T

hanks to a N.J. Department of Environmental Protection grant, the Berkeley Heights Environmental Commission is working with the township on a three-year project to purchase and plant trees along the right of way (within 8-10 feet from the curb).

Trees sequester carbon and improve air quality. They provide shade and help reduce flooding. For those who currently experience excess water and/or poor drainage on property, planting trees can help.

The commission has surveyed locations. If the area around a home has been identified as a suitable place for planting, that resident has received a letter.

“We will be planting trees accordingly, unless you contact us letting us know you do not want a tree planted in the right of way adjacent to your property,” township officials noted. Utility companies recently did mark-outs in areas where trees are planned.

Small flags may be seen in these areas for March planting: Arden Court, Briarwood, Cornell Avenue, Dogwood Lane,

Emerson Lane, Ferndale Drive, Forest Avenue, Garfield Street, Hastings Road, Holly Glen, Kline, Lillian Court, Old Farm Road, Orchard Lane, Park Avenue, Mercier Place, Princeton Avenue, Riverbend Road, Shadow Lane, Station Street, Washington Street and others.

The choice of trees depends on whether there are overhead utilities and sidewalks. Residents may request the species, but exact trees planted will depend on availability.

When it comes time to plant, the vendor will have the site marked for underground utilities and a stake will be placed in the lawn.

Homeowners may move the stake left or right, but the tree needs to be planted within 8-10 feet from the curb. Each tree will have a watering bag, which needs to be filled once a week over the months following the planting.

Residents who received letters are asked to email EC@bhtwp.com so the township has your email address and knows whether you can fill the bag. Those who do not want a tree may also email EC@bhtwp.com.

To call, dial 908-464-2700, ext. 2123.

J

oseph Eberle is one of the leading realtors serving the Suburban Chamber of Commerce communities, and has been working feverishly with both buyers and sellers preparing them for the emerging spring market. In 2023, Joe was ranked the #7 individual Weichert agent world-wide.

Joe said he considers himself a "real estate investment advisor" more so than ever.

“In a market where conditions are changing on a daily basis, I partner with clients to position them for success,” Joe said. He noted that the 2024 real estate market is emerging more slowly than last year, with new listings down approximately 20% in January compared to 2023 (Summit, New Providence, Berkeley Heights, Chatham).

Joe's best advice is for sellers to listen to local realtor expertise as opposed to national news, as the story lines are significantly different. He adds that the "right time" to sell will be different for each homeowner as no two homes/circumstances are alike.

Joe is an active member of his expanded community. He is a proud supporter of local small business and local high school athletic and academic programs, and in 2023 was the recipient of the Patriots' Path Council Boy Scouts of America Good Scout Award.

Joe is a sales associate based out of the Weichert Chatham office at 64 Main St. Contact him at 908-868-4800 or at jeberle@weichert.com.

The Reverend Donald Steele, who served for 11 years as senior pastor at Central Presbyterian Church in Summit, delivered his final sermon on Jan. 28.

“How have the last 11 years flown by so quickly? How do you say goodbye to a person who has supported you, nurtured you, been patient with you, encouraged you, listened to you in times of stress, rejoiced with you in times of joy, preached a sermon that you absolutely needed to hear and blessed you with traveling together on a mutual Christian journey?” asked Pat Haddon, elder and co-chair of the church’s personnel team. “The days and weeks were bittersweet as we moved closer and closer to Don’s retirement. Last team meeting, last session meeting, last Christmas service, last Unity Service, last hug from Donna. So no goodbye to Don and Donna Steele -- go with God, my friends, and know how much you are loved.”

• Church staff and congregation members reflected upon the reverend’s list of accomplishments during his tenure in Summit, which include:

• Creating a place for the community to remember those who died during the COVID-19 pandemic, now a small, permanent memorial garden

• As an officer in the Summit Interfaith Council,

organizing support for the construction by Habitat for Humanity of the Crossings at Morris Avenue, 12 affordable housing units in Summit

• Serving as the organizing president of the board of trustees of Beyond Borders, which supports education in Haiti, from 1993-2008

• Creating a regularly-scheduled contemporary worship service at Central Presbyterian, known as “WAVE,” that is held twice monthly at 5 p.m. in the church auditorium

Pastor Steele married his wife, Donna, in 1986, and they have two children, Matthew and Benjamin.

Their retirement plans include a move to the Philadelphia area, where Matthew resides.

In early January, Floor & Décor held a ribbon cutting ceremony at its new facility at 114 Route 22 West in Springfield. Attendees at the celebration included Ira Yellin, chief executive merchant for Floor & Décor; Ryan Walshe, operations manager; DJ Taylor, pro services manager; and, representing the Suburban Chamber of Commerce, executive director Karen Hadley and Marcella Gencarelli, chamber co-chair. Mr. Yellin said, “Our team is very excited to be part of the local area chambers. We are looking forward to the future and to developing a great partnership within the communities.”

igh school juniors Emily Hickey and Lily Liu are part of the Governor's STEM Scholars (GSS) 2023-24 class. Selected from among nearly 1,000 applicants from across the state, Emily is at Summit High School, while Lily attends New Providence High School.

To qualify, applicants must have at least a 3.5 GPA, be a high school sophomore through doctoral-level student at a New Jersey-based high school or university, and demonstrate a passion for STEM. New Jersey has the highest concentration of engineers and scientists per square mile in the U.S., according to the N.J. Economic Development Authority. Recognizing that, GSS aims to serve as a bridge for selected students to connect with research and STEM professionals within the industry, academia and government sectors.

In addition, the contractor needs to shore up the bottom of the chimney in the front parlor room. During earlier work, workers found a “secret” fireplace in the corner of the side room when the floors came up.

estoration work on the historic Littell-Lord Farmstead Museum building – the yellow structure -has begun.

Connolly & Hickey Historical Architects are managing the current restoration construction progress, while contractor Dell-Tech won the bid for Phase 1 of this restoration work, which began in early January. This work includes shoring up the foundation and flooring in what's known as the "rear ell kitchen area," as well as some additional work.

Work is tentatively scheduled to be completed by the end of the first week of April. It includes the demolition, the shoring of the foundation and partial excavation work, which was first to be done.

Also scheduled for January, weatherpermitting, were additional selective demo, excavation/earthwork and concrete work, plus the start of masonry, metals (connectors) and rough carpentry work.

The last week of January, projects to be tackled included the start of window and door restoration. According to township officials, pictures of work to-date show unstable foundational beams, walls that do not extend to the foundation (leading to decreased stability of the house) and weak floors.

The project is being paid for entirely through grant money and private donations.

Anyone interested in providing support may send a check (and your contact information) to Town Hall made out to "Littell-Lord Trust" to: Liza Viana, Administration, 29 Park Ave., Berkeley Heights 07922. A GoFundMe has also been launched to assist in funding the effort.

As the new mayor of our city, I am deeply honored to serve the wonderful Summit community. For me, the role of a mayor is not just a title, it is a profound responsibility and a unique opportunity to positively impact the lives of our citizens. I am committed to addressing critical issues that are close to our hearts, such as public safety and community health.

I will actively listen, work tirelessly for the benefit of residents and the business community, and be a strong and effective advocate when needed. I am dedicated to being transparent, accountable and constantly focused on the diverse needs, interests and aspirations of the entire city.

Summit is more than just a place on the map. It is our home, a place we love and cherish. It fills me with pride to call myself a Hilltopper, and I am enthusiastic about making it an even better place for all of us.

Monday, Jan. 15, was Martin Luther King Day. As many already know, MLK Day was transformed into MLK Day of Service. The federal legislation challenges Americans each year to transform the holiday into a day of volunteer service.

The correlation between community service and happiness is steeped in scientific research. When we give to others it activates the areas of the brain associated with pleasure, social connection and trust. Being of service releases endorphins in the brain and boosts happiness for us as well as the people we help. I’m sure the Wellness Taskforce with delve further into this topic in 2024.

Likewise, when I tell you — humbly -- that being of service to the Berkeley Heights community is one of the most rewarding aspects of my life, I also feel compelled to tell you that effectuating change in an effort to make a positive impact is truly self-ISH. Not self- LESS, self-ISH. It feels good.

I am incredibly proud of our current legislative agenda, which contains two important items: The Mayor’s Wellness Campaign Taskforce and the Veteran’s Affairs (Committee) Taskforce.

Together, we have the power to bring about meaningful change and accomplish great things. I look forward to collaborating with each and every one of you as we embark on this journey to enhance our community and make Summit a city that continues to thrive and inspire.

To be able to collectively expand on the services we are providing for our veterans with a hard-working group of volunteers makes me beam with, well, endorphins! We will also form our wellness taskforce to help keep residents of all ages happy and healthy. As you know, this is an area that I believe is vitally important to strengthening the fabric of this community.

Please stop by to say hello and share your thoughts for Summit during my office hours at City Hall on Mondays from 9 to 11 a.m. and Wednesdays from 10 to noon. You can also contact me at efagan@cityofsummit.org.

Public service can be fraught with challenges and distractions. But when service to the community is the only guiding principal, the greater good prevails and sense of self is no longer important, as Dr. King taught.

True happiness is a community contagion.
