Mount Arlington pre-teens run monthly Lake Hopatcong Times

George and Tyler Cicero hope rain increases the water level at Lake Hopatcong soon so marinas can open for business and start buying ads again in the Lake Hopatcong Times.

The brothers, just 11 and 12 years old, already know it's advertising revenue that's needed to keep their monthly newsletter afloat. The duo launched the publication in December of 2007 and have a circulation of around 5,000.

"We haven't missed a month yet and we don't plan on missing any months," George, 12, said.

The newsletter covers the Lake Hopatcong community and focuses on environmental issues. Recently, their work got the attention of the state Department of Environmental Protection.
