By Chelsea Cattano

Thirteen year old Reid Captain conducted a fooddrive benefitting the Lord’s Pantry, which is a min-

istry of Trinity United Methodist Church inHackettstown, in order to fulfill a requirement to become

an Eagle Scout.

The drive took place on Aug. 22 and provided more

than 4,000 pounds of food for community members inneed.

The Boy Scouts of America is an organization that

allows young men to learn the benefits of community

service, while cultivating strong friendships. While the

Boy Scouts are a multi- faceted group, one importantaspect is Eagle Scouts.

According to scouting.org, Eagle Scout is the highest

advancement rank in Boy Scouting and to reach thesought after level of Eagle Scouting, a Boy Scout must

first progress through the previous five ranks. They must

have 21 merit badges, serve six months in a troop leader-

Today’s Youth Come TogetherTo Provide Those In Need Food For Tomorrow

ship position, plan develop and give leadership to a serv-ice project for any religious organization or any school

community, take part in a Scoutmaster conference, and

successfully complete an Eagle Scout board of review.“This was for my Eagle Scout project, it’s one of the

requirements to get to become an eagle scout,” Captain

said. “I could choose any project that could have helpedany non-profit organization. I chose to do a food drive

because I really wanted to help people in town.”

Captain decided to donate to the pantry after the local

food bank told him that they were low on donations dur-

ing this time of the year.Captain spent roughly five months, and 200 hours

planning and organizing this project. Captain spent much

of this time creating 19 neighborhood route maps for vol-

unteers to follow for the distribution and collection of the

bags. Then, with the help of 44 youth and adult volunteers,letters explaining the project were stapled to plastic bags;

the bags were passed out to nearly 3,000 residences in

Hackettstown and then collected. The donations were then

sorted by the Captain and the volunteers and distributed to

the pantry.

“First, on August 15, it was the weekend before thedrive, we dropped off grocery bags around town with a lit-

tle note on them about donating, and then we picked them

up on August 22 and then we collected and sorted them

but some of the bags were left over because some of the

scouts missed a couple of houses, so we picked those up,”Captain said.

According to Captain, he was expecting to collect

1,000 pounds of food, and was surprised by the influx of

donations, which included non-perishables such as, pasta,

spaghetti sauce, peanut butter, and rice.

In the spirit of the Boy Scouts of America, Captainrelayed how much he enjoyed working on this project.According to Captain, after putting in months’ worth of

work, his efforts along with the efforts of every town res-

ident who donated and volunteered, finally paid off.

All of the commendable work that Captain has done, he

wants everyone to know that the Lord’s Pantry couldalways use more donations and that it is as simple as col-

lecting some food and dropping it off at the pantry’s front

door.

“I’d like to say ‘Thank you’ to the hundreds of

Hackettstown residents who donated groceries to local

families in need through this food drive,” Reid said. “Mygoal for this project was to collect 1,000 pounds of food,

so I’m very grateful to everyone who made it possible for

us to bring in more than four times that much. Thank you,

Hackettstown!”

This summer, 11 mem-bers of Boy Scout

Troop 416 of

Independence embarked on

a month-long, 9,300 mile

bus adventure across TheUnited States and Canada.

The excursion featured

an 83 mile canoe trek

through the back country of

Ontario, Canada as well as

visits to multiple national

landmarks and parks in theUnited States. During the

entire trip the troop tent

camped without the ameni-

ties of motels or hostels. The

trip is the brain child of

Scoutmaster Thomas

“Willie” Williams who had

a dream to bring scouts

using the Troop’s signatureblue bus to all three of

BSA’s High Adventure

Bases.

The scout’s departed

from NJ on July 8 and drove

Troop 416 prepare for one of their final days at Northern Tier, Canada. Top row, from left, is: Noah

Tapp, Patrick Williams, John Jensen, Dylan Maney, Scoutmaster Thomas Williams, Jason

Wolenski, Austin Stern, Adult Leader Neil Stern, and Drew Lacouture. Bottom row, from left: Baron

Markowitz and Anthony Guerra.

Boy Scout Troop 416 Travels Coast To Coast On High Adventure Tripfour days before reaching

Atikokan Northern Tier base

in Canada on July 11th. On

the way, the troop stopped at

Niagara Falls. While inNorthern Tier, the crew

canoed a total of 83 miles in

the isolated lakes and rivers

of Canada and camped on

islands along the way. Theirtrek also required hiking

through 13 portage trails

which were needed to get

from one body of water to

another.“The massive amount of

mud made the portage trailsdifficult, especially when

carrying the 90 lb. canoes on

our backs,” said SecondClass scout Noah Tapp.

Troop 416 earned several

awards including the 75-

Miler Award, The Duty to

God Award, Lake

Monitoring Award, and Trailof Courage Award. The

crew will be receiving theHistorical Trail Award soon.

The mini bus visited the

Badlands, Mount

Rushmore, Custer StatePark, Devils Tower, andYellowstone National Park.

The scouts also went white

water rafting.

Along the way, the scouts

biked 14,000 feet down

Pikes Peak in Colorado,

hiked in Arches NationalPark in Utah, and visited

several cities and sites

before returning Aug. 5 after

crossing through 23 statesand seeing all five of theGreat Lakes by the end of

the trip. For each of the

scouts, it was an adventure

of a lifetime and one that

they will soon not forget.

The Home Instead Senior Care officeserving Hunterdon and Warren coun-ties is launching a new campaign

designed to make the community more

Alzheimer’s friendly. Through theAlzheimer’s Friendly Business program, theHome Instead Senior Care office will pro-vide free training to local businesses to helpequip employees with information andresources needed to welcome families whoare caring for a loved one with Alzheimer’sdisease.

In a recent survey of Alzheimer’s care-givers, 74 percent reported that they andtheir loved ones have become more isolatedfrom the community as a result of the dis-ease. Furthermore, 85 percent reported that

they feel a reduced quality of life due to iso-lation.“For many caregivers, the unpredictable

nature of the disease can make going out inpublic with their loved one intimidating,”said Tracy Fazzolari, owner of the localHome Instead Senior Care office. “Ourresearch shows that family caregivers mightbe reluctant to frequent public placesbecause of the behaviors that could be asso-ciated with the disease.”

According to Alzheimer’s DiseaseInternational, the number of people with

dementia worldwide is expected to grow toa staggering 75.6 million by 2030 and 135.5million in 2050.

“Given the statistics, most businesses

that deal with the public will be serving peo-ple with Alzheimer’s and their families,”said Fazzolari. “It’s critical that local busi-nesses start working now to buildAlzheimer’s friendly communities to betterserve their customers with Alzheimer’s andother dementias.”

Local businesses can work directly withthe local Home Instead Senior Care office tocoordinate an in-person training. An inter-active, online version of the training also isavailable at AlzheimersFriendlyBusiness.com.

Once the training is successfully com-pleted, businesses will receive a windowcling with the Alzheimer’s

Friendly Business designation. The des-ignation will be valid for two years.

By Cheryl Conway

There’s been an election for mayorgoing on in Allamuchy but it’s not

a republican against a democrat.

More like a ruff against a meow.

Elect Your Pet For Mayor of

Allamuchy began Aug. 1 with candidateshaving to file by Sept. 1, and online vot-

ing lasting through Sept. 18.

Inauguration Day with the announcement

of the winner was expected to be held

Sept. 19 at 3 p.m. during Allamuchy Day.Unlike the typical way to raise money

like a bake sale, car wash, tricky tray or

dinner, a group of local volunteers

recently held a fundraiser for animal

lovers to nominate their pet for mayor.The fundraiser has been spearheaded bysix retirees who established A Dog Park

Committee with all funds going toward

the establishment of a new dog park in

town.

“Selling cupcakes doesn’t get veryfar,” says Ellen Nadeau of Allamuchy,

member of the Dog Park Committee who

thought of the idea for pet mayor. People

were allowed to nominate their pet and

then each vote was $1. With 11 animals

nominated as of Aug. 24, $1,000 had

already been raised.

“I nominated my one-eye cat,” says

Nadeau. She made banners that read“Vote for Charlotte the One Eye Cat.” A

fireman nominated his “Pig Dozer” and a

farmer nominated his horse Rudy “who

has a mind of his own.”

Participants had to submit a $20 filingfee to nominate their pet and then a link

was set up for residents to vote. Polling

places were also set up around town such

as at the Allamuchy General Store,

Panther Valley Pharmacy and post office.

The top five candidates were expected

to be present at Allamuchy Day, Sept. 19,at the playing fields on Alphano Rd. “A

great day for announcement of mayor,”

says Nadeau, when many residents come

out for a talent show, cupcake contest,display of a new fire-truck, vendors and

more.

The winner of the election will win the

title as “Pet Mayor” for one year and will

be expected to participate in some“showy” events around town like a spe-

Pets Vie For Mayor Of Allamuchy With Votes To Support Dog Park

cial appearance at Pet Smart.

A resident of Allamuchy for 14 years,

Nadeau tried to start a dog park a fewyears back but did not get support from

the township mayor at that time, she said.

Current Allamuchy Mayor Betty

Schultheis, who was on the council at

that time, liked her idea so requested thatshe start a committee back in May 2014.

Back To School Restyling So since last year, Nadeau and six oth-ers have been busy laying the ground-

work for a dog park from establishing all

the rules and registration requirements,

to developing a website, Facebook page,locating a site for the park, and coordi-

nating the recent fundraiser which was

approved by both the mayor and council.

“They don’t want anything going on

the taxpayers’ dime,” says Nadeau.The one acre property across from the

Allamuchy Firehouse on Alphano Rd.

has been designated to be used for the

future Allamuchy Dog Park.

“We took a peek at that and liked it,”

says Nadeau. “We walked around withthe Open Space director first; He showed

us plots of land.” Committee members

liked the property across from the fire-

house because of the ample parking so

dog walkers can park their car whileplaying at the dog park.

The size of the property is also suit-

able as the park will be big enough to

separate small dogs from the large dogs,

she says.

Committee members have estimated

that the dog park will cost about $20,000

bare minimum. If they added in a foun-

tain, total cost could reach $30,000, butthat’s “blue sky,” says Nadeau. “We’re

not going for blue sky; we’re going with

fence and entrance gates; that’s bare

bones.”

The goal of the fundraiser was to raiseenough money for the dog park so taxes

do not increase.

“It’s not on the taxpayers’ dime,” says

Nadeau. “We have to find a way to get

the money up.”

For those who plan to use the dogpark, a registration fee will be required in

order to keep up with the ongoing main-tenance costs, explains Nadeau, like

funds for feces removal or to cut grass.

Committee members have alsoplanned to apply for a grant for some

additional funding and also distribute a

brochure to all residents requesting for

donations.

The goal is to have the park estab-lished by the summer of 2016, says

Nadeau. “We are so shovel ready,” she

says. To get the park going, the land

needs to be cleared, she says, so the plan

is to bring in 4-H goats to chomp on the

underbrush. Next will be to put up afence; establish a boundary for small

dogs and large dogs; install a gate with a

key card mechanism at the entrance area;

a receptacle area for waste; and a roof-

covered kiosk near the entrance for infor-mation.

A former school nurse for 26 years,

Nadeau knows the importance of vacci-

nations. Like the students who needed

their vaccinations in order to attend

Kindergarten registration, Nadeau plansto be just as strict with dogs being vacci-

nated in order to have entry.

“I want all dogs to have their vaccina-

tions and that they have their fecal

exam,” says Nadeau, so they don’t spread

worms. “I want all dogs to have theirown tags they are members. When they

start registering, I will be at town hall.”

Members of the dog park will have a

key card to gain entry into the park. The

park will be restricted to members only

and there will be a reasonable fee toobtain a key card.

With the nearest dog park in Mt. Olive

at Turkey Brook Park, residents in

Allamuchy wanted closer vicinity to

walk their dogs.A lot of people live in clutch housing”

like Panther Valley, says Nadeau, requir-

ing dog owners to comply with ordi-

nances that require dogs to be walked on

leashes. “People in Hackettstown arewalking their dogs on leashes; people

want to let their dogs roam.” A dog park

is also “a great idea to socialize.”

The residents and

staff of Heath

Village Retirement

Community are celebrat-

ing the 100th birthday of long-time resident Ruth

Helen Koster Forrest.

Ruth was born on Sept.

13, 1915 in Prospect Park.

In 1933 she graduatedfrom Paterson Central

High School where she

answered to the nicknames

“Topsy” or “Shrimp.” Her

yearbook stated her ambi-tion was to own a ranch

and marry a cowboy. Likeso many in her generation,

the Depression was a part

of her life. Ruth’s senior

prom had to be cancelled;she and her fellow class-

mates were granted per-

mission to spend $5 on

white dresses for gradua-

tion since the school

Ruth Forrest with Washington Township Vice-Mayor Kenneth

Short who presented her with a proclamation on behalf of all the

residents of Washington Township celebrating her 100th birth-

day.

Heath Village Celebrate Resident’s 100 Year Old Birthday couldn’t afford to purchasethe traditional caps and

gowns.

Ruth was fortunate to

obtain a job as a factory

worker with the Manhattan

Shirt Company located in

Paterson, and soon workedher way up to record keep-

er, earning $7 per week.

Ruth met her husband,

Harold Clark Forrest,

while shopping in the local

Five & Dime store. After a

two year courtship, theywere married on Dec. 24,

1937. The couple moved

into Ruth’s family’s home

to care for both Ruth’s

mother and her Aunt. It



17/36


was 12 years before they ever lived alone.

Harold worked at Meyer’s Brother’s

Department Store in the Lunch Room

earning $15 weekly; Ruth was up to $13

per week at the Manhattan ShirtCompany. They felt like millionaires!

Eventually, Ruth stopped working while

Harold worked seven days a week during

World War II at Wright Aeronautical.

Sadly, at the young age of 44, Harold diedfollowing an eight-month illness.

A young widow, Ruth forged ahead

and obtained a position at Prospect Park

National Bank, later People’s United,

where she worked for seventeen years

until retiring at age 64. Learning that sen-ior citizens could attend college classes

for free, Ruth called William Patterson

University and enrolled

“I loved going to college,” she said.

“I learned so much from the young peo-ple. I love to learn. I am at my happiest

when I learn something new every day.”

In May of 1988, Ruth joined 37 of her

former high school classmates on a trip to

Heath Village to celebrate their former

teacher, Rita Beckley, who was turning

100 years old. It only took that one visit

for her to fall in love with the unique

retirement community. Immediately upon

returning home, Ruth called for an appli-

cation and made the decision to sell theone and only house in which she had ever

lived. She finally became a Heath Village

resident in 1991, making her a resident

for nearly 25 years.

“I love it here; the residents, the staff are all wonderful,” said Ruth. Since her

arrival at Heath Village, and in addition to

her countless activities, Ruth has become

a member of the Methodist Church in

Hackettstown.And, what do her fellow residents have

to say about Ruth? Well, she is the smil-

ing presence in the lobby, leaning on her

walker, sunshades flipped up, asking

everyone she meets “how are you today?”

Or, in the words of one resident, “she isthe welcoming little gal greeting every-

one with delight.” At Thanksgiving, she

will be the first one to ask “will you be

alone for Thanksgiving dinner? Yes, then

you must join my table.”

Ruth is interested in everyone and hasthat special talent for remembering each

individual’s life story. Turning 100 isn’t

slowing Ruth down in the least. She is

often seen in the exercise room and she

never cheats on her diabetic diet. She alsokeeps herself mentally sharp. She reads a

newspaper every day and often on the

computer where she likes to check her

email and read up on even more news.

Residents and staff marvel at her ener-gy. In the words of one her fellow resi-

dents, “Ruth is the essence of HeathVillage. She is dedicated to living a life of

fellowship and personal and spiritual

well-being.”

What does Ruthie think about turning

100? “It has been a fun life.”To kick-off the next 100 years, a spe-

cial party was held for Ruth on Wed.,

Sept. 9, at Heath Villlage. Heath Village

is a full-service retirement community in

Washington Township. For more informa-tion, call 908-852-4801

New Jersey Blood Services has

planned the following blood

drives:Sept. 25- Madison Area YMCA,

Madison, 2 p.m. to 8 p.m.

Sept. 28- Knights of Columbus, Netcong,

3 p.m. to 9 p.m.

New Jersey Blood Services, a division

of New York Blood Center (NYBC) isasking for help to maintain an adequate

supply of all blood types, but especially

O-negative – the “universal” blood which

can be transfused into anyone in an emer-

gency. In addition, hundreds of addition-al blood drives need to be scheduled to

meet projected hospital demand. Current

inventory of several blood types is run-

ning below the desired target level.

“It’s simple: hospital patient demandfor blood often outpaces our best efforts

to recruit donors and schedule blood

drives,” said NYBC Executive Director

of Donor Recruitment Andrea Cefarelli.

“There are always reasons but we have to

overcome that for the sake of hospitalpatients who need us.”

“This is one of the toughest times of the year,” Cefarelli added. “We’re asking

for our dedicated supporters to roll up

their sleeves to make sure we’re able to

provide our hospital partners with what-ever they need to take care of their

patients.”

Blood products have a short shelf life

– from five to 42 days, so constant

replenishment is necessary. Each andevery day there are patients who depend

on the transfusion of red blood cells,

platelets and plasma to stay alive. But

blood and blood products can’t be manu-

factured. They can only come from vol-unteer blood donors who take an hour to

attend a blood drive or visit a donor cen-

ter.

how to organize a blood drive call 1-800-

By Jane Primerano

Bill Leavens, secretary of the

trustees of the Musconetcong

Watershed Association, found the

most appropriate place to talk aboutRiver-Friendly farms was at the Warren

County Farmers’ Fair.

The River-Friendly Farm Certification

Program along the Musconetcong Riveris the first in New Jersey and the MWA is

working with the North Jersey Resource

Conservation and Development Service

to help farmers protect waterways

through their farms.

According to a description written byGrace Messinger, RC&D executive

director, “the program works with eachindividual applicant to plan, find funding

for and implement practices that help

protect and enhance water quality.”Runoff from farms, a form of non-

point-source pollution, lowers the water

quality of the stream.

Farms along the Musconetcong or its

feeder streams need to meet certain crite-ria for River-Friendly Certification and

the RC&D newsletter delineated those

criteria: soil loss management, pesticidemanagement, nutrient management and

conservation buffers. Pesticide manage-

ment consists of recording how much fer-

tilizer and/or pesticide is applied and

how often. Nutrient management relatesto manure handling. Conservation

buffers usually refer to trees and shrubs

around bodies of water. These plantings

keep animals from direct contact with the

water.

The latest farm to receive certificationis BSB Holstein Farm in West Portal,

Hunterdon County. The 150-acre farm is

owned by Bernie and Sharon Beatty who

have implemented strip-cropping andcrop rotation as well as conservationtillage and cover cropping. All of these

measures recue soil erosion and protect

the water quality in the Musconetcong

River and West Portal Brook.

The MWA and RC&D are looking formore applicants for the River-Friendly

Farm program. According to the MWA

newsletter whether a farm is five or 500

acres, it can improve water qualitythrough river-friendly practices.

There aren’t as many farms as there

once were between Lake Musconetcong

and Hackettstown, but even landownerswho don’t farm can participate in river-

friendly practices. To that end the MWAcontinued on page 22

produced a special edition of its newslet-

ter, “Musconetcong River News,” for

riverfront landowners, written by MWA

Executive Director John Brunner and

Kim Hood of the MWA Board of Trustees.

Hood and Brunner explain the river’sproblems are no longer caused by waste-

water treatment facilities and industry,

but by people who drive near the river, do

construction near its banks, feed geese,apply pesticides and dump lawn debris.

Stormwater runoff comes from excess

paving especially in developments

designed without concern for the natural

features of the land. Hood and Brunnerencourage property owners to plant

buffers along streams and make sure

yards and other grassy areas are absorb-

ing rain. Buffers act to shade streams and

maintain cooler water temperatureswhich is especially helpful for trout

streams.

Sediment from significant earth dis-

turbance or vegetation removal can be

damaging to fish eggs and bottom

dwelling organisms. Consistent sediment

pollution causes streams to be shallower

and wider, creating warmer water thatcan limit oxygen necessary to aquatic

life.

Nutrients propagate the growth of

algae and rooted aquatic plants which can

lead to oxygen depletion. Livestock andpets too near the stream, waterfowl and

malfunctioning septic systems are all

sources of nutrients.

Hood and Brunner have a list of tips

for landowners that include keeping pets

and grazing animals away from water-ways, not feeding waterfowl, using gar-

den and lawn chemicals sparingly if at all

and setting mower blades at least three

inches high.

Leavens’ education effort at the fairand the printed material produced by the

MWA and RC&D is just one of the most

recent efforts of the two groups to protect

the river. He said a dam removal program

to maintain flow of the river is very suc-cessful. Many dams along the river were

built for now long-dismantled industry,

Leavens pointed out.

Arecent Hackettstown High School graduate iscompeting for national honors after her posterfor a Soil Conservation District contest won

top honors in both Warren County and New Jersey.Allamuchy Township resident Taylor Copko

received a certificate of merit from the Warren CountyBoard of Chosen Freeholders and a free balloon ridefor two at the Warren County Farmers’ Fair andBalloon Festival from Jersey Central Power & Lightin recognition of her achievement in the NationalConservation Poster Contest.

Every year, Soil Conservation Districts across thestate of NJ give students in grades two through 12 thechance to participate in the contest, researching thetheme about an important conservation issue anddesigning a poster based on that theme. This year’stheme was “Local Heroes….Your HardworkingPollinators” and Copko is both County and Statewide

Grand Champion for grades 10-12. Her poster will be judged against others from around the nation later thisyear.

Freeholder Director Edward J. Smith and his fel-low freeholders, Jason J. Sarnoski and Richard D.Gardner, presented the certificate of merit at their July22 meeting and praised Copko as they looked at acopy of her award-winning artwork. JCP&L AreaManager Stan Prater then told Copko that the utility,one of the sponsors of the farmers’ fair and balloonfestival, was offering her a free ride for two during the

fair “as a token of our appreciation for your hardwork.”

Copko later opted to send her uncles, GarrettEdwards and Wade Edwards, on the balloon ride,which they took during the balloon festival July 30.

Speaking about the contest, Copko remarked, “Myfavorite part is that I learned bats are a pollinator.” Herposter included drawings of bees, birds, butterfliesand bats wearing superhero capes while pollinatingflowers, fruits, and other plants.

Copko said during the freeholder meeting presen-tation that she had been interested in art practically“all my life,” adding, “This is my passion.” She plansto study for the next year at Warren CountyCommunity College and then head to the SanFrancisco Academy of Art University to pursue herdream.

October is Breast Cancer Awarenessmonth and throughout Oct. 31

Alfonso's Salon in Flanders, for the

fourth year in a row, is joining the fight to

defeat breast cancer, the second leading

cancer killer of women. The salon is offer-ing pink hair extensions to commemorate

the cause. The extensions are available in a

shade of bright pink for $12 each; in order

to eliminate any bank fees, cash is required.

All donations and profits for this fundraiser

will benefit the Susan G. KomenFoundation for the Cure of North Jersey.

"We are proud to help where we can to

raise funds to assist research, increase

awareness and promote screenings," says

Alfonso Merola, owner/stylist of Alfonso's

Salon at Sutton Plaza. "Breast Canceraffects so many families. I have seen it

touch the lives of many, and happily count

many as successful survivors of this dis-

ease, because of early detection."The Salon has received much recogni-

tion for its efforts to help defeat breast can-

cer.

The non-permanent extensions are a

simple process and it only takes minutes to

apply.

"We compress the pink extension into

the hair without causing any harm to the

client's own hair,” he says. “They lookgreat on women of all ages, from kids to

seniors, with some customers getting twoor three at a time. They can be easily cut to

any length the client wants and will stay in

as long as a moisturizing shampoo or con-ditioner is not used on the root area.”

Alfonso is particularly excited about

working with groups for this worthy

fundraiser. Last year, he was invited to

Morristown Medical Center to apply exten-

sions to staff during the shift change out-side the cafeteria, and plans to return this

month. Check out Alfonso’s Facebook

page for days and hours.Cheerleaders and sports groups from the

local high schools have also come in as ateam to show their support. It's a fundraiser

and a team building exercise all in one.

The salon will accept any donation even

if customers do not want to take advantage

of the hair extension services. A jar will be

available at the front desk. Donation jarscan also be found at Valentino's Pizzeria,

Pink Extensions For The Cure Fundraiser At Alfonso's SalonVerizon Wireless store, Wine Rack,

Flanders Cleaners, Flanders Bagels, and

Mandarin Village.

In business for 30 years, Alfonso's is afull service salon, specializing in complete

hair services such as color, cuts, styling,and specialized smoothing systems such as

Keratin Straightening System and Keratin

Express as well as perms and conditioning

treatments. Manicures, pedicures and wax-

ing services are also provided. Hair exten-sions come in many varied colors and are

done all year round.

As of Sept. 1, the NJ Car Seat Law

will be changing. Children under

the age of two and weighing less

than 30 pounds must be in a rear-facingcar seat with a five point harness. The

car seat must be in a rear seat of the vehi-

cle.

From age two through age four andweighing up to 40 pounds, children mustbe secured in a seat with a five point har-

ness, either rear facing, up to the height

and weight of the particular seat, or for-

ward facing in the rear seat of the vehi-

cle.For ages four until age eight and less

than 57 inches, children must be seated in

either a car seat with a five point harness

or a booster seat, also in the rear seat of

the vehicle.Age eight through 17 must wear a

properly adjusted and fastened seat belt.

If there are no rear seats, like in a stan-

dard cab pickup truck, the child must be

secured in the appropriate car seat or

booster for their age, weight, and height,in the front passenger seat. If the child is

in a rear-facing car seat, the passenger

side airbag must be disabled or turned

off.For information about our car seat

Those interested in socializing with folks who keep thewheels of the museum turning at Edison’s 19thCentury factory complex in West Orange can attend

the Muckers’ Ball fundraiser on Sat., Oct. 3. It promises atradition of food, drink, music and dancing under the big tent- a location where Thomas Edison and his Muckers hadsome great celebrations. For more info on the Muckers’ Ballcontact the Friends of Thomas Edison Historical ParkFoTENHP www.foedison.org; call 973-736-2916; or [email protected].

Touring the legendary work site of Thomas Edison andthe growing curiosity in Steampunk makes this NationalHistorical Park NHP in West Orange even more uniquelyremarkable today.

Steampunk is a subgenre of devotees that are fascinatedby retro science fiction, technology and artistic designs of the late 19th-century that ignited with the force of steam-powered machinery. Steampunk channels the era's perspec-

tive of those that lived during this futuristic thinkingVictorian and American Wild West age. Steampunk is aboutrevisiting its own distinct fashion, culture, architectural styleand art. It was a time of colorful futuristic storytelling fromH. G. Wells and Jules Verne. The Thomas Alva Edison fac-tory laboratories and his Victorian Glenmont estate home inWest Orange are in themselves Steampunk time capsulesmaintained by our National Park Service. It is also furtherpreserved by private funds, foundations and the Friends of TENHP that do dedicated fundraising where it is needed.They provide the additional renovations, enhancements and

special project exhibits that are not covered in the NHPbudget. The FoTENHP also promotes the era’s pastimes of gardening, fashion, advertisements and the music that wereconnected to these Edison inventions in true spirit.

Coincidentally, the Victorian age of the late 19th Centurywas also the pinnacle years of Thomas Edison’s career that

made him the world’s famous wizard of invention capable of moving ideas off from the science fiction category to theworld of tomorrow. In 1897 H.G. Wells created his sciencefiction masterpiece The War Of The Worlds. The Hearstnewspaper group commissioned a sequel to follow it.Science editor - Garrett Putnam Serviss would write the nextstory. This sequel follow up was entitled Edison’s Conquestof Mars which appeared in Feb. of 1898. Thomas Edisonbecame the heroic character of this science fiction world.The iconic persona of Edison was a name that lent thebelievability factor to a new fiction genre – the space tech-no-thriller. Serviss’ book was the first space battle to ever

appear in print.The West Orange laboratory complex was built in 1887.

The facilities were well equipped with many kinds of machinery and instruments, with a factory supply of materi-als from around the world that employed dedicated and care-fully-chosen workers. Employees that worked at Edison’sfactory laboratories did not need to read a science fictionbook to believe that Thomas Edison had the imagination totake them into the future with his inventions and ideas.There was a lot of excitement working for Thomas Edisonthat attracted the best talent pool of employees not only

locally but from around the world. This pool also includedgreat performing artists for his film and music studio pro-ductions. Edison’s closest workers were his engineering anddevelopment team that he fondly called his Muckers. Therewere great employee celebrations too that went along withthe hard work that helped produce the grist for futuristic pulpfiction in its day.
