Mount Olive

t was a year of first’s for the Mount Olive High
School boy’s lacrosse program this past season.
They toppled a quality Boonton squad to appear in
their first ever state tournament and they won their
first ever state game when they downed Millburn, 6-5,
in the opening round of the NJSIAA Public Group II
tournament.
“We had to win against Boonton to get to the
states,’’ Mount Olive head coach David Gallucci said.
“If we lose that game, we miss the states. Our defense
frustrated their two offensive stars and our offense pro-
vided two goals in the first 90 seconds of the contest.
It was the first time Mount Olive had ever qualified for
the states.’’

Mt. Olive Woman Invents Fridge Gallery
by Elsie Walker
H
ave you ever wondered where those
people who get on home shopping
networks with their inventions get
the ideas for their products?
Lynda Sprogis of Mt. Olive can tell you.
Sprogis had her Fridge Gallery launched on
QVC.
It’s said that necessity is the mother of
invention. In Sprogis’ case, it was a
refrigerator door cluttered with reminders
and memories that gave birth to Sprogis’
product.
The Frig Gallery turns a refrigerator door
from a whirlwind of magnets, notes, art-
work, grade A papers and pictures into a
family bulletin board, where items can be
neatly arranged and easily changed.
Sprogis also sees it as the “future of refrig-
erator scrapbooking” where what’s going
on in a family’s life can be highlighted. For
example, currently Sprogis’ own Frig
Gallery proudly displays pictures from her
daughter's Confirmation and from her
Induction into the World Languages Honor
Society at .Mt Olive High School..
The Frig-Gallery is, in essence, a big
acrylic frame that opens and closes with the
use of large hinges. The special tacky board
inside keeps everything neat, protected and
proudly displayed. The product’s magnetic
strips and key-hole cutouts on the back
allow you to hang it on any magnetic sur-
face or on the wall. (Another feature is that
when it is time to clean the refrigerator
door, all those notes, pictures, etc. come off
with one pull. )
That’s what the product is now. But,
how did it all begin? The year was 1996….
Sprogis recalls, “My fridge front was a
mess of magnets. I hated the way my pic-
tures curled up at the edges over time, yet I
still loved having them there to look at
every day. I had a magnetic, acrylic frame
that held one 4x6 photo. It was molded at
the bottom and opened 1/4" to slip a single
photo into it. I said to my friend one day,
‘You know what I need, I need one of those
that's big enough to cover my whole refrig-
erator! It would need big hinges at the bot-
tom so it could open and close, though. It

First Year Daisy Troop Earns Their Last Petal
By Beautifying Sandshore School
I
n May, Daisy Girl Scout Troop 137 from
Sandshore School in Budd Lake com-
pleted their last Daisy Learning Petal for
“Making the World a Better Place.” The
Daisy Troop earned their “Rose” petal by
planting perennial flowers in the front of
their elementary school with the money
they had raised through fundraising during
the past school year. The girls planted such

flowers as dahlias, asters, hollyhocks and
astilbes. The girls had a wonderful time
designing the layout and planting the flow-
ers.
Troop 137 approached the Sansdshore
Beautification Committee and the school
Principal, Mr. Robert Allen with the idea of
donating the flowers during the winter.

assumption.
Mt. Olive captured some very memo-
rable wins this season and with several
young players gathering valuable experi-
ence, the best may be yet to come for the
Marauders on the diamond.
There are two wins that really stand out
for head coach Tim Sumereau.
“We had a victory over Morris Catholic,
who was 9-1 at the time,’’ Sumereau said.
“We were down by a score of six to one in
the seventh inning and we won in extra
innings on a three-run home run by sopho-
more Mike Adams.
“We also won in extra innings against
Columbia, who was ranked in the top 20 in
the state at the time. We won on a walk-off
home run from senior Brian Greco in the
ninth inning.’’
Sumereau was pleased with how seniors
stepped to the forefront and led the way for
“Two of our seniors became leaders and
they were Matthew Bratter and Nick
Cilenti,’’ Sumereau said. “Matthew was last
year’s starting catcher, but he had to move
to third base due to injury. He led the team
with seven home runs, which is a school
record and he had a .444 batting average.
Nick was a three-year starter who got hurt.
But, he went to every game and every prac-
tice. He was able to come back and play in
the last two games of the season.’’
A couple of players impressed Sumereau
with the steady progress that they displayed
from the first day of practice right through
the final game of the season.
“Nick Silva was a first year starter who
hit .439 for us this season,’’ Sumereau said.
“Just a sophomore, Adams had six home
runs and batted .390 this year.’’
Sumereau has plenty of reasons for opti-
mism when considering the spring 2010
season.
“We were 9-14 overall, but we were 6-0
out of conference,’’ Sumereau said. “We
had a very strong freshman class in 2008
and four of those players saw action this
past spring as sophomores.’’

Running The Rivers -
A Paddling Potpourri
Q
uick and tricky or quiet and easy;
canoe, kayak, raft or tube; the float-
ing experience in Northwest New
Jersey comes in many flavors. On one
extreme, quiet paddling can be found on the
Delaware, the D&R Canal, Raritan South
Branch, Millstone, Walkill and the Passaic
rivers. More excitement can be found in the
spring, and after rainy spells, on the
Paulinskill, Pequest, upper South Branch,
and selected portions of the Delaware. For
folks interested in something in between,
there are the North Branch (Raritan),
Musconetcong and Lamington rivers. But,
with or without the added excitement of
whitewater, each river offers its own special
brand of melodrama.
Many paddlers will prefer the wide-open
space of a lake or reservoir, where it’s easy
to get back to where you started. There is
park access at Spruce Run, Round Valley,
Merrill Creek, Swartswood Lake and Lake
Hopatcong. Smaller water bodies, like
White Lake near Blairstown or Crater Lake
above Millbrook, are equally inviting.

Old Glory...
continued from page 6
Anthem. Designed by Mary Pickersgill and
her daughter, this flag contained 15 stars
and 15 stripes to represent the original 13
states, along with Kentucky and Vermont.
As more states entered the Union, more
stars appeared on the canton. When
Tennessee, Ohio, Louisiana, Indiana, and
Mississippi entered statehood, Congress
passed the Flag Act of 1818, allowing five
more stars on the flag while reducing the
number of stripes from 15 to 13. Designed
by Navy Captain Samuel Reid, this 20-star
flag was also known as the Great Star flag
and the Flag of 1818.
The name “Old Glory” referred to the
24-star American Flag, which came about
from the admission of Missouri. The 28-star
flag was the first to be carried into battle by
American troops during the Mexican-
American War, and came about when the
United States annexed Texas. When the
Civil War began on April 12, 1861, the flag
sported 33 stars after the admission of
Oregon, and upon its ending on April 19,
1865, the flag contained 35 stars.
Noteworthy was the fact that the 35th star
represented West Virginia, after Virginia
split itself in two separate states to divide
the areas that supported the Confederacy
from the other parts that supported the
Union.
An Executive Order was passed by
President William H. Taft in 1912 that
established definitive proportions for the
flag, arranging the now-48 stars into six
horizontal rows of eight, after the additions
of New Mexico and Arizona. With one star
to be added by the admission of Alaska,
President Dwight D. Eisenhower passed an
Executive Order in 1959 to design the 49
stars into seven rows of seven stars each,
with each row staggered horizontally and
vertically. The design was changed later
that year by another Executive Order of
August 21, 1959, which brought the
arrangement to nine rows of stars staggered
horizontally and 11 rows of stars staggered
vertically.
The 50-star American Flag came about
with the addition of Hawaii, and was
designed from the creation of 17-year-old
Bob Heft, who correctly predicted that
Hawaii would gain statehood after Alaska.
Heft designed a 50-star flag for his high
school history class that was selected by
President Eisenhower to become our
National Emblem. This design has 13 alter-
nating horizontal stripes, seven red and six
white, which represent the original 13
colonies. The 50 stars represent the 50
states of the Union, while the three colors
on the flag symbolize hardiness and valor
(red), purity and innocence (white), and
vigilance, perseverance, and justice (blue).
From colonial times to the present, and
no matter what the design, the American
Flag has always been a source of great pride
and the symbol of unity and strength for our
country. Long may it wave!

so stuff would stay put when you open and
close it’.”
“My friend looked at me and said, ‘Oh
my God,what a good idea!’ After that, I
couldn't let it go without giving it a try,”
said Sprogis
And she didn’t let the idea
go….although the Frig Gallery didn’t mate-
rialize overnight. It took 10 years: five
years to get the patent and five years to save
up to pay for the manufacturing. There was
also a delay when, in 2001, Sprogis had a
battle with breast cancer.
“It was caught early, though, due to rou-
tine checkups. I had a lumpectomy, then
chemo and radiation. I am happy to say that
I am approaching 8 years cancer free,” she
said.
Once Sprogis had the patent and a rough
prototype, what came next is something that
one might say was literally….the answer to
a pray.
Sprogis really didn’t know what to do
next so she prayed to God for help. A few
days later, she recalls it was Good Friday,
she saw the answer. There was a newspaper
article about a successful inventor who had
started her own company to help average
people get their products from “idea to the
market”
“I took it as a sign from above and con-
tacted this company. I already had the
patent and a rough prototype. They helped
me find a manufacturer and helped me
tweek the final prototype,” said Sprogis.
The inventor, whose company helped
Sprogis, had appeared on QVC with some
of her own products. This gave Sprogis an
“in” for getting the Frig Gallery on the air.
.The big break came when it was the new
product featured on QVC’s "TGIF" show .
”I presented my product on the air per-
sonally. Being on national TV was fun and
exciting....but it was also LIVE TV. Oh my,
I was so nervous! I did fine, though. and
thankfully the host did most of the talking.
We only had four minutes, but still sold
hundreds! I was only on QVC one time, but
what a great start!” shared Sprogis.
Today Sprogis has an eBay store where
she sells the Frig Gallery and she does local
events.
“Marketing costs money....lots of it! We
are still saving for the next step of this fam-
ily venture. This recession isn't helping
matters either! In the meantime, I donate
some to high school tricky trays, do street
festivals, and I have a great network of
friends that spread the word for me, “ she daughter to college, renovate a wing of my

Budd Lake 100% Hand Car Wash Is Under New Ownership
By Cheryl Conway
A
utomated machines are gone from
the Budd Lake Car Wash, but one
thing remains automatic - the clean-
est, sparkling vehicles from the new hand-
wash system.
The Budd Lake Car Wash on Route 46 in
Budd Lake switched owners this April and
has changed from an automated car wash to
a hand-wash. The car wash has existed for
about 14 years.
Owners Rob Willis of Rockaway and
John Farnsworth of Roxbury decided to buy
the company and switch to a hand-wash
method because they say washing a car by
hand is more effective, results in a cleaner
finished vehicle and is less likely to be dam-
aged by brushes.
Vehicles, “they come out cleaner, no
brushes touch the car,” says Willis. “They
will most likely have less damage done and
it’s more likely to come out better. We clean
every door jam and trunk jam.”
Farnsworth, who has been friends with
Willis for 30 years, agrees. “Hand wash
gives you a better wash. You get all of the
crevasses. You get under the doors. You just
don’t have some brush going over it.
“They get a 100 percent great car wash,”
continues Farnsworth, who also owns JT
Kingtown Citgo gas station in Ledgewood.
“There’s no brushes; they get a hand wash.
We gently massage the car. There’s no one
else in the area that does what we do.”
The closest car wash that uses a hand-

wash method is in Randolph, according to
Willis, owner of Bunky’s Towing & Auto
Repair in Dover, a family business that he
has run for the past 25 years.
“Car fanatics” for years since they both
worked in a car-related business, Willis and
Farnsworth were both eager to start a new
business venture so they agreed to purchase
the Budd Lake Car Wash and provide a bet-
ter service.
The new car wash offers new equipment,
such as new rinsers and dryers. Customers
wait behind a glass partition so they can
watch their car being vacuumed, cleaned
from the exterior to the interior, rinsed and
dried.
Customers can choose from six different
packages that range in price from $10.50 to
$19.95. Services include exterior hand
wash; inside vacuumed; dash board wiped
out; inside windows cleaned; clear-coat pro-
tectant; under-body wash; under-body pro-
tectant; wheel and rim cleaner; triple polish;

he Earth has been continuously
changing for thousands of years, and
still does so to this day. Mountains
evolve and lakes expand, all of this being
known to the world, except for what goes
on way down below our feet. The practice
of mining has taken place since the time of
The Ancient Egyptians and Romans and
continued on into the modern era through
countries all over the world and in the
United States. Though over time, mining
died down, which left many mines in the
United States to either become abandoned
or shut down, leaving behind a legacy of
history right under the surface.
It was not until September of 2004 that
mine explorer Dan Lopez created the web-
site (www.abandonedmines.net) and decid-
ed to seize the opportunity and explore var-
ious mines located throughout New York,
New Jersey, and Pennsylvania. Before cre-
ating the website, he visited mines either
alone or with his father, taking photographs
and soaking in all the history of the shafts,
ruins, miner cemeteries and “other remains

that my customers like me, trust me and
believe me. Only then will they put their
homes in my hands. Our customer service is
second to none and I take great pride in that.
What is the most challenging thing about
your N-Hance business?
I think the most challenging part of this job
is juggling all the different aspects of this or
any business; operations; marketing; admin-
istrative, etc. I am fortunate to have a great
support system and could not do any of this
without all of the people who make up the N-
Hance team.
What is the least challenging thing about
product as well as the professionalism of our
team. Our customers are always very willing
to share their N-Hance experience with others
and we are extremely thankful for that.
What's your most economical service?
Our least expensive service is a Cabinet
Renewal. It is a truly remarkable process
which allows us to “turn back the hands of
time” in a manner of speaking. We can trans-
form dull, worn, damaged cabinets to like-
new condition. Most times the transformation
can be completed in just one day.
What is your top of the line service?
Our top of the line service, which is still a
a dramatic change of color. We offer a vari-
ety of wood tones and also have a paint and
glaze option which is very popular. The pos-
sibilities are too many to list.
Why should potential customers contact N-
Hance and use the N-Hance services in
their homes?
N-Hance offers budget friendly, house

and revitalizing all the wood in your home or

beautifully renews and restores wood
cabinets, floors, doors, trim, mould-
ing, etc., in just one day without the
mess and at a fraction of the cost of
traditional wood refinishing methods.
While most hardwood floor manufac-
turers suggest floors be refinished at
least every three to five years, there
are valid reasons why many people
hate having it done: Time; inconven-
ience; mess; odors. N-Hance gives
the homeowner another and better
option.
Is there anything you would do dif-
ferently?
I think the only thing I would have
done differently is that I would have
started my N-Hance business sooner.
The response we’ve received from the
public has been overwhelming and I
love to see that the services we offer
are valued and appreciated.
Best business advice:
My mother and father both told me
to never underestimate the power of a
referral. Always give the customer a
great product, a great service and a
great result to ensure a steady flow of
referrals. Those referrals will help
keep your advertising costs down.
They couldn’t have given me better
advice.
What is the most important thing
when meeting a potential customer?
The most important thing when
meeting with a potential customer is
my ability to listen. When I meet with
a potential customer for the first time
it is important that I really hear and
understand that person’s needs. From
there we can determine which of our
services will suit that customer’s situ-
ation the best. The customer is our
most valuable asset and it is important

The car wash offers customers a frequent
car wash card that allows them a free basic
car wash after nine washes. Customers can
also purchase pre-wash books that contain
coupons. Gift certificates are also available
for a car wash or car detailing.
Besides getting a clean car when visiting
the Budd Lake Car Wash, customers can
also meet the new mascot/car wash staff
member – “Bacon”- a miniature pig.
“It was my wedding anniversary gift,”
says Willis, who also owns a few miniature
goats but had always wanted a pig. “I bought
her a Chrysler 300 and she bought me a
miniature pig. Kids can feed and pet our
pig.”
Married for two years, Carolyn Willis
who helps her husband with the car wash
business says “he always talked about want-
ing a pig. I found one that will only grow to
40 pounds, so I bought it for him.”

Experience
The remodeled Flanders store features a
more open shopping environment with
wider aisles that contain no product dis-
plays. Walmart also aligned the departments
that customers shop most frequently, mak-
ing it quicker to purchase everyday items.
“The new layout is easier to navigate,
which will save our customers time as they
shop for necessities,” said Cruz.
A bright interior paint scheme and
enhanced lighting creates a more inviting
shopping experience and helps define the
store’s merchandise areas. Low-profile
shelving creates an improved sightline and
directional signage helps customers find the
products they need.
Expanded Departments Add Value and
Savings
The remodel also brings Walmart cus-
tomers an expanded electronics department
featuring a wide selection of the latest con-
sumer electronics and home entertainment.
The new design includes a more hands-on
experience for customers with interactive
displays for hi-definition Blu-ray, video
gaming and portable electronics. The inter-
active experience enables shoppers to test
new technology including laptops, cameras,
phones and GPS units before purchase.
The store also features a broader assort-

o. Some word, eh? It’s short, only
two letters and one syllable. It’s a
handy little word too, very easy to
use. It can save you from having to think
very much, from having to have actual
opinions, from having to offer anything
positive. All you need do is say “No,”
rejecting what is being offered. Now, while
I admit this “No” thing may be good when
it comes to eating too much, it doesn’t help
when it comes to grappling with public pol-
icy issues. Here, if you’re going to say
“No,” then you really should be prepared to
offer some actual, positive ideas (note:
hackneyed slogans do not constitute ideas).
The radical right wingers have been say-
ing “No” quite a bit lately. I’ve begun
thinking of them as the “No People,” half
expecting to see their new disco album on
store shelves this summer. Those on the
radical right, the No People, including
Congressional representatives, senators,
governors as well as elected state officials
and all those “talking heads” (you know
who they are) have been hunkering down

Tony’s Bistro: Delighting Diners Since 1985
By Kathryn Davis
S
tatistically, the restaurant business is
risky, with a high percentage failing.
According to an analysis in the
August 2005 issue of the Cornell Hotel and
Restaurant Administration Quarterly, the
total failure rate is about 60%. So how has
Tony’s Bistro in Califon managed to stay in
business, and do so successfully, for nearly
a quarter of a century? That’s easy. It’s their
uncompromising quality. Tony’s continues
to prove itself again and again as one of the
finest dining establishments in the area.
Tony Kucevic, owner and head chef of
Tony’s Bistro, has been creating magic in
his kitchen since the restaurant opened in
1985. A graduate of both culinary college
and Fordham University, Tony worked with
New York chefs at Vesuvio’s in the 1970’s.
Moving to Califon in 1976, he opened a
pizzeria on Route 513, and later opened the
Bistro.
Having heard about Tony’s from friends,
I was curious to discover what had earned it
accolades from so many loyal patrons. I
arrived with a friend on a weekend evening
and found the entrance on the side of the
building with ample parking. Inside, we
strolled past a bar on the left with a partition
that lends privacy to diners. The restaurant
is divided into three main sections, and has
a softlit, cozy atmosphere. We were greeted
almost immediately by a friendly hostess
and seated at a table dressed with white
linens.
Knowing I was writing an article, Tony
decided to prepare several smaller portions
so that I could sample a variety of offerings
from the menu. This was quite helpful since
the menu and list of specials was so intrigu-
ing, making a choice would have been a real
challenge. With our drinks, an attentive and
courteous server brought a basket of fresh-
baked crusty bread and warm garlic knots.
My friend and I were started out with
three appetizers. The antipasto, slices of

ripe tomatoes topped with fresh mozzarella
and roasted red peppers, dotted with black
olives, and served on a bed of lettuce, was a
nice beginning. The ceasar salad, crisp
romaine with a light dressing and crouton
chunks, was another good beginning. The
Coconut Shrimp, however, was the real
standout. Served with a delicious honey-
mustard dipping sauce, the large, tender
shrimp had a sweet, crisp coating, and were
quick to disappear.
Next to arrive at our table were two pasta
dishes. The first, Spinach Ravioli with
Marsala Sauce, is often offered as a special.
Having had marsala sauce prepared incor-
rectly in other establishments, I am always
reticent. Here, however, I found the sauce to
be perfect, perhaps the best I have ever had.
Beneath it, the pasta was cooked tender,
each ravioli was topped with large mush-
room slices, and the spinach/cheese filling
was superb. The other pasta dish was
Rigatoni in Vodka Sauce. What can be said

about a good vodka sauce? Not all restau-
rants have mastered it, but Tony’s was rich,
creamy, and just incredible. Both pasta dish-
es were topped with fresh basil, which
comes from the garden just outside. Tony is
proud of his herb garden, telling me later in
the evening that all the herbs he uses are
grown fresh on the premises. Since my
friend and I both realized we would be sam-
pling additional dishes, we forced ourselves
to eat only a portion of the pastas, not an
easy task.
When our main entrée selections arrived,
we found ourselves sampling from three
different plates. The Eggplant Rollatini,
generously rolled with cheese and drenched
in a delectable tomato sauce, was a choice I
would certainly make on a future visit. The
Flounder Piccati was lightly fried, moist
and flaky with a crisp coating, presented
with lemon slices, and placed beneath a
light, tangy sauce with capers. What my

friend and I were most impressed with,
though, was the Chicken Monterey. The
large, tender chicken breasts were breaded
and fried with crisp pepperoni, and smoth-
ered in a rich, creamy monterey jack cheese
sauce. While this dish had been recom-
mended to me by more than one friend, I
hadn’t expected to be as impressed as I was.
If you do nothing else in life, I strongly sug-
gest you make it a point to visit Tony’s and
order this dish.
When it came time for coffee and
dessert, we were offered one of several spe-

served Homemade Tiramasu and Canolis.

impressed by Tiramasu, and would not have

New Jersey's State Fair: No, no, no, no...

July 31 - August 9, 2009
Drawing roughly a quar-
ter of a million people from
all over the Northeast and
beyond, the New Jersey
State Fair, known for many
years as the Sussex County
Farm and Horse Show, has
already been picked as one
of the top one hundred
events in North America by
the American Business
Association, and a star
attraction by the National
Geographic Travel maga-
zine. A real country fair, the
home pride of generations
worked closely with the
land is everywhere to be
seen: in the good food, good
works, and good times that
are the true bounty and com-
munity of the rural, agricul-

tural heritage of Sussex
County. The fair's roots
extend back to 1821, and the
annual Sussex County
Horse Show took place in
ever-expanding form in
Branchville from 1936 to
1976, when the fair moved
to new grounds on a 150
acre dairy farm on Plains
Road in Augusta.
Visitors enjoy the
tremendous agricultural
exhibits for which the Fair is
famous. Animals are every-
where you look - from a bee
and honey display to the
barns at the livestock exhi-
bitions, in the horticultural
exhibits and contests, and in
the Horse Show Ring.
The Show is the largest
livestock event and AHSA
sanctioned festivity in New
Jersey, with horses of all
kinds; from workhorses to
the sleekest thoroughbreds.
In addition to the Horse
Show all week you can see
racing pigs, racing turtles, a
llama show, woodchopping
contests, arts & crafts
shows, a performing arts
tent, a queen pageant, and
more, more, more!
You'll taste food whose
recipes hail from the heart
of rural New Jersey or from
just about anywhere in the
world. All of the various
waves of immigrations that
have built the state of New
Jersey bring good things to

On healthcare, the No People haven’t
just been saying “No,” they’ve been busy
trying to scare the bejeebers out of us,
warning against a “government takeover”
that will deny us the care we need. Let
alone that this is a flat out lie, it also shows
how the No People support the status quo.
They don’t want us to lose what we have
now. Gee golly. That sure is nice of them
to be so concerned about us.
Yep. Those nice people at Aetna are just
so so so concerned about me. That second
operation that my nationally renowned sur-
geon directed, the one that was turned
down, twice, by some bureaucrat (uh, I
mean some nice customer service represen-
tative), that was only approved after weeks
of badgering and threats of litigation? The
No People see no problems. That wasn’t
“rationing.” And I should realize that get-
ting turned down by an ignorant low level
functionary of a profit making insurance
company at least is better than having to
deal with a “government bureaucrat.”
But, not to worry, just in case we really
don’t like our present coverage, such as it
is, the No People have offered us some
change. They want us to go out, on our
own, to try to buy health insurance in a
luck, especially if you have one of those
pesky “pre-existing conditions.” Let me
know how it turns out.
Folks, our government is us. It is “of,
by and for” We The People. But democra-
cy doesn’t run itself. We all need to partic-
ipate, even if the only thing you do is cast
an informed vote. And you can’t just go on
saying “No.” You can’t just turn your back
and blindly trust “the market.” Enron any-
one? Bernie Madoff anyone? When cer-
tain elected officials proudly profess their
distain for “government,” then you wind up
with Medicare Part D drug coverage that
works for the benefit of the drug industry
instead of for the people, for us. Hey, we’d
all hate government if that’s all we ever got.
The No People’s rigid dismissal of
“government” as “the problem” continues
to hinder our ability to implement 21st cen-
tury solutions that will benefit us all, We
The People. America is a great country.
We have lots of extremely smart, capable,
innovative and caring people here both in
government and in private industry. We
can fix our problems. We will need smart
government, national, state and local, to set
the proper policies to allow our capitalists
and our workers to make it happen. The No
People say “No.” I say, Yes We Can.

presented at PAX AMICUS CASTLE THEATRE IN Budd
Lake, NJ. for three weekends in August.
RENT, like West Side Story, In the Heights, and Spring
Awakening, is about the joys and terrors of being young in
a confusing, dangerous and challenging city and time. As a
rock musical it ranks with Hair, Jesus Christ Superstar and
Tommy as being uniquely of its time, the advent of the new
millennium.
RENT is loosely based on Puccini’s 19th Century opera,
La Boheme, about young, starving artists and lovers in the
back streets of Paris. In the same way that tuberculosis was
the plague of La Boheme’s century, the devastation of
AIDS dominates the early 1990s world of RENT. Because
RENT deals with mature themes, the show is not recom-
mended for pre-teenagers.
GENERATION NEXT, the Castle’s teen production
company composed of young men and women between the
ages of 13 and 18, will be front and center playing all the
roles, as well as doing lights, sound, music, and stage man-
aging the production.
More than 50 New Jersey high school students will
bring the East Village of NYC world of RENT to life.
Leading the cast are Dan McCormick of Lafayette,
Stephanie Savvides of Kinnelon, Janette Zosche and
Richard Cramer of Andover, Anthony Ardolino of Oak
Ridge, David Maglione of Newton and Tiffany Rios of
Morris Plains.
RENT is directed by Stan Barber of Budd Lake, who
with musical directors Darlene Yannetta of Hackettstown
and Matthew Gandolfo of New York, has produced and
directed nearly 250 musicals over the Castle’s 40 year his-
tory.
RENT will be performed Friday and Saturday Evenings
at 8; and Sunday Evenings at 7: AUGUST 7-23.
Reservations are recommended, and may be made by call-
ing the Castle at 973-691-2100 (9 AM-3 PM).

Roman Empire...
continued from page 22
Democrats that have been in control since
Bush was President are destroying this
country. Obama has no experience on
finances, foreign policy and certainly in
leading a country. A community group
maybe but not a country.
He has weakened us. Countries like
North Korea and Iran spit in our faces. We
are turning into a socialist country that will
ultimately destroy us.
Here are some facts of why the Roam
Empire failed. The sad part is that the
United States is on the same course. Obama
is facilitating in most of these downfalls. I
replace the Roman Empire and some names
for easy reading. This is history with facts.
You can see the comparisons to the United
States of today.
The United States (Roman Empire) was
strong for a time. It was founded on geogra-
phy, family values, military strength, and
wise leadership. It flourished because of
social, economic, political, military and
religious strengths. However, when the very
things that make a civilization flourish start
to decline, the civilization will also lead to
a downfall.
The first reason for the fall was econom-
ic decay. The rulers of United States
(Rome) had expensive lifestyles. To aid
their image, they needed money. They
gained money through taxation on the poor.
In response to the torment of tax collectors,
the poor fled to barbaric lands. The poor
made up a large percentage of the Roman
population. Barbarians disrupted trade on
the Mediterranean sea. Rome's gold and sil-
ver were being drained into buying luxuries
from China, India, and Arabia. The govern-
ment decreased the silver content in money.
The value of the money also decreased.
Diocletion attempted to curb the inflation.
He issued an edict that fixed maximum
prices and wages throughout the Empire. It
was an unrealistic and unenforceable idea
which failed. The emperors still felt the tax
issue needed to be addressed. They decided
to make the hereditary class of tax collec-
tors pay the difference. In other words, if a
poor person could not pay their full share,
the tax collector paid the rest. This concept
wiped out a whole class of moderately
wealthy people.
Another reason for the fall of Rome was
political issues. Citizens no longer dis-
played patriotism, they were indifferent
(sound familiar). Only the rich ran for
office. Only the rich could run for office. It
had become too expensive to hold office.
The third and final reason for the decline
of Rome was religion. Rome religion dete-
riorated because of conflicts between
Christianity and Pagan gods. Constantine
recognized Christianity as a religion.
Because of him Christians wouldn't suffer
persecutions for their beliefs. Rather ironi-
cally, later Christians would persecute
Pagans. Nevertheless Pagans were afraid.
They thought Roman gods would leave
because of the Christians. For example,
their environment could go into ruin. The
Pagans killed Christians. After a time, both
sides realized the other wasn't trying to
overthrow them. Constantine legalized
Christianity. Later Theodosius made
Christianity the official religion of the
Roman Empire. The army didn't like Christ.
Romans didn't like Christians saying that
they protected Rome through prayer. Some
soldiers gave up
So as you can see the United States is on
the same path as the Roman Empire. They
started put strong like the United States.
Their political powers became corrupt
which is what we have here as well. They
cast our Christianity as we are doing in the
United States.
Obama is not all to blame for the down-
fall of the United States. He is just another
one that is meant to be in office to help
facilitate in the destruction of the United
States.
With his policies or lack of policies and
his denouncing that the United States is not
a Christian nation he will continue to create
policy that will quickly lead to the destruc-
tion of this once great land.
In conclusion, the Roman Empire
declined based upon the same factors that
had caused it to flourish. It fell because the
social, economic, political, military, and
religion strengths were no longer viable.
As the saying goes those who do not
learn from history are destined to repeat it
.We are on our way to following in the foot-
steps of a once great and old empire.
