Proverbs 3:5

By Kate Halse

Early in September,

Morris County resi-

dents were treatedto a display of vintage

World War II planes at the

Morristown Municipal

Airport. The event, which

began on September 2, ran

through Friday, September

6.

The display was part of

The Collings Foundation

Wings of Freedom Tour,

which featured the World

War II Vintage Boeing B-17 Flying Fortress, the

Consolidated B-24

Liberator, and a North

American P-51 Mustang.

Airplane enthusiasts

and history buffs had an

opportunity to visit the dis-

play, explore the exhibits,

and learn more about the

historic aircraft and their

roles in history. The

Vintage Boeing B-17Flying Fortress is just one

of eight planes of its kind

throughout the country that

are in flying condition.

Both the B-24 Liberator

and the North American P-

51 Mustang are the only

remaining planes of their

kind in the world that are

flying.

The event was open to

adults and children alike,

Wings of Freedom Tour Makes Stop in Morristown

all of whom were able to

get an up-close viewing of

the aircraft, as well as tours

through the inside of each

plane. World War II veter-

ans were able to take a tour

of the airplanes for free.

Throughout the event,visitors were given the

chance to take a 30-minute

flight aboard these historic

airplanes. Flights were

available on either the B-

17 or B-24 and were $425

per person. Visitors who

wanted to take a ride on the

P-51 Fighter paid $2,200

for a half hour or $3,200

for a full hour. The 30-

minute flights are typically

given before and after the

ground tours.

Ground tours were

available for visitors for

the majority of the day on

September 5 and for half

the day on September 6.

The goal of the CollingsFoundation is to help

organize and support

events that demonstrate a

living history so that citi-

zens can learn more about

history through direct par-

ticipation. Originally, the

group focused on events

that were related to trans-

portation, such as antique

car rides, hill climbs, and

carriage and sleigh rides.

However, the focus was

expanded to include avia-

tion in the 1980s. Through

this expansion, the founda-

tion was able to include

events such as air shows,

historical reunions,

Vietnam Memorial Flights,and the Wings of Freedom

Tour.

In the 20 years that it

has been focused on avia-

tion, the foundation has

amassed an impressive col-

lection of historic aircraft.

Many of these airplanes

have been recovered and

carefully restored. The

majority of these airplanes

By Kate Halse

Nearly one year has passed since the

historic Hurricane Sandy hit New

Jersey and the surrounding areas.

Although flooding was expected to be the

primary issue, wind damage is what hit the

area the hardest. Since then, towns have con-

tinued to clean up damaged areas and try to

recoup financial losses from the storm.

Many New Jersey residents were unpre-

pared for the wrath of the storm, which came

just a year after a freak Noreaster storm

piled as much as 19 inches of snow onto

some parts of the state. However, officials

agreed that the damage from Hurricane

Sandy was more devastating overall.

Although trees were cleared and wires

were replaced long ago, some Morristownresidents are still working to recover damage

that was done to their homes and properties,

and the town is trying to recover financially.

Fortunately, aid from the government has

begun to trickle in.

In late August of this year, the state Office

of Emergency Management (OEM) noted

that Morristown had received a portion of the

$51 billion package that was approved by

congress. The state office has been helping to

distribute Federal Emergency Management

Agency (FEMA) funding for those aroundthe state who were affected by the storm.

The majority of the money that has been

distributed will be used towards reimburse-

ment for debris removal and various safety

measures, as noted by the OEM accounting

of public assistance payments. Additional

OEM figures will be used to cover paymentsto municipalities along with a variety of pub-

lic entities. Some private companies may

also be eligible beginning on July 30.

Officials from the OEM noted that the

numbers were actual dollars that had been

received by municipalities to help cover

emergency costs. These numbers were not

the result of requests that had been made or

of applications that were still in the works.

Money has been dispersed to affected

businesses and residents in Morristown. In

total, the town has received at least $47,000in aid and the Morris Museum has received

nearly $8,000.

Aside from Morristown, other towns

throughout the state have finally begun to

receive assistance as well. One such town is

Allendale, which was notified in the middle

of August that it would be receiving reim-

bursements and aid. Some of the reimburse-

ments include overtime costs, restoration

fees, and cleanup efforts.

The town also had a lucky break when

Councilwoman Liz White received news thatthe town would be reimbursed for up to 90

Morristown Receives Long-awaited FEMA Aidpercent of its expenses, rather than the usual

75 percent. White noted that the town has

already received around $80,000 in aid from

FEMA, with more money on the way. When

asked just how much money the town was

expending, White responded by saying that

they could receive up to $150,000 in reim-

bursement costs.

New Brunswick was also part of the $51

million package in aid for towns that were

affected by the hurricane. As with many

towns, most of New Brunswicks own funds

went towards cleanup efforts. In turn, the

majority of municipalities disbursements

have helped to offset the costs of debris

removal. As of July 30, 2013, New

Brunswick has received numerous payments.

Over $70,000 has gone to the Board of

Education, while nearly $41,000 has been

distributed to the New Brunswick Parking

Authority.

A full report of payments that have been

received in towns throughout New Jersey

Last years Morristown Art Walk was so

successful, with over 300 people

browsing and conversing with more

than 50 artists showcasing their work, that

artist and organizer Julie Friedman of

ArtSpace Studio and event partner MorrisArts have decided to make it an annual hap-

pening. If you missed the excitement last

year, dont worry you can catch it this year on

Sunday, October 6th from noon to 5:00pm.

This family friendly event has grown to

include over 70 artists at 10 different venues

from one end of South Street to the other and

3 venues on Maple Avenue in Morristown.

Friedmans ArtSpace Studio, located at 14

Elm Street in Morristown, will be the official

headquarters for the Morristown Art Walk.

ArtSpace studio is a gathering place for artiststo share creative energy and have a place to

produce their work. Throughout the year they

offer classes, workshops, networking groups

and studio rental space to artists.

Friedman, an inspiring pastel artist and art

teacher, is thrilled that the event grew so

much in just one year, The message is loud

and clear, Morristowns got the good art vibe:

people want to see more local art events and

artists want to share their passions with the

public. Her vision was to organize an event

to offer Morris County artists the opportunity

to showcase and sell their work and to con-nect with the community, while promoting

Morristown as a hub for the Arts.

Kadie Dempsey, Director of Arts in

Community at Morris Arts, says If people

want to know what the word Creative

Placemaking is all about, the Art Walk with

Julie Freidman taking a leadership role, is a

great example of artists taking ownership in

their own community and creating vibrancy

in the downtown. Events that are community

based like the Art Walk enrich the local econ-

omy by supporting local artists and business-es this helps to create a more interesting and

exciting downtown area. Maps will be avail-

able at all locations hosting artists and loca-

tions will be clearly marked with balloons

and signs. For more information contact Julie

Friedman, ArtSpace Studio, 201-819-0371

Thirty years ago this month, the partnerspurchased the store from the originalMoe. They tossed most of what they had at

the time into the investment and threedecades later, they have shown that it waswell worth it, as they have tripled the storesfootprint, filled it with a team of knowl-edgeable, attentive salespeople, and createda beautiful, modern showroom.

Moe Distributors celebrated its originalgrand opening in June of 1965 under theownership of Moe Kessler. At that time, thesmall building, where the store still standstoday, simply housed a modest office with aclient window where Moe sold hardwareand building materials to professionals and

homeowners. Despite some changes andrenovations over the years, the store isproud to retain its small-business atmos-

phere and the ability to give individual,expert attention to each of its customers.

Today the store is a mature, modern ver-sion of its original self, frequented by con-struction professionals, homeowners, and

top interior designers and architects from allover the tri-state area. All are serviced bythe stores eight full-time staff members.But Jeff and Art have never lost their pas-sion for the family store they bought 30years ago. Among the full-time staff, youllfind Jeffs brother-in-law, Gary Boralsky;Pete Kalvin, whom Jeff has known since histeenage years; Jeffs wife Michele; Artswife, Pam; close family friend, GaryNolting; and in recent years the addition ofJeffs son, Phillip, who is playing an inte-gral role in leading this family business

through the next generations.Congratulations to the entire Moesteam.

Going on 85 years, The Kiwanis Club of Morristown

continues to help youth locally and around the

world through projects, charities and.a smile.

Chartered in 1929, The Kiwanis Club of Morristowncurrently has 22 members that serve Morristown and

Morris Township. Membership is open to anyone interested

in reaching out to the children in the community and better-

ing their lives.

The major goal of the Kiwanis club is to teach children

leadership skills and the importance of charity through proj-

ects and afterschool programs. It also supports local agen-

cies and gives back to the community through various pro-

grams.

Our primary focus is to help the youth of the world,

says Steve McKinley, president of the Kiwanis Club of

Morristown for the past three years.

The Kiwanis Club of Morristown supports and sponsors

the Morristown Key Club at Morristown High School with

more than 100 members; the Key Club at Morristown Beard

School with 30 students; and the Builders Club at

Frelinghuysen Middle School with about 50 student mem-

bers.

McKinley says the Kiwanis club teaches these students

leadership skills and gives them a basis for charitable

foundation of giving back to the school community by

supporting local charities.

Both key clubs pick which charities they would like to

support, explains McKinley. They also tutor and nurture

younger kids in the school system.

We put up funds to get them organized, sys McKinley.

We give them a banner, insurance for activities and act in

a mentoring role for them. A Kiwanis member also serves

as a directed advisor to each group. Each student group

holds its own meetings.

The key clubs and builders club raise money for

Childrens Specialized Hospital in New Brunswick teach-

ing them to give back to their peers and those less fortu-

nate, says McKinley.

They also support Kiwanis International and its $110

million Eliminate Project. Kiwanis and UNICEF are work-

ing together to eliminate maternal and neonatal tetanus. The

painful disease kills one baby every nine minutes, and

nearly 60,000 babies and women each year, according to

the Kiwanis International website.

We are trying to raise funds to provide tetanus shots to

kids and mothers in 42 countries around the world, says

McKinley. For $1.80 per shot, we can cure the problem.

The Kiwanis Club of Morristown has supported many

local groups such as Market Street Mission, Morristown

Babe Ruth League, American Cancer Society, American

Red Cross, Homeless Solutions, Project Acorn, Morristown

Partnership and Morristown Clean Communities Program.

On Sat., Oct. 12, The Kiwanis Club of Morristown will

hold its Shred Event at Morristown Town Hall on South

Street from 9 a.m. until noon. Local residents are invited to

haul down their papers and documents to be shredded for a

small donation.

The Kiwanis Club of Morristown also helps to keep the

community clean by participating in community clean ups

and helps the homeless by cooking for Homeless Solutions

at its facility in Morris Township.

The club holds weekly breakfast or dinner meetings. For

more information, donations or to join, call Steve McKinley

at 973-277-4171 or go to www.morristownkiwanisnj.org.

We are trying to grow the membership so we could pro-

vide more service to the community, says McKinley, who

has been involved for 30 years.

Once you see the smile on a young persons face and

you realize you shared something they can have the rest of

their life, its worth every second, says McKinley. Its

making kids happy.

For the fall festival in town, the Kiwanis Club of

Morristown buys close to 200 mini pumpkins from Ort

Farms in Long Valley and provides every color of the

spectrum of the magic marker to three, four, five and six

year olds who attend, says McKinley.

You see the tongue go to one side, the smile, the gig-

glesit makes a father whose youngest child is 22 relapse

into childhood again, he says. You cant buy a better

video. You marvel to see them partake in that activity.

Thats just fun.

Wings of Freedom Tour...

are open to the public, who can view the planes at air-

shows, events, and airports throughout the country.

Aside from the planes that were brought to the

Morristown airport, the foundation has several that are

still flying. In the Early Aviation Collection, there is a

1909 Bleriot Type XI and a 1911 Wright Vin Fiz, which

is a replica. The World War II Collection includes a

Fiesler FI-156 Storch, a Grumman TBM Avenger, and an

FM-2 Wildcat.

The Wings of Freedom Tour celebrates its 24th run-

ning this year. On average, the tour stops in 110 cities and

35 states each year.

Athree-part series

regarding Jewish

environmental spir-

ituality and practice will

take place at the MorrisCounty Library in

Whippany starting in

October.

Rabbi Lawrence Troster,

a religious environmental

leader and Jewish eco-the-

ologian, will be conducting

the series at the library,

which is located across from

the Frelinghuysen

Arboretum.

Rabbi Troster currently

works as the rabbinical

scholar-in-residence at

GreenFaith. This organiza-

tion is the interfaith envi-

ronmental coalition in the

state of New Jersey.

Additionally, Rabbi Troster

was the former creator and

director of the GreenFaith's

fellowship program.

The first session will

begin at around 12 noon on

Wednesday, October 9.

Session two will start on

October 16 at 11:30 am. The

third session will start onOctober 23 around 11:30

am.

The series is free and

open to the public, and will

be sponsored by the

National Council of Jewish

Women (NCJW), West

Morris Section's Our Jewish

World. Melanie Levitan and

Ellen Nesson, both of

Morristown, are leading the

council. The goal of the

three-part series is to intro-

duce the major ideas and

practices of Jewish environ-

mentalism.

"Ten Teachings on

Jewish Environmentalism"

is the first session, which

will focus on Jewish envi-

ronmentalism and the ideas,

practices, and major sources

behind it. A variety of topics

Jewish Environmentalism Series to Begin in Octoberwill be covered in the ses-

sion, such as an individual's

relation to creation, Jewish

sustainability, biodiversity,

environmental justice andtikkun olam, a Hebrew

phrase for "repairing the

world."

In session two, "Mekor

Hayyim (Source of Life):

The Meaning of Water in

Judaism," will focus on

environmental issues from a

Jewish perspective. One of

the issues begins with the

fact that the amount of fresh

drinking water is decreasing

due to factors such as popu-

lation growth, climate

change and pollution.

Another issue is that simply

having access to water is

quickly becoming one of

this century's major world

security problems.

Session three is "Beyond

the Letter of the Law:

Jewish Ethical Action and

Investing in Light of

Climate Change." This ses-

sion will investigate prob-

lems such as whether indi-

viduals should invest inenergy companies that work

to promote the consumption

of fossil fuels, which are

one of the primary sources

of climate change. Then the

session will tackle issues

such as who is morally

responsible for the actions

of the companies that are

part of one's portfolio when

investing in stocks or mutu-

al funds? To find theanswers, relevant classic

and modern sources will be

looked at.

Rabbi Troster brings to

the program an impressive

resume and plenty of rele-vant experience. He is cur-

rently a member of Al

Gore's Climate Reality

Project Leadership Corps.

In addition, he held the

position of Rabbinical

Fellow for the Coalition on

the Environment and Jewish

Life. Rabbi Troster has also

published a variety of arti-

cles and routinely lectures

for large audiences. Topicshave ranged from eco-theol-

ogy, bio-ethics, Judaism,

and modern cosmology.

"Mekor Hayyim: A Source

Book on Water and

Judaism" is one of RabbieTroster's most recent publi-

cations. He is also an

accomplished public speak-

er and has been a keynote

speaker at an array of con-

ferences.

Mrs. Wilsons Treatment Center for

Women is offering Morristown

and the surrounding communities,

free drug and alcohol family education and

support sessions at their Morristown facility.The programs fall 2013 educational series

is scheduled for one Sunday a month for

four months. The sessions are topic orient-

ed addressing such issues as: how families

and friends can help, where to get help,

readiness to change, blame and shame,

recovery, and more. The fall series will

begin Sunday September 22, 2013. All four

sessions will be held from 10:00AM to

11:30 at 56 Mt. Kemble Ave. Morristown.

The session topic details are as follows:

September 22: The session will includean explanation of treatment services avail-

able for women and methods of identifying

treatment centers. The discussion will also

address the emotional suffering of the fami-

ly and the substance abuser.

October 20: The session will address

issues regarding the addict and familys

readiness to change. This session will also

include a discussion about enabling behav-

ior. Because many drug abusers deny they

have a problem, they will not seek help on

their own. Therefore, knowledgeable family

members, friends or co-workers may need

to assist the user to seek treatment. This ses-sion is designed to assist in making difficult

decisions.

November 17: The session will focus on

specific drugs of abuse with an emphasis

upon prescription medications and the

growing use of heroin. The non-medical

use or abuse of prescription drugs is a seri-

ous and growing public health problem.

Prescription drugs in the opiate family, such

as Vicodin (hydrocodone) and oxycontin,

are often prescribed for chronic pain or

recovery from surgery. Benzodiazepines,such as Valium or Xanax, are prescribed to

treat anxiety. Most people take prescription

medications responsibly; however, an esti-

mated 48 million people (ages 12 and older)

have used prescription drugs for non-med-

ical reasons in their lifetimes. This repre-

sents approximately 20 percent of the U.S.

population. Addiction to prescription opi-

ates often leads many to the use of heroin.

Free Drug and Alcohol Family Education and Support SessionsDecember 15: The final fall series ses-

sion will focus upon relapse prevention and

having a relapse plan. This last session will

be an open discussion and summary of the

series.The schedule and more information is

available at www.mrswilsons.org or by call-

ing 973-540-0116. If you have a friend or

family member with a drug or alcohol prob-

lem who is struggling, you may want to

attend these sessions.

Welcome to Morris County! Thats

how the staff at the Morris

County Tourism Bureau, located

at 6 Court Street in Morristown, greet walk-

world. People visit the office from every

continent. In just one recent week people on

brochures and advice on things to do local-

ly. In fact, nearly 2,500 people visit the

Tourism Bureau each year and tourism to

Morris County is a $1.8 billion dollar indus-

try benefitting local historical and cultural

attractions, restaurants and hotels.

The Tourism Bureau was begun in 1997

with a small staff of one, Leslie Bensley

the current executive director. Over the

years the staff and its responsibilities have

grown. The office has biennially produced

the official Morris County Visitors Guide

and the latest version is due out this fall. Itwill be a Special Edition in honor of two

events of historic proportion: the 2014

Super Bowl set to be played on February

2nd in MetLife Stadium and a celebration of

New Jerseys 350th anniversary (New

Jersey was settled in 1664).

The NFL has estimated that the econom-

ic benefit to the metropolitan area due to the

Super Bowl will reach $500 million dollars

and bring an estimated 400,000 visitors to

subscribers every two weeks with the top

suggestions for activities in the area. The

Tourism Bureau also offers original histori-

cal walking tours in the summer and fall and

participates in such events as Revolutionary

Times, the Saint Patricks Day parade and

Holly Days. Couples planning to marry,

meeting planners and realtors stop in to pick

up information like maps, calendars, maga-

zines and information that assists with relo-

cation to the area.

Fall brings with it

beautiful weather,

cool breezes and col-

orful foliage. Celebrate all

of the beauty, fun and fla-

vors of the season with your

family. Take a hike, visit a

pumpkin patch, plan a party

or spend the afternoon bak-

ing autumn-inspired treats.

Here are a few fun ideas

to enjoy fall with your fam-

ily:

One traditional fall

favorite is apple butter.

Crisp apples are cooked

slowly until the sugars

caramelize into a deep, rich

flavor. Thats also the way

Musselmans makes it.

Spread it on toast, pancakes

or other baked goods. It is

also a great way to add anew flavor to your favorite,

familiar dishes. For tips and

recipes, such as apple or

pumpkin dips, visit

www.musselmans.com.

Take your family to the

pumpkin patch. Pick a

pumpkin or enjoy play-

grounds, hay rides, corn

mazes, petting zoos, hay

forts and farm tours found at

many patches. Take a picnic

and enjoy the day.

Celebrate autumn with

a potluck. Encourage guests

to bring dishes made with

classic fall flavors like

caramel, pumpkin, apples

and warm spices. Simply

adding apple butter to

favorite family recipes will

give a cinnamon apple fla-

vor to much loved dishes.

Those lucky enough to

live in an area where leaves

turn breathtaking shades of

bronze, yellow, orange and

red should take advantage

of the natural beauty with a

family hike or slow drive

through the country.Every autumn, nature

puts on a brilliant color

show in many parts of the

country. The beautiful

weather, colorful back-

ground and traditional

activities are the perfect

excuse to embrace fall fun

with your family.

Apples! They are a symbol of the fall.

And what better way to usher in the

season than with the Annual Apple

Festival at the United Presbyterian Churchin Flanders. Held on Saturday, September

28th from 10am 4pm, the festival

includes a live auction, bake sale, bounce

house, hayrides, and much more. The

church is located at 58 Drakesdale Road in

Flanders. Raindate for the festival is

Saturday, October 5th.

If you are looking for a great, totally

safe place to spend a day with your family

and have some fun, good food and great

company, the United Presbyterian Church

in Flanders is the place to be on September

28th, said church member Tom Speer

Speer explained that the Apple festival

has been held annually for about the past 13

years. The idea for the festivals name came

about because of the apple-related baked

goods sold. However, the festival has a vari-

ety of other offerings as well.

A live auction will be held from 1pm to

4pm. The auctioneer is congregation mem-

ber, Lisa Fassett. Speer noted that they are

still collecting items, but to date, there are

free night stays and breakfast at a couple

local hotels good for a year, multiple pizza

shop pizzas, tickets to sporting events,

signed sports autographs, and more. We

usually end up with nearly 75 items to auc-

tion off.

There will be a variety of goodies and

items to buy. We have a baked goods

table, hot dogs, hamburgers, popcorn, cold

drinks and more to keep you fed, said

Speer. He noted that there will be vendors

selling things including farm produce, jew-

elry, bird houses, and fishing equipment. At

the book sale table, people will be able to

find both hard and softcover books. Also,

there is a just two bucks table where

people will find many new and maybe

slightly used articles selling for just a cou-

ple of bucks.

The fun includes demonstrations and

childrens games. We are planning on hav-

ing both a local martial arts studio and an

Irish step dance group perform a demonstra-

tion. Demonstrations will be from 10 am

until 1pm, said Speer. In addition, there

will be childrens toss games, hayrides, and

a bounce house.

In the spirit of giving, a bloodmobile will

be on site.

Speers shared , All proceeds [of the fes-

tival] are retained by the church for use in

special unbudgeted projects throughout the

(L to R) Cindy Peach and Lisa Silkowski man last year's homemade baked goods table at

the Apple Festival.

Edison claimed When I got to the first sta-

tion on the run I found the device had

worked beyond my expectations. The plat-

form literally was crowded with men andwomen anxious to buy newspapers.

Thomas Edison gave further praise of his

deafness to Edward Marshall I have no

doubt that my nerves are stronger and better

today than they would have been if I had

heard all the foolish conversation and other

meaningless sounds that normal people

hear. The things that I have needed to hear I

have heard. ..Most nerve strain of our mod-

ern life, I fancy, comes to us through our

ears.

Edison claimed it was his deafness thathelped make improvements to the sound

quality of Bells telephone and helped him

to improve on his own phonograph inven-

tions. He claims his deafness made him

acutely aware of the noise in sound. He

depended on the purity of sound to hear it.

His deafness helped isolate the noise and he

set off to banish the clatter he found - both

the audible and proverbial kind. In Edison

words People with good hearing have

become so accustomed to the uproar of civ-

ilization that the uproar has become neces-

sary to their lives.

When we think of Thomas Edison,

we never think of him as an

inventor challenged with physi-cal disabilities. Edison was deaf most of

this life. Edisons hearing loss was a culmi-

nation of contracting childhood scarlet

fever and further hearing loss at the age of

12 years from a head trauma incident.

Edison spent his entire adult life with

almost total hearing loss.

Thomas Edison gave a very personal

interview about his deafness to journalist

Edward Marshall for Hearsts International

COSMOPOLITAN in April of 1925. He

stated my deafness has not been a handicapbut a help to me. Edison claimed his deaf-

ness aided his learning in his youth I read

Burtons Anatomy of Melancholy - pretty

heavy reading for a youngster. It might

have been, if I hadnt been taught by my

deafness that almost any book will supply

entertainment or instruction.

Thomas Edison spent his youth getting

the typed Headline News before the rest of

the country. He was the newspaper boy for

the passengers of the Grand Trunk railroad

during the Civil War. He learned to parlay

his railroad station access to the only head-

line news medium the newspapers. It was

these stations that had the pulse on transmit-

ting the news. Newspaper companies print-ed the news provided by the telegraph com-

munications stations that transmitted battle

report messages from telegraph wires

across the railroad lines. Here Edison states

..I had a chance to learn that money can be

made out of little careful thought and, being

poor, I already knew that money is a valu-

able thing. Boys who dont know that are

under a disadvantage greater than deafness.

..I was already very deaf. In my isolation

(insulation would be a better term) I had

time to think things out. I decided that if Icould send ahead to outlaying stations a hint

of the big war news which I, there in

Detroit, had learned was coming, I could do

better than normal business when I reached

them. Young Edison convinced the

Detroit Free Press to supply him the just-

off- the -press newspapers on a promise he

would sell them all. Then, Edison had sta-

tion agents who were also the telegraphers

give advance notice to the passengers that a

big headline news story was in the newspa-

per when they arrived at their next station.
