Netcong Fire Department:

105 Years Strong
By Elsie Walker all they had were an old water tank and a

T
he fire trucks stand in the ready and
the firemen’s coats and hats are hung
up nearby. Not many can say that
they’ve been serving others for 105 years;
but the Netcong Fire Department can. On
May 22nd the department will be marking
its 105th anniversary with a celebration
from 1pm – 6pm, kicking off with a parade
that starts behind the Shop-Rite. The Grand
Marshall is Don Bates. The parade ends at
Arbolino Park with food and drink and pres-
entation of trophies to different fire depart-
ments that participated in the parade. Co-
Chairman of the event are Eddie Koster Jr
and Jack Sylvester Jr
The Netcong Fire Department has com-
piled a history which shares events and
milestones which have occurred during its
over one century of service. Here’s a sum-
mary of just a few of the highlights:
The Fire Department was started as a
result of a devastating fire that destroyed
approximately a town block on November
16, 1903. At 4:00am that day, a fire started
which would last until about 7.am. There
was no fire department at that time and so
citizens banned together to fight the fire, but
bucket brigade. The aftermath saw the
destruction of what had been the new por-
tion of the business center on Main Street,
that included The Citizens National Bank,
the pharmacy, post office, lumber yard,
Union Times plan, and one home.
As a result of that incident, the Netcong
Fire Department was created by borough
council ordinance in January 1905. The first
chief was Frank Kithcart and Assistant
Chief was J.A. Roy. There were 60 men in
the department, whose firefighting equip-
ment included a two wheeled hose cart,
pushed by the members, and a locomotive
tire rim (donated by the Lackwanna
Railroad) which was used as the alarm sig-
nal. There was no “firehouse” at that time;
the equipment was stored at the Mansion
House Stables. However, on February 15,
1906 the town opened its first firehouse at
that same location.
During its history, the department has
seen many changes. Equipment and vehi-
cles changed to reflect not only the needs of
serving a growing community, but technol-
ogy. Also, the department grew. A second
fire company, Hilltiop Fire Company No. 2 Doug Vetter and Chris Benvenuto.

At a dinner sponsored by the Sussex County

doing so, received a generous scholarship.
In addition to Benvenuto’s honor, the

Kidworks Summer Camp is Coming
By Elsie Walker runs September – June for ages 6 weeks –

S
ummer is just around the corner and
no one knows that better than
Kidworks of Netcong. The early
childhood learning center, located in the
Stanhope United Methodist Church, is gear-
ing up for summer camp with a host of fun
activities guaranteed to keep children
engaged all season long. Camp starts June
21st and ends September 2nd. It is for chil-
dren 18 months through age 13 and runs
from 7am – 6pm five days a week. The
price is $135 per week of summer fun.
“The price is lowered so kids can still
have fun during these tough economic
times, “ said Kidworks owner-director,
Kelly Murray-Beers.
Each month has a theme. June’s is
“Sports and Games”. July’s is “Under The
Sea”. August’s is carnival and camping,
featuring the 5th annual Kidworks Carnival.
And the activities?
“We’re having fun events come to us,”
said Murray-Beers.
That includes a science discovery pro-
gram by Mad Science of New Jersey, a silly
magician, a clown, and Rizzo’s Reptiles.
Also, there’ll be a weekly Summer
five years.
“I truly enjoy nothing more than watch-
ing an infant turn into a five year old, “said
Murray-Beers. Many of the children at
Kidworks have come as infants and stayed
until it was time to go to Kindergarten.
Owner-Director of Kidworks of Netcong
for 5 1/2 years, Murray-Beers been there
since 1998. She worked her way through
college by working at Kidworks. And, even
though she graduated William Paterson
College as a certified high school history
teacher, she found herself realizing that it
was really young children she wanted to
teach.
“Younger children keep you laughing,”
said Murray-Beers. “They have this thirst
for knowledge. They say ‘Tell me more’
and ask ‘why?’.”
"Welcome to our playhouse," says one little girl in the play yard of Kidworks of Netcong.
At Kidworks, learning is child’s
play…so to speak. Murray Beers shared For more information about its programs, 8875 or visit its website at: www.kidwork-

the matter is, all this is done in a structured,
well-planned setting. The choices made

How Hopatcong’s Electronic Clean Up Day Went Town Wide Viral
By Michele Guttenberger
I
f a researcher wanted to know how
many households use electronic equip-
ment then they should have been at
Hopatcong’s Recycling Center on Saturday
May 1st. The Hopatcong Environmental
Commission promoted an electronic clean
up day to deter electronic junk from being
dumped in empty lots around town. Little
did they know they had sponsored the most
popular event of the town that day? Sheryl

fretted at first that not enough flyers were
circulated throughout the town but she did-
n’t need to worry.
An amazing fact was discovered; large
populations of Hopatcong folk not only read
community newspapers but also visit their
town website to get community bulletin
info. And of course these people own PC’s.
A town noted for its real outdoor lake activ-
ities also has households plugged into their
virtual town community as well. What
Sheryl discovered through surveying folks,
a good majority found out about clean up
day though their town’s website. So, elec-
tronic clean up day got the word out with
electronic flyers and the Hopatcong
Environmental Commission found an addi-
tional broadcast method that worked. As

Community Gathers to Open

Hopatcong High School’s New Varsity Softball Field
tious project. During the discussion phase
of the project, Lakeside Construction
owner, Rich Hoer, offered his services free
of charge to excavate the property, seed the
outfield, clay the infield, build the dug out
area, and get the area ready to play softball.
Rich, a graduate of Hopatcong High School
and town resident, has been a long time sup-
porter of the high school and its athletic pro-
grams. A fundraising committee was then
developed with softball parents Kathleen
Brennan, Laura Mazza, Stacia Stillwell,
Laurie Spaziani, and Debbie Torowpi to
raise enough money to fence the facility.
The Hopatcong School District is proud
to open a beautiful, state of the art facility
that was completely self-funded in these
particularly difficult economic times.

Lake Hopatcong Historical Museum
Gets Much Needed Repairs
By Cheryl Conway
S
ometimes good things do come out of
bad situations – such as the case with
the Lake Hopatcong Historical
Museum.
The museum, which formerly served as a
lock tender’s house on the Morris Canal in
the 19th century, encountered severe flood
damage from the heavy rain storm in
March. Awaiting repairs, the museum will
be closed until August.
In the meantime, the volunteer organiza-
tion that runs the museum through the Lake
Hopatcong Historical Society has reached
730 members who have been “very gener-
ous” in their will to help with the repairs,
according to museum president Marty
Kane.
“We have a lot of volunteer help working
on it,” says Kane, president for the past 15
years. “People have been very generous
with their dues because of the damage.” He
is unsure of the cost for the repairs but says
“it’s going to be sizeable.” Although the
museum building is on state property, Kane
says the historical society has “full mainte-
nance on it.”
The old-stone building, which dates back
to about the 1830’s, has damages on two
outer walls, the roof and sheet rock and
needs a lot of painting. Kane says the storm
was so severe that the heavy rains and wind
blew the roof off.
“Water started coming in from above,”
he describes. “Water came in on all three
floors. It needs some tender loving care.”
Volunteers were able to move artifacts
out of the damaged areas quickly so nothing
was destroyed, he adds.
The Lake Hopatcong Historical Society
was established in 1965 and runs the muse-
um as a private self-charitable organization.
It holds four major programs annually.
The next program is scheduled for
Friday, July 9, to celebrate the 100th
anniversary of the Lake Hopatcong Yacht
Club building. The Yacht Club building
was established on July 9, 1910. The event
is open to members only.
The Lake Hopatcong Historical Museum
– which is free to the public and open on
Sundays, as well as for scheduled events
and schools groups – will reopen once
repairs are complete. Estimated time frame
is August.
The museum, located on the grounds of
Hopatcong State Park in Landing, offers a
look at the history of New Jersey's largest
lake, which used to serve as two bodies of
water and the Lenape lived along its shores;
the building of the famous Morris Canal;
and the forming of modern day Lake
Hopatcong, its main source of water. The
lake served as a tourist area with about 40
hotels and rooming houses along its shores.
Thousands flocked to Bertrand Island
Amusement Park for dancing and “nickel
nights.”

Annual Special Olympics Event Touches So Many
By Kathryn Davis
T
his year’s Special Olympics
Annual Track & Field Event
was held at Hackettstown High
School’s athletic fields on the first
Sunday of May. The event encom-
passed Area 3 participants from
Warren, Morris, and Sussex Counties
and drew athletes, volunteers, and
spectators from communities through-
out the three counties.
What makes Special Olympics spe-
cial? It’s in the programs that help
those with developmental disabilities
build self-discipline, self-confidence,
and the lifelong skills they’ll need to
realize their potential. It’s in programs
like the “SO Get Into It” kits they dis-
tributed to schools worldwide in 2001
to help teach about the value of inclu-
sion, acceptance, and respect. It’s in
the people who volunteer and discover
the rewards that come from helping
others.
Jane Krusman is the Special
Olympics Coordinator for Lopatcong
Township. She understands why it is
so special. She started the program at
her school 16 years ago and now she
has a new goal. “We’re attempting to
get the Cluster to join Special
Olympics, and get each school
involved with the program.” Krusman
says. The Cluster is a group of schools
that send students to Phillipsburg High
School. They include Alpha,
Pohatcong, Greenwich, Lopatcong,
and Phillipsburg.
“I’ve already met all the superin-
tendents at the Superintendents Cluster
meeting,” explains Krusman.
“Greenwich now has two coaches.
They’re now starting in basketball and
in track and field. We’re trying to get
more kids involved.”
Like Krusman, Juanita White
understands the many benefits Special
Olympics offers. She is a teacher at the
Lopatcong Elementary School. This
year she brought three of her students
to participate.
“I started with the school three
years ago, but I had participated with
older children when I was at Warren
Hills,” she recalls. “I love it. It’s a
good outlet for them.”
Alison Pogirnicki and Lisa Roberts
are also teachers at Lopatcong, and are
new coaches this year. Their feelings
about the program are evident in the
energy and enthusiasm they exhibit on
the field with their young athletes.
“Jane came to me my first year
teaching,” Roberts says. “I’ve been
volunteering since I started.”
While the atmosphere at this year’s
event is filled with excitement as
always, White has concerns. “I just
wrote to Congressman Garrett last
night. Funding has been dwindling and
I asked him to support the Eunice
Kennedy Shriver Act.” Lopatcong’s Vicki Pede, Superintendent and Director of Special

including last year’s “A Very Special
Christmas 7” album, which featured popu-
lar recording artists like Carrie Underwood,
Miley Cyrus, and Kellie Pickler, it is still
very dependent upon public support.
Special Olympics started small and has
grown to reach around the globe. In June of
1962, Eunice Kennedy Shriver started a
summer day camp in her Maryland home
for children and adults with intellectual dis-
abilities. Six years later, in 1968, over a
thousand athletes from 26 states and Canada
competed in the very first International
Special Olympics Summer Games, held at
Soldier Field in Chicago. It wasn’t until
October of 2004, however, when President
George W. Bush signed the Special
Olympics Sport and Empowerment Act that
support for Special Olympics programs was
secured through legislation. This year, on
April 29, the U.S. House of Representatives
and the U.S. Senate filed a new bill called
the 2010 Eunice Kennedy Shriver Act,
which would renew funding for Special
Olympics programs. The bill is awaiting
approval by both houses of Congress and
the president.
Special Olympics runs successful-
ly because of the generous spirit of its vol-
unteers. Marisa Del Sordi is the Bowling
Coordinator and a Committee member. She
recalls how a friend invited her to get
involved. “I always wanted to do something
like this, but I never knew it was so easy to
get involved. I’m having fun.”
Zach Anderson and Jason Von Der Linde
are students at Madison High School. They
became involved because of a new club
started at their school. “We just set up the
Special Olympics Club,” explains
Anderson. “Michael Lami set it up as an
Eagle project, and now we’re doing more
events. It’s a good way to spend a Sunday.”
The programs have a positive effect on
everyone, and the athletes eagerly anticipate
each event. “The kids talk about it. One
mom told me her daughter has been count-
ing down the days,” notes Patty Mahoney, a
physical education teacher at P.G.
Chambers School in Cedar Knolls. “These
programs help with socialization and emo-
tional growth. No matter what they do here,
they win. The children inspire me.”
The benefits to participants surpass what
they learn in school. One study by Yale
Tell Them You Saw It In The Musconetcong News •May 2010 • Page 13
University found that participation had a
positive impact on self-image and social
functioning. The study found a marked
improvement in performance at school,
work, and home the longer the participation.
This is all due to the generosity of those
who take the time to get involved. People
who get involved, like the teachers in
Lopatcong, do so by choice. “They give so
much time,” says Vicki Pede, Lopatcong
School Superintendent and Director of
Special Services. “We’re very lucky. People
put in. They stay after school. It’s a good
group of people. They give from their
hearts.”
Teachers like those in Lopatcong,
believe in the importance of these programs
and give their time with enthusiasm. During
these difficult economic times, districts like
Lopatcong reap the benefits of Special
Olympics programs without financial bur-
den. Last year, Lopatcong’s efforts to cut
costs included combining two positions
with the retirement of the district’s Special
Services Director. Pede incorporated that
job with her own, adding two titles to her
job description. “That was one of the cost-
saving measures we did last year. I just
think it was the right thing to do,” she says.
Now staff like Krusman work diligently in
support of Special Olympics. “You don’t
just educate in the classroom,” notes Pede.
This year’s event was particularly diffi-
cult for many committee members, volun-
teers, and families. Brian Marx, who had
been coordinating the track & field event
for over a decade, passed away suddenly a
few weeks earlier. “He did a wonderful
job,” recalls Betty Lunn, Area 3 Director.
“He was a wonderful friend and he’ll be
missed terribly, beyond words.”
For those who have given of themselves,
and for those who are just beginning their
involvement with Special Olympics, the
impact they have on the athletes and their
families is priceless. New Lopatcong coach
Alison Pogirnicki is discovering that for
herself. “You fall in love with the kids,” she
says. “They make all the difference.”

Church See The Start of a Miracle
By Elsie Walker
P
astor Tom Kinter is smiling. He’s seen the beginning
of a miracle. On a Sunday this past December, Kinter
had asked people to bring in pledges for a Miracle
Campaign to keep the doors open at the Stanhope United
Methodist Church. There were several items that needed to
be addressed inside the church and its parsonage Of great-
est urgency had been the need to fix the sinking floor in the
narthex, the only public entrance to the sanctuary. The
night before that December Sunday, there was a snowstorm.
Kinter wondered if anyone would show up the next day
with pledges, but they did. Not only then, but donations
continued to be mailed into the church. Now Kinter is look-
ing down at the new narthex floor. Not only that, but also
off the list is a second chairlift needed to make the church
handicapped accessible.
Amanda Rush, of Netcong, is the church’s President of
the Board of Trustees and Church Historian. She shared
what this new floor means for the church:
“The Narthex floor is, of course, the first thing people
see when they come in through the front door. It was hard
to see the former floor taken up, but really there was no
choice in the matter. When the contractor cut into the floor,
it was found that the block that was under it had turned into
crushed stone over the years. I have heard good comments
from the church congregation in regards to the new floor
placed down. It makes the room look so much bigger. The
next big project will be the Narthex stained glass window
which is bowing out and has a crack in the stained glass.
After that, the church parking lot needs to be tackled. These
as well as the other planned projects are all important
because it shows the care and concern for the grounds and
the building. After all, the building will be 90 years old this
year.”
Not only is the church used on Sundays for worship, but
almost every other day of the week. The church is the loca-
tion for several weekly AA meetings and an NA meeting.
The Musconetcong Historical Society holds meetings there
as well. Also, due to the beauty of its sanctuary and loca-
tion, many people choose to get married there. Special
events are held there as well. Recently, a Miss America pre-
liminary pageant took place there. Due to the variety of
people that come through its doors, it has been a wish to
have the church handicapped accessible. A first chairlift
had been installed which took people from the sanctuary to
the second floor. Now a second chairlift takes people from
the second to the first floor where the Drake fellowship Hall
is located.
Rush noted her thanks to her fellow members on the
Board of Trustees noting that they’ve worked hard on the
Miracle Campaign projects with help on some by fellow
church members. She notes thanks to other, too.
“We thank the members of our own church first for the
donations and installation of the first chair lift and we were
very lucky and most appreciative to Robert and Melissa
Kanapaux, owners of the Morgan Funeral Home, for the
generous donation of the second chair lift. Being handicap
accessible not only means our on senior congregants s will
be able to use it, but those with handicap conditions have a
safer means of getting into and through the building,” said
Rush.
The church holds a special place in the community’s
heart as it has always been there for the community during
its 90 years. It was used for baccalaureate services for grad-
uating Netcong High School students up until the 1940's.
It’s been the place where people have been married, bap-
tized, and memorialized. The church holds an outdoor 9/11
service and has opened its doors as one of the churches
involved in the yearly Good Friday Cross Walk and the
area Thanksgiving Ecumenical service. Now the communi-
ty has shown what the church means to it through its dona-
tions for repairs and this has touched the congregation.
“We are greatly thankful for those who have donated.
Many people say ‘isn't that a beautiful church’ and it is, but
it even nicer to see that folks do care by their contributions,”
said Rush.
The church repairs are off to a good start and Rush hopes
the momentum will keep going.
“This is a three year campaign; we have reached a goal
somewhat. People have contributed in different ways: some
a one time gift, others monthly and still others in their
Sunday mornings giving. The official campaign will end in
three years but, monies will still be needed and possibly
asked for future needs and repairs of the church, so it is my
hope that people don't forget us.” Rush said.
Also, the church will also be holding fundraisers, such as
a clothing drive May 22nd – 23rd from 10am – 2pm ,to
raise funds.
Reflecting on the church and what it means to the con-
gregation and the community, Rush said, “. I was impressed
with a sign I saw a few years ago at a church conference
gathering that said, ‘We stand on the shoulders of those who
came before us; we have faith because they were faithful.’
May we always be faithful to the church.

Bankruptcy- Is it a viable option?

By Virginia Liotta Esq. Furthermore, the availability of a Chapter Seven is income- tation and evaluation. For people struggling under the

W
ith our country continuing to struggle with the
worst economic crisis we’ve seen in seventy
years, it is an option that more and more people
are reluctantly exploring. This is due to the fact that, while
some financial analysts are beginning to see signs of eco-
nomic recovery on the horizon, these hopeful glimmers are
simply too little too late for many people. For these folks,
the protections offered by the code can be life-saving.
The Bankruptcy Code essentially provides two alterna-
tives for consumers seeking relief under its provisions:
Chapter Seven and Chapter Thirteen. Chapter Seven is a
form of relief that involves the liquidation of the debtor’s
assets. In essence, the debtor turns everything he or she
owns and everything he or she owes over to the Bankruptcy
trustee. The trustee then determines if there are any assets
specific. As a precursor to pursuing relief under this
Chapter, an individual must apply a calculation entitled the
“Means Test” to determine whether their income exceeds
the allowable amount for his or her household size. If his
or her income exceeds the guidelines, he or she may not
qualify for a Chapter Seven.
Unlike Chapter Seven, a filing under Chapter Thirteen
does not involve a liquidation of the debtor’s non-exempt
assets. Rather, a Chapter Thirteen involves an adjustment
of the debtor’s obligations under a repayment plan, which
typically lasts from three to five years. Payments are made
directly to the Bankruptcy trustee, who in turn pays the
creditors an adjusted share of the repayment. Unlike debt
consolidation plans negotiated directly between the creditor
and the debtor, the consent of the creditor to the modified
weight of their debt, it is well worth remembering that
bankruptcy is a remedy provided by our government in
recognition of the fact that, sometimes, people simply need
a fresh start. Seek the advice of a professional to determine
if you qualify. You may be entitled to the protection the
Code provides.

available to liquidate in order to satisfy a portion of the
creditors claims. Ultimately, a Chapter Seven concludes
with granting a debtor a release from all dischargeable debt.
While this may seem a drastically unappealing option at
first blush, it is important to realize that not all of the
debtor’s assets are subject to liquidation. Under the terms
of the code, some assets are exempt. For instance, in New
Jersey, an individual debtor may retain up to $20,400.00 in
equity in their home and still qualify for a Chapter Seven
discharge. For married debtors filing jointly, this exemp-
tion is doubled. Similarly, the Code provides exemption
values for both essential and non-essential items such as
vehicles and jewelry. Thus, the debtor is permitted to retain
a specified interest in both real and personal property and
still qualify for relief. It’s important to note, however, that
all debts are not dischargeable. The debtor remains respon-
sible for taxes and most student loan obligations.
repayment is not required. While a creditor may object to
the proposed terms, the creditor must ultimately accept the
terms of a plan that has been confirmed by the court. At the
expiration of the repayment term, the balance of the debt is
discharged. A Chapter Thirteen is an option for individuals
whose assets exceed the allowable exemptions under the
Code. For instance, an individual whose home equity
exceeds $20,400.00 would find a Chapter Thirteen a more
attractive option to Chapter Seven liquidation. Because this
option utilizes repayment of debt, it is frequently employed
to bring a delinquent mortgage current. However, In order
to qualify for a Chapter Thirteen, the debtor must have a
regular source of income in an amount that will support
both the debtor’s regular expenses and the repayment obli-
gation.
Every individual’s financial situation involves a com-
plex interplay of variables that requires professional consul-

Thomas Edison’s DC Versus Nikola Tesla’s AC and the Death of Topsy
By Michele Guttenberger
E
ven today there is still debate over who was the bet-
ter inventor Thomas Edison or Nikola Tesla. On
June 6, 1884 Nikola Tesla a brilliant 26 year old
Croatian arrived at Edison’s New York Machine Works to
work as an electrical engineer. His brilliance took him from
simple engineering to lead designer in redesigning the
Edison Company’s direct current generator. Thus, in 1885,
Tesla believed he was now an indispensible asset and
expected Edison to make good on his promises. Tesla
claimed Edison offered him $50,000 (equal to $1.1 million
today) for his work in solving the company's most difficult
problems. Edison’s scathing response was, "Tesla, you
don't understand our American humor," discounting any
implied agreement. This ignited their bitter feud and the
grand debate between Edison’s DC Direct Current and
Tesla’s AC Alternating Current. It became a power contest
of the late 1890’s. From this there would emerge two pow-
erful electric companies. Edison became the godfather of
General Electric while Tesla’s technologies were purchased
and promoted by railway air brake inventor George
Westinghouse whose company ultimately evolved into the
multinational Westinghouse Company
Edison argument against AC power was so prolific that
the feud had presented a nasty side of Edison. Shrewd at
marketing and public relations, Edison set out to find a liv-
ing example on the dangers of AC power. He found what
he was looking for in an ornery circus elephant named
Topsy. The circus was anxious to permanently terminate
Topsy from future circus performances. The Coney Island
Luna Park Zoo’s elephant had a long Rap Sheet. She had
squashed three handlers in three years. Park officials want-
ed a hanging but the SPCA objected on humanitarian
grounds. But thanks to Edison, on January 4, 1903 Topsy
succumbed to 6,600-volts of AC charge. Of course the
press was there to note the lethal effects of Alternating
Current and a killing process Edison snidely coined as “get-
ting Westinghoused”.
One could argue that from a scientific perspective
Nikola Tesla’s acumen surpassed Edison’s. But, the world
does not judge success by technical acuity alone. Edison’s
inventions appealed to the practical consumer world. He
had an outstanding business acumen but most of all he had
the ability to form long term friendships and alliances with
the major players of his day Edison’s lifetime legacy was
1,093 U.S. patents while Tesla had received only 112. Tesla
alienated his key endorsers in the end. Tesla’s behavior was
obsessive-compulsive in nature having many unusual
quirks and phobias. He did things in threes, and insisted that
his hotel room number was divisible by three. Tesla died in
debt and alone of heart failure on January 7, 1943 in room
3327 of the New Yorker Hotel.

Summer Art Camp: “Art At The Barn”
By Cheryl Conway
W T
ith a variety of camps being offered this summer,
choosing the right one may not always be as obvi-
ous as a mark on a page. But at Art at the Barn in
Long Valley, students can take introductory lessons to see if
the camp is the best fit for them.
Art at the Barn is a new local art camp on Drakestown
Road that will “exercise your imagination,” says
owner/instructor Dorothy Jaretsky. Introductory lessons
will begin on Wednesday, June 2, through Wednesday, June
30.
“The single lessons I am offering in June are a great way
to find out what Art at the Barn is all about before commit-
ting to a 4 or 8 week program,” explains Jaretsky. If the stu-
dents are pleased, they can enroll in a summer session
which will be held from July through August.
Children ages six through 17 will be invited to sign up
for the classes which last 1 hr and 45 minutes. A mix of
techniques and materials - a “wide variety of media” such
as pastels, colored pencils, pen, ink, collage, and water col-
ors - will be provided and explored.
Jaretsky’s theme is Exercise Your Imagination. “I’m just
going to keep them moving,” says Jaretsky. “It is like exer-
cise. You have to practice. I will be assigning them differ-
ent exercises to do. Art is expression. I want to keep them
moving so they can discover skills that they never knew
they had.”
At Art at the Barn, students will be surrounded by ani-
mals at the farm such as dogs, cats, goats, bunnies and
ponies as well as scenery of gardens and flowers.
“They’ll be outside exploring the farm. They’ll be intro-
duced to all of the animals. It will be an inspiration for their
work.”
Jaretsky plans to limit the class size to six students so
Tell Them You Saw It In The Musconetcong News •May 2010 • Page 23
“I’ll be able to discover skills they never thought they had,”
she says. “Children have a natural ability in them; I’ll be
exploring their natural abilities.”
Jaretsky, a mother of two school-aged children, earned a
bachelor in fine arts in graphic design from William
Paterson University in Wayne. For the past 18 years, she
had worked as a product designer in the home furnishings
industry.
She is looking forward to her new role as art instructor,
especially at Art at the Barn, because of her love for animals
and children.
“I really enjoy working with children and art and design
so much,” says Jaretsky. “It has been a lifelong passion and
a lifelong skill. It is going to be a very fun, friendly and
encouraging atmosphere. They’ll make new friends and
they’ll discover ways to express themselves” through art.
“You just need to have an enthusiasm for art,” continues
Jaretsky, who will also offer semi-private lessons to more
advanced students. At the end of the summer sessions,
Jaretsky plans to hold an art reception for students, friends
and family to display their best works.
Art at the Barn won’t be just a summer fling. Jaretsky
hopes to continue her program during the school year by
offering six-week sessions after school hours and on
Saturdays.
Introductory lessons in June will be held twice daily on
Mondays and Wednesdays, 4 p.m.-5:45 p.m. or 6:15 p.m. –
8 p.m.; and Saturdays, 10 a.m.-11:45 a.m. or 1 p.m.-2:45
p.m. The four and eight-block sessions will be held the
same days and times in July through August. Register by
June 15.

Funds Needed for Lake
Musconetcong Herbicide Treatment
he Lake Musconetcong Regional Planning Board
(LMRPB) is seeking contributions to help defray the
cost of pre-emergent herbicide treatments designed
to curtail the growth of water chestnuts and other invasive
species that are threatening the existence of the lake.
The herbicide treatments – which have no negative
effect on fish and native plant species found in the lake –
are designed to kill the seed pods and kill the water chest-
nuts before they emerge.
The water chestnuts began appearing in the lake last year
and the lake board attempted to control them through the
use of a mechanical weed harvester as well as through
hand-harvesting. The mechanical harvesting process has
been deemed ineffective because the seed pods fall to the
bottom of the shallow lake and re-emerge as quickly as they
drop. Additionally, the harvester can only access about 30%
of the lake since much of it is too shallow for the machine.
Hand harvesting, done last season by local volunteers, is a
slow process and is only temporarily effective. The growth
last year was significant enough that it formed a thick mat
over large portions of the lake. Left untreated, it is likely
that the water chestnut will travel into the Musconetcong
River and eventually into the Delaware River.
The herbicide treatment is being funded by the Lake
Musconetcong Regional Planning Board, local municipali-
ties bordering the lake, and by contributions from local res-
idents.
Individuals and businesses interested in contributing to
the project should e-mail LMRPB chairman Earl Riley at
erieley@ptd.net or mail contributions to Lake
Musconetcong Regional Planning Board, PO Box 308,
Stanhope, NJ 07874.
