It got cold late at night on Sat., Nov. 14,but that didn’t deter a troop of Boy Scoutsand eight members of the Youth Group

from Stanley Congregational Church fromsleeping in tents and cardboard boxes on thechurch lawn.

The teens were learning first-hand what itactually means to be homeless, Rev. JocelynEmerson, interim pastor of the church said.

“People come through town and look forhelp from the churches,” she said, eventhough Chatham is one of the most affluenttowns in Morris County.

The church devoted the entire weekend tohelping the needy and raising awareness,Emerson said. Besides the tent city, it pre-sented a series of activities throughout theweekend, called “Stanley ACTS: Hunger.They chose the weekend because it was thebeginning of National Hunger and Homeless-ness Awareness Week, she said. There areresidents of Chatham who utilize foodpantries, she added.

Besides cold teenagers, the weekend net-

ted many donations.A Saturday night concert drew about 50

people who brought hygiene products andnon-perishable food items. The concert waspresented by the three adult rock and rollclasses sponsored by the Chatham AdultSchool and held in the church.

“Whenever we have a meeting when theyhave class the church is really rocking,”Emerson said. She said the musicians werevery good and the audience brought enoughfood to fill the altar. The food and four bagsof personal hygiene products were donatedto the Interfaith Food Pantry of MorrisCounty. Free will donations also netted $400for Family Promise.

Also on Sunday, participants decoratedlunch bags for Bridges Outreach, Inc., a non-profit organization based in nearby Summitthat takes deliveries of food, clothing andother necessities to people in need in NewYork City, Newark and Irvington. Anotherproject joining the church with Bridges willoccur in the near future when members of thechurch will make and deliver sandwiches

Donations made at a concert Saturday, Nov. 14, fill the altar at Stanley Congregational Church.

Stanley Congregational Church Sets Up Tent CityTo Welcome Homeless Awareness

through Bridges.The church participates with Family

Promise housing the homeless five weekendseach year. On Sunday, participants wroteblessings and attached them to backpacks.Family Promise will hand those out aroundMorris County. Bags of food stocked byparishioners and visitors on Sunday includeda blessing and a list of resources for the

needy. Participants took those bags home fordistribution when the need arises.Sunday wasn’t all work. Café Beethoven

provided a light lunch for visitors to StanleyACTS: Hunger. Another sponsor of the eventwas Susan Lenz LLC, a business consultingfirm.

The Chatham Community Players pre-sented “Ping!” a one-woman, one-act showwritten by New Jersey Playwright Mary JaneWalsh. Emerson explained the play is told in

the voice of a woman whose child is chroni-cally homeless.

“When we look at the homeless, we don’tusually think about the family,” Emersonsaid, adding, “This is a moving descriptionof the effect on the whole family, the wholecommunity.”

A church in the United Church of Christtradition, Stanley Congregational has a com-

mitment to raising awareness of social andpolitical issues. It is the first church in theChathams that is a GreenFaith congregation,meaning the church practices environmentalstewardship and has taken steps to be a greencommunity. Many congregants also work toreduce their carbon footprint.

The church also “welcomes and affirmsall people,” Emerson said. She has preachedon LGBT rights and, recently, on the BlackLives Matter movement.

Holidays and winter break are won-derful opportunities to visit withfamily and friends, or take time off

for vacation. Here are some safety travel tipsfor this holiday season.

Many college students’ return home; fam-ilies and friends travel both long and shortdistances to be together and give thanks. Itis estimated that more than 26 million peoplewill be traveling on airplanes alone. Besidespacking suitcases with clothes and dailymedications, remember to also pack somepatience.

With cold winter weather coming, and re-cent reports in northern states already havingexperienced accumulations of snow on theground, it is best to prepare. If the plan is totravel by car, make sure to be ready for theelements. To begin preparing, do a check listof items for the car or have a trusted me-chanic perform a routine maintenance check.

Make sure tires, car battery, and wind-shield wipers are all in good working order;there is enough antifreeze, window washerfluid and gas in the vehicle; the car is up todate with its routine maintenance tasks likeoil changes and that the car spare tire has notgone flat over time.

Other important items to have and checkoff the holiday and winter travel safety checklist include; at least one flash light with extranew batteries, blankets, protein bars, bottlesof water, flares, and an emergency kit intrunk stocked with up-to-date gear in case of an unexpected event. Diabetics should keepextra chewable sugar tabs in the car in caseof a low blood sugar episode during a longcar ride. Also, keep a shovel and sand or

kitty litter for traction to battle icy condi-tions.Prior to leaving the house, always make

sure the cell phone is fully charged and if possible pack chargers. Try to check theweather service to see what type of weatheris expected in the destination traveling to.Don’t forget to pack extra medication. If stuck or lost, remain in the car; it is the bestshelter and more often than not the easiestway to be found. Keep a red piece of clothto tie on the outside; this can help respondersfind those who need help. If stuck in the carfor a long period of time, start it every hourfor 10 minutes to heat up the car andrecharge cell phones. Avoid draining the carbattery by idling the engine for too long es-pecially if the windows are up.

Make sure enough sleep is had the nightbefore. Do things ahead of time to avoidrushing around the morning of your trip. If traveling with younger children, check thattheir car seats are in properly. Avoid distrac-tions like cellphones, eating or smokingwhile driving the car. Keep in mind, mostdistractions are caused by passengers so letthem know the game plan ahead of time andbring games and extra snacks for the ride.Plan ahead where and when to stop for gasor a stretch. Make sure all stops are at a safelocation. Try to avoid stopping on theshoulder of a highway if possible. If theplan is to stay over at a hotel, confirm thereservation prior to leaving. Tell a trustedfriend all travel plans and check in withthem periodically especially if it’s a longtrip. Always obey the speed limits and rulesof the road for best safety. Lastly, for AAAmembers, keep the card or place in glovecompartment. Have a happy and healthyHoliday season and a safe time driving this

winter.The information has been provided by theLivingston Health Department.

Holiday And Winter TipsUnwrapped For Safe Travel

J anuary was not always the first monthof the year. Ea rlier calendars, s uch asthe Jul ian calendar use d by the Ro-

W hen people take inventory of theirspending habits, many come tothe conclusion that they need to

scale back. Upon making that realization,many people immediately assume they needto give up certain luxuries. However, spend-ing less on nonessential items may free upfunds for more enjoyable activities, such asdining out and travel. Being frugal doesn’tmean you have to be a minimalist, and it’seasier than you might think. Explore theserelatively easy methods to tame spending.

• Use cash as much as possible. Payingwith cash can create an emotional feeling of loss and taps into your five senses. Takingcash from your wallet and handing it overto cashiers could slow down your subcon-scious spending, which is less likely to hap-pen if you always swipe a credit or debitcard.

• Keep a spending log. Jot down yourspending habits on a piece of paper or usehome budgeting software to track whereyou tend to spend the most. This gives youan accurate and fluid method to examineyour spending.

• Spend less on shopping sprees. Somepeople use shopping as an emotional releaseor a method to relieve stress. If you like

shopping but want to cut back on yourspending, shop in less expensive stores,such as consignment or dollar stores. Thisfeeds your desire to shop without breakingthe bank.

• Eliminate one monthly bill. Find a wayto cut out one monthly expense. If you’renot using that gym membership, cancel it. If you can’t find something to eliminate, finda way to cut back. Maybe you can scaleback your mobile phone service plan.Downgrade your cable television packageto one that’s more affordable.

• Do things yourself. Consider the serv-ices you pay others to do that you may beable to do yourself. If you’re handy with apaintbrush, paint your home interior. Haveeveryone pitch in to clean the house andscale back on housekeeping services. Cookyour own meals and rely less on takeout.

• Transfer savings automatically. Trans-fer a portion of your paycheck directly intoa savings account. Set up automated trans-fers so the money never appears in the ac-count linked to your debit card.

• Pay bills on time. Do not waste moneyon late fees and penalties. Use automatic billpay so you don’t miss any payments andwaste money on fees.

Simple Ways To Spend LessT he dawn of a new year is not only agreat time to look ahead and makeplans for the future, but it’s also a

great time to reflect on the previous 12months. The following are some notableevents from 2015.

• Just seven days into the new year, a ter-rorist attack on the French satirical news-paper Charlie Hebdo shocks the world.Twelve people, including several cartoon-

ists and two police officers, are killed,while five others suffer critical injuries. Theattacks are later linked to the terrorist or-ganization Al Qaeda, which reportedly or-dered the attacks in retaliation for thepublication’s caricatures of the ProphetMuhammad.

• United States President Barack Obamaand Cuban President Raul Castro meet inearly April, marking the first time in morethan half a century the two countries’ lead-ers met face-to-face. Less than two months

later, the United States removes Cuba fromits list of state sponsors of terrorism, mov-ing one significant step closer to restoringfull diplomatic relations between the twocountries.

• Ireland becomes the first country to le-

galize same-sex marriage in a national ref-erendum on May 22. Roughly 62 percent of voters approve changing the country’s con-stitution to allow same-sex marriage, a votethat comes 22 years after the Irish govern-ment decriminalized homosexuality.

• Just one day after American Independ-ence Day, the United States Women’s Na-tional Team wins the Women’s World Cupin Vancouver, British Columbia. The game

is a rout, as American Carli Lloyd scores ahat trick in the first three minutes of thegame en route to leading her team to a 5-2victory over Japan. Lloyd’s hat trick wasthe first such feat in Women’s World CupFinal history.

• Alexis Tsipras wins a snap election onSeptember 20 to once again become PrimeMinister of Greece. The elections comeroughly one month after Tsipras announceshis resignation as a result of intraparty de-fections that have cost him his majority in

the Greek parliament.• The Chicago Cubs clinch a postseason

series at Wrigley Field for the first timeever when they defeat the St. Louis Cardi-nals 6-4 to win one of two National LeagueDivision Series.

W ith a new year comes change, like a differentoffice for New View Media Group LLC.

But for Joe Nicastro and Mary Lalama of Flanders,co-owners with Darwin Oordt of Cherry Hill, they returnto the office where the company first started a dozenyears ago. Coming home is a wonderful feeling for them,not only to return to the original office, but in the literalsense that it is located where they dwell in Mt. OliveTownship.

On Mon., Nov. 16, New View Media Group movedfrom its East Hanover office to Lakeview Plaza at 1 OldWolfe Rd, suite 205, in Budd Lake. The company hadbeen in East Hanover since April when it had mergedwith the Marketeer, which had been headquartered there

for for about 15 years after being in Livingston since 1978.What a nice homecoming it has been for Nicastro and

Lalama.“The lease was up and being from Mt. Olive and a

councilman I wanted to bring my business to my home-town,” says Nicastro. “From a personal view it is closeto home for me and Mary and our employees that comein on a daily basis. I am very happy to be back in Mt.Olive close to home.”

While the current location is just temporary, Nicas-

tro’s plan is to purchase a different building in towneventually.

“We are in the process of purchasing a building andneeded a temporary place,” says Nicastro. “The address

we are at now is the same address that we moved to whenwe started the papers in 2004. We had started the Mt.Olive Weekly back then and found that location. It wasavailable once again.”

Nicastro’s plan is “we are looking at a small buildingalong Route 46 that we feel would be a perfect home andgive great exposure to the business.”

For New View Media Group, 2015 has been a tremen-dous year of growth.

With a current circulation of about 159,000 homesfrom as far west as Hackettstown to as far east as CedarGrove, New View Media Group has grown from eight

monthly papers this time last year and plans to holdsteady with 15 papers moving into 2016.

On April 1, they had formed a partnership with Oordt,owner of the Marketeer, a free shopper type supplement.They changed their name from MJ (My Jersey) Media toNew View Media with “The idea that we have a newview on media,” says Nicastro.

All community news, from schools to government,people, organizations, places of worship, libraries, non-profit organizations, volunteer services, children’s

groups, scouts, fundraisers and more are featured in thefree monthly papers. The company’s philosophy is toshowcase all the good, positive news that surrounds itsreaders.

New View Media Group’s publications, moving for-ward, include Mt. Olive News, Hackettstown News,Roxbury News, Randolph News, Black River News,Morristown News, Mendham News, Madison News,Chatham News, Livingston News, Hanover News, Cald-well News, Verona/Cedar Grove News, Millburn/ShortHills News and East Hanover/Florham Park News.

As far as continued growth, Nicastro says “We are inthe middle of reevaluating the papers to see where andwhen other expansions would make sense.”

Offering free publications to all residences and busi-nesses, the company depends on paid advertising. Con-

tact Nicastro at 800-691-7549 or [email protected] View Media Group also invites the community

to help share any positive news with its neighbors bysending all story ideas and press releases [email protected].

By Michele Guttenberger

The hallmark years of Thomas Edison’s life were

at the center of the Dicken’s Victorian era – thereign of Queen Vitoria (1837 – 1901). CharlesDickens published A Christmas Carol four years beforeThomas Edison was born. Charles Dickens had becomethe influentially renowned author of his time who tappedinto the social conscious of the Victorian age that mar-veled over the wonder of modern inventions and believedin mindfulness to the plight of the poor. The inventionsof Thomas Edison would become significant milestonesin the timeline of the Victorian era. And every well-readAmerican home would also have the works of Britain’sCharles Dickens in their own family library. Such wastrue of the Edison home. The style and fashion of the Vic-torian era is paralleled to the early life of Thomas Edisonand his family.

Thomas Edison made two important real estate pur-chases in West Orange in the last decades of the 19thCentury. It was in West Orange where he developed hisown plans to build a state of the art factory and researchlaboratory and just a mile away he acquired the Glen-

mont - a gorgeous fully furnished Queen Anne style Vic-torian mansion in the gated community of Llewellyn

Park. Edison, a 39 year old widower and father of threeyoung children married Mina Miller in 1886. Glenmontwas the wedding gift to his 19 year old bride. Both Glen-mont and Edison’s factory lab became legendary earlymodern American landmarks and on Sept. 5, 1963 theNational Park Service combined Edison's home and lab-oratory into a single national park called Edison NationalHistoric Site.

Many groups and organizations are dedicated to pre-serving the history of Thomas Edison but, the membersof Thomas Edison NHP, FoTENHP, has a unique passionthat dedicates their volunteer efforts in preserving thephysical structure, grounds and fixtures of these twolandmark locations. It is this group that has raised fundsto repair the stained glass window at Glenmont, been in-volved in the spring plantings at the estate grounds andparticipated in making the Glenmont historically decora-tive for Christmas Holiday visitors.

This community of friends of Thomas Edison hasbeen fundraising for these restoration projects since

1954. They have fostered the spirit of this era which in-cludes donning on their best Victorian attire for these fes-

tive events. The goal this year is to raise funds for thefactory site. Their focus is on making the heavy machineshop operational again. The main line shaft is in need of significant repair. For those desiring to help preservethese landmarks of NJ’s awe-inspiring legacies, consider

joining FoTEN HP or make a contribution online atwww.foedison.org. FoTENHP is a non-profit organiza-tion and contributions are tax deductible.

Visit the Victorian Glenmont bedecked for the Christ-mas Holiday that revisits Edison family’s Christmas cel-ebrations. Go to the visitor center at the LaboratoryComplex, 211 Main Street, to get a vehicle pass for Glen-mont. Tickets for house tour are on a limited first-comefirst-served basis from the Laboratory Visitor Centerstarting at 10 a.m. on Fri., Sat. and Sun. A ticketed touris the process to enter the house.

Visit the Thomas Alva Edison Museum, Wed. throughSun., 10 a.m. – 4 p.m. Admission is $10. Visithttp://www.nps.gov/edis for more details.
