July 24, 2010 Fifty people gathered Saturday afternoon at Hat City Kitchen, 459 Valley St., for The Orange's first rock-paper-scissors, RPS, tournament.
Two different tournaments were hosted, one for adults and the other for kids under 18. More than a dozen competitors from the New York tri-state area attended the event.

Mike Cicora, of Iselin, won the adult tournament and qualified to compete in next year's World Rock Paper Scissors Society championship in Toronto. There is no qualifying competition for kids.

The competition was hosted by Hat City Kitchen, HANDS Inc., University of Orange and the Orange Recreation Department.

Tony Galento Plaza Day!

Tony Galento Plaza Day was a success!
Bright and early, commuters at the Orange Station were treated to free coffee and newspapers. Lunchtime found us chilling out in the heat in our christened Picnic Nook with music as well as fun pictures with Tony Galento and his bear. At rush hour, commuters were again treated to delicious samples from local restaurants: catfish fritters with spicy yogurt sauce from Mandeville, miniature beef patties from Golden Krust, and a fresh sampling of vegetables (basil, peppers etc) from local Garden State Urban Farms greenhouse. We handed out maps of local restaurants in the surrounding area, aptly named "Two Tons of Yum" and collected over 100 surveys of what commuters and residents wish to see in the Tony Galento Plaza and station.
