By J. L. Shively

As part of the Girl

Scout Law, all Girl

Scouts promise to

“use resources wisely” as

well as to “make the worlda better place.” Brownie

Troop 6188 and Daisy

Troop 6255 of Byram are

staying true to this mission

with their recent collabora-

tion with a crayon collec-tion for the Crayon

Initiative.

Brownie troop leader,

Ann Marie Kraemer and

Daisy troop leader, AllysonVanDyke have been friends

for years and decided to

have their troops team up to

make this collection possi-ble.

“When Allyson heard

about the Crayon Initiative

I thought it was a brilliant

idea,” Kraemer explainsand without hesitation they

began their plans.

The seven girls in troop

6188 are first year Brownie

Girl Scouts and are between

the ages of seven and eightyears old while troop 6255

consists of 12 girls in Daisy

Girl Scouts, all of whom are

in the first grade.

According to the CrayonInitiative website, “In order

to grow and learn, children

need to have the freedom to

Girl Scouts Collaborate With Crayon Initiative To Help Kids In Hospitalsbe creative and express

themselves through art.”

This non-profit initiative isa Northern California based

group whose members have

dedicated themselvesthrough promoting art by

making artistic resourcesavailable to children in hos-

pitals to be used in their art

programs.

By becoming part of this

collection, the Girl Scoutsare helping in more ways

than one.

“Crayons don’t break

down so they just sit in

landfills,” Kraemer ex-

plains. The Crayon Initia-

tive website goes on to ex-

plain that each year be-

tween 45,000 and 75,000pounds of crayons are de-

posited in landfills and

these simple, colorful, wax

sticks are there to stay for-ever.

When crayons are col-

lected, even the broken bits,

On Nov. 23, the NewJersey Departmentof Education

(NJDOE) released the 2014-15 PARCC scores. This isthe first year the assessmentwas given to New Jersey stu-dents. Districts were able tolog onto the Pearson websiteto access their score reportswhich include individual stu-dent scores, each school’saverage, each district’s aver-age, and both the state andthe nationwide PARCC aver-ages.

Netcong Elementary

School was one of the firstschools to post their resultson social media according toDr. Gina Cinotti, chief schooladministrator. Cinotti andKathleen Walsh, assistantprincipal, recently an-nounced to the whole schoolthat Netcong School studentsoutperformed the state andPARCC average.

“I was overwhelmedwith joy,” says Cinotti. “I got

the chills thinking how ex-cited our staff, students, andparents would be once theyheard the news. Our teachersworked tirelessly to preparelessons and attend profes-sional development to ensurethey were knowledgeable of how they should be instruct-ing their students. Reallygood PARCC prep comes

from a rigorous implementa-tion of the Common Core

State Standards (CCSS).Many schools purchase ma-terials and consultants to en-sure they are PARCC ready;however, Netcong Schooldoes not have the luxury. Ourresults are evidence thatgood instruction does notcost a thing. Results are de-livered by having preparedteachers who care about de-

keep saying that Netcong issmall, but mighty, and nowthe world can see just howmuch we can compete withthe rest.”

Mrs. Walsh adds “I amproud of all the teachers andstudents in our district and I

am happy that all of theirhard work resulted in a posi-tive outcome. The dedicationof our students and teachersto our academic program isadmirable.”

them down again to be remolded into newcrayons which are then sent to the hospitals.

Providing children with this creative outlet

while they spend time in the hospital is im-portant to their development and their re-

covery.“It’s important for children to continue

normal childhood development and skills

building and keep life as close to ‘normal’

as possible,” the website explains, also

elaborating on the fact that hospitalized

children are likely to be harboring someanxiety and stress which can be alleviated

through art which acts as a psychological

support system.

Who doesn’t remember opening thatnew box of crayons as a child and gazing atthe blank page on the table? The possibili-

ties with that piece of paper were endless,

offering all children a sort of escapism or a

suspension of reality as their imaginations

run wild with those rainbow colors. What

child, especially one in a hospital for an ex-

tended period of time does not need some-

thing like that?

This is exactly why Kraemer and

VanDyke decided on such a project.“The project is something the girls can

relate to,” says Kramer. “They love to be

creative and use drawing to express them-

selves. Drawing and coloring is a go to for

the girls.”Kraemer even remarked that coloring for

adults has become a very popular trend

lately. Book stores and craft stores alike

have been stocked full with intricate color-

ing books marketed specifically for adultsto help relieve stress.

Bryan Ware, the founder and presidentof the Crayon Initiative, created this group

by combining his manufacturing back-

ground and love of the arts. Kraemer ex-

plains that Ware’s inspiration for hisinitiative came upon him while he was out

for dinner with his family and questioned

the wait staff about what was done with the

Crayon Initiative To Help Kids...continued from front page used crayons.

Most broken and used crayons in restau-

rants are discarded along with the rest of the

trash, like crayons used at other businesses

and even those used at home. Rarely doesa child use a crayon until there is nothing

left, but when you combine that crayon

with a million other broken stubs you have

a whole new set of crayons, ready to use.

Neither of these Girl Scout troops are

taking on this project for any award or serv-ice patch, “It is more of a feel good project

and gives them a taste of what service proj-

ects are about,” Kraemer explains. Cer-

tainly this project will bring warmth not

only to these young Girls Scouts but to the

children in hospitals all across the nation.The collection being conducted by

troops 6188 and 6255 will be taking place

through the end of February. The Staples

in Newton has offered to ship the collected

crayons to the Crayon Initiative upon thecompletion of the collection.

Any community members who wish to

help can donate any unwanted crayons, in-

cluding new, used and broken crayons, by

placing them in provided bins. If interested

in having a collection bin located in a

school or place of business contact Kraemer

at [email protected] or VanDyke at

[email protected].

Bins are already stationed in many locallocations such as Macaroni Grill in Mt.

Olive, Byram Lakes Elementary School,

Byram Intermediate School, Our Savior

Lutheran Church in Stanhope, Sal’s Pizze-

ria in Stanhope and Aspen Ice in Randolph.

Casey Griffin, general manager of theMacaroni Grill in Flanders, placed a collec-

tion bin at their host stand. “Romano's

Macaroni Grill prides itself on being part of

the community,” she says. “Since we are a

restaurant, many believe the only way for

us to be involved is through food. This isnot true. One of the distinct features Ro-

mano's Macaroni Grill is known for is its’

family friendly atmosphere, especially the

paper-covered tables for kids, and adults, to

draw on. Because of this, we throw awayhundreds of crayons a week that are worn-

out or broken, which we are unable to use.”

tiative or to help continue the collection go

School was not in ses-

sion on Veteran’s Day

due to a professionaldevelopment day for teach-

ers but that did not prevent

the Hopatcong School Dis-trict from hosting a number

of Veteran’s Day events onNov. 12.

At Hudson Maxim Ele-

mentary School, patriotic

songs could be heard

throughout the day. Pre-

school students listened to a

book about Veteran’s Day,

made their own flags and

marched in a class parade.The kindergartners also

made flags and hats to wear

in a video message thankingveterans. First graders

watched “The Wall,” aReading Rainbow segment

about Veteran’s Day, and

read various articles on the

holiday and the importance

of veterans. They also took

time to reflect in their jour-

Veterans Day Celebrated Across District In Hopatcongnals about the significance

of the special day and what

it means to them.The students and staff at

Tulsa Trail Elementary

School held their annualVeterans Day Program. The

program began with stu-dents in Mrs. Miller’s class

leading the packed audito-

rium of more than 300 stu-

dents, parents, and veterans

in the Pledge of Allegiance,

followed by a piano rendi-tion of “America the Beau-

tiful” and students singing

patriotic songs. The 17 vet-

erans in attendance were

presented with awards, rec-ognized by name, branch,

and rank and honored by a

beautiful video highlighting

each family member

through photos that weresubmitted.

There was not a dry eye

in the auditorium as stu-

dents performed “God Bless America” and

“Proud to Be an American” through sign

language. Several students prepared touch-ing speeches for the veterans; and at the

conclusion of the program, the honored vet-

erans visited students in each classroom to

share their experiences and memories and

allow for the students to ask questions. The

day was concluded with a luncheon pro-vided by the Hopatcong Education Associ-

ation through a PROJECT Pride Grant.

Durban Avenue Elementary School stu-

dents sang patriotic songs and learned aboutthe holiday in their individual classes; some

wrote letters to soldiers. Meanwhile, at

Hopatcong Middle School, students learned

about the significance of the holiday, the

importance of veterans and the branches of

the military during social studies classes.

At Hopatcong High School, relatives of

current students who served in the armedforces attended the school’s celebratory

events. Students welcomed the veterans by

decorating the front of the school. The vet-

erans visited some classrooms that were

discussing careers in the military through

research and presentations; for a lesson onVeteran’s Day; a discussion involving the

concept of heroes; and in wood sculpting

class observation of students constructing

patriotic projects.The Hopatcong School District ex-

presses its deepest gratitude for all who

have served--and continue to serve-- in the

armed forces.

An unusually dry sum-mer has kept waterlevels in Lake

Hopatcong and the Mus-

conetcong River low, but theLake Hopatcong Commis-sion, the lake’s Citizens Ad-visory Council (CAC) andthe Musconetcong Water-shedAssociation(MWA) areall looking for the best an-swers to maintain the healthof these bodies of water.

Nothing can be doneabout the weather, butboaters and property ownerson Lake Hopatcong are try-ing to get the amount of water sent over the dam re-duced during dry years. If thelake level is too low, boatingis compromised and marinaowners are in danger of los-ing business.

The Surface Water Qual-ityStandards of thestateDe-partment of EnvironmentalProtection call for 12 cubic

feet per second to be re-leased. That figure camefrom a reconstructed flowhistory that gives the bestpossible estimate of the

amount of water that wouldleave Lake Hopatcong if thedam weren’t there. Bob Hud-gins, an environmental spe-cialist with the DEP Divisionof Water Supply and Geo-science, told the CAC flowsin the Rockaway River werestudied because of its simi-larities to the Musconetcong.

The lake was dammed inthe first place in the 1820s toprovide water for the MorrisCanal. Lake Hopatcong isthe highest point on the for-mer canal. The dam createdLake Hopatcong from twosmaller lakes, although thelarger of the two was largerthan any other lake in thestate. Water leaves the lakeand travels downstream toLake Musconetcong, a man-made lake also created for

the canal.Kerry Kirk Plugh, man-

ager of constituent servicesat the DEP, said at the sameCAC meeting there are

downstream discharges of treated effluent intothe Mus-conetcong that require the 12cfs flow for dilution. Thelargest is the MusconetcongSewerage Authority, but theHackettstown MunicipalUtilities Authority also dis-charges into the river, as doseveral stormwater sources,Beth Styler Berry, executivedirector of the MWA, ex-plained.

She explained the MSAand HMUA permits arepredicated on the flow of theriver, if enough water doesn’tleave Lake Hopatcong, theplants are willing to operatein violation of their permits.

Low water wreaks havocwith boating, Styler Berryconceded, noting the MWAwas not able to run any

kayak trips on the river thissummer.

“In hot weather allaquatic life seeks deeperpools,” she said. In the lake

there are refuges fromwarmer water, especially the54-foot deep water off Nolan’s Point, the deepestpoint in the lake. The riverhas no such deep spots. LisaBarner, chief of the Bureauof Freshwater Fisheries inthe DEP, explained the sheersize of Lake Hopatconggives it greater resiliencythan the MusconetcongRiver.

Theriver is betteroff thanthe lake in terms of weedproblems, Styler Berryadded, although algaeblooms do appear in hot, dryweather.

The Musconetcong Riveris fed by other tributaries be-sides the lake, notably Lub-ber’s Run, and all areaffected by dry weather, she

said.The Lake Hopatcong

Commission is concernedwith the health of the lake.The Lake Musconetcong Re-gional Planning Board per-forms a similar function forthat body of water and theMWA is concerned with thehealth of the river. All threegroups are made up of vol-

unteers, although many haveyears of expertise on waterquality matters. Experts fromthe DEP are assigned to as-sist.

The three groups and thespecial interests on the lakesand river may occasionallydisagree on the best course of action, but tend to come to-gether in the end.

Dry Weather Continues But Communities Stay Afloat Of Issues

By Anastasia Marchese

Parents of a 10 year old Mt. Arlington

boy who lost his life this summer are

honoring the loss of their son by en-

couraging others to participate in kind

deeds.Earlier this year the D’Amico family

was changed forever by the sudden death

of their son Christopher, in a boating acci-

dent. On June 24, while boating on Lake

Hopatcong, Christopher fell overboard and

was struck by the propeller of the pontoon

boat.Instead of having the 24th of every

month be just a horrible reminder of this

tragedy, Christopher’s parents, Christopher

Sr. and Laura, wanted to set the date apart

to commemorate Christopher’s life. Theydedicated the 24th of each month to do acts

of kindness for others in Christopher’s

name. They set up a Facebook page to

spread the news and the response has been

incredible.

“It’s just blowing up,” said ChristopherSr. “It is all over the world, not just here in

NJ.” About four months ago Fox news cov-

ered the D’Amico’s family’s efforts to

honor Christopher’s legacy and that really

spurred world wide interest in their mis-sion.

“All you want is for your kids to have a

legacy,” says his father. “He has a legacy

now. People who didn’t even know who he

was; people riding bikes tour in his name

in Italy and people writing his name on thebeach in the sand in Hawaii.”

His father remembers Christopher as a

“very special kid. The word that comes to

mind is ‘kind.’” His father retells how

when Christopher was visiting a nursinghome, other kids in the group were uncom-

fortable with the elderly residents but

Christopher “hugged every single person

afterwards. He didn’t need to be asked or

goaded into it. He was just that kind of kid.”

After his football games he would thank

his coaches. One Christmas he said, “I have

enough toys. I want everyone to bring over

a bag of pet food for the shelter instead.”

There has been tremendous communitysupport. More than 2,000 people turned

out for his funeral and a GOFUNDME

page was setup to cover funeral costs to

help the family as they mourned.

Since Christopher’s life was so charac-terized by kindness, what a better way to

celebrate his life then to pass the kindness

on? “Instead of being another month of

mourning our son,” Christopher Sr. says

they decided to turn the 24th of the month

into joyfulness. Now they have decided todevote the entire month of December lead-

ing up to Christmas as a celebration of

kindness. “Not just once a month, it should

be all the time. A lot of people seem to have

lost the Christmas spirit and isn’t that whatit is about?”

The D’Amico’s found a “Random Acts

of Christmas Kindness 2015” calendar on-

line and have reposted it on their Facebook

page to encourage others to take the nextstep to make kindness a way during this

Christmas holiday.

The family is also spear heading other

efforts to spread Christopher’s spirit of

kindness. Currently they are collecting

cozy flannel and fleece pajamas to give topatients at Goryeb Children’s Hospital a

comfortable alternative to hospital gowns.

Christopher’s unofficial uniform was a pair

of fleece pajama bottoms and a sweatshirt.

They have also raised money for area ani-mal shelters, since Christopher was a de-

voted animal lover.

Giving Tuesday had a special meeting

for the Lake Hopatcong Foundation.

The LHF asked members and friends to

consider buying roof tiles for the Landing

Station on Giving Tuesday, Dec. 1.Fund raising for the roof began last No-

vember, shortly after the foundation closed

on the station, with a “rent party” and mem-

bership meeting of the board. Samples of the

green roof tiles were available for perusal bythe attendees. Each was invited to purchase

a tile for $25.

For Giving Tuesday, the tiles were offered

for sale in bundles as well as individually.

They were offered at $50 for two, $100 for ablock of four and $300 for a row of 12. For a

donation of $500, contributors can “be a

roofer” and secure 20 tiles. For $1,000, the

giver can be a “roof raiser” and purchase 40

tiles.

As of Wednesday afternoon the LHF washalfway to its goal of selling 300 tiles for a

total of $7,500, according to Jennifer DeWitt,

assistant development director of the Foun-

dation. She said people were stopping by the

foundation office on Nolan’s Point to drop off checks. She anticipates more checks to arrive

my mail in addition to a number of electronic

payments.

Giving Tuesday was established in 2012

by the 92nd Street Y in New York City.

There are many other projects to be doneat the Landing Station, but the roof takes pri-

ority, DeWitt explained since a completed

roof will secure the building from water dam-

age.

A total of about $450,000 will be neededto fund the purchase of the building and ren-

ovate it for use as the Lake Hopatcong Cul-

tural and Environmental Center. The

foundation plans on moving its offices from

donated space overlooking the Lake Hopat-cong in Jefferson Township. The station will

provide more office space and a meeting

space for the Foundation and other groups.

Community events will be scheduled

there and the foundation will create lake-

themed displays.The Lake Hopatcong Historical Society

Museum, located at Hopatcong State Park

near the Roxbury/Hopatcong line, will bring

exhibits to the station as well.

Lake Hopatcong Foundation Raised Funds For Roof Tiles

Besides the Historical Society, the foun-dation is also partnering with the Morris

Canal Working Group with 150 membersfrom nonprofit organizations and federal,

state, county and local governments. The

goal is to preserve as much of the canal right-

of-way as possible and create a public green-

way.

The station is right on the Greenway andLake Hopatcong owes its existence as the

largest lake in New Jersey to the creation of

the canal. Great Pond and Small Pond weredammed, at what is now the state park, to

provide sufficient water for the Canal, an en-gineering marvel of the 19th Century that

carried coal from Phillipsburg to Jersey City.

The Foundation sees the station as essen-

tial to the revitalization of Landing which

has several empty storefronts in a once-

bustling lakefront village. The station is oneof the first buildings drivers see heading to-

ward the lake from Route 80.

School, a new

award has been

created to recognize faculty

and staff for their hard workand commitment to aca-

demic excellence. The

“Big Shoes Award”—simi-

lar to the employee of the

month—is commemoratedby a giant gilded sneaker

used to represent those indi-

viduals who go the extra

mile. The first recipient of

the Big Shoes Award is

Sandra DeRose, Englishteacher at HHS. DeRose

continuously goes above

and beyond for her students

and colleagues. She is a

tremendous asset to theEnglish department as well

as Hopatcong High School.

DeRose continually builds

positive relationships with

her students. She has dedi-cated a great deal of time

and effort in handling her

professional responsibilities

with regard to the DodgePoetry Festival, in a way

that better serves our stu-

dent body and community.

O

n Nov. 24, the Net-

cong Board of Ed-

ucation recognized

former board members and

presented them with recog-nition plaques for their

commitment, dedication

and outstanding service to

the Netcong School Com-

munity. Board PresidentBernadette Dalesandro had

the idea to honor former

board members who were

never formally recognized

at a public meeting when

their terms expired.The former members

who were honored include:

Colleen Suflay, Joseph

Caladarci, Patrick Mc-

Queeney, John Arbolino,Robert Olivo, James Still,

Donna Secola, Frank Tra-

nor and Thomas Mandel.

"It was a great evening

to come together and thank

all our former Board

trustees for the many,many hours of service they

put into helping Netcong

get where it is today,” said

Dalesandro. “Board mem-

bers are unpaid elected

volunteers who put count-less hours of time into

doing the job.”

With a new year comes change, like a different

office for New View Media Group LLC.

But for Joe Nicastro and Mary Lalama of Flanders,co-owners with Darwin Oordt of Cherry Hill, they return

to the office where the company first started a dozen

years ago. Coming home is a wonderful feeling for them,

not only to return to the original office, but in the literal

sense that it is located where they dwell in Mt. OliveTownship.

On Mon., Nov. 16, New View Media Group moved

from its East Hanover office to Lakeview Plaza at 1 Old

Wolfe Rd, suite 205, in Budd Lake. The company had

been in East Hanover since April when it had mergedwith the Marketeer, which had been headquartered there

for for about 15 years after being in Livingston since 1978.What a nice homecoming it has been for Nicastro and

Lalama.

“The lease was up and being from Mt. Olive and a

councilman I wanted to bring my business to my home-town,” says Nicastro. “From a personal view it is close

to home for me and Mary and our employees that come

in on a daily basis. I am very happy to be back in Mt.

Olive close to home.”

While the current location is just temporary, Nicas-

tro’s plan is to purchase a different building in town

eventually.

“We are in the process of purchasing a building and

needed a temporary place,” says Nicastro. “The address

we are at now is the same address that we moved to whenwe started the papers in 2004. We had started the Mt.

Olive Weekly back then and found that location. It was

available once again.”

Nicastro’s plan is “we are looking at a small building

along Route 46 that we feel would be a perfect home andgive great exposure to the business.”

For New View Media Group, 2015 has been a tremen-

dous year of growth.

With a current circulation of about 159,000 homes

from as far west as Hackettstown to as far east as CedarGrove, New View Media Group has grown from eight

monthly papers this time last year and plans to holdsteady with 15 papers moving into 2016.

On April 1, they had formed a partnership with Oordt,

owner of the Marketeer, a free shopper type supplement.

They changed their name from MJ (My Jersey) Media toNew View Media with “The idea that we have a new

view on media,” says Nicastro.

All community news, from schools to government,

people, organizations, places of worship, libraries, non-

profit organizations, volunteer services, children’s

groups, scouts, fundraisers and more are featured in the

free monthly papers. The company’s philosophy is to

showcase all the good, positive news that surrounds its

readers.

New View Media Group’s publications, moving for-ward, include Mt. Olive News, Hackettstown News,

Roxbury News, Randolph News, Black River News,

Morristown News, Mendham News, Madison News,

Chatham News, Livingston News, Hanover News, Cald-

well News, Verona/Cedar Grove News, Millburn/ShortHills News and East Hanover/Florham Park News.

As far as continued growth, Nicastro says “We are in

the middle of reevaluating the papers to see where and

when other expansions would make sense.”

Offering free publications to all residences and busi-nesses, the company depends on paid advertising. Con-

tact Nicastro at 800-691-7549 or [email protected] View Media Group also invites the community

to help share any positive news with its neighbors by

sending all story ideas and press releases to

T

he hallmark years of Thomas Edison’s life were at

the center of the Dicken’s Victorian era – the reign

of Queen Vitoria (1837 – 1901). Charles Dickenspublished A Christmas Carol four years before Thomas

Edison was born. Charles Dickens had become the influ-entially renowned author of his time who tapped into the

social conscious of the Victorian age that marveled over

the wonder of modern inventions and believed in mindful-

ness to the plight of the poor. The inventions of Thomas

Edison would become significant milestones in the timeline

of the Victorian era. And every well-read American homewould also have the works of Britain’s Charles Dickens in

their own family library. Such was true of the Edison

home. The style and fashion of the Victorian era is paral-

leled to the early life of Thomas Edison and his family.Thomas Edison made two important real estate pur-

chases in West Orange in the last decades of the 19th Cen-

tury. It was in West Orange where he developed his own

plans to build a state of the art factory and research labora-

tory and just a mile away he acquired the Glenmont - a gor-

geous fully furnished Queen Anne style Victorian mansion

in the gated community of Llewellyn Park. Edison, a 39

year old widower and father of three young children mar-

ried Mina Miller in 1886. Glenmont was the wedding giftto his 19 year old bride. Both Glenmont and Edison’s fac-tory lab became legendary early modern American land-

marks and on Sept. 5, 1963 the National Park Service

combined Edison's home and laboratory into a single na-

tional park called Edison National Historic Site.

Many groups and organizations are dedicated to preserv-ing the history of Thomas Edison but, the members of

Thomas Edison NHP, FoTENHP, has a unique passion that

dedicates their volunteer efforts in preserving the physical

structure, grounds and fixtures of these two landmark lo-

cations. It is this group that has raised funds to repair the

stained glass window at Glenmont, been involved in thespring plantings at the estate grounds and participated in

making the Glenmont historically decorative for Christmas

Holiday visitors.

This community of friends of Thomas Edison has been

fundraising for these restoration projects since 1954. They

have fostered the spirit of this era which includes donning

on their best Victorian attire for these festive events. The

goal this year is to raise funds for the factory site. Their

focus is on making the heavy machine shop operationalagain. The main line shaft is in need of significant repair.For those desiring to help preserve these landmarks of NJ’s

awe-inspiring legacies, consider joining FoTENHP or

make a contribution online at www.foedison.org.

FoTENHP is a non-profit organization and contributions

are tax deductible.Visit the Victorian Glenmont bedecked for the Christ-

mas Holiday that revisits Edison family’s Christmas cele-

brations. Go to the visitor center at the Laboratory

Complex, 211 Main Street, to get a vehicle pass for Glen-

mont. Tickets for house tour are on a limited first-come

first-served basis from the Laboratory Visitor Center start-ing at 10 a.m. on Fri., Sat. and Sun. A ticketed tour is the

process to enter the house.

ices in order to participate in the BackpackFood Program. Beginning on Fri., Nov. 13,district staff members will pick up approx-

imately 200 bags of pre-packaged non-per-

Netcong Middle School students are

working on infusing the new New

Jersey Department of Education

Next Generation Science Standards(NGSS) into their curriculum. These stan-

dards are based on the most current re-

search and the way that students learn best.

The NGSS are also connected to the Com-

mon Core State Standards mathematics andliteracy in science and technical subjects’

standards. Grades six through 12 in NJ needto be fully implementing the NGSS by the

start of the 2016-2017 school year. Net-

cong’s middle school science program

began this school yera using the Next Gen-

eration Science Standards in full force.

The students in sixth grade have been

learning about waves and electromagneticradiation. The students in the seventh grade

have been learning about the structure and

properties of matter. The students in the

eighth grade have been learning about

forces and their interactions. All studentshave many opportunities to be engaged

through hands on experiments and activi-ties. They are also doing many virtual labs

on their Chromebooks.

New Jersey Blood Services, a divi-

sion of New York Blood Center,

which supplies blood products andservices to 60 hospitals throughout the

state, is in need of volunteers at blood

drives. The blood service volunteer is an in-tegral member of the collection team whose

task it is assist donors with registration, es-

corting and canteen duties, and to watch for

post donation reactions. Volunteers should

have the ability to relate to the public, beable to perform different jobs as needed and

have the willingness to follow the rules. For

additional information contact, Manager of Community Relations, R. Jan Zepka at 732-

616-8741 or [email protected].

Volunteers Needed

New Jersey Blood Services has

planned the following blood drives:

Fri., Dec.18, Madison Area YMCA,

Madison, 2 p.m. to 8 p.m.

Sun., Dec. 20, St. Jude's Church, Budd

Lake, 8 a.m. to 2 p.m.Sat., Dec. 26, Presbyterian Church of

Morris Plains, Morris Plains, 8 a.m. to 2 p.m.

Mon., Dec. 28, Knights of Columbus

3665, Netcong 3 p.m. to 9 p.m.New Jersey Blood Services, a division of

New York Blood Center (NYBC) is asking

for help to maintain an adequate supply of

all blood types, but especially O-negative –

the “universal” blood which can be trans-fused into anyone in an emergency. In addi-

tion, hundreds of additional blood drives

need to be scheduled to meet projected hos-pital demand. Current inventory of several

blood types is running below the desired tar-

get level.“It’s simple: hospital patient demand for

blood often outpaces our best efforts to re-

cruit donors and schedule blood drives,” said

NYBC Executive Director of Donor Recruit-

ment Andrea Cefarelli. “There are always

reasons but we have to overcome that for the

sake of hospital patients who need us.”“This is one of the toughest times of the

year,” Cefarelli added. “We’re asking forour dedicated supporters to roll up their

sleeves to make sure we’re able to provide

our hospital partners with whatever they

need to take care of their patients.”Blood products have a short shelf life –

from five to 42 days, so constant replenish-

ment is necessary. Each and every day there

are patients who depend on the transfusion

of red blood cells, platelets and plasma tostay alive. But blood and blood products

can’t be manufactured. They can only come

from volunteer blood donors who take anhour to attend a blood drive or visit a donor

center.

To donate blood or for information onhow to organize a blood drive call 1-800-
