It's no secret that Chevy's LS engines are good breathers, so when you force-feed one with a few pounds of boost, its output sprouts like Godzilla's vegetable garden. Stock, production-vehicle engines are generally capable of handling the boost delivered by basic bolt-on blower kits – anywhere from 5 to 8 pounds, which typically adds about 100 to 120 rear-wheel horsepower.
That ain't bad, but when you're planning to go after bigger dyno numbers with a high-boost charge, a stronger bottom end is called for because the factory parts simply weren't designed for that type of performance. In this three-part series, we're going after big numbers to help our new 1978 Malibu wagon project car "Fugly" get down the quarter-mile in the 9-second range. So thus begins the build of our 1,000+ horsepower, Whipple supercharged behemoth Chevy Performance LSX376-B15. By the way, you can check out the second installment by clicking here, and the third installment by clicking here.
Sure, a Dominator-topped, nitrous-slurping big-block would do the trick, but it's been done. We're looking for a challenge and a supercharged LS is the most contemporary way to build big power. And besides, the greater weight balance with an LS power plant – even with an iron block and all the accouterments of the supercharger – will be a valuable advantage for the nose-heavy Chevy.
We're going to show you nearly every nut and bolt involved in this project in words, photos and video, starting here with the assembly of one of Chevrolet Performance's boost-ready LSX376B-series crate engines, which will be foundation for our build-up. After this, we'll show how the engine responds with a large-displacement supercharger, sneaking up on our power goal with moderate boost and the crate engine's stock valvetrain. Then, we'll got nuts with higher boost, a Crane Cams solid-roller camshaft and complementing valvetrain, and maybe some other hardcore parts. We're looking for 1,000+ horsepower and plan to rely on Holley's new Dominator EFI system to conduct the air/fuel symphony.
After the dust settles in the dyno room, we'll drop the engine in our Malibu and go get our 9-second time slip. But first things first…
Inside the LSX376B Crate Engines
Chevrolet Performance developed the boost-capable LSX376B-series engines a couple of years ago with the express purpose of offering economical long block-style assemblies that are ready to accept the supercharger or turbo system of the builder's choice. There are two versions – the lower-boost LSX376-B8 (part number 19260831) and higher-boost LSX376-B15 (part number 19299306).
With the LSX376 'B' engines, we've created affordable foundations for supercharged or turbocharged power that fit just about every budget. – Dr. Jamie Meyer
Perhaps just as importantly, the engines use LSX-LS3 cylinder heads, which are based on the high-flow, rectangular-port design of the production LS3 engine, but with a six-bolt head bolt design matched with the LSX block's six-bolt provisions. It significantly enhances clamping strength for the heads, providing – along with standard multi-layer steel head gaskets – exceptional cylinder sealing under high boost pressure. That's just what our project engine will see when we get our greasy mitts on the crate engine.
"Chevrolet Performance engineers developed the LSX Bowtie block and LSX cylinder heads specifically for the rigors of extreme performance," says Dr. Jamie Meyer, Performance Marketing Manager for Chevrolet Performance. "With the LSX376 'B' engines, we've created affordable foundations for supercharged or turbocharged power that fit just about every budget. Of course, the blower, fuel system and other necessary components are up to the customer, but with their durable forged components, six-bolt head clamping and lower compression, these engines deliver a lot of boost for the buck."
The heads also offer tremendous airflow attributes, too, which is just what we want for an engine that will have plenty of air crammed through it. They have rectangular ports similar in design to the LS7 design, with large, 260cc intake ports. The LSX six-bolt castings also feature a little more meat on the bone in strategic areas to support additional port work. We don't know if we'll hog 'em out further, but it's good to know the heads can handle it.
We're also told these crate engines use the latest version of the LSX block, which was revamped recently to improve strength and durability, particularly under boost. That's an assuring thing to keep in mind as we head for four-digit horsepower territory on the dyno.
Building For Boost

- Cylinder Heads: Aluminum LS3 Rectangular style ports, Combustion Chamber: 68cc
Computer-controlled and calibrated torque wrenches ensure consistency with every engine, too, but they don't replace the eyes and experience of specially trained builders who guide each engine from start to finish. There are only four stations involved with each engine's assembly, with a single builder at each one responsible for specific tasks. In the first station, the rotating assembly and engine block are inspected, measured and prepped for assembly. At the second station, the bottom end of the engine is installed and at the third stage, the heads and other top-end parts are added. The final station is an inspection stop, where each engine subjected to a roster of checks, including leaks, compression and oil pressure.
Unlike some other Chevrolet Performance crate engines, the LSX376B-series engines do not come with an intake system or oil pan, which helps keeps the cost down and creates less waste – after all, who needs a production-style intake manifold if you're going to drop on a 4.0-liter Whipple twin-screw compressor? And with LS engines being thrown into so many different cars these days, what good is a production oil pan that's just going to be removed or sliced up anyway? We'll definitely need a custom pan for our Malibu. Custom headers, too – but more on all that in our next installments of this high-boost project.
Until then, check out the photos we took inside the assembly facility and learn more about what goes into these specialized crate engines. We'll definitely be putting out LSX376B15 to the test soon!

PUNE: It appears to be impossible that the six-laning work of the 140-km stretch of the Pune-Satara expressway will be finished before the current year's over. The organization which has been appointed the work had as of now got a two-year extension.
The National Highways Authority of India (NHAI) had executed an agreement with PS Toll Road Pvt Ltd in March 2010 for the six-laning work, which should be finished by March 2013. The organization had then faulted the NHAI saying that the authority had neglected to satisfy its reciprocal commitments.
NHAI authorities now say that the vast majority of the issues, for example, land securing, permission for cutting of trees, and subsidizing have been dealt with, with some "positive advancements" lately. They included that the NHAI will make a move if the organization neglects to finish the work inside the stipulated time.
At an audit meeting held in February between senior authorities of the NHAI and the organization and additionally autonomous architects, it was called attention to that the advancement is not according to the arranging system put together by the organization in August 2014, and that there is a critical requirement for a correction of the project to guarantee that venture is finished by December 31. NHAI authorities said that week after week audit gatherings are being directed with organization agents. The organization has as of now been requested that present an overhauled arranging system.
An email sent by this reporting looking for insights with respect to the advancement of work and absence of street wellbeing measures from the organization went unanswered. Notwithstanding, an advancement report of the works set up by the organization in January not long from now says "undertaking concerns and obstructions issues". It says that because of pending area pay issues amid the four-laning work, regardless of issuance of ownership receipts, local people did not permit beginning of work in the influenced 8-km stretch of the parkway. The organization likewise said that vital backing from the state government is obliged to assist woods freedom in Pune and Satara areas.
Metro lobbyist Vivek Velankar, who has been raising the issues of absence of street wellbeing measures and the deferral in six laning works, said there ought to be some sacredness in the agreement between the NHAI and the organization. "The organization is putting the fault on the NHAI for the postponement, while the NHAI has been faulting the organization. Nobody comprehends what the real circumstance is. The NHAI ought to have demanded that the work be finished on time," Velankar said.
From April 1, the organization insignificantly expanded the toll charge at two posts — Khed Shivapur and Anewadi. Early a year ago, Velankar had said that suburbanites ought not need to pay toll on account of the postponement in six laning works. "No MP or MLA has brought the issue up in the most recent three years. The organization will get another augmentation and it is the individuals who will need to endure," Velankar include

What The Research Says About Eating After Strength Training
By Cassandra Forsythe, PhD, RD, CSCS
Whether you're a competitive athlete or committed exerciser, at some point you've probably experienced excessive fatigue and muscle soreness following your workout. Sometimes this tiredness can hold you back from working out as hard as you'd like for many days. In order to reduce this feeling of delayed recovery and allow your body to get back into the game sooner than later, you need to appreciate the importance of proper exercise nutrition.
Research scientists have shown that proper nutrition supplementation is critical for recovery from intense weight-training and endurance exercise. Most recently, the evidence points to a specific combination of carbohydrates and protein as being the most effective for restoring muscle glycogen (the fuel you use while exercising), repairing muscle damage, preventing muscle breakdown, and promoting muscle growth. All of these factors are important for your timely return to your workout plan.
Post-workout nutrition & muscle glycogen
The nutrients you ingest immediately following your workout can have a significant impact on how you recover. When you exercise intensely, one of the fuel sources you use is glycogen, which is stores of carbohydrate found within your muscle. This fuel source must be replenished quickly to allow you to workout hard again soon after your initial training session.
It's easy to understand that one of the most important nutrients you need to take in for this purpose is dietary carbohydrate. However, protein is also important because it works synergistically with carbohydrate to promote very fast muscle glycogen replenishment without having to take in excessive amounts of carbohydrate at one time.
The amount of carbohydrate and protein found to be most effective for endurance and resistance exercise ranges between 1.0 and 1.5 g carbs/kg body weight, and 0.4 to 0.6 g protein/kg body weight. Endurance exercise depletes more carbohydrate from the muscle than resistance exercise, so weight-trainees can consume less carbs in their supplements. Ideally a liquid carb-protein supplement should be consumed to maximize glycogen replenishment.
Pre-workout nutrition & muscle damage
Another aspect of intense exercise is muscle damage that results from mechanical stress to your muscle fibers and catabolic hormones released in response to exercise. Without proper exercise nutrition, your muscles remain in a state of breakdown for many hours. Additionally, muscle glycogen replenishment is reduced when muscle fibers are damaged. Researchers have shown that consuming a combination of carbohydrate and protein before and after a workout can significantly reduce muscle damage and soreness. Consuming carbohydrate and protein prior to your exercise session can prevent some of the muscle damage that happens during exercise and in the hours following.
Optimal protein synthesis
Most weight-training athletes strive to optimize muscle growth to obtain more lean muscle mass and reduce body fat. However, endurance athletes also experience protein synthesis, but rather than skeletal protein, they induce more mitochondrial protein growth. Either way, optimizing this exercise response requires an ideal balance of protein and carbohydrates taken before and after a workout. Providing amino acids, especially essential amino acid which include the branch chain aminos (BCAAs), right before your workout seems to more effective than taking them only afterwards.
Around 5-6 grams of essential amino acids from whey protein is shown to be most ideal, which can be achieved with about a 20-30 gram serving of protein from Jaylab Pro Protein. Carbohydrates are also beneficial and providing them in a ~2:1 ratio with protein is shown to be best for optimizing your recovery from exercise and stimulating protein synthesis while preventing protein breakdown after exercise.
Active Recovery
Jaylab Pro's Active Recovery drink is formulated to take the guess-workout out of your exercise nutrition plan. It contains the right ratio of carbohydrates to protein, with essential amino acids and additional vitamins and minerals to ensure your nutrition is complete. The quick absorbing carbohydrates from dextrose and maltodextrin combined with the complete protein from whey and milk protein isolate will have you feeling great in no time. Simply consume 1-2 servings after your workout will help improve your recovery and allow you to exercise hard the next time you train instead of feeling sore, tired and unmotivated. You only get the best from Jaylab Pro, so trust it for all your nutritional needs.

WHITING/SUDBURY — With a new principal on board and a district vote tentatively scheduled for December, school directors in Sudbury and Whiting this week will kick off a series of monthly public meetings to iron out the merger of the two elementary schools.
The monthly meetings will convene alternately at each town's school, with the first scheduled for Monday, April 2, at 6 p.m. in Whiting. Monday's meeting will focus on governance, and later meetings will focus on transportation, financing, staffing and facilities.
"What do you do with a building?" Sudbury School Board Chair Steve Roberts asked. "Who owns the building? Does it stay with the towns or not? Or what if Sudbury already spent a lot of money on their sewer system and then Whiting needs a $50,000 system? Would we pay for those kinds of things?"
Both schools have suffered drastically declining enrollment over the past few years, with Whiting currently serving 35 students (including preschool) and Sudbury 24 students. If the towns vote in favor of the merger, the schools plan to consolidate operations in the fall of 2008, keeping both school buildings open, but limiting Whiting to preschool through second grade and Sudbury to third through sixth grade.
"When you have only 20-some kids in a school, they don't really have an opportunity to socialize or learn from each other," Roberts said. "That's not the only reason we're doing this, but it's one of the benefits of getting together with (Whiting).
"It's also more efficient in terms of staff," he said. "When you're paying someone $75,000 and $80,000 and they're only teaching a few students … We didn't think we would be able to look taxpayers in the eye and ask for that."
Together, the schools earlier this winter hired Mike O'Neil to be principal, sharing his time betweenthe Sudbury and Whiting schools. For the last five years, O'Neil, who will begin a three-year contract in Sudbury and Whiting in August, has served as principal for an elementary school that serves two towns in Dutchess County, N.Y. For 28 years before that, he worked at a school near Glens Falls, N.Y. His experience in a joint school district made him the perfect candidate for the Sudbury-Whiting job, local school officials said.
"What they had (at the Dutchess County school) was a very similar situation to the situation in Whiting and Sudbury," he said. The two rural towns in Webutuck School District were 10 miles apart and both suffered from low enrollment. These schools decided to move into one building, closing the other, and they didn't do much preparing beforehand, O'Neil said.
"I came in just after they did the last move," O'Neil said. "There were still a lot of unhappy people. They didn't like how hurried it was. Furniture wasn't where it should be. Library books were out of order."
But after about a year, the school started to iron itself out, and now it is thriving, he said.
"I told the Whiting and Sudbury people, 'You folks are doing it the right way. You're doing it all a year in advance. You're giving the town's folks a chance to ask their questions and you're laying a very solid foundation,'" he said.
Despite the optimism in Whiting in Sudbury, two Addison County towns that have jointly operated an elementary school have not been very successful. Voters at town meetings in Hancock and Granville last month rejected the Hancock-Granville Village School's proposed budget, which would have raised taxes on some by as much as 30 percent. As a result it is expected that the school will close at the end of the school year and students will be tuitioned to schools in neighboring towns.
But this hasn't shaken the confidence of the Whiting and Sudbury schools.
"We're really kind of in tune with each other," Roberts said. "I think we're creative enough to get around problems."
Tracy Simonds, who served on the Whiting School Board last year and has three children at the Whiting Village School, is sure that with O'Neil's guidance, the merger will unfold smoothly.
"The main issues have already been figured out," she said. "We know which schools should hold which grades, we have a joint principal on board, the majority of the people in town are supportive. What's left are basically minor details."
Whiting Village School Principal Sue Kellogg, who will retire at the end of this year, has mixed feelings about the merger.
"Personally I'm a little torn, because I've been here 30 years," she said. "I don't see it saving a lot of money," — the joint school will only scale back one full-time teacher — "but the benefits, educationally, are going to be very nice."
Kellogg noted that the schools, both in the Rutland Northeast Supervisory Union, recently began a new district-wide math program called Bridges, which she'd love to see implemented to its fullest potential.
"What we've seen of it so far is that it's a really great program," she said. But it is geared towards a "normal" class size of about 20 students, something quite foreign to both Whiting and Sudbury schools.

Specialism intro.
It is widely assumed that everyone is 'interdisciplinary' nowadays, that we all work at the intersections of conventional disciplines.
But if being flexible, multi-skilled and polymathic are the prerequisites of survival in today's world, why do educators and art marketeers still find it imperative to maintain conditions of production that advocate specialist outcomes?
The aim of this new anthology is to critically reflect upon the role of specialism in art and society and to understand how the claim of those who seek to transcend the parameters of specialisation contrasts to that of others who maintain that deep levels of achievement can only be attained within highly focused methods and forms.

Here is a short extract of my text....
I remember the parlour. We only were allowed to enter when there was a death, celebration, or when the insurance man visited.
It was full of important things, like souvenirs of distant travel, and brass candlesticks, framed family photographs of rites of passage, a miner's lamp my dad had made to pass his apprenticeship, everlasting flowers and decorative alcohol on a shiny tray. A transparent plastic runway protected routes across the carpet.
My grandmother had painted the alcove cupboards with wild amber patterning that cavorted over the panel doors. They were hallucinogenic, a hyper-real simulation and sort of wood-like. I loved those doors.
She was proud of her wood-graining paint skill. She showed me her tools: a fragment of a fine-toothed nylon hair comb, a beer bottle cork, a ragged home-made cartoon-toothed comb scissored from something plastic, a wide brush and a rag. In one of many demonstrations, a dry off-white ground was covered by a translucent amber topcoat, and this combed through with a wobbly hand in a performance of an imagined wood figure; thick and thin. The dabbed cork added an approximation of the whorls, eddies and knots typical of heartwood in plain-sawn timber. The rag added smudges, the brush softness.
Several houses in the village contained her handiwork. I could recognise her contributions because all the wood patterning looked the same, more or less.
I'm not sure where she learnt her skills. How did she learn them? While low on the grey-scale of paint effect specialists, my grandmother was, like all enthusiasts, enamoured with her specialism. She loved explaining the process to family and friends, loved painting things with her wood effect, loved refining her tools and swapping tips with others. Although now, now I remember that it was my grandfather who decorated all the rooms that needed decorating, with wallpaper, brushes, paste, rollers, paint and the Formica topped kitchen table.
My Grandmother just did the wood graining. Specialists, specialists of all kinds, with all kinds of competences learn, nurture and exchange their specialisms. It's how we produce the world. [..]

Best time to go to Ouranoupolis
You're all but guaranteed good weather in Greece in the summer. Temperatures are usually in the 30s, plus you can expect about 12 hours of sunshine a day. And as for rain, you'll hardly see a drop in July and August. If you prefer things a bit cooler, spring and autumn see plenty of sun, but temperatures are a bit more comfortable, in the mid-20s. These shoulder months are a great time to visit if you're into walking or sightseeing, as it's not too hot, even in the peak of the day. You might experience some rain showers from time to time, too.

With the right strategy, a marketer can easily enjoy the amazing benefits of content marketing. Some of these benefits are more traffic, a better reputation, and continuous growth in both traffic and reputation in the long run with only a little increase in the budget. With entrepreneurship, costing and keeping the marketing budget within the limit is really important.
Though content-marketing is very popular due to its cost-efficiency, it is not free nor cheap. Investing heavily in an internal employee or respectable external firms is necessary to produce excellent work and execute a high-quality strategy. And always keep in mind that in marketing, an effective brand design is necessary too so keep your audience hooked.
Fortunately, a marketer can still cut costs without having to sacrifice the campaign quality with the help of some money-saving tricks. Below are the strategies found to be incredibly useful by many marketers.
1. Reusing old content.
For some, this is not a good idea. But honestly, it will only be bad if the old content is reused in the wrong way. If for example, a marketer has a successful 'evergreen topic' blog post which he posted two years ago. Since the content of this blog stays fresh and can attract lots of traffic, it wouldn't hurt if he will revisit and re-post such article.
Evidently, reposting the same article say every month will not give him new results. His possible option is waiting for a year or two before reposting, he could even get away with a full republication.
If in case he decides to repost a blog of his with an evergreen content but without waiting for it to turn one-year-old, he can do so by changing the headline, reorganizing the internal sections, or editing the body content to give the article a new "look." He just needs to ensure that the URL where it was initially published is the same or else, he might lose the SEO equity that the article has already built up.
2. Re-envisioning content in new mediums
A marketer can convert his successful article to different mediums such as infographics or video highlights. He can also use certain snippets of his article and share it on social media as a tweet or a Facebook post. Reimagining new ways to republish an old but effective blog will definitely help in cutting content-marketing costs.
3. Don't stop at content publication, move forward with content promotion.
Content marketing starts with idea brainstorming and content creation, editing, and publication. But successful marketers do not stop and think that their job is done after publishing their articles, they go beyond that and promote their content.
Eric Siu, an Entrepreneur contributor and Single Grain CEO, mentioned that a marketer should spend 20% of his time in creating content and 80% on promoting content. One can start by showcasing his work across his social media channels and move along by sending paid ads to it, conducting influencer marketing, submitting it to StumbleUpon or Reddit, and building internal links to it

Waiting for summer is always bittersweet. Here in Colorado, a late-May snowstorm was quickly followed by 90°+ heat and before we knew it, the kids were out of school! And here we are, just days away from the beginning of July, figuring out how to best spend those precious days and weekends of warm weather. At New Planet Beer, we love the outdoors, and in that spirit, we've compiled a list of outdoor themed activities for you and yours to tackle in the last few months of summer.
Everyone has a different definition of camping. To some hardcore enthusiasts, it isn't "camping" unless you're backpacking 10+ miles into the wilderness with nothing but dried beans and a water filter for survival. If that's your MO: good for you! We'd just encourage you to pack in an extra 12 ounces of our mountain-ready Seclusion IPA to keep you company and reward you once you set up camp!
For others, it isn't camping unless it is "glamping." That's right: the combination of glamour and camping. Why leave behind the comforts of showers and running water if you don't have to? For those of you who prefer the RV, bring the whole family with you to our amazing National and State Parks. These gems are perfect for families to explore the best of what mother nature has to offer.
Lastly, you may be an inbetweener, and you don't mind sleeping on the ground in your tent, but you don't want to hike for miles and miles to get there. Many weekend warriors are more than happy to car camp: break out the tent, sleeping bag, and lantern, and just sit by a campfire telling stories with friends as you listen to the nearby water and look up at the cloudless, star filled night.
Another summertime favorite, fishing is a great way to while away the summertime hours. Bait fishing or fly fishing? People swear by both, so we're not going to choose sides here! Whatever your passion, grab your rod and reel or pole and tackle box and hit the rivers and lakes near your home.
If you've got kids, fishing is a great way to teach them about local ecosystems, aquatic animal life, and (if you dare!) the peace and quiet that comes with being silent trying not to "scare the fish." (Author's note: I'm a lot older now, and I still don't know if noises actually do scare fish away or if I just talked too much as a kid and it was a trick my dad invented to get some silence out of me…)
Water Parks
Getting away for a night or two or even a long day to fish or camp isn't always feasible for everyone, so on those hot days, find a local swimming pool or water park. With waterslides and rides, kids of all ages can cool down and have a ball splashing through the parks. Before you go, call ahead and ask if they have group discounts or see if local grocery stores offer any coupons for the parks. You'd be surprised how many offer deals to families in the summer time. Most places also let you bring in food for snacks and lunches, but be sure to leave those glass bottles at home!
Craft Brew Festivals
It wouldn't be summer (at least in our minds) without one or two craft beer festivals! Summertime offers an endless array of brew fests, both large and small. We've seen advertisements for Belgian Beer Fests, festivals for breweries 5 years old or younger, local neighborhood fests, the list goes on.
Why do we love them so much? It combines two of our favorite things: beer and being outside in the sunshine. There is something really fun and unique about walking around from tent to tent with a small tasting glass and shooting the breeze with brewers and festival attendees. Friendships are made, people have smiles on their faces, and the beers are flowing! So hitch a ride and find a beer fest that interests you this summer!
No matter what you decide to do with your summertime hours, we hope that you enjoy the most of it with the people you love and with a cold beer in hand. And if you do find yourself in the Great Outdoors this summer, don't forget New Planet Beer's insanely portable six-packs of Seclusion IPA and Tread Lightly Ale!

Fr. Anastasios Constantine Blougouras - Greek Orthodox Retired Clergy Association
The Very Reverend Archimandrite Anastasios Constantine Blougouras (Fr. Ernest)was born May 1, 1932 in Dover New Hampshire,the youngest of seven children of Constantine and Theamando Blougouras.His father was from the town of Menia, in Messinia, Greece and married Theamando Politis who was from the Messina village of Methoni. They married in Greece and immigrated to the United States in 1911, settling in Dover where Mr. Blougouras was a construction worker. Fr. Ernest is one of seven children. His parents and siblings are deceased. Father Ernest had many nieces and nephews, and they and their children complement the family that Constantine and Theamando started here in America.
Father Ernest graduated from Dover High School in 1950. He played the French horn in the high school band, served as a delegate to Boys' State was on student council, the cross-country team, and was a member of the debate team and National Honor Society. He was active in the Annunciation Greek Orthodox Church in Dover. He received his calling to be a priest while still in high school and was encouraged in this by two priests who served the Dover parish, Fr. Nicholas Hatzivasiliou and Fr. Parakevas Theophrastou.
Determined to devote his life to the service of the Holy Orthodox Church, Ernest Blougouras entered the Holy Cross School of Theology in Brookline, Massachusetts in the autumn of 1950 and graduated with the class of 1956. After attaining a Bachelor of Theology degree, he received a scholarship to the University of Athens, graduating three years later with a Master of Sacred Theology" While in Athens he lived at the theological Center of the Church of Greece and had the opportunity to travel throughout the lands and cities where Orthodox Christianity was nurtured. His travels included Mt. Athos, Antioch, Jerusalem', Alexandria, Mt. Sinai, Beirut, Cairo, and Constantinople, where he received the blessing of His All Holiness Patriarch Anthenagoras.
Returning to the United States, he was ordained on November 19, 1959 to the Diaconate at Holy Cross Theological Chapel in Brookline, Massachusetts and to the Holy Priesthood on November 29, 1959 by Bishop Athenegoras of Boston (later Archbishop of London). The ordination was at the church of the Dormition of the Virgin Mary in Somerville, Massachusetts.
Two days after his ordination, Father Ernest was assigned as the first fulltime priest of the newly established church of St. Demetrios in Newton Lower Falls, Massachusetts. After two years, he became pastor of the Holy Trinity Church in Grand Island, Nebraska. This was a considerable change from a compact parish in the populous east to a far-flung prairie community.
In the fall of 1963 he was transferred to the Assumption Church in Flint, Michigan to help complete the building of a new sanctuary. Fr. Constantine Mersinas, the current pastor of St. Katherine Greek orthodox Church in Naples Florida, served as Fr. Ernest's altar boy during that time.
On September 15, 1967, Fr. Ernest was assigned to the Annunciation Cathedral in Detroit at a difficult time in its history. The old church buildings on Macomb Street had been taken by the city, the new cathedral was literally a hole in the ground where a foundation was being prepared, and the parish was financially insolvent. It was a bleak beginning, but with hope, courage, prayer, and hard work, and above all, the Grace of God, the community survived and the cathedral completed. Fr. Ernest spent twenty-one years as their cathedral dean and was elevated to the ecclesiastical high rank of archimandrite in 1980 by Bishop Timothy of Detroit.
On August 17,1988 Fr. Ernest was assigned to the Cathedral of St. John the Theologian in Tenafly, New Jersey. His talents of building churches and helping communities through their precarious times would not go to waste. He put his skills as a parish priest to work yet again in providing the leadership for the construction of a new cultural center and classroom building. Fr. Ernest spent ten years leading the faithful of St. John Cathedral where he retired from full-time service on November 29, 1999.
Father Ernest has earned much respect wherever he has gone and his honors have reflected favorably on his parishes and on the Greek Orthodox Church in general He was always active in leadership roles in various presbyter councils of Orthodox and interfaith, at the local, regional and national levels.
Fr. Ernest has been a leader of innumerable community, ecumenical, and church-based initiatives and committees. A few of these include:
- 1960-1961: Orthodox Chaplain for the Orthodox Christian Fellowship at Suffolk University, Boston Massachusetts
- 1966: Vice-President, Legal Aid Society, Flint, Michigan
- 1970-1985: Orthodox Chaplain for the Orthodox Christian Fellowship at Wayne State University, Detroit, Michigan
- 1984-1986: President of Greek Orthodox Clergy Association of Diocese of Detroit
- 1986: President of the Christian Communication Council (ministerial Association) of Wayne County, Michigan and Essex County, Canada (First Greek Orthodox cleric to be elected to that office.
- 1986-1988: President of Archdiocesan Presbyters' Council
- 1986-1988: President of Hellenic CollegelHoly Cross National Alumni Association
- 1986-1988: Member of Board of Trustees of Hellenic College/Holy Cross
- 1986-1988: President Eastern Orthodox Council of Greater Detroit
- 1988-1998: Convener of Spiritual Tribunal for Northern New Jersey, Diocese of New Jersey
Upon retirement, on January 10, 1999, Father Ernest decided to head south to Florida to be near his nephew Charles Carlton and wife Kathleen, and became an active member of the St. Katherine Orthodox community in Naples.
Fr. Ernest was presented the "Metropolitan's Choice" Clergy Award in 2008 by His Eminence Metropolitan Alexios of Atlanta for his "extraordinary, faithful, and unceasing ministry" who continues to distinguish himself"in the advancement of the aims, purposes, and diakonia of the Greek Orthodox Metropolis of Atlanta."
Residing in Bonita Shores, Florida, Fr. Ernest summers in New England (Portsmouth, New Hampshire and Kennebunk, Maine) with his nephews and nieces.
