Submitted by Chester Recreation UBLIC ART INITAITVE FROM MCAW on behalf Chester Recreation -Have you been to the Chester Springs shopping mall lately? Maybe you've noticed the plain brick walls, even the 'gum wall' outside of Staples--a humble attempt at a display of public art. Ever wish you could spruce up the brick walls with some fantastic works of art? The folks at Chester's own Morris County Arts Workshop (MCAW) have noticed. They wrote to the shopping center owners, and guess what? They would LOVE to spruce up the bricks with some dynamic works of art! They are going to create art with MCAW students and teachers, and hang it along the brick corridors to bring color and life to our shopping center. The Morris County Arts Workshop has submitted this idea to the Make GOOD Art

Challenge. THEY NEED US TO VOTE for their project! The project with the most votes will win $5000! Please help them reach their goal. Click here and VOTE for the Chester Art project! Share it on your Facebook, Twitter, then send out this message to all of your contacts to ask for their help.

ew Jersey parents suffering with finding ways to pay for their childrens college education can finally get the solutions to their college funding problems. Most families who earn $75,000 or more and own a home assume they are not eligible for financial aid. However, most families with income over $100,000 are actually eligible for some types of need based financial aid. They simply need to know how to get their fair share. According to Newell, there are several easy things parents can do to substantially increase the amount of money they get from colleges. For example, There are several schools that historically give better financial aid packages than others, says Newell. If families do proper income and asset planning before filling out the forms, they can increase eligibility by thousands of dollars. Newell offers a few simple tips to parents with college funding problems. If a

parent has only half an hour to end their college funding problems, I would suggest the following: 1. Make sure they do not over-value their home on the financial aid forms 2. Try not to save money in the childs name as it weighs more heavily than the parents savings 3. Dont be afraid to negotiate with a college for a better financial aid package. Newell offers New Jersey parents with college funding problems a free booklet that explains the 9 most common college funding problems and solutions. Free copies will be distributed at the seminar listed below. Mr. Newell will be conducting a free one-hour seminar for parents of college bound high school juniors and seniors at the following location: The Chester Public Library on Tuesday, October 23, 2012 at 7:00 p.m. Reservation only!

Chester Township Respects Its Effective, Community-Service Oriented Police Department


"We received very, very few complaints," he said, adding that, on average each year, it is "fewer than a dozen complaints." "That's indicative of some very professional policing," he said. Martini said he is proud to work in a "a community that really appreciates what we do for them," and says the department is a very proactive one. Martini's background has certainly led to this kind of success. Martini, who grew up in Morris County and still resides there, earned Class Valedictorian at the Morris County Police Academy in 1989. And then, all in Chester Township, he served eight years in the patrol division; three years in the detective bureau and community service division; taught DARE (Drug Abuse Resistance Education) classes all the while; was promoted to and served 10 years as sargeant; was promoted to lieutenant on Jan. 1, 2010, and then, lieutenant in charge on April 15, 2010. There was no chief of police at the time, but then on April 15, 2011, Martini was promoted to Chief of Police. His educational background is impressive as well. He earned a B.S. in Criminal Justice from Seton Hall University in 1986; then earned his M.S. in Administrative Science in Sept. 2003 from Fairleigh Dickinson University (Martini was the first Chester Township police officer to ever earn a master's degree - now, three others have earned one as well) he attended the West Point Staff and Command School and received the Chief Harry Wilde Academic Achievement Award in May of 2001; and

By Ejvind Boccolini he Chester Township Police Department has continuously earned the support and respect of the public for its efficient and committed approach to serving the township. Chief of Police Wayne A. Martini said in a recent interview that the department handles about 20,000 public interactions per year, and "that includes self-initiated activities and that includes calls for service."

has completed several leadership and supervision classes. And now, under his leadership, the Chester Township Police Department has several interesting and effective programs to keep the community safe and secure. Two in particular, are called Follow-A-Bus and Cop-In-School. With Follow-A-Bus, police officers follow school buses and ensure that kids get on and off buses safely and that cars do not pass buses. With Cop-In-School, officers visit the township schools and introduce themselves to students at recess or lunch, creating a bond with students and the community. As written in a letter which Martini sent to Chester Township residents in Oct. 2011 explaining the programs, he said, "Beginning last September, you may have noticed marked and unmarked police cars following school buses or perhaps even heard stories from your children about officers visiting them in the schools. This is part of a community-service initiative that our department developed to help ensure your child's well-being and to build positive relations in our community. The Cops-incontinued on page 14

Chester Borough Makes Strides In Efficiency


Chester Borough and Chester Township, said the annual event was created by Marty Epstein, of Chester, who owns Marty's Reliable Cycle. It was designed to "promote health and wellness," Finney said, adding that "Chester Recreation wants to, of course, promote that as well." As it said on the Chester borough website, "Bring your bike, helmet, swimsuit and towel, goggles, sneakers and socks, sunscreen and water and get ready for funtime." This fourth annual event was presented by both Chester Recreation & Marty's Reliable Cycle - a bicycle shop with locations in Randolph, Morristown, and Hackettstown which won New Jersey Monthly Magazine's "Best Bike Shop in New Jersey" in 2012. Finney said she loved supporting the event, which was a great success, and called it a "great partnership" between the township and borough. She said all participants, who ranged in age from 4 to 15, received a ribbon/medal upon completion, and added that it was a great event to get kids to "compete against themselves" and develop their interest for fitness and fun. Some of the youngest kids, who are new to biking or swimming, were able to hone their skills and challenge themselves by way of the event. The age groups were 4-6 year olds, 7-8 year olds, 9-10 year olds, 11-12 year olds, and 13-15 year olds. The 4-6 year olds swam 25 yards, biked one mile, and then ran one quarter mile; the 7-8 year olds swam 25 yards, biked one mile, and ran one half mile; the 9-10 year olds swam 50 yards, biked two miles and ran one half mile; the 11-12 year olds swam 75 yards, biked two miles, and ran one mile; and the 13-15 year olds swam 100 yards, biked two miles, and ran two miles.

By Ejvind Boccolini hester Borough Mayor Robert Davis said in a recent interview that the borough is providing several COAH low-income housing units at no cost to taxpayers, and are reducing rates for borough customers of the sewer utility. These strides in efficiency will benefit the taxpayers of the borough. He said the borough was required to committ to COAH (Council On Affordable Housing) requirements by midJuly, and officials succeeded at this. Davis said one acre of land at the former town hall site, 300 Main Street, will be the location of an 8-unit affordable housing apartment building. "Our goal is to move people into it that have needs," he said. Davis said the borough had $275,000 in a trust fund that will be used for the project. He said the $275,000 was revenue generated by the borough, and that it is not taxpayer money. The borough is now able to move these funds into its general account to fund the project, Davis said. Also at the former town hall site, there is an additional acre of land, which the council will be deciding the fate of soon. "We're going to decide on that over the next several months," he said. "We haven't decided on that yet." The current town hall site is at 50 North Road, where the borough started to move its offices in 2011. Davis said the move will be completed early next year, when police officials make the final portion of the move to 50 North Road. On Route 206, there is about 3/4 of an acre of land that will be used for COAH units as well, said Davis. He said this "Little Italian Kitchen" site, as it is known by some, used to be the site of a pizza parlor and it is currently in disrepair. He said it has not been used for 20 years, but may become a facility for a non-profit organization - a "provider," for persons with disabilities. The borough may purchase this with trust fund monies and donate it to a provider, at which point it would become a 4-bedroom facility for persons with disabilities. In related financial news for the borough, there will be an 11 percent reduction in sewer rates starting in December. The council recently introduced an ordinance regarding the reduction of rates, with everyone being in favor of it. Davis said the rates, which were $225 per quarter, will now be $200 per quarter. The borough was able to reduce the rates because it paid off a substantial amount of debt, and because there is a new service provider, United Water, is under contract to operate the borough's sewer facility. United Water has been the new operator since January. He said a reduction in rates is "unique" and it will benefit the 223 homes who have service from the utility (another 400 homes are not on the utility - they have their own septic systems). In other news, Davis said Chester "Kids TriHarder Triathalon" was held Aug. 25 at the Chester-area pool, on North Road. Davis said about 150 kids signed up and there was a total of about 500 in attendance at the pool, owned and operated by the borough. He called it a "very successful kids event," and added that kids were separated by age groups and then required to swim, bike and run. "We had a great day," he said.

However, in I AM, Shadyac steps in front of the camera to recount what happened to him after a cycling accident left him incapacitated, possibly for good. Though he ultimately recovered, he emerged with a new sense of purpose, determined to share his own awakening to his prior life of excess and greed, and to investigate how he as an individual, and we as a race, could improve the way we live and walk in the world.

Page 14, September 2012, Tell Them You Saw It In The Black River News continued from page 9 Schools program involves officers stopping by the schools, introducing themselves, and spending time with the children whether it's at lunch or recess. Our agency supports the tenet that positive interaction with law enforcement at a young age instills the belief that officers are approachable and that we are here to help and protect them." Martini said that sometimes citizens think if an officer is showing up at school or following a bus, 'there must be something wrong.' This is not the case, he said. Officers are performing these functions everyday, and Martini said he does not want people to panic about this community-service detail, and noted that if there was something wrong, "We'd let you know." Due to the success of these and other programs, Martini said he experiences "little victories everyday." He calls police work a "very fulfilling job," and said Chester Township is a "fantastic place to be an police officer." "I have no plans on retiring," he said, noting that he is, in fact, entrenched in daily work. As leader of the department, he says his attitude is "let's let people know what we

Chester Township Respects...

do," and this has been beneficial. In fact, the department communicates with the public regularly and informs them about their programs, as well as motor vehicle and criminal enforcement efforts, notifications of recent criminal incidents, and information regarding the Office of Emergency Management notification systems. Martini said residents can follow the department on twitter@chestertownship, and receive timely emergency information from the police department and Office of Emergency Management. Also, the Geocast/911 Reverse Directory is an emergency information system that will contact landline and cell phones within a predetermined radius, and residents can register their cell phones for this service at https://morriscounty.onthealert.com/. And for the Neighborhood Watch program, residents can get involved by contacting Detective Anthony DaCunza at (908) 8795514, extension 832. The Chester Township Police Department is also very public-service oriented when it comes to the township schools. They have emergency school response plans in place to keep schools as safe as can be, and the department has been conducting tactical drills for many years in

the schools. Other area police departments are involved in this tactical training, and officers also know the school layouts and each officer's role in the event of any serious incident. "We understand that in today's world, you have significant concerns about the potential for school violence and we understand your concern and have committed resources and training to address this potential issue," Martini said in his recent letter to residents. The police department is successful with its proactive community service and safety programs because of its strong group of officers. Though there have been many retirements in the last three years, Martini said the department has attracted experienced, motivated and dedicated officers who all contribute to the very high morale of the department. "We have had a 50 percent turnover in

personnel," in the last three years, Martini said, adding that he now has a "fantastic group of guys," and also an "excellent" mayor and council in the township, which were helpful factors in allowing him to "steady the ship" during those times of personnel change. He said, "This turnover has also resulted in a number of personnel being moved into supervisory positions and the opportunity for a new departmental structure which benefits our stakeholders. The mix of these new officers and circumstances has resulted in a truly unique team of optimistic and enthusiastic public servants. In my over 23 years in policing, I have never seen morale at a higher level," he said. The typical staffing for the Chester Township Police Department is 16 officers, while the police department currently has 15. They offer service to the public 24 hours per day, seven days per week, and 365 days per year.

Benenson has been chosen to play Clara in the Radio City Christmas Spectacular in New York City this holiday season, while King will be joining the National Tour of Billy Elliot. Hundreds of children from all over the country auditioned for both roles, but the excellent dance technique, performance ability, and sparkling charm of these exceptional dancers won them their prestigious roles. Naomi and Jessica have danced together at Art of Dance in Chester, NJ since age three. Now eleven years old, and members of the Art of Dance Company, they dance 5 to 6 days a week and have proven to be dedicated dancers with excellent attitudes. Studio owner Valerie Harman says, You just cant help smiling when both of these girls take the stage. All our dancers work so hard, and we are so proud of each and every one of them. Naomi is the second student from Art of Dance to receive the prestigious role of Clara in the Radio City Christmas Spectacular, and Jessicas role as a Swing in the National Tour of Billy Elliot means she has a very challenging road ahead. She is required to learn 5 different roles and will be called upon to fill in every time a performer is sick, injured, or is unable to perform. Both girls received their roles through the New York City Dance Alliance program. Naomi auditioned for the Christmas Spectacular during NYCDA Nationals in July, while Jessica has had numerous callbacks with casting director Nora Brennan

since 2010 as a result of her NYCDA audition. Both dancers have been named NYCDA Outstanding Dancers multiple years in a row, and Jessica was named a Top 10 dancer out of 100 dancers at NYCDA Nationals in 2012. At Art of Dance, Ms. Harmans goal is to provide the best, most comprehensive dance training available in New Jersey. With instructors from The American Ballet Theatre,

Broadway Dance Center, the Rockettes, and teachers specializing with preschoolers, Art of Dance offers only the best instruction available. Art of Dance congratulates Naomi and Jessica on a job well done. With such talented children, and a supportive community, this local dance studio hopes to continue to produce the stars of tomorrow.

r. Ira Goldberg, a local dentist, competed in two major triathlons in 2012. The first was on July 8 when he completed the NYC Triathlon, an Olympic Distance event. Dr. Goldberg raised over $1,000 in donations for the American Cancer Society, since this date coincided with his mothers birthday.

She had passed away in 1997 from cancer. On August 11, Dr. Goldberg completed the inaugural NY/NJ Ironman. An Ironman consists of a 2.4 mile swim, a 112 mile bike, and concludes with a marathon (26.2 miles). After competing in dozens of triathlons over the past few years and knowing the energy level of the shorter NY Triathlon, there was no way I could pass up the opportunity to participate in this inaugural event in my own backyard. The thoughts of running over the George Washington Bridge and biking on the Palisades Parkway were visions that got me through the months and months of training, says Dr. Goldberg. Dr. Goldberg has been practicing dentistry for over 17 years: recently he purchased a practice across from St. Clares Hospital in Dover, and in approximately 2 months it will be relocated to the Roxbury Mall in Succasunna. My staff, patients, and myself are quite excited about this relocation. We will be able to incorporate more cutting edge technology, provide additional comforts, and continue to deliver exceptional general and implant dentistry for the community. Dr. Goldberg excels in implant dentistry: he has studied under some of the biggest names in the field, and has been placing and restoring implants for 16 years. He holds advanced degrees in multiple implant organizations as well. One thing that separates our office from many others is what we can provide patients in one location: we place, restore, and provide grafting for implants under one roof. Rarely do we have to refer patients. For additional information, check out his website: www.moriscountydentist.com or call 973-328-1225. Always FREE Consultations!!

OCTOBER is Pink Extentions For the Cure 100% of Profits

ctober is Breast Cancer Awareness Month and through October 31st, Alfonso's Salon is joining the fight to defeat breast cancer, the second leading cancer killer of women. The salon is offering pink hair extensions to commemorate the cause. The extensions are available in two shades of pink for $12 each and cash is required. A limited quantity of the light pink version is available. There is also a limited supply of pink feathers, too. 100 percent of donations and profits for this fundraiser will benefit the Susan G. Komen for the Cure "We are proud to help where we can to raise funds to assist research, increase awareness and promote screenings," says Alfonso Merola, owner/stylist of Alfonso's Salon at Sutton Plaza. "Breast Cancer affects so many families. I have seen it touch the lives of many of my clients, and happily count some as successful survivors of this disease". The salon has received two awards for their efforts to help defeat breast cancer. The non-permanent extensions are a simple process and it takes only about five minutes to apply, Alfonso reports. "We compress the pink extensions into the hair without causing any harm to the client's own

hair. They look great on women of all ages, from kids to seniors, with some customers getting two or three at a time. They can be easily cut to any length the client wants and will stay in as long as a moisturizing shampoo or hair conditioner is not used on the root area. Alfonso is particularly excited about working with groups for this worthy fundraiser. Last year he was invited to Morristown Medical Center to apply extentions to the Labor and Delivery staff during the shift change in their department. Cheerleaders from Blairstown came in as a team to show their support, as well as a few girls' sports teams from the local high school. It's a fund raiser and team building exercise all in one! The salon will gladly accept any donation even if customers don't want to take advantage of the hair extension services. A jar will be available at the front desk to anyone wishing to help the fight for a cure. Donation jars can also be found at Valentino's Pizzeria, Verizon Wireless store, Wine Rack, Flanders Cleaners, Flanders Bagels, and Mandrin Village, all located in the mall. In business for 30 years, Alfonso's is a full-service salon, specializing in complete hair services such as color, cuts, styling and specialized smoothing systems such as Keratin Straightening System and Keratin Express as well as perms and conditioning treatments. Manicures, pedicures and waxing services are also provided. Hair extensions are done all year round. Throughout his career, Alfonso has devoted all of his time to the betterment of the hair industry.

Treatment of Unexplained Infertility Utilizing Acupuncture and Chinese Medicine


charge, followed by spotting. In Chinese medicine, we call this static blood. It means poor blood flow through the uterine arteries, which causes the uterus itself to become a toxic environment. This static blood also impacts the quality of the endometrium and thus hinders implantation. Acupuncture, along with blood regulating herbs, clears blood stasis, reduces constriction in the uterine arteries, and encourages the complete discharge of menstrual blood. As a result, new endometrial tissue becomes fresh, healthy, and ready for an embryo to become implanted. Cold Womb/Cold Uterus Cold womb means that the uterine lining fails to respond to the warming hormone, progesterone. Women with this condition usually have slow rising and/or early declining BBT (Basal Body Temperature). Cold hands and feet, cramps helped by a heating pad, lower back pain, low libido, frequent urination and early morning loose stools are also symptomatic of this condition. Cold womb not only causes the wrong temperature for the embryo to grow, like a seed growing in chilly weather, but also congeals the blood inhibiting uterine circulation. The focus of treatment is to warm the uterus, which in turn maintains progesterone at satisfactory levels. This not only helps metabolic activity, but also allows the uterus to secrete sufficient nutrients, and thereby creates a highly nurturing environment in which to implant the embryo. Stress Stress plays an important role in influencing fertility. Stress interrupts hormonal communication and leads to hypothalamic anovulation. It can also increase prolactin levels and prevent ovulation. Stress can cause tension in the fallopian tubes, and affect the transportation of the egg, sperm or embryo. Studies indicate that electro-acupuncture stimulates the sensory nerve fibers and may inhibit the sympathetic outflow at the spinal level (Fertility and Sterility vol.77. no.4, April 2002). Additionally, acupuncture increases production of beta-endorphin, which is a natural chemical in our body that helps reduce anxiety and tension, improve sleep and increase resistance to stress. So the

nexplained infertility represents the most frequent diagnosis in women. It simply means that your doctor cannot find any medical explanation for why you are having fertility issues. This does not mean that there is not a problem. It means that, due to insufficient medical knowledge and current technology, the medical solution is difficult to find. However, Chinese Medicine is able to identify the subtle fertility imbalances that may interfere with a womans ability to conceive. More importantly, these subtle problems can not only be fully explained, but also treated successfully, with acupuncture and Chinese herbs. Chinese Medicine takes a different approach to defining infertility and looks at the subtle manifestations and ramifications of imbalance across the entire body. Deborah, a Chinese Medicine fertility specialist, has over 10 years experience in the treatment of reproductive and fertility issues. She often discovers subtle fertility problems by carefully examining the different stages of a womans menstrual cycle and evaluating every aspect of the bodys health, individual emotions and lifestyle. Underlying factors she has found that may possibly contribute to infertility from the perspective of Chinese Medicine include the following: Blood Deficiency If a woman does not have menstrual periods, or experiences a slight or short menstrual flow, it indicates that there is not enough blood to nourish the uterine lining, which then cannot support the implantation and development of the embryo. For successful implantation the endometrium must be both thick and nourishing. Acupuncture and specific blood tonic herbs increase the production of blood and enhance its flow to the endometrial lining, allowing the body to produce more blood vessels and create more tissue and thus contribute to the successful implantation and nourishment of an embryo. Blood Stagnation With stagnation of blood, is not uncommon to see patients who complain of severe menstrual cramping, large blood clots, dark brown menstrual flow, and incomplete dis-

patient becomes calmer and more at ease. Prolonged or Severe PMS (Premenstrual Syndrome) Prolonged or severe PMS causes hormonal imbalance and low fertility. The response in the body to an imbalance in progesterone and estrogen levels may be irritability, bloating, breast tenderness, headaches, sleep disturbance, and food cravings in the week before the period or even two weeks into each cycle. Chinese medicine, acupuncture and herbal medicine is known to address premenstrual syndrome by regulating the energy flow in the Liver meridian. This, in turn, naturally improves the bodys hormonal balance and encourages optimum function of the reproductive system. Poor Egg Quality Although we know there is nothing we can do to change the DNA of the egg itself, we can certainly enhance follicular nourishment and development. Chinese medicine emphasizes the replenishment of Kidney Jing and Yin (reproductive essence), enhances the blood flow to the ovaries, and increases the resistance to stress, which naturally exerts a positive influence on egg quality. Deborah recognizes that most unexplained infertility is caused by dysfunction in the body and, therefore, the goal of treatment is to help the bodys systems return to correct functionality. In addition to carefully evaluating each patient, discovering subtle signs of imbalances that impact on fertility, she believes that it is important to keep the treatments congruent with the phases and stages of the menstrual cycle. Deborah utilizes years of experience, in applying acupuncture and specific timing in the use of herbal medicine and their required doses at the appropriate stage of follicle and endometrial development. Having treated a high number of women with unexplained infertility, Deborah strongly believes that most functional infertility can be treated successfully with the help of acupuncture in conjunction with herbal medicine, and the results she has seen have been enormously encouraging. Our greatest joy in life has been helping couples realize their dream of having a child. We have been truly blessed with the opportunity to help both men and women enhance their fertility.

Thomas Edison Father of New Jerseys 42nd Governor Charles Edison


by Michele Guttenberger The Glenmont Estate was the home of Thomas Edison in West Orange, New Jersey and it is part of the National Park Services. However, few realize this estate is also the childhood home and birthplace to the 42nd Governor of New Jersey. Governor Charles Edison was born in this home on August 3, 1890. Charles was the oldest son to Thomas Alva Edison with his second wife Mina. He graduated from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology in Cambridge, Massachusetts. As a young MIT grad, he quickly found employment assisting his father in developing World War I defense technology for the US Navy. During this time he became friends with the Assistant Secretary of the Navy - Franklin D. Roosevelt. He married his college sweetheart Carolyn Hawkins on March 27, 1918 at the Edison familys Ft Myers winter home. The ceremony was performed in the Seminole Lodge gardens. Too involved in the War efforts, Thomas Edison did not attend his son Charles wedding ceremony but sent a telegram - If you have decided it must be done, then the sooner it is done the better. It cant be any worse than life in front line trenches. Impossible for Theodore or myself to come. His bride Carolyn was also involved in the War effort assisting medical staff at Harvard University to prepare for overseas deployments. Charles and Carolyn had a childless marriage. From 1927 to 1959 Charles was the president of his fathers record company Thomas A. Edison Inc. It was his relationship with FDR that would be the catalyst for his political career. He broke the family tradition of being Republican in the early 1930's when he became a Democrat like his friend FDR. President Roosevelt appointed Charles Edison the position of Assistant Secretary of the Navy in 1937. Edison positively agreed with Roosevelt that the U.S. Navy needed to be the strongest in the world. He advocated the construction of the large Iowa-class battleships when he was in the Navy Dept. and proposed that one of them be built at the Philadelphia Navy Yard. This decision helped secure votes for Roosevelt in Pennsylvania and New Jersey in the 1940 presidential election. In return, Roosevelt had the BB-62 named the USS New Jersey. Today it is preserved as a floating museum in Camden, NJ. Roosevelt named Edison Acting Secretary of the Navy on January 2, 1940 after the death of Secretary Claude A. Swanson in 1939. However, he resigned from this position in June 24, 1940 to run his gubernatorial campaign as a politician without political ambition. Charles Edison served only one term as Governor from 1940 to January 18, 1944. It was a tough gubernatorial campaign. It was difficult for Charles Edison to distance himself from the Democratic Party Boss Jersey City Mayor Frank Hague. Edison abhorred Hagues Political Machine and would not accept his endorsements. "I would rather be respected than elected" Edison would proclaim. Edison attacked Hague's political corruption and control of the courts during the campaign. When Edison became Governor, Hague retaliated by blocking many of Edison's reforms. Edison also faced a battle with state legislature controlled by Republicans. Edison wanted to reform New Jerseys Constitution which was in place since 1844. Edison lacked the power to push his reforms to abolish the three year term; veto overrides allowances by a simple majority and limited powers of the governor (a shared power with over 80 boards and commissions). Nothing was changed during his tenure. His proposed referendums did not pass.

Ironically, a few years later, the state legislators did reform the constitution in 1947using his pragmatic nonpartisan concepts. You can still visit the Governors childhood home today and visit the site of the Edison recording studio. Visits to Glenmont are by appointment through the main visitor station. This NPS estate has a seasonal visiting schedule. Please visit The Thomas Alva Edison Museum- NPS Open Wednesday through Sunday. Hours are 9:00am 5:00pm Fee is $7.00 - 211 Main Street West Orange, NJ 07052 Visit website for more details http://www.nps.gov/edis/index.htm

by Elsie Walker lassic cars were cruising through the parking lot. Friends gathered at hang-outs like the Tiki-bar. In one area, a young woman was hula hooping for charity. Who says the 50s ended decades ago? You couldnt tell it by the poodle skirts, hula hoops, cars, and music that had the Parsippany Hilton jumping on Labor Day Weekend. The feel of the 1950s was back in full swing at the annual Lead East put on by Appleton Productions of Long Valley. It was the 30th year for what has been dubbed the Worlds Biggest 50s party and its host, Terry Cook. What started as a car show with a difference, has grown into a major event that attracts about 1800 cars dating from 1972 and earlier from about 23 states Cars filled the Hilton and adjoining lots. There was an outdoor movie screen put up for the screening of some fine B movies. Songs like Whos Sorry Now filled the hotel and outside thanks to the music, singers and bands on hand. In one corner of a lot, a woman was hula

hooping for Make-A-Wish and other fundraisers for the organization were held inside. Around the lot, you saw not only people who vividly remember the 50s, but those whose parents hadnt even been born in the 50s. Lead East isnt just about reliving the 50, but about remembering a clean, wholesome era At the heart of it is Cook, a former Editor of Car Craft and Hot Rod Magazines. He is also the president of Delahaye USA. Recreating the most beautiful cars in the world is its mission. Appropriately, one of the cars on display was a Delahaye. As people strolled among the cars, one would suddenly see memorabilia reminding them of icons like Mickey and Minnie or Herman and Lily Munster. Occasionally, spectators saw something that looked a little out of place like the Ghostbusters Ambulance. However, though the movie was in the 80s, its vehicle was pure 1950s a 1959 Cadillac ambulance. Lead East the 50s live on.

roadway veteran Randall Duk Kim will lead the cast in the new Great Authors Our Loud Series which will launched by Centenary Stage Company this fall with a free staged reading on September 16th at 3 PM of Molires Tartuffe. In this most famous of Moliere's provocative and hilarious satires - whose subjects of seduction, hypocrisy and greed sparked a ferocious scandal after its first reading - Tartuffe unmasks the true motives of religious impostors who have plagued and manipulated people throughout the ages. Pretending to be a religious devotee, the character of Tartuffe manages to bully his way into a rather normal household, disguising his own sexual appetite under a mask of righteousness. Moliere peppers this comedy with all the classic comedic characters, including the bossy maid, the easily duped husband, the controlling mother-inlaw, a pair of absent minded young lovers, and the deviously self- righteous Tartuffe, who is not at all as religious as his host believes him to be. Audiences can expect a lot more than just a staged reading, says Randall Duk

Randall Duk Kim - Winner of the OBIE Award for Sustained Excellence
Kim. As Kim recently told Broadway World author Gregory Allen, We want the audience to spend a few hours getting to know these masters and the wonder of their work. They are some of the brightest lights in our cultural and intellectual heritage. They have served as guides in my own personal development besides providing me with joy, excitement, comfort, wonder, curiosity, and life-long challenge. We will endeavor to give the audience a clear and honest rendering of these plays in a relaxed atmosphere, hoping they will be surprised, stimulated, and well entertained. Randall Duk Kim and Anne Occhiogrosso, together with Charles Bright, founded the classical American Players Theatre in Spring Green, Wisconsin in 1981, where they worked together for 35 years. Winner of the OBIE Award for Sustained Excellence, Randall Duk Kim began his early career with the legendary Joe Papp and the New York Public Theatres Shakespeare Festival, and continued to perform leading roles of the classics at some of Americas finest regional theatres. He has been seen on Broadway in Flower Drum Song, Golden Child and The King and I, but perhaps is most recognized as The Keymaker in the film Matrix Reloaded, and the voice of Oogway in the DreamWorks animated film Kung Fu Panda. After leading the Centenary Stage Company 2012 Summer Masters Class, Kim returns to Centenary Stage Company for the Great Authors Reading Series, which he and Occhiogrosso will direct, and which will feature four free presentations of the classics through the 2012-13 season. In addition to Tartuffe, upcoming plays will include Ibsens An Enemy of the People and Shakespeares The Merchant of Venice as well as an afternoon of Chekhovs one act plays. Director Anne Occhiogrosso has received national recognition for her work with the American Players Theatre. She is an acclaimed director, dramaturge, acting coach and actor, whose primary focus has been classical theatre with a special emphasis on the works of William Shakespeare. While at American Players Theatre, she directed numerous Shakespearean productions, including Hamlet, The Tempest,

Romeo and Juliet, A Midsummer Nights Dream and The Merchant of Venice, as well as other classics, including Goldonis The Servant of Two Masters, Ibsens An Enemy of the People, Chekhovs The Bear, The Wedding and Swan Song. She has also taught acting at the Stella Adler Conservatory of Acting and the New York Shakespeare Festival and currently works with Classical Productions, Inc. where she coaches individuals in audition preparation, character development and script analysis for film, television and theater. The reading of Tartuffe will be held Sunday, September 16th at 3:00PM in the Edith Kutz Black Box Theatre in the David and Carol Lackland Center on the campus of Centenary College in Hackettstown, NJ. Admission is free, but reservations are requested, and patrons interested in attending should reserve their seats by calling the CSC box office at (908) 979-0900.

alloween is a time for costumes and candy. Americans spend roughly $6 billion per year on Halloween candy. After Christmas, Halloween is the country's second-biggest commercial holiday. Although many people like the convenience of buying bags of pre-made candy, they will not have control over the amount of sugar or the other ingredients that are being put into these confections. This Halloween, celebrants may want to make their own sweet treats to hand out or share at Halloween festivities. * Chocolate lollipops: All it takes is a mold, heating device and some chocolate candy melts to make delicious and eyecatching homemade lollipops. A visit to the craft store will probably yield all of the ingredients you need. Some kits feature squirt bottles that can be filled with chocolate, heated in the microwave and then easily squirted into the candy molds. * Cake pops: A revolution in dessert,

Sweet Treats for Halloween

cake pops can be made in two ways. The first method is baking a cake and then crumbling it up into a bowl. Then a container of cake frosting is added, making the mixture moldable. The mixture is then formed into balls, which are put on lollipop sticks and dipped into melted chocolate. The second cake pop method is to purchase pans or special waffle-iron-type devices that turn batter into balls while cooking. Then the cake balls are put on sticks and covered in frosting or chocolate. * Candied fruit: Caramel-covered apples are an autumn tradition, but you also can dip bananas into chocolate or pieces of pineapple for a pseudo-healthy treat. * Chocolate bark: Create a healthy and delicious mixture of ingredients by melting dark chocolate and adding in nuts, dried cranberries, raisins, sunflower seeds, or anything else you can think off. Pour the mixture on a piece of waxed paper and allow to harden in the refrigerator. Then cut into chunks and enjoy.

Vote For More Than the Man

By Harlin Parker ets be honest. The American economy has seen better days. Its certainly seen much worse, too. But as difficult as these times are, better days are ahead of us, of that I am sure. I believe in this country. I believe in the people of this country. So Im an optimist. Yet here we are in very difficult times. As we look ahead to the presidential election, we need to understand that well be voting for more than just President Obama or Governor Romney. It isnt about just choosing one man over the other. The two national conventions were more than just theatre. In the case of the Republicans, it was sort of theatre of the absurd, especially with Clint Eastwood. But even I wont hold that over their heads. We all have a crazy uncle somewhere, eh? What the two conventions showed us was a difference in basic philosophy. It showed one group with its simple, and disingenuous, slogans, rooted in an alternate universe unrelated to reality, and another group, one that is made up of a whole spectrum of different people, from all kinds of backgrounds, coming together and offering a reality check on who we really are, and what we really need. We all, not just Republican Tea Partiers, believe in individual liberty. Most rational people, though, understand that we really are all in this together. Were a country. We have to live and work together, even as we cherish and protect, and rejoice in our constitutional rights and liberties. No man is an island, nor do we want to be. The Republicans put on an ugly show of blame, blame, blame. One after another held forth blaming not only President Obama, but just about every other American who doesnt believe exactly as they do for, well, for everything. They built that. What, did they go and chop down the trees, saw the planks of wood, mine the iron to forge the nails? They did it all, alone? The silliness was running rampant. On the economy, well, the Republicans placed complete blame for the current economy squarely on the head of President Obama. After all, they say, hes been in office now for three or so years. He has to stop blaming former President Bush. Its all Obamas fault now. Or is it? Time for some, uh, grown up talk. In January, 2009, the American economy

was essentially in free fall. This was no ordinary business cycle recession. This was the kind of financial crash that all of us who warned against the repeal of the GlassSteagall Act would allow. This kind of crash, by its very nature, takes longer to fix. It takes even longer, unfortunately, when Congress fails to act properly. Republicans in Congress have spent the entirety of President Obamas term desperately trying to thwart every effort to provide the kind of fixes our economy has needed. Hoover would be proud of todays Congressional Republicans. And now that years of Republican intransigence have had their way? Why, its all President Obamas fault. Trillions of dollars of national debt? All Obamas fault. Are you kidding me? Even now, with 16 trillion dollars of national debt, the majority was produced by Republican administrations. But this is just one of so many issues on which listening to todays Tea Party soaked Republican Party is like listening to a bad used car salesman. Mitt Romney and the Tea Partiers have made it clear that they hate Obamacare. But wait, now Romney says he wants to keep various provisions of the dreaded Obamacare. He hates the law but he likes whats in it! Huh? His running mate, Paul Ryan, is so truth challenged he couldnt even tell the truth about his running time in the one and only marathon he ever ran in. I dont know much about running marathons, but the professionals say anything under 3 hours, especially by an amateur, is downright amazing. So dont you think that if you ran a marathon in under 3 hours, as Ryan claimed he did, youd remember that? Ryans time was actually well over 4 hours. As Texas Governor Rick Perry would put it, Oops. But Ryans lying about his marathon running time is not the big worry. The big worry is how chock full of outright lies (what more polite people would call falsehoods) were in his speech at the Republican National Convention. Im surprised that his pants didnt catch fire right there on stage. And his latest Kafka-speak explanation of why he wont divulge what tax deductions hed eliminate in his much ballyhooed budget plan? Because he wants an open process. Open! No back room deals for Mr. Ryan. But how do you have continued on page 34

The Time for Choosing Has Come

by Thomas Lotito his year's election is a choice. George Washington said it like this. "The time is now at hand which must determine whether Americans are to be free men or slaves." The time has come to choose between liberty, prosperity and less government intervention into our private lives, or, total government control over every facet of our private lives, including bankrupting our children's future. Our nation is beginning to see the destructive consequences of a society that squanders it's wealth to create and keep a class of people dependent on the government at the expense of working class Americans. Our national debt is now over 16 trillion dollars. We cannot afford to pay for existing entitlements such as medicare, much less pay for new entitlements such as Obama-care. In the end, you will leave your grand children with debt and worse off than you are today. Here are some of the tyrannical consequences you can expect too see more of if you choose to reelect Barack Obama. Wealth without work: Today, more than forty four million Americans are on food stamps. Last month the Obama administration added 173 thousand new food stamp recipients. Unemployment declined a percentage point to 8.1 percent and only 96 thousand entry level jobs were created. Unemployment dropped because people stopped looking for work. Pleasure without consequence: Is birth control now a civil right? Does the Government have the right to force a religious institution to pay for contraceptives for its employees? Does the Government have the right to use tax payer dollar to fund abortions? The government definition of marriage is no longer is between a man and a woman. Commerce with out morality: Is it OK for the federal government to waste billions of dollars to bail out failed banking institutions and prop up unprofitable auto manufacturing and green energy companies? Who will be held accountable for unfair failed government laws and regulations and crony capitalism? Did President Obama's stimulus spending short the tax payers on dividends and returns? Science without humanity: Is it really a women choice to abort her human embryo because liberals say it is not a human until

it's born? But at the same time if you destroy an Eagle's egg you get a $250,000 fine and time in jail. Is climate change ideology nothing more than an opportunity for a select group of central planners to limit and tax human activity in order to fulfill the vision of a failed Marxist-communist society? Worship with out sacrifice: Were you surprised when the Democratic party voted to throw God out of their party's platform and deny that Jerusalem was the capital of Israel? But then they decided to put God and Jerusalem back in their party's platform because they feared a backlash in the press. God was voted down three times and and then booed by the delegates. But then controversy ensued as Los Angelos Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa reconfirmed God back into the Democratic party despite the naySayers and the boos. Democrats have adopted a platform that is anti-God from top to bottom. Democrats are openly the Godless political party. Politics with out principles: How could Democrats give a tribute to Ted Kennedy, a known philanderer, who left Mary Jo Kopechne to die under water trapped in a car? And how disgusting was it to see disgraced former president Clinton, who was convicted of perjury and impeached for lying about molesting Paula Jones, and accused of raping Juanita Broaddrick, deliver an inspirational and motivational speech at the DNC convention? Isn't it disingenuous of the Democratic party to give a place of honor to these two abusers of woman while accusing Republicans of conducting a war on women? Knowledge with our character: Did president Obama lie about how Osama bin Laden died in order to score political points? Did president Obama know about the ATF's (Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms) undercover operation, "Fast and Furious," that walked 2000 guns over the border to Mexican drug lords to make it look like the guns had come from registered gun dealers in the U.S. so Obama could make the case to stop the sales of and ban all guns in the U.S.? These sins wrote Gandhi, create chaos which leads to violence. Have these seven sins become the hallmark of the Obama administration? Is chaos and violence the continued on page 34

continued from page 33 an open process when hes so secretive about his own plans? Theyre some pair, Romney and Ryan. This is all just a sad, sad state of affairs. Over the years, Mitt Romney has taken every side of every issue. Just from examining his history of statements, from his own words, it is just not possible to figure out what he actually believes or what hed actually do. But what is clear is that today we do see him in full, supine, obedience to the radical fringes of the Republican Party, or what used to be the radical fringes. We saw a large crowd of angry white people at this years Republican National Convention. It wasnt a pretty sight. And if

I have a very nice bridge Im sure youll buy. It wont be cheap but youll buy it. Times are tough but things will get better. America is changing. Americans are changing. Dont panic. Dont be scared. Dont succumb to simple sounding slogans, especially ones based in outright lies. Nobody is going to lose here. If we all work together, respect each other, and accommodate each other, if we COMPROMISE, we can all flourish. Yes, we can. Send comments to harlin@harlinparker.org.

Haven't we seen violence and threats of violence in France, Great Brittan and Greece, when entitlement spending is threatened? Could this be America's future? Didn't we here of violence and murder amongst the Wall St protesters? Elections have consequences and this election is no different. The time for choosing has come.
