By Dawn M. Chiossi ecently on May 10, the Gloria Foundation of Montville held its third annual fundraiser raising an impressive $30,000 to aid those who are affected by domestic violence. All proceeds went to benefit The Morris Family Justice Center, a domestic abuse shelter for Morris County. Started in 2016, The MFJC is an all-encompassing center where all of the needs of domestic violence survivors are all taken care of in one place: From counseling to protection, to legal services, to children’s services, to whatever is needed. In the words of Patty Sly, director and CEO of the MFJC, she terms the organization as a “one stop experience for the client.” She says, “It is the best practice for serving domestic violence victims.” This year, approximately 150 people gathered at the Waterside Restaurant in Bergen County to celebrate and aid the Gloria Foundation in this worthy cause. “I am so thrilled that people were so generous,” says Karen Arakelian, founder of the Gloria Foundation. The Morris Family Justice Center was elated with
the money as well. “We are thrilled to have the Gloria Foundation support the MFJC so generously,” Sly says. “The Gloria Foundation made a major $100,000 pledge to the center and the $30K raised will go toward that pledge.” Domestic violence, it is the darkest most awful thing people can endure. In addition to the physical often life-threatening battering the body takes, the psyche, self-esteem and emotions are also battered. And the numbers are staggering. It is reported that of those who are involved in an intimate relationship, on average nearly 20 people per minute are abused! That breaks down to one in four women and one in seven men. “There is such a need for help,” Arakelian asserts, and she is extremely insightful about the need for awareness about domestic violence. This includes the changing roles regarding abusers and victims, how they have no recognizable face. “It is not just women anymore,” Arakelian observes. “It is women, men, and even children.” Often much worse than a scarred body, is the scarring of the soul. Victims of domestic violence often
feel like there is no hope, that they are helpless, isolated and alone. But there is a light at the end of that dark hell. With aid and empowering help, such as the kind the Gloria Foundation provides, the victims of domestic violence transform into survivors—survivors that can flourish and thrive. The Gloria Foundation was established in 2013 with their consignment shop established in 2014. The mission of the foundation is to provide essential resources to local safe houses and domestic violence organizations. The Gloria Foundation was lovingly named after
Arakelian’s mother. Arakelian is warm, articulate and passionate on the subject of the Foundation, showing that something good could come out of such horror. “Domestic violence has had a big effect on my life,” she shares candidly; “My mother was a victim of domestic abuse. I saw what she went through. In a way it gave me drive, I realized I didn’t want to be dependent on anyone. I wanted to give back, to do something in her memory.” And both the foundation and fundraiser was a wonderful way to do just that. Sly has nothing but continued on page 2

The Gloria Foundation... continued from front page praise for Arakelian and the Gloria Foundation, thanking her profusely remarking, “She has a passion for the cause and a vision to serve.” When asked why the Morris Family Justice Center was chosen for the donation, Arakelian says, “When I first heard about the MFJC, I cried. I was so impressed that they are a comprehensive center where all needs for the sur-
vivor is taken into account. I wish that such a place existed for my mom when she needed it.” It is impossible to put a number on just how many people the Gloria Foundation and The Morris Family Justice Center has helped, but Arakelian asserts that since the MFJC has opened at least over 1,000 people have been aided for the better. During the night of the Gloria Foundation’s fund-
raiser, there were performers, a silent auction, speakers, a raffle, a DJ, dancing and much more. Despite the fun and celebration, the cause of aiding domestic violence was never far from anyone’s mind. The highlight of the night in Arakelian’s mind was the moving rendition of “Love the Way You Lie,” the Eminem and Rihanna song that her musician son and partner emotionally performed for everyone.
Fairfield Recreation Offering ‘Honeymooners’ Tickets
T
he Fairfield Recreation Department is offering group tickets to the Papermill Playhouse’s production of, “The Honey-
mooners,’’ on Oct. 11 at 7:30 p.m. The tickets, for orchestra seating, are $55 each. Those attending should arrange
their own transportation. Payment is due Sept. 8. Those interested should call 973-882-2700, ext. 2510.
“So many people came up to me saying that they never really thought about domestic violence from the abuser’s perspective, what they were going through— the stress that they feel. It was another perspective to consider.” In addition to raising even more money for survivors of domestic violence in the future, when asked what she wants to see for the Gloria Foundation, Arakelian is both adamant and hopeful: “Education for both boys and girls,”
she asserts. “We want to focus on prevention for our young people rather than the outcome, so that there will be no more victims out there.” And Sly absolutely agrees, “One of our many objectives is to educate the public and professional groups to detect and respond to partner abuse, teach teens about dating violence and how to protect themselves, and council abusers to help them understand and change their behaviors.”
Sly is so elated with all of the work that Arakelian and the Gloria Foundation has done, that she discloses, “We are happy to name the Morris Family Justice Center’s living room in honor of the Gloria Foundation.” Thinking back on her mom and what she would think of the Gloria Foundation and what they are doing to help in the cause of domestic violence, Arakelian says, “She’d love it. She was a great lady. She’d be very happy with this.”

Montville Superintendent Beats Personal Record In National Hot Dog Eating Contest
D
r. René Rovtar, superintendent of the Montville Township Public Schools, checked off an exciting item on her personal bucket list recently by competing in the iconic Fourth of July Nathan’s Famous Hot Dog Eating Contest. “I was drawn to it because it is not something people expect me to do,” said Rovtar, who qualified for the finals by eating eight hot dogs in 10 minutes. A tiny individual, Rovtar doesn’t have a large appetite for excessive amounts of food. But, she does have an appetite for knowledge and an excitement for learning about new things. “Last year, while watch-
ing the event on ESPN, I noticed a woman on the end who ate only four hot dogs,” Rovtar explained. “I said to my family, I can eat four hot dogs.” It was at that moment she began researching how to qualify for the competition. Last June, as her first year in the district came to an end, Rovtar was named Morris County Superintendent of the year. This year her OneMontville initiative that unites educators, religious leaders, politicians, community organizers, students and parents to promote kindness, acceptance and respect across the entire community, received a 2017 Promising Practice
award from the internationally recognized Character. org. “Montville Township is extremely fortunate to have such an inspired and inspiring leader,” said Montville Board of Education Member Michael Johnson. “There is no better testament to her ability to build spirit of community than the MTHS alum that traveled, on their own, to Coney Island to cheer her on.” A marathon runner who has competed 21 marathons, Rovtar obviously knows how to set goals and systematically overcome obstacles. She used that same skill set to achieve her dream of being a participant in the

world’s most famous competitive eating contest held every July 4 at Surf and Stillwell Avenues in Coney Island. After researching the qualifying rules, and calculating the odds to determine which of the 18 national qualifying competitions she could likely win, Rovtar traveled to Charlotte, N.C. over Memorial Day weekend, confident that she could win a spot in the 2017 Coney Island Competition. There she consumed seven hot dogs in 10 minutes. “My goal was 10, so I was disappointed, but I am excited to have made the finals,” she explained following the qualifier. Going into the 2017 July 4 event, Rovtar said she planned to do better than the qualifying match, and she hoped to eat 10 hot dogs in 10 minutes. “It was fantastic!” she said later. “My family and, somehow, a group of 2017 Montville Township High School graduates! They found each other in the crowd of 40,000 and they

Six Ways To Help Prevent Bullying Putting an end to bullying is everyone’s responsibility. Whether at home, school or elsewhere, it’s important that we’re proactive. Here are five ways that kids and parents can do their part. 1. Don’t be a bystander. It’s true that it takes a lot of courage to stand out from the crowd and defend a victim of bullying. After all, the risk is that you’ll become the next target simply for speaking up. But reporting bullying and being there for someone who needs it are actions you’ll be proud of for the rest of your life. 2. Stop sibling bullying at home. You may think it’s harmless, but it’s not. Disdainful eye rolling, relentless teasing, humiliating taunts, hitting and verbal abuse directed at a sibling can cause depression and anxiety. Make sure your home is a safe place for everybody who lives there. 3. Enlist the help of adults. If you see a need for increased adult supervision at highrisk times and places at school or at home, ask for help from a trusted adult. 4. Get on board with an anti-bullying campaign at school. These campaigns show kids that bullying is not cool and won’t be tolerated any longer. Make an anti-bullying banner and use social media to advertise the
fact that you stand up against verbal and physical violence. 5. Parents: get involved. If your child is a victim of bullying, you need to take the situation seriously. Schools, the police and child psychology experts vigorously object to the belief that bullying is a childhood rite of passage. If the problem doesn’t stop, talk to the school authorities, and then to the police if there are no further improvements. At home, be vigilant about sibling bullying, and make it stop. 6. Pay attention to cyberbullying. Those who use cell phones, internet or other devices for social media interaction open themselves up to the latest form of bullying. Parents, be aware and get involved. Teach your child proper usage of these devices and reinforce that sending any text, message or photo that is cruel, hateful or threatening is as harmful as face to face bullying. Learn about the internet and pay attention to what your child is doing online. All users should be taught cyberethics and the law to prevent cyberbullying. Don’t be a victim. Don’t be a cyberbully. Bullying is no longer seen as a normal rite of passage for children; it’s a preventable behaviour that we can eradicate through education, awareness and action.
