Friends Of Pitney Farm Present Plan For Renovation

By Catherine Bialkowski he history of the township of Mendham centers largely around a historical site within its borders called Pitney Farm. This property, built in 1720- 29 years before the town itself was founded- has been around during civil war, two world wars, America’s Great Depression, and many other culturally significant events in United States’ history. In short, it is a crucial piece of Mendham’s past, and the Friends of Pitney Farm, a nonprofit 501(c) (3) organization dedicated to the historic preservation

of Pitney Farm, has been working tirelessly since 2013 in its best interest. In its younger days, Pitney Farm, a place listed on the Morris County Heritage Commission Historic Site Survey, was a “huge, rolling estate,” as Peter Dumovic, a Trustee of FOPF, put it. Originally owned by brothers Jonathan and James Pitney, subsequently passed down through the family line, and eventually sold to the township of Mendham in 2009, the farm has a rich history. “It’s not 200 acres anymore,” Dumovic said. “Now, it’s 12.”

Of those 12, seven have been designated as open space. It has not quite been determined yet what will be done with the remaining five. In Feb. 2016, a fire destroyed part of the homestead, further delaying any plans to put the property to creative use. Investigators determined that the fire was started as an act of arson, and the town received $1.5 million. On May 10, FOPF presented a new plan for educational community use of the property, now referred to as The Pitney Farm Park and Homestead. At a town hall meeting, FOPF introduced a “win-win” solution as to how the farmstead might be used in the coming years. According to Dumovic, FOPF are prepared to “protect and promote” the seven acres of open space for community use as a public park. Visitors can sit outdoors, he said, in the rehabilitated gardens. “It’s a very tranquil place,” he said. “You can

sit there and imagine what it was like 100 or 200 years ago.” FOPF hopes to restore the homestead in order that some rooms may be used as a space for clubs and organizations to meet. Additionally, “we want to designate one of the rooms as a small museum to display memorabilia and historic artifacts,” said Dumovic. According to the farm’s website, www.pitneyfarm.org, some of the surviving portions of the home were built as early as 1722.

“I am personally excited about preserving and re-purposing a portion of the historically important Pitney Farm for the benefit of the community and future citizens in perpetuity,” Dumovic said. Initially, FOPF considered suggesting the construction of a library, arts center, or police department on the property, for Mendham residents’ usage. This plan, however, landed in disagreement. “The neighbors felt this plan would be out of character with the surrounding

neighborhood,” Dumovic said. They felt it might be too invasive, or might make the area too bustling. “So we backed off from that plan.” The plan to create a park and to designate renovated rooms in the home as community spaces seems to have garnered an overall positive response from residents. FOPF plans to begin fundraising for its efforts, but, as of now, has not yet reached its goal of $600,000.

Rebuilding Ralston Playground, Brick By Brick

he West Morris Junior Women’s Club, along with the Mendham Township Recreation Department, is looking for support in its effort to rebuild Ralston Playground with sustain-

able and permanent equipment that will last well into the future. The original vision for this playground as a historical representative of the Ralston area will be kept intact.

Their campaign goal is to raise $200,000 by collecting donations and selling engraved bricks. Standard sized bricks are 4-inches-by-8-inches in size and are priced at $200. Larger bricks are available

for $350. To purchase a brick, visit: https://www.bricksrus. com/order/wmjwc/. To donate, visit: https:// www.wmjwc.org/rebuildralstonplayground.

The Party Goes On At Lead East

By Elsie Walker t’s rare that someone can say they’ve hosted a party that’s been going on for 35 years. However, Terry Cook of Appleton Productions in Long Valley can say just that. A former automotive journalist and hot rodder, who began manufacturing his own car designs in the late 1990s, Cook’s event started as a car show; but it has transformed into a celebration of the 1950’s. It’s called Lead East and it is known as the world’s biggest ‘50s party. For a few days each year, people can leave the woes of the current days behind them and visit a more carefree time. From classic cars- not only from the ‘50s- to the sounds, sights, and dance of the 50’s, Lead East has it all. Also, this

year, joining in on the time travel fun is Barry Weiss of TV’s “Storage Wars.” Lead East is held at the Parsippany Hilton. This year’s event will opened to spectators Thursday – Sunday, Aug. 31 – Sept. 3. About 1,400 classic car, 1974 and earlier, from around the country are expected at this year’s event. However, on Sunday, “will be one big parking lot full of corvettes,” noted Cook. Usually only cars up to the 1970’s would be allowed that day, but this year corvettes of any year, 19532017, will be welcomed. For car enthusiasts, “Big Daddy” Don Garlits will be on hand. He’ll cackle his Swamp Rat 12. Cook explained that means Garlits will rev up the engine and, since there’s no muffler,

car enthusiasts will get the smell and sound they enjoy. Cook will be quick to point out that Lead East is about more than cars and that is what has made it endure. “[It’s the] atmosphere of the 1950’s; the atmosphere is everywhere,” he said. That atmosphere includes music, movies and dances of the era. Some highlights include a pool party with two rockabilly bands plus music on the outdoor and indoor stages on Friday night of the event. On the weekend, there are four stages with live music. On Saturday, that includes Afternoon A Capella with eight great Doo Wap groups. On Sunday, there will be tribute bands to Dion and Frankie Valli and the 4 Seasons.

“They are really good,” noted Cook. The opportunities to dance abound including a sock hop and dance party. As it has for 34 of its years, Lead East will include a drive-in theater set-up. Among this year’s offerings are “The Thing from Another World,” a 1951 monster flick with James Arness of “Gunsmoke fame” as the monster, “Them,” a 1954 science fiction bug classic, and a more recent movie (1971), the Steven Spielberg classic, “Duel” with Dennis Weaver. Giving is also part of Lead East. There will be a 50-50 for Make-A-Wish and, as they have for years, the local Toys for Tots will be on hand to collect toys to give needy children at Christmas.

Given the event’s theme, some people may wonder what special guest Barry Weiss has to do with the ‘50s, how he came to be part of this year’s party. “I’ve known Barry for years,” said Cook. Weiss bought the most famous car that Cook ever built: the Scrape 1930 Lincoln Zephyr. “People recognize Barry all the time. He’ll be float-

ing around Lead East Friday and Saturday and sitting down inside for autographs on Sunday from noon – 3 p.m., where people can stand on line to meet him,” said Cook. For Lead East admission cost, daily schedule, and other information, visit its website at leadeast.net or the Lead East Facebook page.

Rolling Thunder Provides Awareness And Helps Veterans In Need

By R.E. Wagner end them home! We will not forget!” This is just a handful of statements rising above the steady rumble of passing motorcycles during the demonstrations, community events and charity drives organized across the country by the non-profit organization known as Rolling Thunder. In 1987, former United States Marine Corps Corporal Ray Manzo, U.S. Army Sergeant Major John Holland, Marine First Sergeant Walt Sides, and Sergeant Ted Sampley had lunch together at a diner in Somerville. They were meeting to discuss an unsettling issue that they, as servicemen, felt wasn’t being acknowledged enough in certain military circles. By the end of the meeting, they parted ways with a mission in mind: to bring full accountability for the ‘Prisoners Of War’ and ‘Missing In Action (MIA)’ of all U.S. wars. For Diane Malanga, the secretary of Rolling Thunder’s 3rd Chapter in

“

New Jersey and an official member for almost a decade, Rolling Thunder’s goal hit close to a place close to her heart. “They were deeply troubled knowing these men and women were forgotten,” explained Malanga, “thinking of their families who have not had a chance to have closure. My father served in World War II and Korea and my son just left for boot camp.” Since World War II, more than 83,000 MIA cases have remained unresolved within military files. An MIA is a casualty classification assigned to combatants and prisoners of war (POW) who are reported missing during wartime. They may have been killed, wounded or captured. If deceased, neither their remains nor grave site have been positively identified. For these four veterans, 83,000 unaccounted soldiers left overseas on distant battlefields was an outrage. “They said we have to take a stand and do something to raise awareness,” Malanga continued.

ATTENTION BUSINESS OWNERS

On May 29, 1988, Corporal Manzo recruited 2,500 men and women from all over the nation to attend Rolling Thunder’s first public event held in Washington D.C. There, they assembled peacefully in the parking lot of the Pentagon and rode through the Capital on a predetermined route that led them to the Lincoln Memorial. Since then, Rolling Thunder has grown into an established national organization. During their most recent rally in 2017, almost a million people attended to show their patriotism. And with approximately 10,000 active members spread out across the country among 94 chapters in 33 states, Rolling Thunder has no plans on slowing down. The non-profit’s rosters are filled not only with veterans and active duty military personal, but their families, friends and those who seek to honor the soldiers who never made it home. In New Jersey alone, there are four Rolling Thunder chapters consisting of hundreds of members. The Garden State

is also home to Rolling Thunder’s National Headquarters located in Lebanon. “I joined the chapter three in 2008,” Malanga said, before sharing her fond memory of her first event with Rolling Thunder at the Community Living Center in Lyons. “There were snacks and karaoke, the veterans just loved it. The music, the visit, was so awesome for them.” Malanga rem-

inisced, “One of the most rewarding parts of being a member is making the difference for a veteran. I was hooked from that moment.” In addition to raising awareness of their mission statement to bring home missing soldiers, Rolling Thunder Chapters across the nation provide financial support to help veterans in need. “At times our aging veterans struggle to pay

bills,” Malanga explained. “We help with money to pay for heating and have also helped many Veterans with rent or mortgage payments. Last year, Chapter Three raised approx. $24,000 through various events, rides, personal donations and fundraising.” Through charitable donations, as well as organizing community events for service men and women, Rolling Thunder Chapters continued on page 5

he unveiling of the first trail blazes on the new September 11th National Memorial Trail, a 1,300-mile Morris County tribute to first responders and victims of the 9/11 attacks, was held last month in Randolph in memory of the county’s 63 victims in the 2001 attacks. Officials of the September 11th National Memorial Trail Alliance, in conjunction with the Morris County Park Commission, held a ceremony to show off the new blazes on a section of Morris County’s Patriot’s Path, which serves as part of the route of the national trail. Congressman Rodney Frelinghuysen, Morris County Freeholder Director Doug Cabana, Park Com-

Morris County’s National Memorial Trail Unveiled mission President Betty Cass-Schmidt, Randolph Mayor Christine Carey and Sheriff James Gannon were among the dignitaries who participated in the event. “Our vision for both this alliance and the memorial trail is to unite fellow Americans, trail enthusiasts, organizations, and the families of those lost in the attacks, and work together to make this a reality,” said Andy Hamilton, president of the September 11th National Memorial Trail Alliance. “The trail is shaped as a triangle to forever connect these locations, and serves as a symbol of resiliency and character,” said David Brickley, founder and president emeritus of the September 11th National Me-

morial Trail Alliance. Beginning in 2004, the September 11th National Memorial Trail Alliance was formed to establish a memorial trail that links both the planned and existing memorial sites dedicated to September 11th, including the World Trade Center, Pentagon, and Flight 93 Memorial. The board currently consists of 12 members, each with their own unique tie to the cause. In addition to linking the three national memorials, the continuous trail also passes through more than 50 landmarks, such as the Eastern Continental Divide, Delaware Water Gap, and Morristown National Historical Park. It is accessible to automobiles, hikers and bikers.

utting an end to bullying is everyone’s responsibility. Whether at home, school or elsewhere, it’s important that we’re proactive. Here are five ways that kids and parents can do their part. 1. Don’t be a bystander. It’s true that it takes a lot of courage to stand out from the crowd and defend a victim of bullying. After all, the risk is that you’ll become the next target simply for speaking up. But reporting bullying and being there for someone who needs it are actions you’ll be proud of for the rest of your life. 2. Stop sibling bullying at home. You may think it’s harmless, but it’s not. Disdainful eye rolling, relentless teasing, humiliating taunts, hitting and verbal abuse directed at a sibling can cause depression and anxiety. Make sure your home is a safe place for everybody who lives there. 3. Enlist the help of adults. If you see a need for increased adult supervision at highrisk times and places at school or at home, ask for help from a trusted adult. 4. Get on board with an anti-bullying campaign at school. These campaigns show kids that bullying is not cool and won’t be tolerated any longer. Make an anti-bullying banner and use social media to advertise the

fact that you stand up against verbal and physical violence. 5. Parents: get involved. If your child is a victim of bullying, you need to take the situation seriously. Schools, the police and child psychology experts vigorously object to the belief that bullying is a childhood rite of passage. If the problem doesn’t stop, talk to the school authorities, and then to the police if there are no further improvements. At home, be vigilant about sibling bullying, and make it stop. 6. Pay attention to cyberbullying. Those who use cell phones, internet or other devices for social media interaction open themselves up to the latest form of bullying. Parents, be aware and get involved. Teach your child proper usage of these devices and reinforce that sending any text, message or photo that is cruel, hateful or threatening is as harmful as face to face bullying. Learn about the internet and pay attention to what your child is doing online. All users should be taught cyberethics and the law to prevent cyberbullying. Don’t be a victim. Don’t be a cyberbully. Bullying is no longer seen as a normal rite of passage for children; it’s a preventable behaviour that we can eradicate through education, awareness and action.

There Is A New Sign In Town! Welcome Coldwell Banker Global Luxury

he Coldwell Banker Residential Brokerage office in Mendham is pleased to introduce the Coldwell Banker Global LuxurySM program, reflecting the interconnected world of luxury real estate. Coldwell Banker Global Luxury showcases luxury properties to an international network in 49 countries and territories and effectively retires the Coldwell Banker Previews International name. As part of the introduction of Coldwell Banker Global Luxury, a new logo, signage and website have been unveiled. The new sleek look of the Coldwell Banker Global Luxury sign can currently be seen on eight properties offered for sale through the Coldwell Banker Residential Brokerage office in Mendham.

The new website, ColdwellBankerGlobalLuxury. com, connects 750,000 luxury agents across multiple international brands and syndicates listings globally to real estate portals around the world. Multiple language translations and currency conversion tools allow international buyers to tailor their experience. The website is mobile-friendly with an accompanying app. Coldwell Banker has been a leader in luxury real estate for more than 110 years, representing and selling stately castles, remote islands, mansions and estates around the world. The launch of a fresh global marketing program reinforces Coldwell Banker Residential Brokerage’s leadership in luxury and strengthens the company’s presence in the luxury market.

Every day, Coldwell Banker affiliated sales associates handle approximately $130 million in million-dollar plus home sales. In 2016, sales associates affiliated with Coldwell Banker represented home buyers and sellers in nearly 25,000 plus home sale transactions priced at $1 million or more. Locally, Coldwell Banker Residential Brokerage in New Jersey and Rockland County, N.Y. participated in 934 transaction sides of homes priced at $1 million or more in 2016, surpassing $1.3 billion in sales volume. “This exceptional track record of success comes from having an exclusive program designed specifically for luxury properties. Coldwell Banker luxury specialists use this program to craft customized strategies for marketing luxury

properties to affluent buyers worldwide,” said Hal Maxwell, president of Coldwell Banker Residential Brokerage in New Jersey and Rockland County, N.Y. In Mendham, the sales activity of luxury homes continues to grow as well. “The activity in the luxury market in the Mendham area is greatly improved over last year,” notes Sandra Laughlin, managing broker of the Coldwell Banker Residential Brokerage office in Mendham. “There are wonderful opportunities for the move-up buyer in today’s luxury market with homes realistically priced and mortgage interest rates at historic lows.” There is also good news for luxury sellers. According to Otteau Group, Inc., in Morris County in June 2017, the month’s supply

of homes over $2.5 million compared to June 2016 have dropped by half, reflecting the promising increase of sales of homes in this price point. Homes priced between $1,000,001 and $2,500,000 had an 8 months’ supply in Morris County and a 10 months’ supply in Somerset County in June 2017. The absorption rate, or months of supply, indicates how many months it would take to deplete the current inventory at the current rate

of sales. “With these numbers, the outlook is good for luxury home sellers in our market and I’m excited to utilize the Coldwell Banker Global Luxury program to help our clients achieve all of their real estate goals,” continued Laughlin. Yhinking of selling or buying a luxury home, call a Global Luxury specialist at the Coldwell Banker Residential Brokerage office in Mendham at (973) 5432552.

Rare American Flags On Display In Morris County Library

merican flags from the 18th, 19th and 20th centuries are on display in the lobby of the Morris County Library through Sept. 15. The Morris County Heritage Commission and the Morris County Library are presenting a special display entitled “Saluting Old Glory: Our Nation’s Flag.’’ The display details the history of the Star-Spangled Banner, and is on view through Tues., Aug. 25. Items in the exhibit cases will be on view through Sept. 15. Flags and exhibit cases of related items are on view on the first and second floors. A third exhibit case, lo-

cated on the fifth floor of the County Administration Building in Morristown, also features examples of rare and unusual American flags. Visitors to the county library exhibit can view a selection of American flags and see the changes that took place from the Colonial Period to the Mid-20th Century. Also on view are vintage children’s books, period photographs and other materials related to the Stars and Stripes. While each flag in the exhibit has an interesting history, three have ties to Morris County. The first, on loan from the Historical Society of Boonton Township, is an

original 35-star Civil War flag. This rare American flag was handed down to Mrs. Oscar Kincaid, Sr., from her aunt, and remained in the Kincaid family for almost 150 years. The second is a small 39-star silk parade flag with hand-painted gold stars, on loan from the Morristown Chapter of the Daughters of the American Revolution. A third flag, from the special collections in the Morris County Archives, was handcrafted in silk in 1940, and is on display in the library lobby. For more information, visit the Morris County Heritage Commission at https://mchc.morriscountynj.gov/.

Did You Know? time under the stars increases melatonin levels in the body. Melatonin is a hormone that controls wakefulness. Higher levels help the body relax and induce sleep. The researchers found that individuals who spent a weekend in the woods camping out at night

fell asleep earlier and rose an hour and a half earlier in the morning. For those who don’t like to camp, increasing exposure to daylight and then avoiding sources of artificial light (i.e., televisions and cellphones) at night can help create a similar effect.
