Byers, New Jersey Conservation Foundation Observing one day of thanks Be thankful for what you’ve got. The words may be trite but the sentiments behind them are timeless. Today, as we gather around tables laden with turkey and all the trimmings we surely will feel an inner glow at the warmth of such bountifulness. Then we’ll pay for it later if we don’t watch out. Somewhere between passing the meat platter around and piling on the stuffing it should occur to us that fortune smiles on one who can commemorate Thanksgiving this way, with family and friends and plenty of food and drink. It doesn’t hurt to say the words aloud. Just say “Thanks,” acknowledging the gods or the fates or whomever. Many of us don’t pause often enough to think about this. We lurch from day to day, traveling at a faster pace than nature had intended, packing in more and more in a single day than our constitutions will allow. We get cranky. We get testy. And we forget how fortunate we are to have the simple pleasures we possess. We become uncivil. We become rude. We take advantage of our fellow man and gloat about it afterwards. We’re all in a rush to get somewhere that does not merit the amount of dis- tress it may cause others. Today is a day to pause and think about our lives and the people in it. Think about thankfulness today and giving. We’re remind- ed every day about the needs of others. Think today about doing something about it. Every month, for instance, the local chapter of the Ameri- can Red Cross holds its Community Blood Drive. Recognize the need for donors and attend the next drive, which is sched- uled for Saturday, Dec. 9, from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m., at the Mill- burn Free Public Library. /HWWHUV WR WKH (GLWRU The need for blood is critical as there is a shortage in area blood banks.

FOOTBALL Miller back seeking milestone By Jim Connelly of The Item

James Freeman insists he is going to treat the traditional Thanksgiving Day football game between high school rivals Mill- burn and Madison as just another game. In Freeman’s case, however, this is just not any ordinary game. The 6-1, 215-pound senior has the opportunity to experience every running back’s dream in today’s 11 a.m. encounter against the Dodgers in Madison. Freeman enters today’s season finale needing to gain 126 yards on the ground to reach the coveted 1,000-yard plateau. “I’m going to play it just like any other game,” Freeman said. “Go out and try and win. It is important for us to be a 5-5 team. We need the win to keep the program head- ing in the right direction.” The senior tri-captain has four 100-yard rushing games to his credit this fall, including a 152-yard effort in the Millers’ most recent outing, a 47-14 loss to Irvington on Nov. 11 in the quarterfinals of the New Jersey State Interscholastic Athletic Association North Jersey, Section 2, Group 3 playoffs. Freeman also surpassed the cen- tury mark against Orange (27 car- PHOTO COURTESY OF MILLBURN BOYS CROSS COUNTRY TEAM ries for 150 yards) in the Sept. 15 Millburn harrier Peter Murphy charges through Homdel Park opener, against Passaic County during Saturday’s state Meet of Champions race.
