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, 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 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 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 continued on page 2

Memorial Day History...
continued from front page 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
T
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 cele-
brates 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
West Orange Street Fair
he West Orange Street Fair is planned for Sat., June 3, from 11 a.m. to 6 p.m. The signature event of the year, The West Orange Street Fair will feature more than 100 crafters and food vendors, car show, beer and
wine garden and fun activities for the entire family. Kids can come out to enjoy blow-up rides and activities. Free admission to the Thomas Edison Museum will be available. The West Orange Street
Fair is an open and free celebration for all. Come join in on the fun! The Street Fair is presented by the Downtown West Orange Alliance, the Township of West Orange, and the West Orange Chamber of Commerce.
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 Re-
membrance. 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.”

West Orange Fifth Grader Competes On ‘Chopped Junior’
M
By Jennifer Walkup t. Pleasant Elementary School fifth grader Megan Hackett got to show off her cooking skills last month as a contestant on Food Network’s popular cooking competition
“Chopped Junior.” Hackett competed against three other 10 and 11 year olds for the title of Chopped Junior champion and a prize of $10,000. The show aired on April 11. Hackett learned to cook at a young age at home. She
has been helping her parents both during cookouts and in the kitchen for at least three years. She discovered that she enjoyed cooking so much that she began to take over both meal prep and planning for her family. “I helped my dad in the

kitchen a lot,” Hackett says. “I used to be his helper. Now he’s my helper.” To audition for the show, Hackett prepared her signature dish of teriyaki salmon, truffle mac and cheese and sautéed spinach. Once she was accepted, she knew she had to be as ready as possible. When asked how she prepared for the show, Hackett highlighted local area chefs who helped her get ready for her television cooking debut. Chef Ariane Duarte of Ariane Kitchen and Bar in Verona helped by showing her how a professional kitchen functions. Duarte is no stranger to cooking on television as she has appeared on both Top Chef and Iron chef. “Chef Ariane helped me
with my cooking skills,” Hackett said. “She showed me the professional kitchen. It was really fun.” Hackett also worked with Chef Karan Fischer of Montclair Culinary Academy and Chef Darius Butherde of Fabulous Ap-
petizers. These chefs helped Hackett learn how to prepare food of various cuisines. After working with these chefs for the additional training, Hackett was ready for the competition. Chopped Junior is a continued on page 4

Chopped Junior... continued from page 3 contest that pits four chefs aged 9 to 15 against each other for three rounds – appetizer, entrée, and dessert. It requires cooking skill as well as a creative approach. The chefs are required to incorporate unusual combinations of ingredients they are given on the spot into inventive dishes. There is one contestant eliminated after each round until there is one winner left. During the special circus-themed episode of Chopped Junior, entitled “Three Ring Kitchen,” actor Ryan Guzman joined The Kitchen’s Sunny Anderson and Geoffrey Zakarian on the judging panel along with Ted Allen as the show’s host. For her appetizer, Hackett made a French kale salad

with avocado crumble and balsamic reduction. Her entrée was a pasta dish with a cheese tomato meat sauce and her dessert was sweet fruit compote over elephant ears. “My original dessert idea didn’t work out as planned so I had to change course at the last minute,” Hackett said. She had to scrap her original plan, a concord grape, and caramel apple fruit tart with an elephant ear crumble when she realized the tart was not going to cook in time. “The judges were very nice,” Hackett said. “They gave us good advice and some ideas about our dishes that could be improved.” She talks about her entrée, which she was originally going to describe as a type of mac and cheese. When
there wasn’t enough cheese in the dish, she decided to change the name. “The judges told me this was a good decision because people eat with their eyes first. They thought that was a good choice I made.” Although Hackett finished as runner up in the competition, with her competitor’s dessert earning him the winning title and prize, the judges commended Hackett for her ability to think quickly and creatively to use all her ingredients, applauding her impressive flavors and the way the dishes came together. “Even though I didn’t win, I had a lot of fun,” Hackett said. “It was hard, but it was really fun. Everyone worked really hard.” When asked what she would have done with the

$10,000 cash prize, Hackett expressed her desire to start a nonprofit organization for inner city kids. “I want all kids to have the opportunities I do, to have arts programs and do things like music, art and cooking,” she said. “When school budgets get cut that is the first thing to go. I want
to give kids without opportunities more chances.” Cooking isn’t Hackett’s only hobby. She plays soccer and basketball in town and participates in a number of other activities such as studying voice and dance as well as acting in commercials, as a television extra and in off-Broadway

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 pro-
gram’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. continued on page 8

Once you have done this then we expect you to explore solutions and list them. Don’t stop at one but list all the possible solutions you can think of. Do not jump to an obvious conclusion. Take time to list all possible solutions. Once this is done you can then determine which are the best solutions for the problem at hand. Final step: Which solution would you recommend and why? How to implement solutions? 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. When this is complete and you have the best solution…Do it!

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. Do not just list the symptoms but look deeply for the “root cause” of the problem. This oftentimes requires a detailed analysis of the situation. How does it affect our business? Does it have a material effect on our business? How? Is it something that is a personal annoyance to you as opposed to a business problem? Can we quantify it? How do we measure it?

IMPLANT DENTISTRY For over twenty years, implant dentistry has been a reliable option for patients with missing teeth. With the ability to support a crown, an implant procedure has the capacity to bypass drilling the adjacent teeth. Additionally, with the recent availability of mini implants, implant dentistry has expanded its utilization to anchoring both full and partial dentures for a more secure fit. As they provide an economic alternative, patients have been very receptive of mini implants, as they make eating and speaking with dentures much easier. Dr. Helen Chiu has always been involved in implant dentistry, making it an integrated part of her everyday practice. From replacing a single tooth, inserting crowns or bridges, securing dentures, to creating multiple, full-arch reconstructions, she performs every step of each process, surgical and restorative.

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 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 doctor’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 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. 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.
