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 todeck the halls.
The Netcong Borough Recreation Commission has facil-
itated 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-
A Little Competition With Holiday Spirit
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 por-
tion 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 theyear 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 dis-
couraged by this years champions. Each winning contest-
ant 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 for-
get about the Recreation Commissions Halloween
Decorating Contest in the fall.

On 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 certain-ly 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.
"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 JazzPancake Breakfast and Worship Service with Jazz Music
might be a great way to bring our local church and our com-
munity 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.
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 theGreater 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.

There 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 hand-kerchief 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 demon-
strating 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 hand-
made 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 book-
mark
The next day, the event runs 9am 4pm
with adult workshops/classes. Pre-registra-
tion is required.
The Lost Art Lacers is a not-for-profit
group of women and a few men who enjoythe 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 partic-
ipate 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 pur-
chase supplies and browse the lace suppli-
ers wares and take classes and also intro-
duces 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 Daywill happily demonstrate and teach. All of
us bring finished projects or work in
progress to exhibit. We have lots of lace-
making supplies for sale, and lots of demon-
strations - anyone who would like to trytheir hand at various lace techniques is wel-
come 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 tocontinued on next page

Q. Tell me about your prac-tice?
A. I am a neurosurgeon whospecializes in minimally invasiveendoscopic spine surgery at Ex-ecutive Spine Surgery in Hack-ettstown, NJ. I completed twofellowships in complex spinesurgery at Stanford University inCalifornia and interventional andminimally invasive spine surgeryat Semmes-Murphey Neurologicand Spine Institute in Ten-nessee. I focus on treatment ofspinal disorders through pain in-
jections and minimally invasivespine surgery.
Q. What is minimally invasivespine surgery?
A. It is spine surgery with askin incision less than 1-inch,but it is more than just a smallincision. The surgery is donethrough a tube in between back
muscles to decrease muscledamage and weakness causedby muscle retraction. Do notconfuse minimally invasive sur-gery with the term micro-surgery. Microsurgery onlyrefers to the use of a micro-scope not the size of the inci-sion or the amount of muscledamage.
Q. How is endoscopic laserspine surgery different thanminimally invasive surgery?
A. Endoscopic spine surgery
Q. What types of conditionscan endoscopic spine surgerytreat?
A. Treatment is effective forconditions that cause back pain,leg pain, numbness and weak-ness, such as arthritis, bonespurs, bulging discs, stenosis,herniated disc, facet joint dis-ease, sciatica, scoliosis,spondylolisthesis (slippedspine), instability and others.
Q. What are the surgeryoptions?
A. Endoscopic Rhizotomytreats back and leg pain originat-
ing fromfacet
joints andmedial
branchnerves.The me-dialbranchnerves arefound andcut
through the endoscope. Patientsusually have almost immediatepain relief lasting for years. Ra-diofrequency ablation (RFA) onlydamages the nerve and usuallyprovides pain relief for six tonine months. Recovery timeranges from one to three weeks.
Endoscopic Discectomytreats back and leg pain result-ing fromherniatedor torndiscspinchingthe legnervescausingsciatica.The discis foundand removed through the endo-scope, providing quick pain re-
lief. Recovery timeranges from two to 6weeks.
Endoscopic Fusiontreats degenerative diskdisease, spondylolysis(pars fracture), spondy-lolithesis and instabilitythat cause back pain.The disk is removedthrough the endoscope andspinal endplates are preparedfor fusion under direct visualiza-tion.
Endoscopic fusion is doneunder general anesthetic withnerve monitoring to facilitate in-sertion of a cage and spinal in-strumentation. Recovery timeranges from one to threemonths.
Q. Why can you help peopleothers say they cannot?
A. Traditional surgery is lim-ited because the surgeon re-quires direct vision of thepathology with their eye or mi-croscope. The endoscope cam-era visualizes areas that are notusually accessible, through fora-men and around corners. Thisgreater visualization combinedwith less damage and surgicalrisk increases the spectrum ofpathology that can be treatedsafely. This allows treatment ofspinal disorders others say theycannot treat. This happenedmany years ago in orthopedicswith introduction of endoscopeto knee surgery. Today no onedoubts the incredible benefits ofendoscopy of the knee. We areseeing this happen with spinesurgery.
Q. Can you help everyone?A. Not everyone can be
helped or will be satisfied. Thisis still spine surgery. I do sin-cerely believe that in those that
are not improved, the negativeconse-quencesof theopen tech-niques areat leastavoided.Endo-scopicspine sur-
gery is the next advance in thetreatment of spinal disorders.
Q. Why doesnt everyone dothis surgery?
A. These procedures requirea unique combination of skillsthat take time to acquire; it is ahybrid procedure that falls in be-tween interventional pain andminimally invasive spine sur-gery. They are cutting-edge tech-niques. I believe that with timethese procedures will replacemost open surgeries of thespine similar to orthopedic, urol-ogy, general and gynecologicalsurgery. Endoscopic spine sur-gery is the future.
is state-of-the-art minimally inva-sive spine surgery. A microvideo camera is insertedthrough a small incision to thedamaged area of the spine. Thecamera projects the imagesonto a video screen so the sur-geon can easily visualize thepathology. Tiny instruments areinserted through the camera toremove herniated disks, fixarthritis or fuse the spine under
direct visualization. The mediaoften emphasizes lasers butthey are only one of the manyendoscopic instruments.
Q. Why is endoscopic spinesurgery better than traditionalsurgery?
A. Traditional surgery is moredestructive in its approach tothe spine for the problem beingtreated. The larger the incisionthe more collateral tissue dam-age and consequential scar tis-sue that forms. This scar tissuemay result in future difficulties.
Endoscopic spine surgery isextremely minimally invasive,even for minimally invasivespine surgery. The incision isvery small (the size of a finger-nail) and there is minimal dam-age to blood vessels, muscle,ligaments and bone producingvery little blood loss. No generalanesthesia is required decreas-ing medical risks and improvingaccess to surgery for high-riskpatients. These benefits resultin less post-operative pain andquicker recovery.

Freeholder Director Mastrangelo
credits Governor Christie, coun-
ty 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 proper-
ty 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 ben-
efits, and pension reform local govern-
ment was given the tools to reduce
property taxes, and in Morris County
we did.
Morris County has maintained a
strong financial position as demon-
strated 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 gov-
ernment 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 govern-
ment, so we can continue to deliver tax
relief to the residents of Morris
County.

The 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 speciallyoutfitted 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 metropol-
itan 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 manyof the NBC staff, including Al Roker, joined
the Habitat volunteers to help make a differ-
ence.
Right after the storm, the local Habitat
affiliate, Morris Habitat, pitched in by col-
lecting several cargo trucks full of itemsranging from non-perishable food to cloth-
ing 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 therebuilding efforts.
Morris Habitat is also keeping a list of
people interested in working on storm-
affected 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

The last reigning king of Hawaii loved technology
and had futuristic plans for his Kingdom. In1881,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 demon-
stration of electricity at his legendry electric powered labo-
ratory in Menlo Park.
King Kalakaua in 1881 even conceived of the possibili-
ties of geothermal energy that could power this electricity to
his Island nation. He and Thomas Edison conversed about
using the energy from Hawaii's volcanoes to produce elec-
tricity 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 ter-
ritories - 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
In 1886 Thomas Edison Brought Electricity to thePalace of the Last King of Hawaii
Hawaiian Electric Company.
King David Kalakauas use of Edisons latest technolo-
gies 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 phono-graph/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 record-
ing 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 sys-tem 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 phono-
graph-recorder that the last King of Hawaii used in his final
days orchestrated by Hawaii's extraordinary inventive advi-
sor to the king -Thomas Alva Edison.

low and hang out by your side. Currently in a foster home
with other dogs, she gets along great with everyone she
meets. Sophia SCAS is a very alert dog, easy to train, and

Rescue. This 3 year old, Shepherd mix was found neglect-
ed, staving, and abused as a stray. He had been neglected
for so long that he was totally emaciated yet his collar wasso 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. To read more about

Brundage Park Playhouse is pleased
to announce auditions for its upcom-
ing 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 audi-
tion during these times, please contact the
director at [email protected] 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 fami-
ly during a birthday gathering for his father,
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 exhilara-
tion of the play lies in the force of the audi-
ence's identification with its gorgeous hero-
ine.
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 planta-
tion 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
Brundage Park Playhouse: Cat On A Hot Tin Roofhusband'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 eld-
est and least favored son. He deeply resents
his parents' love for Brick, viciously relish-
es 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 (40-
60) - The sober Baugh is Daddy's physician
who delivers Daddy's diagnosis to Big
Mama and leaves her with a prescription of
morphine.

team with Assemblywoman Alison Littell
McHose and Freeholder Parker Space whohave long histories of service to the people
of Northwest New Jersey, Senator Oroho
said.
Running as the Hometown Conservative
Team are:
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 Self-Sufficiency, 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
Hometown Conservative Team Announced by Senator Steve OrohoSenate 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 envi-
ronment 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 per-
spective of being the mother of school-aged
children. After graduating from college,
Alison worked in the administration of
President George H. W. Bush before marry-ing 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 neigh-
bors 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 conserva-
tive 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 serv-
ice and dedication to our residents.

There 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 deli-
cious 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:
Dip apple slices in your favorite nut
butter.
Add thin slices of apple to your deli
meat sandwich, or layer them with PB and J
on raisin bread.
Make your own cracker stackers with
whole grain crackers, your favorite cheese,
smoked turkey, and apple slices.
Add apples to a delicious salad, such as
this spinach and apple salad with dried cher-
ries, which is filled with fiber, vitamin C,
vitamin K, iron and antioxidants.

application for the Youth Make a Difference
Initiative.
