Paula Soles Common Sense
byTheresa Vaia aula Sole Magone of Randolph is promoting the book she authored, and she wrote this book because she wants to help. Paula has things she wants to say and share. With the soul of an artist, she wants to express and to give, she wants to help you be the best you can be. People helping people. Women should always help each other. Thats respect. Be honest. Dont sell out. Keep it real. Thats Common Sense. Most people dont realize the power they have. Paula wants to offer theories of self help, life lessons, inspirations, how to bring up children that are healthy, drug and addiction resistant, free of bullies and bullying, self-satisfied and respectful. Television is not reality, and it distorts the outcomes and consequences of the actions the characters take. It often rewards the unacceptable and insulates from dire sequences of events, to the point of having us believe we live in an alternate reality.
Paula wants to express ways to take care of family, how to be a great mother, how to care for yourself and uncover the fountain of youth, how to create healthy and nutritious meals, how to keep your home clean with minimal time and energy, and the way to keep yourself thin. Written in a female-talking-to-someone-stream-of-consciousness, Paula approaches her subjects in a surrogatebig-sister-lets-talk format. Its not sophisticated, its not supposed to be. Its supposed to be friendly and caring, there are tense inaccuracies. She wants it to read the way people talk. Paula knows how to literally put beautiful bread on the table and the all of the appropriate accompanying courses. Theres a lot of love in food. Included in the book are recipes with the story she is sharing or the example she is portraying. She understands that she was bestowed with an extra dose of getting it and thats why she really wants to continued on page 8

ased on Charles Tazewells famous childrens book, Patricia Grays adaptation of this classic Christmas story tells the tale of a little angel who is transformed from a celestial pest, who sang off-key and had a tarnished halo, to the toast of the Heavenly Host. The story follows the adventures (and misadventures) of the Littlest Angel, from his reluctant entry through the Pearly Gates, meetings with the Understanding Angel and the Heavenly Messenger to the triumphant conclusion when his gift to the newborn Christ Child is miraculously transformed into the shining

at developing their own individual talents and coming together as a single unit. The games that provided the greatest amount of resources to pull from were Westfield, Mendham and Kinnelon. All three games were great lessons for learning and growth. Westfield specifically provided the girls an opportunity to see that they could find success outside of the conference and county. Mendham provided the understanding that they could comeback, perform and excel in an elimination game to a team who had previously beaten them and Kinnelon because the girls had to focus, maintain discipline and perform at a critical time of the year. In general, the Rams squad progressed in right direction as the season advanced and Suflay is especially pleased with the conduct of the seniors on the roster. All of the players grew as the season continued, Suflay said. They amassed a great sense of pride within themselves and gave selflessly to their team. I am particularly impressed with the senior classAshley Mariconda, Leanne Manning, Taylor Lusardi and Maria Meizoso. The success that we had this season came from the units that played together on the field. The defense, midfield and forwards all showed tremendous improvement. NOTES: Randolph defeated Kinnelon, 2-0, in the championship game to earn the Morris County Tournament title. Taylor Lusardi and Alexa Roemer tallied goals in the second half of regulation for the Rams. Maria Meizoso recorded both assists in the winning effort. Melanie Durbin was the shutout winner in goal for Randolph..In the semifinal round of the Morris County
By Josh Lashley ow that its in the history books, members of the Randolph High School girls soccer team can look back on their season with a sense of pride and accomplishment. Not just because they finished with a strong overall record of 134-2 and won the Morris County Tournament Championship, but because they played the game with courage and a belief in one another. The Rams also advanced to the NJSIAA North I Group IV Sectional Tournament where defeated on penalty kicks by Clifton in the quarterfinal round. The Rams downed North Bergen, 9-0, in the opening round of the Sectional Tournament. Montclair won the North I Group IV Sectional crown and Lenape captured the State Group IV title. It was the fifth straight Group IV State title won by Lenape, a South Jersey powerhouse, as they topped Ridge, 2-0, in the State championship game. When she reflects upon the season, Randolph head coach Colleen Suflay has a vast amount of positive memories that shes able to relate with specificity. The season itself has been filled with great excitement, learning and growth for the team, Suflay said. They were fantastic

maginative fabric craft projects by four Morris County artisans are showcased in a new book exploring the world of Jewish fabric crafts and the inspiration behind this inspired work. Called "Jewish Threads: A Hands-On Guide to Stitching Spiritual Intention into Jewish Fabric Crafts" (Jewish Lights Publishing), the 288-page book presents 30 fabric craft projects, created by talented artisans from throughout the United States and Israel. Compiled and written by Diana Drew with Robert Grayson, both of Randolph, "Jewish Threads" delves into the backstory of each of the pieces spotlighted in the book--how and why they were made and what sparked the idea for each one. The artisans whose work is presented in the book freely share the influences in their lives that prompted them to create the pieces contained in this treasure trove of Jewish fabric crafts. Donna Gross of Randolph created a poignant peace/shalom art quilt for "Jewish Threads." Also featured in the new book are handmade holiday puppets by Lesley Frost of Morris Township and Dancing Hamantaschen costumes by Ellen Muraskin of Morris Plains and Marcy Thailer of Denville. World peace is very much on the mind of Donna Gross these days because her older son, Philip, is serving in Afghanistan. "He is a captain in the Army Green Berets and this is his second tour of duty in the Middle East," she notes. "He was in Iraq the first time for eighteen months. Not a day goes by that I do not pray for his safe return." Donna's younger son, Michael, also served in the Army Green Berets in Afghanistan, earning a Bronze Star for his valiant actions. He is now pursuing his education in Texas. "I am proud of both my sons for who they are and the fine young men they
Two Randolph Writers Spotlight Jewish Fabric Crafts in New Book

have grown to be," says the fabric artist. Her peace/shalom art quilt embodies her fervent hope that other mothers will not have to send their children to war. In addition to her peace/shalom art quilt, Gross created a beautiful apples & honey challah cover for Rosh Hashanah (the Jewish New Year), based on a design she created for the National Council of Jewish Women (NCJW), West Morris Section, quilted chuppah (Jewish wedding canopy). Both her peace/shalom wall hanging and her apples & honey challah cover are featured in "Jewish Threads." When her children were young, Lesley Frost created a set of five hand Purim puppets as a mitzvah project for her synagogue's Hebrew school. "My idea was to create fabric hand puppets that a mother and child could make together and then play with to reenact biblical events and stories," she notes. A native of the United Kingdom and a teacher, the fabric artist believed that children learn by doing. The puppets she designed represent each of the key players in the Purim story-Queen Esther, Mordechai, Haman, Queen Vashti, and King Ahasuerus. In line with the fun-filled Purim spirit, the members of Adath Shalom synagogue in Morris Plains, who work on the Purim shpiel (Yiddish for "play") every year, came up with "Dancing Hamantaschen," or "Hamantaschenette" costumes, with an eye toward elevating the general merriment of Purim. The actual costume designers, Ellen Muraskin and Marcy Thailer, wanted to give their Purim shpiels some added pizzazz, and the response from the Purim revelersboth the shpiel attendees and the players themselveshas been wildly enthusiastic. Author Diana Drew spent a year and a half sifting through a myriad of projects from throughout the United States and
Israel, choosing those that reflected deep-rooted connections to Jewish heritage and contemporary Jewish life. Each project had to have a compelling story behind its creation, and fit in with the overall concept of the book as both a volume of stories about artisans' spiritual intention in making these crafts and a how-to book for novices as well as more experienced needle crafters. "Jewish Threads" is designed to motivate readers to fashion some of the traditional ritual items as well as more contemporary pieces included in the book--individually or in groups--by offering easy-to-follow, step-by-step instructions at the end of each of the stories about the fabric artists and their spiritual intention. Most of the projects are relatively simple, and make wonderful gifts. Readers are encouraged to draw on their own life experiences to give the pieces they make a distinctly individual flair, a one-of-a-kind feel. So the book can serve as a springboard for readers' own imagination and creativity. A special "Inspirations" section includes five stories about fabric craft projects that inspired the author to write the book, including the quilted chuppah (Jewish wedding canopy) created collaboratively by members of National Council of Jewish Women (NCJW), West Morris (NJ) Section, of which Drew serves as co-president. "Jewish Threads" craft projects range from wall hangings for the home to shulchan (lectern) covers for the synagogue, whimsical pieces for celebrating holidays, and meaningful craft projects to honor milestones in the Jewish life cycle, and healing and memorial quilts. Some of the crafts presented in "Jewish Threads," such as challah covers like Donna Gross's, have roots in Jewish tradition, while others, including Lesley continued on page 10

Paula Soles Common Sense

continued from front page share, wants others to let her be an angel on their shoulder. When it comes down to it, it seems most people today just need some good old common sense, and to use it to give them direction and perspective. People arent sure what to do, what the expectations are, the consequences. Basically Paula wants to help by being a gyroscope within the murky matters of family and friends. She feels its basic self improvement, development of a reasonable moral compass, good standards and norms for civility and good living. There is so much power here thats unrealized. Paula wants to assist you in getting it, and your life could be, should be, beautiful to yourself, your family, and others. Build your strength of character and you build your point of view, and how others will view you. Its not without controversy as Paula found during her radio interviews in promoting, but she likes a challenge. She likes to set good things in motion and produce a worthy result. Value isnt in a paycheck or income level, its part of you, what you do, how you do, the choices and actions you take. Manage your choices, the reasons you choose as you do. Why do we have to
be super-everything? Whats wrong with saying I want to be a great Mother? Build yourself a good foundation and one for your children. Moderation, thats the key. Manage your own house before you start to look into someone elses. Paulas persona is one of a good New Jersey Housewife and a creative spirit working to get things done, or at least get things moving. Putting family first and not your career, building traditions and family centeredness, nurturing and nourishing builds emotional intelligence. Isnt that what parents want, what they are supposed to do? Too many times we try to live through our children. Children need to find who they are and how they want to be in this world, its a parents position to facilitate that. Is your house not as orderly or as spic and span as you would like? Paula advises on how to take control of this, in short order. You dont need to spend hours or slave, she wants to help you be organized, coordinated with color and style, and queen of your domicile. Not sure how to be healthy, not sure how to cook or prepare and present lovely meals? Paula wants to be your guru on this as well. There are ways to eat, foods you
should eat and those you should not that assist with beauty and good looks. When you know this, you are beautiful both inside and out. She says to try the recipes, teach your children to cook while explaining nutrition, table manners and table arrangement. Turn
to Paula and find her tips, tricks, and hints between the pages of Common Sense. She wants to pass what she has found to work to those who are looking. Her book is available on Kindle or through Amazon or by order in a book store.

ew Jersey Blood Services (NJBS), a division of the New York Blood Center (NYBC), is calling upon the communities it serves to please donate blood. Donations of type O-negative are particularly needed immediately. While NJBS calls upon blood donors to help achieve its goal of a 5-7 day supply of all types, healthy people of all blood types and ethnicities are also encouraged to donate to help save lives. People with O-negative blood are known as universal donors because their blood can be transfused into anyone. Type O-negative blood is found in just 6 percent of the population, but is used more often by patients with other blood types, especially in emergency rooms and trauma situations. We must remember that the need for blood is constant. Hospital use of blood products remains high -- due to surgeries, emergencies and care of cancer patients. About one in seven people entering a hospi-

With the school season well underway, NJBS would like to encourage students, teachers and faculty to please organize blood drives, a process that teaches community service and leadership skills, and engages the surrounding community. To date, about 600 elementary and middle schools have sponsored Little Doctors Program blood drives. NYBC and NJBS also offer scholarships for high school and college students who initiate and coordinate successful community blood drives. Donating blood or organizing a blood drive can be a thoughtful way of honoring or remembering someone special within the community. Over the years, hundreds of blood drives have been dedicated to students, faculty and community members. To donate blood, please call toll free at 1800-933-BLOOD (2566).

continued from page 6 Frost's Purim puppets and a knit seder plate for Passover, play off centuries of tradition, while incorporating a contemporary spin. Among the fabric craft techniques represented in "Jewish Threads" are quilting, needlepoint, knitting, crochet, felting, embroidery, appliqu, needle felting, and counted cross-stitch. Says Drew, an awardwinning former daily newspaper reporter and a longtime book editor, " Jewish Threads brings together the disparate threads of my own life--Judaism and Jewish observance, sewing and knitting, writing and editing-while stitching together the inspiring stories of fabric artists from throughout the United States and Israel. Collectively, these personal stories, and the projects that spring from them, form a patchwork of modern-day Jewish life. The part openings, written by Robert Grayson, place these crafts in historical perspective, with tales from the Jewish tradition that give these fabric crafts added resonance today." "Jewish Threads" is available at major bookstores and online.
hongum Elementary School in Randolph celebrated the 100th anniversary of Veterans Day on November 9th, 2011, in honor of those who have served our country. Students gave honor where honor is due.

ence of over 150 Veterans and their families, whose service to our country ranged from the World War II time period through the present.

by Kearstin Saya, L.Ac. he holidays are meant to be full of love, cheer and spending time with family and friends. Despite the joyful picture that the media portrays of the holidays, everyone feels the extra stress leading up to all of the events. All of the hoopla that goes along with the holidays can put extra pressures on us physically, mentally and financially. During the last few weeks of the year we are often overbooking our schedules with shopping, holiday parties and event planning. This also entails more traffic on the roads, waiting in longer lines and rushing to make our engagements on time. With all of these added activities and inconveniences, our normal routines are disrupted, making us less likely to exercise, eat healthy and get the adequate rest that we need. This lethal combination can lead to stress, anxiety and depression. A combination that prevents us from feeling the love and good cheer and can even make us resent the holiday traditions and prevent us from taking part in the festivities. The hectic lifestyle that we live leading up to the holidays goes completely against the Acupuncture and Chinese medical perspective, which believes that we should actually be conserving our energy during the winter months. Much like most of nature goes dormant in the winter; we should actually be resting more during the cold months. Instead, we do the exact opposite and exhaust our
Tis The Season To Be Stressed

internal energy reserves leaving us anxious, stressed and depressed. Anxiety and stress manifests differently in each one of us and ranges from mild reactions like worry to more severe symptoms like nausea, insomnia, shortness of breath, palpitations and panic attacks. During a stressful situation, our bodies react involuntarily. The nervous system responds by releasing different stress hormones like Cortisol and Adrenaline, engaging the bodys fight or flight response. In ancient times, this was an advantage for survival when stresses included fleeing from wild animals that could kill you. The fight or flight response is a process that triggers an increase in heart rate, blood pressure and respiration. So, this response was necessary for survival and could actually save your life. The senses are also heightened as a response. Unfortunately, this response still kicks in from stress that we experience in everyday life that may not be life threatening. Things like traffic, an angry boss or a family fight is much different than getting chased by a hungry bear, but our bodies involuntarily respond in the same way. The repeated activation of these involuntary processes puts great strain on bodies. From an Acupuncture and Chinese medical perspective, anxiety and stress is related to an imbalance of energy in the body. In a healthy person, energy flows smoothly throughout the body. Healthy people experience different emotions everyday, which is a normal part of life. No one can escape being stressed, worried, angry or sad at
certain times, but it is when these emotions are too intense or when they are prolonged over a long period of time that they disrupt the balance of energy within the body and become the cause of disease. This is especially true if the emotions are not expressed and are kept inside for a long period of time. Signs & symptoms of an overactive response to stress: - Anger - Anxiety - Asthma - Depression - Depressed immune system - Digestive disorders - Headaches - Heart disease - High blood pressure - Joint pain - Weight problems If you are someone who experiences any of the symptoms above or is simply just stressed out...there is hope. Acupuncture and Chinese medicine has been helping people to cope with stress for thousands of years. It can help to balance the mental and physical symptoms of stress, anxiety and depression. Acupuncture and Chinese medicine aims at treating the root cause of the issue, as well. Best of all, it is a safe, effective and drug-free treatment! In addition, here are some ways to help combat stress this holiday season as well as in your everyday life throughout the year: 1.) Manage your stress with Acupuncture & herbs! Acupuncture and herbs reduce stress hormones like Cortisol, relax muscle tension and help restore the bodys balance so that your body calms down and even responds better to stress in the future. continued on page 17

Tis The Season To Be Stressed...

continued from page 15 2.) Get enough sleep! Try to get at least 8 hours of restful sleep. Our bodies handle stress much better when we are well rested. 3.) Start your day with meditation. You dont have to be an expert to meditate... but here is a simple technique that will only take a few minutes a day. Inhale slowly for 10 seconds, pause, then exhale slowly for 10 seconds. Repeat for 5-10 minutes each day. You can also play calming music to enhance relaxation during your meditation. Meditation calms the nerves, reduces the release of stress hormones in your body and prevents adrenal exhaustion. 4.) Drink your stress away....with Green Tea this is! Green tea reduces Cortisol, the hormone that your body releases in response to stress. 5.) Boost your mood with Diet & Exercise! Increasing your intake of leafy
Tell Them You Saw It In The Randolph News - December 2011 - Page 17 green veggies helps your body to stay healthy and deal with stress better. Daily exercise also helps to reduce Cortisol levels and increases the levels of the happy chemicals in the brain. 6.) Beat Stress With Positive Thinking! Your conscious mind can help to control the way that your body responds to stressful situations. Instead of getting down on yourself, repeat affirmations like I am fully capable of handling the obstacles that cross my path and nothing can stand in my way. Repeating positive affirmations also reduces the levels of Cortisol that are released from the adrenal glands. 7.) Write Your Stress Away. Writing in a journal can help to get your feelings on paper, relieving any built up tension. 8.) Have Fun! Do something you enjoy or watch a funny movie. Laughing releases the feel good chemicals in the brain. For more information on stress reduction and Acupuncture, call Kearstin R.

Thomas Edison Brought Modern Day Holiday Celebration to the American Household
Johnsons home had a patriotic color scheme of red, white and blue and it also rotated. The American public was not eager to use electric lights for their trees because they feared the safety on this new technology. It took a President to start an American electric tree lighting tradition. In 1895, President Cleveland had the White House family Christmas tree illuminated with electric light bulbs. The tree was decked with hundreds of multi-colored lights. Although electric Christmas tree lighting may have taken over forty years from its inception to become an American household tradition, this was not true with the phonograph industry. Realizing the love of recorded music in American households (another holiday tradition), was discovered by accident. In 1890 Edison's Talking Doll with a pre-recorded cylinder became a marketing marvel. It was the first home entertainment prerecorded sound device. The talking doll industry proved to be a disaster with more broken dolls returned than sold making the Edison Phonograph Toy Manufacturing Co a short lived venture. However, it helped inspire the launch of a new market for the household phonograph and record industry. By 1902, having a record phonograph and prerecorded music in your home was on the To Santa Wish List for many American households. In 1902 Edison had perfected his music cylinder records with the Edison Gold Moulded Records, an improved hard black wax cylinder that could be played hundreds of times before wearing out. This music was brought to the American household through Edisons recording studio in New Jersey. It is this studio that concentrated the USA recording industry in the New York City - New Jersey area, making it the record capital of the nation. Another American Holiday tradition is watching Holiday themed movies. This is still another credit we can give to Thomas
By Michele Guttenberger t was Thomas Edison who gave the world electric Christmas tree lights and festive outdoor lighting manufactured from the Edison Illumination Company. Edward H. Johnson was both a partner and friend of Edison and was also the Vice President of the Edisons Illumination Company. Johnsons home became the first home in 1882 to have electric tree lights. But a few train commuters got to see an electric light show a few years before the Johnson family tree was lit. In 1880, these same strands of electrical lights were strung around the outside perimeter of Edisons Menlo Park Laboratory. Lucky New Jersey train passengers got to experience the worlds first electrical Holiday light display as the trains traveled pass his laboratory location. The first electric Christmas tree at the
Edison. Besides a recording studio in New Jersey, he also produced cinema at the New Jersey movie studio in West Orange. This studio was affectionately nicknamed the Black Maria and was erected in 1892. One of the first family Christmas movies was produced by the Thomas Edison Company. It was the Charles Dickens' 1843 classic novel A Christmas Carol which was released for the 1910 Holiday Season. Technical limitations forced this story to be condensed into a 17 minute film. However, the special effects were the pioneering mastery of double exposure techniques. Today you can still visit the recording studio, see the Talking Doll, watch a silent movie or tour the outdoor movie studio at West Orange, NJ where so many modern American holiday traditions were started.
