Who’s NOT planning a BBQ this weekend? If the weather holds and you’ve got propane or charcoal, chances are, you’re grilling something with your friends and family. Here, new ideas for keeping your costs down. Sponsored by Home Depot.
Here at Patch, we like to be thrifty, so we talked to two barbeque experts and uncovered some really good ideas to help you save money on your next outdoor party. 1. Start with a marinade.

Just marinate it or brine for one or two days and then cook long and slow on the barbeque grill to break down tissues but maintain moisture. “You need to include an acid in the marinade, perhaps juice, vinegar or soy sauce, but avoid cola which is so acidic it can turn meat into a soggy mess.” Try…

He joins Allan Kane as the two captains in the department.
The promotion of Chris Doyle from lieutenant to the rank of captain was done so to keep up with an evolving police department, Galloway Police Chief Patrick Moran said following the council meeting on Tuesday night, May 14. “We’re expecting retirements over the next several years, and we need to move people into key positions,” Moran said. Doyle becomes the second captain on the force, along with Allan Kane. In January, Chris McGinty was promoted to the position of corporal and Mark D’Esposito was promoted to sergeant. Doyle’s promotion leaves the department with a vacant lieutenant’s position that Moran said would not be filled. There are no lieutenants on the force. There are six sergeants and five corporals currently on the force. Doyle…
