Proverbs 3:5
By Kate Halse
Early in September,
Morris County resi-
dents were treatedto a display of vintage
World War II planes at the
Morristown Municipal
Airport. The event, which
began on September 2, ran
through Friday, September
6.
The display was part of
The Collings Foundation
Wings of Freedom Tour,
which featured the World
War II Vintage Boeing B-17 Flying Fortress, the
Consolidated B-24
Liberator, and a North
American P-51 Mustang.
Airplane enthusiasts
and history buffs had an
opportunity to visit the dis-
play, explore the exhibits,
and learn more about the
historic aircraft and their
roles in history. The
Vintage Boeing B-17Flying Fortress is just one
of eight planes of its kind
throughout the country that
are in flying condition.
Both the B-24 Liberator
and the North American P-
51 Mustang are the only
remaining planes of their
kind in the world that are
flying.
The event was open to
adults and children alike,
Wings of Freedom Tour Makes Stop in Morristown
all of whom were able to
get an up-close viewing of
the aircraft, as well as tours
through the inside of each
plane. World War II veter-
ans were able to take a tour
of the airplanes for free.
Throughout the event,visitors were given the
chance to take a 30-minute
flight aboard these historic
airplanes. Flights were
available on either the B-
17 or B-24 and were $425
per person. Visitors who
wanted to take a ride on the
P-51 Fighter paid $2,200
for a half hour or $3,200
for a full hour. The 30-
minute flights are typically
given before and after the
ground tours.
Ground tours were
available for visitors for
the majority of the day on
September 5 and for half
the day on September 6.
The goal of the CollingsFoundation is to help
organize and support
events that demonstrate a
living history so that citi-
zens can learn more about
history through direct par-
ticipation. Originally, the
group focused on events
that were related to trans-
portation, such as antique
car rides, hill climbs, and
carriage and sleigh rides.
However, the focus was
expanded to include avia-
tion in the 1980s. Through
this expansion, the founda-
tion was able to include
events such as air shows,
historical reunions,
Vietnam Memorial Flights,and the Wings of Freedom
Tour.
In the 20 years that it
has been focused on avia-
tion, the foundation has
amassed an impressive col-
lection of historic aircraft.
Many of these airplanes
have been recovered and
carefully restored. The
majority of these airplanes

Nearly one year has passed since the
historic Hurricane Sandy hit New
Jersey and the surrounding areas.
Although flooding was expected to be the
primary issue, wind damage is what hit the
area the hardest. Since then, towns have con-
tinued to clean up damaged areas and try to
recoup financial losses from the storm.
Many New Jersey residents were unpre-
pared for the wrath of the storm, which came
just a year after a freak Noreaster storm
piled as much as 19 inches of snow onto
some parts of the state. However, officials
agreed that the damage from Hurricane
Sandy was more devastating overall.
Although trees were cleared and wires
were replaced long ago, some Morristownresidents are still working to recover damage
that was done to their homes and properties,
and the town is trying to recover financially.
Fortunately, aid from the government has
begun to trickle in.
In late August of this year, the state Office
of Emergency Management (OEM) noted
that Morristown had received a portion of the
$51 billion package that was approved by
congress. The state office has been helping to
distribute Federal Emergency Management
Agency (FEMA) funding for those aroundthe state who were affected by the storm.
The majority of the money that has been
distributed will be used towards reimburse-
ment for debris removal and various safety
measures, as noted by the OEM accounting
of public assistance payments. Additional
OEM figures will be used to cover paymentsto municipalities along with a variety of pub-
lic entities. Some private companies may
also be eligible beginning on July 30.
Officials from the OEM noted that the
numbers were actual dollars that had been
received by municipalities to help cover
emergency costs. These numbers were not
the result of requests that had been made or
of applications that were still in the works.
Money has been dispersed to affected
businesses and residents in Morristown. In
total, the town has received at least $47,000in aid and the Morris Museum has received
nearly $8,000.
Aside from Morristown, other towns
throughout the state have finally begun to
receive assistance as well. One such town is
Allendale, which was notified in the middle
of August that it would be receiving reim-
bursements and aid. Some of the reimburse-
ments include overtime costs, restoration
fees, and cleanup efforts.
The town also had a lucky break when
Councilwoman Liz White received news thatthe town would be reimbursed for up to 90
Morristown Receives Long-awaited FEMA Aidpercent of its expenses, rather than the usual
75 percent. White noted that the town has
already received around $80,000 in aid from
FEMA, with more money on the way. When
asked just how much money the town was
expending, White responded by saying that
they could receive up to $150,000 in reim-
bursement costs.
New Brunswick was also part of the $51
million package in aid for towns that were
affected by the hurricane. As with many
towns, most of New Brunswicks own funds
went towards cleanup efforts. In turn, the
majority of municipalities disbursements
have helped to offset the costs of debris
removal. As of July 30, 2013, New
Brunswick has received numerous payments.
Over $70,000 has gone to the Board of
Education, while nearly $41,000 has been
distributed to the New Brunswick Parking
Authority.
A full report of payments that have been
received in towns throughout New Jersey
can be found at: http://www.ready.nj.gov-

Last years Morristown Art Walk was so
successful, with over 300 people
browsing and conversing with more
than 50 artists showcasing their work, that
artist and organizer Julie Friedman of
ArtSpace Studio and event partner MorrisArts have decided to make it an annual hap-
pening. If you missed the excitement last
year, dont worry you can catch it this year on
Sunday, October 6th from noon to 5:00pm.
This family friendly event has grown to
include over 70 artists at 10 different venues
from one end of South Street to the other and
3 venues on Maple Avenue in Morristown.
Friedmans ArtSpace Studio, located at 14
Elm Street in Morristown, will be the official
headquarters for the Morristown Art Walk.
ArtSpace studio is a gathering place for artiststo share creative energy and have a place to
produce their work. Throughout the year they
offer classes, workshops, networking groups
and studio rental space to artists.
Friedman, an inspiring pastel artist and art
teacher, is thrilled that the event grew so
much in just one year, The message is loud
and clear, Morristowns got the good art vibe:
people want to see more local art events and
artists want to share their passions with the
public. Her vision was to organize an event
to offer Morris County artists the opportunity
to showcase and sell their work and to con-nect with the community, while promoting
Morristown as a hub for the Arts.
Kadie Dempsey, Director of Arts in
Community at Morris Arts, says If people
want to know what the word Creative
Placemaking is all about, the Art Walk with
Julie Freidman taking a leadership role, is a
great example of artists taking ownership in
their own community and creating vibrancy
in the downtown. Events that are community
based like the Art Walk enrich the local econ-
omy by supporting local artists and business-es this helps to create a more interesting and
exciting downtown area. Maps will be avail-
able at all locations hosting artists and loca-
tions will be clearly marked with balloons
and signs. For more information contact Julie
Friedman, ArtSpace Studio, 201-819-0371

homeowners. Despite some changes andrenovations over the years, the store isproud to retain its small-business atmos-
phere and the ability to give individual,expert attention to each of its customers.
Today the store is a mature, modern ver-sion of its original self, frequented by con-struction professionals, homeowners, and
top interior designers and architects from allover the tri-state area.

Going on 85 years, The Kiwanis Club of Morristown
continues to help youth locally and around the
world through projects, charities and.a smile.
Chartered in 1929, The Kiwanis Club of Morristowncurrently has 22 members that serve Morristown and
Morris Township. Membership is open to anyone interested
in reaching out to the children in the community and better-
ing their lives.
The major goal of the Kiwanis club is to teach children
leadership skills and the importance of charity through proj-
ects and afterschool programs. It also supports local agen-
cies and gives back to the community through various pro-
grams.
Our primary focus is to help the youth of the world,
says Steve McKinley, president of the Kiwanis Club of
Morristown for the past three years.
The Kiwanis Club of Morristown supports and sponsors
the Morristown Key Club at Morristown High School with
more than 100 members; the Key Club at Morristown Beard
School with 30 students; and the Builders Club at
Frelinghuysen Middle School with about 50 student mem-
bers.
McKinley says the Kiwanis club teaches these students
leadership skills and gives them a basis for charitable
foundation of giving back to the school community by
supporting local charities.
Both key clubs pick which charities they would like to
support, explains McKinley. They also tutor and nurture
younger kids in the school system.
We put up funds to get them organized, sys McKinley.
We give them a banner, insurance for activities and act in
a mentoring role for them. A Kiwanis member also serves
as a directed advisor to each group. Each student group
holds its own meetings.
The key clubs and builders club raise money for
Childrens Specialized Hospital in New Brunswick teach-
ing them to give back to their peers and those less fortu-
nate, says McKinley.
They also support Kiwanis International and its $110
million Eliminate Project. Kiwanis and UNICEF are work-
ing together to eliminate maternal and neonatal tetanus. The
painful disease kills one baby every nine minutes, and
nearly 60,000 babies and women each year, according to
the Kiwanis International website.
We are trying to raise funds to provide tetanus shots to
kids and mothers in 42 countries around the world, says
McKinley. For $1.80 per shot, we can cure the problem.
The Kiwanis Club of Morristown has supported many
local groups such as Market Street Mission, Morristown
Babe Ruth League, American Cancer Society, American
Red Cross, Homeless Solutions, Project Acorn, Morristown
Partnership and Morristown Clean Communities Program.
On Sat., Oct. 12, The Kiwanis Club of Morristown will
hold its Shred Event at Morristown Town Hall on South
Street from 9 a.m. until noon. Local residents are invited to
haul down their papers and documents to be shredded for a
small donation.
The Kiwanis Club of Morristown also helps to keep the
community clean by participating in community clean ups
and helps the homeless by cooking for Homeless Solutions
at its facility in Morris Township.
The club holds weekly breakfast or dinner meetings. For
more information, donations or to join, call Steve McKinley
at 973-277-4171 or go to www.morristownkiwanisnj.org.
We are trying to grow the membership so we could pro-
vide more service to the community, says McKinley, who
has been involved for 30 years.
Once you see the smile on a young persons face and
you realize you shared something they can have the rest of
their life, its worth every second, says McKinley. Its
making kids happy.
For the fall festival in town, the Kiwanis Club of
Morristown buys close to 200 mini pumpkins from Ort
Farms in Long Valley and provides every color of the
spectrum of the magic marker to three, four, five and six
year olds who attend, says McKinley.
You see the tongue go to one side, the smile, the gig-
glesit makes a father whose youngest child is 22 relapse
into childhood again, he says. You cant buy a better
video. You marvel to see them partake in that activity.
Thats just fun.

Wings of Freedom Tour...
are open to the public, who can view the planes at air-
shows, events, and airports throughout the country.
Aside from the planes that were brought to the
Morristown airport, the foundation has several that are
still flying. In the Early Aviation Collection, there is a
1909 Bleriot Type XI and a 1911 Wright Vin Fiz, which
is a replica. The World War II Collection includes a
Fiesler FI-156 Storch, a Grumman TBM Avenger, and an
FM-2 Wildcat.
The Wings of Freedom Tour celebrates its 24th run-
ning this year. On average, the tour stops in 110 cities and
35 states each year.
Athree-part series
regarding Jewish
environmental spir-
ituality and practice will
take place at the MorrisCounty Library in
Whippany starting in
October.
Rabbi Lawrence Troster,
a religious environmental
leader and Jewish eco-the-
ologian, will be conducting
the series at the library,
which is located across from
the Frelinghuysen
Arboretum.
Rabbi Troster currently
works as the rabbinical
scholar-in-residence at
GreenFaith. This organiza-
tion is the interfaith envi-
ronmental coalition in the
state of New Jersey.
Additionally, Rabbi Troster
was the former creator and
director of the GreenFaith's
fellowship program.
The first session will
begin at around 12 noon on
Wednesday, October 9.
Session two will start on
October 16 at 11:30 am. The
third session will start onOctober 23 around 11:30
am.
The series is free and
open to the public, and will
be sponsored by the
National Council of Jewish
Women (NCJW), West
Morris Section's Our Jewish
World. Melanie Levitan and
Ellen Nesson, both of
Morristown, are leading the
council. The goal of the
three-part series is to intro-
duce the major ideas and
practices of Jewish environ-
mentalism.
"Ten Teachings on
Jewish Environmentalism"
is the first session, which
will focus on Jewish envi-
ronmentalism and the ideas,
practices, and major sources
behind it. A variety of topics
Jewish Environmentalism Series to Begin in Octoberwill be covered in the ses-
sion, such as an individual's
relation to creation, Jewish
sustainability, biodiversity,
environmental justice andtikkun olam, a Hebrew
phrase for "repairing the
world."
In session two, "Mekor
Hayyim (Source of Life):
The Meaning of Water in
Judaism," will focus on
environmental issues from a
Jewish perspective. One of
the issues begins with the
fact that the amount of fresh
drinking water is decreasing
due to factors such as popu-
lation growth, climate
change and pollution.
Another issue is that simply
having access to water is
quickly becoming one of
this century's major world
security problems.
Session three is "Beyond
the Letter of the Law:
Jewish Ethical Action and
Investing in Light of
Climate Change." This ses-
sion will investigate prob-
lems such as whether indi-
viduals should invest inenergy companies that work
to promote the consumption
of fossil fuels, which are
one of the primary sources
of climate change. Then the
session will tackle issues
such as who is morally
responsible for the actions
of the companies that are
part of one's portfolio when
investing in stocks or mutu-
al funds? To find theanswers, relevant classic
and modern sources will be
looked at.
Rabbi Troster brings to
the program an impressive
resume and plenty of rele-vant experience. He is cur-
rently a member of Al
Gore's Climate Reality
Project Leadership Corps.
In addition, he held the
position of Rabbinical
Fellow for the Coalition on
the Environment and Jewish
Life. Rabbi Troster has also
published a variety of arti-
cles and routinely lectures
for large audiences. Topicshave ranged from eco-theol-
ogy, bio-ethics, Judaism,
and modern cosmology.
"Mekor Hayyim: A Source
Book on Water and
Judaism" is one of RabbieTroster's most recent publi-
cations. He is also an
accomplished public speak-
er and has been a keynote
speaker at an array of con-
ferences.

Mrs. Wilsons Treatment Center for
Women is offering Morristown
and the surrounding communities,
free drug and alcohol family education and
support sessions at their Morristown facility.The programs fall 2013 educational series
is scheduled for one Sunday a month for
four months. The sessions are topic orient-
ed addressing such issues as: how families
and friends can help, where to get help,
readiness to change, blame and shame,
recovery, and more. The fall series will
begin Sunday September 22, 2013. All four
sessions will be held from 10:00AM to
11:30 at 56 Mt. Kemble Ave. Morristown.
The session topic details are as follows:
September 22: The session will includean explanation of treatment services avail-
able for women and methods of identifying
treatment centers. The discussion will also
address the emotional suffering of the fami-
ly and the substance abuser.
October 20: The session will address
issues regarding the addict and familys
readiness to change. This session will also
include a discussion about enabling behav-
ior. Because many drug abusers deny they
have a problem, they will not seek help on
their own. Therefore, knowledgeable family
members, friends or co-workers may need
to assist the user to seek treatment. This ses-sion is designed to assist in making difficult
decisions.
November 17: The session will focus on
specific drugs of abuse with an emphasis
upon prescription medications and the
growing use of heroin. The non-medical
use or abuse of prescription drugs is a seri-
ous and growing public health problem.
Prescription drugs in the opiate family, such
as Vicodin (hydrocodone) and oxycontin,
are often prescribed for chronic pain or
recovery from surgery. Benzodiazepines,such as Valium or Xanax, are prescribed to
treat anxiety. Most people take prescription
medications responsibly; however, an esti-
mated 48 million people (ages 12 and older)
have used prescription drugs for non-med-
ical reasons in their lifetimes. This repre-
sents approximately 20 percent of the U.S.
population. Addiction to prescription opi-
ates often leads many to the use of heroin.

Welcome to Morris County! Thats
how the staff at the Morris
County Tourism Bureau, located
at 6 Court Street in Morristown, greet walk-
in visitors to our area from around the
world. People visit the office from every
continent. In just one recent week people on
holiday from France, England and New
Zealand came into the office seeking maps,
brochures and advice on things to do local-
ly. In fact, nearly 2,500 people visit the
Tourism Bureau each year and tourism to
Morris County is a $1.8 billion dollar indus-
try benefitting local historical and cultural
attractions, restaurants and hotels.
The Tourism Bureau was begun in 1997
with a small staff of one, Leslie Bensley
the current executive director. Over the
years the staff and its responsibilities have
grown. The office has biennially produced
the official Morris County Visitors Guide
and the latest version is due out this fall. Itwill be a Special Edition in honor of two
events of historic proportion: the 2014
Super Bowl set to be played on February
2nd in MetLife Stadium and a celebration of
New Jerseys 350th anniversary (New
Jersey was settled in 1664).
The NFL has estimated that the econom-
ic benefit to the metropolitan area due to the
Super Bowl will reach $500 million dollars
and bring an estimated 400,000 visitors to
Morris County Tourism Bureau Celebrates Its 15th Yearthe area. The Tourism Bureaus role is two-
fold: to provide an overall positive experi-
ence for visitors to our area and to ensure

In partnership with Tourism Bureaumembers, there will be special events
planned during football season and leading
up to the big game. One activity that the
Tourism Bureau will sponsor is a sand

Place and Washington Street. There will be
a football themed basket raffle held for fes-
tival visitors. Look for other events being
held throughout the county in the run-up tothe Super Bowl by going to the Tourism
Bureaus web site: morristourism.org
The Tourism Bureau maintains an up-to-
the-minute calendar of events on its web
site for use by anyone looking for things to
do. Additionally, they send an e-blast to
subscribers every two weeks with the top
suggestions for activities in the area. The
Tourism Bureau also offers original histori-
cal walking tours in the summer and fall and
participates in such events as Revolutionary
Times, the Saint Patricks Day parade and
Holly Days. Couples planning to marry,
meeting planners and realtors stop in to pick
up information like maps, calendars, maga-
zines and information that assists with relo-
cation to the area.

Fall brings with it
beautiful weather,
cool breezes and col-
orful foliage. Celebrate all
of the beauty, fun and fla-
vors of the season with your
family. Take a hike, visit a
pumpkin patch, plan a party
or spend the afternoon bak-
ing autumn-inspired treats.
Here are a few fun ideas
to enjoy fall with your fam-
ily:
One traditional fall
favorite is apple butter.
Crisp apples are cooked
slowly until the sugars
caramelize into a deep, rich
flavor. Thats also the way
Musselmans makes it.
Spread it on toast, pancakes
or other baked goods. It is
also a great way to add anew flavor to your favorite,
familiar dishes. For tips and
recipes, such as apple or
pumpkin dips, visit
www.musselmans.com.
Take your family to the
pumpkin patch. Pick a
pumpkin or enjoy play-
grounds, hay rides, corn
mazes, petting zoos, hay
forts and farm tours found at
many patches. Take a picnic
and enjoy the day.
Celebrate autumn with
a potluck. Encourage guests
to bring dishes made with
classic fall flavors like
caramel, pumpkin, apples
and warm spices. Simply
adding apple butter to
favorite family recipes will
give a cinnamon apple fla-
vor to much loved dishes.
Those lucky enough to
live in an area where leaves
turn breathtaking shades of
bronze, yellow, orange and
red should take advantage
of the natural beauty with a
family hike or slow drive
through the country.Every autumn, nature
puts on a brilliant color
show in many parts of the
country. The beautiful
weather, colorful back-
ground and traditional
activities are the perfect
excuse to embrace fall fun
with your family.

Apples! They are a symbol of the fall.
And what better way to usher in the
season than with the Annual Apple
Festival at the United Presbyterian Churchin Flanders. Held on Saturday, September
28th from 10am 4pm, the festival
includes a live auction, bake sale, bounce
house, hayrides, and much more. The
church is located at 58 Drakesdale Road in
Flanders. Raindate for the festival is
Saturday, October 5th.
If you are looking for a great, totally
safe place to spend a day with your family
and have some fun, good food and great
company, the United Presbyterian Church
in Flanders is the place to be on September
28th, said church member Tom Speer
Speer explained that the Apple festival
has been held annually for about the past 13
years. The idea for the festivals name came
about because of the apple-related baked
goods sold. However, the festival has a vari-
ety of other offerings as well.
A live auction will be held from 1pm to
4pm. The auctioneer is congregation mem-
ber, Lisa Fassett. Speer noted that they are
still collecting items, but to date, there are
free night stays and breakfast at a couple
local hotels good for a year, multiple pizza
shop pizzas, tickets to sporting events,
signed sports autographs, and more. We
usually end up with nearly 75 items to auc-
tion off.
There will be a variety of goodies and
items to buy. We have a baked goods
table, hot dogs, hamburgers, popcorn, cold
drinks and more to keep you fed, said
Speer. He noted that there will be vendors
selling things including farm produce, jew-
elry, bird houses, and fishing equipment. At
the book sale table, people will be able to
find both hard and softcover books. Also,
there is a just two bucks table where
people will find many new and maybe
slightly used articles selling for just a cou-
ple of bucks.
The fun includes demonstrations and
childrens games. We are planning on hav-
ing both a local martial arts studio and an
Irish step dance group perform a demonstra-
tion. Demonstrations will be from 10 am
until 1pm, said Speer. In addition, there
will be childrens toss games, hayrides, and
a bounce house.
In the spirit of giving, a bloodmobile will
be on site.
Speers shared , All proceeds [of the fes-
tival] are retained by the church for use in
special unbudgeted projects throughout the
(L to R) Cindy Peach and Lisa Silkowski man last year's homemade baked goods table at
the Apple Festival.

Edison claimed When I got to the first sta-
tion on the run I found the device had
worked beyond my expectations. The plat-
form literally was crowded with men andwomen anxious to buy newspapers.
Thomas Edison gave further praise of his
deafness to Edward Marshall I have no
doubt that my nerves are stronger and better
today than they would have been if I had
heard all the foolish conversation and other
meaningless sounds that normal people
hear. The things that I have needed to hear I
have heard. ..Most nerve strain of our mod-
ern life, I fancy, comes to us through our
ears.
Edison claimed it was his deafness thathelped make improvements to the sound
quality of Bells telephone and helped him
to improve on his own phonograph inven-
tions. He claims his deafness made him
acutely aware of the noise in sound. He
depended on the purity of sound to hear it.
His deafness helped isolate the noise and he
set off to banish the clatter he found - both
the audible and proverbial kind. In Edison
words People with good hearing have
become so accustomed to the uproar of civ-
ilization that the uproar has become neces-
sary to their lives.

When we think of Thomas Edison,
we never think of him as an
inventor challenged with physi-cal disabilities. Edison was deaf most of
this life. Edisons hearing loss was a culmi-
nation of contracting childhood scarlet
fever and further hearing loss at the age of
12 years from a head trauma incident.
Edison spent his entire adult life with
almost total hearing loss.
Thomas Edison gave a very personal
interview about his deafness to journalist
Edward Marshall for Hearsts International
COSMOPOLITAN in April of 1925. He
stated my deafness has not been a handicapbut a help to me. Edison claimed his deaf-
ness aided his learning in his youth I read
Burtons Anatomy of Melancholy - pretty
heavy reading for a youngster. It might
have been, if I hadnt been taught by my
deafness that almost any book will supply
entertainment or instruction.
Thomas Edison spent his youth getting
the typed Headline News before the rest of
the country. He was the newspaper boy for
the passengers of the Grand Trunk railroad
during the Civil War. He learned to parlay
his railroad station access to the only head-
line news medium the newspapers. It was
these stations that had the pulse on transmit-
ting the news. Newspaper companies print-ed the news provided by the telegraph com-
munications stations that transmitted battle
report messages from telegraph wires
across the railroad lines. Here Edison states
..I had a chance to learn that money can be
made out of little careful thought and, being
poor, I already knew that money is a valu-
able thing. Boys who dont know that are
under a disadvantage greater than deafness.
..I was already very deaf. In my isolation
(insulation would be a better term) I had
time to think things out. I decided that if Icould send ahead to outlaying stations a hint
of the big war news which I, there in
Detroit, had learned was coming, I could do
better than normal business when I reached
them. Young Edison convinced the
Detroit Free Press to supply him the just-
off- the -press newspapers on a promise he
would sell them all. Then, Edison had sta-
tion agents who were also the telegraphers
give advance notice to the passengers that a
big headline news story was in the newspa-
per when they arrived at their next station.
