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.

leventh Hour Rescue announces Building Hope, a new Capital Fund Raising Campaign intended to fund the building of a new kennel facility located at 484 Route 46 Budd Lake, NJ 07828. The Planning Board of Mount Olive has graciously approved all required variances needed for the construction of the new home for rescued animals. Currently Eleventh Hour Rescue is leasing an old, run down boarding facility in Randolph NJ. The kennel runs are all aged, cramped, outdated, and in need of extensive repairs. In addition, the owners of the property have it listed it for sale. The goal of Building Hope is to create a comfortable haven and a place of Hope. Cold concrete and chain link enclosures are a thing of the past. Specifically designed with their animals in mind, the modern state of the art facility will be a healthier environment both physically and mentally for our animals. The new Doggy Dens will be equipped with heated floors, solid enclosures and free access to the outdoors for fresh air or to simply lay and feel the sun warm their fur. In order for Eleventh Hour to continue their mission of saving animals on death row, to protect the lives currently in their care and to secure their future, they need your support.

S, Army Veteran, This is a life changing opportunity that Cameron experienced; she gained a semester worth of Math, Science, Engineering and Technology in just three days. The entire Saint Michael School is very proud of her just for being selected and successfully completing the camp but when we attended her graduation and discovered that she was selected for several leadership roles that was just icing on the cake. What a wonderful opportunity for this student, hopefully next year we will have many more students attend.
he Saint Michael School (Netcong) Forensics Team proudly reclaimed the coveted Ronetco Cup in the semi-annual Northwest New Jersey Forensics League competition held at Reverend Brown School in Sparta earlier this month. 28 students from 4 area schools pitted their oratorical skills against each other as they presented their interpretations of famous speeches. 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.
Saint Michael School students placed first, third, and fourth in the junior varsity competition, as well as

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.
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-

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
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 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.

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

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

Press remaining rub onto beef steaks. Place steaks and kabobs on grid over medium, ash-covered coals. Grill steaks, covered, 11 to 14 minutes (over medium heat on preheated gas grill, 11 to 15 minutes) for medium rare (145F) to medium (160F) doneness, turning occasionally. Grill kabobs 6 to 8 minutes or until mushrooms are tender, turning occasionally. Remove vegetables from skewers; toss with cheese, if desired. Carve steaks. Season beef and vegetables with salt.
