Record Summer Concert Season at Camp Jefferson
by Art Bonito, President,
Jefferson Highlights
Community Television
A
wesome talent,
record-setting
crowds, tasty food,
and an “electric” ambiance
contributed to the great suc-
cess of the 2009 Camp
Jefferson summer concert
series. The largest audi-
ences in the three-year his-
tory of the Amphitheater
were entertained by a varied
group of performers.
New events included the
Nerds making their first
appearance at the venue, an
Irish music and dance con-
cert, and a children’s puppet
show. Some returning
favorites from past years
were Beatlemania Again,
Johnny Cash and Elvis trib-
ute concerts, and the
Ponytails. The series ended
with a spectacular visual
concert featuring the
Amphitheater’s most popu-
lar group during all three
seasons, the Poets.
Adding to the great
appeal of the groups were
affordable ticket prices
along with special discounts
for seniors and children 8-
15. A big draw this past sea-
son was free admission for
all children through age
seven when accompanied
by a ticket-holding adult.
This allowed patrons to
attend live professional
events for no more than the
cost of an evening at the
movies.
Entire families, includ-
ing grandma and grandpa,
enjoyed the concerts togeth-
er. This special venue com-
bines the “home town feel”
with stage presentations,
lighting, and the audio and
visual effects of profession-
al performers who appear at
major arenas and theaters
around the country.
The Camp Jefferson
Amphitheater fills a niche
as an upscale entertainment
venue that is sorely needed
in northwest New Jersey.
The great volunteer staff
members treat all ticket-
holders with a personal
approach, as though they
were attending a private
show. Special needs are
addressed with respect. The
audiences are not just num-
bers on tickets, but individ-
uals who are taken care of
like part of the family.
If you are looking for a
driving destination on a nice
fall day, visit the
Amphitheater at 81 Weldon
Road, Lake Hopatcong, N.J.

looked like on seven sum-
mer Saturday nights with

Public Announcement From The Borough of Stanhope
T
he Borough of Stanhope has recently received infor-
mation from an Environmental Consultant hired by
the Borough that silt and sediment located in the
Morris Canal along Main Street in Stanhope contains a low
level of contamination that does not pose either an immedi-
ate health hazard to the public or an environmental risk.
The Borough wishes to inform the public of how the
Borough became aware of the contamination by this press
release.
On August 15, 2007, a large underground drain pipe
erupted in a municipally-owned parking lot adjacent to the
Stanhope Fire House, causing a large sinkhole. The drain-
pipe conveyed water through the Old Morris Canal past
several properties in the area of the Furnace Pond to the
lower reaches of the canal. When the sinkhole originally
occurred, it was believed that the drainpipe might belong to
the State of New Jersey as the successor to the Morris Canal
and Banking Company. However, a title search revealed
that the pipe had actually been deeded to the Borough in
1966. The gate allowing water to flow from Lake
Musconetcong into the canal was closed by the State Park
at the request of the Borough. The sinkhole and the pipe
were temporarily repaired, the canal was drained of water
and has remained drained of water since that date due to
concerns about the pipe’s integrity if filled with water.
The draining of the canal revealed a substantial amount
of debris, both natural and manmade within the bed of the
canal from Route 183 to its lower reaches. The Borough
sought approval from the New Jersey Department of
Environmental Protection (NJDEP) to clean the debris from
Tell Them You Saw It In The Musconetcong News • October 2009 • Page 9
the canal bed. In September 2007, a written request was
sent by the Borough to NJDEP for a pre-application meet-
ing concerning the cleaning of the debris from the canal.
From September through November 2007, representa-
tives of the Borough and NJDEP corresponded with regard
to permits that would be required of the Borough in order to
clean out the canal. After receiving public comments on the
canal, the Borough decided to explore a more ambitious
project to both remediate and rehabilitate the canal. The
revised project would include not only cleaning out all of
the debris but also removing a substantial amount of silt
that has accumulated in the bottom of the canal over many
years to restore the depth of the canal to its historical level.
The Borough Engineer prepared plans and specifications
for such a project and submitted a joint application with the
State Park to NJDEP for the necessary permit in April 2008
to allow the Borough to both clean and rehabilitate the
canal. The Borough received the permit from NJDEP on
August 12, 2008.
The Borough budgeted $50,000 for initial efforts in the
canal restoration project in the FY 2009 budget. In
February 2009, the Borough further applied to the NJDEP
for a loan/grant request to the New Jersey Environmental
Infrastructure Financing Program to provide funding to
repair the drainpipe which caused the initial problems. The
Borough is hopeful of receiving a response in the near
future from the State as to its loan/grant application as part
of the effort to remove the sediment from the Morris Canal.
As part of the plan to undertake the restoration of the
Canal and to remove the silt and sediment, the Borough was
required to hire an Environmental Consultant to take sam-
ples of the sediment in the canal to confirm that the sedi-
ment could be disposed of as simple clean fill. Samples
were taken from the canal in August 2009. The Borough’s
Environmental Consultant submitted a written report to the
Borough dated August 31, 2009 that a low level of contam-
inants was detected in several of the samples taken from the
sediment in the canal bed. The contaminants detected were
lead and organic compounds. Based upon the results, the
Environmental Consultant’s opinion is that these contami-
nants were contributed from street runoff.
The contaminants are in a stable state, pose no immedi-
ate health hazard to the public nor any immediate environ-
mental hazard either. However, the sediment containing the
low level contaminants will need to be disposed of at a reg-
ulated disposal facility rather than as clean fill, which will
substantially increase the cost of this portion of the canal’s
rehabilitation. A final cost for the removal of the sediment
will be determined upon an accurate measurement of the
amount of sediment to be removed and obtaining prices
from qualified disposal sites for the disposal of the sedi-
ment.
The Borough is committed to continuing to work on the
rehabilitation of the canal in a fiscally responsible manner
to restore the canal for the public’s use and enjoyment as
soon as possible. As funding is acquired for the project, the
Borough will proceed with both the repair of the drainpipe
and the removal of the debris and silt from the canal to
restore the canal for public recreational purposes.

Cat fever spreads to Netcong
By Cheryl Conway
T
he method of Trap Neuter-Return (TNR) of feral cats
is getting catchy as hopes for the new project spreads
from Mount Olive to Netcong.
The two neighboring towns held their first adoption day
on Saturday, Sept. 19, at the Country Lakes Animal Clinic
in Mine Hill.
“Within the first 45 minutes, all of the kittens were
adopted,” says Denise Rieben, organizer of the proposed
TNR project in Netcong. Cat lovers from various towns
such as Weehawken, Hackettstown, Stanhope and Lake
Tranquility were the lucky ones to adopt the 10 kittens and
one of the four friendly-adult cats.
Five of the kittens were from Netcong and the other five
were from Mount Olive along with the adult cat, according
to Michelle Lerner, coordinator of the Mount Olive TNR
Project. The event was so successful that organizers have a
waiting list of people willing to adopt at their next adoption
day.
“It was like a stampede,” says Lerner. “I’ve never seen
anything like it.”
Adopters paid $55 to People for Animals in Hillside to
spay/neuter their kittens. Dr. Kimani Griffith of the Country
Lakes Animal Clinic offered to host the adoption day since
he has served as Rieben’s family veterinarian for the past
four years.
“He’s been wonderful,” says Rieben, a 10-year Netcong
resident. Griffith examined each kitten to make sure they
were healthy enough to adopt out and he plans to offer dis-
count office visits for stray kittens and cats through the pro-
posed TNR project in Netcong, according to Rieben.
“It was just so nice that he helped us this way,” she says.

Rieben has been trying to organize a TNR program in
Netcong and met with the town council in September. A
decision by the council is expected some time this month,
she says.
Through TNR, stray cats are trapped, neutered, vaccinat-
ed, ear-tipped, micro-chipped and then returned to their
environment to be monitored by volunteers. Currently, nui-
sance stray cats in Netcong are caught by an animal control
officer, held for seven days and then euthanized. The same
method had been used in Mount Olive until Aug. 4, when
its town council unanimously approved an ordinance for a
permanent TNR program.
In Netcong, the greatest population of feral cats dwells
at the Netcong Heights apartment complex. The apartment
manager has been covering the fee to allow Rieben to trap
these cats to have them spayed/neutered, vaccinated and
ear-tipped. Since July, Rieben along with an experienced
trapper has trapped 60 out of about 180 adult cats and kit-
tens from nine of the 36-building complex.
She has been allowed to trap these cats at Netcong
Heights since the complex is privately owned. Rieben,
however, is not allowed to trap throughout the town such as
at dumpsters or restaurants until the council passes an ordi-
nance.
Rieben’s goal is to organize a committee like in Mount
Olive to run a TNR program in town. The project would
save taxpayer’s money since it cost $171 in Netcong to hold
and euthanize each stray cat, as opposed to $55 to neuter,
vaccinate and return each cat.
“I have such a passion for cats and kittens,” says Rieben.

CS Gymnastics Celebrates It’s 25th At National Gymnastics Day

E
ach year USA Gymnastics sponsors
a National Gymnastics and Fitness
awareness day. September 12, 2009
marked this year’s special event along with
the
25th Anniversary of CS Gymnastics in
Flanders. In honor of this memorable day,
the coaches and staff of CS Gymnastics
sponsored a Family Fun Day, full of excit-
ing activities to try and watch. Throughout
the afternoon many children came by to try
their skill at the Tyson Fitness Stations, face
painting, zooming down the 18’ inflatable
slide, bouncing along the Tumble Track
trampoline, swinging from rope to rope, and
dancing to the tunes of the DJ. Meanwhile,
parents with big smiles took advantage of
the generous prize drawings donated by
local vendors to benefit the Children’s
Miracle Network in our area. The CS
Silhouettes and Shadows team members
also donated their skills as they participated
in a Cartwheel-a-thon to raise funds for the
same children’s charity After many cart-
wheels and donations, the team members
were able to send a substantial gift to help
out the local chapter of the Children’s
Miracle Network. All in attendance were
thrilled to watch the Free Runner Shadows’
exhibition, Zumba dance, Mace the
Magician and gymnastics routines by the
home team gymnasts. Before the day was
over, all who came to celebrate had enjoyed
a great afternoon of fun, and were inspired
by all they saw to “be stronger, go faster,
and jump higher in gymnastics and
beyond”.

Comfort Zone Camp: A Fun and Safe Place For Grieving Children
C
omfort Zone Camp is the nation’s largest bereave-
ment camp. The camps are offered free of charge to
children ages 7-17 who have experienced the death
of a parent, sibling or primary caregiver and are held year-
round in California, Massachusetts, New Jersey, Texas, and
Virginia.
Comfort Zone is set in a rustic camp environment to get
kids away from the distractions of the real world and create
what we call the “camp bubble.” Within the camp bubble,
isolation is broken and turbo-bonding happens because
everyone else has lost a loved one too. Kids are given the
opportunity to play, share their stories, build trust and
friendships, and receive validation from their peers that
whatever they are thinking and feeling is okay. All of this
leads to an increase in self-esteem, and a good time.
Tell Them You Saw It In The Musconetcong News • October 2009 • Page 13
The camps combine grief counseling with traditional
camp activities. A very unique aspect of Comfort Zone
Camp is the one-to-one pairing of children (“little buddies”)
to adults (“big buddies”). Many children come to camp
“attention-starved,” as surviving parents or guardians are
understandably preoccupied with their own grief. The big
buddies serve as the campers’ anchors, mentors and friends.
“Bigs” are screened and trained in grief counseling tech-
niques and carefully matched with campers of the same
gender who share the same interests
At Comfort Zone Camp, kids are given:
A place to tell their stories and feelings – Throughout the
camp, kids meet in small groups called Healing CirclesSM.
The Healing CirclesSM are broken down by age and are led
by licensed grief therapists who interact and support the

Zone Camp, Sept. 11, 2009.
campers all weekend.* Within the Healing CirclesSM,
campers are allowed to talk about their loss – a subject often
taboo in the real world where people don’t get it, and are
uncomfortable hearing about it. Healing CirclesSM also
work together to do trust and team building activities.
Validation from peers – At camp, kids get a chance to not
only share the story of their loss in their own words, but just
as important, they get to hear other kids’ stories as well.
They receive validation in what they think and feel, support
each other and quickly learn that they are not alone.
Opportunities to say goodbye and remember loved ones
– Most kids did not get the opportunity to say goodbye to
their loved ones. Funerals are designed for adults to say
goodbye, but there is often no official venue for kids. Our
memorial service does this very thing. The campers sing
songs, read poems, do skits, and more, in tribute to their
loved ones. Parents and guardians are encouraged to attend.
We also provide opportunities for our campers to remember
their loved ones throughout the weekend through writing,
art and group activities.
Tools to help them after camp – Grief never goes away,
and we recognize that kids will have tough days outside of
camp. We work to prepare our campers for the tough times
that will come, and give them tools to help make those days
more manageable. We discuss and model healthy coping
skills, including ways to stay connected to loved ones
through the years.
FUN – Kids often become miniature adults after experi-
encing the death of a loved one. Comfort Zone Camp allows
kids to get back to being kids again, and have fun! There are
times for kickball, football, hiking, arts and crafts, s’mores,
songs, games, and more.
Founder Lynne Hughes lost her mother at age 9 and her
father at age 12. She understands first hand the isolating
feelings and struggles that a grieving child experiences.
After working with the organization, Motherless Daughters,
Lynne and her husband Kelly, decided to open Comfort
Zone Camp. Ten years later, CZC is a place where kids feel
safe, they can have fun, they can openly talk about their
loved ones and their feelings. After camp, kids leave camp
with lasting friendships and a new community of support
that will be there for them year after year—the Comfort
Zone Camp community.
Please Join Comfort Zone for their 4th annual New York
area fundraiser and 10th Birthday Celebration, Wish Big.
This November 12th at Tribeca Rooftop 6:30pm-10:30pm.

freezing cold just kills me.” She is planning
on having shelters built for them to help
keep them warmer.
TNR, “it’s the humane thing to do; it’s
the right thing to do,” says Rieben. “They
deserve a chance. They do not deserve to be
picked up, dropped off and euthanized.
They’re not hurting anybody. It cost $171 to
kill a cat and $55 to fix one. All of that
money you are saving can go into some-
thing else for the town.
“I love the trapping,” continues Rieben,
who plans to become a certified trapper this
month. Rieben became interested in TNR
through The Mount Olive TNR Project. She
has been working with Lerner, who attend-
ed the Netcong Council meeting last month
to educate members about TNR.
The two women have been working
together in each other’s towns to help foster
kittens, hold the adoption day and maybe
plan another one for later this month or
November.
Lerner says she would like to have
another adoption day for adult cats.
“We have some incredibly sweet adult
cats that we’d love to adopt out,” says
Lerner.
Since mid-August, the Mount Olive
TNR Project has handled more than 60 cats
and kittens, says Lerner. Of those strays, 18
have been adopted out and about 10 have
been transferred to other rescue groups. Six
adult cats are currently available to be
adopted.
“We’re already significantly reducing
the number of colonies that we’ve been fix-
ing,” says Lerner.
About 30 volunteers are part of the
Mount Olive TNR Project. Donations, grant
money and adoption fees have been sup-
porting the costs for TNR but more funds
are needed.
The group was planning a bake sale out-
side the Mount Olive Shoprite on Oct. 3 and
a yard sale at the grassy area of the After on
Route 206 on Saturday, Oct. 10. A fundrais-
ing dinner at the Flanders Firehouse will be
scheduled for January or February 2010.
Any businesses, homeowners or com-
plex managers wanting to remove stray cats
through the TNR process can call Lerner at
973-584-5890 or email her at lerner-
michelle@aol.com.
For those who would like to help but are
unwilling to foster or adopt a cat, sponsor-
ing is also an option.
It costs $30-$60 to fix, vaccinate, and
microchip a feral cat, plus costs for food
and shelter, says Lerner. Sponsor a cat by
donating $30 to the Mt. Olive TNR Project,
and receive a picture of the cat you are
sponsoring. For $45, donators will receive a
picture as well as a Mt. Olive TNR Project
t-shirt with an original painting on the back.
To make a tax-deductible donation or to
sponsor a cat for the Mount Olive TNR
Project, make check payable to APLNJ

doubt his faithfulness.
Determined to confront the
situation, Swanhilda sneaks
into the toy maker's shop to
see Coppélia. Imagine her
surprise when she discovers
that Coppélia is a doll!
With the help of the toy-
maker, Swanhilda imper-
sonates the doll to teach
Franz a lesson. He gets it,
they marry and live happily
ever after. In this fairy tale,
we see bits of Snow White
and Pinocchio…but this
Snow White is a lot spunki-
er, and this Geppetto soon
realizes he’s been had and
must make amends.
Coppélia has long
remained one of the jewels
of the classical ballet reper-
toire, as it represents one of
the few true comedies of
ballet. Some argue that
Coppélia represents the first
"feminist" ballet, breaking
the romantic tradition of
portraying the female hero-
ine as an otherworldly crea-
ture and replacing it with a
witty, earthy woman who
knows how to get her way
with a womanizing fiancé.
The ballet has been in the
repertoire of many compa-
nies world-wide for many
decades. The Ballet Russe
de Monte Carlo kept
Coppélia in its repertoire for
almost the entire life of the
company, sometimes pre-
senting the entire full-length
production, sometimes only
the first two acts (as most of
the story is contained there-
in), occasionally presenting
just the third act as a diver-
tissement.
Dr. Coppelius will be
performed by Luba
Gulyaeva, former dancer
with the “Kirov Ballet” and
Franz by Vilaly Verterich .
Mr. Verterich was often
invited to perform as a guest
artist with “The Bolshoi
Theatre” and the “Kirov
Ballet.” In 1998 Mr.
Verterich was offered the
position of Principal Dancer
with the “Moscow Folk
Ballet” in the world’s
hottest show – “Riverdance
the Show.” The role of
Swanhilda will be per-
formed with New Jersey
Civic Youth Ballet’s soloist
Sarah Renna from
Hackettstown.

By Dr. Raymond Frey
FDR’s Secret Love
O
n an evening in August 1944, a train from
Washington, D.C. bound for Hyde Park, New York
pulled into a little train depot at Allamuchy, New
Jersey. This was no ordinary train—the President of the
United States, Franklin Delano Roosevelt—was on board.
But why did the train stop here during some of the darkest
days of World War II?
During World War I, Franklin Roosevelt was Assistant
Secretary of the Navy. In September 1918, Franklin and
wife, Eleanor, returned to the United States after visiting
the European front. Unpacking her husband’s suitcase, she
uncovered a packet of love letters. Unfortunately the love
letters didn’t belong to her. They were from Lucy Mercer,
Eleanor’s young social secretary. Described as “tall, beauti-
ful, well-bred with a low throaty voice and an incompara-
bly winning smile,” Lucy had attracted Franklin’s attention
four years before. Mrs. Roosevelt was devastated, and
offered Franklin a divorce. He asked for forgiveness and
promised never to see Lucy again. News of an affair and
divorce would have most certainly ruined Franklin
Roosevelt’s promising future political career.
In 1920, Lucy married Winthrop Rutherfurd, a wealthy
New York City socialite almost thirty years her senior. He
owned vast estates in Aiken, South Carolina, and
Tranquility, New Jersey. He built an 18,000-square-foot
estate in Allamuchy with 33 rooms and 17 bathrooms,
known as “The Brick House.” The Rutherfurds spent their
summers there, wintering in South Carolina. In March of
1944, Winthrop Rutherfurd died after suffering a stroke
three years earlier.
We now know that the love affair between Lucy and
Franklin did not end. They continued to write to each other,
and Franklin secretly visited her when he could. After
Lucy’s husband died, Franklin was even more determined
to see her in New Jersey.
In the middle of the night, the train pulled into the sta-
tion (which still stands) blocking Johnsonburg Road to keep
onlookers away. At midmorning, Franklin Roosevelt, in his
wheelchair, was lifted into a waiting car for the one-mile
drive to the mansion, where Lucy was waiting. A group of
Washington reporters were on the train, passing the time
playing poker. They asked a U.S. Secret Service agent, who
was walking the president’s dog, Fala, why they were stop-
ping. He told them the president was “visiting a friend.”
Asking no questions, they re-boarded the train and resumed
the poker game.
FDR stayed with Lucy at the mansion until 5:30 in the
afternoon. While there, he even made a personal overseas
telephone call to Winston Churchill, who was recovering
from a bout with pneumonia.
Late that afternoon, the train departed New Jersey and
arrived in Hyde Park, New York early in the evening.
Meanwhile back home, Eleanor Roosevelt was waiting for
her husband. She had prepared him a special dinner, know-
ing nothing of his romantic liaison at Allamuchy.
FDR planned several more visits to Allamuchy in the
coming months. But his health was quickly failing, and six
months later he would die suddenly at his “Little White
House” in Warm Springs, Georgia—ironically, with Lucy
Mercer at his side. At age 57, Lucy later passed away in
1948 of leukemia.
In 1950, The Brick House was sold to the Catholic
Sisters of Divine Charity and renamed “Villa Madonna.” In
2007, the Allamuchy Board of Education purchased the
building, which stands at the intersection of County Route
517 and Interstate Route 80. It was used to house pre-
kindergarten through second grade students. The building
was renamed “Mountain Villa School” and the mansion
named “Rutherfurd Hall.”
A few miles down the road, just off Route 517, a simple
gravestone in Tranquility Cemetery marks the final resting
place of Lucy and Winthrop Rutherfurd.
A fascinating story and a great piece of history—right
here in our own backyard.

Change
By Harlin Parker

I
t’s true. Change is not easy. We humans are somehow
hardwired to be cautious of change. After all, even with
the most meticulous plan, we may think we know what
will happen but deep down inside we know that something
could go awry and we’ll be worse off than we were. That’s
so even when we know we have to change. And if there is
one thing we’ve learned from this Great Recession, we
know we can’t keep doing what we’ve been doing in the
same way. We know that here in New Jersey, with our mul-
titude of municipalities, school districts, commissions,
authorities, departments, and you-name-it, we are overbur-
dened with government. We literally cannot afford this
anymore. We know, at least most of us do, that how we cur-
rently structure and operate our government just isn’t work-
ing and we must, must make some long overdue adjust-
ments.
But still, change can be scary, and people of good will
have differing opinions as to what makes sense, and what
doesn’t. And, of course, the entrenched interests, including
those people who belong to the “we-have-always-done-it-
this-way” club, are part of the problem, not the solution. So
while this will not be easy or quick, I am sure it is possible
to bring about the changes we need and, well, we just don’t
have any choice. There is no storm that will blow over, and
the sun will come out again, and we can go back to the way
things were.
New Jersey’s municipalities, including my own home,
Washington Township, are caught in a structural problem
that, left unattended, continues to inevitably push up prop-
erty taxes, push down the amount and quality of local serv-
ices, and produces the kind of haphazard development we
see all around us. Things are so out of control that we are
currently witnessing tens of thousands of people leaving
New Jersey even though they’d prefer to stay. This is mad-
ness, is it not? Who’s next to leave? You? Clearly, we need
to fix things. And we need to go about it in as conscien-
tious, eyes wide open, mature and (dare I say?) intelligent a
manner as possible. A good bit of courage will help too.
Just last month, Committeeman Tracy Tobin retired from
his seat on the Washington Township Committee after 27
years of service. 27 years. Think about that. How did you
go about your own business 27 years ago? In my office, we
all used IBM selectric typewriters. And “cc” actually meant
“carbon copy.” Much has changed over the past 27 years in
how we all go about business. But in New Jersey, not all
that much has changed as to how municipalities go about
their business.
The recent series of articles in the Daily Record high-
lighted the challenges that confront us as we look to tackle
New Jersey’s crushing tax burden. Solutions were offered
that include tax base sharing, regionalization and consolida-
tion. All excellent ideas (and yes, ones that I’ve been push-
ing for a long time). But what have we gotten over the
years? The great ballyhooed “inter-local service agree-
ments,” often referred to as “shared service agreements” are
timid, small steps that fall far short of the kind of compre-
hensive, long term solutions we need. Shared service
agreements are short term, usually only a year or so, and are
subject to the whims of new mayors or council or commit-
tee members. They’re ad hoc and scattered. Washington
Township has such agreements with Califon for police serv-
ice and municipal court services. We had such agreements
with The Chesters for emergency dispatch service until that
was recently ruined. We have one with Chester Township
for financial officer services and we’re contemplating one
for health department services. Oh, and we’re apparently
talking with Tewksbury about something as well.
Unfortunately, this is the kind of scattershot, ad hoc, short
term way of doing business that, while possibly better than
the days when each municipality had to have its own of

recalled in January 2009 when President-elect Barack
Obama was talking about how we needed a stimulus
package to help create 4.1 million jobs.
The following was an excerpt from a news article on the
MSNBC Web site last January:
In his weekly radio and YouTube broadcast address on
Saturday, President-elect Obama pointed out that he has
taken the unusual step of working ahead of his January 20
inauguration with members of his own Democratic Party as
well as the rival Republicans to seek consensus on a plan to
stimulate a recovery from the recession.
"If nothing is done, economists from across the spectrum
tell us that this recession could linger for years and the
unemployment rate could reach double digits — and they
warn that our nation could lose the competitive edge that
has served as a foundation for our strength and standing in
the world," he said.
The President-elect said that a new analysis by his eco-
nomic advisers indicated that his economic recovery plan
"will likely save or create three to four million jobs."
Fast forward to last week from the Los Angeles Times:
The unemployment rate rises to 9.8 percent as employ-
ers cut more jobs than expected. A net 263,000 jobs were
eliminated in September, pushing the jobless rate to a 26-
year high. The rate of unemployment plus underemploy-
Tell Them You Saw It In The Musconetcong News • October 2009 • Page 25
ment – representing workers whose hours were cut back –
is 17 percent.
Reporting from Los Angeles and Washington, the
nation's unemployment rate edged closer to double digits in
September but only began to reflect the miserable reality
confronting America's workforce.
The government reported Friday that the jobless rate
rose to a 26-year high of 9.8 percent, up from 9.7 percent in
August. The gauge's latest move up came as employers cut
their payrolls by 263,000 jobs, far more than analysts had
expected, raising fresh concerns about the economy's abili-
ty to sustain its budding recovery.
Okay, so the quick rush to spend our money has resulted
in what? The highest unemployment rate in 26 years? Now,
before all the liberals say it, I will. It was Bush’s fault! But
the reality is that it is not. President Obama has done little
during his first nine months but cause the national debt to
grow to the highest levels in the country’s history. His
administration plans on spending more money on health
care that will increase the debt even further. And confidence
in our economy keeps dropping.
People claim that the media is saying the economy is
getting better. Of course, the media is saying that and has to.
The state run media machine has to get the PR out to give
people confidence, because Obama’s poll numbers have

plummeted faster than the Titanic. The only problem is that
people look at their own finances and know what is really
happening. In most cases, it is not good. People are worse
off now than they were before. You can blame Bush all you
want to, but the truth is that nothing has been done yet
under Obama to help the situation short-term. In the long
run, things will be worse because of the mounting debt that
is accumulating. From January to October, Obama’s
approval rating dropped to under 49 percent, a more than 20
percent decrease.
People or at least the people who like to read facts and
not listen to the Obama machine are realizing that he is a
hard-core extremist who has no right to be running this
country. In fact, he really does not run it. He leaves that task
to House Speaker Nancy Pelosi and Senate Majority Leader
Harry Reid and his 20 or so czars for whom we are
bankrolling.
The Obama administration tries to push through legisla-
tion quickly. Why is that? They want to get their agenda
through before the November 2010 elections. People is
starting to see what Obama stands for, and many now do not
like it. When I speak with people who voted for him (not
including the hard-core liberals), most say that they regret
having voted for this guy.
How can this be? Wasn’t he supposed to be the Messiah?

Community Gathers to Give Three T’s

By Kathryn Davis

U
nder a beautiful, cloudless September sky, over fif-
teen hundred people walked the perimeter of the
Rockaway Mall recently in support of the eighth
annual Saint Clare’s Walk for Breast Cancer Awareness.
Hosted by the Hilton Garden Inn, the Township of
Rockaway, and the Rockaway Townsquare Mall, the event
was held to raise awareness of breast cancer. The walk pro-
moted early diagnosis as well as St. Clare’s newest cancer
treatment, TomoTherapy, a revolutionary therapy integrat-
ing CT imaging and the latest in radiation technology.
When Ben Martin, Marketing Manager for St. Clare’s
Health System, stood at the podium before the walk, he told
the story of the “traveling shirt.”
“The first year it was done behind the scenes,” he said,
describing an incident that occurred at the 2007 walk.
Donita Judge, a Denville resident, had come to the walk in
the midst of her battle with breast cancer. With no shirts
left, the chair of the walk committee, Sandy Warner, gave
Judge her own shirt.
“The next year,” Martin continued, “…Donita got
onstage and explained what happened to her. She asked if
there was anyone she could give the shirt to. She gave it to
Linda Hartman.”
When Linda Hartman spoke into the microphone at this
year’s walk, she held up the wig she had worn last year
when she received the shirt.
“Last year, I had no hair. I wanted so desperately to feel
better again,” Hartman told the crowd. “I want all of you to
know what a difference a year makes.”
While Judge was unable to attend this year’s event (She TD Bank.” Wilson is this year’s recipient of the Mary walked, we gained inner strength and a sense of accom-

The reality is that the country was in a per-
fect storm to help him get elected into
office. The country was angry about going
to war in Iraq. The economy was in sham-
bles, thanks largely to failed policies that
started from presidents Jimmy Carter
through Bill Clinton. So this young guy
with brilliant speaking abilities (later I
learned it is the teleprompter) comes along
and gets elected. We were jubilated to have
our first African-American president in
office. He was untouchable during the hon-
eymoon period. Now people have become
vocal and grass roots organizations are pop-
ping up. The disgruntled folks want to keep
America the way it is and not the way
Obama and his team want it to be.
It was okay for the Democrats to bash
Bush for years. They went so far as to have
Hollywood produce movies based on his
blunders and unpopular policies. But when
you criticize the almighty Obama, they call
you a racist. Even former President Jimmy
Carter said he thought it was racist to be
criticizing the almighty. Carter might be
losing his mind, so no one really cares what
he says anymore. Race has nothing to do
with the criticisms of Obama. It is his com-
petence that is in question.
Americans who understand what this
country is all about and the principles upon
which it was founded see what he is doing
to destroy those ideals. But the blind who
are just in it for freebies cannot see it. As I
see it, there are two types of people in this
country. There are those who want to make
a life for themselves by working hard and
feeling good about their accomplishments.
Then there are those who need the govern-
ment to provide for them by taking money
from people who work hard. With that type
of mentality, the country is doomed.
We are just fortunate to have elections.
Next year is a big election year for the U.S.
Congress and Senate. If things keep going
the way they are, most incumbents will be
out of office. People can blame Bush all
they want to. But the reality is that the peo-
ple who are running the asylum today are
the same people who ran it when Bush was
in office. These people have done nothing
but drag this country down further than at
any other time in our history.
There is nothing we can do with Obama
now but live with him and hope that he will
be a one-term president. We can only hope
that his policies will inflict limited damage
and that they will not destroy our freedoms.
We can only look forward to the day when
we can regain our strength as a superpower
before countries like Iran and North Korea
keep pushing us around because they know
that we have a lot of problems and weak
leadership.
These days President Obama appears
more of a celebrity than a president. He is
on late night shows, ranging from Leno to
Letterman and every other show in
between. His trip to Copenhagen to win the
Olympics for Chicago only took money and
time away from more important issues,

Committeeman Tobin go. Even as this was
to be his last year, he spoke about the tragic
medical news that has befallen his son,
prompting his immediate retirement. All of
us, I’m sure, extend our heartfelt prayers to
him, his son and his entire family. I believe
his departure is a loss for the people of
Washington Township. We have lost an
independent voice; someone who looked
beyond partisanship, beyond short term
gain. I know Committeeman Tobin shared
my concerns about the structural problems
affecting municipalities, including
Washington Township. And I believe he
shared my view that decisions made by the
Township Committee should be based not
on short term expedience but on what is in
our best long term interest. Example?
Recently, as the Township Committee
contemplated a “fee” on local children who
participate in youth sports, the

building those fields. Mayor Ken Short dis-
cussed how, years earlier, Committeeman
Tobin spoke up and cautioned his col-
leagues to take into account and plan for the
substantial annual costs of maintaining
those fields. Yet, in Mr. Short’s own words,
“We ignored you.” Yes, they did. And now
we all pay the costs. Some more than oth-
ers. Sadly, it isn’t just the sage advice of
Committeeman Tobin that’s been ignored
over the years. The Township Committee
has a history of ignoring the voters, as it did
when it built a new town hall and police
headquarters, even though residents in town
had voted against doing so.
In my own humble opinion, we need
people who will listen to and represent the
cares, concerns and will of the people who
live here. We need people who, like Tracy
Tobin, lift their eyes to look beyond the
trees so as to see the forest. People who
work for what is in the best long term inter-
ests of the people they represent. After all,
27 years goes by awfully quick, doesn’t it,
Tracy?
