Local Expert Shows NJ ParentsHow To Get The Most Money For

Their Childrens College Education

New Jersey parents suffering with

finding ways to pay for their chil-

drens college education can final-

ly get the solutions to their college funding

problems.

Most families who earn $75,000 or more

and own a home assume they are not eligi-

ble for financial aid. However, most fami-

lies with income over $100,000 are actual-

ly eligible for some types of need based

financial aid. They simply need to know

how to get their fair share.According to Newell, there are several

easy things parents can do to substantially

increase the amount of money they get

from colleges. For example, There are

several schools that historically give better

financial aid packages than others, says

Newell. If families do proper income and

asset planning before filling out the forms,

they can increase eligibility by thousands of

dollars.

Newell offers a few simple tips to par-ents with college funding problems. If a

parent has only half an hour to end theircollege funding problems, I would suggest

the following:

1. Make sure they do not over-value

their home on the financial aid forms

2. Try not to save money in the childs

name as it weighs more heavily than the

parents savings

3. Dont be afraid to negotiate with a

college for a better financial aid package.

Newell offers New Jersey parents with

college funding problems a free booklet

that explains the 9 most common collegefunding problems and solutions. Free

copies will be distributed at the seminar

listed below.

Mr. Newell will be conducting a free

one-hour seminar for parents of college

bound high school juniors and seniors at the

following location: Washington Township

Public Library on Tuesday, November 25th,

2014 at 7:00 p.m.

You'd think it was Valentine's Day

due to the romantic vibe in

Hackettstown.

Two Hackettstown High School gradu-

ates, David Roome and Kelly DiFranco, gotengaged at Morrison Field in late October

during a Tiger Marching Band rehearsal.

David Roome and Kelly DiFranco, who are

also former marching band members at the

high school, will set a date for their wed-

ding soon.

Roome, a 95 graduate, and DiFranco, a

'94 graduate, had some help from

Hackettstown High School Band Boosters

President Crystal Cottrill, a 95 graduate of

Hackettstown High School, in planning the

on-field engagement. The marching banditself and director Bryan Stepneski also did

their part to make sure the evening went

smoothly.

"This worked out really well," said

Roome , who wanted to propose to

DiFranco at an event associated with the

band since it brings back fond memories for

them both. DiFrancos 13-year-old daugh-

ter, Nicole, who is in color guard at her high

school, also suggested to Roome that he

take Kelly to a marching band rehearsal to

propose.DiFranco thought something might be up

once she heard they would be attending the

rehearsal. She predicted Roome may have

been planning to propose, and even started

to poke fun at him a bit.

She would say, I think theyre going to

cancel it (the band rehearsal).Roome would say, No, no. Theyre not

gonna cancel it.

And when the day came, Oct. 23, they

attended the band rehearsal, and it turned

out to be quite a festive and romantic pro-

duction to a level which DiFranco could

not have expected.

The Tiger Marching Band stopped their

rehearsal and they moved into a heart for-

mation on the field. Roome escorted

DiFranco onto the field and brought a

microphone as well.He knelt down and asked DiFranco if she

would marry him and upon her saying yes,

the band gave her a round of applause and

played their pep tune, Hey Baby.

This is the most interesting thing thats

happened here in a while, said Cottrill,

who as president of the booster club helps

raise money "and organize everything for

the kids." She did a great job organizing this

event.

In an interview that same night, Roome

said he was also happy with how theevening went. He said his fiance was a

good sport about the festivities and the pro-

posal.

DiFranco said her and Roome kept talk-

ing about attending a Hackettstown football

game in order to see the Tiger Marching

Band (they are both from Horsham, Pa), but

with their work schedules it was difficult to

work out.

So instead, they planned to come to townfor a marching band rehearsal. And this may

be quite a complement to the Tiger

Marching Band, but they have been

impressing audiences at recent competi-

tions, most definitely. (Some recent

achievements include: North Warren

Marching Band Competition: Best

Percussion; Best Visual; 2nd Place. Brick

Marching Band Competition: Best Visual;

Best Overall Effect; 1st Place. New Jersey

not maybe a month.

He first thought it may be good to just

propose to DiFranco in the stands at

Morrison Field.

Cottrill, however, thought, Oh, no. Hes

gonna propose on the field.

She said, Who doesnt want a marching

band at their proposal!?

Cottrill made sure there was some

excitement and fun added to the production.

With Cottrills planning, the event became acrowd-pleaser, and the marching band and

audience cheered when it all came together

so well.

Cottrill said band members, parents and

kids knew about the proposal and kept

things quiet in the weeks and days leading

At Christmas, Christians mark the

birth of a special baby who taught

the world the gift of giving. On

December 7th at 5pm, a nativity presentation

will not only retell the story of the babyJesus birth, but also remember babies in

need by raising money for the Diaper Bank

in Northern New Jersey ( a project of Child

and Family Resources). The 12th annual

ecumenical Christmas Arts program tells the

nativity story through song, puppetry, piano

music, and chancel drama. The program

will be held at the Port Morris United

Methodist Church, 296 Center Street in

Landing. (There is on street parking and

parking in a lot behind the church on Main

Street.)A number of singers from area churches

will share their vocal talents and various

musical styles. Soloist JoAnn Greame from

St. Michaels Roman Catholic Church in

Netcong will be accompanied by Jack Amato

on O Little Town of Bethlehem. Aptly

portraying the scene of the angels visiting the

shepherds will be the youth choir from St.

James Episcopal Church in Hackettstown. Its

director is Pam Laura. Samantha Rizzuto

from Church of the Hills in Bedminster, will

portray Marys cousin, Elizabeth, and soloon Ave Maria. Dana Berchak of the Port

Morris United Methodist Church will do a

scene as Mary and solo on Be Born in Me.

Merwin Lisbo of the Stanhope United

Methodist Church, as Joseph, will sing

Still. Later, Lisbo will be joined by

Gabrielle Worthington, also of StanhopeUnited Methodist Church, for a duet of

Marys Boy Child. Isaac Bayoh will be a

shepherd, soloing on , Jesus. Cathy and

John Bingham of Flanders United Methodist

Church will do a duet of Youre Here and

an original composition, The Guiding

Star. The Port Morris United Methodist

Church chancel choir, under the direction of

Rich Boyer, Jr. will be singing Beautiful

Star of Bethlehem and Go Tell It on the

Mountain. Boyer is known for his work at

the Pax Amicus Theater.Others will add in the elements of piano

music, puppetry, and drama. Piano solos will

be done by Amato and by David Petrov of

the Port Morris United Methodist Church.

Presenting the scenes of the animals in the

stable and the wise mens journey will be the

youth puppeteers of the Port Morris United

Methodist Church. Their director is Tina

Berchak of Stanhope. Chancel drama used to

bridge musical segments will be done by the

youth class of Port Morris United Methodist

Church. In chancel drama, as in the rest ofthe presentation, the players do not wear cos-

tumes, but regular clothes. The audience is

asked to use its imagination as the presenta-tion unfolds.

At the end of the presentation, an offering

will be taken to benefit the Diaper Bank in

Northern New Jersey. There are many who

cant afford diapers for their babies. A

healthy baby needs 12 changes a day, but for

some low income families the cost of diapers

is too great and a baby gets only a couple

changes or less per day. This can lead to

health problems or abuse as the parent deals

with a constantly screaming baby. The

Diaper Bank distributes diapers to those inneed through its partner organizations:

Catholic Charities Hope House/Birthright,

Children on the Green, Homeless Solutions,Family Promise of Morris County, Jersey

Battered Women's Services, Little Peoples

Academy, Morris County Office of

Temporary Assistance, NORWESCAP Early

Head Start Program, Parsippany Child Day

Care Center, and the Samaritan Inn Shelter.

To get diapers, the Diaper Bank relies on

donations. The offering taken at the presen-

tation will go toward buying diapers for the

bank.

Mentors can serve as trusted confi-

dantes to young people in need of

professional guidance, providing

the support or advice many need to break into

a given industry.

While mentoring is most commonly asso-

ciated with the professional arena, it need not

be restricted to corporate environments.

When looking to give back to their communi-

ties, men and women may not think of men-

toring. However, mentoring can be a power-

ful empowerment and personal development

tool, for both mentors and the people being

mentored. The following are a handful of tips

to foster a successful mentoring relationship.

Ask a lot of questions. Mentors should

expect to field a lot of questions, but they also

should ask their share of questions. Asking

questions is a good way to challenge people

and get them thinking about various scenarios

and situations they may find themselves in.

This will help shape the person you're men-

toring into an individual who can anticipate

situations and deal with them on his or her

own.

Ensure confidentiality. Confidentiality

should be of paramount importance in a men-

toring relationship. The person you're men-

toring should feel comfortable coming to you

with any situation and have your support, as

trust is essential to the mentor-mentee rela-

tionship.

Stretch a person's abilities. The goal of a

mentor is not to solve all of his or her

mentee's problems. Delegate tasks and pro-

vide advice to lead the mentee in the right

direction. Encourage a mentee to take on

more responsibilities, which can instill confi-

dence and facilitate personal growth.

Enjoy the experience. Mentors benefit

from mentoring, which can provide satisfac-

tion and a sense of accomplishment that

results from knowing you played an integral

role in the success of another person. If your

career is in a slump, mentoring may provide

the breath of fresh air you need to recharge.

Mentoring also may give you insight into

another person's life, which can be used in

your own personal development. As long as

your goal is the success and support of the

mentee, mentoring can be a selfless act that

touches the lives of others.

Formal mentoring programs exist, but

mentoring relationships often begin when a

less formal connection forms between two

people. Should a friend, employee or col-

league ask for your assistance in mentoring,

embrace this compliment and make the most

of your opportunity to aide in the growth of

another person.

What does it mean to be a mentor?

Around the globe, at 7pm on

December 14th, people will be

sharing in a candlelight ceremony

of remembrance and support. While

Christmas is a happy time for many, for

some it can be a difficult season. Images of

children with Santa and the childhood joy

can be painful for those who have lost a

child, at any age. The global candlelight

ceremony was created by a family support

network called Compassionate Friends.

Through its chapters, this organization

offers support to bereaved parents siblings,

or grandparents. Every year on the second

Sunday in December, the candlelight cere-

mony is held at the same time at locations

around the world, creating the largest can-

dlelight ceremony around the globe.

Locally, the ceremony will be held at the

Flanders United Presbyterian Church at 58

Drakesdale Road in Flanders.

This will the churchs third year doing

the ceremony. The churchs pastor, Rev.

Flanders Takes Part In Global Candlelight Service for those Grieving a Lost Child

Rick Oppelt explained that he learned about

Compassion Friends and its global candle-

light ceremony when he was looking for

resources for a family who had been visiting

the church and had lost its teenage son in a

tragic accident. He went on to explain that

Compassionate Friends is unique in that its

focus is not on just grieving and loss, but in

helping those who have lost a child, what-

ever the circumstances: accident, suicide,

illness.

Far too many people have lost children

under any number of circumstances. It is

surely a pain and a loss that never leaves

parents who have lost a child. Even my

mom, who lost one of her sons, my brother,

two years ago at age 54, has never been the

same. The Worldwide CandlelightCeremony is not always designed to have a

religious component, though we include a

general one in the one we do and hold it in

our church sanctuary. Other groups hold

theirs in other facilities, or perhaps a fellow-

ship room in a church, rather than sanctuary.

We certainly are welcoming to any and all,

regardless of any faith they share or don't

share, but of course we believe a faith is an

important resource in moving in and

through grief and loss. We all know how

difficult holidays often are because of the

way they remind many of loved ones no

longer with them, shared Oppelt.

He described the service at the church as

simple and meditative. It usually

includes quiet music, a few readings, and an

opportunity for family and friends to light a

candle in remembrance of their loved ones.

He noted that there will be a fellowship time

afterwards that will allow people to share

stories and continue to support one another

as they grieve and struggle to move for-

ward.

I grieve for [that] church family, who

have now become active members of our

congregation and close personal friends. I

grieve for my mother, who lost her adult

child, my brother David. I grieve for all whohave had to suffer these losses no parent

should ever have to endure. I am glad

through this ceremony we can honor lost

loved ones and support families who must

carry on, said Opelt.

We Wish You A Safe & Happy Thanksgiving!

Book Your Holiday Appointments!

Few foods receive the fanfare of turkey

come the holiday season. The

National Turkey Federation says

Americans eat 46 million turkeys each

Thanksgiving and another 22 million on

Christmas. An additional 19 million enjoyturkey as part of their Easter celebrations.

Though turkey is enjoyed throughout the

year, it is most popular during the holiday

season. Some celebrants may want to know

more about this beloved bird before sinking

their teeth into their next holiday meal. The

following turkey tidbits may surprise you.

Turkeys are large game birds that are

closely related to chickens, pheasants and

quail.

The turkey's scientific name is "melea-

gris gallopavo," which is the wild turkeyfrom which the domesticated turkey many

people eat descends. There is another

species of turkey known as the ocellated

turkey, which is native to the Yucatn

Peninsula in Mexico.

By the early 1900s, the wild turkey

neared extinction. Restoration projects have

increased the number of turkeys from

approximately 30,000 birds back then to

nearly seven million now.

Despite their size, turkeys can fly in the

wild. They often perch in trees to sleep toprotect themselves from predators. Some

domesticated turkeys may not fly because

they have been bred to be overly large to

produce more breast meat.

The heaviest turkey ever raised was 86

pounds.

A male turkey is called a "tom" or a"gobbler," while female turkeys are referred

to as "hens." Only the male will make the

familiar gobbling sound, which is used to

attract mates.

A hen is smaller than a gobbler and

does not have the distinctive beard of mod-

ified feathers that gobblers have on their

breasts. Males also have sharp spurs on

their legs for fighting.

Male and female turkeys also can be

differentiated by their droppings. Male

droppings are spiral-shaped, whilefemales' look like the letter J.

Both genders of turkey have snoods

(the dangling appendage on the face) as

well as red wattles under their chins.

A hen can lay about 10 to 12 eggs over

a period of two weeks. The eggs will incu-

bate for 28 days before hatching. Baby

turkeys are called "poults."

Turkeys and peacocks may look simi-

lar, but they are not closely related.

Turkeys have excellent vision due to

their eyes being located on the sides oftheir head. This gives the birds periscopic

Time to Talk Turkeyvision.

The gizzard is a part of the turkey's

stomach that contains tiny stones that the

bird has swallowed. The stones facilitate

the digestion process.

Benjamin Franklin did not support thebald eagle as the nation's symbol, feeling

the turkey would be a better choice. In a

letter to his daughter, he wrote, "He [bald

eagle] is a rank coward; the little king-

bird, not bigger than a sparrow, attacks

him boldly and drives him out of the dis-

trict. For in truth, the turkey is in compar-

ison a much more respectable bird, and

withal a true original native of America.

Eagles have been found in all countries,

but the turkey was peculiar to ours ."

Turkeys will have 3,500 feathers atmaturity. Rumor has it the costume worn

by the "Sesame Street" character "Big

Bird" is made of turkey feathers.

Despite an abundance of turkeys

being eaten between November and

January, June is National Turkey Month.

Who we are: Our

Group began in

October of 2013.

My daughter, Jaclyn, and I

talked about how great it

would be to have a SocialSupport Group for Adults

with Aspergers since we

hadn't heard of anything

like that in our part of NJ.

So we decided to try and

start one ourselves.

The amazing people that

came to the first meeting

made me realize right away

that we did the right thing!

Since then connections have

grown, new friendshipshave been made, and its

truly a wonderful thing.

What we do: We have

about 20 Members who

meet once a month at differ-

ent types of social get-

togethers - dinners at an

Italian restaurant, a Hibachi

Restaurant, Corner Pub,

bowling nights, summer

barbecue and swimming

party, pizza and dessert

Jacly and Debra Burke

party. We are planning

future events that will

include improv nights, pot-

tery classes, wine and paint-

ing, and movie nights.

Our current members

have asked that we continue

to grow, so I am spreading

the word! If you are an

Aspergers Adult looking to

meet nice, friendly peers

with whom you can enjoy a

fun night out with once a

month, develop friendships

and a sense of community,

contact me. We would

LOVE FOR YOU TO JOIN

Indoor air quality is not often an issue in

the warmer months, when many home-

owners open their windows to let the fresh

air of the great outdoors enter their homes in

abundance. But once the temperatures begin

to dip and windows start to close, indoor airquality can suffer. Musty air is not only

uncomfortable, it's also unhealthy. Volatile

organic compounds, or VOCs, can build up

inside a home, especially when windows are

kept shut for long stretches of time, which is

often the case in winter. Indoor plants can

counter such stale air, in some cases filtering

out VOCs to make the air inside a home more

breathable and healthy. The following are a

handful of houseplants that can improve

indoor air quality.

* Aloe: Many of us know aloe for itsrestorative properties with regard to treating

burns and cuts, but aloe also improves indoor

air quality by helping to clear a home of the

byproducts, including formaldehyde, of

chemical-based household cleaners. Aloe

loves the sun, so if you hope to keep an aloe

plant healthy through the winter, be sure to

place the plant in a window that gets lots of

sun exposure throughout the day.

* Gerber daisy: Like aloe, a gerber daisy

needs ample sunlight, and tends to only with-

stand winters in warmer climates. But home-

owners who live in such climates may still

keep their windows closed in winter, and

those that do can use these colorful, low-

maintenance flowers to remove trichloroeth-

ylene, a chemical that clothes may be

exposed to during the dry cleaning process.* Golden pothos: The golden pothos can

survive a winter, but homeowners should be

careful not to let the plant dry out, which can

happen if they are directly exposed to sun-

light. A golden pothos vine will grow quick-

ly, so a hanging basket is a great way to keep

one inside a home, where the plant can help

fight formaldehyde.

* Ficus benjamina: Also known as a weep-

ing fig, the ficus benjamina can be difficult to

overwinter. But that does not mean your ficus

benjamina, which can filter pollutants such asbenzene, formaldehyde and trichloroethylene

from a home, won't make it through the win-

ter. You just need to figure out the right water-

ing and light conditions for the plant. Such

conditions can be discussed with a gardening

professional.

* Warneck dracaena: The warneck dracae-

na, or dracaena deremensis, fights pollutants

created by varnishes and oils. The warneck

dracaena is a sturdy houseplant that is diffi-

cult to kill, but it still thrives in temperatures

that are between 70 F and 80 F.

bulb. Thomas Edisons first patented inven-tion was an electric vote recorder machine.

On June 1, 1869 at the young age of 22,

Edison was awarded his first US. Patent.

Edison was a telegrapher when he invented

this machine.

Edison was awarded U.S. Patent 90,646.

It was a voting device that was connected to

a clerks desk where the names of the legis-

lators were inserted. The voter moved a

switch to either yes or no, sending an elec-

tric current to the device at the clerks desk.

Yes and No wheels kept track of the votesand tabulated the final results. The

Electrographic Vote Recorder was a

momentous milestone in U.S. patent history

because; it was the first of 1,093 U.S.

Patents Edison would be awarded in his

lifetime. The start of Edisons first patent

application letter read:

Specification forming part of Letters

Patent No. 90,646,'dated June l, 1869.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, Thomas A. Edison of

Boston, in the county of Suffolk and State

of Massachusetts, have invented a new and

useful apparatus named Electrographic Vote

Recorder

The object of my invention is to produce

an apparatus which records and registers in

an instant,- and with great accuracy the

votes of legislative bodies, thus avoidingloss of valuable time consumed in counting

and registering the votes and names, as

done in the usual manner ;'and my invention

consists in applying an electrographic appa-

ratus in such a manner that each member, by

moving a switch to either of two points, rep-

resenting an affirmative and opposing vote,

has his name imprinted, by means of elec-

tricity, under the desired head, on a previ-

ously-prepared paper, and at the same time-

the number of votes is indicated on a-dial-

plate by the operation;

The vote recorder did all the things that

Thomas Edison said it would do at a very

quick speed. And so, his business interest

partner and fellow telegrapher, Dewitt

Roberts anticipated a welcomed reception

of the Electrographic Vote Recorder by

Congress in Washington D.C. From a teleg-

raphers perspective, speed in transmitting a

response was a very desirable function.

Who would not want a quick response to a

proposition? How critically wrong were

Edisons and Roberts perception on the

performance needs of the US Congress?

At Age 22, Thomas Edison Experienced The Agony of Defeat By The U.S. Congress

Neither telegrapher understood that the

device hampered the business of the con-

gressional filibuster. The chairman of the

committee was unmoved with the speed this

instrument could handle in recording votes.

In fact, the chairman proclaimed "If, there is

any invention on earth that we don't want

down here that is it." The slow pace of roll

call voting was an ideal speed for Congress

and other legislatures. It enabled them the

time to filibuster legislation or sway others

to change their votes. Edison's first US

Patent was also his first business failure.

Edisons invention never got passed the

floor of congress and was shelved never to

be used again. At the age of 22, Edison

experienced the agony of defeat by the U.S.

Congress without even running for office.

The time has come to begin planning your hol iday cel-

ebrations filled with tasty food and happy guests.

To ensure a savory and stress-free holiday, Jimmy Dean

Chef Jill Houk shares her favorite go-to recipes and tips:

To feel confident in the kitchen, fill most of your holi-

day feast with recipes youve made before and then add one

or two new dishes to the mix.

Whether youre preparing a traditional side dish or a

hearty appetizer, you can make your holiday staples extra

special by incorporating flavorful ingredients, such as highquality Jimmy Dean sausage. Known for its great taste and

quality, Jimmy Dean sausage comes in varieties that feature

seasonal flavors such as sage, so traditional dishes like

stuffing are as flavorful as ever.

Roasts, hams and turkeys need time to rest after they

come out of the oven and before you slice and serve them

anywhere from 45 minutes to 1 1/2 hours. Use this time to

cook quick items like vegetables, stuffing and dinner rolls.

Have a great mix of colors in your holiday dishes. Top

green veggies with bright slices of citrus, add cranberries to

your salad and serve your main dish on a brightly-colored

platter.

Fill your holidays with flavor by trying one of these

crowd-pleasing recipes or visit www.jimmydean.com for

Hi t f th Th k i i P d

Thousands of people line the streets

of midtown Manhattan every year

to catch a glimpse of the balloons

and performers marching in the Macy's

Thanksgiving Day Parade. Millions more

will tune in to watch it on television. TheMacy's parade is intertwined with

Thanksgiving, making it as much a part of

the holiday as turkey and pumpkin pie.

The parade has evolved throughout the

years, and the history of the parade is both

interesting and informational.

Historians believe the parade was insti-

tuted by European immigrants who made

up the majority of employees at the retail

giant Macy's. In the 1920s, employees who

were now proud Americans wanted to cel-

ebrate with traditions that were similar totraditions in Europe. This included a

parade down the streets. Animals were bor-

rowed from the Central Park Zoo, bands

played and marchers wore different cos-

tumes.

In 1927, concern for children lining the

parade route led parade officials to replace

live animals with the signature helium bal-

loons people now know and love. A drag-on and Felix the Cat were some of the first

balloons. The festivities continued to grow

during the 1930s, when Santa was added to

the parade's growing list of participants.

1933 was the only year that Santa led the

parade rather than closed it.

During World War II, the parade was

put on hiatus, as the rubber for the balloons

and the helium was donated to the war

effort. The parade resumed in 1945 and

was televised only in New York. The 1947

film "Miracle on 34th Street" made theparade even more popular. NBC televised

the parade nationwide the following year,

drawing viewers from all over the country.
