Memorial Day Observance Attracts Crowd In Netcong
By Jane Primerano
he tiny park sandwiched between
the bank and Lake Musconetcong
on Ledgewood Road in Netcong
was crowded with people on Mon., May
25, for the annual Memorial Day observance.
American Legion Post 278 arranged for
the parade through Netcong led by the
Lenape Valley Patriots Marching Band.
Other participants included the Valley
Road School band, Boy Scout Troop 91 of
Stanhope, Cub Scout Pack 93 of Netcong,
Troop 62 Daisies, several sports teams, the
American Legion First Aid Squad of
Stanhope, the Netcong Fire Department
and the Colonial Musketeers Fife and
Drum Corps from Hackettstown. Residents
lined Maple Avenue and Main Street to
watch the parade, then walked over to the
park.
Past Post Commander Carl Beale served
as master of ceremonies as he has for a
number of years. This year he asked
Lenape Valley senior Jeremy Leferge to
read the World War I poem In Flanders
Fields at the start of the ceremony. The
Patriot band played the Star Spangled
Banner.
Speakers included Netcong Mayor
Joseph Nametko, Stanhope Mayor
Rosemarie Maio and Freeholder George
Graham.
We are not here to celebrate but to
observe, to remember the 1.3 million, said
Stanhope Mayor Rosemarie Maio, referring to the men and women killed in all US
wars. They gave their lives protecting the
freedoms we take for granted. They were
ordinary people who responded in extraordinary ways in extreme times. No ceremony can do justice to their memory.
Graham said he encountered a Navy
Ensign who reminded him its no longer
the big wars, but the little skirmishes that
are taking the lives of our military. He said
the crowd in the park appeared a little thinner than last year and he urged the people
who did come to bring a friend next year
and to especially remember to bring young
people so they understand the importance
of the ceremony.
Another speaker was Mitch Alcott, a
veteran of Afghanistan and Iraq and a
member of the Stanhope Fire Department.
He had some grim statistics. He said
since the Revolutionary War there have
been 1,478,394 wounded members of the
military.
Alcott noted the difficulty families have
watching their loved ones suffer every day
and then take their last breath, citing a
friend, Dave Morgan, who died in 2013,
four years after his initial injuries.
Ryan Yanavok, 7, Ava Schuffenhauer, 7, and Anna Schuffenhauer, 3, all of Netcong, beat the
Memorial Day heat with ice pops.
Alcott also quoted the US Department

of Housing and Urban Development statistic that on any given night there are 49,933
homeless veterans and urged people to help
remedy that tragedy.
Close to home, Alcott talked about his
cousin, a Vietnam veteran who committed
suicide. He said the Department of
Veterans Affairs says a veteran commits
suicide every 65 minutes, another tragedy
that needs to be ended.
Maio and Nametko placed a wreathe on
the war memorial in the park and another

wreathe was laid in Lake Musconetcong in
memory of those who lost their lives at
sea.
Rev. Hugh Matlock of the Stanhope
Presbyterian Church read the names of
those from Netcong, Stanhope and Budd
Lake who gave their lives in US wars as
the Patriot band played Amazing Grace.
Beale closed the service by urging all
those who attended to thank a veteran and
a trumpeter played Taps.

ore than 2,000 people from

across the United States and
around the world have participated in a wristband campaign launched
by the Anti Bully Squad, a volunteer-driven grassroots organization dedicated to
finding a permanent solution to bullying
through education, awareness and prevention.
People from the United States, Canada,

Historic Bell Rings At Netcong School Assembly After 93 Years
By Marge Cushing
n Thursday morning, May 28, the
entire student body of Netcong
School swarmed with excitement
into the sun-filled gym for a special assembly presided over by their principal, Dr.
Gina Cinotti to celebrate the return of a
piece of its history to the school.

Had it not been for the sensitivity of a

seven year old school boy 93 years ago,
the historic piece would have been forever
forgotten.
The year was 1922 and it was the last
day of school. As James Vincent Vince

curly hair was leaving the school yard at

the start of summer vacation when a wobbly old school bell that had for years been
rung to signal the start of the school day,
now thoughtlessly tossed into a trash bin,
caught his attention. Sensing that the worn
bell was special, Vince picked it up and
once having held it in his hands just could
not put it down. So began the journey of
the travelling school bell whose story was
to be told on this warm day in May as yet
another school year was drawing to a
close.
Cinotti lead the gathering in the salute
to the flag and then introduced the days
guests of honor: friend of the family and
retired English teacher, Alice Harrison;
Joan Morris and Diane Cece, daughters of
Vince Barbato who passed away at 97 in
2014; and Vinces younger brother
Anthony, one of Vinces six siblings,
known throughout his 92 years as Teddy.
When the bell was handed to Cinotti,
she could not resist giving it a good shake,
provoking a round of spirited applause and
cheers from the audience. A resident of
Netcong Borough with long time family
ties to the community, Cinotti was obviously delighted to accept the bell on behalf
of the entire community.
Netcong takes pride in its heritage and
its traditions, she said and went on to say
that the bell, which will have a place of
honor in the schools trophy case, will
serve to strengthen the connections
between this generation and future genera-
tions with those who preceded them.

Alice Harrison and Diane Cece, a published author of western fiction, addressed
the audience and read from The
Travelling Bell, a booklet they composed
and dedicated to the pupils and teachers
of the Netcong schools. The story is told
in a child-friendly manner and will be
available for purchase at the Kiwanis of
Lenape Valley table on Netcong Day in
September for a small donation.
It describes how Vince carefully carried
the old bell to his family home on North
Street, ignoring his brother, Ralphs opinion that he shouldnt bring it home
because Ma and Pa will just throw it out.
Vince responded that they would not throw
it out, adding, I treasure this little bell.
After cleaning the bell in the basement
washtub and taping its wobbly handle,
Vince gave it a few rings, wrapped it in
cheesecloth, tucked it into an old shoe box,
and hid it from view. There the bell
remained until Vince and Gertrude Rossi,
whom he married in 1941, brought the bell
with them when they moved to Nelson St.
in Dover, his wifes hometown, after his
discharge from service to his country in the
Army during World War II.
The bell remained in its box until the
couples next move in 1975 to a new house
on Robinson Ave. in Succasunna after his
retirement from Picatinny Arsenal in 1972,
where it remained in its shoebox on a shelf

in the garage. Years later, Diane said it
could have been in 2005, she paid a visit to
her parents and Vince suggested that he,
Diane and Gertrude go into the garage
where he carefully removed the old dustcovered shoe box from its resting place,
handed it to Diane and said, I know you
like antiques and you love history so I
want you to have this.
Opening the box and gently unwrapping its protective cheesecloth, Diane
uncovered the old bell, while her mother
admonished her father saying, Vince, that
worn old bell should have been discarded
years ago! Vince, however, stood firm in
his love of the bell and replied, This little
treasure has a wonderful history and its
time for everyone to know the story! He
told its story to his wife and daughter and
sent the bell home with a grateful Diane,
confident that she would take good care of
his boyhood treasure.
By that time, the old bell had spent 16
years hidden away in a shoebox on North
Street in Vinces boyhood home; 26 years
on Nelson St. in Dover; and 30 years or so

on Robinson Ave. in Succasunna. It then
remained in its box in Dianes garage on
College View Dr. in Hackettstown for a
while until one day it occurred to her that
Dads precious bell should not be tucked
away on a shelf, but should be seen and
heard.
The perfect spot, she decided, would be
on the desk of the replica of a one room
school house that her friend Alice had set
up at Wild West City, the nearby 1880s
theme park. At last, it was not only seen
and heard, but also restored to like-new
condition thanks to the expertise of Andy
Drysdale, a blacksmith at Waterloo Village
and curator of Shippen Manor in Oxford
who happened to notice that the bell needed attention while visiting Alices school
house.
Upon Vinces passing in 2014, followed
by his wifes passing later in the same year,
Alice suggested to Diane that it might be
time for the old bell to conclude its journey
home to Netcong School. Diane wholeheartedly agreed and when Alice proposed
the idea to Cinotti, a fellow Kiwanian, her

enthusiastic response was a resounding,
Oh, we would love to have that bell!
The assembly on May 28 celebrated the
completion of the bells journey while paying tribute to James Vincent Barbato, who
as a young boy intuitively sensed the value
of an artifact, a tangible object that con-
nects one to the past and brings history to

life. No longer will the bell be hidden
away, but will be seen, and hopefully on
occasion heard. Diane and Alice are also
to be commended for the role they played
in bringing home the bell. The legacy of
the bell is priceless and will long be cherished by the Borough of Netcong.

Hudson
Maxim
School
in
Hopatcong to perform for
the eager young readers
and
writers.
Hudson
Maxim teachers prepared
for his visit by having a
door-decorating contest
between all classes and a
gumball guess in the
library for students.
Heightening their experience, winners of the gumball guess enjoyed the
Author Luncheon with
Daryl Cobb! During his
two presentations, Cobb
sang and entertained the
children with nursery
rhymes and stories. He discussed how to develop an
idea into a tale, using pictures and personal anec-
dotes along the way. It was

a very interactive presentation, with the Hudson
Maxim community acting
out a version of his story,
Do Pirates Go To
School?
To conclude the program, the school even sang

a special pirate song to
Cobb. The visit was made
possible
through

Inaugural Meeting Highlights Fundraising At Landing Station
By Jane Primerano
craps of sheetrock still cling to the fieldstone and
the attic is open between the beams, but the Landing
Passenger Station is ready for use by the Lake
Hopatcong Foundation and the Lake Hopatcong
Historical Society.
The foundations membership meeting was held on
Fri., May 15, in the former waiting room of the station,
with folding chairs on the old tile floor.
With a standing-room-only crowd of nearly 100 people, the foundation board reported on fund raising activities that will help bring the old rail station back to life.
The foundation bought the building for $430,000, putting down $246,000. Estimates to restore the station to its
early glory are around $800,000, Foundation Trustee
President Martin Kane told the crowd.
Installing a tile roof to match the original will run about
$250,000, he said.
A representative forest green tile sat on a table in the
old pass through area of the station. Donors can buy a
tile for $50. Several asked if they could sign the bottom of
their tile before its installed.
Kane agreed that was a good idea, although their names
would be hidden.
Although the tile roof is the single most expensive
item, much other work is needed, Kane said. The floor in
the waiting area is in good shape, but a replacement floor

in the baggage room will need to come up. That room will
become the foundation office and modern wiring must be
installed for computers and telephones.
The staff will lose their wonderful view of Nolans
Point, Kane pointed out.
While the current foundation office has a great view, it
is small and borrowed from a foundation trustee. The baggage room will allow for eventual expansion from the
three-person staff.
New ceilings are also needed, Kane said, but he hopes
the ceiling in the baggage room can be left open around
the old cistern. The volunteers found the cistern when they
tore off the old ceiling and followed the piping to a fountain in the back of the station. Thats when the realized it
was a fountain and not only a horse trough. Two metal
cups hung on the fountain and a valve opened the gravity
feed to provide water to thirsty travelers. Kane noted modern standards of hygiene would frown on that.
The pass through is no longer open on both sides, but
will be used for exhibits and an information kiosk for
other organizations to display their brochures. The Knee
Deep Club, historical societies, Coast Guard Auxiliary
and other local groups will also use the meeting room,
Kane said.

There is no basement, Kane said, but
he assured the membership an attic can be
created.
Besides the tile sales, other fund raisers
are planned. The foundations major fund
raiser of the year is its gala to be held at the
Lake Hopatcong Yacht Club in mid-summer. Some major donations have come in,
including a $10,000 grant from the Kane
family and a $50,000 grant from another
lake family. In addition, a matching grant
will equal each donation up to $50,000.
Donna Macalle-Holly is applying for
grants from historic and other foundations
to raise the largest portions of the money.
She also continues to apply for environmental grants for water quality,
Foundation President Jessica Murphy said.
Trustee Bela Szigethy, who founded the

foundation four years ago, told the group
he modeled it on the Central Park
Conservancy which, in a partnership with
New York City has completely turned the
park around. He called the acquisition of
the Landing Station the next chapter in
the Lake Hopatcong Foundations journey.
The business meeting also included discussions about general lake issues, including the water chestnuts that have invaded
the lake but are being battled by the water
scouts.
The meeting was followed by a rent
party. An old coal bucket was ready for
donations and wine, beer, punch and sandwiches and fruit were available. Many of
the members remained to socialize and
admire the historic building.

Flowers Blooming At Hopatcong School
riday was a beautiful

day
at
Hudson
Maxim School in
Hopatcong!
Every child in the
school got to be a gardener
and plant flowers as part of
the school beautification
day. The wonderful part of
this grant is the cooperation
between parent volunteers;
Nesters Nursery, a local
greenhouse; teachers and
students.
A wide variety of flowering perennials were
planted around the school.
This gives a great sense of
pride to the students to be
able to watch a flower
grow and think I planted
that.
Prior to the planting,
teachers in the pre-kindergarten through first grade
school teach about the parts
of the plants and what their
needs are to grow. Twice a

year a Pride grant is written
by Judy Grogan, a first
grade teacher, through the
Hopatcong
Education
Association in conjunction
with the New Jersey
Education Association.
Netcong Fire Department Still Blazing After 110 Years
by Chelsea Opong-Wadeer
n Sat., May 16, Netcong,
Stanhope, Byram, Budd Lake, and
much more came together for the
110 anniversary of the Netcong Fire
Department Parade. Since 1905 the
Netcong Fire Department has voluntarily
served its community.
Other towns included, Randolph,
Roxbury, Berkshire Valley, Liberty Corner,
Burners Township, Schooleys Mountain
(Long Valley), Washington Township,
Mansfield, Greystone Park, Wharton, Mt.
Arlington, Mt. Tabor, Dover, Mine Hill,
Hackettstown, Hopatcong, Allamuchy, and
Lincoln Park.
The Netcong Fire Department at this
years parade honored Grand Marshall
Bob Rush. Rush was fire chief from 19761977 and became a member in 1954. The
department also honored Anthony Barbato,
92, who celebrated his 60th year on the
squad.
Netcong Assistant Fire Chief Warren
Slahor, in his second year as the fire chief
for Netcong, described his experience as
excellent. Netcong Fire Department is volunteer based and currently has 38 faithful
volunteers.
We continue to get many members,
Slahor said. We definitely have a strong
volunteer network here at Netcong.
He continued with the reason why some
other towns may not have received a high
volume in volunteers in the past is because
of regionalization. Regionalization is the
dividing of area into smaller sections. Due
to regionalization, according to Slahor,
other towns may not get as many volunteers because of the area they are located
in.
Some of the current challenges Slahor
and the department have faced since hes
been with Netcong has been sticking to the
budget. The fire department recently,
according to Slahor, had gone under budget caps due to maintaining equipment. He
hopes to improve this by monitoring the
budget more carefully.
Slahor said the community could be of
assistance to the fire department by being
proactive and following safety regulations
such as Making sure homes are up to date

with safety regulations, he said, such as
with their smoke detectors and utilize outside chimneys.
Overall the parade was a huge success,

parade. Snyder, a retired volunteer firefighter came out to observe the apparatus of the parade.
I had always wanted to be a firefighter
as a kid, Snyder said. So since I became
one I have always loved to come out and
see the other areas at these parades.
Vanessa Chang, local resident in the
area came out to support a friend of hers
who is a part of the force. She described
the parade as beautiful and a great day
for it.
The parade started at Main Street in

Netcong in route all the way to Allen
Street, ending at Arbolino Park. Many participated in the parade such as mothers,
their kids and their pets. At Arbolino Park
there was food and refreshments for all to
enjoy and even a live band performance by
the tri-state areas top wedding/corporate

The students learned about legends and

played games in the dark which showed
the human retinas sensitivity to light.
Day two brought the students an educational walk in the swamp, reaching as far
down as 20 feet deep, and a hike up to the
archery range. The students enjoyed the

beautiful outdoors while bonding with
each other and their counselors. The students spent the bus ride home singing all
the campfire songs, and continued to sing
them into the following week.

Musical Performance Award Does Not Skip A Beat For Byram Twp. Family
By Elsie Walker
f you look at the Herman L. Dash award plaque at Lenape Valley High School, one
name seems to keep popping up: Lefurge. Recently, another Lefurge name was
added to that plaque, Jeremy Lefurge.
Lenape Valley High Schools band director, David DiGrazia said, The Herman Dash
Award is given to a senior band member in memory of Herman Dash, who was the first
band director at Lenape Valley Regional High School. Since 1980, it is given for outstanding musical performance and leadership. Jeremy received this award because of all
the support he provided the band and the staff.
In Lefurge winning the award, a sort of family dynasty has come to the end. Lefurges
mother, Rosalie, received the first Herman Dash award in 1980. Her husband, Scott, won
in 1981; and in 2012, their older son, Zachary won it as well.
In addition, all four participated in the Sussex County Honors Band while at Lenape
Valley High School. For this Byram Township family, the gift for music not only runs
through them, but bonds them and touches the community as well.
Among Jeremy Lefurges musical accomplishments at the school was being selected
as the conducting drum major in the summer of 2014. He provided leadership and musicality for the marching band and DiGrazia said that they had a very successful season
with multiple first place finishes. Lefurge is also first chair alto saxophone in the symphonic band and the jazz band.
Jeremy said, Both of my parents are incredible musicians, and I wouldn't have been
nearly as enthusiastic about music if they hadn't been there supporting me. I only started
playing saxophone at their recommendations and I'm extremely glad that I did. To me,
the [Herman Dash] award is something more than just proof of my efforts in music in
Lenape Valley; it signifies that my family has been supportive and helped me reach the
same goal that they all had reached in the past. I'm extremely happy that I can lay claim
Scott, Rosalie, Jeremy and Zachary Lefurge all point at their names on the plaque denoting Lenape
Valley High School's Herman L. Dash award winners.
to the same honors that my parents and

older brother achieved.
These days, Rosalie, who plays clarinet,
keeps her hand in music by being part of
the Stanhope United Methodist Church
bell choir and performing at an annual
fundraiser. She notes that her encouragement of her childrens musical interests
translated into many hours of taking them
to rehearsals and performances.
Rosalie said, It gives me great joy to
Musical Performance Award...

see my children participate in musical activities. It has
enriched all of our lives.
For two of the Lefurges, music is a part of their everyday life. Scott, whose father was a music teacher and
band director, became a music education major at
Lebanon Valley College where he studied a variety of
instruments. While at Lenape Valley High School, he had
been inspired by Herman Dash to become a music teacher,
and he did just that. Scott is now finishing his 30th year
as the Instrumental and General Music [teacher] at
Bedminster Township School. At that school, he directs
band, orchestra, jazz band and the spring musical production.
Meanwhile, Zachary is a senior at Kutztown University
where he is in the commercial music program.
Zachary said, I study trumpet with Dr. Kevin Kjos,
who has studied with Bob Baca of University of
Wisconsin Eau Claire, and legendary trumpet teacher
William Adam of Indiana University. Dr. Kjos uses the
same teaching methods as Mr. Adam, focusing on sound.
Mr. Adam's students are well known players such as jazz
trumpeter Chris Botti, Charley Davis who plays on the
theme for the FOX TV show Family Guy, and many, many
more. Right now I am performing in Dorney Park's
Boogie Down Band. It's fun and a great playing experi-
ence. Long term, I would love to play on Broadway one

day in a pit, but honestly I'd just be happy teaching private
students and encouraging them to move forward and be
great musicians.
Ironically, the last of the Lefurge Herman L. Dash
award line, is the one not going into music as a career.
Jeremy plans to attend the Rochester Institute of
Technology for Computer Science.
He said, It's a little funny to me that I'm the last in the
Herman L Dash line of Lefurges and that I'll be pursuing
a non-musical degree.
Still, music continues to flow through this family and
that has been felt by the community.
DiGrazia said, The Lefurge family has been a huge
part of the Lenape Valley Regional High School music
program for many years. This year, when I took over as
Lenapes Band Director, the Lefurge family was there to
support me and the program once again. Scott Lefurge, a
music educator himself, was hired as the marching bands
color guard instructor and provides great experience for
our staff and band members. Rosalie Lefurge served as the
Band Parents Association treasurer and as a dedicated
band parent. Both Lefurges have worked or served with
the band as parents, board members, or instructors for
eight years.
Also, DiGrazia commented on how each member of
the family has won the Herman L. Dash Award. Its a

family commitment that has served Lenapes music program for generations. The music program would not be
the same without them.
Outside of the school, the family shares its gifts at
events such as the annual Mardi Gras pancake breakfast at
the Stanhope United Methodist Church; A fundraiser for
Hurricane Sandy Relief, Scott organizes the music portion
of the program which always includes performances by
his family members, including a jazz quartet number featuring all of them: Rosalie on clarinet; Scott and Jeremy
on saxophone, and Zachary on the trumpet.
Scott said, It is such a blessing and is so rewarding to
play jazz music with my wife and two sons at this event.
The family also plays for the churchs yearly jazz worship service. In addition, the older Lefurges are part of the
church bell choir where Scott is the director and Rosalie is
a bell ringer.
At Christmas, the men of the family have played carols
at the churchs Christmas Eve program.
Jeremy said, I feel very lucky to have such a talented
group of musicians surrounding me every day, and they've
all been amazing in helping me better myself as a musician as well. It's cool to be able to understand all of the
music-speak that we throw around.

wo cub scouts from Pack 93 in

Netcong received a special award on
May 22. Eric Winget and Matthew
Angell received the Dr. Luis W. Alvarez
Supernova Award. This award recognizes
superior achievement by a Cub Scout in the
fields of science, technology, engineering,
and mathematics (STEM). The boys worked
very hard for several months to earn this

award. They had to do science experiments,
learn about different scientists and their contribution to society, and earn multiple academic pins including math and science.
Matthew and Eric are the first Bear scouts,
and possibly the first overall scouts, to earn
this award in the Sussex District Council.
Young Thespians Present Commedia DellArte At The Growing Stage
By Jane Primerano
ost teenagers and pre-teens
probably never heard of
Commedia
DellArte,
including the 20 young thespians in the
Growing Stage Studio Series Presentation
this month.
But the pre-teens and teens gathered at
the beginning of tech week for Cinderella
with the Commedia Players and The
Commedia Robin Hood grasped the concept quickly.
As Commedia players Columbine,
Arlequin, Punchin, Rosetta, Scaramouche
and others, they pepper the story with their
slapstick and other shenanigans and their
silly squabble
Danny Campos, who started as an actor
at The Growing Stage in Netcong and is
now a director and marketing manager for
the non-profit theater is directing the two

plays. The Studio Series always features
young thespians from the community.
Running for more than 20 years, some
have attended the summer arts camp at The
Growing Stage. Others have performed in
the 12-week fall and winter sessions. Some
perform in their own schools, others have
never been in a play until this spring,
Campos said. The students involved range
from pre-kindergarten to high school.
Campos said 20 students is about average. He worked with 24 last year. He usually advertises for no more than 15 or 16
because there are always a few kids from
his acting classes he wants to give an
opportunity to some of them to audition.
A couple of the kids have never done a
show but I know what they are capable of,
Campos said.
Hopatcong Students Meet Author
he
Hopatcong
Education
Association was the proud sponsor
of the PRIDE Author Meet-andGreet Luncheon at the Durban Avenue
School on Wed., May 27.
Earlier this year, all students were
given the opportunity to submit an essay
for a chance to win a ticket to have
lunch with the author, Lisa Funari
Willever, following the school-wide
assembly that morning. Many students
entered and approximately two students
from each homeroom class were chosen
for this honor based on their essay. A total

of 20 students and their guests were invited to join other members of the community for a luncheon catered by Franks Pizza
in Hopatcong.
The luncheon provided guests time to
sit with and meet the author, ask questions
and take pictures.
A special thanks to Kristine Mendyk,
Ruth DeSalvia, Dawn Valle-Campo, and
Kristine Kester for all of their hard work
and dedication in making this event so
memorable.
Dalton Allison, a sophomore at Sussex Tech; Justin Watt of Warren Hills Regional High School,
and Haley Lang of the Lincoln-Roosevelt School in Roxbury Township, during a pause in rehearsal.
Its a puzzle, Campos said of the audition process.

The director is looking for a certain
piece that fits a particular role. A couple
of kids keep coming back. Its good for
them to keep getting out in front of people.
And well remember them.
Liz Piete of the Netcong Middle School
confirmed that. She has been coming to
Growing Stage plays for years and finally
auditioned. She didnt get the first one, but
she triumphed this time.
Justin Watt, a sophomore at Warren
Hills Regional High School in Washington,
said his mother told him about the acting
classes at The Growing Stage and after a
couple of years he started auditioning.
Dalton Allison of Byram Township,
who is studying culinary arts at Sussex
Tech, said hes known Justin from previous
shows and he suggesting trying out. Dalton
has been in Growing Stage productions for
six years.
Olivia Weintraub of the Mt. Olive
Middle School said she had never heard of
Commedia DellArte until the audition,
but she is enjoying it.
Campos said the show will start with an
explanation, since many people will be in
the same position as Olivia - not familiar
with the art form. The kids, standing in
front of the stage, will explain how it started in Italy and spread around Europe and
how it involves playing rather than acting.
Young people are the center of The
Growing Stages mission. The Main Stage
productions, with Equity actors and locals,
are geared toward children. Out of five
shows this year, four are musicals. The
fifth, The Book of D, is a premier of a
play that was part of one of two reading
series The Growing Stages holds annually.
One play from the readings is chosen for a
full production, Campos said.
The musicals are Really Rosie, the
Broadway version of A Christmas Carol,
the musical version of James and the
Giant Peach, and How I Became a
Pirate.
In addition, The Growing Stage is on the
registry of teaching artists which means
they send artists in residence to schools.
Campos has been working with Mansfield
Township Schools fifth grade for 12 days
after which the kids will put on a
Shakespeare play. He was an artist in residence in Jefferson Township Schools and
could go anywhere in the state.

Four Staff Members To Retire From Netcong School
etcong School will have four staff retirees in June

2015. All four staff members have been predominant figures in the Netcong School community.
"On behalf of the staff, parents, and students we wish
all four staff members a healthy and happy retirement,"
says Dr. Gina Cinotti, principal. "They each built a long
lasting reputation as educational professionals which will
live on in our school forever."
All four people committed themselves to Netcong
School for many years and we are forever grateful for
their efforts, says Kate Walsh, elementary supervisor.
On behalf of the Netcong Board of Education, I would
like to congratulate and thank all of our retirees for their
dedication and commitment to Netcong School, says
board president Bernadette Dalesandro. We would like to
thank Mrs. Valerie Becker, Mrs. Diane Flaherty, Mrs.
Diane Hajtovik, and Ms. Sandra Jensen for the many years
they dedicated to Netcong School. You each helped make
Netcong School what it is today. A good teacher can
inspire home, ignite the imagination, and instill a love of
learning.
Described as dedicated, impassioned, and professional,
Becker is known for her creative learning activities
involving totem poles, caramel apples, and butterflies. She
has given 25 years of exceptional service to Netcong
School.
I have enjoyed both living and working in Netcong for
many years, Becker said. I still enjoy working with all
of you and watching you grow. Teaching has always been
my passion! Soon, I plan to travel, read more, spend more
time enjoying life with my family, and working hard to
perfect my job as Grammy.
Always has a smile on her face, Flaherty is always

ready for a day filled with many learning activities which
are both fun and educational. For 21 years Flaherty
touched, guided, and loved the most impressionable of all,
five and six-year-olds. Her patience and compassion have
given so many a great start to their education.
Hajtovik has been a permanent figure in the Netcong
School Main Office for 28 years as she organized, coordinated, ran, and kept the office going through many, many
administrators. She is the reason Netcong School has such
smooth operations and procedures. Her bright smile and
cheerful demeanor are received by all who enter the

office. She is a celebrity to most.
With her extensive experience in theatre and sang professionally for more than 30 years, Jensen coordinates a
holiday and spring concert for Netcong School. Each year,
the crowd grows and grows, with more than 300 people
filling the Netcong School Gym. She works many hours
before and after school with Netcong School musicians
and singers, building up the musical program at Netcong
to what it is today. Her shoes will be tough to fill and she
will be missed by many.
Eighth Graders Attend Girls Night Out
ancing, yoga, and bonding a great time was had

by all at the First Annual Girls Night Out for
eighth grade girls held on Fri., May 8. Held in the
Hopatcong High School gymnasium under the direction
of Stephanie Martinez and Mary Ellen Fata, FIT leaders
and Future Teachers Academy students led the eighth
graders in a variety of activities and group discussions.
The event is intended to acclimate the younger students
with what to expect in high school while simultaneously
forming new friendships with the older students. In
between team building activities and a pizza dinner, small
group discussions occurred on topics including
culture/family heritage and traditions, time management
skills and self-esteem. In addition, girls were shown a
number of Dove Real Beauty video clips which generated
insightful conversations about beauty, positivity, peer
pressure and assertiveness.
Students eagerly participated in a Zumba demonstration, some spontaneous karaoke and then began to wind
down with a yoga relaxation exercise. Participating students and staff deemed the event a success and anticipate
continuing the program next year, possibly adding a separate event for eight grade boys.
Hopatcong Schools Represented At

Memorial Day Parade
The Hopatcong Marching Chiefs proudly marches in the Hopatcong Memorial Day Parade. Many
people along the parade route cheered loudly as the band performed a salute to the Military
Branches by playing a medley of their theme songs, in addition to the Hopatcong Chiefs popular
Warpath. The band also played the National Anthem at Veterans Park in the ceremony following the parade.
Netcong Board of Education

Appoints New CSA
he Netcong Board of Education has

selected a new Chief School
Administrator (CSA) to lead the district starting July 1. At its meeting on April
28, the board announced the choice of Dr.
Gina Cinotti as the CSA of Netcong School
pending the approval of her employment
contract by both the Board of Education and
the state Department of Educations
Executive County Superintendent.
Cinotti will serve a dual role, as superintendent and principal. Currently, Cinotti is
the principal at Netcong School, a position
she has had since Oct. 2014 . While
Netcong School has had a multitude of
administrators over the past 10 years,
Cinotti is a local resident so she has a vested interest in the community.
I have always been a driven person,
she says, who enjoyed helping educators,
parents, and students. When I took the principal position, I felt like I hit the lottery. I
still do! Each day I feel so lucky to have this
opportunity. My goals are to continue to
bring stability and consistency to the district, along with building trusting relationships with all stakeholders.
Netcong started the 2014-15 year off
with an interim part-time superintendent,
Pio Pennisi, who came to Netcong with a
substantial amount of experience and
knowledge about school and financial operations. He reorganized the budgetary issue
with Business Administrator Nicole
Sylvester, situating the district to be in good
shape for the 2015-16 school year.
Mr. Pennisi is an exemplary role model
for me. Cinotti says. He helped me experience a dress rehearsal this year for the
CSA position.
Cinotti recently completed her doctoral
degree at Seton Hall University, earning her
place in Kappa Delta Pi, the International
Honor Society in Education. She has earned
seven New Jersey certificates consisting of
school administrator, business administrator, principal, director of guidance, supervisor, school counselor and Mathematics.
Since her arrival, Cinotti has posted
weekly announcements on social media
posts, submitted weekly press releases,
maintained an administrative presence in
the building, supported teachers with their
instructional practices in implementing the
Common Core State Standards, prepared
staff for the PARCC assessment, and created a community career speaker program.

Who Was On The Mark On How The 21st Century Would Be

Powered - Thomas Edison Or Nikola Tesla
by Michele Guttenberger
oday there is renewed curiosity about who was the
best visionary of the 20th Century now that weve
entered the 21st Century. Which of these two legendary geniuses was it Thomas Edison or Nikola Tesla
who best predicated the worlds power technology for marvelous modern day living?
Retelling this legendary story of the battle of these two
rival inventors often presents embellished or misleading
facts that attempts to repackage history in a more composite way for todays popular appeal. The fact is that Thomas
Edison did not invent the light bulb. He made improvements to the incandescent bulb that its pioneering designer
(Joseph Swan) even admired. Thomas Edison made the
incandescent light bulb practical, economical and efficient
to get people to accept electricity as the source of power
that lit these bulbs. The electricity that Edison endorsed to
power these bulbs was DC - Direct Current and that is
where he came into conflict with his former snappy
employee Nikola Tesla.
The popular myth on Tesla was that he led the charge on
electrical current power. This is misleading because the use
of AC was used in medical devices long before Tesla was
even born. The earliest big discoveries and experiments in
electricity go to Michael Faraday which dates back to the
1820s. Nikola Tesla was the big power electricity sort of
thinker employed by Westinghouse to further advance AC
Alternating Current power as the way to modernize the
world. Think of miles of utility lines of power and this is the

transmission of Teslas AC Current. It is that big network
grid that connects power to every home in the US.
So Edison did not discover the light bulb and Nikola
Tesla did not discover AC power. Both men made phenomenal progress in their area of research and development.
What really separated Edison from Tesla was the application of these inventions. Here is where Thomas Edison
has a stronger connection to modern day living as we know
it today. Edisons research was done for practical benefit.
His vision was to bring safe electricity to the home that did
not cause a familys life to be at risk in using his home
inventions. There is more safety in using DC power even
though it cant go the distance. Edison did not think of
transmitting power over long distances. Edisons mind was
off the big power grid. He believed in local generating stations embedded in neighborhoods that served electricity to
each home. He even proved that a home could have its own
standalone generating station. Inside his own gated estate
community at Llewellyn Park, he purchased a standard size
family home in 1905 on Honeysuckle Ave in West Orange.
He made this house into a demo model home of electrification. The house had its own electric generating station. It is
here that Thomas Edison tested out the practicality of his
various new Edison household appliances, inventions, and
devices for his vision of the modern day family home. In
1912 he issued a newsletter to his employees that stated this
model home was installed with several new moving pic-
ture machines in the billiard room of this house. Can it be

said then that Thomas Edison promoted the first home theater concept that is now a trend in the 21st century.
When we flip the light switch to light our home, this is a
Tesla concept of AC power. When we recharge are battery
powered personal electronic devices we are using DC
power. So, we can say that PC users are in the Thomas
Edison state of mind on power.

Hopatcong Music Students Earn High Honors
n Mon., May 18, a select group of

sixth and seventh grade music students from the Hopatcong Middle
School attended the New Jersey TIME
Student Music Technology Expo at Rutgers
University.
The 45 middle school music students were
amongst five other high schools in attendance. The Student Music Technology Expo
is a science fair style event, which focuses on
student works. The day also included guest
presenters, a performance showcase for electronic music ensembles and hands-on music
technology playgrounds. While the Expo is
adjudicated, the primary focus of the event is
sharing and celebrating students creative
work in a supportive environment. Student
projects were submitted in advance and critiqued by professional musicians, composers,
and college professors providing individual
feedback directly to the students.
Amongst the five project categories,
Shawna Longo, Hopatcong Middle School
Music teacher, submitted students works in
the Original Composition and Covers,

Remixes & Loop-based Projects categories.
Of the 70 plus projects submitted from across
New Jersey, Hopatcong Middle School
Students received three bronze ratings, one
silver rating, and two gold ratings.
Gold ratings went to Madison Davidow
for her piece, I Just Cant Think of
Anything, which was composed using
Garage Band and included an original chorus
written by the student; and to Carter
Swanson for his original composition, The
Pilots Dream which was composed for solo
trumpet and piano accompaniment. Carter
Swanson also earned Best in Show for the
Intermediate Level.
Harrison Hadowanetz was voted Overall
Best in Show at the North Expo for his piece
The Champions while going up against all
of the high school-level projects.
Overall, the students enjoyed an enriching
day showcasing their works and experimenting with new ways to apply technology to
music.
Student Receives Leadership Award
he Morris County Superintendents

Middle School Leadership Award is
presented annually to a graduating
middle school student whose actions and
deeds represent a model of citizenship and
leadership in their respective school community.
Each district may select one student
from each middle school in their district to
receive this honor. Recipients should be a
student whose academic, extracurricular,
and community leadership has had a positive impact on their school environment
and who serve as role models for others.
This years ceremony took place at the
Hanover Marriot on Tues., May 5.
Netcong School selected Brendan
Abiskaroon as this years recipient. He
received a personalized plaque commemorating his award. Each recipient was
required to submit a recipient profile
describing themselves and their school
experiences and accomplishments.
We surveyed staff for their input on
our selection, says Dr. Gina Cinotti, the
school principal. The results were unani-
mous. Brendan is an exceptional person

both in and outside of the classroom. He is
