Roseland Man Has First Book Published At 93
By Anastasia Marchese eter Schaub, of Roseland, has led a rich and interesting life as an investment broker. Although not a career that most people associate with excitement, there are often interesting stories found in unexpected places. Schaub’s investments however ran along unique lines. “My father and I got involved in the buying and selling of bridges,” said Schaub. Buying and selling privately owned toll bridges is a niche market for sure and may sound like a career destined only for those born into money. Yet Schaub’s father came into the investment business in a very unexpected way. He was a magazine salesman. How he went from buying and selling magazine subscriptions, to buying and selling bridges seems more like the plot of an old black and white movie than real life. Sometimes however, life can be stranger than fiction. Schaub’s father worked in NYC selling magazines to women working in the business district. He would befriend the doorman at the building and would in that way get access to the offices. At lunch time while the girls ate their sandwiches and such, he would give his sales pitch. He must have been a very persuasive salesman because he was overheard by one of the managers at an investment firm and asked if he would like to sell bonds. “My father didn’t even know what bonds were,” said Schaub, but selling bonds sounded like a good career move. Soon thereafter he joined that company and started on a new course in life. Then in 1933 Schaub’s father started his own firm. “It was not a very good time to start a business,” Schaub re-
flected. Due to the depression his father had been let go from his position at the investment firm but “a client of his (from his old job) loaned him the money. He used it to buy a desk and some chairs and to hire a secretary.” He was able to make a go of his investment firm, even during those difficult financial times. His company went on to be the oldest independent investment firm in NJ. Schaub joined his father’s firm in 1946 and the company grew to have 14 employees. The details of the buying and selling of privately owned toll bridges is a subject best left to Schaub, as he is able to turn what might otherwise seem a dull subject into an engaging tale rich with personal anecdotes and humor. The pictures alone make the book worth buying. Schaub described one picture of his son and himself atop the Golden Gate Bridge in San Francisco. His son had a connection to someone associated with the bridge administration and arranged for Schaub to be able to get an inside view. Schaub remembers the ride up in the bridge’s antique elevator and then the amazing view of the entire city. It was definitely a once in a lifetime experience to remember. Schaub has given various talks over the years describing his unusual experiences and was encouraged to write a book by his family and friends. Schaub reasoned that since he was the last person alive who could tell the story that he ought to. Now Schaub’s son is encouraging him to write another book, but Schaub thinks that one is enough. At 93 years of age he is content to have written his accounts down. He spends his days golfing and taking part in his local rotary club. Schaub has a long history of community service involvement and continues to take an active role. TES STIMA FREE E

Pioneer For Battered Women’s Shelter Finds Creative Ways To Carry On Her Mission
By Cheryl Conway any more have heard her cries for help, and although wonderful, the need in affording a storage place to house all of the generous furniture donations is that much greater. Founder and Director Sandra Ramos of Strengthen Our Sisters (SOS) has found a vacant store at 1621 Hamburg Turnpike in
V M
Wayne and has a vision of opening a store there to keep all of the furniture donations much needed by the women she shelters through her organization. The 6,000 square foot space used to be a florist shop, she says. “It’s a great location; has a lot of room; it’s long,” says Ramos of Ringwood. “We get so much stuff that we have to turn it

down. We have nowhere to keep it.” Since her call for help a few months ago seeking contributors to help pay for the mortgage at a lower interest rate to keep SOS afloat, Ramos has received close to 30 calls from people who have furniture donations. “Some of it we took,” she says. If donations continue to come in, Ramos says “we could sell it” at the store and help support SOS. Established in 1977 as Shelter Our Sisters - the first shelter for battered women in North America- the community-based nonprofit organization changed its name to Strengthen Our Sisters and has since grown to eight houses, two day care centers, a food pantry and a thrift store. Through SOS, Ramos provides housing for 155 women and children in shelters located in New Foundland, Wanaque and West Milford. The store in Wayne would be rented to her for $5,000 per month, she says. With ideas already sprouting, she has creative ways to use the space in addition to furniture storage.

She was thinking it could be used as a jazz café to feature some students who perform; or even as a craft store, as a place for the women in her shelter to show off their many talents such as artistic ability and sell items for profit. “We have so many women with talents who are living poverty stricken,” says Ramos. “We have women who are artistic. They can make dolls and pictures, handmade clothes and ceramics.” One of her houses is for older women and “they owned businesses,” she says. “We want to be economically independent rather than dependent,” she adds. “The women can become economically sufficient.” 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 carry to fruition. For those who would like to help by either continuing to donate furniture, as well as money to offset the mortgage, or who has an idea for a better and yet more affordable store location, call Ramos at 973-831-6156.

Wilson School K-Kids Score For St. Jude’s Children’s Research Hospital
n Wed., March 23, and March 30, students from Wilson Elementary School in West Caldwell participated in the school’s first 3-on-3 basketball tournament, raising funds for St. Jude’s Children’s Research Hospital. Organized by the school’s K-Kids Club, the elementary school Kiwanis Club, the students held a tournament for fourth graders and a tournament for fifth graders, raising $460. “The students worked hard to organize teams, sell snacks, distribute participation prizes, and more,” said teacher and co-club advisor Michelle Haas. “The students worked hard, played hard, and now it will benefit the children at St. Jude’s.” Affiliated with the Kiwanis Club of Caldwell-West Essex, K-Kids is an elementary school service club for students that teaches younger students the value of helping others by taking part in community service projects. Introduced in 2014,

St. Hubert’s Assists Dogs Saved From Slaughter On South Korean Dog Meat Farm
n emergency shelter operation has been set up at St. Hubert’s Animal Welfare Center in Madison to welcome and care for more than 120 dogs rescued by Humane Society International (HSI) from a dog meat farm in South Korea. The dogs began arriving on April 26 and are being provided medical treatment, time for adjustment and will later be put up for adoption. The dogs are part of a group of 250 dogs and puppies rescued by HSI’s Animal Rescue Team from a dog meat farm in Wonju, South Korea. The case is part
of HSI’s efforts to redirect farmers to engage in other economic activities and who agree to permanently end the farming of dogs for the meat trade and dismantle the cages. The farmer who released these animals will now be growing mushrooms; other farmers HSI has worked with have chosen to grow blueberries. “We are proud to welcome these deserving animals and make sure their stories are told to help effect change,” said Heather Cammisa, president and CEO of St. Hubert’s. “Two of the Huskies were so happy to see one another again, they
were face licking and frolicking in the cage when reunited. It is important for the world 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 for partnering with us to provide the immediate stateside care for these animals and be one of our placement partners for these animals to begin lives anew.” The dogs will be placed through shelters across the North East. St. Hubert’s estimates they will keep twenty or so dogs for direct placement. For more information,
including the other agencies that will be placing animals for adoption, visit www.sthuberts.org.
the clubs exist at each of the district’s four elementary schools and nearly 200 students district-wide have joined the clubs. Nearly 100 students participated in the tournaments, playing against their peers in a round-robin format. With the school principal Scott Keena and teacher Scott Stiefbold acting as referees, and co-club advisors Haas and Andrea Zimany overseeing the entire event, both days ran smoothly, with students cheering on their classmates and scoring points. “We wanted to show the students the doing good can be fun,” added Zimany. “And so far, it looks like it worked.” For more information on Wilson Elementary School, visit www.cwcboe.org/wilson.

League co-president Julianne Grosso. “We are so appreciative that everyone agreed with the concept and saw the value in the event. Now, our families and community members can come out, enjoy the food and music, and not worry about pick-up times or homework. It promises to be a truly incredible community event.” The event will take place at Memorial baseball field in West Caldwell from 5 p.m. to 9:30 p.m. with a rain date of June 15.

Caldwell Students Spend Spring Break Rebuilding in Appalachia
or Caldwell University student Cindy Pineros, a highlight of her workweek in Appalachia came when she witnessed a man named Anthony roll out of his house and down a ramp that she had helped to build. “He was so happy and thankful,” said Pineros. She explained that Anthony had not been able to leave his house without assistance since his home had no wheelchair ramp. Pineros, a nursing and biology student, and six other Caldwell students joined students from other universities March 19 to 25 for the Christian Appalachian Project’s Workfest Alternative spring break program. They helped rebuild homes for low-income

families in eastern Kentucky. Yashant Gywali, a sophomore majoring in computer information systems at Caldwell, helped build a porch for an elderly woman who lived alone. He was happy to be “introduced to new power tools; I was fixing windows, drilling, up on ladders.” Catie Mulick, also a nursing student at Caldwell, did roofing and put paneling on a family’s house. She was struck most by the way the little girls were proud to show them around even though they had the bare minimum. “They were not embarrassed or ashamed at needing help from college students,” said Mulick. It was a week of hard work, cold tem-

Enjoyable Ways To Spend Father’s Day
any dads and father figures will attest that Father’s Day is special because they get to spend it with their families. While the gifts might be nice, it’s the time together that dads truly cherish. Family members who want to make Father’s Day extra special this year may want to put extra effort into customizing Father’s Day fun rather than shopping for gifts. So what equates to a fun-filled and enjoyable day for fathers? That all depends on Dad’s interests. While no two fathers are the same, there are some universal ideas that can make for a memorable Father’s Day. Rest and relaxation Fathers do a lot for their families, and many fathers have hectic daily schedules. Come Father’s Day, Dad may just desire a day when he’s not called on to do anything. Provide this for him by removing many of the responsibilities that can bog your father
down. This includes chores that may be tackled on Sundays or even responsibilities that Mom often relies on him to tackle. Special dinner On this special day, Dad may deserve a dinner that stands apart from more routine family meals. A specially cooked meal that the entire family prepares together or a reservation at a favorite restaurant will no doubt bring a smile to Dad’s face. Make sure that the meal includes his favorite foods. Favorite activity Plan the day around an activity that Dad enjoys. If he’s an avid fisherman, this could mean taking the rods out and spending a few hours seeing what’s biting. Or it may involve attending a ballgame, watching his favorite movie or playing a few rounds of golf. Father’s Day is a special day that many fathers would insist is even better when spent with family.
Pineros. Gywali was happy to make friends from Caldwell and other schools. The pretty hills, mountains and lake reminded him of his beloved Nepal. The group stayed at Camp AJ in McKee, KY.

IMPLANT DENTISTRY For over twenty years, implant dentistry has been a reliable option for patients with missing teeth. With the ability to support a crown, an implant procedure has the capacity to bypass drilling the adjacent teeth. Additionally, with the recent availability of mini implants, implant dentistry has expanded its utilization to anchoring both full and partial dentures for a more secure fit. As they provide an economic alternative, patients have been very receptive of mini implants, as they make eating and speaking with dentures much easier. Dr. Helen Chiu has always been involved in implant dentistry, making it an integrated part of her everyday practice. From replacing a single tooth, inserting crowns or bridges, securing dentures, to creating multiple, full-arch reconstructions, she performs every step of each process, surgical and restorative.

ames Caldwell High School showed nearly 3,000 people just how many “things you can think” when the school performed to nearly sold-out crowds for its run of “Seussical the Musical” earlier this month, and entertained almost 100 younger fans at its pre-show Hullabaloo. The cast of more than 100 students in grades three to twelve wowed the crowds with exceptional singing performances, tap dancing, comedy, bright colorful scenery, and an overall feeling of fun and goodwill. “We hoped that Seussical would bring our families and community out for an evening or afternoon of fun and entertainment, and we were not disappointed,” said drama and theatre arts teacher and musical director
JCHS’s “Seussical” Is Quite The Hullabalo snacks, storytelling and photo booth. “The children all had a fantastic time, and the students and staff enjoyed being in costume outside of the actual performances,” said parent volunteer and event coordinator Melinda

Fur Store Owner Continues To Warm Customers After A Century Of Business
assing on the family business has been the tradition for the past 100 years for Terzako Furs in Caldwell. Michael Kambourakis and his son, Elias, have continued the tradition of being in the fur business for 10 generations, following in the footsteps of Michael’s grandfather, 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 fur in Europe. Rouskas and Terzako settled in Newark. They started in working for Best & Company and on the side they made fur 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 family got better quality mink and fox pelts. The fur industry grew 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. They moved to the Caldwells in the early 1970's. The family members continued to be a part of the business. During high school and college, Kambourakis began to work in the business. After graduating college and graduate school, he became a specialist in the spectrum of autism. His love of family made him decide to become the ninth 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 in the country. The sources for the furs have grown to be all over the world. Thousands of satisfied customers from the tri-state area continue to buy fur coats, jackets, vests and other unique fur items from Terzako Furs. In addition the store makes on premise raincoats, shearlings, capes and fur blankets. Several years it began to import leathers from Italy. And when it comes to storing and cleaning furs for the summer, the store’s on-site fur vaults are the perfect vacation place! Of course Terzako had a complimentary remodeling consultation and will update old furs to the latest style. According to Kambourakis, his fur business is important, but his humanitarian work is his passion. He initiated helping the people of The Dominican Republic years ago by himself, as he saw the need for clean water, educational supplies, clothing so kids could go to school medicines and anything else he thought would help the people become educated, and healthy. His dreams of a medical facility has become a reality thanks to support of doctors, hospitals and the Caldwell Rotary, where he is a very active member, among other sponsors. He has been responsible in raising funds for five buildings and the clinic in partnership with LIG Global &
Global Health from Barnabas Health and Robert Wood Johnson. Visit dominicanrelief.org for more information. Kambourakis’ family who came to America would surely be proud of his success in the family business they started, and also of the good deeds that benefit people with his caring, warm heart. To celebrate its 100th anniversary, they are offering a store wide 20 percent off showroom sale until June 30. Stay tuned for other events that will be happening throughout the year.

The pilot program that started almost three years ago recently ended and is growing to include a partnership with a another forprofit company- a large international distribution company also in Secaucus- with talks to expand with a third company in NJ. The goal is to eventually branch out into New York and then around the country. “They [Spectrum] are branching out into other partner companies,” says Ann Marie Sullivan of Wayne, chief executive officer and founder of Spectrum Works. The mission of Spectrum Works is to give employment opportunities to individuals with autism. Sullivan had been working as a forprofit entrepreneur with publishing companies in Europe when she stumbled across a working environment that put some things in a different 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 organization in New York to evaluate a program. I was asked to come in to make it better.” When she walked in the door of a building in NY, she noticed a small screen printing company with employees faced with developmental or intellectual disabilities. “I didn’t have any association with anyone with different abilities,” she admits, so seeing such a productive group caught her attention. “They were productive and talking like any other environment or business. It was a special place.” When Sullivan found out that this business was going to shut down, she realized that the concept of providing job opportunities for individuals that face challenges “could be larger.” She thought, “What could we do; what model could we put in place? What vision can we change; changing the perception of
people; not only the awareness but the understanding of that?” Sullivan decided that people with autism need greater support in the work place. “Everybody knows someone with autism,” says Sullivan. “I don’t have any connection,” she adds, but the statistics 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 individuals with autism in the U.S., with a 12 percent increase in NJ for kids with autism. Statistics reveal that one in 68 individuals in the U.S. have autism, in which one out of 42 is boys. Out of those individuals with autism, 80 percent are unemployed, she cites. It is encouraged that students with autism stay in high school until they are 21 “so they can learn more things and stay in programs for development,” says Sullivan. Some question, “can people with autism work in a competitive environment? Answer is ‘no’,” says Sullivan. “There’s nothing really out there for them. We believe it is possible.” Her idea was to have individuals with autism work alongside those in competitive employment, a term used by government which means people who are neuro-typical or without autism, she explains. “How can we create a supportive environment for individuals to work in competitive employment?” she challenged. “Idea is to make them independent.” By working alongside a mentor or coach, “they will become more independent. “We encourage integrated employment,” she says. “They have potential and can work. They have average or higher than average IQ’s. They just need opportunities.” Sullivan was going to start her own manufacturing company so decided to visit Green Distribution, a for-profit screen printing, company to get some ideas and see its machinery. “When I met the owner [Robert Butters] and I told him what we were going to do, he said ‘Why don’t you partner with us?’” An opportunity she could not refuse, continued on next page

continued from previous page Sullivan began her company, Spectrum Works, which stems from autism spectrum disorders. She started out as a pilot program almost three years ago, in August 2013. “This organization is unique,” says Sullivan. “We partner with for-profit companies. Students who attend high school come to work at the business with all arrangements made through their school including selection approval and transportation, 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 hired some of her interns to join his workforce, she says. Spectrum Works helps to manufacture custom printed screen apparel. Students have been involved with helping to print 65,000 t-shirts a day, as well as other promotional items 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 been for Shoprite, towns, recreation programs and some corporate deals. Students get paid a salary, minimum wage, to work alongside people without autism who serve as coaches. The

environment has been helping the employees who have autism “to be prepared for the work experience,” says Sullivan. “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 far as Short Hills and Millburn. Spectrum is now in the process of expanding and adding a second facility, but Sullivan said it was too soon to reveal the for-profit company name. Currently, 40 students are involved in the internship program. Employees must be at least 16 years; most work three days a week, four hours a day-typically 9:30 a.m. to 2 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 putting tags 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 administrative 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 other items through Spectrum Works. So far 80 companies have placed orders throughout the tri-state area, says Sullivan. Sponsoring fundraisers is another option to help fund the program. Mission Fitness in Livingston raised $10,000 in its April fundraiser with its cross-fit gym to support Spectrum. 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 summer as it also employs college students and other employees. Sullivan says they will be adding courses as well such as job writing skills, interview strategies and resume building. Enrollment is continuous. Students can contact their high school now for consideration into next school year’s program.
