By Kate Halse

The once-thriving dog park located onEmmans Road in Ledgewood hasbecome a sight for sore eyes since it

was first built by volunteers four years ago.

Three girls from Girl Scout Cadet Troop

660 believe that with a little bit of help, thedog park can once again become a fun andinviting place for dogs to play. HeatherDrury, Sophie Olsen, and Emily Fowlercame up with a plan to fix the park and pre-

sented the idea to Mayor Fred Hall early in

Roxbury Dog Park to Get Makeover By Girl Scouts in RoxburyMarch. The Mayor thought highly of theirproposal and gave them permission to begintheir project, stating that their efforts will beappreciated by the community and hopeful-ly give the park the attention it deserves.

The fenced-in area seems to be every-thing a dog and its owner could want. Thereare obstacles to climb on and plenty ofspace for them to run around. Cleanliness isimportant at the park, with bags for ownersto use to clean up after their pets.

Hall agreed with the girls, calling thepark "dilapidated" and noting that this is agreat project for the girls to undertake.Fowler notes that the dog park "should havemore of a presence." She believes that thereis plenty of room to work with, but theexisting park does need some help, saying

that although the space is large, "all that'sthere is a big concrete tube and a firehydrant."

Even after the park was first opened, itwas thought to be a good idea by many inthe local community, but unfortunately thespace was underused. Hall and the girlshope that the park's renovations willencourage dog owners to use the space fortheir pets.

In order to begin the project, the girls areasking the community for donations andsupplies. To help with the cost, the girl

scouts are baking and selling cookies tosupport their work. Their efforts have

caught the attention of Home Depot, whichdonated some lumber wood. Although theyhave some materials to begin, the girls arefocused on the big picture, including land-scaping and other necessities. Fowler states

that the girls would like to plant a tree inaddition to one that is already there, alongwith flowers. She notes that the scouts arehoping to give the park a new plaque whenit is opened.

As their project needs continue toexpand, the scouts have narrowed down thesupplies and materials they need. Items onthe list include gravel and pressure treatedlumber. In addition, a dog pole, a teeter-tot-ter, and "bones" are in their plans for thepark's improvements.

Their ambitious plans don't end there. As

soon as the park is reopened, the girls wouldlike to sell hot dogs to help raise money forbullet-proof vests for the local K-9 policedogs. This effort will help support the"Capital K-9 Association," an organizationthat helps give working dogs around thecountry the bullet-proof vests they need forthe job.

The park has an estimated completiondate of the fall, with the girls and theirfriends and families planning to work on theproject during the spring and summer.

Donations, suggestions, and offerings for

the project can be sent to: Girl Scout Troop660, 91 Emmans Road in Ledgewood, NJ.

Some have survived the battle; others are the friends or

relatives of those who have lost their lives or are still

fighting. Still others have come just to lend their sup-

port. They take to the track to walk; team members pass off

as the relay continues. However, theres no loser in thisrace. Theres only a winner: the American Cancer Society.

This is the American Cancer Society Relay for Life.

Relay For Life is a team relay event to promote aware-

ness of cancer and raise funds for the American Cancer

Societys mission of eliminating cancer. The Relay For

Life is an overnight event celebrating the life of cancer sur-

vivors and a time to remember those we have lost. It is a

time with friends and family - to catch up with that person

you havent seen in the longest time. It is a candle lit for

those you remember or wish to honor, and a time to know

that you can make a big difference in the lives of others,

explained Jaime Bennett of Roxbury, an American CancerSociety staff partner

Relay for Life events are held across the country; local-

ly, one will be held at Hopatcong High School,2 Windsor

Avenue in Hopatcong,on May 18-19. Registration begins

at 2pm, The event kicks off at 4pm. The closing ceremony

is May 19th at 8am when those in attendance celebrate what

theyve accomplished together.

Helping bring about the Hopatcong Relay for Life event

are Bennett and Tara Rossy of Hopatcong, who is the event

chairperson. Bennetts role is to manage the volunteer com-

mittee and help the community plan and execute the event;

Rossy works with Bennett and members of the local com-munity to put the event together.

Take a Lap to Beat Cancer

The survivor's lap at last year's Relay for Life held in Hopatcong.

Both have personal ties to cancer which draws them to

the event.

I lost my father to cancer when I was 15. My great

grandmother passed away when I was very young, and my

aunt is a survivor. I recently lost a friend to cancer; he was

only 30 years old and left behind 3 children. Cancer hastaken too much from too many people, said Bennett.

Rossy shared, My first experience with cancer and loss

was losing my grandmother to breast cancer when I was 12.

Since then, it is sad to have seen how many family friends,

relatives, and community members have passed from can-

cer. I want to help put a stop to this.

Both Bennett and Rossy will be on teams walking thecontinued on next page

track. Bennetts team of family and friends is called,

Friends Beating Cancer. Rossys team, Saving Second

Base, is made up of family members and was named in

honor of Rossys grandmother for her sense of humor.

Rossy noted that was something she carried with her untilthe very end.

However, the relay isnt just about loss; it is about tri-

umph, too. It starts with the survivors lap. Those who have

beaten the disease take the first lap.

The survivor lap is beyond words! To see these strong

men, women, and children circle the track after having beat

this horrible disease is amazing. The sense of hope, love,

and strength you feel is unbelievable. And that is just the

beginning of the event! said Rossy. Survivors are also

invited to attend a special dinner in their honor

So, how can people get involved in Hopatcongs Relay

for Life? You can form a team of your own. You can join a team.

You can sign up as an individual. You can donate online.

You can sign up as a survivor for the survivor lap. You can

become a sponsor. You can join the planning committee.

You can volunteer at the event. There is something for

everyone at Relay! Visit www.RelayForLife.org/

HopatcongNJ to sign up, donate, or learn more! said

Bennett.

Rossy added, You can also sign up as a virtual team or

team member. These people can't make it to the event, but

still want to show their support and raise money. Also, we

sell luminaries which are white lantern bags that are lit with

candles during the event. For $10, you can decorate a bag

or write the name of someone you want to honor or remem-

ber. They are available on our website or from anyone

signed up.Rossy noted that people get scared when they hear this is

an overnight walk, thinking they aren't physically able to

participate. However, she noted that there are variety of

ways people can help. She invites people to register and

come and see what its all about. The event has games,

music, crafts, food, and fun all night long. Theres some-

thing for everyone!

At last years relay, they had 300 participants and raised

nearly $30,000. This year they want to beat those numbers

and hope people will come out and help.

Bennett shared, Everyone has been affected by cancer

in some way. Whether you're a survivor, you know a sur-vivor, or if you've been one of those who has lost a loved

one. Relay For Life is our opportunity to come together and

fight back against a disease that has taken too much.

Whether you come for the survivor's lap, or the emotional

luminaire ceremony, or if you decide to stay with us

throughout the night- I encourage you to sign up online and

contribute in some way. Every dollar brings us closer to a

world where nobody has to hear the words, you have can-

cer. Please, join us!

Dancers Raise Money For Boy With Rare Disease

malformation. After surgery, Dylan was expected to make a

full recovery, but after several weeks of physical therapy, he

was not progressing.

After a follow up MRI showed a significant change in

Dylan's white brain matter, the Flinchums traveled to the

Childrens Hospital of Philadelphia (CHOP) where it was

confirmed that Dylan is suffering from MLD, a rare, genet-

ic disorder that affects nerves, muscles, other organs and

behavior in about one in 40,000 people, primarily children,

worldwide.

Expenses have included multiple trips to CHOP for

treatment as well as special medical equipment and therapy

to help Dylan as the disease progresses.

Last year, DAmelio sponsored the first Dance-a-thon

for Dylan raising $13,000; this year she raised $5,300.

Less people came out to watch this year, says

DAmelio. Last year more came to watch and gave dona-

tions. Its hard times to give money.

At the dance-a-thon this year, 50 girls, ages three to 19,

By Cheryl Conway

About 50 girls danced the day away last month to

raise money and awareness for a four-year old boy

battling a rare disease.

The second annual Dream Dance Studio Dance-a-thonfor Dylan was held Sat., Feb. 16, from 11 a.m. to 6 p.m. at

Hopatcong High School. Dream Dance Studio in

Ledgewood hosted the event and raised more than $5,000

for Dylan Flinchum of Lafayette.

At the age of three, Dylan was diagnosed with metachro-

matic leukodystrophy, a degenerative disease often referred

to as MLD. All proceeds go to help Dylans parents, Mike

and Melissa Flinchum, with their medical expenses.

As soon as I found out he was diagnosed with it, I con-

tacted his mothers sister on how I can help, says Kristy

DAmelio of Sparta, owner and director of Dream Dance

Studio.

"Being a new mom, when it comes to a child being sick,

it hits home and I want to help anyway I can.

Childhood friends since their middle school and high

school years, DAmelio wanted to help raise funds for her

friend so she could spend as much time with her son instead

of worrying about finances and working. She recalls how

Dylan used to climb, jump, run and talk, and then overnight

he stopped walking, explains DAmelio. He doesnt do

those things anymore.

Shortly after Dylans second birthday, he began to expe-

rience difficulty walking. After being referred to several

medical specialists and top neurosurgeons in the country, it

was determined that Dylan had a condition known as Chiari continued on next page

pizza at the dance-a-thon; parents baked

cupcakes and cookies; and 2 Sweet Cakes

donated three-dozen cupcakes.

The dancers and DAmelio took a group

picture with Dylan.

I got to hold him, says DAmelio, and

I cried my eyes out the whole time, while

the DJ played the song Stronger by KellyClarkson.

Since DAmelio was hoping to raise

more money for Dylan this year, she has

decided to hold a third show at her annual

dance recital with all proceeds going to the

Dylan Flinchum Rock-On Foundation. This

years recital is set for Sat., June 15, at

Roxbury High School with shows at 11

a.m., 4 p.m. and 7:30 p.m. The third show

will be for solos, duets and trios and all

monies raised through ticket sales will go to

Dylan.Her passion in helping Dylan is to not

only help raise money but also to raise

awareness of this unusual disease.

Its rare, says DAmelio. Not many

people know about it. There is no cure.

Nothing is being done to get a cure. When itcomes to kids, I will help out anyway I

can.

The next big fundraiser for Dylan is set

for May 11- Dylans Dinosaur Stomp- at

Modick Park in Hopatcong, a 5K Run and

family fun day, with proceeds going to the

Rock-On Foundation.

Dancers Raise Money...continued from previous page

By Elsie Walker

For Christians, the

words of Christ are

precious, especially

His last seven words as He

faced death on a cross. Inthe early church, priests

would sing the Passion, the

story of Christs death,

rather than just read it.

Slowly the presentations of

the story became more elab-

orate with composers like

Bach creating great passion

oratories. However, it was

French composer Theodore

Dubois who decided to cre-

ate a cantata focusing onjust Christ s final seven

words. The work has been

rarely heard; however, a

local Netcong resident will

be helping to bring it to life

in Newton this coming Palm

Sunday.

On Sunday, March 24 at

4 p.m at First United

Methodist Church, 111

Ryerson Avenue, Newton,

Dubois The Seven LastWords of Christ will be per-

formed. Organist Henry

Repp of Netcong, will direct

the Chancel Choir of the

First United Methodist

Church, supplemented by

singers from Newton

Presbyterian and others in

presenting the piece. A free

will offering will be taken.

Dubois cantata starts

with an introductory move-ment which is followed by

seven sections, each

focused on one of the seven

last sayings of Jesus. The

cantata ends with a setting

of the ancient hymn,

Adoramus Te Christe, a

consoling conclusion. Repp

shared that this piece has

been performed at the

Newton church in the past,

but not for 20 years.In addition to Repp and

the 30-member choir, help-

ing to bring Dubois music

to life are soloists Rev.

David Young(Bass), John

Meredith(Tenor) and

Shirley Spooner (Soprano).

Joining them will be harpist,

Merynda Adams.

ground includes a Bachelor

rently Senior Principal

St. Gregory Orthodox Church, at 5

Church Street in Glen Gardner cele-

brated its 32 anniversary on February

8th. Although the church has been in sever-

al locations, it has been in its present loca-

tion since Sept. of 2000. The church is pan

American and has members from many

backgrounds that include Romanian, Greek,

Russian as well as many who are converts

to the faith. In 2012, the church council,

with the blessing of Fr, Kilian, their pastor,

embarked on extinguishing the existing

mortgage by borrowing from their cash

reserve. By Dec. 2012, the loan was repaid

and the church became mortgage free. To

celebrate this event, a consecration of the

church is planned for June 2, 2013. To pre-

pare for this event, a new altar table with

icon of the mystical supper has been select-

ed. Additionally a candle stand on the altar

and icons next to the candle stands outside

the royal doors, have been selected. At the

consecration, the new altar will be washed

with rose water and wine and relics of a

saint will be placed inside the table. After

the consecration service, a banquet at

Beaver Brook Country Club will follow.

The church members are looking forward

with anticipation to this momentous event.

Weekly services at St. Gregorys include

Vespers on Saturdays at 5 p.m. and Divine

Liturgy on Sundays at 10 a.m. Starting on

March 20 and going through April 24,

Liturgy of the Pre-sanctified Gifts will be

served on Wednesdays, at 7 p.m. For more

details of upcoming Lenten services, please

consult our website at www.stgregoca.org

or call the church at 908-537-1099.

Orthodoxy 101 classes are held on

Wednesday evenings, where the tenets of

the Orthodox faith are investigated by those

who wish to become Orthodox and for those

who just want a refresher course in their

own faith. Along side the services the mem-

bers enjoy fellowship and fundraising activ-

ities. The newly organized Sisterhood of St.

Sophia is holding a spring bulb sale. A Fish

Dinner is planned for Sat. March 16th from

5-7 p.m., where $8 will buy a complete din-

ner for an adult and $4 for a child. Please

join us to enjoy friendship, fellowship and

good food!

By Elsie Walker

Closed off in a large room, they won-

der what will happen. There is an

uneasiness in the air. Once 12 trust-

ed friends, now one will betray them all by

betraying their leader. In disbelief that one

could do such a thing, each reflects on his

life and asks, is it I Lord?

On March 28th at 7:30pm, the events ofJesuss Last Supper will come alive in a dra-

matic presentation at the Stanhope United

Methodist Church, #2 Route 183 in

Netcong. Portraying the disciples will be

members of the churchs United Methodist

Mens group. A freewill offering will be

taken.

You can paint a picture of the Lord's

supper with words in a sermon or devotion.

However, when each man steps forward to

introduce the disciple he is portraying, and

then takes his place at the table and breaksbread and shares the cup with Jesus, it

becomes a real life experience for both the

men and the congregation, said the

churchs pastor, the Rev. Tom Kinter.

Kinter himself is under-study for two parts.

The cast includes local area residents,

Angelo Benincasa as James the Lesser,

Randy Schrader as Matthew, Jayson

Daniels as Nathaniel, Steve Wootton as

James, Jim Oscovitch as Andrew, ScottLefurge as Judas, Rick Munoz as Thaddeus,

Orson Gale as Phillip, Bruce Bristol as

John, Jason Worthington as Simon the

Zealot, Fred Sampson as Peter, and Dana

Benbow as Jesus.

As Jesus' beloved disciple, John, I

extend to all a personal invitation to join us

as we share our thoughts and concerns with

you about what will happen to Christ after

we finish our Last Supper with Him, said

Bristol.

Its been 25 years and the bunny is still hopping

and still hiding eggs. At 1pm on March 23th,

the Port Morris United Methodist Church will

hold its 25th annual Easter Egg Hunt and PuppetShow. The event is open to children ages 1 10.

The church is located at 296 Center Street in

Landing. Parking is on the street and in the lot on

Main Street (behind the church). The event is free.

Coordinating the event and providing the puppet

show is Miss Tina Berchak of Stanhope. Berchak

and a band of volunteers will entertain the children

and get them ready for the arrival of the bunny.

Once the hunt begins, the children will follow the

bunny to where hes hidden his eggs. Children will

be separated into egg groups for the hunt.

Following the hunt, the children will return to thechurch for games and refreshments.

Marking its silver anniversary, the event has

come a long way from its first year, when it consist-

ed only of the hunt. Being nave about egg hunts,

no one thought to have bags on hands for the

hunters. There are memories of mothers, acting like

farmers, and using their shirt tails as baskets

where their children could place their found eggs.

Over the years, the church has learned its lessons

and has encouraged children to bring a basket or a

bag in which to put the eggs they find.

So many children, so many eggs. Twenty-five

years of them. I look forward to this event every

year, said the Easter Bunny.

A sentimental part of the March 23rd event will

be a display of pictures from the past 25 years. Past

hunters can look for themselves in the photos. Some

of those past hunters now bring their own littlehunters to the event.

Reflecting on the day, the churchs pastor, Nick

Petrov said, A tradition of Easter is the egg that

symbolizes, in a Christian context, both the tomb of

Jesus and the new life Jesus brings by his resurrec-

tion. A fun opportunity to highlight this belief is our

annual Easter Egg Hunt that happens the weekend

before Easter. I am so happy that it will be our 25th

Annual Easter Egg Hunt. It is such a joyful event,

with lots of games, a puppet show, piata, refresh-

ments, and candies. A smiling Easter bunny and

helpers will have sprinkled plastic Easter eggs

around the secret hiding place. After filling their

baskets, the children head into the Church building

again lots of fun and lots of cookies await in the

Fellowship hall. What a day! This wonderful com-

munity event is sponsored by our Port Morris

church and has been going on for many years. We

are so happy to reach out to our neighborhood and

it is a privilege for us to share with the kids the joy

of Easter. However, the love these kids give far out-

weighs anything we could ever do for them.

and Puppet Show, call: 973-347-0381.

At St Michael School in Netcong, we

believe it is important for children

to maintain continuity of learning

during the summer months! Did you know

- that the lack of education during the sum-

mer months that all students experiencelearning losses if they do not engage in edu-

cational activities. Also a fact is that on

average, students lose approximately 2.6

months of grade level equivalency in math-

ematical computation skills during the sum-

mer months. That is why many teachers

have to review curriculum when the school

year starts.

This great summer camp at St. Michael

School has a great fun academic program to

keep your child learning. We offer different

weekly themes that are incorporated into theacademic curriculum! We also recognize

that children need to have fun during the

summer months so we make sure that is a

large part of camp! We have field trips,

crafts and outside activities to ensure the

children remember how much fun summer

is!

We use a variety of technological tools to

help keep learning interesting and current

with the 21st century! Our camp is safe, fun

and staffed with certified teachers, a regis-

tered nurse and certified staff!

St. Michael School Academic camp

begins July 1, 2013 and runs until Aug. 16,

2013. Camp hours are from 9am to 3pm

with morning care available beginning at

7:30 am and aftercare available from 3pm to

5 30pm. Camp fees are as follows:$150.00/week with an optional $20.00

morning care fee and a $30.00 aftercare fee.

The first week of camp is only 3 days due to

the Fourth of July holiday so the camp fee

will be will be $75.00 for that week. The

camp fee includes breakfast, lunch and field

trips. Additional discounts are available for

siblings, campers who attend all 7 weeks

and students enrolled at St. Michael School.

This camp is open to the general public. For

parents can roll the camp cost into an 11month payment plan. At St. Michael

School we believe that the quality education

we provide throughout the school year

should be continued into the summer. Our

REMODELED!

by Elfie Mason

For 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 restau-

rant area is sectioned off for dining, decorat-

ed in very authentic Chinese style. In addi-

tion 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 fresh-

est 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 afford-

able. Lunch specials price just over $5.00

and really beckon to be tried out! Service isvery 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 roman-

tic 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

disons WesternElectric was a direct

current system andhis fierce competitor wasWestinghouse electric com-pany, which used alternat-ing current. Edison argu-ment against AC power wasso prolific that the feud hadpresented a nasty side ofEdison. Shrewd at market-ing and public relations,Edison set out to find livingexamples on the dangers ofAC power.

Thomas Edison looked forany demonstration to get thepublic to detest and fear thepromotion of AC power. Hefound it by marketing theexecution effectiveness ofAC power over DC. Hisfirst public negative cam-paign on AC power was in1887. He held a publicdemonstration in WestOrange, New Jersey. Edisonconfigured a 1000 voltWestinghouse generator and

connected it to a metal platewhere he executed a dozenanimals with it. This

became the intended specta-cle for the press and a newword was coined - "electro-cution" to explain the fatalapplication.

Harold Pitney Brownwith very little formal train-ing in the field of science orinvention wanted to be asuccessful inventor. Browngot Edisons attention whenhe wrote an editorial in theNew York post of the tragic

incident of a young boy whowas killed by accidentlytouching an exposed tele-graph wire using alternatingcurrent.

Edison would help pro-pel the career of HaroldPitney Brown a formerWestern Electric Companysalesperson who soldEdisons electric pens.Brown had greater aspira-tion than equipment sales.Thomas Edison hired

Brown to work on thedesign of an inferiorElectric Chair using DC

power. In 1888 the NewYork legislature passedelectrocution as the state'smethod of execution.However, there were twodesigns for an electric chair-one using AC and the otherDC power. A committeewas formed to decide on thebest method and Edison sawan opportunity to sway thepublic on the fatality of ACpower with AC the choice

current for capital punish-ment. Edison was deter-mined that executionsshould be carried out byAC. He had instructedHarold Brown to stealthilyprocure and installWestinghouse AC genera-tors in the prison to helpfacilitate the committeechoice in choosing ACpower for executions.Edison also had a key ally toinfluence the committee.

He hired Dr. Fred Petersonas Harold Browns assistanton designing the inferior

DC electric chair forEdison. Coincidently, DrPeterson was also on thecommittee and he helpedsteer the committee intochoosing the AC electricchair. The electrical execu-tion law went into effect onJanuary 1, 1889.

Westinghouse realizedthe negative impact of thisdecision to the publics per-ception of AC power.

Westinghouse refused tosell AC generators to theNew York state prisonauthorities. Edison helpedNY bypass the hurdlesplaced by Westinghouse.Edison provided the ACgenerators the state needed.

Westinghouse even paidthe appeals for the firstinmates sentenced to deathby electrocution on thegrounds that "electrocutionwas cruel and unusual pun-

ishment." Edison and

Brown counter testified thatit was a "quick and painlessform of death." ThomasEdison and the state of NewYork won. For many years,the lexicon for electric chairexecutions was beingWESTINGHOUSED.

These public electrocu-tion spectacles promoted byThomas Edison continuedinto the new century. OnJanuary 4, 1903, Topsy abad-tempered circus ele-

phant succumbed to 6,600-

volts of AC charge.Please visit the National

AAUW-NJ Communications VP

The American Association of

University Women New Jersey, Incand Rutgers University School of

Engineering are calling on all New Jersey

High Schools grades 9-11 to participate in a

day of college campus workshops on STEM

(Science Technology Engineering and

Math).

On Thursday May 23, 2013, high school

girls from around the state will have the

opportunity to learn problem-solving skills

by engaging in hands-on workshop sessions

with faculty and students in Technology and

Engineering disciplines.

The goal of the program is to encourage

them to explore the many high-demand,

well-paying careers in technology areas.

AAUW's report, Gender Gaps, indicated

that young women lag behind young men in

acquiring technical proficiencies. The

report cites evidence that girls are more

likely to use technology when they see its

real-world applications. This years pro-

grams are:

Kitchen Chemistry How and why do

the things we use everyday (like dish deter-

gent) work.

WaterWater Put together the ulti-

mate super-soaker in Part I, then make it

work in Part II.

Build a BridgeTo Wherever YouWant To Go Use the basics of civil engi-

neering to design and build a safe bridge to

wherever your imagination takes you.

Walk With Technology Work with a

team to design a prosthetic leg that will help

someone walk again.

Clean and Green Work with a team of

engineers to design and test ways to clean

up oil spills that damage our environment.

Wheeeee!! -- Build the most outra-

geously exciting, scary roller coaster you

can imagine.

we want to go. This hands-on experience

will show you how.

It is not too late for your school to partic-

ipate in the program with a registration fee

of only $20.00 per person. Please have

your school representative contact Jean
