Eagle badges, served in his troop in a leadership position as Troop Instructor, and completed a major community service project. Jordans Eagle service project is located behind the Vienna Methodist Church Community Center on Route 46 in Vienna. Jordan solicited donations from veterans families and area clubs and businesses, and led 33 volunteers and Scouts in the construction of the 24 x 20 foot Military Pavilion. The pavilion is dedicated to area military veterans from all branches of service, whether they served during peacetime or wartime. The project took approximately 541 hours to complete. A dedication ceremony was also held at the pavilion on July 31, 2011, led by Rev. Jim Craig of the Vienna Methodist Church. Jordan has been involved in scouting since the first grade, starting as a Tiger Cub in Pack 164 of Hackettstown in 1999, continuing all the way through Cub Scouts and Webelos. He became a Boy Scout with Troop 158 in 2004. In addition to scouting, Jordan was an athlete on

f you pass by the corner of Washington and Moore in Hackettstown, you will notice the facelift in progress at St. James Episcopal Church. The church tower, plagued by leaks in recent years due to worn siding, is being restored. Craftsmen from Cro-International have been working for more than six weeks to remove the worn siding, replace it with new, more resilient material, and to restore the board and batten trim. The tower has an explosive history. Built in the summer of 1859, it was destroyed by lightning before being completed. The determined people of St. James rebuilt it by year end. The tower housed the church bells, which still ring from the belfry. A facelift of the tower was done in 1992, using scaffolding and the building skills of
Triumph of the Tower
members of the congregation. The present reconstruction uses a cherry-picker type vehicle to carry workers close to the tower, so scaffolding was not necessary. We know that church is the people and not the building, says The Rev. Dr. Cathy Deats, Rector of St. James, and we also know the importance of sacrament. Things become intimately connected to meaning, and so we honor the sacred space that God has given us and care for it so that our children and their children can continue to find it a place of strength and comfort. You can see the tower progress at the St. James website, http://stjameshackettstown.org. You can support the restoration of the tower by sending a donation to St. James Episcopal Church, 214 Washington St, Hackettstown NJ 07840.

Diapers Needed
Tell Them You Saw It In The Hackettstown News - October 2011 - Page 5 health problems for the infant, but a strain on the family that can lead to even more problems. The answer for many is the Diaper Bank, and Child and Family Resources in Mt. Arlington is hoping the community can help meet the need for diapers. According to statistics from Child and Family Resources, a healthy change of diapers costs $112 per month for children and $312 per month for adults. However, fulltime work at minimum wage grosses only about $1,160 per month; at $10/hour, it grosses about $1,600. Now think that the average rent for a one bedroom apartment is $1,045 per month, leaving only $115-$5 in disposable income for all other expenses, including taxes, food, transportation, clothes, and diapers. When you think about those who are unemployed and about homeless families, the picture is even grimmer. In some cases, the cost is not short term. Many disabled babies never outgrow the need for diapers, requiring them through adulthood. Child and Family Resources notes that for child care, school, and job training, many disabled children and adults require incontinence supplies. Cloth diapers are not a solution. For adults, they are not readily available For children, child care programs require disposable diapers for sanitary reasons. The result of a lack of diapers or diaper changes is not just a mess. A child who is left in the same dirty diaper risks everything from skin problems to hepatitis. Then there is the childs reaction. The baby cries. Prolonged, non-stop crying can become unbearable for some parents and caregivers. Child and Family Resources notes that children under age three represent 28% of all abuse and neglect cases. The answer to the problem is disposable diapers for the Diaper Bank and thats where Child and Family services needs the communitys help. There are many ways it can be done. Child and Family Resources offered these ideas: Host a Diaper Drive at your workplace, congregation, or organization. We are in great need of sizes 4, 5 and 6 diapers. Collect unopened diapers at an upcoming party or family event. Donate Dollars for Diapers by making a check payable to Child and Family Resources or host a fundraising event for the Diaper Bank at Child and Family Resources. Diapers are distributed through the following affiliated organizations: Children on the Green, Interfaith Council for Homeless Families, Little Peoples Academy, the Morris County Office of Temporary Assistance, Jersey Battered Womens Services, NORWESCAP Early Head Start Program, Parsippany Child Day Care Center, Catholic Charities Hope House, Homeless Solutions and Samaritan Inn Shelter. There are babies in need, and Child and Family Resources is hoping that the community will donate for those who cant help themselves.

by Elsie Walker his area and surrounding areas have been hit by high unemployment and problems associated with the recent flood conditions. While it is difficult enough for adults to try to keep their heads above water (so to speak), think about the effects on infants. Infants depend on a parent to provide necessities like food and diapers. However, when money is short or non-existent, parents may not have enough to buy diapers. Neither WIC, Medicare, nor food stamps cover diapers (except for hospice care). Parents of infants may resort to trying to stretch the diapers out, making the child go without a change or more. This can cause not only
200 Years Old and Looking To The Future
by Elsie Walker rakestown United Methodist Church has dreams. Those dreams include ways it can move out into the local community to make a difference. Located on Church Street not far from Route 46 East in Budd Lake, the church has been part of the area for two centuries. Recently, it is celebrated its 200th anniversary with a concert by The Gospel Project and a re-dedication service with a pot lunch luncheon. However, while noting its heritage, the churchs focus is on now and the future. We want to be known as The Drakestown Church- a United Methodist Community, said the churchs pastor, the Rev. Bob Mayer. That communitys history began with Christians gathering in that place called Drakestown two hundred years ago. However, it wasnt until 1858 that the actual church was built. Also, according to the New Jersey Civil War Cemetery site, there is well-kept small historic cemetery by the church. Looking at the church today, people can see some changes that have been made over
the years such as the change in the steeple and the addition of the basement and the handicapped ramp. The Friendship Hall, a separate building which was erected in 1956 (as a gift from the Smith family), offers space for a variety of meetings. However, one thing remains the same. The church cares and now reaches out to others near and far in a number of ways. Our food pantry is very active. We work with the neighborhood schools at the holidays. We are sending our second team to the Appalachia Service Project this month. On November 19th, we will have our Free Community Turkey Dinner. We [provide room for] eight Alcoholic Anonymous meetings and one Overeaters Anonymous meeting each week, shared Mayer. Currently, one of the most visible signs of the church working in the community is its Drive In Prayer Tent. Originally a Lenten project, the tent now operates on Mondays from 6 - 8:30 am and 5 6:30pm. We are praying for all the commuters and the community around us. It is our way of showing we care and we are there for them, said Mayer.

orship at Trinity United Methodist Church on Sunday, October 30, 2011 will be especially inspiring, as the congregation welcomes violin virtuoso Jaime Jorge to its third Sunday worship services. Jorge, who has played in Hackettstown several times through the auspices of Hackettstown Regional Medical Center, and who was the special guest of Trinity Church at its Capital Campaign kickoff dinner several years ago,
Violin Virtuoso to Perform at Trinitys Worship Service

will share his considerable talents as a part of the worship services. Those services are at 8:15 a.m. in the chapel and 9:15 a.m. and 10:45 a.m. in the sanctuary. Dr. Frank Fowler, Senior Pastor of Trinity comments, "I have heard Jaime play on several occasions and have come to know him as an outstanding and gifted Christian man who, by his music and life, seeks to honor God and share God's love. He has inspired me, and I know worshippers will be truly inspired by hearing him on the 30th. I especially encourage parents and grandparents to bring their children and grandchildren." Jorge has played in a multitude of settings from high school auditoriums to Carnegie Hall, and has played in 40 countries on five continents. He has released 16 albums. Besides being an accomplished musician, Jorge has an inspiring story to share. Born and raised in communist Cuba, he was offered many opportunities - including offers to study in Moscow with some of the greatest musicians of our time - if only
Tell Them You Saw It In The Hackettstown News - October 2011 - Page 7 he and his family would renounce their belief in God. They refused. When Jorge was 10, miraculously, his family was given the opportunity to leave the country. In 1996, Jorge left medical school and a promising medical career to devote himself to full-time music ministry. Jorge will play at all three of Trinity's regular worship services, and people of all ages will be moved by his music and story. Trinity Church is located at 213 Main St in Hackettstown.

rounding communities. Bringing Lango to this area is owneroperator and Chester NJ resident Agnes Beede. A mother of 6 Children who became unemployed after 9 years of working at Novartis Pharmaceuticals. Agnes started Lango a year ago after her daughter lost the Language program at her school, now her daughter is learning Spanish, French and Chinese after she decided to become entrepreneur. Convinced of the importance of learning new languages when traveling overseas, Agnes says that America falls far short when it comes to a key aspect of getting along in an increasingly global society. Joining forces with San Franciscobased Lango, Agnes has hired nativespeaking and certified teachers who use a proprietary curriculum, teaching classes in local schools, community centers and other facilities. Lango classes employ music, movement, playacting, games, reading and writing and art activities in a high-energy environment. We strive to reach every child in the manner that best suits their learning style, continues Aggie. We believe that every child should learn another language, and that every child can learn another language. Our teachers work really hard to ensure that we make good on this belief. Foreign language instruction among
young children has indeed gained wide acceptance in recent years as numerous studies have shown that learning languages early in life impacts a child in a variety of ways. In addition to being able to speak the language devoid of accents that teenagers and adults typically appropriate, children benefit through accelerated cognitive development, which has been shown to result in stronger achievement in other subject, including math and reading, and even in higher test scores. When youre learning a second language not long after learning your first, your brain isnt so cluttered, and its not anchored to the sounds and patterns you already know, says Aggie. They say those little kids are like sponges, and its really true; I see it every day in our classes, as they soak it up readily and naturally. Its a blast to watch happen.

Acupuncture, Whats the Point? Sticking to the Facts - Learn How Everyone Can Benefit!
In attempts to raise awareness about Acupuncture in my own community, I am sharing some of these Acupuncture Facts with you! What is Acupuncture? Acupuncture is a modality of Traditional Chinese Medicine that requires the insertion of tiny filiform needles into various points on the body. Acupuncture and Chinese Medicine originated in Ancient China thousands of years ago. The Ancient Chinese discovered that every living being has energy that flows through invisible meridians (energy lines) throughout the body. This energy, known as "Qi" is the motive life force. In healthy individuals the Qi flows smoothly through the channels/ meridians. Imbalance in the flow of Qi results in illness and/or disease. Think of a garden hose. Water flows smoothly through the hose as long as there are no kinks. When a kink occurs, the water builds up on one side of the kink preventing the water from flowing through. Now envision 14 garden hoses attached to one another and arranged within the body. Each hose is connected to an organ in the body. You can see how a kink in just one of the hoses can affect all the other hoses/organs throughout the body. The kink or blockage results in illness and/or disease. Acupuncture and Chinese Medicine is used to restore the smooth flow of Qi (i.e. remove all the kinks) and bring the body back to balance. If you are still following then you are probably wondering how the kinks originate in the first place. Our Qi or energy can become kinked or blocked from physical/emotional trauma, stress, poor lifestyle and eating habits, seasonal changes, overexertion, and exposure to the elements (wind, cold, dampness, heat). But have no fearAcupuncture is here! How does Acupuncture Work? There are several theories regarding the Acupuncture mechanism. Acupuncture helps the body to do what it was meant to do- heal itself. Some of the most common theories include: - Acupuncture stimulates the release of endorphins, which relieve pain - Acupuncture stimulates the release of neurotransmitters (substances that that transmit nerve impulses to the brain -Acupuncture has a profound effect on the Autonomic Nervous System - Acupuncture stimulates circulation - Acupuncture enhances the bodys immune response - Acupuncture influences the electrical currents of the body The most common question of all Does Acupuncture Hurt? Extremely fine needles are used in the treatment of Acupuncture, making the experience almost painless. Most patients don't even feel the needles being inserted. The Acupuncture needles used are as fine as a few hairs on your head. All of my patients find their Acupuncture treatments to be very relaxing. In fact, most people fall asleep during their treatment. What is a typical Acupuncture treatment like? Upon arrival the patient is asked to fill out a detailed health history questionnaire. Then, the acupuncturist will review the health history with the patient and go over the patients primary health concern and lifestyle. The acupuncturist will take the patient's pulses and look at his/her tongue (In Chinese medicine the tongue and pulses are representative of the various organ/meridian systems and help in the diagnostic process). After the interview, the practitioner will come up with a diagnosis and treatment plan for the patient. The treatment plan is specific to the individual- not their disease. Then, the needles will be inserted into various acupuncture points. The patient may feel a heaviness or tingling sensation around the needle insertion site. The needles are typically retained for 20-30 minutes. How many Acupuncture treatments are needed? The number of Acupuncture treatments needed is based on the severity and chronicity of the condition. However, most patients experience some relief after the very first treatment. What kinds of needles are used in an Acupuncture Treatment? Tiny filiform needles are used for Acupuncture treatment. All of the needles are disposable, pre-sterilized and prepackaged. After each treatment, the needles are thrown away and new needles are used every time. Are there any side effects of Acupuncture treatment? Most people do not experience any side effects from Acupuncture. Occasionally, minor bruising can occur at the needle site. What does Acupuncture treat? Acupuncture is effective in treating various disorders and symptoms including, but not limited to the following: Addiction, Anxiety, Arthritis, Tendonitis & Joint Pain, Asthma, Auto Injuries, Chronic Fatigue Syndrome, Common Cold & Influenza, Constipation, Degenerative Disk Disorders, Depression, Facial Rejuvenation, Fibromyalgia, Headaches, Indigestion, Gas, Bloating, Infertility, Insomnia, Menopause symptoms, Migraines, Morning Sickness, Musculoskeletal pain, Nausea, Orthopedic Conditions, Pain, PMS & Menstrual Irregularities, Reproductive Issues, Sports Injuries, Stress, Tendonitis, Smoking Cessation and Weight management. What does it take to become an Acupuncturist? In addition to obtaining a Bachelors degree, Acupuncturists are required to undergo 3 years of schooling at an accredited Acupuncture school. Acupuncture programs consist of various classes in the areas of Acupuncture and Biomedicine as well as a full year of a clinical internship to obtain the experience of treating patients. The National Certification Commission of Acupuncture and Oriental Medicine requires that Acupuncturists take 3 National Board Examinations to test proficiency and knowledge in the areas of Acupuncture, Theory and Biomedicine. The State of New Jersey requires an additional Licensing Board Examination to obtain licensure in New Jersey. Once licensed, Acupuncturists are required to take Continuing Education Courses every year. For more information on Acupuncture and Chinese Medicine call Kearstin R. Saya, L.Ac 908.876.3643
cupuncture and Oriental Medicine Day is observed annually on October 24. It is part of an effort designed to increase public awareness of the progress, promise, and benefits of Acupuncture and Oriental medicine. This Ancient Medicine has been practiced for thousands of years in China, but has only gained popularity in the U.S over the past 25 years. Although 36% of U.S adults have used complementary and alternative medicine, many healthcare consumers are still unaware of alternative healthcare options and their vast benefits. In fact, everyone can benefit from Acupuncture whether seeking help for an existing health issue or just to promote overall wellness and to help prevent future issues. Acupuncture is an evidence-based modality and research from the National Institute of Health proves that Acupuncture is effective for use in pain management, osteoarthritis, postoperative or chemotherapy-related nausea, addiction, stroke rehabilitation, infertility and asthma, among others. In addition, The World Health Organization declares Acupunctures efficacy in relieving anxiety, panic disorders, insomnia and forty-two other medical conditions.
s we watch the seasons change, we can also see the positive changes of the pre-school students enrolled at CS Gymnastics in Flanders. Whether they participate in the Bunny tots (1 -3yrs) with parents, Bouncin Bunnies (3-4yrs), or Gym n Learn Pre-School combining PreK academics and fitness, these youngsters are having a healthy lifestyle reinforced in a Fun environment every week. The national organization, USA Gymnastics, strongly promotes the many benefits of being involved in a gymnastics program at an early age. Below are the top nine reasons, though you may think of more. Fitness - Experiencing fun associated with fitness activities early in life can create lifelong positive fitness habits. Mental Focus - Learning how to concentrate on a task and achieving goals.

the slimmest laptop, its in the brand new model of that very thing we dont really need but must have. But the more we distract ourselves with everything thats outside of ourselves, the harder it is to see whats inside. One of my favorite childrens books is Shel Silversteins The Missing Piece (and the sequel, The Missing Piece Meets The Big O). If you happen to be in the bookstore, pop on over to the childrens aisle and give it a read. Personally, I think its in the wrong section entirely, it should be in the adult Self-Help aisle. The idea is that a sweet, little pac-man shaped character goes looking for the missing piece that he thinks will make him whole, only to discover in the end, that theres nothing really missing from his life after all. The search for what he thinks is missing was only a distraction from seeing the beauty of the fullness of his life. Oh, by the way, if you come to my house, youll find both of those books on my shelf, my most prized literary material! When you begin to learn to trust that you have everything you need, life just gets eas-
The Missing Peace
By Janice C. Molinari ometimes when a lesson comes, it hits you from all sides. It seems like recently, Ive been hearing the same thing over and over. It comes in different voices trying to get me to pay attention. Maybe its time for me to really listen up and hear the message thats being delivered. Heres what its sayingYou already have everything you need for your own greatness. Thats shocking. And at the same time, it feels like something Ive always known deep down in my core. Ive heard time and again you do not GAIN something, you UNCOVER what has been there all along, what will always be there. In a society thats constantly delivering the message, you NEED the latest and the greatest, it is no wonder this message that is embedded in our very DNA, gets lost. We know deep down that we already possess everything we need. But somehow, we still get distracted by the message that what were looking for exists in something outside of ourselves. Its in the latest iphone or
ier. We carry our greatness within us, we just need to remove the clutter and let it shine. We need to stop searching for the thing that we think will make us complete, we need to stop looking for our Missing Peace and realize that we are already whole and beautifulall on our own.

Tell Them You Saw It In The Hackettstown News - October 2011 - Page 21 coming for the day or looking to make a weekend out of it, everything is in place to provide an incredible experience, commented Bill Benneyan, Mountain Creeks Chief Marketing Officer. The technology in our rental center is truly next level, our snow tubing park is the biggest in the country and our terrain parks consistently win national recognition. Whether youre looking to try snowboarding for the first time, a seasoned skier looking to sharpening their skills or a hardcore park enthusiast, theres now something for everyone here at Mountain Creek. Details on Mountain Creeks recent improvements include: New Red Tail Lodge: Visitors to Mountain Creeks blog (http://creektalks.blogspot.com/) have watched the extraordinary 55,000 square foot Red Tail Lodge take shape. Merging rustic charms with high-tech elegance, the lodge is comprised of three floors, two bars, a fine dining restaurant, indoor and outdoor dining options, and a state-of-the-art rental center. With all of these features packaged together under one roof, the Red Tail Lodge is easily one of the most modern and plush day lodges in the East. Revolutionary New Rental Center and Learn-To Area: Learning to ski or snowboard can be daunting. The physical experience of simply securing your rental equipment can be a tiresome process, which can make actually getting onto the snow to learn even more challenging than it needs to be. Mountain Creeks new technology-driven rental system fills out your paperwork with just the swipe of a credit card or drivers license, and then transports your equipment via a surface elevator to the new on-snow Schoolyard teaching area so its there waiting for you when you arrive. No fumbling required! Revolutionary New Rental Center and Learn-To Area Continued: In addition, the new learning area will feature an intuitive, terrain-assisted learning paradigm that makes the experience of learning to turn on snow easier, more successful, less tiring and more enjoyable for beginners, complete with a special Cool School station. Action Lift Company Restaurant: A new 180-seat slopeside restaurant pays homage to Mountain Creeks past while providing the modern amenities that visitors desire. Located at the base of the Appalachian Hotel at Vernon Peak, the restaurant will feature a mix of traditional home cooking and real Southern-style BBQ. The interior will be decorated with posters, pictures and icons representing the deep history of rollicking spirit of invention and fun in the Vernon Valley area, including Action Park, Great Gorge, the Playboy Club and the rich heritage of skiing and snowboarding in New Jersey, which includes the headquarters of Cubco Bindings, the first Head Ski test and early proving grounds for snowboard pioneer, Tom Sims. The Action Lift Company is destined to be a great place to get a drink, relax with family for a sit down dinner or simply just unwind on the patio and while breathing in the fresh mountain air. Drop Zone Snow Tubing Park: With more than 35 lanes totaling six miles of runs, it will be the largest snow tubing facility in the country.

Thomas Edison and The Ghost Machine Truth or Dare

paper away from the strangers view. The stranger placed his hand on the assistants head and was able to call out every name on the paper. To confirm this was not a hoax, Edison asked if he could answer a question for him. The question he chose related to his storage battery. He wrote down Is there was anything better than nickel-hydroxide? The stranger answered No. There is nothing better. The mysterious man left without his calling card and never returned again. This incident gave Edison a more serious consideration to paranormal sciences and not to dismiss it as pure quackery. Edison met the famed medium Dr. Bert Reese. He thought Reese was a prodigy who had developed a new sense that all humans are capable of developing. Confirmation of Edison interests in determining if there was life after death appeared in a special January 23, 1921 New York Times feature story by A.D. Rothman entitled: Mr. Edisons Life Units Hundred Trillion in Human Body May Scatter After Death Machine to Register Them. Edison goes into details about his life after death theories and the apparatus that could register it. However, in final closing argument he denies that his experimentation has spiritual motives. He tells his audience during this interview: The grub when it dies splits open. A remarkable change occurs, a butterfly comes forth. I am investigating the butterfly existence of human life, but I have nothing to do with transmigration of souls. One is scientific; the other I know nothing of. Was Edisons New York Times interview a bit of the Wizards sensational chitchat or was it a media premiere to
by Michele Guttenberger here is a long running legend that Thomas Edison thought it was possible that a machine could be invented for the purpose of helping humans communicate with the dead. Whether Edison had actually worked on developing this machine is pure conjecture. If you ask those who give credence to paranormal sciences, they claim that Edison was serious in his claim and had something in development. If you ask an Edison historian the verdict is they were thoughts he gave some theory to. However, he left no records of any apparatus blueprints on application of these theories. In all the documents, notations and patent applications that have been archived and collected no one has found hardcopy evidence of its existence. Thomas Edison himself may be blamed on how these rumors got started. In a 1920 interview for Scientific American with B.C. Forbes (later founder of Forbes magazine), Edison was quoted saying: ...I am inclined to believe that our personality hereafter will be able to affect matter. If this reasoning be correct, then, if we can evolve an instrument so delicate as to be affected, moved, or manipulated...by our personality as it survives in the next life, such an instrument, when made available, ought to record something. Edison attracted many people from the scientific community and that included those involved in the paranormal who wanted to engage his attention. One day a clairvoyant stranger had walked into his lab claiming he could read minds. Edison allowed the stranger to demonstrate his abilities. Edisons assistant wrote some names on a slip of
new mind bending discoveries to come. To this day it still remains a topic for debate. Although, you wont find the Ghost Machine, there are many mind probing exhibits at the museum.

continued from page 21 Center, so inquisitive tubers who are eager to explore other winter activities can do so in a low-pressure setting. 2 New BagJump Air Bags: Get ready to take flight. If youve ever wanted to try a big jump without the hard landing consequences, Mountain Creek is making it easier than ever to be that daring skier or rider. Two new BagJump air bags, which are essentially inflatable landing pads that cushion landings off of jumps, will be located at the South Terrain Park and Vernon Base all winter long. These are the same landing bags that many professional athletes use for training and can be found at major resorts around the globe. More information on BagJump air bags is available online at (http://www.bag jump.com/). Expansive New Solar Project: Decreasing their environmental footprint is a major goal for Mountain Creek. For this winter Mountain Creek will be covering all of their parking spaces with new roof-mounted solar parking canopies, which will ultimately generate more than eight megawatts of electricity for the resort and decrease electrical usage by 50 percent. This is believed to be one of the largest resort solar installations in the US.
All of these changes come on the heels of the successful merger of Mountain Creek with Crystal Springs Resort in May of 2010. Together, Crystal Springs and Mountain Creek offer 4-season world-class amenities including seven award-winning golf courses, 2 top-ranked spas, abundant lodging in 4 hotels including the distinctive Grand Cascades Lodge, a globally-renowned 120,000 bottle wine cellar, multiple venues for weddings, meetings and catered events, ski and snowboard, Mountain Creek Waterpark, Diablo Freeride mountain bike park. About Mountain Creek Located in Vernon, NJ, Mountain Creek is the tri-state areas premiere destination for mountain excitement. Just 47 miles from the George Washington Bridge, Mountain Creek is easily accessible for New York, New Jersey and eastern Pennsylvania residents looking for a world-class resort experience in less than two hours from many major locations. Mountain Creek offers over 167 acres of terrain on 4 mountain peaks with 100% night skiing and the regions highest vertical at 1040'.

Energy Saver Tips Saving Energy and Money at Home & Business
Pay less for your electricity We have all been inundated with phone calls, emails and junk mail to switch to a different energy provider. Is it worth it? YES. Thanks to the deregulation of energy, you can now shop for a better rate. Just like the phone company and cable television, NJ, CT and PA and many other states have deregulated there energy market . Already, 40% of electric customers in CT and PA have converted to a different electric supplier and NJ customers are following this trend. In all the states mentioned, the local utility is still responsible for maintaining the existing wires, pipes and poles and billing. These new energy suppliers can provide the electricity at a lower cost than the existing utilities such as PSE&G, JCPL and ACE. However, when switching, beware, as some of these suppliers offer promotional rates which increase over time, have hidden fees and their rate does not include sales tax. Just make sure that the rate youre offered is the rate youll pay. Lastly some have penalties if you want to switch, so read the terms and conditions, shop wisely and start saving There are many ways to cut energy consumption and be smarter in the way we use it. By doing just a few of the things mentioned in this article you will be adding money to your pocket.
t used to be so simple. Just Turn the Lights Off! Now with technology and competition, its become a little more complex. According to the Energy Data Book, heating accounts for 31% of the average energy bill, followed by appliances and electronics at 27% and water heating at 12%. Saving energy can be divided into three areas. 1. Use less. 2. Be more efficient when you are using it. 3. Pay less for it. USING LESS. The average family can cut energy consumption by more then 10% simply by doing the basics. Turn off lights, use timers on night lights, and turn your thermostat down at night. William Curcio, Executive Vice President at Eastern Propane located in Oak Ridge, NJ recommends the following six simple energy saving tips which can help you conserve energy and reduce your familys home heating bills. CHANGE YOUR FURNACE FILTER MONTHLY. Clean filters help your heating system work more efficiently. DIAL BACK YOUR THERMOSTAT. You can cut annual heating bills by as much as 10 percent per year by turning your thermostat back 10-15 percent for eight hours per day. GET A TIMER. Investing in a furnace thermostat timer saves you money by lowering your homes temperature when youre not at home. KEEP JACK FROST FROM SNEAKING IN Reduce the air leaks in your home by caulking, and weather stripping windows, doors and other openings. SCHEDULE A TUNE UP. A properly working heating system is more efficient and will save you money. KEEP YOUR VENTS UNOBSTRUCTED. Arrange furniture and draperies so they do not block radiators, vents or baseboard units. The US Department of Energy recommends switching to more efficient lighting! BE MORE EFFICIENT. Switching to more efficient lighting is one of the fastest ways to cut your energy bills. An average household dedicates 11% of its energy budget to lighting. Using the latest lighting technologies can reduce lighting energy use in your home by 50% to 75%. Be sure to buy ENERGY STAR qualified. They will save you about $30 or more in electricity costs over each bulbs lifetime. The top energy users for appliances are the refrigerator and washers, and dryers. When you shop for a new appliance, look for the ENERGY STAR label. ENERGY STAR products usually exceed minimum federal standards by a substantial amount. The Energy Guide label estimates how much power is needed per year to run the appliance based on the yearly cost. Many appliances continue to draw a small amount of power when they are switched off. These phantom loads occur in most appliances that use electricity, such as VCRs, televisions, stereos, and computers. Many people believe that equipment lasts longer if it is never turned off, this is an incorrect perception. Unplugging the appliance or using a power strip and using the switch on the power strip to cut all power to the appliance can avoid these phantom loads.
