Pajama Drive Good Fit For Local Elementary School
By Cheryl Conway here is nothing quite as cozy as cuddling up in pajamas with a good book on a cold, wintry day. Thanks to the school community at Hudson Maxim School in Hopatcong, 111 more individuals may get to do the same. For the past three years, the Hudson Maxim School has been participating in The Pajama Program, One Million Good Nights, partnered with Scholastic Books, Carters and Sprout. The goal of the program is to provide one million new pairs of pajamas and one million new books to children in need. During the month of November 2013, 276 students at the Hudson Maxim School- grades pre-school through first along with teachers and staff, collected 111 new pairs of pajamas and 45 new books to help needy children in the Sussex/Morris County area. Bringing in pajamas brought smiles even to the youngest givers. When the students brought in their pajamas to donate, You could see the

big smile on their face, says co-organizer Cindi Parello, first grade teacher at Hudson Maxim School. Or when they brought in a book, they would say This is my favorite book.
Parello kept one of the collection boxes in her classroom. You can see when the box got filled, how excited they would get. Kids would be so excited and say thankyou when students from oth-
ers classes would walk into her classroom and put donations in their box. Even three-year olds were so happy to put pajamas in the box. continued on page 6

amie Gambuzza is certainly a Teacher Who Rocks. She is my Reading Specialist/ Academic Skills teacher at Hudson Maxim School in Hopatcong and has brought our remediation program to new heights. She is truly passionate about teaching, making teaching students to read her top priority. She spends countless hours thinking of different ways to help students learn to read, as she recognizes that each student has different needs. On a professional level, she is what every principal needs and treasures within a building. She acts as a support to her fellow colleagues, guiding them with reading techniques and strategies.

Mrs. Gambuzza truly enjoys her job and can be witnessed laughing and having fun with her students. Her
most recent effort to show the importance of reading included organizing a pajama drive within our school. However, this event wasnt only about pajamas. It was of course related to Reading. For every pair of pajamas that our school community donated, Scholastic donated a book to a needy child. I wish all
of you could have witnessed the excitement on Mrs. Gambuzzas face when our 100th pair of pajamas was sent into Hudson Maxim School. It is this enthusiasm and dedication to students that makes HER Absolutely Rock! Thank you, Mrs. Gambuzza. You are a Rock Star at Hudson Maxim School.

Students Create Puzzle To Symbolize Good Character

zle pieces is just one of the ways students have been sharing their message. Next to the puzzle reads: Each piece of this puzzle represents the unique and diverse characteristics of each student at the Durban Ave. School. We discovered that joined together, we all belong. We are the C.U.R.E., the Children United to Respect Everyone. Students had been working on the puzzle pieces since October as a kick off to the Week of Respect celebration, says Lynott. Students decided what their individual piece would represent. Some chose talents or interests such as sports, fashion, horseback riding, cheering, music, games, cooking or scouting. Others used personal mottos like Believe in yourself; or Respect is a beautiful thing. Some puzzle pieces represent heritage symbols from areas such as Korea, Germany, Ireland, Haiti, Italy, Native American and American. Others display values such as family, religion, friendships, teamwork or helpfulness. The completed puzzle is now a part of the Durban Ave. school permanently displayed and enclosed in plexus glass. The teachers and staff at the Durban Ave. School dedicate time to the importance of appreciating differences in others and respecting that, although we come in all shapes and sizes, we all fit perfectly into one great big puzzle. According to Lynott, the school has always had a character education program. Lewis Benfatti, the school principal, introduced the evidence based Character Counts Program last year. The program includes standards-based lesson plans. This year we expanded our program and decided to have a motto, so we named the program Character Counts: Know It, Show It. Sections of our school are known as Respect Way,
Like us on facebook www.facebook.com/mypaperonline Tell Them You Saw It In The Musconetcong News, January 2014, Page 3 Responsibility Ave., etc. No one gets lost; everyone is included, because we follow the signs of good character. Large banners naming each Pillar of Character can be seen next to the Character Street Signs. Other activities have included Character Counts Cards in which students wrote Prescriptions for Getting Along With Others. Students drew life-sized silhouettes, which line the hallways, in action poses of children with speech bubbles filled in with words to show respect, solve conflicts peacefully or express disagreement in a non-violent manner. Each student created raps, songs, poems on the theme: The Real Me Is Drug Free. Service projects have been organized such as local community food drives; students sent cards, poems and decorations to an Army Unit, part of the Forward Operating Base Apache, in the Zabul Province in Afghanistan. The students have been learning about citizenship in Social Studies and have also been discussing selfless service and how it related to our week of respect at Durban Avenue School; Sussex County Toy Drives; Poster contests involving a character related focus such as citizenship. Assemblies have been held that promote character. Officer Dave spoke on how to promote a safe and positive lifestyle; Seeing Eye puppy raiser, Mrs. Filak, Office ESP, spoke to promote responsibility, citizenship, trustworthiness, caring; Dwayne West former professional football player spoke about a Bound for Greatness. Our commitment to building a school community that cares initiated the program, says Lynott. Our principal, Mr. Benfatti provides the leadership. As he would say, Its all about teamwork.
By Cheryl Conway tudents of Durban Avenue Elementary School in Hopatcong are learning that, like pieces in a puzzle, every individual is unique and important. As part of its character education program this year, all 256 students at the school created a giant puzzle by designing pieces of their own to represent their individual characteristics and interests. The puzzle, which measures six feet by six feet, is permanently mounted on the wall by the main office. This years character education program at the elementary school for fourth and fifth graders carries a slogan, Character Counts: Know It, Show It. Students have been participating in various activities throughout the school year that support kind acts and show respect for others. We build on our Character Counts program each year, says Dr. Donna-Jean Lynott, Durban Avenue Elementary School Counselor for the past 20 years. Our goal is that we form a positive school climate where everyone is accepted. Everyone is an important piece, is valued and expected to contribute to our welcoming environment. Lynott and the students have been discussing the Six Pillars of Character as a way of life. The Six Pillars of Character are part of a nationwide character education program published by the Josephson Institute. The Six Pillars of Character are Respect, Trustworthiness, Responsibility, Fairness, Caring, and Citizenship, says Lynott. These pillars have been part of this years curriculum in a variety of subjects such as Language Arts, Social Studies and Physical Education. At the Durban Ave. Elementary School, this character education program runs throughout the school year. Creating puz-

Giving a new pair of pajamas and a good book, two things the children can relate to, Pulls at their heart strings a little bit, says Parello. Its a great program, continues Parello. It supports learning and community involvement. It helps the kids make a connection with their community especially at Christmas time. Its about giving. Were not talking about what were going to get but what were going to give. It helps build their character. Suzanne Annette, first grade resource room teacher and other co-organizer, supports the program for the young students and says its a great idea for them to learn that people need help. They left feeling really good that they can help out other children. To show appreciation to her students and reward them for their kindness, Hensz allowed the students to wear pajamas on Monday, Dec. 23, 2013, and were treated to a special story-time, chocolate milk with marshmallows and a visit from a snowman and gingerbread man. Having the story-time was a thank-you to the students for spending their money to donate. What a fun way to get the community and the kids involved, says Parello. It also supports learning and what they tell the students: to read and share a good book. By wearing pajamas to school and reading a book. They just connect to it so much more. At the story-time, the students acted out and read Gingerbread Man Loose in the School and Snowmen at Night. All students gathered together, read and acted out stories, says Parello. They cuddled up with their friends in their pajamas.
continued from front page On Dec. 16, 2013, first grade academic skills teacher Jamie Gambuzza- another co-organizer, delivered the pajamas and books to the Child and Family Resources center in Mt. Arlington, which then distributed the items to the local people in need. The sizes of the pajamas were from infant to adult; and books were for readers from children to young adults. A National program- The Pajama Program, One Million Good Nights- was founded by Genevieve Piturro of New York in 2001 to help create a warm and nurturing environment for youngsters living under difficult circumstances. Many go to bed wearing their street clothesor wearing nothing at all, as stated on the website. Carters Children Stores collected for the program in their shops donating more than 100,000 pairs of pajamas in 2013; and Scholastic Books also partnered in the program by donating hundreds of thousands of new children and young adult books. Hudson Maxim School Principal Tracey Hensz says her school participates in the program annually to support literacy and support needy families around the holidays. She likes the idea of a pajama drive because she says There is a little bit of comfort when you are in a pair of pajamas. Students relate comfort to warmth. Students enjoy wearing different kinds of pajamas especially when they are so little. Teachers agree that the program is a great fit to their youngsters. Were always teaching our children about community awareness, says Parello. What better way then to do that by putting books in the hands of needy children. Were always telling the kids to get comfortable and cozy up with a book. Kids love to stay in their pajamas. They love to get

Kittatinny took the lead during the 1st period with a goal from captain Tim Johnson. During the second period captain Daniel Snape scored to further Kittatinny's lead to 2-0. Arlington rallied to come from behind and tied the score, 22, at the end of the 2nd period. Kittatinny was determined to secure the win and did that with another goal from Tim Johnson, bringing the score to 3-2 in the 3rd period.

Durban Avenue Elementary School Christmas Around the World
he students of Mrs. Strzepeks class have been studying explorers in social studies to expand on their study of the world and to introduce informative essays. The class researched the Christmas traditions of countries around the world. The students were allowed to choose any country they wanted. Some chose a country to represent their heritage and others chose countries they were most interested in. In an effort to target computer literacy skills along with evidence that supports
their research, the students worked hard to research the various traditions of the countries in the computer lab. The students were then instructed to write a three paragraph essay and cite their sources. The students looked up the flag of the country they chose to include with their report and displayed their work proudly on the bulletin board outside their classroom. Mrs. Strzepeks class and all of Durban Avenue Elementary school wish both you and your families a Happy New Year!
Local Artist to Show Works at Church Fundraiser
By Elsie Walker hey say that pictures tell a story. The images in Carol Barrys banners certainly do that. However, unlike the traditional types of banners which are fabric, these are paintings. Barry, a Byram resident and a retired Mt. Olive Township art teacher, has created works which recall stories from the Bible as well as works which challenge people to think about the world and faith. Barry will be showing and talking about her works at a fundraising dinner on February 1st at 5pm at Stanhope United Methodist Church at #2 Route 183 Main Street in Netcong. Tickets are $5 per person and can be obtained through program coordinator Sharon Rosequist at 973-527-4927 or the church office at 973-3470247. Funds raised will benefit the church. The banners that Carol Barry paints are a beautiful pictorial rendition of the Bible. They are absolutely beautiful, and each one is very unique. Each time you look at them, you notice something that you did not see before, and they are very thought- provoking. She is a very talented artist, said Rosequist, a Netcong resident. Barry has been painting banners for about 20 years. She was inspired by the artwork shed seen in small churches and cathedrals around the world. She saw the inspiration that artwork can give others and wanted to do something for her church, the First Presbyterian Church of Stanhope. What resulted was a series of banners done on a type and size of paper that makes it easily portable. Encouraged by others, she has started to show her work at other churches. Barry will be showing two of her most recent works at the fundraising dinner: What Gifts Are in Your Hands? and a pictorial walk through the Old and New Testament. continued on next page
During the February 1st art program, Byram artist Carol Barry will share the inspiration behind her "gifts" work.
Local Artist to Show Works...

continued from previous page [What Gifts Are In Your Hands] leads to a discussion about all the gifts God gives to each one of us, said Barry. [The one depicting] a walk through the old and new testaments - starts with the trinity taking part in creation. It includes some of the major stories that I also have in two other paintings, but also highlights many other events. It ends with the New Jerusalem," shared Barry. I set the painting up, discuss the inspiration for the theme and the design, and then go through the images. I usually get questions and comments during and afterwards. I love sharing my work and especially enjoy their reactions. I have not aggressively sought places to go, but God is opening doors. I rather leave it to Him, Barry said. A question Carol Barry frequent hears is, how long did it take you to do that? Looking at Barrys artwork, it is not surprising that people ask, though the answer may be more surprising. The thought process takes the most time, said Barry. She notes that it may take up to a year for an idea to become fully formed in her mind, though the actual painting takes far less time. Barry doesnt work from sketches; the paintings themselves form concretely in her mind. While enjoying Barrys works and the dinner, those attending will also be helping the Stanhope United The Methodist Church. funds raised will go to the general account of the church to help it with its everyday operating expenses. However, the funds are not the only benefit. The Rev. Tom Kinter, pastor of the church, shared, A fundraiser like this event helps the church in a couple of ways beyond just raising funds. It is a time of fellowship and invitation for the community and church to come together. So, we always have good food at church events. We have time to just to be with people. [Its] a great time for the community to join the church in a relaxed setting and to get to know one another.

by Elsie Walker n February 1st, from 10am to 4pm, the word on eveyones lips in the Meeting Hall in Olde Layfayette Village will be lace. It is the 29th annual Lace Day, presented by the Lost Art Lacers of North Jersey. For many people, lace is something that you buy from the store, readymade, and add to items such as handkerchiefs, wedding gowns, and valentines to give them a special look. However, the lacers are keeping alive the tradition of making handmade lace. And, through Lace Day demonstrations, exhibitions, try me tables and workshops, they will be sharing that tradition with children and adults.( Workshops will be held on February 2nd as well as the 1st. Pre-registration is needed for all workshops. See the links at http://www.lostartlacers.org/events.htm for details.) Lace making supplies may also be purchased at the event. The event is open to the public. Olde Lafayette village is located at the intersections of Routes 15 and 94 in Lafayette. There are many varieties of lace and many uses for it as will be seen on Lace Day, through the work and efforts of members of the Lost Art Lacers of North Jersey. Dotty Wolfe, of Stanhope, has created pieces of jewelry and embellished collars with her lace. Wolfe got into lacemaking at the encouragement of a neighbor who was a lacemaker and wanted to keep the tradition
alive. Wolfe has done that and quite well. She has won many ribbons at the New Jersey State Fair for her work. Much of what she does is tatting. Tatting is a lace made by looping and knotting thread on a small hand shuttle. A lacemaker for about 35 years, Lee Daly of Newton will be a jack-of-all trades on Lace Day, managing the event, teaching and demoing. Winner of many ribbons at the Sussex County Farm & Horse Show including the Miriam Forbes Award for Excellence in Lacemaking( twice), Daly will be showing her original design of a tulip and demonstrating bobbin lace and needle lace. Bobbin lace, also called pillow lace, is worked with bobbins which are wound with thread. Pairs of bobbins make stitches on a pattern called a pricking and pins are inserted into the pricking to hold the stitch until the lacemaker gets further along. The pins are then pulled out and the design stays. Bobbin lace had also been called bone lace because the bobbins used to be made from bone, explained lacer Pat Morris of Franklin. Also, exhibiting bobbin lace will be Clara Eastby of Franklin and Mary McGuinness of Denville. A ribbon winner at past state fairs, Eastby will be showing a Tonder bobbin lace bookmark and Schneeberger silhouettes of German Smokers. McGuinness will be exhibiting some pieces and demonstrating a Torchon bobbin lace pattern. She has won
Lace Day 2014
ribbons at the New Jersey State Fair for the last two years and the Miriam Forbes Award for Excellence in Lacemaking in 2008 and again in 2013 For those who want to try at a hand at it, workshops will be available for children and adults to be introduced to the art of lace making. In addition to Lee, others who will be teaching include Morris and Barbara Saltern. Saltern, from Nazareth, Pennsylvania, who will be teaching an adult beginners class, has been making lace for almost 20 years and received the best of show award a number of years ago at the Blue Valley Fair and won third place twice at the International Organization of Lace, Inc. convention, Morris will be teaching a childrens workshop (choice of making a bracelet or bookmark) and an adult class. Flanders, Schneeburger, and Tonder may sounds like town names, but they are also names of types of bobbin lace. Morris will be teaching all of them at the adult class. All three originated in the same geographic area. Flanders is a beautiful design that looks like wicker caning and uses eight pair of bobbins to form the stitch. Schneeburger comes from a German area and is a tape lace that uses six to ten pair of bobbins. Tonder is a Danish point ground lace which uses very fine thread. Tonder, an old town in the western part of Denmark, had been a seaport on the North Sea, shared
An original lace tulip design by Lee Daly of Newton will be one of the pieces on display at Lace Day.
Morris, whos been a lacer for 35 years. Like many of the lacers, Morris gets more out of her craft than a pretty piece of lace. I love making lace. It is so relaxing and I love demonstrating lace, the wonder and amazement in the eyes of the visitors[on Lace Day] is rewarding she said.

Morris County Sheriff's Office Providing Efficient Emergency Services To All County Municipalities
able for their dogs. The facility is equipped with special training equipment for the dogs, as well as a heated housing area with heavy duty safety fencing. Wall said the original facility was built with no taxpayer dollars, and Sgt. Mark Chiarolanza said the K-9 unit has seven officials, with an eighth serving our country in Afghanistan. Ridder-Irwin, a Harding Township resident, donated $80,000 toward the project, and others donated services and/or materials toward the construction of the facility, including Paul Cullen Plumbing, John Crimi, and Greg Spitzer, and Walter Morris. The dogs will live healthy, long lives in this top-notch facility, and they will be ready for their work out in the field. They will provide a great service to the county by sniffing out drugs, explosives, and fire accelerants, and help officials secure many situations which would otherwise be even more dangerous without the help of their dogs. The K-9 facility was designed with the best practices kept in mind - many of which were suggested by "Seeing Eye" of Morris Township. The K-9 facility features an air circulation system which keeps their living quarters clean and in better condition than perhaps what many homeowners can offer to their dogs, and it also features small doors at one end of their pens that allow dogs to get outside for fresh air. Officials can easily clean these pens and hose down floors when the dogs are let outside. In the end, the K-9 dogs get first-class treatment so
By Ejvind Boccolini he Morris County Sheriff's Office is considered a specialty organization which provides services to all municipalities in the county - and it does so with expertise and efficiency. Undersheriff Richard A. Wall, Bureau of Law Enforcement, and other officials from the sheriff's office met with the Morristown News last month, offering an inside look at the impressive facility that they run. This story is the second in an ongoing series about the Morris County Sheriff's Office, and it highlights the Emergency Services section of the sheriff's office. Undersheriff Wall offered a tour of the Barbara Ridder-Irwin K-9 Facility to start with, and it proved to be quite clean and comfort-

they can be at their best for their work in the field. Next, Chief Warrant Officer Howard Ryan offered a tour of the Evidence Processing Facility, and adjoining lab, where intricate work is done on crime scene materials and evidence. Sheriff Edward V. Rochford called Ryan one of the greatest crime scene investigators in the northeast. Ryan and his team of experts determine results
associated with everything from bullet fragments, fingerprints, DNA samples, blood samples, and much more. Ryan also serves as an educator for law enforcement officials around the nation. This is a great benefit to Morris County municipalities, which can send their officers to class "in county" - instead of having to pay for airfare and lodging so officers can attend class on the west coast or in the
south, for instance. Police chiefs in Morris County municipalities also do not "lose" their officers for, say, a week, because they had to travel a long distance for such a class. Ryan said the Morris County facility is state-ofthe-art, and the top-notch equipment and intricate processes that are the norm here, could certainly be equally baffling and impressive both at the same time to continued on next page

Page 14, January 2014, Tell Them You Saw It In The Musconetcong News Like us on facebook www.facebook.com/mypaperonline continued from previous page an individual not familiar with this line of work. Det. Jamie Rae offered insight on the Mobile Command Center and the Mobile Crime Lab, which provide sheriff's office officials with a safe, excellent communication network and portable crime lab while out in the field. The Mobile Crime Lab was funded by a grant from Homeland Security, and allows sheriff's office officials to process evidence quickly and effectively in the most pressing emergency situations. Doug Laird, who will be commander of the bomb squad unit come March, explained how their technical equipment helps them effectively process bomb threats, suspicious packages, and much more. A super-heavy-duty "containment vessel" allows the squad to remotely detonate a bomb inside it and even sample any harmful chemicals it would otherwise emit freely into the air. As with all facets of the sheriff's office, officials go through intense training to perform these duties in the field at an expert level. Indeed, the Sheriff's Emergency Response Team also secures hostage situations, and performs high-angle rescues, just to give a few more examples of their work. Det. Sgt. Phil DiGavero explained the process of organizing, securing and protecting every piece of evidence that enters the evidence management facility. He demonstrated how the state-of-the-art computer network and manual processes ensure that each piece of evidence is documented, protected and ready for official access - and only under the most secure conditions. Det. Sgt. Michael Puzio offered insight on the different types of warrants that the sheriff's office will process, adding that officials in this division are out on the beat as well a great deal of the time. Countless television shows have mimicked the work done for real in this and other divisions of the sheriff's office. "We are the enforcement end of the warrants," he said. Next, a tour of the Legal Services Division was offered. This division serves legal documents, such as summons which initiate a lawsuit. Official court documents are overseen and enforced within this division of the sheriff's office. Det. Phillip Mangiafridda, offered a final glimpse of some of the operations within the sheriff's office: he demonstrated the benefits of the "Faro" scanner, which can scan and provide a superb video document of a crime scene. The scanner is secured in a chosen corner of a room, for instance, and it will create a high-definition visual account of this crime scene. When the scanner is, for instance, secured then in the opposite end of the room, it will complete its visual account of the crime scene. Law enforcement officials will now have a superior and comprehensive 3-D video document of a crime scene - one which they can now "move through" and "view" from any imaginable angle. This technology aids officials in solving some of the most troubling cases - murders, suicides, and aggravated assaults. In last month's tour of the sheriff's office facilities, it is evident that all if its officials are impressed with Sheriff Rochford's high standards, thorough ways, and his desire to constantly improve. Rochford himself is likewise impressed with their specific areas of expertise and is proud to have officials with the strongest of qualifications. Be on the lookout for additional stories on the Morris County Sheriff's Office.

But when the weather is especially cold and harsh, pet owners may want to leave their pets behind in the warmth and comfort of indoors. There are other tactics to keeping pets safe when the winter arrives in earnest. Keep pets away from antifreeze Antifreeze emits a sweet smell, which is often inviting to dogs and cats. But antifreeze is lethal in small doses, so it's best to keep pets out of your garage and away from your driveway, where antifreeze may leak. Antifreeze can prove especially harmful to pets if it contains ethylene glycol as the main ingredient. There are safer alternatives, but even the safest antifreezes can be lethal when consumed in high quantities. Protect their paws Rock salt on sidewalks can effectively melt ice and snow. But rock salt also can be very irritating to pets' paws. Remember to wipe your pet's feet when coming indoors after walking on surfaces treated with salt or another melting agent. This will help to remove excess particles and pre-
vent your pet from getting ill when the animal licks its paws clean. Keep pets indoors on cold days Don't allow pets outside when the temperature falls below 20 F, as pets are at risk of frostbite or hypothermia when exposed to such temperatures. Puppies, kittens and short-haired pets may be more susceptible to the cold and should be kept in when temperatures dip below 40 F. Look out for animals seeking shelter Outdoor cats and other animals may choose your car engine as a cozy place to spend the night. A warm engine provides enough heat to ward off the chill. You may have a cat under your hood and not know it. Beep the horn before starting the car to scare the animal away. Otherwise the cat could be severely injured when the car is started. Do not leave a pet alone in a car It is unwise to leave a pet unattended in a parked car. It may seem that the interior is warmer than outside, but the temperature in the car can drop quickly. Never leave a pet locked in a car, especially in harsh weather conditions.
Capture Your Valentine With Love Songs By Quartet Singers

than 200 miles to sing quartets for the Valentines fundraiser. As a group, there were 35 requests for Singing Valentines, of which Scullin performed 16 of them. We can be out from 9 a.m. to 9 p.m., says Scullin, who has been singing Valentines with the group since 2005. It is a huge amount of fun doing this, and it raises money to keep the chorus going. Its a little scary at first, says Scullin, singing with three different guys. But once he hears the applause and sees the expression on his customers face,, his time singing is worth every song. One of his Valentine gigs that stole his heart was a 97-year old woman who bought a singing Valentine for her 92-year old companion. Each lost their spouse and met each other at a senior exercise class, describes Scullin. While his quartet was singing to them, the companions just held each others hand and looked at each other. All of this is so much fun, says Scullin, continued on page 18
By Cheryl Conway andy gets eaten and flowers will die. But a love song in ones ears will linger in ones heart and carry on. The Morris Music Men- Morris Countys premier barbershop harmony chorus- will be singing quartets in celebration of Valentines Day. Each February the nonprofit group offers Singing Valentines as a way to raise funds. On Thursday, Feb. 13, and Friday, Feb, 15, men from the chorus will be singing love songs at any location throughout Morris County. For $50, a quartet of men decked out in tuxedos will serenade sweethearts, office staffers or clients at work, home, restaurants, or just about anywhere in beautiful four-part harmony. The package includes a beautiful long-stemmed red rose and a special Valentines Day card. Singing Valentines are a unique way to say I care! as stated in a press release. Customers will not only be sending love through song but will be helping to support the old barbershop style of singing. This is one of our major fundraisers, says Terry Scullin of Morristown, president of The Morris Music Men. All proceeds are
allocated to the non-profit organization to pay for expenses such as hall rental and director fees. Its a style of singing that we are trying to preserve and perpetuate, says Scullin, 73. Trying to keep that sound alive is important to all of us. Songs are delivered in four-part harmony- tenor, lead, baritone and base- acapella, barbershop style. The Morris Music Men chorus and its affiliated quartets are part of the international 30,000-member Barbershop Harmony Society. About 20 men throughout Morris County meet weekly to rehearse. Most of the men are 60 years old or older; the youngest member is a recent college graduate. For the Valentines fundraiser, about 12 of the men from the group will be split up into quartets and travel throughout the county to deliver Singing Valentines. Each group will be singing two simple love songs: Let Me Call You Sweetheart and Heart of My Heart. Those songs were selected because every barber-shopper in the world knows those songs, Scullin says. Last year, Scullin recalls traveling more

Quartet Singers...
continued from page 16 who sings tenor. Its a great, great fun thing to do. Ive always loved music but never been able to play anything. Im a klutz when it came to playing piano or guitar. But using vocals is different. Its just such a joy to sing; to sing in front of others and get applause, even learning the music. Its just a great deal of fun. You are with a bunch of wonderful people sharing a hobby. The Morris Music Men is currently one of the finalists in the Morristowns Got Talent Contest. It is one of 16 finalists out of 70 acts that will be performing at the Mayo Performing Arts Center in late February. Other performances have been at local assisted living places, The Cliffs in East Orange, Morris View Nursing Home. In August, the group gets together with other chorus groups and sings at the Somerset Patriots Baseball Game. Another big fundraiser hosted by Morris Music Men is an annual concert in October at Drew University Concert Hall. Scullin has been singing in the group since 2002, when he retired as a copy writer for BBDO Advertising agency in New York. His participation stems from the love of singing. There are very few of us that are professional singers, says Scullin. I sing in the shower and sing along with the radio.
Other members of the chorus have sung in their church choirs or in high school or college. We are all amateurs but we all enjoy singing and acapella harmony, he says. Most of the members cant even read music, says Scullin, so they learn through tapes and CDs with words and listening rather than reading music. Scullin has also branched off and performs in a separate organized quartet, The Four Old Parts, which is open for bookings to sing at birthday parties, senior or library events. Call 973-540-1648to inquire. To reserve a Singing Valentine or for more information, call 973-625-2842; or email svdavid.sipple @gmail.com. Deadline to order is Tuesday, Feb. 11, at 9 p.m. The chorus meets Tuesday evenings at Gloria Dei Lutheran Church in Chatham and always welcomes new singers. No experience necessary; free singing lessons are provided. Learn more atwww.morrismusicmen.org. Funding has been made possible in part from the Arts Council of the Morris Area through the New Jersey State Council on the Arts/Department of State, a Partner Agency of the National Endowment for the Arts.
he second graders at Tulsa Trail participated in a Holidays Around the World trip on Friday, December 13th, as part of their Culture and Diversity Unit. The students visited six different countries to learn about the holiday customs and traditions in that country. The students had the opportunity to travel to Italy, Sweden, England, Mexico, Russia and France.
Before traveling, each student prepared their luggage and created their own passport. As the students entered each country, they had their official passport stamped, they used a map key to identify the country on a map, and then learned about the special ways that holidays are celebrated in that country. It was a fun-filled afternoon for all who participated.
Messiah to be Performed on January 26th

organist/choir director at the First United Methodist Church of Newton, Repps background includes studying with Robert MacDonald at the Riverside Church in New York City and the Cathedral Basilica of the Sacred Heart in Newark, New Jersey. He has been affiliated with the New Peapack Players, was the founder of the Peapack Reformed Church Community Choir, and is accompanist for the Pike County Choral Society. Joining in Messiah with her husband will be Barbara Repp, a soprano who will be singing in the choir. She loves how her husband plays the organist, but admits (with a smile), she might be a little prejudice. Another husband and wife duo in the program are soloists Kathleen (alto) and John Meredith (tenor) from Andover Township. John Meredith is a graduate of the Interlochen Arts Academy where he majored in flute. He then attended Oberlin College and Conservatory of Music where he majored in psychology and vocal performance. He is a concert flutist, and has recently given recitals in New Jersey and New York. Meredith received his PhD in Neuroscience from Northwestern University and did postdoctoral work in
by Elsie Walker he show must be on; in this case the show is a Messiah concert. Although inclement weather kept it from being held before the holidays, the concert will go on, moved from a previous Dover venue to January 26th at 4:30pm at the First United Methodist Church Of Newton at 111 Ryerson Avenue in Newton, Being sung by the Unity Choir (as the program is being done the last day of Christian Unity week), those participating represent not only a variety of churches, but show, in some cases, that singing runs in the family. to Smithsonian.com, According Messiah, which was composed by George Fredrick Handel, was initially given as an Easter offering. It premiered on the stage of Musick Hall in Dublin on April 13, 1742 However, it became a work associated with more than Easter; its most recognizable for its Hallelujah chorus. The Unity Choir will be singing Messiah Part I plus the Hallelujah Chorus and Worthy is the Lamb. The director and organist is Henry Repp of Netcong, who will be playing the threemanual Peragallo pipe organ and conducting from it. Repp is an accomplished organist/director. Currently, the

Currently Senior Principal Scientist at Merck Research Laboratories, Meredith spends many of his leisure hours involved in music performance, many times with his wife. I've always loved performing on the same stage as my husband. We've per-
formed together since before we were married. We met while studying in the same voice studio at Oberlin Conservatory and have been together for thirty years, married for 26.

Messiah to be Performed...
continued from previous page operas both in college and after: the Mikado, Yeoman of the Guard, Pirates of Penzance, as well as student-written productions. After graduating from Oberlin, we sang in a professional chamber choir at Our Lady of Mt Carmel Cathedral in Chicago, Illinois, under the direction of William Ferris as well as singing in the William Ferris Chorale as soloists and members. We performed in the Mikado together for the Valley Light Opera in Amherst, Massachusetts, and were members of the choir at Wesley Methodist Church there. We also sang and soloed with the Arkansas Chamber Choir in Little Rock under the direction of John Yarrington and the choir of First United Methodist Church in Little Rock. We have sung with the chancel choir at First United Methodist Church of Newton for 14 years. The sad part about performing together is that, while we always had leading roles in shows, we rarely played opposite each other as love interests because the tenor usually gets the soprano, not the alto! said Kathleen Meredith. A father-daughter duo will be taking the soprano and bass soloist parts. For Molly Young, this will be the third time that she has done the Messiah with her father, the Rev. David Young. I always have a great time performing with my dad. He has a wonderful way of bringing humor to any situation and I never get stressed out when he's on-stage with me. I grew up listening to my parents singing together all the time, and they've always been a huge inspiration to me as a musician, said Young Currently living in Maryland, Young performs as a soloist and chamber musician. Solo appearances include Mozart's Requiem, Vivaldi's Gloria, Charpentier's Messe de Minuit and Bernstein's Chichester Psalms. She can also be heard on the Grammy-nominated recording of Brahms' Ein deutsches Requiem produced by the Miami-based ensemble Seraphic Fire with the Professional Choral Institute. She has performed with the Concert Artists of Baltimore, The Washington Chorus, Peabody Opera Theatre and the American Opera Theatre, most recently as the title role in the world premiere of the staged version of Melissa Dunphys Gonzales Cantata. She holds degrees in voice and early music from Western Michigan University and the Peabody Institute of the Johns Hopkins University, where she studied with soprano Phyllis Bryn-Julson. Young sings for the professional choirs of the Basilica of the National Shrine of the Immaculate Conception and the National Cathedral in Washington, DC. Her father is pastor of the First Presbyterian Church in Newton. David Youngs musical background includes a Bachelor of Music in vocal performance from The College of Wooster in Wooster, Ohio, and a Master of Music in vocal performance from The University of Maryland, College Park. In addition to recitals and concerts, David Young has also had leading roles in musicals such as Jekyll and Hyde, The Secret Garden, South Pacific, and Man of LaMancha. Another family that loves to sing together is the Iliffs. Both singers in the choir at First United Methodist Church in Newton, John Iliff and grandson Thatcher Iliff will also be together in the Messiah. John Iliff will be in the choir, while Thatcher Iliff will be in the choir and solo on The Trumpet Shall Sound. I have always had a passion for singing and have auditioned for various shows like The X Factor, American Idol, and The Voice. I was voted class vocalist in high school (Newton High School) . I have performed in many plays throughout the years, including, but not limited to,,Maximus in A Funny Thing Happened on the Way To The Forum (Sussex County Community College), Sam in The Wedding Singer (Sussex County Community College), Danny in Grease (The Theater Company in Hoboken), and The Wolf in Into The Woods (County College of Morris). I sing with my church choir periodically. I played trumpet for six years and have recently been trying to teach myself guitar and piano, said Thatcher Iliff. He also shared that he loves singing with his grandfather, .My grandfather is a huge role model in my life and time spent with him is always fun. And so, the choir and soloists are ready and the program must go on Sunday, January 26th at 4:30pm. The First United Methodist Church of Newton is handicapped accessible and a free will offering will be taken.

Financial Aid Night at Hopatcong High School
n Wednesday evening, December 11, the Hopatcong High School Guidance Office held its annual Financial Aid Night in the high school cafeteria. This years guest speaker was Mr. Michael Corso, Director of Financial Aid at William Paterson College in Wayne, New Jersey. Mr. Corso has an extensive background in financial aid, having held similar positions at Centenary College and Sussex County Community College. While the presentation was geared toward parents and guardians of current seniors who plan to attend college or trade school in the fall of 2014, the parents and guardians of underclassmen were also encouraged to attend. Topics covered by Mr. Corso included the definition of financial aid, the cost of attending a post-secondary school, the expected family contribution, the categories, types, and sources of financial aid, and the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA). Particular attention was paid to filling out the FAFSA. Other topics covered included outside scholarships, payment plans, campus employment, the CSS Profile, and additional financial aid websites. Mr. Corso remained a good while after the presentation to answer questions. Admissions representatives from the following five schools were also available before and after the presentation to answer questions: Seton Hall University, Wilkes College, Fairleigh Dickinson University, East Stroudsburg University, Caldwell College

In 1920 Thomas Edison Gave His Defense For Beer Drinking

person grossly impaired but was enough alcohol to make one happy. It was a theory he could prove from past work experience. Edisons first laboratory in 1876 at Menlo Park, NJ included a pipe organ. It was located in the back of his lab along with his 2,500 bottles of chemicals that were lined up on the back wall. After a 16 hour work day, his sleep deficient work team gathered by the pipe organ for afterhours singing and beer drinking in which Edison himself would sit down at the pipe organ and join in on the sing along during the midnight hour. Edisons Menlo Park beer drinking sing-along crew helped produce an incredible variety of inventions and improvements to existing inventions. The inventions from Menlo Park were: A quadruplex telegraph system; the phonograph; a telephone transmitter; the electric pen and the electric light bulb. So, Edison may have felt that reasonable quantities of beer relieved tension that in turn helped achieve high productivity at his Menlo Park lab. Perhaps, another influence in the defense of beer drinking was that Edisons favorite music was polkas. If Edison was alive today, it would be interesting to see what moderate and logical argument he would make on relaxing federal laws on marijuana. Edison died in 1931 before the Eighteenth Amendment on Prohibition ended with the ratification of the Twenty-first Amendment to repeal it on December 5, 1933. Please visit Thomas Edisons West Orange lab without the pipe organ. Visit the Thomas Alva Edison Museum NPS - Open Wednesday through Sunday. Hours are 10:00am - 4:00pm Fee is $7.00 - 211 Main Street West
by Michele Guttenberger oday there is lively debate regarding the legalization of marijuana thats generated from the respected authorities of our time. Thomas Edison could not escape weighing in with his own opinion on the biggest social debate of his day. In the final decades of Edisons life the Federal Government ushered in regulations prohibiting alcoholic beverages. It was called the Prohibition - a nationwide ban on the sale, production, importation, and transportation of alcoholic beverages that remained in place from 1920 to 1933. Edison wrote his own essay on this issue in 1920. Besides being a great mechanical inventor, he had a passionate knowledge in the science of chemistry. Edisons brief essay on legislating restrictions on alcohol was one that combined both a logical chemistry approach and also the consideration of alcohol in societys social customs. This is the short essay of his thoughts on the issue that has become one of the scanned document artifacts archived and cataloged by the Thomas Edison Papers Project at Rutgers University: I do not believe that it is practical or even desirable to have absolute prohibition. I think beer should be allowed but limited to 2 per cent of alcohol + all strong liquor of all kind prohibited All the evil effects which society is trying to eliminate by passing prohibition laws would be eradicated for the reason that the human stomach is limited in size and capacity + this limits the effects of drink + still permits all to be sociable + carry out customs which have been in vogue for centuries. Thomas Edisons two percent alcohol reasoning was that the stomach could not hold enough beer alcohol to make a
