W

ith the NJSIAA Sectional Tournaments for high

school girls lacrosse looming as opening

rounds are just about to get underway, the cap-tains on a playoff-bound team become all the more vital.

Those student-athletes who have earned the distinction of being the voice of their team through words and/or actions

are important because, for instance, they can help the less

experienced players on the roster understand what to

expect in post-season competition.

When it comes to leadership, the Roxbury High Schoolgirl’s lacrosse program is in good hands this spring with

senior captains Dana Pizzuti and Renee Sarinelli.

“I usually name my captains at the end of the previous

season, because I rely heavily on them to organize cap-

tains’ practices/workouts, fall leagues and tournaments,”Roxbury head coach Kevin Bewalder said. “Renee andDana have been a part of the program for all four years

and have been impactful players at the varsity level since

sophomore year. They both lead by example they come to

practice every day with the idea that they have a chance to

get better at some aspect of their game. They never takeplays off and they hold their teammates accountable for

the same behavior. They never have to raise their voice or

yell at a teammate, but at the same time, their teammates

don't want to let them down and they give them everything

they have.”

Bewalder is pleased to see that Pizzuti and Sarinelli arestill finding ways to become better lacrosse players.

“Dana has always relied on her speed to create scoring

opportunities,” Bewalder said. “This year she has become

more comfortable with making the extra pass and has also

Girls’ Lacrosse TeamIn Good Hands With Senior Captains

become more of a player-coach on the field as she helps

make sure that we are all executing our plays properly.She has also become more accurate with her shooting,

rather than firing the ball as hard as she could towards the

goal, she has begun to pinpoint her shot and as a result,

even if they don't result in goals, she is making the goaliehave to work to make the save.”

As for Renee, he said, “Renee has made the adjustment

to the new rules on defense. She was consistently getting

called for checks because she was used to

holding her stick horizontally. Last year

new rules were put in place that put limita-

tions on when you can use a horizontal

stick. It took some growing pains but shehas been terrific on defense this season.”

The two captains give their teammates

many reasons why they should be respect-

ed, not only because they are capable

lacrosse players, but also for what they areable to accomplish in the classroom.

“Renee learned from some great upper-

classmen and has since returned the favor,”

Bewalder said. “Last year as a junior she

took on a leadership role on the field andhelped teach a couple of freshmen and

sophomores. Dana is our inspirational

leader. She leads our team out onto the

field, firing them up while in the huddle,

encouraging them while on the field and

congratulating them after wins and picking

them up after a loss.

“Renee had been accepted to a number

of very good colleges and made her coach

very proud when she decided to attend my

alma mater, The College of New Jersey.

Dana has decided to attend MonmouthUniversity in the fall. Both earned Honor

Roll and High Honor Roll for all four

years. As great as their knowledge and

work ethic is in the classroom and on the

field, their demeanor, personality andmaturity is second to none in Roxbury

High School, which is filled with an abun-

dance of great kids.”

Through April, Roxbury had an overall

record of 9-3 and were very much in con-tention to once again with the NJIGLL

Freedom North Conference title. Last sea-

son, the Gaels advanced to the NJSIAA

North Group III Sectional Tournament

where they were defeated by Morristown

The new Business

Administrator of the

Roxbury School

District is facing the chal-

lenges of her new position,and working to keep things

functioning smoothly with-

in the district.

Business Administrator

Susan Joyce, a Hunterdon

County resident who was

the previous business

administrator at the voca-

tional school Hunterdon

Poly-Tech, brings her

sound budgetary and

administrative philosophies

to Roxbury. She began in

Roxbury earlier in 2015.In an interview in early

May, Joyce spoke about

how Roxbury school offi-

cials helped her feel at

home in her new position,

and how they are an excel-

lent team to work with.

"I feel like I'm part of

the team right off the bat,"

Joyce said.

She added that the

school community "mademe feel very at home"

when she began about three

months ago.

Joyce also noted that she

is very cognizant of the fact

that she works for the

school board and the pub-

lic, and that she needs to

always think of the point of

view of the taxpayers and

citizens.

Joyce said that when she

is working with school fac-

ulty, staff, or administra-tors, "I like to give every-

one ownership."

She said she takes a very

hands-on approach, and

realizes that not one person

can do it all. Instead, Joyce

believes that she should let

each person do what they

do best. And in the end,

sometimes 'experience'

outweighs everything, or

sometimes 'the fresh idea'is what is chosen.

In the Roxbury School

District, "It's really a team

philosophy," Joyce

said."It's a great group of

people to work with.”

It is important for school

officials in any district to

communicate, she said. It is

New Business Administrator Settles In To Roxbury Schoolsessential, and any great

administrator has to pos-

sess this as one of their

strengths.

"You can't exist on anisland in a school district,"

she said.

When asked about her

plans or goals in the school

district, Joyce noted that,

"My initial plan is just a

smooth transition."

Joyce said that Roxburyis very stable fiscally and

management-wise, and

though she came on board

during budget time, it was

not an impossible chal-

lenge, just a challenge.

She noted that she really

wants to get a feel for theschool community and do

the absolute best "with the

resources you have," and do what the com-

munity wants and what the community

needs. Joyce said some other administra-

tors may feel the desire to "change things

right away" so they can make their mark,

but this is not really what she believes isvalid.

“The district belongs to the communi-

ty," she said, and she wants to be mindful

that she works for the school board and the

public.Her duties as business administrator

include budget, payroll, benefits, oversee-

ing grants (the fiscal side), facilities, trans-

portation, food service, insurance, and all

accounting (accounts payable, accountsreceivable, and purchasing, for instance).

Joyce has seven individuals who work

for her in the business office, and are, in

fact, very busy during the summer months.

They are busy with all the tasks not direct-

ly under education, she said. For instance,

they do not plan curriculum.The Roxbury School District has seven

schools: four elementary school grades

kindergarten through fourth; one school

grades fifth and sixth; one middle school

for grades seven and eight, and one highschool. There are about 4,000 students in

the school district. Also, Mt. Arlington

sends their high school students into the

district - this usually equates to about 150

students.

Joyce noted that it is a lengthy processto phase in a new business administrator or

superintendent in a school district. It is

such a big transition, and both of thesetypes of school officials are required to

give several months’ notice to the districtthey are leaving, and need several months

to make the transition into the new district.

Year after year, a high school sports

program is fortunate to have oneor maybe even two seniors on the

roster who have not only the qualifica-

tions, but the willingness and fortitude

needed to be captain.

Let’s just state that the Roxbury High

School boys’ lacrosse team is very fortu-nate this spring. The Gaels have four sen-

ior leaders who have met the high stan-

dards in terms of what it takes to be named

as a captain-Matt Fiebel, Aaron Sanchez,

Chris Snow and Nick Snow.Chris Blough, the head coach for the

Gaels, has convincing reasons as to why

the four student-athletes have earned such

an important leadership role.

“These players have demonstrated a

commitment to the culture change this pro-gram is undergoing,” Blough said. “They

have a desire to bring Roxbury Lacrosse to

a higher level. They are excellent exam-

ples of what any coach would want repre-

senting their program. All of them lead byexample. They are hard workers in prac-

tice and demand the same from their team-

mates.”

Through the month of April, each cap-

tain had made his presence felt on the

field.“Chris Snow, starting attack man, is

second on team in points, third in goals

and second in assists,” Blough said. “Nick

Snow, starting defenseman, is second on

team in takeaways and third in groundballs. Aaron Sanchez, starting defenseman,

leads the team in takeaways and ground

Captains Committed To Bringing Roxbury Boys’ Lacrosse To New Level balls. Matt Fiebel, starting midfielder, has

10 goals and six assists.”

All four seniors have found ways to

improve in order to become more com-plete lacrosse players this season.

“Chris Snow is playing a new position

and has excelled during his transition from

midfield to attack,” Blough said. “Matt

stepped into a starting role this season and

has played very well throughout the sea-son. Aaron and Nick Snow have helped the

defense communicate better as the season

has progressed. They are vital to us play-

ing sound team defense and can match up

with just about anyone one-on-one.”Each captain has his own particular

ways when it comes to helping guide their

teammates in the right direction.

“Chris Snow is our vocal leader,”

Blough said. “He has been vital to rallyingthe guys to get things done in the off-sea-

son. He kept the team focused on our goals

before the season even started.

Nick Snow, Aaron and Matt lead by

example. Nick and Aaron’s play during

games and in practice teaches the younger

guys how things should be done. They

make our defensemen and attack men bet-

ter with how they practice.

“Matt is always working hard no matterwhat he’s doing,” he said. “He is the one of

the best examples of a captain and a stu-

dent-athlete I have coached and his team-

mates have started to follow his lead.”

The most important thing to remember

about the captains of the 2015 Roxburyboy’s lacrosse squad is that each of them

has academic futures beyond once their

high school days are complete. Blough

mentioned that Sanchez will attend Ithaca

College, Chris Snow will attend CentenaryCollege, Nick Snow will attend Rutgers

University and Fiebel will attend Steven’s

Institute of Technology.

After 15 regular season games, the

Gaels had an overall record of 12-3.Last season they advanced to the NJSI-

AA North Group III Sectional Tournament

where they were defeated by one goal by

Randolph. First and second round

Sectional Tournament games will be

played during the third week of May.

By Marge Cushing

As the Township of Roxbury celebrates its official

designation by the Morris County Board of

Freeholders 275 years ago, it can point with pride

to an outstanding school system, formalized in 1894 with

the establishment of a Board of Education in recognitionof a desire to centralize the loosely organized “district

schools” that had sprung up after the Revolution.

Hidden in the annals of the history of local education is

the existence of a log cabin school even before the Lenni

Lenape Indians sold a large tract of land in 1708 to a groupof British colonists intent on mining the iron ore they had

discovered in the rolling hills. Members of a small reli-

gious sect, the Rogerenes had migrated here from

Connecticut, building a log cabin community around a

small body of water now known as Lake Rogerene, justsouth of Lake Hopatcong. An aloof group, they chose to

isolate themselves from their neighbors in nearby devel-oping villages of Ledgewood and Succasunna as the min-

ing industry flourished and the population grew, and at the

start of the Revolution the Rogerenes abruptly left thearea as quietly as they had come.

Education was a priority among the settlers arriving in

the mid-1700’s. A study of their lineage reveals a legacy

of high regard for education traced to their British and

European roots. They were their children’s teachers before

it became practical to establish schools.

Top: Roxbury Academy (established 1809)

photo is a photo of the dormitory that

housed the out of state pupils.

Bottom: Lower Berkshire Vallely photo is of a

one room schoolhouse now lived in as a resi-

dence on Berkshire Valley Road.

The Development of Education in Roxbury TownshipAs the population increased after the Revolution, “dis-

trict schools” were formed, each with its own board of

trustees, rules, and hiring standards. The first district

school, the Alpaugh School built in Succasunna in 1806

on the Road to Chester, now Unneberg Avenue, was

named for the family who farmed the area and whosedescendants still live around the corner on Eyland Avenue.

The house on the site of the old schoolhouse includes

some visible interior structural components of the original

building.

By 1876, the six villages of the Township that hadevolved: Succasunna, Kenvil, Ledgewood, Port Morris,

Lower Berkshire Valley and Landing all had one room

schoolhouses; “each with its pot-bellied stove and musty,

smelly damp rags” used to clean the slates the children

wrote upon. Two schoolhouses adapted for use as resi-dences remain, one in Lower Berkshire Valley and one in

Kenvil.

Unless you keep close track of obscure holidays and

observances, you probably didn’t know that

August is “What Will Be Your Legacy? Month."

Still, you might want to use this particular month as a use-

ful reminder to take action on what could be one of yourmost important financial goals: leaving a meaningful lega-

cy.

A legacy isn’t simply a document or a bunch of num-

bers — it’s what you will be remembered for, and what

you have left behind that will be remembered. It’s essen-tially your chance to contribute positively to the future,

whether that means providing financial resources for the

next generation, helping those charitable organizations

whose work you support, or a combination of both.

To create your legacy, you’ll need to do some planning.

And you can start by asking yourself a couple of key ques-tions:

What are your goals? When you think about leaving a

legacy, what comes to mind? First and foremost, you may

well want to leave enough money to help your own grown

children meet their financial goals. After that, you proba-bly have other things you’d like to accomplish. Perhaps

you want to provide resources for your grandchildren to

attend college? Or set up a scholarship at your own alma

mater? Give financial support to a cultural, social, reli-

gious or scientific group? By thinking about your goals

and putting them on paper, even in an informal sense,

you’ll be taking the important first step in leaving the

legacy you desire.How can you turn your goals into reality? If you don’t

take some concrete steps, your legacy just won’t material-

ize. And the most important step you need to take is to cre-

ate a comprehensive estate plan. Your estate plan can be

quite involved, because it may involve several legal docu-ments, such as a will, living trust, health care power of

attorney, and so on. In creating these materials, you will

need to work with your legal and tax advisors because

estate planning is definitely not a “do-it-yourself” endeav-

or.

You probably shouldn’t wait until you are deep intoretirement to take action on your estate plan because

developing the necessary documents and arrangements

can take a fair amount of time — and you’ll want to make

these preparations when you’re in good mental and phys-

ical health. Also, the longer you wait to set up your estateplan, the less likely it will be that you’ve communicated

your wishes clearly to your family members, who may

end up unsure about what you want and what their roles

are in carrying out your plans —and that’s an outcome you

certainly don’t want to see.

In fact, clear communications are essential to develop-ing a successful estate plan. You should not only tell your

family members — and anyone else affected by your

estate plan — what you are thinking of doing but also

inform them about the professionals with whom you areworking and the locations in which you are storing any

vital documents, such as your will.

By identifying your goals, working with the appropri-

ate professionals to create an effective estate plan, and

communicating regularly with your family members andother “key players” in your life, you can go a long way

toward leaving the legacy you desire.

So, do what it takes to launch that legacy.

Some folks saw fit to establish a private co-education-

al school called the Roxbury Academy on Succasuna’s

Main Street in 1809. Its enrollment included local pupils

as well as others from Pennsylvania, Ohio, Morristown,Mendham and New York, in some instances enrolled by

their parents “to shield them from the dangers inherent in

larger cities.” The building still standing at 83 Main has

been used in a variety of businesses throughout the years,

currently housing Village Antiques and Collectibles withits offerings from yesteryear.

Adjacent to the school building was a grand dormitory

with mansard roof and wrap-around porch, which served

several purposes after the school closed. In its final days

it was the Roxbury Inn, ultimately destroyed by fire in the

1980’s, leaving nothing but a vacant lot in its place.

Built in response to a population explosion in 1857, onthe western end of Succasunna’s Main Street in 1857,

when chestnut trees were clustered on the hill

behind it, was the Chestnut Hill School. Lower grade

pupils were taught on the first level and high school stu-dents on the second, with the curriculum including Latin,

German and algebra. Unfortunately, the Chestnut Hill

School, in use until 1903 when students traveled to it from

Landing by trolley car, and having at times housed Town

Hall, the offices of the Health Department and the

Department of Public Works, was demolished this year

after a period of vacancy with plans for the property to be

developed by Habitat for Humanity.A Board of Education is Established

By 1894, the impracticality of the district school con-

cept was recognized and centralization of the districtschools was implemented, with formation of a nine mem-

ber Board of Education, which mandated use of the same

calendar, textbooks, supplies, and uniform hiring prac-tices. Within a few years, additional classroom space was

needed in both Succasunna and Kenvil, prompting con-

struction of the “Gray Building” on North Hillside Ave.

with classes first held in Sept. 1904 for grades one through

12. It currently houses the Board of Education offices.Grades one through eight were taught on the first floor

in the Gray Building; high school classes upstairs with a

curriculum including English, Latin, German, history,

algebra, geometry, trigonometry, botany, art, and music,

followed in a few years by the addition of agriculture and

commercial courses offering shorthand, typing andaccounting.

Roxbury High School, in the forefront of secondary

education, accepted tuition students from nearby towns

that did not offer high school classes, including Randolph,

Chester, Hopatcong, Jefferson Township, Mt. Olive, andMt. Arlington.

Within ten years, the Gray Building was bursting at its

seams with classes in 1914 being held in cloak rooms,

stairwells and even in the principal’s office. Lower gradeclass sizes ranged from 40 to 70 pupils!

Some taxpayers favored construction of a separate high

school with an expanded curriculum to include home eco-nomics and carpentry. Athletics by this time had been

introduced suggesting the need for a suitable playing field

separate from the grammar school playground. An audi-torium, gymnasium and library were among the wish list

of students, teachers and forward looking townspeople.

But in 1915, a $38,000 bond issue for construction of a

new building was overwhelmingly defeated by the public.

A year later, however, the State Department of PublicEducation judged the aging one room school houses inad-

equate, which would require transferring the displaced

students to the Gray Building, resulting in elimination of

the high school grades. After much discussion and sever-

al referenda, a new school for grades seven to 12 was

finally approved by a majority of voters, resulting in theconstruction of the Lincoln School, adjacent to the Gray

Building, the first separate “high school”. Completed in

1918, the Lincoln School included indoor and outdoor

athletic facilities, a library and an auditorium, “all the

amenities of a modern school of its day,” with tuition stu-

dents from neighboring towns continuing

to be enrolled.

An aging old schoolhouse in Lower

Berkshire Valley was replaced in 1921with a stone building, the LafayetteSchool, still standing, with thoughts by the

Roxbury Township Historical Society to

turn it into a museum with history of all six

villages of Roxbury.

In 1938, population growth followingthe completion of Route 10 put more

demands on the school system and Lincoln

school was converted to a grammar school,

leading to adjacent construction of a new

high school named the Roosevelt School,

the tone now set for naming schools afterformer presidents.

Demand for Accelerated School

Construction

At the end of World War II, further

expansion of the area created an influx of people from cities to suburbs.

Farmland gave way to corporate and

residential development, accelerating the

pace of school construction during the next

thirty years. Overcrowding at the

Roosevelt School by 1955 required theelimination of accepting out-of-town

tuition students, with the exception of

those from Mt. Arlington, who continue tobe accepted. The demand for grammar

schools quickened, and between 1957 and1969, Franklin, Jefferson, Kennedy, and

Nixon Schools were completed.

With the need to merge Lincoln and

Roosevelt Schools in 1961 to accommo-

date increased grammar school enrollment

once more, a new high school was in order,resulting in the construction of Roxbury

High School for grades nine to 12. In

1972, the Eyland Avenue building became

the Eisenhower Middle School for gradesseven and eight with completion of thepresent Roxbury High School behind it,

with athletic field and school bus depot.

No new schools have been needed

since 1972, but existing facilities contin-

ue to be expanded and upgraded, withtaxpayers still debating the pros and cons

of increased school spending. Residents

acknowledge the value of investing in the

continued from page 12 education of youth, the hope of the

future.

Roxbury schools offer quality educa-tion that keeps pace with the demands of

a changing society and includes pro-

grams that develop the whole person.

As the school year comes to a close,

hopefully each child can reflect on it with

a sense of satisfaction and accomplish-

ment and look forward to the comingschool year with positive anticipation

and worthwhile long-term goals.

Hats off to education in the Township

of Roxbury!

Roxbury High

School’s All-

American Kat

Ramage signed a letter of intent today to attend

Lindenwood University inMissouri.

Reflecting a national

trend with an increasingnumber of Rugby college

teams growing quickly

nationwide and a smaller

pool of players to choosefrom, the sport of Rugby is

giving students like

Roxbury’s Kat Ramage

great opportunities becauseof the growing popularity of the sport. Ramage is a very

accomplished Rugby player

who most recently played in

China as part of the USA

Youth Olympic Team.

“I kind of look at it aswhat soccer was 20 years

ago,” says Tom Feury, head

coach for the Morris

Rugby’s girls high schoolteam. “Rugby is an emerg-ing sport in America. Kat is

an intense athlete. She fell in

love with the sport, going to

every camp, every practice

workshops, masterclasses, lectures and

competitions. Among the performers were

some of the most notable tuba and euphoni-um musicians in the field today.

A dedicated musician, TJ spends much of

his free time practicing, performing with

various Roxbury HS ensembles, is a mem-

ber of the New Jersey Youth Symphony andpreviously played with the Eastern Wind

Symphony Youth Band. No stranger to the

competition scene, he was a Young artist

Tuba Solo semi-finalist at both the

International Tuba Euphonium conference

and Leonard Falcone International TubaEuphonium and Tuba Festival in 2014. TJ

also plays bass trombone, guitar and drumsas well as sings with the RHS Choir.

The RHS Instrumental Band Program,

led by director Todd Nichols, is supportiveof extracurricular music endeavors, under-

standing the educational value that exposure

to a variety of music experiences can have

for its students.

what she does and that is

why she is where she is

Dartmouth, Penn State andNorwich, who all offered

her scholarships, but she

chose Lindenwood. She was

impressed by the workout

“Kat comes from a very

strong Morris, NJ program

and a great family,” he says.

“I have had the opportunityto coach Kat the past two

years with the Empire City

U19 team at the RAST in

Pittsburgh and have had the

pleasure of watching hercontinue to grow and mature

into the player she is today.

Azero tax increase, reducing debt

and maintaining roadways are highon the list for David Scapicchio’s

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 board’s deputy directorin 2013 and 2014.

Competing in an all-Republican

Primary, Scapicchio joins running mates

Freeholder John Krikus of Washington

Twp., and Deborah Smith, a Denville coun-cilwoman. 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 promisesduring his first term, Scapicchio plans to

continue the same course.

“When we ran in 2012, we made some

promises,” says Scapicchio during a tele-

phone interview with New View Media.“We did not raise taxes for three years in a

row. We said we’d reduce debt; we reduced

debt by $300 million. We said we’d pave

roads. We’ve 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 oftenthan 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 presi-

dent; 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 sur-

facing program. The road surfacing pro-

gram has grown from 17 miles of road

resurfacing a year, prior to 2013, to 34

miles of roadway each year, a much need-ed service based on “severe winters” androadway 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

we’ve invested $16 million on the county’s

infrastructure.”

Scapicchio mentions a continued courseregarding 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 paidfor by the county tax payers, and also

changed the policy that provided employ-

ees lifetime health insurance after 15 years

“The county no longer provides new

employees with lifetime benefits, and all

employees now contribute towards theirhealth insurance,” he says.

The board is also considering a self-

insurance 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 wewould not raise property taxes- we have

delivered three budgets with no tax

increase and we are working hard to deliv-

er a 2016 budget with no tax increase aswell. Our goal is to make county govern-

ment smarter, smaller and more responsive.

“We are reforming health care, paying

down debt, controlling taxes, investing in

roads and bridges and maintaining thecounty’s AAA bond rating,” says

Scapicchio. “That’s good Republican lead-

ership!”

Scapicchio studied at DeVry Institute of

Technology and eventually became a part-ner in Scapicchio & Sons, a family-owned,

high-quality, professional residential con-

struction company in Whippany.

Originally from Livingston, he and his

wife Betsy, married in 1977 and have fourgrown 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 depart-ments and their divisions, plus authorities,

commissions, boards and study commit-

tees.

Each of the seven freeholders serves as

a liaison to one of those departments and toother areas of county government.

Entering the 20th Century, men dom-

inated the business and financial

arena while women fixed or

improved the aliments of their culture and

society. Women also reigned as thedomestic managers of their household and

gave undivided attention to the governance

of the American family. The American

Magazine deemed that Edison’s wife Minawas “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 betterhome 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-mindedwomen entering a new century desired

clean, easier and enjoyable home living.

Thomas Edison appreciated a woman’s

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 towomen in launching the most innovative

technology of its day. The very first tech

toy was marketed for small girls. TheEdison talking doll was technically the

first home phonograph when it wasreleased to the public in 1890. It was the

first home entertainment phonograph

because, each doll housed an internal

phonograph containing a six second prere-

corded nursery rhyme.

Edison Electric Illuminating Companyof 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 topurchase electric light at a price that couldcompete with gas. The first advertise-

ments on this illuminating technology

were targeted to the lady of the house.

Their ads read: A Flood of Light – A sin-

gle touch brings a flood of light. Another

touch dismisses it. Best artificial light everknown. 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, toflare 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 suitindividual 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 recent-

ly discovered that his viewpoints on workand the state of genius may have been

influenced by Kate Sanborn (July 11, 1839

- July 9, 1917). Sanborn was a very popu-

lar American author, teacher and lecturerin her time. Followers of Thomas Edisonfeel one of his best quotes was: “Genius is

one percent inspiration, ninety-nine per-

cent perspiration.” This quote parallels to

Kate Sanborn’s message. “Genius is inspi-

ration; Talent is perspiration.” Her reply to

this comparison was “… Of late it has beenwidely quoted, but with no acknowledg-

ment, so I still think it is mine.” This claimwas recorded in the Detroit Journal, as

cited in the Philadelphia newspaper The

Times on Dec 23, 1892 (p.4). So a womanproved to motivate the opinions of another

genius in like thoughts.Visit the Thomas Alva Edison Museum
