison had fun with his new invention and recorded
some instructions for his business staff at Scientific
American in New York City. He presented the phonograph
on December 22, 1877. He placed his little machine on an
office desk, turned a crank, and the machine gave its
recorded message. How was everyone’s health today, it
vainly asked how they liked the phonograph, informed the
staff that it (the phonograph) was felling very well too, and
bid everyone a cordial good night." This invention was the
big business news event of the day and was reported in sev-
eral New York newspapers, and soon it was noted by other
American newspapers and magazines. The thought of
using the phonograph record for entertainment to record
music did not yet enter Edison’s mind.
What is amazing about this story is that this recorded
message was done without electricity, batteries, or fuel
motorized power. Power to record and play back the sound
was all done through a hand crank. This is true stand alone
wireless technology because it never needs an electrical
outlet to recharge batteries.
The phonograph was developed as a result of Thomas
Edison's work on two other inventions, the telegraph and
the telephone. In 1877, Edison was working on a machine
that would transcribe telegraphic messages through inden-
tations on paper tape, which could later be sent over the
telegraph repeatedly. This development led Edison to spec-
ulate that a telephone message could also be recorded in a
similar fashion. He experimented with a diaphragm which
had an embossing point and was held against rapidly-mov-
ing paraffin paper. The speaking vibrations made indenta-
tions in the paper. Edison later changed the paper to a metal
cylinder with tin foil wrapped around it. The machine had
two diaphragm-and-needle units, one for recording, and
one for playback. When one would speak into a mouth-
piece, the sound vibrations would be indented onto the
cylinder by the recording needle in a vertical (or hill and
dale) groove pattern. Edison gave a sketch of the machine
to his mechanic, John Kreusi, to build, which Kreusi sup-
posedly did within 30 hours. Edison immediately tested the
machine by speaking the nursery rhyme into the mouth-
piece, "Mary had a little lamb." To his amazement, the
machine played his words back to him.
Although it was later stated that the date for this event
was on August 12, 1877, some historians believe that it
probably happened several months later, since Edison did
not file for a patent until December 24, 1877. Also, the
diary of one of Edison's aides, Charles Batchelor, seems to
confirm that the phonograph was not constructed until
December 4, and finished two days later. The patent
(#200,521) on the phonograph was issued on February 19,
1878. The invention was highly original. The only other
recorded evidence of such an invention was in a paper by
French scientist Charles Cros, written on April 18, 1877.
There were some differences, however, between the two

Issues, Issues and More Issues
The greatest President in our history is
feeling our pain. He said he could relate to
the plight of Americans striving in the
struggling economy to pay bills while sav-
ing for their kids' education. He also said
that he is "not that far removed from what
most Americans are going through".
So I guess I feel better now. Obama is
going through some rough times like mil-
lion of Americans.
I know many people who are and have
been out of work. Struggling to pay the
mortgage and just trying to survive.
This guy has to be kidding me. Those
quotes are from a stump speech he gave
back on July 23rd.
Things must have really improved for
him quickly. If you were wondering where
the stimulus money went I think I found out
where some went. It went to the Obama’s.
I found this piece which really sums it
up. [Sacrifice] was a key theme in President
Obama's inaugural address to the nation ...
But while most of the country is pinching
pennies and downsizing summer sojourns--
or forgoing them altogether--the Obama’s
don't seem to be heeding their own advice
... To be clear, what the Obama’s do with
their money is one thing; what they do with
ours is another. Transporting and housing
the estimated 70 Secret Service agents who
will flank the “material girl” will cost the
taxpayers a pretty penny. I don't begrudge
anyone rest and relaxation when they work
hard. We all need downtime--the First
Family included. It's the extravagance of
Michelle Obama's trip and glitzy destina-
tion contrasted with President Obama's
demonization of the rich that smacks of
hypocrisy.
Does anyone recall when Bush won his
second term and the economy was in trou-
ble he scaled down the inauguration party
because it would not be right to have this
huge event when Americans were suffer-
ing? I guess the Obama’s feel it will help
the American people to see his family and
friends traveling the globe. Granted it is his
money to spend but we have to pay for the
security and the travel to get them there.
Would they pay for me to travel to go on
vacation? Next stop for the President,
Martha’s Vineyard!
Arizona. What is happening here? The
federal government does nothing to stop the
illegal’s from crossing the border and free
loading on taxpayer dollars. Arizona just
takes the federal law that is in place but is
not being enforced and makes it there own.
So what does the White House do? Sue the
state to stop the law from taking effect.
Why? One can only feel it is a political
move for the November election.
The judge kept most of the law in tact
but the important part that would allow
police if stopping a person for a violation to
ask for poof of citizenship. Maybe it’s just
me but is there something wrong with that?
So some liberal judge rules against the
majority of what people of Arizona wanted
and said no.
This is just another example of the court
system not working. Meanwhile when this
ruling was overturned, we have Mexicans
(illegal at that) dancing in the streets wav-
ing the Mexican flag, while desecrating the
American flag! Another slap in the face the
America….wake up! When will this lunacy

s a third-generation owner of The Polite Plumber
for the past 25 years, Willy Hughes of Hopatcong
continues the company’s traditional standards by
providing quality service at an affordable price.
Established in 1948, Polite Plumber is a comprehensive
residential plumbing services company. Technicians are
available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.
Passed down by his grandfather and father, the family
business has been enjoyable to Hughes. He appreciates the
interaction and providing a well-needed service to others.
“I just love the business,” says Hughes, a licensed-mas-
ter plumber in NJ and a licensed pump installer. “I see inter-
action with the customers and the opportunity to provide a
need. I’m following in my father’s footsteps.”
The company was established as Hughes’ Plumbing in
1948 by Hughes’ grandparents, Robert and Rose Hughes. It
was then passed down to Hughes’ parents, David and
Elizabeth. Hughes and his wife, Kathy, took it over in 1985
when his parents retired.
Hughes changed the name seven years ago to Polite
Plumber based on the comments they received by cus-
tomers for their “level of care and concern” of the customer.
“We have to be polite,” says Hughes. “We have a name to
live up to.”
Polite Plumber currently services 2,400 customers annu-
ally in Hopatcong, Mt. Arlington, Roxbury, Byram, Mt.
Olive, Sparta, Randolph and Rockaway.
Services include residential plumbing, repair and reno-

vation; full-service well specializing in repair and replace-
ment; and a full-house safety inspection to check water
pressure, water temperature and washing-machine hoses.
The reasons to use Polite Plumber are endless.
Customers are given a two-hour window when waiting
for a technician to arrive for a service “so we don’t make
you wait all day,” says Hughes.
“Our office staff is friendly and courteous and operates
on a personal level,” says Hughes. “Our phones are
answered by live people 24/7.”
Upfront pricing is offered so there are “no surprises”;
trained technicians; well-stocked and well-marked truck
and computer to sort information; 90-day warranty on all
parts and labor; local company with a 60-year reputation;
owned and operated company with old-fashioned values
and service so “our customers feel like family.”
“Polite” plumbers are clean, uniformed, courteous and
well trained technicians.
“We wear shoe covers and use drop cloths and mats to
protect your property and we clean up after we are done.”
Those who use The Polite Plumber can also expect high
standards with use of quality parts and necessary permits,
as well as affordable, fair pricing with an unconditional sat-
isfaction guarantee.
Customers that purchase a service agreement are entitled
to discount pricing of up to a 10 to 15 percent on their next
service, says Hughes.

Harlin’s Point of View....
Open Space and You.
Perfect Together.
By Harlin Parker
M T
ost of the people living here in
our neck of the woods in the
northwest section of New Jersey
have one thing in common. We like it here.
We like the “elbow room.” We like the
open space. We like the farms with their
acres of corn fields. We like passing by
horses, cattle, and all those other farm ani-
mals. We appreciate living in this area.
That’s especially true of the people I’ve met
who have lived here for many years.
However, many of those “old timers” are
chagrined, to say the least, having witnessed
all the development that has taken place
over the past twenty or so years. They cer-
tainly have a point. Those of us who moved
here, even recently, did so because we like
the area as it is! If we wanted to live in a
congested, overbuilt, sprawl of a communi-
ty, we could have done so. There’s no short-
age of sprawl in New Jersey, that’s for sure.
We’re here, often having moved away from
those congested towns, because sprawl and
congestion is what we do not want. Let’s
keep this in mind as we consider the diffi-
culties many of our residents are facing just
trying to hold on to their homes in the face
of ever rising property taxes.
By now, we all know the drill. Each year
our taxes go up and the services we receive
go down. Each year municipal officials try
mightily to push the dysfunctional and
obsolete machine of local government for-
ward. You know, it’s almost funny hearing
municipal officials crow about how every
year they do “more with less.”
Unfortunately, the sad truth is inescapable.
Each new year brings the same. Less costs
us more.
The truth is, due to the inherent structur-
al deficiencies of local government in New
Jersey, local municipal machines guzzle
down tax dollars faster than my dad’s old
V8 powered Lincoln guzzled gas. Every
year local officials scramble to find more
and more dollars to feed the machine. To
get those additional dollars, municipalities
engage in an ugly and oftentimes vicious
game known as the “ratings chase.” Towns
elbow each other out seeking development
projects that will bring in more and more
property tax dollars. And since each town,
no matter how small, considers itself its
own kingdom, cooperation on “smart
growth” planning just doesn’t happen. The
result is what we now have in New Jersey.
It isn’t pretty. It isn’t smart. And most
importantly, it just isn’t sustainable.
Numerous studies show that towns caught
up in the ratings chase cost more to run each
year and force up local property taxes more
than would have been the case without such
out of control development. Plus, home-
owner property values suffer as a result.
So for those of us who appreciate our
neck of the woods, with the open space,
such as it is, the passage of the Highlands
Act was manna from, well, from Trenton
(hard to believe, I know). By removing vast
swaths of land from the clutches of develop-
ers and short sighted local officials, the
inevitable congestion and sprawl that would
surely have enveloped this area has been
stymied. Keeping open space open is a
good thing.
Yet the hue and cry that followed pas-
sage of the Highlands Act has been ear split-
ting. While I grant that, in keeping with
New Jersey tradition, the law was enacted
and implemented with all the charm, grace
and precision our government is renowned
for, those who have been so boisterous in
opposing the law have been shown time and
again to be just plain wrong. Each and
every court challenge has been turned
down. Each and every argument made
against the law has been ultimately dis-
missed. Even those who have the most
valid claim to our sympathy, our longtime
farmers, have seemingly done everything
possible to kill off any level of compassion
most of us have had for them.
Let’s understand something about our
longtime farmers. They played by the rules.
And we support people who play by the
rules. In lieu of any 401k plan, farmers
looked to their land as their retirement fund.
So it has been for a long time that farmers,
at retirement, sell off their land to develop-
ers who immediately, uh, develop. The
farmer then moves to Florida (or wherever
– but out of New Jersey) and his old neigh-
bors are stuck with dozens, even hundreds,
of new homes or new commercial build-
ings. Pardon me, but I don’t consider that a
very good neighborly thing to do. The
farmer gets paid a hefty sum and the
remaining residents wind up with hefty new
property taxes plus unwanted sprawl.
Thanks to the Highlands Act, that won’t

Tom’s Point of View...
Highlands Act:
An unbearable burden
by Thomas Lotito
he impact of the Highlands Act has
become an an bearable burden on the
communities within it's grasp.
Municipalities within the Highlands region
are feeling the pinch of decreased revenues
due to loss of ratables while scrambling for
dollars from an ever shrinking piece of the
pie. Enrollment in schools within the N.J.
Highlands is decreasing. School expansion
projects of the recent past seeking new tax
dollars to maintain itself is haunting home-
owners struggling to pay their mortgages.
Real estate development in the Highlands
Region is strictly prohibited. Properties in
the Highlands Region have been substan-
tially devalued. Economic hardship through
loss of land values have rippled through the
community, farmers being hit the hardest.
Banks unwilling to lend farmers the needed
capital to raise crops have caused a down
turn in the local economy.
In a recent letter to the editor Kate
Millsap of the Highlands Coalition (a grass
roots environmental group) dismissed the
idea of towns within the Highlands chasing
new ratables. Ms. Millsap said "The ratable
chase does not work. Municipalities with
the highest ratables have the highest proper-
ty taxes. More building means more munic-
ipal services." Why is Ms. Millsap and the
Highlands Coalition criticizing towns for
going after new ratables? Ms. Millsaps
statement is disingenuous and misleading
for the following reasons. If a municipali-
ty's ratables are increasing it's because peo-
ple are building new homes on privately
owned land. It also means a robust econo-
my and low unemployment. Towns depend
on new ratables to deal with their tax issues.
A prosperous economy leads to higher
demand for private housing which also
leads to higher property values and a wind-
fall for the town.
Moreover, Ms Milsap's statement doesn't
take into consideration the the state mandat-
ed Coalition on Affordable Housing,
(COAH). Which by the way, is supported
on the Highlands Coalition's website and is
referred to as an obligation. COAH is a pro-
gressive redistribution of wealth scheme
foisted on communities and towns by the
Supreme Court of the State of NJ. COAH's
plan is to build five low-income homes per
acre within Highlands region, these homes
will need sewers, water and garbage collec-
tion. Not to mention the strain it will put on
our schools with increased enrollment.
When this plan comes to pass your proper-
ty taxes will go up while your property val-
ues will go down.
The Highlands Coalition also has has a
link on it's website showing each town's
state mandated share of low income hous-
ing units required by law.
http://www.njhighlandscoalition.org/HTM
L/res_hpcitizens.html Ms. Millsaps state-
ment also shows a disregard for private land
ownership, prosperity and the local econo-
my. Miss Millsaps statement is based more
in ideology than reality. The truth is the
Highlands Coalition is against COAH
because it's true mission is stop all develop-
ment everywhere. In 2007 Siera club pres-
ident Jeff Titel threatened a law suit against
the Highlands Council and the state of NJ
for violating the Highlands Act. The suit
was dropped and a compromise made when
state funds were made available to environ-
mental groups.
In a recent article titled, " Highlands
Impact Being Missed" by former
Washington Twp Planning board Chairman
R. Gregory Jones. Mr Jones brings up an
unintended consequence of the Highlands
Act called the "reverse donut effect" when
he wrote, "Another future problem may be
the "donut" effect experienced by the Urban
Enterprise Zones instituted in New Jersey in
1983. The intended consequence was to
boost commerce and the local economy in
designated low income areas with sales tax
waivers and breaks for businesses. The
unintended result was to create "donuts" of
commercial ghettoes as retail fled from, or
failed in, the immediate outlying areas. A
similar “reverse donut” consequence of the
Highlands Act could be the continuation of
healthy commercial ratable growth in the
municipalities immediately adjoining
Highlands communities, resulting in lower
values in the Highlands towns as residential
services wane and taxes wax."
Ms Millsap, dismissed the "reverse
donut" effect on the Highlands when she
said,"Under a regional Comprehensive
Management Plan for more than 30 years,
communities in the Pinelands enjoy higher
property values and a lower tax rate com-
pared to neighboring municipalities outside
the region, as documented in the Pinelands

Avon Walk for Breast Cancer: A Personal Experience!

by Shannon Nash fer not to camp), 13.1 miles on Sunday and an incredible

E
very 3 minutes, someone is diagnosed with breast
cancer in the US. Every 13 minutes, someone dies
from breast cancer in the US. 1 in 8 women will get
breast cancer in their lifetime. Look around you, how many
women are in your life; mothers, daughters, sisters, wives,
nieces, friends, co-workers? How many of them will get
breast cancer? As a female, it' s a scary thought and I want-
ed to do something about it. Last year, while driving to
work, I heard about the Avon Walk for Breast Cancer
(AWBC) taking place in New York City. It's a 2 day, 39.3
mile walk that raises money for breast cancer. That night, I
went online and read up about the walk and requested infor-
mation. I contacted a bunch of women in my life asking for
anyone who would like to participate in the walk with me.
I received a few maybes and by the spring, I was signed up
on my own. This was something I wanted to do, whether on
my own with a group. I was determined if I was going to
do the walk, I was going to do the whole 39.3 miles of it.
In order to walk, you have to raise $1800. I spent my sum-
mer and fall training for the walk and fundraising for it,
including having bake sales with the proceeds going to the
walk, emailing and just talking to people about it. By
October, I was able to raise $2,400 and the entire New York
AWBC team raised about $10M. The money raised for the
walk not only goes to research, but it also goes towards
testing and treatment for those who can not afford it and
some of it is donated locally during the event.
On the day of the walk, I drove myself into NY, know-
ing only 1 couple that would be participating in the walk,
one walking, one on the crew. I ended up becoming an
unofficial member of their team and made some great
friends during the walk. The walk consists of 26.2 miles on
Saturday, camping overnight (or a hotel for those who pre-
closing ceremony that honors all those impacted by breast
cancer! For those who want to walk, but can't do the full
26.2 miles on Saturday, you can do the first 13.1 miles on
Saturday and the 13.1 miles on Sunday. Last year, there
were 4,000 to 5,000 walkers signed up for the NY event,
which consisted of men and women of all ages. Some were
survivors, some were walking for survivors, and others
were walking for loved ones that were lost to breast cancer.
It was such an incredible experience that I signed up for the
2010 walk during the closing ceremony of the 2009 walk.
Donating to this walk is just one of many ways to be sup-
portive. This walk is a large event and requires a lot of time
and people to make it happen. There are a lot of wonderful
volunteers who spend the weekend directing traffic, setting
up and breaking down rest stops and camp, helping out the
walkers and cheering everyone on. These folks are just as
important as the walkers because without all the volunteers,
this event would not happen. Another way to support this
cause is to train with someone. I do a lot of training on my
own, but I also have friends, family, co-workers and even
Shannon Nash
neighbors walk with me to keep me going.
I have family members on both sides and friends that ent times of the year if NYC does not work for you or if you

Original Edison Tin Foil Phonograph. Photo courtesy of
U.S. Department of the Interior, National Park Service,
Edison National Historic Site.
Edison took his new invention to the offices of Scientific
American in New York City and showed it to staff there. As
the December 22, 1877, issue reported, "Mr. Thomas A.
Edison recently came into this office, placed a little
machine on our desk, turned a crank, and the machine
inquired as to our health, asked how we liked the phono-
graph, informed us that it was very well, and bid us a cor-
dial good night." Interest was great, and the invention was
reported in several New York newspapers, and later in other
American newspapers and magazines.
The Edison Speaking Phonograph Company was estab-
lished on January 24, 1878, to exploit the new machine by
exhibiting it. Edison received $10,000 for the manufactur-
ing and sales rights and 20% of the profits. As a novelty, the
machine was an instant success, but was difficult to operate
except by experts, and the tin foil would last for only a few
playings.

Commission's 2009 Economic Report. First of all Ms.
Millsap's comparison of of the Pinelands to the NJ
Highlands is disingenuous. Towns with in the Pinelands do
not have the wealth accumulation of towns in the
Highlands. Morris county alone is the 6th wealthiest coun-
ty in the nation.
Secondly, Yes, the Pinelands Commission report shows
that property taxes rose slightly higher out side the
Pinelands than in the Pinelands. There are more million dol-
lar homes in shore towns than in the Pinelands. Also, there
is more economic activity at the shore, resulting in a
stronger local economy creating higher property values and
increased revenues to shore towns.
The unwavering intractableness of the Highlands
bureaucracy toward exceptions in the face of the over-
whelming needs of the community has become an unbear-
able burden. Washington Twp had it's development issues
well in hand long before the Highlands Planning and
Protection Act became law. To think that the Highlands
region is going to become and Eden is way too idealistic.
After fours years, Heath Village has now given up on it's
renovation plans, which did not expand beyond it's current
footprint. A new set of antennas for an existing cell towers
begged for by the Police and Fire depts was denied. A new
cell tower is being built at a greater expense with significant
environmental disruption. The Black Oak golf course has
been delayed for five years because of a generic ban on
extending sewers with in the highlands region. Black Oak is
building a huge new septic field instead.
Adjoining the Black Oak golf course is a forty nine
home Toll Brothers subdivision. It was approved by the
planning board with the assumption of hooking up into an
existing sewer line, which the Highlands Council denied.
Today the subdivision has 49 septic mounds, each an envi-
ronmental hazard of it's own. The sewer line was originally
planned because the West Morris High School septic was
failing. The golf course was willing to donate $2 million
toward the $7 million cost of the project, just to have their
clubhouse hooked up. It was a perfect situation for the
water treatment facility since the school was closed during
the golf courses peak utilization-- summer. When the
Highlands blocked it, our taxpayers had to pick up that $2
million.
These are just a few examples of the unbearable burdens
caused by the Highlands Act. I predict there will be more in
the near future.

In this type of matter, a judgment is
essentially a court order directing the defen-
dant to pay the individual who filed the

Smarter After-School Snacking
C
hips and a soft drink may be a con-
venient after school snack, but it
doesn’t do the body any good.
Believe it or not, there are snack options
that not only do the body – and the brain –
some good, but they taste good, too.
Omega-3s are fats essential to brain
development and continued brain health,
vision, prevention of cardiovascular dis-
ease, and normal growth and development
throughout childhood. However, they are
not produced in the body, nor are they found
in many foods. Fatty fish are an excellent
source off omega-3s, but fatty fish are not
on most kids’ after school snack menus.
However, there are other sources of omega-
3s, such as Omega-3 Milk from Organic
Valley.
"Adding milk high in omega-3s to our
daily diet is a simple, practical way to pro-
mote life-long health, and it is especially
important for families with young children.
Omega-3s are essential building blocks for
infants and children as they grow and their
brains develop," said Dr. Charles Benbrook,
chief scientist of The Organic Center.
With Omega-3 milk, Organic Valley
complements its pasture-based organic
milk—which already contains elevated lev-
els of the naturally-occurring ALA Omega-
3—with DHA and EPA, two other Omega-
3 fatty acids extracted from sustainably-
sourced fish oil. Each glass delivers com-
plete Omega-3 nutrition.
For a mouth-pleasing, brain-boosting
after school snack, try serving up some of
this fun String Cheese “Slaw” with a tall
glass of Omega-3 milk. It may just turn
chips into a snack of the past.

Lunchbox Love
No-Bake Butterscotch DRIZZLE melted morsel mixture over

W
hen it’s time to start making
school lunches again, I like to
pack a special homemade treat as
a way to say “I love you.” It’s a tradition the
kids will remember for years to come.
You can’t go wrong with the Original Toll
House Chocolate Chip Cookies – they’re a
classic lunchbox treat and always a favorite!
For a tasty no-bake recipe, try these
Butterscotch Snack Bites – you can make
them in three fun ways – in muffin cups, as
snackable bars or in mini muffin cups. The
mini versions are the perfect size for an
after-lunch treat. Along with a delicious
dessert, include a hand-written note with
words of encouragement for the day.
For more ways to bake some love for your
family, visit www.VeryBestBaking.com.
