Laurelwood Arboretum Continues Its Oasis Into Nature, Environment And Education

By Stephanie Sears f looking for an educational nature hike in the Wayne area, perhaps six miles worth of walking paths, why not choose Laurelwood Arboretum to suit those needs? Pines Lake residents John and Dorothy Knippenberg purchased the 30-acres back in the 1940s and 1950s and lived across the street. Originally called Laurelwood Gardens, the Knippenbergs raised it as an active commercial nursery specializing in azaleas and rhododendrons and became known for their expertise in hybridizing. In the 1960s, they began donating the lot to Wayne Township in hopes for it to become a public park upon their passing and in the 1980s it began transforming into an arboretum. In 2006, it joined the Wayne Department of Parks and Recreation. “They grew and propagated the rhododendrons themselves,” says Alice Moskowitz, president of the Friends of Laurelwood Arboretum (FOLA), a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization since 2003 that maintains the arboretum. “They became known throughout the horticultural community for their work with rhododendrons.” Dorothy, who worked every day at the arboretum until her passing at age 94, was concerned that the town would not have enough resources to run the arboretum once she died. She got a bunch of people from the neighborhood together to create FOLA. FOLA and the Township of Wayne formed an official partnership after Dorothy’s death in 2006. Wayne Township Mayor Christopher P. Vergano is a huge supporter of the arboretum. The goal of FOLA is “to preserve Laurelwood Arboretum as an oasis for the enjoyment of nature and to provide opportunities for environmental awareness through educational programs, community involvement and outreach activities.” Moskowitz says, “Gardeners are fun people to work with. I’ve personally made a lot of friends, new friends, people I didn’t know before, a group of people. It’s brought me in contact with a lot of new people who have a variety of interests so what I have gotten out of it is a lot of great friendships and, I’m a master gardener, so I learned a lot in the master gardener course. But it really is the many friendships I have made and, especially as president, learning how to allocate our resources, our people resources, to encourage people to volunteer and to make sure we make the best use of their talents and interests. That’s really what I like doing.” Laurelwood Arboretum relies heavily on volunteers and there are plenty of volunteer opportunities. Right now FOLA has more than 200 volunteers who specialize in different areas. For one example, volunteers are welcome to work onsite on Tuesdays and

Fridays from 9 a.m. to noon. Members of the FOLA staff are Executive Director Elaine Fogerty, Horticultural Manager Joan Scott-Miller, and two seasonal gardeners. Laurelwood Arboretum has about 15,000 visitors a year and FOLA about 410 members. A membership with Laurelwood Arboretum has its benefits, such as free admission or discounts for most of its programs. Events at the arboretum have included the annual plant sale the Saturday before Mother’s Day, a jazz concert and an art gala. Events usually receive

50-75 people in attendance. There are also children’s educational programs. Additionally, the arboretum is also a nice option for weddings. Another popular highlight is its Sensory Garden. One interesting upcoming event called “What’s in Your Attic?” will take place on Oct. 22. It will involve an antiques lecture and appraisal by Principal Appraiser Carolyn Remmey.

Wayne School District Looks Ahead To Next Year By Jason Cohen ith school set to begin on Sept. 7, the students in the Wayne School District are in for several new courses and programs this school year. The district is launching new science and language arts programs for the elementary school students and introducing a new one-to-one computer initiative where Chromebooks will be given to all of the high school students. Also, the district is starting construction of new science labs at both high schools as a start of a multiyear plan to renovate all of its high school science labs.

Superintendent Mark Toback stressed that as society moves ahead with technology, so must education. “We are seeking to make everything we do more mobile friendly and we have a number of new ways to push information out to parents,” Toback said. The superintendent noted that the district also completed several projects during the summer to make the schools ADA compliant. Ramps and railings were installed at George Washington Middle School and at Wayne Hills High School and chair lifts were also installed at the stages at both

high schools. Additionally, new bleachers were put in the gyms of both high schools. There will also be old faces in new roles this year.

department, will be the new assistant principal at Wayne Valley High School. Kristy Stofey was named the assistant principal at Wayne Hills High School. Stofey previously taught in Jersey City and is a 10year veteran of the Wayne School District.

What To Do When Your Cat Needs A Bath

ccording to the American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals, indoor cats rarely need baths. That’s because indoor cats use their tongues and teeth to stay relatively clean. While cats can benefit from routine brushing, which can reduce shedding and cut back on hairballs, the bath tub is a place cats need not visit regularly. But sometimes cats find themselves in sticky situations that dirty their coats and give them a less than agreeable odor. In such instances, a bath may be the only way to clean up your cat. Cat owners concerned about bathing cats can consider the following tips, courtesy of the ASPCA. Trim the claws. Cats are unlikely to find a bathtub comfortable, so cat owners should expect them to resist. Owners can protect themselves from such

resistance by trimming their cat’s claws prior to bath time. Brush your cat’s hair. Matted hair can be a nuisance come bath time, and that can translate into a lengthier bath that will try the patience of cat and owner alike. Just before bath time, brush your cat’s hair to loosen any matted areas. Once hair has been brushed, gently insert some cotton into your cat’s ears to prevent water from getting inside them. Choose the right time. Mellow or tired cats are less likely to resist a bath than well-rested cats with lots of energy, so choose a time of day when your cat is typically mellow to give the animal its bath. Allow the cat to play with some toys prior to bath time so he or she grows a little tired. Use a bath mat. Cats likely won’t be comfortable in the tub or sink, and that comfort level is only further compromised if they

are slipping around. Use a bath mat so your cat is not slipping and sliding. Use lukewarm water. When bathing your cat, use only lukewarm water. Get your frisky friend wet in three to four inches of water before gently massaging a solution that is one part cat shampoo and five parts water into his or her hair. Massage in the direction of the hair growth

and do not use human shampoo, which can dry out cats’ skin. When the time comes to rinse the soap, once again gently use lukewarm water, taking caution to avoid getting soap and water into your cat’s eyes, ears and nose. Make sure there is no remaining shampoo residue, which can irritate the skin and attract more dirt. Dry your cat off. Long-hair cats may need their fur to be untangled with wide-toothed combs. Short-hairs can be dried in a warm place with a large towel wrapped around their bodies. Some cats may be comfortable if you use a hair dryer set on the lowest heat setting to dry them off, but don’t push it if your cat is not responding well to the hair dryer.

Contractor Or Employee? Knowing The Difference Is Important

work done and they assess the worker’s independence. Here are some of their guidelines: • The more the employer has the right to control the work (when, how and where the work is done), the more likely the worker is an employee. • The more the financial relationship is controlled by the employer, the more likely the relationship will be seen as an employee and not an independent contractor. To clarify this, an independent contractor should have a contract, have multiple customers, invoice the company for work done, and handle financial matters in a professional manner. • The more businesslike the arrangement, the more likely you have an independent contractor What’s happening in your school or organization? relationship.

s a worker an independent contractor or an employee? This seemingly simple question is often the contentious subject of numerous IRS audits. As an employer, getting this wrong could cost you plenty in the way of Social Security, Medicare and other employment-related taxes. Here is what you need to know. As the worker: If you are a contractor and not considered an employee you must: • Pay self-employment taxes (Social Security and Medicare-related taxes) • Make estimated federal and state tax payments. • Handle your own benefits, insurance and bookkeeping. As the employer: You must

ensure your employee versus independent contractor determination is correct. Getting this wrong in the eyes of the IRS can lead to: • Payment and penalties related to Social Security and Medicare taxes. • Payment of possible overtime, including penalties for a contractor reclassified as an employee. • A legal obligation to pay for benefits. Things to consider When the IRS recharacterizes an independent contractor as an employee they look at the business relationship between the employer and the worker. The IRS focuses on the degree of control exercised by the business over the

Donations Lost, Thrift Store Aborted- SOS Appeals For Financial Support And Volunteers By Cheryl Conway vacated plan to open a second thrift store may have dimmed its hope for a brighter future, but the battered women’s shelter organization still hangs on to survive. Strengthen Our Sisters (SOS), a non-profit program serving homeless/battered women and children for more than four decades, had planned to open up a second thrift store in Passaic as early as January this past year. The store, Treasures Two, was going to feature furniture and clothing sales, with proceeds to cover the mortgage and utility costs incurred in operating a seven-facility shelter. Plans to open the store at 919 Main Ave. in Passaic were stalled when the landlord was told he needed to provide a fire suppression system. In the meantime SOS was paying for storage space for months to house furniture and clothing received from generous donators. When the date to open the

store was pushed to March, then April, SOS decided it could not wait any longer for the space to be available as they were losing too much money to rent the storage space. “That store won’t be ready for months,” says Sandra Ramos of Ringwood, founder and executive director of SOS. Edee Galzan, volunteer administrative director of SOS says “SOS was losing money in storage and we couldn’t afford it.” To make matters worse, when SOS announced it had to pull out, the store’s landlord did not refund SOS all of its money owed to them. “He didn’t give us back all our money,” says Ramos. “He owes us $4,000. We paid three and a half months rent, security deposit.” When SOS stopped paying the rent for the storage space, it soon lost all of its beautiful donations, says Ramos. “It’s a gimmick,” says Ramos. The monthly storage rent had in-

creased from $30 to $300. “We got really nice stuff,” and now it is gone. “Wonderful merchandise over $7,000,” says Galzan. “We lost it. We had to let it go. We signed something; if you are not able to pay, they are allowed to sell it.” With one step forward and two steps back, SOS continues its appeal for monetary donations, volunteers and necessary items to keep the shelters open. With restricted monies coming in, the organization has been in jeopardy of closing its doors to hundreds of women and children. Established in 1977 as Shelter Our Sisters – Ramos began the first shelter for battered women in North America out of her three bedroom home in Hackensack as early as 1970. The organization changed its name to Strengthen Our Sisters and grew as big as eight houses, two day care centers, a food pantry and a thrift store. 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 limited money from sources such as the Passaic County Dept. of Human Services and private donations. Ramos currently has 17 non-paid volunteers who drive shelter residents to look for jobs and attend court, doctor appointments, social services, schools; and run the thrift store and day care centers. SOS is currently down to seven facilities located in Newfoundland, Wanaque and West Milford, providing shelter to 150 women and children, with more calling every day. Relying on monetary support and understanding lenders has paved the way toward SOS’s shaky survival. One Livingston business person- who had given SOS $35,000 to support the second thrift store and help pay for the shelter’s utility fees- issued another $9,000 to continued on page 17

SOS for its troubles. Ramos also managed to get the shelter’s mortgage reduced from $800K to $499K. “Edee’s very organized; we are paying all our bills and trying to hold on,” says Ramos. “She’s organizing the one store.” “We do have a truck now,” says Ramos, to pick up donations. Money is needed for storage of any furniture donations, as well as money for gas to put in the truck. Ramos had been counting on $30,000 from a United Way grant but that was denied when SOS didn’t have its audit completed in time, she says. “Keeping seven shelters running is no joke,”

says Ramos. SOS is $73,000 behind in the monies owed to PSEG and operating costs. Losing the second thrift store, “This really set us back. “We are still accruing bills,” says Ramos. “They are allowing us to stay open; they see we are making an effort. They could have cut us off a long time ago.” While donations are appreciated, Galzan says SOS needs to reorganize its one thrift store for more space before accepting any furniture or large items. Financial donations to help pay for the mortgage and utilities is SOS’s greatest need, as well as volunteers to drive the residents to appointments, work at the store and shelters and landscape the properties.

Other immediate items include large black contractor garbage bags, toilet paper, cleaning products, non-perishable food, fresh fruits and vegetables, beds, a power lawn mower and weed whacker. Donations can be sent to P.O. Box 1089, Hewitt, N.J., 07421; or call 973-831-6156. Those willing to donate can also go to gofundme.com/strengthenoursisters. Another option is to visit SOS’s thrift store, Treasures, at 196 Lincoln Ave., West Milford. In existence for 30 years, Treasures is open seven days a week from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Call the store at 862-248-9935 for more information. For more information on SOS go to www. strengthenoursisters.org.

Did You know?

ehicle identification number etching, or “VIN etching,” is a theft deterrent in which an automobile’s VIN, a 17-character code consisting of letters and numbers unique to each vehicle, is etched onto the vehicle’s windows. Some manufacturers may etch the VIN onto the windows of all of their vehicles, while others may not. Dealerships may charge VIN etching fees to buyers of new vehicles, but buyers should always consult their insurance companies before agreeing to pay such fees. Some insurance

providers do not discount premiums for vehicles with VIN etching, while others might. Drivers may not want to pay VIN etching fees if their insurance providers will not discount their premiums, so it pays to consult with providers before purchasing a new vehicle. In addition, drivers who want to save money on etching fees but still do all they can to deter prospective car thieves may want to purchase their own VIN etching kits, which typically cost around $20.

Two Women Continue Mission To Provide Safe Haven To Victims of Sexual Exploitation

By Cheryl Conway Phillipsburg women has found her life’s purpose in a non-profit organization that provides a safe haven for female victims of sexual exploitation. Ariel Wagner is the co-founder, director and C.E.O. of Zera House. Wagner, 35, founded Zera House in Dec. 2015, along with her Friend, Katie Van Gorp, of Atlanta, Ga. For extra support, they partnered with School For Life in West Virginia, as well as support from the church community. “Sex exploitation and trafficking of men, women and children is a $32 billion industry in the world, more than Nike, Coca Cola and Google combined,’’ Wagner said. “The U.S. holds $9.5 billion of that; New Jersey is number seven in the country when it comes to sex trafficking.” In Aug. 2016, Zera House was given a physical house in the mountains in McDowell County, W.Va., a poverty-stricken area comparable to many in third world countries, said Wagner. It had a drugs and prostitution problem, sewage under homes and no-running water. The house, which can host four to five women at a time, is being renovated and is expected to open by the end of this summer. The motivation behind the organization began eight years ago, when Wagner was first introduced to the concept of humans being trafficked, sexually exploited and sold into slavery, she said. In Feb. 2012, she went on a two-week mission to Thailand with a non-profit group that rescues children, Remember Nhu. There, she worked with orphanages with 75 children, aged two to 18, targeted for such abuse. She helped with programs and projects, such as music lessons and exercise classes, and went into villages, searching for children at risk of being sold into slavery for child prostitution. “This just grieved my heart for so long,” says Wagner, who decided to share her vision with Van Gorp to establish a refuge in the mountains to help women heal. Wagner had been working for 10 years as a massage therapist

in Phillipsburg, when, she says: “I was called to do this, to do Zera House. The Lord gave me this vision.” After being in a relationship involving sexual, mental and emotional abuse herself for three years, Wagner had to heal first. “I came out of my own abusive situation and said I want to help others heal too,” says Wagner. Zera means seed in Hebrew, hence the name Zera House, which has a mission, ‘to plant seeds into their hearts and souls, so they are equipped to live out their purposes of their lives.” The program is faith based, with a holistic approach involving sustainable living practices. “We have a home where these women can come and heal,’’ says the mission statement. “Our mission is to share the love, hope and grace of our loving father in heaven.” Since April, Wagner has been living in a loft in a large school with many rooms to board women for a week, month or year. The school was provided by School for Life, an organization that contacted Wagner through her church, The Chapel of Warren Valley in Washington, where Wagner’s parents are members. At that church, volunteers got involved with Jersey Crew, a dedicated group that visits that impoverished area of West Virginia at least five times a year to help with repairs and construction. “I came here to visit,’’ Wagner said. “When I first got here, I said, ‘I can’t do this.’ It’s a very sad, very poor area. I knew this was going to be the first area to have our home.” So far, she has a 9- year-old girl in her care, given to her by the child’s guardian after she was taken from the mother, who was involved in prostitution. She also has in her care a 35-year-old woman who was homeless and involved in drugs and prostitution. “I am helping her stay off the streets, stay out of trouble and go through the healing process emotionally,” said Wagner. “She’s doing very well.” The woman just graduated from nursing classes, she added. At the house, women receive counseling, build necessary life skills, volunteer in the commu-

nity and learn about sustainable living. The main goal is to equip women with the skills and personal resolve they need to function in society without returning to exploitative industries. Once women are in her care

for up to a year, her plan is to provide transitional Housing. The women will live in apartments and be taught budgeting and other home skills, like grocery shopping “Some may not continued on page 19

Fundraiser Provides Seed Money... continued from page 18 have a high school diploma; we will help them get their GED’s,’’ Wagner said, adding that she’d like to help them find a passion and turn it into a career. She’d like to keep them close by, she said, “so they can be mentored; they need that accountability still.” Wagner is currently working with four organizations whose volunteers help her locate women and provide transportation to Zera House. She has also hired a certified counselor to provide in-depth therapy to her clients. Money to pay for utilities, repairs maintenance, food, groceries and services comes from fundraisers and donations, she says. A dinner benefit held March 2 at The Farmhouse at the Grand Colonial in Hampton to raise awareness about Zera House provided $20,000 as seed money. Additionally, all proceeds from a June 24 fundraiser at Healing Path Massage Therapy and Spa in Long Valley went to Zera House.

“We thought it would be five years to open our first home,” says Wagner. Instead, it’s taking only two years since incorporated. While children being trafficked is extremely disturbing, Wagner decided to focus on women over 18, because there isn’t enough help for them, she said. “We want a program established and strong before we take on children,” she said. “Human trafficking is the second largest criminal enterprise in the world, after drug smuggling and arms dealing,’’ Wagner said. “80 percent of slaves today are used for sex. The average age of a teen who enters the sex trade in the U.S. is 12 to 14 years old. Many victims are runaway girls who were sexually abused as children.” The community can help by donating funds, as well as gardening tools and volunteering their time, she said. “If this is something that tugs at their heart, they can partner financially,” says Wagner. “If they want to volunteer a talent

or craft, they are welcome to come.” She suggested a need for makeup artists to help women with their makeup, or jewelry or scarf makers, or those who just want to visit to have tea with the women. For more information, visit www.zerahouse.org. To donate or volunteer, contact Wagner at ariel@zerahouse.org.

“Ultimately, I believe I want to live out the purpose of my life, that’s helping others,” concludes Wagner. “This demographic has grieved my heart for so long. Instead of watching it happen, I want to do something about it. These women are so broken. I believe it is my calling to piece these women back together and become whole again.”

insurance providers do not discount premiums for vehicles with VIN etching, while others might. Drivers may not want to pay VIN etching fees if their insurance providers will not discount their premiums, so it pays to consult with providers before purchasing a new vehicle. In addition, drivers who want to save money on etching fees but still do all they can to deter prospective car thieves may want to purchase their own VIN etching kits, which typically cost around $20.

The Best Ways To Cheer On Favorite Sports Teams

utumn weather calls to mind sipping warm cider and raking leaves. But for sports fans, fall is all about sports. American football, field hockey, ice hockey, and basketball are just a few of the sports that make autumn an exciting time for sports fans. Even the most ardent fan may have room for improvement when it comes to supporting his or her team. Here are a few ideas to make cheering for a favorite team even more enjoyable. Attend a game Fans who never get to see their team play in person may miss out on a unique experience. The atmosphere and energy of sitting in a stadium or arena cannot compete with a television simulcast. Ardent fans can resolve to attend a game in person this season. Enroll in employee entertainment clubs to receive discounts on sports tickets among other types

of entertainment. Host a game watch Build camaraderie with fellow fans by hosting a game watch. A routine sports night is a great way to get together with friends and family members. Gather a group at your house each week to watch a favorite team battle it out on the big screen. Or get together with fellow fans in the community at a sports bar or restaurant, combining a night out on the town with your passion for sports. Get the kids involved Spread the love of fandom to a new generation. Schools and youth organizations can encourage children to support local scholastic teams. Organize field trips to sporting events to involve as many students as possible. Fall sports are heating up, and fans can do their part to support their favorite teams in various ways.

Be Prepared For Inclement Weather

hen it comes to storms and hurricanes, you can never be too prepared. To keep your family safe, it’s important to prepare for the worst because once a hurricane or storm hits, action must be taken quickly. In the case of a power outage, a common side effect of natural disasters, one of the best pieces of equipment to have on hand is a portable generator. Portable generators can provide the power needed to access important radio or television weather updates, lights, hot water and refrigeration for safe food storage, among other necessities. After a storm, it is difficult to predict when power will be restored, so it’s best to be prepared with a backup power source. When used properly, portable generators can save lives, but there are some risks that come along with using them. Safe use is critical to avoid dangerous carbon monoxide which you cannot see, taste or smell. The Portable Generator Manufacturers’ Association recom-

mends taking time to reacquaint yourself with your generator’s features and safe operating instructions, as well as keeping these safety tips in mind: • Keep the operator’s manual in a safe place so you can refer to it easily for further information about safe operation and potential hazards. • To avoid dangerous carbon monoxide accumulation from a portable generator, always “Take It Outside.” Never run a portable generator indoors, in areas such as garages, basements, crawl spaces, breezeways, sheds or other partially enclosed spaces. • Always place a portable generator downwind and point the engine exhaust away from occupied spaces. • Avoid placing a portable generator near windows, doors or vents, as carbon monoxide gas can accumulate and potentially be drawn indoors. • Install battery-operated carbon monoxide alarms according to manufacturer’s instructions. Replace batteries and test the alarm regularly to ensure it is in

inding ways to curb your monthly spending may leave you feeling like you’re living to work, not the other way around. When you’ve trimmed the excess from your monthly budget and still need to cut back more, it may take some creative thinking to get those dollars and cents to start adding up. For most people, the first step toward saving on bills is getting rid of all the extra spending. However, that’s not always enough, and it’s not always practical or realistic to cut down to bare bones. Before you stress about where to cut next, take a look at these tips for little changes that can add up to big savings: 1. Reconsider your cable source. There are literally dozens – maybe more – streaming services available to fulfill your viewing needs. Most people subscribe to a cable or satellite package that has plenty of excess channels. Many streaming options allow you to take a more custom approach so you’re only paying for the

Five Tips To Save On Bills programming you actually watch. 2. Update your mobile phone and plan. Do some checking to ensure you’re getting the best value on your mobile service. Make sure you’re only paying for the features and services you use, and that you’re not paying for more data or access than you need. You may even find that looking into a prepaid program like the NUU Mobile Smartphone bundle is the most cost-effective route. You can get one of the latest Android smartphones with up to 2 months of the Lycamobile $29 monthly unlimited plan included. The plan provides unlimited nationwide talk, text and data, as well as unlimited international texts and

a generous international calling allowance. With no contract and the ability to make the switch in minutes, there is no need to worry about spending valuable time waiting in line for a new device and plan. 3. Conserve water usage. A long, steamy shower may be part of your morning ritual, but if you’re looking for places to cut, it only makes sense to look at ways to quit sending money down the drain. Cut back on shower time and take other steps to modify your water bill, such as researching nonpeak times for cheaper dishwasher and laundry operation. 4.Keep power under control. If you habitually flit from room to room and

leave lights on in your wake, you’re simply wasting money. Turn lights off when you leave the room and make sure electronics aren’t drawing power when they’re not in use, not only for safety but for savings, too. 5. Adjust your cli-

mate. Changing your thermostat even a couple of degrees can make a big difference in your bill. Rely on dimmed lights, window treatments and fans to help keep rooms cool, and always nudge the temperature up or down several degrees when

you’ll be away for an extended period. Small changes in your daily habits can have a surprisingly big impact, especially over a period of time. Explore more budget-friendly options to fit your lifestyle at nuumobile.com.
