help spotlight the commission in the community. Mayor Rosemary Maio said the aim was removing the damage from Hurricane Irene, the Halloween snowstorm of 2011 and Superstorm Sandy. The borough hopes to plant wildflower and eventually native trees on the site. The Mayor said it was important to have the area cleared before getting the grant for plantings. Borough Administrator Brian McNeilly said the borough applied for one of ANJECs pocket grants. These offer a maximum of $1,500. He said this would be the first step toward establishing a walking trail linking Furnace Pond to Salmon Memorial Park. McNeilly said the outflow of drainage from Main

creativity, originality, and physical fitness, and fail to provide a healthy break from other academic school work during their day. Board members were, in the end, pleased that about 150 members of the public showed up at the meeting, but did have to explain their reasoning behind the budget decision that many residents were not happy with. Board members said part of the reason behind reducing art and gym sessions (though a classroom, "health course" would replace one gym session) was partly to keep the budget lower. They noted that it could lessen the burden on taxpayers, sometimes seniors, struggling on a fixed income, for instance. The school board also noted that it was by no means a quick decision, nor was it cut and dry, with every board member easily agreeing. One board member said he felt he failed the public, upset with himself that he did not inform the residents in advance of the reductions, while another board member said after the meeting that, with language

By Ejvind Boccolini he Netcong Board of Education held a public meeting on May 28 to speak to residents about budget decisions to reduce art and gym sessions for students each week, while Stanhope Public School works out traffic and parking issues in recent days. Residents in Netcong were upset they were not informed in advance about the school board's decision to reduce art and gym classes - saying that it would negatively affect students'

arts scores so low, he preferred reducing the art and phys. ed. classes over other subjects. Another board member said fourth graders already have the number of sessions per week that other grades are being reduced to - so, they will not be experiencing a difference. During the meeting, board president Bernadette Dalessandro addressed the public, and took comments from the public. The residents who attended the meeting to continued on page 10

continued from front page He said the environmental commission is practicing stewardship on public lands. Nobody ever touched this, he said, adding it is full of multi-flora rose and bittersweet. A couple of mulberry trees were nearly killed by the bitterstweet, Regalo said. He said when the work is complete the walking trail will link to the basketball court at Route 183. The environmental commission hopes to receive assistance from the Go Green Club at Lenape Valley High School to build the bridge and possibly from a science class at Stanhope School to plant upland meadow mix and other native grass and wildflowers, Regalo said. It is essential to maintain the riparian buffer and keep geese from discovering the pond. The stone used on the drainage structure was all donated by Saxon Falls Sand and Gravel, Regalo said. He said even if the borough fails to secure the grant, the land can be seeded. Beth Styler-Barry, executive director of the Musconetcong Watershed Association, visited the site last week because Furnace Pond drains into the river. Styler-Berry said she received a call saying the work was detrimental to the steep slopes between the

historic Plaster Mill and the pond. Restoration is going to be a slow process, Maio said. That could be a problem, according to Dave Peifer of ANJEC. The dry season is coming up, he said. The ideal time for tree planting is in the fall. He said it is essential to get ground cover in very quickly. Once it gets dry, any plantings will have to be watered he said. Styler-Berry echoed that. I understand grasses will be sown right away to stabilize the soil, she said, adding new plantings are needed now. However, she added, Long-term this is a good project, Brian Morrell of the Musconetcong Foundrymans Historical Society expressed concern artifacts relating to the mill or the nearby Morris Canal were disturbed by the project. Regalo said nothing was turned up by his work. He said long-time resident Donald Drake whos grandfather had a nearby woodshop many years ago told him a Mr. Greene used to have a vegetable garden on the edge of Furnace Pond which probably would have turned up any artifacts. The second question is whether all the work is being done on borough land. Morrell said it appears to encroach on prop-

erty within the National Register Historic Districts of Furnace Pond and the Morris Canal. Maio said it is entirely on borough land. State Department of Environmental Protection spokesman Larry Ragonese said the DEP is not sure where the borough prop-

erty ends and the states begins, but they are researching that. Peifer said ANJEC has two maps with conflicting information on where the borough land ends, so is now allowing the state to do the research.

have. A volunteer driven community program has been active in Northwest New Jersey for the past two years. Called the Life Book Writing Project, it matches volunteers with community members who wish to record their life experiences. The program is free of charge and aims to capture ones history by having volunteers conduct oral interviews with seniors and transcribing them into a bound Life Book. Our older seniors have lived through some of the most dramatic events in world history. To lose that firsthand account of history would be wasting a valuable resource that we would never get back says Nancy Hess, Director of Skylands RSVP, a Rockaway based volunteer resource center. RSVP is part of a national program sponsored locally by NORWESCAP, a community action program active in Northwest New Jersey The interviewers, using digital voice recorders loaned to them by the organization, are trained in interviewing skills and in working with older adults. The next training for volunteer interviewers/writers is scheduled in Morris County. The training provides the volunteers with questions to ask as well as tips for active listening. Each completed book is presented as a gift to the senior. Some give these memoirs to family members, others

plan to donate them to the local library or historical society, and some just want to hold onto them as a reminder of their life. One recipient was so pleased with the result that he considered self publishing his Life Book. Amazing historical stories are locked into the memories of many of our seniors. Its especially wonderful when these are unlocked for family and friends. Not too long ago a grateful recipient wrote a letter to the volunteer after the completion of the Life Book. The note read in part: I want you to know how much I appreciated your help and guidance with my biography. You made a mostly uneventful life book more interesting than it was. It will not make it to the NY Times Best Seller List, but it will make it into the hearts of an appreciative family, friends and me. Training for new volunteers who want to put their interviewing, writing and editing skills to use in the community will take place at Skylands RSVP's office in Rockaway.

This year we are very happy to be a part of a nationwide program called "Wheels to Prosper." This program awards a fully serviced car to a worthy and deserving person chosen from the local community. Recommendations are taken for individuals that are locally active in community service and then one lucky individual is chosen from those suggestions. They receive a late model car that has been fully inspected and repaired as needed. Our car giveaway will take place at our annual customer appreciation day on July 27th, 2013. We'll be doing clambakes, horseshoe tosses, games, tons of food, live music and many more fun activities down at our shop. See you there!

Did you know that on average most vehicles will lose up to 15% of their refrigerant gas each year? Much of this loss occurs when your AC system has not been used for extended periods of time, such as over the winter. So if your automobile does NOT feel cold enough, then it may need some routine maintenance, such as recharging the refrigerant, normally a very simple and easy item to take care of. Give us a call to set up a time and well be happy to take a look.

continued from front page speak out, mostly disagreed with the decision to reduce art and gym sessions. They thought that students experiencing the reduction would be negatively affected. Some said 'go ahead and raise taxes a bit to prevent the reduction of these classes.' Some members of the public were upset also that they did not know about the decision until it was made. One resident asked how much money is needed to reinstate the full art and gym class schedule, and was given the answer of about $60,000. She then asked how it could be raised and challenged the public to possibly try to achieve this. Gym class sessions will be reduced from 2 per week for each student, down to 1 per week for each student. In the classroom, "health"-type physical education classes be phased in. Art class sessions will be reduced from 2 per week for each student, down to 1 per week for each student. Certain grades are already experincing the lesser amount of sessions, so they will feel no change. One member of the public complemented the art teacher, Eileen Cook, by asking the audience to look at the paintings and drawings posted on the wall of the gymnasium, where the board of education meeting was held. Parent Tara Donnelly, who spoke at the meeting, said she was upset she did not hear about the decision until after it was made by the school board and called them "corrupt." She said she was upset because the human interaction and activity involved with art and gym classes is what children need - "not computers." They need art to express themselves, said Donnelly, who noted that she was inspired by Art Teacher Eileen Cook in Netcong Elementary School when she was growing up. Also, groups of students spoke at the meeting, noting that reducing the gym and art classes help inspired them and give them a break from the intense school work they have each day. Board member Todd Morton said he believes the board "failed the public" by not informing them, and added that "I don't feel good about this." Some audience members asked why the board did not just go to the 2 percent cap, while board members near the end of the meeting, after much of the public left the premises, said that they needed county approval to even go to the one percent cap, and reminded audience members that some seniors, who do not even have children in the school system, are struggling to pay taxes. Eileen Cook, art teacher for 35 years at Netcong Elementary School, also spoke at the meeting, and was upset that her art class sessions were reduced. "What I do matters," she said. "What I do is needed." "I am passionate about what I do and what I teach," she said, asked that everyone please support art teachers, and she received a standing ovation. Cook will still work full-time, but her art teaching duties will be reduced, as she will now teach other courses. Cook said at the meeting that "I do take it personally," that her sessions were reduced. She added that the board of education is making a grave mistake. She said in her class kids learn life skills, and how to perservere, how to create, and how to be original. Cook said through arts classes students learn how to cope, and how to ask for help. She asked, "Am I any less of a teacher?" She said she helps the innovators and inventors in society, adding that the arts have a crucial impact on the economy. Resident Karin Bond said she was at the previous board of education meetings and there was no mention of the reducing of art and gym classes. Bond said that because of this, there is "not complete transparency," with respect to the board of education. In related news, Dalessandro said rumors that there is money missing from the budget are untrue. "We know where all of it is," said Bernadette, adding that she does not know how these rumors start. An unrelated topic was that the board is waiting for grant money from the state, and Dalessandro said she is "embarrassed" and upset by this. One resident, Pat Marsico said, "ok, your humility is appreciated." In other news, Dalessandro thanked Netcong Police Chief James Blesson, for making the department so "visible" in the schools, and noted that this program is a great things. Dalessandro said police often come into the schools and do a "walk through," and said of the department that, "they're very receptive to it." In other local school news, Stanhope Public School is working on traffic and parking issues and is doing quite well with corrective measures. Interim Chief School Administrator Robert McCann posted a letter to parents on May 23 at http://www.stanhopeschools.org/ with regulations that were to go into effect on May 28 to aid in the safety of students during arrival and dismissal times. McCann said in a phone interview last week that "I've had a lot of positive comments," regarding the new regulations and added that he is "very happy with the support that the school has gotten from the parents." McCann said the new process, which includes the new rule that the "parking lot will be closed off for incoming traffic at 2:15 - there will be no exceptions," has turned into a good pattern and routine. Gliches had to be worked out on the the first few days, Mccann said, as with anything new, but he added that he is happy with the success and positive comments and suggestions from parents. Members of the public who are affected by this should read the letter on the website that outlines the new rules. Please stay tuned for more local school news in the future, and teachers or administrators can email this reporter at ejvind08@yahoo.com.

Miss NJ Preview Raises Money for Local Causes

shared that she is a volunteer at the Liberty Science Center and this summer, shell be interning at Picatinny Arsenal where she will be a STEM Motivational Coach for its DOTC/STEM Education Office. The other titleholders, Miss NJ Contestants, also told the audience a little about their platforms and entertained. Every contestant must have a platform, a cause which she embraces and supports. For some, their causes showed through during the talent portion of the program. During her dance to Adele's "Make You Feel My Love, Ellen Chus (Miss Monmouth) hands were quite expressive, especially in making the sign for love. Chus platform is overcoming obstacles. She is hearing impaired and wears a hearing aid on each ear; she shared how she even missed a cue, because she didnt hear it, when previously competing in the Miss NJ competition. However, that doesnt stop her. Chu has an IT degree and works for Johnson and Johnson; she noted that the company has been very supportive of her efforts in conjunction with her platform. Throughout her tap dance and brief platform description, Miss Gateway, Krysten Moore, shined. She shines outside of pageant life, too. As the founder of Students Helping Instill New Esteem (SHINE), she takes the message of the harm of bullying and the need to raise childrens self-esteem to schools and other venues. She has appeared on Rachel Ray and Extreme Makeover Home Edition in promoting her platform and organization. A self-proclaimed nerd, Moore has interned at NASA and has recently taken a position as a Systems Engineer at Rayethon For the talent portion of the program, she performed to Do Your Thing by Basement Jaxx.

by Elsie Walker t might not have been the Jersey Shore, but the talent and poise displayed by those on stage made the audience feel that they were having a preview of the Miss Jersey Pageant. The early June event was a luncheon and talent show held at the Stanhope United Methodist Church to raise money for the church and for the Miss Gateway Scholarship Fund. A total of $485.00 was raised. In addition to the Miss New Jersey contestants present, on hand was 16 year old Samantha Rizzuto from Long Valley, Miss Libertys Outstanding Teen. Rizzuto started the performances with an English version of In Uomini, in soldati (from the opera Cosi Fan Tutti). that brought the house down. However, she showed there was another side to her as she shared her platform of Balancing the Equation which promotes STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics) Education in elementary and middle school students. Rizzuto explained that the job market in these areas is growing, but there are not enough people encouraged to go into these fields. Rizzuto shows children the fun of these fields through hands-on exercises. Also, her love of this area goes beyond the classroom. She

Dancing to her self-choreographed piece, I believe, was Miss Cape Shore, Cierra Kaler-Jones. It was clear KalerJones had a passion for what she was doing; it is a passion that translates into her platform: Empowering Todays Youth through Arts Education. I grew up dancing, she explained.

continued from previous page her schoolwork. Now, Kaler-Jones wants to help children get those benefits from the arts. In 2010, she founded The Arts Empowerment Project, which offers free weekend arts workshops and summer camps to at-risk students. Her program deals with children ages 5 12 in and around her town of Galloway. In addition, Kaler-Jones is a Girl Scout Troop leader. Miss Tri-County, Nicole Washington, performed an energetic tap number that was in strong contrast to her very serious platform: adoption reform. A graduate of Seton

Hall, Washington has spoken in front of the New Jersey State senate on the issue. She is working with NJ Care to try to get adoptees access to crucial information such as medical history. Adopted herself, Washington shared how her adoptive mother had to be reactive when it came to her health since there was no history to know what to expect. It was shared that fate must have made Washington Miss Tri-County as she and the director of that pageant, Sharon Rosequist, have something important in common: both were adopted. Besides the event showcasing some of

the Miss Jersey contestants, it also helped two good causes in both funds raised and outreach. Fundraisers that offer something to the community serve the church in two ways. We get a source of income that enables us to continue to be in ministry and at the same time the community has an opportunity to see who we are beyond just Sunday worship. It shows our support of scholarship programs and our willingness to offer programs that the community might be interested in, but not seen by some as "churchie."

Krysten Moore, Miss Gateway, shares her platform and tells about the SHINE (Students Helping Instill New Esteem) program.

Even in fundraising you can seek to serve the community, said Rev. Tom Kinter, pastor of the Stanhope United Methodist Church. A fundraiser such as this means exposure to the community and additional public awareness of the Miss New Jersey / Miss America Foundations, said Sharon Rosequist. Since the local pageants do not have corporate sponsors, event like the talent luncheon fund the scholarships given to title winners.

Page 22, June 2013, Tell Them You Saw It In The Musconetcong News This July, Macculloch Hall Historical Museum presents its Summer Series of live music in the historic gardens. Programs take place at 4pm each Sunday in July. The gardens were restored in the 1950s by the Garden Club of Morristown and visitors will have the opportunity to explore through a variety of summer blooms in the gardens and relax on the large lawn during the program. Guests may bring picnics, and are encouraged to bring blankets or chairs and settle back for a late afternoon of great music in a lovely setting. On Sunday, July 7th Macculloch Hall Historical Museum welcomes musician and songwriter Collin J. Rocker. With gritty tradition, Collin turns timeless themes of heartbreak, the road, and the past into songs suiting todays common man. He has the makings of a great American songwriter. With his superb guitar playing, he is the whole package, wrote Rock & Roll Hall of Fame member Jorma Kaukonen (Jefferson Airplane, Hot Tuna). His music is born from the hills of beautiful lingering farms, and once thriving small towns, juxtaposed with strip malls, asphalt, and suburban sprawl. In February 2010, Collin entered the studio to record his debut album "Milkbox Love, Jukebox Blood, & Other American Favorites". Since releasing the record, Collin has performed alongside national acts such as Jorma Kaukonen (Hot Tuna), Rory Block, and The New Riders of The Purple Sage on a number of legendary stages. During the summer of 2011, Collin opened shows for Grande Ole' Opry Member Marty Stuart & His Fabulous Superlatives in Sellersville, PA as well as performing with Acoustic Hot Tuna at Skipper's Smokehouse in Tampa, FL. In 2012 he opened for John Hiatt in Pennsylvania. Hub Hollow returns to the Macculloch Hall garden on July 14th after two tremendously popular summer performances at the Museum. Drawing on bluegrass, rock, & old time music, Hub Hollow has been described as a new kind of old-time music. Their beautifully blended vocals and intricate melodies reflect a lifetime of creating music together. United in their desire to create hard-hitting, interesting acoustic music, the members of Hub Hollow have been playing together, in different configurations for almost 20 years. Blending rock & bluegrass, old time & blues, members have enjoyed success on both coasts at many notable venues, including both Telluride and Grey Fox music fes-

Thomas Edison The Dad Allowed Electric Shock Toys And Home Fireworks
Edison admirers want to peer into the personal history of his family life along with the history of his great inventions. What these personal articles have rendered was that the Edison Family enjoyed using prank toys on their guests and igniting small explosives for entertainment. The NPS curators have helped present the fun mischievous side of the Edison Family by displaying these items to the public. Mina Edison supported these activities for her family in the late 1890s. She added the Electric Thriller to the Christmas Toy list. The Electric Thriller was an electric shock toy. The park curators have showcased this item as part of the Christmas Holiday exhibit collection. Thomas Edison had a legendary childhood history for accidentally exploding things such as - vacant train cars and the family basement room from his novice chemistry experiments. This continued into his adulthood when he attempted to invent a gun-powder powered engine for a helicopter. It became a scrapped project when this invention exploded inside his factory lab. Still, his dangerous reputation with explosives did not deter him for having his own familys stash of fireworks for the July 4th celebration which he stated was his favorite holiday. Madeline, Charles and Theodore were Edisons younger children from his second wife Mina. They got to have memo-

Many of the familys personal letters, records and diaries have been preserved and even scanned, categorized and electronically archived by the dedicated Thomas Edison Papers Project team at Rutgers University (edison.rutgers.edu). The other curators of his home and home furnishings have come under the care of professional National Park Service ranger curators. The NPS West Orange Glenmont home has also received great private community support from The Friends of Thomas Edison (foedison.org) to preserve the artifacts that belong to Edisons personal family history. Time has lost the local West Orange, NJ residents that would give firsthand accounts of social interactions by the Edison family. However, there is a wealth of family items left behind that we can still sense the spirit and personality of Thomas Edison, Mina Edison and their three children growing up in the West Orange estate home.
