A Work Ethic To Be Admired
overwhelming to most. His hobbies include
photography, camping, and taking trips into
New York City. “I just saw Mary Poppins on
Broadway,” Kevins says. “And I’m going to a
Yankees game in April.”
Kevin Gogel’s work ethic is undeniable. As
Maintenance Supervisor at Gogel Tire and
My Limo, he starts his day at 7:30 AM. Over
the past fourteen years, he has made himself
indispensable, cleaning the inside facility,
taking out the garbage and recycling and
maintaining the parking lot.
But unlike many, Kevin isn’t just “working for
the weekend.” The obvious dedication and
friendly disposition that one observes as he
performs his day-to-day duties suggests how
much he enjoys his work. “I like my job,”
Kevin says. “I like the people.”
“I make sure we keep everything clean,”
Kevin says. Aside from his regular tasks,
he’s also known to pitch in wherever needed,
whether refilling the customer coffee pot
or fixing the vacuum cleaner. “He’s self-starting,” says Howard Gogel, owner and CEO of
My Limo.
So self-starting, in fact, that Kevin chooses
to go beyond working a five-day, 40-hour
week at Gogel Tire and My Limo. For the
past eleven years, he has also worked one
day a week at Picatinny Arsenal, where he is
coached by staff from Employment Horizons.
Kevin says that his position at Picatinny has
allowed him to gain valuable social skills,
which he often applies at Gogel Tire and My
Limo as he greets customers. “It helped him
to be able to make friends,” Howard Gogel
said of Kevin’s position at Picatinny, which he
has held since 2001.
His two jobs also give Kevin the opportunity to earn a paycheck with which he is
both wise and generous. “I save a lot; every
Monday, I put money in the bank,” Kevin says.
“Sometimes I take my dad to breakfast, and I
buy things for my niece.”
Kevin also has a full social calendar, even
with a work schedule that would seem
Just as Kevin values his job, his fellow coworkers and customers at Gogel Enterprises
value and appreciate him and the high quality
of his work. From office space, to the lobby,
to the service center, he plays an integral role
in the maintenance of every area. “This place
would be a mess without Kevin,” Howard
Gogel says. “When he goes on vacation, we
all really miss him.”
Kevin is the epitome of our many workers
who “live to work” rather than work to live!
Thank you for giving them a chance!

Paul J. Harrington Memorial Fund
Just months after its creation, the Paul J. Harrington Memorial Fund has raised $8,890 to date.
Earlier this year, in collaboration with the Harrington family, Employment Horizons established the
Paul J. Harrington Memorial Fund to commemorate the life of the late Paul J. Harrington, a friend,
benefactor, and Board member, and continue his legacy here at Employment Horizons.
Our goal is to raise $16,000 with the money raised to be used
exclusively to provide culinary skills training to individuals interested
in pursuing jobs in the food service industry. Patty, a trainee in this
new program, has been benefitting from culinary skills training and
gaining work experience since July 2011. She now works independently, carrying preparation of menu items from start to completion.
If you would like to donate to the Paul J. Harrington Memorial Fund,
you may do so online at www.emhorizons.org or by mailing a check
made payable to “Employment Horizons, Inc.” with Paul J. Harrington
Memorial Fund in the memo portion.

A Message from . . . Jurate Fiory, Executive Director
The advancement of Equal Employment opportunities for individuals with
disabilities have come a long way since
Employment Horizons was founded 55
years ago and a great deal of progress
was made after the signing of the Americans with Disabilities Act in 1990 by
then President Bush.
It was recently announced that New Jersey will become the 14th
state to adopt an Employment First initiative. The initiative embraces
a philosophy which actively promotes competitive employment for
people with disabilities in the general workforce. Three state departments, Human Services, Labor and Workforce Development
and Education will make more resources available to enhance job
opportunities for individuals with special needs. “Everyone should
have the opportunity to be productive, earn a living, and feel a sense
of personal fulfillment from employment…” , said Governor Christie
and I could not agree more.
Unfortunately, this initiative may have little impact on reducing the
high rate of unemployment for people with disabilities unless it also
educates human resource professionals and those who make hiring
decisions. Sadly, some individuals charged with the responsibility for
hiring are misinformed or have negative perceptions of people with
disabilities. To highlight these attitudes and misperceptions, the ABC
Primetime TV show “What Would You Do?” hosted by John Quiones
filmed an epsiode at a Morristown coffee shop demonstrating the
employment discrimination that qualified people with disabilities
still face more than 20 years after the American with Disabilities Act
(ADA)was adopted. As you may be aware this program employs
actors to engage in controversial situations and records people’s
reactions with a hidden camera. This segment focused on two young
ladies who are deaf responding to a Help Wanted sign in the window.
They are confronted by an overtly prejudiced manager who clearly
states that he will not hire a deaf person for a kitchen job. Overhearing this exchange, many customers in the room appear visibly
uncomfortable and some even speak out in support of the applicants.
However, the most astonishing reaction occurs when three persons
who identify themselves as Human Resource recruiters offer advice
to the manager on how to best deal with such a situation. The first
says “take the application and write a note on the back that this is
not a good fit”, the second indicates “accept the application, just don’t
call” and the third agrees “that not hiring a person because of a disability is not a problem, just don’t say it out loud”.
To watch this scenario go to YouTube, type in “deaf employment discrimination” and scroll down to this show. This video highlights the
inequity that many job seekers with disabilities encounter on a daily
basis. Attitudes are difficult to change. Perhaps funding to address
this problem should precede the Employment First Initiative.
Employment Horizons continues to be in the forefront of educating
the public on the need to allow individuals with disabilities an opportunity to demonstrate their capabilities rather than perpetuating
a preconceived notion of inability due to the existence of a disability.
With your support, we continue to make progress in what sometimes seems like an uphill battle.
2012 Slate of Officers Prepares for the New Year
Services, LLC;Vice President Paul Monacelli,
ADP Statewide Insurance Agency; Secretary
Cecelia Kennedy, Plymouth Rock Management Company of New Jersey; and Treasurer Michael Kennedy, iPacesetters. Outgoing
Board Members Richard Askoff of NECA
and Tom Garvey of CIGNA Healthcare
were honored at the dinner for their years
of service, and Edmond J. Harrison, Business
Manager, New Jersey Airports at the Port
Authority of New York & New Jersey, was
welcomed as a new board member.
On January 24th, Employment Horizons
hosted its Annual Board of Trustees Dinner at Il Giardino Restaurant. The dinner,
attended by current and former trustees, as
well as members of the organization’s Community Advisory Board and the Employment
Horizons management team kicks off the
new year and sets the stage for the year’s
priorities.
The evening’s speaker, Lewis Benfatti, principal of Hopatcong Middle School, advocated
an attitude of determination and focus in
achieving one’s goals. Employment Horizons’ Board President Gregory R. Canose
recognized this same outlook in the Employment Horizons staff and the 2011 Board of
Trustees when he expressed gratitude for
the agency’s remarkable efforts and accomplishments of 2011.
of the organization’s Culinary Arts Training
Program. During training, individuals with disabilities learn food service skills and operate
the on-site cafeteria, Café Horizons, which
opened in July. Plans for 2012 include the
expansion of the popular program.
Notable among the many achievements of
the year was the agency’s reaccredidation by
CARF International and the implementation
The 2012 slate of officers, which was
confirmed at January’s meeting, includes:
President Gregory Canose, Award Marketing
“I am delighted to serve an organization
that has had a long, distinguished history
of providing employment opportunities for
those in need,” Harrison said.
Harrison is a resident of Short Hills, and
holds a Bachelor’s degree from Fairfield University and a Master’s of Business Administration from the City University of New York,
Baruch College.

Tiffany & Co.
The relationship between Employment Horizons and Tiffany & Co. dates back
to 2007 and has progressed into expanded work opportunities for individuals with disabilities, many of whom had fallen victim to the economic slump.
After the construction of the TCO Distribution Center in Hanover Township,
TCO HR Management approached local neighbor, Employment Horizons Inc.
regarding partnership opportunities. Discussions ensued as to items that
could logistically be packaged utilizing the work skills of the Employment Horizons workforce. TCO was very open-minded, including Joe Shearn, Jr.,Vice
President, Distribution, who was enthusiastic about the idea of increasing the
TCO labor pool by giving opportunities to people with special needs.
Annida Evans, Manager, Distribution, noted the high quality of work performed by the Employment Horizons workers. The initial reaction on
reviewing the work product was sheer delight as TCO determined that there
was little if any need to “redo” any of the packaging work. “We anticipated
having to do so much more and were astounded by the incredibly high quality
of the work product,” said Evans.
The impact on the Employment Horizons’ workers has also been life-altering.
For Julie, who has been employed for almost 2 years, the Tiffany work has
allowed her to gain much-needed self-confidence. Failing to find a paying job
had resulted in her volunteering at a local library for 8 years. Desiring to find
a job where she could help contribute to her family’s income and gain a sense
of dignity, Julie came to Employment Horizons. Today, she is proud of her
persistence in finding meaningful employment and her family is thrilled with
her progress. She has made friends and credits Rachael, her job supervisor,
for providing the support needed to overcome feelings of inadequacy which
society places on individuals who are unemployed. “I am incredibly grateful
to have this job. I don’t have to fill out forms indicating that I am unemployed
and I can contribute to the purchasing of groceries and fuel for the car,” said
Julie.
Recently, the Tiffany team introduced Employment Horizons’ work to
Jon King, EVP of Tiffany & Co., who was thrilled to learn of the innovative
relationship incorporated by the TCO HR and Distribution team. In order
to express their appreciation to Julie and the other Employment Horizons’
workers, they arranged for a field trip to their flagship store in New York,
where they were treated to lunch and a tour hosted by Tiffany Ambassador
Dale Marcovitz who charmed them with her knowledge of the Tiffany & Co.
legacy and allowed them an opportunity to see the merchandise in the retail
store. This perfect day
included a take home
item in a Tiffany blue
box to “celebrate” the
visit to the people and
the place that has given
them all the opportunity to be full members
of society, valued for
the work they do.
CUSTOMER CORNER
iSi North America
Over 200 years ago, the iSi Group, the world’s largest
manufacturer of high-quality cream and food whippers,
soda siphons, and their respective chargers was founded
in Vienna, Austria. In 1977, New Jersey-based division iSi
North America, Inc. was founded and in 2011, iSi North
America came to Employment Horizons and our partnership began.
Working with a previous packaging company, Tom
Lineweaver, Director of Operations for iSi North
America approached his trucking company to recommend a packaging company that could provide better
service, improved quality, timeliness and cleanliness. The
trucking company referred him to Employment Horizons
where he was impressed with the efficiency and cleanliness of our facility and the positive attitudes of workers
and staff in our fulfillment division.
Just weeks later, Employment Horizons’ program participants began their first job for iSi North America, labeling
and packaging charger holders and whipped cream heads
for the cream whippers often used at coffee shops and
ice cream parlors. Approximately one job/month with
thousands of items has been arriving in our warehouse.
Packaging jobs have included CO2 soda chargers, which
are used in at-home carbonated soda machines as well
as labeling and packaging barbecue tongs to be sold by
a major retailer. “Employment Horizons delivers on
their promises,” Lineweaver says. “I’m looking forward to
increasing our partnership with them.”
Employment Horizons is proud to parner with iSi North
America and we look
forward to continuing
a long and rewarding
partnership.

Employment Horizons Welcomes CDBG
Employment Horizons was pleased to welcome the Community
Development Revenue Sharing Advisory Committee which hosted its
February meeting at our facility. Employment Horizons’ staff thanked
the members and the Division of Community Development staff for
their “history of support” which has been instrumental in helping us
to fulfill our mission to people with disabilities.
zons was excited to provide tours to allow committee members to
see first-hand the results of their investments. Committee members
enjoyed lunch prepared by program participants training in our
culinary arts program and served in the agency’s Board Room.
Over the years, support has enabled us to hire a Bi-Lingual Employment Specialist, a Culinary Arts Program Manager, and a Technology
Trainer in addition to facilities improvements which have included
the addition of automatic doors in restrooms and entrances, ADA
compliant restrooms, energy efficiency initiatives and the renovation
of our Fulfillment Center.
Funding for these projects was made available through federal Housing and Urban Development block grants following a highly competitive application process, Advisory Committee award recommendation
and approval by the Morris County Freeholders. Employment Hori-
Videophone Enhances Communication
for Sign Language Users
Employment Horizons recently installed a videophone to enhance
communication between program participants and staff that use sign
language. Sign language users may include persons who are Deaf,
Hard of Hearing and those with certain communication challenges.
Communication is more accurate because it utilizes an individual’s
primary language. The videophone will be valuable for program
participants working in our agency-based social enterprises as well
as those working on job sites in the community. A variety of uses
include calling in to one’s EH Work Supervisor when absent due to illness, scheduling job interviews with a Job Developer, and even remote
counseling and off-site job coaching. Rachael DiCioccio, EH supervisor who is proficient in American Sign Language (ASL) notes “It is so
exciting that EH is able to keep up with the rapidly advancing technology that opens so many doors for persons with disabilities. To see the
faces of the program participants light up when we showed them the
new videophone was worth all the hard work to obtain it.”
Videophones have become
the preferred technology
among sign language users and
are rapidly replacing Teletypwriters (TTYs) which require
typing into a keyboard. Person-to-person visual communication is made possible
via small television screens in
the phones while still providing the traditional option of
using a relay interpreter. Employment Horizons’ videophone model
includes all the modern functions to which we are accustomed such
as a phone book, caller ID and messaging (video).
SPRING is Abundant with GREEN
Employment Horizons again held its annual spring clothing drive
on April 18th, 19th and 20th! The drive, yielding 2,689 pounds of
clothing, shoes, and sundries resulted in another successful fundraiser for our agency. A record number of 12 bicycles were donated
to help increase the weight of the donation! Bicycles in working
condition are in need and are
accepted at no fee. Please keep
this in mind for our fall drive
scheduled for October 24, 25
and 26. Proceeds raised will
benefit the program participants
working toward gaining valuable
job skills training through the
programs and services offered
at Employment Horizons.
On Saturday April 21st, Employment Horizons once again partnered
with Hanover Township’s “Green Team” to provide its first quarterly
Community Shred Day for 2012. Township employees and residents
as well as Employment Horizons’ employees welcomed 60 area residents and municipal employees and shredded 1,964 lbs. of paper.
By partnering with the community we have done much to refurbish,
reuse and recycle many items, saving space in landfills and helping to
better the environment for our children and grandchildren and raise
much-needed awareness and funding for the people with disabilities
served by Employment Horizons. Thank you for doing your part!
Visit our website at www.emhorizons.org for the date of our next
shred day as well as our October clothing drive dates!

Kathleen Martinez Visits Kessler
Employment Horizons, along with 6 other organizations joined Kathleen Martinez, Assistant Secretary of Labor for the Office of Disability
Employment Policy (ODEP) for a panel presentation held at Kessler
Foundation (Kessler) in West Orange on Friday, January 27th. Presentations included employment initiatives supported by Kessler and
strategies for the future of employment policies for individuals with
disabilities. Kessler Foundation has distributed $2.7 million in grant
funding to innovative disability employment programs including those
offered by Employment Horizons.
“Kessler Foundation is the gas that fuels the programs to provide
job opportunities for people with disabilities,” said Ms. Martinez. “Its
creativity, innovation and team-building serve as a catalyst for creating
sustainable employment options for the disability community.” Mark
Stephenson, Assistant Executive Director presented on the successful
strategies funded by the Kessler Foundation and utilized by Employment Horizons to promote employment for individuals with disabilities in the greater Morris County Area.
Elaine Katz,Vice President of Grants and Special Initiatives at Kessler
Foundation, said, “Having a diverse work force sparks new ideas that
benefit consumers.We must make sure that people with disabilities,
who represent the largest minority group in the nation with 54 million, are considered an integral part of workplace diversity.” Through
its research and grant funds, Kessler continues to demonstrate that
people with disabilities can be productive, become taxpayers, and
contribute in a meaningful way.
According to the 2010 Kessler Foundation/NOD Survey of Americans with Disabilities, nearly 80 percent of working-age individuals
with disabilities are unemployed. “We need to practice what we
preach by demonstrating that we can be successful in hiring people with disabilities in all sectors and have an inclusive workforce
wherever possible,” said Ms. Martinez. “Growing up as a blind girl in
the 1970s, I wasn’t encouraged to go to college. I was placed as a factory worker. Even now, society tends to have very low expectations
of people with disabilities. We need to raise our expectations and
understand that their abilities outweigh limitations.”

MAPS Celebrates 25 Years of Service
Employment Horizons congratulates The
Morris Area Paratransit System (MAPS) on
25 years of service to the residents of
Morris County. MAPS provides curbto-curb transportation to Morris County
residents who are at least 60 years of age, or
those who have a disability or who reside in
a rural area of the county. The MAPS drivers
use a variety of vehicles to provide weekday
trips for medical, education, employment and
other appointments, as available.
With a staff of 34 individuals, the MAPS
program has provided 70,259 one-way trips
in 2011 for 1,755 clients. Funded from
Federal, State and County sources, MAPS has
implemented email service for client reservations, expanded RouteMatch scheduling
software to the 5 Town Dial-A-Ride program
with plans to add four more communities
with the software in 2012 and has re-routed
all Nutrition Home Delivered Meal delivery
routes for more efficient use of drivers and
the elimination of Meals on Wheels waiting
lists. Despite reduced revenues from the
New Jersey Casino industry resulting in funding reductions in revenue streams, MAPS has
increased ridership through the use of Route
Match Software Technology. In 2012, they will
launch Mobility Management training to nonprofit providers. This training will provide information on available transportation options
directly to the staff who work with consumers. MAPS has been invaluable in supporting
the mission of Employment Horizons and we
are pleased to have them as a partner here in
Morris County.

please contact 888-282-6277.
In-Service Provides Additional Opportunities to Excel
“Those who dare to teach must never cease to learn.” This quote
from John Cotton Dana, an attorney, American librarian and founder
of the Newark Museum rings true for all of us. Mr. Dana’s life-long
mission was to promote the benefits of reading and teachers colleges across the country use this quote to accent the importance
of continued learning for all. Whether it is a transition fair, a Rotary
presentation or other panel or presentation opportunity, at Employment Horizons, education and learning is something we embrace as
both students and as teachers. For our staff at Employment Horizons, knowledge is power!
On February 13, the staff participated in an in-service presentation
provided by Dr. Stuart Isralowitz, Phd, with Short Hills Associates in
Clinical Psychology. The topic, “Working With Clients on the Autistic
Spectrum” provided insight into the area of Autistic Spectrum disorders which over the last 3 years has increased from 5% to 15%. Dr.
Isralowitz provided information regarding what behaviors communicate and how to work with specified behaviors. Teaching methods
such as the use of visuals and modeling/role-play were highlighted
as a means to assist individuals for whom communication and social
skills are more difficult.
In-service training programs regarding disabilities and other health
and employment-related topics are provided several times a year
to keep the staff informed of techniques, methodologies and other
areas.
Harpell Receives Resolution of Appreciation
Congratulations to Sasha Harpell for her recent
“Volunteer of the Year” recognition by Morris

work at Morris View.
Sasha has volunteered her time for 20 years,
serving as a church escort helping residents in
need of assistance and was ultimately “promoted” to a “Greeter,” welcoming residents and visitors attending Sunday worship services at the Hanover
Avenue Healthcare Center. “Volunteering is what I do best!” says Harpell and
the County couldn’t agree more!
