Roxbury Dog Park to Get Makeover By Girl Scouts in Roxbury


660 believe that with a little bit of help, the dog park can once again become a fun and inviting place for dogs to play. Heather Drury, Sophie Olsen, and Emily Fowler came up with a plan to fix the park and presented the idea to Mayor Fred Hall early in March. The Mayor thought highly of their proposal and gave them permission to begin their project, stating that their efforts will be appreciated by the community and hopefully give the park the attention it deserves. The fenced-in area seems to be everything a dog and its owner could want. There are obstacles to climb on and plenty of space for them to run around. Cleanliness is important at the park, with bags for owners to use to clean up after their pets. Hall agreed with the girls, calling the park "dilapidated" and noting that this is a great project for the girls to undertake. Fowler notes that the dog park "should have more of a presence." She believes that there is plenty of room to work with, but the existing park does need some help, saying that although the space is large, "all that's there is a big concrete tube and a fire hydrant." Even after the park was first opened, it was thought to be a good idea by many in the local community, but unfortunately the space was underused. Hall and the girls hope that the park's renovations will encourage dog owners to use the space for their pets. In order to begin the project, the girls are asking the community for donations and supplies. To help with the cost, the girl scouts are baking and selling cookies to support their work. Their efforts have

looking forward to serving in their home state. Redeemer Lutheran Church was established in 1960 and has a very active youth program serving children from 4th grade through college. The youth participate in events such as serving the homeless and needy in Morris County, New York, and beyond. They are also an integral part of the church hosting a local homeless shelter four times each year. Increased participation combined with increased need in the community have resulted in the church reaching out to the community to help raise money for the youth activities fund. Tickets for the event will go on sale Sunday, March 3rd and can be purchased in advance at the church office. Tickets may also be purchased on the night of the event.

caught the attention of Home Depot, which donated some lumber wood. Although they have some materials to begin, the girls are focused on the big picture, including landscaping and other necessities. Fowler states that the girls would like to plant a tree in addition to one that is already there, along with flowers. She notes that the scouts are hoping to give the park a new plaque when it is opened. As their project needs continue to expand, the scouts have narrowed down the supplies and materials they need. Items on the list include gravel and pressure treated lumber. In addition, a dog pole, a teeter-totter, and "bones" are in their plans for the park's improvements. Their ambitious plans don't end there. As soon as the park is reopened, the girls would like to sell hot dogs to help raise money for bullet-proof vests for the local K-9 police dogs. This effort will help support the "Capital K-9 Association," an organization that helps give working dogs around the country the bullet-proof vests they need for the job. The park has an estimated completion date of the fall, with the girls and their friends and families planning to work on the project during the spring and summer. Donations, suggestions, and offerings for the project can be sent to: Girl Scout Troop 660, 91 Emmans Road in Ledgewood, NJ.

Wonderwalk to Benefit March of Dimes

Submitted by Margaret Witt ake a short walk with friends and family while raising awareness and money for the March of Dimes this winter with Giant Gymnastics. Co-owners Jennifer Packard and John Skorski have been active in both the Hackettstown and Lafayette area communities, so it came as no surprise when they announced to the families of their gymnasts they were holding Wonderwalk. As a team parent, I think its wonderful how Giant involves our children in community service, said Karen LiCausi, a parent of one of the Garden Gator competitive gymnasts. I believe its important to make our children aware of the needs of others and the importance of being an active participant in events like this one. The walks will be a short 15-20 minute local walk around each location of Giant Gymnastics. Hackettstown will be hosting two dates- February 2nd and March 9th from 3-5pm. Lafayette will host their event on April 6th from 9-10:30am. When gymhe public is invited to drive through the dramatic outdoor presentation of The Life of Christ on Saturday, March 30th from 6 to 9pm. Hosted by Abundant Life Community Church 21

Take a Lap to Beat Cancer

By Elsie Walker ome have survived the battle; others are the friends or relatives of those who have lost their lives or are still fighting. Still others have come just to lend their support. They take to the track to walk; team members pass off as the relay continues. However, theres no loser in this race. Theres only a winner: the American Cancer Society. This is the American Cancer Society Relay for Life. Relay For Life is a team relay event to promote awareness of cancer and raise funds for the American Cancer Societys mission of eliminating cancer. The Relay For Life is an overnight event celebrating the life of cancer survivors and a time to remember those we have lost. It is a time with friends and family - to catch up with that person you havent seen in the longest time. It is a candle lit for those you remember or wish to honor, and a time to know that you can make a big difference in the lives of others, explained Jaime Bennett of Roxbury, an American Cancer Society staff partner Relay for Life events are held across the country; locally, one will be held at Hopatcong High School,2 Windsor Avenue in Hopatcong,on May 18-19. Registration begins at 2pm, The event kicks off at 4pm. The closing ceremony is May 19th at 8am when those in attendance celebrate what theyve accomplished together. Helping bring about the Hopatcong Relay for Life event are Bennett and Tara Rossy of Hopatcong, who is the event chairperson. Bennetts role is to manage the volunteer committee and help the community plan and execute the event; Rossy works with Bennett and members of the local community to put the event together.

Both have personal ties to cancer which draws them to the event. I lost my father to cancer when I was 15. My great grandmother passed away when I was very young, and my aunt is a survivor. I recently lost a friend to cancer; he was only 30 years old and left behind 3 children. Cancer has taken too much from too many people, said Bennett.

The survivor's lap at last year's Relay for Life held in Hopatcong.

Rossy shared, My first experience with cancer and loss was losing my grandmother to breast cancer when I was 12. Since then, it is sad to have seen how many family friends, relatives, and community members have passed from cancer. I want to help put a stop to this. Both Bennett and Rossy will be on teams walking the continued on next page

track. Bennetts team of family and friends is called, Friends Beating Cancer. Rossys team, Saving Second Base, is made up of family members and was named in honor of Rossys grandmother for her sense of humor. Rossy noted that was something she carried with her until the very end. However, the relay isnt just about loss; it is about triumph, too. It starts with the survivors lap. Those who have beaten the disease take the first lap. The survivor lap is beyond words! To see these strong men, women, and children circle the track after having beat this horrible disease is amazing. The sense of hope, love, and strength you feel is unbelievable. And that is just the beginning of the event! said Rossy. Survivors are also invited to attend a special dinner in their honor So, how can people get involved in Hopatcongs Relay for Life? You can form a team of your own. You can join a team. You can sign up as an individual. You can donate online. You can sign up as a survivor for the survivor lap. You can become a sponsor. You can join the planning committee. You can volunteer at the event. There is something for everyone at Relay! Visit www.RelayForLife.org/ HopatcongNJ to sign up, donate, or learn more! said Bennett. Rossy added, You can also sign up as a virtual team or team member. These people can't make it to the event, but still want to show their support and raise money. Also, we continued from previous page

sell luminaries which are white lantern bags that are lit with candles during the event. For $10, you can decorate a bag or write the name of someone you want to honor or remember. They are available on our website or from anyone signed up. Rossy noted that people get scared when they hear this is an overnight walk, thinking they aren't physically able to participate. However, she noted that there are variety of ways people can help. She invites people to register and come and see what its all about. The event has games, music, crafts, food, and fun all night long. Theres something for everyone! At last years relay, they had 300 participants and raised nearly $30,000. This year they want to beat those numbers and hope people will come out and help. Bennett shared, Everyone has been affected by cancer in some way. Whether you're a survivor, you know a survivor, or if you've been one of those who has lost a loved one. Relay For Life is our opportunity to come together and fight back against a disease that has taken too much. Whether you come for the survivor's lap, or the emotional luminaire ceremony, or if you decide to stay with us throughout the night- I encourage you to sign up online and contribute in some way. Every dollar brings us closer to a world where nobody has to hear the words, you have cancer. Please, join us! For more information, contact Jaime.Bennett@ cancer.org or 973-285-8028

Dancers Raise Money For Boy With Rare Disease

By Cheryl Conway bout 50 girls danced the day away last month to raise money and awareness for a four-year old boy battling a rare disease. The second annual Dream Dance Studio Dance-a-thon for Dylan was held Sat., Feb. 16, from 11 a.m. to 6 p.m. at Hopatcong High School. Dream Dance Studio in Ledgewood hosted the event and raised more than $5,000 for Dylan Flinchum of Lafayette. At the age of three, Dylan was diagnosed with metachromatic leukodystrophy, a degenerative disease often referred to as MLD. All proceeds go to help Dylans parents, Mike and Melissa Flinchum, with their medical expenses. As soon as I found out he was diagnosed with it, I contacted his mothers sister on how I can help, says Kristy DAmelio of Sparta, owner and director of Dream Dance Studio. "Being a new mom, when it comes to a child being sick, it hits home and I want to help anyway I can. Childhood friends since their middle school and high school years, DAmelio wanted to help raise funds for her friend so she could spend as much time with her son instead of worrying about finances and working. She recalls how Dylan used to climb, jump, run and talk, and then overnight he stopped walking, explains DAmelio. He doesnt do those things anymore. Shortly after Dylans second birthday, he began to experience difficulty walking. After being referred to several medical specialists and top neurosurgeons in the country, it was determined that Dylan had a condition known as Chiari

malformation. After surgery, Dylan was expected to make a full recovery, but after several weeks of physical therapy, he was not progressing. After a follow up MRI showed a significant change in Dylan's white brain matter, the Flinchums traveled to the Childrens Hospital of Philadelphia (CHOP) where it was confirmed that Dylan is suffering from MLD, a rare, genetic disorder that affects nerves, muscles, other organs and behavior in about one in 40,000 people, primarily children, worldwide.

Expenses have included multiple trips to CHOP for treatment as well as special medical equipment and therapy to help Dylan as the disease progresses. Last year, DAmelio sponsored the first Dance-a-thon for Dylan raising $13,000; this year she raised $5,300. Less people came out to watch this year, says DAmelio. Last year more came to watch and gave donations. Its hard times to give money. At the dance-a-thon this year, 50 girls, ages three to 19, continued on next page

Dancers Raise Money...


had to dance continuously from 11 a.m. to 6 p.m. Judges were on site to track the girls, and when they stopped dancing they were out. Three of the girls danced the entire time to free style dance, party dances and an hour of Zumba. Money was collected through pledges that the dancers had to collect to participate. Sals Pizzeria in Landing donated all the pizza at the dance-a-thon; parents baked cupcakes and cookies; and 2 Sweet Cakes donated three-dozen cupcakes. The dancers and DAmelio took a group picture with Dylan. I got to hold him, says DAmelio, and I cried my eyes out the whole time, while the DJ played the song Stronger by Kelly Clarkson. Since DAmelio was hoping to raise more money for Dylan this year, she has decided to hold a third show at her annual dance recital with all proceeds going to the Dylan Flinchum Rock-On Foundation. This years recital is set for Sat., June 15, at Roxbury High School with shows at 11 a.m., 4 p.m. and 7:30 p.m. The third show will be for solos, duets and trios and all monies raised through ticket sales will go to Dylan. Her passion in helping Dylan is to not continued from previous page only help raise money but also to raise awareness of this unusual disease. Its rare, says DAmelio. Not many people know about it. There is no cure. Nothing is being done to get a cure. When it comes to kids, I will help out anyway I can. The next big fundraiser for Dylan is set for May 11- Dylans Dinosaur Stomp- at Modick Park in Hopatcong, a 5K Run and family fun day, with proceeds going to the Rock-On Foundation. To contribute to the Dylan Flinchum Rock On! Foundation or questions, email dylanrockon@yahoo.com. Send checks to: The Dylan Flinchum Rock On! Foundation, 14 Lenape Drive, Stanhope, NJ 07874. In existence for 12 years, Dream Dance Studio provides a wonderful experience for dancers. We are like family, says DAmelio. Its all about fun and learning; enjoy every step you make. Our teachers continuously take classes and workshops to keep up with the latest choreography so our students get something fresh and challenging every dance class.

By Elsie Walker or Christians, the words of Christ are precious, especially His last seven words as He faced death on a cross. In the early church, priests would sing the Passion, the story of Christs death, rather than just read it. Slowly the presentations of the story became more elaborate with composers like Bach creating great passion oratories. However, it was French composer Theodore Dubois who decided to create a cantata focusing on just Christs final seven words. The work has been rarely heard; however, a local Netcong resident will be helping to bring it to life in Newton this coming Palm Sunday. On Sunday, March 24 at 4 p.m at First United Methodist Church, 111 Ryerson Avenue, Newton, Dubois The Seven Last Words of Christ will be performed. Organist Henry Repp of Netcong, will direct the Chancel Choir of the First United Methodist Church, supplemented by singers from Newton Presbyterian and others in presenting the piece. A free will offering will be taken. Dubois cantata starts with an introductory movement which is followed by seven sections, each focused on one of the seven last sayings of Jesus. The cantata ends with a setting of the ancient hymn,

Singers rehearse in preparation for the presentation of the Seven Last Words of Christ.

Last Words of Christ by Dubois, Requiem by Faure as well as Cantique de Jean Racine, Brahms Requiem and Schuberts Mass in E flat. Repp is currently accompanist for the Pike County Choral Society and has accompanied them in performances of Handels Messiah, Mendelssohns Elijah, Brahms German continued on next page

Local Irish Dance School Prepares for St. Patrick's Day

t. Gregory Orthodox Church, at 5 Church Street in Glen Gardner celebrated its 32 anniversary on February 8th. Although the church has been in several locations, it has been in its present location since Sept. of 2000. The church is pan American and has members from many backgrounds that include Romanian, Greek, Russian as well as many who are converts to the faith. In 2012, the church council, with the blessing of Fr, Kilian, their pastor, embarked on extinguishing the existing mortgage by borrowing from their cash reserve. By Dec. 2012, the loan was repaid and the church became mortgage free. To celebrate this event, a consecration of the church is planned for June 2, 2013. To prepare for this event, a new altar table with icon of the mystical supper has been selected. Additionally a candle stand on the altar and icons next to the candle stands outside the royal doors, have been selected. At the consecration, the new altar will be washed with rose water and wine and relics of a saint will be placed inside the table. After the consecration service, a banquet at

By Elsie Walker losed off in a large room, they wonder what will happen. There is an uneasiness in the air. Once 12 trusted friends, now one will betray them all by betraying their leader. In disbelief that one could do such a thing, each reflects on his life and asks, is it I Lord?

Portraying the disciples will be members of the churchs United Methodist Mens group. A freewill offering will be taken.

Easter Tradition Marks Its 25th Year


year, said the Easter Bunny. A sentimental part of the March 23rd event will be a display of pictures from the past 25 years. Past hunters can look for themselves in the photos. Some of those past hunters now bring their own little hunters to the event. Reflecting on the day, the churchs pastor, Nick Petrov said, A tradition of Easter is the egg that symbolizes, in a Christian context, both the tomb of Jesus and the new life Jesus brings by his resurrection. A fun opportunity to highlight this belief is our annual Easter Egg Hunt that happens the weekend before Easter. I am so happy that it will be our 25th Annual Easter Egg Hunt. It is such a joyful event, with lots of games, a puppet show, piata, refreshments, and candies. A smiling Easter bunny and helpers will have sprinkled plastic Easter eggs around the secret hiding place. After filling their baskets, the children head into the Church building again lots of fun and lots of cookies await in the Fellowship hall. What a day! This wonderful community event is sponsored by our Port Morris church and has been going on for many years. We are so happy to reach out to our neighborhood and it is a privilege for us to share with the kids the joy of Easter. However, the love these kids give far outweighs anything we could ever do for them. For more information about the Easter Egg Hunt and Puppet Show, call: 973-347-0381.

by Elsie Walker ts been 25 years and the bunny is still hopping and still hiding eggs. At 1pm on March 23th, the Port Morris United Methodist Church will hold its 25th annual Easter Egg Hunt and Puppet Show. The event is open to children ages 1 10. The church is located at 296 Center Street in Landing. Parking is on the street and in the lot on Main Street (behind the church). The event is free. Coordinating the event and providing the puppet show is Miss Tina Berchak of Stanhope. Berchak and a band of volunteers will entertain the children and get them ready for the arrival of the bunny. Once the hunt begins, the children will follow the bunny to where hes hidden his eggs. Children will be separated into egg groups for the hunt. Following the hunt, the children will return to the church for games and refreshments. Marking its silver anniversary, the event has come a long way from its first year, when it consisted only of the hunt. Being nave about egg hunts, no one thought to have bags on hands for the hunters. There are memories of mothers, acting like farmers, and using their shirt tails as baskets where their children could place their found eggs. Over the years, the church has learned its lessons and has encouraged children to bring a basket or a bag in which to put the eggs they find. So many children, so many eggs. Twenty-five years of them. I look forward to this event every

Did you know - that the lack of education during the summer months that all students experience learning losses if they do not engage in educational activities. Also a fact is that on average, students lose approximately 2.6 months of grade level equivalency in mathematical computation skills during the summer months. That is why many teachers have to review curriculum when the school year starts. This great summer camp at St. Michael School has a great fun academic program to keep your child learning. We offer different weekly themes that are incorporated into the academic curriculum!

Thomas Edison Helped Market the Electric Chair A Negative Advertising Tactic for AC Power
connected it to a metal plate where he executed a dozen animals with it. This became the intended spectacle for the press and a new word was coined - "electrocution" to explain the fatal application. Harold Pitney Brown with very little formal training in the field of science or invention wanted to be a successful inventor. Brown got Edisons attention when he wrote an editorial in the New York post of the tragic incident of a young boy who was killed by accidently touching an exposed telegraph wire using alternating current. Edison would help propel the career of Harold Pitney Brown a former Western Electric Company salesperson who sold Edisons electric pens. Brown had greater aspiration than equipment sales. Thomas Edison hired Brown to work on the design of an inferior Electric Chair using DC power. In 1888 the New York legislature passed electrocution as the state's method of execution. However, there were two designs for an electric chairone using AC and the other DC power. A committee was formed to decide on the best method and Edison saw an opportunity to sway the public on the fatality of AC power with AC the choice current for capital punishment. Edison was determined that executions should be carried out by AC. He had instructed Harold Brown to stealthily procure and install Westinghouse AC generators in the prison to help facilitate the committee choice in choosing AC power for executions. Edison also had a key ally to influence the committee. He hired Dr. Fred Peterson as Harold Browns assistant on designing the inferior DC electric chair for Edison. Coincidently, Dr Peterson was also on the committee and he helped steer the committee into choosing the AC electric chair. The electrical execution law went into effect on January 1, 1889. Westinghouse realized the negative impact of this decision to the publics perception of AC power. Westinghouse refused to sell AC generators to the New York state prison authorities. Edison helped NY bypass the hurdles placed by Westinghouse. Edison provided the AC generators the state needed. Westinghouse even paid the appeals for the first inmates sentenced to death by electrocution on the grounds that "electrocution was cruel and unusual pun-

by Michele Guttenberger disons Western Electric was a direct current system and his fierce competitor was Westinghouse electric company, which used alternating current. Edison argument against AC power was so prolific that the feud had presented a nasty side of Edison. Shrewd at marketing and public relations, Edison set out to find living examples on the dangers of AC power. Thomas Edison looked for any demonstration to get the public to detest and fear the promotion of AC power. He found it by marketing the execution effectiveness of AC power over DC.

Democratic Candidates for State Office Officially Launch Their Campaign in Newton

Next to speak was Susan Williams, a Licensed Clinical Social Worker and former Sussex County Freeholder candidate. Susans platform will continue to focus on smart growth given our unique topography and drawing a younger population to the county by encouraging development of walkable communities while always having an eye towards protecting our natural resources, public health and the beauty of our 24th district. I believe that economic stability and growth need not be at the expense of public health or environmental degradation. Bill Weightman, recently retired from his post as New Jersey Department of Labor and Workforce Development Administrator, spoke about the current administrations failure to create jobs and lower New Jerseys unemployment rate which currently ranks 4th highest in the nation. The greatest form of social reform is getting someone a job. Our goal is to engage in job creation and develop quality jobs in our area to continue the American dream and our regions aspirations. The candidates have been busy assembling their campaign team in recent weeks in anticipation of a vigorous election season.
