The Oct. 31 deadline is nearing for homeowners, renters and business owners to apply for federal aid to be used in recovering from physical damage caused by Hurricane Irene.
Small Business Administration spokesman Burl Kelton said $32,911,600 in aid to New Jersey businesses, homeowners and renters had been approved as of Monday. That sum reflects requests from 3,578 applicants, including 3,261 homeowners and renters and 317 businesses. The SBA has issued 61,820 applications to potential borrowers in the state but heard back so far from fewer than 4,000, Kelton said.
Small companies and most private, nonprofit organizations have until May 31 to apply to the SBA for aid with economic injury — help in meeting financial obligations that can’t be met as a direct result of the disaster that spanned Aug. 27 through Sept. 5. This aid is distinct from funds allotted for physical damage to property.
FEMA largely provides emergency, immediate assistance while the SBA provides long-term, low-interest loans to assist with recovery. But Kelton advised that anyone interested in financial assistance register first with FEMA before Oct. 31. In the event an application for SBA aid is turned down, a requester can be referred back to FEMA for possible help.
To register with FEMA, go to
www.disasterassistance.gov or call FEMA toll-free at 800-621-3362.

Herbal Vinegar Workshop
Capture the essence of summer's herb garden in a trio of herbal vinegars. You will make them in 10 oz. glass bottles with cork tops that can be used again and again. Herbal vinegars are incredibly flavorful and make great gifts for the upcoming holidays. This year, we're using balsamic, red and white vinegars, as well as unusual varieties of thyme, including 'Lime' and 'French Market.' We'll even provide raffia to tie at the bottle's neck and give it that authentic artisanal look. (Register by October 1)

Cooking with Quinces Demonstration
Once considered a food of the gods, quince seems to have fallen out of favor as of late. All of our grandmothers knew how to prepare them and they were once readily available. Now, they are not so easy to find but there are still a few growers left in New Jersey. Let's revive this fantastic fruit by learning how to cook them with Chef and Master Gardener Cynthia Triolo. They are so worth it! This cooking demonstration is sponsored by Whole Foods Market in Madison.
Location: Haggerty Center.

Morristown Craft Market and Fall Plant Sale
"See You At the Show"

This Autumn at the ARTboretum
ARTboretum continues this autumn at The Frelinghuysen Arboretum as the visual arts come out to play for Halloween. Nelson Hancock's exhibit of charmingly evil cucurbits (that's pumpkins of all shapes and sizes) on the slate patio just outside the Haggerty Education Center is both whimsical and fascinatingly scary. Mr. Hancock, who teaches Visual Anthropology and Photography at Pratt Institute in Brooklyn, New York, has deftly carved a plethora of pumpkin and related gourds to keep our thorny and sharp edged succulents and agaves company through Halloween.
Bring your little trick or treater along in costume any day from Sunday, October 23 through Halloween for some great photo opps, inspiration with your own Jack-O- Lantern carving and a Halloween treat at our Front Desk!
Location: Haggerty Center.
