September 11, 2001, is a day permanently etched in

history. 9-11 carries profound meaning for many peo-

ple and stands in infamy along with events like Pearl

Harbor and the assassinations of President John F. Kennedyand Martin Luther King, Jr.

The attacks on 9-11 resulted in a total of 2,996 fatalities.

Among those were the victims on the four planes, civilians

working in the towers and on the ground, military person-

nel and civilians in the Pentagon, and first-responders to the

scenes. It is believed that at least 200 people in the World

Trade Center fell or jumped to their deaths from the burn-

ing towers because rescue was improbable at or above

points of impact on the towers.

Honoring Those Impacted by September 11Along with the World Trade Center primary towers,

many other buildings in the area were destroyed or badly

damaged from the attack. Many buildings were condemned.

The Pentagon suffered serious damage as well.Thousands of first responders and civilians entered the

affected buildings to search for or help people exit the car-

nage. As of 2010, it is believed that more than 800 of these

responders have also died, some say from illnesses related

to their heroic efforts.

While the world is quick to focus on the extensive dam-

age and loss of life that ensued as a result of this terrible

day, it also is important to focus on the survivors and those

who risked their own lives to save people from burning and

collapsing buildings. There are a number of ways to honor

the legacy of these brave people.

* Establish a memorial at your home, in a neighborhoodpark or at a place of worship. While many memorials exist,

there is certainly room for more memorials devoted to the

heroes of September 11.

* Host a family get-together on or around September 11.

Celebrate the life of those people who were lost on that day

and focus on the positive memories.

* Initiate a scholarship fund in memory of a lost relative

or friend. Many businesses or even the place of employ-

ment of the deceased may be willing to contribute money to

the effort. This way the individual's name will live on and

be associated with something positive for years to come.

* Volunteer time at a firehouse in the area or with an

EMT unit. Volunteer EMTs and fire fighters are in short

supply. Becoming a part of one of these units enables peo-

ple to help others.

* Survivors can share their stories with school children

or others, imparting knowledge about the events as they

unfolded. This is a strong lesson in American history and

bravery.

* Make a donation to a charity that offers financial sup-

port to those impacted by the events of 9-11. Be sure to

check out the charity to ensure that funds are appropriated

properly.

* Plan a visit to downtown New York City to see the

progress that has been made in rebuilding the area, and visit

the memorial that has opened to honor those who lost their

lives.

While September 11, 2011, will live in infamy as a trau-

matic and horrific moment in American history, people can

focus on the positive aspect of the heroes and find ways to

honor their memories.

After an extensive candidate search,

The Jewish Center of Northwest

Jersey (JCNWJ) is pleased to

announce the hiring of Rabbi Mary L.

Zamore, effective July 1, 2013. Rabbi

Zamore succeeds Rabbi Ellen Lewis, whoannounced her retirement last year. Rabbi

Lewis served the congregation for over 19

years.

JCNWJ President, Mo Bauer, who led

the search committee, stated, Rabbi

Zamore brings a diverse rsum of experi-

ence and enthusiasm to our congregation.

We are confident that we have the right per-

son to drive growth and guide us into the

future.

Rabbi Zamore added, The JCNWJ is

exactly the type of congregation I have beenlooking for to call home. The community

that they have created fosters learning, tra-

dition, and most of all, a deep sense of

respect and caring for each other. I look for-

ward to many years of success at JCNWJ.

Rabbi Mary L. Zamore was ordained by

the Hebrew Union College-Jewish Institute

of Religion in 1997. A graduate of

Columbia College, New York, she has also

studied at Yad Vashem and Machon Pardes

(both in Jerusalem). Rabbi Zamore is a past

Co-President of Womens RabbinicNetwork, a past editor of the Central

Conference of American RabbisNewsletter, and has served as a CCAR

board member. She lectures and writes on a

wide variety of topics including Judaism

and food, lifecycles, and education. An

active writer and editor, Rabbi Zamore is

the editor of and a contributing author to

The Sacred Table: Creating a Jewish Food

Ethic (CCAR Press, 2011), which was des-

ignated a finalist by the National Jewish

Book Awards. She blogs for the Huffington

Post.

Rabbi Zamore served Temple Emanu-Elin Westfield, NJ, Temple Beth Am (interim

The Jewish Center of Northwest Jersey Welcomes Rabbi Mary L. Zamorerabbi-educator) in Parsippany, NJ, and most

recently Temple Bnai Or in Morristown,

NJ.

She says of her lifes journey, The deci-

sion to become a rabbi was a natural exten-

sion of my individual passion for Judaism.With time that passion has only deepened,

becoming the cornerstone of my rabbinate.

To me, being a rabbi is to help others dis-

cover their individual connections to

Judaism. It is empowering others to ask

questions and to seek out satisfying

answers. Study, prayer and acts of kindness

weave together to create strong synagogues

and, therefore, strong individuals. I feel

blessed to work with my community, doing

Gods will and, I hope, improving this

world.

She is married to Dr. Terje Z. Lande andthey are the proud parents of a teen.

The public is invited to meet Rabbi

Zamore and our congregation at our August

Shabbat service and High Holiday services.

Mark your calen-

dars for Saturday,

October 12 from

12 Noon to 4 p.m. to spend

a fun-filled afternoon learn-ing about the history and

culture of the native people

of New Jersey. Over 500

people attend this annual

event at the Great Swamp

Outdoor Education Center

in Chatham Township.

Bring the entire family to

meet members of the

Ramapough Lenape Indians

and watch as they present a

traditional drum circle,dances in regalia, and show-

cases authentic tools and

artifacts from hundreds of

years ago. Listen to a histor-

ical speaker and storyteller,

all gathered around a model

wigwam in the forest.

Celebrate Lenape Day at the Great SwampEveryone can enjoy activi-

ties and crafts, such as

molding a clay pot by the

fire, making a fire without

matches, and playing thereal games that Lenape chil-

dren played to hone their

skills. Take a guided walk

on the wooded trails to dis-

cover how the Lenape used

local plants, or explore the

interior of the wigwam, set

up as it would have been

hundreds of years ago.

For thousands of years

before the pioneers arrived

in New Jersey, the Lenape

Indians lived in these

forests, hunting deer and

bear, living in wigwams,

fashioning dugout canoes

from tulip poplar trees, and

crafting their tools out of

rock and bone. They lived

close to the lands, existing

in balance with nature.

Many people mistakenly

believe that the Lenape no

longer exist,

but at this unique event

you can meet present-day

Native Americans of the

Ramapough Lenape and

discover how their lives

have changed over hundredsof years.

Every elementary school

child in the New Jersey

studies the Lenape, but this

event offers a once in a life-

time educational experience

that simply cant be

matched in the classroom.

Come to the Great Swamps

Lenape Day Celebration

and get a true sense of whatlife was like for the native

people of this area hundreds

of years ago. Admission is

$5 per person ages 3 and up.

Snacks and beverages are

available for purchase. For

more information, please

call 973.635.6629. The

Education Center is a facili-

ty of the Morris CountyPark Commission and locat-

Local residents are fueling the national

movement to double lung cancer sur-

vival at the fourth annual Free to

Breathe Morris County Walk September 22

at Horseshoe Lake Park in Succasunna. The

inspirational event will feature an exhilarat-ing 3.5-mile walk, followed by awards for

top fundraisers, food, door prizes and fun for

the whole family. Proceeds from the event

support the National Lung Cancer

Partnerships programs dedicated to dou-

bling lung cancer survival by 2022.

Lung cancer claims more lives in New

Jersey than breast, colon and prostate cancers

combined. In addition, lung cancers five-

year survival rate is only 16 percent, much

lower than that of many other cancers.

However, through community efforts like

Free to Breathe, the Partnership fundsgroundbreaking research necessary for mak-

ing the dramatic breakthroughs in early

detection and treatment that can save lives.

The research and resources funded

through Free to Breathe are reaching the peo-

ple who need them most, event organizer

Jim Dennison said. Together, were build-

ing the promise made to hundreds of thou-

sands of families across the country of life-

saving treatments and cures. Im proud to be

a part of this transformative effort, and I

encourage the entire community to join me

in embracing the Free to Breathe move-ment.

In support of Free to Breathe Morris

County 2012, community members, teams

and local businesses championed the cause

by raising more than $42,000 to help patients

and families affected by lung cancer.

This year, Free to Breathe events across

the country will raise funds and unite lung

cancer survivors, families and friends.

Anyone interested can register for an event,

donate online or start a personal fundraising

page at www.freetobreathe.org.

Those who cant participate in Free toBreathe Morris County can participate in the

National Walk Week Nov. 2 9. The walk

provides a way for everyone to join the

movement. Supporters make this walk their

own by gathering friends, family and co-

workers to walk when and where they

choose.

Allamuchy Fire was dispatched for a

reported motor vehicle accident

involving a tanker truck with fluids

leaking and possible entrapment. As compa-

ny officers arrived on scene, it was con-

firmed that one individual was trapped in a

car and the tanker was heavily leaking gaso-

line from its primary tank.

This was the scenario for a drillAllamuchy Fire conducted to practice safe

tactics when responding to a Hazmat situa-

tion. Firefighters and drivers learned how

and where to properly place fire apparatus,

initial strategies to quickly establish control

of the scene, resources required, and how to

control a leaking tanker.

Upon completing the exercise, firefighters

debriefed and analyzed tactics that worked

and didnt, and how to further improve them-selves if this were a real-life scenario.

Cars, music, dancing, and cheesy

driven-in movies, these were some

of the fun of the 50s, fun that is

recreated for a weekend each year at Lead

East. Held August 28th September 1st atthe Parsippany Hilton, the event, known as

the worlds largest 50s party, includes cars

from 1972 and earlier, do wop groups,

movies like Teenagers from Outer Space

and more. Adult admission is $15 for

Thursday or Friday, $22 for Saturday or

Sunday. Admission for Seniors (66 years

and older) and Juniors (12 to 17 years old)

is $10 on Thursday or Friday, $15 on

Saturday or Sunday. Children (11 and

under) are admitted free to the car show

when accompanied by an adult. Childrenneed a ticket for the Friday, Saturday and

Sunday night Oldies Concerts.

Lead East is put on by Appleton

Productions of Long Valley. The partys

host is Terry Cook, who started the event

31 years ago. One of the ways the event

stays fresh and growing is thanks to those

who attend.

Were always open to suggestions that

come from the people, said Cook.

An example is this years pie eating con-

test that was suggested by the Hilton staff.One thing that draws people to Lead East

is the variety in what it offers. What started

as a car show has grown to be so much

more. While cars are certainly still a huge

part of it (1,800 will be shown this year), the

event includes over 30 do-wop groups,

strolling accapella, and 50s Karaoke andopen mike.

[We have] a really strong following of

music enthusiasts, shared Cook.

Another area of interest is dance. The

event has a Senior Prom Sunday and offers

free dance lessons.

[How many places] can you find ball-

room and jitterbug dancing, noted Cook

who shared the interest in dancing has been

increasing.

One of the things that Cook personally

enjoys are the cheap and cheesy 50smovies that will be shown at the driven-in

created in the Hilton parking lot. In partic-

ular, Cook enjoys the special effects such

as monsters crushing buildings which are

clearly cardboard models. This years offer-

ing will include a 3-D Vincent Price movie

(glasses provided).

You create a mood of having fun.and

its sort of contagious, said Cook.

The spirit can be found everywhere

around the event. Groups showing cars will

claim an island in the parking lot as theirown and decorate it. Theres a pink flamin-

Lead East the 50s Party Continuesgo hangout, a tiki bar (nothing served), dop

wop corner and more. One group created a

10 pin bowling alley one year.

In addition to things to see and do, there

are vendors selling food and a variety of

items.Besides the fun of the event, there is also

giving. Each year theres a big 50-50 draw-

ing to benefit Make-A-Wish. In addition,

this year, the Military Transport Association

(MTA) will be getting a head start on the

holidays by collecting unwrapped toys for

Toys for Tots to be delivered to the US

Marine Reserve Unit at Picatinny Arsenal.

The toys will be distributed to needy chil-

dren in the north Jersey area. The MTAs

jeep will be located in the front Lead East

vendor area.

Reflecting on the popularity of Lead

East( about 15,000 20,000 attend), Cooknotes that the event reflects a more innocent

time. It was a time that the only gun a child

even touched was a toy one, not a real one.

The world was not the way it is today.

But now, for one weekend a year, people

get a chance to visit those earlier days and

enjoy the fun, through a time portal held at

the Parsippany Hilton.

fun is going on now at CS Gymnastics in Flanders. www.csgymnasticsinc.com

What A Perfect Ending to anExciting Camp Day at

"SUMMER ADVENTURE CAMP"!

Many families may be surprised at

how much they spend on school

supplies: According to a recent

article in the University of PennsylvaniasWharton Magazine, for the average person

with children in grades K through 12, it

comes to nearly $700 a year. To help you

get the most for your money, consider these

eight ideas:

1. Try to get a list from your childs

teacher ahead of time. The teacher may

require specific brands, sizes or quantities.

2. Subscribe to a newspaper. It encour-

ages reading and can give kids extra knowl-

edge and incentive in history, civics,

English and science classes.3. Depending on the childs grade, youll

probably need glue, scissors, ballpoint pens,

No. 2 pencils, colored pencils, a pencil

sharpener, a large pink eraser, water-based

markers, spiral-bound or composition note-

books, and a three-ring binder with loose-

leaf notebook paper.

4. Get pocket folders with two pockets.

Label one keep at home and the other

bring to school to help your child organ-

ize his papers.

5. Get a calendar for scheduling assign-

ments, sports practice and so on.6. A pack of index cards for making flash

cards can also come in handy.

7. Lots of books of all kinds.

8. A way to carry it all. Its a fact: Kids

are tough on stuff. But today, kids are carry-

ing many more delicate things like electron-

ics, phones and sunglasses. The days of the

simple backpack are over. Today, kids need

places to put laptops, tablets, cables and

cords along with schoolbooks and papers.

The Thule EnRoute series is a great option

for all these needs. The packs come in fourcolors and four sizes, and feature a large

main compartment with a padded sleeve for

a laptop and a separate pocket for a tablet.

There is even a heat-molded compartment,

called a SafeZone, to protect those smaller,

fragile items.

F

ollowing is a randumb mishmash of titbits (look it up

before you frown), designed to titillate you (for

shame if you frowned again!) - or, at the very least,

provide you with momentary diversion.None of them are of Pulitzer quality, but if they evoke

from you a small smile or perceptible nod, they have served

the writer's purpose.

Here goes:

- Possible Country/Western song title : "She Was Only A

Homely Moonshiner, But I Loved Her Still!"

- Definition of shotgun weddings: Matters of wife or

death.

- While it is true that the early bird gets the worm, it's the

second mouse that gets to eat the cheese.

- Most of the money in the world is tainted; that is to say,

tain't yours and tain't mine neither.- A point to ponder: If the world didn't suck, as some say

it does, there's a good chance that we might fall off it.

- If you have been scared half to death more than once,

be grateful, because you have clearly beaten the odds.

- Maybe the Good Lord didn't create anything without a

purpose, but mosquitoes, cockroaches and many politicians

come mighty close.

- Red meat, contrary to the advice of some nutritionists,

is not bad for you. However, gray meat with a furry coating

more than probably is.

- At all costs, avoid involvement in dangerous cults

(practice safe sects!)

- Never, EVER get into an argument with an idiot; peo-

ple listening in may not be able to tell the difference

between you and him/her.

- Life is like a roll of toilet paper; the closer it gets to theend, the faster it goes.

- Is a puzzlement: How do they train deer to cross the

highway only at those black-on-yellow signs along the

highway?

- There's nothing in life much more annoying than that

point in an intense argument when you first realize that you

are dead wrong and losing badly.

- These among indisputable truisms: Time flies like an

arrow, but fruit flies like a rotten banana.

- Query (only for the literate reader): Should a book on

voyeurism be classified as a peeping tome?

- One of the better ways to get back on your feet is tomiss a few car payments.

- A sober reflection for one and all: What if the hokey-

pokey IS what it's all about?

- It is a scientific fact that light travels faster than sound.

This is why some people appear bright until you hear them

speak.

- Confucius say, " Forbidden fruits create many jams."

(Well, maybe HE didn't, but somebody should have!)

- More we cannot wish you than to wish your dreams

become reality (except for that one when you find yourself

buck naked in a public place.)

- When engaged in one of those self-examination

processes, remember that a clear conscience is frequently

symptomatic of a flawed memory.

- You can't have everything and, as a practical matter,

even if you could, where would you put it all?- Before you criticize people, you should walk a mile in

their shoes; that way, you're 5,280 feet away from them and

they're barefooted.

- For some people, marriage is the mourning after the

knot before.

- The only useful purpose of a child's middle name is so

that he/she can tell that his/her Mom is really PO'd.

- Finally: Only in America do sick people have to walk

the length of a drug store to fill their prescriptions, while

healthy customers can buy cigarettes right up front.

All for now and, very likely, much less than you needed

to make this a great day; hopeful, though, that it beat a sharpstick in the eye!

Most health experts and medical

doctors would agree that drink-

ing lots of water daily can only

better ones health.but how many have

considered the type of water that should beconsumed?

There is a water on the market that con-

tains antioxidants and alkaline, and through

medical studies has proven to improve

health while reducing many diseases and ill-

nesses. A medical device was developed out

of Japan 39 years ago and works to take out

the impurities from tap water.

The device that was designed to restruc-

ture drinking water is available to hospitals,

restaurants and homes world wide and mayvery well be the best water for drinking,

bathing and cleaning, according to experts.

The Japanese company claims that its water

flushes out toxins better than regular water.

You end up with a very powerful

antioxidant, says Rick Ercolano of

Manahawkin, independent sales representa-

tive and distributor of the restructured ion-

ized water, much more powerful than any

fruit, vegetable or green tea would give you.

Ercolano, who presents weekly seminarsabout the oxidizing water, says one glass of

this water equals 30 glasses of green tea,

which is high in antioxidants. The water

also contains alkaline which gives you

energy and is also micro-clustered, which

creates super hydrating water to super

hydrate the body.

The ionized water is healthy waterthats alive that makes people feel better and

gives them more energy, he says.

According to studies and testimony, the

iodized or alkaline water has reduced the

risks for diseases and conditions such as

acid reflux, gout, arthritis, cancer, diabetes,

chronic headaches, back and joint pain,

digestive problems, high blood pressure,

muscle cramps, eczema and psoriasis, wrin-

kles and more.

There are clinical studies published inthe National Institute of Health (NIH) web-

site that show the effectiveness of this

water.

Cancer lives in an acidic environment

but cant survive in an alkaline environ-

ment, says Ercolano, a public speaker and

wellness educator for more than 30 years.

Bottled water can be in storage for six to 12

months. Its not made fresh. Chemicals are

in there.

He says the water that is sold in the fivegallon plastic jugs contain even a greater

percentage of chemicals, and many sports

drinks are also highly acidic as well as car-

bonated drinks such as soda which do not

hydrate the body and can be bad for ones

health.

To date, there are 300 hospitals in Japan

and 3,200 restaurants worldwide that use

the ionizing water device in their establish-

ment.The water device or machine is the size

of a coffee pot and can be placed on the

counter or even under a counter. It ties into

the cold water line under the sink and then

filters water through seven medical plat-

inum coated titanium plates with 23 watts of

electricity. With a double carbon anti-filter,

the electric current goes through the titani-

um plates to work as an ionizer.

The device makes different waters byaltering the ph levels, creating waters that
