T
he Back to School season always
puts me in mind of new begin-
nings and a chance to see things
in a new way. For example,
at Passaic County Technical
Institute, enrollees spend up to
140 minutes per day — in addition to their
basic course load — honing skills in engineering, auto
technology, culinary arts and other potential careers. In
“Reading, Writing and Auto Repairs,” four PCTI students
share how this alternative approach has worked for them.
This issue’s Home feature presents a different way to live,
too. While many of the lakeside residences in Wayne are
designed with a rustic, unassuming comfort in mind,
“A Design that Lives up to the View” introduces readers to an
ambitious interior design that features a second-floor catwalk,
glassed-in wine storage and a his-and-hers master suite closet
inspired by the shoe-loving ladies of Sex and the City.
Two residents faced new stages in their lives this year.
Sports agent Mark Lepselter, whose storied career has
spanned decades, is bidding farewell to Wayne after raising
his children here; read about him in “On Top of his Game.”
And golfer Tyler Hall competed for the first time in the PGA
Championship in Bethpage. “A Winning Mentality” looks at
his focus on the future, and plans to return and triumph. ■
