Read All About ItNewspapers Toy/Clothing Drive Goes Viral
By Cheryl Conway
he organizer of a
local toy/clothing
drive realized the
true meaning of if theres a
will theres a way this past
holiday season when wish
lists were answered just in
time for giving.
Mary Lalama, co-publisher of MJ Media newspapers spent weeks collecting
toys and clothing in conjunction with area businesses to help those in need in
the local area but when she
went to donate her collected
items she found the shelves
of her expected recipients
already filled by other
organizations who also had
drives. But as last minute
unexpected calls came in,
Lalama was able to donate a
good portion of the items to
specific families, putting
smiles on little faces and
even cookies in some hungry bellies.
One woman, pregnant
with her fourth child and
financially struggling after
her husband lost his job,
called Lalama inquiring as
to whether any gift cards to
stores were donated. At that
point Lalama had received
hundreds of toys and bags

helped tremendously by volunteering their services.
of clothes but no gift cards.

Well, someone must have
been tuned in to that phone
connection because sure
enough the following day
Lalama received from a
local business owner, who
requests to remain anonymous, four $100 gift cards
to Shoprite and Kohls
Department store.
Lalama passed on two of
those gift cards to the pregnant woman and the other
two gift cards to a single
mother of two girls and a

boy, who had also called
looking to receive donations. When that pregnant
mom texted Lalama from
the grocery store letting her
know that she was using the
gift card to buy ingredients
to bake cookies for her kids
over the holidays, Lalamas
heart melted.
In addition to the gift
card, Lalama passed on a
ton of boy baby clothes
that were donated during the
drive to that same woman
after learning that she was
having a boy.
It was so sad on one
hand and so rewarding on
another, says Lalama, who
invited families in need into
her home to sort through
toys and clothes to pick out
what they want. I helped
specific people, says
Lalama. Her original plan
was to donate the collected
items to area churches and

other places that host collections during the holidays
and then disperse to people
in need.
We were going to bring
the items to places but they
got filled up by other organizations who had toy
drives, says Lalama.
Instead, Lalama reached out
to the townships to find specific people in need. One
grandmother who has custody of her grandkids was
invited into Lalamas house
to sort through the toys that
were scattered about in several rooms. She gave them a
bag full of toys.
One little girl came in
and said I love Barbies,
and asked if she could have
two. It was just so rewarding to see the faces of these
kids, she says.

Toy/Clothing Drive...
continued from previous page

of the collection, Lalama received so many
donations including a shopping cart filled
with toys and clothing from Weiss
Supermarkets; big bags of toys from
Dreamscape Foundation - a non-profit
organization established to overcome
obstacles and prove equality for those
impacted with rare disabilities- which had
its own toy drive collection with so much
leftover; and a Boy Scout troop that
dropped off a collection of toys to Philly
Pretzel Factory in Hackettstown, who gave
customers free pretzels when they donated.
Liz Ouimet, Alyssa Ouimet and Michael
Lalama helped me tremendously by picking up the donated items from the various
drop off sites, Lalama stated.
With so much left over, Lalama ended
up donating the remainder of the donations
to Mountaintop Church in Hackettstown
who has a connection to an organization in
New York that provides for widows families of city police officers.
The goal was to reach families here
first, says Lalama, adding that she probably helped atleast six families personally
throughout the coverage area of her eight
newspapers from as far west as
Hackettstown to as far east as Morristown.
Next year, Lalama plans to identify fam-
ilies in need first and then try to fill their

specific requests through contributions and
donations. While pleased by the number of
organizations that sponsor toy and clothing
drives, Lalama questions why the effort
centers on the holiday season. If collections
were instead held all year round, so many
more peoples needs can be fulfilled on a
continuous basis, she says.
In its first annual toy/clothing drive, the
publishers of MJ Media contacted advertisers of its eight local monthly newspapers
requesting that they offer a drop off box for
customers to donate toys and clothing for
the drive, which was held the week of
Thanksgiving until Dec. 20. Items being
collected included new unwrapped toys and
new clothing from infant through age 14.
Out of its advertisers, 16 agreed to be a
drop off location. Participants included MJ
Media, Flanders; Weis Supermarkets,
Flanders; Route 46 Chevy, Budd Lake;
Budd Lake Bagels, Budd Lake; Mt. Olive
Bagels, Budd Lake; Fanuccis Caf &
Gelato Bar, Netcong; Red Dot Firearms,
Stanhope; Philly Pretzel, Hackettstown;
Hackettstown Honda, Hackettstown;
Motion Kia, Hackettstown; HomeTown
Hardware,
Hackettstown;
Elements
Therapeutic Massage, Chester; Fresco
Mexican, Chester; JC Reiss Optician,

Morristown; Global Home, Morristown;
and Long Valley Animal Hospital, Long
Valley.
Hundreds of toys were donated as well
as baby clothes, coats, sweatshirts, gloves,
hats, scarves and girlie outfits.
Lalama, who co-owns MJ Media along
with her husband, Joe Nicastro- council
president of Mt. Olive Twp., decided to
host the fundraiser to give back to the community.
I always wanted to give back, says
Lalama. I always knew how hard it was to

be a single mom during Christmas time.
Despite those struggles, Lalama says she
raised her children with a giving spirit.
Every year we donated to another family.
I always told my kids You have to pay
Santa something for your toys, but instead
of giving money, they would give one of
their toys to another kid.
Lalama personally thanks all the businesses who used their stores as a drop off
and thanks everyone who donated something. It went to good use.

Breakthrough Treatment Now Available In Long Valley
Imagine thirty to forty years ago if you were told that lasers
would replace scalpels in surgery or that robotic instruments
would build cars; you may not have believed it. By the same token
would you believe that chiropractic treatments could be performed
using a special hand-held instrument developed by NASA scientists; all while you were sitting in an upright position without turning or twisting movements?
Advances in computers and engineering technologies have
been able to uniquely blend with chiropractic in order to both analyze and treat the human body in such a way that was never before
realized.
According to Dr. Michael S. Hyjek, This new form of computerized treatment is so gentle and effective, that it amazes even the
most skeptical patients. Its called the Impulse IQ Adjuster and is
the latest, state-of-the-art technology in existence today, and the
only one in the Long Valley area

the spine and other joints to remove the nerve impingement that is
often the cause of pains in the low back, neck, shoulder and elsewhere in the body. It also works on a variety of muscular conditions to loosen tight muscles with ease and comfort. Many patients
say that its like getting a mini-massage.
It can also help increase the amount of motion in almost any
joint. Even patients with knee, hip and foot problems such as plantar fasciitis are being helped. It is also covered by most insurance
companies including medicare.
Dr. Michael S. Hyjek, the secret to the Impulse IQ Adjuster
lies in its advanced piezoelectric sensor that is able to detect the
slightest amount of restriction in a joint and then deliver an
extremely precise adjustment. He says that Even though traditional forms of adjusting also work, people are drawn to this new
to have their spines adjusted in that way, says Dr. Michael S.

Hyjek, Now, there is no longer a reason for anyone to be weary.
The Impulse IQ Adjuster is perfect for anyone who has been
thinking about going to a chiropractor, but hasnt yet made that
decision. Dr. Michael S. Hyjek, wants everyone to be able to
experience these same benefits and if you have any of the following conditions, the Impulse IQ Adjuster may be the answer

New Chester Borough Mayor Experienced, Considers Upcoming Projects;

Wash. Twp. Police Chief Says Community Ranked Among NJ Safest
ew Chester Borough Mayor Janet

Hoven has a background in journalism and theology, and a career
which has included public relations, advertising and teaching high school theology.
Hoven, who has lived in the borough for
20 years, has also served on the local board
of education and as a councilwoman. Her
education and career success will be a great
asset to the borough as it moves forward in
the new year and beyond.
Hoven said in a phone interview late last
month that council would soon hold a goal
setting session to discuss their objectives
together as a governing body.
She said one of the big items is the current sewer system, and the need for more
sewer capacity for the residents of the borough. She said it is a big project and a difficult one, but Chester needs to keep moving
forward.
Hoven also spoke about other items she
felt are important such as the need to keep
the friendly, small-town feel while also having amenities.
We want to maintain that feel of the
town, she said, adding that she wants
Chester to continue to be a desirable place
to move to, and she wants to keep it as a

friendly, walkable place.
Hoven said it is nice to be able to walk to
the Main Street shops, and added that her
children, for example, had a wonderful
childhood as part of this setting.
In addition to this, Hoven said her philosophy as mayor is to keep the mayor and
council as transparent as they can be.
Hoven will be writing a monthly newsletter
which will be available on the borough
website, and she will speak about borough
issues and what is happening.
She said, the more that residents know,
the more apt they are to get involved.
Id like to see more people attend our
council meetings, she said.
Hoven also noted that there is a new
developer that has contacted the borough
and the planning board about the Larisons
site (most recently it operated as Larisons
Steakhouse, which closed in 2009). She said
the developer may make a formal proposal,
and that meetings were planned, but so far
the developer had to cancel and so the council is still waiting.
Hoven is a native of Kansas, and a graduate of the University of Kansas School of
Journalism. She has a Master's in Theology

from Seton Hall University, and lives in the
borough with her husband, Don. Their three
children all attend the University of Kansas.
In Washington Township news, Police
Chief Michael Bailey said in a recent statement to the Black River News that: "The
most recent success is the fact that we have
been deemed the 14th safest community in
the state of New Jersey and the 4th safest in
Morris County and we will continue to
strive to be the safest. The police department wishes everyone a safe and happy new
year."
Congratulations to the police department
on this honorable achievement.
Finally, Chester Borough Recreation has
several interesting winter programs and
events, including a babysitting course; a
pre-school Spanish course; a Winter Photo
Contest; and Winter Fest 2015.
The Winterfest will be held, Monday Jan
19th from 10am - 3pm at the Highlands
Ridge Barn, 100 North Rd. It is billed as a
day filled with fun ways to keep healthy
during the winter and how to take care of
ourselves and the environment.
It will include activities and presenta-

tions for all ages such as a guided hike, a 5k

fun run, free children's crafts, live animal
presentation, the "infamous butterfly guy"
and more.
This event is free of charge, and is sponsored by Chester Borough and Chester

CCM Student, 91-Year-Old Ira Kaplan, Thrives in Intro to Film Course
ra Kaplan, 91 years old from Clifton,

came to County College of Morris (CCM)
during the Fall 2014 Semester to take Dr.
Matthew Jones Introduction to Film class.
Kaplan was already well introduced to cinematography, given that his father had owned
a chain of New Jersey movie theaters during
the early 20th century, but he wanted to study
early film in an academic setting.
They called my father the Movie
King, said Kaplan. He was a movie
exhibitor and owned five movie houses that I
knew of.
Jones was thrilled to have Kaplans depth
and breadth of knowledge on the subject of
film enhancing the classroom experience for
students. He supplemented whatever subject
was being discussed in class with his own
personal experiences and things he had
learned about movies through the years,
noted Jones.
Kaplans presence added an extra layer of
richness to class discussions, especially when
the class watched movies from the World War
II era such as Citizen Kane.
When we watched Citizen Kane, a quintessential film class film that I am very
familiar with, Ira knew very specific details
about the careers of people who were in the
film that I did not know, said Jones.
One day Dr. Jones asked if anybody
knew who the cinematographer of Citizen
Kane was, recalled Kaplan, who audited the
class as a non-credit student. I never put up
my hand because I knew these kids were

there for credit. No one knew the answer, so I
raised my hand and said, Gregg Toland. I
think that impressed him, said Kaplan.
Born in 1923, Kaplan learned about the
film industry endeavors of his father, Ike
Kaplan, largely through his sister, Ann, who
was born in 1908. Ann, who lived to be 100
years old, was a cashier for the family theater
business.
After Ann died, I was going through her
stuff and I found my fathers application for
United States citizenship from the year 1914.
He was from Lithuania. Under occupation, he
wrote movie operator, said Kaplan.
Among Anns other belongings, Kaplan
came across a newspaper article from his
fathers heyday. The document revealed that
Ikes acquisition of the Star Theater in
Cliffside elevated him to new heights. It mentioned the installation of a $20,000 pipe organ
and other splendid features, including a
handsomely redecorated movie house. The
article refers to him as the Marcus Loew of
New Jersey, who was a motion picture theater magnate from New York and went on to
create Metro-Goldwin-Mayer. Ikes goal was
to make sure his theaters featured, everything that Broadway affords with the exception of their high prices.
You have to remember that back in those
days, there was no television or even radio,
said Kaplan. The only real entertainment for
the mass public, besides theater on Broadway,
was the movies.

Kaplan now plans to take the History of
the Theatre course at CCM.
The most essential function of a college
is that it is an aggregator, or a place where
people who wouldnt normally interact are
put into situations where they can react, said

Jones. Out of this union comes creativity
and new ideas.
The youngsters were very nice, said
Kaplan. I think they accepted me.
Mendham Author Shares Big Apple in NY Guide
By Cheryl Conway
ver since he was little, James Jim
Schmitt of Mendham Twp. has
enjoyed drawing maps and learning
about New York City.
Little did he know that his knowledge and
skill would lead him to writing a guide currently rated five stars and listed number one
on Amazon in the NY Travel Category. Selfpublished in April 2014, "Knowing Where
You're Going: New York City is a colorful
New York City guidebook that explores
America's number one travel destination
with a visual map-based format. Every
neighborhood in Manhattan is covered in
detail, with maps that feature key streets and
highlights shopping, dining, and nightlife
districts to visit.
Different than other guidebooks of New
York City, Schmitt says that his goal was to
provide much more detail and provide a
clearer view of the city to tourists, visitors,
and even city residents who may not know
the best places to shop or eat because they
live there, go into their job then back into
their neighborhood.
This one is much more detailed, says
Schmitt, about his book referred to as the
Ultimate Manhattan Map Guide. Its very
neighborhood focused. All the maps are
hand-drawn. Anyone who doesnt know

New York City or even those who do know,
will appreciate the guidebook.
Each chapter focuses on a certain section
of the city such as South Street Seaport,
Times Square, Hells Kitchen, China Town,
Little Italy. Its very zoomed in and
detailed. People from New Jersey like to go
into the city for dinner or they go to the theater district or the village, but they never
explore other areas of Manhattan that are
really interesting, he says.
Along with each map is informative information about neighborhood attractions and
seasonal events. Streets are colorfully highlighted where restaurants or retail stores can
be found, simplifying visits to the city. Points
of interest, parking, and mass transportation
options are also clearly designated.
You can look at a street and its all jewelry stores; another street is all shoe stores.
This is a very New York phenomenon. I
wanted to make maps of each neighborhood
and mark where all the book stores are.
Detailed diagrams of some of NYs most
confusing underground places such as Penn
Station, Grand Central Terminal, Times
Square Subway Station, Fulton Street
Subway Station, Rockefeller Center Lower
Level Concourse, are included, as well as
James Jim Schmitt
useful information regarding city transportation by car, taxi, bus, subway, and foot. Even
the city parks are mapped out, depicting
paths, athletic fields, points of interest, and
restrooms.

Chester Library Receives Grant to Digitize 1930s

Newspapers Posts Donors Oral Histories on YouTube
hanks to a generous grant from the

Morris
County
Heritage
Commission, the Chester Library will
digitize The Mendham-Chester Tribune
newspapers from 1936 to 1939, and make
them available on the Librarys computers.
The Tribune began publishing in 1936.
Lifelong Chester resident Herman
Rademacher donated the newspapers to the
Library in October 2014.
Currently, the Library offers ObserverTribune and its predecessor, The MendhamChester Tribune newspapers from the present back to 1955. Herman gave us the
newspapers with the specific condition that
we digitize them so that members of the
community and visiting researchers could
use the historical information in the papers.
We wish to honor his request and provide
this valuable and missing archival resource
to our patrons, says Chester Librarys Local
History Librarian, Debra Schiff. We are
very grateful to the Morris County Heritage
Commission for making it possible.
Rademacher also has become a local
celebrity from oral histories recorded by
Schiff. He lent the Library his collection of
Chester postcards, which she scanned and
returned. When Rademacher began talking
about the scenes printed on the postcards,
she asked if he would be willing to be

recorded on digital video talking about the
postcards for an upcoming exhibit. He
agreed, and Schiff began recording what
became the Herman Rademacher series of

that it was very important that people understood how to get around New York, so we
would play games, Schmitt says, ever since
he was five years old. He would quiz his
grandson every visit with him in NYC until
he was a teenager, asking him little kid
questions like name five bridges into
Manhattan, or what subway is underneath
Lexington Ave. Hed ask me city questions
and it would become a game we would play,
describes Schmitt.
The fact that his friends often ask him
how to get into the city or where to go when
they get there also motivated Schmitt to create his guide.
I was always the person to call if a friend
was going to New York, says Schmitt. I
would draw a map.
His goal is to show people who dont
know the city well how to see it from a
native. By highlighting streets, Schmitt says
you can go with confidence someplace
new.
Besides his knowledge of NYC, Schmitts
favorite hobby has been cartography. I
always loved maps and drawing, says
Schmitt, since I can hold a crayon, I would
draw maps of everything, my house, my
room. I loved drawing these detailed maps;
its just something I did.
In college, Schmitt even started out taking

course in architecture as he loved technical
art, but then switched his major and received
his degree in English in 1988 from
Brookdale Community College in
Monmouth.
I was always a good writer, says
Schmitt. I always enjoyed writing and
English.
Skilled as a writer and cartographer,
Schmitts book is on the map as a number
one guide. Self-published through his wifes
design company, Tinfoil Rose Design,
Schmitt and his spouse, Donna worked
together to complete the finished product.
The couple frequented NY often to research
and learn all they could about the neighborhoods and streets of Manhattan.
I wanted to explore the whole thing,
says Schmitt. Ive walked every street in
Manhattan, living and working there since
he was a teenager, whether in construction,
fragrance industry and even music, he says.
He has worked as a subway musician for the
past four years, playing during the winter
months traditional Irish music on his mandolin with his friend who sings, at several
locations such as West Fourth Street Station,
Greenwich Village and Times Square station.
In between songs people would always
come up to us and ask directions, says
Schmitt. They werent afraid to ask. How

dangerous could you be, this man holding
this mandolin. We are constantly handing out
directions and advice in between songs.
Schmitt, who works full-time as a perfumer creating fragrances for companies
such as Bath and Body Works and Yankee
Candle, spent four years with his wife
researching in NY for the guide making
sure the details were right. We spent a lot of
time walking the streets and taking notes. We
mapped out all of the major subway stations.
Its huge; its easy to get lost. Its like a massive underground world.
I wanted to alleviate anything that makes
people nervous or confused, when it comes
to NYC, Schmitt says, adding that he dedicated the book to his brother-in-law who is
phobic and terrified of going to the city.
Its not the scary place it once was, says
Schmitt. New York crime rate is down 75
percent since the 80s. Manhattan is so safe,
even Harlem and Washington Heights. The
guide doesnt tell you where not to go; it
does tell you highlights where to go.
This is my passion, Schmitt continues.
Its designed to not make you afraid anymore. Theres nothing to fear if you know
where you are going.
In the course of their research, Schmitt
says I was deeply affected by the homeless-
ness that I saw in New York City. We

walked through every subway section, every
transit hub. As a way to give back a little
bit, Schmitt has decided to donate a dollar
from every book that he sells and give to the
Doe Fund, a charity that helps homeless people integrate back into society. The charitys
motto is a hand up not a hand down.
He also researched on the internet historical information about areas in the city and
incorporates interesting facts in his guidebook.
While he is a NJ native, Schmitt admits to
his fascination with NYC. My family is
from there; Ive always been connected. Its
always something that was mysterious and
big and a little scary. But drawing maps of
the city made it easier for him to not fear it,
he says.
New York, theres this pull, concludes
Schmitt. Everything is there; all your
dreams are there, whether it is to be a journalist, perfumist, actor, singer. Its a place of
dreams. A prerequisite for your dreams to
come true is getting over the fear of making
your dreams come true. If you can go there,
you can go everywhere.

Meat-free Meals
ome late winter, diners may notice

more meat-free selections available
on restaurant menus. That's thanks
to the Lenten season that precedes Easter
Sunday. During Lent, Christians traditionally abstain from eating meat on Fridays. Lent
is an ideal time for men and women looking
to get healthier to include more vegetables,
whole grains and seafood in their diets. Try
substituting ground beef with tofu, and
incorporate vegetables where meat may be

used. For example, layer lasagna with slices
of zucchini instead of filling it with sausage.
Plus, eat more fish. Research shows that
fish high in omega-3 fatty acids decreases
the risk of abnormal heartbeats, which can
lead to sudden cardiac death. Omega-3 fatty
acids also decrease triglyceride levels, slow
the growth rate of atherosclerotic plaque
and lower blood pressure.

Lace Day Passing on the Tradition of Handmade Lace
By Elsie Walker
ottie Wolfe of Stanhope learned
how to make lace from a neighbor
who didnt want the skill to die, and
On Saturday,
so wanted to pass it on.
February 7th, from 10:00 am 4:00 pm,
Wolfe will now be the one to pass on the
skill as part of Lace Day at Harmony Lodge
#8 on 519 Route 206 in Newton. The event
is sponsored by the Lost Art Lacers of North
Jersey, a group dedicated to keeping alive
the art of handmade lace. This is the organizations 30th annual Lace Day, which will
include demonstrations, exhibits, and workshops on lace making. There will be workshops for both children and adults, with
adults workshops on Sunday. For more
information, see the organizations site at
www.lostartlacers.org
On Lace Day, members of the Lost Art
Lacers will share their skills in making various types of lace. Wolfe shared that members will be bringing their latest projects
and doing demonstrations on those. There
are many varieties of handmade lace. For
example, Wolfes specialty is tatting, a type
of lace made using knotting and loops.
Shell be teaching beginning tatting.
While many may picture lace as only an
embellishment for garments or handkerchiefs, it can be used in making a variety of

things.
I make Christmas ornaments, of course,
and lots of lace collars. This past year, I discovered ruffle yarn for making scarves
thats a lot of fun, and they look nice, too,
Wolfe shared. She also makes tatted jewelry.
Her work has won ribbons at past State
Fairs and 2014 was no exception. Wolfe
won a blue ribbon for a yellow and lavender
tatted necklace and, because they thought so
highly of it, she was recognized by the
judges with a special ribbon for a crocheted
necklace.
How does Wolfe come up with the ideas
for her pieces?
There are many patterns available for
making various pieces of lace jewelry, but
generally I see something on tv that I like
and design a piece using those colors.
Sometimes, I will see something in a store,
and, not having enough money to purchase
that item, Ill come home and dig out some
thread and beads and make something like
it. I go by a house and like the color combination and decide to make something in
those colors. Also, there are many patterns
and tutorials available on the internet,

which has become a great asset, Wolfe
said.
She usually adds an embellishment to the
jewelry. She generally picks what appeals
to her but finds that glass beads give a better finish than acrylic ones. Pretty buttons
work, too.
Wolfe shared that making tatted jewelry
takes one or two tatting shuttles and a small
crochet hook for joining the picots (loops of
thread). Crocheted jewelry takes a crochet
hook in the correct size. Wolfe approximates that it takes probably 6-8 hours to
make a necklace. She says its hard to tell
for sure because she works on one here and
there when she has time.
A member of the Lost Art Lacers for 20
years, Wolfe shared what she enjoys about
lacemaking:
I would like to say that its relaxing, but
it isnt always, especially when things go
wrong. Lacemakers are a very small community, so we all know each other and we
make friends easily and have lots of good
times. I love working with different colors
and textures, so thats part of it too.
On Lace Day, Wolfe and the rest of the
Lost Art Lacers will be playing it forward,
Tatted lace earrings and Irish angel by Dottie

Wolfe.
doing what others did for them in showing

people how to make lace.
Its great when someone asks me to
show them how to make something,
because of course, we are all committed to
passing on our skills. Thats part of the purpose of Lace Day. We have fun ourselves,
but its also a time to learn new skills and
pass them on,
Students Raise Money for Mental Awareness And Other Charities

Through New Program
By Cheryl Conway
essons in philanthropy are teaching
high school students about local
organizations and the importance of
giving.
Through the Main Street Philanthropy
program, some area high school students
have recently been introduced to fundraising for charities, granting money to 31 charities in New Jersey. Of those charities, several are local including the Mental Health
Association of Morris County in Mountain
Lakes.
The MHAMC recently received $467
from Boonton High School through a program called Main Street Philanthropy, a 10
week class involving small teams of students, their classroom teacher, an outside
financial mentor called Ambassadors, generous donors, and charities. The program
was held from Oct. 3 to Dec.19 at BHS and
involved 14 students grades nine through
eleven.
They studied us and decided to award
us the results of their fundraising efforts,
says Barb Flynn, vice president of
Development & Marketing at MHAMC.
The students learned about the Mental
Health Association and mental illness and
now this money can be used toward our
clients so they can learn what they missed.
Founded in 1953, the MHAMC promotes mental health awareness, prevents
mental illnesses, and improves the care and
treatment of people in recovery from mental
illnesses through programs of education,
direct service, and advocacy.
With education one of the areas promoted by the MHAMC, the non-profit organization plans to allocate the recent funds to
the Mental Health Education Assistance
Fund Program, says Flynn. Through this
program, clients can apply for grants, a drivers license, classes to learn to be a medical technician or credits to earn a GED,
funds to purchase books or even a computer.
This program is amazing, says Flynn
regarding the MHAMC education assistance fund program. People get cut off in
their 20s to finish school. Mental illness
often becomes visible in the late teens. It
stops people from finishing their education. Through this program, clients can get
their education so they can work or have a
better life.
MHAMC leaders are very appreciative
to the BHS students selecting them as recipients and applaud the Main Street
Philanthropy program for leading students
in the right direction when it comes to charity and support.
Now these kids are going into a world
and they have a foundation in their career

where they are helping people, says Flynn.
They will all be volunteers; this is all volunteer work; they will all become great
donors. They will be supporting great causes. Its like dropping a pebble into water,
water that will be rippling out into their
lives; it will spread out into their lives as
donors, as helping people as a result from
this class. These are high school students
that actually care.
Louis A. Schwarcz, president and chief
executive officer of the MHAMC, says hes
very appreciative of the high school. Its a
good thing when we can influence the
young people; anytime we can get young
people to get inspired by hope.
The Main Street Philanthropy program is
helping by educating the community and
the world and that people of mental illness can have jobs, homes, hope. Its good
for the community, its good for us, its
good for young people to have meaningful
activity to support great causes. Its unusual
that young people have come together; its a
start.
The MHAMC received a call from a
BHS student in early Nov. explaining that
the organization was being considered as a
recipient from the Main Street Philanthropy
program. Flynn and Schwarcz were then
invited to the high school for a panel discussion on Nov. 21, 2014, along with other
charitable organizations. The purpose for
the panel discussion was for students to ask
detailed questions to learn about each
organization, such as money management,
operations and how it became non-profit.
Out of the eight organizations the high
school researched, students selected five as
recipients, says Robin Cornelison of
Springfield, an ambassador for Main Street
Philanthropy, who met with the students
once a week for 10 weeks. To be accepted
into the non-credited class, students had to
write an essay about why they wanted to
participate. This was the second year BHS
held the program.
Once the high school selected the charities it wanted to support, fundraising efforts
began.
To raise money for the MHAMC, students sold store bought cookies, dedicating
their lunch periods to sell the cookies to students and staff members.
They [students] were really impressed
after the panel discussion, says Flynn,
about MHAMC. They really wanted to
help people with mental illness.
BHS students visited the MHAMC on
Dec. 12 for a tour and to issue the organization the funds.
They chose it because they really felt
that helping people with mental disabilities

is something important in todays society,
explains Cornelison.
This program is incredible, she says.
It gives students the opportunity to contribute something back to society and something they believe in. Its actually not about
the money, although that is part of it. One of
my favorite moments: the students this year
were unable to give monetarily to a charity;
instead they had to collect coats, hats,
gloves, clothes, toothbrushes, etc. They
were extremely proud of themselves and I
could tell how amazed they were at the generosity of others when asked to donate.
The program changes lives, continues
Cornelison. It has changed my life and the
way I see how teenagers who are crammed
with every extra-curricular activity and college prep/social media can put that all aside
to do something good and something they
believe in. The program impacts and benefits students by really, truly making them
think about other people. Really understanding that there are people outside of
their world that need help and every single
one of them can make a difference.
BHS also raised money for the Youth
Shelter of Morris County, Cancer Support

Community of Central NJ, Interfaith Food
Pantry, and The Seeing Eye of Morris
County.
Run by three partners who work in the
area of wealth management, Main Street
Philanthropy began with one class in
California in 2013, and then expanded to
Florida followed by NJ with 11 classes participating last year, and 30 to 40 classes
from the fall of 2014 to the spring 2015.
In working with families and philanthropy, the founders realized that you can
blend a lot of life skills, explains Yale
Levey, one of the three founders of Main
Street Philanthropy. If I were to invest in a
charity I may want to understand their
financials.
The idea for Main Street Philanthropy
questions why does it have to be from Wall
Street and not Main Street.
Main Street Philanthropy is a 501 3C
Charity involving a three-way partnership
with donors, schools and Main Street
Philanthropy, explains Levey. The school
absorbs us in as part of their classroom,
and we find donors to finance the cost of

continued from previous page

the class.
Main St. Philanthropy augments what
the students raise with extra grant dollars to
give away.
In the Northeast region, the area in which
Levey represents for Main Street
Philanthropy, six classes involving 140 kids
participated this past fall in Morris,
Somerset and Essex counties, with 31 charitable organizations that received grants.
Participating high schools included
Boonton, West Morris Mendham, West
Morris Central, Franklin and Millburn.
We come in, do an exercise to design
kids to discover their passion, whether its
the environment, mental health or kids,
explains Levey, who taught the program at
West Morris Mendham and Millburn high
schools this past fall. We pair kids together that have shared passions, form teams,
and then the kids research charities by
learning about them by looking at tax
returns, investment, cost to manage and

other areas.
Then after panel discussion with the
invited organizations, students vote on
which charity to support, hold fundraisers,
visit recipients, grant checks and then attend
a program graduation to celebrate what
they learned.
Students learn life skills through the program such as public speaking, cold calling
and fundraising techniques, says Levey.
By the end of January, Levey plans to
have a fleet of ambassadors trained and
ready to lead the program in even more high
schools throughout the state. He is also
seeking more donors to support the program
in these classrooms. Donors have included
generous individuals and some businesses.
To sign up for the program or participate
as a donor, contact Yale@mainstreet

veryone can benefit from Acupuncture whether

seeking help for an existing health issue or just to
promote overall wellness and to help prevent future
issues. Acupuncture is an evidence-based modality and
research from the National Institute of Health proves that
Acupuncture is effective for use in pain management,
osteoarthritis, postoperative or chemotherapy-related nausea, addiction, stroke rehabilitation, infertility and asthma,
among others. In addition, The World Health Organization
declares Acupunctures efficacy in relieving anxiety, panic
disorders, insomnia and forty-two other medical conditions.
What is Acupuncture?
Acupuncture is a modality of Traditional Chinese
Medicine that requires the insertion of tiny filiform needles
into various points on the body. Acupuncture and Chinese
Medicine originated in Ancient China thousands of years
ago. The Ancient Chinese discovered that every living
being has energy that flows through invisible meridians
(energy lines) throughout the body. This energy, known as
"Qi" is the motive life force. In healthy individuals the Qi
flows smoothly through the channels/ meridians. Imbalance
in the flow of Qi results in illness and/or disease.
Think of a garden hose. Water flows smoothly through
the hose as long as there are no kinks. When a kink occurs,
the water builds up on one side of the kink preventing the
water from flowing through. Now envision 14 garden hoses
attached to one another and arranged within the body. Each
hose is connected to an organ in the body. You can see how
a kink in just one of the hoses can affect all the other
hoses/organs throughout the body. The kink or blockage
results in illness and/or disease.
Acupuncture and Chinese Medicine is used to restore the
smooth flow of Qi (i.e. remove all the kinks) and bring
the body back to balance.
If you are still following then you are probably wondering how the kinks originate in the first place. Our Qi or
energy can become kinked or blocked from
physical/emotional trauma, stress, poor lifestyle and eating
habits, seasonal changes, over-exertion, and exposure to the
elements (wind, cold, dampness, heat). But have no

How does Acupuncture Work?
There are several theories regarding the Acupuncture
mechanism. Acupuncture helps the body to do what it was
meant to do- heal itself. Some of the most common theories
include:
- Acupuncture stimulates the release of endorphins,
which relieve pain
- Acupuncture stimulates the release of neurotransmitters
(substances that that transmit nerve impulses to the brain
-Acupuncture has a profound effect on the Autonomic
Nervous System
- Acupuncture stimulates circulation
- Acupuncture enhances the bodys immune response
- Acupuncture influences the electrical currents of the
body
The most common question of all Does Acupuncture
Hurt?
Extremely fine needles are used in the treatment of
Acupuncture, making the experience almost painless. Most
patients don't even feel the needles being inserted. The
Acupuncture needles used are as fine as a few hairs on your
head. All of my patients find their Acupuncture treatments
to be very relaxing. In fact, most people fall asleep during
their treatment.
What is a typical Acupuncture treatment like?
Upon arrival the patient is asked to fill out a detailed
health history questionnaire. Then, the acupuncturist will
review the health history with the patient and go over the
patients primary health concern and lifestyle. The acupuncturist will take the patient's pulses and look at his/her tongue
(In Chinese medicine the tongue and pulses are representative of the various organ/meridian systems and help in the
diagnostic process). After the interview, the practitioner
will come up with a diagnosis and treatment plan for the
patient. The treatment plan is specific to the individual- not
their disease. Then, the sterile needles will be inserted into
various acupuncture points. The patient may feel a heaviness or tingling sensation around the needle insertion site.
The needles are typically retained for 20-30 minutes.

How many Acupuncture treatments are needed?

The number of Acupuncture treatments needed is based
on the severity and chronicity of the condition. However,
most patients experience some relief after the very first
treatment.
What does Acupuncture treat?
Acupuncture is effective in treating various disorders
and symptoms including, but not limited to the following:
Addiction, Anxiety, Arthritis, Tendonitis & Joint Pain,
Asthma, Auto Injuries, Chronic Fatigue Syndrome,
Common Cold & Influenza, Constipation, Degenerative
Disk Disorders, Depression, Facial Rejuvenation,
Fibromyalgia, Headaches, Indigestion, Gas, Bloating,
Infertility, Insomnia, Menopause symptoms, Migraines,
Morning Sickness, Musculoskeletal pain, Nausea,
Orthopedic Conditions, Pain, PMS & Menstrual
Irregularities, Reproductive Issues, Sports Injuries, Stress,
Tendonitis, Smoking Cessation and Weight management.
What does it take to become an Acupuncturist?
In addition to obtaining a Bachelors degree,
Acupuncturists are required to undergo 3-4 years of schooling at an accredited Acupuncture school. Acupuncture programs consist of various classes in the areas of Acupuncture
and Biomedicine as well as a full year of a clinical internship to obtain the experience of treating patients.

Did You Know?
enetically modified foods, or GMOs, have been a

topic of heated conversation for the last several
months. People have strong opinions on both sides
of the GMO debate. In January 2014, retail giant General
Mills decided to produce GMO-Free Cheerios, one of its
most popular and well-known cereals. This move now makes
shopping for a GMO-free cereal that much easier. However,
finding other products that do not contain GMOs may not be
so simple, and consumers may have to do some research.
Food companies in the United States are not required to label
foods to indicate use of GMOs. It is safe to assume that corn
and soybeans produced in the United States are genetically
modified. Papayas are often modified as well. Produce that
has been genetically modified will have a bar code that starts
with the digit "8." One way to avoid GMOs is to buy only
organic foods, which, in many instances, are GMO-free
thanks to stringent regulations. In terms of other foods, it
very well may be aguessing game. Speaking with a brand's
customer service department may be the best way to learn if
they offer any GMO-free products.

Scholarships.
Morris Arts is pleased to offer two scholarship opportunities for graduating high school seniors who have exhibited artistic excellence in dance, drama, music, or visual arts
and plan to pursue post-secondary studies at an accredited
institution or acknowledged arts school or fine arts program. The Elaine Ehlers Arts Scholarship, in the amount of
$5,000, and The Eugenie Coladarci Arts Scholarship, in the
amount of $1,500, were created to recognize artistic excellence, encourage the artists of the future, and to celebrate
the value of the arts to the human experience.
Morris County high school seniors graduating in June
2015 who are currently attending public, private, or
parochial school in New Jersey are eligible. Applicants

post-secondary studies at an accredited institution or
acknowledged arts school or fine arts program, and (c) have

disciplines: dance, drama, music, or visual arts.
The Elaine Ehlers Arts Scholarship was established in
2002 in memory of Elaine Ehlers (1953-2001), a healthcare administrator by profession, who had a voracious
appetite for all things artistic and musical. She derived
intellectual and emotional sustenance from the arts and supported programs at many museums and musical institutions.

eleven years. She was completing her first term as Board
Chair when she passed away in 1997. As a statewide champion of the arts, Gene encouraged the development of
young artists and believed in the value of the arts to the
quality of life. The idea of a scholarship to assist talented

very important to her. Past winners include violinist

Thomas Edison and Albert Einstein NJ Residents That Were The 20th Centurys Model Image of Genius
by Michele Guttenberger
oth Thomas Edison and Albert Einstein spent the
twilight years of their lives until their death calling
New Jersey their home. Thomas Edison lived in
West Orange, NJ and Albert Edison lived in Princeton NJ.
These were two faces that the world found fascination to
photograph and made the trek to these legendary New
Jersey home locations. However, Edison and Einstein were
worlds apart on how they viewed their fame and how they
wanted to be immortalized.
Albert Einsteins final years left him uneasy about his
uninvited public fame. He became weary of the press interviews and being photographed. A famous photo captured
these sentiments. In 1951, on Einsteins 71st birthday after
a marathon of press photographers, he bade to ruin a UPI
photographers image of himself by sticking out his tongue.
This facial spoof backfired on him. The photo became one
of the 20th centurys most popular iconic images. Einstein
was never entirely comfortable with his pedestal of fame.

He did not desire any monuments to be built in his honor.
Einstein realized that his grave site would undoubtedly
become a place of pilgrimage. Therefore, he requested that
his body was to be cremated and to have his ashes scattered.
Albert Einstein was a stark contrast to Thomas Edisons
ego that indorsed his own fame. He used his iconic image
and signature to promote his enterprises to the masses. In
the final decades of his life, Edison had more free time to
entertain and welcome his close avid followers. After his
death, the Thomas Edison image was memorialized in the
US and other nations with dedicated monuments to him.
One most notable Edison monument was erected 1952. It
is a 12.5 foot bronze portrait bust of Thomas Alva Edison
located in Washington D.C. at the Naval Research
Laboratory. The honor to sculpt this prominent bust was
given to renowned artist Evelyn Beatrice Longman
(November 21, 1874 March 10, 1954). She was the first

Morris County Sixth-Graders To Participate

In NCJW, West Morris Diversity Contest
ixth-graders from Morris County public, private and parochial schools are
participating in the 2015 NCJW
Diversity Contest, sponsored by the National
Council of Jewish Women (NCJW), West
Morris Section.
The contest, which is conducted in conjunction with the observance of Martin
Luther King Jr.'s birthday, is designed to complement class lessons on reducing prejudice
and gaining an appreciation of social diversity.
Students' original entries are submitted
either in written formincluding poetry,
essays, short plays, short stories, or library
researchor as works of art, such as drawings, paintings or photographs. Entries are
judged on originality, clarity, development of
theme, and emotional content.
Topics addressed in the contest entries are
prejudices based on age, disability, ethnicity,
family lifestyle, gender, health problems, the
Holocaust, physical appearance, race and religion.
The contest is ideal for the sixth grade
because, at that age, children are becoming

more aware of and developing greater insight
into all types of prejudice. The contest, which
is held in memory of Amy Rotberg Mintz and
Helen Weiss, also dovetails nicely with the
sixth-grade curriculum. The contest chair is
Karen Secular of Morris Township.
A special awards reception, honoring the
Grand Prize winners, the Outstanding Award
winners, and those receiving Honorable
Mention, will be held in May.
The National Council of Jewish Women is
a volunteer organization, inspired by Jewish
values, that works through a program of
research, education, advocacy and community service to improve the quality of life for
women, children and families, and strives to
ensure individual rights and freedoms for all.
For further information about the NCJW,
West Morris diversity contest, email ncjwdiversitycontest@gmail.com. Individual sixthgraders whose schools are not participating
may contact ncjwdiversitycontest@gmail.
com for information on how to enter the contest on their own.
