MCHS To Use Gift Shop Proceeds To Restore Rare Collections’ Pieces

his holiday season support local artisans and preserve history. During the Morris County Historical Society’s annual Christmas celebration, proceeds from the Oak Leaf Gallery Gift Shop’s sales will be used to fund the restoration of two damaged 19th century marble and cloisonné candlesticks frequently displayed at Acorn Hall. These candlesticks, along with a magnificent clock, epitomize the opulence of the Victorian era decorative arts and, due to their rarity and value, are unlikely to be seen elsewhere.

“This set is so impressive and such a wonderful part of our collection. We have nothing else like it in the collection,” said

Amy Curry, MCHS executive director.

The Oak Leaf Gallery Gift Shop features hand-crafted items by Morris County artisans, books on Morris County and local history, sterling silver jewelry, locally sourced honey products, children’s items, as well as custom-made mugs, Christmas ornaments, and gifts for all ages.

The Oak Leaf Gallery Gift Shop is in Acorn Hall in Morristown. The gift shop is open Mon.- Fri., 10 a.m. to 4 p.m., Sun., 1 p.m. to 4 p.m.; and by appointment.. For more information, call the Morris County Historical Society at 973-267-3465, or email MCHSAcornHall@gmail.com.

Continue To Brighten The Future By Sharing Positive Stories In 2017

By Cheryl Conway

ith Thanksgiving behind us and winter holidays ushering in, this time of year is filled with more and more people giving to charities, hosting dinners and reaching out to those struggling or needing some help to get by.

These are the type of stories that New View Media Group welcomes as good news and kindness tend to spread and creates a chain reaction that may encourage others to pitch in by donating some time, money or items that they do not need or use.

New View Media Group, it’s that new view on news that tends to steer away from anything controversial and negative, such as the recent political debates and election.

The recent election, as contentious as it was, remains uneasy for many who question the next leadership; and if the other candidate would have won, that same uneasiness would have still been present.

As readers look at the past year, and then forward to what lies ahead, we must not forget the importance of sticking to core values, good ethics and morals, and proper etiquette which can range from being kind to others; having respect for all people; being honest and giving to those who may be struggling.

Throughout the year, the local community has been an outreach in so many ways to help others both near and far.

Readers of the “Livingston News” were inundated with so many positive stories. A ‘book lady’ in Essex County delivers free books to nail salons and beauty shops to encourage reading among children; Livingston realtor raises awareness on blood stem research with huge billboard; local resident organizes effort to provide more pickleball courts in town; Livingston Library hosts therapy dogs to build confidence in new readers; children shop cost free at NCJW/Essex Back 2 School Store;

Bike Livingston rolls into town to raise awareness about blood diseases and bone marrow drives; local synagogue collects baby items; local YMCA hosts festival to promote diversity; Jewish Family Service of MetroWest bring in volunteers to listen to children at Livingston schools; Collins Elementary in Livingston hosts kindness walk to support a healthy garden project.

The list of amazing stories that detail all of the wonderful actions prompted by the local community go on and on. For 2017, let’s continue to share in all of the good that surrounds us, big or small, near or far.

Send your press releases and story ideas to me at editor@newviewmg.com. Happy holidays to all readers and a bright, healthy New Year.

With Winter Settling, Tips Prepare For Any Storm

I

By Henry M. Holden n recent years, some of the most damaging storms strike long before the first day of winter. Think Hurricane Sandy in October 2012. And the crippling snowstorms in the waning days of winter such as March 12-14, 1993 when a Category five snowstorm which was dubbed the “Storm of the Century. Snow blanketed more than half of New Jersey, with 20 to 30 inches in the far northern sections of the state. The National Weather Service reported the January 2016 blizzard dumped 33 inches in Morris Plains.

Whether it’s a snowstorm or a hurricane, being prepared to deal with the storm safely both before, during and its aftermath is strongly suggested.

While the kids may love having a day or more off from school, for adults winter weather means a sometimes-chaotic commute to or from work, or the stress of preparing for the storm.

The Morris County Office of Emergency Management (OEM) has put together a preparedness list of winter weather tips.

Before the storm hits, prepare the home.

Create a checklist. Include flashlights,

fresh batteries, a first aid kit, enough prescription medications to last a week, food that doesn’t need heating, a battery-operated radio, and cellphones with extra chargers. In addition to medication, have a supply of one gallon of water, per person, for a maximum of three days. Don’t forget the four-legged family members. Make sure they have four or five days of food and water.

OEM Director Jeff Paul said when temperatures go below freezing, 32 degrees, snow and ice are a real possibility. One of the most important things to do especially for the elderly and those with health issues is to stay inside. This includes pets.

Paul says to avoid charcoal-burning devices, kerosene and other space heaters.

These devices produce carbon monoxide, a silent killer that can happen without any obvious symptoms. For those using these heaters, make sure to have carbon monoxide alarms installed in the home; one near the furnace, one near the bedrooms and one in the rooms with a space heater. Replace the batteries in them at least once a year.

Pick the same day every year, say Halloween.

Stay warm by wearing layers of loose-fitting, lightweight, warm clothes. If a power outage lasts overnight or into the later hours, use extra blankets and close all doors to seal the heat into one area of the home.

Prevent freezing pipes.

Freezing temperatures can cause major issues to the pipes in a home. Keep cabinet doors open to allow heat to get to uninsulated pipes under sinks and appliances on continued on next page

Prepare For Any Storm... continued from previous page exterior walls. Everyone in the household should know how to shut off the water valves; if a pipe does burst, this could save a lot of money in the long run.

Any outside faucets should have an inside drain function to drain the water from the pipe. If not, buy a faucet bonnet which will cover the faucet and insulate it.

Prepare the vehicle.

Having a prepared vehicle for the winter months is as important as home preparation. In the event of becoming stuck in a blizzard or white out conditions, or stranded on a back road, there are things that can be done. Pack a bag to keep in the trunk with warm clothes.

In addition to clothes, keep the gas tank as close to full as possible, will keep the fuel line from freezing. If stranded and must sit out the storm, carry two empty coffee cans, several candles, and a blanket.

The lighted candles placed in the coffee cans will keep the inside air temperature just above freezing. Wrap up in a blanket and stay with the vehicle. One could easily get disoriented in the storm and wind up freezing to death. There will be road crews

out even before the snows stop.

Paul’s team also suggests taking the car for a full inspection. For example, have the tires checked. If tire treads are slowly wearing away, paying the price for new tires will be better than replacing a vehicle after an accident. Common replacements before winter should include windshield wipers, oil, fluids and air filters.

Keep a shovel, snow melt and an ice scraper in the vehicle as ice can be unpredictable. Keep a bag of kitty litter in the trunk for traction; sprinkling it underneath the tires can make them stop spinning.

Blackouts and brownouts.

Partial or full power outages during major storm events are expected.

“Keep cash on hand,” said Paul, “because banks and ATM machines depend on electricity to serve their purpose.”

Avoid opening the refrigerator or freezer as much as possible. Make sure to have an emergency power supply for anyone who needs power for medical equipment.

Preparing a home and vehicle for the coming winter will not keep the snow away, but it will make a much safer winter.

Tradition A Major Component Of Chanukah Celebrations

T

radition is a major component of the Jewish faith, so it’s no surprise that tradition plays such a central role during the celebration of Chanukah.

Although some are quick to note Chanukah is not one of the major Jewish holidays, Chanukah is celebrated in a very public fashion. Chanukah celebrants make the holiday more high profile by displaying their menorahs in prominent locations and participating in holiday meals.

Like other Jewish holidays, Chanukah is shrouded in tradition. Chanukah means “dedication” or “induction” in Hebrew. The holiday begins on the 25th of Kislev and can occur in either November or December. Also known as the Festival of Lights, Chanukah includes menorah displays, traditional foods and games and songs.

Chanukah rose to prominence thanks in part to the story of faith and miracle behind its inception. Antiochus IV was a Greek sovereign in control of the region of Syria,

Egypt and Palestine, where many Jews resided. Antiochus began to oppress the Jews, prohibiting the practice of the Jewish religion and desecrating the Jewish Temple.

Opposition to Antiochus grew, and a group led by Mattathias the Hasmonean and his son, Judah Maccabee, took on the Syrian army. They were successful in their efforts to combat religious oppression, and the Temple was subsequently rededicated. The Talmud states that, at the time of the rededication, there was very little oil left that had not

been defiled by the Greeks. This posed a problem because oil was needed to burn the Temple menorah throughout the night every night. However, there was only enough left for one night’s illumination. Miraculously, that oil burned for eight nights, leading to the development of an eight-day festival to commemorate this miracle.

Because Chanukah is about the miracle of the oil and the lasting flame, oil and candles factor heavily in the holiday. A nine-armed menorah called the hanukiah is lit, and one

candle is lit on each of the eight nights of the celebration. The last branch of the candelabra holds the shamash (servant) candle. The organization Reform Judaism says the traditional song “Ma’oz Tzur (Rock of Ages)” is sung after the lighting of the candles each night and at other times throughout the holiday. Foods fried in oil, including latkes and jelly doughnuts, are consumed as well.

Celebrants play games with a dreidel, a German-based spinning top, and giving to charity is encouraged. Chanukah is one of the few times of the year when rabbis permit games of chance. The letters atop the dreidel stand for the first letter of each word in the Hebrew statement “Neis gadol hayah sham,” which translates to “A great miracle happened there,” and refers to the defeat of the Syrian army and the rededication of the Temple.

Creative Ways To Celebrate Chanukah

M

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 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 NORTHFIELD Rx COUPON

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 celebrating 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.

Tips To Prolong The Life Of Your Christmas Tree

hristmas trees are symbols of the holiday season and the spirit of giving that the season champions.

Choosing and decorating a Christmas tree is a tradition for many families, and depending on the trees they choose, families may have some work to do to keep their trees glowing all season long.

Artificial Christmas trees require little, if any, maintenance. But live Christmas trees, which some people feel are more authentic and welcoming than their artificial counterparts, require daily maintenance. In addition to supplying the tree with water at least once per day, live Christmas tree owners can take these steps to prolong the life of their trees.

• Protect the tree on the way home. Your tree might be vulnerable to damage as you transport it from the farm to your living room. Unwrapped trees placed atop vehicles can be dried out by the wind. Prevent wind damage by wrapping the tree if you plan to place it atop your vehicle.

If possible, lay the tree in the bed of a pickup truck and close the cover over the bed. If you don’t have access to a pickup truck but can use a minivan or SUV to transport your tree, see if the tree fits inside your vehicle. If it doesn’t, wrap it tightly in a blanket or another form of cover, making sure the cover won’t blow off in the wind when you hit the open road.

• Have the tree cut before you take it off the lot. If you

typically purchase your tree from a florist or tree lot instead of a tree farm, then remember to ask the seller to recut the stem of the tree before you take it home. Tree farm trees are freshly cut, but trees sold away from the farm might have been chopped down weeks before they are ultimately sold. During the interval between being cut down and sold, trees’ vascular systems can clog and prevent the tree from getting the water it needs to survive the season.

A fresh cut of the stem unclogs the system and ensures the tree will be able to consume water.

• Avoid placing the tree near heaters or drafty windows.

Many people know that placing a live tree near a potentially hot heating vent poses a fire hazard. But doing so also can dry out the tree, decreasing the chances it will make it through the season. Placing the tree near drafty windows also can dry out the tree, so try to find a spot in your home with a consistent temperature.

• Water the tree often. Christmas trees need lots of water to make it through the season. You may notice the water in the tree stand disappears quickly when you first bring the tree home. That’s because freshly cut trees will consume more water than trees that were cut several weeks ago. As the season goes on and the tree’s vascular system begins to clog, you might not need to water the tree as much as you did when you first brought it home. But check the tree’s water stand twice per day when you first bring it home,

refilling the stand with water whenever necessary.

A few tricks of the trade can help holiday celebrants maintain lush, awe-inspiring Christmas trees throughout the holiday season.

Learn About Product Recalls For Safe Holiday Giving

hopping for the perfect gift and then hiding it under the tree adds to the excitement of the holiday season. Knowing the recipient will display a big smile when tearing away the wrapping paper makes gift givers feel good.

Each year, certain gifts emerge as trendy crowd favorites. However, no matter how coveted a gift may be, it pays to investigate its reputation for safety and to find out if any product recalls have been instituted.

The hoverboard craze of the 2015 holiday season provided a recent example of the need to investigate an item’s reputation for safety. Thousands upon thousands of these devices flew off of the shelves. Children across the country took their hoverboards for test runs early Christmas morning. Yet many hoverboards soon ignited while charging or in operation. Some even ignited while sitting idle. As of July 2016, the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission indicated at least 60 reports of hoverboard fires totaling more than $2 million in property damage.

Similar problems arose with certain Samsung Galaxy Note 7 phones in late 2016. The phone was recalled officially in the United States through Samsung, and the company launched exchange programs in other countries. Even replacement models continued to have problems, as some

caught on fire in early October. Samsung ultimately told Note 7 owners to stop using the phones and return them before permanently discontinuing the product. Shortly thereafter, the U.S. CPSC officially issued a second recall.

Those are just two instances of how products that might have made great holiday gifts posed safety issues. Consumers should learn how they can protect themselves and others from injury, even when giving holiday gifts. Searching for product recalls is one way to safeguard loved ones this holiday season. Reading product reviews from previous customers is another effective safety measure.

A recall is an action taken by a manufacturer or the government. Some recalls will ban the sale of an item, while others require the consumer to return the item for repair or replacement. The U.S. government recommends visiting these websites to find the latest safety recalls and information on items that may turn up on holiday wish lists.

• Recalls.com posts government-initiated recalls from federal agencies.

• Safercar.gov offers safety information on vehicles and car equipment, such as children’s safety seats.

• SaferProducts.gov enables consumers to report incidents and safety concerns with regard to consumer products.

• Cpsc.gov/Recalls/ includes recalls published by the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission.

• HealthyCanadians.gc.ca/recall-alert-rappel-avis/index-eng.php publishes recent recalls and alerts for Canada.

The holidays should be a safe and happy time. To ensure the season stays safe and happy, consumers should familiarize themselves with any product recalls or published safety hazards prior to shopping for gifts.

part of our 10th Anniversary show.”

The talent show will showcase the best amateur talent from Morristown, Morris Plains and Morris Township. The event is set to be held on March 1, 2017, 7 p.m. at the Mayo Performing Arts Center in Morristown.

There will be a $1,000 cash prize for first place for contestants ages 19 and over, $1,000 cash prize for first place for contestants ages 18 and under, a $500 award for the “Audience Choice” Winner which will be voted on the night of the show, and a $250 Rossoff Rising Star Award given to a promising contestant by the Morristown ONSTAGE Committee.

This year’s Master of Ceremonies and host of the show will be Morristown-resident Tara Bernie, Emmy-nominated senior producer for NBC’s Access Hollywood and Access Hollywood LIVE. “The Morris Educational Foundation is very excited about the 10th anniversary production of our talent show, Morristown

ONSTAGE,” said Servais. “We are proud to give our community’s local amateur talent an opportunity to perform in front of their hometown in a beautiful professional performing arts venue.”

Atlantic Health System’s Morristown Medical Center is the event’s headline sponsor. Last year, the event raised $90,000 for the Morris Educational Foundation.

Celebrating Midnight Mass

any families have their own unique holiday traditions, but one tradition that unites millions of Christians all over the world is the celebration of Midnight Mass. In many parishes, Midnight Mass is the first celebration of Christmas Mass. The origins of Midnight Mass are not exactly known. However, certain monks and nuns attended liturgical services at midnight every day in ancient

times, and the Christmas Midnight Mass very well may have been adopted from these practices. Regardless of the basis behind the celebration, it can be a breathtaking and emotional service thanks to the memorable passages read and the inclusion of church choirs.

Many Midnight Mass celebrants feel the Mass serves as an impressive reminder as to the true meaning of Christmas.

reparing meals at home remains the least expensive way to eat. The budgeting resource Cheapism.com compared the costs of a classic chicken dinner — accounting for variables such as tip, food waste and family size — made at home and at a restaurant. The comparison determined that a home-cooked meal costs

as much as 60 percent less than a dinner out. A simple chicken dinner for one costs between $6 and $8 at home, takeout costs more than $13 and dining out costs more than $15. The rates of savings are similar when accounting for paying for a family of four.

WHAT’S NEW IN DENTISTRY Recently, the Food and Drug Administration approved a new dental material called silver diamine fluoride, which has been used for decades in Japan.

This new material can arrest large tooth decay after removing the decay with a hand instrument. While it is not a permanent solution to treating cavities, it has a wide variety of applications. For instance, it is good for treating cavities in small children. If a three-year-old child has many large cavities in his or her baby teeth but is fearful of the dentist, this new material is a viable option for treatment. The dentist can simply remove the decay with a hand instrument, dry the affected tooth and apply this material. After this, the dentist can go back and restore the teeth one by one at a later date, when the child is more readily able to handle the procedure.

The application diamine fluoride can also help those with delayed dental insurance coverage. Sometimes, a patient has a tooth awaiting treatment. His or her dental insurance will not cover the procedures until months later when it becomes effective.

This patient can have the material applied as a temporary solution until insurance can cover the procedures to properly treat the tooth. Due to the simplicity of the applica-

tion of silver diamine fluoride and the economical nature of this type of treatment, the patient can meet a budget.

Other applications include geriatric care. Many senior patients have a limited budget, yet have many large root cavities due to various medical conditions. Silver diamine fluoride can economically arrest multiple cavities after one procedure. It provides a valuable and cost-effective alternative.

As always, my office stays at the forefront of dental technology and material science.

Our mission is to serve the community at large the best we can.

Donations Needed To Support Veteran’s Outreach Initiative At Centenary University

I

n conjunction with the Student Veteran’s Organization (SVO) and the student-based Psychology and Lions Clubs, the Office of Veteran Services at Centenary University is taking part in a Veteran’s Outreach initiative for the Fall 2016 semester. The collaboration effort will include a donations drive to benefit veterans at the VA Hospital, Lyons.

The Veteran’s Outreach project will be accepting donations of the following from now until Dec. 15: new men and women’s slipper socks, new crossword/word search/ Sudoku books, boxed K-cup coffee pods and 2017 wall calendars.

“We have planned this activity with the hope that the Centenary community will unite to honor, support, and remember the veterans in our lives,” says Margie Pavlichko, director of Veterans Services at the University.

The Office of Veteran Services at Centenary University provides valuable services and resources to student veterans, veteran dependents, active military, and re-

Fully Insured Free Estimates

servists in the Centenary community. The office is dedicated to assisting veterans in navigating internal and external systems, obtaining educational goals, developing initiatives, and helping to facilitate a seamless transition to the academic arena and successful integration to the campus community. In honor of Veteran’s Day on Nov. 11, the Office of Veteran Services saw it fitting to engage the Centenary community in various activities to honor those who have served or currently serve.

Contact Margie Pavlichko at (908) 8521500, ext. 2318 or e-mail pavlichkom@ centenaryuniversity.edu to make arrangements to drop off donations. In addition, donations can be left with the Centenary Stage Company’s box office at the David and Carol Lackland Center in Hackettstown. Drop off boxes will also be left outside of the Sitnik and Black Box theaters when performances are in session.

In addition to the donation drive, “The Honor Tree” made its fourth annual in the David and Carol Lackland Center to rec-

ognize the valor, courage and sacrifice of those who served or are currently serving.

The tree stood outside of the cafeteria from Nov. 7 through Nov.11, and is permanently displayed in the Veteran’s Resource Center on the third floor of the Ferry Building.

The Honor Tree is decorated with more than 300 stars that are placed on the tree by students, staff, faculty, administrators, and community visitors. This special tree is available year-round to hang a color-coded star in support of our troops and to honor family, friends, colleagues, alumni, and those in the greater Centenary community who have served.

Another way the Office of Veteran Services invited the Centenary community to honor our country’s veterans is through a project called The Gratitude Journal, which was also available outside the cafeteria from Nov. 7 to Nov. 11 for the campus community to write a message of thanks to Centenary student veterans and service men and women around the world.
