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.

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-
