School welcomes new theater teacher
BY HEATHER FIORE
The Hopewell Sun
When John Zisa was engulfed
in show business, performing at
Radio City Music Hall, directing
various plays and musicals, and
auditioning for American Idol in
front of critically acclaimed
judge Simon Cowell, he probably
never thought the next step in his
journey would be as Hopewell
Valley Central High Schools
(HVCHS) new Theater Arts
teacher.
Zisa, a 33 year-old Hackensack
native, has been performing on
prestigious stages since he was 8
years old.
His pretty impressive rsum,
which could certainly title him as
a seasoned veteran of the indus-
try, details his ventures with
Radio City Music Halls Christ-
mas Spectacular, along with nu-
merous performances in New
York City and the surrounding
areas, commercial appearances,
singing ventures, and his audi-
tion for American Idol, where he
sang his way into the top 20 male
singers before exiting the show.
I auditioned on a whim, and
did so much better than I thought
I would, Zisa said. It was sort of
like an out-of-body experience for
me, seeing these people in the
flesh that you see on TV all the
time.
Since Zisa has been acting, di-
Special to The Sun
John Zisa, Hopewell Valley Central High Schools new theater arts teacher, directed a variety of plays at other venues throughout his career,
including this performance of Aida at Hackensack High School in 2009.

Fiddling front and center at contest
By HEATHER FIORE
The Hopewell Sun
On Saturday, Aug. 25, nearly
1,000 people gathered at Howell
Farm in Hopewell Township to
celebrate the deep-rooted tradi-
tion of fiddling at the 28th annual
Fiddle Contest.
The contest, which is organ-
ized by The Hunterdon Folk Ex-
change in collaboration with the
Friends of Howell Living History
Farm, is the largest and longest
running fiddle contest in New
Jersey and attracts some of the
best fiddlers from throughout the
tri-state area, according to co-or-
ganizer and member of the Hun-
terdon Folk Exchange Greg
Myers.
The contest started back in
early 1980s by Bill Huber, who
was a fiddler and whos now
passed away, and it was very
small at first, he said. Back
then, New Jersey didnt have
much of a fiddle contest, so Bill
decided to start one and it grew
over the years. Now, theres a few
contests in New Jersey, but this
one is the oldest.
Myers, who has been helping
organize the contest for about 15
years, lends most of the credit to
Carol Behrens, co-organizer and
member of the Hunterdon Folk
Exchange, who has been involved
with the contest since its begin-
ning.
She should get a lot of credit
for keeping it going after Bills
death, Myers said.
Myers also explained some of
the history behind the contest
and how it came to initiation
nearly 30 years ago.
Fiddle contests are an old tra-
dition that date back to the early
1800s, he said. Its a chance for
fiddlers to get together and share
information, learn new tunes,
and have a chance to play because
a lot of fiddlers work really hard
on their fiddling, and they dont
get to play much in front of audi-
ences. So, this gives them a
chance and encourages them to
keep playing the fiddle and get-
ting better at it.

A talk about enamel buttons
will be presented by the New Jer-
sey State Button Society (NJSBS)
at its Fall Show and Competition
on Saturday, Sept. 8, at the Union
Fire Company fire hall located at
1396 River Road (Route 29) in Ti-
tusville, from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m.
Karen L. Cohen, a studio-but-
ton artist, will give a talk entitled
Enamel Identification: Perspec-
tives from a Modern Enamellist
at 1:30 p.m., when she will discuss
the differences between enamel
work, which is fired in hot-tem-
perature kilns versus cold enamel
applications.
According to the Big Book of
Buttons, true enameling is an an-
cient technique, whereby a
glassy powder is fused by heat
onto a metal surface, usually gold,
silver, brass or copper.
There are four principal meth-
ods of enameling, each differing
in the way the metal is prepared
to receive the glaze: Cloisonne,
Champleve, Basse-Taille and
Plique-a-Jour. With painted enam-
els, none of the metal surface is
separated by metal partitions.
The NJSBS show is held twice
a year for New Jersey and tri-
state button enthusiasts who
enjoy the artwork and history of
buttons, including their manufac-
ture and design. Throughout the
day there will be a variety of ac-
tivities, including the judging of
button trays entered into compe-
tition, and a button raffle.
The event is open to the gener-
al public, although there is a $2
door fee for all attendees. Coffee
and luncheon items can be pur-
chased on site. The Union Fire
Company & Rescue Squad build-
ing is located at the intersection
of Route 29 and Park Lake Av-
enue in Titusville, opposite the
Delaware River and D&R Canal
State Park (within easy access to
the canal park), a half mile north
of Washington Crossing State
Park in Hopewell Township, and
some five miles south of Lam-
bertville and New Hope, Pa.

W
ere pretty sure that Repub-
lican Party leaders took a
close look at speeches before
they were delivered at the recent con-
vention. Which makes us wonder how
Chris Christies remarks actually saw
the light of day.
Make no mistake, the governor de-
livered a bang-up speech. He spoke of
values, sacrifice and the future of the
nation and his party. He had people
cheering. If theres one thing Christie
does well, its deliver a speech.
But, in his remarks, that Romney
guy seemed to be an afterthought. It
took a long time for the governor to
even mention the GOP nominee. There
was a lot of stuff about Christie, his
views and his vision, but not a lot
about trying to get Mitt Romney elect-
ed president in November.
Christie took some heat for his re-
marks the day after he delivered them.
Were guessing the heat didnt bother
him one bit.
Christies blunt, tell-it-like-he-sees-it
approach is one of the things people
like about the guy. In an era when al-
most every other politician tailors his
or her speech to whomever they are
speaking to, Christie never leaves a
doubt in anyones mind about what he
thinks. Its not always what people
want to hear. But theres something to
be said for a politician not worrying so
much about being popular and just
speaking his mind.
The governors speech certainly was
an accurate introduction to the rest of
the nation. And it set him up well for a
future presidential run perhaps as
early as 2016 should President Obama
win re-election.
Love him or hate him, Christie defi-
nitely would be an interesting presi-
dential candidate. No one will accuse
him of pandering to special interests.
No one will wonder where he stands on
issues or what he would do if elected.
In these days, where politicians
promise one thing and deliver another,
Christies openness and bluntness set
him apart.
in our opinion
Hi, my name is Chris
Governors convention address sets him up for a future presidential bid
Christie in 2016?
The governors speech at the
Republican National Convention last
week was long on vision and short on
politicking. That might not be great for
Mitt Romney, but it could serve Christie
well in four years.
recting, and singing his entire life, he did-
nt acquire the teaching bug until about
seven years ago when he ran into his high
school English teacher, who then offered
him a job at the school.
I kind of laughed at first because teach-
ing wasnt something that I thought about,
although people have always told me that
Id be a good teacher, he said. And, it
wound up being something that I really
loved. I tell people it was by accident, but
Im also one to think that there are no acci-
dents in life, so I think it was meant to be.
With his new position and wealth of ex-
perience, Zisa hopes to help Hopewell stu-
dents find their own amazing experiences
in the world of performing arts. Hell teach
Theater Arts and direct HVCHS yearly
program of two plays and one musical.
What Im really excited about is that
Hopewell already had support and atten-
tion on the arts, so its a really great oppor-
tunity to come somewhere that has a pro-
gram thats so successful, and instead of de-
veloping something or changing some-
thing, I feel like Ill just be able to take it
and continue it in my own aesthetic, he
said. Its a great place to continue the work
thats been done and move forward and
hopefully bring the students a sense of ma-
terial that they havent been exposed to.
Zisa further detailed his mild anxiety,
which many new teachers experience, but
more so how hes anxious to begin teach-
ing and molding the students at HVCHS.
Its tough being the new guy sometimes
with students who dont know you and the
way you work, but I think its easier in a sit-
uation where they already have a good pro-
gram, he said. Its different when there is
no program at all, and you have to use
everything youve got to get them even in-
terested at all. Because theyre already in-
terested in it, I think its a good marriage.
Zisa will begin his term this year, and
was chosen from a pool of 74 applicants, ac-
cording to District Supervisor of Visual
and Performing Arts Peter Griffin, who is
excited to see what Zisa has to offer for
HVCHS students.
He brings a wide range of experience
that will enhance our program and bring it
to the next level, Griffin said. Im confi-
dent hell bring our high school theater
students to new levels of performance that
they never thought possible.
For his part, Zisa detailed how he enjoys
playing a part in kids lives, and some-
times, their futures.
I like being an instrumental part of
young peoples lives at that time when they
are choosing to go down one path or anoth-
er, he said. I enjoy knowing a student is
going on to study theater because I intro-
duced him or her to it, that I actually affect-
ed their path.
I like being in a community that clearly
values the performing arts, he said.
With the kind of support that exists here,
the possibilities really are endless.

Watson explained how Howell
Farm has been hosting the con-
test since 1994, and detailed how
the Friends of Howell Living His-
tory Farm became involved.
At Howell Farm, we interpret
the agriculture and lifestyle of a
typical family farm of the area
during the 1890-1910 era by invit-
ing visitors to participate in Liv-
ing History programs that give
them a taste of the early days,
which include the fiddle contest,
he said. The Friends also con-
tribute by offering the childrens
craft, which was a percussion
shaker this year. During the con-
test, the Friends also make and
serve old-fashioned ice cream
using an ice cream freezer pow-
ered by an early gas engine,
which the Friends helped acquire
and restore in the early 1990s.
Howell Farms fiddle contest
drew fiddlers from various states,
including New Jersey, Pennsylva-
nia and New York.
During the contest, the two-
dozen or so fiddlers who compet-
ed were required to play two dif-
ferent tunes of varying tempos.
There were no regional limits to
the type of music the contestants
were able to play, but most fid-
dlers stuck to the traditional fid-
dle music, such as Turkey in the
Straw and other songs that are
generally played at square
dances.
However, some fiddlers also in-
corporated waltz and other kinds
of folk genres like Cajun and
bluegrass tunes.
We try not to be too strict
about it because generally every-
thing falls in the folk category,
Myers said.
Although the contest is loosely
judged based on presentation, im-
itation and performance, Myers
added how the first 20 pre-regis-
tered fiddlers received $50 just for
showing up and playing.
As far as the judging went,
there were three judges who were
responsible for crowning winners
for the adult and junior contests.
The adult contest, which ranked
first through fourth places, gave
fiddlers a chance of winning any-
where from $75 to $175. For the
junior competition, which is basi-
cally to involve the kids and give
them something to participate in,
awarded first through third
places with a grand prize of $30.
Its a lovely afternoon, and its
really fun to see the kids play,
Myers said. People get up there
and play lovely old tunes that
arent heard too much anymore,
and the audience really likes it.

cational Gardens located at 431A

Gardeners who will be on hand to
offer tips and display guides for
recognizing some of the pesky as

and often beautiful insects com-

help control insect pest popula-
tions and reduce the use of chem-
ical pesticides. Children will be
able to help paint a mural of the
newly restored meadow, take a
look at red wriggler worms mak-
ing compost in a simple container
that is easy to set up at home, and

by honeybees to communicate
with one another about the loca-
tion of blooming flowers.

births, Monarch butterfly tag-
ging, bugs galore (insect inspec-
tion and handling), the insect
puppet show, tattoos, crafts,

School bells are ringing once
again in Pleasant Valley as the
Howell Living History Farm in-
vites the public to participate in a
unique back to school day on
Saturday, Sept. 8, from 10 a.m.
until 4 p.m. The program features
the educational, social and cultur-
al activities centered around the
one-room school in rural life of
1900.
The Howell Farm
schoolmistress has McGuffy read-
ers, slates and slate pencils ready
for students of all ages to begin
their lessons in the three Rs. Visi-
tors can take a seat in an antique
school desk and try their hand at
orthography using pen and ink,
or attempt to solve farm related
arithmetic problems on the chalk-
board. As in yesteryear, children
can help with farm chores before
attending the one-room school.
The school bell will ring on the
hour at 11 a.m., noon, 1 p.m. and 3
p.m. to begin lessons and half
past the hour at 11:30 a.m., 12:30
p.m., 1:30 p.m. and 3:30 p.m. for re-
cess and a quick tour of the privy.
During recess, children will be in-
troduced to hoops and sticks, tug
of war and other old-fashioned
games and toys.
School lunches served in bas-
kets or pails will be sold in the
kitchen, and a childrens craft
program, Leaf Bookmark, will
be held from 11 a.m. until 3 p.m.;
cost is $2 per craft.
Participants in the school pro-
gram may attend the box social,
which will be held at 2 p.m. Well-
wrapped boxes of homemade pies
or goodies will be auctioned off to
benefit the school. The lucky gen-
tleman who wins the bid on the
teachers pie will also share her
company.
People who have recollections,
stories, and photographs to share
of days in a one-room school-
house are encouraged to visit the
farm on the 8h, or come to the Fri-
day evening talk on the Pleasant
Valley Schoolhouse. The program
begins at 7:30 p.m.; the gates open
at 7 p.m. A $3 donation is suggest-
ed.

ley Rd., just off Rt. 29, two miles
south of Lambertville. Hours are
