By Jason Cohen In part of Rise & Flour-ish: The Campaign forNewark Academy in
Livingston, the schoolbroke ground on the expan-sion of the middle schoollast month. This $11.3 million proj-
ect will provide the schoolwith the enhancements itneeds to serve the studentsfor many generations andincludes 10 new class-rooms, three science labora-tories and a 2,000 squarefoot common area. The middle school ex-
Pictured, from left, holding shovels, are: Kaya Rajparia of Short Hills, member of the first eighthgrade class that graduate from the expanded NA Middle School in the 2017-2018 academic year;Middle School Principal Tom Ashburn of Long Valley; Head of School Donald Austin of Maplewood;Board of Trustee and Campaign Executive Committee member Jane Wilf of Livingston; Mark Wilfof Livingston; Board of Trustees Chair David McGraw of Short Hills.
Livingston’s Newark Academy Breaks Ground On New Middle Schoolpansion is the third phase ofthe campaign and is antici-pated to be finished in thefall of 2017. In 2012, a newUpper School AcademicCenter and outdoor athleticfacilities were completedduring phases one and twoof the campaign. The finaland fourth part will be therenovation of the art spacein a few years.“It’s kind of a genera-
tional investment in thecampus,” said MiddleSchool Principal Tom Ash-burn. “They’re (students,faculty and parents) reallyexcited. It will be great tohave a dedicated science labat each grade level.”According to Ashburn,
this is the largest campaignin school history and can beattributed to generous dona-tions from alumni. Whilethe school has only existedfor half a century, the hopeis these upgrades will helpit last 50 more, he stressed. Ashburn explained to the
Hanover News that theseimprovements will benefit
the students, especially onesinterested in science. Thekids will have more of anopportunity to not only dogroup work, but be able to
conduct long term experi-ments such as how cock-roaches grow and change.Additionally, the new com-mon space will allow the
school to hold large assem-blies, concerts, shows,meetings and many otherevents.

Coincidentally, unrelated to the cam-paign, all of the classrooms will have brightline projectors and Mac computers in thefall. When the board of trustees began the
project, it elicited input from teachers andparents, all of which embraced it, he re-marked. With an average class size of 14kids, students will have the chance to growacademically, Ashburn said. “We’ve been here 50 years and this is re-
ally an investment in the facility for the next
50 years,” he said. The Newark Academy Trustees, with
shovels in hand, held a ground breakingceremony on April 12 to expand the middleschool as students watched.Head of School Donald Austin of
Maplewood opened the ceremony and wel-comed the audience of NA trustees, facultyand staff, students, parents and grandpar-ents, alumni and friends. “Today’s ceremony is the culmination of
a more than three-year effort,” said Austin.
Academy Breaks Ground...
“We have all shared the same vision - thatour outstanding Middle School curriculumand the students for whom that curriculumexists – have a first-rate facility in which tolearn, grow and prepare for the future.”The ceremony concluded as Short Hills
resident David McGraw, chair of the Boardof Trustees thanked all the people who
made the groundbreaking event possiblethrough their generous donations. Founded in 1774, Newark Academy has
a rich history as an independent, coeduca-tional school located on a beautiful 68-acrecampus in northern NJ. The enrollment atthe Academy is 582 girls and boys from 81communities in grades six through 12.

By Anastasia MarcheseOn Friday, May 20, at6 p.m., Relay forLife is set to take
place at West Orange HighSchool. Kyra Miller, a com-munity manager for Relayfor Life at the AmericanCancer Society, said this isan all night event, “to sym-bolize a cancer patient's jour-ney. Cancer never sleeps andneither will we.”The relay is a walk/run
around the high school trackthat continues for 12 hours.Teams consist of at least fourmembers but can include up-wards of 40 people. The ideais that at least one member ofthe team will be on the trackat all times either walking orrunning. The event begins with an
opening ceremony at 7 p.m.The participants are wel-comed and there is also aspeech by a survivor as wellas a caregiver, each of whomshare a bit of their stories. The opening lap is the
survivor's lap, where cancersurvivors walk the track tothe applause and encourag-ing cheers of all present.Later, there are luminaries
set up all around the track.The luminaries can be dedi-cated “in honor of” or “in
memory of” a cancer sur-vivor, cancer victim or care-giver. Once the luminariesare all set up and lit, there isa lap of silence to rememberthose who have fallen in thebattle against cancer. At 7:45 p.m. there is a
survivors’ reception to honorthose present who have hadcancer. Dinner, massages,goody bags and other specialtreatment will be offered tothe cancer survivors, “toshow them that they are thestars of our relay,” saidMiller.There are teams from all
over the community. One ofthe largest teams comes fromSt. Barnabas Medical Center.Many members of the oncol-ogy team take part and someyears there are more than 40members on their team.Many businesses as well asreligious and community or-ganizations also come to takea stand and raise funds in thefight against cancer.“We get a diverse out-
pouring from the commu-nity,” said Miller, who alsosaid that this is the 11thRelay for Life that has beenheld in West Orange. Throughout the U.S.,
there are about 5,000 of theseevents held annually, with
around 100 of these takingplace in NJ. The SpringfieldOffice of American CancerSociety’s Relay for Life,which manages the West Or-ange Event, organizes 33 re-lays a year.
This string of nationalevents can trace its rootsback to one man. Accordingto the ACS website, “Oneperson can make a differ-ence.”Nowhere is that more ev-
ident than the story of Dr.Gordy Klatt and the Ameri-can Cancer Society RelayFor Life event that started inTacoma, Wash., as the Cityof Destiny Classic 24-HourRun Against Cancer in 1985.In May 1985, Klatt spent agrueling 24 hours circling thetrack at Baker Stadium at theUniversity of Puget Sound inTacoma. Friends, family, andpatients watched and sup-ported him as he ran andwalked more than 83.6 milesand raised $27,000 throughpledges for the fight againstcancer. As he circled thetrack, he thought of how hecould get others to take part.He envisioned having teamsparticipate in a 24-hour eventto raise money to fight can-cer. In 1986, 19 teams werepart of the first relay event at
Teams Ready For 11th Annual Relay For Life In WOthe historical Stadium Bowland raised $33,000.Gordy's vision has grown
into a nationwide event rais-ing nearly $5 billion infundraising to save livesfrom cancer. In addition, theAmerican Cancer Society li-censes 20 non-governmentalcancer organizations in othercountries to hold Relay ForLife events to battle canceracross the globe.As Gordy would still say,
"Keep up the fight!” Klattdied in 2014 as the result ofcomplications from stomachcancer. Although he lost hisfight against cancer in theend, still millions of peoplebenefit from his legacy.If anyone wishes to take
part in this year's relay, signup online or on site the dayof the event. Signing up prior

By Cheryl ConwayMany more have heard her cries forhelp, and although wonderful,the need in affording a storage
place 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 in
Wayne 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.“It’s a great location; has a lot of room;
it’s long,” says Ramos of Ringwood. “Weget so much stuff that we have to turn it
Pioneer For Battered Women’s Shelter Finds Creative Ways To Carry On Her Missiondown. 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 says“we 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 housing
for 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 ajazz café 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, Mikell’s 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.

tinued the tradition of being in the fur business for 10 gen-erations, following in the footsteps of Michael’sgrandfather, Eric Rouskas and his uncle Harry Terzako.It started when the two decided to leave Kastoria,
Greece in 1913. Kastoria was and still is the genesis of furin Europe.Rouskas and Terzako settled in Newark. They started
in working for Best & Company and on the side they madefur coats, collars and trimmings. At that time, America was the land of skins and trapping
of wild broad tail, mink, muskrat, raccoons and beavers.Foxes came later on in the 1930's.When farming started in the 1930's and 1940's the fam-
ily got better quality mink and fox pelts. The fur industrygrew to a point that it is now all over the world.The family opened a store on High Street in Newark,
then moved to 19 Prospect Street in East Orange. Theymoved to the Caldwells in the early 1970's. The familymembers continued to be a part of the business.During high school and college, Kambourakis began to
work in the business. After graduating college and gradu-ate school, he became a specialist in the spectrum ofautism. His love of family made him decide to become theninth generation in Terzako furs, and his son Elias has
joined him and is now the 10th generation.Terzako Furs is a full service furrier, gearing its business
to custom work, and are one of the few custom houses inthe country. The sources for the furs have grown to be allover the world. Thousands of satisfied customers from thetri-state area continue to buy fur coats, jackets, vests andother unique fur items from Terzako Furs. In addition thestore makes on premise raincoats, shearlings, capes and furblankets. Several years it began to import leathers fromItaly. And when it comes to storing and cleaning furs for the
summer, the store’s on-site fur vaults are the perfect vaca-tion place! Of course Terzako had a complimentary remod-eling consultation and will update old furs to the lateststyle.According to Kambourakis, his fur business is impor-
tant, but his humanitarian work is his passion. He initiatedhelping the people of The Dominican Republic years agoby himself, as he saw the need for clean water, educationalsupplies, clothing so kids could go to school medicines andanything else he thought would help the people become ed-ucated, and healthy.His dreams of a medical facility has become a reality
thanks to support of doctors, hospitals and the Caldwell Ro-tary, where he is a very active member, among other spon-sors. He has been responsible in raising funds for fivebuildings and the clinic in partnership with LIG Global &
Fur Store Owner Continues To Warm Customers After A Century Of Business

surely be proud of his success in the family business theystarted, and also of the good deeds that benefit people withhis caring, warm heart.To celebrate its 100th anniversary, they are offering a
store wide 20 percent off showroom sale until June 30. Staytuned for other events that will be happening throughoutthe year.

According to the National Institute ofMental Health, panic disorder is atype of anxiety disorder characterized
by recurrent, unexpected panic attacks. Panicattacks occur suddenly and are periods of in-tense fear that may include palpitations,pounding heartbeat and/or accelerated heartrate. People in the midst of a panic attack mayalso experience shortness of breath or feel asthough they are choking or being smothered.Feelings of impending doom may also occur
during a panic attack. Anxiety disorders, in-cluding panic disorders, may be caused bythe interaction of certain genetic and environ-mental factors. These factors include behav-ioral inhibition in childhood, exposure tostressful life events in childhood and adult-hood, anxiety disorders in close biologicalrelatives and a parental history of mental dis-orders. Anxiety disorders are generallytreated with psychotherapy or medication, ora combination of both.

By Cheryl ConwayIt’s 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 a 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 didn’t 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 don’t 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.“There’s 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 IQ’s. 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 don’t 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.“It’s 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.Spectrum’s 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 year’sprogram.For more information, to fundraise, donate or place or-
ders, visit spectrumworks.org or email [email protected] or email [email protected].

kind in the country. Sponsorships con-tinue to be the foundation of the Walk/5KRun’s success as well as the grass rootsefforts of hundreds of Walk Captains andtheir teams.Bunny Flanders, director of Marketing
says, “The individuals and businesses do-nating to the Walk have made it a priorityto support the communities in which theiremployees live and work. We applaudtheir commitment and willingness to giveback and take great pride in sharing someof the major sponsor’s names: AtlanticHealth, Barnabas Health, Burger KingU.S. Trust, Wakefern Food Corp. and theInserra, Saker and Village ShopRite Fam-ilies and JAG Physical Therapy, under-writer of the 5K Run.”
Flanders cites the 5K Run as a perfectexample of the event’s evolution into acommunity-wide happening.“In the earlier years, the race attracted
fewer than one hundred participants. Adecade later, thanks to increased publicityparticularly by area running clubs, one
thousand runners signed up for USATrack & Field sanctioned event,” she re-counts. Local sponsors will provide compli-
mentary food and beverages and enter-tainment will include carnival activities,live music, and face painting.After their nine-year-old daughter Va-
lerie succumbed to cancer, Sue and EdGoldstein were determined that no familyshould have to travel great distances to re-ceive superior medical care. Along with agroup of close friends, they beganfundraising efforts from their living room-tireless work that would lead to the 1977opening of New Jersey’s first pediatric on-cology facility at Summit Overlook’sHospital. Forty years later, The ValerieFund’s mission remains that of supportingcomprehensive health care for childrenbattling cancer and blood disorders.For more information, please contact

The farmer who released these an-imals will now be growing mushrooms;other farmers HSI has worked with havechosen to grow blueberries.“We are proud to welcome these de-
serving animals and make sure their sto-ries are told to help effect change,” saidHeather Cammisa, president and CEO ofSt. Hubert’s. “Two of the Huskies were sohappy to see one another again, they wereface licking and frolicking in the cagewhen reunited. It is important for theworld to see the individuals impacted.” Kelly O’Meara, director of companion
animals and engagement for HSI, said,“We are so grateful to St. Hubert’s forpartnering with us to provide the immedi-ate stateside care for these animals and beone of our placement partners for theseanimals to begin lives anew.”The dogs will be placed through shel-

By Michele GuttenbergerThe hallmark of everysuccessful business-man is to own a fam-
ily mansion and to have astate of the art garage.Thomas Edison had both.His Glenmont estate
home in West Orange thathe purchased in 1886 wasthe decorating and designconcept of the formerowner Henry C Pedder.However, Edison’s garagewas his own innovative de-sign and creation that hebuilt in 1908. Edison over-saw the construction him-self because it was anentirely new creation inbuilding construction.Building his private
garage helped him to launchhis new business venture –a patented technique of con-structing mass-produced,poured-cement housesusing iron molds. Hisgarage and the original Yan-kee stadium became thesame cement poured by hisown Edison Portland Ce-ment company.Since Thomas Edison
was in the vehicle batterybusiness, he owned electriccars. And in 1908 his garageincluded battery chargingstations for them. Edison in-vented the alkaline storagebattery in 1901 and spentyears perfecting it for use inautomobiles. Edison alsohad a gasoline filling pump
in his garage for his 1922Model T Ford – a gift fromhis good friend Henry Ford.The awesome custom
feature of Edison’s Garageis the car turntable to helppark his vehicles. A handcrank rotated the resting carto a desired parking posi-tion. The driver never hadto struggle backing the carinto a spot, the turntable didthe navigating.The garage helped turn
Edison into an involvedfamily man too. The garagegave him the liberty to tin-ker with his sons Theodoreand Charles on home builtmotorized projects. At theage of 10, Charles Edison,future governor of NJ, built
Thomas Edison – His Hallmark Of Personal Success – A Super Garagewith his dad a workable ve-hicle from a two cycle ma-rine engine and a drive belt.Today the garage houses
a 1911 Detroit Electric, a1914 Detroit Electric, a1922 Ford Model T, a 1908Locomobile and a 1936Brewster. The garage isavailable for public viewingby reservation.The Glenmont Estate is
also part of the NationalHistoric Park in West Or-ange accessible by visitingthe factory Lab visitor cen-ter for the schedule andreservation car and ticketpasses. It is located insidethe private residentialLlewellyn Park community.Visit website for more infohttps://www.nps.gov/edis/planyourvisit/basicinfo.htm.Those who are fasci-
nated by this legendary man
and his garage can participate in a fundraiser hosted by theFriends of Thomas Edison National Historic Park – “YourSpring Tune Up Cocktail Party” which is set for Thurs.,May 19, at the garage.

All aboard! On Father’s Day, Sun., June 19, spendthe day with dad at the Whippany Railway Mu-seum and climb aboard the mid-1900's excursion
train and enjoy an old-fashioned, pleasant Sunday after-noon with family and friends.
Trains feature a unique collection of restored vintagecabooses from historic rail lines that once served New Jer-sey and the Metropolitan area. The 10-mile, 45-minuteround trip excursion from Whippany to Roseland and re-turn is a thrill for the children as they enjoy what for many,will be their very first train ride, and they can also learnabout and experience the history of NJ’s rich railroad andtransportation heritage. Passengers can combine the thrillof riding the train along with touring the Museum site, fea-turing its outstanding collection of historic railroad loco-motives, rolling stock, operating model train layouts andvintage farm tractors. The train ride is part of the Museum's operating heritage
railroad excursions and travels the route of the historic'Whippanong Trail' through Whippany, East Hanover, Liv-ingston and Roseland in Morris and Essex counties. Thetrain passes through the remnants of pre-historic GlacialLake Passaic, a natural swamp which supports abundantwildlife, such as deer, turtles, wild turkeys, hawks and rab-bits.
The ride also features the excitement of crossing high
above the Passaic River over a steel bridge. In addition to the antique cabooses that make up the
train, visitors can upgrade their excursion experience bychoosing to ride in our elegantly-restored 1927-era CentralRailroad of New Jersey (CNJ) 'Club Car' Jersey Coast. Thecar has the look and feel of a private club with individualleather chairs, mahogany interior accented with stainedglass, built-in tables and period ceiling fans. The JerseyCoast recalls the 1930's when the CNJ operated its deluxecoach train, The Blue Comet between Jersey City and At-lantic City. The striking paint scheme of cream and blue re-minds one of a comet streaking through space. It is the onlycar of its type operating in NJ. Trains depart hourly from 1 p.m. to 4 p.m., rain or shine
from the museum site at 1 Railroad Plaza at the Intersectionof Route 10 West & Whippany Road in Whippany, Train fare is $14, adult; $9, child under 12; infants one
and younger are free. Train fare includes admission to mu-seum building and exhibits.Pre-order tickets online using a major credit card. Visit

Christie Whitman officiated
at the 1996 opening of Deirdre’s House.“The loss of their daughter, Deirdre, is
still an open wound in the heart of MorrisCounty,” said current Freeholder DirectorKathy DeFillippo. “But the O’Brien’s madesure that something very positive came outof a horrible tragedy.”
Freeholder Doug Cabana said, “Theycalled attention to crime victims in our so-ciety and led the fight to make sure that thevoices of crime victims are heard,’’ said , theboard’s liaison on public safety issues.“Through Deirdre’s House, they havehelped the very youngest and most vulnera-ble crime victims- our children.’’Among those on hand today to com-
memorate the 20th anniversary of Deirdre’sHouse and to accept a resolution of thanksand continued support from the freeholderswere Jim O’Brien, the son of Freeholder JimO'Brien and younger brother of DeirdreO’Brien, and his wife Trish O’Brien; theirson and daughter-in-law Joe and CourtO’Brien, and their daughter Reagan.Also attending were Morris County Pros-

being done at Deirdre's House and said hisparents would be especially grateful for theefforts that have been made by Savettiereand her staff.“The mission of Deirdre's House is to in-
sure that even though a child's life may bealtered by the abuse he or she have suffered,
their life will not be forever defined by thatabuse. The services we provide help childvictims heal and go on to live happy suc-cessful lives,’’ said Savettiere, who has runthe facility for 13 years.

examined and treated, digitally recorded,and counseled in English or Spanish, allunder one roof.This non-threatening atmosphere at
Deirdre’s House greatly contributes to theability of the child to relax and more freelydisclose the horrific details of the abuse,which is oftentimes embarrassing anddeeply personal. Since 1996, Deirdre’s House has pro-
vided services to more than 24,000 children.If Deirdre’s House did not exist, a child
victim would first have to be interviewedand processed at a police facility, examinedin a hospital emergency room, and coun-seled at yet another location, thus increasingthe psychological and physical trauma andstress for an already badly traumatizedchild. All services are provided free-of-charge.In 1982, at the age of 25, Deirdre was ab-
ducted, raped and murdered by a serial mur-derer. Her killer was caught, convicted andsentenced to two 30 year terms in stateprison.In the winter of 1994, then Prosecutor
Michael Murphy and Assistant ProsecutorKarin Kelly-Weisert approached theO’Brien family regarding the possibility ofopening a Child Advocacy Center to servethe children of Morris County.At the time, Deirdre’s father Jim O’Brien
was a member of the Morris County Boardof Freeholders and the president of theStatewide Coalition of Crime Victims. Theypresented a plan for a child advocacy centerfor abused children and asked O’Brien forhelp in securing a location for the center.With the cooperation of the Freeholder
Board, the county purchased the house at 8Court St. in Morristown and gave a longterm lease to the newly formed non-profitcenter. Shortly after, the Freeholders askedthe O’Brien family to allow the center to benamed after Deirdre in honor of their workon behalf of the victims of crime in NewJersey.After securing $100,000 in much needed
donations to renovate 8 Court St., the Centerwas opened in April of 1996.For more on Deirdre’s House, visit:

This month, Court Appointed Special Advocates ofMorris and Sussex Counties (CASA) enlisted thehelp of local school districts, law firms and busi-
nesses to raise money through its “Go Blue for CASA”fundraising campaign. Crum & Forster was one of the companies that raised
funds which will directly support advocacy for children inthe foster care system. In an effort to raise awareness forchildren in foster care, NJ’s Governor Chris Christie des-ignated “CASA Child Advocate Day.” CASA recognized this day by inviting the community
to “Go Blue” by wearing denim to school or work. In ex-change for wearing blue, each participant made a donationto CASA. The goal of this event was not only to raise fundsto support daily advocacy for children who have been re-moved from their homes due to abuse and neglect, but alsoto heighten awareness of the plight of the most vulnerablechildren in the community.

Many dads and father figures will at-test that Father’s Day is special be-cause they get to spend it with their
families. While the gifts might be nice, it’sthe time together that dads truly cherish. Family members who want to make Fa-
ther’s Day extra special this year may wantto put extra effort into customizing Father’sDay fun rather than shopping for gifts.So what equates to a fun-filled and enjoy-
able day for fathers? That all depends onDad’s interests. While no two fathers are thesame, there are some universal ideas that canmake for a memorable Father’s Day.Rest and relaxationFathers do a lot for their families, and
many fathers have hectic daily schedules.Come Father’s Day, Dad may just desire aday when he’s not called on to do anything.Provide this for him by removing many of theresponsibilities that can bog your father
down. This includes chores that may be tack-led on Sundays or even responsibilities thatMom often relies on him to tackle.Special dinnerOn this special day, Dad may deserve a
dinner that stands apart from more routinefamily meals. A specially cooked meal thatthe entire family prepares together or a reser-vation at a favorite restaurant will no doubtbring a smile to Dad’s face. Make sure thatthe meal includes his favorite foods. Favorite activityPlan the day around an activity that Dad
enjoys. If he’s an avid fisherman, this couldmean taking the rods out and spending a fewhours seeing what’s biting. Or it may involveattending a ballgame, watching his favoritemovie or playing a few rounds of golf.Father’s Day is a special day that many fa-
thers would insist is even better when spentwith family.

Summer is pool season. Come spring,homeowners prepare their backyardpools for several months of leisurely
floating or engaging games of aquatic vol-leyball. This preparation includes uncover-ing the pool and rebalancing the pool’schemical levels.Pool preparation and maintenance also
includes installing a working filter. Whilethere are many different types of pool filtersand filter mediums, in recent years, saltwa-ter filter systems have been growing in pop-ularity. Consumers who want to upgrade toa saltwater system may be interested inlearning a bit more about how such systemswork.Saltwater systems are those in which
chlorine is generated by the system itself.These systems do not usually require the ad-dition of a powdered or liquid form of chlo-rine. Electrolysis occurs thanks to achemical process that involves pool waterpassing through a salt cell and being ex-posed to a low-voltage current. This essen-tially breaks up the sodium chloridemolecules (salt) into hypochlorous acid andsodium hypochlorite, which are sanitizing
agents. Therefore, saltwater systems are notchlorine-free. They just produce chlorinefrom a less caustic material.One of the main advantages to a saltwa-
ter system is the constant generation of freechlorine. Pool water chemistry is often bro-ken down into FC (free chlorine) and CC(combined available chlorine). FC is yet un-touched chlorine that can do its sanitizingjob. CC contains chlorine and chloramines,which are produced when the chlorinecomes in contact with urine, sweat and othercontaminants present in the pool. CC iswhat contributes to the “chlorine smell” ofthe water. When there isn’t enough FC andthere’s too much CC, pool water levels needto be returned to optimal conditions, usuallythrough a shocking process. However, withsaltwater systems, there’s always an abun-dance of FC being delivered into the water,making levels superchlorinated, and thesesystems eliminate the formation of CC. Saltwater chlorine generators require
few, if any, additional chemicals, as theyproduce nearly neutral pH levels. This isn’talways the case with other chlorine sources,which can raise or lower pH or add to the

presence of other substances, such as cal-cium, in the water with calcium hypochlo-rite sanitizers.Because these saltwater filtration and
chlorine-generating systems are relativelyautomatic, they also can mean less mainte-nance. This is handy for homeowners whogo on vacation or do not want to be hassledby the daily care other systems may require.One of the disadvantages to saltwater
systems is the cost, which can be prohibitiveto some people. According to Thursday PoolManufacturing, installing the average sys-tem costs anywhere from $800 to $2,000.But some feel that cost is offset by themoney saved on pool chemicals over thecourse of a season.Switching to a chlorine-generating salt-
water filtration system can be a worthwhileinvestment for many pool owners.

Father’s Day is an annual celebrationof fathers and the contributions theymake to their families. Dads get their
due on Father’s 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 Father’s Day gift is not
always so easy. No two fathers are thesame, so while a silk necktie might bring asmile to one father’s face, such a gift mayfall flat with other dads. By asking them-selves a few questions in the weeks beforetheir dads’ big day, Father’s Day shopperscan narrow down their options and findgifts that Dad will appreciate.What are Dad’s 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 Father’s Dayextra special. Outdoorsmen may prefersome new camping or fishing gear, whilefathers who have an artistic side may prefersome new paint brushes and canvasses. IfDad’s a car guy, book a day at a nearbyracetrack where he can race around the
track 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 there’s 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 there’sanything 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 doesn’t seem to need
anything, consider something he may wantthat he’s 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 hasn’t 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?Dads with a love for technology are liv-
ing in the golden age of gadgets. Father’s
Find The Right Father’s Day Gift
Day 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 you’rebound to find something new on Dad’s
wish list that he hasn’t purchased yet.Finding the right Father’s 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.
