Zero percent. No chance. Nada. According to northjersey.com, the Pascack Valley Indians didn’t have a shot at winning the New Jersey Super Football Conference Patriot Gold division. Until they did. The Indians clinched the Patriot Gold league championship at home on Friday night with a nail-biting 20-19 win over River Dell. Had the Golden Hawks pulled out the victory, they would have been crowned league champions instead. “[Being given a zero percent chance to win the league]...

PV football coach Len Cusumano preaches about going “1-0 every week,” and preparing the same way for every game. In Friday night’s game against River Dell, however, going 1-0 will not be the only prize for the winner.

Although the Scarlets received the opening kickoff, it was the Indians who scored on the first offensive...

Leading up to their senior year, students look forward to gaining the privilege to leave the building during lunch and park in the Pascack Valley parking lot.  This year, this opportunity was not obtained by around 70 seniors, according to Pascack Valley Assistant Principal John Puccio, who either had 20 combined absences and tardies, received more than one D letter grade, or were penalized for...

A giant neon sign reading “Betelgeuse Betelgeuse” and a Tim Burton-esque proscenium capped off with purple and pink lights swirling around the theatre? Add a little “Beetlejuice! Beetlejuice! Beetlejuice!” and you are in for the fright of your life. Recently, I saw the Broadway Musical “Beetlejuice: The Musical, The Musical, The Musical (which for the sake of the article, will just be...

(Editor’s note: The opinions expressed in this article are not necessarily those of The Smoke Signal or its staff.) I watched as the buildings and restaurants quickly turned into rolling plains and cornfields on the bus drive from the hotel in Rapid City to the Cheyenne River Sioux Reservation for three hours.
