Stutts makes it all seem so easy, as he’s won numerous gold medals in Special Olympics Skating, as well as first place for individ- ual and team bowling. Stutts was born in Co- lumbia and adopted by his parents Bob and Maria Stutts Cedar Grove Teen Wins Several Special Olympics Medals in 1999 when he was seven- months-old. He was “always very happy,” according to Maria. As a child Stutts loved playing with the two family dogs and watching “Daytona 500” with his fa- ther. But being in special edu- cation was difficult, said his mother. “He wasn’t in a regular classroom,” she said. “He didn’t develop friendships; he didn’t develop as a child. He was in a room with four or six kids. There wasn’t that much awareness [about autism back then].” Though, once his parents found out about special needs programs and got him involved, Stutts began to excel. His journey in sports began with Special Angels starting out with t-ball, soc- cer, and flag football. Two years later Stutts got occupied with the Special Olympics at Lyndhurst Recreation and learned, bocce and bowling. “This is where Robert im- proved his skills. I think [special needs] kids excel at the individual sports; team sports are more difficult,” Maria said. “He has some re- ally good friends. It was very fortunate for us.” Around the same time Stutts began ice skating with the Essex Special Skaters and advanced from level one to level three. Maria said, “His coaches Heidi Dander- hoof and David Litowitz re- ally helped him a lot with everything he has learned and is still learning.” At level four in ice skating Stutts’ per- formances include: waltz jump, one-foot spin, sit spin, camel spin and lunges. In addition to all his other athletic passions, Stutts is fond of surfing in the sum- mertime. Though he excels at sports, he has different aspi- rations for his future, as he likes to draw and sees him- self as an artist. In 2012 Stutts won a Certificate of Achievement for second place for the NJ State Elks Special Needs Camp Poster Contest. In 2013 he participated in an art show fundraiser for service dogs, where he won a certificate and sold some of his artwork. He said, “I draw different cartoon characters. Some are Disney characters. I really want to try to go to college and get into a career that involves becoming a cartoonist and working for an art studio. I always wanted to work for Disney.” In Stutts’ free time, he volunteers at Genesis Health Care in Whippany, a nursing home in which he assists the dietary department in trans- porting patients to and from the dining room. “They really love having me,” said Stutts. “I try to cheer them up if they’re re- ally down. Some may not have much family.” As a parent Maria is so proud of her son. She said, “He tries hard. He’s deter- mined. He really excels in everything he goes for. Now we’re working with him on life skills.”

    Parmesan crustedbreaded pork-chops,yellow rice withsauted carrots and sweetpeas, amazing salad withdressing, fresh biscuits, in-dividual apple pies, toppedall off with chocolate pud-ding. Reminds someone of a

    delicious, home-cookeddinner on a relaxing Sundayevening- and exactly themeal received by somelocal individuals recentlycooked and delivered by thevolunteers of the SundaySupper Program throughFirst Presbyterian Church inVerona. Prepared every first Sat-

    urday of the month, and de-livered the next day, theSunday Supper program hasbeen providing meals tofamilies in need, seniors liv-ing alone as well as at anelderly care facility for thepast four years. Recipientsare identified throughVeronas Socials ServiceDepartment, says EileenKuhn of West Caldwell, co-ordinator of the churchsSunday Supper program.We serve the kind of

    meal we would serve ourfamily, explains Kuhn, an

    old fashion-Sunday Supper.We give them something to-tally different each firstSunday of the month.The church allocated

    $1,500 to the organizers tomanage the program andevery single penny afterthat has been raised throughfundraisers and donations,she explains. This yearshuge fundraiser is actu-ally coming up Sun., May22, with the Sunday Sup-pers first annual barbecueto be held at the First Pres-byterian Church parking lot,or indoors in the church hallif it rains.The barbecue is set to be

    held between 3 p.m. and 7p.m. Cost is $15 plus a canfood donation. Proceedswill go to the Sunday Sup-per program, and the cansof food will be given to thenewly established HolySpirit Food Bank located atGould Place in Verona. Thefood bank just opened foroperation April 23 and is inneed of food donations,says Kuhn.Kuhn started the Sunday

    Suppers program in 2012,with church membersCianna and Beverly Win-kler. The idea developedafter Kuhn was participat-

    ing in a soup kitchen thathad seized operations.The First Presbyterian

    Church had been sendingvolunteers to a soup kitchenat a church in Irvington foryears, explains Kuhn, butwhen that program ended,Kuhn realized that effortswere needed to help morepeople locally. People think where we

    live there isnt a need, shesays, So I brought it to mychurch. A feasibility studywas then conducted and itwas determined that there isvery much a need for fami-lies or individuals who donot get a home cookedmeal.It fills a need within our

    community, says Kuhn.We are service driven notonly because of the church,because its the right thingto do and its a lot of fun.We have a blast when weare in the kitchen doing theprep.When the program first

    began, 13 families wereidentified by social servicesin town; that number hassince grown to 39 families,she says. A good portion ofthe recipients are individualseniors who receive Mealson Wheels during the week.

    Barbecue Fundraiser Cookin To Support Sunday Suppers In Verona Sunday Suppers is a ben-

    efit as it provides thathome-cooked meal on aSunday, and extra portionsfor more than one meal. We prep to make sure

    they get more than one mealout of it, says Kuhn, whohas her safe-food handlingcertificate.In establishing the pro-

    gram, Kuhn spoke with anutritionist because weneeded to be careful howwe do this. Providing awell-balanced nutritiousmeal is necessary as well asdetermining any allergies ordietary restrictions from therecipients.Volunteers vary each

    month, says Kuhn but theyhave come from variousgroups such as Girl Scouts,personal friends, Miss

    America group, confirmation class. Last month there was only three of us;

    the month before that there were eight peo-ple in the kitchen, she says. All food is prepared in the churchs com-

    mercial kitchen. Each meal includes an en-tre, two sides, fresh bread and dessert. Ive never duplicated a meal, says

    Kuhn, who always makes something differ-ent. But its going to be good; its going tobe well-balanced. I keep a book of variousideas. Whatever is on sale I will pull fromthat. I never know what Im serving until Igo shopping.Cost conservative, Kuhn says I usually

    get cost down to $3.25 to $3.50 per meal in-cluding containers. Meals are delivered the first Sunday of

    the month; Wayne and Zachary Winklerhelp deliver the meals the next day with agood majority going to the Hillwood SeniorHousing Complex in Verona, says Kuhn.It really does serve a purpose, says

    Kuhn. If they cant create on their own,they wont eat on the weekend. Were allgonna be old one day; always show respectto our elders. The Winklers also take some time to

    speak with the residents on their deliveries,which sends the recipients an importantmessage.When they see the community helping

    them, it makes them feel they have not beenforgotten, says Kuhn. Recipients look soforward; even the three minutes of conver-sation; It does really brighten the day. Foodis like music; its international. It alwaysbrings a sense of closeness.

    The first year for the barbecue, Kuhn isconfident in her plans. She has had FishFrys in the past, which is like a fish andchips type meal but with British fish.At the Sunday Supper Fundraiser Com-

    munity Barbecue, participants can expecttraditional fare such as hamburgers, hotdogs, grilled barbecue chicken, salads, wa-termelon and even baked beans, drinks anddessert.The Winkler men will be the grill mas-

    ters for the day. I got this; I know what Im doing, says

    Kuhn. I come from a family of chefs.Her grandfather, Hobson Benton of New

    York was a master chef at Luchows restau-rant in NY for 40 years, she says. Her son,Carlos, is a Sioux chef in St. Thomas VirginIslands.Everyone in my family loves to cook,

    says Kuhn, who works full-time as an ad-ministrator for a general contractor.Around the holidays, the kitchen is a verydangerous place to be. If support of the program continues to

    grow, Kuhn hopes to one day expand theprogram to provide meals every Sundayand to get other churches involved. Recipients of the program are identified

    through social services. Contact ConniePfiefer from Verona Social Services De-partment at 973-857-4832 to fill out an ap-plication, which is necessary to determineany food restrictions. If interested in volunteering, call Kuhn

    at 862-703-8421; or the church at 973-239-3561. Donations always accepted; sendchecks, made payable to Sunday Supper, toFirst Presbyterian Church in Verona.

    Many more have heard her cries forhelp, and although wonderful,the need in affording a storageplace to house all of the generous furnituredonations is that much greater.Founder and Director Sandra Ramos of

    Strengthen Our Sisters (SOS) has found avacant store at 1621 Hamburg Turnpike inWayne and has a vision of opening a storethere to keep all of the furniture donationsmuch needed by the women she sheltersthrough her organization. The 6,000 squarefoot space used to be a florist shop, shesays.Its a great location; has a lot of room;

    its long, says Ramos of Ringwood. Weget so much stuff that we have to turn itdown. We have nowhere to keep it.Since her call for help a few months ago

    seeking contributors to help pay for themortgage at a lower interest rate to keepSOS afloat, Ramos has received close to 30calls from people who have furniture dona-tions. Some of it we took, she says. If do-nations continue to come in, Ramos sayswe could sell it at the store and help sup-port SOS.Established in 1977 as Shelter Our Sis-

    ters - the first shelter for battered women inNorth America- the community-based non-profit organization changed its name toStrengthen Our Sisters and has since grownto eight houses, two day care centers, a foodpantry and a thrift store.

    Through SOS, Ramos provides housingfor 155 women and children in shelters lo-cated in New Foundland, Wanaque andWest Milford.The store in Wayne would be rented to

    her for $5,000 per month, she says. Withideas already sprouting, she has creativeways to use the space in addition to furni-ture storage.She was thinking it could be used as a

    jazz caf to feature some students who per-form; or even as a craft store, as a place forthe women in her shelter to show off theirmany talents such as artistic ability and sellitems for profit.We have so many women with talents

    who are living poverty stricken, saysRamos. We have women who are artistic.They can make dolls and pictures, hand-made clothes and ceramics. One of herhouses is for older women and they ownedbusinesses, she says.We want to be economically independ-

    ent rather than dependent, she adds. Thewomen can become economically suffi-cient.Ramos experience in working 15 years

    as a waitress in a jazz place, Mikells in NY,can now come into play if her plans carryto fruition.For those who would like to help by ei-

    ther continuing to donate furniture, as wellas money to offset the mortgage, or who hasan idea for a better and yet more affordablestore location, call Ramos at 973-831-6156.

    FAMILY OWNED BUSINESS SINCE 1947

    By Cheryl Conway

    Its all about partnerships at Spectrum Works in Secau-cus. A non-profit company, Spectrum Works has teamedup with a for-profit company while the student employ-ees gain skills by working alongside a mentor or coach.The strategy has so far been a success. The pilot pro-

    gram that started almost three years ago recently ended andis growing to include a partnership with another for-profitcompany- a large international distribution company alsoin Secaucus- with talks to expand with a third company inNJ. The goal is to eventually branch out into New York andthen around the country.They [Spectrum] are branching out into other partner

    companies, says Ann Marie Sullivan of Wayne, chief ex-ecutive officer and founder of Spectrum Works. The mis-sion of Spectrum Works is to give employmentopportunities to individuals with autism.Sullivan had been working as a for-profit entrepreneur

    with publishing companies in Europe when she stumbledacross a working environment that put some things in a dif-ferent perspective.I wanted to do something entrepreneurial but with a

    non-profit social enterprise, she explains.I was volunteering as a non-profit consultant in New

    York City, she explains. We were asked by an organiza-

    tion in New York to evaluate a program. I was asked tocome in to make it better. When she walked in the door ofa building in NY, she noticed a small screen printing com-pany with employees faced with developmental or intellec-tual disabilities.I didnt have any association with anyone with differ-

    ent abilities, she admits, so seeing such a productive groupcaught her attention. They were productive and talkinglike any other environment or business. It was a specialplace.When Sullivan found out that this business was going

    to shut down, she realized that the concept of providing jobopportunities for individuals that face challenges could belarger.She thought, What could we do; what model could we

    put in place? What vision can we change; changing the per-ception of people; not only the awareness but the under-standing of that? Sullivan decided that people with autism need greater

    support in the work place.Everybody knows someone with autism, says Sulli-

    van. I dont have any connection, she adds, but the sta-tistics are troubling.According to research, 500,000 people with autism are

    scheduled to graduate from high school in the next 10 years

    throughout the U.S. Also, NJ has the highest number of in-dividuals with autism in the U.S., with a 12 percent in-crease in NJ for kids with autism. Statistics reveal that onein 68 individuals in the U.S. have autism, in which one outof 42 is boys.Out of those individuals with autism, 80 percent are un-

    employed, she cites. It is encouraged that students with autism stay in high

    school until they are 21 so they can learn more things andstay in programs for development, says Sullivan.Some question, can people with autism work in a com-

    petitive environment? Answer is no, says Sullivan.Theres nothing really out there for them. We believe it ispossible.Her idea was to have individuals with autism work

    alongside those in competitive employment, a term usedby government which means people who are neuro-typicalor without autism, she explains.How can we create a supportive environment for indi-

    viduals to work in competitive employment? she chal-lenged. Idea is to make them independent. By workingalongside a mentor or coach, they will become more in-dependent.

    We encourage integrated employment, she says.

    They have potential and can work. They have average orhigher than average IQs. They just need opportunities. Sullivan was going to start her own manufacturing com-

    pany so decided to visit Green Distribution, a for-profitscreen printing, company to get some ideas and see its ma-chinery.When I met the owner [Robert Butters] and I told him

    what we were going to do, he said Why dont you partnerwith us?An opportunity she could not refuse, Sullivan began her

    company, Spectrum Works, which stems from autism spec-trum disorders. She started out as a pilot program almostthree years ago, in August 2013.This organization is unique, says Sullivan. We part-

    ner with for-profit companies. Students who attend highschool come to work at the business with all arrangementsmade through their school including selection approval andtransportation, she says.For the pilot program, Spectrum Works partnered with

    Green Distribution from 2013 to 2015; since that ended,she has continued the partnership and even Green has hiredsome of her interns to join his workforce, she says.Spectrum Works helps to manufacture custom printed

    screen apparel. Students have been involved with helpingto print 65,000 t-shirts a day, as well as other promotionalitems through a distributor such as water bottles, pens, polo

    shirts, sweatshirts.Its a very large factory, says Sullivan. Many of the

    orders are universal music t-shirts; other orders have beenfor Shoprite, towns, recreation programs and some corpo-rate deals.Students get paid a salary, minimum wage, to work

    alongside people without autism who serve as coaches. Theenvironment has been helping the employees who haveautism to be prepared for the work experience, says Sul-livan.We partner with high schools in five counties in NJ,

    she says. Schools handle transportation in getting the students to

    the one large facility in Secaucus, with some coming as faras Short Hills and Millburn. Spectrum is now in the processof expanding and adding a second facility, but Sullivan saidit was too soon to reveal the for-profit company name.Currently, 40 students are involved in the internship pro-

    gram. Employees must be at least 16 years; most workthree days a week, four hours a day-typically 9:30 a.m. to2 p.m.- and are involved in manual labor to office work.They are part of the production team, says Sullivan.

    Some work tasks include after-screen printing like puttingtags on, bagging, making and filling boxes, sorting sizes,putting orders together by finding, folding and packing.Work is done in an assembly line. There are also admin-

    istrative tasks, graphic design, creating spreadsheets on

    database, making packing lists.We find out what they are interested in and gear them

    toward that, she says.The partnership works as we fund ourselves out of the

    product at a competitive price.Companies can support the program and help young

    adults with autism by placing orders for t-shirts and otheritems through Spectrum Works. So far 80 companies haveplaced orders throughout the tri-state area, says Sullivan. Sponsoring fundraisers is another option to help fund

    the program. Mission Fitness in Livingston raised $10,000in its April fundraiser with its cross-fit gym to supportSpectrum.Sullivan plans to look into some grants and plans to start

    a crowd-raising campaign with Rutgers in the near future.Spectrums program for students extends into the sum-

    mer as it also employs college students and other employ-ees. Sullivan says they will be adding courses as well suchas job writing skills, interview strategies and resume build-ing.Enrollment is continuous. Students can contact their

    high school now for consideration into next school yearsprogram.For more information, to fundraise, donate or place or-

    ders, visit spectrumworks.org or email [email protected] or email [email protected].

    Fathers Day is an annual celebrationof fathers and the contributions theymake to their families. Dads get theirdue on Fathers Day, when sons, daughtersand wives typically give dad a few gifts toshow their appreciation for all he has donefor them and how much he means to them.Finding the right Fathers Day gift is not

    always so easy. No two fathers are thesame, so while a silk necktie might bring asmile to one fathers face, such a gift mayfall flat with other dads. By asking them-selves a few questions in the weeks beforetheir dads big day, Fathers Day shopperscan narrow down their options and findgifts that Dad will appreciate.What are Dads hobbies?Even if your father or husband loves

    what he does for a living, a gift that in-dulges one of his favorite hobbies may bejust the thing to make this Fathers Dayextra special. Outdoorsmen may prefersome new camping or fishing gear, whilefathers who have an artistic side may prefersome new paint brushes and canvasses. IfDads a car guy, book a day at a nearby

    racetrack where he can race around thetrack and embrace his inner race car driver.What does Dad need?Sometimes the best gifts are what a re-

    cipient needs as opposed to what he wants.If you no longer live at home, ask yourmother if theres anything your father needsthat would make his life easier or more en-joyable. If you live at home, pay close at-tention to your father to see if theresanything that could lighten his load. For ex-ample, if Dad loves spending time in thegarden, take a sneak peek at his gardeningtools and replace any that have grown dullor rusty.What does Dad want?For the Dad who doesnt seem to need

    anything, consider something he may wantthat hes never had before. If Dad loves tocook but has never had formal training, en-roll him in a cooking class. If Dad loves alocal sports team but hasnt been to a gamein years, purchase tickets to a game and gowith him to make the day even more spe-cial.Is Dad a techie?

    Find The Right Fathers Day Gift

    Dads with a love for technology are liv-ing in the golden age of gadgets. FathersDay shoppers looking to satisfy their fa-thers love of technology have a host ofpossibilities at their disposal. Even if Dadis an early adopter who tends to get all thelatest gadgets before anyone else, the techindustry evolves so rapidly that youre

    bound to find something new on Dadswish list that he hasnt purchased yet.Finding the right Fathers Day gift can

    be challenging. But shoppers who stop tothink about their father and what makes thefamily patriarch happy can unearth a hostof gift ideas that Dad is sure to love.

    Passing on the familybusiness has been thetradition for the past100 years for Terzako Fursin Caldwell. Michael Kam-bourakis and his son, Elias,have continued the traditionof being in the fur businessfor 10 generations, follow-ing in the footsteps ofMichaels grandfather, EricRouskas and his uncleHarry Terzako.It started when the two

    decided to leave Kastoria,Greece in 1913. Kastoriawas and still is the genesisof fur in Europe.Rouskas and Terzako

    settled in Newark. Theystarted in working for Best& Company and on the sidethey made fur coats, collarsand trimmings. At that time, America

    was the land of skins andtrapping of wild broad tail,mink, muskrat, raccoonsand beavers. Foxes camelater on in the 1930's.When farming started in

    the 1930's and 1940's thefamily got better qualitymink and fox pelts. The furindustry grew to a point thatit is now all over the world.The family opened a

    store on High Street inNewark, then moved to 19Prospect Street in East Or-ange. They moved to theCaldwells in the early1970's. The family mem-bers continued to be a partof the business.During high school and

    college, Kambourakisbegan to work in the busi-ness. After graduating col-lege and graduate school, hebecame a specialist in thespectrum of autism. Hislove of family made himdecide to become the ninthgeneration in Terzako furs,

    and his son Elias has joinedhim and is now the 10thgeneration.Terzako Furs is a full

    service furrier, gearing itsbusiness to custom work,and are one of the few cus-tom houses in the country.The sources for the furshave grown to be all overthe world. Thousands ofsatisfied customers from thetri-state area continue tobuy fur coats, jackets, vestsand other unique fur itemsfrom Terzako Furs. In addi-tion the store makes onpremise raincoats, shear-lings, capes and fur blan-kets. Several years it beganto import leathers fromItaly. And when it comes to

    storing and cleaning furs forthe summer, the stores on-site fur vaults are the perfectvacation place! Of courseTerzako had a complimen-tary remodeling consulta-tion and will update old fursto the latest style.According to Kam-

    bourakis, his fur business isimportant, but his humani-tarian work is his passion.He initiated helping thepeople of The DominicanRepublic years ago by him-

    self, as he saw the need forclean water, educationalsupplies, clothing so kidscould go to school medi-cines and anything else hethought would help the peo-ple become educated, andhealthy.His dreams of a medical

    facility has become a realitythanks to support of doctors,hospitals and the CaldwellRotary, where he is a veryactive member, among othersponsors. He has been re-sponsible in raising funds forfive buildings and the clinicin partnership with LIGGlobal & Global Healthfrom Barnabas Health andRobert Wood Johnson. Visitdominicanrelief.org formore information.Kambourakis family

    who came to Americawould surely be proud ofhis success in the familybusiness they started, andalso of the good deeds thatbenefit people with his car-ing, warm heart.To celebrate its 100th an-

    niversary, they are offeringa store wide 20 percent offshowroom sale until June30. Stay tuned for otherevents that will be happen-ing throughout the year.

    An emergency shelter operation hasbeen set up at St. Huberts AnimalWelfare Center in Madison to wel-come and care for more than 120 dogs res-cued by Humane Society International (HSI)from a dog meat farm in South Korea. Thedogs began arriving on April 26 and arebeing provided medical treatment, time foradjustment and will later be put up for adop-tion.The dogs are part of a group of 250 dogs

    and puppies rescued by HSIs Animal Res-cue Team from a dog meat farm in Wonju,South Korea. The case is part of HSIs effortsto redirect farmers to engage in other eco-nomic activities and who agree to perma-nently end the farming of dogs for the meattrade and dismantle the cages. The farmerwho released these animals will now begrowing mushrooms; other farmers HSI hasworked with have chosen to grow blueber-ries.

    We are proud to welcome these deserv-ing animals and make sure their stories aretold to help effect change, said HeatherCammisa, president and CEO of St. Hu-berts. Two of the Huskies were so happy tosee one another again, they were face lickingand frolicking in the cage when reunited. Itis important for the world to see the individ-uals impacted. Kelly OMeara, director of companion

    animals and engagement for HSI, said, Weare so grateful to St. Huberts for partneringwith us to provide the immediate statesidecare for these animals and be one of ourplacement partners for these animals to beginlives anew.The dogs will be placed through shelters

    across the North East. St. Huberts estimatesthey will keep twenty or so dogs for directplacement. For more information, includingthe other agencies that will be placing ani-mals for adoption, visit www.sthuberts.org.
