Roxbury’s Justin Cordeiro Epitome of Scout of the Year

H

By Jillian Risberg e was named Scout of the Year 2022 for the Skylands Region and that means everything to Justin Cordeiro, who says achieving the highest rank in the Scouts program has taught him dedication, to always work hard and serve others.

“I have become self confident, a leader, and a committed citizen of my community and country,” Cordeiro says. “I will apply these lifelong skills into college, career and adult life.”

The 21-year-old says he didn’t know anything about the honor and his mom, troop leaders, teachers and family all kept the surprise from him.

Walter Burkat, a Roxbury High School French teacher and Eagle Scout nominated Cordeiro and calls him an exceptional young man.

“The Boy Scouts of America are, without a doubt, lucky to have him among their ranks to Eagle,” says Burkat. “Justin exemplifies everything it means to be a true Scout.”

The Roxbury High School graduate will be attending County College of Morris in the fall. He currently works at the Walmart Supercenter in Ledgewood.

According to Burkat, Cordeiro is dedicated to improving himself daily, has an unsurpassed work ethic, and is a true friend and Scout to his fellow Scouts.

“If someone were to look up ‘Scout’ in the dictionary, they would find Justin’s picture there,” Burkat says.

The award was presented May 18 at the Skylands District, Patriots Path Council’s first annual Recognition Dinner at Picatinny Arsenal.

Skylands District Recognition Chair Bob Brady says Cordeiro was chosen immediately and unanimously by everyone in the Awards Committee.

A Scout since 2011 with 92 Merit Badges, Cordeiro is no stranger to awards.

He has earned numerous others, including the Outdoor Ethics Awareness Award, SCOUTStrong PALA and Nova Awards, and he’s served as patrol leader, troop’s librarian, den chief, junior assistant scoutmaster and senior patrol leader.

Marcia Cordeiro is proud of her son’s accomplishments, not only as a scout but a respectful and eager young man, classmate and student.

“Justin is a loving and caring son, grandson, cousin and nephew,” says the district Spanish teacher. “He is the picture perfect man for everyone to look up to and follow.”

And Justin’s selfless spirit was in full effect when he came up with his Eagle project for the Hillside Lutheran Brethren Church in Succasunna. There he will be remodeling

the youth group hallway — removing the existing wallpaper and rug, and painting the hallway’s wall and floor.

He says the total price tag is $1,050 (materials cost $450, supplies $400, tools $100, other $100 rental).

“The goal of my project is to provide a welcoming and warm environment for fellow youth members and leaders of the Hillside Youth Group,” he says. “It will also enhance the township’s recognition of the work, influence and positive impact members and leaders of Hillside Church have on the township’s youth.”

In order to accomplish this, the 21-yearold will be fundraising over the summer and asking for donations at various local businesses.

He calls it an honor to be able to share this Eagle Project with his church and the Roxbury community at large, which has been part of the Cordeiro family (Marcia and Justin) since he was four-years-old.

There are several ways one may help.

“Volunteer to work side-by-side, handson in the project, donate meals and beverages for all the volunteers, provide financial donations for renting equipment, tools and purchasing materials,” says Justin.

Even when the scout starts college, he intends to give back.

“I will continue to be part of Troop 188

and guide the upcoming scouts so they may learn and follow in my footsteps,” Justin says down the road expect him as an artist and scout counselor within the Scouts of BSA program.

The year-round program provides fun, adventure, learning, challenge and responsibility for 11-17-year-olds to help them become the best version of themselves.

At the end of the day, Justin credits Marcia for teaching him that with the blessings of God, love and dedication you may accomplish anything in life.

“As a single mom, she has always worked hard to advocate for and support me with all the love and care in this world.”

with Saint Clare’s The Link Between Your Diet, Health, and Immunity

A

By Mark J. Bonamo majority of Americans focus on their daily nutrition to lose weight, boost immunity for better health and/or to maintain strength and energy. However, the keys to success for achieving these goals can be found by increasing one’s overall knowledge about the relationship between the nutritional values of foods and their impact on metabolic and immune function.

While this sounds simple, the messages we hear about

diet plans and programs are often confusing at best, and impossible to follow at worst.

However, we can make the correct food choices by simply arming ourselves with accurate information.

According to Liz Silverthorne, Director of Food and Nutrition Services at Saint Clare’s Health, “At a time when immunity has become an even more critical factor in the face of the COVID pandemic, the need to have a positive eating plan is a key way to protect and prolong life.”

“We need to realize that

what we put into our bodies impacts the way we look, the way we feel, and our overall immune health,” said Silverthorne. If there is a positive to the recent global pandemic, is that it forced us to reexamine the importance of focusing on our nutrition and health overall. “You could see this heightened awareness when the vitamin and mineral shelves in the grocery stores were completely wiped clean,” she added.

“Poor nutrition and diet have a link to obesity, which leads to a state of

chronic inflammation in your body that makes it harder to fight off infection.

The importance of eating healthy and making certain your vitamin levels are up as part of fighting obesity has been demonstrated very prominently in the last two years,” Silverthorne added.

“It could affect the severity of any illness, including COVID.” While the fight against COVID has been at the forefront of health concerns since the pandemic first emerged in March 2020, there is always a constant struggle against a regular biological phenomenon that impinges on health: free radicals.

The human body is constantly experiencing oxidative stress. Oxygen in the body splits into single atoms with unpaired electrons. Electrons like to be in pairs, so these atoms, called free radicals, search throughout the body to

Liz Silverthorne, Director of Food and Nutrition Services at Saint Clare’s Health

seek out other electrons so they can become a pair.

This causes damage to cells, proteins and DNA.

Free radicals are associated with human disease, including certain continued on page 7

Silverthorne emphasized that while free radicals are in some ways something that people can’t avoid, they are also compounds created in our bodies that are the result of certain self-inflicted environmental factors.

“Lifestyle choices, such as the excessive use of alcohol and smoking, can accelerate the activity of free radicals as they attack our cells and over time cause chronic conditions and diseases,” Silverthorne said. “Again, we always have to be mindful of what we put into our bodies.”

Fortunately, there is a natural weapon against the deleterious effects of free radicals: antioxidants.

Antioxidants are substances that can prevent

or slow damage to cells caused by free radicals. In certain ways, they are the police force of the human body because antioxidants hunt free radicals, acting as compounds that inhibit oxidative damage. By doing so, they stun and stop the chemical reactions that can produce free radicals and the chain reactions that damage the cells of organisms and cause illnesses.

Silverthorne noted that the search for the natural antioxidant weapons to combat the negative effects of free radicals can be found on your plate, especially in fruits and vegetables.

“Certain superfoods are rich in antioxidants.

They give you the biggest nutritional bang for your buck,” said Silverthorne.

“Diets high in a variety of fruits and vegetables will give you all the antioxidants you need.”

Silverthorne also noted a starting approach to assessing one’s health is knowing your body mass

index. “Weight has a significant impact on overall health, and the body mass index helps you to keep an eye on it,” Silverthorne said, noting the index number is based on height in relation to weight. “The higher that number is, the more likely you are to be susceptible to chronic illnesses, such as diabetes or heart disease.

Silverthorne hoped people take those initial and important steps toward better nutrition and immunity by challenging people to start eating one meal a day that doesn’t come from a package and working toward a goal of five servings of fruit and vegetables a day.

“The best thing you can do for yourself is to take a deep look at your diet.

After you do, make some changes,” said Silverthorne, pointing out that Saint Clare’s offers outpatient nutrition counseling as part of its community approach to health. “Get enough fruit and vegetables. Get enough water. Your body will thank you, and so will your family and friends.”

Christian Drama School Nurtures the Faithful

R

By Jillian Risberg ev. Kim Padfield Urbanik’s passion for people and connecting them with Jesus’ word runs deep.

Feed the hungry. Clothe the naked.

Nourish the thirsty. Heal the sick. Welcome the stranger. Visit the prisoner. And what does it take to bring faith to life?

“It has to do with the (Holy) Spirit. Most people I’ve met have some sense of spirit,” Urbanik says. “I happen to think no matter what God loves you and if you don’t believe in God, God believes in you.”

Rev. Kim has inspired many faith journeys among the youth and says, “Faith is caught, not taught.”

She says it’s important for everyone to know that Christian Drama School loves and welcomes all people — and this is not any particular church view, they have the whole spectrum of humanity.

Urbanik founded CDS (an after-school program for intergenerational students K-12) in 2000 with the support of local pastors and students from several area churches.

She wrote a play, ’According to Women,’ the story of Jesus from women in the bible’s point of view, and flips things around and does plays where they have to act out opposite things — if they do the Grinch they have to be a Sneech or turtle.

“I’m holding it all together; I’m the

glue — people of faith and people without faith. And I’m not the judge,” says Urbanik, citing Mother Theresa’s quote about being ‘a pencil in God’s hands.’ “Sometimes you have to be sharpened because growing and evolving is what it’s all about.”

According to Rev. Kim, ‘Acting is Believing’ is both CDS’s slogan and her teaching philosophy — she helps her students ``feel into” their roles.

“You can’t be a good actor unless you believe that you’re the character,” Urbanik says in the process of doing that, in the faithful parts of the play, one’s faith grows.

“The Holy Spirit works different ways — in the spring we carry the cross and God works a lot through that because the story of Christ is powerful. When they act it out it becomes part of them.”

Other acting teachers teach you how to control your body, your voice, your mind, your feelings, and Rev. Kim says you’re considered a good actor if you can make the audience feel a certain way.

“It’s all about you controlling them,” she says this is completely different. “CDS is all about letting God work through you.

That’s transformative for the kids, which has nothing to do with me because they have to do the praying and become the character.”

Their struggle and endurance since COVID hit encompassed the school closing

CDS Play Performance

on March 16, 2020 and CDS took everything online and over Zoom. Then the pandemic got worse.

They ended up performing the school play in Urbanik’s backyard come June and filmed the production without an audience.

The cast at least had the experience.

“Then we do our Good Friday Cross Carry… instead of having one young man and all the followers in a worship service from the Rockaway Valley United Methodist Church to the Denville Community Church,

there’s a picture of one boy (who played Jesus) and me carrying the cross,” says Rev. Kim. “It was hard on all the students, in terms of isolation.”

Drama school isn’t about the play, according to Urbanik — it’s about the interactive social community that’s built between all the ages. It’s about working together toward a common goal.

“You’re building a parent/child relationship, community relationship, also continued on page 9

Like us on facebook www.facebook.com/mypaperonline.com • Denville, Randolph, Roxbury Life • July 2022 • Page 9

Christian Drama School... continued from page 8 an interfaith relationship,” she says 99 percent of the people there are Christian but different denominations and political views.

“We need to act like Jesus and one of those things is loving everybody. If you’re not loving everybody, you’ve decided this group doesn’t matter.”

People are drawn to the program because it involves the whole family. There is a great sense of community and faithfulness that continues even after students graduate high school and college.

A former CDS student, Erin Hurley Sheffield, recently texted Rev. Kim and she shared with her students ‘you need to know this person, she runs a theater in Pennsylvania — and there’d be no drama school if it wasn’t for her.’

“She was 13 or 14-years-old when she came to the Community Church in Mountain Lakes, where I was a pastor for nine years and joined a youth group because of her cousin,” Urbanik says Erin and Kate were so enthusiastic about what she was doing it helped everything else work. “I have many students who make me better than who I am, so I’m always learning too.”

And CDS partners with Heart for People (H4P), connecting American schools with five schools in Uganda to encourage cultural exchange and accountable international aid.

Former CDS students, Sarah Harrs (Save the Children) and Emma Worrall (finishing up at Princeton Seminary to be a pastor) traveled to Uganda in 2019 to visit the schools.

“When we go there it’s helpful because our presence gives teachers and students hope that there’s somebody who cares about them on the other side of the world,” says Urbanik. “And it helps the kids in the US because it expands their minds about life and how lucky they are to be here.”

Hope is a big thing: If you give people hope you’ve given them a lot.

And you get the sense that you should step up.

“How we do that is with fundraisers,” Rev. Kim says this enables them to send money to the schools whenever they need help.

She says she has the best job in the world… gets to see students transform, sometimes the actual moment.

According to Rev. Kim, witnessing those transformations are very special.

“I get a teenager (boy or girl) who comes in with issues and when they turn themselves over to the play or whatever role they’re playing — it’s there and you can’t deny it. It has to do with self worth,” she says.

Artist Gwen Matthews, Former Denville Student, Lands Package Design Deal with Local Business

2

By: Emily Pirrello 4-Year-Old Gwen Matthews has always had a passion for creativity and art, “It was in high school where I really got started. I took anything involving Graphic Design.” She also took four years of Photography at Morris Knolls as well, fostering the love of her crafts. Matthews also shared her amazing accomplishment of how she won a Graphic Design Contest during her time at Morris Knolls, “Students had to design a banner for Morris Knolls 50th anniversary celebration, and I was the lucky one that got picked!”.

She was also involved in the Spectrum Club at Morris Knolls. This club was responsible for publishing an annual literary magazine filled with student’s artwork and writing, as well as hosting an annual musical event for student and teacher musicians, the Spectrum Coffeehouse. She too even designed the 2015 cover for the Spectrum Literary Publication Magazine at Knolls.

The package design opportunity was a surprise for Matthews. “I started working for My CBD Organics in the beginning of the year, I shared with them my hobbies for Graphic Design and Photography. A few months in, my boss offered me the opportunity to start with a couple designs.” Her employer was incredibly impressed, and her Graphic Design responsibilities have continued to grow with the company. Matthews is excited to continue her Graphic Design journey and cannot wait to see where it takes her next. “Currently I am a Wellness Associate for My CBD Organics. I really love the people I work with. I never

thought I would be able to do anything like this but am so happy my bosses put trust in me in designing their labels.”

Matthews is an inspiration to all young artists, “I never went to college for Graphic Design, I am mainly self-taught and apply a lot of what I learned from my classes and time at Morris Knolls.” She wants those who didn’t go to school for their passions and hobbies to know that “you can always pursue whatever you want, even if you didn’t go to college for it.”

Matthews favorite art medium to create with is anything digital. “The way you can work with certain platforms and the art you can create is limitless.” She finds Digital Art therapeutic, “Creating Digital Art means that I can put whatever I’m thinking into the world, it’s a stress relief for me and definitely an outlet.”

“When it comes to Photography, it means holding on to specific memories that you cherish.”

Matthews loves candid photos, being able to capture true expressions and emotion from individuals. When discussing the impact of art she shared, “When working with any art form you’re able to bring light, color, and positive emotions into the world.”

She finds her inspiration everywhere, “With art you can find inspiration anywhere, though I mainly find my inspiration from feelings, emotions and nature”.

Matthews shared that she’s overcome a fair amount of adversity in her life, “I’m so grateful for the support of my amazing siblings and those in my life. With the support of my loved ones, and using art as a creative outlet, I’m able

to overcome any hardship in my life.”

“This is a big achievement for me, and I thank everyone that got me here today, I’m doing what I love and couldn’t have done that without the help and trust of my bosses and others. I’m very grateful and can’t wait to see what the future holds!”

She also shared that she has some big and exciting things happening in the near future. To keep up with her, follow Matthews creative journey on her Instagram @ _ gw3ndolyn_.

Denville Writer Thrilled Story Included in The Dystopian Guide to the Galaxy

S

By Jillian Risberg ince childhood Emily Pirrello has had a passion for literature and the arts. She always loved creating, from illustrations to iambic pentameter — and expressing her imagination through various mediums.

So, it meant everything to find out her The Rise to Red dystopian science-fiction story about colonizing Mars was accepted into The Dystopian Guide to the Galaxy.

“I am humbled to be included in this anthology, alongside thirteen other amazing authors’ stories,” says Pirrello, who currently works in product development and copywriting.

According to the writer, she spent countless hours researching (with the help of Denville Library), ensuring that her interpretation of the Mars journey was as factual and realistic as possible.

After a worldwide apocalypse (the Cataclysm) causes Earth to be uninhabitable, our species has no choice but to abandon our home planet.

The story follows a young girl, Stella and her intergalactic journey. There also may or may not be a hint of extraterrestrial romance.

It became a dangerous and perilous planet very quickly.

Those that remained stopped talking about Mother Nature’s unusual behavior; it was clear that there was no longer any glimmer of hope. The entire world population knew that there was only so much time left for our dying planet. It was a free-for-all affair.

We were lucky to be shielded from the perpetual violence.

For those two final years on Earth, we were bunkered down in a fallout shelter.

As I step aboard the last interplanetary ship, I try to feel

grateful instead of petrified.

“It’s going to be okay, Stella.”

At the beginning of the pandemic Pirrello created a ‘Bookstagram’ account, where she first connected with a multitude of readers, other writers, publishers and indie authors online.

She decided to throw her hat in the ring to an open anthology submission after she joined a Facebook group, dubbed ‘Dystopian Inkers’ last year. That led to her story Wings being featured in Once Upon A Dystopia — An Anthology Of Twisted Fairytales And Fractured Folklores.

“When I saw they were creating another, I was super excited; especially because I love all things extraterrestrial,” says the writer, adding that she is in the company of many inspiring authors in this anthology.

She calls Heather Carson’s work unique and imaginative.

“I’m impressed and inspired by all she does,” Pirrello says. “And Audrey M. Stevens’ characters are complex and multifaceted. Her writing is captivating.”

“I’ve been lucky to have found such an awesome group of literature enthusiasts,” Pirrello says that being an avid reader has helped mold her into the writer she is today. “As both a reader and writer, I am always interested in going outside my comfort zone.”

In recent years she has been reading and researching middle grade fiction, an area she didn’t explore in her youth.

“I seemed to have skipped Middle Grade and went straight to Young Adult,” says Pirrello. “I didn’t even read my first Harry Potter novel until I was in college.”

Denville Writer Thrilled...

continued from page 12 “I am excited to continue pursuing my passion for literature and writing,” she says.

“Though I do not have any formal writing plans at the moment, I’m looking forward to my next chapter.”

According to Pirrello, she is thankful for her education and the 2020 Montclair State University grad cites the plethora of English courses and writing workshops she took over the years as being a fantastic foundation.

Someday Pirrello hopes to write a Middle Grade or Young Adult novel of her own and says there is something enchanting about children’s literature.

“I love Young Adult literature as well,” she says there’s an instant familiarity in Young Adult literature. “A ‘coming of age’ story is relatable to all of us on some level.”

The writer had so much fun creating this story and world and she hopes the audience appreciates her take on colonizing Mars.

“It is a dream come true to be a part of this anthology,” says Pirrello. “I can’t wait to continue my writing journey.”

The Dystopian Guide to the Galaxy was released the first week of July on Amazon.

You can find Pirrello on Instagram @ emilypirrellowriter and @readwithmeemily.

Denville Man Releases New Book On Revolutionary War Treasure

T

he saga of the Morristown ghost has been told around campfires and dinner tables in Morris County for generations. Local legend claimed that British Loyalists secretly buried stolen Patriot treasure on Schooley Mountain as they fled the oncoming forces of George Washington during the Revolutionary War. Years later, in 1788, a former schoolteacher from Connecticut, Ransford Rodgers, convinced local prominent Morristown families that a ghost was protecting the true location of the treasure and that he alone could exorcise it. Little did the victims know, Rodgers was perpetuating an elaborate hoax and eventually extorted large sums of money from the embarrassed local elite. The tale has been recounted in various sensational pamphlets and publications ever since, leaving behind a mystery of what is true or myth. Author Peter Zablocki separates fact from fiction in the story of the great Morristown ghost hoax. Peter Zablocki is a historian, educator and author of numerous books detailing New Jersey’s history. His articles often appear in various popular history publications, and his podcast, History Teachers Talking, is available on all popular streaming platforms. For more information

about his books, podcast or any upcoming author events, visit www.peterzablocki.com.

The 1788 Morristown Ghost Hoax is available for purchase on Amazon.com.

Dreams of Broadway Keep Morris County Tech Grad Striving for the Stars

Y

By Megan Roche ou can hear it in Kylie Blake’s voice when she talks about dance. You don’t have to be sitting right across from her to see the smile on her face as she speaks about the art form. Blake has passion and drive, setting her sights high after graduating from Morris County Vocational Technical School (located at Denville’s Morris Knolls High School) this past June.

Blake, a member of the first graduating class of the Academy for Performing Arts at MCVTS, has loved dance ever since she was a little girl. Her parents let her try everything from soccer, softball, gymnastics but nothing fit well with Kylie until she entered a dance studio. It was love at first step.

“My parents were the first to put me in a dance class. They would put me in all of the different sports and both of my sisters are very athletic so they thought I’d be the same. When my parents taught me to ride a bike, I was sitting straight up and my posture was perfect so they put me into dance class and I fell in love immediately,” Blake recalls.

After taking that one combination class of ballet and tap at four years old, Blake was off and running. She moved to a new

studio and started taking lyrical, tap, ballet, jazz, musical theater, and also became a member of the competition dance team.

A student at the New Jersey School of Ballet, Blake studies under Ilse Kapteyn, Kotoe Kojima-Noa, Catherine Whiting, and Gabriella Noa. The professional education she receives helps her to remain focused on the technique for ballet.

“Ballet is my primary focus right now. I know how important ballet is for all styles of dance. Ballet is the foundation for all dance techniques and to be able to be good at different techniques, you have to understand how important ballet is and how ballet is the foundation of all those different dance styles,” Blake says.

In the fall, Blake dances five days a week for two hours in ballet and pointe.

On weekends, she has rehearsals from 10:30 to 4:00 for the annual presentation of Nutcracker. Starting in December, Blake was part of 17 shows of the classic ballet.

In the spring, she takes two ballet classes a week and commits herself as dance captain and assistant choreographer of the Morris Knolls Spring Musical. In 2022, the spring musical alone took up 175 hours of Blake’s time.

Participating in The Nutcracker is a

cherished memory for Blake.

“The Christmas Eve show is probably one of my favorite performances. It’s cold outside, everyone is buzzing with cheer and excitement. I love going to the theater and performing and being able to share my joy with everyone in the audience. They also get a special experience by getting to watch all the dancers,” Blake says.

No stranger to loving all things dance, Blake has trained with some of the best of the best. There was the masterclass with a Radio City Rockette, a huge highlight for Blake.

“That class with the Rockette was an absolutely amazing experience. It was so interesting to learn from a Rockette from both the mental aspect and the dance aspect. The thought of performing 46 times is a dream to me. I would love to do that Photo Credit: Christine Mase

all the time, most people would find it exhausting but dance and performing are my favorite things to do,” Blake shared.

Seeing her own choreography performed on stage is always a highlight as well. She always takes a step back before a performance of her own work to truly appreciate the efforts of the dancers

performing it.

“It’s a beautiful experience to be able to choreograph and make something that makes people feel an emotion. I know that it’s not just me who is putting in all the work to make my piece look the best. It’s the dancers and artists and the hours they spend learning the steps. It humbles me and makes me feel a lot of gratitude because I continued on page 18

continued from page 16 know how hard they have worked to make my vision come true,” Blake says.

It should come as no surprise that while Blake loves the spotlight, she’s also extremely cognizant of her academics and giving back. In 2021 alone, Blake was inducted into the National Honors Society, the National Honors Society for Dance Arts, the National Spanish Honors Society, the National English Honors Society, and the National Social Studies Honor Society.

She also received the New Jersey State Governor’s Award in Arts Education.

Throughout her years at Morris Knolls, she was on the High Honor Roll every semester.

During the COVID-19 pandemic, Blake taught online dance classes to kids across the country in ballet and jazz. She hopes to continue being a role model to other kids who want to begin dance journeys of their own.

“Be brave and keep going. At first, learning dance is very intimidating because you don’t know how far this will go. Keep trying and no matter how hard it is, keep

showing up. You always have a support system behind you. Stand up and fight for what you love and what you love to do,” Blake shares.

Headed to the University of Alabama in the fall, Blake intends to continue dancing with a major in Dance and a double minor in Public Relations and Theater, hoping one day to end up on the Great White Way. “I really would love to continue choreographing. That’s my main passion and the dream would be to choreograph for Broadway shows in the future. I would love to be able to share what I love to do with a bunch of artists who also love what they do.

Being able to choreograph for Broadway would just give me immense opportunities.

Seeing the way that people react to Broadway shows brings joy and I would just love to be a small part of bringing that joy to Broadway fans for the years to come,” Blake says.

Morris County Grant Program Brings Sunshine to Denville Small Business on the First Day of Summer

O

n the longest day of the year, the Morris County Board of County Commissioners delivered a small business grant in the shortest time yet during a one-hour tour of Denville.

Morris County Commissioner Stephen Shaw presented a Morris County Small Business Grant Program check this morning to Jane Di Maria of Jane’s Hair Salon on Route 46 West in Denville. Her business had to close for three months in 2020, and struggled to regain clientele in the years that followed.

“Thank you. It’s great to be surviving it all. This helps,” Di Maria said, after receiving a check for more than $6,000.

Salons, spas and other personal care, grooming and exercise businesses faced heavy losses even after the state-ordered

Unsearched U.S. Coin Bags full of Morgan Silver Dollars go to NJ residents State zip codes used to determine who gets valuable Morgan Silver Dollars issued by the U.S. Gov’t over 100 years ago and sealed away in three pound U.S. Coin Bags that have never been searched Who gets the Morgan Silver Dollars: Only NJ residents who find their zip code listed on the Distribution List below are getting the Gov’t issued coins. If you find your zip code listed below call: 1-800-867-0152 UMD517 “The vaults at Federated Mint are going empty,” said Laura A. Ly nne, U.S. Coin and Currency Director for Federated Mint.

T h a t ’s b e c a u s e a decision by Federated Mint to release rarely seen U.S. Gov’t issued Morgan Silver Dollars, some worth up to 100 times their face value, means unsearched Bank Bags loaded with U. S. Gov’t issued Morgan Silver Dollars dating back to the 1800’s are now being handed over to U.S. residents who find the first three digits of their zip code listed in today’s publication.

“But don’t thank the G over n ment . A s U. S .

Coin and Currency Director for Federated Mint I get paid to inform and educate the general public rega rding U. S. coins. Ever since the decision by Federated Mint to release rarely seen U.S. Gov’t issued Morgan Silver Dollars to

■ UNSEARCHED: Each Bank Bag contains 50 U.S. Gov’t issued Morgan Silver Dollars. Each coin is verified to meet a minimum collector grade of very good or above and the dates and mint marks are never searched by Federated Mint to determine collector value.

the general public – I’m being asked, how much are the unsearched Bank Bags worth? The answer is, there’s no way to tell. Coin values always f luctuate and there are never any guarantees, but we do know this.

Each u nsea rched ba g weighs nearly 3 pounds and contains 50 Morgan Silver Dollars and just one coin a lone, could be worth $40 - $325 in collector value according to The Official Red Book, A Guide Book of United States Coins. So, there’s no telling what you’ll find until you search through all the coins. But you better believe at just $2900 these unsearched Bank Bags are a steal since ever yone who misses the deadline must pay $4000 for each bag,” said Lynne.

“These are not ordinary coins you find in your pocket change. These are rarely seen Morgan Silver Dollars some dating back to the 1800’s so we won’t be surprised if thousands of U.S. residents claim as many as they can get their hands on. That’s because after the bags were loaded with 50 U.S. Gov’t issued Morgan Silver Dollars, each verified to meet a minimum collector grade quality of very good or above, the dates a nd mint marks were never searched to determine collector values and the bags were securely sealed.

That means there’s no telling what you’ll find until you search all the coins,” said Lynne.

The only thing U.S. residents who find their zip code printed in today’s publication need to do is call the National Coin Claim Hotline before the

48-hour deadline ends.

This is very important.

The Vault Bag fee has been set for $4000 for residents who miss the deadline, but for those New Jersey residents who beat the 48-hour deadline the Bank Bag fee is just $2900 as long as they call the National Coin Claim Hotline before the deadline ends.

“Remember this, we cannot stop collectors from buying up all the unsearched bags of coins they can get in this special advertising announcement. And you better believe with each bag being loaded with 50 U.S. Gov’t issued Morgan S i l ve r D o l l a r s we’r e guessing they’re going to go quick,” said Lynne.

The phone lines will be ringing off the hook beginning at precisely 8:30 AM this morning.

T h at ’s b e c au s e e ach unsearched Bank Bag is loaded with nothing but U.S. Gov’t issued Morgan Silver Dollars some dating clear back to the 1800’s.

“With all these collectible U. S. G ov ’t issued Morga n Silver Dollars up for grabs we’re going to do our best to answer all the calls,” said Lynne.

T h o u s a n d s of U. S . residents stand to miss the deadline to claim the Unsea rched Ba nk Bags. That means U.S. residents who find the first three digits of their zip code listed in today’s publication can claim the unsearched bags of money for themselves and keep all the U.S. Gov’t issued Morgan Silver Dollars found inside.

Just be sure to call before the 48 -hour deadline ends. ■

■ SNEAK PEAK INSIDE VAULT: The phone lines will be ringing off the hook beginning at 8:30 AM this morning when the vaults open for New Jersey residents to claim unsearched Bank Bags. It’s hard to tell how much these unsearched bags loaded with Morgan Silver Dollars issued by the Gov’t over 100 years ago could be worth someday. That’s because each Bank Bag contains 50 Morgan Silver Dollars some dating clear back to the 1800’s. And here’s the best part. After the deadline each Bank Bag fee is set for $4000, but New Jersey residents who find their zip code listed in today’s publication and beat the deadline cover just $2900 which is a real steal for these unsearched Bank Bags.

Hopatcong Boro

Spotless lakefront with four bedrooms, five bathrooms and more than .3 wooded acres nestled in a peaceful, quiet cove! This spotless lake front home is located in one of the most peaceful locations on all of Lake Hopatcong.

The entire cove where this home is located is a designated five mile per hour zone. This means that boats slowly glide by and even on weekends when the main lake has lots of activity this cove retains the peaceful and quiet environment that Mother Nature herself created. This natural environment makes it the perfect place for kayaking, canoeing and stand up paddle boarding. And if you want to water ski or go tubing you simply boat to the main part of the lake that’s just a few minutes away. In addition to this calm water setting the heavily wooded neighborhood is special too. Tall mature trees seem to be everywhere providing not just shade but plenty of space for nesting birds and wildlife to make their home too. When you step inside you’ll see this home is spotless. The wood floors sparkle in the sunlight and the interior is spacious.

There are four bedrooms and five bathrooms including two master suites.

One is located on the second floor and one is conveniently located on the main floor. They both have sliders that open to the decks and the views are wonderful. There is also a home office that can be used as a spare bedroom for overnight guests. This home and location are special in so many ways.

Schedule an appointment to see them for yourself.

Hanover Park High School Grad Wins #700 as Mountain Lakes Coach

H

By Steve Sears anover Park High School graduate and Randolph resident, Tim Flynn, won his record-setting 700th game as head coach of Mountain Lakes High School boy’s lacrosse.

The Mountain Lakes Lakers trounced Pope John by the score of 12-4 on Thursday, April 21, and Flynn joined a realm where very few reign. Mike Messere of West Genessee, New York, is the alltime winningest boy’s lacrosse coach with 846 victories. Flynn is the fourth coach in the nation to attain 700 wins.

Flynn, who has coached at the school since 1979, was first introduced to the sport in eighth grade. “A friend of mine and myself, we actually hitchhiked over to the high school, and he said, ‘This is a sport we’re going to play when we’re in the spring.’ And I saw my first lacrosse game at Hanover Park High School in 1968, and I immediately fell in love with it. The action and the physicality just looked like fun.”

At that time in the Garden State, only 12 teams existed. Now there are close to 300 that play the sport.

When Flynn was hired in 1979, then head football coach and Athletic Director, the late Doug Wilkins, threw all his support behind Flynn and boy’s lacrosse.

“He opened the doors for our program, he gave us all the support in the world,” Flynn recalls. “Not every lacrosse coach coming in gets that tremendous support.”

Wilkins was always there with words of encouragement. “The people that take the journey with you are the ones that you remember. It was a lesson Doug taught me a long, long time ago. He said, “After a while, the wins and losses, they’re going to fade, and it’s the kids that you’re dealing with.’

We have an alumni game every five years, and last year we had 173 ex-players come to the game. I never picked up a ground ball or scored a goal. Those kids - those kids and their families - bought in to what we’re trying to do. We have, I think, pretty tough standards. I don’t think it’s an easy place to play. It’s very competitive and you have to compete against sometimes your best buddies. But the kids put themselves on the line every single day, every time we go out there.”

Under Flynn’s helm, the Mountain

Lakes boy’s lacrosse teams have won 10 Group I state titles, five overall state crowns prior to the beginning of the Tournament of Champions in 2004, and three TOC championships since it began.

Flynn, who is also former president of the New Jersey Lacrosse Coaches Association

and a former trustee of the New Jersey chapter of US Lacrosse, was also named Star-Ledger New Jersey Coach of the Year in 1987 and 1989, and the New Jersey Coaches Association Coach of the Year in 1988 and 1993. In addition, Flynn received continued on page 23

Finally, in 2012, Flynn as head coach led the US U-19 Team over Finland, 2 – 1, for a Gold Medal Championship at the U-19 World Championships.

Flynn recognizes the support of many people, especially his family. His daughter, Kim, is a former Mountain Lakes scorekeeper. “She’s now a proud mom in Chatham, and I have to play against my grandsons,” Flynn says. “I’ve actually coached against my son in law, who coached at Roxbury, coached at Chatham, and also coached in college.

And then, the number one person as far as I’m concerned, is my wife, who is the most supportive person,” says Flynn, 68, of his partner, Betsy. “She gets to know the kids, gets to know the families, makes

me look good in terms of reminding me about things that need to get done. She really helps in so many different ways.

And I think if you ask anybody in Mountain Lakes, you’re going to hear that same thing. All the ex-players love her, and she just contributes so much.”

When asked which team he’s coached is his favorite, Flynn’s answer is lovingly blunt. “It’s always the team I’m coaching right now. It’s apples and oranges. You remember certain groups for great things, and you’re always striving to make it so that the kids that are right now in the program kind of remember those things, kind of think about them. We have a serious motivational factor here: they buy in, they want to be a part of that tradition.

They put up with all the they put up with, all the things we put them through, the parents support it, and it works. To me, every single kid that put on the uniform is part of our family, and we just feel great in honoring the guys that have been here, and we try to honor them every time we take the field.”

Cook with Heart Health in Mind

H

ealthy eating doesn’t have to be difficult or require you to take favorite meals off your family’s menu. In fact, making smart choices when cooking at home can give you more control over the types of tasty, hearthealthy dishes you put on the table.

High cholesterol is one of the major controllable risk factors for heart disease and stroke, with about 38% of American adults diagnosed with high cholesterol, according to the American Heart Association. These cooking tips can help you prepare heart-healthy meals that could help improve cholesterol levels by reducing excess saturated fat and trans fat.

Cook Fresh Vegetables the Heart-Healthy Way Roasting, steaming, grilling or baking can help bring out the natural flavors of vegetables. Adding herbs and spices can also help make veggies tastier, including combinations like basil with tomatoes, oregano with zucchini, dill with green beans or rosemary with peas and cauliflower.

Reduce Saturated Fat in Meat and Poultry The amount of saturated fat in meats can vary widely, depending on the cut and how it’s prepared. Opt for poultry and fish over red meat and look for lean cuts of meat with minimal visible fat, which should be trimmed away before cooking. Also limit processed meats such as sausage, bologna, salami and hot dogs, which are often high in calories, saturated fat and sodium.

Use Liquid Vegetable Oils in Place of Solid Fats Some fats are better for you than others. Liquid vegetable oils such as canola, safflower, sunflower, soybean and olive oil can often be used instead of solid fats, such as butter, lard or shortening. If you must use margarine, try the soft or liquid kind.

Randolph Detectorist Unearths the Unexpected

T

By Jillian Risberg here is an abundance of history to be found out there and Julian Vicente loves the hunt and what he uncovers.

“It takes a certain kind of person to brave ticks, mosquitos, bears, poison ivy, garbage and risky conditions to find a single button from the 1800s or sometimes nothing at all,” Vicente says.

Understanding what these items meant to those who used them drives his passion to unearth. The story behind them is everything.

In the seven years he’s been detecting, Vicente got a glimpse into Colonial life — such metal accessories as colonial dandies would wear.

“I wouldn’t have known any of this information if I didn’t do background research to figure out these items. I learned history is everywhere you search for it; comes down to your perspective,” says the metal detectorist/historical preservationist.

“Understand your local and national history, and the smallest find is impactful to the right person,” Vicente says.

According to the historical preservationist, his rarest find is a damaged 1794 American copper ‘Flowing Hair Large Cent,’ one of the first coins minted in the US. Most copper coins found metal detecting grade to this condition at reputable coin grading companies.

“This coin is so scarce it could fetch $800 to $1200,” he says. “Despite the monetary value I would never part with the coin because of how much it means to me to have found it.”

Vicente made another incredible find in Randolph while out detecting a property with the remnants of an old cellar hole.

“We followed the rock walled property line swinging our machines when I got a signal in the high 70s to 80s (indicates different types of metal or metal shapes) when cleaned turned out to be a presidential campaign token from William Henry Harrison,” he says. “His advertising for the campaign was the Log Cabin. An allusion to the humble roots where he grew up.”

The token had a hole attached to a piece of pocket watch chain with eye markings and acted as a fob. This indicated the person carrying the watch was a member of a fraternal organization called The Odd Fellows.

“Whoever dropped this piece of history had a distinguished and informed background,” says the metal detectorist. “Odd Fellow membership is similar to that of the Freemasons.”

His motivation: to hold something that hasn’t had human touch or seen the light of day for hundreds of years, and Vicente feels connected to the past with every item he detects.

And to prevent further decay is meaningful because without his intervention these objects could be lost forever.

“The metal detectorist says he is driven to put in the mileage it takes to find them. “Sometimes we walk 10 plus miles without finding anything worth saving.”

Colonial farm fields and homesites are his favorite places to detect.

You can walk in a straight line for what feels like forever and know most of your targets are going to be worth digging, according to Vicente. When you find the iron patch you’re in the right area for the time frame and can begin to pick out desirables. The feeling of walking in those sunny fields is special.

There are also tons of places where detecting is prohibited.

You need to know your national, state, and local laws. Being informed is key. Most New Jersey and New York State parks are not detectable unless you have special permission.

Different municipalities allow it in all public areas as well as certain counties. Most parks allow detecting.

“However, I’d say the best way is to ask for private permission,” the historical preservationist says. “Places where you know the owner and they grant you permission to be there and detect.”

continued from page 28 whether or not it’s okay to detect there.

“From my experience and friends, most public beaches allow it or have it stated in their rules,” says Vicente. “Always check your beaches, parks or local municipalities’ websites for information.”

Most people carry at least eight things, but the three most essential ones are a detector, shovel, and pin-pointer. The historical preservationist’s suggestions: Metal detector — My current machine is the AT Max, but I’d also recommend the Minelab Equinox 800 and the Deus II. When he swings it, it sounds one of three tones and displays a number. If the tone is consistent as well as the number you have more accurate determination of what might be in the ground.

“The number on my machine’s display ranges from 0 to 100. Targets below 50 tend to be undesirable or iron. Iron rings in a low tone 0 to 39, 40 to 69 rings out a mid tone, and 70 plus is a high tone,” the historical preservationist says. “Mid tones can be anything from pull tabs to gold rings, while high tones can be pennies, brass buckles and silver coins. A metal detector can identify your find, but you need to know what the readouts mean.”

Pinpointer — small handheld device that beeps or vibrates when it’s a certain

distance from metal. My preferred model is the Garrett Pro-Pointer.

Shovel: serrated on both sides or one side is best. My preferred brand Lesche and the model is the 31” Sampson T-Handle.

Vicente was inspired to start metal detecting after he caught YouTube videos of people in his area engaged in the pastime.

He says there are tons of pieces of equipment you can use to improve your detecting experience. The best way to figure it out is to see what other people use in the field.

It has fed his passion for history, and he says he inherited the interest from his grandfather- a bit of a coin collector.

“I feel invigorated every time I gear up for a dig,” the metal detectorist says he tends to detect with a friend so it’s a fun time. “I’ve accomplished something even if I didn’t find anything because we can check that spot off the list and move on.”

His goal is to keep searching for that locale which allows him to dig for something of historical significance.

“It may never happen, but it’s a dream I’m always going to chase,” says Vicente. “It will involve lots of door-knocking for permission, research and a whole lot of luck.”

Roxbury Native’s Electrifying Turn as Tevye in Fiddler on the Roof

H

By Jillian Risberg e’s Tevye in the first National Tour of Fiddler on the Roof and for Roxbury’s Danny Arnold, the role is one of the greatest musical theater characters ever written.

“To have the opportunity to play him is more than I have words for; I feel blessed and on top of that — is coming home to do it,” Arnold says.

The singer/actor has been on the road, almost 700 performances with the show since 2018, though COVID caused some shutdowns.

“Not all as Tevye; but Mordcha, the Innkeeper, I was in the Ensemble and I understudied Tevye,” he says. “Each year I got to do a little more and now I’m playing him full-time.”

According to Arnold, Tevye is a father, husband, leader in the community and a student of the higher power.

“He has many different colors and personalities, amongst; Anatevka, and even greater than Anatevka,” says the artist. “I feel like he touches it all.”

He approached this role through a lot of watching and observing, especially Danny Burstein’s 2015 turn in the Broadway production.

“He was phenomenal,” Arnold says he is inspired by the Tony winner but makes the role his own. “I watched the movie and some other revival clips — taking bits and pieces from Tevye’s past.”

He tries to catch everything Burstein does and his friends are in.

“I love seeing somebody else shine on stage,” says the singer/actor. “And being an audience member — because on the road you don’t get to at all — so I relish it.”

When it comes to creating a believable character, he says it depends on the role but Tevye took a while; since he began as a sporadic understudy.

“In the beginning I’m just worried about getting the right lines out and being in the right place for a long time,” says Arnold.

“Once you’re going on regularly and have the repetition, you can start to bring in the characters and react to your scene partner.

It’s a process.”

He was a quick study… in 2018 in Pittsburgh the original Tevye started the show but soon realized he couldn’t continue— so they alerted Arnold backstage.

Danny Arnold stars as Tevye in the Fiddler Tour

“I had the entirety of Matchmaker to get ready. It was a lesson in ‘always be prepared’ because you never know,” the singer/actor says. “Luckily I had rehearsals, but it was an unbelievable first experience going on as the big guy.”

Arnold’s favorite part of the show is the wedding, ‘like a play within a play.’ It starts with a beautiful procession, then the wedding ceremony and pogrom.

“Of Israeli choreographer, Hofesh Shechter, ‘I think his choreography is the greatest part of our show and breathtaking,’” he says.

The most challenging part of this journey is being on the road and away from family.

Arnold says it can get grueling depending on his schedule, but the reward is getting to tell this story every night.

With the intensity of the show, the singer/actor finds ways to unwind. An avid sports fan, he often turns to ESPN, loves a good massage on the road, and the foodie explores whatever city they’re in for good places to eat.

He loves being an artist, now in particular — they are healers.

“When the outside world is fraught with chaos, I feel lucky I am able to make the audience forget about life for a few hours,” Arnold says Fiddler has it’s heart-wrenching moments, and it’s poignant now with what’s going on in Ukraine. “But still an escape, so I feel like it’s such an important job.”

“Those people are like family because we’ve spent so much time on the road together,” says the singer/actor, of the tour dynamic versus being in a Broadway show.

“You get thrown into this craziness and become very close. I got to see the country and be paid for it. It doesn’t get better than that.”

Celebrating 50 Years

You may have caught Arnold on a Jersey stage — he’s done a lot at 4th Wall Theatre in Bloomfield, Plays in the Park in Edison (before he decided to pursue this full-time).

Then some professional shows: Guys & Dolls in Maine, Hands on a Hardbody in Peoria, Arizona, a Sweeney Todd concert in Bergen County.

He hasn’t yet delved into the tv/film arena. The artist would like to in the future,

but for now is concentrating on stage.

Arnold says he has been blessed to play a bunch of dream roles, Leo Frank in Parade for starters.

“I would love to do that again,” he says he would also love to pay Tevye again, a little later. “Dan, in Next to Normal is always on my list. I’d love to do another Sondheim show, Sweeney Todd, the baker in Into the Woods.”

This profession is fluid, so Arnold cherishes his current gig and reminds himself to keep the momentum going because the unknown is scary and stressful.

“When this job ends, you’re looking for the next and hope and pray it’s as fulfilling as what I’m doing right now,” he says.

One thing is certain, the singer/actor made the right decision.

An elementary school teacher for a decade prior, Arnold always sang musical theater on the side in New Jersey and one day decided he didn’t want to regret not trying it full-time. So he left his teaching job.

“Knock on wood I’ve been working pretty steadily ever since,” he says, adding that he

didn’t go to school for theater, but feels his talent and on-the-job training helped.

“And there’s professionalism, respect and outside factors. It’s a small community and people talk — connections/contacts and all those things propel your career forward if you’re acting the right way.”

And the singer/actor cites his upbringing — that is the performing arts department at Roxbury High School as the reason he’s doing what he’s doing.

“I cannot say enough wonderful things about growing up in Roxbury and becoming a performer,” says Arnold. “All of my musical roots are definitely from RHS.” In the four years he’s been in Fiddler, he made it to New Brunswick. But Morristown’s Mayo Performing Arts Center is even closer.

“I had a lot of friends and family coming (to the show),” Arnold says the whole experience has been a dream come true and now a homecoming too. “It was a great way to end this season of the tour.”

Former Morris County Woman Making Her Move in the Music World

T

By Steve Sears echno dance singer and songwriter, Tia Tia, recalls that summer day with her boyfriend, Ryan McMahon, by the pool.

“It started over quarantine, and we were just in the backyard in the pool, and the UB40 version of “Red Red Wine” came on, and that’s been one of my favorite songs for as long as I can remember.” Wondering if she could approach the classic tune, originally written by Neil Diamond, in a new way, she and McMahon ended up redoing it, titling their newer version “Red Wine.”

The duo knew they had something special, and sought permission from Diamond to release it. “He so gracefully said we could release it, which is really cool,” Tia Tai says. “So, we’re technically co-writers with Neil Diamond.”

Since that first official release, Tia Tia’s feet have not yet hit ground. She has also co-penned a tune for Justin Bieber (more to come), and herself releases one new single per week.

Tia Tia describes what “moves” her, what has encouraged her writing of other popular songs like “Call Me” and “Night and Day.” “I definitely am super inspired by dance tracks of the old 2000s because of the energy. I feel like we’ve been missing that in music for the last couple of years, personally. I also grew up dancing, so I wanted to make songs that I could dance to when I’m performing, and that people can dance to, or like pregame or party to. I knew whatever I was going to do was going to have those elements to it.”

Tia Tia was born and raised in Randolph, and growing up within an hour of New York City, she thought being an actress was her calling. She and her mom would head to auditions for

different commercials, but by her junior year, her mom knew her daughter had other aspirations. “She would say, ‘Tia, I really don’t think you want to do this. You write songs all the time in your room. I think that’s more your passion.’ And she was right. I went to a songwriting camp that summer before college and just fell in love, and went to Belmont University for one year where I was a major in songwriting, and just was able to be immersed in that industry, in that world, a little bit more. I was always writing songs, but I moved to Nashville to really get better at writing songs, and then was doing so much interning and writing with people that I dropped out of college and then signed my first publishing deal with Sony ATV in Los Angeles.” Eight months after signing that contract, she moved to the moved West Coast permanently and has remained there.

Tia Tia feels songwriting was always in her being. “I think it was always in me. I just started writing songs as a kid before I even really knew what I was doing. I think I actually realized that I just love trying to describe something. When you’re writing songs, you’re basically describing something that’s already been said a million times, but trying to say it a little bit of a different way. And that’s always really inspiring to me. And also, I just love a good melody, I just love writing something that gets stuck in my head for days. I think that’s also really inspiring, whenever you can put together a melody that you haven’t heard before. That’s always really fun.”

It has been a nice three years for Tia Tia. She is the cowriter of the song, “Off My Face,” which appeared on Bieber’s Grammy-nominated, platinum selling album, Justice. She and her close collaborator, Jake Torrey, wrote it in 20 minutes. “Jake did a one pass on the mic, and then that

Tia Tia (credit: Prince & Jacob)

song sat around for six months. No one wanted to cut it. And then, by literally the grace of God, Scooter, Justin’s manager, loved it and played it for Justin, and he loved it, and then he recorded it. I didn’t even get to hear the song until it came out, which is really crazy. I’m still in disbelief. Every time I hear it or see him sing it, I just immediately cry.”

Tia Tia’s goal is to continue to release a new single every four weeks, and maybe one or more of those will soar higher than the rest. “In five years, I want to have a number one song as an artist on the radio, and I want to be able to tour in whatever capacity that means, just because that’s what I really love to do, and a big reason why I decided to release my own music.”

Brewing Jersey Lightning

I

By Henry M. Holden n the early days of New Jersey’s development there were three major industries: Milling, Mining and Farming.

One of the products of farming was apples.

Apples were the mainstay of pioneer life because they could be used and preserved in so many ways. A favorite method of preservation was processing the apples into cider and applejack the “Jersey Lightning” of countless legends. From the eighteenth through the early twentieth centuries the production of applejack brandy helped sustain New Jersey’s agricultural economy.

Morris County became the largest applejack -producing county in the state.

By 1805, when Randolph Township formed there were six distilleries in the Township: Millbrook, Center Grove, Coombs Hollow, Ironia, Mt. Freedom and Randolph.

The best known was Bryant’s located on Sussex Turnpike and Route 10.

In 1901, Dorastus Bryant published an advertising pamphlet relating the history of the family’s applejack business. It was a classic stab at self-promotion. Excerpts of that pamphlet are found within as quotations.

When the Ice Age glaciers melted away 15,000 years ago, they left huge rocks, caves, and verdant fields, just waiting for “Johnny Apple Seed” and Dorastus Logan Bryant (1840-1914).

Johnny Appleseed was a mythical itinerant farmer, and when his work was done, he moved on. But not so Dorastus Bryant.

Dorastus and his younger brother Alonzo (1842-1878) attended school and were raised as farm boys. When their father, Samuel, died in 1866, the brothers inherited equally, the home with a small apple orchard behind it. Included was a small distillery, and some iron mine properties. Dorastus bought his brother’s half interest in the distillery with a mortgage of $3,500. In 1872, Dorastus paid off the mortgage on the distillery, which including the house was valued at $10, 500.

Dorastus was schooled in the rudiments of farming and fruit crop culture and early on learned the technical and financial requirements of the distilling business.

“At a very early age I was introduced to the business and made “Boss” of the motive power, and a good old horse…After graduating through all the departments and unloading apples long after dark I was all the time thinking how to do the work without working. In 1869, when I succeeded to the business, I already had the problem solved.

The two old buildings were torn down, and on the site, I erected two of the most compact and complete cider mill, vinegar factory and apple distillery in the state.”

In his second year of distilling, Bryant produced 850 gallons of 100-150 proof liquor. He advertised his product with claims it promoted good health, strength and “good

old age.”

“Everybody drank pure old ‘apple’ in those times when everything required manual labor. Even the good wife had her private bottle to prolong the pastoral call, and to prevent that ‘tired feeling’ so prevalent at the present day.”

Bryant briefly describes the distilling process. “After an elevator brings your fruit up to a large hopper and then through a large grater, the pulp is deposited between layers of cloth which are pressed under continuous stream press. The liquid that has been squeezed out will be distilled in copper kettles by furnace heat.”

Like all apple distilleries in those days, it had two large low buildings, where the apples were received and crushed by two corrugated cylinders revolving together, and the pumice is laid up in cribs between layers of straw.

“By the time you can drive around to the front, and back up your wagon, your cider is ready. You then put the hose in the bunghole and while the barrel is filling, you sample the cider with a little “old apple,” and you go your way rejoicing.”

The distilling is done the old way by furnace heat and copper kettles, but in a much larger and cleaner way.

“The distilling is now done under government supervision, and as soon as produced, it is gauged, branded, and stamped by the U.S. Gauger and shipped to a special bonded warehouse to age. Your barreled cider can remain in the warehouse for up to eight years. When the fermentation is complete you pay the warehouse for rent.

Your bottled cider is then shipped all over the United States and sold for about a dollar a gallon. Made from your selected fruits, this cider can be found under the name Bryant’s Pure Old Cider Brandy or Applejack, the most agreeable stimulant known. Satisfied customers have regained their strength, retained their health and prolonged their lives by knowing a good thing when they see it.”

“Ever since the flood most mankind has craved a stimulant. Noah got very tired of water and changed his beverage at the first opportunity. Later they all made merry at a marriage feast. Now a good many use good liquor while others less wise use nicotine, morphine, quinine and other deadly drugs to reach the same result. How much better off are the Bryant’s benefactors, when they drink from nature’s first and healthiest fruit, the most agreeable stimulant known to man, and therefore replaced to that extent the chemical compounds of whiskey, gin, and rum, doctored and drugged to please the pallet.”

Not afraid of self-promotion, Bryant said, “To those to whom “all liquors alike, “we would say that pure rum is made from molasses, whiskey from grain, brandy from

fruit, apple brandy from pulp or pomace, cider brandy from juice or cider. Bryant’s cider brandy is made from cider strained through cloth and double distilled by the most approved methods, by a distiller born in the business. It contains none of the fusil oil inherent in all grain whiskies.

Notwithstanding, some people in the absence of pure ‘apple’ have acquired an abnormal taste for other liquors. To satisfy this demand we have exchanged with the best-known distillers we have in grain, for their oldest in bond and can supply consumers and dealers with all kinds of liquors, wholesale and retail at distiller’s prices. That’s Applejack, carelessly spoken of at times as Jersey Lightning and known as a side of brandy or apple whiskey, the latter being a palatable misnomer.”

In summary Bryant said, “Apple brandy makes weeding, mowing, and haying seem easier and, in the fall, it takes part in harvesting the crops. It is in the barn, in the house, in the market wagon and everywhere except perhaps in the church. This only goes to prove that good apple brandy is one of the most wholesome liquors in the country.

Steady drinkers in New Jersey live and retain their strength and health to a good old age.

Some of them likely attribute their rugged condition to the fact that they have been drinking apple for 50 years or more.”

The original Bryant distillery was modified after Prohibition was enacted and eventually became a private residence. (Credit: Historical Society of Old Randolph)

The Bryant distillery continued making applejack until Prohibition closed it down in 1920. It then became a mill producing non-alcoholic cider. It closed permanently in 1934, and, like the rest of the industry never fully recovered from America’s experiment with legislated Puritanism.

Sister Cities: Randolph, New Jersey, Meet Randolph, Nebraska

A

By Steve Sears first for a “Sister Cities” feature. The mayor of the community we’ll learn about was born and raised in New Jersey.

Randolph, Nebraska Mayor, George Bradley, grew up in both Colonia and Kenilworth. “My wife and I go back there probably after Labor Day, because this way, the shore traffic isn’t as bad,” Bradley says. “I graduated Woodbridge High School in 1965 and I went to college out here in South Dakota. South Dakota is about 50 or 60 miles from Randolph here. We’re in the northeast part of the state. I took a teaching job out here, and I’ve been here ever since.

I no longer teach. I taught for 24 years, and then I went into business as a cabinet furniture maker.”

Bradley’s Randolph has a population of just under 1,000 people, while Randolph, New Jersey checks in at over 25,000. According to Bradley, Highway 20 is his Randolph’s main artery. “You’re going to find a town where our biggest asset is our friendly people,” he says. “The friendliness of the people, the outgoing people. That would be my number one thing that you would notice.”

Benjamin Benton is Randolph, Nebraska City Administrator. “Both at the east and the west entrances to the city, there is a sign along Highway 20 that says, Randolph - Where Tomorrow is Built Today. And that slogan was a school project that occurred before I joined the city, and I think that was probably early to mid 2000s. A student came up with that slogan, the school uses it, and the city ultimately as well. 10 streets actually connect to Highway 20. 10 intersections to make a choice or not to come in or not off of the main road, which is quite a bit for a city to

AL’S

have that many access roads off the highway.”

Randolph, Nebraska was founded in 1886 and was incorporated a short time later. “They had all the services right out of the gate, and by 1900 had a thriving population,” Benton says. “They had all the amenities; the railroad, of course, but a land plan and all the effort put into it. The people were making their own bricks for building buildings, they had streets, law enforcement, ordinances, and a city council, and it was just in the middle of a cornfield in Nebraska that this town popped up, and here we are, 136 years later.”

There are some unique dining spots in Randolph, Nebraska, and the mayor has his favorite. “We would go to the Hilltop (Jerry’s Hilltop Café & Catering),” Bradley says.

“Hilltop is about four and a half miles west of town, and it’s on Highway 81. It’s a truck stop actually, but not many truckers eat there anymore because truck routes have changed probably since I’ve been here. On Thursday and Saturday, they have a special - a prime rib special - and it’s really, really good.”
