Synagogue’s Gallery Heals Community Through Art The event raised approximately $2,000 for the organization, and some artists offered to donate 100 percent of their sales to the cause. Rachelle Simon, a co-curator for the show, said the opening reception on February 5 was a success. “We welcomed our featured artists, friends, family, community and temple members. It was an afternoon filled not only with viewing beautiful artwork but also an opportunity to hear from Jersey Battered Women’s Services, about their work and how com-

munity support helps their ongoing work for those affected by domestic abuse.” Simon said the submissions were considered with an open mind, and that they selected local artists by reaching out to various local artists’ organizations and artists who have previously shown at the gallery. “We choose all work based on committee,” she said. “There are many efforts to address the differences that can separate us; this exhibit focuses on how reaching out through the arts can heal those in our community hurt by domestic abuse,” she said. Cathleen McCoy Bristol, an artist for the exhibit, said on Facebook that her painting “Dignity” is one of four paintings of her Breast Cancer Awareness series. “[It] was done in tribute to my sister, Ann McCoy Reevers Fox, who died 19 years ago.

Morristown Gets Greener After Winning Grant

By Jason Cohen orristown is about to get greener. Recently, the township was the recipient of a $20,000 grant from TD Bank and the Arbor Day Foundation for supporting innovation in urban forestry. In February, Morristown and the Morristown Shade Tree Commission found out they were receiving the grant and on March 20, it was announced a winner of TD Green Streets. The money will fund various projects, including planting 80 to 85 shrubs and 22 trees at the new STEM building at Morristown High School. “No matter what is happening with the federal government, I have

a mayor that supports the Shade Tree Commission” said Kristin Ace, the chair for the Shade Tree Commission. “I can’t let what’s happening stop me from being positive and helping my earth.” The Shade Tree Commission, which was created four years ago, is responsible for the regulation, planting and care of trees and shrubbery in Morristown. According to its website, “TD Green Streets supports innovative practices in community forestry. Through the program, municipalities are eligible to receive one of ten $20,000 grants in support of local forestry projects in low- to moderate-income neighborhoods.”

In order to be eligible, the town or municipality must be an Arbor Day Foundation Tree City USA community and Morristown has been one the past three years. Ace, who has been a member of the organization since its inception, said she joined because she feels very strongly about the environment. “I love the earth and I have been in this town for 16 years,” she commented. “I wanted to do something for my town.” She said the commission knew about the grant in 2015, but because it was still new, it waited until 2016 to apply. Ace explained that because Morristown is a low-income area it matched the criteria

for the grant. The grant also required the township to partner with someone and it selected the high school. Therefore, over the summer Ace met with the staff at the school about the project. “I think they felt it was really an exciting opportunity,” Ace remarked. “They’ve been very happy and it’s been a delight to work with them.” Throughout the school year, the students have been raising awareness about the project. The teens created a brochure explaining why trees are important, announcing the grant, saying how to plant a tree, how to take care of a tree, what trees bring to the community and how to mulch a tree. On April 22, there will

be an unveiling of the garden. The event will also feature the high school’s STEM academy students, the Morristown Shade Tree Commission and town arborist Richard Wolowicz. According to Ace, the only issue was how to best get water into the garden. She explained that she recently met with the administration at the high school and representatives from

TD Green Street and they are in the process of creating a solution. Looking ahead to next year, Ace plans to meet with the township and see if they want to apply for the grant again. Ultimately, she is looking forward to April 22 and feels this project will improve the township. “I am very excited. I’m looking to have a big turnout,” she said.

Synagogue’s Gallery... continued from front page by a grant from Bill Blatt in memory of his wife, Linda. At the naming ceremony, Rabbi Donald Rossoff said, “Within these walls, may we and generations to come be welcomed and embraced by the warmth of Linda’s beautiful spirit.

Reflective of Linda’s life, her work, and her love of art and artists, may this gallery serve the temple, the Jewish Community and the community at large as a place where art in its various forms can touch the soul.”

Woman’s Club Of Morristown Plants Pinwheels For Children

pril is National Child Abuse Prevention Month. To raise awareness of this cause, the Woman’s Club of Morristown planted three blue “pinwheel gardens” around Morristown on April 1. The gardens, to remain in place throughout April, will be in the pocket park at the corner of Schuyler and Washington streets, at Town Hall and in front of the WCM’s own clubhouse at 51 South Street. The New Jersey State Federa-

tion of Women’s Clubs of GFWC, to which the WCM belongs, selected Prevent Child Abuse New Jersey as its Special State Project for 2016-2018. Prevent Child Abuse-New Jersey, a chapter of Prevent Child Abuse America, is the only statewide non-profit dedicated to preventing child abuse and neglect, in all forms, for all New Jersey children. The members of the WCM donated $550 to purchase 550 pinwheels to be distributed in the three gardens. In 2008, Prevent Child

Abuse America introduced the pinwheel as its national symbol for child abuse prevention through Pinwheels for Prevention. Research showed that people respond positively to the pinwheel. It has come to serve as a symbol for the great childhoods all children deserve. The members of the Woman’s Club of Morristown are dedicated to serving their community through civic, cultural, and educational projects. More information is available at http://www.wcomt.org/.

Generosity Is A Gift That Keeps On Giving With Irish American Association

By Dawn M Chiossi veryone is Irish on St. Patrick’s Day, so the saying goes. But it is actually quite true. According to Census Data 39.6 million Americans claim Irish heritage. In this area of New Jersey especially, many people have some sort of Irish ancestry in their blood and background. Two things automatically spring to mind when considering the Irish: generosity and luck. “The Luck of The Irish” is a common enough phrase, that is heard often, especially with St. Patrick’s Day recently celebrated. But what does being lucky really mean? Perhaps visions of leprechauns or four leaf clovers come to mind. Or perhaps just extremely lucky people winning in a casino. Or those who avert disasters. But there is another definition of lucky, and it includes spreading it around, giving back to others. The folks from The Irish American Association of Northwest New Jersey (IAANWNJ) surely agree. An organization dedi-

cated to promote and preserve Irish culture, the IAANWNJ was delighted to award $20,000 to various wonderful charities and groups. They had the ceremony at a March meeting after the annual St. Patrick’s Day Parade in Morristown. The IAANWNJ runs the parade in conjunction with the Friendly Sons of St. Patrick organization. The Morristown Parade is a not-to-be-missed event, and is fully self-funded. It is funded entirely by generous donations from corporate and individual sponsors. This is a free fun filled day for all. After the enjoyment of the parade, and after the expenses of it have been paid off, the organization turned their attention to giving. Awarding donations is an event they have done for several years. According to Theresa Davis, president of the Irish American Association of Northwest New Jersey, she credits that to parade supporters. “Thanks to their generosity,” she beams, “Both the IAANWNJ and the Friendly Sons have been able to make

ATTENTION BUSINESS OWNERS

charitable donations an annual event.” Davis became interested in the organization because of her own Irish American Heritage (like most of the members). “I had a strong interest in pursuing the cultural links of that heritage,” she says. When asked how she became involved with altruism and giving to charities, Davis points to the IAANWNJ itself. “Being a strong part of community life has been the cornerstone of the St. Patrick’s Day Parade and the organization,” she says. “Community giving is actually part of the paradeby-laws.” The Donation Awards was attended by many, with cars crowding the parking lot. All eager to see the awards given out. Approximately 75 people attended this year. Davis was excited with the turnout stating, “What a thrill it was to be able to help and see how appreciative they were. They are doing such great work. It’s so nice to give back to them.” Donations were awarded

Irish American Association... continued from page 8 Street Mission, Daytop of New Jersey, People Health, Samaritan Inn, and The Family Promise of Sussex and Dress for Success. The folks from the Dress for Success organization were thrilled with the $500 donation, and so thankful. Dress for Success is an organization that empowers women in tough times to get back to work, helping them with clothing and career services, as well as much more. “It was wonderful,” Executive Director Mary Jean Barnes says. “We have received donations for the past two years from the Irish American Association of Northwest New Jersey. We are not government funded,” she asserts, “so

the money is extremely helpful.” During the meeting, creativity was recognized and awarded as well. Several Irish cultural organizations also received donations for their inspiration and hard work. These include: Catskills Irish Arts Week, Daltai Na Gaeilge, Irish Reparatory Theater and WFUV. And not to be outdone, perhaps the most fitting demonstration of generosity was the awards given for youth scholarships, all to help with their future. These scholarships acknowledge and encourage students of local Irish Dance Schools. Seven students were rewarded for their sweat and determination. Including Aylia Ma-

hon, An Clar School of Irish Dance; Emma Cingari, Club Rince the Irish Dance Club; Tara Malone, DeNogla Ardmore Academy; Erin Nangle, Heritage Irish Dance Company; Mairead Herzog, Lenahan School of Irish Dance; Ellyn Cervona, Slattery School of Irish Dance; and Kayleigh Simpson of Wick-Hegarty School of Irish Dance. When asked about if anything special about the event sticks out in her mind, Davis is quick to mention the dancers. “I think the shining moment for everyone,” she enthuses, “was when the seven dance students from different dance schools treated the audience to a Reel done in unison.” Amazing considering they had had “only

10 minutes of practice before hand,” she answers proudly. In looking forward to the future of the IAANWNJ, Davis hopes to “keep the organization growing. To invest in the Irish culture of our community.” The Irish American Association of North West New Jersey was founded in 1974, when it was realized

how many people of Irish descent have lived in, and relocated to this area. The main goal of the organization is to promote and preserve Irish Culture. In addition to the St. Patrick’s Day Parade and meetings, The IAANWNJ hosts a variety of great Irish themed activities such as classes in Irish Step Dancing, Irish Music and

Language and Adult Celi Dancing. Don’t miss the great annual festival/Feis in September. Want to learn more? Contact the Irish American Association of North West New Jersey at 973-3665980 today. In Davis’s words “all that’s needed is of a love of all things Irish.”

April Begins Garage Story Sunday Talks At Thomas Edison’s Glenmont Estate

by Michele Guttenberger pecial ranger-led talks of Thomas Edison’s Glenmont garage begin every Sunday, every two weeks, through June 25. If wondering if Thomas Edison saw the future in electric cars, questions will be quickly answered with a visit to this famous West Orange inventor’s personal garage. Many Tesla car aficionados make the pilgrimage to the first electric charging station garage. Al’s Garage, his childhood nickname, is the steampunk time capsule of the electric car’s future for American suburban living. It is story telling of interesting developments conceived in this garage that journeys from car bat-

teries to Edison’s poured concrete dream homes. Like many successful businessmen, Edison’s own domestic domain was his garage. He built it in 1908. It was a fixture that he designed and he oversaw the construction himself. Edison’s garage was his own unique creation, because it was the prototype for his new cement construction venture. This home project helped him master the technique of constructing mass-produced, poured-cement houses using iron molds. His garage and the original Yankee stadium came from the same cement poured by his own Edison Portland Cement. Today’s news is about battery operated cars and

providing a charging station for them. Edison already had this technology over some 100 years ago, in his own garage. He owned electric cars that used Edison batteries. Edison invented the alkaline storage battery in 1901 and spent years perfecting it for use in automobiles. The garage was the place to service these cars. 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 most interesting feature of Edison’s garage is the turntable to help park these vehicles. A car could rest on the concrete turntable and a hand crank rotated it to a desired parking

position. The driver never had to struggle backing the car into a spot, the turntable did the navigating. Few residential garages today can boast having this feature. Spend a Sunday afternoon from 1 p.m. to 2 p.m.,

or 3 p.m. to 4 p.m. learning about Thomas Edison’s poured concrete garage. There is no additional cost to visit the garage apart from the regular NPS entrance fee. To view the awesome collection of Edison’s electric and gas powered

cars a Car Pass is required. They are obtained at the Edison Factory Lab visiting center in West Orange. Visit website for more calendar info at http://www. nps.gov/edis/index.htm or call 973-736-0550 x11 for visiting information.

Luck O’ The Farm At Fosterfields Living Historical Farm

household chores and enjoy traditional Irish music performed live by Linda Russell. Mark Sutherland, manager of Historic Sites, stated “At Luck O’ the Farm, visitors will meet re-enactors who are playing the roles of actual Irish immigrants who worked at Fosterfields. ‘Mrs. Cahill,’ the farmer’s wife, and ‘Andrew Gibbons,’ the coachman will be sharing their stories and welcoming questions about their journey to America and employment at the Farm.”.

Hi Tony, I stopped by today after work and everything looks just beautiful. I love it. The master bath is perfect now and all the closets and doors look so good. I can't wait to move my stuff in! I’ll be at work tomorrow afternoon starting at about 3:30pm until at least 7pm so I can give you the check for balance then if you can come by. See you then. Stefanie, Bridgewater, NJ The Painting Company did a wonderful job on our house! Tony was prompt when we first met him for the initial estimate. He returned the estimate with a breakdown on what everything would cost. The price was competitive and reasonable. He started the job sooner than expected and his crew was amazing. They finished sooner than planned and cleaned up leaving the place looking like new. We'd definitely use The Painting Company and will recommend them to anyone planning on painting their house. Tim & Joanne, Morristown, NJ Right from the first phone call to request an estimate until the job was completed the service and professionalism of Tony and his crew was impressive. He was quick with an estimate and finished the job well and on time. His crew is very friendly, skilled and professional and they do a great job cleaning up each day as well. Overall my experience was excellent and I would recommend Tony and crew to anyone! Craig, Boonton, NJ Beautiful. Professional. Very well done. Mark and his helper arrived on time each day and went right to work, then when done cleaned up after themselves. He wanted to make sure I was happy with both the colors chosen and the work that was done. Very professional. I'm very happy. I am very happy with the work done by The Painting Company. Have been recommending him to neighbors. Will have a little neighborhood get together to show off how good the house looks due to the professional job that he did. Couldn't be happier. Thank you. Grace, Whitehouse Station, NJ

NCJW Hosts Author Of A Holocaust Survivor’s Story Of Survival

be Peck is the only living Holocaust survivor of an entire town in Poland. He is the only person left in this world who can provide a firsthand account of the atrocities committed by the Nazis against his family, friends and contemporaries. Maya Ross, the author of “Abe-vs-Adolf: The True Story of Holocaust Survivor Abe Peck,” will recount his astonishing story of survival at the National Council of Jewish Women (NCJW), West Morris Section’s Personal Giving Thank-You Brunch on Sun., April 30, beginning at 10 a.m., at a private home in Denville. The event is open to everyone who makes a do-

nation to the NCJW, West Morris Section’s Personal Giving campaign. Donations may be made by contacting Dorothy Cohen at dorothy_irvingcohen@ msn.com. Personal Giving is coordinated by Dorothy Cohen of Denville and Anne Gorman of Rockaway. Before Nazi Germany targeted European Jews for persecution and then ultimately annihilation in its insidious plan called the Final Solution of the Jewish Question, Peck had a wonderful childhood. But in March 1940, at only 15 years old, Peck was snatched from his home and family and forced to spend the next five unimaginably horrific years

as a prisoner in Nazi concentration camps. Robbed of his teenage years, with no parents to guide or care for him, Abe somehow survived starvation, disease, beatings, shootings, forced labor, death marches and prolonged imprisonment. If asked how he did it, how he defied death by beating the most abysmal of odds, he will simply say that he was lucky. But was it luck, or was it an indomitable will to live? By detailing his firsthand experience of the horrors of discrimination and genocide, through Ross’s book, he fervently hopes that subsequent generations will learn from the past and vow, “Never again.” Ross is a fiction writer

who met Holocaust survivor Peck while serving on the board of a not-for-profit philanthropic organization. She was so fascinated by his tale of courage and survival that she set out to write his true life story.
