Millburn Looks Ahead To September Referendum
By Jason Cohen ith the school year set to begin in a few weeks, Millburn Township is facing a major decision regarding education. On Sept. 27, the town will vote on a bond referendum, which the state Department of Education (DOE) has agreed to provide the district with $7.61 million in funding for improvements to district buildings if the referendum passes. According to Nancy Dries, the communications coordinator for Millburn Township Public Schools, the state will provide debt service aid in the amount of $7,618,199. That brings the net cost of the proposed referendum to $17,974,977 from the total cost of $25,593,176. The tax impact on the average home in Millburn Short Hills assessed at $1 million dollars will be $134.19 per year. If approved, the referendum will authorize the district to raise funds through the sale of bonds to finance the purchase and renovation of the former Millburn Regional Day School (MRDS) building to become a fifth grade school to be known again as Washington School; innovation and research; design spaces at all schools; renovation of media centers at the elementary schools; and improvements at the middle school and high school. The referendum also includes updating the alarm and district wide communication systems and the renovations to the bathroom facilities and air conditioning. Millburn Superintendent Christine Burton said the public supports the proposed changes and looks forward

to the vote. "A referendum is an important signal to the public that we are making important steps forward to improve our schools,” Burton said. “We partner with the residents of the school district to provide the best for our students. We have confined the costs of this referendum to projects that directly impact our students and staff.” Burton explained that the Board of Education and the school district provided information during every step of the referendum process last year. There have been many special meetings of the board, presentations at schools and Parent Teacher Organization meetings. There will also continue to be opportunities for members of the public to learn about the proposed referendum. However, Burton noted that if it does not pass, the district will look at alternative measures for addressing enrollment and population issues at the elementary schools. Some solutions that are being considered are redistricting elementary school borders, or moving to “soft borders,” which means that students new to an elementary school will be registered to the school that has space in a particular grade, not necessarily their neighborhood school. Information about the referendum may be found at https://sites.google.com/a/millburn.org/millburn-referendum/. “As a district that continually seeks to enhance and improve our schools, this referendum will fulfill the goal of investing in excellence," Burton said.

any people worry about giving to charity. They are concerned about where their money is going and how much money is spent on advertising or administrative costs. They want to be sure that their donation is used wisely. Charity Navigator is one of the most reliable sources for evaluating charities and once again, for the sixth year in a row they have given Morris Habitat for Humanity their highest score. A letter from Ken Berger, Charity Navigator’s president & CEO, announced the honor. Berger noted that, “the nonprofit sector continues to grow at an unprecedented pace; savvy donors are demanding more accountability, transparency and quantifiable results from the charities they choose to support with their hard-earned dollars.” Receiving four out of a possible four stars indicates that Morris Habitat adheres to good governance and other best practices that minimize the chance of unethical activities and consistently executes their mission in a fiscally responsible way. This Charity
Navigator rating means that Morris Habitat for Humanity outperforms most other charities in America! Morris Habitat’s Executive Director, Blair Bravo said that, “once again receiving this 4-star designation makes all our staff and volunteers very proud. We thank our supporters for trusting us with your donations, volunteer time, and good will. Our supporters’ trust and support mean so much to us and to the families we serve. We look forward to partnering with you throughout 2014 and years to come.” This award winning Charity Navigator rating highlights the fine work of efficient, ethical and open charities.

Community Congregational Church Offers Vacation Bible Camp
ommunity Congregational Church in Short Hills is preparing for its annual summer Vacation Bible Camp, running Aug. 29 through Sept. 2, 9 a.m. – 2 p.m. Registration is now open, and kids and teens are invited to attend Vacation Bible Camp, which features cooking, science, drama, games, music and crafts activities. This year’s Vacation Bible Camp theme is “Surf Shack,� where kids catch the wave of God’s amazing love! VBC helps kids discover God’s mission for their lives as they explore ways to live out God’s love. They will encounter powerful water stories from the Bible that illustrate God’s love for all and discover how these stories can be a meaningful part of their lives. “Vacation Bible Camp is a great way for kids to make new friends with similar values, to meet adults who are invested in their spiritual growth, and for parents to get their kids back into a routine before
school starts,� says Rev. Jennifer Testa Hrynyk, one of the ministers at Community Congregational Church. “We’re excited to be able to provide a nurturing, educational, and of course fun environment for these kids and teens to explore their faith.� Kids explore five “Wave Words� throughout the week (God Creates! God Helps! God Loves! God Calms! God Sends!), while daily activities in cooking, science, drama, games, music, and crafts are combined with classic Bible stories about water – all to show kids how faith relates to their lives and how they can “surf� through life riding the wave of God’s love! Children ages three through fifth grade may register for $50 per child. Students in sixth grade and up may participate as Teen Volunteers, free of charge. Parents also have the opportunity to volunteer throughout the week as they are able. For more information, and to complete the online

How To Use Your Smartphone To Save Time And Money Back-to-School Season
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, babysit-

ters, 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 sea-
son, 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)

he opening of Family Healing Center in Livingston is the culmination of a dream of its three principals. They recognized that solo practices, which can make a difference for clients, are often constrained by limited therapeutic resources. Rather, by establishing the Family Healing Center, each sought to help clients, as the mission statement says: to “find answers, relief, and ways to cope with the challenges of life.” These are accomplished through compassionate individual therapy, supportive group counseling and mental health education.

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.

ollege bound? Dorm room comfort is crucial for health, happiness and academic success. Luckily, there are ways to create personalized, functional spaces within any budget. The college shopping experts at Bed Bath & Beyond are offering tips to help. Create Your Space Students can showcase their style and make it home by adding an area rug, decorative pillows and throw blanket for extra warmth. Window panels, tapestries, artwork and mirrors pull the room together. Add string-lights for atmosphere, or try an Étagère Floor Lamp with Charging Station to provide extra light for studying. Ample seating is always good for when friends pop in: consider chairs that fold when not in use to save space. Standard-issue dorm mattresses are often uncomfortable. Build a better bed with a mattress pad,

memory foam topper or fiberbed. Then, guard against allergens and spills with a mattress protector. Most dorms require twin extra-long (TXL) sheets, which are 5” longer than normal twin sheets. Remember, students will need an extra set for laundry day. College dorm rooms are notorious for being small. Use storage and organizational systems under the bed, over the door and in the closet. For instance, an over-thedoor shoe organizer can store rolled up T-shirts, cosmetics, toiletries and school supplies. Take advantage of vertical closet space to make more room with a Double Hang Closet Rod and Slim Grips Hangers. Use Free Resources Some retailers provide a wealth of resources to prepare collegebound shoppers for campus life. For example, Bed Bath & Beyond provides college-specific information, including tailored lists of
what students can and can’t bring. This information is available on the School Information Pages, which can be accessed at bedbathandbeyond.com/shopforcollege under “Find Your School’s Info,” or instore with an associate. Whether living on- or off-campus, the store-provided checklist is handy, breaking down essentials. High school graduates can create a registry online or in-store to share with family and friends, as well as with roommates in order to avoid duplicates. A free service, “Pack & Hold,” allows students to shop for items at a store near home for convenient pick-up at a location closer to campus. This is especially beneficial for students traveling far to school. Students can also prepare early by shopping online and selecting a ship date at checkout. Consider attending student shopping events and visiting bedbathand

pounding grounds late-night or sipping in the AM, students should consider a French Press, Pour Over, Automatic Coffee Maker or Single Serve Coffee Maker for their dorm. Don’t forget the travel mug!
