A South Orange Safecracker and Sidekick Are Pranked by the Past
A stubborn safe yielded a seasonal surprise for Kristen Tyler
Editor's Note: This story originally ran on April 1, 2012. It became a Patch favorite, so we added to it and we're running it again a year later. Enjoy! Kristen Tyler needed help. “Anyone know a good safecracker?” she asked on a local message board. While cleaning, pricing, and arranging household items for an estate sale, Tyler had noticed a small door on the side of the fireplace. It was painted shut. When she used a hammer and a screwdriver to pry it open she found a safe. And she needed the safe opened in a hurry, not only because she was curious about its contents, but because the bank which owned the house said they were “obligated” to open it. Tyler, who runs MT House Sales, often works in houses whose owners have moved away or …

Hometown (or Almost) Matzoh is on Passover Tables
Newark-based Manischewitz showed off its matzoh-making
Matzoh has a long history and a short rising time. According to rabbinic law, once flour is combined with water, matzoh dough must be kneaded, rolled and baked within 18 minutes. Otherwise, the dough will begin to rise and is no longer considered appropriate. At Manischewitz's Newark headquarters, where sheets of matzoh are baked throughout the day, the clock is always ticking down those 18 minutes. The pristine factory is white and silver, as white matzoh dough rolls efficiently along an aluminum "assembly line." The dough ends its journey boxed and labelled, ready for holiday meals.

Millburn Residents Unwilling to Provide Livingston Sewer Services
Recent ruling in an affordable housing case with TMB Partners would require Millburn to provide sewer services for many more Livingston units on Tutor Time property.
More than 25 Millburn and Short Hills residents showed up at a Tuesday township committee meeting in Millburn to rail against a recent Superior Court ruling requiring Millburn Township to provide sewer service to 62 more units on the Tutor Time property in Livingston. The Short Hills Association urged the committee to appeal the ruling against the township in an affordable housing case with TMB Partners. The residents said the ruling would impair a Millburn sewer system that already has serious issues and would forever change the nature of Millburn. "It's not Millburn's responsibility to provide sewer service for a project in another town that has its own capacity," Michael Steinberg of Short Hills said at the meeting. "Let Livingston take…

The Doctor (Who) Is In
Thanks to a local sophomore, Doctor Who is popular among kids, teens, and adults. Sparkhouse has proof.
Box falls from sky. Man falls from box. Man eats fish custard. If that makes sense, there's a good chance you know a Whovian. If not, chances are you soon will. Doctor Who, the long-running, ever-popular British television series, is enjoying a renewed popularity locally. Doctor Who figures are selling briskly at Sparkhouse, a popular South Orange toy store, with a large Dalek on order. Teens are planning to mark the new season, which begins March 30, with marathon viewing parties. And at least some of the local craze can be traced back to a single Whovian, Columbia High School sophomore Russell Pinzino. "I got into Doctor Who when I was nine years old, visiting my cousins in London," explains Pinzino. "When I came back home, it was all I…

A Well-Traveled Masterpiece Comes Home to Newark
The Newark Museum's well-traveled Hopper painting is back in New Jersey, after a trip to Madrid and Paris
A well-travelled Garden Stater is home. After months in Madrid and Paris, the return was delayed by last weekend's snowstorm. No matter: Newark's Hopper is home. Edward Hopper's "The Sheridan Theatre," painted in 1937, was on loan from the Newark Museum for an exhibit that traveled from Madrid to Paris, explained the museum's Andrea Hagy, who traveled from Paris to Newark with the painting. Hopper was a hit, she said. The Grand Palais in Paris has had three blockbusters; after Picasso and Monet, Hopper was the best-selling ticket in town. "There were lines out the door," reports Hagy. "The Sheridan Theatre" is one of the most-travelled works in the Newark Museum collection. However, said Hagy, sending priceless art work overseas -- or even…
