Budd Lake Farm Grows Healthier Eaters
By Cheryl Conway n old Budd Lake farm vacant for more than a decade has found a new owner with lots of TLC to grow organic veggies and fruits for healthier eating. Margaret Noon of Scotch Plains purchased the land known as Charters Farm on the corner of Stephens Park and Sandshore roads this past spring on April 20. She has named the 70-acre land, School Lunch Farm, based on her mission to encourage schools to provide healthier foods to students in their cafeterias. With the threat of the farming industry decreasing, the need for more farmers grows even greater as does the need for better quality food. Farmers are aging out, says Noon, a former creative director working in advertising for 20 years. We need more farmers. We do have a lot of young people who volunteer. Noon hopes that her farm will be a place for young people to learn about farming. Noons interest in farming grew after she attended Culinary Arts School and graduated as a professional chef. When I went to cooking school, I became more knowledgeable of eating locally, says Noon. She got more interested in agriculture and different farms, and even worked as
an apprentice on an agriculture farm, Genesis Farm in Blairstown, for two years. Working on a farm is nothing new to Noon, whose famcontinued on page 14

Slow Down On Corey Road - Changes Set for Safer Travels
By Cheryl Conway or those who drive on Corey Road or utilize the Mt. Olive High School, expect some changes this upcoming school year to provide safer travels. After several discussions, officials from the town, school and police departments have decided on some measures to protect walkers and commuters that frequent the high school. The changes are being enforced after two female high school students were hit by a school bus the morning
of May 17 while crossing Corey Road. Lower speed limits, a crosswalk, a painted median strip and speed indicator signs have been approved, while additional changes to the entrance and exit ways of the high school may be implemented down the road. All of this is being changed to ensure the safety of our children being transported to and from school, says Captain Don Gardner of the Mt. Olive Police Department, continued on page 6

Association. Tom will be playing with us this year in spirit, just as he did last year. Hed definitely approve of playing golf to help kids go to college. He always pushed everyone to learn more, attend another class, go to schoolto get better at whatever they do. The funds collected will fund a scholarship for one male and one female student at Mount Olive High School. In addition, separate scholarships for the children of firefighters will come from the money raised. Individuals can participate for $125; a foursome is $460.

Corey Road...
continued from front page so they can come and go as safe as possible. Mayor Rob Greenbaum had requested a police investigation subsequent to the bus accident last spring to determine what would make crossing Corey Road safer, says Greenbaum. Police had determined that the crash was a result of sun glare that had deterred the bus drivers vision. Although the accident was not from speeding, as the bus driver was making a left turn out of the high school onto Corey Road, according to Greenbaum, a number of people had attested to a speeding problem on Corey Road, he says. Some sections of Corey Road were set to 40 mph. The Mt. Olive Township Council decided to reduce the speed limit 25 mph throughout the length of Corey Road. The council passed an ordinance on July 11 to reduce the speed limit effective as of Aug. 1. We are trying to slow traffic down by lowering it to 25 mph, says Gardner. To monitor speed, Gardner says there will be speed indicator signs similar to a trailer that says your speed is. A smaller permanent fixture will be mounted on a sign
board, telephone pole or street sign with radar to inform motorists of their speed. As they approach the high school, it will show them their speed, says Gardner. As they approach the intersection, they will be further alerted of the school by a painted median. Another change will be the installation of a crosswalk at Corey Road and the entrance to the high school. Signs will be posted in the middle of the road to announce the approaching of a school zone. If there is a school crossing area, you are required to do 25 mph anyhow, says Gardner. Police officials will be strictly enforcing the speed changes on Corey Road and citations will be issued like any other speeding summons, he says. There will also be a narrowing of the road with the use of paint to alert drivers of the speed and caution them that they need to slow down, says Greenbaum. Expect a painted median strip in the area of the high school entrance/exit, says Gardner. The median strip will be a painted line in the shape of an elongated oval with cross lines through it to caution vehicles to slow down. The area will also be used for signage for students crossing.
The changes that are being made are subject to change, says Gardner. Sometimes things go exactly as envisioned, other times modifications are required. Gardner says One thing we discussed was restricting the exit and entrance. We have discussed options but that hasnt been settled yet. One idea is, right turn only onto Corey Road. Gardner explains that
turning right may assist with the crosswalk and reduce traffic. Another idea is, exit only through the back of the high school. Its something weve discussed, says Gardner. More changes may be made once everything is in place. Everything has not been decided upon yet. Right now we want to get the infrastructure in, the lines in, signs up, median in.

From the Mayors Desk
Mayor Rob Greenbaum
nother month has gone by and so with Labor Day right around the corner. Where has the summer gone? As a youth, summer seemed endless. As an adult, summer seems no more than two weeks long. Four days of my summer were spent at the carnival, one hour of which I spent in the dunk tank raising money for our baseball/softball club. Those of you who attended the carnival fireworks at Turkey Brook, Im sure
were as impressed as I was with the show. I can only hope that next years carnival can end with even a greater extravaganza. My sincere appreciation goes out to all of those who worked and volunteered their time to make the carnival such a success. Speaking of Turkey Brook, those of you who have visited lately may have noticed the transition of one of the soccer fields from grass to turf. The turf field is the result of a partnership with the Mount Olive Soccer club. I am extremely pleased that no tax dollars will be used related to the installation of the turf. We are working with the other sports groups in town to also improve our recreational facilities without the expenditure of tax dollars. When I took office, I vowed that we would be creative and do more with less. We
are now starting to see the fruits of our efforts and will continue to move Mt. Olive in the right direction. Many have commented to me that they feel a new sense of positive momentum in Mt. Olive. I agree. The Mayors Office has been working diligently with all of the municipal departments to keep the positive momentum moving forward. One such effort involves the partnership with township businesses to help beatify Mt. Olive, again without spending tax dollars. Those efforts will soon be visible as you drive or ride your bicycle around town. Speaking of bicycles, I am very excited about the September 30, 2012 Tour de Mount Olive/Five Mile Family Bike Ride &Safety Rodeo event being planned by our recreation department. As an avid rider, I
look forward to riding with all of you on a thirty mile (Im sure very hilly) ride around town. Please join me. The more participation we get, the more of these type events we will be able to run. Sign up for the bicycle event can be accomplished on the township
website www.mountolivetownship.com under the recreation tab. Finally, we continue to look for ways to save money and/or to increase revenues. I am very excited about the new and existing expanding businesses I see on the horizon. Mt. Olive is
a great town with fantastic opportunities. You simply need to participate to take advantage of all that we offer. Sincerely, Rob Greenbaum Mayor, Mount Olive Township

By Elsie Walker e invite and encourage the community to come, whether directly or indirectly touched [by the events of 9-11]. Were remembering the human loss and sufferinglets get together and remember.be side by side with anyone that was affected , said Rev. Tom Kinter. On Sunday, September 9th at 9:30am, the Stanhope United Methodist Church at #2 Route 183 in Netcong, will be holding its annual outdoor service remembering 911. Kinter, Pastor of the church, explained the significance of the service being outdoors. I think the outdoor service is a visual of the losspeople were forced outside , he said, in recalling how people had to flee the buildings. [So]on a given Sunday, we make the sacrifice of leaving our beautiful sanctuary to sit on the lawn. Kinter went on to note that a service like this is also a way to teach children what took place on that day. He likened it to what the Israelites did after crossing the Jordan. They made sure there was something in

place that would educate generations about the trials that were endured. However, the service is not only about loss, it is also about life. During the service, a baby is being baptized. Even when crisis strikes, we go on living. God is with us in life and death, said Kinter. The service is a reminder of that. After the service, the community is invited to stay for a picnic sponsored by the churchs United Methodist Mens group. In the case of inclement weather, the service will be held indoors.

"Battle Stations" is designed to galvanize the basic warrior attributes of sacrifice, dedication, teamwork and endurance in each recruit through the practical application of basic Navy skills and the core values of Honor, Courage and Commitment. Its distinctly ''Navy'' flavor was designed to take into account what it means to be a Sailor. Duchemin is also the brother of Anne M. Hatten of Flanders, N. J.

Budd Lake Farm Grows Healthier Eaters...

continued from front page ily used to own a farm in Mine Hill three generations ago back in 1970. I always liked growing food as a kid; it seemed like a natural thing to do. I was pretty successful with growing tomatoes. We always had gardens. A friend of hers had mentioned that the farm in Budd Lake was going up for auction, so she decided to look into it. Since it was a good location with access to highways, and the land was flat with a history of farming on it, Noon grabbed it. Changing careers from advertising to farming has given Noon an outlet for creativity. You should do more than one thing in your life, says Noon. Whether its cooking, farming or marketing something, its all using your creative skill. Sometimes there are more important things than finances. Sometimes you decide other things are more important than living in Manhattan. If you like to work with your hands and grow things, farming is a great creative outlet. Noon had been working on the farm since the spring of 2011, preparing the land before purchasing it one year later. Her work involved cover crops in which you plant grains and grasses to suppress weeds and add organic matter, known as green manure or compost. In mid-July, Noon started distributing shares. We are a small Community Supported Agriculture (CSA) farm in which people buy a share or membership in exchange for a weekly supply of whatever we are growing. Shareholders are invited to visit weekly until right before Thanksgiving for fresh vegetables. Last week, for example, shareholders were given eight different items such as zucchini, squash, and three varieties of cucumbers and beets. So far, 16 people have purchased a share at School Lunch Farm. Membership is $600, which comes out to be about $30 per week for the season. Noon hopes to have 40 shareholders by the end of this year, and 100 shareholders by next year. Shareholders visit the farm on Wednesdays and Fridays from noon to 5 p.m.; and on Saturdays, are invited to pick up their shares at a market in Oakland. Most of the distributions are harvested the morning of pick-up, or the latest within 24 hours of pick-up, says Noon. The School Lunch Farm mission is dedicated to creating healthier soil and community by growing nutrient dense organic vegetables and fruits, heirloom and specialty produce for community supported agriculture shareholders, says Noon. The community support of the farm will enable the farm to sustain itself and work toward the future goals of providing low cost organic vegetables & fruit for school lunch programs and a low income CSA program. Members kids have also been involved in the planting and harvesting at the farm, Noon says. By growing using organic practices, Noon says I believe the food is healthier. Many people believe organic food is healthier for you since they dont use fertilizer or pesticides. The land is healthier; its more of an environmental approach. Its a good thing for families to join so they know where their food is coming from. Noon, and volunteers, have grown various vegetables so far at School Lunch Farm including heirloom tomatoes, green and yellow zucchini, heirloom squash, parsley, basil, lemon basil, dill, cilantro, 4 varieties of peppers, swiss chard, 2 varieties kale, 12 varieties of lettuce, 8 varieties of beans, 3 varieties of beets, 4 varieties of carrots, 12 varieties of potatoes, 3 varieties of garlic, 3 varieties of cucumbers, 2 varieties of broccoli, 2 varieties of cauliflower, romanesco, escarole, tatsoi, boc choi, nasturtiums, arugula, spinach, cabbages, parsnips, scal-
lions, leeks, hokorei turnips, radishes, butternut squash, delicate, squash, 3 varieties of sweet potatoes, collards, raspberries. Noon, who has been working with her farm manager, Hannah Hobbs, has been opening a Sunday afternoon roadside market stand to the public to try her fresh varieties. Another goal of Noons is to encourage healthier eating, especially at local schools. Last year, she opened the farm to schools in Morris and Essex counties for field trips to the farm. She is also hoping to provide a farm camp. Her passion in helping children become better eaters stems from her involvement with Slow Food Northern NJ, an organization she has been running to encourage better foods in the schools. Im very involved in trying to improve school lunches in New Jersey, says Noon. Its an effort Ive been involved with for eight years. My intention is to work with schools and vegetables. The food is horrible, the nutritional value is pretty low, in school lunches. Obesity in children has become a societal issue, says Noon. The health of our children is a concern because of studies
that show that the life expectancy will not be as long as their parents because of obesity. Nutrition is at an all time low because of what they are eating. Noon says whether poor or wealthy, they (students) can all be affected by that type of food. As part of her work with Slow Food, Noon is planning a Farm to Table Dinner on Sunday, Aug. 26, from 5 p.m. to 8 p.m. at Fosterfields Living Historical Farm in Morristown. The fundraiser is to support school garden and farm education programs for children. The proceeds from this Sustenance on the Farm Dinner will benefit Fosterfields Living Historical Farms educational farm programs for school children and the Slow Food Northern NJ School Garden Program. With the funds raised from 2011 Sustenance on the Farm Dinners, Slow Food Northern NJ provided grants to eleven schools for vegetable gardens in the 2011/2012 academic year. For more information on the Farm to Table Dinner, become a shareholder or schedule a tour at School Lunch Farm, call Noon at 908-451-0051 or email her at mnoon@verizon.net.

Fire, Rescue, and the Art of Security

able people and groups, the framework was assembled, and at the end of the day, there was pride in the execution of over 100 volunteers using 15 pieces of apparatus. The multiple agencies from fire and rescue to law enforcement were proud and honored that they could perform this type of security and decontamination. A dry run over 8 years ago was a predecessor, when a smaller bell jet ranger helicopter arrived at Budd Lake Fire Station then, the scope significantly limited to the current set of actions.
With the tragedy of September 11th and subsequent national disasters, expectations of protection and safety were raised to strident requirements of total security at a national level. The helicopters added something extra to be sure, but its doing the drill thats significant, practicing decontamination, Robert explains. He orchestrated the event with his brother John, Lt. Colonel with the Army National Guard who just received his continued on page 17
By Theresa Vaia s Robert Sheard scrutinized the plans and logistics for the Fire and Rescue teams that assembled for the Blackhawk Homeland Security Drill in June, the amount of work and the number of concerns were complicated and many. This drill brought together many local fire departments and EMS groups, all volunteer,
that had never collaborated with each other initiating the County Definitive Decontamination Taskforce, and many had never seen anything like it.

Everyone has a task, theres no freelancing. Incident management works, a unified approach brings everyone together to accomplish the goals. Roberts background prepared him well for the task, though, and he could depend fully on his brother John, Commander, Army National Guard in Lakehurst, to collaborate in a similar manner and using his own specific expertise. Raised in a family that believed in giving back and serving, the brothers worked to make execution of procedures into a set of protocols for national safety. At the fire stations since they were infants, the brothers have over 30 years of experience each. Robert has filled many roles and titles, as has John, who was the
Tell Them You Saw It In The Mt. Olive News, August 2012, Page 17 liaison for drug enforcement, and aviator for the State of New Jersey. Their family grew up in service to the public, with father Jerry, who was always in police and fire work, joining the Budd Lake Fire Department in 1971. Amazingly, his beginnings go back much farther. In the year 1952, he joined the Navy and has 12 years of federal fire rescue service. He then joined the Coast Guard, was a Fire Chief, was instrumental in establishing the Morris County Fire Academy and was an instructor there. Jerry was Morris County Fire Marshall for 10 years. Today he works privately as an OSHA consultant, managing issues of compliance, audit, and instruction that takes him to places like recycling plants, construction sites, and the Statue of Liberty. Chief Brad Evans explains that the CMUA connection Budd Lake Fire has with the transfer station in the area of the Trade Zone makes perfect sense for their drills. As a transfer station for waste and recyclables, hazard and dangerous materials can be isolated; the washoff material can be contained and then disposed of. We do drills all the time, every Tuesday between 7pm and 9pm. We practice with large daameter hose, we execute cutting into roofs, we go to areas in town to drill. With an emergency event, all who can answer, do. We dont have a team standing by waiting. We want to be prepared. I was very impressed with our execution during the Blackhawk event, and I believe the military was impressed by us as well. With a major event, we would get the call from Morris County, they coordinate and determine who will respond and what stations will send additional equipment as needed. We must be responsive within an hour. If a major tanker turns over on the road and catches fire, we are trained and ready for the emergency and the hazmat situation. We want things to go smoothly. Flanders is the sister company to Budd Lake, and new recruits are always welcome at both. Currently approximately 10 additional people would be welcomed. Feel free to stop by the Budd Lake Fire Station on a Tuesday after 7pm.
Selling Hot Dogs Is A Snap For Scheiss

intendent of schools, council people, members of the board of education, coaches. Its a nice place to bulls..t. We just hang out. We solve a lot of the worlds problems then we leave. Scheiss, who is 62 going on 20, worked as a construction forensic analysis on failed concrete for several companies for 25 years until he was forced to retire in Oct. 2010 because there was nothing going on anymore within the construction industry, he says. I needed to do something other
than collect unemployment and escape his wife Susans to-do list. As economic conditions got worse, I found myself at home more often, says Scheiss. This encouraged my wife to start her Honey-Do list. The list included everything from air conditioning repair to dusting knick-knacks. The final motivation was when I was told to climb a ladder twenty feet in the air, wave my arms around and clean windows. This to me sounded like continued on page 19

No need to drive into Manhattan for

Chips, soda and water are sold separately. It a job Scheiss truly enjoys. All I do is laugh all day long, says Scheiss. Its just so much fun. People come up from town. I get to talk to people, super-

Road, from 10:30 a.m. to 3:30 p.m.,; and at Budd Lake Car Wash on Route 46 on Saturdays from 10:30 a.m. to 5 p.m. Both locations are weather permitting. I spent 13 months looking for a location that would not require a variance or that the town would not need to do something special for me, says Scheiss. One of the things I didnt want to do is get into a location that required a waiver since the town doesnt really want transient vendors. Scheiss says he is allowed to work as a vendor because he received a special permit from Morris County. I cant be stopped
from peddling because Im a combat veteran, he says. United States says we can peddle; we can become hot dog vendors. From 1968 to 1971, Scheiss served as a sergeant in the U.S. Army, and spent 13 months in Vietnam as a troop strength analyzer. Besides selling delicious hot dogs to his customers, Scheiss says he networks with the businesses in exchange. When someone gets a Platinum Car Wash at Budd Lake Car Wash, for example, Scheiss gives that customer a free hot dog. Its tremendous advertisement and exposure being located next to a business, to see people and tell them about the hot dog stand. Scheiss sells anywhere from 60 to 120 hot dogs daily. One day I sold 200 hot dogs. About 1,000 garbage trucks pass his location daily on Gold Mine Rd. on their way to the Morris County Transfer Station and stop for a hot dog. I buy everything fresh everyday, says Scheiss. He goes to Sams Club to buy Sabretts hot dogs and I use Valentinos Pizzeria to clean my pans, since he does not have the wash, rinse and sterilize sinks which is required by the board of health. Its a business with little stress, he says. He puts the old fashioned hot dog cart like the street carts in NYC, on the back of my Plymouth Voyager and I tow it up there everyday and bring it home everyday, says
Scheiss. I dont like the stress of putting it in a hot dog bun and covering it with all of those condiments, he says sarcastically. Scheiss who will return to the Mt. Olive Board of Education this January, after serving as a member from April 2010 to Dec. 2011- would like to make more money selling his hot dogs but refuses to raise his prices. Im looking for a $1 from 1,000 people not $1,000 from one person, he says. His dogs are top named brand like the ones in NYC referred to as dirty water hot dogs, the kind he grew up with. Scheiss was raised in Bergen County but hung out in NY all the time, and is all too familiar with the best hot dogs. When I was growing up as a kid, there was always a hot dog vendor around Hot Dog Louie, Hot Dog Timmy. With two bins going at a time, Scheiss boils his dogs for five to seven minutes in a beef bouillon, which is the dirty water, used to prevent the meat from bleaching out. Mt. Olive Councilman Joe Nicastro says, "The Hot Dogs are great. I try to stop there anytime I am in the area to enjoy a hot dog with that great snap when you take a bite." Scheiss got the name Souly Dogs as a play on words and his logo is a picture of his two-year old grandson in a hot dog costume during Halloween. All I sell is hot dogs and its sold souly or heavenly because of my grandson.
The Growing Stage To Hold Auditions for Peter Pan
he Growing Stage, The Childrens Theatre of New Jersey, located in the Historic Palace Theatre on Route 183 in Netcong, New Jersey will be holding auditions for its production of PETER PAN the Musical on Saturday, September 1st. From 11:00 AM to 1:00 PM will be for young people 10 to 17, and auditions for adults 18 and older will follow. All auditioning should have a song prepared with printed accompaniment that should be no longer than sixteen measures, be expected to learn a dance piece led by the choreographer and some may be asked to read from the script. The production is under the direction of Stephen L. Fredericks, the Growing Stages Executive Director. Peter Pan, like its namesake, is a tale which never ages. Children and adults alike have all fallen under the spell of Neverland, a place where children can fly and exciting, frightening adventures happen every day. In 1985 Piers Chater Robinson adapted J.M. Barrie's book for the stage, and now, over 25 years later, his innovative Peter Pan musical score is well known and loved. The ever-popular characters are still there - Peter
Pan, Wendy, John, Michael, the dastardly Captain Hook and his sidekick Smee, Tiger Lily, the Lost Boys, pirates, Neverland Indians, fairies, Nana the pet dog and, of course, that scary crocodile. Growing Stage - The Childrens Theater of New Jerseys production of PETER PAN the Musical runs from September 21st to October 14th, with performances on Fridays at 7:30 p.m.; Saturdays and Sundays at 4:00 p.m. The Growing Stage is a professional member of the Association of Actors Equity.

by Donna Casey On June 5, 2012 I was taking a seizure in my van as my little girl watched from the back seat. A man that happened to notice came over, opened my door and removed my keys from the ignition. He then phoned 911, the police and paramedics then came to our aid. The police officer asked my daughter what school she went to in order to contact my husband to let him know what happened and what hospital to meet us at. My daughter was very brave. I am very thankful to know that there are still good samaratins out there. I hope if that gentleman should need a lending hand that one will be there for him. Many thanks, Donna and Erin Casey

Woodfield Estates Offers Affordable Single Family Homes

He says they still have 90 carriage homes left to be built there, which the company may decide to build themselves or sell to another developer. Kaplan sold 24 lots to D.R. Horton, 14 of which already have foundations and 10 that need to be built from scratch. Established in 1952 by his grandfather Nathan Kaplan, Kaplan Companies has built more than 25,000 homes in NJ and other states. Homes range from $100,000 starter homes to multi-million dollar homes, and even rentals. D.R. Horton is ready to move forward with its plans to begin building on the remaining lots at Woodfield Estates. Mt. Olive Construction official Gary Lindsay says D.R. Horton must first get permits on the additional 10 lots sold to them. They need to make the next move, says Lindsay. They need to come in and pay for permits so we can issue them. Hix says, We anticipate selling these homes using our well known trademarked brand in New Jersey, The Grande, and naming this new D.R. community as The Grande at Mount Olive. We anticipate that these homes will be approximately priced from the low to mid-$300s, he says. The home-sties are approximately .11 acres and homes will have the most current offering of standard features and furnishing available. Hix says the homes will range in size from approximately 1,715 sq. ft. to 2,100 sq. ft. with three and four bedrooms, 2.5 baths and two-car garages.
By Cheryl Conway fter five years without development, two dozen lots for single family homes off of Route 46 in Budd Lake are getting ready to be sold to prospective homebuyers. Kaplan Companies of Highland Park, the homebuilder of Woodfield Estates, recently sold 14 of its foundations and 10 remaining lots to D.R. Horton, a Texas based builder. The closing on the deal between the two builders was on Tuesday, July 31. Opening of these lots are expected for late summer or early fall. The new owner of the development could not be more excited. We proudly look forward to completing the remaining 24 single family home sites in the Woodfield residential community in Mt. Olive, says Randy Hix, director of sales and marketing at D.R. Horton, NJ/PA Division. We purchased the remaining home sites because of the great schools in the area and since these lots are some of the best in the community. Many have long range views looking into Hackettstown and towards Allamuchy. Approvals to build the Woodfield Development of 591 single family homes and town houses were granted in the late 1980s, according to an article in the Mt. Olive Chronicle. We had these lots for years, says Jason Kaplan, president of Kaplan Companies. We stopped construction in 2008 because of the softening housing market. Kaplan says they built more than 300 single family homes and 50 carriage homes before building was halted.
We plan to offer an option to add additional square footage by finishing the basement either as a full basement or a walkout. D.R. Horton, Inc. is the largest builder in the United States (as reported by Builder Magazine.) Sales are scheduled to begin shortly, and names are now being taken for the VIP Grande Opening list. Call 855-374-5678 for more information.

Sweeten Your Taste Buds With Candylicious
hen asked about the history of his business, Amish Mike likes to tell a specific story that describes what he feels life is all about. The story takes place while his parents owned the store, and it involves a local family. An older man came into the store on a cold, winter day, and he said that he needed help. He said that his family had no heat, no hot water, and they needed propane gas. Though this was a conversation that they had with many customers this time of year, this situation was very different. The man had no money, and, he said that though he would never normally ask for such a favor, his family was very cold. He said that he would come in and pay when things got better for him. Mike did not know what to say to this man, but he could never say no and there was something in him that Mike trusted. Not knowing if they would ever see the man again, he came into the store after 2-weeks and paid for the propane. He was so thankful and said that he would always remember the kindness shown his family. This customer then went on to be one of Mt. Olive Hardwares best customers for years before moving on with his family. Mike loves this story because it puts life
A Little Bit of Amish in Mt Olive

in perspective, and it truly describes his business philosophy: treat your customers like family and friends. Mt. Olive Hardware opened its doors in 1978, and it has been a part of the Budd Lake community for 34-years. Mike McCort, who owns the store with his wife, a local school teacher, took the store over several years ago from his parents. Mike also grew up working in the store for his parents, and he maintains the same hometown feel that Mt. Olive Hardware has always portrayed. Originating as the local hardware store that always had the piece or part that someone needed, Mt. Olive Hardware has expanded its inventory to include Amish built sheds, pool houses, pavilions, pergolas, gazebos, handmade Amish indoor and outdoor furniture, and various decorative items. Mt. Olive Hardware also still fills propane as it did on that cold winter day all those years ago. Through the years, one of the most commonly asked questions is I need a specific nut and bolt (or piece of hardware), do you have it? And the answer is still Yes right over here. However, Mike has developed a close relationship with each of the Amish shed and furniture manufacturers he works with, and he has acquired the moniker Amish Mike, providing premium quality sheds and furniture. Amish Mike extends an open invitation to visit the store to see all that he has to offer, including the nearly 100 sheds and buildings available on the property. The
store is located at 480 Route 46 West in Hackettstown across the street from Motion KIA, and they are open 7-days a week. For additional information on the sheds and other items, please visit the website at amishmike.com.
Five Years of Quality Work at Budd Lake Auto Shop

Working on cars since he was 15 years old, owner Charlie Wohlleb refers to his shop in Budd Lake as the best transmission shop in the world. Wohlleb says We give fair prices; excellent work at a fair price. We guarantee our work. We treat people how they would like to be treated. We do it right the first time with proper diagnostics without guessing on parts to find the problem. We are honest, continues Wohlleb. We are upfront with the people. We back all our work with guarantees. Through experience, Wohlleb knows how to run the best shop. Wohllebs father had owned a shop in Andover since 1953. Id been working with my father my whole life, says Wohlleb. I did basic repairs. I couldnt take transmission out at first because I couldnt reach the lift, he recalls. But he started out with changing tires, oil changes and basic repairs. Wohlleb attended Sussex Vo-Tech for a degree in Automotive Technology and in 2003 opened a shop in Sparta. In 2008, Wohlleb decided he needed another shop so that is when he opened Budd Lake Transmission Auto Repair. I needed a second location, says Wohlleb. Budd Lake, It seemed like a good place to open up a business. People seemed to be friendly. Wohlleb ran the two shops until Nov. 2011, when he closed his shop in Sparta after the landlord requested his property back. Although the shop closed in Sparta, many of Wohllebs customers have followed him to Budd Lake for continued services on their vehicles. I have a good customer base; loyal customers, he says. One customer, Ive been working on her car for 32 years, since I was a young guy, he recalls. She is 80 years
Tell Them You Saw It In The Mt. Olive News, August 2012, Page 25 old.she always says to me, I remember you when you were a little kid. Working on cars runs through Wohllebs family. Wohllebs son Danny, 23, works with me now and has been for the past nine years. It is one job Wohlleb truly enjoys. I just like working on cars; I like the people, meeting with people, working for people, he says. At Budd Lake Transmission Auto Repair, work is done by three certified mechanics. Work includes all auto repair and services such as brakes, shocks, exhausts, oil changes, engine repairs and air conditioning work. Wohlleb also offers rental car service through Mirage Rental Cars, which he also owns. For the five-year anniversary celebration in April, Wohlleb says he may offer a free Coke to his customers. I collect Coke stuffall Coke memorabilia, he says. Its just something different.antiques, it brings you back to the old days. Everyone remembers when they have a Coke. Hours are 8 a.m. - 5 p.m., Monday through Friday; 9 a.m. - 2 p.m., Saturday. Closed Sundays.

Celebrating its five year anniversary this April 2013, Budd Lake Transmission Auto Repair on Route 46 in Budd Lake, does more than fix or replace transmissions.

From Sand to Turf- New Soccer Field Extends Season

with the winter we had this past year, we will virtually be able to play year-round. Mayor Rob Greenbaum says it improves our recreation facility in a number of different avenues. The turf field will allow significant more use without worrying about ruining the field or wearing it out. Its almost like building three other fields. It allows for greater play; you dont have to worry about rain. With the new turf field, You can run from 8 a.m. to 10 oclock at night. Greenbaum and the township administration had approached the MOSC back in 2011 with the idea of financing the project to install an artificial turf field at Turkey Brook Park. In 2012, the Mt. Olive Township Council approved the borrowing of a million dollar bond to be used for sports. It doesnt mean we will spend that much but its there if we need it, says Greenbaum. We are allowed as a municipality to borrow money. We bond, they (the sports organization) pay us back. The turf field is estimated to cost $500,000, including engineering costs, with all monies being assumed by the MOSC with payments made over the next 23 months, according to Sean Canning, Mt. Olive Twp. administrator. According to Keegan, the bid for the project was awarded at $399,000 to JC
By Cheryl Conway occer players are getting ready to hit the turf in Mt. Olive with the addition of a new artificial turf field currently being installed at Turkey Brook Park in Budd Lake. Construction of the new turf field on Field # 4 began in late July and should be completed by Sept. 8, just in time for soccer season. The project is being funded through a public bond offered by Mt. Olive Township and paid by the Mt. Olive Soccer Club at no cost to the taxpayers.
The addition of a soccer turf field improves Mt. Olives recreational facility, extends the soccer season and also allows for greater play. The Mount Olive Soccer Club could not be more excited to be making this massive improvement to the soccer complex at Turkey Brook Park, says club president Patrick Keegan. A synthetic turf field will allow us to get out on the field and play much earlier in the spring and allow us to play much deeper into the fall without fear of damaging fields for the future. Especially
Landscape Construction of Pequannock. The project will go a bit above that with engineering services, but we wont know that until the project is done. Likely an additional $30,000, he says. The field is FieldTurf Revolution Turf, which provides a consistent surface that can be played on in virtually all weather conditions, says Keegan. We will not have to wait until April to have access. As long as the field has no snow on it, we will be playing on it. Field maintenance will be a shared effort between the township and MOSC, and is a fraction of the cost, time and upkeep of a natural surface, says Keegan. Turf requires minimal maintenance, adds Greenbaum, with most of the work being raking. As far as usage of the new turf field, MOSC has priority on scheduling the field, says Keegan. The public will continue to have reasonable access, as it does now. The field scheduler will be responsible for scheduling the field, and all teams will have access to it. Well used by the MOSC since it was constructed in 2002, field #4 at Turkey Brook Park was a sand based natural grass field that was very difficult to play on, explains continued on page 27

continued from page 26 Greenbaum, who also volunteers as assistant coach for the MOSC Blizzard U11 girls team that his daughter plays on. Field #4 has had irrigation issues since it was sand based. Keegan says, field #4 was originally built as a sand-based field with a drainage network that allowed the field to be played on even after heavy rainfall. However, over the years, that drainage, coupled with shortfalls in the design of the surface made the field almost impossible to maintain. The field drains so well, water passes through it too quickly and drains before the roots can get to it, often carrying vital nutrients with it, leaving the grass always dry and underfed. In the conversion of the grass field to synthetic turf, the drainage system will remain intact, says Keegan. The sand/soil mixture will be removed and replaced with stone. The artificial surface, with a mixture of sand and rubber infill, will be placed on top of the stone creating the new playing surface. The artificial surface will have permanent, sewn-in lines for one large soccer field and two small-sided soccer fields. In addition, the other fields at Turkey Brook Park will benefit because the sand/soil mixture that is being removed from Field 4 will be re-purposed as topdressing to improve drainage on the other soccer fields in the park and save the club a
lot of money in materials that would have otherwise been needed, says Keegan. Raising the funds to pay off the bond should not be an issue for MOSC, says Keegan. MOSC raises funds through generous donations of our members and the local community, as well as major fundraising efforts like our annual Halloween Tournament and Fall Tricky Tray, says Keegan. These funds have always been earmarked to make improvements to the quality of our soccer program, from our earliest days at Centennial Field, to our fields at ITC on Love Lane, to most recently at Turkey Brook Park. MOSC is about to enter its 30th year and I couldnt think of a better way to celebrate than to build a field that our members will be able to use all year round, for many years to come, Keegan adds. The club is planning a Grand Opening Ceremony to coincide with the start of the Fall 2012 season in early September. Registration for the Fall 2012 season is open and can be completed online by visiting the club website at www.mountolivesoccer.com. MOSC is a 501(c)(3) organization, managed completely by volunteers, serving the soccer-playing community of Mt. Olive Township and surrounding areas since 1983.
oreign high school students are scheduled to arrive soon for academic year homestay programs, and the sponsoring organization needs a few more local host families. The students are anxiously awaiting news of their new families. This is the last chance for these young ambassadors to fulfill their life-long dreams, and their placement deadlines are rapidly approaching. The students are all between the ages of 15 and 18 years, are English-speaking, have their own spending money, carry accident and health insurance, and are anxious to share their cultural experiences with their new American families. P.I.E. currently has programs to match almost every family's needs, ranging in length from one semester to a full academic year, where the students attend local public and private high schools. P.I.E. area representatives match students with host families by finding common interests and lifestyles through an in-home meeting. Prospective host families are able to review student applications and select the perfect match. As there are no "typical" host families, P.I.E. can fit a student into just about any situation, whether it is a single parent, a childless couple, a retired couple or a large family. Families who host for P.I.E. are also eligible to claim a monthly charitable contribution deduction on their itemized tax returns for

Town Partners with Landscapers to Improve Median Strips

Brent DiCambio Landscapers is a full-scale property maintenance company that provides a variety of services such as mowing, pruning, fertilizing, landscape design and construction such as stonework, pavers, wall-work and lighting. We do high quality work for the customer if they decide to use us, says DiCambio. We give a lot of attention to the person we work for. We try to stay on top of things. To schedule an appointment with DiCambio Landscapers for a free estimate, call 1-877-Land Art. The second project is the landscaping around the municipal building on Flanders-Drakestown Road to beautify the entrance of the towns building. This project has been contracted with Sean Lavery from Herolds Garden Center in Flanders with work to begin in September, says Pignataro. The third project which is awaiting a landscaper is the Briarhurst area in Flanders near Tinc Road School. Landscaping contractors must be insured and have to agree to maintain the median at no cost to the town, says Pignataro.
In an effort to beautify the town without spending more money, Mayor Rob Greenbaum and township officials have recently devised a program to allow landscapers to improve and maintain median strips while advertising themselves. Approved landscapers are allowed to post signs, printed by the township, in the area of their work as a way of showing off their services. Some local landscapers have been contacted by the mayors office to determine if they are interested in showcasing their work and so far two projects have been approved with another one in the works. Were looking to try to do more with less, says Greenbaum. It shows that we are thinking outside the box. Its not costing taxpayers any money; its benefitting the businesses. Its a win, win. The projects are great exposure for the local landscaping companies. Its almost like a showcase for these landscapers, says Greenbaum. Some of these areas are too difficult for the town to upkeep, says Greenbaum. Our Building and Grounds Department is down two employees from where we were two years ago. We dont have the people; we dont have the money; we have these issues; we have these wants. We are trying to make Mt. Olive more aesthetically pleasing. There are areas that need to be maintained throughout the township that are not on the priority list for the township to maintain, says Greenbaum. It is those areas that Greenbaum is targeting to be maintained by landscapers willing to showcase their work at no cost to the township. The jobs at hand will be open to local businesses first, says Greenbaum, but after that landscapers outside Mt. Olive may be contacted for volunteer services. Every time a contract is entered into with a landscaper, the township council must pass a resolution, adds Greenbaum. The first project, that was approved June 29, is the median strip along International Drive, between Route 46 and Route 206, at ITC South Mall. That project has been awarded to Brent DiCambio Landscapers in Flanders at a cost savings to the town of $14,000 in labor, according to Lisa Pignataro, special projects coordinator. He will correct, redo the old, says Pignataro. Seeding needs to be pulled out and ground needs prepping before any new seeding could be added along that median strip, she explains. In business for 20 years, owner Brent DiCambio agreed to maintain the median strip along ITC South because Im going to give back to the community a little bit. Im going to see how it goes. DiCambio says he will utilize a three-man crew for three hours a week to mow the median strip, which he estimates to be three-quarters of a mile long. He also estimates that the project will cost him anywhere from $15,000 to $18,000 to improve and maintain. Right now there are high weeds overgrown over curbing,, and pretty nasty garbage alongside that median. He plans to cut, edge, tame, clean up and use weed control against weeds, bugs and grubs and will treat it so good grasses take over. He cant do much planting for now, he says, but were going to put planting beds with flower gardens such as annuals in the spring and mums in the fall, hopefully this fall when it gets cooler. We will do more and more with the strip when theres more irrigation, says DiCambio. We will be doing very colorful corner landscapes so they will have something really neat to look at.
By Cheryl Conway edian strips throughout Mt. Olive are getting a facelift at no extra cost to the taxpayers.
It has to be a business that wants to showcase its business without costing the town anything, Pignataro explains. Its a way to showcasing those businesses who dont have a storefront. Signs are being printed by the town at minimal cost that includes the companys logo and resolution number, to be placed on the area being maintained. With these three projects alone, the town has estimated a significant cost savings. ITC alone, if we would maintain it ourselves, it would be over $10,000 a year, says town administrator Sean Canning. The work around the municipal building project, which would include mulch and shrubs, would cost an initial investment of $2,500, with an annual fee of about $1,000 to maintain, Canning estimates. For the Briarhurst area, Canning estimates $6,000 for initial material, landscaping and labor, followed with $3,000 per year to maintain. It adds up, says Canning. Every little bit counts.

Tell Them You Saw It In The Mt. Olive News, August 2012, Page 35 By Cheryl Conway The Mt. Olive Recreation exercise program is keeping up with todays craze in exercise while holding onto traditional styles. The exercise program organized by local instructor Laura Hars recently added the latest form of exercise known as Zumba- a workout system that combines Latin and international music with a fun, cardio dance form of exercise. The class is currently being taught Tuesday nights at 7 p.m. at the Senior Center in Flanders by newly certified Zumba instructor Jennifer Leigh Mackay, 33. Hars added Zumba to her program to provide more variety to her members. The Zumba craze has swept the nation and I thought our program should include this fun cardio class, says Hars. Zumba offers different moves, Latin music and intense cardio. Most of our other classes have some element of weight training. Zumba is pure cardio and lots of fun. It adds diversity to the program, adds Hars. Every class is 60 minutes of non-stop cardio. The movements address flexibility, balance, strength, and cardiovascular endurance. Mackay, who works full-time as an administrative assistant, received her Zumba certification in March by Zumba Fitness at Princeton College. I decided to become a Zumba instructor because I have always enjoyed fitness, exercise and especially dance, says Mackay who was taking Zumba classes for six months before getting certified. I thought it would be great to dance, exercise, sweat and have fun all simultaneously. I also want to encourage and motivate others to live an active lifestyle. There is no hiding Mackays energy and passion as a Zumba instructor. What I enjoy about Zumba is the adrenaline rush I get
Zumba Brings Variety to Exercise Program

dancing to the different beats, styles and tempos and creating my own choreography, says Mackay. I also enjoy learning new moves and variations to the Zumba songs. I also love how it works and tones your whole body. It also gives the class a party-like dance atmosphere. A Colombian dance fitness program created by dancer and choreographer Alberto "Beto" Perez during the 1990s, Zumba involves dance and aerobic elements with choreography that incorporates hip-hop, soca, samba, salsa, meringue, mambo, martial arts, and some belly dance moves. Squats and lunges are also included. The Zumba program has grown to become the world's largest and most successful dance-fitness program with more than 12 million people of all shapes, sizes and ages taking weekly Zumba classes in over 110,000 locations across more than 125 countries. According to Mackay, there are numerous benefits that come with doing Zumba. Zumba tones your body, tightens abs, increases aerobic threshold, creates more stamina, improves muscle tone and balance, increases bone density, less body fat, lowers blood pressure, burns a minimum of 500 calories an hour and its supposed to sharpen your mind and let go of your inhibitions and have fun. While other fitness locations may offer Zumba, members of the recreation program will enjoy Mackays creativity and style. I always try to make my Zumba classes exciting, unique and fun with upbeat music and consistent easy new routines so my class always has something new to learn, says Mackay. I always want my participants to be excited about coming to Zumba as I am always excited to see them. Besides offering the new styles of exercise, Hars also likes to keep some of the more traditional classes such as Step
and Boot Camp. At Mt. Olive Recreation, Step Survives because we offer an intense Step class without the complexity, says Hars. I believe that Step classes die out because people viewed them as too difficult and hard to learn. The choreography was often very challenging. Our step class is designed simply to get a good work out so the intensity is there but someone who has never taken a Step class can come and learn how to step in the first class. We also incorporate toning into this class. Hars says Boot Camp has also increased in popularity across the country. People spend as much as $150 a month to take three boot camp classes a week whereas our Boot Camp is just offered once a week but for no extra charge, says Hars. You pay the $40 or $50 a month (depending on which membership you choose) and you can take it. Our boot camp class is a circuit training class alternating cardio stations and weight training circuits. Each circuit is from 30 seconds to 60 seconds. Typical circuits are jumping rope, push ups, burpees, mountain climbers, suicides, tin soldiers, squats, lunges and weight training circuits focused on particular muscle groups like triceps, biceps, and pectorals. Hars, who used to teach all of the classes, recently brought in four additional instructors to offer various styles to her program. I would recommend Mt. Olive Exercise program because if offers a wide variety of classes that benefit the whole body and different muscle groups, says Mackay. It is also a great opportunity to meet other members, instructors and different teaching styles. Membership is $50 per month or $160 for a four month membership from Sept.-Dec. For more information or to join, call Hars at 973-903-0453 or 973-347-6886; or Mt. Olive recreation at 973-691-0900.

he not-so-recent downturn in the economy has continued to create an onslaught of problems for homeowners. Now more than ever, homeowners struggle to stay on top of their mounting bills, not to mention meeting their due dates on skyrocketing homeowners insurance premiums. Fortunately, there are many ways that homeowners can cut insurance costs without sacrificing coverage. Improving the safety and security of your home is essential in order to reduce large insurance premiums. Homeowners should install fire alarms, deadbolts and a monitored home security system. With monitored security services, the majority of homeowners insurance carriers will provide customers with rate discounts up to 20 percent. Insurance providers know the difference that security systems make in home protec-
Monitored Home Security Alarm Systems Can Help With Savings On Homeowner's Insurance
tion. Studies have shown that a home with Monitored Security is three times less likely to become burglarized, which saves insurance companies (and homeowners) large claims costs in the future. Monitored Home Security may help to protect homeowners from burglaries, break ins, power failures, medical situations, fires and various other problematic conditions and situations 24 hours a day, 365 days a year. While safety and security additions to homes create the largest insurance discounts, there are many other ways to reduce premiums. Homeowners who smoke should consider kicking the habit to avoid large fees and all insurance-seekers should always weigh the option of bundling auto and homeowners coverage for extra discounts. Some insurance carriers offer loyalty discounts for customers who stick around the longest. While staying with a single provider can be economically beneficial and is typically advised, it can be difficult for customers to tolerate some providers outrageous premium increases and the uncomfortable decline in personalized customer service. This is why people should always shop around before selecting an insurance company and make the things that matter most to them a key component of their decision. Some customers prefer the quality and personalized customer service of local insurance agents. Younger insurance shoppers are frequently attracted to competitive low premiums and memorable ad campaigns. Of course, there are other rather obvious things homeowners can do to achieve a lower annual premium, like improving their credit rating and raising their deductible to a higher amount. While increasing deductibles may cause
financial difficulty if a loss occurs (requiring the insured to pay a higher amount before receiving insurance money), it does not affect the protection that the insurance provides. There are many options to lower everincreasing homeowners insurance premiums. However, some choices, like increasing credit ratings are more easily said than done. In desperate times, its easiest for customers to make the small but important home improvements. Adding security features such as deadbolts and home security systems not only helps to secure homeowners and protect the things they value most, but also benefits homeowners during insurance renewals, and at the time of resale by adding value to the property. Monitored alarm services can help offer homeowners the protection they trust and the insurance discount they cant live without.
Edison Electrified Rural New Jersey Towns Decades Before 1935 & Roosevelts REA
sparked the electric lighting era that created power plants to cities worldwide. The widower Thomas Edison returned to rural New Jersey. He married Mina Miller on February 24, 1886 and had his home, lab and factory in undeveloped West Orange, NJ. However, except for the rural New Jersey towns that were favored by these Edisons businesses, most of rural America was left in the dark. Electricity developed two classes of American citizens: those with and those without electricity. Bringing electricity to rural areas was not a profitable venture to investor-owned utilities that only operated compact distribution systems providing service for high customer areas strictly for profit. It would take over 50 years before the sparsely populated countryside of America would see electricity. For many farmers the power that generated farm work and rural family living was either manual or horse drawn. Investor owned utility companies could not be forced to supply rural areas with electricity. The only way rural America would have electricity was for the farmers to bear the cost of constructing their own power delivery system. This was a financial impossibility for a farming community. Without electricity, rural Americans were soon lagging behind socially and economically compared to urban America. It was not until the Great Depression that these regional modernization divides were finally addressed by the nation. President Franklin D. Roosevelt recognized this inequity when executing his New Deal program for the American
by Michele Guttenberger homas Edison had iron operations and cement businesses in Sussex County, NJ. His operations were run on electricity. After closing his iron operations he recouped his losses by opening a lime quarry near Sparta in 1919, which became a more successful operation. The quarry fed Edison's Portland cement operations. Edison saw to it that that this mining community had electricity both at the work place and in their homes. Sparta became one of the first rural towns in the nation to have electricity. In March 1876, after working in Newark for five years, Thomas Edison relocated his base of operations to Menlo Park, New Jersey working out of the two-story structure in rural New Jersey. In the six years at his quiet Menlo Park location, he with his associates obtained over 400 patents. At Menlo Park, Edison radically improved the generator, while developing numerous other devices to measure and improve the production and distribution of electricity. This rural New Jersey town was his think tank location for electrical R&D. After his light bulb invention in 1879, Thomas Edison pushed for an electrical generating station to light up these bulbs. In the early 1880s his quest was to get cities electrified. He took residence close to his Pearl Street station project in Manhattan. His goal was to build the worlds first central electrical generating station. The first block in Manhattan to be lit included the offices of The New Times and J.P. Morgan. The Pearl Street, NY generating station
people. On May 11, 1935, he signed into law executive order 7037 which created the Rural Electric Administration (REA). Rural towns across America would finally get electricity just like rural places in Sparta, Menlo Park, and West Orange, New Jersey that had Edisons electricity decades ago.

e have now been in our present location on 206 in Stanhope for over a year...and what a great year it has been! Our children's dance programs have been steadily growing (Ballet, Tap, Hip-Hop and Tumbling for ages 3 - 12). The students presented 2 in-studio performances in the fall of 2011 and again in the spring of 2012, at the end of each of our semesters. The shows were very well received by our packed house of friends and relatives and the dancers were quite proud and excited, and rightly so! They all did an excellent job and we all had a fabulous time! (these performances are presented free of charge, btw, and last about an hour) So, as you are thinking about fall, you may consider signing your child up for one of our 18 week dance sessions--no contracts no registration fees! (See our ad in this issue for registration dates and times) We have also had increased interest in our adult/teen dance classes. Apparently, there are quite a few of you out there who miss going to dance class...so come join us!
Ballet, Tap, and Hip Hop classes are available for teens through adults. We do like to accomplish new things, expand our knowledge and challenge ourselves...but, we are really just looking to have fun :) So, don't be shy! So what if you're a little rusty?

Tell Them You Saw It In The Mt. Olive News, August 2012, Page 45 league and garners their support. I figured if we had the support of the clergy, the league would flourish, and it has. The second thing I introduced was to take a portion of the annual league fees and designate it as a league benevolence earmarked to help a good Christian cause, one that was not specifically tied to denomination. We alternate between sending our benevolence to Morris Habitat for Humanity and a few of the food pantries in the area. I feel it is very important for the league to be more than just about softball. Yes, we do gather in His name and we share some really good fellowship, but I also want to help others through the league. The current league Clergy[Liason} is Pastor Neil Tolboom from Morristown United Methodist Church. Pastor Neil is a former Wall Street Executive who left the business to become a pastor. He has such a great story and is a huge Christian sports supporter. For many who get on the field, it is a time to just unwind and have funno matter your skill level. Thats where the Fellowship League comes into play. Joe Weston, captain of the Mt. Olive Community Bible Church team talked about the two levels of play in the league: The competitive league is comprised of
Churches: Play Ball!
By Elsie Walker ometimes, those playing a tough softball game might say they could use a few prayers. However, for some teams playing this summer, their games always started with a prayer. The North Jersey Christian Softball League just finished another season. Made up of two league levels, Fellowship and Competitive, the teams consist of people of a variety of ages and occupations. This years competitive league champ was the team from Christ Episcopal Church in Budd Lake. However, it was another story at the end-of-season charity tournament. Defeating Christ Episcopal Church to win tournament was the Valley View Chapel team from Long Valley. However, the league isnt all about winning; its about fellowship, faith, and outreach. Gary Lieberman, the League commissioner since 2001, plays for the Holy Trinity Lutheran team. He talked about what the league is all about: When I took over as League Commissioner, I introduced a couple of new ideas. I appointed a League Clergy Liaison who was the pastor from Holy Faith Lutheran Church. [The liaison] interfaces with the clergy from the churches in the
all guys who grew up playing softball. They play hard and aim to win. At the end of the regular playing season, they have playoffs. The team that wins the playoff games takes a trophy back to its church.

times. The guys are of varying levels of skill and experience. The challenge is to get enough players to consistently show up for games. Its a rare occurrence for a coed team [ Fellowship League], to have enough players for the coach to limit participation only to those who display a minimal stancontinued on page 46

Play Ball...
continued from page 45 dard of ability. So, the only recruiting requirement is that you can swing a bat, not that you necessarily can hit the ball. Another thing about the North Jersey Christian Softball League is the variety of people on the teams. The ages are from teen up. Age doesnt seem to matter; its the love of the game that counts. For example, Commissioner Lieberman, who alternates between pitching and playing second base) shared that he just celebrated his 61st birthday and, I have no plans on retiring anytime soon. Robbie Post, co-captain of the Stanhope UMCPort Morris UMC, is 73. Shes been playing since the team started a few years ago and shared about some of the fun this season brought: This year we didn't get to play full games because we were short on teammates. However, we were thrilled to get to play fun games with the other churches. It was so rewarding to find pleasant people and amazing sports. We got to play all different positions and found that to be a learning experience. At the end of each season, a charity tournament is held. This year, that tournament was held at Smith Field in Parsippany. Five teams competed: Morris Plains Presbyterian Church, Market Street Mission (Morristown), Grace, The Church on The Mount (Netcong-Rockaway), Valley View Chapel (Long Valley) and Christ Episcopal Church (Budd Lake). Each team played four games as part of a round robin format. Valley View Chapel had a perfect day going undefeated during round robin play and then won the championship game over Christ Episcopal 9 - 3. No easy feat as the tournament started 8:30 am and ended seven hours later, with most of it played in 90+ degree heat, said Mark Ruiz, Events Commissioner who plays on the Morris Plains Presbyterian Church team. Monies received from the tournament go to the charity of the winners choice. This year it will go to outreaches support by Valley View Chapel. The fellowship shared by the league participants is of the utmost importance to me. I am thrilled when the Christian spirit shines in each of our games. Its not about winning; its all about gathering and sharing. And if we can do some good and help some folks, then all the better. Through softball many churches have attracted members, helped heal those who are hurting and, actually, in a few cases, had players go on to join the clergy. A few years ago, I was doing some electrical work and called for an inspection. The inspector pitched for one of the teams. So, you never know when youll run into a league member, said Lieberman.
