Tistheseasontobebusy,helpingthosein thecommunitywithmen-
tal illnesses.The Mental HealthAssociation of Morris County in
MountainLakesheldaThanksgivingDinnerlastmonth,andearli-er thismonth hosted a homeless outreachevent to provide services to the
homeless.
These services, however, provided by the MHAMC is not
seasonal but rather all year round. More awareness is needed
about the MHAMC so people in the community can takeadvantage of the free services provided through the non-profit
organization.
The Mental Health Association of Morris County wants to
increase awarenessin thecommunity about whothey are, what
they do and the services they provide.A big part of its missionis to reduce the stigma associated with mental illness.
"Often people have a negative viewpoint of those withmental illnesses," says Louis A. Schwarcz, president and CEO
of MHAMC. "People of mental illnesses can live in societyand have a normal life. They don't have to live in jails or shel-
ters. We want to create an environment where people are sup-
portive of mental illness.Founded in 1953, the MHAMC is a 501C3 non-profit
organization that works to promote mental health awareness,prevent mental illnesses, and improve thecareand treatment of
people in recovery from mental illnesses through programs of
education, direct service, and advocacy.
Some of the current services include information and refer-
ral, homeless moutreach, supportive housing, consumer
empowerment, peer to peer support mline, and disasterresponse. All services are funded through state, county and
federal dollars as well as fundraising events.Through nearly a dozen programs, Schwarcz says

community service on North Frontage Road inLanding. Troop 188 is in charge of cleaning the

County who have a mental illness or otherproblems.
With more state dollars recently approved,Schwarcz says the program is nowbeingexpanded to help people discharged fromGreystone ParkPsychiatric Hospital in Morris
Plains to provide them with support for hous-ing and services so they can "stay well in thecommunity."
"When a person is sitting in a psychiatrichospital, feeling lonely,
dejected and hopeless, it is the MHAMCstaff that approach them with a hopeful mes-sage," says Schwarcz in a recent newsletter."It is the MHAMC worker that tells them thatthey need not despair, that they can have theirself-esteem and their standing in society byleaving thehospital andmoving into theirown
community apartment."The MHAMC recently hosted a
Thanksgiving Dinner on Nov. 19, from 1 to 4p.m. at the Community Church of MountainLakes. More than 100 people that includedmental health consumers (any individual whoconsumes mental health services), ConsumerAdvocacy Program (CAP), Social Club andother agency programs enjoyed turkey, greenbean casserole, stuffing, gravy, rolls, mashedpotatoes, cranberry sauce, and pies.
"The Thanksgiving Dinner was both theSocial Club program and ConsumerAdvocacy Program," says Christa Simons,MHAMC director of Education and
Advocacy. "It's a combined event each year.Individuals from the Social Club are alsomental health consumers who come from allareas with the main goal of increasing social-ization.
"Mental illness canbe very isolating so this
program helps them connect with other indi-viduals who have mental illness and socializewithin their community," says Simons.
It is a "one day, one-stop event" wherelocal service providers, or businesses sponsorthe homeless to share information on how tolink them to housing, food, medical services,diabetes screenings, flu shots, housing, socialsecurity, legal advice, haircuts, domestic vio-lence, substance abuse, and more, explainsLisa Falcone, director of Homeless OutreachServices through MHAMC.
"We serve food; we make it a happy day, ahopeful event," says Falcone. "It's been suc-cessful because it helps so many peoplein oneday."
Falcone says "we are the lead agency butwe join other agencies in the county so weshow unity as one goal to help the homeless."
In 2010,MHAMC providedoutreachserv-ices to 735homelesspeople. Outof those peo-ple, 47 of them who have a mental illnesswere housed. "When a personis homeless in atrain station, talking to themselves, pacingback andforth in obvious despair,when allthepeople around them walk uncomfortablyaway from them, it is the MHAMC staff that
Mental Health... does not walk away from them, but actuallywalks toward them," says Schwarcz in arecent newsletter.
A major fundraiser by MHAMC is theannual food event- 10th annual Food ForThought- scheduled for June 4, 2012, from 6p.m. to 9 p.m. - at theBretton Woods Mansionin Morris Plains.
Over the years, Food for Thought hasgrown to be one of Morris County's premierfundraising events with many of the area'sfinest restaurants offering a "taste" of theirdelicious and diverse cuisine while raisingawareness and vital funds for the MHAMCprograms and services.
NJ State Senator Richard Codey and his
wife are invited as "guests of honor"of the10th anniversary event given their sincereadvocacy efforts and support to the mentalhealth community.
"Food for Thought is our opportunity toreflect and celebrate the positive impact thatwe have on the Morris County mental healthcommunity," say organizers.
"We encourage people to call us or checkout our website," says Schwarcz, "to learnmore about our support so they can livehealthy lives in the community. "Peopleshouldn't lose hope. There is a place wherepeople can turn to cope, recoup and recover."

Ok, so admittedly, Im a nut about yoga. I love hand-
stands and will pop upside down anywhere at any
given moment. Quite frankly, Lisa (my sister and
Janices Corner
Learning To Fallbusiness partner) is probably getting a little tired of round-
ing the corner in the office and seeing me inverted!
Recently, Ive made it my goal to try and accomplish a
handstand, in the middle of the room, unsupported. Its
ambitious for me and requires not only strength and proper
alignment, but a type of fearlessness and trust in my own
body. The first two Im getting better at. The third,
hmmmwell, lets just say, Im learning. To go upside
down without a wall behind me, or a person to spot me,
makes the handstand an entirely different experience.
In an effort to accomplish this, without killing myself, Ive
been taking a few private sessions. Today, I walked into
my hour at the studio and said with great bravado, I want
to learn how to fall. I knew it was a critical part of the
learning process on the path to this goal and I was ready to
take it on! The teacher, who happens to be a friend, lookedat me skeptically (as she often does) and then after the first
half of our session decided to humor me (as she often does).
Pick a side. She said. Really? I thought. Maybe, Im
not ready for this. After all, Im in my forties, Im not great
at balancing my handstand away from the wall, I didnt
even have lunch yet! Every excuse I could think of was
suddenly racing through my head. Instead I what came out
of my mouth was, My left.
So there I was, kicking up into handstands and making
an effort to topple to my left. The teacher told me, You
have to decide in your head which way youre falling beforeyou even go up. Ok, back up a second there. That one did-
nt sit well with me, simply because it was assessing and
conceding failure even before the attempt. But I get the
importance of acknowledging potential (and in this case,
probable) collapse, its the plan thats going to keep me
safe. And after all, this was my idea to begin with! So over
and over I went. And to tell you the truth, I wasnt quite
getting the hang of it. It was new, I was a little apprehen-
sive, and quite frankly, the look on her face was a good indi-
cator as well.
So why am I thinking of this as a life lesson? Its sim-
ple. We all have to learn to fall if we want to help save our-
selves from greater injury.
The biggest fall Ive ever taken in my life was when my
mother died. Next month will mark the twenty-fifth
anniversary of that life-changing event for me. It wasnt
just a fall, it was a catastrophic, twisting, horrific crash.And I didnt get to pick a side before it happened. I was
fully unprepared. In that moment, I began the process of
learning how to fall, because, up until that moment, I didnt
know how.
My mom was the center of my universe. It took me years
to reassemble my heart after her death. Still more years on
top of that to put it all into a place where I could just breathe
again and trust that the world wouldnt cave in with every
breath. And many years after that, I only started to under-
stand that this was part of life. My mothers passing forged
me to become more resilient, more focused on savoring thecontinued on page 16

moment and most importantly, it made me
truly appreciate the beauty and the value of
EVERY relationship I engage in.
When my dad passed away eight yearsago, I was ready for the fall. I didnt want
him to leave us, but I was prepared. And
having already chosen my side, it made
me more awake to his presence in my life. I
experienced the time I had with him so
fully, that when it was time for him to go,
there was sadness, but there was sweetness
as well. I knew what we had together had
been good.
I know theres much more falling to do
in life, little tumbles and big hurtlingplunges, but Im getting better at being
more prepared and I think this helps make
each recovery a little easier and the lessons
a little clearer.
We always hear about getting back up
after being knocked down, and thats cer-
tainly an enormous part of life. But learn-
ing how to fall with grace is what failure
challenges us with every time.So, did I learn how to fall properly out of
my handstands? Not quite yet. In an effort
to keep me in one piece, my teacher helped
me to see that I wasnt really ready for that
next step yet. Its a little humbling knowing
youre not even ready to fallin the inter-
im, Ill just take my place solidly at the
wall, flip up onto my hands and savor the
view of an upturned world.

It was Thomas Edison who gave the
world electric Christmas tree lights andfestive outdoor lighting manufactured
from the Edison Illumination Company.
Edward H. Johnson was both a partner and
friend of Edison and was also the VicePresident of the Edisons Illumination
Company. Johnsons home became the first
home in 1882 to have electric tree lights.
But a few train commuters got to see an
electric light show a few years before theJohnson family tree was lit. In 1880, these
same strands of electrical lights were strung
around the outside perimeter of EdisonsMenlo Park Laboratory. Lucky New Jersey
train passengers got to experience the
worlds first electrical Holiday light displayas the trains traveled pass his laboratory
location.
The first electric Christmas tree at the
Johnsons home had a patriotic color
scheme of red, white and blue and it alsorotated.
The American public was not eager to
use electric lights for their trees because
they feared the safety on this new technolo-
gy. It took a President to start an American
electric tree lighting tradition. In 1895,
President Cleveland had the White Housefamily Christmas tree illuminated with elec-
tric light bulbs. The tree was decked withhundreds of multi-colored lights.
Although electric Christmas tree lighting
may have taken over forty years from its
inception to become an American house-
hold tradition, this was not true with thephonograph industry. Realizing the love of
recorded music in American households
(another holiday tradition), was discovered
by accident. In 1890 Edison's Talking Doll
with a pre-recorded cylinder became a mar-keting marvel. It was the first home enter-tainment prerecorded sound device. The
talking doll industry proved to be a disaster
with more broken dolls returned than sold
making the Edison Phonograph Toy
Manufacturing Co a short lived venture.However, it helped inspire the launch of a
new market for the household phonograph
and record industry.
By 1902, having a record phonograph
and prerecorded music in your home was on
the To Santa Wish List for many American
Thomas Edison Brought Modern Day HolidayCelebration to the American Household
households. In 1902 Edison had perfected
his music cylinder records with the Edison
Gold Moulded Records, an improved hardblack wax cylinder that could be played
hundreds of times before wearing out. This
music was brought to the American house-
hold through Edisons recording studio in
New Jersey. It is this studio that concentrat-ed the USA recording industry in the New
York City - New Jersey area, making it the
record capital of the nation.
Another American Holiday tradition is
watching Holiday themed movies. This isstill another credit we can give to Thomas
Edison. Besides a recording studio in NewJersey, he also produced cinema at the New
Jersey movie studio in West Orange. This
studio was affectionately nicknamed the
Black Maria and was erected in 1892. Oneof the first family Christmas movies was
produced by the Thomas Edison Company.
It was the Charles Dickens' 1843 classic
novel A Christmas Carol which was
released for the 1910 Holiday Season.Technical limitations forced this story to be
condensed into a 17 minute film. However,
the special effects were the pioneering mas-
tery of double exposure techniques.
Today you can still visit the recordingstudio, see the Talking Doll, watch a silent
movie or tour the outdoor movie studio at
West Orange, NJ where so many modern
American holiday traditions were started.

New Jersey Blood Services (NJBS), a
division of the New York Blood
Center (NYBC), is calling upon the
communities it serves to please donate
blood. Donations of type O-negative areparticularly needed immediately. While
NJBS calls upon blood donors to help
achieve its goal of a 5-7 day supply of all
types, healthy people of all blood types andethnicities are also encouraged to donate to
help save lives.
People with O-negative blood are known
as universal donors because their blood
can be transfused into anyone. Type O-neg-
ative blood is found in just 6 percent of thepopulation, but is used more often by
patients with other blood types, especially
in 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 organize
blood drives, a process that teaches commu-nity service and leadership skills, and
engages the surrounding community. Todate, about 600 elementary and middle
schools have sponsored Little Doctors
Program blood drives. NYBC and NJBS
also offer scholarships for high school and
college students who initiate and coordinate
successful community blood drives.Donating blood or organizing a blood
drive can be a thoughtful way of honoring
or remembering someone special within the
community. Over the years, hundreds of
blood 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 at
www.nybloodcenter.org.
