Officials address ongoing redevelopment in villageBy Amanda Valentovic

Staff WriterSouth Orange Village President Sheena Collum and

Trustee Bob Zuckerman gave updates about variousredevelopment projects in town at a June 30 town hallmeeting that was livestreamed on Facebook, saying that,after the monthslong lockdown as a result of the ongoingCOVID-19 pandemic, some projects will be completedlater than anticipated.

Zuckerman said the Vose and Taylor project, a mixed-use building that will have 13,000 square feet of retailspace, office space, 110 apartments, underground park-ing and municipal parking, will be moving forward whenthe developers obtain a demolition permit.

“The buildings that are surrounding Vose and Taylorthat are part of this project are likely to be demolished bythe end of the summer,” Zuckerman said during the meet-ing. “Then they have to go to the Planning Board for all oftheir approvals. That will take some time, so we don’tanticipate construction starting on that until next year.”

According to Zuckerman, the first thing to be rebuiltwill be the municipal parking lot, so there will be as littleimpact on the surrounding local businesses on SouthOrange Avenue and Scotland Road as possible.

A demolition permit for the Ridge Tire building wasissued, and the existing building will be torn down short-ly. It will be turned into a daycare center, which Zucker-man said he believes will open sometime next year.

Both Zuckerman and Collum talked about the Fourthand Valley project during the meeting.

“I think anyone who’s walked or driven by has seenthat the old Monty Motors is no more,” Zuckerman said.“The redevelopment plan has been approved, and nowthe redevelopment agreement and the financial agree-ments have to be approved by us at the Board of

Trustees. That will happen shortly.”Collum said the village has been working with the

Academy Heights Neighborhood Association on theFourth and Valley project. Funding for improvements inthe neighborhood was included in the redevelopmentplan for the project.

“We had earmarked funds for Founders Park and any-thing pedestrian-safety related for the Valley Street cor-ridor, so we look forward to reengaging with the neigh-borhood and mapping out what those priorities will be,”Collum said. “Some will be related to having lighting inthe park and having PSE&G put in an electrical outlet forwhen special events occur.”

The Village Hall project is behind schedule because ofthe pandemic, according to Collum. Sold to LandmarkHospitality in 2018, the site is going to be turned into arestaurant and beer garden.

“Obviously, the time line is different becausenonessential construction was not permitted for a fewmonths, and there are social distancing mechanisms thatare put in place for construction sites, especially now thatwe’ve resumed that,” Collum said. “We were looking for-ward to a start date at the end of this year, but hopefullyyou can understand that that is no longer likely viable.”

In addition, Collum said that, when construction orig-inally started, the developer discovered issues with thefoundation. Additional work that wasn’t in the redevel-opment plan has been added to address this.

The site of a former Wells Fargo branch was sold, andCollum said the village will have something to present tothe community about the redevelopment plan within thenext six weeks. It will be a mixed-use development aswell, and the site will contain all of the 20 percent of areahousing that is required to be affordable housing.

“We’ve been working out these financial agreements ina way where space is earmarked for a community use,”Collum said. “As we talk about activating storefronts andstreet fronts, this is a unique space, because typically youwould want a double-loaded corridor and you would haveretail facing retail. This doesn’t have that option. It facesthe New Jersey Transit train wall. We are working withthe arts community and looking at how we can have acooperative, similar to the former Blockbuster, where wehave makers and artists able to occupy a space and be ableto lay artwork and use walls, which could be beautiful.”

A rehabilitation plan is being developed for the Irv-ington Avenue district, of which 20 percent of the

Area youth hold forum with freeholder candidatesBy Amanda Valentovic

Staff WriterThe West Orange Youth Caucus and the MAPSO Youth

Coalition joined forces to hold a July 1 question-and-answer session with some of the candidates who are run-ning for the Essex County Board of Chosen Freeholders,in advance of the primary election on July 7. The electionended after press time. Seven candidates participated inthe forum: incumbents Patricia Sebold and LeonardLuciano, and challengers Simone Jelks-Bandison, SabreBurroughs, Anthony Diaz, Adam Kraemer and JenniferLarsen. Sebold, Burroughs, Diaz and Jelks-Bandison wererunning for the four open at-large seats on the board,while Larsen, Luciano and Kraemer, who all live in WestOrange, were running for the District 4 seat. The eventwas moderated by Truman Segal and Joe Nalieth from theWOYC and Jordan Muhammad from the MAPSOYC.

A topic of much conversation during the event was thecounty budget. The candidates were asked how theywould manage the budget in the future, especially as theeffects of the COVID-19 pandemic continue to be felt.

“The vast bulk of expenditures is public employees. Iwould have a serious conversation with the publicemployees and say, ‘You’re going to pay more for healthcare, you’re going to have to postpone some wages orwe’re going to have to do layoffs,’” Kraemer said. “I’dhope that the county unions would vote to keep more onbut perhaps give a little on their benefits. It’s not pleas-ant, but it may become an economic reality.”

Diaz proposed shifting money from the public safetybudget into other areas that could help people who havebeen affected by recent job losses and lost revenue.

“I would definitely shift from policing,” he said. “Iknow that public safety is around the $150 (million)mark, and our public assistance funding is only $3 mil-lion. So right there you see we have our priorities messedup. Right now we’re getting towards 50 percent unem-ployment. People are going to need public assistancemore than ever, so I definitely think that there are expen-ditures on the budget line.”

Larsen agreed, saying that the large line items in pub-lic safety budgets aren’t always clear and should be cut.

“There are these block numbers and it doesn't saywhat it represents,” she said. “You can’t say one numberwithout saying what it represents. So there’s no way aconstituent can look and say, ‘Maybe this doesn't makesense.’ At this point, we’ve got to pivot what we’re think-ing about and really take care of people.”

Luciano said that going forward he is not supportingany capital project funding this year or next year, andhe supports the hiring freeze already instituted byCounty Executive Joseph N. DiVincenzo Jr. He alsosaid the county will not replace positions that are left

open due to retirements for the time being.Sebold, the other incumbent freeholder at the event,

defended the county budget and said that, compared toother New Jersey county budgets, Essex County is ingood shape. She does not want to increase taxes.

Burroughs agreed with Diaz and Larsen on movingmoney from public safety into other human servicesbudgets.

“When we think about the policing that goes aroundhomelessness and the narcotics division, it seems likethere is money that can be taken from that and put intoservices that would help people,” she said. “Then youneed less police and can put that money towards housingand social services. You can’t take police and sprinkle itover poverty and think that it’s going to change anything.Reallocating funds is a great way of cutting money inother places as well.”

Jelks-Bandison said the same thing, and added elimi-nating positions that are appointed.

“I would get rid of the no-show jobs, the people whoare appointed by the party bosses who don’t go to workbut still collect money off of tax dollars,” she said. “Iwould end police immunity so that they pay their own set-tlements, and they are not being paid out of our dollars.”

The candidates also talked about environmentalissues, with Jelks-Bandison saying that development ongreen spaces needs to end and more sustainable initia-tives need to be put in place.

“The one thing that we cannot have more of is land. If

we continue to develop on it, we’ll have nothing for peo-ple to walk and breathe and enjoy. It’s up to the county toput those measures in place and not vote to continue tobuild on our precious resources, which is our greenspace, especially in light of what’s going on with the cli-mate,” she said. “We need trees, we need grass, we needplaces to enjoy.”

Burroughs said that when businesses open and devel-opers want to build in the county, they should be requiredto have a sustainable component to the plan. In heranswer, Sebold said she would like to see all county vehi-cles be electric to help cut down on pollution. Lucianoproposed a water recycling project that would collect rain-water to be used to water county lawns. Diaz said hewould like wider recycling in the county and for wind andsolar power to be more widely used. Kraemer supports atrash utility where waste is turned into electricity.

“The pandemic has stopped everything, right? Andour air cleared up. All these things cleared up and peopleare on bikes and people are going to parks. This momentis a moment to say OK, there’s a chance to make a bigshift here,” Larsen said. “Essex County has done a lot foropen spaces and recycling but we have to do more. Shift-ing to a more environmentally friendly way across theboard affects the economy, jobs and quality of life. Itcan’t be looked at as an isolated issue.”

The winners of the July 7 primary election will be onthe ballot for all voters to consider, regardless of politicalaffiliation, on Election Day, Nov. 3.

Bloomfield Health Dept. begins conducting surveyThe Bloomfield Department of Health

and Human Services has released a surveyfor residents that will help the departmentmonitor its population health efforts. Thesurvey can be accessed at www.bloom-fieldtwpnj.com/1534/population-health-outcomes-survey.

A community health assessment isconducted by the health department everyfive years and can help the departmentunderstand some of the social factorsinfluencing the health of residents. Sincecommunities can go through manychanges that directly affect residents’

health during that time, the departmentconducts population health outcomes sur-veys every year to help fill in the gaps.

“The health and well-being of our resi-dents is something that we take extremelyseriously,” Mayor Michael Venezia said.“Our health department is constantlysearching for ways to improve our healthand determine the effectiveness of theircurrent programs and services. I imploreevery resident to take this quick survey, asit will provide a great deal of valuableinformation to the health departmentstaff.”

The data collected will help the depart-ment identify any health-related gaps ordisparities that need to be addressed. Thetownship will use the information to allo-cate funding for things such as mentalhealth care professionals, social workers,physical health and the general emotionalwell-being of the community. The surveyis completely anonymous.

“Last year, our department receivedabout 400 survey submissions, and it isour hope that more residents will partici-pate this year,” Health Director KarenLore said. “Every submission we receive

will help us shape the programs and serv-ices that we offer. Residents can feel safeknowing that the responses are anony-mous and none of their information willbe vulnerable.”

The data collected will be invaluable tolocal hospitals as well as the townshipHealth Department. All hospitals arerequired to do community health assess-ments that determine funding and priori-ties of focus. Therefore, these kinds of sur-veys help ensure that the community’sneeds are being met by the local healthcare system.

The West Orange Youth Caucus and the Maplewood/South Orange Youth Coalition hosted a ques-tion-and-answer forum with seven candidates for the Essex County Board of Chosen Freeholders onJuly 1.

New scientific report details climate impacts on NJNew Jersey’s Department of Environ-

mental Protection has led a comprehensiveeffort to synthesize the latest and most reli-able scientific information on the currentand predicted future impacts of climatechange on the Garden State, Gov. Phil Mur-phy and DEP Commissioner CatherineMcCabe announced June 30 as theyreleased New Jersey’s Scientific Report onClimate Change. The report is one compo-nent of the state’s comprehensive strategyto both reduce emissions of climate pollu-tants that fuel global warming and proac-tively plan and prepare for the climateimpacts that New Jersey cannot avoid.

According to the report, New Jerseyhas seen the evidence of climate change inits increasingly mild winters, moreintense rainfalls, flooding along inlandstreams and rivers, and more tidal flood-ing along the coast. These events canthreaten public health and safety, destroyproperty, undermine critical infrastruc-ture, and damage New Jersey’s economy,including the vibrant tourism industrysupported by the shore and lake commu-nities.

“As New Jerseyans know too well, theimpacts of climate change threaten ourproperty, public health, safety, and canwreak long-lasting damage to our econo-my,” Murphy said. “Almost eight yearslater, some residents of our state are stillstruggling to recover from SuperstormSandy, and there are businesses andbeloved landmarks that have neverrecovered. Just as we have seen withrespect to the COVID-19 crisis, our com-

mitment to environmental health willtoo create economic health. We knowthat now is the time for climate action,and DEP’s Scientific Report on ClimateChange will shape our planning andresponse to this coming crisis.”

“Many of the impacts of climate changeare already familiar to New Jerseyans,including increasing temperatures, risingsea levels, and more frequent and intensestorms,” McCabe said. “As our climatecontinues to change, it is urgent that NewJerseyans understand what futureimpacts are likely to occur, and when.Together, we can plan for and adapt tothose changes, helping one another tokeep our communities safe and our econ-omy strong. This report provides theinformation necessary to focus New Jer-sey’s strategic climate resilience planninginitiatives while we work to modernizeour environmental regulations, makingthem more responsive to these climaterealities.”

As New Jersey’s Scientific Report onClimate Change explains, data indicatesthat as atmospheric levels of carbon diox-ide and other greenhouse gases increase,New Jersey will experience significantdirect and secondary changes in its envi-ronment. These include increases in tem-perature, variability in precipitation, fre-quency and intensity of storms, sea-levelrise, ocean acidification and the associat-ed impacts to ecological systems, naturalresources, built environments, humanhealth and the economy.

Key findings from the report are:

• Historically unprecedented warmingis projected for the 21st century, resultingin longer and more frequent heat wavesthat impact larger geographic areas.

• Annual precipitation is expected toincrease from 7 percent to 11 percent by2050 and occur in more intense rainevents that could result in an increase inlocalized flooding.

• By 2050, there is a 50 percent chancethat sea-level rise will meet or exceed 1.4feet and a 17 percent chance it will meet orexceed 2.1 feet, resulting in increasedcoastal flooding during sunny days andstorm events, impacting infrastructure,residents and businesses. Sea level willfurther increase by 2100 by as much as 6or more feet.

• Periods between rain events may belonger, causing drought conditions morefrequently, increasing potential forreduced water supply availability, reduc-tions in agricultural capacity that lead toshortages in food production andincreased prices, and economic loss fromimpacts to livestock, and reductions inhydroelectric power production.

• Unabated CO2 emissions wouldreduce ocean pH, creating a more acidicocean that could impact important marineand estuarine life and New Jersey’s fish-ing industry.

• Increases in temperature expected asa result of climate change could intensifyair pollution as well as respiratory andcardiovascular health concerns stemmingfrom it. Such impacts are of particularconcern for already overburdened envi-

ronmental justice communities.• New Jersey’s agricultural yields could

suffer as water supplies are stressed froman expanded growing season, while somecrops may not thrive in warmer tempera-tures.

• Wildfire seasons could lengthen orbecome more intense as a result of hot,dry periods resulting from increased tem-peratures, potentially increasing the riskto New Jersey communities.

• The frequency and intensity of harm-ful algal blooms may increase, disruptingswimming and fishing in New Jersey’slakes, and posing risks to drinking waterreservoirs.

“This report will empower govern-ments, businesses and people across thestate to better understand how climatechange is impacting and will continue toimpact all aspects of life in New Jersey,”said David Rosenblatt, the state’s chiefresilience officer and assistant commis-sioner for climate and flood resilience atDEP. “The more we learn about and expe-rience the impacts of climate change inNew Jersey, the clearer our urgent needfor resilience planning becomes. My DEPteam and I are grateful for the incrediblescientists and institutions whose workunderlies this report, which will help facil-itate our Statewide Climate ResilienceStrategy and Coastal Resilience Plan to bepresented later this year.”

Red Cross praises Fontoura for donating plasmaThe American Red Cross conveyed its appreciation for and thanks to Essex

County Sheriff Armando Fontoura on July 2, after the sheriff donated convales-cent plasma in an effort to help combat COVID-19.

In a statement sent to the sheriff following his donation, the American RedCross applauded his actions.

“When you signed up to give COVID-19 convalescent plasma, you volunteeredto help save a life, Sheriff Fontoura. The American Red Cross thanks you,” theorganization wrote. “Donors like you who haven beaten the virus and joined themovement to give COVID-19 convalescent plasma during the most critical timesof the pandemic provided hope for patients and their families.”

Fontoura, who contracted the coronavirus in March and has since made a fullrecovery, expressed his joy at being able to help others in their fight.

“As we continue to navigate through this pandemic, it is important for us towork together to keep everyone healthy,” Fontoura said. “There is an urgent needfor this plasma, and as someone who knows how grueling the fight against thisvirus is, I knew it was my duty to help others in their battle against COVID-19.”

According to the American Red Cross, just one donation of plasma can help upto four people.

“I encourage every resident of Essex County who has beaten this deadly virusto donate their plasma so that they can give others that same opportunity,” Fon-toura said.

Additionally, the sheriff urged members of the Essex County community todonate blood, regardless of whether or not they have contracted the coronavirus.

“Now more than ever, the American Red Cross has an urgent need for blooddonations. Recently, there has been a 30-percent increase in demand for blood ashospitals resume normal procedures,” Fontoura said. “Volunteer donors are theonly source of blood for patients in need. Blood drives are available in and aroundthe Essex County area, and I strongly advocate for members of our community tolog on to the American Red Cross website to find where they can donate.”

Coalition to hold virtual Coffeehouse DiscussionsThe South Orange/Maplewood Com-

munity Coalition on Race will hold a Cof-feehouse Discussion in a two-part virtualformat on Thursdays, July 9 and 16, from 7to 9 p.m. via Zoom. The discussion is titled“Journey to Anti-Racism: Deepening OurCommitment.” These sessions are free andopen to the public; participants must RSVPat www.communitycoalitiononrace.org.

People across the nation are being gal-vanized by the murder of George Floyd

and the Black Lives Matter movement.The SOMA community has seen unprece-dented protests and an outpouring of sup-port for racial equity. At the same time,many people are confused, almost para-lyzed with indecision. “How can I be a bet-ter ally?” “What concrete actions can Itake to support BLM?” The CommunityCoalition on Race will provide a safespace, moderated by trained facilitators,to ask questions, discuss issues around

race and learn actionable steps to take topromote social justice.

“We are using proven psychologicalmodels to help identify people’s currentfeelings, and help them find simpleactions they are comfortable with to getour community closer to racial equality,”said Barbara Velazquez, a CCR memberwith a doctorate in clinical psychology.

“It’s scary talking about race. It makespeople uncomfortable. Believe me, we get

that,” CCR Program Director Audrey Rowesaid. “But we’ve found that when peopleaddress their discomfort in the right envi-ronment, it almost always empowers themto grow and to take action.”

A participant from the Coalition’s MayCoffeehouse Discussion shared, “I felt thepositive energy, in that the participants inmy small group — as well as the presen-ters — really believed that we could makea difference in these areas.”

Bloomfield Rec updates public on summer activitiesDue to COVID-19 the Bloomfield

Parks, Recreation and Cultural AffairsDepartment has been forced to makeadjustments to planned activities.

“Throughout the year, we try our bestto provide a multitude of fun activities forresidents of all ages,” Mayor MichaelVenezia said, noting the parks depart-ment’s planning of drive-in movie nightsand virtual fitness classes. “As a result ofCOVID-19, we have had to make adjust-ments to our planned activities in order tocomply with CDC and state guidelines andkeep everyone safe. With the state slowlybeginning to reopen, we hope that we willhave more opportunities for recreation inthe near future.”

Following guidance from the CDC and

state officials, the department hasreleased the following updated informa-tion regarding summer activities:

Summer camps and sports clinics

After taking into account all guidelinesand requirements, and after subsequentdiscussion with surrounding communi-ties, the parks department has decidedthat the traditional full-day indoor sum-mer camp program will not be possiblethis summer.

The department is fully aware that res-idents need viable options for socializa-tion, recreational play and general childsupervision. With this in mind, staff isworking diligently to create a combinationof weekly sports clinics, in-person classes

and virtual programs for the summer.While full-day child care cannot be pro-vided, it is the staff’s goal to provide asmany opportunities as they can for resi-dents.

These programs are tentatively set tobegin July 6 and run through Aug. 7. Visitwww.bloomfieldrecreation.org for themost up-to-date information.

Summer concert seriesIn light of current conditions and exec-

utive orders, the traditional SummerMusical Concert Series has been shifted toa Drive-In Movie Series. The Drive-InMovie Series began June 16 and is cur-rently scheduled to run into mid-July.Based on the overwhelmingly positiveresponse, though, the Tuesday-evening

series will likely continue through the endof July.

Preregistration is required and opensfor Bloomfield residents starting at 10a.m. each Wednesday at www.bloomfield-recreation.org. Due to social-distancingguidelines and safety precautions. therewill be a limited number of spaces avail-able for each event.

The final show will be “Spaceballs” onTuesday, July 14, at Universal TechnicalInstitute, 1515 Broad St.

WOHS alumna works for immigrant rights during crisisDuring the pandemic, West Orange

High School Class of 2015 alumna EstherDavila has been busy at work, where sheprovides COVID-19 information andensures the rights of immigrants duringthe pandemic.

Davila graduated from Boston Univer-sity in 2019 with honors and a degree inhealth science and a minor in sociology.She had attended Redwood Elementary,Edison and Liberty Middle schools, andWest Orange High School.

Both of Davila’s parents are Peruvianimmigrants, which motivated her to vol-unteer and intern with organizations thatserve immigrant and marginalized com-munities. Her passion for social justicebegan at Boston Medical Center, whereshe served as a Health Leads’ patientadvocate, connecting low-income andminority families to essential community-based resources.

“As the daughter of immigrants, I havewitnessed the hardships my parents havehad to face,” Davila said. “These experi-ences have shaped my passion for publicservice and commitment to helping oth-ers. By working closely on crucial socialjustice issues like hunger and poverty, I’velearned the ability I have to uplift the voic-es of marginalized communities. I hope totake my fellowship experiences to contin-

ue finding ways of empowering thesecommunities.”

SHU welcomes new provost, exec. vice presidentKatia Passerini, a nationally recognized knowledge

management scholar with extensive higher educationexperience, began her tenure as the new provost andexecutive vice president of Seton Hall University.Passerini assumed the provost’s position on June 5,almost a month earlier than her originally scheduledstart date of July 1.

“I am eager to start my tenure at Seton Hall Universi-ty at such an important time. Our nation is facing manylocal and global challenges,” Passerini said. “This isexactly when the strong, value-rich foundations of ourcommunity — our belief in service and sacrifice for thebetterment of society, and our strong faith and tradition— serve as the compass for our decision making as weplan for the reopening and rejoicing, and we buildtogether our way forward.”

As Seton Hall’s chief academic officer, Passerini willoversee and lead university efforts to bring the HyFlexteaching modality to classroom instruction, ensuring in-person, reduced-density learning as well as high-qualityremote instruction. She will support the faculty through-out the summer in training efforts and resources toensure they can continue to deliver educational excel-lence and Catholic ethical development in a values-cen-tered curriculum.

“I welcome Dr. Passerini to Seton Hall. She is the rightperson to lead the academy of Seton Hall as we actively

plan to welcome students back to campus in August andcommence our HyFlex learning model,” SHU PresidentJoseph Nyre said. “Her wide experience, faith and moralcompass will prove central in helping lead our university

through these unprecedented times. I am confident shewill play a major role in advancing the university’s repu-tation as a premier learning institution while redefiningwhat a Catholic higher education can achieve.”

Even before the June 5 start, Passerini and KarenBoroff, who has served as interim provost for the pastthree and a half years, collaborated during the universi-ty’s period of strategic and contingency modeling to posi-tion the university to respond well for the fall return tocampus.

“Seton Hall University is so fortunate to have such agifted leader serve as provost,” Boroff said. “In the sever-al weeks of transition, Provost Passerini has steeped her-self in learning of the essential Catholic character ofSeton Hall University and how that informs strategiesand supporting operations. She has boundless energy asshe helps us all navigate the return to campus this fall,and for implementing the vision inspired by the univer-sity’s strategic plan.”

Jonathan Farina, who chairs the faculty senate andwho chaired the search committee for provost and exec-utive vice president, added, “Faculty are really excited towork with Dr. Passerini, who combines the wide-rangingintellectual interests of a scholar and lifelong studentwith her expertise in management information systemsand innovation and with real human understanding andcreativity.”

Redevelopment moves ahead despite some delays(Continued from Page 2)

rehabilitated units will be affordablehousing units, spread across two sites.

“I would say we’re working with anarchitect and design team in a neighbor-hood that was really cognizant of the retaildistrict,” Collum said. “Tons of land in theback is going to be preserved for green

space, parking was moved undergroundand there are so many wonderful things inthis development that help us reach ourhousing strategy.”

One redevelopment plan has beenpostponed until the next round of taxcredits. On Third Street, a 100 percentaffordable-housing project was going to

be built with low-income units and unitsfor people with special needs. The build-ing would have been five stories, whichCollum said is too big for the area.

“The dwelling units per acre werepassing 80 in a zone that typically has 35to 40, and we would certainly up those,but the safety of the setbacks was a con-

cern to us,” Collum said. “We’ve had to goback to the drawing board to figure outhow to make up those additional creditsand also minimize some of the scale andsetbacks.”

The village is hoping to have a plan forthe Third Street project by the secondquarter of 2021.

At this point, the coronavirus is still activethroughout much of the world. Brazil and Russiaare currently battling an upsurge in the out-break. And the United States is hardly immune,with more than one-fourth of the 11 million casesof COVID-19 worldwide happening here. The lat-est wave of infections is sweeping through muchof the southern and western parts of our nation,particularly Florida, Texas, California and Ari-zona. The United States is now averaging morethan 50,000 new cases of coronavirus daily.

Meanwhile, New Jersey is another story com-pletely. While the Garden State has seen more

than 173,000 cases of coronavirus since March,including more than 15,000 deaths, we are farfrom our peak numbers of late April and earlyMay, when we were seeing almost 4,000 newcases daily. Now we are in the low hundreds. Butthis didn’t happen magically or by accident. Withhard work we have been able to reduce the rateof infection. This was accomplished through thewearing of face coverings, social distancing andvirtual lockdowns. We are now able to reopen

gradually, although only carefully and with aconstant eye on infection rates and locations.

This is not the time to throw caution to thewind. New Jersey is one of many states now plac-ing a 14-day waiting period on anyone travelingto our state from one of the states where the rateof infection is much greater. Only through thecareful enforcement of our current regimen ofcontainment can we move toward a semblance ofnormalcy, at least until that date somewhere inthe future when a vaccine is finally developed. Itis incumbent on everyone to keep doing thesesteps so that we can win this war.

The war against COVID-19 has so dominatedthe news in the past four months that anotherdreaded disease has fallen by the wayside. Thedisease is opioid addiction. Unfortunately,instances of opioid addiction and abuse haveskyrocketed in recent years, particularly in thelast four months. According to an article in theJuly edition of the American Journal of Managed

Care, coronavirus-related protective shelter-in-place orders have forced individuals battlingsobriety into isolation and have decreased accessto treatment and to opportunities for alternative,distracting activities. According to the AmericanMedical Association, more than 30 states havereported increases in opioid-related mortality.Social distancing is potentially concealing asurge in opioid abuse, with devastating results.

The opioid problem in the United States tracesits roots to pain management in the 1980s. Opi-oids were prescribed for short-term use for peo-ple with advanced cancer or other terminal con-ditions. A widely cited 1986 study, involving only38 people, advocated using opioids to treatchronic pain unrelated to cancer. Often forgotten,however, is the stipulation that such treatment besupervised by a doctor while in a hospital. Therate of prescriptions for addictive opioids grew

exponentially, so much so that, according to theGeorgetown Behavioral Health Institute, by 2017,an average of 91 people a day were dying fromopioid abuse in the United States; that is morethan 30,000 people annually. And this is to saynothing of the number of people who switched toheroin or some other addictive drug when theyare unable to obtain opioids.

We can’t let our battle against the coronavirusallow us to fall victim to opioid abuse. As of July2, the AMA is urging states to ensure access tocare for patients with an opioid use disorder,including protecting patients with pain and harmreduction to prevent overdose and the spread ofinfectious disease. This involves both the reduc-tion of barriers to vital pain medication duringthe COVID-19 pandemic and the removal of cer-tain restrictions. We are not advocating anincrease in the use of pain medications, such asopioids, only that the use be tempered withefforts to reduce both pain and addiction duringthese trying times.

Israel launched TSTI Camp@Home, a vir-tual summer camp experience for chil-dren in pre-K through second grade.According to Camp Director Bela Barbosa,the program, which meets weekday morn-ings via Zoom, has been embraced withenthusiasm from campers, parents andcounselors.

TSTI Camp@Home provides opportu-nities for youngsters ages 3 through 7 tomake new friends and connections as theysing, dance and learn alongside theirpeers.

The camp offers music, mindfulness,art, science and nature, and other engag-ing activities that encourage campers touse their imaginations and broaden theirhorizons from the safety of their homes.

“We know how important the summercamp experience is for children — social-ly, emotionally and educationally. Giventhe uncertainties presented by the pan-demic, it was important to us to offersomething virtual at a time when so manyparents are not comfortable sending theirchildren to traditional camp,” Barbosasaid. “The response has been great, and allour first-week campers are continuing on,with new campers joining as well.”

The program is slated to run throughmid-August. TSTI Camp@Home is

offered in flexible one-week modules,Monday through Friday, with regularly

scheduled programming and specialactivities from 9 to 11:15 a.m. Children

may enroll in “Sing-Along with Shawn”only, for 30 minutes at the start of the day,or the full morning. After the music mod-ule, campers are guided automatically totwo age-appropriate bunk activities.These include Lego Masters, AmericanSign Language, Animal Action, WonderWednesday, dance party, All About, andsnack and story time. The morning endswith a mindfulness exercise. Special after-noon pop-up events for older children andfamilies are being scheduled and will beopen to the wider community.

Barbosa noted that, so far, Lego Mas-ters and Wonder Wednesday are verypopular.

“With Lego Masters, counselors givecampers prompts about something tobuild with the blocks,” she said. “Won-der Wednesday challenges them to won-der what they can make with suggestedmaterials. The first week, they usedsticks and boxes and came up with somany great creations — a spaceship, car,umbrella, magic wand. They’re so excit-ed to show each other what they’vemade.”

Six months ago my son Scott left a pairof jeans he had just purchased at myhouse for a slight alteration.

“Of course I can take them in at thewaist,” I said. “No problem. You’ll be pic-ture perfect in no time.”

He informed me that he didn’t needthem right away, so I put them aside anddecided I would get back to them later.How much later? I didn’t know.

I was so busy with my writing, meet-ings, family, animals and having workdone at my house that I didn’t think aboutthe pants. They were tucked away in mycloset, as well as in the back of my mind.

One night I awakened abruptly frommy sleep and remembered the jeans. Iguess the thought of them finally walkedpast my sleeping brain and jogged into theawake part.

When I finally got around to taking thepants in, I called Scott and told him theywere ready to be picked up. He had for-gotten about them too. If he would havereminded me earlier, I’m sure I wouldhave fixed them sooner.

A week later, Scott came by to retrievehis pants. He tried them on to see howwell they fit. Surprise! A big surprise forhim and also for me. I guess I had taken solong to fix them that during that timeScott gained a pound or two, which

altered his waistline. That extra inch wasan inch too much. Now the pants neededto be let out because they were too tight. Ipulled the stitches out gingerly, trying notto rip the material. When Scott tried themon again, they fit snugly around his mid-section.

“Either you lose a few pounds so you canwear these jeans, or take them back andexchange them for a larger size. You haven’tworn them and they are brand new.”

Scott knew he wouldn’t be losingweight any too soon. The store managerwas very accommodating, and the jeanswere returned for a larger size.

I knew if I hadn’t procrastinated solong, my son would have been able towear the jeans … but not for long. Maybe Idid him a favor by not sewing them as fastas I could have. Hopefully, Scott will usethis as a teachable moment and not askme to sew anything for him in the future.I’m fine with that.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

Standing unitedTo the Editor:

The West Orange Chamber of Com-merce stands in solidarity with our com-munity as we try to promote healing afterthe death of George Floyd. The WestOrange Chamber of Commerce is devotedto partnering with community leaders,businesses and residents to unite ourcommunity. We stand together againstracism and violence and remain commit-ted to creating and maintaining an inclu-sive environment that embraces diversityfor all of our business owners.

West Orange Chamber of Commerce

Let’s discuss thisTo the Editor:

The following letter was sent to WestOrange Township Council PresidentMichelle Casalino:

You may recall I spoke during the pub-lic comment section of the June 23 meet-ing, expressing my opinion that the pro-posed — now effected — removal of theColumbus monument on Valley Streetrequired council approval and conse-quently a place on the agenda notifyingthe public of the proposed action. I wasthen advised that there was no informa-tion available as to the dedication of theproperty and that the mayor had not evenconsulted any council members. I certain-ly appreciated the opportunity to speak aswell as listen to the individual members’

well-considered responses. But I believemany more citizens would have voicedtheir objections had the issue been includ-ed on the agenda with public notice.

Since the meeting, I have dug a littledeeper and was able, with great help fromBrian, the West Orange reference librari-an, to find out more information about theinstallation of the monument from an oldWest Orange Chronicle article. At thetime, around Columbus Day 1992, bothCounty Executive Thomas D’Alessio andthe late Mayor Samuel Spina dedicatedthe monolith as a “permanent” monumentto remind us of Columbus’ accomplish-ments at the 500th anniversary of hislanding in the New World. Yet the state-ments made at the dedication proved tobe far less than prescient. By what author-ity does Mayor Robert Parisi effectivelyoverrule the well-respected prior mayorand “improve” public property withoutthe council’s permission? I presume —perhaps giving him too much credit —that township attorney Richard Trenkaddressed the Faulkner Act’s enablingauthority, which limits the mayor’sauthority in that regard. I also questionwhy the council did not seek its own legalopinion.

I am especially concerned about theseparation of powers and the fact that ourelected officials were ignored andbypassed in this decision. Most impor-tantly, the right to public comment after

My house was built in 1882. Two yearslater, in 1884, botanist Luther Burbank,1849-1926, began to build a better daisy.Another 17 years passed while Burbankcrossed various daisy species. Finally, in1901, he introduced a new ornamentalplant named after Mount Shasta, one ofCalifornia’s natural wonders. The Shastadaisy, Leucanthemum x superbum, wasborn, and today several healthy stands ofthem are blooming in my front garden.

I didn’t think about the daisy’s histori-cal appropriateness when I planted thefirst gallon pot 15 years ago. I am gratifiedthat, in addition to looking spectacular atthis time of year, Shastas are, historically,one of the best plants for my little homelandscape.

Another corner of my garden containsa much smaller stand of Leucanthemumvulgare, the common oxeye daisy, one ofthe parents of the Shasta. The oxeye is awinsome plant, gangly at about 18 inchestall, with narrow, dissected leaves and 1.5-inch white-petaled flowers. You can find itin fields and other out-of-the-way places,and it is lovely in its own way. Burbank,who also worked magic on potatoes,

plums and a host of other species, was agreat believer in the idea that everything,including the daisy, could be made betterthrough science. He created the “All-American” Shasta by crossing the oxeye,which is native to Europe and parts ofAsia, with other daisy species that origi-nated in England, Portugal and Japan. Allof these adventures in foreign affairs tookplace at Burbank’s home in Santa Rosa,Calif. Given the Shasta’s multinationalheritage, it is not surprising that it becamea favorite worldwide.

Shastas are classic “pass-along” plantsbecause they are so easy to grow. Liketheir field daisy ancestors, they are notfussy about soil and thrive in just aboutany sunny spot. Once established, they donot need a lot of supplemental water. Theplants multiply rapidly into healthyclumps, but if the clumps grow too large,dividing is easy. Simply dig up the clump,divide the roots with a sharp spade or agarden utility knife and replant the divi-

sions. Doing this every few years will keepthe daisies healthy. When bloom timerolls around in late June or early July,pick the flowers or deadhead the plants topromote rebloom.

Over the years hybridizers have takenup Burbank’s “better daisy” crusade andcreated their own spins on the original.The number of new cultivars increasesevery year, with flashy new specimensreplacing older ones on garden center pal-lets. One, “Chuck’s Delight,” is so specialthat it can be obtained only by visitingLuther Burbank’s Gold Ridge Experimen-tal Farm in Sebastopol, Calif. Most othersare more readily available.

If you can’t get to Sebastopol, considergoing to the local nursery and picking upLeucanthemum x superbum “Becky,”which has big, bright single flowers withcrisp white petals and quarter-size yellowcenters. It grows to be about 3 feet tall onsturdy stems that resist flopping. “Becky”

is such a stellar performer that the Peren-nial Plant Association named it their“Perennial Plant of the Year” way back in2003.

Other, slightly shorter single-floweredvarieties include “Alaska,” which reachesabout 24 inches in height.

For smaller spaces or containers, trylittle “Tinkerbelle,” a dwarf variety thatgrows only 8 inches tall and has singleflowers. The slightly larger “Shortstop,” at12 inches high, is another small-spaceoption. For full-size flowers on a relative-ly compact plant, try “Whoops-a-Daisy,”which grows 16 inches tall.

For those who believe that nothingexceeds like excess, there are several dou-ble-flowered varieties of L. x superbum,not to mention more than a few that arebeyond double, with flowerheads thatlook like the aftermath of a small explo-sion. The aptly named “Adorable” is shortat 10 to 14 inches tall, with a double row ofpetals and a winsome corona of small yel-low petaloids ringing the center. “BelgianLace,” rising only 10 to 12 inches, featuresdouble rows of narrow, rather shaggy-

Daisies tell a worldwidestory in gardens

For some hybridizers, no combinationof frills, quills, crests or triple petal rows isenough — color is what matters. “RealSunbeam” substitutes sunny yellow petalsfor the white of more common varieties.Scrumptious “Banana Cream” blooms in asofter, buttery shade that ages to ivory.The first time I saw it I fell in love andmoved it directly into my garden. I founda somewhat older variety, “Sunshine,” at awonderful nursery in central New Yorkstate and installed it in the beach gardenat my family’s summer cottage. For a yel-low variety that looks more like a chrysan-themum, try “Lemon Puff,” with two-toned yellow blooms.

There are some people who would say

“a daisy is a daisy” and wonder why any-one would be interested in the manyhybrid Leucanthemums. There are otherswho try to acquire every single cultivar.Most of the rest of us fall somewhere inbetween those two extremes. If you wantto expand your Shasta repertoire, checkwith your local nursery, which may wellcarry varieties from either Monrovia orProven Winners.

All ANSWERS APPEAR IN OUR CLASSIFIED SECTION

AQUARIUS, Jan. 21 to Feb. 18 You may want to give of yourself as much as you can but takecare you don’t give too much. Physically, mentally, and emo-tionally you have only so much in your tank and if that goes youwon’t be of any use to anyone. Be kind to yourself.

PISCES, Feb. 19 to March 20 You must tell loved ones that what they have been doing maynot be in their best interests. What you say is important, buthow you say it will make sure they actually listen to you.

ARIES, March 21 to April 20 We all do things we regret, and you may feel remorseful for howyour actions have impacted on people you love, but don’t beatyourself up about it. Just make sure that the next time you actyou show a little more tenderness than usual.

TAURUS, April 21 to May 21There is no such thing as something for nothing, and the soon-er you get your head around that fact the better. If someonecomes to you this week with a proposal that “cannot fail” youshould reject it out of hand. Not only can it fail, but it will.

GEMINI, May 22 to June 21Do what you can to help someone in need but make sureyou keep a safe emotional distance between you. If you allowyourself to get personally involved you could find yourselfpersonally liable when things don’t work out as planned.

CANCER, June 22 to July 22 What happens over the next few days may encourage you to betoo generous. Don’t go to the opposite extreme and turn yourheart to stone but you do have to protect your own interests.

LEO, July 23 to Aug. 23 You don’t have to ask other people if it is okay to go off byyourself for a while. If you need to be alone with your thoughtsthen slip away without being seen and turn off your phone untilyou are ready to return. Solitude can be healing so embrace it.

VIRGO, Aug. 24 to Sept. 22 If you have an idea you think employers and other powerfulpeople may be interested in then by all means speak up. Beforeyou do though try practising your delivery in front of a mirror.

LIBRA, Sept. 23 to Oct. 23 You can accomplish almost anything career-wise now, but onlyif you have complete faith in your own abilities. If you don’thave that degree of faith then try faking it. If you pretend hardenough you may find that it soon becomes a fact in itself.

SCORPIO, Oct. 24 to Nov. 22 Scorpios are endowed with incredible willpower, but you canalso suffer from serious doubts and what happens today couldtempt you to believe that it’s all about to go pear-shaped. Don’tworry, it isn’t. Act as if you cannot fail, and you won’t.

SAGITTARIUS, Nov. 23 to Dec. 21 If someone you love makes a silly mistake today don’t make abig deal of it. Chances are they will be so embarrassed by it thatthey vow never to make such an error again. They don’t needyou, or anyone else, to point out their failings.

CAPRICORN, Dec. 22 to Jan. 20 There is no point taking anything too seriously ths week. It mayseem as if the weight of the world is on your shoulders, but is itreal or is it an illusion? Lighten up, it’s life. Go have some fun!

World’s first film studio in WO spawned global industryToday an oddly shaped small black

building sits near the entrance of theThomas Edison National Historical Parkin West Orange. It is not glamorous andlikely doesn’t call much attention to itself.The building stands as a tribute to Edi-son’s genius and the worldwide filmindustry of today that he helped create.

When Thomas Edison first arrived inWest Orange in 1887 he was already prac-tically world famous, known as “The Wiz-ard of Menlo Park” for inventing thephonograph in 1877 and perfecting theelectric light in 1879. But in his formerMain Street complex in West Orange, Edi-son and his colleagues gave birth to theworld’s first motion picture studio. Thetar-paper–covered building, first built in1893, is the size of a small bungalow. Itwas specially designed on a track so itcould be rotated, with the roof open, tokeep it aligned with the sun. The filmspeed was so slow that only natural sun-light would work. The inside walls of thestudio were painted black, helping elimi-nate reflections and creating needed con-trast between actors and the background.The studio was dubbed the Black Maria —pronounced Mah-rye-ah — by those whoworked there. Since it was a small anduncomfortable place to work, it remindedmany of Black Marias, the cramped policevans, also known as paddy wagons. Edi-son’s own name for it was The Doghouse.

By the late 1880s, the concept of mov-ing images as entertainment was nolonger new and not uniquely Edison’s.The films produced at the Black Mariawere recorded specifically for use in akinetoscope, an Edison invention. To viewthe film, the user would insert a coin intothe tall device and then look into it from astanding position; this was commonlyreferred to as a peep show. The first kine-toscope parlor opened in New York Cityon April 14, 1894. For 25 cents, a cus-tomer could view the films in all fivemachines, which were neatly placed in arow. Kinetoscope parlors soon openedaround the country. The kinetoscope par-

lors featuring Edison’s remarkable inven-tion often attracted crowds and long linesto see films that had an average length ofonly 40 seconds.

Production of a constant flow of newfilm subjects was needed at the WestOrange studio to keep the new inventionpopular. Many vaudeville performers,dancers and magicians became the firstentertainers to be filmed at the BlackMaria. Subjects also included acts fromBuffalo Bill’s Wild West Show, includingAnnie Oakley with a troop of NativeAmerican dancers. The films, intended toappeal to mostly male audiences, also fea-tured boxing and cockfights and at timeseven scantily clad women. During 1894,more than 75 motion pictures of all typeswere made at the Black Maria studio.

By 1895 sales of kinetoscopes began toslow down, mostly due to competing tech-nology that developed and used projectedmotion pictures as we know today. Tocompensate for the declining popularityof the kinetoscope, in April 1895 Edisondeveloped the kinetophone. It was Edi-son’s attempt to combine a moving pic-ture with sound from a phonograph andmake talking pictures a reality. However,the device could not achieve exact syn-chronization and ultimately failed to finda market. Edison was slow to realize filmsprojected for large audiences could gener-ate more profits because fewer machineswere needed. By January 1901, Edisonhad focused his efforts toward work onconventional motion picture projection.He opened a new studio in the Bronx,bringing an end to the Black Maria studioera in West Orange.

The original Black Maria studio wasconstructed in 1893 for a total cost of$637.67 and was torn down sometimearound 1903. In May 1940 a temporaryreproduction was built near the site tocoincide with the release of the film “Edi-

son the Man,” starring Spencer Tracy andRita Johnson. The reconstruction’s lifewas short-lived, as it was dismantled fol-lowing the film’s debut. In 1954 the BlackMaria reproduction now standing at theThomas Edison National Historical Parkwas built near the original location at acost of $25,000. It was designed for the

Edison Foundation by Bernard Grad, anarchitect from Newark. The original BlackMaria studio had undergone variouschanges in appearance; the current recon-struction is representative of one thoseappearances and is a fully functionalexample of how it once looked andworked.

Though the early commercial successof the kinetoscope films proved to be fleet-ing, West Orange will forever hold historicand significant relevance as the birthplaceof today’s worldwide film industry.
