Passion play draws more young people in NJ: ‘God would die for us'
PATERSON, N.J. – It's the real-life re-telling of a defining day for Christians around the world. 'It just really widens the perspective,' said Maximo Gaytan, a 16-year-old sophomore at Wayne Hills High School, portraying a disciple of Christ. He's one of many younger reenactors in Paterson's live-action rendition of the Passion of Christ on Good Friday. More Local News 'It's really important that us as teenagers serve as role models and leaders in faith so we can really affect others,' said Gaytan. Leaders of the Cathedral of Saint John the Baptist say there are more young people involved in the reenactment than last year. 'Some of the teenagers who are in the Passion of the Christ, I've seen them grow here for the past three to five years,' said Eleny Rivera, the church's youth leader. Jamil Sheha, 21, a college student transferring to William Paterson University, is playing the role of the devil. 'It's a hard part to play, said Sheha. ' It makes you feel different. You being a bad person to Jesus, knowing all he did for us, he died on the cross for us, it's hard to do it, but it's a part you have to do.' 'I want the kids, the teens, to know that this is their home and they're important members of the body of Christ, the Church,' said Monsignor Geno Sylva, Rector of St. John's Cathedral. Christians observe Good Friday as the day Jesus was nailed to the cross and died three days before his resurrection on Easter Sunday. Thousands come out to the cathedral every year to witness the power, and at times, brutality. In this City, Good Friday has become more than a day to reflect, but one to experience and share. 'Today's about seeing that it's almost too good to believe – that God would die for us, who are each imperfect,' said Sylva. 'But yet it's not too good to believe. That's why we try to make it so powerful.' Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc. All rights reserved. This material may not be published, broadcast, rewritten, or redistributed.

380-million-year-old fossils dumped in landfill
Ammon News - A professor sued a New Jersey university claiming the school's negligence led 380-million-year-old fossils to end up in a landfill in Nashville, Tennessee, last year. Martin Becker, a professor of environment science and a paleontologist at William Paterson University, had planned to collaborate with a colleague on a comprehensive monograph featuring his fossil collection, according to the civil suit filed last week in Superior Court in Passaic County. Becker spent 'hundreds upon hundreds of hours' collecting the Devonian age marine invertebrate fossils from the High Mountain area of Wayne, New Jersey, the suit says. Becker needed to send the priceless collection to his colleague in Florida to move forward with the project, the lawsuit says. On June 18, Becker packaged about 200 fossils into 19 separate boxes, which was about 80% of his collection, the suit says. Each package weighed 20 to 60 pounds, it says. The fossils were taken to the university mailroom that day and given to mailroom supervisor Raymond Boone, who is also named as a defendant, according to the suit. The delivery company picked up the packages on June 18, it says. Boone told Becker that he would receive tracking and insurance information, but Becker claims he never received it, according to the lawsuit. In the following weeks, the suit says, Becker's colleague in Florida informed him that the fossils never arrived. Becker said he received tracking information on Aug. 20 after he made two phone calls to the mailroom to speak with Boone, the lawsuit says. Tracking information indicated that the packages were in Parsippany, New Jersey, awaiting delivery, it says. Becker would repeatedly contact Boone over the course of a month about the packages, the suit says, and Boone assured him on three separate occasions that he was 'working on the issue.' On Sept. 20, Boone advised Becker that the fossil packages were possibly being held at the delivery company fraud department, according to the lawsuit. Becker contacted the delivery company directly on Sept. 30 and was informed that his packages were intercepted because William Paterson University failed to pay outstanding invoices; as a result, the university's account had been canceled, the suit says. 'Our client learned that the packages were dumped at an unidentified landfill somewhere in or around Nashville, Tennessee,' the suit says. The university's account with the delivery company was canceled on April 24. The suit claims Boone had known that July 8 and alleges several other packages from other people had also been confiscated for the same reason. Becker is seeking unspecified damages for the collection, as well as medical expenses for the emotional distress the ordeal has caused him, the suit says.

380-million-year-old fossils dumped in landfill after N.J. college didn't pay UPS bill, lawsuit claims

Becker needed to send the priceless collection to his colleague in Florida to move forward with the project, the lawsuit said. On June 18, 2024, Becker packaged about 200 fossils into 19 separate boxes, which was about 80% of his collection. Each package weighed 20 to 60 pounds, the suit said. The fossils were brought to the WPU mailroom that same day and given to mailroom supervisor Raymond Boone, who is also named as a defendant in the case. The packages were picked up by the United Parcel Service on June 18. Becker was told by Boone that he would receive tracking and insurance information, but Becker claims he never received it, according to the lawsuit.

Becker is seeking unspecified damages for the irreplaceable collection, plus medical expenses for the emotional distress the ordeal has caused him, the suit said. Boone declined to comment.
