Unlike other newspapers

“There are other publica-tions as in any market we

ny’s philosophy is to show-case and inform all readers

about the good that sur-

rounds them day to day, the

positive, and the uniqueness

of their community.

“Free community papersare different than paid

papers,” explains Nicastro.

“People want local news

and it is hard to find. The

hyper local sites are good.

There is something abouthaving a paper to hold, peo-

ple still call us for copies

when their kids are in the

paper so they can cut it outand hang it up- different

than printing it off a printer.”

“The Madison School District reallydid prepare them for their college stud-

ies,” he said.

Lisa Ellis, president of the board of 

education in Madison, described

Madison as “awesome.”

“I think Madison has a unique sense of community, commitment to its citizens,

and a beautiful downtown,” she said. “To

me the school systems have always been

outstanding and always strive to meet the

needs of the students to be better.”Ellis has had five kids go through the

Madison school district since the summer

of 1989 to June of 2013. She explained

how Madison schools 100 percent pre-

pared her children for where they are

now, because they offer such a strongfoundation in all academic areas.

As well as being the president of the

board of education, Ellis also holds the

position as Madison’s Downtown

Development Commissioner. Since 2008,

Ellis has worked to sponsor many events

held in Madison, such as the Madison

Farmers’ Market and May Day.According to Conley, May Day takes

place on the first Sat. in May where resi-

dents volunteer their time to help clean

up Madison and help to make it the place

it is today. May Day can bring out up to1,000 volunteers each year.

“That’s one of the things I like most

about being mayor of Madison,” he said.

“The way the residents have a sense of 

community and are always there to help,

and have stories on how they help otherresidents around town.”

In the previous years, Madison has

been ranked in the Top 100 in Money

Magazine in 2011 and has been ranked as

one of the safest communities in 2014.“We never take anything for granted,”

Conley explained. “We know that if we

don’t have excellent relationships with

all parts of the town then we can’t flour-

ish.”

The 31st Annual Metropolitan Builders &Contractors Association Awards Dinner was

recently held at the Sheraton Hotel in Parsippany.

The annual event, with almost 200 attendees, recognizes

professionals associated with building, design, remodel-

ing, promotion, and achievements in real estate.Morris Habitat for Humanity was honored for a third

time by the Metropolitan Builders & Contractors. Under

its Builder’s Category, Morris Habitat was selected for the

Best Affordable Mt. Laurel Home for the 13 Strickland

Place Project in Madison.The development of the Strickland Place site in

Madison was welcomed since it eliminated an unsightly

and deteriorating vacant lot, the former location of an

asphalt paving business. The lots, to build three homes,

were acquired by the borough in 2004 in a foreclosure.

The Madison Housing Authority purchased the property

from the municipality at a public land auction in Nov.2011. Then working with Morris Habitat for Humanity

and their hundreds of volunteer builders, the foundation

work began in Nov. 2012 and the family then moved in by

Thanksgiving 2014.One of three homes built on this property, 13 Strickland

is a new three-bedroom, two bathroom single-family

home sold to the Artale family-Mike, Dina and their two

children. Testing for Energy Star certification revealed

that this house will use 50 percent less energy than homes

Madison Site Recognized In Morris Habitat for Humanity Excellence Award

of comparable size. Green or reusable building materials

were used whenever feasible. The home has a 30-year

deed restriction that allows modest equity upon resale, but

mandates that they be sold at an affordable price to other

income-eligible families.Madison contributed funds from its Affordable

Housing Trust Fund (provided by developers, not taxpay-

ers) for property acquisition and clean-up to partially sat-

isfy their affordable housing obligation mandated by

COAH.

Morris Arts Receives State Arts Awards And Grants

The NJ State Council on the Arts’ 49thannual meeting held at the Wyndham

Garden Hotel in Trenton.

Of those 700, only 42 organizations and

projects received the highest evaluations

from the panel reviewing the applicationsand, for the 18th consecutive year, Morris

Arts was among that highly select company,

recognized with a Citation of Excellence

and the designation as a Major Service

Organization “for their history of excel-

lence, the breadth of their impact and their

longstanding leadership.” In addition,

Morris Arts was awarded $103,080 for its

local arts grant program and an additional$5,000 for its co-sponsored project/artist

career development workshop.

“It is a thrill and a privilege to receive this

recognition of our work from the NJ State

Council on the Arts,” said Tom Werder,executive director of Morris Arts. “These

two awards affirm the importance of our

work in the community. Morris Arts was

particularly pleased when NJSCA Executive

Director, Nick Paleologos drew attention to

Morristown's Percent for Art program as ana example of how NJ continues to be a

national leader in the arts."

“The arts industry is critical to NJ’s eco-

nomic growth and creative vitality,” said

Acting Governor Kim Guadagno, who alsoserves as secretary of state. “The grants

awarded through the State Arts Council sup-

port cultural assets in every region that help

shape NJ communities as great places to

live, visit, do business and raise a family.”

Arts Council Chair Elizabeth Mattsonstated, “Today’s actions reflect the Council’s

commitment to excellence and to ensuring

that the public funds entrusted to us are

invested wisely in the people and organiza-

tions that make this state great.”The council receives funding from the

State of NJ through the Hotel/Motel

Occupancy Fee legislation passed in 2003,

which established a dedicated revenue

source to support arts, history and tourism.

Additionally, the Arts Council receives

annual competitive grants from the National

Endowment for the Arts (NEA).

Funding decisions are made through a

transparent, merit-based and rigorous grantsprocess that assures access and equity.

Independent peer panels evaluate grant

applications to eliminate the possibility for

conflict of interest.

According to Arts Council records, statearts funding employs an estimated 17 thou-

sand workers, supports 37 thousand cultural

events and attracts 5 million visitors who

spend another $125 million. The bottom

line: every nickel of state spending on the

arts yields a dollar of local economic impactin towns and cities across the state.

Located in Morristown, Morris Arts is a

not-for-profit organization founded in 1973

dedicated to engaging and building commu-

nity through the arts. Using the arts toinspire, connect and engage, Morris Arts

serves as a resource for Morris County with

a special focus on arts programming in the

schools and in the community, arts advoca-

cy, and support of the Morris Area commu-

nity of artists and arts organizations.

M

any people begin their holidayshopping around the end of sum-mer, when retailers first begin to

roll out new clothing lines and mark downexisting items to make way for new invento-ry. Beginning holiday shopping near the endof summer or the beginning of fall mayseem a little early, but early shoppers oftenfind that starting earlier affords them moretime to find the right gifts at the right prices.Early shoppers can comparison shop with-out the specter of the fast-approaching holi-day hanging over their heads, and compari-

son shopping helps consumers feel moreconfident that they are getting the best dealspossible. Starting early with regard to holi-

day shopping also allows shoppers avoid thefinancial crunch that shoppers who waituntil the holiday season begins often feel.Spreading out spending over several monthsas opposed to the handful of weeks betweenThanksgiving and Christmas is a great wayfor shoppers to avoid buying too many giftson credit, which can make for a penny-pinching start to the new year when billscome due in early- to mid-January.

By Cheryl Conway 

Going on a trip, whether business or

pleasure, can be stressful especial-

ly if it involves driving to the air-

port, deciding where to park in crowded

lots, remembering where the car is parked,getting the luggage out of the vehicle and

then finding the means to get to the gate in

time for a flight.

A lot of these concerns can be avoided

for those drivers who choose Vista Parkingfor their off-site parking destination.

Located directly across Newark Liberty

International Airport, customers can park

their car valet style in a secure 24-hour

access lot before they even get to the busy

airport and then receive car-door to air-port-door service any time of day without

any wait.

Family operated and owned since 1988,

Vista Parking has been providing the most

convenient means of off-site parking fortravelers who use Newark Airport.

The service at Vista Parking is “much

more convenient than long-term because

it’s a door to door service,” says the com-

pany president. “Customers are immedi-

ately greeted by a van; there’s no waiting

for shuttles, not waiting every 15 minutes.

We take you on demand; you come in, we

are ready to go.” Unlike other lots, “Theyare not walking through long dark parking

lots in snow or far away.”

What used to be four or five lots at

Newark Airport has grown, but at Vista

Parking customers can park before theyget to the airport.

“We are right there,” says the owner.

“We are located right when you come off 

78; right at the end of the exit, right at exit

58B; or exit 14 off of the NJ Turnpike”

located at the Howard Johnson’s Hotel inNewark.

At Vista Parking, “award winning serv-

ice is provided;” cars are kept in a safe and

secure lot; and service is available 24

hours a day.Customers get free shuttle service to the

airport, just a three minute ride. “We drop

you off right at the terminal and pick you

up right at the terminal.” Also offered are

corporate rates, fast check out, all valetparking, frequent parker rewards club, lug-

gage assistance and security.

Vista Parking Unlocks The Key To Secure, Convenient Parking 

New Jersey Blood Services, a divi-

sion of New York Blood Center,

which supplies blood products

and services to 60 hospitals throughout

the state, is in need of volunteers at blooddrives. The blood service volunteer is an

integral member of the collection team

whose task it is assist donors with regis-

tration, escorting and canteen duties, and

to watch for post donation reactions.

Volunteers should have the ability to

relate to the public, be able to performdifferent jobs as needed and have the

willingness to follow the rules. For addi-

tional information contact, Manager of 

Community Relations, R. Jan Zepka at

732-616-8741 orrzepka@nybloodcenter.

org.

All size vehicles are welcome and thereis no minimum to days parked.

“We are very customer service friend-

ly,” he said. “Once you pull in you don’t

have to pull your bags. We clean off your

car when it snows. There’s nothing worse

than coming home from the Bahamas andthere’s two feet of snow on your car. We

make it so simple for you. It starts and fin-

ishes so nice. This is valet; the car is

brought up to you, warmed up on a cool

night.”According to the website, “At Vista

Parking, you won’t have to worry about

navigating massive parking garages or

where you parked your car. All you have todo is call the number on your claim ticket

and one of our shuttles will be dispatched

to meet you at the arrival terminal and

return you to your vehicle.”

At random parking lots, cars can be

stolen, misplaced, sometimes people for-get where they parked their car or what

row they are in. “If you have a problem

with your car when you get back, it just

brings aggravation.”

Cost to park at Vista Parking is reason-ably priced. For more information, go to

www.vistaparking.com or call 973-263-

2009 or 973-465-9400.
