The Saga of The Smoke Hogs: A Look into the Hackettstown Volunteer Fire Department

By Steve Urena t the Station 78 firehouse, Fire chief Bud Volkert waits patiently with his crew of volunteers to be called into action. Like any great team, they have a name for themselves that they proudly show off, the Smoke Hogs. If a fire breaks out or someone needs help in emergency situations, the Smoke Hogs are there to assist the residents of Hackettstown. Chief Volkert remembers why he chose the path of becoming a firefighter: Its something Ive always wanted to do from the time I was a little kid, All the little boys wanted to be policemen or firemen and I loved the trucks and cars. I remember following the fire trucks on my bike in Hackettstown, and when I got old enough to join the fire department, It was the

first thing I did. Volkert has been a part of the Hackettstown Fire department for most of his life and presents his knowledge to aspiring volunteer firefighters in Station 78. He along with other Smoke Hog officials assist volunteer trainees by running weekly drills. Drills include air tank drills, truck drills, and safety drills. New firefighters are sent to the Warren County Fire Academy in Washington to complete a Firefighter 1 class for 180 hours of training. Volunteers usually have day jobs so they go home, eat dinner, and then report to the training. Volunteers come from all over Hackettstown with different backgrounds and upbringings. This could pose a challenge when forming a team but Chief Volkert makes sure continued on page 7

History Professor Inspires Centenary Graduate to Create Waterloo Village Program

ndrea Proctor, a May 2007 History graduate from Centenary College from Byram Township, N.J., knew that she wanted to work with children, but wanted a job that didnt exist. A class in The History of New Jersey at Centenary College was what she needed to ultimately lead her in the direction of her current endeavor as Founder and Director of Winakung at Waterloo Inc., a nonprofit corporation named for the re-created Lenape Village located within beautiful, historic Waterloo Village, also in Byram.

When Proctor was an undergraduate of Centenary College, she learned about the history of New Jersey through the eyes of Dr. Raymond Frey, Professor of History and College Historian. Dr. Frey is an expert on New Jersey history and has been published on this subject. He authored New Jersey: A Journey of Discovery, a textbook for middle school students that is widely used in New Jersey schools. He was also a contributor to the New Jersey Encyclopedia. In 2009, he was honored with the Governors Award for Achievement in History. When Dr. Frey covered Waterloo Village in his class, it became evident to Proctor that the Village and the Morris Canal were national treasures. I lived near Waterloo Village all my life and had visited the site many times but I never really grasped the historical significance of the Village until I took Dr. Freys class, says Proctor. After that, I would stop at the Morris Canal bed to admire the beauty and try to envision the canal boats gliding by. At the time, the Foundation that had managed Waterloo Village for many years was no longer running tours or events and I was heartbroken that this property could just waste away. She was driven though to make a difference if she could. She attended Morris Canal Days at Waterloo Village that are run by the Canal Society of New Jersey every year, and watched the Department of Environmental Protections Division of Parks and Forestry Web site religiously to see if there was any movement to bring Waterloo alive again. In the fall of 2010, she saw that the Division of Parks and

Forestry was re-opening the location on a limited basis for school tours, and Proctor was hired as a part-time historical interpreter and also became a Trustee for the newly founded Friends of Waterloo Village organization the same year. When she found out that the Division of Parks and Forestry was looking for an outside entity or group to manage the tours at Waterloo Village, she thought, why not me? She went back to Dr. Frey at Centenary College, who had made such a lasting impression on her, and asked him if he would be interested in being a part of her ambitious idea. She founded Winakung at Waterloo Inc., a not for profit corporation and recruited several people with skills and interests beneficial to business management and Waterloo Village to be Trustees. Among those she reached out to were two fellow Centenary College graduates, Lyn Gebhard, Childrens Librarian, Sparta Public Library and Christina Honthy, Community Properties Manager for Integra Management Corporation. In total, the Board of Trustees consists of seven members, three of which are Centenary College alumni and one Centenary Professor. I was so pleased that Andrea became inspired to bring Waterloo Village back to life, so to speak, after taking my class, says Dr. Frey. To be able to instill such enthusiasm in your students is the greatest teaching reward of all. When she asked me to take the role as a Trustee for the organization, of course the answer was yes. She won the bid to manage the educational programs at Waterloo and has conducted private tours and educational continued on page 12

Join The Somerset Patriots In Supporting Jons Journey For A Night Of Awareness And Fundraising

he Five-Time Atlantic League Champion Somerset Patriots have once again teamed up with Jons Journey for a night of awareness and fundraising on Saturday, July 30th at 7:05 pm as the Patriots take on the Bridgeport Bluefish. Jons Journey is a not for profit 501(c)3 organization designed to raise money that is distributed by the organization through caregivers at Goryeb Childrens Hospital to families who have a child suffering from a condition that requires brain surgery. A major part of their fundraising is to assist families with travel costs to the hospital for treatments and surgeries. We are proud to work with the growing list of supporting sponsors who have partnered with Jons Journey to help them raise funds and awareness for their wonderful cause, said Patrick McVerry, President and General Manager of the Somerset Patriots. We feel it is important to support such a great organization who really cares about helping families improve their quality of life while going through a very tough time of treatment and hospital care. By reaching out to local sponsors and members of the community, Jons Journey are able to sell game tickets discounted by the

Somerset Patriots to raise money directly for their programs. Other sponsorship and partnership opportunities are available for this special fundraising event. Interested businesses and individuals can help Jons Journey fundraise and help families in need by contacting jonsjourney@gmail.com. There is no better family and community destination then a Somerset Patriots game. It is a very affordable way to spend a night out with those that are important to you. This night is a great way to help families in need by purchasing tickets or a sponsorship that will help someone in your community, said Lisa Brett Pignataro, President/Founder of Jon's Journey. In addition to their ticket-based fundraiser, Jons Journey will run commercials on the scoreboard informing Patriots fans about their mission and how they can help. Jon, who is an eight-year-old boy that is recovering from Chiari Malformation and is the inspiration behind starting the organization, will throw out a Ceremonial First Pitch before the game. The game also includes a Post-Game Fireworks Show. For more information on Jons Journey and how you can help, please visit www.jonsjourney.org or via e-mail at jonsjourney@gmail.com.

Smoke Hogs...
continued fromfront page his squad sticks together by having softball games and family picnics for The Smoke Hogs and their families. Volkert explains how these people come together to gel as a unit: Were around each other so much that we have to get along. Of course you have your groups the old guys hang out with the old guys and the new guys hang out with the new guys, but it becomes a brotherhood. Everyone realizes that if something bad happens that they have to have each others backs. Everyone looks out to protect each other. The Smoke Hogs have a strong presence in the community as they organize events and local fundraisers for the public. The goals of these fundraisers are to have fun while raising money for their department. These events usually take place in the form of an all you can eat breakfast which is held on the last Sunday of every month. The money raised goes toward purchasing new equipment to give the taxpayers a bit of help on the costs. Were very fortunate the town, mayor and, council support us in everything that we do explains Volkert, but we realize that there are things we cannot have due to the budget, so we do these fundraisers to do certain things and get new equipment so we can help out as much as we can. The fundraisers have been so successful that the department received a brand new 2011 pumper to help battle fires. The pumper is a compressed air foam system which mixes compressed air, foam, and water in the lines to minimize water damage by smothering the fires with the foam. The pumper is lighter to carry due to the foam and is easier for the Smoke hogs to use when snuffing out fires. They also received a new ladder truck in 2006 which helped stop big fires like the St Cloud hotel fire in Washington. The Smoke Hogs are always there for the Hackettstown community, so if you are interested in becoming Smoke Hog you can join the 86 other members by going calling the Hackettstown Municipal Building at 908 852 3130.

Shampooches Pet Spa Makes House Calls

By Cheryl Conway o more waiting at the spa to get nails and hair done. No need to worry about germs from other customers or wasted time driving to get to an appointment. At Shampooches Pet Spa the groomer makes house calls providing all grooming needs from toes to ears. Incorporated this past April, the mobile grooming company services all breeds of dogs up to 90 pounds in Hackettstown, Long Valley and Budd Lake. Yes, a dogs schedule is just as precious as a persons. At Shampooches Pet Spa, customers receive top individual attention. The advantage is we come to you, says Jan Quodomine, owner. With most grooming places, when you go to the shop, you have to bring it [the dog] in the morning and then you cant pick it up until the afternoon. Quodomine also owns Hooves, Paws, Tails & Claws (HPTC) a professional dog walking and pet sitting service- out of Independence Township. With that company, established in April 2005, she has been making house calls to surrounding areas to walk dogs and care for pets daily.

She decided to expand her business to include mobile grooming after one of her pet-sitting employees Melanie Rieur of Oxford- shared her interest of becoming a dog groomer. Rieur started to work as an apprentice as a dog groomer in October 2010 with one of Quodomines pet-sitting clients, Jodi Murphy, a master pet stylist for the past 10 years. For six months, under Murphys guidance, Rieur learned the skills and techniques needed to groom all breeds of dogs. It was one of those situations where everything fell into my lap, explains Quodomine, who then went out to purchase a new van for her new grooming business. Melanie is capable of grooming all breeds to their standard. Although there are other businesses out there like hers, Quodomines customers can expect top quality work. Murphy, who trained Rieur in shampooing and clipping techniques, has groomed dogs that compete at the national level in dog competitions. She has competed at the international level and has won awards, says Quodomine. At Shampooches Pet Spa, all kinds of continued on page 12

Each grooming session includes warm water wash and rinse; hand drying instead of cage drying; brushing, combing as needed; nails trimmed; pads trimmed; sanitary trim; ears and eyes cleaned; and clipping as needed. Quodomine explains there are many benefits to regular grooming including prevention of matting, which can be irritating to the dog as well as hide skin diseases and parasites. Any health issues noticed during your pets grooming session will be reported to you at that time, says Quodomine. There are a lot of benefits to mobile grooming for the pet parent, she explains. We come to your home or office at the time of your choosing, she says. No more dog hair or dirty paws in your car. No other pets will be in the van during your pets appointment. Your pet will receive Melanies undivided attention. No cages. Melanie works on only one pet at a time. Quodomine says each groom takes 60 to 90 minutes, based on the condition of the dogs coat. Your pet wont spend all day at the shop waiting his/ her turn. You will have the same groomer each time, so you can be sure your pet is receiving quality care. Prices start at $75 per groom, not including sales tax. Actual fees will be determined at the time of grooming and depend on the condition of a dogs coat. All price quotes are estimates only. For more information, visit www.shampoochesspa.com. To make an appointment or be scheduled for regular or occasional grooming, call Quodomine at 908-5091444.

rogressive heavy metal band Queensryche performs anthems such as "Silent Lucidity," "Queen of the Reich" and more on Wednesday, August 3, 2011 at 8 pm at the Mayo Performing Arts Center. Tickets are $39-$69. Queensryche is celebrating their 30th Anniversary in rock this year with the release of their 12th studio album titled, Dedicated to Chaos, slated for release via Roadrunner Records/Loud & Proud in early summer, followed by a major support tour. Since the band's inception in 1981, they've sold over 20 million albums worldwide and have performed in over 22 countries. The band -- consisting of original members Geoff Tate (vocals), Michael Wilton (guitar/vocals), Eddie Jackson (bass/vocals) and Scott Rockenfield (drums) along with recent addition Parker Lundgren (guitar) -remain world renowned for their innovative, trend-setting sound and continue to enjoy incredible success, performing for sold-out audiences worldwide. Dedicated to Chaos -- which the band just finished recording in their native Seattle -- marks the first studio project since their highly-acclaimed 2009 release, American Soldier. "Modern life moves fast" comments front man Geoff Tate about the new album. "Plug into the rhythm of the now

with Dedicated to Chaos. It's a clash and slash of musical experimentation anchored by the pulse of digital code," adding a suggestion to listeners to "Enjoy - headphones are a must." It's now 2011. Queensryche remains "Dedicated to Chaos" and look forward to bringing some of it your way. The Mayo Performing Arts Center, a 501(c)(3) nonprofit performing arts organization, presents a wide range of programs that entertain, enrich and educate the diverse population of the region and enhance the economic vitality of Northern New Jersey.

n Italy, panini refers to any kind of sandwich but here, its all about the cheese. Bursting with cheese and flavorful ingredients, the panino is a popular lunchtime favorite at delis and cafes across America. However, its easy to enjoy a mouthwatering panino at home any day of the week by using premium cheeses and experimenting with different ingredients. Tiffany Collins, chef and author of 200 Best Panini Recipes, suggests making small twists on classic sandwiches and using natural, not processed, cheese. The panino is all about the cheese its what holds the sandwich together. I only use 100 percent natural, real cheese like Sargento Sharp Cheddar, Baby Swiss and the new Natural Blends Cheddar Mozzarella, Chef Collins said. The flavor profile and variety of Sargento cheeses is amazing, so you can find the perfect combination of ingredients to suit your own personal tastes, like in my Island Pineapple

Chicken Panini or Veggie Stuffed Grilled Cheese Panini. Panini Tips: Breads with a firmer texture hold up better (e.g. ciabatta). If the bread is softer, you can brush a little bit of olive oil on the outside of a panino before grilling to give it a crisper texture. When making a breakfast panino, try sauting the vegetables (e.g., green peppers, baby spinach) and then use the same pan to cook the eggs so the eggs will pick up some extra flavor. Cut a panino with a sharp knife that has a straight edge. Serrated knives can catch on the melted ingredients, pulling them out of the sandwich. To make your vegetables and fruit stay crisp and crunchy, add them to your panino after grilling. Visit www.Sargento.com for more product information and recipes. continued on page 22

Simple Summer Party Plans

ummer is the ideal time to have friends and family over for casual get-togethers that are centered on the grill and outdoor dining. Add some zip to your summer party with a few tips and a simple recipe that are sure to please your guests. Set the Mood Get the party started right with some great music. Bring the speakers outside and start your playlist about 20 minutes before anyone is expected to arrive. That way, you get into the swing of things early and youre ready for any early birds. Creative Summer Apps Set out some no-fuss appetizers that add some fun to the menu. Make festive veggie shooters by putting some of your favorite dip into shot glasses along with a few colorful veggie strips. Keeping it Cool Dress up a pitcher of ice water and add flavor by adding slices of lemon, orange or even cucumber to the water. Keep some slices on ice for extra garnish on the glasses. The Main Event Nothing beats the taste

of food hot off the grill. Whether youre cooking beef, chicken, seafood or veggies, you can make them even more delicious with marinades. Adding a flavorful marinade kicks it up a notch when youre grilling meats at home, said chef and entertaining expert Jamie Gwen. Start with a basic sauce and layer flavors to suit your familys taste. Many of the tastiest grilled dishes can be whipped up using just a few ingredients. A versatile sauce like Heinz 57 Sauce, an American classic thats celebrating its 100th anniversary this year, is a great way to add zest and flavor to meats, veggies and even seafood, according to Gwen. For a marinade, she recommends covering your meat in an air-tight container and refrigerating for at least half an hour so it has time to absorb the flavors completely before hitting the grill. This recipe for marinated grilled shrimp, using Heinz 57 Sauce, gives a tangy new twist to a classic favorite. If you want to

serve it in appetizer portions, use 6-inch skewers. Thread 2 shrimp on each skewer and grill as directed. For more delicious party recipes, visit www.heinz57.com. Marinated Grilled Shrimp Prep Time: 5 minutes, plus 1 hour for marinating Cook Time: 7 minutes 1/4 cup Heinz 57 Sauce 1 cup dry white wine 1 cup extra virgin olive oil 1/4 cup freshly squeezed lemon juice 3/4 cup fresh basil leaves, chopped (or 1/4 cup dried basil) 24 raw, peeled and deveined jumbo shrimp In a medium bowl, whisk together sauce, wine, oil, lemon juice and basil until well mixed. Pour into resealable plastic food storage bag. Add shrimp and seal tightly, turning until well coated. Allow to marinate in refrigerator for up to one hour, turning occasionally.

Preheat grill to medium heat. Remove shrimp from refrigerator, reserving the marinade and discarding the bag. Thread shrimp onto 4 skewers and grill for 4 to 7 minutes or until cooked through, turning often and basting with reserved marinade during last 3 minutes of grilling.

The Thomas Edison Paper Project A Vast Virtual Excpedition To Discover The wizard of Menlo Park
privilege to view these documents in their original form. But the biggest challenge was to have them organized into a rational collection. Imagine if someone were to take all the correspondence and mail off your desk and place them into a storage container based on the time period they were collected. What kind of filing system would this be? Advertising circulars and utility bills would be mixed in with very personal letters. Decades later, someone would have to make sense of this collection where the only relationship is that they shared a common owner. This has made it a hard task to archive since many articles are handwritten and deciphering them into a proper reference category can be a librarians nightmare. However, to a document archeologist this can be a very interesting discovery. They get to know the man Thomas Edison in a virtual open and personal way. After all, you may be the first set of eyes in over a hundred years to view both these great and trivial details. Stuck in between those jotted lab notes may be the lab sundry bills that Edison was notoriously delinquent in paying. So who are these document archeologists, leading this trek to an indoor expedition that cuts pathways to the illustrious mind of the Wizard of Menlo Park? They are a team of editors/scholars at Rutgers, State University of New Jersey that forms the Thomas A. Edison Papers Project team. It is one of the most ambitious editing projects ever undertaken by an American university. It has spanned decades and includes 5 million pages of documents. This project has scanned these documents into an electronic repository to be viewed by the virtual world. Now the chief goal of the Edison Papers team is producing a fifteen-volume book edition of transcribed and interpreted documents. It will provide an overview of Edison's life and career but also significant resources for understanding the development of all his pioneering technology. It will also cover relative emerging technology too. It is through the great organization of the Edison Papers Project, writers are able to provide inspiring books, and also offer up tantalizing trivia. For instance - Did you know that Edisons 1875 patented electric pen was retrofitted in the 1890s as the first electric tattoo pen? Trivia facts such as these can only come from great document expedition projects. If you want to help champion a great Project Team on this discovery expedition, then here is the link to make a donation: http://edison.rutgers.edu/help.htm Visit The Thomas Edison Museum.

by Michele Guttenberger homas Edison may have had over 1000 patents on file with the US Patent Office, but there is a vast unreferenced mother lode of prolific notes and letters jotted down in pen and pencil from the man himself. Most of Edisons important and incidental written notes have been preserved. However, for many years the only way to view these written collections was to put in a records request to the Thomas Edison Museum in West Orange, NJ. Finding the topics written in Edisons own handwriting and likewise replies to his correspondence is a tedious journey. This research method could be a quest with limited answers.
