Heroes Honored In Chester To Show Appreciation
By Anastasia Marchese he Chester Township and Borough Recreation director along with the Chester Township Summer Day Camp held a special “Hero’s Day” on Fri., July 29. This event was organized to honor local first responders and veterans while giving the campers the opportunity to show the community’s appreciation. It was also open to the public. The Chester Township Police Department, The Chester Volunteer Fire Department, and the Chester Volunteer First Aid squad were on site with their emergency vehicles. Campers and community members were invited to explore the vehicles and see how they enable these local heroes to do their jobs. According to the town website, “These everyday heroes were honored with songs, poems, thank you notes and a light reception expressing appreciation for keeping Chester safe and protecting our way of life.” The Morris County Sheriff's Department also participated with members of their K-9 Unit & Bomb Squad. This part of the sheriff's department, “is a specialized team of sheriff’s officers who use highly trained dogs to perform services such as search and rescue operations, narcotics and arson detection and fugitive tracking. Working in tandem with the bomb squad, this unit also responds to explosive emergencies for purposes of bomb detection and disposal,” according to the department's website. These specially trained officers put on a demonstration of how the dogs and officers work together, “which educated and entertained campers and visitors alike,” according to Recreation Director Maxine Finney. The Chester Recreation Camp program runs for first through eighth grade. Children participate in a “traditional
camp format where they rotate through a variety of supervised activities throughout the week including games, team building, arts & crafts, sports, music, swimming, entertainment, weekly talent show, camp Olympics and field trips all in one week of fun,” as described on the website. The camp program for this year ran from July 5 through Aug. 12. Some of the other events that were scheduled for campers to participate in this year were a Camp Carnival Day, bowling at Circle Lanes, taking in a Somerset Patriots Baseball Game, a trip to Medieval Times, a cool trip to Frog Falls Water park, and an outing to the Turtle Back Zoo. There was one field trip planned per week of camp. The Hero’s Day event however provided a unique opportunity for the campers not to only enjoy themselves but to give the gift of appreciation to the very special group of men and women who protect and serve their community. During the week preceding the event, the campers worked on artwork to celebrate the service of these local heroes. During the event, the campers presented thank you posters to each department that came. The stage was decorated with an American flag that the campers had made from their hand prints. The participants dressed with a red, white and blue theme to honor the service each local hero is giving not only to the community, but to the nation as well.

After the presentation, the participants were treated to an American flag cake that had been donated by Shoprite of Chester and Registered Dietitian Grace McGuirk.
Annual Morris County 4-H Fair Offers Family Fun In Chester
he annual Morris County 4-H Fair, a showcase and fun celebration of the efforts of 4-H youths from across Morris County, was held Wed., July 20, at Chubb Park in Chester Township, through the weekend. A host of family-friendly activities were planned for the fair, including pony rides, hay rides, petting zoos, animal shows, fireworks, tricky tray, car and motorcycle show, hot air balloon rides, watermelon eating and cake decorating contests, live entertainment, delicious food, and amusement rides. Saturday was filled with special events: hot air balloon rides, car and motorcycle show, goat races in the late afternoon and an evening tricky tray. Most important, the county’s 4-Hers got to display their animals and projects, which are a culmination of the past year’s hard work. “The 4-H Fair is a showcase and celebration of the won-
derful achievements of 4-Hers from around the county,” said Kelly Dziak, Morris County 4-H Program Associate. “It is great opportunity for all in the community to come out for wholesome family fun.” Morris County Freeholder Doug Cabana, who participated in formal opening ceremonies at the fair, said “This is a great family friendly event that is centered around the hard work done by these great 4-H kids, who represent some of the best young people, and who are future leaders of their communities and our county. We should all be extremely proud of the efforts they have made and the work they will show off at the fair.’’ The Exhibit Tent was packed with arts and crafts entries, informational displays and hands-on activities for visitors. The Entertainment Tent and Coffee House featured live musical performances and interactive demonstrations. continued on page 10

before the Olympic Games in Rio de Janeiro. Prieur medaled in Division II with an eighth place finish out of 148 fencers. Her arrival at the podium was the culmination of an entire year of tournaments where the best local fencers fought for a spot in the Dallas Nationals. Prieur, a 15-year-old Long Valley resident, faced a grueling seven-hour day. She placed 60 after the five-point pool rounds but went on to defeat four other fencers in 15-point direct elimination bouts. “I couldn’t believe that I had to face three lefties; every touch was a special effort,” Prieur, a right handed fencer explained about her left-handed opponents. “The best part was to reach the top where I could ask for a video-replay and pick up
touches that the referee wanted to award my opponent,” she continued. Prieur was finally eliminated by the first-place finisher. Prieur attends West Morris Central High School in Long Valley where she will be a junior. She supports Special Olympics, raising

Volunteers Sought To Help Reduce Local Stray Cat Population
By Cheryl Conway fficials in Washington Township are considering whether to start a program in town to help control the feral cat population. They have had discussions and are now pawing at the idea to determine if community support exists in terms of volunteers. Known as Trap, Neuter and Return (TNR), the program has been quite successful in other surrounding towns, especially in Mt. Olive, where a group of volunteers actively run the program and have reduced the number of feral cats drastically since 2009. If anyone is interested in volunteering their time to help trap, transport, feed, foster stray cats or even sponsor fundraisers to support the program like bake sales or tricky trays, contact Donna Daly, coordinator of Senior Citizen Transportation, at 908-8768623. While there are no immediate plans to start a TNR program in town, there is a need to help control the population of nuisance cats within its borders. “It’s desperately needed; we have a lot of farmland out here,” says one cat lover who wishes to remain anonymous. “The program [TNR] works. It’s better than euthanizing.”
Currently, in Long Valley, stray cats are brought to Common Sense For Animals in Stewartsville where they receive medical attention and then are put up for adoption, according to one volunteer. “Farms are everywhere in Long Valley,” barns, horse farms, cow farms, “so the cats are like squirrels,” says the volunteer. “They are just reproducing; they are all over my property. If we just had them neutered then all this nonsense wouldn’t be going on.” Another volunteer says, “There are so many cats in this town. They are working cats which can breed, but a lot are sick. They die; there’s a lot of inbreeding.” One elderly woman spends her time “chasing coyotes away so they stop eating the kittens.” TNR is a non-lethal control method used to trap feral cats, get them spayed, neutered and vaccinated for rabies and distemper by veterinarians, and ear clipped so when they are returned to their environment the colonies can be monitored. The friendly cats and kittens are adopted out. “It’s a win win for everyone.” Controlling the population of cats can be beneficial as it creates healthier, better behaved cats after they are neutered; and re-
duces the number of nuisance cats that can spray, fight and shriek. Town officials started discussions last Oct. 2015 about the idea of TNR but no additional steps had been taken to get an organized program going. Like with any new program, funding and recruiting volunteers is always a challenge. There have been less than a handful of volunteers who have been trying to minimize some cat colonies in town, but without any additional help from local volunteers their ef-
forts may soon be exhausted. One volunteer, who works full time, provides financial support for TNR. “I bring food; I help pay for neutering,” says the volunteer. But since doing it alone is impossible, this volunteer recruited the help of another person who has been active with the TNR program in Mt. Olive. “She came in and helped me; I needed support with traps and encouragement.” The pair have been trying to control the continued on next page

continued from previous page feral cat population during the past six years, involving themselves with TNR, handling five different colonies of cats, with atleast eight cats in each one. They got the friendly cats placed into a home or had them put up for adoption. Continuing to afford costs involved in feeding, paying for supplies, gas to transport the cats, veterinarian fees to neuter and vaccinate and then the time involved for post-operative care and to find foster homes is getting more difficult. “I’m the only person doing this; it’s a lot,” says the volunteer who helps with the Mt. Olive TNR program. “I’m one person, it’s just me [in Long Valley]. “In Mt. Olive, it’s a group of us. Long valley doesn’t have a group; I am the group.” In Mt. Olive, there are a group of volunteers that foster the cats, there are scheduled adoption days, three trappers. “There’s not that many [volunteers]; people come and go.” But there is help, a website, someone who handles the calls. In Long Valley, “I’ve done so many already,” about 100 cats. “I need a group. I need volunteers. There are people out there
who work part time or volunteer.” This volunteer has been helping about two cats a month “in this colony and that colony. I do the best I can. It goes on and on. It’s not my job I have a job. It’s time consuming, sometimes I dread it; I got to do it. “It’s an ongoing thing,” she continues, helping to get hundreds of cats neutered and spayed in Mt. Olive, about 25 in Netcong two years ago, and more recently about 60 in Hackettstown and Great Meadows. “I do a lot of the driving myself; four hour drive in one day,” to take cats to a clinic one hour away in Pennsylvania, which offers a discount; or to Roxbury Animal Hospital which accepts a $50 certificate from St. Hubert’s Animal Welfare Center for rabies and temper shots, neuter and microchip. “I feel as though this is where God is sending me right now. I’m going to give myself five more years then I’m retiring. Hopefully younger people will come on board. They have more energy.” While more volunteers would be a great help, so would be the assistance from some local veterinarians. Involved with three other agencies when continued on next page

Morris County To Hold First Annual Recovery Walk This September
by Ashley Bouwense he Freedom House Foundation and The George Gramby Observance Committee are teaming together to coordinate the first-annual Morris County Recovery Walk set for 9 a.m., Sat., Sept. 10 at Ginty Field in Morristown. “This recovery walk was not only formed to raise awareness for alcohol and drug addictions, but also to celebrate recovery,â€? Director of Freedom House’s Marketing and Development Dawn Knill said. “We want to show that there is hope and life after addition.â€? Knill explained that there is a state-wide annual recovery walk, but people felt that there needed to be something local. So, volunteers and staff from Freedom House—a non-profit, residential treatment center for adult men—and members of the non-profit George Gramby Committee decided to collaborate on this local effort. “We still see people with addiction afraid to say ‘I’m in recovery,’â€? said Knill. “because people still see addiction as a choice, not a disease.

The walk is two-and-a-half miles long and is estimated to take 49 minutes.

Book Club Meets At Library
he Washington Township Public Library has some upcoming book clubs.
The Evening Book Group meets the first Monday of the month at 7 p.m. On Mon., Sept.12, "Poland," by James Michener will be discussed. "In this sweeping novel, Michener chronicles eight tumultuous centuries as three Polish families live out their destinies. The Counts Lubonski, the petty nobles Bukowksi, and the peasants Buk are at some times fiercely united, at others tragically divided. With an inspiring tradition of resistance to brutal invaders, from the barbarians to the Nazis, and a heritage of pride that continued from previous page
burns through eras of romantic passion and courageous solidarity, their common story reaches a breathtaking culmination in the historic showdown between the ruthless Communists and rebellious farmers of the modern age." The Morning Book Group plans to meet the second Tuesday of the month at 10 a.m. On Tues., Sept. 13, "The Nightingale," by Kristin Hanna will be discussed.

Find Your Dance Friend Forever At Theater Dance Center!
E
by Millene Michel – Artistic Director at TDC very memory of childhood is filled with friends who were there to share them. These friends are not always easy to find especially in our busy world. Encouraging friendships can be hard for parents, because kids need to have a bond with one another. Friends are created because the children have something in common, spend lots of time together and enjoy events for the entire family. Dance is a great way to help your child find their DFF! (Dance Friend Forever) I am one of those lucky people. Dance not only helped me find lifelong friends, but it kept me out of trouble, I was never bored and it also helped me come out of my shell. Without dance, I would not be the confident person I am today…. Without dance I wouldn’t have the life I have today. I am the director of Theater Dance Center in Flanders. I am proud to say that I am still in touch with most of my friends from dance. We were in each other’s weddings and still get together regularly. Now in business for 25 years, It is wonderful to share our successes as dancers and friends. Giving your child the gift of dance has so many benefits. It gives them confidence, a great sense of self, teaches teamwork, coordination, compassion as you work with others. One learns how to live a healthy lifestyle, taking care of your body. Sharing memories of your first recital together, trips to competitions or performances at the carnival or for senior citizens. Spending weekly classes together, sharing the challenges in class or the successes in each other’s efforts. We at Theater Dance Center witness the bonding of friends all the time. We cultivate relationships with our students that last much longer than just the years they train. We are now training dancers whose parents were our students. Watching our students grow into young adults who are successful and confident is what makes us love what we do. Dance training is only a small portion of the real impact we have on our student’s lives. TDC is celebrating its 25th year. I, Millene Michel, along with my best friend Mary Ellen Volz have directed and taught our students and shared memories that we will never forget. Our faculty is special, they are trained, experienced and most of all loving and care about their students. We offer Ballet, Pointe, Tap, Jazz, Hip Hop, Lyrical, Contemporary, Acrobatics. We offer classes for all the lovers of dance, whether you wish to dance for fun or want to pursue a career in dance. Some New programs we are offering this year: Tumbling Tigers for ages three to nine, Musical Theater dance for The-
atrical kids, Teen Yoga and Yogi-Barre for adults. We invite you to come see what makes us family. Open House Registration is now in progress… but you can come to our celebration on Aug. 27 from 10 a.m.-1 p.m. we will be offering free sample classes, free gifts and mention this article and get a discount on your registration fee. www.theaterdancecenter.com (973) 584-5020; 230 U.S. Highway 206 in Flanders.

I have people wanting to lose weight; others wanting to compete. “Whatever the individual needs are we will work around it,� says Altinbas. “As long as they are willing to work, we are willing to help them out.� Altinbas got involved in mixed martial arts 42 years ago, when he was eight years old for self-defense and discipline. “My father always wanted me to be involved in

started in karate,” he says when he lived in Turkey. “I was an out-of-hand kind of child,” he explains. “I was aggressive. They wanted to calm me down and teach me discipline.” As part of a “small population of Armenians” growing up in Turkey, Altinbas was a minority and was picked on often. “It was tough growing up like that. I was always in a fight trying to defend myself. When they have something against me, you have to do something.” When Altinbas was 18, he moved to the United States and that was when he started to learn Tae-Kwan-do and Hap-Ki-Do, and also cross trained in kickboxing and Sambo, eventually earning a variety of black belts in different forms of mixed martial arts. He has a six-degree black belt under Grand Master Ian A. Cyrus in Hap-Ki-Do, a Korean Martial Arts Self-Defense form using kicking and punching techniques and joint manipulations; a third-degree black belt in Tae-Kwan-Do with Grand Master
Duke Lee; and a black belt in Hayastan Grappling System under Grand Master Gokor Chivichyan and Grand Master Judo Gene LeBell. “All my life, I’ve been doing this,” says Altinbas. At Victor’s Mixed Martial Arts, three other instructors help teach classes with Altinbas, providing a variety of styles to each workout. He offers classes for children three years old and up such as Tae- KwanDo and Judo. Women can enjoy a ladies only kick-box class or try an adult MMA or self-defense classes called Hap-Ki-Do offered on Friday evenings. To add even more variety, he offers an Irish Stick Fighting class every other Sunday and will soon be adding yoga classes. Hours are Mon.-Fri., 4 p.m. to 10 p.m.; Sat. 9 a.m. to noon; as well as morning classes on Tues. and Thurs. For more information and the schedule, go to victorsmma.com or call 973-2346454.

Prescribe Drugs Or Worse Yet, Surgery!
he physician learns that disease must be cured by prescribing drugs or by surgery. Although there is nothing inherently wrong with this approach. It often works. But why does Chinese Medicine succeed where conventional Western medicine sometimes fails? What is it about Acupuncture and Chinese Herbal Medicine that can result in relief of symptoms, helping couples conceive when they were told there is no hope, or even a cure that is often lacking in conventional Western Medicine? Although the ultimate result of Chinese Medicine is to cure the patient, the practitioner of Chinese medicine attempts to do this by treating the whole person, taking into account the various attributes of an individual that, when combined, account for an individual’s health status. A person, according to the tenets of Chinese Medicine, is more than their condition. To treat just the condition may yield some results, but, however impressive, these results are usually temporary. People are not, according to Chinese Medicine, represented solely by their illness, but by the culmination of every human interaction engaged in from the moment of their birth and by the culture they are exposed to. The emotional experiences, eating habits, work habits, work and living environment, personal habits, and social network all contribute to their disease, and are factors that, when changed, may lead to regained health.
A
and are made to feel that their pain is all in their head. The key to cure is to not view curing the disease itself without regard to side effects from the treatment, but rather to treat the root of the disease, the anxiety and depression that causes the insomnia, which facilitates exhaustion, which lowers the immune function, which leads to chronic illnesses. As far as fertility is concerned, one and six couples today are unable to conceive and with all the technology available, many couples are still childless. Many of these women are pumped full of hormones and even steroids, baby aspirin and birth control pills, yes, you read right. You might be asking yourself if one is trying to have a baby, then why put them on birth control pills. Yet, Chinese medicine helps many of these couples conceive without the use of these harmful drugs. So what would you choose drugs, surgery or Acupuncture and Chinese Medicine? I have been practicing Acupuncture and Chinese for over 27 years, with a strong intention to help our patients get well and to empower them to take care of and maintain their own health. As always, Skyland’s Acupuncture & Wellness Center’s doors are always open to drop by and see our facility. If you have any questions on this article or on acupuncture in general please do not hesitate to contact our office at 908876-2643.
‘Healthy’ Foods That May Cause Weight Gain
desire to lose weight compels many people to pursue healthy lifestyles. Foods dubbed as “healthy” foods may not help people lose as much weight as they hope. Consumers should realize that, while there are many healthy options available, even foods billed as healthy can cause weight gain if overdone. • Cereals: Many cereals contain whole grains and a bevy of nutritious ingredients, but many are also high in sugar
Deborah Waddell, Dipl. Ac., C.A.
The power and effectiveness of Chinese Medicine is evidenced by its very long history of over 3,000 years of continued practice and success. Did you know that more than ¼ of the world’s population uses some form of alternative medicine as their health care treatment? Chinese medicine however, is the only form of alternative medicine that has been regularly and continuously used outside of its country of origin. The experienced Chinese medical practitioner is trained to observe one’s tone of voice, complexion, eyes, facial expression, overall demeanor, and how one walks, sits and stands, and to use these observations along with a detailed health history to arrive at a diagnosis. Before the patient says one word, the practitioner already has some idea of who this person is, clinically, simply by observing them. A great practitioner is one who can process a mix of medical knowledge with a personal sensitivity based on experience. The practitioner of Chinese medicine specializes not just in inserting needles or prescribing herbal remedies, but in being able to see “hidden” or subtle conditions that may not been seen or understood by Western trained Doctors. The ability to see these subtle conditions takes years of training and is done without the benefit of modern technology. How many of you reading this had or do have pain, or are unable to conceive but all your test results are negative? Many of these types of patient’s are given anti-depressants
and other refined grains that aren’t nutritionally sound. Always read food labels to review ingredients before purchasing new foods. Don’t go by what the front of the package says or any “healthy” buzzwords used. The nutritional information will be telling, listing the amount of sugar, calories and refined carbohydrates, which can derail healthy eating. • Juices: Juice seems like a healthy choice, but whole

fruits are the better option. Juices may not retain the peels of the fruits, which tend to contain the fiber and the bulk of the nutritional content. Juice may also be loaded in calories, whereas whole fruit tends to be low in calories. • Granola: Granola is full of healthy ingredients, but it also may contain other ingredients that can be high in fat, like oils or nuts. Granola is best when eaten in moderation. • Good fats: Certain superfoods contain a lot of nutritional benefits, but may be high in fats as well. For example, avocados contain fiber, vitamin C, vitamin E, and potassium, among other antioxidants, and can be quite filling. However, they also are calorically dense, so keep an eye on serving sizes. • Wine: The health benefits of red wine have been widely touted. People who consume wine may be at a reduced risk for heart disease, Alzheimer’s disease and certain cancers. Red wine also may help keep weight gain in check. But it’s important to avoid overconsumption of red wine. A five-ounce serving is roughly 130 calories, and too many glasses of wine can impair your judgment. • Yogurt: Check the labels on your favorite yogurts. Yogurt is a great source of protein, but that may be offset by sugar or chemical additives. Plain Greek yogurt is a smart choice, and you can supplement yogurt with fresh fruits.

Learn how to create a bento box that will make your child the envy of the lunch table with these tips: • Choose a container with ample space for a variety of foods. Some containers feature detachable units, which can be handy for changing up your configuration. • When it comes to filling your box, the more creative your approach, the better. Mix and match colors and textures for a well-rounded, fun and flavorful meal. Because they require no chopping, peeling or coring, fresh grapes are an easy add-in to bento box lunches. Healthy, great tasting and refreshing, they pair well with a wide range
of box-friendly items, such as sandwiches, crackers and cheese, nuts and yogurt. • Get kids involved by turning lunch assembly into age-appropriate education. Little ones can practice their colors, while older kids can put math skills to use by counting, adding and subtracting. • Invest in a few simple tools to boost the fun factor. Cookie cutters transform boring sandwiches into exciting nibble-worthy shapes. Silicone baking cups are ideal for smaller items if you’re using a container without dividers (and they add a colorful touch to the divider styles, too). After school, put a fresh twist on favorites, such as pizza, with ingredients that pair well and can be easily assembled. This Chocolate Pizza features a hazelnut spread and red California grapes, which add a burst of juicy flavor and freshness.

Lead East Brings Back The 1950s For Labor Day Weekend
by Elsie Walker verything can get better, even the world’s biggest 50’s party. For 34 years, Lead East has been bringing the sights and sounds of the ‘50s back for one magical weekend, Labor Day weekend. Held at the Parsippany Hilton this year from Sept. 1t – 4, host Terry Cook of Appleton Productions in Long Valley, shares that there will be some new features this year in response to a survey that was taken. However, the heart of Lead East remains the same: a time to get away to a happier era and enjoy the sounds of Doo Wop and see 1400 vintage cars (1972 and older) that come from all over the country for this event. Admission prices and daily schedule of events can be found on the Lead East website at https://www.leadeast.net. “Lead East is a chance to escape the terrorism, bullying, and irresponsible behavior of people who behave terribly on the internet for all to see, yet don't have the courage to sign their real names. It is a refuge,” said Cook. Among the mainstays of Lead East are the Doo Wop groups, cars, sock hops, proms,
‘50s collectibles on sale, DJ The Golden Gup, Rockabilly band, Razorbacks (featuring Kenny Duda), plenty of live ‘50s music, and an outdoor movie area with classic and B movies This year the features include “Some Like It Hot” (1959) with Jack Lemmon, Tony Curtis, and Marilyn Monroe;” “I Was A teenage Werewolf” (1957) with Michael Landon and Yvonne Lime; and “Rock Rock Rock” (1956) a classic with Frankie Lymon & the teenagers, The Moonglows, Chuck Berry, The Flamingoes, Tuesday Weld (with Connie Francis’ voice dubbed in) and Alan Freed. What’s new this year? “There’s the return of the Prom Queen Parade where they ride around the event in convertibles enroute to the prom, unloading at front door of Hilton,” said Cook. “Also, a new outdoor venue has been added, The Gazebo, with chairs where spectators can sit in the shade and watch three groups perform Saturday and one Sunday afternoon. [This means]on Saturday and Sunday, there will be four stages with live music for people to watch who pay the general admission ticket of $20 (reduced this year); outdoor stage,
gazebo, lobby atrium inside and ballroom for acappella shows.” Among the other new features are celebrity guest Larry Erickson, chief designer of the 2005 Mustang Design Team at Ford and designer of ZZ Top’s Cadzilla, Cracklefest, Muffler Wrapping, Elvis/Johnny
Cash/Buddy Holly/Roy Orbison impersonator contest with cash prize, cash prizes for best 50s dressed, and more. Cook added, “The big news is free shuttle busses from four spectator parking lots (shuttle stops) to give spectators a ride to the main continued on next page

continued from previous page ticket booth and then back at end of day to the shuttle stops (Friday, Saturday, and Sunday) thanks to the generosity of the Hilton/Hampton Inn.” While Lead East is about kicking back and enjoying, it also remembers something else about the 1950s. “Giving back ties in with 50's atmosphere because it was a more gentle, friendly era,” said Cook. There are two Lead East giving traditions during the event: a 50/50 for Make-A-Wish and a Toys for Tots drop-off. The Make-AWish foundation 50/50 and children’s activities (face painting, etc.) will be in the Main Hall near the Hotel Ballroom, inside the revolving doors. Last year’s 50-50 total amounted to a record $46,215. Make-A-Wish has raised more than $210,000 in the 13 years it has been doing 50/50s at Lead East. Also, helping to make children happy will be Toys for Tots. A drop off for unwrapped toys or monetary donations will be located in the area outside the front door of the hotel for the Military Trans-
port Association Toys for Tots collection for the U.S. Marine Reserve unit at Picatinny Arsenal. The toys will be distributed to needy North Jersey children at the holiday season. Reflecting on this year’s upcoming Lead East, Cook noted that he sees the event as a refuge. “With all the bad economy, senseless terrorist, and junk you see on TV and in movies, Lead East is an escape to a little island of refuge in North Jersey where you can drift back to a better Time,” Cook said. “One magic weekend a year we turn back the clock, and the calendar, to celebrate the best decade in American history: the blissful, colorful 50’s. Divorce was rare (it could end a politician’s career). AIDS and drugs were nonexistent. Kids had toy guns, not real ones. “You could worship God in school,” he continued. “Our society was better then…and so now one weekend a year we gather to escape the terrible music, dull lookalike automobiles, Johnny can’t read or dance, politically correct, "selfie," bad economy, terrorist millennium we’re in today.”

Middle Valley Community Center Honored With Third Historic Preservation Award
iddle Valley Community Center, was built circa 1792. For centuries it has been a principal focus for the community, initially serving as the first mercantile center of Middle Valley, a post office, and even a school. For those who may not be familiar with MVCC, it is the sunny yellow, with dark green and white trim building at the intersection of 513/West Mill Road and Middle Valley Road. Since 1975, the trustees and MVCC members have continued to work actively and tirelessly to maintain the character and to preserve this historic building in the Middle Valley Historic District. In 1990 they even succeeded in placing it on the NJ Register of Historic Places. Since 1990, the Washington Township Historic Preservation Commission has been giving six historic preservation awards during May for various preservation associated reasons. This historic building in the center of Middle Valley (MVCC), is thrilled to have been the recipient of the Historic Preservation Award, three times.
The first award was 1994 for extensive restoration work on the tower roof and foundation. The second award was in 2008 for stabilizing and repairing the 1904 tower, rear wall, porch, floor joints and basement walls. This year’s award was for an important architectural feature, which was the rebuilding of the chimney. The mission of the Middle Valley Community Center (MVCC) is to preserve and enhance the Middle Valley Historic District, to provide educational and social activities for the public, and to maintain this gathering place for the community. It is a non-profit organization that relies on membership dues, usage charges of the building, fund raisers and contributions to continue keeping the Community Center looking good and functioning correctly. Right now the challenge is raising monies for its "Furnace and Roof Repair Fund.” All monies are tax deductible. This space is available for use for both members and non-members. It is a great space for drama clubs, meetings, music lessons, yoga instruction, Zumba instruction,

How To Use Your Smartphone To Save Time And Money This Back-to-School Season
B
PHOTO SOURCE: Janise Burrafato, Mama in Heels
ack-to-school season means more errands, more chores and more scheduled activities. It also means a dent in your wallet. But you can recapture some of your free time and save some money along the way by turning your smartphone or tablet into command central. Here are some smart smartphone strategies for families as they head back to school. • Say cheese: Be sure to capture all those toothy grins on camera! It doesn’t take much effort to go beyond posting your first day of school favorites to social media. You can order prints, photo cards, canvas prints and other personalized items from your phone, Facebook, or Instagram using the Walgreens mobile app, even turning your photos into personalized school supplies to send your kids to class in style. Prints will be ready within an hour and many other personalized photo products can be picked up the same day. • Be in touch: Have all the most important numbers you may need on speed dial: your children’s schools, doctors, babysitters, coaches and other caregivers. • Save time scoring deals: Back-toschool supplies like pencils, pens, notebooks and more can add up, especially if you have multiple kids heading to the classroom. Consult your current store of supplies and create a needed shopping list.
Then, scour deals with ease by virtually “clipping” coupons from your mobile device through tools like the Walgreens mobile app. “With a few clicks of the thumb I was able to order most of the items on my school supplies list within minutes during my lunch break,” says lifestyle blogger Janise Burrafato of “Mama in Heels.” The database has hundreds of offers in searchable categories helping you save time and money during a busy, expensive time of year. What’s more, the app lets you use your mobile device as a point-of-sale device with Apple Pay and Android Pay, allowing you to skip long back-to-school lines and get on with your day. • Get help: Doing it all on your own can be tough, but that’s what families are for. However, this year you can skip the traditional chore wheel. These days, apps can help you incentivize the completion of household duties and assign different tasks on an age-appropriate basis. For more great tips that will have you prepping like a pro this back-to-school season, follow along with “Mama in Heels,” “Katie’s Bliss,” and other lifestyle bloggers using the #MyWalgreensApp hashtag. With the right apps and strategies, everything you need to plan, prep, and navigate the back-to-school season can be found on your mobile device. (StatePoint)
