August 24, 2011 THE VILLADOM TIMES II • Page 17 Glen Rock Roundup Arboretum workshops rescheduled Stormy weather has led to the rescheduling of the August workshops at Glen Rock’s Thielke Arboretum. Updated information follows. “Grow Your Own Salad in a Bowl” will be offered on Wednesday, Aug. 24 at 10 a.m. Learn how plant roots work their way down into the soil and other mysteries and magic of veggie plants. Attendees will take home a salad in a container: a mix of salad vegetable seeds to grow on their own. “The Worms Crawl In, the Worms Crawl Out,” set for Thursday, Aug. 25, will cover the secret underworld of soil, bugs, decay, and sweet smelling compost. On Friday, Aug. 26, the arboretum will offer “Bringing the Bright Colors of Summer Home.” Those who attend this workshop will catch the final burst of summer color at the arboretum before the autumn and will tie-dye a piece of muslin using natural dyes from plants. There is a small fee for this workshop to cover the cost of supplies. Participants should wear an old shirt as a smock during the tie-dying. These classes, led by Master Gardener Monica Moscovici, are open to children and adults. Moscovici, a Fair Lawn resident, is a teacher with commercial gardening experience. The workshops were developed for Thielke Arboretum by professional educators. Registration is open to TWIGS (first, second, and third graders). Care-givers are invited to join these exploration adventure classes. All workshops will begin at 10 a.m. and last approximately 90 minutes. Register for the workshops by phone at (201) 447-0452 or by e-mail at info@glenrockarboretum.org.

Stephen was known as a gifted evangelist, preaching the teachings of Jesus to the people of Jerusalem, including members of the Hellenistic synagogues. Acts of the Apostles describes how Stephen was tried by the Sanhedrin for blasphemy against Moses and God and for speaking against the temple and the law. He was stoned to death by a mob encouraged by Saul of Tarsus, who later became Saint Paul. Saint Stephen is traditionally depicted with a crown of martyrdom, three stones, and the martyrs’ palm. The website notes that, in Eastern Christian iconography, he is shown as a young beardless man with a tonsure, wearing a deacon’s vestments, and often holding a miniature church building and a censer.
