he Ritter Family, people who
brought you Livingston Car Wash, is
at it again. They recently opened
Morristown Car Wash and revitalized the
car wash experience with a high end hand
wash, located in the center of Morristowns
automobile district. The hand wash experi-
ence takes car washing to the next level. Its
an all new, state of the art facility with the
latest and greatest equipment the industry
has to offer and the know how that only
comes with 50 plus years experience. The
facility is specially designed to accommo-
date everything from todays sports cars to
the classics of yester year.
We take every possible step to ensure
that your vehicle is washed in the safest and
most gentle process possible. We prep
every vehicle to ensure that any of the dam-
aging particles that would possibly damage
Morristown Car Wash Has Revitalized The Car Wash Experience
a vehicles finish are removed with high
pressure prior to entering the tunnel wash
process. We believe that the most efficient
and safest way to wash a vehicle is by hand
using mild detergents. Harsh chemicals can
destroy the finish on your vehicle while
stripping off protective waxes leaving the
painted surfaces vulnerable to damage from
environmental factors. After the vehicle is
prepped for washing, thick mild detergents
are foamed onto the vehicle and mitted in to
lift the dirt off of the vehicle. Then the
vehicle proceeds through the tunnel to
receive any extra waxes to protect and shine
the vehicle followed by a fresh water rinse.
After the car passes through the finishing
step in the tunnel, the blowers, the finish-
ing employees towel dry the vehicle with
microfiber towels and pressure blow the
water out of the mirrors and thoroughly
clean all windows.

moreyoull just have to try us.

2. Do not tie bundles with wire! Use
string only.
3. Do not put steel rods or any metal
objects in with the wood.
4. All material must fit through the chip-
per. That means bundles must be less than
twelve inches in diameter and six feet in
length.
5. Please no tree stumps, and no logs
over six feet long - they will not be collect-
ed
It is crucial that the above guidelines be
followed. In the past, our men have been
caught off guard when chipping bundles
that contained wire and even metal rods,
hidden inside the brush. This will damage
the chipper or worse, cause serious injury to
our workers.

T
he Silverman family of Randolph has
started a tradition for their children
of making a donation to a charity on
their birthday. Noah Silverman learned at
the young age of four that giving to others
in the community is a great way to celebrate
his birthday. Noah asked friends who
attended his birthday party not to bring him
a gift. Instead he requested teddy bears to
be donated to CASA of Morris and Sussex
Counties and distributed to children in fos-
ter homes. The Silvermans understand the
A Fourth Birthday Brings Cuddly Teddy Bears to Children in Foster Care
power of compassion and philanthropy and
the importance of teaching this to their chil-
dren.
The teddy bears received huge smiles
from children who need something to cud-
dle and who now know that another child is
thinking of them.
About CASA of Morris and Sussex
Counties
CASA of Morris and Sussex Counties is
part of a statewide network of community-
based, non-profit programs that recruit,
screen, train, and supervise volunteers to
advocate for children removed from home
due to abuse or neglect. CASA is the only
program in New Jersey that uses trained
volunteers to work one on one with chil-
dren, ensuring that each one gets the servic-
es they need and achieves permanency in a
safe, nurturing home. Visit

and Sussex Counties.
T
he new school year will bring many
challenges for children as they get
used to more difficult work in all their
classes, and few subjects build on the prior
years work as much as math.
Many children simply arent ready to pick
up where they left off.
Taking the summer off is good for chil-
dren in a number of ways; they come back to
school relaxed and refreshed. However, they
also come back rusty in their academic sub-
jects none more so than math. Kids who
have spent the summer without solving prob-
lems, calculating answers and checking their
work not only need to refresh their memories
on key concepts but need time to build their
math muscles back up. For many children,
this can result in poor performance in the
early part of the academic year, says Stacey
Cordray of Mathnasium of Mendham,
www.mathnasium.com/mendham.
One solution is some additional math
work in the early fall months. This helps chil-
dren warm up their math muscles and recall
Mathnasium of Mendhams Customized Programs Prepare Kids to Learn Once Again
those important concepts from the prior year
they may no longer remember.
Mathnasium, for example, provides stu-
dents with customized programs that with
two or three hours of week of study can
shake off the fog of summer and prepare
them for the rigors of their new math curricu-
lum. Mathnasium students have shown sig-
nificant increases in performance on stan-
dards-based tests in 20 sessions or fewer, the
equivalent of a few months work. Children
come to Mathnasium either to address diffi-
culties they are having with math or to partic-
ipate in advanced study so they can remain
challenged and further excel in their classes.
Both groups of students understand the
importance of math education for success in
college and beyond.
Some students have the ability to start
the new academic year and keep up with
their math classes by reviewing older materi-
al on their own and doing enough problems
to bring their math muscles back into shape.
But in our experience, many kids struggle. A
program of structured study at Mathnasium
of Mendham or elsewhere can make all the
difference between starting off well and have
a difficult year, Cordray says.

amily owned and operated Morris
Brick & Stone established in 1936, an
icon business in the community spe-
cializing in masonry building and landscape
supplies is proud to announce the Grand
Opening of a new showroom.
The new showroom is located at 94
Ridgedale Avenue, Morristown while the
yard and main office continues to operate at
108 Ridgedale Avenue, Morristown, New
Jersey 07960 behind the Mazda Car dealer-
ship, building # 6.
The new showroom is a 3,500 square-foot
state-of-the-art two-story brick building built
in federal architectural style to keep in preser-
vation of Morristowns heritage.
The showrooms first floor features a wide
selection of imitation and real thin veneer

stone. Thin veneer stone is perfect for interi-
or and exterior building applications such as
fireplaces, chimneys, accent walls, founda-
tions, etc
Thin veneer stone has emerged as a lead-
ing material in the building industry. With
hundreds of options available, thin veneer
stone offers a diversity of color and texture
that can be the crowning achievement to any
construction project.
The second floor showcases a wide selec-
tion of thin brick, full size brick, wall coping,
custom edges for pier caps, fireplace hearths
and mantles.
Morris Brick & Stone set forth a dream for
the new showroom to be a convenient loca-
tion for contractors, landscapers, consumers
and designers to come-in and have their
building needs meet in a technology-driven
and knowledgeable environment.
Comfortable sitting areas are available for
customer comfort to bring in photos and lap-
tops that will provide ease of discussion for
explaining the details of existing and/or
future projects.
Our goal was to build the nicest building
on the block, which we hope will set a new
standard for Ridgedale Avenue, Todd
Goldberg, Vice President of Morris Brick &
Stone Co. said of the building. Our business
is continuing to grow, and with this building
we hope to stay competitive for many years to
come.
One of the main benefits of the new
building is it will be visible to the 27,000 cars
a day which travel Ridgedale Avenue, thus
driving retail traffic. Todd Goldberg said.
The building was built by River Drive
Construction of Elmwood Park, New Jersey.
Were delighted to have worked on this proj-
ect for a number of reasons, said Joseph
Langan, President of River Drive
Construction. First is the quality of the
building: Morris Brick and Stone has chosen
a design with great elegance and style; and
second is the opportunity to work with a busi-
ness with such deep roots in the community:
it isnt often that we get to work with a fami-
ly-owned business that goes back more than
75 years

T
he West Morris Regional High
School District (WMRHSD ) is quite
simply making history lately in terms
of its incredible academic standing.
Superintendent Mackey Pendergrast, in a
phone interview early this month, respond-
ed to recent stellar academic achievements,
and Director of Athletics Jim Baglin also
commented on a victory which Mendham
High School Cheerleaders earned at a recent
Pocono competition.
With respect to academic achievements,
Mackey said in a phone interview earlier
this month Were proud of the affirmation
we see in some of the rankings, referring to
NJ Monthly magazines listing of the best
New Jersey high schools.
More specifically, WMRHSD received
some of the most encouraging news that any
school district could ever hope for: that
Mendham High Schools ranking ascended
from #45 to #4 in New Jersey on this list,
and that in Chester, Central High School's
ranking ascended from #56 to #11.
Pendergrast noted on the school district
website that both of the districts high
schools are International Baccalaureate
World Schools and WMRHSD was the first
school district in NJ to establish the IB pro-
gram.
For the first time ever, the NJ School
Performance Reports included IB along
with AP in its College Readiness Metric.
Pendergrast said on the website,
Congratulations to the West Morris
Regional High School community for
recognition as the most successful regional
high school districts in New Jersey as calcu-
lated by NJ Monthly.
Pendergrast also said in the phone inter-
view that the districts goals are to nurture
the most enriching environment possible
and to help students become empowered
and strong, with great academic skills, but
also powerful life skills, that will allow
them to realize their potential and become
successful.
Our students have the opportunity to
participate in a global curriculum with inter-
national standards and benchmarked tests,
he noted on the website. Having a rich IB
program as well as a robust AP program is
unique among schools in the nation and it
provides our students with alternative path-
ways toward success.
District officials feel that this sets
WMRHSD apart from other school districts

intellectually, academically, and how stu-
dents are prepared for life and the next aca-
demic challenge.
Mackey also notes that in 2012-2013
school year, administrators worked with the
New Jersey Department of Education to
promote the inclusion and recognition of IB
along with AP in the NJ School
Performance Reports, formerly named The
NJ Report Card.
As a result, the accuracy of the
WMRHSD performance data has only
improved. NJ Monthly was able to include
IB in its metrics for this years ranking, and

together a cookbook of the items for sale,
said Rev. Rick Oppelt, pastor of the church.
Banfe shared that activities sure to bring
big smiles to kids will be a hayride, games
including a bouncy house, and arts and
crafts.
For those looking for things to buy, the
event offers a variety of things. RH Farms
will host a Farmer's Market; and for those
looking for a special little something at a
bargain price, theres.a $2 Buck Table. The
event also includes a silent auction of small
items and a live auction of larger ones.
Music, and even dancing, will grace the
area. The band, "The Middle Ages" will
play classic rock and new wave from the
70's and 80's. Dancers from the DeNogla
School of Irish Dance will also be on hand
to entertain.
Oppelt explained that the funds raised by
the event support church special projects
like youth activities, mission endeavors,
music programs and emergency situations.
The event also supplies a day of fellowship.
Our annual Apple Festival provides our
church an opportunity to come together to
provide a fun, safe and delicious day of
activities for the neighborhoods we serve. It
enables us to continue to be a lively
Presbyterian presence in our community, as
we have been for more than 50 years.
explained Oppelt.
Also, that day, the Red Cross will be
there for the 2nd annual Fred Swinson
Memorial Blood Drive. Oppelt explained
that Swinson was a long time active mem-
ber of the church who died in 2013. For
many years, Swinson spear-headed the
blood drive held at the Apple Festival.
Last year, it made sense to christen it
the Fred Swinson Memorial Blood Drive.
Last year, we had 32 donations, more than
Flanders Church Holds 12th Annual Apple Festival - Sept. 27th
we've ever had before and this year we are
shooting for a goal of over 50. One of our
high school seniors is helping to organize it
in an effort to earn a college scholarship
from the Red Cross, shared Oppelt.
September 27th is the date and the word
is apple. The Flanders United
Presbyterian Church apple festival is an
event not to be missed!

School and Mendham High School
improved in every single metric considered
in NJ Monthly.
The re-imagination of the West
Morris Regional learning experience has set
the bar even higher for continued student
success in the coming years, Mackey said.
But Mackey is interested in continu-
ing to make sure the total educational expe-
rience is superb, not only the academic
rankings of the school district.
He said, rankings cannot measure the
total qualitative learning experience or the
life preparation for each child. In fact, a nar-
row-minded focus on statistics may obscure
students individual uniqueness. The West
Morris Regional community reasserts our
commitment to the highest academic stan-
dards. Yet, it is important to understand this
commitment goes beyond excellence in
quantitative knowledge and skills as meas-
ured by standardized tests. It also includes
an environment that fosters an innovative
mindset, participation in rich co-curricular
and athletics programs, acquisition of tech-
nology competencies, practice of service
and entrepreneurial principles, as well as
experiences that lead to the development of
resilient, well-balanced adults.
So, Mackey is not only celebrating
success he already has plans to continue to
fully empower the school district in the best
academic and aesthetic ways. A noble
endeavor indeed.
Mackey thanked students, teachers,
counselors, administrators and parents for
their commitment to continual improve-
ment and a high standard of excellence.
Congratulations to the entire West Morris
Regional School Community, he said.
Also in Mendham news, Mendham
High School Cheerleaders recently won
best cheerleading squad in a competition
held in the Pocono region of Pennsylvania.
Jim Baglin, Director of Athletics, was
proud of their achievement and made a
statement to the Mendham News to honor
them.
He said, "Our cheerleaders have been
a big part of our program for many years.
Their success is not really surprising when
you consider how hard they work and the
type of coaching they get. They are very
highly respected by the student body and
the staff and we are all really proud of
them."
Members of the public can contact
this reporter atejvind08@yahoo.com with
school news and achievements throughout
the school year. While we cannot publish
absolutely everything, we will do our best
to provide a bit of coverage for some of the
success the schools and communities expe-
rience.

T
his summer, the Mendham Farmers
Market will be offering fresh vegeta-
bles, fruit, and prepared foods from
its new location on Pitney Farms on Cold
Hill Road. The farmers market will be open
throughout the summer on Saturdays from 9
a.m.-1 p.m., until Mid -October, hosting
local farmers with fresh sustainable prod-
ucts made or grown using organic practices.
Coldwell Banker Residential Brokerage in
Mendham is once again sponsoring the
annual farmers market.
Diane Tolley, founder of the Mendham
Farmers Market and sales associate with
Coldwell Banker Residential Brokerage in
Mendham, said the market is dedicated to
nurturing the vital partnership between the
community and the farmers and local arti-
sans who employ ecologically suitable
practices.
The Mendham Farmers Market offers
residents the opportunity to meet the faces
behind the food that they buy and hear in-
person about the delectable treats being
sold. Residents who are looking to find
returning favorites from previous years can
expect to visit Poplar Farm for their fruit
and vegetable fix and Paolos Kitchen for
prepared Italian meals with gluten-free
options. Newcomers to the market that visi-
tors can look forward to trying are Mo
Green Juice for juiced vegetables; Mini
Mac Farms delicious free range chicken;
Anythyme Farms micro-greens and goats
milk soap; and the newest vendor, MoPleez
Bakery for allergy-free baked goods.
Products are as diverse as Lazy Susan
Granola and Top of the Morning Beeswax
Lip Balm. Visitors to the farmers market
can stop by Villa Milagro Vineyards, which
uses organic and sustainable practices;
Glenemelure Farm for all-natural grass fed
beef and pork; Gourmet Nut and Fruits; and
Steve the Jam Man, who makes all natural
jams and jelly.
But the weekly event wont just be about
the food, said Tolley. We anticipate the
market to be more vibrant this year. We are
planning a different event every week; one
week you can take a yoga class and another
you can learn to raise chickens in your own
backyard, she said. The market will show-
case live music from local musicians,
adding a soundtrack to the multifaceted
extravaganza. On Saturdays, healthy gro-
cery shopping can now be something the
whole family can enjoy, said Tolley.

At New Location On Pitney Farms

N
o more sitting watching movies and eating popcorn
and candy at this facility- the former movie theater
in Chester is now a high-tech modernized gym
offering the latest and greatest in exercise. Opened for about
three months now, the Nitroflex Gym has taken over the
former Clearview Cinema 6 Theater in Chester.
The 15,000 sq. ft. facility has a lot to offer its members
including three studios, full-service spa, child care, upper
level lounge, an outside terrace, free-weight area, core zone,
tons of cardio, Personal Trainers, monkey bars and even
blue lights shining in the evening to set the tone. The blue
light, It gives the gym a different perspective, says Steve
Tylee, owner of the Nitroflex Gym. Thats the look I want-
ed to try to achieve. It gives you a different atmosphere. Its
almost like a night club. It probably energizes them; its that
wow factor.
Every other Friday night from 7pm to 10pm, we have
an event called Club Nitro We pump up the music and
turn the lights down low.just the blue lights remain, light-
ing up the walls. Its solely for teens aged 13 to 18 years
old. We have Teen Zumba and our newest class Surfset.
Surfset was first shown on the TV show Shark Tank, its a
great workout, all whilst balancing on a surfboard..a
great hit with the kids and adults alike Tylee say
An Open House is set for Saturday September 20th,
inviting prospective members a free trial from 9 a.m. to 3
p.m. to workout, try a class or check out the weight room,
to Xperience the Xtraordinary as it is written on the wall
in the gym by a local artist. Tylee, owner of Nitrofit in
Cedar Knolls, decided to open a second gym in his home-
town of Chester after being persuaded by local residents.
Tylee approached the mall`s landlord back in June 2012
requesting to lease retail space for his proposed gym. They
indicated that the movie theatre was closing down and
Hottest Health Club Open In Chester
continued on next page
asked if he would be interested in taking on that huge
space? In December 2012, the lease was signed and the
demo work was supposed to start in February 2013. With
that in mind, Tylee opened up a pre-sales center in April
2013 right next to Shoprite to offer a pre-sale membership
deals.
When the expected opening date of the new gym was
delayed by six months, Tylee decided to convert his sales
center into a temporary gym. The members who had signed
up as part of the pre-sales drive were able to train there for
free. I did get a lot of flack for the delayed opening, Tylee
said. But the project was delayed from construction issues,
permits and a very bad winter. Transforming six small the-
aters into a gym involved knocking down lots of walls. We
started knocking down walls and the building became struc-
turally unsafe, says Tylee. We had to completely redesign
the inside, knock down the second floor, build a new second
floor. They also built a new main entrance, a huge store-
front of glass, measuring 50 feet long and 18 feet high.
Despite the delays, the finished product was more than
worth the wait. Men, women and children at all levels of fit-
ness can enjoy all types of equipment and classes
With its high ceilings, huge 14ft giant ceiling fans and
second floor mezzanine, the 15,000 sq. feet facility is a fit-
ness emporium! Three beautiful studios, the largest being
for group fitness classes; a hot yoga studio ; and a spin stu-
dio with 25 Real Ryder spin bikes.
Offered as part of the membership are 56 fitness classes
per week taught by 25 instructors. Classes include Hot
Yoga, Pilates, Spin, Barre Method, Zumba, Body Pump,
Body Combat, Step aerobics, Boot Camp, SurfSet and a
new class- Piloxing which combines Pilates and boxing.
NitroCore is another class that includes 30 minutes of just
abs; Nitrosilver Stars is a group fitness class for the elderly.
I branded everything with the Nitro brand, says Tylee.
NitroRyde is the name for his spin studio; NitroZen is
for the yoga studio; and NitroCize is the group fitness stu-
dio.
In addition to a free weight area, cardio area and core
zone area is 36 feet of monkey bars with blue and black
astro-turf underneath. We have tires, sleds, TRX bands,
rings, kettlebells, ropes, med balls and all sorts of function-
al training equipment for all our members to use.
For personal training, eight trainers, both male and
female are on staff for a separate fee. Every new member
gets a free 30 minute orientation with a trainer.
The full-service Spa, aptly called NitroSpa, includes two
treatment rooms for waxing, facials, chemical peels and
even Cosmetic injectables. A full array of massage treat-
ments including Hot Stone, Swedish, Aromatherapy, Deep
tissue and Sports massage. With two Doctors on hand for
Bio Identical Hormone replacement therapy, weight loss
diets such as the popular HCG diet, Genetic Fitness testing
and a whole host of science based methods to maximize
your health, fitness and well-being. This gym has it all!
The upper level lounge that looks over the gym floor
below, provides an area with comfy lounge chairs to relax
after a tough workout or socialize with friends. Tylee
recently added an enclosed outside patio area with tables,
chairs and umbrella`s. A full menu offering sports drinks
and a wide range of healthy meals are available to all mem-
bers.
In the entranceway, members can unwind at the circular
bar station set up to use I-phones and I-pads.
The state-of the-art bathroom and locker facilities
include five-star spa-like porcelain tile from Italy,
mahogany lockers, infra-red saunas, 16 inch rain showers,
shampoos, conditioners and shower gels are all included, a
towel service and private locker rental is provided at an
additional charge.
Tylee hired a local artist- Zar- to design the gyms logo
and spray black silhouettes of people exercising on the 100-
foot wall of the main gym. Another local artist designed the
under the sea themed mural in the childcare room.
We offer a ton of amenities for the money, says Tylee.
We are very upscale.very much like an Equinox Gym,
but with the community feel of a YMCA. When people first
walk in the gym, their mouths literally drop open. We want
our members to have a memorable experience every time
they walk through the door says Tylee.
A variety of memberships are offered such as an annual
$59/month membership with a $99 enrollment fee; or
$75/month no contract; a walk-in daily fee of $15; and only
$29.99 for students, seniors, teachers, municipal workers,
police, fire or emergency service workers.

Monday-Friday, 5 a.m. to 10 p.m.; Sat.-Sun., 7 a.m. to 6
p.m.

T
homas Edison had an
unconventional edu-
cation. He did not
start school until he was
eight years old. Port Heron
Michigan did not have a
public school so he attended
the private Reverend G. B.
Engle School that was clos-
est to his home. This school
had rigid classroom disci-
pline and Edison had a free
inquisitive spirt that could
not be tamed. The school
claimed Edison was a slow
and restless pupil and he
needed strict reprimanding.
His mother Nancy Edison
strongly disagreed with the
schools evaluation of her
child. Fortunately, Nancy
Edisons past profession was
being a Canadian school
teacher and her solution was
to home school her own son.
The academic course work
Nancy Edison helped to
motivate her son came from
reading R.G. Parker's School
of Natural Philosophy and in
the later years from The
Cooper Union (http://www.
cooper.edu/). Historians
estimate that Edison had less
than a year of classroom
schooling in his lifetime.
Yet, he had great academic
skills and a real passion for
reading books. Many of the
books he read were
advanced literary works for
his age.
In Edisons boyhood era,
child labor laws were nonex-
istent or very lax. It was not
unusual for children twelve
years of age to procure regu-
lar employment with mini-
mal adult supervision. The
Fort Gratiot train depot was
a just a short stroll from the
Edison family home. So, at
the age of twelve, Edison
found his first job working
for the railroad. He became
a candy butcher on the
Grand Trunk Railroad sell-
ing snacks and newspapers
to passengers. He got to
experience traveling each
day on the sixty-mile run
from Port Huron to Detroit.
Preteenager Edison hitched a
ride on the best the late 19th
Century offered in distance
high speed transportation
while most adults were still
traveling by horse and car-
riage to their jobs. The long
lay overs in this city present-
ed him with a real world of
discovery. This enabled a
precocious young boy the
time to explore the big
metropolis on his own terms.
He was given several hours
each day to the city. He
made use of this idle time by
joining the Detroit Young
Men's Society. This gave
him access to the place of his
dreams, a large library and
reading room. Edison
recalled his childhood
library visits stating "I didn't
read a few books, I read the
library."
Edisons childhood jobs
kept him in the epicenter of
technology. It was the rail
system that also ushered in
the telegraph system. The
telegraph area was news the
network center that provided
the information for the news-
paper publication industry.
As the rail station newspaper
boy, he was in the epicenter
of all national news during a
momentous time of
Americas own Civil War.
Young Edison was alerted to
milestone battlefront news
hours or even days before
the rest of America. This
new technology of the tele-
graph piqued his interest. He
got to witness the telegram
transmissions being relayed
and he read all he could
about telegraph communica-
tions with dreams of being
an operator of this new tech-
nology. Edison wish came
true by a twist of fate.
Edison got the telegraph
operator position when he
saved three-year-old Jimmie
MacKenzie from a runaway
train heading his way.
Jimmie's father was the
Mount Clemens, Michigan
station agent J.U.
MacKenzie and his gratitude
for saving his sons life was
to train Edison as the new
telegraph operator. This was
a job that started the innova-
tive and technical journey
that would become the hall-
mark of his ingenious life.
Thomas Edison had an
extraordinary blended edu-
cation of dual experimental
and academic learning. But
his deepest gratitude was to
his professional academic
teacher with these senti-
ments "My mother was the
making of me. She was so
true, so sure of me; and I felt
I had something to live for,
someone I must not disap-
point." And Thomas
Edisons childhood Fort
Gratiot Depot was turned
into The Thomas Edison
Depot Museum that offers
educational programs in
electricity, energy, commu-
nications and magnetism to
Port Hurons local children.

extraordinary education.

Thomas Edison Had An
Extraordinary Education
By Joe Klock, Sr.
T
he following material was salvaged from my ran-
dumb notes on floating scraps of paper hereabout.
None of it is ready, IMHO, for either full columnar treat-
ment or the shredder, thus it is submitted for your edifica-
tion, vilification, aggravation or forwarding to other
defenseless recipients.
- The past is a canceled check and the future, at best, a
promissory note, so don't piddle away the present with
pointless games of "what-if" and "if-only." Better to fix
what you can and forget what you can't....like,
maybe,TODAY!
- REMOTELY RELATED QUERY: Should terminated
pregnancies in Czechoslovakia be officially recorded as
canceled Czechs?
- 'Splain me this, if you can: When domestic animals are
found in inhumane conditions, they are taken away from
their owners. Young children in similar circumstances, on
the other hand, are customarily left with their delinquent
non-care-givers, who are subsidized for their negligence -
this, presumably, under the (dis)guise of the sanctity of par-
enthood.
- Among the higher aspirations of personkind (we are
striving here for political correctness) is inner peace, and
the road to that begins with acceptance - acceptance, that is,
of situations we are powerless to change. Implicitly, that
rules out anything and everything we ARE able to change
for the better. It follows that "awfulizing," also called "stew-
ing without doing," is never an acceptable substitute for tak-
ing action, however small a step it might be to toward solv-
ing or mitigating the problem at hand. Suffering in silence,
in a free society like ours, is a self-inflicted
wound...so speak up or SHUT up!
- Query for Atheists: How do you KNOW there is no
God...or do you just strongly BELIEVE that? If the latter,
you're in the same boat as the Doofuses you snicker at!
- The number of people in our nation who are receiving
Federal Food Stamps has grown to more than 46 million.
Meanwhile, the National Park Service continues to urge
people not to feed wild animals. Their stated reason is
because, "they will grow dependent on handouts and will
not learn to provide for themselves." A touch of irony here?
- "Now" is not a movable feast and "then" is not always
available for instant replay. As John Greenleaf Whittier put
it, "Of all sad words of tongue or pen, the saddest are these,
'It might have been.'" So, if a "one of these days" irems is
on your drawing board, why not pick this one? Life may not
be the party we had hoped for, but while we're here, we
might as well dance!
- With another Election Day coming up, there's one very
important question to ask yourself: "Have I listened to both
sides of the issues?" If not, PLEASE don't vote unless and
until you have done so!
- A greater danger for many (if not most) of us is not that
our aims are too high and we'll miss them, but that they are
too low and we'll shred the bull's-eye! (There's a high prob-
ability that some poor slobs invented 6-UP and Preparation
G, then gave up trying).
- Successful people are often simply ordinary folks who
just did what many of their contemporaries, and most of
their competitors, CHOSE not to do.
- A greeting card idea of mine that never made the cut
('specially down heah in the Southland):
"Christmas is a ball for people one and all,
Just gushing with good fellowship and cheer.
But I wonder why the hell I shouldn't wish you well
At this cold, unfriendly, crappy time of year?
Happy February 13th!"
- Similar fate for one of my unsuccessful stabs at a par-
ody writing (to the tune of "Good Night, Irene."):
"Just t'other day I got married; we had champagne and a
cake.
Then me and my wife soon got parted, 'cause I made a
big mistake.
I said, 'Irene, good night, Irene good night. Good night,
Irene, good night, Irene.
But my bride's name was Phyllis."
- WORDS TO LIVE BY:
- Always try to forgive - even if and when you can't for-
get.
- Always do your very best. If that falls short of success,
go with the flow and try again.
- Always say something nice to everyone you meet
today...even "them" (you know who!)
- Encore reminder: Always learn to live with those
regrettable thing in the past that you can't remedy now, so
they won't poop on your present or foul up your future.

P
lastic bottles are routinely recycled into other plas-
tic items and new bottles, but they can be turned
into much more. When you were sipping water
from that bottle, you probably never thought of the possi-
bilities of wearing that very plastic. However, fabric
innovators are turning disposed plastic into durable gar-
ments. When compared with producing virgin materials,
recycling plastic products helps save up to 70 percent on
energy costs. Recycled bottles can be broken down into
pellets of pure recycled plastic that is virtually indistin-
guishable from virgin plastic. Then the pellets are turned
into yarn, which can be woven as-is or mixed with other
yarns to produce polyester clothing. According to Waste
2 Wear, a recycled clothing company, anywhere from 12
to 20 bottles can be saved per garment and transformed
into anything from robes to shirts to uniforms. Recycled
clothing presents yet another way to turn trash into treas-
ure.
Did You Know?
F
ootball season can only mean one thing time to grab
the best seat in the house, and were not talking about
at the stadium. In fact, 77 percent of Americans think
the best seat in the house is at home in front of an HDTV,
according to a recent survey by McIlhenny Company,
maker of Tabasco brand products. Instead of heading to the
stadium, keep the tailgate at home and throw a homegat-
ing party.
The ultimate homegate is not only about the football game,
its about the food. No matter whats happening on the field,
the spread can be the real game-changer. In fact, the survey
found the following:
78 percent of American adults think good food can
make up for a bad game.
Americans spend, on average, 42 percent of the game
eating or drinking.
Over half of Americans (57 percent) voted the grill as
the most important appliance when hosting a homegate.
For a homegate touchdown, banish the boring and serve
beer-infused chili, which is sure to please all your family,
friends and football fans. For other ways to spice up game
day, visit www.tabasco.com.

nother school year is underway and
with it comes homework, play dates,
team sports and more, which can
make the task of feeding your kids healthy
snacks a daunting one.
Fortunately, there are several ways parents
can make snack time easier and more nutri-
tious. Healthy, convenient and naturally
sweet options, such as California raisins, are
a great solution for snack time throughout the
school year.
California raisins are an all-natural,
dried-by-the-sun fruit parents can feel good
about giving their kids, says Larry Blagg,
senior vice president of marketing for the
California Raisin Marketing Board. The
ingredient list says it all raisins.
Because they are 100-percent fruit with no
added sugar, raisins contain zero empty calo-
ries, according to the United States
Department of Agriculture (USDA) Food-a-
Pedia website. In fact, a recent study present-
ed at the Canadian Nutrition Society, found
that children who eat raisins as an after-
school snack may prevent excessive calorie
intake and may increase satiety (or feeling
full) when compared to other common
snacks.
For naturally sweet and satisfying ways to
avoid falling into a snacking rut, follow these
simple tips:
1.) Dont leave snacking to chance. Avoid
unhealthy snacks by preparing nutritious
options ahead of time. Try a no-fuss option
like a hearty trail or snack mix and add
California raisins for sweetness without the
sugar.
2.) Make grab-and-go snacks. Make
snacks that are portable. On busy days, hav-
ing go-to snacks that travel well in backpacks,
lunch boxes, your purse or car will save time
and satisfy hungry tummies.
3.) Involve the kids. Create healthy habits
by involving kids in snack preparation. When
kids are engaged in creating their own snacks,
parents can make valuable connections
between food choices and nutrition. Choose
fun and simple recipes kids can make on their
own or with little help.
