Angel Trees are an ideal way for

groups, companies and even office

buildings, to bring some smiles to afew unfortunate kids in their community this

holiday season. Everyone knows that many

families struggle throughout the year and it's

especially hard during the holiday season.

Many parents want to give their kids a gift

but they can't. An Angel Tree at your busi-

ness will help.

An Angel Tree is very simple. You place

a Christmas/Holiday tree in a heavy traffic

area such as the front lobby of your office or

at the entrance to the cafeteria in your build-

ing. The tree is decorated with lights, bulbsand with paper angels. Each angel has either

"Boy" or "Girl" written on the back along

with an age range such as 6 - 8 years or 10 -

12 years. No names are ever used.

People take one of the angels and buy a

gift for that kid. The wrapped gift is then

placed underneath the tree where it will be

given to a local charity that will pass it on to

a needy kid. You will need to find a local

charity that distributes gifts and ask them

when their deadline is.

You want to start your Angel Tree imme-diately after Thanksgiving and end it a few

days before the charity's deadline. This will

give you enough time to deliver the gifts and

the charity can sort them.Businesses can also invite customers and

suppliers to participate by adding it to their

next newsletter or by sending an email.

Posters and notices can be placed around the

building to remind people to buy that extra

gift when they are out doing their own shop-

ping. Sending out reminders just before the

deadline is a great way to encourage last

minute shoppers to get going.

For security reasons, you may want to

remove the gifts each night and store them

in a safe place. For office buildings, havethe gifts delivered to a secured location.

You can decorate the bottom of the Angel

Tree with empty boxes that have been

wrapped.

Immediately after the deadline, let every-

one know how many gifts were collected. A

poster or email will help bring a little good

cheer to the people who gave as well.

What To Do With The KidsR is the web-

site that adults go to when they want to

know what to do with their kids. You can

find angels to download at www.what-todowiththekids.com.

T

he retelling of the birth of one baby is helping other

babies in need. On December 7th, the 12th annual

ecumenical Christmas arts program was held at the

Port Morris United Methodist Church in Landing. The pro-gram tells the nativity story through a variety of art forms:

comedy, drama, puppetry, music, song and sign. An offer-

ing taken to purchase diapers for the Diaper Bank in

Northern NJ raised $300; this, added to other donations the

Port Morris church has received, means a total of $480 to

purchase diapers.

The nativity story was told through the combined talents of

individuals from the Port Morris United Methodist Church,

Stanhope United Methodist Church, Flanders United

Methodist Church, St. Michaels Roman Catholic Church,

Church of the Hills (Bedminster), and St. James Episcopal

Church in Hackettstown. The musical styles varied fromtraditional to contemporary to country. A key feature was

that though some scenes were done in costume, others

required the audience to use their imagination.

The monies raised by the presentation are going to pur-

chase diapers for the Diaper Bank which works with agen-

cies dealing with families with infants in need. While hav-

ing changes of diapers may not sound like a big issue, the

Diaper Bank in Northern NJs website, shares some inter-

esting statistics:

A healthy change of diapers costs $112/month for chil-

dren and $312/month for adults.

Full-time work at minimum wage grosses + $1,160/permonth and at $10/hour grosses +$1,600. Average rent for 1

Shepherds, portrayed by the Port Morris United Methodist Church youth, reflect on life watching sheep.

Nativity Presentation Raises Money for Diapers for Diaper Bank

bedroom apartment is $1,045 per month, leaving only $115-

$555 in disposable income for all other expenses, including

taxes and diapers.

In 2007 Morris County had 1,316 children under 5 liv-ing in poverty according to the U.S. Census Bureau.

Safety net programs do NOT cover diapers---not Food

Stamps, not WIC, ..

The Diaper Bank is part of Child and Family Resources.

The Heart of Christmas, a cantata by

Pepper Choplin, will be presented on

December 21st at the 10am service

of the First Presbyterian Church ofStanhope. Twenty-seven singers under the

direction of Bette Van Patten, of

Pennsylvania, will bring the work to life.

The church is located at 100 Main Street in

Stanhope. All are welcomed to attend. A

free will offering will be taken.

As noted on Choplins site (www.pepper-

choplin.com), The Heart of Christmas

tells the timeless story that we remember

each year in a creative, profound way--by

probing the hearts of those most directly

involved in St. Luke's account of that firstChristmas. This touching construct is com-

plemented by Choplin's masterful use of a

variety of musical styles.

Contemporary music, blues, country, are

among the styles Van Patten said are found

in the work. I love the variation, she said.

That variety was what drew her to select it.

The singers have been rehearsing since October in preparation for December's performance of "The

Heart of Christmas"

The Heart of Christmas to be Performed at Stanhope Church

Joining the Stanhope churchs chancel choir

in the cantata are singers from St. Michaels

Catholic Church. This is not the first time

that they have shared in a music program.

Were thrilled, said Van Patten of having

them join in on this cantata. They have the

soprano voices and are such nice people.

Lenape Valley High School junior,

Catherine Barry of Stanhope, is soloist,

singing the part of Mary. She is not the only

Barry in the choir. Proudly singing in it

with her is her grandmother, Carol Barry, ofByram.

She and I have done a few duets, and she

has done a few solos in church before. I am

thrilled to have the two of us singing togeth-

er, said Carol Barry.

The youth and young adults in the choir will

provide special music, singing some parts

of the work by themselves. Helping to fur-

ther the story will be narration. The narra-

tors for the cantata will be Ralph Wallace of

Stanhope and Linda McCabe of

Succasunna.

Many jokes have been shared about the complexity

of growing up Jewish surrounded by Christian

friends and the overwhelming influence of

Christmas come the month of December. Seemingly every-

where you look buildings, stores and homes are decked out

in lights and decorations. But Christmas celebrants are not

the only ones with reason to be festive this time of year,

when Chanukah is also cause for celebration.

Perhaps due to its proximity to Thanksgiving and

Christmas, Chanukah tends to be the most widely celebrat-

ed Jewish holiday in America. Even though it is officially

listed as a minor holiday, Chanukah is important to families

across the globe. In fact, because the basis of Chanukah is

rededication to the faith, it very well may be an instrumen-

tal celebration for families who may need to find their way

back to the roots of their beliefs.

Chanukah celebrations may not feature lavishly decorat-

ed trees or scores of celebrants belting out carols, but it

bears significance for the thousands of people who cele-

brate each year. While Chanukah is steeped in tradition, the

following are a handful of ways you can add a creative spin

to your family's festivities this year.

Light: One of the major tenets of Chanukah is how light

can shine and lead a person through dark periods. This is

typically exemplified by the lighting of the menorah, which

is prominently placed in windows or other visible areas of

celebrants' homes. This Chanukah spend time with some-

one who may be dealing with an illness or the loss of a

loved one. You may be the light that inspires this person

each day. Give candles to friends and family members to

symbolize the light that will shine in the future.

Oil: Another component of Chanukah celebrations is

the focus on how a one-day supply of oil somehow lasted

eight days during the rededication of the temple's menorah.

Many ways to include oil in celebrations exist. Some peo-

ple like to get creative in the kitchen, serving fried foods

and desserts. Think about giving gifts of oil, such as fra-

grant essential oils that can be used in potpourri or in the

bath or shower. Working alongside their parents, children

can see how a wick drenched in oil can serve as an efficient

lighting source and decorate the home with these home-

made oil lamps.

Twenty-five: Bring attention to the number 25, which is

significant when celebrating Chanukah. The word

Chanukah can be divided into two: Chanu, meaning "they

rested," and Kah, which is the numerical value of 25. On the

25th day of the Hebrew month of Kislev, the Maccabees

rested from their battle with the Greeks and triumphantlymarched into the Holy Temple in Jerusalem. Make 25 a part

of celebrations by inviting 25 people to celebrate with you

or ask children to make murals with 25 different adorn-

ments.

Charitable giving: Gift-giving is now a component of

Chanukah celebrations, but it wasn't always. Greater impor-

tance was once placed on the lighting of candles to publi-

cize the miracle and evangelize the faith. Some poor people

could not afford candles, and these people would go door-

to-door for candle funds, or "gelt," to be able to purchase

candles and kiddush wine. Some Jewish families prefer to

give money rather than gifts on Chanukah to keep with the

tradition of Chanukah gelt. However, families also can

incorporate charitable giving in their celebrations as a way

to reinforce the customs of giving to the poor.

While decorating the tree, house, or

garland, a whole section of lights

can go dark along with holiday

spirits. Light outages can be frustrating and

time-consuming to repair during the busyholiday season.

The LightKeeper "Pros" have developed

tips to keep holiday lights and spirits bright,

and keep everyone safe, too.

Measure: To estimate the number of

lights needed for your tree, plan on an aver-

age of 100 lights per every foot of tree

height.

LED vs. incandescent: LED lights are

more expensive than incandescent, but last

longer. Due to their low voltage, more sets

of LEDs can be strung together end-to-endthan traditional sets. Use lights that have the

label of an independent testing laboratory

such as Underwriters Laboratory (UL).

Inspect: Before stringing lights check

for broken bulbs and sockets, frayed cords,

burnt out lights and loose connections.

Replace and repair any damaged light sets.

For sets with bulb outages, use the

LightKeeper Pro for incandescent lights or

the LED Keeper for LEDs to find and fix

the problem in seconds.

Connect: Connect no more than three

strands of mini string sets and a maximum

of 50 bulbs for screw-in bulbs. Read manu-

facturers instructions for the safe number

of LED strands to connect. Use no more

than three light sets on any one extensioncord.

Indoor vs. outdoor: Some lights are

only for indoor or outdoor use. Outside

lights are exposed to water, so should be

rated for outdoor use. Wrap connections

with electrical tape when two or more light

strands are being used. Outdoor lights

should be plugged into circuits protected by

ground-fault-interrupters (GFCIs).

Live and artificial t rees: To string lights

on an evergreen, begin at the top of the tree

and wind strands through its center, widen-ing with the tree's shape. For deciduous

trees, work your way up. Wrap lights

around the base of its trunk, moving upward

in a spiral formation. If you use an artificial

tree, choose one that is tested and labeled as

fire resistant. Artificial trees with built-in

electrical systems should have the UL label.

Replace and repair lights: To get the

most out of your light sets, do occasional

visual checks for any bulbs that are no

longer working. Replace those bulbs as

soon as possible. If a light set stops working

Holiday Lighting 101or a section goes dark, use the LightKeeper

Pro (for incandescent lights) or LED Keeper

(for LEDs) to find and solve the issue in

seconds.

For questions about holiday light repairs,

call the holiday lighting pros at Ulta-Lit

year-round, and 7 days a week between

Thanksgiving and Christmas at 888-858-

2548 or visit www.UltaLit.com.

The countdown is on calling all Jersey

high school teens to compete in the

2015 New Jersey Shout Down Drugs

Music Competition.In its 11th year, the NJ Shout Down Drugs

Competition is accepting applications until

theMon., Jan. 12, entry deadline. Sponsored

by The Partnership for a Drug-Free New

Jersey (PDFNJ), the contest challenges stu-

dents to create music and lyrics that deliver

messages to prevent substance abuse of

drugs and alcohol.

Although contestants can be as far south

as Cape May and northeast as Jersey City, the

message is far reaching, more so than ever

before, with even greater advances in tech-

nology, the internet, world-wide web and so

many more social media outlets.

When we do online voting in the prelim-

inary and finals, we do get votes throughout

the country and the world, says Angelo

Valente, executive director of the PDFNJ.

During last years competition, 100,000

votes were casted last year in more than 60

countries in all of the continents around the

globe.

The messages shared in the songs created

by these NJ teens are reaching people around

the world helping to spread the messages

about substance abuse prevention, he says.

The contest has had an impact in resi-

dents around the world, says Valente.

Thats a new component that started three

years ago and has expanded even more withadditional social media outlets. Several thou-

sand votes have come from England,

Germany and Japan. With social media and

technology it has spread. Through their

social networking circles it gets to expand.

Created in 2005, NJ Shout Down Drugs

invites high school students to create original

music and lyrics with powerful substance

abuse prevention messages. Types of music

can be from any genre such as rap, rhythm,

blues, jazz, ballads, rock-and-roll and even A

Cappella, which was last years winner.

County finalists are then chosen by peer

judges to perform their original songs at the

Annual Statewide Prevention Concert, which

is set to be held Fri., April 17, 2015, at the

New Jersey Performing Arts Center in

Newark.

First, second and third place winners are

chosen by a panel of judges that night to

receive music contracts worth $5,000,

$3,000 and $2,000 to perform their winning

songs at different events throughout the state

during the year. The public is invited to vote

for their favorite songs through the contests

website by participating in two phases of

online voting. Since 2010, when the online

voting began, hundreds of thousands of votes

have been casted.

During the first level of the contest, about40 to 60 submissions are received from about

75 to 150 students throughout NJ.

Submissions can be from individual students

or groups of students as large as six students

in a group.

Judges which are made up of officials

from law enforcement, prevention groups,

the community, media and even teen preven-

tion leaders- review the submissions and

then select one group from each county,

resulting in 21 county winners, as well as

some wildcard groups, to perform in the

April 17 concert. Votes are also submitted

through online voting.

Entries for the competition can be

received either online or by a CD. Videos are

not accepted, only music and lyrics. To com-

pete, participants must be high school stu-

dents; NJ residents; in good standing in their

school district; submit a song up to three

minutes long with original music and lyrics.

Groups must be six members or less and stu-

dents do not have to be from the same school

district to participate.

Many participants usually sign up right

after the winter holiday break as many use

that period to perfect their song and message,

says Valente.

Its a program that a student has to take a

lot of initiative and responsibility for, saysValente, from filling out application, to creat-

ing original music and lyrics, meeting dead-

lines, and having the confidence to perform

in a concert.

All submissions must send a peer mes-

sage about how important it is to be drug-

free, says Valente. Some talk about experi-

ences in their lyrics; others may mention the

options and the different paths students

choose to take.

Drugs and alcohol affect teens and can

destroy their lives, says Valente. Messages

must focus on how important it is to remain

drug free.

Judges consider the message first and

foremost, when picking the winners, says

Valente. Judges are looking at the message

being delivered. They are also looking for

original music as well as the talent and deliv-

ery of that music. Its not as much a talent

competition, but more of a message deliv-

ered by music.

The message is the most important part

of this competition, Valente stresses. We

encourage all high school students to partici-

pate.

The only competition of its kind in the

country, NJ Shout Down Drugs MusicCompetition provides an opportunity for all

teens to come together for a good cause.

Winners will be given money and music con-

tracts to perform at different venues- from

minor league baseball games to Elk club

meetings- throughout NJ during the year.

We thought through music wed effec-

tively reach these teens, says Valente. As a

teenager you spend a lot of time listening to

music. Weve found through our research

that music has a great influence on teens.

With the online voting, the messages fordrug prevention act as a springboard reach-

ing more and more listeners. As an added

bonus, at the end of each entry, voters listen

to a prevention message from The PDFNJ.

Before anyone votes, young people get

to see this message, says Valente, which is a

30 second public service announcement,

which focuses on substance abuse preven-

tion.

This years message will focus on pre-

scription drug abuse that we continue to find

at alarming levels, says Valente.

The PDFNJ, out of Millburn, was formed

in 1992 as part of a national effort to create

smaller local chapters to join in the effort

toward substance abuse prevention. The

group provides workshops and training toparents, caregivers, educators, and municipal

alliances throughout communities in NJ.

To commemorate last years 10 year

anniversary of the NJ Shout Down Drugs

Music Competition, organizers produced a

CD to highlight all the first place contest

winners from the past decade. All high

schools throughout NJ will receive a copy of

the CD in an effort to attract more students to

enter the music competition. Schools can

also use the CD during assemblies in order to

send a message to encourage students toremain drug free, says Valente.

All those who attend the April 17 NJ

Shout Down Drugs Music Competition will

receive a copy of the commemorative CD as

well.

There is no cost to compete. Song and

lyrics need to be received by Jan. 12, whether

electronically or through mail. For more

questions or more information, contact Diane

Higgins, coordinator of NJ Shout Down

Drugs Music Competition,

Agreater awareness

of food security, the

food watershed, and

simply FOOD is driving the

farm to table and locavore

movement. These interestscome together at the Fifth

Annual Community Garden

Conference, to be held on

Saturday, March 7 at The

Frelinghuysen Arboretum in

Morristown, NJ. This day-

long program, which runs

from 9 a.m. - 4:30 p.m.,

begins with keynote speak-

er, Joseph Simcox. Mr.

Simcox is a botanical

explorer in the mode of 18thcentury adventurers. He has

travelled the continents

searching, not for gold, nor

the fountain of youth, but

for food. As an ethnob-

otanist and food security

specialist, his work has

taken him to the most

remote regions, document-

ing and tasting thousands of

little known edibles. His

talk will inspire us to see the

food as the connection

between cultures and

encourage us to continue toseek sustainable agricultural

processes, said Lesley

Parness, Superintendent of

Horticultural Education.

The program is a collab-

orative effort of The Morris

County Park Commission,

The Friends of The

Frelinghuysen Arboretum,

and the Rutgers

Cooperative Extension.

Other sessions include,

Preserving Your Harvest,

Crop Rotation, Asian

Vegetables, Keeping Beesin Community Gardens and

Attracting Pollinators.

The importance of

community gardens might

seem obvious, but the bene-

fits go way beyond just pro-

viding fresh, healthy food.

Studies have shown that

peoples lives are improved

through the cultivation and

enjoyment of plants, that

gardens foster bonds of

Fifth Annual Community Garden Conferencefriendship and support, and

that community gardeners

and their children eat

healthier diets than non-gar-

dening families, said

Cynthia Triolo,

Horticultural Program

Specialist. Community

gardens reduce our carbon

footprint and create green-

space that filters rainwater

and restores oxygen to the

atmosphere thereby reduc-

ing water and air pollution.

Ask any community gar-

dener and they will tell you

that growing ones own

food is a tremendous source

of pride and joy, but that the

connection made with other

gardeners, and with the

earth itself are just as impor-

tant, Triolo concluded. For

According to the Journal of ClinicalPsychology, 45 percent of Americans makeNew Years resolutions each year, andweight-related resolutions top the list.Unfortunately, only about 8 percent achieveany type of resolution, weight-related or not.

If youve made (and then broken) thesame old weight- or health-oriented resolu-tions each January, youre not alone. It mightbe time to focus on research-provenapproaches to get healthier that actually work without gimmicks, diets that eliminatefoods, or buying strange foods and equip-ment.Start Well: Eat Breakfast

Start the day right, and it really can makethings go better all day. Research has repeat-edly shown that people who eat breakfasttend to take in more nutrients (calcium, iron,protein and fiber), are more alert and can con-centrate better, and may even have better suc-cess with weight management.

To get yourself off to a strong start, thinkabout combining protein, carbohydrates andlow-fat dairy. Some possibilities: whole graincereal and a high protein yogurt, an Englishmuffin with peanut butter, or an egg sandwichwith fruit and yogurt.Eat Rough(age): Make Fiber a Priority

Fiber, found in whole grain wheat, barley,corn and oats, as well as in fruits, vegetablesand beans, helps keep things moving easilythrough the digestive tract. Remember thatgrain fiber has different nutritional benefitsthan fruits and vegetables, so you need both.

Fiber is also filling, providing volumewith few calories because our bodies donthave the enzymes to break it down. But fibercan be digested and used for fuel by the 10trillion bacteria that live in the colon and pre-vent numerous health conditions.

Get Your Facts Straight: If It Sounds TooGood to be True...

Losing 10 pounds in two weeks only toregain it in eight makes no sense. Whetheryouve tried to go gluten-free, low carb oravoid all white foods, chances are quite highthat your efforts didnt result in long lastingeffects. What does work? A balanced eatingpattern and an active lifestyle.

There is no one perfect diet, and anyonewho says otherwise is typically selling a bookor products promising weight loss. Registereddietitian nutritionists can be trusted to providecredible, evidence-based information that canbe tailored to your lifestyle and taste prefer-ences. In addition, eating patterns such asthose recommended by the MediterraneanDiet, the DASH Diet (Dietary Approaches toStop Hypertension) and MyPlate can provideguidance on the types of foods to include inyour meals.Move It: Walk, Dance or Ride Your Way toHealth

Unless you use it often (23 times perweek or more), skip the gym membership.Walk outside, walk the dog, dance in yourkitchen, work in the garden or ride your biketo run errands. And, if possible, do it everyday with friends for fun, and make it part of

your regular lifestyle.Make It Stick: Schedule and Track YourProgress

Make a schedule of your health goals, andkeep track of progress by writing in a foodand activity journal or calendar. Write things

down; it makes them more likely to happen.Note things like how you feel before and aftermeals and exercise. You may be surprised bywhat you learn.How to Spot a Fad Diet in 30 Seconds orLess

Fad diets come and go and return again.Here are some obvious clues that a diet is afad rather than a realistic approach forbecoming healthy.1. Sounds too good or easy to be true2. Promises rapid weight loss (510 pounds aweek) or miracle cures3. Allows only certain foods or food groups(cutting out others)4. Promotes a product, special herb, vitaminor other compound5. Can only be followed temporarily but isnot supervised by a doctor6. Hard to imagine or difficult to follow thediet forever7. Doesnt recommend a form of exercise orsays that its unnecessary8. Warns that one food or food group willmake you seriously ill or worse9. Makes recommendations based on pseudo-science not endorsed by credible organiza-tions or peer reviewed by other scientists10. Cites research that is preliminary, based

on animals, has very few subjects, or usespoor methodology

The bottom line: Eat when you are hungry,strive for moderation and move more to feelgood.Tips to Trim Mindless Calories

Eat mindfullyPut all of your attention on the food and

nowhere else.Eat for hunger

Make sure you are eating because you arehungry and not for other reasons.Eat slowly

Youll stop eating sooner and register thatyouve had enough.

Eat without guiltConsider whether the food is an every-

day food or sometimes food and eataccordingly, enjoying every biteFor more info, try these resources:US News and World Report Ranking of BestOverall Diets:health.usnews.com/best-diet/best-overall-diets.Mediterranean Diet: oldwayspt.org/pro-grams/mediterranean-foods-alliance/what-mediterranean-diet.DASH Diet: http://www.nhlbi.nih.gov-health/health-topics/topics/dash/.Find a Registered Dietitian: www.eatright.org/programs/rdnfinder/.MyPlate: www.choosemyplate.gov.Information on diet, health, fiber, gluten andother topics: www.wheatfoods.org.

Start 2015 off right, enjoying a night of

dance, comedy, theater, music and chil-

drens performances all in the heart of

Morristown.

There is more brewing on New Years Eveother than beer, champagne, Times Square

and the annual ball dropping extravaganza.

Grab the family, bag the babysitter this year,

turn the big screen off and join in on the fun

at First Night Morris County 2015. The event

is scheduled for Wed., Dec. 31, with perform-

ances to begin at 4:45 p.m., magnificent fire-

works on the Green at 9:15 p.m. and again

atmidnight when the program ends.

With more than 80 performances sched-

uled, involving 200 individual artists, to be

held at 25 venues centering on theMorristown Green, Theres something for

everyone, says Michael Schmidt, chair of

the Board of Trustees First Night Morris

County. There really is. Its a great event. It

caters to all ages on purpose.

Attending First Night- first when he was a

kid and then performing with his former

band, Old Man Out, 14 years ago at First

Night Morris County 2001, has had a lasting

positive influence on Schmidt who has served

as the event chair for the past four years.

Its really the value, says Schmidt. Thevalue is number one; you are seeing these

artists, many who charge $100 per ticket.

The diversity of events, diversity of talent is

really unique, with dance, comedy, rock,

jazz, blues, classical, childrens performances

and theater. You have all these different art

mediums in one place and sense of communi-ty all in one place.

The experience of being in the community

on New Years Eve and enjoying the arts has

a lasting impression on those who attend.

The sense of community, vibrancy of

being out in a safe engaging community, in an

alcohol-free event provides a nice alternative

to people, says Schmidt. Its a feeling of

vibrancy; its tough to describe but really

amazing until you go.

In its 23rd year, nearly 10,000 people

come out to First Night to ring in the NewYear with an unmatched array of perform-

ances! First Night Morris County 2015 is the

biggest and brightest New Years Eve cele-

bration in New Jersey, providing a magnifi-

cent family-friendly and alcohol-free celebra-

tion, as stated in the program.

Founded in 1992 by the Morris County

Freeholders in collaboration with Morris

Arts, First Night Morris County is modeled

after the 1976 First Night in Boston, explains

Schmidt. We are the largest one in the state,

with other venues in Haddonfield, Ocean Cityand Mt. Holly.

Seeing success in other communities, in

Morris County People wanted alternative

ways to celebrate New Years Eve, focusing

on the arts. It became a tradition. Arts and

entertainment is the focus.

Participants receive a First Night MorrisCounty admission button which gives them

access to innovative, diverse and high quali-

ty performances ideal for participants of all

ages. The venues- such as the Mayo

Performing Arts Center, library, Morristown

High School, The Hyatt and various church-

es- are within close walking distance of one

another at the historic Morristown Green and

free shuttles are also being provided by

Atlantic Health. All performances are indoors

and will take place regardless of weather.

Artists and performers are sought out eachyear to perform at First Night Morris County.

Two-thirds of this years performers are new

to the program, adds Schmidt.

The British Invasion Tribute Band returns

to the Mayor Performing Arts Center this

year. Dinoman will also be entertaining for

the children with his large inflatable

dinosaurs.

Another highlight will be Comedian Jon

Fisch, who has appeared on the Late Show

with David Letterman and had also opened

for Jerry Seinfeld in the past.New this year is the mobile website- first-

nightmorris.org- highlighting the event with

all the performances scheduled, a map, the

program and frequently asked questions.

Attendees can now learn the performers in

advance, and map out their schedule for the

evening to get the most of their New YearsEve.

Tickets can be purchased before Dec. 31,

online at firstnightmorris.com; from Mayo

Performing Arts Center (MPAC) at 973-539-

8008; or at the Box Office, 100 South Street

in Morristown.

Buttons can also be purchased the day of

the event at the Command Center, in the

Hyatt Morristown Conference Center at

Headquarters Plaza, Mayo Performing Arts

Center, and Morristown Library. Printed tick-

ets distributed by the Mayo Performing ArtsCenter for online orders can be exchanged for

buttons on the night of the event at any First

Night location.

With more than 150 volunteers needed at

the various venues to help provide a smooth

program, Schmidt says the organization wel-

comes new people to get involved. Volunteers

receive a free admission ticket to attend per-

formances.

Tickets cost $20, or $70 for a four-pack,

before Dec. 21; and $25, or $90 for a four-

pack from Dec. 22 through Dec. 31 Childrenfour and under are free.

People from around the world celebrate

to mark the arrival of the new year. One

New Year tradition that has survived

through the centuries is that of Baby New

Year and its image of a toddler wearing only

a diaper, sash and top hat.Baby New Year can be

traced to 600 B.C. in Greece

and Egypt. Historians note

that Greeks believed

Dionysus, their God of

fertility and wine, was

reborn every New Year as a

spirit of fertility and luck.

Greeks would cele-

brate with parades

featuring a baby in a cradle to represent the

birth of Dionysus.Ancient Egyptians used a baby as a sym-

bol to represent rebirth as well. The child

symbolized the birth of the new year and the

passing of the old one.

Over the years, the tradition of Baby New

Year has taken on another meaning as well.

Some people believe the baby begins as an

infant in January and then quickly ages until

he is elderly at the end of December. Some

stories even suggest Baby New Year ages

until he becomes Father Time.

Early Christians did not like the tradition

of Baby New Year, feeling it was a pagan cel-

ebration. However, the Church eventually

revised its standing when it saw how much

people stood behind

the imagery of a baby

representing rebirth.The Christian

Church allowed

members to cele-

brate the new year

with a baby, and it

was believed the

practice symbolized

the birth and hope

offered by baby Jesus.

Baby New Year

symbolism has even been used for marketing

purposes. Retailers realized the cherubicimage would attract consumers, which is why

it is now used to promote New Year's sales.

But Baby New Year is more than just a

successful marketing tool. Each year, many

cities and villages name their own Baby New

Year, which is the first child born on January

1. Some attempts to name a Baby New Year

for an entire country have been made, but

there have been no official pronouncements,

as so many children have been born around

midnight on New Year's Eve that it has been

too close to call which baby arrived first.

One day in November, bags were left at homes in

Port Morris (Landing) and on Main Street in

Stanhope with a flier and a simple request: if pos-

sible get one or more grocery items listed on the flier, put

the items in the bag and leave the bag by the front door ona certain day. What might seem like a simple request would

end up meaning so much to area residents in need. The

food drive was a project spear-headed by the youth of the

Port Morris United Methodist Church in Landing, and

joined in by youth from the Stanhope United Methodist

Church in Netcong. It was the latter churchs pantry that

benefitted from the drive. Approximately 60 bags of food

were collected. A short thank you note was left at each

home that donated.

We are so thankful for the Port Morris United

Methodist Church youth and our youth for their food drive.

The kids were all so eager and I feel this raises awarenessto them and their families that there are many hungry peo-

ple in the world and in our own communities. The youth

learned the importance of caring for others, treating others

as themselves. The youth collected boxes and boxes of

canned goods, pastas, soup, and other non- perishable

foods that will feed many families during the winter

months. These families are very thankful for the assis-

tance. They humbly come to us for assistance and thanks

to food drives such as this, we are able to provide healthy

nourishment, said Lynn Zaremba, pastor of the Stanhope

United Methodist Church

The food drive team included 12 youths and four adults

from the Port Morris United Methodist Church and four

youths and two adults from the Stanhope United Methodist

Church. The project included not only getting out the fliers

and bags, but collecting the food, checking the expiration

dates, sorting it, boxing it, and taking it to the pantry. Tina

Berchak of Stanhope, who co-leads the Port Morris UnitedMethodist youth group with Jennifer Kasilag of

Hopatcong, talked to the youth after they were finished.

Some were surprised at how often the food pantry is used.

Overall, they were happy to have done something to help

others.

This event is so important because it teaches each one

of us that you learn how to be a Christian by practicing

your faith. The youth group gets particularly excited about

this project because they know they are directly helping

someone in our community that cannot afford food and for

that I am very proud of all of them for working together

and seeing it to fruition, said Berchak.Zaremba noted that the Stanhope United Methodist

Church pantry can always use donations of non- perishable

food items. These include, but are not limited to, canned

vegetables, meats, soups, stews, beans and fruit; cereal and

oatmeal, pasta and sauce, rice, boxed potato mix, peanut

butter and jelly, mac 'n cheese, ramen noodles, pancake

mix and syrup.

She shared, We are very thankful to our community for

all their support with donations and fundraisers that pro-

vide food for those in need.

Methodist Church at 973-347-0247.

by Michele Guttenberger

In his twenties Thomas Edison worked at

the News Reporting Telegraph

Company in Newark. During this peri-od of his life he was a very busy experimen-

tal research engineer for the telegraph com-

pany. He did not have much time for

romance. However, fate had helped him

find his new bride. She was a young school

girl named Mary Stillwater who was not yet

16. By chance she had ducked into the tele-

graph company to avoid a heavy rainstorm

on her walk back home. That is when

Thomas Edison found love at first sight. He

escorted her back home that day and for five

months there was a traditional courtship.Her quoted thoughts of their first encounter

were, I thought he had very handsome

eyes, yet he was so dirty, all covered with

machine oil. On Christmas Day 1871

twenty four year old Thomas Alva Edison

married sixteen year old Mary Stillwater.

When the wedding ceremony was over he

returned to work on his stock ticker project

before the Christmas Day had ended leaving

his bride to wait for him on their first wed-

ding night.

Thomas Edisons marriage continued as

it had started - the ever absent working fam-

ily man. He was always in the laboratory

and hardly ever at home. Thomas Edison

had three children with Mary Stillwater.When they reached their 13th year of mar-

riage, it was abruptly ended not by divorce

but, by Marys untimely death at the age of

29. In the last few years of Mary Edisons s

life, she suffered chronic pain and relied

heavily on morphine to kill the pain and it

was this morphine addiction that tragically

took her life.

In the early 1880s Thomas Edison was

now the famous inventor and his latest proj-

ect (two years before his wifes death) was

bringing electric lighting to NYC and hespent his time not in his laboratory close to

home in Menlo Park, NJ but, at his Edison

Electric Light Companys location in

Manhattan.

When the first electric lighted Christmas

tree was lit in 1882 this spectacle did not

take place in the Edison family home in

Menlo Park but in Manhattan. The address

was 139 East Thirty-Sixth-Street, the fami-

ly home of Mr. E. H. Johnson. He was the

vice president of Edisons light company

and it was his familys Christmas tree that

made history. The Johnson family would

get encore newspaper coverage of this mod-

ern day Christmas marvel in 1884 by The

New York Times in the society page withfull technical details. The Christmas of

1884 found Thomas Edison a new widower

with three children. That same year he

almost lost his home in Menlo Park from a

lawsuit and court judgments against him

that led to a sheriffs sale. With no cash in

savings, Edison had to rely on a friend to

place a pre-emptive bid to save his home.

Years later Edison learned from his sor-

rowful regrets of Christmases past.

Although he still worked long hours in his

laboratory in West Orange, NJ, he reservedChristmas Day with his second wife Mina

Edison. Together they had a festive and

decorated Christmas home for their three

young children. They married on February

24, 1886. He was 39 and she was 20 years

old. He gave her an outstanding wedding

gift - a beautiful Jersey countryside estate

called Glenmont nestled in the Llewellyn

Park section of West Orange. Glenmont is

a 29-room Queen Anne-style home only one

mile from Edisons labs and Thomas Edison

made sure he spent many Christmases with

his family at Glenmont. It is also no small

wonder why Edison produced Charles

Dickens A Christmas Carol in his movie

studio in 1910. It was a Holiday message

that he learned not to forget.The Holidays at Glenmont guided

tours will be offered on Fridays, Saturdays

and Sundays between 11:00 a.m. and 3:00
