The West Morris Soccer Club (WMSC) donated 44 usedand new soccer balls to various orphanagesand villagesin Monrovia, Liberia this past August.
Theclub collected 'gently used' balls from both recreation andtravel soccer members, and added a few new ones as well.
The soccer balls were shipped to the brother of WMSCBoard member Bruce Sullivans, Paul Sullivan, who is
assigned overseas in Monrovia this past year. Paul facilitat-ed the delivery and expressed his appreciation, this is likeChristmas in September for these children. Soccer plays alarge role in daily life and development here in Liberia.
Paul indicated these balls will replace the makeshift ballsthey currently use, that consist of taped corrugated ballsmade from scraps. Unlike the current makeshift balls, thenew soccer balls will last for years.
The West Morris Soccer club plans to hold another col-lection this coming spring. More details will be shared incoming months. West Morris Soccer Club offers an array ofsoccer programs ranging from introductory play to highly
competitive teams and supports Mendham and Chesteryoung athletes. For more information on West MorrisSoccer Club, visit the club website at: www. westmorrissoc-cerclub.org

and other local businesses collected coats for donation. Thousands of coats were given

To the Editor;
O
n behalf of the Chester Lioness
Club I would like to extend our
most sincere thanks to the manyresidents, Scouts, and organizations of the
Chesters and surrounding communities who
donated a frozen turkey and canned or dry
goods for the Thanksgiving Baskets to fam-
ilies in need. All of the donors graciously
wrote their e-mails or phone numbers on a
list to be referenced for future use as needs
develop within our communi ty and the
immediate area.
Annually, the Chester Lioness Club is
responsible for more than 18 of the
Thanksgiving Baskets which are given
anonymously to folks in our area; however,
the food pantry actually did more than 50
baskets this Thanksgiving. The Lionesses
provide a box of approximately 45 lbs of
canned and dry foods which accompanies a
large roasting pan containing a turkey and
fresh vegetables (another 25-40 lbs) for
each family. Your generosity in donating
canned and dry goods as well as frozen
turkeys provided an ample supply for the
food pan try to make s imilar "baskets"
which are actually given on a monthly
basis. Extra turkeys, hams, lasagna etc. are
stored in the food pantry freezers for distri-
bution during the ensuing months.
Our community businesses and farmersareoutstanding when a response is request-
ed to provide assistance. Special thanks go
to the owner of the Mendham Health &
Racquet Club who annually donates numer-
ous frozen turkeys, and to Alstede Farms,
Ledgewood Farm Market and Ort Farms for
generous donations of produce although
this year's growing season was poor, and to
Reckett Benckeiser (French Foods) for
donations of condiments to make every-
thing tasty! In addition, the Chester Shop
Rite allowed customers to donate their free
turkey directly by consumers leaving their
information at the check out counter. This
was an enormous blessing as the food
pantry was able to obtain the frozen turkeys
from the Shop Rite and transport them
directly to the food pantry freezers .
Many Thanks on behalf of the Chester
Lioness Club, God Bless You All and have
a Wonderful Holiday Season.
Holly Simmenroth,
Food Baskets Chairperson
The Chester Lioness Club

Theindoorwinter sportsseason isnowunderway, butits nottoo late to take a glance back at what local programs wereable to accomplish during the fall, especially, when a team
was able to achieve as much as the West Morris Central High
Schoolfield hockeysquad didduringtheir 2011 season.West Morris had what can easily be described as an out-
standing year as thetalliedan overall recordof 18-2 andwere10-1 in the Northwest Jersey Athletic Conference NationalDivision.
WMC advanced to the semifinal round of the NJSIAANorth II Group III Sectional Tournament where they weredefeated by eventual Sectional andStateGroupIII championFreehold Borough.
Although they may have made it look so at times, it was-nt an easy road for WMC, as they faced many tough oppo-nents on the field.
This season we had a lot of overtime games, West
Morris Central head coach Courtney Bertos said. Our firstone of the season, the girls won a 4-3 in overtimeagainstoneof the best teams in the area-Boonton. That showed howmuch heart they were going to have all season.
Our two wins over Chatham were huge victories as well.They have a great team and we were not only able to beatthem once, but twice. And finally, our Madison game in theMorris County Tournament finalstands out because althoughwe didnt win, weplayed as hard as we could and left every-thing on the field.
What really helped them was the solid, steady perform-ance of the team captains.
Our senior captains really stood out as great leaders,
Bertos said. Erin Gutkind, Michelle Hennelly, MichaelaDomaratzky, and Jen Cuozzo did a great job motivating and
encouraging the younger players as well as leading with agood example on the field.
Several student-athletes showed the ability to progressive-ly improve themselves as field hockey players and thus help-ing the team in general this year.
A lot of our younger players stepped into this role,Bertos said. Sophomores Lindsay Roller, Emily Rubright,and Alyssa Perkalis and freshman Kayla Mosser all earnedstarting positions on varsity and contributed in differentwayseach game. They did so by providing goals, assists, defense,etc. They got better every day they came to practice and Icant wait to see them keep growing.
Withthe depth andexperience that shehas returningto theroster, Bertos is optimistic for the 2012 season.
Even though we are graduating some stand-out players,we had a fairly young team this year, Bertos said. We willbring back our whole defense, who now has experience inbig games. The younger players were able to contribute this
year and last, and we have some girls eager on the sidelinesto win a starting position.I am very excited to seenext yearsgroup rise to the challenge.
While the head coach excited about what the future holdsfor the program, she wont soon forget the contributions ofthis seasons senior class.
I am extremelyproudof theteam's accomplishments thisseason, Bertos said. They followed in the traditions setbefore them andmade a name forthemselves.We were com-petitive in the Conference, County and State and hope thatnext year's group will work just as hard to continue the tradi-tion of success. We will miss all of our seniors and I want tothank them for all they have given the program they are Jen
Cuozzo, Michaela Domaratzky, Michelle Hennelly, ErinGutkind, Mimi Journey, and Natasha Seals.

2011 has been a great year for our dealer-
ship, and it couldnt have been done
without the hard work of our team, a
great manufacturer, and most of all, our loyal
clients. Thats The Acura of Denville Family.
Much more than a sappy slogan, its a living,
breathing thing. Our in-store environment.
Our staff, many of whom have been with us
well over 10 years. Its the fact that we truly
area family-run business started andstill oper-
ated by my father Jerry, who has always put
the customers needs first. Most of all, The
Acura of Denville Family is the result of our
dedication to our clientele and their loyalty to
our business. Isnt that what family is really
about? Maybe that sounds a little bit mushy,
but tis the season
We wish you and your families a great
holiday and a happy and a healthy New

Chanukah -The Festival of Lights -
for many of us brings back fond
memories of childhood years andserves to renew our sense of identity. The
Chanukah lights provide us with warmth,
joy, strength and inspiration. Such is the
purpose of a community-wide celebration

in Chester, sponsored by the Chabad Jewish
Center an affiliate of the Rabbinical
College of America.
The program will also feature live
Jewish music, hot latkes, doughnuts, drei-
dels, a raffle and more.
Chanukah, a celebration for all time, ishighlighted by the kindling of the Menorah
each night of the holiday. "It is a holiday
that enriches our lives with the light of tra-
dition" says Rabbi Yaacov Shusterman,
director of the Chabad Jewish Center. "In
ancient times, our ancestors rededicated the
Temple in Jerusalem with the Menorah.
Today, we rededicate ourselves to making
this world a better and brighter place."
In its Chanukah outreach campaign, theChabad Jewish Center joins thousands of
Chabad centers across the globe that are
stag ing s imil ar pub lic di splays of the
Menorah and its symbolic lights . From
Austral ia to Africa , Columbia to Hong
Kong, New York Citys ground zero to the
White House lawn, hundreds of thousands
will experience the joy of Chanukah with
Chabad.

Ceremony.The program will be held on Wednesday,

Clients receive more than
just legaladviceandrep-
resentation when theyretain attorney William D. Wareforlegal services.
Mr. Ware, a resident of
Mt. Olive, is a solo practi-tioner with an office in
Chester forthe last twoyears.Specializing in criminal
defense and municipal court,
Ware goes beyond his prac-tice of law by providing his
clients with advice and coun-sel during difficult times.
I hope that people in thearea know there are goodattorneys out there trying to
do good work who truly care
about what they are doing,says Ware. We are more
than just service providers.We should be able to offer
clients counsel.
We are counselors, con-tinues Ware. We have to
remember that is part of thevocation. I take that part very
seriously.Ware is a certified trial
attorney with vast courtroom
experience. At his law prac-tice, he handles general prac-
tice cases ranging fromemployment law, immigra-tion, family law, contracts,
domestic violence, and more.
I handle everything frommurder cases to DWI cases
and everything in between,he says. Most of the cases
that Ive handled have had
successful outcomes.Prior to opening his own
practice at 154 Route 206 inChester, Mr. Ware worked as
a partner in a law firm inMorristown for 10 years.Before that, he worked as an
AssistantProsecutorin Essex
County, an experience thathas allowed me to learn how
to try a case, he says, whileprotecting victims of crimes.
Practicing law for close to
25 years, William Warereceived his law degree in
1988 from Vermont LawSchool. He received his
bachelors degree from DrewUniversity in Madison
majoring in English.
Ware admits that workinginthe law field was not going
to be his career pursuit atfirst.
It wasnt my first love,
he admits, adding that his
plan was to pursue a job inteaching, preferably as an
English teacher.I kind of fell into it,
working in the law field he
says. Something inside memade me want to investigate
or consider the Law as aninterest.
Ware has taken his posi-tion even one step further byreaching out to his clients
with counseling advice.
Its not just a job, hesays, its a relationship. My
clients become friends, life-long acquaintances. They
stay in touch.
Ware explains that Overthe years, having being a
prosecutor and sending peo-ple to jail, Ive developed a
sense that everything is notblack and white. Being on
William D. Ware, Not Your Average Attorneythe defense side now, as a
person of faith, a RomanCatholic, Ware says he "sees
the grey much more.""People make mistakes - itdoes not mean they are bad
people."
The connection betweenlife, faith and work is very
strong, he says. As adefense attorney, people who
have serious problems come
to me. I try to minister tothem pastorally by helping
them because many of themhave broken lives.
The underlying problemis they dont know why theyare here or what they are
doing, continues Ware. I
have a cross in my office. Ido talk about faith and get
them connected to who theyare and why God put themon
this earth. If someone has a
different faith, then I willlook for common ground. At
the end of the day, there iscommon ground between the
three common faiths.Ware has realized that
being able to help someone
who issufferingwho isin thedarkness and bringing them
into the lightthats morerewarding than the case
work, he says. The real joy
is making the difference tobring them out of the dark
and into the light and get-ting someone to understand
that there is more to life than
living for oneself.
At the end of the day, Mr.Ware reminds all who come
to him, "God is in charge,fear is useless - what is need-
ed is trust."

ew Jersey Blood Services (NJBS), a
division of the New York Blood
Center (NYBC), is calling upon the
communities it serves to please donateblood. Donations of type O-negative are
particularly needed immediately. While
NJBS calls upon blood donors to help
achieve its goal of a 5-7 day supply of all
types, healthy people of all blood types and
ethnicities are also encouraged to donate to
help save lives.
People with O-negative blood are known
as universal donors because their blood
can be transfused into anyone. Type O-neg-
ative blood is found in just 6 percent of the
population, but is used more often bypatients with other blood types, especially
in emergency rooms and trauma situations.
We must remember that the need for
blood is constant. Hospital use of blood
products remains high -- due to surgeries,
emergencies and care of cancer patients.
About one in seven people entering a hospi-
tal needs blood.
With the school season well underway,
NJBS would like to encourage students,
teachers and faculty to please organizeblood drives, a process that teaches commu-
nity service and leadership skills, and
engages the surrounding community. To
date, about 600 elementary and middle
schools have sponsored Little Doctors
Program blood drives. NYBC and NJBS
also offer scholarships for high school and
college students who initiate and coordinate
successful community blood drives.
Donating blood or organizing a blood
drive can be a thoughtful way of honoring
or remembering someone special within thecommunity. Over the years, hundreds of
blood drives have been dedicated to stu-
dents, faculty and community members.
To donate blood, please call toll free at 1-
800-933-BLOOD (2566). For more infor-
mation, visit the Web at
www.nybloodcenter.org.

America's future. How many more extrava-
gant vacations will he take before the end of
the year?
Are you going to let the news media dis-courage you by constantly bashing
Republican candidates? Jimmy Carter was
beaten, Obama is beatable. The war is on,
don't get discouraged by the negative stories
you will read in newspapers and what you
see on television about Republicans.
You will see news story after news story
about how great the economy is. Left wing
economists will make the rounds on TV
telling you that more deficit stimulus spend-
ing will create jobs and is good for the econ-omy. (An empty promise) The truth is
Obama can't run on his record. He will have
to go negative and attack the character of
the Republican candidate. ( the politics of
personal destruction)
You will hear lie after lie about any
Obama Is Beatable
continued from page 26 Republican candidate the news media
thinks will be a credible threat to Obama.
Look at what they did to Sarah Palin. Have
you noticed that the news media has not
bashed Palin that much since she decidednot to run? Sarah Palin was a credible threat
to Obama's second term.
This leads me to the exception, Mitt
Romney. The news media wants Mitt
Romney to be the Republican presidential
nominee because they know they have legit-
imate issues to raise against him in the
presidential election. Mitt Romney is on
record as being "for" and "against" a whole
host of very serious issues. He's for" gay
rights," he's "against gay rights." Romney is
for a woman's right to choose. Romney is
pro-life. Romney's health care legislation in
Mass. is the model for Obama-Care.
Democrat political strategists are licking
their chops hoping and praying that
Romney will be the Republican nominee.
Mitt Romney is flip flopper, the John Kerry
of the Republican party. ( Is it a coincidence
they both come from Mass.?)The 2012 presidential election will a
very difficult campaign, that promises to be
filled with surprises, attacks, drama and a
few unintended consequences that will
make for exciting political theater. The
Iowa Cacaus is January 3rd and the New
Hampshire primary is Jan. 10th. But in the
meantime, don't let the news discourage
you. Support the Republican nominee. You,
me and the rest of America can not afford
another 4 years of Barack Obama.
Merry Christmas, Happy Hanukkah and
Happy New year to all. Agree? Disagree?

By Michele Guttenberger
It was Thomas Edison who gave the
world electric Christmas tree lights andfestive outdoor lighting manufactured
from the Edison Illumination Company.
Edward H. Johnson was both a partner and
friend of Edison and was also the Vice
President of the Edisons Illumination
Company. Johnsons home became the first
home in 1882 to have electric tree lights.
But a few train commuters got to see an
electric light show a few years before the
Johnson family tree was lit. In 1880, these
same strands of electrical lights were strung
around the outside perimeter of EdisonsMenlo Park Laboratory. Lucky New Jersey
train passengers got to experience the
worlds first electrical Holiday light display
as the trains traveled pass his laboratory
location.
The first electric Christmas tree at the
Johnsons home had a patriotic color
scheme of red, white and blue and it also
rotated.
The American public was not eager to
use electric lights for their trees because
they feared the safety on this new technolo-
gy. It took a President to start an American
electric tree lighting tradition. In 1895,
President Cleveland had the White Housefamily Christmas tree illuminated with elec-
tric light bulbs. The tree was decked with
hundreds of multi-colored lights.
Although electric Christmas tree lighting
may have taken over forty years from its
inception to become an American house-
hold tradition, this was not true with the
phonograph industry. Realizing the love of
recorded music in American households
(another holiday tradition), was discovered
by accident. In 1890 Edison's Talking Doll
with a pre-recorded cylinder became a mar-keting marvel. It was the first home enter-
tainment prerecorded sound device. The
talking doll industry proved to be a disaster
with more broken dolls returned than sold
making the Edison Phonograph Toy
Manufacturing Co a short lived venture.
However, it helped inspire the launch of a
new market for the household phonograph
and record industry.
By 1902, having a record phonograph
and prerecorded music in your home was on
the To Santa Wish List for many American
Thomas Edison Brought Modern Day HolidayCelebration to the American Household
households. In 1902 Edison had perfected
his music cylinder records with the Edison
Gold Moulded Records, an improved hardblack wax cylinder that could be played
hundreds of times before wearing out. This
music was brought to the American house-
hold through Edisons recording studio in
New Jersey. It is this studio that concentrat-
ed the USA recording industry in the New
York City - New Jersey area, making it the
record capital of the nation.
Another American Holiday tradition is
watching Holiday themed movies. This is
still another credit we can give to Thomas
Edison. Besides a recording studio in NewJersey, he also produced cinema at the New
Jersey movie studio in West Orange. This
studio was affectionately nicknamed the
Black Maria and was erected in 1892. One
of the first family Christmas movies was
produced by the Thomas Edison Company.
It was the Charles Dickens' 1843 classic
novel A Christmas Carol which wasreleased for the 1910 Holiday Season.
Technical limitations forced this story to be
condensed into a 17 minute film. However,
the special effects were the pioneering mas-
tery of double exposure techniques.
Today you can still visit the recording
studio, see the Talking Doll, watch a silent
movie or tour the outdoor movie studio at
West Orange, NJ where so many modern
American holiday traditions were started.
