Wayne Police Catch Kids Doing The Right Thing

By Anya Bochman hen Farri Cress of Wayne thinks about her childhood in England, she inevitably remembers the “bobbies” – English police officers – coming to her kindergarten class to talk

to the children and explain their role in the community, as well as give out ice cream. “Kids are very impressionable at that age, four to five years old,” Cress says, as she relates an anecdote of a murder of a local po-

liceman that summoned thousands of volunteers to help, and showcased the community’s devotion to its police force. Cress owns Pristine Auto Spa & Service Center in Wayne, a business she purchased with her son six months ago. She said that America could do more to “bridge the gap” between the police and the general public, creating a generation of youngsters who view cops “as friends rather than disciplinarians.” “I’ve heard parents threaten [misbehaving] kids with calling the police,” Cress says, “Like it’s something to fear.” To combat what she perceived to be negative attitudes towards law enforcement, Cress and Wayne Police Department Officer Joseph Rooney discussed possible solutions and came up with the Catching Kids Doing the Right Thing initiative, a campaign that serves to reward children seen acting positively in the community with a delicious childhood staple – ice cream. “Catching kids is a positive play on the idea of catching thieves,” Cress explains. The program works simply – Cress purchased 200 gift cards to Carvel, with the ice cream ven-

dor’s name appearing on the front of the card and the campaign name, Wayne Police logo and donation information by Pristine Auto Spa on the back. When a youngster is spotted doing the “right thing” – which can range from wearing a helmet while riding a bike to helping an elderly person cross the street – a police officer participating in the program can reward them with a $2 gift card to Carvel. Since the program’s inception about a month ago, a number of local businesses have joined, donating cards and offering their services – something that comes in handy for children whose families do not live near a Carvel. And despite the growing number of establishments coming on board – such as Wetzel’s Pretzels and Primo Pizza – Cress stresses the need to focus on Wayne and its community. Cress, who came to America in 1989 and whose children attended middle school and high school in Wayne, says there is no negative message in the initiative – for instance, that children will learn to perform good deeds only if there is a potential reward. “There is no harm in someone getting recognition for doing good,” she

says. “And the kids don’t expect it, they are picked randomly – there are only so many cards per zone, it’s not like everyone can get one.” Lieutenant Christian Wittig, who spearheads the program at the Wayne Police Department, agrees. “Positive reinforcement is beneficial – and it could be contagious,” Wittig states. “It can have a peer pressure result – but positive peer pressure.” Although the program is still too new to see any quantifiable results, Wittig notes that he’s observed positive reactions from parents of youngsters. However, he also stresses that Wayne police’s relationship with the community has always been a positive one, and the township’s regard

for its officers has been “nothing but supportive.” Like Cress, he acknowledges the importance of interacting with children at a young age, noting that the children who have been approached so far were mostly curious, and maybe a little surprised. Still, Wittig recognizes that some juveniles may feel apprehensive about talking to the police, something the program is seeking to change. “We want them to know that we’re out there for them,” he says. As the program continues to grow, more local businesses are interested in participating. Those seeking to get involved or donate to the program can do so by contacting Pristine Auto Spa in Wayne.

Happy 170th Birthday To Wayne Township

By Maryanne Christiano-Mistretta his year Wayne Township celebrates its 170th birthday. While a big milestone indeed, residents will have to wait another five years for a planned celebration when the town rings in 175 years, according to Carol D’Alessandro, Wayne Historical House Museum coordinator. “Wayne has a rich history and a bright future,” said D’Alessandro. Home to Willowbrook Mall, Wayne Town Center, High Mountain Park Preserve, and William Paterson University, Wayne was formed as a township by an act of the New Jersey Legislatures on April 12, 1847, from portions of Manches-

ter Township. The Passaic County town is less than 20 miles from Midtown Manhattan. As of 2014, its population is 55,049. “It has grown,” said D’Alessandro. “It’s changed its character as well. It was a farming community. We’re no longer agricultural.” Wayne’s history began back in 1694 when Arent Schuyler, a young surveyor, minor, and land speculator was sent to northwestern New Jersey to investigate rumors that the French were trying to incite the local Lenni-Lenape Native Americans to rebel against the English. While he found no evidence of dissident, he found that the Lenni-Lenape were growing a variety of crops

in a rich fertile valley. He reported back his findings and convinced seven men to invest in the purchase of the land. The investors chose Schuyler to be the negotiator with Lenape for the rights to the area. Samuel Bayard purchased 5,000 acres on Nov. 11, 1695. It was then known as New Barbadoes Township in Bergen County. In 1710, the area became part of Saddle River Township in Bergen County. By 1837 the residents of Wayne found themselves in Manchester Township in the newly formed Passaic County. Finally, on April 12, 1847, the first Wayne Township organization meeting was held at the Henry Ca-

sey House on the Paterson-Hamburg Turnpike. The town was named after Anthony Wayne, who was an American Revolutionary War General. Wayne was basically a farming community throughout the 18th and 19th centuries. The Morris Canal ran throughout the southwestern portion of Wayne, carrying produce to market, and coal from Pennsylvania. By the end of the 19th century railroad replaced the canal. In the early 20th century, wealthy New Yorkers enjoyed vacationing in Wayne. They lived in summer bungalows and swam

in the rivers. After World War II, the summer bungalows became year-round residences to accommodate factory workers. Then farmland was converted to residential living. “Things just keep moving forward,” said D’Alessandro. “It’s good to have roots. Wayne has everything from agricultural to industrial.” Wayne is easily accessible through modern highways, including NJ Route 23, U.S. Route 46 and Interstate 80. Wayne is the home to corporate headquarters of Toys “R” Us and Valley National Bank.

Wayne is the home of the 1970 Little League World Series Champions. Notable people who were born in or residents of include: hip hop artist Darryl McDaniels of Run DMC; actor Tom Cruise; and singer and actress Queen Latifah. Sources for this article were provided by the Township of Wayne’s website. For more information on the Township of Wayne, visit: http://www.waynetownship.com/. Mayor Christopher P. Vergano’s office was contacted several times for this article, but there was no response back to comment.

By Anastasia Marchese his year marks a decade of service for the nonprofit, “Push to Walk.” For ten years the organization has been helping people with spinal cord injuries reach beyond their diagnosis to become more independent and strong, both physically and mentally. The past year has brought some big changes to the nonprofit as they recently relocated and also hired a new Executive Director David Font. In 2007, “Push to Walk” (PTW) first opened in Bloomingdale; 18 months later they already needed to expand to meet their growing client base and relocated to a larger facility in Riverdale. Then just last year they once again moved to an even larger facility to

be better able to serve their clients. According to their website, “Since 2007, Push to Walk has served more than 370 families and 176 clients, all motivated to work to enhance their quality of life.” Often insurance companies will only cover a predetermined amount of physical therapy sessions a year, or will choose to stop paying for treatment if it seems the patient’s progress has reached medical expectations. PTW thinks beyond predetermined expectations to what can be possible. Its motto is “Redefining possibilities for the spinal cord injury and paralysis community,” and it really speaks to its mission to support and encourage those with paralysis and help them to become

their fullest selves and not to let them be defined by their condition. Cynthia Templeton founded PTW with her son Darren after he had suffered an injury to his spinal cord back in 2004. During his treatment and recovery process Darren had found that he benefited greatly from a gym based one-onone personal training program located in California. Participating in that program gave them the idea to start a similar one in NJ. Last year Templeton chose to move out of the director position in favor of her new role. Font has now been with PTW for the past seventh months and is pleased to be organizing the 10th anniversary events taking place throughout 2017. Every month of 2017

PTW has hosted an Open House where the public can come in and see their facility and clients at work. The June Open House is set to be held on June 22 between 11 a.m. and 1 p.m. People can call ahead and sign up for a tour or just come over

during those hours. Other events and fundraisers coming up this year are also listed on their website. According to Font, “Once their benefits run out and if they wouldn’t benefit from a traditional gym or can’t participate in a tradi-

tional gym,” many clients find their way to “Push to Walk” where they are encouraged to keep growing with the help of one on one trainers. When speaking of who can benefit from their services, “Our clients one continued on page 9

YMCA Celebrates Israeli Independence With Martial Arts, History And Falafel

By Anya Bochman n Mon., May 1, the YMCA in Wayne hosted a Yom Hazikaron program, which sought to educate the attendees about the Israeli Memorial Day. Speakers, including Israel Defense Forces soldier Noam Oren, emphasized the differences between the observances in Israel and America. While in Israel, an entire day is dedicated to mourning the country’s victims of terrorism, with the closing of all places of public entertainment, American Jewry tends to forgo much of the solemnity. However, Oren stressed that there is “no conflict” in the differences, as “in the end, we all cele-

brate what we love.” The program, which drew a crowd of about 80 attendees, began with the sounding of the requisite siren that signals a two-minute “standstill” tribute. Mourners’ prayers followed, with a guitar-led rendition of Israel’s national anthem, “Hatikvah,” which means hope. Oren then took to the podium to speak about his service with the Israel Defense Forces, emphasizing his love for educating young soldiers, and echoing earlier speakers’ sentiments that almost all Israelis know someone who has lost their life to terrorism. Switching to a lighter note, the program served Monday thru Sunday 11:00am-9:30pm

How To Protect Your Pets From Extreme Heat

xtreme heat can be unpleasant for anyone, and pets are no exception. While it’s easy for men and women to detect if their bodies are responding negatively to heat, those warning signs may not be so prevalent in pets, who may suffer in silence as the mercury continues to rise. Pet owners must pay special attention to their pets on hot days, which the Humane Society of the United States notes can be both uncomfortable and dangerous for pets. In an effort to help pet owners

Dr. Matthew Krupnick, D.V.M.

protect their pets from the summer heat, the HSUS offers the following tips to pet owners who want to keep their pets cool and

safe this summer. Don’t leave pets in a parked car. The temperature inside a vehicle can quickly approach danger-

ous levels on hot days, so pet owners should never leave their pets in parked cars, even if they leave the air conditioning on and the engine running. The HSUS notes that on an 85-degree day, temperatures inside cars with slightly cracked windows can reach 102 degrees in as little as 10 minutes. Rather than taking pets with you on car trips, leave them at home inside a comfortably air conditioned room where they won’t be vulnerable to rising temperatures. Change pet’s exercise regimen. Pet owners

591 Newark Pompton Turnpike Pompton Plains, NJ

who make sure their pets get daily exercise should change such routines when temperatures are on the rise. Midday walks or jogs should be switched to evenings or early mornings, when temperatures tend to be at their most moderate. In addition, cut back on the time spent exercising, as pets may have trouble breathing on hot days. When taking your dog for a jog or a run in the summertime, do so on the grass, avoiding asphalt, as hot asphalt can do significant damage to your pet’s paws. Be mindful of your

breed. Dog owners should recognize that certain dogs can handle the heat better than others. Short-nosed breeds have a harder time in extreme heat because their shorter airways don’t allow as much time for the air they breathe in to cool as dogs with longer noses. In addition, the HSUS points out that dogs with white-colored ears are more susceptible to skin cancer than other dogs, making it imperative that owners continued on page 9

Doghouses might not be as prevalent as they once were, but many owners still keep doghouses in their backyards so their fourlegged friends have a place to relax outdoors on lazy afternoons.

Heavy panting, glazed eyes, rapid heartbeat, difficulty breathing, excessive thirst, and lack of coordination are just a few potential indicators that a pet is suffering from heatstroke.

Donate Stock To Lower Your Tax Burden

ith U.S. equity valuations near historically high levels, now might be an opportune time to take advantage of the tax benefits of donating long-term appre-

ciated stock to a qualified charity. Directly donating a winning stock you’ve held for at least one year provides greater tax benefits than writing a check to your favorite cause.

Higher deduction. Your charitable gift deduction will be equal to the market value of the stock on the date of your donation, rather than what you originally paid for it.

CUMAC Has New Location; Needs Help In Setup

UMAC’s supportive housing program recently announced that it will soon have a new home. CUMAC is a non-profit organization dedicated to feeding people and changing the lives of those in need in Patterson, Passaic County and northern New Jersey. It is changing locations in an effort to give

residents the best living experience possible. The new Place of Promise home is located minutes away from the organization’s current location, but it will offer residents much more space and amenities. As the nonprofit prepares for move-in day, there are several items that will be needed by some of the residents, including

new and gently-used refrigerators, kitchen table sets, chairs, box springs and twin- and full-size bed frames. Anyone interested in making a donation should contact info@ cumacecho.org or call 973742-5518. Place of Promise can only accommodate certain size items, so please call to confirm before donating.

No capital gains tax. You avoid paying capital gains tax on the unrealized gains of the stock, because it is transferred directly to the charity rather than sold. That also means the charity gets a bigger gift. Example: Greg Givesalot bought 50 I.M.Great shares two years ago at $100.00 a share. Its shares have appreciated since then to $150.00 a share, giving him a long-term capital gain of $2,500 if he were to sell today. Instead, Greg avoids the capital gains tax by donating the shares to the Red Cross and he deducts the full market value of $7,500 as an itemized deduction on his tax return. Some tips to keep in mind:

• To maximize your charitable donations, donate only long-term appreciated stock (stock you’ve held for one year or longer). That way, you can deduct the full market value of the stock, rather than its cost basis (what you originally paid for it). • If it’s a losing stock, it’s usually better to sell it instead of donating directly. That’s because selling a losing stock will allow you to take a capital loss deduction on your return. Certain limits apply. Robert P.

Volunteer Advocates Needed For Abused, Neglected Children In Passaic

ourt Appointed Special Advocates for Children of Passaic County is now recruiting volunteers to be court advocates for children living in foster care. More than 400 children need a volunteer to advocate on their behalf and ensure they receive the best care while living in the child welfare system. The application process is the first step, while training starts in July. Individuals interested in learning more should attend an orientation session, held twice monthly at the CASA office, 415 Hamburg Turnpike in Wayne, or contact Margaret Curreri at (973) 832-4002. They can

also visit Mcurreri@passaiccountycasa.org for more information or to RSVP. An online volunteer application is available at www. passaiccountycasa.org. “Currently, CASA has the volunteer capacity to serve about 25 to 30 percent of the 625 children living in foster care in Passaic County,” said CASA Program Director Gina Cetta. “Additional volunteers are needed to provide an advocate to every child who needs one. Volunteers are trained and coached throughout the entire process, so they do not need any special skills beyond dedication to the child they are appointed to. A CASA volunteer is a trusted adult

advocate who makes sure that each child has access to services and resources while they are not living with their family. By visiting with the child and others, the advocate makes objective recommendations to the Family Court regarding the entire well-being of the child and helps facilitate a safe, permanent home as quickly as possible.” CASA’s mission to speak on behalf of abused and neglected children is central to fulfilling society’s most fundamental obligation to protect a child’s right to be safe, treated with respect and to help them reach their fullest potential, according to Cetta.

New Book Offers Insight And Life Changing Advice For Fathers

ust in time for father’s day, dads can appreciate a new book “Father’s Say,” written by two authors. Men who have abdicated their role as fathers are the single greatest problem in society today. But fathers who speak of encouragement and love to their children, mixed in with some common sense, sow into their children’s hearts and minds the necessary ingredients for reaping healthy identities and self-images that propel them toward success in life. Wayne resident Joe Pellegrino joins in with

100

author Joe Battaglia to complete their new book, “Father’s Say,” published May 16 by BroadStreet Publishing. In their 192-page hardcover book, Pellegrino and Battaglia share moving stories and life lessons from men and women who testify to the power of a father’s influence. Readers will learn the qualities of being a good dad; what happens to a society that lacks fathers or strong male leadership; the importance of forgiveness toward others, especially the absent or abusive father; powerful and practical truths that help men answer

the question, “How do I become that dad?” “Fathers Say” beautifully demonstrates the power of a father’s words, and the difference they make not only in families, but society, as well. “In “Fathers Say,” Joe Battaglia and Joe Pellegrino have brilliantly woven together keen Biblical insights and wise nuggets of life-changing advice from a variety of fathers who have inspired their now well-known daughters and sons on their roads to success,” says Rita Cosby, Emmy-winning TV host and best-selling author. Battaglia of Oak-

land is a broadcaster, author of “The Politically Incorrect Jesus,” “That’s My Dad!” and president of Renaissance Communications, a company whose mission is to provide media platforms for gifted communicators of biblical truth. Battaglia is also an executive producer and general manager of “Keep the Faith,” the number one faith-based radio program in the country with a weekly audience of more than two million. Battaglia and his wife, LuAnn, have been married for 35 years and have one daughter. Pellegrino is an au-

thor of several books such as “Safe at Home,” “That’s My Dad!” and “Transformed;” a speaker, consultant and entrepreneur. He is president and founder of Legacy Minded Men, whose mission is to “transform lives by engaging, encouraging and equipping men to build a Christ centered legacy.” Pellegrino has also developed and presents several workshops and seminars, including “Standing in the Gap,” “Not Just an Average Joe,” “The 5.5 Questions Everyone Must Answer,” and “Transformed.” Joe and his wife, Bethanne, have three children.

Martin Luther King, Jr.’s “I Have a Dream” speech, which was delivered to a crowd of 250,000 in Washington, D.C., on August 28, 1963, is one of the most memorable moments of Dr. King’s life. In the 17-minute monologue, Dr. King

called for an end to racism. Interestingly, the “dream” component of the speech wasn’t in the original draft. Gospel singer Mahalia Jackson reportedly coached Dr. King to tell the listeners “about the dream.”

iring a landscape architect may be a smart move for homeowners who are planning major overhauls of their properties. “The Operational Outlook Handbook” defines a landscape architect as “a person who designs parks, outdoor spaces of campuses, recreational facilities, private homes, and other open areas.” Landscape architects typically must be licensed and many hold degrees in landscape architecture from accredited schools. Architects who work on residential spaces often work with homeowners to design gardens, plantings, stormwater management, and pools. Landscape architects design spaces to do more than
