Phillipsburg Woman Champions Exploited Women’s Cause

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 billionindustry 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- yearold 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 community 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 exploitive 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 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 clicontinued on page 2

Fundraiser Provides Seed Money... continued from front page ents. 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 andbecome whole again.”

Agency Seeks Help Getting Homeless On Road To Success

amily Promise of Morris County, a social service provider of housing, job training, employment assistance and health assistance to the area’s homeless, has launched its “Keys to Housing Program” Campaign. The agency was awarded new permanent housing vouchers from the Department of Community Affairs, which cover the cost of rent for 15 prospective tenants, but not the initial one-time costs of $3,000 or more for additional expenses. The tenants may need

realtor fees, moving costs, storage and clean up costs, inspection fees, among other costs that are not covered. This unique Morris County program helps families and individuals build a sustainable community by addressing job training, employment, financial literacy, physical and mental health, child care and legal issues to obtain safe, affordable, permanent housing. “We are prioritizing the immediate need of stable housing, as it is a critical milestone in achieving the ultimate goal of self-suf-

ficiency,’’ said Executive Director Joann Bjornson, LSW. “We help locate, obtain, and retain permanent housing for our families and individuals and act as a liaison between clients and landlords to make safe, affordable housing a winwin situation for tenants and landlords.” The goal of the campaign is to raise $60,000 to house up to 15 families, many of whom are ready to be housed and whose vouchers expire Sept. 30.

Baby Box Company Partners With Butler Public Library

he Butler Public Library is now a Baby Box Distribution Center. Baby Boxes are inspired by the maternity packages given to all expectant mothers in Finland. They double as a baby starter kit and a safe sleep space for infants. They are an initiative that is new to the United States in an effort to equip expecting families with vital parenting education and resources. The boxes themselves are free to all expectant mothers through the Baby

Box University and include new parent essentials such as diapers, breast pads and more. The free distribution of Baby Boxes is part of the New Jersey’s Child Fatality & Near Fatality Review Board’s (CFNFRB) initiative to provide free Baby Boxes to every new or expecting family in N.J. According to N.J. State Department of Health Statistics, an average of 70 babies a year in N.J. die suddenly and unexpectedly. The Baby Box initiative is

one of several initiatives in the state to reduce sudden infant deaths. To claim a free baby box, register at: www. babyboxuniversity.com. On the site, one can receive a certificate of completion by watching a 1015 minute training course and taking a quiz. Print it out or take a screenshot and bring the certificate and the email address used on Baby Box University to Butler Public Library to collect a Baby Box.

Tame Nail-Trimming Fears

rimming pets’ nails can test the nerves of pet owners who might be worried they will cut too much nail off or hurt their dogs or cats. Long nails can be a nuisance for pets and may hamper their abilities to get around comfortably. To help maintain a consistent nail-trimming schedule, pet owners can practice ways to keep calm and apply techniques to make nail grooming easier on the pet. The first step in making nail trimming a calm and comfortable experience is to understand the anato-

my of your pet’s paws and nails. Dogs’ nails remain extended beyond the pads of the toes, while cats’ nails retract back into the

folds of the toes. In cats and dogs, nerve endings and blood vessels called “the quick” lie within the center of the hard nail. The

quick is easier to see in animals with light-colored nails and can be harder to distinguish in dark-nailed pets. If you trim too close to the quick, it can be painful for your pet and cause bleeding if nicked. This is why many pet owners are apprehensive about trimming their pets’ nails on their own. However, the longer the nails are left to grow, the further down the quick will extend. Some pets are amenable to nail trimming, while others may fear the clippers or simply do not like having their paws handled.

591 Newark Pompton Turnpike Pompton Plains, NJ

It may take time, but pet owners can work with their companion animals to assuage fears and make nail trimming go more easily. The Humane Society of the United States says trimming pets’ nails every few weeks is an important part of maintaining their health and can protect family and visitors from scratches. Before attempting to trim pets’ nails, pet owners should familiarize their pets to being handled. Begin by practicing touching the paws and nails. Reward pets for jobs well done with small food, treats, or

other incentives. Eventually progress to touching the feet with the trimmer. A tired or distracted pet can be easier to handle. According to dog-training expert Cesar Millan, dogs that are especially anxious or wired may need to get tired out before a nail-trimming session. Millan suggests an exercise like swimming to relax tense and anxious pets. A pet that’s especially anxious or fearful may only be able to continued on next page

Tame Nail-Trimming Fears... continued from previous page

tolerate trimming one nail per day. Sometimes it can be helpful to trim pet’s nails with a buddy. One person can take care of the nails, while the other reassures the pet with soothing tones and caresses. Larger dogs may require two people for the job simply because the animal may be too large to wrangle on your own. The right tools of the trade can also make a difference when trimming nails. Nail trimmers come in a few varieties. Many have a scissoring action that brings two blades together to cut off the nail. Another type is like a miniature guillotine. The pet’s nail is placed within a hole in the tool, and one blade

comes down to shear off the nail. Newer nail trimmers employ a sanding or grinding action to wear away the pet’s nail without actually cutting. Some cat owners use human nail clippers or small scissors to cut cat nails, which tend to be thinner and softer than dogs’ nails. Ultimately, find a tool your pets find comfortable and one you can handle properly. Keep a container of nail styptic powder ready just in case you do happen to cut a little too low and cause bleeding. In a pinch, Wahl pet product manufacturer suggests using corn starch, rubbing a clean scent-free bar of soap across the nail, or even applying ice to slow down the bleeding. If bleeding can-

not be controlled after 20 to 30 minutes and proper clotting is not taking place, then a veterinarian should be consulted immediately. Pets owners especially worried about nail trimming can leave the task to a professional groomer or veterinarian. Dr. Matthew Krupnick is the owner of the Pequannock Animal Hospital. He grew up in Kinnelon and is happy to be home – with his wife, three cats, and two dogs – to provide quality and compassionate care for pets in the community. The Pequannock Animal Hospital is located at 591 Newark Pompton Turnpike in Pompton Plains. You can reach the hospital by calling 973-616-0400.

Back-To-School Health Checks

he leisurely days of summer are over and it’s time to re-establish healthy habits and back-to-school routines. In addition to dental checkups and annual physicals, pediatric medical specialists recommend adding a scoliosis screening to back-to-school checklists. Scoliosis, a musculoskeletal disorder that causes an abnormal curvature of the spine or backbone (sometimes resembling an “S” or “C”), is the most common deformity of the spine, affecting an estimated 6-9 million people in the United

States. Certain conditions can cause scoliosis, including muscle diseases, birth defects or injuries, but the most common scoliosis is idiopathic, which means the cause is unknown. Scoliosis is most commonly diagnosed between 10-15 years of age, during periods of rapid growth. Although 10 percent of adolescents may have the condition, not all will need care. “Because most causes are unknown, early detection through routine screenings is key to providing the best possible outcome,”

said Amer Samdani, M.D., chief of surgery for Shriners Hospitals for Children® — Philadelphia. Signs of scoliosis Scoliosis can be hereditary and it is recommended that a child who has a relative with the condition receive regular checkups for early detection as they are 20 percent more likely to develop the condition. Pediatric medical experts recommend females be screened at least twice at ages 10 and 12 and males at either age 13 or 14. Children and teens with scoliosis rarely exhibit

symptoms and sometimes the condition is not obvious until the curvature of the spine becomes severe. In some cases, your child’s spine may appear crooked or his or her ribs may protrude. Some other markers to watch for in a child who has scoliosis are: • Clothes not fitting correctly or hems not hanging evenly • Uneven shoulders, shoulder blades, ribs, hips or waist • Entire body leaning to one side  • Appearance or texture continued on page 12

• Ballet • Tap • Jazz • Hip Hop • Contemporary • Lyrical • Triple Threat • Acrobatics • Aerial Silks • Voice • Musical Instruments

Back-To-School Health Checks... continued from page 11 of ribs sticking up on one side when bending forward • Head not properly centered over the body Diagnosing scoliosis When confirming a diagnosis of scoliosis, a doctor will confer with you and your child while also reviewing your child’s medical history; conducting a full examination of your child’s back, chest, feet, legs, pelvis and skin; taking a series of X-rays; measuring curves; locating the apex of the curve and identifying the pattern of the curve. Treatment of scoliosis According to Samdani,

there’s no one-size-fits-all treatment for scoliosis. “Some cases will just need to be watched; others will need physical therapy, bracing or surgical procedures to stop the curve from progressing,” he said. “At Shriners Hospitals, we offer the whole spectrum of treatments under one roof, all working together to get the best possible outcome for each child. We also treat children regardless of the families’ ability to pay, so that often provides a huge relief to parents.” For more information on scoliosis screenings, care and treatment, visit shriner-

shospitalsforchildren.org/ scoliosis. A Life-Changing Discovery For competitive swimmer Katie Lyons, a love for the sport began at 7 months old when her toes touched the pool’s water for the first time. At age 4, Katie swam in her first meet. Weeks before she turned 10, her coach observed a rib cage protrusion that looked similar to another teammate who had been diagnosed with scoliosis during routine stretching exercises in practice, and contacted her parents. The next day, her pediatrician confirmed the

life-changing discovery: she had scoliosis. Within a week of being diagnosed, Katie traveled to Shriners Hospitals for Children — Greenville, where she began treatment for an “S” curvature of her spine and was given a 98 percent chance of needing surgery. She was fitted for a brace, which she wore 20 hours a day and only took off for swim practice and bathing. Now on her fourth brace, she has been removed from the surgical list and hopes to continue to avoid surgery as she goes through her adolescent growth spurts; which for many scoliosis patients,

can send their curves into fast-forward. Early detection gave Katie a wider range of options for the treatment of her scoliosis. The strength of her core and daily stretching from swimming has helped manage and lower her double curves. App Helps Parents Detect Signs of Scoliosis You can also check your child’s spine for scoliosis with the help of your smartphone through the SpineScreen app – available for free in the iTunes and Google Play stores. For more information on the app and the importance of routine

screening, visit shrinershospitalsforchildren.org/scoliosis. To be used as an initial at-home check, the app can detect abnormal curves when the phone is moved along a child’s spine and determine if a follow-up visit with a doctor is necessary to confirm a potential diagnosis. If your child has scoliosis or any other orthopaedic condition, Shriners Hospitals for Children has 20 locations in the United States, Mexico and Canada that provide expert care.

“Something for Everyone”

Bring The Family in For Dinner!

(Across from CVS Shopping Center)

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.

u t r i t i o u s , well-rounded meals are essential for growth and proper brain development. A complete midday meal also helps boost mental and physical power so kids can keep on learning until the afternoon bell rings. It’s not always easy to find new and appealing ideas to fuel kids’ bodies and minds as they head back to school, but programs for families and educators such as the Power Your Lunchbox Pledge can help. “Families are looking for ways to start the year on the right foot and the Power

Back-To-School Power for Body and Mind Your Lunchbox Pledge offers everything they need in one spot,” said Trish James, vice president of Produce for Kids. “Families want to know their kids are receiving the right brain food to get them through the day. Our registered dietitian-approved meal inspiration, tips and ideas provide the foundation families need for success.” In addition to kid-tested, lunchbox-friendly recipe ideas, the program provides resources and lesson plans for educators who want to create activities to inspire healthy eating in the classroom. This year’s program also includes a partnership

with The World of Eric Carle, allowing students to win copies of his popular collection of children’s books. Additionally, every online pledge results in a $1 donation to Feeding America programs that support families and children. Look for recipes, tips and ideas on Instagram and Twitter using #PowerYourLunchbox, and learn more about the program at poweryourlunchbox.com.
