Pinwheels Spin In Roxbury To Mark April As Prevent Child Abuse Month

By Dawn M Chiossi here’s something sweet and merry about a pinwheel. They just make people happy. But now these pinwheels hold another purpose: To raise awareness to the issue of child abuse. Recently Roxbury declared the month of April as Prevent Child Abuse Month. In a brief five minute reading, Roxbury’s Mayor Mark Crowley, signed the proclamation himself at its March Council Meeting. In addition to the proclamation, Roxbury additionally held a more tangible way of raising awareness to the problem of child abuse: Pinwheels. People from all over might have noticed the lovely garden of them located at the corner of Route 10 West and Eyland Ave. in Succasunna. The pinwheel garden was the inspiration, efforts, and caring from the 37 members of the Roxbury Women’s Club. The display is dedication to happy and safe childhoods, all in hopes of preventing its insidious horrors and lasting aftermath. According to Crawley, the Roxbury Women’s Club has been doing the pinwheel garden ever since he has been in office, approximately seven years. Why pinwheels? According to Roxbury Women’s Club Member, Marcellene Thomson, “the display is part of a project

sponsored by the New Jersey State Federation of Women’s Clubs. The Pinwheel is a reminder of the importance of protecting all children—keeping them safe and away from violence.” The pinwheel is a symbol of everything a childhood should be- happy and fun. People respond positively to the pinwheel. This activity is utilized in conjunction with the national Pinwheels for Prevention /Prevent Child Abuse America Campaign. Founded in 2008, Pinwheels for Prevention puts a new spin on preventing child abuse. The campaign utilizes community activities and public policies to prioritize prevention right from the start, making sure child abuse and neglect never occur. The Pinwheels for Prevention is a nationwide campaign that takes place in all 50 states. Both the campaign and the Roxbury Women’s Club encourage everyone to take a proactive role engaging in events and activities that strengthen families and communities. They encourage folks of all ages to provide the environment for all children to grow, flourish and thrive. Crawley can’t say enough about this event, and the extremely hard working women behind the Women’s Club. “They did a great job,” he enthuses. When asked what she would like to

see regarding this initiative, Thompson remarks, “to bring awareness of critical issues and for others to be aware of the need to keep all children safe.” Crawley credits April being declared Child Abuse Prevention Month and the Pinwheels around town as “one part of a much larger picture,” in which the town seeks to raise awareness of this very real, disturbing issue. Realizing that child abuse and preventing it, is a multi-layered issue, Crawley praises the whole town of Roxbury for their wonderful community spirit in helping bring awareness to the problem of child abuse: From the schools to the police, to everyone in between. “With everyone working together, everyone works together well,” he says. A pinwheel garden may be a small thing, but the message behind it is anything but small, it really sparks an impact. Do what one can to make a difference in the lives of children. Simple every day actions really do make an impact. It could be volunteering, babysitting, anything to promote great childhoods. “This is a great, amazing event,” Crowley comments. “If it raises awareness and helps in the problem of child abuse, then that’s very important. No child should ever be abused.”

It’s about having fun, laughing and enjoying time together. And Roxbury Library’s Mini Golf Fundraiser was extremely popular.

By Dawn M Chiossi he first annual miniature golf fundraiser held at the Roxbury Public Library on Saturday, April 12, attracted a decent crowd with hopes of channeling their inner Tiger Woods. Held from noon to 5 p.m., this fundraiser raised approximately $6,000.

The proceeds are slated to purchase new audio visual equipment to benefit computer classes at the library. Many organizations and volunteers joined in to make this event a great success! As many people can attest, mini golf is a fantastic activity that families can do together, something often done on week-

library. The course was even complete with windmills and houses! In addition to the course itself, the library offered other activities such as food, activities, and multiple crafts stations for folks to enjoy. One was offered by Morris County Educare that continued on page 3

Fundraiser... continued from page 2 helped kids make adorable golf visors. For those who signed up in advance, a raffle was held. Items raffled off included gift certificates, rocking chairs, and much more. The library was so excited regarding this event; they even set up tee times in advance to ensure that no one had to wait too long in line, if at all. According to Library Director since 2017, Radwa Ali, “The staff was super excited and curious right from the start. And the public was absolutely wonderful! Everyone was so enthusiastic, overwhelmingly positive about the setup and organization. “It was really fun to see people’s amazement that you could play golf in the library,” she continues. “I personally always get a kick out of surprising people with what you can do at the library; it’s not just for hushed

mus-

itaces, for ed hat e3

activities anymore.” Ali says, “I really wanted to do an event fundraiser versus just asking people to donate. Events are more work but definitely more fun. It’s always better to give something back in exchange for a donation.” Elated with the proceeds, Ali shares, “The proceeds will go towards some badly needed A/V equipment. We were initially only looking to get a TV that would enable us to conduct mobile computer classes/ seminars. But now that we’ve exceeded the proceeds we’ll be able to upgrade our projector and get a proper podium with a sound system for our program room. This will make library programming so much easier and better.” Exceeding all expectations, organizers at the library are already planning another miniature golf event for next year. “The first of many!” Ali enthuses.

Memorial Day Weekend: Kick-off To Helping Homeless Vets

At Rock Spring Park in Long Valley , people can view the “tiny house,” transitional housing for a homeless vet that is a project of Operation Chillout.

by Elsie Walker n May 26, at Rock Spring Park in Long Valley, people will get to see a 27 foot long, “tiny house” on a trailer. It is similar to a high end RV and is equipped for one occupant. While people might not think there is anything unique about such a home, its purpose is very special. It will act as transitional housing for a homeless veteran. This is just one of the

projects of Operation Chillout, which helps homeless veterans in New Jersey, Pennsylvania, and Rhode Island. Memorial Day weekend is also the kickoff of Operation Chillout’s drive for summer items, like water, which can be life-saving to the homeless living on the streets. Ray Chimileski is executive director/founder of Operation Chillout, which is headquartered in Long Valley. He explained that the tiny house

people will see at Rock Spring Park will be put on farm property. There, a homeless veteran will be able to live for up to 24 months, paying rent. During that time, the veteran will get on his or her feet by getting a job or finishing school. He or she will still have social services support. A long term plan for Operation Chillout is to identify property where housing units

for homeless veterans could be built. “Most of the [homeless] veterans are from recent military action,” explained Chimileski. He noted that it used to be Viet Nam era veterans, but with those aging and dying, a new group has taken its place. From Memorial Day Weekend to August 1, Operation continued on page 5

Helping Homeless Vets... continued from page 4 Chillout will be collecting t-shirts, caps, gift cards, 24 bottle cases of water and donations to help homeless veterans survive on the streets this summer. Goods are taken to agencies, soup kitchen, the VA center, VA hospital, and will also be given directly to homeless veterans who live in places like parks and under bridges.

While giving out supplies, Operation Chillout members talk to the veterans about the services available to them as veterans. “Literally, it is about saving lives“ said Chimileski about the water that is distributed. Clean water is key to survival on the streets. Chimileski shared the homeless people can die due to dehydration or from drink-

ing contaminated water supplies. Groups or individuals can contribute to Operation Chillout’s efforts. Getting a jump on the summer drive needs was Port Morris United Methodist Church in Landing which has held a drive to get the items needed to help homeless veterans to survive the summer. “Reaching out to a homeless veteran, handing a bottle of water with a T-Shirt or Baseball-cap is the least we can do for these precious people, who fought for our freedom,” said Rev. Dr. Nick Petrov, pastor of the church. “At Port Morris UMC, we understand that ‘Thank you’ just isn’t enough. We need to show respect and appreciation, not

only in words, but in deeds as well. For Port Morris UMC, it is very important to honor the service and sacrifice of our armed forces. We have a long tradition of honoring our veterans through prayer and recognition. We deeply cherish that our brave men and brave women in the armed forces understand that freedom has a cost.” Looking ahead, Operation Chillout will be doing a fundraiser on August 11 from 10 a.m.-8 p.m. at Vasa Park in Budd Lake. A free will offering will be taken. The event will include music, food, vendors and fun for all ages.

Dentist Discusses Best Options For Missing Teeth

entures are an affordable solution for missing teeth. However, they have their problems. They move around in the mouth, can be uncomfortable, cause sores, require adhesives and become embarrassing if they fall out in public. Worse than that, they can cause bone loss putting the jaw at risk as a person ages. Some people don’t wear dentures, but have similar problems such as constant pain, gum disease, an endless cycle of cavities, root canals, crowns and extractions. As teeth are lost, other teeth shift, creating issues with chewing and smiling. Self-esteem decreases, as well as overall health. Thankfully, dental implants can provide a solution. Improvements with comfort, stability, chewing, self-esteem and overall health are all reported by people soon after implant treatment is completed. Treatment options regarding implants can vary greatly. Two to six implants can be placed to

stabilize a denture, individual implants can be placed to replace missing teeth, or four to six implants can be utilized to provide permanent teeth. This last option is called All-On-Four. In the All-On-Four option, any remaining teeth are removed, four to six implants are placed, and teeth are attached to the implants. These three steps are typically performed in one appointment, so the patient is able to leave the dental office with teeth the same day. It should be noted that these are temporary teeth; the final teeth will be fabricated approximately four to six months later. All-On-Four has revolutionized implant dentistry. Although more expensive than dentures, it is less expensive than traditional full-mouth implant reconstruction. Costly and time-consuming grafting can oftentimes be avoided, too. Furthermore, pain levels are significantly decreased. People sometimes think they are not implant candidates

because of their age. This is a misconception. In fact, as a person ages, it becomes more important to be able to eat so that proper nutritional needs are met. Dentures do not provide proper biting force to chew food, plus they weaken the jaw. Implants improve chewing ability, and strengthen the jaw as compared to dentures. A person’s health is a key factor when considering implants, not age. Who should perform dental implant procedures? Only well-qualified dentists who have had extensive training in implant dentistry. Patients are sometimes informed they need to see an implant specialist to have their implant care performed. There is no such thing as an implant specialist; implants are not a specialty. Typically, they are placed by general dentists, oral surgeons, periodontists, and prosthodontists. It’s not so important as to what type of dentist places them, but rather how much training and experience they

have. Also, don’t forget that there is a second part to the implant once it is placed; one or more teeth have to be placed on top of the implant. If an implant is placed while ignoring this second part of the treatment, disastrous results may follow. Dr. Ira Goldberg has been performing implant procedures for 22 years. He is a Diplomate of the American Board of Oral Implantology / Implant Dentistry, a Diplomate of the International Congress of Oral Implantologists, and a Fellow of the American Academy of Implant Dentistry. He performs all phases of implant dentistry at his oﬃce in Succasunna; he lectures to dentists in the ﬁeld of implantology. For a free consultation, including a free 3-D scan (if necessary), call 973- 3281225 or visit www.MorrisCountyDentist.com. Goldberg is a general dentist, and also a Fellow of the Academy of General Dentistry.

Motorcycle Ride To Cruise Through Jersey Towns To Fight Bullying

By Cheryl Conway undreds of motorcycles plan to hit the streets on Saturday, June 2, throughout Morris County. Far from its stereotype of being a tough motorcycle gang, the group will represent the complete opposite as their mission will be to Blue Out Bullying. The initiative, The Ride for Mallory’s Army, is a charity ride to raise awareness and funds to fight against bullying. Organized to be held almost one year after the death of 12-year old Mallory Rose Grossman of Rockaway, the ride will generate proceeds to support the Mallory’s Army Foundation. The organization was founded by the Grossman family after the sixth grader committed suicide on June 14, 2017 because of “horrific bullying,” as it states on the foundation website. The ride is being organized by Garden State Harley Davidson in Morris Plains. Registration is planned for 9 a.m. at the dealership and the ride is set to begin 11 a.m. Participants will begin the 50-mile

motorcycle drive from the dealership and cruise throughout Morris County in towns such as Rockaway, Butler and Denville. While the dealership competes in charity rides every year, the idea for The Ride For Mallory’s Army came out of a request. “Mallory’s babysitter is a customer of ours and she came in and asked us to host a ride,” says Randi Kolano, marketing manager for Garden State Harley Davidson. This was back in January. Supporting the cause is an opportunity too important to pass up. “We always go over and above especially with children and helping out the community,” says Kolano. “We want to teach everyone to be kind. It’s going to be something special to witness something so large riding through. I encourage people to come out and support the riders cause you don’t always see hundreds of riders passing through every day.” Cost to participate in the ride is $20 for motorcyclists; $15 for passengers. To attend the barbecue following the ride, $10 donations are being requested. Par-

Fido, Fifi And Friends Are Ready To Bark And Roll Outdoors!

By Ricki Demarest ith the frustratingly elusive warmer weather here at last, it’s time to safely plan outdoor activities. Like everyone else, dog owners and their best friends have been waiting, patiently or not, for winter to release its grip on the Garden State. There are thousands of dogs living happily in New Jersey. Most are welcome at municipal, county, public or private dog parks as well as restaurants and town streets. However, for dogs and their loving human companions, a little prior planning is a must to ensure a quality excursion - for the dog, the owner and everyone they encounter along the way. Parks provide a great place to take dogs for a walk, a run or even agility training. Ca-

nines are usually welcome in open spaces if they follow the rules and regulations. Most places post their rules online and at the locations themselves. Municipal ordinances and state rules always apply. Some of the most common park rules are as follows. Owners are always held liable for their dogs’ behavior and use parks at their own risk. All dogs in the park must be licensed and vaccinated. There is often a limit of two dogs per person. The handler is supposed to have constant control of their animal(s). Sick dogs are expressly exempt from parks. Dogs in heat are not allowed either. There are usually age restrictions, both for dogs and children. Digging is prohibited. Owners or handler are to fill any holes left by their dog. Waste must be removed and disposed of

properly. Spiked, pronged or choke collars are generally not allowed. The most important rule for dog owners is being aware of how their dog will react to others outside their own territory. “Like people, if you put ev-

eryone in a room, not everybody’s gonna get along with everybody,” said Evan Perlman of ESP Pet Specialists pet sitting services in Livingston. “A dog park is NOT the place to begin socializing a dog.” Before taking a new puppy continued on page 16

Buy-A-Brick, Clean Communities Program In Roxbury

ommunity events on tap in Roxbury include a Buy-A-Brick Campaign to Help Improve Main Street and a Clean Communities Spring Litter Cleanup. Roxbury Township’s Main Street Committee is seeking support their fundraising efforts to continue the beautification of Main Street in Succasunna. Memorial/

honorary engraved bricks are still available for sale. The bricks are installed in the courtyard surrounding the Victorian clock by the gazebo at the library. Bricks can be used to remember a loved one, honor a family’s name or salute a graduate. For order form, contact Michele O’Halloran at (973) 448-2002 or ohallo-

ranm@roxburynj.us. The Clean Communities program is looking for individuals, groups and organizations to help with litter clean up throughout town this spring. Contact keyesk@ roxburynj.us or go to www.roxburynj.us/ cleancommunities for more information.

she can acclimate to the surroundings. Leash requirements aside, Owen said a dog should always wear a ‘light line’ such as 20 feet of venetian blind chord so anyone can step on it to help catch them. “It can be really frustrating when you want to leave, and Sparky says ‘no,’” she noted. Behavior can always become an issue. If a dog is getting too rambunctious, it is time to “put him on a leash and give him a ‘doggy time out.’” Sometimes, the footing at a park can create unexpected problems. An excited dog will run on a paved surface until its feet are bleeding. Other things to be aware of include soil borne illnesses like parasites, and airborne viruses like kennel cough. Taking a personal water source can help keep a dog healthy and happy. Another northern N.J. trainer, Margaret MacEwan, noted that a pet’s experience can depend on the group dynamic in the park. “You’re at the mercy of other dog owners; there’s no referee,” she said. “This isn’t a substitute for training your dog or doing activities with your dog.”

Another option for a dog to get out and socialize, she said, is dog day care. There, staff members recognize and monitor each animals behavior while offering a safe space for play and friendship. Many people venture beyond the park with their canine companions, choosing to take their four-legged friends out to dinner, on canoe or kayak trips, or shopping. The website www.funnewjersey. com/upload_user/different_outdoor_adventures_nj/dog_parks_nj.htm has plenty of options for dog excursions. BringFido.com also offers a wide variety of choices for dog owners that include hotels, restaurants, activities and excursions that please people and their pooches. Typing in the name of a town and clicking the fetch button reveals an array of places with ratings on a scale one to five bones. All creatures great and small enjoy fresh air, warm breezes and sunshine. With a little planning, some fresh water and a good leash, dogs and their owners can make the most of their days all spring and summer long.

or adopted best friend out to a dog park, Perlman recommended spending one on one time with another dog who will be receptive to such companionship. Jean Owen, owner of NJ Fix My Dog training in the Morristown area, is a dog park veteran, having helped create them in Morris County and in New York City. She was happy to share a few pearls of wisdom gleaned from her experience. First and foremost, she said, make sure the dog likes to be around other dogs. Never bring food to a dog park – either treats for the dog, or food for oneself. In fact, many parks do not allow food in the dog area. Please, please don’t bring a sick dog to a dog park! Owen recommended owners wait two weeks to make sure a dog isn’t carrying a virus. Remember, not all dogs like children. Most parks have age requirements for children and they vary from place to place. Know before the visit. Separate areas for large and small dogs are always a good idea, according to Owen. She also recommended taking a four-legged friend to a park a few times when they aren’t busy. That way, he or

New Field Trip On Water Brings Hands-On Experience To Learn And Protect The Lake

By Cheryl Conway tudy Hull was set to sail on its maiden voyage Monday, May 21, on the waters of Lake Hopatcong. With room for 40 passengers plus crew, fourth graders from Kennedy and Nixon elementary schools in Roxbury were expected to be the first to participate in the floating classroom. Students from Franklin and Jefferson schools in the Roxbury School District have booked their trips for Monday, June 4. The 40-foot by 12-foot covered catamaran pontoon boat was named and christened Friday evening, May 4, at the Garden State Yacht Club in Lake Hopatcong with more than 75 in attendance. There was “a lot of excitement in the air,” says Donna Macalle-Holly, Lake Hopatcong

Foundation grant and program coordinator. “After cracking the champagne bottle on the vessel, people got to board and see.” Macalle-Holly explained, “The vessel name selected by the LHF Board of Trustees was submitted by Kimberly Murphy during our Giving Tuesday campaign last December in support of the floating classroom. If you made a $25 donation you can come up with a name. Quite a few names were given.” The board decided on Study Hull: “Thought it was a good play on words,” says Macalle-Holly. “It fit the vessel good and what we want to try to do on the vessel. “I proudly christen this vessel Study Hull,” Macalle-Holly said at the christening. “May all who journey on Study Hull be safe and learn all

about protecting Lake Hopatcong today and for future generations.” The vessel was built by Sightseer Marine based in Hudson, Fla., and is a project of The Lake Hopatcong Foundation. “We are so excited to bring the floating classroom experience to Lake Hopatcong for students and the public,” said Macalle-Holly. “It will provide an interactive, hands-on educational experience to study the lake ecology, to understand why improving water quality is so important and to learn what can be done to protect the lake.” The purchase of the floating classroom was made possible from the Gannett Foundation- “USA Today” network’s “A Community Thrives” program; the James P. Verhalen Family Foundation and the Szigethy family, according to a press release. Macalle-Holly said she received the news about winning the Gannett Foundation $50,000 grant last spring which allowed the foundation to move forward with the vessel’s acquisition. Total cost for the vessel totaled $148K, she says. The LHF found inspiration for the floating classroom from other on-the-water educational programs such as its visits to the Lake George Association Floating Classroom in New York, the Hackensack Riverkeeper Eco-Cruise and the SPLASH Steamboat Float-

ing Classroom on the Delaware River. Currently, 800 fourth and fifth graders are scheduled to participate in the foundation’s educational field trip program. Seven trips are so far planned with students from Hopatcong, Jefferson and Mt. Arlington school districts, says Macalle-Holly. There is limited availability this May through June for additional schools to participate in this fee-based field trip which includes the floating classroom, macro-invertebrate sampling in the Musconetcong River, a discovery hike and a watershed model to demonstrate water pollution concepts and their prevention. In July, fourth and fifth grade teachers interested in a future voyage for their students can board the Study Hull the second week in July to see what is entailed. Field trips will begin at 9:30 a.m. and end around 1:30 p.m., says Macalle-Holly. Students will arrive at Hopatcong State Park for their four hour lesson. For the floating classroom portion, students will learn how to protect the lake through scientific experiments on water quality. The hike on the Musconetcong will involve students collecting macro invertebrates to identify and determine health of river, she explains. At the water pavilion, stucontinued on page 18

New Field Trip On Water... continued from page 17 dents will learn about the watershed model and how to protect non-point source pollution, she adds. For the discovery hike, participants will learn the importance of how the forest and landscape protect the lake, she says. This is the fourth year the LHF has hosted field trips to study the lake. “When we used to do the field trip, we went out on smaller pontoon boats,” she says, three boats. But now with the one larger pontoon, all could board, with crew that includes a captain, first mate and one or two environmental educators, as well as scientific experiments. She says LHF is “expanding it by adding hands on experiments.” Comparing this field trip to other lessons on the water, Ma-

calle-Holly says “ours is unique as we are incorporating scientific experiences on board.” The trip is free to those students in the LHF area which includes Roxbury, Jefferson, Hopatcong and Mt. Arlington. Students outside those towns will be charged $15 per student to attend the field trip, she says. Funds will used to support operating expenses of the floating classroom. For more information on the field trips program for fourth and fifth graders, contact the foundation at 973-663-2500. The floating classroom will also be open to the public in July and August operating on a limited schedule from Hopatcong State Park for 90 minute voyages. More details on the public schedule and cost will be announced by the foundation in the coming weeks. To learn more, visit www. lakehopatcongfoundation.org.

Great Conversations Support Morris Arts

By Stefanie Sears his year’s 10th annual Great Conversations event, which took place on April 26 at the Madison Hotel in Morristown, honored Great Conversations founder Joen Ferrari, who heard about Great Conversations in Atlanta and decided to bring it to Morris Arts. About 300 people were in attendance. Great Conversations is a fundraiser in which proceeds go to Morris Arts, a not-for-profit organization founded in 1973 dedicated to supporting artists, arts programs, and arts advocacy in the Morris County community to inspire, connect and engage. During Great Conversations, attendees are given the opportunity to chew the fat with experts in various industries at a preceding reception and then join their selected conversationalists for dinner at their individual tables to continue more indepth discussions. Seats went for $250 each and patrons were encouraged to register early online at morrisarts.org, as this gathering quickly sells out, and asked to pick their top five host conversationalists in order to get assigned to a specific host of their choice. According to a press release,

“This is an evening to exchange ideas and savor the pleasures of live encounters. You may be surprised by what you discover.” Through these exchanges attendees were able to learn about their conversationalists’ career achievements and backgrounds, insight into the world and their particular fields, how such impacted their lives and how they got to where they are today, as well as any lessons they can impart. “We look for a wide variety of outstanding people who are at the top of their game and have an interesting story to tell,” says Morris Arts Director of Development Gina Moran. “We get top-notch business leaders in major industries, sports figures, entertainment figures in music and performance and the arts, scientists, authors and reporters. We look for people that you can’t ordinarily have a dinner conversations with – people that are somewhat unattainable. That’s the draw. And we’re recruiting year round by going to interesting events with outstanding people.” Present at this year’s Great Conversations were about 30 diverse host conversationalists in arts, music, and media; business; entrepreneurship and technology; healthcare and pharmacy; law; military service;

and engaging with their guests. There was great electricity and excitement at the event and everyone seemed really jazzed.” Morris Arts’ next affairs are “Meet Me in Morristown,” in conjunction with Morristown Partnership, and the 35th annual Giralda Music & Arts Festival. continued on page 23

Roxbury’s Ramage Signs To Play Rugby At South Carolina

oxbury senior Alison “Alie” Ramage recently signed her letter of intent to play Rugby at the University of South Carolina in the fall as her parents, David and Diane, look on. Ramage, who’s been interested in studying International Business for several years, decided on the University of South Carolina that has the number one IB program in the country. When not studying, Ramage will be tearing it up on the rugby field. Although Roxbury doesn’t have a Rugby program, Ramage

She started playing at the end of her eighth-grade year with the Morris U18 girls team after many years of playing soccer and running track in Roxbury. “Rugby has provided me amazing opportunities that I truly don’t think I would have had in any other sport,” said Rugby.. Along with being a member of Morris, I’ve played for several select-side teams at a regional, national, and international level. I’ve competed in Arts Festival, a family friendly lawn concert featuring the New Jersey Symphony Orchestra, an art show, and children’s arts activities, will take place on June 24.

“Alie Ramage is an incredibly talented and skillful rugby player,’’ Woods said. “Through her high-level playing experience and numerous years of development as a rugby player, she will bring a lot of knowledge and experience to the team. I am excited for the opportunity to have her as a part of The University of South Carolina Women’s Rugby Club and I look forward to coaching her in the fall.”

Morris County Provides Hope To Residents With Broad Range Of Outreach Services

By Cheryl Conway here there is a will, there is a way, the familiar saying goes, and with hope, anything is possible. Especially with two vehicles making appearances throughout Morris County bringing services to the people, from treating individuals with drug addiction to providing outreach in a wide range of areas such as homelessness, unemployment, aging, child care and veterans’ services. Hope One vehicle has been in motion for the past year; joining the tandem this fall will be a second vehicle, Navigating Hope. “The impact of the Morris County Sheriff’s Hope One program on the addiction and mental health communities of Morris County has been tremendous!” says Jennifer Carpinteri, director of Human Services for Morris County since Oct. 2014. “It is now time to offer a broader range of services to expand upon those currently offered by Hope One, the county’s Department of Human Services and the Morris County Community Provider Network. While the specific details of the Navigating Hope vehicle are still being finalized, Carpinteri says “the outreach vehicle will provide a comfortable, confidential way to deliver services and connect with individuals who have had difficulty navigating and accessing services through the traditional means of provision. Use of mobile technology will be an important component to this work, as it provides for the greatest access to resources. “All human service related resources will be made available to provide on-site services as scheduled or requested by a municipality, business, school or provider,” she adds. “Navigating Hope, the mo-

bile community assistance access center, will travel to different locations throughout Morris County, bringing services out into communities to help residents identify their short-term needs and provide additional case management supports necessary to navigate the complex systems of care to achieve long-term sustained well-being,” she explains. Areas that will be addressed include: homeless service & affordable housing; employment services; emergency shelter; aging service; veterans services; Medicaid; food stamps; child support; transportation; and linkages to The Family Justice Center/Domestic Violence Needs, educational services, literacy/ESL classes, health screenings, HIV/AIDS services, legal services, faith based supports and numerous other critical resources identified on an individualized basis. Cost of the new vehicle is about $100K. The Morris County Board of Chosen Freeholders has approved funding to support the Navigating Hope Initiative within the 2018 Operating Budget. The Hope One vehicle is funded and maintained by the Morris County Sheriff’s Office, she adds. “While these are two separately funded vehicles, they represent the strong partnership between the county Department of Human Services and the sheriff’s office in reaching our most vulnerable residents by breaking down barriers and bringing hope into each municipality,” she says. Professionals will be on site in each vehicle and visit. “The Navigating Hope vehicle will be staffed by a specialized Human Service team of professionals,” she says. “The positions that will comprise the team, through on-site and via skype capabilities are: Mor-

ris Care Navigator; OTA Generic Interviewer; OTA Social Worker; veterans’ staff; aging staff; and child support. In addition, “Development of a volunteer component will be a goal during the first year of operation,” she adds. Navigating Hope is targeted “to serve thousands of residents per year. The expanded array of services offered will ultimately draw additional people and reach the most vulner-

able, hard to serve residents.” The county has always offered these services, but some residents either do not know they exist or choose not to utilize them. “These are not new services, rather a new way of delivering them,” says Carpinteri. “We expect to reach people who are hesitant to reach out to the county for help.” The county is hoping to continued on page 25

tential to serve thousands of residents per year,” and if it follows in Hope One’s path, progress is likely. “The success of the sheriff’s one-of-a-kind idea that came to life just a year ago is now looked as a statewide model!” she says about Hope One’s first year. “With the growing addiction epidemic nationwide, and especially here in Morris County, partnerships and collaborations are now the future of combatting addiction and saving lives. The opportunity for our Department of Human Services to work in concert with law enforcement is a welcome paradigm shift on both sides. I am humbled to be a small part of the program!” She has high hopes for Navigating Hope as well. “I am thrilled to have the opportunity to better connect and serve Morris County residents,” she says. “Many of whom are our most vulnerable and hard to serve! Like Hope One, Navigating Hope also will be a mobile community assistance outreach program. It is my sincere belief that soon, both Hope One and Navigating Hope will be symbols of recovery, inclusion and a pathway to a better tomorrow!’ To know in advance when

these vehicles will be visiting the area, a schedule will be provided on websites and publications. In its first year of service, Morris County Sheriff James M. Gannon’s Hope One program travels twice a week to locations throughout Morris County, bringing services to persons in need. A sheriff’s officer, licensed clinician, and a certified peer recovery specialist staff the vehicle with a goal to prevent drug overdoses and deaths by reaching out to those in need. Since its inception, Hope One had nearly 3,000 residents in need visit the mobile unit and nearly 850 county residents received life-saving Narcan training to be employed in emergencies. Stops have included supermarket shopping centers, libraries, churches and malls. Hope One is able to provide clients immediate access to services and treatment facilities, putting them on the road to recovery and wellness; Narcan training and kits are provided to family members and friends of individuals with opiate addiction.

Roxbury Track Stars Heading To Bucknell, West Point

wo Roxbury High School senior track and field athletes, Karly Forker and Kevin Sembrat, recently signed

national letters of intent to continue their running careers at institutions of higher learning.

Tales Of Communist Cuba Shared In Roxbury

ighth graders at Eisenhower Middle School recently heard first-hand stories from Alex Del Rosario, one of their peer’s father’s, on growing up in communist Cuba. Del Rosario shared how growing up during that time influenced his appreciation for what he has today. He spoke to the students at EMS, Roxbury, on March 16, sharing a connection between his childhood and the events and characters in George Orwell’s classic story, “Animal Farm,” which students are currently reading. “Animal Farm” is a satirical tale based on the Russian Revolution. The allegory, set in England, has the characters portrayed by animals mirroring the communist leaders and the events reflecting the communist society of Russia. “America is the best country in the world,” Del Rosario said as he began his talk, and again repeated his message before he finished. He spoke to the students and shared notes on a PowerPoint, noting that the seven pictures that he displayed were the only pictures he has of his family because

Alex Del Rosario and his son Alex.

when he left Cuba with his father, he could not take things with him. The rest of the pictures he used he got from Google, he said. After leaving Cuba with his father, his travels took him Panama, where he worked on the canal for a year and a half before moving to America. It was not for a few years later that his mother and brother were able to join him. He recounted family stories of how his father was jailed for five years for trying to keep the family farm from the government and not giving them the family business.

Forker will continue running for Bucknell University this fall and Sembrat will be competing for the U.S. Military Academy at West Point. Both athletes have seen successful at Roxbury, and their coaches, Laura Schmidt and Derek Bischoff, said they have no doubt about their success moving forward. “It is another exciting day for our program,’’ said Bischoff. “We have the opportunity to acknowledge the accomplishments of two of our athletes and celebrate the exciting opportunity they have to continue their academic and athletic careers at such great institutions. Karly and Kevin have given our program a lot to be proud of over the last few seasons.” With their outdoor seasons just beginning, Forker has already set six school records in both relay and individual events. As a member of the sprint medley relay and 4x400 meter relay teams, she helped set the fastest time run by any school in Morris County history. She has won multiple Morris County and state sectional championships as a member of those relay teams. During the indoor season, Forker anchored the sprint medley relay team that won the Group 3 state championship. She added a Group 3 state championship in the 800 meters and a Morris County championship in the 600 meters. She finished third at the New Jersey Meet of Champions while running a top 40 time in the United States. Forker has competed individually and as a relay team member at the Indoor and Outdoor National Championships, where her relay team placed ninth in the country. Sembrat holds almost every school record in the events he participated in. He holds school records in the 200-meter (indoor and outdoor), 300-meter (indoor), and 400-meter

(indoor and outdoor) dashes. This includes running the fastest 400-meter time in Morris County history this past indoor season. He repeated as the state sectional champion in the 400 meters and the Morris County champion in the 300 meters this season. He did so while running the second fastest 400-meter and third fastest 300-meter times in New Jersey. Those times were both good enough for top 40 times in the United States as well. Over his career, Sembrat has won four Morris County championships, six state sectional championships and qualified to run the 200-meter and the 400-meter dashes at the Indoor and Outdoor National Championships and 4x400 meter relay. “To see what Karly and Kevin have accomplished over their careers and think it came naturally would be short-sighted and it would diminish how hard they have worked to earn each of these accomplishments,’’ said Bischoff. “They are special kids and they are great leaders for our program.” “ As my parents, coaches, and anyone who knows me personally can attest to, becoming a cadet at West Point has been a dream of mine long before I came to Roxbury as a freshman,’’ Sembrat said. “While acceptance to the academy was a goal I held above any other, including those on the track, my passion for running has definitely helped shape me into the man I am today. “ Forker said “I cannot express how much this journey has impacted me. The difficulties and hard times I have faced on the track will certainly prepare me for my college career, but overcoming those difficulties with the help of my coaches and teammates is what will help me through life in general.”
