August 22, 2012 THE VILLADOM TIMES IV • Page 17 Mahwah Minutes ‘Brideshead Revisited’ to be discussed “Not by Bread Alone,” a spiritual book discussion group, will meet on Sunday, Aug. 26 at Panera Bread, 1300 Route 17 in Ramsey. This month’s selection is “Brideshead Revisited” by Evelyn Waugh. In this classic tale of British life between the World Wars, Waugh parts company with the satire of his earlier works to examine affairs of the heart. Charles Ryder finds himself stationed at Brideshead, the family seat of Lord and Lady Marchmain. Exhausted by the war, he takes refuge in recalling his time spent with the heirs to the estate before the war years. Ryder portrays a family divided by an uncertain investment in Roman Catholicism and by their confusion over where the elite fit in the modern world. This event is sponsored by the Church of the Immaculate Conception in Mahwah. For more information, contact Jennifer Edwards at Jennifer.EdwardsICC@gmail.com or (201) 327-1276. The next session of “Not by Bread Alone,” set for Sept. 20, will focus on Immaculee Ilibagiza’s personal account of the Rwandan genocide in “Left to Tell: Discovering God Amidst the Rwandan Holocaust.” Local students honored The following Mahwah students have been named to the Dean’s List for the spring 2012 semester: Dylan M.

Incentive offered for appliance replacement The Sustainable Mahwah Team reminds residents of its Large Appliance Early Retirement Program for refrigerators and freezers. This program is advocated by Sustainable Jersey, the New Jersey Board of Public Utilities, and New Jersey’s Clean Energy Program. In an effort to encourage residents to upgrade to energy efficient refrigerators and freezers, the program pays the owner $50 and provides for free removal and pickup of unwanted working units. Replacing outdated refrigerators and freezers with newer, more energy efficient models can significantly reduce greenhouse gas emissions and household energy costs. Refrigerators and freezers consume the most energy of all household appliances and outdated models can consume three to four times more energy than newer models. Recycling large appliances is important because refrigerators and freezers include harmful components that are not appropriate for landfill disposal. The program facilitates the proper disposal of older units with 98 percent of the parts diverted from landfills. For assistance with the Sustainable Mahwah Team program, contact Karin La Greca at (201) 669-8267. The Sustainable Mahwah team encourages residents to sign up for its news and discussion group at http://groups.google. com/group/sustainable-mahwah or contact Sustainable Mahwah at sustainablemahwah@mahwahtwp.org.

Tickets available for MRCC event There are still a few slots available for golf and tennis, and sponsorship opportunities for those who would like to participate in the Mahwah Regional Chamber of Commerce’s 21st Annual Golf Outing and Humanitarian Dinner Fundraiser. The event is set for Sept. 10 at the Tuxedo Club in Tuxedo, New York. At the dinner, the Chamber will be honoring David F. Bolger as Humanitarian of the Year. A well-known community philanthropist, Bolger has chosen The Valley Hospital Foundation as the recipient of a portion of the proceeds.

Museum and caboose open through fall Mahwah Museum’s Old Station Museum and Caboose, located at 1871 Old Station Lane in Mahwah, will be open on Sundays from 2 to 4 p.m. through Oct. 28. Admission is $3 for an individual and $5 for family groups. Children under age 12 are admitted free. For more information, visit www.mahwahmuseum.org. The Old Station Museum was built in 1871 and moved to its present location by the Mahwah Historical Society in 1965. Shortly thereafter, it was opened as a museum and has been continuously in operation ever since. The Mahwah Museum Society, as successor to the historical society, now operates the venue. The station was a vital part of the history of Mahwah. Farmers were able to ship their products to a larger market, the community could provide recreation for summer visitors, and commuters could reach their workplaces in New York City. The station features a small operating model railroad and displays of many other items from the railroad’s history. The 1929 caboose was brought to the site and refurbished as a museum, where visitors learn about the importance of the caboose as a nerve center of each train and a place for the crew to relax.
