Randolph School District “Sing the Praises”
of Their Music Program
By Cheryl Conway
R
ecently celebrating Music in Our Schools and Youth
Art Month in March, some representatives of the
Randolph school district “sing the praises” of the
districts distinguished music program.
Whether its fingers strumming a string instrument, horns
harmonizing in the band or voices vibrating on stage, The
Randolph schools music department is in a class of its own.
Since 2004, the district’s music program has been named as
one of the best communities for music education in the
country.
Constant support of the music and arts program by the
district’s board of education, as well as numerous select
teachers hired to work in their expert area with students sets
Randolph apart from other music programs.
“The board of education is second to none” in its support
for the music program in Randolph, says David Aulenbach,
Postal Customer supervisor of visual arts & music education in grades K
through 12. Some districts may focus more on athletics, but
Local in Randolph music is taken seriously.
******ECRWSS****** “It’s what makes Randolph so special,” says Aulenbach.
“It makes it very unique.”
There are 20 music teachers in grades K-through 12 in
the district with different expertise in the area of music to
ensure that students get instruction from the most qualified
person. “Everybody who is hired is either a vocal or instru-
mental person and they get to focus on what they do best,”
says Aulenbach. “We get to hone in on what people do

best.”
Randolph Superintendent of Schools Owen Snyder says
“I am happy to sing the praises of the district’s music pro-
gram. Over many years, the board has made the provision
of an excellent and well-staffed music program a very high
priority in the preparation of its operating budget. Although
this is not easy in these difficult financial times, the value of
arts education and performance to students and the greater
Randolph community has clearly been recognized for quite
some time.”
Snyder toots his horn for the supportive parents as well.
“Randolph has long understood that co- and extra-curric-
ular activities are important elements in a comprehensive
educational program. While always a financial and budget-
ary challenge, successive boards of education have recog-
nized this fact and, with the very active support of the music
parents, have so far been able to provide a wide range of
options for Randolph students.”
The hard work and support has paid off for the Randolph
music department, which has been named one of the top
100 schools in the country for Best Communities for Music
Education by the National Association for Music Merchants
(NAMM Foundation). Randolph received this recognition
in 2004, 2006, 2008 and 2010. NAMM prefers that recipi-
ents do not apply for the award every year, explains
Aulenbach, music supervisor for the past seven years.
Recipients are selected and surveyed in various areas

A Look At Randolph High School Sports
By Josh Lashley
Boys Baseball
The 2010 season was obviously a banner one indeed for
the Randolph High School baseball program. To quickly
recap, the Rams earned the NJSIAA State Group IV cham-
pionship and compiled an impressive overall record of 28-
3 along the way.
But, the 2011 regular season is currently underway and
this year’s version of the Randolph baseball program is
looking to leave their own positive and memorable mark.
With Ryan Casey at the helm as head coach, the Rams
appear to have a strong core of returning student-athletes to
the roster who can lead the squad toward success against
some very considerable opposition this spring.
Randolph competes in the challenging Northwest Jersey
Athletic Conference American Division.
“Every team in our division is good so I don’t think there
is a team to beat,’’ Casey said. “The division has many good
coaches who are experienced and know the game well.
Each team has some talented players who could play at the
collegiate level.
“Our division is very competitive and you never know
who will come out with a victory of each game. I think all
eight teams are contenders regardless of their team’s make
up. The coaches in this division know how to put a compet-
itive team out there if they are returning many players or are
full of newcomers to the varsity level.’’
Amongst the top returning players for the Rams this
year are Mike Rampone (senior, second base/pitcher), Chris
Lowery (senior, third base/outfield/pitcher), Scott
Zanghellini (senior, short stop), Joe Capalbo (senior, out-
field), Conor Krauss (senior, pitcher), Robby Berger (sen-
ior, pitcher), Keegan Gorman (senior, pitcher/first base) and
Mark Scherzer (senior, pitcher).
“I do not look for any particular player or players to be
the team leaders,’’ Casey said. “Each player has something
to bring to the team be it in the field, at the plate, on the
mound, in practice, in meetings, or in class.’’
Some of the promising newcomers for the Rams
include Mike Tomaino (senior, third base/outfield), Matt
Kral (senior, catcher/outfield), Kyle Petrone (senior, pitch-
er), Connor McMahon (senior, pitcher/first base),
Kevin Mancuso (junior, outfield), Ricky Levens (junior,
catcher), Thomas Asbaty (sophomore, catcher), Jake
Scherzer (sophomore, pitcher) and Andrew Conklin (soph-
omore, infield).
“Our team’s overall goal is to get better each day by
being attentive, working hard, and learning from our mis-
takes,’’ Casey said. “If we accomplish this, good things
hopefully will happen.’’
Girls Softball
There are plenty of reasons to be optimistic this season
if you are part of the Randolph High School softball pro-
gram. After finishing just under the .500 mark with an over-
all record of 12-13 last spring the Rams are back with a
strong core of veteran player’s on the roster who can hope-
fully guide the team to some big victories against talented
and competitive opposition.
Caitlyn Betz (senior, pitcher), Michelle Kovary (senior,
second base), Renae Russo (senior, outfield), Gina
Savignano (senior, third base), Tara Barnett (junior, utility
player/ short stop), Victoria Conklin (junior, catcher),
Meghan Gannon (junior, outfield), Bree Kerwick (junior,
first base) and Amanda Magadan (sophomore, short
stop/second base) are amongst those key returning player’s
for Randolph.
“The captains this season are Kovary, Russo, Savignano
and Betz,’’ Randolph head coach Brianne McBreen said. “I
hope they are vocal on the field and lead by example for the
other girls on the team.’’
Some of the newcomers who can make positive things
happen on the field for the Rams this spring include Claudia
Ceva (senior, outfield), Kayla Johnson (sophomore, out-
field), Chrissy Pilkington (sophomore, utility player) and
Lauren Mastropierro (freshman, outfield).
“We want to be over the .500 mark this season and get
far in the States and in the county tournament,’’ McBreen
said. “We also want to win close games and play hard
through all seven innings.’’
McBreen feels that her squad is a contender in the
Northwest Jersey Athletic Conference American Division,
which includes such top notch programs as Morris Knolls
and Roxbury.
In fact, Morris Knolls captured the NJSIAA North I
Group IV sectional title with a win over Montclair and then
went on to win the State Group IV crown with a triumph
over Eastern in 2010. Morris Knolls defeated Roxbury in
the quarterfinal round of the North I Group IV tournament.

the board of education, explains Aulenbach.
The percentage of students involved in
the district’s music program is impressive.
At the elementary level, 100 percent of the
students are involved in chorus; in the
fourth grade, 75 percent of the students
elect involvement in the band, chorus or
orchestra; 50 percent of the students are
involved at the middle school; and 30 per-
cent at the high school, according to
Aulenbach.
In addition to band, choir and orchestra,
students can take classes in high school in
music technology for recording and compo-
sition; music theory courses; three levels of
dance; visual arts courses such as painting,
drawing, ceramics, photography, computer
graphics and print-making.
“There is something for every student,”
says Aulenbach. Students are required to
earn a minimum of five credits for visual or
performing arts in order to graduate.

Boys Lacrosse
If you are a sports fan who wants to witness a local team
that has strong guidance from the varsity tested upper-class-
men on its roster, then by all means attend a Randolph High
School boy’s lacrosse contest.
The Rams are striving for success and improvement in
all facets of the game this spring. Last season, they
advanced all the way to the semifinal round of the NJSIAA
Public Group IV tournament as the No. 12 seed before los-
ing to Bridgewater-Raritan. Montclair topped Bridgewater-
Raritan for the Group IV title.
“First and foremost, we as a team want to become better
lacrosse players every time we set foot on the field,’’
Randolph head coach Luke Mason said. “After that, our
goal is to win our games one game at a time. We see our-
selves as contenders for the Waterman Division and are
excited for the Group IV possibilities.’’
Mason sees A.L. Johnson and Morristown-Beard as the
top teams to beat in the Waterman Division.
Amongst the key returning student-athletes on the squad
for the Rams are Joe Nardolilo (senior, midfield), Wes
Odell (senior, goalie), Gil Swenson (senior, defense), John
Yachmetz (senior, midfield), Dylan Young (senior,
defense), Kevin Faber (junior, attack), Matt Gaudioso (jun-
ior, defense), Eric Smith (junior, midfield) and Kurtis
Naslonski (sophomore, attack).
“This year we have a lot of senior leadership,’’ Mason
said. “I am really looking forward to seeing how Yachmetz,
Swenson, Young, and Odell take to their new leadership
roles. They have already played an instrumental role in cre-
ating a team-first environment. It will be exciting to see
how the season will unfold.’’
Other players who can have a solid impact for Randolph
this season include Mike Cianciatta (senior, midfield),
James Giordano (senior, defense), Anthony Maniace (sen-
ior, attack), Justin McAndrew (senior, defense), Greg
Gundy (junior, midfield), Brad Lindquist (junior, attack),
Kevin Muller (junior, midfield), Max Whitman (junior,
attack), Matt Cohn (sophomore, midfield), Robert Parker
(sophomore, defense), Kevin Terebecke (sophomore,
attack), Jon Mambelli (freshman, defense) and Mike Turner
(freshman, attack/midfield).
“We have a lot to prove and are eager to show off the
work we have put in,’’ Mason said.
Girls Lacrosse
The regular season is only a few weeks old and it’s very
difficult indeed to state with a great deal of certainty how
many wins and losses the Randolph High School girl’s
lacrosse team will have at its conclusion.
One thing that first-year head coach Anthony Finn is
hoping to-and seemingly can-count on from the student-
athletes on his roster is a solid effort each and every game.
The Rams, who had an overall record of 7-10 in 2010,
appear to have the right attitude needed to navigate through
a difficult schedule this spring.
“I’m looking for progress not only in wins and losses,
but in the intangibles that make all the girls better players
and in turn make our program stronger year to year,’’ Finn
said. “Things like field awareness, unselfishness and the
ability to put the team before personal achievements. We
are a young team that I feel can not only win now but win
in the future.’’
Randolph has a trio of seniors Rebecca Balfour
(defense), Caithlyn Hughes (midfield) and Sam Rudorfer
(attack) who will be called upon to step into the all-impor-
tant leadership roles this year.
“We only carry three seniors and I look to all of them to
help the younger player’s transition into the varsity game,’’
Finn said. “I need them to not only be leaders on the field
but also teach the girls what is expected of them as a varsi-
ty athlete.’’
Mallory Grey (junior, midfield), Nicole Weissman (jun-
ior, midfield) and Emma Kubert (sophomore, goalie) are
some of the other key returnees for the Rams.
Morgan Colville (junior, defense), Amanda Dezenzo
(sophomore, midfield), Olivia Hanlon (sophomore) and
Mel Durbin (freshman, defense) are amongst the newcom-
ers who can have an immediate impact this season.
"I think that we could possibly be a contender,’’ Finn
said. “A lot of things need to come together for that to hap-
pen, but we are definitely not a team to be taken for grant-
ed. We could surprise people this season and will be a force
as playoffs and counties roll around.’’

Operation Smile Continues
At J. Thomas Jewelers
By Cheryl Conway
T
wenty-six children so far around
the globe have something to smile
about thanks to the efforts of J.
Thomas Jewelers in Flanders and Sparta.
Since July 2010, the full-service jewelry
company has been collecting donations for
Operation Smile - an international medical
humanitarian organization that provides
safe, reconstructive surgery for children
and young adults born with cleft lip, cleft
palate and other facial deformities.
Donations will be collected until the end of
July in order to help as many children as
possible.
Leonard Girardo, owner of J. Thomas
Jewelers, has set his goal to help repair the
smile of at least 50 children. He is more
than half way there.
“We’ve had great support from the differ-
ent communities,” says Girardo, “and
would like to thank them for making a dif-
ference in a child’s life.”
J. Thomas Jewelers will match every dollar
that is donated through its stores toward
Operation Smile. For $240, in 45 minutes
of time, a child’s facial deformity can be
corrected through Operation Smile.
“It makes you feel good every time you
send a check in,” he says. “Something so
minor can change a kid’s life.” You change
their smile, their confidence, their eating.
“It feels good. I wish we can do 100.
Operation Smile is an incredible organiza-
tion.”
Operation Smile began in 1982, after Dr.
William P. Magee Jr. - a plastic surgeon-
and his wife, Kathy Magee- a nurse and
clinical social worker, learned about the
need for surgical facial repair while travel-
ing to the Philippines with other medical
volunteers to repair children's cleft lips and
cleft palates. They discovered hundreds of
children ravaged by deformities but were
forced to turn away the majority.
Through the help of thousands of dedicat-
ed medical volunteers, advocates and
donors, Operation Smile was established
to provide free surgeries to repair facial
deformities for children around the world.
Girardo first got involved in this world-
wide children’s medical charity when his
wife, Elizabeth, decided to help a child by
donating money toward this cause. By
reaching out to the community, the
Girardos can help even more children.
Customers can place money in containers
located at either store or mail in checks.

According to operationsmile.org, “more
than 200,000 children are born with a
severe cleft condition each year — often
unable to eat, speak, socialize or smile. In
some places these children are shunned
and rejected. And in too many cases, their
parents can't afford to give them the sur-
geries they need to live a normal life.”
With a presence in over 50 countries,
Operation Smile, which is headquartered
in Norfolk, Va., heals thousands of chil-
dren annually and to date has touched the
lives of more than 150,000 boys and girls
around the globe.
Located in Flanders for three years and in
Sparta for more than 25 years, J. Thomas
Jewelers offers a great selection of fine
jewelry as well as custom pieces at afford-
able prices.
Customers can find quality diamonds,
engagement rings, wedding bands, dia-
mond earrings, watches, pendants and
bracelets. Pieces are custom made from
wax molding or computer designs; or
shoppers can select from various design-
ers.
Other services include jewelry repairs,
appraisals and engravings.
For the spring, Girardo is offering diamond
remounts and a greater selection of dia-
mond engagement rings and wedding
bands.
“Spring is a good time for women to
redesign it [jewelry], says Girardo, jewelry
owner for the past 10 years. It is also a
good time to sell their gold.
“Spring is a good time to clean out your
jewelry box to redesign or sell it,” he says.
“Time to clean out for spring cleaning.”
Girardo says to look out for specials for
Mother’s Day.

Automotive Magic Gives Back To The Community
By Cheryl Conway
I
t’s all in the heart for the owner of a local
auto repair shop – not only in his chest
but in the refurbished car he will give
away to a person in need.
Shawn Gilfillan, owner of Automotive
Magic in Kenvil, is giving away a depend-
able, gold, four-door 2003 Chrysler 300 to
an individual facing tough economic times
and in need of a reliable vehicle.
Nominations – that are being accepted until
June 15 - will be carefully reviewed and the
recipient will be announced in July.
Instead of selling the used car that he had
purchased from a customer who was getting
rid of it, Gilfillan decided he wanted to give
back to the community.
“We can sell it for a couple a hundred
dollars, or we can give it away to help
someone else,” explains Gilfillan of
Roxbury. “These tough economic times find
many people in our greater area down on
their luck, and one of the biggest challenges
these individuals face is the ability to rely
on a dependable vehicle.”
Gilfillan acquired the vehicle with a
“blown up engine” in need of repairs about
six months ago. The car owner sold it to
Gilfillan for $150. Gilfillan and his certified
technicians refurbished the car with a new
engine.
“We put it all back together,” says
Gilfillan. “It’s got a new heart. It’s a

The David D. Hammar Foundation Presents
The 2nd Annual Tour de Long Valley A Fundraising Cycling Tour of Long Valley
Sunday July 31st, 2011 Rock Spring Park
T
he David D. Hammar Foundation proudly presents
the “2nd Annual Tour de Long Valley”, a recreation-
al cycling event through scenic Long Valley, NJ in
the heart of Morris County. This year’s event features the
following two course options:
40 Mile Course - Start Time: 9:30am
A challenging scenic route that includes some of Long
Valley's best climbs and long descents. This course also
includes parts of Califon.
20 Mile Course - Start Time: 10:00am
Is a much less aggressive course and is geared towards
the casual rider that wants to ride around Long Valley and
enjoy the course without any challenging climbs. This route
will stay at the top of Schooley's Mountain and is mostly a
flat course.
The proceeds raised from this event will be donated to
the Long Valley First Aid Squad as an appreciation for their
service and dedication to the people they serve. The date for
the ride will be Sunday, July 31st and will originate from
Rock Spring Park in Long Valley. Registration opens at
8:00AM the day of the ride, the event will occur rain or
shine. Registration opens April 1st on Bikereg.com, or reg-
ister the morning of the event. The cost is $30 per rider, and
$20 for police/firefighters/EMT's. The first 100 registered
riders will receive a FREE T-shirt and SWAG bag. Both
courses will include 1 rest / water stop approximately at the
Tell Them You Saw It In The Three Rivers News - April 2011 - Page 19
half way point, volunteers from the LVFAS marshalling
select course turns, and a SAG vehicle out on the course for
the duration of the ride.
The David D. Hammar foundation was founded in 2006
after David Hammar perished in an unfortunate cycling
accident with a car. In his life he was a wonderful, giving
individual and a great father and in his death he gave the
gift of life through organ donation. His daughter, Allison,
founded this Non-Profit Organization in an effort to raise
awareness of cycling safety along with the hope of raising
money to purchase helmets for children in need. To date we
have donated over 300 Helmets, and will be donating over
100 more helmets this year. The David D. Hammar
Foundation, a NJ non-profit corporation formed in 2006 to
promote the safety of bicyclists and pedestrians through
promotion of DDH foundation run safety awareness pro-
grams and helmet donation.
The Long Valley First Aid Squad is a staffed by a crew
of extremely dedicated volunteers. They have personally
touched the lives of several members and close friends of
the DDH Foundation. We are extremely proud to have the
opportunity and the privilege to work with and provide sup-
port to a group of remarkable individuals. We are hopeful
that the 2nd Annual Tour de Long Valley will surpass the
success of our first event in 2009.
The 2nd Annual Tour de Long Valley is brought to you
by our sponsors and volunteers.

“My lifetime goal has always been to design and build a
golf course like this, where golf and nature truly commune.
For the low handicapper, the course will stretch to over
7,100 yards, with broad fairways winding through trees and
along the ridgeline. Multiple tees will allow a comfortable
yardage for players of all ability levels. Lakes and streams
throughout the property are utilized to create both shot
value and beauty. The varied green settings will test your
putting ability. Round to round, this course will play differ-
ently; determined by conditions, course set-up and ability
level. Players are offered a variety of shot options challeng-
ing their imagination and competitive goals.”

M
aria Clark notes that her van is on
its last legs. It’s to the point that
if she doesn’t get a new one
soon, it will be like a Fred Flintstone foot-
operated mobile. While some might smile at
that image, in this case, the van is more than
just a way to get around. It is Clark’s life-
line. She has osteo genesis perfecta (brittle
bones). Being wheelchair bound, Clark
needs a specially equipped handicapped
van. Such a van costs $35,000. Last month,
a benefit was held at the United
Presbyterian Church of Flanders adding
$6060 toward reaching the goal. A total of
$25,000 has been raised. They are hoping
more donations will come in to help.
Clark is an educational speaker (
http://www.mjcmakingwaves.com/index.ht
ml). She educates companies (like Johnson
and Johnson) on how to interview the dis-
abled and gives information on the
Americans with Disabilities Act. She’s
talked to graduate students in the occupa-
tional therapy program at New York
University on what being an occupational
therapist means in helping clients.
She loves educating kids on people who
are different, especially in this age when
bullying is a big issue in schools.
In addition, Clark is working on two
books. The first, Caught In Between, will be
finished this June and then she hopes to find
a literary agent for it. It is memoir, a com-
ing of age story.
She’s also been inspired to write a book
that she describes as “more edgy and biting”
in which she holds up a mirror to people to
let them see how they are treating the dis-
abled. She noted that the disabled have the
same wants and dreams as other people: a
spouse, children, etc. Yet many times, peo-
ple treat them differently. For example,
some people will pat her on the head as
though they think that if someone is physi-
cally disabled, he must be mentally dis-
abled, too. Others isolate the disabled. For
example, some parents don’t know how to
handle their kids meeting the disabled; they
are afraid of what the children will say.
Since she is small and in a wheelchair, chil-
dren like to come up to Clark. She loves
interacting with kids. Unfortunately, par-
ents are uncomfortable and will try to have
their children turn away when they see
Attention Schools, Organizations, Churches, etc.

Helping Maria Get a Safe Ride
Clark coming in her wheelchair. Once a
parent did that, trying to distract a child by
trying to get him to look into a store win-
dow, which the child clearly had no interest
in seeing. Clark pulled right up next to the
child and commented on the window dis-
play, much to the parent’s shock.
Among Clark’s interests is singing. It
was through that interest, and church mem-
ber Amy Clarkson, that Clark made the con-
nection with the United Presbyterian
Church of Flanders.
For a time, Clarkson gave Clark voice
lessons. After that, they remained friends,
with Clark coming to the church many
times to sing for special events.
“When Maria told me she was looking
for places to host fundraisers for her much
needed van, I approached the church with
the need, and the church responded with
great enthusiasm to the idea. United Maria Clark sings the Thank You song with Blair Academy sophmore, Nikki Thompson.

is what church is all about,” said Clark.
This was the second benefit the church
has held for Clark and Clarkson described it
as “ a lively and spirited evening”. The
more than 100 people who attended were
treated to homemade soups and salad while
listening to members of the congregation
and community share their music.
“A highlight was the very energetic per-
formances by the Mt. Olive High School
Jazz Band and Saxophone Ensemble……
Folk and original music was shared by
Sharleen Leahy, a local folk duo: Kate and

the crowd rocking to ‘Mustang Sally’.
Contemporary Christian songs were shared
by Barbara and Luke Giaquinto, Emily
Silkowski and Nicole Thompson. A youth
band from the church performed ‘Smoke on

Clark performed as well. Backed by the
church Praise Band, “New Song” she sang

extraordinary things for the community.

Andy from Eleventh Hour Rescue was roaming around a
local neighborhood crying throughout this whole terrible
winter. He was finally rescued and is so happy to be back
indoors. Andy was obviously someone's pet at one point- he
is very affectionate and domesticated and uses his litter box
like a very good boy. We suspect that someone moved and
left Andy behind or dumped him off in a strange neighbor-
hood. When we rescued him, we removed a collar that was
extremely tight around his neck. Andy also needed surgery
to remove a stick that was stuck in his gums. Through all of
this, Andy remained a total sweetheart. He is 1-2 years old,
neutered and up to date on shots. Andy is FIV positive. FIV
is contagious to other cats through deep bite wounds. It is
not contagious to humans or dogs. We are looking for a per-
manent home or foster home that will show Andy the love he
deserves. To read more about Andy, to see all of our adopt-
able pets, to see our upcoming events, or to make a dona-

XP Lady, as seen on the Eleventh Hour Rescue website, is a
4 year old Rhodesian Ridgeback mix that needs to find a
new home. The current owners’ living situation here in NJ
has changed and this puts XP Lady in need of a new loving
Family to take this quiet girl into their home. Although she
is shy and reserved at first meeting, given some patience
and understanding she will adapt to new situations, espe-
cially for her favorite treat, liverwurst. She is up to date on
all shots and in very good health. She is such a beautiful
dog to see in person. Don’t miss this opportunity to save
this special girl. To read more about XP Lady, to see all of

Meet Smiley from Eleventh Hour Rescue. She earned that
name because she always has a smile on her face. She is
about 3 years old and is a hound/lab/shepherd mix. Smiley
is a very gentle, sweet girl who just wants to sit by your side
or on your lap and get a nice belly rub. She is very passive
and submissive and would easily fit into any home situation.
She would be especially easy for a first time dog owner to
adopt. To read more about Smiley, to see all of our adopt-

To Help Lady Bug
L
ady Bug from Eleventh Hour
Rescue is going blind and needs
expensive cataract surgery now to
restore her eye sight. “Lady Bug” is a tiny
black poodle that lives up to her name!
Lady Bug had a wonderful home in
Georgia, but her owner found herself home-
less and shelters do not allow dogs. Poor
Lady Bug was given to a hoarder who
already had 16 dogs and 16 cats and could
not take care of all of them. When she
arrived at Eleventh Hour Rescue, her coat
was badly matted and she was in need of a
grooming. After her “day at the spa”, our
volunteers could not believe it was the same
dog!

Thomas Edison’s Bipartisan Friendships –
Hudson Maxim vs. Henry Ford
by Michele Guttenberger
T
homas Edison was loved by the scientific communi-
ty but that does not mean that his friends shared
mutual camaraderie with each other. This was true
between the relationship of industrialist Henry Ford and
inventor and book author Hudson Maxim.
Thomas Edison had a very close relationship with Henry
Ford. Their friendship was so close that the Fords spent the
winter of 1915 at the Edison’s vacation home in Fort Myers.
Henry. Ford purchased the house next door the following
year and for 15 years, both families spent their winter vaca-
tions together.
In September 1915 Thomas Edison was chairman to a
newly formed Navy Advisory Board of Inventions. A
member of this team was Hudson Maxim. Hudson Maxim
was an explosive inventor but more importantly he pub-
lished an influential book titled “Defenseless America”,
where he warned about the threat of war with a well-armed
Germany and advocated a strong navy as the best defense.
Henry Ford felt the best protection was to negotiate for
Peace instead of building up a defense system. He set sail
with a boat of pacifists to Europe to negotiate an agreement
that would end the Great War. His chartered Peace ship was
the Oskar II. It left port from Hoboken, New Jersey on
December 4, 1915. The Ford Peace Ship reached
Stockholm in January, 1916. A conference was organized
with representatives from Denmark, Holland, Norway,
Sweden and the United States. However, Ford was unable
Tell Them You Saw It In The Three Rivers News - April 2011 - Page 31
to persuade participation and representation from the war-
ring nations to this conference. His peace plan failed to
negotiate an Armistice.
Unlike Ford’s Peace voyage, Hudson Maxim’s book on
rearmament (“Defenseless America”) was a big success.
His best-seller went on to inspire a movie "The Battle Cry
of Peace" released by Vitagraph Theater on September 9,
1915. Hudson. Maxim appeared in the movie where he
quoted his warning message from his book. Former
President Theodore Roosevelt, expressed regrets that he
could not be present for the film’s début. The former
President was also a fan of the book.
Henry Ford was incensed by the success of the pro
defense movement that this movie had inspired and the fail-
ure of his own peace mission. On May 5, 1916, he paid to
publish a caustic review of the movie in 250 US newspa-
pers. His critical piece was entitled “Humanity and Sanity."
These actions caused

Company of America to file suit in the New York Supreme
Court for damages of $1,000,000. be chairman of the Navy Advisory Board of Inventions. I
