Special Olympics Swimmers Train at The YMCA in Livingston
S
By Elise Phillips Margulis pring means training time for the Special Olympics Aquatics team at the West Essex YMCA in Livingston. Developed by Eileen Larney 5 years ago, the program includes 30 children and adults between the ages of 8 and 40. The team is called the Piranhas and is comprised of participants who have various intellectual disabilities. Scott Weber, Senior Director of Aquatics says, “The YMCA believes that everyone deserves the opportunity to reach their full potential and be part of a supportive community. Regular practices in the pool and competitions help teammates stay healthy, build relationships, and experience a sense of achievement. This is now the fifth year of Piranhas swimming and our team keeps growing. We are excited to help our swimmers reach their goals this year and have fun competing against the best at the Special Olympics.” The program is free and
swimmers and their families enjoy gym, exercise equipment, and pool privileges from early March until the end of the Special Olympic swimming season. The Kiwanis Club is the Program Champion of the Piranhas. They have been working with the YMCA for decades. The Kiwanis Club raises money to help children with special needs. The YMCA, in turn, sends volunteers to help at Kiwanis events. Last year the Piranhas gained another sponsor. The Elks organization has provided funds for team equipment and special events. Parents of the Piranhas are very happy with the Special Olympics. One mom, Peggy Romano, offered the following testimony: “My son Mikey has been a part of the Piranhas for the past few years. As he has a dual diagnosis of both down syndrome and autism with significant cognitive deficits this has been a team experience in a sport that he has been
working on for almost his entire 17 years. To participate an individual must be able to swim at least 25 yards without guidance in the pool. This was a lot to achieve for him and we celebrate that the Y has this program and he can participate. Coach Larney and her dedicated staff give countless hours to make this program thrive and be fun for so many children as well as adults. She personally cooks the food (including meatballs) for the team pasta
party before the first meet and also coordinates an end of season swim party with a barbecue and awards ceremony. “It is a true swim team experience for our athletes. It has been exciting for me to see that our local Elks have taken such an interest in supporting the team, the support is so needed and appreciated!” Larney says.

Livingston Animal Lover Raises over $3,000 for Animal Shelter
H
By Elise Phillips Margulis ave you seen the birthday fundraisers that Facebook prompts people for a couple of weeks before their birthday? A variety of causes are available and if you click on one, your friends will be notified that you’re requesting donations. Some people are able to raise a few hundred dollars but Lisa Kent of Livingston was determined to collect a tidy sum of money for Mt. Pleasant Animal Shelter in East Hanover (www.njshelter.org) for her 50th birthday. She posted the fundraiser repeatedly on her Facebook page and reminded her friends that she would greatly appreciate their support in helping the animals. She even matched her friends’ and relatives’ donations. When the online fundraiser ended, Mt. Pleasant Animal Shelter received in excess of $3,000. Kent said she’s a longtime animal lover and chose Mt. Pleasant because “other charities have people asking for donations but animals don’t have a voice and need people to help them. They give us so much
including unconditional love.” This recent birthday fundraiser wasn’t the first time Kent’s family helped Mt. Pleasant Animal Shelter. Her daughter collected money for Mt. Pleasant Animal Shelter and 11th Hour Rescue (www.ehrdogs.org) in Rockaway for her Bat Mitzvah. Kent said she often cleans out her closets and donates old sheets, towels, and blankets to the shelter because shelters always need those things and other supplies. Kent owns a dog sitting business in Livingston and has 2 dogs that are like children to her (in addition to her actual teenage daughters). She grew up with horses and cats but never lived with a dog. Her children begged for a pooch but she was afraid to welcome a canine into her home because they had 2 cats. She took her daughters to puppy stores to visit the cute doggies but said they couldn’t take one home. The first dog she fell in love with was her brother’s Cavalier King Charles Spaniel. One day Kent’s husband surprised her with a Cavapoo (Cavalier King Charles Spaniel and Poodle mix) who they named
Molly. Kent was very nervous about how her 2 cats would react. Naturally, she fell madly in love with Molly (and the cats accepted her) and wound up adopting another Cavapoo, Lenny, 6 months later. Despite having cats and horses throughout her life, Kent found that, “The love I have for all my animals is special but the bond between myself and both my dogs is a bond I never had with any other animal continued on page 8

Charlie Schilling Retires After A 77 Year Career As Livingston Fire Chief
A
By Mike Cobb fter a remarkable 77-year career, Charlie Schilling has retired as Livingston’s Fire Chief. A World War ll veteran and in the words of Mayor Al Anthony “a local institution”, the 98 year old was recently honored when the town proclaimed January 28 “Charlie Schilling Day.” Family, friends, and colleagues gathered to honor and thank the former fire chief for a lifetime of service. Anthony and council members proclaimed Schilling “a man of great honor” and read paragraphs worth of his lifelong achievements. Among his many accomplishments, Schilling helped begin the Livingston First Aid Squad, formerly just a branch of the fire department, and has been actively involved since its inception. Additionally, Schilling contributed to the community by teaching CPR for the American Red Cross as well as serving as a member of Essex County Chiefs Associ-
ation, the New Jersey Chiefs Association, International Chiefs Association, the Livingston Fire Department Benevolent Association, and as the chairman of the New Jersey Fire Code Council. Current Fire Chief Christopher Mullen added, “Chief Schilling is a remarkable man who has dedicated his life to public service and is most well known as Livingston’s Fire Chief for 35 years serving from 1954 - 1990. The Chief or “Charlie” as his friends and elders called him was also instrumental in the development and growth of the Township of Livingston for decades, when we started working for the township it was farmlands; now it’s a bustling community.” “Chief Schilling is well respected throughout the State of New Jersey’s Fire Service and well as on the code enforcement side of things. Serving as the Chairman of the State Fire Codes Council, Chief Schilling’s crew developed a laundry list of
fire and life safety codes which resonate throughout the State to this very day. I cannot possibly summarize Chief Schillings accomplishments and career highlights in a few paragraphs, other than to say that the State of New Jersey, the Township of Livingston and the Livingston Fire Department members were fortunate to serve under Chief Schilling’s command. For that opportunity, we say Thank You Chief!” Mayor Al Anthony states that, “Chief Schilling is literally an institution in Livingston. He has been a resident, public servant and a valued member of our community for his entire life. He served as the Chief of the Livingston Fire Department for 35 years, served on various regional and international chief associations for decades, and was instrumental in chartering the Livingston First Aid Squad while serving and instructing for over 55 years.

Jersey Cares Makes Volunteering Fun, Easy, and Meaningful
I
By Melissa Krenek t’s never too late to start making a difference in your community, a sentiment that Meagan Mulligan, Service Events Manager for Jersey Cares preaches often. Jersey Cares is a non-profit organization based out of Livingston, with the mission of making volunteering “fun, easy, and meaningful.” They have been providing individuals, families, corporations and community groups with a wide variety of volunteer opportunities since they opened their doors in 1993. They address critical community-identified needs through various programs, including corporate service programs, days of service, and collection drives. Through corporate service programs, Jersey Cares helps corporations that are interested in volunteering but don’t have the team or resources to get started. Event coordinators create a custom service project that can be completed on or off-site. These projects are great for companies looking for team-building exercis-

es or simply want to volunteer their time. The most profitable events are their days of service, which include the September 11th National Day of Service and Remembrance and the Martin Luther King, Jr. (MLK) Day of Service. The MLK Day of Service prompts people across New Jersey to live out Dr. King’s vision and come together to build a stronger community. Last year they were joined by 1,700 volunteers across 10 counties, activities included painting school murals, making no-sew fleece blankets for the homeless, serving hot meals at community centers, and so much more. Jersey Cares also coordinates seasonal and annual collection drives, seasonal drives include the Halloween Costume Drive, Frosty Friends, the Winter Coat Drive, and the School Supply Drive. Frosty Friends, which is Meagan’s favorite, is their second largest drive to date. “This year’s Frosty Friends brought over 5,000 children gifts this winter,” Meagan exclaimed. It differs from the typical
toys-for-tot’s programs in that it adds an interactive component between the donor and the recipient. Similar to other holiday ventures, children in the program write letters to Frosty asking for toys for the holiday season. Volunteers then purchase the item requested and respond to the child’s letter. This correspondence option leads to lasting connections, which can make all the difference in a child’s life. “For some of these children this is the only gift they will receive all year, and that’s why this program is so special to us,” Meagan stated. Their annual coat drive, which is in its 23rd year, brought in over 30,000 coats to non-profits across the state. They set up state-wide containers, so people don’t have to travel far to participate. We often forget how many people in New Jersey need warm winter coats, especially children and the elderly. “Winter coats can be expensive, and kids often grow out of them, or on the opposite end of the spectrum a winter coat continued on page 7

continued from page 6 can grant an adult more independence, whether to pick up a prescription or go on a job interview.” If you’re interested in donating during an off season, Meagan suggests their year-round programs, which consist of the First Night Kit Program and Animal Shelter Helpers. Volunteers assemble kits for domestic violence shelters, transitional housing facilities, foster homes and other programs with transitional populations in need of hygiene items on the “first night” of their stay. Items needed include shampoos, soaps, lotion, toothpaste/toothbrushes, deodorant, socks, underwear, and t-shirts. (Check out the website for the full listing.) People that find themselves in these crisis situations often forget to pack an overnight bag or don’t have access to one. The pre-made kits help make these difficult transitions as easy as possible. “It’s welcoming to know that you have your own items,” Meagan explained. This pro-
gram is great for agencies with smaller budgets, or for corporate events looking for a charity component. “These kits can sustain for a whole week and cost as much as your daily coffee,” she added. If interested in donating, you can purchase pre-assembled kits or pick up individual items to drop off at the Jersey Cares office. Virtual donations can be made through a donation page where individuals purchase specific items off a pre-selected list, which is given to Jersey Care employees to buy in store. The second all-year program is the Animal Shelter Helpers, which donates items to local shelters to assist in their day-to-day operations. Most shelters operate on low budgets, which makes housing and caring for a large volume of animals merely impossible, often resulting in animals being turned away. Jersey Cares assists shelter workers by helping them properly stock their facilities. Common items donated include pet food, beds, and toys, but Meagan stresses the
importance of donating hand soap, detergent, and other household supplies that may be overlooked. “Donating these items makes all the difference on how many animals they are able to house during the year.” If you’re looking to squeeze a couple volunteer days into your busy schedule, the Volunteer Opportunity Calendar is the way to go. This tool, built into the Jersey Cares website, allows you to search for volunteer opportunities based on your location, service area desired, and host organization. It then pairs you with events happening in your area on a weekly basis. Every little bit helps, and Jersey Cares strives to streamline the volunteering process for everyone. Jersey Cares is located at 290 West Mount Pleasant Avenue, Suite 1320 in Livingston and accepts donations Monday through Friday from 9:00 a.m. – 5:00 p.m. If you need additional information on any of the programs listed or want to fill out a volunteer application, visit www.jerseycares.org.

Fire Chief... continued from page 4 a great and caring person he is. In fact, the street where I coach and my kids play Little League is called Schilling’s Way.“ Schilling reflected saying, “When I came back from World War II and looked at the fire department, I was frightened. We had 17 firemen, five of them were farmers, and the department was sorry-look-
ing.” But after a lifetime of getting the department in shape through recruiting, training, and maintaining firefighters, Schilling can look back at a rich career of contribution and accomplishments. Livingston honors Charlie Schilling. Thanks to his years of service, the town can look forward to a safer future.

Livingston Public Schools Appoints New PreK-12 World Language Supervisor
L
By Melissa A. Kay ivingston Public Schools has welcomed a new staff member on March 8th. Appointed by The Board of Education, Dr. Frank Ruggiero is the district’s PreK-12 supervisor of World Language and ESL. With an impressive history in the school system, Livingston Public Schools has gained a seasoned supervisor ready to bring his professionalism and passion for languages to students starting young up through their senior year. Speaking of history, Nutley Public Schools will be saying goodbye to their K-12 coordinator of world languages & ESL as Dr. Ruggiero takes this next sizeable step in his career. He has also worked for the Edison Public Schools and was an adjunct professor at Fairleigh Dickinson University’s Florham campus. Marybeth Kopacz, LPS Director of Curriculum, Instruction, and Professional Development shared her thoughts on the appointment, highlighting the staff’s enthusiasm about Dr. Ruggiero’s new role as well as his impressive background and

He immediately connected with the teachers and administrators, and we are eager to work with him as we seek new and exciting ways to move the World Language and ESL departments forward. Frank has EdM and EdD degrees in educational administration and supervision from Rutgers, The State University of New Jersey. He remains active professionally, currently serving on the Board of Directors and as president of Foreign Language Educators of New Jersey (FLENJ) and as the northeast (NECTFL) regional representative to the advisory board of the National Association of District Supervisors of Foreign Languages (NADSFL).

We need students who will be biliterate, bicultural, and prepared for the inevitable unexpected.” With the experience and effectiveness Dr. Ruggiero has already put forth in his prior positions, the PreK-12 students attending Livingston Public Schools are set up to soar in their language education – a gift that will last a lifetime as they use their skills in school, socially, in their careers down the road, and in other areas where communicating in other languages proves useful. Ruggiero is hopeful to have a long-term tenure within the district. The Livingston Public Schools teachers, staff members, and most importantly, students of all ages are fortunate to have the impassioned and inspiring Dr. Ruggiero leading them in learning with his love for language.

Livingston Teen Recognized for Her Art
L
By Jason Cohen ivingston teen Rachel Kogut fell in love with art as a child and recently, her work won an award for the first time. Kogut, 18, a senior, at Livingston High School, was one of four recipients of the Merit Award at the Art Administrators of New Jersey’s (AANJ) Emerging Artists Exhibit. She submitted a digital illustration, titled “trapped” that depicted a girl blowing a bubble inside bubbles. This was on display at the James Howe Gallery at Kean University in Union from Jan. 9 to Jan. 27. She now has an opportunity to submit art for the AANJ Emerging Artists Achievement Award winner’s title and recognition at the annual Governor’s Awards in Arts Education.
“It’s a very different feeling,” Kogut said. “I’ve never felt so accomplished with something I’ve created.” Kogut developed her passion for art at the age of 3. She recalled how her parents Boris and Julia told her she used to draw on the walls and eventually around age 7 or 8, she began taking art classes. She explained that she was never interested in math or science, but art always stood out to her. “I think it was the ability to create what I had in my head and express myself,” she said. As she got older, she became a student of art history and has visited museums and read numerous books about art. Although she is slowly becoming an accomplished artist, she acknowledged she is
her biggest critic. According to Kogut, some of her favorite things to draw and paint are superstitions involving her ethnicity as an Eastern European Jew. For example, she has drawn a black

Teen Recognized... continued from page 11 her succeed, she expressed her gratitude to her art teachers Chris Iannuzzi, and Lidna Maizner. In fact, Iannuzzi was the one who told her about the contest and submitted her work. “They pushed me to include more and approach a topic from a different sort of perspective,” Kogut said. Since winning the award a couple months ago, she has received a bit of buzz in the community. She had her picture in her school newspaper and on the school’s website and was written about in the West Es-
sex Tribune. As she looks to the future, she envisions herself going to college for graphic design and pursuing a career in that field or digital illustration. Her work was also on display at the end of February at the Montclair Art Museum. “I always knew I wanted to be an artist, but I wasn’t sure how long I could sustain that dream,” she said. “As a person I’m generally hardworking. As an artist, I want to create some work that spreads a message and makes a difference in the world. I’d like to use art as a call to action.”

Did You Know?
et owners who are considering microchips for their pets but are concerned that inserting a microchip into their pets will make the animals susceptible to cancer should not allow that concern to dissuade them from going forward. The American Veterinary Medical Foundation notes that the likelihood that a pet will develop cancer due to a microchip is very, very low. The AVMF also advises that the benefits associated with microchips, namely that lost
pets will be reunited with their owners, greatly outweighs the very minimal risk that the pets will suffer from adverse health conditions as a result of their implants. The AVMF also notes that animal shelters and veterinary clinics are acutely aware of the concerns about missing an implanted microchip, leading them to take extraordinary measures to determine if a microchip is present before deciding to put the animal up for adoption or, in certain instances, to euthanize the animal.

Essex County’s West Caldwell School of Technology to Undergo Expansion and Modernization
W
By Steve Sears hen the 2018-19 school year for Essex County West Caldwell School of Technology ends, a flurry of activity will begin. On Wednesday, January 30, Essex County Executive Joseph N. DiVincenzo, Jr. and the Essex County Schools of Technology signed a Project Labor Agreement with local construction trades unions to ensure union workers will be hired and work on a $30-million-dollar project to expand and modernize the facility. The project includes construction of a two-story addition onto the front of the school, renovations to current space to accommodate current and new curriculum, and creation of an outdoor courtyard.
The slated project completion date is January 2021. While the project is on-going, students will attend classes at Bloomfield Technical School, which was recently closed but will be briefly reopened during the renovation project. “That building was a factory,” says DiVincenzo. “The county purchased it in 1976, so from 1976 until now it was one of our vocational schools. Our vocational school system here in Essex County has approximately 2,200 kids in all three of our buildings, and now that school (West Caldwell) houses approximately between 250 – 300.” The Essex County West Caldwell School of Technology project follows on the heels of the building of the new Donald

DiVincenzo is proud to mention that, in the past seven years, Essex County vocational schools have received four National Blue-Ribbon Awards, and he lauds the new facilities. “The Payne School is probably the best school in the state of
New Jersey when it comes to vocational training; it’s 330 square feet of beautiful building. The West Caldwell campus – that whole area, once this is done and completed – it’s going to be beautiful. It will look great, I think the community is going to love it, we’re going to make sure it’s not only a great school, but we’re also going to have the community participate in the school.

Essex County Prosecutor’s Office Launches New Joint Task Force to Combat Crime
F
By Kimberly Redmond ollowing an uptick in burglaries in the western part of the county, several local police departments, along with the Essex County Prosecutor’s Office, have launched a joint task force to combat crime. The initiative, announced on Feb. 6 by Acting Essex County Prosecutor Theodore N. Stephens II, includes Caldwell, Cedar Grove, Essex Fells, Fairfield, North Caldwell, Roseland, Verona, West Caldwell and Livingston. “One of the most effective ways of extending the reach of law enforcement is by sharing information and personnel,” Stephens said in a press release on the new task force. “Criminals do not recognize borders particularly when it comes to property crimes. By working together, we can identify patterns that we hope will enable us to solve crimes quicker and disrupt criminal crews that may be working in multiple communities,” the acting prosecutor added. Officers from the nine departments will focus on three aspects of crime prevention:
T
deterrence, education and detection, he said. And, they’ll coordinate on activities such as safety checkpoints and cooperative patrols, Stephens said. Forming a joint initiative came about after local law enforcement “saw a need to help each other combat auto thefts and burglaries” in the county, North Caldwell Police Chief Mark Deuer said. “Although we have always had a great working relationship with each other, this new unit brings us all together as one team with one mission,” said Deuer, who also serves as president of the West Essex Chiefs Association. In recent months, several communities in the western part of the county have experienced increases in the number of unlocked cars being broken into, particularly during the evening hours. Last summer, an Irvington man was arrested in connection with over two dozen vehicle break ins reported in Verona and Fairfield. In some instances, cars with key fobs left inside have been stolen. In other cases, residents have left personal belongings,
such as wallets, purses, cell phones and laptop computers, in plain sight that include information that made them vulnerable to identity theft. Each year, more than $1.2 billion in personal items and accessories are swiped from cars in the U.S., according to data from CNN. Experts estimate that there are about 1.85 million thefts a year, as well as thousands and thousands of attempted break ins. Some general safety tips from police include: Park in busy, well-lit areas and avoid concealment from larger vehicles. The greater the chance that someone may see a crime in progress, the more a thief
will be deterred, lock the doors, and close windows and the sunroof, either hide from plain sight or remove all valuables (cash, iPad adapters, power plugs, GPS units). Also, remove any items with personal identifiers (wallets, vehicle papers such as registration, and cell phones) and use the trunk to store shopping bags instead of keeping them in plain view. Don’t leave a garage door opener in the car and don’t leave your car running when you pop into a store to grab something quickly. Finally, consider an anti-theft system, such as an alarm, steering wheel locks, steering column collars or brake pedal locks.
Buying a home? Before you go with the realtors mortgage company give me a call.
Did You Know?
hough urban areas may not be in close proximity to beaches, lakes or streams, stormwater from such areas is one of the primary ways that pollutants are delivered to major bodies of water. According to the United States Environmental Protection Agency, high stormwater flow can send untreated sewage into our waters, including our oceans. Stormwater from
urban areas also may be responsible for delivering heavy metals, pathogens (bacteria, viruses or other microorganisms that can cause disease) and sediment into our waters. Eco-friendly infrastructure can reduce and treat stormwater at its source, preventing many of the environmental problems associated with stormwater runoff.
