Developing Emerging Readers At Mendham Borough Library
By Anastasia Marchese here is an ongoing initiative at the Mendham Borough Library called “1,000 Books Before Kindergarten.” The idea behind the pro-
gram is to get preschoolers to develop an early love of reading by exposing them to many different books and to offer them positive reading experiences. According to the 1,000 Books website “The Foundation is oper-
ated exclusively for charitable, literary, and educational purposes. The objectives of this organization are: to promote reading to newborns, infants, and toddlers and to encourage parent and child bonding through reading.” The research is overwhelming; reading with very young children has lifelong literacy benefits. According to the American Academy of Pediatrics “Reading regularly with young children stimulates optimal patterns of brain development and strengthens parent-child relationships at a critical time in child development, which, in turn, builds language, literacy, and social-emotional skills that last a lifetime.” That is why Amanda Ort, the Head of Youth Services at The Mendham Borough Library, is pleased to offer the “1,000 Books” program at her library. So far there have been about 20 children participants. Children can join at any point.
Each child who signs up will receive a pamphlet with pictures of 25 ducks on it. Each time the child completes a book, they can mark off one of the ducks. After the first 25 books, the child will receive a rubber duckie as a prize. Once they reach 500 books read, the
child will receive a Mendham Borough Library teeshirt with the phrase “If you would like to be a leader, you have to be a reader.” Once the child reaches the 1,000 books goal, they will be invited to the celebration event at which the child will be the recipient of
a golden duck trophy. The recent “1,000 Books” celebration was televised on Mendham Television. Parents and caregivers may be wondering if the child needs to read/hear 1,000 different books. Anyone who has read to chilcontinued on page 4

Run For God Program Gets Family On Track
By Anastasia Marchese n 2013, Dave Hickey presented his church family at Grace Church on the Mount in Netcong with a new ministry, “Run for God.” This twelve week walk/run program follows the book “Devotions: Finding God in a Runners Space” by Mitchell Hollis. “Run for God” is a national ministry which shows the parallels between principles of the Bible and a running in a physical race. When Hickey made his presentation, Steve and Aggie Beede were on stage at the church, leading worship with the praise team. “We looked at each other and without saying anything we knew we needed to do it,” said Aggie. “We were overweight and out of shape. We started from zero, no experience whatsoever. We were feeling guilty, but not doing anything about it.” Steve and Aggie joined the first “Run for God” class that Grace Church organized. “It teaches you how to eat healthy, what kind of shoes you should wear, and how to avoid injury,” says Aggie. “You learn how to stretch, all the basics to be a good runner/walker.” It doesn’t only address physical health though, but focuses on the connections between the physical race that the participants are preparing for and the spiritual race of life- “let us lay aside every weight, and the sin which doth so easily beset us, and let us run with patience the race that is set before us, Looking unto Jesus the author and finisher of our faith,” from Hebrews 12:1-2pp.

“We learn to love God and understand his ways,” says Aggie. “We have a half an hour of bible study.” After the bible study the class goes on to learn something health related, followed by a walk/run. The goal of the first twelve weeks is to complete the Roxbury 5K Run. “It is the graduation race. The program goes slow, so by then you are ready,” Aggie says. Completing their first 5K wasn’t the end for the Beedes, but just the beginning of their journey towards continued health and fitness. In the three years since, “Steve has already run two marathons and I have run three half marathons, and this year I am ready to run the New York Marathon.” Aggie is excited to share the life changing effects this program has had in her family. When asked what kept her and her husband moving forward as runners after they accomplished their first goal, Aggie was enthusiastic, “You see changes in your body and your bad habits. You accomplished a goal. You think, ‘What’s next? Let’s keep going!” Aggie is clear that she doesn’t attribute these life changes to herself alone, “When it is hard, we focus our eyes on God. We say ‘God carry me on.” Another part of the Beedes continued commitment to running and healthy living, has to do with the great friendships that are cultivated through the “Run for God” program. “We make a lot of friends and continue to run together and encourage one another,” she says. “When you go long distance and you are going slowly you get to talk. We make good friends. We make great, great friends.”

Emerging Readers... continued from front page dren will know that children enjoy the comforting repetition of hearing the same book over and over again. “Every book counts, and you can repeat them,” says Ort. “As a child, my favorite book was ‘If you give a Moose a Muffin,’ and I still love it. I remember reading it over and over again.” The duck tally charts can be brought in whenever it is convenient. According to Ort, some parents bring them in on a weekly basis, while others hold on to them over a few months and bring them in at once.
For parents wanting to take part, it is easy to sign up in person at the library. April is the perfect time, because this month the library is taking part in the “Step into a Story” program, in which 27 libraries in Morris County are taking part. Each library is decorating library spaces based on specific books or authors. Mendham Borough turned part of the library into Dr. Seuss land. More information about childhood literacy and tips for reading with children can be found online at www.1000booksbeforekindergarten.org . On the website there is also a large list of suggested books to read with children ages five and under.

The rabbi will examine specific Kabbalistic texts and address how Jewish principles apply to them. “We will talk about how revolutionary Kabbalah in the Middle Ages was in the eyes of rabbinic Judaism, and where it differed from traditional approaches,� he points out. “We will go through portions of Kabbalistic texts, relating them back to the Torah and showing how they are connected and how they seem to vary from the Torah.� In addition, he notes, “We will reveal how Kabbalistic influences created parts of the prayer
I
book that we read weekly. Most readers are unaware of the Kabbalistic influence, origin or intent of these now familiar prayers.� This engaging series will present a new view of Jewish sources and give people lots to think about. A master storyteller, Biller brings a fresh, bright outlook to Judaism's traditional texts and specializes in counseling Jews of all ritual levels looking to find meaning in both modern life and rich Jewish traditions. Preregistration is required. To preregister, email stellahart@optimum.net.
Childhood Insomnia
nsomnia, or trouble falling asleep or staying asleep, is largely thought of as an adult problem. But children can suffer from insomnia as well, and that can prove disruptive for the entire family. Children who do not receive an adequate amount of sleep can feel tired and irritable, and may have difficulty concentrating in school. Many factors can contribute to the onset of childhood insomnia. Kids, just like adults, can suffer from stress, which then manifests itself as worry or an overactive mind at night, says the
Cleveland Clinic. Depression, anxiety, pain, or other medical problems also may be the catalyst for insomnia. While common insomnia medications used in adults are not approved for children, there are steps parents can take. A solid bedtime routine, including consistent bedtimes and wake times, can help combat child insomnia. Try to identify stressors and remedy them as well. In some instances, a pediatrician or therapist may be needed to help a child work through sleep-related issues.

Storage Place And Low Interest Mortgage Needed To Save Shelter
By Cheryl Conway rateful for some monetary and furniture donations in her last call for help, the founder of a battered women’s shelter organization continues her search for a hero to hold the mortgage. Sandra Ramos of Ringwood, a pioneer advocate for battered women who has sheltered and strengthened women and children for more than four decades is reaching out to others to help save the shelter at risk for foreclosure. The founder and director of Strengthen Our Sisters (SOS) is looking for someone to hold the mortgage at a lower interest rate so she can continue to provide housing for 155 women and children in shelters located in New Foundland, Wanaque and West Milford. SOS is a grassroots, community based non-profit, program serving homeless/battered women and children since 1977. “They are working with us,� says Ramos about Rialto Capital Management Advisors in Florida which currently holds the mortgage bridge loan. She says she has six more months to raise $15,000 to avoid a foreclosure. Established in 1977 as Shelter Our Sisters - the first shelter for battered women in North America- the organization changed its name to Strengthen Our Sisters and has since grown to eight houses, two day care centers, a food pantry and a thrift store. The properties’ value a total of $2.5 million, with $580,000 left to be paid. A woman from Chatham recently donated $2,500; others
gave holiday baskets and furniture. “Lots of people donated food and Easter baskets but if they don’t have a place to live where are they going to keep their Easter baskets?� she asks. The same holds true with the furniture donations. About 20 people recently have called offering to donate furniture. Although grateful for all of the donations, Ramos says the next hurdle is trying to find or afford a storage place to hold the furniture. “People called to donate furniture,� says Ramos. “We don’t have room to store the furniture. We need a storage place. People donating beautiful furniture.� Ramos says the furniture “will come in handy for women� when they are able to move into an apartment or a place of their own to live. Through her shelter program, Ramos says “thousands have been saved� during the past 46 years. Many of the women and children her organization helps “don’t have families,� are on section eight, have families or friends “who don’t like them; who don’t want to help them. We have a lot of dysfunctional families. “We are the only shelter who will take people,� says Ramos. “No one else takes these people from social services.� With two hotline numbers, Ramos has made herself available to help others- women who could have been forced to live on the streets facing prostitution, living in cars, some having epilepsy or breathing disorders, she describes.
Ramos started her first shelter in 1970 in her three bedroom home in Hackensack. She had three small children at the time, was facing divorce after ten years of marriage and was in need of a roommate, she explains. One roommate turned into 23 women in her house at one point, she admits. Over the years, in 1977, her initiative became Shelter Our Sisters. The mission of SOS is to break the cycle of domestic violence, poverty and abuse by restoring balance and harmony through individual empowerment. To support her organization, Ramos receives some money from the Passaic County Dept. of Human Services, private donations, counties and social services, “but not enough to keep it going. We have a transportation grant but they took it away. We have five vans; we need help. We’ve been running for three and a half years with a non-paid staff,� down from a paid staff of 55 that were let go when SOS lost funding, she says. Ramos currently has 17 non-paid volunteers who drive the shelter residents to look for jobs, to court, doctor appointments, social services, schools; they fix things, watch children. SOS recently held a tricky tray and dinner fundraiser and in May plans to host a 3K run/walk and later that month, a Mother’s Day fundraising event. For more details about these events and SOS, go to http://www.strengthenoursisters.org/. To make a donation or to help, email scb@optonline.net or call Ramos at 973-831-0898 or 973-831-6156.

local individuals and families who are ALICE -Asset Limited, Income Constrained, Employed- living paycheck to paycheck and struggling to afford the basics. “This is a singular opportunity to meet like-minded women who care about using their influence to change lives and communities for the better,” said council associate director Michele Dreiblatt. Schroff, author of “An Invisible Thread,” was chosen as the keynote speaker, Dreiblatt said, as an example of the positive impact women can have in their communities. The book, which stayed on the New York Times Best Seller List for 39 weeks, tells the true story of how Schroff helped change the course of a young boy’s life. Schroff, who will sign copies of her book at the breakfast, has won numerous awards and shared her inspiring story alongside Archbishop Desmond Tutu, former First Lady Laura Bush and bestselling author Malcolm Gladwell. “Laura Schroff is a model for how women can be a philanthropic force in our state,” Dreiblatt said. “When we join together we have the potential to improve life not only for our most vulnerable families, but for all of
us.” Attendees will also learn about the Council, a 130-member strong United Way philanthropic women’s group. Throughout the year, members are engaged in volunteer, fundraising and advocacy efforts to help the region’s ALICE population attain financial stability. Across the northern New Jersey region, spanning Morris, Somerset, Suburban Essex, Sussex and Warren counties, a total of 27 percent of households qualify as ALICE or in poverty, according to United Way research. Proceeds from the breakfast will go toward three United Way scholarship programs that seek to remove the barriers that keep ALICE and those in poverty from achieving their potential. Through these scholarships, child care educators can access professional development opportunities, families can afford quality child care, and adults can pursue post-secondary education. Tickets for the event are $70. For more information about the event or the Council, visit www.UnitedWayNNJ.org/WLCBreakfast2016, email Michele.Dreiblatt@UnitedWayNNJ.org or call 973-993-1160, x128.

MUA Reaches Record Mark In Discarded Tires, Many Found In Mt. Olive
orris County’s mosquito control crews this winter passed the 60,000 mark in the collection of illegally discarded or abandoned tires, which are found mostly in difficult-to-getto wooded and swampy areas in all sections of the county, creating perfect breeding grounds for millions of mosquitoes that wreak havoc on picnics and baseball games and walks through nature in Morris County each year. That total of 60,346 and counting dates back to 2001 when the tire collection program began, in concert with the Morris County Municipal Utilities Authority, which helps with disposal of piles of tires found each year. “The best offense is a good defense, so crews spent the winter collecting discarded, abandoned tires, which are a favorite breeding ground for mosquitoes,’’ said Kris McMorland, Director of the Morris County Division of Mosquito Control. Tires have been collected at some 1,200 locations in 37 of the county’s 39 towns over the past decade. The most have been found in Rockaway Township, Mt. Olive and Jefferson. “The people who discard tires don’t do any of us humans a favor, though they certainly are the friends of mosquitoes who love those tires,’’ added McMorland. “They provide a great breeding habitat for mosquitoes because they hold water, are nice and dark, plus they heat up pretty well." Mosquitoes can breed by the tens of
thousands in just one illegally discarded tire, McMorland said. “We strongly encourage residents not to illegally discard tires for environmental and aesthetic reasons and, of course, to prevent mosquito infestation,’’ said Freeholder John Cesaro, who is the county governing board’s liaison to the Mosquito Control Division. “Please, do the right thing. Find the proper way to get rid of your old tires,’’ he added. Starting in the late fall and early winter and continuing into March each year, a small team of county mosquito control crews on foot and all-terrain vehicles and trucks head into the backwoods and swamps, wade into rivers, and patrol along roadsides to find and remove discarded tires as a first line of defense against mosquito-borne viruses. “Removing abandoned or illegally dumped tires not only helps reduce mosquito levels and the threat of West Nile virus, but improves environmental quality,’’ said McMorland. County residents should check with their towns to see if tires are accepted at local recycling centers. If not, the MUA accepts old tires on Saturdays only at the Parsippany Transfer Station (Not the Mount Olive transfer station). The cost is $200 per ton or about $2 for each car tire or $8 for a set of four car tires, off the rim. Some towns will accept a limited number of tires for free and others charge, so you should check with your individual town about costs.
To check for rules about using the MUA transfer station please visit: http://www.mcmua.com/sw_ts.asp (and
scroll to the bottom). Residents should call the MUA at 973-285-8389 to get more and accurate information.

recognized and honored for their bravery by the 200 Club, an organization of individuals that support public safety professionals. Firefighters, police and emergency medical providers risked their lives in 11 incidents involving fires, car accidents, gas-filled homes and other emergencies in Morris County towns. First responders who put their lives at risk earn the Valor Award; those who go beyond the call of duty are awarded the Meritorious Award. “We’re very lucky to have individuals like these keeping us safe here in Morris County,” said James M. Gannon, president of the 200 Club, in a press release. “It’s an honor to recognize their good work.” When citizens are in Morris County “running away from crime, these first responders are running toward the fire,” says Gannon during an interview with New View Media Group. “It’s time to put them on a pedal stool and say ‘thanks’ for what they are doing.” Each recipient will be recognized, receive a plaque and a 200 Club Bar to wear below their badge on their uniform, explains Gannon, a member for the past eight years. With 37 different police departments in Morris County, submissions can be numerous. A review committee of the 200 Club meets to determine who is worthy of a valor award or meritorious award. “People selected are the cream of the crop,” says Gannon of Boonton Twp. The Morris County Chief’s Association, Medical Service Alliance and State Police provide candidates to the 200 Club for consideration. The 200 Club of Morris County was formed in 1971 by a group of 19 concerned business and political leaders; the group doubled by the end of the year and today involves more than 1,100 members. The Morris County club was an outgrowth of the Essex County Club, which was the first 200 Club in NJ that began in 1967. Each member pays $200 in annual dues, thus, the 200 designation. The first 200 Club developed in 1952 in response to the fatal shooting of Arthur Meyers, a Detroit, Michigan police officer, according to the club website. Following the shooting, a local businessman, William Packer, asked his friends to donate to a fund in memory of the fallen officer and met with the officer’s widow to support her finances and setup an education account for their unborn child. Since that time, 118 of these clubs have been established in 28 states with additional clubs in Puerto Rico and Central America. There are currently 18, 200 Clubs in NJ. A non-profit, 501c3 organization, the 200 Club of Morris County supports local police officers, fire fighters, first aid squad members, and NJ state police serving Morris County who die in the line of duty. When a public safety official loses their life in the line of duty, the Action Committee of The 200 Club of Morris County reaches out to the widow to offer emotional support and financial assistance in the form of a death benefit to
help manage the financial burden during this difficult time. The current benefit is $30,000. The 200 Club of Morris County also awards an annual benefit to each eligible child of the public safety official in an effort to help ease the financial concerns created by the loss of their loved one, as stated on the website. At present, the annual benefit is $10,000 per child per year until age 18. Should the child continue onto college, the benefit is increased to $15,000 per year until age 23 or graduation. Since its inception in 1971, the 200 Club of Morris County has distributed more than $4.3 million in survivor benefits and scholarships to families. For 2016, the club is nearing $1,100 that will be awarded in college scholarships to high school seniors serving in a branch of public safety or whose a parent is actively serving or retired from a public safety capacity in Morris County. The scholarship committee voted to award 20 scholarships of $5,000 each. The scholarship awards dinner will be May 16 at 6 p.m. at the Zeris Inn. The 200 Club is supported by membership dues and private donations. “Every year that money goes out to help first responders,” says Lou Nisivoccia of Randolph, previous president of the 200 Club. “If we can recruit more members, we can increase the money given to those lost in the line of duty. We’ve been slowly increasing the membership. We need to get the word out.” Last year, Nisivoccia implemented a Power of One program in which each member is encouraged to bring in one new member. A member for 15 years, Nisivoccia and his wife support several charities and with the 200 Club “We are helping our neighbors right here in Morris County. I want to take care of those people who take care of me every single day.” In March, the 200 Club of Morris County started its $15,000 Billboard Campaign for the Move Over law, in an continued on page 16

Gannon Runs For Morris County Sheriff In June Primary
he growing momentum behind Republican Jim Gannon’s campaign for Morris County Sheriff is driven by his unmatched law enforcement and security experience, overwhelming support from Morris conservative and Republican leaders, and a fiscal reform agenda that puts taxpayers first. Before ever considering running for elected office, Gannon of Boonton Twp., enjoyed a 33 year career in law enforcement and global security, starting as a patrolman in Boonton and Boonton Township, followed by tenure as Deputy Chief of Investigations at the Morris County Prosecutor’s Office, the FBI's elite Joint Terrorism Task Force and Morris County¬ based Novartis Pharmaceuticals. During his decorated career, Gannon also served as commander of the FuncoLand Homicide Task Force and the Walter Contreras Homicide Task Force, formed the Morris County Cold Case Unit, co-authored the “Morris County Counter Terrorism Task Force Manual,” and has lectured and trained fellow professionals, and conducted investigations, in places like Russia, Ukraine, South Africa, Hungary, Thailand and Uzbekistan, uniquely preparing him for the day-to-day battle to protect Morris County citizens from terror attacks by radical groups like ISIS. Gannon grew up in large Irish and Polish Catholic family in Boonton Twp. with two brothers and one sister. His passion for law enforcement came from his father, who was NYPD detective. Gannon graduated Boonton High School where he played multiple sports and also was a member of the Boonton Township Fire Service. Gannon earned his associate’s degree in
law enforcement from County College of Morris in 1981 and his bachelor’s degree in criminal justice administration from William Paterson University in 1983.

Thomas Edison – His Hallmark Of Personal Success – A Super Garage
By Michele Guttenberger he hallmark of every successful businessman is to own a family mansion and to have a state of the art garage. Thomas Edison had both. His Glenmont estate home in West Orange that he purchased in 1886 was the decorating and design concept of the former owner Henry C Pedder. However, Edison’s garage was his own innovative design and creation that he built in 1908. Edison oversaw the construction himself because it was an entirely new creation in building construction. Building his private garage helped him to launch his new business venture – a patented technique of constructing mass-produced, poured-cement houses using iron molds. His garage and the original Yankee stadium became the same cement poured by his own Edison Portland Cement company. Since Thomas Edison was in the vehicle battery business, he owned electric cars. And in 1908 his garage included battery charging stations for them. Edison invented the alkaline storage battery in 1901 and spent years
perfecting it for use in automobiles. Edison also had a gasoline filling pump in his garage for his 1922 Model T Ford – a gift from his good friend Henry Ford. The awesome custom feature of Edison’s Garage is the car turntable to help park his vehicles. A hand crank rotated the resting car to a desired parking position. The driver never had to struggle backing the car into a spot, the turntable did the navigating. The garage helped turn Edison into an involved family man too. The garage gave him the liberty to tinker with his sons Theodore and Charles on home built motorized projects. At the age of 10, Charles Edison, future governor of NJ, built with his dad a workable vehicle from a two cycle marine engine and a drive belt. Today the garage houses a 1911 Detroit Electric, a 1914 Detroit Electric, a 1922 Ford Model T, a 1908 Locomobile and a 1936 Brewster. The garage is available for public viewing by reservation. The Glenmont Estate is also part of the National Historic Park in West Orange accessible by visiting the factory Lab visitor center
for the schedule and reservation car and ticket passes. It is located inside the private residential Llewellyn Park community. Visit website for more info https://www.nps.gov/edis/ planyourvisit/basicinfo.htm. Those who are fascinated by this legendary man and his garage can participate in
a fundraiser hosted by the Friends of Thomas Edison National Historic Park – “Your Spring Tune Up Cocktail Party” which is set for Thurs., May 19, at the garage. For further information and to purchase online tickets please visit website http://www.foedison.org/ your-spring-tune-up.html.

Cook Up a Mother’s Day to Remember
other’s Day is a time for wining, dining and celebrating moms everywhere. Make this Mother’s Day one to remember by hosting a special brunch get-together for the special ladies in your life. Although quality time together is the true purpose of the day, you can add some special touches to help create a one-of-a-kind brunch to share old memories while you make new ones. Plan your tablescape. Colorful, fragrant flowers and luxurious linens make your everyday table shine. Use plates in complementing shades and sparkling glassware for an elegant touch. If you have room, add personal touches to the centerpiece, such as mementoes from shared trips or small picture frames with pictures of the two of you through the years. Prepare a sophisticated menu. Give a nod to the importance of the day with dishes that are a step above standard brunch fare. A richly flavored entree such as this Spring Vegetable and Chevre Tart looks elegant but is surprisingly easy to make. For a cohesive spread, remember to give the basics a boost, too, such as a homemade flavored whipped butter. Offer a gift with meaning. To truly elevate the occasion, serve (or gift) your mom with a deliciously meaningful wine, such as Cambria Benchbreak Chardonnay or Pinot Noir from the famed Santa Maria bench in Santa Barbara County. Cambria is a family-owned winery that believes in honoring women

Spring Vegetable and Chevre Tart
Recipe courtesy of Courtney O’Dell of Sweet C’s Designs 1 package (2 sheets) puff pastry 1 cup chevre, divided 1 large beefsteak tomato, thinly sliced
quarter of the egg batter. This will make one of four omelets. When batter starts setting, move hardened parts toward the middle, enabling the rest to get direct heat as well. Use a gentle hand to avoid scrambled eggs. When batter starts to look cooked, add cheese and meat and flip omelet over. The omelet should be slightly golden on fried side and a little runny and soft in the middle. Finally, put omelet on plate and add garnish before serving.

1/2 quart heavy cream 1/2 teaspoon salt (up to 3/4 teaspoon, to taste) In food processor, mix butter until cream turns to consistency of cottage cheese and starts to separate from buttermilk, about 3-5 minutes of constant mixing. Strain butter from buttermilk. Use wooden spoon to knead butter in water (just like dough) to remove all remaining buttermilk. Drain and repeat until water is clear. Remaining whipped butter is ready to serve or for adding flavoring ingredients. 3 tablespoons parsley 4 tablespoons cream Heat oven to 400 F. In large bowl, mix butter, flour, water and salt together. Knead thoroughly to make firm dough. Pack dough in plastic wrap and let rest in refrigerator for 20 minutes.

Abilities Celebrates Autism Awareness Month In April
bilities of Northwest Jersey, Inc., an agency that has assisted individuals with disabilities since 1974, placing more than 600 people into supported employment, is celebrating Autism Splash!, a series of informational and awareness-raising events in April, which is national Autism Awareness Month. Abilities recently introduced ACES (Autism Customized Employment & Services). Abilities ACES team of supports includes Board Certified Behavioral Analysts (BCBA), Registered Behavioral Technicians (RBT), Direct Support Professionals, Employment Specialists, and Occupational Therapists. This team of professionals will assess the individual needs of those with Autism Spectrum Disorder in order to create a customized support plan that will lead to independence, community integration and employment. “Every ACES participant has his or her own customized program, because every autistic person is unique,” said Agency Behavior Analyst Kelly Gansarski. “We often say that if you’ve seen one person with
autism, you’ve seen one person with autism. ACES respects the individuality that each of our participants possess and designs a plan specific to their needs.” Gansarski and fellow Abilities behavior analyst Ileana Aledo plan to host two ACES/autism informational sessions, April 26, from 9 a.m. to noon; and April 28 from 4 p.m.-6 p.m. A March, 2014 Centers for Disease Control (CDC) report stated that one in 68 American children has Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD), and that number has steadily increased in recent years. New Jersey has the highest autism rates in the United States, with one in 45, and one in 28 boys. The national rate marks an increase of 30 percent from the previous one in 88 statistic. This trend indicates a growing need for vocational support services to assist people with ASD in finding suitable vocational opportunities, a responsibility that Abilities’ ACES addresses. For more information about Autism Splash!, ACES or any Abilities program, contact Abilities at (908)689-1118 or by email at info@abilitiesnw.com.

The gardens at Macculloch Hall were planted in 1810 by the first residents, George and Louisa Macculloch (17751858, 1785-1863, respectively), and have been in continuous cultivation for more than 200 years. Cultivars in the historic gardens include the wisteria trellised along the rear porch, which was given to the Macculloch family by Commodore Matthew Perry in 1857; the sassafras tree at the far end of the lawn, believed to be the second oldest and largest sassafras tree in New Jersey; and heirloom roses, with cultivars dated before 1920. One rose, known only as the “Old Macculloch Hall Rose,” likely dates to the earliest part of the gardens’ history. Today, the landscaped grounds are planted for seasonal bloom: daffodils, tulips, and other bulbs welcome spring, followed by the historic wisteria in May, roses in June, dahlias in August, and a selection of perennials throughout the summer and fall. The grounds also feature a large kitchen garden, comprising four beds, which serves as an outdoor classroom. Planted with herbs and tomatoes, this garden is a fitting tribute to George Macculloch, who is believed to have grown the first tomato recorded in NJ in 1829. MHHM preserves the history of the Macculloch-Miller
