Lead East Brings Back The 1950s For Labor Day Weekend
E
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, bully-
ing, 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 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 continued on page 5

event: a 50/50 for Make-A-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 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 Transport 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.”

School To Hold Bike Swap Fundraiser
he Unity Charter School in Morris Township plans to hold a Community Wide Bike Swap on Sat., Oct. 15, from 9 a.m. - 11 a.m. Opened to the public, donations are needed. The school is looking for gently used bike donations of all different sizes. All bikes will be sold at the bike swap for only $10 with all of the proceeds going to the Unity Charter School PTO. This is a great way to help community members purchase affordable bikes and help the environment by reusing bikes that would otherwise end up in the trash. Save any
working bikes that family members no longer use, or good bikes found on the side of the road and park them at the back entrance of Unity Charter School from Sept. 10- Oct. 14. The bikes will be stored, shined and put out for sale in the back parking lot. Thanks in advance for helping to kick off our school's focus on sustainable transportation and for making some other adult or child extremely happy by giving them a "new" affordable bike. Questions, email dina.artale@unitycharterschool.org.

he arrival of cooler weather marks a prime time to plant bulbs that will bloom come spring and summer. Bulbs should be planted as soon as the ground is cool, ideally when temperatures average between 40 and 50 F. Just be sure to plant bulbs at least six weeks before the ground freezes for optimal suc-
cess. Always follow the bulb distributor’s guidelines for planting, including suggestions regarding spacing and soil depth. Remove any weeds and loosen the soil to get started. In addition, think about mixing in compost or other organic matter to enrich the soil if it lacks nutrients.

Rooted Organization Re-Blossoms In Morristown To Keep It Beautiful
By Cheryl Conway orristown Beautiful, Inc., is in full bloom again with a renewed interest to preserve, fundraise and maintain all of the components that make Morristown a fabulous place to live, work and visit. Established 42 years ago, the non-profit 501(c)3 organization is up and running again with a new board of trustees, events planned and an energy to revitalize its mission to enhance and sustain the 300 year old township. The organization just reformed this past month and already held its kick-off fundraiser at Olives Lucy’s Kitchen, Thurs., Aug. 18, attracting 75 attendees for wine-tasting and hors d’oeuvres. Those involved in Morristown Beautiful either work, live, are past residents or just love the community. The organization is supported by the Morristown Clean Communities Program, the Rotary Club of Morristown and the Morristown Partnership. “We got up and running this past month,” explains Kathleen Margiotta, secretary for Morristown Beautiful Board of Trustees and Clean Communities Coordinator. “The board kind of floundered,” she says, with members getting older or moving away. Margiotta helped to keep the organization alive through the Clean Communities Program, but now with the new board, Morristown Beautiful can grow again and attract even more volunteers and initiatives.
“2016 is a rebirth for this organization,” says Margiotta. “It was never ended, just running by a thread. We never wanted it to flounder; people weren’t around anymore. It was a matter of getting people back together. Morristown Beautiful is back in business; we’ve been in a holding period.” With a 12 member board of trustees, “Some board members have businesses, some work in town, some historically love Morristown,” says Margiotta. “We want to get people from all segments involved.” The purpose for Morristown Beautiful is “to promote and maintain the beauty and unique characteristics of Morristown,” says Margiotta, “keeping it clean, safe and pleasant.” Its mission is to preserve the town by “educating and encouraging public use, appreciation, of places of beauty and historical or cultural significance in and around the Town of Morristown,” as stated on the website. Other missions are to develop “by organizing and funding projects that enhance the beautification of the town” and to maintain the town “by cleaning and restoring public parks, monuments, historical sites, and other places of aesthetic or cultural interests.” Morristown Beautiful was incorporated in Sept. 24, 1974, by Glenn K. Coutts Sr., a native Morristonian and civic leader, to spruce up the town. While serving as the Morristown Rotary Club president in 1973, Coutts traveled to Lucerne, Switzerland for an international Rotary Club conference and
was impressed by that town’s beauty. Coutts then returned to Morristown and shared those images with the rotary requesting a campaign to beautify the town. “Soon, the town’s government, schools, business community and other organizations signed on to the plan and it became a town-wide project,” the website states. “A lot of founding members were rotary members,” says Margiotta who first got involved in the organization as a councilmember. Coutts, who was chair of Morristown Green, served as Morristown Beautiful president for more than 40 years. The organization has supported the planting of trees, planters filled with flowers, and placement of trash receptacles along downtown sidewalks. In the 1990s, 50 trash receptacles were donated to the town by Morristown Beautiful, adds Margiotta. One of the current projects for Morristown Beautiful is to increase the number of flowering pots around town. The Morristown Rotary Club spearheaded the Flower Barrel Program and continued it for years, explains Jennifer Wehring, Morristown Beautification chair who works for Morristown Partnership. The rotary provided wooden flowering pots, or whiskey barrels, but many started falling apart, explains Margiotta. “Lots of water needed to make these flowers flourish,” she continued on page 16

n the heart of Morris Township there lies a tropical paradise surrounding a unique home with a circular design. This dramatic 4 bedroom, 3.5 bath home was custom built with an open concept, vaulted ceilings and expansive windows throughout which brings nature up close and the outside in. Along one side of the property, a
Paradise In Morris Township?
100 foot long water feature cascades through a mix of moss rock, Delaware River and Cottage Stone, and an array of aquatic plants such as black and gold bamboo, sweet flag, cattails and ferns. At the bottom of this majestic slope is a 26 x 16 foot goldfish pond. Whether sitting on the wrap around deck, flagstone patio, or any room of the house with
an open window, sounds of trickling water and whistling birds can be heard. The first floor of the ‘Round House' includes a master bedroom suite with two master bathrooms, two walk-in closets and a delightful lounging area. There is also an additional bedroom which currently serves as a library, a living room
with gas fireplace, which opens to the kitchen allowing for easy entertaining. The dining room is magnificent with its vaulted ceiling and a built-in cherry and granite credenza. The grand foyer is the focal point of the home with its sensational open staircase which leads to the lower level of the home, also with walls of
windows and a walkout to the flagstone patio. The living space here includes two bedrooms, full bathroom, and a family room with an imported antique wet bar and wood stove. An unexpected bonus is a 27-foot indoor heated pool with plenty of space for lounging or exiting to the flagstone patio to sunbathe after a swim or to simply enjoy the outdoors. The best way to understand the unique construction of
this round home is to see it from the two car attached garage, also built in the circular fashion with exposed trusses and struts. For those looking for privacy and tranquility minutes away from the vibrant center of downtown Morristown, this home has it all.

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-tocontinued on next page

Tips To Beat... continued from previous page
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.â€? • 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 adultinfluenced 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 children 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,â€? says Redman.

Morristown Community Embraces Local Woman’s Jump To The Olympics
By Cheryl Conway ocal officials are planning a celebration to congratulate Olympian Christina Epps who recently competed in the triple jump in the Rio 2016 Olympic Games held Aug. 5-21. The 25-year old Morristown native finished 15th out of 37 other competitors from around the world. She had jumped 14.01 meters, which was just short of qualifying on Sat., Aug. 13, for the final round. The top three finalists are World Champion
T
Caterine Ibarguen of Colombia (15.17m), Yulimar Rojas of Venezuela (14.98m) and Olga Rypakova of Kazakhstan (14.74m). Mt. Olive’s Keturah Orji of United States registered a 14.71 mark finishing in fourth place. Councilwoman Hiliari B. Davis was working with Morristown Mayor Tim Dougherty about organizing a local celebration to congratulate Epps’ accomplishment of competing in the Olympic Games. Plans were not finalized as of press time.
Lung Cancer Walk Set For Oct.
he seventh annual Northern NJ Free to Breathe 5K Lung Cancer Walk is set to take place on Sun., Oct. 2, 9 a.m. to noon, at Horseshoe Lake Park in Succasunna, to raise awareness and funds to assist the fight against lung cancer. The disease kills more American men and women than any other cancer, yet remains one of the least funded.
Organized by Free to Breathe, proceeds from the event will benefit lung cancer research, education and awareness programs. Free to Breathe seeks to make surviving lung cancer the expectation, not the exception. Its mission: double the fiveyear survival rate, currently 16 percent, by 2022. Cost to walk is $15-$30.
“She should be home soon and we will coordinate a celebration,” said Davis. “I think it goes without saying that when a local athlete makes the most powerful track team in the world and is invited to represent her country in the Olympics it is absolutely worth celebrating.” The Morristown community also helped to raise money online to offset travel costs for Epp’s mother, Beverly Epps-Blackwell, and stepfather, Kevin Blackwell, to travel to Rio to attend the games. From the Go Fund Me Page, 175 people had contributed $9,434 in 25 days, providing financial support for her most proud supporters to cheer her on in person. Epps graduated Morristown High School in 2009 and then attended Coppin State University in Baltimore, Md., majoring in psychology with a degree in 2013, and starring in track and field and volleyball. Before entering the Olympics, Epps also competed in the Triple Jump in the 2015 Pan American Games, finishing seventh

How to Handle Those Problem Areas
ack to School can be a challengebut as soon as everyone’s schedule is back in full swing, take the opportunity to pay a little more attention to a very important person…. You. So, if you have been paying attention to everything except yourself, now may be a great time to take inventory and think about what you really need to feel better and more confident about you. Remember, the way you look, can have a direct impact on the way you feel- and vice-versaso maybe it’s time for a “September resolution” to work on you. No one feels 100 percent confident with their body. If the way your abdomen, thighs and knees look when you wear shorts or that “little black dress” -and if trying on your fall wardrobe brings visions of a muffin top and chubby “problem areas,” don’t worry you’re not alone. It doesn’t matter where the least favorite “spot” of your body is – help is on the way- and there’s a good chance you can deal with these areas and even that double-chin that has been gaining on you- in ways that even the most aggressive diet and exercise has not been able to fix. Yes, the times, they are changing and now you can literally freeze away the fat in many of those problem areas… including the abdomen, thighs, knees….and even that stubborn double-chin. CoolSculpting is the latest FDAcleared technology in fat freezing and body sculpting. The CoolSculpting treatment freezes the fat cells underneath the skin, without damaging any other tissue, organs or the skin itself. Once the fat cells are frozen, they are metabolized and naturally removed from the body. Thus, the fat reduction that occurs is permanent. Typical patients can expect a 20 to 25 percent reduction in their fat with each treatment, and results are seen approximately eight to 10 weeks after the treatment. CoolSculpting is a preferred fat removal procedure compared to many other methods, due to the fact that it is non-invasive, non-surgical and has very little pain and down-time. At Vibrance MedSpa we are proud to
say that we have been offering CoolSculpting for almost three years. Our clients have seen tremendous results and have successfully reduced their abdomens, belly fat, love handles and inner and outer thighs. As of late, per the requests of our valued clients, we are now even offering the latest in CoolSculpting procedures which reduces submental fat on the double chin and the upper knee areas. Whether you are looking for a way to shed those last few stubborn pounds around your mid-section or your chin seems to have morphed into two, don’t wait another day to feel good about yourself again by making a positive change in your appearance and attitude by visiting our highly trained and understanding staff! Call today at 973-328-1700 to schedule a free consultation and freeze assessment to see how CoolSculpting can help freeze your stubborn fat away for good.

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.

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.

How Students Can Handle The Transition To Middle School
child’s school-aged years are filled with many different lessons and experiences. While in school, kids have the opportunity to broaden their horizons and meet new people. Many students will attend various schools before moving on to college, and therefore they must learn how to adjust to new schools. While many students attend elementary school together for years, students may not know their classmates once they make it to middle school, which tends to boast larger student bodies than elementary schools. That’s because many middle schools’ student bodies are a combination of several elementary schools. Making the transition from elementary school to middle school or junior high can spark anxiety in students, but that does not have to be. The National Education Association says a common element of a successful middle school experience is a smooth and positive transition from elementary school. The following are a few ways students can handle their transition to middle school. • Participate in a school-based transition program. Middle schools frequently host open houses for elementary school students, who can take tours of the campus. Parents can take part in these events with their children. If your schedule does not allow you to attend, then schedule a private tour with the middle school principal or a faculty
G
member. Middle school guidance counselors or guest speakers also may make the rounds, visiting elementary schools directly. Be sure your student attends such information sessions so he or she can get an idea of what to expect during middle school. • Dispel any myths your youngster might have heard about middle school. Youngsters hear lots of things about middle schools, and much of what kids hear might be untrue. Ask kids what they have heard about the schools they will be moving on to, and then do your best to dispel any myths. • Find a middle school buddy. Ask an older sibling or invite someone who is currently enrolled in the school to speak with your child and answer any questions he or she may have. Hearing directly from a fellow student may make your child feel more comfortable about what to expect. • Talk about any other fears. Engage in an open dialogue with your son or daughter about any additional fears he or she may have. If students are worried about academics, spend some time over the summer going over the curriculum. If the potential for peer pressure is a cause for concern, reinforce advice on how to react to peer pressure. Parents and their children can take several steps to make students’ transitions to middle school as smooth as possible.
