Local History Lecture Series:The Rock-A-Bye Baby: The Amusing History of Mendham’s Short Line Railroadat the Mendham Township Library

Join us for the NEW lecture series about local history sponsored by Mendham Township Historic Preservation Committee.The Local History Lecture Series will take place on the 1st and 3rd Thursdays of the month at 7pm from September – December.
On Thursday, September 17th at 7pm, join local historian James Zemaitis, as he explores the history of The Rock-A-Bye Baby Railroad at the Mendham Township Library.
While hiking the newly-dedicated Patriot's Path with his father in the 1970s, Mendham resident James Zemaitis pulled his first iron spike from the remnants of the Rockaway Valley Railroad. Years later, when composing the text for a historical sign in Pitney Park, he delved into the short history of the cursed railroad, which served Mendham Township from 1892 to 1913. The "Rock-a-Bye" nickname was a reference to the financial difficulties, erratic service, and poor conditions of the single-track line which ran from Whitehouse Station to Morristown. The train had five stops in the Mendhams, including right across the street from the Township Library. Today Patriot's Path marks the railroad's route, one of many historical park initiatives brought into existence by the American Bicentennial. James will present a nostalgic history of the railroad, which transported peaches, cider and Mendham students, and discuss its latter day importance as a scenic byway and National Recreation Trail. 
About Mendham Township Historic Preservation Committee:
Mendham Township’s Historic Preservation Committee has likely existed in official and unofficial forms since the township’s formation.Notes and Town record books and documents kept from the late 1700s and early 1800s take great care to document which families lived where and the old Native American footpaths which eventually would become Route 24.In 2018, the Township officially established via ordinance the Historic Preservation Committee. Some of the Committee’s responsibilities include review of applications for development, advise on said applications, make recommendations for preservation of historic sites, and prepare a survey of historic sites.The Historic Preservation Committee is dedicated to preserving Mendham Township’s historic nature and charm.

An Essex County home inspector has built a free website that lets anyone look up the public records behind a New Jersey property &mdash; building permits, flood zones, fire history, property taxes, and more &mdash; by typing in an address.
The site, Permit &amp; Parcel (oprasearch.app), covers all 564 New Jersey municipalities and pulls only from official sources: state and county databases, FEMA flood maps, and the towns' own municipal codes. There's no account, no email capture, and no cost.
"I kept watching buyers fall in love with a house before anyone checked the paper trail &mdash; the open permits, the flood zone, what the town actually requires when a home changes hands," said Leo Betancor, a Certified Master Inspector based in Cedar Grove and the founder of the site. "All of that is public record. It just wasn't in one place anyone could actually use."
Alongside the main lookup, the site includes free single-purpose tools: a lead-safe inspection lookup showing which of the two state-required inspection methods each town uses under New Jersey's lead paint law, a searchable directory of every DCA-certified lead evaluation and abatement contractor sorted by distance, a fire-incident map built from more than 40 years of state fire records, and a radon map covering every municipality.
A companion site, njflood.zone, gives instant FEMA flood-zone answers for any New Jersey address &mdash; built after the federal government shutdown left FEMA's own map site unreliable &mdash; running on the site's own servers with the complete flood map data for the state loaded locally.
The project was recently featured in <a href="https://www.tapinto.net/towns/east-hanover-slash-florham-park/columns/at-home-with-holly/articles/deep-dive-conversations-what-the-house-won-t-tell-you" target="_blank" rel="noopener nofollow">TAPinto</a>'s "At Home with Holly" column.

Heart & Mind Coaching and Consulting 

I'm a certified life coach with over 15 years of experience supporting children, adolescents, young adults, and families through academic, personal, and life challenges. With a background in special education, training in clinical mental health counseling, and an LDT-C (Learning Disabilities Teacher-Consultant) certification, I bring a unique blend of educational expertise, coaching, and compassionate guidance to every client I work with. My journey began long before I entered the field of education. Growing up during the Bosnian War taught me the power of resilience, hope, and perseverance. Those experiences shaped my belief that while we can't always control the circumstances we face, we can choose how we respond—and those choices have the power to create meaningful change. That belief is the foundation of Heart &amp; Mind Coaching &amp; Consulting. Whether I'm working with an adolescent building confidence, a parent seeking guidance, or an individual navigating a life transition, my goal is always the same: to create a supportive, encouraging space where people feel seen, understood, and empowered to move forward. At Heart &amp; Mind, I combine evidence-informed strategies with empathy, practical tools, and personalized coaching to help clients gain clarity, strengthen essential life skills, and create lasting, meaningful growth because meaningful change starts with both the heart and the mind.
