No. 7 Vol. 9 www.mypaperonline.com September 2015

Just in time for the new school year, the BoroughElementary School in Morris Plains is the next school inline to get its grounds cleaned up by a beautification and

safety initiative.

Volunteers with the “One Day One School” award-win-ning program will make its way over to the Borough Schoolon Sat., Oct. 10, to beautify the property and make sure itsgrounds are safe to all. The innovative program focuses theefforts of volunteer business owners, public and school offi-cials, and students to beautify school property and enhancesafety.

Tom "Ace" Gallagher, founder of the nationally recog-nized One Day One School program, and SuperintendentMark Maire of the Morris Plains School District are excitedfor this next school clean up. Organizers are working withschool community members, inviting as many volunteers aspossible to support the Borough School event.

“The entire initiative is based on encouraging students tocome out to participate and take ownership of their schools,”Gallagher says. “It provides a way to give back to the com-munity to provide our students and our community a schoolthat is safe, beautiful and a place we can be proud of.”

Morris Plain Superintendent Mark Maire says, “This isan incredible service to our facilities, and we thank Mr. Tom“Ace” Gallagher, founder of One Day/One School, forselecting Morris Plains. We are thrilled to host an event thatbrings local municipalities and school community stake-holders together to promote beautification, safety and envi-ronmental awareness.”

The idea for One Day/One School hit Gallagher- ownerof Whippany’s Ace Gallagher Stump Grinding- while walk-ing his children to school in 2007. Glancing up, he wasalarmed by dead branches threatening to fall from the treecanopy. Recognizing the danger to school children, he con-tacted the district’s superintendent and offered to donate hisprofessional tree care services and enlist volunteers from the

industry and community to make the school path safe.He proposed organizing this project as a one-day event to

clean up the grounds of the school, remove debris, trim treesand do landscaping. Given the high cost, specialized skill,and safety considerations associated with tree maintenance,the school district welcomed the opportunity and joined thepartnership for the one-day event.

From that project, One Day/One School moved each yearto a different location and grew to more than 200 volunteersworking hand-in-hand with school and municipal officials.

n Sat., Oct. 3, Sister Barbara Fiand

plans to present a retreat, The True

Self, at St. Mark Lutheran Churchin Morristown.

Sponsored by Voice of the Faithful NewJersey, the retreat will begin at 9:30 a.m.

with a complimentary continental break-

fast from 10 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. by Fiand’s

presentation on The True Self.

After a complimentary lunch, the after-

noon session will begin at 1:30 p.m. andwill close with Liturgy at 4 p.m.

Suggested offering is $35. All are wel-

come.

"Know thyself" is a plea that has stirredhuman questing ever since it is claimedthat Socrates challenged his followers to

do so thousands of years ago. But what is

one’s true self; and to approach it and

embrace it with the insights given in this

age, especially in the area of holistic spiri-

tuality?

Participants will reflect on this fascinat-

ing question especially in the light of what

science says today about fundamentalinterconnectedness, about the unfath-

omable mystery to which even the most

sophisticated scientific research must

yield, about universal consciousness and

the broadening of human awareness, and

the effects our intentionality has on theenvironment.

Fiand is a Sister of Notre Dame de

Namur. She gives retreats, workshops and

courses throughout the country and abroad

on issues related to holistic spirituality,

prayer, religious life, feminist spirituality,transformation of consciousness, quantum

spirituality, and the psychology and spiri-

tuality of human maturation. She is the

author of ten books and numerous articles.

Gallagher and Maire will join planning teams fromEast Hanover, HanoverTownship and Morris

Plains, who have maxi-mized resources across mul-tiple municipalities to sup-port this beautification pro-gram. This planning teamwill include the mayor, chief of police, school administra-tion, HSA members, rotari-ans, Knights of Columbusand others.

The award-winning pro-gram brings together treeexperts, school officials,

town representatives, localcompanies and students whovolunteer their time andservices to make their com-munity school groundscleaner and safer.

The program’s objectiveinvolves one day of volun-teer teamwork at one schoolto remove dangerous tree

limbs and landscape schoolgrounds.

Since its inception in2008, the initiative has col-lectively saved Hanover and

East Hanover townships,Florham Park Borough andDenville taxpayers morethan a half a million dollarsin tree work and landscap-ing.

Gallagher, a formerBoard of Education memberand a present committeemanin Hanover Twp. says,“Every time you can save adistrict a thousand dollars,that’s a computer. If you

save $60,000, that’s a newteacher.”

When Morris PlainsMayor Frank Druetzlerheard about the award-win-ning program, he felt itcould be a success in MorrisPlains. He introduced theidea to Maire, who wasthrilled with the potential

benefits of the program.Druetzler states, “One

Day One School is truly a‘shared services’ programthat is a great benefit to our

local schools and communi-ties.”

Druetzler andCouncilwoman SuzanneMcCluskey have beenworking with the leaders of those other towns, alongwith Maire, to bring similarresults for the BoroughSchool grounds.

The Oct. 10 event atBorough School will bededicated to Ralph Politi Jr.,

a well-known East Hanovercommunity leader who wasstruck and killed by analleged drunk driver in2012. Since the develop-ment of One Day OneSchool, Politi dedicated hisservices to provide a beauti-fication aspect to the pro-gram.

Many of the area’s besttree companies and land-scaping services are onboard once again, and theyremain committed to mak-

ing this day successful. Theorganizers are quick to iden-tify the grass-roots, volun-tary nature of the program asthe central key to its ongo-ing success.

Start time for tree servic-es and other professionals is8:30 a.m. with area tree carepartners and landscapersdonating their time, equip-ment, and services to pruneand remove dangerous trees

and branches. At 9:30 a.m.,students, families and vol-unteer crews will assist pro-fessionals in a completecleanup of the area, fol-lowed by the planting of new trees and shrubs. Theday’s events will concludewith a DJ and barbecue forall participants at 12:30

Morristown once comprised terri-tory stretching from Mendham

to Chatham until 1865 when,amidst the chaos of the Civil War, mysteri-

ous forces acted to separate it from Morris

Township. The Morristown & Morris

Township Library invites the community

to explore an exhibit that details the livesof those who came to Morristown seeking

wealth, redemption, conflict or a new

beginning. The exhibition, titled

“Morristown: 1865-2015: Identity,

Tradition and Enterprise,” will be on dis-play in the F.M. Kirby Gallery through

Dec. 31.

Utilizing rare and previously unseen

archival materials, visitors will witness the

development of the Green as the center of

commerce, public affairs, and leisure, andhow nearby houses of worship focused

residents’ spiritual and social lives. Long a

center of commerce and trade, early set-

tlers struggled with the limitations of dirtroads until residents developed interstate

canals, rail and trolley lines, and sophisti-

cated highway systems. Changes in crimi-

nal behavior and law enforcement will be

explored, as well as efforts to educate pro-ductive, upstanding citizens through for-

ward-thinking private and public schools.

In addition to the generations of innova-

tors and immigrants who built

Morristown’s many businesses and infra-structure, a look will be taken at those who

celebrated cultural and religious events,grieved over shared disaster and commem-

orated war dead, and fought to make

Morristown a place where everyone could

gather in peace.The exhibit is sponsored by a grant

from the New Jersey Historical

Commission and by funding from the

Friends of the Library. For more informa-

W

hile he won three Super

Bowls and was named to five

Pro-Bowls during his 11-year

career in the NFL, Bart Oates’ true call-ing was the church. Oates was the center

on the Giants’ 1986 and 1990 champi-

onship teams and won a third title with

the San Francisco 49ers in 1994.

On Aug. 30, Oates was named Bishop

of Morristown Ward 1 in the Church of

Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. The

church is located on James Street and has

300 members.

“I’ve been very blessed in my life,”

said Oates, who is a resident of HardingTownship and a senior vice president for

Avison Young, a Morristown-based real

estate firm. “Growing up in a small little

town in the southwest corner of Georgia,

I never thought I’d get a chance to play in

the NFL. I was fortunate that I had faith-

based parents that influenced me. As a

bishop, I don’t really have time to look

back.”

However, his parents, Moneta and

Bob, who are southern Baptists, always

made him put school before football. He

attended Brigham Young University inProvo, Utah, but left from 1978 to 1979,

when he did outreach and community

service in Northern Arizona and Nevada.

“It was a very defining time at the age

of 21,” he said.

He played three seasons with the

Philadelphia/Baltimore Stars in the

United States Football League, where he

won two championships in 1984 and

1985 and retired at the age of 35. His

desire to pursue a career after footballnever faded and he enrolled at Seton Hall

Law School in Newark in 1986 and grad-

uated magna cum laude with a Juris

Doctor degree in 1990.

His teammates knew he had a higher

calling. He was always learning or play-

ing chess instead of partying and ulti-

mately, this made life after football much

easier.

“I was kind of a nerd,” he said. “For

me, it was always what I did, not who I

am. I knew I was getting to the end and I

was ready to move on.”Even while hitting people on the grid-

iron, his faith remained. Nothing could

affect his affinity for religion and 20

years ago, he joined the Church of Jesus

Christ of Latter-day Saints. Whether it is

a bishop, priest or teacher, all congre-

gants have a role at the church, he said.

For the past few months, he was a

counselor to Bishop Bill Ludland and

prior to that, was the young men’s presi-

dent for four years. He said it is impor-tant to be accessible, offer spiritual guid-

ance and to accept everyone.

“I’m very much about being involved

in the community,” Oates said. “I don’t

look or feel any different than anyone in

the congregation.”

Congregations in the church are

grouped geographically, but there was a

recent shift in its boundaries. Members in

Parsippany, Mountain Lakes, Boonton

and Mendham will move to the new

Cedar Lakes Ward. There will now be

seven wards within the Morristown

boundaries: Dover, Clinton, Ledgewood,

Morristown 1, North Branch, Sparta and

Cedar Lakes.

New Jersey Blood Services has

planned the following blood

drives:

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 adequatesupply 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 tomeet 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 effortsto 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 toprovide our hospital partners with what-

ever they need to take care of theirpatients.”

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 dependon the transfusion of red blood cells,

platelets and plasma to stay alive. But

blood and blood products can’t be manu-

factured. They can only come from vol-

unteer blood donors who take an hour toattend a blood drive or visit a donor cen-

ter.

how to organize a blood drive call 1-800-

T

he difficulties presented during

and after Hurricane Irene and

Superstorm Sandy made it clear inrecent years that it’s very important for

residents of Morris County to be pre-

pared for future storms and disasters, and

that if is never known when emergencypreparedness will pay off.

September will be Disaster

Preparedness Month in Morris County

and across the nation, so there is no bet-

ter time than right now to prepare forfuture emergency situations.

“The mission of the Morris County

Office of Emergency Management is tosupport our countywide emergency

response partners, to protect lives and

property of our residents, and the envi-ronment,’’ said Morris County OEM

Director Jeff Paul.

“That is why it is so important to have

the entire Morris County community

engaged in Disaster Preparedness Month.My question to you would simply be: Are

you ready?”

Residents are asked to take prepared-

ness action now, to make a plan withtheir community, family and pets. Plan

how to stay safe and communicate duringthe disasters.

Morris County Fire Coordinator Lou

Pepe suggests the following:

Change Batteries in smoke detectors-

it could mean the difference between lifeand death.

Have a charged fire extinguisher near

the kitchen and know how to use it.

Maintain flashlights with batteries

throughout the home.Maintain a disaster package for thefamily.

Conduct a family drill to be sure of

alternate ways to get out of the house.

“We just have to look back at Irene

and Sandy to know that disasters canstrike right here in Morris County, and

that we need to be prepared,’’ said

Freeholder Doug Cabana, who is the

September Is Disaster Preparedness Month In Morris County-Get Ready For Natural Disasters

county governing board’s liaison on law

and public safety issues.“It’s really a matter of taking some

very basic steps to ensure you can sur-

vive for at least a short period if you lose

power, or can’t communicate and have

children or elderly persons or someone inneed of medication living with you.

Preparedness Month is the time to take

stock of your situation.’’

Go to http://www.ready.gov/ to learn

more about preparation.

National Preparedness Month, whichis sponsored nationally by the Federal

Emergency Management Agency, orFEMA, is a part of a governmental effort

to strengthen the nation’s preparedness

capabilities. It encompasses prevention,protection, response, and recovery efforts

to prepare residents for all hazards –

from natural disaster to terrorist attack.

Those interested in socializing with folks who keep thewheels of the museum turning at Edison’s 19thCentury factory complex in West Orange can attend

the Muckers’ Ball fundraiser on Sat., Oct. 3. It promises atradition of food, drink, music and dancing under the big tent- a location where Thomas Edison and his Muckers hadsome great celebrations. For more info on the Muckers’ Ballcontact the Friends of Thomas Edison Historical ParkFoTENHP www.foedison.org; call 973-736-2916; or [email protected].

Touring the legendary work site of Thomas Edison andthe growing curiosity in Steampunk makes this NationalHistorical Park NHP in West Orange even more uniquelyremarkable today.

Steampunk is a subgenre of devotees that are fascinatedby retro science fiction, technology and artistic designs of the late 19th-century that ignited with the force of steam-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 Centurywas 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 ever

appear 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.

See the Thomas Edison’s Steampunk Collection. Visitthe Thomas Alva Edison Museum – NPS Open Wed.through Sun., 10 a.m. – 4 p.m. Admission fee is $10. Formore details, go to http://www.nps.gov/edis/.
