Little League history.. for Montague!
For the longest time that most younger families recall, Montague has had the opportunity for its young people to play under baseball leagues from our section of Sussex County, or in the Tri-State Area.
However... as of 2011 - Montague Township is now chartered to have its very own Little League and its players will proudly sport "MONTAGUE" shirts!
Learning to appreciate what surrounds us... !
Montague Township abuts the Wild and Scenic Delaware River and lies to the north of the famous Water Gap. Montague links to that land feature via the Delaware Water Gap National Recreation area, which also covers adjacent PA.
DISCOVERING DELAWARE WATER GAP, A Field Book for Young Naturalists can help us value what is here and better understand the unique qualities of this part of NJ.

Possible snowstorm[s] ahead..
so cuddle up with a good book,
or [as long as we don't lose electricity] you might access the 1881 copy of James P. Snell's History of Warren and Sussex County via the "Read Online" option and have fun learning about life and people from our county's past.
PS: Daylight is starting to last longer.. think Spring!

Welcoming 2011 on 1/1/11! News:
Township Committee reorganized and re-elected Joseph Barbagallo as mayor for 2011, George Zitone - Deputy Mayor.
A representative of the EL PASO Corp., overseeing the Tennessee Gas Pipeline's Northeast upgrade, will be in attendance at the first regularly scheduled township meeting to update residents on the status of their project . There is pending a proposal for a new loop to be created through part of the township. It would veer off from the existing Right of Way (ROW) that crosses High Point State Park and enters the High Point Country Club. It would cross Clove Rd. about a 1/4 mile north of the mini-mall and continue to head NW - crossing River Rd. in the vicinity of New Mashipacong Road and cross Mashipacong Island into PA. The existing ROW crosses Clove Rd. by the Township offices and DPW, but may not be reused.

"You better watch out, you better not cry, ...."
Though these words normally are sung in Dec. to remind folks to be on the lookout and ready for Santa.. it's also a word of advice during the latter week of deer hunting, and also with the arrival of freshly fallen snow and potential black ice [and equally treacherous grit, if driven onto too quickly].. to drive alert and with caution, leaving room between vehicles, and abiding by posted speed limits.
FYI As survey stakes are more noticed throughout the middle of town.. folks are now aware that the Tennessee Gas Pipeline Northeast Upgrade is deciding upon the route to use for their upgrade - already in the works as part of their 300 line in Vernon. Originally, the existing Tennessee Gas ROW and pipeline was put through in the 1950's. There is a proposal to add a new loop because the Delaware Water Gap National Recreation Area was created afterwards, so using the original route would require new federal legislation, as the NPS does not have the authority to allow use of the existing ROW on Federal land. The proposed route would cross Clove Rd. above the Mini-mall and proceed towards the Delaware River and cross River Rd. near New Mashipacong. Scoping meetings have been held.
