Overlook in the Top 100! verlook Medical Center was the only hospital in the Garden State to be named to the 2018 list of ‘100 Great Community Hospitals’ recently released by the Becker’s Healthcare Hospital Review.
“As Overlook has steadily enhanced its clinical expertise and is now recognized in the region for its high-quality care, we’ve remained committed to our role as the caregiver for our communities, working every day both inside and outside the hospital to make them healthier,” said Alan Lieber, president of Overlook Medical Center. The 504-bed hospital is a leading provider of unique specialty services in the area, including neuroscience, digestive diseases such as interventional gastroenterology, and specialized centers such as the Institute for Rheumatology and Autoimmune Diseases and Pediatric Eating Disorders Center. The main campus is home to the Atlantic Neuroscience Institute, recognized as the regional leader in neuroscience care and the regional hub for the New Jersey stroke network. Throughout the last decade, Overlook has launched several initiatives to reach beyond the Summit campus to work directly within its communities.
Park Line Foundation is Awarded 200K Matching Grant from Reeves Foundation
S
ummit Park Line Foundation has received a 200K matching grant from the Reeves Foundation to support its Park Line project, a 1.2 mile linear pedestrian park being created on the abandoned Rahway Valley Railroad line. With grants from the Summit Area Public Foundation, Overlook Foundation, Overlook Medical Center and through a number of generous donations from Summit residents, the Park Line Foundation exceeded the $200,000 goal raising more than $225,000 of the $3.2 million dollars needed to complete the project within a 12-month period, and qualifying for the matching grant. In early 2016, the City of Summit acquired from the State of New Jersey the rights to build the park accessible for pedestrian and bicyclists. Once
completed, Park Line will extend from the edge of the downtown Summit at Overlook Medical Center, along a 1.2 mile path through eastern Summit, ending at Briant Park on the Springfield border. The Summit Park Line Foundation and concept was created by Dr. Robert Rubino, former Summit councilman who realized the potential for a park similar to the Highline Park in Manhattan could be initiated in Summit, NJ along the abandoned rail line. “There has been an outstanding expression of support for the Park Line concept from the Summit community,” explains Rubino. “As the momentum for funding of the project continues to build, the Park Line Foundation is extremely thankful for the circle of friends that are helping to carry this important project forward.”

Joining Erika is Danielle Valliere, Administrative VP; Kelsey Espinosa, Treasurer; Andrea Caserta, Community VP; Stephanie Wilson, Membership VP; Tara Gulla & Tracey Tango, Sustainer VPs; Stephanie Giblin, Thrift Shop Committee Chair; and Dana Felmet, PR Chair (not pictured: Julie LoPalo, Membership Development Chair).
have an exciting year planned for our members and the community.

Police Participated in Statewide Crackdown on Impaired Driving
L
ocal police departments are participating in Drive Sober or Get Pulled Over, a statewide crackdown on impaired driving. The goal of the New Jersey state program is to encourage law enforcement agencies to raise public awareness about the dangers of alcoholimpaired driving through a combination of highly visible enforcement backed up by targeted media activities.
Research shows that highvisibility enforcement can reduce alcohol-related crash fatalities by as much as 20 percent. Police have been conducting roving patrols to stop drivers who appear to be operating vehicles while impaired.
Grace Receives Grant For Weekly Community Refrigerator
T
he Junior League of Summit is proud to announce that it received a $20,000 grant from the George W. Bauer Family Foundation to support its signature community outreach project, GRACE’s Refrigerator. These funds will be used to purchase fresh, healthy foods for local families that would not otherwise be able to purchase for themselves. GRACE, which stands for Giving and Receiving Assistance for Our Community’s Essentials was founded in 2016 by member and Summit local, Amanda Parrish Block. The program was launched following research into the issue of food insecurity and the revelation that one in six Summit public school students is lacking access to fresh, nutritious foods. We believe that creating better
communities starts with food and everyone should have the opportunity to shop for and enjoy healthy foods needed to fuel their minds and bodies. The GRACE program is making an enormous impact in our community and the momentum is strong. We rely on the efforts of volunteers and donations to continue providing these essentials. GRACE’s Refrigerator is open weekly and offers nutrientdense produce, dairy, and prepared food which is sourced from the Summit Farmers Market, local businesses, and the Community FoodBank of New Jersey. On average, 72 families depend on the community refrigerator each week. Since its inception, it has served 117,190 pounds of fresh produce, dairy, eggs, and bagels to 18,125 individuals (including 9,529 children and 822 senior citizens).
Summit Approves Hometown Heroes Program to Honor Local Veterans

he City of Summit Common Council approved a resolution this summer to continue the Summit Hometown Heroes program for a second year.

In 2018, the program was limited to the first 100 applicants that met eligibility requirements. For 2019, the program will be expanded to include an additional 50 participants. The program is funded through private donations with no fee to participate. Information on application requirements and how to apply is available at cityofsummit.org/hometownheroes.

inberie’s Restaurant & Bar reopened its doors earlier this year after a two month renovation updating their space in the historic downtown building.
Returning patrons will immediately notice the newly updated dining room, revamped floor plan and the expanded bar area but will quickly feel right at home with the food and service which the Winberie’s and Select Restaurants, Inc. has been providing in Summit since 1985. A new floor was installed composed of more than three tons of wooden planking. The restaurant’s newly expanded bar will boast 16 rotating taps and a new Happy Hour menu. Local guests wanted to see more craft beer options available, so Manager Jim Owens and his staff included that feedback in the remodel, as well as using state-of-art technology to preserve its extensive wines by the glass offerings to ensure each is always fresh. As to the menu, Winberie’s continues to showcase freshly prepared, traditional and contemporary versions of American comfort foods, as well as, new, handcrafted recipes. Many long term favorites like Cedar Plank Salmon, Cajun Mac & Cheese and Chicken Pot Pie remain on the menu. Located in the Summit Opera House, the new look and feel of the restaurant pays homage to the building’s 125-year history. The Summit Opera House was built in 1893, but with today’s upgrades in facilities and culinary delights it’s sure to be an enjoyable evening for everyone from boomers to millennials.

Sep 21 Bill Staines at the Minstrel For just about as long as anyone currently involved in folk music can remember, Bill Staines has been the archetypical contemporary folk singer. People have been singing his songs on stage, in recording studios, and around campfires for over 30 years. He is responsible for such classics as “Roseville Fair”, “All God’s Critters Got a Place in the Choir”, and “River”, all with choruses that beg to be sung with. Come and see a true living legend. The Asthmatics open. Free parking; wheelchair accessible. Time:

Beppe Gambetta at the Minstrel
Registration for AfterSchool Program for 2018-2019 in all Summit Elementary Schools
Beppe Gambetta, the Italian bluegrass flatpicking champion. Sounds like an ethnic joke, but Beppe is no joke. Early in life he was captured by the music of such greats as Doc Watson and Tony Rice, and soon got to the point where he was sharing festival stages as an equal with his heroes. Equally adroit on mandolin, he can blaze through a hot bluegrass tune or croon a lovely Italian traditional ballad. And all with an elegant continental charm that is a joy to witness. Peter Lister opens. Free parking; wheelchair accessible.
Registration forms available online for the 2018-2019 school year. Homework assistance, enrichment activities for K-5th grades, 3:00-6:00 pm Monday-Friday.
