Wayne Couple Save Elderly Pair From House Fire

By Jason Cohen Wayne couple put their lives on the line when they rescued two people from a burning home recently. On June 14, Al-Raheem Thomas and Unique Zapata, both 27, were on the way home from their daughter Harmony’s kindergarten graduation ceremony at James Fallon Elementary School when they suddenly saw smoke coming from a residence on Alps Road. “From down the block you could have seen it (the smoke) as you got closer,” Zapata said. Zapata is a volunteer with the Wayne Township Memorial First Aid Squad and Thomas is doing field training for the Wayne Police Department.

Emergency responders were not on the scene yet, so they quickly pulled over, called 911 and proceeded to help. As they got out of their car they immediately saw a boat in the backyard engulfed in flames and a man attempting to extinguish it. They asked him if anyone was inside and he said his parents. Before they went in the house Thomas told their son to put down the water hose because it was only making the fire worse. So, without hesitation the two of them went in. “When we went in the house the flames were spreading,” Zapata said. Zapata and Thomas explained that even though they were putting themselves in danger their first thought was to help the people inside. They found the elderly husband and wife and got them to safety before the fire could reach the house. Thomas noted that mother seemed confused and out of it, while the father understood what was taking place. They were not injured, but the son burnt his face and arms in his attempt to extinguish the fire. “I think if we didn’t have the training we wouldn’t have acted like we did,” Zapata said. “Some others would have tried to take out the fire instead of just taking the person out of the house.” The fire department arrived on scene

quickly and put out the fire. Since their heroic actions they have been praised by friends, family and colleagues at the police department and first aid squad. However, they both stressed they didn’t rescue the people for the recognition. “We didn’t do it to be honored,” Thomas said. “We did to help people.” Added Zapata, “That’s just me genuinely, I like help people. I’m going to school for nursing. That’s how my heart is.”

nrollment is now open at the Chabad Hebrew School in Wayne for the coming school year. Classes are open for children from the age of 5. The school’s success is measured by the satisfaction and enthusiasm of all of the students and their parents. “My child has learned so much in just one short year,” said one parent. “Jessica is always looking forward and excited to come

Wayne Thrift Shop Rings In Six Decades Of Dedicated Volunteers And Endless Donations

By Stefanie Sears elebrating its 60th year with new shelves, thousands of dollars for student scholarships and endless donations of clothing and collectibles, this local thrift shop looks forward to what’s in store every passing day, including ideas for a new logo. The Wayne Council of PTOs Browse N Shop Thrift Store, founded in December 1958, was created by the Wayne Council of PTOs to raise money for scholarships for the local high school seniors at Wayne Hills and Wayne Valley High Schools while simultaneously help the community and environment. “We provide an affordable shopping location for people in the nearby communities whilst raising scholarship funds for Wayne students,” says store manager Anny A. Cameron. “Items are kept out of landfills and donators know exactly where their items are going and who it benefits.” This year, it raised $33,700. Cameron continues to run the Wayne Council of PTOs Browse N Shop Thrift Store along with adult volunteers and two student workers, Ala and Olivia, from the Wayne

Hills High Structured Learning Environment, a program that helps high school students and graduates with disabilities learn how to be in a work environment alongside a job coach. Cameron sings the praises of one individual, Wayne Hills High School 2018 graduate Christopher Colella, who volunteered every day after school and named Volunteer Student of the Year by the shop. He will be attending Montclair State University in the fall. “He maintained our on-line Craigslist, NJ Family and Patch presences, researched donated collectibles and artwork,” says Cameron. “He completed well over 150 volunteer hours this school year. Chris made the choice to voluntarily help his community daily - donating more of his time than anyone else at the shop!” The store’s most popular product is clothing, with most garments running for only $1, but it collects plenty of different donations throughout the week. “Towards the end of the school year we had over 200 pieces of cut crystal donated at once so our store is currently glittering,” says Cameron. In fact, according to Cam-

eron, the collections this year were some of the most memorable moments for the store. “It’s incredible when someone donates a collection because others will follow suit,” Cameron explains, “At various points through the year we had

at least 50 pieces of hammered aluminum, crystal vases, glass paperweights, artwork, glass decanters, antique china.” Other donations the shop has received include hundreds of First Day stamps and bonds continued on page 6

Wayne Thrift Shop... continued from page 4 from a retiring collector, dozens of signed canvases stemming back to the 1970s from a retired art teacher, and costume jewelry. “There is definitely a sense of history!” says Cameron of the various older items they receive. “People who donate collections typically have a story to go with them. That story passes on to us and then the customer. This differentiates us from chain thrift stores where all pieces lack context. I love being able to say ‘these copper pieces were from a Wayne resident’s collection’ or ‘hat handmade stool came all the way from Alaska.’ We have a donator who knits throws and I love being able to say ‘this took her this many weeks.’ Sometimes we get new item donations (excess stock) from local stores and we’ll have to explain why we suddenly have dozens of wrapped Precious Moments figurines or 15 new Olaf teddy bears are staring as soon as you walk in. Every day is unexpected.” One customer even began a Memorial Library to honor her parents, purchasing 10 cent books from the thrift store and donating them to New Jersey teachers for their classrooms. Customers also buy 10 cent stuffed animals to donate to the police departments to hand out to children. “We really do know the nicest people,” says Cameron. The store in turn donates

clothing and books to homeless organizations. Currently the Wayne Council of PTOs Browse N Shop Thrift Store is undergoing some brief makeovers. Because a friend of the store is selling her home, she decided to donate to them assorted display and storage shelves. Due to the store’s lack of a budget for new items, this was quite a beneficial addition for them. The change is actually perfect timing, for the store is also celebrating its 60th anniversary this year. Although shop organizers are not planning anything special, they would love to have someone redesign their logo. The Wayne Council of PTOs Browse N Shop Thrift Store is open Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. from September to June. It is also always open to help neighboring organizations.

Dramatic Sales Tax Change

he U.S. Supreme Court issued a ruling in the South Dakota vs Wayfair case that opens the door for states to impose sales tax on sellers outside their borders. The case highlights a new standard of business presence called “economic nexus” that may have major implications for businesses and consumers alike. Economic nexus explained The exact definition varies, but in general, economic nexus makes a connection between a taxing authority (usually a state) and a seller based on certain sales or transaction levels. The Supreme Court agrees with South Dakota that having economic presence is enough to require an out-ofstate retailer to register with the state to collect and remit sales tax. For example, the state of South Dakota mandates that if a retailer has $100,000 in annual in-state sales or has 200 separate in-state sales transactions over the previous 12 months, they must collect sales tax on all sales in South Dakota. What it means for businesses • New, lower threshold for tax exposure: Sales tax nexus was mostly determined by physical presence. If a business has an of-

fice or employee located in a state, they likely were required to collect tax on sales in that state. The economic nexus standard removes the physical presence requirement with this ruling. Businesses now may need to compare sales-by-state data to the individual state economic nexus laws to determine whether they have a sales tax obligation in that state. • More tax registrations & filings: Businesses that sell outside their state may need to register in many more states – maybe all 50. With more registrations come more compliance management and more sales tax returns that need to be filed on an ongoing basis. The impact on workload for sales tax staffs could be huge. • Increased audit potential: With each new state registration comes a new potential audit authority. Sales tax audits almost always bring in additional revenue for states, so they will be looking to capitalize on the increased registrations. Sales tax compliance management is more important than ever and could lead to state income tax changes. What’s next? As many as 16 states have economic nex-

us laws in place to try to take advantage of the new ruling, with many more to introduce legislation. By nature, Internet retailers will be hit the hardest and are expected to lobby in states that have not passed economic nexus laws. In addition, it will take states some time to get their systems updated to handle the new laws and increased filings. While there might be some short-term delays during implementation, sales tax changes appear to be on their way. Robert P.

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 as 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 (HSUS) said can be both uncomfortable and dangerous for pets. In an effort to help pet owners 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 dangerous 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 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 of such dogs reduce their exposure to the sun on hot days when the UV index is especially dangerous. Let dogs inside. Doghouses might not be as prevalent as they once were, but many owncontinued on page 9

Protect Your Pets From Extreme Heat...

continued from page 8 ers still keep doghouses in their backyards so their four-legged friends have a place to relax outdoors on lazy afternoons. But doghouses can be similar to parked cars on especially hot days, making rising temperatures feel even hotter. Let dogs hang out inside in an air conditioned room on hot days to reduce their risk of heatstroke. Learn to recognize the signs of heatstroke. Pets suffering from heatstroke will exhibit certain symptoms, and pet owners who learn to recognize those symptoms can do something about them before it’s too late. 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. Animals that are very old, very young, overweight, and unaccustomed to prolonged exercise, as well as those who have

heart or respiratory conditions, are especially susceptible to heatstroke. Learn more about pets and heatstroke at www. humanesociety.org. Extreme heat can be dangerous to pets, who often suffer in silence when dealing with the consequences of extreme heat. Pet owners who take certain precautions and learn to recognize signs of a pet struggling with heat can better protect their animals from succumbing to rising temperatures.

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.

5 Tips To Aid Performance In The Classroom

ith all the stress of a new school year, it can be difficult for students to readjust to a healthy routine, but many experts agree that sleep is among the most important parts of that routine. Numerous studies demonstrate that children who sleep better learn better. While you’re busy shopping for pencils, book bags and notebooks, remember that a good night’s sleep should also be at the top of your list this season. Make the transition easier with these five tips from Dr. Sujay Kansagra, director of Duke University’s Pediatric Neurology Sleep Medicine Program and a sleep health consultant for Mattress Firm: Ease into earlier bedtimes. For many children, the sudden shift to an earlier bedtime and

wake-up call can pose a big challenge. Children who were accustomed to falling asleep later at night during the summer will have to slowly adjust their body clocks to move bedtime earlier during the school year. To ease children into the earlier sleep schedule, start moving bedtimes earlier by 10-15 minutes each night until reaching your end goal. Ensure a comfortable sleeping environment. Pay attention to factors like lighting and noise. It may be necessary, especially early in the school year when the days are still long, to add blackout curtains to help block bright light. If noise is a factor, consider adding some soft background music or a sound machine to serve as a buffer so other noises are less intrusive. Be sure the bed is up to the

task. Another environmental consideration is the bed itself. Mattresses are not always topof-mind as you consider backto-school shopping, but when sleep can have such an impact on your child’s educational performance, the right mattress can help ensure students are getting quality zzz’s at the start of a new school year. Avoid bright light prior to bedtime. Aside from your window, there are also other sources of light that can affect sleep. Several studies have shown that excess screen time just before bed can have a negative impact on the brain’s ability to transition into sleep mode. Try curbing screen time well before bedtime, or if your child must use screens, engage the night-reading feature, which alters the hue of the light for less impact.

Develop a consistent nighttime routine. A routine performed 20-30 minutes prior to bed every night can subconsciously ease children’s brains into sleep. A ritual that involves bathing, brushing teeth, talking about the day’s events, discussing what’s ahead for tomorrow and quiet time with a book are all ways to unwind together and slow down those active minds for a transition toward a peaceful night’s rest. Remember that sleep is vital for memory retention and cognitive performance. Without it, children may experience behavioral problems and other difficulties in school.

Six Ways To Help Prevent Bullying

utting an end to bullying is everyone’s responsibility. Whether at home, school or elsewhere, it’s important that we’re proactive.

Here are five ways that kids and parents can do their part. 1. Don’t be a bystander. It’s true that it takes a lot of courage to stand out from the crowd and defend a victim of bullying. After all, the risk is that you’ll become the next target simply for speaking up. But reporting bullying and being there for someone who needs it are actions you’ll be proud of for the rest of your life. 2. Stop sibling bullying at home. You may think it’s harmless, but it’s not. Disdainful eye rolling, relentless teasing, humiliating taunts, hitting and verbal abuse directed at a sibling can cause depression and anxiety. Make sure your home is a safe place for everybody who lives there. 3. Enlist the help of adults. If you see a need for increased adult supervision at high-risk times and places at school or at home, ask for help from a trusted adult. 4. Get on board with an anti-bullying campaign at school. These campaigns show kids that bullying is not cool and won’t be tolerated any longer. Make an anti-bul-

lying banner and use social media to advertise the fact that you stand up against verbal and physical violence. 5. Parents: get involved. If your child is a victim of bullying, you need to take the situation seriously. Schools, the police and child psychology experts vigorously object to the belief that bullying is a childhood rite of passage. If the problem doesn’t stop, talk to the school authorities, and then to the police if there are no further improvements. At home, be vigilant about sibling bullying, and make it stop. 6. Pay attention to cyberbullying. Those who use cell phones, internet or other devices for social media interaction open themselves up to the latest form of bullying. Parents, be aware and get involved. Teach your child proper usage of these devices and reinforce that sending any text, message or photo that is cruel, hateful or threatening is as harmful as face to face bullying. Learn about the internet and pay attention to what your child is doing online. All users should be taught cyberethics and the law to prevent cyberbullying. Don’t be a victim. Don’t be a cyberbully. Bullying is no longer seen as a normal rite of passage for children; it’s a preventable behaviour that we can eradicate through education, awareness and action.

School Bus Safety 101

or millions of school-age children in the United States, each day begins – and ends – with a bus ride. While the school bus is the safest way to travel to and from school, according to the National Association of Pupil Transportation (NAPT), it’s important for parents to teach their children how to stay safe in and around the school bus as obstructed views, distracted drivers and more can put kids at risk. These tips from the experts at NAPT and the Propane Education & Research Council (PERC) provide parents with some additional measures to take and lessons to teach to increase safety going to and from the bus, and even during the ride. Before the Bus Arrives • Ensure backpacks are packed securely so papers and

other items don’t scatter as the bus approaches. • Create a morning routine that puts kids at the bus stop five minutes before the scheduled pickup time. This helps avoid a last-minute rush, when safety lessons are easily forgotten, and ensures kids are safely in place for boarding. • Encourage children to wear bright, contrasting colors so they can be seen easier by drivers. • Walk young children to the bus stop or encourage kids to walk in groups. There is safety in numbers; groups are easier for drivers to see. • If kids must cross a street, driveway or alley, remind them to stop and look both ways before crossing. • Verify the bus stop location offers good visibility for the bus driver; if changes are needed, talk with nearby

homeowners or school district officials to implement changes. Never let kids wait in a house or car, where the driver may miss seeing them approach the bus. • Remind children that the bus stop is not a playground. Balls or other toys could roll

into the street and horseplay can result in someone falling into the path of oncoming traffic. • Instruct children to stay at least three steps away from the road and allow the bus to come to a complete stop before apcontinued on page 14

5 Back-To-School Shopping Tips To Buy More Time

t’s that time of year again. Parents are preparing for the rush of back-to-school with a seemingly never-ending todo list. As you run around to purchase school supplies, uniforms and sneakers it can be a busy and expensive time of year. Tackle back-to-school season with these tips to save money and maybe even help you buy back a little time before the school bell rings. Get the kids involved before you leave home. Jumping in the car and hoping for the best as you travel from store to store isn’t likely to net much more than a headache – especially with the kids in tow. Instead, get them involved before hitting the shops and have them browse online retailers and catalogs. With a list in hand, you can plan your trip before you leave the house or take advantage of free shipping or in-store pick-up offered by many retailers. Shop early and often. The back-to-school season seems

to get earlier every year and many retailers offer deals each week on everyday school supplies and electronics. For those looking to save, shop early and often during the 3-4 weeks leading up to your child’s start date and subscribe to retailer newsletters online for deals delivered directly to your inbox. Check sizes before you start. You may know there are three good pairs of jeans in your child’s drawer, but the first cold morning of fall is no time to discover that they’re now an inch too short. Before you shop, try on what you already have to determine whether it’s time to size up and get a better idea of what needs replaced. Anticipate the need for (more) new shoes. One inevitable truth about kids: they grow, seemingly overnight. All the hours you spend shopping can feel futile when your child needs a new pair of shoes just weeks after school starts. To save time and money, be ready when your kids hit their next growth spurt with subscription

services like EasyKicks. Delivered on-demand, it offers the latest Nike and Converse sneakers for preschoolers through teens. When kids are ready for a new pair, simply swap them for a new size or style and return the old pair in a prepaid envelope to be donated or recycled. Sign up and learn more at easykicks.com. Double-up on everyday supplies. If possible, buy back-up school supplies while you’re making the rounds – especially if you spot a buy-one, get-one-

free deal. If your school supply list asks for one box of crayons, buy an extra set and put it aside in a designated drawer at home. Without fail, kids will run out of notepads or pencils at some point during the year, and you can send in fresh supplies without another trip to the store. Armed with these tips, your time spent back-to-school shopping should be shorter and your stress levels – and credit card bill – lower. Family Features

tract the driver. That includes cellphones and other electronic devices; instruct children to put them on mute or use headphones. Leaving the Bus • Remind children to look before stepping off the bus. If they must cross the street, teach them to do so in front of the bus by taking five big steps (approximately 10 feet) away from the front of the bus, looking up and waiting for the driver to signal that it is safe. • For parents who meet their kids at the bus, remember that in their excitement kids may dart across the street. Eliminate the risk by waiting on the side of the street where kids exit the bus. • Make the bus ride part of

your daily “how was school?” discussion. Encourage kids to talk about the things they see and hear on the bus so you can discuss appropriate behaviors and, if necessary, report any concerns to school administrators. As bullying is prevalent

and buses are no exception, ask your child to tell you about any bullying they observe, whether against another child or themselves, and talk about how to shut down bully behaviors. Family Features

School Bus Safety 101... continued from page 13 proaching it. On the Bus Ride • When boarding the bus, items can get bumped and dropped. Caution children that before picking anything up, they should talk to the driver and follow instructions to safely retrieve their possessions. • Teach safe riding habits: stay seated with head, hands and feet inside at all times; keep bags and books out of the aisle and remain seated until the bus stops moving. • Instruct children to never throw things on the bus or out the windows and to never play with or block emergency exits. • Remind kids that just like when riding in a car, loud noises are off limits so they don’t dis-

ost parents know the first few weeks of school season and new daily routines can be hectic. From stocking up on school supplies to finishing up homework, there’s few unused minutes in the day. One thing that’s particularly easy to forget in the mad dash to catch the bus or make it to morning drop-off is a well-balanced, protein-packed breakfast. According to a No Kid Hungry study, when students have a balanced breakfast in the morning, they are more likely to attend school and perform better on standardized tests. Start the school year off right by giving your kids a breakfast they’ll love that also provides the protein they need to kick-start their day. Recipes like Simple Ham and Waffle Breakfast Sandwiches or

Baked Eggs in Avocado can be ready in minutes and provide fuel long past the first morning school bell. As a simple time-saver, Smithfield offers pre-diced, cubed and sliced ham that can make breakfast a breeze any day of the week. Incorporate it into a simple breakfast sandwich for a protein boost you can enjoy on-the-go. Served crispy or chewy depending on your preference, Thick Cut continued on page 16

Pictured are students from Fallon and Lafayette Elementary Schools with instructor Jennifer Carr. Fallon, Lafayette & Theunis Elementary schools were the final schools to receive the BABES classes during the 2017-2018 school season.

eginning Awareness Basic Education Studies is a primary prevention program designed to give children a lifetime of protection from substance abuse. BABES instructor Jennifer Carr, also a local mom, accomplishes this by assisting young people in developing positive living skills by providing them with accurate, non-judgmental information about the use and abuse of alcohol and other drugs. The program is brought to the schools by the Wayne Alliance for the Prevention of Substance Abuse with a grant from the Governor’s Council Against Alcohol and Drug Abuse. The grant typically covers three schools. However, Robbin Gulino, Wayne Alliance coordinator, said: “We are grateful to have received a grant, this year, from Chilton Medical Center, allowing us to bring this awareness to all nine elementary schools. Today’s children are tomorrow’s future. By de-

veloping a strong self-esteem, our hope is that children will grow into adulthood with a confident and healthy outlook; able to cope with the problems facing today’s youth, including among other issues; pregnancy, depression, suicide and alcohol and other drug abuse.” More information about the BABES program can be found at http://babesworld.org/aboutbabesworld/. The Wayne Alliance is funded in part by a grant from the Governor’s Counsel Against Alcohol and Drug Abuse and Wayne Township. Located in the Health Department, the Alliance meets monthly on the third Monday at 7 p.m. and third Wednesday at noon of every month. Volunteers are needed. For more information, to join or donate call 973-6941800, ext. 3244, or email alliance@waynetownship.com or visit the Alliance’s Facebook page at www.facebook.com/ waynealliance.

t a recent Shabbat at Temple Beth Tikvah in Wayne, all volunteers were honored. Janice Paul, past president and ever-present volunteer,

was presented with the coveted George Rafes Award. The Rafes Award is given annually to a member who serves Temple Beth Tikvah with heartfelt devotion and limitless time.

Did You Know?

ueling an indoor or outdoor wood-burning fire requires plenty of wood. That means having ample firewood at the ready and, perhaps more importantly, keeping that wood dry. Storing wood so it remains dry and ready to use can involve different strategies. For starters, it is important to keep firewood off the ground. Wood that comes in contact with soil creates a natural habitat for organisms that consume wood, including insects, bacteria and fungi. A basic wood-storing structure can keep wood off of the floor. It’s also important to know whether your wood is green or currently wet. To burn efficiently, firewood needs to be dry. Wet wood needs ample circulation to dry out,

and green wood (wood that has been recently cut) needs time to dry out and become seasoned. Therefore, people should resist the urge to completely cover wood piles; otherwise, air cannot reach the wood. Circulation is important for dry, seasoned wood. A tarp that covers the top of the wood and allows rain water to cascade down but still enables breezes to blow through the firewood is ideal. Moisture will also be able to escape, and the tarp will keep the majority of the wood dry in the process. Similarly, stack the wood away from a wall or other surface, even if that is another stack of wood. This will also facilitate air circulation. While most people store dried wood outside,
