Summer Concerts in Chatham, Millburn & Short Hills A great time was had by all with the amazing summer concerts series in Chatham, Millburn & Short Hills. At the parks, folks brought their lawn chairs and smiles while kids walked around eating ice cream and socializing with their friends. In Millburn downtown, we enjoyed outdoor concerts with seating and in other areas, with dinner, sunset, and great music. The Chatham summer concert series is provided by Chatham Borough Mayor and Council and generous sponsors. The Short Hills and Millburn summer concerts are sponsored by www.ExploreMillburnShortHills.org

OW DO YOU GIVE YOUR KIDS AN EDGE IN SPORTS THIS FALL?

My answer, train with a former athlete, who started his own business to do just that…help boys and girls of all ages train and improve their speed, technique, and sportsmanship! Let me introduce you to Future Stars Sports Academy, futurestarssportsacademy.net/, owned by Ralph Sandello. “Our mission is to provide speed and agility training for athletes at all levels and ages. We are committed to assisting each athlete reach their goals.”

Let’s start with the foundation, speed and agility training which they offer for kids of all ages, levels, gender and sports. From kids starting out, to high school athletes who want to play in college. “We time them and measure how

“Our mission is to provide speed and agility training for athletes at all levels and ages. We are committed to assisting each athlete reach their goals.” they are improving…a 40-yard dash, broad or vertical jump and see how they are getting faster and stronger. Kids always see the NFL doing these tests, like the ‘NFL combine drill’, they see it on TV. We give them the opportunity to do the same.”, commented Ralph.

“We test our athletes for speed and agility at the beginning, middle, and end of our program. They will see the results of our training through numerical measurements. We guarantee that our athletes will see improved speed and agility in just a short 10-week period.” Ralph said, “No matter what sport your kids play, we can improve their performance by helping them build on core skills like speed, agility, injury prevention, recovery, strength, explosiveness, mental toughness, and more. Our speed performance training sessions have a proven track record of helping athletes excel in a wide range of sports.”

Their head trainer is Darnell Evans who attended Shaw University to play football and was a 4-year starter. He was a 2x All American and a 3x All Conference Defensive Back. He has played professionally in America and overseas.

Future Stars Sports Academy is more than just sports, it is a place where kids learn life skills and how to work together with kids they just met. Ralph believes that “Sports teaches kids accountability and responsibility. To get better you must work at it. They can see their hard work pay off. Our program teaches them life skills through sports.” At our very popular football camp, kids play CONTINUED >

games and earn medals and shirts. They are put in teams that stay together for the week.

The winning team gets the medals, and the MVP gets a jersey. Every day kids have an opportunity to win something.

“We have a Future Stars Award that we give out weekly for kids who show good sportsmanship. It’s always a hard decision who is getting it; they are good kids. We also offer scholarships and are very flexible with people’s situation. I will never turn a kid down for any reason”, said Ralph. “We are getting booked for birthday parties…something I never imagined. It’s a flat fee of $400 for up to 2 hours. We take care of everything.“ In addition to summer camps and clinics, they offer afterschool programs during the week and Saturdays and Sundays throughout the school year for Agility, Basketball, Football and Lacrosse. They also offer weekly basketball clinics for boys and girls from preschool all the way to high school!

Future Stars Sports Academy is sponsored by the NY Jets. Every child gets two tickets and a parking pass to the Jets preseason games. Jets players sign helmets and gear and will be sending players to their camp to talk to them and interact with the kids.

Ralph believes that “Hard work trumps talent when talent doesn’t work hard.”

Beauty is also about functionality. Make spaces you want to be in, that allow you to connect with your family, to entertain, to play games or simply to watch tv. Often we will spend more time in one room because our other rooms are not welcoming or functional.“ It starts with a call. “What are they looking for? How will the rooms be used? Everyone has a budget. I will be honest with them on what they can have within their budget. My design process focuses on creating personalized custom spaces with the options that work for my clients. Unique things that others will not have, often one-of-kind. “, Risha shared with me.

Walden Interiors creates homes with beautiful energy so you can live your most abundant life. Offering full-service vegan interior design for residential and commercial spaces, from a basic re-design of an existing room to full-blown remodels. Walden Interiors understand that the needs and tastes of every individual are different and will work with you to create an environment that meets your demands and your budget.

So, what’s new with bathroom fixtures? Well, believe it or not, intelligent toilets have arrived … and they’re extraordinarily advanced. Kohler is offering them complete with lights and foot-warmers. There’s even a touchless toilet that raises up when it senses you and features a seat-warmer and a “cleaning seat” that sanitizes itself with a UV light. Particularly noteworthy are Kohler’s Veil and Numi models. Oh, and if you wish … you may even add one of those cleaning seats to your current toilet.

As for the latest finishes, both brushed gold and matte black are offshoots of the popular “modern farmhouse” look. For showers, the latest trend is the rain shower head, as well as a hand shower that’s perfect for kids, pets, and general cleaning. But the true, top-of-the-line products are customizable, intelligent showers. These have programmable temperature settings for each user, and also make it possible Numi Intelligent Toilet by Kohler
