Nationwide, gas prices were predicted to be lower this summer compared to the last three years, but that won't translate into savings at the pump this Memorial Day weekend, experts said. "Motorists this year are facing rising gas prices heading into the Memorial Day holiday," said Michael Green, a AAA spokesman, adding that Memorial Day 2013 would probably be the most expensive since 2011. In past years, prices have declined heading into early summer as oil refineries produced more gasoline to meet expected summer driving demand. This year, though, Midwest refineries haven't …

Monday, May 27, is the time to honor our patriots and welcome the summer.
Memorial Day is a time to commemorate those who have fallen in service to the United States. The official celebration of these heroes began in the 1860s after the Civil War, when wreaths were laid on the graves of both Union and Confederate soldiers. The practice was fully recognized throughout the existing states by 1890. So, what is the best way to honor the holiday? For those who prefer something traditional to honor the fallen, place wreaths or flowers at war memorials or grave sites. Brookfield residents can purchase wreaths or flowers at Gregory and Company Galleria Florist, Forget-Me-Knot Flowers and Gifts, Grasch Foods, Pick'n Save, Mayflowers Florist, A New Leaf Floral, Some Kinda Wonderful Floral & Decor, Metro Market, Stein …

Who’s NOT planning a barbeque 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 great ideas to help you save money on your next outdoor party. 1. Start with a marinade. This means planning ahead -- say, Friday. But it’s worth it, says Rick Browne, host of "Barbeque America" on PBS, because you can pass up that well-marbled ribeye steak and buy a less tender and less expensive choice to grill like a flank steak or chuck steak. 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 …

The Smoky Hollow Muzzle Loaders, 1812 Daughters, relatives of Revolutionary War veteran Nathan Hatch and Boy Scout Troop 71 joined the Behing-Kutchera American Legion Post 296 for a ceremony.
Hosted by Behling-Kutchera American Legion Post 296, a Memorial Day ceremony was held Monday morning at Oak Hill Cemetery in Brookfield. The Smoky Hollow Muzzle Loaders, donned in period clothing, were there, as were the 1812 Daughters, marking the 200th anniversary of the War of 1812. Cemetery neighbor Doris Moore laid a wreath at the grave of Revolutionary War veteran Nathan Hatch. Her late husband Amory Moore voluntarily cared for the cemetery grounds and ensured all soldiers buried there had proper markers. Local historian Stephen Hauser spoke and John Rosenberg played Taps on his bugle.

Two great-great-great-grandsons of Revolutionary War veteran Nathan Hatch came to Brookfield for a ceremony designating a segment of the Greenway Corridor as 'Nathan Hatch Trail.'
As the country remembers and honors fallen veterans this Memorial Day weekend, one special veteran — a soldier in the Revolutionary War and War of 1812 — was honored Saturday at his gravesite in Brookfield. Clark Hatch flew from Hawaii to be among those paying respects to his great-great-great-grandfather Nathan Hatch, a private in the Continential Army serving under President George Washington. "It is unique and special to have a Revolutionary War veteran buried among us this far to the west," local historian Stephen Hauser told those gathered at Oak Hill Cemetery, on the east side of Brookfield Road just north of Brookfield Academy. Yet many area residents are unaware that history lies in their midst, he said. When Hauser speaks to local…
