Relay For Life of Berkeley Heights, Mountainside, New Providence, and Summit is pulling out all the stops for this year’s event, which will take place at Governor Livingston High School from 3 p.m. on June 2 to 7 a.m. on June 3. Each year gets bigger and better, and this year is no exception.

Percentages of the proceeds will be donated to the American Cancer Society.

The future of television is taking shape in our midst. At Governor Livingston High School, a bunch of students and two adult advisers are producing a boatload of programming in the high school television studio. 'GLTV' is a local access television station that they run. It serves the communities of Berkeley Heights and Mountainside (watch it on Comcast 34, Fios 47 or on the website). Adviser and television production teacher Joe Voorhees and Ken Stiefel oversee the technical aspects of the station and assist the students during live shoots. But the students do the lion's share of the work, tallying 40 shoots and more than 200 hours of on-set time each year. They setup, shoot, break down and edit everything seen on GLTV. GLTV currently shoots regular and semi-regular shows in addition to sports, concerts, plays and special events — such as graduation. The students have the ability to do multi-camera shoots in house or on location with a remote truck. Yes, GLTV has a remote truck.
