Super night (and secret) for Morris students
Students had to keep Super Bowl secret for months
Excerpt:
Caught in a blur of glaring lights, exploding fireworks and the thunderous applause of more than 80,000 fans, Chris Sopko of the Roxbury High School Marching Band joined about 1,400 students rushing off the MetLife Stadium field at the climax of the Super Bowl XLVIII Halftime spectacular.
“I can’t believe what I just did!” he said to friends as they basked in the glow of a once-in-a-lifetime experience — performing with Bruno Mars and the Red Hot Chili Peppers on one of the biggest prime-time stages in the world.
“It was absolutely unbelievable,” said Sara Cummings, drum major for the Morris Knolls High School Marching Band, who took advantage of a well-timed snow day Monday to rest from what was two months of anticipation, rehearsal and the strictest of gag orders about their adventure. “Being on the field to rehearse with Bruno Mars was one thing. It was totally another to do it with all those lights all around, and the roar of the crowd. It was just amazing.”
The day after the big game, Ed Argenziano, director of orchestras, percussion studies and compilation at Morris Knolls, was freed from his gag order and spoke to the Daily Record about his role in organizing band members and other students into a talent pool to fill out the halftime show for the first Super Bowl in New Jersey.

Denville Community Gardens
New Gardener Registration for Denville Community Gardens is Saturday, March 8 9-noon at Gardner Field House.
Registration fee is $6.
Some pictures of Denville Community Gardens can be seen on the Virtual Tour of DenvilleCommunity.com
HISTORY OF THE DENVILLE COMMUNITY GARDENS
In March 1972,seventeen hardy souls pioneered the first planting of the Denville Community Gardens. The original idea was an environmental project by Lorraine Caruso who, as a member of the Environmental Commission, had the approval of the Mayor and PRIDE, as well as the Town Council.
Bob Thompson succeeded Lorraine as Administrator, followed by Dennis Mahony and in 1981, Arline Cowell, followed by Dennis Mahony again in 1996 and now Bob Grant and Jan Frazer in 2012.
These first gardeners had to lug pails of water from the river until a couple of years later when a gasoline pump was installed. Now an electric pumping system is available with a regular watering schedule making that part of garden care less strenuous. These improvements were paid for from registration fees which keep the project self-supporting.
Until recently, extra plots were always available, but in the past two years 68 new people registered for garden space. Maybe the poor economy is causing the spur in interest or perhaps people are just more concerned with knowing exactly how their food is grown and what goes on it. Every effort is made to find room for all who want to join our community.
