O

n November 11th, 2013, Randolph

Middle School held their annual

Veterans Day Celebration. It was aday where students honored, remembered

and celebrated those who served our coun-

try. Students had the opportunity to meet

with veterans whose service ranged from

WWII to present day. Event coordinator

Doreen Madalian continued These class-

room visits gave RMSstudents an insight

beyond a history book lesson but more

importantly gave students a chance to say

"thank-you" to those Veterans for all they

have done. The middle school sidewalks

were lined with American flags and yellowribbons were tied to the trees near the build-

ing. We began day the with Taps played

over the loud speaker as Veterans saluted

the flag. From there Veterans joined class-rooms and students rotated through (3) 30

minute question&answer sessions with dif-

ferent veterans. Guests from Joint Bases

McGuire/Ft Dix/Lakehurst and Picatinney

Arsenal were in attendance as well as our

own Family Veterans. Additionally some of

our students were able to Skype

Afghanistan, speaking with Major Mike

Hill, and all students wrote thank-you let-

ters/cards to veterans. Brunch concluded

the celebration. PTO Moms and Dads made

our brunch possible through their generous

donations.

of John Yarrington and the choir of FirstUnited Methodist Church in Little Rock. Wehave sung with the chancel choir at FirstUnited Methodist Church of Newton for 14

years. The sad part about performing togeth-er is that, while we always had leading rolesin shows, we rarely played opposite eachother as love interests because the tenor usu-ally gets the soprano, not the alto! saidKathleen Meredith.

A father-daughter duo will be taking thesoprano and bass soloist parts. For MollyYoung, this will be the third time that shehas done the Messiah with her father, theRev. David Young.

I always have a great time performingwith my dad. He has a wonderful way of

bringing humor to any situation and I neverget stressed out when he's on-stage with me.I grew up listening to my parents singingtogether all the time, and they've alwaysbeen a huge inspiration to me as a musi-cian, said Young

Currently living in Maryland, Youngperforms as a soloist and chamber musician.Solo appearances include Mozart'sRequiem, Vivaldi's Gloria, Charpentier'sMesse de Minuit and Bernstein's ChichesterPsalms. She can also be heard on theGrammy-nominated recording of Brahms'

Ein deutsches Requiem produced by theMiami-based ensemble Seraphic Fire withthe Professional Choral Institute. She has

performed with the Concert Artists ofBaltimore, The Washington Chorus,Peabody Opera Theatre and the AmericanOpera Theatre, most recently as the title rolein the world premiere of the staged version

of Melissa Dunphys Gonzales Cantata. Sheholds degrees in voice and early music fromWestern Michigan University and thePeabody Institute of the Johns HopkinsUniversity, where she studied with sopranoPhyllis Bryn-Julson. Young sings for theprofessional choirs of the Basilica of theNational Shrine of the ImmaculateConception and the National Cathedral inWashington, DC.

Her father is pastor of the FirstPresbyterian Church in Newton. DavidYoungs musical background includes a

Bachelor of Music in vocal performancefrom The College of Wooster in Wooster,Ohio, and a Master of Music in vocal per-formance from The University of Maryland,College Park. In addition to recitals andconcerts, David Young has also had leadingroles in musicals such as Jekyll and Hyde,The Secret Garden, South Pacific, and Manof LaMancha.

Another family that loves to sing togeth-er is the Iliffs. Both singers in the choir atFirst United Methodist Church in Newton,John Iliff and grandson Thatcher Iliff will

also be together in the Messiah. John Iliffwill be in the choir, while Thatcher Iliff willbe in the choir and solo on The Trumpet

Messiah...Shall Sound.

I have always had a passion for singingand have auditioned for various shows likeThe X Factor, American Idol, and The Voice.I was voted class vocalist in high school

(Newton High School) . I have performed inmany plays throughout the years, including,but not limited to,,Maximus in A FunnyThing Happened on the Way To The Forum(Sussex County Community College), Samin The Wedding Singer (Sussex CountyCommunity College), Danny in Grease (TheTheater Company in Hoboken), and TheWolf in Into The Woods (County College of

Morris). I sing with my church choir period-ically. I played trumpet for six years andhave recently been trying to teach myselfguitar and piano, said Thatcher Iliff.

He also shared that he loves singing with

his grandfather, .My grandfather is a hugerole model in my life and time spent withhim is always fun.

And so, the choir and soloists are readyand the program must go on Sunday,January 26th at 4:30pm. The First UnitedMethodist Church of Newton is handi-capped accessible and a free will offeringwill be taken.

By Elsie Walker

They say that pictures

tell a story. The

images in Carol

Barrys banners certainly do

that. However, unlike the

traditional types of banners

which are fabric, these are

paintings. Barry, a Byram

resident and a retired Mt.

Olive Township art teacher,

has created works which

recall stories from the Bible

as well as works which

challenge people to think

about the world and faith.

Barry will be showing and

talking about her works at a

fundraising dinner on

February 1st at 5pm at

Stanhope United Methodist

Church at #2 Route 183

Main Street in Netcong.

Tickets are $5 per person

and can be obtained through

program coordinator Sharon

Rosequist at 973-527-4927

or the church office at 973-

347-0247. Funds raised will

benefit the church.

Local Artist to Show Works at Church Fundraiser

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

The banners that Carol

Barry paints are a beautiful

pictorial rendition of the

Bible. They are absolutely

beautiful, and each one isvery unique. Each time you

look at them, you notice

something that you did not

see before, and they are

very thought- provoking.

She is a very talented

artist, said Rosequist, a

Netcong resident.

Barry has been painting

banners for about 20 years.

She was inspired by the art-

work shed seen in smallchurches and cathedrals

around the world. She saw

the inspiration that artwork

can give others and wanted

to do something for her

church, the First

Presbyterian Church of

Stanhope. What resulted

was a series of banners

done on a type and size of

paper that makes it easily

portable. Encouraged byothers, she has started to

show her work at other

churches.

Barry will be showing

two of her most recent

continued on next page

works at the fundraising dinner: What

Gifts Are in Your Hands? and a pictorial

walk through the Old and New Testament.

[What Gifts Are In Your Hands] leads

to a discussion about all the gifts God gives

to each one of us, said Barry. [The one

depicting] a walk through the old and new

testaments - starts with the trinity taking

part in creation. It includes some of the

major stories that I also have in two other

paintings, but also highlights many other

events. It ends with the New Jerusalem,"

shared Barry.

I set the painting up, discuss the inspira-

tion for the theme and the design, and then

go through the images. I usually get ques-

tions and comments during and afterwards.

I love sharing my work and especially enjoy

their reactions. I have not aggressively

sought places to go, but God is opening

doors. I rather leave it to Him, Barry said.

A question Carol Barry frequent hears is,

how long did it take you to do that?

Local Artist...Looking at Barrys artwork, it is not surpris-

ing that people ask, though the answer may

be more surprising.

The thought process takes the most

time, said Barry. She notes that it may

take up to a year for an idea to become fully

formed in her mind, though the actual paint-

ing takes far less time. Barry doesnt work

from sketches; the paintings themselves

form concretely in her mind.

While enjoying Barrys works and the

dinner, those attending will also be helping

the Stanhope United Methodist Church.

The funds raised will go to the general

account of the church to help it with its

everyday operating expenses. However, the

funds are not the only benefit.

The Rev. Tom Kinter, pastor of the

church, shared, A fundraiser like this event

helps the church in a couple of ways beyond

just raising funds. It is a time of fellowship

and invitation for the community and

church to come together. So, we always

have good food at church events. We have

time to just to be with people. [Its] a great

time for the community to join the church in

a relaxed setting and to get to know one

another.

right thing-your whole family will cheer

him on! The Growing Stage is bringing

Hubie's daydreams alive through the use of

state-of-the art film techniques, while his

real-life struggles are brought to life on our

Now that the holidays are over it is

time to rebalance your stuff.

January tends to be a low-key

month for most people. This lends itself to

starting off the New Year right by givingproper closure to the holidays.

Holiday Dcor Items - Before putting

away your holiday decorations, take a criti-

cal look at what items you love and which

ones you continually pack up for the next

year but do not use. Donate or toss the items

that have not been used in 2 years. Pack up

and label the items you plan to keep, num-

ber the boxes and keep a list of: box num-

bers, contents and storage locations to refer-

ence next year.Returns - Keep a bag or bin in your car

with your post-holiday returns (including

gift receipts).

Gift Cards - Gift cards often go unused

because of being forgotten or lost after the

holidays. Keep them in a plastic zip lock

Getting Organized After the Holidayspouch in your purse or car for easy access

when you are out and about.

In with the New, Out with the Old -

Assess the new items you have received and

take a critical look at your existing items.Decide which of your older items can be

gotten rid of through donating, re-gifting,

etc.

Thank you notes The holiday gift-

receiving season is a great time for kids to

learn about being thankful and polite. It is

an opportunity for them to learn to write

thank you notes for the gifts they receive.

Take advantage of the relative calm of

January by finishing off your holidays in an

organized manner use this time to

regroup after the holidays and start your

2014 off right.

Did you know that the fair market rentfor a two-bedroom apartment inMorris County is $1,289 per month?

In order to afford this apartment, a householdwould need to earn over $51,000 per year. Atthe New Jersey minimum wage of $7.25 anhour- thats 135 hours per week, 52 weeks ayear!

The cost of housing and the severelyreduced job market is turning homelessnessinto a reality for more New Jersey familiesevery single day.

Often homelessness is associated witholder people or people with drug or alcoholabuse problems. However the average age ofa homeless person in the United States is six

years old.According to a study done by the UnitedWay in Morris County the poverty rate -income of $20,000 or less for a family of four- is 4 percent. However $60,000 is the mini-mum annual salary required for family of 4 toafford the basics of self-sufficiency: housing,child care, food, transportation, and healthcare

Households with incomes in the middle ofthat range are considered Asset Limited,Income Constrained, Employed (ALICE).They are working individuals and/or familieswith an annual income of between $20,000and $60,000; not enough to be financiallyself-sufficient. In this economy many ALICEhouseholds are walking a financial tightrope,

unable to afford the states high cost of livingand just one emergency from falling intopoverty.

What is important to understand is that

ALICE represents men and women of allages and races who get up each day to go towork like you and me, but who arent sure iftheyll be able to put dinner on the table eachnight. They are our child care workers, ourmechanics, our home health aides, storeclerks and office assistants all workers wecannot live without. It may sound hard tobelieve but more than half of all jobs in NewJersey pay less than $20 an hour equaling$40,000 annually.

The good news is that in New Jersey thereis an organization, Family Promise of Morris

County, committed to ending homelessnessone family at a time.Unique in its approach to the ever growing

crisis of homelessness, Family Promise part-ners with more than 75 congregations of dif-ferent faiths and 1600 of their congregants toprovide shelter, overnight staffing, breakfast,lunch and dinner to its families in need. Thededication and commitment of all these part-ners makes Family Promise of Morris Countythe most cost-effective shelter program in thecommunity.

This economic efficiency allows the non-profit to direct the majority of funding to theneeds of families and the operating modelprovides an opportunity for community par-

T

he Morris County

Sheriff's Office is

considered a special-ty organization which pro-

vides services to all munici-

palities in the county - and it

does so with expertise and

efficiency.

Undersheriff Richard A.

Wall, Bureau of Law

Enforcement, and other

officials from the sheriff's

office met with the

Morristown News last

month, offering an insidelook at the impressive facil-

ity that they run. This story

is the second in an ongoing

series about the Morris

County Sheriff's Office, and

it highlights the Emergency

Services section of the sher-

iff's office.

Undersheriff Wall

offered a tour of the Barbara

Ridder-Irwin K-9 Facility to

start with, and it proved tobe quite clean and comfort-

able for their dogs. The

facility is equipped with

special training equipment

for the dogs, as well as aheated housing area with

heavy duty safety fencing.

Wall said the original

facility was built with no

taxpayer dollars, and Sgt.

Mark Chiarolanza said the

K-9 unit has seven officials,

with an eighth serving our

country in Afghanistan.

Ridder-Irwin, a Harding

Township resident, donated

$80,000 toward the project,and others donated services

and/or materials toward the

construction of the facility,

including Paul Cullen

Plumbing, John Crimi, and

Greg Spitzer, and Walter

Morris.

The dogs will live

healthy, long lives in this

top-notch facility, and they

will be ready for their work

out in the field. They will

provide a great service to

the county by sniffing out

drugs, explosives, and fire

accelerants, and help offi-

cials secure many situationswhich would otherwise be

even more dangerous with-

out the help of their dogs.

The K-9 facility was

designed with the best prac-

tices kept in mind - many of

which were suggested by

"Seeing Eye" of Morris

Township. The K-9 facility

features an air circulation

system which keeps their

living quarters clean and inbetter condition than per-

haps what many homeown-

ers can offer to their dogs,

and it also features small

doors at one end of their

pens that allow dogs to get

outside for fresh air.

Officials can easily clean

these pens and hose down

floors when the dogs are let

outside.

In the end, the K-9 dogs

get first-class treatment so

they can be at their best for

their work in the field.

Next, Chief WarrantOfficer Howard Ryan

offered a tour of the

Evidence Processing

Facility, and adjoining lab,

where intricate work is done

on crime scene materials

and evidence. Sheriff

Edward V. Rochford called

Ryan one of the greatest

crime scene investigators in

the northeast.

Ryan and his team of

experts determine results

associated with everything

from bullet fragments, fin-

gerprints, DNA samples,blood samples, and much

more. Ryan also serves as

an educator for law enforce-

ment officials around the

nation.

This is a great benefit to

Morris County municipali-

ties, which can send their

officers to class "in county"

- instead of having to pay

for airfare and lodging so

officers can attend class on

the west coast or in the

south, for instance. Police

chiefs in Morris County

municipalities also do not"lose" their officers for, say,

a week, because they had to

travel a long distance for

such a class.

Ryan said the Morris

County facility is state-of-

the-art, and the top-notch

equipment and intricate

processes that are the norm

here, could certainly be

equally baffling and impres-

sive both at the same time to

an individual not familiar with this line of

work.

Det. Jamie Rae offered insight on the

Mobile Command Center and the Mobile

Crime Lab, which provide sheriff's officeofficials with a safe, excellent communica-

tion network and portable crime lab while

out in the field. The Mobile Crime Lab was

funded by a grant from Homeland Security,

and allows sheriff's office officials to

process evidence quickly and effectively in

the most pressing emergency situations.

Doug Laird, who will be commander of

the bomb squad unit come March,

explained how their technical equipment

helps them effectively process bomb

threats, suspicious packages, and muchmore. A super-heavy-duty "containment

vessel" allows the squad to remotely deto-

nate a bomb inside it and even sample any

harmful chemicals it would otherwise emit

freely into the air.

As with all facets of the sheriff's office,

officials go through intense training to per-

form these duties in the field at an expert

level. Indeed, the Sheriff's Emergency

Response Team also secures hostage situa-

tions, and performs high-angle rescues, just

to give a few more examples of their work.Det. Sgt. Phil DiGavero explained the

process of organizing, securing and protect-

ing every piece of evidence that enters the

evidence management facility. He demon-

strated how the state-of-the-art computer

network and manual processes ensure that

each piece of evidence is documented, pro-

tected and ready for official access - andonly under the most secure conditions.

Det. Sgt. Michael Puzio offered insight

on the different types of warrants that the

sheriff's office will process, adding that offi-

cials in this division are out on the beat as

well a great deal of the time. Countless tel-

evision shows have mimicked the work

done for real in this and other divisions of

the sheriff's office.

"We are the enforcement end of the war-

rants," he said.

Next, a tour of the Legal ServicesDivision was offered. This division serves

legal documents, such as summons which

initiate a lawsuit. Official court documents

are overseen and enforced within this divi-

sion of the sheriff's office.

Det. Phillip Mangiafridda, offered a final

glimpse of some of the operations within

the sheriff's office: he demonstrated the

benefits of the "Faro" scanner, which can

scan and provide a superb video document

of a crime scene.

The scanner is secured in a chosen cor-

ner of a room, for instance, and it will cre-

ate a high-definition visual account of this

Morris County Sheriff's Office...continued from page 16 crime scene.

When the scanner is, for instance,

secured then in the opposite end of the

room, it will complete its visual account of

the crime scene.

Law enforcement officials will now havea superior and comprehensive 3-D video

document of a crime scene - one which they

can now "move through" and "view" from

any imaginable angle. This technology aids

officials in solving some of the most trou-

bling cases - murders, suicides, and aggra-

vated assaults.

In last month's tour of the sheriff's office

facilities, it is evident that all if its officials

are impressed with Sheriff Rochford's high

standards, thorough ways, and his desire to

constantly improve. Rochford himself islikewise impressed with their specific areas

of expertise and is proud to have officials

with the strongest of qualifications.

Be on the lookout for additional stories

on the Morris County Sheriff's Office.

ticipation that is not available in a traditional shelter setting.Family promise volunteers and their families open their con-gregations, schedules, wallets and their hearts to the familiesbeing served.

For Crystal, finding Family Promises was a life changing

event. We had no place to live, she said. Thats a hard truthto accept, especially for a parent. For Crystal, a single motherwith two infants and pregnant with a third, the move into theFamily Promise of Morris County Emergency ShelterProgram was not only a place for her family to live but also aplace for them to thrive.

Crystal became homeless after her grandparents were nolonger able to continue to helping her and her growing fami-ly. After coming to Family Promise, staff and volunteers pro-vided her with financial literacy education, support in com-pleting her high school equivalency diploma, and help sortingout all those issues that come with motherhood. I didntknow theyd do that, she said. I thought it was just a placeto sleep.

Crystal began working full time while living in the shelter.In addition, she completed her GED program and received herhigh school equivalency diploma. Equipped with some newlife skills, enjoying the sense of accomplishment that comesfrom achieving ones goals and dreams, and benefiting fromthe on-going support of Family Promise, Crystal is now look-ing to further her education. Just recently, she began theprocess of enrolling in nursing school.

What sets Family Promises apart and what Crystal discov-ered is that its not just a place to sleep its a place to begin anew life.

Like Crystal, many of the Family Promise success storiescan be linked back to its volunteers, people like Lance and

Nancy Kraai and a group of other volunteers that included ateacher and some young mothers with small children. All ofthese volunteers worked with Crystal for 18 months to helpher develop new skill sets which would allow her to thriveindependently. The group focused key areas, such as generallife, financial and, just as importantly, parenting skills.Crystal has been on her own since she was 14, explainedLance. She never had the chance to learn parenting within afamily. Its hard to learn discipline with children when younever had any. What is proper discipline for a 1-year-old, a 5-year-old?

Nancy said that, as a child, Crystal saw her sister removedfrom their home by state authorities. In her young mind,

Crystal concluded that her sister was taken because she criedtoo much. As a mother, he said, Crystal was determined that itwould not happen to her children and she did whatever shecould to stop them from crying. Working with the Adopt-a-Family volunteers, Crystal learned how to discipline in loveas a parent, said Nancy. She is an awesome mom she justneeded some help.

Since leaving the Emergency Shelter Program, Crystalsdays are filled with her new job caring for an elderly personand getting her children to school and day care. It was a boostfor my confidence, she said of her time at Family Promise.That was hard for me, I didnt have confidence. It is still hardfor me. But Crystal didnt leave the shelter alone. Family

Promises Community Support Program staff still supportsher efforts to move forward. I tell people that my time in theemergency shelter was good for me and my children, shesaid. My children had clothes, toys and had new people tomeet. The shelter for a woman my age with children is a safeplace to live.

Now 25, Crystal said there was one very important lessonshe learned while at Family Promise: I have big plans for myfamily, she said. I realized that when I am 30 or 40, I wouldnot be able to live the way I was living. Family Promise is somuch more than a place to sleep: it is a home base, a safe placefor children, a place where parents can stop a moment andbreathe, assess lifes challenges and opportunities, and make a

plan for the future; it is a community of supporters, teachers

continued from page 15

Finding A Different Way... and friends.According to the Annual Homelessness Assessment

Report the top five contributing factors to homelessness(AHAR 2011) are a lost job/cannot find work: 34.7 percent;eviction: 34.2 percent; housing costs too high: 28.5 percent;relationship/family breakup or death: 23.8 percent; domesticviolence: 17.8 percent.

Often people are blindsided by one of these events andthey need time, sometimes a lot of time to get back on theirfeet. Family Promise of Morris County allows its families tostay in the shelter for as long as they need to get back on theirfeet. For some that may be a couple of weeks; for others, sixmonths or a year. Many traditional shelters have time limitsthat can force families to find other temporary shelter beforeaccumulating enough resources or completing the necessaryeducation and training to obtain gainful employment andindependent housing. By not imposing a hard line time limiton residents Family Promise is able to ensure that families arewell prepared and in a position to secure a permanent place inthe community.

Families in crisis need time to develop the skills to navi-

gate the trauma of homelessness and begin the transition from

poverty to long term self-sufficiency. This involves thingsmost people may take for granted, such as obtaining basic ID,developing resources like a support system, and most impor-tantly feeling as if they are worthy of success, said ExecutiveDirector, Joann Bjornson. Family Promise of Morris Countyfocuses on the families resilience and natural strengths to cre-ate individual goal plans that empower everyone with oppor-tunities and choices.

Family Promise of Morris County is a non-sectarian, not-for-profit organization dedicated to ending the crisis of home-lessness faced by Morris County families by partnering withother public and private agencies, religious congregations andcommunity volunteers to provide shelter, case managementand mentoring services leading to self-sufficiency.

Family Promise of Morris County values community vol-unteers and relationships. Anyone wishing to offer time utiliz-ing their skills and interests, volunteer as a family, or to sup-port long term self-sufficiency for local families with a finan-cial contribution, may contact Joann Bjornson, ExecutiveDirector, at 973.998.0820 or [email protected]

On February 1st, from 10am to 4pm,the word on eveyones lips in theMeeting Hall in Olde Layfayette

Village will be lace. It is the 29th annual

Lace Day, presented by the Lost Art Lacers ofNorth Jersey. For many people, lace is some-thing that you buy from the store, readymade,and add to items such as handkerchiefs, wed-ding gowns, and valentines to give them aspecial look. However, the lacers are keepingalive the tradition of making handmade lace.And, through Lace Day demonstrations, exhi-bitions, try me tables and workshops, theywill be sharing that tradition with childrenand adults.( Workshops will be held onFebruary 2nd as well as the 1st. Pre-registra-tion is needed for all workshops. See the links

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

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

Dotty Wolfe, of Stanhope, has createdpieces of jewelry and embellished collarswith her lace. Wolfe got into lacemaking at

the encouragement of a neighbor who was alacemaker and wanted to keep the tradition

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

A lacemaker for about 35 years, Lee Dalyof Newton will be a jack-of-all trades on Lace

An original lace tulip design by Lee Daly of

Newton will be one of the pieces on display at

By Cheryl Conway

Candy gets eaten and flowers will die. But a love song

in ones ears will linger in ones heart and carry on.

The Morris Music Men- Morris Countys premier barber-

shop harmony chorus- will be singing quartets in celebra-

tion of Valentines Day. Each February the non-profit group

offers Singing Valentines as a way to raise funds.

On Thursday, Feb. 13, and Friday, Feb, 15, men from the

chorus will be singing love songs at any location through-

out Morris County. For $50, a quartet of men decked out in

tuxedos will serenade sweethearts, office staffers or clientsat work, home, restaurants, or just about anywhere in

beautiful four-part harmony. The package includes a beau-

tiful long-stemmed red rose and a special Valentines Day

card.

Singing Valentines are a unique way to say I care! as

stated in a press release. Customers will not only be send-

ing love through song but will be helping to support the old

barbershop style of singing.

This is one of our major fundraisers, says Terry Scullin

of Morristown, president of The Morris Music Men. All

proceeds are allocated to the non-profit organization to pay

for expenses such as hall rental and director fees.Its a style of singing that we are trying to preserve and

perpetuate, says Scullin, 73. Trying to keep that sound

alive is important to all of us. Songs are delivered in four-

part harmony- tenor, lead, baritone and base- acapella, bar-

bershop style.

The Morris Music Men chorus and its affiliated quartets

are part of the international 30,000-member Barbershop

Harmony Society. About 20 men throughout Morris County

meet weekly to rehearse. Most of the men are 60 years old

or older; the youngest member is a recent college graduate.

For the Valentines fundraiser, about 12 of the men from

the group will be split up into quartets and travel through-out the county to deliver Singing Valentines. Each group

will be singing two simple love songs: Let Me Call You

Sweetheart and Heart of My Heart.

Those songs were selected because every barber-shop-

per in the world knows those songs, Scullin says.

Last year, Scullin recalls traveling more than 200 miles

to sing quartets for the Valentines fundraiser. As a group,

there were 35 requests for Singing Valentines, of which

Scullin performed 16 of them.

We can be out from 9 a.m. to 9 p.m., says Scullin, who

has been singing Valentines with the group since 2005. It is

a huge amount of fun doing this, and it raises money to

Capture Your Valentine With Love Songs By Quartet Singerskeep the chorus going.

Its a little scary at first, says Scullin, singing with

three different guys. But once he hears the applause and

sees the expression on his customers face,, his time singing

is worth every song.

One of his Valentine gigs that stole his heart was a 97-

year old woman who bought a singing Valentine for her 92-

year old companion. Each lost their spouse and met each

other at a senior exercise class, describes Scullin. While his

quartet was singing to them, the companions just held each

others hand and looked at each other.

All of this is so much fun, says Scullin, who sings

tenor. Its a great, great fun thing to do. Ive always loved

music but never been able to play anything. Im a klutz

when it came to playing piano or guitar. But using vocals is

different. Its just such a joy to sing; to sing in front of oth-

ers and get applause, even learning the music. Its just a

great deal of fun. You are with a bunch of wonderful people

sharing a hobby.

The Morris Music Men is currently one of the finalists in

the Morristowns Got Talent Contest. It is one of 16 final-

ists out of 70 acts that will be performing at the Mayo

Performing Arts Center in late February.

Other performances have been at local

assisted living places, The Cliffs in East

Orange, Morris View Nursing Home. In

August, the group gets together with other

chorus groups and sings at the SomersetPatriots Baseball Game.

Another big fundraiser hosted by Morris

Music Men is an annual concert in October

at Drew University Concert Hall.

Scullin has been singing in the group

since 2002, when he retired as a copy writer

for BBDO Advertising agency in New

York. His participation stems from the love

of singing.

There are very few of us that are profes-

sional singers, says Scullin. I sing in the

shower and sing along with the radio.Other members of the chorus have sung in

their church choirs or in high school or col-

lege.

We are all amateurs but we all enjoy

singing and acapella harmony, he says.

Most of the members cant even read music,

says Scullin, so they learn through tapes and

CDs with words and listening rather than

reading music.

Scullin has also branched off and per-

forms in a separate organized quartet, The

Four Old Parts, which is open for bookings

to sing at birthday parties, senior or libraryevents. Call 973-540-1648to inquire.

To reserve a Singing Valentine or for

more information, call 973-625-2842; or

email svdavid.sipple @gmail.com.

Deadline to order is Tuesday, Feb. 11, at 9

p.m.

The chorus meets Tuesday evenings at

Gloria Dei Lutheran Church in Chatham

and always welcomes new singers. No

experience necessary; free singing lessons

are provided. Learn more atwww.morris-

musicmen.org.Funding has been made possible in part

from the Arts Council of the Morris Area

through the New Jersey State Council on

the Arts/Department of State, a Partner

Arts.

Day, managing the event, teaching and demo-ing. Winner of many ribbons at the SussexCounty Farm & Horse Show including theMiriam Forbes Award for Excellence inLacemaking( twice), Daly will be showing

her original design of a tulip and demonstrat-ing bobbin lace and needle lace.

Bobbin lace, also called pillow lace, isworked with bobbins which are wound withthread. Pairs of bobbins make stitches on apattern called a pricking and pins are insertedinto the pricking to hold the stitch until thelacemaker gets further along. The pins arethen pulled out and the design stays. Bobbinlace had also been called bone lace becausethe bobbins used to be made from bone,explained lacer Pat Morris of Franklin.

Also, exhibiting bobbin lace will be Clara

Eastby of Franklin and Mary McGuinness ofDenville. A ribbon winner at past state fairs,Eastby will be showing a Tonder bobbin lacebookmark and Schneeberger silhouettes ofGerman Smokers. McGuinness will beexhibiting some pieces and demonstrating aTorchon bobbin lace pattern. She has wonribbons at the New Jersey State Fair for thelast two years and the Miriam Forbes Awardfor Excellence in Lacemaking in 2008 andagain in 2013

For those who want to try at a hand at it,workshops will be available for children and

adults to be introduced to the art of lace mak-ing. In addition to Lee, others who will beteaching include Morris and Barbara Saltern.

Saltern, from Nazareth, Pennsylvania, whowill be teaching an adult beginners class, hasbeen making lace for almost 20 years andreceived the best of show award a number ofyears ago at the Blue Valley Fair and wonthird place twice at the International

Organization of Lace, Inc. convention,Morris will be teaching a childrens work-

shop (choice of making a bracelet or book-mark) and an adult class.

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

All three originated in the same geo-graphic area. Flanders is a beautiful designthat looks like wicker caning and uses eightpair of bobbins to form the stitch.Schneeburger comes from a German area and
