The West Morris Soccer Club (WMSC) donated 44 usedand new soccer balls to various orphanagesand villagesin Monrovia, Liberia this past August.

Theclub collected 'gently used' balls from both recreation andtravel soccer members, and added a few new ones as well.

The soccer balls were shipped to the brother of WMSCBoard member Bruce Sullivans, Paul Sullivan, who is

assigned overseas in Monrovia this past year. Paul facilitat-ed the delivery and expressed his appreciation, this is likeChristmas in September for these children. Soccer plays alarge role in daily life and development here in Liberia.

Paul indicated these balls will replace the makeshift ballsthey currently use, that consist of taped corrugated ballsmade from scraps. Unlike the current makeshift balls, thenew soccer balls will last for years.

The West Morris Soccer club plans to hold another col-lection this coming spring. More details will be shared incoming months. West Morris Soccer Club offers an array ofsoccer programs ranging from introductory play to highly

competitive teams and supports Mendham and Chesteryoung athletes. For more information on West MorrisSoccer Club, visit the club website at: www. westmorrissoc-cerclub.org

First Congregational Church of Chester members handing out refreshments on the green

in Morristown to those in need this Holiday Season. The Mustard Seed Child Care Center

and other local businesses collected coats for donation. Thousands of coats were given

away through The Market Street Mission. Featured in the picture are volunteers from

FCCC.

To the Editor;

O

n behalf of the Chester Lioness

Club I would like to extend our

most sincere thanks to the manyresidents, Scouts, and organizations of the

Chesters and surrounding communities who

donated a frozen turkey and canned or dry

goods for the Thanksgiving Baskets to fam-

ilies in need. All of the donors graciously

wrote their e-mails or phone numbers on a

list to be referenced for future use as needs

develop within our communi ty and the

immediate area.

Annually, the Chester Lioness Club is

responsible for more than 18 of the

Thanksgiving Baskets which are given

anonymously to folks in our area; however,

the food pantry actually did more than 50

baskets this Thanksgiving. The Lionesses

provide a box of approximately 45 lbs of

canned and dry foods which accompanies a

large roasting pan containing a turkey and

fresh vegetables (another 25-40 lbs) for

each family. Your generosity in donating

canned and dry goods as well as frozen

turkeys provided an ample supply for the

food pan try to make s imilar "baskets"

which are actually given on a monthly

basis. Extra turkeys, hams, lasagna etc. are

stored in the food pantry freezers for distri-

bution during the ensuing months.

Our community businesses and farmersareoutstanding when a response is request-

ed to provide assistance. Special thanks go

to the owner of the Mendham Health &

Racquet Club who annually donates numer-

ous frozen turkeys, and to Alstede Farms,

Ledgewood Farm Market and Ort Farms for

generous donations of produce although

this year's growing season was poor, and to

Reckett Benckeiser (French Foods) for

donations of condiments to make every-

thing tasty! In addition, the Chester Shop

Rite allowed customers to donate their free

turkey directly by consumers leaving their

information at the check out counter. This

was an enormous blessing as the food

pantry was able to obtain the frozen turkeys

from the Shop Rite and transport them

directly to the food pantry freezers .

Many Thanks on behalf of the Chester

Lioness Club, God Bless You All and have

a Wonderful Holiday Season.

Holly Simmenroth,

Food Baskets Chairperson

The Chester Lioness Club

Theindoorwinter sportsseason isnowunderway, butits nottoo late to take a glance back at what local programs wereable to accomplish during the fall, especially, when a team

was able to achieve as much as the West Morris Central High

Schoolfield hockeysquad didduringtheir 2011 season.West Morris had what can easily be described as an out-

standing year as thetalliedan overall recordof 18-2 andwere10-1 in the Northwest Jersey Athletic Conference NationalDivision.

WMC advanced to the semifinal round of the NJSIAANorth II Group III Sectional Tournament where they weredefeated by eventual Sectional andStateGroupIII championFreehold Borough.

Although they may have made it look so at times, it was-nt an easy road for WMC, as they faced many tough oppo-nents on the field.

This season we had a lot of overtime games, West

Morris Central head coach Courtney Bertos said. Our firstone of the season, the girls won a 4-3 in overtimeagainstoneof the best teams in the area-Boonton. That showed howmuch heart they were going to have all season.

Our two wins over Chatham were huge victories as well.They have a great team and we were not only able to beatthem once, but twice. And finally, our Madison game in theMorris County Tournament finalstands out because althoughwe didnt win, weplayed as hard as we could and left every-thing on the field.

What really helped them was the solid, steady perform-ance of the team captains.

Our senior captains really stood out as great leaders,

Bertos said. Erin Gutkind, Michelle Hennelly, MichaelaDomaratzky, and Jen Cuozzo did a great job motivating and

encouraging the younger players as well as leading with agood example on the field.

Several student-athletes showed the ability to progressive-ly improve themselves as field hockey players and thus help-ing the team in general this year.

A lot of our younger players stepped into this role,Bertos said. Sophomores Lindsay Roller, Emily Rubright,and Alyssa Perkalis and freshman Kayla Mosser all earnedstarting positions on varsity and contributed in differentwayseach game. They did so by providing goals, assists, defense,etc. They got better every day they came to practice and Icant wait to see them keep growing.

Withthe depth andexperience that shehas returningto theroster, Bertos is optimistic for the 2012 season.

Even though we are graduating some stand-out players,we had a fairly young team this year, Bertos said. We willbring back our whole defense, who now has experience inbig games. The younger players were able to contribute this

year and last, and we have some girls eager on the sidelinesto win a starting position.I am very excited to seenext yearsgroup rise to the challenge.

While the head coach excited about what the future holdsfor the program, she wont soon forget the contributions ofthis seasons senior class.

I am extremelyproudof theteam's accomplishments thisseason, Bertos said. They followed in the traditions setbefore them andmade a name forthemselves.We were com-petitive in the Conference, County and State and hope thatnext year's group will work just as hard to continue the tradi-tion of success. We will miss all of our seniors and I want tothank them for all they have given the program they are Jen

Cuozzo, Michaela Domaratzky, Michelle Hennelly, ErinGutkind, Mimi Journey, and Natasha Seals.

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 andstill oper-

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

Center an affiliate of the Rabbinical

College of America.

The program will also feature live

Jewish music, hot latkes, doughnuts, drei-

dels, a raffle and more.

Chanukah, a celebration for all time, ishighlighted by the kindling of the Menorah

each night of the holiday. "It is a holiday

that enriches our lives with the light of tra-

dition" says Rabbi Yaacov Shusterman,

director of the Chabad Jewish Center. "In

ancient times, our ancestors rededicated the

Temple in Jerusalem with the Menorah.

Today, we rededicate ourselves to making

this world a better and brighter place."

In its Chanukah outreach campaign, theChabad Jewish Center joins thousands of

Chabad centers across the globe that are

stag ing s imil ar pub lic di splays of the

Menorah and its symbolic lights . From

Austral ia to Africa , Columbia to Hong

Kong, New York Citys ground zero to the

will experience the joy of Chanukah with

Chabad.

By Cheryl Conway

Clients receive more than

just legaladviceandrep-

resentation when theyretain attorney William D. Wareforlegal services.

Mr. Ware, a resident of

Mt. Olive, is a solo practi-tioner with an office in

Chester forthe last twoyears.Specializing in criminal

defense and municipal court,

Ware goes beyond his prac-tice of law by providing his

clients with advice and coun-sel during difficult times.

I hope that people in thearea know there are goodattorneys out there trying to

do good work who truly care

about what they are doing,says Ware. We are more

than just service providers.We should be able to offer

clients counsel.

We are counselors, con-tinues Ware. We have to

remember that is part of thevocation. I take that part very

seriously.Ware is a certified trial

attorney with vast courtroom

experience. At his law prac-tice, he handles general prac-

tice cases ranging fromemployment law, immigra-tion, family law, contracts,

domestic violence, and more.

I handle everything frommurder cases to DWI cases

and everything in between,he says. Most of the cases

that Ive handled have had

successful outcomes.Prior to opening his own

practice at 154 Route 206 inChester, Mr. Ware worked as

a partner in a law firm inMorristown for 10 years.Before that, he worked as an

AssistantProsecutorin Essex

County, an experience thathas allowed me to learn how

to try a case, he says, whileprotecting victims of crimes.

Practicing law for close to

25 years, William Warereceived his law degree in

1988 from Vermont LawSchool. He received his

bachelors degree from DrewUniversity in Madison

majoring in English.

Ware admits that workinginthe law field was not going

to be his career pursuit atfirst.

It wasnt my first love,

he admits, adding that his

plan was to pursue a job inteaching, preferably as an

English teacher.I kind of fell into it,

working in the law field he

says. Something inside memade me want to investigate

or consider the Law as aninterest.

Ware has taken his posi-tion even one step further byreaching out to his clients

with counseling advice.

Its not just a job, hesays, its a relationship. My

clients become friends, life-long acquaintances. They

stay in touch.

Ware explains that Overthe years, having being a

prosecutor and sending peo-ple to jail, Ive developed a

sense that everything is notblack and white. Being on

William D. Ware, Not Your Average Attorneythe defense side now, as a

person of faith, a RomanCatholic, Ware says he "sees

the grey much more.""People make mistakes - itdoes not mean they are bad

people."

The connection betweenlife, faith and work is very

strong, he says. As adefense attorney, people who

have serious problems come

to me. I try to minister tothem pastorally by helping

them because many of themhave broken lives.

The underlying problemis they dont know why theyare here or what they are

doing, continues Ware. I

have a cross in my office. Ido talk about faith and get

them connected to who theyare and why God put themon

this earth. If someone has a

different faith, then I willlook for common ground. At

the end of the day, there iscommon ground between the

three common faiths.Ware has realized that

being able to help someone

who issufferingwho isin thedarkness and bringing them

into the lightthats morerewarding than the case

work, he says. The real joy

is making the difference tobring them out of the dark

and into the light and get-ting someone to understand

that there is more to life than

living for oneself.

At the end of the day, Mr.Ware reminds all who come

to him, "God is in charge,fear is useless - what is need-

ed is trust."

To make an appointment,call William D. Ware at 201-

ew Jersey Blood Services (NJBS), a

division of the New York Blood

Center (NYBC), is calling upon the

communities it serves to please donateblood. Donations of type O-negative are

particularly needed immediately. While

NJBS calls upon blood donors to help

achieve its goal of a 5-7 day supply of all

types, healthy people of all blood types and

ethnicities are also encouraged to donate to

help save lives.

People with O-negative blood are known

as universal donors because their blood

can be transfused into anyone. Type O-neg-

ative blood is found in just 6 percent of the

population, but is used more often bypatients with other blood types, especially

in emergency rooms and trauma situations.

We must remember that the need for

blood is constant. Hospital use of blood

products remains high -- due to surgeries,

emergencies and care of cancer patients.

About one in seven people entering a hospi-

tal needs blood.

With the school season well underway,

NJBS would like to encourage students,

teachers and faculty to please organizeblood drives, a process that teaches commu-

nity service and leadership skills, and

engages the surrounding community. To

date, about 600 elementary and middle

schools have sponsored Little Doctors

Program blood drives. NYBC and NJBS

also offer scholarships for high school and

college students who initiate and coordinate

successful community blood drives.

Donating blood or organizing a blood

drive can be a thoughtful way of honoring

or remembering someone special within thecommunity. 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.

ing will create jobs and is good for the econ-omy. (An empty promise) The truth is

Obama can't run on his record. He will have

to go negative and attack the character of

the Republican candidate. ( the politics of

personal destruction)

You will hear lie after lie about any

Obama Is Beatable

continued from page 26 Republican candidate the news media

thinks will be a credible threat to Obama.

Look at what they did to Sarah Palin. Have

you noticed that the news media has not

bashed Palin that much since she decidednot to run? Sarah Palin was a credible threat

to Obama's second term.

This leads me to the exception, Mitt

Romney. The news media wants Mitt

Romney to be the Republican presidential

nominee because they know they have legit-

imate issues to raise against him in the

presidential election. Mitt Romney is on

record as being "for" and "against" a whole

host of very serious issues. He's for" gay

rights," he's "against gay rights." Romney is

for a woman's right to choose. Romney is

pro-life. Romney's health care legislation in

Mass. is the model for Obama-Care.

Democrat political strategists are licking

their chops hoping and praying that

Romney will be the Republican nominee.

Mitt Romney is flip flopper, the John Kerry

of the Republican party. ( Is it a coincidence

they both come from Mass.?)The 2012 presidential election will a

very difficult campaign, that promises to be

filled with surprises, attacks, drama and a

few unintended consequences that will

make for exciting political theater. The

Iowa Cacaus is January 3rd and the New

Hampshire primary is Jan. 10th. But in the

meantime, don't let the news discourage

you. Support the Republican nominee. You,

me and the rest of America can not afford

another 4 years of Barack Obama.

Merry Christmas, Happy Hanukkah and

Happy New year to all. Agree? Disagree?

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 Vice

President of the Edisons Illumination

Company. Johnsons home became the first

home in 1882 to have electric tree lights.

But a few train commuters got to see an

electric light show a few years before the

Johnson family tree was lit. In 1880, these

same strands of electrical lights were strung

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

train passengers got to experience the

worlds first electrical Holiday light display

as the trains traveled pass his laboratory

location.

The first electric Christmas tree at the

Johnsons home had a patriotic color

scheme of red, white and blue and it also

rotated.

The American public was not eager to

use electric lights for their trees because

they feared the safety on this new 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 with

hundreds 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 the

phonograph industry. Realizing the love of

recorded music in American households

(another holiday tradition), was discovered

by accident. In 1890 Edison's Talking Doll

with a pre-recorded cylinder became a 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 is

still 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. One

of the first family Christmas movies was

produced by the Thomas Edison Company.

It was the Charles Dickens' 1843 classic

novel A Christmas Carol which wasreleased 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 recording

studio, see the Talking Doll, watch a silent

movie or tour the outdoor movie studio at

West Orange, NJ where so many modern

American holiday traditions were started.
