Celebrate US Armed Forces At Free Concert Hosted by Roxbury Art Alliance

By Theresa Boattini-Vaia free good time is hard to find, especially when its exceptional and unique. The Roxbury Art Alliance and Recreation Dept have invited the US Army to make it happen. On Sept 12 at Roxbury High School, the Army Field Band Volunteers will be rocking the high school auditorium with their free show at 7 pm. Thats free, gratis, no cost, just pick up your tickets at the Recreation Office at Horseshoe Lake. Seating is limited. For more details go to www.roxburyartsalliance.org The Roxbury Art Alliance (RAA), established in 1997, is a robust benefit to the Township and its history is rich. A new mission and vision were put into motion 10 years later in 2007 by Roxbury Town Councilman Tim Smith whose background as an Irish tenor of caliber with a performance past saw what might be a Roxbury Performing Arts Center. Alongside the Roxbury School Districts commitment to the arts - the Districts program is ranked within the top 100 in the nation - it was obvious Roxbury was an ideal

area for this realization. This aligned appreciation of art and culture helped seed an idea whose time it was to take root, it was cultivated, nurtured, and nourished by the Council and the community. Reverence for performance talent was in place, the idea was embraced by the Town Council and its genesis was begun. With minimal cost, RAA took the leap in evolution. According to Mark Barbone The Arts Alliance was typically doing 1, 2 or 3 coffee houses a year as well a scholarship fundraiser in the early days. We would award to a few graduating students of the Roxbury High School that demonstrated through an application a unique appreciation of performing arts, fine arts or visual arts. Over those years, we have awarded $15,000 in scholarships. Regrettably we are well kept secret, tells Mark Barbone, VP of the executive board of RAA, passionately involved with his family for many years. In the beginning,

only a few shows a year were typical. In 2009 the Roxbury Performing Arts Center (RoxPAC) was born, an air conditioned black box theatre with comfortable seating for up to 175 people. We have a long term lease with the Township, maintain the interior and the improvements, we put in a new HVAC system, theatrical light and sound, and a moveable, modular stage. It allows for a very intimate experience for the audience and the performer. Tucked away and unadorned, behind the gym in the teen center at the Horseshoe Lake Recreation building on Eyland Avenue, the RoxPac Theatre was converted from a dusty old storage room full of boxes and old stuff belonging to the Township and the Police Department. Most theatre venues have a Main Street address, a front and center faade, says Mark. We have a fantastic view with a beautiful location at Horseshoe Lake, but not everyone knows or sees us.

ub Scout Pack 188 of Landing, NJ cycled 12 miles throughout the Saddle River County Park System on July 30, 2011. The weather was perfect and at the six-mile marker they stopped for some refreshments and lots of water. When they finished the 12-mile trek, they then went through a number of obstacle courses to teach them good balance and safe handling of their bicycles. One obstacle was to not run over the "rocks' where they had to ride ten times through a bunch of towels

tossed on the ground (the rocks) without touching them. Another obstacle was who could go the fastest from one end of the basketball court to the other and then who also could go the slowest which taught them balance. Lastly, they had to move around cones in a semi-circle without touching them or putting their feet down. Each time they went through the cones got closer and closer and the turn became sharper and sharper. The boys had a blast!

Roxbury EMS - Part 2

By Theresa Boattini-Vaia nder the direction of Roxbury Fire Department and Department Chief Craig Begraft, Roxbury EMS are first responders that volunteer their personal time, develop new and out of the ordinary skillsets, and dedicate themselves to the greater community. As the emergency medical service of the township, members are everyday people doing the extraordinary. Some may be nurses, some homemakers, some carpenters, executives, church and synagog staff, electricians, and mechanics. These are very special people, Chief Begraft expresses. EMTs arrive at any call that has an accident and injuries or is medically related, though they do not treat with medication. Loss of limb, heart attacks, child birth - all dispatch the squads. There is considerable overlap between fire and EMS, and firefighter associates will often respond to EMS calls to provide additional help, such as driving or carrying the litter. Its a shared service, puts the Chief. Two of the three trucks can transport someone in need, and all three of these specialized vehicles carry equipment, the jaws of life, oxygen, and serve as the rehab during emergencies. Prearranged transportation is also a service the township EMS can provide. EMS personnel are required to attend over 180 hours of class room time to be eligible to receive their EMT certificates, and its not easy. Initiates do hands-on medical first aid and they must perform. Once they become EMT'S, thats emergency medical technicians, they must attend annual training to receive CEU'S to maintain their EMT status. A significant number of members are accredited in both Fire and EMS, and they will respond to both. The typical response will keep the crew for a minimum of 1-1/2 hours, nighttime and daytime, almost every day. Not atypical is more than one call in 24hrs, frequently during the night. It is run as a duty crew

- every midnight a designated group of 4 or 5 people are on call to respond so that 20 people dont run to the station. Daytime is toughest for volunteer response as most people work and have responsibilities, new volunteers are welcome and encouraged to join. There is a background check and a 6-month initiation period, the training and equipment is provided by the township budget. No experience necessary. The Dailly Record Readers Choice awarded Roxbury Fire and EMS second place status as the abilities within this organization are that high. Drill nights are Tuesdays or Wednesdays, dependant on the station. The equipment and trucks are maintained and inspected and the liquids are checked. There is also training, there is always more training. The services provide stand-by for community events such as the MS walk, fireworks, and picnics. Chief Kirk Keyes, Company 2 in Landing, owner of Floor Solutions on Rt. 10, conveys an actual event that is the heart and soul of the emergency responder. After dark on Eastbound Rout 80, there was a major motor vehicle crash that involved a few cars and a tractor trailer on an overpass. The truck also collided with a van filled with almost 16 people on their way home from a retreat, and the impact knocked the van off the roadway. The momentum carried the van over the edge of the bridge and onto Landing Road below. The passengers were trapped inside. All 3 Roxbury companies responded to the 2 separate scenes, one was the major accident on Rt. 80, and the other, the van that crashed onto Landing Road from Rt. 80 E above. The jaws of life were completely engaged as people needed to be cut out of the wreckage, while ambulances and rescue vehicles pulled in and out everywhere. Father down Rt. 80 another accident occurs a short time later, a bus goes off the interstate and down the embankment.

Multiple agencies replied to these calls, the extent of what has happened leaves no one locality the ability to absorb the overwhelming demands. There are injuries on Rt. 80, on Landing Road, and along the hillside off the freeway, all in the Roxbury Fire Rescue jurisdiction; the needs are vast and varied. With the darkness, lighting had to be set up while the investigative team canvassed the grounds and the volunteers administered aid and assistance through the night. Sadly,

one causality passed in the tragedy, still there are a few people around today because of the work that we do, says Chief. Keyes. All hours of the night and day, almost every day of the week, we are there. Many holidays are interrupted, many dinners are missed, many times you watch the sun come up. Saving lives and property is the work that we do. There is no feeling like saving somebodys life.

Travel Back to the 1950s

By Elsie Walker hese days you see it everywhere..the news about problems with the countrys economy, unemployment woes, high gas prices, and the list goes on. For a few days, wouldnt you like to turn back the clock to a time of happy days. Thats just what will happen on Labor Day weekend. From August 31st through September 4th, the Parsippany Hilton will be transported back to the 1950s. Slicked back hair and doo wop groups will be back in style. A Summer Place and Jailhouse Rock will be among the features playing at the local drive-in and classic cars will fill the lots. Welcome to the 29th annual Lead East. The driving force for this blast from the past is Terry Cook of Appleton Productions in Long Valley. With his assistant, Linda, hes taken the traditional car show and transformed it into a party, the worlds biggest 50s party. That party includes bands, prom night, and the sights and sounds of a much more innocent era. It's 100% American, 100% family, 100% nostalgia. Kids under 12 are free with an adult, said Cook.

Some might wonder where the lead in Lead East comes from. As the events website shares, The word LEAD is a synonym for "customized car." Lead East boasts an impressive number of cars. Filling the Hilton and adjacent lots are classic cars from 1972 and earlier. This year, Cook anticipates that there will be 18,000 cars on display. While some people come to stay for the duration of the event and show their cars, other come as spectators for a few hours or more to take in the atmosphere and get away from the 21st century woes. Providing [theres] good weather all weekend, [therell be] 15,000 to 20,000 [people], shared Cook. Among the events on hand is a drive-in theater set up right in the Hilton lot. The nightly venue boasts some classic movies including ones featuring 50s teen favorites Sandra Dee and Elvis Presley. On tap are: (September 1st) From Here to Eternity, A Summer Place, and Jailhouse Rock; (September 2nd) Sands of Iwo Jima and Flying Tigers plus an art car documentary; (September 3rd) Alfred Hitchcocks Psycho, The Angry Red Planet, and a

Organizing Your Family For A Smooth Transition Back To School

smooth transition back to school is what all parents hope for. Back to school preparation is not just about buying school supplies and fall clothes, but it is also about purging old papers and supplies and setting up systems to support your family during the new school year. Whether you have a kindergarten age child going to school for the first time, or a High School age child who is an old pro, there are steps you can take to make things flow smoothly when it comes to starting the school year right. Below are some tips for maximizing your familys efficiency during the school year: At Home Homework Area Set up a quiet, uncluttered work area for your child to study in. Stock the area with supplies for the upcoming year. School Supplies Check each teachers supply list and send in the requested supplies. Locker Decide with your child what is needed to organize their locker. This may include: locker shelves, a white board, a magnetic

pencil basket, etc. Encourage your child to find time to periodically clean out their locker (go in early or stay late if that is allowed). Planner / Homework Strategy Help your child come up with a strategy for recording and keeping track of assignments and for bringing papers to and from school (an agenda book along with an accordion folder can work well). Paperwork Strategy Set up a file box, by subject, for storing papers that are not being used currently, but that your child needs to save. Backpack Check on the backpack capacity requirements for your childs grade and select a bag that will accommodate the items that will be brought to and from school. Night before Preparation Set a policy of prepping and staging school items before going to bed. This includes: packing the backpack and gym/sports items for the next day, making lunches/snacks (or packing money) and picking out clothes. Follow these suggestions, and you will help

create lasting habits that will help the back to school transition be easier, smoother and more enjoyable for all! Sherry Onweller is a Professional Organizer based out of NJ. Sherrys Organizing Solutions provides sympathetic and nonjudgmental organizing and de-clut-

Try some of these quick dinner tips and easy recipes for a delicious family dinner fast. Simple is better.

Better Back to School Lunches and Munches

aking sure kids get balanced and nutritious school lunches and after-school snacks doesnt have to be hard. In fact, it can be fun. Parents can ensure kids get a lunch thats good for them and that theyll eat by making it themselves with products they trust. All Boars Head Brand deli meats and cheeses are gluten free, and there are dozens of lower sodium and heart-healthy options to choose from, as well. No matter what your health priority, you can rest assured your family is in good hands with Boars Head. Here are some simple tips from Boars Head for lunches and munches kids will love: If your child leaves most of his or her sandwich behind, use cookie cutters to create a favorite shape such as an airplane, car, star or heart. The fun shape might encourage your child to finish the entire sandwich. A colorful selection of food and different texture adds appeal carrot sticks and green grapes for color, whole wheat pretzels and crackers for crunch. Put a surprise in your childs lunch: a sticker, a note of encouragement, or a small toy. Children love the do-it-yourself aspect of building their

own pizza or making their own cracker stack. You can make the experience fun and healthier by cubing Boars Head meats and cheeses and putting them in a bag along with some low-salt crackers. Roll Boars Head meats and cheeses for dipping into condiments it will make a hungry child happy and keep them satisfied until dinner time. Another fun idea is to start a family food album where you and your kids keep track of the foods that provide nourishment and the ones that offer little or no nutritional value. Have your kids cut photos of food and nutrition labels making note of those foods that are considered healthy and those that are not. Your kids will learn about healthy eating and enjoy fun arts and crafts projects, too. For a quick and tasty lunch, try these easy Turkey and Apple Roll-ups.

Between the Bread Chefs Secrets to Building the Perfect Sandwich

hef Bobby Flay knows a thing or two about creating flavorful sandwich recipes made with real, simple ingredients. Now hes letting others in on his secrets as he teams up with Hellmanns and Best Foods to help America build the perfect sandwich. Everyone has an opinion about how to make the perfect sandwich, from the musthave ingredients to the highly personal sandwich architecture, said Flay. No matter the sandwich recipe, I always use Hellmanns mayonnaise to bring out the best in my sandwich, plus I have to cut the bread diagonally to make it just right. Thats my idea of a perfect sandwich. Here are some of Flays tips on how he adds his personal touch to sandwiches: Thick, crusty breads like ciabatta are great for sandwiches to help complement softer ingredients like tomatoes and cheese. Bring a crunch to your sandwich with vegetables like sliced cucumber or fennel. Not only do they add a fresh taste, they wont wilt when they come in contact with condiments. Add bright colors to the sandwich with parsley leaves, finely diced red onions, or

green, yellow and red peppers. Dont be afraid to experiment with new flavors. Jazz up your sandwich with a little cranberry relish, chopped, toasted nuts, lemon-basil or even a little thousand island coleslaw - the skys the limit. Here are some of Bobbys savory sandwich creations. Visit www.facebook.com/Hellmanns to share how you build the perfect sandwich and enter the Hellmanns Build Your Perfect Sandwich Sweepstakes for a chance to win great prizes. Turkey Cuban Serves: 2 Prep Time: 15 minutes Cook Time: 4 minutes 1/4 cup Hellmanns or Best Foods Dijonnaise Creamy Dijon Mustard 2 tablespoons leftover cranberry relish Salt and freshly ground black pepper 4 slices good quality Italian bread 8 thin slices Swiss cheese 4 thin slices cooked ham 6 slices leftover cooked turkey 8 dill pickle slices 4 tablespoons Hellmanns or Best Foods Real Mayonnaise

Yoga and Good Health

How Backbends Healed My Back

By Janice C. Molinari n 1999 at the age of 30, I had emergency surgery to remove a herniated disc from my lower back. As the years rolled by and what remained of that disc wore away I found myself in consistent pain as the bones rubbed up against each other. Id wake up in agony, rainy days brought a dull ache in my spine and bending down even for the simple task of tying my shoe was an uncomfortable experience. Over time, working around this daily pain changed the way I slept, stood and engaged in everyday activities. It created further misalignment in my hips and a curvature in my spine, creating a vicious cycle. Two years ago, on my birthday, I received a tremendous gift when I stepped into my first Anusara Yoga class and stepped onto the path that would eventually heal my back and better my quality of life. This particular style of yoga has completely changed my life and my health. Anusara Yoga, founded by John Friend, focuses on proper alignment, and over time, this has carried into my everyday posture. Ive brought greater awareness to my alignment in the way I sit, stand and walk and better posture has allowed for more space in my vertebrae and overall relief from chronic

pain. (Its also made me look more confident and a few friends have commented on the fact that I look thinnernot bad for an added bonus! Ill take it!) When I began my practice, I never could imagine that I would enjoy backbends as much as I do. What once looked painful and nearly impossible now gives me great joy and feels amazing. Through practicing proper alignment, I find myself getting safely into poses that create space in my spine, increase my bloodflow and allow for greater strength and conditioning. I now wake up every morning entirely pain-free. Ive removed the economy-sized bottle of Advil from my medicine cabinet, and that for me, is nothing short of miraculous. More importantly, when I step onto my mat for practice, the yoga has allowed me to engage with my imperfections. Its a premise called radical acceptance where you dont just acknowledge your injuries, you embrace them wholeheartedly and allow them to inform your practice. When your back is hurting or your hamstrings are shouting at you, instead of blowing through the pain like society teaches us to do, you allow it to shape your practice. You learn better how to nurture yourself and to listen to your injuries. By

listening, it will eventually lead you into proper alignment. When I come off my mat and out into the world, I find myself applying this in my everyday life as well. I take the time to set myself up right and care for my well-being. Im more acutely aware of the areas in life where I blow right by what might serve me best as I live life in the fast lane. And I change the way I engage allowing for a healthier, more nurturing approach. Yoga has changed me for the better in many ways. When I step into the studio and onto my mat, I take pride in respecting myself enough to continually make the time to practice what I enjoy, something that is healthy for me, heals me and enriches my life. Janice C. Molinari is a television producer and owner of Ananda Yoga, an Anusara based studio located in Mendham, NJ. She welcomes questions from anyone looking to improve their health and relieve pain through the practice of yoga. She can be contacted at Janice@ anandayogamendham.com.

Thomas Edison World Famous Camper & Gardener

by Michele Guttenberger uring Thomas Edisons Golden Years he became a man more in touch with nature. Edisons interests shifted from the laboratory room to campsites, greenhouses and plant potting rooms. Edisons final explorations would be with living matter. These late botanical endeavors had brought him back full circle. As a young inventor in 1885, he was on a quest to search for the perfect domestic filament for his incandescent bulb. Edison and his friend Ezra Gilliland explored bamboo groves along the Caloosahatchee River which inspired him to take winter residence in Fort Myers along this river. Decades later Thomas Edison was spending his time in both homes - the Seminole Lodge in Fort Myers FL and his home in Glenmont in West Orange NJ conducting his research on the properties of plant life. His love of nature beckoned him to the great outdoors. His camping buddies were Henry Ford, Harvey Firestone and famous naturalist John Burroughs. They named their group the Vagabonds and Burroughs noted in his 1924 diary that the group "cheerfully endure wet, cold, smoke, mosquitoes, black flies, and sleepless nights,

just to touch naked reality once more." There would be a series of legendary camping trips covered by the press journeying throughout America that started with their first Everglades camping expedition of 1914. Famous people and president s would join in as guests to their campsite such as President Warren G. Harding and President Coolidge. Thomas Edisons outdoor excursions became the grist for botanical inspiration with his ageless mind. It resulted in a push to explore domestic plant alternatives for rubber with partnerships from his camping buddies. The Edison Botanic Research Corporation was established in 1927. It was a venture that included Henry Ford, and Henry Firestone. Plants were collected in Florida and throughout the southern United States. These plants were grown under controlled conditions in Florida and also Edison's laboratories in West Orange, New Jersey. Its noted that 17,000 plants were tested for quality and quantity of natural rubber found in these plants. The common goldenrod found in the wild fields of New Jersey was the most promising plant species. Thomas Edison realized the importance

of holding patents for his inventions. This did not cease with his botanical endeavors. Edisons plant research provided a landmark in US patent history. Edisons pursuit for patents for his botanical discoveries created a significant change in American patent law. Before Edison, chemical or botanical discoveries did not entail the patent protection process. Edisons work initiated new legislation to create and protect patent work of plant and chemical scientists too. Among Edisons patents there is US Patent application No 1,740,079 for extraction of rubber from plants filed on November 30, 1927. Edison left a botanical legacy behind him. Edison died October 18, 1931. His

rubber extraction work was his final experiment. Edison was in awe with nature and in his own words Until man duplicates a blade of grass, nature can laugh at his so called scientific knowledge.
