New Shoes For Orphans Tops Local Boys Wish List

******ECRWSS****** Local Postal Customer
By Cheryl Conway t was no surprise that 12 year old Alex Bramble of Flanders asked for new shoes again for the holidays, but when he asked for pairs - not for himself- but rather for orphaned boys, the news knocked his mom off her feet! Every year near the holidays, I ask Alex for his wish list, says his mom, Kristi Rexroth. For the past several years he has asked for shoes. Alex couldn't care less about brands or styles of clothing, but athletic shoes are his thing. He loves the Nikes and the high tops. Rexroth explains, This year I asked for his list and expected the same- shoes! After a couple of days, Alex by Jack Mc Cabe he Christmas Tree is a symbol of Christmas, and has been so for many years.

Early Christmas Trees had edible fruits, nuts, dates, cookies, pretzels, and various other treats as decorations. Nothing gives the scenic feeling of the holidays like a Christmas Tree, but where they originally came from is not easy to pinpoint. One explanation for its rise in popularity goes back to the 16th century and the Renaissance period in Germany, where Guild houses became known for having a tree covered with sweets for children and apprentices at Christmas. This tree was also carried continued on page 4

n Tuesday, December 17 at 7:00 pm the Succasunna United Methodist Church, located at 91 Main Street in Succasunna will offer its third annual Longest Night Service. The service, Finding Light in the Darkness is offered to any and all persons in the community who find the holiday season a painful time. During the holiday season, grief, unemployment, ill health, broken relationships, and stress in general can all take a toll, perhaps even more so this year in the wake of Sandy.
Help For Those Struggling During the Holidays

With the seasons emphasis on happiness and joy, on gathering with family and friends, on feasting and exchanging presents, many are continually reminded of what theyve lost or never had to begin with. Persons who are struggling can find help and hope by acknowledging the way things are, and knowing theyre not alone. An ever increasing number of churches in New Jersey are offering Longest Night (sometimes also known as Blue Christmas) services, especially given the recent economic and unemployment conditions. This reflects a growing recognition that, contrary to the claims of songs and cards, Christmastime is not always merry. So the Succasunna United Methodist Church extends an invitation to join in a simple and quiet time of prayer, readings, silent reflection and music reminding us that Gods presence is for those who mourn and those who struggle - and that God can
shine light into our darkness, even and especially near the Longest Night of the year. All persons, of any (or no) church affiliation, are welcome. Pastor Joseph Monahan and Associate Pastor Sharon Yarger will lead the service which will be followed by a brief time of light refreshments. For questions or directions, contact the church at 973-584-7349.
t. Therese Church, located at 151 Main Street in Succasunna has planned Special Advent Programs for your spiritual enrichment. These programs are great for families or individuals that are looking for some quiet time to focus on the TRUEmeaning of the season. All activities occur in the church and no reservations are needed. All are welcomed to attend!! On Friday, December 20th, Come to the Church between 7:30pm and Midnight for A Silent Night Parish Mini Retreat/ Advent Preparation. All are invited for

St. Therese Students Help Feed the Hungry

tudents at St. Therese School in Succasunna participated in the parish annual food drive this year, collecting over 50 bags of food items that were part of the Thanksgiving basket donations. Each grade was asked to contribute a different item to help fill the baskets. All donations went to local residents in Roxbury. This yearly project encourages students at St. Therese to live out their faith by helping individuals and communities in need. The students efforts to help others in the community are part of a year long service initiative to commemorate the 50th anniversary of St. Therese School. The goal is to complete 50 acts of kindness this during this 50th anniversary school year. In addition to collecting food for Thanksgiving, students also collected dental hygiene items for the Philippines and are currently collecting clothes for the relief efforts there. The Quarters for Kenya program, which raises money for their sister school, St. Cecilias in Kenya, is also happening now. More service projects will continue throughout the school year
The Origins of the Christmas Tree...

outside, where people in the town square would dance around it in what became a traditional manner. Though the Christmas Trees became part of German culture in the early 18th century, it did not grow popular very fast, and were found mainly in the houses of European nobility. However, many innovations, including putting presents for children around the tree, gave it another purpose and added more joy to the season. During the Franco-Prussian War of 1870, German soldiers put Christmas Trees in their barracks and military hospitals to add some cheer to the time of year. In the1780s in Canada, soldiers defending Quebec from American soldiers and colonists in the Revolutionary War introduced the Christmas Tree where they were stationed. Before the advent of electricity, the Protestant reformer, Martin Luther, after a walk at night, put candles on a Christmas Tree with wires to brighten it up, using as inspiration the stars shining through the branches of trees. This presented a potentially dangerous situation, as hot candle drippings are not compatible with live trees. But this brought about the tree mat and the tree skirt, both of which caught candle wax. continued from front page The mat protects the floor on which the tree stands, and the skirt hides the bottom of the tree. Electricity eventually replaced candles with tree lights, and though this was a lessdangerous approach, early tree lights were not what anyone considered totally safe. After a slow start in the United States, the popularity of Christmas Trees grew in leaps and bounds at the start of the 20th century. Everything from candy canes to ribbons to bulbs replaced dyed-colored popcorn as ornaments, as the Tree became an integral part of the holiday season. The huge Rockefeller Center tree in New York City also had humble beginnings, as a much smaller first one was put in the ground by construction workers in 1931. Another tree, this time lighted, went up two years later, leading to the behemoth that is now decorated and put up in late November or early December, bringing people from all around. The originality of the Christmas Tree depends on who you talk to or what you read from, and there are many firsts that refer to time periods or occurrences. But as previously stated, the Christmas Tree is a symbol of a happy, wondrous time of year, and let us hope that Christmas always stays this way.

Local administrators were extremely supportive of McMichaels efforts. "Roxbury Public Schools encourages teachers to be leaders by inspiring and empowering learners to flourish as global citizens, said Superintendent of Schools Patrick Tierney. Anthony embodies these ideals and his recent trip to China reflects his commitment to always continue learning. Eisenhower Middle School Principal Scott Shaw added, Mr. McMichael's passion for learning about new places, ideas, and people is inspiring. The students and staff members benefit daily from his generosity of spirit, curiosity, and innovative thinking. McMichael was chosen as a member of the Delegation in conjunction with his work for an education non-profit organization named the Institute for Domestic and International Affairs (IDIA). IDIA facilitates global civics education programs for students, and offers wonderful collaboration opportunities for educators. An IDIA colleague of mine encouraged me to apply to

the Chinese Bridge Delegation program, which is co-sponsored by the College Board and the Confucius Institute Headquarters (Hanban). I was chosen to participate because I wanted to learn about Chinas rich history and culture and share it with our Roxbury students. I was also eager to connect with American and Chinese educators to learn and share ideas about 21st Century educational practices, McMichael explained. The teachers trip across the world was
By Cindy Forrest klahoma Governor Brad Henry once said, A good teacher can inspire hope, ignite the imagination, and instill a love of learning. Recently Eisenhower Middle School Social Studies teacher Anthony McMichael had the opportunity to inspire, ignite and instill the wonders of the world in his students by taking them on the ultimate class trip a visit to Beijing and the Great Wall of China. Of course McMichaels students werent physically present during the expedition however they traveled with him via the Internet and a day by day blog accompanied by photographs taken along the way. Technology allowed McMichael to share the joy, wonder and excitement of his journey with his students in real time. McMichael traveled to China as a member of the 2013 Chinese Bridge Delegation, a weeklong program designed to help educators start or strengthen their institution's Chinese programs and partnerships. From Nov. 6 to 14 teachers from K-12 and higher education institutes had the opportunity to visit Chinese schools, attend cultural events, participate in educational workshops and tour popular attractions all as guests of the Hanban/Confucius Institute Headquarters.\
made with very specific intentions. I had several goals in mind for the experience, said McMichael. As an Ancient Civilizations teacher, I wanted to deepen my understanding of Chinese history and culture. My experience has had an immediate positive impact on student learning in the classroom. I wanted to build my professional network as well. Fortunately, I was able to closely learn, unlearn, and collaborate with a Dream Team of American educontinued on next page

continued from previous cators for an entire week. I also wanted to gain a deepened understanding of the Chinese education system. I was able to meet and collaborate with Chinese students, teachers, and administrators. The professional collaboration opportunities gained through the experience are invaluable. The weeklong journey highlighted the differences and the commonalities between the schools in China and Roxbury Middle School for McMichael and when it was over he was left with extreme pride to be an educator here in New Jersey. Of the disparities he said, There are vast differences between Roxbury schools and the Chinese academic and key schools I had the opportunity to visit. During my Chinese academic and key school visits, I witnessed dozens of students crammed into lecturestyle, teacher driven classrooms. Classroom instruction was driven by rote memorization and standardized test preparation. Very little, if any, interaction between students existed. In Roxbury, students learn to problem solve, think critically, and innovate in collaborative student-centered classrooms. In China, the students I met were learning to beat tests in order to enter universities (preferably American colleges and universities). In Roxbury, students learn to use

curiosity and imagination as tools to collaborate and problem solve. In Roxbury, we are preparing a generation of future innovators. What he found to be the same in the United States and in China is that parents in both countries are passionate about education. Over the past one hundred years, American and Chinese families have had to overcome periods of hardship and adversity such as the Great Depression and the Great Chinese Famine. Parents in both countries want better lives for their children than the lives they and their own parents faced. Although parents from both countries use different educational and cultural means, a bright future for their children is the same end goal, McMichael concluded. Currently Roxbury does not offer Mandarin as a foreign language or cultural program. However since Mandarin is the most widely spoken first language in the world, spoken by one-fifth of the global population, the popularity of studying Mandarin is growing in the United States and in New Jersey so it could be something developed in the future.

A football player for Mt. Olive recreation for the past seven years, Alex has a fetish for basketball sneakers and would have liked the Nike Hyperdunks, he says, but he had a better idea in mind. This year, rather than spending money on me, would you use that money to buy shoes for kids who can't afford them? Alex asks his mom. After researching local charity options, they found St. Peters Orphanage, a residential home for boys, in Denville and decided that would be perfect, says Alex, a seventh grader at Mt. Olive Middle School. Theres a big place in my heart for kids who are in an orphanage, says Alex. I dont know my own father, who lives in Florida. Last time I saw him I was two or three years old. I get what they are going through. On Nov. 7, Alex announced his new shoe drive, Put Your Best Foot Forward. He and his mom contacted the orphanage and attained a list of each boy who resides at the orphanage and his shoe size. Currently there are 14 boys, ages nine to 17, that live at the orphanage. After posting his shoe drive on Facebook as well as the list of shoe sizes being sought, people started to immediately pledge. Since his post, 23 shoes have been donated by members of the community, friends of Alex and his mom. Name brands of the athletic shoes include Adidas, Nike, Reebok and DC shoes. We have plenty left over, says Rexroth. Even a pair of
Local Boys Wish List...
slippers and one pair of dress shoes were donated. The extras were given to the orphanage as a surplus to be used as needed. Out of the shoes donated, Alex gave three pairs in lieu of me buying him shoes, says Rexroth. Then Alex used his own money to buy a pair for an orphan. Alex and his mom delivered the shoes to the orphanage on Friday, Dec. 16. Each child got a new pair of athletic shoes in his size with a card attached from the family that donated it. Because of the rules with confidentiality, Alex knew he would not be able to meet the recipients of his new shoes. He hopes that he can connect to some of them through letter writing or maybe later as a volunteer in their facility. He has a good heart that kid, says Rexroth. I was incredibly proud of Alex. He is a normal, typical 12 year old kid but he has a maturity about it, about having gratitude for the blessings that he has. He does have a conscience and a kind giving heart. Alex says he feels good when he gives to others. It feels really nice, says Alex, baritone and trumpet player in the MOMS band. I know a lot of the kids have to go without a lot of things. They will be grateful that they will be getting a new pair of shoes. Ive begun to understand more, he explains. My family is not the richest family but we have what we need, but not everyone has that. I thought it would be nice to give rather than get like I normally do. Alex credits his upbringing for his kind ways. My mom and my step dad are big influences, says
Alex. Theyve been there for me. Theyve always been nice and kind hearted. Rexroth agrees, We are very civic minded. Hes watched me do a lot of cooking for families. I start cooking food and taking it to families who need it. I grew up with my mom the same way. You just always try to do for others. Its something that resonates with him. Besides being prideful of her son, Rexroth is also super proud of being part of a community thats willing to lend a helping hand. Whether it is a house fire, drowning, a child with cancer or donating new shoes, Our community rallies and they just do it and they help. They, as always, lend a hand, share their good fortune and show their amazing hearts and good will. Alex sees that in our community; it has helped to develop that in him. Its innate in him to have such an awareness toward people who are less fortunate than him, continues Rexroth. When he sees a homeless man in town, Alex talks to him, every time he sees him. It touches his heart. Its what Alexs heart is made of.

This is easily one of the best experiences of my life... I am glad that I packed a few Roxbury t-shirts! GO ROX!! :) As an aside he told students, The food here has been incredible! We have been drinking a lot of tea- they also have Coke and Sprite :) McMichaels shared his adventures at the Beijing Foreign Affairs School; a class in noodle making; a view of the Birds Nest at the 2008 Olympic site; photographs of students and teachers he met along the way; a stop at a Kung Fu school; a look at the Longmen Grottoes; and, a visit to the Confucius Temple. At the Confucius Institute Hanban Museum he wrote, We just visited Hanban headquarters (Hanban is the organization that is hosting our delegation). Inside there is an awesome museum. I was able to see an authentic oracle shell, and one of Shi Huangdi's terra cotta warriors! From Bejing the delegation traveled to Zhengzhou High School #47.

The delegation was treated to a night of theater. We just saw a beautiful outdoor show on a stage set deep in the mountains of the Henan Province- pictures cannot capture how breathtaking it was- we all agreed that it made Broadway shows look tiny... Interacting with the kids was one of the highlights of the trip. I loved the kids at this school! The first picture is with a dancer who performed for us. The second picture is with an extremely giggly group of kids- I convinced the front row to flex with me in the picture. The final picture shows me signing autographs - all of the kids really wanted American autographs, and they went nuts when I handed out a few business cards to them :) Too soon it was back to Beijing. We are about to board a plane back to Beijing! The Henan Province was beautiful, its history is incredible, and the hospitality and generosity of its people will always be remembered... McMichaels observed, On the road to Remnin University in Beijing for a visit!
Cars are everywhere in the city. For people living in the city, the commute to work can take hours because of the heavy congestion! Goodbye China. What an incredible week! Time for our 14 hour flight back to the United States. It's pretty cool that we are leaving Beijing on Nov 14 at 5:00pm and arriving in Newark NJ on Nov 14 at
5:55pm. A one hour flight? Traveling through time zones is fun :) The impact of McMichaels blog on his students was epitomized in a comment shared by on of his students, who wrote We are excited to see your adventures and follow your experiences.

By Cheryl Conway n just one week, students and families of the Nixon Elementary School in Landing collected hundreds of items for a Roxbury alumnus and his platoon who is serving overseas. The collection was held Nov. 4 to Nov. 12, and students and their families were asked to donate a variety of new items for Sean Milde, a first lieutenant ranger in the United States Army currently serving in Afghanistan. Seans mother, Maureen Milde, works as a second grade teacher at Nixon School. About 350 students, teachers and staff showed their support and appreciation to the U.S. military on Tuesday, Nov. 12, during its annual Veterans Day Celebration. Nine veterans- family members of students- were invited to attend to be recognized and honored during the ceremony. A few of them even shared some stories about their experiences while in the service. The service that the men and women provide to our country is greatly appreciated, says Danielle Lynch, Nixon School principal. The school holds the program every year to raise our students awareness and appreciation to those who have served our country and the sacrifices theyve made. It takes many individuals to give us the freedom that we know and to protect us. Its only right to show appreciation to these individuals and what they give to us. Its also an opportunity to honor specific family members of Nixon School students who served their country or are currently serving. The celebration raises awareness that veterans are here and now and part of the past, says Lynch. Students were asked to sign a certificate of appreciation and present it to their family member during the presentation. Veterans who attended included Salvatore Atanasio,

ice to protect America and wanted to thank him in some way. A teacher at Nixon since 1996, Maureen Milde, was called to the podium and presented with the collection during the program. Milde's second grade class of 18 students sang Sean and his friends a special army song, to thank them and she was able to videotape it with her phone and send it to him via text message. Its hard for one of our own to have their son fighting over there, and shes here teaching our kids, says Kemmerer. Milde was pleased that the school recognized her son, who she worries about but is hopeful for his safe return. I worry about him a lot, says Milde. Its scary; I hope hes safe over there as I do all the soldiers over there. Theyve been trained for this; hopefully he will come home safe. Having the Veterans program, I thought that was a wonderful thing that Danielle Lynch did, says Milde. That our community can come together and support our troops. Outside of the program Milde has received support from the school community. A fifth grader gave her a worry doll. Her class mailed Thanksgiving cards to her sons troops too. The environment is very nice and understanding, says Milde. The Veterans program gives the students a realization that this is going on. They find out about the different branches of the armed forces. Students get a realization and understanding that we have these freedoms in this country. The 45-minute program also included a slide show, music and Cub Scout Pack 188, Den 9, posted colors and retired the flag.

An accomplished athlete and National Honor Society student Artigliere is thrilled by his acceptance into the Ivy League school. From the beginning Cornell was at the top of my list, he said noting that the school offers the combination of wrestling and academics that he sought. I wanted a school with a great wrestling team and an excellent science program, Artigliere explained, because I want to go on to medical school. Currently he has his sights set on becoming an orthopedic surgeon. But I know that could still change, he laughed. Artigliere began his wrestling career at age 4, in the midget program. I like going out and competing one on one, he said, there is no one to rely on but myself. His father recalls, I realized that Dillon was a gifted athlete when he was around 6 or 7 years old. He has always had an uncanny knack for knowing what it takes to win a match. But, as good as he is, he still somehow manages to overachieve, and to surprise me each step of the way, with his talent and his accomplishments.

Dillon is Going to Cornell!
By Cindy Forrest oxbury High School student Dillon Artigliere is seeing red. Its not the upcoming holiday season thats coloring his vision its The Big Red wrestling team from Cornell University, which Artigliere will be joining next year. On November 25 Roxbury High School, one of the top high schools in the state of New Jersey, hosted a Letter of Intent/College Commitment Ceremony for Artigliere the 2013 NJSIAA Wresting Tournament champion. Surrounded by fellow students, teachers, coaches, administrators, his sister and parents Artigliere celebrated his achievement. I am ecstatic that Dillon is going to Cornell. He is going into one of the best wrestling programs in the country, and also one of the best academic institutions. I am looking forward to seeing Dillon compete at the D1 level, and for him to try to reach his goal of becoming a national champion, said his dad Ralph. It is also very exciting that he will be part of team that will be in a position to compete for national championships. The Artiglieres recognized the school districts staff, which was an integral part of this success story. Dillon, my wife and my family are extremely grateful to his coach-
hard at it, Dolan said. He is a tremendous young man, who embodies what a student athlete should be, excelling in the classroom and on the mat. His team mates also recognized that something special in Artigliere voting him into the leadership role as wrestling team captain two years in a row. Now going into his senior year Artigliere has already set the school record for the most wins, qualifying to compete in the
state finals in Atlantic City during the past three years. As a sophomore he came in fifth in the states, Dolan explained proudly, and last year he had 43 wins, zero losses and finished first in the state in his weight class. Dillon winning the states was the thrill of my life, by far, said his mother Amy. It was absolutely surreal. Eight months later, I still smile when I think about it. continued on next page

"Dillon is the epitome of what we want an athlete to be at Roxbury. He's outstanding in the classroom, on the mat, with his teammates and in the community," said RHS Director of Athletics Stuart Mason. Artigliere is part of a prestigious athletic

Artigliere's commitment to Cornell University, however, puts him a league of his own. "What is really unique about him is that he is the first Roxbury wrestling state champion to go to an Ivy League school," said RHS Principal Jeffrey Swanson. "This really speaks to his academic acumen as well as his physical prowess." Artigliere will be joining not only a prestigious academic university but a sports program steeped in tradition and success. Meeting with the Cornell coaches, and hearing about their system, the things that they do to accommodate each wrestlers individual abilities, and the resources that they have available, was mind- boggling, said his father. The Cornell wrestling program began in 1907. For the past nineteen years, Big Red Head Coach Rob Koll has led the team to five top-five finishes in the NCAA Division I wrestling tournament, including second place finishes in 2010 and 2011 Outside of the NCAA tournament, Cornell wrestling also obtained ten consecutive Ivy League titles and six consecutive Eastern Intercollegiate Wrestling Association titles in 2012. These streaks remain the longest in wrestling history for their respective divisions.

This past July, I lost my grandma to pancreatic cancer. It was very hard on my family. It is one of the deadliest and most underdiagnosed cancers so we felt it was important to raise awareness and contribute to the fight, Mirsky said. While donating half of whats raised goes to the Lustergarten Foundation, the group has chosen to give the other half of its donations to St. Judes, known for its work with pediatric cancers. No one should have to go through the pain and suffering caused by cancer, especially kids. If the money we raise helps to ease their pain, even just a little, then that makes me happy. It feels good to help, said Mirsky. Also making them feel good, is the response Team K.A.S.H. has been getting to its fundraising efforts. We received the most heartfelt letter and generous donation in the mail from a friend of my moms that has a seven year old daughter who fought and kicked leukemias butt and is now considered cancer free. That letter really touched our hearts and made us feel so proud of what we are doing, said Friedman. Everyone that I asked to donate was so impressed that we made all those bracelets. They know how time consuming it is to make one and they couldnt believe that we made so many. Some people just wanted to donate money and didnt even want a bracelet because they know that St. Jude Childrens
By Elsie Walker ummer Friedman, Alaina Miele, Hannah Mirsky, and Kimberly Griff have been spending their Friday nights together doing something special. Its not watching video games or movies or going shopping. These seventh graders from Mt. Olive Middle School have been making bracelets for a cause. Team K.A.S.H.(Kimberly, Alaina, Summer, Hannah), as they call themselves, is using holiday-colored red and green fishtail design rainbow loom bracelets to raise money for St. Judes Children's Research Hospital and for the Lustgarten Foundation (funding Pancreatic cancer research). The team is asking for a suggested donation of $3 per bracelet. The bracelets are being sold through Facebook to family, friends, and neighbors. There are still bracelets available. Those interested in purchasing one or making a donation toward the cause, can send an email to deefried29@yahoo.com. Since my fundraiser for breast cancer [in October] was such a success (she raised just over $400 making pink bracelets), I thought that it would be a great idea to do another fundraiser along with some of my friends so we could make more bracelets and hopefully make more money to put towards important causes. Weve made over 200 bracelets in hopes of raising at least $600, shared Summer Friedman. The cause, fighting cancer, is one close to Friedman and her friend, Mirsky. Both lost

One mom said what a great project for my friends and I to do and how great and unselfish we were to spend so much time making the bracelets instead of doing other things. Some people had a connection with St. Jude Childrens Hospital and were planning on making a donation, so they were so happy to donate the money to my friends and I for this project, shared Griff. Reflecting on what theyre doing, Miele
Team K.A.S.H. shows some of the bracelets its made to raise money for the Luftgarten Foundation and St. Jude's Children's Research Hospital. shared how it felt to help and encouraged other youth to get involved in similar projects: I would say that fundraising is fun and with the help and support of family and friends, it's a good deed that makes you feel good to know youre helping other people in need. I would recommend to other kids to make fundraising efforts because it will make them feel good about themselves while raising money for a good cause that they believe in. It's nice knowing you can make a difference in someone's life.

Ever Wonder About...

by Jack Mc Cabe mmortalized by the great film in 1992 called A League of Their Own, starring Geena Davis, Madonna, and Tom Hanks, among many others, the womens first professional league came about with World War II as the background for what was a very successful endeavor. Phillip Wrigley, owner of the major League baseball Chicago Cubs, along with several others, were concerned about the effects of a world war in national ballparks, what with many of our nations youth going off to foreign lands to fight as soldiers. Attendance dwindled with the level of play in Americas ballparks, and with a war on, most people didnt have a lot of money to spend on entertainment anyway. But something had to be done. It was decided to start a womens league in the Midwest in 1943 to try and bring some revenue back into the game. Wrigley financed the non-profit organization, while Ken
The First Womens Professional Baseball League

Sells was the leagues first president. Women turned out in droves for try-outs in most major cities, then some 200 players showed up in Chicago to try-out for the final 60 that would make the four teams slated for league play. The teams were made to be even so competition would be at its highest peak, as Racine, South Bend, Kenosha, and Rockford formed their players and prepared to get the games underway. Each team had 15 players, a manager, a business manager, and a ladies chaperone. It was a rocky start, as most people didnt think women could play after they had seen the major league ball teams. But they proved the spectators wrong, as players in the first AllAmerican Girls Softball League, as it was then called, started filling the seats in ballparks with their competitive and spirited play that gained more and more fans. At first, the game was a combination of baseball and softball, and while under major league baseball rules, pitching was underhand and runs shorter between the bases. Later the game became more baseball-like, with overhand pitching, a smaller ball, and longer spaces between bases to allow stealing by runners. With patriotism running high throughout the nation because of the war, the baseball players were also very patriotic, as at each game the girls formed a V for Victory along the first and third-base lines before the National Anthem. The league itself also played a critical part as a kind of outlet in the lives of the women, as many of them had husbands in the military service, and never knew when they would get a message saying that their spouse was
killed during the war. In that first season, the teams played 108 games with a champion decided at the end by a 5-game series between the two top teams. In that series, the Racine Belles defeated the Kenosha Comets to become the World Champions. But the organization was much more than that, as the AllAmerican Girls Professional Baseball League, as it came to be called after a number of name changes and expansion, provided a quality product at a time of great national stress. The women in that first league set a precedent for fine play and competition that was followed by every team through the final year in 1954.

It appears that he either was hit by a car or suffered some hard trauma where his femur is pushing up out of his hip socket. He needs to have surgery to repair this and alleviate his pain. We are happy to report that Kona is currently undergoing that surgery now and is expected to make a full recovery. Eleventh Hour Rescue is currently looking for donations to help offset the $2,600 cost of his treatment. Please consider helping towards his care.

A D
rtist in Residence Steve Jaskowak recently returned to Ceramics III class for the second Alternative Firing Techniques workshop. Students learned advanced glazing technique through demonstrations of dipping and pouring from buckets of glaze that were mixed during the first visit. They learned how to prepare the clay surface using the "terra sigillata" technique so that it will accept metal oxides and chemical salts giving more choices of surface decoration. Each student received a critique
of their work and discussed with the artist options for glazing. Since the workshop, students have been applying what they've learned, recording the process, and their experience in their sketchbooks. The dates have been set for the third and final workshop, the RHS outdoor Raku Firing.Wednesday, December 18 is our first choice. January 3, is the second choice and January 7 is the third choice. As always, the dates are tentative depending on weather conditions and the RHS A/B day schedule.

Nixon Third Graders Raise Awareness, Money For Typhoon Victims

Philippines. As survivors of Hurricane Sandy last year, these eight year olds know what its like to be storm victims and recipients of help from others. The focus for our project is on Typhoon Haiyan in the Philippines because of the connections we have to our experiences during this same time of year, last year with Hurricane Sandy, says Nixon third grade teacher Jessica Lima. We would like to show our gratitude and thanks for being lucky enough to have had Franklin School take us in last year to continue our learning, along with our gratitude for the many who were there for us during that difficult time, by aiding those in need in the Philippines today. We feel that we can show our appreciation in supporting the Filipino children by collecting any funds or just raising awareness for them, to support their efforts to begin rebuilding their community and lives, says Lima of Chatham. A letter was sent home on Nov. 18 to all parents of the Nixon school community asking for donations. In that letter to parents, third graders say We learned about the impact that our community could have in aiding another culture and community far away. We want to spread our knowledge outside of our classrooms into our school community and hopefully the knowledge will continue to grow beyond our school walls too. They also provided background on the typhoon, stating that Most of the buildings, including homes, hospitals, and schools, were completely destroyed. We can make a connection to this storm if we think about the damage caused in New Jersey by Hurricane Sandy last year (imagine Hurricane Sandy at the beach times 10). Now that the storm has passed many people are homeless, without food, water, and other things they need to survive. In addition since many of the schools were destroyed, children cannot continue their education, while last year we were lucky enough to have Franklin Elementary School take us in to continue learning during Hurricane Sandy. As a volunteer in Central America twice, Lima selected this service-learning project for the victims of Typhoon Haiyan, the strongest storm in 2013 which hit the Philippines on Nov. 8. I felt as though my students could benefit from practicing their academic
By Cheryl Conway hird graders at Nixon Elementary School are learning the lesson of paying it forward by raising money and awareness for the victims of Typhoon Haiyan in the Philippines. The students are involved in a service-learning project, for the Philanthropy Philippines, and are collecting coins to help those affected by the catastrophic storm that hit the islands of that country last month. Since Nov. 14, three third grade classes have been collecting pennies, nickels, dimes and quarters at the school. Money, which will be collected up until Dec. 20, will be donated to Save the Children, an organization that acquires supplies for schools, food and water and other necessary supplies for displaced families in the

more importantly to support a community in desperate need, she says. continued on next page
Page 20, December 2013, Tell Them You Saw It In The Roxbury News Like us on facebook www.facebook.com/mypaperonline continued from previous The third grade teachers plan to utilize some academic skills as part of the project. Cleaning the coins first will serve as a science lesson for the students and counting the money will be designed as a math lesson, says Lima. Our third graders have been learning about the continents, diverse cultures, and different types of communities in Social Studies. We have also been deepening our understanding of place value and multiplication in Math. We imagined if every school in America raised $5 how incredibly helpful that would be for the Filipino community, says Lima. We would like to do our part in raising any amount we can. The best way to learn is by applying the learned skills in real life scenarios, which is also what we are doing through various activities. Their most important goal, the true lifelong learning, comes from the students participation in a cause grounded in helping and supporting those in need, says Lima. Learning good character and positive habits of mind is a life-long skill. Nixon Principal Danielle Lynch takes

pride in the students efforts. When a catastrophe happens, many people want to do something to help those who are suffering, says Lynch. From this want grows the plan to take action and that is exactly what our third grade team has done. The Nixon School teachers have helped to raise awareness regarding this devastating event and in the process, they have helped the third grade students to make personal connections with those who have been impacted by the typhoon. In turn, the students have developed a desire to help. This idea of Kids Helping Kids is a theme that we took on last year at Nixon School, says Lynch. In just the past two years, we have raised funds for JDRF, Autism Speaks, and St. Jude Children's Hospital. The current efforts aimed at providing desperately needed relief to children and families impacted by Typhoon Haiyan is another extraordinary cause for our students to support. It is through this support that our students are growing as global and ethical citizens; citizens who are seeking to make a positive difference in our world and in the lives of others.
Outreach Program Assists Growing Number of Homeless People in County
By Cheryl Conway lmost half of the homeless people in Morris County made a hopeful connection for a better life on Thursday, Dec. 5, after attending an outreach program. Held annually in Morris County for the past five years, Project Homeless Connect (PHC) pointed atleast 169 people in the right direction. The event which is hosted by the Mental Health Association of Morris County - was held at St. Peters Episcopal Church in Morristown from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. A national day of hope that provides assistance and services to people who are homeless, this years event was needed more than ever with the significant increase in the homeless population in Morris County since 2012. This year it is more relevant than ever as there has been a huge increase in homeless people needing assistance in Morris County, says Barb Flynn, director of Development of the MHAMC. This is especially poignant as many residents of Morris County dont even realize that there are homeless folks here. Although hosted by the MHAMC, the outreach program incorporates the efforts of non-profit social service agencies throughout the county, providing the most assistance to those in need all in one place. Participants
learn about obtaining shelter, financial resources, medical care, domestic violence, mental health, substance abuse and more. Participants accomplish in a day what might normally take months, according to the MHAMC in Mountain Lakes. Although it is geared mostly to the homeless, the event is opened to others who are at risk of losing their home, have received an eviction notice, faced trauma or a health issue, or are barely making ends meet so they can learn about food pantries, says Falcone. More than 50 volunteers were scheduled to staff the event; food donations were given from Starbucks, Costco, and Apple Spice Junction in Parsippany; free haircuts by local salons; and free coats were donated by the Morris County Chamber of Commerce from its coat drive at its November Business Connections meeting. Some of the agencies at the event included Community Hope, Jersey Battered Womens Services, Legal Services of Northwest Jersey, Market Street Mission, 211- First Call for Help, and Office of Temporary Assistance. The day is supposed to be about celebrating the people who are coming in, says Lisa Falcone, director of Homeless Outreach

We want them to feel cared about and provide a welcoming environment. Reaching all the homeless people in Morris County can be difficult. Many learn about PHC through soup kitchens, service providers, flyers and word of mouth. At last years event, about 200 homeless people attended. This year, MHAMC helped with transportation getting more people to the event from areas such as the Dover Soup Kitchen and other rooms in the community, says Falcone. Homeless individuals who attend PHC can expect to be linked immediately to temporary assistance for shelter, and

Each participant is given a card that requires them to visit a certain number of agency service providers on site in order to be eligible to receive a free gift at the end. Each participant also receives a mental health assessment and if a person meets the criteria they will be enrolled into the MHAMC program for services. Our goal is that no one leaves there without shelter and services from agencies that they need, says Falcone. They leave with more information on how to access services. In addition to shelter, services and information, participants get sleeping bags, blankets, coats, gloves, hats, toiletries, shoes, socks, hand warmers, underwear, dental services and even a haircut. We can direct them on where they can get more of what they need, says Falcone. Its really important to really help

get what they need. We offer people an opportunity to get a shower at Market Street Mission so they can feel dignified. Falcone says, The day was very successful. Many guests were linked directly to services: the Child and Family Resources saw 150 guests; Zufall Health Center saw 152 guests; Homeless Solutions saw 73 guests; The Jersey Battered Womens Services (JBWS) saw 101 guests; Hispanic Affairs saw 57 guests; NewBridge Services saw 102 guests; Legal Services saw over 70 guests; Market Street Mission saw 73 guests; and more than 60 guests received free haircuts from Cuts 4U of Rockaway and Laboratory Hair Studio of Morristown. The MHAMC Outreach Program is following up with several individuals that meet criteria for services. The HOMI case manager completed the opening paperwork for two men that are sleeping outside. We are working on a plan for continued shelter placement so that they do not stay outside, says Falcone. With statistics that show that the number of homeless people in Morris County is up, Falcone says there is a greater need for the MHAMC to reach even more people through outreach programs. According to the Point in Time Count according to the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) regulations, on Jan. 30, 2013, there were 346 homeless men, women and children counted in Morris County. Homelessness in Morris County has been on the rise over the last three full HUD count years with an overall increase of 12.7 percent. In 2012, the PITC was 281 homeless people in Morris County, compared to 317 in 2011. The economy, rise in affordable housing, and high cost of utilities are some factors adding to the increase of homeless people in Morris County. The cost of the rental market is rising, says Falcone. Five years ago, rent was a lot less. Falcone says it is difficult for people to afford to live in Morris County with their current income, and just as difficult for those on social security. It is a reality that the cost of housing here has gone up, says Falcone. The only affordable apartments are on the outskirts where there is little transportation, which does not work since most homeless people do not own a car. People are more challenged in getting jobs more than they were before, says Falcone, and if they are getting a job can they afford whats out there? People are working two jobs. Moving to a more affordable area is not always the best answer, says Falcone, because people want to stay where they come from, even more so when they get services provided to them by agencies such as MHAMC. Once you get connected you want to continue those services that youve been linked to and the services that you need, says Falcone. To reach the growing number of homeless, the MHAMC is increasing its outreach methods. There is now a drop-in center, Ednas Haven at Trinity Lutheran Church in Dover which is open from 12:30 p.m. to 4 p.m., Monday through Friday, for individuals to stop by for services such as food stamps, job referrals or are isolated. The county has recently rewritten its homeless plan, says Falcone, and is constantly revisiting and coordinating whats needed. I dont know what the answers are going to be. We are still helping people. There are a lot of successes but can we reach everybody? PHC began in 2004 when San Francisco wanted to provide necessary services to the homeless in their city. It grew into a national event and has been in Morris County for the past five years. Founded in 1953, the MHAMC is a 5013 non-profit organization that works to promote mental health awareness, prevent mental illnesses, and improve the care and treatment of people in recovery from mental illnesses through programs of education, direct service, and advocacy.

Be A Holiday Guest - They Have Decked The Walls of Thomas Edisons Family Home Just For You!
Mina would also raise three of her own children at Glenmont which became the family home where guests and family gathered for the Holidays. Edison was notorious for being preoccupied with his lab work and barely spent time in his home just one mile away. However, he was fully present and an involved dad with his family during Christmas festivities. Mina meticulously planned a traditional family Christmas with all the wrapped presents under the tree, decorating the home in festive trimming and providing a wonderful Christmas dinner in the 30 seat dining room to guests and family. Now you can experience the Edison Family Holiday home for yourself. Here is what the NPS staff has prepared for this festive Edison Home Tour: Holidays at Glenmont November 29, 2013 through January 5, 2014 The sights and sounds of the season will greet visitors when they come to Thomas Edisons Home in Llewellyn Park during Holidays at Glenmont. The home will be decorated much as it was while the Edison family lived there. Favorite musical pieces will be playing and greenery and red poinsettias will deck the mantles above the fireplaces. Staircases will be ringed with boughs and red ribbon bows and wreaths
by Michele Guttenberger homas Edison a widower with three children, found love again with the intuitive young Mina Miller. They married on February 24, 1886. He was 39 and she was 20 years old. He gave her an outstanding wedding gift - a beautiful Jersey countryside estate called Glenmont. It is nestled in the exclusive gated Llewellyn Park section of West Orange. Glenmont is a 29-room Queen Anne-style home resting on 15 acres of land and only one mile from Edisons labs and factories which is now the Edison Museum. The 1886 wedding gift to his bride (he affectionately called Billie) sold for $125,000 less than half the price it sold for only a few years prior. The former owner Henry C. Pedder was forced to relinquish his assets due to an embezzlement conviction. Edison was ecstatic over the Glenmont estate purchase. His quote - ''When I entered this I was paralyzed. To think that it was possible to buy a place like this, which a man with taste for art and a talent for decoration had put years of enthusiastic study and effort into -- too enthusiastic, in fact -the idea fairly turned my head and I snapped it up. It is a great deal too nice for me, but it isn't half nice enough for my little wife here.''
will hang in every window. In the Den, the majestic 10 foot tree will be lit and the presents underneath will be waiting as if the Edison children Madeleine, Theodore and Charles, will soon come running down the stairs from their rooms - after theyve checked their stockings in the upstairs Living Room! Family china will be displayed on the Dining Room table and the scene will be completed with holiday cards that were received by the Edisons. The Holidays at Glenmont guided tours will be offered on Fridays, Saturdays
and Sundays between 11:00 a.m. and 3:00 p.m. through January 5, 2014. Tickets must be purchased at the Laboratory Complex Visitor Center at 211 Main Street on the day of your visit. The Visitor Center is open from 10:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. Tickets for each tour are limited and Holidays at Glenmont is very popular, so make sure to pick up your tickets early. Most tours sell out by early afternoon. The $7.00 ticket (under age 16 is free) also includes a visit to the Laboratory Complex. Come spend the day!
