Learn About Bicycle/Pedestrian Plan At Public Meeting

esidents and other people who frequent Chester are encouraged to attend a public meeting to learn about a study and recommendations for the community, on Wed., April 27, at 7 p.m., at the Chester Township Municipal Building.

Chester Borough and Chester Township are working to improve cycling and walking conditions throughout the community by planning for future bicycle and pedestrian networks that will link parks, schools, and neighborhoods with the center of town.

The recommendations will focus on improving safety and mobility, and serve as the basis for implementing future bicycle and pedestrian projects in Chester.

T

This plan is being developed for the Borough of Chester and Chester Township by NJDOT, Office of Bicycle & Pedestrian Programs, with consulting by Urban Engineers, Inc. Chester was accepted into this statewide assistance program at no cost to the Township or Borough.

Several years ago, hundreds of residents and visitors to Chester provided input into the first phase of this project, and the results were published as the Integrated Trails Plan for the Chesters. This next phase seeks to move forward on some of the recommendations published in the Integrated Trails Plan.

Breakthrough Treatment Now Available In Long Valley

Imagine thirty to forty years ago if you were told that lasers would replace scalpels in surgery or that robotic instruments would build cars; you may not have believed it. By the same token would you believe that chiropractic treatments could be performed using a special hand-held instrument developed by NASA scientists; all while you were sitting in an upright position without turning or twisting movements?

Advances in computers and engineering technologies have been able to uniquely blend with chiropractic in order to both analyze and treat the human body in such a way that was never before realized.

According to Dr. Michael S. Hyjek, “This new form of computerized treatment is so gentle and effective, that it amazes even the most skeptical patients. It’s called the Impulse IQ Adjuster and is the latest, state-of-the-art technology in existence today, and the only one in the Long Valley area” The Impulse IQ Adjuster can safely and gently analyze and treat the spine and other joints to remove the nerve impingement that is often the cause of pains in the low back, neck, shoulder and elsewhere in the body. It also works on a variety of muscular conditions to loosen tight muscles with ease and comfort. Many patients say that it’s like getting a mini-massage.

It can also help increase the amount of motion in almost any joint. Even patients with knee, hip and foot problems such as plantar fasciitis are being helped. It is also covered by most insurance companies including medicare.

Dr. Michael S. Hyjek, “the secret to the Impulse IQ Adjuster lies in its advanced piezoelectric sensor that is able to detect the slightest amount of restriction in a joint and then deliver an extremely precise adjustment.” He says that “Even though traditional forms of adjusting also work, people are drawn to this new technique because

Dr. Michael S. Hyjek uses the Impulse IQ Adjuster to analyze a patient’s spine and pin-point areas of nerve impingement syndrome causing malfunction and pain.

of how gentle it is and does not involve any twisting, especially in the neck. Many people love getting adjusted with traditional manual techniques, all of which are safe and effective, but there are a large number of people who never get to experience the amazing benefits of chiropractic because they are scared to have their spines adjusted in

that way,” says Dr. Michael S. Hyjek, Now, there is no longer a reason for anyone to be weary. The Impulse IQ Adjuster is perfect for anyone who has been thinking about going to a chiropractor, but hasn’t yet made that decision. Dr. Michael S. Hyjek, wants everyone to be able to experience these same benefits and if you have any of the following conditions, the Impulse IQ Adjuster may be the answer you’ve been looking for…

• Low back discomfort • Fibromyalgia • Sciatic nerve pain * Planter Fascitis • Neck and shoulder pain • Knee or hip pain • TMJ dysfunction • Scoliosis • Carpal Tunnel Syndrome • Arthritis • Headaches • Sports injuries Treatment with the Impulse IQ Adjuster is consistent, measurable and extremely gentle.

T

By Anastasia Marchese he Ort family’s roots run deep in Long Valley, as they have had six generations work at their family farm on Bartley Road.

In 1916, Jacob Ort moved off his family’s farm in Schooley’s Mountain to their current location. Originally it was primarily a dairy and livestock operation. In 1927 the family’s current patriarch, Harvey J. Ort Sr., was born on the farm. He followed after

wonderful feeling of togetherness is reflected in her voice.

enough to work on the farm, and help with the fall festival and other events throughout the year.

The family recently received the 2016 Century Farm Award presented on March 18 by the NJ Agricultural Society. The Orts have been and still are active members in the society, taking part in various programs, one being the “Farmers Against Hunger” initiative. It is a gleaning program and the Agricultural Society does all the footwork to get the produce to food pantries.

One of the great parts of receiving the Century Farm Award was having Harvey Sr. be part of the ceremony via video chat.

At 89, he wasn’t able to attend in person, but having three generations represented in the farms management reflects the character of the farm. Harvey Sr. still lives in the farmhouse where he was born. In a culture of transience, living in the same town, much less the same house, all one’s

life is an uncommon thing. Even more so, the continued family legacy and involvement in agriculture as a way of life.

Life on the farm is certainly different then it was 100 years ago, not only because of the changes in technology, but in the 1970’s they sold the dairy herd and transitioned to a produce operation. Even though they sold the dairy cows, “they always raised beef and pork for themselves, but since the renewed interest in locally raised meat, we’ve expanded to sell beef and pork,” said Nicole. She works full time as the retail and marketing manager but is quick to point out that is the family, six generations having worked that land, which has brought them to 100 years growing strong.

The Orts are celebrating their centennial with various events, as well as their many ongoing farm operations. To find out more go to www.ortfarms.com.

200 Club Prepares Its Awards Dinner And Continued Growth In Membership And Purpose

By Cheryl Conway ecruiting new members, spreading the word about the club and protecting lives of those who help others are some of the current goals of the 200 Club of Morris County.

Established 45 years ago in Morris County, the 200 Club of Morris County is gearing up for its 44th Annual Valor Meritorious Awards Dinner set for Thurs., April 28, starting with cocktails at 6 p.m., followed by awards and dinner from 7 p.m. to 10 p.m., at the Birchwood Manor in Whippany.

spected institutions of higher learning in the state. For his accomplishments, Heard received the Community College Northeast Trustee of the Year Award.

He has also served on the Roxbury Board of Education, the Board of Directors for Anna Marie College, MA, and he is a Life Member of the NJ State Parent-Teacher Association. Over the years, Heard has led and supported fundraising campaigns to help the homeless, children’s hospitals and veterans.

Heard’s charitable and community work has gained the recognition and praise of U.S. presidents, cabinet members, governors and a long list of national and state charitable organizations.

Born and raised in NJ, Heard said that he owes his commitment to helping his community to his mother, a single mom, who raised him and his four siblings.

Heard is a graduate of Fairleigh Dickinson University, with a bachelor’s degree in accounting and mater’s in taxation and finance. He resides in Succasunna with his wife, Madeline. They have three children and one grandchild.

President’s dangerous nuclear deal with Iran.

Lance was raised in Hunterdon County, where he attended public schools. He holds a bachelor’s degree from Lehigh University; a law degree from Vanderbilt University; and a master’s degree from the Woodrow Wilson School of Public and International Affairs of Princeton University.

Prior to coming to Congress, Lance served as a member of the NJ State Senate where he took on Gov. Whitman over borrowing without voter approval. He is the author of the 2008 Lance Amendment that prohibits further state borrowing without voter approval.

Lance is married to Heidi A. Rohrbach and they have a son, Peter Frank.

recognized and honored for their bravery by the 200 Club, an organization of individuals that support public safety professionals. Firefighters, police and emergency medical providers risked their lives in 11 incidents involving fires, car accidents, gas-filled homes and other emergencies in Morris County towns.

First responders who put their lives at risk earn the Valor Award; those who go beyond the call of duty are awarded the Meritorious Award.

“We’re very lucky to have individuals like these keeping us safe here in Morris County,” said James M. Gannon, president of the 200 Club, in a press release. “It’s an honor to recognize their good work.”

When citizens are in Morris County “running away from crime, these first responders are running toward the fire,” says Gannon during an interview with New View Media Group. “It’s time to put them on a pedal stool and say ‘thanks’ for what they are doing.”

Each recipient will be recognized, receive a plaque and a 200 Club Bar to wear below their badge on their uniform, explains Gannon, a member for the past eight years.

With 37 different police departments in Morris County, submissions can be numerous. A review committee of the 200 Club meets to determine who is worthy of a valor award or meritorious award.

“People selected are the cream of the crop,” says Gannon of Boonton Twp. The Morris County Chief’s Association, Medical Service Alliance and State Police provide candidates to the 200 Club for consideration.

The 200 Club of Morris County was formed in 1971 by a group of 19 concerned business and political leaders; the group doubled by the end of the year and today involves more than 1,100 members. The Morris County club was an outgrowth of the Essex County Club, which was the first 200 Club in NJ that began in 1967.

Each member pays $200 in annual dues, thus, the 200 designation.

The first 200 Club developed in 1952 in response to the fatal shooting of Arthur Meyers, a Detroit, Michigan police officer, according to the club website. Following the shooting, a local businessman, William Packer, asked his friends to donate to a fund in memory of the fallen officer and met with the officer’s widow to support her finances and setup an education account for their unborn child.

Since that time, 118 of these clubs have been established in 28 states with additional clubs in Puerto Rico and Central America. There are currently 18, 200 Clubs in NJ. A non-profit, 501c3 organization, the 200 Club of Morris County supports local police officers, fire fighters, first aid squad members, and NJ state police serving Morris County who die in the line of duty.

When a public safety official loses their life in the line of duty, the Action Committee of The 200 Club of Morris County reaches out to the widow to offer emotional support and financial assistance in the form of a death benefit to

help manage the financial burden during this difficult time.

The current benefit is $30,000.

The 200 Club of Morris County also awards an annual benefit to each eligible child of the public safety official in an effort to help ease the financial concerns created by the loss of their loved one, as stated on the website. At present, the annual benefit is $10,000 per child per year until age 18. Should the child continue onto college, the benefit is increased to $15,000 per year until age 23 or graduation.

Since its inception in 1971, the 200 Club of Morris County has distributed more than $4.3 million in survivor benefits and scholarships to families. For 2016, the club is nearing $1,100 that will be awarded in college scholarships to high school seniors serving in a branch of public safety or whose a parent is actively serving or retired from a public safety capacity in Morris County.

The scholarship committee voted to award 20 scholarships of $5,000 each. The scholarship awards dinner will be May 16 at 6 p.m. at the Zeris Inn. The 200 Club is supported by membership dues and private donations.

“Every year that money goes out to help first responders,” says Lou Nisivoccia of Randolph, previous president of the 200 Club. “If we can recruit more members, we can increase the money given to those lost in the line of duty.

We’ve been slowly increasing the membership. We need to get the word out.”

Last year, Nisivoccia implemented a Power of One program in which each member is encouraged to bring in one new member.

A member for 15 years, Nisivoccia and his wife support several charities and with the 200 Club “We are helping our neighbors right here in Morris County. I want to take care of those people who take care of me every single day.”

In March, the 200 Club of Morris County started its $15,000 Billboard Campaign for the Move Over law, in an continued on page 20

Gannon Runs For Morris County Sheriff In June Primary

he growing momentum behind Republican Jim Gannon’s campaign for Morris County Sheriff is driven by his unmatched law enforcement and security experience, overwhelming support from Morris conservative and Republican leaders, and a fiscal reform agenda that puts taxpayers first.

Before ever considering running for elected office, Gannon of Boonton Twp., enjoyed a 33 year career in law enforcement and global security, starting as a patrolman in Boonton and Boonton Township, followed by tenure as Deputy Chief of Investigations at the Morris County Prosecutor’s Office, the FBI's elite Joint Terrorism Task Force and Morris County¬ based Novartis Pharmaceuticals.

During his decorated career, Gannon also served as commander of the FuncoLand Homicide Task Force and the Walter Contreras Homicide Task Force, formed the Morris County Cold Case Unit, co-authored the “Morris County Counter Terrorism Task Force Manual,” and has lectured and trained fellow professionals, and conducted investigations, in places like Russia, Ukraine, South Africa, Hungary, Thailand and Uzbekistan, uniquely preparing him for the day-to-day battle to protect Morris County citizens from terror attacks by radical groups like ISIS. Gannon grew up in large Irish and Polish Catholic family in Boonton Twp. with two brothers and one sister. His passion for law enforcement came from his father, who was NYPD detective. Gannon graduated Boonton High School where he played multiple sports and also was a member of the Boonton Township Fire Service.

Gannon earned his associate’s degree in

law enforcement from County College of Morris in 1981 and his bachelor’s degree in criminal justice administration from William Paterson University in 1983. After graduation, Gannon started out in his career in law enforcement as a patrolman in his hometown.

Gannon has given back to the surrounding communities as current president of the 200 Club of Morris County; adjunct professor at Centenary College; life member of the NJ State PBA # 327; co-founder of the Morris County Chapter of the Emerald Society of the State of NJ; and as a drum major in the Police Pipes & Drums of Morris County.

Gannon was married to his wife, Lisa, for 26 years before losing her in 2010 after a courageous battle against Multiple Sclerosis. Jim and Lisa had one daughter, Kate DeSantis who, along with her husband Matt, are expecting their first child and Jim’s first grandchild this summer.

Sierchio Enters Race For Morris County Sheriff

ith nearly three decades of law enforcement service and proven experience as a fiscal conservative who has saved millions of taxpayer dollars, John Sierchio is uniquely qualified to protect the families and taxpayers of Morris County as its next sheriff.

Sierchio of Boonton Twp. has more than 27 years of law enforcement experience as both an officer and supervisor of his peers.

He served in the Essex County Sheriff’s Office, the Essex County and Bloomfield police departments. During his time on the Bloomfield Police Department, Sierchio served in the Patrol Division, Emergency Medical Service Unit, and Detective Bureau before being promoted to sergeant, an assignment he continued until reassigned to the Internal Affairs Division.

Sierchio has received dozens of meritorious awards during his service in law enforcement. He volunteered at Ground Zero during the aftermath of 9/11 and received a proclamation from the Los Angeles, California City Council in recognition of his courageous work. Sierchio received a proclamation from the Newark City Council for saving the lives of several residents by entering a burning building before the arrival of the fire department. He also received a proclamation from the Bloomfield Township Council for his work in apprehending a suspect wanted for murder.

In 2004, he was named “PBA Officer of the Year” by the Essex County Conference of PBA’s. In 1995, Sierchio was elected to represent the PBA as the vice-president of Bloomfield PBA Local 32, a position he held until he was elected as State Delegate in 1997, a role he served for nearly 15 years until his promotion to the rank of sergeant.

He has served as a member of the Board of Trustees for the Police and Firemen’s Retirement System in 2002. In his role as chair, he saved millions of dollars for taxpayers and protected the savings of law abiding citizens by exposing fraudulent pension claims.

In Nov. 2009, Sierchio was asked by then Governor-Elect Chris Christie to serve on his Gubernatorial Transition Team. He was appointed by Governor Christie to serve as a member of his Law and Public Safety Subcommittee and was assigned the task of reviewing and providing his recommendations regarding reforms to the Division of NJ State Police, the Division of Highway Traffic Safety, and the Division of Alcoholic Beverage Control.

Sierchio is serving his seventh year as a member of the Boonton Township Board of Education; is active in many clubs and organizations and is a life member of the National Rifle Association. He is married to Lisa and they have four children: Ashley, John, Jordyn and Teresa.

Students Help Keep Morris County Litter Free

By Jane Primerano hildren who spend a few hours picking up litter on their school yard don’t ever think the same way about litter again.

Liz Sweedy, Morris County Clean Communities coordinator, explained the benefit from public school litter cleanups funded through the Keep Morris County Litter Free grants.

The school must conduct a littler cleanup on at least two acres of school property. The property may include ball fields and wooded areas. The cleanup must be held between April 15 and June 6 with participation of a minimum of 20 students with their adult supervisors.

“The students who do the cleanups are pretty grossed out,” Sweedy said.

The $500 grants may be used for outdoor receptacles for recyclables or trash or indoor receptacles for recyclables only, according to the county’s press release. These grants are awarded after the school submits required paperwork to the Morris County Municipal Utilities Authority.

The county press release quotes Freeholder Christine Myers, the freeholder liaison to the MUA. “This is a great opportunity to reinforce how important it is for them to care for their own environment and will show how it also improves our communities and our entire county.”

A second part of the Litter Free program is a poster contest for public school students in grades six through 12, Sweedy explained. The posters illustrate the ill effects of littering and

each school displays the posters drawn by its students, she said. Each school chooses the two considered best and submits them to the county. The four county-wide winners are duplicated on recycling containers with the students’ names and the date of the contest. They are distributed to the schools of the four winners.

“They are heavy-duty metal containers and they look gorgeous at the schools,” Sweedy said, adding each winning student receives a $200 gift card.

Sweedy is hoping more schools participate this year. In 2015, 15 schools participated, but in 2014, 21 schools were part of the contest.

During the cleanup portion of the Litter Free initiative in 2015, 495 students and adult supervisors cleaned up 148 acres and collected 45 bags of trash, 52 bags of recyclables, 66 pounds of scrap metal and 56 pounds of construction debris.

Not all litter is created equal, Sweedy concedes.

Litter dumped near the headwaters of the Raritan River is damaging to birds and fish. The Raritan Headwaters Association pulled nearly two tons of objects, mostly plastic, from the headwaters last year, Sweedy said. Clean Communities works closely with the RHA. “Tiny pieces of plastic, plastic ties and similar things, get cut off and become brittle, birds and fish ingest them,” she said.

Clean Communities also works with the Morris County Mosquito Control Department collecting tires.

“Last year they collected 966 tires,” Sweedy said.

Some municipalities sell stickers for tire disposal and the Parsippany Transfer Station takes them on certain days. But the state tire grant is no longer in place, so many county residents don’t have a convenient place to get rid of them. Some tire dealers do take old tires for a small fee, but not all do, she added.

Additional information on the grants is available from Sweedy at 973-285-8393.

7 Places Mosquitoes Might Be Hiding In Your Yard

pring has sprung, which means that mosquito season is almost here. These tiny insects could be living, flying and breeding right in your yard, and you might not even know it.

Mosquitoes aren’t just a nuisance, they are also a health threat. Some species common in the United States can carry and spread Zika virus, Chikungunya virus, West Nile virus and canine heart worm. The first sign of mosquito activity is usually buzzing from female mosquitoes and their bites.

Where Mosquitoes Breed Female mosquitoes can lay as many as 100 eggs at a time. They can lay eggs in just a few inches of standing water, making pinpointing breeding sites a challenge. To help homeowners, Orkin Entomologist Ron Harrison, Ph.D., reveals seven places mosquitoes like the most and offers advice on how to help keep them out of your yard.

• Gutters. If enough debris is left to collect over time, dirty gutters can clog up and create pockets of water perfect for mosquito breeding. Cleaning gutters regularly to make sure water is flowing smoothly can help keep mosquitoes from breeding so close to your home.

• Toys. They are an often overlooked source of standing water, but toys can collect pockets of water and just a few inches is enough for a mosquito to raise a family.

• Flower pots. Rainwater can collect in saucers under flower pots. If left to sit for days, the water becomes an excellent breed-

A

ing spot for mosquitoes.

• Bird baths. Even though birds eat a variety of insects, standing water in bird baths left unchecked for days at a time can become an oasis for female mosquitoes looking for a place to lay eggs. Inspect and change the water weekly to avoid an infestation.

• Rain barrels. If water is used within a few days, it will likely not be enough time to create a mosquito problem, but if water is left standing for multiple days, be prepared to find a hotbed of hungry pests.

• Plants. Some plants can hold water in their “mouths” and offer mosquitoes enough standing water to lay their eggs. Other shrubbery can serve as a hide-out for grown mosquitoes. In addition to blood, mosquitoes feed on nectar from flowers, so they often hide in shrubbery during the day. Thinning dense shrubbery to increase air flow can help reduce the number of adult mosquitoes in your yard.

• Tree cavities. Each year, cavities in tree stumps and trunks are filled with water by rainfall or melting ice and snow, and mosquitoes may choose these holes for breeding.

While it can be difficult to remove the standing water, a licensed professional can help identify and treat these areas.

• Low points in the yard. Any areas lower than the rest of your yard may collect and hold standing water. Make note of these areas when patrolling and be sure to inspect and drain them if necessary.

Take Back Your Yard

It’s important to do a weekly inspection of your entire yard to locate and eliminate any standing water. It’s also a good idea to encourage your neighbors to do the same so that mosquitoes aren’t traveling from their yard

to yours.

If you’ve done everything you can to help prevent mosquitoes and are still having problems, you may need a licensed professional.

Tips to Get Your Yard Summer-Ready

lthough you may be itching to get back outside, before you can relax there’s work to do. After enduring the wear and tear of fall and winter, most yards need attention to get back into summer shape.

These tips from the experts at Sun Joe will help you clean up your entire yard in time for summer so there’s more time to enjoy the great outdoors: • Garden – Prepare your planting bed by using a tiller before seeding. Loosening up existing soil helps water and nutrients reach your new plants’ roots. Better yet, add some manure before tilling to create a healthy growing environment.

• Trees – Spring and summer are all about new life and dead tree limbs hanging around your home can kill the mood. Instead of climbing up a rickety latter with clippers, keep your feet planted and use Sun Joe’s cordless Pole Chain Saw. This lightweight chainsaw allows you to saw off dead limbs

and let gravity do the rest… just make sure to stand back using the 15-foot extension.

• Mulch – Use the mild weather of spring before it gets too hot to lay down or freshen up the mulch around your plants. A thin (2-3 inches deep) layer of mulch around your landscape will help keep roots cool in the upcoming summer months and warm when cooler weather inevitably returns again.

• Grass – When your grass is recovering from the long winter, you should wait until your soil dries out before starting work on your lawn because being too eager and working on soggy soil can harm already tender new grass roots. Once your grass is alive and growing, mow only once you need to – grass is at its healthiest if you cut no more than a third of the blade. Get your timing right and your neighbors will notice that the grass is always greener on your side.

Run For God Program Gets Family On Track

By Anastasia Marchese n 2013, Dave Hickey presented his church family at Grace Church on the Mount in Netcong with a new ministry, “Run for God.” This twelve week walk/run program follows the book “Devotions: Finding God in a Runners Space”

by Mitchell Hollis. “Run for God” is a national ministry which shows the parallels between principles of the Bible and a running in a physical race.

When Hickey made his presentation, Steve and Aggie Beede were on stage at the church, leading worship with the praise team. “We looked at each other and without saying anything we knew we needed to do it,” said Aggie. “We were overweight and out of shape. We started from zero, no experience whatsoever. We were feeling guilty, but not doing anything about it.”

Steve and Aggie joined the first “Run for God” class that Grace Church organized.

“It teaches you how to eat healthy, what kind of shoes you should wear, and how to avoid injury,” says Aggie. “You learn how to stretch, all the basics to be a good runner/walker.” It doesn’t only address physical health though, but focuses on the connections between the physical race that the participants are preparing for and the spiritual race of life- “let us lay aside every weight, and the sin which doth so easily beset us, and let us run with patience the race that is set before us, Looking unto Jesus the author and finisher of our faith,” from Hebrews 12:1-2pp.

“We learn to love God and understand his ways,” says Aggie. “We have a half an hour of bible study.” After the bible study the class goes on to learn something health related, followed by a walk/run. The goal of the first twelve weeks is to complete the Roxbury 5K Run. “It is the graduation race. The program goes slow, so by then you are ready,” Aggie says.

Completing their first 5K wasn’t the end for the Beedes, but just the beginning of their journey towards continued health and fitness. In the three years since, “Steve has already run two marathons and I have run three half marathons, and this year I am ready to run the New York Marathon.” Aggie is excited to share the life changing effects this program has had in her family. When asked what kept her and her husband moving forward as runners after they accomplished their first goal, Aggie was enthusiastic, “You see changes in your body and your bad habits. You accomplished a goal. You think, ‘What’s next? Let’s keep going!”

Aggie is clear that she doesn’t attribute these life changes to herself alone, “When it is hard, we focus our eyes on God. We say ‘God carry me on.”

Another part of the Beedes continued commitment to running and healthy living, has to do with the great friendships that are cultivated through the “Run for God” program.

“We make a lot of friends and continue to run together and encourage one another,” she says. “When you go long distance and you are going slowly you get to talk. We make good friends. We make great, great friends.”

The current twelve week session of “Run for God” has already begun, but if interested in the program contact Dave Hickey at Church on the Mount at hoofcarepro@gmail.com and check out the church’s website www.grace4families.com and the Run for God website at www.runforgod.com.

Storage Place And Low Interest Mortgage Needed To Save Shelter

By Cheryl Conway rateful for some monetary and furniture donations in her last call for help, the founder of a battered women’s shelter organization continues her search for a hero to hold the mortgage.

Sandra Ramos of Ringwood, a pioneer advocate for battered women who has sheltered and strengthened women and children for more than four decades is reaching out to others to help save the shelter at risk for foreclosure.

The founder and director of Strengthen Our Sisters (SOS) is looking for someone to hold the mortgage at a lower interest rate so she can continue to provide housing for 155 women and children in shelters located in New Foundland, Wanaque and West Milford. SOS is a grassroots, community based non-profit, program serving homeless/battered women and children since 1977.

“They are working with us,” says Ramos about Rialto Capital Management Advisors in Florida which currently holds the mortgage bridge loan. She says she has six more months to raise $15,000 to avoid a foreclosure.

Established in 1977 as Shelter Our Sisters - the first shelter for battered women in North America- the organization changed its name to Strengthen Our Sisters and has since grown to eight houses, two day care centers, a food pantry and a thrift store. The properties’ value a total of $2.5 million, with $580,000 left to be paid.

A woman from Chatham recently donated $2,500; others

Fully Insured Free Estimates

gave holiday baskets and furniture.

“Lots of people donated food and Easter baskets but if they don’t have a place to live where are they going to keep their Easter baskets?” she asks. The same holds true with the furniture donations.

About 20 people recently have called offering to donate furniture. Although grateful for all of the donations, Ramos says the next hurdle is trying to find or afford a storage place to hold the furniture.

“People called to donate furniture,” says Ramos. “We don’t have room to store the furniture. We need a storage place. People donating beautiful furniture.”

Ramos says the furniture “will come in handy for women” when they are able to move into an apartment or a place of their own to live.

Through her shelter program, Ramos says “thousands have been saved” during the past 46 years. Many of the women and children her organization helps “don’t have families,” are on section eight, have families or friends “who don’t like them; who don’t want to help them. We have a lot of dysfunctional families.

“We are the only shelter who will take people,” says Ramos. “No one else takes these people from social services.”

With two hotline numbers, Ramos has made herself available to help others- women who could have been forced to live on the streets facing prostitution, living in cars, some having epilepsy or breathing disorders, she describes.

Ramos started her first shelter in 1970 in her three bedroom home in Hackensack. She had three small children at the time, was facing divorce after ten years of marriage and was in need of a roommate, she explains. One roommate turned into 23 women in her house at one point, she admits.

Over the years, in 1977, her initiative became Shelter Our Sisters. The mission of SOS is to break the cycle of domestic violence, poverty and abuse by restoring balance and harmony through individual empowerment.

To support her organization, Ramos receives some money from the Passaic County Dept. of Human Services, private donations, counties and social services, “but not enough to keep it going. We have a transportation grant but they took it away. We have five vans; we need help. We’ve been running for three and a half years with a non-paid staff,” down from a paid staff of 55 that were let go when SOS lost funding, she says.

Ramos currently has 17 non-paid volunteers who drive the shelter residents to look for jobs, to court, doctor appointments, social services, schools; they fix things, watch children.

SOS recently held a tricky tray and dinner fundraiser and in May plans to host a 3K run/walk and later that month, a Mother’s Day fundraising event. For more details about these events and SOS, go to http://www.strengthenoursisters.org/.

To make a donation or to help, email scb@optonline.net or call Ramos at 973-831-0898 or 973-831-6156.

Thomas Edison – His Hallmark Of Personal Success – A Super Garage

By Michele Guttenberger he hallmark of every successful businessman is to own a family mansion and to have a state of the art garage.

Thomas Edison had both.

His Glenmont estate home in West Orange that he purchased in 1886 was the decorating and design concept of the former owner Henry C Pedder. However, Edison’s garage was his own innovative design and creation that he built in 1908. Edison oversaw the construction himself because it was an entirely new creation in building construction.

Building his private garage helped him to launch his new business venture – a patented technique of constructing mass-produced, poured-cement houses using iron molds. His garage and the original Yankee stadium became the same cement poured by his own Edison Portland Cement company.

Since Thomas Edison was in the vehicle battery business, he owned electric cars. And in 1908 his garage included battery charging stations for them. Edison invented the alkaline storage battery in 1901 and spent years

perfecting it for use in automobiles. Edison also had a gasoline filling 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 rotated the resting car to a desired parking position. The driver never had to struggle backing the car into a spot, the turntable did the navigating.

The garage helped turn Edison into an involved family man too. The garage gave him the liberty to tinker with his sons Theodore and Charles on home built motorized projects. At the age of 10, Charles Edison, future governor of NJ, built with his dad a workable vehicle from a two cycle marine engine and a drive belt.

Today the garage houses a 1911 Detroit Electric, a 1914 Detroit Electric, a 1922 Ford Model T, a 1908 Locomobile and a 1936 Brewster. The garage is available for public viewing by reservation.

The Glenmont Estate is also part of the National Historic Park in West Orange accessible by visiting the factory Lab visitor center

for the schedule and reservation car and ticket passes. It is located inside the private residential Llewellyn Park community. Visit website for more info https://www.nps.gov/edis/ planyourvisit/basicinfo.htm.

Those who are fascinated by this legendary man and his garage can participate in

more and own a home assume they are not eligible for financial aid. However, most families with income over $100,000 are actually eligible for some types of “need based� financial aid. They simply need to know how to get their fair share.

According to Newell, there are several easy things parents can do to substantially increase the amount of money they get from colleges. For example, “There are several schools that historically give better financial aid packages than others,� says Newell. “If families do proper income and asset planning before filling out the forms, they can increase eligibility by thousands of dollars.�

Newell offers a few simple tips to parents with college funding problems. “If a parent has only half an hour to end their college funding problems, I would suggest the following:

1. Make sure they do not over-value their home on the financial aid forms.

2. Try not to save money in the child’s name as it weighs more heavily than the parent’s savings.

3. Don’t be afraid to negotiate with a college for a better financial aid package.

Newell offers New Jersey parents with college funding problems a free booklet that explains the 9 most common college funding problems and solutions. Free copies will be distributed at the seminar listed below.

Mr. Newell will be conducting a free one-hour seminar for parents of college bound high school sophomores, juniors and seniors at the following location: TheWashingon Twp. Public Library, on Wed., May 4 at 7 p.m.

Acupuncture & Chinese Medicine: True Healing!

A

Recognize The Risks To Drinking Water

Western Physician learns that disease must be treated by prescribing drugs or by surgery. Although there is nothing inherently wrong with this approach. But why does ChineseMedicine succeed where conventional Western medicine sometimes fails? What is it about Acupuncture and Chinese Medicine that can result in relief of symptoms, helping couples conceive when they were told there is no hope, or even a cure that is often lacking in conventional Western Medicine?

Although the ultimate result of Chinese Medicine is to cure, not to just treat, the patient, the Practitioner of Chinese medicine attempts to do this by treating the whole person, taking into account the various attributes of an individual that, when combined, account for an individual’s health status. A person, according to the tenets of Chinese Medicine, is more than their condition. To treat just the condition may yield some results, but, however impressive, these results are usually temporary.

People are not, according to Chinese Medicine, represented solely by their illness, but by the culmination of

s environmental issues continue to garner more attention across the globe, certain concerns that represent the public’s collective unease continue to emerge. Contamination of drinking water has long been a hot-button issue, and one that was once again being brought to the forefront in 2015.

In 1993, the town of Hinkley, Calif., became national news when legal clerk Erin Brockovich investigated the apparent cluster of health illnesses in the community. She found there was a link between those illnesses and the local water supply and its high levels of hexavalent chromium — a carcinogen — which had purportedly been leaching into the water from a natural gas transmission compressor station since 1952. Contaminated water from cooling towers was stored between uses in unlined ponds, which allowed it to seep into surrounding groundwater.

Contaminated drinking water is not exclusive to California. Water contamination can occur anywhere in the world.

Recently, the subject has come into the limelight again, this

every human interaction engaged in from the moment of their birth and by the culture they are exposed to. The emotional experiences, eating habits, work habits, work and living environment, personal habits, and social network all contribute to their disease, and are factors that, when changed, may lead to regained health.

The power and effectiveness of Chinese Medicine is evidenced by its very long history of over 3,000 years of continued practice and success. Did you know that more than ¼ of the world’s population uses some form of alternative medicine as their health care treatment? Chinese medicine however, is the only form of alternative medicine that has been regularly and continuously used outside of its country of origin.

The experienced Chinese medical practitioner is trained to observe one’s tone of voice, complexion, eyes, facial expression, overall demeanor, and how one walks, sits and stands, and to use these observations along with a detailed health history to arrive at a diagnosis. Before the patient says one word, the practitioner already has some idea of

time in Flint, Mich. Residents of Flint had been noticing strange health symptoms, including hair loss, rashes, abdominal pains, and even stunted growth. Upon further examination, it was discovered that residents of Flint were slowly being poisoned by lead, which may have been initiated when the city’s water supply was switched from Detroit’s water system over to the Flint River in 2014. The maximum concentration of lead allowed by law is 15 parts per billion (ppb).

Tap water measured from Flint was nearly 400 ppb. According to the World Health Organization, the neurological and behavioral effects of exposure to excessive levels of lead are believed to be irreversible.

Based on the news coming out of Flint, many people have expressed concern about what is hiding in their own water supplies. Nearly 286 million Americans get their tap water from a community water system, says the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, while others rely on well water. The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency says that the United States has one of the safest public drinking water supplies in

who this person is, clinically, simply by observing them.

The key to cure disease is to treat the root of the disease, the anxiety and depression that causes the insomnia, which facilitates exhaustion, which lowers the immune function, which leads to chronic illnesses.

As far as fertility is concerned, one and six couples today are unable to conceive and with all the technology available, many couples are still childless. Many of these women are pumped full of hormones and even steroids, baby aspirin and birth control pills, yes, you read right. Yet, Chinese medicine helps these couples conceive without the use of these harmful drugs. One of our many patients’, that comes to mind, became pregnant after 2 months of treatment, yet was told she would need invitro-fertilization, because although her hormone levels were within the normal range, they were a little high for her age indicating she may have poor egg quality.

So what would you choose drugs and surgery or Acupuncture and Chinese Medicine? the world. Worldwide, things have begun to look up as well.

In 2015, 91 percent of the world’s population had access to improved drinking water, says the WHO. That doesn’t mean individuals shouldn’t remain cautious. Contaminated water can transmit diseases such as diarrhea, cholera, dysentery, typhoid and polio. It also may be hiding potentially cancercausing substances — both natural and manmade.

Those who want to be proactive in protecting their communities from contaminated water can follow these tips.

• Get drinking water tested. Find a reputable local laboratory that specializes in testing drinking water. Start by calling the water authorities where you live or in surrounding towns, which may have a list of local, independents labs. The EPA may be able to help as well. Contact their safe drinking water hotline at 800-426-4791. You also can buy a testing kit from home improvement retailers to conduct routine tests yourself.

• Install a water filter. Water filters may be connected to the main water source in a home or attached to faucets. These devices can help filter out any other impurities that may be affecting the taste or quality of drinking water.

• Watch groundwater contamination. Be cautious about what you release into the soil in and around your home, especially if you rely on well water. County health departments may test for nitrates and bacteria, but you may require more in-depth testing from an outside service if you suspect a problem.

• Get connected with municipal alerts. Water-main breaks and other instances may require the shutting off and flushing of municipal water systems, which may introduce contaminants. Always follow suggested water-boil and cleaning guidelines issued in your area.

By heeding these tips, residents can protect themselves against contaminated drinking water.

Free Three-Part Series Offered On Jewish Mysticism

hat is mysticism? What is Jewish mysticism? How is mysticism different from scientific ways of looking at things? How is it similar to the scientific approach to understanding the world?

In an intriguing three-part series, titled “Jewish Mysticism & Its Surprising Impact on our Beliefs, Behaviors, and Our Prayer Book,” Rabbi Mark Biller, spiritual leader of Congregation Beth Ahm in Verona, will delve into these topics and

T

how Jewish mysticism and Kabbalah show up in in our lives in ways we have never realized. The series is free and open to the public.

The series will be held on Mon., May 9, at noon; Tues., May 17, at 1 p.m.; and Wed., May 25 at 2 p.m. at the Morris County Library in Whippany. The series is under the auspices of National Council of Jewish Women (NCJW), West Morris Section’s Our Jewish World, coordinated by Ellen Nesson and Melanie Levitan, both of Morristown.

US Coast Guard Auxiliary Conducts About Boating Safely Course

he US Coast Guard Auxiliary, Flotilla 15 - 10 on Lake Hopatcong, plans to conduct an “About Boating Safely” on Sat., April 30, from 8 a.m. – 5 p.m . Taught by USCG certified instructors licensed by the State of NJ, the course covers all the subjects to satisfy the requirements for the mandatory NJ Boating Safety Certificate needed by all powerboat operators in NJ. The class is sponsored by the US Coast Guard Auxiliary and will take

place at Hopatcong Senior Center in Hopatcong. The fee for the course is $65.

To register, contact Patrick (Pat) DeDeo @ flotilla1510pe@gmail.com or call at 862-221-0035.

For further information and to learn how to become a part of the US Coast Guard Auxiliary visit the website http://wow.uscgaux.info/content.php?unit= 053-15-10 , or call Ray Atkinson , FC, FSO-HR at 973-398-6554.

The rabbi will examine specific Kabbalistic texts and address how Jewish principles apply to them.

“We will talk about how revolutionary Kabbalah in the Middle Ages was in the eyes of rabbinic Judaism, and where it differed from traditional approaches,” he points out.

“We will go through portions of Kabbalistic texts, relating them back to the Torah and showing how they are connected and how they seem to vary from the Torah.” In addition, he notes, “We will reveal how Kabbalistic influences created parts of the prayer

I

book that we read weekly. Most readers are unaware of the Kabbalistic influence, origin or intent of these now familiar prayers.”

This engaging series will present a new view of Jewish sources and give people lots to think about.

A master storyteller, Biller brings a fresh, bright outlook to Judaism's traditional texts and specializes in counseling Jews of all ritual levels looking to find meaning in both modern life and rich Jewish traditions.

Childhood Insomnia

nsomnia, or trouble falling asleep or staying asleep, is largely thought of as an adult problem. But children can suffer from insomnia as well, and that can prove disruptive for the entire family. Children who do not receive an adequate amount of sleep can feel tired and irritable, and may have difficulty concentrating in school. Many factors can contribute to the onset of childhood insomnia. Kids, just like adults, can suffer from stress, which then manifests itself as worry or an overactive mind at night, says the

Cleveland Clinic. Depression, anxiety, pain, or other medical problems also may be the catalyst for insomnia. While common insomnia medications used in adults are not approved for children, there are steps parents can take. A solid bedtime routine, including consistent bedtimes and wake times, can help combat child insomnia. Try to identify stressors and remedy them as well. In some instances, a pediatrician or therapist may be needed to help a child work through sleep-related issues.

Historical Museum Celebrates National Public Gardens Day

acculloch Hall Historical Museum (MHHM) in Morristown plans to participate in National Public Gardens Day on Fri., May 6, from 2 p.m.-5 p.m.

Now in its seventh year, National Public Gardens Day promotes awareness of more than 500 gardens throughout North America as vibrant educational community resources.

MMHM invites friends and families to enjoy an afternoon in the Museum’s historic gardens, which will literally be buzzing with a delightful range of free children’s activities and presentations. Visitors can meet a beekeeper and watch honeybees at work in their hive; get the dirt on dirt with a soil scientist; create art; explore the garden in a scavenger hunt; and listen to stories under MMHM’s renowned beech tree.

Highlights of the program include presentations at 2 p.m. and 3 p.m. by Debbie Demmer, New Jersey Beekeeper member. Demmer will discuss beekeeping, demonstrate the clothing and tools used by beekeepers, and show an observational hive complete with a queen bee.

Throughout the afternoon, Fred Schoenagel III, a research scientist with the USDA Natural Resources Conservation Service, will lead activities in a soil pit. Participants will learn about the importance of and the nurturing of good soil.

At 4 p.m., Dr. Patricia Pongracz, executive director of MMHM, will lead a garden tour, which will highlight the various uses of the Museum’s historic gardens during the last

200 years.

There is no admission fee for visitors, but pre-registration is required. Contact Cynthia Winslow, museum educator at 973-538-2404, ext. 16 or cwinslow@maccullochhall.org.

The gardens at Macculloch Hall were planted in 1810 by the first residents, George and Louisa Macculloch (17751858, 1785-1863, respectively), and have been in continuous cultivation for more than 200 years. Cultivars in the historic gardens include the wisteria trellised along the rear porch, which was given to the Macculloch family by Commodore Matthew Perry in 1857; the sassafras tree at the far end of the lawn, believed to be the second oldest and largest sassafras tree in New Jersey; and heirloom roses, with cultivars dated before 1920. One rose, known only as the “Old Macculloch Hall Rose,� likely dates to the earliest part of the gardens’ history.

Today, the landscaped grounds are planted for seasonal bloom: daffodils, tulips, and other bulbs welcome spring, followed by the historic wisteria in May, roses in June, dahlias in August, and a selection of perennials throughout the summer and fall. The grounds also feature a large kitchen garden, comprising four beds, which serves as an outdoor classroom.

Planted with herbs and tomatoes, this garden is a fitting tribute to George Macculloch, who is believed to have grown the first tomato recorded in NJ in 1829.

SWAP Meat to Transform Traditional Meals

ow more than ever, food choices matter. People want healthy, environmentally friendly foods without sacrificing flavor. Substituting the traditional protein in your favorite dishes with seafood is one deliciously smart way to satisfy these demands.

Seafood offers numerous health benefits.

In fact, because seafood is high in protein, omega-3 fatty acids and essential vitamins and minerals, but low in saturated fat and calories, several health organizations rec-

ommend two servings per week.

Changing up traditional meals to incorporate the goodness of seafood is easier than you may think. Just pick a non-seafood protein dish that you regularly enjoy and replace the protein with one of Alaskaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s many species of seafood. For example, replace veal in veal parmesan with delicious Alaska cod or the chicken in chicken Marsala with flavorful Alaska salmon.

4 Alaska salmon fillets (4-6 ounces each) salt and pepper, to taste 2 cups flour 1/2 cup olive oil 1 cup Marsala wine 2 cups mushrooms, sliced 2 cups chicken stock 2 teaspoons fresh thyme 2 tablespoons cold butter 4 fresh thyme sprigs, for garnish Season salmon fillets with salt and pepper, to taste.

Cook for 2-4 minutes, turn fillets over and cook until almost done. Remove fillets from pan; hold aside.

Off heat, add wine to pan, scraping bits off the bottom. Return pan to heat and add mushrooms. Season with salt and pepper, to taste, and cook for 1 minute. Add stock and thyme, and let liquid reduce by half.

Return salmon fillets to pan. Cook, while basting fish, until fillets are heated through. Remove fish fillets to 4 serving plates.

Return pan to heat, add cold butter and swirl until incorporated and sauce slightly thickens. Remove from heat and divide sauce evenly over salmon fillets. Garnish each plate with 1 thyme sprig, if desired.

United Way Fundraising Breakfast Features Philanthropic Power Of Women

rea women business and community leaders can network and hear New York Times bestselling author Laura Schroff talk about the philanthropic power of women at a United Way of Northern New Jersey fundraiser on Thurs., April 28, from 7:30 a.m. to 9:45 a.m. at the Hanover Marriott.

The United Way Women’s Leadership Council is holding this premier networking breakfast for influential women in northern NJ to support scholarship opportunities for local individuals and families who are ALICE -Asset Limited, Income Constrained, Employed- living paycheck to paycheck and struggling to afford the basics.

“This is a singular opportunity to meet like-minded women who care about using their influence to change lives and communities for the better,” said council associate director Michele Dreiblatt.

Schroff, author of “An Invisible Thread,” was chosen as the keynote speaker, Dreiblatt said, as an example of the positive impact women can have in their communities. The book, which stayed on the New York Times Best Seller List for 39 weeks, tells the true story of how Schroff helped change the course of a young boy’s life. Schroff, who will sign copies of her book at the breakfast, has won numerous awards and shared her inspiring story alongside Archbishop Desmond Tutu, former First Lady Laura Bush and bestselling

C

author Malcolm Gladwell.

“Laura Schroff is a model for how women can be a philanthropic force in our state,” Dreiblatt said. “When we join together we have the potential to improve life not only for our most vulnerable families, but for all of us.”

Attendees will also learn about the Council, a 130-member strong United Way philanthropic women’s group. Throughout the year, members are engaged in volunteer, fundraising and advocacy efforts to help the region’s ALICE population attain financial stability.

Across the northern New Jersey region, spanning Morris, Somerset, Suburban Essex, Sussex and Warren counties, a total of 27 percent of households qualify as ALICE or in poverty, according to United Way research.

Proceeds from the breakfast will go toward three United Way scholarship programs that seek to remove the barriers that keep ALICE and those in poverty from achieving their potential. Through these scholarships, child care educators can access professional development opportunities, families can afford quality child care, and adults can pursue post-secondary education.

Tickets for the event are $70. For more information about the event or the Council, visit www.UnitedWayNNJ.org/WLCBreakfast2016, email Michele.Dreiblatt@UnitedWayNNJ.org or call 973-993-1160, x128.
