EUROPEAN DESIGN AT ITS BEST Since 1916

Librarian Karen deWilde, it was the first book club meeting of this school year.

Booked for Lunch came about through a collaborative effort between Maccarella and deWilde.

“It’s really hard,” said deWilde. “Kids are super busy. They have a hard time coming to the library for book clubs with after school activities and transportation issues. We know we have a great circulation of teen books here and we wanted to provide kids with the opportunity to read and talk about books within their busy schedules. So far

it’s working very well.”

The students sign up for the book club voluntarily, and during their 30 minute lunch break, students from

four different periods trickle in and out to converse and share their voice by debating about the book, voicing their opinions, examining the fundamental issues the books brings to light and even discuss the books’ film potential.

Attendance ranges from eight to 15 students per-period, with an estimated total of 40 kids participating each month. When describing the students, Maccarella stated, “There are kids who are avid readers and then others who are coaxing. Whether they finish

As for book selections, deWilde stated, “We look for books that talk about issues. High interest books that are also thought provoking.” She went on to explain how the current book meets these expectations: “It’s about a man who takes his family to live in an underground compound to escape nuclear war.

The students also have a choice in what book they get to read for the next month.

While Maccarella and deWilde choose books to present to the students to choose for their next read, the choice goes to the students.

“Karen and I nominate books and figure out what will work,” said Maccarella. “We want a good solid read that they might not have looked at or know about. We introduce four or five titles, give a quick synopsis, and then they vote for the next book.”

The program promotes reading for pleasure in a fun and accessible way. The students eat lunch, play games and build

a rapport with one another in a safe place where they can express their thoughts and opinions. Students are also learning how to branch out and find more books on their own.

Maccarella said, “Once the kids read the book it gets easier to find them their next great read as we know their likes and opinions. We open a doorway for them to follow that genre a little bit more closely. It helps to promote the whole idea that reading can take you places and give you an adventure.”

The purpose of Booked for Lunch and the efforts of Maccarella and deWilde are clear. “Get books in the hands of kids that they would enjoy. We’re making lifetime readers.”

Adult Coloring Sessions To Be Held At Livingston Library

he Livingston Library’s successful adult coloring program has announced dates for the last session of the year in November and December.

Adult coloring has grown tremendously in popularity across the country. Coloring books are huge bestsellers, with Nielsen BookScan reporting that 12 million copies of coloring books were sold in the U.S. in 2015.

Studies show that coloring has a calming effect on mood, improving energy levels and even how well a person sleeps.

The American Library Association praises these programs as a way to create community, encourage creativity and allow for a safe and relaxing way for adults to socialize.

“Coloring definitely has therapeutic potential to reduce anxiety, create focus or bring [about] more mindfulness,” says Marygrace Berberian, a certified art therapist and the Clinical Assistant Professor

and Program Coordinator for the Graduate Art Therapy Program at NYU. Just like meditation, coloring also allows a person to switch off their brains from other thoughts and focus only on the moment, helping to alleviate free-floating anxiety. It can be particularly effective for people who aren’t comfortable with more creatively expressive forms of art, adds Berberian.

Archana Chiplunkar, librarian who runs these sessions says, “Everyone is welcome to drop in for these sessions, for an hour of calm, creativity and socializing, and perhaps in the process, find their inner artist!”

Coloring books/sheets and supplies will be provided along with some relaxing music! No registration is required and are set to be held on Mon., from 7 p.m. - 8 p.m., on Nov. 21 and Dec. 5 and 12. Sessions are also planned for Thurs., 11 a.m. to noon, on Nov. 17 and Dec. 1, 8 and 15.

NCJW Honors Two Couples For Philanthropy And Leadership

Gala honorees, pictured from left, are Alan Johnson, Jill Sorkin Johnson, Sharon Falkin and Stuart Falkin.

T

he National Council of Jewish Women, Essex County Section (NCJW/Essex) held a Spotlight Gala to honor two couples who have shown unflagging support of the organization and to celebrate the 35th anniversary of the Linda & Rudy Slucker NCJW/Essex Center for Women.

The Spotlight Gala, held at Crestmont Country Club in West Orange, on Sun. Sept. 25, honored Sharon and Stuart

Falkin of West Orange and Jill and Alan Johnson of Montclair. Both couples have embodied the spirit of NCJW/ Essex with their continuous contributions of support, involvement and leadership, making a difference in the lives of women, children and families throughout Essex County and New Jersey.

NCJW/Essex has been an advocate for social change in Essex County for more than 100 years. More than 200 benefactors, volunteers, friends, family and staff were proud to pay tribute to the Falkins, the Johnsons and the Center for Women at the Spotlight Gala.

“We are very fortunate that the Falkins and the Johnsons care so deeply about our communities,” said Shari Harrison, NCJW/Essex president. “They have proven that giving both time and money to an organization is rewarding when you believe in the mission and know that what you give has an impact.”

The evening also featured recognition of the 35th anniversary of the Center for Women. The evening festivities wrapped up with a special performance by the Unexpected Boys, an a cappella singing group which brought the best of Broadway to the Spotlight Gala.

hoosing the best food for a dog or cat’s needs is an important consideration that can play a big part in their long-term health. However, it’s not the end of the story when it comes to their proper feeding.

Michele Dixon, Health and Nutrition Specialist with Petcurean, says how you feed your pet is an important complement to the food itself. She serves up these tips for your pet to savor every moment during mealtime. You can get more helpful information at www.petcurean.com.

Follow the feeding and transition guidelines on the pet food label and increase or decrease the amount you feed based on your pet’s activity level and weight.

• The type of feeding bowl or dish matters. Choose a durable, nonporous material that’s easy to clean, won’t hold bacteria and can’t be chewed by your pet.

• Use the right size dish for your pet to feed comfortably. For example, if your dog has a short snout, use a bowl with a sloped side, so it’s easier for them to get the food.

• Avoid using the pet’s feeding bowl as a scooping utensil. Use a clean, scoop or spoon that’s only used for this purpose.

• Wash pet food bowls and scooping utensils with soap and hot water after each use.

• Refrigerate or discard any uneaten wet or canned pet food right away.

Lions And Hyenas Joining Turtle Back Zoo Family

E

ssex County Executive Joseph N. DiVincenzo, Jr. outlined plans to develop the Ronald J. Mount Lion and Hyena Exhibit at Essex County Turtle Back Zoo in West Orange on Wed., Oct. 26. The exhibit is named after the late Ronald J. Mount, who was a major supporter of the zoo and a member of the Zoological Society of New Jersey and the Volunteer Docent organization.

Other additions announced include a new Condor Exhibit, enhancements to the Cattle Exhibit, new fencing at the Essex Farm Petting Zoo and shade structures at the Sea Lion Sound Exhibit, amphitheater and Dinosaur Playground.

“We are very excited about bringing lions and hyenas to Turtle Back Zoo because they are the animals that people most identify with the African Savanna,” said DiVincenzo. “In addition, a lion is the central figure on our Essex County Seal, so we are pleased about bringing the real life version of our iconic seal here. We are always looking for new ways to attract new visitors and enhance their experience. Bringing new animal exhibits, upgrading exhibits to improve viewing areas for the public and introducing amenities create new things for people see and learn about and makes their visits more enjoyable.”

Mount’s son, Ian Mount, said, “The exhibit is going to be an amazing addition to Turtle Back Zoo. I thank the County Executive and the Freeholders for the deep respect you’ve shown my father and my family. When I think of

No rush fees. Ever.

Lions, I think about pride, and that reminds me of my father. I’m proud of him when I think of all the lives he has touched.”

The lion and hyena exhibit will be located in the African Adventure Exhibit adjacent to the Giraffe House.

The half-acre exhibit will be heavily landscaped and have a two-foot pool and exposed rock formation. There will be three viewing stations for the public. Inside the exhibit near one of the viewing stations will be a heated stone patio to attract the lions so they can be easily seen by the public. At the rear of the exhibit will be a heated one-story building that is designed to resemble a North African fortress that has been returned to the wild.

“This is the busiest attraction in New Jersey,” Sheriff Armando Fontoura said. “We are pleased to partner with the County Executive and the Freeholders to make it the safest in the state,” he added.

“I have always had a great deal of respect for Ronald Mount because he gave so much back and the zoo was one of his pet projects,” Assemblyman Thomas Giblin said.

“The addition of the Lion Exhibit really completes the zoo the way it should be.”

Several other projects were being undertaken to create new or enhance existing animal exhibits, provide amenities to make visitors’ experiences more enjoyable and to modernize fencing.

A new Condor Exhibit is being constructed next to the

Penguin Coast Exhibit. It will take the place of an older exhibit that was damaged several years ago after a storm.

Construction started earlier in October is scheduled to be completed by the spring of 2017.

The viewing areas at the Scottish Highland Cattle and Wolf Woods exhibits are being improved to provide the public with better opportunities to see the animals. At the Scottish Highland Cattle Exhibit, a new covered viewing area for the public is being constructed. The improvements include creating a patio area for the public to gather in front of the exhibit. Instead of looking through a fence into the exhibit, glass walls will be erected. A lattice covering will provide shade over the viewing area.

Shade structures are being installed over the Sea Lion Sound pool, the amphitheater and the children’s Dinosaur Playground. The shade structure over the Sea Lion exhibit will help regulate the water quality in the pool and, by keeping the water from direct sunlight, will help suppress the growth of algae in the water. The structure over the playground will keep the apparatus out of direct sunlight and prevent the climbing structures from getting too hot.

The amphitheater structure will provide shade for people attending educational or entertainment programs.

New perimeter fencing is also being installed at the Zoo.

Creative Ways To Celebrate Chanukah

any jokes have been shared about the complexity of growing up Jewish surrounded by Christian friends and the overwhelming influence of Christmas come the month of December. Seemingly everywhere you look buildings, stores and homes are decked out in lights and decorations.

But Christmas celebrants are not the only ones with reason to be festive this time of year, when Chanukah is also cause for celebration.

Perhaps due to its proximity to Thanksgiving and Christmas, Chanukah tends to be the most widely celebrated Jewish holiday in America. Even though it is officially listed as a minor continued on next page

Creative Ways To Celebrate Chanukah...

continued from previous page

holiday, Chanukah is important to families across the globe. In fact, because the basis of Chanukah is rededication to the faith, it very well may be an instrumental celebration for families who may need to find their way back to the roots of their beliefs.

Chanukah celebrations may not feature lavishly decorated trees or scores of

celebrants belting out carols, but it bears significance for the thousands of people who celebrate each year. While Chanukah is steeped in tradition, the following are a handful of ways you can add a creative spin to your family’s festivities this year.

• Light: One of the major tenets of Chanukah is how light can shine and lead a person through dark periods. This is typically

exemplified by the lighting of the menorah, which is prominently placed in windows or other visible areas of celebrants’ homes.

This Chanukah spend time with someone who may be dealing with an illness or the loss of a loved one. You may be the light that inspires this person each day. Give candles to friends and family members to symbolize the light that will shine in the future.

• Oil: Another component of Chanukah celebrations is the focus on how a one-day supply of oil somehow lasted eight days during the rededication of the temple’s menorah. Many ways to include oil in celebrations exist. Some people like to get creative in the kitchen, serving fried foods and desserts. Think about giving gifts of oil, such as fragrant essential oils that can be used in potpourri or in the bath or shower. Working alongside their parents, children can see how a wick drenched in oil can serve as an efficient lighting source and decorate the home with these homemade oil lamps.

• Twenty-five: Bring attention to the number 25, which is significant when cel-

ebrating Chanukah. The word Chanukah can be divided into two: Chanu, meaning “they rested,” and Kah, which is the numerical value of 25. On the 25th day of the Hebrew month of Kislev, the Maccabees rested from their battle with the Greeks and triumphantly marched into the Holy Temple in Jerusalem. Make 25 a part of celebrations by inviting 25 people to celebrate with you or ask children to make murals with 25 different adornments.

• Charitable giving: Gift-giving is now a component of Chanukah celebrations, but it wasn’t always. Greater importance was once placed on the lighting of candles to publicize the miracle and evangelize the faith. Some poor people could not afford candles, and these people would go doorto-door for candle funds, or “gelt,” to be able to purchase candles and kiddush wine.

Some Jewish families prefer to give money rather than gifts on Chanukah to keep with the tradition of Chanukah gelt. However, families also can incorporate charitable giving in their celebrations as a way to reinforce the customs of giving to the poor.

Cedar Grove Police Named Champs In Annual Softball Fundraiser Battle

he 10th Annual Battle of the Badges Event was held on Sat., Oct. 15, at the Community Park in Cedar Grove.

More than 300 people attended to watch the competitive softball game featuring 11 teams from West Essex PBA, Verona PBA, Essex County Sheriff’s Office, and a non-profit charity group Brothers Before Others.

During the event, $8,842 was raised. Cedar Grove Police defeated Verona Police in finals.

The Battle of the Badges is held every year to raise money for someone in need and to foster a community relationship. More than $20,000 has been raised from the charity event during the last ten years.

Proceeds from this year’s event were earmarked to offset the costs of a service dog to help 16 year old Matthew Ribaudo of Cedar Grove who is living with Autism Spectrum Disorder, says Sgt. Jose Rodriguez of the Cedar Grove Police Dept. and organizer of the event.

Joseph Ribaudo is a former Cedar Grove Police Officer who retired in 2010 after serving in the department for 25 years, says Rodriguez.

St. Hubert’s Helps Dogs And Cats Impacted

By Hurricane Matthew

S

t. Hubert’s Animal Welfare Center and regional placement partners recently welcomed 86 dogs and cats to Madison from Wayne County Animal Adoption and Education Center in North Carolina. Wayne County and other parts of the region that were under state of emergency due to severe flooding. As a HSUS Emergency Placement Partner, St. Hubert’s Animal Welfare Center is often called in to participate in large scale rescues and coordinates the safe placement and adoption of those animals.

The animals in this transport were already awaiting adoption in North Carolina and are not the pets of displaced residents.

By evacuating the animals awaiting adoption from North Carolina, the local shelter can help to house lost pets of displaced res-

idents and orchestrate a plan for recovery.

Other emergency partners will be arriving at St. Hubert’s Madison Campus to assist and accept the animals they will be transferring to their shelters.

The alliance between the HSUS and Emergency Placement Partners (EPP), helps to ensure animals will be safely transported away from disaster areas, obtain the proper care they need and get ready for adoption – all in a timely manner.

Donations towards the care of these homeless pets and other St. Hubert’s emergency transfer efforts are greatly appreciated; those who can lend support can donate at www.sthuberts.org.

For more information, contact St. Hubert’s at 973-377-7094 ext. 242.

Motivation Sweetens The Recipe For Weight Loss

A

By Cheryl Conway t a recent exercise class, a new member walked in at least half way into the start of class. No biggie, I was few minutes late myself. But when I noticed that she was exercising without any shoes on, I thought well now that’s motivation!

The instructor stopped class and ran out to her car thinking she had an extra pair in her trunk, as they happen to wear the same size, but realized they were no longer

R

there. When asked where her shoes were, the member responded ‘I just couldn’t find them.’

Exercise and dieting go hand and hand, most trainers and fitness consultants would agree, when it comes to weight loss. But it is that third element that makes all the difference.

Like drinking coffee without cream and sugar, trying to lose weight without that key ingredient, motivation, it just does not mix well.

Did You Know?

esearching family history and genealogy can be an interesting project the entire family can enjoy. Thanks to the Internet and the various family history sites that have cropped up in recent years, it is now easier than ever for families to investigate their origins. Family genealogy projects may start as school assignments and grow into much more once the seed of curiosity has been planted.

Web sites such as Ancestry.com and FamilySearch.com can assist individuals with following up on family journals or wordof-mouth stories passed on through generations. Tracing one particular branch of the family may be more manageable at the outset. Once that desire for information is sated, you can move on to different family members or even a spouse’s family history.

I admire her motivation. This mother was late to class, missing almost half of it, but still showed up without shoes on her feet.

Toward the end of class, two other women came in to the building, not to exercise, but to set up for a funeral repass for a friend who just died. As they were arranging the tables and lining up the trays filled with delicious pastries as the sweet aroma of coffee filled the room, we were toning with our weights, doing sit ups on the mat and stretches at the end.

I was grateful and appreciative for that moment that I was able to be part of a group of women sharing in an exercise class bonded by the same goal of taking care of our most precious gift from God. We have one body and must be disciplined to take care of it no matter what it takes. Wearing athletic shoes does help of course, but if ‘by any means necessary’ is your motto, and that works for you, by all means, that is the way to go to lead you to a path toward better health and fitness.

No matter what the goal, success is hard to achieve without that motivation. Some may give up their lunch hour to walk four miles every day. Others may give up something they love like eating dessert or drinking alcohol.

Some figure if they exercise everyday they will lose weight, but that is not always the case. Most individuals, once they reach that magical age of 45, need to push themselves even harder or add on even more exercise to their regular routine.

Instead of running four miles, run twice that day and try for six miles. One dad I know spent his free time running his kids around to activities. But he found his motivation when he jumped on that treadmill 11 p.m. at night to still squeeze in that run while others would probably be watching the news or hitting the hay.

Back to that woman at my class, as we were doing our squats, she looked at me with an expression of pain. The class was challenging. I looked at her and told her

Progressive Educators Spread Literacy Through Book Bins

By Cheryl Conway he ‘book lady’ recently made her rounds in several towns in Essex County delivering bins of children’s books to nail salons and beauty, barber and braiding shops.

What started out in June as the Progressive Educators Essex County 2016 Literacy Community Initiative has continued, expanding to four towns with currently 17 beauty/barber shops, three braiding shops and one nail salon. West Orange resident Phyllis Ann Johnson, aka ‘the book lady,’ founded the project through her business Progressive Educators LLC, an educational resource company in West Orange.

Through the literacy initiative, children who accompany their parents to a hair or nail appointment are being provided with other options to stimulate their minds other than devices or handheld games.

“I see children, male children, girl children; these barber shops are packed,” says Johnson, a retired special education teacher. “It’s where children spend their weekends.

It takes four hours to get their hair braided. Children accompany their parents to these places. They’re just sitting there with a handheld game.”

Johnson selected beauty, barber and braiding shops and nail salons as recipients of her literacy initiative because “there are hundreds,” she said. “When you start counting beauty and barber shops, it’s almost a commodity to have a

barber and beauty shop in local community.”

The Community Literacy Advocate recipients are selected by accepting a “free” bin of books, says Johnson. In that bin of books are 30 new or gingerly used books and other items. The bin is then placed in a convenient location at the shop where children have access at “arm’s length” or within “direct eye view” to the book bin.

Johnson describes it as “a bin of books and things,” such as trinkets, puzzles, coloring books, crayons. “Whatever we can put in the bin; there’s cards so they can play.

It’s very small; it’s very quaint. They fit it on the counter.”

On every other Wednesday, Johnson returns to the businesses to refresh the assortment.

“I take out old ones and replace with new ones,” she says, providing fresh new reads for the children of the clientele to enjoy.

“They call me the book lady,” Johnson laughs. “Now I can’t stop the books; they look for me. Everyone wants the books.”

The reading audience for these books is kindergarten through eighth grade. She recommends “children’s books of interest, good reading material.” Most are in excellent condition. “They are wonderfully illustrated, well written.”

Johnson began Progressive Educator’s in Jan. 2014 as a vendor of New Jersey Department of Education. Her educational services include English language enrichment classes for adults and children, after school homework help

and home, tutorial and supplementary instruction services offered privately or through contracted NJ school districts in 21 cities in Essex County.

Her idea for the literacy initiative came about when she realized how many books teachers throw out.

“I work in so many school districts,” says Johnson.

“Teachers were cleaning out their classrooms and throwing out so many books; cleaning out classes for summer getting rid of lots of books.” That’s when Johnson decided to grab those books instead of watching them go to waste.

“I got so many books I didn’t know what to do with them,” says Johnson. “I wanted to share them.” She also got books through donations from Child’s Play in South Orange, 200 from the West Orange Library and through a donation drive posted on Facebook.

“I got nice books from the West Orange Library book sale,” says Johnson. “They just fill up the bag.”

After working as a high school teacher in reading and language arts for 22 years, Johnson realizes the importance of reading for enjoyment.

When a student is in kindergarten through elementary, he or she is required to read 30 minutes per day. But “when a child is in a different setting, it brings about joy. Where there are books available outside school buildings, they become more fluent. The pressure is not there. They engage in reading because they like to read.” continued on next page

Progressive Educators... continued from previous page So far, “progressive educators community literacy advocates have fully embraced our literacy initiative and are excited about continued participation through 2017 in helping to spread and encourage literacy in their communities,” says Johnson.

Barber Gary Johnson of Johnson’s Barber states, “Just to witness the expression on the youths’ faces while actually sitting there reading a book instead of playing an electronic hand held game while receiving or waiting for a parent to be served is absolutely delightful and encouraging!”

He says, the program is working, they are reading the books out of the bin.

Progressive Educators LLC plans to recruit throughout 2016-2017 more local barber, beauty, braiding and nail shop owners in Essex County to participate and help to spread and encourage literacy throughout Essex County communities. She hopes to spread to Bloomfield, Montclair and South

Orange.

Her business also supports and creates literacy initiatives for and with community based and non-profit organizations in Georgia, Kenya, St. Thomas Virgin Islands, and Uganda, with tutorial services, school materials and books.

“In essence we collect school supplies and lots of children’s books that are donated to us from people, churches and organizations anywhere and everywhere and share what we have with those who need what we have, with no strings attached.”

Hence her hashtag is “#ReadingBooksMatter” and “#SpreadingLiteracyInTheCommunity.”

To donate children’s books or to become a literacy advocate, call Johnson at 973669-2819.

“If you see the bin know that Progressive Educators have been there,” Johnson concludes.

Team Zoey’s “Miles of Hope” Turkey Trot Raises Money For Progeria Research

T

eam Zoey, an organization named after Verona’s Zoey Penny dedicated to fighting Progeria, announced it will present the sixth annual “Miles of Hope” 5k Turkey Trot at Verona Park on Sat., Nov. 26.

“This is an event that we have come to look forward to every year,” said Laura Penny, Zoey’s mother. “During a time of gratitude, we have so much to be thankful for and appreciate the support we receive.”

The 5K race and one mile “fun run” have become an annual event in Verona to raise money to battle the fatal disease that prematurely ages kids many times faster than normal. Registration for this year’s Turkey Trot beginning at 9:30 a.m. is open to participants for either the 5K or fun run.

Zoey, 7, was diagnosed with the rapid aging disease when she was just 5 ½ months old. Team Zoey, which her father, John Marozzi, formed shortly after Zoey’s diagnosis, is doing what it can to raise awareness and funds for the Progeria Re-

search foundation.

“We are constantly blown away and overwhelmed by the support of the town and friends who have come out the past six years to help us raise money and awareness for progeria,” said Laura Penny. Progeria affects approximately one in 20 million people and there are an estimated 350-400 children living with Progeria worldwide at any one time. Currently, there are no approved treatments to cure or slow down the progression of Progeria.

To learn more about Team Zoey, visit www.teamzoey.com.

The Progeria Research Foundation (PRF) was founded in 1999 in response to the complete lack of progress being made to help children with Progeria. Today, PRF continues to be the only organization in the world solely dedicated to the mission of discovering treatments and the cure for Progeria and its aging-related disorders, including heart disease.

Easy ‘Green’ Thanksgiving Ideas

hanksgiving is a holiday to give thanks and share special moments with family and friends. While the original Thanksgiving might have taken place during a time when food was sparse, nowadays Thanksgiving often involves excessive amounts of food, with more food ending up in the garbage than in celebrants’ bellies.

The United States Department of Agriculture projects that Americans will throw away more than 200 million pounds of edible turkey meat this Thanksgiving holiday.

And Thanksgiving typically ushers in a period of wastefulness, as the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency says American households produce roughly 25 percent more trash between Thanksgiving and New Year’s Day than during the rest of the year.

Reducing waste is a worthy goal year-round, but especially so during the holiday season. And accomplishing that goal can be done without sacrificing holiday traditions.

• Use fine china when serving meals. Thanksgiving provides an opportunity to serve meals on fine china and use the silverware that has gone unused instead of disposable plates and utensils. In addition to adding a touch of elegance to meals, reusable china and silverware is less wasteful than paper plates and plastic utensils. Cloth napkins and other table linens are also more eco-friendly than paper napkins.

• Decorate using natural items. Scour the great outdoors for all-natural centerpiece materials or other items that can be turned into wreaths and garlands. Vases filled with pine cones and acorns make for beautiful, inexpensive and festive decorations.

• Shop locally and organically. When shopping for Thanksgiving dinner, choose local produce, poultry and grains whenever possible. Resist the urge to buy more than you need as well. Skip some of the less-popular dishes that are used only to make the table seem full. Buy a small turkey or think about only serving turkey breasts, which tend to be the most popular cuts of the bird. Use reusable shopping bags to carry items home and reduce waste even further.

• Light candles and reduce energy consumption. During the meal, eat by candlelight and turn off lights in other areas of the home that are not in use. Rather than turning on the television, take the party outdoors and play a game of football on the front lawn.

• Have a local Thanksgiving. Start a new tradition and invite nearby friends and family over for the holiday instead of traveling long distances. According to Use Less Stuff, a resource for eco-conscious men and women, if each family reduced gasoline consumption by one gallon (roughly 20 miles), they could reduce greenhouse gas emissions by one million tons.

• Send home the leftovers. Send each guest home with some leftovers if you have any. This way the refrigerator isn’t left full of items that will end up uneaten. Otherwise, donate uncooked food to a local food bank. Use any scraps of vegetables in a compost pile.

• Don’t let recycling fall by the wayside. Remember to recycle all applicable items. Just because it’s a holiday doesn’t mean recycling habits should be forgotten. Encourage guests to pitch in by clearly marking recycling bins.

Thanksgiving can be less wasteful without detracting from the enjoyment and true meaning of the holiday.

Is Your Charity Effective?

D

onors give to charity throughout the year, but the charity watchdog group Charity Navigator reports that around 40 percent of donors make their annual contributions between Thanksgiving and New Year’s Day. No matter when one gives, the decision to support a charity should never be made lightly. Some people choose to donate to charities that focus on causes that resonate with them. Emotional feelings can drive donation decisions, but it’s important to do some research into the charitable organization to determine how efficiently the charity operates and how effective the organization ultimately is at fulfilling its mission. Look at how much of your money actually goes toward the cause you are supporting, paying attention to how the organization allocates donations. The majority of donation dollars should go to the cause and not toward organizational overhead. Here are some questions to ask before selecting a charity.

• Does the charity address the most serious problems in the most cost-effective ways?

• How much money is devoted to overhead versus program outreach?

• Are the charity’s interventions really working?

• Will this charity help the greatest number of people with your donation?

• Is the organization honest and transparent?

Individuals can make use of resources made available by the Better Business Bureau, Charity Navigator and GiveWell to see if charities meet their criteria.

How To Get Black Friday Deals

s Thanksgiving draws near, retailers begin dropping hints about their Black Friday promotions. Some stores have begun to open their doors on Thanksgiving evening, after many people have filled up on turkey and trimmings.

Smart shoppers recognize that Black Friday is a great time to find deals on holiday gifts, and following these tips can help shoppers save even more.

• Begin researching early. Since many retailers begin posting information online or send out advertisements about sale items far in advance of Black Friday, shoppers should pay attention to each retailer’s offerings so they can better coordinate their shopping efforts. Cross-reference prices against other stores, including both online retailers and traditional brick-and-mortar stores.

• Establish a shopping budget. It’s tempting to go out shopping with credit cards blazing, but that may lead to overspending.

Determine what you can afford and set a budget for Black Friday shopping. Establishing a budget can help you avoid impulse purchases as well.

• Look for extra discounts. The early bird often gets the worm, but late shoppers also may benefit on Black Friday. Determine which times of the day stores are offering

Roofing

their biggest discounts. Doorbuster sales tend to start very early, but such sales might be irrelevant if only items you do not need are being discounted. Determine if there are any additional sales that extend throughout the day.

• Divide and conquer. Split up the shopping responsibilities so you and your family can get your shopping done quickly. The divide and conquer approach allows you to cover more ground and ensures someone will be there to claim the best deals from various retailers.

• Dress comfortably for shopping. Malls and department stores may be crowded and can be warm, so dress in layers so you can remove clothing if you get hot. • Have discount codes at the ready. Many retailers now use digital apps or emails to keep in touch with customers. These same apps may enable smartphone users to search for discount codes and other coupons. Keep digital coupons handy so they can be presented quickly at checkout.

Black Friday is one of the best days of the year to land steep discounts on a variety of merchandise and services. Make the shopping trip even more successful this time around.

How To Make Your Holiday Party Unique

ntertaining season is in full swing, and many people’s social calendars are filled with parties, dinners and family gatherings. For those serving as host or hostess, setting your event apart from others can be challenging but not impossible. Explore these ideas to breathe new life into holiday parties.

• Choose a creative date. The weeks between Thanksgiving and New Year’s Day tend to be the busiest of the holiday season, so think about hosting your event outside of this four-week span. A pre-Thanksgiving party or something in mid-January may be more amenable to busy guests. Parties that fall outside of the usual time period may be a welcome change for guests who are simply stretched too thin during the heart of the holiday season.

• Choose an unusual party time. Cocktail parties are the norm come the holiday season, so switch things up for your soirée.

Host a brunch or luncheon, which figures to be less expensive than cocktail or dinner parties.

• Invite children to the event. For a de-

parture from the more typical adults-only holiday parties, include children in the festivities this year. Seeing the magic of the holidays through the eyes of children can add life to your party, and it can save you and your guests the cost of childcare.

• Create a photo montage. Collect images of your guests from the last year and create a slide show. Guests will likely enjoy reliving the previous 12 months and look forward to making some memories in the year to come.

• Throw a party you would love to attend. Instead of thinking of ways to make your party the best or the most unique for guests, figure out your likes and what makes you comfortable. If you are relaxed and enjoying yourself, there’s a good chance that demeanor will rub off on your guests.

The holiday season is littered with parties, many of which are difficult to distinguish from one another. But party hosts can take several steps to set their shindigs apart from other holiday gatherings.
