Pasties Baked With Love


To Support Church And Tradition

By Elsie Walker
uckets of onions to
peel, slice, and dice,
bags of potatoes to
peel and eye, dough to roll,
and what at times seems like
a million other things to do,
keep those at the Port Morris
United
Methodist
Church busy.
Thats the scene at
pasties time at the church in
Landing. Making and selling pasties (pronounced
pass-tees) has been a tradition at the church for well
over three decades. During
those years, not only have
generations of members
helped to make them, but
also friends.
It is a
fundraiser that keeps the
churchs doors open. The
recipe is top secret, but
every one of them is baked
with love.
Pasties are said to be of
Cornish origin. A pastry is
meat, onions, and potatoes
wrapped in a crust. Thats
all that can be shared. How-

Trays of pasties fresh out of the oven cool before being wrapped.

ever, while the basic recipe


has always been followed, a
few things have changed
over the years.
Weve gone from patties to ground round beef
and have added a sausage
pasty, said Rosemary
Boyer of Landing who coordinates the pasties effort.
With pride, Boyer will say
they use the best ingredients. She noted that beef
pasties sell for $7 each and

sausage for $7.50 each. The


next pasties sale is in May
with May 8 being the last
day to order. Orders are
taken at 973-945-1043.
The origin of the pasties
at the church is debated.
While members may dicker
over exactly which pastor
introduced the church to
pasties, they will agree that
is was during a time when
the church needed a
fundraiser to keep it afloat.

However, they may not have


imagined that it would carry
on for so long, with some
jobs being passed down
from one generation to another.
Landing resident Beverly
Highfield said she believes
her mom and dad, Emma
and William Williver, Sr.,
did the flour donation and
preparation from the beginning. Later, she joined them.

continued from front page


Highfield said, I did help them with the measuring and
sifting preparation for a long time and I took over completely once dad passed away; mom was 80 by then. Port
Morris United Methodist Church is a very small church so
each of us does whatever we can to insure it is here for the
community. I just do my part.
Echoing Highfields sentiments is Karen Ripatrazone of
Landing. She has been helping since about 1980 and remembers having her son Michael, then an infant, in a
playpen watching everyone work. Ripatrazone said, Ive
done a little of everything [needed to make pasties]. I do
whatever is needed.
Ripatrazones mother, Rosemary Boyer, has seen the
next generation stepping up as her grandsons help her husband, Rich Boyer, Sr., when he goes for supplies by doing
the lugging, lifting, and loading.
But not only do members help, but also friends lend a
hand, too. Most notable is Malcolm Todt of Connecticut.
The brother-in-law of a retired pastor who had served at the
church, Todt comes to help and brings doughnuts to the
workers.
However, not only are there loyal volunteers, but loyal
customers, too.
One such customer is Bette Jaegar of Stanhope who said,
they're delicious, I even buy [some] to take out to my
sons in Pennsylvania. who also enjoy them. [Theyre] good

Pasties Baked With Love...

to have in freezer for those cold nights that I don't feel like
cooking- very filling.
Amanda Rush, and her mother Marion Rush, of Netcong
have been buying pasties for many years. Amanda Rush
said, We love them. My Mom puts maple syrup on them,
me just a little margarine and salt. There's always enough
for two dinners as we split them in half and have one the
night we purchase the pasties and eat the other another
night. When you go through Port Morris you can smell the
onions cooking on Pasties Day, and it makes my stomach
hungry. Kudos to those who make them. It's a lot of work,
but a worthwhile fundraiser for the church.
Boyer echoed those sentiments in reflecting on the work
it takes her to not only coordinate making the pasties, but
in taking the orders. She said, I will do them until I cant
do them anymore. If the church closes its doors, Ill have
done all I could by doing the pasties.
Making pasties is a three day process that flows like a
well-oiled machine. Theres onion day, potato day, and final
preparation and pick-up day with other chores mixed in.
The volunteers work hard, but theres pride and smiles in
that work.
The churchs pastor, Nick Petrov, who helps prepare the
potatoes, said, Here in the Port Morris area, we are famous
for our pasties, which we bake on-site and sell four or five
times a year. Proceeds from pasty sales benefit ministries

and missions of the church. If youve never tried our homemade pasties, you definitely want to get an order in. In addition to raising funds, the church pasties preparation is a
social event. Despite the long hours of work, participants
speak of these activities both as enjoyable and as an effective way to give your time as a service to the church and the
larger community.
Here I would like to publically say a big thank you to
every one of our church family members and friends for all
the love and support they give to our Pasties Days, concluded Petrov. Each one of you is an important part and
your efforts help to keep our church financially stable and
well equipped for mission and service.

Baskets With Eggs And A Bunny Fill The Fun At 28th Annual Easter Egg Hunt

By Elsie Walker
here was a chill in the
air, but that did not
deter the children and
parents as they walked down
Main Street in Landing.
Watching their children
swinging baskets and buckets, while following a large
white bunny, many parents
could remember the days
when they did the parade to
the eggs.
A 28 year old tradition,
the hunt is now seeing its
second generation of hunters
as well as welcoming new
ones. Not only that, but it
has grown from an egg hunt
to an afternoon of egg hunting, games, puppet show,
and piata break. This year,
the event, sponsored by the
Port
Morris
United
Methodist Church, was held
on March 19.
All 28 years, the Easter
Bunny has never changed.

drove two hours to attend this years event


with her children Tony, age three and Madison, age 10 months. Notari hunted eggs as a
child and was a helper at the event starting as
a teen.
I have been doing the egg hunt since I
was at least 10 years old, maybe longer, said
Notari. In that time frame of 22 years, I only
missed two years. My grandmother, who

passed away this year, was the reason I got


into it. By making sure my children are there,
for me, is keeping a piece of her alive and that
means the world to me. I will try to be there
every year, if I can, until it is no longer a program at the Port Morris United Methodist
Church.
While it started as just an egg hunt and

The same bunny who was


there for some parents when
they were children, is now
there for the next generation.
Ive had parents come
up to me and tell me that they
brought their children to the

event because they want


them to meet their Easter
Bunny, said the Bunny.
For many families, the
hunt is an important tradition. For example, Jessica

28th Annual Easter Egg Hunt...

continued from previous page


piata breaking, the annual event took on a
few new dimensions once puppeteer and
church member Miss Tina Berchak, of
Stanhope, started putting on programs. As the
audience settles in for the puppet show, it
gives the bunny a chance for some last
minute prepping and to make an entrance.
Also, Berchak added the element of games
which the children return to after picking up
eggs.
Jenn and Ron Kasilag of Hopatcong
brought their four year old son, Daniel to this
years hunt.
We have attended in previous years and
have enjoyed ourselves, said Jenn Kaislig.
This year, Daniel had a great time participating in the many indoor activities such as
plastic puddle fishing and the all-time favorite, the piata. Miss Tinas puppet show
was also a highlight this year with one of the
children, Antonio, assisting, which was absolutely adorable. Then of course, the exciting, much anticipated visit from our fluffy,
friendly Easter Bunny who led us all on a
march down Main Street. On our march we
were able to greet some longtime neighbors.
Then, after the march and the egg hunt,
where the children filled their baskets with

goody-filled eggs, the Easter Bunny was


available for photos with the children. It was
such a delight to see all of the children familiar and new alike, enjoying such a joyful
day.
A highlight of this years event was the
picture corner. There, children could don
bunny ears, a bunny nose, or other accessory
and pose for a picture with the Easter Bunny.
That newest addition joined other popular activities such as egg rolling races, jelly bean
guess, and face painting. All the children left
with the eggs theyd found, candy from the
piata, plus a balloon and goodie bag.
The pastor of Port Morris United
Methodist Church, Nick Petrov said, I am
so thankful that each year, the Port Morris
congregation sponsors the Easter Egg Hunt
for the children of the community. The
Easter Egg Hunt is a very important tradition
for Port Morris UMC. We try to serve the
community in a number of ways. Through
the Easter Egg Hunt, we hope that kids and
parents will see the Christian love we strive
to have here. I believe these types of funfilled, family- friendly events are important
if the Christian church wants to present
Jesuss love to neighborhoods and communities.

Roxbury Man Leads Hometown Police Department With Honor And Pride

By Cheryl Conway
e is the new police
chief in town, but
Roxbury is far from
new to the lifelong resident
who locals recognize as a
great neighbor, family man,
friend, coach and school
alumni.
Marc Palanchi, 49, of
Succasunna is honored to
have been selected to serve
as the townships new chief
of police. Offered the job
March 17 out of three lieutenants considered, Palanchi
officially began his new role
March 31, when James Simonetti officially retired as
police chief since 2011.
The Roxbury Township
Council held a public swearing in ceremony for Palanchi
and other officers April 5.
After serving 22 years on the
force, Palanchi moves onto
his next role with great expe-

rience, knowledge and confidence to continue to provide the best service to his
hometown community.
It was an honor, says
Palanchi to be chosen to lead
the police department. This
is an awesome responsibility. You are being entrusted
with the well-being of an entire township; to protect
those people; serve those
people. Roxbury Township
is a tremendous community.
The people in the community support each other.
Recently retired Roxbury
Police Chief James Simonetti says, I have had the opportunity to see Chief
Palanchi grow as a leader of
the Roxbury Police Department. He is a driven leader
who will do what is best for
Roxbury Township. I also
know Chief Palanchi on a
personal level too and his is

a great family man. What is


best about Marc is that if you
know him, he is not just a police officer. He is friend,
great teammate, and a personable man.
Besides living in Mt. Arlington for three years, Independence for one year and
time spent in Pennsylvania
during his college years,
Palanchi has lived in Succasunna most of his life. A
1985 graduate of Roxbury
High School, Palanchi went
onto to Wilkes University of
Pa. to get his bachelors in
political science in 1990.
After college, Palanchi
worked for management at
Madison Square Garden in
NYC for two years, a position he enjoyed minus the
commute. His desire was to
get into law enforcement, a
dream he had since he was a
child, but policing was

frozen when I got out of college, he says. It was a dead


period, from 1990-1993.
When Florio was governor,
our economy was terrible
and our economy froze. No
one was hiring for so long.
As the economy improved, Palanchi tested with
the state police at the end of
1993, and then in May 1994
with the Roxbury PD. Out of
398 people who took the
written test he was the only
one hired.
The competition is so
great, he says, about getting
into a police department. Between a written test, background check, physical and
interview, getting hired as a
police officer is not easy.
Palanchi entered the police academy and on Aug. 1,
1994 he started his career
with the Roxbury police as a
patrolman. In 1997, he got

moved to traffic; to sergeant


in 2002; back to traffic in
2004; and promoted to lieutenant in 2010, a position he
held until being named chief.
From 1995 to 2013,
Palanchi served on the Roxbury SWAT team, until that
became a shared service, MC
Swat. He is also on SERT,
Sheriff Emergency Response
Team.
Having family involved
in law enforcement, his role
model was his older cousin
Harry Brady who worked for
the DEA, and knowing a lot
of police officers growing
up, Palanchi says he knew
early his top career choice.
I had friends who were
state troopers; who were
Roxbury officers. They all
really loved their jobs.
Im not an inside desk
person, adds Palanchi. I
saw myself more out and

doing hands-on-stuff, rather


than selling or being behind
a desk. With police work,
you are out and about and
its constantly changing. Its
the unknown; every shift is
different. Someone is going
to call; you are going to go
from one thing to another
thing.
Another factor in his career decision he says is that
I like to help people.

when theres a pipe break; why not call a
plumber? We will give them suggestions. Its
still help and they needed you.
It was in 1995, when Palanchi was there
for an infant who was not breathing.
I happened to be right in front of her
house when the 911 call came in, says
Palanchi about his most significant moment
in his career. An infant on Hercules Road
stopped breathing. When I got there she was
blue. I initiated CPR; when other guys
showed up, as a team, we saved her.
Palanchi has stayed in touch with this victim, Jaime Katzenberger, all these years.
To be part of that 19 years ago, I was the
first one there. She played sports with my
kids; we are like family. When you save an

infants life, you keep in touch with her. A


2015 graduate of RHS, Katzenberger played
for the schools soccer and basketball teams
and currently attends UConn as a freshman.
Having worked under two great police
chiefs during his 22 years at Roxbury PD,
Palanchi knew he wanted to be chief someday. He worked under former chief Mark
Noll for 17 years and Simonetti for more than
four years.
To have that opportunity is an honor to
follow guys like that, says Palanchi: to continue what theyve established.
As the new chief, Palanchi plans to do just
that. He did not go in with the mindset for
change, he stresses.
A lot of chiefs takeover in a bad regime,
says Palanchi. That wasnt the case here; its
really good here. I want to continue what
theyve done.
Theres not a lot of changes that need to
be made here, he adds. Its continuing the
tradition of what weve had here. Great work
environment, great police officers. Weve
hired really good officers here. We have 42
really, really good police officers here and re-

ally good people in the community working


for them.
With the last two chiefs direction, weve
been on the front end of all the curves, he
says. Those guys had great vision. Theyve
always been good at anticipating.
Palanchi says he wants to continue to be
proactive, to look out into the horizon to

see whats coming; to have that foresight.


With trauma kits recently given to each
school in the district thanks to Simonettis efforts, Roxbury is the first school district with
these kits ready for any unforeseen situations.
We saw it as an opportunity to be proactive, says Palanchi. We dont want to wait

Hometown Police Depart...

continued from page 12


for someone to lose a limb; dont wait for it
to happen; be prepared for it.
Continuing with community policing and
relations is important, says Palanchi. Weve
had community service, with police walking
through schools in the younger grades. They
spend time with kids in a relaxed environment. The kids humanize with the police.
The food drive with the schools invited
students to the police station for a tour. It
built relations, exposing kids to the police.
While his goal is to continue what has
been in place, Palanchis challenge is how
do we stay on top of things; how do we get
better? We have an awesome mayor, town
council and administrator who make things
easy on the police. We have a mayor and
council who let us run our police department.
One of his greatest issues is the traffic
congestion in town. Theres too many people and not enough road, says Palanchi.
With all the development west of Roxbury,
those people work east of us, and come
through Roxbury- whether on routes 10, 46,

80 or 206- to commute, eat and shop.


You can improve intersections, he says,
but in the end you have roads not meant for
the volume of the cars. Keeping traffic moving safely is a big challenge.
Another issue is the bad economy, says
Palanchi, which leads to a lot of police
dealing with shoplifting, burglaries, drug use,
domestic violence issues, mostly created
from stress from more people out of work not
able to pay bills.
During a bad economy You have people
doing things they normally wouldnt be
doing, he says. You are dealing with people
that you normally dont deal with.
While Roxbury has some challenges, like
all towns do, there is no other place Palanchi
would want to live, work and raise a family.
Roxbury has everything you could want
growing up, says Palanchi. We have a fantastic school system, where his wife, Kristin
teaches, and their four kids attend school.
Recreation programs are second to none.
Services from garbage, parks, Horseshoe
Lake; if you want to shop you have everything.

Besides all that, theres really good people in Roxbury; its a really good town to live
in; to have kids in; to have friends in. You
have the total package here. The teachers
have been fantastic. Even coaches, they genuinely care about those kids. Theres not
much more you can ask for than what you

have in Roxbury. You are surrounded by


good people; it makes everything better.
Outside of his police work, Palanchis
been a wrestling coach at RHS for nine years,
where he too wrestled back in his day, and
continues to coach youth lacrosse for his third
son, as he did for his older sons.

Trauma Kits At Hand At All Roxbury Schools


them as a prank, in the same way the
portable defibrillators are alarmed.
Were waiting for the cabinets, he
said.
He said the kits are small, just a 10 cube
but they contain equipment to help staunch
severe bleeding and for burns, eye injuries
and other serious trauma.
We hope we never have to use them,

By Jane Primerano
oxbury Township School personnel
are preparing locations for new
trauma kits donated to the school by
recently retired Police Chief James Simonetti and the Roxbury Rotary Club.
The 24 units are more sophisticated than
a simple first aid kit, High School Principal
Jeffrey Swanson said in a telephone interview.

In spite of their complexity, they are


very user friendly, he said. There are instructions on each piece of equipment, with
illustrations. They come with training
videos we will show the staff and some of
the kids.
Swanson said the units at the school will
be installed where people congregate, such
as the cafeteria. The cabinets will be
alarmed to discourage someone opening

Swanson said, but he is glad to have them


in case of an accident in the wood or metal
shop, chemistry lab, cafeteria or with someone doing maintenance on the building.
Swanson noted the kits would come in
handy in a situation involving a perpetrator
of some sort, but were not training specifically for that, since accidents are more

Trauma Kits At Hand...

common. He also pointed out the high


school is used very often for evening meetings and for events involving scouts and
other youth groups. He noted someone injured in a car accident in one of the parking
lots or on a nearby road could also be
helped by the proximity of the kits.
A number of teachers and a few students
have advanced first aid or EMT training,
Swanson said. Of course, coaches, the
school nurse and the school trainer have advanced training, he noted. Superintendent
of Schools Laura Radulic said one student
has had experience with the kits and
reached out to her as soon as he heard about
them.
Trauma kits were donated to all seven
public schools: the high school, Eisenhower
Middles School, Lincoln-Roosevelt,
Franklin, Jefferson, Kennedy and Nixon,

and the area private schools including the


American Christian School and St.
Thereses, both in Succasunna. The donation was made on Fri., March 25 at Roxbury High School.
The cost was $7,000 for 24 kits. Some
funding was provided by individual businesses, including Kodak Jewelers and Signarama, according to Steve Alford,
president of the Roxbury Rotary Club. The
donations from the Rotary Club helped put
kits in the township library and the recreation department building at Horseshoe
Lake as well, Swanson said.
Radulic said her district is the first in the
country to have these trauma kits.
They are made by Griffin Logistics in
Anderson, S.C. Simonetti was working on

Presidents dangerous nuclear deal with Iran.


Lance was raised in Hunterdon County, where he attended public schools. He holds a bachelors degree from
Lehigh University; a law degree from Vanderbilt University; and a masters degree from the Woodrow Wilson
School of Public and International Affairs of Princeton University.
Prior to coming to Congress, Lance served as a member
of the NJ State Senate where he took on Gov. Whitman
over borrowing without voter approval. He is the author
of the 2008 Lance Amendment that prohibits further state
borrowing without voter approval.
Lance is married to Heidi A. Rohrbach and they have a
son, Peter Frank.

recognized and honored for their bravery by the 200 Club,


an organization of individuals that support public safety
professionals. Firefighters, police and emergency medical
providers risked their lives in 11 incidents involving fires,
car accidents, gas-filled homes and other emergencies in
Morris County towns.
First responders who put their lives at risk earn the Valor
Award; those who go beyond the call of duty are awarded
the Meritorious Award.
Were very lucky to have individuals like these keeping
us safe here in Morris County, said James M. Gannon,
president of the 200 Club, in a press release. Its an honor
to recognize their good work.
When citizens are in Morris County running away from
crime, these first responders are running toward the fire,
says Gannon during an interview with New View Media
Group. Its time to put them on a pedal stool and say
thanks for what they are doing.
Each recipient will be recognized, receive a plaque and
a 200 Club Bar to wear below their badge on their uniform,
explains Gannon, a member for the past eight years.
With 37 different police departments in Morris County,
submissions can be numerous. A review committee of the
200 Club meets to determine who is worthy of a valor
award or meritorious award.
People selected are the cream of the crop, says Gannon of Boonton Twp. The Morris County Chiefs Association, Medical Service Alliance and State Police provide
candidates to the 200 Club for consideration.
The 200 Club of Morris County was formed in 1971 by
a group of 19 concerned business and political leaders; the
group doubled by the end of the year and today involves
more than 1,100 members. The Morris County club was an
outgrowth of the Essex County Club, which was the first
200 Club in NJ that began in 1967.
Each member pays $200 in annual dues, thus, the 200
designation.
The first 200 Club developed in 1952 in response to the
fatal shooting of Arthur Meyers, a Detroit, Michigan police
officer, according to the club website. Following the shooting, a local businessman, William Packer, asked his friends
to donate to a fund in memory of the fallen officer and met
with the officers widow to support her finances and setup
an education account for their unborn child.
Since that time, 118 of these clubs have been established
in 28 states with additional clubs in Puerto Rico and Central
America. There are currently 18, 200 Clubs in NJ.
A non-profit, 501c3 organization, the 200 Club of Morris County supports local police officers, fire fighters, first
aid squad members, and NJ state police serving Morris
County who die in the line of duty.
When a public safety official loses their life in the line
of duty, the Action Committee of The 200 Club of Morris
County reaches out to the widow to offer emotional support
and financial assistance in the form of a death benefit to

help manage the financial burden during this difficult time.


The current benefit is $30,000.
The 200 Club of Morris County also awards an annual
benefit to each eligible child of the public safety official in
an effort to help ease the financial concerns created by the
loss of their loved one, as stated on the website. At present,
the annual benefit is $10,000 per child per year until age
18. Should the child continue onto college, the benefit is
increased to $15,000 per year until age 23 or graduation.
Since its inception in 1971, the 200 Club of Morris
County has distributed more than $4.3 million in survivor
benefits and scholarships to families. For 2016, the club is
nearing $1,100 that will be awarded in college scholarships
to high school seniors serving in a branch of public safety
or whose a parent is actively serving or retired from a public safety capacity in Morris County.
The scholarship committee voted to award 20 scholarships of $5,000 each. The scholarship awards dinner will
be May 16 at 6 p.m. at the Zeris Inn.
The 200 Club is supported by membership dues and private donations.
Every year that money goes out to help first responders, says Lou Nisivoccia of Randolph, previous president
of the 200 Club. If we can recruit more members, we can
increase the money given to those lost in the line of duty.
Weve been slowly increasing the membership. We need to
get the word out.
Last year, Nisivoccia implemented a Power of One program in which each member is encouraged to bring in one
new member.
A member for 15 years, Nisivoccia and his wife support
several charities and with the 200 Club We are helping
our neighbors right here in Morris County. I want to take
care of those people who take care of me every single day.
In March, the 200 Club of Morris County started its
$15,000 Billboard Campaign for the Move Over law, in an

Storage Place And Low Interest Mortgage Needed To Save Shelter

By Cheryl Conway
rateful for some monetary and furniture donations in
her last call for help, the founder of a battered
womens shelter organization continues her search
for a hero to hold the mortgage.
Sandra Ramos of Ringwood, a pioneer advocate for battered women who has sheltered and strengthened women and
children for more than four decades is reaching out to others
to help save the shelter at risk for foreclosure.
The founder and director of Strengthen Our Sisters (SOS)
is looking for someone to hold the mortgage at a lower interest rate so she can continue to provide housing for 155
women and children in shelters located in New Foundland,
Wanaque and West Milford. SOS is a grassroots, community
based non-profit, program serving homeless/battered women
and children since 1977.
They are working with us, says Ramos about Rialto
Capital Management Advisors in Florida which currently
holds the mortgage bridge loan. She says she has six more
months to raise $15,000 to avoid a foreclosure.
Established in 1977 as Shelter Our Sisters - the first shelter
for battered women in North America- the organization
changed its name to Strengthen Our Sisters and has since
grown to eight houses, two day care centers, a food pantry
and a thrift store. The properties value a total of $2.5 million,
with $580,000 left to be paid.
A woman from Chatham recently donated $2,500; others

gave holiday baskets and furniture.


Lots of people donated food and Easter baskets but if they
dont have a place to live where are they going to keep their
Easter baskets? she asks. The same holds true with the furniture donations.
About 20 people recently have called offering to donate
furniture. Although grateful for all of the donations, Ramos
says the next hurdle is trying to find or afford a storage place
to hold the furniture.
People called to donate furniture, says Ramos. We
dont have room to store the furniture. We need a storage
place. People donating beautiful furniture.
Ramos says the furniture will come in handy for women
when they are able to move into an apartment or a place of
their own to live.
Through her shelter program, Ramos says thousands
have been saved during the past 46 years. Many of the
women and children her organization helps dont have families, are on section eight, have families or friends who
dont like them; who dont want to help them. We have a lot
of dysfunctional families.
We are the only shelter who will take people, says
Ramos. No one else takes these people from social services.
With two hotline numbers, Ramos has made herself available to help others- women who could have been forced to
live on the streets facing prostitution, living in cars, some having epilepsy or breathing disorders, she describes.

Ramos 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 marriage and
was in need of a roommate, she explains. One roommate
turned into 23 women in her house at one point, she admits.
Over the years, in 1977, her initiative became Shelter Our
Sisters. The mission of SOS is to break the cycle of domestic
violence, poverty and abuse by restoring balance and harmony through individual empowerment.
To support her organization, Ramos receives 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. Weve 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 currently has 17 non-paid volunteers who drive the
shelter residents to look for jobs, to court, doctor appointments, social services, schools; they fix things, watch children.
SOS recently held a tricky tray and dinner fundraiser and
in May plans to host a 3K run/walk and later that month, a
Mothers Day fundraising event. For more details about these
events and SOS, go to http://www.strengthenoursisters.org/.
To make a donation or to help, email scb@optonline.net
or call Ramos at 973-831-0898 or 973-831-6156.

Run For God Program Gets Family On Track

By Anastasia Marchese
n 2013, Dave Hickey presented his church family at Grace
Church on the Mount in Netcong with a new ministry,
Run for God. This twelve week walk/run program follows the book Devotions: Finding God in a Runners Space
by Mitchell Hollis. Run for God is a national ministry
which shows the parallels between principles of the Bible and
a running in a physical race.
When Hickey made his presentation, Steve and Aggie
Beede were on stage at the church, leading worship with the
praise team. We looked at each other and without saying
anything we knew we needed to do it, said Aggie. We were
overweight and out of shape. We started from zero, no experience whatsoever. We were feeling guilty, but not doing anything about it.
Steve and Aggie joined the first Run for God class that
Grace Church organized.
It teaches you how to eat healthy, what kind of shoes you
should wear, and how to avoid injury, says Aggie. You learn
how to stretch, all the basics to be a good runner/walker. It
doesnt only address physical health though, but focuses on
the connections between the physical race that the participants
are preparing for and the spiritual race of life- let us lay aside
every weight, and the sin which doth so easily beset us, and
let us run with patience the race that is set before us, Looking
unto Jesus the author and finisher of our faith, from Hebrews
12:1-2pp.

We learn to love God and understand his ways, says


Aggie. We have a half an hour of bible study. After the bible
study the class goes on to learn something health related, followed by a walk/run. The goal of the first twelve weeks is to
complete the Roxbury 5K Run. It is the graduation race. The
program goes slow, so by then you are ready, Aggie says.
Completing their first 5K wasnt the end for the Beedes,
but just the beginning of their journey towards continued
health and fitness. In the three years since, Steve has already
run two marathons and I have run three half marathons, and
this year I am ready to run the New York Marathon. Aggie
is excited to share the life changing effects this program has
had in her family. When asked what kept her and her husband
moving forward as runners after they accomplished their first
goal, Aggie was enthusiastic, You see changes in your body
and your bad habits. You accomplished a goal. You think,
Whats next? Lets keep going!
Aggie is clear that she doesnt attribute these life changes
to herself alone, When it is hard, we focus our eyes on God.
We say God carry me on.
Another part of the Beedes continued commitment to running and healthy living, has to do with the great friendships
that are cultivated through the Run for God program.
We make a lot of friends and continue to run together
and encourage one another, she says. When you go long
distance and you are going slowly you get to talk. We make
good friends. We make great, great friends.

The current twelve week session of Run for God has already begun, but if interested in the program contact Dave
Hickey at Church on the Mount at hoofcarepro@gmail.com
and check out the churchs website www.grace4families.com
and the Run for God website at www.runforgod.com.

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
information- specialists 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

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.

Handbags For Charity Carry Mission To Help Children And End Violence

By Cheryl Conway
andbags from Lucys Gift in Morristown carry much more weight than
a wallet, checkbook, lipstick and
other miscellaneous items.
With every purchase, customers carry on
their shoulders an effort to help children with
special needs and end violence. The pain of
losing her husband five years ago lingers for
owner Marisa Spagnoletti of Morristown, but
six months ago she found a way to channel
her loss by opening a non-profit boutique to
raise money for various charities such at the
P.G. Chambers School in Cedar Knolls.
Spagnoletti opened Lucys Gift boutique
in Morristown in Oct. 2015 and donates 100
percent of the proceeds to honor her late husband Maurice Spagnoletti, a prominent New
Jersey banker tragically killed in June 2011,
while working in San Juan, Puerto Rico.
As the founder of Lucys Gift, as well as
the Maurice J. Spagnoletti Foundation
(MJSF), the former Florham Park widow has
made it her mission to help children in need,
victims of crime and honor those who serve
and protect others.
Named after their 10-year old daughter,
Lucy, Spagnoletti says Lucys Gift is our gift
back to the world. Its just what I wanted to
do. It has grown beyond my dreams. I dont
have a website or a Facebook page. I have
emails from people all over the country, and
plans to open a second boutique in a major
retail strip mall.
With a background in sales marketingbrand management, Spagnoletti had worked
as a marketing director for Crowe Horwath
accounting firm in New York for 13 years,
but when her husband was killed, her world
changed.
Her business started haphazardly because of her husbands death. It began from
helping a small charity and blossomed into a
non-profit business.
Maurice had been good friends with their
daughters doctor, John Connor. It was
through that friendship that Maurice came to
support the Children of China Pediatric
Foundation (CCPF), a charity Dr. Connor
supports by performing free surgeries for orphans.
When my husband was murdered my
daughter was very sick, explains Spagnoletti. The day after he was buried, we met
Dr. Connor in Morristown to take care of
Lucy who has been faced with health issues.
Upon our return to NJ, Dr. Connor was

there and will always be there for us, Spagnoletti says. I told Dr. Connor I would keep
my husbands promise as he labeled the
doctor their hero.
Instead of taking money for Lucy from
those who sent donations after her tragic loss,
Spagnoletti directed donations be sent to the
CCPF in her husbands memory.
As donations increased, CCPF opened a
rehabilitation training program for chronically disabled and post-surgical orphans in
his honor the Maurice Journey of love support and hope J. Spagnoletti Rehabilitation
Program. After three years, when she got
back on her feet, Spagnoletti supported these
efforts by holding small handbag auctions.
In 2012, I started doing handbag events;
women in large numbers started buying
handbags, she says. By 2014, this grew to a
sold out crowd. This led to an annual event
in June, raising tens of thousands of dollars
for charity.
After setting enough money aside, Spagnoletti decided to open Lucys Gift to sell
handbags on a regular basis for charity.
My idea for selling handbags for charity
has exploded, says Spagnoletti. I put the
seed money in for the boutique, in hopes to
get money back to cover her salary and health
insurance. After that, all proceeds will go toward helping others.
I dont have wealth, explains Spagnoletti. I created a business where all the net
profits will go to the foundation, which go to
our charities.
Inside her boutique, Spagnoletti decorated
using pink, blue and purple hues. She explains the pink represents children in need;
blue for the victims of crime; and purple for
the purple heart.
Through her foundation, MJSF has expanded its charity to children with special
needs at P.G. Chambers School in Cedar
Knolls to support children in need; is helping
victims of crime by supporting domestic violence and sexual assault safe houses such as
SAFE in Hunterdon; and aid charities that
support the Federal Bureau of Investigation,
whose agents and families inspire
Marisa with their heroic efforts to protect us
domestically, as explained in the MJSF mission statement.
When you buy something, you want to
know where your money is going, she explains.
Spagnoletti selected P.G. Chambers as a
charity recipient after meeting one of the

mothers who sends both of her kids who are


in wheelchairs to the school, which provides
the most comprehensive education and therapy programs for children with disabilities.
We met by chance, says Spagnoletti
about Annabella Rossi, the mother of the two
students at P.G. Chambers. At that moment
she was having a bad day; I was having a bad
day.
Out of the 35 volunteers at MJSF, Rossi
became her eighth volunteer.
She started coming to my house; we became friends. Spagnoletti honored Rossi in
2013 when she presented her with the Maurice Spagnoletti Foundation Caregiver
Award. Annabella is a role model to me.
Every year, Spagnoletti presents the caregiver award to an individual, a teacher,
mother or nurse. In June 2015, she gave the
award to a woman named Tiffany who created a park for disabled children near the Jets
Training Facility. Tiffanys daughter also attends the P.G. Chambers School.
Lucys Gift specializes in mostly handbags, and jewelry. Featured are 200 handbags
on display varying in color, price and function, from popular name brands like Gucci,
authentic lines, fake leather to unheard labels.
Prices of bags range from $50 to $2,000.
Handbags are my life, she says. The
sky is the limit for us; we even carry mens
wallets, and bags for men. Within two
months, we were able to triple our inventory.
Customers can also find unique costume
jewelry pieces and accesories, ranging from
$18 to $350, as well as distinct unique items
such as a wine tote, her number one seller
found in a Texas boutique.
I travel the country and find really neat
boutiques, she says, bringing back those rare

items, such as a little mirror that attaches to


an iphone, to resell.
When you come to my boutique, everything is sacred, says Spagnoletti. Our
dream is to bring luxury to all women. I grew
up lower income; I didnt have money to
spend. I always dreamed Id be able to provide fashion to everyone.
Instead of a bow or ribbon, every bag or
purchase is adorned with a barrette.
To her surprise, Spagnolettis mission is
taking off. Concert-singer Naomi Miller, who
was singing in Italian on the streets in Morristown, attended her grand opening; Spagnoletti has been getting emails of support
from around the country; and she recently appeared on the NBC Today Show with Al
Roker.
After five years, Im finding peace. My
husband was brutally assassinated. Honoring
him was my life mission. The FBI is still investigating the case, she adds.
A prominent banker for Doral Financial,
Maurice was shot and killed at the age of 57
by unknown assailants, June 15, 2011, while
sitting in his car in traffic on the highway.
Employed with the company for just one
year, he had been assigned to work in Puerto
Rico in Jan. 2011, says Spagnoletti.
Justice is coming I believe that. The people who killed my husband will be brought
to justice. We seek justice for all. Hope is
something we have and something we have
to work for. Hope with positive action prevails. The men and women Ive come to
know are beyond extraordinary; they are the
real heroes.
Part of Spagnolettis mission is to put an
end to violence.

Spagnoletti. You dont heal from violence.
It is prevention, awareness and treatment that
will lead to end violence. In my very small
way Im going to make an impact. Its my
mission to end violence and I will. I want my

brutally murdered 26 years ago, joined her


MJSF board and is helping her create the
scholarship.
At last years annual Handbag Auction
held in June at the Hanover Manor in East
Hanover, $30,000 was raised for the charities.
Participants paid $75 for all you can eat,
dancing, raffles, silent auction of handbags
and other items, and presentations by charity
organizations.
Through her mission, Spagnoletti has
rechanneled her anger to provide a healthy
environment for her daughter. She explains,
I can only focus on positive so she can grow
up and be positive.
Its amazing what could be done for the
memory of one hero. Through all of this Im
really finding peace. I was so low and so sad,
but now Im back. If Im working 24 hours a
day, its not work, its what I love to do. I
know I never let him down. I feel my husband smiling when I can do things like this. I
do my little part in helping them; every year
I feel like Im doing more.
On her boutique wall hangs a framed
poem titled Life Does Not Frighten Me At

All. A girl that Spagnoletti met one year ago


at P.G. Chambers School read her that poem.
Honestly they teach me more, she says.
Since then, Spagnoletti has adopted a class
there and I go and visit her. Nothing frightens this little girl who has all these issues. I
would sell my life for her.
Spagnoletti has come up with a program
in which companies pay people to volunteer.
Corporations can give not to the foundation, but to the P.G. Chambers School. For
that donation, we will train that staff. Lets
get people to commit to volunteer work.
As a way to market and add new revenue
source for her boutique, Spagnoletti recently
started Lucys Gift Treasure Chest, in which
she provides non-profits, fair priced tricky
tray or auction items. Her idea came about
after she gave a handbag to a church who
asked her for a tricky tray donation.
Lucys Gift is open Tues. and Wed., 11
a.m. to 6 p.m.; Thurs., Fri. and Sat., 11 a.m.
to 7:30 p.m.; and Sun. 11 a.m. to 4 p.m.

SWAP Meat to
Transform Traditional Meals

ow more than ever, food choices


matter. People want healthy, environmentally friendly foods without
sacrificing flavor. Substituting the traditional protein in your favorite dishes with
seafood is one deliciously smart way to satisfy these demands.
Seafood offers numerous health benefits.
In fact, because seafood is high in protein,
omega-3 fatty acids and essential vitamins
and minerals, but low in saturated fat and
calories, several health organizations recommend two servings per week.
Changing up traditional meals to incorporate the goodness of seafood is easier
than you may think. Just pick a non-seafood
protein dish that you regularly enjoy and replace the protein with one of Alaskas many
species of seafood. For example, replace

veal in veal parmesan with delicious Alaska


cod or the chicken in chicken Marsala with
flavorful Alaska salmon.
Find more easy, meatless recipes and inspiration at wildalaskaseafood.com.
