Layups 4 Life Raises Nearly $4,000
By Jason Cohen oxbury native Dan Exter defeated cancer and is helping others do the same. On April 10, Exter and Roxbury High School hosted
the second annual Layups 4 Life 3-on-3 basketball tournament where it raised $3,900. Forty teams participated and Exter said there were more than 300 people in at-

tendance. In two years of operation, Layups 4 Life has donated more than $20,000 to the Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center. “I am beyond grateful and appreciative to everyone who supports and takes part in Layups 4 Life,” Exter remarked. With deejay Artem Lomaz, also a Roxbury graduate, spinning music, the atmosphere was electric, he said. The team that won the tournament was called Next Basket Wins. Exter noted he may have to look for a larger venue next year. “I am very grateful to all of our hosts, Roxbury High School, our sponsors, donors and participants,” he said. “This event is not possible without them. They believe in what we are doing and support our cause. I look forward to having sponsors returning for next year, to see returning and new teams next year and obviously set the
bar to the next level with our fundraising efforts.” Two of the participants were Josh Ginsberg and Evan Sahr. Ginsberg, 30, of Boston, attended last year and plans to continue going. “To see hundreds of people come together to support such a worthy cause was truly inspiring,” he commented. “We had a blast playing basketball while also giving back to memorial Sloan. I could not be more impressed with Dan’s energy and passion organizing everything.”
Sahr, 29, of New York City, who was Exter’s roommate in college, attended the event for the first time. “Dan did a phenomenal job of making this a day not about him, but about the cause and to raise awareness about rare cancers such like the one he had,” Sahr said. “I will absolutely be a participant for life at this event.” Exter, 29, faced the toughest fight of his life in 2013 when he was diagnosed with acute lymphoblastic leukemia. continued on next page

credits his family and girlfriend Dana Levine with getting him through it. He described the rehabilitation “like hitting the refresh button on life.” “One thing I missed most was not being able to go play basketball when I was recovering,” he said. “To watch it was that much harder. I wasn’t sure if I would ever play again.” Exter expressed his gratitude to the entire Roxbury community and the Interact Club. He told the “Roxbury News” his battle with cancer changed his perspective on life. “If anything, this whole experience has taught me not to sweat the small stuff,” he said.

“Basketball is in my heart and soul,” Exter said. “When I was sick and recovering, I wanted to find a way to give back and raise awareness.” Exter’s journey was scary, but fortunately, his brother, Jason, was a bone marrow match. If not, he might still be waiting on the national bone marrow donor list today. His road to recovery was not an easy one. He was treated at Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center in New York City, and received a treatment plan consisting of full body radiation, chemotherapy and a T-Cell depleted Stem Cell transplant. This took a toll on him physically and emotionally. He

hile many cyclists focus on safety and strictly adhere to the rules of the road, some cyclists engage in behavior that may go against the flow of traffic or is downright dangerous. The League of American Bicyclists reminds riders that whether in a car or on a bike, the rules and rights remain the same. It’s necessary to obey traffic signals and
stop signs. Also, ride with traffic and use the right-most lane headed in the direction you are going. To prevent injuries, make your intentions clear to others by signalling when making a turn. Try to ride in a straight line and avoid swerving in between parked cars. With these practices in mind, everyone can safely share the road and ride responsibly.

Franklin School Wins Contest To Support Developmental Disabilities
ranklin won first place in the We Can – Just Like You bulletin board contest through Arc of New Jersey. This contest was designed to support developmental disabilities month and to raise awareness. Franklin guidance counselor, Gail Steinmetz, first heard about this contest from her principal, Christopher Deery. “He forwarded me the information and thought I may be interested as one of my goals for this year and future years were to begin a special needs awareness program at the school,” Steinmetz explained. “Franklin Elementary School has students with all different disabilities and I felt that
it was important that students learn about them, to teach acceptance. As part of my SGO this year, I selected one fourth grade class that I would begin introducing some information to about special needs.” Steinmetz worked collaboratively with two special education teachers, a general education teacher, and their paraprofessionals to organize the submission. “We incorporated student ideas and work, as well as, included them in the creation of the bulletin board. The main idea behind the contest was to show inclusion of special education students, students with disabilities, and general education students. To show students that they are ALL capa-

ble and that they can all work together to do things without limitations.” The winning bulletin board was featured at the statehouse in Trenton during the week of March 14-18th.
The Arc of New Jersey is the state’s largest organization advocating for and serving citizens with intellectual and developmental disabilities and their families.

Sell Stuff At Annual Roxbury Town-wide Garage Sale
he Roxbury Area Chamber of Commerce has planned its fourth Annual Town-wide Garage Sale for Sat., June 25, from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m., throughout the township. In 2015 this fundraiser, for the Chamber of Commerce, featured more than 120 individual garage sales—attracting hundreds of visitors to the township for a great day of shopping. The chamber’s goal for this year’s event is to attract as many shoppers by encouraging as many garage sales throughout the township as possible. Residents who wish to participate can register their sale electronically via the event website, roxburygaragesale.org. In turn, the sale location will be published within an online directory and interactive map, allowing shoppers to plan their day according to sale
location and items offered. All garage-sellers are encouraged to register. This year there will be no fees, though donations are welcome, no signs and no printed directories/maps to be handed out in order to simplify the event logistics so the Chamber can concentrate on promoting a fun-filled day of bargain hunting. The Township’s Mayor and Council have once again passed a resolution to waive the required yard-sale permit for the day. Live in a condo, an apartment, away on vacation? No problem, a Community Yard Sale at Horseshoe Lake is scheduled for Sat., Sept. 24. Event details will be released in late July for that event. Visit roxburygaragesale.org, for additional information or to register.

Could You Afford To Live To 100?
ere’s an interesting statistic: Over the past three decades, the centenarian population in the United States has grown about 66%, according to the U.S. Census Bureau. Of course, this doesn’t necessarily mean that you have a good chance of living to 100 — but the possibility may not be as remote as it once was. In any case, if you do plan to retire in your mid60s, and you are in good health, you may well have two, or even three, decades ahead of you. To enjoy this time to the fullest - and to help prevent the possibility of outliving your financial resources – you will need to invest for income and growth throughout your retirement years. As a retiree, how much income do you need from your investments? There’s no one “right” percentage for everyone. Furthermore, you shouldn’t have to rely solely on your investment portfolio, because you may have other sources — such as Social Security and potentially your employersponsored retirement plan — from which to draw income. Nonetheless, your investments can play a big role in providing you with the income you’ll need during retirement. Many retirees depend on fixed-rate investments for a good portion of their retirement income — so it’s a real challenge when interest rates are low, as they have been for the past several years. Consequently, when
you retire, you’ll certainly need to be aware of the interestrate environment and the income you can expect from these investments. Longer-term fixed-rate vehicles may be tempting, as they typically offer higher rates than shorterterm ones, but these longerterm investments may have more price fluctuation and inflation risk than shorterterm investments. Ultimately, you’ll likely need a balance between short-, intermediate- and long-term fixed-income investments to provide for a portion of your income in retirement. While it’s important to invest for income, you can’t ignore the need for growth — because you won’t want to lose purchasing power to inflation. As you know, we’ve experienced quite mild inflation recently. But over time, even a low rate of inflation can seriously erode your purchasing power. To illustrate: If your current monthly costs are $3,000, they will be about $4,000 in 10 years with only a 3% annual inflation rate. And in 25 years at that same rate, your monthly costs will have more than doubled, to about $6,200. To help protect yourself against inflation risk, you should consider having at least some investments that offer growth potential, rather than only owning fixed-income vehicles. And some investment vehicles, such as dividend-paying stocks, can offer both growth and potential and current income. In fact, some

stocks have paid and even increased, their dividends for many years in a row, giving you not just income, but rising income. (Keep in mind, though, that companies are not obligated to pay dividends, and can reduce or discontinue them at any time.) To determine the right mix of growth and income vehicles for your individual needs, consult with a financial advisor who is familiar with your retirement plans, your risk tolerance and your family situation. And it may well be a good idea to plan for a very long retirement. You may not live to be 100 — but it would be a good feeling to know that you could afford to do so.

Two Local Dentists Held Free Dental Seminar
rs. Goldberg & Upadya are extremely passionate about what they do, which is deliver exceptional dental care to their communities. In fact, they enjoy it so much that they recently held two free seminars to help educate anyone who wanted to listen regarding dental implants and why teeth really break. “Although a tooth might fracture from biting something hard, what people don’t realize is that imbalances in your bite can cause fractures, too,� said Upadya. “Think about a car tire that is a little out of balance. Not only can it cause that tire to wear faster, but it can cause the other tires to wear, too. Teeth are similar to that.� Goldberg said, “Unfortunately, when teeth fracture the next step might be its removal and replacement by an implant. The audiences had great questions about not only single tooth implants, but also multiple implants and even full jaw replacement. We had a number of questions regarding All-On-Four.� Both doctors were in agreement that
they see a number of patients who come to their offices not even aware of the many options that are available to them. Esthetic Dental Care and Morris County Dental Associates wanted to reach out to the community and offer educational information by hosting these free seminars. Topics covered by Goldberg also included denture stabilization, mini-implants, bone grafting, fees and insurance, as well as financing options. Upadya discussed how early treatment of small problems can save a mouth full of dentistry, why teeth are sensitive, and why some root canals, bridges, braces, and implants don’t work. Both doctors are graduates of the entire curriculum of the prestigious Dawson Academy. Upadya continued to become a senior faculty member of the Academy, and Goldberg has advanced to become one of the areas leading implant experts. Their passion for exceptional dentistry is why they work so well together, bringing longlasting esthetics and function to their family of patients. Reach out to them for a private
one-on-one consultation. They can be reached at Esthetic Dental Care in Florham Park at 973-241-5169 or www. Esthetic-

Did You Know?
abor costs can account for a substantial amount of the cost of a home improvement project. Estimates regarding the average labor costs of such projects range from 25 to 60 percent. Such a wide range can make it hard for homeowners to determine their budgets, and high labor costs may compel some homeowners to tackle projects on their own. While DIY projects can be rewarding and cost-effective, the potential for costly mistakes is considerable, especially for homeowners with little or no DIY experience. Labor costs should be included in contractors’ estimates, but homeowners can ask around to get an

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
Perry Street is closed for the Chester Farmers’ Market. Photo by Jane Primerano.
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.

Did You Know?
abor costs can account for a substantial amount of the cost of a home improvement project. Estimates regarding the average labor costs of such projects range from 25 to 60 percent. Such a wide range can make it hard for homeowners to determine their budgets, and high labor costs may compel some homeowners to tackle projects on their own. While DIY projects can be rewarding and cost-effective, the potential for costly mistakes is considerable, especially for homeowners with little or no DIY experience. Labor costs should be included in contractors’ estimates, but homeowners can ask around to
get an idea of how much they will spend on labor when hiring professional contractors. Various factors, such as geographic location and the level of customization a project requires, influence labor costs. Homeowners can expect to pay a lot for labor on projects that require considerable customization. Though that can be a tough pill to swallow, complex projects may stretch if not exceed homeowners’ own abilities, making the cost of customized labor well worth it. Solicit estimates from numerous contractors before making your final decision, recognizing that the least expensive estimate is not necessarily the best option.

M
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 28

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 26 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.

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 cafĂŠ 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,â€? says Ramos. “We have women who are artistic. They can make dolls and pictures, handmade clothes and ceramics.â€? One of her houses is for older women and “they owned businesses,â€? she says. “We want to be economically independent rather than dependent,â€? she adds. “The women can become economically sufficient.â€? Ramos’ experience in working 15 years as a waitress in a jazz place, Mikell’s in NY, can now come into play if her plans carry to fruition. For those who would like to help by either continuing to donate furniture, as well as money to offset the mortgage, or who has an idea for a better and yet more affordable store location, call Ramos at 973-831-6156.

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

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.

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

Roxbury Senior Group Thanks Roxbury’s NHS
ecently the Roxbury Senior Citizen’s Group President Carol Loff stopped by Roxbury High School to thank the National Honor Society for its generosity towards their members for this past holiday season’s Adopt-A-Family program. Loff shared with more than 100 students personal thank you notes from 11 of the 12 recipients of the care packages. The one recipient, who unfortunately never got to say ‘thank you,’ passed away shortly after receiving her gift from the students. RHS has participated in an Adopt-A-Family program for almost ten years. This event was first started with the school’s social studies department during the holidays. A number of years ago, the high school facilitator, Roxanne Dome, invited the NHS to get involved in donating gifts to local families in need. In the last two years, this program has shifted to donating to senior citizens who live in town or who are a part of the Roxbury Senior groups. Each of the 148 members of the high school’s NHS donates $10 to this event. Loff provides a “wish list” to the NHS Executive Board at the school for a handful of senior citizens who are selected to receive the care package. The money collected is divided up
so that each senior receives the same amount. The Executive Board members take the money and go shopping for the seniors. Money is always kept aside for a ShopRite and Wal-Mart gift card for each senior. At the December NHS meeting, the students divided into groups and wrapped the presents for their senior as well as made cards for them. The gifts were then brought to Horseshoe Lake to be distributed to the selected seniors. Loff brought back one of the gift bags to show the students and said, “These gifts are always so generous and our members are truly thankful to be thought of during the holiday season, many of which don’t have any family left or nearby. When these bags come over, they are filled to the brim with items and many times the seniors end up having to drag them out because they are so full!” The NHS is a community service organization for students that have demonstrated their ongoing commitment during their high school careers to uphold the four pillars that make up the NHS which are scholarship, service, character, and leadership.

EMS Student Honored At Leadership Dinner
raduating middle schoolers from Morris County were recently honored at the annual Morris County Superintendent’s Middle School Leadership Award Dinner. Students were selected whose actions and deeds represent a model of citizenship and leadership in their respective communities. The 2016 recipient from Eisenhower Middle School was eighth grader Allison Fleming. Allison was selected for her academics, community involvement and participation in group activities where she has had a positive impact on her school environment and where she serves as a role model for others. Eisenhower Middle School Principal Dominick Miller said this of this year’s recipient, “Allyson Fleming represents everything that you want in a middle school student. She is a conscientious and diligent student. She is constantly on the honor roll and is a go to student for her teachers. Ally serves as a positive role model for all the students at EMS. She is willing to lend a helping hand or a listening ear. We are very proud of the way that
Allyson has represented EMS in a variety of capacities over the past two years. I feel confident in saying that the students and faculty of EMS are proud of Allyson’s achievement.” Allison is involved with numerous extracurricular activities and sports at Eisenhower Middle School. She participates in the ski club and peer leaders. She also runs cross country, plays basketball, and runs track through the school. In addition to her school activities, she has been a part of the Roxbury Soccer Club’s traveling team, St. Therese’s CYO Basketball team, and the Roxbury girls’ lacrosse team. Allison has excelled academically as well by achieving high honor roll and honor roll. She also received Student of the Month twice in sixth grade. Outside of school, Allison has participated in community service projects near and dear to her heart. Each year she participates in the M.S. Walk that raises awareness and money for multiple sclerosis research. She has participated in the “Light the Night” walk, which

“Civil War Weekend,� a unique two-day event sponsored by the Second New Jersey Brigade and the Morris County Park Commission, presents the lives of Civil War soldiers more vividly than textbooks. From 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. on Sat., June 11, and 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. on Sun., June 12, reenactors will lead activities throughout Historic Speedwell’s eight-acre site in Morristown. At the soldier’s camp daily life is recreated with authentic cooking, dress and setup. Learn the basics of battlefield medicine. Visit the medical area where re-enactors care for the ‘wounded’ and demonstrate how these emergency units ran during battles. A Civil War-era Signal Corps group authentically demonstrates how important messages were sent between units using colorful flags to send signals. Witness a demonstration of a recreated Civil War telegraph station. “The telegraph played an essential role throughout the Civil War. Traveling tele-
graph wagons followed the troops into the field and relayed important messages. It has been stated that more than 15,000 miles of military telegraph lines were constructed during the Civil War,� said Mark Sutherland, manager of Historic Sites for the Morris County Park Commission. “The technological innovation of the telegraph changed the way wars were fought, and also the way people lived,� Sutherland continued. Historic Speedwell is the ‘Birthplace of the Telegraph.’ Take a tour of The Factory Building, a National Historic Landmark, where Samuel F.B. Morse and Alfred Vail worked to perfect the telegraph and where it was first publicly demonstrated in 1838. Admission to ‘Civil War Weekend’ is $7 for adults, $6 per senior, $5 per child age four to 16, and free for children under age four. Light picnic fare is available for purchase. For more information and directions to Historic Speedwell in Morristown, visit morrisparks.net or call 973-285-6550.

F
Raised In the Business, Siblings Offer Best Perks At Berk’s Furniture
By Cheryl Conway or those who don’t know, there is a furniture store in the near vicinity that not only provides quality but affordability. With roots that date back to 1943, Berk’s Furniture & Mattress in Hackettstown provides the best in brand name furniture all at a discounted price. With 22,000 square feet of space, the store features “a huge mattress department,” as well as a brand new reclining gallery. Why travel east, to other parts of New Jersey, or to other states’ furniture stores if a local business can provide the same product, provide quicker delivery and all for a lower price? “I truly believe shopping local is important,” says Amy Berkowitz of Green Twp., co-owner of Berk’s Furniture & Mattress along with her brother and business partner, Justin Berkowitz of Andover. “Everyone we employ is local. It goes back straight into the community. You don’t have to travel to get the same deals; they’re right here in your backyard.” Shopping at Berk’s has its perks. “We are your local discount furniture store,” says Berkowitz. “We have the same thing at better pricing; 100 percent satisfaction is our goal.” Formerly called HTP Clearance and Consignment in business for the past four years, the Berk’s changed its store name to Berk’s Furniture & Mattress and rebranded itself a year ago, says Berkowitz. Before it’s rebranding, the store focused mostly on consignment furniture. Now, it specializes in all brand name furniture, mattresses, recliners and even a “big area rug department,” for a great value. Berkowitz says “We carry everything for immediate delivery, all brand name, at discount prices.” Pieces to fill in any living room, dining room and bedroom, reclining as well, are on display at Berk’s. It specializes in “top of the line mattresses made by one of the top five biggest companies in the world, Bedding Industries of America, “all made in NJ, made to order” for sale at “a fraction of the price.” A main company they get their merchandise from is Southern Motion. “We’re constantly growing,” says
Berkowitz, adding that they plan to expand the list of manufacturers they currently work with. Some other names they currently order from are Jofran, Vaughan-Bassett, Hooker, Ashley. “Berk’s is all about value,” says Berkowitz. “That’s all we do is discount. Customers who shop at Berk’s Furniture & Mattress value the in-house delivery available six days a week from delivery guys who are courteous, polite and on-time. With a warehouse attached, and another warehouse right in Pennsylvania, Berkowitz says “all furniture takes a week to come in.” “We are growing and changing,” says Berkowitz. It just added 6,000 sq. feet to the showroom floor two months ago to display its new reclining department. Berk’s carries all American-made recliners, all hardwood frame, padding, memory foam seats in the cushion. The store even offers Lift Chairs for senior citizens. Sold for $499, the chair features power recline and power lift which raises an individual from sitting to standing. Like an antique piece of furniture that needs to be reupholstered rather than thrown out, Berk’s Furniture & Mattress has a decorative history that dates back almost 75 years. Their grandfather, Joseph Berkowitz of Washington, owned a farm then opened up his first retail store, The Trading Post, on Route 57 from 1943 to 1965. A Burger King now owns that store space. A second location opened in 1963, called the County Trading Post, and that was located on Main Street in Hackettstown. That store changed its name to the Hackettstown Trading Post in 1988 and was owned by Joel Berkowitz, son of Joseph and father of Amy and Justin Berkowitz. Joel Berkowitz retired after 53 years and that store is currently vacant, says Berkowitz. Through the years, the family business evolved from a hardware store with “knick knacks” in the 1940’s, to appliances, carpeting, stereos and electronics. Then in 1990, it began to sell recliners at the Hackettstown Trading Post, “then became a full-fledged furniture store.” Amy and Justin were employees of the
Hackettstown Trading Post, working there for 15 years before and after college. “Our whole lives, we worked on and off there,” says Berkowitz. “Justin started on delivery trucks when he was a freshman. I cleaned the appliances; we did the sidewalk sales. We grew up in the business,” and eventually found their way back to start their own company in 2011. Four years apart in age, they both attended Pope John High School. Amy attended University of Georgia, receiving her degree in marketing and communication, and then volunteered in Africa. Justin attended Rutgers University, received a master’s degree in environmental economics before returning to the furniture business. Like a comfortable piece of furniture, sometimes it’s just too hard to get up and walk away.
“I truly, truly love this business,” says Berkowitz, who spends most of her time on the sales floor. “I enjoy dealing with customers, meeting new people. I love furniture; I like the trends. I like pleasing the customer,” like getting them the furniture “immediately.” From the buying, to the floor planning, helping customers to delivery- Berkowitz says “I like being busy and doing different things every day. Located on Mountain Ave., next to the Paintpourri, before Route 57, “We are there every single day and looking forward to meeting new customers.” Store hours are 10 a.m. to 7 p.m., Mon.Sat.; 11 a.m. to 5 p.m., Sun. Specials through Memorial Day include 48 months interest free on any purchases and the company will pay the customer’s sales tax.

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.

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?
