A Little Competition With Holiday Spirit
By Vanessa Frith amilies who choose to decorate their Netcong homes for the holiday season may have received a little extra holiday cheer by winning a prize for their ability to deck the halls. The Netcong Borough Recreation Commission has facilitated the yearly Holiday House Contest for over ten years, each year awarding first, second, and third prizes to the best-decorated homes in the town. All residents who choose to decorate their property are automatically entered into the contest. Committee members drive around town in advance of the judging, which take place on a night in mid December, and select houses that they believe are worthy candidates for the award. Decorations are judged on many levels and merely hav-
ing a multitude of lights does not guarantee a first place spot. As for criteria, we simply seek homes that stand out, and that each level of a home has some type of decoration, said Sharon Still, the president of Netcong Recreation. The actual display is important as it must be neatly presented. We have selected homes simple in design but with a classy touch, but then also homes which have had their entire property decorated, including trees and fencing. According to Still, this years winners had a larger portion of their property decorated than past winners and were more detailed oriented. The 2012 first place winner featured a nativity scene, stacks of holiday gifts, and lights festooning every available tree and bush- even the pool. Each winner is also given a yard sign that depicts the year as well as what place they won, said Stills. While the monetary award of a gift card may last only a while, the placard allows families to display their award every holiday season. However, newcomers to the contest shouldnt be discouraged by this years champions. Each winning contestant cannot receive a prize for another three years, giving all residents a chance to show off their decorating prowess. If you cant wait until next year to display your holiday cheer, or spooky is more your style, than be sure not to forget about the Recreation Commissions Halloween Decorating Contest in the fall.

Arts and Heritage Council Holds Annual Meeting
Mardi Gras Breakfast for Sandy Relief

"Many of us in the Northern New Jersey area were affected or severely inconvenienced by the devastation caused by Hurricane Sandy. The Stanhope United Methodist Men decided we wanted to do something to help with the relief efforts. We thought our Mardi Gras Jazz Pancake Breakfast and Worship Service with Jazz Music might be a great way to bring our local church and our community together as we raise funds to benefit our neighbors in our state who suffered even greater devastation," said Scott Lefurge of Andover, president of the churchs United Methodist Mens group. A saxophonist, Lefurge and guests will be performing a variety of Jazz pieces during the breakfast and worship service. The Mardi Gras theme goes with the tradition of feasting for the three days before the start of Lent which, in the Christian faith, is a time of fasting or giving up something.
Tell Them You Saw It In The Musconetcong News, January 2013, Page 7 In this case, those that come to the breakfast will not only enjoy good food and music, but by their donations, will be helping fellow New Jerseyans who are literally rebuilding their lives. Rev. Tom Kinter, pastor of the church, talked about the relief effort organized by the Greater New Jersey Annual Conference of the United Methodist Church. Our goal is to rebuild 300 houses of the elderly and low income [residents], he said. Kinter noted conference disaster relief teams went immediately into action accessing the need . Among those homes and buildings damaged were several United Methodist churches and parsonages. Teams will work in the clean-up process and rebuilding. Kinter said that conference anticipates 45,000 United Methodist volunteers from New Jersey and across the nation helping in the [recovery] effort over a three-year period. We know this will be a long-tern project, he said.
by Elsie Walker n Sunday, February 10th, the sound of Jazz music and the smell of pancakes will fill the air at the Stanhope United Methodist Church, #2 Route 183 in Netcong. Though its Mardi Gras Breakfast will certainly be upbeat, the cause behind it is a serious one. The breakfast is being held to raise funds for Hurricane Sandy Relief Efforts. There will be two breakfast servings that day: 8:00am 9:30:am and 10:30am 11:30am in the churchs Fellowship Hall. During the breakfast, there will be live and recorded Jazz music. The churchs 9:30am worship service will also feature Jazz music and all are welcomed to attend. A freewill donation will be taken for the breakfast. The churchs United Methodist Mens group is supplying the items for the breakfast so that 100% of the money raised will go to Sandy Relief.

by Elsie Walker here was a time before machines, when all lace was made by hand. The romantic addition to a wedding dress, the frilly accent to a collar or handkerchief or even jewelry, handmade lace was an art. A day to demonstrate that lost art and to pass it on, thats what you might say Lace Day is all about. Held on February 2nd and 3rd (snow date February 9th) at the meeting hall in Olde Lafayette Village, Lafayette, the event is sponsored by the Lost Art Lacers, a group dedicated to the art of making lace. Among those lacers demonstrating the art will be award-winning lacer, Stanhope resident Dottie Wolfe. Aptly scheduled just before romantic Valentines Day, Lace Day weekend allows people to see and learn about making handmade lace. Events are open to both adults and children. On February 2nd, the event is open from 9am 4pm. Theres lace making supplies, lace making demonstrations and Try Me Table, and lace exhibits. Also, theres a lace making class for children from 1 3pm (pre-registration is required). The children will make a bracelet or a motif or a bookmark
The next day, the event runs 9am 4pm with adult workshops/classes. Pre-registration is required. The Lost Art Lacers is a not-for-profit group of women and a few men who enjoy the art of lacemaking and also want to keep lacemaking alive in its many forms. We meet once a month on the fourth Friday of the month for a business meeting and once a month for a social meeting of making lace from September to May. In the summer months of June, July and August, we participate in demonstrations at historic sites in the Northern New Jersey area, shared its Membership Chairperson, Clara Eastby of Branchville. Eastby has been making lace for 22 years. The purpose of Lace Day is two- fold: It gives local lacers the opportunity to purchase supplies and browse the lace suppliers wares and take classes and also introduces the public to the art of lacemaking as it was done before machines, Eastby said. Stanhope resident, Dottie Wolfe, will be among the Lost Art Lacers on hand for the event. A lacemaker for over 40 years, Wolfe won seven ribbons for her lace at this years New Jersey State Fair. I always have my tatting with me, and
Lace Day
will happily demonstrate and teach. All of us bring finished projects or work in progress to exhibit. We have lots of lacemaking supplies for sale, and lots of demonstrations - anyone who would like to try their hand at various lace techniques is welcome to try, she said. Eastby and Wolfe noted the variety of things that can be made with lace. Eastby has used her handmade lace for clothing accessories such as earrings, shawls, scarfs,

handkerchiefs, a wedding handkerchief and garter for her niece and household items such as doilies, and motifs for framing. Wolfe shared her favorite thing to make from lace. I make a lot of jewelry, because a girl can never have too much! she said. When asked what lacemaking means to them, Eastby shared, Lacemaking for me is relaxing, an escape which allows me to continued on next page

MOHS Parent's Club Hosts Fashion Show
Q. Tell me about your practice? A. I am a neurosurgeon who specializes in minimally invasive endoscopic spine surgery at Executive Spine Surgery in Hackettstown, NJ. I completed two fellowships in complex spine surgery at Stanford University in California and interventional and minimally invasive spine surgery at Semmes-Murphey Neurologic and Spine Institute in Tennessee. I focus on treatment of spinal disorders through pain injections and minimally invasive spine surgery. Q. What is minimally invasive spine surger y? A. It is spine surgery with a skin incision less than 1-inch, but it is more than just a small incision. The surgery is done through a tube in between back muscles to decrease muscle damage and weakness caused by muscle retraction. Do not confuse minimally invasive surgery with the term microsurgery. Microsurgery only refers to the use of a microscope not the size of the incision or the amount of muscle damage. Q. How is endoscopic laser spine surger y different than minimally invasive surger y? A. Endoscopic spine surgery
is state-of-the-art minimally invasive spine surgery. A micro video camera is inserted through a small incision to the damaged area of the spine. The camera projects the images onto a video screen so the surgeon can easily visualize the pathology. Tiny instruments are inserted through the camera to remove herniated disks, fix arthritis or fuse the spine under direct visualization. The media often emphasizes lasers but they are only one of the many endoscopic instruments. Q. Why is endoscopic spine surger y better than traditional surger y? A. Traditional surgery is more destructive in its approach to the spine for the problem being treated. The larger the incision the more collateral tissue damage and consequential scar tissue that forms. This scar tissue may result in future difficulties. Endoscopic spine surgery is extremely minimally invasive, even for minimally invasive spine surgery. The incision is very small (the size of a fingernail) and there is minimal damage to blood vessels, muscle, ligaments and bone producing very little blood loss. No general anesthesia is required decreasing medical risks and improving access to surgery for high-risk patients. These benefits result in less post-operative pain and quicker recovery.
Q. What types of conditions can endoscopic spine surger y treat? A. Treatment is effective for conditions that cause back pain, leg pain, numbness and weakness, such as arthritis, bone spurs, bulging discs, stenosis, herniated disc, facet joint disease, sciatica, scoliosis, spondylolisthesis (slipped spine), instability and others. Q. What are the surger y options? A. Endoscopic Rhizotomy treats back and leg pain originating from facet joints and medial branch nerves. The medial branch nerves are found and cut through the endoscope. Patients usually have almost immediate pain relief lasting for years. Radiofrequency ablation (RFA) only damages the nerve and usually provides pain relief for six to nine months. Recovery time ranges from one to three weeks. Endoscopic Discectomy treats back and leg pain resulting from herniated or torn discs pinching the leg nerves causing sciatica. The disc is found and removed through the endoscope, providing quick pain re-
lief. Recovery time ranges from two to 6 weeks. Endoscopic Fusion treats degenerative disk disease, spondylolysis (pars fracture), spondylolithesis and instability that cause back pain. The disk is removed through the endoscope and spinal endplates are prepared for fusion under direct visualization. Endoscopic fusion is done under general anesthetic with nerve monitoring to facilitate insertion of a cage and spinal instrumentation. Recovery time ranges from one to three months. Q. Why can you help people others say they cannot? A. Traditional surgery is limited because the surgeon requires direct vision of the pathology with their eye or microscope. The endoscope camera visualizes areas that are not usually accessible, through foramen and around corners. This greater visualization combined with less damage and surgical risk increases the spectrum of pathology that can be treated safely. This allows treatment of spinal disorders others say they cannot treat. This happened many years ago in orthopedics with introduction of endoscope to knee surgery. Today no one doubts the incredible benefits of endoscopy of the knee. We are seeing this happen with spine surgery. Q. Can you help ever yone? A. Not everyone can be helped or will be satisfied. This is still spine surgery. I do sincerely believe that in those that
are not improved, the negative consequences of the open techniques are at least avoided. Endoscopic spine surgery is the next advance in the treatment of spinal disorders. Q. Why doesnt ever yone do this surger y? A. These procedures require a unique combination of skills that take time to acquire; it is a hybrid procedure that falls in between interventional pain and minimally invasive spine surgery. They are cutting-edge techniques. I believe that with time these procedures will replace most open surgeries of the spine similar to orthopedic, urology, general and gynecological surgery. Endoscopic spine surgery is the future.

reeholder Director Mastrangelo credits Governor Christie, county and local efforts to control spending Statement from Morris County Freeholder Director Tom Mastrangelo on state and media reports on property taxes: Sunday's headline that property taxes increased at the lowest rate in 21 years was made even more gratifying by the fact that Morris County property taxes , inclusive of,local, school and county levies, actually fell by 0.8 percent. In fact Morris County was the only county where property taxes fell. First and foremost credit for this remarkable change in the direction of property taxes goes to Governor Christie and his administration. By enacting salary arbitration, health benefits, and pension reform local government was given the tools to reduce property taxes, and in Morris County we did.
Morris County Leads the State in Property Tax Relief

Morris County has maintained a strong financial position as demonstrated by our AAA rating. When I took office two years ago we sought further improvements by reducing the growth in county property taxes from seven to eight million dollars a year, to four million dollars the past two years. In 2013 we are seeking no increase in property tax dollar to run county government while still delivering essential services. With the assistance and hard work of the department heads and employees of county government I believe we can achieve this goal. I also want to compliment local officials for their herculean efforts to control costs and taxes. Governor Christie indicated that going forward we must increase efforts at sharing services and simply "stop spending". I fully agree with the Governor and I also call for the state legislature to finally pass sick pay and civil service reform.
I know my fellow freeholders are ready to roll up their sleeves and work together for smaller, smarter government, so we can continue to deliver tax relief to the residents of Morris County.

Habitat For Humanity Helps Those Hit Hard By The Storms

the Habitat volunteers to help make a difference. Right after the storm, the local Habitat affiliate, Morris Habitat, pitched in by collecting several cargo trucks full of items ranging from non-perishable food to clothing and blankets. These items were sent directly to nonprofits helping in the storm ravaged area. . According to Blair Bravo, Morris Habitats Executive Director, to date almost $18,000 was raised locally through donations. These funds went directly to the rebuilding efforts. Currently, Morris Habitat for Humanity is sharing a 15 passenger van (donated by GM) with the Paterson affiliate to transport volunteers to the affected areas for the rebuilding efforts. Morris Habitat is also keeping a list of people interested in working on stormaffected homes and they will keep these people updated as to the progress of the projects involving Morris Habitat. There is still so much to be done! If you want to be part of the rebuilding effort, you can make a financial donation directly by accessing https://www.habitat.org.. Volunteers are always needed. For more information, and to find out when the next Morris Habitat volunteer orientation is
he week before Christmas, Habitat for Humanity International launched its first-ever fleet of Mobile Response Units from Atlanta. The 24 vans were donated by Chevrolet and specially outfitted with tools and supplies donated by Lowes and the Robert Bosch Tool Corporation. Their destination? Habitat affiliates working in New York and New Jersey to rebuild communities affected by Superstorm Sandy. After picking up the donated supplies, over 70 volunteers set out for the metropolitan area. Habitat CEO, Jonathan Reckford, visited several homes on Staten Island that are being gutted for rebuilding. Volunteers from Habitat and local nonprofit, All Hands, hauled out armloads of rotten floor planks and moldy drywall at the Fox Beach Avenue home of Alex Dionne. Its painful to hear what people have gone through, Reckford said, walking through the Fox Beach Avenue area where three people died at the height of Superstorm Sandy. No matter how much you see on the news, theres nothing like being here and seeing it for yourself. This special outreach effort was reported on NBCs morning show recently and many of the NBC staff, including Al Roker, joined

In 1886 Thomas Edison Brought Electricity to the Palace of the Last King of Hawaii
using the energy from Hawaii's volcanoes to produce electricity to light Hawaii's capital, and transmit this power via submarine cable to the other islands. Five years later in 1886, Edison sent an engineer from the Thomas Edison Company to Hawaii and Iolani Palace was electrified. Ironically, the last monarchy in the US territories - the Iolani Palace had electricity four years before the White House. This was an extravagant endeavor, because the light system actually ended up costing as much as the entire palace building. Soon afterwards the streets of Honolulu were lit by electricity. It was the electrification of the King's Palace that ushered in the formation of the
by Michele Guttenberger he last reigning king of Hawaii loved technology and had futuristic plans for his Kingdom. In 1881,The Merrie Monarch - Hawaiis King David Kalakaua and his Attorney General set off to meet with Thomas Edison in Menlo Park, NJ during his around the world tour in 1881. Thomas Edison gave the king a demonstration of electricity at his legendry electric powered laboratory in Menlo Park. King Kalakaua in 1881 even conceived of the possibilities of geothermal energy that could power this electricity to his Island nation. He and Thomas Edison conversed about
Hawaiian Electric Company. King David Kalakauas use of Edisons latest technologies was a passion of his even in his final days of life. Four days before his death on January 20, 1891, Kalakaua recorded his final words on an Edison wax cylinder phonograph/recorder while lying on his death bed. This was done with the assistance of a representative from the Thomas Edison Company at the Palace Hotel in San Francisco. The wax cylinder was sent back to Honolulu. It was given to James Pratt. Pratt was the only person that owned a recording device in the kingdom at the time. He later donated this historical recording to Hawaii's Bishop Museum in 1918. Today we can see an example of King Kalakauas vision of geothermal energy at the Thomas Edisons Glenmont Estate in West Orange, New Jersey. It has a thermal heating and cooling system and a behind-the-scene tour of this system is given during special events by appointment. It is part of our National Park Service and is a national treasure and part of our modern heritage located here in New Jersey. You can still see the exact model wax cylinder phonograph-recorder that the last King of Hawaii used in his final days orchestrated by Hawaii's extraordinary inventive advisor to the king -Thomas Alva Edison. Please visit The Thomas Alva Edison Museum- NPS Open Wednesday through Sunday. Hours are 9:00am 5:00pm Fee is $7.00 - 211 Main Street West Orange, NJ 07052.

Meet the very handsome Duffy from Eleventh Hour Rescue. This 3 year old, Shepherd mix was found neglected, staving, and abused as a stray. He had been neglected for so long that he was totally emaciated yet his collar was so tight that is was embedded into the skin of his neck and had to be removed surgically. During his treatment and recovery the staff noted how kind and wonderful Duffys personality was. Then his time was up at that shelter and he was scheduled for euthanasia, however, the staff was so impressed by him that a volunteer for Eleventh Hour Rescue was contacted to save his life. Now healthy, happy, and full of life, Duffy is ready to find the loving home that he so deserves. He loves people and will readily roll over for his favorite thing a nice belly rub.

rundage Park Playhouse is pleased to announce auditions for its upcoming performance of CAT ON A HOT TIN ROOF by Tennessee Williams. Directed by Neil Fitzpatrick. Auditions are scheduled on Monday, February 25th and Wednesday, February 27th from 7-9 pm at the playhouse on Carrell Road in Randolph, NJ. Callbacks TBD. Please arrive as close to 7 pm as possible. If you are unable to audition during these times, please contact the director at tinroof13@optonline.net to arrange an audition. Characters ages are merely a guideline, and may be adjusted, once everyone has auditioned. Auditioners will be asked to read from sides, which will be provided. Please bring a headshot and/or resume to the audition. If you do not have a headshot, a photo will be taken at the audition for identification purposes. The Story One of Williams best-known plays and a Pulitzer Prize winning drama in 1955, Cat on a Hot Tin Roof is a gripping portrayal of a southern family in crisis. Brick Pollitt and his wife Maggie interact with Bricks family during a birthday gathering for his father,
Brundage Park Playhouse: Cat On A Hot Tin Roof

Big Daddy, changing the course of their marriage and their relationships with the rest of the family. Characters Margaret (27-30) - Maggie is a woman desperate in her sense of loneliness, who is made all the more beautiful in her envy, longing, and dispossession. The exhilaration of the play lies in the force of the audience's identification with its gorgeous heroine. Brick (27-30) - The favorite son, Brick embodies an almost archetypal masculinity. At the same time, the Brick before us is also an obviously broken man because of his repressed homosexual desire for his dead friend Skipper. Big Daddy (65 +/-) - Brick's father. Daddy is a large, brash, and vulgar plantation millionaire who believes he has returned from the grave. Though his coming death has been quickly repressed, in some sense Daddy has confronted its possibility. Big Mama (65 +/-) - Brick's mother. Fat, breathless, sincere, earnest, crude, and bedecked in flashy gems, Mama is a woman embarrassingly dedicated to a man who despises her and is in feeble denial of her husband's disgust. She considers Brick her "only son." Mae (30-35) - A mean, agitated "monster of fertility" who schemes with her husband Gooper to secure Big Daddy's estate. Gooper (30-35) - Gooper is Daddy's eldest and least favored son. He deeply resents his parents' love for Brick, viciously relishes in Daddy's illness, and rather ruthlessly plots to secure control of the estate. Reverend Tooker (40-60) - A tactless,
opportunistic, and hypocritical guest at Big Daddy's birthday party. Doctor Baugh (4060) - The sober Baugh is Daddy's physician who delivers Daddy's diagnosis to Big Mama and leaves her with a prescription of morphine.

Tell Them You Saw It In The Musconetcong News, January 2013, Page 23 Steve Oroho for State Senate (District 24): Steve was active in his community for decades as a volunteer firefighter and youth athletics coach. He is active in numerous community organizations like Center for Prevention and Counseling, Project SelfSufficiency, Champions for Charity, and Birth Haven. A former Franklin Borough Councilman and Sussex County Freeholder, Steve won a hard fought race in 2007 to become Senator. He is a key member of the Senate Budget & Appropriations Committee, where he has won praise from business and labor for his work to create a bipartisan consensus to reform business taxes and develop a more jobs friendly environment in New Jersey. Steve and Rita Oroho have been married 32 years. They are the parents of five children and have two grandchildren. Alison Littell McHose for Assembly (District 24): Alison is the ranking woman in the Assembly Republican Caucus. She is one of just three Republican members who bring to the Assembly the important perspective of being the mother of school-aged children. After graduating from college, Alison worked in the administration of President George H. W. Bush before marrying and returning to Sussex County. Elected after a tough race in 2003, Alison has made a name for herself as an articulate voice for conservative values, electoral reform, and transparency in government. She is active in numerous community service organizations in Sussex County. Alison and her husband, Sergeant Morgan McHose (U.S. Army), live in Franklin with their three children. They have been married 19 years. Parker Space for Assembly (District 24): Parker owns and operates the Space Farms Zoo & Museum an institution in Sussex County since the 1920s. Born and raised in the rural heritage of Northwest New Jersey, Parker has been active with farming and conservation groups, and as a volunteer firefighter. Parker was elected by his neighbors to serve as Mayor of his hometown, Wantage, before winning an upset victory for Freeholder in 2010. Considered a voice for reform in the county, Parker is currently the Director of the Sussex County Freeholder Board. As a member of the Assembly, Parker will be a strong conservative voice for the values of Sussex County. Parker and Jill Space have been married 20 years and are the parents of three children. I am proud of our team and our service to Sussex, Warren, and Morris Counties, Senator Oroho said, adding: To run for office requires both courage and humility. We come before the voters and argue our case and they make their decision. In June, it is up to the Republican primary voters to decide who to nominate to represent them in November. Then we go before all the voters who render their final decision. We come before the voters with a strong hardworking team with proven service and dedication to our residents.
enator Steve Oroho announced today that he will be leading a Hometown Conservative Team on the June primary ballot. I am proud to be a part of a team with Assemblywoman Alison Littell McHose and Freeholder Parker Space who have long histories of service to the people of Northwest New Jersey, Senator Oroho said. Running as the Hometown Conservative Team are:

here was a time when an apple was the last place you would look to experiment with new flavors in the produce section. But today, there are nearly 100 commercial varieties to choose from, each with unique characteristics to tickle your taste buds. One new variety called Opal is grown in Washington and offers a complex flavor that starts sweet and finishes with a slight tang. Vibrantly yellow and super crunchy, these apples are perfect for fresh salads and side dishes. And, unlike many types of apples, Opals naturally resist oxidation after cutting, which keeps them fresh and delicious for a lunch prepared before you head out for work, or snacking through the day. An added benefit is that when you buy Opal apples, you are helping to fund the Youth Make a Difference Initiative grants, which provide funding for youth programs serving communities across the United States. For a lunch with a crunch, try adding apples in fun and delicious ways:
