Did You Know?
he winter solstice takes place in

December every year and marks the
longest period of darkness in the
Northern hemisphere. The summer solstice
takes place concurrently in the Southern
hemisphere at this time. The winter solstice
does not last the entire day but is the point at
which the sun is shining farthest to the south,
directly over the Tropic of Capricorn. The sun
also appears at the lowest point in the sky. Its
noontime elevation seems to be the same for
several days before and after the solstice. The
solstice typically falls on December 21 or
December 23 each year. Areas of the
Northern hemisphere will experience only

about nine hours of daylight on the solstice,
while other areas that are farther north, such
as Iceland and Nome, Alaska, may only have
between four and seven hours of daylight.
However, all areas above a latitude of 66.5
degrees north, including the Arctic Polar
Circle, do not experience a sunrise during the
solstice. While it may seem like winterdarkness will stretch on interminably, following
the winter solstice, the days begin to gradually grow longer and the nights shorter. In
2014, the winter solstice will occur on
Sunday, December 21.
Boomers Getting
Cataract Surgery Sooner
ccording to the National Eye

Institute, nearly half of all U.S.
adults either have a cataract or
have undergone cataract surgery by age
80. However, increasing numbers of
baby boomers are not waiting that long
to have their clouded eye lenses surgically removed and replaced with clear,
manmade, intraocular lenses. The reason behind this earlier surgical intervention has to do with the fact that
many people begin developing
cataracts in their forties. Once they become aware that their symptoms of
hazy vision and glare from lights are
caused by cataracts, they choose to do
something about it. Thus, more patients
in their 40s, 50s, and 60s are electing
to undergo cataract surgery instead of
waiting. Undergoing cataract surgery is

a personal decision that varies according to the individual. When you decide
that your cataract-impaired vision is
not as sharp as you would like it to be,
its time to discuss your options with
your eye doctor.
In order to diagnose cataracts, your
eye doctor will give you a comprehensive eye exam to test how well you can
see. Your doctor will also dilate your
pupils in the interest of examining the
condition of the lens and other parts of
the eye. J.C. Reiss Optician is located
at 25 South Street in downtown Morristown. We are open weekdays 10 to
6, Thursdays, 10 to 7, and Saturdays,
10 to 4. To schedule an appointment for
an eye exam, please call 973-538-5287.

In God To Be Jewish?'

Deborah's Palm Center for Jewish
Learning & Experiences in

in God to Be Jewish?" The classes, which

Dec. 1, at 1 p.m.; Wednesday, Dec. 10, at
noon; and Monday, Dec. 22, at noon, all at

the stories of the Bible speak about God in
supernatural, personal ways that have come
to feel alien to many people in our day. After
the Holocaust and so many more violent
episodes, even within our lifetime, it is hard
to imagine that God rewards and punishes
for good and bad behavior, or that a loving,
compassionate God could let such evil and
suffering abound. Many people say that they
'don't believe in God'and they really mean
they don't believe in the supernatural God
they find when they open our classical
Jewish texts."
Among the questions the rabbi will
address in her series are:
* How does Judaism address the question
of evil and suffering in the context of a belief
in God? Are there other ways to imagine a
belief in God without the supernatural, personal images of our texts? This is an exploration of God language and the range of theologies within Judaism.
* How has our tradition addressed the
challenge of faith throughout the ages?

Surely this is not the first time in history
when questions of faith have been prominent among us. How have our people adapted their beliefs in the past?
* What is the meaning of "spirituality" as
opposed to faith or belief in God? Can we
have one without the others?
This series will explore the variety of
God concepts in Judaism; the ancient and
modern quest for faith and for evolving
beliefs; and the real link between spirituality
and faith.

Sheriff Rewards Exceptional Work at No Cost to the Taxpayers,

Freeholders Object; Sheriff to Take Legal Action
By Ejvind Boccolini
reeholders over the years have not
often been in favor of salary increases
for the Morris County Sheriff's Office,
Sheriff Edward Rochford said in a phone
interview last week, and added that they are
also not in favor of the Sheriff wanting to use
the offices surplus money to give $2,500 to
each staff member to reward recent achievements and offer relief due to their low
salaries, which have fallen much lower than
competitive levels.
Chief of Staff Susan Hunter, of the Morris
County Sheriffs Office, who was also interviewed last week, said Rochford has the
authority to use his surplus to offer the
$2,500 check to each employee, and would
like to do so since salaries are very low and
often result in the office quickly losing the
talent it acquires and trains.
Hunter said there would be a zero
increase in taxes for this payout. In fact, the
bureau of Law Enforcement and the Bureau
of Corrections combined have approximately $1.8 million in surplus, so after the payout,
he (Rochford) would still be giving back the
county approximately over a million (dollars). She added that the funds are coming
out of the already approved 2014 budget and

therefore will not have any impact whatsoever on the taxes.
Through efficient management, vacancies and retirements, the agency was left with
a surplus in its salary and wages budget, a
written statement offered earlier this month
by the Sheriffs Office reads.
As of press time, emails sent to three freeholders to comment on low salaries and the
planned $2,500 payout to each Sheriff Office
staff member were not yet answered. An
email sent to Freeholder Kathy DeFillippo
was responded to, though DeFillippo only
said she did not have a comment to make at
this time.
Freeholders and Sheriffs Office officials
can
reach
this
reporter
atejvind08@yahoo.com to go on record for
this continuing story.(Freeholders were also
not reached upon placing a phone call on
Nov. 6 to the phone number listed on the
Morris County website.)
Also in the written statement from the
Sheriffs Office earlier this month, it was
noted that the Sheriff was upset about the
low salaries for his staff and about not being
allowed to offer the $2,500 check to each
employee especially due to recent achievements.The Sheriffs Office recently earned

the Prestigious 2014 Triple Crown Award,
and for those that make up the agency, an
Accreditation Incentive compensation, the
statement reads.
This Triple Crown Award is given to
agencies who achieve simultaneous accreditation from the Commission on Accreditation
for Law Enforcement Agencies, the
American Correctional Associations
Commission
on
Accreditation
for
Corrections, and the National Commission
on Correctional Healthcare. Only 39 offices
nationwide out of 3,083 have earned this
award.
Rochford said it is only fitting that he
returns some of the surplus money to staff
employees, as they continue to work harder
and wear many hats to fill the void created
by vacancies.
Rochford noted that the Sheriffs Office
manages a 400+ inmate Correctional
Facility, a Criminal Investigation Section, a
Bomb Squad, a Warrant Squad, an emergency response team, and a K-9 Unit, and are
not only prepared to handle immediate
threats, they are also trained and prepared to
Sheriff Edward Rochford
take care of the most horrific of matters

including, but not limited to, natural disasters
and heinous crimes, their statement reads.
The statement also notes that, most of
these officers voluntarily agreed to a zero
percent pay raise in 2011 and 2014 to accommodate the Freeholders budget concern
request. However, the Freeholders have now
continued on next page
continued from previous
reported that they have a $55 million surplus

and the county has never been stronger.
Rochford said in the phone interview
that there is no need to have that kind of a
surplus, and referred to the sum of money as
a war chest.
Hunter noted that a Bergen County executive who was challenging the Bergen
County Sheriffs authority much like the
voting majority of the Freeholders
are doing here (in Morris County), lost
twice in the courts and earlier this week even
lost in the public opinion as she was
dethroned at the elections.
Thanking the men and women who make
up the Morris County Sheriffs Office,
Sheriff Edward Rochford said, My officers
and civilians alike are essential to its success.
Their dedication and teamwork is unparalleled. I am thrilled to (he noted this before
Freeholder disapproval of the matter) be able
to give them a token of our appreciation for
all they do for the citizens of Morris County.
Rochford also noted other achievements
of the Morris County Sheriffs Office. The
success and efficiency of the Sheriffs Office
has been excellent in tracking and safe return
of disabled missing persons (for which the
time has been significantly reduced to well
under 30 minutes); and the success story of
the Drug Take Back (drop off) program has
also been excellent. They have gathered

about 4,000 pounds of unwanted prescription
and non-prescription medications from the
medicine cabinets of households, preventing
them from getting into the hands of our youth
or from being dumped into our water supplies.
Rochford also noted in general that,
"Serious attention to retaining our talent is
paramount and I am taking strong action to
fortify the agency to ensure continued top
notch professional service that the residents
of Morris County have come to expect from
our agency," the Sheriff said. The MCSO
accepts nothing less than maintaining the
highest levels of preparedness in order to
protect the community at large in these
uncertain times.
The statement also reads that, fortunately for Morris County, Sheriff Rochford is no
stranger to the law enforcement profession or
to politics. Rochford is on the cusp of his
50th year in law enforcement and he knows
what it takes to effectively and efficiently run
the agency, always with service to others as
an underlying philosophy. Additionally as an
elected official for the last 22 years, he has a
successful track record at working within
government to successfully achieve the crucial goals of the agency - to protect and serve
the common good of the county.
Aspergers Adult Social Group of NJ
ho we are: Our
Group began in
October of 2013.
My daughter, Jaclyn, and I
talked about how great it
would be to have a Social
Support Group for Adults
with Aspergers since we
hadn't heard of anything
like that in our part of NJ.
So we decided to try and
start one ourselves.
The amazing people that
came to the first meeting
made me realize right away
that we did the right thing!
Since then connections have
grown, new friendships
have been made, and its
truly a wonderful thing.
What we do: We have
about 20 Members who
meet once a month at different types of social gettogethers - dinners at an
Italian restaurant, a Hibachi
Restaurant, Corner Pub,
bowling nights, summer
barbecue and swimming
party, pizza and dessert

Third Annual Community Creche Christmas Celebration
he Community Crche Christmas

Celebration, a free event showcasing
hundreds of nativity scenes and several performances by local musicians, will
be held on Friday, 5 December; Saturday, 6
December; and Sunday, 7 December at The
Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints
building at 283 James Street in Morristown.
The Celebration, which is open to the
public, is a unique collaboration of community volunteers. Countless hours are spent in
the weeks leading up to the exhibit by carpenters and handypersons hanging a false
ceiling, wall coverings, and lights and by
interior designers preparing tables to stage
the display. During the exhibit, others staff
a childrens room, perform in a staged
tableaux, and serve as docents. There are
even volunteers who spend nights sleeping
in the building to assure the security of the
loaned nativities.
All of the musicians, amateurs and pro-
fessionals alike, also donate their time. We

appreciate the generosity and talents of our
musicians whose performances make our
Celebration far more than just an exhibit,
music director Marco Vergara noted.
Featured performers this year include
soprano and vocal teacher Jamie Baer
Peterson, internationally acclaimed pianist
Carl DiCasoli, and the sextet Express Male,
an independent vocal ensemble within The
Morris Choral Society.
For many, visiting the event is becoming
an annual tradition when they can enjoy old
favorites and delight in new additions.
Director Jennifer Jones notes, The
Celebration is always evolving, adding new
creative talent and new nativities from community members, building on the successes
of the preceding years in both the music
performances and the exhibits in the main
hall. This year will be no exception.
Many families particularly enjoy the

What does it mean to be a mentor?
entors can serve as trusted confidantes to young people in need of

professional guidance, providing
the support or advice many need to break into
a given industry.
While mentoring is most commonly associated with the professional arena, it need not
be restricted to corporate environments.
When looking to give back to their communities, men and women may not think of mentoring. However, mentoring can be a powerful empowerment and personal development
tool, for both mentors and the people being
mentored. The following are a handful of tips
to foster a successful mentoring relationship.
Ask a lot of questions. Mentors should
expect to field a lot of questions, but they also
should ask their share of questions. Asking
questions is a good way to challenge people
and get them thinking about various scenarios
and situations they may find themselves in.
This will help shape the person you're mentoring into an individual who can anticipate
situations and deal with them on his or her
own.
Ensure confidentiality. Confidentiality
should be of paramount importance in a mentoring relationship. The person you're mentoring should feel comfortable coming to you
with any situation and have your support, as
trust is essential to the mentor-mentee relationship.

Stretch a person's abilities. The goal of a
mentor is not to solve all of his or her
mentee's problems. Delegate tasks and provide advice to lead the mentee in the right
direction. Encourage a mentee to take on
more responsibilities, which can instill confidence and facilitate personal growth.
Enjoy the experience. Mentors benefit
from mentoring, which can provide satisfaction and a sense of accomplishment that
results from knowing you played an integral
role in the success of another person. If your
career is in a slump, mentoring may provide
the breath of fresh air you need to recharge.
Mentoring also may give you insight into
another person's life, which can be used in
your own personal development. As long as
your goal is the success and support of the
mentee, mentoring can be a selfless act that
touches the lives of others.
Formal mentoring programs exist, but
mentoring relationships often begin when a
less formal connection forms between two
people. Should a friend, employee or colleague ask for your assistance in mentoring,
embrace this compliment and make the most
of your opportunity to aide in the growth of
another person.
At Age 22, Thomas Edison Experienced The Agony of Defeat By The U.S. Congress
by Michele Guttenberger
any are familiar with Thomas
Edisons famous inventions in
electricity but, few know that his
first patent had nothing to do with the light
bulb. Thomas Edisons first patented invention was an electric vote recorder machine.
On June 1, 1869 at the young age of 22,
Edison was awarded his first US. Patent.
Edison was a telegrapher when he invented
this machine.
Edison was awarded U.S. Patent 90,646.
It was a voting device that was connected to
a clerks desk where the names of the legislators were inserted. The voter moved a
switch to either yes or no, sending an electric current to the device at the clerks desk.
Yes and No wheels kept track of the votes
and tabulated the final results. The
Electrographic Vote Recorder was a
momentous milestone in U.S. patent history
because; it was the first of 1,093 U.S.
Patents Edison would be awarded in his
lifetime. The start of Edisons first patent
application letter read:
Specification forming part of Letters
Patent No. 90,646,'dated June l, 1869.
To all whom it may concern:
Be it known that I, Thomas A. Edison of
Boston, in the county of Suffolk and State
of Massachusetts, have invented a new and
useful apparatus named Electrographic Vote

Recorder
The object of my invention is to produce
an apparatus which records and registers in
an instant,- and with great accuracy the
votes of legislative bodies, thus avoiding
loss of valuable time consumed in counting
and registering the votes and names, as
done in the usual manner ;'and my invention
consists in applying an electrographic apparatus in such a manner that each member, by
moving a switch to either of two points, representing an affirmative and opposing vote,
has his name imprinted, by means of electricity, under the desired head, on a previously-prepared paper, and at the same timethe number of votes is indicated on a-dialplate by the operation;
The vote recorder did all the things that
Thomas Edison said it would do at a very
quick speed. And so, his business interest
partner and fellow telegrapher, Dewitt
Roberts anticipated a welcomed reception
of the Electrographic Vote Recorder by
Congress in Washington D.C. From a telegraphers perspective, speed in transmitting a
response was a very desirable function.
Who would not want a quick response to a
proposition? How critically wrong were
Edisons and Roberts perception on the
performance needs of the US Congress?
Neither telegrapher understood that the

device hampered the business of the congressional filibuster. The chairman of the
committee was unmoved with the speed this
instrument could handle in recording votes.
In fact, the chairman proclaimed "If, there is
any invention on earth that we don't want
down here that is it." The slow pace of roll
call voting was an ideal speed for Congress
and other legislatures. It enabled them the
time to filibuster legislation or sway others
to change their votes. Edison's first US
Patent was also his first business failure.
Edisons invention never got passed the
floor of congress and was shelved never to

be used again. At the age of 22, Edison
experienced the agony of defeat by the U.S.
Congress without even running for office.

Flanders Takes Part In Global Candlelight Service for those Grieving a Lost Child
By Elsie Walker
round the globe, at 7pm on
December 14th, people will be
sharing in a candlelight ceremony
of remembrance and support.
While
Christmas is a happy time for many, for
some it can be a difficult season. Images of
children with Santa and the childhood joy
can be painful for those who have lost a
child, at any age. The global candlelight
ceremony was created by a family support

network called Compassionate Friends.
Through its chapters, this organization
offers support to bereaved parents siblings,
or grandparents. Every year on the second
Sunday in December, the candlelight ceremony is held at the same time at locations
around the world, creating the largest candlelight ceremony around the globe.
Locally, the ceremony will be held at the
Flanders United Presbyterian Church at 58

Drakesdale Road in Flanders.
This will the churchs third year doing
the ceremony. The churchs pastor, Rev.
Rick Oppelt explained that he learned about
Compassion Friends and its global candlelight ceremony when he was looking for
resources for a family who had been visiting
the church and had lost its teenage son in a
tragic accident. He went on to explain that
Compassionate Friends is unique in that its
focus is not on just grieving and loss, but in
helping those who have lost a child, whatever the circumstances: accident, suicide,
illness.
Far too many people have lost children
under any number of circumstances. It is
surely a pain and a loss that never leaves
parents who have lost a child. Even my
mom, who lost one of her sons, my brother,
two years ago at age 54, has never been the
same. The Worldwide Candlelight
Ceremony is not always designed to have a
religious component, though we include a
general one in the one we do and hold it in
our church sanctuary. Other groups hold
theirs in other facilities, or perhaps a fellowship room in a church, rather than sanctuary.
We certainly are welcoming to any and all,
regardless of any faith they share or don't
share, but of course we believe a faith is an
important resource in moving in and

through grief and loss. We all know how
difficult holidays often are because of the
way they remind many of loved ones no
longer with them, shared Oppelt.
He described the service at the church as
simple and meditative.
It usually
includes quiet music, a few readings, and an
opportunity for family and friends to light a
candle in remembrance of their loved ones.
He noted that there will be a fellowship time
afterwards that will allow people to share
stories and continue to support one another
as they grieve and struggle to move forward.
I grieve for [that] church family, who
have now become active members of our
congregation and close personal friends. I
grieve for my mother, who lost her adult
child, my brother David. I grieve for all who
have had to suffer these losses no parent
should ever have to endure. I am glad
through this ceremony we can honor lost
loved ones and support families who must
carry on, said Opelt.

History of the Thanksgiving Parade
housands of people line the streets

of midtown Manhattan every year
to catch a glimpse of the balloons
and performers marching in the Macy's
Thanksgiving Day Parade. Millions more
will tune in to watch it on television. The
Macy's parade is intertwined with
Thanksgiving, making it as much a part of
the holiday as turkey and pumpkin pie.
The parade has evolved throughout the
years, and the history of the parade is both
interesting and informational.
Historians believe the parade was instituted by European immigrants who made
up the majority of employees at the retail
giant Macy's. In the 1920s, employees who
were now proud Americans wanted to celebrate with traditions that were similar to
traditions in Europe. This included a
parade down the streets. Animals were borrowed from the Central Park Zoo, bands
played and marchers wore different costumes.

In 1927, concern for children lining the
parade route led parade officials to replace
live animals with the signature helium balloons people now know and love. A dragon and Felix the Cat were some of the first
balloons. The festivities continued to grow
during the 1930s, when Santa was added to
the parade's growing list of participants.
1933 was the only year that Santa led the
parade rather than closed it.
During World War II, the parade was
put on hiatus, as the rubber for the balloons
and the helium was donated to the war
effort. The parade resumed in 1945 and
was televised only in New York. The 1947
film "Miracle on 34th Street" made the
parade even more popular. NBC televised
the parade nationwide the following year,
drawing viewers from all over the country.

These Plants Can Improve Indoor Air Quality
ndoor air quality is not often an issue in

the warmer months, when many homeowners open their windows to let the fresh
air of the great outdoors enter their homes in
abundance. But once the temperatures begin
to dip and windows start to close, indoor air
quality can suffer. Musty air is not only
uncomfortable, it's also unhealthy. Volatile
organic compounds, or VOCs, can build up
inside a home, especially when windows are
kept shut for long stretches of time, which is
often the case in winter. Indoor plants can
counter such stale air, in some cases filtering
out VOCs to make the air inside a home more
breathable and healthy. The following are a
handful of houseplants that can improve
indoor air quality.
* Aloe: Many of us know aloe for its
restorative properties with regard to treating
burns and cuts, but aloe also improves indoor
air quality by helping to clear a home of the
byproducts, including formaldehyde, of
chemical-based household cleaners. Aloe
loves the sun, so if you hope to keep an aloe
plant healthy through the winter, be sure to
place the plant in a window that gets lots of
sun exposure throughout the day.
* Gerber daisy: Like aloe, a gerber daisy
needs ample sunlight, and tends to only withstand winters in warmer climates. But home-
owners who live in such climates may still

keep their windows closed in winter, and
those that do can use these colorful, lowmaintenance flowers to remove trichloroethylene, a chemical that clothes may be
exposed to during the dry cleaning process.
* Golden pothos: The golden pothos can
survive a winter, but homeowners should be
careful not to let the plant dry out, which can
happen if they are directly exposed to sunlight. A golden pothos vine will grow quickly, so a hanging basket is a great way to keep
one inside a home, where the plant can help
fight formaldehyde.
* Ficus benjamina: Also known as a weeping fig, the ficus benjamina can be difficult to
overwinter. But that does not mean your ficus
benjamina, which can filter pollutants such as
benzene, formaldehyde and trichloroethylene
from a home, won't make it through the winter. You just need to figure out the right watering and light conditions for the plant. Such
conditions can be discussed with a gardening
professional.
* Warneck dracaena: The warneck dracaena, or dracaena deremensis, fights pollutants
created by varnishes and oils. The warneck
dracaena is a sturdy houseplant that is difficult to kill, but it still thrives in temperatures
that are between 70 F and 80 F.
