It is difficult to think how an election could be more bizarre. An incumbent president’s dropping out of the race just months before election day. His replacement? Potentially the first woman and first Asian American president in U.S. history. Her challenger?

Calls for invasions and occupations, attacks and counterattacks, airstrikes and arms packages unite those who embrace military force across the world’s battlefields and centers of power.

By David Cochran | Posted December 14, 2023In 1890, two years before famous composer and bandmaster John Phillips Sousa started his popular Sousa Band, several musicians gathered in the upper room of the Blawenburg blacksmith and wheelwright shop to play music together. They called themselves the Blawenburg Band. A greatly expanded version of that band is still playing today, 133 years later. It is one of the oldest and longest-playing bands in New Jersey.

This is called anchoring, and it can have drastic effects on supply management organizations and their companies. It may sound basic, but the anchoring effect is surprisingly strong. Imagine buying a house.

By David Cochran | August 17, 2023It’s easy to misplace your keys or forget where you put your wallet, but losing a windmill? That’s hard to do and even harder to find. But such was the plight of the Van Zandt family, formerly of Blawenburg. Their property, called Broad View Farm, was a premier agricultural site in New Jersey for nearly a century. It was one of the first farms in Blawenburg, having been established in the 1740s by the Dutch immigrants Peter and Aeltje Nevius.

Over its many years, the troop has had an outstanding record of helping scouts attain the rank of Eagle, the highest rank in scouting. On September 24,1966, Larry May became the first Eagle Scout in the troop, and since then, 217 boys have followed his lead. The troop expects five or six scouts to reach Eagle this year.
