Auditions Held For A Non-musical
Production of Lyle the Crocodile

T
he Growing Stage, The Children’s
Theatre of New Jersey, located in the
Historic Palace Theatre on Route 183
in Netcong, New Jersey will be holding
auditions for its non-musical production of
Lyle the Crocodile on January 19th at 7:00
PM. All auditions will be reading from the
script. The production is under the direction
of Stephen L. Fredericks, the Growing
Stage’s Executive Director.
Written for the stage by playwright
Kevin Kling and adapted from the original
book by Bernard Waber, Lyle the Crocodile.
What do you do when a caviar-loving croc-
odile moves in to your bathtub? Why you
make him do chores of course! Lyle is a
kind and helpful crocodile that loves New
York City, but Mr. Grumps isn't pleased
with him and sends him off to the zoo.
When Lyle rescues Mr. Grumps from a
burning building and brings him happiness
with Ms. Nitpicker, the local gossip, he
learns to love Lyle along with everyone
else!
The Growing Stage - The Children’s
Theater of New Jersey’s production of Lyle
the Crocodile runs from February 19th to
March 28th, with performances on Fridays
at 7:30 p.m. and Saturdays and Sundays at
4:00 p.m. The Growing Stage is a profes-
sional member of the Association of Actor’s
Equity. There will be five roles available for
AEA artists, a one AEA/ASM while other
roles will be filled by community artists,
making a cast of approximately fifteen. The
cast breakdown calls for five adult men,
four adult women, and six young perform-
ers between the ages of ten and thirteen.
Rehearsal schedules are generally two or
three evenings during the week, and a
weekend afternoon. All cast members are
expected for all performances, with no
exception since the company does not cast
understudies. Performers of color, seniors,
women and performers with disabilities are
encouraged to attend. For additional infor-
mation please call (973) 347- 4946 or e-
mail exdir@growingstage.com.

Organic Carpet and Upholstery Cleaning
By Cheryl Conway
S
tep into 2010 onto clean, stain-free carpet treated by
Power Pro Organic Carpet and Upholstery Cleaning.
As an expert working in the carpet cleaning industry for
the past 22 years, Rich Moore – owner of Power Pro
Organic Carpet and Upholstery Cleaning – uses an organic
cleaning solution to rid dirt, dust, allergens, pollutants and
molds from carpets and upholstery. He services both resi-
dential and commercial establishments in the local area.
Customers can’t go wrong with Moore’s 200 percent
money-back guarantee and free full-carpet audit.
“They have absolutely nothing to lose,” says Moore.
There is “zero-gamble, zero risk.”
Before any cleaning is done, Moore will visit the home
or business and give a “full carpet audit” at no charge. He
will pin-point all of the problem areas and then determine
the best technique to clean the carpet, he explains.
Customers should take advantage of Moore’s 2010 New
Year’s special. If a customer needs four or more rooms
treated, Moore will clean one of the carpets for free first “so
they can be 100 percent more than completely thrilled,” he
says, before he cleans the other carpets.
If a stain can not be removed or if a customer is “not
thrilled” with the finished product, Moore will return for a
second visit and clean that carpet for free. And if a cus-
tomer is still dissatisfied, Moore says he will reimburse the
customer 100 percent; research the internet to find a differ-
ent professional carpet cleaning company to clean the car-
pet; and pay the other company to clean his customer’s car-

Thomas Edison, Lessons in Japanese
and Beating the Winter Doldrums
All for Seven Dollars
By Michele Guttenberger
L
et’s face it January may be the start
of a new year but winter weekends
start to get dull when the winter won-
derland is no longer inviting. Museums
may be the answer for something exciting to
do with the family together -hopefully
indoors. But the Thomas Edison museum
can offer something a little bit more – read
on.
Thomas Edison’s earlier light bulbs used
bamboo from Kyoto Japan. The bamboo
was a good filament for the incandescent
light bulb. Edison knew the importance of
learning other cultures and with Japan as a
major bamboo supplier he wanted to com-
prehend Japanese culture and Japan as a
whole. He employed several enterprising
Japanese workers at the Edison's laboratory.
One actually became a famous industrialist
in his own right. Kunihiko Iwadare had
worked for Thomas Edison's General
Electric Company prior to establishing the
Nippon Electric corporation company.
Thomas Edison had very successful associ-
ations with Japanese politicians, inventors
and prominent statisticians from the Asian
economics world. Even then Asia played an
important role in the world market of elec-
trical supplies.
We can be proud that our area schools
are also progressive in learning Asia stud-
ies. The 2009 New Jersey High School
Japanese Language Study Awards at Seton
Hall were given to our local Pope John
XXIII High School in Sparta
Today the Edison Museum maintains
this Japanese connection. One of the lan-
guages offered on their audio tour devices is
New Jersey Native Fish Art and
Writing Contest Announced!
S
tudents in grades 4 through 7 are invit-
ed to learn about New Jersey's native
fish by participating in the NJDEP
Division of Fish and Wildlife's 2010 Native
Fish Art and Writing Contest.
The purpose of this annual contest is to
encourage children to learn about New
Jersey's native fish species and their biolog-
ical requirements, including the habitats
they need to survive. Participants must write
an original short story about a year in the
life of a native New Jersey fish of their
choice and draw a scene from their story.
The story must include accurate biologi-
cal and ecological information about the
fish, such as its habitat needs, food prefer-
ences, and behavioral characteristics. The
drawing must have a finished size of 8.5 x
11 inches and can be done in acrylics, pen-
cils, watercolors, oil, oil pastels, crayons or
ink. Creativity and originality in both the
Japanese. What an opportunity this can be
for the middle school or high school student
to get to practice their Japanese knowledge.
Japanese language occasions can be a rare
find in many parts of NJ. Unfortunately,
spoken Japanese is not a popular language
in our local Lakeland communities unlike
languages such as Spanish or German.
However, you can listen to Japanese at the
museum. It is place where you can play
back the words as often as you like without
annoying a soul for repeating. But the best
part is… the audio tour devices are current-
ly free without the traditional rental fee.
This free tour device rental will not last long
and soon there will be a fee just like other
museums.
Where can you hone in on your Japanese
skills and tour a historical factory where the
first incandescent light bulbs, phonographs
and first video projectors were invented for
an admission fee of seven dollars? A bar-
gain this great is made possible through the
US Government, because the Thomas
Edison museum is part of the National Park
Services. Odd that a factory in West
Orange, NJ is part of Smokey Bear’s
National Park Services. And if you attend
the museum the rangers will be there to
assist you. They can even program your
audio tour device in Japanese for you too.
The audio tour devices are also available
in German and Spanish. The rangers know
how to program those languages as well.
The museum is located at 211 Main St –
West Orange NJ 07052. Open 9:00 AM –
5:00 PM – Closed on Monday & Tuesday.

story and artwork will weigh heavily with
judges, as will the use of proper grammar,
sentence structure and spelling.
First and second place winners from each
grade level will receive a fishing rod and
reel and a certificate. First place winners
will also receive a youth membership in
Trout Unlimited. All winners will be invited
to the Pequest Trout Hatchery and Natural
Resource Education Center on the Opening
Day of Trout Season, April 10, 2010 for a
special luncheon, awards ceremony and the
opportunity to fish for trout in the Pequest
Fishing Education Pond.
Entries for the contest must be received

ings, and summarize their response in a

"Schools of all types and sizes have had
success in this competition — you don’t
need a math club or math team captain to
win — and I strongly encourage all high
schools to participate," said Michelle
Montgomery, M3 Challenge Project
Director. "Teams made up of students with
a variety of skills who can work well
together under a tight deadline have been
most successful."
The goal of Moody’s Mega Math
Challenge is to increase interest and encour-
age high school students to pursue studies
and careers in applied mathematics, eco-
nomics, and finance. The Challenge spot-
lights applied mathematics as a powerful
problem-solving tool, as a viable and excit-
ing profession, and as a vital contributor to
advances in an increasingly technical socie-
ty. It is funded by The Moody's Foundation
and organized by the Society for Industrial
and Applied Mathematics (SIAM).

Moore.
Homeowners should clean their carpets
regularly to maintain appearance and keep
their environment healthy, adds Moore.
“Carpet is the biggest air filter because
it holds dust, dust mites, allergens; it traps it
all in. “It’s very wise to have the carpets
cleaned; it’s healthy.”
With Moore’s background and experi-
ence in the field, his dedication, money-

cleaning professionals may not compare.
“I love making something that looks beat

Score Big With Game-Day Entertaining
Make Your Favorite Sport Spectating Snacks Veggie-licious
E
very winter, football fans come together for the
viewing party of the season. This year, as you pre-
pare to host a hungry crowd for the big game, inter-
cept unhealthy appetizers and lighten up your favorite
game-watching dishes by infusing vegetables. Jodie Shield,
mom and childhood nutrition expert, knows first-hand the
challenge of making dishes that not only taste good, but are
good for you.
“People don’t traditionally think veggies when they
think about game-day entertaining, but incorporating veg-
etables into your favorite recipes is an easy way to feel good
about the food you are serving while still scoring points for
home team health,” says Shield. “Veggies are full of nutri-
ents and flavor, are a great way to add flavor, texture and
color to your recipes, and can even be used as edible serv-
ing pieces.”
To ensure your guests enjoy their veggies before and
after the final whistle is blown, here are some of Jodie’s
tried-and-true tips for making vegetables delectable on
game day and every day.
Shred the evidence. Shred veggies, like broccoli, carrots,
bell peppers or mushrooms, and toss them into turkey-slid-
ers, sloppy Joes, quesadillas, tacos or pizza. A small amount
will blend right into your favorite dishes and boost the
nutritional value, too.
Contain their interest. Tempt big and small appetites by
using the vegetables themselves as edible serving pieces.
Serve veggie dips in hollowed-out bell peppers, mashed
potatoes in potato skins or even squash soup in mini pump-
kins.
Dip it. Don’t be afraid to pair up vegetables with tasty
sauces or dips. A 2006 study found that children eat more
vegetables when paired with a moderate amount of ranch
dressing.

Sussex County Freeholder
Love, Sex, Marriage, Kids, Divorce, the
World and Each Other. Due to the popular- Susan Zellman Completes Two-Year
ity of this show please order your tickets
early by calling the box office at 973-691-
Term as NJTPA Chairman
2100. All seats are $25.00.
S
usan M. Zellman, Freeholder, Sussex
County, completed her two-year term
as Chairman of the North Jersey
Transportation Planning Authority, citing
the many accomplishments that have
improved transportation for residents of
Sussex County and the region. The NJTPA
oversees regional transportation planning
and annually authorizes more than a billion
dollars in federal surface transportation
funding for 13 counties in northern and cen-
tral New Jersey.
At the NJTPA’s biennial reorganization
meeting on January 11, Zellman said, “I am
proud of the work of the NJTPA and the bi-
partisan role it plays” in addressing trans-
portation needs. She thanked other mem-
bers of the Board for their efforts and coop-
eration over the past two years in making
transportation investments for the region.
A key highlight under Zellman’s leader-
ship over the past two years was use of
stimulus funding provided by the federal
government to undertake key projects and
spur the economy. Of the $750 million in
stimulus funding spent in the NJTPA
region, $124 million was specifically tar-
geted to projects chosen by counties and
cities represented on the NJTPA. “I am
happy to report that in the NJTPA region,
our efforts to get federal funds to the coun-
ty and local level have clearly been a suc-
cess,” she said.
NJTPA Executive Director Mary K.
Murphy praised Zellman’s leadership over
the past two years, saying that she invested
much time and effort as Chairman, includ-
ing “taking a hands-on role in the detailed
and often technical work” performed by the
NJTPA. “Chairman Zellman has been pas-
sionate as an advocate for the role trans-
portation plays in supporting our economy
and quality of life. She has made a real con-
tribution to our region.” Murphy added.
Another key achievement under Susan
Zellman’s leadership was the approval of a
new long-range transportation plan guiding
investment over the next 25 years. Among
the new initiatives in “Plan 2035” was an
emphasis on “Complete Streets,” which
Zellman noted that she has “advocated for
some time at the county level and NJTPA
level.” Complete Streets involves promot-
ing road designs and investment that makes
streets accessible and safe for all residents
and travelers, including pedestrians and
bicyclists.
She said, “Developing a new plan gave
the NJTPA an opportunity to conduct exten-
sive public outreach in every county – and
the opportunity to focus on several issues
that go beyond our traditional concerns,
such as climate change and development.”
Outgoing NJDOT Commissioner
Stephen Dilts praised Zellman’s commit-
ment to transportation and the bi-partisan
nature of her leadership on the NJTPA
Board. “Chairman Zellman was an effec-
tive advocate for the people in northern
New Jersey and I appreciated her strong
leadership throughout her tenure,” said
Dilts.
At the meeting, the NJTPA Board elect-
ed Bergen County Executive Dennis
McNerney as Zellman’s successor as
Chairman. The NJTPA Board also selected
the three other members of its Executive
Committee: Morris County Freeholder
Gene Feyl, First Vice Chairman; Hudson
County Executive Tom DeGise, Second
Vice Chairman; and Essex County
Executive Joseph DiVincenzo, Secretary. In
accordance with NJTPA By-Laws,
McNerney appointed Hunterdon County
Freeholder Matt Holt to the position of
Third Vice Chairman.
The NJTPA is the metropolitan plan-
ning organization (MPO) for 13 northern
New Jersey counties. Under federal leg-
islation, MPOs provide a forum where
local officials, public transportation
providers and state agency representa-
tives can come together and cooperative-
ly plan to meet the region’s current and
future transportation needs. It estab-
lishes the region’s eligibility to receive
federal tax dollars for transportation
projects.
The NJTPA Board consists of one
local elected official from each of the 13
counties in the region (Bergen, Essex,
Hudson, Hunterdon, Middlesex,
Monmouth, Morris, Ocean, Passaic,
Somerset, Sussex, Union, and Warren),
and the cities of Newark and Jersey City.
The Board also includes a Governor’s
Representative, the Commissioner of the
New Jersey Department of
Transportation, the Executive Directors
of NJ Transit and the Port Authority of
New York and New Jersey, and a
Citizen’s Representative appointed by
the Governor.
