Millburn Student’s Cartoons Gets National Recognition
By Jason Cohen yan Sunada-Wong of Millburn fell in love with art as a child and recently two of his editorial cartoons were recognized nationally. His cartoon, “Another Day at the Office,” which portrays a gerbil coming home from a hard day's work at the animal testing lab won a $1,000 Herb Block scholarship. The other, “Insatiable Appetite,” depicts the media feeding presidential candidate Donald Trump in a high chair, received the gold medal. “I was pleasantly surprised to win the Herblock Foundation Award and I felt validated,” Sunada-Wong said. “It is hard to not think about Trump when you need a political topic this year. The media coverage of him is excessive and unfair compared to the amount of coverage his opponents get. “The $1,000 scholarship prize was an additional in-
centive to attempt to create editorial cartoons, especially since I like comic art,” he added. According to Scholastic Inc. Senior Publicist Mike Barrett, this was the first year Editorial Cartooning was a category. There were 500 entries in the new category and more than 320,000

As he got older his love for art and cartoons grew. From the age of seven to 11, he received cartoon lessons from Rick Parker, a former letterer and cartoonist at Marvel Comics. He continued to foster his passion with the help of his art teacher at Millburn High School Kathleen HarteGilsenan, who he described as extremely supportive.

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. 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.

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.

The Story Of Tea Shared At Millburn Library
By Maryanne ChristianoMistretta orn in Hong Kong, tea expert Selina Law grew up with tea. “Tea is a way of living,” she said. “Take time to enjoy tea - bonding time with friends and family.” Thirty years ago Law came to the United States. The Nutley resident sells product online and gives workshops on tea. Thurs., April 28, Law gave a presentation on “The Story of Tea” at the Millburn Library that included tea sampling and sweet treats. According to legend, tea was first discovered by Chinese emperor and herbalist Shennong in 2737 B.C. Shennong was also known as “Divine Farmer,” “Divine Healer,” and “Father of Agricuture” in China. In tea’s history, the nature of the beverage and style of tea preparation were different from how we experience tea today. Law shared some of the basic processing techniques with the class and then discussed how to drink the tea. Originally in the U.K., Sri Lanka, and India, tea
Tea is prepared for three to four people. Wall hangings would be seasonal, for instance cherry blossoms. And conversation would focus on mindful topics; not mundane. Japanese green tea was one of the teas sampled. It
contained brown rice, which was first added to green tea during World War II, to make it last. Another tea sampled was oolong, from Nepal. Oolong means “dark.” The legend behind the tea is that a hunter named Oolong dis-
covered the tea and oxidized it longer than it should have. The result was a tea in-between green and black. The third tea sampled was a Chinese organic black tea made with pine smoke which smelled almost like continued on next page
Caring for the People Who Take Care of Us was tasted by slurping with a spoon. But in China, it was the norm to swirl tea in the mouth and swallow in order to get the taste better. When thinking about the lifeline of tea, according to Law, “Good quality tea could be kept on the shelf between one to two years before it starts to fade in taste and vibrance.” A library patron asked
about the traditional Japanese tea ceremony and Law explained that it’s meditative, versus a Chinese tea ceremony which is about appreciating tea. In Japan, the process of the ceremony begins with a walk through a tea garden and appreciating the garden. Then one would take off their shoes in a waiting room prior to entering the tearoom quietly.

Story Of Tea...
She said, “Tea can be good to prevent cardio disease. Tea has antioxidants, which are good for the immune system. It’s good for calcium and teeth.” But Law warns to check with the doctor prior to drinking teas, as tea may affect the kidneys if you have health issues. “Listen to the body,” she said. “For some people black tea is easier for the body.” For more information, visit: http://www.screentea.com/.

barbecue; traditionally called “man’s tea” because it’s strong. And finally, a Pu-erh (pronounced “POO-air”) tea was sampled. Pu-erh is the most oxidized form of tea, moderate in taste and not as strong as black tea. It’s said to help with digestion, making it the perfect tea to have after a heavy meal. According to Law, all teas have similar health benefits.

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.

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 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 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 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, 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 arrange-
ments 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 helpsax 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 tshirts; 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 ex-
G
perience,” 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, continued on next page

continued from previous page 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.

Run Or Walk To Support Children With Cancer And Blood Disorders
he Valerie Fund is planning its 2016 Walk/5K Run set for Sat., June 11, in Essex County’s Verona Park. Ready to raise more than $1,000,000 for the fifth consecutive year with more than 4,000 walkers and runners who will meet at Verona Park to support children with cancer and blood disorders? More than 13,000 supporters of The Valerie Fund were invited recently through a state-wide mailing campaign to register for the 2016 Valerie Fund Walk & JAG Physical Therapy 5K Run.

Run Or Walk To Support...
continued from previous page the foundation of the Walk/5K Run’s success as well as the grass roots efforts of hundreds of Walk Captains and their teams. Bunny Flanders, director of Marketing says, “The individuals and businesses donating to the Walk have made it a priority to support the communities in which their employees live and work. We applaud their commitment and willingness to give back and take great pride in sharing some of the major sponsor’s names: Atlantic Health, Barnabas Health, Burger King U.S. Trust, Wakefern Food Corp. and the Inserra, Saker and Village ShopRite Families and JAG Physical Therapy, underwriter of the 5K Run.” Flanders cites the 5K Run as a perfect example of the event’s evolution into a community-wide happening. “In the earlier years, the race attracted fewer than one hundred participants. A decade later, thanks to increased publicity particularly by area running clubs, one
thousand runners signed up for USA Track & Field sanctioned event,” she recounts. Local sponsors will provide complimentary food and beverages and entertainment will include carnival activities, live music, and face painting. After their nine-year-old daughter Valerie succumbed to cancer, Sue and Ed Goldstein were determined that no family should have to travel great distances to receive superior medical care. Along with a group of close friends, they began fundraising efforts from their living room- tireless work that would lead to the 1977 opening of New Jersey’s first pediatric oncology facility at Summit Overlook’s Hospital. Forty years later, The Valerie Fund’s mission remains that of supporting comprehensive health care for children battling cancer and blood disorders. For more information, please contact Bunny Flanders, director of Marketing and Communications at bflanders@thevaleriefund.org.

Thomas Edison – His Hallmark Of Personal Success – A Super Garage
By Michele Guttenberger he hallmark of every successful businessman is to own a family mansion and to have a state of the art garage. Thomas Edison had both. His Glenmont estate home in West Orange that he purchased in 1886 was the decorating and design concept of the former owner Henry C Pedder. However, Edison’s garage was his own innovative design and creation that he built in 1908. Edison oversaw the construction himself because it was an entirely new creation in building construction. Building his private
garage helped him to launch his new business venture – a patented technique of constructing mass-produced, poured-cement houses using iron molds. His garage and the original Yankee stadium became the same cement poured by his own Edison Portland Cement company. Since Thomas Edison was in the vehicle battery business, he owned electric cars. And in 1908 his garage included battery charging stations for them. Edison invented the alkaline storage battery in 1901 and spent years perfecting it for use in automobiles. Edison also had a gasoline filling pump
in his garage for his 1922 Model T Ford – a gift from his good friend Henry Ford. The awesome custom feature of Edison’s Garage is the car turntable to help park his vehicles. A hand crank rotated the resting car to a desired parking position. The driver never had to struggle backing the car into a spot, the turntable did the navigating. The garage helped turn Edison into an involved family man too. The garage gave him the liberty to tinker with his sons Theodore and Charles on home built motorized projects. At the age of 10, Charles Edison, future governor of NJ, built

Special Exhibit Of Early Newcomb Pottery In Nearby Museum
his spring, The Stickley Museum at Craftsman Farms in Morris Plains, present Early Newcomb Pottery from the Barbara and Henry Fuldner Collection from Sat., May 7 to Sun., Nov. 6. This exhibition features a private collection of 28 examples of early Newcomb Pottery assembled over the past three decades by Barbara Fuldner, a great-granddaughter of Gustav Stickley and a Stickley Museum at Craftsman Farms Trustee, and her late husband, Henry Fuldner. The dining room of the Log House, Gustav Stickley’s own home, that he not only designed, but built and lived in from 1910 to 1917, will be the setting for the exhibition, affording a rare opportunity to see Newcomb Pottery in an authentic period Arts and Crafts setting. Stickley’s Craftsman furniture and the home’s interior will serve as the backdrop for the pottery, and examples of textile work from both enterprises will provide a rich visual context.
National
Founded in 1895 as part the H. Sophie Newcomb Memorial College, the women’s coordinate of Tulane University in New Orleans, Newcomb Pottery produced some of the most distinctive and recognizable works of art of the period. During the 45 years it was in operation, approximately one hundred women were affiliated with the enterprise; the majority of the craftswomen were decorators of pottery, but others worked in needlework, metalsmithing, and bookbinding. While Newcomb Pottery embodies its southern origin—decorators were encouraged to draw inspiration from their immediate surroundings—the designs demonstrate a thorough understanding of contemporary design reform principles such as conventionalized, repetitive motifs based on nature. This focused exhibition will highlight the work of a dozen decorators, focusing on the early period of production at Newcomb Pottery. An accompanying catalog will explore connections between these two contempo-
raneous Arts and Crafts enterprises, drawing visual and ideological parallels in their approach to design. Newcomb Pottery and Stickley’s multi-faceted endeavors shared many of the same design principles espoused by leading educators and artists of the period.
The exhibition may be viewed by visitors during all regular tours of the Log House. The museum will also provide opportunities for in-depth exploration through special exhibition tours and educational programs. Go to stickleymuseum.org for updates and more information.
