Dogs Enjoy Fresh Air And Barking With Others At Local Park
By Cheryl Conway ith almost a decade gone by, hundreds of dogs have stepped foot at the north end of West Parkway within Foothills Park in Pequannock. The Pequannock Township Parks & Recreation dog park, the Bark Park, has been the hot spot for all dogs in the area since it opened almost ten years ago. At that time, the Pequannock Township Council passed an ordinance, 2016-11, allowing leashed dogs in parks. The Bark Park was officially dedicated on Nov. 23, 2007. A Girl Scout and local resident, Katherine Campbell, had suggested the dog park and her efforts earned her a Girl Scout’s Silver Award. Campbell had been working with the township recreation department with retired department director Denise Fur-
faro at the time, according to Barbara Meloy, Pequannock Recreation coordinator. The only dog park in the area, many dog owners register their pets annually to walk and socialize. “The popularity has grown, even with non-residents,” says Meloy about the Bark Park during the
past ten years. In fact, “in 2016 we had nearly 100 dogs registered; so far this year, we have 68.” There are a lot of regulars that go; it has become quite the social gathering. They even created a Facebook page. The dog park has been beneficial to those wanting an area to walk their dogs,
especially those who may not have a private yard. “The folks registered for the park are grateful we have the facility; some don’t have space at their homes/apartments for their dog to run around,” says Meloy. “It’s also a way to socialize their dog.” Not too big in size, the continued on page 2

ccording to an analysis of family trends by the Pew Research Center, the size of families is shrink-
ing. In 1976, 40 percent of mothers between the ages of 40 and 44 had four or more children. Today, the once-dominant large fami-

Cherry Trees And Benches Spruce Up Local Parks And Trails
By Cheryl Conway pring has surely sprung with the first blooms around. Many homeowners are busy gardening around their yards, while others may be looking to invest in beautifying their local parks. The Parks and Recreation Department of Pequannock offers residents and organizations two options of giving by sponsoring a cherry tree or a bench. Sponsored since 2015 by the parks and recreation department, trees can be specified for planting at any of the town’s parks, says Barb Meloy, recreation coordinator. The parks and trails allotted for the planting of cherry trees and installment of benches in the township include Greenview Park,
Foothill Park, Bark Park, PV Park and Woodland Lake. “Our experienced guys with ‘Shade Tree Commission’ will then pick the best location in the park,” explains Meloy. “I believe we have three trees at Greenview Park and another going in this spring.” Originated by Denise Furfaro, the former director of the township’s parks and recreation department, the gifting program is not a means of raising money but rather to beautify the township. “The trees help to improve and preserve our parks,” says Meloy. “We aren’t looking to make money on this program; just an opportunity for individuals/ groups to help improve and Monday thru Sunday 10:00pm-10:00pm
preserve parks; as well as honoring someone/group. Money just pays for the tree/bench, engraving and
DPW time.” An ongoing program, cherry trees get planted in continued on page 4

Cherry Trees And Benches...
continued from page 3 the spring. Benches can be purchased and placed year round. Beautiful with its pretty flowers, “our ‘tree expert” from the Shade Tree Commission recommends the cherry tree for this gifting program, says Meloy. While many trees have yet to be purchased “The people who have participated say it’s nice to visit the tree; they say it makes them smile when thinking of their loved one,” says Meloy. As far as the benches “We haven’t had any benches installed to this point,” she says. Sponsors’ names do get engraved on the benches, she adds. Established more than 35 years ago, the Pequannock Township Parks & Recreation Department has made it a priority to “preserve and improve our parks for all
of Pequannock Township to enjoy,” as stated on the township’s program brochure. Facilities include about 400 acres of parkland, playgrounds, lakes, six tennis courts, three baseball fields, seven softball fields and 12 soccer fields. “It is in these specific spots that our community members have grown up and collected many memories,” as stated in the brochure. “To honor, recognize, and remember those times and the people we shared them with, we are starting a park gifting program in which you can donate a cherry tree or bench. Planted in a spot chosen by the sponsor, tree donations can be planted in memory of a lost loved one, in honor of dedicated service members and orga-
nizations or as a way to celebrate an occasion. “A tree donation is a great way to share a gift with many generations,” the brochure states. While no plaques are permitted on or near the trees, a plaque acknowledging all donations is displayed in the Parks & Recreation Office in Pompton Plains. The cost to sponsor a cherry tree is $250. Donation of a bench is $600 and can be in someone’s memory, to honor or show appreciation of someone or something special. A plaque with a name or message will be mounted on the bench. For more information or to fill out an application for the gifting program, visit www.peqtwp.org or call recreation at 973-835-5700.

ummer camp season is just around the corner. Each summer, millions of children depart for campsites around the country to swim, hike, craft, and enjoy the companionship of friends. Summer camps in North America were first established in the 1880s and were attended by children without their parents for overnight stays. By the 20th century, summer camps had become an international phenomenon, and various organizations hosted traditional summer camps or camps geared toward religion, sports, music and other subjects and activities. According to the
Get Prepared For Summer Camp Season
American Camp Association, each year more than 14 million children and adults in the United States attend camp. America is home to more than 14,000 day and resident camps (8,400 are overnight camps and 5,600 are day camps). Nonprofit groups are the largest sponsors of summer camps. Many people put off summer camp planning until it is too late. Parents should keep in mind that camps begin registration early in the year and have specific cut-off dates for enrollment. Parents who want to beat the crowds this year can use this guide to help plan a summer camp agen-
da.
• Attend an orientation seminar. Take the time to visit prospective camps for a tour, and use this open house as an opportunity to learn more about the programs offered. If available, find a camp employee to discuss your child’s eligibility for enrollment. Some camps may offer webinars for convenience. • Fill out the enrollment package completely. Each camp has their own requirements for registration. Expect to submit some personal information, including a medical background and proof of insurance, names and numbers of emergen-
cy contacts, and any other pertinent information as it applies to the camper. This may include allergies, fears,
physical or mental disabilities, or even preferences in camp courses. • Establish payment
schedules. Summer camps vary in price. The ACA says camp costs range from $100 continued on page 7

Training Essentials For Happy Pets
D
eveloping strong and healthy relationships with pets requires that pet owners provide for their pets in a variety of ways. Although affection and exercise are essential elements to raising a well-rounded pet, owners should not overlook one of the most important parts of pet care: discipline. Well-trained pets can be a joy to be around. The American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals says learning how to train a dog can improve the life of the pet and the life of the owner, enhancing the bond between the owner and the dog while ensuring
Dr. Matthew Krupnick, D.V.M.
the pet’s safety. Many dogs are eager to learn and will embrace their training. Dogs have special needs and instincts, communicating in ways separate from humans. When a puppy is brought into a home, both puppy and owner must adapt to each other. Humans must learn to communicate effectively in a language that a dog will comprehend, while dogs must learn to fit into the human world and refocus some behaviors that may not be appropriate in a home setting. Pet owners have various training methods at their disposal. Pet owners can find many resources in the
library, at pet care centers, or online. No matter which training method pet owners choose, the most effective are those that reward good behavior so that dogs will be more inclined to repeat that behavior over and over. Bad behavior should not be punished, but there should be consequences. The ASPCA says dogs live in the moment and cannot make connections between events and past experiences. Therefore, praise or consequence has to happen immediately for the notion to be reinforced. If the dog sits on command, she should be given a treat or a good amount of praise. If she is nipping while play-
ing, the owner should stop the play so that the fun ends immediately. Training also requires consistency. Anyone involved in the training and interaction with the pet should be following the same set of guidelines. If a behavior is worthy of praise, it should be offered each and every time. If the dog jumps up on a greeting and that is discouraged, every person she jumps up on should correct the behavior. All it takes is one person to pet the dog when she is doing something wrong to confuse the animal. It’s also important to consider the dog’s tem-

perament during training. Certain breeds tend to be more docile or dominant than others. Training methods may need to be adapted based on the demeanor of the dog. Owners who have a stubborn, willful dog on their hands may need firmer, more consistent measures. A dog who is more amenable may be trained easily with food-based rewards. Finding the training balance can take time and patience. Dogs who are trained as puppies will learn good behavior right away and be less likely to adopt bad habits. But dogs can be trained at any age. Older dogs may just require a little more ef-
fort. Training tends to be most effective when it is short and fun for pets and their owners. Dogs do not have long attention spans, so many trainers recommend that training sessions last no longer than 15 minutes. Commands should be to the point and not clouded with a lot of language. For example, “sit,” “stay,” “down” and “off” will get the point across. Try practicing the training in different environments and scenarios. This continued on next page

Training Essentials... cont. from previous page way the dog will behave whether at home or in a friend’s backyard. Use rewards that are tied to the event and what the dog may find most attractive at that point. A hungry dog may respond to food treats. A dog looking to play may appreciate a game of catch as a reward. If training doesn’t seem to be working, try a few different options. Some pet owners find they need help training their dogs. In addition to informative literature and training videos, dog trainers are readily available. Classes can be scheduled privately, and many pet centers offer group classes to interested pet owners. The success rate of training classes and the socialization that these training opportunities offer often justifies the financial and time in-
vestments required to attend classes. The American Veter-inary Society of Animal Behavior emphasizes the importance of starting a puppy in training, including training classes before all vaccinations have been completed. Data supports a lower risk of transmission of disease in puppy socialization classes over the last 10 years. Lack of full immunizations should not be reason alone to keep pups out of important training classes. Pet owners should know that not all behaviors can be stopped. Rather than punish the dog for every natural behavior, try to find acceptable ways to channel those instincts into something safe. A dog who likes to chew should be given plenty of toys. Dogs who are naturally active should be
given adequate amounts of time to run outside. Highly intelligent breeds may benefit from agility training or even learning assistance techniques. A veterinarian can usually provide resources on animal trainers in the area. Look to work with Certified Professional Dog Trainers (CPDTs) and Certified Applied Animal Behaviorists (CAABs) Dr. Matthew Krupnick is the owner of the Pequannock Animal Hospital. He grew up in Kinnelon and is happy to be home – with his wife, three cats, and two dogs – to provide quality and compassionate care for pets in the community.

the U.S. The Scotland contingent is running to support this year’s Face of the Race, 9-year-old Myley Dowson, who was recently diagnosed with epilepsy, and has been in and out of Goryeb Children’s Hospital over the last year while doctors try to get her seizures under control. The race was started five years ago by Zach Rice, now a West Morris Central High School freshman, when he had a rare septic hip infection and resulting Avascular Necrosis. Realizing how much having a gaming system brought from home helped to distract him from his pain while in the hospital, then 10-year-old Zach started the fundraiser as a way to purchase gaming systems for all the rooms at Goryeb
Children’s hospital. The event has raised more than $75,000 in its first four years, and now all 34 rooms have a PS3. Now, funds from the 5K, which are expected to top $100,000, continue to upkeep the systems, buy new games, and fund art, music and pet therapy programs for the hospital. Zach has been both locally and nationally recognized for his efforts, winning the Hasbro Community Action Hero Award, the National Prudential Spirit of Community Award, the National Kohls Cares Scholarship and the New Jersey Jefferson Award. In addition to the 5K, which is a fast out and back course along a scenic, tree-

FINANCIAL News! A
What Drives You To Go To Work In The Morning?
re you driven by the mortgage payment, the car payment, the college tuition for the kids or your own student loan debt? Perhaps the credit card bills or the loan you took from your parents? Might it be the utility company or the water department or the fact that if you don’t pay these bills, there won’t be any hot water for a shower tomorrow? Maybe you have another reason to getup and go to work, like, so you’re not fired or because you like having food on the table and gas in the car. Perhaps money has nothing to do with it and your reason is just to have a reason to get up in the morning and out of the house and that’s why you have a job. Maybe it’s to be a shining example for your children or be-
By Mark E. Charnet
cause that’s the way you were brought up; your father and/or mother got up every day to go to work every day. But, maybe there is a totally different reason, that being, if you go to work in the morning enough times, one day you may not have to go to work ever again! That one day has a name and it’s called “Retirement!” That’s right, by choice or by decision made by others, one day you’ll find yourself retired, meaning, without a paycheck from a job, finished, kaput, unemployed, out and on your own, retired! You’ve now entered the “Retirement Zone!” There are only two types of people in the “Retirement Zone” those who prepared well for this eventuality and the unfortunate, those who did not prepare. The govern-
ment so far, has provided a “stipend” for those who reach retirement age and it’s called Social Security. Will it be enough? It was never designed to be total support, yet, for many people, it is the only source of retirement income they will ever receive. Look in the mirror as soon as you get the chance and ask the reflection if the future retired you will have enough to be able to live the lifestyle you dreamed your retirement to be. Please don’t forget to add the caveat about inflation and its tremendous power of eroding the income you will receive. Have you prepared for this as well? At a 4% annual inflation rate, the purchasing power of your income is reduced by 50% every 18 years! Folks, let this article act as a warning not to
dismiss your retirement planning to a later date. You only have one shot at retirement, or call it more specifically what it technically is, “Unemployment” during the twilight years of your life! If you fail to plan properly for your retirement years, your retirement plan will properly fail you! Shouldn’t your decree be: “If it is to be, it’s up to me?” And, “If I am not for me, who will be?” I wish my parents instilled in me the importance of truly living below my means, saving and investing for my retirement in addition to short term savings goals. I wish they told me about the evils of non-productive debt like credit cards and to avoid the pitfalls of a “play today and pay tomorrow” attitude. The only acceptable debt is that which will yield appreciation or dividends in the future, not depreciation and momentary pleasure of the present. The Bible teaches us to tithe 10% and it would also be wise to invest 10% or more towards one’s retirement as well, starting with and continuing through one’s very first paycheck through the last, in addition to the 401k allocation on the job. In my experience no client has ever complained about saving, investing and having too much for their retirement,
yet many have complained about not saving, investing and NOT having enough money for their retirement years for sure! I am noted for saying: “There are only two types of people as it pertains to money, those who are accumulating wealth for their future and those that are living on their wealth accumulation. Interestingly enough, only those who do a good job of accumulating wealth will have the joy of spending and dispersing their wealth, also known as a financially successful retirement! What drives you to go to work in the morning? Whatever your reason or justification is, may I strongly suggest that you add to that, “for the ability to add larger and more frequent contributions to my retirement portfolio in order to exit the workforce financially independent and at a point of my own choosing.” If you desire a second opinion on your retirement saving plans, goals and objectives, why not give me a call for a free no obligation professional look over your financial shoulder that may prove to be an auspicious move designed to fine tune and accelerate your success! Enjoy the Spring weather and the opportunity to direct more of your hard earned money to your financial future!

hen it comes to pairing wine with food, even experts agree that desserts can pose a challenge. A wide variety of flavor combinations can make it hard to find the perfect selection to serve with your sweet treat. While there’s no exact science to wine pairing, these simple tips can help you make your selection. Sweet Cheesecake A good rule: the lighter the dessert, the lighter the wine. Avoid heavy reds for a sweeter dessert and instead pair with a crisp white like Chardonnay,
such as Joseph Carr from Sonoma, California. Citrusy Lemon Meringue Pie Lemon flavors can sometimes be polarizing, but complementing this dessert with an equally citrusy wine can work wonders. Try pairing with a food-friendly pinot grigio or a sauvignon blanc. Rich Chocolate Cake Red wine with chocolate seems like a no-brainer, but not all red wines are created equal. For a richer delicacy like this devil’s food cake, try something like Villa Pozzi Nero
Pair Like a Pro
D’avola, a more fruit-forward, easy-drinking red varietal. For more tips and wine selections, visit winefix. com New York-Style Honey Cheesecake Recipe courtesy of the National Honey Board 2 cups graham cracker crumbs 1/2 cup butter or margarine, melted 4 packages (8 ounces each) cream cheese 3/4 cup honey 1/4 cup flour 5eggs 1/3 cup heavy cream

Your Guide To Proper Tree Pruning
rees may require pruning for a variety reasons. Storms may have damaged branches, necessitating a pruning. In other instances, trees may have outgrown their yards, overpowering the landscape. Autumn and winter, when trees largely go dormant and fallen leaves make it easier to see the branches beneath, may be prime times to prune. Pruning during the dormant period also minimizes sap loss and stress to the tree, and can help cut down on the growth of fungi. In addition, insects are less likely to be problematic during the colder months of the year. Trimming and pruning can be handled by do-it-
yourselfers if the branches are smaller and more manageable. Practice on thinner branches before moving on to thicker ones, which may require extra help. Branches may be heavy, and it takes a guided hand to ensure the branches fall in a safe manner so they do not cause damage or injury. Branches also need to be trimmed properly to facilitate good healing. Trees will form a callus bark covering over cuts to keep out disease and decay, much as a scab forms over a person’s wound. Damaging the bark on a tree while pruning may interfere with that process, so do-it-yourselfers need to take the time to prune correctly. According to Danny Lipford, home improve-
ment expert and host of the radio program “Today’s Homeowner,” larger limbs may require three cuts instead of one. The first cut is a small notch in the bottom of the limb, around two to three feet from the trunk and about one-quarter of the way through. This helps prevent the bark from splitting. A relief cut is then made a few inches away from the notch cut, and goes all the way through. This removes the weight of the branch so that the final cut can be made without the branch splitting and falling. The final cut is made right where the limb extrudes from the branch collar, or the swollen bump that then forms into the tree limb. Follow the slant of the branch collar when making
the cut. Smaller or thinner branches may not require the same three steps, but every effort should be made to reduce injury to the tree. When deciding how much to prune, less is usually more. All pruning can put some level of stress on the tree and increase its vulnerability to disease and insect infestation. A good rule of thumb is to never prune more than 25 percent of the crown. According to experts at TreeHelp.com, living branches should comprise at least two-thirds the height of the tree. In some instances, the rules may need to be bent if trees are interfering with utility lines or to meet community laws. However, always prune minimally to avoid damaging the tree.
The right tools also make the job safer and easier. Use a pole pruner and lopper, rope saws, folding pruner, and a bucksaw. A chainsaw can be used in some instances, especially when pruning larger limbs. Always disinfect pruning
tools after you’re done to prevent the spread of disease to other trees. Consider hiring a professional tree service if pruning proves beyond your capabilities. Doing so is safe and often well worth the investment.

Steps To A More Organized, Functional Garage
rganization can help homeowners transform their homes into less cramped, more spacious oases without forcing them to finance potentially expensive expansion projects. Homeowners who park in their driveways may find that their garages have become crowded, cluttered spaces in which searching for tools can feel like scouring a haystack in search of a needle. Organizing a garage can create extra room in a home while affording homeowners the chance to protect their vehicles from the elements. Homeowners who want to turn their garages into something more than cluttered storage units
can employ the following strategies to transform these largely overlooked areas into more valuable spaces. • Choose the right day. Garages tend to be separate from the rest of the homes they’re a part of, meaning
the only way to organize a garage is to first remove all items from the garage and into the driveway. Because items removed from the garage will be exposed to the elements, homeowners should choose a day that’s continued on page 18

Organized, Functional Garage... continued from page 17 temperate and sunny to clean their garages. If possible, homeowners should opt to organize their garages in late spring, summer or early fall when there are additional hours of daylight. This protects homeowners from having to work in the dark should the job take longer than they initially anticipated. • Discard or donate duplicate items. Duplicate items are some of the main culprits behind cluttered garages. As garages gradually become more cluttered, homeowners may buy tools they already have simply because they cannot find their original tools. When organizing the garage, create separate piles for duplicate tools, placing still-useful items in a pile that can be donated to neighbors,
local charities or organizations and another pile for old tools that are no longer useful. • Host a garage sale. Homeowners who want to organize their garages and make a buck at the same time can host garage sales. Make only those items that are still functional available for purchase, and let neighbors and bargain hunters do the bulk of your organization work for you. • Designate areas of the garage for certain items. Once the items that won’t be going back into the garage have been sold, donated or discarded, organize the garage by designating areas for certain items, making sure to separate items that can pose safety risks. For example, store kids’ bicycles and outdoor toys in a corner of the ga-
rage that is opposite the corner where potentially dangerous items such as power tools and gas cans will be stored. Keep the center of the garage open for vehicles. • Periodically park cars in the garage. Homeowners who are comfortable parking their vehicles in their driveways can improve their chances of maintaining organized garages over the long haul by periodically parking in the garage. Doing so not only prevents the gradual buildup of clutter that can slowly take over a garage, but also protects homeowners’ automotive investments. Maintaining an organized garage can help homeowners make more practical use of the space in their homes.
