Mendham TV Wins Three Awards
By Maryanne Christiano-Mistretta endham TV, the television station of the Mendhams, has recently announced that it won three awards from Jersey Access Group (JAG), which is an organization of public media. In the “Arts, Entertainment, or Music Performance,” category, Mendham TV received the Video Excellence Award for the scripted drama, “Divorce Diary.” The show stars Haley Georgen as a girl whose parents are going through a divorce. The short feature reveals her inner thoughts and feelings as her parents, wrapped up in their own drama, remain unaware of the fallout their divorce has on their daughter. The film also stars Terri Shetler. “Divorce Diary” was written, directed, and produced by Mendham Borough resident Kyle Schickner, who is also involved in production at Mendham TV. “It really is for kids … ‘This is what I’m feeling. I’m angry. I feel alone,’” he said, describing the vibe of the program. In the “Documentary Profile or Event” category,
Mendham TV received a Video Excellence Award for “Ice Rescue,” a documentary directed by Mendham Township resident George Twill, who is also co-chair of Mendham TV. The 15-minute short shows the Brookside Fire Department going out to a local pond and cutting a hole in the ice to demonstrate how to prep for an ice rescue. And finally, in the “Sports Programming Games” category, Mendham TV received a Video Excellence Award for a live broadcast of a Mendham Little League game. The show was produced and directed by station manager, Doug Black. The show was shot at the request of Rob Rosselli who won the prize - “a full production of an event”- at the Silent Auction at the Mendies, the annual celebration and fundraiser of the station. Schickner said the station was pleasantly surprised and proud of winning the awards. “It’s good to know we’re going in the right direction,” he said. He added that they are trying to start a “rebirth” at the station by putting more quality stuff on, including a new show called “What About The Mendhams?” which will, in the first episode, talk about the competition between the borough and township. Schickner said, “We’re going to local stores, interviewing the superintendent of schools.” Schickner moved to Mendham from Los Angeles and has been at Mendham TV for about a year and a half. In the past he’s made feature films and is now trying to reinvent the wheel at this station. “My feeling is that there’s a lot of opportunity to make the station more dynamic and interesting,” he said. “I’m doing a summer camp with teenagers and engaging them

in how to film, make short videos, and use what they’ve worked on and put it on the air.” Mendham TV can be watched on Comcast Channel 29, Verizon Channel 22, and Video on Demand. The goal of the station is to provide relevant community information, education, and entertainment on a 24/7 basis while promoting community involvement without the use of tax funds.

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. 1 – 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 ticket booth and then back at end continued on next page

continued from previous page 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 MakeA-Wish and a Toys for Tots drop-off. The Make-A-Wish 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 5050 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 Transport Association Toys for Tots collec-
tion 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.”

Centenary To Continue Community Plunge Tradition
entenary University in Hackettstown plans to continue its longstanding commitment to community service when the Class of 2020 carries forth one of the institution’s primary missions by engaging in “Community Plunge� from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. on Mon., Aug. 29. Centenary University has long been known for its innovative approach to education, and in 1990, the institution became the first college in New Jersey to introduce community service as a required part of its curriculum. On Aug. 29, there will be a wide variety of locations and activities where first-year students will volunteer their time. Most of the locations are local nonprofits. “Community Plunge is an excellent opportunity for our students to get acquainted with the area and promotes good will with local organizations,� says Allison Galvin, director of Student Programming at Centenary University. “It will also expose students to
the benefits of community service, if they have not been involved with volunteerism in the past.� The community plunge sites include: America’s Grow-A-Row in Pittstown. Students will have a chance to help harvest and plant the crops that will eventually make it to the tables of families in NJ. All produce is donated to food-banks across the state. Bristol Glen Retirement Home in Newton. Take part in one of the multiple projects available at Bristol Glen, which includes running recreational programs with residents, overhauling the activity center where residents enjoy baking, quilting and painting or helping to paint the Gazebo. Camp Merry Heart in Hackettstown. Students will work on the grounds of Camp Merry Heart to ensure that the grounds are ready for their fall programs. Easter Seals in Blairstown and Hackettstown. Students will help run a BBQ and various outdoor activities for adults with dis-
abilities. Hackettstown Main Street through the Hackettstown BID. Students will clean and refurbish various communal spaces on Main Street. In addition, the students will receive a mini-tour of the downtown businesses to help acquaint them with their new home. Hackettstown Library. Students will spend the day at the local library helping with
basic maintenance and clerical work. Trinity United Methodist Church in Hackettstown. Students will assist the staff at Trinity Methodist Church clean and maintain its food pantry, kitchen, thrift shop, grounds and church. Rutherfurd Hall in Allamuchy. Students will maintain the historic site as they prepare for the upcoming fall.

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-

Tips To Beat Wardrobe Wars When Back-to-School Shopping For Kids
t’s no secret that kids have strong opinions when it comes to style and that their tastes are always evolving. With 38 percent of parents spending between $100 to $249 per child on back-to-school clothing, according to statistics from online retailer Zulily, parents and kids alike should feel confident in their purchases. “It’s never a good feeling to buy your child new clothes, only to find a favorite color, pattern or style has changed,” says Shawn Redman, senior buyer and kids’ fashion expert for zulily.com. “This back-toschool season, our ‘Kids’ Trend Report’ uncovered that now, more than ever, it’s important to involve kids in the shopping process to lessen potential power struggles and inspire smiles on the first day of school.” Redman recommends planning ahead to avoid stress. Start by cleaning out your kids’ closets so
you can see what still fits and create an accurate checklist of needed items. Then, look for the best deals to help you stay within budget. Online retailers like zulily.com can be a go-to destination to discover great deals on back-to-school shopping, including a variety of shoes, apparel, accessories and school supplies. Daily, the site features a new assortment of unique looks at great prices. To help parents shop for kids, zulily is offering key survey findings from kids ages five to 12, in its inaugural “Kids’ Trend Report.” • Girls go against gender norms while embracing the combination of comfort and style, with their top look being athletic (40 percent), followed by boho (33 percent). Boys, however, are looking to a more adult-influenced approach for fashion inspiration, preferring city chic (48 percent) and preppy (33 percent) for their back-to-
school wardrobe. • The classic, yet cool, color of blue is the top choice among all kids (26 percent). However, for girls, pink (29 percent) and purple (25 percent) reign supreme. Boys still prefer blue (42 percent), with red (15 percent) and black (12 percent) coming in as second and third choices. • Sorry Mom, girls say you are not their number one style icon. While many moms use their own style as the main source of inspiration when shopping for their kids (38 percent), girls are more likely to turn to friends (41 percent) first for inspiration, then to Mom (26 percent), followed closely by television (22 percent). Boys continue to go with the flow and frequently turn to parents for style inspiration first (38 percent), followed closely by friends (34 percent), with television being the smallest source of their style inspiration (14 percent).
• Style inspiration isn’t the only thing moms and daughters may not see eye-to-eye on, with 36 percent of moms admitting to disagreeing on clothing choices with their daughters. To beat the wardrobe wars, a majority of moms (58 percent) recommend giving their chil-
dren choices and letting them ultimately pick their own outfits. “The back-to-school season is a perfect opportunity to inspire kids to express their individuality and boost their confidence,” says Redman. (StatePoint)

By Catherine Bialkowski ow many uses are there for a toothpick? For the average person, not many. For Stan Munro, however, the possibilities are endless. Throughout his life, the New York state native has created miniature versions of the Eiffel Tower, the Golden Gate Bridge, and the Taj Mahal, to name a few - all using only toothpicks. Munro, who has travelled extensively because of his astonishingly accurate representations of famous structures -- which have come to be known as “Toothpick World” - recently opened an exhibit at the Morris Museum in Morristown. Open from July 1 to Aug. 31, this exhibition will showcase some of Munro’s most popular works, including the Empire State Building, the
Toothpick World Visits Morris County
White House, and the Freedom Tower. Surprisingly, Munro did not initially anticipate creating such an extensive “world” of toothpick buildings. “Somewhere over the years, I just got carried away
- but I’m not sure I want it under control,” he explained. Munro has been using toothpicks as an art form since the age of 10, but it was on a random Tuesday afternoon 13 years ago that he started his official career as a toothpick sculptor.
Initially, Munro began gluing toothpicks together to relax and lose track of time. It was something he truly loved to do - a hobby. However, when he became an unemployed television reporter in 2003, he began to view this activity as more than just something to do in his free time. To keep himself busy, he came up with the idea of a toothpick city, which quickly turned into something much bigger, and much more serious. It became a career. “Some say ‘it’s not a job if you love it,’” Munro said. “Others say it’s a calling. I’m not sure how it happened, and I don’t know how long it will last, but, for now, it’s fun, and God willing, I will continue. Right now, I’m the luckiest guy on the planet.” As for his inspirations, Munro says his ideas come

something right if I’m not challenged enough,” he says. “My favorite piece is always whatever is up next.” If he wasn’t the creator of the incredibly fascinating Toothpick World, Munro says he would still be working in television. “Either that, or selling sock puppets and puzzle boxes from my grocery cart,” he jokes. However, it doesn’t seem that his career in toothpicks will be ending anytime soon. His recent showing at the Fuller Craft Museum in Brockton, Mass., this past winter turned out to be one of the biggest they’d ever had, according to ticket sales. “Most art museums scoff at what I do,” Munro confesses. “But some find it whimsical and unpretentious. As for me, I just think it’s fun.” continued on next page
from everywhere. He builds replicas of structures from all over the world - everything from an Indian temple to a church in the mountains of Norway. “If it exists, it’s on my list,” he says. One of the most anticipated pieces at the Morris exhibit is Munro’s rendering of the Hagia Sophia in Istanbul, a structure that has been, in the past, a basilica, then a mosque and now a museum. “For at least ten years, true fans of architecture have asked me to build Hagia Sophia, but I never had enough information,” said Munro. However, after discovering some drone videos of the structure, along with satellite photos and 3D renderings, he was able to complete in time for this exhibition. “I feel like I’m not doing

“Fun� is certainly an understatement. Munro’s creations are intricate and beautifully designed, and the attention he so obviously pays to detail is stunning. “I’m a crazy guy gluing toothpicks and renting them to museums - who does that?�
12th Annual Puptoberfest Planned
he remarks. “I keep thinking someone is going to barge in on me one day and say, ‘You have to stop. This isn’t a real thing.’� But it is as real as any form of art, and just as wonderful to look at. Toothpick World is definitely something worth seeing.

Legendary Birthplace Of American Cinema Features Workshop For Future Cinematic Artists
by Michele Guttenberger n Sun., July 17, the Thomas Edison National Historical Park in West Orange partnered with MONO NO AWARE, a nonprofit cinematic arts creative group to offer a one day film workshop at the exact site and replica of the legendary Black Maria studio. The program was promoted as a school age workshop. Participants were given special reservations to shoot film inside the Black Maria using the film format that was originally used more than 100 years ago. Family participants came as far as Brooklyn New York to learn about old film production methods and starred in their own skit complete with props and attire accessories. The skits were shot using 16mm film. This is a format Edison’s movie cameras used to capture short sequences as black and white images on reversal film stock. MONO NO AWARE staff was the camera crew and film processors. At 4 p.m. all workshop movie participants got to see
their film projected on the movie screen at the visitor’s film viewing area and also received a digital video copy of their work. This was the third year of this popular July summer film workshop. The park staff looks forward to repeating this family program again next July with MONO NO AWARE. Plan ahead for it in next year’s summer calendar: note Sunday mid-July 2017 as a summer cinematic workshop date. Be aware this workshop has limited enrollment slots and fills up quickly. Edison and his staff produced hundreds of filmstrips from their Black Maria studio, with many genres and titles ranging from the romantic Kiss to a Cockfight and sports Wrestling, that were made to be viewed in Kinetoscope parlors across the country in the 1880’s. The first movie theater projection was in 1896. The Edison Company showed a collection of moving images as a minor act in a vaudeville show at Koster and Bial’s Music Hall in New York City. This event inaugurated the era of commer-
cial movies which has now lasted into the 21st Century. During the month of August come see these same landmark films. Edison studio produced films will be shown every Friday at 2:30 p.m. in historical building 11 which
is free with an entrance admission. For more special family programs at Thomas Edison National Historical Park in West Orange go to www.nps.gov/edis or contact visitor information at 973-736-0550 x11.
