T
he Centenary Stage Company will present The New
Jersey Civic Youth Ballets (NJCYB) performances
of the annual Nutcracker this year in the David and
Carol Lackland Center in Hackettstown. With a cast of 60
talented dancers from Morris, Sussex and Warren Counties,
The NJCYBs Nutcracker is unique because its narrated by
Janine Byrnes who tells the story from the perspective of
young Clara Stahlbaum.
In this dramatic presentation, the audience is invited to
Dr. And Mrs. Stahlbaum's Christmas Party. As the theater
darkens, and some of the worlds most beautiful music
plays, Ms. Byrnes takes the audience on a storybook adven-
ture. Claras Godfather presents his magic show of dancing
dolls enchanting the children who attend the party. He has
gifts for all, but one touches the young Clara's heart, an
ugly Nutcracker. As Clara falls asleep under the beautiful
Christmas tree, the noise of mice wake her. To save Clara,
the Nutcracker and his army battle the giant Mouse King.
The Nutcracker turns into a handsome prince, and takes a
grown-up Clara through the enchanted forest into the land
of Christmas. This is the most enchanting fairy tale of a
child's most unforgettable Christmas, says NJCYB
Director, Christine Taylor, Through Ms. Byrnes narration,
young children understand a fanciful story, while the rest of
us realize that his is truly a story of life, love and the holi-
day spirit.
This season the coveted role of Clara will be shared by
Michelle Quiner from Chester, and Kayla Walsh from LongValley. The role of Clara isnt new to these two rising
dancers; Quiner performed Clara with Radio City Music
Hall last year, and Walsh performed the role in 2009 for the
NJCYB. The role of Fritz will be performed by Hayden
Slaff of Mansfield. Guest performer Sean Patric and partner
Shanna Heverly from NewYork City join the company this

grounds include the National Tour of Cats as

Henning and Elisabeth Holowchuk Sollog, from the
Suzanne Farrell Ballet, in Washington, D.C. will dance the
roles of Sugar Plum Fairy, Cavalier, and Godfather
Drosselmeyer.
New Jersey Civic Youth Ballets narrated version of the
Nutcracker will be performed Dec. 17th a t 2:00 & 7:00, andDec. 18th at 3:00 at the new Lackland Center, Sitnik
Theater (715 Grand Avenue) in Hackettstown. Ticket

Centenary Stage Company box office by calling 908-979-
0900, and online at www.centenarystageco.org. The per-
formance is appropriate for ages 3-103.
Imagine falling asleep every night with the fear
that you might be abducted in the middle of the
night, forced to abuse your family and then get
brainwashed to fight in a war for your country.
This would be a nightmare to us, but in Uganda,
Africa, i ts a reality for young boys. Invisible
Children, Inc. is a nonprofit organization whose
aim is to educate and help those who have gotten
out of the situation. The organization provides
help finding jobs, rebuilding schools, educating
themselves on how to provide for their families
and whatever else needs to be done to help the peo-
ple of Uganda.
In Centenary Adjunct Professor Anjana Desais
Global Politics class she showed a film about the
Invisible Children of Uganda. As a result, one student
felt the need to go out and fundraise on his own for this
organization. Evan Miles, a sophomore, pledged that if
he could raise $200 he would shave his head. Miles, who
is a Criminal Justice major, traveled to his hometown of
Montclair, N.J., and was able to raise the money in two
weeks.
Im pretty well known in my hometown so a lot of
people were excited to see me shave my head, says
Miles, I really wanted to do something for this cause and

G
reatnews intheeconomy!It was a bit of
a surprise to hear that one of our own,
Kevil Chevrolet in Budd Lake, were
ranked # 1 in the whole New York Region forChevrolet Dealers reaching their sales objective
in the month of October.
A whopping 150%.
When youconsider that they areup against some
giant Chevroletdealerships inmoremetro, popu-
lated areas, this is no small feat.
Curious, wewent there to find outwhy.
First, we spoke to the owner, Mike Kevil.
We asked him his secret for success and he
modestly responded, "We have been in busi-
ness for over 50 years and we simply give
our customers what they want. They want tobe treated like I like to be treated myself
when I go to buy something. They want us
to be honest with them and give them a good
deal. They appreciate that we are not one of
those Dealers yelling on the radio about
$4500 for their clunker, $5000 cash back or
no payments for 1 year. Our customers are
smart and they realize these dealerships just
mark up their cars to be able to do all these
things. Besides, we have an unconditional
price guarantee. We will never lose one of
our customers over price. If they think theycan get a better deal somewhere else, just
bring us the deal and we will match or beat it.
Another big reason is our service depart-
ment. Our customers love our service
department. They want to buy their next
vehicle at Kevil and will give us everyopportunity".
I told him that this seems like a very sim-
ple business plan and asked him why other
dealerships don't incorporate the same phi-
losophy? Mike's response, " I really don't
know. It seems like many dealerships still
sell cars like they did in the 60's. They don't
realize that customers are very educated
when it comes to car buying. They know the
cars. They know how to look up the Dealer's
cost on the internet. They know how to look
up howmuchtheirtrade is worth. Mostpeo-ple absolutely hate the car buying experi-
ence. They feel like it's one big shell game.
We operate in a very transparent way. We
have an unconditional, 30 day, money back
guarantee on our pre-owned vehicles. This
tells our customers that we only sell quality
used cars with any needed repairs done
already. It also tells our customers that they
will not find that same car somewhere else
for less"
After talking to Mike for just 15 minutes,
I knew that this was the dealership that Iwould buy my next car. Another interesting
Local Business Earns Prestigious # 1 Rankingprogram they have is their Vehicle Locator.
If they don't have the vehicle you want in
stock (any make or model), they will do all
the work for you. They will locate it, inspect
it, buy it and bring it to their dealership todeliver it to you. If it doesn't pass your final
inspection, they will simply put it in their
large inventory. That just blew me away.
How do customers feel about Kevil? I
spoke to one of their recent customers, Bill K
from Chester. He was certainly thrilled. " As
a sales manager myself, I set my standards
higher than normal when it comes to buying
a vehicle. I can tell you unequivocally that
Kevil Chevrolet was wonderful to deal
withthey kept every promise and didnt
disappointment me at any time, from my firstinquiry until I took delivery of my vehicle. I
would recommend anyone looking for a
vehicle to contact them.
Number 1 ranking in the whole New York
Region? I can certainly see why. They are
located at 412 Route 46 West, Budd Lake,
NJ. 908-747-4043. www.kevil.com

fundraising, I figured why
not use my talent for
good?Miles plans to raise
another $200 and shave his
head again and is inviting
members of the community
to participate and donate
money to Invi sible
Children.
My mentor Dr. Shane
Fitzpatrick, Associate
Professor of Political
Science and International
Studies, introduced me tothe Invisible Children
organization a couple of
years ago and I have built a
relationship with their offi-
cers ever since, says
Desai. Their mission fit
in well with the curriculum
for this course and it also
Shaves Head...
helped me in building
awareness in my students
that these invisible chil-
dren exist today.In the fall 2010,
Invisible Children visited
the campus as part of a
course on Global
Humanitarian Organiza-
tions. There are plans to
have them back in the
Spring.
While her class was not
able to run a collective
fundraiser this semester,
Professor Desai plans tohave her spring Global
Politics run an official
fundraising event. For

Wh e n D ec em be r h i ts , t h e
stakes are raised for NFL
football teams. The play-offs are rapidly approaching. Every
game is a must win, and no detail is
too small to ignore. The challenge
l a st year ' s C hri s tm as snow s torm
posed fo r foo tba l l t eam s m ade i t
crystal clear that one factor which
can't be overlooked this time of year
is the weather.
Enter WeatherWorks, an important
piece of the puzzle as teams gather key
weather details approaching game day,and on game day itself. Providing accu-
rate and detailed weather reports for teams
such as the New York Jets, Philadelphia
Eagles, and Baltimore Ravens, the
Hackettstown, NJ-based forecasting firm
gives their clients the information critical
to getting the job done on game day, and
in many cases, before game day as plan-
ning around weather conditions for prac-
tices can be just as important. Several col-
lege teams go to WeatherWorks for impor-tant weather information as well.
"People who know sports know that
weather can be a decisive factor in the out-
come of any game, so we give footballteams the details they need to know about
everything from temperature, to wind, to
precipitation," said Frank Lombardo, a
Certified Consulting Meteorologist and
President of WeatherWorks. "It's not all
about Game Day, though, as teams often
need to know weather conditions for prac-
tices during the week - do we practice
indoors or outdoors, for example."
As a result of Weather Works' input,
players can make the right decision aboutwhat equipment to use, coaches can effec-
tively game plan for the conditions,
groundskeepers can determine the
resources needed to keep the playing field
in good shape, and team officials can do
what is necessary to ensure that fans at the
stadium are safe.

WeatherWorks' forecasts play a crucial
role for football teams. High winds can be
a factor at any time of the year, and in thewarmer months, preparing for the August

heat index can be just as vital as the being
ready for the January wind chill. In addi-
tion, having an accurate forecast for thun-derstorms is a must when lightning strikes
can shut down any sporting event. And in
the preseason, WeatherWorks forecasts
provide the info teams need to help keep
training camp practice schedules on time.
It's not just pro sports teams who
depend on WeatherWorks. The company
also provides forecasting services to gov-
ernment agencies, schools and universi-ties, insurance and forensic investigators,
and a wide range of media outlets.

There are a variety of reasons why the
Hackettstown High School boys
soccer program finished above the
.500 mark and advanced to the NJSIAA
North II Group II Sectional Tournament this
fall. Solid guidance demonstrated by the
team captains, an ability to keep their com-
posure and play well against even the
toughest of competition are just some of the
positive attributes that allowed the Tigers to
finish the season with a 10-9-1 record and
advance to the North II Group II bracket
before being defeated by West Essex.
Newton won the North II Group II Sectional
crown.
Hackettstown head coach Gary Thomas
remembers those contests in which the team
was at their best.
Beating Kittatinny after having lost to
them twice this season was an impressive
win to me, Thomas said. Although we
lost 1-0 at home (in the first game between
the two teams), we had many chances to
score but didnt. They had a breakaway and
converted it to win. The second game was in
the Hunterdon/Warren/Sussex County
Tournament in which we lost in overtime.
Both of those could have gone the other
way very easily. Finally in the third game,we were up 3-0 before a controversial goal
made it 3-1. That was a satisfying win that
we worked hard for in practice.
Our final season game with Newton
was 0-0 until a penalty kick was given in the
last two minutes of the game to give
Newton the win. Newton was a very good
team that won the division and Sectional
championship. In the first half I felt we had
the better of play. We put together all the
defensive principles we had worked on all
season. Newton had more chances to score
in the second half, as we bent but did not
break. It was a very good game.
As was mentioned above, the Tigers
had strong captains this season. This of
course is a very important thing for any
good squad to have in their corner.
Tyler Kessell and Grant Vanderydt
were elected captains at the beginning and
showed leadership in various ways,
Thomas said. Tyler was the strong silent
type who led by example. His toughness
was inspirational. Grant was more vocal
and helped with unity and motivation.
Amongst the student-athletes on the
Hackettstown roster who made positive
strides throughout the course of the season
was Peter Mahal.
Peter started out very rusty, Thomas
said. This got better and better. He wasalso very coachable as he absorbed every-
Hackettstown HS Boys Soccer Ends Above the .500 Markthing. We were able to move Luke Arcona
forward to make room for Peter. Peter gave
100% in practice and games and became as
steady as a rock in the back. For this he
received the Honorable Mention award that
each coach is allowed to give.
Members of the senior class will be
missed when the 2012 season rolls around,
but Thomas has a strong belief in the play-
ers who will be returning to the lineup.
We have 13 of the 17 players back for
next year, Thomas said. The four players
who we are losing to graduation are Ryan
Somelofske, Connor Haar, Kessell and
Vanderydt.
This was a school record low for num-
ber of seniors (four) and number of return-
ing starters (one), yet we finished with a
winning record and played some exciting
soccer at times. We had four games go into
overtime and had another exciting finish to
the game with West Essex in the Sectional
Tournament.

Its not just thatone piece of the puzzleneededfor success for theHackettstownHighSchoolgirls soccerprogramwas there thispastseason. Indeed, several pieces of the puzzle were in place, which
allowedtheTigersto achieve aconsiderableamountofthepitch.
Hackettstown had solid leadership from both the coachingstaff and the captains on the team, several student-athleteswho constantly improved their soccer skills as the season pro-gressed, student-athletes with a belief in themselves and theirteammates-and the results were quite positive for individualplayers and for the team in general.
Amongst the accomplishments earned by the Tigers thispast season was a 14-6-1 overall record and a record of 9-1 inthe Northwest Jersey Athletic Conference Freedom Division.That mark of 9-1 in the Freedom Division was good enoughfor first place, making it back to back years that Hackettstownwon the division title.
They also advanced to the NJSIAA North II Group IISectional Tournament quarterfinal round where they weredefeated by Caldwell, 2-2 (overtime shootout). Madison wonthe North II Group II Sectional crown and Ramsey was theState Group II champion.
There were several memorable games from which headcoach Hackettstown Tara Repsher could likely recall herteam playing in and she narrowed it down to a few contestswhich were most meaningful from a program standpoint.
The games that stand out as the most impressive includethe first time we played Kittatinny, Repsher said. Eventhough we lost in double overtime, the team showed tremen-dous heart and determination in that game to come back from
a 0-2 deficit and fight until the end.Another game that stood out was the quarterfinal game of
the Hunterdon/Warren/Sussex County Tournament where webeat Pope John in double overtime. Pope John was a verystrong team and we played hard for 90-plus minutes to comeout with the win.
Several student-athletes on the roster stepped to the fore-
front in key moments to allow the Tigers to enjoy the type ofsuccess that they did this fall.
We had a lot of girls step up at different points of the sea-son and lead the team, Repsher said. The three senior cap-tains, Amanda Aussems, Caroline Carros and Adelisa Ribicall did a great job. Caroline was the leader by example fromthe forward position who played hard 100% of the time andsupported all of her teammates. Amanda was the emotionaland experienced leader in the midfield who again led byexample and Adelisa was the leader in the back. She settledthe defense and used her experience to keep us strong.
The Tigers presented a total team effort and that certainlyincluded those who are sophomores this year.
We had some sophomores really step up and improvethroughout this season, Repsher said. Elizabeth Dieteman,who ended up scoring eight goals and had five assists andAshlei Carlson who was a great, dynamic player for us, fillingin at different positions. Lindsay Hutton also helped out atvarious positions to support the team this season.
Hackettstown will miss the contributions of the seniorclass when they graduate, but they should be ready to take onthe competition in the fall of 2012.
We have a tremendous core of girlscoming back next sea-son, Repsher said. Although we will be missing our fiveseniors, we have a lot of talent, experience and heart return-
ing.

2011 has been a great year for our dealer-
ship, and it couldnt have been done
without the hard work of our team, a
great manufacturer, and most of all, our loyal
clients. Thats The Acura of Denville Family.Much more than a sappy slogan, its a living,
breathing thing. Our in-store environment.
Our staff, many of whom have been with us
well over 10 years. Its the fact that we truly
area family-run business started andstilloper-
ated by my father Jerry, who has always put
the customers needs first. Most of all, The
Acura of Denville Family is the result of our
dedication to our clientele and their loyalty to
our business. Isnt that what family is really
about? Maybe that sounds a little bit mushy,but tis the season
We wish you and your families a great
holiday and a happy and a healthy New
Year!
Steven Lustig, Vice President
Acura of Denville
Acura of Denville Celebrates 23YearsServing Morris County and Beyond
Advent. The word itself suggests asense of anticipation, the promise
of a new beginning, a season of cel-
ebration.
All these attitudes, however, are a chal-
lenge in a world whose focus is on prepar-
ing for the Christmas holiday season,
noted Rev. Dr. Cathy Deats, Rector of St.
James. We especially need this season of
Advent for the hopefulness it provides, the
priorities it rearranges, and the willingness
to trust that all will be well.
St. James is offering its own balm for the
soul with Evening Prayer at 6:30 p.m.,
Monday through Friday, from now until
December 23rd at the churchs chapel,
locate on the corner of Moore and
Washington streets.
As we look at the state of the world, we
may become discouraged, Deats stated.
But there still is a yearning for deliverance
from the evils of our world, and we cele-
brate with gladness that great promise of the
Advent. No matter what life may bring, God
still calls for us to rejoice!
Advent, meaning coming, is the litur-
gical season observed in churches as a time
of expectant waiting and preparation for the
celebration of the Nativity of Jesus at
Christmas. For Christians, the season of
Advent serves as a reminder both of the
original waiting by the Israelites for the
birth of the Messiah and the waiting by
Christians for the return of Christ. The sea-
son of Advent starts out in a somber tone
and, for the first two weeks, purple and blue
are the primary colors used. On the third
Sunday of Advent, pink and rose are the pri-
mary colors. This shift in color symbolizes
change in emphasis from expectation to cel-
ebration.
We encourage the community to come
and immerse themselves in the meaning of
the colors, the quiet liturgy and the won-
drous music that emphasizes this great time
of mystery, Deats concluded. It is an inti-
mate setting that truly characterizes all the
joys and expectations of the year.

local Hyundai deale r, in
Hackettstown, NJ, but the one thing

cess. Local Hyundai Dealer HackettstownHyundai, 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 customers

reason that Hackettstown Hyundai is the

Theholidaysaremeanttobefull oflove,cheerandspendingtimewithfam-
ilyand friends.Despite thejoy-ful picture that the media por-trays of the holidays, everyonefeels the extra stress leading upto all of the events. All of thehoopla that goes along withtheholidays canputextra pres-sureson us physically, mentallyand financially. During the last
few weeks of the year we areoften overbooking our sched-ules with shopping, holidayparties andeventplanning.Thisalso entails more traffic on theroads, waiting in longer linesand rushing to make ourengagements on time. With allof these added activities andinconveniences, our normalroutines are disrupted, makingus less likely to exercise, eathealthy and get the adequate
rest that we need. This lethalcombination can lead to stress,anxietyanddepression.Acom-bination that prevents us fromfeeling the love and goodcheer and can even make usresent theholiday traditionsandprevent us from taking part inthe festivities.
The hectic lifestyle thatwe live leading up to the hol-idays goes completelyagainst the Acupuncture and
Chinese medical perspec-tive, which believes that weshould actually be conserv-ing our energy during the
winter months. Much likemost of nature goes dormantin the winter; we shouldactually be resting more dur-ing the cold months. Instead,we do the exact opposite andexhaust our internal energyreserves leaving us anxious,stressed and depressed.
Anxiety and stress mani-fests differently in each oneof us and ranges from mildreactions like worry to more
severe symptoms like nau-sea, insomnia, shortness ofbreath, palpitations andpanic attacks. During astressful situation, our bod-ies react involuntarily. Thenervous system responds byreleasing different stress hor-mones like Cortisol andAdrenaline, engaging thebodys fight or flightresponse. In ancient times,this was an advantage for
survival when stressesincluded fleeing from wildanimals that could kill you.The fight or fl ightresponse is a process thattriggers an increase in heartrate, blood pressure and res-piration. So, this responsewas necessary for survivaland could actually save yourlife. The senses are alsoheightened as a response.Unfortunately, this response
still kicks in from stress thatwe experience in everydaylife that may not be lifethreatening. Things like traf-
fic, an angry boss or a fami-ly fight is much differentthan getting chasedby a hun-gry bear, but our bodiesinvoluntarily respond in thesame way. The repeatedactivation of these involun-tary processes puts greatstrain on bodies.
Froman Acupuncture andChinese medical perspec-tive, anxiety and stress isrelated to an imbalance of
energy in the body. In ahealthy person, energy flowssmoothly throughout thebody. Healthy people experi-ence different emotionseveryday, which is a normalpart of life. No one canescape being stressed, wor-ried, angry or sad at certaintimes, but it is when theseemotions are too intense orwhen they are prolongedover a long period of time
that they disrupt the balanceof energy within the bodyand become the cause of dis-ease. This is especially trueif the emotions are notexpressedand arekept insidefor a long period of time.Signs & symptoms of anoveractive response to stress:- Anger - Anxiety -Asthma -Depression - Depressedimmune system - Digestivedisorders - Headaches -
Heart disease - High bloodpressure - Joint pain - Weightproblems
If you are someone who
experiences anyof thesymp-toms above or is simply juststressed out...there is hope.Acupuncture and Chinesemedicine has been helpingpeopleto cope with stressforthousands of years. It canhelp to balance the mentaland physical symptoms ofstress, anxiety and depres-sion. Acupuncture andChinese medicine aims attreating the root cause of the
issue,as well.Bestof all, it isa safe, effective and drug-free treatment!
In addition, here are someways to help combat stressthis holiday seasonas well asin your everyday lifethroughout the year:
1.) Manage your stresswith Acupuncture & herbs!Acupuncture and herbsreduce stress hormones likeCortisol, relax muscle ten-
sion and help restore thebodys balance so that yourbody calms down and evenresponds better to stress inthe future.
2.) Get enough sleep! Tryto get at least 8 hours of rest-ful sleep. Our bodies handlestress much better when weare well rested.
3.) Start your day withmeditation. You dont haveto be an expert to meditate...
but here is a simple tech-nique that will only take afew minutes a day. Inhaleslowly for 10 seconds,
pause, then exhale slowly for10 seconds. Repeat for 5-10minutes each day. You canalso play calming music toenhance relaxation duringyour meditation. Meditationcalms the nerves, reduces therelease of stress hormones inyour body andprevents adre-nal exhaustion.
4.) Drink your stressaway....with Green Tea thisis! Green tea reduces
Cortisol, the hormone thatyour body releases inresponse to stress.
5.) Boost your mood withDiet & Exercise! Increasingyour intake of leafy greenveggies helps your body tostay healthy and deal withstress better. Daily exercisealso helps to reduce Cortisollevels and increases the lev-els of the happy chemicalsin the brain.
6.) Beat Stress WithPositiveThinking!Your con-scious mind can help to con-trol the way that your bodyresponds to stressful situa-tions. Instead of gettingdown on yourself, repeataffirmations like I am fullycapable of handling theobstacles that cross my pathand nothing can stand in myway. Repeating positiveaffirmations also reduces the
levels of Cortisol that arereleased from the adrenalglands.

T
is the season to be busy, helping those in the
communitywith mental illnesses.TheMental
Health Association of Morris County inMountainLakesheldaThanksgivingDinnerlastmonth,
andearlier thismonthhosteda homelessoutreachevent
toprovideservicesto thehomeless.
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
take advantage of the free services provided
through the non-profit organization.
The Mental Health Association of Morris
County wants to increase awareness in the
community about who they are, what they doand the services they provide.A big part of its
mission is to reduce the stigma associated
with mental illness.
"Often people have a negative viewpoint
of those with mental illnesses," says Louis A.
Schwarcz, president and CEO of MHAMC.
"People of mental illnesses can live in society
and have a normal life. They don't have to live
in jails or shelters. We want to create an envi-
ronment where people are supportive of men-
tal illness.
Founded in 1953, the MHAMC is a 501C3non-profit organization that works to promote
mental health awareness, prevent mental ill-
nesses, and improve the care and treatment of
people in recovery from mental illnesses
through programs of education, direct service,
and advocacy.
Some of the current services include infor-
mation and referral, homeless moutreach, sup-
portive housing, consumer empowerment,
peer to peer support mline, and disaster
response. All services are funded through
state, county and federal dollars as well asfundraising events.
Through nearly a dozen programs,Schwarcz says MHAMC helpsapproximately4,000 people per year in Morris County who
have a mental illness or other problems.With more state dollars recently approved,Schwarcz says the program is nowbeingexpanded to help people discharged fromGreystone ParkPsychiatricHospital in MorrisPlains 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 andmovinginto their owncommunity apartment."
The MHAMC recently hosted aThanksgiving 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 andAdvocacy. "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 socialize
Mental Health Association of Morris CountyProvides Free Services
within their community," says Simons.It is a "one day, one-stop event" where
local service providers, or businesses sponsor
the 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-cessfulbecause ithelps so many people in oneday."
Falcone says "we are the lead agency butwe join other agencies in the county so we
show unity as one goal to help the homeless."In 2010, MHAMC provided outreach serv-
ices to 735homeless people. Outof those peo-ple, 47 of them who have a mental illnesswerehoused. "When a person is homeless in atrain station, talking to themselves, pacingbackand forth in obviousdespair,when allthepeople around them walk uncomfortablyaway from them, it is the MHAMC staff thatdoes not walk away from them, but actuallywalks toward them," says Schwarcz in arecent newsletter.
A major fundraiser by MHAMC is the
annual food event- 10th annual Food ForThought- scheduled for June 4, 2012, from 6p.m.to 9 p.m.- atthe BrettonWoods Mansion
in 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 hiswife 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."

This is Clyde from Eleventh Hour Rescue. He is a happy, 18
month old Wirehaired Terrier Mix and looks and acts like he could
be a movie star! Hes got that scruffy, cute look thats so adorable
and he knows it too. Hes very affectionate and he is both laid
back and low-energy at times and then very active at other times.
His eyes have that pleading look of please take me home now, Im
ready to go. He loves kids, people and other dogs too. If this is
the right time for you to adopt, then please take a look at adopting
this wonderful dog. To read more about Clyde, to see all of our
adoptable pets, to see our upcoming events, or to make a donation,
please visit: www.ehrdogs.org or call: 973-664-0865.
This is Mack from Eleventh Hour Rescue. He is a young Pit Bull
Terrier mix puppy, abandoned and found as a stray. His ears
appeared to have been badly cropped perhaps by an unscrupulous
owner wanting to use him as a bait dog for fighting. Fortunately,
this little chunky monkey of a puppy is now under the care of
Eleventh Hour Rescue and he is currently at the newly opened
Adoption Center at the Mount Olive, NJ, PetSmart store. He is
all puppy and all about playing with his toys. Hes a very active
young boy on the go and will need lots of fun, love, and play time
wherever he gets adopted. Hes so cute; weve nicknamed him
Mac n Cheese. To read more about Mack, to see all of our
adoptable pets, to see our upcoming events, or to make a donation,
please visit: www.ehrdogs.org or call: 973-664-0865.
Heres Charlotte and Rosie from Eleventh Hour Rescue. Both
girls are Shepherd mixes and they are still puppies at just under 1
year old each. They are sisters and both came from a neglect sit-
uation where they were left unattended outdoors 100% of the time,
in the mud, and in an undersized pen all alone. Charlotte has the
short hair, Rosie has the longer hair. Both girls are very sweet and
are 30-40 lbs. Both are very affectionate and enjoy the company
of people. They do not have to be adopted together. If now is the
time for you to open your heart and your home, please read more
about these wonderful girls on our web site: www.ehrdogs.org or
