campers all weekend.* Within the Healing CirclesSM, campers are allowed to talk about their loss – a subject often taboo in the real world where people don’t get it, and are uncomfortable hearing about it. Healing CirclesSM also work together to do trust and team building activities. Validation from peers – At camp, kids get a chance to not only share the story of their loss in their own words, but just as important, they get to hear other kids’ stories as well. They receive validation in what they think and feel, support each other and quickly learn that they are not alone. Opportunities to say goodbye and remember loved ones – Most kids did not get the opportunity to say goodbye to their loved ones. Funerals are designed for adults to say goodbye, but there is often no official venue for kids. Our memorial service does this very thing. The campers sing songs, read poems, do skits, and more, in tribute to their loved ones. Parents and guardians are encouraged to attend. We also provide opportunities for our campers to remember their loved ones throughout the weekend through writing, art and group activities. Tools to help them after camp – Grief never goes away, and we recognize that kids will have tough days outside of camp. We work to prepare our campers for the tough times that will come, and give them tools to help make those days more manageable. We discuss and model healthy coping skills, including ways to stay connected to loved ones through the years. FUN – Kids often become miniature adults after experiencing the death of a loved one. Comfort Zone Camp allows kids to get back to being kids again, and have fun! There are times for kickball, football, hiking, arts and crafts, s’mores, songs, games, and more. Founder Lynne Hughes lost her mother at age 9 and her father at age 12. She understands first hand the isolating feelings and struggles that a grieving child experiences. After working with the organization, Motherless Daughters, Lynne and her husband Kelly, decided to open Comfort Zone Camp. Ten years later, CZC is a place where kids feel safe, they can have fun, they can openly talk about their loved ones and their feelings. After camp, kids leave camp with lasting friendships and a new community of support that will be there for them year after year—the Comfort Zone Camp community. Please Join Comfort Zone for their 4th annual New York area fundraiser and 10th Birthday Celebration, Wish Big. This November 12th at Tribeca Rooftop 6:30pm-10:30pm. RSVP at www.comfortzonecamp.org To support Comfort Zone in your community, please visit www.comfortzonecamp.org and learn how to invite someone to camp, become a volunteer, or contribute a donation.

Change

By Harlin Parker

I

t’s true. Change is not easy. We humans are somehow hardwired to be cautious of change. After all, even with the most meticulous plan, we may think we know what will happen but deep down inside we know that something could go awry and we’ll be worse off than we were. That’s so even when we know we have to change. And if there is one thing we’ve learned from this Great Recession, we know we can’t keep doing what we’ve been doing in the same way. We know that here in New Jersey, with our multitude of municipalities, school districts, commissions, authorities, departments, and you-name-it, we are overburdened with government. We literally cannot afford this anymore. We know, at least most of us do, that how we currently structure and operate our government just isn’t working and we must, must make some long overdue adjustments. But still, change can be scary, and people of good will have differing opinions as to what makes sense, and what doesn’t. And, of course, the entrenched interests, including those people who belong to the “we-have-always-done-itthis-way” club, are part of the problem, not the solution. So while this will not be easy or quick, I am sure it is possible to bring about the changes we need and, well, we just don’t have any choice. There is no storm that will blow over, and the sun will come out again, and we can go back to the way things were. New Jersey’s municipalities, including my own home, Washington Township, are caught in a structural problem that, left unattended, continues to inevitably push up property taxes, push down the amount and quality of local services, and produces the kind of haphazard development we see all around us. Things are so out of control that we are currently witnessing tens of thousands of people leaving New Jersey even though they’d prefer to stay. This is madness, is it not? Who’s next to leave? You? Clearly, we need to fix things. And we need to go about it in as conscientious, eyes wide open, mature and (dare I say?) intelligent a manner as possible. A good bit of courage will help too. Just last month, Committeeman Tracy Tobin retired from his seat on the Washington Township Committee after 27 years of service. 27 years. Think about that. How did you go about your own business 27 years ago? In my office, we all used IBM selectric typewriters. And “cc” actually meant “carbon copy.” Much has changed over the past 27 years in how we all go about business. But in New Jersey, not all that much has changed as to how municipalities go about their business. The recent series of articles in the Daily Record highlighted the challenges that confront us as we look to tackle New Jersey’s crushing tax burden. Solutions were offered that include tax base sharing, regionalization and consolidation. All excellent ideas (and yes, ones that I’ve been pushing for a long time). But what have we gotten over the years? The great ballyhooed “inter-local service agreements,” often referred to as “shared service agreements” are timid, small steps that fall far short of the kind of comprehensive, long term solutions we need. Shared service agreements are short term, usually only a year or so, and are subject to the whims of new mayors or council or committee members. They’re ad hoc and scattered. Washington Township has such agreements with Califon for police service and municipal court services. We had such agreements with The Chesters for emergency dispatch service until that was recently ruined. We have one with Chester Township for financial officer services and we’re contemplating one for health department services. Oh, and we’re apparently talking with Tewksbury about something as well. Unfortunately, this is the kind of scattershot, ad hoc, short term way of doing business that, while possibly better than the days when each municipality had to have its own of Continued on page 27

Community Gathers to Give Three T’s

nder a beautiful, cloudless September sky, over fifteen hundred people walked the perimeter of the Rockaway Mall recently in support of the eighth annual Saint Clare’s Walk for Breast Cancer Awareness. Hosted by the Hilton Garden Inn, the Township of Rockaway, and the Rockaway Townsquare Mall, the event was held to raise awareness of breast cancer. The walk promoted early diagnosis as well as St. Clare’s newest cancer treatment, TomoTherapy, a revolutionary therapy integrating CT imaging and the latest in radiation technology. When Ben Martin, Marketing Manager for St. Clare’s Health System, stood at the podium before the walk, he told the story of the “traveling shirt.” “The first year it was done behind the scenes,” he said, describing an incident that occurred at the 2007 walk. Donita Judge, a Denville resident, had come to the walk in the midst of her battle with breast cancer. With no shirts left, the chair of the walk committee, Sandy Warner, gave Judge her own shirt. “The next year,” Martin continued, “…Donita got onstage and explained what happened to her. She asked if there was anyone she could give the shirt to. She gave it to Linda Hartman.” When Linda Hartman spoke into the microphone at this year’s walk, she held up the wig she had worn last year when she received the shirt. “Last year, I had no hair. I wanted so desperately to feel better again,” Hartman told the crowd. “I want all of you to know what a difference a year makes.” TD Bank.” Wilson is this year’s recipient of the Mary walked, we gained inner strength and a sense of accomWhile Judge was unable to attend this year’s event (She Mulholland Spirit Award, which recognizes outstanding plishment.
