andolph Public Library has hosted events for kidsand families this summer, many that brought count-

less laughter to those who attended.Specifically, one event on Thurs., July 30, brought out

parents and their kids imagination, with the WaltensAcrobatic and Performing Dog Show.

This was Randolph Public Library’s first time hosting anacrobatic and performing dog show, according to LoreReinhart, event coordinator at Randolph Public Library.

“We sent a flyer around, and hoped for a great turn out,”Reinhart said. “The event was open for any Randolph resi-dents to attend, and enjoy some acrobatics, juggling, anddog tricks.”

As Reinhart hoped, there was a great turn out with about40 plus residences from the area that attended. Residents allbrought either a chair or a blanket for this outdoor eventright by the gazebo.

With music in the background, the show began. WaltensAcrobatic and Performing Dog Show included Willy Waltenand “Tinkerbell” (Carol Frazier). Tinkerbell admitted duringthe show that Walten was about to celebrate his 80 birthday,and he happily replied, “that you’re never too old for tricks.”

According to their website, the two have been workingtogether on the Waltens Acrobatic show for the past 36years. The two have been hand balancing, foot balancing,and juggling together all around the world in places likeSpain and Venezuela.

At this performance, the two engaged the audience bygiving volunteers the chance to participate in some of theaction too. Two boys were selected to try and throw up a softfoam ball in the air and have the ball land in a funnel thatwas tied around their waist. The trick was that the funnel

was behind their back, making a bit morechallenging than it seemed.

In the end neither one was victorious, butthey were both good sports. Tinkerbell com-mended the boys, and reminded them“things aren’t always so easy as they seem!”

As the night went on, Walten andTinkerbell performed magic tricks for theaudience, some which included makingscarves be tied up into one knot. Anotherwhere Tinkerbell blew up a balloon andonce it popped a bird by the name of Whiteyappeared. The audience stood amazed, andapplauded their mysterious yet outstandingtricks.

As the acrobatics and tricks came to anend, Walten and Tinkerbell brought out their

four special companions: Toby, Miss Lizzy,Einstein, and Sweetie- four small, yet talent-ed, dogs with a lot of spunk and tricks uptheir fur. Each performed their own specialtricks for the crowd and won over the heartsof many.

As their performance came to a close the

audience applauded all of them for theirgreat work and for making them walk awaywith smiles on their faces. One girl by thename of Nicole Izaguirre said, “I lovedevery minute of it!”

T

eams For Kids Foundation is a non-

profit organization that enables chil-

dren from homeless and low income

families within New Jersey to participate inrecreational sports programs.

The foundation is the brain child of Abby

Bauer, a senior at The Pingry School in

Basking Ridge and a resident of Long

Valley.

“I started the organization last summer,

which is when we received our 501 (c)(3)nonprofit status,” Bauer said.

The foundation is still growing and mold-

ing to the needs of the children residing in

shelters and temporary housing facilities in

Morristown, but the success stories areflooding in of kids who are now provided

with the opportunity to participate with their

peers in recreational sports programs.

For Bauer, the start of the long yet

rewarding process of running a nonprofit

organization began while she was volunteer-ing at Homeless Solutions, a homeless shel-

ter and low income housing program in

Morristown.

“I’ve been kind of running a children's

program there since I was 12-years-old,”

Bauer said. “Two summers ago I was run-

ning my children’s program at the shelter

and we were making s’mores and playingkickball with the kids at the shelter and this

10-year-old boy named Giovanni

approached me with his baseball glove and

asked if we could have a catch and so I said

sure. We threw the ball back and forth a fewtimes and I realized that he had a really great

arm and he could toss really well so I asked

him if he played on a Little League team and

he said he wished he could.”

Later in the day, Giovanni’s momexplained to Bauer that families at the shel-

ter couldn't afford to put their children onrecreational sports teams because they need-

ed to save money for rent and living expens-

es when they left the shelter.“That kind of just resonated with me and

it really bothered me that he didn't have the

same opportunity to play sports that I had

and so many other children have, so I really

wanted to help kids like Giovanni to have

this opportunity which is why I started the

Local Teen Helps Kids Join Sports Teams, Asks Businesses To Contribute

Teams For Kids Foundation,” Bauer said.Bauer and the foundation distributed

their first grant of $2,500 to Homeless

Solutions in March. Teams For Kids thengives the money to Homeless Solutions and

they allocate it to the needs of the families

living in the shelter.

“We have had some success stories so

far,” Bauer said. “I know for a fact that cur-rently there are four kids signed up to play

sports who have utilized the funds for equip-ment and for team registration and things

like that, so the funds are constantly being

used.”Included in the updates that Bauer

received from Homeless Solutions were sto-

ries of a boy who was able to join a track

team and placed fifth at a meet, a boy who is

Theater Dance Center Celebrates 25Years! Owners Millene Michel andMary Ellen Volz started out working

for another studio, when they realized theyhad the same goals and passions: dance,

children and a need to inspire others.Starting out in 1991 at the Knights of Columbus hall in Flanders, with a few class-es and 35 students, today TDC is an awardwinning, community serving, studio withmore than 500 students and thousands of alumni who have gone on to pursue dance asa profession or thru college.

“It’s quite rewarding to know that yourformer students continue to dance manyyears after they graduate,” says Michel.“Our dream was to inspire dance and watchit blossom, not just in the individual student,

but the TDC community through their shar-ing of what we have inspired.”TDC alumni and their accomplishments

are great, with professional dancers in NYC,LA, and around the world; dancers whopursed college dance and won scholarshipsto programs; and dancers who have pursueddance with some of the most elite competi-tive college dance teams like Rutgers,Towson, and Syracuse, Alabama.

Most importantly, TDC alumni hasproven to be a group of successful adultswith confidence that shows in all they do.

Volz says, “We are extremely happy tocelebrate this anniversary with some of ournew students that are second generationdancers. It’s wonderful to see our formerstudents as parents and get to work withtheir little ones too.”

TDC has an amazing faculty with teach-ers who are truly visionaries in the field. Theprogram focuses on training well roundeddancers and people. Through the examplesthe faculty sets, the students thrive with self-confidence and grace. TDC specializes in anin house developed syllabus for preschool-ers.

The competitive dance team is first rateand national champions. The tap program isone that attracts dancers from around thecountry and offers a pre professional oppor-

tunity. It also has a non-competitive per-formance company that serves the localcommunity and promotes giving back andvolunteerism.

Celebrations will be taking place duringthe fall open house, Fri., Aug. 28, 4 p.m. to8 p.m. and Sat., Aug. 29, 10 a.m. to 2 p.m.,at the center. Come join the celebration withfree gifts and prizes, balloons and give-aways.

who already has his equipment ready and;

according to Bauer, is clearly excited. And a

girl in middle school who was able to join

her school’s track team because she was able

to purchase the required running shoes.While the foundation is still in its early

stages, there are a lot of fundraisers happen-

ing right now, as well as planned initiatives

to happen in the near future.

Currently, there are two initiatives thatthe foundation is running. The first one,

Teaming up for Kids, uses donated money to

created ‘Team Up Kits.’ Inside of the kits is

fundraising material and through a partner-

ship with the Morristown RecreationalDepartment, they are being distributed to

children on these teams who can raise

money and spread awareness.

The other initiative is called the Teams

For Kids 2015 Corporate Challenge. Bauerand the foundations are asking New Jersey

businesses and corporations to get involved

with the Teams For Kids Foundation. The

process is simple: an employee registers the

business online and picks a date before

Labor Day where all employees dress down

or wear their favorite sports jersey and

donate five dollars to Teams For Kids. The

money can be sent via mail to Teams For

Kids Foundation, Inc. at PO Box 33,

Schooleys Mountain, NJ, 07870-0033, or

submitted online. Participants can also takea group photo of their "corporate team" and

send it to Teams For Kids Foundation so that

they can share it on their Facebook page,

website, and blog.

Two future fundraising events include anin-store event in September at Alex and Ani

in Princeton where from 6 p.m. to 8 p.m., 15

percent of all proceeds are being donated to

the foundation; and an event in October

where the foundation is partnering withMorris United Soccer. There will be a Teams

For Kids day with various activities for kids

and many different ways to raise money for

children in the community.

According to Bauer, it’s going to be hard

to find a balance between her senior year of high school and being the backbone of this

foundation but she’s willing to give it her all.

“It’s easy in the summer because I have a

lot of free time so it’s kind of my priority, but

I know that during the school year I’m going

continued from page 6

Local Teen Helps Kids...to have to find a way to balance it,” Bauer

said. “Even if it’s just kind of allocating an

hour a night to take care of emails or dona-tions or things that need to get done for the

foundation. But I’m probably going to prior-

itize school.”

For Bauer, this foundation has turned out

to be more than she thought it would.

“It’s definitely much bigger than I imag-

ined,” Bauer said. “It’s a huge part of my life

and I’m just really proud of everythingwe’ve accomplished.”

Local Student Receives National Honor For Superior Academic Achievement


10/28


By Elsie Walker

Terry Cook, of Appleton Productions in Long Valley,loves the 1950s, enough that he has found a way toshare it with others for one magic time each year.

Cook is the host of Lead East, known as the World’sBiggest ‘50s party. The event boasts 1,800 classic cars, plusthe movies, the dancing and music of the 1950’s. This yearthe event will be held from Sept. 2 – 6 at the ParsippanyHilton. Admission fees and event schedule information canbe founded at www.leadeast.net.

In starting Lead East 33 years ago, Cook revolutionizedcar shows east of the Mississippi by making his into a festi-val. He explained that he has always loved custom cars. Upuntil Lead East, car shows were events where people juststood around and looked at cars. That was it. Cook wantedto have something different. The first Lead East was held atthe Flemington Fairgrounds. Cook utilized a sound systemto add music to the event. Taking advantage of nearby ven-ues, participants could go to a drive-in where car shops on

skates came to take your order and Cook rented out a drive-in theater and showed the1950s classic, “Rebel Without ACause.”

What about the title, Lead East (pronounced as “lead”meaning the metal)? Cook explained that refers to what was“used to fill in the seams in custom cars” before fillers likeBondo.

Later, as the event grew and changed locations, it addedanother revolutionary element: the cars on display areparked on concrete, not dirt. Traditionally, car shows hadthe cars parked in fields or dirt lots. Cook’s venue appealsto those who take care with their classic cars.

Another thing that makes Lead East different than other

car events is that the fun never stops.“Most car events end around 5 p.m., but [that’s when]

we’re just getting started,” said Cook.Since the early days, times have changed and the event

has evolved, but one thing stays the same. It is a family-friendly event that shares the fun of a more innocent age.

“Every year of Lead East there’s been drive-in movies,”said Cook. At the Hilton, a drive-in theater area is rigged inthe parking where this year people can see the classic“Return of the Creature (from the Black Lagoon),” AlfredHitchcock’s “Dial M for Murder” and “Bwana Devil.” Allare in 3D and Cook notes that during “Bwana Devil” itseems like spears are being thrown at the audience.

Cook shared that a joyful moment for him at a past LeadEast was when a father shared that it was not only the firsttime his young son had seen a drive-in movie, but one in 3D.

Of course, Lead East would not exist without cars. Thefirst Lead East had about 660; this year 1,800 cars from 1972and earlier are expected. They come from at least 20 differ-

ent states including Texas, Rhoda Island, and Florida. Someparticipants will stake out grass islands in the lot, decorateand lay claim to them with names such as Tiki Island, RhodeIsland Island, etc.

The sounds of the ‘50s will fill the air with 21 bands, DJ’sand Doo Wop groups appearing during the event. This yearthose sounds will include “Rave On,” a group from Unionthat does the music of Buddy Holly, Roy Orbison and oth-ers. There will also be the a-cappella group, TheWhiptones, made up of college students from Whippany.New this year, for an extra fee, spectators can attend a FridayNight Dance party with a five piece band, The Greyhoundsfrom Poughkeepsie, teamed with the well known DJ, the

Golden Gup. The Whiptones will also perform then as well.Although it is focused on the ‘50s, Lead East doesn’t for-

get the present and its needs. There will be a 50/50 to ben-efit Make-A-Wish. Last year’s winner went home with

almost $20,000. There will be a collection for Toys for Tots.The Military Transport Association will be set up among theoutside vendors in front of the Hilton. All toy donations col-lected will be delivered to the U.S. Marine Reserve Unit atPicatinny Arsenal to be distributed during the holiday seasonto needy children in the North Jersey area. Finally, as is tra-dition, Cook will “pass the hat” when he welcomes peopleto the different Lead East concerts. What is collected goes tothe Salvation Army.

Cook said that when people have asked him about whathe does, he reflects and says ”One weekend a year I makeabout 10,000 old people really happy.” Actually, Lead Eastis an event that makes all ages smile.

The Whiptones, an accapella group from Whippany, will

be performing at this year's Lead East.

SKYLIGHTS and SPECIALTY SHAPES

By Jane Primerano

The Chester Community Presbyterian Church Peach

Festival hasn’t been around as long as the church, but

it has been a borough event for more than 50 years.

“It started out as a smorgasbord,” Pastor Chris Scrivens

said as he helped out at the “Grandma’s Attic” tent on Sat.,Aug. 1.

It soon morphed into a peach festival and now is not only

the church’s largest fundraiser, it is also the largest single-

day event in Chester, a place known for attracting visitors

with a farmers’ market, spring and fall craft fairs and manyother events.

The congregation dates from 1752 and the church build-

ing from 1851.

“These maples are contemporary with the church,”

Scrivens said, pointing to the huge trees in front of the

church.

“It brings between 5,000 and 6,000 people to Chester,”Scrivens said. They start lining up at 6:30 a.m. for the 10

a.m. event. “Some people were playing cards,” he said. He

estimated 1,200 people in line early in the morning.

“We talk to the people in line, we socialize,” the pastorsaid. He said he spoke to people from Vermont, from South

Jersey and a number from New York. Some are flea market

people looking for bargains they can resell.

Nancy Morris, working the White Elephant table, said

she saw the line snaking through the parking lot by 7:30 a.m.

“One group of girls drives in every year from Long

Island,” Jary Vibilian, who was working with Morris, said.

“And Brooklyn people every year,” Morris added.

Besides “Grandma’s Attic” and the White Elephant tent,there is a books and media section, a toy area, a sporting

goods section and a place for lamps and electronics.In the center of it all is the live auction. Professional auc-

tioneer Wayne Hill was rattling along under a big tent.

“He starts at 11 a.m. and doesn’t take a break until every-thing is gone,” Scrivens said.

The pastor said an auctioneer hired by the church failed

to show up one year and Hill’s father, Bunker, stepped in.

“His name is Bunker?” Scrivens partner at Grandma’s

Attic asked. “His name is Bunker Hill?”

“The father’s is, yes,” Scrivens answered and went onwith his story. The elder Hill served as auctioneer until he

retired and his son took over.

Scrivens’ flock is 330 members and it seemed most of them were helping out.

“We have teams of volunteers,” he explained. Some sortthrough the donations. Teams to sort toys, sporting goods,

electronics, household goods and other items get to work

after a six-week donation period.

under the table?”

“One year we had a gas mask from World

War I,” Vibilian said, adding this year the

oddest donation was a pair of machines likethe bucking bulls in a country western bar.

“We don’t ask,” she said.

There are also teams of bakers who vol-

unteer, Scrivens said. Some of the baking is

done at the church and some at theHacklebarney Cider Mill Farm. “Everything

is made by us.”The baking table was staffed by Myra

Wolgamuth, Robin Chu and Martha Smith.

They listed the peach kugen, peach pound

cake, peach rugula and peach turnovers as

the big sellers. The peach pies were gone by

1 p.m.

Boy Scouts from Troop 139, which issponsored by the church, assisted with park-

ing cars in the church lot and the old

Williamson School building across the

street.

Proceeds from the festival all go tochurch missions, including Meals on

anon, boy and girl scouts and other groups

that use the church facilities at no charge.

pantry, community soup kitchen of

Shelter To Launch App To Save Puppies...

Feed A Puppy was created byBreckman, award-winning television and

film writer and radio personality who was

executive producer of the Emmy-winning

television series Monk. His other credits

include writing for Saturday Night Live,David Letterman and numerous screen-

plays, including Sgt. Bilko (with SteveMartin) and Rat Race. He currently hosts

WFMU's popular comedy show and pod-

cast Seven Second Delay. Breckman is

currently producing Probable Cause, a newmystery series set to air on ABC next sum-

mer

In 2014, Breckman founded Uncle

Andy Toys and began developing a line of

innovative and slightly-subversive board

games and apps. Feed A Puppy was devel-

oped by Shore Digital Solutions, who also

designed Uncle Andy's first app, RiggedTrivia.

The idea for Feed A Puppy came to

Breckman when he realized something

was missing from other live- streaming

animal sites: the ability to interact with

them."I wanted to create an app with a real

emotional component," Breckman said.

There's nothing else like it out there."

Being a strong supporter of animal res-cue, Andy wanted his app to benefit home-

less animals. He reached out to Eleventh

Hour Rescue, and the rest is app history!

and the Metropolitan Opera have performed at Waterloo.

“Music truly brings people together,” said Mark

Clifford, musician coordinator for the Highlands

Festival. “We believe we have curated a fantastic week-end of performers that will offer a terrific blend of an

eclectic array of musical genres that will please people

of all ages.”

house at least three giraffes and other animalspecies from Africa that are compatible withgiraffes. In accordance with the Turtle BackZoo Master Plan, the giraffe exhibit is situ-ated in the southern section of the zoo whichwill include other exhibits featuring animalsfrom the African continent.

Two types of giraffe subspecies – Masaiand Reticulated – will be relocated to TurtleBack Zoo when the exhibit is completed:one is in Kansas City and the other is inSpringfield, MI. Masai Giraffes are typical-ly found in Kenya, Tanzania and Rwanda,are the largest subspecies of giraffes and arethe tallest land mammals. They have large,distinctive, dark brown, vine-leaf shaped,

jagged spots interspersed by creamy-brown

irregular lines and are noticeably darker incolor that other species of giraffes.Reticulated giraffes are the most commonlyseen giraffes in captivity. They are found inEthiopia, Kenya and Somalia. They areslightly shorter and have the “classic”giraffe pattern of large red-brown blotcheswith a white web like pattern dividing them.Giraffe typically grow to be about 16 to 18feet tall.

The Giraffe Conservation Foundation

reports that there are less than 80,000giraffes in Africa (down from 140,000 in1999) and that giraffes are becoming anendangered species. The Masai giraffes atTurtle Back Zoo will be included in a breed-

ing program sponsored by the Association of Zoos and Aquariums to help bolster thespecies numbers.

The habitat created for the giraffes willresemble three acres of the AfricanSavannah and will have multiple viewingareas for the public, including areas wherethe public can view the giraffes feeding. Aclimate-controlled barn approximately 200-by-100-feet in size to house the giraffes dur-ing the winter will be attached to the exhib-it. To make the exhibit visitor-friendly dur-ing the winter months, closed circuit cam-

eras will be installed in the barn so thegiraffes can be viewed on a video screen inthe Zoo Café.

The exhibit is being funded through theEssex County Capital Budget and with agrant from the Essex County Recreation andOpen Space Trust Fund. It is scheduled toopen in the spring of 2016.

Turtle Back Zoo is located in EssexCounty’s South Mountain Reservation andwas opened to the public in 1963.
