Local Resident Sees Brighter Future With Foundation
By Cheryl Conway
oseph
Sehwani
of
Flanders lost his eyesight
more than three years
ago, but his vision has never
been clearer.
The 20 year old college
student at Seton Hall
University in South Orange
started a non-profit corporation just more than one year
ago called The Joseph
Sehwani
Dreamscape
Foundation. Issued its 501c3

status on Dec. 6, 2013, the
Dreamscape
Foundation
operates to aid people faced
with rare diseases and disabilities through fundraising,
research development for
cures, resources, knowledge
and inspiration.
After experiencing a rare
disease and facing incidents
of mistreatment, Sehwani
gained real insight in the way
in which victims of rare disabilities and diseases are

treated. Instead of letting that
negative energy bring him
down a dark path, Sehwani
held his head high and began
a journey to help not only
himself but lead others
toward a brighter future.
I knew how it felt to feel
helpless and perplexed by a
rare sudden disability and I
wanted to do everything in
my power to help those individuals guide themselves as
their motivation and inspiration, Sehwani says on his
website. I wanted to encourage others to envision their
own path in life despite a disability and to always keep
moving forward. The road we
must take to achieve success
and impact humanity is the
very roots of The Joseph
Sehwani
Dreamscape
Foundation, together we will
help overcome obstacles and
prove equality for those
impacted with rare disabilities.
It was on Sept. 21, 2011,
when Sehwanis world started to change. He was a 16year old junior in Spanish
class at Riverview High
School in Sarasota, Florida,
when he was rubbing his

right eye and noticed a blur
spot. He called his parents
right away, and after visiting
several eye doctors, was diagnosed
with
Lebers
Hereditary Optic Neuropathy
(LHON) by a specialist at
John Hopkins University
Hospital in Baltimore, MD.
LHON is a genetic disorder that can cause the optic
nerve to atrophy. Symptoms
usually begin as sudden,
painless loss of central vision
in one eye and then the other
eye, resulting in a severe

visual loss in both eyes.
While reading, driving and
recognizing faces are impossible, peripheral vision can
remain intact allowing the
affected individual to independently walk around.
One obstacle with those
affected by LHON is the lack
of support since they tend to
not look blind, leaving others struggling to understand
their situation and realizing
how profound their vision
loss is, Sehwani explains.
Sehwanis disorder was

passed down to him by his
maternal grandmother who
had LHON for 20 years and
his uncle who was diagnosed
with the disease when he was
11 years old but lasted only
three years with his vision
returning when he was 14
years old.
Originally, Sehwani was
told that his vision loss would
last three to six months.
Unfortunately, after three
years, Sehwani is still legally

Secret Givers Pay Off Toys On Layaway At Local Store
By Cheryl Conway
magine setting toys aside in the layaway
department of a local store as gifts for
the holiday, and when the day comes to
spend the hard-earned cash to pick up the
items, the employee in layaway shares the
shocking news that the merchandise has
already been paid for.
This spirit of giving was remarkably
bright this past holiday season when several families who went to pick up their layaway items at the Walmart in Flanders
found that the toys that they placed on hold
were already paid for by some local Secret
Santas in town.
Truly a secret it is as the givers did not
leave any contact information. Information
received from a source by MJ Media Group
Newspapers also refused to reveal the name
of a generous resident of Mt. Olive and also
did not want to be identified as the source of
the information.
On the last day of layaway on Sunday,
Dec. 21, two gentleman and then a couple
showed up at the layaway department at the
Walmart in Flanders and paid $200 to $300
each in toys as anonymous donors, according to John Forrest-Ales, a Walmart
spokesperson.
When customers came to pick up their

items and found that they were already purchased, they were excited, surprised,
appreciative and thankful, says the
spokesperson.
In 2011, Walmart brought back its holiday layaway department to guarantee customers that the items would be available for
the holiday and as a convenient way to
hide the toys and items, from family members at home, says Forrest-Ales. The holiday layaway department was available from
Oct. through Dec. 21, 2014.
Paying off other peoples layaway items
during the holiday season is not unusual,
according to Forrest-Ales, but this year he
did say that people have been very generous. One person in Pa. paid $60,000 in layaway items as a way to give back to the
community; other people have spent $500
to $600 to pay off items.
How amazing it is that people pay off
the layaway, says Forrest-Ales. If people
are trying to make a difference in the community, this is a good way to do it. During
the holidays, its incredibly inspiring to see
how generous people are and we [Walmart]
are proud to be part of the kindness.
One tip received by a local resident who
knows of the anonymous donor is that this

generous person Wanted to give locally,
thats why they chose Walmart to pay off
the layaway items, and they also chose to
pay off toys. This same person also gave
beds, toys and treats to the Eleventh Hour,
local animal rescue in Randolph.
I know this person donated beds, treats
and toys to a group of dogs he volunteers
for at the Eleventh Hour in Randolph, says
the anonymous source. I swear he must
work about 90 hours a week and still finds

the time to volunteer at this rescue center.
Strangers are paying off layaway in our
local Walmart to spread the cheer....they ask
for nothing in return just that they remain
anonymous. I know a good friend has paid
off toys that were on layaway just because
he wanted to give back locally. Mt. Olive is
a beautiful place to live- it truly is a hidden
secret!

Former MOHS Football Captain Scores Top Scholar Athletic Award
fter playing 15 years of football, from a junior Marauder

in Mt. Olive all the way to
his senior year in college, one former
captain of the Mt. Olive High School
varsity football team finishes on top
as a scholar and an athlete.
Jake Weiss of Flanders, a senior at
The College of New Jersey in Ewing
who graduated MOHS in 2011, was
recently awarded the Earl H. Dean
Scholar-Leader-Athlete Award by the
Delaware Valley Chapter of the
National Football Foundation and
College Hall of Fame. He received
the award on Sunday, Dec. 14, 2014,
at the 21stannual TCNJ Football
Banquet. This award was established
in 1965 to recognize the top ScholarLeader-Athlete from the TCNJ football team.
Weiss, finance major with plans to
graduate this May, has been named a
co-recipient of the award for his dedication to football and outstanding
academic performance. His teammate, Joe Urciuoli from Matawan,
was also named a 2014 recipient.
After struggling with injuries for

the past three years, Weiss remained
determined to play football in his
senior year. Through his hard work
and dedication to rehabilitation,
Weiss was able to overcome his
injuries and play a leadership role on
the team. It was this dedication,
along with his near perfection in the
classroom that earned Weiss the
award.
A captain of the MOHS Varsity
Football team in 2010, Weiss continued playing football as a student-athlete at TCNJ. He just finished his
senior season as a defensive lineman
and leader on the team for quarter
back sacks. Academically, Jake has a
3.9 GPA while earning his varsity letter; has been named to the NJAC AllAcademic Team for four straight
years; and is recognized as a TCNJ
Scholar Athlete, which recognizes all
student-athletes that maintain a 3.3
GPA or higher.
As a co-winner of the Earl H.
Dean Scholar-Leader Athlete Award
for 2014, Weiss will be honored at
the Hyatt Regency in Princeton,

onMarch 8, 2015, at the 53rd scholarathlete banquet hosted by the
Delaware Valley Chapter of the
National Football Foundation and
College Hall of Fame, the premier
event for the chapter.
Held annually in March, the dinner attracts over 450 football enthusiasts, including top-student athletes
from high schools representing six
counties in the NJ Delaware Valley,
as well as top performers from TCNJ
and Princeton University. The mission of the National Football
Foundation & College Hall of Fame
is to promote and develop the power
of amateur football in developing the
qualities of leadership, sportsmanship, competitive zeal and the drive
for academic excellence in America's
young people.
TCNJ is a Division III School that
participates in NCAA Football and is
a member of the NJAC (New Jersey
Athletic Conference).

Sheriff's Office Says Its Case, Requesting Additional Funding From The County, Will Continue
By Ejvind Boccolini
or the second year in a
the
Morris
row,
County
Sheriffs
Office spent over $1,150,000
training new officers who
were hired to fill the spots of
those who have left the
agency for higher paying
jobs at other law enforcement agencies throughout the
county. This is a huge drain
on the county fiscally as well
as with regards to the productivity on behalf of the agency

which serves as THE shared
supportive service agency for
the 39 towns in this county.
This mass departure is
almost completely due to the
MCSO being the lowest paid
agency in the county. In the
last three years, our training
hours/costs have quadrupled
and that is a cost that can not
be ignored and must be
remedied. From a business

perspective or even a tax
payers perspective, it makes
far more sense to pay the
officers a compensation that
is competitive with others in
their industry to keep the talent...than it is to continually
train new officers and drain
our funds. From a law
enforcement perspective,
assuring the safety of those
who work and visit the court-
house, serving warrants,

finding missing persons,
fighting the war on drugs,
preventing and solving
crimes, professionally and
respectfully securing the jail,
it is paramount to retain talent. Without talent, crimes
and lawsuits will run rampant in the county. The
MCSO has earned the ranking of being in the top 1% of
the 3,083 Sheriffs Offices in
the country. This is what
Morris County residents
expect and deserve.
For the past four years the
county has been saying they
have to keep the budgets low.
In fact, in two of the past four
years our officers and
employees took a zero percent increase, and in the
other two years took less than
a 2% raise to accommodate
the Freeholders concern
about the health of the
county with a gentlemens
agreement that the county
would find some way to
repay them when the county
was fiscally healthier.

As far as the other entities
within the county we are
not aware of a similar retention problem elsewhere and
the gravity of an inexperienced employee in many
other entities within the
county are not as severe as
are those in law enforcement.
An inexperienced officer or
not enough officers can have
devastating results.
As
Sheriff, it is his responsibility
and Constitutional duty to
ensure the health of this
agency.
Recently we learned that
the County has built up a war
chest of over $55 million dollars in surplus. Historically,
Morris County has averaged
between $15 and $25 million
in surplus and that was
regarded as healthy. In an
effort to retain employees I
wanted to provide some
additional form of compensation to keep them here. The
employee incentive total of
$612,000 is significantly
Sheriff Rochford
lower than the $1,150,000 I

had to pay to replace the officers.
Todays Judges OTSC
(Order To Show Cause) decision didnt dismiss this case,
it merely dissolved the
restraints, which we believe
is contrary to the statute and
is contrary to the Bergen
County Sheriffs Appellate
Court decision explaining the
law. However, simply put,
the decision was ultimately
to make the decision after
more information is provided, therefore the case will
continue.

The chamber drive this year collected over
5300 pounds of food and over $2000 in monetary and gift card donations. Indeed, the
amount of food collected through this drive
has steadily increased over the past several
years due to a higher demand and the generosity of people who care. In 2005, when
demand was not as high, the organization
collected 820 pounds.

Our thanks to all who have participated in
this years Chamber - and now community food drive, said Jeff Stadelman, a member
of the Chamber and Co-Chair of the food
drive. It is a great effort by our community
to aid those less fortunate.

blind. With great courage, Sehwani has dealt
with the disorder with a positive attitude and
has now reached out to others through his
foundation by trying to provide the support
that he did not receive at first.
I felt more lost and confused than I was
scared, Sehwani explains when he started to
lose his vision. I was very upset about it,
needed some ground on how I was going to
handle it. I felt like I had to plan ahead. I felt
this was the last couple of months with my eye
sight.
In the beginning, Sehwani says he had a
really hard time in high school getting the help
I needed; faculty was very negative, they didnt want to deal with what was going on. The
principal of the school told him youre better off not going to school because its not
going to happen.
Sehwani had been in an advanced program
in high school at the time, called the IB program, but because of its strict requirements
and Sehwanis sudden disability with his
depleting eye sight, he was moved out of that
program and placed in the general core program.
I wasnt able to get extra time on tests, he
says. I wasnt able to get an extra 30 minutes
to read or to magnify. Sehwani says he had
requested electronic books and extra aid to use
during his class but no one was willing to do

it. Everything I asked for, they considered it
cheating. It was a very bad position for me to
be in at the time.
When it came time for the SATs, Sehwani
says he missed out since he couldnt use magnifiers. He ended up taking the test with a
scribe over a two-day period.
On Jan. 3, 2012, Sehwani considers that
date the official day when he lost his sight
because that was that day I lost my drivers
license. From that point on it became a deteriorating process, slow eye sight drop and had
to use a cane. He was considered legally blind
in Fl., which means if eyesight is 20/80 one is
legally blind. Legally blind also is used when
a person becomes blind later in life rather than
being blind at birth, he explains.
Also, he found that the Division Blind
Services (DBS) helped only individuals that
were almost fully blind.
Sehwani says I was in the center. I could
see but couldnt see fully. Theres black and
white; black Im blind, white I can see, but
theres the gray. Sehwani was in the gray.
This negativity drove me to make something happen, says Sehwani. I really wanted
to make a difference in the community where
its gray. Ive always wanted to help people,
just didnt know how. When this hit me, I
never knew where to start so I started with rare
disabilities and diseases. I felt mistreated by it;

I was treated unfairly.
He sat down with his parents and figured
out what we needed to do. With their help, he
got verified by the state and filed for a tax
exempt organization. He spent six months
planning this out.
It was during the summer of his senior year
in high school, when Sehwani decided to start
his concept of his Dreamscape Foundation.
With his creative ability and passion for art,
Sehwani held his first fundraiser Landscapewith his paintings and drawings. Held from
Aug. 2013 to Oct. 2013, Sehwani was trading
donations for his art, and raised $5,000 to
begin his foundation.

Despite his struggles, Sehwani pushed
through and got to college. It was tough. He
is currently studying business administration
with a minor in computers. At Seton Hall,
they give me everything I need.
Up until now, his eyesight has stabilized,
he says. He is ok in common areas, but in
new areas, requires a cane. The LHON
impacted his central vision and his peripheral
vision is strained.
If you stare at your palm, thats gone,
explains Sehwani. Surrounding is blurred
and strained. If you are writing something and
continued on next page
Brighter Future...

looked away, thats exhausting.
Sehwani uses technology like a lot of magnifiers, closed circuit television, and voice
over software. My best friend is my computer; I can magnify it, says Sehwani.
To maintain his independence, Sehwani
says he gets around college all on his own
without an aid.
LHON is considered a rare genetic disorder. When Sehwani was looking for a diagnosis, he says no doctor really knew what was
happening. They only read about it. They
never experienced it first-hand. That was frustrating.
LHON impacts about 100 people in the
United States and 35,000 people in the world
each year. Improvement usually happens
within two to three years but does not always
happen. There is currently no treatment, no
medicine.
Theres not a lot of knowledge on what it
is and what the cure is to prevent it, he says.
It is these rare diseases and disabilities that
do need extra funding and support to find a
cure or provide resources for victims to turn to
for help.
Through the Dreamscape Foundation,
Sehwanis hopes to make a difference in
someones life and inspire others to do the
same; provide knowledge and resources for
individuals to help them live comfortably and

succeed; and raise funds and contribute to
research and development of cures for rare
disabilities and diseases.
The foundation provides individuals with
scholarships, job aids, education accommodations, health aids and all amenities to help
them succeed in life. So far the foundation
has helped with LHON, Down Syndrome,
HIV AIDS, Cystic Fibrosis, Cancer, multiple
sclerosis, muscular dystrophy, Ebola,
Diabetes, Autism and Usher Syndrome.
This past year, the foundation sponsored
a Toy Drive from Nov. through Dec. 15,
donating toys to various locations such as
Mt. Olive Child Center, PEAK,
Hackettstown Head Start program, Toys for
Tots and MJ Media Toy Drive.
The foundation also held a 12-hour
Holiday Dream Stream on Dec. 20, which
raised more than $2,000 for children and
families in orphanages, churches, and more.
There are a lot of people during the holidays that dont get gifts, that dont have a
family. It was nice to see these kids when I
brought them toys and gifts. It made my holiday, says Sehwani.
Funds through the Dream Charity
Streams are raised in a variety of ways such
as on-line game playing, special guests,
questions and answers and voice actors.
Sehwani held a recent charity stream with

a GoFundMe page for a three-year old girl,
Emily, diagnosed with stage four neuroblastoma, the most common extracranial solid
cancer in childhood, in order to help the
family financially.
They needed someone to sponsor the
event, says Sehwani. I was able to help.
He set up a donation page on Nov. 15, 2014,
and the community came through to raise
$2,000 to help the family with the financial
burden.
Sehwani has also relied on Google and
Amazon for support with his online
fundraising events. When people are shopping online, for example, Amazon will
donate a portion of the funds to Dreamscape
through its Amazon Smile program.
Contributions have been from all over,
says Sehwani, reaching 12,000 people on
Facebook and 10,000 on twitter. I had 800
people donating to someone they never met
in their life, he says. There are a lot of
good people who are willing to help.
Sehwani encourages even more people to
contribute or volunteer.
Any help is good help to me, says
Sehwani, who appreciates creative
ways.
Visit
his
webpage
atwww.Dreamscapefoundation.com, click
on the volunteer link to fill out a form
whether through fundraising, a campaign,

talent or to share ideas for events.
Sehwani is a strong supporter of creativity encouraging unique and different ways
to raise funds and support whether through
art work, music, video games; community;
and showing where he sends his proceeds.
I wanted to be completely transparent,
says Sehwani. I want to keep a sense of
community and let all contributors know
that their ideas are being incorporated. I
wanted to make it the peoples charity.
Creating this foundation has not only
helped others, but it has given Sehwani the
strength to carry on.
I was told dont go to school, but when
I created this organization, I made sure to let
those people know what I did. They were
part of my life. But, if youre going to tell
me I couldnt do something, Im going to
prove you wrong. I couldve been upset
about it, but I chose to make a difference out
of it.
I didnt want other people to experience
what I felt, continues Sehwani. Creating the
foundation, it gave me a sense of closure. I
was rebellious; I needed to find that common ground. If my eye sight did get better,
its ok, but if it didnt, its ok too because it
helped a lot of people in the process.
Lace Day Passing on the Tradition of Handmade Lace
By Elsie Walker
ottie Wolfe of Stanhope learned
how to make lace from a neighbor
who didnt want the skill to die, and
so wanted to pass it on.
On Saturday,
February 7th, from 10:00 am 4:00 pm,
Wolfe will now be the one to pass on the
skill as part of Lace Day at Harmony Lodge
#8 on 519 Route 206 in Newton. The event
is sponsored by the Lost Art Lacers of North
Jersey, a group dedicated to keeping alive
the art of handmade lace. This is the organizations 30th annual Lace Day, which will
include demonstrations, exhibits, and workshops on lace making. There will be workshops for both children and adults, with
adults workshops on Sunday. For more
information, see the organizations site at
www.lostartlacers.org
On Lace Day, members of the Lost Art
Lacers will share their skills in making various types of lace. Wolfe shared that members will be bringing their latest projects
and doing demonstrations on those. There
are many varieties of handmade lace. For
example, Wolfes specialty is tatting, a type
of lace made using knotting and loops.
Shell be teaching beginning tatting.
While many may picture lace as only an
embellishment for garments or handkerchiefs, it can be used in making a variety of

things.
I make Christmas ornaments, of course,
and lots of lace collars. This past year, I discovered ruffle yarn for making scarves
thats a lot of fun, and they look nice, too,
Wolfe shared. She also makes tatted jewelry.
Her work has won ribbons at past State
Fairs and 2014 was no exception. Wolfe
won a blue ribbon for a yellow and lavender
tatted necklace and, because they thought so
highly of it, she was recognized by the
judges with a special ribbon for a crocheted
necklace.
How does Wolfe come up with the ideas
for her pieces?
There are many patterns available for
making various pieces of lace jewelry, but
generally I see something on tv that I like
and design a piece using those colors.
Sometimes, I will see something in a store,
and, not having enough money to purchase
that item, Ill come home and dig out some
thread and beads and make something like
it. I go by a house and like the color combination and decide to make something in
those colors. Also, there are many patterns
and tutorials available on the internet,

which has become a great asset, Wolfe
said.
She usually adds an embellishment to the
jewelry. She generally picks what appeals
to her but finds that glass beads give a better finish than acrylic ones. Pretty buttons
work, too.
Wolfe shared that making tatted jewelry
takes one or two tatting shuttles and a small
crochet hook for joining the picots (loops of
thread). Crocheted jewelry takes a crochet
hook in the correct size. Wolfe approximates that it takes probably 6-8 hours to
make a necklace. She says its hard to tell
for sure because she works on one here and
there when she has time.
A member of the Lost Art Lacers for 20
years, Wolfe shared what she enjoys about
lacemaking:
I would like to say that its relaxing, but
it isnt always, especially when things go
wrong. Lacemakers are a very small community, so we all know each other and we
make friends easily and have lots of good
times. I love working with different colors
and textures, so thats part of it too.
On Lace Day, Wolfe and the rest of the
Lost Art Lacers will be playing it forward,

Wolfe.
doing what others did for them in showing

people how to make lace.
Its great when someone asks me to
show them how to make something,
because of course, we are all committed to
passing on our skills. Thats part of the purpose of Lace Day. We have fun ourselves,
but its also a time to learn new skills and
pass them on,

Sandshore Students Kick Off School Day With Fitness Program
By Cheryl Conway
ore and more elementary school students are extending
their day- both before and
after school-by getting
involved in extra programs
such as chorus, band,
advanced art, academic
courses, extra help and even
fitness.
Close to 20 kids are at
Sandshore School in Budd
Lake at 8 a.m.participating in
A.M. Fit Kids, a fairly new
program through the Morris
County Arts Workshop in
Chester. In its second year,
A.M. Fit Kids is a physical
education class that reinforces healthy choices, skills,
games and interaction in a
multi-aged group setting.
With longer days for those
students who do participate
in before and after school
activities, ranging from 8
a.m. to 5 p.m., starting off the
school day by exercising has
its benefits.
Its a great way to start
your day with exercise, says
Kit Thompson, physical edu-
cation teacher at Sandshore

who runs the A.M. Fit Kids
program along with David
Misener, special education
teacher. We talk about
healthy eating habits and get
kids moving to start their day.
These kids need to start their
day energizing their metabolism. When they get in the
classroom, it improves their
listening, their mood. They
leave here in a much better
mood and are able to concentrate.
Nicole Musarra, principal
of Sandshore School, says
Physical activity helps children develop motor skills
and coordination. It can also
help children feel good about
themselves, both physically
and mentally. Our students
are more alert in school,
which in turn is putting them
in the optimal position to
learn!
Thompson, who has
taught the program at
Sandshore since it started,
has witnessed how beneficial
the program has been to the
students.
Ive seen the positive

benefits to kids who are slow
to get moving in the morning, says Thompson. It gets
their engine flowing; oxygen
to the brain. One student
who was late to school every
day had signed up for her
program, and although even
late for her program, he was
atleast on time for homeroom. Over time it had a
really positive effect on the
student, because after
while the student insisted on
being on time for class.
In its second year, A.M.
Fit Kids has been offered at
some of the Mt. Olive elementary schools since the fall
2013. This year, only
Sandshore and Mt. View
schools are offering the program because of fewer participants interested at the
other schools, explains
Thompson. A teacher at Mt.
View, who used to teach the
program in Mendham, introduced the program to the Mt.
Olive
schools,
says
Thompson.
At Sandshore this fall,
about 18 kids participated in

the four day program before
school. With so much more
focus on tested areas such as
reading, math and language
arts, a lot of the fun courses
such as chorus, band, gifted
and talented art have been
removed from the regular
school day and are now
being offered before and
after school.
The student day has
increased, says Thompson.
They took out a lot of programs and have them before
school. Students who want to
take advantage of all the special programs have a long
day.
More programs are being
held in the morning because
this provides additional
opportunities to become
involved, says Musarra.
Weve seen a very good
attendance in all before
school programs. We try to
be as accommodating as possible. A lot of times, after
school, students have other
engagements such as boy
scouts, girl scouts, dancing,
sports and religion, so the

morning is the only available
time for them to participate.
Theres a shift, explains
Musarra in the regular school
day regarding those extra
classes. Before, students
would get pulled out of their
regular classes to participate
in choir, band or G&T art.
It enables students to still
participate in academic programs throughout the school
day instead of missing content, says Musarra. Its less
pull out so they dont miss
the key academics. Students
can be well rounded, still
participate in everything,
without missing their core
curriculum.
They have the opportunity to participate in these
programs without having to
sacrifice from anything else,
says Musarra.
Although it takes commitment to get to an extra
program earlier in the morning, before school programs
can be a plus.
Offering more programs
in the morning is a benefit to

good built-in supervised play date, says
Thompson. Held 8 a.m. to 8:45 a.m., students
in grades kindergarten through fifth, attend a
multi-age interaction session, which is a positive environment for young and older kids.
Older kids are good role models and
helpers and younger kids like being with the
older kids, says Thompson. Its really a
nice blend.
At A.M. Fit Kids, students warm up, participate in a skill challenge, discuss healthy
habits when it comes to eating and exercise,
and play games and other group activities.

We work as a group so its team challenges, says Thompson.
Parents pay based on the number of days
their child participates in the A.M. Fit Kids
program, which varies since some students
miss a day or two to attend chorus, G&T Art
or any of the other extra-curricular before
school programs.
Theres pros and cons, says Thompson.
When you are nine or ten years old, thats a
long day.
CCM Student, 91-Year-Old Ira Kaplan, Thrives in Intro to Film Course
ra Kaplan, 91 years old from Clifton,

came to County College of Morris (CCM)
during the Fall 2014 Semester to take Dr.
Matthew Jones Introduction to Film class.
Kaplan was already well introduced to cinematography, given that his father had owned
a chain of New Jersey movie theaters during
the early 20th century, but he wanted to study
early film in an academic setting.
They called my father the Movie
King, said Kaplan. He was a movie
exhibitor and owned five movie houses that I
knew of.
Jones was thrilled to have Kaplans depth
and breadth of knowledge on the subject of
film enhancing the classroom experience for
students. He supplemented whatever subject
was being discussed in class with his own
personal experiences and things he had
learned about movies through the years,
noted Jones.
Kaplans presence added an extra layer of
richness to class discussions, especially when
the class watched movies from the World War
II era such as Citizen Kane.
When we watched Citizen Kane, a quintessential film class film that I am very
familiar with, Ira knew very specific details
about the careers of people who were in the
film that I did not know, said Jones.
One day Dr. Jones asked if anybody
knew who the cinematographer of Citizen
Kane was, recalled Kaplan, who audited the
class as a non-credit student. I never put up
my hand because I knew these kids were

there for credit. No one knew the answer, so I
raised my hand and said, Gregg Toland. I
think that impressed him, said Kaplan.
Born in 1923, Kaplan learned about the
film industry endeavors of his father, Ike
Kaplan, largely through his sister, Ann, who
was born in 1908. Ann, who lived to be 100
years old, was a cashier for the family theater
business.
After Ann died, I was going through her
stuff and I found my fathers application for
United States citizenship from the year 1914.
He was from Lithuania. Under occupation, he
wrote movie operator, said Kaplan.
Among Anns other belongings, Kaplan
came across a newspaper article from his
fathers heyday. The document revealed that
Ikes acquisition of the Star Theater in
Cliffside elevated him to new heights. It mentioned the installation of a $20,000 pipe organ
and other splendid features, including a
handsomely redecorated movie house. The
article refers to him as the Marcus Loew of
New Jersey, who was a motion picture theater magnate from New York and went on to
create Metro-Goldwin-Mayer. Ikes goal was
to make sure his theaters featured, everything that Broadway affords with the exception of their high prices.
You have to remember that back in those
days, there was no television or even radio,
said Kaplan. The only real entertainment for
the mass public, besides theater on Broadway,
was the movies.

Kaplan now plans to take the History of
the Theatre course at CCM.
The most essential function of a college
is that it is an aggregator, or a place where
people who wouldnt normally interact are
put into situations where they can react, said

Jones. Out of this union comes creativity
and new ideas.
The youngsters were very nice, said
Kaplan. I think they accepted me.

Thomas Edison and Albert Einstein NJ Residents That Were The 20th Centurys Model Image of Genius
by Michele Guttenberger
oth Thomas Edison and Albert Einstein spent the
twilight years of their lives until their death calling
New Jersey their home. Thomas Edison lived in
West Orange, NJ and Albert Edison lived in Princeton NJ.
These were two faces that the world found fascination to
photograph and made the trek to these legendary New
Jersey home locations. However, Edison and Einstein were
worlds apart on how they viewed their fame and how they
wanted to be immortalized.
Albert Einsteins final years left him uneasy about his
uninvited public fame. He became weary of the press interviews and being photographed. A famous photo captured
these sentiments. In 1951, on Einsteins 71st birthday after
a marathon of press photographers, he bade to ruin a UPI
photographers image of himself by sticking out his tongue.
This facial spoof backfired on him. The photo became one
of the 20th centurys most popular iconic images. Einstein
was never entirely comfortable with his pedestal of fame.

He did not desire any monuments to be built in his honor.
Einstein realized that his grave site would undoubtedly
become a place of pilgrimage. Therefore, he requested that
his body was to be cremated and to have his ashes scattered.
Albert Einstein was a stark contrast to Thomas Edisons
ego that indorsed his own fame. He used his iconic image
and signature to promote his enterprises to the masses. In
the final decades of his life, Edison had more free time to
entertain and welcome his close avid followers. After his
death, the Thomas Edison image was memorialized in the
US and other nations with dedicated monuments to him.
One most notable Edison monument was erected 1952. It
is a 12.5 foot bronze portrait bust of Thomas Alva Edison
located in Washington D.C. at the Naval Research
Laboratory. The honor to sculpt this prominent bust was
given to renowned artist Evelyn Beatrice Longman
(November 21, 1874 March 10, 1954). She was the first

Classics Reinvented
hen you are looking to serve up a

taste of yesteryear, look no further
than your pantry for a staple you
can incorporate into meals, including snacks,
breakfast, dinners and even desserts. Instant
white or brown rice and multi-grain blends
provide easy ways to put a fresh twist on traditional recipes your family knows and loves.
For a delicious, modern take on classic
family favorites, look for ways to integrate
current flavors that complement the original
recipe. Start new family mealtime traditions
with easy recipe makeovers. For example,
traditional broccoli, cheese and rice casserole
only gets better with bacon, and using quinoa
adds a subtle new texture. You can also give
your sweet potato casserole a lift with white
or brown rice for an updated take on this
revered dish.
Using a quick and wholesome ingredient
like fluffy Minute Rice saves cooking time so
you can transform your favorite recipes while
spending less time in the kitchen and more
time with loved ones.
These recipes demonstrate how to update
recipes from a frittata and casserole to dress-
ing and stuffing for new ways to enjoy the

classics.

Tips for Perfectly Grilled Vegetables
ne of the highlights of the summer

season is the incredible bounty of
fresh produce, and grilling these vegetables gives them a smoky, delicious dimension. Chef BBQ Naz, a grilling expert from
Broil King, shares some simple tips for flavor
perfection.
* When preparing vegetables, slice them
to expose as much of the vegetable to the grill
surface as you can.
* Coat vegetables with olive oil before
placing them on the grill. This will help prevent them from sticking to the grill.
* Use the right tool for the job.
Accessories like grill toppers and skewers are
perfect for keeping smaller foods like cherry
tomatoes and onions from rolling around or
falling through the grate.
* Don't leave vegetables unattended.
Vegetables are delicate and can easily overcook if not monitored.
* Grill extras. Leftover grilled vegetables
are great in soups, salads, sandwiches and on
pizzas and pasta.
When grilling vegetables, consider this
popular recipe.
Grilled Zucchini Rolls
3 medium zucchinis, sliced 1/4-inch thick,
lengthwise
1 tablespoon olive oil
4 ounces chevre (soft goat cheese), at room
temperature
Pinch of freshly ground black pepper
Pinch of kosher salt
2 tablespoons sun-dried tomatoes, oil-packed
and minced
1 teaspoon oil from the sun-dried tomatoes
1 teaspoon fresh thyme, minced
2 tbsp Parmesan cheese, freshly grated
Directions: Preheat the grill on medium.
Brush both sides of sliced zucchini with
olive oil and sprinkle with salt. Place on the
grill and cook for 4 minutes per side.
When cooked, set on a wire rack to cool.
In a small bowl, combine the chevre, salt,
pepper, sun-dried tomatoes, oil and thyme.
Using a small spatula, spread the cheese
mixture thinly over one side of the zucchini.
Lightly roll the zucchini, and place seam side
down on a small, parchment-lined baking
sheet. Sprinkle with Parmesan cheese. Place
baking sheet on top rack of the grill for 15
minutes. Remove to a platter and serve.

Fire Up Fellow Football Fans
The Super Bowl is nearly here, and that means scores of

football fans are readying themselves for a day spent fraternizing with friends and indulging in all of the great food
that has become synonymous with the biggest day in
American professional sports.
No football feast is complete without wings, and this year
Super Bowl party hosts can satisfy their guests' needs for
this beloved bar snack with the following recipe for
"Virgil's Smoked Chicken Wings With Blue Cheese Dip"
from Neal Corman's "Virgil's Barbecue Road Trip
Cookbook" (St. Martin's Press).
Virgil's Smoked Chicken Wings With Blue

Cheese Dip
Serves 4
Blue Cheese Dip
2 cups blue cheese crumbles, divided
1 cup mayonnaise
1/2 cup buttermilk
2 teaspoons hot sauce
1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
1/4 cup finely chopped scallions
1/4 cup finely chopped celery
Marinade
1/2 cup vegetable oil
1/2 cup hot sauce

4 tablespoons Virgil's Dry Rub (see below)
4 tablespoons granulated garlic
4 tablespoons granulated onion
Juice of 1/2 lemon
Wings
8 large chicken wings

1/2 cup Virgil's Dry Rub (see below)
Sauce
10 ,tablespoons unsalted butter
1 ,teaspoon cornstarch
4 ,tablespoons white vinegar
3/4 ,cup hot sauce
1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
1. To make the dip, combine 1 cup of the blue cheese,
mayonnaise, buttermilk, hot sauce, Worcestershire sauce,
and salt in the bowl of a food processor and blend on low
until smooth.
2. Remove to a medium mixing bowl and fold in the rest
of the blue cheese, scallions and celery, being sure to
break up the large blue cheese crumbles. Place in a covered container and refrigerate overnight.
3. Mix all the marinade ingredients in a large mixing
bowl. Place the wings in a large container with a lid and
pour the mixture over the wings. Toss until the wings are
thoroughly coated. Cover and refrigerate for 2 days.

4. Preheat the grill or smoker to 245 F.
5. Spread out the wings on a sheet pan and wipe away any
excess marinade. Sprinkle liberally with the dry rub, coating the wings all over.
6. Position the wings on the grill away from the direct heat
of the coals or burners, and add hickory to the smoker, or
place hickory chips on the coals or gas burners.
7. Cook the wings for about 3 hours, flipping every 30
minutes (their internal temperature should be about 165 F
when cooked).
8. While the wings are cooking, cut the butter for the
sauce into 1-inch cubes and refrigerate. Whisk the cornstarch into the white vinegar in a small bowl.
9. In a medium saut pan over medium heat, bring the hot
sauce to a simmer and whisk in the thickened vinegar.
Return to a simmer, cook for 1 minute, and remove from
the heat.
10. Add the cayenne and slowly whisk in the cold butter.
Keep warm until serving.
11. Remove the wings from the smoker or grill and put
half of them into a bowl, cover with the sauce, and toss.
Repeat with the remaining wings and serve on a platter,
with the blue cheese dip on the side.

Meat-free Meals
ome late winter, diners may notice

more meat-free selections available
on restaurant menus. That's thanks
to the Lenten season that precedes Easter
Sunday. During Lent, Christians traditionally abstain from eating meat on Fridays. Lent
is an ideal time for men and women looking
to get healthier to include more vegetables,
whole grains and seafood in their diets. Try
substituting ground beef with tofu, and
incorporate vegetables where meat may be

used. For example, layer lasagna with slices
of zucchini instead of filling it with sausage.
Plus, eat more fish. Research shows that
fish high in omega-3 fatty acids decreases
the risk of abnormal heartbeats, which can
lead to sudden cardiac death. Omega-3 fatty
acids also decrease triglyceride levels, slow
the growth rate of atherosclerotic plaque
and lower blood pressure.
