Taming of the Shrew
Did You Know…
T
he Washington Twp. Public Library, 37 E.
Springtown Rd. Long Valley, NJ presents The
Taming of the Shrew performed by the Next Stage
Old Glory Has Gone Through Many Changes
Ensemble Touring Company of The Shakespeare Theatre of By Jack Mc Cabe Henry during the War of 1812 and inspired Francis Scott

New Jersey on Saturday, July 18, 2009 at 2:00 p.m. This
presentation is co-Sponsored by the Long Valley Women’s
Club.
When Kate meets Petruchio, the sparks (and the furni-
ture) fly. Shakespeare's wild and woolly comedy is the per-
fect match for the fast-paced style of the Next Stage
Ensemble, directed by stage combat specialist Doug West.
This classic battle of the sexes is also a heartfelt comedy in
which apparent opposites discover just how much they
have in common.
One of the divisions of The Shakespeare Theatre of New
Jersey's Summer Professional Training Program, the Next
Stage Ensemble was created to foster the work of early-
career actors. Participants take advanced classes in voice
and movement, while working on hour-long productions of
classic and contemporary plays. These productions bring
theatre to a variety of locations throughout the region
including libraries, retirement communities, summer
camps, and schools. Acting as "ambassadors" of The
Shakespeare Theatre of New Jersey during the summer
months, the Next Stage Ensemble brings theatre to commu-
nities throughout New Jersey, with a special emphasis on
audiences who cannot travel to the Theatre.
This presentation is recommended for ages 12 and up
and lasts for approximately one hour. This program counts
toward Adult Summer Reading Program prizes! Call the
Library at 908-876-3596 or go to www.wtpl.org and sign
up under the Library calendar for this program!
T
he American Flag as we know it today differs great-
ly from the first ones to be used during the colonial
days. While the flag said to have been sewn by
Betsy Ross became the first official flag of the United
States, there was one used before this, though it was never
officially recognized.
This flag of Continental Colors was known as the Grand
Union or Cambridge flag, the Union flag, the Continental
flag, the Somerville flag, and the Great Union flag. In
design, it had the British Union Jack in the canton (upper
left corner) and 13 alternating red and white stripes. On
New Year’s Day of 1776, the American forces under the
command of George Washington attacked the British forces
that had taken over Boston, and this flag was hoisted over
Washington’s base camp at Prospect Hill.
The Betsy Ross Flag was designed with 13 stars and 13
stripes to depict the 13 colonies of Delaware, Pennsylvania,
New Jersey, Georgia, Connecticut, Massachusetts,
Maryland, South Carolina, New Hampshire, Virginia, New
York, North Carolina, and Rhode Island. This flag became
official on June 14, 1777, when the Second Continental
Congress passed the Flag Resolution of 1777. We now cel-
ebrate this event as Flag Day.
One of the most famous American Flags is known as the
Star Spangled Banner Flag, which was flown over Fort Mc
Key to write the Star Spangled Banner. The poem was put
to music and became our National Anthem. Designed by
Mary Pickersgill and her daughter, this flag contained 15
stars and 15 stripes to represent the original 13 states, along
with Kentucky and Vermont.
As more states entered the Union, more stars appeared
on the canton. When Tennessee, Ohio, Louisiana, Indiana,
and Mississippi entered statehood, Congress passed the
Flag Act of 1818, allowing five more stars on the flag while
reducing the number of stripes from 15 to 13. Designed by
Navy Captain Samuel Reid, this 20-star flag was also
known as the Great Star flag and the Flag of 1818.
The name “Old Glory” referred to the 24-star American
Flag, which came about from the admission of Missouri.
The 28-star flag was the first to be carried into battle by
American troops during the Mexican-American War, and
came about when the United States annexed Texas. When
the Civil War began on April 12, 1861, the flag sported 33
stars after the admission of Oregon, and upon its ending on
April 19, 1865, the flag contained 35 stars. Noteworthy was
the fact that the 35th star represented West Virginia, after
Virginia split itself in two separate states to divide the areas
that supported the Confederacy from the other parts that
supported the Union.

Old Glory...
continued from page 5
An Executive Order was passed by President William H.
Taft in 1912 that established definitive proportions for the
flag, arranging the now-48 stars into six horizontal rows of
eight, after the additions of New Mexico and Arizona. With
one star to be added by the admission of Alaska, President
Dwight D. Eisenhower passed an Executive Order in 1959
to design the 49 stars into seven rows of seven stars each,
with each row staggered horizontally and vertically. The
design was changed later that year by another Executive
Order of August 21, 1959, which brought the arrangement
to nine rows of stars staggered horizontally and 11 rows of
stars staggered vertically.
The 50-star American Flag came about with the addition
of Hawaii, and was designed from the creation of 17-year-
old Bob Heft, who correctly predicted that Hawaii would
gain statehood after Alaska. Heft designed a 50-star flag for
his high school history class that was selected by President
Eisenhower to become our National Emblem. This design
has 13 alternating horizontal stripes, seven red and six
white, which represent the original 13 colonies. The 50
stars represent the 50 states of the Union, while the three
colors on the flag symbolize hardiness and valor (red), puri-
ty and innocence (white), and vigilance, perseverance, and
justice (blue).
From colonial times to the present, and no matter what
the design, the American Flag has always been a source of
great pride and the symbol of unity and strength for our
country. Long may it wave!

The Abandoned Mines
By Alison Shearer
T
he Earth has been continuously changing for thou-
sands of years, and still does so to this day.
Mountains evolve and lakes expand, all of this being
known to the world, except for what goes on way down
below our feet. The practice of mining has taken place since
the time of The Ancient Egyptians and Romans and contin-
ued on into the modern era through countries all over the
world and in the United States. Though over time, mining
died down, which left many mines in the United States to
either become abandoned or shut down, leaving behind a
legacy of history right under the surface.
It was not until September of 2004 that mine explorer
Dan Lopez created the website (www.abandonedmines.net)
and decided to seize the opportunity and explore various
mines located throughout New York, New Jersey, and
Pennsylvania. Before creating the website, he visited mines
either alone or with his father, taking photographs and soak-
ing in all the history of the shafts, ruins, miner cemeteries
and “other remains that fascinated me.” After visiting the
Sterling Hill Mine in Ogdensburg, Lopez met a tour guide
who said there were over four hundred abandoned mines
located in the state of New Jersey alone, which sparked
enough interested to want to explore them all. When asked
about how he started, he said, “ I amassed a large collection
of 19th century maps and literature, which provided the
path of travel.” After going into hundreds of mines, Lopez
concluded that it was the Ringwood Mines that stood out
the most to him, saying, “ They are very old and from the

18th century, being worked before and during the revolu-
tionary war.”
The abandoned mines group is made up of engineers,
business owners, authors, stockbrokers, computer system
managers, students on weekdays and mine explorers on
weekends. The group does public presentations at local
libraries and mineral organizations, displaying their find-
ings and teaching people of the histories and stories of each
and every mine. The group gives an occasional public tour,
depending on the mine if it is safe or too dangerous to
explore. With the impact of the mines, their history, and the
importance of the public knowing this, Lopez said, “All of
us have dotted lines back to the mines. If your driving a car,
using a computer or cell phone, everything you did was
built from the minerals that were extracted long ago by the
miner pounding the rock with a drill and sledgehammer, 12
hours a day for 6 days a week.”
Even though the American mining industry has faded,
working men from all walks of life put in many hours of
sacrifice and blood to put food on the table and produce
goods that would help the American economy. Left long
ago to be absorbed into the earth’s soil, not many people
would expect such an array of history to come from some-
thing as simple as a mine. It is the groups like The
Abandoned Mines one that bring the legacy and history of
the mines back to life for all the curious to see. Not many
people realize that there is a world under their feet that still
exists!

Budd Lake 100% Hand Car Wash Is Under New Ownership
By Cheryl Conway
A
utomated machines are gone from
the Budd Lake Car Wash, but one
thing remains automatic - the clean-
est, sparkling vehicles from the new hand-
wash system.
The Budd Lake Car Wash on Route 46 in
Budd Lake switched owners last April and
has changed from an automated car wash to
a hand-wash. The car wash has existed for
about 14 years.
Owners Rob Willis of Rockaway and
John Farnsworth of Roxbury decided to buy
the company and switch to a hand-wash
method because they say washing a car by
hand is more effective, results in a cleaner
finished vehicle and is less likely to be dam-
aged by brushes.
Vehicles, “they come out cleaner, no
brushes touch the car,” says Willis. “They
will most likely have less damage done and
it’s more likely to come out better. We clean
every door jam and trunk jam.”
Farnsworth, who has been friends with
Willis for 30 years, agrees. “Hand wash
gives you a better wash. You get all of the
crevasses. You get under the doors. You just
don’t have some brush going over it.
“They get a 100 percent great car wash,”
continues Farnsworth, who also owns JT
Kingtown Citgo gas station in Ledgewood.
“There’s no brushes; they get a hand wash.
We gently massage the car. There’s no one
else in the area that does what we do.”
The closest car wash that uses a hand-

wash method is in Randolph, according to
Willis, owner of Bunky’s Towing & Auto
Repair in Dover, a family business that he
has run for the past 25 years.
“Car fanatics” for years since they both
worked in a car-related business, Willis and
Farnsworth were both eager to start a new
business venture so they agreed to purchase
the Budd Lake Car Wash and provide a bet-
ter service.
The new car wash offers new equipment,
such as new rinsers and dryers. Customers
wait behind a glass partition so they can
watch their car being vacuumed, cleaned
from the exterior to the interior, rinsed and
dried.
Customers can choose from six different
packages that range in price from $10.50 to
$19.95. Services include exterior hand
wash; inside vacuumed; dash board wiped
out; inside windows cleaned; clear-coat pro-
tectant; under-body wash; under-body pro-

here’s a certain sense of satisfaction
when a team’s hard work and disci-
pline in practice translates to victory
on the playing field. The West Morris
Central High School boy’s lacrosse pro-
gram put in the time and effort this spring
and the results were very positive.
The Wolf Pack tallied an undefeated
record of 6-0 in the Iron Hills Conference
Iron Division and collected an overall sea-
son mark of 15-5. WMC advanced far in the
NJSIAA Group II State tournament before
losing a contest to South Jersey power
Moorestown.
“We had great contributions from our
senior class,’’ West Morris head coach
Robert Goodwin said. “In particular, those
contributions came from Sal Carfaro and
Kevin Barnes at midfield, Tyler Bertsen and
Brett Bononno at attack and Andrew Seals
on defense.
“We also had great contributions by
underclassmen such as Mike Burton at mid-
field, Tom Malley in goal, Scott Isenburg
and Matt Domaratzky on defense.’’
Of course there are also those individu-
als who showed steady improvement from
the fist day they stepped on the field for
practice through the duration of the season.
“Probably our biggest surprise was Sam
team on attack with 78 points.’’
Throughout the 15 victories that West
Morris garnered this year, there are not sur-
prisingly some contests that stand out in the
head coaches mind.
“Probably our best games were the State
game against Ramapo, which won, 9-8,’’
Goodwin said. “We won the Seton Hall
game by a score of 9-8 and we defeated
Mendham, 9-8, for the Pooley Trophy.’’
The victory over Ramapo came in the
quarterfinal round of the Group II state
tournament. In the pre-quarterfinals, West
Morris downed West Deptford, 18-2. The
loss to Moorestown occurred in the semifi-
nal round. The Wolf Pack entered the brack-
et as the No. 2 seed and Moorestown was
seeded third.
In the Group II state championship
game, top seeded Summit downed
Moorestown, 9-8.
Though the Wolf Pack had its share of
success during the 2009 season, they won’t
be resting on their laurels. They now look
ahead to 2010 with a good deal of opti-
mism.
“We have most of our defense return-
ing,’’ Goodwin said. “On offense, we return
Morrissey, Burton and Brian Jordan. We
hope that some underclassmen step up.’’

car wash after nine washes. Customers can
also purchase pre-wash books that contain
coupons. Gift certificates are also available
for a car wash or car detailing.
Besides getting a clean car when visiting
the Budd Lake Car Wash, customers can

member – “Bacon”- a miniature pig.
“It was my wedding anniversary gift,”
says Willis, who also owns a few miniature
goats but had always wanted a pig. “I
bought her a Chrysler 300 and she bought
me a miniature pig. Kids can feed and pet
our pig.”
Married for two years, Carolyn Willis
who helps her husband with the car wash
business says “he always talked about want-
ing a pig. I found one that will only grow to
40 pounds, so I bought it for him.”

a confusing, dangerous and challenging city and time. As a 1966.
rock musical it ranks with Hair, Jesus Christ Superstar and
Tommy as being uniquely of its time, the advent of the new
millennium.
RENT is loosely based on Puccini’s 19th Century opera,
La Boheme, about young, starving artists and lovers in the
back streets of Paris. In the same way that tuberculosis was
the plague of La Boheme’s century, the devastation of
AIDS dominates the early 1990s world of RENT. Because
RENT deals with mature themes, the show is not recom-
mended for pre-teenagers.
GENERATION NEXT, the Castle’s teen production
company composed of young men and women between the
ages of 13 and 18, will be front and center playing all the
roles, as well as doing lights, sound, music, and stage man-
aging the production.
More than 50 New Jersey high school students will
bring the East Village of NYC world of RENT to life.
Leading the cast are Dan McCormick of Lafayette,
Stephanie Savvides of Kinnelon, Janette Zosche and
Richard Cramer of Andover, Anthony Ardolino of Oak
Ridge, David Maglione of Newton and Tiffany Rios of
Morris Plains.
RENT is directed by Stan Barber of Budd Lake, who
with musical directors Darlene Yannetta of Hackettstown
and Matthew Gandolfo of New York, has produced and
directed nearly 250 musicals over the Castle’s 40 year his-
tory.
RENT will be performed Friday and Saturday Evenings

What is the most challenging thing about

I think the most challenging part of this job

Tony’s Bistro: Delighting Diners Since 1985
By Kathryn Davis
S
tatistically, the restaurant business is
risky, with a high percentage failing.
According to an analysis in the
August 2005 issue of the Cornell Hotel and
Restaurant Administration Quarterly, the
total failure rate is about 60%. So how has
Tony’s Bistro in Califon managed to stay in
business, and do so successfully, for nearly
a quarter of a century? That’s easy. It’s their
uncompromising quality. Tony’s continues
to prove itself again and again as one of the
finest dining establishments in the area.
Tony Kucevic, owner and head chef of
Tony’s Bistro, has been creating magic in
his kitchen since the restaurant opened in
1985. A graduate of both culinary college
and Fordham University, Tony worked with
New York chefs at Vesuvio’s in the 1970’s.
Moving to Califon in 1976, he opened a
pizzeria on Route 513, and later opened the
Bistro.
Having heard about Tony’s from friends,
I was curious to discover what had earned it
accolades from so many loyal patrons. I
arrived with a friend on a weekend evening
and found the entrance on the side of the
building with ample parking. Inside, we
strolled past a bar on the left with a partition
that lends privacy to diners. The restaurant
is divided into three main sections, and has
a softlit, cozy atmosphere. We were greeted
almost immediately by a friendly hostess
and seated at a table dressed with white
linens.
Knowing I was writing an article, Tony
decided to prepare several smaller portions
so that I could sample a variety of offerings
from the menu. This was quite helpful since
the menu and list of specials was so intrigu-
ing, making a choice would have been a real
challenge. With our drinks, an attentive and
courteous server brought a basket of fresh-
baked crusty bread and warm garlic knots.
My friend and I were started out with
three appetizers. The antipasto, slices of
ripe tomatoes topped with fresh mozzarella
and roasted red peppers, dotted with black
olives, and served on a bed of lettuce, was a
nice beginning. The ceasar salad, crisp
romaine with a light dressing and crouton
chunks, was another good beginning. The
Coconut Shrimp, however, was the real
standout. Served with a delicious honey-
mustard dipping sauce, the large, tender
shrimp had a sweet, crisp coating, and were
quick to disappear.
Next to arrive at our table were two pasta
dishes. The first, Spinach Ravioli with
Marsala Sauce, is often offered as a special.
Having had marsala sauce prepared incor-
rectly in other establishments, I am always
reticent. Here, however, I found the sauce to
be perfect, perhaps the best I have ever had.
Beneath it, the pasta was cooked tender,
each ravioli was topped with large mush-
room slices, and the spinach/cheese filling
was superb. The other pasta dish was
Rigatoni in Vodka Sauce. What can be said
about a good vodka sauce? Not all restau-
rants have mastered it, but Tony’s was rich,
creamy, and just incredible. Both pasta dish-
es were topped with fresh basil, which
comes from the garden just outside. Tony is
proud of his herb garden, telling me later in
the evening that all the herbs he uses are
grown fresh on the premises. Since my
friend and I both realized we would be sam-
pling additional dishes, we forced ourselves
to eat only a portion of the pastas, not an
easy task.
When our main entrée selections arrived,
we found ourselves sampling from three
different plates. The Eggplant Rollatini,

continued from previous page
generously rolled with cheese and drenched
in a delectable tomato sauce, was a choice I
would certainly make on a future visit. The
Flounder Piccati was lightly fried, moist
and flaky with a crisp coating, presented
with lemon slices, and placed beneath a
light, tangy sauce with capers. What my
friend and I were most impressed with,
though, was the Chicken Monterey. The
large, tender chicken breasts were breaded
and fried with crisp pepperoni, and smoth-
ered in a rich, creamy monterey jack cheese
sauce. While this dish had been recom-
mended to me by more than one friend, I
hadn’t expected to be as impressed as I was.
If you do nothing else in life, I strongly sug-
gest you make it a point to visit Tony’s and
order this dish.
When it came time for coffee and
dessert, we were offered one of several spe-

cialty coffees including Italian Coffee

were served Homemade Tiramasu and
Canolis. In the past, I have not been partic-
ularly impressed by Tiramasu, and would
not have ordered it by choice. Both my
friend and I were quite surprised at how
delicious this homemade specialty of the
house was. Served with dollups of fresh
whipped cream and a splash of chocolate
sauce, this was a light and creamy dessert
that we savored to the last. The chef later
confided to me the secret of his personal-
ized recipe, but, alas, I am sworn to secrecy.

created by Tony. The filling was the lightest
I have ever encountered. It was rich and
creamy with just the right balance of sweet-
ness.
What I found particularly intriguing at
Tony’s was the warm and inviting atmos-
phere. The main objective of owner and
head chef Tony Kucevic is to make his cus-
tomers happy. If a customer requests a spe-
cial that is not currently on the menu, they
are willing to make that dish on request.
Tony’s also does private parties with seating
from ten to eighty, and off-site catering as
well.
“We do everything,” Tony explains. “I
don’t have a catering menu. I tell the cus-
tomer to come down and we’ll plan the
menu together. You tell me about your
guests. We basically create the menu. I can
do a carving station, whatever you want. I
can recommend tents, a florist. We have a

Stay Healthy During Grilling Season

W
hen it comes to warm weather
parties, few ideas are more popu-
lar than a backyard barbecue.
However, as enjoyable as such gatherings
can be, they can cause problems as well,
particularly if certain steps aren't taken
when it comes to cooking and handling
food.
* Clean your hands: Most backyard barbe-
cues feature a host of standard fare when it
comes to the menu. Burgers, steaks, hot
dogs, and poultry are some of the most pop-
ular items. If you're handling raw meat and
poultry, wash your hands between touching
the meat and then touching the poultry.
* Don't marinate outside: Any good grill-
master knows that the key to a successful
barbecue is how well the food is marinated.
If marinating food for an extended period
of time, keep the food refrigerated while
marinating. Also, be sure not to apply left-
over marinade to food that's already
cooked. If you're wary of wasting the mari-
nade, boil it before applying to cooked
food. The boiling will remove any bacteria
left in the marinade by the raw meat or
chicken.
* Use a meat thermometer: Many grill
chefs have heard cries that their food isn't
cooked well enough. Typically, this is heard
after someone puts all the fixin's on their
food. That can make continuing to cook the
food a messy ordeal. To avoid such
instances, use a meat thermometer on burg-
ers and steaks. In general, burgers should
be cooked to 160 F, while meats such as
steaks, roasts or london broil can be cooked
to 145 F (medium rare) or 160 F (medium).
Undercooked poultry can be especially
dangerous, so cook to 170 F.
* Change utensils and plates: Once the food
is cooked or if you're checking to see if it's
finished, don't use the same utensils to
remove or check food that you used to
place it on the grill. Also, carry the
uncooked food out on one plate, and pres-
ent cooked food on another plate to avoid
food contamination.
* Heat a charcoal grill properly: If you pre-
fer to use a charcoal grill, make sure the
coals are heated for 20 to 30 minutes before
you put any food on the grill. Coals should
not still be black if you're about to com-
mence cooking. Instead, they should be
gray.
* For tailgaters, cool your food as wel:
Grilling out isn't confined to summertime
or backyards. Sports fans across the nation
often take their grills to the stadium and
tailgate before the big game. In such cases,
make sure you bring a food-only cooler
along. Keep food separated and refrigerated
in the cooler and until it's time to do some
cooking.

Harlin’s Point of View....
No, No, No, No, NO!
by Harlin Parker
N
o. Some word, eh? It’s short, only
two letters and one syllable. It’s a
handy little word too, very easy to
use. It can save you from having to think
very much, from having to have actual
opinions, from having to offer anything
positive. All you need do is say “No,”
rejecting what is being offered. Now,
while I admit this “No” thing may be good
when it comes to eating too much, it does-
n’t help when it comes to grappling with
public policy issues. Here, if you’re going
to say “No,” then you really should be pre-
pared to offer some actual, positive ideas
(note: hackneyed slogans do not constitute
ideas).
The radical right wingers have been say-
ing “No” quite a bit lately. I’ve begun
thinking of them as the “No People,” half
expecting to see their new disco album on
store shelves this summer. Those on the
radical right, the No People, including
Congressional representatives, senators,
governors as well as elected state officials
and all those “talking heads” (you know
who they are) have been hunkering down
over the past months, simply rejecting well
thought out, intellectually honest, fact
based and supported ideas that the Obama
administration and Congressional
Democrats have been offering.
The No People have been saying “No”
to any effort to do anything positive to
move this country forward, away from fos-
sil fuels to clean energy. You know, the
kind of energy that our American engineers
and entrepreneurs have been working on
and are ready to further develop and com-
mercialize? The kind of energy that will
not only bring good paying, sustainable
American jobs but that will also finally, and
drastically, cut the flow of hundreds of bil-
lions of dollars that go each and every year
from us here in America to the countries
that are clearly not our friends or allies,
like, say, Saudi Arabia. America’s friend?
Saudi Arabia pays millions of those same
dollars to the radical Islamist groups that
carry on the hatred and killing of Americans
that we continue to fight against around the
world. American investment in clean, 21st
Century energy will pay more than just
environmental dividends. But the No
People just keep saying, uh, “No.” They
offer us only a slogan, “Drill Baby Drill.”
Yeah, right. That’ll work.
The No People have also been busy
shooting down any real attempts to deal
with America’s dysfunctional healthcare
industry. The same people who tell us they
want smaller and more efficient govern-
ment, the same people who want to lower
our taxes, are the same people who gave us
Medicare Part D prescription drug cover-
age. You remember? The No People made
sure that government was legally denied
any ability to bargain with drug manufac-
turers to ensure minimal prices. Instead,
the drug manufacturers have jacked up their
prices “big time” as they like to say, need-
lessly wasting billions of hardworking tax-
payers’ dollars. But at least the drug com-
panies’ top executives and shareholders are
doing quite nicely for themselves, even
after the millions of dollars of campaign
contributions they’ve had to make.
On healthcare, the No People haven’t
just been saying “No,” they’ve been busy
trying to scare the bejeebers out of us,
warning against a “government takeover”
that will deny us the care we need. Let
alone that this is a flat out lie, it also shows
how the No People support the status quo.
They don’t want us to lose what we have
now. Gee golly. That sure is nice of them
to be so concerned about us.
Yep. Those nice people at Aetna are just
so so so concerned about me. That second
operation that my nationally renowned sur-
geon directed, the one that was turned
down, twice, by some bureaucrat (uh, I
mean some nice customer service represen-
tative), that was only approved after weeks
of badgering and threats of litigation? The
No People see no problems. That wasn’t
“rationing.” And I should realize that get-
ting turned down by an ignorant low level
functionary of a profit making insurance
company at least is better than having to
deal with a “government bureaucrat.”
But, not to worry, just in case we really
don’t like our present coverage, such as it
is, the No People have offered us some
change. They want us to go out, on our
own, to try to buy health insurance in a
deregulated market. You, on your own,
against the big insurance companies. Good
luck, especially if you have one of those
pesky “pre-existing conditions.” Let me
know how it turns out.

Tom’s Point of View...
Cap and Trade?
Limit and Tax is more like it.
by Thomas Lotito
H
ave you heard the term "cap and
trade"? What does it mean to you
and why should you be concerned
about it? The House of Representatives nar-
rowly passed a bill called Cap and Trade.
H.R. 2454,the American Clean Energy and
Security Act of 2009 (Waxman-Markey).
Seven Republicans voted for this bill,
three of whom are from NJ, and sold out to
special interest environmental groups, for-
saking economic recovery and betraying
their constituents .
The three New Jersey Congressmen are,
Leonard Lance, 7th district, Chris Smith,
4th district, and Frank LoBiondo, 2nd dis-
trict. Shame on them.
Like the stimulus bill, the cap and trade
bill has not been read, has not fully been
written and is not a done deal in the Senate,
because of fears that the bill will kill eco-
nomic recovery. Barack Obama has said he
would sign the bill because it will create
green jobs and stop global warming.
Cap and trade, (Emissions Trading) will
virtually effect every area of life as we
know it today in the United States. The
Federal Government will have the authority
to set a limit or cap anything that can be
called a pollutant. Companies and individu-
als will be issued emissions permits and
will be required to hold a specific number
of allowances or carbon credits. The total
amount of allowances cannot exceed the
cap or limit.
Companies who exceed their limit must
buy credits from those who pollute less.
This transfer is called trade. The whole idea
behind this concept is that those who pol-
lute less will save money.
All of this sounds like a good concept,
but, what does this mean to you, the home-
owner, the consumer, the automobile
owner?
Cap and trade means new draconian tax
increases and redistribution of your money
to people who meet low income standards
set by the Federal government.
In January 2008 Barack Obama sat down
and talked with the San Francisco Chronicle
and said the following, " Under my plan of
cap and trade, electricity rates would sky-
rocket, I'm capping greenhouse gas, coal
power plants, natural gas, you name it, this
will cost money that will be passed down to
the consumer".
According to Ben Lieberman of the
Thomas A. Roe Economic Institute for
Economic Studies at the Hoover Institute, "
this is the most convoluted attempt at eco-
nomic central planning this nation has ever
attempted--the bottom line is that cap and
trade works by raising energy prices high
enough so that individuals and businesses
are forced to use less of it, causing econom-
ic pain."
Lieberman also went on to say that, "the
bill has provisions to give back some rev-
enues to low-income households in the
form of energy rebates.
Here are some questions and concerns
that need answering. Does cap and trade
mean you won't be able to heat your house
comfortably in the winter, simply because
gas and oil will become too expensive?
And, will you use your car less because the
price of gas will be unaffordable? Isn't that
the situation America is in now with gas and
home heating oil prices reaching as high as
$4.50 a gallon last year, even though gas
supply is plenty and consumption is down?
The American economy is shrinking, unem-
ployment is almost 10% and people with
jobs are having their hours cut back worry-
ing if their jobs will be there tomorrow.
Isn't this the same thing that Jimmy
Carter and the Democrat Congress majority
tried in the 1970's, when legislation was
passed not to drill in ANWR (Alaska
National Wildlife Refuge) and increase
windfall profits taxes on oil companies?
Slowing down oil production, causing high
unemployment, gas shortages and a reces-
sion? Does anyone remember?
Remember gas lines, odd and even plate
numbers? Are you ready for rationing? Isn't
that what's happened in third world coun-
tries like Cuba? Rationing of gas, oil, food?
According to my mother in-law Dora who
was in Cuba when Castro took over, the two
first acts of the Castro regime was to send
the army house to house to make sure that
pilot lights on stoves were extinguished to
save gas and that food was rationed. Her
husband Raúl owned a grocery store and
was told to ration food, Raúl did not ration
food and spent 10 days in jail before he
decided to move his family to America.

The Way of the Roman Empire
W
hat’s wrong with this country?
It’s not just the Democrats. It is
both parties. It just so happens
that the Democrats are in power and have
been in power even under George Bush.
When Bush first cam into office he
inherited a recession from Clinton. I did not
hear him constantly saying that he inherited
it. Obama keep saying this and using the
excuse of Bush for his failures.
Look it was inevitable. The man got
elected because people wanted to make his-
tory. He did not get elected because he was
the he is qualified. That is a proven fact over
the past 6 plus months and what is happen-
ing to this once great country.
Let’s look at the facts:
All during the campaign Obama and
Biden screamed that we are in the worst
economy since the great depression. For a
second time on a Sunday news show Biden
said: "The truth is, we and everyone else
misread the economy," Mr. Biden no one
but you and Obama misread the economy.
Obama and Biden were the people who dur-
ing the campaign kept hammering home we
are in the worst economy since the depres-
sion. So after spending trillions of dollars
you now decide that you underestimated
how bad the economy is?
Why not blame Bush for this one too?
Obama is on a spending spree like no
other president in our entire history. We are
further in debt than ever before. He created
the largest deficit than any other president
in our history and not a single state run
media outlet is calling him on that.
What is the fascination with Obama?
This man keeps on spending like a drunken
sailor!
These are just some of the plans: (1) his
10-year, $150 billion program to "establish
a green energy sector," (2) his 10-year, $60
billion "National Infrastructure
Reinvestment Bank," (3) his nearly univer-
sal health care plan (whose annual price tag
he low-balls at $50 to $65 billion) and (4) a
host of refundable tax credits ranging from
$4,000 per year for college students to a
tripling of the Earned Income Tax Credit for
minimum-wage workers, Mr. Obama plans
to (1) end the war in Iraq, (2) permit the
Bush tax cuts to expire for households earn-
ing more than $250,000 and (3) "change our
tax code," which "has been rigged by lobby-
ists with page after page of loopholes that
benefit big corporations and the wealthiest
few." Even his fans like Colin Powel are not
too happy.
Colin Powell, expressed concern Friday
that the president's ambitious blitz of costly
initiatives may be enlarging the size of gov-
ernment and the federal debt too much.
"I'm concerned at the number of pro-
grams that are being presented, the bills
associated with these programs and the
additional government that will be needed
to execute them," Mr. Powell said in an
excerpt of an interview with CNN's John
King, released by the network Friday morn-
ing.
Now with this so-called Cap and trade
that was passed by the house with the sup-
port of the president has plans to cut C02.
The problem is that it will cost every
American household between 3,000-4,500
per year. The other problem is with this
bogus idea of global warming. From New
York to Arizona we have had the wettest
and coldest June since 1958. I cannot stand
the idea that people like Al Gore think he is
bigger than God who controls what will last
and what will not. I know we need to be
responsible and take care of the land but not
with the governments taxing everything
made.
The policies of this administration will
end up destroying the United States. The
Democrats that have been in control since
Bush was President are destroying this
country. Obama has no experience on
finances, foreign policy and certainly in
leading a country. A community group
maybe but not a country.
He has weakened us. Countries like
North Korea and Iran spit in our faces. We
are turning into a socialist country that will
ultimately destroy us.
Here are some facts of why the Roam
Empire failed. The sad part is that the
United States is on the same course. Obama
is facilitating in most of these downfalls. I
replace the Roman Empire and some names
for easy reading. This is history with facts.
You can see the comparisons to the United
States of today.
The United States (Roman Empire) was
strong for a time. It was founded on geogra-
phy, family values, military strength, and
wise leadership. It flourished because of
social, economic, political, military and
religious strengths. However, when the very
things that make a civilization flourish start
to decline, the civilization will also lead to a
downfall.
The first reason for the fall was econom-
ic decay. The rulers of United States (Rome)
had expensive lifestyles. To aid their image,
they needed money. They gained money
through taxation on the poor. In response to
the torment of tax collectors, the poor fled
to barbaric lands. The poor made up a large
percentage of the Roman population.
Barbarians disrupted trade on the
Mediterranean sea. Rome's gold and silver

were being drained into buying luxuries
from China, India, and Arabia. The govern-
ment decreased the silver content in money.
The value of the money also decreased.
Diocletion attempted to curb the inflation.
He issued an edict that fixed maximum
prices and wages throughout the Empire. It
was an unrealistic and unenforceable idea
which failed. The emperors still felt the tax
issue needed to be addressed. They decided
to make the hereditary class of tax collec-
tors pay the difference. In other words, if a
poor person could not pay their full share,
the tax collector paid the rest. This concept
wiped out a whole class of moderately
wealthy people.
Another reason for the fall of Rome was
political issues. Citizens no longer dis-
played patriotism, they were indifferent
(sound familiar). Only the rich ran for
office. Only the rich could run for office. It
had become too expensive to hold office.
The third and final reason for the decline
of Rome was religion. Rome religion dete-
riorated because of conflicts between
Christianity and Pagan gods. Constantine
recognized Christianity as a religion.
Because of him Christians wouldn't suffer
persecutions for their beliefs. Rather ironi-
cally, later Christians would persecute
Pagans. Nevertheless Pagans were afraid.
They thought Roman gods would leave
because of the Christians. For example,
their environment could go into ruin. The
Pagans killed Christians. After a time, both

Folks, our government is us. It is “of,
by and for” We The People. But democra-
cy doesn’t run itself. We all need to partic-
ipate, even if the only thing you do is cast
an informed vote. And you can’t just go on
saying “No.” You can’t just turn your back
and blindly trust “the market.” Enron any-
one? Bernie Madoff anyone? When certain
elected officials proudly profess their dis-
