Randolph Township welcomes its new superintendent, Jennifer A. Fano. Randolph Board of Education approved her threeyear contract at its May 12 meeting as the district's new superintendent following a lengthy search. Fano will officially take over as the district's new superintendent on July 1 after serving as interim superintendent and acting superintendent since last fall. "As a board, we challenged ourselves, to seek, the best qualified person for the job, attracting some 30 applications, from four states and interviewing a handful, with Ms. Fano rising to the top," Board of Education President Al Matos, who was at a technology conference on the west coast, said via video during the meeting. Matos described many of her qualities which make her the perfect candidate for
the job, calling her a “leader” and “a trusted source who moves and inspires people with innovative ideas, turning those ideas into reality and knowing how to replicate success." Fano also "has a collaborative style" and "has the confidence to share her ideas and accept others, and
is, what the district needs, not only to heal, but to move us into new levels of education as a team." She is "data driven," and bases her decisions on research and facts. "From a management perspective, making decisions based on data, is a clear win," he said. "Ms. Fano has a wealth of 21st century curriculum
strategies, which is highly important to our district if we are...to teach our children in a post-industrial era that demands new skills, faster decision making and a premium on innovation." In her remarks, a smiling Fano thanked the board for their kind words. "I am in awe of this overwhelming continued on next page

continued from front page support," she said. "This has been an amazing year. I am really excited and looking forward to leading the district." The board named Fano interim superintendent in the fall 2015 following the retirement of the former superintendent David Browne, who had left the district for medical leave, and was ultimately dismissed by the board after being charged with arson. Fano received her advanced certification in teaching and learning with technology from Columbia University in New York. Fano began her career at Randolph Township Schools as vice principal at Ironia Elementary School in 2005. In 2009, she was chosen to be a district administrator, and in 2011, she was appointed assistant
superintendent in which served until 2015. In that role, she served as district personnel director, responsible for its 700 full- and part-time employees. In 2014, Fano was honored by the Randolph Education Foundation as its Administrator of the Year. In addition she is a recipient of the International Honor Society in Education award. Fano is a frequent public speaker on education policy and an adjunct professor at Rutgers University, as an Alternate Route Instructor for the Center for Effective School Practices. “We are extraordinarily pleased to have made our selection and know Jenn Fano will be an outstanding superintendent,” Matos said after naming Fano as the finalist

for the position on April 12. “After reviewing applications from about three dozen candidates and interviews with five finalists, it became apparent that the best choice for the district was already at the helm.” The board worked with the New Jersey School Board Association’s Superintendent Search Committee to conduct a comprehen-
sive search process for the best candidates. As part of the process, the NJSBA committee had six staff-and-community feedback sessions to help the Board of Education identify qualities best suited to the district’s needs. According to Matos, Fano was the sole candidate who had the vision and skills they were seeking.

Two Local Men Named Among State’s Top Community College Students
aniel Edens of Randolph, an engineering science major, and Ethan Mauch, of Mendham, a humanities social science major at County College of Morris (CCM), have been named to the 2016 New Jersey All-State Academic Team. The 2016 team consists of 37 community college students from New Jersey who have demonstrated outstanding academic ability and exceptional community service as members of the Phi Theta Kappa (PTK) Honor Society. Edens and Mauch both have held positions on the executive board of Alpha Kappa Kappa, CCM’s PTK chapter. Edens served as president and Mauch as
team members at the 22nd annual PTK Day held at the Wyndham Garden Hotel in Trenton on Thurs., May 5. Edens said he was grateful for the opportunity to meet with state legislators and top students from other

ever too late to learn about the history of Randolph. Why not spend some time on a Sunday at the Randolph Museum, formerly known as the Museum of Old Randolph. The Historical Society of Old Randolph (HSOR) oversees The Randolph Museum, which is open on Sunday afternoons April through Oct. from 1 p.m.-4 p.m. Formed in 1979, HSOR is a nonprofit organization created to promote and preserve the unique heritage of Randolph Township. Monthly meetings are held to plan activities, discuss projects and share stories about Randolph’s past. At the museum, visitors can see artifact displays exhibited from in an out of Randolph that include an old-fashioned schoolroom, home life, local industry, farming, and the Mt. Freedom resort industry. Museum-goers can gain an insight into the industries that brought the area
from colonial times to present. Opened in 1988, the museum had been housed in a two-family summer cottage that was one of Randolph’s forty-five bungalow colonies, once popular summer vacation destinations during the township’s resort era from 1905 through the 1960s. In late summer of 2005, the museum moved into the Brundage House, an 1867 building adjacent to Freedom Park. The museum’s new location was made possible when the 2004 Town Council granted permission for the Randolph Museum to occupy the entire ground floor. Individuals or groups seeking a guided tour may e-mail hsor@juno.com or call 973-989-7095. More information about the HSOR and the museum may be found at http://www.randolphnj.org/about_randolph/historical_society.

Explores Lessons In Character From Biblical Stories In New Course
ow to beat burnout, gain perspective when judgment is clouded, and make progress on the goals most important? The newest course from the Rohr Jewish Learning Institute (JLI) offers an interesting twist to dealing with these common challenges—an approach that examines the stories and characters of kings and prophets. The Chabad of Randolph plans to conduct six sessions of the JLI course, Strength and Struggle: Lessons in Character from the Stories of Our Prophets, at 48 West Hanover Avenue, Randolph on Tues. evenings and Wed. afternoons through June. “Strength and Struggle is a journey in which we gain insight into our own struggles by examining the lives of inspiring biblical heroes and antiheroes,” said Rabbi Levi Kaplan of JLI’s headquarters in Brooklyn, NY. “For many, it will fill an important gap in knowledge in the area of biblical history, and it provides fascinating
wisdom from the Talmud and 3000 years of Jewish literature, to help them deal with life’s struggles on the road to becoming more effective people.” Strength and Struggle spans six eras in biblical history, to acquaint participants with the nuances of the Israelites’ earliest history and intimate details, as seen in the lives of many of its beloved characters, including David, Saul, Ruth, Jephthah, Elijah, Elisha, and Jonah. “The course is filled with eternal lessons for life—of struggle and triumph, courage and humility, hope and resilience,” explains Chava Bekhor, one of the local JLI instructors. “If you’ve ever wanted to meet King David in person, this is about as close as you’ll come.” Dr. Simcha Leibowitz, the representative of the World Zionist Federation to North American and an expert on leadership and biblical studies said, “Even great leaders, judges, and kings experience challenging circumstances and moments of weakness
from which we must learn to emerge even stronger. I am certain that participants in this program will find this original and fascinating approach to biblical study meaningful and relevant to their lives and to the daily challenges they face.” All JLI courses are open to the public,
and attendees need not be affiliated with a particular synagogue, temple, or other house of worship. Interested students may call 973-8953070 or visit www.myJLI.com for registration and for other course-related information.

Support Cancer Research With Pink Can Purchase
By Anastasia Marchese he recycling coordinator, Kathleen Heath, is excited about the new pink can initiative in Randolph.
“Out of everybody I know, everyone is related to somebody who has been touched by the disease,” says Heath. “This is an amazing opportunity to honor our friends and neighbors who are breast cancer survivors. I am looking forward to having a pink can in front of my house.” This project has been a couple of years in the works. Heath was presented with the idea by the supplier who makes the pink carts for recycling programs. She then went on location to the supplier and got all the information. She also saw the carts first hand. Heath presented the idea to the town, but the ordering process can take a while. Now, the town governance is on board with the program and the carts are ordered. They should soon be on their way. One of the factors that made the process take longer is that the recycling center uses funds from their tonnage grant to do any recycling center enhancements as well as to purchase new carts. The tonnage grant program in NJ is a state run and mandated program started back in 1981. It has gone through a series of changes and amendments since then, but still provides funding for municipal governments by giving them a certain amount of rebate per ton of recycled mate-
rial. This money comes back to the towns through the “Recycling Enhancement Act” (N.J.S.A. 13:1E-96) which according to the NJ state website “reestablished funding for local recycling programs through a tax of $3 per ton on all solid waste accepted for disposal or transfer at solid waste facilities, requires the appointment of Certified Recycling Professionals (Coordinators) and specifies that grants received may only be expended on recycling.” This is a way to encourage communities to send less waste to their local landfill, while also providing a funding source to enhance local recycling programs and facilities. Randolph has a single stream recycling program. All a home’s or business's recyclable materials can be combined into a single container. Cardboard, paper, steel, plastic and glass are sorted by machines and conveyor belts. “That is why plastic bags are not supposed to be included,” said Health. There is no way to sort them out through the recycling system and they end up mixed with the paper, which is made into large bales. If the paper and plastic bags are mixed together in the bales, then the bales cannot be recycled. Heath also recounted an interesting story of a wooden log having been placed in a single stream recycling container. It ended up on the conveyor belt at the separation fa-
cility, stopping the whole works as the log had to be cleared from the equipment. Situations like this are costly and a waste of time. That is why it is important to follow the guidelines for what can and cannot go into the single stream recycling containers. There is a limited supply of the new pink carts, which are 35 gallon size and cost $40. From each can purchase, $5 will go to support breast cancer research. Most of the cans have the Town of Randolph symbol on the side, but there are some being ordered without a logo if someone in a neighboring community is interested. Anyone interested in putting in an order for a pink recycling can do so online at pinkcart@randolphnj.org.

Current inventory of several blood types is running below the desired target level. “It’s simple: hospital patient demand for blood often outpaces our best efforts to recruit donors and schedule blood drives,” said NYBC Executive Director of Donor Recruitment Andrea Cefarelli. “There are always reasons but we have to overcome that for the sake of hospital patients who need us.” “This is one of the toughest times of the year,” Cefarelli added. “We’re asking for our dedicated supporters to roll up their sleeves to make sure we’re able to provide our hospital partners with whatever they need to take care of their patients.” Blood products have a short shelf life – from five to 42 days, so constant replenishment is necessary.

ccording to Scotts®, a premier lawn seed and care company, grass clippings contain the same beneficial nutrients, including nitrogen, phosphorous and potassium, as fertilizer. Grass clippings can provide as much as onethird of the annual feeding requirement of your lawn. Homeowners who mow their own lawns can save themselves the trouble of bagging and disposing of clippings by leaving the clippings on their lawns. To make the most of grass clippings, mow regularly so grass blades do not grow too high and make sure mower blades are sharp before moving. Blades that grow too high and get left behind on the grass may prevent the soil from getting the moisture it needs to thrive, so always mow before the grass gets too high. While grass clippings can benefit the soil and contribute to a lush and healthy lawn, always bag and remove clippings if you notice signs of disease in your lawn. Diseased clippings can spread fungus that affects the health and appearance of a lawn. It’s also acceptable to bag clippings if you want to add them to a compost pile that will eventually be used to enrich the soil.

Randolph’s Music Education Program Recognized Nationally
andolph has been honored with the Best Communities for Music Education designation from the NAMM Foundation for its outstanding commitment to music education. Randolph joins 476 districts across the country in receiving the prestigious award in 2016. The Best Communities Music Education designation is awarded to districts that demonstrate outstanding achievement in efforts to provide music access and education to all students. Districts that have been recognized by the NAMM Foundation are often held up as models for other educators looking to boost their own music education programs. To qualify for the Best Communities designation, Randolph answered detailed questions about funding, graduation requirements, music class participation, instruction time, facilities, support for the music program and community music-making programs. Responses were verified with school officials and reviewed by The Music Research Institute at the University of Kansas. This award recognizes that Randolph is leading the way with learning opportunities as outlined in the new federal education legislation, the Every Student Succeeds Act (ESSA). The legislation, signed into law in Dec. 2015, replaces No Child Left Behind Act (NCLB), which was often
criticized for an overemphasis on testing—while leaving behind subjects such as music. ESSA recommends music and the arts as important elements of a well-rounded education for all children. “Randolph has a long-standing reputation as being one of the most respected and strongest music programs in the state, and we are very proud of that fact,� said Frank Perrone, supervisor of Visual and Performing Arts. “Receiving this designation for the ninth consecutive year shows the pure dedication our music teachers along with the administration, board of education and the community have in providing the absolute best musical experiences for the students of Randolph.� Community music programs have been drawing increased attention because of a landmark study by Northwestern University brain scientists. These researchers found new links between students in community music programs and academic success in subjects such as reading. Beyond the Northwestern study, other reports indicate that learning to play music can boost academic and social skills such as processing math and learning to cooperate in group settings. A 2015 study, “Striking A Chord� supported by the NAMM Foundation, also outlines the overwhelming desire by teachers and parents for music education opportunities

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.

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 non-profit 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.

Union Influence, Morris View Key Topics For Freeholder Hopefuls
By Lynn Adamo aybe John Sette’s admonition that “we’ve had problems with civility” struck a chord, or candidates themselves just needed a break from the cantankerous tone, but May 9’s debate among Morris County’s Republican freeholder and sheriff candidates likely wasn’t the fireworks display some anticipated. Spectators hoping to hear the kind of incendiary comments that have punctuated portions of this year’s race might’ve been left wondering what happened during what was, by this cycle’s definitions, a tame debate at The Chandelier at Flanders Valley, formerly known at Flanders Valley Wedding & Banquets. The evening was sponsored by Republican clubs of Mt. Olive, the Chesters-Mendhams, and Washington Township and attended by about 125. The event opened with Mt. Olive Council President Joe Nicastro welcoming the crowd. The Republican primary is Tues., June 7. Sette, chair of the county’s Republican Committee, urged candidates to observe a level of decorum during the discussion, and the nine participants largely obliged. “I’ve been doing this 34 years, and I’ve never seen anything like it,” he said in his introduction. “We need to talk about issues and do the right thing for Morris County.” The evening began with moderator Guy Gregg, former state assemblyman for New Jersey’s 24th District, posing questions to the two Republicans, both residents of Boonton Township, seeking to replace outgoing Sheriff Edward V. Rochford, who took office in 1993. James Gannon spent 33 years in law enforcement and global security, including as deputy chief of investigations at the Morris County Prosecutor’s Office, the FBI's Joint Terrorism Task Force and Novartis. He coauthored the “Morris County Counter Terrorism Task Force Manual,” which underscores one philosophical divide with his rival. John Sierchio, endorsed by Rochford, served 27 years in law enforcement in Essex County Sheriff’s Office and police department, and as detective sergeant with the Bloomfield Police Department. He also served as chair of the state’s Police and
Fireman’s Retirement System and is a member of the Boonton Township Board of Education. Their divisions on homeland security, the sheriff’s salary and their own pensions came into focus, as did respective plans for the Morris County Correctional Facility, which the freeholder board assumed responsibility for last September. Previously, it had been the sheriff’s, but escalating overtime and other costs prompted the takeover. Gannon said he would look closely and thoughtfully at proposed salary increases at the facility, which will “go through labor, legal and administrative review first. We’re not going to be arbitrarily signing contracts.” Sierchio suggested his place “on both sides of the table” offers a unique perspective. “We need to sit down with the unions and see what’s needed, what’s deserved,” he said. “Dialogue first — I’ve always been a firm believer in that.” The pair disagreed on the county’s homeland security responsibilities, with Sierchio believing responses to terroristic threats or attacks rest with the federal government, not the sheriff’s office. “We don’t have the resources to respond,” he said. He pledged greater focus on fighting the county’s heroin epidemic. Gannon countered that “a multidisciplinary response” and close collaboration between the county, sheriff’s and prosecutor’s offices, Office of Emergency Management and FBI is required to combat terrorism close to home and is a greater threat than substance abuse. “I can connect the dots very simply,” Gannon said. Both agreed collaboration and shared services are important for police forces across the county. Freeholder hopefuls debate Morris View The seven Republican freeholder candidates agreed deciding the fate of Morris View Nursing Home, which has chronically operated at less-than capacity and is one of a handful of county-owned facilities of its kind in the state, is crucial in the coming term. “We didn’t wake up this morning and say, ‘My God, what happened at Morris continued on next page

continued from previous page View?’ This has been going on for quite some time. The can keeps getting kicked down the road. ‘Let a successive freeholder board deal with it.’ We’re ready to deal with it,” Randolph Township Mayor Roman Hirniak said of himself and running mates Louis Valori and Peter King. “We need to maintain Morris View for those individuals who can’t afford private care,” Hirniak added. Incumbent Kathryn DeFillippo balked at the charge she and other freeholders haven’t taken time to study the issue. “We’ve been living this for years,” she said. “To suggest we have not done our homework is a joke. We have to find the right fit” and ultimately, she stated, “It’s not for sale.” Douglas Cabana, running with fellow freeholders DeFillippo and Thomas Mastrangelo, was equally adamant. “There will always be a Morris View for the residents of Morris County,” Cabana said, adding that the sitting board received findings of a study it ordered in February and will make “a definitive decision” on the facility by the end of 2016. Former Freeholder John Krickus, running independently, emphasized “there will always be a need for indigent residents of Morris County to have a facility to go to” and “we need to ensure that that need is met.” Krickus and others suggested close study of the three models county administrators have already recommended, including outright sale of the facility, leasing it or leasing it while managing on-site services. Adult day care is one program to consider expanding to fill unused portions of the fa-
cility, King suggested. Union influence debated Gregg asked candidates to outline unions with whom they’d met, and while candidates acknowledged sitting down with teachers and other labor unions, Carpenters Local 254 seemed the evening’s biggest political lightning rod. King and his running mates did not support Local 254’s apprenticeship program because “it took away a municipality’s, and in this instance, the county’s right to negotiate with smaller businesses,” he said. “It conflicted with the contracts law that wants as many people (possible) at the table.” “No matter which four points of the compass of this county you visit, this apprenticeship program is identified as something that will destroy business and is reviled by Republicans,” Hirniak said. Krickus, who said he hadn’t met with the carpenters — “My invitation must’ve gotten lost in the mail” — pointed out that the union’s political director, Anthony Abrantes, was recently appointed to an alternate’s position on the county planning board, a board upon which DeFillippo also serves. Valori and Hirniak deemed the appointment “quid pro quo.” The Edison-based union represents 4,000 carpenters across the state and requires five years of combined on-the-job and school training. It has endorsed Cabana, DeFillippo and Mastrangelo in the coming primary “because we support economic development,” Cabana said. After a round of debate on the topic, Gregg asked the field to signal if they’d ultimately pledge to reject the union’s apprenticeship program, to which each candidate raised a hand.

Community Outreach And Combatting Heroin Crises Leading Issues For Sheriff Contender
By Cheryl Conway unning for sheriff was always in John Sierchio’s radar once he retired from law enforcement, but the Boonton Twp. resident admits that having a standoff against the current sheriff was out of the question. “I’ve always respected his career,” Sierchio says about Sheriff Edward Rochford who has been sheriff since 1993. “This year he didn’t announce it,” early on if he would be running for a ninth term. “This guy’s an icon; he’s doing a great job. I was waiting to see what the sheriff would do.” At the same time, “I said if he’s not going to run, I’m going to run.” Then Sierchio received a phone call from Rochford who told him he would endorse him as the next sheriff if he ran. Rochford told him, “This is my family here; these are my babies. I don’t trust them with these other people. You fight with what you believe in.” Sierchio’s response was, “If you endorse me, I’m in. There’s no better endorsement than from someone who’s had the position for 24 years. When I do something, I dive in; I don’t just put my toe in.” In a press release, Rochford says, “With 24 years of experience as sheriff, I know exactly what it takes to protect the safety of Morris County residents and the wallets of taxpayers. I also know this: there is no one better qualified than John Sierchio to fight for the families, seniors, and taxpayers of Morris County as our next sheriff, and that’s why I’m proud to endorse his candidacy today.” After 27 years of working in law enforcement, Sierchio, 52, retired in June 2014. A republican, he faces Jim Gannon in the June election for Morris County Sheriff. “I think I can do a good independent job,” says Sierchio. With “my law enforcement experience, I didn’t work behind a desk; I worked on the street with the people,” says Sierchio. “I understand the problems; I know how to deal with them.” Combatting the heroin crises in Morris County, increasing community outreach and improving moral between community leaders and the sheriff’s office, while being fiscally responsible, are Sierchio’s key points in his campaign. “I’ve always been a big proponent of community outreach,” says Sierchio. “To let these people know we are there to help them.” Sierchio says that “perception of police needs to be changed.” More than 80 percent of the time “it’s going to be negative.” Only time it is really positive is when police come to a resident’s house to help with a medical call. Parents are always telling their kids ‘police are going to arrest you if you don’t stop,’ he says. As a police officer, “that was my job, locking people up,” he says. But the best part of his job was when he was able to help people “in a positive light,” like going to charity events, community outreach events or helping people by raising money for families when they needed it.
Combatting the heroin crises in Morris County is on the top of Sierchio’s goals if elected sheriff. He had just attended a heroin summit-one woman from Rockaway stood up and spoke how she just buried her son “37 days ago.” Another woman from Denville shared how her daughter has been in jail for five months, was in and out of jail for eight years, and then will be off to rehab. “Why don’t they bring rehab into the jail?” Sierchio asks. While the prosecutor’s office has a task force to deal with the heroin crises, Sierchio says “the hard thing to do is solve the problem. I want committees,” he suggests, including community leaders, law enforcement, counselors and former addicts. He also suggests seminars “on what to look for” when it comes to heroin; and a hotline in the sheriff’s office that would keep callers anonymous. Parents, who feel that their son or daughter is using heroin, can call the hotline. “We will put you in touch with a counselor. We want to point them toward counseling.” Many parents are afraid to call police as they “fear” their child will be arrested then they’ll need an attorney. “We want to leave it out of the judicial system,” says Sierchio. “We are not going to put them in the judicial system; we are going to put them in counseling.” For those who are in jail, Sierchio suggests that inmates attend classes while in jail such as anger management classes for those charged with domestic violence crimes. “There’s so much grant money out there,” says Sierchio to offset costs for such classes for those in jail. Having a hot line for child abuse, spouse abuse and senior abuse as well as a separate committee dealing with those issues is another idea so people can seek the help they need. “They are afraid to call the local PD,” says Sierchio. “People are afraid of being labeled; towns are so small, they are embarrassed.” Promoting the Project Lifesaver program that the county does offer is also on Sierchio’s to do list. Used as a GPS system, users wear bracelets so authorities are able to find individuals who can get lost if they have dementia, Alzheimer’s and other conditions. Bringing back the moral between the sheriff’s department and the Morris County Freeholders is an obstacle Sierchio knows he needs to face if elected. “You got to work the problem out,” he says. “I’m a firm believer in diologue.” Sierchio says, “I want to bring in the real aspect of the sheriff’s department,” that being community outreach. “The people have had enough. They want to be part of it. They are tired of being told what to do. They want to be heard. They want to sit at the table. “I’m not going to be that career politician,” he adds. “I want to be working with the people. I want to be the community outreach sheriff; I want to be the people’s sheriff.
I’m their guy, I’m one of them.” Sierchio points to his background, work experience and volunteering that have shaped him to being an ideal sheriff. “I got the law enforcement experience we need and the fiscal conservative we deserve.” Sierchio, who grew up in Bloomfield, started his law enforcement career in 1986 with the Essex County Sheriff’s office. “I always wanted to go into law enforcement; always wanted to go into FBI,” he says. He had an uncle who was a Newark police officer and a cousin too who served as role models. He chose local police rather than FBI, as “I really wanted to stay close to my family,” he says. He attended Montclair State University for criminal justice and when he was 22 started his career at the Essex County Sheriff’s department, where he stayed until 1989. “I wanted to get on the street, so I went to Essex County police department. I worked in Newark; the experience I got in Newark in two and a half years, you won’t see in Morris County.” In 1991, he moved over to Bloomfield Police Department and worked the “4 to 12 shift for 20 years.” He was a union representative for 12 years, vice president of the Bloomfield PBA Local 32 for two years and PBA State delegate for 15 years until promoted to sergeant. In 2001, he ran for the Police and Firemen’s Retirement System Pension Board of Trustees, a non-paid position, in which he served for 12 years. In his four-year role as chair, he saved millions of dollars for taxpayers and protected the continued on page 26

Keeping People Safe Top Priority For Sheriff Candidate
By Cheryl Conway e walked the local beat, investigated and solved major crimes, mentored newer detectives and traveled the world in a head security job for a top pharmaceutical company- the time is now for Jim Gannon to top off his career as the next sheriff of Morris County. As a life-long resident of Morris County with 33 years working in law enforcement and global security, Gannon has laid out his plans to confront current challenges facing law enforcement and to lead Morris County families into a safer future. Two republicans running for the seat which had been taken by Sheriff Edward Rochford since 1993, Gannon will face John Sierchio in the June 7 election. Confident that he has what it takes to wear that sheriff’s badge, Gannon, 54, points to his leadership, education and “heart” for being the best candidate for the position. “I have the leadership, the integrity, the education and the heart to be the next Morris County sheriff,” says Gannon, who resides in the Town of Boonton. “I’ve walked the walk,” he says from a local beat cop in his hometown of Boonton and Boonton Twp., deputy chief of Investigations at the Morris County Prosecutor’s Office, FBI’s elite Joint Terrorism Task Force and then global head of Security Risk for Novartis Pharmaceuticals. “Thirty three years of experience, that is very unique. The time is now for that leadership. It’s an exciting time to take the Morris County Sheriff’s Office to the next level. The time is now to do that.” Regarding his leadership, Gannon says “I came up the ranks in Morris County; I was born here,” 1961 in St. Claire’s Hospital in Denville. “I was educated here; I worked here. I know the county like the back of my hand.” Not only did Gannon work his way up through the ranks, but he was introduced to law enforcement as a young child since his father worked as a NYPD detective for 32 years specializing in Missing Persons investigations. “My father would take me to work sometimes,” he describes. “I found it intriguing. I saw it up close and personal,” since the age of seven, teaching him “things at a young age.”
When Gannon turned 18, he started to get involved with the Boonton Police Department and after college graduation, officially began his career in law enforcement as a patrolman. He received his associate’s degree in law enforcement from the County College of Morris in 1981; bachelor’s degree in criminal justice administration from William Paterson University in 1983; and a master’s degree in administrative science from Fairleigh Dickinson. Gannon has been involved in so many cases over the years, from sex crimes, to child abuse, narcotic and domestic violence. He was also commander of the FuncoLand Homicide Task Force and the Walter Contreras Homicide Task Force. While he says he had a “spectacular experience” working eight years at Novartis, “very lucky” and “blessed” in that position which allowed him to travel the world, he retired Jan. 1, and decided that “I just want to circle back into government” in order “to give back. We are in tough times. We are in dangerous times in America.” His plan is to “bring a modern approach” to the sheriff’s post which provides a lot of services to Morris County such as Canine, Bomb Services, Crime Scene Investigations, SWAT and even security at the court house. He says “people should be able to present their case in court without intimidation.” In the courthouse, “The mission should be to keep people safe,” says Gannon. “There’s a real responsibility there. You have to develop a plan to deal with risk,” like knowing which cases are going on the courtroom during the day. “The more we can improve on the levels of communication the better we will be.” Gannon questions, “How is the security in the sheriff’s office? Are we doing everything we can to keep people safe? These are all plans that need to be developed.” Creating partnerships with police, sheriff’s office and prosecutor’s office is a good place to start. “You can do tremendous things.” Security goes outside the courthouse into schools and the community, and making the county safer is one of Gannon’s key points. "We live in extraordinarily dangerous times, where even places like Morris County can become a target for violent
crime and acts of terrorism,” says Gannon. His idea is to “work with local, county, state and federal law enforcement and public safety communities to keep Morris County’s neighborhoods, schools, and businesses safe and secure, and to strengthen the county’s preparedness in light of the increased threat of terrorism. “We live in a great county, but vigilance and preparedness are absolutely essential to keeping us safe and secure,” Gannon says. “I have the experience – both foreign and domestic – to work with law enforcement at all levels of government to protect our citizens.” Gannon’s next goal is to “promote programs that help seniors identify and avoid consumer fraud, keep children safe, crack down on gangs, and combat the use and sale of illegal drugs. “Heroin, it’s a real issue in Morris County and throughout the state,” says Gannon, with more than 700 people dying from usage last year in NJ. “The scourge of heroin and other powerfully addictive drugs are a constant threat to our children and families,” he said. “We need to aggressively attack gangs and drug dealers, while helping those who become addicted get help and treatment.” Gannon says, “we have a jail; we have great services here and great police officers; no reason why we can’t develop a better plan.” Creating partnerships with local,
county, state and federal law enforcement should be part of that plan. “We need to strengthen relationships and stance on preparedness,” he says. “We have to train together; first time meeting should not be at the scene. We’ll be able to do that under my watch; building bridges.” Protecting seniors is also a stronghold for Gannon. “They are constantly being targeted by unscrupulous criminals trying to separate them from their life savings,” he says. “I will work to educate our seniors and pursue punishment to the fullest extent of the law for fraudsters out there trying to prey on innocent people.” Another part of Gannon’s plan as sheriff is “to restore a productive and respectful relationship with the freeholder board, and recommit the sheriff’s office to financial accountability and responsibility in these challenging economic times. “We all need to work together; people want that; they don’t want the banter. Do what’s right for the people of Morris County. That’s what I will do.” He says, “People are sick and tired of elected officials fighting with each other and worried more about scoring political points than solving problem. I will run an independent sheriff’s office in line with my constitutional obligations, while at the same time working with the freeholders and other duly elected representatives throughout continued on next page

continued from page 24 savings of law abiding citizens by exposing fraudulent pension claims. “In 2007, I was calling for pension reform. It wasn’t popular with the unions but it was the right thing to do,” he says, as there was a 20 billion dollar pension system at that time. “I was calling for pension reform. There’s more than just a funding issue; there’s abuses.” When Chris Christie was elected governor, he named Sierchio to serve on his Gubernatorial Transition Team. In Nov. 2009, Sierchio was appointed to serve as a member of his Law and Public Safety Subcommittee to review and provide recommendations regarding reforms to the division of NJ State Police, Highway Traffic Safety and Alcoholic Beverage Control.
Sierchio has received dozens of awards such as a proclamation in recognition of his courageous work as a volunteer at Ground Zero; a proclamation from the Newark City Council for saving lives of several residents by entering a burning building before fire department arrival; named “PBA Officer of the Year” by the Essex County Conference of PBA’s in 2004. “No one has a background like me,” says Sierchio, who is serving his seventh year on the Boonton Twp. Board of Education. “Seventeen years on labor side, 19 years on administrative side. Very rarely you get someone like me.” Married to Lisa and raising four children, Ashley, John, Jordyn and Teresa- Sierchio currently works in medical sales and pension consulting.

continued from previous page Morris County to ensure that government answers to the will of the people, not political bosses and special interests who try to pull strings from behind-the-scenes.” As far as being fiscally responsible, Gannon plans to do his part. “It’s not about the money for me,” says Gannon, who plans to forego his police pension as Morris County sheriff. “My heart is in it. It’s an important position. We can do good things. I’m the protector of the people. I’m for the people. That’s where we
N
need to go. Need to do it without a drain on the taxpayer.” He has also given back to the community as current president of the 200 Club of Morris County and adjunct professor at Centenary College teaching Death Investigation, among other involvements. Gannon was married for 26 years to his wife, Lisa, who died in 2010 after battling Multiple Sclerosis. They have one daughter, Kate DeSantis, who is expecting to bring Gannon’s first grandchild into the world this summer.

Students To Learn By Hands On Approach Through Next Practices Grant
ara Gilligan, eighth grade science teacher from Randolph Middle School (RMS), and Kristen Miller, second grade teacher from Center Grove Elementary School, are the recipients of the Randolph Education Foundation (REF) 2016 Next Practices Grants (NPG). These grants will provide eighth and second graders the opportunity to learn through innovative, hands-on experiences inside and outside of the classroom. Gilligan’s proposal, “Trout in the Classroom,” received $1,210 to offer more than 400 eighth graders in RMS the opportunity to learn about the importance of cold water conservation, through a science-based program focused in the process of raising Brook Trout, the official state fish of New Jersey, from eggs to fingerling size for release. “Trout in the Classroom” is a joint program offered through the NJ Division of Fish and Wildlife and Trout Unlimited, that provides cross-curricular learning opportunities encompassing areas such as science, math, language arts, and technology. “As students witness and study the

growth of the trout, they will work to identify a clean, safe cold-water source in Randolph Township to release the trout in the spring,” said Gilligan. “This year-long project incorporates many areas of learning and will develop student, team and teacher relationships as all involved work towards a common goal.” The second proposal, “Little Bits,” submitted by Miller, was awarded $1,139 to provide 80 second graders in Center Grove Elementary School the opportunity to participate in real world problem solving experiences through the use of Little Bits Electronic Kits during Genius hour and STEM sessions. The use of “Little Bits” in the classroom will not only help students to improve skills in subject matter areas such as math, reading, writing and technology, but will also facilitate the development of non-cognitive skills like collaboration, critical thinking, and problem solving. “I believe that the skills that students will learn from exploring with Little Bits will enable them to develop skills for careers that they may have in the future,” said Miller.

“These careers may not even exist, but we need to expose young children to experiences that will open their minds to these possibilities and inventions.” Francesca Lavin, Grant chair and REF board member said, “REF is very pleased to fund ideas that use nature and technology in such creative and innovative ways. Teachers
who are inspired to bring these ideas into fruition will certainly prepare our students for the world they live in.” Created in 2013, the REF’s NPG program seeks to fund up to $10,000 each year in fresh ideas proposed by teachers and staff members who want to explore nontraditional, innovative ways to teach and learn.

Boys’ Soccer Team Helps Kick Cancer Through Ball Fundraiser
T
he Randolph High School Boys' Varsity Soccer Team is helping Morristown Memorial Medical Center "kick cancer" by educating women about breast cancer. The team sold black T-shirts with pink soccer balls printed with "Let's Kick Cancer" and raised $1,300 for the Carol W. and Julius A. Rippel Breast Center at Morristown Memorial Medical Center. In a special ceremony in the RHS auditorium on May 6, team members presented a check to Renee Trambert, a nurse navigator/patient care coordinator at the breast center. "Every year we try to do something to give back to the community," said Kevin Weber, one of the team's senior captains. "Our team was personally affected by this disease." Sandy Weber, who is varsity liaison to the team's booster club, said the parents were proud of the team's efforts. "The Booster Club is proud to support the boys’ soccer team as they raise funds for Breast Cancer Research, something that does
not affect them, but the women who surrounded them," she said. "We assisted them, through working with the captains in t-shirt design and placing the order." Renee Trambert, who accepted the check for the Carol W. and Julius A. Rippel Breast Center, thanked the team for its' generous donation and commended the boys for their efforts. "You guys are phenomenal," Trambert said. "I am so touched by what they did. It was an outstanding gift from these young men and we are so appreciative," she said. Trambert told the team and administrators that the team's donation would be used for educational materials about the new services offered at the Rippel Breast Center including 3D Mammography. "I applaud you," Trambert said. "Your donation will help many women including your mothers, aunts and sisters." Mousis said he was very proud of his team. "It is a worthwhile cause," he said. "The boys came up with the idea and we went with it."

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. continued on next page

continued from previous page 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 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 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 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.

Family Activities For A Fun-filled Summer
re you running out of ideas for entertaining your family this summer? Here are a few that may well inspire you and give you and your children a summer to remember. Learn more about the animal kingdom There are lots of places to visit that will allow you to get up close and learn more about small and large animals from here and around the world. Maybe you can even discover a few from the past — mammoths and dinosaurs are always fascinating. Aquariums, zoos, insectariums, interpretation centres and museums will impress the whole family. Hiking is also a great way to meet lots of furry and feathered animals. And what about boat trips that give you the opportunity to see some marine animals up close?
day in a 19th century village, admire some modern art or watch a puppet show?
Discover some local flavours Discovering how cheese, honey or chocolate is made or visiting a farm offering local produce or pick-your-own fruit are just some of the many fun and yummy activities you can do. And with the many agritourist circuits now on offer, planning a gourmet itinerary has never been so easy. Enjoy!
Some culture, perhaps? Science, the arts, history and culture: whatever interests your family has, you’ll definitely find something for everyone at the exhibitions, shows and festivals that are put on during the summer months. So, would you like to watch the stars, spend a
Watch frogs, see a puppet show or visit a farm: what would you like to do this summer?
S
Pools And Spas Equal Pleasure And Relaxation
ome of us are pool people and some are spa people; others are a bit of both. But, whichever group you belong to, there’s nothing quite like a splendid summer day for spending time in the water, having fun or just lazing around. Ah, the pool: source of a thousand small pleasures and a delicious, blissful coolness on a hot, sunny day. It’s just the thing to fill young and old alike with a real sense of joy. Sure, the family swimming pool is the children’s favourite playground — or maybe even the whole neighbourhood’s — but it’s also a great place to exercise. There’s nothing to stop you from indulging in an aqua-fitness session in the morning and a romantic swim at midnight. In addition, the pool allows children to learn how to swim. And what would you do without a pool during family barbecues? And the spa? What a great place for animated conversations. It’s so comfortable and relaxing, especially when the evenings
are a bit cooler. And don’t forget that the therapeutic benefits of spas are a proven fact. You’d like to enjoy the advantages of a pool as well as the benefits of a spa? A swim spa lets you exercise by swimming against a current, offering you the best of both worlds and at a better price than buying one of each.
W
Soak Up The Joys Of The Great Outdoors This Summer
hy not make the most of the joys of nature by spending a day outside in glorious nature? There are all sorts of possibilities open to you. Whether you prefer hiking or mountain biking, you could tackle the perfect trail for you (there are trails for all levels of ability) and discover beautiful scenery, while enjoying all that wonderful fresh air. With family, friends or as a couple, you could enjoy watching wildlife in its natural habitat. Don’t forget your binoculars! You’ll need them to see every detail of the birds in their co-
T
lourful summer plumage. Of course, some places even give you the opportunity to combine land and water activities — how about a leisurely outing in a kayak or canoe, or even a canoe-camping trip? Love challenges? The great outdoors has more than a few to offer. Put your agility and endurance to the test by tackling an obstacle course — on the ground or in the trees — or organize a friendly geocaching competition. Will you be the first to discover the “treasure”? If you want a real adrenaline rush, rock climbing will give you an unforgettable experience. What could be better than the song of cascading waterfalls, babbling brooks, chirping birds or rustling leaves to help you escape your daily routine and recharge your batteries? With so many small pleasures at your fingertips, you certainly won’t have time to feel bored this summer. Go on, throw yourself into the arms of Mother Nature.
All Kinds Of Sports For A Fun-filled Summer
here’s nothing like sunshine and the summer holidays for getting — or staying — in shape while having lots of fun. In fact, summer is the ideal time of year for practising all kinds of sports, whether you’re discovering or rediscovering them. Here are some ideas for activities that will keep you on the move all summer long. Are you a fan of soccer, baseball, volleyball, football or ultimate frisbee? If yes, gather some friends and family members, form two teams and play a few games. Or, if you’re up for it, you could join a neighbourhood team and even participate in a local tournament. If you’re really pumped, why not organize a mini Olympiad? Take inspiration from the upcoming Olympic Games and host competitions in events like swimming and the long jump. If you like good company but team sports aren’t your cup of tea, don’t worry; lots of individual sports let you spend quality time with your loved ones. Con-
sider, for example, a hard-fought tennis game, horse riding, cycling, rollerblading or golf. Have you ever tried foot-golf, the new game that combines golf and soccer? Water sports such as kayaking, water skiing and kite surfing are also great choices for people who prefer individual sports. You’d like to take on a personal challenge? Start training for a marathon or half-marathon. In short, there’s no lack of opportunity to have fun with sports. Which ones will you be trying this summer?

Stay-At-Home Dads
aternity leave was unthinkable not so long ago. However, society is changing quickly and everyone’s roles are being redefined. Women have an established place in the job market and are able to make a good living; men are increasingly involved in childrearing and take on some of the household chores. Because of this, Mom is no longer the default caregiver, and more and more fathers are now putting their careers on hold to take on the role of stay-at-home dad. Not only do men want to be more involved in their children’s upbringing, but they also want to spend quality time with them. And that’s great news. Even though their childrearing methods may differ from those of women, men are equally proficient in watching over their children, who are the true beneficiaries of both parents’ involvement. Of course, choosing to stay at home for a few months or for several years isn’t always an easy decision to make. Despite the changing face of society, many couples still face prejudice because the notion of the father as the provider remains strong. And stay-at-home dads often have to cope with social isolation; most of the time they are surrounded by mothers at the park or in play groups. Similarly, their male friends’ topics of conversation are largely focused on work and the professional world. However, it is possible for stay-at-home dads to remedy this situation by having a personal project that gives them value and purpose, such as working from home or writing a blog. So, why shouldn’t Dad stay at home if he wants to?
More and more men are deciding to stay at home to look after their children.
Single Fathers: A Rarely Mentioned Reality
T
Whether you’re a man or a woman, raising children alone is never easy.
he image of the single parent is still usually associated with that of the single mother who raises her children alone. Of course, it’s true that mothers are still usually given custody, especially of very young children. However, single fathers, although in the minority, are no longer an exception to the rule. In fact, in 2011, there were 1,527,845 single-parent families in Canada, of which 327,545 (21.4 per cent) were headed by men. According to current research, single fathers are generally better educated than single mothers and are better off financially. However, they tend to suffer more psychological distress, as few of them are prepared to raise their children alone, and social recognition is often more difficult to obtain for a father living as a single parent than for a mother. One common problem is that daycare or hospital staff usually ask to talk to the mother first. Men also face some persistent prejudices; an example is the general acceptance of a mother’s need to miss work for a sick child, while a father’s decision to stay home is dimly viewed. In addition, most services for single-parent families are oriented towards mothers. Whether you’re a man or a woman, raising children alone is never easy. But despite all the obstacles, being a single father is an especially rewarding experience that’s made up of the thousand and one little joys of family life.
A
Why Dads Need To Spend Time With Their Kids
s a father, you didn’t get the chance to experience the symbiotic relationship with your child during pregnancy the same way your partner did, but feeling the baby move in the womb certainly created a bond. And this connection can only increase by spending time with the baby after birth, as you change diapers, give the baby a bath and rock her to sleep. But apart from caring for them, there are many other ways you can spend quality time with your children. Many mothers exercise with their toddlers in order to get back in shape — why can’t fathers do the same? You’re not really interested in going for a run with a jogging stroller or taking yoga classes together? You could exercise by using your baby as a weight. And when your children are old enough, you could enjoy some parent-child workshops, or take a karate or swimming class together. Of course, you don’t need to sign up for a class in order to spend quality time together. Take a bike ride, go for a picnic in the park or spend a day at the pool; small shared pleasures are valuable too. If the kids are interested, you could also pass on your own particular passions by teaching them to play the guitar, cook, play sports, etc. Research shows that the father’s presence is just as important as the mother’s. For example, it’s often Dad who helps his children discover the outside world and encourages them to move beyond their comfort zone, thus promoting their independence and initiative. In other words, children and their fathers have nothing to lose and everything to gain from spending time together.
Spending time with your kids doesn’t have to be complicated. What counts most is simply the togetherness.

Black Oak Golf Club: A Dream Come True
T
he story of Black Oak Golf Club began more than 30 years ago, but a lot had to happen before becoming the idyllic vision of golf that it is today. The most compelling part of the story is not the wetlands, the movement of dirt or the dedication of the membership – it is the story of those who brought it to life. You would be hard pressed to find another golf club in the state that has taken more vision, time, energy, and sweat from a core group of dedicated owners. From Joe Hays, who acquired the prop-
erty more than a quarter century ago as a working farm, to his son Pete Hays who led the development of the course, to Pete Rochelle, who built both the course and the exquisite clubhouse that was finally completed in 2015, each owner partner has provided and continues to provide invaluable contributions to the club. Owner, Black Oak Course Architect and PGA legend David Glenz is likely the only golf course architect who is on property day in and day out, years continued on page 45

At its core, Black Oak Golf Club is a local club where local individuals and families gather with golf as the center of activity,” says General Manager and Director of Golf Dan Pasternak. “Certainly this is one of the finest and most beautiful 18-hole championship courses in the state,” he continues, “and it wasn’t that long ago that it was just a dream in the minds of the owners.” In addition to its owners, Pasternak believes that there are several factors that make the club, located in Long Valley, the unique oasis that it has become. One is the relaxed nature of its membership, as opposed to the stuffiness you may find at older traditional clubs. Another is the incredible staff that includes Glenz, a legendary PGA player and instructor, PGA Tour winner and multiple winner of NJPGA major championships. Head Golf Professional Brian Jones is a former NJPGA Teacher of the Year and an expert in the rules of golf. Jones has acted as an
official at The Masters, Ryder Cup and the PGA Championship, and is Vice Chairman of the PGA of America Rules Committee. Pasternak himself is a PGA of America Board Member and award winner. A more accomplished golf staff would be hard to find. 2015 was a transition season for the club that has become the talk of the town. Their long awaited clubhouse opened mid-season to rave reviews from the members. “The dream is finally a reality,” says Pasternak. “Until this year, Black Oak has been a work in progress. The 2016 season will be the first time members and their guests will experience a club with complete amenities – terrific golf, events, parties and first rate culinary experiences.” Some of the best amateur players from across the region choose to play at Black Oak, yet the majority of the membership is made up of local residents, many of whom don’t play golf. For them, it has become the center of their social universe. A range of memberships are available to fit every situation, with families at the heart of the offerings.

Local Farmers’ Markets Ready For 2016 Season
By Jane Primerano or one day every year, Chatham Borough turns from an upscale, sophisticated bastion of Morris County wealth into the epitome of small-town America. The Fishawack Festival, to be held this year on Sat., June 11, from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m., features vendors, notfor-profit groups, children running around in gaudy face paint, folks walking their dogs, everything that makes a tight community. This year, Fishawack coincides with opening day of the Farmers’ Market. The market, starting its 10th season at the railroad station parking lot is run by a volunteer committee and, for the past seven years, a Youth Volunteer League.

According to the borough website, in 2014, volunteers worked more than 2,000 hours keeping the market going. Volunteer John Ball is known for being on site by 5:30 a.m. each Saturday during the season to greet and assist the vendors, according to the website. Community volunteers, including teens, are on site for the duration of the market, which runs from 8 a.m. to 11 a.m. each week. Chatham’s is not the only super-organized farmers market. The Chester Farmers Market, which will run this year on Sundays from June 19 to Oct. 2 is sponsored by the Chester Rotary Club. It is held on Perry Street in the heart of the borough shopping district.
Long-time Rotary member Bill McGuire is in charge. He said 13 of the 2015 vendors will be back in 2016, with a total of 16 vendors. Chester always features music. McGuire said Rotary was still working on confirming the acts. A Grateful Dead cover band often plays, but McGuire said they also look for other performers, “something quieter than a rock band so vendors can communicate with their customers.” An a capella group from West Morris Mendham High School performed a few years ago, he said. The Hopatcong Farmers’ Market will also open Sun., June 19, in the municipal building parking lot. Hopatcong is noted for brightly
colored tote bags and tshirts, music over the municipal public address system and a nice, shady spot for visiting alpacas. Various alpaca farms rotate coming to the market. Councilwoman Marie Galate is in charge and she and other elected officials are always there to help out. They are known for watching customers’ dogs while they shop. The market runs through Oct. 9, from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. Like many markets, Hopatcong welcomes bakers, wood carvers and other local vendors along with farmers. Another Sunday market is in Morristown on Spring Street from 8:30 a.m. to 2 p.m. All of this year’s vendors will be returning and

the town is not accepting any new vendors, according to a spokeswoman at Town Hall. A former mainstay, the Netcong Farmers’ Market will not be open this year.
No one at the borough hall could give an explanation. The market was at the railroad station parking lot and often featured cat adoption days from Netcong Trap, Neuter, Release.
