The relay is a walk/run around the high school track that continues for 12 hours. Teams consist of at least four mem- bers but can include upwards of 40 people. The idea is that at least one member of the team will be on the track at all times either walking or running. The event begins with an opening ceremony at 7 p.m. The participants are welcomed and there is also a speech by a survivor as well as a caregiver, each of whom share a bit of their stories. The opening lap is the survivor's lap, where cancer sur- vivors walk the track to the applause and encouraging cheers of all present. Later, there are luminaries set up all around the track. The luminaries can be dedicated “in honor of” or “in mem- ory of” a cancer survivor, cancer victim or caregiver. Once the luminaries are all set up and lit, there is a lap of silence to remember those who have fallen in the battle against cancer. At 7:45 p.m. there is a survivors’ reception to honor those present who have had cancer. Dinner, massages, goody bags and other special treatment will be offered to the cancer survivors, “to show them that they are the stars of our relay,” said Miller. There are teams from all over the community. One of the largest teams comes from St. Barnabas Medical Center. Many members of the oncology team take part and some years there are more than 40 members on their team. Many businesses as well as religious and community organiza- tions also come to take a stand and raise funds in the fight against cancer. “We get a diverse outpouring from the community,” said Miller, who also said that this is the 11th Relay for Life that has been held in West Orange. Throughout the U.S., there are about 5,000 of these events held annually, with around 100 of these taking place in NJ.

Relay for Life, which manages the West Or-ange event, organizes 33 relays a year.

This string of national events can trace

its roots back to one man. According to theACS website, “One person can make a dif-ference.”

Nowhere is that more evident than the

Relay For Life...story of Dr. Gordy Klatt and the AmericanCancer Society Relay For Life event thatstarted in Tacoma, Wash., as the City ofDestiny Classic 24-Hour Run Against Can-cer in 1985. In May 1985, Klatt spent a gru-eling 24 hours circling the track at BakerStadium at the University of Puget Soundin Tacoma. Friends, family, and patientswatched and supported him as he ran andwalked more than 83.6 miles and raised$27,000 through pledges for the fightagainst cancer. As he circled the track, hethought of how he could get others to takepart. He envisioned having teams partici-pate in a 24-hour event to raise money tofight cancer. In 1986, 19 teams were part ofthe first relay event at the historical StadiumBowl and raised $33,000.Gordy's vision has grown into a nation-

wide event raising nearly $5 billion infundraising to save lives from cancer. In ad-dition, the American Cancer Society li-censes 20 non-governmental cancerorganizations in other countries to holdRelay For Life events to battle canceracross the globe.

As Gordy would still say, "Keep up thefight!” Klatt died in 2014 as the result ofcomplications from stomach cancer. Al-though he lost his fight against cancer in theend, still millions of people benefit from hislegacy.If anyone wishes to take part in this

year's relay, sign up online or on site the dayof the event. Signing up prior to the eventis encouraged. There are many activitiesscheduled during the night that will takeplace near or on the track to keep everyoneup and engaged.

“People are so energetic,” said Miller“they don't even realize it’s 3 a.m.” Hamburgers and hotdogs will be avail-

able for dinner and many people bring fooditems to sell for their on-site fundraising.Breakfast will also be available between 2a.m.-3 a.m. and participants can give theirbagel order when they sign in. The closing ceremony takes place at

5:30 a.m. and participants leave around 6a.m. To sign up, go to www.cancer.org andfollow the links to the Relay for Life signups.

NCJW Pays Tribute To Women With Butterfly Project

An emergency shelter operation has been set up at St.Hubert’s Animal Welfare Center in Madison to wel-come and care for more than 120 dogs rescued by

Humane Society International (HSI) from a dog meat farmin South Korea. The dogs began arriving on April 26 and arebeing provided medical treatment, time for adjustment andwill later be put up for adoption.The dogs are part of a group of 250 dogs and puppies res-

cued by HSI’s Animal Rescue Team from a dog meat farm inWonju, South Korea. The case is part of HSI’s efforts to redi-rect farmers to engage in other economic activities and whoagree to permanently end the farming of dogs for the meattrade and dismantle the cages. The farmer who released theseanimals will now be growing mushrooms; other farmers HSIhas worked with have chosen to grow blueberries.“We are proud to welcome these deserving animals and

make sure their stories are told to help effect change,” saidHeather Cammisa, president and CEO of St. Hubert’s. “Twoof the Huskies were so happy to see one another again, theywere face licking and frolicking in the cage when reunited. Itis important for the world to see the individuals impacted.” Kelly O’Meara, director of companion animals and en-

gagement for HSI, said, “We are so grateful to St. Hubert’sfor partnering with us to provide the immediate stateside carefor these animals and be one of our placement partners forthese animals to begin lives anew.”The dogs will be placed through shelters across the North

East. St. Hubert’s estimates they will keep twenty or so dogsfor direct placement. For more information, including theother agencies that will be placing animals for adoption, visitwww.sthuberts.org.

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.

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.

FAMILY OWNED BUSINESS SINCE 1947

www.� eetwood� ooring.com

By Cheryl ConwayIt’s all about partnerships at Spectrum Works in Secau-cus. A non-profit company, Spectrum Works has teamedup with a for-profit company while the student employ-

ees gain skills by working alongside a mentor or coach.The strategy has so far been a success. The pilot pro-

gram that started almost three years ago recently ended andis growing to include a partnership with another for-profitcompany- a large international distribution company alsoin Secaucus- with talks to expand with a third company inNJ. The goal is to eventually branch out into New York andthen around the country.“They [Spectrum] are branching out into other partner

companies,” says Ann Marie Sullivan of Wayne, chief ex-ecutive officer and founder of Spectrum Works. The mis-sion of Spectrum Works is to give employmentopportunities to individuals with autism.Sullivan had been working as a for-profit entrepreneur

with publishing companies in Europe when she stumbledacross a working environment that put some things in a dif-ferent perspective.“I wanted to do something entrepreneurial” but with a

“non-profit social enterprise,” she explains.“I was volunteering as a non-profit consultant in New

York City,” she explains. “We were asked by an organiza-

tion in New York to evaluate a program. I was asked tocome in to make it better.” When she walked in the door ofa building in NY, she noticed a small screen printing com-pany with employees faced with developmental or intellec-tual disabilities.“I didn’t have any association with anyone with differ-

ent abilities,” she admits, so seeing such a productive groupcaught her attention. “They were productive and talkinglike any other environment or business. It was a specialplace.”When Sullivan found out that this business was going

to shut down, she realized that the concept of providing jobopportunities for individuals that face challenges “could belarger.”She thought, “What could we do; what model could we

put in place? What vision can we change; changing the per-ception of people; not only the awareness but the under-standing of that?” Sullivan decided that people with autism need greater

support in the work place.“Everybody knows someone with autism,” says Sulli-

van. “I don’t have any connection,” she adds, but the sta-tistics are troubling.According to research, 500,000 people with autism are

scheduled to graduate from high school in the next 10 years

throughout the U.S. Also, NJ has the highest number of in-dividuals with autism in the U.S., with a 12 percent in-crease in NJ for kids with autism. Statistics reveal that onein 68 individuals in the U.S. have autism, in which one outof 42 is boys.Out of those individuals with autism, 80 percent are un-

employed, she cites. It is encouraged that students with autism stay in high

school until they are 21 “so they can learn more things andstay in programs for development,” says Sullivan.Some question, “can people with autism work in a com-

petitive environment? Answer is ‘no’,” says Sullivan.“There’s nothing really out there for them. We believe it ispossible.”Her idea was to have individuals with autism work

alongside those in competitive employment, a term usedby government which means people who are neuro-typicalor without autism, she explains.“How can we create a supportive environment for indi-

viduals to work in competitive employment?” she chal-lenged. “Idea is to make them independent.” By workingalongside a mentor or coach, “they will become more in-dependent.

“We encourage integrated employment,” she says.

Spectrum Works As Partners To Provide Employment Opportunities For Autistic Individuals

“They have potential and can work. They have average orhigher than average IQ’s. They just need opportunities.” Sullivan was going to start her own manufacturing com-

pany so decided to visit Green Distribution, a for-profitscreen printing, company to get some ideas and see its ma-chinery.“When I met the owner [Robert Butters] and I told him

what we were going to do, he said ‘Why don’t you partnerwith us?’”An opportunity she could not refuse, Sullivan began her

company, Spectrum Works, which stems from autism spec-trum disorders. She started out as a pilot program almostthree 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, polo

shirts, 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. Theenvironment 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 on

database, 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 the

product 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-

ders, visit spectrumworks.org or email [email protected] or email [email protected].

Beginning in September, the month des-ignated as Sickle Cell Awareness and Child-hood Cancer Awareness, The Valerie Fundhas been promoting its Red & Gold Cam-paign, the colors of Sickle Cell (red) andPediatric Cancer (gold) awareness.

the foundation of the Walk/5K Run’s suc-cess as well as the grass roots efforts ofhundreds of Walk Captains and their teams.Bunny Flanders, director of Marketing

says, “The individuals and businesses do-nating to the Walk have made it a priorityto support the communities in which theiremployees live and work. We applaud theircommitment and willingness to give backand take great pride in sharing some of themajor sponsor’s names: Atlantic Health,Barnabas Health, Burger King U.S. Trust,Wakefern Food Corp. and the Inserra, Sakerand Village ShopRite Families and JAGPhysical Therapy, underwriter of the 5KRun.”

Flanders cites the 5K Run as a perfectexample of the event’s evolution into acommunity-wide happening.

“In the earlier years, the race attractedfewer than one hundred participants. Adecade later, thanks to increased publicityparticularly by area running clubs, one

thousand runners signed up for USA Track& Field sanctioned event,” she recounts. Local sponsors will provide complimen-

tary food and beverages and entertainmentwill include carnival activities, live music,and face painting.After their nine-year-old daughter Va-

lerie succumbed to cancer, Sue and EdGoldstein were determined that no familyshould have to travel great distances to re-ceive superior medical care. Along with agroup of close friends, they began fundrais-ing efforts from their living room- tirelesswork that would lead to the 1977 openingof New Jersey’s first pediatric oncology fa-cility at Summit Overlook’s Hospital. Fortyyears later, The Valerie Fund’s mission re-mains that of supporting comprehensivehealth care for children battling cancer andblood disorders.For more information, please contact

By Michele GuttenbergerThe hallmark of every successful businessman is toown a family mansion and to have a state of the artgarage. Thomas Edison had both.

His Glenmont estate home in West Orange that he pur-chased in 1886 was the decorating and design concept ofthe former owner Henry C Pedder. However, Edison’sgarage was his own innovative design and creation that hebuilt in 1908. Edison oversaw the construction himself be-cause it was an entirely new creation in building construc-tion.Building his private garage helped him to launch his

new business venture – a patented technique of construct-ing mass-produced, poured-cement houses using ironmolds. His garage and the original Yankee stadium becamethe same cement poured by his own Edison Portland Ce-ment company.Since Thomas Edison was in the vehicle battery busi-

ness, he owned electric cars. And in 1908 his garage in-cluded battery charging stations for them. Edison inventedthe alkaline storage battery in 1901 and spent years per-fecting it for use in automobiles. Edison also had a gasolinefilling pump in his garage for his 1922 Model T Ford – a

gift from his good friend Henry Ford.The awesome custom feature of Edison’s Garage is the

car turntable to help park his vehicles. A hand crank rotatedthe resting car to a desired parking position. The drivernever had to struggle backing the car into a spot, theturntable did the navigating.The garage helped turn Edison into an involved family

man too. The garage gave him the liberty to tinker with hissons Theodore and Charles on home built motorized proj-ects. At the age of 10, Charles Edison, future governor ofNJ, built with his dad a workable vehicle from a two cyclemarine engine and a drive belt.Today the garage houses a 1911 Detroit Electric, a 1914

Detroit Electric, a 1922 Ford Model T, a 1908 Locomobileand a 1936 Brewster. The garage is available for publicviewing by reservation.The Glenmont Estate is also part of the National Historic

Park in West Orange accessible by visiting the factory Labvisitor center for the schedule and reservation car and ticketpasses. It is located inside the private residential LlewellynPark community. Visit website for more infohttps://www.nps.gov/edis/planyourvisit/basicinfo.htm.Those who are fascinated by this legendary man and his
