By Cara Connelly
lthough the United
States is regarded
as the worlds
wealthiest nation, nearly 15
percent of all American
households struggle to put
food on the table. Regionally speaking, no one is different than anyone else and
that means families in local
communities are affected
by this national plight.
Food pantries are one
way to help combat the
issue of hunger. Pantries
provide nutritious food to
residents as a supplement
to their regular food shopping. Food is donated by
community members and

Special celebrates its 24th continuous year of operation in 2015. Celebrate the wonderful Christmastime spirit
and joy with a ride on the Whippany Railway Museum's Santa Claus Special Nov.
29, Dec. 5, Dec. 6, Dec. 12 and Dec. 13.
Tickets for this annual Christmas tradition
make great gifts for the kids, and the entire
family.
The 10-mile, 45-minute round trip excursion from Whippany to Roseland and return allows passengers time to enjoy the
festivities of the season and the merriment
on the train. All past trips over the last 23
years have been complete sell-outs, and
seeing the excited faces of the children as
they climb aboard the Christmas Holidaydecorated trains, ensures an afternoon for
family fun.
During each excursion, Santa makes his
way through the train and visits with the
children onboard. Santa's helpers follow
along, giving the kids a special gift from
Santa. Be sure to bring a camera and take
pictures of the kids with Santa, so they can
always remember their day onboard the

train.

make up the train, purchase limited tickets
for a nostalgic Christmas ride aboard the
Museum's elegant 1927-era Central Railroad of New Jersey (CNJ) 'Club Car' Jersey
Coast. Specially decorated for the Christmas Holidays in a pre-World War II style,
the car has the warm look and feel of a private club with individual leather chairs, mahogany interior accented with stained glass,
built-in tables and period ceiling fans. The
Jersey Coast, recalls the 1930's when the
CNJ operated its deluxe coach train, The
Blue Comet, between Jersey City and Atlantic City. The striking, authentic exterior
paint scheme of cream and blue reminds
one of a comet streaking through space. It
is the only car of its type operating in NJ.

fun and laughter ! Ordering tickets is fast

Plans Growing For New Community Garden In Hanover

By Cheryl Conway
eep into the fall season and a chill in the air, not an
easy time to imagine fresh vegetables growing in
an open field but come next spring, the first seeds
may be sprouting at a new local Community Garden.
Plans are in fruition to establish a farm in Hanover to
not only provide an area for residents to grow fruits and
vegetables, but to provide fresh food to the Interfaith Food
Pantry as well as other nearby missions.
This will be collaborative effort for local residents and
as an outreach for those who need food, says Hanover
Township Mayor Ron Francioli.
A steering committee is being formed to work out the
logistics of establishing a community farm. After evaluating several properties that would be suitable for a community farm, Hanover officials identified several acres of land
adjacent to the Public Works Department as a good location.
The site would work well as its location is near water,
power and security it will need, says Francioli. The garden would be about one to one-and- a-half acres allowing
for about 100 to 150 planting plots.
We would clear it and prepare it, says Francioli.
The mayor cited other towns in the area that also have a
community farm; they have been exploring those farms to
get ideas for their community garden.

Morris Plains has a great farm, says Francioli. They


give food to the Interfaith Food Pantry. Budd Lake also
has a farm as well as Morris Township.
Hanover is looking at all those sites, says Francioli.
The Interfaith Food Pantry is one of the largest missions
supported by county funding, explains Francioli as to why
the garden would also want to support the pantry. Through
the Interfaith Food Pantry, 5,000 families are provided with
food, counseling and shelter throughout the county.
The Hanover Community Garden would serve fresh
fruit and vegetables to those who are serviced by the Interfaith Food Pantry.
We can provide food to other missions as well, says
Francioli.
The first meeting of the new steering committee was
scheduled for the end of October. Committee members will
be from various groups in town including church groups,
rotary, senior citizens, Knights of Columbus.
We are preparing letters to more formal groups, says
Francioli. We can have involvement of literally hundreds
of residents and clubs involved.
Once we involve them, we might be prepared by spring
to start something, says Francioli. That would be my
hope.
The committee will have to set some rules such as fees
and how much each plot owner will have to donate to the

mission.
Those are things the steering committee are going to
have to arm wrestle out, he says.
Anyone who is a resident is invited to get involved.
Farmers and experts in the field are also invited to help start
plotting for the new garden.
Some people from the Interfaith Food Pantry will be
farming for them, says Francioli, as well as agriculturalists.
The Whippanong Garden Club is currently seeking new
member volunteers to help plant flowers and shrubs to help
beautify municipal grounds and decorate outside town hall
for a festive holiday season.

Students Dress Up For Respect At Junior School

eginning Mon., Oct. 5, Memorial Junior School in


Hanover celebrated The Week of Respect by
holding the second annual MJS Color Games.
Throughout the week, students and staff participated in
school spirit dress-up days to stand together against Harassment, Intimidation, and Bullying. To help promote the
significance of The Week of Respect, students took part
in a t-shirt design contest, sponsored by the Hanover Township Substance Awareness Committee.
The winning design, by seventh grader, Sayoni Bandyopadhyay, was printed on t-shirts, pink for sixth grade, blue

Why not start a new family tradition and spend some
time volunteering at a food pantry, soup kitchen or start a
food pantry drive? Get kids involved for a hands-on lesson
in giving back to the community. Remember, one in six
Americans, at some point, are impacted by hunger.
Chances are someone in every neighborhood, community
or Church will be impacted. The need is year round, volunteers are always sought and, every donation counts.

CIEE Welcomes International Students,


Looks For Host Families

IEE, Council on International Educational Exchange, is looking for


host families to open their hearts
and homes to welcome an international exchange student into their community for the
second semester of the school year. Students will be arriving in January. Students
hail from all over the globe and are eager to
learn about the United States, become a
member of an American family, community
and school.
This program provides an opportunity
for host families to form lifelong relationships and unforgettable memories. More
than 1,400 CIEE high school students arrive in the U.S. each year.
Students live with host families, attend
high school, and become true members of
their new families and communities.
Students participating in the exchange
are between 15 18 years of age, have studied English for a minimum of three years,
have their own medical insurance and
spending money and have undergone a
thorough personal screening and interview
process. Many of these students arrive in

the U.S. with dreams of participating in


clubs, sports, arts, music and other activities
as most foreign schools have none. They return to their native land with improved English skills, a sense of independence and
self-confidence, more maturity and a better
global understanding.
Most importantly they will have made
American relationships that will last forever.
The CIEE is a non-profit, non-governmental organization committed to helping
people gain understanding, acquire knowledge, and develop skills for living in a globally interdependent and culturally diverse
world. Founded in 1947, CIEE has become
a worldwide leader in international education
and
exchanges.
Visit
www.ciee.org/highschool for more information.
To participate or to request more information on this rewarding intercultural experience, contact: Holly Rausch, local
coordinator, 973-271-6166 ; writeholly

Learn How To Make Latkes


With Fresh Ingredients

eth Fields of Livingston, a member


of National Council of Jewish
Women (NCJW), West Morris Section, will present a special latke-making
program using "real food" on Sun., Nov. 29,
at 11 a.m. at a private home in Dover.
Called "Seasonal Latkes," the program is
free and open to all members and prospective members. Among the ingredients
Fields will be usingdepending on what's
available at her local farmer's marketare
carrots, sweet potatoes, zucchini, beets, and
even apples. Participants will all have a
chance to sample the seasonal latkes, which
are traditional for Hanukka.
Fields loves to cook. And she loves to
eat. But she loves to cook and eat real food,
as distinguished from so-called "edible
food-like" substances. So she seeks out the
produce and products of local purveyors at
local farmer's markets and local farms. Because she is concerned about the sustainability and health of bodies and the planet,
seasonal, local produce is always her first
choice.

Traditions behind holiday gifts


holidays into what they are today.

he holiday season is a time to celebrate with


friends and family. Several holidays are celebrated in this relatively short time period, making
this one of the most festive times of the year.
Many holiday celebrations focus on the exchange of
presents, which may be exchanged with relatives,
friends and even coworkers. But are you familiar with
the origins of exchanging gifts?
Gift exchanges trace their origins to both religious and
secular traditions, each of which has helped shape the

Christmas
People exchange gifts on Christmas Eve or Christmas
Day all over the world. For Christians, Christmas celebrates the birth of Jesus Christ, who Christians believe
was a gift from the Creator.
From a religious standpoint, gifting others around
Christmastime can be traced back to the stories of the
Three Kings (also referred to as the Three Wise
Men) who visited Jesus after his birth. Frankincense,
a fragrance involved in worship; gold; and myrrh, an
incense associated with funerals, was presented. These
gifts symbolized worship in Christ, that He would be
the King of Kings, and that suffering and death would
come to Him.
Another giver of gifts is part of many Christmas celebrations. St. Nicholas, a fourth century saint, is a
beloved figure across the globe who has a reputation
for giving gifts in secret and helping the needy. The
figure of Santa Claus is based on St. Nicholas, and
the blending of the two has evolved as history has
mixed with folklore and personal traditions.
Hanukkah
Hanukkah is an eight-day Jewish celebration that commemorates the rededication of the Temple in
Jerusalem. The word hanukkah actually means
dedication in Hebrew.

The Jews, including Judah Maccabee, helped drive the


Syrians out of Jerusalem. In one of Judaisms most
central texts, Maccabee and others witnessed a miracle
at the temple. Even though there was only enough oil
to keep a menorahs candles burning for one day, the
flames continued for eight nights.
Traditionally, gelt, or money, was given as a
Hanukkah gift. Many Hanukkah gift givers aim to
give gifts that are thoughtful and sweet. Money is not
exchanged as much today, with other gifts taking its
place.

Kwanzaa
Kwanzaa is an American holiday that pays homage to
traditions and cultural influences from Africa. The holiday was developed in 1966 by Maulana Ndabezitha
Karenga. The focus of Kwanzaa is on family and the
harvest as well as certain principles, such as unity and
faith.
Gifts make up one of the seven symbols of Kwanzaa
celebrations. However, gift-sharing is not the central
part of this special holiday. Gifts are symbolic of the
labor and love of parents and the commitments made
and kept by their children.
Gifts are exchanged in abundance this time of year.
The traditions behind the giving of presents is farreaching and based in religious, secular and cultural
traditions.

Two Dogs Looking For New Home As Owner Too Sick To Care

leventh Hour Rescue receives many pleas to help


dogs in need from all over the United States. Some
stories touch hearts deeply. This is one of those stories. It is also another example of how Eleventh Hour Rescue finds the beauty and love in pets that other shelters or
rescues ignore or choose to discard.
Meet Machin and Newman, a bonded pair of pups who
need an angel to step in and rescue them together now that
their Dad, Richard, is too sick to care for them. He has tried
but has been unable to find someone who would adopt
them locally in Florida, so Eleventh Hour Rescue of Rockaway is stepping in to take them into their care and find a
special place where they can continue to be together. It is
hard enough for them to lose their Dad, Eleventh Hour
does not want them to lose each other, too. They love each
other so much that they actually like being in a large crate
together.
Help keep them together so that their story has a happy
ending. Machin is a gorgeous female Black Lab mix, about
4 years old. She has a curled tail and a spotted front leg so
perhaps there is some Dalmatian or Pointer mixed in her.
She is extremely devoted to her person and really wants to
please. She knows the basics like sit, stay, and down. She
is both house and crate trained. She would make an excellent companion for a vet with PTSD or an active person because she is very attentive and loving. She takes corrections

EORGES &

immediately, too. She is a total love bug and likes to snuggle with people. She would love older kids shes a little
too energetic for younger ones and might knock them over
in her excitement. She should be the top dog in her new
home and not be placed with small dogs or cats shes a
little too interested in them. If someone is looking for a running companion, she would love that.
Newman is a senior hound eight to nine years old. He
doesn't act like a senior because he has plenty of energy but
can still be a very mellow dog. He enjoys the outdoors,
would love a fenced in yard for hanging out, but prefers the
comfort of a soft bed or couch. He gets excited for outings
in the car and loves dinner time. He has a well-rounded,
gentle and loving spirit and has been friendly with all visitors. He seems fine with small dogs but do not suggest a
home with cats. Newman does not demand a lot of attention
but he does love human and animal companionship. He
looks for Machin to cuddle with.
It is asking a lot for someone to take two large dogs into
their home, but Machin and Newman look to each other for
comfort and we are hoping that someone somewhere can
open their heart to both of these dogs. Their Dad will have
peace of mind knowing that these dogs will be kept together which will ease their transition from one living situation to another. To meet them, complete an application
to adopt them and be sure to mention their names - Machin

More Strides Made To Raise Awareness And Funds For Rare Disease

By Cheryl Conway
ike the rainbow in the sky that morning, hundreds of
runners and walkers throughout the state stretched
across Central Park of Morris County in Morris Plains
to raise awareness and funds to support research of a rare
disease.
On Sat., Oct. 31, families and supporters of those affected
by Creutzfeldt - Jakob disease (CJD) participated in The
First Annual Strides for CJD 5k Run/Walk. Sponsored by
the CJD Foundation in NY, the event allowed families and
friends to pay tribute to their loved ones and raise awareness
of CJD, a rare neurodegenerative disease that has no treatment or cure.
For the one person in every million worldwide that has
been affected by CJD, strides have been made as effective
outreach whether through support groups, helpline, referrals,
caregiving information, family workshops and medical education to those touched by CJD. The walk allowed victims
loved ones to gather and show their strength through solidarity.
"The outpouring of emotion was overwhelming at the
Strides for CJD event," said Sandy Ghezzi of Morris Township and CJD Advocate and volunteer. "Families came from
near and far with children, aunts, uncles, friends and even
the family pets to celebrate the lives of their loved ones and
show their support toward finding a cure for CJD."
The vibrant rainbow that shined above participants magnified the events purpose.
There was a rainbow at the event! And it didn't even

rain that day, so it was unexpected, says Ghezzi. One of


the attendees I spoke to at the family photo display/message
board area was a man from Morris Plains. Peter lost his
beloved wife to CJD in the past six months. He pointed out
the rainbow to me and said those we lost were with us that
day; the rainbow was proof they were looking down on us,
smiling.
In its debut walk by the CJD Foundation, Strides for CJD
events were also held in 10 cities throughout the United
States such as Atlanta; Chicago; Cleveland; Colorado; Maryland; Minneapolis; Arizona and Southern California. With
less government funding to support research for rare diseases
and the market condition, a greater effort has been executed
to promote awareness and additional funding for research
into CJD. Organizers hope to continue the walk annually.
"We were thrilled to see such a large turnout for the first
ever Strides for CJD event in New Jersey," said Ghezzi.
"What warmed my heart was to see the families and friends
who attended so eager to talk with each other and donate to
the cause. This is a strong community that has bonded
around CJD and is committed to supporting each other and
finding a cure."
According to a press release from the CJD Foundation,
CJD is caused by prions, proteins that can misfold in the
brain, with devastating effects, including rapid mental and
physical deterioration. CJD is the most common of the
prion diseases.
Families affected by prion diseases like CJD can sometimes feel that theyre the only one, said Debbie Yobs, CJD

with one another, and raise awareness in their communities
about the devastating impact of CJD and the need for support, education, and research.
Proceeds will support the CJD Foundations General
Fund, which supports advocacy, medical education, family
support and research programs.
CJD advances at a brutally rapid pace, Yobs said.

or months before the diagnosis. But CJD
progresses so aggressively that the family
scrambles to get a diagnosis, while the disease rushes ahead. Thats why its so important for us to educate medical professionals
about the disease and to raise awareness,
provide family support, and spur research.
Ghezzi, who lost her father in 1998 to
CJD, says Theres no treatment; theres no
cure. When you get a diagnosis its 100 percent fatal. Theres nothing they can give you;
theres nothing they can take.
Ghezzis father Ed Mjos of Minneapolis,
MN, died on Aug. 25, 1998 at the age of 73,
only four weeks after being diagnosed with
sporadic CJD.
He started developing symptoms, four
months prior, explains Ghezzi. His walking
was not steady, his legs would shake and he
ended up going blind in the end. Because
CJD is in the brain, body functions get affected. Her father died of malnutrition as he
was unable to swallow.
It happened quickly, says Ghezzi. It
was a rapid deterioration of bodily functions. It was frightening for us. He was very
active; he was a speed walker as a member
of the Twin City race Walkers Club where

he lived. Bridge player, joke teller, active


Lions Club member, all around good guy,
and all of a sudden his eyes got big, he
was losing balance, starting using a cane,
then he started walking into walls, using
a walker then a wheelchair. Rapid dementia
as well as short term memory set in.
Ghezzi recalls making appointments with
doctors, but they would say he was older;
hes getting dementia or Alzheimers.
Ghezzi did not give up and instead brought
him to the Mayo Clinic in Minnesota.
They did 63 tests in one day, recalls
Ghezzi. At that time the Mayo Clinic doctors
had seen only 25 previous cases. It was only
until they received her fathers brain tissue
from his autopsy that doctors were able to
diagnose with absolute certainty that Mjos
had sporadic CJD.
Diagnosis of CJD starts with clinical observation and process of elimination of other
diseases, according to information provided
by the CJD Foundation. First, more likely
and treatable diseases are ruled out. When
CJD is suspected, the next step is for a qualified professional experienced with CJD to
read an MRI and check cerebral spinal fluid
for protein indicators, to confirm the preliminary diagnosis. Post mortem, a brain au-

topsy is the only way to positively confirm


the CJD diagnosis.
Ghezzi says, Its frightening; its hard to
know where to go when a loved one becomes suddenly affected. There are resources out there. If theres something that
doesnt seem right, seek medical professionals; try a different source.
To help provide support to other families
affected by CJD and spread information and
awareness, Ghezzi has become a patient advocate.
Actively volunteering 17 years after her
fathers death, Ghezzi says she began going
to the annual conferences in 2008, when she
first learned about them.
I was humbled at the beginning by the
lack of progress in finding a cure, explains
Ghezzi. It seemed totally hopeless at the
time to me. But as the years went by, at the
annual conferences, through the presentations by scientists from around the world,
there was a glimmer of light, more and more
understanding about the disease. There was
finally hope. Each year there was new information, progress. I am cautiously hopeful
that one day we will crack the code. And I
feel inspired to help in any way I can, as part
of the CJD team. Because no one deserves

to be told they have a fatal disease and there


is no treatment whatsoever, and nothing that
can be done. There is a solution, and we will
be relentless -- together we will find it.
As far as progress, there is still no cure or
treatment, but research is underway worldwide to learn more about the disease mechanisms and to evaluate potential diagnostics
and treatments. Research developments
have been made on a number of fronts. The
CJD Foundation sponsors a research program that attracts researchers worldwide.
The CJD Foundation, which was established in Miami in 1993, provides support
for families affected by prion disease. Moving its headquarters to NY in 2013, the nonprofit foundation provides a seven-day
HelpLine, referrals and caregiving information, family workshops, and support groups,
as well as medical education and an annual
conference for families and scientists.

Vista Parking Unlocks The Key To Secure,


Convenient Parking

By Cheryl Conway
oing on a trip, whether business or pleasure, can
be stressful especially if it involves driving to
the airport, deciding where to park in crowded
lots, remembering where the car is parked, getting the
luggage out of the vehicle and then finding the means to
get to the gate in time for a flight.
A lot of these concerns can be avoided for those drivers who choose Vista Parking for their off-site parking
destination. Located directly across Newark Liberty International Airport, customers can park their car valet
style in a secure 24-hour access lot before they even get
to the busy airport and then receive car-door to airportdoor service any time of day without any wait.
Family operated and owned since 1988, Vista Parking
has been providing the most convenient means of off-site
parking for travelers who use Newark Airport.
The service at Vista Parking is much more convenient than long-term because its a door to door service,
says the company president. Customers are immediately
greeted by a van; theres no waiting for shuttles, not wait-

ing every 15 minutes. We take you on demand; you come


in, we are ready to go. Unlike other lots, They are not
walking through long dark parking lots in snow or far
away.
What used to be four or five lots at Newark Airport
has grown, but at Vista Parking customers can park before they get to the airport.
We are right there, says the owner. We are located
right when you come off 78; right at the end of the exit,
right at exit 58B; or exit 14 off of the NJ Turnpike located at the Howard Johnsons Hotel in Newark.
At Vista Parking, award winning service is provided; cars are kept in a safe and secure lot; and service
is available 24 hours a day.
Customers get free shuttle service to the airport, just a
three minute ride. We drop you off right at the terminal
and pick you up right at the terminal. Also offered are
corporate rates, fast check out, all valet parking, frequent
parker rewards club, luggage assistance and security.
All size vehicles are welcome and there is no minimum to days parked.

We are very customer service friendly, he said.


Once you pull in you dont have to pull your bags. We
clean off your car when it snows. Theres nothing worse
than coming home from the Bahamas and theres two feet
of snow on your car. We make it so simple for you. It
starts and finishes so nice. This is valet; the car is brought
up to you, warmed up on a cool night.
According to the website, At Vista Parking, you
wont have to worry about navigating massive parking
garages or where you parked your car. All you have to
do is call the number on your claim ticket and one of our
shuttles will be dispatched to meet you at the arrival terminal and return you to your vehicle.
At random parking lots, cars can be stolen, misplaced,
sometimes people forget where they parked their car or
what row they are in. If you have a problem with your
car when you get back, it just brings aggravation.
Cost to park at Vista Parking is reasonably priced. For
more information, go to www.vistaparking.com or call
973-263-2009 or 973-465-9400.
