It’s October - so think apple picking and apple cider - New Jersey traditions. New Jersey and Chatham have a long history which includes not only the cider as we know it today but also an alcoholic hard cider know as Applejack. Sheila Goggins of the Chatham Township Historical Society penned a great article entitled Apples: A Symbol of American History and Chatham Township Local Farm Lore on page 13. By the way, if you are looking for a great local farm to go apple picking, check out Hillview Farms in Gillette. They are about 15 minutes from us on Meyersville Road. Website is: http://hillviewfarmnj.com/ I recommend that you go in the am, they tend to get a bit crowded on weekend afternoons in October.

EXPERT CONTRIBUTOR
I LOVE TO READ
Contributed by Maureen McGovern, Owner
I
love to read. My favorite books from the summer of 2018 were Rocket Men by Robert Kurson, The Great Alone by Kristin Hannah and The Alice Network by Kate Quinn. Unfortunately, too many of the students I have had the privilege of working with say they are slow readers and hate reading; they see reading as a chore, not the escape I know it to be! This year I decided to find out why and find a way to do something to change students’ perspective on reading. Educators are always looking to improve the quality and effectiveness of classroom teaching and different philosophies come and go. Reading is a good example. Phonics based methods morphed into whole language which grew into Common Core standards and its focus on Close Reading. While some students do just fine learning with new philosophies and techniques, others do not. In reading, both comprehension and speed matter. While Close Reading focuses on comprehension, there is little in classrooms today that focuses on speed. Yet standardized tests all assume students can read at grade appropriate words per minute (WPM). Reading rates can be categorized into three speeds: reading for memorization (similar to Close Reading, 100 wpm*) reading for learning new material (the first time a reader is exposed to the subject, 100 to 200 wpm) and reading for comprehension (regular day-to-day reading; books, articles, news and the like, 200-400 wpm). In May we began assessing students and the results were startling. Two thirds of students read well below the rate for comprehension and a third of those students read at the memorization rate. This was true of academically strong students, average students, and students who struggle. Training students in elementary school to move from reading phonically to sight/visual reading is no longer part of the standard curriculum; consequently they sub-vocalize, say the words in their head. Since the fastest we can speak is 160 words a minute, the person who sub-vocalizes is destined to be a slow reader. Add the Close Reading training and the reader slows down even more. Since the average teen/adult can process nearly 500 words per minute, it is no wonder a slow reader finds reading boring. Our summer focus on reading saw speeds increase in each student. The highest achiever has moved from 107 wpm to 270 wpm. There are things that can be done to help a student increase their speed without decreasing their comprehension. The first step is our free assessment, our website; 10 | Chatham Living
www.academicjourneys.us/reading-matters will guide you. Our program isn’t just for summer, it works during the academic year too. Imagine how much easier homework will be if a student can double their reading speed! *wpm rates shown are for 10th grade. After a global career in human resources, Maureen McGovern changed her focus to students applying the same key services, strong counseling, proper guidance, and solid preparation. For 10 years Academic Journeys (formerly known as Chyten Tutors and Test Prep) has provided area families with academic support, test prep and admissions counseling. Working with students from 3rd grade through college, the team at AcJ guides students and families on their journey! maureen@academicjourneys.us 973 564 5220

CHARITY SPOTLIGHT
LIVESTRONG AT THE YMCA MADE PAM CUCCO SEE HERSELF WHOLE AGAIN By Stacey McEvoy her to leave the program before completing it. While she was recovering, the Madison Area YMCA’s Sr. Director of Healthy Living Joe Gonsalves, who facilitates the LIVESTRONG program, called Pam to invite her back—to begin the program again. “Who does that?” says an incredulous Pam. “What community institution actively seeks out one individual and offers them a free pass to an improved life?” She started the program for the second time and graduated. “There’s a sense of community with LIVESTRONG. Everyone who goes through LIVESTRONG is a warrior and they know what you’re going through,” she says. And, Pam pays it forward. Her quarterly check-ups at Memorial Sloan Kettering include visits with cancer patients to share words of hope and encouragement.

“L
IVESTRONG at the YMCA made me see my power,” says cancer survivor Pam Cucco. “It was a game changer. I immediately made use of the program at the Madison Area YMCA in order to work out—not only to physically rehabilitate but to ‘work out’ all that disappointment, hesitancy and apprehension.” Pam says that the way she sees it, “LIVESTRONG helped me to get my face on—literally!”
“LIVESTRONG gave me structure at a time in my life when there was none. I was able to see myself whole again. It gave me optimism and a sense of purpose,” Pam says, noting that she is indebted to the LIVESTRONG coaches. “They opened their hearts and hands in friendship. And what a boon to find a complimentary and holistic program in my own backyard.”
Three years ago, the Madison resident was diagnosed with a rare brain cancer that is usually diagnosed in children. The tumor had slid down her nasal passage and settled in her maxillary sinus. By the time her surgeries were completed, cancer had taken away most of her orbital floor, hard palate, left septum and teeth. “My plastic surgeon at Memorial Sloan Kettering told me, ‘I can’t make you look like God made you, but I will try my best,’” remembers Pam, who also felt empowered spiritually through the support of her church community at St. Vincent Martyr and pastor, Fr. George. Pam’s doctors recreated the left side of her face with titanium mesh. “It was amazing what they did,” says Pam. After successive radiation retreatments, though, Pam’s face was left asymmetrical. “Though my physical scars were minimal, my emotional ones were massive,” says the former elementary school teacher who received hundreds of letters from her students during treatments. Pam learned about the LIVESTRONG program at the Madison Area YMCA from fellow cancer survivors. With the support of her husband and two adult daughters, she embraced the 12-week, data-driven program, taking all the classes she could—including the integrative therapy offerings such as nutrition, balance, yoga, reiki and relaxation exercises. Partially through the program, Pam experienced a setback. She developed an infection that put her in the hospital and forced 12 | Chatham Living

Cortright’s Natural Apple Cider Bottle
pple picking and apple cider are a New Jersey fall tradition. Families flock to New Jersey farms to participate in this activity. For generations the process of making apple cider was a thriving business in Chatham Township. Apple Orchards were a frequent sight throughout the town. Locally grown apples were used not only as a food source, but to make homemade cider and alcoholic hard cider also known as applejack. Applejack is apple cider, which is distilled and made into apple brandy and was first produced in New Jersey by William Laird. The Laird family has produced applejack in New Jersey since 1698. In 1780, Laird’s descendants commercialized his product and sold it under the name Laird and Company in Scobeyville, New Jersey. During the Revolutionary War, Robert Laird served under George Washington. The Laird family provided George Washington and his troops that passed and settled at Loantaka in Chatham Township with applejack. The Chatham Township Historical Society has a gallon cider bottle at the Red Brick Schoolhouse museum that is labeled “Natural Apple Cider Contains No Preservative Distributed by Cortright’s Southern Boulevard, Chatham Twsp. N.J.” Ancestry. com and the Fishawack Papers tells us that the Cortright’s lived on Southern Boulevard in Chatham Township and had an apple orchard and apple cider business. The Cortright’s were active members of the Chatham Township community. Lincoln and Maria Noe Pierson had a family apple orchard on their farm. The Chatham and New Vernon News stated that the Schwartz family who came to Chatham in 1893 from Far Rockaway, New York, and ran a successful dairy farm and sold corn, string beans and asparagus, also had an apple orchard on their farm. The sale of apples and cider kept the family financially sound until they established their successful vegetable and dairy business. The Schwartz apple orchard was located on the west side of Long Hill. The dairy farm operated till 1969 when it was sold to Mr. Kaplan who developed the land as Arrowhead estates. The Schwartz farm was located in what is now Wickham Woods in Chatham Township. The Louis Noe family also had an extensive apple orchard on their farm. The Volstead Act of 1919 mandated prohibition, thereby forcing local farmers to dismantle their distilleries for alcoholic cider. The Laird’s produced non-alcoholic beverages until they were

granted a federal license under the Prohibition Act. Louis Noe and Louis Doremus, a Chatham Township resident, were brothers-inlaw. Together the two men manufactured alcohol. The Chatham Township Historical Society has a photo of the Noe Doremus alcohol still in The Great Swamp. During prohibition that still ran as a local meeting place for men in Chatham Township. Apples have a significant history not only in Chatham Township but also in the world. One of the earliest types of apple cider was developed in New Jersey and the apples trace back to trees planted in the 1630s. In the 17th century when the English colonists arrived in North America there were only crab apples. English settlers brought apple seeds with them to plant more varieties of apple trees in America. Apple seeds were also known as pips. Some colonists would save the cores, which contain apple seeds to plant seeds for more trees. When Isaac Newton discovered gravity, it is said it was while he watched apples fall from a tree. The Lenni Lenape Indians that once inhabited Chatham used apples for food and made juice to drink. Apples for the Indians were known to be good for the digestive process and to clean the teeth. Apple trees were often planted on farms to mark property. The folklore hero, Johnny Appleseed, an apple farmer, whose real name was John Chapman was known for planting apple trees from apple seeds, giving apple seeds to farmers heading west and for his friendship with the Native American Indians. When one planted apple trees on their land they indicated an intention to stay on the land. The apple trees were a way for settlers to stake claim to their land till they could go through the proper channels to acquire the land. Water in Europe was not always suitable for drinking and apple juice, cider and brandy provided a hydrating alternative beverage. During WW2, journalists would ask soldiers why they were fighting the war. A common slogan was, “For mom and apple pie.” Apple pie is a popular American dessert. Apples can also be canned, dried or frozen giving them a long shelf life. Today apples, cider, apple pies and other apple products can be found in most supermarkets and farm markets. Apple brandy and hard cider have become popular industries again and are sold in stores across the United States. Apples though not indigenous to the United States have become a symbol of American history and Chatham Township local farm lore. October 2018 | 13

HALLOWEEN - A HISTORY By Clarissa Woods
T
he night we now associate with masked fun and spooky décor dates back roughly 2000 years ago to a Celtic festival in the area that is now Ireland, the United Kingdom and northern France. The Celtic people celebrated their new year on November 1, a day marking the end of summer and the beginning of a harsh winter. Because the day marked the end of a cheerful summer and the beginning of a long, dark period of cold weather, it became associated with human death. It was Celtic tradition to believe that on the night of October 31, any boundary separating life and death dissolved and ghosts of the dead returned to earth. Sound scary? Well, not really. The Celts actually welcomed the spirits because they believed it made it easier for the Druids (Celtic priests) to predict the future of humanity. Also, the idea that ghosts returned to earth was a source of comfort for the Celts before the long winter. The occasion was celebrated with bonfires and people even wore masks in hopes of being recognized as ghosts, not humans.

In 43 A.D., the Roman Empire conquered Celtic territory and the Romans combined two of their festivals with the Celtic new year festival. The first of these festivals was called Feralia and took place late in October as a day to honor the dead. They also incorporated a day to honor Pomona, the Roman goddess of fruit and trees, hence the practice of “bobbing” for apples! In 609 A.D., Pope Boniface IV established the feast of All Martyrs Day in the Western church. This day began on May 13, but Pope Gregory III moved it to November 1. November 2 eventually became All Souls’ Day to honor the dead and essentially replace the Celtic tradition that had originally taken place on November 1. All Souls’ Day was even celebrated similarly to the Celtic new year with bonfires, masks, angels and devils. Another name for All Martyrs or All Saints’ Day was All-hallows, and the night before this occasion became known as All-hallows Eve and eventually Halloween. Halloween came to America in 1846 with Irish immigrants. By 1920 and 30, it had spread throughout the country. Halloween was actually originally a more trick-fueled holiday with hardly any treats. Neighborhoods would celebrate the occasion by sharing food and goodwill, but vandalism became rampant. To offset crime, people would bribe young children with savory treats, hence the term “trick-or-treat.”
