Many pet owners enjoy taking their

four-legged friends with themwhen running errands. But whenthe weather is especially cold and harsh, petowners may want to leave their pets behindin the warmth and comfort of indoors. Thereare other tactics to keeping pets safe whenthe winter arrives in earnest.Keep pets away from antifreeze

Antifreeze emits a sweet smell, which isoften inviting to dogs and cats. Butantifreeze is lethal in small doses, so it'sbest to keep pets out of your garage and

away from your driveway, where antifreezemay leak. Antifreeze can prove especiallyharmful to pets if it contains ethylene glycolas the main ingredient. There are safer alter-natives, but even the safest antifreezes canbe lethal when consumed in high quantities.Protect their paws

Rock salt on sidewalks can effectivelymelt ice and snow. But rock salt also can bevery irritating to pets' paws. Remember towipe your pet's feet when coming indoorsafter walking on surfaces treated with salt oranother melting agent. This will help toremove excess particles and prevent your

pet from getting ill when the animal licks its

paws clean.Keep pets indoors on cold daysDon't allow pets outside when the tem-

perature falls below 20 F, as pets are at riskof frostbite or hypothermia when exposed tosuch temperatures. Puppies, kittens andshort-haired pets may be more susceptibleto the cold and should be kept in when tem-peratures dip below 40 F.Look out for animals seeking shelter

Outdoor cats and other animals maychoose your car engine as a cozy place tospend the night. A warm engine providesenough heat to ward off the chill. You mayhave a cat under your hood and not know it.Beep the horn before starting the car toscare the animal away. Otherwise the catcould be severely injured when the car isstarted.Do not leave a pet alone in a car

It is unwise to leave a pet unattended ina parked car. It may seem that the interior iswarmer than outside, but the temperature inthe car can drop quickly. Never leave a petlocked in a car, especially in harsh weatherconditions.

OurSugar Bear is a 2 year oldorange tabby with no tail.He was approximately 15lbs when he went missingfrom our home on Sunday10/13/13. Although he isgenerally healthy, he doeshave a seizure disorder thatrequires medication.

We have gone to greatlengths to find himtrackingdogs, pet detectives,posters, flyers, postcards,phone calls and knocking ondoors but he remains elu-sive. This is probablybecause Sugar Bear is verytimid and is only comingout when it is quiet and hewould feel safe.

The Warren County Board of Chosen Freeholdersnamed Edward J. Smith as director for 2014 as theBoard conducted its annual reorganization meetingat the Courthouse in Belvidere.

Freeholder Jason J. Sarnoski, who was re-elected inNovember, took the oath of office for a second three-yearterm, and Freeholder Richard D. Gardner was namedDeputy Director.Also taking the oath of office was Warren County Sheriff

David Gallant, who was re-elected in November.State Sen. Michael Doherty (R-23rd District) adminis-

tered the oath to Sarnoski and Smith, while Superior CourtJudge John Kingfield swore in Gallant officially on January

2 and ceremonially during the freeholder board meeting.In front of a crowd of well-wishers that included feder-al, state, county and local officials, as well as family andfriends, the freeholder board got right to business, withSmith vowing to file suit next week against the New Jersey

Smith Named Director as Freeholder Board Reorganizes

Administrative Office of the Courts (AOC) over disputedrenovations to the Courthouse.

We will bring an end to the Courtroom #2 fiasco,Smith said, referring to a dispute over the courtroom creat-ed during a $5.8 million renovation project that openednearly two years ago, but has gone unused for its intendedpurpose of conducting criminal trials. Although the Countyworked closely with court officials on the renovation plans,which were approved by the AOC, a judge later declaredthat Courtroom #2 was unsuitable because a support col-umn restricted a defendants ability to see all members of the jury, and vice versa. Despite its involvement in the proj-ect, Smith said the Judicial Branch suddenly denied anyresponsibility.

Both Gardner and Sarnoski backed Smith on the issue.Gardner called it unconscionable that the Court systemhas looked to the County to completely fund more renova-tions, when court officials were involved in the plans thathave since been criticized.

I for one, along with my colleagues, will not allowthese individuals to shake down the county taxpayer formore money for mistakes they made, and I will add,

Warren County Freeholder Edward J. Smith is sworn in as free-holder board director for 2014 by State Sen. Michael Doherty,while his wife, Eileen, and their granddaughter, Lily Brunell, 7,hold a family Bible.

unquestionably, they made, Gardnerremarked.

Sarnoski during his remarks noted thefreeholders tried to resolve the Courtroom#2 issue in a diplomatic and fair mannerbut noted the courts were a big part of theproblem that occurred. The AdministrativeOffice of the Courts refuses to take respon-sibility for their own decisions, and hastried to put the burden of their mistakesentirely on the taxpayers of Warren County,and we will not let that happen, Sarnoskisaid.

Smith also pointed to accomplishmentsof his first year on the board, including thefreeholders passing the states first policyrequiring a public vote on any county bond-ing; passage of a Delaware River FloodingResolution that Hunterdon and Mercercounties have now adopted; privatization of laundry, housekeeping and food services atWarren Haven for a projected $1.4 million

in annual savings; and creation of a WarrenHaven Task Force that investigated fundingdilemmas facing the county-run nursinghome. The Task Force report will be readyfor public review later this month, he said,and a public hearing will be held inFebruary.

Looking ahead to this year, Smith said hehopes to encourage the development andimplementation of shared service programs,such as the health inspection services thatwill be offered to municipalities at afford-able rates as of April 1.

Referring to Warren County TechnicalSchool and the Warren County SpecialServices School District, Smith noted, Iwill continue to advocate for expandeddevelopment of our county educational pro-grams to provide valuable services to thelocal school boards in our county, at coststhat will help to control local school taxlevies.

Smith said he will be proposing a fee tobe levied by the County on out-of-countygarbage or ash that is deposited at the land-fill in White Township, noting this proposedrevenue source will not be paid by WarrenCounty residents, and can help to addresssome of the financial challenges the Countyfaces.

Smith added, I believe economic

growth can come to Warren County, and Iwill continue to advocate for creation of aHighlands Commercial Corridor Zonealong our major roads and railroads to nur-ture that growth. I believe we can consoli-date our tourist-oriented assets, both publicand private, into to a marketable theme thatwill attract visitors and further stimulate oureconomy.

Candy gets eaten and flowers will die. But a love song inones ears will linger in ones heart and carry on.

The Morris Music Men- Morris Countys premier barbershopharmony chorus- will be singing quartets in celebration of Valentines Day. Each February the non-profit group offersSinging Valentines as a way to raise funds.

On Thursday, Feb. 13, and Friday, Feb, 15, men from thechorus will be singing love songs at any location throughoutMorris County. For $50, a quartet of men decked out in tuxe-dos will serenade sweethearts, office staffers or clients atwork, home, restaurants, or just about anywhere in beautifulfour-part harmony. The package includes a beautiful long-

stemmed red rose and a special Valentines Day card.Singing Valentines are a unique way to say I care! asstated in a press release. Customers will not only be sendinglove through song but will be helping to support the old bar-bershop style of singing.

This is one of our major fundraisers, says Terry Scullinof Morristown, president of The Morris Music Men. All pro-ceeds are allocated to the non-profit organization to pay forexpenses such as hall rental and director fees.

Its a style of singing that we are trying to preserve andperpetuate, says Scullin, 73. Trying to keep that sound aliveis important to all of us. Songs are delivered in four-part har-mony- tenor, lead, baritone and base- acapella, barbershop

style.The Morris Music Men chorus and its affiliated quartetsare part of the international 30,000-member BarbershopHarmony Society. About 20 men throughout Morris Countymeet weekly to rehearse. Most of the men are 60 years old orolder; the youngest member is a recent college graduate.

For the Valentines fundraiser, about 12 of the men fromthe group will be split up into quartets and travel throughoutthe county to deliver Singing Valentines. Each group will besinging two simple love songs: Let Me Call You Sweetheartand Heart of My Heart.

Those songs were selected because every barber-shopperin the world knows those songs, Scullin says.

Last year, Scullin recalls traveling more than 200 miles tosing quartets for the Valentines fundraiser. As a group, therewere 35 requests for Singing Valentines, of which Scullin per-formed 16 of them.

We can be out from 9 a.m. to 9 p.m., says Scullin, whohas been singing Valentines with the group since 2005. It is ahuge amount of fun doing this, and it raises money to keepthe chorus going.

Its a little scary at first, says Scullin, singing with threedifferent guys. But once he hears the applause and sees theexpression on his customers face,, his time singing is worthevery song.

One of his Valentine gigs that stole his heart was a 97-yearold woman who bought a singing Valentine for her 92-yearold companion. Each lost their spouse and met each other at a

Capture Your Valentine With Love Songs By Quartet Singerssenior exercise class, describes Scullin. While his quartet wassinging to them, the companions just held each others handand looked at each other.

All of this is so much fun, says Scullin, who sings tenor.Its a great, great fun thing to do. Ive always loved music but

never been able to play anything. Im a klutz when it came toplaying piano or guitar. But using vocals is different. Its justsuch a joy to sing; to sing in front of others and get applause,even learning the music. Its just a great deal of fun. You arewith a bunch of wonderful people sharing a hobby.

The Morris Music Men is currently one of the finalists inthe Morristowns Got Talent Contest. It is one of 16 finalistsout of 70 acts that will be performing at the Mayo PerformingArts Center in late February.

Other performances have been at local assisted livingplaces, The Cliffs in East Orange, Morris View NursingHome. In August, the group gets together with other chorusgroups and sings at the Somerset Patriots Baseball Game.

Another big fundraiser hosted by Morris Music Men is anannual concert in October at Drew University Concert Hall.

Scullin has been singing in the group since 2002, when heretired as a copy writer for BBDO Advertising agency in NewYork. His participation stems from the love of singing.

There are very few of us that are professional singers,says Scullin. I sing in the shower and sing along with theradio. Other members of the chorus have sung in their churchchoirs or in high school or college.

We are all amateurs but we all enjoy singing and acapel-

la harmony, he says. Most of the members cant even readmusic, says Scullin, so they learn through tapes and CDs withwords and listening rather than reading music.

Scullin has also branched off and performs in a separateorganized quartet, The Four Old Parts, which is open forbookings to sing at birthday parties, senior or library events.Call 973-540-1648to inquire.

To reserve a Singing Valentine or for more information,call 973-625-2842; or email svdavid.sipple @gmail.com.Deadline to order is Tuesday, Feb. 11, at 9 p.m.

The chorus meets Tuesday evenings at Gloria DeiLutheran Church in Chatham and always welcomes newsingers. No experience necessary; free singing lessons areprovided. Learn more atwww.morrismusicmen.org.

Funding has been made possible in part from the ArtsCouncil of the Morris Area through the New Jersey StateCouncil on the Arts/Department of State, a Partner Agency of the National Endowment for the Arts.

On February 1st, from 10am to 4pm,the word on eveyones lips in theMeeting Hall in Olde LayfayetteVillage will be lace. It is the 29th annualLace Day, presented by the Lost Art Lacers of North Jersey. For many people, lace is some-thing that you buy from the store, readymade,and add to items such as handkerchiefs, wed-ding gowns, and valentines to give them aspecial look. However, the lacers are keepingalive the tradition of making handmade lace.And, through Lace Day demonstrations, exhi-bitions, try me tables and workshops, theywill be sharing that tradition with childrenand adults.( Workshops will be held onFebruary 2nd as well as the 1st. Pre-registra-tion is needed for all workshops. See the links

at http://www.lostartlacers.org/events.htmfor details.) Lace making supplies may alsobe purchased at the event. The event is opento the public. Olde Lafayette village is locat-ed at the intersections of Routes 15 and 94 inLafayette.

There are many varieties of lace and manyuses for it as will be seen on Lace Day,through the work and efforts of members of the Lost Art Lacers of North Jersey.

Dotty Wolfe, of Stanhope, has createdpieces of jewelry and embellished collarswith her lace. Wolfe got into lacemaking atthe encouragement of a neighbor who was alacemaker and wanted to keep the tradition

alive. Wolfe has done that and quite well.She has won many ribbons at the New JerseyState Fair for her work. Much of what shedoes is tatting. Tatting is a lace made by loop-ing and knotting thread on a small hand shut-tle.

A lacemaker for about 35 years, Lee Dalyof Newton will be a jack-of-all trades on LaceDay, managing the event, teaching and demo-ing. Winner of many ribbons at the SussexCounty Farm & Horse Show including theMiriam Forbes Award for Excellence inLacemaking( twice), Daly will be showingher original design of a tulip and demonstrat-ing bobbin lace and needle lace.

Bobbin lace, also called pillow lace, isworked with bobbins which are wound withthread. Pairs of bobbins make stitches on a

pattern called a pricking and pins are insertedinto the pricking to hold the stitch until thelacemaker gets further along. The pins arethen pulled out and the design stays. Bobbinlace had also been called bone lace becausethe bobbins used to be made from bone,explained lacer Pat Morris of Franklin.

Also, exhibiting bobbin lace will be ClaraEastby of Franklin and Mary McGuinness of Denville. A ribbon winner at past state fairs,Eastby will be showing a Tonder bobbin lacebookmark and Schneeberger silhouettes of German Smokers. McGuinness will beexhibiting some pieces and demonstrating aTorchon bobbin lace pattern. She has won

ribbons at the New Jersey State Fair for thelast two years and the Miriam Forbes Awardfor Excellence in Lacemaking in 2008 andagain in 2013

For those who want to try at a hand at it,workshops will be available for children andadults to be introduced to the art of lace mak-ing. In addition to Lee, others who will beteaching include Morris and Barbara Saltern.Saltern, from Nazareth, Pennsylvania, whowill be teaching an adult beginners class, hasbeen making lace for almost 20 years andreceived the best of show award a number of years ago at the Blue Valley Fair and wonthird place twice at the InternationalOrganization of Lace, Inc. convention,

Morris will be teaching a childrens work-shop (choice of making a bracelet or book-

mark) and an adult class.Flanders, Schneeburger, and Tonder maysounds like town names, but they are alsonames of types of bobbin lace. Morris will beteaching all of them at the adult class.

All three originated in the same geo-graphic area. Flanders is a beautiful designthat looks like wicker caning and uses eightpair of bobbins to form the stitch.Schneeburger comes from a German area andis a tape lace that uses six to ten pair of bob-bins. Tonder is a Danish point ground lacewhich uses very fine thread. Tonder, an oldtown in the western part of Denmark, hadbeen a seaport on the North Sea, shared

Morris, whos been a lacer for 35 years.Like many of the lacers, Morris gets more

out of her craft than a pretty piece of lace.I love making lace. It is so relaxing and I

love demonstrating lace, the wonder andamazement in the eyes of the visitors[on LaceDay] is rewarding she said.

An original lace tulip design by Lee Daly of Newton will be one of the pieces on display at Lace Day.

T oday there is lively debate regarding the legalizationof marijuana thats generated from the respectedauthorities of our time. Thomas Edison could notescape weighing in with his own opinion on the biggestsocial debate of his day. In the final decades of Edisons lifethe Federal Government ushered in regulations prohibitingalcoholic beverages. It was called the Prohibition - anationwide ban on the sale, production, importation, andtransportation of alcoholic beverages that remained in placefrom 1920 to 1933. Edison wrote his own essay on thisissue in 1920. Besides being a great mechanical inventor,he had a passionate knowledge in the science of chemistry.Edisons brief essay on legislating restrictions on alcoholwas one that combined both a logical chemistry approachand also the consideration of alcohol in societys social cus-toms. This is the short essay of his thoughts on the issuethat has become one of the scanned document artifactsarchived and cataloged by the Thomas Edison PapersProject at Rutgers University: I do not believe that it ispractical or even desirable to have absolute prohibition. Ithink beer should be allowed but limited to 2 per cent of alcohol + all strong liquor of all kind prohibited All theevil effects which society is trying to eliminate by passingprohibition laws would be eradicated for the reason that thehuman stomach is limited in size and capacity + this limitsthe effects of drink + still permits all to be sociable + carryout customs which have been in vogue for centuries.

Thomas Edisons two percent alcohol reasoning was thatthe stomach could not hold enough beer alcohol to make a

person grossly impaired but was enough alcohol to makeone happy. It was a theory he could prove from past workexperience. Edisons first laboratory in 1876 at MenloPark, NJ included a pipe organ. It was located in the backof his lab along with his 2,500 bottles of chemicals thatwere lined up on the back wall. After a 16 hour work day,his sleep deficient work team gathered by the pipe organfor afterhours singing and beer drinking in which Edisonhimself would sit down at the pipe organ and join in on thesing along during the midnight hour. Edisons Menlo Parkbeer drinking sing-along crew helped produce an incrediblevariety of inventions and improvements to existing inven-tions.

The inventions from Menlo Park were: A quadruplextelegraph system; the phonograph; a telephone transmitter;the electric pen and the electric light bulb. So, Edison mayhave felt that reasonable quantities of beer relieved tensionthat in turn helped achieve high productivity at his MenloPark lab. Perhaps, another influence in the defense of beerdrinking was that Edisons favorite music was polkas. If Edison was alive today, it would be interesting to see whatmoderate and logical argument he would make on relaxingfederal laws on marijuana. Edison died in 1931 before theEighteenth Amendment on Prohibition ended with the rati-fication of the Twenty-first Amendment to repeal it onDecember 5, 1933.

Please visit Thomas Edisons West Orange lab withoutthe pipe organ. Visit the Thomas Alva Edison Museum -NPS - Open Wednesday through Sunday. Hours are10:00am - 4:00pm Fee is $7.00 - 211 Main Street West

They say that pictures tell a story. The images in CarolBarrys banners certainly do that. However, unlike thetraditional types of banners which are fabric, these arepaintings. Barry, a Byram resident and a retired Mt. OliveTownship art teacher, has created works which recall storiesfrom the Bible as well as works which challenge people tothink about the world and faith. Barry will be showing andtalking about her works at a fundraising dinner on February1st at 5pm at Stanhope United Methodist Church at #2 Route183 Main Street in Netcong. Tickets are $5 per person andcan be obtained through program coordinator Sharon

Rosequist at 973-527-4927 or the church office at 973-347-0247. Funds raised will benefit the church.The banners that Carol Barry paints are a beautiful pic-

torial rendition of the Bible. They are absolutely beautiful,and each one is very unique. Each time you look at them,you notice something that you did not see before, and theyare very thought- provoking. She is a very talented artist,said Rosequist, a Netcong resident.

Barry has been painting banners for about 20 years. Shewas inspired by the artwork shed seen in small churchesand cathedrals around the world. She saw the inspirationthat artwork can give others and wanted to do something forher church, the First Presbyterian Church of Stanhope. Whatresulted was a series of banners done on a type and size of paper that makes it easily portable. Encouraged by others,she has started to show her work at other churches.

Barry will be showing two of her most recent works atthe fundraising dinner: What Gifts Are in Your Hands?and a pictorial walk through the Old and New Testament.

[What Gifts Are In Your Hands] leads to a discussionabout all the gifts God gives to each one of us, said Barry.[The one depicting] a walk through the old and new testa-ments - starts with the trinity taking part in creation. Itincludes some of the major stories that I also have in twoother paintings, but also highlights many other events. It

ends with the New Jerusalem," shared Barry.

Local Artist to Show Works at Church Fundraiser

During the February 1st art program, Byram artist Carol Barrywill share the inspiration behind her "gifts" work.

I set the painting up, discuss the inspiration for thetheme and the design, and then go through the images. Iusually get questions and comments during and afterwards.I love sharing my work and especially enjoy their reactions.I have not aggressively sought places to go, but God is open-ing doors. I rather leave it to Him, Barry said.

A question Carol Barry frequent hears is, how long didit take you to do that? Looking at Barrys artwork, it is notsurprising that people ask, though the answer may be moresurprising.

The thought process takes the most time, said Barry.She notes that it may take up to a year for an idea to becomefully formed in her mind, though the actual painting takes farless time. Barry doesnt work from sketches; the paintings

themselves form concretely in her mind.While enjoying Barrys works and the dinner, those

attending will also be helping the Stanhope UnitedMethodist Church. The funds raised will go to the generalaccount of the church to help it with its everyday operatingexpenses. However, the funds are not the only benefit.

The Rev. Tom Kinter, pastor of the church, shared, Afundraiser like this event helps the church in a couple of ways beyond just raising funds. It is a time of fellowship andinvitation for the community and church to come together.So, we always have good food at church events. We havetime to just to be with people. [Its] a great time for the com-munity to join the church in a relaxed setting and to get toknow one another.
