In the book, Seamore learnsand grows within himself, while playing with his friendsRayna and Eli under the sea. For more information aboutthe book and to order online, visit seamorethestarfish.com

By Joe Klock, Sr.

The following material was salvaged from my ran-dumb notes on floating scraps of paper hereabout.None of it is ready, IMHO, for either full columnar treat-

ment or the shredder, thus it is submitted for your edifica-tion, vilification, aggravation or forwarding to otherdefenseless recipients.

- The past is a canceled check and the future, at best, apromissory note, so don't piddle away the present withpointless games of "what-if" and "if-only." Better to fixwhat you can and forget what you can't....like,maybe,TODAY!

- REMOTELY RELATED QUERY: Should terminatedpregnancies in Czechoslovakia be officially recorded ascanceled Czechs?

- 'Splain me this, if you can: When domestic animals arefound in inhumane conditions, they are taken away fromtheir owners. Young children in similar circumstances, onthe other hand, are customarily left with their delinquentnon-care-givers, who are subsidized for their negligence -this, presumably, under the (dis)guise of the sanctity of par-enthood.

- Among the higher aspirations of personkind (we arestriving here for political correctness) is inner peace, andthe road to that begins with acceptance - acceptance, that is,of situations we are powerless to change. Implicitly, thatrules out anything and everything we ARE able to changefor the better. It follows that "awfulizing," also called "stew-ing without doing," is never an acceptable substitute for tak-ing action, however small a step it might be to toward solv-

ing or mitigating the problem at hand. Suffering in silence,in a free society like ours, is a self-inflicted

wound...so speak up or SHUT up!- Query for Atheists: How do you KNOW there is no

God...or do you just strongly BELIEVE that? If the latter,you're in the same boat as the Doofuses you snicker at!

- The number of people in our nation who are receivingFederal Food Stamps has grown to more than 46 million.Meanwhile, the National Park Service continues to urgepeople not to feed wild animals. Their stated reason isbecause, "they will grow dependent on handouts and willnot learn to provide for themselves." A touch of irony here?

- "Now" is not a movable feast and "then" is not alwaysavailable for instant replay. As John Greenleaf Whittier putit, "Of all sad words of tongue or pen, the saddest are these,'It might have been.'" So, if a "one of these days" irems ison your drawing board, why not pick this one? Life may notbe the party we had hoped for, but while we're here, wemight as well dance!

- With another Election Day coming up, there's one veryimportant question to ask yourself: "Have I listened to bothsides of the issues?" If not, PLEASE don't vote unless anduntil you have done so!

- A greater danger for many (if not most) of us is not thatour aims are too high and we'll miss them, but that they aretoo low and we'll shred the bull's-eye! (There's a high prob-ability that some poor slobs invented 6-UP and PreparationG, then gave up trying).

- Successful people are often simply ordinary folks who just did what many of their contemporaries, and most of their competitors, CHOSE not to do.

- A greeting card idea of mine that never made the cut('specially down heah in the Southland):

"Christmas is a ball for people one and all,Just gushing with good fellowship and cheer.But I wonder why the hell I shouldn't wish you wellAt this cold, unfriendly, crappy time of year?Happy February 13th!"- Similar fate for one of my unsuccessful stabs at a par-

ody writing (to the tune of "Good Night, Irene."):"Just t'other day I got married; we had champagne and a

cake.Then me and my wife soon got parted, 'cause I made a

big mistake.I said, 'Irene, good night, Irene good night. Good night,

Irene, good night, Irene.But my bride's name was Phyllis."- WORDS TO LIVE BY:- Always try to forgive - even if and when you can't for-

get.- Always do your very best. If that falls short of success,

go with the flow and try again.- Always say something nice to everyone you meet

today...even "them" (you know who!)- Encore reminder: Always learn to live with those

regrettable thing in the past that you can't remedy now, sothey won't poop on your present or foul up your future.

original part of the house as well as the orig-inal fireplaces. It has had sections added onand renovations done throughout the yearsbut still retains the charm of an early farm-house in Washington Township.

The Zellers barn was renovated into ahome in the early 1980s and all the stonewalls were left exposed. It was common fora farmer to build his barn before his homeso as to take care of his livestock so thisbank barn probably was built before thefarmhouse next door. Iron rings are stillvisible on the stone walls in what were thecow and horse stables.

The Zion Lutheran Church, whichrecently celebrated their 250th year as acongregation, on Schooleys MountainRoad was consecrated on November 25,1832 and its spire remains an iconic land-mark in the valley. The optional luncheonfor the tour will be held in the new hall.

By Ejvind Boccolini

G aining self-confidence, greater ath-leticism, and learning cognitive andsocial skills are all benefits of becoming involved in gymnastics.

Cheryl Moorman, Director of CSGymnastics, of Flanders, is celebrating 30years of success and knows her studentshave been succeeding right along with her.

Moormann said she is pleased with thelongevity of CS Gymnastics, and notes thatshe has taught students who, years later,grown with families of their own choose tobring their kids to CS Gymnastics for class-es.

Helping generation after generation of individuals become involved and skillful inthe sport of gymnastics is an admirablething, and Moormann notes that there areindeed physical benefits as well as non-physical advantages.

Our goal is to promote all of them, shesaid.

In general, physical benefits includegaining muscle strength, healthy bones, andflexibility, while non-physical benefitsinclude healthy brain functions, improvedacademic achievements, social skills, andreduced risky behavior.

Whether you view gymnastics as a com-

petitive sport or as recreational fitness,Moormann said it has grown to become a

respected industry over the years. CSGymnastics is, in fact, an official club mem-ber of USA Gymnastics, a national govern-ing body of the sport based in Indianapolis.

On the CS Gymnastics website,

www.csgymnasticsinc.com, it notes that it isthe friendly, fun place of positive begin-nings. It is dedicated to the total develop-ment of each gymnast.

Some students work hard to greatlyimprove their athletic skills by way of gym-nastics, and some make it their goal to com-pete.

Several of Moormanns students havegone on to compete in college and she saidshe is happy that her staff and facility canprovide a great stepping stone for suchstudents.

She said that as the industry grew overthe years, owners of gymnastics instruction-al centers sometimes would each take on adifferent focus and provide servicesaccordingly. Some owners will focus on thesuccess in fitness and life skills instructionalclasses offer, others will strive to developpotential Olympic athletes, and still otherowners will provide services and classes thatfall somewhere in between these scenarios.

Moormann also works hard to make hercourses quite effective and practical. On

their website, there are many courses offeredand each have their specific focus and style,

as well as age and skill level, of course. AndMoormann also takes into account that fam-ilies may have multiple siblings, hecticschedules, and that each child may preferdifferent activities. One can see there is a

great deal of thought and integrity that goesinto the design and objectives of each of theclasses.

Their brochure easily explains coursesspecific to various ages, activity and skilllevels. There are monthly payment plans anddiscounts available when several siblingsattend the school, and students can choose toattend two classes per week as part of anaccelerated learning program.

Karate, Cheer, and Art are also offered atthe school, which has 12 instructors andabout 12,000 square feet of space. There is aviewing balcony which offers parents andspectators an exciting and complete viewof the entire gymnastics training area.

When entering the gym area one is takenwith the colorful and clean surroundingsamid the great selection of pre-school tocompetitive level equipment. This welcom-ing environment allows us to host invitation-al competitions as well as special class per-formances during the school year. In addi-tion to offering a thrilling event to view, wehope to provide an inspiration of dreams for

young athletes to pursue, the website reads.Moormann said there are perhaps 90

clubs in New Jersey, but only about a dozenhave lasted as long as CS Gymnastics. Thisis certainly an excellent track record andeveryone involved at CS Gymnastics shouldbe very proud of this.

Currently Moormann said she has thegoal of pushing to improve and upgrade tomake our customer service top notch.

Moormann and her husband are continu-ally looking for areas to serve the families of their community. CS Gymnastics is knownto offer courses that work with individualsof all age levels and abilities, and they evenhave two instructors that work with specialneeds children. These courses have resultedin positive therapy and a great learning envi-ronment for kids.

Moormann said she has a passion to seeall students succeed and grow as individuals,and enjoys seeing when a childs face lightsup after learning something brand new perhaps a certain gymnastics skill or makingit to the top of the climbing rope.

On Sunday, Sept. 28, from 2 to 5 pm,there is an open house to celebrate their 30thanniversary, and many activities beingoffered. There will be activities to try fromall their programs including an inflatableslide, obstacle course, balloons, prizes, and,of course cake. Phone number for CS

Gymnastics is 973-347-2771.

The cool, crisp days of autumn havearrived. As fall foliage creates a color-ful display and kids frolic in leaf pileson the lawn, you may want to pay some mindto a few lesser known facts about thisbeloved time of year. Autumn may call tomind Halloween and the return of school, butthere are other factors that make this seasonunique.

1. The first day of autumn is known as theautumnal equinox. On this day, the numberof hours of daylight and darkness are equal.This is because the sun is aligned with the

center of the Earth between the north andsouth of the planet. The other equinox occursin the spring, which arrives in the third weekof March in the Northern hemisphere.

2. In Greek mythology, autumn was atime when Persephone, the daughter of Demeter, was abducted by Hades, the god-king of the underworld. During this time,Demeter, the goddess of the harvest, was dis-traught and the ground grew sparse and cold.When Persephone returned in the springtime,plants and life bloomed anew because of Demeter's happiness.

12 Fun Facts About Autumn3. Those who live closest to the equator,

which is the center of the planet, never expe-rience the season of autumn. Around theequator, the temperature remains consistent-ly warm.

4. Yellow, orange and variations thereof always reside in the pigmentation of treeleaves, but they are just overpowered by theabundance of green from the chlorophyll inthe leaves. Come autumn, however, when thesun weakens and days grow shorter, theamount of chlorophyll in leaves diminishes,allowing the other pigments in the leaves toshow through.

5. Red and purple leaves are actuallycaused by the presence of sugars from sapthat is trapped inside of the leaves.

6. Fall is a peak migration time for manyspecies of birds. During autumn, birds willfly to other areas as they seek more hos-pitable climates. The Arctic tern journeysabout 11,000 miles each way for its annualmigration. That is like going all the wayacross the United States about three and ahalf times

7. Contrary to popular belief, squirrelswho have spent the entire autumn collectingacorns and other foods do not hibernate forthe winter. Rather, they spend the majority of

their time in nests they built to shelter themfrom harsh weather. When squirrels do come

out in winter, they are usually tunnelingunder the snow to find the food they buriedduring the fall.

8. Several cultures have ancient traditionsthat coincide with autumn. For example, theChinese celebrate the Moon Festival to givethanks for a successful summer harvest.

9. Halloween is a large part of autumn.The concept of wearing masks and costumeshails from ancient Celtic tradition. The Celtsbelieved ghosts roamed on Halloween, andpeople wore disguises to hide from the spir-its.

10. You're bound to see pumpkins as partof autumn decor. The pumpkin was firstnamed by the Greeks. They called this edibleorange item "pepon," which means "large

melon."11. Evergreen trees will not lose their

leaves like deciduous trees. Their leaves, alsocalled needles, are covered with a thick wax.This wax protects the inner components of the needles, preventing them from freezing.

12. Autumn also signals another colorfulspectacle apart from the tree leaves. Theaurora borealis, also known as the NorthernLights, tends to be visible this time of year.This is because geomagnetic storms areabout twice as likely to occur during the fall

thanks to cool evening weather.

P lastic bottles are routinely recycled into other plas-tic items and new bottles, but they can be turnedinto much more. When you were sipping waterfrom that bottle, you probably never thought of the possi-bilities of wearing that very plastic. However, fabricinnovators are turning disposed plastic into durable gar-ments. When compared with producing virgin materials,recycling plastic products helps save up to 70 percent onenergy costs. Recycled bottles can be broken down intopellets of pure recycled plastic that is virtually indistin-guishable from virgin plastic. Then the pellets are turnedinto yarn, which can be woven as-is or mixed with otheryarns to produce polyester clothing. According to Waste2 Wear, a recycled clothing company, anywhere from 12to 20 bottles can be saved per garment and transformedinto anything from robes to shirts to uniforms. Recycledclothing presents yet another way to turn trash into treas-ure.

Thomas Edison had an unconventional education. Hedid not start school until he was eight years old. PortHeron Michigan did not have a public school so heattended the private Reverend G. B. Engle School that wasclosest to his home. This school had rigid classroom disci-pline and Edison had a free inquisitive spirt that could notbe tamed. The school claimed Edison was a slow and rest-less pupil and he needed strict reprimanding. His motherNancy Edison strongly disagreed with the schools evalua-tion of her child. Fortunately, Nancy Edisons past profes-sion was being a Canadian school teacher and her solutionwas to home school her own son. The academic coursework Nancy Edison helped to motivate her son came fromreading R.G. Parker's School of Natural Philosophy and inthe later years from The Cooper Union (http://www.coop-er.edu/). Historians estimate that Edison had less than a

year of classroom schooling in his lifetime. Yet, he hadgreat academic skills and a real passion for reading books.Many of the books he read were advanced literary works forhis age.

In Edisons boyhood era, child labor laws were nonexist-ent or very lax. It was not unusual for children twelve yearsof age to procure regular employment with minimal adultsupervision. The Fort Gratiot train depot was a just a shortstroll from the Edison family home. So, at the age of twelve, Edison found his first job working for the railroad.He became a candy butcher on the Grand Trunk Railroadselling snacks and newspapers to passengers. He got toexperience traveling each day on the sixty-mile run fromPort Huron to Detroit. Preteenager Edison hitched a ride on

the best the late 19th Century offered in distance high speedtransportation while most adults were still traveling byhorse and carriage to their jobs. The long lay overs in thiscity presented him with a real world of discovery. Thisenabled a precocious young boy the time to explore the big

metropolis on his own terms. He was given several hourseach day to the city. He made use of this idle time by join-ing the Detroit Young Men's Society. This gave him accessto the place of his dreams, a large library and reading room.Edison recalled his childhood library visits stating "I didn'tread a few books, I read the library."

Edisons childhood jobs kept him in the epicenter of technology. It was the rail system that also ushered in thetelegraph system. The telegraph area was news the networkcenter that provided the information for the newspaper pub-lication industry. As the rail station newspaper boy, he wasin the epicenter of all national news during a momentoustime of Americas own Civil War. Young Edison was alert-ed to milestone battlefront news hours or even days beforethe rest of America. This new technology of the telegraphpiqued his interest. He got to witness the telegram transmis-sions being relayed and he read all he could about telegraphcommunications with dreams of being an operator of thisnew technology. Edison wish came true by a twist of fate.Edison got the telegraph operator position when he savedthree-year-old Jimmie MacKenzie from a runaway trainheading his way. Jimmie's father was the Mount Clemens,Michigan station agent J.U. MacKenzie and his gratitudefor saving his sons life was to train Edison as the new tele-graph operator. This was a job that started the innovativeand technical journey that would become the hallmark of

his ingenious life.Thomas Edison had an extraordinary blended education

of dual experimental and academic learning. But his deep-est gratitude was to his professional academic teacher withthese sentiments "My mother was the making of me. Shewas so true, so sure of me; and I felt I had something to livefor, someone I must not disappoint." And Thomas Edisonschildhood Fort Gratiot Depot was turned into The ThomasEdison Depot Museum that offers educational programs inelectricity, energy, communications and magnetism to PortHurons local children.
