Foundation Sets Wheels In Motion For Train Station Plans
By Jane Primerano

station attracts the
attention of drivers
headed from Route 80 to
Lake Hopatcong, but the
board of the Lake
Hopatcong Foundation is
planning on making it an
even more commanding
presence in the village of
Landing.
We are hoping to help
with a revitalization of

administrator for the foundation.

The once bustling community on the shore of
Landing Channel features
empty storefronts and a
vacant bank building,
although a few businesses,
including the Dunkin
Donuts where the Snake
in the Lake doughnut was
invented, thrive.
The foundation closed
the station on Nov. 6, 2014,
according to the press
release.
The plan is to create the
Lake Hopatcong Cultural
and Environmental Center,
she said. The foundation
will move its offices from
donated space on Nolans
Point
in
Jefferson
Township once the station
is renovated. The station
will provide much more
room for the three employees, Macalle-Holly said.
Other plans include a meeting space, which was set to
be used for the first time on
Fri., May 15, for the mem-
ber meeting, although not

too much work will be
complete by then.
The meeting will be
accompanied by a rent
party with food and music
to raise money for the purchase and renovation.

About $150,000 of the
$450,000 needed has been
raised, according to the
foundations newsletter.
Macalle-Holly said she is

seeking grants from the
1772 Foundation which has
a revolving fund for historic property redevelopcontinued on page 4

Astronaut Inspires HHS Students
tudents from Hopatcong High School

were recently invited to spend the
morning at High Point Regional High
School listening to a presentation from a real
life Astronaut. Students from the STEAM
Academy and Engineering classes were
given the opportunity to hear a presentation
on The Future of Technology presented by
Dr. Sandra Magnus.
Magnus has completed three missions to
space with the longest being a four month
stay aboard the International Space Station.
Her presentation focused on the theme of if
you can dream it, you can achieve it. She
spent time talking about how her education
allowed her to get to where she is today.
Starting with an interest in Physics in
high school she continued her education to

earn a masters degree and doctorate. Her
goal of being an astronaut started as a little
girl and was eventually realized later in life.
Her first hand description of every aspect of
space life was riveting. She outlined the
procedure to become an astronaut and continued with how it felt to fly on the last shuttle mission the United States sent to space.
A question and answer session followed
her presentation and she generously offered
honest answers about all details of living on
the International Space Station.
The students of Hopatcong who attended
Dr. Magnuss presentation were very fortunate to have been inspired and motivated by
a true American hero.

ment programs and the New Jersey
Historic Trust.
NJHT matching grants provide up to
$15,000 toward exterior painting; finishes
and surface restoration; fire detection systems; lightning protection; security systems; porch, roof and window repair or
restoration; structural foundation and sill
repair or replacement, and chimney and
masonry repointing.
Community events will be scheduled
there and the foundation will create lakethemed displays.
The Lake Hopatcong Historical Society
Museum, located at Hopatcong State Park
near the Roxbury/Hopatcong line, will
bring exhibits to the station, Macalle-Holly
said.
Another partner is the Morris Canal
Working Group with 150 members from
nonprofit organizations and federal, state,
county and local governments. The goal is
to preserve as much of the canal right-ofway as possible and create a public greenway.
The station, right on the Greenway and
Lake Hopatcong, owes its existence as the

largest lake in NJ to the creation of the
canal. Great Pond and Small Pond were
dammed, at what is now the state park, to
provide sufficient water for the Canal, an
engineering marvel of the 19th Century
that carried coal from Phillipsburg to
Jersey City.
The working group embarking on a
study of the remaining sections of the
canal and its towpath as the first step in
preserving as much of the canal right-ofway as possible. It was formed by the
North Jersey Transportation Planning
Authority in 2012.
According to the NJTPA website:
NJTPA formed the working group, to
bring stakeholders together to coordinate
current and future plans for transportation
resources.
Two planning studies, one for Jersey
City and the other for Warren County
are complete. Other, independent studies of the canal include a Morris Canal
Greenway Feasibility Study, mapping of
the Morris Canal in Essex County and a
state Department of Transportation survey

of the coal-handling facilities on the canal.
Jessica Murphy, executive director of
the foundation said of the purchase: "This
is such an exciting time for the Lake
Hopatcong Foundation as we take on this
project that both looks back on the lake's
rich history and looks forward to vibrant
days ahead for the Lake Hopatcong community. There is much to do, but we're
being thoughtful each step along the way
and anxiously looking forward to opening
the doors to a beautiful, historical, and
environmentally friendly building in the
not-too-distant future."
Memorial Day Event Set For Hopatcong
opatcong resident, Dawn Roberts,

recently attended the NJ Goldstar
Family Monument groundbreaking
ceremony at the NJ Vietnam Veterans
Memorial in Holmdel on Sun., May 3.
It was a very meaningful and sincerely
heartfelt ceremony, says Roberts, who lost
her son Michael Kirspel Jr. in Afghanistan
almost five years ago. Kirspel, a 2006 graduate of Hopatcong High School, was a 23year old sergeant in the U.S. Army when he
was killed by an Improvised Explosive
Device (IED) while fighting the Taliban on
Oct. 27, 2010.
Unveiling of the monument is set for Sept.
27, following the conclusion of the three day
NJ Run for the Fallen, of which she is running the last five miles in honor of her son.
The Hopatcong Memorial Day parade is
Sat., May 23 at 10 am. Starts at town hall on
Riverstyx Rd. in Hopatcong and ends at
Veterans Field on Flora Ave. where there is a
ceremony at the war monument and also a
monument for Michael and another soldier
from Hopatcong that died in the Vietnam
War.

Lake Hopatcong Block Party Celebrates NJs Largest Lake
ocal bands performing on patio

boats; local restaurants selling signature dishes; local businesses selling their products and services; community organizations sharing their missions and
messages and at the center of it all, a
full-on celebration of Lake Hopatcong
itself, with boat rides (for some lucky
attendees), nautical kids crafts, and lake
demonstrations. The second-annual Lake
Hopatcong Block Party is all about New
Jerseys largest lake and the vibrant community that surrounds it.
Held 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. on Sat., May 9 at
Hopatcong State Park, the block party
brought together a variety of businesses
and groups from around the lake, along
with thousands of visitors from near and
far. The Lake Hopatcong Block Party is
part of the groups effort to bring together
the four towns and two counties that surround Lake Hopatcong and celebrate as a
united community.
There is so much to celebrate about
this lake and the people and businesses
who call this area home, said Jessica K.
Murphy, president of the Lake Hopatcong
Foundation, which is coordinated this
event for the second year.
About 3,000 visitors, plus more than
200 vendors, and 80 volunteers participated. New events this year included free
boat rides for those who signed up; an 18passenger trackless train, which rain on
walking paths in the park and overlooked
the park/lake/Block Party; patio boats up
on the same level as the vendors with live
bands performing on them throughout the

day; 15 food vendors, including mostly
local restaurants selling their signature
dishes; a very active childrens area with
games and activities for kids, as well as a
scavenger hunt that had them going all
over the place within the Block Party; and
the four towns had spots assigned in the
center of the event to show off their plans
and activities as well as give their local
officials a chance to meet with local residents.
The money raised from parking donations, registrations, and sponsorships
helped cover the cost of the event itself,
which we see as part of our mission to
unite the towns around the lake and celebrate the lake community, says Murphy.
The 18-passenger train collected a $2
donation per person, which went directly
to our Lake Hopatcong Train Station capital campaign, otherwise all the money goes
to the Lake Hopatcong Foundation.
We cover our expenses, and if there is
any surplus, it helps cover our other projects and initiatives including safety, lake
education in local schools, water quality,
invasive species prevention, adds
Murphy.
The Lake Hopatcong Block Party
showcases our local community in so
many ways and this year the goal was to
make the event bigger and better, said
LHF development director Lauren Rossi.
Upcoming events include a group hike
set for Sun., June 7 at the Ice Age Trail in
Landing; the Lake Hopatcong Foundation
Gala and Auction set for Sat., July 18, at

the Lake Hopatcong Yacht Club in Mt.
Arlington; and the Lake Loop, a
bike/walk/kayak challenge back at
Hopatcong State Park on Sun., Oct. 11.
The Lake Hopatcong Foundation is a

registered 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization
with a mission of improving Lake
Hopatcong for all, now and in the years to
come.
Students Learn Needed Skills
pecial Education teachers in Hopatcong schools,

Julie Wilson and Ashley Ferrentino, are showing
their students a different side to learning. Students
in both classes are participating in Community Based
Instruction trips to foster independence and to work on
daily living skills outside of the classroom.
Both classes are scheduled to go to the H.I.L.L.S
House at Centenary College this spring. The H.I.L.L.S
House Program (Helping Individuals Learn Life Skills)
gives students positive learning experiences and opportunities to reach his/her highest level of independence in
daily living skills before transitioning towards community-based activities. The students will work on skills such
as home maintenance, cleaning, and gardening and hospitality skills such as cooking, laundry, making beds, budgeting, and clerical tasks.
Learning these skills is crucial for students to become
independent. It is hard to duplicate this experiential learning process in a tradition classroom and being able to go
to the H.I.L.L.S House is a unique opportunity for our students to work with their teachers in an authentic setting.

Annual Strawberry Festival For Strawberry Lovers And Others
By Elsie Walker
sure sign of summer is the
Strawberry Festival held by the
Stanhope United Methodist
Church in Netcong.
This longtime annual event features not
only a variety of strawberry-related items,
but other food, vendors, and an attic treasure sale. The event is set for Sat., June 13,
from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m.; Weather-permitting,
it will be outdoors; in case of inclement
weather, it will be held in the downstairs of
the church. There are still vendor spaces
available. The fee is $25 for an easy up tent
size space. For more information, call
973-347-0247.
Church Historian and Trustees
President Amanda Rush of Netcong, said,
It was in the late 1980's that we started
having the strawberry festivals. Volunteers
go up to Post's farms in Andover and pick
strawberries and bring them back to the
church and clean them up. Church members take home containers of strawberries
and make [everything] from yummy
homemade strawberry preserves to straw-
berry/rhubarb pies, beside the strawberry

shortcake with Cliff's Homemade vanilla
ice cream and finished off with whip
cream.
Pints of strawberries are also available
for purchase on the day of the event.
Co-coordinating this years event are
Lynn Gremmo of Hopatcong and Lynn
Owens of Andover; the churchs pastor is
Lynn Zaremba.
Gremmo said, The Strawberry Festival
at Stanhope United Methodist Church is
such a good event People can take a stroll
outside and visit the many vendors that
will be showing their unique wares. Then,
they can come inside to see our attic treasures area where you can find that certain
little or big something that you have been
looking for.
In addition, Rush said that there will be
a book sale. We have a lot of books to
offer this year and at 25 cents a book, thats
[a] pretty good bargain].
Among the vendors and crafts there,
youll find Mary Kay Cosmetics, Arbonne
Skin Products and items such as hand cro-
cheted doilies, bejeweled items, silver jewelry, crystal and more.

Zaremba said, The festivals proceeds
benefit the church by allowing us to continue our community outreach programs
such as hosting Interfaith Hospitality,
which provides a temporary home and
food for homeless families in that pro-
gram. Also, there are two Alcoholics

Anonymous groups that use our building,
as well as two Girl Scout troops. There are
a variety of other programs that benefit
from the proceeds of the Strawberry
Festival, too. As a church, we enjoy sharing the gifts that God has blessed us with.

It is our hope that as people attend functions such as this, that they will be touched
with God's love. It's fun to be able to take
time to share with people in the community and to find ways that we can assist with
the needs of the community and beyond.
For the church members, it is a great
time of fellowship as they put together the
event and they look forward to it with

expectation.
Church member Bruce Bristol of
Landing said, Super Stanhope
Strawberry Spectacular! Im looking forward to that famous sweet strawberry
shortcake, sizzling sausage and crafty
crafts. I can't wait!
Reflecting on the event and the commu-
nity, Rush said, The Strawberry festival

gives people the opportunity to come and
see our church and find out what Stanhope
United Methodist
Church is all about, and find out the history of the Church in the Glen. We've
been in the community since the 1834 and
have played a vital role in the community
all these years, not only with the
Strawberry Festival, but the old time auc-
tions that we used to hold. The mission of

the church has always been to play a part
in the community, and being located across
from beautiful Lake Musconetcong, you
can't miss the beauty of the area which
resembles a glen. We invite people to be
there on Strawberry Festival Day and not
only then, but to worship with us on
Sunday. Service starts at 9:30 a.m.

Couch to 5K 101 Tips Offered To Ease Into Running Season
By Cara Connelly
he temperatures are rising and the
birds are chirping- great motivation to
resume favorite warm weather activities. For runners, that means the start of
spring training.
Creating a seasonal race schedule and
planning running goals is exciting and crossing the finish line nothing shy of rewarding.
If more time is spent in slippers than running
shoes during the Winter, take it slow.
The couch-to-5K is a popular training
plan for runners who want to get off the
couch and run 3.1 miles after just a couple of
weeks. If looking to run a 5K for the first
time, simply focus on the distance knowing
PB- personal best- will be set up on race day.
As the second or third race is built up, focus
more on time. A 5K is considered the entry
level distance for road races and the most
beginner friendly choice if looking to break
into road racing.
So, how long is a 5K race? It would be
like running across a football field 54.68
times, running around all four bases of a regulation baseball diamond 45.47 times, running the length of an NBA regulation court
174.13 times or running a little less than a
fourth of the length of Manhattan. A 5K is
long enough to be a challenge, but, not so far
to be discouraging.
At 3.1 miles, a 5K is a very doable running distance.
Start out easy. Runners shouldnt expect
to start where they left off. Just because five
miles was run six months ago, does that
mean that can be done right away. Start
workouts slowly with less mileage, less time
and a decrease in intensity. Running is an
extremely challenging activity so dont
make it any harder than necessary when
starting out. For the first few months, stick
to flat paths or run on a treadmill keeping the
incline low. Wait to incorporate speed, intervals or longer workouts. By adding speed
sessions and longer workouts too soon,
chance of injuries is increased. Build cardiovascular endurance and gradually increase
the workout length.
Warm up and cool down, hydrate and
diet. If the body is eased into each run, better preparation to sustain effort will keep one
going. Start and finish every run with three
to five minutes of walking. Now is the perfect time to start reevaluating the diet and
hydration needs. By staying hydrated and
eating balanced meals, the energy and stamina will conquer any work out.
Go shopping. Running requires very little
equipment. All one really needs is a good
pair running shoes and for women, a supportive sports bra. For footwear, visit a local
running specialty store and get properly fitted.
Walk, run-walk, then run. If brand new to
regular exercise, start by walking for the first
three weeks, 30 minutes, several times a
week. Gradually mix in a little running try
60 seconds and build up from there. Soon
running will be more with walking will be
less until none at all.
Take the talk test. Remember to start out
easy. If alone, recite the Pledge of
Allegiance a few times. If struggling to get
the words out, the run is too hard.
Mix in the activities most enjoyed
Increase that fitness level while decreasing
repetitive muscle fatigue by cross training.
Try yoga, pilates, biking, skating and anything to get moving.
Set a personal goal. A dangling carrot
keeps the motivation flowing. Register for a
local 5K road race or aim to run a certain
number of miles or minutes each month. Its
helpful to find a running partner and keep
one another motivated.

etcong School staff participated in

wearing blue to work and donating $5 each to support World
Autism Day. The total amount collected
was $150 which will be donated to Autism
Speaks, the world's largest autism science
and advocacy organization. The launch of
their Light It Up Blue campaign began
April 2. It is a unique global initiative to
help raise awareness and shine a bright
light on autism as a growing public health
crisis in support of World Autism
Awareness Day.
Dr. Gina Cinotti, Netcong School
Principal, who organized the event said,I
wanted to simply bring awareness to
Autism and Autism Spectrum Disorders,
as this knowledge helps us understand
others those with the diagnosis. Children
are our future and we need to meet the
needs of all our students.
Autism is a complex neurobiological
disorder that inhibits a person's ability to

communicate and develop social relationships, and is often accompanied by behavioral challenges. Autism spectrum disorders are diagnosed in one in 110 children
in the United States, affecting four times
as many boys as girls. The prevalence of
autism increased 57 percent from 2002 to
2006. The Centers for Disease Control and
Prevention have called autism a national
public health crisis whose cause and cure
remain unknown.
Autism Speaks is North America's
largest autism science and advocacy
organization. The organization is dedicated to funding research into the causes,
prevention, treatments and a cure for
autism; increasing awareness of autism
spectrum disorders; and advocating for the
needs of individuals with autism and their
families. For more information, visit

uture Teachers Association ran a drive to help the

Hopatcong Pound. Items were collected and
brought recently to the pound. The students also
made cat toys and brought the toys to the pound. The
pound is in desperate need of dog food, cat food, cat litter

Hopatcong Students Celebrate Earth Day
n honor of Earth Day,

the students in Mrs.
Mancusos class in
Hopatcong Borough created Litter Bugs. After
learning about ways to help
and protect the earth the
students had many ideas to
share. Each student was
asked to bring in garbage
from home to help create
his or her creature. The
students used their materials from home to create
their very own Litter Bug.
In writing, each student
gave their Litter Bug a
name, and then worked to
write a special Earth Day
message from their Litter
Bug. Each student then
had the opportunity to present their Litter Bug and its
special message while
filming an Earth Day
Commercial.

Netcong PTA Sponsors Walk-A-Thon
he Netcong Parent Teacher

Association (PTA) sponsored its
annual Walk-A-Thon for Netcong
School students on Wed., April 22.
Schedules were created for each class to participate walking for a specific amount of
time. Students took time out of the day to
exercise and keep walking. As they completed each lap, PTA volunteers marked their
cards. Other PTA members were calculating
how many laps students completed. Pledges
forms were sent home and students were
sponsored for completing laps. Pledges were

provide in various amounts or a flat rate.
Students could earn five additional laps
toward their total by walking to school on
Wednesday morning. All students wore
sneakers and had a blast.
I was so impressed on the organization
and energy our PTA put into creating this
successful event, says Dr. Gina Cinotti,
principal. Our PTA rocks! The students and
staff had a blast.
Productive Year For FTA Students
his year has been very productive

for the newly established Future
Teacher Academy. The membership increased from five to eighteen, which
includes four eighth graders. The group
meets weekly and has traveled to three
character and leadership building conferences at the Foundation for Educational
Administration in Monroe.
The group is highly active in community service projects such as collecting items
for the local pound, hosting a DIY (do-it-
yourself) doggie pull toy activity, after

which they visited a local shelter to distribute the pull toys. These future teachers
have also collected more than 80 jeans for
Aeropostale; which were then distributed
to needy teens. The members tutor
younger students at Tulsa Trail and
Hudson Maxim, honing their future
teacher skills. Additionally, they have had
multiple bake sales in order to raise money
for upcoming events.

Scapicchio Enters Ring For Round Two For Freeholder Fight
David Scapicchio
By Cheryl Conway
zero tax increase, reducing debt
and maintaining roadways are high
on the list for David Scapicchios
campaign as Morris County Freeholder.
Running in the Republican 2015 June 2
Primary for his second three- year term as

freeholder, Scapicchio of Flanders and
Morris County resident for more than 36
years, was sworn in to his first three-year
term on the freeholder board on Jan. 4,
2013, serving as the boards deputy director
in 2013 and 2014.
Competing in an all-Republican
Primary, Scapicchio joins running mates
Freeholder John Krikus of Washington
Twp., and Deborah Smith, a Denville councilwoman. The three are competing against
incumbent John Cesaro of Parsippany,
Christine Meyers of Mendham, Angelo
Tedesco of East Hanover, and Thomas
Mulligan of Rockaway.
With success in keeping all promises
during his first term, Scapicchio plans to
continue the same course.
When we ran in 2012, we made some
promises, says Scapicchio during a telephone interview with New View Media.
We did not raise taxes for three years in a
row. We said wed reduce debt; we reduced
debt by $300 million. We said wed pave
roads. Weve been able to do that without
raising taxes. The plan is the same.

Scapicchio says I made promises in
2012 when I first ran; I fulfilled those
promises. As candidates for political office
we set goals, we promise to make changes,
and to do things differently. More often
than not, even with the best of intensions
those promises are hard to keep. During the
2012 campaign we made some promises,
and we have succeeded in fulfilling many
of them. Promises made-promises keep.
No stranger to public service,
Scapicchio served as Mt. Olive mayor from
2006-2011; Mt. Olive Twp. councilman for
two consecutive terms (1996-2004) in
which he spent two years as council president; Mt. Olive Zoning Board of
Adjustment; and is a former chair of the
Mt. Olive Republican Committee.
At the county level, Scapicchio served
on the Morris County Municipal Utilities
Authority.
He currently chairs the Capital Budget
Review and Facilities Committee, which is
in charge of capital programs. In that
capacity, he is involved in a six year pro-
gram, 2015-2021, to enhance the road surfacing program. The road surfacing program has grown from 17 miles of road
resurfacing a year, prior to 2013, to 34
miles of roadway each year, a much needed service based on severe winters and
roadway conditions, he says.
We want to continue that program,
says Scapicchio, adding that there are 284
miles of roadway in Morris County that
need to be maintained.
We have prioritized infrastructure
improvements, an area most governments
have failed to address, he says. This year
weve invested $16 million on the countys
infrastructure.
Scapicchio mentions a continued course
regarding health insurance, debt and taxes.
Health Insurance cost the county $47
million a year, he says, so the freeholder
board eliminated the policy that enabled
freeholders to receive health insurance paid
for by the county tax payers, and also
changed the policy that provided employees lifetime health insurance after 15 years
continued on next page
Scapicchio Enters Ring...

continued from previous page
of employment.
The county no longer provides new
employees with lifetime benefits, and all
employees now contribute towards their
health insurance, he says.
The board is also considering a selfinsurance program which may have the
potential to save the county hundreds of
thousands of dollars, he adds.
Regarding debt, Morris County debt is
at $229 million, down from $259 million
when he came into office.
By keeping capital spending under
control we have been able to reduce debt by
$10 million a year, says Scapicchio.
Regarding taxes, he says We said we
would not raise property taxes- we have
delivered three budgets with no tax
increase and we are working hard to deliver a 2016 budget with no tax increase as
well. Our goal is to make county government smarter, smaller and more responsive.
We are reforming health care, paying
down debt, controlling taxes, investing in
roads and bridges and maintaining the
countys AAA bond rating, says
Scapicchio. Thats good Republican leadership!

Scapicchio studied at DeVry Institute of
Technology and eventually became a partner in Scapicchio & Sons, a family-owned,
high-quality, professional residential construction company in Whippany.
Originally from Livingston, he and his
wife Betsy, married in 1977 and have four
grown daughters.
Scapicchio says he is re-running for
freeholder because I enjoy public works,
working with others how we can provide
service in the county and doing it without
raising taxes. I enjoy working towards that
goal.
The freeholder board is an elected
administrative body that sets policies for
the operation of all county services. That
includes six county government departments and their divisions, plus authorities,
commissions, boards and study committees.
Each of the seven freeholders serves as
a liaison to one of those departments and to
other areas of county government.

Did You Know?
pening a dresser drawer to find

clothes disorganized and stuffed
inside can be frustrating. Bulky
clothes may not seem to fit correctly and
other items can become stuck at the back
of a drawer, making it difficult to close the
drawer properly. Although you may be
tempted to purchase an entirely new dresser or give up and store items solely in the
closet, try a new tactic. Various organizing
experts advise folding and layering clothes
vertically in drawers to create more space

and keep things neat. An additional benefit
to this method of storage is you can more
readily see just what you have in the drawer, rather than lifting and looking underneath your clothing. Anyone can give this
a try to free up space in their drawers. This
method also works especially well with
children's clothing, giving kids the opportunity to see their clothes and choose their
own outfits.

Thomas Edison Tuned Into Progressive Housewives in New Century
by Michele Guttenberger
ntering the 20th Century, men dominated the business and financial
arena while women fixed or
improved the aliments of their culture and
society. Women also reigned as the
domestic managers of their household and
gave undivided attention to the governance
of the American family. The American
Magazine deemed that Edisons wife Mina
was the custodian of one of the greatest
geniuses the world has ever known.
However, she preferred her own title as
Home Executive. The last decade of the
19th Century rang in modern technology
for the 21st Century bringing in better
home living and family life. Thomas
Edison inventions saw purpose to these
home executives commonly referred to as
the devoted housewife or the lady of the
house. These ultramodern open-minded
women entering a new century desired
clean, easier and enjoyable home living.
Thomas Edison appreciated a womans
perspective on modern living. He saw this
population as great guiding mentors in his
own life. After all, he was homeschooled

by his mother. There were many milestone
events were Thomas Edison appealed to
women in launching the most innovative
technology of its day. The very first tech
toy was marketed for small girls. The
Edison talking doll was technically the
first home phonograph when it was
released to the public in 1890. It was the
first home entertainment phonograph
because, each doll housed an internal
phonograph containing a six second prerecorded nursery rhyme.
Edison Electric Illuminating Company
of Brooklyn was in operation on Sept. 4,
1882. The electric illuminating system
provided electricity to Pearl Street. It was
now possible for homes and businesses to
purchase electric light at a price that could
compete with gas. The first advertisements on this illuminating technology
were targeted to the lady of the house.
Their ads read: A Flood of Light A single touch brings a flood of light. Another
touch dismisses it. Best artificial light ever
known. Displays the home and its treas-
ures at their very best. No exposed flame

to blacken walls and decorations with soot
or vitiate the air causing ill health, to
flare in the wind or be blown out. Pure,
steady, clean, cool, sanitary, safe. Can be
placed anywhere- even in clothes closet.
The lamps and fixtures are decorations.
Color, design and situation arranged to suit
individual taste. Is your home Electric
Lighted?
Ironically, while Thomas Edison used
certain dialogue in his ads to influence
women to want his products, it was recently discovered that his viewpoints on work
and the state of genius may have been
influenced by Kate Sanborn (July 11, 1839
- July 9, 1917). Sanborn was a very popular American author, teacher and lecturer
in her time. Followers of Thomas Edison
feel one of his best quotes was: Genius is
one percent inspiration, ninety-nine percent perspiration. This quote parallels to
Kate Sanborns message. Genius is inspiration; Talent is perspiration. Her reply to
this comparison was Of late it has been
widely quoted, but with no acknowledg-

W
ment, so I still think it is mine. This claim

was recorded in the Detroit Journal, as
cited in the Philadelphia newspaper The
Times on Dec 23, 1892 (p.4). So a woman
proved to motivate the opinions of another
genius in like thoughts.

haq loves everyone and is a wonderful family dog.

He is losing his home because his family is no
longer able to care for him and he needs a new home
urgently. Shaq is a very healthy 11 years old, loves all people and children and is very submissive with other dogs.
Like all beagles Shaq's favorite activity is walking outside
and smelling all the good things there are to smell, especially in spring. Shaq is hoping more than anything to find
a new home where he can go for walks and be loved and
be a part of a family once again. Shaq is extremely polite,
knows basic commands, and is a real love bug. He is smart
and curious and would be happiest in a family where he
would not be alone all day. He is losing a bit of his hearing. Shaq is vaccinated and neutered. If interested in Shaq,
contact the Pet Adoption League at www.palpets.org, call
973-584-0095 or email us at info@palpets.org.
