Salvante Director of Parks, Recreation and Cultural Affairs PUTTING ESSEX COUNTY FIRST COMPLIMENTARY ISSUE Dear Friend, After surviving sub-zero temperatures this past winter, we surely are all ready to welcome the sunny, balmy days of spring. In Essex County, we have no shortage of activities that will get you and your family outside, shaking off the winter cobwebs and enjoying the sun’s warmth on your back. In this issue, we are highlighting our fishing derby program. Held at seven locations throughout our historic Parks System, the event lets children become outdoorsmen while putting the spotlight on our beautiful ponds and waterfronts. This is an activity that the whole family can enjoy and create memories that will last a lifetime. To experience the beauty of nature, we invite you to visit Essex County Branch Brook Park for the colorful blooming of the Cherry Blossom Trees. For two weeks in April, the vibrant white and pink petals overtake the park and create a spectacular scene. There’s also a variety of events scheduled to celebrate the season, including professional bicycle races, a 10K run, children’s fun run, Family Fun Day and Bloomfest. There’s also the blooming flowers in the Essex County Presby Memorial Iris Gardens and the Essex County Brookdale Park Rose Garden. For the more adventurous, visit our Essex County South Mountain Recreation Complex.

An indispensable classic that defines the indefinable.” –John Zorn “Chusid takes us through the musical looking glass to the other side of the bizarro universe, where pop spelled back- wards is . pop? A fascinating collection of wilder cards and beyond-avant talents.” –Lenny Kaye Irwin Chusid “This book is filled with memorable characters and their preposterous-but-true stories. As a musicologist, essayist, and humorist, Irwin Chusid gives good value for your enter- tainment dollar.” –Marshall Crenshaw Outsider musicians can be the product of damaged DNA, alien abduction, drug fry, demonic possession, or simply sheer obliviousness. But, believe it or not, they’re worth listening to, often outmatching all contenders for inventiveness and originality. This book profiles dozens of outsider musicians, both prominent and obscure, and presents their strange life stories along with photographs, interviews, cartoons, and discographies.
