TAA Update -June
BASEBALL/SOFTBALL DAY A BIG HIT
The Tewksbury Little League celebrated the 7^th annual Baseball/Softball day at the Oldwick Fields on Saturday May 16^th. Mother Nature was kind to the little leaguers as the forecasted showers stayed away all day, allowing over 300 players to enjoy the festivities and celebrate the season. The children were treated to free food, and entertainment by Joe the DJ.

Adding to the event’s success this year, not to mention the fun, was a dunk tank. The dunk tank allowed the children and their parents to show their appreciation for many of the coaches and Little League Board members. Tewksbury Athletic Association (TAA) President Mark Wood and Little League Board members Brett Lewis, Ed D'Armiento, Bill Berman, Rob Edmund, and Mike Kurzrock all took their turn in the tank to raise money for the league. Despite looking a little cold the men seemed to enjoy their time in the tank and helped raise over $500 for the league.

Baseball/Softball Day was highlighted by the traditional Tewksbury Mets vs. Yankees rivalry baseball game. This year the Mets upset the Yankees by an 8-2 score with some solid pitching and key hitting. Prior to the game the crowd was treated to a wonderful rendition of the National Anthem, sung by Mara Grigg, who played “Belle” in the 2009 OTS school production of “Beauty and the Beast”.

Tewksbury Mayor Lou DiMare threw out the ceremonial first pitch and participated in the ribbon cutting ceremony for the new Oldwick snack shack and equipment shed. “The Shack” was donated by the TAA to the town in support of the local athletic programs.

"Ribbon of Life"
D&R Greenway Land Trust’s new exhibition, “Ribbon of Life”: the D&R Canal at 175, will be on display now through August 14^th, in D&R Greenway’s Marie L. Matthews galleries, at One Preservation Place, in Princeton. An opening reception, free and open to the public, will be held Friday, June 19^th, 5:30–7:30PM. To make your reservation, phone 609-924-4646. All art is for sale, 35% of the proceeds will support D&R Greenway’s preservation mission.

D&R Greenway is mounting this exhibition in honor of its 20^th Birthday. This is a remarkable collection of one-of-a-kind archival images. Vintage postcard images of the D&R Canal and Towpath are the heart of this show, accompanied by contemporary views by regional artists, chosen by the 175^th-Year Celebration Committee. The exhibition also includes seasonal canal photographs by James C. Amon, who served as Director of the D&R Canal Commission for 30 years, before becoming D&R Greenway’s Director of Stewardship.

As well as a means of transport, the D&R Canal was a destination in itself. Sightseers travelled from New Brunswick to Bordentown on ‘Sunday outings,’ on this waterway that carried more tonnage yearly than the Erie Canal.

Once the Canal closed in the 1930’s, there was no longer an inland waterway route through our state. The canal has been turned into a state park of remarkable beauty and history, and today supplies drinking water to over one million central New Jersey residents.

This exhibition is funded, in part, by the Mercer County Cultural & Heritage Commission through funding from the NJ Historical Commission, and created in partnership with the D&R Canal Commission and The Delaware River Mill Society.

The Folk Brothers are David Massengill and Jack Hardy, two of the pivotal characters of the heyday of the Greenwich Village Folk scene. Individually, they have written songs recorded by Joan Baez, Dave Van Ronk, The Roches, and Lucy Kaplansky, and they have mentored hundreds of songwriters who came up through that seminal time and place. Together, they support each other with harmonies and instrumental backup. They spin tales of the people and music of that golden era, even as they continue to write and add to its legacy, and pay musical homage to the roots from which that legacy sprang.

Opening act, Ember, the duo of Rebecca Sullivan and Emily Williams, hails from Wales in the UK. They feature outstanding harmony singing and accompaniment on guitar, fiddle, and clarinet. They sing mostly their own songs with occasional detours into the realm of traditional songs and tunes.

Tewksbury X-Mas Tree Farm is River Friendly
Sean Murray of Tewksbury Township truly cares about his Christmas tree farm and its impact on the environment. “As most people are these days, we are very conscious of our environment and the effect we have on it,” Murray said. His actions back his words. Murray uses symbiotic fungi called mychorrizae to help the trees forage for nutrients in the soil so he doesn’t have to use chemical fertilizer that could pollute the streams.

Murray’s methods recently earned his 5-acre farm on Philhower Rd in Lebanon Township River-Friendly Farm Certification from the North Jersey Resource Conservation and Development Council (RC&D), based in Clinton. He bought the farm two years ago from its founder, Dennis Kephardt, a long-time member of the Township Environmental Commission, who began planting Christmas trees in the late 1970s.

Murray recently received his certification plaque during the winter meeting of the New Jersey Christmas Tree Growers Association (NJCTGA). The NJCTGA “is a State organization of growers, professionals and allied industry leaders dedicated to the advancement of the latest information in the production, promotion and marketing of Christmas trees and related products.”

Murray also received a “River-Friendly Farm” sign to post at his farm to let his customers know that he is doing his part to protect New Jersey’s streams. “We hope to spread awareness of some simple things that everyone can do to preserve the quality of our natural resources,” Murray remarked.

The North Jersey RC&D’s voluntary River-Friendly Farm program is designed to improve water quality and recognize farmers who are being good stewards of the land by protecting our water resources. The River-Friendly designation is given to those who manage their farms to protect and enhance the water resources that provide drinking water to millions of people.

River-Friendly farms do all of the following: reduce soil erosion so sediment does not enter waterways; reduce fertilizer to the minimum amounts needed to prevent leaching into water; provide essential vegetative habitat along water bodies to help protect aquatic organisms; and apply pesticides and other control methods only as appropriate.

Free technical assistance is provided through the River-Friendly Farm certification process for producers to implement best management practices that protect water quality and enhance efficiencies on-farm.

The River-Friendly Farm program recognizes producers throughout the Raritan Basin which includes parts of Morris, Hunterdon, Somerset, Middlesex, Union, Mercer, and Monmouth counties. North Jersey RC&D is seeking applicants and is available to speak with any interested group or individual about the program. Interested individuals may contact Abigail Jones, at 908-735-0733 ext.102. Applications and further information can be found on the River-Friendly website.

The North Jersey RC&D serves and is sponsored by the Freeholders and Soil Conservation Districts of Hunterdon, Morris, Somerset, Sussex, Warren and Union Counties. Through partnerships with municipal, state and federal agencies, as well as many private entities, the Council develops and manages programs and projects that promote the improvement and wise use of the region’s human and natural resources.

Equestrian Facility to Open
Arnold & Susan Witte are pleased to announce the opening of 7 Springs Farm, a new equestrian facility in Pittstown, New Jersey.

The facility’s focus is on sponsoring horsemanship clinics by some of best horsemen in the country; lined up for the 2009 season are Buck Brannaman, Bryan Neubert, Joe Wolter, Buster McLaury, and Greg Eliel. These horsemen are known for looking at things from the horse’s point of view, a concept brought to the clinic format by Tom Dorrance, Bill Dorrance, and Ray Hunt. They focus on safety, awareness, and developing a trusting relationship between horse and rider. Equestrians of all disciplines and skill levels are welcome.

Clinics for the 2009 season are planned approximately once a month. With a 90' x 200' indoor arena and 34 12' x 12' stalls, the brand new facility offers comfortable space for clinic participants and their horses. Clinic spectators are always welcome for a daily fee of $25.

Resident trainer Lara DeLorenzo’s diverse background includes colt starting, dressage, roping, trail riding, jumping, and cattle work. She offers lessons and training, working with horse and rider to progress from whatever level they are at. Lara believes that without a solid foundation, everything else is temporary. Her lessons focus on safety and horsemanship from the ground up.

For more information on training and lessons, see Lara’s website at www.LDHorses.com. For more about 7 Springs Farm and horsemanship clinics, contact manager Dick McCoy at 7 Springs Farm, 14 Perryville Road, Pittstown, NJ 08867, 908-238-9587.

ECMA Opens New Location
The Eastern Conservatory of Music and Arts (ECMA), a non-profit center for music lessons, performances, coached chamber ensembles, master classes, and symposiums from well-qualified professionals, is opening a branch in Hunterdon Central Regional High School (HCRHS).

The Conservatory was approached by the High School’s music department to provide supplemental private instruction and coached chamber instruction on site.

William Magalio, HCRHS Orchestra director said, “We believe that a combination of performance ensemble classes and private music instruction is the best way for students to achieve excellence in music.  We are very excited to be collaborating with the Eastern Conservatory of Music and Arts in an effort to offer convenient individualized instruction to the students of Hunterdon County.”

ECMA Director Casey Bork is also delighted with the collaboration. “Our mission is to assist in providing access to quality instruction and to support school band, orchestra, and chorus membership," he said. "Students in these organization tend to be the best and the brightest. These students are busy, high achieving, and emotionally rewarded by the cathartic experience ensemble music provides. Science shows the benefit of music education (higher SAT score etc.) and by supporting it we are supporting and improving society.”

The Eastern Conservatory of Music and Arts main location continues to be at the Lamington Presbyterian Church education building in Bedminster. Lessons are given at both sites. Registration is ongoing. Contact director Casey Bork for further information and scheduling, at 908 439-9979, or visit the ECMA web site.
