the Warter Strong Awareness Campaign. The bulletin board will be up through the end of October. Donations toward the campaign are also being accepted at https://www.giftoflife.org/d c/warter, in an effort to raise funds and awareness toward blood stem research so more cancer victims can receive transplants and beat the disease. All proceeds go the Gift of Life, a national, not-for-profit registry facilitating transplants for patients in the United States and abroad. The campaign is in honor of Dr. Oren Warter, of Livingston, who had a bone marrow transplant in Feb. 2015 after being diagnosed with Acute Myologenous Leukemia (AML) in 2014. Warter, a father of three who worked as an anesthesiologist at Morristown Memorial Hospital, died at the young age of 45 in Aug. 2015 from unrelated complications, adds his wife TES

Warter created the Warter Strong donor circle in 2014 to help fundraise to purchase kits for stem cell providers through the Gift of Life. “We needed a bone marrow transplant,” explains Warter, after her husband’s diagnosis. “The only chance to beat it [AML] was through a transplant.

Learn About Beer And Halloween Fun At Library

ivingston Public Library has some exciting events coming up in October. History of Craft Beers with John Holl is set to take place on Wed., Oct. 19, 7 p.m. 8:45 p.m., in the Livingston Program Room. It's been 40 years since the first postprohibition microbrewery opened in the United States, but craft beer is only now hitting its stride. There are now more than 4,500 small breweries opening in the country, and they are producing some of the most flavorful and innovative brews that

have ever been created. A guided look through the world of craft beer, with interesting facts, colorful stories, and a look at why beer matters. Holl is a New Jersey native and covered the Garden State for the “New York Times” and “the Star-Ledger.” He began his career at NJ Network Television and has written for the “Wall Street Journal,” “The Washington Post,” “Wine Enthusiast,” and many other publications. He is the award-winning editor and author. Harry Potter Halloween Celebration is set for Thur., Oct. 27, 6:30 p.m.- 7:30 p.m.

Halloween History

alloween may seem like a relatively modern holiday, and while it may have become modernized, Halloween traditions actually can be traced back to ancient Celtic rituals. It’s believed Halloween traces its origins to a Celtic festival for the dead known as Samhain. During the festival, people would dress up in costumes and leave treats on their front

doorsteps to appease spirits that were believed to be roaming the Earth on this holiday. Many historians also feel that trick-or-treating can be linked to the European practice of “mumming” or “guysing,” in which costume-wearing individuals would go door-to-door, performing dances and plays in exchange for treats.

Drop in for Harry Potter themed Halloween fun. There will be Hogwarts and

Azkaban crafts and activities. Costumes encouraged. Drop in; no registration required.

United Way Seeks Volunteers For Free Tax Prep

nited Way of Northern New Jersey is seeking volunteers to meet the growing demand for its free tax preparation program, which helps those living paycheck to paycheck avoid the high cost of preparation fees during the upcoming tax season. Last year, United Way teamed up with the IRS, community partners and local volunteers to file more than 5,800 free tax returns across the region, putting $5.7 million in returns back into residents’ pockets and the local economy. “We saw a 25 percent increase in the number of families coming to us for help from the previous year,” said United Way CEO John Franklin. “Without the help of committed volunteers, we cannot address this need.”

To learn about the program, the first step involves watching a one hour webinar that provides an overview of the tax program and the volunteer opportunities available. Three sessions of the webinar are scheduled for Oct. 20 at 5 p.m.; Nov. 1 at noon; Nov. 30 at 5 p.m. “Our volunteers tell us that they actually look forward to tax season because the experience is so rewarding,” Franklin said. “This is a great way to get involved and give back to your community.” For more information or to register for the webinar to become a volunteer tax preparer, email Monica.Conover@ UnitedWayNNJ.org; call 973-993-1160 x529; or go to www.UnitedWay NNJ.org/TaxPrepTeam.

Oktoberfest Highlights First Annual Pickleball Mayor’s Game

he tradition of jack-o’-lanterns began in Ireland and Scotland, and pumpkins were not the first gourd of choice to use as lanterns. Turnips and rutabagas were often used because of their availability. When Irish immigrants migrated to America, they brought their jacko’-lantern traditions with them. Turnips were not as prevalent on this side of the Atlantic, so carvers turned to pumpkins, which were larger and easier to carve. Jack-o’lanterns get their name from Irish folklore, particularly a character named Jack. Jack liked to drink and couldn’t pay his pub tab, making a deal with the Devil for his soul to cover the pub fee. Jack agreed, but he tricked the Devil to get away with his soul and captured the Devil. Jack agrees to free the Devil if he makes a new deal that the Devil can’t ever have his soul. Years pass and Jack eventually dies. Because of his poor lifestyle, he is not material for heaven, and Jack is once again reunited with the Devil. Because the Devil remembers he cannot have Jack’s soul, Jack is forced to roam the twilight world forever as a lost soul. The Devil gives Jack a few embers to burn to light the way, which Jack stores in a hollowed-out turnip. Eventually these lanterns, used to keep scary spirits at bay, were called jacko’-lanterns.

Blood Stem Research... continued from front page

wanted to make a donation toward Warter Strong to the Gift of Life in order to offset costs to those joining the registry as blood stem donors. Gonik decided to use her advertising billboard to raise awareness, with the new promotion up since Sept. 22. “I usually do something humorous,” says Gonik, with her paid billboard. “This time I decided to use the space to promote this charity. I wanted to bring more attention to the charity. I want the word to spread.” She also plans to make a large donation toward the Gift of Life charity and asks others to donate as well.

“We’re trying to raise money for cancer research,” says Gonik, whose three girls grew up with Warter’s three boys, Ryan, 16; Zachary, 12; and Jake, 8. “We raised our families together. We re neighbors, we are friends. It’s a very tight community.” Zachary, who is preparing to becoming a bar mitzva in December, is using the bulletin board as his mitzva project to raise awareness and encourage others to take a picture or make a donation to support Gift of Life. “Take a selfie, take a picture of the billboard to raise awareness of becoming a donor,” says Warter, a speech pathologist. “Give someone the chance at life.”

In November, Warter is planning a second Bone Marrow Drive at Binghamton University in Suny, N.Y., in honor of her husband who was a founding father of Tau Epsilon Pau (TEP) Fraternity. While there is no cost to run the drive, kits cost $60. Warter’s goal is to raise at least $6,000 during the six week campaign

to help pay for 100 kits. “We want their stem cells, we want their health,” says Warter. “It’s a tribute to my husband; it’s a tribute to my family. It’s challenging sometimes; I have three boys. It keeps us moving forward. No matter what life gives you, you still pay it forward.”

Turtle Back Zoo Receives Third Consecutive Five-Year Accreditation

urtle Back Zoo has earned accreditation from the Association of Zoos & Aquariums’ independent Accreditation Commission, recognizing an institution’s commitment to providing quality animal care, education programs and promoting conservation. AZA made the announcement during its annual convention on Wed., Sept. 7 in San Diego,

Calif. This is the third consecutive five-year accreditation that Turtle Back has received. It became an accredited facility for the first time in its history in 2006 and the accreditation was renewed in 2011. “Maintaining accreditation is very important because it demonstrates to our visitors our commitment to providing the high-

est level of care and safety for our animals,” said Essex County Executive Joseph N. DiVincenzo, Jr. “We have been committed to making Turtle Back Zoo a modern, first-class facility that is safe for the animals and an exciting place for people of all ages to visit,” Turtle Back Zoo Director Brint Spencer said. “Earning AZA accreditation for a third time

is a tremendous accomplishment and is an indication of the high quality of care we give to our animals and the dedication of our keepers, staff and volunteers,” he added. The accreditation process, which occurs every five years, includes a detailed application and a meticulous on-site inspection by a team of trained zoo and aquarium professionals. The inspecting team observes all aspects of the institution’s operation in areas such as animal care; keeper training; safety for visitors, staff, and animals; educational programs; conservation efforts; veterinary programs; financial stability; risk management; visitor services; and other areas. The

inspection team prepares an extensive written report for AZA’s independent Accreditation Commission. Top officials are then interviewed at a formal commission hearing, after which accreditation is granted, tabled or denied. The Zoo is open seven

days a week from 10 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. Admission is $14 for adults, $11 for children and senior citizens, and free for children younger than two. For more information, call 973731-5800 or visit www.essexcountynj. org/turtleback zoo.

How To Have A Green Halloween

alloween will certainly be green if you're dressed as a goblin or a leprechaun. But it's not just the costumes that can make Halloween green. Those who follow a few easy tips can also enjoy an ecofriendly Halloween. * Decorate with natural items. Visit a farmer's market or even your own backyard and you can probably find plenty of fall-hued items to make your home festive. String together brightly colored leaves to form a wreath or to outline the front door. Stuff old clothing with leaves or straw and create your own scarecrow that can greet trick-ortreaters. Of course, pumpkins along the path-

ways and in windows is perhaps the ultimate in Halloween decor. * Light things up with LEDs. LED lights use significantly less energy than traditional stringed lights. Also, if you plan to have candles aglow, select ones made from beeswax or soy. * Swap costumes. Recycling costumes is not only cost-efficient but also good for the environment. Get together with friends and family and swap costumes. * Go treat hunting with a reusable bag. Design a tote bag with a Halloween theme that can be reused year after year.

Grammy Winning Producer Reflects On Livingston Roots

By Maryanne Christiano-Mistretta est known for having number one hits with Beyonce, Will Smith, Whitney Houston, and Lady Gaga, Livingston native Rob Fusari made it to the charts again this year, co-writing three songs for ABC’s release “Lexicon of Love II.” “Lexicon of Love II” entered the UK album charts at number five. Fusari cowrote “Confessions of a Fool,” “Singer Not the Song,” and “The Ship of the Seasick Sailor,” with lead singer Martin Fry. Fusari said that he modeled his production and sound after ABC, whose debut album was released in 1982. “This is surreal,” he said in regard to having such great success with ABC. “I have to pinch myself. ABC is such an inspiration. I remember sitting in front of my mother’s TV watching ABC on MTV. The songs were crafted so well.” Fusari will be the supporting opening act for ABC on their UK tour over the next few months, doing a one-man show. In addition to backing tracks, Fusari sings,

plays piano and keytar – a lightweight electronic keyboard supported by a guitar strap. He plans on testing out new songs. Fans experienced a taste of his oneman show Sept. 14 at The Bitter End in New York City. Fusari paid tribute to the 1970s and 1980s by playing “mash-ups” – which take two different hit songs by other artists and combining them into one. For example, “Careless Whisper” by George Michael and “Rebel Yell” by Billy Idol. He even mashed up one of his own productions with a tune by The Bangles. Then Fusari brought the house down when audience members joined him onstage to dance to a mash-up of the Bee Gees disco hit “Staying Alive” and Pink Floyd’s “The Wall.” He also performed several of his own exquisite songs, like “Don’t Let Love Down,” “Spin U Around,” and “Paparazzi.” During these performances Fusari received standing ovations not only for his great songwriting but for his consummate showmanship. Performing is natural and easy for

Fusari, as he started very young, playing a piano recital at Carnegie Hall when he was eight-years-old. “When I look back, it’s surreal,” he said. “We didn’t have iPhones, video, and camera. I’d give any-

kid. “In the 80’s, there was a lot of music in Livingston,” he said. “During the holidays, they’d have bands at The Circle. I never realized how much was there for the taking. I remember attending Battle of the Bands shows in the high school auditorium. Livingston itself allowed me to focus on a sense of musicality – and be close to Manhattan. I’d take the bus in and out to find new music there and see what the culture is like. It’s such an amazing place to be.” Fusari is still very connected to Livington, often staying with family and friends in the town. “I think it’s amazing,” he said. “The success is coming full circle in terms of getting back to where the roots are and what’s real. You get caught out there in the whirlwind of the entertainment business; there was more disconnect. In the last five years I’m spending more time in town than I ever had. I appreciate it more than I ever had. Now I feel like, to live in a town like Livingston,

that seems to be the reward.” As a child in Livingston, Fusari grew up in a musical household. He said, “My mother was big into Liberace. As a piano player, when I’d play as a kid, she wanted me to play more extravagant. As I got more and more into my performance, I started to take that in. Liberace is a huge influence on me. My oldest brother was into progressive rock, like Toto. My other brother was listening to the disco thing. Listening to records – that’s your education right there. I’d listen to piano, drums; ‘How did they get that sound?’ All these different styles were getting into my soul.” Fusari’s mother was a singer, but she didn’t pursue a career in music like Fusari did. “It was a different time,” he said. His father, Charley Fusari, was a retired well-known prize fighter. When Fusari received a full scholarship to Berkeley School of Music, his father passed away and threw him off his track. Instead he went to school for business at William Paterson. He got a job

working ‘9 to 5,’ but still felt a calling in music. When the job didn’t work out, Fusari turned to music – treating it like a job, getting up at 9 a.m. and working all day and night. “I couldn’t stop,” he said. He started recording demos and met up with the late hit songwriter Irwin Levine, who was also a Livingston resident. “I gave him the cassette,” Fusari said. “Sure enough Irwin called and said, ‘Could you come over to the house in Livingston and meet me?’” He met with Levine every day for two years. He said, “He told me how to craft a lyric and massage a melody.” Fusari wasn’t an overnight success, but eventually he got his first song published, “No, No, No,” with Destiny’s Child, and it went to number one. Of the countless number of legendary recording artists Fusari’s worked with, he feels it’s unfortunate that he never got to work with Prince, who died earlier this year. Fusari continues to seek artists for his

own independent music label “Last Quarter Records.” “People are always sending me stuff,” he said. “I’m so specific to the artists I want to find. I’m very picky, but I’m always looking for that next Bowie.” After the tour with ABC, Fusari said he’ll be compiling a seven or eight song album. He also has a side project with R&B singer Andrea Martin, who wrote songs for Toni Braxton, Monica, and En Vogue, to name a few. “We have thirty songs for the album,” he said. “We’ll write five or six songs per night. She’s so fast.” When Fusari isn’t writing music, he said it’s still in his head. “That’s something I struggled with my whole life. Friends and family notice I’m writing in my head. I went to Tahiti a few weeks ago. I said, ‘I’m not gonna take my lap top.’ I’m making the effort. Music’s been my life.” For more information on Rob Fusari, visit: http://robfusari.com/.

Tips To Handle School Anxiety And Refusal

hile it is developmentally normal for younger children to be anxious about school, this normal anxiety typically resolves quickly as the child adjusts. Most parents are able to provide the support needed to help their children overcome their initial anxiety. However, when anxiety about school causes a child significant distress intervention is often needed. This is particularly true for adolescents, who, from a developmental perspective, should have resolved normal fears about school. Working with school anxiety and refusal can be very challenging. Children and teenagers can, in more extreme instances, be very resistant to going to school. It may be difficult, even impossible, initially, to engage some children and adolescents in therapy and establish that the goal of therapy is to return to school. In these instances, more family focused treatment may be necessary, with the emphasis on how parents can more effectively respond to their defiant and anxious child. Family work is essential, even the best intentioned parents can inadvertently respond, out of their own frustration or anxiety, in ways that intensify and exacerbate problems,

such as the frustrated parent who yells at the anxious child, or the anxious parent who does too much reassuring rather than pushing their child to work to reassure themselves. Moreover, most children and adolescents need parental support to help them overcome their anxiety. Finally, if there are significant family concerns, or if the child is struggling with more significant emotional involvement, family involvement is critical. When significant parental conflicts are present, it is incumbent on the therapist to identify and attempt to address these issues. When a child or teenager is struggling with major depression or other serious psychological problems, parents need to understand their child’s needs and how to best respond to them. How to Spot Signs of Anxiety Sometimes anxiety doesn’t look like anxiety at all. Symptoms of serious stress can be both behavioral and physical. In little kids, panic often erupts into tantrums. Older kids may act out, using aggressiveness as a way to cover up a fear of being judged by classmates. Physical symptoms can include restlessness, fatigue, back pain, sweating, and — most commonly — head- and stomachaches. When to Go to the Pros

If anxiety prevents kids from going to school and making friends, it’s time to see an expert. Cognitive behavior therapy (CBT), which replaces negative thoughts with targeted coping strategies, is typically the first line of treatment. But when a child is so anxious she can’t focus on the therapy, clinicians may also turn to medication. Anxious Behavior: What's Normal and What's Not It’s perfectly okay when kids worry about an upcoming test, want to be tucked in at night, hang back for the first half-hour of a party, keep an eye out for bees or dogs. It’s a red flag when they vomit, lose sleep, or cry from stress, wind up in your bed every night, refuse to go to parties or leave your side, need to be coaxed outside because they’re afraid of being stung or attacked. Anxiety Soothers to Try Now 1. Have the child tense and relax each muscle group, working up from the toes. This releases tension, and when the body relaxes, the brain does, too. 2. Tell the child to pay attention to the noises around him until he hears five different sounds. Focusing his thoughts helps the child stay

in the moment rather than worry about the future. 3. Grade-schoolers can write down, or dictate, their fears and stash them in a shoebox. Writing worries helps minimize them and gives kids permission to let ’em go. 4. Tell the child to remember a time he faced a scary situation and overcame it or learned something hard. Picturing a previous success makes anyone feel more confident. 5. Tell the child to pretend holding a slice of pizza, inhale the aroma by breathing in deeply through the nose and cool the pizza by blowing out through the mouth. Focused breathing sends the brain a message that it’s time to relax. 6. Download some anti-anxiety apps. Try the Meditation Jar, iTunes, free. Set the timer, shake the phone, and watch the particles settle. This app gives kids something to gaze at as they quiet down, or breathe.

Treating pain associated with cancer

ain is not always a side effect of cancer, but many people do experience pain while battling this potentially deadly disease. People who have

been diagnosed with cancer should know that they donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have to accept pain as a normal part of their disease, and there are plenty of options at their disposal to alleviate their pain. According to the American Cancer Society, all pain can be treated, and most of it can be controlled or relieved. How physicians treat pain will depend on the type of pain and its cause, but the following are some options doctors may discuss with their patients who are experiencing pain. Medication: The type of medication doctors prescribe will depend on a host of factors, including the level of pain their patients are dealing with. Non-opioids like acetaminophen, aspiring or ibuprofen may be used to treat mild to moderate pain, though patients who are having surgery or receiving chemotherapy may need to steer clear of non-steroidal, anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) like aspirin and ibuprofen because

they can slow blood clotting. Opioids, which include oxycodone and morphine, may be prescribed for moderate to severe pain. Pain caused by swelling or pressure may be treated by prescription steroids, such as prednisone and dexamethasone. Surgery: The ACS notes that surgery may be an option to reduce pain associated with cancer. Nerve pathways carry pain impulses to the brain, but when these impulses are interrupted, they never make it to the brain and the feelings of pain and pressure cannot be felt. To block these pathways, neurosurgeons may cut nerves, but such surgery is irreversible, so cancer patients should expect their physicians and surgeons to explore other avenues before recommending surgery. Epidural: An epidural is a method of pain relief in which medicine is injected into the space around the layers of the spine. Doctors may implant a pump so they can get pain medicines right around the nerves, and the

treated area may experience numbness or weakness as a result. Nerve block: Another way to treat pain associated with cancer is via a nerve block, a procedure in which a local anesthetic is injected into or around a nerve. If doctors do not choose that option, the anesthetic, which is often combined with a steroid, may be injected into the space around the spinal cord to block pain. While the injection makes it impossible for the nerve to relay pain to the brain, the nerve block may cause muscle paralysis or a loss of all feeling in the affected area. Managing pain associated with cancer can be difficult, but patients dealing with such pain can discuss the many pain treatment options at their disposal with their physicians.

How to find the right oncologist for you

he day a person is diagnosed with cancer is a life-altering moment. Many people rely on support networks made up of family and friends to

help them during their cancer treatments, and such support networks can extend to patients’ choice of oncologists as well. Oncology is a branch of medicine involved in the diagnosis and treatment of tumors. The term “oncology” is derived from the Greek word “onco,” meaning bulk or mass. Upon diagnosing patients with cancer, oncologists explain the type of cancer patients have and explain the various treatment options available to patients. Oncologists also are on call to answer any questions and are often the first people patients turn to when they have questions about their disease. Taking an active role in their cancer treatment can help patients feel more in control of their situations, and patients’ choice of oncologist is one of the first big decisions they must make. Start with a referral. Begin by speaking with your primary care physician. He or she

may have a list of recommended oncologists or ones affiliated with nearby hospitals. If a loved one has battled cancer in the past, ask him or her for a recommendation. Do your research. The goal is to find an oncologist who specializes in your form of cancer and has a good treatment success rate. Do not be afraid to ask about success statistics and ask for prior patients’ names so you can get their opinions on the care they received. Look up the doctor’s credentials as well. For example, HealthGrades.com provides information on malpractice and disciplinary history. Consider a group practice. As with other medical providers, some oncologists work together in full partnerships with other oncologists. Choosing this type of provider may enable you to gain the benefit of the doctors’ collaborative experience. Judge communication style and compas-

sion levels. Does the doctor answer your questions in a manner that fits with your personality? Do you feel supported by the doctor and that he or she exudes empathy? Oncologists need to walk the fine line between qualified medical provider and friend. Look into insurance coverage. While you may want to go with one particular doctor, you must investigate if your insurance covers that particular oncologist. Otherwise, outof-pocket expenses may be considerably high. Look into the hospital. Consider the quality of care at the hospital where the oncologist will treat you as a patient. Hospital quality can matter based on the type of care given, proximity to the patient’s home and reputation. A qualified, compassionate oncologist can make it easier to navigate a cancer diagnosis.

HVAC Inspection Advised To Prepare For Cold Months

he leaves may be falling now, but winter is just around the corner. Don’t wait until cold weather arrives to make sure the heating system can take on the chill. Properly preparing the heating system for winter requires only a few hours of time and guarantees comfort during the colder months. No one wants to have their furnace breakdown in the middle of winter! Regular check-ups and maintenance ensure that the system is performing efficiently and providing optimum home comfort. A maintenance plan also extends the life of equipment, increases cost effectiveness and ensures safe operation. Recommended by manufacturers and utilities alike, regularly scheduled maintenance on a heating and air conditioning system can reduce breakdowns by as much as 95 percent and lower utility bills by up to 35 percent. Air Group offers a wide choice of service plans for heating, air conditioning, plumbing, electrical & generator systems. A service technician is available 24 hours a day seven days a week from October-April for heating through its on-call rotation, which is especially important during extreme weather when someone is entrusted to get equipment going right away.

Full ully y Insured Insured Frree ee Estimates Estimates

The easiest and most cost-effective way to keep a system running efficiently is to enroll in an Air Group Priority Plus Maintenance Plan. Tune-ups catch small problems before they become major breakdowns. Get other membership benefits, like priority service to jump to the head of the line and be scheduled ahead of others. This applies to both routine and emergency calls. Also receive a 15 percent discount off the bottom line for heating, air conditioning and plumbing services for as long as the service partner relationship remains in effect. And on top of all that, get a peace of mind. The home’s plumbing, heating and air conditioning systems will be assessed to ensure they are in safe operating condition; findings will be reported, concerns will be explained and potential emergencies will be alerted before they become disruptive problems. Check out this helpful checklist to ensuring the furnace runs smoothly and efficiently throughout the entire snowy season. Replace the furnace filter. Check to see if the filter is full of debris since the last time it was replaced. A dirty filter can cause the furnace to work harder than it has to, and decrease airflow, making it to use more energy and

shortening the lifespan of the furnace. Now is also the time to service the humidifier by changing the water filter. Check vents and ductwork. Be sure the supply and return vents are free and clear while also being sure they are not blocked with furniture or clothes. The air must circulate through the rooms to heat them properly. Air leaking from the basement or attic ductwork is air that should be traveling to rooms. Thoroughly check ducts and their connections to make sure they are secure, and seal air leaks properly before turning on the furnace for the winter. Schedule a maintenance call. Having the furnace thoroughly cleaned and inspected by one of the experienced HVAC professionals at Air Group LLC before the start of the winter can make sure that the unit will run efficiently and will fix any potential problems before they grow into bigger concerns. Need the furnace inspected? If the furnace wasn’t inspected yet, don’t delay. Contact the experts at Air Group, certified HVAC experts with more than 50 years of experience, call at 1-800-545-1020 or schedule an appointment online at airgroupllc.com.

Halloween Pumpkin-Carving Pointers

ransforming pumpkins into cleverly carved creations is a Halloween tradition. Each October, glowing pumpkins take up residence near doorsteps and porches, adding to the magical ambiance of the season. Young and old spend time designing their themes and then taking knife to pumpkin to achieve the desired effects. Carving pumpkins into jack-o’-lanterns can be traced back centuries to Ireland and a story about “Stingy Jack.” The tale involves Jack outwitting the Devil twice, the second time freeing the Devil from a prank in exchange for the promise that he would not claim Jack’s soul should Jack die. When Jack did die, God did not want the unsavory character in heaven, but the Devil could not claim Jack for hell. Therefore, Jack was relegated to roam the planet indefinitely with only a burning coal to light his way. Jack put that coal into a carved-out turnip. His ghostly figure was referred to as “Jack of the Lantern.” Later on it was shortened to “Jack O’Lantern.” When Irish immigrants arrived in North America, turnips weren’t plentiful, so jack-o’lanterns were instead carved into pumpkins. Today, many people carve jack-o’-lanterns, with some featuring just smiling or grimacing faces while others are far more artistic creations. These tips can help anyone carve a pumpkin. • Begin with a fresh pumpkin. Look for a pumpkin with a green stem. If the

pumpkin has been sitting around for too long or has been handled too much, the stem can get brittle and/or fall off. A thick, fresh pumpkin is best for carving. • Plan your ideas. Draw a plan for your pumpkin before you make your first cut. Then transfer that design to the pumpkin with pen or a thin marker. Pumpkin-carving kits come with designs that can be “traced” by poking small holes to create the outline of the design. • Don’t cut all the way through. Many professional pumpkin artists do not actually cut clear through the flesh of the pumpkin. They carve and shave off layers of the outer rind until it becomes more translucent. The level of transparency can be adjusted based on how much skin is removed and as a way to add texture and shadowing. The more air that is allowed to penetrate the pumpkin, the faster

it will start to degrade. • Delay carving until the last minute. Wait until the day before Halloween to begin carving. Pumpkins are a perishable item, and they’ll begin to rot as soon as you begin carving. Spritzing them with water can help them stay fresh, but there’s no turning back the clock once the first cut is made. • Cut a hole in the back. According to Brooklynbased Maniac Pumpkin Carvers, cutting off the top of the pumpkin can affect its structural integrity and cause it to rot faster. Instead, cut a hole in the back of the pumpkin and use an electric light to illuminate it. LEDs are adviseable because they don’t generate much heat, which can cook and rot the pumpkin from the inside out. With some creativity and a little know-how, anyone can create an eye-catching jack-o’-lantern.

Families Attend Free Lawn Party At Thomas Edison’s Glenmont Estate

by Michele Guttenberger n Sat., Sept. 24, the Thomas Edison National Historic Park site offered a free family day of family activities. It was in the tradition of Edison’s own family’s lifestyle with the participation of some outdoor games that were popular with them. After a summer of family programs at the Edison Factory Lab site, it was a nice program change to have the official first days of fall outdoors at Glenmont. This is the home and estate of Thomas and Mina Edison. Like Edison’s factory laboratory it too is part of the National Historical Park Site. Glenmont resides inside the gated

community of Llewellyn Park and visitors were instructed to pick up a car pass from the Laboratory Visitor Center first. Thomas Edison was there to greet family guests to his lawn party in spirit with a lifesize cardboard cutout of this famous Llewellyn Park neighbor. Families got to experience a historic view of West Orange’s prosperous suburbia during the early 20th Century. This was an emerging era of New Jersey’s train commuters and family suburb living. It had a comforting combination of modern electric conveniences while retaining the traditional barn of riding horses and a place for fresh egg laying hens. The park

Did You Know?

tiquette regarding gratuities varies across the globe, and tipping may not be required in certain parts of the world. In fact, according to the travel resource ShermansTravel, tipping actually may be deemed offensive in some areas of the world. In various countries, travelers may not be required to tip. Countries in

which gratuities are unnecessary include Australia, Belgium, China, France, Italy, Japan, New Zealand, Singapore, and Vietnam. Travelers who want to avoid offending local workers can refer to travel guides before visiting foreign countries to determine whether tipping is de rigueur or unexpected.

ranger curators of the site have preserved a time capsule of the way things were when the Edison’s family lived there. The park rangers had organized programs that made this free family day both an educational and delightful experience. Activities included tours of the 29-room Victorian Mansion and tours of the poured concrete garage which houses a circa 1900 Locomobile, 1922 Model T and the 1936 Brewster belonging to son Charles Edison, Governor of NJ in 1940. Kids got to enjoy water color painting and obstacle course races on the lawn, Victorian board games, Junior Ranger activities, tree and leaf identification, and birding activities. Adults enjoyed strolling through the 15-acre estate, garage, greenhouse and the gravesite of Thomas and Mina Edison. It is noteworthy history to mention the 38-year-old widower Thomas Edison got a second chance at being a family man at Glenmont with his second wife Mina and their three younger children. Mina gave birth to all her children there and Edison peacefully passed away in his bed at Glenmont at age 84. This place was an attraction

for neighborhood friends, associates and world dignitaries alike who were given guest invitations by Mrs. Edison. Now today’s pubic can reenact the experience of being an invited guest to the Edison home. For more info on special family fall programs at Thomas Edison National Historical Park in West Orange.

Inspiration from the Editor...

Motivation Sweetens The Recipe For Weight Loss

t a recent exercise class, a new member walked in at least half way into the start of class. No biggie, I was few minutes late myself. But when I noticed that she was exercising without any shoes on, I thought well now that’s motivation! The instructor stopped class and ran out to her car thinking she had an extra pair in her trunk, as they happen to wear the same size, but realized they were no longer there. When asked where her shoes were, the member responded, ‘I just couldn’t find them.’ Exercise and dieting go hand and hand, most trainers and fitness consultants would agree, when it comes to weight loss. But it is that third element that makes all the difference. Like drinking coffee without cream and sugar, trying to lose weight without that key ingredient, motivation, it just does not mix well. No matter what the goal, success is hard to achieve without that motivation. Some may give up their lunch hour to walk four miles every day. Others may give up something they love like eating dessert or drinking alcohol. Some figure if they exercise everyday they will lose weight, but that is not always

the case. Most individuals, once they reach that magical age of 45, need to push themselves even harder or add on even more exercise to their regular routine. Instead of running four miles, run twice that day and try for six miles. One dad I know spent his free time running his kids around to activities. But he found his motivation when he jumped on that treadmill 11 p.m. at night to still squeeze in that run while others would probably be watching the news or hitting the hay. Back to that woman at my class, as we were doing our squats, she looked at me with an expression of pain. The class was challenging. I looked at her and told her I admire her motivation. This mother was late to class, missing almost half of it, but still showed up without shoes on her feet. Toward the end of class, two other women came in to the building, not to exercise, but to set up for a funeral repass for a friend who just died. As they were arranging the tables and lining up the trays filled with delicious pastries as the sweet aroma of coffee filled the room, we were toning with our weights, doing sit ups on the mat and stretches at the end. I was grateful and appreciative for that moment that I was able to be part of a group

State Bill Provides Free Access To State Parks For Disabled Veterans

egislation Assemblymen John DiMaio and Jay Webber sponsor providing disabled state veterans with free admission to state parks and forests received approval recently from the Assembly Military and Veterans’ Affairs Committee. “Many of our veterans suffer from a multitude of debilitating health issues,” said DiMaio (R-Warren). “Some have lost a limb or limbs while for others the wounds of war sometimes go beyond what the eyes can see. Regardless of whether a veteran has a physical or psychological disability, they have paid a steep price preserving the freedoms of our nation. It’s a debt we can never repay, but we can show our thanks through small efforts such as this.” Webber added, “Many veterans have debilitating physical or mental

health issues that leave them unable to work (R-Morris). As a result, many face tremendous challenges, including financial difficulties. We can never repay the huge debt we owe to these courageous soldiers. This small gesture, however, will allow our men and women who were disabled in service to our country an opportunity to visit our state’s 50 plus state parks where they can enjoy the beautiful scenery, beaches and fishing.” The bill (A-717) provides free admission to New Jersey’s state parks and forests to honorably discharged members of the U.S. armed forces who have a service-connected disability. It allows free access to state park beaches by motor vehicle in order to fish there, including an exemption for mobile sport fishing vehicle permits.

of women sharing in an exercise class bonded by the same goal of taking care of our most precious gift from God. We have one body and must be disciplined to take care of it no matter what it

takes. Wearing athletic shoes does help of course, but if ‘by any means necessary’ is your motto, and that works for you, by all means, that is the way to go to lead you to a path toward better health and fitness.

aving more money does not necessarily make a person more generous. According to an analysis of U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics data, in 2007 the poorest one-fifth of Americans donated 4.3 percent of their incomes — more than double the percentage pledged by the nation's richest one-fifth, who gave just 2.1 percent of their incomes. There is no firm rule on donating, and every bit can help. Many people aspire to donate between 3 and 10 percent of their taxed incomes. Donors should just be sure they are able to cover bills and typical living expenses before giving to charity.

Keeping Kids Active in Cooler Temperatures like pinecones, acorns and leaves as you go and to be on the lookout for wildlife to observe. After the hike, take out art and craft supplies and help them create projects with the items they found. Plan an indoor scavenger hunt. When a really cold day comes along, send your kids on a fun and active scavenger hunt around the house, searching for items that you can hide in advance. Work together as a family to locate the items or create some friendly family competition to see who can find all the items first. Having the family move around the house with a mission prevents the temptation of staying on the couch in front of the television all day. Join a class or indoor sports team. Whether you are playing a favorite sport or learning a new one, it is always more fun with other people. Longer stretches of active play are often more likely to occur with friends or siblings. Sign your children up for an indoor sport or class they have never tried before, such as gymnastics, rock climbing, swimming or dance. This allows your children to learn something new, meet kids their age and be active for an extended period of time. Volunteer. While giving back is always in season, this time of year is a perfect opportunity to teach kids about giving back to those in need and being grateful for what they

s the weather gets colder, it can be harder to motivate kids to step away from their computers and devices and get off the couch. However, it’s essential for kids to participate in active play all year round. According to research from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, regular physical activity helps build and maintain healthy bones and muscles, promotes psychological well-being and reduces feelings of depression and anxiety. Sadly, physical activity is becoming less of a priority in kids’ daily routines. A recent survey conducted by Let’s Play, an initiative from Dr Pepper Snapple Group to make active play a daily priority, found that 64 percent of parents said busy schedules stand in the way of more active play for their children, up from 56 percent in 2015. Each season brings its own opportunities for play, and fall is no exception. Families can beat the cold weather blues and stay active together by trying some of the following activities: Plan a nature walk to find inspiration and materials for art. Even though it’s chilly outside, your family can still get out and enjoy the outdoors. Bundle up and take a nature hike with your kids around the neighborhood or at a local, national or state park. Encourage your kids to collect items

How To Find A Qualified, Compassionate Pet Sitter

ore and more pet owners are taking their fourlegged friends with them when they travel. But some vacations or business trips are not petfriendly, and such excursions may require pet owners to enlist the services of professional pet sitters. Friends and family members may be able to look after pets when their owners are away for a few days. But when no one is close by to check in on or foster a pet, pet sitters and animal boarding facilities may be the only option available to pet owners. Pet sitters also may be able to step in when owners’ last-minute plans interfere with their ability to care for their pets. Finding the right facility or individual pet sitter requires a little work. Here are some ways to weed out the qualified and professional pet sitters from those who might not be the best fit. • Ask for recommendations. Seek advice from friends or family members who have used pet sitters in the past. If that does not prove fruitful, speak with your veterinarian. He or she may have a relationship with an animal boarder or a pet-sitting service. Some veterinarians also have employees on staff who provide this kind of service, and such situations can be especially beneficial for owners of older or special-needs pets. An alternative to personal and professional recommendations is to employ a certified pet sit-

ter from either The National Association of Professional Pet Sitters or Pet Sitters International. • Get a feel for the sitter’s personality. It can be beneficial to find a sitter whose energy levels and temperament are a good match with your pet. A young, boisterous puppy may not be a good match for an older sitter. Sitters who understand an animal’s specific needs and how to cater to those needs may perform their duties more effectively than less experienced sitters. • Compile a questionnaire. The Humane Society of the United States has a comprehensive list of qualifications you can use to screen potential pet sitters. These should include questions about liability insurance coverage and if companies that employ pet sitters are bonded to protect against theft. Pet sitters also should provide references. • Maintain the pet’s normal routine. According to pet expert Cesar Millan, it’s best to have the pet watched in his or her natural surroundings so they have a level of familiarity with their surroundings and schedules. When this is not possible, boarders should try to keep the same walking, play and feeding schedules. • Spell out all the details. Before hiring a sitter, make a list of requirements and make sure they are discussed and included in signed contracts. • Employ trial and error. Sometimes you have to take a

chance and give a pet sitter an opportunity to prove his or her merit. Afford the pet sitter some time to meet your pet in your presence and watch for how your pet reacts to the sitter. After the sitter’s first day on the job, look for indicators that may suggest the experience was not the right fit for your pet. Fearfulness in the pet, signs or smells that accidents occurred, property damage, or injuries to an animal may be evidence of a poor pet sitter. Pet owners sometimes require the service of pet sitters who can help them feel at ease when they need to leave home for business or pleasure.

Amazing Terrier Mix Deserves Home

eet Chia Lonestar from Eleventh Hour Rescue. Chia is a very sweet terrier mix with big, beautiful eyes who is about two years old.
