Businesses And Individuals Honored At Madison Area Chamber Of Commerce Annual Awards Dinner
he Madison Area Chamber of Commerce held its Annual Awards Dinner on Mon., June 6, at The Madison Hotel, in Morristown. Awards were given in eight categories at the year-end celebration. Approximately 100 guests attended the event. The night was filled with good cheer and camaraderie. The evening included a buffet, cash bar, door prizes and an awards ceremony that was held in the Victorian Room.
"The Chamber's Annual Award Dinner honors outstanding Madison businesses and this year we also recognized improvements to the community by the good people of several vital, local non-profits," said Chamber President John Morris. Honorees were selected unanimously by the Chamber’s Board of Directors. In the Business Improvement category, the Chamber honored Healthy Italia with the “2016 Outstanding Interior Renovation Award.” STRYXE was honored with

the “2016 Innovation Award.” Both winners are new businesses and the Chamber saluted both for making Madison their home. The “2016 Appreciation Award" honored Janet Allocco, executive director of The Madison Community House. The Chamber “2016 Volunteer of the Year Award” was presented to Meg Wastie, a curator of The Museum of Early Trades & Crafts, for her outstanding contributions to the business community. The Chamber awarded the Madison Area YMCA with the “2016 Non-Profit of the Year Award” for “it’s singular efforts focused on improving the well-being of the community and individuals.” The “2016 Community Service Award” was given to The Garden Club of Madison for its endless efforts and
commitment in restoring and improving common spaces for the betterment and quality of our community. The recipients of “2016 Distinguished Service Award” that honored the volunteer Citizens’ Committee that devised, organized and implemented the “Walk With A Veteran” paver project and revitalization at the James
Park triangle received a standing ovation at the Awards Dinner. "The Citizens’ Committee’s devoted efforts -- which included new benches, improved illumination and enhanced landscaping -- have transformed historic James Park into an inviting and lasting place of beauty, honor and remembrance right in the heart of Madison," Morris said. "The paver project and revitalization of James Park shows that Madison’s history is always with us and it’s up to us to give it the hard-won respect it deserves." Former Madison Mayor Jack Dunne, the chair of project, and his fellow members of the Citizens Committee accepted the award.
The much anticipated “Extra Mile Award” is the only Chamber honor determined by the general public. The Bar Method of Madison was the 2016 recipient. "We honor the Bar Method of Madison for their overall commitment to their clients and to the community," said Giambra. "They successfully lead by example and have created a loving, community-based "family" focusing on healthy living, education and outreach, friendship and fun. "The ‘Extra Mile Award’ recognizes employees who provide outstanding customer service and go the extra step to make certain that when doing business, Madison is the only place to be," Giambra said.

Petco Foundation Grant Increases Adoptions For Cats
t. Hubert’s Animal Welfare Center in Madison is the recipient of a lifesaving $60,000 grant from the Petco Foundation for the organization’s Feline Pipeline program, which helps relocate cats from overcrowded shelters to shelters and communities that can offer opportunity, including its own shelters in Madison and North Branch as well as partner shelters in New England. “St. Hubert’s is committed the end of euthanasia of healthy and treatable cats in New Jersey,” said Heather Cammisa, president and CEO of St. Hubert’s. “It’s on our strategic plan and we believe that with trap-neuter-return of feral community cats, greater public awareness of cats and these transport programs with meaningful partner relationships, we’ll get there.” St. Hubert’s established its Feline Pipeline program in 2015, and through the program, NJ cats and kittens are able to benefit from increased adoption opportunities by relocating to shelters in New England that have open capacity. This
transport program is a part of the organization’s growing outreach program, which helps dogs, cats, and other homeless pets on a local, regional, and national level by working in collaboration with other organizations. A new custom 26-foot transport vehicle, The Zephyr, is further expanding the organization’s reach, enabling St. Hubert’s to travel farther and transport more pets in need. Most recently, St. Hubert’s welcomed 111 cats and kittens to its Madison shelter on May 11 through the organization’s ongoing efforts to maximize feline lifesaving capabilities in NJ. On May 26 more than 70 cats will continue on through the Feline Pipeline program to five of St. Hubert’s transport partner shelters in New England, where they will be available for adoption. To learn more about the Feline Pipeline or adoption, visit www.sthuberts.org. Founded in 1939, St. Hubert’s Animal Welfare Center is a nonprofit organization dedicated to the humane treatment of ani-
mals. Its services to the community include pet adoption and animal rescue, humane education, a pet helpline, pet
B
training, professional education, animalassisted therapy, and pet loss support.

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
Fully Insured Free Estimates
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.

How To Clean Your Grill During Summer Party Season
rilling season has arrived, and amateur grillmasters everywhere are gearing up for another summer of backyard barbecues and family dinners outside under the summer sun. But once you fire up that grill and cook your first hot dog of the season, your work is not quite done. Cleaning the grill after you have eaten makes it easier to prolong the life of your grill and ensure the foods you eat are safe to consume. • Turn the grill off. Unless you own a charcoal grill, chances are your grill has dials that govern how hot the grill gets when cooking. Make sure these dials are turned to the off position before you start cleaning. If your’s is a gas grill, disconnect the gas while wearing gloves to reduce your risk of accident or injury. • Use the residual heat to make cleaning easier. The sooner you start cleaning the grill after you cook, the easier it might be to make the cooking surfaces sparkle. That’s because the residual heat can make it easier to remove any leftover buildup from barbecue sauce or seasoning that stuck to the grill after you removed your food. • Use a wire brush to clean the cooking grates. Wire brushes are ideal for cleaning cooking grates. Such brushes can quickly remove grease and food particles, saving grill owners the trouble of scrubbing away with traditional sponges. Once the wire brush’s work is done, you can then clean the grill with a soapy sponge. • Remove food that fell into the well. Food inevitably falls into the well of a grill no matter how skilled a grillmaster might be. If left to fester in the well, such foods can pose a safety risk and promote the growth of bacteria. • Clean the remaining areas of the grill. Marinade, sauce or condiments may find their way onto areas of your grill, and if left unattended, such substances can make a grill very dirty over time. Remove these substances after each barbecue to keep your grill looking new through the summer.

Did You Know?
ccording to data reported to U.S. News & World Report from 711 ranked private universities (“ranked” schools meet certain criteria established by U.S. News & World Report), the average tuition and fees for private universities during the 2015-2016 school year was $32,599. Among the schools that reported their figures to U.S. News & Report, Vassar College in New York charged the most at $51,300, narrowly exceeding another school in the Empire State, Sarah Lawrence College, which charged its students $51,034 for the 2015-2016 school year. On the opposite end of the spectrum, Berea College in Kentucky charged just $870 in tuition and fees
during the 2015-2016 school year. But that extraordinarily low tuition is somewhat misleading, as Berea College provides every admitted student the equivalent of a four-year, full-tuition scholarship. American college students might be surprised to learn that the burden of college tuition is perhaps not as burdensome for students born overseas. For example, the most expensive university in England, the University of Cambridge, will charge its domestic and European Union students the maximum tuition fees allowed for the 2016-2017 school year. That translates to £9,000, or just more than $13,000, for one of the world’s most highly regarded institutions.

People Flock To Turtle Back Zoo For Open House
By Maryanne Christiano-Mistretta housands of people fled towards the gates of Turtle Back Zoo, West Orange, on Sat., June 4, for the 14th Annual Essex County Open House. There was live music, clowns, carnival games, treasure chests, giveaways, prize wheels and trivia tests, providing exciting entertainment for children as their parents gathered around more than 10 information tables that provided information about public awareness programs and services provided by Essex County. Directors and employees were on hand to answer questions. It was a great way for Essex County residents to meet the people who work for their county. The Open House included free admission to the zoo, which features: a mini-golf safari miniature golf course, sea lions, sting rays and sharks in a touch tank, a state-of-the-art reptile and education building, jaguars, snow leopards, Gibbon apes, wolves, otters, alligators, reptiles, and bears. There is also a beautiful gift shop. Essex County Executive Joseph DiVincenzo, Jr., said, “We’ve done this for fourteen years. We’re here to socialize and network for Essex County. And it’s an opportunity to see the zoo for free.” According to DiVincenzo, last year there were 16,000 people in attendance. He said, “We’re hoping to hit 20,000 today.” This event was formerly held at a small setting in the Hall
of Records, according to Anthony Puglisi, Public Information director. But the zoo can accommodate a lot more people. Puglisi said, “Not many people know about what the county government does and how it affects their life. It’s informational and we try to make it fun.” Claudette Hampton, case manager and nurse at Essex County Special Child Health Services said, “We’re here to educate the public about community health and special child services. And [for the public to] know about various resources in Essex County.” Other Essex County tables exhibits included: Paper Mill Playhouse, Family Wrap, New Jersey’s Early Intervention System, Essex County Juvenile Detention Center, New Jersey Mental Health Cares, OACANP (The Oranges ACA Navigator Project), and Essex County Vocational Technical Schools. Attendees were able to enjoy the new giraffe exhibit which just opened up, as well as the recently opened bison exhibit with a new viewing area to get up close and look into. Puglisi said, “Before there was a split rail fence. You couldn’t get close to the animals.” The prairie dog exhibit will also be upgraded. Puglisi said, “We’re changing the way the public views so you get more of a clear picture; before it was a high glass wall.” A lion exhibit is also in the works. In addition to the new animal exhibits and developments, the café expanded to two stories, which triples the capacity

of what it was before. “It will help with crowds,” said Puglisi. “Improvements enhance the area for the public.” According to DiVincenzo, “NJ Monthly” magazine named Turtle Back Zoo the best zoo in New Jersey the last four years. And the zoo has always been awarded with a Certificate of Excellence in the last three years. For more information on Essex County, visit www.essexcountynj.com.

Looking For A Few Good Men
en have an identity issue. Hollywood often depicts men as self-centered couch potatoes who are always looking to party, act like adolescents and play video games, while shirking all of men’s responsibilities along the way. One example of this lack of respect for fatherhood may be best illustrated by a recent survey of holiday church attendance. At the bottom of the list with Independence Day was Father’s Day. As a matter of fact, most people no longer can even say when Father’s Day is! Why has this once welcomed day to honor fathers become little more than a footnote to church attendance or the evening news? Despite the fact many have fallen for that misrepresentation, there are many good men who are great dads. They have embraced the God-given role of fatherhood and are impacting their children by helping them to build and live successful lives. Conversely, the one common denominator of many of society’s ills—pornography, human trafficking, abortion, rape, murder, alcoholism, teen suicide, and incarceration—can be traced to absentee fathers. According to statistics, 63 percent of youth suicides are from fatherless homes (US Dept. Of Health/Census) –five times the average. 90 percent of all homeless and runaway children are
S
from fatherless homes – 32 times the average. 85 percent of all children who show behavior disorders come from fatherless homes – 20 times the average. (Center for Disease Control). 80 percent of rapists with anger problems come from fatherless homes –14 times the average. (Justice & Behavior, Vol 14, p. 403-26). 71 percent of all high school dropouts come from fatherless homes – nine times the average. (National Principals Association Report). From these statistics, it is easy to see that men who have abdicated their roles as fathers is the single greatest problem in society today. Dads need to step up to assume their rightful roles as leaders of the family. Kids are looking at them, and studying them, to see if they are really going to protect them, lead them and love them. It is time to once again make it cool to honor those men who have stood up to be great dads, grand-dads or mentors. Enter the That’s My Dad Movement. This movement is designed to honor the man, not necessarily one’s dad, who most impacted one’s life. The movement, inspired by the new book “That’s My Dad!” just released by Broadstreet Publishing, asks people young and old to visit www.ThatsMyDadMovement.com and follow four simple instructions to honor that man and to encourage others to
follow suit. It’s time to breathe new life into a once proud holiday and take part. The truth everyone wants to, or at least yearn to, stand up and shout, “That’s my dad!”
Understand The Mechanics Behind A Saltwater Filter
ummer is pool season. Come spring, homeowners prepare their backyard pools for several months of leisurely floating or engaging games of aquatic volleyball. This preparation includes uncovering the pool and rebalancing the pool’s chemical levels. Pool preparation and maintenance also includes installing a working filter. While there are many different types of pool filters and filter mediums, in recent years, saltwater filter systems have been growing in popularity. Consumers who want to upgrade to a saltwater system may be interested in learning a bit more about how such systems work. Saltwater systems are those in which chlorine is generated by the system itself. These systems do not usually require the addition of a powdered or liquid form of chlorine. Electrolysis occurs thanks to a chemical process that involves pool water passing through a salt cell and being exposed to a low-voltage current. This essentially breaks up the sodium chloride molecules (salt) into hypochlorous acid and sodium hypochlorite, which are sanitizing agents. Therefore, saltwater systems are not
chlorine-free. They just produce chlorine from a less caustic material. One of the main advantages to a saltwater system is the constant generation of free chlorine. Pool water chemistry is often broken down into FC (free chlorine) and CC (combined available chlorine). FC is yet untouched chlorine that can do its sanitizing job. CC contains chlorine and chloramines, which are produced when the chlorine comes in contact with urine, sweat and other contaminants present in the pool. CC is what contributes to the “chlorine smell” of the water. When there isn’t enough FC and there’s too much CC, pool water levels need to be returned to optimal conditions, usually through a shocking process. However, with saltwater systems, there’s always an abundance of FC being delivered into the water, making levels superchlorinated, and these systems eliminate the formation of CC. Saltwater chlorine generators require few, if any, additional chemicals, as they produce nearly neutral pH levels. This isn’t always 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 hypochlorite sanitizers. Because these saltwater filtration and chlorine-generating systems are relatively automatic, they also can mean less maintenance. This is handy for homeowners who go on vacation or do not want to be hassled by the daily care other systems may require. One of the disadvantages to saltwater systems is the cost, which can be prohibitive
to some people. According to Thursday Pool Manufacturing, installing the average system costs anywhere from $800 to $2,000. But some feel that cost is offset by the money saved on pool chemicals over the course of a season. Switching to a chlorine-generating saltwater filtration system can be a worthwhile investment for many pool owners.

Edison Day Connected Cool Learning-Discovery Groups And The NPS Centennial Junior Ranger Program In Time for Summer
By Michele Guttenberger n Saturday June 4 the West Orange National Historical Park Site of Thomas Alva Edison celebrated Edison Day. It was a day of free admission and special programs for every age. The park had collaborated with West Orange partners to connect community places of continued discovery and learning under their big outdoor tent. There were learning exhibits from the American Chemistry Society (ACS) http://www.njacs.org/, HackNCraftNJ Makerspace http://www.hackncraftnj.org/ , around the world club radio chats from the Tri-County Radio Association www.tcara.org, Black Maria cinematic arts demo – (Nonprofit) Mono No Aware http://mononoawarefilm.com, and a courtyard electric car display from – New Jersey Electric Automobile Association https://njeaa.org/. A special recognition was given to the Junior Ranger program table. On Aug. 25, the National Park Service is turning 100 years old. In 1916 when most of us Americans still traveled by horse and buggy, we found popular support to rally for the initiatives Republican President Theodore Roosevelt had started in preserving America’s amazing natural wonders and historic places. In 1916 there were 35 national parks and monuments. Today there are over 400
National Park sites all over the country, in places you might never expect like - the genuine factory lab buildings Thomas Edison used to conduct his innovative engineering and technology for new modern homes and businesses of the late 19th Century and beyond. Edison Day was an opportunity for kids to become a Centennial Junior Ranger with a commemorative 100th Anniversary Badge fittingly made from etched wood. New Jersey has 12 National Park sites. And many folks have started an American summer tradition to visit these NPS places and collect different park Junior Ranger patch and badges as family earned National souvenirs. You are never too old to be a Junior Ranger. There are dedicated websites for each Park to view their programs. The West Orange site is www.nps.gov/edis. To obtain the Junior Ranger badge there is a set of Junior Ranger workbook activities for children from ages 5 and up to complete. After they successfully complete their list of activities they must take an oath that they promise to share their knowledge with others and enjoy and protect all National Parks. This recognition certificate is signed by a Park Ranger and presented to them along with their badge. Here is the link to download the Centennial Junior Ranger activity workbook to get a head start this summer.
https://www.nps.gov/kids/pdf/Centennial-JrRangerBooklet.pdf. For more special summer programs at Thomas Edison National Historical Park in West Orange see www.nps.gov/edis call 973-736-0550 x11.
