This is an organization that brings shoes to individuals all around the world, any where from New Orlenes, Mexico to India. Many of these donated shoes will be the first pair of shoes for individuals around the world. For a small troop of only 9 girls they collected over 75 pairs of shoes.

Local Businesses Make It their Business to Interconnect With Area Chamber of Commerce

By Cheryl Conway weeting, texting, emailing and linking may be the in, but nothing compares to the face to face networking with a solid handshake and an exchange of a business card. Marketing in the Morning is a premier event of the Mt. Olive Area Chamber of Commerce (MOACC) and has been the best tool to connect businesses and share ideas. Held once a month, every third Wed. from 7:15 a.m. to 9 a.m., Marketing in the Morning celebrates its third year anniversary next month in April. The in-person business marketing meeting is open to all businesses and attracts atleast 50 businesses per meeting. The program allows businesses to network with other local businesses in a relaxed atmosphere to share ideas and methods of improving their service. Its all about building the network, says Greg Stewart, past president of the MOACC. We want folks to know what people do. We go out and meet with people. We try to promote businesses doing business together.

Stewart says, We do push the fact of getting to know the people from other businesses rather than communicating through an email. Business owners swap cards at the Marketing in the Morning Program so they can connect and find ways to work together, talk about businesses and themselves. You dont have to be scared to network, says Stewart, with the loose but formal atmosphere of Marketing in the Morning program, which is at a different location every month. We try to break down the walls; dont be afraid; networking can be a good thing. The MOACC was formed in the 1950s and has grown in its membership and programs. What began with 15 members involved in Marketing in the Morning three years ago, has grown to 50 members. We are now over 100 members, says Stewart. The MOACC is one of the largest in the state, incorporating the greater Mt. Olive area as well as drawing in members from three other counties including Morris, Sussex and Warren. continued on page 12

artists, and food lovers around the world gather to celebrate the book arts and the (literal!) ingestion of culture. Participants create an "edible book," which can be inspired by a favorite tale, involve a pun on a famous title, or simply be in the shape of a book (or scroll, or tablet, etc). All entries will be exhibited, documented, then EATEN! Photographs of all edible books will appear in the Edible Book Festival gallery (http://www.books2eat.com/) and on the Library website (www.wtpl.org). Over the years, "edible books" have been made across the country at different institutions from cake, breadsticks, chocolate, veggies, and matzo meal. Every entry provides not only some artsy good fun with a dash of creativity, but the promotion of libraries through community engagement. You don't have to be a food artist to sign-up! Adults, families and any group of any size are encouraged to enter. Members of the community are encouraged to attend, ogle the edible art, and vote for their favorite entries. This is a family-friendly event, so

bring the kids! Shoprite Certificates and other prizes will be awarded in multiple categories. Categories to be judged this year include Best Use of Chocolate, Most Literary, Most Creative, Most Unusual Use of Food, Best Non-Cake Book. Entry forms may be picked up at the Library and soon will be online at the Library website, www.wtpl.org. Go to www.books2eat.com for ideas! Please contact Mrs. Gold at the Library at 908-876-3596.

Page 10, March 2014, Tell Them You Saw It In The Black River News Like us on facebook www.facebook.com/mypaperonline As New Jerseys only Republican on the House Energy and Commerce Committee, Leonard Lance has consistently supported an all-of-the-above energy policy that will help lower energy costs, create jobs and reduce our dependence on foreign sources of oil. Leonard has voted repeatedly to expedite the approval of the Keystone XL pipeline, twice voted to stop Obamas cap-and-trade proposals, voted against a carbon tax, voted to expand on-shore and off-shore U.S. energy production, create new jobs and streamline government red tape and regulations and voted to expedite natural gas pipeline approvals that will help lower energy bills for New Jersey households and businesses. Leonard recently voted against Obamas request to raise the debt limit. He has voted more than 50 times against Obamacare. He voted against pay raises for members of Congress and federal employees. And Leonard Lance has returned nearly $250,000 in unspent office funds for deficit reductions. Thats putting YOUR money where your mouth is. Leonard Lance has joined fellow conservative lawmakers in support of the STOP Act (H. Res. 442) to rein in an out-of-control executive branch who has far exceeded its constitutional limits at nearly every turn. Just last week, Leonard voted to stop Obamas Internal Revenue Service from attempting to silence American citizens who merely seek to exercise their constitutionally-protected right to freedom of speech. His consistent conservative record is exactly why voters in the 7th Congressional District have overwhelmingly reelected Leonard Lance for Congress in both 2010 and 2012. Todd Mitchell Chief of Staff Rep. Leonard Lance

t was disappointing to read Tom Lotitos factually inaccurate opinions about Congressman Leonard Lance. Leonard has consistently and tirelessly fought against the reckless policies of the Obama Administration. He is a perfect fit for Morris County voters residing in New Jerseys 7th Congressional District. Influential conservative groups like Club for Growth, Heritage Action and the American Conservative Union have rated Leonard Lance and Scott Garrett as New Jerseys top two most conservative members of Congress. National Right to Life has endorsed Leonard Lance for his pro-life votes in Washington. The National Rifle Association also endorsed Lance for his strong Second Amendment record. Despite Mr. Lotitos assertions, Leonard Lance never voted for Obamas Farm bill he voted against it. And not only did Lance oppose the trillion dollar farm bill but he voted for an amendment that would have eliminated the so-called Christmas tree tax. Tom Lotito is just dead-wrong on this issue.

Imagine thirty to forty years ago if you were told that lasers would replace scalpels in surgery or that robotic instruments would build cars; you may not have believed it. By the same token would you believe that chiropractic treatments could be performed using a special hand-held instrument developed by NASA scientists; all while you were sitting in an upright position without turning or twisting movements? Advances in computers and engineering technologies have been able to uniquely blend with chiropractic in order to both analyze and treat the human body in such a way that was never before realized. According to Dr. Michael S. Hyjek, This new form of computerized treatment is so gentle and effective, that it amazes even the most skeptical patients. Its called the ProAdjuster and is the latest, state-of-the-art technology in existence today, and the only one in the Long Valley area The ProAdjuster can safely and gently analyze and treat the spine and other joints to remove the nerve impingement that is often the cause of pains in the low back, neck, shoulder and elsewhere in the body. It also works on a variety of muscular conditions to loosen tight muscles with ease and comfort. Many patients say that its like getting a mini-massage. It can also help increase the amount of motion in almost any joint. Even patients with knee, hip and foot problems such as plantar fasciitis are being helped. It is also covered by most insurance companies including medicare. Dr. Michael S. Hyjek, the secret to the ProAdjuster lies in its advanced piezoelectric sensor that is able to detect the slightest amount of restriction in a joint and then deliver an extremely precise adjustment. He says that Even though traditional forms of adjusting also work, people are drawn to this new technique

Interconnect With Area Chamber...


Four years ago, MOACC leaders changed focus to our members, explains Stewart. Its all about bringing value to the members. MOACC President Peter King says, the shift came and we looked at it as a business, came up with ideas and through that came the growth. The whole attitude changed, What can we do for you? Thats how you should run life. How can we help? Its going to come back to you. If you are going to help others, its going to come back to you. The MOACC turned its focus on how it can help the small businesses, start-up companies and larger corporations. Based in Mt. Olive, the Chamber then pushed out to reach businesses in Long Valley and Chester. A monthly Lunch and Learn business education series, held every fourth Tuesday, was added two years ago to discuss issues such as taxes and social media. A young Professionals Group began last year and is held monthly every second Thursday to help those under 40 to establish their business network. The MOACC found out what the larger employers needed and thus last year established the Business Executive Council, which is held quarterly for larger business executives to discuss businesses and projects, such as waste management, recycling, ride sharing and community service projects. Other events include an annual Breakfast with the Mayor; Annual Awards Dinner to recognize business person continued from front page and humanitarian of the year, and present $1,000 scholarship to an outstanding Mt. Olive High School senior in the business program, set for June 10, at Centenary College in Hackettstown; Legislative Dinner with congressman and state senators in Sept.; and Holiday Dinner in December. While other local area chambers do exist, Stewart says the MOACC offers more events. Our focus is different, says Stewart, owner of Nexben Management business consulting firm in Mt. Olive. We have a wide variety of events. We work together as a business community. We work together business to business. We are small business owners and we try to promote that. Competitors could be complimentary, says Stewart. They could be of value to you. Web developers have partnered up to do business together; they refer to each other. As an all volunteer chamber, the MOACC volunteers its time to make it happen, says Stewart. We dont charge a lot of money to be a member, with basic membership costs of $100. The challenge with volunteers is to make it succeed and continue on that path, says Stewart who chairs the MOACC Executive Business Council. The work the 11 board members put in is a little hidden; all that volunteer time that goes unrecognized. Goals are to continue the growth of Young Professionals, attract larger businesses, sustain membership and increase from 100 members to 140, says Stewart, who has been involved with the MOACC for seven years, and the Morris County Chamber of Commerce for nine years. Although Stewart says, Im giving up business time to make this successful, all of his volunteer time with the MOACC has been worth it. Stewart had started his business in Morris Township and says I didnt know the talent we have in my backyard. He says he has found a very effective network through MOACC, and its now become a primary resource. There are some outstanding people out here that without having a chamber I wouldnt have known about it. There are so many great folks I can partner with out here. With Marketing in the Morning businesses within the Mt. Olive area are finding business in the Mt. Olive area, and are tagging up to build web sites and enhance public relations, says King. You think you are working in a bubble. The recognition we get when we go outside, has been worth all the effort. Weve always been a member of the town, says King, Director of Marketing at Paragon Village in Hackettstown. Being involved in the MOACC, gives us another avenue to reaching into the town. As president, King says the plan for the MOACC is to continue the growth and the strength and tweak what we need to tweak. People want to learn what they dont know, what they dont know, they want to find out. The next Marketing In the Morning Program is set for March 19 at the Corner Pub in Flanders, and April 16 at the Hackettstown Regional Medical Center.

Sheriffs Emergency Response Team Is Elite, And Now, County-Wide


stamina, and know-how to make for a superb team. Im really happy with the selection, he said. These individuals chosen for the team have endured some of the most rigorous workouts and nurtured courage and determination for what can be, quite simply, very high-risk work. And the training is, indeed, continuous for members of this team. The selection process includes physical testing; firearm's testing; a verbal test; SWAT (Special Weapons And Tactics) training course; and a medical screening. All current members succeeded through these phases before being chosen, and then recently a ceremony was held in which they were officially sworn in. They perform search and rescue missions, respond to crimes, emergencies, natural disasters, high-risk arrests, and threats of all kinds to the community. They provide dignitary protection as well, and work with the secret service upon request. Fluri explained that sometimes, nothing much happens during certain portions of the day. But other times, a true emergency exists - or great danger exists - and SERT members put their high level of physical, mental and intuitive skills to work. Fluri said, with the individuals on the SERT team, "integrity has to be a huge, huge part of our personnel." They have to want the job for the right reasons, he said. In the course of providing their service to the county, they are continuing to train, and provide coverage in discreet ways as SERT members did for the Super Bowl though they were in plain clothes and not known to members of the public. In Morris County, the emergency response team dates back to the early 1990s, though this is now the first time that all agencies in the county can participate, if selected. The team is on the path of continuous learning, Fluri said, noting that there are

By Ejvind Boccolini he brand new Morris County Sheriffs Emergency Response Team is now a county-wide effort, including law enforcement officials not only from within the Sheriffs Office, but those selected from law enforcement agencies around the county. Those individuals with the highest qualifications and skill level earned their place on this elite team, which now includes 16 selected officers, in addition to the 17 from the Sheriff's Office (from two different bureaus - the Bureau of Law Enforcement and the Bureau of Corrections) that were selected prior to the recent testing. The S.E.R.T (Sheriff's Emergency Response Team) Commander Eugene Fluri, was interviewed recently by the Morristown News about his background and philosophies behind this difficult law enforcement work. Fluri served 26 years with the state police, and retired as the regional commander (captain) in Troop B (northern New Jersey). Before that he was the station commander with the Marine Service Unit, in Port Newark, NJ, and previously a member of an elite emergency response unit in another region of New Jersey. He started his career by serving 10 years on the road as a New Jersey State Trooper. His extensive experience and training will lend itself well to the S.E.R.T. unit, and now Sheriff Edward Rochford is mentioning how honored he is to have Fluri as Commander. Fluri calls it a "unique opportunity" because this is a now county-wide effort and the first time Morris County has an emergency response unit like this one. "This team is brand new," Fluri said, adding that he likes the mentoring aspect. Fluri said his team has an excellent mix of veteran officers; individuals with military experience; young, aspiring officers; and former tactical officers all with the strength,

always new factors in our community and our world, and they have to continue to branch out, and observe and study what is new. SWAT teams have been around since the 1920s, but became more prominent in metropolitan areas and cities during times of civil unrest, particularly in the 1960s. In the past, they were referred to a riot squads. Fluri said there is a need for these teams, and they have to be governed and stay with-

in the constitution. Fluri said his team trains for "all threats, all emergencies, all crimes." In addition some tasks mentioned in this article, SERT members provide local law enforcement agencies with assistance against active shooters, search and rescue operations, floods and other natural disasters, and train weekly for responding to these calls.

ncreasingly, people are looking for more natural approaches to help relieve painful conditions rather than relying on pain medications with their myriad of side effects. Acupuncture has no side effects and can be helpful for treating all types of pain, regardless of what is causing the pain or where it is located. Some studies show that the pain relief Acupuncture provides can last for months or even indefinitely. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) of the brain before and after Acupuncture treatment for pain shows dramatic decreases in brain activity up to 70%. This decrease in brain activity in certain areas of the brain is thought to be the reason for the reduction of pain caused the Acupuncture treatments. Other studies have shown that the levels of endorphins dramatically increase after Acupuncture treatments. Endorphins are our bodys natural pain killers. In addition to reducing pain, Acupuncture also hastens the healing process by increasing circulation and attracting white blood cells to an injured area. The basis of Acupuncture is expressed in this famous Chinese saying: Bu tong ze tong, tong ze bu tong which means free flow: no pain, no free flow: pain. In other words, any kind of pain or illness represents an obstruction in the normal flow of Qi or life force (energy). Simply put, Acupuncture moves Qi, hence flow is restored and healing begins. Lets take a look at Acupuncture and low back pain. Did you know that low back pain affects approximately 75 90% of people in this country at some point in their lives? The common cold holds the number one position as the most common ailment causing lost work days. Most people seek out Acupuncture to treat low back pain more than any other illness. How Chinese Medicine Views Low Back Pain Almost 85% of the low back cases are classified by Western physicians as non-specific. When a patient is seen by an Acupuncturist, the back pain is looked at from Oriental medical perspective and is seen as a disruption of the flow of Qi within the area, associated with a specific imbalance and then treated according to the individuals signs and symptoms. The disruption or obstruction of the flow of Qi that results in low back pain is usually associated with the following three imbalances or disharmonies within the body:

Acupuncture and Pain Management


1. Weak or deficient Kidney Qi In oriental medicine, the lower back is referred to as the dwelling of the Kidneys. The majority of chronic low back pain conditions are associated with Kidney deficiency. This type of condition usually manifests as a dull pain that comes and goes and is aggravated by overuse and overtiredness and improves with rest. 2. Stagnation of Qi and Blood When the flow of Qi within the channels or meridians along the back that traverse the lumbar region becomes congested or obstructed, it is referred to as the stagnation of Qi and blood. Stagnation of Qi and blood causes a stabbing fixed pain that is often worse with rest and better with movement. 3. Invasion of Cold and Dampness Cold, damp type low back pain is often worse in the morning and when the weather is cold and damp. Contrary to what Western medicine believes, weather can definitely affect pain when it is derived from an invasion of Cold and Dampness. This type of pain improves with movement and the application of heat. Now there are studies that support the efficacy of Acupuncture for low back pain. While acupuncture has been readily accepted as a viable option for low back pain in modern mainstream medicine, there had been little research to prove that it works. That is no longer the case. In a German study, published in the Archives of Internal Medicine, 1,162 adults with chronic, lower back pain were divided into groups treated with the standard pharmaceutical and exercise therapy commonly used in Western medicine and Acupuncture. The researchers reported that Acupuncture provided relief and lasting benefit to nearly twice as many lower back pain patients as drugs and exercise. Forty-eight percent of the Acupuncture patients reported at least a 1/3 decrease in pain along with improvement in their ability to function, versus only 27% of the patients treated with conventional Western methods. As we all know, it is very easy to become addicted to pain medications particularly when taking these medications for long term use, which is often the case with back pain patients. In another recent study published in the Annals of Internal Medicine, researchers from the University Of Maryland School Of Medicine analyzed 33 studies covering more than 2,100 patients from around the world on Acupuncture for low back pain. They found Acupuncture

provided definite pain relief in the both the short and long term after the end of Acupuncture treatment. Are you plagued by back pain, have you considered Acupuncture? If you or someone you love suffers from acute and chronic back pain, call Skylands Acupuncture & Wellness Center to find out more about how Acupuncture and Oriental medicine can help you.

hen considering the threat of air pollution, many people immediately note the damage done by excessive emissions from vehicles and factories. However, the air inside a home is susceptible to pollution as well. The following are some of the more common sources of indoor air pollution that can prove just as harmful to human beings as those sources emanating from outside our homes. * Carpet: Some materials in carpet emit volatile organic compounds, or VOCs, which are emitted as gases and can have both short- and long-term adverse health effects. The concentration of many VOCs is as much as 10 times higher indoors than outdoors. When purchasing new carpet, homeowners can choose low-VOC adhesives that do not contain formaldehyde. It's also ideal to install new carpet in spring or early summer, when windows can be opened to air out the carpet for several hours without compromising comfort for those people inside the home. * Glue: Glue is widely considered a handy cure-all for minor problems around the house, but glue may also be compromising your health. Certain glues and adhesives like rubber cement emit VOCs, which can irritate the eyes and even the nervous system, and some may even emit toxic formaldehyde. When purchasing glues and other adhesives, opt for water-based products and avoid using glues and adhesives in smaller, poorly ventilated areas of your home. * Air fresheners: The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency notes that many household air fresheners almost continuously release pollutants. While some air fresheners are safe, the best way to freshen air in a home is to open the windows and let fresh air inside. When possible, open the windows to let fresh air in rather than relying on potentially harmful store-bought air fresheners. * Older appliances: Old or malfunctioning stoves, furnaces and space heaters pose both safety and health risks around a home. Old or malfunctioning stoves increase the risk of fire around a home. But such products also intermittently release pollutants, putting residents' health in jeopardy. Homeowners should look into replacing especially old appliances, as today's newer products are both more efficient and liable to emit fewer pollutants than older products. Malfunctioning products should be fixed immediately or replaced if repairs are unlikely to significantly extend the life expectancy of the product.

Morris County Clerk Ann F. Grossi Brings Strong Management, And Excellent Legal Background To County
of Enforcement of the New Jersey Department of Law and Public Safety, overseeing 5 offices and also 3 satellite offices. As an attorney, she is very well-versed in civil service, and union contracts negotiation and arbitration. She also served as counsel for several libraries in Morris County. As a freeholder in Morris County, she said the position gave me a full background for what the county does. Now, she has 34 individuals on staff not including the deputy. Grossi notes that the county performs a myriad of functions for its residents, some of which may be unknown to its community members. The many departments operate in a most effective way, working to keep matters in balance at all times. Things get done because the county gets them done, said Grossi, adding that sometimes not everyone knows that tasks are being successfully completed and that it is the county officials and employees that achieve this for its residents. I have a great staff here, Grossi said, thanking her officials and employees. Grossi noted that she wants to enhance and automate, within reason, more facets of

By Ejvind Boccolini ew Morris County Clerk Ann F. Grossi was surprised when she learned about a job opening for county clerk, but her ability to successfully earn this title was no surprise, due to her great legal and management experience. In an interview with the Morristown News recently, Grossi, who is serving a fiveyear term as clerk until Dec. 31, 1018, said she did not know that previous clerk Joan Bramhall (who served from 1999 to 2013) was going to retire, but instead thought that Bramhall may serve another five years as clerk. Grossi previously thought about the possibility of serving as county clerk, but noted that she had plans to run for freeholder again a job which she enjoyed very much. But when Bramhall retired, Grossi noted that the opportunity presented itself and came out of left field. Now, Grossi thanks her helpful and impressive staff for its efficiency, and will continue to offer strong, and excellent public service. Grossi also wants to bring the clerks office to a new level of technology and open a satellite office perhaps in the

Rockaway Townsquare Mall. Grossi said the clerks office is depository for legal documents - deeds, mortgages, trade names, and maps. It also issues passports, county ids, and veteran ids. Grossi herself has a strong legal background, having worked as an attorney with a private practice, and was a freeholder for 3 years in Morris County, on council in Parsippany, and served as council vice president. Grossi also worked for the state as Chief

the county. She also wants the community to know they are open for business. The hours are 8 am to 4:30 pm, Mondaythrough Friday, with Registry recording offered until 4 pm. There are hours on Wednesday until 7 pm for passports only, and the location of the County Clerks office is the first floor of the Administration and Records Building on Court Street in Morristown. Residents of any New Jersey county can use the passport service. Grossi said there are many ancient documents on file in the clerks office, and gave an example by showing the 1906 Morris County Manual. It lists towns, legislative districts, county offices, commissions, and newspapers. I think a lot of people call us about passports, she said, adding that the office collects recording and filing fees. She said, through our fees the state gets the lion's share, and added that the clerks office receives a fee for every document they file. In 2012, the clerks office generated $36 million, and in 2013, $50 million. The county received about 7 or 8 million dollars in continued on next page

The clerks office also has an online document research facility, in which community members can perform an official records public search, and Grossi said the clerks office is launching facebook page. Grossi said she wants to move the clerks office into a new level of technology, and this will include electronic transmissions with respect to additional services that the clerks office offers. The clerks office is not yet ready to do deeds with e-filing, but otherwise the clerks office is operational with respect to e-filing. Were looking forward to getting that done, Grossi said, referring to the e-filing of deeds. Grossi also wants to have a satellite office in, perhaps the Rockaway Townsquare Mall, and wants to implement outreach passport services. They will look to have a caravan schedule advertised, in which there will be a mobile unit out in the field where people can take advantage of the services. Grossi said the clerks office was established in 1739, and is one of three constitutional offices (county, sheriff and surrogate). It is established by statute, meaning that it is

in the N.J. Constitution. As clerk, Grossi also performs weddings, and the clerks office tabulates the results of the election process. This is tradition, as is the way they decide what order the names of candidates within a given contest will appear on a ballot. They have a "hat box in which they put the name of each candidate (written on a piece of paper) inside its own tiny glass container. Containers are handpicked, randomly, and the first one handpicked gets on the ballot first, and so on.

There are clickable links in blue type to direct community members to the proper destination to get all the information they need. The paragraph reads: Visit our office to get a passport, record and file land transactions, apply to become a Notary Public, get a County ID Card, or during election time, vote in person. Our goal is to continue the excellent public service youve come to expect from the Morris County Clerks Office.

Shocked and Surprised!

by Harlin Parker oliticians on the right hate government. We all get that. But politicians of all stripes bemoan taxes. Rare is the politician who comes right out and advocates for raising taxes. Of course we all know that the right wingers, in their disdain for government, would rather plunge a knife into their own hearts before theyd ever vote for a raise in anyones taxes. Well, at least thats the party line even though it is not true. Youll remember that Governor Christie and his flock have voted a number of times, with no problem, to raise taxes, mostly hitting the least well off in our state. That little trick entailed repealing property tax rebates. Since the wealthiest in New Jersey no longer receive these rebates, Im thinking it was much easier for the Republicans to vote for this. OK no, they technically did not vote for a raise in taxes. Thats true. And thats what they keep telling us. But the only, and direct, result of the vote was to raise taxes on those of us least able to afford those additional property taxes. And here we see the old slight of hand, the dissembling that goes on, as politicians say one thing while they do the polar opposite. Youre shocked? Surprised? I certainly hope not. So along with all the other shenanigans our well fed Governor has been up to, many of which are finally seeing the light of day, comes the revelation that last years rise of bridge and tunnel tolls was somehow stage managed to make our governor, and New Yorks governor, look like heroes as they stood strong for us, the meek little taxpayers and motorists, as they did battle for us against the rapacious Port Authority board. It was an epic battle. Yes, it was. The two governors fought hard, fought the good fight, and were able to beat back the raise in tolls although they were unable to prevent them. Our former governor, or acting governor, whichever youd prefer, Richard Cody, in response to the news reports about the kabuki dance between the governors and the Port Authority, proclaimed that he was shocked! Yes indeed, shocked! And surprised! I think he was really, really disappointed too. What an outrageous thing to do to the good

people of New Jersey, and even those of New York! Why, this is not how things are supposed to work. Oh where is the honesty? Oh where is the transparency? Oh, this will not do. No, this will not do. Were you shocked? Were you surprised? I certainly hope not. And now come reports of 50 or so people Christie placed on the Port Authority payroll. No aptitude or experience for the jobs required. Just a connection. I dont believe these new reports include the governors high school pal, David Wildstein, who, shortly after Christie became governor, was given a job at the Port Authority that had never existed before and, since Wildsteins less-than-glamorous departure, exists again no more. Are you shocked? Are you surprised? I certainly hope not. Lets understand something. New Jersey isnt unique in this but we clearly do it up to an extreme. Many years ago, all of these authorities and commissions did not exist. The ports, the water systems, the highways, all were run by government, state and even local. But some time ago our political leaders learned how delightfully magical these quasi-governmental entities could be. No longer would our government, run by people we get to elect, run things. No, by establishing a separate authority, you can raise money by borrowing (with no politician voting to borrow a dime) and imposing fees (which are not taxes, and again with no politician voting for any fees). Plus, these authorities and commissions are wonderful places to employ the ner do well supporters, family members, and hangers on of politicians and political parties. A three-fer. What joy! No politician has to take any responsibility for anything! So when money needs to be raised to pay for, oh, a bridge repair, no politician has to stand up and tell the good people that theyll have to pay more taxes. As, you know, politicians hate taxes. No, the authority or the commission will raise its fees. Then our politicians will swoop in and do battle for us, just as Christie and Cuomo did. The sad part is that Christie and Cuomo may actually have fooled someone. After all, until recently Christie has been doing a continued on next page

WTReport.com, Political News

Thomas Lotito reporting 014 is a congressional election year. Washington Twp., 7th district Representative Leonard Lance, is being challenged in the primary by Businessman David Larsen of Tewsksbury. Inside word is, the 7th district doesn't support establishment Republicans ideals and Leonard Lance is nervous about Larsen's bid, causing Lance to almost double the amount of money he'll spend on the race than he spent in 2012. Fact: Rep. Lance lost in Washington Twp. and Morris County primaries by more than a 2-1 margin in 2012, and the word is he is very concerned about this portion of the district. Lance represents himself in political mailers as a conservative but he's not. His voting record tells a different story. Lance votes more with Obama and Democrats then he does for conservative causes. Lance was given cover by the house leadership to vote against his own provision in the Farm Bill to raise oil prices to consumers because it's an election year. The Farm Bill passed and is a massive corporate and welfare giveaway of almost a trillion dollars.($956.4 billion) Lance's provision in the Farm Bill will ad three cents a gallon to the price of home heating oil to give nearly 50 million to "National Oilheat Research Alliance" ( NORA) Dave Larsen of Tewksbury, a Ronald Regan Conservative with a strong faith in God, believes in the sanctity of the family and is a pro-life advocate. Dave Larsen is also a strong supporter of the second amendment, is also pro-busisness and believes the country is headed in the wrong direction under the current administration. Larsen believes in a strong dollar and that you should keep more of the money you earn, not the government. Larsen will not vote to raise taxes and will support a balanced budget. Larsen will never vote to fund Obamacare and you can count on him to vote to repeal it. Now onto the Senate Race, starring Cory Booker. Republicans are running scared, no one in the N.J. Republican party wants to run against Corrie Booker because they know Booker will win hands down, even if he doesn't campaign or run TV ads. During the Senate Race last year against Steve Lonnegan, Booker never once campaigned

in South of Woodbridge and beat Steve Lonnegan soundly. I've stayed away from criticizing Gov. Chris Christie's exploits up until this point because of close personal ties to my local Republican party, but no more. The gloves are off. Christie has made a mess of the Republican party. First by stabbing Romney in the back in 2012 by inviting Obama to N.J. for a photo op during the aftermath of Hurricane Sandy just before the election. Christie, with his N.J. Soprano's style of bullying and governing, was not happy with the way he was treated by the Romney campaign. His Kubuki dance with president Obama, besides being an embarrassment, was a payback to the Romney Campaign for being turned down for the vice president slot. The Romeny Campaign saw Christie as a loose cannon and did not want to soil their reputation having Christie as a VP. But where was the president when his dance partner, Chris Christie was being attacked by the media for his administration's closing the George Washington bridge as a political payback for not receiving the endorsement of Fort Lee's Democratic Mayor? I believe that Christie knew about the bridge closing because no one inside a political campaign or an administration does anything on their own or they would immediately be fired because of the problems that it would cause. Yes, there are no emails to prove my assertion but often operatives inside an administration are told not to email the candidate or office holder directly because it wold distract them. What I'm saying is there are no emails because Christie was told or ordered the bridge closing verbally in a private meeting. That's my opinion, take it for what it's worth. Christie's pandering to the president however did cause him to win by an overwhelming margin in his reelection for Governor. But bear in mind, Christie had no coat tails in the legislature and is caving in to every liberal Democrat progressive dream by approving same sex marriage and common core in our schools. I don't want Christie to do this to America and the Congress if elected president. I digress, I voted for a Republican Governor in 2009 and I expected Chris Christie to appoint a strong Republican to continued on next page

But no, Christie made a mess of the process because he feared facing Cory Booker in the general election. Christie feared Booker would bring more votes to his Democratic challenger in the governor's race, thereby driving down his numbers, and rendering him not suitable as a presidential candidate in 2016. This happened to Christine Todd Whitman who barely beat Jim McGreevey in her reelection bid in 1997. Her low reelection numbers made her an unsuitable VP candidate for George W. Bush in 2000. Christie wasted 24 million dollars on a primary and an special election two weeks wonderful job of fooling lots of someones. But if you are that someone, if you believe that either Governor Christie or Governor Cuomo really did not know about the impending toll increases, and if you really believe that they did battle for us to minimize or eliminate any toll increase, then you must also literally believe in the Easter continued from previous page

before the general election. Christie threw Republican Steve Lonnegan under the bus. Lonnegan ran a great grass roots campaign, and if Mitt Romney had Lonnegan's number in N.J. in 2012, he would have been president today. Hat's off to Steve Lonnegan, who's a fighter and ran a good race despite the fact he was under funded and didn't receive money form the GOP establishment. Gov. Christie was not present at Lonnegan's campaign head quarter the night of the special election. I will say one good thing about Christie, he refused to approve N.J.'s version of cap and trade called REGGI, (Regional Green, House, Gas Initiative) and that has stabilized electric rates. But henceforth, I will

not be supporting Christie for president. Morris County Republican Chairman John Sette, is furious with Freeholder Tom Mastrangelo for constantly holding fundraisers. Mastrangelo's non election year fundraising is drying up needed resources for other Republican Freeholder candidates. Mastrangelo behind the scenes is also proposing a new county police dept. This will ad another layer of bureaucracy to our county and cost millions. Freeholders have done an excellent job of not raising taxes but the concern of adding a county police force will raise taxes and give the appearance of patronage jobs. The other concern is for next year's county budget because of extra expenditures for road salt due to heavy winter storms. Here in Washington Twp. Mayor Short has said that he will make the budget fall

within the cap, despite the cost of road salt this year. Committeeman Tracy Tobin will not seek reelection, and retired police officer Ronald Edwards will throw his hat into the ring for township committee. Lastly, because of my editorial, NYC has Nanny Bloomberg, Washington Twp has Nanny Tobin? Washington Twp's. Green Team has dumped it's a hardcore Obama supporter because of her pushing the Green Team's agenda to implement UN Agenda 21 on the town and has rewritten it's charter.

Morris Plains Museum Association Prepares to Celebrate New Jerseys 350th Anniversary
lots of extra tours. The museum was founded in September of 1974 thanks to the former Borough Historian Muriel Rennie, and has been in several different locations. In 2005 the museum moved to its present location. Books and postcards are

available for those who want to study the towns history on their own in more depth. For more information call 973-683-1089, go to the museum website at http://www.morrisplainsmuseum.org or email them at info@morrisplainsmuseum.org.

orris Plains: The 350th Anniversary of the founding of the State of New Jersey has arrived with 2014. Even though a number of statewide activities are planned, the town of Morris Plains is busy getting ready for their own celebration of the areas history. The Morris Plains Museum is a treasure trove of history for area residents. The museum, located on the lower level and rear entrance of the towns Community Center at 51 Jim Fear Drive, just off Malapardis Avenue, is open every Saturday from 10:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m. (or for groups by appointment) and some of the special exhibits are already in place. As the Morris Plains Museum Association volunteers compile important dates in the history of the town to create a detailed timeline and photographic display, historic miniature scenes and a miniature house are already in place for visitors to enjoy. Hand-crafted by Ellie Arnould-Tomb, a new member to the association, the detailed miniature scenes provide a window back in time. The displays include a Turn-of-the-Century Doctors Office, a Wig Shop from the Colonial Period, a Prairie Home from the late1800s, a 1920s Kitchen and a Vegetable Stand from the World War II era. The full time line display should be in place before the end of February, but theres lots to see right now. Residents, and former residents, of Morris Plains can get a good feel for how the town started and grew over the years. Many artifacts, maps, documents and photographs from various time periods are already on display. Lucky visitors may even get a guided tour from the town historian, Dan Myers, if hes available. Dan stated that, the association members are looking forward to banner year and were prepared for

Morris Plains Museum volunteers Carol Mowder, Tia Ziagos (an archival specialist from Parsippany), Cara DelGaudio (a local high school student), Mary Everitt, and Larry Everitt sort through some of the hundreds of documents, photos and maps at the museum to decide on the best ones for the 350th New Jersey State Anniversary display to be finished by the end of February.
