Hackettstown Jewelry Artist
to Showcase Work May 1
In Morristown
A
rtist Susan Burkart of Hackettstown
will showcase her handmade jewel-
ry and art glass at the Jewelers
Studio Guild Show, Saturday, May 1, from
10 a.m. to 5 p.m. at the Masonic Temple, 39
Maple Ave., in Morristown. Admission to
the show is free.
A portion of the proceeds from the show
will go to the Interfaith Food Pantry in
Morristown, and a food drive will be held
during the show. Show attendees are invited
to bring high-protein, nonperishable food to
be donated to the food pantry.
Burkart, who earned MS and PhD
degrees in entomology (the study of
insects), often works insects into her art.
“The inspirations for my designs for jewel-
ry and art glass may come from a single
source or may be the chaotic crossroads of
several sources that converge and then
emerge as one vision,” she says. “I am espe-
cially fascinated by mixing shapes and tex-
tures, and the elements that I work with--
glass, wire, gemstones, metal--allow me the
freedom to push the envelope in those areas.
My love of color and my sense of humor
influence many designs as well.”
The Hackettstown artist has had a life-
long passion for the creative process in both
art and science. “My artistic skills are a gift
that has been honed over many years and is
still evolving,” she points out. “I had been
working with metal, wire, and gemstones
for several years when I discovered the
magical world of fused glass. I made one
small test piece, and I was hooked! I take

February 26th at noon and their fast was
broken with a dinner of soup and bread in
St. James’ Parish Hall on Saturday,
February 27th. After the fast, the youth
were given an opportunity to discuss how
they felt about this experience, what they
had learned and what they would do differ-
ently as a result of the fast. Some thoughts
from the young people: “Want to do more
to help”, “Food is valuable. Don’t waste it”,
“We can work together to make the world a
better place.”
Special thanks to Pastor David Wright

and all others who volunteered that week-
end and sponsored the youth. Over $1,600

Local Jazzercise Instructors Take Part in Rutgers Dance Marathon

T
hree local Jazzercises instructors
helped energize hundreds of Rutgers
students at the 2010 Rutgers
University Dance Marathon (RUDM) on
Sunday, March 28, between 7:40 and
8:20am, when they gave a live demonstra-
tion of the largest dance-fitness program in
the world at the College Ave Gym on the
New Brunswick campus.
The RUDM is an annual no-sitting no-
sleeping 32-hour student-run philanthropic
event that unites the Rutgers community in
an effort to raise money and increase
awareness for the Embrace Kids
Foundation, which supports children with
cancer and blood disorders. Since the first
marathon in 1999, the RUDM has donated
over $2.2 million to the Embrace Kids
Foundation, including the more than
$378,000 raised this year at the 2010
RUDM.
“Jazzercise instructors were so excited to
be part of such an important event to the
Rutgers community and to so many New
Jerseyans,” said Amy Denholtz, a
Jazzercise instructor in Mercer County and
a Rutgers alum and former RUDM dancer.
“It was incredibly meaningful for us to be
dancing with all the students who have
worked so hard to make a difference in the
lives of all the families touched by cancer or
blood disorders and receiving support from
Embrace Kids. Our goal was to keep the
students energized and in good spirits while
they danced their way to hour 32 and a
cure.” Hackettstown-area instructors
Jennifer Rubin, Kelly Shea, and Carolyn
Sunday joined Amy, along with instructor
Daniele Washington from Hillsboro, NJ.
The marathon ran from Saturday, March
27th, through Sunday, March 28th and fea-
tured other local entertainers and Rutgers
students groups.

A Promising Seaon for

Hackettstown High School Golf
By Josh Lashley Tigers this spring are Tyler Mercurio and

A
fter a winter that saw many of us get
at least our fair share of snow, wind
and cold air, it’s refreshing to know
that the spring is now here. Of course, for
local high school student-athletes, teams
and coaches that means that it’s time to head
outdoors to compete in their chosen sport-
ing endeavors.
A sport which is simply made for the
warm weather is golf and those who play
for the Hackettstown High School program
will put forth their best effort in order to
improve themselves on a consistent basis
over the course of the season.
The Tigers had an overall record of 8-
8 last season and head coach Christopher
Conklin believes that his program can sur-
pass that mark this year.
“I would like us to work hard and be
competitive in each match,’’ Conklin said.
“I would expect us to finish over .500 this
year.’’
Two experienced golfers who will be
looked toward to provide leadership for the
Tylor Wyker.
“They are helping me with the new var-
sity players,’’ Conklin said. “They are
teaching them course management skills
necessary to compete at this level of golf.’’
Conklin stated that there are several
underclassmen on the roster who show
excellent promise for the team. The Tigers
are now part of the Northwest Jersey
Athletic Conference. Conklin is well aware
that there are many talented teams in the
division and he hopes that his golfers can

abrina – with just one little wiggle of her nose,
this little cutie-pie will put you under her spell
forever. Sabrina is a 3 year old Corgi mix who
was found homeless in New York City. Unfortunately,
she had been abused, and suffered a broken pelvis.
The good news is that after x-rays, physical therapy,
and plenty of rest, the vet says Sabrina has healed
100%. She’s good to go home now. Sabrina has been
in our foster program and has settled into a regular, sta-
ble, home life very well. Please adopt her. Please visit

cultural exchange epicenters for
the modern 20th Century due to
the business savvy of a young bride who
called herself not a housewife but a “Home

standing of the inventor mind since she was
the daughter of a successful millionaire
inventor. By the time the bright and beauti-
ful young Mina met Thomas Edison, his
name was already a household word.
Fatefully, he became an eligible bachelor
and widower of 3 young children in 1884.

$125,000 less than half the price it sold for
only a few years prior. The former owner
Henry C. Pedder was forced to relinquish
his assets due to an embezzlement convic-
tion. Edison was ecstatic over the
Glenmont estate purchase. His quote -
''When I entered this I was paralyzed. To
think that it was possible to buy a place like
this, which a man with taste for art and a tal-
ent for decoration had put years of enthusi-

Hooves, Paws, Tails & Claws Celebrating It’s 5th Anniversary
By Cheryl Conway
W
ith the beautiful weather under-
way, there is no reason why pets
need to stay indoors while own-
ers are working or out most of the day.
Hooves, Paws, Tails & Claws (HPTC) –
professional dog walking and pet sitting
service- in Independence Township makes
house calls to walk dogs or take care of pets
daily. Established in April 2005, the compa-
ny is celebrating its five-year anniversary
this month.
“Exercise is always a great thing,” says
Jan Quodomine, owner of HPTC Pet Care.
“It relieves the dog of boredom.”
And for travelers – whether for business
or pleasure- there is no need to disrupt a
pet’s routine by placing them into a board-
ing facility. HPTC Pet Care provides pet sit-
ting for all types of animals such as dogs,
cats, horses, birds and farm animals.
“They are much more comfortable at
home,” says Quodomine, rather than a ken-
nel. “It’s stressful for pets,” to go into

of this magnitude, explains Scantlebury.
The race, rain or shine, is open to all ages and walkers
are welcome. The 5k, which equates to 3.1 miles, will
begin at the Hopatcong High School track parking area at 9
a.m., continue through rolling hills and flat sections of rural
Hopatcong and end on the school track. Mile splits and
water near the half way point and finish line will be provid-
ed.
A mile-fun run will also be open for participants who
prefer to run/walk a mile around the high school track.
Giveaways, DJ, raffles and goodies will also be provided.
Prizes will be awarded to 1st, 2nd and 3rd place runners of
the 5K.
For Hopatcong students who participate, free homework
passes will be granted to those who turn in their race num-
ber to their school.
All contestants will receive a shirt that says “Run for
Jordan” with highest sponsors advertised on the back of the
shirts.
In addition to runners/walkers, organizers are also seek-
ing financial donations and sponsors to support the event.
All proceeds will go the Yaros family to help offset med-
ical bills from Jordan’s illness.
Although insurance covers a portion of the medical
expenses “It is very financially draining on their family,”
explains Scantlebury.
Julie Yaros, Jordan’s mother, is so overwhelmed by the
outpouring and caring in her community.
She and her husband Michael plan to use the money
towards hospital bills. Unsure exactly what the insurance
will cover, she says it may cover 50 to 70 percent. Surgery,
alone, to remove the tumor will cost more than $200,000.
“People are coming out from all over,” says Yaros. “At
first I was just surprised. To me it happens to other people.
All the people who want to help us… people are just con-
cerned for her and for us. The day we got the word, there
was food at our door.”
The day they got the word…..Jordan was on her way
home from the AAU Junior National Cross Country
Championship in Disney World in early Dec. last year when
she noticed that her right leg was swollen.
“We had a lay over in Georgia and she noticed her leg
was swollen,” describes Yaros. The next day, she took her
daughter for a MRI and was diagnosed with Ewing’s
Sarcoma.
“I knew when I went for the MRI,” says Scantlebury,
that something was wrong. “You know when you just know
there is something wrong. I just knew; it’s your worst fear.
The worst thing someone could tell you is your kid has can-
cer.”
Jordan’s cancer is not hereditary, nor is there anything
that she did that caused it, explains her mom. “Two cells hit
each other,” she explains. “They collided and didn’t get
along.”
While cancer does not run in Jordan’s family, Yaros is no
stranger to the disease.
She has worked at the Saint Claire’s Hospital registrar
for the past 20 years to report to NJ all stage cancers. There
are 400 cases a year in the United States of children diag-
nosed with the Ewing family of tumors.
Early diagnosis and treatment is important. If found
early enough, Ewing's Sarcoma can be treated before it
spreads to multiple organs. Ewing tumors that grow in the
bone are typically found in the long bones of the legs (as in
Jordan’s case) or arms, or bones in the chest, trunk, pelvis,
back, or head.
Jordan’s tumor is high up in the femur bone of her right
leg. In order to save her leg, shrink the tumor and stop the
spread of the disease, Jordan underwent four cycles of
chemotherapy since December before surgery earlier this
month. She had been instructed to stay off of her leg since
December, using crutches or a wheelchair. “They (doctors)
told her if she breaks it they’d have to amputate it,” says
Yaros.
“It’s been a long winter,” Yaros describes. Strickened
with fevers and a lung infection from the chemo, Jordan has
spent many days and weeks at Sloan Memorial Kettering
Cancer Center in NY. On an average day for chemo, Yaros
would leave her house at 6 a.m. and not return until 8 p.m.
“It was tough; it’s still tough. She’s (Jordan) tough. I
don’t know too many people who can do what she’s doing.”
Jordan underwent a 10-12 hour surgery on April 8 to
remove the tumor in the femur. Surgeons removed her fib-
lia, the smaller bone in the lower portion of the leg, and
graphed it into her femur bone.
Although the tumor has been removed, Jordan faces sev-
eral more rounds of aggressive chemotherapy to fight the
cancer.

“I’ve always liked animals,” says Quodomine who has a
bachelor’s degree in animal science. Throughout the years,
she and her husband have owned dogs, cats, horses, sheep,
a goat, many chickens, parrots, rabbits, ducks, anoles and a
few cattle. Quodomine has worked as a breeding farm assis-
tant at Guiding Eyes for the Blind in Yorktown Heights,
New York, where she learned about breeding dogs, puppy
care and basic obedience training. She has also worked as
an animal care technician caring for various other animals
such as pigs and monkeys.
She started HPTC Pet Care because “I saw a need in this
area for this service. People need someone who they can
trust and who is reliable in the area.
“Anybody who prefers to leave their pet at home should
know there is a service out there for them,” continues
Quodomine. Pets that are placed in a boarding facility can
get stressed. She cited one dog who was hoarse for a week
because he had barked the entire time he was in a boarding
place. She says barking is a sign of stress. “They are unhap-
py being in that situation.”

By being around other pets, animals can also inquire ill-
nesses. Most boarding places require pets to get vaccinated
with bordatella, which prevents kennel cough.
When pets are kept at home, “they get individual atten-
tion,” says Quodomine. Each visit lasts 30 minutes and
includes exercise which they may not get at a kennel. They
are also fed the same food that their owners feed them when
they can stay at home.
Another benefit of using Quodomine’s service is that
she charges her clients per visit rather than per pet.
Insured and bonded, the company is a member of Pet
Sitters International and is veterinarian recommended. Pet
sitters are available 365 days a year and can provide service
on short notice. The pet-care provider offers a 30-45 minute
consultation prior to the job for “a meet and greet” so the
animal, owner and sitter can get acquainted.
Currently, 150 clients in Hackettstown, Long Valley,
Budd Lake and Great Meadows use HPTC Pet Care to take
care of their pet’s needs. To celebrate its five years,
Quodomine is offering a 5 percent discount to anyone who
mentions this article. Offer valid until August.

Listen To Luigi
What has Obama Done to This Great Nation?
By Luigi Luciano
I
am so glad to be back and writing again.
I was away for a while and a lot has hap-
pened to this country since then. Most of
which is bad for anyone living here.
Since my last article the government is
now a majority owner of the a major auto
manufacturer. Got its foot in the door to the
health care industry. Became the largest
employer in the country. Unemployment is
at is highest in decades. The debt grew by 3
times from where is was and now we are in
a deal with Russia to disarm 30% of our
Nuclear weapons.
Sounds like real change to me. Only
change for the worse.
#1 Let me start with the one that really
gets the liberals going? Health care reform.
When the bill was passed over 70% of ALL
Americans (at least the ones that work)
were against the bill. The cost of the bill, the
increased premiums and the ultimate goal of
having the government run health care peo-
ple is what people are unhappy about to
name a few.
I believe that all Americans believe in
the need for health care reform it is just a
matter of how that reform is brought about.
Instead of opening up competition in the
insurance industry and allowing people to
purchase polices across state lines which
would drive down costs for people like you
and me they went in a whole different direc-
tion. Open competition, restrict lawsuits and
you will see a huge decrease in rates. In fact
anytime the government has less involve-
ment in anything it is a good thing and usu-
ally costs less.
So the bottom line is premiums have
already gone up now for families because
the new rules do not kick in for another 4
years and the insurance companies want
their premiums to be higher now for a high-
er average later. Obama will enforce this
law so if you do not have health insurance
you will be fined and the IRS will take the
money directly from you. In fact he hired
over 15,000 new IRS people already.
It is a mess, it is wrong and if you were
wondering why he has it set to start 4 years
from now instead of next year it is because
it would be after the next Presidential elec-
tion. If it were enforced today he would not
win re-election. Lastly when this started
Harry Reid and Pelosi said we have to pass
a bill now because there are 3 million peo-
ple dying every year because of lack of
health care. So I guess it was ok to pass the
bill and have it kick in 4 years from now
when according to their own words more
than 12 million people would have died
before the bill went into effect.
#2 The Stimulus bill. Obama said last
year if we do not pass this bill now unem-
ployment would raise to 10%. So the bill
passed and billions went out to save jobs.
Today we are close to 10% unemployment
and rising. So I guess the urgency of pass-
ing this bill to save jobs actually just pushed
us further in debt and was another lie. Just
another lie.
#3 The national debt. Obama has spent
more money than all the other Presidents
before him combined. Now the Liberals
who are still blaming everything on George
W Bush will say it was his fault. Get over it
already. This administration has been reck-
less with spending and borrowing and has
gotten us so far in debt that we will never
get out of it. Worse is they are not through
spending. We now have a 12.5 trillion dol-
lar debt thanks to team Obama. How do we
get out of this?
Last weeks USA Today had an article
about the Value Added Tax (VAT) being
considered by the administration. First they
tell us that the money for the new health
care will covered from saving on Medicare
now they say we need another tax to cover
the debt that will only go higher once the
health care bill begins. VAT tax is used by
many socialist countries. It adds a tax to
every stage of production and then a tax to
the consumer. One more lie.
#4 The Obama team says this will be the
most transparent administration ever. He
said and I quote from his website “My
Administration is committed to creating an
unprecedented level of openness in
Government. We will work together to
ensure the public trust and establish a sys-
tem of transparency, public participation,
and collaboration. Openness will strengthen
our democracy and promote efficiency and
effectiveness in Government.” So he hold
health care meting behind closed doors and
doesn’t allow CSPAN in. Cuts backroom
deals to get votes. Another Lie? You decide.
#5 The Obama team said we need to bail
out the auto industry. GM and Chrysler took
money. Ford the only true American car
company did not. Another decision by
Obama that we must bail them out now. The
result. GM reports 4.3 billion loss for the
last half of 2009 while Ford Motor Co post-
ed its first full-year profit in 2009 since
2005 and said it expects to stay profitable in
2010. The government owns 60.1% of GM
and the unions 39% .Obama maybe free
market does work?
#6 Now Obama is excited that he is sign-
ing an agreement with Russia to disarm
30% of our nuclear weapons. Sounds good I
guess. Especially to the Iranian and North
Koreans who are building nuclear weapons
and made it clear they would attack us if we
The views and opinions of this syndicated column does not reflect
the view and opinions of MJ Media, LLC
attack them. See if they would have made
that statement if Bush was still president. In
fact the administration said it is good to lead
by example so countries like Iran will see
we are compassionate and caring. I’m sure
while their people are beheading an
American they will do that with compas-
sion as well.
You see the pattern here? A president
was elected on hopes of change. We have
seen his change and it is not good change.
All the changes put into place by this
administration are changes that will destroy
this once great nation. The inexperience of
a leader has been revealed. The lack of
respect for our leader and this country has
been revealed. When people like Hugo
Chavez and Fidel Castro endorse the poli-
cies of Obama they cannot be good.
I am not sure what the supporters of
Obama still see in this man. He cannot
speak without having something written in
front of him. He lies outright and doesn’t

“The cancer did not affect her hip like
they thought it might,” says Scantlebury.
“The surgery was very long and she is in a
lot of pain, but they said it was successful!
She will continue with chemo thru summer
and with therapy on her leg. We can all hope
for a near complete recovery by the end of
summer! But it's still a long way away and
chemo certainly takes a toll on her.”
Jordan, who has been out of school since
Christmas tutoring at home, has remained
strong and hopes to be able to run again.
Her greatest run was in June 2009 during
the Merry Heart Race in Roxbury when she
ran a 5k in 21.19 seconds, she says. Long
distance is her specialty, along with some
sprints.
Jordan ran spring track and cross country
for the Hopatcong track team. Following
the eight weeks of cross country in the fall
2009, the Hopatcong team attended the NJ
state meet, followed by the regional meet in
order to qualify for nationals. Jordan was
one of 11 runners of various ages in the area
to compete against other teams throughout
the country at nationals last December,
according to Dave Barnish, head coach of
the Hopatcong Hawks Track Club for the

The same polling numbers the Democrats

Beside track, Jordan also played point
guard on the Hopatcong girls travel basket-
ball team before the tumor was detected.
“Being an athlete helps,” realizes Jordan.
“I’m strong and competitive.”
Jordan’s advice for other children with
cancer is to “Stay positive- don’t think of
the past. Think of what’s at the end and how
you are going to be better.”
In the meantime, Jordan says her focus is
“to do well in school, beat this thing and get
better.” She hopes to be at the finish line
during the 5K fundraiser.

Superb Dining Experience at The Lamplighter

By Kathryn Davis town. Friday nights the pub offers live entertainment. “We

L
ike most of us, I look forward to the weekends.
Weekdays are busy with work, school, errands, and
activities that culminate in the kitchen. By the time
we’ve finished cleaning up from dinner, we’re already
organizing for tomorrow. When the weekend arrives, it’s no
wonder we’re looking for a change. Once in a while, we all
deserve to have a special dining experience, just to rejuve-
nate our spirits. Recently, I visited The Lamplighter in
Chester for dinner. It was one of the most enjoyable
evenings I’ve had in a very long time.
The Lamplighter is a family business. Bob Brady and his
family opened The Lamplighter twenty-eight years ago. His
two brothers, Gary and Ron, are the head chefs. His nephew
, nieces, sister-in-law, and his son, Tom, are all a part of the
business. Brady notes that his parents still come by occa-
sionally, too.
When my friend and I arrived at the restaurant, we were
greeted by Brady. “I used to be a chef,” Brady tells us,
“before I came out on the floor.” Later that evening, we dis-
covered what a gifted chef he still is.
In addition to having a reputation for good food and a
warm, friendly atmosphere, The Lamplighter is also a pop-
ular destination for those looking for a night out on the
try to keep it local bands,” Brady explains. “It changes all
the time. We’ve had 60’s bands. Normally we have 70’s and
80’s music.”
Community groups like the Rotary, Lioness and Lions
Clubs, and the NJ Horsemen’s Association are frequent
patrons, as is the Black River Theater Group’s cast. “We’re
their Sardi’s. If you want a little New York theater atmos-
phere, come here after a show. We stay open for them,” says
Brady.
Upon entering the restaurant, we noticed a list of spe-
cials on the board. In addition to its extensive menu selec-
tions, The Lamplighter offers a special themed menu during
the months of March and October. “In March,” Brady
explains, “We do all Irish food, and in October, we do
German food.” The March menu includes favorites such as
Shepherd’s Pie, Irish Stew, Fish & Chips, and of course,
Corned Beef and Cabbage. The October menu includes
desserts like German Chocolate Cake, which remains a
favorite all year. “We’ll still do it during the year if a cus-
tomer requests it,” says Brady. “It’s pretty popular.” There
were some special desserts during March as well. “This
month we had a Guinness Fruitcake ala Mode. The bread

he adds with a smile.

dine at a relatively quiet time. On the
evening of my visit, I watched the dining
area fill quickly. There were a few couples
in the room of varying ages, a family with
young children (Quite well-behaved, I’d
like to add!), a group of grandparents sitting
around a large table (Yes, I overheard them
bragging about their grandchildren.), and a
woman seated in a corner dining alone with
her laptop. I could see that The Lamplighter
attracts a wide variety of patrons.
Our server, Jessica, was friendly and
patient as she answered our questions and
offered explanations about the menu. We
chatted about the menu items and she con-
fided that their vodka sauce was especially
good. “I like it a lot. In fact, all the girls get
that quite frequently here.”
When we asked to see the wine list, we
found it was quite reasonably priced, with
servings by the split, half bottle, or bottle, or
simply by the glass. The choices included
sparkling wines and champagnes, and wines
from California, New York State, Italy, and
France.
I already knew about the soup choices.
Brady had explained, “We always have
French onion soup. That’s a standard. But
we always have a soup of the day.”
Although tempting, we opted to skip that
course in order to save room for other
choices.
When our server placed a bread basket

continued from page 25
on the table, we were pleasantly surprised to see that, in
addition to the soft, crusty Italian bread, which I learned
was from Anthony & Sons Bakery in Denville, there were
also slices of The Lamplighter’s authentic and delicious
homemade Irish soda bread, a specialty only available dur-
ing the month of March. A few crisp sesame breadsticks
were also included in our basket.
Our house salads consisted of fresh salad greens with
grated carrots and red onion. My companion ordered the
bleu cheese dressing, and I asked for the balsamic vinai-
grette. Everything was fresh, crisp, and tasty. Our appetiz-
ers arrived soon after. My friend had ordered the Clams
Casino. Six half-shells filled with a savory breadcrumb
mixture with bacon and peppers was delightful. My shrimp
cocktail was equally impressive. Each large succulent
shrimp was deliciously fresh, and beautifully arranged
around a serving of fresh, tangy cocktail sauce with a lemon
wedge.
For our entrees, my companion ordered the Shrimp Fra
Diavolo, a very spicy Italian specialty. “Fra diavolo” is
Italian for “brother devil” and is so-named because of the
generous amount of red pepper flakes used in its prepara-
tion. He asked if the chef could prepare a milder version.
Our server told us this was absolutely possible, that The
Lamplighter is always happy to customize a dish to please
their guests. As our host, Brady, had explained earlier, “We
cook to order and we can alter any dish. If we have the
ingredients, we can cook it.”
Jessica had recommended the Surf & Turf, so I chose
this for my entrée. The filet mignon was perfectly grilled,
tender, juicy, and topped with sautéed mushrooms. The lob-
ster tail was very tender and flavorful, and served on a split
shell with three large beer batter onion rings, a golden slice
of garlic toast, and my choice of side, a serving of crisp-ten-
der broccoli.
When Jessica asked if we were interested in dessert, I
recalled Brady saying, “We don’t have a dessert menu per
se. We make our own desserts one at a time so everything
is fresh.”
I asked our server about the evening’s dessert choices.
She said there are certain standards offered more frequent-
ly. “The dessert menu sells out very quickly,” she told us,
“because they do make everything fresh. It’s always chang-
ing, depending on the season.” That evening, Jessica sug-
gested the chocolate mousse cake and the cheesecake.
One bite of the chocolate mousse cake and I knew I was
going to have to bring family and friends here on another
evening. It was light, yet so rich and decadent that I savored
every bite blissfully. My friend had the cheesecake. When
he told me it was the best cheesecake he ever had, I knew I
needed a taste. He did not lie.
Our host stopped by at our table, and we told him both
desserts were amazing. It was then that we discovered what
an incredible dessert chef Brady is. He surprised me again
when he offered to share his recipes. He explained that his
mousse cake contains close to two pounds of semi-sweet
chocolate.
“Someone once wanted me to make him the cheesecake
commercially, but I didn’t want to do that,” he recalled. “So
I told him if he gave me his recipe for chocolate mousse
cake, I’d give him my cheesecake recipe. So we swapped!”
My visit that evening to The Lamplighter was memo-
rable, and I learned that dinner isn’t the only reason to treat
myself to a visit. Even the lunch menu is distinctive. Their
attention to detail makes their food exceptional. “We don’t
use precooked corned beef for our Reubens,” Brady told
me. “We use a brisket, and cook it up here. I think it makes
a world of difference.” It’s just another example of what
makes this restaurant special. It’s those little details, the
extra effort to do things right, that makes a world of differ-
ence.
The Lamplighter is located at 190 West Main Street in
Chester. They offer both on and off premise catering, with
a private party room that holds seventy, although they have
accommodated parties of up to one hundred fifty people.
They are in the process of constructing a new website. For

Centenary College theatre presents
ANTIGONE
T
he Centenary College of Theatre and
Dance will be presenting the Greek
Classic “Antigone” April 29th – May
2nd at the Centenary Theatre in
Hackettstown. Adapted by Centenary stu-
dent Rachael Scardelli, “Antigone” is a
powerful drama that has withstood the test
of time. The play centers around the strug-
gle between Antigone and her Uncle – King
Creon – for the right of Antigone to bury her
beloved brother who was killed in a bloody
battle for the throne.
“Antigone” has gone through many
adaptations and translations since it was
first written by Sophocles in 441 B.C.E.
This particular production has been adapted
by Centenary junior Rachael Scardelli.
Rachael is an English major who was asked
to collaborate on the piece as an independ-
ent study. Primarily a poet, this is Rachael’s
first play, and she worked tirelessly to bring
a new voice to a classic drama. Using as
many as twelve different translations,
Rachael modernized the language to draw
parallels to current events and headlines.
The inspiration for this student collabo-
rated production came after the Director of
“Antigone”, Assistant Professor of Theatre
and Dance, Stephen Davis, accompanied a
group of Centenary students and faculty to
New Orleans, Louisiana. The group spent a
week helping to rebuild homes for families
four and a half years after the devastating
tragedy of Hurricane Katrina. Much like
the world in which Antigone lives, the land-
scape of New Orleans and its surrounding
wards look more like a ravaged war zone
than a thriving city. For Professor Davis it
was a perfect modern parallel for a play that
delves into the best and worst of humanity.
“Antigone” marks Stephen's first pro-
duction for Centenary College. A resident
of Hackettstown, NJ, Davis’s recent credits
include the school touring productions of
“Agamemnon” and “A Toast to
Friendship”, both with Kean University, as
well as “Romeo and Juliet” with American
Globe Theatre in New York City. Assisting
Professor Davis is Centenary student Clay
Dobosh. Clay has appeared onstage in mul-
tiple Centenary College productions, most
recently in “Godspell”, but this is his first
experience working behind the scenes as an
assistant director. Clay will be graduating
this May
The production of “Antigone” will be
performed in the Little Theatre on the cam-
pus of Centenary College in Hackettstown,
NJ. Performance dates and times are
Thursday April 29th at 7 pm, Friday April
30th at 8 pm, Saturday May 1st at 8 pm, and
Sunday May 2nd at 2:30 pm. Tickets are
$10 for adults, $8 for students and seniors,
and $5 for Centenary students and faculty.
