Authors Diana Drew and Robert Grayson took an
inspiring sojourn as they wrote the new book
"Jewish Threads: A Hands-On Guide to StitchingSpiritual Intention into Jewish Fabric Crafts" (Jewish
Lights Publishing). Exploring the intriguing stories behind
each of the book's 30 Jewish fabric craft projects from
throughout the United States and Israel, the authors redis-
covered many of the Jewish traditions underlying hand-
made fabric crafts.
Retrace their steps on the way to this spiritual awaken-
ing at a free Meet the Authors event on Sunday, April 28, at
1 p.m., at the Lake Hopatcong Jewish Center, 15 Durban
Road, Hopatcong. The authors will discuss how they select-
ed the crafts for the book, the spiritual journey they took in
writing the book, and the Jewish traditions that suffusethese crafts.
The book, which explores the world of Jewish fabric
crafts and the inspiration behind this imaginative work,
presents 30 fabric craft projects, created by talented artisans
from throughout the United States and Israel. It also delves
into the backstory behind each of the pieces spotlighted in
the book--how and why they were made and what sparked
the idea for each one. Among the projects spotlighted in
"Jewish Threads" are tallitot (Jewish prayer shawls) and
Torah mantles, shulchan (lectern) covers for the synagogue,
Purim puppets, a knit seder plate, an apples & honey RoshHashanah challah cover, a ChanuCats quilt for Chanukah,
and many more. The book makes a wonderful Mothers
Day gift.
Among the fabric craft techniques represented in
"Jewish Threads" are quilting, needlepoint, knitting, cro-
chet, felting, embroidery, appliqu, needle felting, and
counted cross-stitch.
A section titled "Inspirations" includes stories of five
more projects that inspired the authors to write the book,
including a quilted chuppah (Jewish wedding canopy), cre-
ated collaboratively by members of National Council of
Jewish Women, West Morris Section, of which Drew servesas co-president. She is also an award-winning writer and
book editor. Grayson, a prize-winning former daily newspa-
per reporter and magazine writer, writes books for young
adults.

By Ejvind Boccolini
In an interview last week with Netcong officials, The
Musconetcong News learned about the work being done
to make Netcong the best it can be in terms of being a
viable business environment, and an impressive town for its
residents and visitors.Gina Thomas, executive director of Netcong
Community Partnership (NCP), Netcong Borough
Councilman Robert Hathaway, and Public Relations/
Marketing Consultant Vince Baglivo met for an interview
last week. They explained their approach to the excellent
improvements to Netcong, and its continuing goals.
Thomas said NCP is a organization founded through a
board ordinance in 2001 and it runs the special improve-
ment district. This group focuses on town safety, aesthetics,
beautification, and it fosters a strong business environment
in Netcong. The work that town officials do with NCP is
also helping to create fun events for residents, their fami-lies, and those visiting Netcong.
Councilman Robert Hathaway, who is also Chairman of
Economic Development in Netcong, said the mission state-
ment is all encompassing, with respect to maintaining a
viable business environment, beautification of the borough,
and appealing to its consumers and residents.
He said, officials are working to "create an aggressive
business environment," and offer efficient and expedited
permit processes for business owners coming into Netcong.
Town officials are super efficient with the paperwork that
can get business owners up and running quickly.
This is truly a proactive and collaborative effort to workwith business owners.
And with attractive walkways, sharp-looking streets and
a new, but historic-looking clock in the core of Netcong, the
town is better than ever, and creating a nice environment for
all.
The train station right in the town center allows resi-
dents, visitors, and shoppers to enjoy fine restaurants, the-atre shows and more, all within a very short walk.
Hathaway calls it an all-encompassing enterprise with
the businesses operating as one larger unit. Netcong is
indeed looking great and ready for the continued success it
will enjoy.
Hathaway said, for instance, that he was concerned
about three years ago with the "enormous number of vacan-
cies" with respect to businesses in the town center. He said
there was an "underutilization" of the downtown. He said
his goal was to help create a viable downtown area, and to
"market Netcong."
He also noted that he felt the downtown area was"untidy" and not as well presented as it could be.
Netcong officials have since worked very hard to change
that, and have succeeded.
Flowers grace the downtown area - as well as other
plantings - and street sweeping is regularly performed to
keep the town center clean and impressive looking. Over
time, Netcong started filling more storefronts, and is now
quite a bit more competitive with respect to being a "desti-
nation" for businesses and consumers alike.
Netcong also offers events that support and inspire a
good business environment. The events are considered to be
family gatherings as well, and get-togethers for residentsand visitors.
Netcong, for instance, holds a 5K race as part of Netcong
Day, and several hundred runners participate, as do many
sponsors. There is a street fair, music, and family events all
day. Stores and businesses benefit, of course, greatly from
these events, and town officials feel it brands Netcong as a
destination.Also, a Farmer's Market is held every Saturday, from
June to October, and a Halloween "Trunk or Treat" event is
held in which residents decorate the trunks of their cars for
the holiday, and children get candy all at a central location
in a town parking lot. A Holiday Parade and tree lighting
event is also featured each year, which drawns countless
people.
Also, Save the Lake day is also a event in Netcong which
draws many people to Lake Musconetcong - a lake which
residents and visitors enjoy each season.
These events generate participation and fun in the down-
town area for residents and visitors. It, in fact, "introducespeople to Netcong," said Hathaway, who added that it is
effective, and the "desired result is happening."
These events, and the business approach of Netcong in
general, all add up to "cohesive, collaborative advertising
strategies," that help build a sense of community, and trans-
late to good fun in the meantime.
Thomas, Hathaway, and Baglivo also noted that Sharon
Still - a trustee on the Netcong Community Partnership,
appointed by Mayor Joseph Nametko, has been a great con-
tributor the success of Netcong, as Nametko is himself.
The two were named as important individuals in this
plight to make Netcong an excellent business community

and an enjoyable and attractive town for its residents and
visitors.
"What we're doing is working," said Baglivo, adding that
the number of businesses that are entering Netcong is
"amazing."
He said there is a piano studio, a multi-media perform-
ance center, an upholstery shop, restaurants, a candy store,
a craft center, automotive shops, and more that have entered
Netcong in recent times.
The historic Growing Stage theater, which is well known
for its top-notch, family-friendly programming, has "redone
their whole facade," said Thomas.
This, along with sidewalk and road improvements, are
really adding "momentum" to Netcong.
A warehouse building at the corner of Route 46 and Old
Flanders Road - a former pocketbook factory - will also
soon be renovated and improved into resident ial units. Also,after future discussions, likely either a retail or business
facility will be included at this site.
Best of luck, Netcong, with your continued progress.

Reverend Nick took some
time to ask the boys, and
then other children in atten-

Holy Trinity and where it
can be found. It was a won-

session. He tied his ques-
tions into the readings from
mass and the liturgy of the
word, and this was well
received by all.

Hopatcong High School launched its
online newspaper this fall with its
first publication of the onlineArrow. With more than 30 journalists and
10 photographers, the publication boasts
articles that include sports, school events,
community news and worldwide features.
The Hopatcong Arrow was featured on
WMBC News on February 21, showcasing
its growing success. Melissa Estock, a field
reporter for WMBC, visited the school and
interviewed Superintendent Dr. Charles
Maranzano, newspaper advisor Mrs. Sandra
DeRose, editor Donya Forst and assistant
editor, Molly Bond about their newfoundexperiences with the paper.
Three years ago, the hard copy Arrow
was disbanded after budget cuts affected
many of Hopatcong High Schools electives
and extracurricular activities. With the
papers discontinuance, its sister-elective,
Print Media, drew less students.
When school started in September, the
paper was resurrected, this time as a cost-effective online edition. DeRose asked
Forst, a senior at Hopatcong High School
who had been a member of the Print Media
class and newspaper her freshman year, to
join as editor. In her sophomore English
class, DeRose found her assistant editor,
Bond, who had an in-depth knowledge of
the writing process. They were both eager to
say yes.
Currently, the site, arrow.hopatcon-
gschools.org has about 40 articles on a
range of topics. It continues to grow eachday, as articles can be published immediate-
ly after editing, instead of going to a pub-
lisher. Hopatcong student news is back, and
its here to stay.

A
Netcong High School student who
also is a volunteer firefighter is
among 34 firefighters, police offi-
cers and emergency medical servicesproviders being honored by the 200 Club of
Morris County at the Clubs 41st Annual
Valor & Meritorious Awards Dinner to be
held on April 25, 2013.
Each year, The 200 Club of Morris
County honors local police officers, fire-
fighters and emergency medical services
providers who have gone above and beyond
the call of duty. For 2012, nine incidents
resulted in eight valor awards and 26 meri-
torious awards. An act of valor is an
extraordinary event in which a person putshis or her own safety aside to perform an act
of courage above and beyond the call of
duty. Very often, the persons own life is in
danger. The Meritorious Award also notes
an extraordinary act, but the responder has
not necessarily placed his or her own well-
being at risk.
These individuals truly have put their
lives on the line for the people of Morris
County, said Jack Van Orden, president of
the 200 Club and the owner of Morristown
Tire Co. in Morristown. They put it on theline for us 24 hours a day, 365 days a year.
You dont always think about it, but they
make it safer for all of us and we owe a
great deal of gratitude to them. This is one
small way that we can honor them for put-ting their lives at risk for us. We are so very
happy and honored to be able to recognize
these individuals for their dedication and
service.
Receiving Valor Awards this year are:
Firefighter/Emergency Medical
Technician James A. Blair and Firefighter
Troy N. Pehowic of the Madison Fire
Department. The pair responded to a fire in
an apartment building and entered the build-
ing without a hose line to search for a

cers, who then rendered care.

By Millene Michel
Your three year old does a twirl in
front of the T.V. one day and your
first thought is I should sign her
up for dance classes. Most parents with
little ones dont think about whether their
child will be a recreational dancer, compet-
itive or even a professional dancer. Signing
up for a dance class is more complicated
than most parents realize. Usually dancers
stay at the same studio most of their aca-
demic career. When searching for a dance
class for your three year old, take into con-
sideration the long term of the training.
Does the school offer a wide variety of
classes and different levels? Do the teach-
ers inspire all the different levels? Are the
teachers qualified with years of experience,
certification and training? Are there oppor-
tunities for both the recreational dancer and
the serious dancer? Many children dance
for the pure joy of dancing. They may not
like to be challenged too much or they may
live for a challenging class. Usually, chil-
dren show these tendencies at a young age,
about 6-8. The studio you choose should be
able to recognize the differences and have
something to offer both types of dancers.
These are a few things you should look
for when signing you child up for dance. A
great pre school dance program, preferably
one that offers a variety of dance styles so
your dancer can experience the different
types of dance. As dancers become older,
the dance subjects should be available sepa-
rately as well. Not all children like every
form of dance. There should be opportuni-
ties for the serious dancer. Does the school
have a competition team or performance
group with experienced teachers or coaches
and classes to help the dancer be a success-
ful performer. Choose a school with a long
standing reputation and advanced level
teachers. Eventually, your little one will be
at an advanced level. Can the school or pro-
gram get your child there? The studio
should offer Master classes or outside dance
experiences. This is especially important tothe serious dancer. They need to see what is
outside the studio walls, if they wish to
strive to be their best. Recreational dancers
should have opportunities to shine. Like
performing in a production or winning an
award for their achievements at the studio.
Every child is unique and deserves to be

Getting ready for swimsuit season is easy with a few
small changes to your routine, along with some sat-
isfying and flavorful snacks. By following a few
simple habits, youll be stepping into that swimsuit with a
smile on your face.
Here are 5 easy tips to reshape your swimsuit season
mindset:
Snack smart - When snacking on-the-go, pack a couple
of The Laughing Cow Light Cheese Wedges with baby car-
rots or whole wheat crackers. This satisfying snack will
combat hunger without impacting the results of your hard
work.
Think 50/50 - When making a meal, aim to have fruits
and veggies make up about half of your plate. All of the
brightly colored produce fills you up and packs tons of
nutrients into your diet!
Get inspired - Create an online inspiration board with
workouts, healthy recipes, and your summer wardrobe wish
list. This is a great source of motivation, which will keep
you on track towards a healthier lifestyle, and may even
inspire friends and family.
Stay hydrated - Aim to drink one gallon of water each
day. This will help prevent dehydration while youre out
playing in the sun, plus itll keep you feeling full and keep
those junk food cravings to a minimum.
Mix it up - Try adding a fun, new workout c lass to your
routine, like kickboxing. Or when its nice outside, take a
walk around your neighborhood and soak up some sun!
Trying new and exciting things will bring a smile to your
face while fitting in a workout.
