It provides eligible students the opportuni-

ty to utilize time in the final year of high

school to gain purposeful experiences thatwill help them get on track for their

futures.

Specifically, the program allows seniors

who are nearing or have completed their

graduation requirements and have a

proven record of performance and motiva-

tion to intern with local businesses in anunpaid internship, thereby earning course

credit. This structured learning experience

is supervised, not only by the employer but

also by the high school facilitator; regular-

ly-scheduled site visits are made per the

Department of Labor.New Jersey Core Curriculum Standards

emphasize creating, maintaining and

encouraging diverse and multiple paths for

student success. SCIP provides career-

focused, work-related experience andHopatcong High School is more than

pleased to aid in that success.

complete the application process and be

approved for entry into the program.

Selected students will then partner with a

business within his/her possible careerinterest, leaving the high school later in the

day and reporting to the internship. Career

internships are designed to give students

clarify career goals; explore career possi-

bilities; develop employability skills; and

make the transition between school and

employment or further education andtraining.

The rolling hills of Modick Park were

rocking with the sound of a profes-

sional DJ spinning rock and roll and

hip-hop, punctuated with delighted squealsand giggles of children bouncing down

two inflatable waterslides.

Sat., July 11, was Hopatcong Day, a

daylong celebration of all things in

Hopatcong Borough.Local organizations take the opportuni-

ty to set up tables and talk about their mis-

sions.

Among the most enthusiastic are the

members of the Hopatcong Community

Garden, led by Jen Barone.

The garden’s table lured kids almost asmuch as the water slides did because it was

festooned with all things ladybug. The

CSG was adopting out ladybugs as a

fundraiser. The ladybugs were puffy mag-nets, but the group had a release of real

ladybugs at 6:30 p.m.

The beneficial insects eat aphids which

are harmful to many of the crops in the

garden, Barone said.

The bugs released came from

California, she said.

“Somebody out there raises them. We

paid for priority shipping so they wouldn’tsit in a truck somewhere. They’re stored in

a fridge so they remain dormant. Then we

hydrate and release them. We spray them

with water and lemon/lime soda which

they eat, so they stay in the neighborhood,”she explained.

The garden has 46 plots and about 200

members. Both a Girl Scout and Boy Scout

troop help and the garden is the subject of

its second Eagle Scout project. Connor

Maitland of Troup 91 is constructing a newgarden plot and an arbor.

Opposite the Community Garden tent

was the township Environmental

Commission staffed by Jule Girman and

Georgia Schilling.Hopatcong is waiting for its Sustainable

Jersey certification from the state

Department of Environmental Protection,

Girman said. At Hopatcong Day they were

trying to raise awareness of invasivespecies. Most people know about the water

chestnut problem in the lake, but there are

some land-based plants that cause prob-

lems as well, including Japanese

Knotweek, Clematis and Stillgrass,

Schilling said.Another township group is CERT.

Although they got their biggest workout

during Hurricane Sandy, the emergency

response team also assists with missing

person searches, first aid, clerical work andeven weapons searches. It was CERT

members who discovered a sword that had

been thrown from a car during a police

pursuit.

The Girls on the Run tent featured some

big news. Valerie Quinn, who has beencoaching the Girls on the Run team is

recruiting for Hero Boys, a similar youth

development and engagement program to

Girls on the Run. Quinn, who will be

coaching Hero Boys in the fall is lookingfor third to fifth grade boys. Costs will be

minimal to the families thanks to funding

from the Hopatcong Municipal Alliance.

June Seal will coach the girls and is look-

ing to arrange Girls on Track, for oldergirls who want to run.

The Hopatcong Ambulance Squad is

looking for more members, Henry Sardina

III, treasurer of the group said. Both new

rigs were parked near the tent. Sardina said

the new ambulances feature up to dateequipment, including power stretchers

which are a big step toward prevent back

injuries among volunteers.

Good friends Desmond Tediashvili and

Kayleigh Scalzo proudly show off their adop-

tion certificates. The kids adopted ladybugs

that were released at the Hopatcong

Community Garden after Hopatcong Day.

The Morris County Freeholders haveawarded a $192,500 grant to the LakeHopatcong Foundation for its efforts

to purchase and maintain the historic integri-ty of the century-old Lake Hopatcong train

station.The board presented a replica check to

the Foundation at a special ceremony inLake Hopatcong recently to call attention tothe efforts to preserve this structure, which

played an important role in the region’s his-tory.

Former Freeholder David Scapicchiowas in attendance to present the ceremonialcheck to the Lake Hopatcong Foundation.

“Efforts like these help preserve the his-tory of our county for future generations,helping them understand the past and, hope-fully, using that knowledge to make ourcounty a better place in the future,”

It’s nicknamed, “TheChurch in The Glen.”Many people refer to it

as the beautiful stone church

by the river. It is theStanhope United MethodistChurch in Netcong.

As Netcong resident andchurch member Leigh AnnVon Hagen said, “Thechurch is a very recogniza-ble landmark in theNetcong/Stanhope area. Itdoesn't matter if you haveever attended services orevents at the church to rec-ognize its aesthetic and his-

toric value to the surround-ing communities. It's a placewhere we can share the veryspace in which generationsbefore us lived.”

Those sentiments wereechoed in a presentationmade in late July at a MorrisCounty Board of ChosenFreeholders meeting held inNetcong. There, Morris

County's historic preserva-tion program coordinator,Ray Chang, briefly talkedabout the church and its con-gregation’s efforts to secure

grants to preserve the build-ing.

With the help of MorrisCounty HistoricPreservation, grants totaling$195,823 have beenreceived and the church hassuccessfully completedtower and window renova-tions so far. Members of thecongregation and its pastorwere in the audience asAmanda Rush of Netcong,

the president of the church’sBoard of Trustees, accepteda plaque for the church not-ing the preservation effortsand the Freeholders role inthem.

The plaque reads: “ThePreservation of this HistoricSite has been funded in partby the Morris County Boardof Chosen Freeholders

through the Morris CountyHistoric Preservation TrustFund.”

Rush, who is also churchhistorian, recently shared a

little background on thechurch and the preservationeffort. She said, “The churchbegan in 1834 as LockwoodMethodist Episcopal Churchwhich was on Route 206 inByram Township. Now, thecemetery is all that is leftthere. In 1843, the StanhopeMethodist Episcopal Churchbegan on Linden Avenue.Then, in 1920, the newStanhope Methodist Church

began in Netcong, as whatwe endearingly call, ‘TheChurch in the Glen.’ [Asfor the preservation of thechurch], we started in 2011with the Preservation Planwhich is when the church isgone through to see the con-dition of it and what needsor repairs are required.Also, before you can apply

for a grant you need to belisted as a historic site, so wehad that done as well.”

That effort resulted in thechurch being entered into

the National Register of Historic Places and the NewJersey Register of HistoricPlaces by The County of Morris HeritageCommission and the NewJersey State PreservationCommission.

As for the grants, thosepay for 80 percent of thework done and the churchmust raise the other 20 per-cent. The 2015 grant is for

the south façade. Rushnoted that the scope of workincludes replacement of copper flashing in kind,removal/replacement of terra cotta tile, selective rak-ing/ repointing of mortar

joints, replacement of dete-riorated wood trim andremoval/ reinstallation of the gutter and leader as nec-

essary. Rush noted that thechurch hopes to have the

work done by Sept. 2017.She said, “The grant is

good for two years. If thework is not completed inthat time-frame , we can askfor a one year extension.”

During the JulyFreeholder meeting, Changcommented on the beauty of the church building which isin the Gothic Revival style.

He also shared what thatbuilding means to the com-

munity as its anchor, whichhouses a food pantry, pro-vides a meeting place forAlcoholics Anonymous andthe Girl Scouts, plus muchmore. He praised the con-gregation’s effort to pre-serve it.

When Rush took thefloor, she acknowledged

Lake Musconetcong sits in the shadow

of its bigger neighbor in many ways.

Lake Hopatcong is the famous resort

lake, scene of boat races and wakeboardingand waterskiing and jet skiing and antique

boat shows.

Both lakes are good for fishing. But Lake

Musconetcong is small, shallow and under-

appreciated by those who don’t know it

well.Those who do know Lake Musconetcong

do appreciate it: the fishing, the birds, and

the ability to go out on a small boat on a

quiet lake. And a passionate corps of volun-

teers are keeping the lake clean and free of weeds.

The Lake Musconetcong Regional

Planning Board along with the Lake

Musconetcong Community Association

work hard to keep the lake clean. Bothgroups have members from the four munic-

ipalities that touch the lake. Most of the

shoreline touches Netcong, Stanhope and

the Port Morris section of Roxbury

Township, but a tiny stretch is Byram

Township, the section “left over” when

Hopatcong (then Brooklyn Borough) seced-

ed from Byram on April 2, 1898.

Earl Riley, chair of the regional planningboard, has become the champion of Lake

Musconetcong. He spent the Stanhope

Street Fair in June at the LMRPB table with

some fish caught by children in the fishing

derby that morning, attracting visitors to histable.

“Forty kids caught more than 100 fish,”

he said.

Riley isn’t shy about speaking of the

lake’s problems. European milfoil was an

issue this year but was treated within aweek. The board uses 2-4-D herbicide

against milfoil and water chestnuts. It is an

oil-based herbicide.

The planning board owns one weed har-

vester and has another on loan from theLake Hopatcong Commission.

About 90 percent of the lake can be har-

vested with the big harvester owned by the

planning board, Riley said. That boat went

in early in the season. The smaller one

entered the lake in late June. The averagedepth of the lake is 4.5 feet, he explained.

The small harvester can get within five to 10

feet of the shore.

Because the large harvester is owned by

the planning board and the smaller one is onloan to the board, volunteers can operate it.

The Lake Hopatcong Commission, because

of the way it is constituted by the state, can-

not use volunteers to operate its harvesters.

Riley runs the large harvester most of thetime. “We are scheduled nearly every day,”

he said. Harvesting will continue until mid-

Sept. The harvester occasionally picks up

fish, snakes or turtles which the operator

throws back. Unless it’s a snapping turtle.

“Then we stop the conveyor and reverse it tosend the snapper back into the lake,” Riley

explained. “We stop the boat so the turtle

can swim away without our wake.”

“We have little floating islands of water

lilies,” he said.Another thing Lake Musconetcong has is

a lot of swans.

“They chase the geese,” Riley said.

The reason Lake Musconetcong exists is

the same reason Lake Hopatcong exists as

one single lake, the Morris Canal.When the Morris Canal and Banking

Corp. was chartered in the 1820s, the dam atwhat is now Hopatcong State Park was con-

structed to provide water for the canal that

stretched from Phillipsburg to Jersey City.

The dam caused two smaller lakes to form

Lake Hopatcong. A second dam down-

stream on the Musconetcong River createdLake Musconetcong and more water for the

canal.

A portion of the canal is still visible

downstream from the Lake Musconetcong

dam and the towpath and its environs makeup a small park.

Morris County’shistory is on view

on main streets

and secluded byways and

the county’s commitment to

preserving the evidence of its past is well known.

The Board of Chosen

Freeholders recently

announced the historic

preservation grants awarded

on the recommendation of the Historic Preservation

Trust Fund Review Board.

Roxbury Township his-

toric sites are beneficiaries

of all three categories of grants: restoration, acquisi-

tion and planning.

The Lake Hopatcong

Foundation received

$192,500 toward the mort-

gage and restoration of theLackawanna Railroad

Station at Landing, pur-

chased by the non-profit in

November, estimating

$450,000 would be needed

to pay off the loan and

restore the building. About

$150,000 was already raised

toward that goal, accordingto Donna Macalle-Holly,

grant coordinator for the

foundation.

The station is set to be

used for meeting and displayspace as well as providing

roomier offices for the

Foundation, Board

President Martin Kane said

at the first board meetingheld there.

“We’re really glad the

county had the confidence in

us to award the grant this

cycle,” Kane said, callingthe old station an “iconic

structure.” He said restora-

tion work will begin by the

end of summer. Structural

problems with the station

will be addressed first.

In addition, the station is

on the Morris Canal

Greenway.

The other grant recipi-

ents in Roxbury Township

are in the LedgewoodHistoric District.

The King Homestead

will receive $95,648 for

foundation repair and

repointing, siding restora-tion and floor framing rein-

forcement. It is an 1881

Queen Anne style residence

constructed for the propri-

etor of the King Store, ageneral store that served

early Ledgewood. The store,

the King House and the

Silas Riggs Saltbox house

(which was moved duringthe construction of the for-

mer Ledgewood Circle) are

adjacent in the historic dis-

trict.

Scott Fullerton of the

Roxbury Rotary which has

been working on the build-

ings in the Ledgewood

District for about 20 years

said the grant would be used

for the front porch. The

porch is original to thehouse, he said. About 10

years ago the Rotary struc-

turally supported the porch

and replaced some spindles

and rails, Fullerton said. Hesaid the paint on the porch

floor is original.

The work on the porch

will be done by Douglas

Schul, a painting contractor,at no charge. Matt Oras of

the local Sherwin-Williams

store will donate the paint.

Fullerton said a lot of

people from the township,Rotary Club members and

historical society volunteers,

will help with the project.

The Ledgewood Baptist

Church, also on Main Street,

is receiving a grant to com-

The ornate lighting fixture in the foyer of the Landing Railroad

Station.

The Gothic Revival churchwas built in 1917 by the

Gallo Brothers.

The borough of Florham

Park received a similar grantin 2014 to prepare docu-ments for reconstruction of

the roof of the Little Red

School House, the bor-

ough’s symbol. This year,

Florham Park received

$74,000 toward the roof

replacement, according to

Patrick Dolan of the bor-ough Historic Preservation

Commission.

The schoolhouse was

built in 1866, Dolan said. As

a one-room schoolhouse in apoor, rural area a far cry

from the Florham Park of

today, it would have had a

cedar shake roof. A replace-

ment was put on at least 30

years ago, Dolan said, and itis dry, brittle and cracked.

“We’re worried about

leaks,” he said. The building

is operated as a museum by

the Historical Society.“The new roof should

last 40 years,” he said,

adding, “there is huge vari-

ety of cedar shakes, the

grain, how they are preparedand pre-treated.” The roof

will need occasional mainte-

nance, something that wasneglected on the old roof,

although the boroughDepartment of Public Works

does generally does a good

job maintaining the munici-

pally-owned site.

The historical society

maintains its collections andthe garden club does plant-

ings and Christmas decora-

tions, Dolan said.

The schoolhouse is openonce a month and on specialoccasions.

“Our current mayor con-

siders it his duty to maintain

the school,” Dolan said, not-

ing the borough had to comeup with a 20 percent match.

The schoolhouse is on

the borough’s flag, police

cars and everything that says

“Florham Park.”

“It ties to farming and

our simple, rural roots,”Dolan said. “It wasn’t

remuddled, it has grass sur-

rounding it in an area withlittle green space.”

On the other side of thecounty, the Obadiah

LaTourette Grist and Saw

Mill in Washington

Township received $52,000

to continue a long-term

restoration project.The mill is on Route 124

in the center of Long

Valley’s National Register

Historic District. Themoney is to complete apreservation plan update

and construction docu-

ments. The documents relate

to spillway arch repair, sid-

ing and window installation,exterior painting and com-

pletion of the flooring on the

second and third floors.

The county awarded a

total of $3.5 million in

grants this year with others

going to such county iconsas the Museum of Early

Trades and Crafts in

Madison.Morristown received the

most money, $900,087spread over 10 different

projects, the county’s press

release revealed. These

were: Acorn Hall, Church of

Terry Cook, of Appleton Productions in Long Valley,loves the 1950s, enough that he has found a way toshare it with others for one magic time each year.

Cook is the host of Lead East, known as the World’sBiggest ‘50s party. The event boasts 1,800 classic cars, plus

the movies, the dancing and music of the 1950’s. This yearthe event will be held from Sept. 2 – 6 at the ParsippanyHilton. Admission fees and event schedule information canbe founded at www.leadeast.net.

In starting Lead East 33 years ago, Cook revolutionizedcar shows east of the Mississippi by making his into a festi-val. He explained that he has always loved custom cars. Upuntil Lead East, car shows were events where people juststood around and looked at cars. That was it. Cook wantedto have something different. The first Lead East was held atthe Flemington Fairgrounds. Cook utilized a sound systemto add music to the event. Taking advantage of nearby ven-ues, participants could go to a drive-in where car shops on

skates came to take your order and Cook rented out a drive-in theater and showed the1950s classic, “Rebel Without ACause.”

What about the title, Lead East (pronounced as “lead”meaning the metal)? Cook explained that refers to what was“used to fill in the seams in custom cars” before fillers likeBondo.

Later, as the event grew and changed locations, it addedanother revolutionary element: the cars on display areparked on concrete, not dirt. Traditionally, car shows hadthe cars parked in fields or dirt lots. Cook’s venue appealsto those who take care with their classic cars.

Another thing that makes Lead East different than other

car events is that the fun never stops.“Most car events end around 5 p.m., but [that’s when]

we’re just getting started,” said Cook.Since the early days, times have changed and the event

has evolved, but one thing stays the same. It is a family-friendly event that shares the fun of a more innocent age.

“Every year of Lead East there’s been drive-in movies,”said Cook. At the Hilton, a drive-in theater area is rigged inthe parking where this year people can see the classic“Return of the Creature (from the Black Lagoon),” AlfredHitchcock’s “Dial M for Murder” and “Bwana Devil.” Allare in 3D and Cook notes that during “Bwana Devil” itseems like spears are being thrown at the audience.

Cook shared that a joyful moment for him at a past LeadEast was when a father shared that it was not only the firsttime his young son had seen a drive-in movie, but one in 3D.

Of course, Lead East would not exist without cars. Thefirst Lead East had about 660; this year 1,800 cars from 1972and earlier are expected. They come from at least 20 differ-

ent states including Texas, Rhoda Island, and Florida. Someparticipants will stake out grass islands in the lot, decorateand lay claim to them with names such as Tiki Island, RhodeIsland Island, etc.

The sounds of the ‘50s will fill the air with 21 bands, DJ’sand Doo Wop groups appearing during the event. This yearthose sounds will include “Rave On,” a group from Unionthat does the music of Buddy Holly, Roy Orbison and oth-ers. There will also be the a-cappella group, TheWhiptones, made up of college students from Whippany.New this year, for an extra fee, spectators can attend a FridayNight Dance party with a five piece band, The Greyhoundsfrom Poughkeepsie, teamed with the well known DJ, the

Golden Gup. The Whiptones will also perform then as well.Although it is focused on the ‘50s, Lead East doesn’t for-

get the present and its needs. There will be a 50/50 to ben-efit Make-A-Wish. Last year’s winner went home with

almost $20,000. There will be a collection for Toys for Tots.The Military Transport Association will be set up among theoutside vendors in front of the Hilton. All toy donations col-lected will be delivered to the U.S. Marine Reserve Unit atPicatinny Arsenal to be distributed during the holiday seasonto needy children in the North Jersey area. Finally, as is tra-dition, Cook will “pass the hat” when he welcomes peopleto the different Lead East concerts. What is collected goes tothe Salvation Army.

Cook said that when people have asked him about whathe does, he reflects and says ”One weekend a year I makeabout 10,000 old people really happy.” Actually, Lead Eastis an event that makes all ages smile.

The Whiptones, an accapella group from Whippany, will

be performing at this year's Lead East.

Teams For Kids Foundation is a non-

profit organization that enables chil-

dren from homeless and low income

families within New Jersey to participate inrecreational sports programs.

The foundation is the brain child of AbbyBauer, a senior at The Pingry School in

Basking Ridge and a resident of Long

Valley.

“I started the organization last summer,

which is when we received our 501 (c)(3)nonprofit status,” Bauer said.

The foundation is still growing and mold-

ing to the needs of the children residing in

shelters and temporary housing facilities in

Morristown, but the success stories areflooding in of kids who are now provided

with the opportunity to participate with their

peers in recreational sports programs.

For Bauer, the start of the long yet

rewarding process of running a nonprofit

organization began while she was volunteer-ing at Homeless Solutions, a homeless shel-

ter and low income housing program in

Morristown.

“I’ve been kind of running a children's

program there since I was 12-years-old,”

Bauer said. “Two summers ago I was run-

ning my children’s program at the shelter

and we were making s’mores and playingkickball with the kids at the shelter and this

10-year-old boy named Giovanni

approached me with his baseball glove and

asked if we could have a catch and so I said

sure. We threw the ball back and forth a fewtimes and I realized that he had a really great

arm and he could toss really well so I asked

him if he played on a little league team and

he said he wished he could.”

Later in the day, Giovanni’s momexplained to Bauer that families at the shel-

ter couldn't afford to put their children onrecreational sports teams because they need-

ed to save money for rent and living expens-

es when they left the shelter.

“That kind of just resonated with me andit really bothered me that he didn't have the

same opportunity to play sports that I had

and so many other children have, so I really

wanted to help kids like Giovanni to have

this opportunity which is why I started the

Local Teen Helps Kids Join Sports Teams, Asks Businesses To Contribute

Teams For Kids Foundation,” Bauer said.Bauer and the foundation distributed

their first grant of $2,500 to Homeless

Solutions in March. Teams For Kids thengives the money to Homeless Solutions and

they allocate it to the needs of the families

living in the shelter.

“We have had some success stories so

far,” Bauer said. “I know for a fact that cur-

rently there are four kids signed up to play

sports who have utilized the funds for equip-ment and for team registration and things

like that, so the funds are constantly being

used.”Included in the updates that Bauer

received from Homeless Solutions were sto-

ries of a boy who was able to join a track

team and placed fifth at a meet, a boy who is

not only signed up for football in the fall butcontinued on next page

who already has his equipment ready and, according to

Bauer, is clearly excited. And a girl in middle school who

was able to join her school’s track team because she wasable to purchase the required running shoes.

While the foundation is still in its early stages, there are alot of fundraisers happening right now, as well as planned

initiatives to happen in the near future.

Currently, there are two initiatives that the foundation isrunning. The first one, Teaming up for Kids, uses donated

money to created ‘Team Up Kits.’ Inside of the kits is

fundraising material and through a partnership with the

Morristown Recreational Department, they are being dis-

tributed to children on these teams who can raise money and

spread awareness.The other initiative is called the Teams For Kids 2015

Corporate Challenge. Bauer and the foundations are asking

New Jersey businesses and corporations to get involved withthe Teams For Kids Foundation. The process is simple: an

employee registers the business online and picks a datebefore Labor Day where all employees dress down or wear

their favorite sports jersey and donate five dollars to Teams

For Kids. The money can be sent via mail to Teams For Kids

Foundation, Inc. at PO Box 33, Schooleys Mountain, NJ,

07870-0033, or submitted online. Participants can also take

a group photo of their "corporate team" and send it to TeamsFor Kids Foundation so that they can share it on their

Facebook page, website, and blog.

Two future fundraising events include an in-store event in

September at Alex and Ani in Princeton where from 6 p.m.

to 8 p.m., 15 percent of all proceeds are being donated to the

foundation; and an event in October where the foundation ispartnering with Morris United Soccer. There will be a Teams

For Kids day with various activities for kids and many dif-

ferent ways to raise money for children in the community.

According to Bauer, it’s going to be hard to find a balancebetween her senior year of high school and being the back-

bone of this foundation but she’s willing to give it her all.

“It’s easy in the summer because I have a lot of free time

so it’s kind of my priority, but I know that during the school

year I’m going to have to find a way to balance it,” Bauer

said. “Even if it’s just kind of allocating an hour a night totake care of emails or donations or things that need to get

done for the foundation. But I’m probably going to prioritizeschool.”

For Bauer, this foundation has turned out to be more than

she thought it would.“It’s definitely much bigger than I imagined,” Bauer said.

“It’s a huge part of my life and I’m just really proud of

everything we’ve accomplished.”

those who had helped with the preservation effort. She rec-ognized the efforts of Leigh Ann Von Hagen, who assistedin writing the grant requests, but could not be there thatnight.

“Her help in all of this has been great and greatly appre-ciated,” Rush said. Rush noted the patience of the churchtrustees during the grant process. She acknowledged Chang,who she called, “a gem.”

Thanks was also given to the architecture company, con-gregation and those people who graciously gave donationsto continue the work for the Raise the Roof campaign, whichhelps fund the church’s 20 percent of the monies needed todo the preservation project.

Rush ended by mentioning her mother, Marion, who wassitting in the audience. Rush said that Marion and thechurch building have something in common: they will bothbe 95 years old in October. Also, Marion Rush was the first

baby baptized in the church.Later, the church’s pastor, Lynn Zaremba, reflected on

the plaque presentation.“With the assistance from the grants, Stanhope United

Methodist Church is able to complete the necessary repairsthat keep this historic building safe and beautiful,” saidZaremba. “As people drive through our community and seethe ‘Church in the Glen’ they are reminded of days gone byand the history of Netcong. We are very fortunate to have anopportunity to receive the grants that keep Stanhope UnitedMethodist Church in the beauty and grace of its historic era.”

During this busy timeof year, it’s easy tolet nutrition slide.

That’s why it’s important tohave healthy snacks ready totake with you so you cankeep your energy up whileyou’re on the go.

Choosing wisely will letyou get the most out of your

snacks. For example, soy isa complete plant protein thatcontains all nine essentialamino acids needed forhuman growth and health,and it’s lower in saturated fatand higher in fiber thanother animal proteinsources.

Beyond nutrition, choos-ing the right snacks can help

and add 2-4 tablespoons olive oil followed by potatoes andpinch of salt and pepper. Begin frying until golden brownand crispy, approximately 3-5 minutes. Once potatoes arecooked, add beaten eggs and cook until scrambled. Turn off heat and add cheese.

Slice steak thinly against grain of meat.Place flour tortillas in microwave 30 seconds or long

enough to lightly warm them.Portion egg and potato mixture evenly between flour tor-

tillas followed by sliced steak and approximately 1-2 table-spoons salsa and serve immediately.

Make Snack Time Count keep hunger at bay so youcan focus on shuttling fromone activity to the next.Research has shown that soyfiber and protein – found insnacks such as edamameand many nutrition bars –keep you feeling full longerand help you avoid thetemptation of sugary on-the-

go foods filled with emptycalories.

“When my customers arelooking for snack ideas, Iadvise them to layer protein,fiber and carbohydrates,”said registered dietitianPeggy Balboa, a supermar-ket nutritionist withMariano’s grocery stores inChicago. “This is key tofeeling full longer, and soy

has it all. For example,adding half a cup of soy nutsto trail mix can provide fourgrams of fiber, 18 grams of protein and 15 grams of car-bohydrates. Choose ingredi-ents from the grocery bulksection, add the mix to a

snack baggie, and you’llhave a grab-n-go snack for amid-afternoon energyboost.”Some nutritious ideas:

• Make your own trailmix, filled with a combina-tion of salty and sweet fla-vors and a blend of texturesto satisfy your cravings.

Pretzels and nuts, such assoynuts or roastededamame, add a deliciouscrunch, while dried fruitsand berries lend a softersweetness.

• Protein-packed ver-sions of your favorite cere-als are now on the market,and they are great to throwin a baggie for a snack oradd as a granola topping on

yogurt.• Raw veggies can be

easily carried in a baggieand while they taste greatcold and crunchy, you canenjoy them at room temper-ature, too. Experiment withdifferent flavors for variety:

zucchini, squash and broc-coli are all tasty choicesalone or dipped in low-fatdressing or hummus.

• For the kids, get cre-ative and make snack timeenjoyable. Serve little onesa variation of ants on a log,filling celery sticks withsoynut butter before placing

the raisins on top, whichmakes for a school-friendlyoption without nut aller-gens.

• Smoothies made withsoymilk, soy yogurt or tofuare a fun way to get yourprotein and key nutrients onthe go. This smoothie takesfive minutes to make andpacks 12 grams of protein,along with a healthy kick of

vitamin A, vitamin C andiron.

the festivities made it an extra special day inthe life of the Lake Hopatcong Foundation.”

Shortly after the event kicked off, threemembers of the Lake Hopatcong Protective

Association, which dates back to the early1900s, made a presentation in which theydonated more than $18,000 to the LakeHopatcong Foundation as part of an effort to

join forces for the betterment of LakeHopatcong. The LHPA grant reflected theamount that remained in its accounts afteryears of fighting for the protection of thelake’s waters. The foundation agreed withthe LHPA to earmark the money for thefoundation’s water quality and water safetyinitiatives.

The train station building, which bordersLanding Road and the New Jersey Transitrailroad, was constructed by theLackawanna Railroad in 1911. The LakeHopatcong Foundation is in the process of developing a preservation plan through theservices of the historical architectural firmConnolly and Hickey, and will then worktoward rehabilitating the building to be opento the public as an event space, a centrallocation of lake information, and the offices

of the Lake Hopatcong Foundation.“We are so thankful not only to have the

support of so many in the community, asreflected by those who attended our

fundraising event, but also to be able to part-ner with the Lake Hopatcong ProtectiveAssociation for the betterment of the lake,and with Morris County for the rehabilita-tion of the train station building,” Murphysaid. “And now we just hope to keep mov-ing forward, celebrating and improving thelake for this wonderful community andregion.”
