Netcong Businesses Help Chase the Winter Blues Away

Tired of cold weather, ice and snow? Has this winter taken its toll, inspiring visions of warm and sunny days ahead? The businesses in Netcong can’t change the weather or make spring show up any sooner. Many can help address some of the seasonal problems that go along with dreary days, sub-zero temperatures, slick road conditions and perilous potholes!

If your vehicle has suffered winter-related damage or requires some professional care to get it running right, “all roads lead to Netcong.” Alternative Auto (140 Allen Street) is one of many local automotive service providers who have earned glowing reviews for the quality of their work and customer service. Mike R. from Long Valley had this to say in a recent review he posted on Yelp. “Family owned and operated, the guys at Alternative Automotive in Netcong are the best.  You won't find anyone more honest than Frank and his two sons.  Their workmanship is top notch.  I wouldn't trust my cars with anyone else.”

From frozen pipes to faulty furnaces, this winter’s extreme temperatures have tested many local homes and businesses. When it comes to keeping things warm and cozy in winter and cool in summer, longtime Netcong resident Eddie Koster of Koster Plumbing & Heating (39 Maple Avenue) is one of many trusted, professional service providers serving the community year round.

When its wintry outside, many people are thinking soup instead of salad as a way to warm up inside. How about a steaming bowl of homemade Pasta Fagioli from Ron’s Landmark (85 Main Street/ronslandmark.com), or another hearty favorite from one of the many fine restaurants and specialty food stores in Netcong?

This winter has had an impact on people both emotionally and physiologically, according to Garry Gewant, director and lead hypnotherapist at Hyp 4 Life (hyp4life.org), located in the Historic Hugh Allen Mansion on Main Street. “Seasonal Stress Disorder is much like phobias or panic attacks in that it’s not a behavior to change, but more of a feeling people don’t understand,” Gewant noted. “When you are inundated with stress from winter related causes it can really take a toll. Hypnotherapy can be helpful in addressing these issues, in addition to things like anger management, smoking cessation, stress management, weight control and more,” he concluded.
