    Celebrating the kickoff of the Summer Reading program, Dream Big, Read, for infants through sixth graders, at the

    Roxbury Public Library, are Madeline and her younger sister, Evelynn Keil. Tweedles the clown was on hand to create bal-

    loon masterpieces while volunteers provided their expertise in face painting. A good time was had by all!

    On July 28, four Roxbury-area churches will host a

    night of Christian music as a benefit for Freedom

    Forth, a local non-profit organization.

    Praise in the Park begins at 6pm at the Horseshoe Lake

    bandshell (located just off Eyland Avenue in Succasunna)

    and includes worship bands from the First Presbyterian

    Church of Berkshire Valley, Hillside Lutheran Church,

    Ledgewood Baptist Church and Succasunna UnitedMethodist Church. The evening will also feature a special

    performance by Michael T. Grant.

    Those attending are encouraged to bring lawn chairs or

    blankets and refreshments. Admission is free. An offering

    will benefit Freedom Forth, a nonprofit organization dedi-

    cated to ending violence against women and serving sur-

    vivors of domestic violence and trafficking in Morris

    County.

    About Freedom Forth: Freedom Forth is a 501- (c)(3)

    nonprofit organization dedicated to ending violence against

    women. Through prevention and after-care they offer pro-

    grams to serve women survivors of domestic violence and

    trafficking in Morris County, NJ.

    In September 2011 they began their first after-care pro-gram to directly serve women of domestic violence in

    Roxbury, New Jersey. Each participant has received med-

    ical services, career and interview training, counseling,

    parenting skills and financial literacy. In addition, their

    program provided a weekly community support group

    where each woman received individual support as well as

    basic necessities including food, clothing and toiletry items.

    The goal of these services and support is to ultimately

    enable their participants to return to the community and

    live independently. Most importantly, each woman

    has become a part of the Freedom Forth family and has

    replaced her feelings of isolation, hopelessness and shame

    with dignity and trust.

    Lynn Beckmann is a woman of free feminist spirit.She and her husband Brian have planned vacations

    to include hikes up Mt Kilimanjaro. Many of their

    exotic traveling destinations included a family package plan

    with their sons. Although the two Beckmann sons are well

    into adulthood, this Baby Boomer Mom has recently

    trekked the family through the bamboo trails of Viet Nam.

    It was only natural for Lynn Beckmann to think of an inno-

    vative way to have a fund raiser for her AAUW-NJ

    (American Association of University Women) Sussex

    County Branch. With her aptitude for reading maps and

    developing course trails, she along with Brian has transi-

    tioned this experience to motorsport road rallies. Lynn hasoften become the Rallyemaster for the Motorsport Club of

    North Jersey. She is skilled at developing challenging traps

    to her Motor Rallye Courses. Lynn also puts a lot of con-

    sideration into the theme for these courses. The last Motor

    Rallye she developed for her AAUW fund raiser was for a

    fall excursion through Warren County that included old his-

    toric cemeteries.

    Lynn along with John Groot of the Motorsport Club of

    North Jersey - MCNJ has developed another course to ben-

    efit the AAUW-NJ Sussex County Branch Scholarship

    Fund. Although it is a challenging course, the novice par-

    ticipant is encouraged to sign up with awards presented tothe best placed Novice Class too. This road Rallye will

    be held on Saturday, July 28, 2012. It is called Farming It

    Out. The cost is $25 per car and it will start from the

    McDonalds of Route 206 North, Byram Twp. with a sign-up 11:00 am, and first car off at 12 Noon. The course will

    wind through the most scenic farmland in the Wantage

    Township area with the end point at Chun Bo Restaurant -

    66 Sparta Ave, Newton, NJ. For inquiries about this event

    please contact Lynn Beckmann at 862-268-1782 or

    [email protected]. Participants are also encouraged to preregis-

    to get by. Whether it is getting to

    work, a job interview or simplypicking up food for the family, the lack of

    adequate transportation creates hardships

    already struggling.

    to be a part of a nationwide program called

    "Wheels to Prosper." This program awards a

    fully serviced car to a worthy and deserving

    person chosen from the local community.Recommendations are taken for individuals

    and then one lucky individual is chosen

    from those suggestions. They receive a late

    model car that has been fully inspected and

    repaired as needed.

    Our second giveaway will take place on

    Wheels to ProsperHelping Others to Live a Better Life

    Linda Planseon entertained seniors at

    the House of the Good Shepherd;

    Helen Ray helped on a team fixing a

    house that needed work inside and out. At

    the Netcong ShopRite, still others gave out

    1,000 free disposable shopping bags to

    shoppers, while groups at the nearby

    Knights of Columbus and at a local inn

    held free car washes. A massive free garagesale was open to needy individuals. Local

    parks were spruced up. Many people donat-

    ed items and time in a variety of ways

    There were no strings attached; they wanted

    nothing in return.

    This special time of giving was the 4th

    annual Grace Gives. During a Saturday

    and Sunday in June, 500 volunteers from

    Grace, the Church on the Mount, in

    Netcong went into the community to give of

    their time and themselves.

    In this era of out-sourcing overseas and mass-merchan-

    dised cookie-cutter art, a local Randolph business hastaken the road less traveled and created a modern man-

    ufacturing atmosphere to support beautiful hand decorated

    and functional glassware. Headquartered in NJ since 1987,

    Peggy Karr Glass is extremely proud to say they are entire-

    ly Handmade in America.

    Peggy Karr Glass products are a perfect blend of design

    and craftsmanship. Focused on blending art and function-

    ality, Peggy Karr has grown a business from humble begin-

    nings into the largest enameled fused glass company in the

    world . They continue in their tradition of creating locally

    hand-made functional art glass pieces at their factory home

    at 100 Washington Street in Randolph.One of the smallest art forms in the world, enameled

    fused glass is a unique process that can be used to create

    beautiful art you can use -- plates, bowls, serving trays ,

    coasters, clocks and ornaments. Since its modest beginning

    as a one-woman studio, Peggy Karr Glass has grown into a

    sophisticated manufacturing facility.

    Computer-aided design and state of the art laser cutters

    are employed by a talented staff of artists to create the tools

    needed to make the high-quality glassware Peggy Karr

    Glass is known for. It is with the help of this cutting-edge

    technology that a dedicated staff of artisans are able to

    hand-decorate each and every item that they create. Factorytours are held on a regular basis. The tours take about an

    for their field. All their own proprietary colors are made on-

    site from recycled glass and pigments. Kilns were designed

    that use 20% less electricity than the standard. One hundred

    percent of all waste glass is recycled, more than 300 tons

    each year.

    I never knew you were right down the road! This

    phrase is repeated daily at the Peggy Karr Glass OutletStore. Located at 100 Washington St., Randolph, it is one

    of Morris Countys best kept shopping secrets. Quality fac-

    tory seconds and discontinued designs are offered for sale

    Tim Leonard, Director of Family

    Ministries at the church, is what you might

    call the CEO of Grace Gives. He works

    with towns, organizations and individuals to

    find areas of need, coordinates Grace teamvisits, works with those heading teams of

    volunteers, etc. On the days of the event,

    he is at the command center, so to speak.

    He noted that Grace Gives reflects what the

    church believes.

    One pillar of our church is love thy

    neighbor, Leonard shared.

    For Grace Gives, that neighbor was

    the surrounding communities and some

    nursing homes in Hackettstown. The idea

    was to help organizations not associated

    with the church, with no strings attached.Chris Kay of Stanhope was one of two

    people coordinating the nursing home proj-

    ect. Kays primary function was to put vol-

    unteers on various teams at several local

    nursing homes and group homes.

    A lot of my work happens before the

    Grace Gives weekend since I help coordi-

    nate the logistics and scheduling for the

    Nursing Home Area. What makes the week-

    end so special is the interactions our volun-

    teers have with the residents. It is rare in

    today's society to get something for nothing,

    but that is at the center of what we do. We

    know as Christians that God extends us

    love, grace, and compassion with no strings

    attached. The volunteers are simply reflect-

    ing what God offers us, Kay shared.

    For one of the weekends projects, thechurch facilities took on the look of

    WalMart, with different departments for a

    free garage sales for those in need. The

    congregation provided the goods and those

    who came were by invitation only, with the

    names of the needy provided to the church.

    Volunteers also helped in a variety of

    other areas such as putting up wind screens

    at Budd Lake beach, beautifying eight local

    parks, helping at Noahs Ark, and making

    major improvements to three homes. For

    the latter, Grace also donated the materialsand was helped by licensed contractors who

    donated their time.

    I was assigned to a home that needed

    work inside and out. I was one of about 50

    Grace members who worked for two days

    painting, power washing, renovating the

    kitchen, mowing the lawn and planting

    flowers. Much, much more was done but

    that was only the tip of the iceberg. I start-

    ed out wanting to give back some of what

    the Lord has given me, but I received so

    much more back! All these Grace members

    Grace Gives...continued from page 10 worked together with a happy hum of pro-

    ductivity. At lunch, one of the members

    sang and played the songs we love from

    church. I went home tired, but so full of

    joy! I still think of the family and what their

    reaction must have been, said Helen Rayof Randolph.

    The church has really embraced this

    part of the fabric of who we are, said

    Leonard in talking about the outreach. He

    also shared that, at Grace, our mission is to

    build up generations of families that are

    built to last. In many cases, family mem-

    bers worked side by side on Grace Gives

    projects.

    In talking to some of the volunteers from

    that weekend, there was a sense of play it

    forward. It was clear that they felt blessed

    and wanted to pass that on.

    I helped out at the House of the Good

    Shepherd by playing the harp. Each year

    there's something special that gives me back

    more than I give. Last year, it was the faces

    on the dear seniors who got to try out play-ing 'angel' music on the harp! [It was] just

    a glissando and thats a piece of cake to do.

    The joy on their faces was so cool. Like the

    best thing since sliced bread! This year one

    lady clapped after each song I played and

    kept saying she was my 'audience.' It was a

    small way to brighten the day, bring joy and

    make a difference in peoples lives. I've

    been so blessed by Grace and so it's only

    natural to turn it around and give a blessing

    back, said Linda Planseon of Randolph.

    Tell Them You Saw It In The Robury News, July 2012, Page 13

    By Elsie Walker

    T

    hese days, everyone seems to be try-

    ing to find a way to beat the heat.

    People are donning short sleeve

    shirts and shorts and looking for ways tocool off.

    Now imagine what it must feel like to

    wear a heavy fur coat on these hot summer

    days. Thats what dogs and cats have to do.

    The heat poses significant problems for

    them. However, there are ways to help

    them beat the heat, some of which can also

    save their lives. Recently, some representa-

    tives of local animal rescues talked about

    the heat dangers and what pet owners can

    do to help their pets.

    Last summer, Cassie Kowalchuk sawsomething that she cant forget. While

    shopping, a person had left their dog in the

    car. Kowalchuk just happened to be com-

    ing to the store as the owner returned and

    opened the car door. Kowalchuki saw the

    dog collapse and fall out of the car. The dog

    had suffered brain damage and later had to

    be euthanized.

    Kowalchuk, founder of Spartas One

    Step Closer Animal Rescue (O.S.C.A.R.)

    says that every year the rescue gets calls

    about animals who are left in hot cars.Dogs suffer every year and die when

    their owners make the mistake of leaving

    them in a parked car, even for just a few

    minutes, while they run an errand. Parked

    cars can be a deathtrap for a dog. On a 78-

    degree day, the temperature inside a parkedcar can soar to between 100 to 120 degrees

    in just minutes. Cracking the windows isnt

    enough, Kowalchuk said.

    The number one rule for summer pet

    safety is never leave your pet unattended in

    the car. its too easy to get stuck in a

    checkout line or be distracted by a phone

    call and lose track of time. Dont put your

    pet at risk, said Sarah Wees, Operations

    Manager, Noahs Ark Animal Welfare

    Association in Ledgewood.

    Kowalchuk added, Animals can sufferbrain damage or death from heatstroke in

    just 15 minutes. If you see a dog left alone

    in a car, take down the car's information and

    have the owner paged in the store, or call

    local humane authorities. Have someone

    keep an eye on the dog and don't leave the

    scene until the animal is helped.

    What about when walking a dog on a hot

    day? What should owners do?

    If you pet has very short hair or white

    hair and pink skin, their skin can burn from

    too much exposure to the sun. Limit the

    pets time in the sun and ask your veterinarian about pet

    sunscreen for their ears and nose, said Wees. Also, she

    notes you should also think about where your pet will be

    walking. Think about your feet. If a road, sidewalk or

    other surface is uncomfortably hot for your bare feet, think

    twice before asking your pet to walk on it.

    Kathy Hurley, a volunteer with Hackettstowns Pet

    Adoption League (PAL), has some ideas that will not only

    make the walk comfortable for your dog, but enjoyable, too.

    A great way to help dogs feel cool while they are out-

    side is to plan walks in areas that are shaded and even bet-

    ter with a stream or water source where your dog can wet

    his paws and belly occasionally. As you continue walking,

    the water will evaporate and have a natural cooling affect.

    You will find that both you and your dog will be able to

    enjoy your daily walk much more if you stay out of direct

    sunlight.Hurley said that the same principle can be used at home

    with a plastic baby pool. Put the pool in your backyard and

    fill it with water.

    Most dogs - even if they normally avoid water - will be

    interested and will jump in to cool off and play with the

    water because it feels so nice. Being wet will allow your

    dog to be more active because as the water evaporates from

    their coat, it has a natural cooling effect, said Hurley.

    Dogs are not the only ones who can be beat by the heat.

    Cats need help to stay cool, too. To keep pets cool at home,

    Hurley shared these tips:

    Leave on your air conditioning in the mid-70s during

    the day so your dog and cat are comfortable. If you don't

    have air conditioning , get a circular fan that you can tilt to

    point up to the ceiling and leave it on for your pets. This

    will circulate the cool air on the floor up to the ceiling anddown and give them a slight breeze so they can feel cooler.

    Also, remove wool or fleece blankets from their beds and

    replace them with cotton sheets that will keep them cooler.

    A tip that will not only make your dog or cat feeler cool-

    er, but is fun, too, is to put ice cubes in his or her water dish.

    Not only does it keep the water cool, but pets love to play

    with the cubes.

    Finally, Heatstroke is a concern during this time of year.

    Wees shared what people should look out for and what to do

    if they think their pet has heat stroke.

    Know the signs of heat stroke in pets. For dogs, exces-

    sive or heavy panting, a rapid pulse and drooling can be

    signs of heat-related distress. In cats, watch for panting,

    pacing, a rapid pulse, respiratory distress, lethargy or dark

    red gums. Elevated body temperatures are a danger sign for

    both dogs and cats. If you think your pet is overheating, run

    cool water over him or her, wrap in cool, wet towels and

    transport to the vet immediately. If your pet doesnt like

    being wet, try wrapping a bag of frozen peas in a towel and

    applying it under his or her neck to cool off. You can also

    place a bag of frozen peas under a towel in your pets bed

    to create a cool spot on which they can relax. Cats who are

    suffering from heat stroke may not want to drink. You can

    dribble a few drops of water at a time into their mouths to

    Help Your Pets Beat the Heat...continued from page 14

    help them stay hydrated on your way to the vet.

    To prevent heat stroke, keep your pet indoors or in the

    shade in hot weather and limit exercise. Dogs will overheat

    faster than humans, so even the most active dogs should

    take it easy in the heat. If you are outdoors with your pet, besure to have plenty of water available and a dish your pet

    can drink out of. Extra water should be available indoors as

    well.

    H

    omer was a special

    dog in the life of his

    human companion,

    Mark Raab; and now,Homer is special to local

    rescued animals. As a trib-

    ute to his canine pal, Raab

    wrote the book, Homer,

    whose key character reflects

    Raabs late dogs personali-

    ty. That book is sold on

    Amazon.com with pro-

    ceeds from the sale going to

    O.S.C.A.R. (One Step

    Closer Animal Rescue) in

    Sparta.Homer is a buddy com-

    edy about a widower and his

    talking dog. Homer, the

    dog, helps the man get back

    on his feet and assists in his

    dating life. Its a heartfelt

    story appropriate for all

    ages, said Newton resident,

    Raab.

    Raab has been working

    to break into screenwriting

    and has written several

    screenplays. Homer started

    out as one of Raabs family-

    friendly comedies, but he

    liked it so much that he

    turned it into a book.Although it is a work of fic-

    tion, Raab explained that

    through giving the character

    of Homer (the dog) a voice,

    it took on the personality of

    his beloved pet. Raab noted

    that he was in his late 30s

    when he got Homer, his first

    dog.

    I look at this book as

    my way of paying tribute to

    him. And if the book can beused to help other dogs, that

    will be his legacy. Homer

    was a wonderful dog and I

    miss him very much, said

    Raab.

    It was after Homers

    death that Raab got

    involved with O.S.C.A.R.

    One might say that it is what

    brought them together.

    The end of 2009 was a

    rough time. In August 2009,

    my dog Sirus was diagnosed

    with cancer. A month later,

    my yellow lab, Homer, was

    also diagnosed with cancer.

    They both were only eightyears old. I had adopted

    them separately, and two

    years apart, but strangely

    enough they shared the

    same exact birthday. Homer

    died suddenly on November

    4, 2009, just six weeks after

    being diagnosed. With

    Homer gone, and not sure

    how much time Sirus had

    left, it meant that eventually

    my other dog Sophie wouldbe alone. I couldnt let that

    happen to her and I began

    looking for our next family

    member on Petfinder,

    shared Raab.

    On Petfinder, Raab was

    drawn to the picture of an

    adorable dog named

    Sawyer. Holding the dog

    was Cassie Kowalchuk, the

    founder of O.S.C.A.R.

    Raab filled out an adoption

    Dogs Legacy Helps Other Dogs in Needapplication form and

    Kowalchuks mother,

    Debbie, brought Sawyer to

    Raabs house to see if he

    would mesh with the family.Sawyer certainly did.

    I still remember the

    moment Debbie placed

    Sawyer in my arms. I knew

    he was the perfect dog for

    me and, the best thing of all,

    Sophie took to him right

    away, said Raab.

    That spring Raab ran into

    Kowalchuk and her mother

    at various O.S.C.A.R. adop-

    tion days. They alwaysasked about Sawyer and

    Raab was amazed at how,

    having adopted out so many

    dogs, they remembered who

    adopted which dog.

    Inspired to get involved,

    Raab remembers that he

    first volunteered to help at a

    bake sale.

    I was clueless as to how

    much to make. I ended up

    baking enough for 10 bake

    sales. It then went from bak-

    ing, to helping run the

    tables, to working the adop-

    tion events, to helping

    organize fundraisers. The

    more I got involved, the

    more I wanted to help, he

    Now, at the adoption events, Raab is usu-

    ally paired with larger dogs or ones who

    dont do as well because of all the hustleand bustle that goes on at the events.

    Sometimes these dogs take a little

    longer to place, so its not unusual for me to

    have the same dog at several events, so I

    really get to know them and Im always

    rooting for them to find their forever home.

    And when it finally happens, I get really

    excited. Then well get a photo sent to us of

    the dog with its new family. To see that

    photo, its just a great feeling, he said.

    He noted the Happy Tails, photos of

    dogs adopted through O.S.C.A.R., that can

    be found on the organizations website. He

    said it is those photos that drive him as a

    volunteer.

    At home, Raabs dog family now con-

    sists of Sophie, Sawyer, and Sophies two

    other brothers, Finn and Teddy (another

    O.S.C.A.R. rescue). However, it is clear

    that there will always be a special spot in

    Raabs heart for a dog named Homer and

    Homers legacy, a book whose proceeds

    will help other dogs find loving forever

    homes.

    Imyself live in Roxbury Twp, and for the

    past couple of months, have heard all dif-

    ferent rumors about this being a law. First,

    i myself heard something on Channel 12.

    Then friends said they were in one of the localpet stores and heard many customers dis-

    cussing which harness to buy that will fit their

    dog and attach to the rear seat belts. Pet Store

    customer service reps were affirming this was

    a new law. Some were even saying that the

    ticket for an unsecured dog in the car would

    be over $600!! Then i heard the new law

    referred only to small dogs or cats sitting on

    the driver's lap...yadda, yadda, yadda!! So,

    being i myself have a dog (and yes he sits or

    lays in the back seat all the time, good dog

    that he is!!) i decided the time had come to

    investigate and see what the police had to say.

    I spoke on the phone with Sgt. Daniel

    Murray from the Roxbury Police

    Department. He was quite knowledgeable of

    this subject and sent me info in writing that all

    of you should read. I appreciate his assistance

    in setting the record straight. THANK YOU

    he was so kind to forward on to me.

    NJSPCA Clarifies Unrestrained Animals

    in Vehicle Controversy

    STATEMENT BY:

    Matt Stanton, Spokesperson NJSPCA

    Its unfortunate that so many news organi-

    zations local and national - have chosen to

    mischaracterize the intent of an event the

    NJSPCA held with the NJ Motor Vehicle

    Commission (NJMVC) on May 30, 2012

    regarding unrestrained animals in vehicles.

    The purpose of this statement is to set the

    record straight and clarify any misconcep-

    tions people may have as a result of incorrect

    news reports from the event.

    The May 30 event was intended to focus

    on educating motorists about the potential for

    drivers being distracted while transporting

    animals in a vehicle, and what precautions

    motorists can and should take to protect

    themselves and their animals. That was the

    purpose of the event, nothing more and noth-

    ing less. This was a public education initia-

    tive about public safety and distracted driv-

    ing, not a law enforcement initiative.

    The State of New Jerseys has NOT

    passed a new law requiring animals to be

    restrained while being transported in a vehi-

    cle. In fact, for over fifteen (15) years, New

    Jersey has had a law on the books called

    improper transport (4:18:22). This law was

    explained during the event to highlight the

    fact that the NJSPCA does have the authority

    to file animal cruelty charges if and when ani-

    mals are observed being transported in an

    improper manner.

    The State of New Jersey is NOT mandat-

    ing that animal owners run out to their local

    pet store or go online and purchase an animal

    harness that integrates into a vehicle seat belt

    system. While the NJSPCA urges motorists

    to consider purchasing a harness to keep their

    animals safe, New Jersey state law does not

    require these devices.

    The NJSPCA is NOT patrolling the streets

    and highways of New Jersey actively seeking

    dogs on the laps of drivers or unrestrained in

    the back seat of a car. We partnered with the

    NJMVC to send the message to motorists that

    there are ways to transport animals in a safe

    and secure manner that will protect both

    motorists and animals alike. However, if in

    the course of their duties NJSPCA personnel

    observe an animal being transported in an

    unsafe manner, they will take corrective

    action by issuing a summons and/or warning

    and spend some time educating the motorist.

    Summonses and/or warnings can and will

    be issued when motorists are observed trans-

    porting animals in such a manner that will or

    could cause harm to the animals or others.

    Animals being transported unrestrained in the

    back of pick up truck beds, sitting on a driv-

    ers lap, or with more than 30% of their bod-

    ies protruding out the windows of a vehicle

    are examples.

    Simply slipping a leash through a seat belt

    or some similar method of ensuring that an

    animal does not become a flying object if a

    crash occurs is a good first step.

    Unfortunately, this issue has been twisted and

    blown out of proportion. All we are asking is

    that motorists take a common sense approach

    when transporting their animals to protect

    themselves and their animals should an acci-

    dent occur.

    So...Is There Now A Law To Restrain Your Pet In The Car? Everyone Thinks So, But Think Again!!

    by Michele Guttenberger

    Thomas Edison was a great inventor but not all of his

    projects were as bright as his electric light bulb. In1892 Edison relinquished his reign in the electric

    industry with the merger of his Edison General Electric. It

    was combined with several other companies to form one

    corporation. Feeling diminished by this merger, he wanted

    to find another brilliant new venture. He advertized Im

    going to do something now so different and so much bigger

    than anything Ive ever done before. People will forget that

    my name ever was connected with anything electrical.

    That something bigger was iron ore mining and refining.

    The US Eastern Iron industry was a tough business to be

    in. What was left in eastern iron ore mining were poor

    yields that contained rock and debris. Unfortunately, steelproduction from this iron ore needed to be free of impuri-

    ties. Edison thought he had the answer to this perplexing

    problem with electromagnet separation. Edison reasoned

    that since iron is magnetic, an electromagnet could separate

    the iron from the debris and purify it.

    In 1889 he put Sussex Countys Ogdensberg, New Jersey

    on the map with perhaps the largest ore-crushing mill in the

    world. This mill pulverized large chunks of ore that came

    directly from the mine. Edisons big plan was to process

    1,200 tons of iron ore every 20 hours. With three magnetic

    separators, it could produce a total of 530 tons of refined

    ore. However, technical problems with his machinery

    always seemed to persist.

    Edison even shut down his mill in 1892 thinking that dif-

    ferent replacement parts could improve production. But, itwas more than machinery issues that kept this business in

    the red. His new business also had a dismal customer list.

    The other unforeseeable factors contributing to the demise

    of his business was the abundant discovery of better iron

    ore deposits out west and the emerging railroad lines capa-

    ble of moving mass loads of ore cargo to far distances.

    It wasnt long before the iron ore business started to

    become a big money pit for Edison. He lost a great deal of

    money. It had become even a harder iron pill to swallow.

    To finance the operation, he had sold his stock in General

    Electric. It was a stock that kept rising in value. His sold

    shares would soon reach four million dollars. His responseto his bad investment decision and the missed out wealth in

    GE stock was "Well, it's all gone, but we had a hell of a

    good time spending it." He eventually found good fortune

    again and recovered from this loses with his phonograph

    and the motion pictures business.

    tions. Please visit The Thomas Alva Edison Museum- NPS
