    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-

    for-south-sudan-inc.givecorps.com/projects/6169-

    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

    that will contribute to the well campaign

    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.

    By Cheryl Conway 

    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.

    By Elsie Walker 

    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.

    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

    By Cara Connelly 

    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

    Food recently donated at a Food For Fines collection at the Washington Townhip Public Library to support its local

     food pantry.

    clude gravy, cranberrysauce, stuffing, muffin mixand of course, turkeys.

    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.

    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.
