By Cara ConnellyAlthough the UnitedStates is regardedas the world’s

wealthiest nation, nearly 15percent of all Americanhouseholds struggle to putfood on the table. Region-ally speaking, no one is dif-ferent than anyone else andthat means families in localcommunities are affectedby this national plight.

Food pantries are oneway to help combat theissue of hunger. Pantriesprovide nutritious food toresidents as a supplementto their regular food shop-ping. Food is donated bycommunity members andorganizations that sponsor

food drives to keep foodpantries stocked.

The Hackettstown-Mansfield PBA #369 issponsoring a fall food driveto benefit the TrinityUnited Methodist Churchfood pantry of Hack-ettstown. According to Sgt.Darren Tynan, spokesmanfor the benefit, “The Trin-ity’s Lord Food pantryfeeds more than 1,200 fam-ilies on any given month.The need increases drasti-cally during the holidays.”

Typically, recipients areallowed to select what theywant using a shoppingguide based on the numberof people in their house-hold. Modern day food

Food recently donated at a Food For Fines collection atthe Washington Townhip Public Library to support its localfood pantry.

By Cheryl ConwayDeep into the fall season and a chill in the air, not aneasy time to imagine fresh vegetables growing inan open field but come next spring, the first seeds

may be sprouting at a new local Community Garden. Plans are in fruition to establish a farm in Hanover to

not only provide an area for residents to grow fruits andvegetables, but to provide fresh food to the Interfaith FoodPantry as well as other nearby missions.

This “will be collaborative effort for local residents andas an outreach for those who need food,” says HanoverTownship Mayor Ron Francioli.

A steering committee is being formed to work out thelogistics of establishing a community farm. After evaluat-ing several properties that would be suitable for a commu-nity farm, Hanover officials identified several acres of landadjacent to the Public Works Department as a good loca-tion.

The site would work well as its location is near water,power and security “it will need,” says Francioli. The gar-den would be about one to one-and- a-half acres allowingfor about 100 to 150 planting plots.

“We would clear it and prepare it,” says Francioli.The mayor cited other towns in the area that also have a

community farm; they have been exploring those farms toget ideas for their community garden.

“Morris Plains has a great farm,” says Francioli. “Theygive food to the Interfaith Food Pantry.” Budd Lake alsohas a farm as well as Morris Township.

“Hanover is looking at all those sites,” says Francioli.The Interfaith Food Pantry is one of the largest missions

supported by county funding, explains Francioli as to whythe garden would also want to support the pantry. Throughthe Interfaith Food Pantry, 5,000 families are provided withfood, counseling and shelter throughout the county.

The Hanover Community Garden would serve freshfruit and vegetables to those who are serviced by the Inter-faith Food Pantry.

“We can provide food to other missions as well,” saysFrancioli.

The first meeting of the new steering committee wasscheduled for the end of October. Committee members willbe from various groups in town including church groups,rotary, senior citizens, Knights of Columbus.

“We are preparing letters to more formal groups,” saysFrancioli. “We can have involvement of literally hundredsof residents and clubs involved.

“Once we involve them, we might be prepared by springto start something,” says Francioli. “That would be myhope.”

The committee will have to set some rules such as feesand how much each plot owner will have to donate to the

mission.“Those are things the steering committee are going to

have to arm wrestle out,” he says.Anyone who is a resident is invited to get involved.

Farmers and experts in the field are also invited to help startplotting for the new garden.

Some people from the Interfaith Food Pantry will befarming for them, says Francioli, as well as agricultural-ists.

The Whippanong Garden Club is currently seeking newmember volunteers to help plant flowers and shrubs to helpbeautify municipal grounds and decorate outside town hallfor a festive holiday season.

For more information, contact Robin Dente at 973-428-2500 or email [email protected].

Beth Fields of Livingston, a memberof National Council of JewishWomen (NCJW), West Morris Sec-

tion, will present a special latke-makingprogram using "real food" on Sun., Nov. 29,at 11 a.m. at a private home in Dover.Called "Seasonal Latkes," the program isfree and open to all members and prospec-tive members. Among the ingredientsFields will be using—depending on what'savailable at her local farmer's market—arecarrots, sweet potatoes, zucchini, beets, andeven apples. Participants will all have achance to sample the seasonal latkes, whichare traditional for Hanukka.

Fields loves to cook. And she loves toeat. But she loves to cook and eat real food,as distinguished from so-called "ediblefood-like" substances. So she seeks out theproduce and products of local purveyors atlocal farmer's markets and local farms. Be-cause she is concerned about the sustain-ability and health of bodies and the planet,seasonal, local produce is always her firstchoice.

The presenter, who holds degrees inchemistry and law, spent many years work-ing as an intellectual property attorney inareas as diverse as agricultural chemicals,food technology, pharmaceuticals and ge-netically modified organisms. Her back-ground has convinced her that manycommon chemicals are best avoided. Shehas also spent the past year as a GreenfaithFellow, learning how to bring this messageto her faith community. "We each only haveone body and one planet. Let's work to keepthem as healthy as possible," she says.

The National Council of Jewish Women(NCJW) is a grassroots organization of vol-unteers and advocates who turn progressiveideals into action.

The holiday season is a time to celebrate withfriends and family. Several holidays are cele-brated in this relatively short time period, making

this one of the most festive times of the year.Many holiday celebrations focus on the exchange ofpresents, which may be exchanged with relatives,friends and even coworkers. But are you familiar withthe origins of exchanging gifts?Gift exchanges trace their origins to both religious andsecular traditions, each of which has helped shape the

Traditions behind holiday giftsholidays into what they are today.

ChristmasPeople exchange gifts on Christmas Eve or ChristmasDay all over the world. For Christians, Christmas cele-brates the birth of Jesus Christ, who Christians believewas a gift from the Creator. From a religious standpoint, gifting others aroundChristmastime can be traced back to the stories of theThree Kings (also referred to as the “Three WiseMen”) who visited Jesus after his birth. Frankincense,a fragrance involved in worship; gold; and myrrh, anincense associated with funerals, was presented. Thesegifts symbolized worship in Christ, that He would bethe King of Kings, and that suffering and death wouldcome to Him.Another giver of gifts is part of many Christmas cele-brations. St. Nicholas, a fourth century saint, is abeloved figure across the globe who has a reputationfor giving gifts in secret and helping the needy. Thefigure of “Santa Claus” is based on St. Nicholas, andthe blending of the two has evolved as history hasmixed with folklore and personal traditions.

HanukkahHanukkah is an eight-day Jewish celebration that com-memorates the rededication of the Temple inJerusalem. The word “hanukkah” actually means“dedication” in Hebrew.

The Jews, including Judah Maccabee, helped drive theSyrians out of Jerusalem. In one of Judaism’s mostcentral texts, Maccabee and others witnessed a miracleat the temple. Even though there was only enough oilto keep a menorah’s candles burning for one day, theflames continued for eight nights. Traditionally, gelt, or money, was given as aHanukkah gift. Many Hanukkah gift givers aim togive gifts that are thoughtful and sweet. Money is notexchanged as much today, with other gifts taking itsplace.

KwanzaaKwanzaa is an American holiday that pays homage totraditions and cultural influences from Africa. The hol-iday was developed in 1966 by Maulana NdabezithaKarenga. The focus of Kwanzaa is on family and theharvest as well as certain principles, such as unity andfaith. Gifts make up one of the seven symbols of Kwanzaacelebrations. However, gift-sharing is not the centralpart of this special holiday. Gifts are symbolic of thelabor and love of parents and the commitments madeand kept by their children. Gifts are exchanged in abundance this time of year.The traditions behind the giving of presents is far-reaching and based in religious, secular and culturaltraditions.

Eleventh Hour Rescue receives many pleas to helpdogs in need from all over the United States. Somestories touch hearts deeply. This is one of those sto-

ries. It is also another example of how Eleventh Hour Res-cue finds the beauty and love in pets that other shelters orrescues ignore or choose to discard.

Meet Machin and Newman, a bonded pair of pups whoneed an angel to step in and rescue them together now thattheir Dad, Richard, is too sick to care for them. He has triedbut has been unable to find someone who would adoptthem locally in Florida, so Eleventh Hour Rescue of Rock-away is stepping in to take them into their care and find aspecial place where they can continue to be together. It ishard enough for them to lose their “Dad,” Eleventh Hourdoes not want them to lose each other, too. They love eachother so much that they actually like being in a large cratetogether.

Help keep them together so that their story has a happyending. Machin is a gorgeous female Black Lab mix, about4 years old. She has a curled tail and a spotted front leg soperhaps there is some Dalmatian or Pointer mixed in her.She is extremely devoted to her person and really wants toplease. She knows the basics like sit, stay, and down. Sheis both house and crate trained. She would make an excel-lent companion for a vet with PTSD or an active person be-cause she is very attentive and loving. She takes corrections

immediately, too. She is a total love bug and likes to snug-gle with people. She would love older kids – she’s a littletoo energetic for younger ones and might knock them overin her excitement. She should be the “top dog” in her newhome and not be placed with small dogs or cats – she’s alittle too interested in them. If someone is looking for a run-ning companion, she would love that.

Newman is a senior hound eight to nine years old. Hedoesn't act like a senior because he has plenty of energy butcan still be a very mellow dog. He enjoys the outdoors,would love a fenced in yard for hanging out, but prefers thecomfort of a soft bed or couch. He gets excited for outingsin the car and loves dinner time. He has a well-rounded,gentle and loving spirit and has been friendly with all vis-itors. He seems fine with small dogs but do not suggest ahome with cats. Newman does not demand a lot of attentionbut he does love human and animal companionship. Helooks for Machin to cuddle with.

It is asking a lot for someone to take two large dogs intotheir home, but Machin and Newman look to each other forcomfort and we are hoping that someone somewhere canopen their heart to both of these dogs. Their Dad will havepeace of mind knowing that these dogs will be kept to-gether which will ease their transition from one living sit-uation to another. To meet them, complete an applicationto adopt them and be sure to mention their names - Machin

and Newman- Bonded Pair!An adopter would be amazing. Contact:

By Cheryl ConwayLike the rainbow in the sky that morning, hundreds ofrunners and walkers throughout the state stretchedacross Central Park of Morris County in Morris Plains

to raise awareness and funds to support research of a raredisease.

On Sat., Oct. 31, families and supporters of those affectedby Creutzfeldt - Jakob disease (CJD) participated in TheFirst Annual Strides for CJD 5k Run/Walk. Sponsored bythe CJD Foundation in NY, the event allowed families andfriends to pay tribute to their loved ones and raise awarenessof CJD, a rare neurodegenerative disease that has no treat-ment or cure.

For the one person in every million worldwide that hasbeen affected by CJD, strides have been made as effectiveoutreach whether through support groups, helpline, referrals,caregiving information, family workshops and medical ed-ucation to those touched by CJD. The walk allowed victims’loved ones to gather and show their strength through soli-darity.

"The outpouring of emotion was overwhelming at theStrides for CJD event," said Sandy Ghezzi of Morris Town-ship and CJD Advocate and volunteer. "Families came fromnear and far with children, aunts, uncles, friends and eventhe family pets to celebrate the lives of their loved ones andshow their support toward finding a cure for CJD."

The vibrant rainbow that shined above participants mag-nified the event’s purpose.

“There was a rainbow at the event! And it didn't even

rain that day, so it was unexpected,” says Ghezzi. “One ofthe attendees I spoke to at the family photo display/messageboard area was a man from Morris Plains. Peter lost hisbeloved wife to CJD in the past six months. He pointed outthe rainbow to me and said those we lost were with us thatday; the rainbow was proof they were looking down on us,smiling.”

In its debut walk by the CJD Foundation, Strides for CJDevents were also held in 10 cities throughout the UnitedStates such as Atlanta; Chicago; Cleveland; Colorado; Mary-land; Minneapolis; Arizona and Southern California. Withless government funding to support research for rare diseasesand the market condition, a greater effort has been executedto promote awareness and additional funding for researchinto CJD. Organizers hope to continue the walk annually.

"We were thrilled to see such a large turnout for the firstever Strides for CJD event in New Jersey," said Ghezzi."What warmed my heart was to see the families and friendswho attended so eager to talk with each other and donate tothe cause. This is a strong community that has bondedaround CJD and is committed to supporting each other andfinding a cure."

According to a press release from the CJD Foundation,CJD is caused by “prions,” proteins that can misfold in thebrain, with devastating effects, including rapid mental andphysical deterioration. CJD is the most common of the“prion diseases.

“Families affected by prion diseases like CJD can some-times feel that they’re the only one,” said Debbie Yobs, CJD

Foundation President. “This event allows them to connectwith one another, and raise awareness in their communitiesabout the devastating impact of CJD and the need for sup-port, education, and research.”

Proceeds will support the CJD Foundation’s GeneralFund, which supports advocacy, medical education, familysupport and research programs.

“CJD advances at a brutally rapid pace,” Yobs said.“Often the patient has appeared perfectly healthy just weeks

or months before the diagnosis. But CJDprogresses so aggressively that the familyscrambles to get a diagnosis, while the dis-ease rushes ahead. That’s why it’s so impor-tant for us to educate medical professionalsabout the disease and to raise awareness,provide family support, and spur research.”

Ghezzi, who lost her father in 1998 toCJD, says “There’s no treatment; there’s nocure. When you get a diagnosis it’s 100 per-cent fatal. There’s nothing they can give you;there’s nothing they can take.”

Ghezzi’s father Ed Mjos of Minneapolis,MN, died on Aug. 25, 1998 at the age of 73,only four weeks after being diagnosed withsporadic CJD.

“He started developing symptoms,” fourmonths prior, explains Ghezzi. His walkingwas not steady, his legs would shake and he“ended up going blind in the end.” BecauseCJD is in the brain, body functions get af-fected. Her father died of malnutrition as hewas unable to swallow.

“It happened quickly,” says Ghezzi. Itwas a “rapid deterioration of bodily func-tions. It was frightening for us. He was veryactive; he was a speed walker” as a memberof the Twin City race Walkers Club where

he lived. Bridge player, joke teller, activeLions Club member, “all around good guy,”and “all of a sudden his eyes got big,” hewas losing balance, starting using a cane,“then he started walking into walls,” usinga walker then a wheelchair. Rapid dementiaas well as short term memory set in.

Ghezzi recalls making appointments withdoctors, but they would say “he was older;he’s getting dementia” or Alzheimer’s.Ghezzi did not give up and instead broughthim to the Mayo Clinic in Minnesota.

“They did 63 tests in one day,” recallsGhezzi. At that time the Mayo Clinic doctorshad seen only 25 previous cases. It was onlyuntil they received her father’s brain tissuefrom his autopsy that doctors were able todiagnose with “absolute certainty” that Mjoshad sporadic CJD.

“Diagnosis of CJD starts with clinical ob-servation and process of elimination of otherdiseases,” according to information providedby the CJD Foundation. “First, more likelyand treatable diseases are ruled out. WhenCJD is suspected, the next step is for a qual-ified professional experienced with CJD toread an MRI and check cerebral spinal fluidfor protein indicators, to confirm the prelim-inary diagnosis. Post mortem, a brain au-

topsy is the only way to positively confirmthe CJD diagnosis.”

Ghezzi says, “It’s frightening; it’s hard toknow where to go” when a loved one be-comes suddenly affected. “There are re-sources out there. If there’s something thatdoesn’t seem right, seek medical profession-als; try a different source.”

To help provide support to other familiesaffected by CJD and spread information andawareness, Ghezzi has become a patient ad-vocate.

Actively volunteering 17 years after herfather’s death, Ghezzi says she began goingto the annual conferences in 2008, when shefirst learned about them.

“I was humbled at the beginning by thelack of progress in finding a cure,” explainsGhezzi. “It seemed totally hopeless at thetime to me. But as the years went by, at theannual conferences, through the presenta-tions by scientists from around the world,there was a glimmer of light, more and moreunderstanding about the disease. There wasfinally hope. Each year there was new infor-mation, progress. I am cautiously hopefulthat one day we will crack the code. And Ifeel inspired to help in any way I can, as partof the CJD team. Because no one deserves

to be told they have a fatal disease and thereis no treatment whatsoever, and nothing thatcan be done. There is a solution, and we willbe relentless -- together we will find it.”

As far as progress, there is still no cure ortreatment, but research is underway world-wide to learn more about the disease mech-anisms and to evaluate potential diagnosticsand treatments. Research developmentshave been made on a number of fronts. TheCJD Foundation sponsors a research pro-gram that attracts researchers worldwide.

The CJD Foundation, which was estab-lished in Miami in 1993, provides supportfor families affected by prion disease. Mov-ing its headquarters to NY in 2013, the non-profit foundation provides a seven-dayHelpLine, referrals and caregiving informa-tion, family workshops, and support groups,as well as medical education and an annualconference for families and scientists.

By Cheryl ConwayGoing on a trip, whether business or pleasure, canbe stressful especially if it involves driving tothe airport, deciding where to park in crowded

lots, remembering where the car is parked, getting theluggage out of the vehicle and then finding the means toget to the gate in time for a flight.

A lot of these concerns can be avoided for those driv-ers who choose Vista Parking for their off-site parkingdestination. Located directly across Newark Liberty In-ternational Airport, customers can park their car valetstyle in a secure 24-hour access lot before they even getto the busy airport and then receive car-door to airport-door service any time of day without any wait.

Family operated and owned since 1988, Vista Parkinghas been providing the most convenient means of off-siteparking for travelers who use Newark Airport.

The service at Vista Parking is “much more conven-ient than long-term because it’s a door to door service,”says the company president. “Customers are immediatelygreeted by a van; there’s no waiting for shuttles, not wait-

ing every 15 minutes. We take you on demand; you comein, we are ready to go.” Unlike other lots, “They are notwalking through long dark parking lots in snow or faraway.”

What used to be four or five lots at Newark Airporthas grown, but at Vista Parking customers can park be-fore they get to the airport.

“We are right there,” says the owner. “We are locatedright when you come off 78; right at the end of the exit,right at exit 58B; or exit 14 off of the NJ Turnpike” lo-cated at the Howard Johnson’s Hotel in Newark.

At Vista Parking, “award winning service is pro-vided;” cars are kept in a safe and secure lot; and serviceis available 24 hours a day.

Customers get free shuttle service to the airport, just athree minute ride. “We drop you off right at the terminaland pick you up right at the terminal.” Also offered arecorporate rates, fast check out, all valet parking, frequentparker rewards club, luggage assistance and security.

All size vehicles are welcome and there is no mini-mum to days parked.

“We are very customer service friendly,” he said.“Once you pull in you don’t have to pull your bags. Weclean off your car when it snows. There’s nothing worsethan coming home from the Bahamas and there’s two feetof snow on your car. We make it so simple for you. Itstarts and finishes so nice. This is valet; the car is broughtup to you, warmed up on a cool night.”

According to the website, “At Vista Parking, youwon’t have to worry about navigating massive parkinggarages or where you parked your car. All you have todo is call the number on your claim ticket and one of ourshuttles will be dispatched to meet you at the arrival ter-minal and return you to your vehicle.”

At random parking lots, cars can be stolen, misplaced,sometimes people forget where they parked their car orwhat row they are in. “If you have a problem with yourcar when you get back, it just brings aggravation.”

Cost to park at Vista Parking is reasonably priced. Formore information, go to www.vistaparking.com or call973-263-2009 or 973-465-9400.
