Diane Elaine Johanson passed away peacefully at her home in Golden, Colorado, on June 11, 2026, at the age of 90. Born April 30, 1936 in Union County, New Jersey, Diane spent her early years in Cranford, New Jersey before attending Bucknell University.
In 1957, Diane married her childhood sweetheart, Bob Johanson, and the couple moved to Rochester, New York in 1959, where Diane completed her bachelor&rsquo;s degree in psychology at the University of Rochester. Diane and Bob purchased a home in Greece, New York in 1960, where they raised four children and built a life together. They lived in Greece for more than six decades until they relocated to Colorado in 2025 to be closer to their children, who had each settled in the Western United States.
In the early 1970s, Diane founded and operated a letterpress printing business with a dear friend. She will undoubtedly be most remembered, however, for her lifelong volunteer work. Diane was deeply committed to her community and generously shared her time working with the Greece Public Library, the local Girl Scouts and 4-H Club, local theatre venues, and the Rochester Dahlia and African Violet Societies. Diane will be remembered for her devotion to family, her love of reading and gardening, and her dedication to the organizations and people she supported throughout her life. The gifts of her time, kindness, and love will live on in the many lives she touched.
Diane is survived by her beloved husband of nearly 69 years, Bob; her four children, David, Lois, Linda, and Susan; seven grandchildren; three great-grandchildren; and her sister, Sharon. Arrangements have been entrusted to Horan &amp; McConaty in Lakewood, Colorado.
Diane will be laid to rest at Fairview Cemetery in Westfield, New Jersey, less than a mile from where she and Bob grew up. In accordance with Diane&rsquo;s wishes, no local services will be held. Memorial donations may be made in Diane&rsquo;s memory to the Friends of the Greece Public Library.

Warren County Farmers' Fair featuring the Balloon Festival

Celebrating the American Farmer &amp; Family Traditions since 1937!
The Warren County Farmers’ Fair is more than an agricultural fair. It boasts a hot air balloon festival, and a variety of shows and competitions you don’t often find in today’s world of digital entertainment. From demolition derbies and a rodeo, to fry pan throwing and rubber chicken tosses, the Fair provides a great variety of entertainment for all! 
Located in Harmony Township, NJ – just a few minutes north of Phillipsburg and minutes off Rt. 78 – the Fair runs from Saturday, July 25 to Saturday, August 1, 2026.
Join us for a Fireworks celebration on Sunday night, July 26, at dusk (rain date Monday). The fireworks show in celebration of our nation’s 250 years of freedom is provided courtesy of the Warren County Board of County Commissioners.
The Fair itself celebrates 88 years of affordable family fun. Admission is only $10 for an adult, and $5 for children ages 6 through 12, with 5 and under being free, as well as free parking. Advance admission tickets are available online, handling fees apply.
Fair admission includes access to the balloon festival. It’s like two events for the price of one. If you’ve never been to a balloon festival, the balloons come out in the evening, with a 6:30 pm launch time. Full flight balloon rides are available and may be scheduled in advance to ensure your spot. Email <a href="mailto:fly@balloonfestnj.com">fly@balloonfestnj.com</a> to inquire about pricing and to reserve. Tethered rides are available each evening on a first-come, first-served basis, ranging from $20-$30 per person. The tentative start time is around 5 pm, weather conditions permitting.

Woman in Media – Newark (WIM-N) proudly announces the 17th Annual Women's International Film Festival (WIFF), taking place July 30–31 and August 1 and 6, 2026, with virtual screenings on August 7, 2026. The festival will showcase powerful independent films from around the world that illuminate the experiences of women and explore themes of justice, identity, resilience, environmental stewardship, and social change.
For seventeen years, the Women's International Film Festival has provided a platform for emerging and established filmmakers whose work amplifies women's voices and inspires meaningful dialogue. Through compelling storytelling, the festival brings together filmmakers, advocates, artists, students, and community members to examine issues that shape our world while celebrating the creativity and leadership of women.
Among this year's festival highlights are three acclaimed feature documentaries:
<ul>
 <li>The Delivery Line: Midwives on the Frontline, directed by Nance Ackerman, chronicles the extraordinary courage of Ukrainian midwives who continue delivering babies while navigating the realities of war. The film is a moving testament to resilience, compassion, and the unwavering commitment of healthcare workers on the front lines.</li>
 <li>The Bengali, directed by Kavery Kaul, is a deeply personal exploration of identity, migration, and belonging. The Bengali tells the untold story of ties between South Asians and African-Americans in the U.S. In the late nineteenth-century, men from India arrived in the United States and married African-American women. The men were Muslims; the women were Christian. Together, they built families in an America that held them all at arm’s length.</li>
 <li>A Beast Touch the Mountain: Mountain Valley Pipeline and the Fight for Appalachia examines the ongoing struggle of Appalachian communities to protect their land, water, and way of life, highlighting the determination of local women activists confronting one of the nation's most controversial energy projects.</li>
</ul>
These films exemplify the festival's commitment to presenting stories that challenge audiences, foster empathy, and encourage dialogue about the issues affecting communities around the world.
As part of the festival, Woman in Media – Newark will also honor five extraordinary women whose leadership and service have made a lasting impact on their professions and communities. The 2026 Trailblazing Women are: Desiree Hadley, Newark Mayor’s Office of Film and Television; Rev. Eyesha Marable, Assistant Vice President of Community Engagement at the New Jersey Performing Arts Center; Elizabeth Parchment, New Jersey Motion Picture &amp; Television Commission; Theresa Perry Lewis, Educator, producer/director; Diane Raver, founder, Garden State Film Festival.Each honoree embodies the spirit of courage, innovation, and service that the Women's International Film Festival seeks to celebrate.
"Our festival is about more than film," said Pamela Morgan, Executive Director of Woman in Media – Newark. "It is about creating a space where stories can build understanding, inspire action, and connect communities across cultures. We are equally proud to recognize this year's Trailblazing Women, whose leadership continues to strengthen our communities and inspire future generations."
Since its founding, the Women's International Film Festival has remained committed to making independent cinema accessible to everyone. Festival events are designed to encourage community participation, elevate underrepresented voices, and celebrate the transformative power of storytelling. Admission is free and open to the public, reflecting Woman in Media – Newark's commitment to ensuring that these important stories are available to all.
