Police Departments Pitch In For Charity Softball Game

By Jason Cohen
olicemen
from
Washington
Township,
Mansfield
and
Hackettstown will grab their bats
and gloves as they participate in a charity
softball game to benefit Avery Harris, a 7month-old who has Microvillus Inclusion,
a disease that does not allow the absorption
of nutrients when being digested.
The game is Sun., June 7, at 3 p.m. at
Tannery Field, in front of Centenary
College in Hackettstown.
Detective Corporal Brian Bigham of the
Washington Township Police Department,
who helped organize the fundraiser, said
he is looking forward to the event and it
will be nice to see people come together
for a worthy cause. Although the Harris
family lives in Independence, he said it has
strong ties to the Hackettstown area.
Our department is always looking to
run fundraiser events for people who are in
need in our communities, Bigham said.
Bigham said his department came up
with the idea because many of the officers
know Harriss dad and when they asked

Hackettstown and Mansfield if they wanted to be involved they jumped on board


right away. There are nine officers playing
from the each department with a possibility of more participating.
The event is obviously a great event
because it benefits a little boy who has
been in and out of the hospital is whole
short life, Bigham said. The family is not
the type of family that asks others for help,
so this department along with the
Hackettstown and Mansfield Police
Departments decided to get together and to
run an event for Avery to help the family
out. It is important to come out to the game
to support Avery and his family because
they are a local family in need of support
and they would do the same for anyone
else.
Admission is $4 per person and $10 a
family. Bigham said businesses can purchase a banner with their information on it
that will be displayed at the game and the
amount of donations will determine the
size of the banner. Businesses will also get
their name on the back of the game t-shirt,

which will be for sale as well. To make a


personal donation, send a check made out
to Washington Township PBA Local 301

to the Washington Township Police


Department, at 1 East Springtown Road,
Long Valley, NJ (no deadline).

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

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.

Morris County Freeholders Debate Brings Differences To The Forefront

by Anastasia Marchese
his month's debate sponsored by
the Mendham and Chester
Republican Club was held at the
Lamplighter Restaurant in Chester. On
May 7, the Republican candidates for
Morris County Freeholders got together
to discuss their positions on the current
issues affecting Morris County residents.
Many hot button items came up and more
than once the air in the room became
tense as the candidates differences
became apparent.
Out of the eight candidates, seven
were present for the entire debate, while
the eighth arrived during the final statements. David Scapicchio who is currently on the Freeholder board arrived late,
due to being detained by his liaison
duties.
This year the incumbents split into
two separate teams, having differed on a
number of issues.
Dubbing themselves the "Morris
Conservative Team" are Freeholder
David Scapicchio of Mt. Olive,
Freeholder John Krickus of Long Valley,

and Freeholder candidate Deborah Smith


of Denville. The other team of
"Republicans for Morris County
Freeholder" consists of Freeholder
John Cesaro from Parsippany TroyHills, Freeholder candidate Christine
Myers of Mendham and Freeholder candidate Angelo Tedesco of East Hanover.
The stand-alone candidate is Thomas
Mulligan of Rockaway Borough.
During opening statements most of the
candidates expressed similar goals for
the upcoming term if elected, such as
economic growth, building and paving
more roads, and working together with
county offices to reduce redundancy and
increase efficiency. However, once the
moderator started asking questions about
the recent solar settlement, things began
to heat up.
Cesaro defended his choice to vote for
the settlement, by pointing out that they
were advised by the county's legal counsel to take the settlement in order to
avoid getting bogged down in the mire of
a lengthy investigation and litigation. He
also distanced himself from the original

plan by pointing out that the origins of


the solar plan "were way before my
time."
Krickus was quick to distance himself
from the settlement by pointing out that
he did not vote for it. "We are going to
ask questions," he said. "Professionals
are good, but we need to question them.
They are the ones making money off this
project. The freeholders voted for the
solar program without asking questions."
Smith made it clear that she would not
have voted for the settlement because of
the gag order. Cesaro rebutted, "We can
talk about it, just not in a disparaging,
back alley way."
Forced to move on by time constraints, the candidates were asked about
some recent conflicts between the freeholder board and the County Sheriff,
Edward Rochford, over the hiring of new
officers and requested pay increases and
bonuses for the County Officers. All the
candidates expressed respect and appreciation for the Sheriff and his officers
while emphasizing the need to work with
him. Smith, who has known Rochford for

years said, "We need to work with him in


a respectful manner. We need to avoid
headlines."
Just this month a compromise was
reached by the Freeholders and the sheriff's office to raise the officer's salaries by
5 percent over the next three years.
The other hot button topic was the discussion of what to do with the county
surplus, which went from 40 million to
60 million over the past three years. The
fact that part of this surplus is the result
of some county offices being left vacant,
was pointed out by Myers. She went on
to say, "Economic growth is the only
thing that will ensure lower taxes. We
need economic growth to ensure our surplus."
Her team mate Cesaro, also pointed
out, "The AAA Bond rating is a very precarious issue. You mess around with our
surplus that is going to affect your interest rate." He went on to explain that giving money back to the taxpayers in the
form of a tax rebate will lower the surplus and with it the bond rating. That

continued from previous page
could possibly cost the taxpayers more over time
because of raised interest rates that the county
would be paying.
Mulligan, the stand alone candidate distanced
himself from the back and forth banter that went
on a bit between the two teams, by sticking to his
objectives, qualifications and his "small town"
mindset. "Government needs to run as efficiently
as possible," he said during his closing statements.
"We need to eliminate duplicate services across the
county."
Krickus used his closing statement to once
again distance himself from Cesaro's vote on the
solar settlement. "We need to build roads, not solar
Panels," was his phrase of the evening while
emphasizing that he and his running mates, Smith
and Scapicchio stand for "the right ideals of conservative government."
Tedesco emphasized that his team of Cesaro,
Myers and himself "believe in negotiating, not litigating."
All in all, the evening helped define the differences between the candidates and made the audience a more informed electorate. The Republican
primary elections day is Tues., June 2.

Gill St. Bernards Reacquires 128 Acres

By Jason Cohen
ill St. Bernards School in Gladstone increased the size
of its campus to more than 208 acres when it recently
completed the acquisition of 128 acres, 18 of which are
zoned for residential development, located adjacent to the
school across St. Bernards Road.
The private transaction was completed on March 2 and was a
gift from the previous owner, Betsy Michel, of Chester
Township. The gift was completed on April 1.
I think it was just a wonderful confluence of different
things; her desire to see the school reacquire the property,
which once belonged to Gill St. Bernards and the board of
trustees thinking of the future, said GSB headmaster Sid
Rowell.
The property was purchased by the school in 1942 and was
used for the boarding program and other student activities until
it was sold to Carl and Betsy Shirley, Michels parents, in 1965.
For more than five decades, they produced hay, raised chickens, cattle, pigs, goats and donkeys and kept bees on the farm,
which they named Homewinds.
When Michel and her family considered the sale of the
property early last year, they approached the school before listing it. The board of trustees evaluated the land due to its proximity to the campus for its potential uses. After a lengthy period of time to allow for the school to perform the necessary due
diligence, the board unanimously voted to move ahead with the
transaction.

Im very fortunate to have known her (Michel) for many


years, Rowell said. Shes always been a good friend of the
school. How can anyone not say what an incredible potential
opportunity this was?
Short-term, the property will accommodate the schools
operations department. The apartments on the property will
be utilized for the housing of school employees. It will also
allow for the expansion of Gills farm-to-table program and
be used by Hi-Hills Day Camp.
Long-term, it will support the expansion of GSBs academic programs, including those involving place-based
learning beginning as early as the 2015-16 school year.
I want to make it clear that the Gill St. Bernards community is deeply appreciative to Betsy and her family in their
support of our school and the future of our school, Rowell
said.
Michel, 72, went to GSB as a child and after living in New
York City and Paris, she moved to Gladstone in 1976 with her
husband Clifford and their family. When Clifford passed
away in 2004, she began thinking about moving back to the
city. Now, a resident of the Big Apple,
Michel said its weird not owning the property, but knows
she made the right decision.
It seemed like the right time for the school to have it
again, Michel said. Theyve been wonderful neighbors.
Weve had a wonderful life on that farm. There are so many
happy memories. Theres a lot of nostalgia.

Acupuncture and Chinese Medicine Provides Relief


for Those Who Suffer From Fibromyalgia

o many of my patients have come to Acupuncture as a


last resort for their fibromyalgia pain, exhausting
every other treatment for this menacing and painful
disease. The most common symptoms associated with
fibromyalgia are as follows: pain in the muscles and joints,
brain fog, digestive problems, insomnia and fatigue. Each
individual diagnosed with fibromyalgia exhibit varying
symptoms based on the length of the disease. Fibromyalgia
is tenacious in nature and expresses itself differently in each
individual. It is this differentiation of symptoms in each
individual that responds so well to Acupuncture and Chinese
Medicine. Each individual is diagnosed based on their presenting symptoms according to Chinese medical diagnosis,
not because a patient has been diagnosed with fibromyalgia.
Each patient is evaluated and a treatment plan is designed for
that patient only.
I have found over the many years of treating fibromyalgia that my patients look healthy, hence their pain and symptoms very often are not taken seriously and many have been
put on anti-depressants by their doctors. As a result, fibro
sufferers receive little empathy from family, friends, and
health care practitioners.
Western doctors often avoid
billing using a fibromyalgia code fearing reprisals from
insurance companies that are still debating the validity of the
disease. Most fibromyalgia patients dont respond well to
pain medication and have found little response to drug therapy.
No one knows or understands how and why fibromyalgia
originated. Western medicine has yet to determine the
cause, although some believe it may be an autoimmune disease. However, according to the ancient theories of Chinese
medical differential diagnosis, fibromyalgia follows patterns
of imbalances associated with Qi (energy), organs and energetic qualities of the body leading to pain syndromes, some
of the following pattern are most often seen in patients suffering with fibromyalgia:
1. External Pathogens- According to Chinese medicine, a

Dipl. Ac., C.A.

cold or flu is treated by releasing the pathogen to the exterior. Part of this process includes opening the pours by causing a sweat. If an exterior pathogen is not treated properly,
it can become latent and lodged in the interior of the body.
This unresolved virus can lodge itself in the muscle tissue,
or more seriously, n the organs of the body. Interestingly,
antibiotics are often used when a person comes down with a
cold or flu, but Chinese medicine knows that antibiotics are
very cold in nature and cold causes contraction. When
antibiotics are used in the presence of an exterior pathogen,
the pathogen cannot move to the exterior thus getting
trapped in the muscle tissue.
2. Liver Qi Constraints - The Livers main job is its ability to move Qi throughout the entire body. When the Liver
function becomes obstructed or constrained there is a tendency for the Liver to become heated. Not only does the
Liver function become impaired, but the Liver overacts on
other systems. It can affect the Heart function causing
insomnia and the Spleen and Large Intestine functions causing digestive difficulties. With Liver Qi obstructions there is
typically an emotional component or imbalance causing
frustration, easy to anger and even depression.
3. Dampness Phlegm is produced in the body when
there is too much dampness, this Phlegm is a sticky substance which can adhere to every cell in your body.
According to Chinese medicine, Phlegm is not just restricted to your respiratory system.
People suffering from
fibromyalgia often have Phlegm lodged in the muscle tissue
causing stagnation and pain. This is one of the factors that
make fibromyalgia patients difficult to treat with western
medicine. Western medicine has no way of recognizing or
clearing dampness from the tissues, but Chinese medicine
and Acupuncture have been doing this for thousands of
years.
4. Qi Deficiency Many patients with fibromyalgia suffer from severe fatigue. Their energy is often so depleted
that they cant hold down a job or even care for their fami-

lies. Chinese medicine knows how to build your Qi or energy without further strengthening the pathogen. This is why
fibromyalgia patients cannot use typical supplements that
build energy and vitality in the body.
The patterns listed above are the main underlying patterns seen in fibromyalgia patients. The only way for a
patient to regain their health in this situation is to release the
pathogen and resolve the dampness. Both Chinese herbal
formulas and Acupuncture can get you back on the road to
wellness. For a more detailed explanation, please see my
website, www.skylandsacupuncture.com and click on pain

testimonials from my fibromyalgia patients.

Sugar: Not So Sweet


For Your Health

en and women often joke about needing their daily


"sugar fix." But the American Heart Association
notes that the average American is consuming
nearly twice the amount of sugar he or she should be, a mistake that could be jeopardizing sugar consumers' long-term
health.
If sugar is a staple of your diet, then the following are a
handful of factors that might make you reconsider your relationship with the sweet stuff.
* Sugar may increase risk of diabetes. Studies have
shown a link between sugar consumption and diabetes. A
study published in the journal Diabetes Care revealed that
subjects who drank one to two servings of sugar per day
were 26 percent more likely to develop type 2 diabetes than
those who drank one serving of sugar per month or none at
all. Sugar-sweetened beverages contribute to weight gain,
and overweight and obesity are risk factors for diabetes. And
the quick delivery of sugar to your body from sweetened
beverages can lead to insulin resistance and inflammation
over time.
* Excessive amounts of sugar can negatively affect your
heart. A study in the Journal of the American Medical
Association found that people who got 25 percent or more
of their calories from added sugars were far more likely to
have low levels of HDL, also known as "good cholesterol,"
than those whose diets included less than 5 percent sugar.
Low HDLlevels increase your risk of stroke, heart disease
and heart attack.
* Sugar may negatively impact mood. A sugar high may
temporarily boost your mood, but researchers from Baylor
College of Medicine discovered a correlation between sugar
consumption and depression. The exact link is unknown, but
some researchers feel insulin resistance resulting from heavy
sugar consumption forces the release of stress hormones,
negatively affecting mood.

Arc/Morris Still Doing Great Deeds After 60 Years

By Ejvind Boccolini
he Arc Morris is a great provider of
services for individuals with
Intellectual and/or Developmental
Disabilities (I/DD), helping them to become
as self-sufficient as possible and to become
included in their communities as much as
possible. For more than 60 years Arc Morris
has done this great deed.
Last year, the organization celebrated 60
years of service, and earlier this month,
Executive Director, Bill Testa, offered some
insight on its service.
"For over 60 years, The Arc/Morris has
envisioned a world in which people with
Intellectual and related Developmental
Disabilities and their families are valued and
have the opportunity to achieve their highest
level of self-sufficiency, independence, and
inclusion possible," said Testa.
Arc Morris representatives note that they
thank "our many supporters for their continued participation." Those who have donated
and supported Arc Morris have helped them
achieve the status of being an organization
that is truly productive and kind toward the
individuals it serves.
Our progress as an organization and the

gains we have made for people with intellectual and other developmental disabilities
have occurred hand in hand," as stated in the
website. And that progress has largely been
achieved because of the grass roots nature of
our movement."
Representatives ask that local community members support the ARC, get involved,
donate, or become an advocate.
It is noted on their website, arcmorris.org
that local residents can get involved by
checking out the How To Help section.
As an example, it is suggested that, "For
family members, committed to helping
advocate for people with I/DD, consider
joining The Arc of New Jerseys Family
Advocacy Program."
Also, "Educating policy makers and
elected officials concerning the mission of
The Arc is essential at this time. You can
help by taking action."
Volunteering is, of course, another way to
help The Arc/Morris.
"Volunteer opportunities are always
available at The Arc/Morris.

with our Recreation Program, get your fellow employees at work to help out with a

order to continue the excellent service they

to the continued success of the Arc/Morris.

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, run-

ning 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, betcontinued on page 27

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.

Couch to 5K 101 Tips Offered...

continued from page 25


ter 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.
Track progress. Keeping a log is a great
way to see where one has been and where
one is going. Whether online or on paper,
document each run. Include time, pace and
how it felt to see what is working.

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-

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.

Sun., 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Admission Fee is
$10. Visit http://www.nps.gov/edis/ for
