Return to Story IndexMOTHER'S DAY 100TH
ON THIS CENTENNIAL ANNIVERSARY, JENIFER MCANDREWS TAKES A LOOK AT THE WOMEN OF THE JARVIS FAMILY OF GRAFTON.. THEY'RE THE FORCE BEHIND MOTHER'S DAY. NESTLED IN THE WEST VIRGINIA HILLS OF GRAFTON... STANDS THE INTERNATIONAL MOTHER'S DAY SHRINE... A TRIBUTE TO ANNA JARVIS. THE WOMAN WHO DEVOTED HER LIFE TO APPRECIATING NOT ONLY HER MOTHER... BUT ALL MOTHERS. LINDA SHRIVER/INT'L MOTHER'S DAY SHRINE THE FIRST SERVICE WAS HELD HERE, IT WAS A RELIGIOUS SERVICE. BUT THEN WE TAKE IT OVER TO THE INTERNATIONAL MOTHER'S DAY SHRINE AND WE WERE ABLE TO SHARE ALL THAT HISTORY. THAT FIRST SERVICE WAS HELD IN 1908 AT ANDREWS METHODIST CHRUCH. ANNA JARVIS PASSED OUT WHITE CARNATIONS TO THE CONGREGATION OF THE CHURCH WHERE HER MOTHER TAUGHT FOR 20 YEARS. BUT THE INSPIRATION TO HONOR MOTHERS HAS ORIGINS IN 1905. CINDY MASON/INT'L MOTHER'S DAY SHRINE THIS IS HOW THE LEGEND GOES; THAT WHEN SHE WAS AT THE AGE OF 12 SHE OVERHEARD HER MOTHER IN THE FORMING OF HER MOTHER'S WORK CLUBS, SAY THAT SHE WISHED SOMEDAY, SOMEWAY, SOMEBODY WOULD FORM SOMETHING THAT WOULD HONOR MOTHER'S AND THE SELFLESSNESS WORK THEY DO FOR THEIR FAMILIES AND THEIR COMMUNITIES. ANNA'S MOTHER.. ANN REEVES JARVIS WAS KNOWN IN GRAFTON FOR HER WORK DURING THE CIVIL WAR-- TEACHING WOMEN THE BASICS OF SANITATION AND NURSING, AND LATER UNITING FAMILIES TORN APART BY THE WAR. TWO YEARS AFTER ANN JARVIS DIED, ON THE SECOND SUNDAY IN MAY... ANNA BEGAN HER MISSION. JENIFER MCANDREWS/EYEWITNESS NEWS THE HOLIDAY AS WE KNOW IT BEGAN AS A CONCEPT BY ANNA JARVIS CALLED "MOTHERS DAY ASSOCIATION", AND IT TOOK 6 LONG YEARS BEFORE THE HOLIDAY WAS OFFICIALLY RECOGNIZED. PRESIDENT WOODROW WILSON SIGNED THE BILL IN 1914 FOR THE OFFICIAL MOTHER'S DAY OBSERVATION. IN THE 20's COMMERCIALIZATION BEGAN TO TAKE OVER, WHICH FRUSTRATED JARVIS, WHO HAD INVISIONED MORE PERSONAL TRIBUTES. CINDY MASON/IMDS OF COURSE ANNA SOMETIMES ENGAGED HER MOUTH BEFORE SHE THOUGHT HOW THINGS SOUNDED. SHE WOULD SAY A GREETING CARD WAS A POOR EXCUSE FOR A HANDWRITTEN NOTE. LINDA SHRIVER/IMDS YEARS AGO I WAS DIFFERENT, AND SHE DIDN'T APPRECIATE THAT. SHE FELT THAT THE PERSONALIZATION WAS BEING ROBBED FROM THE HOLIDAY. NOWADAYS, VISITORS TO THE HISTORICAL CHURCH ON MAIN STREET IN GRAFTON, CAN SEE ALL THE MEMORABILIA FILLING THE NOOKS AND CRANNIES OF ST. ANDREWS. LETTERS OF APPPRECIATION AND PHOTES OF AN ERA WHEN HISTORY WAS IN THE MAKING. THE CURATORS OF THE SHRINE HOPE THEIR EFFORTS WILL PRESERVE THE SPIRIT OF MOTHERHOOD FOR GENERATIONS TO COME. IN GRAFTON, JMC EWN THE INTERNATIONAL MOTHER'S DAY SHRINE IS OPEN FOR TOURS FROM TEN IN THE MORNING UNTIL FOUR IN THE EVENING MONDAY THROUGH SATURDAY. IT IS LOCATED IN DOWNTOWN GRAFTON OFF OF ROUTE 50....CALL THE NUMBER ON YOUR SCREEN OR VISIT THEIR WEBSITE FOR MORE DETAILS.

WHAT IS GROWING INSIDE THIS DRUM -- COULD BE AN IMPORTANT KEY TO PREVENTING CANCER. "this is the most dynamic thing you can eat of any fruit or vegetable to prevent cancer." DICK BLACKWELL -- OWNER OF AMALGAMATED PRODUCE -- RENOVATED AN OLD VACANT BUILDING IN BRIDGEPORT -- TO GROW -- BROCCOLI SPROUTS -- OR BROCCOSPROUTS. "it helps prevent all kinds of cancers because it takes the cause of the cancers, the free radicals." RESEARCHERS AT JOHNS HOPKINS FOUND THIS VEGETABLE CONTAINS A LONG-LASTING ANTIOXIDANT-- KNOWN AS S-G-S ... WHICH STUDIES SHOW .. LOWERS THE RISK OF CANCER. "his research has shown it actually takes out free radicals from the human body, and over six weeks, one four ounce package will take out about 82 percent of free radicals out of the human body." THE GROWING PROCESS BEGINS WITH SEEDS .. "its a certain variety of seeds, its a natural.. its harvested from broccoli plants." THEY ROTATE AND ARE WATERED IN A DRUM IN A TIMELY MANNER FOR FOUR DAYS -- FLOURISHING UNDER FLOURESCENT LIGHTS. "we send them out to supermarkets all over New England.." TWO TIME BREAST CANCER SURVIVOR PAM CAMERON IS GETTING AN EDUCATION ON THE BROCCOSPROUTS. "would you use it as seasoning on sandwiches?" "you can put them anywhere you would lettuce.. basically." LIVING A HEALTHY LIFESTYLE -- IS PART OF PAM'S REGIMEN IN HER FIGHT AGAINST CANCER. "I try to get to the gym two to three times a week. I try to eat healthy, chocolate is a little bit of my downfall but I try to eat vegetables as much as possible." WHAT ABOUT BROCCOSPROUTS? "I had never heard of SGS and I wasn't even sure what a broccosprout was actually." NOW ARMED WITH KNOWLEDGE -- SHE'S WILLING TO TRY WHAT OTHER PEOPLE HAVE ALREADY DISCOVERED. DICK BLACKWELL IS ONE OF THIRTEEN GROWERS IN THE U-S LICENSED TO GROW BROCCO-SPROUTS. FIVE PERCENT OF THE REVENUE GOES TO FUND CANCER RESEARCH AT JOHNS HOPKINS.
