 By Mildred Goodwin, Associate Editor

Colin Firth made this commentin an interview which I foundrather interesting: “A lot layunder the surface for me. Ididn’t catch it all on the firstread. It basically has the as-pect of something that is in-credibly light, a diversion. And

I think we all found in thetwists and turns that there wasan awful lot more. Before weknew it, people on the setwere discussing their own be-liefs, questions, about whatfaith means to people.”

“Magic In The Moonlight” isWoody Allen at his magicalbest. Yes, we have seen himin similar films before, and ifyou are a Woody Allen fan, Ido not think you will be disap-pointed. The cinematography

It was 1970 or 1971, justabout forty years ago that Ibecame aware of Woody Allenand his films. Do you remem-ber “Take The Money AndRun,” and “Bananas,” thosetwo goofy satires that pokedfun at politics, international af-

fairs, sex, and anything elsethat was relevant at the time? Iwas genuinely hooked andhave remained so ever since.Woody Allen has changed hisstyle over the years, but he isalways, at least to me, a mas-ter of his craft.

“Magic In The Moonlight,” isWoody’s latest film—his 43rd tobe exact, and stars Colin Firth,Emma Stone, Eileen Atkins andMarcia Gay Harden, written anddirected by Woody. Once again,he shows his curiosity aboutparanormal activity. In many ofhis writings and films, Woodyhas engaged ghostly spirits andsurreal plots to liven up the ac-tion on the screen. Do you re-member, “The Purple Rose OfCairo,” “Midnight In Paris,” “PlayIt Again, Sam,” to name but afew?

In this film, Stanly Crawford(Colin Firth) plays a famousEnglish magician in the nine-teen-twenties. It was difficultfor me to reconcile Colin Firth(“The King’s Speech”), as apseudo-Chinese illusionistnamed Wei Ling Soo. But Firthis the consummate actor andhe soon makes the characteras believable as possible. Al-though a magician by trade,Wei Ling Soo exposes frauds,particularly mediums who re-ceive communication from thespirit world.

Because of Soo’s ability todetect phonies, his old friendand fellow-magician, Howard(Simon McBurney), requeststhat Soo come to the south ofFrance to the country home ofthe wealthy Catledge family. Itseems that a beautiful, appeal-ing young American medium,Sophie Baker (Emma Stone)and her mother (Marcia GayHarden) are long-time guests

of the Catledge family.Sophie’s task is to keep thewidowed Mrs. Catledge happyby holding séances in whichthe late Mr. Catledge greetshis wife from the “other” world.This is profitable financiallyand keeps Sophie and hermother quite content.

When Stanley arrives inFrance and meets Sophie, heis no longer in the costume ofWei Ling Soo—Stanley ishandsome, attractive and, oh,so appealing to Sophie.Stanley, however, who is on adebunking mission and does

not believe in the psychicalhokum of which he is a mas-ter, does not want to becomeromantically involved. But hefinds himself becoming moreand more attracted to Sophieand instead of exposing her,Stanley falls in love with her.Of course, this is not surprisingto the audience—it is obviousfrom the very beginning of thefilm. But so what! It is charm-ingly delightful—a very “feelgood” story.

 Actually, the plot has its seri-ous, questioning moments and

How many times have youplayed a hand and had somany tricks, but couldn’t usethem, because you could notget to the dummy or back to

your own hand?This is called “entries.”

Here’s one example:♠  Q J 8 7♠  A K

How many tricks to youhave? It depends. You ap-parently have four tricks inthis suit but first you mustunblock the A K and thenreach the dummy to cash theremaining Q J.

This will be possible only ifyou have a dummy entry.This is called a blocked suit.

 As long as you can planahead and keep an entry to

the dummy, you are all set.Now look at this example:Dummy

♠  K Q♥  7 5 4 2♦  9 4 2♣  K J 4 3

Your Hand♠  A 3♥  A K Q J 10 8♦  A 5 3♣  A Q

The contract was sixhearts. West leads a low

spade. You apparently have13 top tricks; two spades, sixhearts, one diamond and fourclubs. That total will dropunless dummy has an entry

after the A Q of clubs hasbeen unblocked.You must win the first

spade trick in your hand withthe ace. Now, draw trumps,play the A Q clubs and crossto the dummy’s spade K,play the K J of clubs andyou’ve made your contract.

Newer players should putthese cards on the table.This will help facilitate under-standing these problemsvisually.

Finally, let me leave youwith an old bridge poem:

The Bridge Player’s Prayer

Lord, grant me a partnerWho won’t trump my acesand

Deliver me from short suitsOr other sad cases;Grant me finesses that work

 As I’ve planned, and justonce

Today Lord, grant me aGrand slam hand!

flower native to Virginia thatbleeds red when cut. Theflower is thought to be soclosely tied to the land that itis wounded when yankedfrom it. The title is symbolicof the central characters inthis historical novel.

This is an evocative novelof finely drawn characters

“Bloodroot” is based on anactual event in 1936 in a smalltown near Charlottesville, VA.This first novel examineswhat might have led to anunusual act of violence.“Bloodroot” is based on the

shooting of a white sheriff bya black caretaker of a van-ished family’s estate whowas being forced from hishome.

The author tells a storythrough the eyes of ElsaChilds, a young white Countyemployee fresh out ofschool, and those of Wesleythe aging black man who isbeing evicted from the estatewhere he has been a care-taker for many years. He andhis sister are being forced toleave the land to make roomfor a new turpentine plant.

They have legal claim to theproperty bequeathed to themfrom the owner’s widow andthey continually refuse theCounty’s offers to buy theirhold on the land. Throughflashbacks of Wesley’s andCora’s we see decent, law-abiding people.

Wesley takes a standagainst the white man for thehome he and his sister re-side in, he has quietly smol-dered throughout his life un-der repeated humiliations.“All my life,” he tells Elsa, thegovernment worker, who is

trying to convince him to ac-cept the County’s offer,“every time I thought some-thing was mine, a white mancame and took it.”

Wesley is bound to losehis battle with the govern-ment and his steely determi-nation and resolve are com-pelling, but inevitably lead toviolence and tragedy.Wesley and Cora, steadfastin their determination afteryears of living with uncer-tainty and indignity, pay ahigh price for taking a standfor their rights.

Term Limits Termed Limited

 By Bill Kulberg, Associate EditorWe’re all endowed by our Creator with certain inalienable

talents and abilities. When it was my turn, the Creator be-

stowed upon me the ability to nap. My dozing proficiency, atany time of day or place is prodigious. It may not seem likemuch to you, but it is my talent.

Others were more fortunate. My fellow editors on thispaper have been endowed with abilities, in some instancesextraordinary, and subsequently experiences, necessary increating the product delivered to your mailbox each month.It’s been acknowledged that their efforts have paid offhandsomely in quality, if not monetarily. But suppose theywere term limited. Every Newspaper Committee memberwill attest that without this talented group, we’d be just an-other paper. If Managing Editor Mort Perlman’s term was“up”, whom could we find nearly as dedicated and newspa-per smart to replace him? Conversely, Mort won’t be doingmy taxes or curing my ailments, any more than members ofour Board of Trustees will edit this paper.

 And that segues, if clumsily, to further talk of limiting the

terms of our Board members. This would require an almostbottomless supply of residents endowed with capabilitiesand talents bordering on masochistic. You can’t wave awand at some smart individual (and we have lots in Con-cordia) and create a dedicated, productive Board member.The Creator may have endowed them with many excellentqualities, but probably not a lot possess the drive or will toexpend the time and energy necessary in maintaining thequality we’ve taken for granted here.

 At this point there are cynical snorts from the few whobelieve we’ve been shortchanged by our Board. For whatthey’re paid, which approximates what we on this paperget, they’re easily the best buy in Monroe. They may notalways be right, but who is? What they have  been is prolificand seemingly tireless, pursuing what they perceive as ourcommunity’s best interests. That doesn’t make themsmarter than us; it just indicates their Creator has blessed

(or cursed) them with qualities for which we should begrateful.Suppose we limited everyone to – arbitrarily – six years.

How long until the supply of competent candidates driesup? Eventually we’d be reduced to applicants reluctant todo, or incapable of doing, as much as their predecessors.Or there may not be enough to fill the openings. Our lastelection had four open positions. All four incumbents ran.Had their terms expired, we’d have been left with the fourcandidates who ran against them in the election. This is notto say that the four who ran wouldn’t have been adequateto serve on the Board. It’s saying that we’d have had nochoice. Beyond that, had term limits been in effect for sev-eral years, these four may well have run, and even won inprior years. What then? Who’d we have to run? We mighthave had to beg residents who had neither the desire, northe qualities needed.

Term limits are fine if you’re not cutting off your nose tospite your face. Natural term limits are enforced by voting,but that necessitates keeping abreast of what’s going on.Considering the time these trustees put in, and the stakeson the table, that’s not asking a lot.

In a past issue, I offered the possibility of 10 or 12-yearlimits. Upon further reflection, a better idea would be to im-pose a test. Let’s see if incumbents are able to feed them-selves. If they are, let ‘em run again. If not, we get some-one to feed them. And then let ‘em run again.

In several instances thesefrauds can be very convinc-ing…tricking people intosending large amounts ofmoney in order (in somecases) to bail out a lovedone.

Just some golf course in-formation to my fellow resi-dents. In 1993, my husbandand I retired to Concordia.We chose this senior com-munity after learning about

all it had to offer, more par-ticularly for us, the beautifulgolf course sprawling amongthe homes. Little did weknow then that the coursewas not owned by the com-munity, but rather by PeterVitale, who, a year later, de-cided to sell it. Since Concor-dia had 500 plus golfers, aplan was put forward tocharge a bond fee in theamount of $2,000 per golfer,and a Certificate of Participa-tion in the amount of $500per household, to purchasethe golf course. We had avery positive response andthen proceeded to get amortgage. As time went on,each year there were fewerand fewer members due toattrition. We finally decidedto advertise for non-residentmembers to fill the void.

Now we come to presentday. A couple of years ago, aballot was sent out from thecommunity with the idea ofpurchasing the course, andpromising a refund of theCertificates of Participation.The ballot was overwhelm-ingly in favor of a purchase.To date, nothing has been

formalized.If and when this purchase

does not come to fruition,and if the course would gointo bankruptcy and shutdown, this beautiful 140-acregolf course would go into dis-repair. There would be noone to mow the grass, no

one to oversee the wateroperation, which is thesource of the water that irri-gates our lawns and gar-dens, no one to handle thewells and pumps, no one totake care of the rodents andother wildlife, no beautifulfountains in our ponds, etc.

 All these things have beenhandled by the golf course,

headed by our General Man-ager/PGA Pro, Ray Bridy,and his Maintenance Depart-ment. Ray is an exceptionalmanager, has been at Con-cordia for 14 years, and has

worked very hard to bring inoutings to supplement ourincome; he has a personalrelationship with the non-

 By Jack Galin Every organization, club or

activity in Concordia must, bythe nature of the communityin which we live, the age ofits citizens and the demandsof nature, go through con-tinuous evolution andchange. Like all those others,so must WCOC and its par-ticipants.

Evolution can sometimesseem painful but more oftenit can be energetic and excit-ing. Last month this writerwrote of the “Self Starters”who make up much ofWCOC’s staff. Many of thoseindividuals are recent addi-tions to the staff. They bringto this in-house televisionstation new ideas, fresh in-sights and levels of excite-ment that can be contagious.

During this past month sev-eral changes have been insti-tuted. Our weekly staff meet-ings can accompany a “shoot”if not simultaneously, immedi-

 An interesting sidelight ofthe “evolution” is the pres-ence and participation of oneof the “fathers” of WCOC,Henry Lehman. Henry, whorecently celebrated hisninety-ninth birthday, spendsabout half the year at hishome in Florida; the warmweather is good for hisbones. But, even while awayhis mind is always active,always working. Shortly afterhis return to New Jersey hewas at the weekly meetingsand within a couple of weekssuggested several ideas fornew programs, put one to-gether, produced it, shot itand helped to edit it.

 Another thing to thinkabout: over 500 homes fronton the golf course. Justimagine if the fairways werenot mowed, watered or main-tained, what would their“backyards” look like, and whateffect would that have on thevalue of the homes and thebeauty of our community? Justlook at the condition of theempty lots in our neighborhoodto see what would happen ifwe no longer had a well-keptgolf course flowing throughour community.

pared for a few days of notgetting out due to severeweather?

Nasty weather conditionsaren’t pleasant or necessar-ily safe for anyone, but olderadults are especially proneto danger. Taking steps tomake sure you are safethrough the severe weather

could save your life.General Guidelines for Hot

or Cold WeatherStay in touch. Isolation can

be a problem for older adultsthroughout the year, but itcan be life threatening in badweather. Be sure you checkin regularly with someonewhenever the weather turnsbad.

Establish a call schedulewith a family member orfriend so they know to ex-pect you to check in regu-larly.

Be extra cautious when

driving. Be sure your vehicleis in good repair and notlikely to leave you sitting onthe roadside in dangerousweather. Avoid non-essentialdriving when the roads arebad or it is too hot.

Get informed. Listen tolocal news and weatherchannels during extremeweather conditions for healthand safety updates.

Stock up on nonperishablefood items. Choose optionslike peanut butter, almonds,other nuts, cheeses, andboxed milk that provide heatand energy-generating pro-tein.

Keep a flashlight with freshbatteries, candles, a fullycharged cell phone, and aportable radio on hand foremergencies.

Keep the gas tank at leasthalf full.

Keep a few days of extra

medication on hand andspare hearing aid batteries.

In the event you need torelocate due to a power fail-ure, keep the following onhand: a current medicationslist; cell phone; cash or trav-eler’s checks and an emer-gency contacts list.

Warm weather warning:Turn on the air conditioning

or head to the clubhouse.Drink cool, nonalcoholic

beverages and increase your

fluid intake, regardless ofyour activity level.

During heavy exercise in ahot environment, drink two tofour glasses (16-32 ounces)of cool fluids each hour.

People suffer heat-relatedillness when their bodies areunable to compensate andproperly cool themselves.The body normally cools it-self by sweating. But undersome conditions, sweating

 just isn’t enough. In suchcases, a person’s body tem-perature rises rapidly. Veryhigh body temperatures may

damage the brain or othervital organs.

Warning: If your doctorgenerally limits the amount offluid you drink or has you onwater pills, ask how muchyou should drink while theweather is hot.

Protect exposed skin withsunscreen and lip balm, SPF15 or more.

Cold Weather WarningDo not venture outdoors

for any reason when thereis snow or ice on theground, even to retrieve themail. Are the advertise-

ments you receive worth abroken bone?Layering clothing pre-

serves body heat. Long un-derwear, a fleece or woolsweater, a wind/water proof

 jacket are good options. A hat, scarf and mittens or

gloves are essential acces-sories that help prevent heatloss.

Please use caution duringsevere weather.

THE LIGHTER SIDE

 By Bill Kulberg, Associate Editor

 You Want Fries with That?Please read the Triv ia

quest ion elsewh ere in this

issue before reading be- 

low. The Triv ia answer is at

the end o f the art ic le.

We’ve all heard jokes inwhich the punch line is thisarticle’s title. The most popu-

lar versions involve collegegraduates with Liberal ArtsDegrees winding up behindthe counters of fast food out-lets. They’re a bit harsh. Anexperience I had some yearsback would never have hap-pened had the person behindthe counter been a graduateof college. Or even highschool, I suspect. This is atrue story.

It was mid morning and Ihad an hour to kill. So I tookmy book to a fast food spotfor some coffee and a placeto read. Breakfast was still

being served and as Iwaited on line, my mouthbegan watering for one ofthose breakfast sandwichesthat always looks better inthe picture behind thecounter than when you un-wrap it. My turn came and Iasked for a sandwich and acup of coffee – senior dis-count on the coffee, ofcourse. The pleasant younglady asked if I wanted twosandwiches for $2.00.

It didn’t take long to realizeshe was offering me a $4.58value for two bucks. Some-thing was clearly wrong. Iasked what the catch wasand she told me there wasn’tany; they were having a spe-cial. But there was  a catch; Ihad to buy two. Having al-ready eaten a semi-healthybreakfast, I pictured my dia-betes, which would love one  sandwich, really flipping outover two. I did some on-the-spot calculations and it was-n’t long until I realized shecould sell me just one andcharge me two bucks – halfof 4.58 comes to around2.29. A 29 cent saving maynot seem like much, but do it

ten times and you’ve gotenough for another sandwichat full price.

 Alas, the deal was for two.If I wanted one it was fullprice. No deviations. Not be-ing a deviate, and failing tofully understand the younglady’s comprehension, orlack thereof, I attempted tonegotiate. Sell me two fortwo dollars and take back theextra one unopened. Didn’tneed no stinking calculator tofigure that one out. It was farmore reasonable than twocosting less than one. Except

to her. Reason apparentlyhad nothing to do with herinstructions. Once a sand-wich is sold, they can’t take itback. Something abouthealth rules. I’d have to buytwo and what I did with a per-fectly good sandwich wasn’ther concern.

By this time, it occurred tome I was holding up the pro-ceedings. Glancing behindme I spied a young man wait-ing patiently. I asked if hewas interested in a bacon,egg and cheese sandwich for

a buck. It was obvious he’dbeen paying attention to thenegotiations, because he

 jumped at it in a heartbeat.Evidently I was dealing witha college graduate. So Iturned and told the younglady I’d take the two. I couldsee the pressure drain from

her eyes almost immedi-ately.

Upon receipt of the order, Ipaid and handed one sand-wich to the salivating collegegraduate, who had the dollarbill ready. When I turnedback, the young lady’s faceindicated she may not yethave comprehended whathad gone down. I thoughtto try explaining, but if shedidn’t get it in the firstplace, what could I saythat’d simplify matters?This was a complicatedtransaction for which she’d

obviously not been trained. And why press my luck withthe folks in line who mightturn into a mob if I per-sisted?

While she recovered hercomposure almost immedi-ately, I could tell she was stillshaken over the experiencebecause, to my chagrin, she

never asked: “You want frieswith that?”

TRIVIA ANSWER – JohnHanson was the first Presi-dent of the United States inCongress Assembled, serv-ing from November 1781 toNovember 1782. This pre-ceded George Washingtonbecoming the first presi-dent. Poor old John neverreally got the credit he de-served.

The article from which Itook this information saysthat the Articles “represent

the United States of Americain its nascent form.” Andhere I thought they repre-sented the United States inits beginnings. Go figure.

Over the years, the Libraryhas evolved with the times,offering classes and servicesthat reflect the vitality of thedigital age. With lending ser-vices for books, periodicals,music and so much more,www.monroetwplibrary.orghas become its own hub.Through the Library’s site resi-dents can also access many

databases enabling them toresearch a variety of subjects,build a resume, learn a lan-guage and so much more.

The Library has alsostepped into the future with itsinteractive Studio M, a digitalmedia room, located near theChildren’s Department. Ahighlight of the room is the 3-Dprinter, which uses plastic fila-ment and a heating element tocreate hard plastic objectsfrom designs created on acomputer. The room also pro-vides residents with a greenscreen for video and photog-

raphy fun, along with accessto audio video and photo edit-ing software.

Furthermore, a large compo-nent of the Library is its out-reach programs, including theBookmobile, which visitsnearly all Active Adult Commu-nities, after-school programs,the Community Center andother locations throughouttown. At the bookmobile, resi-dents can do many of thesame functions as if they wereat the Library, including bor-rowing books and DVDs, sign-ing up for a library card, return-

ing books, and more.In addition, the Bookmobile

facilitates the Library’s home-bound services. Through thehomebound program, resi-dents who are unable to visitthe Library due to long-termillness, surgery or no longerable to drive can get librarymaterials delivered to theirhomes. Then the volunteersand staff will pick up theitems so they are returned ina timely manner. Library staffdetermines the eligibility forthis program.

The Library also provides

the Books by Mail programwhere residents can reservebooks by calling the library orthrough the library’s website.

The true highlight of the Li-brary is its professional staff.Our award-winning staff is al-ways hard at work to meet theneeds of the many residentsthat visit the facility. LibraryDirector Irene Goldberg andher staff should be com-mended for their continuedservice to the people of Mon-roe Township.

 Mayor  Township of Monroe

The Monroe TownshipPublic Library had a busysummer, hosting manyevents including a petting

zoo, the ongoing interna-tional film festival, summerreading club and so muchmore.

One of the amazing thingsabout the Library is that re-gardless of the season, thebuilding is always a hub ofactivity, information and in-spiration.

On any given day, the Li-brary sees an average of1,200 residents come throughthe doors of the lending facilityto borrow a book or movie, dosome research, take a class,or just relax with a good book

by the fireplace.The Library has come along way in its 25 years, withits humble beginnings as acard table in the MunicipalBuilding, to a free-standingfacility that opened in 1997and the recent expansion fiveyears ago that provided theroom that is necessary forwhat the Library has becomein Monroe.

With constantly rotating dis-plays in both the cases in themain lobby to the circular artgallery in the rear of the build-ing, the Library shares both

artistic and historic sites withits patrons. Its partnership withthe Cultural Arts Commissionhas brought free musical per-formances and lectures to ca-pacity crowds.

Juvenile Justice To Be Topic of

September LWV Meeting

 By Ruth BanksThe League of Women

Voters of Monroe Townshipwill hold its regular monthlymeeting Monday, September22 at 1 p.m. in the TownshipMunicipal Building. Theguest speaker, Rutgers Pro-fessor Sandra Simkins, hasbeen engaged in research

on Juvenile Justice, and will

be discussing some of herfindings regarding the statusof some of the complex is-sues of juvenile justice inNew Jersey as well as on thenational level.

We may well ask “whencecomes the term “JuvenileJustice,” since for manyyears this concept was un-

known in the criminal justicesystem which existed dec-ades ago. The history of thetreatment of children in trou-ble has gone from a positionof indifference and neglect tothe creation of a special ageof childhood with care, treat-ment and prevention as ahallmark. Early in our coun-try’s history, children weretossed into jails along withadults with no concern fortheir welfare. Females wereshunted in with males of allages and backgrounds, andsince staff and guards at jails

and prisons were alwaysmale, they were subjected toconsiderable abuse.

Before the 19th Century theprevailing philosophy was

 just to punish children fortheir “bad” behavior just asadults were punished. But bythe 20th  Century, laws andprocedures evolved applyingto people under the age of18. This transition was ac-companied by, or perhapsspurred on by, the develop-ment of a society more at-tuned to the needs of chil-

The Mahoney Brothers doing an entertaining rendition of the BeachBoys and Jimmy Buffett at a recent Auditorium Show, had a selloutcrowd jumpin’ in the aisles and stompin’ with their feet all night long.Here are a few scenes (5-7) from their successful performance.

Memories are made of this! Fran Koppleman (R), Beverly Dropkin andCharlie Koppleman, the latter two alumni of Lafayette High School,Brooklyn, recently attended a multi-class reunion. While in the oldneighborhood, Charlie took the ladies to see his late father’s “Louis’sVariety and Hardware Store” —now dubbed “Concordia” and snappedthis photo. The shop still carries housewares and hardware.

Astronomy/

 By Mildred Goodwin The Astronomy/Science

Club is proud to announcethat on September 18 at7:30 p.m. in the Regency

Room, Dr. Terry Matilsky willmake a return visit to ourclub. His topic will be a con-tinuation of his former lec-ture, “Understanding Gravity,Near and Far.” Our membersand friends of the AstronomyClub were quite impressedwhen Dr. Matilsky previouslydiscussed this topic with usand we are pleased that he

accepted our invitation to join us again.

Did you know: Astronomi-cal science originated in amuch earlier period of hu-man history than the othernatural sciences. In the re-mote past, when practicalknowledge in daily life andwork had not yet led to asystematic study of physicsand chemistry, astronomywas already a highly devel-oped science. Astronomy

manifested itself in the an-cient world as a system oftheoretical knowledge thatenabled man to prophesyeven the terrifying eclipsesand had become a factor inhis spiritual needs.

The concepts of astron-omy were studied by Babylo-nian priests and magicians,Greek philosophers, Muslimprinces, medieval monks,renaissance nobles and cler-ics. The history of astronomyis, indeed, the growth ofman’s concept of his world.

We look forward to greet-

ing you at this interestingsession. Please remain forinteresting conversation withother members, as well ourfamous cookies with coffeeor tea.

They are also affiliatedwith the Joslin Clinic for thetreatment of diabetes andRutgers for lung cancerscreening. And remember,no one gets a bill for treat-ment at this institution. Yourdollars raised supports thecare for all patients regard-less of their financial status.

Now that construction iscompleted, we will be schedul-

ing tours for people to seehow the facility has grown anddeveloped. Please let meknow if you are interested invisiting the complex. You willbe truly amazed in what theprogram has to offer.

of Jewish Women

 By Adrienne Fein Change starts with a single

action and NCJW has beenin the limelight for many gen-erations of volunteer advo-cates advancing social jus-tice for all. One of the organi-zation’s many projects is toassist silent victims of do-mestic violence. Being raisedin a violent home can affectevery aspect of a child’s life,growth and development.

Similarly, growing up inpoverty impairs a child’semotional, intellectual andphysical development.Higher Ground, the NCJWDomestic Violence Cam-paign, promotes public poli-cies that ensure all womenhave financial resources theyneed to leave a violent home.In doing so, NCJW helps vic-tims of violence escape theirabusers and give their chil-dren the opportunity to growup in healthy environments.

The Players Rise

Again

 By Jack Galin In Greek mythology, a Phoe-

nixIs a bird that is cyclically re-

born;Obtains new life by arising

fromThe ashes of its predeces-

sor.From “Winkipedia”

In Concordia, in the year2014, our real life Phoenix is

the Concordia Players; newlyarisen from the ashes of adisastrous 2013. Through nofault of the Players them-selves, but brought about bythe unanticipated retirementof their longtime director,they attempted to move in anew and different direction.They tried; it didn’t fly. Pre-cious time was lost and thenthe year was lost.

But Concordians, by na-ture, are stubborn and do not

take disappointment lyingdown. The officers of thePlayers, headed by Presi-dent Emely Cook, contactedretired Director Tony Adaseand convinced him to “un-retire.” And here we are now,in September, deep into re-hearsals for what promisesto be an outstanding produc-tion of “Pajama Game,” thewildly successful Broadwayshow by Adler and Ross.

Besides the intriguing storyline, i.e. Workers at theSleep Tite Pajama Factorydemanding a raise of seven

and a half cents and theirdemands falling on deafears; plus the romance de-veloping between the unionrepresentative and the fac-tory superintendent.

What is particularly excit-ing about the show is themusic; the songs, several ofwhich have become iconic.You remember “Racing WithThe Clock;” “Steam Heat;”“Hernado’s Hideaway;”“Seven and a Half Cents;”“There Was a Man;” “HeyThere” and, of course the“Pajama Game.”

Last month’s article in theConcordian outlined some ofthe Concordians who will befeatured in the production;some longtime featured play-ers plus some new faces. Inaddition the Women’s En-semble; The Women’s andMen’s Chorus will bringmany of our neighbors ontothe stage.

So you can see, The Play-ers are truly a Phoenix; comealive from the ashes of itspredecessor, alive and well.By this time next month(October) dress rehearsalswill be completed and theshow will be ready for its au-diences come October 17,18 and 19. Make sure tomark jour calendars.

2. Bunkers have the un-nerving habit of rushing outto meet your ball.

3. The faults in your swingcan never be cured in justone lesson from a profes-sional.

4. Curly, downhill, left-to-right putts are usually fol-lowed by curly, uphill, right-to-left putts.

5. Delicate chip shots overbunkers always catch the topof the bank and fall back.

6. During the first roundwith a brand new set ofclubs, the ball has to beplayed from a gravelly spot.

7. Golf is the only game inwhich you fail to win 99 percent of the time.

8. Handicaps are designedto keep you in your place.

9. If a golfer wishes to giveyou a blow-by-blow accountof his round, ask him to startwith his final putt on the 18thgreen.

10. If a good course is onewhere you play to yourhandicap or better and a badcourse is one where youstruggle to break 100, whyare there so many badcourses?

11. If there is one solitarytree located on a hole, your

ball will find it with unerringaccuracy.

12. If you are givingstrokes in a match it’s alwaystoo many: if you are receivingthem it’s never enough.

13. If you are playing wellin a competition, your partnerwill tell you that if you keep itup you must win. This remarkensures that you finish with a

string of double-bogeys.14. If you find your ball in thewoods, it is unplayable. If aprofessional finds his ball inwoods, not only is it playablebut he can hit it onto the green.

15. If you have difficultymeeting new people, try pick-ing up someone else’s golfball.

16. If you’re out in 39 andhome in 45 you’re playingWWII golf.

17. Immediately after youput on your rain suit it stopsraining.

18. In a two-man competi-tion, your partner is right onhis game while you aren’t orvice versa.

19. It’s always the nextround that will find you play-ing your normal game.

20. Keeping your headdown means you’ll be lookingat a very large divot.

Straightest Drive on Hole18- Emily Cartolano.

For the umpteenth time noone won a car with a hole-in-one on hole 7 (or any otherhole for that matter), butevery time we fail the oddsfor success get better.

The outstandingplayer for the Concordiateam was Jack Wanger witha net 64. This event is sopopular that we had to createa “wait list” for those whosigned up too late to be onour team this year.

ticed my perplexed expres-sion and stopped. “Don’t youlive at Concordia?” sheasked. I nodded. “It’s reallyeasy to get back,” she be-gan. My pencil was poisedonce again and I wrotequickly as she explained inthree simple sentences whatI must do to get home.

 Although I st ill don’t know

north from south once I’vemade a turn, I can find eve-rything I need without diffi-culty these days. The roadshave lost some of theirmystery and have becomeold friends. My trusty GPSis always on duty, happy toguide me should I stray offcourse.

 Although I can now takepictures and videos with myphone, and store my infor-mation on a Cloud, the GPSand Spell-Check still remainmy most valued technology.

 By Yvette Lederman You have to like the way

you are, warts and all. Soyou have no sense of direc-tion, and you can’t spell.None of us are perfect!You’ve come this far withthose disabilities - right? Yes,I loved Concordia where “theliving was easy,” even if find-ing places was not. I was

new and asked three differ-ent people how they got toRte. 130. Each of them of-fered a different direction.What seemed very importantto them was getting there inthe least possible time. Me, Ihad nothing but time! I didn’tneed to get there as the crowflies, I just needed to getthere. Naturally, the first fewtimes I ended up in corn fieldcountry. Farmer Brown, whofortunately for me was get-ting his mail from the box onthe road’s edge, took his timeexplaining how I might getback to civilization. Proudly, Ieventually became a Route130 aficionado.

I was ready for a newchallenge, which was get-ting to the Prestige Diner(the name exaggerates itsambiance). This was a newtest of my “Travelocity.” Go-ing by way of Rte. 130 wasalmost equivalent to drivingto Brooklyn. After enjoyingmy dinner, I became anx-ious about finding my wayback home. I noticed somefamiliar faces and ad-dressed my inquiry to agroup of Concordians who

were seated at a table to-gether. When they askedme how I got to the diner, Iexplained that I took 130 to33. They laughed hysteri-cally, which could havebeen humiliating if it werenot for my high degree ofself-acceptance.

“You’re only ten minutes

away!” said one man laugh-ing and snorting at the sametime donkey fashion. I waiteduntil they were calm againand had fully enjoyed theirsuperior grasp of the localterrain. Finally they wereready to share their direc-tional secrets with me. I heldmy breath, pencil suspendedover paper, ready to receive

that liberating transportationinformation. Instead theysuddenly could not agree.They argued while mention-ing Perrineville, Applegarth,33, and the Lobster Shanty.“She’ll never find it that way,”one woman almost shoutedat her husband. I slippedaway unnoticed.

I stood beside my car inthe parking lot hoping for amiraculous directional epiph-any. A car pulled into thespace next to me, and a cou-ple got out. The woman no-

Paulette WeghAlexander Hamilton Ct.I was born in Antwerp, Belgium. I

was in kindergarten when Germanyattacked Belgium. We fled with thefamily to the south of France. Need-less to say that my education wasbeing interrupted because I had to gointo hiding. In 1945 we came back to

 Antwerp which was destroyed fromthe bombs. I went back to school andgraduated from high school withgreat distinction. In 1949 my teacherhanded me my diploma took me onthe side and said: Paulette you are agood student, try to continue youreducation. Well! In post war Belgium

it was impossible to do. But I willnever forget her.

Awareness

 By Sylvia Sissman  As I approached another

decade in my life — I be-came startling aware of mypresence here on Earth.

Thoughts filtered throughmy consciousness — howblessed I am to live, love,and be loved, productiveand contented with a lifewell-lived.

I am acutely more awareof nature and the beauty,which surrounds and envel-ops me. Meeting peopleand connecting with differ-ent shades of personalities,and marveling with wonderand appreciation about mycompatriots’ accomplish-ments, bravery, and stead-

fastness. The demonstrablebenefits of a loving, socialenvironment and intimacywith peers, younger genera-tions, et al, impinge for ahealthier lifestyle andlonger life expectancy thansome of the heart drugscurrently being tested.

So, hail to my friends,neighbors and family. Maywe sail many decades oflife together, sharing seren-ity and contentment, rejoic-ing in who we are and haveachieved.

Last summer, Dorothy andher daughter attended a

week long program at Chau-t a u q u a I n s t i t u t ewww.CIWEB.org in Chautau-qua, NY. The institute is de-scribed on its website as pro-viding week-long programsthat explore “the best in hu-man values and the enrich-ment of life through programsthat explore the importantreligious, social and politicalissues of our times; stimu-lates provocative, thoughtfulinvolvement of individualsand families in creative re-sponse to such issues; andpromotes excellence and

creativity in the appreciation,performance and teaching ofthe arts.”

The program Dorothy andher daughter chose was“Crime and Punishment.”There she heard from themother of a woman who wassentenced to 30 years forconspiring to kill her abusivehusband. She also met theauthor of the book “The

She thoughtabout volunteering at thetraining school and asked alibrarian at our local publiclibrary only to learn that thelibrarian she asked wasmarried to someone who

worked at the facility. Thelibrarian cautioned Dorothythat despite its name it is aprison and told Dorothy therewas a girl’s school in Borden-town.

Dorothy was undeterredand visited the local trainingschool and applied for a vol-unteer position.

She was fingerprinted inOctober 2013 and asked ifshe would like to fill a va-cancy as librarian. She wasdelighted to accept and hasbeen doing so once a weeksince. Dorothy’s face lights

When the time came toretire, Concordia appealed toher and she moved here fiveyears ago.

One day she was in theConcordia pool speaking toanother resident. She men-tioned that she grew up in

Afternumerous questions wentback and forth between thetwo women the passingswimmer turned out to bethe Alice of her childhood.What are the odds of thishappening?

years.”The players wear vintageuniforms, use vintage equip-ment and speak in old-timelingo to give the look, sightand feel of a 19th Centurygame.

“You see some interestingthings at the game,” Mr.Katerba said. “The fieldersdon’t use gloves; batters canrequest where pitches arethrown; the umpire warns thebatter before calling strikes,and so much more.”

Spectators are encouragedto ask the players questionsduring the game, and theplayers are always more thanwilling to keep the crowdabreast of the various rulechanges.

“The interaction is alwaystremendous,” Mr. Katerbasaid. “We are lucky to usuallyhave a rousing rendition of‘Casey at the Bat’ and ‘TakeMe Out to the Ballgame’ per-formed during the intermis-sion. So pack a picnic bas-ket; bring a lawn chair, blan-ket, or, sit on a hay bale, re-l a x a n d e n j o y t wo‘splendiferous’ matches ofvintage base ball.”

Civil War Living HistoryDay

If you want to see how CivilWar-era soldiers and civilianslived, worked, dressed andplayed, then visit the DeyFarm from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m.on Saturday, Oct. 25th.

The all-day event will in-clude an encampment of in-fantry, artillery, and civilianactivities, accompanied by anumber of Civil War era rel-ics.

“This is always a popular

(Continued from page 24) event at the Dey Farm,” Mr.

Katerba said. “You can wan-der through camps and talkto the troops about life onthe battlefield, watch an artil-lery demonstration, andlearn about other era-appropriate civilian activi-ties.”

 A highlight of the event isthe firing of the historic 1844cannon by the Battery “A”First New Jersey VolunteersSecond New Jersey Brigade.

“They demonstrate thefiring, and explain each ofthe steps and importance ofthe safety in the process,”Mr. Katerba said.

Both events are sponsoredby the Monroe TownshipHistoric Preservation Com-mission, and are free for all.Parking available on FederalRoad.
