RESIDENT FEATURE
SMILE AND EAT HAPPY WITH THE BELLAS FAMILY By Stacey McEvoy Photos by Erin Bauers and courtesy of the Bellas family
S
ometimes things are meant to be. The stars just line up. That’s what happened with the Bellas family’s Sorriso Kitchen, which is opening downtown at 252 Main Street. Sorriso Kitchen serves creative fresh farm-to-table breakfast and lunch while supporting the special needs community. That’s bound to put a sorriso on your face. Sorriso means smile in Italian. The inspiration for the name? It’s LJ (Lawrence James)—Karen and Jimmy Bellas’s 17-year-old son who has Down syndrome. “LJ puts a smile on everyone’s face who meets him,” says Karen. “We were thinking it would be a great learning experience for our 14-year-old son Nico and we knew we would be providing a place for LJ to work. It’s very important to Jimmy and I that LJ be a part of the community he lives in,” she says. LJ, a lover of people and dogs and a huge Bruno Mars fan—as anyone who knows him knows—will greet and seat patrons. “It’s a place where LJ can work in a safe environment and be respected,” adds Jimmy, noting he and Karen are hopeful that Sorriso Kitchen will serve as a model for other businesses to offer some training opportunities to the disabled in their communities. Jimmy grew up in the restaurant business in Long Island, NY, where his father who ran eateries for more than 50 years,
Celebrating LJ's birthday. owned a 350-seat seafood restaurant in Port Washington called Jimmy’s Backyard for 27 years before it closed in 1993. “I grew up in the kitchen standing on a milk crate,” laughs Jimmy, who studied hotel and restaurant management and eventually opened his own place, a wood burning brick oven pizza restaurant up the street from Jimmy’s Backyard. “In 1996, when I was bartending one evening, a beautiful woman came to the bar and ordered a Limoncello,” says Jimmy, noting that Limoncello wasn’t a popular order at the time. The beautiful woman who knew of Limoncello from a recent trip to Amalfi, a place where the limoncello lemon is grown, was Karen. After selling his business in 1998, the year they were married, Jimmy entered corporate America where he would work for 20 years at American Express, Tiffany & Co. and Dean & Deluca. But he never lost sight of the restaurant business, thinking that one day he might return to it; perhaps with his own family that now included Karen. Raised in Brooklyn, NY, the only child of Greek and Italian parents, Karen followed her passion for art and earned her bachelor’s degree in advertising from the School of Visual Arts in Manhattan. She then worked as an art director and

"I grew up acquiring a love for travel, music and good food," says Karen. "My grandparents would sit at the table at breakfast and plan lunch and dinner with great passion!" Eight years ago, Karen converted the family’s two-car garage into an art studio and opened Coccabella Art & Design to teach children and adults. “I love being creative. It's part of almost everything I do. And it's wonderful sharing what I've learned with the children--to see their passion and excitement,” says Karen who has taught after school programs in art at Southern Boulevard School, St. Vincent Martyr School and Rainbow Montessori. She also does lots of creative work pro bono for ECLC where LJ is a student. Nico, a Chatham High School freshman, a Boy Scout in Troop 8 and a member of the marching band who plays the sax, guitar and piano, likes to cook and keep the family entertained with his humor. He helped his parents pull the trigger on opening the eatery after hearing years’ worth of stories about his grandparents restaurant. “One day Nico said, ‘Would you guys stop talking about it and just do it already?’” recalls Karen. “We looked at each other and said: We should just do it.” The couple took a walk downtown one morning soon after and dropped in at Angie’s diner where Sorriso Kitchen is now located. It was just the kind of spot they had envisioned—small enough to be a mostly family-operated business. After speaking with the owners, who were ready to retire and coincidentally of Greek decent like Jimmy and Karen who is half Greek, they said that God had sent the Bellas family to them—they were meant to open their dream in the space. A star lined up.
The Bellas and Chatfield families
Next, they would need a chef to help them drive their vision. They began their search for someone who could provide creative, delicious food offerings with a contemporary flair and unexpected twist. They were thrilled to quickly find their executive chef Ryan Chatfield who trained at the Culinary Institute of America. Ryan’s scrumptious goat cheese and blueberry compote-stuffed French toast, trio of avocado toasts and short rib bacon and arugula burger helped seal the deal. Another star lined up. In their conversations to determine if Sorriso Kitchen would open seven days a week, Karen and Jimmy concluded that the restaurant would close on Mondays. “It was the genesis of turning the restaurant into a training ground on Mondays for ECLC students,” says Jimmy, pointing out that it was also Disability Awareness month in October when the restaurant was shooting to open. The project just seemed meant to be—yet another star lined up.
so grateful,” says Karen. The $25,000 goal was exceeded by more than $6,000. Another star joined the lineup. Karen’s creative work is visible everywhere—from the restaurant’s design inside and outside to the colors, the illustrations on the walls, the logo and the menu which includes some family recipes inspired by the couple’s Greek and Italian heritages. “We love feeding and entertaining folks,” says Karen, who is heavily influenced by her more than eight visits to Italy “either for art classes or just for plain love of such a beautiful country and its people. I've always found it to be truly a treat for the senses. It's my favorite place away from home," she says. Karen’s dad was born there and came to America when he was 2 when they settled in Brooklyn. “When I graduated from college, he took me on a 15-day tour to Italy as my gift and I was hooked! On my most recent trip, I had a delicious breakfast item in Siena
The family decided it was a must to have an ADA-compliant restroom along with other renovations and items needed, so they launched a Kickstarter campaign to help them get the project done. “There was a tremendous amount of support from friends in the community. We are

RESIDENT FEATURE that our chef is recreating. It's absolutely delectable--you'll have to come in to see what it is!” Karen and Jimmy wish both sets of their parents were still here. “I know they'd be so delighted for our mission. We feel like maybe they're sitting on our shoulders through this all. They'd be so proud of their grandsons too,” Karen says. “Jimmy and I have always lived by our gut. We've asked ourselves many times, how does this or that feel? We've always listened and let that guide us. My feeling is that this adventure of ours is purely driven by inspiration. Not just motivation. There was something very strong inside us pulling at us and driving Sorriso to come to be. It just feels right. And we're delighted to be along for the ride,” says Karen. Sorriso Kitchen’s tag line invites the community to “eat happy.” That’s a given. Start with having LJ bring you to your seat. � We would like to thank Salerno Duane Inc. in Summit for bringing you this month’s cover story.

ASH BATS & SPITBALLS Contributed by Liz Holler, Chatham Historical Society
A
Chatham baseball team composed of local young men was formed in 1878. They called themselves the Passaics and held meetings in Kelley’s Hall above what is now the Sherwin Williams paint store at 246 Main Street. Establishing a team treasury, the Passaics paid dues and held fundraisers. Sportsminded residents and local businesses made donations. A welladvertised social held at the Fairview Hotel on an October night in 1887 also brought in needed funds. The Passaics were able to purchase 6 ash bats for a dollar. Baseballs cost a dollar each. Their home games were played on an empty field, owned by Charles Lum, on the western end of Main Street. They paid Mr. Lum rent for the use of their field. Long-time Chatham names appear on the team roster: Joseph Minton, Frank Budd, Charles Edwards, William Phipps, Clinton Day, Addison Day, Ed Littlejohn, George E. Lum, W. Pollard, F. Garrison, Louis Roberts. In the team secretary’s notes it was mentioned that two Passaics went on to the big leagues: “Force and Battin are playing on the St. Louis team this year.” The Passaics’ games took place on Saturdays and Mondays. The opposing ball teams were the Resolute of Madison, the Clippers of Green Village, and the Fortunes of Summit. The Passaics also took on teams from Irvington, Orange, and Newark. Their expense books reveal that the Passaics paid local resident B.B. Bond for horse and wagon rides to transport the team for games in Caldwell and Plainfield. Another Chatham baseball team emerged in the early 1900s, the Chatham Athletics. The Athletics, also consisting of young Chatham men, were in action circa 1906 to the 1920s. A scorebook kept by the Chatham Athletics in one of their peak years, is in the Chatham Historical Society archives. Like the Passaics, the Chatham Athletics played home and away games against Millburn, Roseland, Berkeley Heights, Livingston, and Madison. The late Arthur B. Jaquith shared his fond memories of

playing on the Chatham Athletics. His recollections are recorded in the Fishawack papers. Mr. Jaquith recalled “the principal sluggers” of the team were Preston Lum and Boyd Howarth who hit homeruns over Myrtle Avenue, which back then was a paper street with no houses and no windows to break. The playing field was an empty lot on Summit Avenue, where Fern Avenue now splinters off. It was referred to as “the field behind the roundhouse.” The roundhouse for the trains stood very close to the town’s current recycling center. Mr. Jaquith remembers that Preston Lum was a spitball pitcher with “a jowl full of slippery elm.” Paul Molitor, Sr. served as an excellent umpire for games. Mr. Molitor was approached to join the National League as an umpire; however, he refused because the job entailed long trips away from his family. As Chatham life progressed into the 1900s, the sports captured the attention of local residents. Tennis, golf, bowling, boxing, football, billiards and various other sports became popular past-times.

f you ask someone about Green Village, N.J., they will probably tell you about the Green Village Deli (once home to The Green Village School), the Green Village Fire Department, the Methodist Church, the Post Office, the garden center The Farm and perhaps local lore. The unincorporated community is located in Harding Township, N.J., and Chatham Township, N.J., and is named after Ashbel Green, an American Presbyterian minister and academic who was a former president of Princeton University. Green Village was once an industrial village. Besides the farms and markets, Green Village had iron forges, a blacksmith shop, a soap factory, wagon works, grain and saw mills, a peach basket factory and other small businesses.
Peach Basket Factory (c.1917) (Courtesy of Chatham Township Historical Society)
The basket-making factory was owned and operated by William F. DeMott., a N.J. native who was born in Hunterdon County on November 21, 1857. Mr. DeMott came to Green Village in 1881. That same year he married Harriet Ward of Mendham, N.J. He was 24 years old and previously had earned his livelihood by burning and selling charcoal. Charcoal is made by burning wood that comes from a type of tree referred to as a hardwood. During the process, oxygen is restricted so the charcoal doesn’t turn to ash. A hardwood is a deciduous tree that loses its leaves in winter and buds in the spring. Charcoal was a common cooking and heating source at the time. The resources of the Great Swamp and area businesses attracted William DeMott to Green Village. William DeMott leased portable sawing equipment that he ran in five different counties to collect timber. DeMott worked hard selling charcoal and wood till he amassed enough capital to build a lumber mill in Green Village. DeMott also built and operated his William DeMott
Wagon Works Mill (c.1892) on the Green Village Green. At first, DeMott made tool handles, wagon materials and timber for railroads. Oak trees and chestnut trees were used for railroad beds while pine trees, white oak trees and chestnut trees were used for wagon wood. Maple trees, hickory trees and elm trees were used to make handles for tools such as shovels, rakes and axes. William DeMott got into the peach basket business when an old friend retired and wanted to sell his peach basket business. DeMott bought the peach basket making equipment and installed it in his Wagon Works Mill in Green Village. DeMott hired Frank Anderson from Hunterdon County to manufacture the baskets. The peach basket business was a welcome addition to the mill. The baskets were made out of wood from trees that were referred to as off woods. Off woods was a term that DeMott used to refer to trees that he did not use for his usual orders. Off wood trees that were used for peach baskets were trees such as Poplar trees, sweet gum trees and birch trees. DeMott built the Peach Basket Factory (c.1917) for his growing business. Silas and Wilbur Hinds in an oral history given to the Chatham Township Historical Society tell how they worked in the peach basket factory as children. The Hinds described how lumber was prepared to make the peach baskets. The process involved the cutting of logs into four-foot lengths, which were steamed. The logs would then be fed into a machine that would slice them into long thin sheets. The sheets would then be fed into another machine that would cut them into staves. The Hinds recalled sorting the staves into bundles of 100 and taking the staves upstairs to the assembly room where the baskets were assembled by hand. DeMott had Notty Southern Pine shipped up from the South in boxcars for the bottoms of

the baskets. Another employee of the Peach Basket Factory, William Schick told The Madison Eagle how the workers formed the baskets: “A form was used to make peach baskets consisting of a hoop, then the staves, then a bottom hoop and finally the outside hoop.” William DeMott. Jr. in a letter to Mrs. Hand of Harding Township states that 25 men worked in the basket factory and were paid 60 cents per 100 hundred baskets. A good worker could produce 300 to 400 baskets per day. The baskets were stacked in bundles of 25, which were loaded into rigging about 14 feet long and 6 feet high. These rigs were then laid down horizontally on a wagon so there were 3000 per load. The factory used 20 teams of horses per day making two trips each day to the Madison Train Station. There was a demand for peach baskets according to De Mott, Jr. from New England to Georgia. In 1926, William DeMott sold his Peach Basket Factory to N. Howell Mitchell of Whippany, N.J. DeMott purchased a home in Bradentown, Florida (now Bradenton, Florida). He spent his winters there and the rest of the time in Green Village. At the time of his death in Florida he was also running a large celery farm that he had bought in Florida. William DeMott was a self-made man who ran a large business successfully. The community around him was a better place because of his character, determination and business sense. William DeMott donated the land where the Green Village Fire Department now stands. DeMott was on the Board of Directors of the Methodist Church in Green Village. He and his wife had four children: William F., Benyew Harrison, Rebecca and Hazel. Their son Benyew Harrison was a pitcher for the Major League baseball team, The Cleveland Naps. The Cleveland Naps became the Cleveland Indians in 1914. William F. DeMott died in March of 1928 in Florida. The Peach Basket Factory and lumber mill burned down in September of 1928. On the Green Village Green in Green Village, N.J., the Chatham Township Historical Society has a marker commemorating this industrious community. November 2018 | 11

Fred is a 55 pound lap dog. You got a lap and he’ll be your best friend! He’s a bit of an older gentleman and is as mellow and loving as dogs come. He’s the favorite of our youth volunteers - they sit on a bench and Fred walks right into their laps! He would be a wonderful addition to your family.
Sparkette and Shorty are an adorable brother and sister duo. They are both under 30 pounds and 6 years old and absolute delights – friendly to any and all who they meet. Why settle for one dog when you can have this dynamic pair!
Nobby is a mellow, easy-going fellow. He is currently the cat we introduce to youth groups that visit St. Hubert’s because he is so friendly and adjusts well to any situation. If you’re looking for a loving lap cat, then Nobby may be for you!
Alice is a lovely lab mix who would make a great companion. Our volunteers love walking her because of her great personality – fun and active and very engaging.
Luna is one of St. Hubert’s longer-term residents. She is a beautiful cat who resides in a room with seven other cats and she’s a little shy so she’s been overlooked. She has a very sweet nature to her and she has claimed the sink in our cat tower room. She can always be found sitting in the sink and observing the room which our staff and volunteers think is the cutest thing! 16 | Chatham Living
Brinkley is a regal chap who is also a longer-term St. Hubert’s resident and he is beloved by volunteers and staff. He is a very friendly guy who is also good with other cats and would love to find himself in a loving home very soon.
