Netcong Recognizes Memorial Day With Parade
By Jane Primerano he temperature on the bank sign on Ledgewood Road read 81 degrees, but the threatened thunderstorms didn’t show up to mar the Memorial Day Parade. The ceremony was moved from Memorial Park in Netcong, right on Lake Musconetcong, to the American Legion Post up the road, but the parade went off without a hitch fea-

turing the Lenape Valley Patriots Marching Band, boy and girl scout troops, and emergency services from Netcong, Stanhope, Budd Lake, Byram Township and the Andovers. The traditional laying of a wreathe in the lake from a canoe was not held. Musconetcong Post 278 Chaplain Jerry Schard was master of ceremonies. Rev. Hugh Matlock of the Stanhope Presbyterian Church read the roster of war dead from Netcong, Stanhope and Mt. Olive Township from wars starting with World War I. He also told a story about one of his parishioners who worked in an office on Maple Avenue in Netcong on the day a military car pulled up and a chaplain got out telling her one of her two sons who were both serving in a war zone had been killed. Sussex County Freeholder George Graham spoke briefly, recalling a phone call he got from Congressman Rodney Frelinghuysen about a soldier killed in Afghanistan. Graham was on the Stanhope Borough Council at the time and the soldier’s address as given to Frelinghuysen was listed as Stanhope, but Graham soon realized the man was actually from Hopatcong Heights, which has a Stanhope zip code. “I called Sylvia [Petillo, the mayor of Hopatcong] and she had to make that walk up to the boy’s house,� Graham said. “Memorial Day isn’t only about the photos and the memories,� Graham said. “It’s about the paper boy, the Boy Scout, who hears the call and answers.� Post Commander Carl Beale thanked the people who attended the parade and the service. “This is the time when our veteran’s groups want to show our vets we care about them and their families,� Beale said.

Netcong School Features Framed Art
etcong School held its annual art show on May 19. This year all students had a framed piece of art in the show. Britt Huss, Art teacher in Netcong, used a company called Artome to create the amazing display of artwork. Artome works with schools to provide students the opportunity to see their artwork displayed as if in a “real” art show. Artome provides the school with paper, students create drawings and paintings on the paper provided. The artwork is then shipped back to Artome. The company frames all of the artwork and sends a representative to set up the students art work on display racks the day of the show. Often, this

he first Earth Day took place in 1970, giving a voice to a growing movement that espoused the importance of addressing environmental issues and adopting eco-friendly lifestyles. This year, Earth Day took place on April 22. The late Wisconsin senator Gaylord Nelson is credited with coming up with the idea for a day devoted to focusing on environmental issues affecting the entire planet. Nelson was reportedly inspired by the vehement student anti-Vietnam War movement that took root in the United States in the late 1960s and continued into the 1970s. Senator Nelson felt that if he could inspire similar passion among the masses about
environmental issues, then those issues would force their way into the national agenda. Senator Nelson’s intuition proved correct, and on April 22, 1970, 20 million Americans gathered in streets, parks and auditoriums to demonstrate against policies and practices that contributed to the deterioration of the environment. Today, Earth Day has spread far beyond U.S. borders and is now observed in 192 countries across the globe. New initiatives continue to be proposed as the world population grows increasingly aware of the effects of climate change and the role ordinary citizens can play to protect the environment every day.

Hopatcong Man At RHS Named Morris County Teacher of the Year
By Jane Primerano cott Malagold thought he wanted to teach college. Then, he thought he might want to be a lawyer. But, he enjoyed a temporary job teaching at a public high school in The Bronx and by his second year of law school knew the law wasn’t for him. So, by a somewhat circuitous route, Malagold is this year’s Morris County Teacher of the Year. A teacher of social studies and law and public safety at the school, Malagold first taught at Morris County School of Technology as a maternity leave replacement. He then did a maternity leave replacement at Millburn Middle School before getting a full time position at Randolph High School, teaching history and civil law. “When I got an offer to return to MCST, it was a very difficult decision as I felt like I was thriving at Randolph and didn’t want to keep moving around. However, I knew firsthand how great a school MCST is and decided to take the offer,” Malagold said in

an email. He has been there for three years. This year Malagold assisted with the transition of the Academy for Law and Public Safety from Butler High School back to the main Denville campus. He teaches a freshman course strictly for students in that academy as well as a civil and criminal law course that is an elective as is his contemporary issues in sociology course. In addition, Malagold got a grant from InnovateNJ to develop a course in critical thinking skills. Called philosophy and logic, it will premier next year. Malagold is one of five teachers from MCST who works as an NJ Achievement Coach. They train other teachers in their own and other schools and also develop content for the training. A graduate of George Washington University in Washington, D.C., Malagold majored in religion and minored in anthropology. He considered going to graduate school, but decided on law school and went to New York University. He was admitted to the New Jersey Bar, but never
practiced. He had obtained a certificate of eligibility for teaching, but couldn’t get a job with just those credentials so he worked as a legal researcher. When he lost that job, he received a grant from New Jersey unemployment to go to William Paterson University for 30 credits of graduate work leading to a certificate of eligibility with advanced standing. Malagold hasn’t stopped learning. He received grants from the Gilder Lehrman Institute of American History and attended seminars at Stanford University during the summers of 2013 and 2015. He also attended seminars in London and New York during the summers of 2012 and 2015 in London and New York. He also tested a new curriculum called “Rock Your World” during the 2013 and 2014 school year. He worked with the NJ Education Consortium in Newark in 2009 as community outreach coordinator. In that capacity, he collaborated with Rutgers University students to canvass local businesses and coordinated the Charter School Athletic
League’s Spring 2009 soccer season. Another outreach was with the Merck Summer Institute for Bioethics as mock trial coordinator in July 2009 and July 2010. A Randolph native, Malagold now lives in Hopatcong.

Block Party Attracts Many For Full Day Festivities Each year, the Block Party fills the Hopatcong State Park with vendors: food, crafts, retail and non-profit organizations. It is an all-day festival of all things lake. This year the weather threatened to dampen the proceedings, but intrepid lake residents didn’t mind a little rain. And the skies cleared by early afternoon, creating a perfect day for a party.
Barone and the CSG were symbolic of the theme of the block parties. They celebrate the lake and everything it stands for: a clean and healthy environment, enjoying the outdoors, living together in community. The Foundation provided entertainment on a portable stage: Soul Groove, The Uncle Brothers, Mickey Freeman and continued on next page

continued from previous page Glenn Roberts Band. Presentations were by the Roxbury Area Model Plane Club and the Knee Deep Club. The KDC showed children the various lake species. Trustees Mike Truglio and Peter Pelligrino said they are always trying to interest kids in fishing, including with their annual contest for little children at Mt. Arlington Memorial Park and the summerlong junior contest. Down at the lake, boat rides were being offered for free. The Miss Lotta excursion boat and patio boats plied the lake as the Jefferson Township rescue boat and the soon-to-be retired fireboat were moored at the dock. Among the non-profit organizations soliciting funds was Jefferson Township Fire Company 2 which is raising money for a new fire boat. Jefferson has the most shoreline and the inhabited islands, so its fire department maintains the fire boat, but each of the communities around the lake benefit from it.

the CSG to grow vegetables for donations. “We donated 200 pounds to the Roxbury Food Pantry and 240 to the Hopatcong Senior Citizens. We’re shooting for 600 pounds this year,� Barone said. A new group at the Block Party is the Hopatcong Kiwanis. The group spun off from the Mt. Olive Kiwanis. They are trying to get a Key Club started at Hopatcong High School. Appropriate for a lake event, the Roxbury Girl Scouts were teaching small children knot-tying skills. Many people visited the Foundation’s booth for the restoration of the Lake Hopatcong Train Station. Foundation member Robin Kline said the station is being restored to its 1911 condition. One of the major fund raisers is “buy a tile.� The Foundation was able to find a company that can replicate the roof tiles on the station and interested residents are being asked to buy a tile for $25. They will be given a chance to write their names or a short message on the underside of the dark green tiles. Once complete, the station will house the Lake Hopatcong Foundation staff, a display area and a meeting room for local groups.

Students Explore Careers Through Restaurant Visit
n Thurs., May 26, Mrs. Evans and Mrs. Konyak took their classes to Rose’s restaurant in Netcong, on a career exploration trip. In a series of trips this year, the students have been exploring the different business and possible careers within their own community. In addition to career opportunities, the trip provided the students with the opportunity to utilize their math and social skills in a public setting. The classes have been practicing how to order their meals, decipher the bill and compute the
tip. The students were instructed to each order a meal and drink for under $10. The waitress was
kind enough to make nine separate checks so that each student could pay their own bill and leave a tip.

Volleyball Tournie Supports Ecuador Quake Victims
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.

The Job Board was launched in early March as a way of connecting job seekers with local businesses in the Lake Hopatcong area. “Since we are in contact with local businesses and individuals in the area, it was a natural fit to link those looking for help with those looking for opportunities,� said Jen-
N
nifer DeWitt, assistant development director. “We are always happy to make resourceful connections for the community.� Local businesses interested in posting jobs should visit the Lake Hopatcong Foundation website at http://www.lakehopatcongfoundation.org/lake-info/job-board/ and fill out the short form. All submissions are reviewed before they are posted on the job opportunities board. Postings are active for
a minimum of 30 days and potentially up to 90 days depending on quantity of submissions. A plethora of categories can be found for individuals seeking jobs which include: intern, seasonal, volunteer, contract, part-time and full-time.

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 August 25, 2016 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.

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, 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.

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.” 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.” 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.” 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.” A lion exhibit is also in the works. In addition to the new animal exhibits and developments, the café 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.

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
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, granddads 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!”
