Memorial Day History Explains Origins Of National Holiday
T
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, 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, chil-
dren 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 tributes 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 ti-
tle, 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 origin 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 one-
time 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” 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

Memorial Day History... continued from page 2 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 “encour-
age 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.”

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 chil-
dren 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 too much.
“Now I have one page of questions for them,’’ she says. “I have all those other questions in my head, so it’s not so overwhelming.’’ Her clients’ average age is 55, and the youngest subject she’s filmed was 22 years old. “I really only offer this to adults,’’ she says, noting that it is most valuable to those who are leaving behind very young family members. “It’s for the child who didn’t’ get to know their parents,’’ she says. “They may see parts of their parents in themselves that they might not have been able to see, a dimple, the way they like their coffee; it will hopefully fill some kind of void, preserve a memory. Those of us who are so blessed to have our loved ones here take it for granted.’’ July will mark her seventh year in business. To date, she’s filmed more than 130 individuals. The only requirement is for a subject to have a life-limiting, terminal illness. “I don’t ask for a doc-
tor’s note,’’ she says. “I just go with ‘”honesty is the best policy.’’’ Glass said she’s willing to travel anywhere within a two-hour 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
Roofing
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.’’
LUIGI
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. continued on page 5

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 mon-
ey, to be divided among the top vote getters in an online contest. To vote for Memories Live, visit sueadler. com. Anyone interested in having a movie made, should call 646-245-1698; email Glass at Kerry. glass@memorieslive.org; or visit the website, www. memorieslive.org.

More Than A Century Later, Electric Cars Come Full Circle At Thomas Edison National Park
By Jennifer Walkup brand new electric car charging station opened at Thomas Edison National Park in West Orange on April 19. More than a century after inventor Thomas Edison parked his own 1914 Detroit Electric car at his factory on Main Street, a new technological innovation was implemented with the installation of this electric car charging station. This project was made possible by a partnership between the National Park Service, the National Park Foundation, the US Energy Department and BMW. One hundred electric charging stations will be installed in national parks throughout the country. “The partnership between The National Park Service, National Park Foundation, BMW, and the Department of Energy made this possible,” said Thomas Ross, National Park Service superintendent. “This will allow electric cars to travel to and around national parks.” The partnership aims to get more electric vehicles into national parks, rather than relegating electric vehicles to urban areas where charge stations are more easily accessible. This project fosters electric vehicle travel and will raise awareness about electric vehicle technology and plug-in electric vehicles for millions of park visitors. This project will reduce air pollution in national parks and gateway communities. “We are interested in supporting both electric cars as well as having a
positive impact on the environment,” said Ross. “Having the charging stations in the parks will support that. Some parks are many miles of roadways. At this time, we do not have the infrastructure to support electric vehicles in those places. This will change that.” The electric vehicle charging station in West Orange is located in the laboratory complex’s visitor parking area. The program’s first charging station installation was chosen for the Thomas Edison National Park because of Edison’s inventive nature and his work with electric cars. “We were proud to launch the national program here in West Orange,” said Ross. “We have two level-two charging stations at the laboratory complex on Main Street. There is a great historical connection. Thomas Edison was very interested in electric cars. It really has come full circle.” In the mid-1890s, Edison worked on an electric storage battery for use in electric cars. The park has three of his electric cars in its collection, two Detroit electric vehicles from 1913 and a loco mobile from 1905 which was converted from steam to electric. At Glenmont, Edison’s home, which is also open to visitors, Edison’s own original car charging station resides in the garage. This charging station was built by Edison in 1904. “We want to offer the charging station to visitors of the park but also to our community in West Orange,” said Ross. “We worked closely with the
town and with the West Orange environmental committee as well.” Most stations are two to three miles away in Montclair and near Turtleback Zoo. This new charging station is right in the center of town on Main Street and also near route 280. Courtesy of BMW, the charging station at the Thomas Edison site will operate for free for the first six months. The program will continue to add electric car charging stations throughout national parks during the next two years. They will determine where to install the charging stations based on the strength and proximity of local electric car markets, the location of other nearby charging stations, as well as various considerations regarding the landscape of the parks. This partnership supports the National Park Foundation’s Centennial Campaign for America’s National Parks which aims to strengthen and enhance the future of America’s natural, historical and cultural treasures for the next 100 years. The mission aspires to do so by protecting America’s treasured places, connecting everyone from all backgrounds with the country’s incomparable natural landscapes, rich history, vibrant culture, as well as inspiring lifelong relationships with national parks, and creating the next great generation of park visitors and stewards. The NPS is responsible for the stewardship of America’s natural treasures and historic sites. Innovation, entrepreneurship and
technology are key parts of its mission and story. Modern transportation produces emissions that affect clear skies and scenic views and make it challenging for the NPS to fulfill its mission

Two Millburn Soccer Stars Shine Brightly In Annual Showcase
By Cheryl Conway wo students from Millburn High School, who play for the U16-17 New York Red Bulls Academy team, finished on top at a recent Major League Soccer showcase and were recognized last month during a New York Red Bulls Game. Junior Ben Bograd and sophomore Scotty Taylor were congratulated Sat., April 22, when they stepped onto the field with their team during half-time of the NY Red Bulls vs. Columbus Crew professional soccer game held at the NY Red Bulls stadium in Harrison. Their youth academy team had finished in third place at the Generation Adidas Cup held April 5-16 at FC Dallas Stadium in Frisco, Texas. The GA Cup is an annual
elite youth competition run by Major League Soccer for all U-17 MLS academy teams. The tournament focuses on player development and showcases the best teams in the country and the future stars of MLS. This year was the first time the NY Red Bulls Academy team made it to the semis in the top division championship bracket. The U16-17 NY Red Bull Academy played in the semis on April 13, tied the game 1-1 against Flamengo, Brazil, but then lost in overtime during the penalty shoot-out. The NY Red Bulls went on to play a consolation game on April 15 against Independiente de Valle, Equador; that game also ended in a tie score, 1-1, but then the Red Bulls won in penalty kicks, plac-

ing them in third place overall in the tournament. Bograd and Taylor were excited to be playing such high level soccer against teams throughout the world. “It was amazing to play high level international teams; we seldom have such special opportunities,” says Bograd, 17, center back who has been playing soccer since he was three and on travel since he was seven. “I really liked being able to play international teams because we don’t usually get to do that,” says Taylor, 15, center forward who has been playing the sport since he was two. “It was a great experience that helped the development of my game in various ways.” In his fourth year playing with the NY Red Bulls, Bo-
grad enjoys soccer for the challenge and reward. “I love how fast the sport plays,” says Bograd. “It requires you to always be mentally and physically active. You need to be constantly moving off the ball, no matter if you have the ball or not. I also love the mental side of the game; it is very cerebral. Anticipat-
ing plays and reading the movements of attackers to win balls are challenging but very rewarding.” Playing for the U-16’s last year in the GA Cup “really helped me going into this year’s tournament,” says Bograd, who was this year’s team captain and was “tasked with organizing our defense.
“We faced some extremely skilled and physically superior teams, so it was my job to make sure we stayed compact and didn’t allow teams to play through us,” says Bograd. “Also having played in GA Cup the year before, I tried to help some of the guys who may have been nervous continued on page 13

playing in high stakes international games for the first time.” Although they did not win it all, Bograd was pleased with the team’s accomplishment. “The moment we beat Club Tijuana and found out that Toronto had tied their game, causing us to advance to the semifinals, was thrilling,” says Bograd. “It was improbable but we played really hard and it was awesome to be the only American team to advance. Also entering the FC Dallas’ Toyota Stadium for the semifinals match was a great feeling. It made the game even more exciting, because for many of us it was the first time playing in a professional stadium.” Bograd says “I couldn’t be happier with how we did. We played as a cohesive unit and exceeded most everyone’s expectations. We had a number of new guys step up and seamlessly integrate into the group, and everyone really bought into what we were trying to do. We played some great teams but came out on top by being more prepared, having better chemistry and having a better attitude.”

Taylor was just as pleased. “As a team, I thought we performed very well because we confidently beat very high quality international teams, which no other MLS team could do,” says Taylor in his first year playing in the GA Cup and his second year with the NY Red Bulls after moving to Millburn from North Carolina and England. Happy with his performance, Taylor says “My play during GA was very solid, as I contributed many goals and assists throughout the whole tournament, and made sure I impacted the game as much as possible by putting everything I had into every game. “In Texas, I really enjoyed the Tiajuana game because it was so unlikely that we were going to qualify, but we pulled out a 5-0 win I think and somehow we became the only MLS team in the semi-finals,” adds Taylor who has been called up to play for the U.S. National Team. To recognize the academy team’s performance, the professional NY Red Bulls team invited the U1617 team onto the field to be
congratulated in front of the packed stadium. “It was a good experience and it was nice to get clapped by the fans,” says Taylor, who hopes to play professional soccer in Europe, or in college “as my backup plan.” It “was a great feeling,” says Bograd. “It really speaks to how integrated our academy is into the rest of the club. We support the first team and important figures in the club, like Jesse Marsch, were cheering us on and watching.” The two offer their advice to their peers. “Work hard to prepare yourself as best you can,” says Bograd, who recently verbally committed to play Division One soccer at Princeton with hopes to one day sign a contract in the MLS. “These opportunities do not come often and it’s up to you to be ready when they do.” Taylor says, “Honestly, don’t listen to people that try to put you down and kill your dream. The most important thing is to always be confident in yourself because that is when you play your best.”

We have a specific approach to problem solving that I would like to share with you. When there is a problem it is important to be specific. Anyone in the company claiming there is a problem needs to follow this procedure in detail. What is the problem? Explain with specifics. The most important step in problem solving is defining the problem properly. This is the most critical step. The problem must be clearly defined and oftentimes doing this leads to the resolution. In defining the problem we should explore all possible causes of the problem.

What is needed to implement the solution? Do you have the resources to put this idea into action? If it cannot be implemented then there is no reason to pursue it. Test the solution. If we put a solution in place, what are the negative results that can come from it? Sometimes the reaction or response to a solution may create another problem. This has to be considered.
