Sheila Bell-Helmke, of Randolph,has seen the benefits of Girl

Scouting firsthand. She believes in

the Girl Scout program so much that she

was willing to go “Over the Edge” on

Sept. 19 and rappel down a 10-story

building to raise money for Girl Scouts.Bell-Helmke has been a troop leader

for six years, mentoring her daughter’s

fifth grade Girl Scout Junior troop. The

self-proclaimed “volunteer junkie” said

she wanted to go “Over the Edge” so shecould “support a worthy cause and organ-

ization that I respect and to cross another

item off of her bucket list.”

She says, “As a leader, I love seeing

the growth of my girls. That is mostrewarding for me.” A senior accountmanager at Express Scripts, Bell-Helmke

was also a Girl Scout as a girl and loved

attending Jockey Hollow Day Camp in

the summer.

Sponsored by Girl Scouts of NorthernNew Jersey, Over the Edge featured the

fund-raising rappelling event and a day-

long family festival. Seventy-five sup-

porters were expected to raise the mini-

mum $1,000 for the thrill of rappelling

down 1 Garret Mountain Plaza, Woodland

Park. Attendees were planning watch the

rappellers’ descent and enjoy familyactivities, a rock climbing wall, obstacle

courses, cookie decorating, entertain-

ment, food trucks and face painting.

As a Girl Scout alumna, Bell-Helmke

said Girl Scouting is important for girls.“There is a sense of ownership when

you are a Girl Scout, ownership in the

sense that as a Girl Scout, you uphold

integrity, honor, respect and self-disci-

pline by taking the Girl Scout promise,”she said.

In addition to her work as a leader,Bell-Helmke also volunteers as the vice

president of fund-raising at her daughter’s

school and the League Team Organizer

for Randolph Recreation Girl SoftballProgram.

Proceeds from the event will be used

to help recruit, train and retain volunteers

who nurture, inspire and empower girls

through program activities and adven-

Girl Scouts is the premier leadership

development program for girls. In Girl

Scouts, girls discover themselves, con-nect with others, and take action to create

positive change in their own communi-

ties. Girl Scouts of Northern New Jersey

serves girls ages five through eighteen, in

160 municipalities in Bergen, Morris,

Passaic, Sussex and northern Warrencounties. There are currently 30,150 girl

members and 16,293 adult members.

T

he Hackettstown Senior Center shares its space

with a senior service that benefits residents overage 55 throughout the area.

Pathstone is a program in New Jersey, New York,Pennsylvania, Ohio, Vermont, Virginia and Puerto Rico

that provides job training and employment services,

specifically to farmworkers and seniors, according to itswebsite.

The Hackettstown office specializes in training and job

placement for senior citizens, according to a press release.

They seek out people 55-years-old or older who meet cer-

tain income requirements depending on family size and

place them in job training programs with non-profit organ-izations. The goals are to assist these seniors in upgrading

their skills, getting them involved in the community and

providing extra income with the ultimate goal of placingthem in full-time jobs.

The Pathstone office itself is staffed with programclients. Other organizations that take Pathstone clients are

NORWESCAP, the Hackettstown Free Public Library, the

Hackettstown Historical Society Museum and area

churches and nutrition sites.

Most of the jobs are clerical, Carmella Swayze of theHackettstown office said, but some of the nutrition center

jobs are in the kitchen. All are part-time with a maximum

of 15 hours each week, she said. Clients are paid $8.38 anhour, the current New Jersey minimum wage.

Just as people on unemployment must prove they are

still seeking a job, clients of Pathstone must continue to

look for a job and fill out paperwork testifying to thatevery pay period, which is every two weeks, Swayze said.

Although ideally clients get work sooner, the maxi-

mum duration of the Pathstone program is four years,

Swayze said.

During those four years, Pathstone pays the wages of

the clients, but the employer provides the training, Swayze

said. The ideal situation would be for the host business tohire the clients after the four years is up, she added.

The Hackettstown office is a satellite office to the main

one in Paterson, which has several employees, Swayze

said. The website also listed one in Vineland. Pathstone

shares the Hackettstown office with the town’s office onaging, with each using it certain days out of the week. The

office is in the town’s senior citizens’ center off Main

Street behind the Hackettstown Community Center.

Part of Swayze’s job is recruitment. She hangs flyers

with tear-off phone numbers in non-profits around thecounty and in churches. She is working to get Pathstone

on Comcast’s community bulletin board since most of the

county is served by that cable provider. She also tries to

spread the word by networking with seniors.

Another part of her job is to interview the seniors whocome in with interest in the program and find them the

proper job placement with one of the non-profits that par-

ticipates in Pathstone.

Anyone interested in using Pathstone services or inproviding employment can reach the Hackettstown officeat 908-747-8494. The state office has an emergency hot-

line number, 800-624-1432, and can be reached at AskNJ-

[email protected].

Y

ouths from 13 Morris County

towns were among the graduates of

the third annual Morris CountyPublic Safety Youth Academy held Aug. 7,

after facing an intensive week-long course

that immersed them in a hands-on host of

public safety programs and exercises.

The 30 high school students who partic-ipated in the unique and free program, spon-

sored by the Morris County Board of

Freeholders, ranged in age from 13 to 17,

from those entering grades 9 to 12 this fall.

Graduates came from areas throughout

Morris County such as Chester, Mendham,Morris Plains, Morristown, Mount Olive,

Randolph, Roxbury and Washington

Township.

The program was five days long and

lasted eight hours each day. The cadets wereexposed to an intensive program that fea-

tured a multi-faceted approach to public

safety, including but not limited to law

enforcement, emergency medical services,

firefighting, and emergency management.

Students also get a taste each day of the

public safety academy-style physical train-ing.

For a first-hand look at the 2015 Youth

Academy, and to give potential 2016 appli-cants a look at what they might experience,

view this comprehensive video:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fM

Db2VbSFEQ&feature=youtu.be

“The Youth Academy provides high

school students with exposure to the field of

public safety,” said Freeholder Doug

Cabana, who is the county governingboard’s liaison on law and public safety.

“At such an important time in a young

adult's life, when they are making decisions

about their future, the academy affords

them a hands-on opportunity to betterunderstand and consider the field of public

safety.’’

“This program is like none other offered

in this in the area,” said Scott DiGiralomo,

Director of the Morris County Department

of Law and Public Safety. “Cadets areexposed to all facets of the public safety

profession. Our goal is to aid young adults

in making a potentially life-changing pro-fessional commitment that could benefit

themselves and their community.’’

Most youth academies focus strictly on

law enforcement. The Morris County pro-

gram aspires to provide cadets with relevantand appropriate hands-on experience,

allowing them to make an educated deci-sion on their futures. To achieve this goal,

the cadets are exposed to police, fire, and

EMS. By allowing them to participate in so

many aspects of public safety, the cadets

can realize an interest in a field previouslyunfamiliar to them.

T

he difficulties presented duringand after Hurricane Irene and

Superstorm Sandy made it clear inrecent years that it’s very important for

residents of Morris County to be pre-

pared for future storms and disasters, andthat if is never known when emergency

preparedness will pay off.

September will be Disaster

Preparedness Month in Morris County

and across the nation, so there is no bet-ter time than right now to prepare for

future emergency situations.

“The mission of the Morris County

Office of Emergency Management is tosupport our countywide emergency

response partners, to protect lives andproperty of our residents, and the envi-

ronment,’’ said Morris County OEM

Director Jeff Paul.

“That is why it is so important to have

the entire Morris County communityengaged in Disaster Preparedness Month.

My question to you would simply be: Are

you ready?”

Residents are asked to take prepared-

ness action now, to make a plan withtheir community, family and pets. Planhow to stay safe and communicate during

the disasters.

Morris County Fire Coordinator Lou

Pepe suggests the following:

Change Batteries in smoke detectors-it could mean the difference between life

and death.

Have a charged fire extinguisher near

the kitchen and know how to use it.

Maintain flashlights with batteries

throughout the home.Maintain a disaster package for the

family.

Conduct a family drill to be sure of

alternate ways to get out of the house.

“We just have to look back at Ireneand Sandy to know that disasters can

strike right here in Morris County, and

that we need to be prepared,’’ said

Freeholder Doug Cabana, who is the

September Is Disaster Preparedness Month In Morris County-Get Ready For Natural Disasters

county governing board’s liaison on lawand public safety issues.

“It’s really a matter of taking somevery basic steps to ensure you can sur-

vive for at least a short period if you lose

power, or can’t communicate and havechildren or elderly persons or someone in

need of medication living with you.

Preparedness Month is the time to take

stock of your situation.’’

Go to http://www.ready.gov/ to learn

The Morris County Tourism Bureau

has unveiled a new website that is

designed to make it simple and

interesting to search for tourist destina-

tions and activities in Morris County, to

help draw more out-of-state and out-of-

county tourism and to interest Morris

County residents in tourism treasures

right in their own back yard.

The new site, which was formally

unveiled last night at the Morris County

Board of Freeholders’ meeting in

Morristown, includes connections to his-

toric sites, arts and culture, outdoors, din-

ing, lodging, shopping, services and

organizations, plus a listing of events of

interest to residents and visitors.

To view the new site, visit: http://mor-

ristourism.org/about.

“There’s a simple, clear and focused

strategy behind a successful tourism

site,’’ said Leslie Bensley, executive

director of the Morris County Tourism

Bureau, who recently briefed the county

Board of Freeholders on the website.

“The best websites inspire visitors to

action, providing the quintessential expe-

rience of their destination through crisp

visuals, sparse copy and intuitive naviga-

tion. The top tourism-focused sites on the

web today achieve results because they

inspire, inform and influence the people

who use the site.’’

The Tourism Bureau partnered in the

development of the new website with

Paramore Digital, which has designed

and developed a website that is a one-

stop planning resource and online com-

munity for visitors and residents.

The website has a modern, clean and

intuitive design, and is built using

responsive design for an optimal viewing

experience across multiple platforms and

devices.

Paramore custom-developed the site

to make it easy to create and manage

website content, and made it scalable so

it can easily grow as new technologies

and services are needed.

“This new website draws visitors to

Morris County Tourism Bureau Unveils New Websitemajor tourism attractions in the county

through inspiring and engaging content,’’

said Freeholder Director Kathy

DeFillippo. “It should help draw more

people to our county to see the great

things we have to offer, while giving a

boost to our economy.’’

The new site offers a host of interest-

ing facts on the entire county, including a

snapshot tour and history of all 39 Morris

County municipalities. Did you know?

From start to finish, Pellegrino has uniqueness in mindwhen helping clients plan their parties. His philosophy is to“think out of the box. You want the wow factor,” he says.

“At a young age I liked entertaining,” says Pellegrino.

“I’m very creative. You can’t compare my event space toanything. I wanted to bring my brand of entertaining to theindustry.”

The Pellegrinos opened their business 33 years ago withPowerhouse Entertainment out of Paramus. This is theirtravel company in which “we bring entertainment and theparty to you.”

At that time, this was the “only alternative event place inNew Jersey,” says Pellegrino. We recreated the industry”with a complete events company offering the best in DJentertainment, dancers, photo favors, performers, amuse-ments and rental items.

Jewelry Company in 1876. The earliest

settlers in Chester came in 1640 when

"Black River" established itself as a set-

tion of two Lenape Indian trails.

The new site also allows users to

Berkshire Valley Golf Course and wilder-

Recently, a new concept has takenhold across the country with“Virtual Runs.” A virtual run can

be done by individuals, families, or evengroups. It’s a self-marathon – on a tread-

mill, in a park, or wherever.The Rogue Runners, a new local com-

pany based in Rockaway, combines theruns with raising money for charity,offering even more fun with monthlyspecial themed events and medallions.The first event is for the kickoff of thenext season of the Walking Dead inOctober, called The Running Dead.Registered participants receive a special-ly designed commemorative medal(bling) and can choose one of two chari-

ties to benefit from part of their registra-tion fee. Individuals or groups can walk,

jog, or run. For even more fun, fans of the various series or movies can make upevent costumes! The Rogue Runners siteand Facebook pages will highlight photossent in by participants.

Those interested can get more detailsat http://www.theroguerunners.com/.Registration for the first three virtualruns is under way now. For those whohave entered 5K runs before, cost can beanywhere from $45-$75 for registrationfees. The Rogue Runners only asks for$25 per registrant, with much of feegoing to charity and for the “bling”medallions. A pretty good deal!

Besides The Running Dead inOctober, there is another one in

November tied into the fourth and finalmovie in the Hunger Games franchise

Virtual Runs Celebrate Favorites And Help Charitiescalled “The District 10K” and for thenew Star Wars movie coming out inDecember called “The (ma=) ForceAwakens Run.”

Carry Crawford of Rockway, the com-

pany developer, admits she, her family,and many of her friends are real geeks.

“We all love all these great TV seriesand movies,” said Crawford. “We wantedto come up with a way of having fun

while exercising, and raise money forsome worthy charities at the same time.”She went on to suggest that, “groups of fans can plan a special event day withprops and costumes and they’ll get a spe-

cial remembrance of their event with thegreat bling we’re offering.”

ortney Wall, a local artist of

Whippany, announced the open-

ing of a special art exhibit on dis-play until Sept. 19. The exhibit features

more than 30 original pieces, many of them illustrating Wall’s deep affection

for African wildlife.

Some of her African wildlife work has

been featured in “Africa Geographic

Magazine.” The paintings line the walls

of the Simon 1/Franklin 1 corridor andare for sale. Cortney is donating a portion

of the proceeds to the Morristown

Medical Center Women’s Association.

Interested buyers should visit the CornerStore Gift Shop located on Franklin 1.

Wall is known as one of the few

female sports artists in the country. Her

work has been commissioned by the New

Her art appears in museum collections,

including a traveling exhibit for the

Morristown Medical Center, “This exhib-it means so much to me. I truly enjoyed

creating these pieces, knowing that they

might hopefully brighten a patient’s or

family member’s day during a difficult

time. I appreciate the opportunity provid-ed by Morristown Medical Center, allow-

ing this Jersey girl to touch people’s lives

in one of my favorite towns.”

Come In For YourPink Extensions for fhe Cure! 100% of the profits from The Pink Extention For The Cure

go to The Susan G. Komen of North Jersey.

October is Breast Cancer Awareness

month and throughout Oct. 31

Alfonso's Salon in Flanders, for the

fourth year in a row, is joining the fight todefeat breast cancer, the second leading

cancer killer of women. The salon is offer-ing pink hair extensions to commemorate

the cause. The extensions are available in a

shade of bright pink for $12 each; in order

to eliminate any bank fees, cash is required.All donations and profits for this fundraiser

will benefit the Susan G. Komen

Foundation for the Cure of North Jersey.

"We are proud to help where we can to

raise funds to assist research, increaseawareness and promote screenings," says

Alfonso Merola, owner/stylist of Alfonso's

Salon at Sutton Plaza. "Breast Canceraffects so many families. I have seen it

touch the lives of many, and happily countmany as successful survivors of this dis-

ease, because of early detection."

The Salon has received much recogni-

tion for its efforts to help defeat breast can-

cer.

The non-permanent extensions are asimple process and it only takes minutes to

apply.

"We compress the pink extension intothe hair without causing any harm to the

client's own hair,” he says. “They look

great on women of all ages, from kids to

seniors, with some customers getting twoor three at a time. They can be easily cut to

any length the client wants and will stay inas long as a moisturizing shampoo or con-

ditioner is not used on the root area.”

Alfonso is particularly excited about

working with groups for this worthy

fundraiser. Last year, he was invited toMorristown Medical Center to apply exten-

sions to staff during the shift change out-

side the cafeteria, and plans to return this

month. Check out Alfonso’s Facebook

page for days and hours.Cheerleaders and sports groups from the

local high schools have also come in as a

team to show their support. It's a fundraiser

and a team building exercise all in one.

The salon will accept any donation even

if customers do not want to take advantageof the hair extension services. A jar will be

available at the front desk. Donation jars

can also be found at Valentino's Pizzeria,

Pink Extensions For The Cure Fundraiser At Alfonso's SalonVerizon Wireless store, Wine Rack,

Flanders Cleaners, Flanders Bagels, andMandarin Village.

In business for 30 years, Alfonso's is a

full service salon, specializing in complete

hair services such as color, cuts, styling,and specialized smoothing systems such as

Keratin Straightening System and Keratin

Express as well as perms and conditioningtreatments. Manicures, pedicures and wax-

ing services are also provided. Hair exten-

sions come in many varied colors and are

done all year round.

As of Sept. 1, the NJ Car Seat Law

will be changing. Children underthe age of two and weighing less

than 30 pounds must be in a rear-facing

car seat with a five point harness. The

car seat must be in a rear seat of the vehi-

cle.

From age two through age four andweighing up to 40 pounds, children must

be secured in a seat with a five point har-

ness, either rear facing, up to the height

and weight of the particular seat, or for-

ward facing in the rear seat of the vehi-cle.

For ages four until age eight and less

than 57 inches, children must be seated in

either a car seat with a five point harness

or a booster seat, also in the rear seat of

the vehicle.

Age eight through 17 must wear a

properly adjusted and fastened seat belt.

If there are no rear seats, like in a stan-dard cab pickup truck, the child must be

secured in the appropriate car seat or

booster for their age, weight, and height,in the front passenger seat. If the child is

in a rear-facing car seat, the passengerside airbag must be disabled or turned

off.

you have never seen any-

thing like Brad.

He works all over the

country, performing at the-

atres, comedy clubs, casi-nos and comedy festivals.

He has worked with many

well known comedians and

entertainers such as Brad

Garrett, Dennis Miller,Susie Essman, Julio

Iglesias and Joan Rivers.

Brad combines years of

acting training and standup,

which is evident in Brad’sone man show, “My Son

the Waiter, A Jewish

Tragedy.” In this part

standup/part theatrical

piece, Brad tells a story of

one man’s lengthy, and wedo mean lengthy, struggle

to make it as an actor in

New York. His send-ups on

his childhood, his family,

his misbegotten love life,

and his career are as warm

and poignant as they are

hysterical. His friend Brad

Garrett says of the show,“Zimmerman’s one-man

show is a must see. It’s

hysterical, heartfelt, timely

and poignant. I cried, I

laughed, I forgot where I

parked.”In addition to this show,

Brad has done work in both

television and film, most

notably playing Johnny

Sack’s lawyer in The

Sopranos.

rivers who travel between the

United States and Canada or plan on

renting a car for an internationalbusiness trip or vacation should understand

that driving rules vary from country to coun-try. One noticeable difference is the side of

the road vehicles travel on, as well as the

measurement system used for calculating

speed and distance. Although speedometers

will often feature both mph (miles per hour)and kmh (kilometers per hour), it helps to

have a rough idea of the conversion between

the two speed measurements. Every mile per

hour in speed translates to roughly 1.7 kilo-

meters per hour. Therefore, if the postedspeed limit is 55 mph in the United States,

expect to travel at 88.5 kph in Canada.

Always heed speed limit postings and regu-

larly check your vehicle’s speedometer to

ensure you are driving at or below the legallimit. Traffic offenses that might be tolerated

in one country may not be tolerated across

the border, so always obey the local laws

when behind the wheel.

Fundraiser Set To Keep Wheels Of Edison Museum In Motion


34/40

Those interested in socializing with folks who keep thewheels of the museum turning at Edison’s 19thCentury factory complex in West Orange can attend

the Muckers’ Ball fundraiser on Sat., Oct. 3. It promises atradition of food, drink, music and dancing under the big tent- a location where Thomas Edison and his Muckers hadsome great celebrations. For more info on the Muckers’ Ballcontact the Friends of Thomas Edison Historical ParkFoTENHP www.foedison.org; call 973-736-2916; or [email protected].

Touring the legendary work site of Thomas Edison andthe growing curiosity in Steampunk makes this NationalHistorical Park NHP in West Orange even more uniquelyremarkable today.

Steampunk is a subgenre of devotees that are fascinatedby retro science fiction, technology and artistic designs of the late 19th-century that ignited with the force of steam-powered machinery. Steampunk channels the era's perspec-

tive of those that lived during this futuristic thinkingVictorian and American Wild West age. Steampunk is aboutrevisiting its own distinct fashion, culture, architectural styleand art. It was a time of colorful futuristic storytelling fromH. G. Wells and Jules Verne. The Thomas Alva Edison fac-tory laboratories and his Victorian Glenmont estate home inWest Orange are in themselves Steampunk time capsulesmaintained by our National Park Service. It is also furtherpreserved by private funds, foundations and the Friends of TENHP that do dedicated fundraising where it is needed.They provide the additional renovations, enhancements and

special project exhibits that are not covered in the NHPbudget. The FoTENHP also promotes the era’s pastimes of gardening, fashion, advertisements and the music that wereconnected to these Edison inventions in true spirit.

Coincidentally, the Victorian age of the late 19th Centurywas also the pinnacle years of Thomas Edison’s career thatmade him the world’s famous wizard of invention capable of moving ideas off from the science fiction category to theworld of tomorrow. In 1897 H.G. Wells created his sciencefiction masterpiece The War Of The Worlds. The Hearstnewspaper group commissioned a sequel to follow it.Science editor - Garrett Putnam Serviss would write the nextstory. This sequel follow up was entitled Edison’s Conquestof Mars which appeared in Feb. of 1898. Thomas Edisonbecame the heroic character of this science fiction world.The iconic persona of Edison was a name that lent thebelievability factor to a new fiction genre – the space tech-no-thriller. Serviss’ book was the first space battle to ever

appear in print.The West Orange laboratory complex was built in 1887.

The facilities were well equipped with many kinds of machinery and instruments, with a factory supply of materi-als from around the world that employed dedicated and care-fully-chosen workers. Employees that worked at Edison’sfactory laboratories did not need to read a science fictionbook to believe that Thomas Edison had the imagination totake them into the future with his inventions and ideas.There was a lot of excitement working for Thomas Edisonthat attracted the best talent pool of employees not only

locally but from around the world. This pool also includedgreat performing artists for his film and music studio pro-ductions. Edison’s closest workers were his engineering anddevelopment team that he fondly called his Muckers. Therewere great employee celebrations too that went along withthe hard work that helped produce the grist for futuristic pulpfiction in its day.
