HUGO PFALTZ
RECALLED AS KIND, GENEROUS SOUL WHO WILL BE MISSED BY MANY IN SUMMIT
O
n Aug. 31, long-time Summit resident, businessman, downtown visionary and philanthropist Hugo M. Pfaltz died at age 87. His wife of 62 years, Marilyn, penned this essay and contributed it to The Collection magazine: The April 27, 1953, issue of Life Magazine featured a small liberal arts college in upstate New York, Hamilton College. Within the article there was a photo spread of 12 students, with a caption reflecting each personality. Hugo M. “Tug” Pfaltz was identified as the “Individualist” -- “Majoring in Geology with plans to go to South Africa and study the effect of gold mining. Perhaps to live there.” His profile did not change over the years. He always traveled with a mineral hammer just in case an interesting quartz or rock turned up. With the family gang, he spent many hours waistdeep in mountain streams panning for gold. Not many would persuade his new bride to take a 14,000 mile driving trip from New Jersey to Mexico and back, tenting along the way. The family became accustomed to strange pets -- Ali Macaw, Ziggy the goat, Lizzie the iguana and Oscar the bearded dragon, not to mention his rescues of an occasional turtle or possum or hawk. His conception of a backyard greenhouse with a koi pond was a beloved meditation spot. One fine day, Tug and son Bob went off to explore the mines near Sparta. Early in the afternoon, the front door bell rang. I was not expecting anyone, so I cautiously opened the door. Standing on the stoop staring inquisitively at my presence was a goat. Needless to say, I knew in a flash how he got there. There was much laughter coming from the bushes. In spite of my protests, of course we kept him…living happily in the backyard. Along the years Tug took up plane gliding, ultra-lighting and windsurfing. One Christmas you might have spotted him waving from his red Honda Civic wearing a Santa Claus hat or perhaps a sighting at Easter in his PT Cruiser, which was adorned with two ears and a cotton tail. He has always walked to his own drumbeat, a trailblazer in so many aspects of his life: travel adventures, politics, the law and his vision for downtown Summit. A kind and generous soul whose family, extended family, longtime friends and associates were his treasured life support.

P
eople often take for granted the skills necessary to live a successful, independent life. But lowincome families don’t always have opportunities to develop these tools.
Summit-headquartered Family Promise, the national leader addressing the crisis of family homelessness, has created an educational workshop series in its Union County program that helps struggling families hone skills critical for long-term success. Classes range from practical skills for parents like basic home maintenance, budgeting and CPR/first aid to kid-focused sessions like bike riding lessons and career exploration. The home maintenance course covers topics like household safety, basic repairs and tenancy best practices. A financial management class covers budgeting issues. There are nutrition, first aid and health and wellness workshops, as well as a session that addresses the emotional impact of homelessness. “While we’re teaching skills, we’re also looking at the subtle implications behind those skills, like how it feels to open a bill when you’re deep in debt,” said Geleen Donovan, Family Promise Union County executive director. “Most of us develop these skills and any coping mechanisms without realizing it. But struggling families are more focused on day-to-day survival than creating a strong foundation to build upon.” The workshops are primarily led by individuals who have volunteered to share their expertise with families. “Our volunteers are the backbone of our work,” said Ms. Donovan. “They walk alongside families to make sure they succeed.” Founded in Summit in 1988, Family Promise is comprised of more than 200 affiliates across the country and engages 200,000 volunteers. Its approach to addressing homelessness keeps families together and gives them the skills and tools to succeed independently. The organization serves nearly 100,000 individuals each year. For information or to learn about volunteering with Family Promise, visit familypromise.org. LIFE SKILLS LESSONS OFFERED -- Nutrition and healthy eating habits are among the topics covered by courses offered by Summit-based Family Promise to those who benefit from its programs. Other classes cover first aid and CPR, basic home maintenance and budgeting, while children can enroll to learn bike riding skills and about career exploration. Most classes are taught by volunteers.

NANCY ORI, KAT BLOCK EXHIBIT AT THE FREEHOLDER’S GALLERY
K
at Block and Nancy Ori, who is a resident of Berkeley Heights, have an exhibit with the theme “Landscapes of Union County” on view through Nov. 1 at the Freeholder’s Gallery on the sixth floor of the Union County Administration Building, 10 Elizabethtown Plaza, Elizabeth. Gallery hours are 9 to 5 weekdays. The exhibit is free and open to the public. Ms. Block has spent most of her life in Union County. She said, “I have gotten tremendous solace and pleasure from visiting the many parks in our county and photographing them to use as references for my mixed media collages, which have become my seminal works of art. I use patterned papers that represent what I see at these locations. My primary source of inspiration is the blossoming of the

cherry trees in Warinanco Park in Roselle…I finish each collage by adding pieces of my reference photos, making the work appear somewhat surreal and making each piece entirely self-referential.” Ms. Ori has been teaching and exhibiting her fine art photographs for decades and in 2004 was honored with the Woman of Excellence in Arts and Humanities Award from the Commission on Advocacy for Women and the Union County Freeholders. Her photographs reveal a love of light, shadow and form in natural and man-made settings. “I feel that continuing to exhibit these images can make a difference in our community by opening the eyes of residents to the many wonderful natural resources we have in Union County,” Ms. Ori said. “The county fathers had such foresight to fight and establish the Union County Park System in the 1920s.” The Union County Office of Cultural and Heritage Affairs, part of the Department of Parks and Recreation, coordinates the exhibits displayed at the Freeholder’s Gallery.

oldest known building remaining in the city. It boasts a local history museum and archives that feature maps, photos, postcards, yearbooks and even a 1920s Summit fire truck. The Summit Playhouse on New England Avenue began its life as the town’s original library from 1891-1911. Visitors can tour the theater, view an historic painted mural and enjoy a water fountain from the Metropolitan Opera House. Union County history trading cards are available at all sites to visitors of all ages. The program, begun in 2017, has continued to expand, and new cards are introduced regularly. Among current cards are ones that feature Alexander Hamilton, Virginia Apgar, Bell Labs, the Battle of Short Hills, General Motors, Langston Hughes, William “Bull” Halsey Jr. and Margaret Bourke-White. In addition, Union County is now part of the Passport to Your National Parks Program, and enthusiasts can have their passports stamped when visiting select Four Centuries sites, those that have connections to the Revolutionary War era. Each qualified site has its own stamp that recognizes its inclusion in the National Parks Services’ Crossroads of the Revolution National Heritage Area.

A
serendipitous moment at the end of a school field trip resulted in an honor for a longtime photography teacher at Summit High School. Don Standing, a native of Summit, had one of his photos earn a place in the finals of the 2019 International Street Photography Awards. The awards are part of the StreetFoto San Francisco Festival, a oncea-year gathering of street photographers from around the world.
Oct 21 Teen Cooking: Pretzel Broomsticks
Mr. Standing's photo -- entitled “Met Shadow” -- was one of 18 finalists from a dozen countries world-wide in Best Street Photograph Made on Film, a category with criteria that states: "A great street photograph can stand on its own, without explanatory text, and move the viewer with its beauty, its message, its humor or its story."
Make, bake and take home these cute edible broomsticks made from pretzel rods & phyllo dough. Sprinkle with cinnamon sugar for a sweet treat, or leave plain to dip into nacho cheese or guacamole for a fun Halloween or Harry Potter appetizer, sure to impress friends and family!

“Met Shadow” was taken at the conclusion of a school field trip to The Metropolitan Museum of Art in November 2018. "As I was steering the kids to the bus, I popped the picture. It was the absolute last frame on the roll," said Mr. Standing, who used a Leica M3 with a 50mm lens and Kodak Tri-X 400 film to capture the image, which features a man at the top of a wide outdoor staircase looking down upon his own long shadow and a group of children beneath him. Mr. Standing shoots exclusively on film.
Oct 22 Culture in Government and Politics
Since taking office Assemblyman Jon Bramnick has worked to spread a message of dignity and respect in politics. Not long ago we would look to our leaders as role models and example citizens. Unfortunately the 24 hour cable news cycle and mudslinging from our elected officials has divided our nation. It seems like those in power refuse to listen to one another and compromise. This hyperpartisan political climate highlights the growing need for civility and respect in government. Jon is serving his eighth term in the New Jersey General Assembly representing Union, Somerset and Morris Counties. Among his many titles ( legislative), after winning contests at the Rascals Comedy Club, he was named the ‘Funniest Lawyer in New Jersey’.
