By Anastasia MarchesePeter Schaub, of Roseland, has led a rich and interest-ing life as an investment broker. Although not a ca-reer that most people associate with excitement,

there are often interesting stories found in unexpectedplaces.Schaub’s investments however ran along unique lines.“My father and I got involved in the buying and selling

of bridges,” said Schaub. Buying and selling privatelyowned toll bridges is a niche market for sure and maysound like a career destined only for those born into money.Yet Schaub’s father came into the investment business in avery unexpected way.He was a magazine salesman. How he went from buying

and selling magazine subscriptions, to buying and sellingbridges seems more like the plot of an old black and whitemovie than real life. Sometimes however, life can bestranger than fiction.Schaub’s father worked in NYC selling magazines to

women working in the business district. He would befriendthe doorman at the building and would in that way get ac-cess to the offices. At lunch time while the girls ate theirsandwiches and such, he would give his sales pitch. Hemust have been a very persuasive salesman because he wasoverheard by one of the managers at an investment firmand asked if he would like to sell bonds. “My father didn’t even know what bonds were,” said

Schaub, but selling bonds sounded like a good career move.Soon thereafter he joined that company and started on anew course in life.Then in 1933 Schaub’s father started his own firm. “It

was not a very good time to start a business,” Schaub re-

flected. Due to the depression his father had been let gofrom his position at the investment firm but “a client of his(from his old job) loaned him the money. He used it to buya desk and some chairs and to hire a secretary.”He was able to make a go of his investment firm, even

during those difficult financial times. His company wenton to be the oldest independent investment firm in NJ.Schaub joined his father’s firm in 1946 and the companygrew to have 14 employees. The details of the buying and selling of privately owned

toll bridges is a subject best left to Schaub, as he is able toturn what might otherwise seem a dull subject into an en-gaging tale rich with personal anecdotes and humor. The pictures alone make the book worth buying. Schaub

described one picture of his son and himself atop theGolden Gate Bridge in San Francisco. His son had a con-nection to someone associated with the bridge administra-tion and arranged for Schaub to be able to get an insideview. Schaub remembers the ride up in the bridge’s antiqueelevator and then the amazing view of the entire city. It wasdefinitely a once in a lifetime experience to remember.Schaub has given various talks over the years describing

his unusual experiences and was encouraged to write abook by his family and friends. Schaub reasoned that sincehe was the last person alive who could tell the story that heought to.Now Schaub’s son is encouraging him to write another

book, but Schaub thinks that one is enough. At 93 years ofage he is content to have written his accounts down. Hespends his days golfing and taking part in his local rotaryclub. Schaub has a long history of community service in-volvement and continues to take an active role.

By Cheryl ConwayMany more have heard her cries forhelp, and although wonderful,the need in affording a storage

place to house all of the generous furnituredonations is that much greater.Founder and Director Sandra Ramos of

Strengthen Our Sisters (SOS) has found avacant store at 1621 Hamburg Turnpike in

Wayne and has a vision of opening a storethere to keep all of the furniture donationsmuch needed by the women she sheltersthrough her organization. The 6,000 squarefoot space used to be a florist shop, shesays.“It’s a great location; has a lot of room;

it’s long,” says Ramos of Ringwood. “Weget so much stuff that we have to turn it

Pioneer For Battered Women’s Shelter Finds Creative Ways To Carry On Her Missiondown. We have nowhere to keep it.”Since her call for help a few months ago

seeking contributors to help pay for themortgage at a lower interest rate to keepSOS afloat, Ramos has received close to 30calls from people who have furniture dona-tions. “Some of it we took,” she says. If do-nations continue to come in, Ramos says“we could sell it” at the store and help sup-port SOS.Established in 1977 as Shelter Our Sis-

ters - the first shelter for battered women inNorth America- the community-based non-profit organization changed its name toStrengthen Our Sisters and has since grownto eight houses, two day care centers, a foodpantry and a thrift store.Through SOS, Ramos provides housing

for 155 women and children in shelters lo-cated in New Foundland, Wanaque andWest Milford.The store in Wayne would be rented to

her for $5,000 per month, she says. Withideas already sprouting, she has creativeways to use the space in addition to furni-ture storage.

She was thinking it could be used as ajazz café to feature some students who per-form; or even as a craft store, as a place forthe women in her shelter to show off theirmany talents such as artistic ability and sellitems for profit.“We have so many women with talents

who are living poverty stricken,” saysRamos. “We have women who are artistic.They can make dolls and pictures, hand-made clothes and ceramics.” One of herhouses is for older women and “they ownedbusinesses,” she says.“We want to be economically independ-

ent rather than dependent,” she adds. “Thewomen can become economically suffi-cient.”Ramos’ experience in working 15 years

as a waitress in a jazz place, Mikell’s in NY,can now come into play if her plans carryto fruition.For those who would like to help by ei-

ther continuing to donate furniture, as wellas money to offset the mortgage, or who hasan idea for a better and yet more affordablestore location, call Ramos at 973-831-6156.

On Wed., March 23, and March 30, students from Wil-son Elementary School in West Caldwell partici-pated in the school’s first 3-on-3 basketball

tournament, raising funds for St. Jude’s Children’s ResearchHospital. Organized by the school’s K-Kids Club, the ele-mentary school Kiwanis Club, the students held a tourna-ment for fourth graders and a tournament for fifth graders,raising $460.“The students worked hard to organize teams, sell snacks,

distribute participation prizes, and more,” said teacher andco-club advisor Michelle Haas. “The students worked hard,played hard, and now it will benefit the children at St.Jude’s.”Affiliated with the Kiwanis Club of Caldwell-West Essex,

K-Kids is an elementary school service club for students thatteaches younger students the value of helping others by tak-ing part in community service projects. Introduced in 2014,

Teacher and tournament referee Scott Stiefbold poses with justone of the fifth grade teams that participated in the Wilson Ele-mentary School 3-on-3 basketball tournament.

Wilson School K-Kids Score For St. Jude’s Children’s Research Hospitalthe clubs exist at each of the district’s four elementaryschools and nearly 200 students district-wide have joined theclubs.Nearly 100 students participated in the tournaments, play-

ing against their peers in a round-robin format. With theschool principal Scott Keena and teacher Scott Stiefbold act-ing as referees, and co-club advisors Haas and Andrea Zi-many overseeing the entire event, both days ran smoothly,with students cheering on their classmates and scoringpoints.“We wanted to show the students the doing good can be

fun,” added Zimany. “And so far, it looks like it worked.”For more information on Wilson Elementary School, visit

For Caldwell University student CindyPineros, a highlight of her workweekin Appalachia came when she wit-

nessed a man named Anthony roll out of hishouse and down a ramp that she had helpedto build.“He was so happy and thankful,” said

Pineros. She explained that Anthony hadnot been able to leave his house without as-sistance since his home had no wheelchairramp. Pineros, a nursing and biology student,

and six other Caldwell students joined stu-dents from other universities March 19 to25 for the Christian Appalachian Project’sWorkfest Alternative spring break program.They helped rebuild homes for low-income

families in eastern Kentucky. Yashant Gywali, a sophomore majoring

in computer information systems at Cald-well, helped build a porch for an elderlywoman who lived alone. He was happy tobe “introduced to new power tools; I wasfixing windows, drilling, up on ladders.” Catie Mulick, also a nursing student at

Caldwell, did roofing and put paneling ona family’s house. She was struck most bythe way the little girls were proud to showthem around even though they had the bareminimum. “They were not embarrassed or ashamed

at needing help from college students,” saidMulick. It was a week of hard work, cold tem- Caldwell University students and staff took part in an alternative spring break experience helping

peratures and a scramble to get a shower. “Waking up at 5:45 or 6, 40 to 50 girls

using eight showers,” said Pineros. The work groups were set up so that

each Caldwell student was in a team withstudents from other colleges, which “forcedyou out of your comfort zone,” said

Pineros. Gywali was happy to make friends from

Caldwell and other schools. The pretty hills,mountains and lake reminded him of hisbeloved Nepal. The group stayed at Camp AJ in McKee,

Many dads and father figures will at-test that Father’s Day is special be-cause they get to spend it with their

families. While the gifts might be nice, it’sthe time together that dads truly cherish. Family members who want to make Fa-

ther’s Day extra special this year may wantto put extra effort into customizing Father’sDay fun rather than shopping for gifts.So what equates to a fun-filled and enjoy-

able day for fathers? That all depends onDad’s interests. While no two fathers are thesame, there are some universal ideas that canmake for a memorable Father’s Day.Rest and relaxationFathers do a lot for their families, and

many fathers have hectic daily schedules.Come Father’s Day, Dad may just desire aday when he’s not called on to do anything.Provide this for him by removing many of theresponsibilities that can bog your father

down. This includes chores that may be tack-led on Sundays or even responsibilities thatMom often relies on him to tackle.Special dinnerOn this special day, Dad may deserve a

dinner that stands apart from more routinefamily meals. A specially cooked meal thatthe entire family prepares together or a reser-vation at a favorite restaurant will no doubtbring a smile to Dad’s face. Make sure thatthe meal includes his favorite foods. Favorite activityPlan the day around an activity that Dad

enjoys. If he’s an avid fisherman, this couldmean taking the rods out and spending a fewhours seeing what’s biting. Or it may involveattending a ballgame, watching his favoritemovie or playing a few rounds of golf.Father’s Day is a special day that many fa-

thers would insist is even better when spentwith family.

For over twenty years, implant dentistry has been a reliable option for patients with missing teeth. With the ability to support a crown, an implant procedure has the capacity to bypass drilling the adjacent teeth. Additionally, with the recent availability of mini implants, implant dentistry has expanded its utiliza-tion to anchoring both full and partial dentures for a more secure f it. As they provide an economic alternative, patients have been very receptive of mini implants, as they make eating and speaking with dentures much easier.

Dr. Helen Chiu has always been involved in implant dentistry, making it an integrated part of her everyday practice. From replacing a single tooth, insert-ing crowns or bridges, securing dentures, to creating multiple, full-arch recon-structions, she performs every step of each process, surgical and restorative.

Your comfort and convenience are always Dr. Chiu’s top priorities. To learn more about these procedures, please call our of� ce at 973-377-0224.

Passing on the family business has been the traditionfor the past 100 years for Terzako Furs in Caldwell.Michael Kambourakis and his son, Elias, have con-

tinued the tradition of being in the fur business for 10 gen-erations, following in the footsteps of Michael’sgrandfather, Eric Rouskas and his uncle Harry Terzako.It started when the two decided to leave Kastoria,

Greece in 1913. Kastoria was and still is the genesis of furin Europe.Rouskas and Terzako settled in Newark. They started

in working for Best & Company and on the side they madefur coats, collars and trimmings. At that time, America was the land of skins and trapping

of wild broad tail, mink, muskrat, raccoons and beavers.Foxes came later on in the 1930's.When farming started in the 1930's and 1940's the fam-

ily got better quality mink and fox pelts. The fur industrygrew to a point that it is now all over the world.The family opened a store on High Street in Newark,

then moved to 19 Prospect Street in East Orange. Theymoved to the Caldwells in the early 1970's. The familymembers continued to be a part of the business.During high school and college, Kambourakis began to

work in the business. After graduating college and gradu-ate school, he became a specialist in the spectrum ofautism. His love of family made him decide to become theninth generation in Terzako furs, and his son Elias has

joined him and is now the 10th generation.Terzako Furs is a full service furrier, gearing its business

to custom work, and are one of the few custom houses inthe country. The sources for the furs have grown to be allover the world. Thousands of satisfied customers from thetri-state area continue to buy fur coats, jackets, vests andother unique fur items from Terzako Furs. In addition thestore makes on premise raincoats, shearlings, capes and furblankets. Several years it began to import leathers fromItaly. And when it comes to storing and cleaning furs for the

summer, the store’s on-site fur vaults are the perfect vaca-tion place! Of course Terzako had a complimentary remod-eling consultation and will update old furs to the lateststyle.According to Kambourakis, his fur business is impor-

tant, but his humanitarian work is his passion. He initiatedhelping the people of The Dominican Republic years agoby himself, as he saw the need for clean water, educationalsupplies, clothing so kids could go to school medicines andanything else he thought would help the people become ed-ucated, and healthy.His dreams of a medical facility has become a reality

thanks to support of doctors, hospitals and the Caldwell Ro-tary, where he is a very active member, among other spon-sors. He has been responsible in raising funds for fivebuildings and the clinic in partnership with LIG Global &

Any Job Over $2,500

By Cheryl ConwayIt’s all about partnerships at SpectrumWorks in Secaucus. A non-profit com-pany, Spectrum Works has teamed up

with a for-profit company while the studentemployees gain skills by working alongsidea mentor or coach.The strategy has so far been a success.

The pilot program that started almost threeyears ago recently ended and is growing toinclude a partnership with a another for-profit company- a large international distri-bution company also in Secaucus- withtalks to expand with a third company in NJ.The goal is to eventually branch out intoNew York and then around the country.“They [Spectrum] are branching out into

other partner companies,” says Ann MarieSullivan of Wayne, chief executive officerand founder of Spectrum Works. The mis-sion of Spectrum Works is to give employ-ment opportunities to individuals withautism.Sullivan had been working as a for-

profit entrepreneur with publishing compa-nies in Europe when she stumbled across aworking environment that put some thingsin a different perspective.“I wanted to do something entrepreneur-

ial” but with a “non-profit social enter-prise,” she explains.“I was volunteering as a non-profit con-

sultant in New York City,” she explains.“We were asked by an organization in NewYork to evaluate a program. I was asked tocome in to make it better.” When shewalked in the door of a building in NY, shenoticed a small screen printing companywith employees faced with developmentalor intellectual disabilities.“I didn’t have any association with any-

one with different abilities,” she admits, soseeing such a productive group caught herattention. “They were productive and talk-ing like any other environment or business.It was a special place.”When Sullivan found out that this busi-

ness was going to shut down, she realizedthat the concept of providing job opportu-nities for individuals that face challenges“could be larger.”She thought, “What could we do; what

model could we put in place? What visioncan we change; changing the perception of

people; not only the awareness but the un-derstanding of that?” Sullivan decided that people with autism

need greater support in the work place.“Everybody knows someone with

autism,” says Sullivan. “I don’t have anyconnection,” she adds, but the statistics aretroubling.According to research, 500,000 people

with autism are scheduled to graduate fromhigh school in the next 10 years throughoutthe U.S. Also, NJ has the highest number ofindividuals with autism in the U.S., with a12 percent increase in NJ for kids withautism. Statistics reveal that one in 68 indi-viduals in the U.S. have autism, in whichone out of 42 is boys.Out of those individuals with autism, 80

percent are unemployed, she cites. It is encouraged that students with

autism stay in high school until they are 21“so they can learn more things and stay inprograms for development,” says Sullivan.Some question, “can people with autism

work in a competitive environment? An-swer is ‘no’,” says Sullivan. “There’s noth-ing really out there for them. We believe itis possible.”Her idea was to have individuals with

autism work alongside those in competitiveemployment, a term used by governmentwhich means people who are neuro-typicalor without autism, she explains.“How can we create a supportive envi-

ronment for individuals to work in compet-itive employment?” she challenged. “Ideais to make them independent.” By workingalongside a mentor or coach, “they will be-come more independent.

“We encourage integrated employ-ment,” she says. “They have potential andcan work. They have average or higher thanaverage IQ’s. They just need opportuni-ties.” Sullivan was going to start her own man-

ufacturing company so decided to visitGreen Distribution, a for-profit screenprinting, company to get some ideas andsee its machinery.“When I met the owner [Robert Butters]

and I told him what we were going to do,he said ‘Why don’t you partner with us?’”An opportunity she could not refuse,

Sullivan began her company, Spectrum Works, whichstems from autism spectrum disorders. She started out asa pilot program almost three years ago, in August 2013.“This organization is unique,” says Sullivan. “We part-

ner with for-profit companies. Students who attend highschool come to work at the business with all arrangementsmade through their school including selection approval andtransportation, she says.For the pilot program, Spectrum Works partnered with

Green Distribution from 2013 to 2015; since that ended,she has continued the partnership and even Green has hiredsome of her interns to join his workforce, she says.Spectrum Works helps to manufacture custom printed

screen apparel. Students have been involved with helpingto print 65,000 t-shirts a day, as well as other promotionalitems through a distributor such as water bottles, pens, poloshirts, sweatshirts.“It’s a very large factory,” says Sullivan. Many of the

orders are universal music t-shirts; other orders have beenfor Shoprite, towns, recreation programs and some corpo-rate deals.Students get paid a salary, minimum wage, to work

alongside people without autism who serve as coaches. The

environment has been helping the employees who haveautism “to be prepared for the work experience,” says Sul-livan.“We partner with high schools in five counties in NJ,”

she says. Schools handle transportation in getting the students to

the one large facility in Secaucus, with some coming as faras Short Hills and Millburn. Spectrum is now in the processof expanding and adding a second facility, but Sullivan saidit was too soon to reveal the for-profit company name.Currently, 40 students are involved in the internship pro-

gram. Employees must be at least 16 years; most workthree days a week, four hours a day-typically 9:30 a.m. to2 p.m.- and are involved in manual labor to office work.“They are part of the production team,” says Sullivan.

Some work tasks include after-screen printing like puttingtags on, bagging, making and filling boxes, sorting sizes,putting orders together by finding, folding and packing.Work is done in an assembly line. There are also admin-

istrative tasks, graphic design, creating spreadsheets ondatabase, making packing lists.“We find out what they are interested in and gear them

toward that,” she says.

The partnership works as “we fund ourselves out of theproduct at a competitive price.”Companies can support the program and help young

adults with autism by placing orders for t-shirts and otheritems through Spectrum Works. So far 80 companies haveplaced orders throughout the tri-state area, says Sullivan. Sponsoring fundraisers is another option to help fund

the program. Mission Fitness in Livingston raised $10,000in its April fundraiser with its cross-fit gym to supportSpectrum.Sullivan plans to look into some grants and plans to start

a crowd-raising campaign with Rutgers in the near future.Spectrum’s program for students extends into the sum-

mer as it also employs college students and other employ-ees. Sullivan says they will be adding courses as well suchas job writing skills, interview strategies and resume build-ing.Enrollment is continuous. Students can contact their

high school now for consideration into next school year’sprogram.For more information, to fundraise, donate or place or-
