ooking at Landing today, some may
find it difficult to believe that it was
once a booming resort town. It had
some large hotels, a noted amusement park
(Bertrand's Island) and even a theater. For
some, it was the place of a childhood long
ago with friends that have since moved on
and with whom they've lost touch.

family moved to Landing. He was struck by
the rich history of the Landing and Lake

Diversity Contest Awards
Ceremony To Spotlight
Holocaust Rescuers
D
uring World War II, known as
the Holocaust, some individuals
had the courage to care and
some had the courage to act," says Stanlee
Stahl, executive vice president of the Jewish
Foundation for the Righteous (JFR), the
keynote speaker for the Awards Ceremony
for the National Council of Jewish Women
(NCJW), West Morris Section's sixty-grade
diversity contest, called "What Prejudice
Means to Me."
Ms. Stahl's talk, which is free and open
to the public, is titled "Fighting Hatred and
Prejudice Against All Odds." The event,
which honors grand prize winners, out-
standing award winners and those receiving
honorable mention in the diversity contest,
begins at 7 p.m. at Morris Knolls High
School, Knoll Drive, in Denville.
The Jewish Foundation for the
Righteous has two goals. The first is to
repay a debt of gratitude on behalf of the
Jewish community to those non-Jews who
risked their lives and often the lives of their
families to save Jews during the Holocaust.
Currently, the foundation provides ongoing
monthly financial assistance to more than
1,100 aged and needy Righteous Gentiles in
25 countries. JFR's second goal is to pre-
serve the memory and legacy of the rescuers
through its national Holocaust education
program, which educates teachers in the
history of the Holocaust. The subjects of
moral courage and the rescue of Jews are
addressed within this context.
Ms. Stahl will discuss what it meant to
rescue a Jew during the Holocaust, specifi-
cally in Poland; who the rescuers were; and
what it took for a Jew to either try to "pass"
on the Christian side or to go into hiding.
Noting that the sixth-grade students in
Morris County public, private and parochial
schools being honored for their essays,
poems, short stories and artwork relating to
prejudice have studied and thought about
this issue, Ms. Stahl says they are coming to
realize that they are part of the greater soci-
ety and, as such, have obligations to their
fellow human beings.
Before joining the foundation as its
executive vice president, Ms. Stahl estab-
lished Extra Helping, New Jersey's first pre-
pared-food transfer program. Extra Helping

Partners In Caring. “We are also very proud
of our dedicated ShopRite associates who
help to raise awareness and funds year after
year for local food banks. This contest is a
great way for us to recognize them and the
positive impact that they have on the com-
munity.”
The ten local heroes, alongside 61
ShopRite associates, will be featured on the
front panel of a limited-edition Cheerios
box, the eighth in a series, which will be on
shelves this spring exclusively at ShopRite
stores. The box will be unveiled in a special
ceremony at the ShopRite of Netcong on
Friday, April 3, 2009 at 10 a.m.
Heather Spear of Newton, NJ and Gerard
Thorry of Belvidere, NJ are among the
ShopRite associates honored on 125,000
limited-edition Cheerios boxes for their
store's commitment to fighting hunger in
their local community through the ShopRite
Partners In Caring program. Heather and
Gerard were selected to appear on the
Cheerios box after the ShopRite of Netcong
took a top spot out of 30 winning stores in a
contest sponsored by ShopRite and General
Mills in support of National Hunger Action
Month in September.
ShopRite associates raised more than
$290,000 during a two-week contest by
offering $1 donation cards to customers at
checkout, constructing displays to bring
awareness to the issue of hunger, and hold-
ing in-store events to support the cause.
General Mills donated an additional
$20,000 to the ShopRite Partners In Caring
Fund, a component fund of the Community
Foundation of New Jersey.
The 2009 limited-edition Cheerios boxes
are available for sale at your local ShopRite.

H
ave a Coke and a smile” when
visiting Budd Lake Transmissions
and Auto Repair on Route 46 in
Budd Lake.
Charlie Wohlleb- co-owner/ president of
the auto shop along with his wife, Sandy- is
giving out free Cokes to his customers in
celebration of the shop's one-year anniver-
sary in Mount Olive. For those who prefer a
different beverage, water bottles or Diet
Cokes are also available while supplies last.
Wohlleb, 51, of Newton, opened his shop
in Budd Lake last year after his shop in
Sparta-Sparta Transmission and Auto
Repair- got too busy and overcrowded.
“I needed a second shop to take the over-
load,” says Wohlleb. The parking lot is too
small in Sparta and he no longer had room
for all the cars, he adds.
He also wanted to expand his business
after running his shop in Sparta for the past
seven years. “I also wanted to extend to
another region,” he says.
In addition to a free beverage, customers
can expect outstanding service, accurate
estimates and professional workmanship.
Working on cars comes naturally to
Wohlleb, who has been in the business for
Wohlleb's father started his own transmis-
sion shop in 1953 and he had worked with
him at his shop in Andover, until it was sold
in 2003. “I would watch him work since I
was able to pick things up,” he adds.
Besides experience, Wohlleb earned his
degree from Sussex County Vo-Tech in
Sparta and constantly upgrades his skills by
attending seminars.
“I like to work on the cars, the challenges
it brings,” says Wohlleb. “I enjoy finding
the problem with the car. I also like working
with people.”
Wohlleb specializes in transmission
work and his ability to rebuild them him-
self.
At Budd Lake Transmissions and Auto
Repair, “Transmissions are built on site,”
says Wohlleb, unlike other auto shops that
order them. “We don't sublet them.
“We do more in house repairs and we fix
things,” he explains. “A lot of the other
shops replace things. They buy rebuilds and
put them in cars. This costs more. You can
save half the cost by having it rebuilt rather
than buying a rebuilt one.”
In addition to transmission repair, Budd
Lake Transmissions and Auto Repair pro-
tine maintenance. Technicians use electron-
ic computerized diagnostic testing for com-
plete engine overhaul and transmission
repair, he adds.
Customers can also expect honest and
friendly service at Budd Lake
Transmissions and Auto Repair.
“My philosophy is to run a friendly shop,
give good service and be honest,” says
Wohlleb.
“I let them know up front what the cost
is going to be,” he says. “I try to be as hon-
est as I can without surprises to the cus-
tomer. I give people up front estimates. I
diagnose the job and let the people know
upfront what it's going to cost this way there
are no surprises.”
Knowledgeable staff is also a guarantee
at Budd Lake transmissions. “All of my
mechanics are certified. They are friendly, Charlie Wohlleb

Wohlleb guarantees all of the work done filled his shops with his antique Coca-Cola

verywhere you go, you can see it,
hear it and feel it - the economy
squeeze.
Many families are feeling prices for
everyday and lifestyle products going up, as
the value of our homes and savings go
down.
Now is the time to invest in things, expe-
riences and memories that offer meaning
and long-term value for you and your fami-
ly. The cost for a dinner out, movie night or
trip to the mall has made many things we
used to do frequently, now a luxury item.
Cooks and Crafts, on Route 206 in
Flanders, is celebrating its third year of pro-
viding a quality environment and services
for parties, classes and events in high qual-
ity arts and crafts and culinary arts. The
owners and staff at Cooks and Crafts pride
themselves on providing a meaningful, edu-
cational and entertaining service for their
customers and have created a set of econo-
my buster specials to help you through the
recession.
“Time and time again, we see children,
teens, tweens, adults and small to large
office groups come to our facility and mar-
vel at the incredible experience and memo-
ry of our craft and cooking services”, says
Eniko Aaron, Owner.
“We are offering specials to help ease the
burden the economy has put on us all”, says
Pat Dodge, Senior Cooking Instructor and
Store manager.
Cooks and Crafts is offering a new
Couple's Night Out cooking class and din-
ner special on Friday evenings by prepaid
reservation, and have seen growing demand
for their Junior Cooking Classes (10-20
years olds) in which they are hands on with
technique in a variety of culinary curricula.
They expect that many folks will not be
traveling this summer, and have created a
series of affordable themed events and party
discounts and specials. Book now to ensure
the day and timeslot you desire.
Cooks and Crafts is located in the Mall

Almost 50 people have writ-
ten in over the last five
years to share their remem-
brances of growing up in
Landing” Balston said.
Those letters have done
more than just share memo-
ries. In some cases, they
have helped old friends to
connect and find each other.
They are also a rich source
of stories not found in any
books or periodicals, but
only within people's hearts.
Besides individuals shar-
ing information, the Lake
Hopatcong Museum has
helped as well.
“The folks at the Lake
Hopatcong Historical
Museum at the State Park

have also been
very helpful with providing
material, and we in turn
have tried to help them by
putting up several pages that
advertise the museum and
their gift shop,” Said
Balston.
When asked what was
the most popular part of the
site, Balston shared that it
was the Bertrands Island
Park page.
“That page alone gets
over 200 visitors every
week. There is a growing
interest in nostalgia among
baby boomers wanting to
revisit their glory days, and
for many in the area,
Bertrand Island was part of
that,” he noted.
Balston also shared that
there are several other inter-
esting historical tidbits
about Landing: the Ice
House, Paddle Boats,
Explosives Factory, and the
hotels.
“……turn of the century
Landing had two large
resort hotels that catered to
an upscale clientele coming
in on the trains from the
cities to the east. One of
them was the Westmoreland
Hotel located on the hill just
above today's Station
Hardware store. A second
was the Silver Spring House
located on the shores of
Lake Hopatcong in today's
Silver Spring neighborhood
of Landing. Both of these
Tell Them You Saw It In The Morris Canal News • April 2009 • Page 15
were large structures, and
offered full meals and activ-
ities. The Westmoreland
Hotel closed in the 1920s,
and the Silver Spring house
in the 1930s, “ shared
Balston.
People sharing memories
is what this website is all
about; this is how Balston
gets the information he
shares.
“As people have visited
the website and seen that it
is truly noncommercial, just
a product of one of their
neighbors, they've been
very willing to share scans
of old photos and postcards
and send me additional
images and information that
could be used on the site.
