WHEN SHOULD MY CHILD SEE AN ORTHODONTIST?

The American Orthodontic Association recommends by the age of 7.

This way, any potential issues can be caught early. The earlier they’re caught, the easier they tend to be to treat.

Caldwell Resident’s Musical is Up for An Award

Dead End the Musical, a concept audio album created by Harvey Edelman of Caldwell (lyrics), Neil Fishman (music), and Peter C. Palame (book), has been nominated for a 2022 Society of Voice Arts and Sciences (SOVAS) Award for Outstanding Production. “We are thrilled to be nominated,” says Edelman. “This musical is a labor of love.” The show is adapted from the landmark Broadway stage play from the 1930’s, entitled Dead End, by Sidney Kingsley. It is a rich story of struggles in the depression era, where the rich live alongside the poor in Manhattan. According to Edelman, the entertaining and lively musical is an audition piece with the goal of getting the show on Broadway. It has a cast of 16 Broadway caliber performers, with 20 fully orchestrated musical numbers, dramatic scenes, sound effects, and musical underscoring. Dead End the Musical is available where audiobooks are sold. For more information, go to deadendmusical.com

Line Dancer of Verona Hopes to Inspire More People to Partner Dance

Suzanne Digiovani of Verona is on a quest to get more people, including men, to go line dancing, also known as country dancing and partner dancing. She says she lost her husband at the age of 31 and was looking for a way to get out and meet new people. She went line dancing and was hooked immediately. She has now been dancing for 28 years and does it 4-5 times a week. She says, “Line dancing is a great way to meet people, and to exercise, and it is also something fun to do with someone you know.” She especially enjoys learning new dances every week. Her one complaint is that there aren’t enough men participating. She hopes more men join in partner dancing as time goes on and it continues to become more popular.
