    A volunteer driven community program has been activein Northwest New Jersey for the past two years. Called the

    Life Book Writing Project, it matches volunteers with com-

    munity members who wish to record their life experiences.

    The program is free of charge and aims to capture ones his-

    tory by having volunteers conduct oral interviews with sen-

    iors and transcribing them into a bound Life Book.

    Our older seniors have lived through some of the most

    dramatic events in world history. To lose that firsthand

    account of history would be wasting a valuable resource

    that we would never get back says Nancy Hess, Director of

    Skylands RSVP, a Rockaway based volunteer resource cen-

    ter. RSVP is part of a national program sponsored locally byNORWESCAP, a community action program active in

    Northwest New Jersey

    The interviewers, using digital voice recorders loaned to

    them by the organization, are trained in interviewing skills

    and in working with older adults. The next training for vol-

    unteer interviewers/writers is scheduled in Morris County.

    The training provides the volunteers with questions to ask

    as well as tips for active listening. Each completed book is

    presented as a gift to the senior.

    Some give these memoirs to family members, others

    plan to donate them to the local library or historical society,

    and some just want to hold onto them as a reminder of theirlife. One recipient was so pleased with the result that he

    considered self publishing his Life Book. Amazing histori-

    cal stories are locked into the memories of many of our sen-

    iors. Its especially wonderful when these are unlocked

    for family and friends. Not too long ago a grateful recipient

    wrote a letter to the volunteer after the completion of the

    Life Book. The note read in part: I want you to know how

    Senior Memoirs Tell Wonderful Storiesmuch I appreciated your help and guidance with my biog-

    raphy. You made a mostly uneventful life book more inter-

    esting than it was. It will not make it to the NY Times Best

    Seller List, but it will make it into the hearts of an apprecia-

    tive family, friends and me.Training for new volunteers who want to put their inter-

    viewing, writing and editing skills to use in the community

    will take place at Skylands RSVP's office in Rockaway. For

    more information about the program, or to sign up for the

    training class, please call Stan Gabay at 973-784-4900 ext.

    by Jeanine Tesori. The show brings the hilarious story of

    everyone's favorite ogre to dazzling new life on the stage.

    In a faraway kingdom turned upside down, things get ugly

    when an unseemly ogre not a handsome prince

    shows up to rescue a feisty princess. Throw in a donkey

    who won't shut up, a bad guy with a SHORT temper, a

    cookie with an attitude and over a dozen other fairy tale

    misfits, and you've got the kind of mess that calls for a realhero. Luckily, there's one on hand...and his name is Shrek.

    Full of all-new songs, great dancing and breathtaking

    scenery, SHREK THE MUSICAL is part romance, part

    twisted fairy tale and all irreverent fun for everyone!

    beloved family cat is sick, and hes the target of Ralph

    Marruci, class bully. But he has an escape daydreaming.He imagines himself a prizefighter and draws caricatures

    ning composer Michael Silversher to create this heart-

    warming and hilarious musical. Based on the beloved

    father, and her favorite stuffed bunny on a trip to the laun-

    dromat. The trip brings wonder, excitement and joy to the

    Bunny back at the laundromat. Trixie does everything in

    her power to make her father understand the emergency,

    Today we have the great fortune to

    still have an up close and personalview of the family lifestyle of

    Thomas Edison. Many of the familys per-

    sonal letters, records and diaries have been

    preserved and even scanned, categorized

    and electronically archived by the dedicated

    Thomas Edison Papers Project team at

    Rutgers University (edison.rutgers.edu).

    The other curators of his home and home

    furnishings have come under the care of

    professional National Park Service ranger

    curators. The NPS West Orange Glenmont

    home has also received great private com-munity support from The Friends of

    Thomas Edison (foedison.org) to preserve

    the artifacts that belong to Edisons person-

    al family history. Time has lost the local

    West Orange, NJ residents that would give

    firsthand accounts of social interactions by

    the Edison family. However, there is a

    wealth of family items left behind that we

    can still sense the spirit and personality of

    Thomas Edison, Mina Edison and their

    three children growing up in the West

    Orange estate home. Todays Thomas

    Edison admirers want to peer into the per-

    sonal history of his family life along with

    the history of his great inventions.What these personal articles have ren-

    dered was that the Edison Family enjoyed

    using prank toys on their guests and igniting

    small explosives for entertainment. The

    NPS curators have helped present the fun

    mischievous side of the Edison Family by

    displaying these items to the public. Mina

    Edison supported these activities for her

    family in the late 1890s. She added the

    Electric Thriller to the Christmas Toy list.

    The Electric Thriller was an electric shock

    toy. The park curators have showcased thisitem as part of the Christmas Holiday exhib-

    it collection.

    Thomas Edison had a legendary child-

    hood history for accidentally exploding

    things such as - vacant train cars and the

    family basement room from his novice

    chemistry experiments. This continued into

    his adulthood when he attempted to invent a

    gun-powder powered engine for a helicop-

    ter. It became a scrapped project when this

    invention exploded inside his factory lab.

    Still, his dangerous reputation with explo-

    Thomas Edison The Dad -Allowed Electric Shock Toys And Home Fireworks

    sives did not deter him for having his own

    familys stash of fireworks for the July 4th

    celebration which he stated was his favoriteholiday. Madeline, Charles and Theodore

    were Edisons younger children from his

    second wife Mina. They got to have memo-

    rable childhoods at the Glenmont estate

    home and a chance to enjoy their fathers

    orchestrated firework celebrations both at

    the Glenmont home and their retreat home

    in Fort Myers, Florida. Found in the Edison

    archives of household bills is the July 1893firework purchase of: "two dozen packages

    of Electric Torp., one Dragons Nest, one

    Devil Among the Tailor, one Surprise Box,

    one Floral Fount(ain), one (dozen) Rockets,

    one (dozen) 10 B.R. Candles, 1 lb. Colored

    kids did not only have cool parents that

    bought fireworks, they had a dad who also

    invented a few celebratory explosive items

    in his lab for the family. The ones that their

    dad made had a bigger bang to them.

    By Cheryl Conway

    Louis Picone of Succasunna is hoping

    to get to Hawaii, not necessarily for

    the beaches, luaus, volcanoes and

    palm trees, but to visit the birthplace of

    President Barack Obama.Picone, 42, has visited most of the birth

    places of the 43 presidents of the United

    States, as part of his research in his first

    published book Where the Presidents Are

    Born: The History and Preservation of the

    Presidential Birthplaces. The 192-page

    soft cover book was published Oct. 28,

    2012 by Schiffer Publishing in Atglen, Pa.

    Since most of the presidents were born

    on the East Coast, Picone did not have to

    travel more than a couple of days at a time

    to get the information he needed. But to getto Obamas birth site, travel is much more

    extensive.

    I havent gotten there yet, says Picone.

    Hes the furthest.

    An Information Technology manager at

    Express Scripts in Franklin Lakes, Picone

    knew he always wanted to write a book. He

    stumbled across the idea of the presidential

    birth places in 2008 during his trip to Ohio.

    I was actually travelling to Louisville,

    Kentucky to go to a Beatles festival,

    explains Picone. My oldest son Vincent at

    the time was five and he just started liking

    Beatles music so I thought this would be a

    fun road trip. I also brought my parents and

    my oldest niece Danielle. Our road trip

    took us through Ohio where we visited all

    of the presidential birthplaces. He discov-ered that there were seven presidents born

    in Ohio.

    After the Beatles festival we then went

    to Abraham Lincoln's birthplace in

    Hodgenville, Kentucky, says Picone. The

    story of the log cabin where he was born is

    one of the most fascinating stories of them

    all!

    After his trip, Picone says it got me

    thinking about their birth places and how I

    wanted to visit all of them. By birthplace I

    mean the home they were born in. In somecases this was the home they grew up in, but

    in other cases they moved out when they

    were young or they were born in a home

    other than their family home. For those

    presidents born in a hospital (Carter,

    Clinton, Bush II, and Obama) I write about

    the hospital as well as their first home.

    Being born in a home rather than in the

    hospital was the norm years ago, says

    Picone. Carter was born in 1924 and the

    only reason he wasn't born at home was that

    his mother was a nurse at the hospital and

    the doctors figured if she had her baby at the

    hospital she would recover quicker and

    therefore not be out of work as long.

    Nowadays home births are very rare, but

    before the twentieth century it was the

    norm.Finding the actual birth place was not

    always easy, especially for the less popular

    presidents.

    Some were easy to find; some were

    harder to find, says Picone. They werent

    these big popular tourist sites. So many of

    them have really interesting stories. A lot

    of the birth sites were recreated after they

    became president.

    What started out as a hobby for one

    year visiting birthplaces, grew into a book-

    worth of information. Picone sent one chap-ter of his book idea- the chapter on Grover

    Cleveland - the 22nd and 24th president and

    only president born in New Jersey - to

    Schiffer Publishing, which then gave him a

    six month deadline to finish the book.

    Although there were 43 presidents,

    Picone included an additional chapter on

    Jefferson Davis who was elected president

    of the Confederate States of America from

    1861 to 1865.

    In each of the 44 chapters, Picone pro-

    vides vital birthplace information such as

    location, how long the president lived in the

    home, style of the home, if its still in exis-

    tence, if there is a replica, how its commem-

    orated, if its open to the public, cost;

    address/directions; what you will find there

    today; History of the home - starting back

    from the native Indians and first settlers, the

    history of the property owners, when the

    home was built, previous owners, other his-

    torical events that occurred at the home.

    Picone also writes about what happened to

    the home after the birth, whether it burned

    down, got different owners, destroyed or

    moved; Preservation - The story about how

    it was preserved whether it be a recreation

    site, the original home or an historic mark-er. For Franklin Pierce, his birthplace was

    submerged beneath a lake when a nearby

    river was dammed in 1926.

    He also includes visitor information and

    personal experiences.

    Picone groups the book into three differ-

    ent sections: the Colonial Presidents which

    includes the first 15 presidents who were

    born on the East Coast; Westward

    Expansion, or 15 presidents who lived more

    out west; and From Sea to Shiny Sea, or

    more Central America to the middle of theU.S.

    Described as non-fiction, historical and a

    travel book, Picone says his book can be

    used for teaching purposes and is currently

    in 40 college libraries.

    Besides having a fascination with these

    gentlemen, Picone says they all disserve

    respect and their birthplaces should be cele-

    brated and preserved. I really think people

    should care about the Presidential birth-

    places because there has been a lot of inter-

    esting and quirky stories related to thePresidential birthplaces that most people

    dont know. I didnt either until I started my

    research.

    For instance, the first Thanksgiving was

    celebrated at William Henry Harrison's

    birthplace Berkeley Plantation in 1619,

    two years before the

    Pilgrims celebrated

    the "first"Thanksgiving in

    Massachusetts, says

    Picone. Wyatt

    Earp's cousin once

    lived in Harry S

    Truman's birthplace.

    He sold souvenir post-

    cards and various other

    Wyatt Earp and

    Harry S. Truman

    novelties and if a visitor

    spent fifty cents, heshowed them the birth

    room for free. William

    McKinley's birthplace

    was cut in half, with one

    side going on display in a

    nearby amusement park

    and the other rented for office space. They

    were later reunited and turned into a muse-

    um, however after a few years the museum

    went under and the home was abandoned.

    In the depression, hobos used the home for

    shelter until it burnt to the ground in 1937.These are just a few of the fascinating sto-

    ries associated with the Presidential

    Birthplaces.

    Picones fascination with the presidents

    continues as he

    writes his second

    book on where the

    presidents died.

    Hoping to havethis one complet-

    ed by 2015,

    Picone is trying

    to include infor-

    mation on where

    they died, where

    the funeral was

    held, where

    they were

    buried, and if

    they were

    reburied.A 1992

    graduate of

    R i d e r

    U nive r s i t y

    with a degree in

    computer science, Picone says I always did

    enjoy writing. I always felt I wanted to

    write a book and I knew I had one in me. I

    love the research, the interviewing. I

    enjoyed visiting the sites. Some of his

    work was like detective work.

    Picone got his information from 600sources and other books; old newspapers

    from the 1800s and early 1900s; the

    National Park Service; and historical publi-

    cations.

    A highlight from his writing the book

    was meeting Jimmy Carter. Picone had been

    visiting Carters birth place in Plains, Ga.,

    when he discovered that Carter still lives

    there and the entire town was turned into theJimmy Carter National Historical Site by

    the National Park Service. While there,

    Picone went to his church and in comes

    Jimmy Carter who is still an active mem-

    ber.

    He sat there for his service, says

    Picone. I met him and his wife Rosalynn. I

    got to talk to him for five minutes. I told

    him I was writing the book. He told me

    about his boyhood home and where it was

    located. They even took a photo together.

    That was my favorite birthplace.Although he works full time, is married

    and is the father of two boys, Picone says I

    squeeze it in whenever I can sneak down to

    the basement to write for 45 minutes. If

    there is something you really like to do you

    will find the time to do it.

    Birthplaces is available online through

    Barbie received her

    name because she is

    just a doll!

    Barbie is a friendly pup

    who loves hanging out with

    people & she loves playingwith other dogs. This affec-

    tionate pup is easy going &

    sweet. With her unique

    look it's hard to tell what

    breed she is mixed with, but

    we do know she is 100%

    sweetness.

    Barbie is about 1 year

    old & weighs about 35

    pounds. She has a gorgeous

    face with some white on it

    & a redish-tan color softcoat on her body.

    Barbie is in a foster

    home in NJ after being

    found as a stay in NC. She

    was taken to an over popu-

    lated shelter and when

    FHDR found out what a doll

    she is, we brought her to NJ.

    Within minutes of meeting

    Barbie, she won our hearts!

    In her foster home, she

    gets to go on walks and play

    Barbie Wants A New Home!

    with the foster's dogs. She

    is enjoying yummy treats &

    good food and she even gets

    to sleep on a comfy bed. Her

    foster family thinks she is a

    special girl!

    If you have a furever

    home for this pet, please e-

    mail FureverHomeRescue

    What a cutie

    Donnie is! With

    his melting eyes,

    floppy ears, soft fur and del-

    icate body, who could resist

    him!Donnie is a playful and

    happy puppy with a sweet

    personality. He is living in a

    foster home in NJ after

    being rescued from an over

    crowded shelter in NC. He

    is about 14-16 weeks old,

    weighs about 20-25 pounds

    and his foster family thinks

    he is amazing.

    Donnie likes running

    around the yard playingwith toys and playing with

    other dogs. You can see him

    in the video playing with his

    friend Oscar (who is up for

    adoption) and the foster's

    dog Cookie. They have lots

    of fun playing together!

    Donnie's foster family

    says "Donnie loves being

    with people and likes to sit

    with you and cuddle. He is a

    genuine cuddle bug. Donnie

    sleeps through the night

    without having an accident

    and he is doing great with

    house training. We think

    Donnie would make a won-

    derful family dog!"

    Even though he is having

    fun in his foster home.

    Donnie would really love a

    family of his own. He

    would make a wonderful

    friend.
