Students at Wilson

Elementary School,

West Caldwell, will

notice a few changes this

fall when they arrive tofind that the old building

mural got a facelift. The

mural, done by art teacher

Eve Purcell, was a sum-

mer-long project gifted to

the school by the fifth

grade class of 2015.

The creative and color-

ful mural was both

designed and created byPurcell, and artistically

depicts all of the art proj-

ects that students at the

Wilson School Gets Face Lift From Art Teacher

school will complete as part of the curriculum.

“I designed the mural and had some help with the

painting from my son, Ryan Purcell, and a former

Wilson student, Brielle Rapsas, who is now in high

school,” said Purcell. “The inspiration for the design

was the many masterpieces that we study in my

Kindergarten through fifth grade art classes.”

Visitors with an artistic eye will notice the work of

artists Piet Mondrian, Wayne Thiebaud, Robert Indiana,

Paul Klee, Henri Matisse, Vincent Van Gogh, Wassily

Kandinsky and Jim Dine from left to right on the mural.

Added Purcell, “Our mural is composed of loose

interpretations of their works, rather than exact copies. I

hope it serves to brighten up the entrance and welcome

students, staff and visitors to Wilson for many years to

come.”

Completing its first year as an offi-

cial club at James Caldwell High

School (JCHS), West Caldwell,

the Forensic Team, under the guidance of

team president Rachael Borrows and vicepresident Lydia Wielgus, came home

with more than a few trophies and a ton

of motivation.

Originally formed in 2014, when a

group of 10 students went to the district’sBoard of Education to request that the

successful middle school team be

allowed to continue at the high school

level, the team had a successful first year

with Borrows coordinating and leading

many of the events, and Wielgus earningtop spots in several of the competitions.

“The high school competitions are

definitely different from those at the mid-

dle school level,” said Borrows. “They

are more official, requiring presenters towear suits, use a black binder for the doc-

uments, and are timed. The high school

competitions also offer a wider array of

competition categories, including dra-

matic representation, original oratory,

prose and poetry, declamation, humorous

interpretation, and debate.”

Not your typical high school club,forensics trains students in the art of pub-

lic speaking and presentation. A contestbetween individuals or teams in various

argument and advocacy skills, forensics

groups or teams usually form at the mid-dle school and high school level, coach-

ing students in speech and debate skills

to help the students become effective

communicators, an essential skill typical-

ly required by all employers.

The JCHS club, under the guidance of teachers Kathleen Ryan and Claudia

Douris, meets weekly. Ryan focuses on

the day-to-day training and competitionsat the high school level, with Douris

coaching the middle school students andworking with the high school students at

the weekly team meetings and competi-

tions.

“With the help of Ms. Ryan and Ms.

Douris we learned a lot about forensicsthis year,” added Borrows. “We made

connections with forensicators from

other schools who helped to guide us,

and are grateful to Dr. Heinegg and oth-

ers who have supported us as we learnedthe ins and outs of competing at the high

school level.”As the first competitive year for the

team drew to a close, members earned

more than a handful of trophies and rib-bons, and organized its first annual

Forensics Fest last May. The club also

plans to begin a program with the ele-

mentary students where club members

will perform their pieces for the students,

hoping to build more interest in the clubwhile gaining much-valued practice time.

Borrows has delivered a variety of

pieces this year, including PrincessDiana’s Eulogy and a powerful speech on

AIDS given by Elizabeth Glaser at the1992 Democratic Convention, and she

recently wrote and performed an original

piece that focuses on stereotypes.

“Forensics is great for building confi-

dence,” said Borrows. “I am a shy personby nature and I never was comfortable

speaking with people, but forensics

changed that. The more I do it, the more

comfortable I am speaking to large

groups and speaking to individuals.”And, Borrows, who is also a member

of the band, math club, key club,

National Honor Society, Student Council,

and the English and Math Honor

By Cheryl Conway

It has been ten years since the seniors in the

Caldwells had a new bus, but thanks to a recent

grant received by the township, local elders will be

riding in style.By the end of October or early November, 100 resi-

dents in three towns will be able to take advantage of a

brand new bus through a shared service program. The

new bus has been made possible through a grant award-

ed to West Caldwell Township by Essex County

Freeholders.

While the old bus still runs, the vehicle has become

old and less reliable over the past decade. Officials are

pleased that local seniors will be soon transported to

nearby areas, whether for shopping, community events

or eating out in updated wheels.

“It’s great that we get this grant,” says West Caldwell

Council-member Stan Hladik. “I’m very excited; our

seniors deserve the best we can offer them. This bus will

go a long way to filling their shopping needs.”

At the Aug. 4 West Caldwell Town Council meeting,

Hladik announced that the Essex County Freeholders

had award the township a Community Block

Development Grant to pay for the new senior bus. The

vehicle will be shared with West Caldwell, Caldwell and

Roseland as part of the township’s ongoing shared serv-

ices agreement for the Senior Citizens Transportation

Program.

For more than 30 years, the Senior Citizens Shared

Services Agreement has been intact, says Hladik, whoserves as liaison between the town council and shared

services program for senior citizen transportation, one

of many shared services offered in the Borough of

Caldwell.

Shared services for senior transportation with the

three towns has been quite effective as the program

requires funding every year to cover the cost of a driv-

er, gas, insurance and vehicle maintenance, says Hladik.

With each town receiving $20,000 for the grant, Hladik

estimates the bus to cost about $60,000.

While the new bus will be the same size, the vehicle

will be “more comfortable,” says Hladik; have central

air-conditioning and heat; as well as a hydraulic lift for

wheelchair accessibility, a feature not equipped on the

old bus, he adds.

Township officials had applied for the block grant

earlier this spring, as they knew the old bus was reach-

ing 100,000 miles and it was ‘time to replace it.” Hladik

says the bus will most likely be traded in.

The bus is available to seniors five days a week,

Monday through Friday, with local stops including

Willowbrook Mall, Verona Park, the Caldwell

Community Center, different food establishments, and

grocery stores such as Shoprite and Stop and Shop.

The senior bus is a free transportation service avail-able to all residents 60 years or older living in Caldwell,

West Caldwell and Roseland. An identification card is

required and can be obtained at the Caldwell Senior

Center. Residents should call 973-226-5108 to reserve

their place on the bus daily.

As of Sept. 1, the NJ Car Seat Lawwill be changing. Children under

the age of two and weighing less

than 30 pounds must be in a rear-facing

car seat with a five point harness. The

car seat must be in a rear seat of the vehi-

cle.From age two through age four and

New Jersey Blood Services has

planned the following blood

drives:

Sept. 20- Seventh Day Adventist Church

in Dover, 8 a.m. to 2 p.m.; FlandersUnited Presbyterian in Flanders, 9 a.m. to

1:30 p.m..

Sept. 25- Madison Area YMCA,

Madison, 2 p.m. to 8 p.m.

Sept. 28- Knights of Columbus, Netcong,

3 p.m. to 9 p.m.

New Jersey Blood Services, a division

of New York Blood Center (NYBC) is

asking for help to maintain an adequate

supply of all blood types, but especially

O-negative – the “universal” blood which

can be transfused into anyone in an emer-gency. In addition, hundreds of addition-

al blood drives need to be scheduled to

meet projected hospital demand. Current

inventory of several blood types is run-

ning below the desired target level.

“It’s simple: hospital patient demand

for blood often outpaces our best efforts

to recruit donors and schedule blood

drives,” said NYBC Executive Director

of Donor Recruitment Andrea Cefarelli.

“There are always reasons but we have to

overcome that for the sake of hospital

patients who need us.”

“This is one of the toughest times of the year,” Cefarelli added. “We’re asking

for our dedicated supporters to roll up

their sleeves to make sure we’re able to

provide our hospital partners with what-

ever they need to take care of their

patients.”

Blood products have a short shelf life

– from five to 42 days, so constant

replenishment is necessary. Each and

every day there are patients who depend

on the transfusion of red blood cells,

platelets and plasma to stay alive. Butblood and blood products can’t be manu-

factured. They can only come from vol-

unteer blood donors who take an hour to

attend a blood drive or visit a donor cen-

ter.

To donate blood or for information on

how to organize a blood drive call 1-800-

933-2566; visit: www.nybloodcenter.org.

powered machinery. Steampunk channels the era's perspec-tive of those that lived during this futuristic thinkingVictorian and American Wild West age. Steampunk is aboutrevisiting its own distinct fashion, culture, architectural styleand art. It was a time of colorful futuristic storytelling fromH. G. Wells and Jules Verne. The Thomas Alva Edison fac-tory laboratories and his Victorian Glenmont estate home inWest Orange are in themselves Steampunk time capsulesmaintained by our National Park Service. It is also furtherpreserved by private funds, foundations and the Friends of TENHP that do dedicated fundraising where it is needed.They provide the additional renovations, enhancements and

special project exhibits that are not covered in the NHPbudget. The FoTENHP also promotes the era’s pastimes of gardening, fashion, advertisements and the music that wereconnected to these Edison inventions in true spirit.

Coincidentally, the Victorian age of the late 19th Century

was also the pinnacle years of Thomas Edison’s career thatmade him the world’s famous wizard of invention capable of moving ideas off from the science fiction category to theworld of tomorrow. In 1897 H.G. Wells created his sciencefiction masterpiece The War Of The Worlds. The Hearstnewspaper group commissioned a sequel to follow it.Science editor - Garrett Putnam Serviss would write the nextstory. This sequel follow up was entitled Edison’s Conquestof Mars which appeared in Feb. of 1898. Thomas Edisonbecame the heroic character of this science fiction world.The iconic persona of Edison was a name that lent thebelievability factor to a new fiction genre – the space tech-

no-thriller. Serviss’ book was the first space battle to everappear in print.The West Orange laboratory complex was built in 1887.

The facilities were well equipped with many kinds of machinery and instruments, with a factory supply of materi-als from around the world that employed dedicated and care-fully-chosen workers. Employees that worked at Edison’sfactory laboratories did not need to read a science fictionbook to believe that Thomas Edison had the imagination totake them into the future with his inventions and ideas.There was a lot of excitement working for Thomas Edisonthat attracted the best talent pool of employees not only

locally but from around the world. This pool also includedgreat performing artists for his film and music studio pro-ductions. Edison’s closest workers were his engineering anddevelopment team that he fondly called his Muckers. Therewere great employee celebrations too that went along withthe hard work that helped produce the grist for futuristic pulpfiction in its day.

ment and, ultimately, to financial independ-

ence.”The outing offers women two ways to
