Filling Shoeboxes of Hope
by Elsie Walker s many have learned over the last few weeks, when disaster comes, you can suddenly find yourself in need of the essentials. That disaster could be weatherrelated, or the result of the economy, loss of a job and income. Something as simple as shoeboxes of nonperishable foods, each with enough to feed one person for one day, can mean so much. Fifty-three such boxes were assembled last month at the Stanhope United Methodist. They were donated to an on-going ministry at the Vienna United Methodist Church, one that helps in a variety of disasters. About 15 years ago, when there was a major flood along Route. 46 and the Delaware River closed the road, and the Pequest River flooded the area from Blairstown to the Delaware Water Gap. Many families were displaced for a number of days. The Vienna Church responded by placing nonperishable items [in shoeboxes] and bringing them to homes, hotels and high school gyms, wherever people were being housed. We also supplied them to the workers who were laboring around the clock to help the victims of the flood and restoring power. When the Red Cross saw the boxes, they asked if we might be willing to continue the project after the flood to help other people with many

other problems. We agreed to do so and began providing 50 boxes a month to the Red Cross , said Rev. Jim Craig, pastor of Vienna United Methodist Church. Craig explained that the need didnt end there. Easter Seal and local Social Services agencies heard about the project and asked
if the Vienna church could supply them with shoeboxes as well. The church gets help from groups that donate completed boxes to the cause. Rev. Tom Kinter, pastor of the Stanhope United Methodist Church noted, Many folks have a desire to help. Often their schedule
or lack of knowledge of how or where to help holds them back. The shoebox ministry is a great way to get them involved. When they shop for themselves, they simply pick up something extra for the shoebox. Sadly, the needs the continued on page 4

continued from front page shoeboxes meet are not just when natural disaster strikes, but everyday needs. This is the result of a new disaster, economic woes. Because of demand we have begun making breakfast [shoeboxes] which are going to schools to provide breakfast for our young people who do not get breakfast at home, Craig explained. Many of these children also need meals on the weekend. When school is not in session, they may not get lunch. Food shoeboxes are given for them to take home.

Page 4, November 2012, Tell Them You Saw It In The Musconetcong News To Kinter, this made his churchs Sunday School participation in the recent food shoebox drive even more significant. The children of the Sunday School took the donations received and packed them into the boxes. The children need to know that there are ways they can help those in need. I believe that children know that some of their friends, classmates don't have enough food and miss meals. We find that the children are eager to help out. They love to pack the shoeboxes, he said.

I have a passion for firearms and sport shooting. I live in an area of NJ where sport shooting and hunting is very popular, but Im really looking to build a community where anyone who has an interest in firearms for hunting, personal protection, collecting or sport shooting can come to share their stories, learn about gun safety, find the newest products, etc. According to a recent Gallup Poll, 1 in 4 women own a firearm and we want our store to be the place women can come and feel comfortable shopping, asking questions and educating themselves in the same way men do. I also want to help and encourage responsible individuals to assert their 2nd Amendment Right. Having proudly served in the US Army, I have had the opportunity to see firsthand what happens when peoples unalienable rights are stripped from them. Firearms are quickly becoming mainstream. The National Shooting Sports Foundation estimates the industry is responsible for approximately 180,000 jobs and has impact on the U.S. economy of $28 billion. While most other retail businesses have experienced steady declines, gun sales have been increasing for the past 10 years, according to the FBIs National Instant Criminal Background Check System (NICS). From 2001 to 2011, NICS has reported a 52% increase in firearm sales in the state of New Jersey, on par with the national increase.

Don Jose Mexican Restaurant (124 US 46) joined the Netcong dining scene in 2011, adding a new dimension to local favorites like Roses Place (4 Allen Street), Johnny Jrs (4 Main Street), Marys Pizza (70 Main Street) and Yang Tse Kitchen (69 Main Street). And the choices continue to grow, with the much anticipated Fanuccis Caf & Gelato Bar (134 Ledgewood Avenue) expected to open in November. Equally important, according to NCP Executive Director Gina Thomas, is the growing number of food specialty stores that are

Recently, St. Michael School held a Car Raffle fund raiser for scholarships. The Saint Michael School families were asked to sell raffle tickets for a 2012 Chrysler 200 car at a value of over $18,000. For just $75.00 a ticket this new economical car is an amazing deal! With only a maximum of 500 tickets to be sold, each buyer had a incredible odds to win a brand new car. It took a consorted effort of all school families to sell their allotted tickets. Mrs. Daniela Sacco of Hopatcong took home a new IPAD for selling the most tickets! It seems that many times this type of raffle is awarded to someone kind enough to support our efforts, but yet, still someone not known by many school families. This year, our car raffle was awarded to a St. Michael School family that has given many hours of time, talent and treasure to our school! The Formica Family is the winner of our car raffle! We are fortunate to have the Formica children in our classrooms and likewise lucky to have their parents involved in our school activities!

Bicycle wheels were checked and pumped to appropriate pressure all by parent volunteers. Every childs helmet was checked for safety issues as well, by volunteers from the New Jersey Safe Kids organization. Students who attended with old or damaged helmets and those with no helmet at all received a brand new one compliments of New Jersey Safe Kids. Other FREE goodies for the children included wrist bands, snacks, and assorted drinks all compliments of TransOptions and the Safe Routes to School Resource Center of New Jersey.

n October 5th the Netcong Elementary School held a bicycle rodeo from the end of the school day, 2:50pm until 6:00 PM. Participation was open to all grades in the K-8 school. This event, a part of Netcongs ongoing efforts to increase the safety of their children, was coordinated by Leigh Ann Von Hagen, Senior Research Specialist of the Alan M. Voorhees Transportation Center/ New Jersey Safe Routes to School Resource Center. Bicycle Safety Specialist Bill Feeney, employed by TransOptions of Cedar Knolls, outlined two expert courses on the property of the school for the students of Netcong Elementary.

ost New Jersey families had it pretty rough in the aftermath of Hurricane Sandy. Many had to endure massive power outages, gas shortages, and the lack of heat, running water and warm meals. Difficult times such as this often bring out the best or the worst in people. At St. Michaels School in Netcong, it brought out the best! When school reopened the week after the storm, many families were still without power. Some had temporarily relocated to nearby hotels. Others were making due at home.
The Multiplication of the Loaves and the Fishes

The St. Michaels community pulled together, demonstrating how much people care for one another by living in the spirit of Jesus. Through the generosity of two local restaurants and the helping hands of volunteers the school served a hot lunch to students and a dinner meal to school and church families this week. One family said, We now have no doubt that St. Michaels School is definitely the right place for our family! The school community has fed hundreds of people from all walks of life during this challenging week. The

meals were donated by Simply Gourmet in Randolph and the Plaza Restaurant in Newton. The DeSarios, who own the Plaza Restaurant and are the parents of two St. Michaels students, said they are happy to help. They noted, If we are ever in need, we know we can count on our St. Michaels family to help us! When the school community first set out to help the families, some wondered where they would get enough food to feed everyone. School administrative assistant Terry Sydrock said, It was like the parable of the five loaves of bread and two fishes. When we told people there was a need, the response was overwhelming. We ended up with an abundance of food. But the food wasnt the only thing the families received at the meals. What stood out the most was the generosity of each and every family. Families provided encouragement, laughter and kindness for one another as they enjoyed the delicious meals. Many who were fortunate to have power displayed further kindness and humanity by offering those in need warm showers, laundry service, warm homes, generators and a listening ear. Principal Ernest Jackson, who is a U.S. Army veteran, said he learned a lesson years ago from his former military commander General Russell Honore that people need to take care of their own back-yard before they can successfully help people in other back-yards. At the St. Michael School, Terry Sydrock, teacher Diana Kuncken, several other teachers and staff members worked tirelessly to take care of the families in their back yard by helping to helping the school and church community to feel safe, healthy and warm during this trying time.

Since 1971 Stanhope Volunteer Fire Department has been coming to Our Savior Nursery School. This year Firemen Ray and Mike talked with the children about fire safety, having a safe place to meet with their families in case of a fire in their home, as well as practicing home fire drills. They showed the children what they would look like if they came to their home for a fire, so the children would not be afraid of the fire gear. Thank you Stanhope Fire Department for taking the time to share Fire Safety with the children at Our Savior Nursery School.

Messiah was composed by George Fredrick Handel in the 1700s. The work tells the story of Christ from birth to death. Probably, the most recognized piece of the work is the Hallelujah chorus, which will be included in the Dover performance. Featured in the program are soprano Katherine deKonick of Hopatcong, alto Kathleen Meredith of Andover, tenor John Meredith of Andover, and bass Gregory Vionier of Rockaway The director is Nancy James, who is the Director of Music and organist at Grace United Methodist Church in Dover. There are 40 people in the chorus. Henry Repp, of Netcong, is the organist for the current performance. He noted that performing Messiah is a tradition that goes back decades at the church, although there have been some gaps between performances. He believes they started in 1932. He
was the organist for the fiftieth anniversary performance. After that, there were various choir directors and organists and some years it fell by the wayside. However, now it is back. Repp, who will be playing the churchs Austin pipe organ, is the organist/choir director at First United Methodist Church in Newton. Repps impressive background includes studying with Robert MacDonald at the Riverside Church in New York City and the Cathedral Basilica of the Sacred Heart in Newark, New Jersey. He has been accompanist for the Sussex County Oratorio Society, the Livingston Festival Choir Concerts, and the Livingston Broadway Show Tunes Revue. In addition, he has performed numerous organ concerts on a variety of organs including those at St. Thomas Church in Manhattan and the Cathedral of the Sacred Heart in Newark. He has been affiliated with the New Peapack Players, was the founder of the Peapack Reformed Church Community Choir, is accompanist for the Pike County Choral Society Reflecting on the return of Messiah, Repp shared that he is happy to be playing Messiah again and hopes that this tradition will continue as an annual event.

Mitt Romney did, however, win the Confederacy. And what does that tell us? Obamas reelection means weve all won if for no other reason than because, if Romney had won, most of us would have lost. Yes, Romney took different positions at different times on a whole host of issues so that it became downright impossible to know what exactly, if anything, he truly believed about anything. That constant equivocation, the unrelenting prevarication, came to define Romney. Even so, we can draw some conclusions. Let alone that Romney and the Republicans should be ashamed of how their side ran their campaign (one of the most dishonest campaigns in my lifetime), it is clear that the Republicans offered us a return to their childlike belief that all government is bad and only private enterprise, unfettered, laissez-faire private enterprise, is good. Look, were all capitalists but grownups understand that, as history has shown, we need clear, strong, well policed and enforced government rules that provide a fair playing field for everyone, where nobody gets an unfair advantage, nobody is defrauded, and we protect our vital country, including our air, our water, our lands, our food, and our health. Romney pushed on the economy. Yes, were still struggling. But remember, the Great Recession was not caused by regular middle class working folks. This is not a classic business cycle recession. It was the result of unfettered financial institutions running amok. They were allowed to do so with the blessing and downright encouragement of the Republicans hackneyed nostrums about the inherent goodness and selfcorrecting nature of private enterprise. If Romney had been elected, we would be right back there, giving a free hand to job continued on next page
The Sun Will Come Out Tomorrow
By Harlin Parker he presidential election is over. We all won. Well, at least most of us won. Whether youre Democrat, Republican, unaffiliated, even unregistered to vote, we Americans won with President Obamas reelection. Only some truly vile characters, like the Koch brothers, Carl Rove, and even Grover Norquist, lost. Although I fear theyve only lost a battle as they and their jolly band of Tea Partiers have already made clear that they will continue their war against the rest of us. Yet even with Obamas win, this was not a great election. You know, we can have a discussion of the clearly dysfunctional primary system, where small, unrepresentative states like Iowa and New Hampshire have laid claim to some kind of entitlement to always be the starting points. We can have a discussion about how, while it is true that the USA is a republic comprised of sovereign (such as they are) states, and thus the Electoral College is allowed to dictate the winner of presidential elections, damn the popular vote total. We might even have a discussion about how each state, oftentimes how each county in each state, gets to direct how elections are conducted, where people can vote, how they vote, when they vote, and how even today (or maybe especially today) so many states just cant seem to do this function, this most basic and profoundly important function, competently. But to have a discussion on any of those topics would be downright depressing, given the level of ineptitude and dysfunctionality that exists today. And I dont want to be depressed. Instead lets talk about some good news. President Obama won reelection, both in the Electoral College, very decisively, and in the popular vote, quite convincingly. The popular vote totals do show, though, how polarized the American electorate has
Congratulations to the Winning Party
By Luigi Luciano he election is over. I am not a sore loser by any means. The voters cast votes and re-elected Obama. We now have to move on and live with the consequences of the voters actions. I must only assume that because he got in that the economy is in good shape and we will see a great improvement going forward. Voters felt we have been going in the right direction. With that said, then we should not hear from a single person who voted for Obama that things are not good. If they lose their job and can't find one then oh well you voted for the direction we have been going in. I do not mean that sarcastically but with sincerity that these people thought we are going in the right direction and voted for no change. When the Military gets cut those Military states like Virginia lose jobs that's OK, this was the right course you wanted to continue on. When the true unemployment numbers come out around 9% or more that's OK as well. Stay the course things will get
better and the people that are out of work that voted for him will understand things take time. Remember he inherited such a mess it takes time. When the Bush tax cuts expire and the average middle class family pays around $2500.00 per year or more extra in taxes,if you voted for him that's ok because you are among the wealthy and can afford to pay more. Last when your health insurance eventually is run by the government and you need care and are rejected for your age that's ok too if voted for Obama, you did your job you are just to old to be worth spending money on. It will also be better for the country because Medicare and Social Security will be going bankrupt soon and if more people can't collect it leaves more for the young. I look forward to the huge inauguration event that the Obama's will throw and should with the economy recovering and things getting better we should all celebrate continued on next page

continued from previous page creators. If I have one wish this post election season, it is to see that ridiculous term, job creators, put out to pasture. First, all wealthy people, most wealthy people, are not creating any jobs, any more than you or I. Businesses do not hire people based upon their income taxes. Business 101: companies come into existence and expand to provide a service or product in order to meet a DEMAND for that service or product. No demand, no service or product. Even Henry Ford famously understood this when he decided to pay his factory workers much higher than prevailing wages so that those workers might have enough money in order to buy Ford cars. But todays Republicans, no matter how many times their supply side and trickle down beliefs are shown to be fantasy, just keep on pushing the same old same old. The share of both wealth and current income for Americas middle class has taken a beating over the past several decades. Without wealth, without sufficient income, how can there be sufficient demand? There are only so many wealthy people. They can only demand so many cars, so many houses, so much food. We need a prosperous middle class much more than we need a prosperous elite class. But, of course, Republicans are about more than just their disproven economic ideas. Regrettably, todays Republicans are
The Sun Will Come Out Tomorrow...
Tell Them You Saw It In The Musconetcong News, November 2012, Page 23 a true believer. Republicans claim that the Democrats somehow stole the election, rigged the results by, among other things (and I had to laugh out loud about this) suppressing the vote. The only voter suppression efforts that took place in this country were all the voter identification laws pushed in several states by Republicans. We could go on, as there are any number of issues to discuss. Lets end with one thought: Dont panic. Dont worry. Even continued from previous page if you didnt vote for Obama, I promise you the sun will come out tomorrow. This is a great country filled with capable, smart, driven people. This countrys best days are still ahead of it. But if you truly believe this country is in an inevitable, irreversible decline, move. Go. Why would you want to stay? Adios. We wont miss you. The rest of us have work to do. Send comments to harlin@harlinparker.org
little more than a bunch of very angry, older white people and religious zealots who, to borrow Romneys phrase, view themselves as victims. Listen to them. They profess themselves to be the only true patriots. They view themselves as the only people who work, who produce. They are the makers. The rest of us are the takers. Facts of course, as Romneys own campaign made clear, are irrelevant. And these folks clearly have a perverse interest in other peoples sex lives and an unhealthy, un-American, desire to dictate to others, especially women, what they can and cannot do with their own bodies. You know, this is America. Religion is fine for those who believe and desire to follow it in their own lives. Just dont force your religious beliefs on the rest of us. Yet today, Republicans are gripped by religious zealots who insist on using the power of government to force everyone to adhere to their narrow religious doctrines. And the party is overwhelmingly white. Even with outliers like Governor Bobby Jindal and Governor Nikki Haley, the Republican party tent is shrinking into electoral irrelevancy. For those of us who want real choices, who want real, honest, policy debate, this is not good. Republican denial and self-proclaimed virtue continue, alas. Tea Partiers are still here (even Star Ledger conservative columnist Paul Mulshine has had it with them). They claim Romney lost because he wasnt
Congratulations to the Winning Party...

this great event. People out of work and being thrown out of their homes who voted for him should be thrilled by this. He deserves to have a huge party even though you cant afford to eat. If your luck goes the right way you can be added to the food stamp program and you too can now throw a party. Life is good for Obama, I look forward to more weekly parties at the white house, seeing his family on vacation after vacation and watching him tee off on that 18th hole wishing I can play golf as good as he does. Life is good. I am happy that I was wrong thinking that we were going in the wrong direction and glad the voters of Obama opened my eyes to how great things are and will be. So congratulations to all those that voted for Obama you all appreciated the most negative campaign in the history of the country, you believed everything the Obama camp put out without wasting time following up to see what was really true. In the end you will get exactly what you deserve and the people that did not vote for him will as well. So I thank you all who voted for Obama as you made me realize the errors of my way. I knew I spent too much time reading and researching the facts. Obama is always right!!! Herbert Hoover said a chicken in every pot, the theme here was Kool Aide for everyone. Comments?

uring the hectic holidays, the last thing you want is to be stuck in the kitchen. When youre planning holiday menus, be sure to plan some make-ahead dishes that you can freeze or refrigerate. That way, all you have to do is pop them in the oven and you have more time to enjoy the holiday fun. Here are some easy make-ahead ideas: Breakfast or Brunch Muffins and quick breads, such as banana bread or pumpkin bread, can be made up to one month ahead of time, wrapped in foil, then placed in a freezer bag. To thaw, set them out overnight. Side Dishes Sides like stuffing and cranberry sauce can be made several days in advance and stored in the refrigerator. Another classic holiday side dish that you can make ahead is Cheesy Potato Casserole. Using Ore-Ida Country Style Hash Browns cuts down on prep time, so you can have the casserole ready to bake in about 10 minutes. Cover with foil and keep refrigerated until the big day, then bake for the perfect side dish for either brunch or dinner. Desserts Cheesecakes, cookies and cakes can all be made in advance. Freeze these kinds of desserts without garnishes or toppings, then add after thawing. Wrap them in a double layer of plastic wrap, then aluminum foil or a

freezer bag. You can also freeze cookie dough in individual balls or slice-and-bake logs. You can find more easy recipes for your holiday entertaining at www.oreida.com/recipes. Cheesy Potato Casserole Prep Time: 10 minutes Cook Time: 50 minutes Total Time: 60 minutes Makes 8 servings 1 can cream of chicken soup 2 cups sour cream 1/2 teaspoon salt 1/4 teaspoon black pepper, ground 2 cups cheddar cheese, shredded 1/3 cup green onions, sliced 1 bag Ore-Ida Country Style Hash Browns, thawed 2 cups corn flakes, crushed 1/4 cup butter, melted Preheat oven to 350F. Coat 13 x 9 baking dish with nonstick cooking spray. In large bowl, whisk together soup, sour cream, salt and pepper. Stir in cheese, onion and hash browns until well mixed. Spoon evenly into baking dish.
In a medium bowl, mix together cereal and butter. Sprinkle evenly on top of hash brown mixture. Bake uncovered for about 50 minutes, or until hot and bubbly. Allow to rest for 5 minutes before serving. Garnish with additional sliced green onion if desired. Tip: If desired, substitute Ore-Ida Country Style Hash Browns with Ore-Ida Southern Style Hash Browns or Potatoes OBrien. If desired, substitute condensed cream of chicken soup with condensed cream of turkey soup.

he holidays are the ideal time to indulge in great food, delicious wine and festive meals with family and friends. Putting great food on the table is a big part of the fun, but finding affordable, quality wines to go with the food is where things get tricky. Here are a few easy tips to help you pick the perfect wine this holiday season: Think inside the box Black Box Wines are great for entertaining: each box holds the equivalent of four 750ml bottles of wine and stays fresh for up to four weeks once opened. Try Black Box Wines Merlot or Chardonnay for delicious, easy drinking wines to have on hand throughout the holidays, or to serve when unexpected guests surprise you. Light with light, heavy with heavy Serve light foods with light wines and heavy foods with heavy wines. If you pair light food with heavy wine, or vice versa, the combination won't taste bad, it may just seem out of balance. Never cook with a wine you wouldnt drink When you are cooking with wine, use a wine you know you enjoy drinking. If a recipe calls for wine, serve the same wine used in the recipe alongside the finished dish to enhance the flavors. This Herb-Roasted Pork Loin with Red Onion
Perfect Sips for the Season

Marmalade is a perfect example and is great for holiday entertaining. For more information, visit www.blackboxwines.com. Herb-Roasted Pork Loin with Red Onion Marmalade Pairing: Black Box Merlot Serves: 10 to12 Pork: 1 tablespoon minced fresh rosemary 1 tablespoon minced fresh thyme 2 teaspoons kosher salt 1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper 2 tablespoons whole grain mustard 1 3-pound pork loin Marmalade: 3 tablespoons butter 2 red onions, halved and thinly sliced (about 4 cups total) 3/4 cup Black Box Merlot 1 1/2 teaspoons reserved pork rub (see recipe instructions) Kosher salt and ground black pepper, to taste Preheat oven to 450F. In small bowl, mix rosemary, thyme, salt, pepper and mustard together until it forms a paste. Reserve 1 1/2 tea-
spoons for onion marmalade. Place pork on a rack set on top of a sheet pan. Rub herb and mustard paste over entire roast. Place in the oven and cook for 15 minutes. Turn oven down to 350F, and cook until a thermometer inserted into center of roast reads at least 145F. It should take about 20 minutes per pound, or an hour total. Remove from oven and let rest for at least 15 minutes. While roast is cooking, make marmalade. Melt two tablespoons butter in large saut pan over medium heat until it begins to foam. Add onions and stir to coat. Lower heat and saut, stirring occasionally, until onions are completely softened and starting to caramelize, about 30 minutes. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Add wine, and let cook until liquid has mostly evaporated, another 5 to 10 minutes. Stir in reserved mustard paste and remaining tablespoon butter, and season to taste if necessary. Slice pork and serve hot with onion marmalade.

St Michael School Have A few Good Chefs of Their Own!
ove over Food Network! St. Michael School can now claim they too have a few good chefs of their own! Thanks to Miss Cianfaglione, our first grade teacher and cooking club instructor. Miss Cianfaglione grew up in a home where cooking meals was more of a passion than a necessity. She wanted to share this enthusiasm of cooking with the students at
St. Michael School so she started a cooking club. Miss C enjoyed introducing different spices and different tastes for the children to try. For the past few weeks, 15 students met twice a week to make a variety of foods that included garlic bread, pizza, baked brie with apricots, Oreo truffles and many more delicacies!

For the final class the students made a baked Ziti dinner with garlic bread, salad and chocolate covered strawberries and apples for dessert. 35 honored guests including Fr. Nick, Mr. Jackson, a few Knights of Columbus, family members and friends enjoyed the delicious dinner that was made with not only their hands, but their hearts as well! School Principal Ernest Jackson complimented Cooking Club leader and instructor Jennifer Cianfaglione for her dedication to the school and her hard work in developing a wonderful school program.
