Drew University Library in Madison presents its
Out of the Vault Series for fall 2015.
On Tues., Nov. 3, at 4 p.m., Cassie Brand, Methodist
Library associate and Special Collections cataloger atDrew University will speak at the Wilson Reading
Room, United Methodist Archives and History Center.
Artist Jacob Landau will be featured. Landau’s art
communicates his consciousness of humankind’s
predicament, its beauty, and its horror. Growing up dur-
ing the Great Depression and having been profoundly
affected by the Holocaust, Landau’s work expresses the
self-inflicted human turmoil of the 20th century. He
often drew from biblical or literary sources, presenting
unpleasant topics in a way that emphasized the unlimit-
ed possibilities of peace and greater understanding.
This Out of the Vault session explores Landau’s art-
work through his lithographic works, woodcuts, and
book illustration. Attendees will explore drafts through
finished product, see the evolution of his artistic style,
and view some of the most visually stunning items from
Special Collections.
The Out of the Vault series is sponsored by the
Department of Special Collections and University Art in the Archive: Exploring Jacob Landau
Archival Art Collections Featured At Drew University Archives of the Drew University Library in Madison.
Each interactive session introduces participants to a
particular Drew archival collection while providing
opportunities for engagement with the materials. The
sessions take place in the Wilson Reading Room of theUnited Methodist Archives and History Center and are
free and open to the Drew community and general pub-
lic. For additional information, email [email protected]

Madison Offers Influenza Immunizations For Residents
Madison Chamber Of Commerce ToSponsor Halloween Hoopla
Propaganda And The Shoah Topic Of Discussion At Drew
(CDC) for everyone over the age of six
months. According to the CDC, vaccination
is especially important for people at higherrisk of severe influenza and their close con-
tacts, including healthcare personnel and
close contacts of children younger than sixmonths. Everyone is encouraged to receive
the 2015-2016 flu vaccine. Most people areill with flu for only a few days, but some get
much sicker and may need to be hospital-
ized. Influenza causes an average of 36,000
deaths each year in the U.S., mostly among
the elderly.
The 2015-16 flu vaccine offers protectionagainst A/California (H1N1), A/Switzerland
(H3N2), B/Phuket, and B/Brisbane, the
expected strains of seasonal flu. It takes up
to two weeks for protection to develop afterthe shot and protection may last for up to
one year.
Since most influenza occurs from Nov.through May, peaking between Dec. and
Feb., now is the best time to get a flu shot toinsure full protection for the whole season.
However, vaccinations may be given any
time during the flu season and it is not too
late to get vaccinated as long as flu viruses
are circulating in the community.
Any questions, call the Madison HealthDepartment at 973-593-3079 ext.9.

Thousands of people from across the region are
expected to come out for the annual Friendship
Circle (FC) Walk on Sun., Oct. 25, in Livingston.
In its ninth year, the FC Walk is a fun day that supports
children with special needs.
The event features a one-mile fundraising walk to
raise awareness of and support for programs for families
with children with special needs. Following the walk
will be a Friendship Fair with a petting zoo, inflatable
rides, batting cages, food and more.
This year’s highlight will be a performance by the
singing sensation the Maccabeats. The a cappella group
is best known for their 2010 hit single “Candlelight,”
about the holiday of Hannuka. They have since gone on
a world tour and recorded many other hit songs.
This year’s FCwalk and Friendship Fair will be held
at the Joseph Kushner Hebrew Academy in Livingston.
Registration begins at noon and the walk kick-off fol-
lows at 1 p.m.
More than 2,000 people attended last year’s FCwalk
and Friendship Fair and organizers are anticipating an
even-larger crowd this year.
“When thousands of families get together at the
FCwalk that sends a powerful message to local families
who have children with special needs – a message of
support, a message of caring, a message of friendship,”
says FC Executive Director Rabbi Zalman Grossbaum.
“Plus, it’s a great way to spend time with family and
friends.”
New to the Fun Fair will be a virtual reality display
that will allow people to take a VR tour of LifeTown, a
soon-to-be-built center in Livingston that will redefine
the landscape for individuals with special needs.
The 47,000-square-foot social, educational and recre-
ational center, LifeTown will be fully inclusive so that
all children regardless of their abilities will be able to
enjoy the benefits of play and friendship, while receiv-
ing needed therapies and learning vital life skills. It will
serve as the base for all FC programs and more.
A non-profit organization, Friendship Circle in
Livingston is a primary resource for families who have
children and teens with special needs. At the core of all
FC programs is the belief that each person can be a pro-
ductive member of the community and can benefit from
the friendship of their peers.
To create a fundraising team, learn more about the
Friendship Circle or the annual walk, visit
www.fcwalk.com or call 973-251-0200.

Halloween is a fun and festive time for children and
families but, for some pets it can be a downrightnightmare. Here are some simple steps for taking
the stress and danger out of Halloween for a hound.
Candy is for people, not pets. All kinds of chocolate-
especially baking and dark chocolate can be dangerous,
even lethal for dogs. Symptoms of chocolate poisoning
may include vomiting, diarrhea, rapid breathing, increasedheart rate and seizures. Halloween candies containing the
artificial sweetener xylitol can also be poisonous to dogs.
Don’t leave pets out in the yard on Halloween. Vicious
pranksters have been known to tease, injure or steal pets
on Halloween night. Inexcusable certainly, but preventa-ble.
Keep pets in a quiet, confined area away from the door
and trick-or-treaters. Doorbells ringing, doors constantly
opening and closing on Halloween coupled with strangers
dressed in unusual costumes and yelling loudly for candyare all scary for furry friends. Dogs are especially territo-
rial and may become anxious and growl at innocent trick-
or-treaters. Putting a dog away isn’t being mean- it will
provide them with some quiet, ensure they won’t run off
and keep them happy and safe.
Keep Halloween plants/decorations out of reach.Pumpkins, corn and mums are wonderful Halloween and
Fall decorations that look great but are not necessarily dog
friendly. Although, relatively nontoxic, such plants cancause stomach upset and intestinal blockage if large pieces
are ingested.
Don’t keep lit pumpkins around your dog. If a dog gets
too close to a lit pumpkin, they run the risk of burning
themselves or knocking things over and causing a fire.Keep them out of reach.
Keep wires, electric light cords and strings of lights out
of reach. Wires, electric cords and strings of lights all have
shards of glass and plastic in them. Chewed on, they are
dangerous and could even cause a possible life-threaten-
ing electric shock.Costumes- love it or leave it. If you decide that Fido
needs a costume, make sure it’s safe and not annoying. A
costume should not constrict movement, hearing, or the
ability to breathe or bark. Try on the pooch’s costume
before the big night. If the dog seems distressed, allergicor just plain doesn’t like it, skip it.
ID for a dog. This is a good time to remind dog owners
the importance of having proper identification for a
pooch. If a dog should become lost, get spooked and
escape, having the proper identification will increase the
chances that they will be returned. Make sure tag informa-tion is up to date- better yet, get a microchip for Fido.
Halloween season can be a festive time for the whole
family, dogs included. Costume parties and trick-or-treat-
ing make much of October a fun time of the year.
Especially for a pooch, keep things more fun than fright-
ful. Dogs spook easily and can be skittish when startled.
Here’s wishing all humans and canines a happy and safe
Halloween 2015- no scaredy-cats allowed!

With many Morris County residents now enjoyingthe fall hiking season, the New JerseyDepartment of Environmental Protection is
reminding those residents of ways to reduce black bearencounters, and offering tips should they come within close
range of black bears in the county’s and region’s many nat-ural areas.
The DEP’s advice follows a recent bear-human interac-tion at Ramapo Mountain State Forest in Bergen County,when a pair of hikers, including a 7-year-old boy, wereclosely followed by a potentially aggressive black bear at theforest.
Black bears are found throughout Morris County and areoften observed in some county parks. Most encounters willresult with the bear running away but if it doesn’t leave, usecommon sense and never approach the bear. Do not attemptto take selfies with your phone camera.
If a bear is seen, in particular one that does not showmuch fear, immediately contact the Department of Environmental Protection’s hotline at 877-927-6337, or(877) WARN-DEP. If a bear encounter occurs in a MorrisCounty Park immediately contact the Park Police at 973-326-7654.
In most cases, encounters between people and blackbears end without incident. However, black bears are wildanimals and the Division of Fish and Wildlife reminds thepublic that it is very important for people who live in or visitNJ’s bear country – which includes Morris County -- to bealert to their presence, especially when hiking.
The Division of Fish and Wildlife offers the followingtips when hiking in bear country: never feed or approach abear; make presence on the trail known by speaking loudly,singing, clapping hands, or making other noises; remaincalm; do not run from it; do not make direct eye contact with
the bear, as this may be perceived as a challenge; slowlyback away; make sure the bear has an escape route; if thebear continues to follow or is otherwise undeterred, makeloud noises by yelling, blow a whistle, bang pots and pans,or use an air horn, if available; look as big as possible bywaving arms; if with someone else, stand close together witharms raised above the head.
If a bear stands on its hind legs or moves closer, it maybe trying to get a better view or detect scents in the air. It isusually not a threatening behavior.
The bear may utter a series of huffs, make popping jawsounds by snapping its jaws and swat the ground. These arewarning signs that the person is too close. Slowly backaway, avoid direct eye contact and do not run.
Black bears will sometimes “bluff charge” when cor-nered, threatened or attempting to steal food. Stand ground,avoid direct eye contact, then slowly back away and do notrun.
Black bear attacks are extremely rare. However, if onedoes attack, fight back. Do not “play dead.”
In addition, families who live in areas frequented byblack bears should have a "Bear Plan" in place for children,with an escape route and planned use.
The Division of Fish and Wildlife offers these other
important rules to help minimize conflicts with black bears:if a bear enters a home, provide it with an escape route bypropping all doors open; invest in certified bear-resistantgarbage containers, which offer the best protection. If notusing bear-proof garbage containers, store all garbage in
containers with tight fitting lids in a secure area where bearsare unlikely to see or smell them, such as a basement or theinside wall of a garage.
Business owners should contact their sanitation companyto acquire a bear resistant dumpster if they are having issueswith black bears; use electric fencing to protect livestock andbeehives. It is the most effective and efficient way to preventbear damage. A properly installed and baited electric fencenot only deters bears, but teaches them to keep away.
Put garbage out on collection day, not the evening before;wash garbage and recycling containers with a disinfectant atleast once a week to reduce odors; draping an ammonia- orbleach-soaked cloth over containers will help to eliminateodors; do not place meat or sweet food scraps in compostpiles; feed birds only from Dec.1 to April 1, when bears areleast active; feed outdoor pets during daylight hours only;immediately remove all food scraps and bowls after feeding;clean outdoor grills thoroughly after each use. Grease andfood residue can attract bears. Do not leave food unattendedwhile camping or picnicking.

Fall is here and is such a beautiful timeof year so, grab family, friends or Fidoand head outdoors for some fun
autumn enjoyment. It is a great time of year
to go on long walks, hikes or spend time ina dog park.
Fall is probably the perfect time of yearto be a dog. It’s not too hot or too cold, theair is fresh and brisk and dogs and peoplewant to spend more time outdoors. The cool-er temperatures will allow kids and Fido toenjoy more time outdoors without becomingoverheated.
It’s also the perfect season to take apooch along with family to a local pumpkinpatch or apple picking. Farms often offer
hay rides or corn mazes (not haunted- theywill probably spook younger kids or dogs)and many permit dogs. Don’t forget to berespectful and clean up after dogs, bringplenty of fresh, cool water and don’t forgetthe flea and tick prevention for the entirefamily. Getting there can be fun for Fido tooas it’s an ideal time of year for rolling downthe car windows and letting a dog’s ears flapin the wind.
There are several local farms in the area
that offer markets, activities and lots of weekend fun. Grab the family and dog,leashed of course, and head to Ort Farms inLong Valley. Opened from March toDecember, Ort is a
family owned andoperated farm thathas been serving thecommunity since1916. The 400 acrefarm offers apple andpumpkin picking-right off the vine,corn maze, pies, fallfruits and vegetablesand pasture raisedbeef and pork.
According to Nicole Ort-Moke, farmmanager and fifth generation owner, “Fall isa great time on the farm. Our weekends arebustling with activities such as train, ponyand monster truck rides, friendly farm ani-mals, picnic area and the ever popular applecannon. We also have food tents on theweekend operated by local non-profits.” OrtFarms also participates in several farmers’markets throughout Northern N.J. and hostsprivate parties.
Donaldson Farms has been a familyowned and operated farm since 1906.Located on over 100 acres, theHackettstowm farm features seasonal fresh
fruits and vegeta-
bles, pumpkin pick-ing, berry picking,farm education,group tours, privatetours, birthday par-ties, corporateevents and fun forthe whole family.
D o n a l d s o nFarms also offersseasonal family funwith attractions
including a corn maze, farm animals, pick-your-own fields, hayrides, pony rides andmore.
Debbie Williams, market manager atDonaldson Farms says the year round mar-ket is “open and stocked with a full line of fresh fruits, vegetables, fresh baked pies andother delicious baked goods, dairy products,syrups, local honey, our own jellies, jam,sauce and salsa, gluten free products, and afantastic selection of local products from
local vendors – neighbors and friends in ourcommunity. Some of our selection includesArctic Meats, Byrne Dairy, Greene’s BeansCoffee, beautiful local gift boxes and bas-kets, John Deere toys and New Jersey
Audubon birdseed and feeders.”Fall is also the time to start prepping for
all the Halloween costume contests that thekids and dogs will enter. Their costumeshould be non-restrictive and safe. For pupsthat aren’t crazy about costumes, how aboutan autumn or scary themed bandana, coloror leash? They will feel comfortable andstill involved in all the family fun.
Remember the feeling what it felt like asa care-free kid to jump in a pile of freshlyraked leaves. Help kids and dogs make those
memories too. Let everyone in on the yardwork and watch the family run through theraked up leaf pile, throw a football around,chase a ball or maybe even take the perfectoutdoor family picture and turn it into a hol-iday card.
Whatever fall family activity is chosen,have fun!
Hayride to Pumpkin Patch, Farm AnimalArea, Play Area, Corn Maze Open Monday-Friday 12-6.

Casolaro was over-whelmed with support fromthe community and in 2010,founded Halos For Angels

launched on Jan. 7, 2010, a501(c) 3, a nonprofit charitythat helps community fami-lies in need due to suddentragedy. It offers temporarysupport and services untilthe families are back ontheir feet once again.
“Halos For Angels, Inc.is for the people,” Casolaro
said. “A place where onegoes to give and to receive
through love. For no oneshould go through suddentragedy without personalconnection, support andlove of an angel.”
Casolaro, who is a moth-er of five children- with chil-dren in Hanover Park Highand Ridgedale Middle inFlorham Park- said the sup-port through her children’sfriends and families and theschools, was huge. HanoverPark High School has beenthe charity’s main supportsystem.
The high school has a
display in their lobby thathonors volunteers, promotesupcoming events, postscommunity outreach oppor-tunities and volunteersignups. Thomas Callanan,principal of Hanover ParkHigh was Halos For Angels,2015 Honorary OutstandingVolunteer Angel; he waspresented an award at thecharity’s annual “Love Is In
The Air” gala. Also present-ed with awards that evening

The fundraiser involvesmany volunteers, whichcome from Florham Park,Madison, Chatham, EastHanover, Roseland,Livingston, West Orange,Whippany and as far asSparta and Newton. Theorganization has helpedmore than 81 families since
its inception.“It has been a privilegeand honor to have been cho-sen to help serve our 81recipients,” Casolaro said.

service in the Morris and Somerset communitiesat its ‘Turning Leaves’ fundraiser on Thurs. Oct.
22, at The Wyndham Hamilton Park Hotel in Florham

nition of the importance of early childhood educationand the inability of financially-challenged families to
access quality early childhood education programs.

throughout Morris County and one additional school
located in Somerset County. Children from disadvan-
taged families arrive at kindergarten with a significantachievement gap in the knowledge, vocabulary and
social skills necessary to complete and succeed in
school. Preschool Advantage closes the achievement
gap between low income students and their peers.
