Second Time Olympic Contender Shares Experience On Bobsled Team

By Stefanie Sears uring the 2018 Winter Olympics in PyeongChang, South Korea, the Jamaica Women’s Bobsled Team made its debut. This initiated from fans’ references about the film “Cool Runnings” (1993), which told the story about the original Jamaican bobsled team in the 1988 games. “I don’t really derive inspiration

from the movie but rather from the original members of the 1988 Calgary Olympic Team that is still very much involved with the current team,” said team pilot Jazmine Fenlator-Victorian. Fenlator-Victorian grew up in Wayne and is no stranger to the Winter Olympics. She was last seen competing for the United States at the 2014 Winter Olympics in So-

chi, Russia. A dual citizen, this time around she decided to complete for Jamaica in honor of her father, Cosman Fenlator, and joined the team in 2015. “After competing in the 2014 Winter Olympics, I wanted to represent all of my nations and culture and decided to transition to Team Jamaica in hopes to represent them in 2018,” explained Fenlator-Victorian. “It requires some paperwork and permission from the International sporting committee once you have represented a nation in a previous World Championships or Olympic Games. “My parents raised me to em-

brace all of my multiple cultures and heritage rather than picking sides,” she says. “It was important for them that I was educated and exposed to all sides of where I come from and leave a legacy for all my communities and their future gen-

erations. For me it wasn’t a switch but returning home. I have always been Jamaican and it has always been my home too. I have been tested and gone through so much in the last four years, but paving this road for others to use as a catalyst towards breaking down more barriers and creating more history is the greatest reward yet. The support from my fellow Jamaicans on the island and overseas has been priceless!” Fenlator-Victorian began bobsledding in Sep-

tember 2007, but beforehand she ran for the track and field team at Rider University. During spring of her senior year, her coach Robert Pasquariello suggested that she try bobsledding. He submitted an athletic resume to the national team so that she could possibly be invited to a rookie camp, which worked out. “I love competing, I love challenging myself and pushing past my own personal limits as well as those placed on us,” said Fenlator-Victorian.

By Dawn M. Chiossi olunteers from all over are encouraged to participate in the 7th Annual Community Meal Packing Day set for March 18. The Grains Of Hope Organization, in conjunction with the Community Partners for Hope based in Pequannock Township, hopes that its hard work and dedication will surpass its one million packed meal goal

The event will be held at Pequannock Township Middle School from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. Many are seeking to do their part to end the very real and shocking problem of hunger, which unfortunately so many people have to endure on a regular basis. Half of the meals are slated to go to the impoverished nation of Haiti, while the other half are slat-

ed to go to the NJ Community Food Bank and distributed to local food banks. Kathleen Edwards Chase, lead pastor of The First Reformed Church, explains the history of this event. “The Grains of Hope Organization started seven years ago as an initiative of The First Reformed Church of Pompton Plains to give its members an opportunity to raise money for the life changing cause of providing food to starving people,”

she states. “In our first year alone we packaged 50,000 meals.” This impressive meal packing program was so well embraced by everyone, that since then, many organizations, churches, and civic groups generously joined in. Since its inception, this mission has expanded to other towns including Lincoln Park, Wayne and Montville. The program raises funds continued on page 3

tling cancer and its after affects, such as hair loss. Founded in 1995, Hats on Day was created by four sixth graders at Henry School in St. Louis to rally around and support their friend and classmate Kevin Beffa who was diagnosed with Non-Hodgkin’s Lymphoma. When he passed away, the idea then quickly transformed into a fundraiser to honor him. Since then, Hats on Day has continued in this little boy’s memory to raise awareness

about children undergoing chemo and related issues such as illness, missing school and hair loss. It is a way of showing other children what these brave kids go through. So Hats on Day is designated

Wayne Health Department Offers Women’s Awareness Screening

he Wayne Health Department is offering a Women’s Awareness Screening Friday, April 13, from 1 p.m.-4 p.m. at the Wayne Health Department, Wayne). There is a fee of $40 for the screening. The HPV test is also available upon request for an additional $45, and the hemoccult test for $5. The Women’s Awareness screening is a female cancer screening clinic for the prevention and early detection of cervical, uterine, breast and colorectal cancers. The screening

includes a blood pressure evaluation, urinalysis, hemoccult test, breast examination and pap test performed by a nurse practitioner. Health education will also be provided. For more information or to pre-register, call (973) 6941800 x3241. Pre-registration is required and there will be no refunds or credits. Checks for the screening should be made out to the Wayne Health Department. Checks for the HPV test and hemoccult test should be made out separately to Atlantic Health System.

This is the fifth year that James Fallon Elementary School has been participating in Hats on Day, and according to Principal Ethan Maayan, that of the two or three fundraisers per year that they execute, this is one of their most favorite. They raised an impressive $550 for just one day and all donations went to the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society. The children who took part in this worthwhile event received a sticker for their participation. Maayan discloses that the idea for their school’s Hats on Day came from the students themselves! “The students voted on this as one of their fundraisers that they wanted to do,” he says proudly. “It’s a great thing, it shows the kids how a democracy works, how they have a say. It’s empowering for them.” And they made this year’s

event a rousing success. The students of James Fallon Elementary School are no strangers to helping others either. Maayan describes how for their recent holiday fundraiser, the students voted on a toy drive to benefit the kids at St. Joseph’s Hospital. This spirit of altruism fits in the mission of the school’s environment of fostering caring and respect for their students as well as others. “We are so fortunate, Maayan assert. “These fundraisers are a great thing. We are teaching the kids that there are people out there who are not so fortunate as we are. It’s all about caring and helping others.” Childhood cancer is the leading cause of death for children under the age of 20. An estimated 12,400 children under the age of 20 are diagnosed every year.

Heart ‘n Hands Mission Collects, Sorts And Packs Items To Those In Need

in 2010 as the northern New Jersey chapter of Your Grandmother’s Cupboard of Toms River, which was founded by Jean and Clark Paradise, former members of St. Timothy Lutheran Church. Both wanted to extend the reach of their organization into the Wayne area and recruited two church members to help, who began collecting, sorting, and delivering clothing, reaching several hundred people in need each month. In the aftermath of Hurricane Irene in 2011, the group quickly grew, and so did its reach. Fifteen volunteers strong by 2015, the group served 600 homeless and working poor each month through soup kitchens, food pantries and shelters. “By mutual agreement,” Davidson says, “we left the umbrella of Your Grandmother’s Cupboard, and in July 2015 established Heart ‘n Hands Mission as an outreach ministry of St. Timothy Lutheran Church in Wayne.” Now a group of 20 volunteers, Hearts ‘n Hands Mission aids 2,000 people each month through an expanded group of public and private assistance organizations in Wayne, Paterson, Passaic and Hoboken.

By Steve Sears eart ‘n Hands Mission of Wayne, a ministry of St. Timothy Lutheran Church, held its annual President’s Day of Service on Monday, Feb. 19. Bob Davidson, president, elaborates, “We hold Days of Service on MLK Jr. Day, Presidents Day, as part of National Volunteer Week in April, and Columbus Day. We invite the public to join us in sorting and packing clothing, personal care items, shoes, coats, and accessories for our weekly distribution runs. Participants include public school service clubs, church youth groups, Boy Scouts and Girl Scouts, parents, senior citizens and members and clergy of several area congregations.” Davidson says, “Hearts ‘n Hands Mission’s main focus is our regular monthly delivery to the aforementioned organizations. We are fortunate to have the support of [Saint Timothy] Pastor Robin Mountenay and the church congregation. I believe that our community of faith inspires us all to do what we can to serve those in need.” The group is also very grateful for the support of the Wayne community. Hearts ‘n Hands Mission was formed

Church membership is not required to become involved. Volunteers come from several area congregations and surrounding communities. More information is available at info@heartnhandsmission. org, stopping by St. Timothy Lutheran Church in Wayne on Monday mornings, or visiting their website, www.heartnhandsmission.org. continued on page 9

hearing can make it very challenging to understand and follow a doctor’s advice, respond to warnings, and hear doorbells and alarms. Even talking with friends and family can become an overwhelming task. Hearing loss can occur for a number of different reasons. Many people lose their hearing gradually as they age. This condition is known as presbycusis. Doctors do not know why presbycusis affects some people more than others, but it seems to run in families. Hearing loss can also be a result of years of exposure to loud noise, a condition known as noise-induced hearing loss. Many construction workers, farmers, musicians, airport workers and people in the armed forces may exhibit signs of hearing loss in their younger and middle years because of excessive exposure to loud noise.

Surprising Facts About Fleas And Ticks

leas and ticks rely on blood for food. They are the vampires of the pet realm, silently stalking companion animals wherever they go. Once fleas and ticks find a victim, they are bound to stay around for a while, enjoying the free meal. Fleas, in particular, can grow quite fond of a cat or dog - reproducing and quickly building an infestation. Few people are educated on fleas and ticks, but learning a little more about them can help pet owners understand their behaviors and how to best keep their pets safe. Fleas Fleas have four life stages: egg, larva, pupa, and biting

adult. Most people are familiar with the adult stage because those are the most noticeable and painful. Fleas can feed on just about any blood host. Scientists know of more than 2,000 species and subspecies of fleas. However, in North Ameri-

ca, the cat flea (ctenocephalides felis) is responsible for the majority of cat and dog infestations. Female fleas are typically larger than the males and are responsible for proliferating the flea brood. Females can consume up to 15 times their body weight in blood every day. This helps to fuel egg-laying, which can take place within 36-48 hours of the female’s first meal. In her lifetime, a female flea can lay roughly 2,000 eggs. Fleas are wingless parasites that get around by jumping

from host to host. If they don’t have to expend too much energy (i.e. get comfortable on a host), they can go anywhere from between two months and 100 days without a meal. Fleas can jump up to eight inches high, enabling them to grab onto a passing meal source. A typical flea can live for a few months, and they can carry a number of different diseases. From the plague to cat scratch fever and tapeworms, fleas can make pets ill and also affect people who interact with them. Ticks Ticks are not insects; they are arachnids. That means they are more closely related to spicontinued on page 11

New Tax Legislation Requires Planning

hough many taxpayers appreciate the income tax cuts in the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (TCJA) passed late last year, others are skeptical that it will simplify their tax planning. With every simplification, there are many more tax issues that still require planning to realize extra tax benefits. Here are seven of them: 1. Planning for all the moving parts In many ways, the TCJA gives with one hand and takes away with the other. The “giving hand” provides a lower income tax rate structure and a higher standard deduction, while the “taking hand” gets rid of personal exemptions, suspends many itemized deductions and limits deductions that remain. There are many variables that determine whether you come out ahead or behind and a tax planning session can help you figure it all out. 2. Getting creative and flexible about itemizing Many itemized deductions remain the same, others were eliminated completely and some have new limits. For example, while charitable contributions are still a qualified deduction, there is now a $10,000 combined cap on state, local and property tax deductions. The new constraints mean considering creative solutions to maximize these deductions. One idea is to make better use of the donation of appreciated stock as part of your charitable giving. 3. Dealing with new complexity in small business ownership Small business owners and sole propri-

etors will have to do a complicated calculation to see how much of the 20 percent reduction to pass-through qualified business income they can take. It depends on your profession and your expenditures on capital and wages. This calculation can get complicated very quickly. 4. Understanding the newly changed “marriage penalty” The disadvantage for married couples within the tax code is still very much in place, but it is changing. For instance, the marriage penalty that had given unfavorable income tax rates to married joint filers when compared to single individuals goes away in the TCJA for most income levels. But it rears its head again in the $10,000 combined state, local and property tax limitation, which does not double for married joint filers. This is something you’ll have to plan around. 5. Getting credit for your kids There are many new tax benefits for parents in the TCJA. The child tax credit doubles to $2,000 and the phaseout threshold jumps to $400,000 from $110,000 previously for joint filers, making it available to more taxpayers. Dependents ineligible for the child tax credit can qualify for a new $500 per-person family tax credit. On top of that, distributions from 529 education savings plans can now be used to pay private school tuition for K-12 students. 6. Adjusting to disappearing tax breaks If your tax planning was built on any of the following expiring tax provisions, you’ll

Help Your Pet Go Green... continued from page 10 ders and scorpions. The stages of the tick include the egg, larva, nymph, and adult. Depending on the species, nymph ticks can be quite small to the naked eye. Ticks’ small stature can make them difficult to detect until they have become engorged with blood. The University of Rhode Island’s Center for Vector-Borne Disease and its Tick Encounter Resource Center said that spring is a prime time for the birth of new ticks. During this time of year, ticks are on the hunt for their next meals. Ticks can be carriers of a number of diseases, but it’s important to note that a tick has to be attached for longer than 24 hours to transmit diseases to a host. That means checking animals (and yourself) for ticks frequently can help avoid the spread of illness. Ticks don’t jump or fall from trees.

The parasites crawl upward, so start looking from the feet, moving up. In addition, check a dog’s face, where a tick may latch on while the dog is sniffing in the grass. Ticks and fleas are pesky critters that can carry diseases. Consult with your veterinarian if you suspect your dog has a tick or flea problem, to get the situation under control. Preventative collars and medications can help repel fleas and ticks as well. 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.

have to change your plan: personal exemptions; miscellaneous itemized deductions; home equity interest; alimony deductions (expiring in 2019); the additional child tax credit; theft and casualty losses; and the domestic production activity deduction (DPAD). 7. Facing the old complexities Many areas of the tax code remain largely the same and contain both potential pitfalls and opportunities to find tax savings. Managing capital gains and tax-loss harvesting, charitable activity deductions and a tax-advantaged retirement strategy are just a few areas where you can unlock extra value with smart planning. The big changes to tax reform this year may be disconcerting at first, but in change there is opportunity. After the dust settles on the 2017 tax season, get ready to take a detailed look at what 2018 tax reform means for you. Robert P.

Wayne Middle School Is Penny Wise In Cancer Fundraiser

By Anya Bochman ast month, Schuyler-Colfax Middle School in Wayne kicked off their annual Pennies for Patients campaign, an initiative that raises funds and awareness for blood cancers such as leukemia, lymphoma, Hodgkin’s disease, myeloma and histiocytosis. The school has a formidable history with the fundraiser, having raised $76,000 for the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society since 2006. After the success of last year’s campaign, Schuyler-Colfax focused on a goal of $25,000 this time. Surpassing their goal, the final count that they added up as of press time was $26,836.44. The kick-off for this year’s campaign took place on Feb. 6 in a ceremony that included speeches by the school principal, Matthew Mignanelli, and

Additionally, magician Michael Turco - a Wayne native who has been featured on “America’s Got Talent” - performed magic tricks and discussed his recent diagnosis of Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia. Explaining the school’s choices for speakers at the assembly, Anderson pointed out that Toye’s presentation gave the students a better understanding of blood cancers and what their fundraising ultimately achieves. Meanwhile, Turco helped energize the children, as well as allowing them to understand the need for ending cancer stigma; his mes-

Wayne Synagogues Get Creative For Purim Celebrations

By Anya Bochman urim, the Jewish holiday that always promises fun for both children and adults, was celebrated in style this year at Wayne synagogues of all denominations. From carnivals and ice cream specials to outer space theme nights, the story of Esther and the Jewish people’s triumph over Haman was joyfully commemorated around the township. At Temple Shomrei Torah, the annual Purim Carnival was held on Sunday, Feb. 25. Sponsored by the temple’s Men’s Club, the event featured dozens of special booths for children, complete with contests, games and food. “A good time was had by all,” remarked Rabbi Randall Mark. “Unfortunately for me, the sponge toss, a game where

Penny Wise... continued from page 14 as it’s our last day,” Anderson stated on Thursday, March 1, the day before the final count. “But even if we don’t [reach the goal], I am beyond proud of how the school united to raise what we have.” Elaborating further on the progress of the campaign, Anderson explained the reward system that allowed students to receive interesting prizes to mark certain goals. The top fundraising homeroom has earned a pizza party at lunch. Since the count between the second and third place homerooms is very close, both classrooms will get ice cream parties. In addition, a teacher will have to kiss a pig, several teachers will play “egg roulette,” and some students will participate in a Silly String war against teachers. However, Anderson pointed out that it is not only the promise of rewards and prizes that

children throw wet sponges at the rabbi in a booth, was especially popular.” Organized by temple member Rob Baron, the carnival was run by volunteers who prepared food and managed the booths. “There were some new faces, potential new members,” Mark stated. “It’s a way for them to see one another. It’s not always easy to meet other Jewish families.” On Wednesday, Feb. 28, at 5 p.m., Shomrei Torah held its traditional Tot Purim Experience, followed by a children’s dinner, “to make life easier for parents bringing them to the synagogue,” quipped Mark. After the dinner, there was the “Family Friendly Megillah Reading,” where members of the congregation joined the

motivated the youngsters, as they are dedicated to the fight against childhood cancers. “The students are excited and motivated,” the language teacher stated. “We have a leukemia survivor in our sixthgrade class. She’s a very real reminder to our students of what we’re fighting for.” When asked about Schuyler-Colfax’s plans for future campaigns, the educator affirmed the school’s continuing contributions to Pennies for Patients, and pointed out its other charitable endeavors, such as raising money for United by Autism, March of Dimes, breast cancer research and scholarship funds. “We host an annual Toys for Tots drive, mail care packages to soldiers, send thank you bags to local law enforcement, and donate food and clothing to local shelters,” Anderson stated. “There is always a service learning project taking place.”

rabbi in reading from the Book of Esther and students from the religious school performed summaries and skits between chapters. For more traditional members, there was a 7 a.m. morning service on Thursday, March 1, that included a complete

continued from page 16 event and a special gathering dedicated to “surviving bigotry and anti-Semitism,” according to Marian Kleinman, temple educator and administrator. The carnival featured games, food and prizes, with seventh grade students operating some of the booths and

parents responsible for much of the preparation. This year, the temple decided to hold the traditional Purim celebration and megillah reading on Friday, March 2, which is also the Sabbath for the Jewish people. “This way, more people would come to hear it,” Klein-

man stated. “More families will get a chance to perform a mitzvah, good deed, here associated with marking Purim.” In preparation for the Friday reading of the story of Esther, the temple’s students had been decorating the megillah scroll from which the tale was read. Following the services, Temple Beth Tikvah held an Ice Cream Social, which completed the celebration. “It’s open to the public and can be a way for people to come back or join the temple,” Kleinman said. For its part, Chabad Center of Passaic County held a traditional megillah reading on Wednesday, Feb. 28 and the morning of Thursday, March 1. As per tradition, children shouted “Boo!” every time Haman, the story’s central villain, was mentioned. In a creative twist, Chabad

Center then held a Purim in Outer Space celebration at 5:30 p.m. at the Best Western Regency House Hotel on March 1. Described as a “Purim party with fun for all ages,” the event boasted a “megillah blast off, space bar, space cuisine, cosmic-themed dinner, ‘Ha Moon Tashen,’ incredible light show alien effects, moon bounce and glow in the dark slime.” “It’s open to the public and for every age – from one to 88,” said Chani Gurkov, Chabad Center director. “People have a really good time.” Gurkov went on to explain that the center does a different theme every year, trying to make the holiday fun and relatable for the kids. “You have to take it to the next level, and come up with creative ways to keep holidays alive,” Gurkov said. “Once they come to chabad, they come every year.”

Atlantic Ambulance Presents Child Safety Seat Inspection Events

By Kerry Breen n February 22, Atlantic Ambulance paired with Safe Kids Worldwide for a free, publicly-available car seat inspection. The program, known as Buckle Up, focuses on safety in and around cars. According to Sarah Daplyn, an Atlantic Training Center coordinator, these events are held several times throughout the year in various locations. The event included certified child passenger safety technicians on-site, who were able to help parents properly install their children’s car seats. “We typically hold our inspection events once every other month at the Atlantic Ambulance Air One helicopter base located at 65 Love Lane in Netcong, NJ,” said Daplyn. “Safe Kids holds these types of events all the time in various locations throughout the state.”

According to a flyer advertising the event, three out of four car seats are not used correctly. According to the Safe Kids Worldwide website, one million children around the world die of unintentional injuries each year, and millions more are injured; car safety is the greatest cause of preventable deaths and injuries to children both nationally and globally. “Our sponsored programs and initiatives combine education, awareness, environmental changes, and safety device distribution to get communities more involved in child safety and keep families and children safer,” as state on the site. “We work together with communities in the United States and partners around the world to implement programs that will address the leading causes of injury and injury-related death.” According to the website,

Transforming Lives By Transforming Living Spaces... It’s What We Do.”

similar child car seat events are held throughout the country, not just within the state of New Jersey. Most of the events are open to the public, and can be found in locations such as General Motors dealerships, hospitals, community centers and shopping centers. The Safe Kids company also has more than 125 Mobile Car Seat Checkup Vans operating across the United States. These vans are designed to turn “any parking lot into a full-service child restraint safety event site,” and almost every state has at least one van operating. Throughout the United States, 500 permanent child passenger safety inspection stations are operated, with regular times and dates available for interested parents and caregivers. Since the Buckle Up program was established in 1997 during a partnership with General Motors Foundation, the

program has grown to include four main components. The components included child passenger safety, which addresses car seats, booster seats and seat belts; heatstroke awareness and prevention with a campaign called Never Leave Your Child Alone in a Car; public education on driveway and parking lot injuries known as “frontovers” and “backovers,” which includes another program called Spot the Tot; and “Getting Ready to Drive,” which covers passenger education for preteens and teens before they drive and includes a program called Countdown2Drive, which teaches preteen and young teens about safe driving before they get behind the wheel. The program also works as public policy advocates helping states strengthen their laws regarding child safety in vehicles and drunk driving.
