    By Kate Halse

    For Paula Magone, the fight against bullying is a per-

    sonal, and often challenging one. Magone, who grew

    up in New York City, says that she has been a life-

    long victim of bullying, enduring mental and physical abuse

    while growing up.

    To help combat the issue of bullying in schools, and to

    teach children to step in and help others who are being bul-

    lied, Magone created the NCJ Magone Anti-Bullying Fund.

    The fund, which began in 2011, is named after her three

    children: Nicholas, Christina, and Joseph.

    Each year since the scholarship fund began, a handful ofRandolph High School seniors who have been accepted to

    a college, university, or trade school have received the

    award. In order to be considered, students must write a brief

    essay describing how they have helped someone who has

    been bullied, or how they went out of their way to be nice

    to a student in need.

    "The purpose of the scholarship," Magone says, "...is to

    encourage someone to reach out and do something." Such

    actions, she explains, greatly help the individual who is

    being bullied, and "it shows that you care."

    This year's scholarship recipients include four high

    school seniors whose essays stood out among the rest.These recipients earn the higher monetary awards for their

    anti-bullying actions, but everyone who participates is a

    winner, Magone explains. At the annual award ceremony

    each participant's name is listed in a brochure.

    The anti-bullying stories for 2014 included one of a foot-

    ball player who befriended a student who had always want-

    ed to become a football player himself, but whose handicap

    prevented him from playing on the field. Instead of allow-

    ing the student to sit on the bench during every game, this

    high school senior stayed with him whenever possible and

    became his buddy. Together, the students bonded and

    played games as often as they could, allowing both students

    with Anti-bullying Campaign

    Paula Magone

    to feel equally part of the football team.

    In another story, a student who ran for the school's stu-

    dent council election and lost came out on top by demon-

    strating commendable behavior towards the winner. Many

    students began to shun the student who won, but the student

    who lost the election stepped in to help. Instead of standingby and allowing the poor behavior towards the winner to

    continue, this student stepped into a leadership role and

    began helping the other student by advising others to be

    nice and to accept the winner.

    Yet another story touched on the difficulties of transi-

    tioning from middle school to high school, a time when bul-

    lying can be a big concern for incoming freshman. In this

    particular case, the award recipient knew a young girl who

    was moving into high school from middle school, and who

    was also being bullied. Concerned for the girl's safety, and

    knowing that the student was struggling, the older student

    spoke with the incoming freshman constantly and stayed by

    her side during the school day. The student also talked to the

    freshman student's sister and family, informing them about

    the bullying.

    Magone encourages adults and children alike to take just

    a few minutes out of their busy day, or week, to do some-

    thing nice for another person. She explains that a seeming-

    ly simple action, such as letting someone go ahead of you

    in line, is very important.

    Magone will hold an event for her anti-bullying cam-

    paign on Saturday, September 20, at the Taste Bar and

    Bistro in Randolph. The event will include artwork and

    music. Donations and proceeds will go directly to the

    Randolph High School.

    n Saturday, September 6th, 2014, as

    part of its grand opening held from

    1 -4 PM, the Randolph Martial Arts

    Academy will hold a special anti-bullying

    seminar which will focus on the risk factors

    of children who are more likely to get bul-

    lied as well as those more likely to become

    bullies, and on the things children and their

    parents can do to help prevent it. According

    to the U.S. Dept. of Health in 2011, one in

    every three students becomes a victim of

    bullying at some point during their school

    years. We will be addressing specific

    things that both children and their parents

    can do to help prevent and keep them from

    becoming victims of bullying. stated

    Daniel Hopler, Head Instructor of the

    Randolph Martial Arts Academy.

    Mr. Hopler will be presenting this semi-

    nar with his teacher, one of the directors of

    his martial arts association, American Budo

    Kai. Mr. Hopler has 22 years of experience

    teaching children, and his teacher has over

    40 years of experience teaching children.

    Both Mr. Hopler and his teacher have

    worked with children who have been vic-

    tims of bullying in the past, and they have

    extensive experience in self-defense and

    anti-bullying techniques.

    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.

    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.

    The Ritter Family, people who

    brought you Livingston Car Wash, is

    at it again. They recently opened

    Morristown Car Wash and revitalized the

    car wash experience with a high end hand

    wash, located in the center of Morristowns

    automobile district. The hand wash experi-

    ence takes car washing to the next level. Its

    an all new, state of the art facility with thelatest and greatest equipment the industry

    has to offer and the know how that only

    comes with 50 plus years experience. The

    facility is specially designed to accommo-

    date everything from todays sports cars to

    the classics of yester year.

    We take every possible step to ensure

    that your vehicle is washed in the safest and

    most gentle process possible. We prep

    every vehicle to ensure that any of the dam-aging particles that would possibly damage

    Morristown Car Wash Has Revitalized The Car Wash Experiencea vehicles finish are removed with high

    pressure prior to entering the tunnel wash

    process. We believe that the most efficient

    and safest way to wash a vehicle is by hand

    using mild detergents. Harsh chemicals candestroy the finish on your vehicle while

    stripping off protective waxes leaving the

    painted surfaces vulnerable to damage from

    environmental factors. After the vehicle is

    prepped for washing, thick mild detergents

    are foamed onto the vehicle and mitted in to

    lift the dirt off of the vehicle. Then the

    vehicle proceeds through the tunnel to

    receive any extra waxes to protect and shine

    the vehicle followed by a fresh water rinse.

    After the car passes through the finishing

    step in the tunnel, the blowers, the finish-ing employees towel dry the vehicle with

    microfiber towels and pressure blow the

    water out of the mirrors and thoroughly

    clean all windows.

    To see what else we do.and there is

    moreyoull just have to try us.

    By Elsie Walker

    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

    as the worlds biggest 50s

    party, to life for 32 years.

    Each year theres some-

    thing different for specta-

    tors 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 fromWednesday, 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 doo wop 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.

    I love this guy! said

    Cook.

    Cook shared that people

    will see Jangle every-

    where 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 jitter-

    bug, but a little more com-

    plicated. 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 tradition. 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 auto-

    motive-themed items andmore will be on sale. Also,

    the Military Transport

    Association will be set up

    among the outside vendors

    in front of the Hilton, col-

    lecting 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 dis-

    tributed during the holiday

    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 Parsippanyseason 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 fam-

    ily event and that is evident

    by the people who join in

    the tradition year after year

    and those just discovering it

    for the first time.

    S

    tuttering is a frustrating and embar-

    rassing problem for millions of peo-

    ple, but it can be especially tough on

    elementary school-age children. Help isavailable 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 DVDproduced 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 NorthwesternUniversity, 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 persistdespite research refuting these erroneous

    beliefs." The 38-minute DVD, entitled

    Therapy in Action: The School-age Child

    Who Stutters, produced by the 67-year-old

    nonprofit Stuttering Foundation is available

    free of charge to public libraries nation-

    wide. Other libraries that will shelve it can

    contact the Foundation at 1-800-992-9392,

    Apple Montessori is an established

    school celebrating its 41st year,

    serving infants, toddlers, preschool-

    ers and Kindergarteners ages 6 weeks - 12

    years (6 weeks - 6th grade). Presently, they

    have 17 locations including Denville,Randolph, Montville, and Morris Plains,

    NJ. They are family owned and operated

    since 1972 by the Bailey Family. They are

    the oldest and largest school in Northern

    New Jersey. Montessori is the largest pre-

    school, early childhood development organ-

    ization in the world. However, all

    Montessori schools are individually owned

    and operated and are therefore different.

    Montessori is a method and philosophy of

    teaching developed by Dr. Maria

    Montessori, who was the first female med-ical doctor in Europe at the turn of the cen-

    tury. There are several things that make

    Montessori different from traditional

    schools. First, they have special games and

    materials that have been made and designed

    specifically for young children. Each game

    teaches a particular skill through active

    hands-on involvement. A child learns the

    easiest and fastest from birth to six years of

    age than in any other time of life. The sec-

    ond characteristic that makes Montessori

    different from traditional preschool is thatthey allow each child to develop at his or

    her own pace. The child may go as quickly

    or as slowly as they may need to without

    any pressure. The child is not pushed to

    move ahead before he/she is ready. This is

    how they develop strong confidence and

    self-esteem. The child also learns that learn-ing is fun! Apple Montessori is different

    from other Montessori schools because they

    have a unique reading program which yields

    great success with their four and five years

    old students. Their primary reputation

    comes from the ability to develop academic

    skills and motivate young children to love

    learning. In addition, Apple Montessori

    School has brought computers into all of

    their classrooms and Fastracks, a computer

    enrichment program. They also have a

    unique classroom management style. Thisbecomes evident when you first enter a

    classroom and it is noticeably calm and

    organized. Their character development

    program offers children the knowledge nec-

    essary to cultivate ethical and responsible

    behavior while providing them with the

    tools necessary to their growth as responsi-

    ble caring individuals. A special guest

    comes in 3-times per year to offer advice

    on topics such as morals, values, how to be

    kind and polite, etc. Parenting seminars on a

    variety of topics are also sponsoredthroughout the year. Apple Montessori

    Apple Montessori Offers ClassesSchool is open year round. During the months of July and August, they have a summer

    camp program serving students ages 2 through 12. Several of their locations have a swim-

    ming pool and teach daily swimming lessons. The pool has been uniquely designed with

    safety in mind for young chi ldren. The shallow end allows all ages to stand in the water and

    develop a sense of security. In addition, the campers participate in activities such as Arts &

    Crafts; Nature & Science; Cooking; Music; Dance; Computers; and Organized Sports. Theolder campers also participate in weekly field trips. The camp program can be a half or full

    day schedule. Each location has half day session in the morning (8:30-11:30am) or after-

    noon (12:30-3:30pm) as well as a full day session (8:30am-3:30pm). Before and after

    school programs are also available. They are open from 7am - 6:30pm. Call the Apple

    Montessori School nearest you to arrange a visit or to observe a class. Visit their school or

    simply go to www.applemontessorischools.com and find out how many consecutive years

    90% of their students have scored in the top 10% nationally and how they are having the

    most fun in their lives!

    So your dog had an

    accident or your kids

    spilled juice or din-

    ner guests spilled wine on

    your rug and now youre inpanic mode. But no need to

    worry, most stains are treat-

    able if addressed quickly!

    First thing with any liq-

    uid stain is to blot it up with

    a damp paper towel as

    quickly as possible.

    Remember to blot not to

    rub it in (rubbing will exac-

    erbate the problem by

    pushing the stain furtherinto the carpet fibers).

    There are home reme-

    dies and old wives tales to

    get stains out of your carpet

    yourself but it is usually

    preferred you call J&S

    (973-605-5225), your local

    care specialist with the

    stain type, carpet fiber

    (silk, wool, or synthetic) if

    theres time. Otherwise try

    No Spot! Not On The New Rug!

    some of these tips:1. For solids, scoop

    them up with a spoon or the

    back of a knife

    2. Do not over wet the

    area, use a dry paper towel

    to blot dry the area once the

    liquid is picked up

    3. Always blot, never

    rub

    4. Always use white

    towels, any colored towel

    could just add dye to theproblem

    Following 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

    New York University. His work has been exhibited in more

    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 Michele Guttenberger

    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."

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

    Laboratory Library. Please visit The Thomas Alva Edison

    Rescue. She is a sweet, lov-

    ing young lady, approxi-mately 2 years old. She was

    rescued off the streets of

    East Orange. Battling for

    food and a safe shelter to

    birth her kittens, she lost her

    left eye, but you'd never

    know it by her personality

    since she doesn't let that dis-

    ability affect her demeanor.

    Allie must have had a fami-

    and kids. She lets you hold

    her, carry her and pet her.

    She is so sweet that she

    Chi Off Th Old Kl k

  • 8/11/2019 Randolph - August 2014

    32/44

    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 ofcrass.

    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 oftenfeckless 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 ahostile 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 and

    you'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'tbe 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

    Chips Off The Old Klockwhat 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 absolutelysure 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 to Speak at Temple Hatikvah Sisterhood Membership Kickoff Breakfast

  • 8/11/2019 Randolph - August 2014

    33/44

    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 a

    Jewish 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 tolife 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,

    Authors to Speak at Temple Hatikvah Sisterhood Membership Kickoff Breakfasthealing, 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 theywere 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 servesas co-pr
