New Shoes For Orphans Tops Local Boys Wish List

T
******ECRWSS****** Local Postal Customer

By Cheryl Conway t was no surprise that 12 year old Alex Bramble of Flanders asked for new shoes again for the holidays, but when he asked for pairs - not for himself- but rather for orphaned boys, the news knocked his mom off her feet! Every year near the holidays, I ask Alex for his wish list, says his mom, Kristi Rexroth. For the past several years he has asked for shoes. Alex couldn't care less about brands or styles of clothing, but athletic shoes are his thing. He loves the Nikes and the high tops. Rexroth explains, This year I asked for his list and expected the same- shoes! After a couple of days, Alex

got back to me and said I was thinking about my list and I decided I dont need anything; There are always things I want, but have more than I need, she explains. continued on page 4

Ever Wonder About

by Jack Mc Cabe he Christmas Tree is a symbol of Christmas, and has been so for many years. It is usually composed of an evergreen tree (or an artificial equivalent) covered with brightly-colored decorations on its limbs, lights, and a star at the very top. Early Christmas Trees had edible fruits, nuts, dates, cookies, pretzels, and various other treats as decorations. Nothing gives the scenic feeling of the holidays like a Christmas Tree, but where they originally came from is not easy to pinpoint. One explanation for its rise in popularity goes back to the

The Origins of the Christmas Tree

16th century and the Renaissance period in Germany, where Guild houses became known for having a tree covered with sweets for children and apprentices at Christmas. This tree was also carried outside, where people in the town square would dance around it in what became a traditional manner. Though the Christmas Trees became part of German culture in the early 18th century, it did not grow popular very fast, and were found mainly in the houses of European nobility. However, many innovations, including putting presents for children around the tree, gave it another purpose and added more joy to the season. During the Franco-Prussian War of 1870, German soldiers put Christmas Trees in their barracks and military hospitals to add some cheer to the time of year. In the1780s in Canada, soldiers defending Quebec from American soldiers and colonists in the Revolutionary War introduced the Christmas Tree where they were stationed. Before the advent of electricity, the Protestant reformer, Martin Luther, after a walk at night, put candles on a Christmas Tree with wires to brighten it up, using as inspiration the stars shining through the branches of trees. This presented a

potentially dangerous situation, as hot candle drippings are not compatible with live trees. But this brought about the tree mat and the tree skirt, both of which caught candle wax. The mat protects the floor on which the tree stands, and the skirt hides the bottom of the tree. Electricity eventually replaced candles with tree lights, and though this was a less-dangerous approach, early tree lights were not what anyone considered totally safe. After a slow start in the United States, the popularity of Christmas Trees grew in leaps and bounds at the start of the 20th century. continued on page 2

Heath Village Campus Gets Street Smart

Christmas Tree...

The huge Rockefeller Center tree in New York City also had humble beginnings, as a much smaller first one was put in the ground by construction workers in 1931.

ed and put up in late November or early December, bringing people from all around. The originality of the Christmas Tree depends on who you talk to or what you read from, and there are many firsts that refer to time periods or occurrences. But as previously stated, the Christmas Tree is a symbol of a happy, wondrous time of year, and let us hope that Christmas always stays this way.

eath Village recently hosted a senior seminar entitled Street Smart. The retirement community, along with other organizations, was selected as a key group in Hackettstown due to the municipality being identified as having a high number of pedestrian incidents. TransOptions, a local transportation nonprofit organization is partnering with Sergeant Darren Tynan of the Hackettstown Police Department to engage Hackettstown

representatives who can help spread the word. Its one step forward in reducing the towns local pedestrian injuries and fatalities.

Also under the heated tent were Centenary College representatives promoting their theatre and arts programs. Sheldon said every year the holiday celebration seems to get better and better. It is the third year of the event and many local businesses are involved, promoting the event as community members gathered promotional materials from them.

By Ejvind Boccolini Hackettstown Holiday he Celebration on Dec. 6 was festive despite the rain with music, food, dcor, a horse drawn carriage, and quite a number of community members to enjoy it all. On Dec. 6, it was quite rainy, but the Colonial Musketeers still marched down Main Street as residents stood under their umbrellas to watch them. Also, the Hackettstown Community Band performed at the gazebo, and the Hackettstown High School Women's Choir, which performs on Tuesday, Dec. 17 at 7 p.m. at the high school, sang beautifully at the Moore Street Firehouse during the celebration on Dec. 6. A horse drawn carriage was also on Moore Street, give rides around town for free. A tent with vendors was located in the parking lot adjacent to the gazebo. Representatives from local restaurants, local businesses, and charitable organizations were stationed inside the heat tent.

A football player for Mt. Olive recreation for the past seven years, Alex has a fetish for basketball sneakers and would have liked the Nike Hyperdunks, he says, but he had a better idea in mind. This year, rather than spending money on me, would you use that money to buy shoes for kids who can't afford them? Alex asks his mom. After researching local charity options, they found St. Peters Orphanage, a residential home for boys, in Denville and decided that would be perfect, says Alex, a seventh grader at Mt. Olive Middle School. Theres a big place in my heart for kids who are in an orphanage, says Alex. I dont know my own father, who lives in Florida. Last time I saw him I was two or three years old. I get what they are going through. On Nov. 7, Alex announced his new shoe drive, Put Your Best Foot Forward. He and his mom contacted the orphanage and attained a list of each boy who resides at the orphanage and his shoe size. Currently there are 14 boys, ages nine to 17, that live at the orphanage. After posting his shoe drive on Facebook as well as the list of shoe sizes being sought, people started to immediately pledge. Since his post, 23 shoes have been donated by members of the community, friends of Alex and his mom. Name brands of the athletic shoes include Adidas, Nike, Reebok and DC shoes. We have plenty left over, says Rexroth. Even a pair of

Local Boys Wish List...

slippers and one pair of dress shoes were donated. The extras were given to the orphanage as a surplus to be used as needed. Out of the shoes donated, Alex gave three pairs in lieu of me buying him shoes, says Rexroth. Then Alex used his own money to buy a pair for an orphan. Alex and his mom delivered the shoes to the orphanage on Friday, Dec. 16. Each child got a new pair of athletic shoes in his size with a card attached from the family that donated it. Because of the rules with confidentiality, Alex knew he would not be able to meet the recipients of his new shoes. He hopes that he can connect to some of them through letter writing or maybe later as a volunteer in their facility. He has a good heart that kid, says Rexroth. I was incredibly proud of Alex. He is a normal, typical 12 year old kid but he has a maturity about it, about having gratitude for the blessings that he has. He does have a conscience and a kind giving heart. Alex says he feels good when he gives to others. It feels really nice, says Alex, baritone and trumpet player in the MOMS band. I know a lot of the kids have to go without a lot of things. They will be grateful that they will be getting a new pair of shoes. Ive begun to understand more, he explains. My family is not the richest family but we have what we need, but not everyone has that. I thought it would be nice to give rather than get like I normally do. Alex credits his upbringing for his kind ways. My mom and my step dad are big influences, says

Alex. Theyve been there for me. Theyve always been nice and kind hearted. Rexroth agrees, We are very civic minded. Hes watched me do a lot of cooking for families. I start cooking food and taking it to families who need it. I grew up with my mom the same way. You just always try to do for others. Its something that resonates with him. Besides being prideful of her son, Rexroth is also super proud of being part of a community thats willing to lend a helping hand. Whether it is a house fire, drowning, a child with cancer or donating new shoes, Our community rallies and they just do it and they help. They, as always, lend a hand, share their good fortune and show their amazing hearts and good will. Alex sees that in our community; it has helped to develop that in him. Its innate in him to have such an awareness toward people who are less fortunate than him, continues Rexroth. When he sees a homeless man in town, Alex talks to him, every time he sees him. It touches his heart. Its what Alexs heart is made of.

he members of Our Lady of the Mountain church in Long Valley can now step onto their new deck, thanks to an Eagle Scout project led by Austin Popson of Hackettstown that included nearly 500 man hours of volunteer work. Popson received his Eagle Scout award at a Court of Honor on October 26 at American Legion Post 164 in Hackettstown. A 2013 graduate of Hackettstown High School, Popson was able to earn the Eagle Scout rank while also being very active outside of Scouting, including marching band, chorus, performing arts, fencing, track, and volunteering in Our Lady of the Mountains religious education program. Finding time for all my activities at school, church, and Scouts was sometimes hard, Popson said, but becoming an Eagle Scout has always been so important to me because my father, grandfather, and great grandfather were all Boy Scouts, but none of them reached Eagle. Im so proud to be the first in my family four generations of Boy Scoutsto attain the rank of Eagle. A member of Boy Scout Troop 158 in Hackettstown for seven years, Popson earned 31 merit badges10 more than needed to earn the Eagle rankand served in numerous leadership positions within the troop, including Senior Patrol Leader (the

ranking Scout in the troop), Assistant Senior Patrol Leader, Patrol Leader, Assistant Patrol Leader, and Troop Scribe, as well as Den Chiefa position in which he served as a mentor to Cub Scouts. Popson is currently studying Music Education at Warren County Community College. When asked how Scouting has helped him in his life, Popson replied, Be prepared isnt just a motto. Its a way of life for Scouts. Because of the experiences Ive had in Boy Scouts and the skills Ive learned in the troop, I find that Im much better prepared for everything that I do. And I had a lot of fun along the way. For more information about Boy Scout Troop 158, visit Troop158.webs.com.

tle of what it compares to what they did for us, says VanHaste. It shows we appreciate them. Its a great teaching moment for our community. They learn an awareness of what people sacrificed, history and to be compassionate toward other people. The Veterans who attended the assembly were relatives of the students. Some were members of the Warren County War Memorial, different legion posts from Sussex and Warren counties or the Rolling Thunder Bike Club.

Some of the festivities included a variety show by students that included songs, dances, poems and raps; an antique Military Equipment show from S. Johnson & Sons that included an ambulance and different military trucks; and a speaker from Picatinny Arsenal- Staff Sgt.

Ever Wonder About...

by Jack Mc Cabe mmortalized by the great film in 1992 called A League of Their Own, starring Geena Davis, Madonna, and Tom Hanks, among many others, the womens first professional league came about with World War II as the background for what was a very successful endeavor. Phillip Wrigley, owner of the major League baseball Chicago Cubs, along with several others, were concerned about the effects of a world war in national ballparks, what with many of our nations youth going off to foreign lands to fight as soldiers. Attendance dwindled with the level of play in Americas ballparks, and with a war on, most people didnt have a lot of money to spend on entertainment anyway. But something had to be done. It was decided to start a womens league in the Midwest in 1943 to try and bring some revenue back into the game. Wrigley financed the non-profit organization, while Ken Sells was the leagues first president. Women turned out in droves for try-outs in most major cities, then some 200 players showed up in Chicago to try-out for the final 60 that would make the four teams slated for league play. The teams were made to be even so competition would be at its highest peak, as

The First Womens Professional Baseball League

Racine, South Bend, Kenosha, and Rockford formed their players and prepared to get the games underway. Each team had 15 players, a manager, a business manager, and a ladies chaperone. It was a rocky start, as most people didnt think women could play after they had seen the major league ball teams. But they proved the spectators wrong, as players in the first All-American Girls Softball League, as it was then called, started filling the seats in ballparks with their competitive and spirited play that gained more and more fans. At first, the game was a combination of baseball and softball, and while under major league baseball rules, pitching was underhand and runs shorter between the bases. Later the game became more baseball-like, with overhand pitching, a smaller ball, and longer spaces between bases to allow stealing by runners. With patriotism running high throughout the nation because of the war, the baseball players were also very patriotic, as at each game the girls formed a V for Victory along the first and third-base lines before the National Anthem. The league itself also played a critical part as a kind of outlet in the lives of the women, as many of them had husbands in the military service, and never knew when they would get a message saying that their spouse was killed during the war. In that first season, the teams played 108 games with a champion decided at the end by a 5-game series between the two top teams. In that series, the Racine Belles defeated the Kenosha Comets to become the World Champions. But the organization was

much more than that, as the All-American Girls Professional Baseball League, as it came to be called after a number of name changes and expansion, provided a quality product at a time of great national stress. The women in that first league set a precedent for fine play and competition that was followed by every team through the final year in 1954.

n 1999, then 14-year-old Mansfield Township resident Rania Ismail sustained a neck injury that left her with chronic pain. Massage Therapy became her only source of relief; and based on her own life experience she wanted to become a massage therapist in order to provide the same relief to others who live with chronic pain. Rania who has been blind since birth is a graduate of Warren Hills Regional High School. After completing a living independence program for blind individuals that taught her how to live alone and get around, Rania researched training programs and learned that a local community college offered a certificate program in massage therapy so she decided to try it. I faced a lot of discouragement. Some people didnt believe that I could become a massage therapist, due to my blindness. Some of them even felt that I wouldnt be able to handle the work load involved in becoming a massage therapist so they tried to convince me

to change my career choice, but I wouldnt give in. I knew that becoming a massage therapist was something that I truly wanted. Although the program at the community college didnt work out the way she hoped, Rania learned a great deal and pushed forward to achieve her goal of becoming a massage therapist. She persevered despite the advice of others who tried to convince her otherwise. After leaving the community college Rania continued looking for massage schools and found the Institute for Therapeutic Massage. After touring the campus, meetting with the admissions counselor and instructors, Rania felt that she was fully supported to successfully complete the program. Rania had additional support from her mother, a long-time friend, her mentor, massage therapists and many others. She began at ITM in September of 2009 and graduated with a certificate in therapeutic massage in July of 2010. She was the only student in her class who maintained perfect attendance. Immediately following graduation, Rania began working as a massage therapist at Michaels Salon in Hackettstown in October of 2010 and became a New Jersey state certified massage therapist in 2011. It took me three years to achieve my goal. I will admit that it was a lot of hard work but it was worth it! Yes the journey was long with many road blocks, but I did it! I made it because of my willingness and my determination to learn. My instructors were also willing to work with me until the very end of the program. In addition to providing massage therapy, Rania also mentors blind students who are interested in becoming a massage therapist and those who are attending classes for massage and bodywork. As a mentor Rania helps students by giving them the same support she had from her mentors while attending classes for massage and bodywork. As a massage therapist I am able to take my clients to another place for a little while so they can get away from any stress or chronic pain they might be dealing with even if it is for an hour. I enjoy being able to show my

You can do it with the Installment Life Option, a life insurance policy option that pays beneficiaries of a life insurance policy in predetermined amounts of your choice for up to 40 years. Because of the deferred payout, the insurance company can reduce the premiums up to 50 percent. And your grandchild is reminded of your love for him or her throughout his life, particularly during the financially stressful milestones: college tuition, wedding, paying off student loans, down payment for first home, and first

child. A lot of the grandparents who do this love the fact that they can continue to help their grandchild long after theyre gone, Bernstein says. They also like the fact that they can choose what date the money is disbursed, whether its a holiday, a birthday, or a special date significant to the grandparents and grandchild. And they can add a personal note, which can be sent according to the policy holders instructions. The gift of compassion. Sponsor an impoverished child in another country in your grandchilds name. I like the organizations that allow you to personally connect with the child you sponsor, so your grandchild can write to and receive letters from them, and trade photographs. You can learn about the country together, and pick out gifts for birthday or holiday season, Bernstein says. A grandparent might pay the whole cost of sponsorship or allow the grandchild to pick up a small portion, he adds. One organization highly rated by independent charity evaluator Charity Navigator is Compassion International. The 61-yearold Christian-based non-profit facilitates 1.2 million sponsorships, providing the children with food, medical care, educational opportunities and more for $38 per month. Sponsors are invited to exchange letters and develop a relationship with the child.

Be A Holiday Guest - They Have Decked The Walls of Thomas Edisons Family Home Just For You!

by Michele Guttenberger homas Edison a widower with three children, found love again with the intuitive young Mina Miller. They married on February 24, 1886. He was 39 and she was 20 years old. He gave her an outstanding wedding gift - a beautiful Jersey countryside estate called Glenmont. It is nestled in the exclusive gated Llewellyn Park section of West Orange. Glenmont is a 29-room Queen Anne-style home resting on 15 acres of land and only one mile from Edisons labs and factories which is now the Edison Museum. The 1886 wedding gift to his bride (he affectionately called Billie) sold for $125,000 less than half the price it sold for only a few years prior. The former owner Henry C. Pedder was forced to relinquish his assets due to an embezzlement conviction. Edison was ecstatic over the Glenmont estate purchase. His quote - ''When I entered this I was paralyzed. To think that it was possible to buy a place like this, which a man with taste for art and a talent for decoration had put years of enthusiastic study and effort into -- too enthusiastic, in fact -the idea fairly turned my head and I snapped it up. It is a great deal too nice for me, but it isn't half nice enough for my little wife here.'' Mina would also raise three of her own children at Glenmont which became the family home where guests and family gathered for the Holidays. Edison was notorious for being preoccupied with his lab work and barely spent time in his home just one mile away. However, he was fully present and an involved dad with his family during Christmas festivities. Mina meticulously planned a traditional family Christmas with all the wrapped presents under the tree, decorating the home in festive trimming and providing a wonderful Christmas dinner in

the 30 seat dining room to guests and family. Now you can experience the Edison Family Holiday home for yourself. Here is what the NPS staff has prepared for this festive Edison Home Tour: Holidays at Glenmont November 29, 2013 through January 5, 2014 The sights and sounds of the season will greet visitors when they come to Thomas Edisons Home in Llewellyn Park during Holidays at Glenmont. The home will be decorated much as it was while the Edison family lived there. Favorite musical pieces will be playing and greenery and red poinsettias will deck the mantles above the fireplaces. Staircases will be ringed with boughs and red ribbon bows and wreaths will hang in every window. In the Den, the majestic 10 foot tree will be lit and the presents underneath will be waiting as if the Edison children Madeleine, Theodore and Charles, will soon come running down the stairs from their rooms - after theyve checked their stockings in the upstairs Living Room! Family china will be displayed on the Dining Room table and the scene will be completed with holiday cards that were received by the Edisons. The Holidays at Glenmont guided tours will be offered on Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays between 11:00 a.m. and 3:00 p.m. through January 5, 2014. Tickets must be purchased at the Laboratory Complex Visitor Center at 211 Main Street on the day of your visit. The Visitor Center is open from 10:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. Tickets for each tour are limited and Holidays at Glenmont is very popular, so make sure to pick up your tickets early. Most tours sell out by early afternoon. The $7.00 ticket (under age 16 is free) also includes a visit to the Laboratory Complex. Come spend the day!

Outreach Program Assists Growing Number of Homeless People in County

tance to those in need all in one place. Participants learn about obtaining shelter, financial resources, medical care, domestic violence, mental health, substance abuse and more. Participants accomplish in a day what might normally take months, according to the MHAMC in Mountain Lakes. Although it is geared mostly to the homeless, the event is opened to others who are at risk of losing their home, have received an eviction notice, faced trauma or a health issue, or are barely making ends meet so they can learn about food pantries, says Falcone. More than 50 volunteers were scheduled to staff the event; food donations were given from Starbucks, Costco, and Apple Spice Junction in Parsippany; free haircuts by local salons; and free coats were donated by the Morris County Chamber of Commerce from its coat drive at its November Business Connections meeting. Some of the agencies at the event included Community Hope, Jersey Battered Womens Services, Legal Services of Northwest Jersey, Market Street Mission, 211- First Call for Help, and Office of Temporary Assistance. The day is supposed to be about celebrating the people who are coming in, says Lisa Falcone, director of Homeless Outreach Services at MHAMC. We try to help them feel safe, by providing food, songs, the boy scouts. We keep it a light day where we are giving people what they need. We want them to feel cared about and provide a welcoming environment. Reaching all the homeless people in Morris County can be difficult. Many learn about PHC through soup kitchens, service providers, flyers and word of mouth. At last years event, about 200 homeless people attended. This year, MHAMC helped with transportation getting more people to the event from areas such as the Dover Soup Kitchen and other rooms in the community, says Falcone. Homeless individuals who attend PHC can expect to be linked immediately to temporary assistance for shelter, and any other needed services. Each participant is given a card that requires them to visit a certain number of agency service providers on site in order to be eligible to receive a free gift at the end. Each participant also receives a mental health assessment and if a person meets the criteria they will be enrolled into the MHAMC program for services. Our goal is that no one leaves there without shelter and services from agencies that they need, says Falcone. They leave with more information on how to access services. In addition to shelter, services and information, participants get sleeping bags, blankets, coats, gloves, hats, toiletries, shoes, socks, hand warmers, underwear, dental services and even a haircut. We can direct them on where they can get more of what they need, says Falcone. Its really important to really help get what they need. We offer people an opportunity to get a shower at Market Street Mission so they can feel dignified. Falcone says, The day was very successful. Many guests were linked directly to services: the Child and Family Resources saw 150 guests; Zufall Health Center saw 152 guests; Homeless Solutions saw 73 guests; The Jersey Battered Womens Services (JBWS) saw 101 guests; Hispanic Affairs saw 57 guests; NewBridge Services saw 102 guests; Legal Services saw over 70 guests; Market Street Mission saw 73 guests; and more than 60 guests received free haircuts from Cuts 4U of Rockaway and Laboratory Hair Studio of Morristown. The MHAMC Outreach Program is following up with several individuals that meet criteria for services. The HOMI case manager completed the opening paperwork for two men that are sleeping outside. We are working on a plan for continued shelter placement so that they do not stay outside, says Falcone. With statistics that show that the number of homeless people in Morris County is up, Falcone says there is a greater need for the MHAMC to reach even more people

Like us on facebook www.facebook.com/mypaperonline Tell Them You Saw It In The Hackettstown News, December 2013, Page 23 through outreach programs. According to the Point in Time Count according to the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) regulations, on Jan. 30, 2013, there were 346 homeless men, women and children counted in Morris County. Homelessness in Morris County has been on the rise over the last three full HUD count years with an overall increase of 12.7 percent. In 2012, the PITC was 281 homeless people in Morris County, compared to 317 in 2011. The economy, rise in affordable housing, and high cost of utilities are some factors adding to the increase of homeless people in Morris County. The cost of the rental market is rising, says Falcone. Five years ago, rent was a lot less. Falcone says it is difficult for people to afford to live in Morris County with their current income, and just as difficult for those on social security. It is a reality that the cost of housing here has gone up, says Falcone. The only affordable apartments are on the outskirts where there is little transportation, which does not work since most homeless people do not own a car. People are more challenged in getting jobs more than they were before, says Falcone, and if they are getting a job can they afford whats out there? People are working two jobs. Moving to a more affordable area is not always the best answer, says Falcone, because people want to stay where they come from, even more so when they get services provided to them by agencies such as MHAMC. Once you get connected you want to continue those services that youve been linked to and the services that you need, says Falcone. To reach the growing number of homeless, the MHAMC is increasing its outreach methods. There is now a drop-in center, Ednas Haven at Trinity Lutheran Church in Dover which is open from 12:30 p.m. to 4 p.m., Monday through Friday, for individuals to stop by for services such as food stamps, job referrals or are isolated. The county has recently rewritten its homeless plan, says Falcone, and is constantly revisiting and coordinating whats needed. I dont know what the answers are going to be. We are still helping people. There are a lot of successes but can we reach everybody? PHC began in 2004 when San Francisco wanted to provide necessary services to the homeless in their city. It grew into a national event and has been in Morris County for the past five years. Founded in 1953, the MHAMC is a 5013 non-profit organization that works to promote mental health awareness, prevent mental illnesses, and improve the care and treatment of people in recovery from mental illnesses through programs of education, direct service, and advocacy.

By Cheryl Conway lmost half of the homeless people in Morris County made a hopeful connection for a better life on Thursday, Dec. 5, after attending an outreach program. Held annually in Morris County for the past five years, Project Homeless Connect (PHC) pointed atleast 169 people in the right direction. The event which is hosted by the Mental Health Association of Morris County - was held at St. Peters Episcopal Church in Morristown from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. A national day of hope that provides assistance and services to people who are homeless, this years event was needed more than ever with the significant increase in the homeless population in Morris County since 2012. This year it is more relevant than ever as there has been a huge increase in homeless people needing assistance in Morris County, says Barb Flynn, director of Development of the MHAMC. This is especially poignant as many residents of Morris County dont even realize that there are homeless folks here. Although hosted by the MHAMC, the outreach program incorporates the efforts of non-profit social service agencies throughout the county, providing the most assis-
