Chamber Choir Gets Discovered By Producers

To Carol On National Television

By Cheryl Conway
o spread holiday
cheer, students from
the Randolph High
School Chamber Choir
travel every year to New
York City to carol in various locations.
Last month during their
trip they stopped in a
breezeway next to a building to sing, only soon to
learn that their voices were
heard by the producers
from Fox & Friends morning television show.
Led by RHS Choral Director Matthew Swiss, 26
students in grades nine
through 12 were thrilled
when the sounds of their

beautiful voices were discovered on Wed.,

Dec. 16, and invited two days later to perform live on the Fox News morning show.
It was very exciting, for the students,
myself, the high school and the community, says Frank Perrone, district supervi-

sor of Visual and Performing Arts at RHS.

It meant a lot that we were able to express
our talent.
An audition based group, students try
out annually to be selected to sing on the

Newspaper Company Thanks Contributors

Of Toy/Clothing Drive

ew View Media Group LLC, would like to thank

everyone who donated toys and clothing for its
second annual Toy/Clothing Drive. This year the
company had an overwhelming response.
It was through the generosity of our readers that we
were able to help nine local families (20 children) and donate to Strengthen Our Sisters, a shelter for women, says
Mary Lalama of Flanders, co-owner of New View Media
LLC.
Lalama organized her first drive last year through the
company as a way to give back to the community and

help those facing tough times. From Nov. 2015 through

Dec. 20, new, unwrapped toys and clothing including
winter necessities such as hats, gloves, coats and scarves
for newborns through age 14, as well as gift cards were
donated with ten drop off boxes at businesses throughout
the surrounding area.
I thank you from the bottom of my heart for putting
smiles on the faces of so many children through your generosity, stated Lalama. I am always so touched by the
outpouring of love in our communities. Again I thank you
all.

Chamber Choir Gets Discovered...

high school chamber choir. Besides a holiday and spring concert and pep rally, the
singers look forward to the annual trip into
NYC which involves caroling, seeing a
Broadway Show and grabbing a bite to eat,
explains Perrone.
Each year, we begin our caroling trip in
Bryant Park, explains Swiss. We carol in
a couple locations around the outside of the
park, and then carol on the steps of the library at 5th and 41st. We then walk up 5th
avenue, stopping in a few locations to carol.
When we stop to carol, we usually sing
about three-four songs, presenting a little
mini-concert that lasts about seven minutes, Swiss explains. Our final caroling
location is usually the steps of St. Patricks
Cathedral. We usually draw our largest audience at this location, around 100, and we
present all of our prepared selections, with
this year being seven pieces.
This year, on our way to Broadway to
see a show, we encountered a breezeway
under the middle of a building that looked
like it would have great acoustics, Swiss
describes. We stopped to sing, and that is
when we caught the attention of producers
from Fox and Friends.

Perrone says the group didnt realize it

was right next to Fox & Friends building
when they stopped in the breezeway. They
found a nice place.
When they heard it upstairs in the
building, they were thrilled and impressed
with the carolers.
The producers came downstairs to talk
to the group and then contacted Perrone
later that afternoon to ask if the carolers
could come back Friday morning on Jan.
18, to perform a two-minute medley of carols on the Fox & Friends morning show.
Starting just in July as district supervisor, Perrone says he was extremely excited. I knew overall the music arts
department had a great reputation. Perrone
says he is grateful to work with them and
have these great opportunities happen.
Less than two days to prepare, The students worked very hard Fox wanted a
medley, so I arranged one on Wednesday
night, using some material they already
knew and some that was new to them, says
Swiss. We spent about two hours rehearsing on Thursday, they practiced at home,
and then they came in the next morning
with the medley memorized. The whole

thing, from catching Foxs attention to

singing on national TV, was less than 48
hours.
The students, They were beyond excited, says Perrone. We had to get there
[RHS] five in the morning, to get to the
Fox & Friends building by 6:30 a.m. for
sound check, video check and performance
at 7:50 a.m. for the Fox Flash segment of

the show.
I was able to go with them and see their
reaction, says Perrone. What an awesome
experience to share their music to the
world. It was definitely a memory they will
have their whole life. Nice way to end the
year; it was great for everyone.
Swiss says, The students worked incredibly hard! Im very proud of them.

Editor Wraps Up Top 2015 Stories;

Welcomes More Shining Times For New Year

By Cheryl Conway
year has come and gone since I have taken the
reins as editor of New View Media Group Newspapers and what a positive journey it has been.
Being part of a company that has doubled in size, from
eight monthly papers to 17, has been so exciting but the
greatest joy for me has been being on the forefront of so
many wonderful stories that surround us every day. Most
other newspapers will fill their pages with police stories,
obituaries, car accidents, suicides, murders, disasters, law
suits, political battles and controversial issues that busy municipal governments and school boards.
While every journalist craves that news breaking story
or that shocking incident for that hard-nose reporter to capture all those details whether gory or devastating, there is
nothing quite refreshing or satisfying than covering a feel
good story that tugs at heart strings and puts a smile on
ones face.
My days this past year have surrounded me with stories
about the kindest people who have given their time, mind
and spirit to help others in need; who have gone above and
beyond in their endeavors or jobs; who have put other peoples lives before theirs; or about events that bring joy to
the community or raise needed funds or supplies for a particular issue or charity; and even about communities and
school districts that continue to work together to improve

their surroundings through new programs and resources; as

well as businesses that continue to keep hard workers employed while providing the best services to customers.
While New View Media Group is an unaffiliated paper,
meaning it remains untied to any particular religion or political group, it upholds similar virtues and ethics like being
kind to others, helping thy neighbor, giving tzedaka or charity, doing a mitzvah or kind deed, volunteering time and
sharing generously and unselfishly with those in need.
Looking back through the twelve months of 2015, so
many stories of genuine kindness fill my mind that it would
be wrongful of me to not reminisce before jumping in to
share the positive moments unfolding for 2016.
For Randolph News readers, the stories that took center
stage included a CCM student who received a portion of
his brothers liver and then completed a documentary to enlist other organ donors; a local couple hosted an annual
book fair to honor their son who died in 2007 and provide
books to other kids faced with life-shortening health care
issues; nine-year old boy wrote books to raise money for
homeless; a golf charity event to raise money for Beyond
The Walls was held to honor two Randolph High School
students who died in a 2014 car crash; Randolph Rocks 5K
Run raised almost $25,000 for education foundation; kids
shaved heads at local church to raise money for cancer research; Morris Habitat For Humanity attracted 400 volun-

teers to help veterans and build walls for new homes for
families in need; Randolph High School students participated in Operation Smile to raise money for children surgeries; high school senior collected and donated sports
equipment to those in need; middle school students sold
pink t-shirts and bracelets to raise funds and awareness of
breast cancer; martial arts students break boards to raise
money for fire department; teen group is formed to give
back to community; middle school students collect food
and toys for others.
The positive stories are endless and contagious really.
Shared each month to inspire, motivate, reflect and channel
others to get involved, donate, give back, participate or
even just turn negative energy into one filled with optimism
and hope, each community stands stronger and united
knowing that there are people out there who do care and
are making a difference every day.
Nothing wrong with being humble, but do not let that
stop you from contacting New View Media Group to share
your contribution of how you helped to make the world a
brighter place. There is nothing wrong with shining and
patting yourself on the back for some well-deserved recognition.
Send your press releases and story ideas to me at editor@newviewmg.com. I look forward to hearing from you
in 2016until then happy, healthy New Year to all readers.

Messiah Concert Features Local Performers

By Elsie Walker
essiah concerts arent just for
Christmas anymore. On Sun.,
Jan. 24, at 4 p.m., Part I and selected choruses and solos from Parts II and
III of Handels famous work will be performed by the Unity Choir under the direction of choir director/organist Henry Repp of
Netcong. The concert will take place at the
First United Methodist Church of Newton in
Newton. The choir is made of singers from
a variety of local area churches.
Traditionally associated with Christmas,
Messiah is a 1700s work based on scriptural
text compiled by Charles Jennens. According to the America Classic website
(http://www.classicamerica.net/), The text
begins in Part I with prophecies by Isaiah and
others, and moves to the annunciation to the
shepherds, the only scene taken from the
Gospels. In Part II, Handel concentrates on
the Passion and ends with the "Hallelujah"
chorus. In Part III he covers the resurrection
of the dead and Christ's glorification in
heaven.
Soprano Barbara Repp, Unity Choir
member and wife of its director, explained
that the January concert is an outgrowth of a
long-standing Messiah Christmas concert
that was held at the Memorial Presbyterian
Church in Dover. That concert had been
done for many years, but fell by the wayside.
Barbara explained, In 2012, they again
tried to revive the Messiah performance and
asked Henry to be the organist. The concert
was set for a Saturday afternoon in mid-December. A major snowstorm arrived on that
weekend and the concert was cancelled. Due
to various conflicts, the concert was not going
to be rescheduled in Dover. Many of the disappointed singers contacted Henry and asked
if there were some way that the concert could
be performed. Henry, who is the director of
music and organist at First United Methodist
Church in Newton, said that they could come
to Newton to do it. There were some doubts
whether they would have enough singers, but
had 45 for that first January concert. Also,
people liked the timing of it.

Everyone loved having the concert in

January after all the hustle and bustle of the
Christmas season was over. Last year, we
had more than 75 singers representing 32
churches, said Barbara.
This year, again, singers from the local
areas will be joining in for what has become,
for some, a tradition.
Because once is never enough! said
Grace Church of Hopatcong.
Another Hopatcong resident, Irene Yearwood , said, I have been singing it for many
years and love doing it. Many of the performances of Messiah in which Ive sang
were with Henry at the organ.
For Amanda Drake Liu of Randolph, is it
a way to honor loved ones. She said, My
mother sang in the Messiah for over 45 years
- for our family, the performance, a test of endurance for even the most well behaved
child, signaled the start of the Christmas season. She passed away five years ago around
this time. I brought my father to hear the
Messiah here for the past few years. He
passed away last year. I am singing in memory of both of them.
In the case of Barbara Edwards of Newton, it reminds her of her high school days at
Roxbury High School in Succasunna and
singing it there: It was a long-standing tradition, and we spent many hours learning our
parts under the direction of Bud Beavers, a
music director with great passion for his work
and a wonderful sense of humor. We all loved
him and sang our hearts out for him. I always
have looked back fondly on my high school
Messiah experience, and when the Unity
Choir reinstated this tradition, I was naturally
thrilled. I still use my yellowed, tattered high
school score, by the way.
This year, in addition to having Henry on
the organ, the choir will be joined by soloists
Tom Carle (tenor), Kathleen Meredith (alto).
David Young (bass), and Molly Young (soprano).
Henry, a church organist for 48 years,
began his organ studies with Alfred Mayer of
Morristown and continued with Dorothe
Lanning at First Memorial Presbyterian in

Dover, where he was later organist for 13

years and began his many years of playing
Messiah. He had played at numerous venues
and organ concerts on a variety of organs including those at St. Thomas Church in Manhattan and the Cathedral Basilica of the
Sacred Heart in Newark. He was affiliated
with the Pike County Choral Society for ten
years.
In 1984, Repp accepted the position of organist/choir director at Peapack Reformed

Church in Gladstone where he served for

twenty-nine years. He founded the Peapack
Reformed Church Community Choir which
presented a special musical program annually
on Palm Sunday afternoon. In 2012, Repp
became Director of Music and organist at
First United Methodist Church in Newton.

Teens In Randolph Network To Build Core Values And Give

By Cheryl Conway
ince the group was formed last year,
Randolph C-Teen has collected
products for Israeli soldiers, donated
toiletries to New Jersey Battered Womens
Services and needed items for children in
a group home.
Affiliated with Chabad Teen Network,
Randolph CTeen is offered through the
Randolph Chabad with many more events
to be organized by area high school
teenagers. With atleast one event planned
monthly, the next event is being planned for
the end of Jan. or early Feb.
The group provides an outlet for local
youth affiliated with the same faith to stay
involved with their peers, learn about themselves while giving to others and build on
core values to carry with them as they develop into young men and women.
Many families drop out of Chabad after
Hebrew school, explains Chava Bekhor of
Randolph, director of programming at the
Chabad of Randolph. CTeen provides an
opportunity for teens to feel connected, to
feel a belonging. These teens feel a part of
something.

While Bekhor is the facilitator, the teens

are in charge of running the program.
Its their ideas, their charities, she
says, to build up their real traits and their
real personality. Their enthusiasm is incredible.
CTeen began in Randolph with the kickoff event held in Oct. 2015 with an Israeli
night. An Israeli soldier came to speak with
the teens; a self-defense program was featured; and participants donated products
that were shipped to Israeli soldiers.
Another event was held Dec. 6 with a
spa day for just girls. About 18 teenage girls
from Randolph High School gathered at the
Chabad House in Randolph for manicures,
massages, homemade body scrub, lipstick,
a raffle for a free manicure at Chloes Nails,
a Holocaust speaker and a makeup tutorial.
Participants were asked to bring toiletries
to donate to the NJ Battered Womens Services, and in exchange for their donation
were granted community service hours.
On Jan. 10, the girls met again at the
Chabad House in Randolph for Destress, an
event which involved Challa Baking, yoga
and to collect undergarments, underwear

WE DELIVER

and sheets for an orphanage in Hackensack.

While two events so far limited participants to girls, the program is co-ed, says
Bekhor, who is currently seeking a president and vice president to lead the boys
group for CTeen in Randolph. The oppor-

AMERICAN ITALIAN MEDITERRANEAN

tunity is ideal for resume building.

An engaging program, CTeen gives the
teens an environment through giving and
outreach that can build their core values and
help them learn who they are.

Teens In Randolph Network...

Bekhor says it helps them to build up
their real traits and their real personality;
dedicated to nurturing them. To help others, thats the beautiful part of this.
CTeen has a curriculum for discussions
for teens. The goal is to have one event each

month that features a social component as

well as some humanitarian purpose; and

educational topic.

power of youth transformed the teen years

into a time of purpose and self-discovery.

CTeen harnesses the incredible potential of
teenagers with awesome programs that
bring teens together to give back to their
communities and the environment.
The idea is to Channeling the teens energy and directing it the right way, says
Bekhor, adding that the suicide ride among
teens is escalating. There is a need to show
teens they can make an impact.
CTeen, its just flourishing, says
Bekhor. The first time I went to a CTeen
Shabbatone, I saw the connection with Jewish friends, as well as unity, compassion
for others and volunteer opportunities.
Once a year, up to 6,000 teens from all
backgrounds and affiliations rent out Time
Square in New York to connect.
Other CTeens nearby are in Rockaway
and Montville.
The one just formed in Randolph as
theres a need for it, says Bekhor who has
been involved in running the Randolph
Chabad for the past 15 years, followed by

her parents who ran it for 18 years prior.

There are a lot of Jewish teens in Randolph. The kids brought it into the high
school to attract their friends but programs
right now are held outside of school. There
may be an effort to bring the club into
school like during lunch as an option, she
adds.
Another group, CTeen Junior is also
held for seventh and eighth graders twice
monthly on Sundays from 9:30 a.m. to
noon.
Advisors of CTeen also work with high
school students in grades 11 and 12, to
guide them to keep their connection to Judaism as they consider a college education.
We look at ourselves as a liaison, says
Bekhor. We will connect them to Chabad
or Hillel in their college.
For more information or to get involved,
call 973-895-3070; or go to randolphjewish.com for upcoming events under CTeen.
Members do not have to be from Randolph

High School Students At CCM Assist with Space Station Project

ot many students can say they have

played a part in the International
Space Station. Come this spring,
however, high schools students enrolled in
the Engineering Design and Advanced
Manufacturing (EDAM) program at
County College of Morris (CCM) will work
in a select group as NASA affiliates to build
products for the International Space Station.
Its an amazing opportunity for young
students to gain practical hands-on experience and to start building their resumes,
said Eric Pedersen, lab assistant for the engineering programs at CCM who applied to
see if the high school students at CCM
could take part in the NASA High School
Students United with NASA to Create
Hardware (HUNCH) for the International
Space Station. CCM is the first college to
partner with NASA HUNCH.
To mark the launch of the project at
CCM, Dr. Florence Gold, NASA HUNCH
implementation project manager, met with
the EDAM students on Wed., Jan. 6, to review their assigned task for the space sta-

tion and offer recommendations and suggestions. Also in attendance was John
Schamarek Jr. from Haas Factory Outlet.
The students will be working on equipment
manufactured by Hass. At CCM, they will
be taking part in the HUNCH Build to Print
program designing and manufacturing parts
for single stowage lockers for the space station.
When you put this on your resumes,
you are NASA contractors with the Johnson
Space Center, Gold informed the students.
You are now working for the space station.
Dr. Edward J. Yaw, president of CCM,
adds, Not only are these EDAM students
gaining a competitive edge by starting a
college education early, now they will be
implementing what they are learning in the
classroom for NASA and gaining the experience to help them launch successful careers.
EDAM is a share-time program developed by the Morris County Vocational
School District in partnership with CCM

earlier this year. About 20 high school students are enrolled in the inaugural class.
The program is designed for students
with an interest in engineering, computer
applications and manufacturing. Upon
completion of the two-year program, stu-

dents earn 32 credits from CCM and a Certificate of Achievement in Mechanical

Computer Aided Drafting and Engineering
Technology.

State DEP Awards $14.3 Million In Recycling Grants

orris Countys 39 municipalities

will receive a total of $805,259
in state recycling grants from a
pool of $14.3 million in grants announced
recently by the state Department of Environmental Protection, with the money to
be used to help implement and enhance
local recycling efforts.
The funds, based on 2013 recycling
performance, are being awarded through
the states Recycling Enhancement Act.
Topping the list of grant recipients in
Morris County are Montville, $59,560;
Rockaway Township, $56,534; Parsippany, $50,378; and Madison, $40,905.
Recycling is a way for all Morris
County residents, and our schools and
businesses, to make a personal hands-on
difference in protecting our environment
and enhancing the quality of life in our
county and state, said Morris County
Freeholder Director Kathy DeFillippo.
Recycling not only conserves re-

sources, it conserves energy, saves money

for local governments, and creates jobs
and economic development, said DEP
Commissioner Bob Martin.
The best way to recycle is to follow the
guidelines advertised by your municipality
and only recycle those materials which are
acceptable. Unacceptable materials in the
recycling stream cause problems and
lower the value of all the materials, said
Morris County Recycling Coordinator
Kathleen Hourihan.
The states recycling grant program is
funded by a $3 per ton surcharge on trash
disposed of at solid waste facilities across
the state. Distribution of grants this year is
based on the recycling successes local
governments demonstrated in 2013.
The grant program is designed to reward local governments for good performance and to enhance recycling efforts
across the state, according to the DEP.
Each award is based on materials col-

Make Volunteering
A New Years Resolution At
Morris Habitat For Humanity

orris Habitat for Humanity continues to expand its mission to

provide safe and affordable
housing to qualified families. The number
of housing units it plans to build keeps
growing; that is its resolution for the New
Year.
But that kind of expansion means far
more help is needed and it hopes that area
residents will make volunteering a New
Year resolution, too. Morris Habitat invites all who are interested to join the
large family of volunteers now helping to
make the dream of home-ownership come
true. Its not too late to make a commitment.
Researchers have found that active volunteers reported, compared to other people the same age, improvements in mental
health and physical functioning. They also
seemed to delay the onset of age-related
health problems. Active volunteers reported higher self-esteem and more connectivity with other people. They were
more engaged in the community and increased their number of friends.
When most people think of Morris
Habitat for Humanity, they think about
swinging a hammer at a construction site.

It is true that Habitat for Humanity is dedicated to building decent, affordable housing for qualified low-income families;
therefore needing a stream of dedicated
construction volunteers. However, there
are many non-construction activities
where mature volunteers excel. Morris
Habitat invites people of all backgrounds,
ages, races and religions to come and volunteer.
Those interested can start by attending
one of Morris Habitats monthly volunteer
orientations and, within an hour, learn all
about Morris Habitat, our activities and
plans as well as all the areas where volunteers are needed.
Like to shop? Consider working in its
ReStore. Like to plan events or mentor a
family? Consider joining one of the many
committees that ensure Morris Habitat
reaches its goal of helping 10-15 local
families per year by providing affordable
home ownership.

when the next volunteer orientation is
scheduled, go to www.morrishabitat.org;

lected and recycled and can be used in various ways to improve recycling results,
such as producing educational materials
and paying salaries for recycling coordinators.
In 2013, New Jersey generated more
than 10 million tons of municipal solid
waste (MSW). The DEP documented the
recycling of more than 4.3 million tons of
recyclable municipal wastes, which includes items such as glass, aluminum and
other metals, and paper.
This resulted in a MSW recycling rate
of 43 percent. In comparison, the national
MSW recycling rate in 2013 was 34.3 percent, according to the federal Environmental Protection Agency. Morris County
continues to be one of the leaders in the
state with an MSW recycling rate of nearly
50 percent.
Overall, New Jersey in 2013 generated
more than 21 million tons of solid waste,
which includes municipal waste plus construction debris and other types of nonmunicipal waste. Of this, more than 12
million tons were recycled, for an overall
recycling rate of 58 percent.

Municipal programs in the New View

Media Group coverage area will receive
the following grants: Chatham $34,911;
Chatham Twp. $10,554; Chester $4,734;
Chester Twp. $8,055; East Hanover
$37,829; Florham Park $20,823; Hanover
$31,692; Madison $40,905; Mendham
$7,506; Mendham Twp. $3,849; Morris
Twp. $37,871; Morris Plains $16,697;
Morristown $37,512; Mt. Arlington
$2,841; Mt. Olive $36,149; Netcong
$4,901; Randolph $36,382; Roxbury
$26,762; and Washington $19,263.
New Jersey was the first state to make
recycling mandatory, back in 1987, said
Mark Pedersen, DEPs assistant commissioner for Site Remediation and Solid
Waste Management. The recycling culture
is deeply ingrained in most of us and has
become a daily habit in most of our homes,
businesses, schools, hospitals and other institutions. Every time we pitch a bottle or
can in the recycling bucket, we are pitching
in to protect our environment.

SOS- Women And Children

Looking For An Angel To Save Shelter

By Cheryl Conway
or those who agree its better to
give than receive, there is an opportunity banging on the door of a
shelter organization that could help hundreds of women and children who may be
left on the street if the mortgage is not
paid.
Secret Santas may be long gone, but
there has to be an angel out there willing
to hold the mortgage of Strengthen Our
Sisters, a grassroots, community based
non-profit, program serving homeless/battered women and children for more than
four decades. Faced with mortgage conflicts, the shelter has to come up with
$30,000 by Jan. 15 to avoid foreclosure.
Established in 1977 as Shelter Our Sisters - the first shelter for battered women
in North America- the organization
changed its name to Strengthen Our Sisters (SOS) and grew to eight houses, two
day care centers, a food pantry and a thrift
store. The properties value a total of $2.5
million, with just under $600,000 left to
be paid. With restricted monies coming in,
the organization is at risk of closing its
doors to hundreds of women and children
with no other safe place to go.
I dont know what would happen to
these people, says Sandra Ramos of
Ringwood, founder and executive director
of SOS. If we dont get help with the
mortgage people will be on the street. If
someone wants to be an angel and save
our mortgage that would be great.

Ramos explains if we had the $30,000

it would be the drop down money if someone could give it.
Rialto Capital Management Advisors
in Florida, the company that is holding the
mortgage bridge loan, did not return
phone calls to New View Media Group as
of press time. Valley National Bank had
sold the mortgage to Rialto when SOSs
funding was reduced, says Ramos.
During this year and one half, they
have seen our reliability and commitment
to avoid foreclosure by paying $30,000
every three months, which is directly applied to the principal, along with a
monthly payment of $7,000, says
Ramos. SOS has done this faithfully, although it has been challenging.
Ramos, a pioneer advocate for battered
women, started her first shelter in 1970 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.
I wanted a roommate, says Ramos,
so she put the word out that she wanted to
share her house. The ones who came to
me were the ones who got battered, says
Ramos. Women called to say I cant stay
in my house.
One roommate turned into 23 women
in her house at one point, she admits. Her
children would sleep with her in her waterbed; there would be some guests on the
floor, in the bathtub, in the basement.

I would get a call and say Im sorry I

have no room. But it was difficult to turn
people away who would say I finally got
the courage to leave; if you dont take me
I will die.
Ramos says, My neighbors said they
didnt want battered women on their
block, and I told them, they are already
here, the question is do you want them living with pain, suffering and horror or do
you want them living with peace, dignity
and respect?
When the town found out that Ramos
had too many people at her house they
threatened to put me in jail, she says.
The town cited her for overcrowding
because she had three or more unrelated
people living together.
I told the town If you want a place
for them you have to drag them out kicking and screaming; so they put them in a
motel, Twin Lakes Motel in Paramus.
Ramos did not turn her back on them
and instead continued to help them.

We would have to pick them up and

take them to look for housing, counseling, says Ramos. They [the town] didnt
give them food or services, counseling.
The Catholic Church would bring food
and battered women would work together
to help other women.
Over the years, in 1977, her initiative
became Shelter Our Sisters. She moved
out of her house to Bergen County in a
house located on a churchs property in
Bogota. About 10 to 15 women in children lived there.
Her organization grew, and established
a board of directors, but after a disagreement, the board fired Ramos in 1986.
Ramos separated and formed SOS a
year later. With her children grown, she
moved to her house in Ringwood and
people started calling me. I let some people stay in my house. We knew we had to
get a shelter.
They opened a thrift store in Haskell.

Looking For An Angel To Save Shelter...

continued from previous page

We raised more money, and even the
board from her first organization would
send her people to help.
With a state regulated budget of up to
four million dollars, Ramos was able to
manage her organization but as state regulations got stricter, operations got
tougher such as paying the mortgage.
Ive always been an advocate for
women and children, says Ramos, who
teaches social issues and dynamics of domestic violence at Ramapo College in
Mahwah as an adjunct professor. Everybody has been touched by domestic violence in one way.
One woman was going to be killed by
a gangster guy, explains Ramos. Other
women and children she brought into her
shelter were rich but their husbands were
molesters and child abusers. No one
would take them. We reach out to people
who need help. We help a lot of pregnant
women and children.
Through her shelter program, Ramos
says thousands have been saved during

the past 46 years. With two hotline numbers, Ramos has made herself available to
help others.
The mission of SOS is to break the
cycle of domestic violence, poverty and
abuse by restoring balance and harmony
through individual empowerment.
She currently helps 155 women and
children in seven shelters located in New
Foundland, Wanaque and West Milford;
two daycare centers in Wanaque and West
Milford; a thrift store in a church; and one
food pantry in Wanaque.
To support her organization, Ramos 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 says she currently has 17 nonpaid volunteers who drive the shelter res-

idents to look for jobs, to court, doctor appointments, social services, schools; they
fix things, watch children.
They are exhausted but they believe
in the shelter, says Ramos, just like she
does.
I have seen women that have come to
me and their lives are a wreck, depressed,
suicidal, she says.
People are still calling, continues
Ramos. Every day I get four or five calls.
We take almost everybody. We take people who no one else will take. We take
people without welfare vouchers. We
dont want to see them killed, beaten or
frozen to death.
Yesterday, a 70-year old woman had
no heat, we took her, adds Ramos. She
also took in another woman with five children, who would be out in the street

Many of the women and children her

friends who dont like them; who dont
want to help them. We have a lot of dysfunctional families.
Ramos explains, I see them heal, get
strong and get their lives together. We live
in a violent society; theres a lot of violence. The work Im doing I feel its a
mission but right now I need an angel. I
just need someone to pay off the mortgage

Layups 4 Life Continues To Fight

Cancer On The Court

By J. L. Shively
ith winter finally rearing its
head, spring feels very far
away indeed. But with something to look forward to, perhaps winter
will not feel so very far after all. On Sun.
April 10, Dan Exter is set to be hosting the
second annual Layups 4 Life challenge
and registration for the event is now open.
Exter, a Roxbury High School alumni,
always had a passion for the game of basketball and his passion did not fade when
he was diagnosed with Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia in the summer of
2013. Having fought his cancer and won,
Exter explains, I wanted to give back and
help the place which inevitably saved my
life.
Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center (MSKCC) is where Exter received his
treatments and it is this center where the
money raised from the Layups 4 Life
challenge will be donated. Having had his
share of varsity court time at RHS, Exter
decided it would be the perfect place to
hold his challenge. I wanted to combine
my passion with a cause and that is how
Layups 4 Life was born, Exter explains.
Cancer research is a long and ongoing
process which is why funds are always
needed for the research as well as clinical
trials which will aid in working towards a
cure. Exter explains that after last years

challenge he divided the donations up into

three different categories all within
MSKCC. The categories were General
Leukemia, Pediatric Leukemia and a
Bone Marrow Research Foundation. Although disbursement of funds has not yet
been decided for this year, it is likely that
the money raised from the challenge will
again go to the same categories within
MSKCC.
The Layups 4 Life main challenge consists of a 3-on-3 basketball tournament
open to both boys and girls ages 15 and
up. This challenge invites Roxbury residents to compete and, as Exter explains,
the challenge is open to the Roxbury
community and beyond, having stated
that lasts years event consisted of teams
from all over the east coast such as participants from New York, Connecticut and
Massachusetts.
The teams can be co-ed and in the past
had members from ages 15 up to 50. The
cost for registration is $25 per team member and teams consist of four members.
The cost of registration goes up to $30 per
team member after April 4.
This tournament gives a chance for
anyone and everyone to show their skills
on the court as well as an opportunity to
honor family and friends who continue
their battle with cancer. Exter recalls that

months, its important to stay warm
and well-nourished. Using in-season ingredients and produce is a simple way
to brighten your winter blues and introduce
authentic vitamin-rich flavor to your meals.
Florida Grapefruit reaches its best taste
during the heart of winter, making it a great
source of fresh, nutrient-rich fruit at a time
when many others are not available, said
Emily Richards, cookbook author. I like to
add Florida Grapefruit and its juice to salads, savory dishes and snacks.

Did You Know?

ccording to data from Statistics

Brain, the American Cancer Society and Health Land, around 70
percent of smokers harbor a desire to quit
altogether, while 40 percent of smokers
will try to quit this year. Quitting smoking
is a popular New Years resolution, and a
choice that can improve smokers health
dramatically. Smokers can reduce their

rate of dying from smoking by half just by

quitting before age 50. Although the percentage of smokers who will succeed in
quitting the first time around is small, it is
still worth the effort. Today there are many
different plans, medications and smokingcessation support groups to help smokers
as they attempt to quit.

Layups 4 Life...

continued from page 18

many teams make t-shirts with their team
name and one team last year had shirts to
honor their friend still fighting cancer.
This tournament is a great reminder of the
strides that have been made to combat
cancer, with Exter being living proof, but
it is also proof that the battle has not yet
won for everyone.
An overall winner of the tournament
will be chosen at the end of the event.
Last year the winners were presented with
a gym bag with the Layups 4 Life logo on
it and spectators who participated in the
raffle and silent auction were able to win
an array of gift certificates donated by
local businesses as well as professional
sports memorabilia. Exter says a prize is
hopefully in the works for this years winners as well.
With last years tournament the Layups
4 Life challenge raised more than $10,000
with 40 teams registered to play and 300
spectators in the stands, the Layups event
had quite the draw. With this years event
drawing closer challengers, seasoned and

rookie, are invited to come out and register.

There is more than one way to participate. A group can register a team to take
part in the tournament. Teams consists of
four members, giving the 3-on-3 challengers a one substitute.
Even for those who wish to stay off the
court there is a place to help out, Exter explains that making a donation, becoming
a sponsor or even just coming by on the
day of the event to take part in the silent
auction and raffle as well as cheering on
the teams helps out just as much.
The event is scheduled to be held at the
ROHS on Sun. April 10; doors open at
10:30 a.m.; team registration confirmation
is at 10 a.m.
For more information about Layups 4
Life or to become a sponsor email Exter
at layups4life@gmail.com. To donate to
the program or to register for the event go
to www.layups4life.org. To stay in the
loop follow Layups 4 Life on Twitter and
Instagram @layups4life and on Facebook.com/layups4life.
