No. 2 Vol. 2 mypaperonline.com February 2016

By Anastasia Marchese

It is difficult to encapsu-

late the work of FamilyPromise.

Its mission statement ex-

plains it best; “Family

Promise of Morris County

is a non-sectarian, not-for-

profit organization dedi-cated to ending the crisis of

homelessness faced by

Morris County families by

partnering with other public

and private agencies, reli-gious congregations and

community volunteers to

provide shelter, case man-

agement and mentoring

services leading to self-suf-ficiency.”

One of the main ways

that Family Promise has

served the homeless com-

munity in Morris County

has been through its inter-faith network. More than 70

area congregations open

their homes of worship on a

rotating basis, to providetemporary food and shelterfor those without housing.

Many volunteers through-

out the county make this

Emergency Shelter and

food available to those in

need.

The new Our Promisedrop in center does not pro-

vide nighttime shelter, but is

meeting many other press-

ing needs for the homeless

community in Morristown.

“We have two main fo-cuses at the center,” said

Joann Bjornson, executive

director of Family Promise

Morris County “providing

for basic needs and casemanagement.”

When people who are

not living in a homeless sit-

uation think of basic needs,

there are many things thatmay not come to mind.

Bjornson noted how impor-

tant access to bathrooms

and hygiene items are for

those living without safe

housing.“Even just the dignity

and respect of being able to

have access to clean, safe

restrooms,” she said. “Andthings like underwear, socksand feminine hygiene

items.”

Bjornson mentioned that

the homeless population

Family Promise Opens New Drop In Center, Our Promiseoften doesn’t have access to

laundry facilities either.

“Their socks get wet andthey have no way to wash

them, so instead of carrying

around dirty socks, they

throw them away.”

In order to help people

clean and maintain their be-longings, the drop in shelter

provides laundry cards.

There are so many other

things that people may not

identify as needs such asrain ponchos, sunscreen,

deodorant, lip balm and lo-

tions.

“When you think about

it, if you are spending mostof your time outside, you

need sunscreen.”

It is also important that

during hot or cold weather,

people have access to the

centers heating/cooling sta-tion, just to be able to get

out of the elements.

Try to imagine living life

without a home to provideshelter and a safe place fortaking care of general health

and hygiene issues. Any

woman who has been

camping during her period

can understand the diffi-

culty of feminine hygieneissues without access to

running water and toilets.

Even the costs of hygiene

products can be prohibitive.

Meeting these kinds of basic human needs and re-

specting the dignity of the

homeless population is a

large part of what the drop

in center has to offer.The second part of the

mission is case manage-

ment. This is the opportu-

nity to work with clientsand understand their current

situation and how it is af-

fecting them. It also means

finding services that they

are eligible for and connect-ing them up with agenciesor organizations that can

meet these needs.

Things like providing a

legal address for people, so

they can send and receivecorrespondence and pay-

ments. They also have ac-

cess to telephones,

computers and a knowl-

edgeable clinical staff that

can not only listen to theirstory, but also connect them

up with other organizations

that can help.

“People say that they

should pull themselves upby their bootstraps, and

hard work, but that isn’t

enough anymore” points

out Bjornson. “Minimumwage jobs are often the

most physically exhausting,

but how do you get to the

next level? You are living in

poverty, how do you evenimagine that?Minimum wage jobs

used to be enough to make

ends meet, when someone

could get a room for $100 a

week but now it’s $600-$800 a month for a room in

Morris county. That isn’t

doable on a minimum wage

job.”

If someone gets sick,

then forget it. They willnever be able to catch up.

That is why education is

needed, so people can have

access to higher paying jobs

which would enable them toafford housing.

Some people may see a

homeless person with a cell

phone and think that if theycan’t afford housing they

shouldn’t have a cell phone.

Once again, if someone

imagines himself living

without safe housing, theneed for a cell phone be-comes instantly apparent. It

is also nearly impossible to

secure employment without

a phone number. The drop

in center provides chargingstations for cell phones as

well.

Family Promise is also

working with local health

care professionals to pro-

vide health care options.“People can use the ER

for their medical care,” says

Bjornson. “They have no

time for prevention; there is

no time for that, so it’s more

At the beginning of the year, a newrecycling policy allowed Verona

residents to recycle cardboard,

such as shipping boxes, and “chipboard,”from pizza, cake, and cereal boxes, along

with mixed paper, such as newspaper, junk

mail, and magazines, to be picked up at thecurbside.

In the past, this wasn’t allowed. The rea-

son being was that cardboard, as well as

chipboard, was more costly to the town be-

cause those items fill the garbage trucks

pretty quickly. And getting Verona residents

to bring those items to the Recycling Center

and in the correct marked boxes was a chal-

lenge.

But allowing those items to be placedout on the curb on recycling days is making

a difference. According to Jim Helb, Verona

Township Engineer, this new policy is

working out “pretty well.” Though they’vehad a few calls as to what to do with soiled

pizza boxes, which can’t be recycled.

Helb said, “They just got the recycling

schedule. That [the schedule] explains it

reactive.”

Helping people find avenues of care be-

fore there is a crisis can keep them out of

the ER.

When the center first opened in July, itwas having mostly clients picking up their

mail and leaving. About 10-15 people a day

dropped in, but didn't really take advantage

of the services being offered. Now, there are

between 25-45 people a day with about 125unduplicated clients a week, with many

people staying to use the center, and speak

with the staff and volunteers.

“The clinical staff is really helping peo-

ple,” reflects Bjornson.

The mission of Our Promise is not com-pletely set as Family Promise continues to

figure out what the actual needs are and

how to best address them. For 2016, the

center is considering the needs of people re-

leased from prison and hospitals, and con-

sidering how they can help these people

find their place in society.

The center is able to do all this throughthe use of government funding, and the

charity of various business, organizations

and individuals. They have trained staff on

site as well as the valuable donations of

their time by volunteers. They are currentlylooking for a volunteer to help at the drop

in center.

Anyone interested in getting involved ei-

ther as a volunteer or through donations can

contact Our Promise at 973-644-0100 or

[email protected] drop in center is located at The First

Baptist Church of Morristown and is open

Mon. thru Fri. 1 p.m.-4:30 p.m.

New Drop In Center...

Verona Residents Cooperate With New Recycling Programfurther; so as time goes on they’ll feel more

comfortable [with the schedule].”

The township of Verona is also changing

recycling procedures for electronics, such

as television sets and computers, whichhave been illegal to put on the curb since

2009. Instead the Township allowed resi-

dents to put electronic devices along the

fence at the Recycling Center during

days/times the center was open. That is nolonger acceptable. Instead, there are four set

periods during the year for electronics re-

cycling. The items can be brought to the

Public Works Garage which is around the

corner from the Recycling Center. The firstquarterly pick up, which was on Jan. 15 and

16, went very well, according to Helb.He said, “Most residents were very co-

operative,” adding that four quarterly pick-

ups per year is “pretty generous.”

Electronic waste will also be acceptedon April 15 and 16, July 15 and 16, and Oct.

14 and 15.

The new changes can appear to be over-

whelming, but there’s an easy way to han-

dle it – putting a free app called Remyndr

on your smartphone. The app was devel-

oped by Verona resident Tom Cherry and

two of his tech friends, to help residents re-

member recycling pick-up dates.

Remyndr notifications tell residents thepick-up type, what to include, and what to

avoid. Android and iPhone versions are

available. Simply type in the home address

and Remyndr automatically connects to the

pickup schedule. If things change, due to asnowstorm, those on the affected route will

be alerted. To find the app, visit

Rmynder.org.

Helb hasn’t been on the site, but he did

confirm that the app is helpful. He said thenew program is “less expensive and envi-

ronmentally friendly.”Verona residents who haven’t received

the new recycling brochure are welcome to

call the recycling office to obtain one. Or

the brochure can be downloaded fromwww.veronanj.org/PublicWorks.

at 973-857-4804 or visit

By Cheryl Conway

Ayear has come and gone since I

have taken the reins as editor of New View Media Group Newspa-

pers and what a positive journey it has been.

Being part of a company that has dou-

bled in size, from eight monthly papers to17, has been so exciting but the greatest 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 municipal governments andschool boards.

While every journalist craves that news

breaking story or that shocking incident forthat hard-nose reporter to capture all those

details whether gory or devastating, there is

nothing quite refreshing or satisfying than

covering a feel good 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 peoplewho have given their time, mind and spirit

to help others in need; who have goneabove and beyond in their endeavors or

jobs; who have put other people’s lives be-

fore theirs; or about events that bring joy to

the community or raise needed funds orsupplies for a particular 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 busi-nesses that continue to keep hard workers

employed while providing the best services

to customers.While New View Media Group is an un-

affiliated paper, meaning it remains untied

to any particular religion or political group,it upholds similar virtues and ethics like

being kind to others, helping thy neighbor,

giving tzedaka or charity, doing a mitzvah

or kind deed, volunteering time and sharing

generously and unselfishly with those inneed.

Looking back through the twelvemonths of 2015, so many stories of genuine

kindness fill my mind that it would bewrongful of me to not reminisce before

jumping in to share the positive moments

unfolding for 2016.

For Cedar Grove and Verona News read-ers, the stories that took center stage since

the first issue came out in April 2015, in-

cluded Verona elementary schools formed

a district-wide one-book reading initiative;

West Orange woman won big on Wheel of Fortune; Verona man rescued child slaves

from Ghana; NCJW set up shop for disad-

vantaged children in need of school sup-plies and clothes; a golf tournament is held

to raise money for children’s institute in

Verona and autism; Cedar Grove commu-nity held night of comedy to support seven

year old girl with rare medical condition;

13 year old Verona boy held campaign to

buy and collect warmer clothes for crossing

guards; a turkey trot was held at VeronaPark to raise funds to help find a cure for a

rare disease faced by a local six year oldgirl.

The positive stories are endless and con-tagious really. Shared each month to in-

spire, motivate, reflect and channel others

to get involved, donate, give back, partici-

pate or even just turn negative energy intoone 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 con-tribution of how you helped to make the

world a brighter place. There is nothing

wrong with shining and patting yourself onthe back for some well-deserved recogni-

tion.

Send your press releases and story ideas

to me at [email protected]. I look

forward to hearing from you in 2016…untilthen happy, healthy New Year to all readers.

have been members of the Garden

State Yacht Club, a member owned-

and operated- club, in Hopatcong, wherethey enjoy swimming, boating, tennis, din-

ing, dancing and more. While some mem-

bers live on the lake, the vast majority of

members come from nearby towns, includ-

ing Livingston, Rockaway and Roxbury

Townships.Located on the west shore of beautiful

Lake Hopatcong, The GSYC is a private

Garden State Yacht Club Enhances Recreation On Lake Hopatcong club for all ages, offering a range of outdoor

berships. While it hosts many events

Equity Members enjoy the whole com-

plement of club events and facilities, taking

full advantage of the club’s recreational and

A boat is not needed to be a member of the club. Members with boats are more

than happy to take others out on the lake.

The marina hours are unlimited, with ample

Soccer season will be kicking in

again soon and with that more cases

of kids getting hit with head injuriesdue to heading the ball, running into posts

or even another player.Measures have been taken by the

United States Soccer Federation to create

a policy to limit head balls by youth play-

ers. The new guidelines which may begin

in the fall of 2016 are expected to prohibit

players 10 years old and younger fromheading the ball. The regulations also aim

at reducing headers in practice for players

who are between the ages of 11 and 13.

Soccer organizations are not alone in

taking initiatives when it comes to con-cussion, whether it involves minimizing

or placing greater awareness on the im-

pact a concussion can have on an individ-

ual, especially if the brain is not allowed

enough time to rest.Dr. Catherine Mazzola, the director of

Pediatric Neurological Surgery at Morris-

town Medical Center and Dr. Richard Ser-

vatius at the Rutgers’ Stress and Moti-vated Behavior Institute (SMBI) are con-

ducting a study to understand how head

injury affects brain functions such as at-tention, learning and memory.

“Every year we see hundreds of kidswith traumatic brain injury (TBI),” says

Mazzola, who has been treating children

with TBI since 1995.

Several young patients have come in to

Mazzola’s care that were concussed fromheading a soccer ball or injured during the

game. Restricting head balls to younger

players may protect those young brains,

she agrees.

“I think that’s a good thing,” says Maz-

zola. “You only have one brain; it’s a goodidea to take care of that brain.”

The safety initiatives were brought on

as a resolution from a class-action lawsuit

filed by parents and players in 2014

against U.S. Soccer, FIFA and the Ameri-can Youth Soccer Organization regarding

negligence in treating and monitoring

head injuries sustained from playing soc-

Specialists Step Up Concussion Study As Players Ready To Hit Soccer Pitch Under New Head Rules

cer.

According to that case, nearly 50,000

high school soccer players sustained con-

cussions in 2010- more players than inbaseball, basketball, softball and

wrestling combined, according to a New

York Times article.

“That kind of contact with a ball can dodamage to the brain tissue,” says Mazzola,

and may only be apparent on a micro-

scopic level.

One of the main obstacles in dealing

with concussion is that doctors can not di-

agnose a concussion based on a catscan orMRI, says Mazzola. A person may have

no signs of a fracture or bleeding, but that

does not mean a child’s brain has not suf-

fered an injury.

Mazzola says more attention has beengiven on the issue of concussion than it

has in the past based on more studies on

the impact that concussion can have on a

person’s brain, especially when not given

enough time to heal or rest.

“We didn’t realize how much damage

is done when you have multiple concus-

sions,” says Mazzola. “We have more

awareness of long-term effects of concus-

sion.” A child with a concussion will al-most show signs of slow processing. After

time their cognitive performance will

function.

“We’ve realized how important anddamaging, how repetitive or mild, brain

damage is on the young brain,” she ex-

plains. “Mild brain injury can affect that

child’s cognitive long-term outcome. The

younger the child, the more vulnerable be-

cause the brain is not fully developedyet.”

Younger children who head a soccer

ball also have neck muscles not as strong

as older children and can therefore face

some whiplash, she adds.“The younger they are the more they

are at risk for injury,” says Mazzola, co-

founder of the New Jersey Concussion

Center.

With the implementation of the Im-continued on next page


9/12


PACT Test, a mini IQ test that can be

taken online to measure a person’s per-

formance in certain areas - such as visualmemory, auditory performance, accuracy

and speed of processing information- spe-cialists are more accurately able to realize

if a person’s brain is healed enough to re-

turn to an activity.

All high school athletes are required tocomplete an ImPACT test online, usually

before their season begins so if someone

gets a concussion while playing a school

sport they can retake the test and measure

any improvement over time. Players arenot supposed to return to play “until pre-

vious score is within 10 points from base-

line,” explains Mazzola.“It’s a timed test,” Mazzola explains.

“You can see sometimes that people have

a problem with visual learning,” or verbalskills, reaction time can be slower. Then

in two months, when they retake the test,

the individual may improve.

Five to ten percent of kids do not get

better after concussion, Mazzola says, andtherefore need cognitive remediation,

which requires them so seek a specialist

for monitored care. Students can experi-

ence learning problems after faced with aconcussion, especially if the brain is not

given enough time to heal.“There is a period of rest and rehabili-

tation for those with concussion,” says

Mazzola. That message needs to get out to

teachers, parents and coaches that theseindividuals need to be given adequate

time to rest.

“You have to give your body and brain

time to heal,” says Mazzola. “Coaches

would say ‘you just got dinged,’ but peo-ple are really realizing that even mild

brain injury is important. It’s just as im-

portant as having an ankle injury or arminjury.

“They may look alright but they may

not be acting alright,” she continues.“When in doubt sit them out,” and have

them be seen by a medical doctor or con-

cussion specialist. “If you have any ques-

tion, best thing is to pull them out and let

them rest no matter what you do.”Putting a child back in a game puts the

player at risk of having a “second impact

injury” which “can be lethal” in some

cases, says Mazzola.To measure when a child is ready to go

back into a game, players must completea Return To Play (RTP) protocol to make

sure their balance and coordination are up

to par; that they are cognitively perform-

ing well, brain is performing well; and tomake sure they are headache free, she

says.

Some students, however, do not play a

sport and may miss the opportunity of

having a baseline ImPACT Test con-ducted. Mazzola is offering this super-

vised timed test for free through her office

at the NJ Pediatric Neuroscience Institutefor any child who has had a concussion

within the past six months.

Testing began in July 2014 and will

continue through Nov. 2016. The ap-

proved study will then be used to deter-mine how quickly children recover from

concussion and how their response timeimproves after concussion.

Participants can also get a copy of their

test results to share evaluations with

teachers and coaches so they can under-stand if a child needs more time for brain

rest.

Anyone interested in participating in

the Rutgers Concussion Study and wants

a free ImPACT Test, should call Maz-zola’s office at 973-326-9000. The test is

being offered to youth between the ages

of 11 and 18.For more information on concussion,

F

or those who agree “it’s better to

give than receive,” there is an op-

portunity banging on the door of a

shelter organization that could help hun-dreds 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

Sisters, a grassroots, community based

non-profit, program serving homeless/bat-

tered women and children for more than

four decades. Faced with mortgage con-

flicts, 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

in North America- the organization

changed its name to Strengthen Our Sis-

ters (SOS) and grew to eight houses, two

day care centers, 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 organization is at risk of closing itsdoors to hundreds of women and children

with no other safe place to go.

“I don’t know what would happen to

these people,” says Sandra Ramos of

Ringwood, founder and executive director

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

mortgage people will be on the street. If

someone wants to be an angel and save

our mortgage that would be great.”

Ramos explains “if we had the $30,000

it would be the drop down money if some-one could give it.”

Rialto Capital Management Advisors

in Florida, 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 $30,000

every three months, which is directly ap-

plied to the principal, along with a

monthly payment of $7,000,” says

Ramos. “SOS has done this faithfully, al-

though it has been challenging.”

Ramos, a pioneer advocate for battered

women, started her first shelter in 1970 in

her 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,

so she put the word out that she wanted to

share her house. “The ones who came to

me 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. Herchildren 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 I

have 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 alreadyhere, the question is do you want them liv-

ing with pain, suffering and horror or do

you want them living with peace, dignity

and respect?’”

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 living together.

“I told the town ‘If you want a placefor them you have to drag them out kick-

ing 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, counsel-

ing,” 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

house located on a church’s property in

Bogota. About 10 to 15 women in chil-

dren 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

people started calling me. I let some peo-

ple stay 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 reg-

ulations 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

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” duringthe 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 individual empowerment.

She currently helps 155 women and

children 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 res-

idents to look for jobs, to court, doctor

appointments, social services, schools;

they fix things, watch children.

“They are exhausted but they believe

in the shelter,” says Ramos, just like shedoes.

“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 peo-

ple who no one else will take. We take

people without welfare vouchers. We

don’t want to see 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 chil-

dren, “who would be out in the street

forced to live 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

organization helps “don’t have families,”

are on section eight, have families orfriends “who don’t like them; who don’t

want to help them. We have a lot of dys-

functional families.”

Ramos explains, “I see them heal, get

strong and get the ir lives together. We live

in a violent society; there’s a lot of vio-

lence. The work I’m doing I feel it’s a

mission but right now I need an angel. I

just need someone to pay off the mortgage

or hold it. We just really need someone to

help.”
