Would your dog like to run off leash in a safe, fenced-in area? For the past year the Blairstown Dog Park Committee has been working on their dream to build a community Dog Park in Blairstown. Over the past decade dog parks have been growing in popularity across the country, as towns and cities alike have witnessed the positive impact that dog parks can have on their communities. After having worked with the Blairstown Township Committee it has been decided that the dog park will be located behind the Blairstown Municipal Building at Route 94 in Blairstown. The fenced in area will be slightly over one acre in size and feature separate areas for both small and large dogs.

The Dog Park committee usually meets on the second Monday of every month at 7pm, but due to Columbus Day, the next meeting will be October 17th at the Catherine Dickson Hofman Library, 4 Lambert Road, Blairstown.

To make this possible the Blairstown Dog Park committee needs your support! You can find them at the Hay Bales of Hope on October 15th at the Antler Ridge Wildlife Sanctuary, on Route 661 in Johnsonburg. You may have also seen their

table at the Farmers Market this year or at the Town Wide Garage Sales. They also have several donation jars at area businesses. The committee is seeking people to assist with fund-raising, publicity and other organizing tasks. If you would like

to join us in this community venture, or to make a donation towards the appropriate materials, or with questions, please email blairstowndog park@hotmail.com or call Rebecca Seamon at 908-854-0090, and Jenny Harrington at 908-362-6003.

John Stinger Painting Workshop Planned at WCARTS

open Q&A session. John's Statement: "I have been an artist all my life selling work to consumer publications as a teen, won a full art scholarship in high school and later studied under several Bucks County painters and two others from the West Coast. Living in New Hope for many years and seeing the works of the great Pennsylvania Impressionists, inspired me to concentrate on plein air landscape painting. I avoid locations that have been painted by these masters because they did it so magnificently. I decided to paint my own discoveries and sometimes imaginary scenes that reflect my impressions of this elegant land, but always striving to be a painter of my own time, place and generation." The meeting will be held at 7pm, Thursday, October 13th in the Oxford Township Municipal building, 11 Green Street, Oxford, NJ 07863. The public is welcome and refreshments will be served.

Oxford Archery Team, Coyne to get Special Recognition at Hall of Fame Dinner
For the past five years, the Oxford Central School Archery Team has been No. 1 in the state of New Jersey and regularly is among the top finishers nationally. While some of the names have changed over the years, there is no denying that the school is truly a powerhouse in the world of archery. For the past eight years, Ed Coyne of Independence Township has forged a jazz music series at Centenary College that has become renowned throughout New Jersey and draws fans from throughout the tri-state area. Initially started as a summer series, he now produces a summer series and a winter series, both under the Centenary Performing Arts banner. Both will be honored at this year's Warren County Hall of Fame dinner with Special Recognition Awards on October 15th at Hawk Pointe Country Club in Washington Township. Hall of Fame inductees this year are Wayne Dumont, Christopher Maier, Norman Beatty, Dick Lowe, BarbaraJayne Lewthwaite, and Joe Bock. "The Special Recognition Awards are a way to honor those individuals and groups that while they may not be Hall of Fame eligible, they are clearly an important fabric to the Warren County community," said Samir Elbassiouny, Executive Director of the Warren County Community College Foundation, which sponsors the Hall of Fame. "Over the last five years the Oxford Central School Archery Team has attained a level very few schools can reach. And Mr. Coyne's love of jazz has transformed Warren County into a go-to place for that kind of music. "I think jazz is more than music," Coyne told the Warren Reporter in 2009. "It should be great entertainment. I look for performers who offer that." The formula has clearly worked as attendance has grown dramatically since the first series was launched in 2003. The archery team won its fifth straight state championship in April. This year's team was coached by Rob Causton and Matt Hibbett with faculty assistant coaches Renee Hart, Jen Saxton and Vicki Ficarra. The establishment of the Warren County Hall of Fame, sponsored by the Warren County Community College Foundation, creates a forum for honoring Warren County's finest in an array of fields. A gala dinner will be held on October 15th at Hawk Pointe Golf & Country Club to celebrate the newest class of inductees and all the finalists. The Hall of Fame itself is set up at Warren County Community College, where the public is invited to see it. For tickets to the recognition dinner or for more information, please call 908-835-2334 or email them at wchallofame@wcccfou ndation.org.

Bring The Beach Into Your Home Year-Round Spicing Up Your Homes
beach feel even on a gloomy winter day: Accent with shimmering sea glass. Sea glass is one of the rarest of all beach finds. Perhaps that's why purchasing an accent piece made of natural sea glass can be very expensive. But thanks to paint innovation, it's easy to replicate the glimmering bluish green tone of natural sea glass and create a beautiful accent piece without spending a fortune. Find an old glass jar, bowl or vase around your homeor purchase one at the dollar store. Then spray it with a paint like Rust-Oleum Frosted Glass Spray. Fill the jar or bowl with sand, coral or shells you brought home from the beach. It will cost less than $10 but will look like you spent a fortune. Seashells forever. Hunting for shells is a timeless beach pastime. And the seashells you find can be used to create one-of-a-kind decorations to give a beach feel to your home year-round. Make sure to clean your shells with soap and water to remove sand, salt and other debris. Once completely dry, spray on a coat of Bulls Eye Shellac. Its all-natural shellac resin will seal in lingering odors and preserve the shells so they don't crumble over time. Let the shells dry overnight. Then get out your glue gun and attach them to any surface you choose. It's an easy, affordable way to spend some postbeach time with your kids. Frame up your vacation memories. Photos are great for reminiscing about warm summer days at the beach. So instead of storing them on your hard drive, why not frame them in ocean-esque colors for all to see? Find a few old frames, either at home or from a thrift store. Then paint them with a spray paint like Rust-Oleum Stops Rust Harbor Blue or Ultra 2X Aqua. Group your photos on a vacation wallor display them throughout your hometo keep your warm, sunny days at the beach top of mind throughout the winter's chill.

Warren County Public Health Nursing Agency Conducts Emergency Exercise

ASK NOAH DAWL Summer really is over. I can see it with my own eyes. Leaves are starting to turn. It's said that the average NJ peak fall color occurs from now through the end of October. Here's hoping for a spectacular autumn. Dear Noah: I was embarrassed the other night when my kids asked me why the maple tree in our yard turns one color and the other trees turn different colors. I couldn't answer them in a way they could understand. Can you? (signed) Turned Red Dear Red: Sure. I'll give it a try. Shorter days, means less sunshine. Less sunshine means not enough energy for photosynthesis (the way a tree turns water and carbon dioxide into oxygen and sugar, its food). Shorter days then tell the trees that it's time to go into their rest cycle, during which they can live off the food they stored all summer. The substance that makes the leaves green, chlorophyll, stops, and we begin to see the colors that have been in the leaves all along. The reds and bright shades of orange and yellow are the sugars still caught in the leaves when the trees start to rest. Brown is waste material left over from summertime. Depending on your children's age, the following is a good site for a brief overview of the phenomenon: www.sciencemade simple.com/leaves.html For locating peak viewing along the Northeast corridor, go to http://www.weather.com/outlook/dri ving/fallfoliage/regiondetail/nj1 and use the map key to find the best general locations.

Nice guys do not always finish last, Capricorn. Its ok to be upbeat. In fact, that is the very attitude your supervisor seeks this week. A special prize is in store.

Yes, oh yes, Cancer. The struggle to reach the top is worth it, and you will not fail. A furry friends health crisis passes. Get them a little something to celebrate.

Pay no heed to the expectations of others, Aquarius. You only need to satisfy yourself. A courageous friend gets off to a rocky start. Lend them your support.

What happens at home this week is nothing short of a miracle. Get out the party hats and horns and invite everyone over for a fine feast, Leo. You all deserve it!

You dont like to say I told you so, but this is your chance, Pisces. All of those naysayers have it coming. A report raises more questions than are answered.

A mistake in judgement comes back to haunt you. Fess up, Virgo. If you dont, you will never hear the end of it. Make a point to be extra nice at home, and attitudes will change.

A cheeky retort gets your mind working, and new possibilities become clear. Make no mistake about it. A family member isnt happy about a recent decision but will come to terms with it in time. Its never too late to teach an old dog new tricks. Go ahead and trade up, Taurus. You will handle the matter with ease. A conflict is resolved at home.

You like flying solo, but a tough assignment calls for some teamwork, Libra. Gather the troops and divide and conquer. Someone new comes into your life.

Believe in yourself, Scorpio, and you will not only meet but exceed your wildest expectations. Travel plans hit a major snag. No need to fear. Help is on the way!

No, no, no, Gemini. Your desire to please certain people no matter what the cost is allowing them to walk all over you. Stand up for yourself. A financial snafu is a blessing in disguise.

From failure often comes success, Sagittarius. Keep that in mind this week at work. If at first you dont succeed, try and try again. You will be victorious.

Warren County Seasonal Flu/Pneumonia Vaccine Program Announced

The Warren County Public Health Nursing Agency has scheduled additional Flu/ Pneumonia Vaccine clinics for the month of October. Influenza (flu) is a contagious disease caused by the influenza virus, which can be spread by coughing, sneezing, or nasal secretions.

The flu can be a serious health threat for infants, the elderly, pregnant women, and people with certain health conditions, such as heart, lung or kidney disease or a weakened immune system. Flu can cause high fever and pneumonia, and make existing medical conditions worse. It can cause diarrhea and seizures in children. Each year thousands of people die from seasonal influenza and even more require hospitalization. By getting vaccinated you can protect yourself from influenza and may also avoid spreading influenza to others. The pneumonia vaccine is recommended for people 65 years of age and older, any adult smoker or asthmatic 19 years of age and older, and also, anyone 2 64 years of age with longterm health problems, a disease or condition that lowers the bodys resistance to infection, or someone who is taking a drug or treatment that does the same.
