    the ranks of the RoxburyMarching Gaels.

    While volunteering overthe summer, JessicaKriegsfeld was approachedby Janet Wald, director of Roxbury Social Services,about the Food Pantry'sempty shelves. Wald indi-cated that the Food Pantrywas in desperate need of donations in order to pro-vide healthy options fortheir clients and to maintainthe level of support uponwhich the people that usethis resource depend.

    Kriegsfeld enlisted theassistance of her fellowMarching Gaels DrumMajor, Grant Hastings, whotogether approached BandDirector, Todd Nichols, forpermission to run a fooddrive during the week-longMarching Band Camp thisAugust. With Mr. Nichol'sapproval, Kriegsfeld andHastings hung postersaround the band room anddistributed flyers to march-ing band members request-

    believe this program will greatly benefit thecommunity, Tierney said at the August 25Roxbury Board of Education meeting.

    Students returned to buildings that sawmajor face lifts over the summer, due to a$7.9 million Energy Savings ImprovementProgram. The government-sponsored pro-gram afforded the district to make long

    overdue upgrades to the heating, cooling,lighting and controls systems in the build-ings, according to Tierney.

    The new year also begins with an

    expanded Chromebook Initiative atEisenhower Middle School and RoxburyHigh School., for grades 7 through 11.Roxbury Public Schools expanded the pro-gram to grade 11 after the pricing structurefor the Google Chromebook dropped,according to district officials.

    By Joe Klock, Sr.

    The following material was salvaged from my ran-dumb notes on floating scraps of paper hereabout.None of it is ready, IMHO, for either full columnar treat-

    ment or the shredder, thus it is submitted for your edifica-tion, vilification, aggravation or forwarding to otherdefenseless recipients.

    - The past is a canceled check and the future, at best, apromissory note, so don't piddle away the present withpointless games of "what-if" and "if-only." Better to fixwhat you can and forget what you can't....like,maybe,TODAY!

    - REMOTELY RELATED QUERY: Should terminatedpregnancies in Czechoslovakia be officially recorded ascanceled Czechs?

    - 'Splain me this, if you can: When domestic animals arefound in inhumane conditions, they are taken away fromtheir owners. Young children in similar circumstances, onthe other hand, are customarily left with their delinquentnon-care-givers, who are subsidized for their negligence -this, presumably, under the (dis)guise of the sanctity of par-enthood.

    - Among the higher aspirations of personkind (we arestriving here for political correctness) is inner peace, andthe road to that begins with acceptance - acceptance, that is,of situations we are powerless to change. Implicitly, thatrules out anything and everything we ARE able to changefor the better. It follows that "awfulizing," also called "stew-ing without doing," is never an acceptable substitute for tak-ing action, however small a step it might be to toward solv-

    ing or mitigating the problem at hand. Suffering in silence,in a free society like ours, is a self-inflicted

    wound...so speak up or SHUT up!- Query for Atheists: How do you KNOW there is no

    God...or do you just strongly BELIEVE that? If the latter,you're in the same boat as the Doofuses you snicker at!

    - The number of people in our nation who are receivingFederal Food Stamps has grown to more than 46 million.Meanwhile, the National Park Service continues to urgepeople not to feed wild animals. Their stated reason isbecause, "they will grow dependent on handouts and willnot learn to provide for themselves." A touch of irony here?

    - "Now" is not a movable feast and "then" is not alwaysavailable for instant replay. As John Greenleaf Whittier putit, "Of all sad words of tongue or pen, the saddest are these,'It might have been.'" So, if a "one of these days" irems ison your drawing board, why not pick this one? Life may notbe the party we had hoped for, but while we're here, wemight as well dance!

    - With another Election Day coming up, there's one veryimportant question to ask yourself: "Have I listened to bothsides of the issues?" If not, PLEASE don't vote unless anduntil you have done so!

    - A greater danger for many (if not most) of us is not thatour aims are too high and we'll miss them, but that they aretoo low and we'll shred the bull's-eye! (There's a high prob-ability that some poor slobs invented 6-UP and PreparationG, then gave up trying).

    - Successful people are often simply ordinary folks who

    just did what many of their contemporaries, and most of their competitors, CHOSE not to do.

    - A greeting card idea of mine that never made the cut('specially down heah in the Southland):

    "Christmas is a ball for people one and all,Just gushing with good fellowship and cheer.But I wonder why the hell I shouldn't wish you wellAt this cold, unfriendly, crappy time of year?Happy February 13th!"- Similar fate for one of my unsuccessful stabs at a par-

    ody writing (to the tune of "Good Night, Irene."):"Just t'other day I got married; we had champagne and a

    cake.Then me and my wife soon got parted, 'cause I made a

    big mistake.I said, 'Irene, good night, Irene good night. Good night,

    Irene, good night, Irene.But my bride's name was Phyllis."- WORDS TO LIVE BY:- Always try to forgive - even if and when you can't for-

    get.- Always do your very best. If that falls short of success,

    go with the flow and try again.- Always say something nice to everyone you meet

    today...even "them" (you know who!)- Encore reminder: Always learn to live with those

    regrettable thing in the past that you can't remedy now, sothey won't poop on your present or foul up your future.

    Y ou might want to use this particularmonth as a useful reminder to takeaction on what could be one of yourmost important financial goals: leaving ameaningful legacy.

    A legacy isnt simply a document or abunch of numbers its what you will beremembered for, and what you have leftbehind that will be remembered. Its essen-tially your chance to contribute positively tothe future, whether that means providingfinancial resources for the next generation,helping those charitable organizationswhose work you

    support, or a combination of both.To create your legacy, youll need to do

    some planning. And you can start by asking

    yourself a couple of key questions:What are your goals? When you think

    about leaving a legacy, what comes tomind? First and foremost, you may wellwant to leave enough money to help yourown grown children meet their financialgoals. After that, you probably have otherthings youd like to accomplish. Perhapsyou want to provide resources for yourgrandchildren to attend college? Or set up ascholarship at your own alma mater? Givefinancial support to a cultural, social, reli-

    gious or scientific group? By thinking aboutyour goals and putting them on paper, even

    in an informal sense, youll be taking theimportant first step in leaving the legacyyou desire.

    How can you turn your goals into reali-ty? If you dont take some concrete steps,

    your legacy just wontmaterialize. And themost important step you need to take is tocreate a comprehensive estate plan. Yourestate plan can be quite involved, because itmay involve several legal documents, suchas a will, living trust, health care power of attorney, and so on. In creating these mate-rials, you will need to work with your legaland tax advisors because estate planning isdefinitely not a do-it-yourself endeavor.

    You probably shouldnt wait until youare deep into retirement to take action on

    your estate plan because developing thenecessary documents and arrangements cantake a fair amount of time and youllwant to make these preparations whenyoure in good mental and physical health.Also, the longer you wait to set up yourestate plan, the less likely it will be thatyouve communicated your wishes clearlyto your family members, who may end upunsure about what you want and what theirroles are in carrying out your plans andthats an outcome you certainly dont want

    to see.In fact, clear communications are essen-

    Your Legacy Is in Your Handstial to developing a successful estate plan.You should not only tell your family mem-bers and anyone else affected by yourestate plan what you are thinking of doing but also inform them about the pro-

    fessionals with whom you are working andthe locations in which you are storing anyvital documents, such as your will.

    By identifying your goals, working withthe appropriate professionals to create aneffective estate plan, and communicatingregularly with your family members andother key players in your life, you can go

    a long way toward leaving the legacy youdesire. So, do what it takes to launch thatlegacy.Dawn O'Malley Financial Advisor yourEdward Jones Financial Advisor

    Ray Chimileski, Operation Chillout,Executive Director, said This is OperationChillout's (OCOs) 4th annual fundraiser forour homeless veteran outreach. Proceedsfrom the event will enable us to provide

    new season-appropriate clothing, emer-gency temporary shelter assistance, summersupplies and survival gear. A special fundhas also been set up to acquire an all-terrainRapid Response Vehicle to reach homelessvets in all locations in all weather condi-tions.

    Those who purchased a ticket to theevent helped to support the survival of ourhomeless vets.

    Operation Chillout website notes thatthere are up to 7,500 Homeless Veterans liv-ing on the streets of New Jersey. Many face

    acute Post Traumatic Stress Disorder andchronic illnesses of body, mind and spirit.Operation Chillout is counting on help fromthe public to enable them to move forward

    with their year-round outreach work.In the winter, Operation Chillout pre-

    G aining self-confidence, greater ath-leticism, and learning cognitive andsocial skills are all benefits of becoming involved in gymnastics.

    Cheryl Moorman, Director of CSGymnastics, of Flanders, is celebrating 30years of success and knows her studentshave been succeeding right along with her.

    Moormann said she is pleased with thelongevity of CS Gymnastics, and notes thatshe has taught students who, years later,grown with families of their own choose tobring their kids to CS Gymnastics for class-es.

    Helping generation after generation of individuals become involved and skillful inthe sport of gymnastics is an admirablething, and Moormann notes that there areindeed physical benefits as well as non-physical advantages.

    Our goal is to promote all of them, shesaid.

    In general, physical benefits includegaining muscle strength, healthy bones, andflexibility, while non-physical benefitsinclude healthy brain functions, improvedacademic achievements, social skills, andreduced risky behavior.

    Whether you view gymnastics as a com-

    petitive sport or as recreational fitness,Moormann said it has grown to become a

    respected industry over the years. CSGymnastics is, in fact, an official club mem-ber of USA Gymnastics, a national govern-ing body of the sport based in Indianapolis.

    On the CS Gymnastics website,

    www.csgymnasticsinc.com, it notes that it isthe friendly, fun place of positive begin-nings. It is dedicated to the total develop-ment of each gymnast.

    Some students work hard to greatlyimprove their athletic skills by way of gym-nastics, and some make it their goal to com-pete.

    Several of Moormanns students havegone on to compete in college and she saidshe is happy that her staff and facility canprovide a great stepping stone for suchstudents.

    She said that as the industry grew overthe years, owners of gymnastics instruction-al centers sometimes would each take on adifferent focus and provide servicesaccordingly. Some owners will focus on thesuccess in fitness and life skills instructionalclasses offer, others will strive to developpotential Olympic athletes, and still otherowners will provide services and classes thatfall somewhere in between these scenarios.

    Moormann also works hard to make hercourses quite effective and practical. On

    their website, there are many courses offeredand each have their specific focus and style,

    as well as age and skill level, of course. AndMoormann also takes into account that fam-ilies may have multiple siblings, hecticschedules, and that each child may preferdifferent activities. One can see there is a

    great deal of thought and integrity that goesinto the design and objectives of each of theclasses.

    Their brochure easily explains coursesspecific to various ages, activity and skilllevels. There are monthly payment plans anddiscounts available when several siblingsattend the school, and students can choose toattend two classes per week as part of anaccelerated learning program.

    Karate, Cheer, and Art are also offered atthe school, which has 12 instructors andabout 12,000 square feet of space. There is aviewing balcony which offers parents andspectators an exciting and complete viewof the entire gymnastics training area.

    When entering the gym area one is takenwith the colorful and clean surroundingsamid the great selection of pre-school tocompetitive level equipment. This welcom-ing environment allows us to host invitation-al competitions as well as special class per-formances during the school year. In addi-tion to offering a thrilling event to view, wehope to provide an inspiration of dreams for

    young athletes to pursue, the website reads.Moormann said there are perhaps 90

    clubs in New Jersey, but only about a dozenhave lasted as long as CS Gymnastics. Thisis certainly an excellent track record andeveryone involved at CS Gymnastics shouldbe very proud of this.

    Currently Moormann said she has thegoal of pushing to improve and upgrade tomake our customer service top notch.

    Moormann and her husband are continu-ally looking for areas to serve the families of their community. CS Gymnastics is knownto offer courses that work with individualsof all age levels and abilities, and they evenhave two instructors that work with specialneeds children. These courses have resultedin positive therapy and a great learning envi-ronment for kids.

    Moormann said she has a passion to seeall students succeed and grow as individuals,and enjoys seeing when a childs face lightsup after learning something brand new perhaps a certain gymnastics skill or makingit to the top of the climbing rope.

    On Sunday, Sept. 28, from 2 to 5 pm,there is an open house to celebrate their 30thanniversary, and many activities beingoffered. There will be activities to try fromall their programs including an inflatableslide, obstacle course, balloons, prizes, and,of course cake. Phone number for CS

    Gymnastics is 973-347-2771.

    P lastic bottles are routinely recycled into other plas-tic items and new bottles, but they can be turnedinto much more. When you were sipping waterfrom that bottle, you probably never thought of the possi-bilities of wearing that very plastic. However, fabricinnovators are turning disposed plastic into durable gar-ments. When compared with producing virgin materials,recycling plastic products helps save up to 70 percent onenergy costs. Recycled bottles can be broken down intopellets of pure recycled plastic that is virtually indistin-guishable from virgin plastic. Then the pellets are turnedinto yarn, which can be woven as-is or mixed with otheryarns to produce polyester clothing. According to Waste2 Wear, a recycled clothing company, anywhere from 12to 20 bottles can be saved per garment and transformedinto anything from robes to shirts to uniforms. Recycledclothing presents yet another way to turn trash into treas-ure.

    Two local sisters who lost their fatherto lung cancer two years ago arestepping up awareness of the silentkiller by chairing and walking in the fifthannual Northern New Jersey Free toBreathe Walk later this month.

    The event is set for Sunday, Sept. 21, atHorseshoe Lake in Succasunna, with regis-tration at 10 a.m., rally at 11 a.m. and the5K walk beginning at 11:30 a.m. The walkis being hosted by Free to Breathe, a nation-al non-profit organization founded in 2001to support lung cancer survival throughresearch, fundraising and public awareness.

    Keri Rutkowski, 32, of Morris Plains,and Kellie Smith, 35, of Morristown haveso far raised about $23,000 since gettinginvolved in Free To Breathe in 2011, aftertheir father was diagnosed with lung cancer.Their goal for this years walk is to reach$25,000, and to continue to raise awarenessof the disease; reduce the stigma that lungcancer is a smokers disease; and encourageothers to get involved in the organization.

    I couldnt save my dads life but we aretrying to save other peoples lives, saysRutkowski. My dad did not have an easyway out. The pain level he had to endure, noone deserves that.

    Their father, Mike Smith, of MorrisPlains was diagnosed with Stage 4 lung can-cer in Feb. 2011 after worsening back painled to blood tests and a cat-scan. Rutkowskirecalls him complaining of back pain asearly as Dec. 2010, the same time the bliz-zards came, she says. We figured he wasgetting older. He was the type of guy whoshoveled everyones driveways.

    But when the back pain got progres-sively worse, Mike Smith went for addi-tional tests which first showed an infectionin the lower back and then a weekend trip tothe emergency room for a biopsy of theinfection. After a cat-scan and bone scan,they learned on Wednesday, that it wasStage 4 Lung Cancer- Skima CellCarcinoma, with a tumor on his left lungthat had spread around his windpipe anddown parts of his spine.

    After radiation treatments to shrink thetumors on his spine, followed bychemotherapy, Mike Smith- who was aretired supervisor of a local water company,volunteer firefighter and president of theMt. Kemble Fire Co.- fought the cancer for14 months. He died on May 4, 2012 at theage of 61, leaving behind his wife PeggySmith of Morris Twp.; son Matt Smith of Manville; and two daughters-Keri and

    Kellie.While blindsided with the sudden

    news when he was diagnosed, Rutkowskiand her family tried to stay positivethroughout the battle of fighting the diseaseand she says this attitude helped in the end.

    My father and I and all of us are verypositive people, says Rutkowski. We saidthese are just statistics but we are going tokick its butt. He fought for 14 months. Ireally think the positive outlook helpedhim.

    As part of their positive mindset, KellieSmith found the local cancer walk- Free to

    Breathe in 2011 for spirits and cheeringhim on, and organized a team of about 30walkers to participate. That was the onlyyear their father attended the walk, but theladies have been advocates ever since ascommittee members last year and co-chairsthis year requiring greater involvement,more planning and sponsorships.

    New this year is a Kids Dash that invitesyoungsters to complete a 100 yard dash.

    In their fourth year participating, the twosisters had 15 signed up on their team as of press time, with hopes to have 25.

    Besides raising money to support theFree to Breathe Organization, the two sis-ters have three goals as part of their missionin fighting the disease.

    When looking at statistics, they learnedthat lung cancer is the silent killer, withsymptoms that exist but are often ignored assomething of a lesser degree.

    Who thought back pain would be stagefour cancer? asks Rutkowski, regardingher fathers diagnosis. It put a pit in mystomach. A former smoker, Mike Smithquit smoking 17 years prior to his diagnosis

    because he wanted to live longer, saysRutkowski.

    If people had known what the symp-toms are, situations if you are not feelingright, if there was more knowledge or moretests that could have been done? she ques-tions. There are tests for prostate cancer orbreast cancer; why is there nothing beingused that is preventative?

    One of the symptoms of lung cancer iscommon stuff like a cough, but then thediagnosis is often a cold or allergies. If its

    persistent, they really need to get checked.

    People call it allergies.While attending an Action Summit for

    Free to Breathe in Sept. 2011, Rutkowskilearned her roommates story of how shewas an advocate for her own health whenshe took it upon herself to fight for a cat-scan and they found she had early stages of lung cancer. After having a lobectomy, thewoman from Ohio survived. She was anadvocate for her own body; she fought forwhat she needed and won.

    Rutkowski recalls her dad always had alittle cough ever since she was little. Evenwith a regular check-up they said he wasfine. He needed a cat-scan or the bloodresults.

    Besides encouraging others to become

    advocates for their own health, the two sis-ters would like to reduce the stigma withlung cancer. While smoking is the leadingcause for lung cancer, exposure to radon isthe second leading cause to the disease.

    If you have lungs you can get lung can-cer, says Rutkowski.

    New cases of lung cancer shows that 10percent to 15 percent of lung cancer victimsnever smoked, totaling 20,000 to 30,000non-smokers diagnosed every year. Otherrisk factors include second-hand smoke,

    radiation, asbestos, air pollution and some

    organic chemicals.For homeowners, Rutkowski recom-

    mends checking radon levels every twoyears to make sure that remediation is notrequired. Every year Im checking it andmaking sure its under zero, she says.

    When we learned about lung cancer welearned how much funding they werentgetting, says Kellie Smith about the scarystatistics. She says, People turn theirhead because of the relationship to smok-ing and how its self-inflicting. But Youdont have to smoke to get lung cancer.People dont realize you just need lungs toget lung cancer.

    According to statistics, lung cancer takesthe lives of around 160,000 Americans each

    year more than the total deaths frombreast, prostate and colon cancers com-bined. Although lung cancer is the leadingcancer killer, it is still the least-funded of all major cancers.

    Their third goal is to market Free toBreathe and encourage others to getinvolved in the community.

    We found that being with people wasvery healing, it helped us cope, saysRutkowski. People are very quiet aboutlung cancer; its hard to talk about. Its nice

    to know there are people who share that

    experience and are trying to raise moneyand awareness.

    In addition to the annual walk, Free toBreathe encourages other communityfundraisers. Rutkowski and Smith hosted apasta dinner last year raising $3,000; and acharity garage sale this year that raised$1,500.

    Free to Breathe is a wonderful commu-nity, concludes Smith. Its goal is to doublethe survival rate by 2022, not an easy tasksince lung cancers five-year survival rateof 16 percent has not changed in more than40 years, making the need for researchfunding more critical than ever. In compari-son, the five-year survival rate for breastcancer has advanced to 98.6 percent and

    prostate cancer to 99.2 percent, according tostatistics.

    September 22nd!

    Another school year is underway andwith it comes homework, play dates,team sports and more, which canmake the task of feeding your kids healthysnacks a daunting one.

    Fortunately, there are several ways parentscan make snack time easier and more nutri-tious. Healthy, convenient and naturallysweet options, such as California raisins, area great solution for snack time throughout theschool year.

    California raisins are an all-natural,dried-by-the-sun fruit parents can feel goodabout giving their kids, says Larry Blagg,senior vice president of marketing for theCalifornia Raisin Marketing Board. Theingredient list says it all raisins.

    Because they are 100-percent fruit with noadded sugar, raisins contain zero empty calo-ries, according to the United StatesDepartment of Agriculture (USDA) Food-a-Pedia website. In fact, a recent study present-ed at the Canadian Nutrition Society, foundthat children who eat raisins as an after-school snack may prevent excessive calorieintake and may increase satiety (or feelingfull) when compared to other commonsnacks.

    For naturally sweet and satisfying ways toavoid falling into a snacking rut, follow thesesimple tips:

    1.) Dont leave snacking to chance. Avoidunhealthy snacks by preparing nutritiousoptions ahead of time. Try a no-fuss optionlike a hearty trail or snack mix and addCalifornia raisins for sweetness without thesugar.

    2.) Make grab-and-go snacks. Makesnacks that are portable. On busy days, hav-ing go-to snacks that travel well in backpacks,lunch boxes, your purse or car will save timeand satisfy hungry tummies.

    3.) Involve the kids. Create healthy habitsby involving kids in snack preparation. Whenkids are engaged in creating their own snacks,parents can make valuable connectionsbetween food choices and nutrition. Choosefun and simple recipes kids can make on theirown or with little help.

    For more information about Californiaraisins and more great recipes, please visitwww.loveyourraisins.com, and sign up for aCalifornia Raisins snack pack on theCalifornia raisins Facebook page at face-book.com/californiaraisins.

    Overhaul

    By Michele Guttenberger

    Thomas Edison had an unconventional education. Hedid not start school until he was eight years old. PortHeron Michigan did not have a public school so heattended the private Reverend G. B. Engle School that wasclosest to his home. This school had rigid classroom disci-pline and Edison had a free inquisitive spirt that could notbe tamed. The school claimed Edison was a slow and rest-less pupil and he needed strict reprimanding. His motherNancy Edison strongly disagreed with the schools evalua-tion of her child. Fortunately, Nancy Edisons past profes-sion was being a Canadian school teacher and her solutionwas to home school her own son. The academic coursework Nancy Edison helped to motivate her son came fromreading R.G. Parker's School of Natural Philosophy and inthe later years from The Cooper Union (http://www.coop-er.edu/). Historians estimate that Edison had less than a

    year of classroom schooling in his lifetime. Yet, he hadgreat academic skills and a real passion for reading books.Many of the books he read were advanced literary works forhis age.

    In Edisons boyhood era, child labor laws were nonexist-ent or very lax. It was not unusual for children twelve yearsof age to procure regular employment with minimal adultsupervision. The Fort Gratiot train depot was a just a shortstroll from the Edison family home. So, at the age of twelve, Edison found his first job working for the railroad.He became a candy butcher on the Grand Trunk Railroadselling snacks and newspapers to passengers. He got toexperience traveling each day on the sixty-mile run fromPort Huron to Detroit. Preteenager Edison hitched a ride on

    the best the late 19th Century offered in distance high speedtransportation while most adults were still traveling byhorse and carriage to their jobs. The long lay overs in thiscity presented him with a real world of discovery. Thisenabled a precocious young boy the time to explore the big

    metropolis on his own terms. He was given several hourseach day to the city. He made use of this idle time by join-ing the Detroit Young Men's Society. This gave him accessto the place of his dreams, a large library and reading room.Edison recalled his childhood library visits stating "I didn'tread a few books, I read the library."

    Edisons childhood jobs kept him in the epicenter of technology. It was the rail system that also ushered in thetelegraph system. The telegraph area was news the networkcenter that provided the information for the newspaper pub-lication industry. As the rail station newspaper boy, he wasin the epicenter of all national news during a momentoustime of Americas own Civil War. Young Edison was alert-ed to milestone battlefront news hours or even days beforethe rest of America. This new technology of the telegraphpiqued his interest. He got to witness the telegram transmis-sions being relayed and he read all he could about telegraphcommunications with dreams of being an operator of thisnew technology. Edison wish came true by a twist of fate.Edison got the telegraph operator position when he savedthree-year-old Jimmie MacKenzie from a runaway trainheading his way. Jimmie's father was the Mount Clemens,Michigan station agent J.U. MacKenzie and his gratitudefor saving his sons life was to train Edison as the new tele-graph operator. This was a job that started the innovativeand technical journey that would become the hallmark of

    his ingenious life.Thomas Edison had an extraordinary blended education

    of dual experimental and academic learning. But his deep-est gratitude was to his professional academic teacher withthese sentiments "My mother was the making of me. Shewas so true, so sure of me; and I felt I had something to livefor, someone I must not disappoint." And Thomas Edisonschildhood Fort Gratiot Depot was turned into The ThomasEdison Depot Museum that offers educational programs inelectricity, energy, communications and magnetism to PortHurons local children.
