As Theresa Rush of Stanhope reads, Come to theFairies Ball, the audience begins to see the charac-ters take form before their eyes.literally.

Bringing them to life on paper is Theresas husband, DavidRush. Selected as Julys Artist of the month by the NewJersey Arts Council, David Rush is an artist and instructorwhose works have been displayed at a variety of venues,including being part of the New Jersey archives. Locally,the Rushes do their story and drawing program at the E.Louise Childs Memorial Branch of the Sussex County

Drawings Bring Storytime Alive

Library System, at 21 Sparta Road in Stanhope. There is

no fee for the programs. I have been doing these story / drawing programs for40 years, I just think that it so nice to see the childrens eyeslight up when the picture finally becomes discernible. Ieven had a program going with the NY Giants players,where we would go out to schools and do a program togeth-er, said Rush.

Now, at the library, Rush does the program with his wife,who seems to love it as much as he does.

Terri, gets a real charge out of the children. She justloves them so much. It brings her great joy, said DavidRush.

Donna Best is Principal Library Assistant at the library,and for the past year and a half has been supervising thebranch. She noted that David Rush has been a long- timepatron of the library, and for several years he has broughthis artwork to hang in its meeting room for a month or twoat a time for the patrons to enjoy. In addition, he has hadshowings of his students artwork at the branch.

Last fall he mentioned programs that he had done forthe schools in the area and [asked]would we be interested.His first program on November 12, 2011 was CranberryThanksgiving by author Wende Devlin. While Davidswife Theresa told the story, David brought the story to life

through his drawings. It is so exciting to watch the storycome to life and to see the smile on Davids face when heturns around and sees the audience captivated by his draw-ings! said Best.

Since then, the Rushes have done two more programs:Cranberry Christmas and Come to the Fairies Ball.The latter was done for the end of the librarys SummerReading Club Program.

Best noted that the drawings from the programs are ondisplay in the childrens area of the library.

We are looking forward to his next story and his nextshowing of his art in our meeting room in November, shesaid.

The borough environmental commis-sion is seeking volunteers to helpwith a clean-up on Saturday, Sept. 29,long-time commissioner Janice Hunts said.The commission already has enthusiasticvolunteers from both the elementary andhigh schools, she explained.

The fourth graders at Valley Road Schooladopted the trails leading to and around theschool after Mayor Rosemary Maio spoke tothem about community service. Maio point-ed out to the children than kids and adultsmay not realize that when they drop some-thing they should pick it up.

Taking her words seriously, the childrenheld their own clean up after Arbor Day andplan to participate again.

Students at Lenape Valley High Schoolwhich is in the borough and serves ByramTownship and Netcong as well formed a GoGreen environmental club under the leader-

ship of adviser Rachel Strudle. The studentsattended an environmental commissionmeeting to get to know the commissionersand tell them their plans, Hunts said.

There are 22 students in the club andwhile Byram Township has the most stu-dents in the school a good number are fromStanhope.

The club adopted the Tri-CommunityTrail which leads to the high school and dida clean up in the spring. Because the bor-oughs spring clean up was on a Saturday,they chose a weekday after school. Theywill do the same thing with the Sept. 29

Stanhope Sets Clean-upclean up because of fall sports on Saturdays.

They did a lot of work, Hunts com-mented on the spring high school clean up.

The commissions clean up will includethe trail from Furnace Pond to the PlasterMill. Its a big project, Hunts said. Wehad nine people last time, she noted.

The trail also runs from the Plaster Millto Lookout Rock which offers a beautifulview.

Hunts is also a long-time member of theShade Tree Commission and she notedSalmon Park is now open to the public.

It had been designated as a public park

when ownership was transferred to the bor-ough,: Hunts said, but it was never main-tained. Now its cleaned up. Old trees wereremoved and new ones planted. We have sixdogwood trees, three red buds and a swampoak.

The shade tree commission is also clean-ing up the informal trails that fishermenhave long used to get to the river. Membersare also working to get the trail connected toFurnace Pond.

Hunts said the shad tree and environmen-tal commissions collaborate on many proj-ects.

Outdoor Sunday ServiceRemembers 9-11

By Elsie Walker

We invite and encourage thecommunity to come, whetherdirectly or indirectly touched

[by the events of 9-11]. Were rememberingthe human loss and sufferinglets gettogether and remember.be side by sidewith anyone that was affected , said Rev.Tom Kinter.

On Sunday, September 9th at 9:30am,the Stanhope United Methodist Church at#2 Route 183 in Netcong, will be holdingits annual outdoor service remembering 9-11.

Kinter, Pastor of the church, explainedthe significance of the service being out-doors.

I think the outdoor service is a visual ofthe losspeople were forced outside , hesaid, in recalling how people had to flee thebuildings. [So]on a given Sunday, wemake the sacrifice of leaving our beautifulsanctuary to sit on the lawn.

Kinter went on to note that a service likethis is also a way to teach children whattook place on that day. He likened it to whatthe Israelites did after crossing the Jordan.

They made sure there was something in

place that would educate generations aboutthe trials that were endured.

However, the service is not only aboutloss, it is also about life. During the service,a baby is being baptized.

Even when crisis strikes, we go on liv-ing. God is with us in life and death, saidKinter. The service is a reminder of that.

After the service, the community is invit-ed to stay for a picnic sponsored by thechurchs United Methodist Mens group.

In the case of inclement weather, theservice will be held indoors.

The little guy in the picture was the one baptizedat a previous year's service and with him is hisgreat grandmother.

Driving down Route 46 in theNetcong-Roxbury area, GraceChurch is a familiar sight. Whatpeople might not know is that Grace Churchalso has a campus in Rockaway. On Sundaymornings, a trailer drives up to the DennisOBrien Elementary School at 418 MineralSprings Drive, Dover and from that traileremerges a portable church set-up and atransformation begins. At 10 am, there are

the sounds of live praise music; the schoolhas become a church, complete with SundaySchool, nursery, caf, and worship area.However, it is not separate from Grace. You

see, Grace is one church two locations,a multi-site set-up that churches in manyareas are adopting.

Its been a great ride, said Rev.Cameron Baker commenting on the estab-lishment of the Rockaway campus. TheRockaway Campus pastor, Baker is excited

The praise band at the Rockaway Campus of Grace Church plays at the 10am service.

Grace: Two Locations One Churchabout whats been happening at Grace. TheRockaway Campus was launched on EasterSunday 2011. It started with 23 families andhas grown to have 42 families call the

Rockaway Campus home.The Rockaway Campus started from aprayful effort to alleviate a problem. Thatproblem was that the Netcong campus wasrunning out of parking. Grace had previousexperience starting a church plant (newchurch) in the west, but now the church wasgiven the gift of an idea, not to plant anoth-

er church, but to expand the ministries it wasdoing at the Netcong Campus to anothersite. Baker noted that the idea went alongwith Graces Vision : to raise up genera-

tions of families that are built to last.Because it is previously planted a churchin the west, Grace decided to look to theeast for the location for its new campus.After looking at some venues, it approachedthe Rockaway Board of Education aboutrenting the school. Then, it looked to the

congregation for help.We asked individuals from Rockaway

and surrounding areas [who worshipped atthe Netcong Campus ]if they could see

themselves as missionaries to Rockaway[during the start-up period], said Baker.The idea of the new campus, was not just

to worship in Rockaway, but also be part ofthe community.

Now Sunday mornings are busy at theDennis OBrien Elementary School as atrailer is unloaded with the items that willmake the school, temporarily, into a church.The contemporary worship service starts at10am with A great worship band, asBaker describes those that provide the

music. The sermon that is preached eachSunday is a reminder that Grace is truly one

church with two locations. The same ser-mon given at the Netcong campus is alsoseen at the Rockaway Campus via live videorecording.

The two campuses share in activities and

events such as youth groups and serviceprojects done by the church.Though there are challenges in having a

temporary campus church building, suchas finding meeting space for church activi-ties during the week, there are many posi-tives, too. There are opportunities for fel-lowship, for spiritual growth, and for serv-ice.

Looking ahead, Grace is working onanother campus location: on the internet.The church is working to establish a greater

internet presence which will include wor-ship opportunities on the web.

Long confined to the hallowed techregions of Silicon Valley, northernCalifornia, and Washington state, thegame industry hasn't seen the growth on theeast coast that you would expect from amulti-billion dollar annual industry. So-called AAA companies, that is, the big,meaty companies that make the Halo's and

World of Warcraft's that frequently graceyour television and computer, are few andfar between east of the Mississippi. Localgame company, Idiosync Industries, andtheir flagship game, Terrabellum, are look-ing to change that.

Terrabellum itself is an online computerstrategy game. Think of it as sort of aChess meets Texas Hold 'Em, board game,

Local Game Company Startup Kicks Itself into Gearplayed online with people all around theworld. Company-sponsored tournamentsand global leaderboards encourage a com-petitive atmosphere, pushing the game intothe rapidly-growing e-sports market. It's aunique twist in the current climate of alienshooting games, or arena deathmatches.

We really think there's a market for peo-ple that want to compete on a global level,but may not have the reflexes necessary forthe modern action genres. The key to victo-ry in Terrabellum is strategy, and planning,says company president Daniel Wallace.

Gameplay is not the only thing IdiosyncIndustries is trying to shake up. They'reseeking to cut out the current middleman inthe industry, the large and often facelesspublishing companies, by going with a newonline option known as Crowdsourcing.Seeking to connect directly with their cus-tomers, they're using a website known asKickstarter, to sell early access to thegame, as well as in-game bonuses, in orderto pull themselves up by their bootstraps, soto speak.

By Elsie Walker

Sometimes, those playing a tough softball game mightsay they could use a few prayers. However, for someteams playing this summer, their games always start-ed with a prayer.

The North Jersey Christian Softball League just finishedanother season. Made up of two league levels, Fellowshipand Competitive, the teams consist of people of a variety ofages and occupations. This years competitive leaguechamp was the team from Christ Episcopal Church in BuddLake. However, it was another story at the end-of-seasoncharity tournament. Defeating Christ Episcopal Church towin tournament was the Valley View Chapel team fromLong Valley.

However, the league isnt all about winning; its aboutfellowship, faith, and outreach. Gary Lieberman, theLeague commissioner since 2001, plays for the Holy Trinity

Lutheran team. He talked about what the league is all about:When I took over as League Commissioner, I intro-duced a couple of new ideas. I appointed a League ClergyLiaison who was the pastor from Holy Faith LutheranChurch. [The liaison] interfaces with the clergy from thechurches in the league and garners their support. I figuredif we had the support of the clergy, the league would flour-ish, and it has. The second thing I introduced was to take aportion of the annual league fees and designate it as aleague benevolence earmarked to help a good Christiancause, one that was not specifically tied to denomination.We alternate between sending our benevolence to MorrisHabitat for Humanity and a few of the food pantries in thearea. I feel it is very important for the league to be morethan just about softball. Yes, we do gather in His name andwe share some really good fellowship, but I also want tohelp others through the league. The current leagueClergy[Liason} is Pastor Neil Tolboom from MorristownUnited Methodist Church. Pastor Neil is a former Wall

Street Executive who left the business to become a pastor.He has such a great story and is a huge Christian sports sup-porter.

For many who get on the field, it is a time to just unwindand have funno matter your skill level. Thats where the

Fellowship League comes into play. Joe Weston, captainof the Mt. Olive Community Bible Church team talkedabout the two levels of play in the league:

The competitive league is comprised of all guys whogrew up playing softball. They play hard and aim to win.At the end of the regular playing season, they have playoffs.The team that wins the playoff games takes a trophy back toits church. Contrast this against the coed league -thats us -which requires three women to be on the field and in thebatting line-up at all times. The guys are of varying levelsof skill and experience. The challenge is to get enoughplayers to consistently show up for games. Its a rare occur-

rence for a coed team [ Fellowship League], to have enoughplayers for the coach to limit participation only to thosewho display a minimal standard of ability. So, the onlyrecruiting requirement is that you can swing a bat, not thatyou necessarily can hit the ball.

Another thing about the North Jersey Christian SoftballLeague is the variety of people on the teams. The ages arefrom teen up. Age doesnt seem to matter; its the love ofthe game that counts. For example, CommissionerLieberman, who alternates between pitching and playingsecond base) shared that he just celebrated his 61st birth-day and, I have no plans on retiring anytime soon.

Robbie Post, co-captain of the Stanhope UMC-PortMorris UMC, is 73. Shes been playing since the teamstarted a few years ago and shared about some of the funthis season brought:

This year we didn't get to play full games because wewere short on teammates. However, we were thrilled to getto play fun games with the other churches. It was so reward-

ing to find pleasant people and amazing sports. We got toplay all different positions and found that to be a learningexperience.

At the end of each season, a charity tournament is held.This year, that tournament was held at Smith Field in

Parsippany. Five teams competed: Morris PlainsPresbyterian Church, Market Street Mission (Morristown),Grace, The Church on The Mount (Netcong-Rockaway),Valley View Chapel (Long Valley) and Christ EpiscopalChurch (Budd Lake).

Each team played four games as part of a round robinformat. Valley View Chapel had a perfect day going unde-feated during round robin play and then won the champi-onship game over Christ Episcopal 9 - 3. No easy feat as thetournament started 8:30 am and ended seven hours later,with most of it played in 90+ degree heat, said Mark Ruiz,Events Commissioner who plays on the Morris Plains

Presbyterian Church team.Monies received from the tournament go to the charityof the winners choice. This year it will go to outreachessupport by Valley View Chapel.

The fellowship shared by the league participants is ofthe utmost importance to me. I am thrilled when theChristian spirit shines in each of our games. Its not aboutwinning; its all about gathering and sharing. And if we cando some good and help some folks, then all the better.Through softball many churches have attracted members,helped heal those who are hurting and, actually, in a fewcases, had players go on to join the clergy. A few years ago,I was doing some electrical work and called for an inspec-tion. The inspector pitched for one of the teams. So, younever know when youll run into a league member, saidLieberman.
