It’s a great turnout.” The Chamber encouraged visits to municipal booths with a Municipal Trivia Contest asking “How Much Do You Know About the Towns in Sussex County? Some questions proved to be stumpers - what town in Sussex County is the only one to hold the town’s name in the United States? Others were easier - what town has the “infamous” snake in the lake? To participate, residents picked up the questions at the Chamber booth, then visited each municipality. Completed forms with the answers were entered into a contest to win a six-month family membership to the Sussex County YMCA. The winner, Jenn Gearhart of Hardyston, exclaimed, “I grew up in Sussex County and all the bits of information I know about the area finally came in handy for something.” The 2nd Annual Sussex County Day is scheduled for Sunday, May 1, 2016.

Celebrating 50 Years of the Delaware Water Gap National Recreation Area Popular Park Hosts Five Million Visitors Annually

he Delaware Water Gap National Recreation Area is celebrating its 50th anniversary in 2015. It was established by Congress on September 1, 1965, to preserve the natural resources of the Delaware River Valley and provide opportunities for recreation, Teducation, and enjoyment to the one of the most densely populated regions of the nation. The Delaware Water Gap National Recreation Area presents nature at its best and includes a river — one of the cleanest in the country — for boating, kayaking, rafting, fishing and swimming and 67,000 acres of forest which visitors use for hiking, camping, and wildlife observation. A slew of activities are planned throughout 2015 to commemo- rate the anniversary including the 50 Miles for 50 Years Hik- ing Challenge which encour- A suggested easy hike that is ages people to hike — you part of the challenge: guessed it — 50 miles of park trails during the year.

Besides the more than 100 miles of hiking trails, what else is in the Delaware Water Gap National Recreation Area? We all know it’s big, huge actually, and that the Delaware River runs through it. The majority of the park is in Pennsylvania, with some of it in New Jersey too. So what else is there? As the Park’s most iconic feature, the Water Gap, a distinct notch cut into the Kittatinny Ridge by the Delaware River, de- mands more than just a brief explanation of what it is. When you think of the park, this is what you usually picture first. And when driving through it or admiring it from a ridge, your heart soars at the sight of the majestic cut out. The thrill of coming up on it from Interstate 80 just never gets old. It’s easy to see why this gap, about a quarter mile wide at river level and nearly a mile wide from the top of one mountain to the top of the other, was once touted as a scenic Wonder of the World; people have marveled at it for centuries. Association (NPCA) connects the dots between the park and the larger area and population it serves. What’s on the New Jersey side of the Park?

Each year: A recently released report from National Parks Conservation • Park visitor spending supports 1,750 local jobs and puts $2.5 million into local and state government coffers. • National Park Service employment supports $1.9 million in local wages. • Every $1 of federal government investment in the park yields $24 in sales at local businesses. • Volunteer efforts in every area of park operations add up to the equivalent of 53 full-time employees, efforts valued at $2.6 million. • Because the park remains largely forested and undeveloped, it provides ecosystem goods and services such as clean water, reduced floods, fish and wildlife habitat, and carbon storage. Even the best technology and human ingenuity could not fully replace these natural benefits—and it would cost more than $159 million to come close.

Chamber President Tammie Horsfield participated in community roundtables organized by the NPCA to garner input on the park and its local impact. “People visit our area, and many of us live here, to get away from the hustle and bustle of city life,” explained Horsfield. “We like the rural nature of this area, the beauty of our landscapes, the abun- dance of trails, the river and the environment. The park is an important part of that. The region could benefit econom- ically from greater collaboration on projects including more access, improved trail maintenance and construction projects, signage, and working together to market this wonderful resource.” Reflecting on 50 years has a way of directing thoughts forward. What can be done to ensure that the Delaware Water Gap thrives for another 50 years and beyond? The timing of the NPCA report couldn’t be better and as it says on page 2, “The park thrives—and its economic significance grows—when it is strongly connected to, and working in concert with, neighboring communities, businesses, and other formal and informal partners. Strengthening these relationships will foster additional economic benefits, and a sense of pride, ownership, and partnership that will benefit the park—and the community — well into the future.” Quality in Business New Home for Hospice Adds to Area Care Services Karen Ann Quinlan Hospice Opens Home in Fredon, NJ

There is a large central family room off the kitchen and two smaller sitting areas where families can gather. With around-the-clock nursing and specialized hospice care, the Hospice Home promises a much-needed re- prieve. For patients needing intensive nursing skills or urgent alleviation of pain, Hospice Home is a pleasant, comfortable and skilled place to cope with the challenges of a life-limiting illness. From the ground up, building on the beauty of nature to the support of the surrounding communities, this special building is more than brick and mor- tar. Form, function and talents all come together to create and sustain the ultimate goal and purpose of the Home for Hospice: quality and compassionate care in a home like setting for those who are on their final life journey.
