take pictures. The band looked and sounded professional!

Earlier this month, the students at

Durban Avenue School were chanti-

ng, Let Freedom Ring! with the

Pushcart Players of Verona, NJ. The

Pushcart Players produce an American

Sampler consisting of some of Americas

best loved folk tunes and ensembles to por-

tray the social studies of Americas begin-

nings. These players make history come

alive in their piece Let Freedom Ring

which left the students singing along to the

familiar tunes. Quickly moving from the

beginning of time to the arrival of the first

Americans from Asia, the Pushcart Players

led the students of Durban Avenue through

over 30,000 years of history.

Focusing on major events in our nations

past, the Pushcart Players entertained us

with their song and dance, while educating

us on the history of our red, white, and blue!

extensive experience school reform and

curriculum development from her previous

ents, students, and residents. She uses data

on where stakeholders feel specifics

improvements need to be made.

Mrs. Randina created District goals in

August after settling into the position and

meeting with all stakeholders for their input

on improvement areas. These goals were

presented to all staff the first day back to

school for the 2013-14 school year. To pro-

The Comeback School - Hopatcongvide another layer of active participation to

improve the student achievement, the Board

entered into an agreement with New Jersey

Strategic Plan; this is where more input is

gathered from all stakeholders to identifyareas of improvement over a series of meet-

ings. Many of these areas are already being

addressed in Mrs. Randinas District goals.

At the February 24th Board meeting,

Mrs. Randina provided an update on the

progress of the District goals at this point in

time. There are four goals overall: educa-

tional improvement with a strong focus on

student data, teacher professional training

focused on improving student effectiveness

with the Common Core and PARCC,

administrative, social emotional learning,character education, and safety and security.

Each is jammed packed with all-encom-

passing and specific programs, staff

changes, innovative curriculum, profession-

al development, instructional strategies,

teacher training, etc. For the full detailed

presented multiple times during

Hopatcongs In-Service days. Mrs. Randina

is doing everything in her power to improve

student achievement, curriculum andinstruction, and carry out the District goals,

all to promote Hopatcongs school reform.

In our data driven educational world, Mrs.

Randina has proven to demonstrate a mas-

sive amount of evidence to prove that stu-

dent achievement is first and foremost. Mrs.

Randina says "I feel a responsibility to the

students and to provide an exemplary edu-

cation and prepare them for their future.

ing global society.

Hopatcong schools are on an upward

trend and just might be the comeback

school. Keep an eye on them. Their under-

lying theme that supports their goals is to

create The New Hopatcong.

Charles Gounod will

be performed at the

First United Methodist

Church of Newton on PalmSunday, April 13th at 4pm.

A press release on the St.

Cecilias Mass shares,

Gounod wrote the Mass to

honor Saint Cecilia, the

patron saint of musicians

and church music. While

many Masses were com-

posed by Gounod and other

Romantic composers to be

performed in a concert hall,

the Saint Cecilia Mass was

intended to be part of a reli-

gious service.

The work was first per-

formed in its entirety for the

church of Saint Eustache in

Paris on Saint Cecilias Day,November 22, 1854. And

because the work was writ-

ten to honor the patron saint

of music, Gounod knew he

had to create something

magnificent. He did not dis-

appoint.

The Palm Sunday pro-

gram will also include

Marche Solennelle by

Gounod. This work, origi-

nally for two harps, wasarranged for harp and piano

by John Thomas. For this

T

here has been a growing trend in public

education of a reduction in government

funding coupled with a desire to providea better educational experience for students.

This problem is now being solved with founda-

tions. Education Foundations are filling the gap

of funding needs between the government funds

available and the actual funds needed to fulfill a

standard of excellence for the children. Raising

money to support the Byram Township schools

is the main purpose for the Byram Township

Education Foundation (BTEF), which is a non-

profit organization.

The BTEF is funded through private

fundraising and donor contributions and it oper-ates independently from the school district to

provide funds not available through the districts

normal operating budget.

The BTEF is happy to announce that it is

holding its first annual Tricky Tray on Saturday,March 29, 2014 at the Byram Intermediate

School. Proceeds from the event will be used to

provide resources to enrich teaching, fund pro-

grams and activities to facilitate and inspire stu-

dent achievement, and provide an important link

between the community and the classroom.

Committees have been planning for months to

make this event one of their biggest fundraisers.

By investing in the education of the children

of Byram, you invest in the future of Byram.

Tax deductible donations can be made to

BTEF, P.O. Box 15, Stanhope, NJ 07874.

G

oodbye, Goodbye Friday! Hello

5Against5O (5A50), the bigger

and better than ever band from

Hopatcong formerly known as GBF.About 100 people attended the bands

fundraising concert for the Girl Scouts, 6:30

p.m. to 9 p.m.., on Friday, March 7, at the

Hopatcong High School auditorium. The

original show was scheduled for Feb. 14 for

a Valentines Day Concert, but the snow

storm and school closings got in the way.

More than $1,000 was raised for the Girl

Scouts from the concerts proceeds. The

name may have changed but its intent of

reaching out to the community still plays

on.5A50 is continuing their outreach and

are still helping the community, says band

member Mark Braun. We have a number

of charities that we regularly support, such

as The American Cancer Society, Wounded

Warriors and Musicians On Call. We also

do a lot of fund raising for the Girl Scouts.

We typically raise funds and donate our

time to each of these organizations and

causes.

With two new band members, 5A50 has

created a new, more mature sound andhave more robust harmonies, says Braun.

Their new lead singer has taken the band to

another level and they are endearing them-

selves to new fans as well as old ones. There

is something for everyone in all their new,

original music and great top 40 coversongs.

Each of the five band members brings

their skill and passion for music.

Aaron Henriquez, 20 of Netcong, plays

guitar and is backup vocals, Self-taught, he

has been playing since the age of eight.

Loves to play and lives for people to hear

his music.

Mark Braun, 20 of Hopatcong, plays

Bass and sings backup vocals. He has been

playing since the age of 13 and loves to play

live, loves peoples reactions and the excite-ment it brings.

Anthony Arci, 21 of Stanhope, drummer

for 5QA50, has been playing since he can

remember. He loves the drums because it

gives him the most freedom to express him-

self in music.

Brett Pezza, 19 of Hackettstown, plays

Guitar. He has been playing for four years

and was taught by John Zambri, Guitar is

his passion and he has dedicated his life to

his instrument, nothing makes him happi-

er, band members have noted.Austin Dibernard, 20 of Hackettstown, is

New Name, New Members - Local Band Ready To Rockthe Lead Singer. Has been singing ever

since he could remember, He has been

taught by many artists that influenced him

and helped him create his own sound and

creativity, What he loves the most aboutsinging is his ability to create emotions in

his music that others can feel.

In existence since 2008, the band

changed its name six months ago when it

added two new members and a new sound.

The band name was changed in recog-

nition of the two new members and the new

sound, and to move on from an exciting

past, to a more mature and greater future,

says Henriquez.

5Against50, or 5A50 represents five

guys against all odds making their mark inthe U.S. and trying to independently bring

their brand of music and messages to every-

one, says Dibernard. The name originates

from our new members and a 50 50 chance

of following our dreams, hence 5 (mem-

bers) against 50 (% chance of making itcontinued on next page

happen).

5A50 is predominantly a pop/rock band

with influences from all musical genres

enjoyed by mostly pre-teens to young

adults, but also a diverse audience young

and old, describes Pezza.

Our music does not have a single mes-

sage or theme, we write about things in our

life we want to share and have our listeners

feel the same emotions we are feeling at the

time, says Arci. However, our music is

generally fun filled and exciting.

Dibernard says, Were working hard to

finish new music and videos that will be

posted soon! We are all very excited to

share our new sound with everyone and we

hope everyone continues to support us as

we embark on this new exciting journey.

Next performances are set for March 14

and March 28 at Stanhope House, and

Webster Hall.

Some of the the queens appearing at the fundraiser stand for a picture with the current Miss

New Jersey.

By Elsie Walker

In what might be thought of as a preview

of this years Miss Jersey pageant, some

area queens will be sharing their talents

and platforms at a fundraising luncheonheld by the local Eastern Star Chapter from

noon to 3pm on April 5th. The luncheon

will include homemade soups, assorted

sandwiches, green leaf salad, assorted

desserts, and coffee, tea and water. The

event will held at the Musconetcong Lodge

(Rt. 46 & International Drive South) in

Budd Lake. Tickets will be $10 each.

Those queens appearing will be Miss

Coastal Shore 2014 , Cierra Kaler Jones, of

Galloway; Miss Gateway 2014, Angie

Abdelrehim of Verona; , and Miss Tri-County 2014, Ellen Chu of Park Ridge. In

addition, Samantha Rizzuto, of Long

Valley, Miss New Jerseys Outstanding

Teen 2014 and Miss Gateway's Outstanding

Teen 2014,Alexis Mott of Hopatcong, will

also be on hand.

Coordinating the event is Sharon

Rosequist of Netcong. She is the Executive

Director of the Miss Tri-County pageant,

which is part of the Miss American organi-

zation.

Since both organizations are non- prof-it, and since I work so hard helping the girls

achieve their goal, I came up with the idea

for them to help my Eastern Star chapter

raise money for our charities. The national

platform for Miss America is Children's

Miracle Network, and one of our many

charities is Shiner's Children Hospital for

crippled children. The girls are always will-

ing to help out. This is also a dress rehears-

al for the girls to practice their talent.

Some of them have not performed since

they were crowned at their local pageant. I

offer this opportunity to all of the local title-

holders. It is a fun day and affords the title-

holders a chance to practice explaining their

platform in a public setting, and perform

their talent..

Performances will include belly dancing,

lyrical dance, Ballet en Pointe, and classical

singing.

As varied as the talents, are the platforms

which the queens champion. Chu, who has

congenital hearing loss, will discuss

Overcoming Obstacles: Disabilities

Awareness. She wants others coping with

disabilities to know that they are not alone,

and that a request for assistance is not a cry

for attention. Support and resources are pro-

vided for a reason: to help everyone succeed

Third runner up in last years Miss New

Jersey pageant is Kaler Jones, who as thisyears Miss Coastal Shore, will speak on

Empowering Today's Youth Through Arts

Education. Miss Gateway 2014,

Abdelrehim, will talk about Raising

Cultural Awareness: Redefining All

American.

Rizzutos platform,is Balancing the

Equation, which focuses on the need to

strengthen science, technology, engineer-

ing, and math programs for younger stu-

dents in New Jersey and the United States

Rizzuto, a junior at the Math, Science andEngineering Academy located at Morris

Hills High in Rockaway, has created a pro-

gram called STEM-CAM (Science,

Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics

through building Confidence, changing

Attitudes, and Mentoring). The program,

held at various area libraries, introduces

these subjects to younger students in fun

ways. It received a grant from

Dosomething.org in 2013

As Miss Gateways Outstanding Teen

2014, Mott will talk on a platform that hastouched her life through a family friend:

MLD (Metachromatic Leukodystrophy)

Awareness. MLD is a condition that affects

1 in every 20,000 persons. It is caused by

a deficiency of the enzyme arylsulfatas.

Without the enzyme, the central nervous

system and peripheral nervous system fail

to function properly. The son of a family

friend has this condition and that is how

Mott became aware of it. She has partici-

pated in walks for it and hopes to bring

about more awareness by having it as her

platform

In reflecting on what being able to share

their platforms at such a venue means, Chu

shared, These type of appearances where

we discuss our personal platforms, which

are often times dedicated to causes that are

important to us, serve as part of our greater

initiative to remind the general public that

the world is not perfect. By promoting our

platforms, we hope to educate those to lis-

ten, empowering them to feel compelled to

either support our cause or find something

that resonates within them and get involved.

A simple education on a public issue is

Miss NJ Contestants to Appear at Eastern Star Luncheon

sometimes all it takes to inspire, motivate,

and encourage - and that's what we aim to

achieve through these informal, candid dis-

cussions on our platforms. As for sharing

our talent, we all each have our own inter-

ests and hobbies that we are equally pas-

sionate for. Aside from a performance per-

spective, to be able to share our other pas-

sions with an audience enables us to combat

the stereotypes associated with beauty

queens. The audience gets to see us in a dif-

ferent facet of our lifestyles.



AND WE CAN PROVE IT!

It was a day of good music and good food which raised

at last count $862. The event was the recent Sandy

Relief Mardi Gras and Jazz Breakfast at the Stanhope

United Methodist Church. In addition to the entertainment

at the breakfast, jazz music was heard during the morningsworship service, along with an update of the Sandy Relief

efforts of the United Methodist Church organization. For

one local family, helping to make the event a success was

definitely a family affair.

The breakfast was put on by the United Methodist Mens

group of the church. Co-coordinating the event were a

father and son duo, Scott and Jeremy of Byram Township.

Jeremy Lefurge is a Lenape Valley High School student.

Not only did the Lefurges work on making sure the event

ran smoothly, but they also performed as part of the enter-

tainment.

It was great to see so many people enjoying themselvesat a fun event while raising money for a great cause. People

complimented the great music, great food, and wonderful

Mardi Gras decorations .One of the highlights at this year's

event was having my family play jazz together as a quartet.

Our older son, Zach borrowed an arrangement of the tune

"American Patrol" from his Kutztown University Jazz

Ensemble for us to perform. Zach played lead trumpet, my

wife, Rosalie, played clarinet, his brother, Jeremy played

baritone sax, and I played alto sax. Our friends and family

at the breakfast loved it!" shared Scott Lefurge.

Zachary Lefurge shared that his motivation in helping

came from things he had seen. "After visiting some friendsduring winter break and seeing firsthand what Sandy did to

New Jersey, I wanted to help out with the relief efforts. As

a music performance major at Kutztown University, it was

really nice to come home and be able to perform for friends

and family, and help out a great cause, he said.

Others joined the Lefurges in performing at the break-

fast. One was Gabrielle Worthington of Stanhope, who sang"It's Been a Long, Long Time" accompanied by Zachary

Lefurge on trumpet. Angelo Benincasa of Andover played

the piano in a duet of "Five Foot Two, Eyes of Blue" with

Scott Lefurge and accompanied the Jazz band during the

worship service.

We had fun performing jazz music for everyone who

attended the pancake breakfast. I was happy that my friend

Josh Kirschner, who attends Lenape Valley, could join us to

play drums for our jazz group. I was hoping for some addi-

tional musicians to join us; however, we still had a great

event with lots of great music and great food. It was nice

being able to have an event like this to help people who arestill in need after last year's hurricane," said Jeremy Lefurge

The sounds of jazz continued during the worship service,

through a variety of songs including the Lefurge male trio

playing, "What a Wonderful World"

Also heard at the service was a Sandy Relief update.

Two videos were shown; they dealt with the relief efforts of

the United Methodist Church. Included was a message

from the bishop of the greater New Jersey Annual

Conference, Bishop John R. Schol, thanking people

for all that has being accomplished and reminding every-

one that the United Methodist Church is in the relief effort

for the long haul. Also shared were some of the statistics onthat relief effort so far: 12 families back home, 15 more

houses in process, and work being done to get approval to

work on 22 more. Forty-four churches and two communi-

ties have been worked upon A total of 58,000 volunteer

hours have been spent on the effort.

It was good to have the people of the community know

that the church cares for the communities around us; we justdon't take of ourselves, said the Rev. Tom Kinter, pastor of

the church.

These funds [raised that day] will enable our crews to

purchase the supplies needed to rebuild homes, churches

and community centers, Kinter added.

The pastor also shared that on April 5th volunteers from

the Skylands District [United Methodist] churches will

come together in southern New Jersey as part of the relief

effort. Work teams will gather at different home sites to do

whatever needs to be done, such as prepare meals for the

volunteers, sheetrock homes, paint, or clean up.

During Lent we are gathering cleaning supplies, papergoods, water powder drinks, coffee that will be delivered to

the host site that houses the volunteers. There is also the

opportunity to prepare a Sunday welcome dinner as the

volunteers arrive and a Thursday evening thank you din-

ner, said Kinter.

Reflecting on the days event and worship, Scott Lefurge

shared, Our United Methodist Men's group at the church

likes to sponsor a variety of activities which allow our con-

gregation, our friends, and the surrounding community to

enjoy [things] together .This event, like our outdoor wor-

ship service and picnic held on Netcong Day, is a great

opportunity for people to come see that we are more thanjust the beautiful stone church by the lake."

On Sunday, February 23, 2014, Cub

Scout Pack 93 held its annual Blue

and Gold awards ceremony at the

Knights of Columbus Hall in Netcong. The

purpose of a Blue and Gold is to celebrate

Scouting Anniversary Week by recogniz-ing the achievements of the Scouts and to

thank the leaders and parents as well. The

Blue and Gold is one of the biggest high-

lights of a Scouts year, bringing together

the Scouts, their families and their leaders.

Pack 93s Blue and Gold Banquet included

many activities that were enjoyed by all.

The ceremony began with a Color Guard

advance and the Pledge of Allegiance, and

then it went right into presentations given

by each Cub Scout Den. One den created a

stage and then performed an entire puppetshow that they wrote themselves. Another

den sang a song and another den acted out a

skit. These performances were followed by

a STEM activity/project led by the

Cubmaster, David Angell. Each den assem-

bled a rocket that they then took turns

launching! This was really exciting for the

Scouts, while at the same time they werelearning Science. All of the Scouts were

then presented with the awards that they had

earned. They earned belt loops, beads and

activity pins, and each Scout looked for-

ward to receiving these awards. Also, each

den had worked on requirements to achieve

their next rank, and they were commended

for that as well. The high point of the

awards was the Crossing Over ceremony

of the Webelos IIs into Boy Scouts. The

Scouts crossed over a wooden bridge built

by the scouts and as they three Webelos IIscouts became Boy Scouts of Troop 276,

they removed the neckerchiefs they wore as

Cub Scouts Come Visit Pack 93 in Netcong

Cub Scouts and received new neckerchiefs

in the colors of Troop 276. Their parents

followed them over the bridge as well in

support of their sons and Scouting. The

afternoon was rounded out with a luncheon,

and then a cake baking contest. Each fami-

ly brought a cake that they have decorated

in a Cub Scouting theme, and there were so

many creative and delicious cakes!

Everyone shared. Pack 93 would be glad to

welcome new members that would be inter-

ested in joining Cub Scouts. Please contact

the Cubmaster, David Angell, at: dan-

[email protected], or by calling him at:

973-727-2047. The next Pack meeting will

be held on 3/21/14 at 7pm and will be held

in the St. Michaels CYO gym (across from

the St. Michaels Church). If interested,

please come so that you could meet the

Pack.

fenced in yard too. He is a very handsome dog with beau-

tiful eyes and a lovely, gorgeous full coat. He is friendly

tell you verbally whats on his mind. He is not good with

Perry does this really cute thing where he runs to the toy box

and pulls everything out to play! It's just so cute! Perry is a

playful puppy but he can also be super mellow. He is food

motivated so he is easy to train & he is doing great with house

training."Perry is enjoying his foster home, but he is eagar to find a

family of his own to shower with affection. Do you have a fur-

ever home for him? If you have a furever home for this pet,

beautiful, fluffy, soft coat in the world. Its as soft as but-

ter! He walks gently on the leash and is a very well

times he wants to play. His best scenario for a home will

provide him the opportunity to have both quiet time and

enough play time to tire him out. Prior experience with the

to our shelter when his family could no longer keep him. Itseems his heart was broken when he was left in an animal

very gentle. He loves company and will be a great compan-

ion and addition to a loving home.

Mrs. Catizones class jumped out of the textbook this past

month for their study of Colonial America. Using the entire

period between the first colonies in The New World through

the growth of the colonies up to Pre-Revolutionary wartimes, Mrs. Catizones fifth grade class partnered up and

chose a topic that they wanted to research and report on.

The entire project is paid for with funds received through a

grant from The Hopatcong Education Association.

Students were taught the proper way to research using

index cards and the Internet, as well additional sources.

They were responsible for writing the information in their

own words, or use quotes and cite the source they copied

from. They kept track of websites and books on the back of

the index cards.

Colonial America Studies with Mrs. CatizoneMrs. Catizones class dedicated much time to creating

outlines of their presentations, engaging with technology,

and intensely editing their work through self-editing, peer-

editing, and finally, teacher-editing.

When the reports were complete, the students created

PowerPoints using their reports and pictures from the inter-net. With a minimum of 10 slides, the fifth grade students

were to present their findings on the topic they chose.

Student scribes kept track of mistakes, slide by slide, as

teams practiced presenting. Students then created a 3D proj-

ect that represented their topic. This year, fourteen projects

were created.

Parents, family and administrators were invited to the

classroom to see the hour long slideshow presentation puton by the students. After the impressive presentation, all

were invited to get a closer look at the 3D creations!

Thomas Edisons incandescent light

bulb had its first public demonstra-

tion on December 31, 1879. The

incandescent bulb was not just a new light-

ing choice for the home; it was a phenome-non that would propel new lifestyles and

cultures. It would become the icon of mod-

ern day enlightenment. The first public

demo of the incandescent light bulb was a

milestone event which marked a new era in

civilization. It was witnessed by those who

were fortunate enough to make the trek to

Menlo Park, New Jersey. People gathered

from hundreds of miles to view this demon-

stration. The show stopping performance of

this demo was watching an entire building

being lit up by these incandescent bulbs.The reaction to the incandescent light

bulb was enormous. The light bulb became

a non-living celebrity icon. Newspaper

illustrators would try to capture the magic

of this modern day marvel in 1879 through

black and white illustrations. Drawings

were drawn and redrawn. Promotional

images of the light bulb and its famous

inventor would soon appear on souvenirs,

glassware and postcards. The celebrity

light bulb became the rave of the Victorian

era that also was connected to a portrait of

the Wizard of Menlo Park Thomas

Edison. Political newspaper cartoons were

also popular in the Victorian era where the

light bulb represented the bright inventions

of Edison. This bright invention soon mor-

phed into the bright idea. Although photo-graphs were available in 1879, they were

not commonly used in newspapers.

Drawings were much cheaper to print and

produced more legible imagery from these

late 19th Century printing presses. It is easy

to see how the illustrators light bulb was

positioned above the inventors head. This

newspaper press layout would incidentally

provide that eureka moment to connect a

thinking and bright idea icon to the light

bulb. Edisons bright idea bulb became the

accepted icon throughout the world thatexpanded into three centuries. Todays 21st

century emoticons include the idea incan-

descent light bulb image.

Unfortunately, this icon may soon fade

away from emoticon memory. The Energy

Independence and Security Act (EISA) law

signed in 2007 is phasing out Edisons icon

of 20th century life- our familiar incandes-

cent light bulb. Although the bulb proved it

could burn long and bright, it was too hot

for the energy conscious of the 21st century.

The incandescent light bulb, wastes 90 per-

cent of its energy use as heat, not light.

Will the new bulbs rearrange our think-

ing? The old thought is that the human

brain uses about 100 Watts of energy

enough to light a large standard light bulb.

Now from this same data we must envisionseveral CFL (Compact Florescent Light)

bulbs in its place.

Alva Edison Museum - NPS - Open

To celebrate the completion of 100

days in first grade, Ms. Fratangelo

and Ms. Acquavella discussed 100

things that the children love about Hudson

Maxim School in Hopatcong, New Jersey.

Students had a variety of responses that

included completing special writing proj-

ects, reading books, hands on math lessons

and working together. Students even

included sweet sentiments about caring

friends and smiling teachers who add to the

loving environment of Hudson Maxim. We

love Hudson Maxim and cannot wait to

complete the rest of our fun-filled school

year!

HMS students celebrated National

Drug Facts Week (1/27-2/2) by par-

ticipating in a number of activities

in an effort to shatter the myths about drugs.

7th graders decorated school glass display

cases and windows with artistic pictures and

sayings depicting anti-drug messages.

Other students placed labels with an assort-

ment of prevention messages on cafeteria

snack bar items. Others helped get the mes-

sage out by reading anti-drug messages over

the morning announcements. The students

did an excellent job of spreading this impor-

tant message and had fun doing it.
