Whether you're thankful for electricity or simply stuffing and gravy, we want to hear about it.
The following is an Editor's Notebook and represents the opinions of Ariana Cohn-Sheehan. This year, more than others, I have a lot to be thankful for. Over the past few weeks, with a super, tropical cyclone storm and the presidential and local elections, I'm regretful to have not taken the time to stop and think about what I appreciate most this year. But since that is the reason for the season, I figured I'd share at least a few items on my list with you. Here goes: I'm thankful for power after being without it for two weeks. I am the first to say I did not have it as bad as others, with a warm (and lit) place to sleep every night for the 11 days I was without electricity in my home. But it was an inconvenience so I'm happy to be back …

New Jersey Colonials travel hockey team coaches, New Jersey Devils alum to play benefit game at Mennen Arena at 7 p.m.
Mennen Arena, in Morris Township, hosts ice skating Friday nights. At least, it did, before Sandy hit. Then, it was the county's designated storm shelter. While it again will not be a place to lace up your skates and take to the ice this Friday, folks will get the opportunity to see others do just that—and help others in the process. A benefit for the victims of Hurricane Sandy, called "War to Restore New Jersey," is set for 7 p.m. Friday at the arena. The coaches of the New Jersey Colonials traveling youth ice hockey team will face off against the alumni team of the New Jersey Devils. "Call it the 'War to Restore NJ,' 'War to ReShore NJ,' or 'Ice Cool Duel,' but the New Jersey Colonials travel hockey club’s coaches will be taking on the …
Local food pantries struggling to keep up with the demand this holiday season.
For food pantries across Northern New Jersey, Hurricane Sandy dealt a double blow: It increased the number of families in need of assistance and shortened the span between Halloween (which Gov. Chris Christie moved to Nov. 5) and Thankgsiving, which comes early this year. Prior to the storm, the Community Food Bank of New Jersey reported more than 960,000 residents of Northern New Jersey are food insecure, meaning at times they lack access to enough food to maintain an active, healthy life. The Community Food Bank is hosting its annual Thanksgiving Food Drive this Saturday, Nov. 17 from 9am to 2pm at the following locations: Morris County Passaic County Sommerset County

Mayor asks residents to share generators, hot meals as town continues to recover.
Montville Mayor Tim Braden is hoping residents can turn the negative of being without power for nearly two weeks into a positive. "As we enter the 12th day of Hurricane Sandy's aftermath, I am calling for a day of 'Random Acts of Kindness,'" Braden said. Acts he suggested included residents with generators running an extension cord to a neighbor's house, checking on elderly couples who live in the area, bringing hot meals to those who are unable to cook and dropping off food to those who do not have any to the Montville Food Pantry. "They will feel better and so will you. You can make a difference!" Braden said. Braden said the power company is continuing to work in the township, but that while residents wait, they can help others. "As JCP…
