Already $3,000 deep
in fundraising to
donate a well to
people in South Sudan, stu-dents and the school com-
munity at Mendham
Township Middle School
are digging even deeper
into their hearts and pock-ets to raise the remaining
$12,000.
Their efforts have been
inspired by their summer
initiative to read “A LongWalk to Water,” by Linda
Sue Parks. As part of the
district’s One Book, One
Students In Mendham Township Draw Money For A Well In South Sudan
With Thanksgiving
and the holidayseason right
around the corner, families
are looking to prepare for
the holidays in many ways
possible whether it involves
holiday shopping, preparing
festive meals, or makingtravel arrangements to visit
family in state or across the
country.
Although those are
many things people look
forward to at this time, an-
other thing people shouldthink about this holiday sea-
son involves giving back to
the community, especially
those in need of food, cloth-
ing, toys, etc. To do so, the
publishers of New View
Media Group, the companyresponsible for the Mend-
ham News as well as 17
other publications will be
holding a holiday toy and

School program, 400 stu-
dents in grades fifth
through eighth, along with
about 50 teachers and staff,
read the incredible true
story about a "lost boy,"Salva Dut and his need for
safe water in South Sudan.
Touched by the story,
the MTMS community has
pledged to raise enoughmoney to donate a well in
South Sudan through Salva
Dut’s organization, Water
for Sudan. Spearheaded by
the Student Council,
MTMS will focus on ayearlong fundraising cam-
paign in the hopes of rais-
ing $15,000. A portion of
the proceeds from all Stu-
dent Council activities will
go towards this fundraising
goal.
MTMS asks the commu-
nity to help if it can. To do-
nate visit:https://water-

mtms-water-for-south-
sudan-fundraiser.
The money will be used
to facilitate the drilling of awell in South Sudan in an
effort to provide safe water
particularity to needy chil-
dren who live there.
“We have learned that
clean safe water is a basicneed and human right that
not everyone in the word is
afforded,” as it states on the
school website. “It is our
goal to come together as a
school to help raise aware-
ness and funds to support
the amazing work Salva
Dut's organization Water
for Sudan does in South
Sudan and the hope hebrings to thousands of peo-
ple with the simple gift of
water.”
This is the third year
Mendham Township hasparticipated in the One
Book, One School initia-
tive. The book, “A Long
Walk to Water,” had been
suggested to the school’s
media specialist by somesixth grade boys who “rec-
ommended that book was a
good one to read,” explains
MTMS Media Specialist
Melanie Smith. “It’s a
pretty popular book.”
Smith says, “It’s a pow-erful story of what’s goingon in another part of the
world that people don’t re-
alize.”

After reading the book this summer, stu-dents were asked to write about the story
in their language arts classes and talk about
the topic in social studies.In their Literary Investigations elective,
sixth graders have been designing mapsthat focus on the setting of “A Long Walk
to Water” and show the incredible journey
Salva made from southwest Sudan to
Ethiopia and later through the Southern
Sudan desert to a refugee camp in Kenya,
says Smith.On Nov. 16, sixth graders were to gather
in the school library to watch a live conver-
sation with author Linda Sue Parks and
Salva Dut, an effort hosted by the MonroeCommunity College in Rochester NY andstreamed to schools across the country and
around the world.
“Students made a real connection to
what they read,” Smith explains, and de-
cided to take a proactive approach and try
to help these real people who are in needof safe water. “There’s a direct connection
to the book. The fact they could then do
something to help was important to them.”MTMS Principal Dr. Patrick Ciccone
explains “We are a small environment in a
bubble so to speak.” There are some groupsin the school that participate in global
awareness through different activities likehelping to preserve trails or volunteering at
the nearby Holly Manor retirement home.
Students decided to take their efforts be-
yond the classroom, and through Student
Council raise money to buy a new well.
“This is a major project for them,” saysSmith, who also serves as student council
advisor along with Christine Yawgera, sev-
enth and eighth grade language arts
teacher.So far money has been raised from the
fifth grade and sixth grade dance,
student/faculty volleyball game, bake sale
and any donations on line. A talent show
set for Fri., Nov. 20, for students and their
families was also expecting to raise even
more money for the well project.Other upcoming student council events

or the sixth year, Dr. M. Corey Johnson and Dr.
Karen Fenichel of Jockey Hollow Dentistry LLC
will buy local kids’ Halloween treats and send thecandy to American servicemen and servicewomen over-seas.
The doctors will work with Operation Jersey Cares to
assure that the candy gets to the right hands. Johnson and
Fenichel are general dentists whose practice, Jockey Hol-
low Dentistry LLC, serves the Mendham area.
“We’re looking forward to collecting a lot of candy tosend overseas,” said Fenichel. In the past five years, Jockey
Hollow Dentistry has collected about 2,250 pounds of
candy.
Each trick-or-treater can bring their candy to Jockey
Hollow Dentistry, 5 Cold Hill Road South, Suite 8. Thedental office will buy up to eight pounds of candy for a $1
a pound. Children must be 16 years old or younger and
must be accompanied by an adult. Adults may donate extra
candy, small toys, other items or notes.
“Halloween means lots of candy all at once,” saidFenichel. “Children don’t need to eat all the sweets they
bring home. Not eating all that candy will prevent a lot of
cavities, and sending it to our heroes overseas will give our
troops something to enjoy.”
This year,Jockey HollowDentistry is working with Op-
eration JerseyCares, a group made up of veterans andsup-
porters. The group sends packages to men and womenserving overseas and continues to support them when theyreturn home to New Jersey.
Fenichel said she became involved with the candy buy-
back program five years ago because many of the families
at Jockey Hollow Dentistry had members serving in the
military.
“Jockey Hollow Dentistry is a family-oriented practice,so we develop close relationships with our patients,” she
said. “Some of them have children in the service. I know
several young men and women who are serving their coun-
try and I think of them as we’re doing this. Sending a little
taste of this fun-oriented holiday is a small thank-you ges-ture to them.”
This is the second year the program has worked with
Operation Jersey Cares. Working with the local organiza-
tion greatly reduces the cost of participating in the candy
buy-back.Fenichel said the candy she collects will serve two other
purposes.
“I’m told the troops love getting the candy,” she said.

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.
AccommodationsIt’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 their
guests. 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 mustavoid 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.
PetsWhen hosting for the holidays, let your guests know if you
have 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.

Make sure gifts arrive on time
When buying gifts online or mailing
them to faraway loved ones, consumer
must leave ample time for shipping.
Come the holiday season, ship-ping companies work aroundthe clock to ensure packages,
merchandise and more make it to theirdestinations on time. What would De-cember holidays be without gifts
under the tree?In 2013, overtaxed carriers failed to meet Christmas deadlines
for many packages. Some analysts say big retailers and carriersmay have underestimated consumers’ growing reliance on onlineshopping — especially for last-minute presents. Since thosemishaps, both UPS and FedEx have spent millions on upgrades.More fuel-efficient planes, upgrades to air cargo networks and im-proved infrastructure and ground shipping operations have helpedshipping companies better handle the increased volume.
As shipping companies work harder to ensure holiday packagesarrive at their destinations on time, there also are things consumerscan do to increase the chances that gifts make it under the tree be-fore the big day.
• Shop as early as possible. If you plan to buy online or ship
gifts to family and friends, shop early so the gifts have time tomake it to their destinations. Make a list of all the people whosegifts you will need to mail, then shop for their gifts first so you willhave ample time for them to arrive on time.
Double-check all mailing addresses. Make sure you have thecorrect addresses for all friends or family members you will besending gifts to. An incorrect address can result in packages beingreturned to sender or floating around in shipping limbo. All of thisonly decreases the likelihood that gifts will arrive on time.
Consider a ship-to-store option. A number of big retailers nowoffer various options that allow customers to purchase items online
and pick them up in a nearby store. In-stock items may be availablethe same day, while others may have to be shipped to the store for alater pickup.
Enter shipping parameters. Signing up for either My FedEx orMyUPS gives you a little extra control over how packages are sentto you. For example, you can request that packages be held at a de-livery center or you can presign for deliveries. These perks can helplimit some lost or delayed packages.
Use proper postage. Bulky envelopes or large packages are bet-ter off brought to the post office for shipping instead of mailingthem from home. Inadequate postage could stall delivery of youritems and have them returned to you.
Research shipping cut-off dates. Shipping carriers often list the
“last days to ship” for their services so that packages will arrive bythe date you need them. This way you can plan around the cutoffs.
Sign up for membership programs. Online retailers, such asAmazon, offer expedited shipping on many products as part of theirmembership programs. For example, Amazon Prime-eligible prod-ucts will generally arrive within two business days as part of yourannual membership fee. The added cost may be well worth thepeace of mind fast shipping provides.
An increase in online shopping as well as families living furtherapart has led to a high volume of gifts being shipped around theholidays. Plan accordingly so that gifts will arrive on time.
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. Sincethen, Christmas trees have grown in popu-larity through the centuries.

“Packages like these are great reminders
from home that we’re thinking of them andthat we appreciate everything they’re doing.
I also understand that the troops enjoy some
of the candy, but they also give a lot of it to
the children in the villages where winninghearts is as important as winning militaryvictories.”
Johnson says he’s not worried about
contributing to dental problems in combat
zones.
“A lot of people ask us about that,” he
said. “Service members are older and theirteeth are better developed, so they’re not as
susceptible to cavities as young children
are. In addition, they understand the need
to rinse, brush and floss after eating thesweets.”
Children can bring their candy to Jockey
Hollow Dentistry through Nov. 20. The
Jockey Hollow team will box up the candyand other items and Operation Jersey Careswill pick it up. They then repackage the
candy into individual care packages.

Like the rainbow in the sky that morning, hundredsof runners and walkers throughout the statestretched across Central Park of Morris County in
Morris Plains to raise awareness and funds to support re-search of a rare disease.
On Sat., Oct. 31, families and supporters of those af-fected by Creutzfeldt - Jakob disease (CJD) participatedin The First Annual Strides for CJD 5k Run/Walk. Spon-sored by the CJD Foundation in NY, the event allowedfamilies and friends to pay tribute to their loved ones andraise awareness of CJD, a rare neurodegenerative diseasethat has no treatment or cure.
For the one person in every million worldwide that hasbeen affected by CJD, strides have been made as effectiveoutreach whether through support groups, helpline, refer-rals, caregiving information, family workshops and med-
ical education to those touched by CJD. The walk allowedvictims’ loved ones to gather and show their strengththrough solidarity.
"The outpouring of emotion was overwhelming at theStrides for CJD event," said Sandy Ghezzi of MorrisTownship and CJD Advocate and volunteer. "Familiescame from near and far with children, aunts, uncles,friends and even the family pets to celebrate the lives of their loved ones and show their support toward finding acure for CJD."
The vibrant rainbow that shined above participantsmagnified the event’s purpose.
“There was a rainbow at the event! And it didn't even
rain that day, so it was unexpected ,” says Ghezzi. “One of the attendees I spoke to at the family photo display/mes-sage board area was a man from Morris Plains. Peter losthis beloved wife to CJD in the past six months. He pointedout the rainbow to me and said those we lost were with usthat day; the rainbow was proof they were looking downon us, smiling.”
In its debut walk by the CJD Foundation, Strides forCJD events were also held in 10 cities throughout theUnited States such as Atlanta; Chicago; Cleveland; Col-orado; Maryland; Minneapolis; Arizona and Southern Cal-ifornia. With less government funding to support researchfor rare diseases and the market condition, a greater efforthas been executed to promote awareness and additionalfunding for research into CJD. Organizers hope to con-tinue the walk annually.
"We were thrilled to see such a large turnout for thefirst ever Strides for CJD event in New Jersey," saidGhezzi. "What warmed my heart was to see the familiesand friends who attended so eager to talk with each otherand donate to the cause. This is a strong community thathas bonded around CJD and is committed to supportingeach other and finding a cure."
According to a press release from the CJD Foundation,CJD is caused by “prions,” proteins that can misfold in the
brain, with devastating effects, including rapid mental andphysical deterioration. CJD is the most common of the“prion diseases.
“Families affected by prion diseases like CJD cansometimes feel that they’re the only one,” said DebbieYobs, CJD Foundation President. “This event allows them
to connect with one another, and raise awareness in theircommunities about the devastating impact of CJD and theneed for support, education, and research.”
Proceeds will support the CJD Foundation’s GeneralFund, which supports advocacy, medical education, familysupport and research programs.
“CJD advances at a brutally rapid pace,” Yobs said.“Often the patient has appeared perfectly healthy justweeks or months before the diagnosis. But CJD pro-gresses so aggressively that the family scrambles to get adiagnosis, while the disease rushes ahead. That’s why it’sso important for us to educate medical professionals aboutthe disease and to raise awareness, provide family support,and spur research.”
Ghezzi, who lost her father in 1998 to CJD, says“There’s no treatment; there’s no cure. When you get a di-agnosis it’s 100 percent fatal. There’s nothing they can
give you; there’s nothing they can take.”Ghezzi’s father Ed Mjos of Minneapolis, MN, died onAug. 25, 1998 at the age of 73, only four weeks after beingdiagnosed with sporadic CJD.
“He started developing symptoms,” four months prior,explains Ghezzi. His walking was not steady, his legswould shake and he “ended up going blind in the end.”Because CJD is in the brain, body functions get affected.Her father died of malnutrition as he was unable to swal-low.
“It happened quickly,” says Ghezzi. It was a “rapid de-terioration of bodily functions. It was frightening for us.He was very active; he was a speed walker” as a member
of the Twin City race Walkers Club where he lived. Bridgeplayer, joke teller, active Lions Club member, “all aroundgood guy,” and “all of a sudden his eyes got big,” he waslosing balance, starting using a cane, “then he startedwalking into walls,” using a walker then a wheelchair.Rapid dementia as well as short term memory set in.
Ghezzi recalls making appointments with doctors, butthey would say “he was older; he’s getting dementia” orAlzheimer’s. Ghezzi did not give up and instead broughthim to the Mayo Clinic in Minnesota.
“They did 63 tests in one day,” recalls Ghezzi. At thattime the Mayo Clinic doctors had seen only 25 previouscases. It was only until they received her father’s brain tis-sue from his autopsy that doctors were able to diagnosewith “absolute certainty” that Mjos had sporadic CJD.
“Diagnosis of CJD starts with clinical observation andprocess of elimination of other diseases,” according to in-formation provided by the CJD Foundation. “First, morelikely and treatable diseases are ruled out. When CJD issuspected, the next step is for a qualified professional ex-perienced with CJD to read an MRI and check cerebralspinal fluid for protein indicators, to confirm the prelimi-nary diagnosis. Post mortem, a brain autopsy is the onlyway to positively confirm the CJD diagnosis.”
Ghezzi says, “It’s frightening; it’s hard to know where
to go” when a loved one becomes suddenly affected.“There are resources out there. If there’s something thatdoesn’t seem right, seek medical professionals; try a dif-ferent source.”
To help provide support to other families affected byCJD and spread information and awareness, Ghezzi has
More Strides Made To Raise Awareness And Funds For Rare Disease
become a patient advocate.Actively volunteering 17 years after her father’s death,
Ghezzi says she began going to the annual conferences in2008, when she first learned about them.
“I was humbled at the beginning by the lack of progress in finding a cure,” explains Ghezzi. “It seemedtotally hopeless at the time to me. But as the years went
by, at the annual conferences, through the presentationsby scientists from around the world, there was a glimmerof light, more and more understanding about the d isease.There was finally hope. Each year there was new infor-mation, progress. I am cautiously hopeful that one day wewill crack the code. And I feel inspired to help in any wayI can, as part of the CJD team. Because no one deservesto be told they have a fatal disease and there is no treat-ment whatsoever, and nothing that can be done. There isa solution, and we will be relentless -- together we willfind it.”
As far as progress, there is still no cure or treatment,but research is underway worldwide to learn more aboutthe disease mechanisms and to evaluate potential diagnos-tics and treatments. Research developments have beenmade on a number of fronts. The CJD Foundation spon-sors a research program that attracts researchers world-wide.
The CJD Foundation, which was established in Miamiin 1993, provides support for families affected by priondisease. Moving its headquarters to NY in 2013, the non-profit foundation provides a seven-day HelpLine, referralsand caregiving information, family workshops, and sup-port groups, as well as medical education and an annualconference for families and scientists.

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 RomanCatholic 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" and
Issac 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 through
skits, 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.”

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.
Hailed as a, “A tonic for children and
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
members, CSC staff, Centenary College
Theatre Department faculty and students,
Young Performers Workshop students and
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
twelve.For more information, showtimes or to

Although the UnitedStates is regarded as
the world’s wealthi-est nation, nearly 15 percentof all American householdsstruggle to put food on thetable. Regionally speaking,no one is different than any-one else and that meansfamilies in local communi-ties are affected by this na-tional plight.
Food pantries are oneway to help combat theissue of hunger. Pantries
provide nutritious food toresidents as a supplement totheir regular food shopping.Food is donated by commu-nity members and organiza-tions that sponsor fooddrives to keep food pantriesstocked.
The Hackettstown-Mansfield PBA #369 issponsoring a fall food driveto benefit the Trinity UnitedMethodist Church food
pantry of Hackettstown.According to Sgt. DarrenTynan, spokesman for thebenefit, “The Trinity’s LordFood pantry feeds morethan 1,200 families on anygiven month. The need in-creases drastically duringthe holidays.”
Typically, recipients areallowed to select what theywant using a shopping guidebased on the number of peo-ple in their household.Modern day food pantriesare often described as‘client choice’ where clientsselect what they want forthemselves. This method al-lows the freedom of choiceand eliminates waste. Somefood pantries offer a supple-mental USDA programs tofamilies that qualify such asWIC, Medicaid, FoodStamp Program and Tempo-rary Assistance to needyfamilies.
Everyone needs a littlehelp from time to time. If inneed of nutritional assis-tance, the following are

According to GraceMurryof theInterfaith foodpantry, in addition to offer-ing food pantry assistance,many locat ions offer hotmeals that are open to the
public available to anyonein need. Some food pantriesoffer satellite locations, areopened only certain days of the week or may only beavailable to town or countyresidents. She recommendscalling ahead and notes that“some food pantries requirea face to face interview sowe can help bet ter deter-mine the best, most appro-priate or alternative or
additional services to aidfamilies.”
Why not start a new fam-ily tradition and spend sometime volunteering at a foodpantry, soup kitchen or starta food pantry drive? Getkids involved for a hands-on lesson in giving back tothe community. Remember,one in six Americans, atsome point, are impacted byhunger. Chances are some-one in every neighborhood,community or Church willbe impac ted. The need isyear round, volunteers arealways sought and, everydonation counts.

National CLASSIFIED ADS

Virtual business time concepts and entertainment tech-
nology wasn’t born in Hollywood or Silicon Valley
but in a New Jersey laboratory by Thomas Alva Edi-son.
Thomas Edison invented a new technology that could bothrecord sound and play it back. In 1878 Edison was awarded
U.S. Patent No. 200,521 for the phonograph. In 1897 Thomas
Edison was also awarded one of the first movie camera
patents that started the world’s movie industry with a studio
and film production company in West Orange. This was long
before the wonders of Hollywood and Silicon Valley.Today’s most recent technical wizardry in business and
personal devices has only a few frontrunners- like Apple and
Google whose ads appear on every medium available. Fast
forward to over a century ago and the competition in dynamicand innovative technology was closed to just a few leaderstoo.
The “never before” audio technology of the 20th century
was the phonograph. The pioneering years in recorded sound
had only a few companies competing in this new technology
- Thomas Edison’s Companies, Victor Victrola and Colum-
bia. The digital world did not exist and so sound and videowhere stored and transmitted in an analog world. It was the
grooves etched into cylinders or flat discs that stored audio
sound and it was the stylus (needle) that played what was im-
pressed on those grooves.Sound and video would remain separate formats in the
early 20th century. It would take a while before sound andvideo would be combined on one device. Still, Thomas Edi-
son felt the phonograph was a marvel for both business and
entertainment applications. Hence, the phonograph was first
marketed as breakthrough office equipment technology thatcould help in dictating typed correspondence. In the world of
office correspondence everything had to be done in real time.
Managers would speak each word of their letter to the secre-
tary who would then write down these thoughts which were
later typed out. Both the manager and secretary stenographerneeded to be present simultaneously for dictating and note
taking.
The creation of the phonograph also created virtual time.Now managers could dictate their thoughts into a recording
device without a secretary present to take notes. Recorded
letters could be listened to when time was available to thetyping secretary. The winning feature was that the informa-
tion could be replayed at any selected point multiple times
for clarity before typing. This cut down on mistaken errors
in typed correspondence. Without the invention of auto cor-
rection, typed correspondence had to be “letter perfect” onthe first attempt.
Thomas Edison besides being a great inventor was keen
at marketing his new innovations. He used these inventionsas novel new tools and mediums to further promote his prod-
ucts. The amusing irony of invention was that Edison woulduse his silent movie industry to promote his audio sound in-
dustry. In 1910 he created a silent docudrama film that had
all the elements of today’s infomercials. The film was entitled
“The Stenographer’s Friend or What was Accomplished byEdison’s Business Phonograph.” The skit showed how the
Business Phonograph could free up the real time work load
for the office staff. It created a new concept in virtual time
with the recorded dictated letter. The film had a happy ending
where this office technology enabled the office staff to gohome on time with all the recorded business correspondence
ready for the next business day.
This 105 year old message of better business resultsthrough innovative office equipment can be played today.
