families came out to support participants at
this year’s local event, and the sun even
made an occasional, though slight, appear-

What makes this kind of event success-

give of their time and energy to volunteer.

Annual Motor Madness Benefits Worthy Causes
By Elsie Walker
W
alking through the parking lots, you might have
thought that you were walking through a type of
classic car “time warp” with vintage, antique and
a few new cars filling the spaces. There was everything
from classics like a Desoto Adventurer to a new Challenger.
Proud owners sat near-by in lawn chairs taking in the nice
weather or sharing information about their “wheels”. With
nearly 342 vehicles on display during the day and 2300
spectators , one might have thought that Hacketttstown had
succumbed to motor madness. And that’s exactly what it
was.
The site was the annual Motor Madness car show held
on the day before Memorial Day on the grounds of Mars
Snack Foods US in Hackettstown. Presented by the
Hackettstown Rotary Club, the event raised $27,600 to
benefit the Joan Knechel Cancer Center at Hackettstown
Regional Medical Center and Rotary programs. such as.
the NORWESCAP Food Bank, The Arc of Warren County,
and more.
Kevin Guyette, . the immediate past president of the club
and a car show committee member, shared that for the hos-
pital, the monies raised help to provide state of the art can-
cer care and treatment for people with cancer, enabling
them to access this care close to home rather than having
to travel to Morristown, New York City, or Philadelphia.
This is the 8th year that Motor Madness has been spon-
sored by the Rotary Club.
“The show was held in years previous, but by other vol-
unteers and for the American Cancer Society. Long story…
Tell Them You Saw It In The Hackettstown This Month • June2009 • Page 3
but they came to us and asked if we would take it over and
we have grown it successfully,”‘ said.Guyette
This year the show was chaired by Jason Coe, COO of
HRMC; David Rucki, Executive Director of the
Hackettstown BID; and Rich Pelizzoni of The Reynolds
Group, Raritan. Sponsors included Mars Snackfood,
Centenary College, Johnson Dodge Chrysler Jeep,
Hackettstown Ford, Kevil Chevrolet, Hackettstown
Hyundai, Kia/Subaru of Mt. Olive, PNC Bank, and Warren
County Community College.
Visitors walking into the show were greeted by walkway
signs bearing the pictures of the famous duo Plain and
Peanut M&Ms. Those familiar faces set the tone for the
family atmosphere of the event which saw both adults and
children admiring the vast array of vehicles..
The familiar voice of WRNJ Oldies 1510’s Doc South
was heard as he entertained the crowd with the sounds of
golden oldies and upbeat patter. He also reminded people
of the real reason for Memorial Day by asking for a
moment of silence for veterans and active military person-
nel.
Later, it was South who announced the day’s winners,
including best of show, a 1956 DeSoto Adventurer owned
by Douglas Dressler of Mountain Lakes.
“I was very pleased by the turnout, both exhibitors and
spectators. The early prediction of rain held off some of our thing they can to make people feel welcome. This is impor-

Congratulations To Art of Dance in Chester

T
he Astaire Awards (www.astaire
awards.com) is an annual event that
honors choreography in theater and
movies. It was this evening at the Fashion
Institute of Technology. A portion of the
proceeds support the Auditory School for
the Hearing Impaired. Our Director, Valerie
Harman, from the Art of Dance in Chester
was suggested as someone locally that
could provide a tap number with local tal-
ent. They saw some of her work and she
was selected to create a dance to Luck be a
Lady. You can not self nominate, pay for,
nor audition for this opportunity, someone
within the "Astaire circle" has to nominate
you and then they review your work to
determine if they like it.
Within 2 weeks and multiple changes to
the version of the song, Valerie taught 44
young adults (ages 10-18), 43 girls and 1
boy - a brand new tap number. They had
over 20 hours of rehearsal while juggling
normal school, finals for some, rehearsals
for the recital, and life.
The kids are from all the local towns
Randolph, Chester, Long Valley, Mt. Olive,
Tewksbury, Hackettstown, Mendham,
Randolph, Peapack/Gladstone and
Bedminster.
They performed the opening number to
the award show this evening and received
thunderous applause! Our local kids were
GREAT! Not only was it a fantastic expe-
rience for these kids but a wonderful recog-
nition of Valerie who works tirelessly with
these kids. They even walked the red carpet
in party dresses before they changed into
costumes for the opening number.

Everybody Loves a Parade, and The

Band Makes It Even More Exciting

T
he old saying “Everybody Loves a
Parade” takes on more meaning
when the band or bands begin their
cadence and bring the parade to life, at least
musically. The Hackettstown Community
Band has been doing this for over 62 years.
Founded in 1947, the band entertains the
communities in Warren, Morris and Sussex
counties. Whether it is a parade, such as the
St Patrick’s Day parade held this year in
Hackettstown, or the various community
concerts we conduct during the summer
months. The sound of a band always brings
excitement to the air. We invite instrumen-
tal musicians to be a part of this excitement.
The band is always open to new members.
There are no auditions or membership fees,
just the desire to bring music to the commu-
nity. For more information, visit our web
site, www.hackettstownband.org, or call
Pete Grice at (973) 610-1308,

it would have on her life. “I

Participants in this event come from the
three counties in Area 3. Local training pro-
grams made up of various teams enter area
competitions and are divided by age, abili-
ty, and sometimes gender. The largest group
came from the Warren County ARC. Kelly
Holzli, assistant director of recreation serv-
ices, notes, “We usually bring the largest
group to the Area 3 event. We had 54 signed
up to attend.” She says anyone who wishes
to compete has opportunities for practice
for a couple of months. “We help them to
practice for a few Saturdays prior to the
event.” When their relay team won, Holzli
was thrilled. “This was just the best event
ever. They’re fabulous!”

Hotbox “Street Cuisine”

H
otbox Food truck started in spring
2009 by Chef Michael
Christiansen, a native of Long
Valley, NJ. Michael has been fortunate
enough to gain many experiences from
around the globe. He found through his
travels some of his favorite foods came
from some of the most authentic street food
stands. Some of the advantages to these
great foods were the freshness by nature of
limited refrigeration and quick turnover of
ingredients. Street food is usually simple,
quick fare; indigenous to the region it is
served. One of the best things about street
food is the lack of rules and pressures of eti-
quette. The eating experience becomes
strictly focused on the food.
While street food has been a main stay
around the world for centuries, the trend of
street food is coming onto the culinary
scene as one of the hottest trends in the
United States. From coast to coast, foodies
are flocking to the rolling restaurants for
delicious eats. In the recent past, street food
in the North East has been mainly relegated
to hot dog stands and Mr. Softee but we are
now seeing an emergence of high quality,
gourmet foods made with fresh and local
ingredients. It is now not unusual to find
items such as pizzas fired in a wood oven
on a mobile trailer to caramelized pears and
Panna Cotta served from a truck. Hotbox
Street Cuisine is bringing all of the things
you love about all of the above except with
a more approachable and trusting environ-
ment.
Chef Christiansen, a graduate of the
Culinary Institute of America, honed his
skills in San Francisco under Chefs Bradley
Ogden, George Morrone and Michael
Mina. Under their tutelage he was provided

Our Spiritual Landscape
Local Churches Offer Casual Worship
By Elsie Walker
I
t used to be that on Sunday morning,
many families got into their cars and
headed for morning worship. However,
now, between youth sports, and jobs which
require working on Sunday, it is difficult for
some families and individuals to get to tra-
ditional services. Then, there are those who
are looking for a different experience. They
have been away from church or never went
there before and feel a little uneasy about
the Sunday worship atmosphere.
Recently, two area churches,
Community Presbyterian Church of
Chester and Drakestown United Methodist
of Hackettstown, have started addressing
those needs by offering “casual worship”
services. Although both churches call it
casual worship, there are differences in the
approach and style of their services.
“It allows people to attend a traditional
service at a non-traditional time,” explained
the Rev. Chris Scriven, pastor of the
Presbyterian church in describing his
church’s service.
Held every Saturday at 5:30 pm,
Scrivens describes it as: “a ‘come as you
are’ type of service.” For example, a fam-
ily that has just been to a child’s ball game
could come right to church without having
to worry about going home and changing
clothes first.
Scrivens follows in the casual vein by
wearing a shirt and jeans, rather than a robe.
However, the service, held in the sanctuary,
reflects what would be done on Sunday
(sermon, scripture readings, etc).
In offering this worship opportunity,
Scrivens said that he found it “fills a niche
that was deeper than expected”.
He shared that there are families with
children in multiple sports that could never
get everyone together to attend a Sunday
service, but are now worshipping together
for the first time in years and are overjoyed
by that.
The Community Presbyterian Church is
located at 220 Main Street in Chester.
At 7:30 pm on the second Friday of each
month is a coffee house service at the
Drakestown United Methodist Church at 6
Church Road, Hackettstown.
“ This service was started to give people
a different style of worship. We hope to
attract teenagers and those who currently do
not attend church, “said the church’s pastor,
the Rev. Bob Mayer.
Held in the sanctuary, the service has
contemporary Christian music with the
words on a screen, some prayer, and a short
message.
“Sometimes one of the youth plays a
djembe or a guest guitarist helps out. It is a
very informal worship, but still centered on
Christ,” said Mayer.
After the service, the worshippers go to
the Friendship Hall for coffee and snacks.
And although the thought was that the
service would just appeal to younger wor-
shippers, that isn’t so.
“ Much to my surprise, many of our
older adults are coming to this service and
enjoying it,” shared Mayer.

Fun ‘n’ Friends Nursery School has a TRIKE-A-THON

for St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital
T
he children at Fun ‘n Friends
Nursery School, located in Flanders,
had fun learning about safety and
charity. The week long event taught the
children about riding-toy safety while rais-
ing funds for St. Jude Children’s Research
Hospital. All the children had safety les-
sons with stories about Bikewell Bear and
Pedals the Bunny. At the end of the Trike-
A-Thon week, the children brought in rid-
ing-toys, practiced the safety lessons they
had learned and donated money to St. Jude
Children’s Hospital. They rode their bikes
and scooters on a marked sidewalk and
stopped for cars parked in driveways. It
was a great day for Fun ‘n’ Friends and the
St. Jude’s Children’s Research Hospital.
“The children really understood the
importance of wearing a helmet. They had
fun while learning about safety and helped
other kids in the process. It was wonderful
to teach these valuable life lessons to the
kids. Our school is all about that; learning
while having fun!” said Kolleen Adams,

Harlin’s Point of View.... The views and opinions of this syndicated column does not reflect
the view and opinions of The Muscnetcong News.

W
ith this G-d awful year of 2009 just about half
done, we’re seeing what many believe to be the
bottom of the worst recession since the Great
One. How long the bottom will last is anyone’s guess, but
the “guessers” are guessing the American economy will
begin growing at the end of this year or the beginning of
2010. It is my hope that we will look at this current reces-
sion, this current crisis, and make some fundamental
changes that will help assure that our economy works for
the vast majority of Americans and not just the privileged
and elite few as it has during the recent past.
Right wing economic slogans (we can’t really call them
economic theories – those are backed up by rigorous aca-
demic analysis) such as the ever popular “Trickle Down”
and Ronald Reagan’s personal favorite, the “Laffer Curve,”
have been shown to be little more than the empty vessels of
political hyperbole that they are.
With the ever popular Trickle Down, the idea is that
wealthy Americans will invest the extra money they’ll have
from lowering their taxes into private business, putting peo-
ple to work. However, opening and expanding factories in
China and other third world countries, exploiting children
and adults living in extreme poverty, is not what the radical
right wing politicians promised us. Wealth trickled down,
alright. Trickle being the key word. The wealth remained
with the wealthy. The poor in third world countries got a
little sustenance and the American worker got… what?
Charles Laffer’s Curve looked to “prove” that when gov-
ernment lowers taxes, especially the top rates imposed on
the wealthy, that the total amount of taxes paid will actual-
ly go up, as the lower rates release the power of country’s
economic bulls to charge ahead with business activity that
was held back by those nasty high tax rates. Well, that was
true, a little bit, for a little while. The true believers failed
to see the reality of diminishing returns as their precious
Laffer’s Curve soon straightened out and went flat. Darn.
As to American industry? Well, you don’t have to be
very old to remember when General Motors was the pre-
eminent industrial company, not just of the United States
but of the whole world. It was said with a fair degree of real
conviction that what was good for General Motors was
good for the United States (“and vice versa” – that’s the
part that everyone leaves out). And yet here we are.
General Motors has gone bankrupt. Whatever emerges
from the ruins over the next weeks, months and years will
not be General Motors even though it will be called that.
Mind you, I don’t shed any tears for the company itself.
Let’s be honest here, folks, the company deserved to go out
of business, a thought that first came to me in 1973 as I
drove the rock solid, durable, well made Chevrolet Vega
(hint: I had to pay to have someone take it away).
Most people now understand that the last several
decades have been marked by the ascent of right wing slo-
ganeering masquerading as thoughtful policy. The right’s
contempt of “government” has brought about the effective
abandonment of government’s proper role to oversee and
provide for an orderly and fair capitalist economy.
Businesses were left to run amok. Banks were left alone.
Financial firms were allowed to meld together and to push
“products” that nobody could even pronounce let alone
understand. And all for what? Short term wealth creation
which went to the top 1% or less of the people who live
here. You know, Americans?
It’s time to shake off the stupor of orthodoxy. To the
rigid and unyielding radicals like Rush Limbaugh and Ann
Coulter, your 15 minutes are up, at least for the majority of
us. We need to remember that our American government is
“of, by and for” the American people. Let us be clear and
understand that We The People have much more influence
over our government than we do over Wal-Mart. We can,
and we must, use the power that rests with us all through
our government (on all levels – federal, state and local) to
make America work for all of us. Fair regulation and over-
sight, done intelligently and diligently, is absolutely neces-
sary to create and maintain an open, fair, and level “playing
field.” The rights of ordinary people, of ordinary workers,
need to be understood, respected, and protected, just as we
understand, respect and protect the rights of our capitalists.
And we are all Capitalists.
We The People. What a concept, eh?

Did You Know…
What Was the First Continuously-
Published Newspaper in America?
By Jack Mc Cabe
O
ne of the first “reporters” during the
early days of journalism in the
colonies was Benjamin Harris, who
was once jailed for sedition for his publish-
ing efforts in London. When he was
released, he published a pamphlet entitled
“English Liberties or the Free-Born Subjects
Inheritance.” After 5,000 copies were pub-
lished during the first run of this pamphlet,
Harris felt that the heat was really going to
come down on him, and that the weather
might be better for him in the colonies.
The mood in Boston around the late
1600’s found people wanting news from
their own communities, as well as news
from back home in England. Harris took
advantage of this and had both in his paper,
the first in the colonies, called “Publick (no
error in spelling here) Occurrences Both
Foreign and Domestick (nor here).” The first
issue came out on September 25, 1690, and
consisted of four pages. News was printed
on three pages and the fourth left blank for
readers to add their comments, which they
passed on to neighbors, as it was a common
practice to share news publications. Among
the stories were accounts of what Harris
called “Christianized Indians” celebrating a
day of thanksgiving for a successful harvest,
a sailor escaping from violent Indians, and
news from the ongoing war with the French
in Canada. There was also a rumor pub-
lished about the King of France’s relations
with a member of his own family that did
not sit well with the Puritans, who made up
a great portion of Harris’ readers, and the
paper was shut down before a second issue
could be published.
America’s first continuously-published
newspaper was called the Boston News-
Letter, which published its first issue on
April 24, 1704. It was subsidized by the
British government, and had a very limited
circulation. John Campbell, a Boston book-
seller and postmaster, was the editor, and the
paper was a single page printed on both
sides that was issued weekly. Most of the
content concerned English politics and the
European wars, along with ship arrivals,
political appointments, deaths, fires, etc.
Bartholomew Green, who was the printer
of the paper since its inception, took over as

Restaurant Celebrates Anniversary in Community

By Kathryn Davis tomers have been returning to Branda’s for Cuisine, a combination of Caribbean and job itself. He recalls unique opportunities

T
oday’s world is moving faster than
ever. With the rapid pace and daily
stress of our nation’s lifestyle, we’re
a people on the move. Yet with all our sched-
ules and appointments and commitments,
we still have to eat. According to the
National Restaurant Association, restaurants
will provide more than 70 billion meals and
snacks in 2009. On a typical day in America
during 2009, more than 130 million people
will patronize a restaurant. With all the
choices of eating establishments, how is it
that Branda’s Italian Grill in Mt. Olive has
continued to attract new patrons while still
holding onto a loyal following? What is it
about Branda’s that made its recent 8-year
anniversary party such a grand celebration?
Joe Branda, son of owner Claude Branda,
says, “My father is the reason why we’re so
successful. He makes sure everyone that
comes in here leaves with a smile. He’s the
driving force, the backbone of this place.”
He could certainly be right. Loyal cus-

Chef when Branda’s opened. The family had
been in the food industry since 1914, and the
tradition continued. Then, in 2004, Joe was
offered a tremendous opportunity. He was
given the chance to work for a big luxury
hotel company, spending time in different
regions of the country. In November, he
returned from a four-year tour that took him
around the United States, and gave him a
new perspective on his work.
“It was a great experience,” Joe Branda
explains. “Working in New Orleans, I got to
work with French and Creole cuisine. In
Arizona, I got to do a lot with southwest Tex

explains Joe. “Nothing pre-made, all homemade.” On

my recent visit to Branda’s, I was witness to the weighing
and rolling of that very fresh dough. The proficiency and
efficiency with which they worked was delightfully impres-
sive.
It was on this visit that a friend and I had the opportuni-
ty to discover for ourselves just what has made Branda’s
such an integral part of the community.
We arrived early on a Saturday, well before the dinner
crowd, and were seated immediately. Within minutes, we
were sipping cold drinks and placing our orders. There were
some enticing appetizers. We decided on the Eggplant
Rollatini. Three slices of breaded eggplant were each rolled
and stuffed with ricotta and Parmesan cheeses, then baked
and topped with fresh mozzarella and Branda’s own tomato
sauce. My friend and I forced ourselves to leave the third
roll on the plate to save room for our dinners. This was not
as easy as it sounds. Branda’s knows how to prepare egg-
plant!
Our house salads were a mixture of crisp romaine, large
chunks of ripe tomatoes, red onions, and plump black From left to right are servers, Patti Caruso, Laura Gattuso, Stephanie Heasman, and Toni DeCandia with Head Chef Joe Branda.

honey mustard sauce, served with seasoned crisp-cooked valuable offers and nightly special events such as Ravioli
vegetables and rice.
Our second choice was a chicken dish, Chicken
Balsamico. The tender slices of sautéed boneless chicken
breast, roasted red peppers, and mushrooms in an herb bal-
samic reduction were served over penne pasta and sprinkled
with fresh parsley.
Our other entrée choice was a vegetarian dish, Roasted
Pepper and Mozzarella Ravioli, and can be described with
one word…outrageous. Each ravioli was stuffed with a rich
filling, and the amazing champagne cream sauce was
superb. Our waitress confided this to be her favorite dish,
and it was easy to see why.
Admittedly, neither my friend nor I were able to finish
our three delicious entrees, but our waitress was happy to
package the leftovers for us.
Then, in speaking with Joe and his father, we learned that
they have something unique and enticing for after dinner.
“We have a pastry chef,” Claude told me. “Stacy; she does
all our desserts. She does mini pastries, all the cakes, all
occasion cakes, and specialty cakes; really nice stuff.”
So, naturally, my friend and I felt we owed it to my story
to try one of Stacy’s desserts. Joe recommended the
Amaretto Orange Cake, so we split a piece. Served with a
dollop of fresh whipped cream and sliced strawberries, the
three moist cake layers had a light orange flavor and a vel-
vety-smooth icing. This distinctive treat was a perfect end-
ing to our meal.
It’s a credit to any restaurant when it can celebrate eight
years of successfully serving its community. When Branda’s

his administration want to tax the health
benefits that people receive now from their
employer or pay for themselves? Most peo-
ple may not realize but if you get benefits
from work or pay for them you do not pay
federal taxes on those benefits. Guess what
you soon might have to. The funny thing
about this is Obama ran attack ads against
John McCain saying McCain wants to tax
your health benefits. Then it was no good
but now that he is in office it is a good thing.
Lastly I would like to point out that I am
proud that Obama is turning us into Russia.
He has appointed Czars for many positions.
It has finally happened. With the naming of
Border Czar Alan Bersin, the Obama
administration has passed the Romanov
Dynasty in the production of czars. The
Romanovs ruled Russia from 1613 with the

time, they produced 18 czars. While it is
harder to exactly count the number of
Obama administration czars, with this
appointment it that we will now certainly in
exceed 18. The funny thing about these
Czars is that they report directly to the king
himself Obama. Since when did this coun-

person?
Well people all I can say to the people
that voted for this guy thank you very much.
In no time at all he will make George W
