In The SchoolsSponsored by the Suburban Chambers of Commerce Foundation

What do bouncing bubbles, elephant toothpaste and lava lamps have in common? They are all among some of the hands-on science experiments performed in the SEF-funded after school program, Supernovas, which was designed for girls by girls.

The SEF grant helped Summit high school juniors Anne Mikkelsen and Margo Reigle develop and implement an after school science program for fourth and fifth grade girls at Brayton Elementary. The twelve girls in the program meet every Tuesday after school for six weeks to perform experiments led by Anne and Margo that demonstrate different science topics. The students perform the experiments and then discuss the results and the science behind those results. In addition to performing the experiments, the girls discuss notable female scientists, including biophysicist Rosalind Franklin and astronaut Sally Ride, to name a few.

Anne and Margo have always been very interested in the sciences: Anne wants to be a

science teacher and Margo would like to be a biomedical engineer. They were inspired to teach the class when they noticed that the male-to-female ratio at an engineering college they were researching was 70:30%. “We found a study that showed that there tends to be an even number of boys and girls that are interested in science through fourth or fifth grade, and the loss of interest in females does not occur until later on. We realized that children are most impressionable at this age, and if we were able to show these girls how fascinating science is, and how much opportunity there is for them in that field, it could encourage them to take advantage of the science related opportunities that exist in their future academic endeavors,” explains Margo.

Students also share their enthusiasm; “It’s really great that they have this just for girls and it’s a lot of fun because teenagers teach it and I love science!” explains fourth grader Maddie Busam.

More than 500 guests visited Kent Place School recently for its second annual Bioethics Project Symposium. The Symposium was a culminating event, marking the end of an intensive program developed through a partnership with The Ethics Institute at Kent Place School and The Hastings Center in Garrison, NY. The event was planned and hosted by the nine Upper School student-scholars whose work was presented through a series of workshops.

The nine students were selected last spring after an extensive application process to participate in the project titled, Donor: What is the Value of the Human Body? Their work began with a four-week summer internship, where faculty from both The Ethics Institute and The Hastings Center gathered for 20 hours per week to provide the students with intensive introductions to ethics, bioethics and advanced study of the ethics of transplantation.

When the school year began, the students worked on their individual research projects through

collaboration with Hastings Center researchers and Kent Place faculty, who served as mentors. These projects were presented at the Symposium and included topics relevant to the topic of transplantation, such as facial transplants, xenotransplantation, kidney markets and qualifications for blood donors.

“The Bioethics Project

Symposium was an exciting and inspiring day that featured the work of our nine Upper School students who have now earned the title ‘Bioethics Scholar,’” stated Dr. Karen Rezach, Director of The Ethics Institute at Kent Place School. “Each scholar presented her research in a manner that informed, interested and challenged her

audience to think in new and dynamic ways about the ‘donor’ issues in our society today.”

The Ethics Institute at Kent Place School, founded in 2007, fosters the study of ethics

and ethical decision-making in primary and secondary school communities and provides ethics resources and programs to Kent

Place constituents, independent, private and public schools, and the greater community. For

The halls were alive with the sounds of music when students in ninth grade physics built their own working musical instruments! To illustrate the concepts of sound waves and frequency, Upper School science teacher Darlene Asselin instructed her students to build from scratch either a wind, string, or percussion instrument that could play eight musical notes all in one octave. The students had just five days to build their instruments in class using pipe cutters, hacksaws, drills, hammers, and glue. But the key was the instrument had to actually play.

“They learned how, by varying the frequency of wave on a string, they can produce a standing wave,” Mrs. Asselin explained. “The standing wave then vibrates the air to produce a tone with the corresponding frequency or pitch. The students then expanded on the concept in our sound unit where they were exposed to standing waves through open-ended pipes, such as xylophones, and closed-ended

pipes, such as pan flutes. They had to experimentally determine the speed of the wave in their string/pipe/wood by measuring the frequency of the note it produced, via a computer program called Vernier. They took the peak frequency for each material and calculated the length for each pipe/string/piece of wood, cut it, confirmed the frequency, and made adjustments as they progressed.”

To culminate the project, the students produced a poster which discussed their procedure, detailed all their calculations, provided a 3D Sketch-Up drawing of the instrument, a drawing of the first, third, and fifth harmonic for their instrument, listed all the notes and the octave the instrument produced, and finally gave a maximum decibel reading for the instrument.

Instruments built included PVC and copper pan flutes, copper and aluminum wind chimes, copper and wood xylophones, multiple styles of guitars, and even a banjo! “Sometimes science is messy and stuff

doesn’t work the way you think it will, and figuring out what to do with information and data is the most powerful part of learning science,” Mrs. Asselin concluded.

“In addition to learning the fundamentals of musical sounds, I learned something far more important,” said Gabriella Castellano.

“I learned that no matter how daunting the project may seem at the beginning that I can accomplish anything, as long as I work hard and stay committed.”

M ansion in May 2014 is the preeminent designer showhouse in the New Jersey-

New York area, attracting more than 25,000 visitors. Since its inception in 1974, the Mansion in May fundraiser has realized more than $8 million for worthwhile causes at Morristown Medical Center.

This year’s mansion is the grand and historic Blairsden in Peapack-Gladstone, and the funds raised will support two causes to benefit the children of our community. The Women’s Association of Morristown Medical Center (WAMMC), which presents Mansion in May, proudly announces that all proceeds from Mansion in May will benefit an expanded Pediatric Intensive Care Unit and a new Pediatric Autism and Child Development Center at Goryeb Children’s Hospital at Morristown Medical Center…or as one member put it, one big house to support two great causes!

Mansion in May will run from May 1 through May 31, with Blairsden open daily from 10am to 3pm. More than 60 renowned interior and landscape designers will work their magic and transform the house and gardens, turning the estate into a beautiful showcase.

The Women’s Association recently announced that MetLife Resources, a division of Metropolitan Life Insurance Company, will serve as a major sponsor of the event. “MetLife is delighted to once again serve as a major sponsor of Mansion in May as we continue to support the great work of Morristown Medical Center,” said Steve Haessly, Vice President of Business Development at MetLife Resources. “As part of our commitment to serving our community, we are proud to help enhance the level of care the Medical Center is able to provide its patients through our contributions.”

The WAMMC has been a driving force and supporting presence at Morristown Medical Center since its earliest days. The Association has over 600 members and raises more than $700,000 annually for the hospital. Mansion in May, held every two years, is its most profitable event.

About BlairsdenBlairsden was the magnificent country home of C.

Ledyard Blair, a New York City financier, sportsman and commodore of the New York Yacht Club. Blair was a grandson of self-made multimillionaire, philanthropist and Princeton University trustee and benefactor John Insley Blair, who made his fortune in mining and building much of

America’s railroad system.

Designed and constructed between 1897 and 1903, this 62,000 square-foot Louis XIV chateau-style mansion was the masterpiece of renowned architecture firm Carrère and Hastings and a favorite destination of New York City’s elite during the Gilded Age. Hailed as a feat of design and engineering, Blairsden is one of the finest

examples of Beaux-arts architecture in the United States, a remarkable fusion of architecture and landscape design. Carrère and Hastings also designed the New York Public Library and the Frick mansion (now museum) in New York, the original United States Senate and House office buildings in Washington, as well as commercial buildings, libraries, academic structures, churches, and theaters in America and beyond. The firm was also noted for its country and urban residences for many prominent American families, including the du Ponts, Flaglers, Harrimans, Aldriches and Sloanes.

Blairsden’s 20 acres of formal gardens and grounds were the collaborative vision of Carrère and Hastings and landscape architect James Leal Greenleaf. Trained as a civil engineer before turning to landscape design, Greenleaf got his first important landscape commission in the late 1890s working with the Olmsted Brothers firm in transforming James B. Duke’s vast acreage in Hillsborough Township into a park-like estate. Later, as a member of the National Commission of Fine Arts, Greenleaf was instrumental in the landscape designs for the Lincoln Memorial and Arlington Memorial Bridge in Washington, D.C., and the United States

military cemeteries established in Europe after World War I.

Ledyard Blair occupied Blairsden until his death in 1949. The 500-acre estate was then divided up, with the mansion sold to the Sisters of St. John the Baptist, who operated it as a retreat center. In 2002 the home returned to private ownership.

Today, visitors approach Blairsden on a mile-long private drive that winds its way through formal as well as farm elements of the original estate up to the hilltop, where the mansion and terraces afford an expansive countryside view over Ravine Lake. Approaching the home’s impressive carved limestone entrance façade, guests pass along a 300-foot-long reflecting pool sheltered by large maple trees. Entrance to the mansion is through tall, carved outer wooden doors and heavy bronze-framed inner doors. Once inside, the view is down a long cross hall with walls of carved French limestone, off of which are located the home’s principal rooms and an elegant curving limestone double stairway complemented by a large chandelier. The house features 14-foot ceilings with elaborate plaster moldings and pilasters; paneling of walnut, oak

and mahogany; more than two dozen fireplaces, each adorned with uniquely detailed mantels of wood, marble or carved limestone; and tooled leather-covered walls in the billiard room.

O nce again, Creative Wallcoverings & Interiors will be featured in

New Jersey’s premier designer showhouse, Mansion in May Designer Showhouse and Gardens, held this year at Blairsden, a Louis XIV chateau-style mansion in Far Hills.

Mansion in May is held every two years at a notable stately home, the last one (the 16th) took place at a 60-room Tudor-style mansion called Glynallyn in 2012. CW&I’s room was called “Lady Allen’s Bower” and was inspired by the strong, creative personality of the original lady of the house, Grace Allan, as well as historically informed

by the functions of a lady’s quarters, called a bower.

This year, CW&I’s interior design is called “Deco in Bloom” and is inspired by American Art Deco design.

“By taking the roots of the past and planting current objects, we created a bedroom with all the characteristics of linear glamour broken up by curved ornamental elements,” says principal designer Rachel Kapner.

Although Art Deco originated in France, it was Herbert Hoover, then Secretary of Commerce, who sent American experts in 1925 to learn and adapt the French Art Deco to American architectural expression. “Deco in Bloom” is to be a symbol of growth in a design, which has been awakened in 2014.

Kapner quotes Art Deco architecture and art historian Patricia Bayer, “Our bedroom is ‘architecture of ornament, geometry, energy, retrospection, optimism, color, texture, light and at times even symbolism’ – with shades of pink in bloom.”

This bedroom was created for a spirited couple of any age who like fine things with a dash of spice. A custom bed upholstered in a velvet stripe floats as the centerpiece in the room, and an exotic bold linen print completes the ensemble.

We’ve added a midcentury-style sofa where you can read or wait for your partner to finish getting dressed. A vintage cabinet is fitted with valet essentials to get you ready for any occasion, and a custom desk sits by the fireplace so you can check on emails or skype in the privacy or your room.

Sophisticated tailored silk panels create warmth, dress the window and keep out morning rays. Unique accessories and artwork help set the mood. The floors are

polished hardwood and an antique rug adds to the warmth. Finally, the real “master of the house” – an antique stone dog - waits by the fireplace to welcome you home.

For more than 40 years, Pereaux Interior Design has been partnering with its clients to create original designs tailored to modern lifestyle needs. This full service interior design firm owned by Barbara Peyser and Robert Oberdick believes in providing well-designed furnishings, custom upholstery, and art to enhance their customers’ homes.

“The vision for this petite and charming space was to create an intimate respite where one could enjoy a quiet moment with a book or an evening cocktail.

Accented by personal treasures and travel mementos, the room is charismatically welcoming. An upholstered bench seat with throw pillows is flanked by bookcases, offering a place to rest and put your feet up. Blue and white china highlight the built in bookcases, while the walls are decorated by gold framed artwork. Opposite this built in sits another cabinet acting as a serving or display area. The drama of the tall ceilings and window compliment the crisp lines, creating a polished contrast. The end result is sophisticated, with a curious mix of bold and traditional elements.”

My Galerie Des Glaces distinguishes Blairsden with its respect for architecture used to build this unique home. The overall design effect is in keeping with the original Beaux Arts chateau style of Blairsden. My choices for furnishings, fabrics and accessories are everything French. The architects Carrere and Hastings use of magnificent interior limestone inspired my wall treatment – Grisaille, a centuries-old technique where tones and values of grey pigments are used to depict 3-dimensional images. My vision was to paint an idyllic country landscape inspired by Blairsden’s beautiful setting. The furnishings, fabrics and accessories are classic yet modern and fresh. The walls are staged with gilded mirrors. This and other gold accents add warmth to the cool palette.

What I enjoy most about interior design and my work is working with people. I like to know and understand their styles. My clients appreciate the wealth of expertise, knowledge, training, quality control and customer service I bring to each project. The challenge is always envisioning what the client is looking for. A lot of my work is blending styles; when done correctly, the furnishings harmonize and give the room much more character.

In The CommunitySponsored by the Suburban Chambers of Commerce Foundation

The Visual Arts Center of New Jersey (VACNJ), located at 68 Elm Street in Summit, is proud to announce that Derek Mithaug has joined the staff as Executive Director. A former Executive Director of The Wharton Music Center (WMC), Mithaug oversaw the acquisition of The New Jersey Youth Symphony (NJYS), creating New Jersey’s largest independent community center for the performing arts.

“Mithaug has the experience to set a new strategic direction to help position the Art Center as a leading Contemporary Arts Center bringing art and people together in the tri-state region” explained Art Center Trustee, Helaine Winer. “Derek brings an impressive background of professional and educational experiences, combined with artistic depth that we believe will strengthen the Art Center.”

Derek received an MA in Higher Education Administration from New York’s Columbia University’s Teacher’s College as well as a BA and MA in music from The Juilliard School. Juilliard places a high value on the integration of the

arts as enriching for both students and new audiences. Regarding his new position, Derek stated, “I am thrilled to be joining the Visual Arts Center of New Jersey. The level of passion and commitment for the organization’s contemporary art exhibitions, community engagement programs, and studio art classes is exemplary. It is an honor to join a team of so many talented professionals devoted to advancing a mission that makes it possible for people of any age to create, experience, and learn about art.”

Kent Place School second grade students from Gina Ferraioli’s and Karen Libera’s class visited SAGE Eldercare in Summit as part of a sensitivity training and community event, bringing with them the theme of springtime flowers.

Marianne Kranz, SAGE Eldercare Director of Volunteers and Home Support Services, met with the students and talked with them about growing older and some of the challenges of aging. She asked for them to give their general perceptions about aging and second grade student Carson Didden of Morristown noted, “Older people can remember things from long ago better and their short-term memory is not as good.” Ms. Kranz also gave the students a variety of glasses which simulated some form of vision difficulty typically found in older adults.

Ahead of time, the teachers read “Wilfrid Gordon McDonald Partridge,” a book by Mem Fox about a young boy who tries to discover the meaning of “memory” so he

can restore that of an elderly friend. Deanna Butters, SAGE Eldercare Director of the Spend-A-Day Adult Day Health Center, reviewed the book and explained some of the challenges that occur when you start to lose your memories.

“I was impressed by the students, who came prepared with questions to ask of our members while they worked on a craft project. Asking questions is a good method of tapping into the memories of older adults. We explained to the

students that as

people age, they may need to adjust the way they learn to help them remember things. Additionally, we talked about the benefits of socialization and how it helps to bring those memories back,” noted Ms. Butters.

The Kent Place teachers and students also toured SAGE’s facilities, including a stop in the Meals On Wheels kitchen to learn about the meal delivery program. Ahead of time, the girls had made vases filled with paper flowers, which were given to MOW clients the next day.

The annual Summit College Club Book Sale is back, from March 26-30 at the American Legion Post #433, 357 Elkwood Avenue in New Providence (next to the library).

One of the country’s oldest book sales (it began in 1935), it has grown tremendously. In 2013, more than 60,000 books were offered for sale; at least as many are expected this year. The Book Sale is the Summit College Club’s major fundraiser, the proceeds from which are used to provide college scholarships to deserving young women from local high schools.

There is no admission fee and the sale times are convenient for all shoppers: Wednesday and Thursday, March 26 & 27, 10am to 9pm; Friday and Saturday, March 28 & 29, 10am to 6pm; and Sunday, March 30, 10am to 3pm.

Thousands of hard cover and paperback books in good to excellent condition will be available, the large majority of them priced at 50 cents to two dollars. For the bibliophile, collectible books will also be attractively priced. On Sunday, the final sale say, shoppers may take an entire shopping bag full of books for just $5.00.

On the display tables, sorted by categories, are books on history, biography, science fiction, romance, mystery, art, architecture, travel, psychology, sports, religion, and more, as well as children’s books. “There are so many cookbooks alone,” notes sale manager Anita Meritt, “that we set aside an entire room for them.”

Ms. Meritt said the Summit College Club would like to thank the many people and organizations who support the sale. “Book donors come first - without them, we couldn’t exist. We are grateful to Westy Self Storage, for providing the free storage space for several months prior to the sale. And club members, as well as their families and friends, move, sort, and sell the books. This is a huge endeavor done almost entirely on a volunteer basis.”

All are welcome! Questions about the sale or the Summit College Club can be answered by calling 908-464-2540 or emailing [email protected].

Meet Paul Kieltyka,New YMCA President and CEO

P

aul Kieltyka has been on the job for just a few weeks, but already he has big plans and high hopes for the Summit Area

YMCA. As both a YMCA Director and staff member, Paul has many years of experience working with other YMCA’s in New Jersey.

“I see my biggest challenge as helping the general public to understand the purpose and mission of the YMCA,” Paul began. “The organization is much more than a gym and a pool, even though that is how we are often perceived. The YMCA’s mission is to make accessible the support and opportunities that empower people and communities to learn, grow and thrive.”

Cindy Martin, Chair of the YMCA Board of Trustees, said “Paul is a highly accomplished, visionary executive with a 19-year career with the YMCA and an impressive record of success.”

The Summit Area YMCA, the second-largest in New Jersey, has three branches - Summit, Berkeley Heights and The Learning Circle in Summit; it serves seven communities. One of the goals that Paul hopes to achieve is to provide more off-site programming for those in the communities that don’t have an actual YMCA building. “We need to be aware of the people in the other communities we serve and do our best to reach out to them. In addition, I’d like to explore ways to offer additional services to the Berkeley Heights facility.”

“With 127 years of history behind us, the Summit Area YMCA has given much

to the communities we serve,” Paul explained. “Programs like LiveStrong® for cancer survivors, Child Care at both the YMCA buildings and The Learning Circle YMCA, Military Outreach and Assistance, Summer Camps both on and off-site, Youth Development programs, and Scholarships are just some of the ‘non-physical’ programs we offer. But can we do more? Of course!”

A Westfield native and now a resident of Scotch Plains, Paul understands the needs and concerns of residents of the YM’s service area. “One of the areas I’d like to explore is shared services with other non-profit organizations. If we can avoid duplicating services, we can save money and offer more programs at the same time. It’s just common sense.”

According to Paul, the YMCA is basically a community-focused non-profit organization, and he’d like to spread the word about what and who the YMCA is and what it does for the local communities. “My initial goal is to get out into the communities and meet people, one-on-one. In addition, I’d like to meet as many different local groups as I can, to get the YMCA message out there and to build relationships.” Paul continued, “If we can work out partnerships with other community organizations, the good we can do is doubled.”

“The staff and volunteers at the Summit Area YMCA are dedicated and do great work which is important to the organization. They can help make my transition into this new career that much easier, and I certainly appreciate that.” Paul added.

Cindy concluded with “Paul truly lives and breathes the Y’s mission. We look forward to working with him on the next chapter in our 127-year history, as we continue to strengthen the foundations of our communities by nurturing the well-being of our children, promoting healthy lifestyles and encouraging a sense of social responsibility.”
