children at story time. What’s more, those same parents and caregivers had uttered those exact same words, expressing that exact same feeling, of not wanting their beloved story to end when they were read to as a youngster. It is well known that when parents and caregivers read to their children, when children are shown the passion and enjoyment that a story can bring to them, chances are they will become avid readers themselves. Seeking to help them accomplish this worthwhile goal, Butler Public Library invites everyone to

their program, the Read 1,000 Books Before Kindergarten Challenge. “This challenge is something that is not just doable, it is much anticipated,” relates Butler Public Library’s Children Services Provider, Arlene Walk. “This is a nationwide effort, and we’ve been doing the program for about 4 years now. People just love it.” The Read 1,000 Books Before Kindergarten Challenge was inspired by the 1,000 Books Foundation. This nonprofit is operated exclusively for charitable, literary and educational purposes. And it has the best of

objectives: To promote reading to newborns, infants and toddlers. It also serves to nurture parent and child bonding through

reading. A lifelong lover of books, reading and learning, Walk has been working at the Butler Library cont. on page 2

continued from front page for approximately 8 years. Before that, she had worked at Butler’s Aaron Decker School and The Richard Butler School. For Walk, the 1,000 Books Before Kindergarten Challenge is a perfect combination of both her enthusiasm for reading and working with children. “Many libraries have a challenge like this,” she relates. “Here at Butler, we have approximately about 70 people participating so far. We also see a lot of people from other towns such as Bloomingdale, Kinnelon. Our library may be small but we have a large selection of picture books that kids and parents just gravitate to.” The Read 1,000 Books Before Kindergarten Challenge also engages creativity and imagination for the children on a couple of different levels, including visually. “How it works is that children register for the program, get books from the library to read, then they will then receive a picture log brochure where they can color in animals, such as whales, koala bears, and turtles,” Walk warmly explains. “When they finish reading a story, then they color in a picture. When it is completed, children

and their parents come back to the library to get more books to read, return the brochure, and the children will win a prize such as a small stuffed animal. The children are so excited, they often have trouble making up their minds about which prize to choose. It’s so cute,” Walk remarks. “We then will give the children a brand new picture log brochure and they will start all over again. Soon they are well on their way to reading toward the thousand books.” Visitors to the library can even see the progress of the children for themselves, chronicling their reading journey throughout their pre schooling years. “We’ll post their progress on the wall with how many books the children complete, changing them each time,” Walk enthuses. “We’ll even post pictures of them on Facebook if parents wish it.” Walk shares that she sees many children participating in the program, some as young as one years old, as well as children ages two and three. “Since these children are so young and cannot read yet, their parents have to read to them,” she says. “It not only stimulates their imaginations and

creativity, it’s a great way for parents and kids to develop a routine and strengthens a bond between them. When parents and children read together, it creates children who become avid readers.” Although it might sound like a large number of books to read, Walk discloses that quite a few children have met the 1,000 books challenge. Along with their utter zeal for reading, children who reach that impressive mark will be awarded a Target gift card as a final prize. For Walk and the rest of the Butler Library staff, the program is all about encouraging literacy, enjoyment, and learning to ensure the children’s future success. “We are so excited, every time a child completes a book, or log brochure, we make a big deal about it,” she prides. “When a child just begins to read, they discover the pleasures of books and the joy of reading. The 1,000 book challenge is just one example of how books can bring joy into the lives of children and how going to the library to choose books to read is an adventure. It will prepare them for bigger and better things when they enter school.”

law enforcement groups that have joined the countywide “Stigma Free’’ initiative. The overriding goal is to help eradicate the stigma associated with mental illness and with substance abuse disorders. The goal is to get people who need help into treatment programs. “We need so much more openness and understanding when it comes to talking about mental illness. Dealing with mental illness is extremely hard on its own, doing so in silence makes it even harder,” said Kinnelon Mayor James Freda. Kinnelon is the latest member of the just-turned

three-year-old grass roots movement in Morris County that recognizes the high prevalence of mental illness and substance use disorders in our communities. The Stigma-Free initiative promotes re-education and understanding that can lead to treatment and recovery – minus the stigma associated with these illnesses. Leaders of this movement from across the county are now working with school districts and faith-based groups to become active participants. The Morris County Board of Freeholders on April 27, 2016 passed a resolution descontinued on page 4

Stigma Free... continued from page 3 ignating Morris County as a Stigma-Free County, joining an already established movement as a partner. The goal is to bring our entire county community together in a united effort to help people seek recovery, without fear of stigma or reprisal,’’ said Morris County Freeholder Director Doug Cabana. “We are glad to be members of the Stigma-Free community, along with Kinnelon Borough, which has long been in the forefront in dealing with mental health and substance use issues. ’’ Kinnelon joins a vast majority of Morris County municipalities that have signed on as Stigma-Free communities. Other Stigma-Free towns are Boonton, Boonton Township, Butler, Chatham Bor-

ough, Chatham Township, Chester Borough, Chester Township, Denville, Dover, East Hanover, Hanover, Jefferson, Lincoln Park, Long Hill, Madison, Mendham Borough, Mendham Township, Mine Hill, Montville, Mount Olive, Morris Plains, Morristown,

Morris Township, Mt. Arlington, Mountain Lakes, Netcong, Parsippany, Pequannock, Randolph, Rockaway Borough, Rockaway Township, Roxbury, Victory Gardens, and Washington Township, plus Morris County. “It is support shown for this

Stigma-Free initiative by towns like Kinnelon -- Mayor James Freda and the township council -- and their residents that can make this grass roots effort succeed,’’ said Freeholder Kathy DeFillippo, the board’s liaison on Stigma-Free issues. Morris County’s Stigma-Free website https:// morriscountystigmafree.org/ news/ offers for a wealth of information and resources, a calendar of upcoming events related to mental illness and substance abuse, and a Stigma-Free Toolkit for towns, schools, and faith-based communities.

Bloomingdale Teen Honored by College for Skeet Shooting

By Jon Cronin Bloomingdale native was honored by his college for his achievements in Clay Target shooting. Camerin Caraballo, a 19-year-old sophomore at Washington College in Maryland, received his first Shoreman of the Week for the first week of April. Caraballo was astonished at the news. The Trap and Skeet team is only in its second year as a varsity sport at the college. “It wasn’t in my mindset since we’re new,” Caraballo said. “As a new shooter, who has little experience, I didn’t expect to do as well to get that kind of recognition.” He said got that news in

early one morning at the beginning of April. “It was funny, I woke up and checked my phone at 7:11 a.m., and saw a text from my coach.” As he shook off sleep, he thought, “Why would I get that?” and confessed, “I thought I was still dreaming.” According to a release by the college, Caraballo was given the honor for best individual score in his class when shooting at the ACUI Collegiate Clay Target Championships. The Washington College team takes part in various kinds of skeet shooting, where a clay disk is shot into the sky and a skilled marksman shoots at it with a shotgun. In the competitions, the disk is released at different angles

and from varying directions, depending on the version of skeet. During the championships at the end of March, Carballo tied for fourth in Sporting Clays in Class B with 77 targets broken, tied for 13th in International Skeet with 72, tied for 22nd in American Trap with

88, and tied for 23rd in International Trap with 72. He also tied for 36th in Super Sporting with 76 and tied for 40th in American Skeet with 83. The team’s coach, Douglas Pfaff, said he was not surprised when he heard the news. “He’s been shooting very continued on page 7

better, but there was only one person out of 10 who had shot skeet.” He said he joined the club and got better. Last year, the shooting club became a varsity team. Caraballo said he doesn’t know if he’ll keep shooting as often as he does now. He noted that it’s an expensive hobby to keep going. Right now, the athletics department gives them money to shoot at a local range on the weekends, but the team also fundraises to pay their expenses. His thoughts after graduation in two years bend more towards getting his master’s degree and whether he will pursue a PhD in biological neuroscience or cognitive neuroscience.

Watch Out! 7 Vacation Costs that Sneak Up on You

oing on vacation is a time to get away, relax and enjoy new experiences. But if you don’t pay close attention, extra costs can sneak up on you like tiny money-stealing ninjas. Here are seven sneaky vacation costs to watch out for: 1. Covert airfare increases. Airline pricing algorithms are programmed to store your browsing history to see if you’ve been looking at flights. If you have, they will bump up the price. Before searching, clear your internet history and switch to private (or incognito) mode on your web browser. When you are finally ready to book the flight, do so using a different computer from a new location to be sure that you’re avoiding this artificial price in-

crease. 2. Stealthy resort fees. The nightly base rate for a fancy resort will often compare favorably to a standard hotel in the same location. This is an intentional pricing tactic by resorts to get their rooms on the initial search results page. Don’t be fooled! These same resorts will add a daily resort fee on the back end of your bill to cover the extra amenities they offer. The extra fee might be worth it to you, but it’s better to understand the full cost of the stay before making your reservation. 3. Useless rental car insurance. Rental car companies will try to sell you insurance to cover damages you may cause during the rental period. Often, the auto insurance

you already have will extend to the rental car. In these cases, the extra insurance isn’t necessary. Before renting a car, check with your insurance company to see if a rental will be covered. 4. Bloated baggage fees. You probably already know that airlines may charge for checking a bag, but do you know they will charge extra if a bag is too heavy? Exact weight can vary by airline or location, so check the weight limits before you go and weigh any heavy bags using a bathroom scale. 5. Crafty parking costs. Downtown hotels in big cities charge as high as $75 per night for parking! Research alternative parking options near your hotel or compare the cost of

using rideshare options before committing to the hotel rate. 6. Sly extra driver charges. Rental car companies will charge an extra daily fee to have a second driver listed on the rental. If possible, commit to one person to handle all the driving on your vacation. 7. Tricky foreign transaccontinued on page 9

Do Cats and Dogs Really Fight Like Cats and Dogs?

ats and dogs have long been depicted as ardent foes, consistently getting into scrapes with one another. But are those claims exaggerated?Many cats and dogs peacefully coexist in their homes, where their divergent personalities combine to make homes more interesting. Cats and dogs tend to have different body language, but that should not be mistaken for opposition.Take, for example, a boisterous puppy that excitedly approaches visitors with its tail wagging to show friendliness. According to the animal experts at slimdoggy.com, a resource

for dog food, fitness, and fun; cats interpret wagging tails as signs of anger or displeasure. Dogs like to sniff their “friends” and get to know them, and cats don’t favor this attention. When sniffed, cats may run off, unintentionally triggering dogs’ natural predator instincts. Such an instance is a rough way for cats and dogs to begin a relationship, and it’s easy to see how such an introduction can lay a poor foundation for their relationship. Cats and dogs also have continued on page 11

continued from page 10 different social styles. While a cat may be content to be alone and approach visitors cautiously, dogs tend to be sociable and rush into situations if they think there is fun to be had.

But cats and dogs can peacefully coexist. One way to foster a good relationship between cats and dogs is to control their initial introduction. If possible, separate the animals initially, giving cats a chance to warm up to their

new situation. Upon introducing the two, it may be best to have the dog on a leash so that you can control its desire to lunge. Calmness is key; do not force the cat to come to the dog or vice versa. Reward calm behavior with treats and repeat these steps until the pets appear to be used to each other. It’s important that pet owners recognize that while cats and dogs may peacefully coexist in a home most of the time, their natural instincts may kick in every so often. Just separate the pets if they have a tiff. Rumors abound that cats and dogs can’t share a home, but that’s simply not true.

With some early socialization, patience on the part of pet owners, and an understanding of cat and dog behaviors; pet parents can ensure both cats and dogs live together in harmony. 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 Pequannock Animal Hospital is located at 591 Newark Pompton Turnpike in Pompton Plains. You can reach the hospital by calling 973-616-0400.

Freeholders Look to Retain Seats in June Primary

orris County is 1 of the 43 bestrun counties in America at managing our tax dollars - out of over 3,000 counties nationwide – putting our County in the top 1% of best fiscally managed county governments. That’s based on analyses from leading financial experts including Moody’s and Standard & Poors that have both awarded their “highest quality” AAA rating. Moody’s called the county efforts “strong conservative fiscal management,” while Standard & Poor’s said Morris County had “better credit characteristics than the United States.” That’s driven in large part by the work of the three proven conservatives on the Freeholder Board: Doug Cabana, Tom Mastrangelo and Kathy DeFillippo, who are delivering real results for Morris County taxpayers. Our Freeholders have also: • Passed fiscally-responsible budgets including 3 years of no tax hikes

Doug Cabana

Kathy DeFillippo

Tom Mastrangelo

• Cut outstanding county debt by $53 million • Balanced county budgets while maintaining services and programs • Improved quality of life, by doubling the miles of county roads paved, and enhancing our beautiful parks, trails and lakes • Their record has transformed into key political support. Doug, Tom and Kathy are overwhelmingly endorsed by 168 Republican legislators, mayors, council people and party leaders! The Republican primary election is Tuesday, June 4th and polls are open from 6am until 8pm.

Cecil B. DeMille Celebrated at Pompton Lakes Film Festival

riends of the Pompton Lakes Library will bring the community together to celebrate Cecil B. DeMille’s films and his connection to Pompton Lakes this summer In his lifetime, American filmmaker, Cecil B. DeMille brought over 70 films to the silver screen. The Friends of the Pompton Lakes Library celebrates DeMille’s achievements and his connection to Pompton Lakes this summer during a Film Festival featuring four of his movies. The Festival will be held at Christ Church, the church the DeMille family attended for many years. The DeMille Film Festival is planned to run through June and July 2019. Four films to be announced will be shown at 6:00 p.m. on the following dates, June 11th, June 25th, July 2nd and July 16th. Commentary from local film historians will provide insight and discussion before each of the films. The Cecil B. DeMille Film Festival will be held at Pompton Lakes own Christ Church, where the DeMille family worshipped while they lived in the community. Movies will be shown on Tuesday evenings

during the months of June and July 2019. Four of DeMille’s most well-known titles will be featured and will bring to life the work of this epic film producer and director who hails from the Pompton Lakes area. This program is made possible in part by a grant administered by the Passaic County Cultural & Heritage Council from funds granted by the New Jersey State Council on the Arts. The Friends acknowledge all their local partners for making this Film Festival possible, including the Pompton Lakes Mayor’s Office and Council, the Pompton Lakes BID, the Passaic County Cultural & Heritage Council, NJ Smart Homes & Theater, Cardinal Framing, Christ Church, the Pompton Lakes Women’s Club, TV Land Café, The Pompton Lakes Historic Commission, and Members of the Friends of the Pompton Lakes Library. Steve Edgeller, President of the Pompton Lakes Library said, “We’re looking forward to showing some of DeMille’s most popular movies and are proud to be screening his films in the place history credits as the inspiration for much of his work.”

“Most of us serve our ideals by fits and starts. The person who makes a success of living is the one who sees his goal steadily and aims for it unswervingly.” Cecil B. DeMille The Friends of the Pompton Lakes Library is an independent non-profit volunteer organization working to further

the educational and informational needs of the community through its support of the Emanuel Einstein Memorial Library, also known as The Pompton Lakes Library. The Friends of the Pompton Lakes Library is a not for profit 501(c) (3) corporation.

Pompton Lakes Elementary Schools Create “Gratitude Wall”

By Steve Sears tudents from both Lenox and Lincoln Elementary Schools took part in a “Look for the Good” Gratitude Campaign. As part of the campaign, the students constructed a “Gratitude Wall”. Kate Vivino, Pompton Lakes Elementary Counselor, explains. “Every morning a member of the Flight Team would read a morning announcement about gratitude. During that announcement, every student in the school received a sticky note, on which they had to write something or someone they were grateful for. The Flight Team would then collect the sticky notes and add them to the Gratitude Wall – featured on a main hallway in each school. By the end of the program, we had over 6,000 sticky notes total on our Gratitude Walls.” Vivino ran the 5th grade group called the Cardinal Flight Team (23 students total – some from each school), which promotes different positive character traits throughout the school year and runs activities in the school to promote these traits. Vivino had the Flight Team promote and run the gratitude campaign at each school, and they then ran an assembly to explain what the Gratitude Campaign was and why it was created. The Flight Team then helped run the activities that were completed during the two-week campaign. “Look for the Good” was created social entrepreneur and author\illustrator, Anne Kubitsky. “Anne had been emailing schools to promote the project and ended up in touch with us. After discuss-

ing the two-week gratitude campaign with the principals of Lenox and Lincoln Schools, we decided to move forward with running the campaign.” Vivino says. The following students are members of the Cardinal Flight Team. From Lenox Elementary were Anthony D’Agostino, Leah Ciabattoni, Gianna Whittemore, Jonathan Popovich, Jaydon Pinkney, Jonah Pettibone, Jenna Khoudeir, Max Martinez, Tyler Whartnaby, Caprice Ezzo, John Falbo, Jensel Sanchez, and Sophia Adair. From Lincoln Elementary were Gianna Alloy, Gabriel Logan, Julianna Ayers, John Ligouri, Luana Queirolo, Amanda Fasolino, Katie Venin, Erik Argandona, Lennon Zsoldos, and Redon Xheladini. As previously mentioned, an assembly was held during which the campaign was launched. The Flight Team at each school rehearsed during recess for over a month, practicing their lines and working on their script. At Lenox School, 5th grade teacher Melissa Huha helped run the assembly and prepare the Flight Team with Vivino. At Lincoln School, Dana Aagaard (District Technology Coordinator) and Caitlin Thomas (Math Specialist) helped to prepare the students along with Vivino. During the assemblies, the students showed a video explaining why Anne Kubitsky created the program, explained the different components of the campaign, and read “gratitude letters” that they had written to various staff members and parents (who had come to watch them). “The staff members and parents were unaware

that the letters were going to be read and were completely surprised when their students/children read the letters

in from of the entire school,” adds Vivino. Also, “You Matter” cards were small orange continued on page 22

Gratitude Wall... continued from page 20 cards that were given to staff members and Flight Team members to give out throughout the twoweek campaign. They were tasked with giving the cards to anyone they saw being kind, or to someone who mattered to them. The receiver of the card would then pass it on to someone else they thought deserved a card as well. Finally, every student was tasked to write a thank you (or “Gratitude”) letter to someone who has changed their lives. They were challenged with reading the letter out loud to the recipient by the end of the two-week program. “The students,” says Vivino, “were able

to think about all of the things in their life they are grateful for. They were encouraged to consider a variety of different aspects of their lives including family, friends, food, hobbies,

skills, pets, and academics.” The program bore great fruit. One the last day of the program, 4th and 5th grade students took an online survey in order to help under-

stand how they felt about the program and its effectiveness. At both schools 92-93% of kids thought the program made everyone more kind, 81-82% of kids thought that there was less bullying during the program, and 97-98% of kids reported that they would recommend the “Look for the Good Project” to other schools. Vivino lauds “The Gratitude Campaign was a huge success at our elementary schools and staff members and students both expressed a desire to run the campaign again next year. We invited administration from the other schools to our assemblies to inspire them into running similar programs.”

Climbing Beyond Cancer:

Randolph Climbing Center Hosts Fundraiser No. 17 Vol. 1 for Epic Experience

n the evening of Saturday December 15, Randolph Climbing Center (RCC) hosted an event Climbing Beyond Cancer to fundraise for the organization Epic Experience. Epic Experience provides free weeklong adventure ex-

periences to adults who have been diagnosed with canacer. “Most organizations that existed at the time when Epic Experience was founded focused on kids or young adults. Epic Experience is the only one who does adults and all stages of Cancer, both

those currently in treatment and survivors,” says Sabine Schwab, who organized the event. Schwab, 36, of Roxbury, was diagnosed with brain cancer in 2014 at age 32, shortly after giving birth to her daughter. Her tumor was about the size of a golf

ball. “I had open brain surgery, six weeks of daily radiation, and a year of chemotherapy,” says Schwab. She is a brain cancer survivor of almost five years now and devotes much of her time volunteering. “I have dedicated my life to the cancer community. I serve on various boards, and I’m a speaker and advocate in the brain tumor community,” says Schwab. S c h wa b a ttended an Epic Experience camp in May 2015. Schwab’s experience brought her white water rafting on the Colorado River, among other activities. “It’s not just the adventures that bring the healing,” says Schwab, “they also make time for group discussions with commonly shared fears and questions along the cancer journey.” Schwab joined the

Alumni Board of Epic Experience as an Outreach Specialist in June 2015. In 2017, she became the Alumni Team lead, and in 2018 joined the Board of Directors. Schwab enjoys climbing at Randolph Climbing Center and thought it would be the perfect place to fundraise for Epic

Comfort Zone Camp: A Place for Grieving, Healing, and Growing

“I felt very alone, isolated, and different from everyone else my age,” says Pereira. “Going to Comfort Zone Camp helped me learn and understand that I was not alone and never will be in my grief journey.”

By Steve Sears ikki Russo, 25, painfully recalls that day when she was 11-years-old. Her dad had suffered a number of health ailments, and after a scheduled surgery to improve circulation in his legs was deemed successful, two days later he died from a massive heart attack. “My mom and I are very close now, but me and my dad just got each other.” Russo says. “We could just look at each other and know what each other were thinking. So, when I didn’t have that anymore, it was like a piece of my heart was taken away from me. I didn’t know what to do. I didn’t have anyone to talk to. When my dad was sick, I would walk to my bus stop every morning – it was like a rite of passage as a 6th grader, you could walk to the bus stop by yourself – and I would call him every morning. I couldn’t talk to him anymore; it was depressing. It was such a numbing experience that I don’t even remember the first year.” Katie Pereira, who is 24 years old, lost her dad, Franco Lalama, who was killed as he was helping folks exit the World Trade Center during the terrorist attacks on Sept. 11, 2001. She was just seven years old. “As a result of my dad’s death,” says Pereira, “I was very angry and did not know how to deal with all of the emotions that came with grief.”

Both discovered Comfort Zone Camp, a bereavement group for young people, and it worked wonders for both. “It was the first time I really cried talking to somebody about it,” claims Russo, a Union City elementary school teacher. “That was the first time I told people my story and really talked about it. It was very beneficial to me and my mom. I always say that Comfort Zone Camp saved me and my mom’s relationship, and I generally believe it saved my life, because I was going down a very bad, destructive path.” “I felt very alone, isolated, and different from everyone else my age,” says Pereira. “Going to Comfort Zone Camp helped me learn and understand that I was not alone and never will be in my grief journey.” An Operations Specialist with the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation, she also adds, “Comfort Zone helped me understand my emotions that I was feeling and helped me cope with my loss in a healthy way. I was very angry as a result of my dad’s death so being able to learn how to cope with my emotions at a young age helped shape who I am now.” Lynne Hughes founded Comfort Zone Camp in 1998, seven years before she wrote You Are Not Alone, a bereavement book for teens. Camp is currently held primarily in five states: Virginia, Florida, New Jersey, Massachusetts, and California. “My parcontinued on page 27

continued from page 26 ents died when I was young; my mom died when I was 9, and my dad when I was 12,” says Hughes. “I went to summer camp after my parents died and I loved it. Then, I always wanted to be a camp counselor after I graduated, and then I went to Michigan State when I was in college, and I found a camp outside of Michigan, and then I found one in the Poconos which was co-ed, and then I met someone who suggested we start our own camp.” Hughes was aware that there were no resources for grieving kids, not when she was a child and also when she entered adulthood. The awareness and her experience in camp as a child and then camp counselor encouraged her to combine both into a resource for youngsters who suffered from loss of a sibling or parent. Comfort Zone Camp filled and still fills the void. “Grieving kids grow up in isolation, they might be the only ones in their school or community. When they show up and they meet 60 or 70 other kids at a camp and they visually drink in that message, ‘Gosh, I’m not alone; we’re all here for the

same reason,’ it almost frees them up to step outside of their loss to get back to being a kid again.” Comfort Zone Camp has activities to allow kids to grieve, tell their stories, and teaches them skills that will help them in everyday life. The camp is open to individuals ages 7 to 25. Mitch Decter is a Comfort Zone Camp Board member. “I volunteered for my first camp in Richmond, Virginia, and shortly after the tragic events of 9/11, we promptly started to conduct camps for the families affected by the tragic events. Many of the children who

continued from page 27 attended the camps in 2001 now serve as “big buddies” at our camps. Eventually, we hosted many camps in the New York/ New Jersey area for any child who had suffered the loss of a parent or sibling.” Pereira, who is originally from New Jersey and now lives in North Carolina with her husband, has been involved with the camp since 2001, first as a camper, then a junior counselor, and now Big Buddy and volunteer. “It feels great to be able to give back to a place that gave me my life back.” Russo herself has attended Comfort Zone camp 25 times. “In the beginning in New Jersey, they would let campers go more than once a year. Once it became more popular and well known, I could only go once a year. Then I started volunteering as a counselor so that I could go to every camp.” “Many of our adult volunteers suffered a loss when they were a child,” adds Decter. “They always say that they wished there was something like Comfort Zone Camp when they were young. While the volunteers are there to support the children, they are also afforded the opportunity to talk about their loved ones and share the ways in which their loss influenced who they are today. The bond between little buddies and big buddies is extraordinary, and many of the friendships carry on beyond camp. One of my first little buddies was a 7-year-old boy named Tyler, who lost his dad on 9/11. He and I were paired together at camps for almost 10 years. I would visit him and his family from time-to-time and felt a responsibility to be a part of his life. At our most recent New Jersey camp, Tyler, who is now 25 years old, and I volunteered as big buddies together. I watched with such pride and felt like things had come full circle watching him be there for his little buddy.” Per Pereira, Comfort Zone Camp is a “truly magical place.” “You walk into your first camp wondering how it will be, but then when the weekend is over you don’t want to leave. The weekend is set up like a summer camp feel, but everything you do that weekend relates to grief in some way. I took everything I learned about grief and use those learnings in other aspects of life. When someone asks how you can explain Comfort Zone Camp, one word always comes to mind, and that is “bubble.” Comfort Zone Camp is a bubble. You enter into it and you get to be in that moment for the whole weekend and nothing else in your world matters that moment. Camp helps you cope with your death that you experienced in your life, but then you also learn how to cope with other losses that you may encounter throughout life. When one of your loved ones passes away you can also sometimes lose other things that relate to that loss.” Pereira offers the following to those who are not yet ready to share the feelings. “I would say that you do not have to share if you are not ready to. Sometimes you don’t have to say anything

to get everything that you need to help cope with your loss, but I would encourage everyone to attend a camp weekend because just being there in the camp bubble will help you cope and help guide you with your grief.” As previously noted by Russo, volunteers – aka “Big Buddies” – benefit as much as those they are aiding. “Absolutely,” agrees Hughes. “Every time you listen to how someone feels, every time you tell someone how you feel, whether you’re a child or an adult mentoring somebody, it gives it purpose and meaning as to why this adversity happened to you, so when you get to give that purpose and meaning to it, give back and pay it forward, it helps them to navigate their grief journey, and potentially make it easier for your own, it’s very rewarding.” “It helps you stay connected to your own loved one, too.” Decter agrees. “The most important benefit of Comfort Zone Camp is that the children who attend our camps learn that they are not alone in their grief journey. Many children report that they don’t like to talk about their loss when they are at school because they feel different and alienated. At camp, they are surrounded by other kids and volunteers who have experienced something similar to what they went through.” Comfort Zone Camp is held on the weekends all year round. Sign-up is done via the camp website by creating an account and profile, selecting a camp date, and then there is a screening process after sign-up. Comfort Zone Camp is free to all children. Activities are the same at all camps but could vary by time of the year. There is time for all-around kids fun, buy also time for breaking the attendees down by age into groups and placing them into grief support circles, which are called “healing circles,” led by a healing circle leader who is a mental health professional. Discussed are stories, feelings, grief in the body, how things have changed at home, talk about different skills, and more. “We know,” says Hughes, “we’re not going to cure or fix everything up during the course of the weekend, but what tools can we give them to help them navigate their day-to-day grief journey, as well as kind of prepare them for big milestones?” Examples are graduations and the like, but also preparing for not taking part in a Father/Daughter Dance for the first time. There are limited travel scholarships offered, so prospective attendees are directed to camps close to their home. More information is available on the Comfort Zone Camp website. “I am incredibly proud of my affiliation with Comfort Zone and it has been such a pleasure to see the positive results of many children who I have watched grow up,” says Decker. “We teach them that their grief journey never ends, it just becomes different over time. I hope that Comfort Zone Camp continues to grow so that continued on page 30

cont. from page 28 we can continue to support children who should never feel like they are alone. “Speaking of ‘grow”, volunteers (who are trained) are welcome, as are donations. Hughes says there are kids on a waiting list, so the goal is to get them off the list and into more camps. That, and camps of longer duration, are the goal. Decter adds, “Comfort Zone Camp is free to all families. Therefore, fundraising and corporate sponsorship are what allow us to serve as many grieving children as possible. The more money we are able to raise, the more children can attend camp. Right now, we have three camps scheduled in New Jersey for 2019 -- next year we would love to double that. In addition, we are

always looking for people to serve as big buddies. You do not have to had suffered a loss or have any professional experience. Instead, you can attend a training session and learn about what it means to serve as a big buddy.” Hughes speaks to the benefit of her founded, very worthwhile 501 (c) 3. “Comfort Zone Camp is important because kids break their isolation, get back to being a kid again, and get the opportunity to have the peace of their healing. We literally see kids blossom,

grow, and heal right in front of our eyes. And there’s nothing more powerful and humbling than being a part of that.” That is something both Russo and Pereira can attest to. “It’s still a rescue for me,” says Russo. “I get choked up just talking about it,” she continues through tears. “I have a boyfriend, and I wish my dad was here now to meet him, talk to him, because I know they would get along. Just going to camp as a Big Buddy now is my saving grace. I get to give advice
