  • Renault Winery Offers the Taste of Good Golf
    Renault Winery offers the taste of good golf By DAVE BONTEMPO Greens and grapes? The concept has come East, with Renault Winery and its Vineyard National golf course showcasing a dash of European sophistication. Renault offers a sense of the golf-and-wine tasting tours that have become prominent all-day events throughout France. It combines the nation’s third-oldest winery with a golf course traversing through the vineyards. (Yes, a bad shot could put you in the Grapes of Wrath). For patrons of this Egg Harbor City course, it’s easy to walk from the 18th green to an on-property restaurant and taste some wine created at this establishment. Renault will further emphasize its heritage with more wine- tasting stations and opportunities amid its revitalization project impacting the hotel, restaurant, wine and wedding facilities. The process is ongoing, and transformative. It was a French immigrant, Louis Renault, who began this winery in 1864 and Vivamee Hospitality (Vivamee is taken from the French term to revive the soul) that aims to restore its grandeur. While that process unfolds, golfers are greeted with a scenic track. There are four sets of tees, ranging from a championship-level length of 7,000 yards to a more-realistic 5,748, depending upon one’s ability level. Vineyard National requires length off the tee, making the selection of the tee box and the delivery of a good drive important. Yet it won’t intimidate high-handicap golfers. The greens are, for the most part, open in front. “One of the best characteristics of this course is that there is nothing else out here, it’s peaceful and very player- friendly,” says Paul Israel, the club’s director of golf operations.

INTRODUCTORY THE INIanual of the One Hundred and Eighth Session of the Legislature of New Jersey is, we trust, an improvement on preceding volumes. We have honestly striven every year to make each succeeding book suj^e- rior to all others, and hope, ere long, to present a work which will take rank with the best of its kind published in the United States. To do this we need a continuance of the support heretofore given us, and the official assist- ance of the Legislature. We are confident that this little hand-book, furnished at the small cost of one dollar a volume, is indispensable to every legislator, State official and others, who can, at a moment's notice, refer to it for information of any sort connected with the politics and affairs of State. The vast amount of data, compiled in such a remarkably concise manner, is the result of care- ful research of official documents; and the sketches of the Governor, members of the Judiciary, Congressmen, members of the Legislature, and State officers, are authentic.

  • Yellowstone National Park! Renowned Snowcapped Eagle Peak
    YELLOWSTONE THE FIRST NATIONAL PARK THE HISTORY BEHIND YELLOWSTONE Long before herds of tourists and automobiles crisscrossed Yellowstone’s rare landscape, the unique features comprising the region lured in the West’s early inhabitants, explorers, pioneers, and entrepreneurs. Their stories helped fashion Yellowstone into what it is today and initiated the birth of America’s National Park System. Native Americans As early as 10,000 years ago, ancient inhabitants dwelled in northwest Wyoming. These small bands of nomadic hunters wandered the country- side, hunting the massive herds of bison and gath- ering seeds and berries. During their seasonal travels, these predecessors of today’s Native American tribes stumbled upon Yellowstone and its abundant wildlife. Archaeologists have discov- ered domestic utensils, stone tools, and arrow- heads indicating that these ancient peoples were the first humans to discover Yellowstone and its many wonders. As the region’s climate warmed and horses Great Fountain Geyser. NPS Photo by William S.

Edward Shippen Burd's grandfather, Col. James Burd (1726-1793), was born near Edinburgh, Scotland, and settled on a farm in Lancaster County, Pennsylvania, after his marriage in 1748 to Sarah Shippen, a member of the prominent Shippen family of Lancaster and Shippensburg. He joined the military as an officer at the outbreak of the French and Indian War, eventually earning the rank of colonel by 1758. From 1756-1757 he was in command of Fort Augustus, near Shamokin, Pennsylvania, and from 1764-1770 he held the office of Justice of Lancaster County. In 1774, a year before the outbreak of hostilities with Great Britain, Col. Burd was instrumental in garnering local support for the colonial congress in its opposition to the Crown, and by the following year was assisting in the military organization of Lancaster County as a member of the Committee of Safety.
