A
Morristown-area musician shows that he is a patri-
ot and has a love for history by way of his music.
Jack Belles, a Morris Township resident who grew
up in Connecticut, is a fife player who is a member of the
New Jersey Colonial Militia music group, and the Colonial
Musketeers Senior Fife and Drum Group (of
Jack Belles
Morristown-Area Man A Longtime Performer
As Traditional Fife & Drum Musician
Hackettstown).
Belles, 76, heard colonial fife and drum groups as a child
growing up in Wallingford, CT. There is a great history of
these groups there perhaps the best in the world, and
Belles had the chance to take it all in before later joining the
Yalesville Ancient Fife and Drum Corp (Yalesville is a sec-
tion of Wallingford, CT).
He explained that in Connecticut, there are often 3 gen-
erations of musicians playing fife, for instance, in a fife and
drum band. This tradition does not seem to exist as much in
New Jersey, where, he said, boys may feel silly playing the
fife.
In the 1950s, growing up in Wallingford, Connecticut, he
saw marching bands and other musical groups in parades
and competitions, but the colonial fife and drum groups
were his favorite. He saidConnecticut has almost 100 colo-
nial fife and drum corps, and every fire department, in fact,
has a band, he said.
I was always into music, he said, adding that he was
not really into sports. He played with the fife and drum
corps in grammar school, high school and then college (he
attended Brown University,Providence, RI and later
became a research chemist, at which time he relocated to
New Jersey).
He said the rumble of the drums, the uniforms this
made him approach the directors of these bands to ask how
he could get involved.
And for decades now, he has performed and enjoyed his
time as a fifer in countless parades and events some quite
prestigious.
He plays an unmodified fife, which means it is a 2-
octave, 6-hole fife. Some others nowadays are embellished,
and have 10 or 11 holes. The music he performs is from
colonial and civil war periods and possibly other current-
day compositions if they are written by a respected and cre-
ative fife musician.
In the old days, the drums gave the command on the
battlefield, he said, adding that if they were lucky they
would have a fifer as well.
Belles knows and loves these traditions, and adds that
Im a very patriotic person, and he gets upset when peo-
ple do not salute the flag.
His love for these traditions stayed with him when he
relocated to New Jersey and he eventually tracked down the
New Jersey Colonial Militia, a group which performed usu-
ally in Newark, Rutherford, and Jersey City, for instance.
He became a member and later director for 25 years and he
said the New Jersey Colonial Militia takes precedent for
him, noting that "That is my parent group."
He said the New Jersey Colonial Militia has performed
at Cape Canaveral (known as Cape Kennedy from 1963 to
1973) and also performed from Maine to Florida, and as far
west as Michigan.
Belles also performed with the Colonial Musketeers

amily owned and operated Morris
Brick & Stone established in 1936, an
icon business in the community spe-
cializing in masonry building and landscape
supplies is proud to announce the Grand
Opening of a new showroom.
The new showroom is located at 94
Ridgedale Avenue, Morristown while the
yard and main office continues to operate at
108 Ridgedale Avenue, Morristown, New
Jersey 07960 behind the Mazda Car dealer-
ship, building # 6.
The new showroom is a 3,500 square-foot
state-of-the-art two-story brick building built
in federal architectural style to keep in preser-
vation of Morristowns heritage.
The showrooms first floor features a wide
selection of imitation and real thin veneer

stone. Thin veneer stone is perfect for interi-
or and exterior building applications such as
fireplaces, chimneys, accent walls, founda-
tions, etc
Thin veneer stone has emerged as a lead-
ing material in the building industry. With
hundreds of options available, thin veneer
stone offers a diversity of color and texture
that can be the crowning achievement to any
construction project.
The second floor showcases a wide selec-
tion of thin brick, full size brick, wall coping,
custom edges for pier caps, fireplace hearths
and mantles.
Morris Brick & Stone set forth a dream for
the new showroom to be a convenient loca-
tion for contractors, landscapers, consumers
and designers to come-in and have their
building needs meet in a technology-driven
and knowledgeable environment.
Comfortable sitting areas are available for
customer comfort to bring in photos and lap-
tops that will provide ease of discussion for
explaining the details of existing and/or
future projects.
Our goal was to build the nicest building
on the block, which we hope will set a new
standard for Ridgedale Avenue, Todd
Goldberg, Vice President of Morris Brick &
Stone Co. said of the building. Our business
is continuing to grow, and with this building
we hope to stay competitive for many years to
come.
One of the main benefits of the new
building is it will be visible to the 27,000 cars
a day which travel Ridgedale Avenue, thus
driving retail traffic. Todd Goldberg said.
The building was built by River Drive
Construction of Elmwood Park, New Jersey.
Were delighted to have worked on this proj-
ect for a number of reasons, said Joseph
Langan, President of River Drive
Construction. First is the quality of the
building: Morris Brick and Stone has chosen
a design with great elegance and style; and
second is the opportunity to work with a busi-
ness with such deep roots in the community:
it isnt often that we get to work with a fami-
ly-owned business that goes back more than
75 years

ndividuals with diabetes should
know that they need to be regu-
larly screened for complications
that can lead to vision impairment or
blindness. The American Diabetes
Association and the American Opto-
metric Association both recommend
an eye examination with pupil dila-
tion at least once a year to identify di-
abetic macular edema (DME) and
diabetic retinopathy, even if they
have not experienced visual loss. Di-
abetes is one of the top causes of vi-
sion loss for people under the age of
74 in the United States. Both DME
(retinal swelling) and diabetic
retinopathy (retinal damage linked to
diabetes) respond to treatment, espe-
cially if detected early. The longer a
person has diabetes the more likely
they are to develop retinopathy. In
addition, people with high blood
pressure and high cholesterol are at
greater risk for complications that
can lead to vision loss.
If you are between 10 and 29 years
old and have had diabetes for at least
5 years, you should have an annual
dilated eye exam. If you are 30 or
older, you should have an annual di-
lated eye exam, no matter how short
a time you have had diabetes. To
schedule an appointment for an eye
exam, please call 973-538-5287. Lo-
cated at 25 South Street in downtown
Morristown, we are available week-
days 10 to 6, Thursdays, 10 to 7, and

Senior Fife and Drum Group, of
Hackettstown, at the St. Patricks Day
Parade in Hackettstown this year. This
group started about 15 years ago he said.
Belles and the New Jersey Colonial
Militia have performed at Presidential
Inaugurations and many other events, in the
presence of Presidents Nixon and Ford, for
example.
And in the United States Bicentennial in
1976, they were in heavy demand, and they
made 98 appearances whether it was as a
full band or a few members performing as a
subgroup version of the band.
At 76, he said his legs are still strong
because of marching all these years. His
performing and marching in these parades
and events was a volunteer thing based on
his respect and love for colonial fife and
drum music.
We personally got paid not a penny, he
noted, adding that when they got a donation
they bought hats or equipment.
Were authentic with type of music and
uniform, he said, speaking of both the
Hackettstown andMorristown groups.
Let that tradition continue. And thank
you, Jack Belles, for being such a signifi-
cant musician in preserving this enjoyable
tradition.

or many years the Friends of the
Morristown and Township Library
have staffed a book room in the base-
ment of the library, pricing and selling donat-
ed books to benefit the library. Last fall,
they moved temporarily to the Gallery on the
second floor so that a much needed infra-
structure upgrade could be done.
Now they are pleased to announce that
construction is finished and they are back in
their lower level book room. Once again,
they are accepting donations of clean, timely
books; pricing and selling them on the first
and third Saturday of each month in
September through June and every Tuesday
all year long.
This was not the first time the Friends had
faced disruption of their book sales since
their first sale in October of 1954. Over the
years, because of new construction, closures
after damage to the building, or water leak-
age, the sales have had to be suspended or
moved to another venue several times.
Through it all, the Friends carried on, and
now they are about to begin their fiftieth year
of book sales in the room set aside for their
use by the library. Help them support your
library by dropping by to browse the shelves
for a rare old book, or a read-once copy of
one of your favorite contemporary authors
books. You may find a treasure hidden away
in the stock of over 12,000 books.

eniors Helping Seniors (SHS) is cur-
rently offering Gift of Independence
certificates in two-hour increments to
provide flexible and cost-effective care for
seniors who may be in the early stages of
needing assistance.
It is common for seniors to resist
accepting assistance from anyone outside of
family members and our Gift of
Independence certificates offer an excellent
opportunity to introduce our seniors-based
caregiving services very affordably,
explained Doris Dorey, co-owner of SHS.
Many caregiving companies charge a min-
imum of four hours for service which can be
much more than is initially required.
The Gift of Independence certificates are
an excellent way for adults who have senior
parents that need assistance to introduce
them to the unique caregiving solutions
offered by Seniors Helping Seniors. The
certificates could be presented as Mothers
Day or Fathers Day gifts which may serve
as an incentive to utilize SHS services.
An additional benefit to families is all
of our caregivers are seniors who can better
relate to the needs of older seniors who are
not always able to fully care for them-
selves, Dorey said. Our goals are to pro-
vide the right amount of care needed, have
our caregivers develop personal relation-
ships with our senior clients and enhance
their overall quality of life.
Dorey explains that SHS clients find
working with other seniors to be more com-
fortable because they understand and appre-
ciate the challenges of remaining independ-
ent. Our care providers know from their
own experiences how best to assist seniors
to manage a variety of non-medical tasks.
Additionally, our services often are more
cost-effective as they are designed to
address each clients individual needs ver-
sus charging for a standard minimum
amount of time.
A 2012 Pew Research Center survey
highlighted the financial burden and time
constraints Americans in their 40s and 50s
are facing. The study found that 47% of
adults aged 40-59 have a parent aged 65 or
older and are either raising young children
or financially supporting a child aged 18 or
older. In that same age group, 15% are pro-
viding financial support to both an aging
parent and a child.
Dorey cites several reasons seniors resist
Seniors Helping Seniors Provides
New Affordable Solutions to Assist Aging Parents
accepting care. No one wants to admit they
are no longer fully independent and cant
care for themselves, Dorey said. Among
the more common reasons involves some
form of loss loss of a spouse or partner,
memory loss or the thought of losing ones
privacy and overall independence. Any of
these types of changes can become over-
whelming to someone who has been living
without any additional support.
In addition to juggling the care of sen-
ior parents and children, adults often need
creative strategies in approaching their sen-
ior loved ones about accepting care for the
first time, Dorey said. In more difficult
situations, enlisting the help of profession-
als such as the seniors doctor, a clergy
member or other trusted friend may soften
the news that help is needed.
The services that SHS provides include
companion care, light housekeeping, per-
sonal care, transportation, over-night super-
vision, 24-hour care, house maintenance
and small repairs and yard work. In most
cases the care is provided in the seniors
own home; however, the client may reside
with a relative or live in an assisted living
community or other group living setting and
services can be provide there.
Another challenge can be recognizing
the signs that a senior family member can
no longer safely and comfortably care for
themselves. Memory impairments, changes
in mobility, mood and behavior, or erratic
sleeping patterns are all signs that help
might be required. Additionally, detecting
changes in diet, physical appearance,
household maintenance and driving habits
are clear signals that should not be ignored.
The staff at the Mayo Clinic offers sever-
al strategies for managing resistance to care.
These include: suggesting a trial run with a
caregiver; describe the experience in a pos-
itive way; explain balancing your familys
needs with theirs; try to understand your
loved ones point of view and feelings;
explain how care might prolong independ-
ence; and help them cope with the loss of
independence is not a personal failing.

Governor Chris Christie designated Friday, April 4th, as
CASA Child Advocate Day. CASA of Morris and Sussex
Counties recognized this day by engaging the community to
Go Blue by wearing denim to school or work. In
exchange for wearing blue, each participant donated $5 to
CASA. The goal of this event was not only to raise funds to
support daily advocacy for these children, but also to
heighten awareness of the plight of the most vulnerable
children in the community.
CASA of Morris and Sussex Counties trains volunteers
to work one-on-one with an abused or neglected child or
sibling group, advocating for each childs best interests.
Essentially, CASA volunteers speak up for these children
in the court and child welfare systems, making sure they are
safe and well-cared for, are receiving the services they
need, and are placed in permanent, safe, nurturing homes as
quickly as possible.
Go Blue for CASA Annual Event Raises $13,000
To Support Advocacy for Abused and Neglected Children
This month, Court Appointed Special Advocates of Morris and Sussex Counties (CASA) enlisted the help of local school districts, law
firms and businesses to raise money through its Go Blue for CASA fundraising campaign. Wells Fargo Advisors of Florham Park
contributed $1,440 to the fundraiser, which in total raised more than $13,000. These funds will directly support advocacy for children
in the foster care system. Shown above, Wells Fargo employees proudly don blue clothing and festive blue boas at work in support of
CASA. For more information about CASA of Morris and Sussex Counties, visit www.casamsc.org or call 973-998-7590.

n Saturday June 7th the West Orange National
Historic Park of the Thomas Alva Edison site will
celebrate Edison Day. This is a day of free admis-
sion and special programs for every age. The park has col-
laborated with West Orange partners to bring the largest
Edison Day ever! Included in Edison Day is recognition to
New Jerseys 350th anniversary. Edison Day guests can
attend the traveling New Jersey Hall of Fame Mobile
Museum. The Mobile Museum is the place where Bruce
Springsteen and Jon Bon Jovi get to share honors with
Thomas Edison in the NJ Hall of Fame.
Edisons innovations are still inspiring in the 21st
Century. Think electric car. Edison promoted the use of
electric cars using his batteries over 100 years ago. The NJ
Electric Auto Association be will be at the Edison Day
event. Attendees with get to meet and talk to real-world
owners of electric cars - get the low-down without the
media hype. Meet owners of Tesla, Nissan, Ford, Toyota,
Honda and more. Find out what it's really like to drive elec-
tric. The Electric Cars will be parading in at 11am and then
parade out at 4pm. Electric car drivers will be hanging out
all day where Edison kept his electric cars at his estate
home garage at Glenmont just a mile from the Edison labo-
ratory (check main visitor center for passes to Glenmont).
A tradition on Edison Day is recording music. Live
musical bands get to record their music exactly the same
way Edison did back in 1897 on wax cylinders. Four
groups of New Jersey musicians will record on 100 year old
phonographs. Attendees get to listen in and decide if it
sounds like the MP3 music of today.
We can only wonder what Edison would have thought
about this his lab and home in West Orange, NJ being a
National Historic Park site. Would he think it is a hoot that
a kid can earn his/her Junior Ranger badge and patch with
his name on it? Even though this park is a manmade won-
der, it still receives its own Junior Ranger park badge and
patch.
Edison Day is the perfect time to become a Junior
Ranger. Those who enrolled in the National Park Service
Junior Ranger program are happy to learn New Jersey has
12 National Park sites. Many have started their NPS Junior
Ranger patch and badge collection when they were young
children and now find an opportunity to continue their col-
lection again as adults. You are never too old to be a Junior
Ranger. There is a dedicated website for each Park.
Youngster or the young at heart can get a head start on the
Junior Ranger experience or extend it after visiting the park
site. To obtain the park badge there is a set of Junior
Ranger workbook activities for children from ages 5 and up
to complete to attain their badge. After they successfully
completed their list of activities they must take an oath that
they promise to share their knowledge with others and
enjoy and protect all National Parks. This recognition cer-
tificate is signed by a Park Ranger and presented to them
along with their badge.

ong a curiosity closed to the public, the Blairsden
estate in Peapack-Gladstone will include two land-
scape paintings by Todd L. W. Doney, professor of
visual arts at County College of Morris (CCM), when it
opens as this years Mansion in May.
Its a special honor to have my work on display in this
estate, which will be open to the public for the first time
ever this spring, said Doney.
The opulent 38-room Louis XIV style mansion in the
Somerset Hills was completed in 1903 as the country home
of Clinton Ledyard Blair, an investment banker. He also
was director of several railway companies, including the
Sussex Railroad and Green Bay and Western Railroad, and
a number of other corporations.
The Womens Association of Morristown Medical
Center sponsors Mansion in May each year as the preemi-
nent designer showhouse in the New Jersey-New York area.
More than 50 interior and landscape designers take part in
the event, which serves as a fundraiser for Morristown
Medical Center. Proceeds from this years mansion visits
will go toward an expanded pediatric intensive care unit and
new autism center at the Goryeb Childrens Hospital.
Doneys work at the estate consists of two large-scale
landscape paintings. They will be included in the room
being decorated by Broadfoot & Broadfoot, the gallery
which represents Doney.
Mansion in May runs now through May 31. Tickets to
the event can be purchased online at
www.mansioninmay.org/.
Doney, who began his higher education at a community
college, is widely known for his vivid Neo-Impressionistic
paintings of New Jerseys Great Swamp. His work, reflect-
ing the beauty and variety of nature accented by the bright
colors of the sun, most recently was on display at an exhi-
bition of New Jersey landscapes at Drumthwacket, the gov-
ernors mansion. Last year, he also held a solo exhibit at the
Morris Museum. He also has held one-person exhibits at
Broadfoot & Broadfoot, the Gallery MacEgan in
Morristown, the College of Saint Elizabeth, New Jersey
City University, Griffin Gallery in Madison and at the
Brickton Art Gallery in Park Ridge, IL. His works are in
public and private collections worldwide.
Doney earned his MFA in painting from New Jersey City
University. He joined the CCM faculty in 2011 and teaches
drawing, painting, portfolio and presentation classes at the
college.

T
he County College of Morris (CCM) Photo Club has
announced the winners of its second annual photog-
raphy contest for New Jersey high school students.
Winning first place was Callie Wohlgemuth of Morris
Knolls High School for Progress. Arthur Hunking of
Columbia High School took second with Femme de la
Soiree and Apoorva Rao of Bridgewater-Raritan High
School placed third with Barrier. Shoshana Geller of
Blair Academy won the Popularity Award, given to the
photo that received the most likes on the competitions
Facebook page, for the photo Chasing the Sun.
Honorable mentions were awarded to Dylan Faner of
Sparta High School for Erie, Meltem Saricicek of Sparta
High School for Power Mist, Sarah Sullivan of Mount
Olive High School for Edge of Sleep, and Stephen
Vocaturo of Sparta High School for Into the Beyond.
The winners were announced at an exhibition and recep-
tion held at the Morris Museum on Thursday, May 8. CCM
Photo Club members served as judges for the event. Of the
more than 800 submissions received from dozens of high
schools around the state, 36 were selected for the exhibi-
tion.
The quality of the work was overwhelming and mem-
bers of the CCM Photo Club had an extremely hard time
selecting the finalists, remarked Hrvoje Slovenc, the Photo
Club's adviser and professor of photography at CCM.
The contest was open to all New Jersey high school stu-
dents and this years theme was On the Edge, which
could be a physical edge, something trendy, an unusual
technique or a conceptual boundary.

ack in the prattle again. (Randumb brainburps not
ready for full-columnal treatment):
Why don't we use more unarmed traffic deputies to ticket
minor violations that don't require a full-fledged police offi-
cer? They could be paid with a portion of the fines, if and
when collected, would reactivate retirees and would render
justice to scofflaws.
In a similar vein, licensed and qualified Physician
Assistants might/could be a solution to the looming problems
of physician shortages, skyrocketing costs and hypochondri-
acs who game the present system.
Gotta wonder why we limit our Presidents to two terms,
but allow Sinators and Reprehensibles to remain in office as
long as they can fog a mirror, follow a party line, raise cam-
paign money and buss the butts of like-minded supporters.
A word to the wide: Regrettably (and unavoidably), it is
impossible for us to lose weight that we didn't first put on.
Inconveniently, this includes every unnecessary calorie that
we stuff into our mouths without promptly spitting it out.
The difference between charity and political patronage is
the same as that between the always-voluntary sharing of
wealth and its sometimes-arbitrary redistribution. Only the
former is inherently virtuous.
Love and hate are not opposite emotions; the flip side of
love is not hate, but indifference. Among the people who can't
understand that are those who have not observed their silver
wedding anniversary or had several siblings.
Undisciplined genitalia are, ipso facto, the facilitating
weapons of mass reproduction.
More power to the peepholes? Without whistle-blowers,
snitches and tattle-tales, all of whom are held up for scorn, our
system of justice would seem to tilt in favor of the guys in
black hats.
Query: What will happen in the land of the free stuff as the
Peters who are needed to pay the Pauls peter out and the Pauls
grow in both number and demands?
Money will buy you a dog with an impeccable pedigree,
but only love will make its tail wag.
A militantly confirmed bachelor once observed that mar-
riage brings music into a man's life, in that he soon learns to
play second fiddle at home.
Arachibutyrophobia is a word which designates a fear of
peanut butter sticking to the roof of one's mouth. Impress your
friends by casually working that into your next cocktail party
chit-chat! (If that fails to cower them, try hippopotomonstros-
esquippedaliophobia (fear of long words).
Ode to an unattractive call girl: "She mightn't be too come-
ly, and she may, in fact, be homely. But she's hell-and-gone
ahead of a cold and empty bed."
Pathway to wealth for the intrepid young: Buy income-
producing real estate with borrowed money (and expert
advice!), then let your tenants pay the debt down with depre-
ciated dollars.
"The truth, the whole truth and noting but the truth," which
is demanded of us-all when we testify in court, are elements
rarely combined in political oratory, courtship and barroom
banter.
Conservatives who don't like guns simply tend not to buy
them; liberals who don't like guns tend to want them to be
declared illegal. What say you?
A great American pastime: Stewing without doing (AKA
awfulizing.)
Reminder to those who blindly follow others: In a sled-dog
race, only the lead dog ever enjoys a change of scenery.
Steps toward plagiarism: 1) At the first usage of someone
else's material, specify: "As (name the source) famously
said......". 2) At second usage, change the attribution to: "As
someone once said......". Upon your third usage and forever
thereafter, make it: "As I've always said....."
Procrastinator's action plan: One for the money, two for the
show, three to get ready, four to get ready, five to get ready, six
to get ready, etc., ad infinitum.
Only in America could a driver's license or other valid ID
be required to cash a check or belly up to the bar, but NOT to
vote.
Few things in life are more satisfying than when we old-
sters see our children coping with teenagers of their own.
Among the things least useful to humanity (or hupersoni-
ty, if you're into political correctness) are your appendix, alge-
bra, the Social Register, cockroaches and the Kardashian sis-
ters.
Exhortation becomes extortion, and an offer becomes a
rip-offer, when "just pay additional shipping and handling"
more than doubles the cost of an Internet-huckstered product
and reduces the "guaranteed refund" to a relative pittance. Do
the math before you take the bath!
Th-th-th-th-that's all, Folks!* (Until the next dump of over-
flow trivia.)
Pee-Ess to you young-uns: If you DON'T remember Bugs
Bunny on "Looney Tunes," never mind!

Ice Cream Cupcakes
Yield: 18 to 20 cupcakes
Cupcake liners
1 1/8 cups all-purpose flour
1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup butter, softened
1 cup white sugar
1 egg
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 cup brewed coffee
1 container Blue Bunny Caramel Fudge Brownie Sundae,
Vanilla or your favorite Blue Bunny flavor
Decorations (such as sprinkles, cupcake skewers, cherries)
To make cupcakes, preheat oven to 350F. Place cupcake
liners in cupcake pan. Sift together flour, cocoa, baking
soda and salt. Set aside. In medium bowl, cream butter and
sugar until light and fluffy. Add egg and vanilla and beat
well. Add flour mixture, alternating with coffee. Beat until
just incorporated. Fill cupcake liners about 1/3 full to allow
for ice cream. Bake for 10 to 15 minutes or until toothpick
inserted comes out clean. Let cupcakes cool. Using round
ice cream scoop, scoop out rounds of ice cream and set on
baking sheet in freezer. Once ice cream scoops are frozen,
carefully place one into each cupcake and top with fun dec-
orations.
Summertime Sweets - Cool Down with a Delicious Ice Cream Treat
F
ew things beat a cold beverage on a
hot day. When time is of the essence,
there are ways to cool down bottled
or canned beverages quickly. Individual
bottles can be wrapped in a wet paper towel
and stashed in the freezer for a few minutes.
However, if you will be having a party and
want to get beverages ready for the crowd,
create a salty ice bath. Salt does not actual-
ly make water colder, but it will suppress
the freezing point of water. That means
water can become much colder -- and retain
that temperature -- without freezing over to
ice. If no salt were added, the coldest the
water would reach would be 32 F. By
adding salt, water can get as low as -6 F.
This means items submerged in a salty ice
bath will get colder much more quickly. Fill
a cooler half-way with ice. Add the bever-
ages until they are covered by ice. Then add
water until the ice is submerged. Mix in
table salt or rock salt to suppress the freez-
ing point of the water. After 10 minutes or
more, the beveragesshould be icy cold.

he Knights of Columbus, Council 5410, based in
Flanders, NJ, will host a blood drive in co-ordination
with The Blood Center of New Jersey, on Saturday,
June 7, 2014. The event will take place at the council hall on
3 Schmitt Lane, in Old Flanders (across the RR tracks from
the Flanders Fire Dept). Thebloodmobile will be available

a dime. No one likes to think about bad things happening to
good people, but sometimes they do. People have accidents
or become ill and must rely on both expertise of the medical
community and the generosity of volunteer blood donors
who take the time to give of themselves for others. Blood
donors must be at least 18 years of age (17 if a signed
parental permission slip is provided- forms available
through the BCNJ). For regular donations weight needs to
be 120 pounds or more, for Alyx (2 units of red blood cells)
males must be 5ft 1inch, weigh at least 130 pounds, females
must be at least 5 ft 5 inch tall and weigh at least 150lbs.
Donors must have their social security number with them
and a signed or picture form of identification. Questions on
eligibility can be address directly with the BCNJ nursing
department at 800-652-5663 Ext 132, general questions on
the blood drive can be addressed by calling 973-676-4700.
