bout the Author Lauren Bishop: My passion has always been writing. Ive been writing since I was five years old. When we were moving out of our house and into a new house, my parents would tell my brothers and I that we could color on the walls because the new owner would paint over them anyway. As my brothers would draw pictures or write their name, I would draw pictures that led up to a story in my mind that nobody but myself would be able to figure out. Just like a child is attached to a favorite toy, I am attached writing. Writing has always been a way for me to express myself in ways I could not with other people. At twelve, I was given a diary. I wasnt sure what to do with it so I began writing about my day and other important events that would be coming up. Now, to this day I still keep a diary because if I didnt, I would be lost. Im too used to expressing my daily feelings. My best friend and I used to write short stories together about our favorite animals. Over the years, the stories would progressively get longer. As I got older, the animal phase stopped and I began to become interested in other topics. It wasnt until June 1, 2012 that I had gotten my first YA novel published. My publisher had told me she was so proud of me as I had a book signing at the Javits Center in NYC, at 20 years old. It was an amazing experience signing my novel with other authors who were all older than me. I had people coming up to me asking me how old I was and that they had heard about my book. My slogan was: Believe in true love? Think again. If you like romance, this is the book for you. For those
of you who believe dreams cant come true, think again. Ive always dreamed of writing a novel and my dream came true. So can yours. What's the name of the book? What's it about? The book is called Fate, Love, Tears. It is about the love between two teenagers, Allebrielle (Uh-Lee-Bree-Elle) and Rob, in which their love turns heavy fast, leading them on the path of twists, turns, struggles ... and a secret. The two teenagers are completely different but just so happened to fall in love, ever too quickly. Their relationship takes a turn for the worst, in a way that hasn't been done before in a romance novel. Who published your book? Where can it be purchased? I got it published by a [new publishing] company called Turn the Page Publishing, which is located in Montclair. It can be purchased on barnesandnoble.com, amazon.com, and is also available on Kindle and Nook. If you want to get my book cheaper and not pay shipping, follow me on Twitter (@author_lauren) or find me on Facebook (authorlaurenbishop) and keep and eye out for any next book signings where I can meet you and you can get my book without paying shipping. How long have you been writing for? Ive been writing since I was about five. My best friend and I used to write short stories together about our favorite animals. Over the years, the stories would progressively get longer. As I got older, the animal phase stopped and I began to become interested in other topics. What advice would you give to others about writing? The best advice I can give overall is to always chase
your dream. Never give up. Ive always dreamed of writing a novel and my dream came true. Dont ever let anyone tell you that you cant, because you can.. If you set youre mind to it. How would you describe your writing style? Your writing process? continued on page 6

By Theresa Vaia he warm summer afternoon of August 18 was not your average summer Saturday in Randolph, Fire Battlion #4, Ironia. After 4 years of planning, the commemorative ribbon cutting ceremony for the new aerial apparatus began officially with Mayor Michael Guadagno paying tribute to the dedication, skill, and quality of the members of Station 4. It ended in the traditional wetdown with Morris County stations joining to celebrate, all fire departments in Morris County were invited. The celebration was about the purchase and delivery of the Pierce Velocity Aerial Apparatus, possessing a 100ft platform that allows rescue fireman to land on the roofs of buildings. Many times cutting a hole in a roof is a necessary protocol to release the heat and smoke, providing ventilation, though most would think this contra-indicated. Vertical ventilation is most effective, explains Department Chief John McAndrew III. With a 93ft reach horizontally, it facilitates accessing many commercial building rooftop infrastructures and essential mechanical systems. This aerial rises safely above, allowing access in a way no ladder can. Approximately 90 seconds to set up, and workable by one fire fighter, this is much faster and safer, with a basket and platform. Ladder set up is labor and time intensive, the longest reaching 35 feet and requiring many volunteers. Meetings and discussion to provide for the then future needs of the Town began in 2008, with a committee to outline requirements. The Town did the legal inquiries, went to bid, and in April of 2011 the aerial lift was ordered, price tag just over $900,000. This reflects the view of our volunteers in Randolph, Mayor Michael Guadagno emphasizes. There is total respect of our volunteers, and the qualities of the force and the individuals, we are very proud of them. Thank you for volunteering. Cutting the ribbon was volunteer John McAndrew Jr., father to both Department Chief John McAndrew III and Battalion Chief Tom McAndrew. The Township has 14 department vehicles. After the criteria was defined and the aerial was designed, the bids were received from an unprecedented three companies. The Township had committed to the fire fighters, making a handshake deal for the aerial apparatus to be custom built. The four years of invested time, energy, devotion, and spirit were served. Well over 500 man-hours were donated to the task. It was essential that the committee also review state and federal laws, the rules, codes, standards, and recommendations to ensure compliance with firematic and motor vehicle requirements. After identifying five potential bidders, three replied with submittals. Quality, workmanship, ease of operation, safety features, and compliance set the standard. New technology with regard to suspension design and the changing engine emission requirements were worked into the guidelines. The aerial platform will serve Randolph for probably the next 25 year yrs. It makes the job of our volunteer firefighters safer, working from the rig as opposed to climbing on rooftops. In many ways, we are fortunate to have a force of volunteers and this newest addition to our fleet demonstrates a necessary commitment that we, as municipal officials, make to the men and women serving our community. John Lovell, Township Manager. During the planning stage, Chiefs John and Tom McAndrew and other volunteers worked with the Board of Engineers, the Fire Departments long range and capital planning committee, spending 29 months in the process.

By Theresa Vaia s John McAndrew Jr. pressed the gas pedal and drove his Ford Pickup from work to the Ironia Firehouse, he willed traffic to yield so he would arrive at the station in a hurry. It was a sweltering summer day and he was anxious about the Fire Call in the Mt Freedom section of Randolph, once again there was a fire in the resort district of the Township, one more this summer of 1973. They had seen a few there this past year, and those old buildings went up fast. Rushing, he was grateful for the flexibility of his job, allowing him to leave when a call came. Most employers understood and encouraged the volunteers, knowing they served the fire department and the community. Everyone who heard and could respond did, still the same today , John explains, remembering. Calls came through to the Police Dept., the whistle blew, and volunteers entered the danger zone to save lives and property. Thorny issues were on Johns mind as he drove urgently through the traffic, passing vehicles. Complex concerns surrounding fire situations could make you sweat as much as the external heat from the blaze and the smothering heat inside the gear. Where is the closest source of water, how many hoses to reach the pumper from the lake, how long will that take, how far is the drive to the emergency and how far from the water, what route was the fastest and best for the vehicles. With this summertime heat wave, he would lose at least eight pounds from the exertion; the temperature was high, and fire fighters wore the fully waterproof, fire retardant gear with a 15 pound air tank. Few hydrants existed in the early 1970s and firemen used smaller hose, pumping water from the nearby lakes and ponds into the pumper trucks It took a lot of hose, John reflects, and there were no ladder trucks back then. John McAndrew, Jr and his prodigy have been the backbone of Randolph Company 4 Ironia for generations. Back in the early days while living in Wyckoff, he started serving as a firefighter with the Wyckoff Volunteer Fire Department in 1957 and served for 11 years. He moved to Randolph in 1969 with his wife Agnes, who actively serves on the Company 4 Ladies Auxiliary since then. Randolph had 3 companies, with about 100 members. Now there are 4 houses/battalions with 140 all-volunteer members, there are no duty crews. The EMS Rescue had split away in the mid-sixties. All four houses are under Township Ordinance and serve as one department.
arate nonprofit organization under NJ law. They receive a small stipend from the Township for housing the trucks and to help with the expenses to maintain the Firehouse. Each has a set of officers that are elected by the membership. These officers report to the Township Chief who is also elected by the membership and then appointed by the Township officials. The Township Fire Chief and his Deputy are continued on next page
Tell Them You Saw It In The Randolph News, September 2012, Page 13 continued from previous page responsible for managing all four fire companies as one Department. There is a Township Board of Engineers, assisting with long range planning, advisement on purchases, and fire and regulatory policies, and to help the Township plan for equipment needs and procurement. The fire department is 100% volunteer. The Township provides the equipment and gear for the fighters. The McAndrew family grew up in the department. Firehouse brats, John Jr. tells. He can now say the same about his grandchildren. John III and Tom are a staple at Station 4, Tom is Battalion 4 Chief for his second time, and John III is Department Chief of Randolph Fire for the second time. Johns wife, Ruth, and daughter, Jessica, both serve on the Company 4 Ladies Auxiliary; his daughter, Jane, is a member of the Company #4. Tom and his sons Justin and TJ, are part of the battalion, Debbie his wife, serves in Station 3 Ladies Auxiliary. Both young men joined at 16, both are currently in college. Justin is at CCM working on his Business Administration degree and playing lacrosse. His school schedule allows him to answer calls and serve. TJ (Thomas Jr) is at Long Island University on a lacrosse scholarship, after attending CCM, but is ready when home. Citizenship and service is part of the makeup of this entire family tree. Theres a definite warrior component to being a fireman, fire is the enemy and you strive to conquer it, to defeat it. We all understand the risks, we train for those and use our heads. There isnt a fear factor when fire is where it doesnt belong. Tom stresses. Its a battle that must be won. As Department Chief for Station 4, John III has an intense focus on safety. During a house fire, you dont have as much time as you think. Modern building materials are flammable and toxic, you can be overcome in minutes, much quicker than in the past. Houses today are more airtight, there is less ventilation. Everyone needs an escape plan. We do firehouse birthday parties for children, and we teach fire safety. We want to instill the essential need to have a plan in place and a way to escape to safety in a case of emergency or threat. Practice as you play with your family. Respect the blue light that flashes in a vehicle, move to the side immediately so a volunteer can pass, understand the danger. The call may be your family member, your

r. Ira Goldberg, a local dentist, competed in two major triathlons in 2012. The first was on July 8 when he completed the NYC Triathlon, an Olympic Distance event. Dr. Goldberg raised over $1,000 in donations for the American Cancer Society, since this date coincided with his mothers birthday. She had passed away in 1997 from cancer. On August 11, Dr. Goldberg completed the inaugural NY/NJ Ironman. An Ironman consists of a 2.4 mile swim, a 112 mile bike, and concludes with a marathon (26.2 miles). After competing in dozens of triathlons over the past few years and knowing the energy level of the shorter NY Triathlon, there was no way I could pass up the opportunity to participate in this inaugural event in my own back-

Rarely do we have to refer patients.

I believe in this country. I believe in the people of this country. So Im an optimist. Yet here we are in very difficult times. As we look ahead to the presidential election, we need to understand that well be voting for more than just President Obama or Governor Romney. It isnt about just choosing one man over the other. The two national conventions were more than just theatre. In the case of the Republicans, it was sort of theatre of the absurd, especially with Clint Eastwood. But even I wont hold that over their heads. We all have a crazy uncle somewhere, eh? What the two conventions showed us was a difference in basic philosophy. It showed one group with its simple, and disingenuous, slogans, rooted in an alternate universe unre-
lated to reality, and another group, one that is made up of a whole spectrum of different people, from all kinds of backgrounds, coming together and offering a reality check on who we really are, and what we really need. We all, not just Republican Tea Partiers, believe in individual liberty. Most rational people, though, understand that we really are all in this together. Were a country. We have to live and work together, even as we cherish and protect, and rejoice in our constitutional rights and liberties. No man is an island, nor do we want to be. The Republicans put on an ugly show of blame, blame, blame. One after another held forth blaming not only President Obama, but just about every other American who doesnt believe exactly as they do for, well, for everything. They built that. What, did they go and chop down the trees, saw the planks of wood, mine the iron to forge the nails? They did it all, alone? The silliness was running rampant. continued on page 23
By Luigi Luciano K both conventions are over and we now begin the 60 days to the election. Listening to the clips from the Democratic Convention seems to be more of the same. Meaning they are asking us to settle for more of the same. The Vice President says we are better off than we were four years ago, the President says he needs more time. I think they are both delusional. Where do they live? I cant even name one person I know who is better off than they were four years ago. As far as the need for more time, no way. I am really tired of the blame game. This President sounds like he was dragged out of his house and forced to become President. He cries that it was worse than he thought when he took the job and that it is everyone elses fault but his. Granted he did inherit a lot of troubles,
but he was elected because he said he would transform America and get the job done in one term or he would be a one-term president. Well 4 years later the country is actually worse off than it was when he took office. Everything he tried failed. Despite the fact the he had full control of the House, Senate and Presidency his first 2 years. His investments into alternative energy companies (who by the way were major donors to his campaign) all went broke with hundreds of millions of our dollars gone. His incentive for people to buy the GM Volt at the tune of about $15,000 of our money in tax credits failed. No one wants electric cars but he keeps trying to push them down out throats instead of drilling for more oil. Housing is worse, unemployment is the highest it has been for this long of a period, the housing market is still bleak, and the continued on page 23
Tell Them You Saw It In The Randolph News, September 2012, Page 23 continued from page 22 On the economy, well, the Republicans placed complete blame for the current economy squarely on the head of President Obama. After all, they say, hes been in office now for three or so years. He has to stop blaming former President Bush. Its all Obamas fault now. Or is it? Time for some, uh, grown up talk. In January, 2009, the American economy was essentially in free fall. This was no ordinary business cycle recession. This was the kind of financial crash that all of us who warned against the repeal of the Glass-Steagall Act would allow. This kind of crash, by its very nature, takes longer to fix. It takes even longer, unfortunately, when Congress fails to act properly. Republicans in Congress have spent the entirety of President Obamas term desperately trying to thwart every effort to provide the kind of fixes our economy has needed. Hoover would be proud of todays Congressional Republicans. And now that years of Republican intransigence have had their way? Why, its all President Obamas fault. Trillions of dollars of national debt? All Obamas fault. Are you kidding me? Even now, with 16 trillion dollars of national debt, the majority was produced by Republican administrations. But this is just one of so many issues on which listening to todays Tea Party soaked Republican Party is like listening to a bad used car salesman. Mitt Romney and the Tea Partiers have made it clear that they hate Obamacare. But wait, now Romney says he wants to keep various provisions of the dreaded Obamacare. He hates the law but he likes whats in it! Huh? His running mate, Paul Ryan, is so truth challenged he couldnt even tell the truth about his running time in the one and only marathon he ever ran in. I dont know much about running marathons, but the professionals say anything under 3 hours, especially by an amateur, is downright amazing. So dont you think
that if you ran a marathon in under 3 hours, as Ryan claimed he did, youd remember that? Ryans time was actually well over 4 hours. As Texas Governor Rick Perry would put it, Oops. But Ryans lying about his marathon running time is not the big worry. The big worry is how chock full of outright lies (what more polite people would call falsehoods) were in his speech at the Republican National Convention. Im surprised that his pants didnt catch fire right there on stage. And his latest Kafka-speak explanation of why he wont divulge what tax deductions hed eliminate in his much ballyhooed budget plan? Because he wants an open process. Open! No back room deals for Mr. Ryan. But how do you have an open process when hes so secretive about his own plans? Theyre some pair, Romney and Ryan. This is all just a sad, sad state of affairs. Over the years, Mitt Romney has taken every side of every issue. Just from examining his history of statements, from his own words, it is just not possible to figure out what he actually believes or what hed actually do. But what is clear is that today we do see him in full, supine, obedience to the radical fringes of the Republican Party, or what used to be the radical fringes. We saw a large crowd of angry white people at this years Republican National Convention. It wasnt a pretty sight. And if you think that anything theyre offering is in any way beneficial to regular, middle class folks, well, please drop me line. I have a very nice bridge Im sure youll buy. It wont be cheap but youll buy it. Times are tough but things will get better. America is changing. Americans are changing. Dont panic. Dont be scared. Dont succumb to simple sounding slogans, especially ones based in outright lies. Nobody is going to lose here. If we all work together, respect each other, and accommodate each other, if we COMPROMISE, we can all flourish. Yes, we can. Send comments to harlin@harlinparker.org.
60 Days...
continued from page 22 deficit is beyond anything we could have ever imagined. So with that all said who in their right mind could re-elect this guy? Forget Democrat or Republican just from a practical point how can anyone vote for him? There is nothing he has done or plans to do that will get us out of this mess so why not elect someone else? How much worse can they do? It is a very interesting subject to study. How do people vote for a failure? What does this say about those people? Do they like to fail? Do they reward failure? Do they like people who can blame others and not take responsibility? Obama is the President of the United States, if he were a man he would accept that is policies have failed and take responsibility. If he did that I might actually respect him. The election is less than 60 days away. One has to ask themselves has he done what he promised? The answer is no. Did he do his job and create new jobs and stimulate the economy? The answer is no. Did he get the deficit under control? The answer is no. Should he be rewarded with another 4 years? The answer is no.

by Elsie Walker lassic cars were cruising through the parking lot. Friends gathered at hang-outs like the Tiki-bar. In one area, a young woman was hula hooping for charity. Who says the 50s ended decades ago? You couldnt tell it by the poodle skirts, hula hoops, cars, and music that had the Parsippany Hilton jumping on Labor Day Weekend. The feel of the 1950s was back in full swing at the annual Lead East put on by Appleton Productions of Long Valley. It was the 30th year for what has been dubbed the Worlds Biggest 50s party and its host, Terry Cook. What started as a car show with a difference, has grown into a major event that attracts about 1800 cars dating from 1972 and earlier from about 23 states Cars filled the Hilton and adjoining lots. There was an outdoor movie screen put up for the screening of some fine B movies. Songs like Whos Sorry Now filled the hotel and outside thanks to the music, singers and bands on hand. In one corner of a lot, a woman was hula
hooping for Make-A-Wish and other fundraisers for the organization were held inside. Around the lot, you saw not only people who vividly remember the 50s, but those whose parents hadnt even been born in the 50s. Lead East isnt just about reliving the 50, but about remembering a clean, wholesome era At the heart of it is Cook, a former Editor of Car Craft and Hot Rod Magazines. He is also the president of Delahaye USA. Recreating the most beautiful cars in the world is its mission. Appropriately, one of the cars on display was a Delahaye. As people strolled among the cars, one would suddenly see memorabilia reminding them of icons like Mickey and Minnie or Herman and Lily Munster. Occasionally, spectators saw something that looked a little out of place like the Ghostbusters Ambulance. However, though the movie was in the 80s, its vehicle was pure 1950s a 1959 Cadillac ambulance. Lead East the 50s live on.
