"Nico" has a head in
his freezer a head
of cabbage that is. And its a
big one too. The whole plant
weighed 16.5 pounds and
was almost four feet wide
when harvested. Nico, a
fourth-grader. grew the
colossal cabbage over the
summer in the Bonnie Plants
Cabbage Program. Hes now
in the running for a $1,000
scholarship from Bonnie
Plants, a national plant
wholesaler, for the largest
cabbage grown in the
state.This was the sixth year
in which Sandshore has par-
ticipated in the cabbage pro-
gram, a popular student
activity that works to inspire
a love of vegetable garden-
ing and healthy eating in
children. It also provides
valuable life lessons about
You Need a Lot of Corned Beef for this Cabbage!
the importance of planning
and responsibility.
In May, Sandshore third-
graders each received a free
cabbage plant about four
inches tall from Bonnie
Plants. Armed with growing
instructions and encourage-
ment to track the growth of
the plants every day, the stu-
dents planted the seedlings
in gardens or large pots.
While Bonnie Plants sup-
plies a variety of cabbage
known for fortitude, tender
loving care was still
required. The plants had to
receive the optimal amount
of water, be kept free of
insects, and be protected
from hungry deer and other
wildlife. The cabbages were
harvested about three
months after planting.
The learning experience
taught students how to care
for a plant, a lost art today,
and showed them the value
of following a project
through, said third grade
teacher Kathleen James,
Nicos teacher last year.
And since the students
required help from adults, it
also provided an opportunity
for some quality family
time.
Many other Sandshore
students came into school
during the first week of the
new year with photos of their
cabbages and stories of cab-
bage rolls, cole slaw, stuffed
cabbage, and cabbage soup.

hrough the St. Jude Trike-A-Thon,
Mount Olive Recreation in partner-
ship with Bright Horizons of Budd
Lake raised $620 to support the research and
treatment of childhood cancer and other
deadly diseases. On Sunday, September 28th
as a portion of the Tour de Mount Olive kids
brought their tricycles and riding toys to
school where they raced around the track in
Flanders Park and participated in various
games.
This is the second year that the Tour de
Mount Olive has held the St. Jude Trike-A-
Thon program, said Laura Rimmer,
Marketing Director for Mount Olive
Recreation. We love to host the program
because it is a fun activity we can easily
incorporate into our existing safe cycling
programs. Not only did we teach our chil-
dren valuable safety lessons, we taught them
how they could help kids like them who are
battling cancer and other deadly diseases.
Tour de Mount Olive Raises $620.00 for St. Jude Childrens Research Hospital
Because no family is ever denied treat-
ment from St. Jude because of an inability to
pay, funds from public fundraisers such as
the St. Jude Trike-A-Thon help the hospi-
tals mission of finding cures and saving
children. Since its inception in 1983, the St.
Jude Trike-A-Thon program has raised more
than $87 million. For more information,

survival rates for childhood cancer from less
than 20 percent when the institution opened
to almost 80 percent today. It is the first and
only National Cancer Institute-designated

I
've been doing a lot of
consultations lately for
DIY homeowners that
just need a little help figuring
out which design direction to
take. Many of their ques-
tions are about how to dress
their windows. In this arti-
cle, I share seven designer
secrets to help you create
fabulous window fashions.
How do you know
whether to choose drapes or
shades? You need to decide
what mood you want to set in
the room. Draperies tend to
look and feel a bit more lux-
urious. Shades, on the other
hand, typically lend a more
casual look, their clean lines
are perfect for a family room,
kitchen or bedroom. Secret #
1 layer window treatments -
drapery panels layered over
woven wood shades, blinds
or Romans - for a truly cus-
tom look.
When it comes to drapery,
you have two options sta-
tionary or traverse. A station-
ary panel is a width or two of
pleated and lined fabric that
hangs from a decorative rod
and just frames the window.
Traversing drapes are those
made wide enough that they
will cover the entire window
when closed. The ready-
made panels you see at the
store are typically made for
decorative purposes only.
Secret #2 - if functional
drapes are called for, have
them custom made to fit your
window - putting multiple
ready- mades on a rod will
never look right, no matter
how you dress them.
At one time, large puddles
were considered a sign of
decadence and wealth.
Personally, puddles dont fit
the lifestyle of my busy
clients. They have children,
pets and cleaning services
that never dress the puddle
once theyre done cleaning
the floor and undressed pud-
dles just look sloppy. Secret
# 3 a slight break (like a
trouser break on pants) can
look just as luxurious as a
puddle, but without all the
fuss.
For drapes to look really
good, they need to be full.
Theres nothing worse than
skimpy window treatments.
Secret #4 To determine the
proper width you need,
measure your window width,
add 10 and multiply by 2
(3 for sheers).
Now for the things you
dont see. There are literally
dozens of lining fabrics from
which to choose; make sure
you know your options.
More and more ready-mades
are being offered with inter-
lininga very good thing.
Interlinings give the drapes
just the right amount of
weight so that they hang
nicely, provide better insula-
tion and light blockage.
Secret # 4 Interlining helps
extend the life of your
drapes.
You can hide a multitude
of problems with a proper
installation. Low ceilings?
Secret #5 mount the rod as
close to the ceiling as possi-
ble to give the illusion of
height to a room.
Need to hide a poor view?
Secret #6 Mount a sheer
panel and layer with drapery
panels or top treatments to
add color and texture while
diffusing the view.
About the Author - Debi
Pinelli, the owner of A&J
Interiors has been dressing
windows for over 20 years.

paint color, furniture, win-
dow treatments and acces-
sories can create a warm and
inviting home, the perfect
retreat from today's hectic
lifestyle.
Six Secrets
to Great Window Fashions
T
his is one of the new humanoid robots
for use in the "Humanoid Robotics
and Programming" course at Mount
Olive High School.
You may be familiar with the Star Wars
franchise and can identify beloved charac-
ters such as Luke Skywalker and R2D2, but
think for a moment of C3PO, the humanoid
protocol droid that Anakin Skywalker
rebuilds. Or if the Star Wars franchise does
not strike your fancy, think of the robots that
Will Smith comes face-to-face with in the
more recent film, I-Robot. It may seem like
the technology to create a "real" C3PO or
human-like droid might be far in the future,
but many of Mount Olive's students are get-
ting an opportunity to work on this technol-
ogy. Advances in robotic technology bring
our world closer to making certain aspects of
science fiction a reality.
The Humanoid Takeover: Making Science Fiction a Reality
Working with Mr. Grossi are Brooke
Speas and Ronald Cupitt.
Students in Mr. Tom Grossi's course,
"Humanoid Robotics and Programming" get
to experience the humanoid project from the
beginning. Mr. Grossi said, "Students use
software called Choreographe to program
the NAO robots." The course, which is a
year-long course in computer programming
and robotic technology, is open to all stu-
dents at Mount Olive High School, from
freshmen to seniors. Students will learn how
to program various features including the
ability for the robot to speak and respond to
commands. Mr. Grossi continued,
"Ultimately the students will learn how to
program the robot to do face recognition,
choreograph dances, and hopefully play soc-
cer."
Working in a team on their humanoid are
Connor Chinery, Tyson Bomsta, Jackson
Growe, Anthony Tran, and Ha-mil Hutty.
Jackson Growe, a freshman in the course,
said, "I like designing stuff and seeing how
technolgoy works."
Anthony Tran agreed and said he enjoys
the class, "Because I'm one of those people
who likes to code. I'm a thinker and a tinker."
Jacob Horton, who has been involved
with the Mount Olive Robotics Team, said,
"I like the class because it's original. It's a lit-
tle bit different from the other Robotics
classes."
While the class is predominately male,
there are quite a few MOHS females inter-
ested in STEM who have registered for the
class, including Brooke Speas and Stephanie
Berek. Stephanie is thoroughly enjoying the
course so far and said, "Mr. Grossi is awe-
some, and I like using new technology to
make these machines move."
Dr. Reynolds, Superintendent in Mount
Olive Township School District, and Mr.
Peter Hughes, Curriculum Supervisor for the
district, have been hoping to expand the
STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering,
and Math) program in Mount Olive School
District. The district recently adopted a
"Pathways to Excellence Strategic Plan" and
by adopting the STEM philosophy, the stu-
dents get to use all four aspects of STEM
together working towards a common goal.
Students get to apply all four parts of STEM
as they work on these humanoid robots.
The "Humanoid Robotics and
Programming" currently enrolls approxi-
mately 70 MOHS students.
The newly created STEM classroom pro-
vides the perfect place for student groups to
collaborate.

F
landers resident Millene Michel
knows what it's like to battle
against breast cancer, from the time
of diagnosis through the various treatment
options and recovery. For Millene, Studio
Director of Theater Dance Center, her
inspirational blog called "The Trials of a
Woman with Breast Cancer," has helped
her become a 2014 Industry Dance
Award's "Circle of Hope" recipient.
The "Circle of Hope" charity campaign
fund provides dancers who are currently
battling or who have survived breast can-
cer a chance to share their courageous
journey and inspire others to keep the hope
alive. Millene was one of eight total recip-
ients to receive this year's "Circle of Hope"
award. The award is specifically dedicated
to cancer survivors within the dance com-
munity who are working to create aware-
ness, save lives, raise money, and fight
cancer in any way possible.
For Millene, the life-altering news
came in the late summer of 2014, when it
was revealed that she had breast cancer. As
a long-time mentor to young teenagers and
a teacher to many, she began to reach out
to encourage other women to help them
understand the importance of prevention
and to be proactive in the fight against
breast cancer.
After starting dancing at the age of
Flanders Resident Receives Circle of Hope Award After
Blogging about Battle with Breast Cancer
three and being a professional dancer for
10 years, Millene opened the Theater
Dance Center in 1991 along with business
partner Mary Ellen Volz. Part of their busi-
ness includes running a competition team,
which began a benefit performance to take
a stand against cancer in 2010. Just one
month after the benefit was started,
Millene received her breast cancer diagno-
sis, followed by a double mastectomy in
2010 and chemotherapy treatment in early
2011.
From the time of her diagnosis through
the treatment and recovery phases, Millene
received lots of support from fellow
dancers, including her own students.
Ultimately, the dance team raised thou-
sands of dollars to help Millene with
health-related expenses.
Her dedication to stressing the impor-
tance of being proactive in terms of health
and starting a blog related to her experi-
ences battling cancer led Millene to earn
the award. She explained, "Being a breast
cancer survivor, I wanted to help other
women diagnosed with breast cancer,
whether it was through counseling, being a
shoulder to cry on, giving advice about my
experiences and sharing what it's like to go
through the process." Millene notes that
her constant work with teen girls was espe-
cially useful in reaching out to a younger
audience. "By having this experience, I am
able to turn it into a positive situation by
trying to influence other young women to
be proactive and maybe even avoid having
to undergo a mastectomy or chemotherapy
following a breast cancer diagnosis."
Although she could not attend the
awards ceremony held on September 10 in
Los Angeles, Millene was humbled to
share the honor with other standout cancer
survivors. Making the ceremony even
more noteworthy was the appearance of
Hollywood celebrities such as Paula
Abdul, Shane Harper and Olivia Holt.

ts back to school time with students fill-
ing all six public schools in Mt. Olive.
What a big change from 120 years ago
when a one room school house- still stand-
ing on Flanders-Drakestown Rd. in
Flanders- suited the communitys needs at
that time.
In celebration of New Jerseys 350th
Anniversary, the Mt. Olive Historical
Society was one of several towns through-
out the area participating in the Morris
County Pathways to History Tour of Morris
County this month. The tour was held Sat.,
Oct. 11, from 10 a.m. to p.m.; and Sunday,
Oct. 12, from 12 p.m. to 4 p.m.
In its fourth year, the free Pathways
History Tour showcased 20 northern his-
toric landmark sites throughout Morris
County. The tour, which began in 2010 with
five neighboring museums, has grown to
include 18 historic groups throughout the
area.
In Mt. Olive, tourists were invited to tour
The Mt. Olive Academy, an 1837 one room
MO One Room School House Showcases in History Tour
schoolhouse at the corner of Flanders-
Drakestown Rd. and Mt. Olive Rd. The his-
toric building, as well as the property it sits
on, was open to the public, with displays
and information on the school, church and
cemetery.
In 1893, there were 52 students between
the ages of five to 18 registered to attend the
Mt. Olive Academy, according to Kathy
Murphy of the Mt. Olive Historical Society.
Daily attendance, however, was usually in
the low 20s as Many days students had to
work on farms and could not attend daily,
she says.
The Academy was built in 1837 and
served as a school until 1926. The building
was later used by the church for Sunday
school until the 1970s.

N
ew to Sandshore Elementary School, but familiar to
those at Tinc Rd. School, one staff member jumped
from instructional supervisor to principal.
Nicole Musarra of Sparta has taken the reins as the new
principal of Sandshore School in Budd Lake. She replaces
Bob Allen, who quietly announced his retirement during the
last few days of school in June 2014 after serving as
Sandshore principal for the past seven years.
After working four years as instructional supervisor at
Tinc Rd. School, Musarra grabbed the opportunity to apply
for the principal spot that opened up. Out of 50 applicants,
Mussara, 36, was hired on July 29.
"This is what I always wanted to do," says Musarra.
"Working as instructional supervisor, this was the next step
for me. I love working with kids; I love working in the
school system. As principal I have a much greater influence
in my own building to influence students' success."
With Back To School Night come and gone, Musarra is
in her groove of getting to know the 373 students in grades
kindergarten through fifth, staff and teachers in her new role
as leader at Sandshore, the oldest elementary out of the four
elementary schools in the Mt. Olive School district.
"So far everything is going great," says Musarra. "I've
gotten a chance to know my students, my staff, my parents.
"I feel very fortunate to be in such a great school system.
I'm delighted to be here."
As the new principal, Musarra's goal "is to create an aca-
demically challenging environment that will result in a
rewarding school experience for our students," she says. "I
believe in setting ambitious goals for the students of Mt.
Olive through the implementation of high quality, effective
instructional practices."
In her new role, Musarra says "I like to be visible
throughout the school to ensure a safe, healthy and academ-
ically challenging environment. I enjoy being in class-
rooms and working with my teachers on a continual basis
towards the improvement of instruction that results in high
academic achievement. Most importantly though, I thor-
oughly enjoy working with children and influencing their
learning and success."
Mt. Olive Superintendent of Schools Dr. Larrie
Reynolds commends former principal Bob Allen for a job
well done and speaks highly of his replacement. "Bob Allen
served the Sandshore schooling community well," says
Reynolds. "His love of learning, passion for excellence, and
keen technology skills ,will be sorely missed in and around
the district."
Reyolds says Mussara was chosen to fill the Sandshore
vacancy "due to her solid record of accomplishment" as
instructional supervisor at Tinc Rd. School. "Nicole has
performed magnificently in her Mt. Olive tenure. She is a
proven educational leader with calm demeanor and steady
judgment. Her work ethic is beyond reproach and she
knows district system well. We believe her to be a one of
our most talented rising stars."
Before coming to the Mt. Olive School district, Musarra
spent more than eight years working in the Patterson school
district as a language arts teacher at the Paterson middle
school, and in staff development at Patterson Public School
#15 and the New Roberto Clemente School.
Musarra received her master's degree in Administration
and Supervision in 2006 from New Jersey City University
in Jersey City; and her bachelor's degree in Mass
Communications in 1999 from Susquehanna University in
Pa.

T
he laws of nature are
truly creative and the
migration and life
cycle of monarch butterflies
are a perfect example.
A Mount Olive teacher
and her students have created
such a tradition for nurturing,
and helping along, the life
cycle of these intriguing
insects that past and current
students alike will rally
around this celebration of
sorts each year at Chester M.
Stephens Elementary School
(CMS).
Dona Scheidecker, 4th
grade teacher at C.M.S.,
works with her students to
not only study the different
stages of the monarch butter-
fly each fall, but to protect
them from predators and cre-
ate habitats for them.
At insects.about.com, the
monarch migration is called
the longest repeat migration
in the insect world, and
some of the additional details
are quite a compelling sci-
ence (and history) lesson.
It mentions that the
monarch butterflies migrate
twice per year for about
3,000 miles, with monarchs
living east of the Rocky
Mountains in North America
flying south each fall, gather-
ing in central Mexico's
Oyamel fir forest for the win-
ter. Millions of monarchs
gather in the forest area, and
scientists are not sure how
the butterflies navigate to a
place they have never been to
before.
The monarch butterflies
that emerge from chrysalides
in late summer and early fall
differ from the previous gen-
erations. These migrant but-
Mt. Olive's School Project On Monarch Butterflies Scientific, Fun & Legendary
terflies appear the same but
behave quite differently, in
that they do not mate nor lay
eggs; they feed on nectar, and
cluster together during the
cool evenings to stay warm;
with their only purpose being
to prepare for and make the
flight south successfully,
with environmental factors
triggering the migration.
(Fewer hours of daylight,
cooler temperatures, and
diminishing food supplies let
the monarchs know that it is
time to go south.)
Then in March, these
same butterflies that went
south will return north. The
migrants fly to the southern
U.S., where they mate and
lay eggs, and their descen-
dants will continue the
migration north. In the
northernmost part of the
Monarch's range, it may be
the great grandchildren of the
migrants that finish the trip.
Scheideckers classes
understand this intricate
process and help the mon-
archs with their life cycles
and migration.
CMS Principal Kevin
Moore praised Scheidecker
for her efforts and inspiration
toward students.
He said, "Mrs.
Scheidecker is a valued
member of our fourth grade
team here at CMS. Her
monarch butterfly project is
both educational and engag-
ing for our fourth grade stu-
dents and the release ceremo-
ny is something our entire
school enjoys.
Surely, it is quite a leg-
endary event nowadays.
Scheidecker said her
whole September science
lesson involves the monarch.
Its like a tradition here at
CMS, added Scheidecker.
"I love it. The kids love
it," said Scheidecker, adding
that this year they released 32
in all.
She added that former stu-
dents come back and they
ask her if she is still doing the
monarch butterfly program.
Scheidecker and her students
certainly are, and they are
planting milkweed to create
habitats, and also try to bring
the eggs indoors they have
a better chance of surviving,
she said. They can then be
safe from predators, such as
spiders, ants and wasps and
weather is also a factor.
Scheidecker also does her
best (and teaches her students
to do the same) to grow milk-
weed, which monarchs feed
on. She said last spring, they
planted milkweed at
Memory Garden at Turkey
Brook Park in Mount Olive.
The town has been won-
derful, she said. Providing
the land, the mulch.
At http://www.monarch-
butterfly.com/ it explains
other details behind the
monarch life cycle.
It notes that eggs are laid
on milkweed plants in March
and April. They hatch into
larvae (baby caterpillars),
and then the larvae eat milk-
weed in order to grow, and
soon attach themselves to a
plant and begin the process
continued on next page
of metamorphosis. They
attach themselves using silk
and transform into a
chrysalis. Within the 10-day
chrysalis process, the body
parts of the caterpillar go
through a metamorphosis, to
become the parts of a butter-
fly. The monarch butterfly
will emerge from the pupa
and fly away, feeding on
flowers and living only about
two to six weeks. This first
generation monarch butterfly
will then die after laying eggs
for generation number two.
The second generation of
monarch butterflies is born in
late spring and early summer,
and then the third generation
will be born in July and
August. These butterflies
will go through the same
stages as the first generation
did, and will live only two to
six weeks after they become
a butterfly.
The fourth generation of
monarch butterflies is a bit
different. The fourth genera-
tion is born in September and
October and goes through the
same process, but does not
die after two to six weeks.
Instead, this generation
migrates to Mexico and
California (warmer climates)
and will live six to eight
months.
Scheidecker said that
monarch butterflies are
unfortunately heading
toward possibly being an
endangered species.
But, since this is the 11th
year of her monarch butterfly
project, her and her students
are doing some great work to
preserve their legacy. It is
working too, because her for-
mer students literally spread
the word about the program.
And each year,
Scheideckers students learn
the important factors of the
biology, habitat, migration,
and conservation of the
monarch butterfly.
This was a great celebra-
tion, she said, speaking
about this years event.
And they know it is
important to continue to
plant milkweed the host
plant for the eggs. There is,
after all, a lack of milkweed
in the U.S., which has come
to the attention of the federal
government, in fact.
Roadside mowing ruins
its habitat, Scheidecker said,
adding that her classes are
proactive in responding to
this dilemma, of course,
when they plant milkweed.
Also, in Mexico, they are
cutting the forestland to earn
money in the logging indus-
try, and since monarchs
migrate to Mexico, this, of
course, is causing the popula-
tion to start sinking more and
more since the habitat is dis-
appearing.
But when Scheideckers
class found some eggs in the
school garden this year, how-
ever, they knew it was a great
success; very encouraging
indeed.
So this was a very good
season, she said.
We honor Scheidecker
and her students for their
important work each year.
Their annual project is such
an interesting and significant
endeavor, and they deserve
great credit for this.

T
he new 911 Memorial site at Turkey
Brook Park in Budd Lake was com-
pleted just in time for this year's local
service.
The monument was delivered and set on
Sept. 9, followed by mulch and clean up on
Sept. 10, just one day before the first official
memorial ceremony at the new site. More
than 50 people gathered at the new 911
Memorial at Turkey Brook Park on Thurs.,
Sept. 11, at 8:30 a.m. for a 45 minute service
and dedication.
Mt. Olive Twp. Mayor Rob Greenbaum,
joined local council members, Morris
County Freeholder David Scapicchio,
Assemblywoman Alison McHose, as well as
police, fire, emergency workers and reli-
gious leaders at the local service.
For the past ten years the town had been
hosting annual memorials at the Mt. Olive
Township Municipal Building to remember
the Sept. 11, 2001 attack, but with the new
memorial erected, residents now have a
meaningful destination to reflect on the hor-
rific events that occurred that day.
"It's outstanding; it's breathtaking," says
Councilman Ray Perkins, organizer of the
memorial. "It helps people reflect." The
monument, made out of jet polished granite,
encompasses visuals of the three areas
attacked that day, the Twin Towers, the
Pentagon and Shanksville field in Pa., where
United Airlines Flight 93 crashed. On that
flight was Mt. Olive resident
Hilda Marcin, a retired Tinc Road School
special education aid.
The monument includes separate plaques
to recognize Hilda Marcin, as well as the
police, fire and emergency service workers
who helped out that day.
Perkins had approached township offi-
cials with his idea for a separate memorial to
recognize 911 after he sensed a decline in
society's recognition or remembering that
scary day when thousands of innocent
Americans lost their lives.
"As a community, we should be there to
remember," says Perkins, a Vietnam War
combat veteran. "Our community, after 911,
everyone flew an American flag. We were
very patriotic and joined together. As years
went by, some stopped going to memorials.
As a nation, we should never forget that
these 3,000 lives were lost on that somber
day."
Perkins, a MO councilman for the past 13
years, was working in New York City on
Sept. 11, 2001, when terrorists hijacked two
American planes and crashed them into the
two Twin Towers at the World Trade Center.
"It was a traumatic day for me," describes
Local 911 Memorial Completed For Annual Service
Perkins. "I was a block and a half away."
But as years have gone by, "people
stopped flying the flags; it was just a memo-
ry," said Perkins. "I said it's time to sit
down," plan a local memorial, get support
from local officials, "and now it became a
reality."
On Feb. 5, 2013, the Mt. Olive Twp.
Council passed a resolution to approve
$25,000 from the town budget to fund the
new 911 Memorial. Perkins had accepted
some donations for the project, but when
donations fell short he had to modify his
original monument design plans which
would have cost more than $60,000.
The 911 Memorial is situated at the front
entrance of Turkey Brook Park. "It's right
there where the loop walkway goes around
the park," says Perkins. "It's the first thing
you see." There is a bench that sits in front
of the memorial for visitors to relax and
reflect.

W
ell into the second month of
school, students and staff return
to a new school year sprinkled
with some refreshing changes.
Higher test scores, a new lighted turf
field, a more demanding state assessment,
fresh school leaders and advanced tech-
nology are just some highlights for the
new 2014/2015 school year at Mt. Olive
Schools.
One of the greatest changes academi-
cally is regarding the state-wide student
achievement test.
The new school term will usher in a
new era for student achievement, says
Mt. Olive Superintendent of Schools Dr.
Larrie Reynolds in a letter to his staff.
Gone is the NJASK, and its replacement
is Partnership for Assessments of
Readiness for College and Careers
(PARCC), a new assessment being imple-
mented by all schools in New Jersey to
students in grades third through eleventh.
Reynolds explains that the new assess-
ment protocol was developed to measure
student academic progress against the
Common Core State Standards. While
previous versions of the NJASK were
adapted to reflect Common Core require-
ments, the PARCC will demand even more
from our students.
With the new PARCC testing, the per-
formance standard for proficiency will be
higher and the format will be much dif-
ferent. A more comprehensive end of
year assessment will be administered in
May along with a new open-ended per-
formance task section to assess creative
and practical arts. Another change will be
the format used in completing the assess-
ment as tests will be taken via online with
some sections requiring word processed
responses.
Student results on the PARCC assess-
ments are expected a lot sooner than the
former NJASK test, with scores to be
reported by the end of the school year,
says Reynolds.
In addition to the state assessment, the
district is being introduced to several new
initiatives this year as well as personnel.
Some of the newly filled positions
include two new elementary school princi-
pals at Chester M. Stephens and
Sandshore schools; the return of the for-
mer principal of the Mt. Olive Middle
School, Dr. Tracey Severns, to serve as
Mt. Olive Schools Start Year With New Test, Leaders,
Initiatives and Facility Upgrades
district as director of student performance
after working as Chief Academic Officer
for the NJ Department of Education; a
new instructional supervisor at Tinc Rd.
Elementary School; and a technology inte-
gration specialist at the MOMS and high
school to help faculty and staff understand
the use of new technologies.
In regards to technology, Mt. Olive has
implemented new Science Technology
Engineering Math (STEM) initiatives.
Some of these initiatives include a new
robotics course at the high school featur-
ing the innovative NAO Humanoid
Robots in a specially designed laboratory;
Brain Game, a new SOLE (Student
Organized Learning Organization) project
to advance the cause of STEM through
thought-provoking questions and innova-
tive uses of technology; and Drones and
Flying Machines to be used in several sci-
ence and technology classes.
The district will provide all students in
grades eight through ten a computer.
Eighth grade students will use the newly
re-designed Amplify Intel tablets (and
keyboards); ninth and tenth graders will
use Chrome-books, for note-taking and to
emphasize the use of Google Applications.
Some software upgrades are in place
such as success to Accelus and Dreambox
programs, in addition to Compass and
MindPlay, for the upcoming year. Accelus
is an artful video-based program to pro-
vide personalized support to special edu-
cators and intervention programs;
DreamBox offers students a video game-
like format for math remediation and rein-
forcement.
Camtasia screencasting software will
also be available district-wide to allow
teachers to create videos and flip their
classes.
The PowerSchool Grading System,
which has been available to students in
grades six through 12, will be expanded to
include students in grades three through
five. Through this resource, students and
parents can keep track of students grades
online.
There have also been a number of
upgrades to the facilities.
CMS was upgraded with new flooring
throughout and new windows in the older
sections of the school; Tinc Road got its
leaky roof replaced with a new roof;
Sandshore received a new, modern boiler;
MOMS had its athletic field upgraded to
artificial turf with lights for evening games
and practices; MOHS is enjoying its new
STEM laboratory, foods classroom renova-
tions, a new roof over the older sections of
the structure, new windows expected later
this fall, and a new football playing surface
and track to be installed throughout the
year in time for spring sports.
All the schools have upgrades its food
service to Maschios Food Service, a com-
pany that is providing the healthiest, tasti-
est selections for breakfast and lunch to
the students.
The district will install a portable LED
lighting curtain for the fine arts depart-
ment to provide new, exciting texture to
our performances and public performanc-
es as well as offer our students an addi-
tional source of vocational training in the
area of theater production, says
Reynolds.
The MOHS video department was
upgraded with more powerful digital
audio and video recording and editing
equipment. The new devices should
greatly enhance the amazingly productive
program and further enhance the MOHS
reputation for quality vocational training
with its MOTV program, he concludes.

R
ed DOT Firearms is happy to
announce its Two Year Anniversary!
This has been an exciting couple of
years for us and the firearms industry.
When we opened our doors a two years ago,
we did so with the intent to build a commu-
nity where anyone who has an interest in
firearms for hunting, personal protection,
collecting or sport shooting can come to
share their stories, learn about gun safety,
find the newest products, etc. and we look
forward to advancing this philosophy in the
coming year.
SAFETY FIRST! With the increase in
first-time firearms purchasers, we now offer
NRA Certified training courses to ensure
Red DOT Firearms of Stanhope Celebrates Two Year Anniversary
safe and responsible firearms ownership.
Along with the safety classes, we offer the
Utah Non-Resident conceal carry classes
through Gun For Hire out of Woodland
Park, NJ. As many people have experi-
enced, obtaining a conceal carry permit for
the Garden State is near impossible. With
the Utah Non-Resident permit, you are
allowed to fully exercise your Second
Amendment right to protect yourself and
your family when traveling in 31 other
states.
See our web site for class schedules:
www.red-dot-firearms.com
Firearms ownership in NJ is on the rise.
In 2011, New Jersey posted a record 60,256
National Instant Criminal Background
Checks (NICS). In 2012, a new record was
set at 85,851 and from January through
October of 2013, New Jersey recorded
100,922 NICS checks, far surpassing record
setting numbers of the past. This increase in
firearm purchases is not restricted to men
only. Twenty-five percent of our business
is catering to females, states owner Jim
Hawthorne, Women love to shoot!
For those of you who are new to the
industry and wish to obtain a pistol permit,
most of the forms can be downloaded from
Red DOTs web site. The forms will then
need to submit to your local Police
Department or NJ State Police barracks.
Wed like to say thank you to our cus-
tomers for making our first year so success-
ful. We have had the opportunity to meet a
lot of really great people who are our cus-
tomers and now our friends. Thank you, to
all of you for your support and thank you to
the town of Stanhope.

W
ith final artistic touches recently
completed, Mount Playmore at
Turkey Brook has become the
local hub for relaxing on a swing or cruising
down a slide.
Almost a year after planning stages began,
the towns newest playground was officially
completed on Wed., Sept. 17, with its last
touches of paint and finest details. From
administration, to recreation, community
input and students creative minds, Mt.
Playmore has been designed to encourage
physical activity and hours of playtime fun
for the towns youth.
Those who swing by can not help to feel
proud of the finished product.
Mt. Playmore is without question a mag-
nificent play space that will inspire imagina-
tions, engage children in healthy activity and
create friendships amongst children now and
for many years to come, says Jill Daggon,
recreation supervisor.
It has been a phenomenal success; I often
go by as does the mayor and other municipal
officials; we receive tremendous response
from the parents and children that use it,
says Sean Canning, Mt. Olive Twp. Business
administrator. Turkey Brook Park is the
main street for Mt. Olive and our efforts there
are no different than street scaping costs and
improvements in other smaller municipalities
that are more dense than Mt Olive.
For Mt. Olive, a slamming playground
was high on the list, rather than fancy cobble-
stone walkways or gas lights, like other tradi-
tional towns may invest in.
Mount Playmore began with a vision
from Mt. Olive Mayor Rob Greenbaum to
build a village within our largest town park,
Turkey Brook Park, explains Daggon. A
team of staff members formed a Planning
Committee in Nov. 2013 to develop the pro-
jects concept, to design, build and beautify
with the understanding that the purpose
behind the project was to involve the commu-
nity in every step of the project.
After the old playground was removed in
January, grading and construction were done
from March through the end of June, with
hopes to finish the project by the summer of
2014.
It was a tight timeline for such a large
undertaking but the excitement around the
project and the knowledge that the completed
project would be a source of pride for our
township for years to come kept everyone
motivated, says Daggon.
Planning the playground was a group
effort among the towns departments.
Administration served as Project
Management; Parks, Buildings & Grounds
along with the Department of Public Works
chaired the Building and Construction;
Children Play More in MO At Mt. Playmore
Recreation chaired the Fundraising, Public
Relations, and Volunteer committees. Each
Committee then oversaw smaller sub-com-
mittees including Art, Plantings, Tools, and
School/Childrens committee.
Choosing a name for the new playground
provided an opportunity to engage the public.
Suggestions were gathered through Facebook
followed by a vote of the top four names
through social media.
The idea behind the name was to focus
on encouraging physical activity in a fun and
engaging format, explains Daggon. Mt.
Playmore was chosen as an excellent combi-
nation of Mt. Olive and our intent to have all
our area children play more.
Design Day followed to gather ideas for a
new dream playground. All elementary and
middle school aged children in the Mt. Olive
School District received a design submission
sheet. More than 200 parents and their chil-
dren came to participate in Design Day and
contribute their ideas for Mt. Playmore.
It was quickly determined that Mt.
Playmore needed a castle, a dragon to protect
that castle, four towers themed with the sea-
sons we see here in Mt. Olive, a pirate ship to
represent our school mascot, the Marauder,
lots of slides, a tire swing and a boat in the Tot
Lot and a bridge to represent Budd Lake,
says Daggon.
During the final phase of beautification,
the volunteer Art Committee worked diligent-
ly for weeks to incorporate those themes into
the specific areas of the playground.
Each of the four towers have painted bor-
ders that represent the four seasons, the pirate
ship has waves, a dolphin, starfish, a treasure
chest, fish, a pirate, a ships wheel, and a
dragon flying around the castle to protect it.
The castle wall was painted to mimic the look
of the rocks on historic Seward Mansion also
located in Turkey Brook Park; and a civics
lesson into the playground creating coat-of-
arms for each of the departments in the town
government to hang on the castle walls.
Planners also adhered to suggestions from
parents who requested bench seating at the tot
lots; visibility throughout the playground to
safely monitor their children; rubberized tile
surfacing throughout the playground; fully
fenced in with only one entry/exit point for
safety; and accessible ramps, cochlear slide
specifically for children with implants, activ-
ity boards at wheelchair accessible levels and
therapeutic swings as suggested by families
of children with special needs.
The project, which was funded through a
bonding ordinance, reached a total net cost of
$574,000, according to Canning. The bond-
ing ordinance funded through the Mt. Olive
Twp. Budget is a 15-year commitment and
only counts five percent against current
funds, he explains.
So this years cost was only about
$30,000 out of a $28 million budget, says
Canning.
To offset the funding efforts, recreation
has encouraged community participation and
fundraising. With a goal set to raise $100,000,
recreation so far has raised about $26,000,
says Canning.
Some fundraising efforts included a
Swim-a-thon by the Mt. Olive High School
Swim Team; the Mt. Olive Kiwanis shared
their proceeds from their Santa Breakfast; Mt.
Olive Middle School Gifted & Talented stu-
dents ran a school fundraiser; Mt. Olive
Exercise held an Aerobathon; contributions
from area businesses, like Weis Markets,
Sams Club, Patchland Communications,
Morris Habitat for Humanity, Lowes, Home
Depot, Courtyard by Marriott Mt. Arlington
and Amish Mikes; as well as groups such as
Mt. Olive Chamber of Commerce, MOMS
Club of Mt. Olive and the Goddard School.
This project was very much a communi-
ty involvement project from start to finish,
says Daggon. Without the inspiration and
support of Mt. Olive Township
Administration; Parks, Buildings & Grounds
and Recreation and the generous donations
both financially, in kind and through volun-
teer hours of our contributing businesses and
families we could not have brought this
dream playground to life.
To continue to raise funds, recreation is
still selling pickets surrounding the play-
ground. For $50, pickets can be engraved
with family names; each picket is limited to
18 spaces/letters. To sponsor a picket, visit
www.mountolivetownship.com/recreation.ht
ml and choose Sponsor a Picket from the
menu on the right.
One of our favorite areas in the play-
ground is a small covered gazebo seating area
built in memory of Ryan McConnell whose
life was cut tragically short at the age of 9 and
whose family continues to be very involved
in the town, says Daggon.
Use of the playground has been restricted
to children ages five through 12, and a tot lot
area for those younger.
Demographically that is the audience for
almost all playgrounds in the United States
until you get to the larger fun parks such as
Great Adventure, etc, explains Canning.

M
ethods, curriculum, technology
and faces have changed, but no
matter how many years pass by
the close family relationship linked at Tinc
Road Elementary School will never be bro-
ken.
Founded in 1974, Tinc Road School in
Flanders is ringing in 40 years since it was
founded as the third elementary school in
the Mt. Olive District. Teachers and staff,
current and past, gathered at the school on
Sat., Sept. 20, at 11 a.m. to reunite with for-
mer co-workers and tour the halls.
As principal of the school for the past 20
years, Dr. Richard Fair suggested, for the
first time since he has led the facility, that a
celebration be organized to recognize the
schools milestone.
I thought it would be nice to invite back
all of those who have contributed to the fine
reputation of Tinc Road School to see the
changes as well as reunite with old friends,
says Fair. I am proud to be a part of the his-
tory of Tinc Road School and sincerely
believe that we have served the Mt. Olive
community well in providing a top quality
educational program to our students
throughout our 40 years.
Recognition of the schools anniversary
started in Jan. 2014 when staff attended a
40th Birthday party. Fair suggested that the
big celebration be held off until Sept. when
the Parent Teacher Organization (PTO)
organizes its annual Fall Festival for the
school community.
A committee to plan the schools
anniversary celebration was formed earlier
this year. More than 200 invitations were
mailed out during the summer.
We invited everyone who has worked at
the school, says Lorraine Paglia, teachers
assistant who has worked at Tinc for the
past 28 years.
About 75 people attended the two hour
celebration including the schools first and
founding principal Richard Wenner, the
only other principal other than Fair to run
the school. Original instructional supervi-
sors, staff members, administrators, past
nurses, as well as current teachers and staff
members returned for the milestone event.
Committee planners created picture
boards from the present and past and dis-
played them throughout the school. One
picture board was in memory of Mt. Olive
resident Hilda Marcin, a retired Tinc Road
School special education aid who was killed
during 911 when the airplane she was on,
United Airlines Flight 93, crashed in
Shanksville field in Pa.
The cafeteria was decorated with forties
tablecloths and there was even a cake deco-
rated with a picture of the original Tinc Rd.
School.
We did a lot of decorations inside and
outside, says Paglia, one of the anniversary
committee members.
To honor the two principals, organizers
presented Fair and Wenner with a celebra-
tion beverage glass stating Cheers to
Forty. Staff members mentioned how iron-
ic it is that the only two principals of Tinc
not only share the same first name
Richard but they also share the same
birthday of May 21.
Attendees got to tour the school to see all
the changes and improvements.
Outside, meanwhile, the PTO held its
annual fall festival from noon to 3 p.m.,
around the playground and field, as a wel-
come back for families to enjoy food, hay
rides, picture booths, face painting, music,
dunk tank and chucking the pumpkin con-
tests.
With currently 462 students, 43 teachers
and 34 staff, Tinc Rd. School once accom-
modated more than 700 students.
I can tell you the original capacity of
the school was 540 persons, says Fair.
Over the years it has risen to well over 700
with the trailers outback prior to CMS
becoming a middle school. We have since
stabilized in the high 400s.
Tinc used to be kindergarten through
sixth, but when the new middle school was
built and CMS was turned into a fourth ele-
mentary school, Tinc dropped the sixth
grade.
The playground grew in size from a pri-
vate donation and PTO contributions.
Technology and demographics are some of
the greatest changes at Tinc.
The greatest challenge has been to keep
up with the changes in technology both in
cost and staff development, how to use it,
says Fair.
We have a lot of technology here, says
Melissa Kolenski, new instructional super-
visor at Tinc. We have websites; some
classes are blogging. We are emailing par-
ents; we are typing essays, narratives and
story writing.
Besides technology changing, Fair says
Another challenge has been to learn to
adapt to the changing American household
in terms of the social make-up as well as the
diversity of our population and the students
from different lands and cultures that we
now educate, he says.
One accomplishment is Tinc being
named Top Ten Performing School in 2011
for elementary schools in Morris County.
I think our greatest accomplishments lie
in our ability to continually build upon and
work with our community, says Fair. We
started our own PTO 17 years ago in effort
to provide focused support to our school
and its programs. Our parent community
has been fantastic in their efforts to help us
make Tinc Road School the kind of place
you love to call your child's school.
Tinc Rd. School Family Celebrates Big 40
Tinc received a new roof this summer; a
fairly new garden grows in the back; new
carpet and repainted teachers room and
library; as well as more advanced curricu-
lum featuring more technology such as
smart boards, Elmo, 2:1 ratio for laptops,
Raz for kids, Compass Learning, Sizzles
program, reading partners program and
Stars.
A memorable time was had by those who
attended the anniversary celebration.
It was just a really good time to catch
up, socializing and seeing the boards; just
reminiscing, says Kathy Diefes, third
grade teacher working at Tinc for the past
25 years.
Paglia says, Weve always been a fami-
ly; thats what everyone felt when we came
back. They loved seeing each other. We
have so many former staff members who
come back during retirement parties.
Staff members agree that they have
extended their stay at Tinc Rd. School
because of the wonderful people and envi-
ronment they work in.
I love it here, says Diefes, who has
taught first, second and third grades at the
school. Not one day do I say I dont want
to come to work. I work for the best two
bosses ever. Theyve respected me and
allow me to do my job. They always have
my back which gives me the confidence.
We are truly a family. I feel safe and secure
and happy here and I dont want to work
anywhere else. The kids are my kids.
Paglia agrees, You want to come to
work every day; you are excited to come.
Throughout the years the children have
touched my heart in so many ways just
watching them grow. You are happy when
they are happy. Our two principals were just
wonderful. Even through sadness and ill-
ness we stick together. We make meals for
each other when one is sick.
I can retire now, says Paglia, But I
love my job so much I cannot see myself
not coming to work every day. We just
laugh when we are at lunch; you should be
in the teachers room.
MaryAnn Kopas, teachers assistant for
the past 17 years, commented on the close
bond between teachers and staff. The sen-
timent is so strong and the bond of all the
people that have worked in the school; life-
long friendships that have supported us in
times of sadness; love of children, helping
children, being part of their lives and
working for a staff thats incredible. I
choose to stay because I enjoy it.
They all agree that the fun times are key
in keeping them at Tinc.
Teachers who retire here put their
names on the sub list, says Diefes, and
former staff members who stay in the dis-
trict to teach at another school often return
to Tinc.
Fair has stayed for two decades for sim-
ilar reasons.
I have had opportunities to move on to
the superintendency in other districts but
realized that what I have been able to
accomplish here with dedicated teachers
and caring parents has more than served
my personal goal in life of trying to make
a difference in the lives of our students,
says Fair.
Being principal of Tinc Road School is
my proudest professional accomplish-
ment, continues Fair. I still look forward
every day to trying to improve upon what
we already do well and continue to seek
new avenues of ways to do things better in
any area of which we may have concern.
As for the future, What lies ahead for
Tinc is the challenge to continue the tradi-
tion of excellence at a time when our
world, including national issues such as
Common Core and PARCC tests are mov-
ing forward in shaping today's educational
landscape, says Fair. That accompanied
with our challenging world and doing our
best to protect the innocence our students
deserve to grow up in a happy and safe
place.
Big 40...
J
ewel Crawford Ajibade, Linda Carey
and Priscilla Dzurich Ribera are just
three of the estimated 173,000 women
in the United States who are living with
metastatic breast cancer. Managing an
incurable disease is challenging for them,
but each takes a unique approach to living
with the condition.
There is no right way to battle metasta-
tic breast cancerjust your way, says
Ajibade, who was diagnosed with metastat-
ic breast cancer (the most advanced stage)
in 2006 and lost her mother to the disease.
Since her diagnosis, Ajibade has become
an advocate for women living with metasta-
tic breast cancer through Living Beyond
Breast Cancer (LBBC) and a passionate
believer in the power of sharing ones
storya method that has helped her cope
with her own reality.
I have connected with stories from sev-
eral women throughout my journey, and I
want to share that sense of community with
others, says Ajibade. You never know
how many lives youll impact by speaking
up.
To help create awareness of metastatic
breast cancer, Ajibade is encouraging
women to participate in the nationwide
#MBCStrength photo-sharing cam-
paign. Women with metastatic breast
cancer can post their photos on
Twitter using the hashtag
#MBCStrength to illustrate the
word that unites each of them
in their journey: strength.
Photos posted on Twitter
with #MBCStrength will
be considered for a dis-
play inTimes Square on
October 13, 2014,
Metastatic Breast Cancer
Awareness Day.
People often wonder
what its like to live with
metastatic breast cancer. By
participating in this cam-
paign, we have the opportu-
nity to showcase not just our
challenges but also the love
and support that guide us through our jour-
neys, says Ajibade.
Ajibades personal account is also fea-
tured at www.MyMBCStory.com, an educa-
tional website tailored for women with
metastatic breast cancer developed by
AstraZeneca with input from breast
cancer advocacy organizations
LBBC and Metastatic Breast
Cancer Network. Her story is
featured alongside that of
Carey, who draws strength
from expression through art
and involvement in The Tutu
Project, and Dzurich Ribera,
whose personal source of
inspiration is her family.
Its important to not
hold in your feelings. You
have to find some avenue
to express them, says
Carey, who was diag-
nosed with metastatic
breast cancer in 2006.
Carey and her husband,
Bob, created The Tutu
Projecta collection of
photos in which he wears a pink tutuas a
form of self-therapy. The project has res-
onated with many people around the globe
and, 11 years later, the couple continues to
raise funds for women with breast cancer
and receive expressions of gratitude for the
laughter their photos bring.
Following her metastatic breast cancer
diagnosis, Dzurich Ribera feared that others
would define her by her condition. While
having her blood drawn one day, she shared
this concern with another woman in treat-
ment at the facility.
I was desperately looking for a role
modelsomeone who was doing well in
spite of living with metastatic breast can-
cer, says Dzurich Ribera. I shared that
feeling with her and she replied, You have
to be your own positive story. I know she
was right and, through the ups and downs,
that has always stuck with me.
Ajibade, Carey and Dzurich Ribera are
connected in their determination to help
redefine what it means to live with metasta-
tic breast cancer. Having helped many
women through her advocacy work,
Ajibade advises, Each person living with
metastatic breast cancer will find her own
methods of coping, but one of the first steps
we can take in this journey is to open up and
share our stories.

Come In For Your
Pink Extensions for fhe Cure!
100% of the profits from The Pink Extention For The Cure
go to The Susan G. Komen of North Jersey.
O
ctober is Breast Cancer Awareness
month. Alfonso's Salon for the
fourth year in a row is joining the
fight to defeat breast cancer, the second
leading cancer killer of women. The salon
is offering pink hair extensions to com-
memorate the cause. The extensions are
available in a shade of bright pink for $12
each and in order to eliminate any bank
fees cash is required. . 100% of donations
and profits for this fundraiser will benefit
the Susan G. Komen for the Cure.
"We are proud to help where we can to
raise funds to assist research, increase
awareness and promote screenings," says
Alfonso Merola, owner/stylist of
Alfonso's Salon at Sutton Plaza. "Breast
Cancer affects so many families. I have
seen it touch the lives of many of my
clients, and happily count many as suc-
cessful survivors of this disease, because
of early detection. Many of the people who
come in for pink extensions all have their
own personal story , either of being a sur-
vivor, or in memory
of a friend or family member that didn't
survive this horrible disease. Then there is
the young girls who saved their change in
a box, to get extensions and the rest of the
change they donated, and the little girl who
not only got an extension, but also donated
10 inches of her hair. They all touch my
heart, and encourage me to keep fundrais-
ing till a cure is found."
The non-permanent extensions are a
simple process and it only takes minutes to
apply, Alfonso reports. "We compress the
pink extension into the hair without caus-
ing any harm to the client's own hair. They
look great on women of all ages, from kids
to seniors, with some customers getting
two or three at a time. To get the longest
lasting wear, come in with shampood and
dried hair. Use a clarifying shampoo to get
any heavy buildup off the root area, do not
condition root area. They can be easily cut
to any length the client wants and will stay
in as long as a moisturizing shampoo or
conditioner is not used on the root area.
Alfonso is particularly excited about
working with groups for this worthy
fundraiser. Last year he was invited to
Morristown Medical Center to apply
extensions to staff during the shift change
October is Pink Extensions for the Cure
100% of Profits Go to the Susan G. Komen for the cure
outside the cafeteria, and will be there
again on Monday Oct. 20th from 11:00 am
to 6:30 pm. Check out our facebook page
for pictures.
Cheerleaders and sports groups from
the local high schools have also come in as
a team to show their support. It's a
fundraiser and a team building exercise all
in one.
The salon will gladly accept any dona-
tion even if customers don't want to take
advantage of the hair extension services. A
jar will be available at the front desk to
anyone wishing to help the fight for a cure.
Donation jars can also be found at
Valentino's Pizzeria, Verizon Wireless
store, Wine Rack, Flanders Cleaners,
Flanders Bagels, and Mandrin Village, all
located in the mall.
In business for 30 years, Alfonso's in a
full service salon, specializing in complete
hair services such as extensions, color,
cuts, styling, and specialized smoothing
systems such as Keratin Straightening
System and Keratin Express as well as
perms and conditioning treatments.

are also provided. Hair extensions come in
many varied colors and are done all year
round.

devoted his time to the betterment of the
hair industry. He has done shows and
demonstrations throughout New Jersey,
has taught classes in N.Y.C, Boston,

T
he symptoms women feel when suf-
fering a heart attack are often differ-
ent than those exhibited by men.
According to Jeanette Yuen, M.D., a cardi-
ologist at New York's White Plains
Hospital, women's heart attack symptoms
can be so mild that women may mistakenly
believe they are suffering from a more
innocuous medical issue, such as acid
reflux or even the flu. But symptoms such
as nausea, cold sweats and radiating pain in
the stomach are recognized by the
American Heart Association as possible
indicators of a heart attack in women, and
these signs should not be written off as
signs of a cold or stomach ailment, as
women are at risk of heart disease and heart
attack despite the misconception that such
ailments are exclusive to men. Women at
risk for heart disease and heart attack
include those with a family history of heart
disease; female smokers; female diabetics;
women with high cholesterol and/or high
blood pressure; and women who are post-
menopausal, physically inactive orover-
weight. Women, particularly those over 50,
who begin to feel physical discomfort in
their chest or any of the aforementioned
symptoms should consult their physicians
immediately.

C
omfort food is a staple in every
kitchen its the perfect way to
unwind with familiar flavors and
aromas. But those moments that call for a
soul-soothing dish are also great opportuni-
ties to spice up traditional favorites by intro-
ducing less common ingredients and prepa-
ration methods for an unexpectedly deli-
cious twist.
Stewing, for example, is one method you
might never have tried but, when you use
a tender meat thats full of comforting fla-
vor like pork, the result is well worth the
adventure. Making a stew usually involves
browning meat, adding liquid, simmering
for a few hours and then adding vegetables
easy, proven steps that let you explore dif-
ferent ingredient combinations to keep dish-
es fresh and inviting.
Need inspiration to get started? Try
Spanish Pork and Fennel Stew with Saffron
Rice. This hearty recipe uses a blade pork
roast, simple seasonings and vegetables. To
change it up, serve the stew with mashed
potatoes instead of rice for soaking up the
juices.

Mouthwatering Pork Stew
1 large yellow onion, chopped
1 large red bell pepper, seeded and cut into
1/2-inch pieces
6 cloves garlic, minced
1/2 cup dry sherry or apple juice
Chopped fresh cilantro
Saffron rice:
2 cups long-grain white rice
1 teaspoon kosher salt
1/2 teaspoon crushed saffron threads
For stew, heat 2 tablespoons oil in large
Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Season
pork with 1 1/2 teaspoons salt and 1/2 tea-
spoon pepper. In batches, without crowding
(and adding more oil as needed) add pork
and cook, turning occasionally, until
browned on all sides, about 6 minutes per
batch. Transfer to plate.
Add remaining 2 tablespoons oil to
Dutch oven and heat. Add fennel, onion,
bell pepper and garlic; cover. Cook, stirring
occasionally with wooden spoon, until veg-
etables soften, about 8 minutes. Add sherry;
bring to a boil. Return pork with any juices
to Dutch oven. Add enough cold water to
just cover pork and vegetables, about 6
cups; bring to a boil.
Reduce heat to low and cover. Simmer,
stirring occasionally, until pork is very ten-
der, about 1 1/2 hours.
Just before pork is tender, make saffron
rice. Bring rice, 4 cups water, salt and saf-
fron to a boil in medium saucepan over high
heat. Reduce heat to very low and cover.
Simmer until tender, about 20 minutes.
Remove from heat and let stand for 5-20
minutes. Fluff rice with fork.
Using slotted spoon, transfer pork and
vegetables to serving bowl and cover with
aluminum foil. Let cooking juices stand for
3 minutes, then skim off fat on surface. Boil
over high heat, uncovered, until cooking
liquid is reduced by half, about 10 minutes.
Season juices with salt and pepper. Pour
over pork and vegetables and sprinkle with
cilantro. Spoon saffron rice into bowls. Top
with stew, sprinkle with cilantro and serve.

magine being able to learn World
History by actually visiting the places
you previously only read about, by
actually seeing the historic landmarks you
studied, and being able to photograph
some of the worlds famous sights and art-
work with your own camera . . . .for
Byram Intermediate School eighth grader,
Kaitlyn Andolena, this summer was a
world history lesson up close and person-
al.
Kaitlyn is an accepted delegate and
accomplished alumni of the People to
People Student Ambassador Program.
Created by Dwight D. Eisenhower over 50
years ago, the premise of the P2P program
is world peace gained through global
awareness. In short, as tomorrows lead-
ers, if the youth of the world could
become aware and educated about each
others cultures, customs and ways, his-
tory and government, religion, artwork
and cuisine and daily life, maybe, just
maybe, we could achieve world peace.
The goal is to have our students become
global citizens knowledgeable about
each others lifestyles the world over. And
what better way for students to gain that
knowledge but by studying it, learning
about it and then experiencing it firsthand,
to live it, breathe it and really understand
it by living it.
As one of 18 other local delegates rep-
resenting Morris, Sussex and Warren
counties, Kaitlyn and her fellow delegates
traveled to Europe this summer to visit
Italy, France and England. Touching down
in Rome, the delegates hit the ground run-
ning and made their way north by bus,
train, gondola and ferry. Taking in over 14
cities in Italy before heading to Paris,
Caen and the shores of Normandy before
they finished up in Portsmouth and
London, their itinerary was jam packed
with adventures and sites to behold.
Aside from taking in some of the most
famous tourist attractions native to each
country (the Colosseum, the Roman
Forum and the Vatican in Italy, the Eiffel
tower, the Chateau De Versailles and an
incredible ceremony commemorating the
Battle of Normandy in France as well as
the London Eye, The Crown Jewels and
the Changing of the Guard at Buckingham
Palace in Great Britain), the trip also
included stops at museums housing some
of the worlds most renown pieces of art
(such as the statue of David in Florences
Accademia Gallery and the Mona Lisa in
the Louvre in Paris).
But the People to People (P2P) experi-
ence is so much more than just visiting
tourist spots. Keeping in step with
Eisenhowers plans, hopes and dreams,
Kaitlyn and her fellow delegates also per-
formed community service at a park in
Assisi, had the opportunity to speak with a
Friar as well as a session with a member of
British parliament; visits to landmarks
included fact-filled guided tours to give
the students a very detailed and complete
background of the places they were visit-
ing and relevant historical facts about the
events that shaped history. Highlights of
their amazing European adventure also
included a two day home stay with an
Italian family, a day spent working on an
Italian farm, participating in a wreath cer-
emony commemorating the Battle of
Normandy and Frances liberation, and
taking in the play Charlie and the
Chocolate Factory in downtown London.
One of Kaitlyns personal favorite
experiences was the Full On
Experience. The idea behind the Full On
Experience is to live your life to the
fullest, to give 110% and to challenge
yourself each and every day said
Kaitlyn, we were challenged to rappel
100 feet down off the top of a fortress
tower it was unbelievable! What a
thrill! And the view from the top of the
tower was spectacular!
With travel came the opportunity to
sample European cuisine. From making
their own pizzas and pasta, to sampling
escargot, authentic French croissants and
more gelato than you can imagine, dele-
gates enjoyed country favorites between
activities. The P2P itinerary while impres-
sive in the fun and exciting categories is
also rich in education and culture.
Delegates observed glass blowing in
Murano, visited a fashion institute in
Milan and the Hampton Court Palace in
London home of King Henry VIII.
There were two things that Kaitlyn
found of particular interest while
Exploring Europe: one was the intricate
and elaborate detail in European architec-
ture so many of the buildings were just so
beautiful, I really loved looking how they
were designed and built and photograph-
ing them from different angles, they were
incredible ; the other was the Mona Lisa.
I had this vision in my head that the
Mona Lisa was this gi-normous painting,
said Kaitlyn, I was totally shocked and
surprised to see that it is really this very
small painting roped off on this huge wall
it was not at all what I pictured.
But there is a lot more to People to
People than just traveling the world in the
summer; delegates spend the year before
they leave preparing for their trip, study-
ing about the countries they will visit. I
think most people are surprised to hear
how much work we put in before and after
we travel says Andolena. There are
monthly meeting so delegates can get to

build, a lot of studying, on
line testing, projects,
researching various aspects
of the countries youll soon
visit, community service,
and of course learning how
to be a savvy traveler. This
years requirements also
included a lecture at
Fairleigh Dickinson
University and two post
trip projects.
Grateful and humble,
Kaitlyn was shy about
opening up about why this
trip had such special mean-
ing to her . . ..she earned
more than two-thirds of the
tuition monies on her own.
Working so hard to be
able to even go on this trip
made me really, really
appreciate it. I took over

ictorian Cameos have a timeless
quality that distinguishes them
from other jewelry. The Morris
County Historical Society offers insight
into Victorian cameos and their allure dur-
ing a special lecture on Sunday, October
26 starting at 1:30 p.m. at Acorn Hall.
During the lecture, guest speaker Nancy
Cooper, a MCHS volunteer and former
Board member, shares her extensive
knowledge of Victorian cameos, and will
display examples of cameos from her per-
sonal collection. Wearing cameos as an
accessory was popularized by Queen
Victoria. Then as now, cameos are appre-
ciated for their beauty, and admired for
their art and craftsmanship. Cameo art
originally came from an ancient tradition
of carving a relief image of contrasting
color into semi-precious stones. A selec-
tion of hand-crafted cameo pieces are
available for purchase after the lecture, in
the Society's Oak Leaf Gallery Gift Shop.
The cost to tour Acorn Hall and attend the
lecture is $6 for adults, $5 for seniors, and
$3 for students. Children under age 12 are
Free. The admission price may be applied
toward membership with the MCHS.

describe how amazing the trip was or the
incredible influence it has already had on

F
or some, the thoughts
of ghosts and paranor-
mal activity only occur
around Halloween.
However, for the New Jersey
Ghost Hunters Society
(NJGHS) , studying the para-
normal is something done
year around.. The North
Jersey Division of the
NJGHS meets monthly at the
Hackettstown Community
Center. The founder/direc-
tor of the NJGHS is LAura
Hladik Hoffman of
Saylorsburg, Pennsylvania,
who is the author of
Ghosthunting New Jersey
and Ghosthunting New York
City (both at Barnes and
Noble). The team leader of
the North Jersey division of
the society is Dina Chirico of
Belvidere.
Since I was a child I had
experienced things that
seemed out of the norm,
which I only found out later.
I thought everyone experi-
enced this stuff. As I had got-
ten older, my thirst for
answers became more, and
so I met L'Aura in 1998 and
began attending NJGHS
meetings and it just grew
from there. I am always
learning and studying, said
Chirico in explaining what
drew her into paranormal
investigation.
The NJGHS researches
and documents paranormal
activity in hopes to have a
better understanding of the
other side and to have
proof to back up that under-
standing. Hoffman
explained that the group is
happy to have opportunities
to go into peoples home to
investigate other worldly
activity and there is no
charge for their investiga-
tions.
Chirico noted that she has
been on hundreds of such
investigations:
everything from pri-
vate residences,[to] public
establishments/ businesses,
public events, private events,
personal investigations and
more. One case that immedi-
ately comes to mind was an
apartment above an antique
store in Morris County.
There were both positive and
negative occurrences,
according to the residents.
There were shadow people,
full body apparitions, items
being moved, name calling,
doors closing, residual activ-
ity and much more. Not to
mention a full length mirror
that served as an active por-
tal. I had a few personal
experiences which could not
be explained by organic
Known as the "ghost chick",

founder of the New Jersey
Ghost Hunters Society.
Hackettstowns Ghost Hunters
means and we returned to
this place several times.
As for memorable local
investigations, those include
a 2006 Ghost Conference
was held in Hackettstown.
That night both Chirico and
Hoffman investigated the
restaurant, Charlie Browns (
now Bea McNally's). There
were various versions of the
story of a drowning in a bath-
tub when the structure was a
hotel. Although there was no
significant activity recorded
the night they were there,
Hoffman noted that she was
told that the exact location of
the bathtub was not usually
readily disclosed, for fear of
spooking the busboys who
lived there.
Chirico also shared, Ive
investigated a few private
residences and a dorm room
in one of the newer halls at
Centenary College. In refer-
ence to the dorm room, the
student had been experienc-
ing some significant activity,
such as physical manifesta-
tions (i.e. getting hit/
punched), temperature
changes and movement.
For these paranormal
investigators, ghost hunt-
ing is not a once a year
experience. However, what
does a ghost hunters society
do for Halloween?
"The NJGHS already
kicked off the haunted
Halloween season with a
group tour of Eastern State
Penitentiary's 'Terror Behind
the Walls' haunted house on
September 20 in
Philadelphiaseveral pre-
sentations are scheduled for
the month of October
throughout New Jersey. In
fact, Ghosthunting New
Jersey and New York City
will be held at the Warren
County Library in Belvidere
on October 30 at 7:00 pm.
Details and presentation
schedule are on the web site
at www.njghs.net/presenta-
tions.html The monthly
meeting held in
Hackettstown on October 21
will host guest speaker
Jennifer Wood presenting the
Crystal Skull's energy mys-
teries and meditations,
shared Hoffman
While ghost hunting may
sound exciting, Hoffman
shared a few cautions to
those considering going out
on their own:
Please ghost hunt
responsibly. Never go alone
and always get permission
before investigating a ceme-
tery or grave yard. The
NJGHS has protocols in
place to safeguard its mem-
bers, the home/business
owners whose places we
investigate, and the evidence

n recent years Mount Olive Township along with many
area business supporters, including Givaudan and the
Land Conservancy of New Jersey, has worked diligent-
ly to improve and maintain the trail systems here in Mount
Olive. To celebrate those efforts and educate our residents
about these beautiful nature trails, Mount Olive Recreation
is hosting the Rockefeller Group Development
Corporation Bike & Hike Trail Stomp on Saturday,
November 22nd.
The Bike & Hike Trail Stomp will begin in Turkey
Brook Park, offering participants the chance to either
mountain bike or hike portions of the White Trail. The
mountain bike course is approximately 3 miles long and
the hike course is approximately 2 miles long. Hikers and
bikers will use opposite ends of the trail to ensure the safe-
ty of all participants with everyone gathering back at the
finish for a large bonfire party.
Most importantly, the Bike & Hike Trail Stomp will
serve as a fundraiser for ARC/Morris programming.
Participants will be asked to fundraise using pledge sheets,
which they will turn in directly to ARC/Morris on the day
of the event. ARC/Morris envisions a world in which peo-
ple with intellectual disabilities and their families are val-
ued and have the opportunity to achieve their highest level
of self-sufficiency, independence and inclusion possible.
Registration for the Bike & Hike Trail Stomp will be
online only through https://www.bikereg.com/bike--hike-
trail-stomp which can accept Visa, Mastercard, Discover
and American Express. Additional information about the
event and the links for registration can be found on the
Mount Olive Recreation webpage: www.mountolivetown-
ship.com/recreation.html.
T
here is no denying that the mention of Halloween
makes everyone think candy, candy, candy! But this
year the Mount Olive Recreation department is striv-
ing to keep our families moving together with healthy
MOmentum. Much of our motivation this year was to show-
case a variety of fun, non-competitive ways that families can
engage with one another outside, using our beautiful park
system, stated Recreation Supervisor, Jill Daggon. With that
goal in mind, on Saturday, October 25th, Turkey Brook Park
will play host to a spooktacular new event, The Monster
Mash 3K Dash!
Beginning at 6:00pm, participants will run or walk on a
1.86 mile roughly paved course within Turkey Brook Park at
twilight using their own flashlights and following glow
sticks to get around. The run/walk is untimed and unscored
so that participants of all skill levels and ages are welcomed
and encouraged to join in the fun. Being a Halloween
themed event, we encourage everyone to come dressed to
impress in their favorite costumes but please remember,
this is a family event so lets keep the costumes from being
too gruesome.
Once everyone is back on the event field well continue
the fun with a family friendly Monster Bash including a small
campfire, a special activity where the children visit our spon-
sors for prizes, food for purchase and Halloween themed
music to boogie the night away.
Registration is $10 per person before October 22nd and
$20 per person on site the day of the event. Kids ages 5 years
and under are Free. For more information or to register please
visit www.MountOliveTownship.com/recreation.html.
W
ith the school year in full swing it seems the
perfect time to begin contemplating, what are
you doing for your own growth and education?
Are you happy with your current career path? Maybe you
have entrepreneurial aspirations but arent certain how to
pursue them. Or maybe you realize that after years as a
professional you still yearn for new skills and creative
outlets. Whatever your situation, Mount Olive Recreation
has created an online portal tailored to the individual who
wishes to learn at their own pace, at their own design.
Sometimes in the rush of life and the constant
demands around us, we forget to take the time to invest in
ourselves, stated Recreation Supervisor, Jill Daggon,
Staying competitive in the job market is always a prior-
ity, but it should take equal precedence that we keep our
minds active and engaged with interests outside of our
immediate job descriptions as well.
Through a partnership with Ed2Go, Mount Olive
Recreation offers over 400 online courses ranging from
financial literacy, to basic computing skills, to foreign
languages and creative writing. If you are looking to
expand your career horizons, earn continuing education
credits or invest in your own personal development there
is a course made just for you. Most courses are only $89
for a 6 week program that can be completed in the com-
fort of your own home, on your own schedule. For more
information on the Workforce Development &
Community Education courses offered through Mount
Olive Recreation please visit www.mountolivetownship.

hether youre a soldier, Army
veteran or proud Army supporter,
you can now be part of the future
home to Army history. You can inscribe a
personal message on a brick that will be
permanently laid in the outdoor pathways
and plazas of the future National Museum
of the United States Army.
The National Army Museum will be sit-
uated in Fort Belvoir, Va., nearWashington,
D.C., and it will feature a memorial garden,
amphitheater and parade ground. The
185,000-square-foot facility is expected to
attract more than 750,000 visitors every
year.
CBSs Criminal Minds star Joe
Mantegna, national spokesperson for the
National Museum of the United States
Army campaign, was one of the first to
order a commemorative brick. Mantegnas
brick inscription honored his uncle, William
Novelli, a Purple Heart recipient who
served in Pattons 3rd Army during World
War II. Another World War II veteran, Mort
Walker, will also have his name inscribed
on one of the bricks, along with that of the
famous comic strip soldier he first drew
more than 65 years ago, Beetle Bailey.
In addition to these names, there will be
thousands more, with messages commemo-
rating soldiers, Army families, Department
of the Army civilians, Army supporters,
Army units, and relatives and loved ones.
The Mesabi black granite bricks are avail-
able in two sizes: four inches by eight inch-
es and eight inches by eight inches. You can
also order gift certificates and replicas.
The Secretary of the Army designated
The Army Historical Foundation to lead the
campaign to build the museum. More infor-
mation about the commemorative bricks
and museum is available on the founda-
tions website. Learn more at www.army-
history.org/bricks.

T
he Morris Educational Foundation
(MEF) has announced it will contin-
ue its community volunteer pro-
gram at Frelinghuysen Middle School
(FMS) for the 2014-2015 school year.
Leadership at both the middle school and
the foundation are excited about increasing
the impact of the program targeted to sixth
through eighth grade students. The Morris
Educational Foundation is pleased to invite
members of our community who are inter-
ested in tutoring to participate. In addition
to those who are able to tutor language
arts, the MEF is making a special request
for those who can tutor math.
Last year, over thirty tutors worked with
approximately 50 children in both lan-
guage arts and mathematics instruction.
This is the fourth consecutive year of the
program.
FMS Principal David Thompson
shared, The support that tutors provide is
invaluable in helping our students improve
their academic skills, which translates into
overall increased academic success. The
tutors represent positive and successful
role models who encourage our students to
establish high expectations and meaningful
goals for themselves. He added, It is
heartwarming to see the excitement in our
students when they know that a neighbor
in the community really cares about them.
The MEF is now enrolling additional
tutors in preparation for fall training ses-
sions and is accepting applications. Those
interested in applying to tutor language
arts and/or math, should email the founda-
tion at debbie@morrisedfoundation.org.
The Morris Educational Foundation is a
501 (c) (3) that seeks to attract private
resources to support a variety of education-
al programs and initiatives in support of
the Morris School District. Through effec-
tive solicitation and distribution of funds,
the Morris Educational Foundation helps
enable the District to continue to be the
model of visionary social and educational
leadership it has been since its inception.

H
alloween is as much about candy as it is about dress-
ing up in fun costumes and engaging in scare tactics.
Humans have loved their sweets for centuries. Early
human beings made candy out of honey by drying it and
forming a taffy-like confection, while many modern incarna-
tions of candy involve dissolving sugar into water or milk to
form a syrup. Candy is then made by varying the temperature
of the syrup and the sugar concentration to achieve desired
textures. The word "candy" is derived from the Arabic "quan-
di," meaning "made of sugar."
Candy also often refers to chocolate bars and other treats
that people find so delectable. Ancient Mayans and Aztecs
were the first to experiment with the cocoa bean, the corner-
stone of chocolate confections, in the 1500s. However, their
chocolate drinks were bitter and not the sweet delights we've
come to associate with chocolate. It wasn't until the 19th cen-
tury that innovators began mixing cocoa with sugar to create
chocolate bars. Joseph Fry is credited with making the first
chocolate bar in 1847, using bittersweet chocolate. Milk
chocolate came later, in 1875, when it was introduced by
Henry Nestl and Daniel Peter. Milton Hershey began pro-
ducing sweet chocolate in 1894.
Hershey bars, Nestl bars and many other original candies
are still in production today. Tootsie Rolls and Charleston
Chews are other classic candies still produced. Good &
Plenty debuted in 1893, making it the oldest branded candy
in America. NECCO company Wafers were officially brand-
ed in 1901 and are another classic treat consumers can still
find in the candy aisle of their nearest grocery store.
Smarties is another candy that's bound to show up in trick-
or-treat bags this Halloween. Smarties have been owned and
operated by the same family since 1949. The Ce De Candy
Inc. factory opened up in August 1949 in Bloomfield, NJ, and
produced a candy that would not melt in the heat. Smarties
are a favorite all over North America and elsewhere. When
demand is too high for the NJ factory, particularly around
Halloween, Smarties are also produced in a Canadian facto-
ry in Newmarket, Ontario. Smarties imported to the United
States are still called Smarties. However, Smarties sold in
Canada are known as "Rockets," as another candy sold in
Canada already bears the Smarties name.
Halloween wouldn't be nearly as sweet without troves of
candy treasures. Children are urged to have their candy sort-
ed and inspected by parents prior to eating to avoid any dan-
gers, such as food allergies or tampering.
Sweet, Sweet Candy History
T
he tradition of jack-o'-lanterns began in Ireland and
Scotland, and pumpkins were not the first gourd of
choice to use as lanterns. Turnips and rutabagas were
often used because of their availability. When Irish immi-
grants migrated to America, they brought their jack-o'-lantern
traditions with them. Turnips were not as prevalent on this
side of the Atlantic, so carvers turned to pumpkins, which
were larger and easier to carve. Jack-o'-lanterns get their
name from Irish folklore, particularly a character named
Jack. Jack liked to drink and couldn't pay his pub tab, mak-
ing a deal with the Devil for his soul to cover the pub fee.
Jack agreed, but he tricked the Devil to get away with his soul
and captured the Devil. Jack agrees to free the Devil if he
makes a new deal that the Devil can't ever have his soul.
Years pass and Jack eventually dies. Because of his poor
lifestyle, he is not material for heaven, and Jack is once again
reunited with the Devil. Because the Devilremembers he can-
not have Jack's soul, Jack is forced to roam the twilight world
forever as a lost soul. The Devil gives Jack a few embers to
burn to light the way, which Jack stores in a hollowed-out
turnip. Eventually these lanterns, used to keep scary spirits at
bay, were called jack-o'-lanterns.

W
e are seeing a renaissance of new electric car
thinking that is draws upon the past modern age
of innovative legends who were the discoverers
and champions of early 20th century zero CO2 emission
energy
When we think about todays global rally for zero carbon
emissions and sustainable energy, Thomas Edison is includ-
ed in the list of names. Thomas Edison held these same
views on clean energy over 100 years ago. Although
Edison had a close friendship with Henry Ford, Edison
believed in electric cars. He promoted the electric car as
cleaner, quieter and easier to drive than gas powered auto-
mobiles. The Edison Electric Company was the battery
supplier to S.R. Bailey & Company which only manufac-
tured electric automobiles. The company built these elec-
tric automobiles in their Amesbury, Massachusetts plant
from 1907 to 1915. Their showcase model was the Bailey
Electric Phaeton. It was touted as a cross country vehicle
which could drive 100 miles on a full charge under ideal
conditions.
The other legendary name that has been tied to todays
electric car models is Nikola Tesla. Tesla was a lead engi-
neer who felt he was treated unfairly by his employer
Thomas Edison. Tesla quit his employment with Edison
and got his revenge with employment at his rival company
Westinghouse They may have had a great public feud over
AC vs DC currents but, they both had an interest in the elec-
tric powered cars over the gas powered engines. Nikola
Tesla even designed his own AC motor in 1882. It is pur-
ported that, Nikola Teslas greatest marvel in car science
took place in 1930. Tesla replaced a Pierce Arrows ICE
engine with an Electric Motor. The power source he used to
power this car was a mysterious black box of radio tubes
housed in the glove compartment. Mounted to the box was
a protruding antenna. Tesla manually adjusted the tuners to
tune into the right frequency and acquired 240 volts that
were delivered through the air from the Wardencliffe power
plant tower near Niagara Falls NY into his car. Nikola Tesla
used his own personal funds to create this free energy pro-
totype car. When Tesla wanted to put his invention into
production and needed an investor, J.P. Morgan did not like
the idea because, you could not put a meter on this kind of
energy. Morgan stopped funding Tesla's free energy car and
the Wardencliffe Tower was taken down and Tesla plans on
the clean free energy car also disappeared never to be found
again.
Even before Edisons and Teslas dream of clean energy
cars there was the fuel cell that was developed in the late
1830s by William Robert Grove who called it the gas bat-
tery. The fuel cell has the primary qualities of a car bat-
tery whose chemical fuel is constantly replenished. Todays
Proton-Exchange-Membrane (PME)-hydrogen- battery is
composed of a number of stacked cells. These cells can gen-
erate enough energy to power a car engine with hydrogen as
the catalyst (the most abundant resource). This technology
basically converts hydrogen into water and in the process
creates electricity. Toyota will have a Hydrogen Fuel
Celled car on the public roads in 2015.
One can only wonder if we have started using the clean
energy invented in the 19th Century by these legendary
inventors for cars of the 20th Century we would not be
thinking of cars with zero CO2 emissions in the 21st
Century because we would already be driving them.
Edisons electric cars are still working today and parked
at his home garage at Glenmont in West Orange. Visit the
