Dreading the Labor
Day weekend traf-
fic and driving
somewhere to have some
fun? Netcong Mayor JimNametko says that rather
than sitting in traffic come
to Netcong Day.
“There’s something for
everyone and it’s all free,”
he said.Held Labor Day week-
end Sun., Sept. 6, the day
features a 5K Run-Walk, a
music fest, a street fair, a
children’s area completewith bouncy house and DJ
and much more.
The day kicks off with
the Run-Walk at 10:30 a.m.
sharp (registration starts at
8:30 a.m.) on MapleAvenue and the Street Fair
and other activities begin at
11a.m. on Main Street.
Parking is free and avail-
able at the Netcong Train
Station including an amplesupply of specially desig-
nated handicap available
spots set up especially for
Netcong Day events. The
event will be held rain or

The Run-Walk is U.S.

eral age groups. Teams of

they get a number of run-ners from the Tri-State
area.“We’ve had as many as
350 people and rain seems
to bring more out,” said
Nametko, including manyfamilies. He said that one
of the things participants
find special is that the
Lenape Valley Regional
High School cheerleadersare on the Main Street side-
lines cheering everyone as
they go and return.

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 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.

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.

$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
the Assumption, Church of
the Redeemer, Loyola GateHouse, Macculloch Hall,

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:

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.”
The Lake Hopatcong Foundation is a501c3 nonprofit organization that was estab-lished in 2012 and is focused on improving
the lake environment and experience. Tolearn more, go to www.lakehopatcongfoun-dation.org.
