Comfort Zone Camp: A Fun and Safe Place For Grieving Children
C
omfort Zone Camp is the nation’s
largest bereavement camp. The
camps are offered free of charge to
children ages 7-17 who have experienced
the death of a parent, sibling or primary
caregiver and are held year-round in
California, Massachusetts, New Jersey,
Texas, and Virginia.
Comfort Zone is set in a rustic camp
environment to get kids away from the dis-
tractions of the real world and create what
we call the “camp bubble.” Within the
camp bubble, isolation is broken and turbo-
bonding happens because everyone else has
lost a loved one too. Kids are given the
opportunity to play, share their stories,
build trust and friendships, and receive val-
idation from their peers that whatever they
are thinking and feeling is okay. All of this
leads to an increase in self-esteem, and a
good time.
The camps combine grief counseling
with traditional camp activities. A very
unique aspect of Comfort Zone Camp is the
one-to-one pairing of children (“little bud-
dies”) to adults (“big buddies”). Many chil-
dren come to camp “attention-starved,” as
surviving parents or guardians are under-
standably preoccupied with their own grief.
The big buddies serve as the campers’

anchors, mentors and friends. “Bigs” are
screened and trained in grief counseling
techniques and carefully matched with
campers of the same gender who share the
same interests
At Comfort Zone Camp, kids are given:
A place to tell their stories and feelings –
Throughout the camp, kids meet in small
groups called Healing CirclesSM. The
Healing CirclesSM are broken down by age
and are led by licensed grief therapists who
interact and support the campers all week-
end.* Within the Healing CirclesSM,
campers are allowed to talk about their loss
– a subject often taboo in the real world
where people don’t get it, and are uncom-
fortable hearing about it. Healing
CirclesSM also work together to do trust
and team building activities.

CS Gymnastics Celebrates It’s 25th At National Gymnastics Day

E
ach year USA Gymnastics sponsors
a National Gymnastics and Fitness
awareness day. September 12, 2009
marked this year’s special event along with
the
25th Anniversary of CS Gymnastics in
Flanders. In honor of this memorable day,
the coaches and staff of CS Gymnastics
sponsored a Family Fun Day, full of excit-
ing activities to try and watch. Throughout
the afternoon many children came by to try
their skill at the Tyson Fitness Stations, face
painting, zooming down the 18’ inflatable
slide, bouncing along the Tumble Track
trampoline, swinging from rope to rope, and
dancing to the tunes of the DJ. Meanwhile,
parents with big smiles took advantage of
the generous prize drawings donated by
local vendors to benefit the Children’s
Miracle Network in our area. The CS
Silhouettes and Shadows team members
also donated their skills as they participated
in a Cartwheel-a-thon to raise funds for the
same children’s charity After many cart-
wheels and donations, the team members
were able to send a substantial gift to help
out the local chapter of the Children’s
Miracle Network. All in attendance were
thrilled to watch the Free Runner Shadows’
exhibition, Zumba dance, Mace the
Magician and gymnastics routines by the
home team gymnasts. Before the day was
over, all who came to celebrate had enjoyed
a great afternoon of fun, and were inspired
by all they saw to “be stronger, go faster,
and jump higher in gymnastics and
beyond”.

Brundage Park Playhouse...
Continued from front page
The story can also be considered semi-auto-
biographical of Dickens as it, like much of
his work, draws on his experiences of life
and people.
There are many memorable characters:
Young Pip, the blacksmith's apprentice
whose secret benefactor gives him his great
expectations of becoming a London gentle-
man; the mad Miss Havisham who shut her-
self up in her gloomy, haunted mansion
when she was jilted on her wedding day;
her adopted daughter, Estella, whom she
has trained to break men's hearts; the gentle
blacksmith, Joe, and his shrewish wife; the
escaped convict, Magwitch, and the scarred
man who is stalking him; the bumbling
Herbert Pocket; the pompous Uncle
Pumblechook; the austere lawyer, Jaggers,
with his whimsical clerk, Wemmick; the
murderous Orlick; kindly Biddy; and arro-
gant Drummle.
Audiences will become unbelievably
involved in the pathos and humor of Pip's
journey.
The show originally premiered at the
Paper Mill Playhouse in 1992 and was
adapted and directed by then Artistic
Director, Robert Johanson.

Acupuncture Relieves Lower Back Pain Better Than

Traditional Treatments
by Deborah Waddell, Dipl. Ac., C.A. Chinese Medicine (TCM) practitioners consider this adds to the growing body of evidence that something

N
( atural News) Acupuncture is the oldest
form of a complete medicine. It deals with
placing very fine, sterile, needles into spe-
cific points in the body to relieve pain and/or to help
with various ailments. According to Chinese medical
theory, acupuncture points are located on energy
meridians or channels in which Qi flows. The follow-
ing study was done to determine if acupuncture was
more effective than traditional Western medicine in
treating and relieving chronic low back pain.
A group of researchers with Group Health conduct-
ed the largest study on back pain and acupuncture in
the United States. The study was named Stimulating
Points to Investigate Needling Efficacy (SPINE), and
it can be found in the May 11, 2009 issue of the
Archives of Internal Medicine. The study was led by
Dr. Daniel Cherkin, who works with the Group Health
Center for Health Studies in Seattle. Six hundred thir-
ty eight (638) randomly selected adult patients were
included from two nonprofit health plans: Group
Health Cooperative in Seattle and Northern California
Kaiser Permanente in Oakland. All of the patients
were asked to rate their chronic back pain on a pain
scale of 0-to-10. The minimum pain level experienced
by the group was 3. None of the study participants had
tried acupuncture before. The study group was ran-
domly divided into four groups:
Group 1 - Received individualized acupuncture
treatments utilizing real acupuncture needles. A prac-
titioner did a customized prescription of acupuncture
points based on pattern differentiation.
Group 2 - Received acupuncture treatments using a
single prescription of acupuncture points on the back
treatment to be effective in relieving chronic low back
pain in the majority of cases.
Group 3 - Simulated an acupuncture treatment
using sham acupuncture (toothpick in a needle guide
tube instead of a needle), without penetrating the skin.
Group 4 - Received standard medical care for back
patients.
All of the patients were treated two times per week
for three weeks, and then once per week for four
weeks. Researchers measured any improvements and
changes in symptoms after eight weeks, 26 weeks and
52 weeks. After eight weeks, all three acupuncture
groups were doing substantially better, compared to
the standard care group, which was functioning only
slightly better. The benefits of the acupuncture group
lasted for the full 52 weeks.
"We don't know why people got back pain relief
from the simulated acupuncture" said Karen J.
Sherman, Cherkin's co-author. "Historically, some
types of acupuncture have used non-penetrating nee-
dles. Such treatments may involve physiological
effects that make a clinical difference." Or it might be
all about the mind-body connection, she said. "Maybe
the context in which people get treatment has effects
that are more important than the mechanically
induced effects." Western standard medical care does
not have highly effective medical treatments for
chronic back pain, Cherkin said. Back pain is the
biggest reason why Americans use alternative thera-
pies like acupuncture. "The findings of this research
show that acupuncture treatments, including simulat-
ed acupuncture, can elicit positive responses," said
Josephine P. Briggs, M.D., director of National Center
meaningful is taking place during acupuncture treat-
ments outside of actual needling”.
Backaches are a common pathology among people
everywhere and thanks to the Westward expansion of
Traditional Chinese Medicine; people are coming to
appreciate the age old medical wisdom of the Orient.
This is especially true with regard to the alleviation of
back pain.
Stop suffering from chronic or acute back pain
today! If you haven’t tried acupuncture, now is the
time to put an end to your pain and regain your life.
R.G. stated, “I was so tired of the pain in my right
lower back. I’ve suffered for the last 9 months and
many doctors, shots, and pain meds later I was still in
pain. I had just one acupuncture treatment last week
at Skyland’s and I’m pain free. My only regret is that
I waited so long to try acupuncture.”

With a Little Help From Her Friends…..
Coffeehouse Fundraiser at Flanders UPC

aria J. Clark-Adragna is a fighter.
She has appeared on the off-
Broadway stage, on local cable
TV, speaks at many venues about disability
awareness, and has just finished writing her
memoirs. However, for her, every day is a
challenge to be seen as “normal”. Clark-
Adragna was born with osteogenesis imper-
fecta, (brittle bones). This stunts growth,
results in bones that break easily, and can
cause other physical problems. Because she
doesn’t have the weight-bearing limps to
walk far independently, Clark-Adragna
uses a wheelchair and a specially equipped
van to get around. She fights every day to
show people she is not, in her words, “the
cripple girl who was born in Jersey City”,
but an independent person with the same
hopes and dreams as everyone else.
For Clark-Adragna, her specially
equipped van is indeed her lifeline. It gives
her the mobility she needs. However,
Clark-Adragna’s van is now 20 years old
and becoming unsafe to drive. There is
help for the disabled that need to have their
vans equipped for their needs. However,
the individuals must come up with their
own vans.
Clark-Adragna’s friends at the United
Presbyterian Church want to help. The
result is
“Soup, Songs, and Stories”. This cof-
feehouse fundraiser will be held on Sunday
October 18th from 4pm – 6pm at the church
at 58 Drakesdale Road in Flanders, Soup,
pastries, and coffee will be served. All
donations will go toward the purchase price
of a specialized van.

the types of entertainment that will be at the

Help Find Me A Home.... Project Acorn Funds Preschool
for 500th Child
A
lively group of three- and four-year olds from
Morris County and surrounding communities are
starting preschool this fall thanks to Project Acorn,
Inc. This year's group brings the total of local children
aided by Project Acorn to 500 - many of these children hav-
ing attended preschool for two years. This year's students
include 34 who are returning for a second year of preschool
as four-year olds, as well as 46 three- and four-year olds
newly entering the program. Project Acorn sends these
children to half-day programs in high-quality local pre-
school providing parents with options for church/syna-
gogue based programs as well as traditional and Montessori
schools.
Project Acorn cites consistent research that shows pre-
school is the most cost effective means for improving the
education and life outcomes for lower income children.
For many families over the Head Start income limit of
$21,200 for a family of four, preschool education is unaf-
fordable, yet few private sources of assistance exist.
Project Acorn is supported by individual donors as well
as grants from foundations and businesses. Donors share
the organization's objective of strengthening the local com-
munity by giving children of working families in need a
proven means to improve their educational success. Recent
donors include: Best Foods Educational Foundation, F.M.
Kirby Foundation, PNC Foundation, William E. Simon
Foundation, Novartis Pharmaceuticals, Morristown Rotary,
and Sanofi-Aventis.
Project Acorn was founded in 1995 by Morristown resi-
dents, Stuart and Jill Lasser, based on the benefits they saw
when their son attended preschool. For more information

FDR’s Secret Love
O
n an evening in August 1944, a train from
Washington, D.C. bound for Hyde Park, New York
pulled into a little train depot at Allamuchy, New
Jersey. This was no ordinary train—the President of the
United States, Franklin Delano Roosevelt—was on board.
But why did the train stop here during some of the darkest
days of World War II?
During World War I, Franklin Roosevelt was Assistant
Secretary of the Navy. In September 1918, Franklin and
wife, Eleanor, returned to the United States after visiting
the European front. Unpacking her husband’s suitcase, she
uncovered a packet of love letters. Unfortunately the love
letters didn’t belong to her. They were from Lucy Mercer,
Eleanor’s young social secretary. Described as “tall, beauti-
ful, well-bred with a low throaty voice and an incompara-
bly winning smile,” Lucy had attracted Franklin’s attention
four years before. Mrs. Roosevelt was devastated, and
offered Franklin a divorce. He asked for forgiveness and
promised never to see Lucy again. News of an affair and
divorce would have most certainly ruined Franklin
Roosevelt’s promising future political career.
In 1920, Lucy married Winthrop Rutherfurd, a wealthy
New York City socialite almost thirty years her senior. He
owned vast estates in Aiken, South Carolina, and
Tranquility, New Jersey. He built an 18,000-square-foot
estate in Allamuchy with 33 rooms and 17 bathrooms,
known as “The Brick House.” The Rutherfurds spent their
summers there, wintering in South Carolina. In March of
1944, Winthrop Rutherfurd died after suffering a stroke
three years earlier.
We now know that the love affair between Lucy and
Franklin did not end. They continued to write to each other,
and Franklin secretly visited her when he could. After
Lucy’s husband died, Franklin was even more determined
to see her in New Jersey.
In the middle of the night, the train pulled into the sta-
tion (which still stands) blocking Johnsonburg Road to keep
onlookers away. At midmorning, Franklin Roosevelt, in his
wheelchair, was lifted into a waiting car for the one-mile
drive to the mansion, where Lucy was waiting. A group of
Washington reporters were on the train, passing the time
playing poker. They asked a U.S. Secret Service agent, who
was walking the president’s dog, Fala, why they were stop-
ping. He told them the president was “visiting a friend.”
Asking no questions, they re-boarded the train and resumed
the poker game.
FDR stayed with Lucy at the mansion until 5:30 in the
afternoon. While there, he even made a personal overseas
telephone call to Winston Churchill, who was recovering
from a bout with pneumonia.
Late that afternoon, the train departed New Jersey and
arrived in Hyde Park, New York early in the evening.
Meanwhile back home, Eleanor Roosevelt was waiting for
her husband. She had prepared him a special dinner, know-
ing nothing of his romantic liaison at Allamuchy.
FDR planned several more visits to Allamuchy in the
coming months. But his health was quickly failing, and six
months later he would die suddenly at his “Little White
House” in Warm Springs, Georgia—ironically, with Lucy
Mercer at his side. At age 57, Lucy later passed away in
1948 of leukemia.
In 1950, The Brick House was sold to the Catholic
Sisters of Divine Charity and renamed “Villa Madonna.” In
2007, the Allamuchy Board of Education purchased the
building, which stands at the intersection of County Route
517 and Interstate Route 80. It was used to house pre-
kindergarten through second grade students. The building
was renamed “Mountain Villa School” and the mansion
named “Rutherfurd Hall.”
A few miles down the road, just off Route 517, a simple
gravestone in Tranquility Cemetery marks the final resting
place of Lucy and Winthrop Rutherfurd.
A fascinating story and a great piece of history—right
here in our own backyard.
Dr. Raymond Frey is a professor of history at Centenary
College in Hackettstown, NJ.

Change
By Harlin Parker
I U
t’s true. Change is not easy. We humans are somehow
hardwired to be cautious of change. After all, even with
the most meticulous plan, we may think we know what
will happen but deep down inside we know that something
could go awry and we’ll be worse off than we were. That’s
so even when we know we have to change. And if there is
one thing we’ve learned from this Great Recession, we
know we can’t keep doing what we’ve been doing in the
same way. We know that here in New Jersey, with our mul-
titude of municipalities, school districts, commissions,
authorities, departments, and you-name-it, we are overbur-
dened with government. We literally cannot afford this
anymore. We know, at least most of us do, that how we cur-
rently structure and operate our government just isn’t work-
ing and we must, must make some long overdue adjust-
ments.
But still, change can be scary, and people of good will
have differing opinions as to what makes sense, and what
doesn’t. And, of course, the entrenched interests, including
those people who belong to the “we-have-always-done-it-
this-way” club, are part of the problem, not the solution. So
while this will not be easy or quick, I am sure it is possible
to bring about the changes we need and, well, we just don’t
have any choice. There is no storm that will blow over, and
the sun will come out again, and we can go back to the way
things were.
New Jersey’s municipalities, including my own home,
Washington Township, are caught in a structural problem
that, left unattended, continues to inevitably push up prop-
erty taxes, push down the amount and quality of local serv-
ices, and produces the kind of haphazard development we
see all around us. Things are so out of control that we are
currently witnessing tens of thousands of people leaving
New Jersey even though they’d prefer to stay. This is mad-
ness, is it not? Who’s next to leave? You? Clearly, we need
to fix things. And we need to go about it in as conscien-
tious, eyes wide open, mature and (dare I say?) intelligent a
manner as possible. A good bit of courage will help too.
Just last month, Committeeman Tracy Tobin retired from
his seat on the Washington Township Committee after 27
years of service. 27 years. Think about that. How did you
go about your own business 27 years ago? In my office, we
all used IBM selectric typewriters. And “cc” actually meant
“carbon copy.” Much has changed over the past 27 years in
how we all go about business. But in New Jersey, not all
that much has changed as to how municipalities go about
their business.
The recent series of articles in the Daily Record high-
lighted the challenges that confront us as we look to tackle
New Jersey’s crushing tax burden. Solutions were offered
that include tax base sharing, regionalization and consolida-
tion. All excellent ideas (and yes, ones that I’ve been push-
ing for a long time). But what have we gotten over the
years? The great ballyhooed “inter-local service agree-
ments,” often referred to as “shared service agreements” are
timid, small steps that fall far short of the kind of compre-
hensive, long term solutions we need. Shared service
agreements are short term, usually only a year or so, and are
subject to the whims of new mayors or council or commit-
tee members. They’re ad hoc and scattered. Washington
Township has such agreements with Califon for police serv-
ice and municipal court services. We had such agreements
with The Chesters for emergency dispatch service until that
was recently ruined. We have one with Chester Township
for financial officer services and we’re contemplating one
for health department services. Oh, and we’re apparently
talking with Tewksbury about something as well.
Unfortunately, this is the kind of scattershot, ad hoc, short
term way of doing business that, while possibly better than
the days when each municipality had to have its own of

Community Gathers to Give Three T’s
By Kathryn Davis
nder a beautiful, cloudless September sky, over fif-
teen hundred people walked the perimeter of the
Rockaway Mall recently in support of the eighth
annual Saint Clare’s Walk for Breast Cancer Awareness.
Hosted by the Hilton Garden Inn, the Township of
Rockaway, and the Rockaway Townsquare Mall, the event
was held to raise awareness of breast cancer. The walk pro-
moted early diagnosis as well as St. Clare’s newest cancer
treatment, TomoTherapy, a revolutionary therapy integrat-
ing CT imaging and the latest in radiation technology.
When Ben Martin, Marketing Manager for St. Clare’s
Health System, stood at the podium before the walk, he told
the story of the “traveling shirt.”
“The first year it was done behind the scenes,” he said,
describing an incident that occurred at the 2007 walk.
Donita Judge, a Denville resident, had come to the walk in
the midst of her battle with breast cancer. With no shirts
left, the chair of the walk committee, Sandy Warner, gave
Judge her own shirt.
“The next year,” Martin continued, “…Donita got
onstage and explained what happened to her. She asked if
there was anyone she could give the shirt to. She gave it to
Linda Hartman.”
When Linda Hartman spoke into the microphone at this
year’s walk, she held up the wig she had worn last year
when she received the shirt.
“Last year, I had no hair. I wanted so desperately to feel
better again,” Hartman told the crowd. “I want all of you to
know what a difference a year makes.”
While Judge was unable to attend this year’s event (She
was attending her sister’s wedding.), St. Clare’s Foundation
Executive Director Steve Nicholl read a statement from her.
“Stay encouraged, because you will never walk alone.”
When participants began arriving at seven that morning,
they found breakfast donated by the Hilton Garden Inn and
Villa Italian Kitchen in the mall. Many of the teams set up
booths, tables, and canopies with their own assortment of
breakfast items. Tables were also set up to offer various
products such as pink bracelets to support awareness, and
50/50 tickets.
Massage therapists from the Center for Complementary
Medicine at St. Clare’s, were busy giving free massages to
survivors participating in the walk. “I feel like I’m in heav-
en,” said participant Pat McNamara.
Girl Scouts from Troop 423 of Roxbury presented sash-
es to survivors and caregivers. Along the sidelines, cheer-
leaders from both Morris Knolls and Morris Hills High
Schools provided encouragement for the walkers. Teams
were formed for the event from all over the area, including
the staff and residents of Franciscan Oaks of Denville,
Team Carole from TD Bank, Team Dreyfuss from
Mountain Lakes, and Team Curves of Mt. Olive.
Donna Richardson of Stanhope has been a member of
Mt. Olive Curves for over five years. She joined Team
Curves, walking for the first time this year.
“My mother is a breast cancer survivor,” Richardson
explained. “She was diagnosed with a rare form of breast
cancer called mammary paget’s disease. It’s a rash that
some doctors are not familiar with. That was about four
years ago. She’s doing well today.”
“Two girls I work with had breast cancer in their fami-
lies,” said Team Dreyfuss member Maureen Vander Velde
of Byram.
Ruth Wilson of Team Carole said, “We walked in mem-
ory of the sister-in-law of our human resources officer at
TD Bank.” Wilson is this year’s recipient of the Mary
Mulholland Spirit Award, which recognizes outstanding
volunteer leadership.
The event brought together those who walked in some-
one’s memory, and those who just wanted to show support
for a good cause. “I thought it was great. I love Curves and
I thought it was a great way to support breast cancer aware-
ness and St. Clare’s,” said Laura Kay of Mt. Olive. “I’m
glad I got to be a part of it.”
Some participants discovered energy they didn’t know
they had. “I didn’t think I’d make it and I did it,” said Team
Curves member Audrey Montroni of Oak Ridge. “I’m 73
years old and I made it!”
Some people had energy to spare. Donna Kope of Mt.
Olive and her two young daughters also participated as
members of Team Curves. When the walk was over, she
gathered up her girls. “Mass is at 10:30. I’ve got to get them
to church.”
“The feeling was overwhelming that day for me,” said
Lori Johnson, owner of Mt. Olive Curves and organizer of
the team. “When we looked back, there were just so many
people. I wasn’t the only one who got a lump in my throat.”
Women who live in the United States have a 1 in 7
chance of developing breast cancer in their lifetime. Next to
skin cancer, breast cancer is the most common type of can-
cer in women.
“People with breast cancer have to go through so much,”
Johnson noted. “It doesn’t effect just women. It can effect
men, anyone, no matter where they live, what race they are.
In church they talk about the three T’s, time, talent, and
treasure. In that walk, that’s what everyone did.”
The commitment Johnson talked about goes beyond the
September walk. Johnson explained that the Curves mis-
sion statement is strengthening women. “It’s not just some-
thing we say. It’s our responsibility. That’s why we are
involved in this cause. It’s why we did the walk. For all of
us who walked, we gained inner strength and a sense of
accomplishment. We just had to walk.”
October is breast cancer awareness month. With that in
mind, Mt. Olive Curves is waiving the service fee during
the last week of October for those who show proof of a
recent mammogram. “Another option,” Johnson said, “is to
make a minimum twenty-five dollar donation for breast
cancer research. That’s a savings of $149.”
In addition, Johnson is hosting a “Girls’ Get-together”
on Friday, October 30, from 6-7:30 p.m. “It’s an open house
for anyone in the community,” she explained. “We’re going
to have a guest speaker from the American Cancer Society.
We’ll have vendors. There will be someone from Pampered
Chef, Longaberger, Family Florist, Tupperware, Avon, a
soy candle representative. There will be light refreshments,
raffles, tricky trays. All the money we raise that night goes
to breast cancer research. Anyone can come, members and
nonmembers. Everyone is invited to come and have a love-
ly evening. This night is free to everyone.”
According to St. Clare’s Foundation Chair Kimberly
Armenti, this year’s event was a huge success. They sur-
passed their goal of $150,000 “because of the support of the
community and sponsors like ADD Systems, TD Bank, and
WDHA/WMTR.”
“I was surprised to see so many people,” Team Curves
member Donna Richardson said of the walk. “I didn’t think
it was that many. I was impressed. I’ll do it again. It was for
a good cause.”
The event is the culmination of work that takes place all
year. To learn more about the walk, or how to get involved,

Listen To Luigi
I
recalled in January 2009 when
President-elect Barack Obama was talk-
ing about how we needed a stimulus
package to help create 4.1 million jobs.
The following was an excerpt from a
news article on the MSNBC Web site last
January:
In his weekly radio and YouTube broad-
cast address on Saturday, President-elect
Obama pointed out that he has taken the
unusual step of working ahead of his
January 20 inauguration with members of
his own Democratic Party as well as the
rival Republicans to seek consensus on a
plan to stimulate a recovery from the reces-
sion.
"If nothing is done, economists from
across the spectrum tell us that this reces-
sion could linger for years and the unem-
ployment rate could reach double digits —
and they warn that our nation could lose the
competitive edge that has served as a foun-
dation for our strength and standing in the
world," he said.
The President-elect said that a new
analysis by his economic advisers indicated
that his economic recovery plan "will likely
save or create three to four million jobs."
Fast forward to last week from the Los
Angeles Times:
The unemployment rate rises to 9.8 per-
cent as employers cut more jobs than
expected. A net 263,000 jobs were eliminat-
ed in September, pushing the jobless rate to
a 26-year high. The rate of unemployment
plus underemployment – representing
workers whose hours were cut back – is 17
percent.
Reporting from Los Angeles and
Washington, the nation's unemployment
rate edged closer to double digits in
September but only began to reflect the
miserable reality confronting America's
workforce.
The government reported Friday that the
jobless rate rose to a 26-year high of 9.8
percent, up from 9.7 percent in August. The
gauge's latest move up came as employers
cut their payrolls by 263,000 jobs, far more
than analysts had expected, raising fresh
concerns about the economy's ability to sus-
tain its budding recovery.
Okay, so the quick rush to spend our
money has resulted in what? The highest
unemployment rate in 26 years? Now,
before all the liberals say it, I will. It was
Bush’s fault! But the reality is that it is not.
President Obama has done little during his
first nine months but cause the national debt
to grow to the highest levels in the coun-
try’s history. His administration plans on
spending more money on health care that
will increase the debt even further. And
confidence in our economy keeps dropping.

The views and opinions of this syndicated column does not
reflect the view and opinions of MJ Media LLC
People claim that the media is saying the
economy is getting better. Of course, the
media is saying that and has to. The state
run media machine has to get the PR out to
give people confidence, because Obama’s
poll numbers have plummeted faster than
the Titanic. The only problem is that people
look at their own finances and know what is
really happening. In most cases, it is not
good. People are worse off now than they
were before. You can blame Bush all you
want to, but the truth is that nothing has
been done yet under Obama to help the sit-
uation short-term. In the long run, things
will be worse because of the mounting debt
that is accumulating. From January to
October, Obama’s approval rating dropped
to under 49 percent, a more than 20 percent
decrease.
People or at least the people who like to
read facts and not listen to the Obama
machine are realizing that he is a hard-core
extremist who has no right to be running
this country. In fact, he really does not run
it. He leaves that task to House Speaker
Nancy Pelosi and Senate Majority Leader
Harry Reid and his 20 or so czars for whom
we are bankrolling.
The Obama administration tries to push
through legislation quickly. Why is that?
They want to get their agenda through
before the November 2010 elections. People
is starting to see what Obama stands for, and
many now do not like it. When I speak with
people who voted for him (not including the
hard-core liberals), most say that they regret
having voted for this guy.
How can this be? Wasn’t he supposed to
be the Messiah? The reality is that the coun-
try was in a perfect storm to help him get
elected into office. The country was angry
about going to war in Iraq. The economy
was in shambles, thanks largely to failed
policies that started from presidents Jimmy
Carter through Bill Clinton. So this young
guy with brilliant speaking abilities (later I
learned it is the teleprompter) comes along
and gets elected. We were jubilated to have
our first African-American president in
office. He was untouchable during the hon-
eymoon period. Now people have become
vocal and grass roots organizations are pop-
ping up. The disgruntled folks want to keep
America the way it is and not the way
Obama and his team want it to be.
It was okay for the Democrats to bash
Bush for years. They went so far as to have

Count To Ten is an upbeat, dance-filled
musical, that plays at the Theater at St.
Clements in Midtown Manhattan October
15-17. Two of the four performances are
sold out, but the public can still purchase
tickets to the 1 p.m. and 5 p.m. showings on
Friday, October 16. People who are inter-
Hollywood produce movies based on his
blunders and unpopular policies. But when
you criticize the almighty Obama, they call
you a racist. Even former President Jimmy
Carter said he thought it was racist to be
criticizing the almighty. Carter might be los-
ing his mind, so no one really cares what he
says anymore. Race has nothing to do with
the criticisms of Obama. It is his compe-
tence that is in question.
Americans who understand what this
country is all about and the principles upon
which it was founded see what he is doing
to destroy those ideals. But the blind who
are just in it for freebies cannot see it. As I
see it, there are two types of people in this
country. There are those who want to make
a life for themselves by working hard and
feeling good about their accomplishments.
Then there are those who need the govern-
ment to provide for them by taking money
from people who work hard. With that type
of mentality, the country is doomed.
We are just fortunate to have elections.
Next year is a big election year for the U.S.
Congress and Senate. If things keep going
the way they are, most incumbents will be
out of office. People can blame Bush all
they want to. But the reality is that the peo-
ple who are running the asylum today are
the same people who ran it when Bush was
in office. These people have done nothing
but drag this country down further than at
any other time in our history.
There is nothing we can do with Obama
now but live with him and hope that he will
be a one-term president. We can only hope
that his policies will inflict limited damage
and that they will not destroy our freedoms.
We can only look forward to the day when
we can regain our strength as a superpower
before countries like Iran and North Korea
keep pushing us around because they know
that we have a lot of problems and weak
leadership.
These days President Obama appears
more of a celebrity than a president. He is
on late night shows, ranging from Leno to
Letterman and every other show in between.
His trip to Copenhagen to win the Olympics
for Chicago only took money and time away
from more important issues, such as the
Iranian nuclear crisis and the Afghanistan
war. And P.S., we didn’t get the Olympics.

Fall Recipes
T
hese days, people are making
fewer visits to their favorite
restaurants opting, instead,
to dine at home. Inspired by cookbooks
and television programs, such as Bravo’s
“Top Chef,” home cooks
are getting increasingly more creative in
the kitchen. And with a greater array of
kitchen helpers and chefs’ own trusted
shortcuts available in grocery stores, it’s
never been easier to cook like a top chef at
home. For example, Swanson chicken broth
is a pantry essential that adds rich, delicious
flavor to everyday culinary creations.
Here are some great recipes to try,
inspired by a recent Quickfire Challenge on
“Top Chef.” Thai Roasted Squash Soup is a
sweet and spicy dish, infused with flavors
of coconut,
curry, fresh ginger and cilantro. For a
rustic dish that pairs beautifully with a vari-
ety of main courses, try Roasted Tomato
and Barley Soup. Visit www.swanson-

Enjoy The Fall Foliage at Canal

Heritage Days at Waterloo

T
he Canal Society of New Jersey invites the public to
enjoy the heritage of the Morris Canal and Waterloo
Village on Saturday, October 24 from 11 a.m. to 5
p.m. The event is held in conjunction with the NJ DEP
Division of Parks and Forestry. The reconstructed Lenape
Indian Village will be open for tours, as well. Admission is
free, and the events will take place rain or shine.
There will be boat rides on the peaceful Morris Canal. In
addition, guided tours of Morris Canal sites will be offered.
Enjoy the beautiful fall foliage while taking self-guided
walking tours of the historic buildings that line the ancient
stagecoach road. Children will be able to play with old-
fashioned wooden toys within sight of the canal. The Canal

visits. There will also be demonstrations of historic candle
making techniques at the Rutan Cabin.

only. For more information, call (908) 722-9556, or visit

everything, falls far, far short of the restructuring every
independent expert agrees we must have if we’re ever
going to get a grip on how we do government in New
Jersey.
On a personal note, I’m sorry to see Committeeman
Tobin go. Even as this was to be his last year, he spoke
about the tragic medical news that has befallen his son,
prompting his immediate retirement. All of us, I’m sure,
extend our heartfelt prayers to him, his son and his entire
family. I believe his departure is a loss for the people of
Washington Township. We have lost an independent voice;
someone who looked beyond partisanship, beyond short
term gain. I know Committeeman Tobin shared my con-
cerns about the structural problems affecting municipali-
ties, including Washington Township. And I believe he
shared my view that decisions made by the Township
Committee should be based not on short term expedience
but on what is in our best long term interest. Example?
Recently, as the Township Committee contemplated a
“fee” on local children who participate in youth sports, the
Committeemen discussed the 29 sports fields in town.
Washington Township spent over $5,000,000.00 (Five mil-
lion dollars) building those fields. Mayor Ken Short dis-
cussed how, years earlier, Committeeman Tobin spoke up
and cautioned his colleagues to take into account and plan
for the substantial annual costs of maintaining those fields.
Yet, in Mr. Short’s own words, “We ignored you.” Yes,
they did. And now we all pay the costs. Some more than
others. Sadly, it isn’t just the sage advice of
Committeeman Tobin that’s been ignored over the years.
The Township Committee has a history of ignoring the vot-
ers, as it did when it built a new town hall and police head-
quarters, even though residents in town had voted against
doing so.
In my own humble opinion, we need people who will
listen to and represent the cares, concerns and will of the
people who live here. We need people who, like Tracy
Tobin, lift their eyes to look beyond the trees so as to see
the forest. People who work for what is in the best long
term interests of the people they represent. After all, 27
years goes by awfully quick, doesn’t it, Tracy?
