Rebuilding Together Bergen County (RTBC) www.rebuildingtogetherbergen.org

The mission of RTBC is to bring volunteers and communities together to improve the homes and lives of low-income homeowners, particularly the elderly, disabled, families with children, and military veterans, so that they may continue to live in warmth, safety, and independence. The average yearly income of those helped is $26,000. In the past 11 years, RTBC has completed 191 projects in 44 Bergen County towns. On this year’s Rebuilding Day, with the help of donors and volunteers such as the Allendale Woman’s Club, RTBC completed the renovation and rehabilitation of 11 homes in Bergen County. RTBC also assists families year-round with emergency roof repair, help with basement flooding, electrical work, and plumbing.

On May 20, we lost a devoted member and dear friend. Linda Fleischauer was a very special member of the Allendale Woman’s Club. She loved being part of this organization, always eager to support our cause. She was the kind of person who put her friends’ needs above her own, even while fighting a valiant battle with ovarian cancer. We loved her energy, her endearing personality, and her wonderful smile. Above all, we loved Linda. She will forever be missed.

A needs-based scholarship has been set up in her name, and each year $1,000 will be awarded to a high school senior and Allendale resident. We welcome donations to this fund. Checks may be made out to Allendale Woman’s Club, adding Linda Fleischauer Scholarship Fund in the memo line, and mailed to: Allendale Woman’s Club, PO Box 284, Allendale, NJ 07401.

Next Meeting: Wednesday, Sept. 8, 7:30 pm at Boro Hall

Autism, this year’s Hot Topic was chosen by Northern Highlands Outstanding Book Challenge readers. A culminating community book event is planned for Tuesday, September 28 at 7 pm at Northern Highlands Regional High School.

The 2 Books are:

FICTION: The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time by Mark Haddon

Narrated by a fifteen-year-old autistic savant obsessed with Sherlock Holmes, this dazzling novel weaves together an old-fashioned mystery, a contemporary coming-of-age story, and a fascinating excursion into a mind incapable of processing emotions.

NON–FICTION: Animals in Translation by Temple Grandin

Besides being autistic, Temple Grandin earned her Ph.D. in animal science from the University of Illinois; went on to become an associate professor at Colorado State University; and wrote two books on autism, including the seminal Thinking in Pictures. When Dustin Hoffman went to research his role in Rain Man, Temple was the person he contacted. One of the most celebrated and effective animal advocates on the planet, Grandin revolutionized animal movement systems and spearheaded reform of the quality of life and humaneness of death for the cows, pigs, and chickens that Americans eat. Through Grandin Livestock Systems, she works with the country’s fast food purveyors-McDonald’s, Kentucky Fried Chicken, Wendys, and Burger King to monitor the conditions of animal facilities worldwide. Animals in Translation is like no other animal book because of Temple Grandin. As an animal scientist and a person with autism, her professional training and personal history have created a perspective like no other thinker in the field, and this is her exciting, groundbreaking view of the intersection of autism and animal.
