in 1999 when he was sevenmonths-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 father. But being in special education 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, soccer, 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 improved his skills. I think [special needs] kids excel at the individual sports; team sports are more difficult,” Maria said. “He has some really 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 really helped him a lot with everything he has learned and is still learning.” At level four in ice skating Stutts’ performances 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 summertime. Though he excels at sports, he has different aspirations for his future, as he likes to draw and sees himself 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 transporting patients to and from the dining room. “They really love having me,” said Stutts. “I try to cheer them up if they’re really down. Some may not have much family.” As a parent Maria is so proud of her son. She said, “He tries hard. He’s determined. He really excels in everything he goes for. Now we’re working with him on life skills.”

Barbecue Fundraiser Cookin’ To Support Sunday Suppers In Verona

By Cheryl Conway armesan crusted breaded pork-chops, yellow rice with sautéed carrots and sweet peas, “amazing” salad with dressing, fresh biscuits, individual apple pies, topped “all off with chocolate pudding.” Reminds someone of a delicious, home-cooked dinner on a relaxing Sunday evening- and exactly the meal received by some local individuals recently cooked and delivered by the volunteers of the Sunday Supper Program through First Presbyterian Church in Verona. Prepared every first Saturday of the month, and delivered the next day, the Sunday Supper program has been providing meals to families in need, seniors living alone as well as at an elderly care facility for the past four years. Recipients are identified through Verona’s Socials Service Department, says Eileen Kuhn of West Caldwell, coordinator of the church’s Sunday Supper program. “We serve the kind of meal we would serve our family,” explains Kuhn, “an

old fashion-Sunday Supper. We give them something totally different” each first Sunday of the month. The church allocated $1,500 to the organizers to manage the program and “every single penny” after that has been raised through fundraisers and donations, she explains. This year’s “huge fundraiser” is actually coming up Sun., May 22, with the Sunday Supper’s first annual barbecue to be held at the First Presbyterian Church parking lot, or indoors in the church hall if it rains. The barbecue is set to be held between 3 p.m. and 7 p.m. Cost is $15 plus a can food donation. Proceeds will go to the Sunday Supper program, and the cans of food will be given to the newly established Holy Spirit Food Bank located at Gould Place in Verona. The food bank just opened for operation April 23 and is in need of food donations, says Kuhn. Kuhn started the Sunday Suppers program in 2012, with church members Cianna and Beverly Winkler. The idea developed after Kuhn was participat-

ing in a soup kitchen that had seized operations. The First Presbyterian Church had been sending volunteers to a soup kitchen at a church in Irvington for years, explains Kuhn, but when that program ended, Kuhn realized that efforts were needed to help more people locally. “People think where we live there isn’t a need,” she says, “So I brought it to my church.” A feasibility study was then conducted and it was determined that there is very much a need for families or individuals who do not get a home cooked meal. “It fills a need within our community,” says Kuhn. “We are service driven not only because of the church, because it’s the right thing to do and it’s a lot of fun. We have a blast when we are in the kitchen doing the prep.” When the program first began, 13 families were identified by social services in town; that number has since grown to 39 families, she says. A good portion of the recipients are individual seniors who receive Meals on Wheels during the week.

Sunday Suppers is a benefit as it provides that home-cooked meal on a Sunday, and extra portions for more than one meal. “We prep to make sure they get more than one meal out of it,” says Kuhn, who has her safe-food handling certificate. In establishing the program, Kuhn spoke with a nutritionist because “we needed to be careful how we do this.” Providing a well-balanced nutritious meal is necessary as well as determining any allergies or dietary restrictions from the recipients. Volunteers vary each month, says Kuhn but they have come from various groups such as Girl Scouts, personal friends, Miss continued on next page

continued from previous page America group, confirmation class. “Last month there was only three of us; the month before that there were eight people in the kitchen,” she says. All food is prepared in the church’s commercial kitchen. Each meal includes an entrée, two sides, fresh bread and dessert. “I’ve never duplicated a meal,” says Kuhn, who always makes something different. But “it’s going to be good; it’s going to be well-balanced. I keep a book of various ideas. Whatever is on sale I will pull from that. I never know what I’m serving until I go shopping.” Cost conservative, Kuhn says “I usually get cost down to $3.25 to $3.50 per meal including containers. Meals are delivered the first Sunday of the month; Wayne and Zachary Winkler help deliver the meals the next day with a good majority going to the Hillwood Senior Housing Complex in Verona, says Kuhn. “It really does serve a purpose,” says Kuhn. “If they can’t create on their own, they won’t eat on the weekend. We’re all gonna be old one day; always show respect to our elders.” The Winklers also take some time to speak with the residents on their deliveries, which sends the recipients an important message. “When they see the community helping them, it makes them feel they have not been forgotten,” says Kuhn. “Recipients look so forward; even the three minutes of conversation; It does really brighten the day. Food is like music; it’s international. It always brings a sense of closeness.”

The first year for the barbecue, Kuhn is confident in her plans. She has had Fish Fry’s in the past, which is like a fish and chips type meal but with British fish. At the Sunday Supper Fundraiser Community Barbecue, participants can expect traditional fare such as hamburgers, hot dogs, grilled barbecue chicken, salads, watermelon and even baked beans, drinks and dessert. The Winkler men will be the grill masters for the day. “I got this; I know what I’m doing,” says Kuhn. “I come from a family of chefs.” Her grandfather, Hobson Benton of New York was a master chef at Luchow’s restaurant in NY for 40 years, she says. Her son, Carlos, is a Sioux chef in St. Thomas Virgin Islands. “Everyone in my family loves to cook,” says Kuhn, who works full-time as an administrator for a general contractor. “Around the holidays, the kitchen is a very dangerous place to be.” If support of the program continues to grow, Kuhn hopes to one day expand the program to provide meals every Sunday and to get other churches involved. Recipients of the program are identified through social services. Contact Connie Pfiefer from Verona Social Services Department at 973-857-4832 to fill out an application, which is necessary to determine any food restrictions. If interested in volunteering, call Kuhn at 862-703-8421; or the church at 973-2393561. Donations always accepted; send checks, made payable to Sunday Supper, to First Presbyterian Church in Verona.

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 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.

V M

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.

Spectrum Works As Partners To Provide Employment Opportunities For Autistic Individuals

By Cheryl Conway t’s all about partnerships at Spectrum Works in Secaucus. A non-profit company, Spectrum Works has teamed up with a for-profit company while the student employees gain skills by working alongside a mentor or coach. The strategy has so far been a success. The pilot program that started almost three years ago recently ended and is growing to include a partnership with another for-profit 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 for-profit 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 organiza-

tion 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. continued on next page

continued from previous page â&#x20AC;&#x153;They have potential and can work. They have average or higher than average IQâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s. They just need opportunities.â&#x20AC;? 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. â&#x20AC;&#x153;When I met the owner [Robert Butters] and I told him what we were going to do, he said â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Why donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t you partner with us?â&#x20AC;&#x2122;â&#x20AC;? An opportunity she could not refuse, 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. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This organization is unique,â&#x20AC;? says Sullivan. â&#x20AC;&#x153;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. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a very large factory,â&#x20AC;? 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 â&#x20AC;&#x153;to be prepared for the work experience,â&#x20AC;? says Sullivan. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We partner with high schools in five counties in NJ,â&#x20AC;? 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. â&#x20AC;&#x153;They are part of the production team,â&#x20AC;? 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. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We find out what they are interested in and gear them toward that,â&#x20AC;? she says. The partnership works as â&#x20AC;&#x153;we fund ourselves out of the product at a competitive price.â&#x20AC;? 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. Spectrumâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;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 yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s program. For more information, to fundraise, donate or place orders, visit spectrumworks.org or email annmarie@spectrumworks.org or email annmarie@spectrumworks.org.

ather’s Day is an annual celebration of fathers and the contributions they make to their families. Dads get their due on Father’s Day, when sons, daughters and wives typically give dad a few gifts to show their appreciation for all he has done for them and how much he means to them. Finding the right Father’s Day gift is not always so easy. No two fathers are the same, so while a silk necktie might bring a smile to one father’s face, such a gift may fall flat with other dads. By asking themselves a few questions in the weeks before their dads’ big day, Father’s Day shoppers can narrow down their options and find gifts 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 indulges one of his favorite hobbies may be just the thing to make this Father’s Day extra special. Outdoorsmen may prefer some new camping or fishing gear, while fathers who have an artistic side may prefer some new paint brushes and canvasses. If Dad’s a car guy, book a day at a nearby

Find The Right Father’s Day Gift racetrack 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 recipient needs as opposed to what he wants. If you no longer live at home, ask your mother if there’s anything your father needs that would make his life easier or more enjoyable. If you live at home, pay close attention to your father to see if there’s anything that could lighten his load. For example, if Dad loves spending time in the garden, take a sneak peek at his gardening tools and replace any that have grown dull or rusty. What does Dad want? For the Dad who doesn’t seem to need anything, consider something he may want that he’s never had before. If Dad loves to cook but has never had formal training, enroll him in a cooking class. If Dad loves a local sports team but hasn’t been to a game in years, purchase tickets to a game and go with him to make the day even more special. Is Dad a techie?

Dads with a love for technology are living in the golden age of gadgets. Father’s Day shoppers looking to satisfy their fathers’ love of technology have a host of possibilities at their disposal. Even if Dad is an early adopter who tends to get all the latest gadgets before anyone else, the tech industry evolves so rapidly that you’re

bound 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 to think about their father and what makes the family patriarch happy can unearth a host of gift ideas that Dad is sure to love.

Fur Store Owner Continues To Warm Customers After A Century Of Business

Any Job Over $2,500

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 onsite 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 him-

self, 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.

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.
