Summer is always beautiful here at the Peaks.  Pretty flowers, greener lawns, active neighbors, cheerful kids, summer specials, the list is endless. 

Now that the schools are out here's something wonderful for our kids to participate in. Color A Smile!

Color A Smile is a non-profit organization located in Morristown, NJ - dedicated to spread a smile with cheerful drawings. Color A Smile collects crayon drawings from school children. Every month they distribute these drawings to Nursing Homes, Meals on Wheels Programs, and Individuals all across the country. The goal is to make people smile! 

On their website (www.colorasmile.org) you will find tons of pre-drawn templates that you could simply print and color OR you could draw your own pictures following the instructions below.

Instructions to Young Artists

* Use standard 8 1/2 X 11 letter size paper.
* Use one side of the paper only. (No fold over cards)
* Sign the front of the drawing with your first name and age.
* Do not put a date on any drawing.
* Choose cheerful, colorful themes. (Avoid "Get Well")
* Use crayon, marker, or colored pencil.P
* Do not use glitter, paint or paste.
* Mail completed drawings to: Color A Smile, O Box 1516, Morristown, NJ 07962-1516

A resident's plea

I  know we have spoken about the litter problem at the entrance and throughout the community.

Several residents and I help by picking up what they can, but this situation is now out of control.

If someone outside the Peaks were to throw away garbage bags, I doubt very highly that they would trek down to Black Oak Trail to do it.

Also, based on the fact that most owners do not pick up any garbge (they just walk by it or drive right past it), I would not put this action passed some of
the fellow homeowners. I know someone else in our community saw a homeowner take a plastic bag of dog poop and just throw it right behind the railing (still in the bag).

I am not just venting here. We NEED a solution.

I love this beautiful community that we invested in. It is a friendly, family oriented community, not
a third world country. Jeff Oster was good enough to make certain that this issue was mentioned in the newsletter, but I guess it did not make much of an impact. We all have busy lives, but we need to convey this epidemic to the people who do not subscribe to this page. I have outlined some ideas below and maybe we can all put our heads together to conquer this.

I would like to think that many other owners here do not know the extent of this major problem. I have a hard time believing that they would be OK with garbage bags and many other items thrown in our woods. This is getting much worse than the McDonalds bags we are always cleaning up in the entrance.

1. Peaks Clean-up Day. Not many people showed up last time, but maybe if we notify people of the extent of the problem, we can get a better turnout. Is Earth Day weekend, April 28 good for anyone?

2. When we do clean the Peaks (even individually), I would like to purchase either t-shirts or those cheap signs that go in the ground and would read, "Concerned Peaks Owner at Work, Please Help". Too many times other volunteers and I get a strange look like we are all doing community service through the Jefferson Police. Some people have even said to me with a glazed look, "I saw you cleaning yesterday" and not even offer to help or question anything. The time for that and saying thank you to the few concerned owners is over.

3. I am not sure if the littering signs will ever come, but I am also proposing Neighberhood Litter Watch signs be posted, giving the owners the right to get someone fined if they see some of this disgusting behavior. I know it sounds harsh, but we all work very hard to afford our homes, and I will not led some people lessen the value and beauty of our community.

4. Throughout the community, pictures of the trash should be taken, including the trash behind the railings, put on one sheet of paper and distributed to every home. We could put a caption on it, "Your Home" or something like that. Yes, this would cost money for printing, but that would be must less costly than having your investment in a garbage dump. I (and am sure others) would be more than willing to help distribute these notices to all the homes.

Let's keep the Peaks beautiful,

~ Your Fellow Resident

The Substitue

The Substitute is an MTV game show where a "substitute professor" walks into a regular class room and conducts a fun quiz game on the spot to the amusement of the unsuspecting students.

The winner walks away with $5,000.

Recently a Peaks' resident - Margaret - took the prize in NJIT! We are very happy for her. Margaret has a sweet personality, volunteers as an EMT (Emergency Medical Technician) and has a soft corner for aging seniors in nursing homes. She desires to become a doctor some day. We wish her the best for her dreams to come true!

Now, sit back, relax and enjoy the show! I am sure you will join me in congratulating Margaret!
