Tistheseasontobebusy,helpingthosein thecommunitywithmen-

tal illnesses.The Mental HealthAssociation of Morris County in

MountainLakesheldaThanksgivingDinnerlastmonth,andearli-er thismonth hosted a homeless outreachevent to provide services to the

homeless.

These services, however, provided by the MHAMC is not

seasonal but rather all year round. More awareness is needed

about the MHAMC so people in the community can takeadvantage of the free services provided through the non-profit

organization.

The Mental Health Association of Morris County wants to

increase awarenessin thecommunity about whothey are, what

they do and the services they provide.A big part of its missionis to reduce the stigma associated with mental illness.

"Often people have a negative viewpoint of those withmental illnesses," says Louis A. Schwarcz, president and CEO

of MHAMC. "People of mental illnesses can live in societyand have a normal life. They don't have to live in jails or shel-

ters. We want to create an environment where people are sup-

portive of mental illness.Founded in 1953, the MHAMC is a 501C3 non-profit

organization that works to promote mental health awareness,prevent mental illnesses, and improve thecareand treatment of

people in recovery from mental illnesses through programs of

education, direct service, and advocacy.

Some of the current services include information and refer-

ral, homeless moutreach, supportive housing, consumer

empowerment, peer to peer support mline, and disasterresponse. All services are funded through state, county and

federal dollars as well as fundraising events.Through nearly a dozen programs, Schwarcz says

County who have a mental illness or otherproblems.

With more state dollars recently approved,Schwarcz says the program is nowbeingexpanded to help people discharged fromGreystone ParkPsychiatric Hospital in Morris

Plains to provide them with support for hous-ing and services so they can "stay well in thecommunity."

"When a person is sitting in a psychiatrichospital, feeling lonely,

dejected and hopeless, it is the MHAMCstaff that approach them with a hopeful mes-sage," says Schwarcz in a recent newsletter."It is the MHAMC worker that tells them thatthey need not despair, that they can have theirself-esteem and their standing in society byleaving thehospital andmoving into theirown

community apartment."The MHAMC recently hosted a

Thanksgiving Dinner on Nov. 19, from 1 to 4p.m. at the Community Church of MountainLakes. More than 100 people that includedmental health consumers (any individual whoconsumes mental health services), ConsumerAdvocacy Program (CAP), Social Club andother agency programs enjoyed turkey, greenbean casserole, stuffing, gravy, rolls, mashedpotatoes, cranberry sauce, and pies.

"The Thanksgiving Dinner was both theSocial Club program and ConsumerAdvocacy Program," says Christa Simons,MHAMC director of Education and

Advocacy. "It's a combined event each year.Individuals from the Social Club are alsomental health consumers who come from allareas with the main goal of increasing social-ization.

"Mental illness canbe very isolating so this

program helps them connect with other indi-viduals who have mental illness and socializewithin their community," says Simons.

It is a "one day, one-stop event" wherelocal service providers, or businesses sponsorthe homeless to share information on how tolink them to housing, food, medical services,diabetes screenings, flu shots, housing, socialsecurity, legal advice, haircuts, domestic vio-lence, substance abuse, and more, explainsLisa Falcone, director of Homeless OutreachServices through MHAMC.

"We serve food; we make it a happy day, ahopeful event," says Falcone. "It's been suc-cessful because it helps so many peoplein oneday."

Falcone says "we are the lead agency butwe join other agencies in the county so weshow unity as one goal to help the homeless."

In 2010,MHAMC providedoutreachserv-ices to 735homelesspeople. Outof those peo-ple, 47 of them who have a mental illnesswere housed. "When a personis homeless in atrain station, talking to themselves, pacingback andforth in obvious despair,when allthepeople around them walk uncomfortablyaway from them, it is the MHAMC staff that

Mental Health... does not walk away from them, but actuallywalks toward them," says Schwarcz in arecent newsletter.

A major fundraiser by MHAMC is theannual food event- 10th annual Food ForThought- scheduled for June 4, 2012, from 6p.m. to 9 p.m. - at theBretton Woods Mansionin Morris Plains.

Over the years, Food for Thought hasgrown to be one of Morris County's premierfundraising events with many of the area'sfinest restaurants offering a "taste" of theirdelicious and diverse cuisine while raisingawareness and vital funds for the MHAMCprograms and services.

NJ State Senator Richard Codey and his

wife are invited as "guests of honor"of the10th anniversary event given their sincereadvocacy efforts and support to the mentalhealth community.

"Food for Thought is our opportunity toreflect and celebrate the positive impact thatwe have on the Morris County mental healthcommunity," say organizers.

"We encourage people to call us or checkout our website," says Schwarcz, "to learnmore about our support so they can livehealthy lives in the community. "Peopleshouldn't lose hope. There is a place wherepeople can turn to cope, recoup and recover."

You can say a lot of things about a

local Hyundai dealer, inHackettstown, NJ, but the one thing

that sticks out is community creates suc-

cess. Local Hyundai Dealer Hackettstown

Hyundai, Located in Hackettstown, NJ, has

set itself, apart from the rest. NJ-natives

Drew Picon and CJ Meyer treat the dealer-ship like a community landmark. Yes they

do provide cars to customers, but their cul-

ture is different. Its not about selling a cus-

tomer a vehicle, its about finding the right

vehicle that accommodates a customerslifestyle, says Drew Picon. This may be the

reason that Hackettstown Hyundai is the

Fastest growing dealer in the nation. Inaddition, they have achieved some great

strides, including, becoming part of the Top

50 Dealers in the Nation and top 10 in the

region. Prior to Hackettstown Hyundai,

there was no local Hyundai dealer, this is

just another way that Picon and Meyer give

back to the community with hiring local res-idents, If you want to see what all the hype

is about and receive a Free Lifetime Power

Ok, so admittedly, Im a nut about yoga. I love hand-

stands and will pop upside down anywhere at any

given moment. Quite frankly, Lisa (my sister and

Janices Corner

Learning To Fallbusiness partner) is probably getting a little tired of round-

ing the corner in the office and seeing me inverted!

Recently, Ive made it my goal to try and accomplish a

handstand, in the middle of the room, unsupported. Its

ambitious for me and requires not only strength and proper

alignment, but a type of fearlessness and trust in my own

body. The first two Im getting better at. The third,

hmmmwell, lets just say, Im learning. To go upside

down without a wall behind me, or a person to spot me,

makes the handstand an entirely different experience.

In an effort to accomplish this, without killing myself, Ive

been taking a few private sessions. Today, I walked into

my hour at the studio and said with great bravado, I want

to learn how to fall. I knew it was a critical part of the

learning process on the path to this goal and I was ready to

take it on! The teacher, who happens to be a friend, lookedat me skeptically (as she often does) and then after the first

half of our session decided to humor me (as she often does).

Pick a side. She said. Really? I thought. Maybe, Im

not ready for this. After all, Im in my forties, Im not great

at balancing my handstand away from the wall, I didnt

even have lunch yet! Every excuse I could think of was

suddenly racing through my head. Instead I what came out

of my mouth was, My left.

So there I was, kicking up into handstands and making

an effort to topple to my left. The teacher told me, You

have to decide in your head which way youre falling beforeyou even go up. Ok, back up a second there. That one did-

nt sit well with me, simply because it was assessing and

conceding failure even before the attempt. But I get the

importance of acknowledging potential (and in this case,

probable) collapse, its the plan thats going to keep me

safe. And after all, this was my idea to begin with! So over

and over I went. And to tell you the truth, I wasnt quite

getting the hang of it. It was new, I was a little apprehen-

sive, and quite frankly, the look on her face was a good indi-

cator as well.

So why am I thinking of this as a life lesson? Its sim-

ple. We all have to learn to fall if we want to help save our-

selves from greater injury.

The biggest fall Ive ever taken in my life was when my

mother died. Next month will mark the twenty-fifth

anniversary of that life-changing event for me. It wasnt

just a fall, it was a catastrophic, twisting, horrific crash.And I didnt get to pick a side before it happened. I was

fully unprepared. In that moment, I began the process of

learning how to fall, because, up until that moment, I didnt

know how.

My mom was the center of my universe. It took me years

to reassemble my heart after her death. Still more years on

top of that to put it all into a place where I could just breathe

again and trust that the world wouldnt cave in with every

breath. And many years after that, I only started to under-

stand that this was part of life. My mothers passing forged

me to become more resilient, more focused on savoring thecontinued on page 16

moment and most importantly, it made me

truly appreciate the beauty and the value of

EVERY relationship I engage in.

When my dad passed away eight yearsago, I was ready for the fall. I didnt want

him to leave us, but I was prepared. And

having already chosen my side, it made

me more awake to his presence in my life. I

experienced the time I had with him so

fully, that when it was time for him to go,

there was sadness, but there was sweetness

as well. I knew what we had together had

been good.

I know theres much more falling to do

in life, little tumbles and big hurtlingplunges, but Im getting better at being

more prepared and I think this helps make

each recovery a little easier and the lessons

a little clearer.

We always hear about getting back up

after being knocked down, and thats cer-

tainly an enormous part of life. But learn-

ing how to fall with grace is what failure

challenges us with every time.So, did I learn how to fall properly out of

my handstands? Not quite yet. In an effort

to keep me in one piece, my teacher helped

me to see that I wasnt really ready for that

next step yet. Its a little humbling knowing

youre not even ready to fallin the inter-

im, Ill just take my place solidly at the

wall, flip up onto my hands and savor the

view of an upturned world.

It was Thomas Edison who gave the

world electric Christmas tree lights andfestive outdoor lighting manufactured

from the Edison Illumination Company.

Edward H. Johnson was both a partner and

friend of Edison and was also the VicePresident 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 theJohnson family tree was lit. In 1880, these

same strands of electrical lights were strung

around the outside perimeter of EdisonsMenlo Park Laboratory. Lucky New Jersey

train passengers got to experience the

worlds first electrical Holiday light displayas the trains traveled pass his laboratory

location.

The first electric Christmas tree at the

Johnsons home had a patriotic color

scheme of red, white and blue and it alsorotated.

The American public was not eager to

use electric lights for their trees because

they feared the safety on this new technolo-

gy. It took a President to start an American

electric tree lighting tradition. In 1895,

President Cleveland had the White Housefamily Christmas tree illuminated with elec-

tric light bulbs. The tree was decked withhundreds of multi-colored lights.

Although electric Christmas tree lighting

may have taken over forty years from its

inception to become an American house-

hold tradition, this was not true with thephonograph 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 mar-keting marvel. It was the first home enter-tainment 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

Thomas Edison Brought Modern Day HolidayCelebration to the American Household

households. In 1902 Edison had perfected

his music cylinder records with the Edison

Gold Moulded Records, an improved hardblack wax cylinder that could be played

hundreds of times before wearing out. This

music was brought to the American house-

hold through Edisons recording studio in

New Jersey. It is this studio that concentrat-ed 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 isstill another credit we can give to Thomas

Edison. Besides a recording studio in NewJersey, 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. Oneof 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 mas-

tery of double exposure techniques.

Today you can still visit the recordingstudio, 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.

New 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 areparticularly 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 andethnicities 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-neg-

ative blood is found in just 6 percent of thepopulation, 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 bloodproducts remains high -- due to surgeries,

emergencies and care of cancer patients.

About one in seven people entering a hospi-

tal needs blood.

With the school season well underway,NJBS would like to encourage students,

teachers and faculty to please organize

blood drives, a process that teaches commu-nity service and leadership skills, and

engages the surrounding community. Todate, 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 stu-dents, faculty and community members.

To donate blood, please call toll free at 1-

800-933-BLOOD (2566). For more infor-

mation, visit the Web at

www.nybloodcenter.org.
