Sheriff Candidate Plans To Listen And Create Partnerships
By Cheryl Conway
ith 32 years experience working
in law enforcement, Frelinghuysen resident
James Simonetti decided to
take off his police hat and try
for the sheriffs badge.
Simonetti, who is retiring
at the end of March as Roxbury Police chief, announced
in February his plans to run
for the next sheriff of Warren
County. He had worked
more than three decades with
the Roxbury Police Dept.,
and at 53 has decided to try
his hand in politics on the republican ticket.
In late fall of 2015, Si-
monetti was contacted by

Warren County Sheriff Dave
Gallant and learned that he
was planning on retiring as
sheriff. Acquaintances for
more than a dozen years,
Gallant thought Id be a
good fit for the Warren
County Sheriffs job.
Presented with such a
great career opportunity, Simonetti filed paperwork on
Jan. 4 with the New Jersey
Election Law Enforcement
Commission (NJELEC) to
seek the Republican nomination forWarrenCountySheriffin theJune 7, primary.
He formally announced
his plans to run at a cam-

paign kick-off fundraiser

held Sat., Feb, 27, at the Independence Fire House in
Great Meadows.More than
250 supporters attended the
event, with another 100 who
made contributions but could
not attend; raising more than
$20,000.
In addition to Simonetti,
speakers included Senator
Steve Oroho, Assemblyman
Parker Space, Assemblywoman Gail Phoebus, Freeholder Ed Smith, Sheriff
Gallant, and Jim Gannon, a
police officer who is running
Morris County sheriff.
Simonetti says Im honored to have been endorsed
by those who spoke at his
campaign event as well as
several mayors throughout
the county, freeholders, sheriffs and others who all came
out to support me.
Simonetti was inspired to
go into law enforcement
through a friend, a police officer he admired, Frank
Schomp.
I became a special officer, he says about the time
he started out with the Netcong Police Department at

the age of 18. Schomp gave
me guidance to get me
started in the police department. I was then hired.
In 1983, he became a patrolman in Greenwich Township, but left after a year to
start his career at the Roxbury Police Dept. as patrolman in Nov. 1984.
It was my calling to get
into law enforcement, he
says. It matches my personality. I like law enforcement
because I like helping people. Its not just about writing
tickets. I love to solve problems; I love to look into
problems.
Simonetti was promoted
to detective in 1988 assigned
to work in narcotics; detective sergeant in 1991; lieutenant in 1998; captain in
2010; and chief in 2011 for a
municipality with more than
23,000 people.
Im just an average citizen with strong credentials in
law enforcement, Simonetti
wrote in his campaign let-
ter. I never thought about

running for public office before.But ourcountys sheriff is retiring and, with my
experience, I feel that this is
how I can best serve the
place I call home.
Simonetti says, with 32
years of law enforcement experience, I bring a level of
fiscal responsibility that is
needed for the county of
Warren. I want to maintain a
level of service and working
relationships with freeholders in Warren Township.
I have a proven record of
budget responsibility, in controlling costs, in running a
police department. My experience as chief of police has
given me the ability to understand all of the responsibilities needed to run an
organization the size of the
Warren County Sheriffs Department.
If elected, Simonetti says
he hopes to improve on community policing and would
make himself accessible to
governing bodies and to public officials.
I will use a team approach, he says, and have

partnerships with local government; partner with fire
personnel, first aid personnel, local law enforcement to
achieve the best communication and service provided in
the county of Warren.
For example, a partnership between treatment centers and law enforcement
when it comes to housing
prisoners charged with
crimes dealing with chemical
dependency could reduce
costs to taxpayers.

Scholarship Offered For Future Caring Professional
he Hunterdon/Warren County Home Instead Senior

Care office owned by Tracy Fazzolari, plans to
award a scholarship to a public high school student
pursing education related to a caring profession. This
scholarship was established to honor caregivers who dedicate their lives to caring for seniors in their homes, while
aging in place.
Sheriff Candidate Plans...
continued from previous page

If the county can partner with a hospital and police, it can
get them treatment rather then sending them into a county facility or jail. The goal would be to send more to treatment and
less to jail in order to keep the inmate population down, he
explains.
He says obstacles of any new sheriff will be fiscal restraint regarding budgeting. You cant just purchase or start
new programs you cant fund.
Simonetti has been busy attending local government council meetings, board of education meetings, community development meetings so could learn more about the issues in the
towns.
My goal if elected sheriff is to listen, to hear what the
problems are and see if I can be part of the solution, he says.
The best thing I can do is listen. Its not about me; its about
the taxpayers; its about the community I will work for.
Applicants must attend a public high school in Hunterdon or Warren County. Scholarship will be awarded based
on the following qualifications: student who best exemplified qualities of compassion, commitment and caring, financial need, B average, letter of recommendation and
transcript.
Essay Question: How has a senior impacted your life?
I need to hear what issues are important to them, he says.

The heroin epidemic is affecting everyone. I would like to
tackle that first, adds Simonetti, a former narcotics officer
who maintains membership in the New Jersey Narcotics Officer Association.
Besides his campaign for sheriff, Simonetti looks forward
to helping his wife of 22 years, Kelly, operate a non-profitorganization called Antler Ridge Wildlife Sanctuary- a 120-acre
preserved farm inWarren Countythat provides care, with
dozens of volunteers, to more than 1,000 sick, injured or orphaned wildlife each year.
He also hopes to help fight against the heroin epidemic by
either volunteering or offering counseling; help educate others about law enforcement; and travel all over the country.

Church Needs Help To Pack 10,152 Meals To Help Stop Hunger
by Elsie Walker
unger is a pressing issue in the world today. According to statistics from the State of Food Insecurity in the World (http://www.stophun
gernow.org/world-aid/), One in nine people on our planet
go to bed hungry each night. Hunger kills more people
each year than AIDS, malaria, and tuberculosis combined.
How can the hungry be helped? Is it one meal at a time?
No, as one local church will say, it is 10,152 meals at a
time, but it needs community support to do it.
On April 3, from 10 a.m. noon, the Drakestown
United Methodist Church in Hackettstown plans to hold a
meal packing event with the assistance of Stop Hunger
Now. Stop Hunger Now is an international organization
that has been helping the hungry around the world since
1998. It does so through events such as the meal packing.
The church needs 40-80 volunteers to help package the
food and it needs donations to cover the cost of the meals
packaged. Volunteers can contact the church at 908-8524460; text the churchs pastor, Rev. Bob Mayer at 973-2715338; or email the church at dumc@drakestown
church.com.
Mayer said it costs 29 cents per meal. This means the
church needs to raise $2,944.08. Mayer said that it has already raised about $800. Those interested in donating can
bring donations to the event or send them to the church.
The meals contain rice, soy, dehydrated vegetables and

a packet containing 23 essential vitamins. They have a two
year shelf life, he said.
Members of the church were introduced to the project
at the annual conference of the United Methodist Church
of Greater New Jersey where they participated in packing
meals. Since the Drakestown Church is already helping
with hunger in the local community, it sought to take that
a step further by hosting a meal packaging event.
We decided to do this because no one should go hungry; that is why our food pantry is one of our main missions for our own local community. This [food packaging]
event allows us to work together as a community on a
hands on project. If this goes well we would be open to
doing it in the future. Children can attend and participate,
said Mayer.
One might wonder how 10,152 meals can be assembled
in two hours. Stop Hunger Now has a very organized system in place.
They have hubs across the country. Steve Reiss is
bringing the truck and supplies from their New York location. We will be unloading the truck and moving supplies
into [the churchs ] Friendship Hall beginning at 8 a.m.
There will be packing stations [set-up] at each table. We
fill the bins, scoop into meal bags, weigh them, seal them,
box them and load them onto pallets into the truck, said
Mayer.
The meals go to school feeding programs, orphanages
and crisis areas. Since it was established in 1998, Stop
Hunger Now has provided more than 200 million meals to
71 countries.
They distribute meals through feeding programs operated by partner organizations in developing countries that
promote education, encourage children to attend school,
improve students health and nutrition, address gender inequalities, stimulate economic growth, fight child labor,
and are part of the movement to address global issues,
explained Mayer.
After the event, Mayer said that communion will be celebrated in the hall and there will be free heroes and drinks
for everyone.
Mayer also said this is not the only new project at the
church that has to do with food.
On Wednesdays at 5:30 p.m. starting on April 13, the
church will have a Stone Soup Gathering in its Friendship
Hall.
Mayer explained that at Stoned Soup, community grows
as people share food and share their lives by cooking, eating, exploring scripture, singing, talking and praying together. It is free, but free will offerings will be accepted.
For more details, call the church at 908-852-4460.

This is based on the practices of the

early church and the childrens story called,
Stone Soup. A wandering soldier and a
village created a stone soup by everyone
putting something into the soup. Everyone
worked together and everyone was fed. Relationships were created around that meal.
This is the same way the early church
worshipped when they met in their homes
around a common meal.
What happens at the Stone Soup Gathering?
When you arrive at Stone Soup, you will
be invited to help by preparing the dinner
or setting the table. Working together unites
us as a community and brings us closer to
God. At Stone Soup, Community grows as
we share food and share our lives by cooking, eating, exploring Scripture, singing,
talking and praying together. This all takes

place around a common table where God
comes and meets us.
What do I bring? Is there a charge?
Theres no need to bring anything,
though if you feel inspired to pick up a
dessert or a bunch of flowers for the table,
well be happy to have them! Please know,
we do not serve alcohol at our meals, so no
wine please. The evening is free, but if you
would like to make an offering there will be
a basket in the kitchen for any free will offerings, but it is not required.
Everyone is invited to come and fellowship with us. Children of all ages are more
than welcome, and will be doted on and
adored by all. Theres room at our table for
children to wander and play, sing and talk,
as they feel comfortable.

rinity Church Lords Pantry food

ministry has served people for more
than 25 years, but never as many
people as in 2015.
Recently compiled and published statistics reveal that in 2015 the pantry served
four percent more people than in 2014. But
additional statistics reveal that there has
been a 75 percent increase in the number
of persons served since 2010. In 2015 the
total number of persons served was 15,531,
or 5,389 families. Families or individuals
may get food from the pantry once a
month.
The pantry is open four mornings a

Trinity Lords Pantry Food

Distribution Demand Grows
food distribution program, with a warehouse in Philipsburg. Every Thursday a

Trinity truck travels to Philipsburg to pick
up food. In 2015 a total of 210,373 pounds
of food was purchased there.
Commenting on the growth in demand,
Trinity Pastor Dr. Frank Fowler said, we
are pleased to be able to help people in
need, and yet sad that this need continues
to grow. Many recipients work one or two
jobs, but still have great difficulty financially providing for all their family needs.
And many Senior Citizens live on Social
Security and are in great need of assistance.
We are thankful for our many community
partners who help us fulfill this God directed mandate to serve others.
Persons interested in donating to the
pantry may send a check to the church
marked for the pantry or drop off food
Mon. through Thurs. from 9 a.m. to noon.

Rotary Hosts Stand Up Comedian
he Hackettstown Rotary Club

plans to host a benefit performance, an evening of Hysterical
Stand Up Comedy with Steve Solomon,
star and creator of the three-time award
winning Broadway hit My Mothers Italian, My Fathers Jewish & Im In Therapy!
Two shows are set for Sat., April 9, 2
p.m. and 8 p.m. Tickets are $35 purchased
in advance and $40 the day of the event.
Tickets can be purchased in advance with
cash or checks in Hackettstown at Mamas
& Caf Baci, Panther Valley Pharmacy,
Stella Gs, Hackettstown Floors and Good
Impressions in Washington; or purchased
online at www.HackettstownRotary.org.
The event is sponsored by Mamas.
Rotary club members are volunteers
who work locally, regionally, and internationally to combat hunger, improve health
and sanitation, provide education and job
training, promote peace, and eradicate
polio under the motto Service Above Self.
Solomon, a native of Brooklyn, grew
up in the multi-ethnic neighborhood of

Sheepshead Bay. This was the perfect
training ground for a dialectician and comedian. He learned at an early age how to
use his gift for imitating accents to his advantage. He also realized that he was a
prolific writer of jokes and stories; real
jokes. Steve was real life version of Gabe
Kaplans Welcome Back Kotter. Eventually, Steve became a Physics teacher
and a school administrator in Long Island,
NY. He left his academic career behind
and turned his attention to his latent love
of making people laugh.
As Solomon puts it, I decided to follow my heart and become an impoverished comedy writer and performer.
Steves show, the three-time award winning My Mothers Italian, My Fathers
Jewish and Im In Therapy has met with
rave reviews to sold out crowds throughout the country and overseas and became
one of the longest running one-man comedy shows in history.

that family caregivers might be reluctant to frequent public
places because of the behaviors that could be associated

According to Alzheimer s Disease International, the

grow to a staggering 75.6 million by 2030 and 135.5 million in 2050.

Mt. Olive Area Chamber Offers High School,

Community College Scholarships
tudents aspiring to work in business

can earn help from the Mt. Olive Area
Chamber of Commerce through its annual scholarship program.
Unlike most scholarship opportunities, not
only are high school students eligible for a
scholarship but so are students at two area
community colleges. The Mt. Olive chamber
has members predominately in Morris and
Warren counties.
In all, four area students, one each from
Mt. Olive High School, Hackettstown High
School, County College of Morris, and Warren County Community College, will receive
a $1,000 scholarship. Over the years the
Chamber has awarded thousands of dollars
in scholarship money to dozens of students.
Applicants in high school should be seniors seeking to pursue a degree in a business
field. College students should already be enrolled in a business-related program and are
continuing their education at the community
college level this coming fall.
The Mt. Olive Area Chamber of Commerce Scholarship Committee will be judging high school applicants in several areas.
The high school students must also complete
an essay along with an application form

available at their respective guidance counselor's offices. The application offers a
choice from three essay topics, which explore
future goals and how current activities and
studies relate to them.
College students are not required to do an
essay, but must fill out an application. All students will be judged on their coursework, extracurricular activities, volunteer efforts,
leadership, and honors and awards. College
recipients should be from the Greater Hackettstown and Mt. Olive areas.
The application deadline is April 15. Recipients will be notified in May. High school
students can get an application and more information from their respective guidance
counselors. College students from WCCC
can contact Samir Elbassiouny, WCCC
Foundation
executive
director,
at
Samir@warren.edu or 908- 835-2334; and
those from CCM can contact Katie Olsen,
director of Development Foundation at 973328-5058 or kolsen@ccm.edu Additionally,
the application forms are available on the
chamber website, www.mountolivechambernj.com.

in several townships without potable water.

And shelters are ready to take residents who
cant stay in their own houses.
Emergency management officials need
to communicate different messages to the
various areas that are facing different problems where to avoid, where to stay, where
to pick up drinking water and quickly, too.
Warren County has a new tool to deal
with situations like this and other emergencies that arise: the Swift911 system, which
will provide voice messages and eventually
text, web and social media alerts to area residents who sign up to receive them. County
public safety officials are urging residents to
register, at no charge, to receive the emergency alerts.
Were able to notify a great number of
people in an emergency using the system,
said Frank Wheatley, Warren County Public
Safety director and the county Emergency
Management coordinator.
Residents can sign up to receive emergency alerts by clicking on the Swift911
graphic found on the home page of Warren
County governments official website
atwww.co.warren.nj.us, and following the
links to register. Signing up also can be ac-
complished by texting the word

SWIFT911 to 99538 to receive the free
mobile app available for Android, Apple
(IOS) and Windows phones.
The app uses GPS location services, so
that if a user travels to an area where an
emergency alert is activated, the information
will go to that users cell phone, even if he
or she is not subscribed to that locations list.
The alerts will help to keep people out of
harms way, Wheatley said, and can divert
them from specific hazards, be it a chemical
spill, crime scene, flood or anything else that
occurs.
In addition to receiving alerts from Warren County, public safety officials are planning to enroll local police chiefs and
emergency management coordinators so
that they can send their own alerts.
Warren County again is on the cutting
edge of technological capabilities to enhance the safety of our citizens, said Freeholder Edward J. Smith. He noted the
installation of the system is a cooperative effort with the Merrill Creek Reservoir, which
is funding the majority of the project to satisfy their safety alert needs.

Good Shephards Annual Fundraiser To Honor

Two Distinguished Women
atherine Rust, general manager of

the Centenary Stage Company, will
be honored as this year's "Distinguished Friend of The House" at the House
of the Good Shepherd's Annual Wine &
Dine fundraiser on Thurs., April 7 I n Hackettstown.
In addition to Rust, longtime staff member, Christine Garofalo, will be honored for
her dedication, compassion and enthusiasm
as an ambassador for The House.
The event features many of the area's
finest restaurants offering tastings of their
superb culinary delights, a great selection
of wines and live music featuring the
Grover Kemble Trio. It all starts with a
cocktail hour at 5:30 p.m. followed by food,
music and a Silent Auction from 6:30 p.m.
to 8 p.m. All those in attendance will be entered into a drawing to win a $500 dining
out package.
Rusts partnership with The House goes
back several years. The House sponsors the
Summer Jam Concert Series, and Rust has
worked hard to keep The House involved in

all the great events at the theater. She also
works with numerous other local organizations that partner with the theater, and has
led the popular CSC Women Playwrights
Series for more than 20 years. Rust initiated and heads the CSC Advisory Board
and as its development director, she helps
to raise more than $100,000 for the not-forprofit theater each year through sponsorships, grants and individual donations.
Over the last 25 years, few people have
impacted The House of the Good Shepherd
like staff member Garofalo. She has served
the House and its residents in nearly every
capacity. More importantly, she has earned
the respect of her peers and won the hearts
of the residents along the way.
Garofalo began her career at The House
in 1990 working part time as a food services assistant. She eventually became full
time, and even earned her Food Service
Manager certification before moving to the
Activities department in 1994 where she

Moms Helping Moms Partners With Homeless Solutions Of Morristown
By Maryanne Christiano-Mistretta
oms Helping Moms Foundation,
Inc., a non-profit charitable organization has been helping families
who face financial distress help meet their babies basic needs.
Whether its providing access to essential
baby supplies or connecting moms with a variety of services to support them during pregnancy and the first three years of parenthood,
such as parenting support, child development
education, financial literacy, and health and
wellness.
When founded in 2011, the idea was that
no baby should have to go without lifes basic
needs.
Through partnerships with community organizations, schools, local government and
others, Moms Helping Moms has collected
and distributed tens of thousands of diapers,
clothing, formula, nursing supplies, and
countless other baby essentials to hundreds
of families in New Jersey.
President and Founder Bridget Cutler
started the organization by accident when
she began collecting excess baby things her
friends no longer needed. Cutler said, I had

a large network of friends with babies.
With an assortment of baby products
stored in her garage, Cutler began her organization. She said, Were like a food bank
with diapers and babies.
Six months ago Moms Helping Moms
paired with Homeless Solutions, Inc., in
Morristown, which began as Morris Shelter
Inc. in 1983, created as a private, not-forprofit, tax-exempt organization. It expanded
to Homeless Solutions, Inc. and provides
shelter for homeless men, women and families.
Homeless Solutions sends Moms Helping
Moms a wish list for women with children
ages three and under. Then Moms Helping
Moms is able to provide the organization

the gap of what food stamps dont cover.

Network. They were one of 29 national recipients of the inaugural Funds for Change
grant. Cutler plans to use the money to re-organize their space, allowing for more inventory storage and to streamline their
operational procedures.
Money is always the biggest challenge,
according to Cutler. She said, Were a nonprofit. Were new. We dont have experience
with grant writing. Most of the money is private donations. Weve gotten smaller grants
here and there. We dont have any full time
employees on staff. Its a constant work in
progress.
Time is another issue for Moms Helping

Students Help Keep Morris County Litter Free
By Jane Primerano
hildren who spend a few hours picking up litter on their school yard dont
ever think the same way about litter
again.
Liz Sweedy, Morris County Clean Communities coordinator, explained the benefit
from public school litter cleanups funded
through the Keep Morris County Litter Free
grants. The school must conduct a litter
cleanup on at least two acres of school property. The property may include ball fields and
wooded areas. The cleanup must be held between April 15 and June 6 with participation
of a minimum of 20 students with their adult

supervisors.
The students who do the cleanups are
pretty grossed out, Sweedy said.
The $500 grants may be used for outdoor
receptacles for recyclables or trash or indoor
receptacles for recyclables only, according to
the countys press release. These grants are
awarded after the school submits required paperwork to the Morris County Municipal
Utilities Authority.
The county press release quotes Freeholder Christine Myers, the freeholder liaison
to the MUA. This is a great opportunity to

younger. Cutler said, To find enough people
to volunteer has been tricky. I work two full
days per week. I have to get a sitter. We have
a lot of fantastic volunteers: a volunteer
bookkeeper, a volunteer coordinator; we
would love to be open all the time, but at this
time we dont have the funds to pay somebody full time.
Most of the operational work is done by
Cutler and Megan Deaton, who works as sec-
retary. On Jan. 29, they had their second annual Snow Ball fundraiser at Stone House at
Stirling Ridge in Warren.
Since their first diaper distribution in
2011, Moms Helping Moms has helped provide close to 100,000 diapers, as well as other
essential baby supplies, to hundreds of families in NJ.

reinforce how important it is for them to care

for their own environment and will show
how it also improves our communities and
our entire county.
A second part of the Litter Free program
is a poster contest for public school students
in grades six through 12, Sweedy explained.
The posters illustrate the ill effects of littering
and each school displays the posters drawn
by its students, she said. Each school chooses
the two considered best and submits them to
the county. The four county-wide winners
are duplicated on recycling containers with
the students names and the date of the contest. They are distributed to the schools of the
four winners.
They are heavy-duty metal containers
and they look gorgeous at the schools,
Sweedy said, adding each winning student
receives a $200 gift card.
Sweedy is hoping more schools participate this year. In 2015, 15 schools participated, but in 2014, 21 schools were part of
the contest.
During the cleanup portion of the Litter
Free initiative in 2015, 495 students and adult
supervisors cleaned up 148 acres and collected 45 bags of trash, 52 bags of recy-
clables, 66 pounds of scrap metal and 56

pounds of construction debris.
Not all litter is created equal, Sweedy concedes.
Litter dumped near the headwaters of the
Raritan River is damaging to birds and fish.
The Raritan Headwaters Association pulled
nearly two tons of objects, mostly plastic,
from the headwaters last year, Sweedy said.
Clean Communities works closely with the
RHA.
Tiny pieces of plastic, plastic ties and
similar things, get cut off and become brittle,
birds and fish ingest them, she said.
Clean Communities also works with the
Morris County Mosquito Control Department collecting tires.
Last year they collected 966 tires,
Sweedy said.
Some municipalities sell stickers for tire
disposal and the Parsippany Transfer Station
takes them on certain days. But the state tire
grant is no longer in place, so many county
residents dont have a convenient place to get
rid of them. Some tire dealers do take old
tires for a small fee, but not all do, she added.
Additional information on the grants is
available from Sweedy at 973-285-8393.

HHS Senior Gets Scholarship To Centenary
entenary College has recently announced the recipient of the Hackettstown High School student
scholarship for the fall semester of 2016
Christy Ackerman. The scholarship is one
of the ongoing partnerships between the institutions.
This scholarship is an excellent opportunity to acknowledge one Hackettstown
High School student each year who has excelled academically and has demonstrated
the qualities that this institution values,
says Dr. Barbara-Jayne Lewthwaite, president of Centenary College. Christy has
quite the impressive background, as she is
committed to giving back to the community
while still maintaining strong academic credentials. I am pleased that we could offer
her this coveted award.
This scholarship covers tuition for one
Hackettstown High School student during
his or her four-year stay.
Ackerman is no stranger to Centenary
College. Her brother, RJ Ackerman, is a
Centenary student. She spent four years
from the age of ten to 14 participating in
Centenary Stage Companys Young Performers Workshop. She has acted in performances such as Bye, Bye Birdie,
Jesus Christ Superstar and A Christmas
Carol. While she is a student here, she has
every intention to continue to perform and
wants to start an A Capella chorus on campus.
Ackerman plans to study business administration and minor in social media marketing. Her goal upon graduation is to
manage the social media marketing function for a small business and be an instru-
Ackerman currently works for Stryker

Airsoft in Hackettstown, in charge of social
media for the business. She hopes to continue in that function during her college career.
One of her accomplishments she is most
proud of during high school is being one of
the first members of Glamour Girls, a new
mental force in its growth. Social media

marketing is a new area of study that was
launched at Centenary this past fall.
This is like a dream come true for me,
says Ackerman. I am very focused on academics and am interested in studying Social Media Marketing. It is wonderful that
Centenary just started this program. The
environment is so welcoming. I am thrilled
to have been chosen for this honor and have
the opportunity to study the field that I am
so passionate about. I also want to thank
my family for being so supportive throughout my whole life. It would have been impossible to be able to accomplish what I
have without their dedication to my
growth.
organization at HHS that promotes community involvement by providing makeovers

for senior citizens.
She is also an active member of National
Honor Society and Tri-M Music Honor Society. These organizations allow her to participate in monthly food drives, charity
events and local fundraisers.

Specialists Step Up Concussion Study

As Players Ready To Hit Soccer Pitch Under New Head Rules
By Cheryl Conway
occer season will be kicking in again soon and with that
more cases of kids getting hit with head injuries due 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 players. The new guidelines which may begin in the fall of 2016
are expected to prohibit players 10 years old and younger
from heading 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 concussion, whether it involves minimizing
or placing greater awareness on the impact a concussion can
have on an individual, especially if the brain is not allowed
enough time to rest.
Dr. Catherine Mazzola, the director of Pediatric Neurological Surgery at Morristown Medical Center and Dr.
Richard Servatius at the Rutgers Stress and Motivated Behavior Institute (SMBI) are conducting a study to understand
how head injury affects brain functions such as attention,
learning and memory.
Every year we see hundreds of kids with traumatic brain
injury (TBI), says Mazzola, who has been treating children
with TBI since 1995.

Several young patients have come in to Mazzolas care

that were concussed from heading a soccer ball or injured
during the game. Restricting head balls to younger players
may protect those young brains, she agrees.
I think thats a good thing, says Mazzola. You only
have one brain; its a good idea 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 American Youth Soccer
Organization regarding negligence in treating and monitoring
head injuries sustained from playing soccer.
According to that case, nearly 50,000 high school soccer
players sustained concussions in 2010- more players than in
baseball, basketball, softball and wrestling combined, according to a New York Times article.
That kind of contact with a ball can do damage to the
brain tissue, says Mazzola, and may only be apparent on a
microscopic level.
One of the main obstacles in dealing with concussion is
that doctors can not diagnose a concussion based on a catscan
or MRI, says Mazzola. A person may have no signs of a fracture or bleeding, but that does not mean a childs brain has
not suffered an injury.
Mazzola says more attention has been given on the issue
of concussion than it has in the past based on more studies
on the impact that concussion can have on a persons brain,

especially when not given enough time to heal or rest.

We didnt realize how much damage is done when you
have multiple concussions, says Mazzola. We have more
awareness of long-term effects of concussion. A child with
a concussion will almost show signs of slow processing. After
time their cognitive performance will function.
Weve realized how important and damaging, how repetitive or mild, brain damage is on the young brain, she explains. Mild brain injury can affect that childs cognitive
long-term outcome. The younger the child, the more vulnerable because the brain is not fully developed yet.
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 ImPACT Test, a mini IQ
test that can be taken online to measure a persons performance in certain areas - such as visual memory, auditory performance, accuracy and speed of processing informationspecialists are more accurately able to realize if a persons
brain is healed enough to return to an activity.
All high school athletes are required to complete 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
are not supposed to return to play until previous score is within 10 points from baseline, explains Mazzola.
Its a timed test, Mazzola explains.
You can see sometimes that people have a
problem with visual learning, or verbal
skills, 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, and therefore
need cognitive remediation, which requires
them so seek a specialist for monitored care.
Students can experience learning problems
after faced with a concussion, especially if
the brain is not given enough time to heal.

There is a period of rest and rehabilitation for those with concussion, says Mazzola. That message needs to get out to
teachers, parents and coaches that these individuals 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 people are really realizing that even mild brain injury is
important. Its just as important as having an
ankle injury or arm injury.
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 concussion specialist.
If you have any question, 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 complete a
Return To Play (RTP) protocol to make sure
their balance and coordination are up to par;
that they are cognitively performing well,

brain is performing well; and to make 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 conducted. Mazzola
is offering this supervised timed test for free
through her office at the NJ Pediatric Neuroscience Institute for any child who has had a
concussion within the past six months.
Testing began in July 2014 and will continue through Nov. 2016. The approved study
will then be used to determine how quickly
children recover from concussion and how
their response time improves after concussion.
Participants can also get a copy of their
test results to share evaluations with teachers
and coaches so they can understand 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 Mazzolas office
at 973-326-9000. The test is being offered to
youth between the ages of 11 and 18.

United Way Offers Five Tips

For Tax Season
ith tax season underway, United

Way of Northern New Jersey is
providing five key tips to help
area residents avoid common filing errors
and scams. United Way, in conjunction with
local partners and the IRS, offers a free tax
preparation program for ALICE (Asset Limited, Income Constrained, Employed) and
poverty-level residents in Morris, Somerset,
Suburban Essex, Sussex and Warren counties.
We see many first-time clients who have
missed out on tax savings in previous years,
said United Way Manager Monica Conover.
These are simple, but costly mistakes that
are easily avoided once you know the facts.
For ways any household can save during
this tax season, consider the following tips
when meeting with a tax preparer.
1. Claiming medical expenses can result
in a tax break. Didnt save any paperwork?
Check with pharmacy, some will print out
statements listing yearly expenses.
2. Claiming a college-age child as a dependent might also result in a tax credit.
3. If a working high school or college student, file a return to possibly get a refund; but
parents should still claim child s a dependent
to take advantage of tax breaks.
4. Claim a relative if providing financial
support that covers more than 50 percent of
living expenses. For example, an out-of-state

parent financially being supported could
qualify.
5. Know how to spot scams. The IRS will
not initiate contact with taxpayers via phone,
text, email or social media. If taxes are owed,
the IRS will mail an official bill.
Area families living paycheck to paycheck can also access United Ways free tax
preparation program to avoid the high cost of
preparation fees. Residents can learn about
critical tax credits that can help boost returns.
The quality program provides returns prepared by IRS-certified volunteers, completed
state and federal returns; United Ways 100
percent free; refunds typically received
within two weeks
Each year, United Way partners with the
IRS, NORWESCAP, Greater Providence
Missionary Baptist Church and volunteers to
prepare and file free tax returns for financially-strapped families. Last year, United
Way volunteers filed 5,150 free tax returns
across the region. This free service saved
ALICE an estimated $1 million in tax preparation fees and helped put $5.6 million in refunds back into their wallets and the
community.

free, quality tax preparation program, visit:
www.UnitedWayNNJ.org/FreeTaxPrep.
Did You Know?
ccording to the American Lung Association, pet dander is composed

of tiny flecks of skin shed by cats,
dogs, rodents, birds and other animals with
fur or feathers. While pet dander is so small
its sometimes microscopic, it can still
cause reactions in people who are allergic
to pet dander. But skin is not the only potential allergen associated with pets. Pets
may cause allergic reactions in some people
thanks to various proteins found in the
saliva, urine and feces from cats, dogs and
other pets. Dried saliva containing allergens
may flake off from animal fur and enter the
air, where it can be inhaled by people and
trigger an allergic reaction. That might be
one reason why, according to the ALA,

nearly twice as many people report allergies
to cats compared to dogs. Cats often clean
themselves by licking their own fur. Any
dried saliva left on cats after these cleaning
sessions may contain allergens that eventually flake off of that fur before entering the
air and being inhaled by people who are allergic. While it might seem odd that a tiny
cat can trigger a reaction that causes such
significant discomfort, the amount of allergens necessary to trigger allergic reactions
varies greatly from individual to individual,
with some being capable of handling small
amounts and others experiencing reactions
almost instantly upon inhalation.

Local Blood Drives Offered
ew Jersey Blood Services plans to

conduct local blood drives which
are open to the public. The following drives are scheduled:
Mon., March 28, Knights of Columbus,
Netcong, 3 p.m. to 9 p.m.
Tues., March 29, Drew University Center Ehinger Center, Madison, 1 p.m. to 7
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 emergency. In addition, hundreds of additional blood drives
need to be scheduled to meet projected hospital demand. Current inventory of several
blood types is running below the desired target level.
Its 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 patients who
need us.
This is one of the toughest times of the
year, Cefarelli added. Were asking for
our dedicated supporters to roll up their
sleeves to make sure were able to provide
our hospital partners with whatever they
need to take care of their patients.
Blood products have a short shelf life
from five to 42 days, so constant replenishment 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
cant be manufactured. They can only come
from volunteer blood donors who take an
hour to attend a blood drive or visit a donor
center.

the company joined the No Roof Left Behind initiative as a way to give back to the
community that has brought them success
for more than 15 years.
Owner Jeff Alte Jr commented, We are

proud to be part of No Roof Left Behind.
Last year we witnessed the direct positive
impact this initiative has on members of the
community.
Other local businesses are invited to participate as sponsors or volunteers.
No Roof Left Behind is a great way to
rally the community together, said Alte.
There is something for everyone to play a
part. You dont have to swing a hammer or
even get dirty to help out. Whether looking
to donate services, products or time just
give us a call and well find a place for
you.
For more information, call 908-8508558 or visit www.AlteRoofing.com.
No Roof Left Behind is a nationwide
program that gives folks in the community
a way to help their good neighbors that
have fallen on hard times. The No Roof
Left Behind program provides a local contractor the framework to provide a new roof
at no cost to a deserving homeowner in
need.
Fair Trade Fair To Spotlight Products
he New Jersey Coalition Against

Human Trafficking and the National
Council of Jewish Women (NCJW),
West Morris Section, are co-sponsoring a
Fair Trade Fair on Sun., April 3, from 1:30
p.m. to 4 p.m., in the Davidson Room in the
Student Center at County College of Morris
in Randolph. The Fair, which is free and
open to the public, spotlights products that
are made by people paid a fair wage under
fair working conditions. More than 20 vendors will offer fair trade products.
Attendees will also learn all about how
human trafficking underlies many of the
goods on store shelves. Special guest
speaker Sarah Barasch-Hagans, a secondyear rabbinic intern from Truah: Rabbis
for Human Rights, will give an insightful
talk, titled The People Behind the Label.
Barasch-Hagans will point out how practicing fair trade and worker justice helps consumers to better love their neighbors and
care for the stranger. She will report from

the Florida tomato fields about the people
behind the Fair Food movement and how in
our purchasing and advocacy we can continue to stand with them.
Barasch-Hagans has been called a visionary Jewish leader for her work as one
of the founders of the BlackLivesMatter
Haggada. She is a third-year rabbinical student at the Reconstructionist Rabbinical
College, based in Philadelphia.
The NJ Coalition Against Human Trafficking was founded in 2011 to fight the
crime of human trafficking and help its victims throughout our state. The coalition
consists of over 100 diverse organizations,
including community groups, faith-based
groups, government agencies and service
providers. The coalition's current focus is
on educating youth in hopes of preventing
the spread of this heinous crime.

hen Cpl. Matt

Foster
left
Afghanistan
after his tour of duty in
2013, he didnt know
whether he would ever see
his K-9 partner again.
For nine months, Foster
and Sgt. Mick, a black
Labrador retriever, lived
and worked together keeping the military compound
at Camp Leatherneck and
the surrounding area in
Helmand Province safe
from explosive attack.
After being honorably
discharged from the Marine Corps, Foster did not
give up in his quest to
adopt Mick. The 7-yearold Lab had been discharged
for
medical
reasons, and Foster said he
lost count of the number of
adoption forms he sent attempting to be reunited
with his dog.
Ultimately,
Fosters
quest to reconnect with
Mick was successful, and
they are together again living in Colorado.
When I first got Mick
back, I was worried that I
might not be able to take
care of him, he recalled.
After what you go
through with your dog in
the service and then adopt
them
afterward,
you
wouldnt want to say goodbye to your partner because you couldnt afford
to take care of him.
Once military and police dogs retire, with no
guaranteed pension for
their medical care, the burden and cost of care often
fall solely on their caregivers. Now an advocate
for military dog adoption,
Foster has joined The Sage
K-9s In Service: Supporting Those Who Served
Foundation for Dogs Who

Serve and the RIMADYL
K-9 Courage program to
help other retired military
dogs and handlers.
The RIMADYL K-9
Courage Program is a charitable healthcare donation
program that, together with
The Sage Foundation and
National Police Dog Foundation, provides financial
and in-kind product donations of $150,000 annually
to support the veterinary
needs for up to 500 retired
police and military K-9s.
Officer without a pension
Despite being considered an officer of his
countys sheriffs office,
Dano is another retired
working dog whose veterinary needs and expenses
will mount after retirement.
Dano is an extraordinary dog, said Senior
Deputy Sheriff Danielle
Delpit of her K-9 partner.
Hes been injured, tazed
and involved in two critical incidents.
Recently, Delpit noticed
that Dano, now 7 1/2 years
old, was slowing down and
she reluctantly decided it
was time for him to retire.
After Danos retirement, it
became Delpits responsibility to care for him.
While on active duty,
Danos veterinary care was
covered. But now that he is
retired, it is up to me, she
explained. Dano has injuries; he has a bad back
and I know he will eventually have arthritis. The RIMADYL K-9 Courage
Program will give me
peace of mind to know Ill
have help to give him the
healthcare he deserves.
Cpl. Matt Foster and K-9 partner Sgt. Mick
K-9s in service
An estimated 1,775 military dogs are actively
working to protect military
personnel. Each dog saves
as many as 150-200 service men and women by detecting explosives and
hidden weapons caches.
The Sage Foundation
for Dogs Who Serve
(www.sagefoundationfordogs.org) works to promote the welfare of dogs
who have faithfully served
in wars, police work, crime
prevention and rescue.
Their work includes education and public awareness, as well as making
medical care available for
these hero dogs.
Law enforcement dogs
are used at the local,
county, state and federal
levels, and are considered
full-fledged police officers. Unlike their human
counterparts,
however,
these officers do not receive a pension.
With a mission of making K-9 teams missionready and self-sustaining,
the National Police Dog
Foundation (www.nationalpolicedogfoundation.or)
provides funding for the
purchase, training and

medical needs for police
dogs through retirement.

he Morris County Prosecutors Office,

Daytop New Jersey and the Rockaway
Township Substance Abuse Alliance
plans to hold the Morris County Heroin
Summit of 2016 this spring in Rockaway
Township.
A variety of stakeholders will talk about
the drug that is overwhelming police, rescue
and medical teams across the state and nation
at the forum, which is set for Tues., April 26,
at Christ Church.
Criminal Justice must take a dynamic approach to this heroin and opiate problem,
said Morris County Prosecutor Fredric
Knapp, who will be one of the featured panelists at the Heroin Summit. The problem
cannot be solved simply with the prison system. While we will vigorously prosecute
profit-based drug dealers, we will also prioritize treatment for the addicted drug users.
It is essential that we, as a community,
become informed about this epidemic and
that law enforcement, the medical community, addiction treatment professionals and
the community at large discuss this problem
and work on solutions to enhance prevention
and encourage drug treatment for the addicted, Knapp added.
Morris County law enforcement officials
Heroin Summit To Be Held This Spring

contend that we are in the midst of a heroin
and opiate epidemic, with no state hit harder
than New Jersey. Overdose deaths are now
the leading cause of accidental death, with
more Americans dying every year from overdoses than they do from motor vehicle
crashes.
Addiction to prescription opioid
painkillers is the primary factor that is fueling
heroin addiction.
Healthcare professionals continue to write
250 million opioid painkiller prescriptions
each year. The availability and misuse of prescription opioids combined with the low cost,
potent heroin that has become easily accessible, is driving an increased demand for and
use of heroin and ultimately claiming the
lives of thousands of Americans.
Admission into New Jersey licensed substance abuse facilities has increased dramatically. More people are seeking treatment for
addiction than there are available slots at
treatment facilities. Neighborhoods also are
plagued with burglaries, thefts and violent
crimes as heroin addicts, driven by their addiction, commit these offenses to feed their
habit. Morris County is not immune from
these staggering statistics.
Heroin can be purchased cheaply and with
relative ease in Morris County, according to

Prosecutor Knapp. In short, its inexpensive,
available and, unfortunately, very deadly, as
evidenced by the 43 people who died from a
heroin or opiate overdose in Morris County
in 2015.
This conference is a very positive step towards dealing with such a negative substance
that is especially plaguing our young people,
and also hurting their families and communities, sad Morris County Freeholder Director Kathy DeFillippo. Its vital that we attack
this here in Morris County with facts, knowledge and public awareness.
While admission to the event is free, registration is required. To register, email heroinsummit@rtsaa.org or call 973-627-2465
ext. 434.
Holocaust Survivor To Tell Her Story
he National Council of Jewish

Women (NCJW), West Morris Section, plans to sponsor a special talk
by Ruth Ravina, a survivor of the Holocaust, at a guided, docent-led tour of the
Women in the Holocaust photo exhibit at
the JCC on Route 10 East in Whippany. The
event is set to take place at 7 p.m., on Tues.,
April 26.
NCJW, West Morris Section is inviting
sixth-graders and their teachers from all
Morris County public, private and parochial
schools to attend this talk and tour of the
exhibit.
Ravina owes her life to both Jewish and
non-Jewish rescuers. Before she got to the
concentration camp where her mother and

cousin were transported, Ravina was saved
by three young girls who escaped from a
ghetto when they learned it would be liquidated. A toddler at the time, Ruth was then
rescued by a Polish family.
The National Council of Jewish Women
(NCJW) is a grassroots organization of volunteers and advocates who turn progressive
ideals into action. Inspired by Jewish values, NCJW strives for social justice by improving the quality of life for women,
children, and families and by safeguarding
individual rights and freedoms. For further
