boredom. Some of these scenarios might be

true, but I think it was much more than that.

He knew the war would be scrupulously

studied by future generations. Many ofthese veterans carefully packed away their

menial possessions as a personal time cap-

sule, hoping that someone in the future

would discover them and if only for a brief

moment, remember their small part in

American History.

This book took me almost two years to

complete, in part because I kept coming

across additional items to include which I

felt were pertinent to telling the story. I was

fortunate to have Mr. William Chemerka

write the Foreword; an author, actor, histo-rian and lifelong New Jersey educator

(often commentating on the History

Channel and C-Span). There are few people

who know more about Americas history.

There are almost 600 photos in this 151

page book and it also has a full index.

About the Author:

Mr. Jones is a lifelong resident of New

Jersey, originally from the Passaic area but

now residing in Stanhope for many years.He is an Army veteran, having served with

the artillery in the 101st Airborne Division

in Vietnam. Over the years, Robert has been

well known for his displays and exhibits

throughout New Jersey, including such

places as The Newark Museum, The New

Jersey Historical Society, Fosterfields

Living Historical Farm, Cooper Grist Mill,

and numerous other locations throughout

the state.

In 2003 he was in the movie Gods and

Generals during some of the First Manassasand Chancellorsville scenes. He has written

several articles for The North/South Trader

Civil War magazine and has contributed and

been acknowledged in several Civil War

related books. Some of these works involve

by Thomas Fox and The Mutinous

Regiment, by John G. Zinn. He is the past

President and member of the 33rd New

Jersey Volunteer Infantry, a reenactinggroup which represents the original New

Jersey unit which served with distinction

during the Civil War.

Mr. Jones will be doing a book signing

and Civil War exhibit and display at the end

of August at the Manassas Museum in

Virginia. It is described as the Civil War

event that transformed a sleepy railroad

junction into a thriving camp and then a

devastated landscape. He will also be sign-ing his books at Gettysburg in November.

The Blood Center of New Jersey

(BCNJ) is appealing to all eligible

blood donors and the community at

large for help with the current blood supply.

Current inventories are at dangerously lowlevels and less than half a day supply is avail-

able for NJ hospitals and patients. Summer

collections are usually slower than normal but

this year the State Health Department is

reporting a 12% reduction in collections from

last year state wide. This has created a deple-

tion of readily available blood products for

hospitals and trauma centers. Our first major

objective is to make sure the blood is ready

when patients are in need and given our cur-

rent inventory levels, we are urging the pub-

lic to respond stated Tina Ilao, President andCEO for the blood center. Demand continues

to outpace collections and BCNJ is asking the

public for their help in replenishing the cur-

rent blood supply. Anyone 17 years or older,

in general good health and who has not donat-

ed in the past 56 days are asked to consider

blood donation at this time. The Blood

Center of New Jersey requests that you visit

their web site at www.bloodnj.org to find a

donation site nearest you. In addition, dona-

tion centers are located in Parsippany and

West Orange to help with your donation.Blood center officials note that each unit

of blood donated is broken down into several

components including platelets, plasma, and

red cells, so one donation can save up to three

lives.

The donation process is safe and simple.Donors are first asked medical history ques-

tions and given a mini-health check, includ-

ing pulse, blood pressure, and iron level. The

actual donation of blood takes just 5 to 7 min-

utes, and then the donor is given a snack and

juice. The entire process generally takes

under one hour. Donors will receive a free

cholesterol screening.

16 year olds can donate with a consent

form signed by accompanying

parent/guardian, weight 120 pounds and be in

general good health. There is no upper agelimit for donors provided they meet health

requirements. Donors should bring a signed

or picture form of identification and know

their S.S. #. Please eat a meal one hour

before donating and drink plenty of water.

For those who have recently traveled out-

side of the United States and for other eligi-

bility questions, please call the blood center at

973-676-4700, ext. 132.

If you require any additional information,

please call 1-800-652-5663, during regular

business hours.

A

lthough Crescent Cove and River

Styx present tough problems for

the Lake Hopatcong Commissions

weed harvesters, Hopatcong Mayor SylviaPetillo says the borough is not receiving any

more complaints from residents of those

areas having difficulty launching boats.

Now were getting complaints from the

main lake, Petillo said.

While the combination of the 5-foot

drawdown over the off season and a persist-

ent freeze all winter kept weed growth

down, the shallow areas still saw persistent

growth. One of the two small weed har-

vesters owned by the Lake HopatcongCommission would expedite the process,

but neither is operational because parts

needed for repairs were stolen in transit,

according to Dan Bello of the state Division

of Parks and Forestry.

The four large weed harvesters are work-

ing the lake, bringing out about 27 cubic

yards a day, Bello said. Harvesting started

on June 6 and 800 tons of weeds were in by

July 18. Two barges take the weeds from the

harvesters to the shore where they are

trucked to a landfill in Morris County.

Bellos said a large percentage of the

weeds were from the River Styx and

Crescent Cove area.

A late start in 2013 resulted in only 270

tons harvested by July 18.The small harvesters should be on the

water by mid-month. One is designated for

Lake Musconetcong.

The Commission agreed to loan the Lake

Musconetcong Planning Board a small har-

vester to help with severe weed-control

problems in that small, shallow, man-made

lake. In return for that agreement, the state

Department of Environmental Protection

granted the commission $40,000 toward the

weed program. Lake Musconetcong has onelarge harvester that isnt efficient in the

shallowest areas. The large harvesters have

a 24-inch draft and the small ones have a

12-inch draft.

The state also chipped in another

$10,000 for repairs, Ellis said.

Commissioner Dan McCarthy said he

considers the loan to the Lake

Musconetcong Regional Planning Board a

pilot project to be reevaluated at the end of

the season.

Several members of the Lake

Tough Problems for Lake Hopatcong Commissions Weed Harvesters

Commission were initially skeptical of the

loan of the harvester and asked about alter-

natives at several commission meetings.

Ellis explained it would cost $60 million to

dredge Lake Musconetcong.

Mark Gruber of Hopatcong asked why

chemicals arent used on the weeds.

Chemicals are not appropriate, Kerry

Kirk-Pflugh, DEP representative to the

commission, said. Killed weeds create fer-

tile ground for re-growth.

Weed-eating sterile grass carp are only

allowed in bodies of water 10 acres or less,

Lubnow said, He said the state is afraid they

will damage the eco-system. He said the

weeds are particularly bad this year because

it has been several years since the commis-

sion has been able to afford a comprehen-

sive harvesting program. However, septic

management in Jefferson Township for the

past three years has helped the health of the

lake in general.

Weed harvesting started on Memorial

Day weekend this year.

One of the large weed harvesters was

taken to Neptune City on Monday, May 19,

to assist in the removal of 250 million

pounds of bunker fish that died in the SnakeRiver. Other state and commercial har-

vesters are also working on the fish kill,

Kerry Kirk-Pflugh, the state Department of

Environmental Protection representative to

the Lake Hopatcong Commission said.

After the fish kills was cleaned up, the har-

vester was sanitized before being brought to

the lake, Park Superintendent Steve Ellis

said.

Bellos last report to the lake commis-

sion detailed the areas harvested: from the

north side of Bertrands Island to Sharps

Rock and the Landing Channel, King Cove,

Crescent Cove and River Styx. The two big

harvesters were anchored in Ashley Cove

and will work from there toward Brady

Bridge.

The Liffy Island area must be hand-har-

vested because of the presence of water

chestnuts which can be spread with the

automated harvesters, Bello said.

Residents have expressed concerns that

the harvesters may kill fish, but Bello said

few fish are actually caught in the harvester.

Dan McCarthy of the Lake Commissionsaid he rode the harvester a few years ago

and saw fish scramble away. Sometimes

when a fish gets caught, the operator will

reverse the belt to free the fish.

Park Superintendent Steve Ellis said the

lack of oxygen in places where herbicides

were applied can kill fish.

The State Park website now has a page

with contact information and other details

about the harvest, Ellis said.

Area residents are invited to enjoy a

day of family-friendly music for the

cost of canned food donations that

will support the Community Foodbank of

New Jersey. Foodstock 2014, organized by

Sound of Humanity, Roxbury Recreation, andRoxbury Arts Alliance will take place at

Horseshoe Lake Park, Roxbury, NJ, on

August 30, from 11 a.m. to 6:30 p.m.

For less than $10 the cost of four 16

ounce cans of food a family of four can help

New Jersey residents who dont have enough

to eat and hear eight different bands that are

donating their time and talents to support this

event, said Larry Salomon who heads Sound

of Humanity. All of the canned goods that

will be collected will go directly to the

Community FoodBank of New Jersey, whichhas over 1,000 partner organizations through-

out the state of NJ.

Community FoodBank of New Jersey

(CFBNJ) distributes more than 40 million

pounds of food a year, helping feed more than

900,000 hungry people in the state.

Every day, we see hard-working families,

struggling seniors and vulnerable children

who face hunger, said Julia Kathan, Director

of Public Relations and Communications for

CFBNJ. Our latest numbers show that there

are more than 39,000 people in MorrisCountry alone including nearly 16,000 chil-

dren who dont always know where their

next meal is coming from.

In some cases, the neighbors who are hav-

ing difficulties feeding their families are

working, and might not qualify for most

forms of public assistance.We recently met a Morris County mother

who, like her husband, has a job but cant

make ends meet as they try to raise their two

young daughters. This womans eyes filled

with tears at a local food pantry. She told us,

Its simple. Food helps us live, said

Kathan.

Among the bands that have volunteered to

play for Foodstock 2014 are Matt Mead Band

(Elizabeth, NJ), The Bent Benjamins (West

Chester, PA), and Under a Ton (Roxbury, NJ).

Each of these bands will play music thatevery member of the family can enjoy, said

Salomon. Additionally, there will be food

vendors on hand so you can buy lunch for the

family without having to miss a single note.

A few activities for younger kids will also be

available, at an extra cost, if your children

want to do something else during the festi-

val.

This event is made possible by the gener-

ous support of local businesses: Aires

Jewelers, D Lovenbergs Portable Toilet

Rentals, Kuiken Brothers, Merry Musicians,PanAVid, The Powder Bar, and ShopRite.

Netcong is the place to be on

September 7th. Its the annual

Netcong Day. The action starts at

10:30am on Maple Avenue with participantscompeting in a 5K run which will take them

around Lake Musconetcong. From 11am to

5pm, Main Street will be filled with ven-

dors, booths, music and family fun. About

4,000 people attend each year, making this a

standout event which is held rain or shine.

The 5K race is a U.S. Track and Field

certified event. Netcong Mayor Joe

Nametko said that the race brings in people

from throughout the tri-state area and those

who have participated have commented thatis so picturesque running around Lake

Musconetcong.

The major shared the race draws in a

variety of participants at a number of levels.

For example, last years female winner

could not accept her award because she was

part of a NCAA sanctioned team. There are

people doing less than 6 minute miles. In

contrast, the mayor said that you can see

families run with kids in a carriage. There

are moms, dad, and kids who walk or run.

Information on registering for the race

can be found on the town website at

www.netcong.org

Theres so much to do: shop at vendor

stands, there will be demonstrations like the

one done by a karate group, two DJs..shared Nametko as he started to list the

types of things that will be at the Street Fair

part of the day.

He emphasized the family oriented fun

of the day and noted that Netcong Day is

held the first weekend after school starts,

when families are trying to get out and do

something together.

Among the booths there will be a silent

auction booth run by the Stanhope United

Methodist Church. Trustee president,Amanda Rush, of Netcong, shared that pro-

ceeds from the auction will go toward the

churchs operating expenses and to its

Raise the Roof fund. The latter is being

used to raise money to fix the louvers on the

historic church.

Netcong resident Sharon Rosequist will

be helping to run the booth of the North

Jersey Triple Crown pageant (part of the

Miss America system) which will be

manned by its current titleholders and

Terry Cook thinks of Lead East as a

work of art in progress. It is Cooks

Appleton Productions of Long

Valley that has brought the event, known asthe worlds biggest 50s party, to life for 32

years. Each year theres something differ-

ent for spectators to enjoy. Meanwhile, it

keeps true to its theme: celebrating the

innocence and fun of the 1950s with cars,

music, B movies and dance. This year from

Wednesday, August 27 through Sunday,

Aug. 31st the parking lots of the Parsippany

Hilton on Route 10 will turn back the hands

of time welcoming 1,800 classic cars, plus

inside having a variety of bands and doowop groups, sock hops, and more.

So whats new this year?

Mr. Joe Jangles is a one man performer

who hails from Detroit. Cook saw him as a

street performer in Texas and knew he

wanted Jangles for Lead East.

Mr. Joe Jangles, a real one-man band, will be strolling around and performing during this year's

Lead East.

Lead East Brings the 1950s to ParsippanyI love this guy! said Cook.

Cook shared that people will see Jangle

everywhere from Friday Sunday.

Something that Cook has long wanted

for Lead East is a Caribbean steel drum

band. This year, Lead East has one, in the

person of Mustafa Alexander from

Brooklyn. Alexander will be playing in the

hotel lobby atrium on Saturday and Sunday

from 9 11:30am.

Teaching the Shag will be Tony and

Suzy Eldrith of North Carolina. Shag is

similar to the jitterbug, but a little more

complicated. It is big in the South, shared

Cook. Shag lessons will be given on Friday

and Saturday.

The showing of B movies at a drive-in

in the Hilton parking lot is a Lead East tra-

dition. There will be three B Godzillia

movies shown this year. However, it is the

first time Lead East is showing a Korean

Godzilla movie. Cook shared that it has

Godzilla dancing to rock and roll.

There will be a variety of vendors and a

chance to be an early Santa. Food, toys,

collectibles, and automotive-themed items

and more will be on sale. Also, the Military

Transport Association will be set up among

the outside vendors in front of the Hilton,

collecting unwrapped toys for Toys for Tots.

All toy donations collected will be delivered

to the US Marine Reserve Unit at Picatinny

Arsenal. They will be distributed during the

holiday season to needy children in the

North Jersey area.

.Of course, Lead Easts roots is

cars..and there will be plenty of them.

People from about 22 states will make the

trip to the Hilton to show their cars and help

add to the 50s atmosphere. Cook has long

said that Lead East is a family event and

that is evident by the people who join in the

tradition year after year and those just dis-

covering it for the first time.

Lynn Zaremba remembers getting under the blankets

as a child and reading the Bible with her older sister,

Gail. Gail was studying for confirmation. That sim-

ple sibling moment of sharing would plant a seed that

would grow into a calling and eventually lead Zaremba to

what she is today: the new pastor of Stanhope United

Methodist Church in Netcong.

My sister, Gail, was my greatest mentor, shared

Zaremba. She said that her sister had a very good spirit her

whole life. Gail was very involved in church and led her

sister into that.

It was in her 20s that Zaremba got her calling to be a

pastor; however, it would be much later that the calling

would be realized.

She worked for Burgdorf Realtors, where shed spend 38

years before entering the ministry. At Burgdorf, she has

worked as a secretary, relator, and then did financials. She

went from selling to a desk job so that she could be by the

phone in case her son, Anthony, needed her.

Her late son, Anthony, was born disabled. She recalled

that after his birth, her life became running from the hospi-

tal to the doctor.

You dont have the time [for much else], she shared.

Tending to her sons needs, she put her wants and needs in

the background

Time was tight and the family had got away from going

to church.

However, nine years after Anthony, a daughter, Amy,

was born. Later, getting Amy in Sunday School, was the

impetus that got Lynn back in church. The pastor of that

church liked to give everyone responsibilities. One of the

jobs Lynn got was doing a Bible exploration section of

Vacation Bible School.

Zaremba said, It was a refreshing, renewal.

Then, she was encouraged to be a layspeaker, but since

she had no childcare for her son, couldnt do it. When Amy

got old enough, she babysat her brother and Lynn was able

to substitute for area United Methodist pastors by deliver-

ing the Sunday message.

The first time I preached, I was sold, she said. That

decision, the calling from my 20s, was there. She just had

to make it happen.

Now, as of July, she is the new pastor at Stanhope United

Methodist Church. It is her first pastorate.

Reflecting on the journey her life has taken, Zarembra

shared two lessons taught to her by her children.

My son taught me how to care for people and loveunconditionally, she said of Anthony who died three years

ago.

My daughter (Amy, now 21) taught me how to live

again, she shared.

Given her journey, it is not surprising that pastoral care

is important. Its my number one thing. Bring them Gods

truth in a way that is understandable, she said.

Zaremba also sees as a strength the business background

that she brings to the church. She believes it is true for

everyone when she says, You can see how carefully He

[God] has planned your path.

Her birthday sign is Aquarius and there seems to be no

Lynn Zaremba is the new pastor at Stanhope United MethodistChurch.

The New Face at Stanhope United Methodist Church

coincidence it that. She is the self-proclaimed water

queen of her family. She loves swimming, anything that

gets her near the water. Even washing dishes, she

smiled.

In addition, Zaremba loves family gatherings, spending

time with friends, sewing and is addicted to doing jigsaw

puzzles.

She also wants to find out more about her new location.

[Im ] looking forward to meeting the people of this

community, learning about this community and becom-

ing a part of the community, she shared.

ollowing his recent first-place award from the

Pocono Arts Council, Dr. James Gwynne, professor

of visual arts at County College of Morris (CCM),

now has had one of his paintings selected for exhibition atthe 15th Annual Wills Creek Survey in Maryland.

Selected for that exhibition is his painting As One, an

imaginative transparent combination of male and female

nudes.

The Wills Creek Survey is a juried art exhibition open

to contemporary visual artists from across the United

States. This years exhibition takes place September 13

October 10 at the Saville Gallery, 9 N. Centre Street,

Cumberland, MD. More than $5,000 in awards will be pre-

sented to artists during the Opening Reception and Awards

Ceremony on September 13.

In May, Gwynne, of East Stroudsburg, PA, was present-

ed with the first-place award in the Pocono Arts Councils

Members Exhibition for his painting Delicate Sky.

Four of his paintings also were chosen for the annual

juried Westmoreland Art Nationals, which took place inJuly. Those entries consisted of a series of paintings of tele-

phone poles, titled After the Storm, Evening Fog with

Telephone Pole, Evening Pole Silhouettes and

Telephone Pole at Sunset.

A consistent award-winner, Gwynne has gained wide

recognition for his paintings including Best in Show at the

Westmoreland Art Nationals.

Gwynne joined the CCM faculty in 1972. He also has

taught at The College of Wooster and Centenary College.

He earned his B.A. from The College of Wooster, his

M.A. from Michigan State University and his Ph.D. from

The foods a person eats can increase his or her risk of

developing various types of cancer. Sodium nitrite

and sodium nitrate are widely used as preservatives,

antimicrobial agents, colorings, and flavorings in cured

meats and many other products. Nitrates and nitrites are

commonly found in hot dogs and lunch meats. Once they

are consumed, nitrates turn into nitrites in the digestive sys-

tem, and it is believed that nitrites react with certain bodily

chemicals and turn into cancer-causing carcinogens knownas nitrosamines. Green, leafy vegetables and root vegeta-

bles contain naturally occurring nitrites as well. However, it

is believed that nitrites in vegetables do not have the same

effect on the body as artifically added ones, so the benefits

of eating vegetables outweigh these risks. But avoiding

nitrites does not mean people have to give up their favorite

foods. Many types of bacon, hot dogs, bologna, and other

foods now come in nitrite-free varieties, which is possible

byusing salt, vinegar and sugar rather than sodium nitrite to

cure the meat.

By John Johnson

Jobs in health care are growing fast. In fact, the health

care and social services industry is projected to add

more than 5,000 jobs in Morris County between 2010

and 2020, according to the New Jersey Department ofLabor. With this growth, many local health care facilities

are looking to fill positions, but they need qualified appli-

cants. In order to fill these vacancies, people need to be

trained and certified. But what happens if someone is

unable to afford tuition for training courses or make future

loan payments?

Since 2011, County College of Morris (CCM) has

helped individuals start a career in health care by providing

no-cost training through the Health Professions Pathways

Grant. This grant was developed specifically to help recipi-

ents of Temporary Assistance for Needy Families (TANF),

General Assistance or other low-income individuals who

qualify, by reducing financial and other barriers to educa-

tion and training in a wide-range of health care occupations.

The Pathways Program is literally changing lives. To

date, more than 300 students have participated in the grant

program at CCM. Students have told us that they went

from a job they hated to a career they love. Many have said

they would not have been able to obtain this training with-

out the program because they never would have been able

to afford tuition.

CCM recognizes that the cost of tuition is not the only

financial barrier for many individuals in their pursuit of

education and job training. In addition, funding for related

expenses, such as transportation, tutoring, books, uniforms,

study guides, exam and license fees and even child care

may be provided through subsidies.

We understand the challenges of making a change andwork to help applicants and students through the process.

The college has specially trained staff to assist individuals

along the way, from determining whether they are eligible

to selecting courses and finding jobs. We have regular pre-

application information sessions at CCMs main campus

that are free to attend. Classes and on-site training are held

at CCM, Morris County School of Technology, Morristown

Medical Center and at Saint Clares Hospital.

CCM offers training for a wide range of health care jobs

from Certified Nursing Assistants and Home Health Aides

to Certified Medical Coding, Billing Specialists and Dental

Radiographic Technicians. Programs vary in length from

three weeks up to a year, depending on the field of study.

To inform people about the program, CCM is working

with nonprofits, health care facilities and other local

resources. Our employer partnerships are key to helping our

students find employment opportunities. Local hospitals,

long-term care facilities, and local medical practice groups

know CCM and the top level training we provide, so they

have come to expect that the students certified through the

Pathways Grant program will be successful members of

their staff.

We know that people in Morris County impacted by the

economic downturn or other circumstances need help find-

ing good jobs, so the Pathways Grant Program, offered

through the Northern NJ Health Professions Consortium

(NNJHPC), is an important piece of addressing these needs.

Consortiums like the NNJHPC are a model for how com-munity colleges can work together to better identify eco-

nomic growth areas, form partnerships with local employ-

ers, assist applicants with the training necessary to become

employable within the health care industry. Our participa-

tion in the consortium has allowed us to be an integral local

resource by expanding our reach across northern New

Jersey to partner with county, state, federal and various

human services organizations. We are an intermediary

between available jobs and our students who want to pursue

or improve their careers.

In its Ready to Work report, the Obama

Administration noted they will work with leaders in [high

growth] industries to promote partnerships between educa-

tion and workforce institutions in order to create training

programs that help Americans succeed in these growing

fields.

CCM is doing just that right here in Morris County and

the Pathways Grant is allowing us to help others pursue

their dreams. There are still many grants available. To learn

more about the program and eligibility requirements con-

tact CCM at 973-328-2490 or visit www.ccm.edu/health-

grant.

about you helping to make this countryhealthier and stronger and raising you and

your families up. The grant program helpslow-income individuals receive no-costhealth care education and training by elimi-nating the roadblocks that would otherwise

reduce access to these opportunities. CCMoffers more than 10 different health caretraining programs throughout the year,which vary in length from three weeks up toa year, depending on the field of study. Todate, more than 300 students have complet-ed their training through the grant programat CCM.

The program really changed my life,said Nancy Williams, who became alicensed practical nurse through the pro-gram. I always wanted to be a nurse and Iwas able to go to school, get a grant and not

have to pay back a loan. And now Im doingwhat I always wanted to do. I have twonursing jobs in geriatrics and pediatrics, andI love it.

Samantha LasSalandra said, This pro-gram has changed my life completely. I wasat a job that I hated and now Im at a careerthat I love. Everyone involved was com-pletely driven to help me succeed. Dr.Edward Yaw, President of County Collegeof Morris added, We are delighted to bepart of this multi-county effort to helpincrease access to education and certifica-

tion training in high demand healthcareareas. We are grateful to our instructors and

partners who make this program a success,and hope that we can continue to changelives through this program.

This is about bridging the gap for thegenerations of people who do not feel con-nected to the workforce or to the AmericanDream, Dr. Johnson concluded. Our stu-dents have been through a lot, and it hastaken a lot for them to get here. As gradu-ates, they provide hope to others, because

now they know that there are opportunitiesavailable that can help make a better life for

themselves and their families. Thank you toour students for having the guts and deter-mination to succeed in this program.

Stuttering is a frustrating and embar-

rassing problem for millions of peo-

ple, but it can be especially tough on

elementary school-age children. Help is

available for parents, teachers, and speech-

language pathologists at most public

libraries in the form of a DVD designed to

help school-age children who stutter. Some

libraries have an older video version. It's

meant to give speech-language pathologists

the tools they need to deal with stuttering in

this age group, but it also offers good ideas

for parents and teachers," said Professor

Peter Ramig of the University of Colorado

at Boulder. Ramig is one of five nationally

recognized experts appearing in the DVD

produced by the nonprofit Stuttering

Foundation. The DVD features students

from first through sixth grade, some of

whom talk about their experiences with

stuttering. They talk openly about the teas-

ing they face from classmates and how their

stuttering sometimes makes them feel about

themselves. "We focus on demonstrating a

variety of therapy strategies that are appro-

priate in working with children who stut-

ter," adds Ramig. He appears in the DVD

along with speech-language pathologists

Barry Guitar, Ph.D., of the University of

Vermont, Hugo H. Gregory, Ph.D., and June

Campbell, M.A., of Northwestern

University, and Patricia Zebrowski, P.D., of

the University of Iowa. These five experts

answer questions about stuttering, refute

myths and misconceptions, and present

examples of therapy sessions showing how

stuttering can be reduced. More than three

million Americans stutter, yet stuttering

remains misunderstood by most people,"

said Jane Fraser, president of the Stuttering

Foundation. "Myths such as believing peo-

ple who stutter are less intelligent or suffer

from psychological problems still persist

despite research refuting these erroneousbeliefs." The 38-minute DVD, entitled

By Joe Klock, Sr.

Spontaneous droppings gleaned from bottom of the

Inspirational Bird Cage:

When NASA's robot, CURIOSITY, explored the sur-

face of the planet Mars, it reportedly found no evidence ofESPN, empty beer cans or pornography, proving that our

astronauts were, indeed, the first men to have visited there.

A word to the wise is usually unnecessary.

RUDYARD KIPLING REVISED: "If you can fill each

unforgiving minute With sixty seconds' worth of distance

run, Yours is the world and everything that's in it, And a

heart attack before you're fifty-one."

Politics is the modern American art of getting money

from the rich and votes from the poor by promising to insu-

late each group from the greedy, self-serving goals of the

other.

Roseanne Barr and others like her exhibit a touch of

crass.

Too many cooks tend to make far more dirty pots and

pans than does one cook who is working without assistance. Few things spotlight the illogic of American politics

more clearly than the selection of our Vice presidential can-

didates. After millions of dollars are spent in primary elec-

tions, the choice of our second-in-command is left, entirely

and arbitrarily, in the hands of the successful candidate,

with no input whatever from the electorate. Why not, one

wonders, bestow that honor on the second choice of the

nominee's party? This would seem to be a better idea than

anointing the hand-picked, politically expedient and often

Chips Off The Old Klockfeckless nominee of the front runner.

How come words of wisdom are so often in conflict?

E.g., "Haste makes waste" and "He who hesitates is lost."

Query concerning a respected old saying: If beauty is,

in fact, only skin deep, just what are we looking for:

Glamorous guts? Cute kidneys? Lovely livers? Why do my children's birthdays make me feel older

than my own do?

Tell me how come we tend to be so apprehensive about

tearing off those "Do Not Remove" tags from new pillows,

blankets and mattresses? Like, what's the worst they can do

to us if we get caught in the act or are later ratted out by a

hostile bedmate?

You can succeed as a parent by simply making your

children feel safe, guided, wanted, loved and worthwhile.

Most of the other merit badges and demerits are likely to

befall you accidentally.

Give your pets and your kids everything they want andyou'll probably end up with good pets and troublesome

kids..

Always leave people you love with warm words each

and every time you part company with them; it might well

be the last time you'll ever see them in this world.

Rather frequently, people who say that something can't

be done are interrupted by other people who are actually

doing it.

Leisure, praise and rewards are best enjoyed when they

have been really earned.

By and large, as long as you feel reasonably good,

older tends to be more gratifying than younger. Have you ever noticed that the things you love to do are

the things that you do best?

It makes little or no sense to expect that our children

will listen to our advice and ignore the conflicting examples

we set for them.

The best way to enjoy your children is to love them for

what they are, rather than thinking about what you'd like

them to be or what they might have become.

A good goal in life is to be all that you can be that you

WANT to be; chances are slim-to-none-that you'll ever be

more than that.

Most people really want advice for the same reason thatdrunks want lampposts - for support, rather than for illumi-

nation.

Most people who are fond of saying that money isn't

everything usually have more than enough of it.

PARODY ON BARBRA STREISAND'S HIT SONG,

"PEOPLE:"

"Peepholes, people who use peepholes, are the yucki-

est people in the world. Through your curtains, they're

peeking through your curtains, Skulking about outside,

ogling your backside, Acting more like creeples than peo-

ples. (Granted, the foregoing opusette needs work.

Collaborators will be welcomed and royalties shared equi-tably.)

A SENSIBLE RULE TO FOLLOW: Don't speak -

never utter a syllable - unless and until you are absolutely

sure that the sounds you make will be an improvement over

the silence you will irreversibly destroy.

ON PREDICTIONS: It's almost a sucker bet that the

future will arrive with a surprised look on its face.

Authors Diana Drew and Robert Grayson took an

inspiring sojourn as they wrote the new book

"Jewish Threads: A Hands-On Guide to Stitching

Spiritual Intention into Jewish Fabric Crafts" (Jewish

Lights Publishing). Exploring the intriguing stories behind

each of the book's 30 Jewish fabric craft projects fromthroughout the United States and Israel, the authors redis-

covered many of the Jewish traditions underlying hand-

made fabric crafts.

Members of the Temple Hatikvah Sisterhood will retrace

the steps the authors took on the way to this spiritual awak-

ening on Sunday, Sept. 7, at 9:45 a.m., at the Sisterhood

Membership Kickoff Breakfast, at the synagogue, 58

Pleasant Hill Road, in Flanders. The Sisterhood

Membership Kickoff Breakfast is free and open to the pub-

lic.

In a special talk, titled "Jewish Threads: Crafting aJewish Life," the authors will discuss the spiritual journey

they took in writing the book and the Jewish traditions that

suffuse these crafts. Jewish cultural heritage will come to

life through the stories of these fine handcrafted pieces.

As part of this special event, attendees will have a

chance to hand-sew Feelie Hearts for grieving children.

These small, stuffed fleece hearts, which are given to chil-

dren who have suffered a terrible loss , are donated to organ-

izations both in the United States and in Israel.

Deep-rooted, spiritual inspirations and religious convic-

tions about life and death, peace and war, birth, marriage,healing, family life, holidays, new beginnings, and how

those beliefs influence the work of fabric artists--all are

interwoven into the fabric of "Jewish Threads," which takes

readers on a journey of sacred creativity. The book presents

an array of fabric craft projects, plus the backstory behind

each of the pieces featured in the book--how and why they

Authors to Speak at Temple Hatikvah Sisterhood Membership Kickoff Breakfastwere made and what sparked the idea for each one. Among

the projects spotlighted in the book are tallitot (Jewish

prayer shawls) and Torah mantles, shulchan (lectern) covers

for the synagogue, Purim puppets, a knit seder plate, an

apples & honey Rosh Hashanah challah cover, a ChanuCats

quilt for Chanukah, and many more.A section titled "Inspirations" includes stories of five

more projects that inspired the authors to write the book,

including a quilted chuppah (Jewish wedding canopy), cre-

ated collaboratively by members of National Council of

Jewish Women, West Morris Section, of which Drew serves

as co-president. Grayson, a prize-winning former daily

newspaper reporter and magazine writer, writes books for

young adults.

Says Drew, an award-winning writer and book editor, "

'Jewish Threads' brings together the disparate threads of my

own life--Judaism and Jewish observance, sewing and knit-

ting, writing and editing--while stitching together the

inspiring stories of fabric artists from throughout the United

States and Israel. Collectively, these personal stories, andthe projects that spring from them, form a patchwork of

modern-day Jewish life. The part introductions, written by

Robert Grayson, place these crafts in historical perspective,

with tales from the Jewish tradition that give these fabric

crafts added resonance today."

Thomas Edison could also be called the founding

father of modern day insomnia. The electric light

bulb has changed mankinds sleeping habits forever.

We are no longer influenced by natures schedule but our

own regulated sleeping schedule. Edison took advantage ofhis own new manmade daylight schedule to become a well

known insomniac. But, he was not alone in his insomnia.

Recently discovered records show the unimaginable work

timetable he had with his team of 7 lab assistants that fol-

lowed his same condensed sleeping schedule.

They jokingly called themselves The Insomnia Squad.

They were a group of driven experimenters Edison selected

in 1912. They reached the hallmark of project commitment

when they intently worked for five weeks both day and

night to arrive at a solution Edison was obsessed in finding.

His focus was on the Diamond Disc record. There was a

million dollar inventory of phonographs sitting in ware-

houses but no records for them. He was in a predicament

because there were still bugs to be worked out in the man-

ufacturing process of the Diamond Disc record before it

could be brought to market.

Edison was known for his insomnia but never to this

extent where it continued for weeks on end accompanied

with a team. His wife Mina would check up on him when

his laboratory work called him away from his home life for

too long a period. This kept him from falling into extreme

sleep deprivation and physical neglect. She even placed a

bed in the lab library so he could get some bed rest.

However, Mina was not there to control this notorious 1912

insomnia marathon. Mina had unexpectedly rushed to

Akron, Ohio, to tend to her dying mother. This allowed

Edison to continue his work without any regulated controls

in his sleeping schedule and also driving his team to work

around the clock along with him.Thomas Edison never slept a long restful night. If he

was intent on a project, his schedule was to work on it until

he was tired and then he'd lie down to sleep. He claimed

that when he awoke from these short sleeping intervals he

was refreshed and ready for work. Mostly, Edison believed

in the 15 minute cat naps that he often did seating at his lab

desk chair. Napping in a sitting position at the office desk

made it hard for his employees to tell if their boss was deep

in thought or napping. Edison said he personally enjoyed

working 18 hours with short catnaps each day and an aver-

age of four to five hours of sleep per night. According to

Edison Most people overeat 100 percent, and oversleep

100 percent, because they like it. That extra 100 percent

makes them unhealthy and inefficient."

Most of Edisons team were enthusiastic about their

work and felt honored working on these revolutionary proj-

ects with their famous team leader. There were relaxing fun

moments too. His lab had a pipe organ, Edison played it

after completing their work and his assistants would have a

sing along. Edison had the ability to inspire his assistants

and gain their loyalty and dedication by working hard

alongside them and joined them in the camaraderie of

unwinding occasions together too. When a new employee

Thomas Edison Was Famous for His Insomnia and Had a Team of Insomniacs Too

asked him if there were any work rules, Edison replied

"There aint no rules around here. Were trying to accom-

plish something."

You can visit the laboratory where he averaged 18 hour

work days and see the bed his wife Mina placed in the

Laboratory Library. Please visit The Thomas Alva Edison
