Flanders Church Does An Extreme Make-Over

By Elsie Walker n the early days of this country, neighbors used to band together for a houseraising, building a home to help a family. These days that idea has been revamped as shown on by ABCs Extreme Home Makeover. In that spirit of helping a neighbor, and using the concept of the ABC show, the United Presbyterian Church of Flanders has reached out to an area family to help in a makeover of its own. It was late last year when Rev. Rick Oppelt was asked by a pastor friend in another area if Oppelt would look in on a parishioners relatives that lived near the Presbyterian church. When Oppelt got to the house, things looked fine. Appearances can be deceiving. You dont know of the needs behind closed door, said Oppelt The family of seven was going through a tough time. The father had been injured and could no longer work at his usual trade. As with many in this economically strapped time, things are rough. The parents were trying to help themselves by re-engineering themselves for new careers. And while on the outside, the house seemed fine, inside was a different story. I was aghast, said Oppelt. There were exposed beams, walls

unpainted, the kitchen cabinets were not functional, and much more. A good deal of the damage in the house was due to pipes having frozen, since the house had been vacant for a while before the family moved into it While the church helped to make the familys Christmas a happy one, it was realized that more could be done. Here was a need in their local area. Why dont we do something in our own backyard, thought Oppelt. Oppelt asked church member Marty Thompson to take a look at the house. He felt Thompson had a better feel for repair work than he did and could access the needs. The need was great, said Thompson. They realized that the family could not fix it themselves. Meanwhile, Thompson knew that the churchs congregation had a wide range of skill sets and a very giving spirit. Then, every other Saturday for four Saturdays, working around the familys schedule, a team went to work, sheet rocked ceilings and walls, taped and spackled joints, sanded joints, painted, and insulted walls. Women of the church prepared meals for the workers. The team worked on the kitchen, foyer, and living room, and

Volunteers from the United Presbyterian Church of Flanders do an extreme makeover on the interior of a home. while better, there is still work to finish up. They plan to return to the job in the fall. I can't emphasis enough the willingness of our team to just jump in and help. They are truly wonderful, caring people, said Thompson. It was noted that during a meal break, one church member commented that projects like the extreme makerover remind him why he loves the United Presbyterian Church of Flanders. The makeover wont be the end for the family and the church. Oppelt notes that that he feels the church will have an ongoing relationship with the family, even after the maker over is finished.

Jerseylicious Films at Flanders Valley Wedding & Banquets

By Cheryl Conway ocal Jerseylicious fans cant miss the third series of the reality show, especially in early July, when the location may look all too familiar. About 40 crew members of the television series crowded the lobby of the Flanders Valley Wedding & Banquets in Flanders in April for a television shoot as part of their third series. A bride from Mt. Arlington, her parents and four ladies in the bridal party got glammed up before the wedding as part of the show. Jerseylicious is an American reality television series airing on the Style Network that follows employees of the Gatsby Salon in Green Brook. Being on location at Flanders Valley for one of its episodes was an exiting opportunity for those involved. I was extremely excited to be a part of something like this, says Flanders Valley general manager Anthony Piccirillo. Working in the catering business for the past 15 years, Piccirillo says he always had aspirations in television production but catering took over. With a background in production, Piccirillo used to work in a studio as a production assistant for Comedy Central in New York. I was always hoping to merge the television world and catering, says Piccirillo. I was psyched. For the Jerseylicious shoot, Piccirillo says we will hopefully appear as the caterer in the reality show. We do have a part as a caterer in the show. The crew of Jerseylicious- actresses, producers, directors, production assistants and television technicians, were on location at Flanders Valley on Friday, April 29. They set up a

makeshift bridal room right in the front lobby of the catering hall. We have a bridal room for hair make up and brides, says Piccirillo, but to accommodate all the equipment, we created an impromptu bridal room in the lobby also because of the higher ceiling. A bride from Mt. Arlington was getting married later that evening so the make-up artists and hair-stylists- who are the real actresses on the show- styled the hair and put on makeup for the bride, four ladies in her bridal party and her parents. The TV crew filmed the actresses glam out the bridal party, explains Piccirillo. The bride, who is a client of one of the make-up artists from the show- refused comment and to identify herself until the show is aired next month. With her wedding ceremony at 5:30 for 125 people, the crew broke down the set, cleaned everything out, says Piccirillo. We were absolutely spotless in the lobby. The production company brought their own cleaning supplies. They were so good they had everything done and cleaned out. With this unique experience, Flanders Valley was still able to provide the couple an exclusive wedding all ready to go. Flanders Valley also acted as craft services to the television production crew. Crews are entitled to a meal while they are working, explains Piccirillo, so he provided a staff meal for a 40-person crew. An event catering facility, Flanders Valley provides one elegant event at a time, explains Piccirillo, who has worked

there since 2002. Each event is tailored to fit the needs of every client whether its a wedding, bar/bat mitzva, anniversary, birthday, golf outing or charity event. Customers who contract at Flanders Valley can expect individual service with a boutique atmosphere rather than factory-like; unbelievable, beautiful country setting; and affordable price. For more information, go to Flandersvalleyweddings.com. To see the local bride glammed out by the hair-styling, make-up artist actresses, watch Jerseylicious on the Style Network. The series follows the personal and professional lives of the owners and several hair stylists and make-up artists in NJ who work in the Gatsby Salon. Production began in Oct. 2009 after producers began casting the series the year prior. In its third season with 665,000 viewers for its premiere, Jerseylicious, - The Style Network's number one series returned for 20 all-new episodes in its most dramatic season yet, on Sunday, May 15, at 8 p.m. ET/PT according to a press release from Style. The record-breaking hit series returns with cat fights, diva behavior and some surprising life-changing makeovers. The new season of the one-hour comedy reality-soap promises to bring more of the big nails, tan bodies, big hair, outrageous outfits and larger than life New Jersey personalities. "Jerseylicious" is produced by Endemol USA for The Style Network, the destination for women 18-49 with a passion for the best in relatable, inspiring and transformational lifestyle programming, according to the Style press release.

By Josh Lashley hether you were a student-athlete on the roster, a coach or a fan of the Mount Olive High School boys lacrosse program there is likely a sense of pride for what the Marauders were able to accomplish this spring. Mt. Olive tallied 14 victories on the season and earned a spot in the NJSIAA State Group III bracket. In the second round of the Group III State tournament, Mt. Olive was defeated, 12-9, by Kingsway. Further, they had an impressive record of 8-1 in league competition. Beyond a feeling of pride for the 2011 season, a feeling of encouragement and optimism for the future of the program is warranted. We return a lot of our defensive starters and our goalie, Marauder head coach David Gallucci said. We have promising current sophomores and juniors ready to step up in offensive roles. We're looking to schedule more competitive, better non-conference games next year and take a step towards being an elite team in the state. What greatly helped Mt. Olive toward success this spring was the attitude, performance and commitment of those players

who emerged as team leaders. Tyler Schiess outworks the competition, Gallucci said. He knows his role as a defensive middie and is a team playercaptain. Russell Sinicin was a captain on defense who always plays against the other teams best player. Pete Shaver always drew the other teams best defenseman. He scored his 100th career goal this year. Nick Verrone was the heart and hustle of the team. Tyler McEvoy, a junior midfielder, had 30 goals and 22 assists (prior to the States). Several players were able to make adjustments and become better lacrosse players as the season progressed. Amongst those were Aaron Gonzalez, Teddy Muller, Connor Buoye and Brandyn Merkle. Gonzalez became a go-to attackman for us this year and has played with a bad hamstring all year, Gallucci said. Muller became a prominent midfielder,- his energy and charisma is a spark for the team. Buoye is a hard working kid with deceptive speed and agility in tight spaces. Merkle, our goalie, sparks a lot of offense with his ability to clear the ball with precision and accuracy.

Sandys Liquors and The Public House Host Wine Tasting Dinner

By Cheryl Conway andys Wine & Spirits in Budd Lake paired up with the Publick House in Chester last month for its first wine tasting dinner. Held 6 p.m. on Wednesday, May 18, more than 55 adults attended the four-course, wine- paired, exotic food dinner in the Publick Houses new banquet room. Pedroncelli Wine from Sonoma County, California, along with the wine maker herself, was featured at the event. The purpose for the wine tasting was to increase interaction between Sandys Wine & Spirits store and her customers, promote wines sold at her store and enjoy a fabulous dinner accompanied with well paired wines. We want to get more interactive sessions so we get to know customers, explains Sandy Kranti, co-owner of Sandys Wine & Spirits. We want to teach people about the different wines. The food is good so wine is paired much better with the food. Kranti explains, The wines are good and the prices are good. We wanted people to try them out and they match well with food. They are highly rated wines. The first event of its kind, Sandys Wine & Spirits may plan a Beer and Wine Festival in August or September in Mt. Olive. Rohan Kranti, also a co-owner, says he likes to promote boutique wines that he offers at the store. We have a ton. We get new wines everyday. We taste those wines; we know whats good. Sandys Wine & Spirits, located at Village Green Shopping Center on Route 46 west, held its grand opening

in Nov. 2010. Kranti owned Sandys Discount Liquors which was located at Route 46 East in Budd Lake for the past 10 years. She closed that store on Oct. 29 to open her new business, Sandys Wine & Spirits. The 6,000 square foot facility offers an extensive selection of beer, fine wine and alcohol with several isles of various wines, a fine wine cooler, 26-door beer cooler and microbrews or specialty beer. Kranti features wines from the Pedroncelli Winery, which were served at the wine tasting dinner for customers to try. Their wines are great phenomenal wines, says Rohan Kranti. Their winery provides a good environment for farming, sustainable farming that does not use pesticides. For the cocktail hour, the Pedroncelli Sauvignon Blanc and Syrah Ridge Ranch wines were served. For the first course, participants enjoyed Dry Sherry Lobster Bisque with Pedroncelli Chardonnay. The next course was a Grilled Vegetable Tower drizzled with Aged Balsamic Vinegar paired with Pedroncelli Merlot Pinch Vineyard. A Grilled Yellow Fin Tuna served over Peach and Mango Black Bean Salsa was served with the Pedroncelli Dry Rose Zinfandel. A Classic Centercut Filet Mignon with a Jack Daniels demi-glace Green Peppercorn Sauce Cut followed with Pedroncelli Three Vineyards Cabernet Sauvignon and Mother Clone Zinfandel dinner wines. An assortment of dessert was served last along with Pedroncelli 4 Grapes Vintage Port. Julie Pedroncelli St. John, third-generation owner of the winery, also spoke at the event about the winery and the family business.

Since 1927, when John Pedroncelli, Sr. purchased vineyard and a small winery in Sonoma County's Dry Creek Valley, two elements remain unchanged: the exceptional place the Pedroncelli family farms vineyards, and the family's dedication to making fine wines. The family owns 105 acres now, says Pedroncelli, some that date back to the 1940s and others that are more recent. She recalls how she watched the vineyard since she was five years old. Now her office is her old bedroom. Pedroncellis original plan was to major in English and writing. I loved liberal arts, she says. My dad told me to do what you want to do. Basically when I finished working toward publishing, I missed Sonoma County- I missed the winery! she says. She worked there for the past 26 years and says I really enjoy it. She had to learn about the wines, how to prune a vine, the whole process, take classes. She wound up in the marketing and sales end of the business, which allows her to write the companys monthly newsletter. Telling her familys story, how her grandfather started the business and how the heritage keeps going on, is what Pedroncelli enjoys most about the business. Wine is our way of life and thats what we live. Its who we are- sharing that is the joy of my life. A nice evening was had by all. The wine pairs so beautifully with all of the food we had tonight, says Pedroncelli. The food was superb, says Laura Hars of Budd Lake. I love sampling all the different types of wines. I only drink continued on page 14

3rd Kindness Tour...


continued from page 2 Then peering out their bus windows the students couldnt miss the parents driving in a chain reactioncar windows painted with our message Kindness Matters, describes Scotland. The magic continued all day longsmile after smile, effort, energy, and partnership. Most amazing was the little piece of goodness that we were able to leave behindtogether one stop at a time. Their first stop was at the Warren Haven Nursing Home, where the children got to visit with their elderly friends. The seniors came to CMS twice this year, says Scotland. It was our turn to go visit them at their home. The children sang their spring musical entitled Arf, gave each resident a handmade flower with warm conversation, and donated a birdhouse/birdfeed to the nursing home. From there, the students went to the Trinity Food Pantry to deliver canned-good foods that they collected ahead of time from their school family. The pantry volunteers shared with the boys and girls how the pantry helps others in their time of need. Each child then took some food and placed it on the pantry shelves; donated a Shoprite Gift Card to be used to purchase other items; and gave the food pantry a beautiful Kindness Pass It On banner that they made to be hung in the pantry. Next stop: Hometown Hardware Store, where the students learned all about gardening such as the various types of plants and how to care for them and they got to practice planting flowers in a planter. Each child picked out a flower to take back with them as well as their planting tips they learned so they could plant flowers on school grounds after lunch that day. Another banner was left for the hardware store. At their last stop, students visited the Budd Lake Post Office to mail out warm thank-you letters that they wrote to the troops. The students left another banner behind at the post office. When the students returned to school they enjoyed a celebratory picnic in the school courtyard. After lunch each class had a specific location to beautify. Using our new plants, sand buckets, shovels, and last bit of energy the children pulled weeds, prepared the soil, planted their new flowers, and coated the area with mulch, says Scotland. The goal was to create a refreshing look for our school property so that visitors and the school population could enjoy the surroundings. After all of their hard work, the students were given a special snack- Dirt Cups- made by the room parents- their own touch of kindness, says Scotland. The day was enjoyed by all and will leave a lasting impression and lesson for years to come. Each venue offered snapshot moments, leaving the participant with a wonderful memory, says Scotland. It could have been an elderly persons exchange with a student, a childs reaction to knowing they have helped to feed a person that is hungry, learning how to care for their surroundings, or a simple thank you in a letter. In truth I think the tour is still being enjoyed through reflection, conversation, and in the ownership that is felt when walking by a flower that was planted on this very special day. The tour would not have been possible without the help of the community. CMS was given a $700.00 grant from Target Co.; the CMS school community contributed canned goods; mulch was donated for planting; WRNJ Radio donated air time for this special event and interviewed children on the radio giving kindness a voice; and parents donated their time and energy to assist in this special day. It is always extraordinary when teachers, parents, and the community come together for a common cause, concludes Scotland. A warm thank you to everybody that believes in kindness.

Sandys Liquors...
continued from page 11 Chardonnay. I would never be this openminded. I liked pairing the wine with the different food- it does matter. Mary Tritt of Budd Lakes says I havent been to a wine tasting in years. I thought it would be fun. I am amazed at how the wines compliment with the food menu. Tritt shops at Sandys Wine & Spirits for the convenience. If theres a certain wine that Ive had from someone else they will get it for me. It is well stocked, has a huge variety now that she moved and it looks like she provides finer wines. The owner is very knowledgeable and nice. Rita Merring of Budd Lake attended the wine dinner in order to expand my knowledge of wine. She says she likes to go to Sandys for great service, friendly people and good product. Chris Morrison of Mendham, who attended the dinner with seven of her lady friends, says We like to support the Publick House and it was something different to do. This was her first wine tasting. It was good, a lot of fun, a good excuse for a night out, says Morrison. Her friend, Lynn Hove of Chester, formerly of Budd Lake, says she was heading up to Sandys that weekend to buy some of the wines that she enjoyed at the dinner. Im normally not a white wine drinker but the food definitely enhanced the taste, says Hove. Joyce Paladino of Budd lake also likes to shop at Sandys mostly for beer and sometimes wine. The new store is lovely and offers a big selection of wines, says Paladino. She enjoyed the wine tasting accompanied with the different foods. As you taste the spice the rose is not as bitter, comments Paladino, while eating the tuna. Barbara Longue, who represents a dozen of different wineries, explains how the wine tasting dinner allows wine drinkers a chance to try several wines and discover what they like with the variety of spices in the foods. You figure it out- do you like dry with the spicy? says Longue. What someone else likes is totally irrelevant. Its whatever you like. Longue helped pair the wines with the menu courses that the Publick House had chosen for the event. This was a fabulous wine and food pairing, says Longue. One tip that Pedroncelli shared is that when matching chardonnay, foods that have either half cream or butter do pair well. Those tend to speak with the chardonnay,

she explains. The acidity of the chardonnay cuts through the fat with the butter. Built in 1810, the Publick House offered a quant location for the wine dinner in the heart of Chester. Formerly a hotel and tavern, nearly 200 years later, this historic, gathering place has been fully restored with even more additions to provide exceptional food, wine and entertainment. I loved the room, says Hars, very open and spacious; it added to the experience. With a capacity of 85, the new banquet room is one of three new rooms added on to the Publick House, according to general

food manager Moe Elghettey. The House is going through a facelift, he says, with new menus, fully stocked bar, private rooms, new martinis, as well as ladies night out and entertainment on Wednesdays and Fridays, along with weekend entertainment on the outside patio. The wine tasting was the first of its kind at the Publick House, he says, adding that he plans to add the Pedroncelli wine to his wine list. The wine dinner was such as hit he plans to feature wine tastings once monthly from now on.

Dear Editor, oo many times in life we are quick to write letters when someone has done something wrong or negative. Please print my letter about Coach Greg. It was time to write a letter about a positive experience and share with others the impact he is making on our boys. Last night we witnessed something that is rare in the world we live in these days sacrifice for the sake of another. It was the bottom of the 5th inning (last inning due to loss of daylight) and our team was winning 10-7. The visiting team was going up to bat. Could our three run lead hold? It would depend on who our coach put in for a pitcher. From the dugout came a boy from our team who had never pitched before. Could he even get the ball across the plate? Some were wondering why him? Why now? Its because our coach believes that everyone has the potential to be great

and deserves a chance. Because our coach is teaching our boys a most important lesson; love the game, not the win. We have never been more proud of our coach as we were at this moment. We cannot say that all the parents agreed with his choice, but that little boy likely went home to dream about the perfect inning he pitched, not the game that was lost. The smile on his face as he stood on the mound will stay with us forever. Greg Paoli, we thank you most sincerely. Your love of the game and our boys is amazing. We know our son is on the right team with the right coach. A coach that will give him the encouragement to try anything, be there to dust him off and set him right when he fails, and encourage him to try again. The Mount Olive Baseball and Softball League have found a treasure in you. Sincerely, The Boos Family

Dr. Haze Introduces New Stem Cell Procedure

efore giving away another tooth to the tooth fairy this year, Dr. Haze wants to let his patients know that saving a childs baby teeth could ensure their health in the future. As an Orthodontist to many young children, Dr. Haze is spreading the word about Store-A-Tooth, and Stem Save: two companies that extract adult stem cells (not embryonic) from baby and wisdom teeth and store them for as long as 20 years. Its a great new discovery that can really be helpful to someones future, said Haze. Although stem cell research was off to a rocky start in the early 2000s, new discoveries have been found that dont include saving umbilical cords or painfully extracting bone marrow, therefore eliminating controversy. The stem cells that come from teeth can regenerate solid tissue, something blood cord stem cells cannot. This regeneration can eliminate things like dentures or implants in the future, and could even help

treatments for conditions like Muscular Dystrophy and Type 1 Diabetes. When a patient needs an extraction, Dr. Haze will refer him or her to a general dentist or oral surgeon. A lot of kids are getting their wisdom teeth or other teeth out anyway, so this is just killing two birds with one stone, said Haze. Once extracted, the doctor will send the tooth to Store-A-Tooth or Stem Save where it will be tested for stem cells and the patient will get a final report back with the findings. Viable teeth can be stored. The unviable teeth will be discarded. Although its most effective to save baby teeth, which have the most powerful stem cells, adults can save their teeth as well; in this case, though, the earlier, the better. Think of this procedure as a sort of medical/dental savings account. Im telling every patient I have about it, said Haze. For more information, contact Dr. Haze at 973-426-9184

Churches Play Ball


By Elsie Walker " hurches are not simply buildings that people attend on Sundays, but organizations that offer fellowship and an atmosphere of togetherness. The [North Jersey Christian] softball league allows the church to offer that in a nonthreatening way. This is indeed outreach in its purest from. Players bring their families to games and the church society extends from the sanctuary to the sidelines, " is the way league Commissioner Gary Lieberman remembers how the late Knute Seebohnn, used to describe the league. Each spring and summer, teams from local area churches come together for love of the game, fun, fellowship, and sometimes.bragging rights. Playing in the NJCSL gives me a great opportunity to get to know people from my church and other teams in the league in an informal setting. I have made dozens of good friends over the years. Many people have joined the team without knowing anyone, but by the end of the softball season they have made connections with 10 to 15 other people, said Scott Mulligan. Mulligan coaches a team from the Bethlehem Church in Randolph. The church has had a team for over 30 years. It plays in the competitive part of the league. It addition to a competitive part of the league, there is the fellowship league made up of teams which just like to play just for the fun of it. Playing in the Fellowship the league is the team from Mount Olive Community Bible Church. Joe Weston is its captain. This is the teams 10th year The NJCSL is a special opportunity to provide fun and fellowship to church members that want to have fun playing a sport with other Christians. Softball, especially coed softball, is an opportunity for church goers to play a sport in a venue that doesnt require a certain level of accomplishment needed to play in a competitive league for thirtysomething athletes who have played a particular sport their whole life. Aside from the fun generated from the actual sport, the players get to meet Christians from other churches. At the final game of the season, teams often invite each other to their bench for a barbeque or snacks. A open prayer is said by the home captain before the game and another prayer afterwards, generally by the visiting captain.. The league rings to the mound people from a variety of background. No one knows that better than league Commission Lieberman: We have electrical inspectors, opera singers, CEO's,

Past team picture of the Bethlehem Church softball team.


CISO's, school teachers, police officers, mechanics, students, general workers, correctional officers, dad's, mom's and so on, who gather together each week to pray and then share the joy of the Lord in the form of a softball game. I joined the league is 1986 and have been involved in the league management almost since that time. I am a SVP of Enterprise Computing for Lazard, a global investment bank, I teach Internet and Enterprise Security at Caldwell College and I am a doctoral candidate at Nova Southeastern University where I am studying for a PhD in computer information systems specializing in information security. I also pitch and play second base for Holy Faith Lutheran Church(Oak Ridge) . I'll be 60 on July 4th and still going strong, he said. Age is another thing that sets this league apart from others. It is intergenerational. Players start at age 16. From 16 99, joked Port Morris UMC-Stanhope UMC captain, Robbie Post. Many teams have from teens to seniors. Post, a senior herself, plays short stop or outfield. In the past, her team has had three generations of the same family playing on the field. It's great to show how well the fellowship gets along and all the fun we have together. It's a great way to meet other people from the other churches. It's nice to have new friends and it shows how much everyone cares about each other, said Post. The league has a special place in the churches hearts, and no one knows that better than the people and team at United Presbyterian Church of Flanders. It even has its own softball field. And, though it took a 10-year hiatus from the league, it is now back and ready to play. On June 16th, the team and members of the church will hold a brief ceremony to dedicate the ball their field in memory of Bill Gunn. Bill passed away suddenly in May 2010, at the age of 61. Bill was an instrumental founding member of United Presbyterian Churchs original softball team and constructing our field over two decades ago. Without his vision, enthusiasm and dedication, we would not be playing on our home field today. He was also a very talented and competitive softball player. A small plaque has been erected in his honor at the field, said team captain Mike Dzurina. Dzurina noted a tradition that Gunn started at the church was to have post-game hot-dogs and refreshments with the opposing team. That is something the teams have in common: fellowship and comradely. The NJCSL gives new meaning to the phrase: it is not whether you win or losebut how you play the game.

Freshen Up Happy Hour

Drinks and dishes are full of flavor and come in smaller portions, so guests can mix and match little bites and mouthwatering sips all night long. This recipe make use of an unexpected, wholesome ingredient pure maple syrup from Canada. This all-natural syrup adds a hint of sweetness and depth of flavor that makes each cocktail pairing shine. Maple syrup is a healthy and tasty pick when choosing a sweetener. It comes directly from tree sap and has a wide range of nutrients and antioxidants not found in other sweeteners. According to the University of Rhode Island, maple syrup from Canada features 54 antioxidants, some of which are similar to those found in super foods like berries, tea, red wine and flaxseed. Visit www.purecanadamaple.com, become a fan of Canada Maple Syrup on Facebook, or follow @PureCanadaMaple on Twitter for more recipes to redo your happy hour. Cooking with Maple Syrup Maple syrup comes in different grades. Syrup made from

sap tapped at the beginning of harvest is clearer and more delicate in taste. As the season advances, maple syrup becomes darker and more intense in flavor. The natural sweetener offers a variety of flavor components, including nutty, vanilla, coffee, caramel and floral notes. Grade A maple syrup is meant for everyday use and can easily be found at the grocery store. Curious how to use the different grades of maple syrup for cooking? Grade A Light works well in salad vinaigrettes, and Grade A Medium or Dark taste delicious on breads or as a rub on meats. All pure maple syrup grades are a great substitute for sugar or simple syrup in cocktails or non-alcoholic drinks.

Thomas Edisons Quest To Get America Plugged In Was Not An Easy Feat Even With Horsepower

by Michele Guttenberger magine if a celebrated scientific inventor came to your town to bring a new type of power and technology that the world had never experienced before. Your town would get the first prototype and it would soon revolutionize the modern world. The town was Brockton, Massachusetts. The inventor was Thomas Alva Edison and the year was 1882. This was when the world's first standardized central power system was conceived for the city of Brockton months before Edisons plans for New York City. Edisons 1880 patent for a three wire underground electrical system became a working reality at Brockton. He and the Edison Electric Illuminating Company electrified the theater, fire station, shoe factory, high school and the residential home of Colonel Whipple. Although, Edison would be world renowned for his incandescent light bulb, he realized that his electrical inventions could not have indispensible household importance without a centralized network of power plugged in to each building. As strong as his passion was to develop a better light bulb, so was his determination to see his vision of average American towns and cities wired to central power stations. To sum up Edisons vision in his own words "We will make electricity so cheap that only the rich will burn candles. The completion of the crown jewel of The Brockton Operation came on December 30, 1884, when the first electrically operated fire station showcased an automated alarm system. In 1884, the horsepower to move these fire engines was literally powered by horses. With the new Edison system (tagged as the Getaway) once an alarm

came in, every light was automatically turned on; electric impulses dropped weights which unlatched horse stalls to exit out the horses. Once the horse was in its assigned position, a motor and pulley system that suspended the harness gear directly above them, now automatically lowered it onto their backs. This marvelous moment was made possible by the power of electricity. But, this modern feat was not received with joy by everyone. Edison did not count on regional bureaucrats determined to throw a monkey wrench in the path of electrical automation. Edison faced the red tape of occupancy like permits. He had to battle a coalition of insurance lobbyists with intentions to sway state officials to terminate his automated system on the grounds of safety issues. The State Bureau of Insurance Companies favored gas companies and stated that it would continue to view gas as the only safe method of illumination. The Bureau also demanded express written permission on all future insurance policies regarding the use of Edison-generated electricity in Brockton buildings or else their fire insurance would be invalidated. Edison was ordered to cease this technology. The hostile and slanderous reception of his Brockton Operation left Edison to dash any thoughts of promoting positive notoriety of Brocktons successful feats through the companys own campaign material. Edison would build his fanfare and accolades from the political friendly Pearl Street generating station and electrical power distribution system. This station was powered up on September 4, 1882 and it provided 110 volts of DC -Direct Current to 59 customers in lower Manhattan. According to a recent Brockton historian, when the fire-

houses favorite horse Billy B. Darned died, the handsome steed to be its successor was respectfully named Tommy Edison. Apparently the Brockton Fire Department was delighted with Edisons ingenuity.
