hree years after the Civil War ended, on May 5, 1868, the head of an organization of Union veterans — the Grand Army of the Republic (GAR) — established Decoration Day as a time for the nation to decorate the graves of the war dead with flowers. Maj. Gen. John A. Logan declared that Decoration Day should be observed on May 30. It is believed that date was chosen because flowers would be in bloom all over the country. The first large observance was held that year at Arlington National Cemetery, across the Potomac River from Washington,

Memorial Day History Explains Origins Of National Holiday D.C. The ceremonies centered around the mourning-draped veranda of the Arlington mansion, once the home of Gen. Robert E. Lee. Various Washington officials, including Gen. and Mrs. Ulysses S. Grant, presided over the ceremonies. After speeches, children from the Soldiers’ and Sailors’ Orphan Home and members of the GAR made their way through the cemetery, strewing flowers on both Union and Confederate graves, reciting prayers and singing hymns. Local Observances Claim To Be First Local springtime trib-

utes to the Civil War dead already had been held in various places. One of the first occurred in Columbus, Miss., April 25, 1866, when a group of women visited a cemetery to decorate the graves of Confederate soldiers who had fallen in battle at Shiloh. Nearby were the graves of Union soldiers, neglected because they were the enemy. Disturbed at the sight of the bare graves, the women placed some of their flowers on those graves, as well. Today, cities in the north and the south claim to be the birthplace of Memorial Day in 1866. Both Macon and Columbus, Ga., claim the title, as well as Richmond, Va. The village of Boalsburg, Pa., claims it began there two years earlier. A stone in a Carbondale, Ill., cemetery carries the statement that the first Decoration Day ceremony took place there on April 29, 1866. Carbondale was the wartime home of Gen. Logan. Approximately 25 places have been named in connection with the ori-

gin of Memorial Day, many of them in the South where most of the war dead were buried. Ofﬁcial Birthplace Declared In 1966, congress and President Lyndon Johnson declared Waterloo, N.Y., the “birthplace” of Memorial Day. There, a ceremony on May 5, 1866, honored local veterans who had fought in the Civil War. Businesses closed and residents flew flags at half-staff. Supporters of Waterloo’s claim say earlier observances in other places were informal, not community-wide or onetime events. By the end of the 19th century, Memorial Day ceremonies were being held on May 30 throughout the nation. State legislatures passed proclamations designating the day, and the Army and Navy adopted regulations for proper observance at their facilities. It was not until after World War I, however, that the day was expanded to honor those who have died

in all American wars. In 1971, Memorial Day was declared a national holiday by an act of Congress, though it is still often called Decoration Day. It was then also placed on the last Monday in May, as were some other federal holidays. Some States Have Confederate Observances Many Southern states also have their own days for honoring the Confederate dead. Mississippi celebrates Confederate Memorial Day on the last Monday of April,

Alabama on the fourth Monday of April, and Georgia on April 26. North and South Carolina observe it on May 10, Louisiana on June 3 and Tennessee calls that date Confederate Decoration Day. Texas celebrates Confederate Heroes Day January 19 and Virginia calls the last Monday in May Confederate Memorial Day. Gen. Logan’s order for his posts to decorate graves in 1868 “with the choicest flowers of springtime” continued on page 2

Memorial Day History... continued from front page urged: “We should guard their graves with sacred vigilance. ... Let pleasant paths invite the coming and going of reverent visitors and fond mourners. Let no neglect, no ravages of time, testify to the present or to the coming generations that we have forgotten as a people the cost of a free and undivided republic.” The crowd attending the first Memorial Day ceremony at Arlington National Cemetery was approximately the same size as those that attend today’s observance, about 5,000 people. Then, as now, small American flags were placed on each grave — a tradition followed at many national cemeteries today. In recent years, the custom has grown in many families to decorate the graves of all departed

loved ones. The origins of special services to honor those who die in war can be found in antiquity. The Athenian leader Pericles offered a tribute to the fallen heroes of the Peloponnesian War more than 24 centuries ago that could be applied today to the 1.1 million Americans who have died in the nation’s wars: “Not only are they commemorated by columns and inscriptions, but there dwells also an unwritten memorial of them, graven not on stone but in the hearts of men.” To ensure the sacrifices of America’s fallen heroes are never forgotten, in December 2000, the U.S. Congress passed and the president signed into law “The National Moment of Remembrance Act,” P.L. 106-579, creating the White

House Commission on the National Moment of Remembrance. The commission’s charter is to “encourage the people of the United States to give something back to their country, which provides them so much freedom and opportunity” by encouraging and coordinating commemorations in the United States of Memorial Day and the National Moment of Remembrance. The National Moment of Remembrance encourages all Americans to pause wherever they are at 3 p.m. local time on Memorial Day for a minute of silence to remember and honor those who have died in service to the nation. As Moment of Remembrance founder Carmella LaSpada states: “It’s a way we can all help put the memorial back in Memorial Day.”

By Ann Marie Barron charming Long Valley Thrift Boutique has lowered its already bargain prices and is now offering every item in the store for $5. RACKS boutique, on Schooley’s Mountain Road near the center of Long Valley, stocks gently used clothing and accessories donated from the community – at this unbelievably low price. Many items are like new, with some still bearing their original store tags. All proceeds from sales go directly to commu-

LV Valley Thrift Boutique Offers High Fashion For $5 nity programs. “The quality of the donated clothing is really unbelievable,’’ said Michelle Barron, vice president of RACKS for the Long Valley Junior Women’s Club, which runs the boutique. “The generosity of the community is really overwhelming. They donate really pristine, beautiful, designer clothing. But we’d like so see more customers take advantage of the great selection.’’ The store stocks a huge variety of women’s and children’s clothing, includ-

ing holiday clothing, dresses, jeans, sweaters, skirts, blouses, shoes and accessories like scarves, costume jewelry and handbags. Run by the club since 2015, the store hasn’t seen a huge shopper turnout, despite the impressive selection. Barron said a handful of repeat customers sing the shop’s praises and many have worn RACKS items to the office, graduations, holiday events and even to weddings and formals. Overall, though, shopper turnout has been lower than expected, so the group

Local Dentist Lectures And Mentors Dentists Regarding Dental Implant Procedures

r. Ira Goldberg, a leading local authority on dental implants and owner of Morris County Dental Associates in Succasunna, spent four days in Colorado educating a group of 80 dentists regarding dental implants. Topics he covered included the use of CT scans, computers, and computer-generated products that allow for faster, safer and more-predictable treatments for patients. He also assisted the students in hands-on sessions where they practiced different surgical procedures related to implants. “These 80 doctors have taken it upon themselves to invest valuable resources, such as time and money, to educate themselves in a program called a MaxiCourse sponsored by the American Academy of

Implant Dentistry,” states Goldberg. “Not only is it an honor to be working with such dedicated dentists, but it’s also an honor to be asked to be part of the faculty that provides this education.” The hands-on sessions are a valuable part of the dentists’ training, too. The ability to perform different types of procedures in a controlled environment of a laboratory is instrumental to the educational process and refining clinical skills. Goldberg was asked to be part of this module due to his decades of experience with these procedures. Goldberg has been involved with computer-guided implant procedures throughout his entire career, but he has seen an exponential change within the last few years. “It’s absolutely amazing

to see how things change so quickly,” says Goldberg. “I feel lucky that I am in a position not only to have all of this technology and use it every day, but also to be able to share it with other doctors.” Goldberg holds many honors in the field of implant dentistry. He is a Diplomate of the American Board of Oral Implantology / Implant Dentistry, and a Fellow of the American Academy of Implant Dentistry. Regarding his Diplomate status, there are only a few hundred dentists world-wide that hold this distinction. Goldberg performs all phases of implant dentistry and rarely are referrals required. For a free consultation, including a free 3-D scan, call his office at 973328-1225 or visit www. MorrisCountyDentist.com.

is trying to spread the word, and is offering the $5 deal, which applies to every item in the store. “We just want more people to stop in and see for themselves all the great items we have here,’’ Barron said. “If our hours aren’t convenient, we’ll schedule a time for a private shopping session.’’ Despite the slow shopper turnout, RACKS has been a boon to the community. The club has donated 75 coats to the Morris County Foster Parent Association. Additionally, 40 suits were donated to Dress For Success Morris County, a charity that strives to empower women to achieve economic independence by providing them with support and professional attire. The club has also been a valuable resource to area families who were displaced by fire or floods in recent months. Families were invited to shop for free in the boutique. The shop stocks only the finest quality clothing donated. Clothing that isn’t deemed RACKS-worthy is donated to the nonprofit Big Brothers Big Sisters. The Junior Women’s

Millburn Woman Records Testimonies Of Terminally Ill To Pass On Memories To Loved Ones

By Ann Marie Barron erry Glass of Millburn spends most of her days piecing together priceless memories for others to leave behind. Through her brainchild, Memories Live, a not-forprofit enterprise she runs independently in Millburn, she helps terminally ill people capture their experiences, personalities and wisdom through custom-made movies they can pass on to their loved ones. “It’s an opportunity for them to leave a piece of themselves behind, to share their personal history and family history and tell about what made them into who they are,’’ says Glass, 44, who holds a bachelor’s

degree in fine arts with a focus on videography and photography and a minor in psychology from Rutgers University as well as a master’s degree in art therapy from Pratt Institute, New York City. The idea was hatched when a young mother in a neighboring community died of lung cancer, leaving behind a husband and children under the age of five. “It struck me, as a mother of young kids, that these kids would never know the sound of their mom’s voice,’’ Glass says. “They’d never know advice she had to share. I thought, ‘what if I could help people leave a piece of themselves behind?’’’ She then reached out to

a friend who had lost his mother when he was young. What did he think of the idea? He said it would have been a wonderful thing to have and he wished he’d had something like that to remember his mother by, she recalled. A few calls to area hospitals, hospices, nursing homes in the Millburn area, and Memories Live began. That was more than six years ago. Now a full-time job for Glass, most of the work gets done while her two children are in school, during evenings and on weekends. When she first began, she handed subjects a 20page questionnaire, though people told her it was a bit

Ralston Park... continued from page 7 $55,000. The park, which opened 15 years ago, closed in 2015 due to rotted wood on the playground. The park was badly in need of repair and the township did not have the money for it. “To have it shut down 14 years later came as a shock,” Teresa Finlay said. Finlay has a deep history with the park. In 1999, she would often take her son Walker to a park in Chatham, but wanted one in Mendham. She noticed this open space in the Ralston section of town and thought it would be a great addition to the township. So, after meeting with the township and fundraising, it opened in 2001. Finlay noted that many families and children went

to Ralston Park and to have it close was a blow to the community. “It’s disappointing, but I try to be positive about the future,” she said. “I’m really grateful to Amalia Duarte and the recreation commission and Warren Gisser, a Mendham Township committeeman, who have made it a priority that the maintenance of the park will be funded.” Duarte, the vice chair of the Mendham Township Recreation Commission, said she is surprised the township did not set aside money for the park, but feels encouraged that so many people are raising money to fix it. As of May 2, almost $60,000 has been raised, but there are many upcoming fundraisers for the park as

well. There is an ongoing Buy-a Brick-Campaign, where residents can purchase a brick for $200 or $350, depending on the size. Donations can also be made through the West Morris Junior Women’s Club website. www.wmjwc.org. On May 6, the Junior Women’s Club held a Kentucky Derby Party at Tranquillity Farm in Chester, where the proceeds benefitted the playground. There are three events in June. On June 3, there will be a carnival for kids up to age 13, at Wysong Park, from noon to 4 p.m., with games and a bake sale. On June 4, there is a Sunday Fun Day brunch being held at Piattino restaurant. Tickets are $125 per person or $200 per couple. There

is a four-course brunch and open bar, with a tricky tray. This event is being organized by Jennifer Dubeck, For more details and tickets, contact: jenniferdubeck@ gmail.com. Lastly, on June 17, there is the ninth annual Patri-

ots 5K Race & Kids’ Fun Run, organized by the recreation commission. Residents can sign up at www. practicehard.com to run or walk the 5K or register young children for the Fun Run. Anyone can be a race sponsor - $100 minimum

for businesses and $50 per family. For details on how to become a sponsor, contact Recreation Commission Vice Chair Amalia Duarte or send an e-mail to patriotsrace@gmail.com.

Ethan’s Ninja Warriors Fight Cancer With A Walk And Connect With Team Impact

By Anastasia Marchese he Geller family, residents of Mendham, have had a lot of experience with the programs available to pediatric cancer patients in New Jersey. Ethan, who is currently in second grade was diagnosed with brain cancer as a first grader and underwent brain surgery, six weeks of radiation and about 54 weeks of chemotherapy. The Valerie Fund has really been a driving force in helping him and his family navigate the many facets of cancer treatment and whole patient care. Ethan’s mom, Lisa Gellar, explained how the fund had worked on behalf of their family during his treatment by providing an Educational Liaison who met with her and the teachers to navigate the complex-

ities of Ethan’s education while he was battling cancer. “The educational liaison came with me to meetings at school and helped to educate the teachers,” she said. “The Child Life Specialist came into school to educate his first grade class and again this year. His friends don’t have to wonder what is going on with Ethan or look at him like he is weird.” She credited the open communication provided by Valerie Fund liaisons with having eased the situation and helped make school life easier to navigate. According to their mission statement, The Valerie Fund provides “support for the comprehensive health care of children with cancer and blood disorders.” They do this by providing care

close to home, with seven cancer centers at major hospitals. In 1976 when the founders, Sue and Ed Goldstein lost their 9-year old daughter Valerie, to cancer, they needed to travel into the city for treatment which is much more difficult for the family to support the child and one another. The Valerie Fund also considers the whole patient. Their philosophy is “that to truly heal the children with whose care we are entrusted, we must treat them emotionally, socially, and developmentally, as well as medically.” They also provide support services for the entire family. “When a child is a patient at a Valerie Fund Center, a staff of social workers, counselors, psychologists,

and child-life specialists enfold the child and the family in a blanket of ongoing, individualized care. We firmly believe this approach is the most effective way to fight childhood disease.” Every year the Valerie Fund has “The Walk” to raise funds for all the work they do. Last year Ethan’s

family fundraised and attended. Their team name is Ethan’s Ninja Warriors, and everyone proudly wore their black t-shirts or tank tops showing their support for Ethan the day of the walk and raised more money than any other single team and also had the largest numbers of participants on

their team, with 131 members. Hey were able to raise $53,321.00 last year on behalf of the Valerie Fund. Unfortunately Ethan was not up to enjoying the day fully. “He was pretty sick last year for the walk,” remembers his mother, “We were so overwhelmed last

The walk is not the only team Ethan is a part of. Ethan and his family recently went to family camp at Camp Hole in the Wall Gang Camp in Connecticut. The camp was started by Paul Newman for seriously ill children and their families back in 1988. While there, the family was put in contact with another great organization, Team Impact. According to the Team Impact website, “We improve the quality of life for children facing life-threatening and chronic illnesses through the power of team. We do this by drafting these courageous kids with local college athletic teams. Team IMPACT children are drafted onto the team and become an official member of the team from Draft Day through to graduation. The

Mendham Business Group To Hold Sidewalk Sale

Ethan’s Ninja Warriors... child joins the athletic team and the student athletes join the child’s support team.” “They match up children with critical illnesses with sports teams, adds his mom. Colleges sign up to participate. Ethan and his twin brothers were signed up by the Fairleigh-Dickenson University (FDU) football team and signed an honorary National Letter of Intent on April 23. “They write Ethan letter’s and team members came to visit Ethan when he was in the hospital,” explained Geller. The Gellers have found themselves connected to many wonderful organizations that have made navigating through Ethan’s battle with brain cancer less isolating.

he Mendham Business Association plans to hold its annual Sidewalk Sale in June in the Mendham Village Shopping Center and Uptown. The sale will take place

on Fri., June 2 and Sat., June 3, in the Mendham Village Shopping Center and Uptown in Mendham. Businesses participating include Mendham Jewelers, Fashions to fit the American Girl Dolls and

Social Graces among others. A complete list will appear on the Mendham Business Association website: www.mendhambusiness. com. Stores in the shopping center and uptown will be open during business hours.

The Voice Semi-Finalist To Perform Benefit At MPAC

By Maryanne Christiano-Mistretta rendan Fletcher, a semi-finalist on NBC’s “The Voice” last year, is lined up to perform at Mayo Performing Arts Center in Morristown on Mon., June 12. All proceeds will support the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society. It wasn’t too long ago that Fletcher was performing at a small bar across the street from MPAC. He’d pass the theatre, look up at the marquee and wonder if he’d ever play “a place like that.” One year later, it’s a dream come true for singer, guitarist, songwriter, Fletcher, who is now touring all over the United States, and in other countries.

Fletcher grew up in Randolph and is now living in Ridgewood, Queens. While his parents weren’t musicians, they were no strangers to good music. Bruce Springsteen, Jackson Browne, The Eagles, and Simon & Garfunkel were always played on the home stereo system. But the main reason Fletcher got into music was because of his older brother Steve, who performed in high school bands. Steve gave Fletcher the opportunity to play rhythm guitar in the band. Each year the brothers were in the high school’s Battle of the Bands. “It [performing] was a consistent in my life,” said Fletcher. When Fletcher went off to college at Boston Uni-

versity, he no longer had his brother as his support system. “I had to do it on my own,” he said. And for the first time, he found his voice. With Steve, he played heavier music like hard rock and punk. Once that got out of his system, he went on the singer/songwriter kick. At college he studied film and television, but when he came back to Randolph, he’d play gigs at local venues doing cover songs. When Fletcher got an internship in New York at a writing room, writing scripts, it wasn’t his true passion – music was. “The internship wasn’t what I expected,” said Fletcher, who realized he had to do something if he didn’t want to do film.

That’s when he decided to pursue music seriously. In Philadelphia auditions were being held for “The Voice” – a television show where the strongest vocalists from across the country compete with one another for a chance to win a recording contract. While Fletcher stood in line with thousands of other hopefuls, he heard everyone around him practicing. He said, “I think I’m okay, but I heard people in front of me singing Etta James better than Etta James.” After waiting five hours, he was chosen for an audition with 10 other people. Each person got to sing one minute of a song. Fletcher sang “Jolene” by Ray LaMontagne. He was asked to sing an-

other song, then got called back for another audition and got the break most musicians can only fantasize about. He became one of the 11th season semi-final-

ists. Since then Fletcher’s rendition of Cyndi Lauper’s “True Colors” hit No. 2 on the iTunes overcontinued on page 17

By Ann Marie Barron ow, it has become even easier for New Jersey residents to safely and anonymously dispose of dangerous prescription medications, thanks to a new interactive website and 24-hour drop-off locations. Gov. Chris Christie recently announced the launching of a new interactive component to ReachNJ, the state’s drug addiction one-stop website, that helps residents to easily locate the nearest collection sites for Project Medicine Drop. “Unused or expired prescription medications are a public safety issue, leading to accidental poisoning, overdose or abuse,’’ said the governor’s proclamation. “The majority of teenagers who abuse prescription drugs get them from family and friends – and the home medicine cabinet.’’ Project Medicine Drop is the 24-hour-a-day, sevendays-a-week prescription drug collection program run by the state Department of Law and Public Safety, Division of Consumer Affairs. Project Medicine Drop

boxes are installed indoors, affixed to the floor or wall in a secure area within police department headquarters, within view of law enforcement officers. Residents can drop off unwanted prescriptions for free and anonymously at more than 212 stationary drop boxes and 148 mobile drop boxes around the state in police stations, sheriff’s offices and military installations. Residents can visit www.reachnj.gov/medicine-disposal to access an interactive map, which easily helps identify the closest drug disposal location. Project Medicine Drop secured drop boxes are located at the headquarters of local police departments. Consumers from anywhere in New Jersey can visit the boxes seven days a week, to drop off unneeded and expired medications - and keep them away from those at risk of abusing them. The drop boxes accept solid pharmaceuticals such as pills, capsules, patches, inhalers and pet medications. They cannot accept syringes or liquids. For the hours of availability and other information, contact the police

I’m very blessed to have them.” Still inspired by the same music he listened to growing up, Fletcher

said, “Bob Dylan and Neil Young write such beautiful, meaningful lyrics. They have made a career that says, ‘I never really compromised who I was.’ That’s an admirable trait.” As of now, Fletcher is recording an EP which should be out before the show at MPAC and wants to keep writing. “I want to stay creative and pursue the

Experience Drills, Cannon Firings, And Musket Shootings

ivil War Weekend, a unique two-day event sponsored by the Second New Jersey Brigade and the Morris County Park Commission, plan to present the lives of Civil War soldiers more vividly than textbooks on June 10 and June 11 in Morristown. Re-enactors will lead activities throughout Historic Speedwell’s eight-acre site from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Visitors will step onto the battlefield and witness musket, artillery, and bayonet drills, daily mail call and marching drills. Soldiers proudly play period instruments as they go into battle. At the soldier’s camp, daily life is recreated with authentic cooking, dress and setup.

A Civil War-era Signal Corps group will accurately demonstrate how important messages were sent between units using colorful flags to send signals. Visitors will witness a demonstration of a recreated Civil War telegraph station. “The telegraph played an essential role throughout the Civil War,’’ said Mark Sutherland, manager of Historic Sites for the Morris County Park Commission. “Traveling telegraph wagons followed the troops into the field and relayed important messages. It has been stated that more than 15,000 miles of military telegraph lines were constructed during the Civil War.’’ “The technological innovation of the telegraph

changed the way wars were fought, and also the way people lived,” Sutherland said. Historic Speedwell is the ‘Birthplace of the Telegraph.’ Tours are available of The Factory Building, a national historic landmark, where Samuel F.B. Morse and Alfred Vail worked to perfect the telegraph and where is was first publicly demonstrated in 1838. Admission to Civil War Weekend is $7 for adults, $6 for seniors, $5 for children age 4 to 16, and free for children under age 4. For more information and directions to Historic Speedwell in Morristown, visit www. morrisparks.net, or call 973285-6550.

Memories To Loved Ones... continued from page 8 anywhere within a twohour radius of her Millburn home. She funds her enterprise through grants, donations and an annual fundraiser, which took place last month. There is no charge for her service. When she sits down with a subject, usually in their home, the conversation is wide-ranging. “We’ll start talking about grandparents, memories of grandparents,’’ Glass explains. “Then, we’ll talk about their childhood, fond memories, schooling, college and advice for high school, advice for them to share about college, about your first job interview. We touch on every stage of life. Then, I’ll ask them about

what makes them, them – favorite foods, season, music, holiday - all the things that mold them into who they are.’’ Glass then spends hours combining the interview footage with music and family photos, creating a meaningful movie. The final product is delivered to the family in DVD format. The job can be at times painful and emotionally draining, she admits. “It affects me if I’m sitting across the camera from someone my age who has kids my kids’ age,’’ she says. “But, I walk into these people’s homes as a stranger and I leave as a friend. It’s really rewarding, and people are so grateful that the good outweighs the

bad.’’ Glass is hoping to acquire some funding through a contest she entered with a local Keller Williams Real Estate Agency, which is offering to donate proceeds from their 100th home sale to a local charity. Twelve non-profits are competing for $20,000 in prize money, to be divided among the top vote getters in an online contest. To vote for Memories Live, visit sueadler. com.
