By Cheryl Conway

For those who agree “it’s better to givethan receive,” there is an opportunity

banging on the door of a shelter or-ganization that could help hundreds of

women and children who may be left on the

street if the mortgage is not paid.Secret Santas may be long gone, but

there has to be an angel out there willing to

hold the mortgage of Strengthen Our Sis-

ters, a grassroots, community based non-

profit, program serving homeless/battered

women and children for more than fourdecades. Faced with mortgage conflicts, the

shelter has to come up with $30,000 by Jan.

15 to avoid foreclosure.Established in 1977 as Shelter Our Sis-

ters - the first shelter for battered women inNorth America- the organization changed

its name to Strengthen Our Sisters (SOS)

and grew to eight houses, two day care cen-

ters, a food pantry and a thrift store. The

properties’ value a total of $2.5 million,with just under $600,000 left to be paid.

With restricted monies coming in, the or-

ganization is at risk of closing its doors to

hundreds of women and children with no

other safe place to go.

“I don’t know what would happen tothese people,” says Sandra Ramos of Ring-

wood, founder and executive director of

SOS. “If we don’t get help with the mort-

gage people will be on the street. If some-

one wants to be an angel and save our mort-gage that would be great.”

Ramos explains “if we had the $30,000it would be the drop down money if some-

one could give it.”

Rialto Capital Management Advisors inFlorida, the company that is holding the

mortgage bridge loan, did not return phone

calls to New View Media Group as of press

time. Valley National Bank had sold the

mortgage to Rialto when SOS’s funding

was reduced, says Ramos.“During this year and one half, they

have seen our reliability and commitment

to avoid foreclosure by paying $30,000every three months, which is directly ap-

plied to the principal, along with a monthlypayment of $7,000,” says Ramos. “SOS has

done this faithfully, although it has been

challenging.”

Ramos, a pioneer advocate for battered

women, started her first shelter in 1970 inher three bedroom home in Hackensack.

She had three small children at the time,

was facing divorce after ten years of mar-

riage and was in need of a roommate, she

explains.

“I wanted a roommate,” says Ramos, soshe put the word out that she wanted to

share her house. “The ones who came to me

By Cheryl Conway

Ayear has come and gone since I have taken the

reins as editor of New View Media Group News-papers and what a positive journey it has been.

Being part of a company that has doubled in size, from

eight monthly papers to 17, has been so exciting but thegreatest joy for me has been being on the forefront of so

many wonderful stories that surround us every day. Most

other newspapers will fill their pages with police stories,

obituaries, car accidents, suicides, murders, disasters, law

suits, political battles and controversial issues that busy mu-nicipal governments and school boards.

While every journalist craves that news breaking story

or that shocking incident for that hard-nose reporter to cap-

ture all those details whether gory or devastating, there isnothing quite refreshing or satisfying than covering a feelgood story that tugs at heart strings and puts a smile on

one’s face.

My days this past year have surrounded me with stories

about the kindest people who have given their time, mind

and spirit to help others in need; who have gone above and

beyond in their endeavors or jobs; who have put other peo-ple’s lives before theirs; or about events that bring joy to

the community or raise needed funds or supplies for a par-

ticular issue or charity; and even about communities and

school districts that continue to work together to improve

their surroundings through new programs and resources; as

well as businesses that continue to keep hard workers em-ployed while providing the best services to customers.

While New View Media Group is an unaffiliated paper,

meaning it remains untied to any particular religion or po-litical group, it upholds similar virtues and ethics like being

kind to others, helping thy neighbor, giving tzedaka or char-

ity, doing a mitzvah or kind deed, volunteering time and

sharing generously and unselfishly with those in need.

Looking back through the twelve months of 2015, somany stories of genuine kindness fill my mind that it would

be wrongful of me to not reminisce before jumping in to

share the positive moments unfolding for 2016.

For Musconetcong News readers, the stories that tookcenter stage included the Netcong Elementary School thatparticipated in Hats Off To Cancer by donating hats of all

kinds to children with cancer; Mardis Gras Sunday musical

event at Stanhope United Methodist Church in Netcong

that raised money for continued devastation of Hurricane

Sandy; Hopatcong Women’s Club collected 609 pounds of

food to help those in need; Hopatcong students spent oneweek doing kind deeds for the Kindness Challenge; dedi-

cated volunteers continued to help Lake Musconetcong

stay clean and clear; Netcong Girl Scouts hosted a

fundraiser and collected donations for food drive; local

churches partnered to collect and ship needed supplies to

war dogs; Netcong Boy Scout hosted a blood drive; LakeHopatcong Foundation hosted a fitness event to raise

$50,000 for lake; Girls Scouts collected crayons to recycle

to helps kids in hospitals; local family who lost 10 year oldboy in boating accident motivated others to participate in

acts of kindness.

The positive stories are endless and contagious really.

Shared each month to inspire, motivate, reflect and channel

others to get involved, donate, give back, participate oreven just turn negative energy into one filled with optimism

and hope, each community stands stronger and united

knowing that there are people out there who do care and

are making a difference every day.Nothing wrong with being humble, but do not let that

stop you from contacting New View Media Group to share

your contribution of how you helped to make the world a

brighter place. There is nothing wrong with shining and

patting yourself on the back for some well-deserved recog-

nition.

Send your press releases and story ideas to me at [email protected]. I look forward to hearing from you

in 2016…until then happy, healthy New Year to all readers.

Exter explains, “I wanted to give back and

help the place which inevitably saved my

life.”

Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Cen-ter (MSKCC) is where Exter received histreatments and it is this center where the

money raised from the Layups 4 Life chal-

lenge will be donated. Having had his

share of varsity court time at RHS, Exter

decided it would be the perfect place tohold his challenge. “I wanted to combine

my passion with a cause and that is how

Layups 4 Life was born,” Exter explains.

Cancer research is a long and ongoing

process which is why funds are always

needed for the research as well as clinicaltrials which will aid in working towards a

cure. Exter explains that after last year’s

challenge he divided the donations up into

three different categories all within

MSKCC. The categories were GeneralLeukemia, Pediatric Leukemia and a Bone

Marrow Research Foundation. Although

disbursement of funds has not yet been de-

cided for this year, it is likely that the

money raised from the challenge will again

go to the same categories within MSKCC.

The Layups 4 Life main challenge con-sists of a 3-on-3 basketball tournamentopen to both boys and girls ages 15 and up.

This challenge invites Roxbury residents to

compete and, as Exter explains, the chal-

lenge is “open to the Roxbury community

and beyond,” having stated that lastsyear’s event consisted of teams from all

over the east coast such as participants

from New York, Connecticut and Massa-

chusetts.

The teams can be co-ed and in the past

had members from ages 15 up to 50. Thecost for registration is $25 per team mem-

ber and teams consist of four members.

The cost of registration goes up to $30 per

team member after April 4.

This tournament gives a chance for any-one and everyone to show their skills on

the court as well as an opportunity to honor

Layups 4 Life...continued from front page family and friends who continue their bat-

tle with cancer. Exter recalls that many

teams make t-shirts with their team nameand one team last year had shirts to honor

their friend still fighting cancer. This tour-nament is a great reminder of the strides

that have been made to combat cancer,

with Exter being living proof, but it is alsoproof that the battle has not yet won for

everyone.

An overall winner of the tournament

will be chosen at the end of the event. Last

year the winners were presented with a

gym bag with the Layups 4 Life logo on itand spectators who participated in the raf-

fle and silent auction were able to win an

array of gift certificates donated by local

businesses as well as professional sports

memorabilia. Exter says a prize is hope-fully in the works for this year’s winners

as well.

With last year’s tournament the Layups

4 Life challenge raised more than $10,000

with 40 teams registered to play and 300spectators in the stands, the Layups event

had quite the draw. With this year’s event

drawing closer challengers, seasoned and

rookie, are invited to come out and register.

There is more than one way to partici-pate. A group can register a team to take

part in the tournament. Teams consists of four members, giving the 3-on-3 chal-

lengers a one substitute.

Even for those who wish to stay off thecourt there is a place to help out, Exter ex-

plains that making a donation, becoming a

sponsor or even just coming by on the day

of the event to take part in the silent auc-

tion and raffle as well as cheering on the

teams helps out just as much.The event is scheduled to be held at the

ROHS on Sun. April 10; doors open at

10:30 a.m.; team registration confirmation

is at 10 a.m.

For more information about Layups 4Life or to become a sponsor email Exter at

program or to register for the event go to

were the ones who got battered,” says

Ramos. “Women called to say ‘I can’t stay

in my house.’”One roommate turned into 23 women in

her house at one point, she admits. Her

children would sleep with her in her wa-

terbed; there would be some guests on the

floor, in the bathtub, in the basement.

“I would get a call and say ‘I’m sorry Ihave no room.’ But it was difficult to turn

people away who would say ‘I finally got

the courage to leave; if you don’t take me I

will die.”’

Ramos says, “My neighbors said they

didn’t want battered women on their block,and I told them, ‘they are already here, the

question is do you want them living with

pain, suffering and horror or do you want

them living with peace, dignity and re-spect?’”

When the town found out that Ramos

had too many people at her house they

“threatened to put me in jail,” she says. The

town cited her for “overcrowding” because

she had three or more unrelated people liv-ing together.

“I told the town ‘If you want a place forthem you have to drag them out kicking

and screaming;’ so they put them in a

motel,” Twin Lakes Motel in Paramus.Ramos did not turn her back on them

and instead continued to help them.

“We would have to pick them up and

take them to look for housing, counseling,”

says Ramos. “They [the town] didn’t give

them food or services, counseling.”The Catholic Church would bring food

and battered women would work together

to help other women.

Over the years, in 1977, her initiative

became Shelter Our Sisters. She moved out

of her house to Bergen County in a houselocated on a church’s property in Bogota.

About 10 to 15 women in children lived

there.

Her organization grew, and established

a board of directors, but after a disagree-ment, the board fired Ramos in 1986.

Ramos separated and formed SOS a

year later. With her children grown, she

moved to her house in Ringwood “and peo-

ple started calling me. I let some peoplestay in my house. We knew we had to get a

shelter.”

They opened a thrift store in Haskell.

“We raised more money,” and even the

board from her first organization would

send her people to help.With a state regulated budget of up to

four million dollars, Ramos was able to

manage her organization but as state regu-

lations got stricter, operations got tougher

such as paying the mortgage.“I’ve always been an advocate for

women and children,” says Ramos, who

teaches social issues and dynamics of do-

mestic violence at Ramapo College in

Mahwah as an adjunct professor. “Every-

body has been touched by domestic vio-lence in one way.

“One woman was going to be killed by

Looking For An Angel To Save Shelter...continued from front page a gangster guy,” explains Ramos. Other

women and children she brought into her

shelter were rich but their husbands were

“molesters and child abusers. No one would

take them. We reach out to people who need

help. We help a lot of pregnant women and

children.”Through her shelter program, Ramos

says “thousands have been saved” during

the past 46 years. With two hotline num-

bers, Ramos has made herself available to

help others.The mission of SOS is to break the cycle

of domestic violence, poverty and abuse by

restoring balance and harmony through in-

dividual empowerment.

She currently helps 155 women and chil-dren in seven shelters located in New

Foundland, Wanaque and West Milford;

two daycare centers in Wanaque and West

Milford; a thrift store in a church; and one

food pantry in Wanaque.

To support her organization, Ramos re-ceives some money from the Passaic

County Dept. of Human Services, private

donations, counties and social services,

“but not enough to keep it going. We have

a transportation grant but they took it away.We have five vans; we need help. We’ve

been running for three and a half years with

a non-paid staff,” down from a paid staff of

55 that were let go when SOS lost funding,

she says.

Ramos says she currently has 17 non-paid volunteers who drive the shelter resi-

dents to look for jobs, to court, doctor

appointments, social services, schools; theyfix things, watch children.

“They are exhausted but they believe in

the shelter,” says Ramos, just like she does.

“I have seen women that have come to

me and their lives are a wreck, depressed,

suicidal,” she says.“People are still calling,” continues

Ramos. “Every day I get four or five calls.

We take almost everybody. We take people

who no one else will take. We take people

without welfare vouchers. We don’t want tosee them killed, beaten or frozen to death.

“Yesterday, a 70-year old woman had no

heat, we took her,” adds Ramos. She also

took in another woman with five children,

“who would be out in the street forced tolive with child molesters.”

One of her houses is for all older

women, some in wheelchairs, others with

oxygen. “Nobody will take them.”

Many of the women and children her or-

ganization helps “don’t have families,” areon section eight, have families or friends

“who don’t like them; who don’t want to

help them. We have a lot of dysfunctional

families.”

Ramos explains, “I see them heal, getstrong and get their lives together. We live

in a violent society; there’s a lot of violence.

The work I’m doing I feel it’s a mission but

right now I need an angel. I just need some-

one to pay off the mortgage or hold it. We

just really need someone to help.”To make a donation or to help, call

Ramos at 973-831-0898.

Messiah concerts aren’t just for Christmas anymore.

On Sun., Jan. 24, at 4 p.m., Part I and selected cho-

ruses and solos from Parts II and III of Handel’s

famous work will be performed by the Unity Choir under the

direction of choir director/organist Henry Repp of Netcong.The concert will take place at the First United Methodist

Church of Newton in Newton. The choir is made of singers

from a variety of local area churches.

Traditionally associated with Christmas, Messiah is a1700’s work based on scriptural text compiled by Charles

Jennens. According to the America Classic website

(http://www.classicamerica.net/), “The text begins in Part I

with prophecies by Isaiah and others, and moves to the an-

nunciation to the shepherds, the only ‘scene’ taken from theGospels. In Part II, Handel concentrates on the Passion and

ends with the "Hallelujah" chorus. In Part III he covers the

resurrection of the dead and Christ's glorification in heaven.”

Soprano Barbara Repp, Unity Choir member and wife of

its director, explained that the January concert is an outgrowth

of a long-standing Messiah Christmas concert that was heldat the Memorial Presbyterian Church in Dover. That concert

had been done for many years, but fell by the wayside.

Barbara explained, “In 2012, they again tried to revive the

Messiah performance and asked Henry to be the organist.

The concert was set for a Saturday afternoon in mid-Decem-ber. A major snowstorm arrived on that weekend and the con-

cert was cancelled. Due to various conflicts, the concert was

not going to be rescheduled in Dover. Many of the disap-

pointed singers contacted Henry and asked if there were some

way that the concert could be performed. Henry, who is the

director of music and organist at First United Methodist

Church in Newton, said that they could come to Newton todo it. There were some doubts whether they would have

enough singers, but had 45 for that first January concert.

Also, people liked the timing of it.

“Everyone loved having the concert in January after all

the hustle and bustle of the Christmas season was over. Lastyear, we had more than 75 singers representing 32 churches,”

said Barbara.

This year, again, singers from the local areas will be join-

ing in for what has become, for some, a tradition.

“Because once is never enough!” said Grace Church of

Hopatcong.

Another Hopatcong resident, Irene Yearwood , said, “Ihave been singing it for many years and love doing it. Many

of the performances of Messiah in which I’ve sang were with

Henry at the organ.”

For Amanda Drake Liu of Randolph, is it a way to honorloved ones. She said, “My mother sang in the Messiah for

over 45 years - for our family, the performance, a test of en-

durance for even the most well behaved child, signaled the

start of the Christmas season. She passed away five years ago

around this time. I brought my father to hear the Messiah here

Messiah Concert Features Local Performers

forthe past fewyears. He passedaway last year. I am singing

in memory of both of them.”In the case of Barbara Edwards of Newton, it reminds her

of her high school days at Roxbury High School in Succa-sunna and singing it there: “It was a long-standing tradition,

and we spent many hours learning our parts under the direc-

tion of Bud Beavers, a music director with great passion for

his work and a wonderful sense of humor. We all loved him

and sang our hearts out for him. I always have looked back

fondly on my high school Messiah experience, and when thecontinued on next page

New Jersey Blood Services has

planned the following blood

drives which are open to the pub-

lic.

sort, Denville, 1 p.m. to 7 p.m.

Mon., Jan. 25, Knights of Columbus,

Netcong, 3 p.m. to 9 p.m.

New Jersey Blood Services, a division

of New York Blood Center (NYBC) is

asking for help to maintain an adequate

supply of all blood types, but especially

O-negative – the “universal” blood which

can be transfused into anyone in an emer-

gency. In addition, hundreds of additionalblood drives need to be scheduled to meet

projected hospital demand. Current in-

ventory of several blood types is running

below the desired target level.

“It’s simple: hospital patient demand

for blood often outpaces our best efforts

to recruit donors and schedule blood

drives,” said NYBC Executive Director of Donor Recruitment Andrea Cefarelli.

“There are always reasons but we have to

overcome that for the sake of hospital pa-

tients who need us.”

“This is one of the toughest times of

the year,” Cefarelli added. “We’re asking

for our dedicated supporters to roll up

their sleeves to make sure we’re able to

provide our hospital partners with what-

ever they need to take care of their pa-

tients.”Blood products have a short shelf life

– from five to 42 days, so constant replen-

ishment is necessary. Each and every day

there are patients who depend on the

transfusion of red blood cells, platelets

and plasma to stay alive. But blood and

blood products can’t be manufactured.

They can only come from volunteer blood

donors who take an hour to attend a blood

drive or visit a donor center.

To donate blood or for information onhow to organize a blood drive call 1-800-

933-2566; visit: www.nybloodcenter.org.

Blood Drives Held In Jan.

Unity Choir reinstated this tradition, I was

naturally thrilled. I still use my yellowed, tat-

tered high school score, by the way.”This year, in addition to having Henry on

the organ, the choir will be joined by soloistsTom Carle (tenor), Kathleen Meredith (alto).

David Young (bass), and Molly Young (so-

prano).Henry, a church organist for 48 years,

began his organ studies with Alfred Mayer of

Morristown and continued with Dorothe

Lanning at First Memorial Presbyterian in

Dover, where he was later organist for 13

years and began his many years of playingMessiah. He had played at numerous venues

and organ concerts on a variety of organs in-

cluding those at St. Thomas Church in Man-

hattan and the Cathedral Basilica of the Sa-

cred Heart in Newark. He was affiliated withthe Pike County Choral Society for ten years.

In 1984, Repp accepted the position of or-ganist/choir director at Peapack Reformed

Church in Gladstone where he served for

twenty-nine years. He founded the PeapackReformed Church Community Choir which

presented a special musical program annually

on Palm Sunday afternoon. In 2012, Repp

became Director of Music and organist at

First United Methodist Church in Newton.

Not many students can say they have

played a part in the International

Space Station. Come this spring,

however, high schools students enrolled inthe Engineering Design and Advanced

Manufacturing (EDAM) program at

County College of Morris (CCM) will work

in a select group as NASA affiliates to build

products for the International Space Station.“It’s an amazing opportunity for young

students to gain practical hands-on experi-

ence and to start building their resumes,”

said Eric Pedersen, lab assistant for the en-

gineering programs at CCM who applied to

see if the high school students at CCMcould take part in the NASA High School

Students United with NASA to Create

Hardware (HUNCH) for the International

Space Station. CCM is the first college to

partner with NASA HUNCH.To mark the launch of the project at

CCM, Dr. Florence Gold, NASA HUNCH

implementation project manager, met with

the EDAM students on Wed., Jan. 6, to re-

view their assigned task for the space sta-

tion and offer recommendations and sug-

gestions. Also in attendance was John

Schamarek Jr. from Haas Factory Outlet.

The students will be working on equipmentmanufactured by Hass. At CCM, they will

be taking part in the HUNCH Build to Print

program designing and manufacturing parts

for single stowage lockers for the space sta-

tion.“When you put this on your resumes,

you are NASA contractors with the Johnson

Space Center,” Gold informed the students.

“You are now working for the space sta-

tion.”

Dr. Edward J. Yaw, president of CCM,adds, “Not only are these EDAM students

gaining a competitive edge by starting a

college education early, now they will be

implementing what they are learning in the

classroom for NASA and gaining the expe-rience to help them launch successful ca-

reers.”

EDAM is a share-time program devel-

oped by the Morris County Vocational

School District in partnership with CCM

High School Students At CCM Assist With Space Station Project

earlier this year. About 20 high school stu-dents are enrolled in the inaugural class.

The program is designed for students

with an interest in engineering, computer

applications and manufacturing. Upon

completion of the two-year program, stu-

dents earn 32 credits from CCM and a Cer-tificate of Achievement in Mechanical

Computer Aided Drafting and Engineering

Technology.

Morris County’s 39 municipalitieswill receive a total of $805,259in state recycling grants from a

pool of $14.3 million in grants announced

recently by the state Department of Envi-ronmental Protection, with the money tobe used to help implement and enhancelocal recycling efforts.

The funds, based on 2013 recyclingperformance, are being awarded throughthe state’s Recycling Enhancement Act.

Topping the list of grant recipients inMorris County are Montville, $59,560;Rockaway Township, $56,534; Parsip-pany, $50,378; and Madison, $40,905.

“Recycling is a way for all MorrisCounty residents, and our schools andbusinesses, to make a personal hands-ondifference in protecting our environment

and enhancing the quality of life in ourcounty and state,” said Morris CountyFreeholder Director Kathy DeFillippo.

“Recycling not only conserves re-sources, it conserves energy, saves moneyfor local governments, and creates jobsand economic development,” said DEPCommissioner Bob Martin.

The best way to recycle is to follow theguidelines advertised by your municipalityand only recycle those materials which are

State DEP Awards $14.3 Million In Recycling Grantsacceptable. Unacceptable materials in therecycling stream cause problems andlower the value of all the materials, saidMorris County Recycling Coordinator

Kathleen Hourihan.The state’s recycling grant program isfunded by a $3 per ton surcharge on trashdisposed of at solid waste facilities acrossthe state. Distribution of grants this year isbased on the recycling successes localgovernments demonstrated in 2013.

The grant program is designed to re-ward local governments for good perform-ance and to enhance recycling effortsacross the state, according to the DEP.Each award is based on materials col-lected and recycled and can be used in var-ious ways to improve recycling results,such as producing educational materialsand paying salaries for recycling coordi-nators.

In 2013, New Jersey generated morethan 10 million tons of municipal solidwaste (MSW). The DEP documented therecycling of more than 4.3 million tons of recyclable municipal wastes, which in-cludes items such as glass, aluminum andother metals, and paper.

This resulted in a MSW recycling rate

of 43 percent. In comparison, the nationalMSW recycling rate in 2013 was 34.3 per-cent, according to the federal Environmen-tal Protection Agency. Morris Countycontinues to be one of the leaders in thestate with an MSW recycling rate of nearly

50 percent.Overall, New Jersey in 2013 generated

more than 21 million tons of solid waste,which includes municipal waste plus con-

struction debris and other types of non-municipal waste. Of this, more than 12million tons were recycled, for an overallrecycling rate of 58 percent.

Municipal programs in the New ViewMedia Group coverage area will receivethe following grants: Chatham $34,911;Chatham Twp. $10,554; Chester $4,734;Chester Twp. $8,055; East Hanover$37,829; Florham Park $20,823; Hanover$31,692; Madison $40,905; Mendham$7,506; Mendham Twp. $3,849; MorrisTwp. $37,871; Morris Plains $16,697;Morristown $37,512; Mt. Arlington$2,841; Mt. Olive $36,149; Netcong$4,901; Randolph $36,382; Roxbury$26,762; and Washington $19,263.

“New Jersey was the first state to makerecycling mandatory, back in 1987,” saidMark Pedersen, DEP’s assistant commis-sioner for Site Remediation and SolidWaste Management. “The recycling cultureis deeply ingrained in most of us and hasbecome a daily habit in most of our homes,businesses, schools, hospitals and other in-

stitutions. Every time we pitch a bottle orcan in the recycling bucket, we are pitchingin to protect our environment.”
