oxbury resident Michael Remshifski has earned Boy
Scoutings highest rank, Eagle Scout.
Michaels scouting journey began when he joined Cub Scout
Pack 188 of Landing, New Jersey, in 2001 as a Tiger Cub.
While a Cub Scout, Mike was introduced to camping and fur-
ther developed a love for the outdoors. This love for the out-
doors was carried throughout his years of Cub Scouting, as he
earned the ranks of Bobcat, Wolf, Bear, Webelos, and ulti-
mately Cub Scoutings highest award, the Arrow of Light.
After earning the Arrow of Light, Mike, at age 10, crossed
over into Landing Boy Scout Troop 188. Mike has fond mem-
ories of spending his summers at Camp Ockanickon and
Camp Allamuchy. He earned a total of 30 merit badges in his
Scouting career, exceeding the minimum of just 21, and also
earned the Mile Swim Award. Some of his favorite badges
were Wilderness Survival, Shotgun Shooting, and Fly
Fishing. While in the troop, Michael held various leadership
roles such as Patrol Leader, Assistant Senior Patrol Leader,
and Wilderness Survival Instructor.
Michael was also a part of the Venture Patrol, which is a
patrol for senior scouts, and went on challenging backpack-
ing, canoeing, and biking trips. During his time in the patrol
he went on a canoeing trip in the Thousand Islands Region
and also went Mountain Biking up in Acadia National Park in
Maine. One of my favorite moments of my scouting career
was when we saw the sunrise from the top of Cadillac
Mountain, which is the most eastern mountain on the east
coast of the United States. We were the first people to see the
sunrise and it was one of the most beautiful things I have ever
seen.
Michael chose to build a handicap accessible fishing dock
in Ledgewood Park, Roxbury, NJ for his Eagle Project. He
has always loved to fish and wanted to extend that experience
to others, especially those who face physical challenges find-
ing a safe place to fish. He wanted his project to allow those
who are wheelchair bound to enjoy fishing just as everyone
else can in Roxbury. At the time, there was no facility in
Roxburys parks for the physically handicapped. Michael
learned many lessons during his project, including time man-

agement, flexibility, and working with others. He spent count-
less hours filling out paperwork, working with an architect,
learning the permit approval process, seeking generous dona-
tions from suppliers, and leading the scouts and friends who
helped him build.
Michael is a graduate of Roxbury High School, where he
ran cross country and track, played ice hockey and lacrosse,
and was a Captain of the Robotics Team. He also graduated
top of his class at MCST in the Auto Technician Program.
Michael is also a Past Master Counselor of K.E.H. Chapter,
DeMolay Leaders of New Jersey. He is currently attending
County College of Morris for Engineering Science. Mike
plans to pursue a career in the field of Engineering and is plan-
ning on earning his Masters Degree. Outside of Scouting,
Michael enjoys snowboarding, fishing, skateboarding, and
off-roading.

isenhower Middle School students
and teachers raised $1,800 for St.
Huberts Animal Welfare Center as
part of a school-wide effort to make a differ-
ence in the lives of pets in the Garden State.
On Friday, June 20, students and teach-
ers who participated in the effort presented
the $1,800 check to American Animal
Hospital veterinarian Dr. Brian Voynick,
who is part of St. Huberts fundraising team
and serves on the board of St. Hubert's.
"Thank you to Eisenhower Middle
School for their Walk-Jog-Run school

cares for animals in shelters, rehabilitating
pets who have lived in mills, facilitating
adoptions, and advocating for our furry
friends who would otherwise have no voice.
With contributions like this, it keeps our
efforts moving forward," said Voynick.
Voynick and American Animal Hospital
personally matched the EMS donation with
an additional $700 for a total of $2500 over-
all that will be donated.
"We are really proud of our students and
what we accomplished. EMS is a great
place to work because we have an atmos-
phere of cooperation and teamwork.
Anything is people when people work in
teams. We want to also thank the families
and members of team 7-1, as well as our
staff who contributed," said Cindy
Hubbard, event organizer and English
teacher at Eisenhower Middle School. "It
was a student-led effort along with our
teachers who also led them. Everybody did
something."

able community services, says Chief Dave

addition to the exhibits, there is FREE ice-
skating, hands-on activities, FREE give-
aways, an opportunity to explore fire trucks,

launched in 2000 that registers more than
1,000 children annually.
Chief Dave Doyle and the Morris
County Park Police ensure public safety
throughout Morris County, and provide
assistance to other area agencies. The
department currently patrols park facilities
with cars, motorcycles, bicycles, all-terrain
vehicles, and horses. For more information,

M
en and women who adhere to a
vegan or vegetarian diet may find
that mixing and matching certain
foods they eat can greatly improve their
overall health. While studies have debunked
the once accepted notion that vegans and
vegetarians do not have enough iron in their
diets because they do not eat red meat, it's
important to note that, even though vegeta-
bles do provide vegans and vegetarians with
a substantial amount of iron, the iron vegans
and vegetarians get from grains and vegeta-
bles is a different type of iron that is not
absorbed as well as the iron found in meat.
In addition, certain staples of the vegetarian
diet further limit iron absorption. But con-
suming vitamin C at the same time as iron-
rich foods can enhance iron absorption,
ensuring vegans and vegetarians get the iron
their bodies need.

he Morris County Historical Society
at Acorn Hall (MCHS) is currently
seeking (volunteer) educators to take
an active role in supporting the work of the
Society. Founded in 1946, the Societys
mission is dedicated to the discovery,
preservation, promotion, and interpretation
of Morris County history through events,
programs, exhibits, and preservation advo-
cacy. Interested individuals are invited to
train as docents to assist staff in giving tours
of the Societys headquarters, Acorn Hall,
during visitor hours and events.
Built in 1853, Acorn Hall was remodeled
in the Italianate villa-style in 1860, and was
once home to the Crane-Hone families.
Docents become familiarized with describ-
ing the house, its furnishings and decorative
arts collections, and special exhibits. They
also acquaint visitors with the life and times
of its former residents; most notably, Mary
Crane Hone, who donated her exceptional
Victorian home to the Society in 1971.
Docent assistance is needed during visi-
tor hours, which are Wednesdays and
Thursdays from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m., and on
Sundays, from 1 p.m. to 4 p.m. When
scheduled for tours, docents may also be
requested to assist with research and/or cler-
ical projects. For more information about
the MCHS docent program, and to schedule
an appointment, please call Amy Curry,
MCHS director, at 973-267-3465. The

B
ackyard barbecues and pool parties
are staples of summer. Such festive
events with family and friends create
memories that last a lifetime. But as enjoy-
able as such get-togethers can be, many are
not terribly eco-friendly, an unfortunate reali-
ty that can take a heavy toll on the planet.
Reducing summer party waste is not very
difficult. Eco-conscious hosts can take sever-
al steps to reduce the carbon footprint of sum-
mer party season.
* Serve guests using reusable kitchen-
ware. Though a backyard barbecue may seem
like the perfect time to pull out the paper
plates and plastic cups, such items are waste-
ful. Hosts might have to do a little extra work,
but serving guests using reusable kitchenware
can make any pool party more eco-friendly.
Such items can be reused again and again all
season long. And hosts don't need to use the
fine china, opting for plastic plates and cups
instead. Such items are dishwasher-friendly,
meaning the only extra work hosts have to do
is load and unload the dishwasher.
* Don't go overboard with main items.
Many hosts know that they are bound to have
some leftover hamburgers and hot dogs after
everyone goes home for the night. Those left-
overs often end up going to waste. Instead of
making too many items that can't be enjoyed
as leftovers, hosts can make more salad and
pasta that might taste better the day after. In
addition, such items can be sent home with
guests, whereas guests are unlikely to take
home burgers and franks. Hosts who find
themselves with a substantial amount of left-
overs should call a nearby food bank or
homeless shelter to see if they accept left-
overs as donations.
* Organize the menu with friends. Some
people feel that party etiquette dictates that
guests bring something to the party. While
this is a great way to relieve hosts of some of
the financial burden of hosting a party, it can
also produce waste if guests bring the same
items. In the days before the party, hosts
should contact their friends and family to
make sure everyone is bringing something
different. This reduces the likelihood that
food will end up going to waste.
* Recycle bottles and cans. Whether it's
beer, soda or water, beverages served at bar-
becues and pool parties tend to come in bot-
tles or cans. To ensure a party is more eco-
friendly, hosts should designate a garbage can
for just bottles and cans, directing guests to
discard these items in an eco-friendly way.

T
he right outdoor furniture can make
summer soirees that much more
enjoyable. Lounging in a comfort-
able patio chair is a great way to spend a
warm summer evening. But choosing the
right outdoor furniture for your patio is
about more than finding the most comfort-
able chair. The following are a few tips for
homeowners looking to make the most of
their patio space.
* Consider the function of your patio.
Some homeowners can't go a weekend
without having guests over to entertain,
while others prefer their patios to serve as a
peaceful retreat from everyone and every-
thing. If you're among the former, then you
will likely want your patio to resemble an
outdoor dining area, which means you will
need room for a table and multiple chairs. If
you want the patio to serve as a retreat, then
you likely won't need a full dining set.
Instead, choose a small table and one or two
dining chairs, decorating the rest of the
patio with a chaise longue or two, which
allows you to stretch out and take a nap if
you so desire.
* Opt for low-maintenance furniture.
When choosing outdoor furniture, keep in
mind that the patio and the furniture on it is
meant to offer a place to unwind and relax.
Furniture that must be constantly cleaned or
covered up because it can't brave the ele-
ments cuts into your relaxation time. All-
weather wicker pieces and metal chairs can
brave the elements, and even do so for years
and years.
* Consider double-sided cushions. When
constantly exposed to the sun, the fabric on
cushions can fade fast. Though some home-
owners combat this by keeping an umbrella
open or adding an awning to cover the
patio, that's not always a practical solution.
Instead, consider double-sided cushions that
can be flipped every so often to reduce fad-
ing.
* Don't overlook weight. Heavy outdoor
furniture might seem more stable, but such
items also are more difficult to move. That's
tricky for homeowners who like to
rearrange their patio furniture or those who
prefer to move their furnishings into a shed
to reduce their exposure to the elements. If
you frequently move your outdoor furni-
ture, then opt for items that are lightweight
to make all those trips to the garage or shed
a little easier.
Find the Right
Outdoour Furniture
Spending time at the beach is a popular form of recreation
and keeping cool when temperatures soar. A day of swim-
ming necessitates bringing along supplies, namely towels,
sunscreen and maybe even a bestselling novel. Having a
few dollars on hand also can be beneficial, especially for
those who plan to visit shops or concession stands along the
boardwalk. But keeping your belongings safe at the beach
while you're playing in the water may require a little inge-
nuity.
Many beachgoers want to enjoy the sand and surf.
However, a select number of people visit the beach hoping
to take advantage of vulnerable people who leave their
valuables unattended. When swimmers wade into the water,
potential thieves may be canvassing the personal belong-
ings swimmers leave behind, so it's best that swimmers take
steps to protect their valuables.
* Do not bring valuable items. It is best to leave expensive
tablets, smartphones and jewelry at home if at all possible.
If you are a beach reader, invest in a paperback for summer
reading and leave your e-reader safely at home. Remove
jewelry before you leave for the shore. Rings, earrings and
necklaces can come off in rough surf and be lost forever.
Flaunting a lot of jewelry could make you a target for theft.
Establish a beach wardrobe of inexpensive attire that won't
be missed if they happen to be stolen.
* Don't advertise what you have. Avoid flashing cash or
credit cards at the beach. Try not to showcase certain items,
such as mp3 players or costly cameras, that you brought
along to the beach.
* Camouflage money. Wallets left behind on the sand
become easy targets. Find ways to keep money and other
belongings out of sight. A good idea is to use an empty sun-
block container as a money holder. Clean it thoroughly and
allow to dry. Cut the container in half or cut the neck of the
bottle enough so you can easily insert cash, phones and
keys. Stashed with other beach supplies, sunscreen will not
look out of place. Women can store money in a sanitary
napkin wrapper as another option. Any container that would
blend in with other beach supplies will suffice.
* Keep cash and cards to a minimum. The beach is not the
place to bring all vital documents and large amounts of
cash. Carry only what's needed, which may include only a
few dollars and a driver's license. Should personal effects
become stolen or get swept away by the waves, it is much
easier to only replace a few items instead of the contents of
an entire wallet.
* Set up camp far from the incoming tide. Sometimes the
incoming surf is a greater danger than potential thieves
patrolling the sand. If the tide is coming in or if the waves
grow rough, clothing, shoes, towels, and other belongings
can be quickly dragged out to sea. It may require a bit of a
hike to the water, but placing blankets, tents and umbrellas
far enough inland on the beach can save your belongings
from being washed away.
Ensure a trip to the beach is a safe and enjoyable venture.
Keep money, keys and other personal effects in mind when
packing for your trip.
Protect Your Belongings at the Beach

n 1909 Thomas Edison made the fortuitous trip to visit
his good friend Mark Twain (Samuel Langhorne
Clemens) along with his friend George Eastman of
Eastman Kodak. They brought along the movie equipment-
Edisons kinetograph camera and Eastman Kodak celluloid
film to record friend Mark Twain and his two daughters at
his final Stormfield home in Redding CT. This film was
going to be part of the story of The Prince and Pauper. In
1909 the technology had not yet been invented for com-
bined audio and video recording. One year later Mark
Twain died at the age of 74. His daughter Jean who
appeared in this movie clip died in 1909 at the age of 29
from a sudden heart attack. This would be the only video
of Mark Twain and the film is now part of the Smithsonian
collection in Washington DC.
Even though in this period of technology could not cap-
ture sound on movie film, voice recordings were available
many years before movie film. In 1891 Mark Twain
attempted to dictate his novella An American Claimant on
Edisons wax cylinders but all 48 recorded cylinders were
lost. Later Twain read his stories with the newly improved
technical quality of the phonograph at the Edison studio in
New York City. However, these finished voice recordings
were stored at the West Orange facility and in 1914 they
were destroyed by fire. The wonderful narrative voice of
Mark Twain that people experienced during his live stage
presentations was lost forever. Actors who got to listen to
his voice did their best at giving impersonations of this dis-
tinctive voice. It is these impersonations that have been
handed down that gives the essence of this famous authors
voice today.
Today we can still replicate the old film technology that
Edison and Eastman had started. The Thomas Edison West
Orange NPS will offer on Sunday, July 27th at 2:00 p.m.
(RESERVATIONS REQUIRED. Call 973-736-0550 ext.
89) a special film production event. Participants will use the
technologies and practices originally used by Thomas
Edison in collaboration with MONO NO AWARE.
Workshop participants will re-enact classic kinetoscope
films at the Black Maria with props provided by FilmBiz. .
It will be the same movie production the Edison studios did
in the late 1800s. They will capture short sequences on
black and white reversal film stock. All the films will be
processed on site and presented at a special screening that
will take place at 4:00 p.m. The films will then be scanned
and transferred to HD by DiJiFi for participants to share
with friends and family online. During the workshop, the
cinema arts non-profit MONO NO AWARE will introduce
the celluloid film format created in 1889 by George
Eastman that allowed Thomas Alva Edison to develop the
motion picture camera in 1891. It was a partnership and
friendship that gave way to the birth of motion pictures in
America
Please visit Thomas Edisons West Orange lab where
you can view these short films and take a look at the Black
Maria studio. Visit the Thomas Alva Edison Museum -

S
ummer is peak strawberry season and
the perfect time to enjoy one of
Americas favorite fruits.
While available year-round, California
strawberries are most plentiful from May
through August with the state producing
nearly 90 percent of strawberries grown in
the entire country. Not only are strawberries
delicious, these pretty red gems also offer
many health benefits. In fact, eating just
eight medium size strawberries a day may
improve heart and brain health, lower blood
pressure and reduce the risk of some can-
cers.
Sweet additions
California strawberries are versatile,
making them ideal additions to summer
dishes.
Fresh, seasonal ingredients bring fla-
vorful bursts to recipes at my restaurants
and home, said Brian Malarkey, celebrity
chef, restaurateur and spokesperson for the
California Strawberry Commission. I love
incorporating the natural taste of strawber-
ries in both sweet and savory dishes for an
unexpected hint of sweetness.
From fresh fish and salads to lemonade
and even barbecue sauce, just add strawber-
ries to give any meal scrumptious summer
flavor. For additional recipes by Chef
Malarkey and more, visit www.californias-
trawberries.com.

F
rom weekend backyard barbeques to
spontaneous weeknight gatherings,
summer is filled with celebrations that
bring friends and family together for fabulous
food, drink and fun. Whether youre unsure
of what wines to serve as the host, or the best
refreshment to pick as a guest, you dont have
to be a master sommelier to choose the per-
fect wine pairing for every meal or occasion.
As a general rule, nature has color-coded
foods with the wines best suited for their fla-
vors. For example, white wines pair well with
light foods, while dark wines usually comple-
ment richer fare. Here are some more specif-
ic scenarios to help you enjoy the warm
weather and good times ahead this summer.
Wedding Showers and Celebrations
Long summer days are a great time to cel-
ebrate big life events like wedding show-
ers and house-warming parties. Because
many of these soirees include an assortment
of foods, there are several routes you can take
to discover the perfect wine pairing. For
guests enjoying fresh, fruit salad or tilapia
with a mango salsa, consider an herbaceous
sauvignon blanc which will complement the
fruit flavors with its crisp acidity. For those
who prefer a more floral wine, a viognier may
be the answer to go alongside any grilled
chicken or seafood dish.
Summer Barbeques and Daytime Events
If a sunny, mid-day get together is in your
future, there is one delicious pairing option to
consider. For hosts who plan to serve a grilled
selection, such as pork chops or saucy, smoky
ribs, consider pairing the menu with an
expressive and fruit forward red blend.
Kendall-Jackson AVANT Red Blend offers a
silky and smooth texture that begins with fer-
mentation in neutral oak barrels to bring out
rich, fruit flavors. A sultry mosaic of French
varieties, the wine focuses on Syrah and
Malbec with aromas of ripe raspberry and
bold black cherry. Hints of spice and dark
chocolate deliver a smooth, lingering finish,
so this red blend will also complement a
grilled steak or any other red meat favorite.
No matter what festivities are booked on
your summer calendar, this season is full of
delightful sips for every event. For more ideas
to make celebrations special, visit

How to Select the Perfect Wines
B
efore your family begins enjoying the great out-
doors during this adventure-filled season, make sure
your yard is properly treated to avoid the dangers of
poison ivy, oak or sumac.
Learn the proper steps to keep the threat of poisonous
plants away from your family and property. Ashton Ritchie,
Lawn & Garden Expert and Author offers this expert advice
for protecting your family:
Locating the danger
Keeping your family safe begins with proper identifica-
tion of these harmful, rash-producing plants. In the right
environment, poisonous weeds can grow and spread quick-
ly. Using a photo or resource like StopPoisonIvy.com can
help identify the various poison weeds and their stages
(Poison Ivy often emerges red and only starts to turn green
in late spring). Survey your yard once a month, keeping a
close eye on these common areas:
Ground Cover: A common area for poison ivy is along
the edge of a wooded area or around any shaded and less
maintained section of the yard.
Trees: By disguising itself as part of a tree limb, poison
ivy often climbs up trees situated in shady locations.
Edges: If you find that poison ivy continues to invade
your outdoor space year after year, you may be experienc-
ing the edge effect, a phenomenon that occurs when the
wooded areas surrounding your yard dry out. Various weeds
flourish under such conditions.
Stumps: Dead stumps are also a common hangout for
these harmful weeds.
Eliminate the threat
Once you have determined where the poison ivy is locat-
ed, you can work to remove it from your surroundings.
Look for a weed-eliminating product that works double-
duty, such as Roundup Poison Ivy Plus Tough Brush
Killer, which penetrates the waxy surface of poison ivy,
oak, sumac, kudzu and other tough weeds, while also
killing at the roots.
Wear protection
Before contact with these poisonous plants, always wear
the proper clothing and protection. Be sure to cover your
hands with thick, long gloves and wear a long sleeved shirt
and pants in case you accidently touch the plants.
Choose the right time
Always choose a calm, wind-free day for applying prod-
ucts to avoid contact with other desirable plants in your
yard. If you can, it is best to apply with a temperature above
60 degrees F.
Ways to Protect Your Family Outdoors
Apply a weed-killing solution
Spray a specialized weed killer, such as Roundup
Poison Ivy Plus Tough Brush Killer on the leaves until sat-
urated, taking care not to apply to nearby trees, grasses and
desirable plants. You should always read and follow label
directions.
Wait for the plant to completely die
Perennial weeds such as poison ivy may take 4 or more
weeks for a complete kill, so be patient and follow the
directions on the specialized weed killer packaging.
Regularly monitor surroundings
Keep new weeds from growing by surveying your out-
door areas at least once a month throughout the busy weed-
growing months of May through November.
With proper application and monitoring, your family can
enjoy all the outdoor fun without the worry. For more tips
and tricks, visit www.StopPoisonIvy.com.
