I'm really happy to see old friend Chris Pronger voted into the Hockey Hall of Fame. Pronger won't need a microphone when he gives his speech. The ultimate honor for an NHL player reaffirms Pronger's true greatness. the 6-6 Pronger stands tall among the best defensemen in NHL history. Pronger was a towering figure on skates, all arms and legs and carrying a mean stick that gave opposing forwards reason to pause before they wandered into his space. With an extra-long reach, Pronger could easily pluck the puck from opponents or deliver a whack that made them stop in their tracks. His name was Pronger. They had to be aware of Pronger's location at all times, because soon he'd be coming at them like a deranged giraffe. Pronger was a Blue between 1995 and 2004, and I never covered a more tenacious competitor during my time in St. Louis. Pronger defended his territory with an all-out zeal. Pronger's extreme saltiness was matched by his tremendous skill. And when Pronger got possession of the puck with the chance to put the Blues on the attack, he'd rarely hesitate. Pronger knew exactly where to go to find the opening, and he'd thread accurate passes to send the Blues into the neutral zone and on their way. Pronger did it all.
If the oversized spokes-candies in front of the building don't get the point across — Red and Yellow hold up the awning while Miss Green and Ms. Brown sit cross-legged on top — the smell hammers it home. Imagine a saccharine whiff of candy apples fused with the rich essence of a fudge factory. Here in Hackettstown, at the northwestern edge of the state in a sprawling complex on High Street, Mars Incorporated has been churning out M&M's, the company's iconic candy-coated chocolates, since 1958. Yet the candy-maker has called New Jersey... Mars may have deep roots in the state, but the company's approach to selling M&M's has changed much over the last decade. Today millions of M&M's — nearly half of the total sold in the United States — are produced in Hackettstown every year. The plant alone measures 460,000 square feet, but the compound also serves as the headquarters of Mars Chocolate North America, which manages a sea of candy brands, from Dove bars to Twix. There is IP — intellectual property — company practices and procedures that Mars doesn't allow to be photographed or recorded.
The house in the Cedar Park neighborhood is close enough to the Navy-Marine Corps Memorial Stadium that its occupants can tell when Navy has scored a touchdown. Three of the house's four male residents, ranging from their 30s into early 50s, are people with mild intellectual disabilities. The house was purchased by Bello Machre in 2007 specifically to house the three men. They live in the home with its director Rob Neal. "These guys are independent," said Tracy Lynott, the organization's development director, "They can be alone on their own daily for ten hours at a time. "But after ten hours, they need to touch base," said Neal. David Hall, employed by a contractor from March through December, has worked as a member of the grounds crew at the Naval Academy for more than 30 years. The remaining two months of the year, he tends the grounds of the other Bello Machre homes. For four years, Doug Forrester has been employed by a local Royal Farms. A major selling point for the house is that it is a short walk from a major bus line. He's been employed by Bello Machre for 16 years.
