New Principals Welcomed In Wayne School District

By Jason Cohen wo people who have worked in the Wayne School District for several years will begin the school year as new principals. On June 21, the Wayne Board of Education approved the hiring of two new principals. Jeff Wojcik was appointed principal of Randall Carter Elementary School and Suzana Adamo named principal of A.P. Terhune Elementary School. They began their new positions July 1. Wojcik has served as an assistant principal in Wayne for the last five years and realized it was time to make the next step up the ladder. “I wanted to be able to impact more students on a daily basis,” Wojcik said. “Every year I have worked in education the year starts with the butterflies in my stomach as that anxious excitement builds up waiting

to greet the students. I am honored and humbled that the community has afforded me the opportunity to work as their school leader.” Wojcik, who is entering his sixth year in the Wayne district, has lived in New Jersey his entire life and has spent 14 years as an educator. When he was young, he had dreams of being a doctor and saving the world from diseases. However, in college he didn’t enjoy the lack of personal connection that came from research. At the time he was doing a lot of tutoring and decided he wanted to instead share his passion for learning with others. Wojcik is a graduate of the University of Scranton. Prior to working in Wayne, Wojcik taught at Bergen County Academies and Passaic Valley High School. During that time, he worked as a math team coach traveling the country with students in grades three through 12. While working in an administrative role is quite different than teaching, he will always miss the classroom and the interaction with students. “They(students) are amazing and the

joy of success on their faces is like nothing else,” he said. “Teaching is such an amazing job because you are always with students. For me the goal is to be with the kids all the time in my new role as well. They are the reason that we all do this.” During his time in Wayne, he worked as an assistant principal at Wayne Hills High School and as a shared assistant principal between the middle schools. He supervised several subjects including, math, science, fine and performing arts and transitional special education. Wojcik has worked on several program implementations in the district, including the enVision Math and Exploring Science series. Looking ahead to the school year, Wojcik knows he must be accessible to all students and parents, and that there are many challenges ahead for him. “I believe that the toughest challenges stem from the unknown,” Wojcik explained. “We are always trying to plan for the unseen however some days don’t go as expected and my job is to help balance for everyone the crazy and that can be difficult continued on page 4

She was a graduate of the Pratt Institute in New York and an accomplished artist. For refreshments, there will be hors d’oeuvres by Viaggio Ristorante of Wayne accompanied by wine, beer and nonalcoholic beverages. Jazz pianist Gary Mancinelli will entertain on the piano. A highlight of the event is a Silent Auction of carefully selected items. The Festival of Friends is sponsored by Lakeland Bank. Wayne residents Dorothy and John Knippenberg donated the property that is now Laurelwood Arboretum to the Township of Wayne. Friends of Laurelwood Arboretum was created by a group of Dorothy’s friends who wanted to ensure that the arboretum would be preserved as a natural oasis as

it transitioned to a public park. In 2003, Friends of Laurelwood Arboretum was incorporated as a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization. When Dorothy died in 2006, the organization assumed responsibility for management of the arboretum, in accordance with an agreement with Wayne Township. Today, Friends of Laurelwood Arboretum is an all-volunteer nonprofit organization whose mission is to preserve, promote and improve the arboretum and provide opportunities for horticultural appreciation and education through public programs and outreach activities. Membership has grown to more than 450, with 200-plus volunteers working to support the organization and maintain the park. Friends of Laurelwood Arboretum is funded by membership dues, plant sales and donations from individuals and businesses.

New Principals Welcomed... continued from front page at time.” Wojcik is married to Sarah and has two daughters, Zoe, 8 and Abigail, 6. He is an avid reader of fantasy and science fiction, with Harry Potter being one of his favorite series. He is also a lifelong N.J. Devils and New York Giants fan. He looks forward to sharing his passion for students and education with the Randall Carter Community. Looking back at his life, he said he doesn’t regret not going into the medical field. “We have the best job in the world as we get to go to school for the rest of our lives,” he said. “Education is the great equalizer and we get to be at the forefront helping students question and perceive the world. I believe it is our duty to help the next generation do better than we did, and the only way they can grow is through information.” According to a school district press release, Adamo began her college studies at New Jersey City University, earning a bachelor’s in education. She later continued her studies at St. Peter’s University receiving

a master’s in education, and a second master’s in educational technology from Ramapo College. Her teaching career began with the North Bergen Board of Education in 1985, where she worked for three years. While working in North Bergen, Adamo taught second grade and later basic skills to students at the elementary and middle school level. Prior to making the decision to remain home for a period of time to raise her children, she taught third grade in the Wyckoff Township Public Schools. In 2006, she returned to teaching in, accepting a reading specialist position with the Wayne Township Public Schools. In addition to her responsibilities as a reading specialist, she was also the testing coordinator. Adamo provided many professional development workshops to teachers throughout the school district. In her spare time, Adamo enjoys traveling and spending time with her husband, Al and their three daughters, Amanda, Vanessa and Melissa.

n a late July evening, a group of Wayne Rotarians and their families brought a full-blown Christmas party to the residents at the Preakness Health Care Center. There were lots of gifts “wrapped” in colorful yellow Rotary bags, a Santa Claus and entertainment. The Pettit Sis-

Goodbye Summer. Hello Class.

he sultry melody of August quietly fades as the high-intensity sounds of September take center stage. Stores are stocked with school supplies and TV commercials send a message to households nationwide that preparations are underway for a new school year. Some children may be eager to put the summer behind them, happily awaiting the adventures of a new grade with friends they may not have seen all summer, but there will be others who may be more hesitant about entering into the new school year, as they anxiously consider new schedules, peer pressures and homework. Parents may wrestle with their own mixed emotions as highly prized time together, which the summer condones, must now be set aside in order

to put things in order for ten months of academics, sports activities, social events and work schedules which all vie for everyone’s time, attention, and energy. Having homeschooled all four of my children over the course of 18 years, I understand all too well how overwhelming it may feel to sort all the mixed emotions and land in a good place with everyone feeling confident, prepared and peaceful about the year ahead. However, a few strategies have worked so well for us that they’ve become a highly anticipated tradition that ushers in the school year with smiles and readiness. Select a day and time for little ones to personalize their supplies and materials using fancy markers, stickers, and drawings, which serve to cre-

ate feelings of freedom, creativity, and promotes a sense of self. Explore styles of clothing with older children, discussing what they’d like to wear, working together to bring about a satisfying and appropriate sense of self expression. Set aside a date on the cal-

endar to meet together as a family in order to celebrate the dreams, goals, and missions your child hopes to achieve in the year. Use this time to hand out your child’s personalized supplies and materials and allow him or her to inspect and familiarize themselves with the continued on page 11

What To Know About Sharing A Bed With Pets

ets provide companionship for thousands of people around the world, so it is understandable that pet owners want to be around their companion animals as much as possible - with many even welcoming them into their beds. According to PetMd, an online animal healthcare resource, around 80 percent of pet owners allow pets to share beds with human family members. Data from the American Pet Products Association has found at least half of all pet parents allow pets to sleep with them every night. Whether this is safe, healthy, or wise is a matter of debate. There are pros and cons to sharing a bed with pets. Understanding those pros and cons can help pet owners make more

informed decisions. Pro: Get into a relaxed state. Companion animals can help relieve stress, which may translate into better sleep for their owners. Some people find that the rhythmic breathing of dogs or cats can help lull them to sleep. Con: Possible transmission of illness or zoonotic agents.

Snuggling so close to a pet may put people at risk of acquiring illnesses that are transmitted from animal to human. In the past, MRSA skin infections and H1N1 influenza have been transferred from pets to people. Pro: Pets are warm. If the goal is to get cozy under the covers, animals can provide

a little extra warmth, as their body temperatures run a few degrees warmer than their owners’. Con: An extra body in bed can disturb sleep. Just as individuals may have trouble with a spouse or a child being in the bed next to them, pets can bring about the same disturbances. In a study from the Mayo Clinic Sleep Disorders Center, 53% of pet owners surveyed said their pets disturbed their sleep in some way each night. Dogs that snore and cats that chase “prey” around the room can disturb their owners’ sleep. Pro: A deeper connection forms between pet and owner. Many pets like to be around continued on page 11

Sharing A Bed With Pets... continued from page 10 their owners because it gives them reassurance and comfort that they are loved. Animals that were rescued or are anxiety prone may be especially comforted by snuggling in bed with their owners. Happy pets often make for happy owners. Con: It may cause behavioral problems. Dogs in particular may mistake sleeping in their owners’ beds as a sign of dominance. Some veterinarians suggest puppies that are more prone to issues with aggression may fully develop these behaviors if allowed to sleep with humans. At the very least, it is advisable to wait until dogs are trained and exhibiting good behavior for extended periods of time before allowing them to sleep in their owners’ beds. Pro: It’s a sign of trust. According to Victoria Stilwell, an internationally renowned dog

trainer, dogs only sleep with the people or dogs they trust. Therefore, dogs who like sleeping with their owners are exhibiting trust and recognizing the same from their owners. Whether or not to allow dogs or cats to share personal spaces like beds, is a decision pet owners have to make. It should be based on safety, comfort, and mutual agreement with any other bed partners. 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.

Goodbye Summer... continued from page 8 material they’ll be studying. Plan a play date with other classmates, eliminating the fear of entering classrooms with peers they’ve never met before or don’t know well yet. Visit the school grounds and classes, if possible, before school starts, reducing the anxiety of an unfamiliar environment. Meet teachers either in person or by visiting the school website to view teacher bios and class plans for the year, creating a sense of familiarity. Discuss first impressions of teachers, peers, school curriculum, and class plans, which helps to process the various raw emotions in the safe, non-judgmental environment of home. September is a month of be-

ginnings and the perfect time to come along side our children as they transition from the casual ease of August to the high intensity of September. Whether the family is in preparation mode or classes have already begun, having tools and strategies to implement will set the stage for a winning year and ease them into an amazing season of learning and growth with confidence.

Lead East Introduces New Generation To The ‘50’s

By Elsie Walker hirty-five years ago, Terry Cook from Delahaya USA in Chester started a car show that turned into an event like no other: Lead East, known as the world’s biggest ‘50’s party. The event grew to become a journey back in time to the music, dance, movies, and sights of the 1950s. After the last Lead East, Cook decided to retire to write a book. However, the party isn’t over. Four longtime Lead East attendees from the Hope area have taken ownership of the event and Jim Craig of Great Meadows has become event coordinator. With these changes, Lead East still features an abundance of classic cars, but it is morphing from a party into a festival of the 1950s, with more offerings for kids than in the past. Classic cars

are still a big part of it, as is the spirit of giving. Lead East will run from Thursday, Aug. 30 to Sunday, Sept. 2 at the Parsippany Hilton. “We want to open the door to more generations and introduce other generations to the ‘50’s,” explained Craig. He compares attending Lead East to being beamed up to a spaceship and taken back in time. Things were different then. “In the ‘50s, everything was American; it was an American phenomenon,” he said. Lead East has always had the sounds of rock and roll bands and accapella do-wop groups, the look of ‘50s fashion like poodle skirts and greased back hair, plus a traditional prom and even Elvis sightings. Now, it is offering more for not only those who remember the ‘50s, but those experiencing it

Simple, Satisfying Weeknight Solutions

ectic daytime schedules can often lead to even busier evenings, which makes putting dinner on the table in less than an hour a valuable time-saver for home chefs. Balancing a busy lifestyle with healthy food choices can certainly become a tall task, but making filling, nutritious meals a priority starts with planning and preparation. One way to set the course toward more quality weeknight meals at home is planning in advance rather than making day-of decisions. Ensuring you have the correct ingredients on-hand can make meal prep a simpler process once it’s time to get started in the kitchen. By focusing meals on recipes that incorporate easy-to-use, versatile ingredients like Filippo Berio vinegars, you can have flavorful main courses, sides and appetizers ready in under an hour. The vinegars are allergen free, cholesterol free, trans fat free and GMO free, making them an ideal addition to healthy menus. For example, while waiting for a meal

to bake, Green Bean, Asparagus and Goat Cheese Salad with Honey Dijon Vinaigrette can keep appetites at bay and help incorporate nutritious vegetables. Follow your salad with a main dish like this Honey-Balsamic Glazed Salmon, which involves just a handful of ingredients and seasonings, leading to just 5 minutes of prep time and 20 minutes in the oven. Greek-Style Roasted Sweet Potato Salad makes for an ideal complementary side dish, enhanced with a red wine dressing made with Filippo Berio Red Wine Vinegar for a pleasantly sharp taste that’s a welcome addition to an array of recipes. When a light yet filling meal is attainable in less time, you can focus on nutritious choices even on the busiest of evenings. Find more quick, simple recipe ideas at FilippoBerio.com.

Local Nonprofit Foundation Receives Federal Money To Help Those With Paralysis

By Dawn M. Chiossi oday’s Care, Tomorrow’s cure:” This is the inspiring mission of the Christopher and Dana Reeve Foundation. On July 1, the Christopher and Dana Reeve Foundation in Short Hills received a three year, 6.5 million dollar federal grant to help people who are living with spinal cord injuries and other conditions that cause paralysis. Some of these conditions include spinal cord injury, multiple sclerosis (MS), amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, (ALS), stroke, spina bifida and cerebral palsy. This money will aid these people in the many battles and challenges they face on a daily basis, enhancing their lives. The foundation is the recip-

“

ient of the National Paralysis Resource Center cooperative agreement from the Administration for Community Living. The Reeve Foundation has operated the Paralysis Resource Center (PRC) for approximately 16 years. Quality of life: Everyone strives to obtain it, the enjoyment and independence that make life worth living. So many people take it for granted. But having quality of life is often difficult, if not nearly impossible, when people have physical disabilities impeding their way. But those from the Short Hills based Christopher and Dana Reeve Foundation seek to change that. Their belief is simple: That every human being should be able to obtain and lead full and rich lives, re-

gardless of their physical condition. They have an unwavering conviction that every human being deserves a life filled with dignity.

Both Christopher and Dana Reeve were staunch advocates and champions for the disabled. After his horse riding continued on page 19

Local Nonprofit Foundation... cont. from page 18 accident that left him paralyzed in 1995, actor Christopher Reeve put a human and familiar face on those who are enduring spinal cord injuries and paralysis. No more could people pretend that it was just an anonymous person who was suffering with a disability: Reeve was famous, and had been considered synonymous with Superman! But he was more than just a celebrity or a figurehead. He and his wife Dana were activists, driven to create positive

changes. Utterly passionate regarding helping these fellow courageous folks living with physical challenges, Reeve simply considered them heroes. He staunchly sought to give them hope, because he knew how easily they could feel hopeless. A staggering 1 in 50 people in the United States, approximately 5.4 million Americans live with paralysis of some kind. And those aren’t just numbers or statistics; they are people close to us. “We all know someone

a brother, sister, friend, neighbor or colleague who is suffering with paralysis. They aren’t strangers. They are one degree of separation from all of us,” officials assert. The Reeves’ Foundation is dedicated to performing innovative research, securing grants, providing information and much needed advocacy to aid their clients. During the past 16 years and moving forward, The Reeve Foundation and National Paralysis Resource Center continue

Since it opened in 2002, 100,000 people have been aided by this organization with approximately 20,000 people helped in the past three years alone. According to Anna Chamberlain, supervisor of Marketing and Communications for the Christopher and Dana Reeve Foundation since 2015, the Reeve Foundation has a dual mission. “We focus on creating resources and programs to help the 5.4 million Americans and their families impacted by paralysis though our Paralysis Resource Center while also funding innovative and cutting edge research to find cures for spinal cord injuries in the near future,” she explains.

thuses. This recent grant will do so much for so many, making positive and uplifting differences in their lives. “We are thrilled that we can continue to expand our programs to help even more individuals and families create a pathway to navigate their way towards an independent and thriving future,” Chamberlain says. “In many ways the PRC provides hope that many have lost, especially after those few days and weeks after a traumatic injury or event. I am personally thrilled we were evaluated on our demonstrated impact, value and positive outcomes. The PRC has helped so many families; it acts as a lifeline when their lives have changed in an instant. The grant will keep that lifeline open for those who need it the most.” Chamberlain sums up the mission of the Christopher and Dana Reeve Foundation perfectly: “We not only are giving helpful tools (to clients), we are giving hope.” To contact the Reeve Foundation, call 800-225-0292.

The children will be supplied with model car kits and judged on who does best at putting one together. Another contest for kids is to see who can get the best greaser (greaser down hair) look. Of course, Lead East wouldn’t be Lead East without cars with 1,400 plus cars expected to arrive by Friday of the event. They come from not only New Jersey, but a variety of states. Also, they’re not all from the ‘50s. There will be cars from the 1930s – 1970s: classics, rot rods, muscle cars and more. One aspect of Lead East is

that of giving. Every year, Lead East picks a charity to support and this year it is the Ashley-Lauren Foundation which helps children in N.J. who have cancer. There will be a booth at which 50/50 tickets will be sold. Also, as it has been for many years, Piccatinny Arsenal, from Dover, will be on hand showing some of its military vehicles and collecting toys for Toys for Tots to be given out to needy area children at Christmas.

The money that the student earns does not go toward their tuition but instead goes to the student as cash during the semester. Depending on the school, they allow students a certain amount of money to earn. Mary Primich of Trenton, a sophomore at Monmouth University double majoring in secondary education and English, works on campus at Pollak Theater through federal work study. “It’s hard getting a job when you’re in school,” she says. “It’s cool how we’re able to work on campus throughout the semester and get paid for it.

Apply for EOF EOF (Educational Opportunity Fund), is a scholarship that allows New Jersey students to receive a well-rounded education that they normally would not be able to afford. Given to those students more than capable of doing great things after college, chosen applicants are given full admission to the university that they attend, financial support, and services throughout the year to help them succeed during their next four years. Arina Martin of Jackson, a sophomore at Monmouth University majoring in music, is one EOF scholarship recipient. She states “EOF has given me the opportunity to go to college when I couldn’t afford it. Without it (EOF), I’m not sure if I would have been able to go to a university.”

Be sure to check out the school’s website for their EOF program or call the school’s EOF department for requirements in seeking this financial help. Staying at home for school isn’t always bad Community college saves students money on food, room and board as well as other expenses such as room décor and transportation. Kassidy Orzechowski of Clifton, who recently transferred from Monmouth to go to Bergen Community College explains “I was supposed to go to Montclair but Montclair suggested I go to my local community college because getting your associates degree counts as having your general education requirements completed, so it makes more sense and it’s cheaper.” Although some may look down upon going to a community college, many would agree that these students are making a wise choice as the cost difference between a community college and a university is evident.

I like good will because it helps out charities.” Summer jobs Summer jobs are a necessity for all college students. Considering there are three months of summer for the average college kid, there is more than enough time to get a job at any restaurant, movie theater or a bowling alley in order to start saving. Summer camps are perfect places to work over the summer because not only do people get paid for being a

little kid, but they get to catch some sun rays. Carolyn Welch of Long Branch, a sophomore at Monmouth University, says “Summer jobs are the way to go for college kids. You get bored in the summer anyways, so why not make some money!” Welch advises to incoming freshmen to “Get a job for the summer before you go to college and save up money for the first semester for whatever it is they want to spend it on whether it be going out to eat or shopping. If you receive any money for Christmas, be sure to save it up for the next semester and file for tax returns
