For three boys in Long Valley the ap-
proaching cold weather signals op-
portunity, the opportunity to make
some money in their small business selling
firewood.Earlier this year their parents Brian and
Gretchen Decillis, decided to “challenge the
boys to come up with a business idea.
Hopefully they would make some moneyand learn some stuff,” said Brian Decillis.
“As a kid I was always involved with small
businesses. Kids don’t deliver newspapers,
or mow their neighbor’s lawns anymore. It
is a real shame.”
The three Decillis boys, like most kidstheir age enjoy listening to iPods, playing
video games and going on the internet, buttheir parents strive to not let them “get too
pulled in with that stuff.” They are busy ac-
tive kids and their parents recognize thevalue of real world experiences.
The boys themselves thought up the idea
of having a firewood business. The Decillis
property had some damage three years ago,
due to Hurricane Sandy. Brian Decillis had
had quite a lot of trees that he had to cut
down, chop and split into firewood. It hassat and seasoned for a while, which makes
for better burning, thus giving the boys a
ready commodity to offer for sale.
“There was a lot of brainstorming,’ saidDecillis, remembering how the boys came
up with the idea and the name “3 Brothers
Firewood,” aptly named as it is an equal
partnership between them. Each boy brings
their specific attributes and skills to the
partnership.Nicholas, age 10, is the oldest of the
partners and is currently a fifth grader at theOld Farmers Road School where all three
boys attend. Nicholas is active in sports and
a good student. Being that he is the oldest,a lot of the physical work of moving the

Reduce, reuse and recycle materialswhenever possible to create lesswaste. Waste on our streets ends up
in storm drains and contributes to storm waterpollution. Pick up litter on your property, es-pecially after trash and recycling days, andput it in the trash. Always use a public trashcan for trash in public areas.
Never throw litter and debris directly intostorm drains. Such debris washes into water-ways and onto stream banks, causing harm toplant and animal life.
Make sure to properly dispose of leftoverhousehold chemicals, paints and automotivefluids. These leftover chemicals shouldnever be thrown away.
Clogged storm drains can cause streetflooding and traffic congestion. Debris onstreets washes directly into local streams. Tolearn more about storm water and keepingwaterways clean, visitwww.cleanwaternj.org.
Storm water flows through a storm drainand travels through underground pipes toriver, lakes and streams. Storm drains are lo-cated in parking lots and along the curbs of roadways.
Urbanization and increasing commercialand residential development have a great im-
pact on local water resources. Impervioussurfaces such as roads, rooftops and parkinglots do not allow storm water to soak into theground. Less water soaking into the groundlowers ground water levels, which can dry upstreams, harm stream ecosystems and reducethe supply of well water.
Increased storm water runoff means agreater volume of water carrying pollutioninto surface waters. Contaminants carried bystorm water include: litter, cigarette butts andother debris from roads and sidewalks, motoroil, settled air pollutants, pet wastes, yardwaste and pesticides and fertilizers from lawncare. Keeping debris out of storm drains,picking up pet waste, recycling motor oil andreducing pesticide use will help keep ourstreams and groundwater clean.
Rain gardens are one way to help reducethe amount of runoff coursing into localstreams. A rain garden is a specialized gardenthat contains plants which are exceptional atabsorbing rainwater, like sedges, rushes,ferns, and certain shrubs. There are specificguidelines for preparing the soil, includinggrading the land so that rainwater flows to-wards the plants. Rain gardens are easy tobuild; choose plants that benefit native in-sects and butterflies. Take a close look at two

The Chester Theatre Group presents
the Broadway musical "The Secret
Garden" starting Fri., Nov. 20 andextending for ten shows through Sun.,
Dec. 6. Performances are Fri. and Sat.at 8p.m. and Sun. at 2 p.m. Tickets are $25
with a discounted price of $20 for seniors
over 65 and students under 18. Ticketsmay be purchased online at
www.chestertheatregroup.org.
The Secret Garden is based on the clas-
sic children's novel by Frances Hodgson
Burnett. Set in Colonial India and Eng-
land at the turn of the twentieth century,"The Secret Garden" tells the story of
Mary Lennox an 11 year old girl whose
parents die during a cholera epidemic.Sent to live with her uncle Archibald, who
is still mourning the loss of his wife Mary,Mary finds she is alone and lost in a
grown up world. Eventually she meets her
cousin Colin, a sick boy who can't get out
of bed, but everything changes when they
find each other, and the magic of the gar-den.
Written by Tony Award winning play-wright Marsha Norman, with music by
Lucy Simon, "The Secret Garden" is filled
with gothic imagery, unresolved grief, anda touch of the supernatural. “The Secret
Garden” is more Harry Potter than Hans
Christian Andersen. The rich Lucy Simon
score includes several celebrated songs
from the contemporary musical theater
canon, including “Come to My Garden,”“A Bit of Earth”, and the show stopping
duet “Lily's Eyes.” Dubbed by TIME
Magazine "the best American musical of the Broadway season" in its 1991 pre-
miere, the original cast featured MandyPatinkin as Archibald Craven, Rebecca
Luker as Lily, and a Tony Award winning
"The Secret Garden" Opens At Chester Theater Groupportrayal of Mary Lennox by Daisy
Eagan.
The Chester Theatre Group performs in
The Black River Playhbouse, an intimate,
100-seat theater in the heart of ChesterBorough’s historic district. The venue’s
in-the-round format ensures that every
seat offers an engaging, memorable expe-
rience for each audience member. For

building a robot, a new science and ro-
botics team from the Long Valley Mid-dle School is excited for upcoming
competition.With currently five eighth graders in the
group- Those Guys recently competed in its
first ever robotics competition. Held Nov. 1at Warren County Technical High School in
Washington against more than a dozen teams
throughout New Jersey, the Long Valley team
came in eighth at the end of five matches of
the FIRST FTC Meet.Selected to compete in the semi-finals,
Those Guys came in fourth. Not a bad start
for a group of buddies who only just estab-
lished themselves this past summer.“They are very excited,” says Tim Ry-
barski, coach of Those Guys and father of one of the members. With no history of a ro-
botics team at the middle school level or the
high school level, Rybarski hopes that this
grassroots team leads to a more established
robotics team at the high school.The idea of establishing a team came
about this past July when Rybarski’s wife,
Dawn, volunteered to judge an outreach ro-
botics scrimmage at Millburn High School.
“They let my son and his friend participateas a guest,” says Rybarski. “They got teamedup with a veteran team” from Livingston.
While the boys were doing their scrimmage,
“they convinced us ‘hey, you can do this.’”
From there, Rybarski reached out to the
organizer of the NJ FTC Chapter to find outmore information about starting a team; then
contacted some of his son’s friends and
formed Those Guys a few weeks later in Au-
gust.
“There is no robotics team in the schoolyet,” figures Rybarski, so why not? He went
ahead and spoke with principal at the middle
school, and already reached out to the high
school. “Hopefully we will use this team as
an example for the future.”
The team is made up of Rybarski’s son,Alec Rybarski, Ben Consigli, David Menke,
Derek Jenkins and John DelGuercio. After
its Nov. 1 competition, they were planning to
hold an informative discussion and demon-
stration at the Washington Township PublicLibrary in Long Valley on Wed., Nov. 4, to
talk about the league, competitions, the robot
they have been working on and technologies
being used.
FTC is designed for students in grades 7-
12 to compete head to head, using a sports
model. Teams are responsible for designing,
building, and programming their robots to
compete in an alliance format against other
teams. Teams are required to develop strategyand build robots based on sound engineering
principles. Awards are given for the compe-tition as well as for community outreach, de-
sign, and other real-world accomplishments.
In an effort to meet the community out-reach component, Those Guys were planning
to visit students at Old Farmers Elementary
School to give a presentation about their new
team.
To compete, Those Guys had to build“something” that could climb a 60 degree in-
cline and go over a rail, explains Rybarski,
who works as an engineer at Picatinny Arse-
nal. So they devised “something very tanklike” in order to “keep center of gravity ex-
tremely low or it will topple.” The tank hadto be less than 18 inches wide.
Those Guys had to write software to con-
trol the robot, CAD software to develop the
mechanical design of the robot, build the
robot, drive the robot and learn how to oper-ate the “pit” similar to “like changing flat
tires” on game day, explains Rybarski.
“We have a robot that works,” says Ry-
barski. While it is able to do the ‘elementary
things,” Rybarski says the “game is tricky.”There are different ways to score points likehitting levers and picking up things and put-
ting them in baskets. “It’s a game of scoring
points; climbing up the incline is one; to be
able to hang off a bar on this assembly. As far
as engineering, it’s quite a feat.”As the coach, with a background in elec-
trical engineering, computers and “hands-on”
knowledge when it comes to anything me-
chanical, Rybarski has been key to guiding
Those Guys in the right direction.“I present them with ideas but ultimately
they’re making a decision on what they do,”
he says. “I try to inject a little bit of wisdom
on what they are doing.”
With the first competition under their belt,
Those Guys plan to add more capabilities tothe robot and make some adjustments.
“We are still perfecting the functionality
of the robot,” says Alec Rybarski, 13, who
participated in building the robot as well as
the mechanical engineering, working withCAD.
“The initial design took approximately six
hours,” says Alec, who also plays travel soc-
cer, basketball, rugby and is on the track
team, ski club as well as 4H.
As a team player, Robotics is yet another

New Robotics Team In Long Valley Opens Up Doors To Technology For Today’s Youth
team for Alec to compete.“I have always been interested in math
and engineering so I became involved in
STEM programs at school and during the
summer where I began working with robots,”says Alec. “I enjoy the challenges it presents
working in a team environment.
The next competition for Those Guys is
in Dec. then Jan. 2016.
The team had to pay a flat registration of $275 to the league for a year; and also pur-
chase required components needed to build
the robot.
Rybarski had to impose yearly dues to themembers as fundraisers have not yet been or-
ganized to support the new team. He is seek-
ing some corporate grants.

The Morris County Agriculture De-
velopment Board has announced the
permanent preservation of the 127thfarm in Morris County, with the enrollment
of an eight-acre, 100 year old apple andpumpkin farm in Chester Township onto
the county’s preservation roster.
The Parks Farm, the latest preserved
farm, owned by the Parks Family, is locatedon old Route 24, and in an area of the
county in close proximity to other pre-
served farms and open space parcels.
The voter-approved Morris County
Open Space, Farmland, Floodplain Protec-tion and Historic Preservation Trust Fund
provided 100 percent of the $570,333 ease-
ment acquisition price.The purchases by the Morris CADB re-
strict the lands from non-agricultural uses,
thus permanently preserving the eight-acrefarm. This is the 21st preserved farm in
Chester Township, according to Katherine
Coyle, director of the Morris CADB.
“The county’s continuing efforts to pre-
serve our prime agricultural properties ben-efits our economy, benefits the farm
families who have given so much to this
county, and benefits the quality of life in
Morris County,’’ said Freeholder John Ce-saro who is the county governing board’s
liaison on preservation issues.Preservation of the Parks Farm brings
the total area of preserved farmland in the
County to 7,771 acres or the equivalent of
12 square miles. There are three more farmstargeted for preservation in 2015, including
one each in Mt. Olive, Chester and Wash-
ington townships.
In contrast to open space preservation,
in farmland preservation the landowner re-tains ownership of, and may even choose to
sell, the preserved farmland with a deed re-
striction ensuring that the land will not un-dergo non-farm development, Coyle said.
Agricultural development of the farm is
permitted and the type of farming activitycan change in the future. The Morris
County Farmland Preservation program
began with the permanent preservation of
the Cupo Farm, a 14-acre farm in Washing-
ton Township, on Dec. 28, 1987. Since1987, an additional 125 farms have been
Morris County Preserves 127th Farm In Chester Township
permanently preserved.
Washington Township ranks first in
farmland acreage in the county with 10,815
acres. Chester Township is second in the
county in the number of preserved acresand ranks second in farmland acreage with
3,888 acres.

Imagine thirty to forty years ago if you were told that laserswould replace scalpels in surgery or that robotic instrumentswould build cars; you may not have believed it. By the same
token would you believe that chiropractic treatments could be per-formed using a special hand-held instrument developed by NASAscientists; all while you were sitting in an upright position withoutturning or twisting movements?
Advances in computers and engineering technologies have beenable to uniquely blend with chiropractic in order to both analyzeand treat the human body in such a way that was never before real-ized.
According to Dr. Michael S. Hyjek, “This new form of comput-erized treatment is so gentle and effective, that it amazes even themost skeptical patients. It’s called the Impulse IQ Adjuster and isthe latest, state-of-the-art technology in existence today, and theonly one in the Long Valley area”
The Impulse IQ Adjuster can safely and gently analyze and treatthe spine and other joints to remove the nerve impingement that isoften the cause of pains in the low back, neck, shoulder and else-where in the body. It also works on a variety of muscular conditions
to loosen tight muscles with ease and comfort. Many patients saythat it’s 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 plantarfasciitis are being helped. It is also covered by most insurance com-panies including medicare.
Dr. Michael S. Hyjek, “the secret to the Impulse IQ Adjuster liesin its advanced piezoelectric sensor that is able to detect the slightestamount of restriction in a joint and then deliver an extremely pre-cise adjustment.” He says that “Even though traditional forms of adjusting also work, people are drawn to this new technique becauseof how gentle it is and does not involve any twisting, especially in
the neck. Many people love getting adjusted withtraditional manual techniques, all of which aresafe and effective, but there are a large number of people who never get to experience the amazingbenefits of chiropractic because they are scared tohave their spines adjusted in that way,” says Dr.
Michael S. Hyjek, Now, there is no longer a reason for any-one to be weary. The Impulse IQ Adjuster is perfect for any-one who has been thinking about going to a chiropractor, buthasn’t yet made that decision. Dr. Michael S. Hyjek, wantseveryone to be able to experience these same benefits and if you have any of the following conditions, the Impulse IQAdjuster may be the answer you’ve been looking for…
• Low back discomfort • Fibromyalgia• Sciatic nerve pain * Planter Fascitis• Neck and shoulder pain • Knee or hip pain• TMJ dysfunction • Scoliosis• Carpal Tunnel Syndrome • Arthritis• Headaches • Sports injuriesTreatment with the Impulse IQ Adjuster is consistent,
measurable and extremely gentle. There is no guesswork,and it’s safe for individuals of all ages. Call our office todayand mention this article to receive a FREE Impulse IQ ad- juster analysis to pin-point your problem area and see howthe Impulse IQ Adjuster can help. Call within the next 7 daysand you will also receive a complimentary nerve stress scan

In recognition of Veterans Day, on Nov.11, Morris County Veterans Services, theMorris County Library, and the Morris
County Dept. of Planning and Public Works
have set up a “Veterans’ November” presen-tation.The month-long display will focus on the
Vietnam War. The Wall listing the names of the 67 soldiers and sailors from MorrisCounty who are listed on the Vietnam WarMemorial in Washington, D.C. has beenrecreated in the gallery of the Morris CountyLibrary in Whippany.
In addition, other details of interest re-garding the war and Morris County’s connec-tion, are displayed.
“The men and women who served their
country in Vietnam during a very difficult pe-riod in our country’s history, and who did notalways come home to a warm return wel-come, and those who gave their lives in thatforeign encounter, deserve to be honored,”said Freeholder Director Kathy DeFillippo.
“I ask county residents to take time to visitthis display, and remember the names of those who did not return to their families andtheir communities.”
Charles Jurgensen, Morris County Veter-
ans Affairs officer, said “The veterans depart-ment of the County of Morris is proud to beassociated with this terrific presentation,which honors our veterans and their families.
We adhere to President Lincoln’s words afterthe Civil War concerning those soldiers whofought the battle: “To care for him who shallhave borne the battle and for his widow, andhis orphan.’’
The Vietnam Wall: Within living memory.Fifty years have passed since U.S. groundtroops arrived in Vietnam. Featured in thiscommemoration at the Morris County Li-brary are the names of 67 Morris County sol-diers and sailors who lost their lives inVietnam, with their corresponding Line andPanel numbers from “The Wall” memorial in
Washington, DC.The story of a Vietnam “War Dog” is dis-played.
Visitors may leave messages of apprecia-tion to all Vietnam War veterans in the guestbook.
Additionally, Morris County Distin-guished Service Medal applications are avail-able.
The display will remain in the librarythroughout November.

re you ready for the boxes andpackages that are set to arrive
under the tree? If your home annu-ally bursts with everything from children’stoys to electronics to clothing, it may betime to take inventory and prepare for thegifts that have yet to find their way intoyour home.
Before the first strand of garland goes upand before you begin thinking about holi-day wish lists, set a plan in motion to reducewhat you already have in the house. Thisproject can include the entire family and tieinto holiday volunteerism that highlightsthis season of giving.
There’s a very good chance that your
closets are brimming with items that arecollecting dust or haven’t seen the light of day in some time. Make these the fist thingsto go. If something hasn’t been used in ayear or more, add it to the donation pile.
Kids’ rooms and play areas may be someof the areas most overrun with belongings.Children are likely to get many new toysand other gifts throughout the year, so focusmost of your energy on these spaces, cut-ting kids some slack if they don’t want topart with certain items.
If children are reluctant to part with
some of their belongings, stress the point
that donating helps others who are less for-
tunate. Involve kids in the donation process,
letting them see where their unused clothes
and other supplies will go. This can make
giving away older toys less traumatic and
more personal.
Adults also should pay attention to any
belongings they can spare. Take advantage
of holiday donation trucks in the area to
clear your home of bulky sweaters, linens,
older furniture, or kitchen supplies. These
trucks service some well-known charities
and associations, and items will be appre-
ciated and put to great use.
Use the weeks prior to the holiday rush
to create space for any gifts that might be
arriving under your tree before Christmas
Day. A little cleaning and decluttering can
go a long way toward helping the less for-
tunate in your community.
Preparing your home for new gifts What would Christmas gift-givingbe without a tree under which toplace the presents? Tree shop-
pers have plenty of variety to choose fromwhen selecting that ideal tree. Approxi-
mately 21,000 Christmas tree farms existin the United States, and these farms sellbetween 30 and 35 million real trees each
year. Those who prefer artificial trees canshop for everything from trees that appearto be natural to pastel-hued boughs. Thefirst printed reference to a Christmas treewas made in 1531 in Germany. Since
then, Christmas trees have grown in popu-larity through the centuries.

Let your loved ones become warm & cozy.!!Give them one of our
“Gift Cards” for the holidays!
The holiday season is a time to celebrate withfriends and family. Several holidays are cele-brated in this relatively short time period, making
this one of the most festive times of the year.Many holiday celebrations focus on the exchange of
presents, which may be exchanged with relatives, friendsand even coworkers. But are you familiar with the originsof exchanging gifts?
Gift exchanges trace their origins to both religious andsecular traditions, each of which has helped shape the hol-
Traditions behind holiday giftsidays into what they are today.
Christmas
People exchange gifts on Christmas Eve or Christ-mas Day all over the world. For Christians, Christmascelebrates the birth of Jesus Christ, who Christians be-lieve was a gift from the Creator.
From a religious standpoint, gifting others aroundChristmastime can be traced back to the stories of theThree Kings (also referred to as the “Three Wise Men”)who visited Jesus after his birth. Frankincense, a fra-grance involved in worship; gold; and myrrh, an incenseassociated with funerals, was presented. These giftssymbolized worship in Christ, that He would be theKing of Kings, and that suffering and death would cometo Him.
Another giver of gifts is part of many Christmas cel-
ebrations. St. Nicholas, a fourth century saint, is abeloved figure across the globe who has a reputation forgiving gifts in secret and helping the needy. The figureof “Santa Claus” is based on St. Nicholas, and the blend-ing of the two has evolved as history has mixed withfolklore and personal traditions.
Hanukkah
Hanukkah is an eight-day Jewish celebration thatcommemorates the rededication of the Temple inJerusalem. The word “hanukkah” actually means “ded-ication” in Hebrew.
The Jews, including Judah Maccabee, helped drivethe Syrians out of Jerusalem. In one of Judaism’s mostcentral texts, Maccabee and others witnessed a miracleat the temple. Even though there was only enough oil tokeep a menorah’s candles burning for one day, theflames continued for eight nights.
Traditionally, gelt, or money, was given as aHanukkah gift. Many Hanukkah gift givers aim to givegifts that are thoughtful and sweet. Money is not ex-changed as much today, with other gifts taking its place.
Kwanzaa
Kwanzaa is an American holiday that pays homageto traditions and cultural influences from Africa. Theholiday was developed in 1966 by Maulana NdabezithaKarenga. The focus of Kwanzaa is on family and theharvest as well as certain principles, such as unity and
faith.Gifts make up one of the seven symbols of Kwanzaa
celebrations. However, gift-sharing is not the centralpart of this special holiday. Gifts are symbolic of thelabor and love of parents and the commitments madeand kept by their children.
Gifts are exchanged in abundance this time of year.The traditions behind the giving of presents is far-reach-ing and based in religious, secular and cultural tradi-tions.

Along with the fragrant evergreens and twin-kling lights synonymous with the holidayseason, poinsettias make up a key compo-
nent of holiday decorating.Unlike holly and some of the other greenery that is
commonly associated with the holidays, poinsettias donot naturally thrive in the colder temperatures. Theseplants originate in southern Mexico and were consid-ered an exotic plant when first introduced to the United
States by Joel Robert Poinsett, the first American am-bassador to Mexico.
Poinsettias can be fickle plants and ones that gar-
dening novices may find challenging to maintain. Theplants are comprised of green foliage, colorful (often
red) flower bracts, and the actual flowers of the plants,which are the red or green buttonlike parts nestled inthe center of the bracts.
Because they are a tropical plant, poinsettias can bedamaged by exposure to low temperatures, even if
they are only exposed for short periods of time. Theyshould be wrapped and protected against the elementswhen brought home. For maximum plant life, poin-settias need to be placed near a warm, sunny window,or another area that has ample amounts of light. They
thrive in temperatures between 60 and 75 F and shouldbe kept away from warm or cold drafts.
Water the plant whenever the surface feels dry tothe touch. Water until it drains out the bottom, but
don’t let the plant sit in water. Over- or under-wateringcan cause leaves to drop prematurely and wilt. If yourhome lacks in humidity, you may need to water theplant more frequently. Poinsettias do not need to befertilized while the plant is in bloom.
The Ohio State University Extension says poinset-tias can be reflowered the following Christmas, butunless a yearlong schedule of care is observed, the re-
sults usually are not good. You can speak with a gar-dening expert or consult online resources for the
proper care schedule. Caring for a poinsettia year-round involves gradually drying out the plant and stor-ing it in a cool location. The plant later will be movedoutdoors and then back inside and pruned to keep afull shape.
Poinsettias are short-day plants, which means theyflower about 10 weeks after the daylight shortens toabout 12 hours or less. Therefore, to have the plant infull flower by Christmas, it will have to be kept incomplete darkness between 5 p.m. and 8 a.m. from the
first part of October until Thanksgiv-ing. Many people find the affordabil-ity of poinsettias makes it moreconvenient to buy new ones eachyear than try to fosterregrowth.
Contrary topopular belief, poin-settias are not poison-ous to humans oranimals, but theyshould not be in-gested due to the po-tential for allergicreactions. Poinsettias can helpremove pollutants from in-door air, which is advan-tageous during the wintermonths when doors and windows are typ-ically kept closed.
Select plants that have dark green foliageand no low or damaged leaves. This ensures thebest success for keeping poinsettias looking healthyand vibrant throughout the holiday season.
Keep poinsettias looking greatthrough the holidays

ings to consider when hosting for the holidays
Holiday hosts have a lot on their plates. The work of holiday hosting does not begin when the first guestarrives. It starts weeks before, when homeowners
begin preparing their homes for overnight guests.Because the holiday season can be so busy, it’s easy forhosts to overlook certain things as the day their first guestsare set to arrive draws nearer. But the following are a fewthings hosts should consider in the weeks before theirguests show up.
Accommodations
It’s hard to overlook accommodations when hosting forthe holidays, but it’s best to inspect linens and other items thatmight go largely unused throughout much of the year. Checkfoldout couches or air mattresses a few weeks before yourguests are slated to arrive. This gives you ample time to ad-dress any issues and also allows you to comparison shop andfind great deals on any items you need to replace. Hosts whoare parents to young children may want to discuss sleepingarrangements before guests arrive if kids will be asked tosleep in different beds. Kids might embrace the change, whileothers might be less enthusiastic. If younger cousins will bestaying over, let kids choose their new roommates, whichmight make them more excited about sharing rooms with theirguests. Explaining the situation in advance gives youngsterstime to ready themselves for their temporary move.
DietsAsk guests before they arrive if they have any particular
food allergies or items they need to avoid because of any med-ications they might be taking. This is especially important foryoungsters, who may forget to avoid homemade cookies withnuts despite having nut allergies. By asking in advance if yourguests have any food allergies or foods and ingredients theymust avoid, you will know to avoid serving particular dishesso no one accidentally eats foods that might make them sick
and you can prepare alternative dishes for people who must
avoid certain foods.
ActivitiesIf guests will be staying for several nights, explore a few
local activities so everyone can get out of the house for a nightor two. Time spent with family is one of the best parts of theholiday season, but spending all of that time inside in crampedquarters can grow uncomfortable over time. Plan a familynight or two out that everyone can enjoy.
Pets
When hosting for the holidays, let your guests know if youhave any pets. Some people have dog and cat allergies, andthose allergies may make it difficult for them to enjoy theirstay. Others’ allergies might be so severe that they have tofind alternative lodging. Let guests know about your petswhen you invite them to stay at your house so no one is sur-prised at the last minute. In addition, let guests know if theycan bring their own pets along to your house.
Hosting for the holidays is a great way to welcome lovedones into your home. Considering and discussing a few fac-tors before your guests arrive can ensure everyone enjoystheir stay.

Although the United States is re-
garded as the world’s wealthiest na-
tion, nearly 15 percent of all
American households struggle to put food
on the table. Regionally speaking, no one isdifferent than anyone else and that means
families in local communities are affected
by this national plight.
Food pantries are one way to help com-
bat the issue of hunger. Pantries provide nu-
tritious food to residents as a supplement to
their regular food shopping. Food is donated
by community members and organizations
that sponsor food drives to keep food
pantries stocked.
The Hackettstown-Mansfield PBA #369is sponsoring a fall food drive to benefit the
Trinity United Methodist Church food
pantry of Hackettstown. According to Sgt.
Darren Tynan, spokesman for the benefit,
“The Trinity’s Lord Food pantry feeds more
than 1,200 families on any given month.
The need increases drastically during the
holidays.”
Typically, recipients are a llowed to select
what they want using a shopping guide
based on the number of people in their
household. Modern day food pantries are
often described as ‘client choice’ where
clients select what they want for themselves.
This method allows the freedom of choiceand eliminates waste. Some food pantries
offer a supplemental USDA programs to
families that qualify such as WIC, Medi-
caid, Food Stamp Program and Temporary
Assistance to needy families.
Everyone needs a little help from time to
time. If in need of nutritional assistance, the
following are some regional food
pantry/service opportunities.

Interfaith Food Pantry

Basic items that every food pantry needsinclude: ready-to-eat meals, canned chili,boxed dinners, canned chicken, tuna, hamaad spam, rice, canned fruit and vegetables,snack bars, jelly, jam, peanut butter, pan-
cake mix, syrup, hot and cold cereals, cof-fee, tea, canned and bottle juices, shelf stable milk, juice boxes, cooking oil, may-onnaise, dressings, vinegar, laundry deter-gent, cleaning products, plastic garbagebags, sandwich bags, toilet paper, papertowels and personal hygiene items and toi-letries. Additional holiday items includegravy, cranberry sauce, stuffing, muffin mixand of course, turkeys.
According to Grace Murry of the Inter-
faith food pantry, in addition to offering
food pantry assistance, many locations offerhot meals that are open to the public avail-
able to anyone in need. Some food pantries
offer satellite locations, are opened only cer-
tain days of the week or may only be avail-
able to town or county residents. She
recommends calling ahead and notes that
“some food pantries require a face to face
interview so we can help better determine
the best, most appropriate or alternative or
additional services to aid families.”
Why not start a new family tradition and
spend some time volunteering at a food
pantry, soup kitchen or start a food pantrydrive? Get kids involved for a hands-on les-
son in giving back to the community. Re-
member, one in six Americans, at some
point, are impacted by hunger. Chances are
someone in every neighborhood, commu-
nity or Church will be impacted. The need
is year round, volunteers are always sought
and, every donation counts.

entenary Stage Company’s family
favorite holiday spectacular, “A
Christmas Carol: The Musical,”
returns to the Sitnik Theater on Nov. 27until Dec. 13 in the Lackland Center.

adults… a transfixing journey…” by “The
New York Times,” this imaginative re-
telling of Charles Dickens beloved classicis back by popular demand.
Boasting a cast and creative team of
more than 65 artists, “A Christmas Carol:
The Musical” not only signifies the start
of the holiday season for many but cele-
brates all of Centenary Stage Company’sprogramming by combining community

Theatre Department faculty and students,

professional guest artists.From the creators of “Beauty and the
Beast,” “The Little Mermaid,” “Ragtime”
and “Seussical,” “A Christmas Carol, The
Musical” is filled with beautiful melodies
by Alan Menken and memorable lyrics by
Lynn Ahrens. Ebenezer Scrooge is a pros-
perous curmudgeon who believes per-
sonal wealth is far more valuable than thehappiness and comfort of others. With an
infuriated "Bah! Humbug!" Scrooge sum-
mates his feelings of Christmas tidings
and charitable giving, but he's forced to
face his selfish ways when three ghosts onChristmas Eve lead him through his past,
present, and future. Thanks to their guid-
ance, Scrooge recognizes his faults and
greets Christmas morning with a cheerful
"Happy Christmas" before spending the
day reconnecting and sharing love withthose that mean the most to him.
Performances run from Nov. 27
through Dec. 13. Ticket prices are $27.50
and up for adults; $20 for children under

New Jersey Blood Services has
planned the following blood
drives:Nov. 27: Knights of Columbus 3665, in
Netcong, 8 a.m. to 2 p.m.
Nov. 27: Madison Area YMCA, Madison,
2 p.m. to 8 p.m.
Nov. 28: Presbyterian Church of Morris
Plains, Morris Plains 8 a.m. to 2 p.m.New Jersey Blood Services, a division
of New York Blood Center (NYBC) is ask-
ing for help to maintain an adequate supply
of all blood types, but especially O-nega-
tive – the “universal” blood which can be
transfused into anyone in an emergency. Inaddition, hundreds of additional blood
drives need to be scheduled to meet pro-
jected hospital demand. Current inventory
of several blood types is running below the
desired target level.“It’s simple: hospital patient demand
for blood often outpaces our best efforts to
recruit donors and schedule blood drives,”
said NYBC Executive Director of Donor
Recruitment Andrea Cefarelli. “There are
always reasons but we have to overcome
that for the sake of hospital patients whoneed us.”
“This is one of the toughest times of the
year,” Cefarelli added. “We’re asking for
our dedicated supporters to roll up their
sleeves to make sure we’re able to provide
our hospital partners with whatever theyneed to take care of their patients.”
Blood products have a short shelf life –
from five to 42 days, so constant replenish-
ment is necessary. Each and every day
there are patients who depend on the trans-
fusion of red blood cells, platelets andplasma to stay alive. But blood and blood
products can’t be manufactured. They can
only come from volunteer blood donors
who take an hour to attend a blood drive or
visit a donor center.To donate blood or for information on
how to organize a blood drive call 1-800-
933-2566; visit: www.nybloodcenter.org.

Amiracle with a ripple effect” is the theme for thisyear’s ecumenical nativity presentation to be heldDec. 6 at 5 p.m. at the Port Morris United
Methodist Church in Landing.Bringing together talents from St. Michael’s Roman
Catholic Church in Netcong, Flanders United MethodistChurch, Valley View Chapel in Long Valley, Grace Churchin Netcong, St. Margaret of Scotland in Morristown, and thehost church, the story of Jesus’ birth will be told through avariety of musical styles, skits, puppetry, vocal and pianomusic and harp. A free will offering will be taken to helpneedy children. There will be hospitality time after the pro-gram.
“This is very important to us,” said John Bingham of Flan-ders United Methodist Church. “We look forward to it everyyear and it is one of our highlights because it allows us to helpin sharing the story and to introduce everyone to new music.”
Bingham accompanies his wife Cathy on guitar. He saidthat they have participated in the nativity program for manyyears and they have never repeated a song. Searching forsongs to fit each year’s program has inspired the husband andwife duo to create songs or rework existing music to fit theneed. This year they are performing “A Baby Will Come”by Bill Wolf and “I’ll Never Find Another You,” an old Seek-ers song which Bingham has adapted for the program.
Several participants will be performing duets and solos.David Petrov and Paulie Kemmerer of the Port Morris UnitedMethodist Church will play a duet on piano and saxophone
and Jack Amato from St. Michael’s will do a piano solo on“We Three Kings.” Amato will also accompany JoAnnGreame from St. Michael’s on “Were You There On ThatChristmas Night?” and "Silent Night." Katie Williver of St.Margaret of Scotland will sing "Mary, Did You Know" andIssac Bayoh of Port Morris United Methodist Church willsing, "O Holy Night." Stephanie Gonzalez of Valley ViewChapel will also be a vocal soloist.
Supplying the sound of angels, will be harpist LindaPlanseon of Grace Church who will play, “It Came Upon AMidnight Clear.”
Planseon said, “Being part of the nativity story programhas been a very special part of giving a timeless message, al-ways presented in a fresh and unique perspective. It is a stepback in time as contributions of a wider community come to-gether in a quaint church - always special, always unique.Not so much as a performer, but partaking as participant andparishioner, you bring home the touching takeaway of the en-
during message of God's love come down.”The host church will take part in the program throughskits, puppetry and vocal music. Besides Bayoh as a soloist,the church has an accomplished accapella choir under the di-rection of Richard Boyer, Jr., who is well known for his workat Pax Amicus Theater. Scenes of Mary and the angel, theinn, shepherds, and the Wise Men and Herod will be shownthrough the talents of the church puppetry ministry directedby Tina Berchak and its youth Sunday School class taught byBoyer.
Nick Petrov, pastor of the Port Morris United Methodist
Church said, “December is a special time for Port MorrisUnited Methodist Church. At this time of the year, we aretouched personally by God’s love. The birth of Jesus is a pro-found and mysterious sign of God’s love for us. The ecumeni-cal Christmas arts program is a time when we celebrate God’slove together with people of different churches, denomina-tions, confessions and faiths. This year, again, we tell the na-tivity story of Jesus’ love for all the earth. It is a privilege forPort Morris UMC to host such an event.”
For more information, call Port Morris United MethodistChurch at 973-347-0381.
