T

he Centenary Stage Company will present The New

Jersey Civic Youth Ballets (NJCYB) performances

of the annual Nutcracker this year in the David and

Carol Lackland Center in Hackettstown. With a cast of 60

talented dancers from Morris, Sussex and Warren Counties,

The NJCYBs Nutcracker is unique because its narrated by

Janine Byrnes who tells the story from the perspective of

young Clara Stahlbaum.

In this dramatic presentation, the audience is invited to

Dr. And Mrs. Stahlbaum's Christmas Party. As the theater

darkens, and some of the worlds most beautiful music

plays, Ms. Byrnes takes the audience on a storybook adven-

ture. Claras Godfather presents his magic show of dancing

dolls enchanting the children who attend the party. He has

gifts for all, but one touches the young Clara's heart, an

ugly Nutcracker. As Clara falls asleep under the beautiful

Christmas tree, the noise of mice wake her. To save Clara,

the Nutcracker and his army battle the giant Mouse King.

The Nutcracker turns into a handsome prince, and takes a

grown-up Clara through the enchanted forest into the land

of Christmas. This is the most enchanting fairy tale of a

child's most unforgettable Christmas, says NJCYB

Director, Christine Taylor, Through Ms. Byrnes narration,

young children understand a fanciful story, while the rest of

us realize that his is truly a story of life, love and the holi-

day spirit.

This season the coveted role of Clara will be shared by

Michelle Quiner from Chester, and Kayla Walsh from LongValley. The role of Clara isnt new to these two rising

dancers; Quiner performed Clara with Radio City Music

Hall last year, and Walsh performed the role in 2009 for the

NJCYB. The role of Fritz will be performed by Hayden

Slaff of Mansfield. Guest performer Sean Patric and partner

Shanna Heverly from NewYork City join the company this

grounds include the National Tour of Cats as

Henning and Elisabeth Holowchuk Sollog, from the

roles of Sugar Plum Fairy, Cavalier, and Godfather

Drosselmeyer.

Nutcracker will be performed Dec. 17th a t 2:00 & 7:00, andDec. 18th at 3:00 at the new Lackland Center, Sitnik

Imagine falling asleep every night with the fear

that you might be abducted in the middle of the

night, forced to abuse your family and then get

brainwashed to fight in a war for your country.

This would be a nightmare to us, but in Uganda,

Africa, i ts a reality for young boys. Invisible

Children, Inc. is a nonprofit organization whose

aim is to educate and help those who have gotten

out of the situation. The organization provides

help finding jobs, rebuilding schools, educating

themselves on how to provide for their families

and whatever else needs to be done to help the peo-

ple of Uganda.

In Centenary Adjunct Professor Anjana Desais

Global Politics class she showed a film about the

Invisible Children of Uganda. As a result, one student

felt the need to go out and fundraise on his own for this

organization. Evan Miles, a sophomore, pledged that if

he could raise $200 he would shave his head. Miles, who

is a Criminal Justice major, traveled to his hometown of

Montclair, N.J., and was able to raise the money in two

weeks.

Im pretty well known in my hometown so a lot of

people were excited to see me shave my head, says

Miles, I really wanted to do something for this cause and

By Eric Clauburg

G

reatnews intheeconomy!It was a bit of

a surprise to hear that one of our own,

Kevil Chevrolet in Budd Lake, were

ranked # 1 in the whole New York Region forChevrolet Dealers reaching their sales objective

in the month of October.

A whopping 150%.

When youconsider that they areup against some

giant Chevroletdealerships inmoremetro, popu-

lated areas, this is no small feat.

Curious, wewent there to find outwhy.

First, we spoke to the owner, Mike Kevil.

We asked him his secret for success and he

modestly responded, "We have been in busi-

ness for over 50 years and we simply give

our customers what they want. They want tobe treated like I like to be treated myself

when I go to buy something. They want us

to be honest with them and give them a good

deal. They appreciate that we are not one of

those Dealers yelling on the radio about

$4500 for their clunker, $5000 cash back or

no payments for 1 year. Our customers are

smart and they realize these dealerships just

mark up their cars to be able to do all these

things. Besides, we have an unconditional

price guarantee. We will never lose one of

our customers over price. If they think theycan get a better deal somewhere else, just

bring us the deal and we will match or beat it.

Another big reason is our service depart-

ment. Our customers love our service

department. They want to buy their next

vehicle at Kevil and will give us everyopportunity".

I told him that this seems like a very sim-

ple business plan and asked him why other

dealerships don't incorporate the same phi-

losophy? Mike's response, " I really don't

know. It seems like many dealerships still

sell cars like they did in the 60's. They don't

realize that customers are very educated

when it comes to car buying. They know the

cars. They know how to look up the Dealer's

cost on the internet. They know how to look

up howmuchtheirtrade is worth. Mostpeo-ple absolutely hate the car buying experi-

ence. They feel like it's one big shell game.

We operate in a very transparent way. We

have an unconditional, 30 day, money back

guarantee on our pre-owned vehicles. This

tells our customers that we only sell quality

used cars with any needed repairs done

already. It also tells our customers that they

will not find that same car somewhere else

for less"

After talking to Mike for just 15 minutes,

I knew that this was the dealership that Iwould buy my next car. Another interesting

Local Business Earns Prestigious # 1 Rankingprogram they have is their Vehicle Locator.

If they don't have the vehicle you want in

stock (any make or model), they will do all

the work for you. They will locate it, inspect

it, buy it and bring it to their dealership todeliver it to you. If it doesn't pass your final

inspection, they will simply put it in their

large inventory. That just blew me away.

How do customers feel about Kevil? I

spoke to one of their recent customers, Bill K

from Chester. He was certainly thrilled. " As

a sales manager myself, I set my standards

higher than normal when it comes to buying

a vehicle. I can tell you unequivocally that

Kevil Chevrolet was wonderful to deal

withthey kept every promise and didnt

disappointment me at any time, from my firstinquiry until I took delivery of my vehicle. I

would recommend anyone looking for a

vehicle to contact them.

Number 1 ranking in the whole New York

Region? I can certainly see why. They are

located at 412 Route 46 West, Budd Lake,

NJ. 908-747-4043. www.kevil.com

awareness in my students

that these invisible chil-

dren exist today.In the fall 2010,

Wh e n D ec em be r h i ts , t h e

stakes are raised for NFL

football teams. The play-offs are rapidly approaching. Every

game is a must win, and no detail is

too small to ignore. The challenge

l a st year ' s C hri s tm as snow s torm

posed fo r foo tba l l t eam s m ade i t

crystal clear that one factor which

can't be overlooked this time of year

is the weather.

Enter WeatherWorks, an important

piece of the puzzle as teams gather key

weather details approaching game day,and on game day itself. Providing accu-

rate and detailed weather reports for teams

such as the New York Jets, Philadelphia

Eagles, and Baltimore Ravens, the

Hackettstown, NJ-based forecasting firm

gives their clients the information critical

to getting the job done on game day, and

in many cases, before game day as plan-

ning around weather conditions for prac-

tices can be just as important. Several col-

lege teams go to WeatherWorks for impor-tant weather information as well.

"People who know sports know that

weather can be a decisive factor in the out-

come of any game, so we give footballteams the details they need to know about

everything from temperature, to wind, to

precipitation," said Frank Lombardo, a

Certified Consulting Meteorologist and

President of WeatherWorks. "It's not all

about Game Day, though, as teams often

need to know weather conditions for prac-

tices during the week - do we practice

indoors or outdoors, for example."

As a result of Weather Works' input,

players can make the right decision aboutwhat equipment to use, coaches can effec-

tively game plan for the conditions,

groundskeepers can determine the

resources needed to keep the playing field

in good shape, and team officials can do

what is necessary to ensure that fans at the

stadium are safe.

December i sn 't t he only t im e

WeatherWorks' forecasts play a crucial

role for football teams. High winds can be

a factor at any time of the year, and in thewarmer months, preparing for the August

Expert Hackettstown Forecasters KeepNFL Teams In The Game

heat index can be just as vital as the being

ready for the January wind chill. In addi-

tion, having an accurate forecast for thun-derstorms is a must when lightning strikes

can shut down any sporting event. And in

the preseason, WeatherWorks forecasts

provide the info teams need to help keep

training camp practice schedules on time.

It's not just pro sports teams who

depend on WeatherWorks. The company

also provides forecasting services to gov-

ernment agencies, schools and universi-ties, insurance and forensic investigators,

and a wide range of media outlets.

There are a variety of reasons why the

Hackettstown High School boys

soccer program finished above the

.500 mark and advanced to the NJSIAA

North II Group II Sectional Tournament this

fall. Solid guidance demonstrated by the

team captains, an ability to keep their com-

posure and play well against even the

toughest of competition are just some of the

positive attributes that allowed the Tigers to

finish the season with a 10-9-1 record and

advance to the North II Group II bracket

before being defeated by West Essex.

Newton won the North II Group II Sectional

crown.

Hackettstown head coach Gary Thomas

remembers those contests in which the team

was at their best.

Beating Kittatinny after having lost to

them twice this season was an impressive

win to me, Thomas said. Although we

lost 1-0 at home (in the first game between

the two teams), we had many chances to

score but didnt. They had a breakaway and

converted it to win. The second game was in

the Hunterdon/Warren/Sussex County

Tournament in which we lost in overtime.

Both of those could have gone the other

way very easily. Finally in the third game,we were up 3-0 before a controversial goal

made it 3-1. That was a satisfying win that

we worked hard for in practice.

Our final season game with Newton

was 0-0 until a penalty kick was given in the

last two minutes of the game to give

Newton the win. Newton was a very good

team that won the division and Sectional

championship. In the first half I felt we had

the better of play. We put together all the

defensive principles we had worked on all

season. Newton had more chances to score

in the second half, as we bent but did not

break. It was a very good game.

As was mentioned above, the Tigers

had strong captains this season. This of

course is a very important thing for any

good squad to have in their corner.

Tyler Kessell and Grant Vanderydt

were elected captains at the beginning and

showed leadership in various ways,

Thomas said. Tyler was the strong silent

type who led by example. His toughness

was inspirational. Grant was more vocal

and helped with unity and motivation.

Amongst the student-athletes on the

Hackettstown roster who made positive

strides throughout the course of the season

was Peter Mahal.

Peter started out very rusty, Thomas

said. This got better and better. He wasalso very coachable as he absorbed every-

Hackettstown HS Boys Soccer Ends Above the .500 Markthing. We were able to move Luke Arcona

forward to make room for Peter. Peter gave

100% in practice and games and became as

steady as a rock in the back. For this he

received the Honorable Mention award that

each coach is allowed to give.

Members of the senior class will be

missed when the 2012 season rolls around,

but Thomas has a strong belief in the play-

ers who will be returning to the lineup.

We have 13 of the 17 players back for

next year, Thomas said. The four players

who we are losing to graduation are Ryan

Somelofske, Connor Haar, Kessell and

Vanderydt.

This was a school record low for num-

ber of seniors (four) and number of return-

ing starters (one), yet we finished with a

winning record and played some exciting

soccer at times. We had four games go into

overtime and had another exciting finish to

the game with West Essex in the Sectional

Tournament.

Its not just thatone piece of the puzzleneededfor success for theHackettstownHighSchoolgirls soccerprogramwas there thispastseason. Indeed, several pieces of the puzzle were in place, which

allowedtheTigersto achieve aconsiderableamountofthepitch.

Hackettstown had solid leadership from both the coachingstaff and the captains on the team, several student-athleteswho constantly improved their soccer skills as the season pro-gressed, student-athletes with a belief in themselves and theirteammates-and the results were quite positive for individualplayers and for the team in general.

Amongst the accomplishments earned by the Tigers thispast season was a 14-6-1 overall record and a record of 9-1 inthe Northwest Jersey Athletic Conference Freedom Division.That mark of 9-1 in the Freedom Division was good enoughfor first place, making it back to back years that Hackettstownwon the division title.

They also advanced to the NJSIAA North II Group IISectional Tournament quarterfinal round where they weredefeated by Caldwell, 2-2 (overtime shootout). Madison wonthe North II Group II Sectional crown and Ramsey was theState Group II champion.

There were several memorable games from which headcoach Hackettstown Tara Repsher could likely recall herteam playing in and she narrowed it down to a few contestswhich were most meaningful from a program standpoint.

The games that stand out as the most impressive includethe first time we played Kittatinny, Repsher said. Eventhough we lost in double overtime, the team showed tremen-dous heart and determination in that game to come back from

a 0-2 deficit and fight until the end.Another game that stood out was the quarterfinal game of

the Hunterdon/Warren/Sussex County Tournament where webeat Pope John in double overtime. Pope John was a verystrong team and we played hard for 90-plus minutes to comeout with the win.

Several student-athletes on the roster stepped to the fore-

front in key moments to allow the Tigers to enjoy the type ofsuccess that they did this fall.

We had a lot of girls step up at different points of the sea-son and lead the team, Repsher said. The three senior cap-tains, Amanda Aussems, Caroline Carros and Adelisa Ribicall did a great job. Caroline was the leader by example fromthe forward position who played hard 100% of the time andsupported all of her teammates. Amanda was the emotionaland experienced leader in the midfield who again led byexample and Adelisa was the leader in the back. She settledthe defense and used her experience to keep us strong.

The Tigers presented a total team effort and that certainlyincluded those who are sophomores this year.

We had some sophomores really step up and improvethroughout this season, Repsher said. Elizabeth Dieteman,who ended up scoring eight goals and had five assists andAshlei Carlson who was a great, dynamic player for us, fillingin at different positions. Lindsay Hutton also helped out atvarious positions to support the team this season.

Hackettstown will miss the contributions of the seniorclass when they graduate, but they should be ready to take onthe competition in the fall of 2012.

We have a tremendous core of girlscoming back next sea-son, Repsher said. Although we will be missing our fiveseniors, we have a lot of talent, experience and heart return-

ing.

At this workshop, women will learn how

ing situations, as well as how to defendagainst physical attacks.

With the holidays coming up, safety and

awareness are important, says Dave

teach women to go with their instincts and

keep them out of harms way.

With 47 in attendance last year, Ferreira

says he is hoping that more women and girls

hands-on techniques that they will practice

during the workshop.

Women and girls will learn self defense,

how to defend themselves against physical

attacks and weapons, and how to use impro-

vised weapons.

2011 has been a great year for our dealer-

ship, and it couldnt have been done

without the hard work of our team, a

great manufacturer, and most of all, our loyal

clients. Thats The Acura of Denville Family.Much more than a sappy slogan, its a living,

breathing thing. Our in-store environment.

Our staff, many of whom have been with us

well over 10 years. Its the fact that we truly

area family-run business started andstilloper-

ated by my father Jerry, who has always put

the customers needs first. Most of all, The

Acura of Denville Family is the result of our

dedication to our clientele and their loyalty to

our business. Isnt that what family is really

about? Maybe that sounds a little bit mushy,but tis the season

We wish you and your families a great

holiday and a happy and a healthy New

Year!

Steven Lustig, Vice President

Acura of Denville

Acura of Denville Celebrates 23YearsServing Morris County and Beyond

Advent. The word itself suggests asense of anticipation, the promise

of a new beginning, a season of cel-

ebration.

All these attitudes, however, are a chal-

lenge in a world whose focus is on prepar-

ing for the Christmas holiday season,

noted Rev. Dr. Cathy Deats, Rector of St.

James. We especially need this season of

Advent for the hopefulness it provides, the

priorities it rearranges, and the willingness

to trust that all will be well.

St. James is offering its own balm for the

soul with Evening Prayer at 6:30 p.m.,

Monday through Friday, from now until

December 23rd at the churchs chapel,

locate on the corner of Moore and

Washington streets.

As we look at the state of the world, we

may become discouraged, Deats stated.

But there still is a yearning for deliverance

from the evils of our world, and we cele-

brate with gladness that great promise of the

Advent. No matter what life may bring, God

still calls for us to rejoice!

Advent, meaning coming, is the litur-

gical season observed in churches as a time

of expectant waiting and preparation for the

celebration of the Nativity of Jesus at

Christmas. For Christians, the season of

Advent serves as a reminder both of the

original waiting by the Israelites for the

birth of the Messiah and the waiting by

Christians for the return of Christ. The sea-

son of Advent starts out in a somber tone

and, for the first two weeks, purple and blue

are the primary colors used. On the third

Sunday of Advent, pink and rose are the pri-

mary colors. This shift in color symbolizes

change in emphasis from expectation to cel-

ebration.

We encourage the community to come

and immerse themselves in the meaning of

the colors, the quiet liturgy and the won-

drous music that emphasizes this great time

of mystery, Deats concluded. It is an inti-

mate setting that truly characterizes all the

joys and expectations of the year.

local Hyundai deale r, in

Hackettstown, NJ, but the one thing

that sticks out is community creates suc-

cess. Local Hyundai Dealer HackettstownHyundai, Located in Hackettstown, NJ, has

set itself, apart from the rest. NJ-natives

Drew Picon and CJ Meyer treat the dealer-

ship like a community landmark. Yes they

do provide cars to customers, but their cul-

ture is different. Its not about selling a cus-

tomer a vehicle, its about finding the right

reason that Hackettstown Hyundai is the

Fastest growing dealer in the nation. In

addition, they have achieved some great

strides, including, becoming part of the Top

idents, If you want to see what all the hype

A Royal Holiday Feast

by Kearstin Saya, L.Ac.

Theholidaysaremeanttobefull oflove,cheerandspendingtimewithfam-

ilyand friends.Despite thejoy-ful picture that the media por-trays of the holidays, everyonefeels the extra stress leading upto all of the events. All of thehoopla that goes along withtheholidays canputextra pres-sureson us physically, mentallyand financially. During the last

few weeks of the year we areoften overbooking our sched-ules with shopping, holidayparties andeventplanning.Thisalso entails more traffic on theroads, waiting in longer linesand rushing to make ourengagements on time. With allof these added activities andinconveniences, our normalroutines are disrupted, makingus less likely to exercise, eathealthy and get the adequate

rest that we need. This lethalcombination can lead to stress,anxietyanddepression.Acom-bination that prevents us fromfeeling the love and goodcheer and can even make usresent theholiday traditionsandprevent us from taking part inthe festivities.

The hectic lifestyle thatwe live leading up to the hol-idays goes completelyagainst the Acupuncture and

Chinese medical perspec-tive, which believes that weshould actually be conserv-ing our energy during the

winter months. Much likemost of nature goes dormantin the winter; we shouldactually be resting more dur-ing the cold months. Instead,we do the exact opposite andexhaust our internal energyreserves leaving us anxious,stressed and depressed.

Anxiety and stress mani-fests differently in each oneof us and ranges from mildreactions like worry to more

severe symptoms like nau-sea, insomnia, shortness ofbreath, palpitations andpanic attacks. During astressful situation, our bod-ies react involuntarily. Thenervous system responds byreleasing different stress hor-mones like Cortisol andAdrenaline, engaging thebodys fight or flightresponse. In ancient times,this was an advantage for

survival when stressesincluded fleeing from wildanimals that could kill you.The fight or fl ightresponse is a process thattriggers an increase in heartrate, blood pressure and res-piration. So, this responsewas necessary for survivaland could actually save yourlife. The senses are alsoheightened as a response.Unfortunately, this response

still kicks in from stress thatwe experience in everydaylife that may not be lifethreatening. Things like traf-

fic, an angry boss or a fami-ly fight is much differentthan getting chasedby a hun-gry bear, but our bodiesinvoluntarily respond in thesame way. The repeatedactivation of these involun-tary processes puts greatstrain on bodies.

Froman Acupuncture andChinese medical perspec-tive, anxiety and stress isrelated to an imbalance of

energy in the body. In ahealthy person, energy flowssmoothly throughout thebody. Healthy people experi-ence different emotionseveryday, which is a normalpart of life. No one canescape being stressed, wor-ried, angry or sad at certaintimes, but it is when theseemotions are too intense orwhen they are prolongedover a long period of time

that they disrupt the balanceof energy within the bodyand become the cause of dis-ease. This is especially trueif the emotions are notexpressedand arekept insidefor a long period of time.Signs & symptoms of anoveractive response to stress:- Anger - Anxiety -Asthma -Depression - Depressedimmune system - Digestivedisorders - Headaches -

Heart disease - High bloodpressure - Joint pain - Weightproblems

If you are someone who

experiences anyof thesymp-toms above or is simply juststressed out...there is hope.Acupuncture and Chinesemedicine has been helpingpeopleto cope with stressforthousands of years. It canhelp to balance the mentaland physical symptoms ofstress, anxiety and depres-sion. Acupuncture andChinese medicine aims attreating the root cause of the

issue,as well.Bestof all, it isa safe, effective and drug-free treatment!

In addition, here are someways to help combat stressthis holiday seasonas well asin your everyday lifethroughout the year:

1.) Manage your stresswith Acupuncture & herbs!Acupuncture and herbsreduce stress hormones likeCortisol, relax muscle ten-

sion and help restore thebodys balance so that yourbody calms down and evenresponds better to stress inthe future.

2.) Get enough sleep! Tryto get at least 8 hours of rest-ful sleep. Our bodies handlestress much better when weare well rested.

3.) Start your day withmeditation. You dont haveto be an expert to meditate...

but here is a simple tech-nique that will only take afew minutes a day. Inhaleslowly for 10 seconds,

pause, then exhale slowly for10 seconds. Repeat for 5-10minutes each day. You canalso play calming music toenhance relaxation duringyour meditation. Meditationcalms the nerves, reduces therelease of stress hormones inyour body andprevents adre-nal exhaustion.

4.) Drink your stressaway....with Green Tea thisis! Green tea reduces

Cortisol, the hormone thatyour body releases inresponse to stress.

5.) Boost your mood withDiet & Exercise! Increasingyour intake of leafy greenveggies helps your body tostay healthy and deal withstress better. Daily exercisealso helps to reduce Cortisollevels and increases the lev-els of the happy chemicalsin the brain.

6.) Beat Stress WithPositiveThinking!Your con-scious mind can help to con-trol the way that your bodyresponds to stressful situa-tions. Instead of gettingdown on yourself, repeataffirmations like I am fullycapable of handling theobstacles that cross my pathand nothing can stand in myway. Repeating positiveaffirmations also reduces the

levels of Cortisol that arereleased from the adrenalglands.

T

is the season to be busy, helping those in the

communitywith mental illnesses.TheMental

Health Association of Morris County inMountainLakesheldaThanksgivingDinnerlastmonth,

andearlier thismonthhosteda homelessoutreachevent

toprovideservicesto thehomeless.

These services, however, provided by the

MHAMC is not seasonal but rather all year

round. More awareness is needed about the

MHAMC so people in the community can

take advantage of the free services provided

through the non-profit organization.

The Mental Health Association of Morris

County wants to increase awareness in the

community about who they are, what they doand the services they provide.A big part of its

mission is to reduce the stigma associated

with mental illness.

"Often people have a negative viewpoint

of those with mental illnesses," says Louis A.

Schwarcz, president and CEO of MHAMC.

"People of mental illnesses can live in society

and have a normal life. They don't have to live

in jails or shelters. We want to create an envi-

ronment where people are supportive of men-

tal illness.

Founded in 1953, the MHAMC is a 501C3non-profit organization that works to promote

mental health awareness, prevent mental ill-

nesses, and improve the care and treatment of

people in recovery from mental illnesses

through programs of education, direct service,

and advocacy.

Some of the current services include infor-

mation and referral, homeless moutreach, sup-

portive housing, consumer empowerment,

peer to peer support mline, and disaster

response. All services are funded through

state, county and federal dollars as well asfundraising events.

Through nearly a dozen programs,Schwarcz says MHAMC helpsapproximately4,000 people per year in Morris County who

have a mental illness or other problems.With more state dollars recently approved,Schwarcz says the program is nowbeingexpanded to help people discharged fromGreystone ParkPsychiatricHospital in MorrisPlains to provide them with support for hous-ing and services so they can "stay well in thecommunity."

"When a person is sitting in a psychiatrichospital, feeling lonely,

dejected and hopeless, it is the MHAMCstaff that approach them with a hopeful mes-sage," says Schwarcz in a recent newsletter.

"It is the MHAMC worker that tells them thatthey need not despair, that they can have theirself-esteem and their standing in society byleaving thehospital andmovinginto their owncommunity apartment."

The MHAMC recently hosted aThanksgiving Dinner on Nov. 19, from 1 to 4p.m. at the Community Church of MountainLakes. More than 100 people that includedmental health consumers (any individual whoconsumes mental health services), ConsumerAdvocacy Program (CAP), Social Club andother agency programs enjoyed turkey, greenbean casserole, stuffing, gravy, rolls, mashedpotatoes, cranberry sauce, and pies.

"The Thanksgiving Dinner was both theSocial Club program and ConsumerAdvocacy Program," says Christa Simons,MHAMC director of Education andAdvocacy. "It's a combined event each year.Individuals from the Social Club are alsomental health consumers who come from allareas with the main goal of increasing social-ization.

"Mental illness canbe very isolating so this

program helps them connect with other indi-viduals who have mental illness and socialize

Mental Health Association of Morris CountyProvides Free Services

within their community," says Simons.It is a "one day, one-stop event" where

local service providers, or businesses sponsor

the homeless to share information on how tolink them to housing, food, medical services,diabetes screenings, flu shots, housing, socialsecurity, legal advice, haircuts, domestic vio-lence, substance abuse, and more, explainsLisa Falcone, director of Homeless OutreachServices through MHAMC.

"We serve food; we make it a happy day, ahopeful event," says Falcone. "It's been suc-cessfulbecause ithelps so many people in oneday."

Falcone says "we are the lead agency butwe join other agencies in the county so we

show unity as one goal to help the homeless."In 2010, MHAMC provided outreach serv-

ices to 735homeless people. Outof those peo-ple, 47 of them who have a mental illnesswerehoused. "When a person is homeless in atrain station, talking to themselves, pacingbackand forth in obviousdespair,when allthepeople around them walk uncomfortablyaway from them, it is the MHAMC staff thatdoes not walk away from them, but actuallywalks toward them," says Schwarcz in arecent newsletter.

A major fundraiser by MHAMC is the

annual food event- 10th annual Food ForThought- scheduled for June 4, 2012, from 6p.m.to 9 p.m.- atthe BrettonWoods Mansion

in Morris Plains.Over the years, Food for Thought hasgrown to be one of Morris County's premierfundraising events with many of the area'sfinest restaurants offering a "taste" of theirdelicious and diverse cuisine while raisingawareness and vital funds for the MHAMCprograms and services.

NJ State Senator Richard Codey and hiswife are invited as "guests of honor"of the10th anniversary event given their sincereadvocacy efforts and support to the mentalhealth community.

"Food for Thought is our opportunity toreflect and celebrate the positive impact thatwe have on the Morris County mental healthcommunity," say organizers.

"We encourage people to call us or checkout our website," says Schwarcz, "to learnmore about our support so they can livehealthy lives in the community. "Peopleshouldn't lose hope. There is a place wherepeople can turn to cope, recoup and recover."

This is Clyde from Eleventh Hour Rescue. He is a happy, 18

month old Wirehaired Terrier Mix and looks and acts like he could

be a movie star! Hes got that scruffy, cute look thats so adorable

and he knows it too. Hes very affectionate and he is both laid

back and low-energy at times and then very active at other times.

His eyes have that pleading look of please take me home now, Im

ready to go. He loves kids, people and other dogs too. If this is

the right time for you to adopt, then please take a look at adopting

this wonderful dog. To read more about Clyde, to see all of our

adoptable pets, to see our upcoming events, or to make a donation,

please visit: www.ehrdogs.org or call: 973-664-0865.

This is Mack from Eleventh Hour Rescue. He is a young Pit Bull

Terrier mix puppy, abandoned and found as a stray. His ears

appeared to have been badly cropped perhaps by an unscrupulous

owner wanting to use him as a bait dog for fighting. Fortunately,

this little chunky monkey of a puppy is now under the care of

Eleventh Hour Rescue and he is currently at the newly opened

Adoption Center at the Mount Olive, NJ, PetSmart store. He is

all puppy and all about playing with his toys. Hes a very active

young boy on the go and will need lots of fun, love, and play time

wherever he gets adopted. Hes so cute; weve nicknamed him

Mac n Cheese. To read more about Mack, to see all of our

adoptable pets, to see our upcoming events, or to make a donation,

please visit: www.ehrdogs.org or call: 973-664-0865.

Heres Charlotte and Rosie from Eleventh Hour Rescue. Both

girls are Shepherd mixes and they are still puppies at just under 1

year old each. They are sisters and both came from a neglect sit-

uation where they were left unattended outdoors 100% of the time,

in the mud, and in an undersized pen all alone. Charlotte has the

short hair, Rosie has the longer hair. Both girls are very sweet and

are 30-40 lbs. Both are very affectionate and enjoy the company

of people. They do not have to be adopted together. If now is the

time for you to open your heart and your home, please read more

about these wonderful girls on our web site: www.ehrdogs.org or
