more point guard Reagan Russo from a 2017-2018 squad that finished with 10 wins.

“Reagan Russo is our only returning starter,’’ Pequannock head coach Jennifer Baggot said. “Alessandra D’Alessio will be a major impact player. She is a junior and Alessandra is a forward. We have zero seniors and only two juniors in the program continued on page 7

The Pequannock Township Public Library Presents its FREE Learning Lecture Series for Adults!

s an adult, do you miss going to school and learning new things?

The Pequannock Library has a solution for you—it’s our newly designed Learning Lecture Series. It’s like adult school, but without the fee. Attend one or two or all of the lectures offered.

These classes are offered this semester: Thurs., Jan 31 at 7:00 p.m.

Youth activism, arts and human rights in the Middle East and beyond.

This talk discusses the role of youth collective action and art to fuel human rights in the Middle East and North Africa (MENA) region. In 2011, a wave of revolutionary upheavals shook the MENA when young protesters demanded political change, but many regimes across the region cracked down on the so called Arab Spring. Despite the consolidation of autocratic rule, youth who mobilized and drew from different forms of art to promote

democratic ideals, constitute a watershed moment in the historical context of the region. In his lecture, Dr. Kurze maps their actions, highlighting various forms of performance art and street art. He also weighs their impact on the legacy of democracy promotion in different countries.

Bio: Dr. Arnaud Kurze is Assistant Professor of Justice Studies at Montclair State University. His scholarly work on transitional justice in the post-Arab Spring world focuses particularly on youth activism, art and collective memory. He is the co-editor of the forthcoming book New Critical Spaces in Transitional Justice: Gender, Art and Memory published by Indiana University Press.

Thurs., Feb., 14 at 7p.m. - Bad Boy, Repentant Sinner, or Doomed Poet?

This talk discusses the “bad boy” poet Paul Verlaine and his cultivation of “doomed poet” through photographs. Al-

though he was known as “the Master” to his friends and admirers by the time of his death in 1896, French poet Paul Verlaine endured a rocky relationship with the public during his life. Verlaine’s literary reputation declined in his final years—in part because of his scandalous behavior—even as he was identified as a major influence on the burgeoning symbolist movement. Verlaine was also one of the models for the Decadent movement that began in the 1870s.

Elizabeth Emery, professor of French, received a PhD from New York University.

Her research interests include: medieval and 19th-century French literature and cultural studies; the reception of medieval art, architecture and literature in nineteenth and 20th-century Europe and America; early photojournalism, celebrity interviews, European and American continued on page 4

National Get Organized & Productive (GO) Month

anuary is Get Organized & Be Productive (GO) Month. Professional Organizer Linda Anders of National Association of Productivity & Organizing Professionals (NAPO) plans to participate in the national public awareness initiative by presenting Conquer Clutter at The Riverdale Public Library on January 30th at 7:00 pm.

The program will help attendees start the year off right by teaching tips to not only help eliminate their paper piles but to teach them how to set up a file system where they can find the important papers they need in less than 2 minutes instead of 2 hours of searching! Studies show an average loss of 1-2 hours per day searching for missing

items in messy files, closets and stacks. Anders says “just think of all the fun things you can do with 2 hours instead of looking for a paper!”

During this hour long presentation Anders will often mention how much the library can help people get organized. Besides Anders motivating organized programs on Travel, Weight Loss, Clothing, Student, Holiday Entertaining there are not only books on organizing but data bases, lots of data bases all FREE with your library card! A common reason people keep papers is called FMO-fear of missing out. Fear of missing out on information and often events that people hold on to this kind of paperwork. That’s where learning about the library resources

and data bases come in. Patrons can access just about any newspaper or periodical article on the library data bases, even local news. The data bases have information on health, jobs and careers, and loads of information for businesses as well as education, military information. “Personally this has not only helped my clients but it has helped me” said Anders a confirmed information junky herself! By sharing proven organizing and productivity techniques and principles Anders helps people save time, save money and reduce stress providing clients

with more time to enjoy worklife and home-life more. Paper piles effect everyone and that is why we are kicking the year off with Conquer Clutter program that focuses on eliminating paper piles. In addition Linda Anders, owner of COC Enterprises, will be giving time management tips.

Please register for this FREE event by calling The Riverdale Library at 973-835-5044 or visit the library website at www.riverdalelibrary.org. If you can’t make this program then check out Linda’s website at WWW.LindaAnders.com to see dates of future programs.

continued from front page this year. We currently do not have any captains. However, we hope to see leadership shine through.’’

Pequannock has a home game scheduled versus Villa Walsh on January 15.

“This season, we hope to build experience and confidence,’’ Baggot said. “We also hope to earn respect within our new Conference. This is a rebuilding year for our team.

We graduated nine seniors last year and only have two upperclassmen.’’

Pequannock Boy’s Basketball: Among the key returning players from a Golden Panther team that finished with a record of 16-9 last year areSean Glynn (forward, senior), Tom Hardie (center, senior), Giovanni Rubino (guard, se-

nior), Mathew Spatucci (forward, senior), Gary Thompson (guard, senior), Mike Luttenberger (forward, senior) and Harris Bjraktarevic (forward, senior).

Among the newcomers looking to be of positive impact on the varsity roster are Derick Thompson (guard, senior) and Charlie Baldissard (forward, junior).

“Matt Spatucci [is looked upon as a leader],’’ Pequannock head coach Jeff DeBell said. “I hope he leads by example with his hard play.’’

Pequannock was scheduled to host Morris Knolls contest on January 15.

“We would like to be competitive in our new Conference and qualify for the (NJSIAA) State Tournament,’’ DeBell

said.

Pequannock Wrestling: The Golden Panthers returning a solid core of wrestlers from a team that finished with 11 wins during 20172018 including Jason Burklow (senior, 220 pounds), Jimmy Pierson (senior, 170 pounds), Tommy Goodwin (junior, 195 pounds), Jack Bauer (junior, 160 pounds), Alex Gallipoli (junior, 145 pounds) and Dom Terry (junior).

Newcomers looking to be of positive influence in the varsity lineup include Julian Garcia (freshman, 106 pounds), Nick Torsiello (freshman, 106 pounds) and Timmy

Greff (freshman, 113 pounds).

“We are a very young team led by two seniors who show great leadership in and out of the room - Jason Burklow and Jimmy Pierson,’’ Pequannock head coach Jay LaPaglia said. “The Panthers did a lot of work during the off season such as 6 a.m. lifts, open mats, the Rutgers Wrestling Camp and attended the Hopatcong Duals which we haven’t been to in quite some years. We see ourselves in the middle of the pack (in their Division) and by mid season to be contenders.’’

The Golden Panthers were scheduled to host Hanover Park on January 16.

weethearts who want to keep their relationships running strong know that Valentine’s Day is celebrated each year on February 14. But even the most ardent Valentine’s Day enthusiast might not know just why this day designed for lovers to express their affections for one another is celebrated in mid-February. According to the Library of Congress, it’s hard to pinpoint exactly why Valentine’s Day is celebrated on February 14, though the date might have ties to the ancient Roman celebration of Lupercalia. Lupercalia was a spring festival celebrated each year on February

15. The holiday was moved to February 14 after the spread of Christianity. The Christian faith had several early martyrs named Valentine, and each of them were celebrated with a saint day on February 14. But the unique history of Valentine’s Day and its association with February 14 as well as its romantic sentiments does not end there. The Library of Congress also notes that, in the Middle Ages, people believed birds selected their mates on February 14. As a result, it was not uncommon for lovers to recite prose to one another on this date.

Boys and Girls Clubs of Northwest Serves Wayne, Pequannock and Beyond

Two of our after school members utilizing our newly renovated Kitchen and learning healthy habits.

W

By Steve Sears hen it comes to a Boys and Girls club, one thing is certain.

You know what it strives to do is provide something positive for the youths in the town it serves and extend that provision to the rest of the respective community as well.

That’s indeed what the Boys & Girls Club of Northwest New Jersey is all about. The Wayne location is at 153 Garside Avenue, and the Pequannock location at 19 Oak Avenue. The former began in 1970, the latter in 1993. The Pequannock group chartered with BGCA as Boys & Girls Club of Morris County, and in 2005 the Wayne and Morris County Clubs entered a management agreement, eventually merging to form the Boys & Girls Clubs of Northwest New Jersey in September 2006.

Joe Lynch is Chief Executive Officer (CEO) of the Boys & Girls Clubs of Northwest New Jersey.

“We serve children from many neighboring towns. Specifically, we offer after school programs in Prospect Park, Pompton

Lakes, Wanaque, Haskell and we bus kids from Lincoln Park to Pequannock,” he says. His CEO chores keep him busy. “I have had the fortune to serve in my current role since 1996 and began my career in Wayne as the Athletic Director in 1992. We have a small but energetic and highly qualified full-time staff of 20 professionals that help lead the charge in serving over 5200 children across Northwest New Jersey. I also report to a Board of Directors comprised of leaders in our communities that give of their time to help set the policies and ensure the financial well-being of the organization.”

One change that has happened since 1970 is the mission statement, which was altered in 2006 to mirror that of the national organization which is “To enable all young people, especially those who need us most, to reach their full potential as productive, caring, and responsible citizens.”

The Wayne Club house has a variety of educational and athletic options for its members. continued on page 14

Surprising Facts About Fleas and Ticks

leas and ticks rely on blood for food. They are the vampires of the pet realm, silently stalking companion animals wherever they go. Once fleas and ticks find a victim, they are bound to stay around for a while, enjoying the free meal.

Fleas, in particular, can grow quite fond of a cat or dog - reproducing and quickly building an infestation. Few people are enamored with fleas and ticks, but learning a little more about them can help pet owners understand their behaviors and how to best keep their pets safe.

Fleas Fleas have four life stages: egg, larva, pupa, and biting

adult. Most people are familiar with the adult stage because those are the most noticeable and painful. Fleas can feed on just about any blood host.

Scientists know of more than 2,000 species and subspecies of fleas. However, in North America, the cat flea (ctenocephalides felis) is responsible

for the majority of cat and dog infestations.

Female fleas are typically larger than the males and are responsible for proliferating the flea brood. Females can consume up to 15 times their body weight in blood every day. This helps to fuel egg-laying, which can take place within 36 to 48 hours of the female’s first meal.

In her lifetime, a female flea can lay roughly 2,000 eggs.

Fleas are wingless parasites that get around by jumping from host to host. If they don’t have to expend too much energy (i.e. get comfortable on a host), they can go anywhere continued on page 11

Fleas and Ticks... continued from page 10 from between two months and 100 days without a meal. Fleas can jump up to eight inches high, enabling them to grab onto a passing meal source.

A typical flea can live for a few months, and fleas can carry a number of different diseases. From plague to cat scratch fever to tapeworms, fleas can make pets ill and also affect people who interact with them.

Ticks Ticks are not insects; they are arachnids. That means they are more closely related to spiders and scorpions. The stages of the tick include the egg, larva, nymph, and adult. Depending on the species, nymph ticks can be quite small to the naked eye. Ticks’ small stature can make them difficult to detect until they have become engorged with blood.

The University of Rhode Island’s Center for Vector-Borne Disease and its TickEncounter Resource Center say that spring is a prime time for the birth of new ticks. During this time of year, ticks are on the hunt for their next meals.

Ticks can be carriers of a number of diseases, but it’s important to note that a tick has to be attached for longer than 24 hours to transmit diseases to a host. That means checking animals (and yourself) for ticks frequently can help avoid the spread of illness. Ticks don’t jump or fall from trees.

The parasites crawl upward, so start looking from the feet, moving up. In addition, check a dog’s face, where a tick may latch on while the dog is sniffing in the grass.

Ticks and fleas are pesky critters that can carry disease.

STOP the PAIN

Consult with your veterinarian if you suspect your dog has a tick or flea problem to get the situation under control. Preventative collars and medications can help repel fleas and ticks as well.

Taking a Home Office Deduction A Great Tax Reduction Idea, If Done Right!

C

loud-based applications, extensive communication channels, and other new technologies make it easier to run your business out of your home. If you qualify, many home business expenses are deductible. Think you might qualify? You must first pass these tests.

1. Trade or business use test. To qualify for business use of your home you must use part of your home for a qualified trade or business.

This profit seeking activity must not be a hobby in the eyes of the IRS. 2. Exclusive use test. You must use part of your home exclusively for your business activity. Blending personal use within the same space as your business activity can disallow the business use of home deductions, however, there does not need to be a permanent barrier between this space and the rest of the house.

3. Regular use test. In addition to having a qualified business activity in an exclusive area of your home, you must also use it “regularly” for your business activity. The IRS

applies judgment in this area to determine the facts and circumstances around what it deems to be regular use.

4. Principal place of business test. To deduct your home office expenses, the home location must also be your principal place of business. That does not mean there cannot be other business locations, just that your home office must be your primary location. You might also have multiple business activities. In this case, you could meet the test for one of your businesses to qualify to take the deductions.

With multiple locations, the considering factors are: • The relative importance of the activities performed at each location • The amount of time spent at each location • The primary place used exclusively and regularly for administrative or management activities • Whether there are other fixed locations for business use Types of deductible expenses This chart from the IRS gives some direction on the

types of expenses that are deductible. As always, proper substantiation is required to take the deduction, so keep all receipts and statements in an organized fashion. (See Chart) Sound confusing? Perhaps.

If the additional work of tracking specific expenses is too much to handle, a simplified home office deduction calculation is also available to small businesses to lower their tax bill. Please call should you need help in navigating this part of the tax code.

3 Steps to a Healthier You

S

tarting a diet or diving headfirst into a workout plan may be the first steps to enhancing your personal health, but once you’ve started down the path to better fitness and nutrition, it’s important to find ways to stay on track.

Instead of burning yourself out on a diet that’s too stringent or workouts that are too intense, moderate your healthy lifestyle and use simple tricks to avoid falling into bad habits. Consider these tips from celebrity trainer and food coach Valerie Waters, author of “Red Carpet Ready,” to help ensure you stick to your plan.

Bank your fitness. Interruptions in life happen frequently. Travel, for example, whether for business or pleasure, can disrupt workouts and access to nutritious food. To allow a little room for a missed workout or a special meal, put some fitness in the bank by tightening your diet a

couple weeks ahead of your trip. You can also put some extra effort into workouts by adding intervals, additional weight or

simply going a little longer.

Strategy trumps willpower. While willcontinued on page 17

Eat simply. Eating foods as close to their natural state as possible can help you avoid consuming excess sugar and fat. Plus, by incorporating more natural foods and snacks into your routine, you’re less likely to eat items loaded with preservatives or ingredients you may not even recognize. Focus on lean protein, fruit, veggies and nuts available in recipes like this Farro and Fig Salad with Arugula and Feta.

Another key component of the club’s offerings is Teen Character youth group for 1418 year old members called the Keystone Club, which has 4 elements: academic success, career preparation, community service and teen recruitment.

“Year round,” says Dipsey, “our Keystone Club teens run/host events in each of the areas listed above.” He also adds that the Keystone Club helps out in township hosted events, like the annual Turkey Race event, Easter Egg hunt, and the Junior Olympics, and help out whenever called upon. “The Parks and Recreation Department have been amazing with their ability to keep our teens busy and on

the right path!”

With an eye towards the future, Lynch explains past changes and improvements, and what’s in the planning.

“We have made many improvements to our facilities over the years. In 1998 we added a 10,000 square foot gym in Wayne due to a large increase in enrollment. In 2008 we added a four-classroom day care in Wayne which serves nearly 80 children between the ages of 6 weeks to 4 years old. We added a teaching kitchen in Wayne in 2017 while also adding a $40,000 playground in Pequannock. We also removed the old Pequannock school this past spring. This is just the beginning phase to what we hope will be a newly renovated clubhouse there with a new gym and educational space for the commucontinued on page 22
