Welcome Noah’s Ark’s New Executive Director

ouie the rat happily plays in his cage and welcomes
visitors to Todd Cramer ‘ s office. It might seem
strange to have a pet rat in an office, that is, until you
realize who Todd Cramer is. In May, he became the exec-
utive director of the Noah’s Ark Animal Welfare
Association, Inc. in Ledgewood.
“Louie brings so much to the office environment. He’s
a reminder of what we do, “ said, Cramer.
Like the dogs and cats which Noah’s Ark helps to find

forever homes, Louie was a rescued animal. Before coming
to Noah’s Ark, Cramer worked in both the corporate and
non-profit environments, including working for the ASPCA
for the past 6 years. It was during an ASPCA outreach visit
at a shelter that he met Louie. Now, Louie is a treasured
animal companion. He even accompanies Cramer when he
does Noah’s Ark humane education visits, teaching children
about animals.
Although he’s only been its executive director a few
months, Cramer is no stranger to Noah’s Ark. As a commu-
nity initiatives director for the ASPCA, Cramer worked
with shelters in the New York and New Jersey region, help-
ing the shelters to move forward. One of those was Noah’s
Ark.
“Some groups you just get attached to, “ said Cramer.
Still, if you had told him a year ago that he’d be the exec-
utive director at Noah’s Ark, he admits that he would have
laughed. He liked where he lived and his job gave him the
freedom to work from home. However, when approached
about the job, Cramer admits there were several things that
drew him to it: he knew the shelter, the good job it was
doing, the passion both at Noah’s Ark and in New Jersey for
animals.
“Who wouldn’t want to be part of that,” he said. Todd Cramer holding Louie.

Temple Shalom Members Build A Place To Celebrate Jewish Thanksgiving

M
embers of the Temple Shalom
Brotherhood spent Sunday build-
ing a temporary hut in which the
Jewish congregation planned to celebrate
the holiday of Sukkot, a festival that may
have a direct link with the American holiday
of Thanksgiving.
The men spent the morning assembling
aluminum poles, fastening canvas on the
poles and making a bamboo roof for the
structure, referred to as a sukkah, or booth.
Temple Brotherhood President Michael
Peters explained that the holiday for which
the booth is being built commemorates the
40 years that the Jews spent wandering in
the desert and living in temporary struc-
tures. It’s also a harvest festival, a time Jews
give thanks for a good harvest and for their
survival.
“Many of our synagogue members will
use the sukkah,” said Peters as the men put
together the hut. “First, our Rosh Chodesh
group, a group of women who are building
friendships while deepening their under-
standing of our religion, will decorate the
sukkah. Then our religious school and our
youth groups will have activities in it.
Synagogue members will gather to have
their Sukkot services there.”
Peters said the holiday lasts seven days.
This year, its tonight and runs through
nightfall on Sept. 29. It stems from direc-
tions found in the Biblical book of
Leviticus and includes such directives as
making the roof open enough that rain can
get in and stars can be seen, but without
major gaps. In addition, the roof must be
made from something that grows from the
ground and was cut off.
“We use bamboo,” said Peters. “I doubt
if our forefathers could have imagined a

The Kiwanis Club of Randolph to Hold Its Annual Fine Arts Craft Show
By Cheryl Conway
T
ake a break from apple or pumpkin-picking this
weekend and take in some art at the 34th annual
Morristown CraftMarket.
After a year of preparation, The Kiwanis Club of
Randolph plans to hold its annual fine arts craft show
Friday, Oct. 15 through Sunday, Oct. 17, indoors at the
National Guard Armory in Morristown. The Morristown
CraftMarket - one of the nation’s top juried fine crafts
shows and a not-for-profit event - will feature original
works by 160 artists throughout the United States and
Canada.
Tell Them You Saw It In The Iron Area News • October 2010 • Page 9
Named by Morris County Tourism Bureau as “An Event
Not to Miss” and a “Top 10 Event in Morris County” for
October, the craft market is a one-of-a-kind cultural event
featuring beautiful displays that vary every year and raising
thousands of dollars to numerous local charities.
“Our show is different each year because we're a top
juried show where the artists have to compete to be able to
exhibit their work,” explains Geoffrey Price, Show
Director. “That means besides returning artists, we get new
faces and fresh and exciting work each year. The work
exhibited in the show is always changing. A guest who sees
a piece in a show may never see that piece exhibited again
in another show.”
In existence for 39 years, the Kiwanis Club of Randolph
organizes the craft market every year because of its
fundraising results and support for the arts.
“For 34 consecutive years, it's been our largest fundrais-
er for the many charities that we support,” says Price. “The
members of the Randolph Kiwanis Club strongly support
the arts, and we're very proud to produce a fine crafts show says Price. “The show is nationally acclaimed because we

The Thriller Side of Thomas Edison’s Inventions
By Michele Guttenberger
H
alloween season is
here and an almost
lost thriller-Thomas
Edison’s Frankenstein cele-
brates its centennial year.
In 1910, Edison’s studios,
with James Searle Dawley
as director, produced the
very first Frankenstein film.
The film came to be known
as “Edison’s Frankenstein”.
For many years, this 12
minute film was thought to
be lost forever. Added noto-
riety was given to this film
when in 1980 The American
Film Institute asserted that
Edison’s Frankenstein was
one of the top 10 culturally
historical “lost” films.
Thus, the existence of any
copy of the film was widely
sought after by cinema his-
torians. For many years the
only cinema memorabilia
available was a single photo
shot of the wild haired mon-
ster scowling into the cam-
era. The monster was por-
trayed by Charles Ogle. He
was part of the Edison Stock
Company Players. With a
centennial anniversary of
this classic horror film there
was an intensive search by a
few diehard cinema collec-
tors. Their persistence in
their search finally rendered

an intact copy. In a
Wisconsin basement an
eccentric film buff Alois
Dettlaf obtained a copy
back in the 1950’s for just a
few dollars. Dettlaf did not
use Eastman House or
AMPAS preservationists’
professionals to help pre-
serve the film from further
deterioration. Included in
this found collection was
the Edison Co’s catalogue
summary of the film for its
distributors:
“To those familiar with
Mrs. Shelly’s story it will be
evident that we have care-
fully omitted anything
which might be any possi-
bility shock any portion of
the audience. In making the
film the Edison Co. has
carefully tried to eliminate
all actual repulsive situa-
tions and to concentrate its
endeavors upon the mystic
and psychological problems
that are to be found in this
weird tale. Wherever, there-
fore, the film differs from
the original story it is purely
with the idea of eliminating
what would be repulsive to
a moving picture audience.”
Frederick C. Wiebel, Jr a
history author and artist was
passionate in getting
Dettlaf’s copy restored and
transferred onto DVD for-
mat. Wiebel detailed the
restoration process and the
history behind the film in
his book “Edison
Frankenstein” and received
commendation from the
Library of Congress for his to assume human sem-
efforts. blance is probably the most

Simple Slow Cooker Tips
Slow cookers are a simple, no-nonsense solution to making
delicious meals for a family on the go. With minimal prep
time, you can walk away and let the slow cooker work its
magic – welcoming you home to an aromatic, ready-to-
serve dinner. Here are some tips for slow cooker success:
• Brown your meat before you heat. The extra few minutes
you take to do so will greatly enhance the flavor of your
meal. If you dredge your meat in a little flour before brown-
ing, you’ll also get a thicker sauce. While some foods will
brown during the cooking process, they won’t have the
same color and flavor they get when browned first on the
stovetop. If you can find the time for this step, the results
are worth it.
• Prioritize your ingredients. Hardy, fresh vegetables such
as carrots, potatoes, or turnips for example, cook more
slowly than meat. To avoid undercooking these types of
veggies, place them on the bottom or sides and the meat on
top. Add tender veggies (peas) and strongly flavored veg-
gies like broccoli, cauliflower or onions in the last 15 to 60
minutes. Dairy products like sour cream, milk or yogurt,
tend to break down in the slow cooker. To prevent this, add
them during the last 15 to 30 minutes of cooking. However,
prepared items such as the Bob Evans’ Refrigerated Mashed

heat escapes, extending the needed cooking time by up to
half an hour. Some recipes do instruct you to stir halfway
through the cooking process or toward the end, but other-
wise it's best to leave the lid closed. To check progress with-
out lifting the lid, spin the cover until the condensation falls
off. Then it's easy to see inside.

mom with them through graduation, through everything"
explains Hackenberg.
Alfonso started the extension fundraiser on September
27th, and plans to continue it through October.
Appointments are suggested, but not required he says. It
takes only five minutes to put in he says.
The non-permanent extensions come in a light pink or a
darker pink color. Most customers are getting one exten-
sion but some have gotten two or three.
"We compress it into the hair and pull through", he
describes. " As long as you don't use a conditioner, it stays
in. It lasts as long as they want it to stay in, but if they use
a conditioner on the scalp, or moisturizing shampoo or sil-
icon product, it will come out", he warns.
"We are very good at doing extensions and I even cut it to
the length that they want", he adds. We ordered a lot more
extensions for the fundraiser. He has about five dozen
ready to be worn.
For customers who do not want an extension, but want to
contribute to the cause, donations are being collected in a
jar upfront at the salon, and Valentino's Pizza next door.

National Gymnastics Day Flips Electric Prices Deregulated in New Jersey:
At CS Gymnastics Businesses and Residents Save Up To 15%

C Monthly and Receive A $50 Rebate Check

S Gymnastics was
once again proud to

be a sponsor for the
Children’s Miracle Network
on National Gymnastics
Day, on September 18, by
hosting a fund raising
Cartwheel –A-Thon and
Family Fun day. Many chil-
dren from the local commu-
nities came to support the
Children’s Miracle Network
while enjoying many fun
and fitness related activities.
To further promote health
and fitness, through the
sport of gymnastics, chil-
dren attending the event
were also able to try several
fitness circuits, an obstacle
course, rope swing, face
painting, inflatable slide,
carnival games, and demon-
strations by the Silhouettes

Shadow Ninja.
Many of the CS
Gymnastics team members
also participated in the

ed cartwheel.
At the end of the day CS

T
hanks to an innovative and compre-
hensive 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 respon-
sible 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, nothing 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 docu-
mented savings of over 15% a month on the
supply portion of your electric bill.
Additionally, a $50 check is issued to each
business or residence for signing up. There
are no contracts to sign and the enrollment
takes just minutes.
This is so simple and easy. Now pur-
chasing energy is comparable to shopping
in the supermarket with your supermarket
discount card. If you are buying Corn
Flakes and the person in front of you is buy-
ing Corn Flakes, you use your supermarket
discount card and pay much less for the
same Corn Flakes. It’s now the same situa-
tion in purchasing your energy. You now
have a choice and you have the discount
card, its called iConnectEnergy. Customers
can visit the website to enroll and receive
information about their $50 rebate check
and discount of up to 15% or more. All of
this is at no cost to the business or con-
sumer. From your internet browser enter
www.iconnectenergy.com/6209 . It’s that
simple and you’ll see the savings each and
every month for your home or business in
your wallet.
