The event comes from a county's Natural High Initiative, an effort to keep kids away from illegal drugs and encourage healthy choices.
The Morris County Partners in Substance Abuse Prevention program continues the Natural High Initiative it began six years ago with an evening of free family ice skating at the Mennen Arena, 161 East Hanover Ave. in Morris Township, on Thursday from 6-8 p.m. Morris County Municipal Alliance Coordinator Steve Nebesni said the event is intended to show children and teens that they can achieve highs naturally—without the aid of drugs or alcohol—by engaging in fun, uplifting activities like the skating event.

Five coach buses and five vans rolled into the William G. Mennen Arena at 10 a.m. Saturday, delivering 367 evacuees from South Jersey to the last destination of a 26-hour journey. The fragile and vulnerable residents of Atlantic City and Pleasantville boarded their buses at 8 a.m. Friday, and hit three destinations before Mennen. Many are from nursing homes, according to Joan Lyons, a Pleasantville resident who helped sign-in the evacuees at the arena.
