    Teachers, administrators andvarious staff members from theMontgomery Township SchoolDistrict will take off their educat-ing caps on Saturday, April 27,when they present their renditionof Once Upon A Mattress aspart of the districts annualfundraising effort, Music Fromthe Heart.

    Sponsored by the MontgomeryTownship Education Associationin conjunction with the HighSchool Band Parents Association,Music From the Heart is a one-of-a-kind production, since MTSD isthe only school district in NewJersey to put on a performancelike this, according to Diana Loia-cono, co-producer and third-gradeteacher at Village ElementarySchool.

    Everything is done on a volun-teer basis, and many people dedi-cated hours of time and energyinto this labor of love, she said.

    Music From the Heart began 13years ago to showcase talent fromthe district and raise money tohelp support local band scholar-ships, according to MargaretWeinberger, robotics teacher atMontgomery UMS and this yearsdirector.

    The idea began with a formerdistrict band teacher, Pete Vala,

    in our opinion

    Freedom isnt free, especially in N.J.Study ranks New Jersey 48th on freedom list

    Skillman resident Santi Buscemi, pro-fessor of English at Middlesex County Col-lege, has translated a second book by LuigiCapuana, The Marquis of Roccaverdina.

    In my view it is his masterpiece, Busce-mi said. It is the story of a wealthy mar-quis in Sicily in the late 19th century. He hasan affair with a servant woman with whomhe is madly in love, but his family convinceshim that he cannot marry her because oftheir class differences. He comes up with anidea to have the foreman of his estate marryher, but they have to live together as brotherand sister not as husband and wife. This

    does not turn out well.Indeed. Marchese suspects that the fore-

    man does not live up to the agreement, sohe kills the man.

    These events precede the novel, whichexposes the Marquis jealousy and guilt.

    He now lives with remorse and pain,Buscemi said. It is an incredible work,lyrical, involving and introspective.

    This is the second book of Capuana thatBuscemi has translated. The first wasCera una volta, a collection of fairy talesunder the English title Sicilian Tales.Dante University Press published both.

    Capuana is the father of Italian natu-ralism, even though he disavowed that titleas he got older, Buscemi said. Naturalistsbelieve we have little free will; that outsideforces such as biology, heredity, economics,politics and social standing control our be-

    havior. In some ways this book relates tothat. But, it also reflects Capuanas beliefin human psychology as a motivating fac-tor, and he does a masterful job of depict-ing the agony of a human soul.

    Buscemi sent his first book to U.S.

    Supreme Court Justice Antonin Scalia,who replied that his father had done signif-icant research on Capuana, and he invitedBuscemi and his wife Elaine to visit him atthe court. The trip was on March 14.

    He was so gracious and so kind to us,Buscemi said. He was unbelievably ami-able. It was like sitting with your neighborand having a cup of coffee. He had sent me acopy of his fathers dissertation and the firstthing he asked was Did it help? I told him itdid, very much. His father had a dry sense ofhumor and poked fun at Capuana and otherauthors of his era. Justice Scalia told me

    Youd have loved to meet my father.At one point, he turned to Elaine and

    said, What do you think about the newpope? and we talked a little bit about poli-tics. It was a great visit. He was veryfriendly and warm, he said.

    Skillman resident, professor translates book by Capuana

    Heres something that should

    shock absolutely no one: New

    Jersey is one of the most

    taxed, restricted and regulated states

    in the nation.

    Stop the presses, as they say.

    An annual study published by the

    Mercatus Center at George Mason Uni-

    versity ranked New Jersey 48th out of50 in terms of freedoms for residents.

    Dragging the Garden State down in the

    rankings are its ultra-tight gun control

    laws, its restrictive marijuana laws

    and abysmal property rights protec-

    tions, in addition to the obvious high

    taxes, the report says.

    Discouraging is the fact that the re-

    port says that the states significantdebt, and not government spending, is

    what fuels the high taxes.

    New Jersey is average in govern-

    ment spending, while it has among the

    highest taxes in the country, said

    Jason Sorens, a co-author of the re-

    port.The question, of course, is whether

    any of this really matters. Certainly,

    any person would want to reside in a

    state that doesnt over-impose on his or

    her basic freedoms, and only the in-

    sane enjoy paying high taxes.

    But while it might sound negative,

    there are positives to ranking 48th on

    this list.Is it bad that New Jersey has tight

    gun control laws?

    Is it bad that New Jersey is conser-

    vative when it comes to marijuana

    laws?

    Is it bad that New Jersey limits what

    the report calls travel freedoms,

    through restrictive seat belt laws, mo-

    torcycle and bicycle helmet require-

    ments, and sobriety checkpoints?

    We dont think so.

    The Mercatus Center report suggest-

    ed that New Jersey could improve its

    ranking by slashing property taxes,ending rent control and cutting spend-

    ing on libraries, santitation, sewage

    and employee retirement benefits.

    Some of those suggestions are well

    worth following, especially the proper-

    ty tax catastrophe.

    But liberalizing seat belt and cell

    phone-while-driving laws? We just

    dont agree.If we dont climb higher on this list,

    and either lose current residents or

    dont gain new ones because of it, so be

    it. It isnt worth compromising safety

    to look better to others.

    Can anything be done?

    Can anything be done to make NewJersey more free? Does it even matterthat we are considered free for our resi-dents? Let us know your thoughtsthrough a letter to the editor.

    she said. He had the idea ofshowcasing the musical talent ofdistrict staff. Mr. Vala works withthe current band teacher, Mr. Ka-halehoe, and organizes a group ofcurrent students who comprisethe pit band, which provides themusic for the performance eachyear.

    Weinberger said the district re-ceives a grant from the New Jer-

    sey Education Association thatcovers production costs, so allproceeds from the ticket sales godirectly to help fund the scholar-ships, which are given to quali-fied MHS seniors.

    This year, the MTEA will beawarding $12,000 in scholarshipsto graduating seniors, she said.As of this June, we will haveawarded over $130,000 in scholar-ships since Music From the Heartbegan.

    This years production of

    Once Upon A Mattress involves45 people, including teachers, sec-retaries, clerical staff, adminis-trative assistants and education

    support professionals.Past years performances in-

    clude classics such as Bye ByeBirdie, Fiddler on the Roof

    and Grease. Weinberger ex-plained how the district alwayslooks for a family-friendly typeof play that incorporates a lot ofsinging, dancing and comedy,which is what drew her to OnceUpon A Mattress.

    We have some character-typeactors who are exceptional andcan sing and dance, and this pro-duction has numbers where theirtalents can shine, she said.

    Kelly Vucin, a third-grade

    teacher at Village ElementarySchool, is portraying PrincessWinnifred, one of the lead charac-ters. She has been participatingin Music From the Heart for thelast six years, every year sinceshes been teaching in Mont-gomery.

    I did musical theater when Iwas in grade school, so it wasgreat for me to be able to meld mytwo loves of musical theater andteaching, she said. When I wasin ninth grade, I did the same

    exact play and I was the queen. Igot really excited about this showbecause I did it before and I re-member it being so much fun.

    Vucin also played the lead inCinderella two years ago andexplained how she loves every-thing about the event.

    I love the comradery that I feelwith my coworkers, where its notnecessarily with academics, butwith setting an example for ourkids showing them what its liketo go the extra mile, she said.Quite a few of my former stu-dents have gone on to be involvedwith theater not that Im solelyresponsible but, in some smallway, if I could inspire some futuremusicians and performers, its re-ally wonderful to be able to. The

    icing on the cake is the fact thatits community outreach.Sue Niedt, a teacher at Orchard

    Hill Elementary School, has cho-reographed Music From theHeart for the last nine years.

    Volunteering is an importantaspect of community building,she said. I love that, in thecourse of working toward a com-mon goal, in this case, raisingscholarship money, we are build-ing new relationships, and quitehonestly, having a lot of fun. I do

    bring a lot of experience to thetable, and since I am no longer ac-

    Ginny Lucas, a fourth-gradeteacher at Village ElementarySchool and this years costumedesigner, has worn almost all hatsfor Music From the Heart per-formances and decided to take abreak from directing this year tofocus on the costumes.

    You volunteer and see wherethe need is, she said. Ive direct-ed the past couple of years and Ifelt like I had too many family ob-ligations this year, so Mrs. Wein-berger was happy to take over.

    she said. And I think the kidslove seeing the staff members on

    stage that they know in a wholedifferent role, totally out of theirnormal characters.

    To keep the students involved,the district held a poster contestfor the show, with the first-prizewinner being displayed in schoolsthroughout the district and sec-ond prize being featured in theshows program.

    No matter what, all entriesare displayed at MHS auditori-um, which makes them [students]

    feel like they're part of it, Vucinsaid.Music From the Heart is a com-

    munity effort, which is why thedistrict ultimately decided to do-nate the money that is raised tosenior scholarships, opposed to alocal organization or non-profit,Weinberger said.

    As educators, we touch the fu-ture every day in our work with

    children, she said. We beganawarding scholarships in 1976,long before Music from the Heartbegan, to continue to help our stu-

    dents achieve their dreams. It is away for us to give to our studentswho might have some financial orpersonal hardship.

    And since its her first year di-recting, Weinberger has foundthat this production really doeshighlight the districts effort tostay involved with the communi-ty, which is something she partic-ularly admires about the show.

    It is enlightening and enjoy-able to work with people who take

    this mission seriously and wantto do a great job presenting theplay to the community, she said.It is really a fun endeavor, and Iam happy to have the opportunityto bring some joy and happinessto all the people in Montgomery.

    Once Upon A Mattress willtake place on Saturday, April 27,at MHS PAC. For more informa-tion, go to mtsd.k12.nj.us.
