Allison Stahl, an 11th

grader at Belvidere High


School, has earned her
Girl Scout Gold Award.
Allison is the first Girl
Scout
ever
from
Harmony Township to
earn this honor.
She is a member of Girl
Scout
Ambassador
Troop 94838 and has
been a Girl Scout since
the 1st grade.
The Girl Scout Gold
Award is the highest
honor a Girl Scout can
earn. It is equivalent to a
Boy Scout Eagle award.
She is a member of both
the Belvidere HS girls
soccer team and girls
basketball team.
She is also a member of
SADD and the Leo Club
at the high school.

Allisons Gold Award


project was to build a
basketball
court
at
Harmony
Township
Recreation Fields.
Allison chose this
project as her Gold
Award because she has
played basketball since
5th grade in the
Harmony
recreation
league and realized that
Harmony
Township
does not have an outdoor
court for children to
practice at.
She plays basketball in
the Forks Township
summer league and
realized in the summer
before 9th grade that
Harmony
Township
basketball players had to
practice at outdoor
courts in either White
Township or Lopatcong
Township.
Allison received donations of labor and materials for her Gold Award
through the generous
contributions of the
following businesses:
The
Hillis
Group,
Harmony
Sand
&
Gravel, Tilcon Paving,
the Harmony Lions
Club, and the Walmart
Foundation.

Local
elementary,
middle schools and high
schools have entered a
friendly competition to
donate toys to the
Season of Hope toy
drive to benefit children
in Sussex and Northern
Warren counties.
A decorated school bus
will swoop down on
each institution in midDecember and cart the
items away for distribution to local families.
The winning school
will receive a monetary
contribution toward its
activities fund, along
with a trophy which will
have to be defended the
following year.
Runners up will also
receive monetary contributions.
Dr. Ken Greene, Superintendent of the Newton
School District, comments.
This kind of friendly
competition for a great
cause is a lesson we
want all of our children
to experience: that you
tend to get out of life
what you put into it."
Organizers hope to
encourage each local
school
to
collect
hundreds or even thousands of gift items over
the course of the next
few weeks.
The Season of Hope
Holiday Toy Drive
involves a consortium of
local social service
agencies and businesses
who
have
banded
together to collect toys
and other items for lowincome families in the
area.
The group hopes to

collect more than 20,000


items for distribution to
low-income Sussex and
northern Warren County
families
in
midDecember.
Having
children
involved in helping
other children to enjoy
the holiday season is
very important to us,
noted Deborah BerryToon, Executive Director of Project SelfSufficiency.
We are very excited to
have all of these
individual schools come
together in support of
the low-income families
in our area.
Those who wish to
contribute to the Season
of Hope Holiday Toy
Drive are encouraged to
drop
off
a
new,
unwrapped
toy
at
Project Self-Sufficiency.
Gift items will be
gratefully received at
Project Self-Sufficiency,
which is located at 127
Mill Street in Newton,
Monday Thursday,
from 9:00 a.m. 8:00
p.m. or Friday, 9:00 a.m.
4:00 p.m.
Additional
drop-off
sites will be added in the
coming weeks.
Donations
are
requested by December
16th in order to allow
ample time for the items
to be distributed to
needy families.
For more information

Knowlton Presbyterian Church will hold


its seventh annual Messiah
Sing-In
on
Sunday, December 7th
from 3 to 5 p.m. at
Knowlton Presbyterian
Church, 3 Knowlton
Road, Columbia, NJ
07832.
A light supper will be
provided for all who
attend after the SingIn.
There is no admission
for this event. A freewill offering will be
taken to help with
expenses.
Handels Messiah has
been a standard by
which much Christmas
Music
has
been
measured.
It is perhaps the most
famous and frequently
sung Oratorio of the
season.
Consequently, many
people love to sing it or
hear
it
whenever
possible, even in a
non-formal or nonconcert setting.
Knowltons Sing-In
invites all who are
interested in singing or
listening to attend.
If you are a singer and
have a score, please
bring it. If you do not
have a score, there will
be
some
extras
provided for your use.
Again, this is not a
performance, concert
or rehearsal. It is a
sing-a-long.
The entire work will

not be sung, but most


choruses and many
solos will be.
The average attendance
has
been
seventy-five singers in
past years. We would
love to make it to one
hundred singers this
year!
Do come join us for
this joyous event. For
more information call
Jim at 973.927.9555 or
973.229.6049.

Hello fellow readers,


We sure had an early
preview of things to
come and I wasnt
ready. What a sight to
see as I rallied in snow
boots and cross
country ski garb in the
heavy preThanksgiving Day
snow to cut back my
Eupatorium /Joe-Pye
Weed and lay their
seed heads under the
snow onto the bare
soil. The good news is
the ground is not
frozen yet. So, my last
minute seed-sewing
technique may prove
fruitful as the snow will
help hunker down
(others would say
embed) the seeds into
the soil.
So whats to come
this winter? The
Eastern Pennsylvania
Weather Authority
(EPAWA) released
their 2014/15 Winter
Outlook for December
through March for the
areas they serve which
includes Northern New
Jersey. They provide
detailed technical
information using
acronyms and colorful
charts that frankly are
puzzling. Fortunately
they provide a Plain
English summary that
goes like this:
Temperatures will not
be as cold as they
were last year and
there will likely be less
frequent storms, but
when they do hit, they
hold greater potential
to produce larger
amounts at one time.
Hence the odds favor
not nearly as much
snow as last year, but

certainly well above


normal.
Then they go on to
describe Wildcards
such as the potential of
bigger snow events
with the warm Atlantic
waters; combined with
the likelihood of the
negative North Atlantic
Oscillation dominating
this winter which
opens the door for
some big time winter
storm events. There is
greater potential for
blocking unlike last
year, making coastal
storms slower, bigger,
and more robust.
Another ingredient will
be the southern stream
that will be enhanced
by our weak El Nino
favoring storms
coming up from the
Gulf. The EPAWA
goes on to say we are
not expecting much
contribution from
March in the snowfall
department so any
snow in March or
November will be a
bonus.
Well we experienced
one Wildcard already!
By the way I discovered a wheelbarrow
does not maneuver
easily through snow;
kind of like trying to
ride a bicycle in soft
sand. Maybe we
should come up with
extra wide snow tires
for wheelbarrows.

(NAPSI)Many homeowners overlook one of


the most important
things to prepare for
when the holiday season
rolls
aroundwinter
storms. Experts believe
homeowners are unprepared for winter storms,
putting their families
and their home in
danger. So while youre
decking the halls for the
season, make sure you
take the following into
consideration and ensure
your home is both merry
and safe.
Homeowners can face
major dangers when
winter weather rolls
around,
including
damage from the weight
of ice, snow and sleet. In
the case of major snowstorms, families can
even be trapped in their
homes due to blocked or
frozen
entryways.
Cracked or burst water
pipes connected to
anything from steam and
hot water heating to a
fire-protection system
can be extremely costly.
Even after the storm,
melting snow can cause
major flooding.
Though the list of
winter weather dangers
runs long, there are 10
easy steps that can ease
or prevent these issues,
all while creating a safer
home
environment
during emergencies.
1. Install weather stripping.
2.
Have
your

furnace/heating system
serviced at the beginning of each season.
3. Move furniture away
from vents.
4. Add rock salt and
sand to emergency kits
to help melt ice on walkways.
5. Install roof-heating
cables to prevent ice
dams on roofs and
gutters.
6. Insulate pipes.
7. Place a cover over
attic stairs.
8. Insulate outlets with
gasket covers.
9. Invest in an automatic home standby
generator, such as those
from Generac, that automatically
provides
power for heat and
electricity when there is
a power outage.

10. If you have extra


money in your budget,
go for attic insulation,

which can save as much


as 30 percent on heating
costs.

John I. Blair, himself,


visited The First Presbyterian Church of Blairstown in November to
check on the progress of
the stained glass restoration underway at the 1
Main Street property.
The churchs windows,
which were removed in
late
summer
and
traveled to Minnesota
for cleaning and releading, arrived back in
Blairstown last week for
re-installation.
Blair (left) is pictured
with the Rev. David
Harvey and Church
Elder Erika Wulster,
both of Blairstown.
John I. Blair laid the
cornerstone of our building on June 1, 1870, and
the church with its
soaring steeple has
served as a landmark for
the Blairstown community ever since, Rev.
Harvey noted.
This project not only
is necessary maintenance but also is return-

ing these beautiful


windows to their original luster. We invite
passersby to look up
and appreciate them as

they were nearly 150


years ago. And, as
always, we welcome
local residents and
visitors to join us for
Sunday worship and
enjoy the view from
inside our sanctuary.
The First Presbyterian
Church
congregation
currently is raising funds
to support the $207,000
project,
for
which
Cathedral Craft, Inc. of
Winona, Minnesota, is
serving as contractor. In
November, the Warren
County Municipal and
Charitable Conservancy
Trust Fund awarded a
nearly $52,800 grant to
offset part of the cost.
First
Presbyterian
Church Sunday worship
takes place weekly at 10
a.m.
The churchs educational programs for
children in preschool
through sixth grade
typically take place at
the same time as the
regular 10 a.m. service.
Family Worship, during
which Sunday School
students attend worship
instead of their regular
classes, occurs approximately every six weeks.
These special services
are geared to an intergenerational audience.
First Church also offers
nursery care (birth to
age 3), confirmation
class (7th and 8th grade)
and a senior high youth
group.
The First Presbyterian
Church has a history of
ministering to those
within the community
and abroad. Its food
pantry, located in the
church Outreach Center
at 35 Main Street, is
open every third Saturday.
For more information
on the First Presbyterian
Church stained glass
fundraiser or any of its
ministries, contact the
church office at 908362-5254.

(NAPSI)The holiday
season
is
quickly
approaching, and though
it may be called the most
wonderful time of the
year, it can also be the
most stressful. But with
some advance planning
and simple organization,
you can be ready to
enjoy a flawless, stressfree holiday season.
There are a number of
holiday shortcuts that
can create a personalized impact with just a
home printer and a little
creativity. And to make
sure the season goes
smoothly, HP Instant Ink
is here to help save you
time and money. With
the HP Instant Ink
service, your eligible
printer tells HP when
your printer is low on
ink and Original HP Ink
cartridges are delivered
to your door before you
run out, keeping one less
item off your shopping
and to-do lists. So
where do you start?
1. Gift Wrapping: Print
gift tags at home.
Your packages are
wrapped right down to
the bow, but you forgot
the gift tags. Not to fear.
Instead of running back
to the store in the midst
of the holiday rush, use
your HP Instant Inkeligible printer to create

your own customizable


gift tags. And if you run
out of tags, just print
some more!
2. Holiday Cards and
Letters: Customize your
family
photos
and
holiday greetings by
designing and printing
at home.
This is yet another
thing you can do from
the comfort of your
home. You can easily
create and design your
own customized photo
cards and letters on your
computer and then print
for just pennies apiece.
HP Instant Ink plans
start as low as $2.99 a
month for up to 50
printed
pages,
and
because plans count
printed pages and not
the amount of ink used,
you can print highquality color photos or
black-and-white documents, all for the same
low cost.
3. Table Decorations:
Add some flair to your
table by printing out
personalized
place
cards.
The tree is decorated
and youve hung a
wreath on the door, but
the decorating doesnt
have to stop there.
Creating your own table
place cards is a simple
and easy project that can

be done from your home


printer to impress your
dinner guests. While
youre at it, consider
creating
customized
labels to highlight the
famous family recipes
you prepare.
4. Holiday Cooking:
Print out your grocery
list, baking schedule and
recipes.
During the hustle and
bustle leading up to your
holiday dinner, it is
important to have a plan
and stick to it. Mapping
out your appetizers,
entres, drinks and
desserts, and printing
out recipes and ingredients lists, will save you
return trips to the store.
The HP Instant Ink
service works with a
wide variety of new HP
printers and includes
everything you need to
keep your printer working hard for youincluding ink, shipping,
and cartridge recycling.
From planning your
holiday events to putting
the finishing touches on
your table, these simple
solutions can save you
time, money and headaches
this
holiday
season.

(NAPSI)Your
car
can really take a beating
from cold, wet weather,
so it makes sense to take
a few precautions.
These tips can help you
prepare:
1. Take care of the
outside: Check essential
safety components such
as your tires, headlights
and windshield wipers.
Make sure tires are
inflated to the correct
pressure
and
have
enough tread, that your
headlights are bright and
that your wipers are in
good working condition.
2. Make sure you have
the right tire: If you do
most of your driving in
moderate climates, allseason tires are a good
bet for handling dry and
wet conditions equally
and offering some snow
performance.
For
example,
the
MICHELIN
Premier
A/S tire with EverGrip
features an evolving
tread design and hightraction rubber compound to deliver exceptional levels of wet grip,
providing
enhanced
safety even as the tires

wear down. If, however,


youll be driving where
the temperatures are
consistently below 44
degrees Fahrenheit, you
may want to consider
switching to winter tires,
such as the MICHELIN
X-Ice Xi3, to better
manage ice and snow.
3. Take care of the
inside: Test all the
necessary equipment,
including your heater
and defroster. Check and
change, if necessary, all
fluids, especially the

antifreeze and washer


fluid. A cold snap may
also be a time your
battery shows signs it
needs replacing. You
can get it checked, free,
at many auto parts
stores.
4. Have a winter-ready
kit in the trunk: Be sure
you know where your
ice scraper or snow
brush can be found. Its
not a bad idea to have an
extra set of gloves in the
trunk, as well as a
shovel, ice melt and
jumper cables. Consider
adding snow chains to
your kit. MICHELIN
Easy Grip composite
snow chains are a lighter
alternative to traditional
metal chains, with fibers
that grip snow and steel
clips that are capable of
digging into ice.
Its also worth it to get
your tires and car
checked by a professional to make sure
everything is in working
order. With a little
preparation, you wont
get caught when the
weather turns.
