Youngsters At Livingston Library Book Club

Brighten Meals To Homebound
By Cheryl Conway
turkey dinner with
all the trimmings
was not the only
thing homebound residents
received last month for
Thanksgiving.
During their book club

last month, young readers at
the Livingston Public Library learned about giving
and each made a craft to donate to Livingston Motor
Meals. Each craft was used

Librarians from the Livingston Public Librarys
Youth Services Department
decided that making a craft
would be a small way to
reach out to the community
during the holiday.
It lets the people who
are receiving the tray know
that the people in the community are thinking of
them, says Amanda Winter, librarian in the youth
department. Its important
to give. It reinforces the
idea that they are part of the
community and its nice to
give back to the community.
Winter came up with the
idea in October so she contacted Livingston Motor
Meals to inquire if they accept donations.
I know the kids like to
do crafts, says Winter. I
know as a Girl Scout we
would donate to Meals On
Librarians, from left, Amanda Winter, Anna Coats and Gina Vaccaro, display their craft.
Wheels and people appreciated it.

So for the month of November, each of
the librarys three reading groups read stories with the theme about giving.
Winters group, Yakety Yak, for second
and third graders, read the mystery Nate
The Great Talks Turkey. The 17 students
in her group made and donated corn and
turkey napkin holders as their craft.
Anna Coats Reading Adventures book
club for kids in grades second and third
read Clara Lee and the Apple Pie Dream.

Coats, whos head of Youth Services at the
library, had her eight kids in her group
make paper apples as their decorative craft
to donate.
In the third group, Gina Vaccaros Little
Bookworms group for kindergarteners
through first grade, read books about community and helping others. The seven students in her group made paper pumpkins to

Cost to make the supplies was minimal
as supplies were repurposed such as toilet

Participants each made two crafts, one to

Winter submitted the crafts to the Livingston Health Department/Human Services the week before Thanksgiving.
Each recipient was to receive the craft
to brighten up the tray, says Winter.

Anthony Francos Celebrates 10 Years Serving Livingston
ecember 2015 marks the 10th anniversary that Anthony Francos

Restaurant and Pizzeria has been in
Livingston. Its fourth location proudly serves
the township and surrounding areas. A family-run business, Anthony Francos currently
operates nine restaurants in the Northern New
Jersey area. Most day-to-day operations at
his locations are run by a small crew of handpicked junior partners and managers, who
have been with the company for many years.
The principal owners still maintain hands-on
overall supervision on a daily basis.
Prior to opening their first NJ store in
1990 in Lincoln Park, the Anthony Francos
Restaurant and Pizzeria owners had extensive
experience in the Bronx and the East Village
of NYC. After the Anthony Francos team refined its concept, recipes, and menu for the
NJ market, they added a second location in
Butler in 1999. Since then, Anthony Francos
Restaurant and Pizzeria has opened a new location approximately every two years. Currently their biggest project yet is under
construction, the 10th Anthony Francos
Restaurant and Pizzeria located in Fort Lee
at the foot of the George Washington Bridge.
Part of their recipe for success to stay
competitive and, in fact flourish, in what is
seemingly a very crowded restaurant and

pizza market, is their dedication to the quality
of the food. At Anthony Francos, food preparation is taken very seriouslyA MUST. If
something is not right in one of the stores, the
problem could affect one of the other locations. Therefore that is the extra incentive
most other restaurants in their market do not
havethe constant drive to strive for and
give 100 percent in customer service and
food satisfaction.
With the volume of meals prepared daily
at Anthony Francos, customers will enjoy
high quality food at great prices. Enormous
buying power means exclusive deals with
many of their vendors and wholesalers, including one of Wisconsins finest cheese
dairies.
Their motto is: We frown on the word
"frozen" as we receive daily deliveries of
meat and vegetables from the world
renowned Hunts Point Market in the Bronx.
Our pasta is the finest quality available, received weekly from one of Brooklyns oldest
pasta houses."
Anthony Francos in Livingston features a
comfortable dining room with spacious booth
seating for 60. Every seat has a view of their
LCD TVs. The Livingston store was their
first location to feature a "party room" which

can host all occasions from kids birthday
parties to league meetings. With a low minimum of only $200, it is probably one of the
most affordable places to book a party or
gathering for up to 50 people. While they
have continued to add party rooms to some
of the other stores, in Wayne and Sparta, the
party room in Livingston is the biggest and
best.
If customers cannot or prefer not to park
in the main Livingston Shoprite parking lot
in front of the store, they have exclusive access to park in the rear parking lot, which al-

Morristown Teen Honors Pediatrician With Toy Drive

For Hospitalized Children
By Cheryl Conway
oliday time will be much brighter
for children stuck in the hospital,
thanks to the kind heart of a Morristown teenager who has spent the past
month collecting toys just for them.
Morristown High School junior Charlie
Lia, 17, has been collecting toys around
town since Nov. 24 for his second annual
Wesleys Toy Box. Last year, he collected
300 toys ranging from board games to
dolls, action figures, video games and puzzles.
Lias toy drive is his way of giving back
to the hospital which he says saved him
when he was younger. He also named his
drive in memory of his long-time pediatrician Dr. Wesley Boodish of Millburn Pediatrics.
I would really like to give back to the
pediatric unit that saved my life, says Lia.
All toys will be given to the sick children at the Pediatric Unit at Saint Barnabas
Medical Center in Livingston.
It was in late 2004, when Lia spent one

week at the Pediatric Unit at Saint Barnabas
Medical Center in Livingston. He was only
five years old when he was diagnosed with
a life threatening case of pneumonia.
They treated me around the clock, recalls Lia. They really watched over me.
They did everything they could to help
me.
Besides saving his life, Lia says he was
introduced, at a young age, to children who
were sicker than he was.
I saw another child who had cancer,
explains Lia. That moment made me realize there are many worse off children than
me.
Ever since then, Ive had the urge to
give back, says Lia. Although it has been
12 years since he battled pneumonia at
Saint Barnabas, Lia says, his desire to do
something to give back only grew overtime.
My appreciation for them really grew,
says Lia. There were many moments in
my life when I said I wouldnt be here if
it werent for the doctors at Saint Barnabas.

Lia continues, I know there are kids in
there that are way worse off than me. The
toys would be a way to help them get
through it. Giving toys to them would be
my way to show my gratitude.

To show his appreciation even more, Lia
has named his toy drive Wesleys Toy Box
in honor of Dr. Wesley Boodish.

who cannot be home during such a fun, festive time for most.
Christmas is the time of giving, says
Lia. Since these children are in the hospital over Christmastime, why not give them
toys that would make them more happy
over Christmastime?
Lia is requesting that the toys be suitable
for children between the ages of infant to
teenagers.
To spread the word, Lia has hung
posters throughout MHS; has asked the
high school to make daily announcements
over the intercom; has sent out email blasts;
Pictured, from left, is Charlie Lia and Lynn Boodish, wife of the late Dr. Wesley Boodish.
continued from previous page
Boodish was Lias pediatric doctor for

13 years before he died in April 2014.
He had a really good charisma, says
Lia. He would be very inspiring to me. A
check up from him would make my day. He
was very positive, very inspiring. He was a

very good role model; such a role model to
me. His death just really made me sad.
Lia decided to hold the toy drive during
the holiday season to cheer up little ones
and has even gotten the Key Club, in which

he is a member, to allocate to members one
hour of volunteer time for each toy they donate.
The Key Club at MHS is a volunteer
group of students that helps out in various
ways in the community.
Lia plans to continue his toy drive until
Dec. 21. Drop off boxes are located at the
main office of Morristown High School
and at Millburn Pediatrics, in which he is
still a patient. Lia plans to visit the drop off
boxes each week to collect the toys and
make room for more.
Did You Know?
anuary was not always the first month

of the year. Earlier calendars, such as
the Julian calendar used by the Romans, considered March the first month of
the year. These calendars were based
largely around weather and harvest schedules, and winter was considered to be a time
without definitive months. Eventually, the
calendar was expanded at around 713 BCE
to include two additional months so it
would equal a standard lunar year. Romans
also were integral in giving the months their
names, and some months got their names

from Roman mythology and the gods of
that time, while others were named after
prominent Roman emperors. January got its
name from a Roman god named Janus, who
was considered a god of transitions and beginnings. Janus was depicted as a two-faced
god, which is appropriate in the present-day
since January represents a time of saying
goodbye to the old year and looking ahead
to the new year.

Livingston Arts Organizations Work Together
By Anastasia Marchese
ivingston is home to many fine arts
organizations, two of which are the
Arts Council of Livingston and the
Livingston Arts Association. Although the
names sound very similar, their functions
are quite different, but the organizations
sometimes work in conjunction with one another.
In fact an online search for either organization will bring up both organizations in
the results, which can confuse anyone trying
to discern the difference. According to Livingston Township website, The Arts Coun-
cil of Livingston is a nonprofit arts coordinating group established by the township

council to make the arts more visible in Livingston and in the surrounding areas. Our
aim is to encourage offerings in performing
and visual arts programs and to act as an informal clearing house for all of the artistic
disciplines. The Arts Council helps other
organizations reach their goals as well.
On the other hand the Livingston Arts
Associations focus is on providing a venue
for teaching and displaying the visual arts.
Individuals who are interested in receiving
instruction in oils, drawing, pastels, water-
Hold On To Wrapping Supplies
n addition to the billions of dollars shoppers spend each year on holiday gifts,
quite a lot of money is spent on the bags,
boxes and paper used to wrap those gifts.
Unity Marketing says the average person
spends between $70 and $100 on wrapping
supplies during the holiday season. While it
is nice to add some new items to the wrapping mix each year, collecting and conserving bags and tissue is a wise and eco-friendly,
cost-saving measure. For those hosting the

holidays this year, set up two storage bins in
the room where you and your loved ones will
be unwrapping presents. One bin can be used
to collect clothing boxes that are in good
shape, while the other can be used to organize
gift bags and bows. Encourage guests to take
some of the used wrapping paper to use again
next year.
color and/or acrylics, can take classes offered at the Senior Center. The classes are
offered seasonally, in three semesters,
spring, winter and fall. The association also
holds two major art shows a year, which are
open to members. Professionals and amateurs alike have their work displayed and
each show is judged. This coming year the
Arts Association is also holding an art show
in February at the Livingston Art Gallery on
Livingston Avenue.
Becoming a member is easy with annual
dues only $25 for an individual, $28 a family and $8 for a student.
Individuals are members of the Arts Association, but organizations are the members of the Arts Council. The Arts
Association was founded in 1959 and is
overseen by the Department of Recreation
and Parks. On the other hand the Arts Council of Livingston has member organizations
and was started in 1990. Some examples of
the member organizations are the Livingston Arts Associations, Livingston Camera Club, Livingston Community Players,
Livingston Symphony Orchestra and the NJ
Ballet company. The Arts Council of Liv-
ingston helps member organizations do

what they do. The Arts Council helps individuals to grow as visual artists.
This fall the Arts Council worked with
The Arts Association to put on their fall
member art show by providing the venue at
the Livingston Community Arts Center. The
art show was judged by Annie Patt from Astoria, NY, who specializes in India ink, oil
and intaglio. Eight artists received awards;
five merit awards and three honorable mentions.
The co-president of the Arts Association
is Rosann Toma, who has been a member of
the organization for about 12 years. She first
became involved when she was seeking out
art instruction for herself.
There are wonderful people involved,
she says. The teachers are very accessible.
Not only are they artists, they have all gone
to school for art or had formal art instruction. The classes are fee based but all of the
costs are listed online at the website, livingstonartsassociation.org.
Both organizations have Facebook
pages, which are updated with recent events
and upcoming events are also posted.

Nursing Division Of Livingston Health Department Presents Radon Facts
here may be a silent and stealthy

cancer causing killer lurking in
homes. Sound impossible? Its
not. When was the last time, if ever, the
was home checked for radon? According
to the Environmental Protection Agency
(EPA) radon is a scentless, tasteless, ra-
dioactive gas that is the second leading

cause of lung cancer, after cigarette smoking.
Lung cancer may be treatable, debilitating, or deadly. Reducing and/or eliminating risks for cancer, should be considered
an utmost priority.
So, where does this cancer causing element come from? Radon is a naturally occurring radioactive gas. It is the result of
uranium in soil breaking down. Radon can
be found in any home or building. It can
be present in not only in the ground/soil,
but also groundwater and even basic building materials. This odorless, tasteless, and
invisible radioactive gas typically enters
residences via small openings where the
home meets the ground. Cracks in the
foundation, around pipes, and through
sump-pump pits are all area in which
radon may enter a building.
The EPA has identified that the primary
route of potential human exposure is inhalation. This means if radon is present in
a home, every breath taken promotes the
growth of cancer the human body. Fortunately, radon testing is easy and inexpensive. Once identified, radon repairs can be
made, and the radon problem fixed. More
often than not, a radon related repair costs
no more than any other typical home repair. The EPA recommends all homes
should be tested for radon by a qualified
tester obtained via the state radon office.
Homeowners can also contact a private
radon proficiency program for lists of privately certified radon professionals serving the area.
For more information on radon or the
assistance of a radon specialist, visit
www.njradon.org or call the toll-free information line at 1-800-648-0394. Free testing procedures and information packets
are available upon request. The information provided has been brought by the Livingston Health Department Nursing
Division in conjunction with EPA

Simple Ways To Spend Less
hen people take inventory of their

spending habits, many come to
the conclusion that they need to
scale back. Upon making that realization,
many people immediately assume they need
to give up certain luxuries. However, spending less on nonessential items may free up
funds for more enjoyable activities, such as
dining out and travel. Being frugal doesnt
mean you have to be a minimalist, and its
easier than you might think. Explore these
relatively easy methods to tame spending.
Use cash as much as possible. Paying
with cash can create an emotional feeling of
loss and taps into your five senses. Taking
cash from your wallet and handing it over
to cashiers could slow down your subconscious spending, which is less likely to happen if you always swipe a credit or debit
card.
Keep a spending log. Jot down your
spending habits on a piece of paper or use
home budgeting software to track where
you tend to spend the most. This gives you
an accurate and fluid method to examine
your spending.
Spend less on shopping sprees. Some
people use shopping as an emotional release
or a method to relieve stress. If you like
shopping but want to cut back on your

spending, shop in less expensive stores,
such as consignment or dollar stores. This
feeds your desire to shop without breaking
the bank.
Eliminate one monthly bill. Find a way
to cut out one monthly expense. If youre
not using that gym membership, cancel it. If
you cant find something to eliminate, find
a way to cut back. Maybe you can scale
back your mobile phone service plan.
Downgrade your cable television package
to one thats more affordable.
Do things yourself. Consider the services you pay others to do that you may be
able to do yourself. If youre handy with a
paintbrush, paint your home interior. Have
everyone pitch in to clean the house and
scale back on housekeeping services. Cook
your own meals and rely less on takeout.
Transfer savings automatically. Transfer a portion of your paycheck directly into
a savings account. Set up automated transfers so the money never appears in the account linked to your debit card.
Pay bills on time. Do not waste money
on late fees and penalties. Use automatic bill
pay so you dont miss any payments and
waste money on fees.

Newspaper Company Goes Full Circle, Doubles In Size, Returns Home
By Cheryl Conway
ith a new year comes change,
like a different office for New
View Media Group LLC.
But for Joe Nicastro and Mary Lalama of
Flanders, co-owners with Darwin Oordt of
Cherry Hill, they return to the office where
the company first started a dozen years
ago. Coming home is a wonderful feeling
for them, not only to return to the original
office, but in the literal sense that it is located where they dwell in Mt. Olive Township.
On Mon., Nov. 16, New View Media
Group moved from its East Hanover office
to Lakeview Plaza at 1 Old Wolfe Rd, suite
205, in Budd Lake. The company had been
in East Hanover since April when it had
merged with the Marketeer, which had
been headquartered there for 30 years.
What a nice homecoming it has been
for Nicastro and Lalama.
The lease was up and being from Mt.
Olive and a councilman I wanted to bring
my business to my hometown, says
Take-out
Catering
& Party
Platters
Nicastro. From a personal view it is close

to home for me and Mary and our employees that come in on a daily basis. I am very
happy to be back in Mt. Olive close to
home.
While the current location is just temporary, Nicastros plan to purchase a different building in town eventually.
We are in the process of purchasing a
building and needed a temporary place,
says Nicastro. The address we are at now
is the same address that we moved to when
we started the papers in 2004. We had
started the Mt. Olive Weekly back then
and found that location. It was available
once again.
Nicastros plan is we are looking at a
small building along Route 46 that we feel
would be a perfect home and give great
exposure to the business.
For New View Media Group, 2015 has
been a tremendous year of growth.
With a current circulation of about
159,000 homes from as far west as Hackettstown to as far east as Cedar Grove,
New View Media Group has grown from

eight monthly papers this time last year
and plans to hold steady with 15 papers
moving into 2016.
On April 1, they had formed a partnership with Oordt, owner of the Marketeer,
a free shopper type supplement. They
changed their name from MJ (My Jersey)
Media to New View Media with The idea
that we have a new view on media, says
Nicastro.
All community news, from schools to
government, people, organizations, places
of worship, libraries, non-profit organizations, volunteer services, childrens
groups, scouts, fundraisers and more are
featured in the free monthly papers. The
companys philosophy is to showcase all
the good, positive news that surrounds its
readers.
New View Media Groups publications,
moving forward, include Mt. Olive News,
Hackettstown News, Roxbury News, Randolph News, Black River News, Morristown News, Mendham News, Madison

Notable Events From 2015
he dawn of a new year is not only a

great time to look ahead and make
plans for the future, but its also a
great time to reflect on the previous 12
months. The following are some notable
events from 2015.
Just seven days into the new year, a terrorist attack on the French satirical newspaper Charlie Hebdo shocks the world.
Twelve people, including several cartoonists and two police officers, are killed,
while five others suffer critical injuries. The
attacks are later linked to the terrorist organization Al Qaeda, which reportedly ordered the attacks in retaliation for the
publications caricatures of the Prophet
Muhammad.
United States President Barack Obama
and Cuban President Raul Castro meet in
early April, marking the first time in more
than half a century the two countries leaders met face-to-face. Less than two months
later, the United States removes Cuba from
its list of state sponsors of terrorism, moving one significant step closer to restoring
full diplomatic relations between the two
countries.
Ireland becomes the first country to le-
galize same-sex marriage in a national referendum on May 22. Roughly 62 percent of

voters approve changing the countrys constitution to allow same-sex marriage, a vote
that comes 22 years after the Irish government decriminalized homosexuality.
Just one day after American Independence Day, the United States Womens National Team wins the Womens World Cup
in Vancouver, British Columbia. The game
is a rout, as American Carli Lloyd scores a
hat trick in the first three minutes of the
game en route to leading her team to a 5-2
victory over Japan. Lloyds hat trick was
the first such feat in Womens World Cup
Final history.
Alexis Tsipras wins a snap election on
September 20 to once again become Prime
Minister of Greece. The elections come
roughly one month after Tsipras announces
his resignation as a result of intraparty defections that have cost him his majority in
the Greek parliament.
The Chicago Cubs clinch a postseason
series at Wrigley Field for the first time
ever when they defeat the St. Louis Cardinals 6-4 to win one of two National League
Division Series.

New Jersey Ballet's Nutcracker At MPAC To Bring Holiday Cheer
ew Jersey Ballet's 45th anniversary

season presentation of the holiday
classic Nutcracker comes to Mayo
Performing Arts Center for 14 performances beginning Fri., Dec. 11, at 7:30 p.m.
Tickets are $29-69.
New Jersey Ballet's 45th anniversary
season presentation of the holiday classic
Nutcracker will feature musical accompaniment by the New Jersey Symphony Orchestra. The collaboration marks the first
time that MPAC, New Jersey's leading ballet company and symphony orchestra have
worked together to present the seasonal favorite in Morristown.
"Adding the prestige of New Jersey
Symphony Orchestra to the artistry of New
Jersey Ballet is sure to make the 45th anniversary of Nutcracker a memorable event
for all who attend," says Allison Larena,
president and CEO of MPAC. "There will
be extra magic in the air when two of the
state's most acclaimed artistic organizations
collaborate, along with MPAC, for this
must-see holiday experience."
"We're looking forward to the 45th sea-
son of our holiday classic, and we're especially delighted that the New Jersey Symphony Orchestra is joining us at the Mayo
Performing Arts Center to create this powerful collaboration of three great New Jersey cultural institutions," adds Carolyn
Clark, director of New Jersey Ballet.
New Jersey Ballet's Nutcracker is the
longest running original professional production in the state. It debuted in Millburn
in 1971 with international star of New York
City Ballet Edward Villella as the Cavalier.
Since then, the company has given approximately 800 performances in theatres
throughout NJ, with more than 5,000
dancers and children, and more than a million viewers. Many in the audience who
saw the production as children now bring
their own children and grandchildren to see
this cherished holiday tradition.
New Jersey Ballet's Nutcracker at
MPAC will feature the NJSO under the
baton of Gary S. Fagin. When the curtain
rises, audiences in Morristown can expect
the eye-popping special effects, brilliant
dancing, glorious costumes, and the magic
and pantomime that have inspired critics.

Mayo Performing Arts Center, a
501(c)(3) nonprofit organization, presents
a wide range of programs that entertain, enrich, and educate the diverse population of
the region and enhance the economic vital-
ity of Northern New Jersey.

Performances of the Nutcracker will run
through Dec. 26. For more information and

eaving cookies and milk for Santa

Claus is a Christmas Eve tradition.
Children regularly place a dish of
cookies and a glass of milk by the tree on
Christmas Eve so that Santa has enough energy to complete all of his gift-giving before kids wake up on Christmas morning.
The tradition of leaving cookies out on
Christmas Eve may trace its origins to Saint
Nicholas. On the feast of St. Nicholas on
December 6, children would leave food and
drink for the saint and any attendants. The
treats would be exchanged for gifts. While

thats one theory behind the tradition, others
think it is linked to the history of the Christmas tree and the edible decorations that
adorn it. Santa would snack on the ornaments. Even after edible decorations gave
way to inedible ornaments, the tradition of
leaving a snack for Santa remained. Whatever the origins behind the tradition, millions of children dutifully leave milk and
cookies for Santa on Christmas Eve.

We also are encouraging our visitors to
bring non-perishable food items, non-perishable pet food, new unwrapped toys, and

Christmas Tree Varieties And Care
n evergreen tree decked out in lights

and ornaments is one of the universal
symbols of the holiday season. The
Christmas tree tradition is believed to have
originated in Germany in the 15th or 16th
centuries, when trees were decorated with edibles, such as nuts and fruits. They were later
decorated with candles and eventually lights.
Through the centuries, people have
trekked to forests, Christmas tree farms and
commercial lots to pick the perfect trees for
their holiday displays. The National Christ-
mas Tree Association says more than 33 million real trees are purchased each year, making the tree business a billion-dollar industry.
While there are scores of evergreen varieties,
certain tree types are more popular than others and thus more available for purchase. The
following are some of the more popular trees
come Christmastime.
Eastern Redcedar: Branches of the tree
are compact and form a pyramid-shaped
crown. The trees should be a dark, shiny
green color. The eastern redcedar is not a true
cedar tree, but a member of the juniper family. This tree can make a great cut tree with a
homespun look and a pungent fragrance.
Leyland Cypress: This cypress is one of
the more popular Christmas trees in the
southeastern United States. The tree will be
very dark green to almost gray in color. It has
little aroma. Some people choose the Leyland
because it does not produce sap, which is
great for those with sap allergies.
Colorado Blue Spruce: An attractive bluegreen foliage and a good symmetrical form
is what attracts many people to the blue
spruce. The Colorado Blue Spruce has an excellent natural shape and requires little pruning to look like the perfect Christmas tree. Its
not very fragrant, but the tree needles may
give off an unpleasant odor when crushed.
Scotch Pine: A classic conical shape and
very good needle retention help make the
Scotch pine a popular tree to cut for the holidays. Scotch pines also are quite prevalent
thanks to the trees adaptability to a wide
range of climates.
Eastern White Pine: A delicate green color
and long needles are found on this tree. Another popular pine, the rich fragrance of the
white pine may make it preferable to those
who like their homes to smell of evergreen.
Douglas Fir: The Douglas fir is one of the
foremost Christmas tree species in the United
States. It has soft needles that are dark green
in color. Those needles radiate in all directions from the branches to give the tree a full
look. The needles, when crushed, have a
sweet fragrance. Douglas firs tend to live
long when cut.
Fraser Fir: Another popular fir for Christ-
mas is the Fraser fir. The needles are bicolored, with dark green on top and silver on the
bottom. More fragrant than its cousin, the
Douglas, the Fraser also boasts a slender profile, which makes it suitable for smaller
rooms.
Christmas Tree Maintenance
Nothing can guarantee the health and appearance of a tree after it is brought into a home.
But
choosing
a
recently
cut tree that has good needle retention can
help. Here are other tips for a long-lasting
tree.
Use a sharp saw to cut an inch off of
the trunk base to remove the sappy
covering that forms from cutting. This will
improve water intake.
Fill a tree stand reservoir with warm
water. Expect the tree to drink heavily
in the beginning.
Keep the reservoir filled every day and
check to see how much water the tree
is using.
Place the tree far from heaters or
other drying sources.

Save Energy with Holiday Decorations
he holiday season allows people to

transform their homes into wonderlands of lights, garlands and poinsettias. Each family has its own holiday
traditions, and decorations are a part of
many of those traditions.
Decorations might be awe-inspiring, but
those that include lights often lead to substantially higher energy bills. Fortunately,
there are ways for homeowners, whether
they prefer subtle displays or more over-thetop arrangements, to save money and still
celebrate the holiday season in style.
Switch to more efficient lights. A great
way to ensure holiday displays consume
less energy is to change the bulbs being
strung. Incandescent lights can use 80 to 90
percent more energy than LED lights. Gradually replace older light strands with newer,
energy-efficient LEDs. Not only do LEDs
require less energy, but they also can last
longer than incandescent bulbs, meaning
you wont have to replace them as frequently as more traditional bulbs. Furthermore, lower wattage usage means you can
attach more strands of lights together safely.

Use timers. Timers can be set to turn
lights on and off at specific times, ensuring
lights arent turning on during the daytime
or being left on into the night by forgetful
homeowners. Timers also are a good safety
precaution. A dark house that is normally lit
up can advertise to thieves that no one is
home. When lights turn on with a timer, it
will create the illusion that it is business as
usual in your residence.
Use homemade decorations. You also
can save energy and money by recycling
materials into holiday dcor. Trim branches
from trees and use them in vases for an instant wintry look. Prune an evergreen on
your property and make your own wreath
with some wire and twine. Shop yard sales
for gently used decorations that still have
years of utility left. Sew ornaments from
scraps of fabric or clothing that no longer
fits. Each of these ideas reduces reliance on
manufactured decorations that consume energy during production and fuel
while being transported from factories to
store shelves.
Rely on extension cords. You can extend
the length of displays without using more
lights by spacing out light strands with extension cords. Intersperse spotlights to add
attention to key elements of your display as
well.
Turn off interior lights. If a Christmas
tree is illuminating a front window, turn off
the lights in your home, as the tree may provide enough light to make a living room or
den extra cozy.
The History Behind Some Beloved Christmas Songs
oliday traditions vary from family

to family, but one component of the
holidays that seems to be universally enjoyed is a good Christmas song.
Music is piped throughout malls and stores
to entertain shoppers, and favorite tunes
may be on the radio or streamed through a
digital music service as families decorate
their homes.
Many people may love Christmas songs
and carols, but not everyone shares the
same favorites. Thankfully, theres no shortage of material when it comes to Christmas
songs, ensuring theres something for
everyone.
In 2014, Time magazine researched
records at the U.S. Copyright Office to determine the most popular and most recorded
Christmas songs since 1978. when copyright registrations were digitized. The following are some of the more beloved
holiday tunes and a bit of history about each
song.
Silent Night: One of the most rerecorded songs in history (733 versions since
1978), Silent Night, was composed in

1818 by Franz Xaver Gruber and put to
lyrics by Joseph Mohr. It was first performed on Christmas Eve at St. Nicholas
parish church in Oberndorf, a village in
Austria. Todays version is a slow lullaby,
but its believed the original was a dancelike tune in 6/8 time.
O Holy Night: This popular song
was composed by Adolphe Adam in 1847
to a French poem titled, Minuit, chrtiens
(Midnight, Christians). Many notable performers, including Perry Como, Cline
Dion, Josh Groban, Michael Crawford, and
Lea
Michele,
have
performed
O Holy Night.
Silver Bells: Now a Christmas classic, Silver Bells originally was written for
the Bob Hope film, The Lemon Drop
Kid. Songwriter Jay Livingston wanted to
title the song Tinkle Bell, but his wife dissuaded him from using the word tinkle.
White Christmas: Irving Berlin believed his song White Christmas would
be an instant hit. His prediction was correct,
especially after singer Bing Crosby

recorded it.
Jingle Bells: Although it has become
one of the more popular Christmas songs,
Jingle Bells really was written for
Thanksgiving. Its also one of the oldest
holiday songs of American origin. James
Lord Pierpont, the songs author, was inspired by the famous sleigh races of Medford, Massachusetts.
Do You Hear What I Hear: Noel
Regney wrote this song as a call to peace
during the Cuban Missile Crisis. The original context has long been forgotten, and
Do You Hear What I Hear is now a staple
of holiday celebrations.
Santa Claus is Coming to Town:
James Gillespie wrote this tune while riding
a subway and reminiscing about his childhood with his brother. It became a hit after
being performed at the famed Macys
Thanksgiving Day Parade.
The Christmas Song: This classic
Christmas song was written in 1944 by Bob
Wells and Mel Torm. Its usually subtitled
Chestnuts Roasting on an Open Fire. The

song was written during a heat wave as a
way to think cool thoughts. It only took 40
minutes to write the music and some of the
lyrics. Nat King Coles rendition of the
song is among the more popular versions.
Christmas songs are enjoyed and performed year after year. Popular songs continue to endure and attract new fans.

How To Organize A Donation Drive Or Another Charitable Event
he holiday season is a time of giving

especially the charitable kind of
giving. Many peoples thoughts shift
to the less fortunate during the holiday season, and those thoughts spur many to do
more than make financial contributions to
their favorite charities.
The Blackbaud Index, a firm that specializes in developing software and services
for nonprofit organizations, says about 34
percent of all charitable giving is done in
the last three months of the year. Of those
donations, about 18 percent are given in
December alone.
Charitable giving can help nonprofit organizations realize their missions, but
donors who want to go the extra mile
can organize a donation drive or
another charitable event to lend an
even bigger hand to an organization thats
special to them.
Pick an organization to partner with.
When deciding where to focus your efforts,
look for an organization or group whose
story or mission resonates with you. A personal connection to the cause may prove
motivational, and others whose help you

seek when organizing the event may be
more likely to participate if they see the
passion you have for your cause.
Explore different donation options. Asking for financial donations is an effective
and straightforward way to support a great
cause. But you also can focus your efforts
on encouraging local businesses and professionals to donate their products, time and
services. Toy and food drives are popular
this time of year, when donors want to
make sure less fortunate families can share
holiday gifts and meals. Speak with the organization you choose to work with about
their most glaring needs, and then organize
a benefit that can help to fill those needs.
Enlist a group of volunteers. Charitable
giving can provide an emotional boost to
people of all ages. It also can instill a sense
of purpose in you and your friends, family
and neighbors. Despite the often hectic pace
of the holiday season, many people are
eager to lend a hand and support a good
cause during this time of year. Employ people in their areas of expertise. If someone is
good with accounting, have him or her keep

track of the money raised by your efforts.
If another person is an excellent event planner, put that individual in charge of managing the details of your event. Everyone can
contribute in one way or another; its just a
matter of putting people in a position where
they can be of the most help.
Spread the word. Effectively advertising
your charity event will attract many partic-
ipants. Ask that your local priest or pastor

make an announcement during church services or place an ad in your local paper. Put
up signs where they will be seen, such as
inside supermarkets. And dont forget to
take to social media, where you can encourage others to share the details of your event.
Organizing a charity event is a heartfelt
way to help people in need during the holiday season.

Ways To Stay Healthy This Holiday Season
ith the holiday season upon us,

many peoples schedules are
hectic once again. There are social events and family gatherings to attend,
shopping ventures to make, and decorating
to be done. While fun, the holiday season
can be a time of added pressure, which leads
to stress and other unhealthy situations.
At a time when you want to be at your
best, stress can affect your physical wellbeing. The American Psychological Associ-
ation says the hustle and bustle of the holidays has psychological consequences for
some people. More people are inclined to
feel that their stress increases, rather than
decreases, around the holidays. The National Institute of Mental Health says
chronic stress can lower immunity and
cause excretory, digestive and reproductive
systems to stop working properly. Stress
also may cause you to eat unhealthy snacks
to cope, and that can lead to unwanted
weight gain.
Stress is not the only potential health
hazard that can arise around the holidays. A
greater number of parties expose you to an
abundance of foods and drinks you may not
consume on a regular basis, and that can
lead to a lot of mindless eating. Weight
gained during this time of year can be difficult to shed come January, when colder temperatures challenge many peoples
motivation to exercise.
Also, social settings put you in close contact with a greater number of people, potentially increasing your exposure to germs.
You can still feel your best during the
holidays. Follow these tips for maintaining

a healthy mind and body.
Get the flu vaccine. The flu vaccine can
protect you against various strains of the flu.
Get a flu shot before the holidays so you are
ready for cold and flu season.
Carry disinfecting wipes. Germs can
linger on surfaces long after an infected person has come and gone. Studies from researchers at the University of Arizona in
Tucson have found the flu virus and even
the antibiotic-resistant bacteria MRSA on
airline tray tables. Buses, trains and doors
all may be harboring germs. Wipe down surfaces with disinfecting wipes and allow
them to air-dry before touching them. This
can help you avoid coming into contact with
germs.
Balance your activities. It can be tempting to overbook your schedule with a ton of
activities, but this may ultimately prove
stressful. Leave days open to relax and do
things you want to do, such as viewing
Christmas light displays or even just unwinding at home with a good book. Try delegating some tasks to others in the
household so you dont take on too much responsibility.

Keep up an exercise routine. Dont stray
too far from your exercise schedule. You
may have to move workout times to free up
other time later in the day for shopping or
parties. Early morning is a good time to exercise because it gets you moving first thing
in the morning and might even encourage
you to hit the sack a little earlier each night,
ensuring you get all the sleep you need. Exercise also can improve energy levels and
relieve stress.
Dont focus on food. Focus more on enjoyable activities that keep you moving
rather than always being seated around the
table for a big meal. Save indulgences for
one or two treats on the holidays and eat
sensibly otherwise.
Talk to someone. If the holidays have
you feeling blue, talk to a friend or family
member. If you need more professional support, find a social worker or psychologist
that can help you work through stress and
other feelings.

Treat Holiday Guests With This Chocolate Confection
o holiday celebration is complete

without dessert. The holiday season is one time of year when no
one seems too worried about indulging in
dessert or having an extra cookie. Many
families have their own traditions when it
comes to holiday fare, but those who want
to wow their guests with something new
this holiday season can try the following
recipe for Chocolate-Dipped Sesame Tuiles courtesy of Michael Recchiuti and
Fran Gages Chocolate Obsession (Stewart, Tabori & Chang). Inspired by the classic French tuile cookies, these delectable
treats are sure to draw a crowd to your holiday dessert table this season.
Chocolate-Dipped Sesame Tuiles
Makes about 48 cookies
12 cup plus 1 tablespoon sesame seeds,
preferably unhulled
13 cup granulated cane sugar
13 cup unbleached all-purpose flour
18 tablespoon kosher salt
2 extra-large egg whites,
at room temperature
3 tablespoons unsalted butter with

82 percent butterfat, very soft
8 ounces tempered 70 percent
chocolate for coating cookies
Flavorless vegetable oil for the pans
To bake the cookies:
Preheat the oven to 350 F. Line the bottoms of four 12-by-18-inch sheet pans with
parchment paper. Lightly coat the paper
with flavorless vegetable oil. Put a rolling
pin on a work surface. If you have two
rolling pins, ready both.
Combine the sesame seeds, flour, sugar,
and salt in a medium bowl and whisk by
hand until combined. Mix dont beat
the egg whites into the sesame seed mixture
with a rubber spatula. Stir in the butter with
the spatula until no streaks of butter remain.
Measure 2 level teaspoons batter onto a
prepared sheet pan. Using a small offset
spatula, spread it into a round about 312
inches in diameter. Repeat with the remaining batter, putting 8 rounds on each pan and
leaving 112 inches between the rounds.
Bake the trays, one at a time, until the
cookies are a uniform golden brown, 6 to 8
minutes. Remove from the oven and, while

the cookies are still warm, run the offset
spatula under each cookie and place it upside down on the rolling pin so that it curls
around the pin. (You should be able to do 5
cookies on a rolling pin, so by the time the
sixth cookie is about to be draped over the
pin, a few should be ready to be moved.
Ideally, though, you will have two rolling
pins.) If some of the cookies are not a uniform color, or if some cool too much and
are no longer pliable, return them to the
oven for another minute until evenly golden
brown and again pliable.
Leave the cookies on the rolling pin until
they cool completely and have become brittle, a matter of seconds. Carefully lift them
off and store them in an airtight container
at room temperature until you are ready to
dip them. They will keep well for up to 3
days.
Dip the cookies in chocolate:
You can store the cookies and dip them
on a day when you have tempered chocolate for another use. Or you can temper
chocolate specifically to finish the cookies.
Chocolate-Dipped Sesame Tuiles
Use a tempering machine to temper the

chocolate.
Dip the convex (smooth) side of each
cookie into the chocolate and then smooth
the chocolate with a small offset spatula.
Place on a work surface, chocolate side up,
and let sit until the chocolate sets, about 30
minutes.
Store in an airtight container in a cool
place, not in the refrigerator. They will keep
for up to one week.

Christmas Vacation Still A Top Pick For Holiday Flicks
oliday films hold a

special place in
many
peoples
hearts, and perhaps no holiday movie of the last 30
years has resonated as much
as National Lampoons
Christmas Vacation. The
oft-quoted holiday favorite
turned 25 years old in 2014,
yet the film remains as popular as ever.
Fans of Christmas Vacation can no doubt quote
their favorite lines from the
film, but the following are a
few tidbits that even the
most ardent Vacation fan
might be unfamiliar with.
The movie is based on
a story titled Christmas
59, which
was writ-
ten by the same man, John

Hughes, who wrote and
produced the film. The film
pays homage to this story
when Clark Griswold is
rummaging through the
attic and finds a movie reel
named Christmas 59.
Frank Capra III worked
as an assistant director on
the film. In one scene of the
film, Its a Wonderful
Life, which was directed
by Frank Capra IIIs grandfather, is on a television in
the background.
Actress Mae Questrel
(Aunt Bethany) provided
the voices for Betty Boop
and Olive Oyl in the 1930s.
Christmas
Vacation
would be her final film.
Christmas Vacation
featured a handful of Saturday Night Live alumni.
In addition to the films star,
Chevy Chase, SNL alums
Randy Quaid, Julia LouisDreyfus and Brian Doyle
Murray appeared in the
film.
The role of Cousin
Rocky had no lines in the
film.
In the Lampoon
films that preceded Christmas Vacation, Rusty was
the older child of the Griswold clan. However, he is
the younger sibling in this
film.
Christmas Vacation
marked the directorial debut
for Jeremiah Chechik, who
Clean Up Pesky Pine Needles
espite how well you may tend to

Christmas trees and wreaths, you
can expect some pine needles to
find their way onto your floors during the
holiday season. Such needles can become
imbedded in carpeting or stuck in socks and
furniture, proving to be quite a nuisance. Attempting to vacuum them all up can be frustrating, as some vacuums simply do not
have the suction power to handle all of those
heavy needles. Plus, they can become
lodged in the inner cavities of the vacuum
and clog it. To lessen the mess, wrap a tree
bag around the base of the Christmas tree
when you are setting it up and hide it under
the tree skirt. This bag will catch many of

the needles that fall off during the season.
Each day, sweep any needles that make it to
the floor so they are not tracked around the
house throughout the month of December.
Think about making a homemade sticky
needle catcher. Wrap duct tape around your
hands or a broom with the sticky side facing
out, then pat areas of the floor where needles
have accumulated, and the needles will
likely stick to the tape. If you want the evergreen aroma to last a little longer in your
home, place collected pine needles in a cloth
satchel and make a potpourri bag for an inexpensive air freshener.

went on to direct Benny &

Joon and 1998s The
Avengers.
The movie had a large
budget ($27 million) for a
comedy with no special effects.
Surprisingly, Christmas Vacation had its own
sequel that few are familiar
with. The made-for-television National Lampoons
Christmas Vacation 2:
Cousin Eddies Island Adventure was released in
2003.
Cousin Eddies fashion
style, in particular the
sweater/Dickie combination, was the brainchild of
actor Randy Quaids wife.
No part of Christmas
Vacation takes place on
Christmas Day. The film
culminates with the antics
that take place at the Griswold home on December
24.
Brian Doyle-Murray,
who played Frank Shirley,

is the brother of another famous comic actor: Bill
Murray.
Christmas Vacation
was the only movie in the

series up until then that did
not feature Lindsey Buckinghams song, Holiday
Road.

1910 Thomas Edison Created Virtual Time Business Technology And

Silent Video Infomercial In West Orange
By Michele Guttenberger
irtual business time concepts and entertainment technology wasnt born in Hollywood or Silicon Valley
but in a New Jersey laboratory by Thomas Alva Edison.
Thomas Edison invented a new technology that could both
record sound and play it back. In 1878 Edison was awarded
U.S. Patent No. 200,521 for the phonograph. In 1897 Thomas
Edison was also awarded one of the first movie camera
patents that started the worlds movie industry with a studio
and film production company in West Orange. This was long
before the wonders of Hollywood and Silicon Valley.
Todays most recent technical wizardry in business and
personal devices has only a few frontrunners- like Apple and
Google whose ads appear on every medium available. Fast
forward to over a century ago and the competition in dynamic
and innovative technology was closed to just a few leaders
too.
The never before audio technology of the 20th century
was the phonograph. The pioneering years in recorded sound
had only a few companies competing in this new technology
- Thomas Edisons Companies, Victor Victrola and Columbia. The digital world did not exist and so sound and video
where stored and transmitted in an analog world. It was the
grooves etched into cylinders or flat discs that stored audio
sound and it was the stylus (needle) that played what was impressed on those grooves.
Sound and video would remain separate formats in the
early 20th century. It would take a while before sound and
video would be combined on one device. Still, Thomas Edison felt the phonograph was a marvel for both business and
entertainment applications. Hence, the phonograph was first
marketed as breakthrough office equipment technology that
could help in dictating typed correspondence. In the world of
office correspondence everything had to be done in real time.
Managers would speak each word of their letter to the secretary who would then write down these thoughts which were
later typed out. Both the manager and secretary stenographer
needed to be present simultaneously for dictating and note
taking.
The creation of the phonograph also created virtual time.
Now managers could dictate their thoughts into a recording
device without a secretary present to take notes. Recorded
letters could be listened to when time was available to the
typing secretary. The winning feature was that the information could be replayed at any selected point multiple times
for clarity before typing. This cut down on mistaken errors
in typed correspondence. Without the invention of auto correction, typed correspondence had to be letter perfect on
the first attempt.

Thomas Edison besides being a great inventor was keen

at marketing his new innovations. He used these inventions
as novel new tools and mediums to further promote his products. The amusing irony of invention was that Edison would
use his silent movie industry to promote his audio sound industry. In 1910 he created a silent docudrama film that had
all the elements of todays infomercials. The film was entitled
The Stenographers Friend or What was Accomplished by
Edisons Business Phonograph. The skit showed how the
Business Phonograph could free up the real time work load
for the office staff. It created a new concept in virtual time
with the recorded dictated letter. The film had a happy ending
where this office technology enabled the office staff to go
home on time with all the recorded business correspondence
ready for the next business day.
This 105 year old message of better business results
through innovative office equipment can be played today.
