    ow that its in the history books,members of the Randolph High

    School girls soccer team can lookback on their season with a sense of pride

    and accomplishment. Not just because theyfinished with a strong overall record of 13-4-2 and won the Morris County TournamentChampionship, but because they played thegame with courage and a belief in one

    another.The Rams also advanced to the NJSIAA

    North I Group IV Sectional Tournamentwhere defeated on penalty kicks by Cliftonin the quarterfinal round. The Rams downed

    North Bergen, 9-0, in the opening round of

    the Sectional Tournament.Montclair won the North I Group IV

    Sectional crown and Lenape captured theState Group IV title. It was the fifth straight

    Group IV State title won by Lenape, a SouthJersey powerhouse, as they topped Ridge,2-0, in the State championship game.

    When she reflects upon the season,Randolph head coach Colleen Suflay has a

    vast amount of positive memories that shesable to relate with specificity.

    The season itself has been filled withgreat excitement, learning and growth for

    the team,Suflay said. They were fantastic

    at developing their own individual talents

    and coming together as a single unit. Thegames that provided the greatest amount of

    resources to pull from were Westfield,Mendham and Kinnelon. All three gameswere great lessons for learning and growth.

    Westfield specifically provided the girlsan opportunity to see that they could findsuccess outside of the conference and coun-ty. Mendham provided the understandingthat they could comeback, perform and

    excel in an elimination game to a team whohad previously beaten them and Kinnelonbecause the girls had to focus, maintain dis-cipline and perform at a critical time of the

    year.

    In general, the Rams squad progressedin right direction as the season advancedand Suflay is especially pleased with theconduct of the seniors on the roster.

    All of the players grew as the seasoncontinued, Suflay said. They amassed agreat sense of pride within themselves andgave selflessly to their team. I am particu-larly impressed with the senior class-

    Ashley Mariconda, Leanne Manning,Taylor Lusardi and Maria Meizoso.

    The success that we had this seasoncame from the units that played together on

    the field. The defense, midfield and for-

    Randolph H.S. Girls Soccer Morris Country Tournament Champs!wards all showed tremendous improve-ment.

    NOTES: Randolph defeated Kinnelon,

    2-0, in the championship game to earn theMorris County Tournament title. TaylorLusardi and Alexa Roemer tallied goals inthe second half of regulation for the Rams.Maria Meizoso recorded both assists in the

    winning effort. Melanie Durbin was theshutout winner in goal for Randolph..Inthe semifinal round of the Morris County

    Tournament, Randolph edged Mendham, 1-0, in the second session of overtime on agoal from Roemer. Durbin preserved the

    shut in net for the Rams..The Ramswon in the quarterfinal round of the MorrisCounty Tournament, 2-0, over Chatham.Anna Conklin and Stephanie Gonnellascored the goals in the first half of regula-

    tion for the Rams and Durbin was theshutout winning goalie.

    Imaginativefabriccraft projectsby fourMorris Countyartisans areshowcased in a new book exploring the world of Jewish fabriccraftsand theinspirationbehindthis inspiredwork.Called "Jewish Threads: A Hands-On Guide to Stitching

    Spiritual Intention into Jewish Fabric Crafts" (Jewish LightsPublishing), the 288-page book presents 30 fabric craft proj-ects, created by talented artisans from throughout the UnitedStates and Israel.

    Compiled and written by Diana Drew with RobertGrayson, both of Randolph, "Jewish Threads" delves into thebackstory of each of the pieces spotlighted in the book--howand why they were made and what sparked the idea for eachone. The artisans whose work is presented in the book freelyshare the influences in their lives that prompted them to cre-ate the pieces contained in this treasure trove of Jewish fabriccrafts.

    Donna Gross of Randolph created a poignant

    peace/shalom art quilt for "Jewish Threads." Also featured inthe new book are handmade holiday puppets by Lesley Frostof MorrisTownship and Dancing Hamantaschen costumes byEllen Muraskin of Morris Plains and Marcy Thailer ofDenville.

    World peace is very much on the mind of Donna Grossthese days because her older son, Philip, is serving inAfghanistan. "He is a captain in the Army Green Berets andthis is his second tour of duty in the Middle East," she notes."He was in Iraq the first time for eighteen months. Not a daygoes by that I do not pray for his safe return." Donna'syounger son, Michael, also served in the Army Green Beretsin Afghanistan, earning a Bronze Star for his valiant actions.

    He is now pursuing his education in Texas. "I am proud ofboth my sons for who they are and the fine young men they

    have grown to be," says the fabric artist. Her peace/shalom artquilt embodies her fervent hope that other mothers will nothave to send their children to war.

    In addition to her peace/shalom art quilt, Gross created a

    beautiful apples & honey challah cover for Rosh Hashanah(the Jewish New Year), based on a design she created for theNational Council of Jewish Women (NCJW), West MorrisSection, quilted chuppah (Jewish wedding canopy). Both herpeace/shalom wall hanging and her apples & honey challahcover are featured in "Jewish Threads."

    When her children were young, Lesley Frost created a setof five hand Purim puppets as a mitzvah project for her syna-gogue's Hebrew school. "My idea was to create fabric handpuppets that a mother and child could make together and thenplay with to reenact biblical events and stories," she notes. Anative of the United Kingdom and a teacher, the fabric artistbelieved that children learn by doing. The puppets she

    designed represent each of the key players in the Purim story--Queen Esther, Mordechai, Haman, Queen Vashti, and KingAhasuerus.

    In line with the fun-filled Purim spirit, the members ofAdath Shalom synagogue in Morris Plains, who work on thePurim shpiel (Yiddish for "play") every year, came up with"Dancing Hamantaschen," or "Hamantaschenette" costumes,with an eye toward elevating the general merriment of Purim.The actual costume designers, Ellen Muraskin and MarcyThailer, wanted to give their Purim shpiels some added piz-zazz, and the response from the Purim revelersboth theshpiel attendees and the players themselveshas been wildlyenthusiastic.

    Author Diana Drew spent a year and a half sifting througha myriad of projects from throughout the United States and

    Israel, choosing those that reflected deep-rooted connectionsto Jewish heritage and contemporary Jewish life. Each projecthad to have a compelling story behind its creation, and fit inwith the overall concept of the book as both a volume of sto-

    ries about artisans' spiritual intention in making these craftsand a how-to book for novices as well as more experiencedneedle crafters.

    "Jewish Threads" is designed to motivate readers to fash-ion some of the traditional ritual items as well as more con-temporary pieces included in the book--individually or ingroups--by offering easy-to-follow, step-by-step instructionsat the end of each of the stories about the fabric artists andtheir spiritual intention. Most of the projects are relativelysimple, and make wonderful gifts.

    Readers are encouraged to draw on their own life experi-ences to give the pieces they make a distinctly individual flair,a one-of-a-kind feel. So the book can serve as a springboard

    for readers' own imagination and creativity.A special "Inspirations" section includes five stories about

    fabric craft projects that inspired the author to write the book,including the quilted chuppah (Jewish wedding canopy) cre-ated collaboratively by members of National Council ofJewish Women (NCJW), West Morris (NJ) Section, of whichDrew serves as co-president.

    "Jewish Threads" craft projects range from wall hangingsfor the home to shulchan (lectern) covers for the synagogue,whimsical pieces for celebrating holidays, and meaningfulcraft projects to honor milestones in the Jewish life cycle, andhealing and memorial quilts. Some of the crafts presented in"Jewish Threads," such as challah covers like Donna Gross's,

    have roots in Jewish tradition, while others, including Lesley

    share, wants others to let her be an angel ontheir shoulder.

    When it comes down to it, it seems most

    people today just need some good old com-mon sense, and to use it to give them direc-tion and perspective. People arent surewhat to do, what the expectations are, theconsequences. Basically Paula wants tohelp by being a gyroscope within the murky

    matters of family and friends. She feels itsbasic self improvement, development of areasonable moral compass, good standardsand norms for civility and good living.There is so much power here thats unreal-

    ized. Paula wants to assist you in getting it,

    you choose as you do. Why do we have to

    be super-everything? Whats wrong with

    saying I want to be a great Mother? Buildyourself a good foundation and one for yourchildren. Moderation, thats the key.Manage your own house before you start tolook into someone elses.

    Paulas persona is one of a good NewJersey Housewife and a creative spiritworking to get things done, or at least getthings moving. Putting family first and not

    your career, building traditions and familycenteredness, nurturing and nourishingbuilds emotional intelligence. Isnt thatwhat parents want, what they are supposedto do? Too many times we try to live

    through our children. Children need to find

    who they are and how they want to be inthis world, its a parents position to facili-tate that.

    Is your house not as orderly or as spic

    and span as you would like? Paula adviseson how to take control of this, in short order.You dont need to spend hours or slave, shewants to help you be organized, coordinatedwith color and style, and queen of your

    domicile.Not sure how to be healthy, not sure how

    to cook or prepare and present lovelymeals? Paula wants to be your guru on this

    as well. There are ways to eat, foods you

    Paula Soles Common Sensecontinued from front page should eat and those you should not that

    assist with beauty and good looks. Whenyou know this, you are beautiful both insideand out.

    She says to try the recipes, teach yourchildren to cook while explaining nutrition,

    table manners and table arrangement. Turn

    to Paula and find her tips, tricks, and hints

    between the pages of Common Sense.She wants to pass what she has found towork to those who are looking.

    New Jersey Blood Services (NJBS), adivision of the New York Blood

    Center (NYBC), is calling upon thecommunities it serves to please donate

    blood. Donations of type O-negative areparticularly needed immediately. WhileNJBS calls upon blood donors to helpachieve its goal of a 5-7 day supply of alltypes, healthy people of all blood types and

    ethnicities are also encouraged to donate tohelp save lives.

    People with O-negative blood are knownas universal donors because their bloodcan be transfused into anyone. Type O-neg-

    ative blood is found in just 6 percent of the

    population, but is used more often bypatients with other blood types, especiallyin emergency rooms and trauma situations.

    We must remember that the need for

    blood is constant. Hospital use of bloodproducts remains high -- due to surgeries,emergencies and care of cancer patients.About one in seven people entering a hospi-

    tal needs blood.With the school season well underway,

    NJBS would like to encourage students,teachers and faculty to please organizeblood drives, a process that teaches commu-

    nity service and leadership skills, andengages the surrounding community. Todate, about 600 elementary and middleschools have sponsored Little DoctorsProgram blood drives. NYBC and NJBS

    also offer scholarships for high school andcollege students who initiate and coordinatesuccessful community blood drives.

    Donating blood or organizing a blood

    drive can be a thoughtful way of honoring

    or remembering someone special within thecommunity. Over the years, hundreds ofblood drives have been dedicated to stu-dents, faculty and community members.

    To donate blood, please call toll free at 1-800-933-BLOOD (2566). For more infor-mation, visit the Web atwww.nybloodcenter.org.

    Tis The Season To Be Stressedby Kearstin Saya, L.Ac.

    T

    he holidays are meant to be full of love, cheer

    and spending time with family and friends.

    Despite the joyful picture that the media por-trays of the holidays, everyone feels the extra stress

    leading up to all of the events. All of the hoopla

    that goes along with the holidays can put extra pres-

    sures on us physically, mentally and financially.

    During the last few weeks of the year we are often

    overbooking our schedules with shopping, holiday

    parties and event planning. This also entails more

    traffic on the roads, waiting in longer lines and rush-

    ing to make our engagements on time. With all of

    these added activities and inconveniences, our nor-

    mal routines are disrupted, making us less likely to

    exercise, eat healthy and ge t the adequate rest that weneed. This lethal combination can lead to stress, anx-

    iety and depression. A combination that prevents us

    from feeling the love and good cheer and can even

    make us resent the holiday traditions and prevent us

    from taking part in the festivities.

    The hectic lifestyle that we live leading up to the holi-

    days goes completely against the Acupuncture and

    Chinese medical perspective, which believes that we

    should actually be conserving our energy during the win-

    ter months. Much like most of nature goes dormant in the

    winter; we should actually be resting more during the cold

    months. Instead, we do the exact opposite and exhaust our

    internal energy reserves leaving us anxious, stressed and

    depressed.

    Anxiety and stress manifests differently in each one of

    us and ranges from mild reactions like worry to moresevere symptoms like nausea, insomnia, shortness of

    breath, palpitations and panic attacks. During a stressful

    situation, our bodies react involuntarily. The nervous sys-

    tem responds by releasing different stress hormones like

    Cortisol and Adrenaline, engaging the bodys fight or

    flight response. In ancient times, this was an advantage

    for survival when stresses included fleeing from wild ani-

    mals that could kill you. The fight or flight response is

    a process that triggers an increase in heart rate, blood pres-

    sure and respiration. So, this response was necessary for

    survival and could actually save your life. The senses are

    also heightened as a response. Unfortunately, thisresponse still kicks in from stress that we experience in

    everyday life that may not be life threatening. Things like

    traffic, an angry boss or a family fight is much different

    than getting chased by a hungry bear, but our bodies invol-

    untarily respond in the same way. The repeated activation

    of these involuntary processes puts great strain on bodies.

    From an Acupuncture and Chinese medical perspec-

    tive, anxiety and stress is related to an imbalance of ener-

    gy in the body. In a healthy person, energy flows smooth-

    ly throughout the body. Healthy people experience differ-

    ent emotions everyday, which is a normal part of life. No

    one can escape being stressed, worried, angry or sad at

    certain times, but it is when these emotions are too intense

    or when they are prolonged over a long period of time that

    they disrupt the balance of energy within the body and

    become the cause of disease. This is especially true if theemotions are not expressed and are kept inside for a long

    period of time.

    Signs & symptoms of an overactive response to stress:

    - Anger - Anxiety - Asthma - Depression - Depressed

    immune system - Digestive disorders - Headaches - Heart

    disease - High blood pressure - Joint pain - Weight prob-

    lems

    If you are someone who experiences any of the symp-

    toms above or is simply just stressed out...there is hope.

    Acupuncture and Chinese medicine has been helping peo-

    ple to cope with stress for thousands of years. It can help

    to balance the mental and physical symptoms of stress,anxiety and depression. Acupuncture and Chinese medi-

    cine aims at treating the root cause of the issue, as well.

    Best of all, it is a safe, effective and drug-free treatment!

    In addition, here are some ways to help combat stress

    this holiday season as well as in your everyday life

    throughout the year:

    1.) Manage your stress with Acupuncture & herbs!

    Acupuncture and herbs reduce stress hormones like

    Cortisol, relax muscle tension and help restore the bodys

    balance so that your body calms down and even responds

    better to stress in the future.

    green veggies helps your body to stay

    healthy and deal with stress better. Daily

    exercise also helps to reduce Cortisol lev-

    els and increases the levels of the happy

    chemicals in the brain.

    6.) Beat Stress With Positive Thinking!

    Your conscious mind can help to control

    the way that your body responds to stress-

    ful situations. Instead of getting down on

    yourself, repeat affirmations like I am

    fully capable of handling the obstacles that

    cross my path and nothing can stand in my

    way. Repeating positive affirmations also

    reduces the levels of Cortisol that are

    released from the adrenal glands.

    7.) Write Your Stress Away. Writing in a

    journal can help to get your feelings on

    paper, relieving any built up tension.

    8.) Have Fun! Do something you enjoy

    or watch a funny movie. Laughing releases

    the feel good chemicals in the brain.

    2.) Get enough sleep! Try to get at least

    8 hours of restful sleep. Our bodies handle

    stress much better when we are well rested.

    3.) Start your day with meditation. Youdont have to be an expert to meditate... but

    here is a simple technique that will only

    take a few minutes a day. Inhale slowly for

    10 seconds, pause, then exhale slowly for

    10 seconds. Repeat for 5-10 minutes each

    day. You can also play calming music to

    enhance relaxation during your meditation.

    Meditation calms the nerves, reduces the

    release of stress hormones in your body

    and prevents adrenal exhaustion.4.) Drink your stress away....with Green

    Tea this is! Green tea reduces Cortisol, the

    hormone that your body releases in

    response to stress.

    5.) Boost your mood with Diet &

    month old Wirehaired Terrier Mix and looks and acts like he could

    the right time for you to adopt, then please take a look at adopting

    adoptable pets, to see our upcoming events, or to make a donation,

    This is Mack from Eleventh Hour Rescue. He is a young Pit Bull

    Terrier mix puppy, abandoned and found as a stray. His ears

    appeared to have been badly cropped perhaps by an unscrupulous

    owner wanting to use him as a bait dog for fighting. Fortunately,

    this little chunky monkey of a puppy is now under the care of

    Eleventh Hour Rescue and he is currently at the newly opened

    Adoption Center at the Mount Olive, NJ, PetSmart store. He is

    all puppy and all about playing with his toys. Hes a very active

    young boy on the go and will need lots of fun, love, and play time

    wherever he gets adopted. Hes so cute; weve nicknamed him

    Mac n Cheese. To read more about Mack, to see all of our

    adoptable pets, to see our upcoming events, or to make a donation,

    please visit: www.ehrdogs.org or call: 973-664-0865.

    Heres Charlotte and Rosie from Eleventh Hour Rescue. Both

    girls are Shepherd mixes and they are still puppies at just under 1

    year old each. They are sisters and both came from a neglect sit-

    uation where they were left unattended outdoors 100% of the time,

    in the mud, and in an undersized pen all alone. Charlotte has the

    short hair, Rosie has the longer hair. Both girls are very sweet and

    are 30-40 lbs. Both are very affectionate and enjoy the company

    of people. They do not have to be adopted together. If now is the

    time for you to open your heart and your home, please read more

    about these wonderful girls on our web site: www.ehrdogs.org or
