LEADING THE WAY
June: Locals Leading The Way
June is here—and with it comes longer days, warmer weather, and our June Locals Leading The Way issue, where we spotlight stories of passion, innovation, and the people paving their own bold paths. While this month traditionally leans into a celebration of men—Father’s Day, outdoor adventures, and adrenaline-filled escapes—we’re thrilled to feature a cover story that reminds us that trailblazing has no age or gender limits.
Meet the fearless founder of Chapter One, Mendham’s newest literary gem. Owned by a dynamic young woman who’s rewriting what it means to be a local entrepreneur, Chapter One isn’t just a bookstore—it’s a cultural hub where book lovers gather, pages turn into conversations, and celebrity authors like SNL’s Kenan Thompson pop in for meet-and-greets. Her story is a reminder that leading the way can mean creating space for imagination, inspiration, and a really great story.
Of course, we haven’t forgotten our Father’s Day readers—dads, father figures, or the men in our lives who deserve a little extra love this month. Whether it’s gifting the perfect page-turner (yes, books make fantastic Father’s Day gifts!) or putting the pedal to the metal at Monticello Motor Club, we’ve rounded up exciting ideas that spark joy, fuel passion, and maybe even get a little mud on the tires.
You’ll also meet Samir Patel, the local tech visionary behind Blue Code Networks, proving that digital dreams can be built right here at home. His story, along with others in this issue, exemplifies what it means to forge your own lane— whether it’s on a racetrack, or between the shelves of a small-town bookstore.
So here’s to June. To leading the way. To storytellers, speed demons, tech titans, and every dad who ever taught us how to ride a bike, tell a joke, or love a good book.
Happy Father’s Day—and happy reading.

High-performance
racing experiences puts you in the driver’s seat
For Father’s Day, think outside the box and onto the track. Monticello Motor Club, located in Monticello, NY, offers adrenaline-pumping driving experiences on its premier automotive playground. MMC has 4.1 miles of driving track and a “Full Course” track which is 3.6 miles long with 18 turns and 450 feet of elevation changes.
“People love it,” says Creative Director Christopher Szczypala. “It’s so unlike anything they’ve ever done. A lot of people haven’t had the experience of driving on track, and many like high-performance vehicles.”
Taste of The Track and Private Instruction are two great packages they offer, and no experience is necessary. “Taste of the Track is a full-day experience and is a perfect glimpse of what it’s like to be a member of MMC because you get to try all different parts of the club,” says Christopher. “You’re on the track for quite a bit of the day with a private instructor, and then you’ll do some go-karting. You’ll also get a tour and have lunch.”
Private Instruction is a full-day event where participants get into their own vehicle or one of MMC’s high-performance track vehicles. They’ll learn how to handle the car’s full potential and improve their advanced driving techniques with substantial seat and track time. No prior track experience is necessary. Advanced Private Instruction is available as well with a fully equipped Porsche Cayman racecar.
Monticello Motor Club has a variety of vehicles for use, such as the BMW Competition M2, M3, and M5, Porsche 911, Performance Mini Coopers, Aston Martin Vantages and off-road cross carts. The Club also allows people to use their own high-performance vehicles.
The on-site clubhouse serves breakfast and lunch, and also has a make-your-own sundae bar. “We have a kitchen staff who work magic and our chef is Culinary Institute of America trained,” says Christopher. “We have a full locker room with showers and a members’ garage for storage of private vehicles. We also have concierge services so if our guests need help with where to go or what to do, we can assist with that. Most of our clients are very busy people, and when they’re here, they can just let go of everything. All they’re thinking about is the car and what their next move is going to be.”
MMC is typically open from mid-April through mid-November, and shuts down for the winter except for members taking part in snow driving and off-road activities. The Club is popular with people of all ages, and members include a good amount of women and teens.
“We’re like a new-age golf club; we have our own driving range, which is the track.”

Tech Talk with Samir
A Personal Connection to the Digital World
In a world that moves at the speed of light—and where nearly every part of our lives depends on technology—there’s comfort in knowing someone has your digital back. That’s where Samir, founder of Blue Code, and his team step in.
WHAT EXACTLY IS A CONCIERGE IT COMPANY?
I launched Blue Code in 2009 to bring the same level of trust, responsiveness, and personal attention found in high-end concierge services to the world of technology support. After years in the industry, I kept seeing the same problem—when something went wrong, people often had no idea who to call. We fill that gap.
Clients rely on us to manage everything from computers and networks to security, backups, email, and day-to-day tech frustrations. Whether supporting a busy household or a growing business, our mission is simple: make technology work the way it should— securely and without stress.
IN TODAY’S WORLD OF SMART HOMES, HYBRID WORK, AND CYBERSECURITY RISKS, HOW IMPORTANT IS IT TO PARTNER WITH AN IT EXPERT?
Technology touches every part of our lives—from how we work and connect to how we protect personal and business data. As systems become more connected and

threats more sophisticated, having an IT partner is no longer a luxury—it is essential.
Our clients value the relationship because it brings consistency, trust, and accountability to something that is often unpredictable. Whether a business needs immediate help accessing critical systems or a family is dealing with sluggish Wi-Fi, disconnected devices, or kids unable to get online consistently, they know we are ready to help.
WHAT IS THE FIRST STEP FOR SOMEONE INTERESTED IN WORKING WITH YOU?
The first step is actually the easiest—just reach out. We offer a free consultation to assess your needs and provide clear next steps. No pressure, no sales pitch—just a real conversation with a team that wants to help. Most clients tell us the same thing: “I wish I had called you sooner.”

A STORY OF
Success
SNL Kenan Thompson and Sophia Maoli, oner of Chapter One Book Store
DISCOVER BOOKS AND SO MUCH MORE IN A MODERN AND FRIENDLY ATMOSPHERE
ARTICLE BY SUE BALDANI PHOTOGRAPHY BY CHRIS JORDA PHOTOGRAPHY
When reading a book, it all starts with the first chapter. For Sophia Maoli, it’s the story of her dream. In December of 2023, she opened the doors to Chapter One, an independent bookstore in her hometown of Mendham.
“Everyone is so happy to have a bookstore here again,” she says. “I had a customer come in and tell me how she used to shop at the previous bookstore as a kid, and now she’s coming to this bookstore and bringing her own child.”
While the store is cozy, it’s also very modern and bright. “My big thing was that I wanted it to feel new and clean, so there are a lot of whites happening in the store. The walls are light and the shelves are white because I wanted the books to really pop off the shelves.”
Instead of aisles of books, which can feel cramped, the shelves border the walls, so it’s easy to find the perfect book. The kids’ area has comfortable seating with small chairs and a rug, and a bunch of stuffed animals for kids to cuddle. Many want to take them home, which is an option because they’re all for sale.
Along with books from in-demand authors like Kristen Hannah and James Patterson, she has a nice array of local authors. “When I choose which books to order, I try to feed off what the community is asking for when they come in,” she says. She also has subscriptions to websites with the best sellers and what is predicted to be a hot book in the upcoming months. “My booksellers also stay very up to date with popular books.”
Sophia enjoys bringing in really cool authors like New Jersey native Harlan Coben and Jesse Watters from FOX News. “Recently, we had [actor] Keenan Thompson come in to sign his memoir, When I Was Your Age. He was so nice and was great with everyone who came in.” The store also has a shelf full of previously signed books for purchase, which is a big hit.
People can also join three book clubs. One is the Romantasy Book Club, which she runs, and it’s all romance and fantasy books. Another is called the Anything Goes Book Club, which encompasses all genres. The Silent Book Club, where people can bring in their book of choice and then read silently for an hour, allows for companionship
while pursuing what is usually a solitary hobby. At the end of each book club session, participants get 10% off their purchases that night.
Customers love taking part in these as well as other events. In May, she had a cartoonist visit and teach people how to draw, and plans are in the works for more fun events this summer.
In addition to great books and events, Sophia offers an incredible array of curated merchandise. “There’s a local company called Summer Love Designs, and we sell a lot of their jewelry. We also carry Little Words Project®, puzzles, journals, bookmarks, notebooks, and kids’ toys.” Many of these have a book theme, such as stickers that amusingly state, “What happens in book club stays in book club.” There are also some hair accessories and greeting cards, so it’s a one-stop shop for gifts. Of course, holiday-themed items are always in demand, including Christmas ornaments and menorah candles, Valentine’s Day items, Mother’s and Father’s Day gifts, teacher gifts, and graduation items.
Chapter One has a welcoming atmosphere with employees who are knowledgeable, avid readers capable of offering helpful recommendations for customers and their family
and friends. Speaking of family, she’s fortunate to have a lot of help with the business. Her father, Tom Maoli, her mother, Stephanie Caravela, and her stepfather, Rick Pina, actively support her endeavor.
Sophia, who is also an actress, singer, and dancer, hopes to one day open many more chapters, with a Chapter Two, Chapter Three, and so on. Since she loves baking, she also aspires to one day include a bakery on site.
“My goal in the future is to be the biggest independent bookstore in the country and be the place that people want to come to because they visited or saw it on TikTok or Instagram,” she says.
Sophia wants to show people why buying books at a local, independent bookstore is much better than ordering books online or going to one of those large commercial bookstores. So, come visit Chapter One, get a personalized experience, and live your best story while you browse, converse with staff, and meet others. You may even get to pet her little dog Lulu, who sometimes visits.

SO YOU WANT TO BE A COWBOY
DISCOVER THE WHIMSY OF THE WEST AT PAWS UP MONTANA
Favorably referred to as the “Last Best Place” and the “Treasure State,” Montana has captured the hearts of cinematic cowboys like Taylor Sheridan and Harrison Ford and inspired the television series, “Yellowstone” and its prequels, “1883” and “1923.”
Though fictional, they’ve reminded America of its deeply-rooted spirit for adventure and the simple yet rugged way of life that we all crave. Whether its the backdrop of jagged, snowcapped peaks or the endless golden pastures that are peppered with livestock, this Rocky Mountain soil is a breeding ground for dreamers and doers, and the people who call it home are no strangers to the ritual of ranch life. So, you want to be a cowboy? Slipping on some leather and having a little hide in your hat are good ways to start, but visiting a resort that brings the best of this life to the forefront, while also embracing modern luxury, is the experience of a lifetime. Paws Up Montana sprawls the distance of 37,000 private acres of historic estate-land, which houses a working ranch and 10 miles of Blackfoot river. Personalization is key—a divine selection of cuisine for the foodies, awe-inspiring activities for the adrenaline seekers, and world-class lodging that tickles every fancy from stargazing glamping, to timber-style family dwellings, to the uniquely designed green “o hauses” that invite the outside world in.

WHAT TO DO
To change your attitude, you need a change in altitude. Gain some speed or turn up the adrenaline level with ATV tours, electric biking, mountain biking, go-karts, paintball, rappelling down Lookout Rock or whitewater rafting down the Blackfoot River. Indulge in the western art of living with archery, fly-fishing, hiking or sporting clays. For those who want to immerse themselves in the language of horses, there are horse-related adventures such as lessons, grooming or feeding, horse-whispering workshops or organized trails rides. Riders can also enjoy cattle drives that bring you back to yesteryear—driving a herd of cattle across the famed landscape— and bear witness to mustang gentling, where the Equestrian Manager communicates with a wild horse through body language and tone of voice. Skyline Aerial Adventure Park is another notable warm-weather activity, taking guests on two high-ropes courses.
DRINK & DINE
Montana’s best kept secret? Our hideaway chefs, making waves from the Montana wilderness. Chef Brandon Cunningham, Executive Chef at the Green O, is a James Beard Award finalist whose creations at the Social Haus are highly curated through an 8-course tasting menu. Other highly trained and talented chefs like Chef Brett Edlund, Chef Ben Scott, Executive Pastry Chef Krystle Swenson, and Sunny Jin, the General Manager of Food and Beverage, are part of the intricate patchwork of the culinary experience at Pomp, Trough, Shed, Camp and the notable Chuck Wagon—a summertime treat where guests can ride a hay wagon along the banks of the Blackfoot River for an Old West-inspired chuck wagon dinner. The menu ranges from all-natural chicken and Tomahawk ribeye to fresh vegetables grilled over an open flame campfire.

WHERE TO STAY
Luxury Homes are categorized into preference-based properties that boast the thrill of wilderness living. For larger families and multigenerational groups, consider the Wilderness Estates. At 3,250-square-feet, these estates sleep up to eight guests and feature three large suites with private baths. The Big Timber Homes are available in one-to-three bedroom options and come ornamented with fire places and private decks. The Meadow Homes are 1,100-square-foot single-story homes that sleep up to four guests, situated amid a pastoral and treed setting. For an extra nod of perfection, choose one of the luxury homes that comes equipped with a private tent— ideal for anyone traveling with children (or adults who beckon back their childhood!).
For a more primitive experience, Glamping Homes offer the right amount of canvas to create a close-to-nature experience. Available mid-May through mid-October, choose from river settings to creeksides, bluffs or cliffs. Each tent is adorned with something unique—a copper tub, a picturesque view of Lewis and Clark’s famous Lookout Rock and Western-chic furniture throughout. Zip down the windows to allow for the cool nightly breeze, yet enjoy the modern convenience of electricity. Each campsite has a dining pavilion. And don’t miss the s’mores boards around the communal fire pit, offered by your own s’moresologist—yes, you read that right, and yea, it’s a thing.
Lastly, but certainly not least, are the state-ofthe-art accommodations of the Green O hauses. This portion of the property is completely curated for those 21 years of age and older. It’s a resort within a resort, a hidden pearl in an oyster of experience. The Tree Haus is elevated 23 feet in the air and offers unparalleled forest views. The Green Haus includes a skylight above the bed for an unmatched view of pluck-em-from-the-sky stars. The Round Haus has curved, floor-to-ceiling windows that offer 180-degree panoramic views. Both the Green and Round Hauses are dog friendly, too, so Fido can rest in the lap of luxury. The Light Haus is illuminated by skylights and unique glass design.

Jon Lamkin, Senior Vice President at Rate. com, is a trusted voice in today’s competitive housing market. Whether you’re a first-time buyer or seasoned investor, Jon’s insight can turn your offer into a winning one. Here’s what he recommends now.
YOUR TEAM HAS FUNDED OVER $1.4 BILLION IN LOANS IN THE LAST 5 YEARS. WHAT STRATEGIES HAVE YOU IMPLEMENTED TO ACHIEVE THIS LEVEL OF SUCCESS, AND HOW DO THEY BENEFIT YOUR CLIENTS?
“Our strategy to help buyers win offers is very simple. First, we help clients determine their maximize buying power at the very beginning of the process. We then collect all the financial data so we can get their loan into our Express Underwriting Program- Call our Power Bid Approval. This will show the listing agent and sellers that their offer is the equivalent of a cash offer, and the buyer will have no issues getting their loan closed. Once clients receive
their accepted offer, we will provide them multiple loan options that will fit both their short term and long terms. “
YOU’VE BEEN HIGHLIGHTED FOR YOUR ATTENTION TO DETAIL AND ABILITY TO CLOSE TRANSACTIONS SWIFTLY, SOMETIMES IN AS LITTLE AS NINE DAYS. HOW DOES THIS EFFICIENCY IMPACT THE OVERALL HOME BUYING EXPERIENCE FOR YOUR CLIENTS?
“Now more than ever its important to pay attention to ever detail. Sellers are looking to close much more quickly than in years past. 5 Years ago, most contracts would have 45-60 Day closing window. Due to our expansion in technology and our Power Bid Approval- we are seeing clients much quicker- contracts are now being done with 15-30 Day closing. The fastest we have been able to close a client is 9 days which is the legal amount of time a lender can close that client getting a mortgage.”
