A Look At Randolph High School Softball


made defensively to keep us in the game as well as Kelly O'Neill's pitching efforts. The captains on the this years roster Tara Barnett, Victoria Conklin and Meghan Gannon did a nice job of keeping the team unified according to McBreen. A junior who emerged as a leader for the program this spring is Amanda Magadan. Amanda is a natural leader, McBreen said. She is a junior but all of the girls look up to her. She is a role model on and off the field and leads by example as well as verbally. Shes a switch hitter, can bunt or hit the long ball. Shes very fast on the bases and defensively one of the best in the county. ONeill, who pitched so strongly in the win over West Morris Central, is just a freshman. She was amongst the student-athletes on the team who were constantly looking for ways to get better as a softball player as the season progressed. Kelly got stronger and more confident as the season went on, McBreen said. She really developed nicely. It wasn't a surprise as I knew she could do it, that's why she was out there. Third baseman Cynthia Meringer had a great season. Along with some game winning RBIs, she also hit a few home runs. As a freshman she also developed confidence with experience. Chrissy Pilkington played great at first base for us, making some key plays and catches. All of the girls really showed improvement as the season went on. The more they played together, the better they all got. When they trusted each other, we played our best. It takes time to foster those relationships but the girls did it. With the type of established veterans that Randolph has brings back next year, its

By Josh Lashley he 2012 season is now complete for the Randolph High School softball team and before looking ahead to the spring of 2013, which can potentially be quite prosperous time for the Rams softball program, its important to glance back at what they were able to accomplish this spring-which was certainly noteworthy. The Rams fought through a tough schedule and ended up with an overall winning record of 12-11, including a 6-5 mark against challenging Northwest Jersey Athletic Conference competition. They advanced to the NJSIAA North I Group IV Sectional Tournament, where they were seeded No. 12 and lost in the opening round to fifth seeded Ridgewood. Livingston eventually won the North I Group IV crown. Randolph earned several important and indeed memorable victories this past season. One that stands out in particular when head coach Brianne McBreen thinks back is a narrow triumph over West Morris Central in nine innings on May 4. The West Morris game was a big one for us, McBreen said. It changed the pace of the season. We won 1-0 in extra innings off of two hits and a bunt. It gave the girls a lot of confidence. There were also big plays

no surprise that McBreen is optimistic. We return a lot of our players, McBreen said. The returnees have the experience of playing together and they have the team chemistry needed for success. Magadan will be a senior and she will continue to be an impact player in the field and at bat. The girls will follow her leadership as well as the other returning seniors, Kayla Johnson and Pilkington.

In preparation for the competition, each participant was required to memorize a 2 to 6 minute selection as well as to give a brief introduction describing the actual circumstances under which the speech was originally given. Gestures, vocal variety, and sincerity of delivery were among the criteria used to judge each participant's presentation.

from the past and give it a cleaner look for the future. Sporn believes that these repairs will make the field look better for visitors who want to play on the fields. When people would come from all over New Jersey to watch baseball at Freedom Park, they would see the condition the snack bar was in. They could have looked at how awful it was and think the same thing about Randolph as a whole. This new clean snack bar is an extension of Randolph and the community, so when people see the repairs and renovations we made, they will see how great Randolph is as a town. Jeremy has been a member of the scouts program since first grade and has always enjoyed being an active member of his community. He has played baseball throughout his growth and is currently applying to colleges to pursue film. Jeremy is an intern for the NY Film Critics series and is always up for learning and bettering himself. Sporn takes pride in knowing he is now an Eagle Scout and hopes to apply what he has learned to his future goals: I realized that becoming an Eagle Scout will be one of the biggest things that I can put on my resume applying for colleges and beyond. The scout program has motivated me to stand out and prepare me for what lies ahead. The whole scouting experience has just been positive for me all around. I encourage people to try it

By Steve Urena 7 -year old Jeremy Sporn has given back to the Randolph community by repairing the announcers booth/snack bar at the Freedom Park baseball fields. The project was completed and revealed to the public on May 5th as part of his Eagle Scout Project for troop 50. After a little over a decade of playing baseball with his friends and family in the park, Sporn started to witness the terrible conditions that announcers booth/snack bar was in, making it an eyesore for the community. While residents saw the booth as a filthy mess, Sporn saw it as an opportunity to make Freedom Park better for future generations who want to play baseball. Ive been playing baseball at Freedom Park since kindergarten, explained Sporn, so I have been in that snack bar doing all kinds of things. Whether it was eating, keeping score, or helping out, none of us wanted to go in there. It was just bad. Nothing was set up properly, so I got some help from my dad and we decided to fix it up. Jeremy, his father Phil, and a few of his friends began plans for the renovations in November and drew up the plans for the fixtures and additions. New commercial floors were installed, mold was removed, and parts of the booth were painted to give it a more modern look. The work wasnt easy but Jeremy was determined to clean up the mess

Lets take a look at the real estate market. Currently there are 70 sales pending in the market overall, leaving 133 listings still for sale. The resulting pending ratio is 34.5% (70 divided by 203). So you might be asking yourself, that's great...but what exactly does it mean? I'm glad you asked! The pending ratio indicates the supply & demand of the market. Specifically, a high ratio means that listings are in demand and quickly going to contract. Alternatively, a low ratio means there are not enough qualified buyers for the existing supply. Taking a closer look, we notice that the $500K - $600K price range has a relatively large number of contracts pending sale. We also notice that the $300K - $400K price range has a relatively large inventory of properties for sale at 30 listings. The average list price (or asking price) for all properties in this market is $527,912.

Real Estate Market Report for Randolph


lar time. The $400K - $500K price range has the highest number of off-market listings at 23 properties.

Looking at the chart below, you might be wondering why average days on market (DOM) is important. This is a useful measurement because it can help us to determine whether we are in a buyer's market (indicated by high DOM), or a seller's market (indicated by low DOM). Active listings (properties for sale) have been on the market for an average of 97 days. Analysis of sold properties for the last six months reveals an average sold price of $470,257 and 101 days on market. Notice that properties in the $800K - $900K price range have sold quickest over the last six months.

The recent history of sales can be seen in the two charts below. The average sold price for the last 30 days was $576,614 with an average DOM of 68 days. Since the recent DOM is less than the average DOM for the last 6 months, it is a positive indicator for demand. It is always important to realize that real estate markets can fluctuate due to many factors, including shifting interest rates, the economy, or seasonal changes. Ratios are simple ways to express the difference between two values such as list price and sold price. In our case, we typically use the list-to-sale ratio to determine the percentage of the final list price that the buyer ultimately paid. It is a very common method to help buyers decide how much to offer on a property. Analysis of the absorption rate indicates an inventory of 7.7 months based on the last 6 months of sales. This estimate is often used to determine how long it would take to sell off the current inventory of properties if all conditions remained the same. It is significant to mention that this estimate does not take into consideration any additional properties that will come onto the market in the future.

A total of 103 contracts have closed in the last 6 months with an average sold price of $470,257. Breaking it down, we notice that the $300K - $400K price range contains the highest number of sold listings. Alternatively, a total of 88 listings have failed to sell in that same period of time. Listings may fail to sell for many reasons such as being priced too high, having been inadequately marketed, the property was in poor condition, or perhaps the owner had second thoughts about selling at this particu-

Teen Celebrates Birthday by Giving Back to Others


post-its on the mirrors inside women's bathrooms at CCM telling them "you are beautifully and wonderfully made" so stop putting on your makeup. "Sometimes that's all people need to feel better.that boost of confidence." She continued her day with other acts of kindness such as taping quarters on vending machines at CCM for others to enjoy a snack; placing words of encouragement under car wipers wishing her peers good luck on finals; buying a dozen donuts from Dunkin Donuts in Ledgewood and delivering them to the Roxbury Police Station; buying food for customers behind her like at Dunkin Donuts and Taco Bell, and gas at a local gas station for a car next in line. At Shoprite, Stroessenreuther bought five balloons and delivered them to five random children at the grocery store. "The look on the kids faces were priceless," she says. "It made their day." One mom at the store had twins so Stroessenreuther helped the mother load her groceries into her car. She also helped a physically challenged woman pull her grocery cart out; and purchased a $20 gift card and handed it to the woman behind her in line. "She gave me a really really good hug," says Stroessenreuther, who also handed the woman a letter explaining her act of kindness. With every act, Stroessenreuther handed the recipient a letter that explained her reasoning behind her random acts of kindness (RAOKS). In her letter she states: "Today is my Birthday and I wanted to do things a little differently this year! I am completing 10 RAOKS to celebrate my 19th birthday and you have been blessed to receive a bonus from a friendly stranger, so enjoy it to the fullest." The letter continues: "Today I'm deciding to be the change I've wished to see in the world and I hope this RAOK starts a chain reaction of good deeds just because you're a kind person. So instead of disregarding my good deed please pass it on to another perfect stranger of your own." Other acts of kindness included delivering old towels at Noah's Ark animal shelter in Ledgewood; candy and a thank-you note in her mailbox for the mailman; hand towels, soaps and sponges to Hillside Church in Succasunna where she is a member; candy to the nurses station at the pediatric and maternity wards at St. Clare's Hospital in Denville, as well as coloring books, crayons and construction paper for kids in waiting room. One nurse hugged her and said, "We need things like this to happen everyday." During lunch time, Stroessenreuther went into the Macaroni Grill in Mt. Olive, purchased a $15 gift card and brought it to a table of four ladies eating lunch. "This was the best part of the whole day," says Stroessenreuther. "They took the gift card and told me their story how they are four cousins who have lunch at the Macaroni Grill once a year since they live in distant areas. One had tears rolling down her face behind her glasses. I just shook my head and said 'see this is why I'm doing this.'" The four cousins were very appreciative. "It was so refreshing to do this thought-

By Cheryl Conway t is better to give than receive but how about on one's birthday? The day when it's "all about me," presents galore, cake, candles and happy birthday wishes. Michele Stroessenreuther of Succasunna threw these traditions aside last month and instead of a birthday list filled with "me" wishes, she created a list with just the opposite. On Monday, May 7, Stroessenreuther spent most of her 19th birthday giving back to others with 19 acts of kindness. A 2011 graduate of Roxbury High School and incoming sophomore at County College of Morris in Randolph, Stroessenreuther's birthday wish this year is to see a change in the world. "So much of what society is, it's all about you," she explains. "What do you want for your birthday? I think it's just nice to be a good person. People were so shocked that a perfect stranger could do something nice for no reason at all." It was about 10 months ago when Stroessenreuther found the idea online and decided that "I want to do this for my birthday." On May 7, Stroessenreuther- who works as a full-time nanny -started her birthday with her first act of kindness by placing

ould you like to make your summer with the kids more productive, less stressful and more fun? Sherry Onweller, Professional Organizer from Sherrys Organizing Solutions (908619-4561), has some ideas for you: Set a Schedule Make a daily schedule and stick to it. Morning may be for brushing up on school skills by: keeping a journal, doing some fun educational math activities on-line, etc. And then afternoons can be for going to the pool, spending time with friends and the like. Camps Decide if there are any camps that are available that would further develop your childs interest in a particular topic. Look for options that fit into the family budget. School Shopping Make a list of clothes and sports equipment that will be needed in the fall. Download school supply lists as early as possible. And then hit the stores early, before everyone else does. Chores Summer is a great time to begin a chore chart, with designated jobs by week, by child. Decide as a family how to divvy out the chores on the chart, how to fairly rotate and how success will be measured and rewarded. Family Fun Be sure to schedule time

Keeping Your Family Organized Over the Summer

for fun activities to do as a family. They can be close to home or a big trip; either option can be equally rewarding and successful at building family bonds. School Paperwork - Pare down those piles of school papers and artwork and pick the best, toss the rest, frame a few art pieces (take photos of the rest), allow 1 box per child to save special papers that most express the child at that age. Having a plan of action for the summer will allow you to have more time with your family and will put you in control of your time.

ful generous thing," says Maureen Frischmann of Succasunna. "At the age of 19, I was not thinking about other people that's for sure," says Dee Friend of Stuart, FL. "It's sweet for a young person to do, to be so unselfish." "It's an incredible thing what she did," says Katherine Walsh of Ledgewood. Stroessenreuther estimated that she spent about $120 completing her acts of kindness, but the expense did not matter to her. She wound up getting some money from her family as her birthday present. "After doing these acts of kindness I felt really good about myself and who I was as a person," says Stroessenreuther. "People would ask me, 'what did you do for yourself and I said 'nothing for me in particular,' and yet I didn't feel like I did nothing, but that was ok because I helped so many perfect strangers instead.. It just felt good to help other people. "The people I affected with the acts of kindness are people I think needed it the most. You know, it's funny how people nowadays don't really understand someone wanting to do something nice for them. They think you're a little weird when really you're just a person trying to be the change I've wanted to see in the world."

Tell Them You Saw It In The Randolph News - June 2012 - Page 21 The New Year begins with the New Jersey Premiere of WITH TWO WINGS by Anne Negri that will run February 1st to the 24th, 2013. In a world where people are born with wings and the ability to fly, a young boy named Lyf lives a hidden existence in the woods with his parents. One day, a pair of twins, Meta and Taur, stumble upon Lyfs isolated home. Meta gives Lyf secret flying lessons and Taur begins to ask questions about Lyfs mysterious family. When Lyf discovers his fathers top-secret invention, Lyf must confront his parents and face a reality that will either tear them apart or bring them closer together. This piece was selected from the Growing Stages 2011-2012 New Play Reading Series that was done in collaboration with Playwrights Theatre of New Jersey. PINKALICIOUS THE MUSICAL closes the 31st Main Stage Season as it runs from April 12th to May 12th. Based on the popular book by Elizabeth Kann & Victoria Kann, PINKALICIOUS features the music of John Gregor, with lyrics by John Gregor, Elizabeth Kann and Victoria Kann. This is the tale of Pinkalicious, who cant stop eating pink cupcakes despite warnings from her parents. Her pink indulgence lands her at the doctors office with Pinkititis, an affliction that turns her pink from head to toe a dream come true for this pink loving enthusiast. But when her hue goes too far, only Pinkalicious can figure out a way to get out of this pink predicament. PINKALICIOUS THE MUSICAL is about learning the power of self-control and the importance of moderation. In addition to its Main Stage offerings the Growing Stage will also continue its Youth Theatre initiative the Studio Series - that provides young people the opportunity to work alongside the Growing Stage professional production team in all-youth productions at no cost. The Series will open with EAST OF THE SUN, WEST OF THE MOON which was adapted by Brian Kral and is based on the Norwegian Folk Tale which will run from January 11th to the 20th, 2013. EAST OF THE SUN, WEST OF THE MOON features a young girl battling supernatural forces to free a young man from a terrible spell. Karen is on a quest into the dark Scandinavian wilderness, populated by magical trolls, mysterious hags and talking gargoyles. Without hesitation she struggles to save a young man from the curse that makes him "a bear by day and a man by night." Humor and heroic adventure accentuate this adaptation of the epic of a girl achieving adulthood. Next in the Series is JUNGALBOOK, adapted by Edward Mast and based on the Mowgli stories of Rudyard Kipling which will run March 8th to the 17th. This dramatization places the jungle of India on a children's playground. The dialog and action refer to the jungle, but the play draws color and style from a child's intense world of playfulness, loyalty, adventure and betrayal. Mowgli, the human child grows up in the jungle, raised by wolves under the guidance of Baloo the bear. The tiger Sherakhan killed his parents and wants the boy's flesh, but Bagheera, the lone panther, protects him. Mowgli grows up wild and unconcerned, believing he's a wolf; but the tiger works long and hard to poison the wolf pack against him. With rope stolen from the human village, Mowgli meets and destroys Sherakhan; but his use of "manthing" has broken jungle law. Mowgli must choose whether to defy the law or leave the jungle forever. JUNGALBOOK received the Distinguished Play Award from the American Alliance for Theatre & Education. The series concludes with SHUT DOWN by Growing continued on page 22

The Growing Stage...


continued from page 21 Stage Teaching Artist Danny Campos who will also direct the piece. The performance date has not yet been determined. Technology - has it run amok? Individualism - is it a thing of the past? How do you unplug innovation that has been created to serve the masses, when a part of its outcome steals the creativity of the one? Presented in a unique, free format utilizing words and music - this piece explores the effect the wireless world has on communication, relationships and the social communities our young people are growing up in. The Growing Stage will also feature THE WAR OF THE WORLDS adapted for the Radio by Howard Koch and based on the book by H.G. Wells. This presentation will be run October 27 & 28, 2012 and will be simulcast by an area radio station. On Sunday, October 30, 1938, millions of radio listeners were shocked when radio news alerts announced the arrival of Martians. They panicked when they learned of the Martians' ferocious and seemingly unstoppable attack on Earth. Many ran out of their homes screaming while others packed up their cars and fled. Though what the radio listeners heard was a portion of Orson Welles' adaptation of the well-known book, War of the Worlds by H. G. Wells, many of the listeners believed what they heard on the radio was real. All across the United States, listeners reacted. Thousands of people called radio stations, police and newspapers. Many in the New England area loaded up their cars and fled their homes. In other areas, people went to churches to pray. People improvised gas masks. Many people were hysterical. They thought the end was near. The Growing Stage is committed to creating and presenting professional theatre for young people and their families. It is not an offset or side programming feature of our organization its our lifes work, its what we as a company of professional artists are dedicated to create for our audiences states company director, Steve Fredericks. The Growing Stage strives to provide audiences with the unique and affordable opportunity to share a fun, culturally significant moment in their intimate and very special venue.

The club would also feature 17 tournaments that pitted the best golfers in NJ against each other for an ultimate prize. The club was slowly growing and becoming a big hit for the county. As the club grew and evolved, a group of members started exploring the possibility of buying the club from Taylor and the Travelers Insurance Company, so it could be turned it into a private club. The Panther Valley Golf and Country Club would soon become incorporated and A Bi- Law Committee would be implemented for its new vision. Frank H. Taylor and his company were having financial issues during this time and the Matthew Phillips organization was brought in to manage Panther Valley. Marcel Mersch and Dick Pulling were the forces behind the negotiations to purchase the club from Taylor and his associates. In 1977, the sale was made final and the club had become owned by several members of the club. Though this was a pivotal point in the history of the club, monetary issues would soon follow. From 1977-1988 Problems would arise with club managers and chefs and several buildings on the

Panther Valley Golf and Country Club Celebrates Its Rich History

By Steve Urena efore golf lovers were hitting the links, the Panther Valley Golf and Country club was originally a part of the estate of Clendenin James Ryan Jr., grandson of New York City financier Thomas "Fortune" Ryan. Ryan had a bit of a reputation in those days, as he was the last of the robber barons of Wall Street. The estate was then known as Panther Ledge Farm and it was a 4,000 acre cattle farm for Black Angus cows to be bred and raised. Fast forward to 1967, and the blueprint for the 18-hole golf course would be designed by Robert Trent Jones. The development of the course was a joint venture between a Travelers Insurance Company and East Orange native Frank H. Taylor. The club would open two years later in 1969 and would feature a championship quality course for all golf aficionados to enjoy. Originally, the course started out with 9-holes and then quickly transformed into a full 18-hole golf course in 1970. By 1971 all members of the club were of one class and they were all men. There were thirty-eight regular members, forty-one non- resident members, two junior members, and four junior-combined members. There are still two members from that first

course would be abandoned all together. Temperance Hall would burn down due to a faulty electric heater and water damage occurred and infestations reared its ugly head. It was a troubling time for the club but after some hard times they would soon turn lemons into lemonade. Throughout the 90s into today, membership would grow and renovations would be made to turn the club into the thriving busi-

ness that it is now. Currently the club is run by PGA professional David Pasternak and the club is always looking for new members. Pasternak is an avid golfer and has won PGAs golf professional of the year award in 2007 and 2011. The club is still located right next to the Panther Valley Mall and is a sight to behold.

Thomas Edison the Inventor of Hello


did get anchors aweigh with the phone lines. Edison preferred the word hello, which comes from `halloo - a call out to the ferry boat operators for doorstep boarding. By the 1880s, Hello started becoming the new greeting expression used in popular places and by current celebrities of their time like Mark Twain. Edisons product marketing savvy made sure that his rival Bells Ahoy Ahoy was officially ignored. Found in AT&Ts historical archives, Edison wrote in 1877 that he thought the word `hello should be used for opening a phone conversation. This decisive- divisive moment was confirmed when he wrote to T.B.A. David, the president of the Central District and Printing Telegraph Company of Pittsburgh: Friend David, I do not think we shall need a call bell as Hello! can be heard 10 to 20 feet away .. By 1889, central telephone exchange operators were known as 'hello-girls'. Today many chat through Twitter. Jack Dorsey states he found the word for his innovation when "...we came across the word 'twitter', and it was just perfect. The definition was 'a short burst of inconsequential information,' and 'chirps from birds.' Hello! - now that is something to Tweat

By Michele Guttenberger lthough Thomas Edison is recognized for his developments of the phonograph and the light bulb, he also had involvement in improving the telephone with Alexander Graham Bell. It was Thomas Edison that replaced the Bell & Watson's telephone parchment diaphragm with the carbon transmitter - a conductive medium that greatly improved transmission power and provided better clarity. A simple prototype of the telephone was invented by Alexander Graham Bell (working with Thomas Edison) in 1876 and was put into commercial use in 1878. Thomas Edison and Alexander Graham Bell formed the Oriental Telephone Company on January 25, 1881. By 1885 long distance calls became possible with switchboard operators connecting wires strung across large distances. However, Bell and Edison had different notions on how to let a caller know you picked up the phone. Bells preferred phone greeting was not `hello' nor even Hey or Yea. He used `Ahoy, Ahoy. Maybe intuition influenced his choice of words since a few decades later Bell developed plans for hydrofoil boat designs. Ahoy Ahoy never

China King Restaurant A Little Chinese Oasis in Kenvil


by Elfie Mason or nigh to a decade, the family of Mr. Leo Wong, owner of the China King Restaurant, has been supplying Kenvil and surroundings with tasty Chinese specialities. The family-friendly restaurant is tucked away in the Kenvil Plaza, right next to the intersection of Rte. 46 & Hillside Avenue. It is easily spotted from Rte. 46, thanks to its cheerful red and yellow sign. For those customers who like to go out and sit for a bit while eating their food, a restaurant area is sectioned off for dining, decorated in very authentic Chinese style. In addition to dining in, the restaurant of course offers take out and if the customers live locally, a free of charge delivery service is available (min. order $10). Besides well-known dishes like General Tsao's and Sweet and Sour Chicken, the menu presents a wide selection of Chinese dishes that meet the taste of both Asian and non-Asian customers. One of the best is Beef and Shrimp with the luscious wide rice noodles (beef/shrimp chow fun). "We take pride in cooking every meal using the freshest ingredients only" explains Mr. Weng. The staff only use 100% vegetable oil and abstain from using any MSG. The portions are very generous, the prices very affordable. Lunch specials price just over $5.00 and really beckon to be tried out! Service is very efficient. Should you nevertheless need to wait a few minutes for your order, make sure to have a good look at the large picture of Westlake, one of the most romantic and poetic spots in China, or why not say hello to the handsome Beta fish on the counter! Thanks to the warm-heartedness of Mr.

Weng and his crew, China King is more than just a Chinese Restaurant. To me--who in the past lived in China for a number of years --- it has become a little friendly Chinese oasis in the middle of New Jersey's

hether cooking on a gas or charcoal grill, at home, at a park or at a tailgate, grilling provides an unmistakable aroma, a sizzling sound and maximum flavor. And research shows that when it comes to grilling, nearly three out of four Americans choose beef as the meat they grill the most often; but nearly 30 percent are still looking for more information on how to harness the power of the grill. For guaranteed, delicious results when grilling beef, try following these three easy steps: 1. Choose Your Cut - Some of the best cuts for grilling include naturally tender ribeye, top loin (aka strip) and ground beef. Flank steak is also an excellent choice after a dip in a tenderizing marinade. Tip: Rubs and marinades are easy ways to add flavor and tenderize. 2. Prepare Your Beef - Prepare grill (gas or charcoal) according to manufacturers directions for medium heat. Remove beef from refrigerator and season with herbs and spices, as desired. Tip: Wait to salt until after cooking so you dont draw out the natural, flavorful juices from the meat. 3. Grill - Place beef on grates and grill, covered, turning
