M
ost of us know
what we need to
do to be fit, but
with our busy
schedules it can
be challenging
to turn that knowledge into action.
Fortunately, there are lots of ways
that living in the Wayne area makes
it easier to stay healthy.
The terrain, for one; residents can take advantage
of the many parks and lakes to keep active, and
then relax in front of the charming views.
“All Doors Lead to the Lake” presents a Pines Lake
estate that affords its owners the uniquely Wayne
option of accessing the water directly from their
backyard. And it’s currently on the market,
so that could be you, boating and swimming.
Sleep is another important factor to health —
it’s free, but often so hard to come by. “No More
All-Nighters” focuses on how college students can
balance their activities with their need to rest and
reboot, but the advice from counselors applies to
all of us.
Two articles in our fall issue highlight local per-
formers (being entertained is good for unwinding,
no?). “Broadway Bound” introduces us to Deanna
Thomas, a Wayne Valley High School junior who
won a coveted spot in Paper Mill Playhouse’s
esteemed Summer Musical Theater Conservatory
(past winners include Anne Hathaway and
Kinnelon’s Laura Benanti). And if we were playing
Jeopardy, the response to “The Bon Jovi of Wayne,”
(the title of another article) would be “Who the
Hell is Dan Bruder?” (You’ll understand the joke
as soon as you crack open these pages and start
reading.) Happy fall! ■

correction
In our Back to School
issue, we misstated
the name of performer
Laura Benanti’s favorite
deli in Kinnelon: It is
A Taste of Reality
Deli & Catering.
