By Anastasia MarcheseThe famous saying by Heraclitus that“There is nothing permanent exceptchange,” is illustrated by the rich and
varied history of the Brundage Park Play-house.
Taking a short trip back only 100 years intoRandolph history would show the buildingswhich now house the playhouse as part of asummer bungalow community. Randolph wasonce home to 45 of these communities, wherepeople could come from the city in the sum-mer to relax and have a camp experience. Theresorts often had swimming pools or lake ac-cess, and all sorts of recreational activities.
Today very little remains of the heyday ofRandolph’s resort and bungalow communi-ties. In Brundage Park, however, a bit of it canstill be seen. The Brundage Park Playhouse,which is part of one of the larger buildings, acasino, which was owned by a former bunga-low community and four bungalows, stillstand in the park and serve various functionsfor the Randolph Parks and Recreation De-partment.
By the mid 1960’s most of the resorts hadclosed down and many had already been de-stroyed by fire. The Brundage Park Playhousewebsite describes how these unwanted resortbuildings found new purpose as a haven forthe arts.
“It had its beginning in the fall of 1978when the Randolph Recreation Committee ap-proved the Randolph community theater pro-gram. In the summer of 1979, the theaterperformed its first production, the musical“Pippin.” For the following three summers,several musicals and one drama were pre-sented using the Randolph High School audi-torium.
During the fall of 1982, with the help of theKiwanis Club of Randolph, a proposal wasmade to convert several buildings in BrundagePark into a home for the theater. Since thattime, a hard working crew of volunteers andstaff has converted these buildings into a re-hearsal studio, costume shop, scene shop andthe present Playhouse.
The Playhouse continues to be a divisionof the Parks and Recreation department, andaccording to the department’s director, RussNewman, the Playhouse is designed to be self-sustaining. It funds itself through the classesand camp tuition fees as well as ticket sales.
Originally the Playhouse focused on put-ting on plays and musicals, but then expandedits scope to offer classes and workshops aswell. The winter session of classes has alreadybegun.
The summer workshops fill up quicklyhowever, and registration for the 2016 sum-mer session begins soon. More information
Brundage Park Playhouse: Rich In History And Productionsabout upcoming classes and camps is avail-able on the Brundage Park Playhouse websiteand also on the Randolph Township website.
The current Playhouse theatre productionis “A Funny Thing Happened On The Way ToThe Forum” with words and music by StevenSondheim. Performances continue throughoutFebruary and March. Next on the horizon willbe the musical “Evita.”
When asked what the future of the Play-house facilities will be, Newman said, “As a
town, we are in the midst of a parks masterplan, and there are some recommendations re-garding the Brundage Park Playhouse, whichwould need to be reviewed and approved bythe town council.”
As with any older building, routine main-tenance and upkeep are a constant need but itseems the Playhouse is a wonderful exampleof turning something no longer needed intosomething purposeful. Change may be certain,but sometimes change can be for the good.

By Cheryl ConwayJust in time for spring asnew buds start to grow,so too will the minds of
children who participate in anew program blooming intown.
The Chabad of Randolphis offering GROW, a sixweek course on charactertraits. Developed by the in-ternational organization ofChabad, the local Jewish af-filiated group plans to holdits second session startingSun., March 6, 10:30 a.m. tonoon, at the Chabad Housein Randolph.
Children in first throughthird grade are invited to signup for the program whichteaches social skills andcharacter developmentthrough different topics.
The program representsits name, GROW, with “eachchild growing in their wayand bettering themselves,”explains Chava Bekhor ofRandolph, director of pro-gramming at the Chabad of
Randolph. It “takes wisdomof Torah and integrates it”into a way in which a childcould grasp.
“Let's raise our childrento GROW with compassion,leadership, kindness, em-powerment, and morals,” theprogram is described on thewebsite. This course was de-signed by developmentalpsychologists and re-searchers who focus on rear-ing kids to GROW up withself esteem, emotional intel-legence and positive charac-ter traits.
The Randolph Chabadheld its first session ofGROW from Oct. throughDec. 2015. This coursewhich attracted ten studentsfocused on exploring and de-veloping different charactertraits through hands on activ-ities.
The second course iscalled My Pallet, and willcover what wholesome foodis all about and teach kids tomake wise choices when it
comes to food.Like doing good deeds,
“there’s different choices wemake when it comes tofood,” says Bekhor, referringto the first session which willexplain the meaning behind“eating a rainbow- type diet.Other sessions will covercategories of food; gratitudeand appreciating food;hands-on cooking and bak-ing in each session; wherefood comes from and differ-ent blessings to say with eachfood; and the final sessionwhich is a cook-off for par-ents to taste the food theirchildren have prepared forthem.
Six students have alreadysigned up for the spring ses-sion and Bekhor is optimisticthat more will sign up.
The GROW program isreally “an ideal program” forpublic school as an afterschool program, saysBekhor, who had receivedapproval to implement theprogram in the Randolph
school district but lack ofmanpower has kept the pro-gram at the Chabad Housefor now.
Bringing this programinto the schools is a greatway to “bring unaffiliated”children in to get them in-volved, says Bekhor. “It’s aperfect way in to some Jew-ish wisdom and great knowl-edge.”
This is “not just for Jew-ish kids,” Bekhor stresses, al-though it does “build onTorah wisdom.”
GROW aims at teachingchildren how to work witheach other, how to tolerateeach other and enforces pre-ventative measures againstbullying.
Bekhor is excited aboutthe next session as it teacheschildren at a young age tomake wise choices aboutfood that they eat.
“It’s going to be a totalwin,” says Bekhor. “It’sabout food; it’s a greathands-on-program. They’re
always getting up and doingsomething.
“It’s not just about choos-ing broccoli over a chocolatebar,” she says. “We’re em-powering the kids at a youngage to make great choices.”
Kids in grades firstthrough third have been tar-geted for the program be-cause that is “the best time tostart tackling the issues,”says Bekhor. “The earlier thebetter. It’s never too soon tostart educating children.They are smart at this age,maybe before society gets
them, before the TV brain-washes them. It’s a reallygood choice of age.”
Cost for the next session,My Palate, is $120. Registerby Feb. 29 by calling 973-895-3100 to register; or signup atwww.randolphjewish.com/,click on youth programs.
Topics for sessions are se-lected by the nationalChabad organization whichsupplies the curriculum andsupplies. Bekhor says thesession for next fall is a sur-prise, even to her.

By Miguel DiazOn Wed., Jan. 27, Rival High Schools Randolph andRoxbury joined forces to battle a common enemy atthe sixth Annual Rivals Takedown Hunger Food
Drive, which was hosted by Randolph High.With approximately 450 spectators in attendance, each
town’s youth wrestling team, junior varsity and varsity teamswrestled from 5 p.m. to 9 p.m. to take on hunger by collect-ing food donations for the Interfaith Food Pantry (IFP).
The night ended in favor of Roxbury who won the eventsof the evening. Although there is no award granted to thevictor of the events, the teams get to revel in the sense ofdoing what is right, Michael Suk, head wrestling coach atRandolph High said.
According to Jim Dolan, head wrestling coach at Rox-bury High, this tradition was the idea of one of the formerwrestler’s father who brought the program to light. At thetime, he did the organizing of the events and made the con-tacts necessary to make the dream a reality. After his songraduated, the tradition continued without them.
“It originated years ago to help the local food pantry bringtogether two cross town rivals to help the community,” Suksaid. “It goes beyond the competition.”
At the end of the evening, approximately 800 pounds offood was collected. Since Randolph High School was thehost of the event, it is tradition for the host to take on the re-sponsibility of packing up the donations and to send them

out to IFP in Morris County.“It’s great when the two programs and communities come
together,” Dolan said. “It was a special event and we’rehappy to have been a part of it.”
Carolyn Lake, director of Community Relations and De-velopment for IFP, said 60 percent of food donations re-ceived comes from the public. The food gets categorized inthe pantry so the families who come to receive food have
options upon arrival. Families who collect from IFP aregranted a month’s worth of food, but they have to fill out anapplication and knowledge of income and living expensesare necessary.
The organization made a big shift during the past fewyears to distribute healthier food to families in need. IFP hasa nutrition educator on staff and they also offer low cost

“Doubtless we’ll have to endure sometraffic pattern hiccups while the construc-tion work is being completed, but rest as-sured that the end product will be verypleasing,” Hirniak says.
Discussing the improvement of park andrecreation facilities and programs will alsobe underway for the upcoming year. Ac-cording to Hirniak the last time the town-ship underwent a review concerningupgrades that may be needed to improve thearea was 15 years ago.
As a member of the Parks Master PlanReview Steering Committee since in incep-tion, Hirniak is excited to share some of theconcepts currently being discussed, “amongthem being the potential for expanding ourtrail infrastructure and taking advantage ofthe 90-acre parcel of vacant land just northof our Community Center, for a family-ori-
ented park,” Hirniak states.It goes without saying that any such im-
provements will come with a cost for resi-dents and Hirniak assures, “we will beexercising fiscal prudence and disciplinewith any decision made and actions taken.”
One of the final acts on Hirniak’s agendais overseeing the completion of the propertytax revaluation process. The State Divisionof Taxation has ordered this revaluationwith the objective of ensuring both “uni-form and equitable assessments,” Hirniakexplains.
A group has been contracted to completethe physical examination of properties, afterwhich property owners will be notified withthe preliminary report, allowing for time todispute it, says Hirniak.
“As with anything that touches us finan-cially, there will be moments of tension.However, the council is both resolved andcommitted to provide our tax payers withevery available occasion to become com-fortable with where the process stands andwhere it’s going,” says Hirniak.
Randolph’s newest mayor reflects on the
New Randolph Mayor...Townships incorporation in 1805, statingthat prior to there being a mayor, “it wassteered by a committee and its chairperson”up until 1969 when the office of mayor wasfirst inaugurated.
Hirniak states, “The roster of individuals
who have previously occupied my seat hasset a high bar for me and there is no short-age of humbleness that I feel in having re-ceived the confidence of my colleagues onthe Township Council to row the laboringoar in our community.”

You may recognize the importance ofprotein as part of a healthy eatingplan, but if you’re like most people,
you may not realize that the time of day youconsume your protein matters.
According to the Institute of Medicine,10 to 35 percent of total daily caloriesshould come from protein. For a 2,000 calo-rie diet, this translates to about 50 to 175grams per day. However, most Americanstend to eat most of their protein in theevening, leaving them without the appro-priate fuel to feel energized in the morning.
Distributing your protein throughout theday, starting with a power punch at break-fast, will energize your mornings, andyou’ll feel fuller longer and be able to focuson tackling the day ahead. In addition toenergy and focus, getting 25 to 30 grams ofprotein at each meal can help support bonehealth, maintain a healthy weight and buildlean muscle.
To jumpstart your morning with protein,pair a glass of milk with your favoritebreakfast foods – like eggs – or mix milkinto your favorite smoothie or overnightoats combination. Whether in a glass, cupor bowl, or mixed into a simple recipe, milkis an ideal way to get high-quality protein,along with eight other nutrients you need,like calcium, vitamin D and potassium.
