ounty College of
Morris (CCM) is
hosting a closing
reception to recognize the
end of its special
Spectrum exhibition, fea-
turing the work of 26 facul-
ty and staff artists from the
Department of Visual Arts.
The reception, which is
free and open to the public,
will take place on Thursday,
September 18, from 6 8
p.m. in the gallery at the
Sherman H. Masten
Learning Resource Center
(LRC) on CCMs Randolph
campus, 214 Center Grove
Road.
Consisting of paintings,
photography, pottery, graph-
ic design, sculptures and
other artistic mediums, the
Spectrum exhibition cele-
brates both the talent of the
CCM community and the
opening of the new and
expanded professional
gallery at the college.
Selected pieces from the
exhibition also are available
for sale.
The exhibit, which
opened in June, runs until
the end of the closing recep-
tion.
Were pleased to pres-
ent the local community
CCM to Hold Closing Reception
for Visual Arts Faculty Exhibition
with this opportunity to see the wide range
of artistic works created by our faculty,
said Clayton Allen, chair of the Visual Arts
department. Its been a while since we
have featured the work of our faculty and I
believe the exhibition offers some valuable
insight into the caliber of teaching that takes
place at CCM.
The last time the Visual Arts faculty dis-
played its work on campus was its
Homecoming exhibition in 2012, follow-
ing a well-received show at the University
of the Arts (Uarts) in Philadelphia. CCM
Visual Arts professors were asked by Uarts
to put on a multiple medium exhibition at its
gallery in recognition of the quality work
produced by CCM students who transfer
there to pursue their artistic education.
The CCM gallery was expanded as part
of the recent renovation of the LRC. Also as
part of that renovation, the colleges library
has been consolidated on the second floor of
the building, a caf featuring views of the
campus was constructed, and more energy-
efficient lighting and HVAC system were
installed.

he Rotary Clubs in our area are plan-
ning their 21st annual walk-a-thon
for community projects of clubs in
Rotary District 7470, The Rotary
Foundation and other worthwhile causes,
and are inviting other charitable and com-
munity programs to join them and share the
profits. "WALKFEST 2014" will be held
on October 5, 2014 at Waterloo Village in
Stanhope. This event traditionally allows
other non-profit groups to join the effort and
keep 50% of the money they raised.
Any legitimate community or charitable
program may participate. Youth programs,
sports teams, religious groups, booster
clubs, and school clubs are some of the
other outside groups that are welcome to
join this effort. Each group simply registers
, enlists pledges for their walkers, enjoys a
two-hour stroll in a lovely park and then
gets a check in the mail for their own pro-
gram. At the same time they are supporting
The Rotary Foundation, which provides
millions of dollars a year in world-wide
humanitarian aid.
This year, "WALKFEST 2014" will also
be benefitting the restoration of Waterloo
Village as well as The Rotary Foundation.

et the Facts. Recognize the Signs.
Each year, approximately 22,240
women will be diagnosed with
ovarian cancer. In 2013, approximately
14,230 women will die in the United States
from ovarian cancer. Many women don't
seek help until the disease has begun to
spread, but if detected at its earliest stage,
the five-year survival rate is more than
93%. The symptoms of ovarian cancer are
often subtle and easily confused with other
ailments.

S
earch engine optimization, or SEO, is
a key component of online marketing.
Although it's widely regarded as vital
to a business' marketing efforts, the concept
of SEO can be confusing. SEO involves tai-
loring a website so that it pops up on search
engine results more readily and at a higher
place in the long list of pages that turn up.
There are databases that list the most com-
mon search terms people use when brows-
ing the Internet. Web pages that are built
around the words and phrases commonly
used, not just in the meta keywords tag of
the site, but within the important parts of the
pages themselves, can achieve a better rank-
ing. Additionally, websites that are linked to
by other sites generate higher rankings in
terms of importance and where search
engines place them in search lists. If SEO
remains a mystery, businesses can employ
marketing firms and businesses that special-
ize in SEO to make recommendations on
redesigning a website to generate more con-
sumertraffic.

f you think that regular eyeglasses
or sunglasses will offer the protec-
tion your eyes need when you play
sports, you are mistaken. Impact tests
show many of the most commonly
used lens materials shatter at levels
below those set by government safety
standards. For example, allyl resin (a
popular lens material more commonly
known as plastic) shatters when hit by
a tennis ball at 55 miles per hour. It is
not uncommon for the average player
to hit a ball at 70 mph. Polycarbonate
is a lens material which resists shatter-
ing even when hit by a baseball at over
100 mph and has proven that it can
stand up to the abuse likely to be en-
countered by the typical weekend ath-
lete. Sport goggles, such as Rec Specs,
use polycarbonate lenses and high im-
pact nylon frames which meet or ex-
ceed government safety standards, of-
fering the most protection during sports
and outdoor activities.

T
wo local sisters who lost their father
to lung cancer two years ago are
stepping up awareness of the silent
killer by chairing and walking in the fifth
annual Northern New Jersey Free to
Breathe Walk later this month.
The event is set for Sunday, Sept. 21, at
Horseshoe Lake in Succasunna, with regis-
tration at 10 a.m., rally at 11 a.m. and the
5K walk beginning at 11:30 a.m. The walk
is being hosted by Free to Breathe, a nation-
al non-profit organization founded in 2001
to support lung cancer survival through
research, fundraising and public awareness.
Keri Rutkowski, 32, of Morris Plains,
and Kellie Smith, 35, of Morristown have
so far raised about $23,000 since getting
involved in Free To Breathe in 2011, after
their father was diagnosed with lung cancer.
Their goal for this years walk is to reach
$25,000, and to continue to raise awareness
of the disease; reduce the stigma that lung
cancer is a smokers disease; and encourage
others to get involved in the organization.
I couldnt save my dads life but we are
trying to save other peoples lives, says
Rutkowski. My dad did not have an easy
way out. The pain level he had to endure, no
one deserves that.
Their father, Mike Smith, of Morris
Plains was diagnosed with Stage 4 lung can-
cer in Feb. 2011 after worsening back pain
led to blood tests and a cat-scan. Rutkowski
recalls him complaining of back pain as
early as Dec. 2010, the same time the bliz-
zards came, she says. We figured he was
getting older. He was the type of guy who
shoveled everyones driveways.
But when the back pain got progres-
sively worse, Mike Smith went for addi-
tional tests which first showed an infection
in the lower back and then a weekend trip to
the emergency room for a biopsy of the
infection. After a cat-scan and bone scan,
they learned on Wednesday, that it was
Stage 4 Lung Cancer- Skima Cell
Carcinoma, with a tumor on his left lung
that had spread around his windpipe and
down parts of his spine.
After radiation treatments to shrink the
tumors on his spine, followed by
chemotherapy, Mike Smith- who was a
retired supervisor of a local water company,
volunteer firefighter and president of the
Mt. Kemble Fire Co.- fought the cancer for
14 months. He died on May 4, 2012 at the
age of 61, leaving behind his wife Peggy
Smith of Morris Twp.; son Matt Smith of
Manville; and two daughters-Keri and
Kellie.
While blindsided with the sudden
Step Up To Lung Cancer Awareness In Upcoming Walk
news when he was diagnosed, Rutkowski
and her family tried to stay positive
throughout the battle of fighting the disease
and she says this attitude helped in the end.
My father and I and all of us are very
positive people, says Rutkowski. We said
these are just statistics but we are going to
kick its butt. He fought for 14 months. I
really think the positive outlook helped
him.
As part of their positive mindset, Kellie
Smith found the local cancer walk- Free to
Breathe in 2011 for spirits and cheering
him on, and organized a team of about 30
walkers to participate. That was the only
year their father attended the walk, but the
ladies have been advocates ever since as
committee members last year and co-chairs
this year requiring greater involvement,
more planning and sponsorships.
New this year is a Kids Dash that invites
youngsters to complete a 100 yard dash.
In their fourth year participating, the two
sisters had 15 signed up on their team as of
press time, with hopes to have 25.
Deadline to register online is Sept. 17 for
$20; mail-in registration is Sept. 16 for $23;
and on-site registration for $25.
Besides raising money to support the
continued on next page
Free to Breathe Organization, the two sis-
ters have three goals as part of their mission
in fighting the disease.
When looking at statistics, they learned
that lung cancer is the silent killer, with
symptoms that exist but are often ignored as
something of a lesser degree.
Who thought back pain would be stage
four cancer? asks Rutkowski, regarding
her fathers diagnosis. It put a pit in my
stomach. A former smoker, Mike Smith
quit smoking 17 years prior to his diagnosis
because he wanted to live longer, says
Rutkowski.
If people had known what the symp-
toms are, situations if you are not feeling
right, if there was more knowledge or more
tests that could have been done? she ques-
tions. There are tests for prostate cancer or
breast cancer; why is there nothing being
used that is preventative?
One of the symptoms of lung cancer is
common stuff like a cough, but then the
diagnosis is often a cold or allergies. If its
persistent, they really need to get checked.
People call it allergies.
While attending an Action Summit for
Free to Breathe in Sept. 2011, Rutkowski
learned her roommates story of how she
was an advocate for her own health when
she took it upon herself to fight for a cat-
scan and they found she had early stages of
lung cancer. After having a lobectomy, the
woman from Ohio survived. She was an
advocate for her own body; she fought for
what she needed and won.
Rutkowski recalls her dad always had a
little cough ever since she was little. Even
with a regular check-up they said he was
fine. He needed a cat-scan or the blood
results.
Besides encouraging others to become
advocates for their own health, the two sis-
ters would like to reduce the stigma with
lung cancer. While smoking is the leading
cause for lung cancer, exposure to radon is
the second leading cause to the disease.
If you have lungs you can get lung can-
cer, says Rutkowski.
New cases of lung cancer shows that 10
percent to 15 percent of lung cancer victims
never smoked, totaling 20,000 to 30,000
non-smokers diagnosed every year. Other
risk factors include second-hand smoke,
radiation, asbestos, air pollution and some
organic chemicals.
For homeowners, Rutkowski recom-
mends checking radon levels every two
years to make sure that remediation is not
required. Every year Im checking it and
making sure its under zero, she says.
When we learned about lung cancer we
learned how much funding they werent
getting, says Kellie Smith about the scary
statistics. She says, People turn their
head because of the relationship to smok-
ing and how its self-inflicting. But You
dont have to smoke to get lung cancer.
People dont realize you just need lungs to
get lung cancer.
According to statistics, lung cancer takes
the lives of around 160,000 Americans each
year more than the total deaths from
breast, prostate and colon cancers com-
bined. Although lung cancer is the leading
cancer killer, it is still the least-funded of
all major cancers.
Their third goal is to market Free to
Breathe and encourage others to get
involved in the community.
We found that being with people was
very healing, it helped us cope, says
Rutkowski. People are very quiet about
lung cancer; its hard to talk about. Its nice
to know there are people who share that
experience and are trying to raise money
and awareness.
In addition to the annual walk, Free to
Breathe encourages other community
fundraisers. Rutkowski and Smith hosted a
pasta dinner last year raising $3,000; and a
charity garage sale this year that raised
$1,500.
Free to Breathe is a wonderful commu-
nity, concludes Smith. Its goal is to double
the survival rate by 2022, not an easy task
since lung cancers five-year survival rate
of 16 percent has not changed in more than
40 years, making the need for research
funding more critical than ever. In compari-
son, the five-year survival rate for breast
cancer has advanced to 98.6 percent and
prostate cancer to 99.2 percent, according to
statistics.

A
pple will be the word of the day
on September 27th. A variety of
mouthwatering apple items, plus
entertainment, family fun, auctions, sales
and much more will fill the grounds of the
Flanders United Presbyterian Church ( 58
Drakesdale Road in Flanders) as it holds
its 12th annual Apple Festival from 10am
4pm (rain date October 4th). The event also
includes a blood drive which hopes to meet
a special goal. Church members Kathy
Hinds Banfe and Karen Brand are co-chairs
of the festival.
We will be serving such things as apple
pies and breads and apple cider donuts.
There will also be an apple press for fresh-
pressed apple cider. We are also putting
together a cookbook of the items for sale,
said Rev. Rick Oppelt, pastor of the church.
Banfe shared that activities sure to bring
big smiles to kids will be a hayride, games
including a bouncy house, and arts and
crafts.
For those looking for things to buy, the
event offers a variety of things. RH Farms
will host a Farmer's Market; and for those
looking for a special little something at a
bargain price, theres.a $2 Buck Table. The
event also includes a silent auction of small
items and a live auction of larger ones.
Music, and even dancing, will grace the
area. The band, "The Middle Ages" will
play classic rock and new wave from the
70's and 80's. Dancers from the DeNogla
School of Irish Dance will also be on hand
to entertain.
Oppelt explained that the funds raised by
the event support church special projects
like youth activities, mission endeavors,
music programs and emergency situations.
The event also supplies a day of fellowship.
Our annual Apple Festival provides our
church an opportunity to come together to
provide a fun, safe and delicious day of
activities for the neighborhoods we serve. It
enables us to continue to be a lively
Presbyterian presence in our community, as
we have been for more than 50 years.
explained Oppelt.
Also, that day, the Red Cross will be
there for the 2nd annual Fred Swinson
Memorial Blood Drive. Oppelt explained
that Swinson was a long time active mem-
ber of the church who died in 2013. For
many years, Swinson spear-headed the
blood drive held at the Apple Festival.
Last year, it made sense to christen it
the Fred Swinson Memorial Blood Drive.
Last year, we had 32 donations, more than
Flanders Church Holds 12th Annual Apple Festival - Sept. 27th
we've ever had before and this year we are
shooting for a goal of over 50. One of our
high school seniors is helping to organize it
in an effort to earn a college scholarship
from the Red Cross, shared Oppelt.
September 27th is the date and the word
is apple. The Flanders United
Presbyterian Church apple festival is an
event not to be missed!

usinesses, particularly small business-
es, understand the importance of
establishing an online presence.
Identifying new content strategies can help
keep a company's name and business motto
fresh in the minds of consumers. Search
engine optimization, or SEO, and social
media use can greatly improve a business'
online visibility.
Podcasting is another tool small business-
es have at their disposal. Podcasts, often
referred to as on-demand audio content or
audiocasts, are usually short audio or video
clips. Typically they're episodic and are
released at key intervals. Podcasting enables
listeners to determine when and where they
would like to receive content. Podcasts can be
informative, entertaining or a combination of
both. All that's needed to tune in is a mobile
device or Internet access.
Although podcasting was once a way to
present on-demand radio and other audio pro-
gramming, businesses have redesigned pod-
casting to use them for training and marketing
and as another avenue to disseminate market-
ing materials to the public and a target mar-
ket. As opposed to visiting a website or read-
ing newsletters and emails, podcasts are often
described as more customer-friendly and
accessible.
There are several ways businesses can
benefit from podcasting, including:
Businesses can distribute valuable con-
tent to increase customer loyalty.
Podcasts enable you to be an industry and
news trend provider, which can set you apart
from the competition.
Audio and video are very engaging
media and can keep customers engaged for
longer periods of time.
Podcasts increase marketing reach and
online visibility and can strengthen SEO.
Syndication and repeat scheduling gives
listeners a reason to keep coming back for
more content.
Podcasts can be promoted through social
media channels to make online marketing
efforts even more cohesive.
Downloads of podcasts and transcripts
can be offered directly from your company's
website to drive even more traffic to the loca-
tion.
It's possible to measure the success of
digital audio because it can be tracked by the
number of downloads and the number of
social interactions with the content.
Podcasts work with the consumer's
schedule. If they are unable to listen to a pod-
cast immediately, they can download content
and enjoy it on their own time.
Podcasts reach anyone around the world
with an Internet connection, dramatically
increasing your potential customer base.
Consistent podcasts can be a great way to
share information about your business and
improve your online presence. A 20- or 30-
minute podcast may be better received than a
barrage of marketing emails or a monthly
newsletter.
The Benefits of Business Podcasting
By Joe Klock, Sr.
T
he following material was salvaged from my ran-
dumb notes on floating scraps of paper hereabout.
None of it is ready, IMHO, for either full columnar treat-
ment or the shredder, thus it is submitted for your edifica-
tion, vilification, aggravation or forwarding to other
defenseless recipients.
- The past is a canceled check and the future, at best, a
promissory note, so don't piddle away the present with
pointless games of "what-if" and "if-only." Better to fix
what you can and forget what you can't....like,
maybe,TODAY!
- REMOTELY RELATED QUERY: Should terminated
pregnancies in Czechoslovakia be officially recorded as
canceled Czechs?
- 'Splain me this, if you can: When domestic animals are
found in inhumane conditions, they are taken away from
their owners. Young children in similar circumstances, on
the other hand, are customarily left with their delinquent
non-care-givers, who are subsidized for their negligence -
this, presumably, under the (dis)guise of the sanctity of par-
enthood.
- Among the higher aspirations of personkind (we are
striving here for political correctness) is inner peace, and
the road to that begins with acceptance - acceptance, that is,
of situations we are powerless to change. Implicitly, that
rules out anything and everything we ARE able to change
for the better. It follows that "awfulizing," also called "stew-
ing without doing," is never an acceptable substitute for tak-
ing action, however small a step it might be to toward solv-
ing or mitigating the problem at hand. Suffering in silence,
in a free society like ours, is a self-inflicted
wound...so speak up or SHUT up!
- Query for Atheists: How do you KNOW there is no
God...or do you just strongly BELIEVE that? If the latter,
you're in the same boat as the Doofuses you snicker at!
- The number of people in our nation who are receiving
Federal Food Stamps has grown to more than 46 million.
Meanwhile, the National Park Service continues to urge
people not to feed wild animals. Their stated reason is
because, "they will grow dependent on handouts and will
not learn to provide for themselves." A touch of irony here?
- "Now" is not a movable feast and "then" is not always
available for instant replay. As John Greenleaf Whittier put
it, "Of all sad words of tongue or pen, the saddest are these,
'It might have been.'" So, if a "one of these days" irems is
on your drawing board, why not pick this one? Life may not
be the party we had hoped for, but while we're here, we
might as well dance!
- With another Election Day coming up, there's one very
important question to ask yourself: "Have I listened to both
sides of the issues?" If not, PLEASE don't vote unless and
until you have done so!
- A greater danger for many (if not most) of us is not that
our aims are too high and we'll miss them, but that they are
too low and we'll shred the bull's-eye! (There's a high prob-
ability that some poor slobs invented 6-UP and Preparation
G, then gave up trying).
- Successful people are often simply ordinary folks who
just did what many of their contemporaries, and most of
their competitors, CHOSE not to do.
- A greeting card idea of mine that never made the cut
('specially down heah in the Southland):
"Christmas is a ball for people one and all,
Just gushing with good fellowship and cheer.
But I wonder why the hell I shouldn't wish you well
At this cold, unfriendly, crappy time of year?
Happy February 13th!"
- Similar fate for one of my unsuccessful stabs at a par-
ody writing (to the tune of "Good Night, Irene."):
"Just t'other day I got married; we had champagne and a
cake.
Then me and my wife soon got parted, 'cause I made a
big mistake.
I said, 'Irene, good night, Irene good night. Good night,
Irene, good night, Irene.
But my bride's name was Phyllis."
- WORDS TO LIVE BY:
- Always try to forgive - even if and when you can't for-
get.
- Always do your very best. If that falls short of success,
go with the flow and try again.
- Always say something nice to everyone you meet
today...even "them" (you know who!)
- Encore reminder: Always learn to live with those
regrettable thing in the past that you can't remedy now, so
they won't poop on your present or foul up your future.

T
he Vets Summer Fest 2014 had a
great turnout said producer Sandy
Mitchell in a recent phone interview,
and the military dedication ceremony was
an emotionally powerful moment, as atten-
dees honored veterans at the Aug. 9 event
held at Vasa Park in Budd Lake.
Mitchell said about 1,000 people attend-
ed the event throughout the day, and added
that she thanks everyone who participat-
ed.
This included Picatinny Arsenal, Senator
Steve Oroho, the Knights of Columbus,
vendors, sponsors, Eastern Propane, Harley
Davidson, the musical groups, and more.
Ray Chimileski, Operation Chillout,
Executive Director, said This is Operation
Chillout's (OCOs) 4th annual fundraiser for
our homeless veteran outreach. Proceeds
from the event will enable us to provide
new season-appropriate clothing, emer-
gency temporary shelter assistance, summer
supplies and survival gear. A special fund
has also been set up to acquire an all-terrain
Rapid Response Vehicle to reach homeless
vets in all locations in all weather condi-
tions.
Those who purchased a ticket to the
event helped to support the survival of our
homeless vets.
Operation Chillout website notes that
there are up to 7,500 Homeless Veterans liv-
ing on the streets of New Jersey. Many face
acute Post Traumatic Stress Disorder and
chronic illnesses of body, mind and spirit.
Operation Chillout is counting on help from
the public to enable them to move forward
with their year-round outreach work.
In the winter, Operation Chillout pre-
pares a backpack for a veteranman or
woman filled with NEW warm clothing,
toiletries, survival gear, sleeping bags and
information about local resources; delivered
free of charge at locations where homeless
people gatherlike food pantries, soup
kitchens, temporary shelters, abandoned
buildings, parks and alleyways.
In the hot summer, we collect and deliv-
er cases of bottled water, T-shirts and base-
ball caps. Operation Chillout's Rapid
Response Outreach Team is active 24/7-
365 days a year providing emergency serv-
ices to our homeless veterans.
This years event featured many great
regional bands, good food, cold beer, mer-
chandise vendors, a vintage car and motor-
cycle show, military displays and great fam-
ily fun. Gates opened at 10:30, and atten-
dees brought blankets and in certain cases, a
small chair to relax and enjoy the festivities.
Children had access to a play ground,
games and other fun activites.
Please send additional donations to Spirit
of the Arts, 55 Bank Street, Sussex, NJ
07461. You can call Sandy at 973-875-2068
or email her at sandy@mitchellclan.com.
Operation Chillout notes that We are
vets serving vets and they provide a Rapid
Response Outreach Team; Emergency
Transportation for Medical Care; Winter &
Summer Survival Gear; Advocacy &
Referral; and Monthly Home Cooked Meals
for PTSD Unit at Lyons, NJ VA hospital.
Mitchell called the Vets Day event a
major fundraiser for Operation Chillout that
people really enjoyed.
She said, for instance, that homeless vets
need help to empower themselves and inte-
grate back into society. Without attention,
before you know it they become amongst
the forgotten.
To provide permanent housing for the
homeless vets, for instance, it takes money
to do that, said Mitchell.
Thats all part of what they (Operation
Chillout) do, she added.
Their website is http://operationchill-
out.org/.

F
ootball season can only mean one
thing time to grab the best seat in
the house, and were not talking about
at the stadium. In fact, 77 percent of
Americans think the best seat in the house is
at home in front of an HDTV, according to
a recent survey by McIlhenny Company,
maker of Tabasco brand products. Instead of
heading to the stadium, keep the tailgate at
home and throw a homegating party.
The ultimate homegate is not only about the
football game, its about the food. No mat-
ter whats happening on the field, the spread
can be the real game-changer. In fact, the
survey found the following:
78 percent of American adults think
good food can make up for a bad game.
Americans spend, on average, 42 per-
cent of the game eating or drinking.
Over half of Americans (57 percent)
voted the grill as the most important appli-
ance when hosting a homegate.
For a homegate touchdown, banish the
boring and serve beer-infused chili, which
is sure to please all your family, friends and
football fans. For other ways to spice up
game day, visit www.tabasco.com.

P
lastic bottles are routinely recycled into other plas-
tic items and new bottles, but they can be turned
into much more. When you were sipping water
from that bottle, you probably never thought of the possi-
bilities of wearing that very plastic. However, fabric
innovators are turning disposed plastic into durable gar-
ments. When compared with producing virgin materials,
recycling plastic products helps save up to 70 percent on
energy costs. Recycled bottles can be broken down into
pellets of pure recycled plastic that is virtually indistin-
guishable from virgin plastic. Then the pellets are turned
into yarn, which can be woven as-is or mixed with other
yarns to produce polyester clothing. According to Waste
2 Wear, a recycled clothing company, anywhere from 12
to 20 bottles can be saved per garment and transformed
into anything from robes to shirts to uniforms. Recycled
clothing presents yet another way to turn trash into treas-
ure.
Did You Know?

T
homas Edison had an unconventional education. He
did not start school until he was eight years old. Port
Heron Michigan did not have a public school so he
attended the private Reverend G. B. Engle School that was
closest to his home. This school had rigid classroom disci-
pline and Edison had a free inquisitive spirt that could not
be tamed. The school claimed Edison was a slow and rest-
less pupil and he needed strict reprimanding. His mother
Nancy Edison strongly disagreed with the schools evalua-
tion of her child. Fortunately, Nancy Edisons past profes-
sion was being a Canadian school teacher and her solution
was to home school her own son. The academic course
work Nancy Edison helped to motivate her son came from
reading R.G. Parker's School of Natural Philosophy and in
the later years from The Cooper Union (http://www.coop-
er.edu/). Historians estimate that Edison had less than a
year of classroom schooling in his lifetime. Yet, he had
great academic skills and a real passion for reading books.
Many of the books he read were advanced literary works for
his age.
In Edisons boyhood era, child labor laws were nonexist-
ent or very lax. It was not unusual for children twelve years
of age to procure regular employment with minimal adult
supervision. The Fort Gratiot train depot was a just a short
stroll from the Edison family home. So, at the age of
twelve, Edison found his first job working for the railroad.
He became a candy butcher on the Grand Trunk Railroad
selling snacks and newspapers to passengers. He got to
experience traveling each day on the sixty-mile run from
Port Huron to Detroit. Preteenager Edison hitched a ride on
the best the late 19th Century offered in distance high speed
transportation while most adults were still traveling by
horse and carriage to their jobs. The long lay overs in this
city presented him with a real world of discovery. This
enabled a precocious young boy the time to explore the big
metropolis on his own terms. He was given several hours
each day to the city. He made use of this idle time by join-
ing the Detroit Young Men's Society. This gave him access
to the place of his dreams, a large library and reading room.
Edison recalled his childhood library visits stating "I didn't
read a few books, I read the library."
Edisons childhood jobs kept him in the epicenter of
technology. It was the rail system that also ushered in the
telegraph system. The telegraph area was news the network
center that provided the information for the newspaper pub-
lication industry. As the rail station newspaper boy, he was
in the epicenter of all national news during a momentous
time of Americas own Civil War. Young Edison was alert-
ed to milestone battlefront news hours or even days before
the rest of America. This new technology of the telegraph
piqued his interest. He got to witness the telegram transmis-
sions being relayed and he read all he could about telegraph
communications with dreams of being an operator of this
new technology. Edison wish came true by a twist of fate.
Edison got the telegraph operator position when he saved
three-year-old Jimmie MacKenzie from a runaway train
heading his way. Jimmie's father was the Mount Clemens,
Michigan station agent J.U. MacKenzie and his gratitude
for saving his sons life was to train Edison as the new tele-
graph operator. This was a job that started the innovative
and technical journey that would become the hallmark of
his ingenious life.
Thomas Edison had an extraordinary blended education
of dual experimental and academic learning. But his deep-
est gratitude was to his professional academic teacher with
these sentiments "My mother was the making of me. She
was so true, so sure of me; and I felt I had something to live
for, someone I must not disappoint." And Thomas Edisons
childhood Fort Gratiot Depot was turned into The Thomas
Edison Depot Museum that offers educational programs in
electricity, energy, communications and magnetism to Port
Hurons local children.
