While most Students spend their High School years

worrying about grades, proms, and collegesearches, 17- year old Rita Baorto was busy piec-ing together her first fantasy novel, 15 stitches. Baorto firstcame up with the idea for her book as an eighth grader, set-ting her sights on having it written and published before shecompleted High School. Her goal was accomplished oneyear early and she is now reaping the benefits, gaining newfans and receiving rave reviews from lovers of the fantasygenre.

The book is unique in its story as it tells the tale of rape

17 Year Old Randolph Teen Makes Literary Debutvictim Harmony Vindico, a character who is trying to gether life back to what it used to be. While on her road to

recovery she encounters new crush and transfer studentKeith Draykon who appears to have a secret identity. AsHarmony gets closer to Keith, Harmonys old crush Damonstarts to get involved and the identities of both Keith andDamon become revealed and a battle erupts between twodifferent other world species with Harmony caught in themiddle. Baorto brings forth an exciting novel as her charac-ters come to life with exuberance and exquisite detail.

Putting together a novel is no easy task for authors aseverybody has their own method to writing their story.Baorto recalls the process before everything was finalized:

I remember seeing scenes before I started writing thebook itself. I would see the chase scenes in the book andwould go from there. I went through self publishing compa-ny iuniverse and the whole process took about 9 months.They edited it, trimmed it down to make it better and itcame out the day after my birthday in April. I was so excit-ed to see my book at the bookstores.

Baorto also gives advice to writers her age looking to getpublished:

If you are looking to write a book, just stick with it untilit is finished. Dont give up. It gets really frustrating some-times when you are writing but be confident in what youwrite because when you send it out, the book is better thanyou think it is.

Rita Baorto looks to write more books and is alreadystarting work on her next project. To check out this newauthor on the rise you can purchase 15 stitches onAmazon.com either in paperback or on the Amazon Kindle. Rita Baorto

to our aid. The police officer asked my daughter what school she went to in order tocontact my husband to let him know what happened and what hospital to meet us at.My daughter was very brave.

riving down Route 46 in theNetcong-Roxbury area, GraceChurch is a familiar sight. What

people might not know is that Grace Churchalso has a campus in Rockaway. On Sundaymornings, a trailer drives up to the DennisOBrien Elementary School at 418 MineralSprings Drive, Dover and from that traileremerges a portable church set-up and atransformation begins. At 10 am, there are

the sounds of live praise music; the schoolhas become a church, complete with SundaySchool, nursery, caf, and worship area.However, it is not separate from Grace. You

see, Grace is one church two locations,a multi-site set-up that churches in manyareas are adopting.

Its been a great ride, said Rev.Cameron Baker commenting on the estab-lishment of the Rockaway campus. TheRockaway Campus pastor, Baker is excited

The praise band at the Rockaway Campus of Grace Church plays at the 10am service.

Grace: Two Locations One Churchabout whats been happening at Grace. TheRockaway Campus was launched on EasterSunday 2011. It started with 23 families andhas grown to have 42 families call the

Rockaway Campus home.The Rockaway Campus started from a

prayful effort to alleviate a problem. Thatproblem was that the Netcong campus wasrunning out of parking. Grace had previousexperience starting a church plant (newchurch) in the west, but now the church wasgiven the gift of an idea, not to plant anoth-er church, but to expand the ministries it wasdoing at the Netcong Campus to anothersite. Baker noted that the idea went alongwith Graces Vision : to raise up genera-

tions of families that are built to last.Because it is previously planted a church

in the west, Grace decided to look to theeast for the location for its new campus.After looking at some venues, it approachedthe Rockaway Board of Education aboutrenting the school. Then, it looked to thecongregation for help.

We asked individuals from Rockawayand surrounding areas [who worshipped atthe Netcong Campus ]if they could seethemselves as missionaries to Rockaway

[during the start-up period], said Baker.The idea of the new campus, was not just

to worship in Rockaway, but also be part ofthe community.

Now Sunday mornings are busy at theDennis OBrien Elementary School as a

trailer is unloaded with the items that willmake the school, temporarily, into a church.The contemporary worship service starts at10am with A great worship band, asBaker describes those that provide themusic. The sermon that is preached eachSunday is a reminder that Grace is truly onechurch with two locations. The same ser-mon given at the Netcong campus is alsoseen at the Rockaway Campus via live videorecording.

The two campuses share in activities and

events such as youth groups and serviceprojects done by the church.

Though there are challenges in having atemporary campus church building, suchas finding meeting space for church activi-ties during the week, there are many posi-tives, too. There are opportunities for fel-lowship, for spiritual growth, and for serv-ice.

Looking ahead, Grace is working onanother campus location: on the internet.The church is working to establish a greater

internet presence which will include wor-ship opportunities on the web.

Your opponent works toward youusing small fast steps, a menacingblade in hand, searching for anopening, any opening to exploit. You do thesame, retreating, then advancing, lookingfor any opportunity to thrust your blade intoyour opponent, while not be hit yourself.Your pulse is thundering in your ears, youare super-aware and each second is packedwith excitement and electricity! You attacktowards your opponents center, but youropponent parries forcefully; a little tooforcefully you note, then the steel is crash-ing into and deflecting your blade

Where and when is this scene happen-ing? 17th century France, or England?Perhaps the action is from a movie aboutmusketeers, or even Lord of the Rings?No, this scene plays out many times everyevening at the Morris Fencing Club inRandolph, NJ, where head coach SlavaDanilov and his team teaches the disciplineof modern sport fencing. Fencing is quick-ly gaining popularity in the US, particularlyin the metropolitan NY-NJ area. The arrivalin the US of high-quality coaches fromcountries such as Hungary, Ukraine, andRussia have helped propel US fencing toheights never previously imagined. The US

is winning fencing medals at World compe-titions and the Olympics as never before.

Sure, all this makes for increased interestin fencing, but its so different from familiarball sports that many have questions andwonder if its for them. The fact is fencingis terrific exercise for the body and mind. Itis an excellent whole-body aerobic work-out benefiting overall balance and coordina-tion as well. The physical rigor of upperbody for blade-work and lower-body forfoot-work ensures this. The strategy of thebout keeps the mind sharp and focused aswell. Additionally, as an individual sport,fencers can progress at their own pace yetexperience camaraderie and learn sports-manship in the club setting.

The modern sport of fencing has threeweapons. The foil, descended from the

short or court sword of the late 17th cen-tury, the Epee, descended from the duelingrapier, and the Saber, originally a cavalrysword. Each of the weapons and theirplay retain some of their unique character-istics in their modern sport forms, but mostof the foot-work and blade-work are verysimilar.

An aspect of sport fencing that survivedfrom when the weapons were sharp andused to settle matters of honor is the respectand courtesy expected of its participants.

Bouts are regulated closely for infractionsof the rules and bad behavior. At competi-

Thunder, Sweat, and Steeltions, fencers are required to salute eachother, the bout director and the audience.They must shake hands at the end of a bout.

Perhaps for all or some of the aspectsmentioned above, many major universitiespursue fencers for scholarships and partici-pation on their teams. Fencers as a grouptend to have higher GPAs than other collegesports where fencing programs exist.

But perhaps the single most attractivething about fencing is that it is incredibly

exciting, good fun. It is never boring ortedious. It is impossible not to be engagedand energized when you hold a weapon andyour opponent does too, and you are expect-ed to go after one another!

Dont miss a wonderful opportunity forfun and improved health. Give fencing atry.

The score is tied at 4-4. The next touchwins. You feint convincingly to the inside,

Theyre away from home, in a place

where theres mostly rocks and desert.The environment isnt the safest andthey must be on their guard. Ask these menand women why they go there and theyll tellyou that they are proud to serve their country.These are our soldiers serving in Afghanistan.

Being so far away, packages from homeare something specialeven if that homeisnt the one theyre from, but one thats adopt-ed them.

"The Port Morris United Methodist Church[Landing] responds to needs and our AdoptSoldiers Program [boxes] sent to U.S. Soldiersin the Middle East is one of our most importantresponses. Weve received responses fromsome of the soldiers, and our boxes are greatlyappreciated and treasured. The soldiers are farfrom home and in a hostile environment.These expressions of support and love fromback home mean a lot to them. I think, it istremendously important for churches to getinvolved in supporting our servicemen andwomen, said Rev. Nick Petrov, pastor of thechurch.

The idea came about a few years ago whena parishioner, who teaches English

Composition online, had a number of service-men and women taking classes while

deployed. They used their writing assign-ments as a way to share what was happening intheir lives. It became clear that these soldierscould use a little pick me up. Soon namesand addresses of student soldiers or the namesof soldiers whose spouses or parents tookclasses, found their way to the church inLanding. In addition, the church has also sup-ported a soldier with ties to it, ToddMcDonald, who has done two tours of duty,one in Iraq and one in Afghanistan.

The church is small, so it adopts a fewdeployed soldiers at a time. Soldier boxesgo out about every six weeks. They have itemssuch as packs of peanuts, gum, Ramen soup,crackers, beef jerky and cookies. Oreos are apopular request. Inside the boxes are some-times put cards and crafts made by the childrenof the church or holiday cards signed by theparishioners.

Also, with each box goes a letter, the firstintroducing the soldier to the church and PortMorris community. For soldiers overseasamid rocks and heat, the idea of being adoptedby a community that sounds a little like its theMayberry of New Jersey, brings a smile.

When theres a party, sometimespeople say that they wish the funwould never end. This LaborDay weekend theres a party thats been

going on for 30 years. Its Lead East, theworlds biggest fifties party.

For that weekend, poodle skirts, leatherjackets, and greased hair come back in style.Classic cars, B movies, and doo wop are thenorm. The fun happens at the ParsippanyHilton from August 29th September 2nd.

The man who started it all, and has keptthe party going all these years, is TerryCook of Appleton Productions in LongValley. Recently, Cook took a fewmoments to talk about how Lead East

began, the 30th anniversary, and why hethinks the party just keeps going and going.

When we started, I wanted to do some-thing to make the event more than just sit-ting around looking at cars. For entertain-ment, we put up PA speakers, wired themtogether at the Flemington fairgrounds andhired a DJ to spin oldies music and make"dedications". Music over the PA at carshows did not exist at that time (1983). Wehired the Ringoes drive in theater andshowed Rebel Without a Cause to old cars

only, plus a zombie movie. We hired theBellmonts (without Dion) to perform on

stage during the day, and a 50's band to playat our sock hop at the host hotel. Wearranged with the local burger joint downthe road from the Flemington fairgrounds tohave girls on skates serving the cars that

pulled in, and generally, turned it immedi-ately into more of a festival, said Cook.

The lead of Lead East refers to cus-tomized cars. Last year, 1,800 restored clas-sic 1972 and earlier cars, customs, lowrid-ers, and street rods were on hand. The par-ticipants came from 22 states and Canada.

Cook will tell you that when it comes tocars, he has no favorite . Recently, hes beenbuilding replica Bugattis and Delahayesbecause hes seen all the normal Americancars for the past 60 years at events and has

developed a passion for French Coachbuiltcars from 1936-39. He feels those are themost beautiful cars ever built. I'm intostyling, not speed or horsepower, he said.

But, as Cook notes, Lead East is aboutmore than cars. It celebrates the 1950s.The music, sock hops, proms, and B moviesof the era come to the Parsippany Hilton forthat one weekend. The Hilton parking lotbecomes a drive-in theater at night.Spectators walking through the lots can seethe hangouts , of those showing their cars.

Car clubs and groups of friends showingcars will claim a spot as theirs and decorate

Lead East: 30 years Celebrating the 1950sit. It is things like this that contribute to theevents longevity.

Most car shows have no entertainmentand are held in dirt fields. Ours is held in afirst class paved facility with tons of enter-

tainment for the entire family, said Cook.With the variety of entertainment, theres

something for everyone. So, whats Cooksfavorite?

Saturday night when everything is infull swing, the drive- in movies, the outdoorstage, two indoor stages, cars circling the

hotel and cruising. Most car events are fin-ished by 4pm in the afternoon; ours goes tillmidnight, then people dance in the parkinglot till the sun comes up! he said.

For the 30th anniversary, Cook says

therell be more bandsand of course,more fun.

Reflecting on this event which seems tohave survived the test of time, Cook shared, We are so fortunate to live in a countrywhere we can create and enjoy an event of

Outdoor Sunday ServiceRemembers 9-11

By Elsie Walker

We invite and encourage the

community to come, whetherdirectly or indirectly touched[by the events of 9-11]. Were rememberingthe human loss and sufferinglets gettogether and remember.be side by sidewith anyone that was affected , said Rev.Tom Kinter.

On Sunday, September 9th at 9:30am,the Stanhope United Methodist Church at#2 Route 183 in Netcong, will be holdingits annual outdoor service remembering 9-11.

Kinter, Pastor of the church, explainedthe significance of the service being out-doors.

I think the outdoor service is a visual ofthe losspeople were forced outside , hesaid, in recalling how people had to flee thebuildings. [So]on a given Sunday, wemake the sacrifice of leaving our beautifulsanctuary to sit on the lawn.

Kinter went on to note that a service likethis is also a way to teach children whattook place on that day. He likened it to whatthe Israelites did after crossing the Jordan.They made sure there was something in

place that would educate generations aboutthe trials that were endured.

However, the service is not only aboutloss, it is also about life. During the service,a baby is being baptized.

Even when crisis strikes, we go on liv-ing. God is with us in life and death, saidKinter. The service is a reminder of that.

After the service, the community is invit-ed to stay for a picnic sponsored by thechurchs United Methodist Mens group.

In the case of inclement weather, theservice will be held indoors.

The little guy in the picture was the one baptizedat a previous year's service and with him is hisgreat grandmother.

Lead East is about classic cars, the 1950s, and having fun.

this nature. God has been good to us. Mostof these cars are not legal to drive on thehighways of Europe due to their strict laws.As for the event, I just felt that car enthusi-asts deserved far better in terms of enter-tainment than sitting in a lawn chair withnothing to do.

For excellent work that is guaranteed,fair prices, honesty and the best col-lection around for Coke memorabilia-, visit Budd Lake Transmission Auto Repairfor automobile repairs and services.

Celebrating its five year anniversary thisApril 2013, Budd Lake Transmission AutoRepair on Route 46 in Budd Lake, doesmore than fix or replace transmissions.From brakes to oil changes, customers havebeen relying on the local auto shop for qual-ity service.

Working on cars since he was 15 yearsold, owner Charlie Wohlleb refers to hisshop in Budd Lake as the best transmissionshop in the world.

Wohlleb says We give fair prices; excel-

lent work at a fair price. We guarantee ourwork. We treat people how they would liketo be treated. We do it right the first timewith proper diagnostics without guessing onparts to find the problem.

We are honest, continues Wohlleb.We are upfront with the people. We backall our work with guarantees.

Five Years of Quality Work at Budd Lake Auto ShopThrough experience, Wohlleb knows

how to run the best shop.Wohllebs father had owned a shop in

Andover since 1953.Id been working with my father my

whole life, says Wohlleb. I did basicrepairs. I couldnt take transmission out atfirst because I couldnt reach the lift,

he recalls. But he started out with chang-ing tires, oil changes and basic repairs.

Wohlleb attended Sussex Vo-Tech for adegree in Automotive Technology and in2003 opened a shop in Sparta. In 2008,Wohlleb decided he needed another shop sothat is when he opened Budd LakeTransmission Auto Repair.

I needed a second location, says

Wohlleb. Budd Lake, It seemed like a goodplace to open up a business. People seemedto be friendly. Wohlleb ran the two shopsuntil Nov. 2011, when he closed his shop inSparta after the landlord requested his prop-erty back.

Although the shop closed in Sparta,many of Wohllebs customers have fol-lowed him to Budd Lake for continued serv-ices on their vehicles.

I have a good customer base; loyal cus-tomers, he says. One customer, Ive been

working on her car for 32 years, since I wasa young guy, he recalls. She is 80 years

old.she always says to me, I rememberyou when you were a little kid.

Working on cars runs through Wohllebsfamily. Wohllebs son Danny, 23, workswith me now and has been for the past nine

years.It is one job Wohlleb truly enjoys.I just like working on cars; I like the

people, meeting with people, working forpeople, he says.

At Budd Lake Transmission AutoRepair, work is done by three certifiedmechanics. Work includes all auto repairand services such as brakes, shocks,exhausts, oil changes, engine repairs and airconditioning work.

Wohlleb also offers rental car service

through Mirage Rental Cars, which he alsoowns.

Homeowners continue to seek creative ways toreduce monthly expenses while being more envi-ronmentally conscious. Knowing where your

money is being spent gives you a better understanding ofhow and where to make efficiencies.

The United States Department of Energy says thathousehold heating and cooling accounts for around 54percent of the average American's utility bill. Savingscould be achieved through proper equipment maintenanceand upgrades. However, the Department of Energyexplains that an energy efficient furnace alone will nothave as great an impact on energy bills as using a whole-house approach.

Consider a home's wall infrastructure. If traditionalinsulation material has been installed, replacing it with amodern alternative can help alleviate the high monthlyenergy costs.

Stop-gap solutions such as caulking and sealing cracksmight not be sufficient. However, spray foam insulation,like that available from innovators Icynene, provides acomplete solution sealing any gaps that would allow heat-ing and cooling to escape.

Understanding what eco-friendly solutions are avail-able to help you save money can be found atwww.icynene.com.

Sometimes, those playing a tough soft-ball game might say they could use afew prayers. However, for someteams playing this summer, their gamesalways started with a prayer.

The North Jersey Christian SoftballLeague just finished another season. Madeup of two league levels, Fellowship andCompetitive, the teams consist of people ofa variety of ages and occupations. Thisyears competitive league champ was theteam from Christ Episcopal Church in BuddLake. However, it was another story at theend-of-season charity tournament.Defeating Christ Episcopal Church to win

tournament was the Valley View Chapelteam from Long Valley.However, the league isnt all about win-

ning; its about fellowship, faith, and out-reach. Gary Lieberman, the League com-missioner since 2001, plays for the HolyTrinity Lutheran team. He talked aboutwhat the league is all about:

When I took over as LeagueCommissioner, I introduced a couple of newideas. I appointed a League Clergy Liaisonwho was the pastor from Holy Faith

Lutheran Church. [The liaison] interfaceswith the clergy from the churches in the

league and garners their support. I figuredif we had the support of the clergy, theleague would flourish, and it has. The sec-ond thing I introduced was to take a portion

of the annual league fees and designate it asa league benevolence earmarked to help agood Christian cause, one that was notspecifically tied to denomination. We alter-nate between sending our benevolence toMorris Habitat for Humanity and a few ofthe food pantries in the area. I feel it is veryimportant for the league to be more than justabout softball. Yes, we do gather in Hisname and we share some really good fel-lowship, but I also want to help othersthrough the league. The current league

Clergy[Liason} is Pastor Neil Tolboomfrom Morristown United Methodist Church.Pastor Neil is a former Wall StreetExecutive who left the business to become apastor. He has such a great story and is ahuge Christian sports supporter.

For many who get on the field, it is atime to just unwind and have funno mat-ter your skill level. Thats where theFellowship League comes into play. JoeWeston, captain of the Mt. OliveCommunity Bible Church team talked

about the two levels of play in the league:The competitive league is comprised of

all guys who grew up playing softball.They play hard and aim to win. At the endof the regular playing season, they haveplayoffs. The team that wins the playoffgames takes a trophy back to its church.Contrast this against the coed league -thatsus - which requires three women to be onthe field and in the batting line-up at all

times. The guys are of varying levels ofskill and experience. The challenge is to getenough players to consistently show up forgames. Its a rare occurrence for a coedteam [ Fellowship League], to have enoughplayers for the coach to limit participationonly to those who display a minimal stan-

Churches: Play Ball!

The softball team from Valley View Chapel won the 2012 NJCSL Charity Tournament.

dard of ability. So, the only recruiting requirementis that you can swing a bat, not that you necessari-ly can hit the ball.

Another thing about the North Jersey ChristianSoftball League is the variety of people on theteams. The ages are from teen up. Age doesntseem to matter; its the love of the game that counts.For example, Commissioner Lieberman, who alter-nates between pitching and playing second base)shared that he just celebrated his 61st birthday and,I have no plans on retiring anytime soon.

Robbie Post, co-captain of the Stanhope UMC-Port Morris UMC, is 73. Shes been playing sincethe team started a few years ago and shared aboutsome of the fun this season brought:

This year we didn't get to play full gamesbecause we were short on teammates. However,we were thrilled to get to play fun games with theother churches. It was so rewarding to find pleasantpeople and amazing sports. We got to play all dif-ferent positions and found that to be a learningexperience.

At the end of each season, a charity tournamentis held. This year, that tournament was held atSmith Field in Parsippany. Five teams competed:Morris Plains Presbyterian Church, Market StreetMission (Morristown), Grace, The Church on TheMount (Netcong-Rockaway), Valley View Chapel

(Long Valley) and Christ Episcopal Church (Budd

Lake).Each team played four games as part of a round

robin format. Valley View Chapel had a perfect daygoing undefeated during round robin play and thenwon the championship game over Christ Episcopal9 - 3. No easy feat as the tournament started 8:30am and ended seven hours later, with most of itplayed in 90+ degree heat, said Mark Ruiz, EventsCommissioner who plays on the Morris PlainsPresbyterian Church team.

Monies received from the tournament go to thecharity of the winners choice. This year it will goto outreaches support by Valley View Chapel.

The fellowship shared by the league partici-pants is of the utmost importance to me. I amthrilled when the Christian spirit shines in each ofour games. Its not about winning; its all aboutgathering and sharing. And if we can do some goodand help some folks, then all the better. Throughsoftball many churches have attracted members,helped heal those who are hurting and, actually, ina few cases, had players go on to join the clergy. Afew years ago, I was doing some electrical workand called for an inspection. The inspector pitchedfor one of the teams. So, you never know whenyoull run into a league member, said Lieberman.

A

s we head into the heart of the presidential electionseason one has to stop and wonder about what has

transpired over the previous four years.When Barack Obama took office we were promisedchange. Unprecedented change. After 8 years of George WBush we were told things were so bad that we neededsweeping changes. When Bush left office things were onthe decline. But Bush who along with the Republicans wenton a spending spree and raising the debt was incidental towhat the Democrats have done the past 6 years.

We have heard for almost 4 years that this is Bushsfault. When does the leader of the free world take responsi-bility for his failed policies and actions? Obama is like achild blaming everyone else except himself for his failures.

If the Democrats listened to Bush a lot of this crisismight have been avoided.

The White House (Under Bush) Warned Congress AboutFannie Mae Freddie Mac 17 Times In 2008 about the hous-ing crisis and that something had to be done.

April 2001: The (Bush) Administrations FY02 budgetdeclares that the size of Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac is apotential problem, because financial trouble of a largeGSE could cause strong repercussions in financial markets,

affecting Federally insured entities and economic activity.May 2002: The President calls for the disclosure andcorporate governance principles contained in his 10-pointplan for corporate responsibility to apply to Fannie Mae andFreddie Mac. (OMB Prompt Letter to OFHEO, 5/29/02)

April 2008: President Bush urges Congress to pass themuch-needed legislation and modernize Fannie Mae andFreddie Mac. [There are] constructive things Congress cando that will encourage the housing market to correct quick-ly by helping people stay in their homes. (PresidentGeorge W. Bush, Meeting With Cabinet, the White House,4/14/08).

May 2008: President Bush issues several pleas toCongress to pass legislation reforming Fannie Mae andFreddie Mac before the situation deteriorates further.

In September of 2003 Democrat Barney Franks said,These two entities Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac are

Voters Need to Get Educatedand Not Listen to the Liberal Media!

not facing any kind of financial crisis, said RepresentativeBarney Frank of Massachusetts, the ranking Democrat onthe Financial Services Committee stated. The more peopleexaggerate these problems, the more pressure there is on

these companies, the less we will see in terms of affordablehousing. Once again Liberals more concerned with givingsomething away for nothing than doing what is right.

You have to also remember that in 2008 and into the firstterm of Obama the Democrats controlled it all, House,Senate and in 2009 the Presidency.

The National debt under Obama was at a record $1.42trillion in 2009 more than 3 times of that under Bush in hisfirst year.

Unemployment is worse than when Bush left office. OurCountries standing with other nations is at an all time low.

I am sorry to have to say that the majority of voters areuneducated and listen to what they hear from a media thatprotects Obamas failed polices and does no research for thefacts just like the above mentioned on the housing crisiswarning from George W Bush.

Because the media protects Obama and his failures hecan run a campaign on scare tactics and lies to deflect fromthe real issues and how he will solve the mess he worsened.

The American people need to wake up and educatethemselves with the truth. Go online and search out all thedetails on Obama Care and read some of bill. You will seehow it affects you today if passed. Go research all the

money Obama invested in failed alternative energy compa-nies and we will never see.

He talks about Romney and Bain Capital how Romneyclosed plants and cost jobs. What about Obama and GM(Government Motors) when Obama took that over andclosed thousands of dealerships leaving thousands without

jobs.Regan asked "Are you better off than you were four

years ago? Is there more or less unemployment...than therewas four years ago?

I asked the same question today are you better off now

than before Obama took office?This is an election for the future not today. The vision

Obama has for this country has failed miserably and thereis none of the Hope and Change that he promised 4 yearago.

The only hope is that he gets voted out of office and thechange would be a change in the Obama polices before hedrags this great county down even further.

Wake up America or one day you will wake up and therewill be no America.

Edison Electrified R ral Ne Jerse To ns Decades


31/36

by Michele Guttenberger

Thomas Edison had iron operations and cement busi-nesses in Sussex County, NJ. His operations were

run on electricity. After closing his iron operationshe recouped his losses by opening a lime quarry near Spartain 1919, which became a more successful operation. Thequarry fed Edison's Portland cement operations. Edisonsaw to it that that this mining community had electricityboth at the work place and in their homes. Sparta becameone of the first rural towns in the nation to have electricity.

In March 1876, after working in Newark for five years,Thomas Edison relocated his base of operations to MenloPark, New Jersey working out of the two-story structure inrural New Jersey. In the six years at his quiet Menlo Parklocation, he with his associates obtained over 400 patents.

At Menlo Park, Edison radically improved the generator,while developing numerous other devices to measure andimprove the production and distribution of electricity. Thisrural New Jersey town was his think tank location for elec-trical R&D.

After his light bulb invention in 1879, Thomas Edisonpushed for an electrical generating station to light up thesebulbs. In the early 1880s his quest was to get cities electri-fied. He took residence close to his Pearl Street stationproject in Manhattan. His goal was to build the worlds firstcentral electrical generating station. The first block inManhattan to be lit included the offices of The New Times

and J.P. Morgan. The Pearl Street, NY generating station

sparked the electric lighting era that created power plants tocities worldwide. The widower Thomas Edison returned torural New Jersey. He married Mina Miller on February 24,

1886 and had his home, lab and factory in undevelopedWest Orange, NJ. However, except for the rural New Jerseytowns that were favored by these Edisons businesses, mostof rural America was left in the dark. Electricity developedtwo classes of American citizens: those with and those with-out electricity.

Bringing electricity to rural areas was not a profitableventure to investor-owned utilities that only operated com-pact distribution systems providing service for high cus-tomer areas strictly for profit. It would take over 50 yearsbefore the sparsely populated countryside of Americawould see electricity. For many farmers the power that gen-

erated farm work and rural family living was either manualor horse drawn. Investor owned utility companies couldnot be forced to supply rural areas with electricity. The onlyway rural America would have electricity was for the farm-ers to bear the cost of constructing their own power deliv-ery system. This was a financial impossibility for a farm-ing community. Without electricity, rural Americans weresoon lagging behind socially and economically compared tourban America.

It was not until the Great Depression that these regionalmodernization divides were finally addressed by the nation.President Franklin D. Roosevelt recognized this inequity

when executing his New Deal program for the American

people. On May 11, 1935, he signed into law executiveorder 7037 which created the Rural Electric Administration(REA). Rural towns across America would finally get elec-

tricity just like rural places in Sparta, Menlo Park, and WestOrange, New Jersey that had Edisons electricity decadesago.

Edisons original electric inventions can be seen today.Please visit The Thomas Alva Edison Museum- NPS OpenWednesday through Sunday. Hours are 9:00am - 5:00pmFee is $7.00 - 211 Main Street West Orange, NJ 07052Visit website for more detailshttp://www.nps.gov/edis/index.htm.
