By Cheryl Conway here are two new eye-catching mailboxes in town but they are not the typical mailbox for dropping in letters or bills. Residents now have a place to drop off torn or old flags to be properly deposited and disposed. One mailbox is located at Town Hall in Budd Lake and the other was just installed right before Memorial Day just adjacent to the All Veterans Memorial at Turkey Brook Park, also in Budd Lake. “The purpose of the boxes is to give the residents a place to bring old worn out flags,� explains Council President Joe Nicastro who came up with the idea a year ago. “There is a place at the All Veterans Memorial for properly burning the flag that will be done by the VFW or other organizations.� Nicastro proposed the idea last year to the township business administrator before the budget hearing and the council approved the project as part of the 2016 budget, he says. “My wife Mary and I were driving one day and we were out of town,� explains Nicastro. “We saw a mailbox decorated like the flag for a place to deposit old worn flags. I thought why don’t we have these in Mt. Olive? “As a resident of Mt Olive I have had three old flags that are worn out,� he continues. “I have them folded in my garage for at least eight years. I had no idea where to bring them. Now I do. I can drop them off in the Flag Depositories in town. I have heard similar stories from other residents when told of the boxes.�
The mailboxes were purchased online through a company. continued on page 6 '+*3'/5

Drop Off Worn Or Torn Flags In New Mailboxes... “They are your typical mailboxes like the post offices use but they are decorated with red, white and blue colors and the town logo,” says Nicastro. Residents are invited to deposit all types of American flags into the mailboxes, which will be cleaned out regularly and disposed, Nicastro says. “They will be burned properly and then from what I understand be put into the vault that is at All Veteran Memorial,” says Nicastro. “Today's flags are made of a lot of different materials and we do not want to see any accidents but more importantly there is a process that should be followed when destroying the American Flag,” Nicastro explains. “The proper way to destroy an old flag [is] to come to attention, salute the flag, recite the Pledge of Allegiance and have a brief period of silent reflection. Then it can be burned and its ashes properly buried.” The project cost $2,049, very little to taxpayers. Township employees installed the mailboxes and The Graphix Spot in Budd Lake donated the time “to wrap them from plain brown to what you see today.” Established in 2015, The Graphix Spot is a commercial wide-format printing, graphics and signage company. It specializes in national retail brand print solutions, event graphics and corporate interior signage and décor. “Although we focus on maintaining our accounts with larger companies and brands we also love working with local small businesses in town,” says owner Matthew Mc-
Taggart. The Graphix Spot recently designed and installed the graphics on the new flag return receptacles. “It was a great opportunity to show our love for the community and our values in patriotism,” says McTaggart. “We started by designing something clean, classic and legible. Then after printing all of the adhesive wrap materials, we carefully and meticulously applied the graphics onto the new boxes. We donated the design and application for this project.” Readers can go to www.thegraphixspot.com for more information; call 862-254-2254; or email at sales@thegraphixspot.com Nicastro is thankful for all of the volunteer help and donations. “I want to give a special thanks to Jim Lynch and John Geiger for all their help in getting these installed,” says Nicastro. “Also Laura Harris our Business Administrator who found the boxes and put everything in motion.” He is also happy that he offered a contribution to the township. “I know in the scheme of things this is a minor project,” says Nicastro. “I am happy to have been part of this effort in giving residents the ability to dispose the American Flag in a proper way. I was brought up to respect the flag from when you hang it to when you dispose of it. For questions, contact Mt. Olive Twp. Business Administrator Laura Harris at 973-691-0900.

Local Girl Scouts Collect Movies For Silver Award
irl Scouts McKenzie Lynch and Megan Perry from Mt. Olive Girl Scout Troop 374 recently completed their Silver Award. To kick off their Silver Award project, McKenzie and Megan collected movies from local stores that they would later donate to the Pediatric Ward at Saint Clare’s Hospital in Denville. After completing this part of their Silver Award, the two of them teamed up with Ralph Fucci from Any Books of New Jersey to hold a book fair at St. Luke’s Church of Long Valley. With the proceeds that they collected they were able to earn 289 books from Fucci to put into a treasure chest that they made which was then donated to Saint Clare’s Maternity Ward. The books are meant for big sisters and big brothers so they too can feel important during their sibling’s arrival. Within the books the girls placed stickers with QR codes leading parents to a website that explains the importance of reading at a young age.

By Ashley Bouwense he Mt. Olive High School football team trained on Mon., June 13, but it was not its typical day at practice. The Marine Corps visited the team for the day providing players with some leadership training. This is the first time MOHS will host the Marine Corps for a day of leadership workshops and physical fitness training. The United States Marine Corps (USMC) leadership seminar includes: introductions to the USMC; a presentation on the USMC’s 14 Leadership Traits and 11 Leadership Principals; an interactive discussion; a Q-and-A period; and physical fitness exercises. “The leadership seminar is all about building cohesion, communication and motivation within the team,” Staff Sergeant Jeremy Curcio said. Curcio is the Station Commander for the Marine Corps Recruiting Substation Northwest in Rockaway. He and three to four additional members of the USMC led the seminar.
MOHS Football Teams Up With Marines
During the first portion of the seminar, leaders asked what the players and coaches are looking to gain from this experience: Does the team need to learn better communication, for example? After a couple hours of workshops, the 70 varsity players were led outside on the football field to participate in physical fitness challenges. This is where the team’s weakness will be addressed and where the USMC will help train the team to work together to overcome the difficulties they face. Part of an informational video about the Marine Corps Leadership Seminar reads, “The lessons learned from the guided discussion are reinforced in a Marine-led, practical application exercise[s]”, which focus on leadership, teamwork and character. First, the players did some warm-up exercises as a group. Then, the USMC volunteers split the group into four teams. Each team underwent an obstacle course comprised of eight sections. These obstacles, like carrying a teammate over a shoulder;

participating in four-man push-ups; and pushing a 500-pound ammunition cart across the field, are meant to test the players physically and mentally. “It’s all about the team building,” said Head Coach Brian O’Connor. “It teaches
the players to start working together and to have the Marines teach them will be a positive influence.” O’Connor has had the USMC work with his high school football team in Wayne, and continued on next page

The Marine Corp believes applying the 14 Leadership Traits and 11 Leadership Principles to teams will equip them with tools for success; these traits and principles are the hallmark of the USMC.

Mt. Olive Gets New Business Admin
avid Corso, a former assistant commissioner of finance at the New Jersey Department of Education, has joined the Mt. Olive School District. On Aug. 1, he will begin serving as the district’s business administrator, replacing Marge Conroy who is retiring. Until then, he will serve as the assistant administrator of the business office. “Dave is highly regarded in the school business field and brings a wealth of experience to Mt. Olive,” said Dr. Larrie Reynolds, superintendent of schools. “We’re lucky to have him and his expertise. Our business office under Marge [Conroy] has been incredibly well-run and efficient. With Dave aboard in these interim weeks until she retires, the transition will be absolutely seamless.” Before coming to Mt. Olive on May 16, Corso was with the Parsippany-Troy Hills School District where he served as the assistant superintendent of business. In addition to his responsibility planning and managing a budget of approximately $140 million, he also oversaw school district operations including transportation, food services, and maintenance.

Bill Wynne Addresses Crowd. Photo by Ashley Bouwense
By Ashley Bouwense he All Veteran’s Memorial (AVM) at Turkey Brook Park in Budd Lake held its Memorial Day Remembrance program Mon., May 30. The memorial’s latest addition, the War Dog Memorial, was dedicated during the program, and the first Australian war dog’s handler, retired U.S. Army Corporal William “Bill” Wynne, gave the keynote address.
The day started at 10:30 a.m. with dedications at the War Dog Memorial, where the five war dog statues were donned with a medal of honor for their heroic service. The four-legged heroes were all original in their breeds, the wars in which they served and in their missions. The following war dogs were memorialized at the AVM site: Sergeant Stubby, a bull dog and boxer ter-
To find out more details about the dogs featured at the memorial, visit the AVM site, at www.allveteransmemorial.org. It took two years to complete the memorial. Charlie Wood Uhrmann, originator/founder of the AVM, explained, “Not only did we want to show the heroism of each dog, we wanted to make the memorial educational and historicontinued on next page

continued from previous page cally accurate.” The dogs were placed in a scene specific to their story. For example, Smoky is placed by a replica of the pipe she crawled through under enemy lines in WWII to send a critical message to U.S. troops. “This is not your typical war memorial,” Uhrmann said. “It is a piece of art, but it looks like an actual warzone, with barbed wire, fox holes and rugged terrain.” Karl Meier, owner of Meier Stone Company in Flanders, supplied and created all the props for the memorial, and Ashley Bogosta created the five war dog statues. There was time after the ceremony for the public to stop by military vehicles on display; K-9 demonstrations; educational military displays and booths to benefit and support veterans, families and survivors. At 11:20 a.m., the ceremony commenced. The morning sun shone through the clouds with bright ferocity on the AVM—a natural tribute to the fallen and their enduring service and loyalty to their country. It was a time of solemn remembrance for the country’s heroes; a beautiful service honoring those who selflessly gave their lives so that the people of the U.S. can stay protected and free. The processional march included the Mt. Olive High School (MOHS) Marching Band, Color Guard and MOHS DECA. Susan Smarth, owner of recently diseased IED, bomb-sniffing war dog, Sargent Rowan Smarth, paid tribute to her and her family’s beloved friend. After his war service, Rowan was brought back to the U.S. and taken under the care of the Smarth

family. One of the creators of the memorial, Eric Wood, also spoke. He presented a bouquet of lilies to Christy Burkhart, widow of the fallen soldier, Armor Burkhart, who fought in Afghanistan and Iraq. “Armor will never be forgotten,” Wood said. “He is a hero we honor today.” After a dance performance by members of the Flanders’s Theater Dance Center and a presentation of flowers to the fallen heroes by the Mt. Olive Girl Scouts, Bill Wynne gave his keynote address—his final public address— to the crowd. “Thank you all for coming out today,” Wynne began. He gave everyone an idea of what it was like in WWII, both at home and in the Pacific: “The civilians of the United States did an outstanding job and never got the credit for it,” Wynne said. He continued to explain how America was totally unprepared for the war, with barely any navy ships or airplanes to fight when the U.S. entered, but how the American public, especially the women, rallied together to further the war effort. Then, Wynne explained how he fought in the Pacific Theater as a U.S. Army corporal with Smoky by his side. “There were twelve of us who were being sent over to a combat mission, and we were all fighting over Smoky; we all wanted her.” Smoky was Australia’s first war dog, originally found abandoned in a fox hole in New Guinea. “Smoky was in the war for 24 months and was in 18 months

straight of combat,” he said. Wynne wrote a biography of Smoky which also included his memoirs of his called, “Yorkie Doodle Dandy: A Memoir,” published in 1996. Wynne admitted that there were details about Smoky that he had never known before writing the book, like how she ended up in New Guinea, and he hopes to write another book about his war comrade with the new information. A book signing took place after the ceremony. After Wynne’s address, Bogosta presented him with her creation: a life-sized statue of Smoky in a war helmet, an appropriate set-up, as this was how Wynne frequently carried the small pup. The ceremony concluded with the laying of the memorial wreath and a benediction by Lieutenant Colonel Terrence Walsh. “We pray for the military, the wounded, the fallen, the families, the current servicemen and for ourselves,” he prayed. “Lord, give us peace. Amen.” In his opening prayer, Walsh quoted from Scripture, John 15:13, “Greater love has no one than this, that he lay down his life for his friends.” This Bible passage is what the AVM Day of Remembrance was all about: honoring those who selflessly laid down their lives for others: for families, friends and even strangers. Their loyalty to their country will not be forgotten. “When you see a veteran or someone who lost a fallen hero, thank them,” Uhrmann urged. “They are the reason we are free.”

People Flock To Turtle Back Zoo For Open House
By Maryanne Christiano-Mistretta housands of people fled towards the gates of Turtle Back Zoo, West Orange, on Sat., June 4, for the 14th Annual Essex County Open House. There was live music, clowns, carnival games, treasure chests, giveaways, prize wheels and trivia tests, providing exciting entertainment for children as their parents gathered around more than 10 information tables that provided information about public awareness programs and services provided by Essex County. Directors and employees were on hand to answer questions. It was a great way for Essex County residents to meet the people who work for their county. The Open House included free admission to the zoo, which features: a mini-golf safari miniature golf course, sea lions, sting rays and sharks in a touch tank, a state-of-the-art reptile and education building, jaguars, snow leopards, Gibbon apes, wolves, otters, alligators, reptiles, and bears. There is also a beautiful gift shop. Essex County Executive Joseph DiVincenzo, Jr., said, “We’ve done this for fourteen years. We’re here to socialize and network for Essex County. And it’s an opportunity to see the zoo for free.� According to DiVincenzo, last year there were 16,000 people in attendance. He said, “We’re hoping to hit 20,000 today.� This event was formerly held at a small setting in the Hall
of Records, according to Anthony Puglisi, Public Information director. But the zoo can accommodate a lot more people. Puglisi said, “Not many people know about what the county government does and how it affects their life. It’s informational and we try to make it fun.â€? Claudette Hampton, case manager and nurse at Essex County Special Child Health Services said, “We’re here to educate the public about community health and special child services. And [for the public to] know about various resources in Essex County.â€? Other Essex County tables exhibits included: Paper Mill Playhouse, Family Wrap, New Jersey’s Early Intervention System, Essex County Juvenile Detention Center, New Jersey Mental Health Cares, OACANP (The Oranges ACA Navigator Project), and Essex County Vocational Technical Schools. Attendees were able to enjoy the new giraffe exhibit which just opened up, as well as the recently opened bison exhibit with a new viewing area to get up close and look into. Puglisi said, “Before there was a split rail fence. You couldn’t get close to the animals.â€? The prairie dog exhibit will also be upgraded. Puglisi said, “We’re changing the way the public views so you get more of a clear picture; before it was a high glass wall.â€? A lion exhibit is also in the works. In addition to the new animal exhibits and developments, the cafĂŠ expanded to two stories, which triples the capacity

of what it was before. “It will help with crowds,� said Puglisi. “Improvements enhance the area for the public.� According to DiVincenzo, “NJ Monthly� magazine named Turtle Back Zoo the best zoo in New Jersey the last four years. And the zoo has always been awarded with a Certificate of Excellence in the last three years. For more information on Essex County, visit www.essexcountynj.com.

Middle School Performs ‘Legally Blonde’
tudents at Mt. Olive Middle School recently presented the musical “Legally Blonde.” The production, which ran for three nights, included about 100 students in the cast and crew.

In His First Debut Tour, Mt. Olive Teen Enjoys Performing With Newsies
By Cheryl Conway ot all students jump into college when they graduate, and for Anthony Zas of Budd Lake, he is so happy he made that choice. Acting, dancing and singing since he was eight-years old, Zas is currently performing with “Newsies� in his national tour debut. The 18 year old graduated in 2015 from Morris County School of Technology (Vo-tech) in Denville, after attending three years at Mt. Olive Middle School and Chester M. Stephens Elementary School in Budd Lake. For the past six months, Zas has been touring with the “Newsies� North American Tour as a Disney employee since Nov. 2015 and plans to continue until the tour ends in Oct. The tour launched in Sept. 2014 after the show was on Broadway for more than two years opening in March 2012. From Washington, DC, to Seattle, Zas has been all over the country performing in this award-winning musical. With a cast and crew of about 30 each, Zas had already appeared in 217 performances as of press time and was in San Diego, his 51st city since touring with the group. Performances are before large audiences in civic centers, theaters and convention centers. “I was wondering if not going to college is the right thing,� says Zas. “Then I got the call that I made “Newsies.� This is the only job I have and I make a living.� Of his experience so far, Zas says, “I’m really enjoying the learning and growing that come with the first professional gig.� “Newsies� is inspired by the real-life “Newsboy Strike of 1899,� which began when newspaper publishers raised the price for newsies, charging a dime more per hundred papers. The strike was led by a charismatic young newsboy ‘Kid Blink,’ who rallied orphan and runaway newsies on a twoweek- long action against Pulitzer, Hearst and other pow-
erful newspaper publishers. Produced by Disney Theatrical Productions, Newsies is based off the book “Children of the City,� by David Nasaw. In the musical, Zas has two roles. He plays Elmer, a 15year old who has no parents and sells papers to make a living. In this role he sings, dances and acts. In his second role he plays Spot, the leader of the Brooklyn Newsies, a super tough character from Brooklyn who tries to help the Manhattan Newsies during the strike. In this secondary role, Zas has more of a speaking part appearing in the entire second act of the two-hour performance. Zas has performed in regional and musical theaters in NY in 2013 including New York Theater: Count to Ten at New York Musical Theater Festival; Home for the Holidays at Ha Ha Comedy Club in Times Square, NY in 2014; as well as dance showcase workshops. Sitting in the audience as a kid watching live productions led Zas into the world of performing. “We used to see their shows all the time,� Zas says, at Pax Amicus Theater in Budd Lake. He recalls watching a kitten production and says to his mom “Mom, I want to do that. I really took to it. Dancing definitely has my heart.� He decided to sign up for a Young Performers Workshop at Centenary College in Hackettstown when he was eight years old. “Dr. Michael Blevins took me under his wings; he taught me how to love the theater,� says Zas. When Zas turned 15, he started taking voice lessons in New York City; followed by dance lessons-including ballet, jazz, tap, modern, contemporary and hip hop-when he was 16 at the Dance Academy of North Jersey in Hopatcong. Zas first auditioned for “Newsies� in May 2014 along with 400 other boys. “They told me I was too young; I was under 18.� So he went back in Nov. 2015 competing against 100 boys that

time for a role. He had to read slides, act, dance and sing. “First thing you had to do was dance; it’s a big dance call. Then they bring you back next day to sing. Then they bring you back to read lines in the show.� Getting the call that he got the part on ‘Newsies,� was by far, his greatest news yet. “They say ‘we will call you.’� So “you wait by your phone all week; then they call you; you freak out; you jump around, you call your mom. continued on next page

continued from previous page “When they called me, I was in New York City; I was auditioning for a commercial shoot. They called me; I was so excited but I couldn’t scream. I called my mom and she cried.” When this tour ends, Zas plans to look
for other roles. “Now that I’m on “Newsies,” I’m going to audition my face off,” he says. With so many amazing new musicals, as well as productions on Broadway, Zas says he plans to take advantage since NY is so close to his home.

teeth? Did you brush your hair; when was the last time you shaved?’ Not having his mom around all the time has been his greatest adjustment. “When you are in this industry, my father and step-father are amazing role models,” says Zas, “but your mom is always right there with you. My mom has always been there with dance to make sure my hair is straight and bowtie is not crooked. “She’s my favorite person, my best friend. She’s my mom.” It has helped that she has seen the show six times, he laughs. She’s here every month.” Zas is thankful for everyone who has supported and trained him. “I’m so appreciative to everyone and where I’ve gotten so far,” says Zas. His dance teacher, agent, and voice teacher, “all have helped me to get to where I am now. Without all of these steps, I don’t think I would have gotten this far. I’m grateful to where I am now.” For more information, visit NewsiesTheMusical.com.

The young actor shares some advice to aspiring performers, told to him by an older, more experienced actor on his tour. “If you’re going to do theater, you have to give it everything you have,” he says. “Dedicate all your time into training. As soon as you get that, yes, it’s so worth it. “This is an unforgiving industry; it’s designed to chew you up and spit you out. There’s a million people in New York City who want what you want, but it’s only the ones who give up everything who get the jobs.” As the youngest on tour, Zas is enjoying the “great” friendships and camaraderie as most of those on tour are also new to the industry. At the same time, he does miss home a bit. He was home Christmas Day after taking the redeye. “I was just so excited to see them,” he says, about his family. His sister, Arianna, is a rising junior at MOHS, and his older sister is Alexandria. “I do miss waking up in the morning and my mom yelling ‘did you brush your

Rainbow Scholarship Presented As Graduates Ready To Color The World With Kindness
By Cheryl Conway heir years at Mt. Olive Schools have come to an end as recent high school graduates, but like a rainbow that reappears and stretches across the sky, these students can now take their lessons of kindness and sprinkle them wherever they go. To celebrate all they have accomplished and the concept of Rainbow Connections that was born by these 22 students 12 years ago, Ann Scotland, second grade teacher at Chester M. Stephens Elementary School in Budd Lake, recently presented two scholarships at the Senior Awards Night held Tues., June 7, at MOHS. Gargi Panigrahi and Victoria Andrews each received $625 and a copy of “Treasures of a Teachers Heart~ Learning to Change the World with Our Own Two Hands,” the book co-written in 2004-2005 by Scotland’s first and second grade looping class. These 22 students were among those who just graduated MOHS, Fri., June 17. “This was the final chapter that we could share in together,” says Scotland. “We wrote our book to offer a voice to the importance of kindness “Rainbow Connections” and the
difference it can make. Since our time together Rainbow Connections have blossomed into a school wide lesson and the CMS family has embraced the magic behind it with a variety of practices. “I don’t think my high school coauthors have a true understanding of the legacy they have left behind from their younger years,” she continues. “They left an imprint that has grown in a beautiful way with time. The applications alone were a testament to the value of our simple term “Rainbow Connections” and its meaning we provided. What a perfect way to celebrate this milestone year as they move forward into the next chapter of life. Providing a scholarship from the proceeds of our book offered support to a peer(s) in the name of humanity. It’s a perfect ending. Now it is time for each individual to create their own story with goodness at its core.” The scholarship was offered to a graduating MOHS senior that was an alumni of CMS, explains Scotland. Nominees had to simply write, in 500 words or less, the impact Rainbow Connections had on them since leaving the school and how they continued on with the mission of kindness over the past
several years. Of the Rainbow Connection Committee, 15 members reviewed the 17 applications that were submitted and narrowed that down to five. “We then gave the five chosen finalist to Lisa Smith Wagner (a mentor for our book) and she picked the two winning applications,” says Scotland. The choice was not
easy. “All of the applications had inspiring moments to share,” says Scotland. “I can tell you that there is great character among the graduating class of 2016! Picking the top five was difficult to do… Lisa Smith Wagner also had a tough time. She stated that she read each entry several times before making her final continued on next page

continued from previous page choice. The same two kept coming back to her.” Gargi Panigrahi shared a “rainbow connection” that went all the way to India, says Scotland. “She visited a poor village there with her grandpa’s Rotary Club. Gargi took it upon herself to purchase and deliver fresh supplies to a school in need there. She stated in her writing “Poverty shouldn’t stop them from being who they want to be and doing what they want to do.” Since coming home she volunteers at Hackettstown Hospital, public library and works at a food pantry once per month.” The next recipient, Victoria Andrews was a leader in the Best Buddy Organization at the MOHS, a role she took on all four years there. “Her mission was to help other students absorb the truths regarding peers that are intellectually and developmentally disabled,” explains Scotland. “She felt that knowledge offers understanding and with that clarity came acceptance as well as appreciation. This year the organization hit a milestone by having mainstream students outnumber the students with special needs. Her reality “We all need a little kindness and respect no matter what our background might be. In truth, we are not that different after all.” Scotland says, “I applaud all of the applicants and the difference they are making out in the world. It was an honor to recognize two of them with this scholarship.” Since the scholarship was granted out of proceeds from Scotland and her co-authors book, she says this will most

likely be a one-time scholarship unless there is an increase in book sales. Published in 2007 by iUniverse, more than 1,000 copies have been sold locally, Florida, Virginia, Colorado, New York, New Hampshire and even Haiti and Japan, notes Scotland. It is available online through sites such as Barnes & Noble and Amazon. Scotland was grateful and honored to be able to pass on an act of kindness from proceeds generated from her book. “I feel honored to have had the opportunity to take part in such a special evening and grateful for the people whom I was able to share in it with,” says Scotland who presented the scholarships at the awards’ night. “As a second grade teacher in the district you don’t always get to see the accomplishments of past students before moving on to their young adult lives. It was confirming and rewarding to know that our students move forward with such promise.” Scotland is so very proud of her former students and thanks them for their contribution in rainbow connections. “I am excited for them!” she says. “I know that they are all going to follow their dreams with heart! I am looking forward to seeing and hearing about all of their accomplishments. I am a fan of each one. “Thank you for a very special time in my career,” she adds. “You added purpose to each one of my lessons. Teaching changed for me after I met all of you…in a very good way. Now go out into the world and be you! Find your clarity and stand by it. Don’t forget to sprinkle all that you do with

kindness. We all know it matters! I’m rooting for you.” Although her students are moving on, Scotland will hold true to her mission. “My plans are to keep it a part of my daily lesson plans and my life in general,” she says. “One day at a time, one act of kindness at a time.” The idea of rainbow connections was recently spread to a Randolph elementary school by a former CMS teacher who decided to share the CMS tradition. Former CMS teacher Brittany Dungan brought the idea to her colleagues at Center Grove Elementary School this past April when second graders ventured off on a kindness tour similar to the annual CMS tour. Scotland is proud that kindness is now spreading to other school districts. “It will be a gift to that school and community of Randolph,” says Scotland. “It would be awesome if more schools got involved. I was excited to hear that she took this on. We hosted a visit with the second graders from Randolph just yesterday. They came and had lunch with us. We watched videos of our tours. The kids had a great conversation about the experience. They also made a new friend in the process. Not to mention they got to see Ms. Dungan ~ a teacher they miss and loved.” Scotland concludes, “Congratulations to the class of 2016! Now go out into the world and do your thing… whatever that might be~ with kindness! I’m so proud of you all.”

Roome Finds Room On D2 Bball Circuit- MOHS Transfer Signs NLI
By Cheryl Conway ard work and persistency has paid off for a former Mt. Olive High School student. Robert “Robbie” Douglas Roome, 18, of Mt. Olive, will be attending Pfeiffer University in North Carolina in the fall to compete at the D2 level in basketball. The point guard/ shooting guard signed a National Letter of Intent (NLI) on March 10. A recent graduate of Valley Forge Military Academy in Wayne, PA, Roome attended his first three years of high school at MOHS, where he played basketball all three years, one year of football and ran track his sophomore year. “I switched schools because I saw myself succeeding more at a Military Academy,” says Roome. “I have also thought about the military as a career in life, so I wanted to see how'd I like it. I didn't feel challenged enough at MOHS and I wanted a school that would challenge me academically and athletically.” Roome plans to study health and phys-
ical education, and hopes to pursue a minor in coaching, when he is not on the court. “The thing I enjoy the most about basketball is the work process that you have to put in,” says Roome, in order to shine on and off the court. It's because I'm a work horse; I know what I want and I'm going to get it, but focusing on my game. Basketball also allows me to express myself the best on the court.” Some of his accomplishments include being a varsity starter and “have the game being run around me. Also being a floor general by being a leader on the court.” Roome averaged 15 points per game, four assists per game and two rebounds per game. The teams he has played for have included the Dream Field AAU program, NJ Panthers, MOHS and at Valley Forge Military Academy his senior year. Roome does not believe in giving up, even when faced with obstacles. “The biggest obstacle that I have faced

in my career so far is height, also knowing that my teammates don't really trust me to make good decisions on the court.” He offers advice to his peers who aspire to succeed. “Focus on the fundamentals of basketball,” he says, but know that “academics should be your number one focus. Because you can be one of the most talented players on the court but a coach won't recruit you if you're poor academically. Also don't get distracted my negative energy. S.H.I.N.E., "Still here ignoring negative energy," he says. “Try to surround yourself with kids who have the same vision as you; I was thankful enough to meet some kids like that,” continues Roome. “Always make sure that you are working for your goals in life. Just as a heads up, for some of y'all, the friends you have now may not always be there because you will cycle through friends, expect to be treated differently because of how successful you are becoming. Trust me it will happen.” Roome is thankful to his friends and coaches who supported him along the way. “I would like to give special shout outs to my brother Griffin Conway for always pushing me to do my best, and for all the hours we have put in working on the craft of our game,” says Roome. “A special thanks goes out to Coach Fisher for always staying on top of me, also telling me what I was doing wrong during games so then I can fix them. Coach Lori, for spending countless hours out in the hot sun during the summer
training me, for making me play a few age groups up so I can develop to the change of speed, skill set and build up my confidence. “Mrs. Best at the high school, for allowing me to basically have 24/7 access to the high school gym so I can get personal workouts in, I won't forget when you would be surprised that I would be in the gym till 10:30 at night, and would tell me it's time for me to go home,” says Roome. “Finally out to my family, cause I know that I've been a pretty big pain at some points, but without y'all I wouldn’t have gotten this far. Without all of y'all who I gave a shout out to, I would not be the athlete, person I am today.”

T
his Fourth of July, take your backyard barbecue staples from basic to bold with knock-out burgers, grilled fruit “steaks” and festive red, white and blue-colored desserts. Opt for burgers with a brazen rub that creates a caramelized outer layer. Make the meal an epic Fourth of July feast with a side of grilled watermelon steaks, marinated in white balsamic vinegar, lemon juice and rosemary, and topped with walnuts, lemon zest and fresh parsley. “Burgers are an Independence Day mainstay, but that doesn’t mean they have to be boring,” said McCormick Executive Chef Kevan Vetter. “Pick a flavor combo that packs a real punch for the rub, then build out the burger with toppings and condiments to match that taste. For example, use Smoky Montreal Steak Seasoning, chili powder and brown sugar to make a sweet and smoky rub,
Fire-Up a Bold Fourth of July BBQ
then top with a rich BBQ mayonnaise, melty cheddar, grilled pickle slices and crispy onion straws.” For more tips and recipes for unforgettable Fourth of July fare, check out McCormick.com and visit McCormick Spice on Facebook and Pinterest.

McEvoy Scores Trifecta At MOHS
By Cheryl Conway laying three varsity sports in high school all four years is one thing, but setting school records in all three is quite some feat. Just graduated with the Mt. Olive High School class of 2016, Sarah McKenna McEvoy, 18, leaves her mark as a star athlete in lacrosse, basketball and soccer. She will be heading to Coastal Carolina University where she signed a national Letter of Intent (NLI) in Nov. 2015 to play Division One lacrosse for the school women’s team. McEvoy looks forward to continued success in lacrosse. Coastal Carolina, it’s “perfect fit for me! It is the size school I see myself at, the location and surrounding towns are amazing, and the overall atmosphere is comforting. I will be playing lacrosse at Coastal. I was recruited, verbally committed, July 2, 2015.” She also plans to study marketing there. While she has enjoyed playing other sports, McEvoy says lacrosse is her top pick as she enjoys “both practice and games, the team dynamic, and the sport in general. It is very fast moving, intense, and exhilarating.” McEvoy started playing lacrosse when she was in the seventh grade. She played for T3 Lacrosse- an Elite Club Team- in 10th and 11th grade, and played all four years on varsity. Her senior year was quite impressive. “We achieved our team goals as a unit by getting better and better each day,” says McEvoy. “In every practice, bus ride, team bonding activity, and game there were unforgettable moments with the girls I will cherish forever. We proved that we are true winners, not because we actually won but because we continued to want to get better, we had great sportsmanship on and off the field, and we would always admit that we could've tried harder.” In lacrosse, McEvoy, who was a captain her junior and senior years, set the school record for most goals scored in one season. During her senior year, she scored 93
N
goals, 12 assists and 54 ground balls. McEvoy also broke the previous school record for career goals scored. The previous record was 173 career goals scored; McEvoy broke that record by scoring 262 goals during her four years playing lacrosse. “I am the MOHS record holder for goals scored (262), goals in a season (93) and total points (307),” she says. McEvoy was also a standout on the basketball court and soccer field, also all four years on varsity. For basketball, McEvoy played “all positions; wherever they needed me,” she says. A senior captain, McEvoy finished with 1,019 points, scoring 512 points her senior year and averaging 20.4 points per game, 12 rebounds per game and four steals per game. She finished her senior year with 90 steals and 285 total rebounds. “I am the third leading scorer in MOHS history” for basketball, says McEvoy. “I currently hold eight school records for basketball: career rebounds: 418; career steals: 97; career field goals made: 372; most points in a season: 512; most rebounds in a season: 285; most field goals in a season: 176; most free throws in a season: 107; and most steals in a season: 90. When she wasn’t shooting a basketball, McEvoy was playing soccer. Her position was to attack, and that she did, finishing with 29 goals and six assists. McEvoy is listed as second for highest number of goals scored in MOHS history for girls’ soccer. “I have been informed I am one of MOHS’ most decorated female athletes and I just won female athlete of the year award,” says McEvoy. She offers some great advice to other aspiring athletes. “Even when things get hard and you feel defeated, push through and keep on working towards your dream,” says McEvoy. “The outcome is better than you will expect! And it is possible to be an active member in numerous clubs, school activities and achieve good academics
even if you are a dedicated athlete.” As she reflects on her years at MOHS, McEvoy is thankful. “Thank you to all of my teammates, coaches, parents, staff, classmates and the athletic department throughout the years,” she says. “I would not be where I am without them. It is an honor playing team sports where I know the girls will always have my back and I'll have theirs. MOHS as a whole truly portrays our lacrosse motto of “One Team, One Vision.”
Local Blood Drives Offered
ew Jersey Blood Services plans to conduct local blood drives which are open to the public. The following drives are scheduled: Fri., June 17, Shoprite, Flanders, 1 p.m. to 7 p.m. Wed., June 22, St. Francis Health Resort, Denville, 1 p.m. to 7 p.m. Thurs., June 23, Moose Lodge 541, Dover, 1 p.m. to 7 p.m. Fri., June 24, Madison Area YMCA, Madison, 2 p.m. to 8 p.m. Mon., June 27, Knights of Columbus 3665, Netcong, 3 p.m. to 9 p.m. Thurs., June 30, Rockaway Townsquare Mall, Rockaway, 10 a.m. to 8 p.m. New Jersey Blood Services, a division of New York
Blood Center (NYBC) is asking for help to maintain an adequate supply of all blood types, but especially O-negative – the “universal” blood which can be transfused into anyone in an emergency. In addition, hundreds of additional blood drives need to be scheduled to meet projected hospital demand. Current inventory of several blood types is running below the desired target level. “It’s simple: hospital patient demand for blood often outpaces our best efforts to recruit donors and schedule blood drives,” said NYBC Executive Director of Donor Recruitment Andrea Cefarelli. “There are always reasons but we have to overcome that for the sake of hospital patients who need us.” “This is one of the toughest times of the year,” Cefarelli added. “We’re asking for our dedicated supporters
to roll up their sleeves to make sure we’re able to provide our hospital partners with whatever they need to take care of their patients.” Blood products have a short shelf life – from five to 42 days, so constant replenishment is necessary. Each and every day there are patients who depend on the transfusion of red blood cells, platelets and plasma to stay alive. But blood and blood products can’t be manufactured. They can only come from volunteer blood donors who take an hour to attend a blood drive or visit a donor center. To donate blood or for information on how to organize a blood drive call 1-800-933-2566; visit: www.nybloodcenter.org.

CMS Students Learn To Be Entrepreneurs
A
Ava Lofgren talks with a customer
bout 75 fifth-graders at Chester M. Stephens Elementary School recently learned the rigors and successes of entrepreneurship by creating and selling their own unique hand-made crafts, toys, and foods. The students participated in TREP$, a two-month-long program that allowed the students to experience the complete product development process, from concept to completion. The program’s finale was an evening marketplace held in the CMS gym where each young entrepreneur had his or her own table that displayed the custom products. Hundreds of parents, community members, friends, and faculty members packed the event and bought the items. There were decorative photo frames, dog tags, sculpted charms, candy and baked goods, emoji pillows, and dog treats to
G
name just a few products. At the marketplace, students gained the experience of interacting with real customers and learned the value of hard work by earning real money. And as the sales started to add up, students beamed with the satisfaction and sense of achievement that can only come from seeing an idea become a successful reality. TREP$, which stands for entrepreneurs, teaches students very concrete business fundamentals through a series of hands-on challenges. The students met weekly to learn a different business skill. Jen Curry, CMS’ instructional supervisor, coordinated the program which was taught by the school’s fifth-grade teachers for the second year at CMS. Pamela de Waal, TREP$ co-creator, attended the sale to personally congratulate the students and staff members involved.
Did You Know?
rilling presents a convenient and tasty way to prepare food. Cooking outdoors is a summertime staple, with some people firing up their grills multiple times a week. To ensure the grill continues to deliver top-notch fare, it is important to keep a clean grill. Cleaning can prolong the lifespan of a grill while also ensuring food is safe to eat. The grill grates should be brushed down after each
and every usage to dislodge any remnants. Remove the burner protectors on a gas grill and scrub them down to remove caked-on grease and other food deposits, wiping any grime from the burners as well. Keep an eye out on how much debris is in the bottom of the grill. Scrape and scoop out any ash and food that has fallen through the grates. Wash down and rinse off any grease.

Budd Lake Illustrator Shares Passion Of Creation With Students
By Cheryl Conway inc Rd. School students in grades three through five got a first-hand look at how a drawing can be turned into a 3-D monster. Illustrator and teacher Dave DeVries of Budd Lake visited the school on Friday, May 27, at 10 a.m., to present his Monster Engine demonstration to the 222 students in the lunch room. His son, Aiden, is a third grader there. Sharing his passion with others, especially to his son, was one demonstration DeVries did not want to miss. “I really wanted my son to experience this while he’s young,” says DeVries, who travels around the country with his presentation when he’s not teaching. “This means more to me that it was done and he was part of it; to make an impression and inspire kids.” To prepare for the presentation, students were asked to complete a pencil drawing of a monster prior to the assembly. “They were informed that there was going to be an assembly and that the artist was going to choose one picture via a lottery,” explains Andrea Shore, Tinc Rd. School social worker, who helped organize the visit. From the drawing he randomly picked, DeVries traced the drawing onto an illustration board as the students watched. During the activity, DeVries uses two easels: a black matte board becomes the finished painted version while the white remains untouched for comparison. “Then I paint it live in front of them,” he explains. “While painting I have help from the audience. I go around and pick kids. Can you come up and draw a moon? I’m kind of a clown up there. I end up with paint all over my face. They get a little messy too. I tell funny stories about the artwork I’ve done. The energy is kind of high.” He had picked the drawing of student Melanie Lopes, who, happened to be absent that day but the finished monster illustration is one to be proud of as DeVries left it for the school to display and enjoy. DeVries also spoke to the students about his work as an illustrator of video games and comic books in which “I had to paint a lot of characters.” He told the students how he just finished working on ‘The LEGO Movie 2.” He presented a slide show and also talked about the work he does with people who have disabilities; and his Monster Project that he has been doing for 18 years. His book, published in 2005- “The Mon-
ster Engine” is a demonstration, lecture and a gallery exhibition of his 48-page collection of drawings, paintings, photo and interviews. The idea stems from his single question “What would a child's drawing look like if it were painted realistically?” DeVries says, “I started looking at kids’ drawings years ago. It began at the Jersey Shore in 1998, where my niece Jessica often filled my sketchbook with doodles. While I stared at them, I wondered if color, texture and shading could be applied for a 3D effect. As a painter, I made cartoons look three dimensional every day for the likes of Marvel and DC comics, so why couldn't I apply those same techniques to a kid's drawing? That was it... no research, no years of toil, just the curiosity of seeing Jessica's drawings come to life.” As an illustrator for 28 years, DeVries decided to go into teaching two years ago when he earned his teaching degree through the Alternate Route Plan. Since Sept. 2014 he has been teaching at the Jefferson Middle School for grades six through eight. Since 1995 he had been teaching illustration at the college level at schools such as Syracuse and Fashion Institute of Technology in Manhattan. He says “I have a lot of teaching experience but teaching little kids is different.” When it comes to art though, he can see creativity no matter the age. “Honestly as a teacher I see kids gifted in many ways,” says DeVries. “Some are great designs; some are great at abstract. Some drawings have such power to them.” DeVries realized his own creative ability at a young age. “When I was a kid, when I was six, my brother Jack, he drew a little bit; he was the family artist. He became a writer. He made me come in and draw a picture.” Nine years old, Jack told his brother to draw a picture from a photograph that he gave him. “When he unlocked the door, I was an artist,” DeVries describes. “That was the first birth of me wanting to be an artist. Before that I drew like any other kid- I drew doodles.” When DeVries was in seventh grade, he started looking at comic books and drawing the figures. When he found out that Syracuse had a “great” illustration program, he applied and received a degree in illustration in 1988. His illustration career began with DC Comics where he worked under contract creating comics, advertising, video games, CD covers,
toy packages. “It was a dream come true,” DeVries states on his website. “I've loved art from the time I was a little kid-- especially comic books.” As a professional, “I was asked to paint Spiderman swinging over New York and Wolverine slashing robots with his unbreakable claws. My job was to make these heroes real for all the people who loved them. “I also painted monsters for Universal
Studios, but those monsters weren't as cool as the ones I saw lurking in my niece's sketches,” he admits. “It was then, at age 33, that I decided to take all the lessons about color, action and detail and apply them to little kid's drawings. It made me remember my childhood and also realize that no matter how old I became I could always see things like a child.” continued on next page

Illustrator Shares Passion...
continued from previous page Painting was always a challenge for DeVries, he admits, adding that he didn’t start painting until he was 21. “When you learn things the hard way, I struggled a lot, for me I was way behind them. I struggled, but I finally got it. If I could make art simple and fun you can inspire others.” This lesson motivated DeVries into teaching, he says. As far as monsters as his chosen object for his project. DeVries says, “I love monsters. To draw them is very freeing. There’s not a lot of restraint. With monsters, there’s really no rules. You can make things look strange and ugly. If you paint a beautiful person, you can’t deviate.” Participants enjoyed DeVries presentation. The presentation was very engaging and energizing for both the students and staff,” says Shore. “It was amazing to see a drawing coming alive and the excitement of the students as they were a part of this. “The students walked away from this assembly seeing that a parent from our own
community is living his passion as an artist as a result of his hard work and dedication,” she continues. “Mr. DeVries was able to provide the students with a deep appreciation for art and how to think outside the box, you don’t always have to use a paintbrush when painting; he used his hands, toothbrush, and painters tape to create special effects.” She adds, “The students enjoyed being a part of the transformation of a simple sketch coming to life. They also were very excited that Mr. DeVries has been involved with Marvel and DC Comic world as well as other amazing opportunities like having his art work in an amusement park. The students learned to pursue their passions.” DeVries’ son was proud. "I loved the assembly and at the end, I took a picture with a bunch of kids and my dad in front of the painting!" says Aiden. His friends told him, “’OMG, your dad is awesome!’" For more information, or to schedule DeVries for a live presentation, email him at monsterbrush@gmail.com.
How To Clean Your Grill During Summer Party Season
rilling season has arrived, and amateur grillmasters everywhere are gearing up for another summer of backyard barbecues and family dinners outside under the summer sun. But once you fire up that grill and cook your first hot dog of the season, your work is not quite done. Cleaning the grill after you have eaten makes it easier to prolong the life of your grill and ensure the foods you eat are safe to consume. • Turn the grill off. Unless you own a charcoal grill, chances are your grill has dials that govern how hot the grill gets when cooking. Make sure these dials are turned to the off position before you start cleaning. If your’s is a gas grill, disconnect the gas while wearing gloves to reduce your risk of accident or injury. • Use the residual heat to make cleaning easier. The sooner you start cleaning the grill after you cook, the easier it might be to make the cooking surfaces sparkle. That’s because the residual heat can make
it easier to remove any leftover buildup from barbecue sauce or seasoning that stuck to the grill after you removed your food. • Use a wire brush to clean the cooking grates. Wire brushes are ideal for cleaning cooking grates. Such brushes can quickly remove grease and food particles, saving grill owners the trouble of scrubbing away with traditional sponges. Once the wire brush’s work is done, you can then clean the grill with a soapy sponge. • Remove food that fell into the well. Food inevitably falls into the well of a grill no matter how skilled a grillmaster might be. If left to fester in the well, such foods can pose a safety risk and promote the growth of bacteria. • Clean the remaining areas of the grill. Marinade, sauce or condiments may find their way onto areas of your grill, and if left unattended, such substances can make a grill very dirty over time. Remove these substances after each barbecue to keep your grill looking new through the summer.

Understand The Mechanics Behind A Saltwater Filter
ummer is pool season. Come spring, homeowners prepare their backyard pools for several months of leisurely floating or engaging games of aquatic volleyball. This preparation includes uncovering the pool and rebalancing the pool’s chemical levels. Pool preparation and maintenance also includes installing a working filter. While there are many different types of pool filters and filter mediums, in recent years, saltwater filter systems have been growing in popularity. Consumers who want to upgrade to a saltwater system may be interested in learning a bit more about how such systems work. Saltwater systems are those in which chlorine is generated by the system itself. These systems do not usually require the addition of a powdered or liquid form of chlorine. Electrolysis occurs thanks to a chemical process that involves pool water passing through a salt cell and being exposed to a low-voltage current. This essentially breaks up the sodium chloride molecules (salt) into hypochlorous acid and sodium hypochlorite, which are sanitizing
agents. Therefore, saltwater systems are not chlorine-free. They just produce chlorine from a less caustic material. One of the main advantages to a saltwater system is the constant generation of free chlorine. Pool water chemistry is often broken down into FC (free chlorine) and CC (combined available chlorine). FC is yet untouched chlorine that can do its sanitizing job. CC contains chlorine and chloramines, which are produced when the chlorine comes in contact with urine, sweat and other contaminants present in the pool. CC is what contributes to the “chlorine smell” of the water. When there isn’t enough FC and there’s too much CC, pool water levels need to be returned to optimal conditions, usually through a shocking process. However, with saltwater systems, there’s always an abundance of FC being delivered into the water, making levels superchlorinated, and these systems eliminate the formation of CC. Saltwater chlorine generators require few, if any, additional chemicals, as they produce nearly neutral pH levels. This isn’t always the case with other chlorine sources, which can raise or lower pH or add to the
presence of other substances, such as calcium, in the water with calcium hypochlorite sanitizers. Because these saltwater filtration and chlorine-generating systems are relatively automatic, they also can mean less maintenance. This is handy for homeowners who go on vacation or do not want to be hassled by the daily care other systems may require. One of the disadvantages to saltwater

systems is the cost, which can be prohibitive to some people. According to Thursday Pool Manufacturing, installing the average system costs anywhere from $800 to $2,000. But some feel that cost is offset by the money saved on pool chemicals over the course of a season. Switching to a chlorine-generating saltwater filtration system can be a worthwhile investment for many pool owners.

Looking For A Few Good Men
en have an identity issue. Hollywood often depicts men as self-centered couch potatoes who are always looking to party, act like adolescents and play video games, while shirking all of men’s responsibilities along the way. One example of this lack of respect for fatherhood may be best illustrated by a recent survey of holiday church attendance. At the bottom of the list with Independence Day was Father’s Day. As a matter of fact, most people no longer can even say when Father’s Day is! Why has this once welcomed day to honor fathers become little more than a footnote to church attendance or the evening news? Despite the fact many have fallen for that misrepresentation, there are many good men who are great dads. They have embraced the God-given role of fatherhood and are impacting their children by helping them to build and live successful lives. Conversely, the one common denominator of many of society’s ills— pornography, human trafficking, abortion, rape, murder, alcoholism, teen suicide, and incarceration—can be traced to absentee fathers. According to statistics, 63 percent of youth suicides are from fatherless homes (US Dept. Of Health/Census) –five times the average. 90 percent of all homeless and runaway children are
O
from fatherless homes – 32 times the average. 85 percent of all children who show behavior disorders come from fatherless homes – 20 times the average. (Center for Disease Control). 80 percent of rapists with anger problems come from fatherless homes –14 times the average. (Justice & Behavior, Vol 14, p. 403-26). 71 percent of all high school dropouts come from fatherless homes – nine times the average. (National Principals Association Report). From these statistics, it is easy to see that men who have abdicated their roles as fathers is the single greatest problem in society today. Dads need to step up to assume their rightful roles as leaders of the family. Kids are looking at them, and studying them, to see if they are really going to protect them, lead them and love them. It is time to once again make it cool to honor those men who have stood up to be great dads, grand-dads or mentors. Enter the That’s My Dad Movement. This movement is designed to honor the man, not necessarily one’s dad, who most impacted one’s life. The movement, inspired by the new book “That’s My Dad!” just released by Broadstreet Publishing, asks people young and old to visit www.ThatsMyDadMovement.com and follow four simple instructions to honor that man and to encourage
others to follow suit. It’s time to breathe new life into a once proud holiday and take part. The truth everyone wants to, or at least yearn to, stand up and shout, “That’s my dad!”
Edison Day Connected Cool Learning-Discovery Groups and the NPS Centennial Junior Ranger Program in Time for Summer
By Michele Guttenberger n Saturday June 4 the West Orange National Historical Park Site of Thomas Alva Edison celebrated Edison Day. It was a day of free admission and special programs for every age. The park had collaborated with West Orange partners to connect community places of continued discovery and learning under their big outdoor tent. There were learning exhibits from the American Chemistry Society (ACS) http://www.njacs.org/, HackNCraftNJ Makerspace http://www.hackncraftnj.org/, around the world club radio chats from the Tri-County Radio Association www.tcara.org, Black Maria cinematic arts demo – (Nonprofit) Mono No Aware http://mononoawarefilm.com, and a courtyard electric car display from – New Jersey Electric Automobile Association https://njeaa.org/ A special recognition was given to the Junior Ranger program table. On Aug. 25, the National Park Service is turning 100 years old. In 1916 when most of us Americans still traveled by horse and buggy, we found popular support to rally for the initiatives Republican President Theodore Roosevelt had started in preserving America’s amazing natural wonders and historic places. In 1916 there were 35 national parks and monuments. Today there are over 400 National Park sites all over the country, in places you might never expect like - the genuine
factory lab buildings Thomas Edison used to conduct his innovative engineering and technology for new modern homes and businesses of the late 19th Century and beyond. Edison Day was an opportunity for kids to become a Centennial Junior Ranger with a commemorative 100th Anniversary Badge fittingly made from etched wood. New Jersey has 12 National Park sites. And many folks have started an American summer tradition to visit these NPS places and collect different park Junior Ranger patch and badges as family earned National souvenirs. You are never too old to be a Junior Ranger. There are dedicated websites for each Park to view their programs. The West Orange site is www.nps.gov/edis. To obtain the Junior Ranger badge there is a set of Junior Ranger workbook activities for children from ages 5 and up to complete. After they successfully complete their list of activities they must take an oath that they promise to share their knowledge with others and enjoy and protect all National Parks. This recognition certificate is signed by a Park Ranger and presented to them along with their badge. Here is the link to download the Centennial Junior Ranger activity workbook to get a head start this summer. https://www.nps.gov/kids/pdf/Centennial-JrRangerBooklet.pdf.
For more special summer programs at Thomas Edison National Historical Park in West Orange see www.nps.gov/edis or Visitor Information 973-736-0550 x11.
