Roxbury Superintendent Of Schools Heads Over To Lead Jefferson Schools
By Jane Primerano
ith
Loretta
Radulics promotion from assistant superintendent of
schools in Roxbury Township, Patrick Tierney bids
farewell to the district he
has led for nearly four
years.
The board released Tierney from his contract on
Mon., Jan. 4, allowing him
to step into his new job at
Jefferson Township Tues.,
Jan. 5.
Jefferson approved Tierneys contract on Dec. 16,
2015. He was to start on or
before April 14, 2016,
pending the appointment of
his replacement in Roxbury.
His contract runs through

June 30, 2019.
Tierney said in a recent
interview he is proud of his
accomplishments in Roxbury. Those include implementing
full-day
kindergarten and the One to
One Initiative, which provides Google Chrome
Books to every student and
staff member in grades
seven through 12. A concern about inconsistency in
reading and writing programs in Roxburys elementary schools motivated
him to bring in the Readers
and Writers Workshop
through Columbia University which provides consistency across the board in
those subjects. Also added

was the Math in Focus program in kindergarten
through fifth grade.
Forensics, literature in
sports and astronomy are
among the seven new electives introduced at the high
school under Tierney.
Tierney presided over
the years of playing catch
up with maintenance. After
13 out of 15 school budgets
were voted down, we
probably spent $15 million
upgrading the facilities, he
said. This included money
spent on new roofs, new
boilers and upgrades in
HVAC.
After paying our bills,
we had some money each
year to pour back into the
facilities, he explained.
He is going to a slightly
smaller district. Jefferson
has about 3,200 students
compared to 3,700 in Roxbury. Both districts have
seven school buildings, although the distribution of
grades is slightly different,
he said.
Roxbury wasnt the first
time he worked in Morris
County. Tierney was superintendent of the Rockaway
Borough schools and prin-
cipal of Thomas Jefferson

Middle School there. His
first administrative job was
as a vice principal of a
school in Clifton, followed
by one in Cedar Grove. He
started his career in Hackensack where he was a
teacher and coach and also
director of the alternative
program.
His teaching was in business education and special
ed. He also taught elementary school for one year. He
coached, at various times,
football, hockey, baseball
and softball.
Teaching wasnt his first

Succasunna Man Retires After Serving Soldiers for 39 Years
By Elsie Walker
hen William E. McCabe joined the Army National Guard in 1976 as a part time reservist, he
did not think it would be a career.
The Succasunna resident explained that he had joined
the Navy out of high school in 1972, but didnt finish his
hitch. Feeling bad about not meeting that commitment is
one thing that drew him into joining the Guard. Also, he
was young and had no direction in life.
I thought it would give me structure, he said. However, four years later, he said he fell into an opportunity
to become a full time federal civilian employee in the National Guard and took it, starting as an administrative supply technician. Last month, Sgt. 1st class E7 McCabe
retired after 39 years of service.
Recently, he reflected on the Army National Guard, on
the changes in it hes seen during his service, and on what
meant the most to him about his service: taking care of soldiers.
We serve two masters, said McCabe in describing the
reporting relationship to the state and to the president. The
National Guard is part of the state and when working for
it, their commander- in-chief is the governor. If called in
by the president, We become activated under the Army,
McCabe said. The president is then their commander-inchief
When he first started out, McCabe said that the National
Guard was blue suiters. They wore the blue shirts and
suits of federal employees. It was soon after he joined that
the Guard started wearing uniforms like the Army. The National Guard is a branch of the Army.
McCabe was stationed in a variety of areas around New
Jersey including Morristown, Riverdale, and Teaneck.
Hed commute from his home to his location each day. He
remembers stopping at the local 7-Eleven each morning for
coffee, dressed in his uniform. No one ever seemed to notice until after 9-11; then, things changed. He remembers
going into that 7-Eleven one morning and being approached by an elderly women who asked, are the solders
taking over the town? Hed come into the same 7-Eleven
every day, wearing his uniform, but now suddenly people
took notice, so did the Army.
After 9-11, McCabe said that the Army realized that in
the National Guard it had a diamond in the rough, a valuable asset. McCabe said that the Army started looking at
the National Guard differently. While they had seemed insignificant to the Army before this, now they had become
significant. The guard was like the relief pitcher for the
Army.
In reflecting on the memorable events during his service, a few things came to mind. McCabe remembered how
the Riverdale area was prone to flooding and how the National Guard helped out during those times. There were
snowstorms which made the roads impassable near Chilton

rable time was associated with what he
found most rewarding: helping soldiers.
It was something at which he excelled.
He was a problem-solver. McCabe was
never deployed, explaining that My leadership chose to keep me at what I did because I was good at it. McCabe even
turned down possible opportunities that

might have led to advancement. I turned
down assignments to be with my soldiers; I
love taking care of soldiers. His proudest
moment was spent fighting for a soldiers
family.
Before he retired, McCabe was a readi-

ness technician responsible for the organization of the entire unit, the senior NonCommissioned Officer. A solider nearing
retirement age contacted him inquiring
about the steps needed to be taken to officially retire. McCabe remembers that they
made an appointment for the soldier to meet
with him the following week to go through
the needed paperwork and make sure everything was done. The day before the appointment, the soldiers family contacted
McCabe. The soldier had passed away suddenly. The soldiers family didnt know
what to do; they needed his benefits, but he
had never officially retired.
McCabe would not let that be the end.
He did some digging into what could be
done to get the family what it deserved.
Then, he had the soldiers daughter bring in
the documentation needed and painstakingly went through the mountain of paperwork that was needed and had it sent off.
Due to a misstep on the receiving end, the
paperwork got misrouted/lost more than
once and had to be resent. Months and
months passed. However, McCabe assured
the family that he would not abandon the

case, and would continue to stay on it, even
if he got transferred elsewhere. He would
not rest until the family got what it deserved, which it did. He still remembers
the daughters appreciation that they were
not abandoned, but someone had cared.
When asked what advice he would give
to young adults thinking about joining the
military, McCabe was quick to say, Make
your service do something for you.
Another change McCabe has seen during his service is the evolving of civilian
National Guard into active military (AGR).
Hes seen young people not doing anything,
school or a job, apply for active duty. He
said he would counsel them to take advantage of the education the military would
give them. Take the benefits, get yourself
a trade, education, hed say.
For McCabe, it is clear that his heart for
his 39 years in the Army National Guard
was with his soldiers, as he selflessly took
care of them. That was his joy. It was
very rewarding to serve my soldiers and see
them grow and advance, he said.
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 Roxbury News readers, the stories
that took center stage included the efforts of
a 29-year old Roxbury High School alumnus who held a basketball tournament to
raise money for cancer research and awareness; church-going volunteers in Landing
who made Valentine cards to nursing home
residents and soldiers; the township celebrated 275 years; students district-wide
shaved heads to support cancer research, including the first girl in Roxburys annual
charity event; the district finished first year
of full-day kindergarten; the township
hosted first fistball tournament; township
police hosted a wiffle-ball tournament to
raise money for local boy diagnosed with
cancer; high school students slept out in
cardboard boxes at a local church to raise
awareness of homelessness; three teens
swam seven miles across Lake Hopatcong
to raise money for local brain tumor survivor; annual talent show of HOPE raised
money to help people locally and around the
world; gofundme page was set up to raise
money for RHS graduate suffering from
Lyme disease; 12-year old girl collected

food and necessities for those in need; community wore yellow to support a local preschooler with Spina Bifida; and third
graders collected and delivered food to local
police to support food pantry.
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.

Eisenhower Middle School Stem

Program Receives Grant
ast week JCP&L Area Manager,

Michael Obremskicheck presented
a check to Eisenhower Middle
School for their STEM program thanks to
the efforts of Denise Glenn, District Science supervisor 6-12, who wrote a grant
proposal entitled Watts Up?
Glenns winning proposal focuses on
energy usage and ways to reduce electrical
consumption. Students in the middle
school under the direction of STEM
teacher, Philip Moskowitz, will be participating in energy audits both in their classrooms and at home using WATT meters
purchased through this grant.
The goal of this initiative is to teach
students about Vampire appliances that
use energy even when they are turned off.
Together these devices account for up 20
percent of electrical bills. Students will
learn how to improve their homes energy
savings by identifying and unplugging energy vampires as well as research and

identify ways energy can be saved in the
schools.
Eisenhower Middle Schools STEM
program expanded this year to STEAM
education to cover science, technology, engineering, art, and math, which is now a
required eighth grade elective taught by
Moskowitz. Students are introduced to
concepts in these five categories through
hands-on project-based learning.
Follow the Eisenhower STEM Lab and
Eisenhower Maker Space pages on Facebook to learn more about the exciting projects going on in this class.
If local businesses and community
members would like to help this program
reach new heights, reach out to Moskowitz
(pmoskowitz@roxbury.org) or Glenn
(dglenn@roxbury.org).

Roxbury Mom
Hosts Campaign To Help Son
usan Varilias of Roxbury, owner of

Lazy Susan's Granola, has recently
initiated a campaign to fund a wheelchair accessible van for her son Louis who
has Muscular Dystrophy.
The link to the GoFundMe campaign is
https://www.gofundme.com/qa4kucfk.
"My son, Louis Varilias III is 26 years
old and has Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy, Varilias writes. He uses a wheelchair
for all his mobility. Louis is applying for a
PhD in psychology, has a job in marketing
and volunteers his time at a crisis hotline.
He needs a new wheelchair accessible van
to commute to his PhD program and, of
course, to get to is many doctor appointments throughout the year. Our current van
has almost 100,000 miles on it and needs
many expensive repairs. Louis gets anxious driving anywhere in it because if it
breaks down, he is left with no transportation. A new van would provide him the assurance of getting to his medical
appointments safely. And, since the PhD
program is a long distance commute, it will
also give him the ability to pursue his

dream of an academic career!
Louis faces so many challenges
throughout his day, she continues. I don't
want him to have to worry about safe transportation. We would be so grateful for any
assistance you can give.
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 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.

Garden State Yacht Club Enhances Recreation On Lake Hopatcong
or the past 60 years, area residents

have been members of the Garden
State Yacht Club, a member ownedand operated- club, in Hopatcong, where they
enjoy swimming, boating, tennis, dining,
dancing and more. While some members
live on the lake, the vast majority of members
come from nearby towns, including Livingston, Rockaway and Roxbury Townships.
Located on the west shore of beautiful
Lake Hopatcong, The GSYC is a private club
for all ages, offering a range of outdoor and
social activities for family and single members with Equity and Associate Memberships. While it hosts many events throughout
the year, the club offers a complete schedule
of daily activities during the summer season,
from Memorial Day to Labor Day.
Equity Members enjoy the whole complement of club events and facilities, taking full
advantage of the clubs recreational and social activities. These include the newly redecorated clubhouse, heated swimming pool,
tennis courts, childrens playground and dock
space for 55 boats. Social activities include
dinner and dancing, parties, deck dining, entertainment, lectures, and trips and other
events throughout the year.
New this year, the Associate Membership
is a non-ownership and value-priced alternative. Associate Members are entitled to the
use of the pool, locker rooms, tennis courts,
playground and optional dock slips, and
enjoy weekend poolside food service and the
frequent weekend poolside entertainment.
Whether outdoor interests run to tennis,
boating (power, sail, or kayaking), card
games, shuffleboard with the kids, or just re-
laxing, the Garden State Yacht Club has activities for everyone. In season, the pool is
open daily.
A boat is not needed to be a member of
the club. Members with boats are more than
happy to take others out on the lake. The marina hours are unlimited, with ample lighting
for evening boating. A convenient tram provides transportation from the rear of the clubhouse to lakeside. The mens and womens
locker rooms, with showers and well-appointed dressing areas, make it easy to spend
the entire day and evening at the club.
Children are, of course, welcomed! There
is a playground with swings and climbing apparatus. Children of all ages are permitted in
the pool, which has a special, roped-off toddlers area, with easy step access and shallow
depth. Even infants not yet toilet-trained are
permitted, provided that they wear waterproof diapers.
Equity Members participate in club activities throughout the year. In addition to the
New Years Eve party, they enjoy Super
Bowl Sunday, a Valentines Dance, Halloween Party, and Theater Parties, cabarets
and comedy nights.
Summer weekends for Equity Members
begin with Friday night entertainment that
varies from jazz concerts to wine tastings.
Saturday nights are the time for dining, dancing, theme parties, and entertainment. Sunday evening is capped off with a poolside
barbeque, which is also open to Associate
Members.
In season, activities for Equity Members
are scheduled for Tuesday and Thursday
evenings, with ladies luncheons every Tues-

Free Seminar - Lets Take A Look At Long Term Care
ovember is Long-term Care Awareness Month a month dedicated to

educating the public about the need
to prepare for the potentially significant costs
of long-term care. And the more you know
about these expenses, the better prepared you
will be to deal with them.
To begin, just how expensive is long-term
care? Consider this: The average cost for a
private room in a nursing home is more than
$87,000 per year, according to the 2014 Cost
of Care Survey produced by Genworth, a financial services company.
And the average cost of an assisted living
facility, which provides a level of care that is
not as extensive as that offered by a nursing
home, is $42,000 per year, according to the
same Genworth study. All long-term care
costs have risen steadily over the past several
years, with no indication they will level off.
Many people, when they think about longterm care at all, believe that Medicare will
pay these costs but thats just not the case.
Typically, Medicare only covers a small percentage of long-term care expenses, which
means you will have to take responsibility for
the rest. Of course, if you are fortunate, you
may go through life without ever needing to
enter a nursing home or an assisted living facility, or even needing help from a home
health-care aide. Given the costs involved,

can you afford to jeopardize your financial
independence or, even worse, impose a
potential burden on your grown children?
To prevent these events, you will need to
create a strategy to pay for long-term care expenses even if you never incur them. Basically, you have two options: You could
self-insure, or you could transfer the risk to
an insurer.
If you are going to self-insure, you will
need to set aside a considerable sum of
money, as indicated by the costs mentioned
above. If you choose this self-insurance route
but never really need a significant amount of
long-term care, you could simply use the bulk
of the money for your normal living expenses
during retirement and earmark the remainder
for your estate. However, if you were to need
many years of nursing home care, you could
end up going through all your money.
As an alternative, you could transfer the
risk of paying for long-term care to an insurance company. Many plans are available
these days, so to find the choice that is appropriate for your needs, you will want to consult
with a professional financial advisor. Heres
a word of caution, though: The premiums for
this type of protection rise pretty rapidly as
you get older. Therefore, if you are consider-

Roxbury Parks And Recreation Director Retires From "Best Community Ever"
By Ejvind Boccolini
he Parks and Recreation Director for
Roxbury, who is retiring after 36
years of service, is showing gratitude
for the community in which he worked, and
complementing the people who helped
make it such a good experience for him.
Dave Stierli, who was appointed recreation director in 1982 and worked for the
township since 1979, is retiring in February.
Stierli, who is looking forward to traveling the states and spending time with his
grandson, has only great things to say about
the community.
Stierli said his "greatest memory is being
part of the construction of Imagination Station Playground Build at the Horseshoe
Lake Complex in 1991, and with the new
Imagination Station Playground in 2010,
when our community came together to build
the playground in five days."
"It was a great experience," he said.
He added that approximately 300 people
came together each day to build it for the
children.
"Special thanks to all the people that
helped with this," he said.
Stierli also noted that Horseshoe Lake in
Roxbury has been rated 13th in the nation

by Coca Cola, and said he is thankful that
the residents took time to vote for the township park. He said it "showed pride in our
community and our park."
The Township Council and the Recreation Advisory Committee has spent many
hours planning the Horseshoe Lake Complex and the Parks Department has done a
great job in the maintenance of the park,
keeping it clean and well-maintained," he
said.
Stierli said the township is able to have
many special events like the St. Therese
Carnival, Puptoberfest, Barbecue Beach
Blast, concerts and tournaments like the
Roxbury Soccer Club Kickoff Classic and
the Morris County Baseball Tournament.
Stierli, who has an undergraduate degree
in Recreation from Kean University, and
masters in leisure services from Florida
State University, said his advice to his successor is to "be fair and consistent with
everyone and try to provide recreational opportunities, parks, (and) trails that people
can enjoy."
"Roxbury is such a great town with so
many nice families and people," he said,
adding that he is now looking forward to

spending time with his new grandson and
doing some traveling throughout the U.S.
Stierli said he feels fortunate to have his
job, because, "I enjoyed every day, working
with volunteers, coaches, residents, working
with the Senior Citizen Clubs, Dial-a-Ride
program and with Public Assistance."
He said he also enjoyed working with the
other township employees and the recreation and parks staff. He mentioned Kathy
Boesner, Sandie DiDomenico, Dave Ward,
and Bob Stark, and many other people over
the years, such as Claudia Murden who retired after 25 years.
Stierli said the township manager Chris
Raths and township council have been great
to work with and so supportive of the recreation program, parks and trails.
He also said Township Council-member
Fred Hall, the recreation liaison, has been
instrumental with the Recreation Advisory
Committee in the planning of Township
Park Facilities. He added that they had a vision, and with the town manager/township
council support, they completed many improvements like the new Landing Park
Recreation Complex and the turf field at the
high school.
Stierli mentioned that working with Stu
Mason, Roxbury Athletic Director, as well
as with the high school coaches, was great.
"They are so supportive of the recreation
programs and the children of Roxbury," he
said.
He thanks the seasonal employees that he
worked with over the 36 years, and noted
that he stays in touch with a lot of them.
Some now have children in the recreation
program now "which is a neat thing."
Stierli, who lives in Port Morris Section
of Roxbury Township, grew up in Roxbury
and has lived there his entire life.
I am so fortunate to be able to have
worked for the best community ever and the
nicest people you could ever meet.
In this town, if someone is need, other
people will be there to help you," he continued.

of the township website and can be viewed

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 nonprofit, 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.
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 residents 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 forced to
live with child molesters.
One of her houses is for all older
women, some in wheelchairs, others with
oxygen. Nobody will take them.
Many of the women and children her organization helps 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.
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 or
hold it. We just really need someone to
help.
To make a donation or to help, call
Ramos at 973-831-0898.

Jefferson Student Receives

Military Surprise From Big Sister
Third grader Bianca Jackson, Salome Tsimintia, Maya Jackson and Barry Jackson. Photos courtesy of Roxbury Public Schools
hird grader Bianca Jackson at Jefferson Elementary School had Christmas

come a little early this year after opening a huge surprised wrapped gift that was
rolled into her cafeteria on Friday. This surprise turned out to be big sister, Salome Tsimintia, whos been away at Army Basic
Training for the past few months.
Tsimintia, a recent graduate of Roxbury
High School came up with the scheme after
watching some YouTube videos of military
personnel coming home and surprising their
families.
I saw how emotional it was and how
happy they all were, so I tried to do the same
thing, and I pretty much lied to them and told
them I wasnt coming home for Christmas
and that stuff got changed around, said
Tsimintia.
This quick undertaking took skill, communication and cunning lies to make happen.
Unfortunately, her friends and parents both
in the dark, assuming Tsimintia wouldnt be
coming home for the holidays, didnt leave
many other options to pull off the big surprise.
With limited possibilities, Tsimintia got
the idea to enlist her former high school guidance counselor, Carissa Barbolini as the logical person to help her set this whole thing up.
I knew my guidance counselor from high
school, she said. She was trustworthy and
I liked her very much. She always helped me
out so I decided to get in contact with her
whenever I got the chance. She made this
whole thing happen for me.
Barbolini worked with Jefferson Schools

Principal Melissa Cosgrove and guidance
counselor, Ashley Cicchino behind the scenes
to surprise Bianca and her parents. The little
white lies continued as Cicchino made up
stories to get Biancas parents, Barry and
Maya Jackson to the school. She told them
that Bianca was to receive a gift and something about a charity.
The big reveal day was finally here.
Biancas name was called and she was
brought to the front of the cafeteria with her
parents waiting, camera ready, and was told
that her gift would be rolled in momentarily.
Bianca lifted off the box and afterwards
said, When I first saw her I got amazed and
then when I hugged her I started crying.
With such an emotional unveiling for all,
Tsimintia said seeing my little sister, it just
hit home. This heartfelt homecoming for
these two was just icing on the cake. Dont
forget mom and dad werent expecting this
either and as soon as Maya Jackson saw her
daughter, she enthusiastically screamed, Are
you kidding me? and come over and shared
in the tearful embraces with dad, still a little
stunned making his way over.
Tsimintias friends, whom she surprised
the night before came for the big unveiling as
well. Being home for only a short time,
everyone is trying to spend as much time
with her as possible.
After the holidays, Tsimintias to report
back to the U.S. Army and expects to graduate in late January before likely being deployed to destination unknown.
Three Eagle Scout Awards

Presented To Succasunna Scouts
ecently, Troop 159 in Succasunna

held its first Eagle Ceremony honoring three Scouts at once! Nicholas
Sherman, Daniel Chadourne, and David
Barnes were recognized at a ceremony at

Redeemer Lutheran Church. These Scouts
of Troop 159 completed an impressive colcontinued on next page
Three Eagle Scout..

lection of service projects, leadership roles
and merit badges in order to earn the Eagle
rank. Since the inception of the Eagle Scout
Award in 1912, only 2.01 percent of eligible
Scouts have earned Scoutings highest
honor.
Sherman has earned 26 merit badges as
a boy scout. He has served as troop webmaster since 2011 and as Order of the
Arrow troop representative; was awarded a
Bronze Palm for having earned five merit
badges past the 21 required for the rank of
Eagle; he achieved Brotherhood in Order of
the Arrow and has twice been awarded the
Gold SERV award for volunteer work and
received the Pope Pius XII Award.
Sherman continues to be active in scouting as Troop Webmaster, a member of the
Boy Scout Jazz Ensemble, and an appointed member of the Patriots Path Council Youth Executive Committee. For his
Eagle Service Project, he created a Lab of
Inquiry at Eisenhower Middle School
where he transformed a former media center into a place where students could explore educational topics that they could not
otherwise do within the traditional classroom. He created five separate areas involving STEM related topics and team building
activities: a chess area; lego, robotic area;
computer, study, foreign language work station; a team building activities area; and
one for games, brain teasers, analytical
thinking manipulatives.
Chadourne has earned 30 merit badges
as a boy scout. He enjoyed the many camping trips and summer camp at both Camp
Somers and Camp Winnebago, working on
many of his merit badges, including all
three of the shooting sports badges. Challenging himself to earn the cycling merit
badge, this badge required 150 miles of cycling spread out over seven separate rides
including a single 50 mile timed ride.
Chadourne has held many leadership positions in the troop including Scribe, Assistant Patrol Leader, Patrol Leader, Troop
Guide, and Troop Instructor. He was elected

to the Order of the Arrow in 2013, participates in the Boy Scout Band performing in
town parades and visits to area nursing
homes providing cheerful music to residents. For his Eagle project, Chadourne refurbished the Beach Volley Courts at
Horseshoe Lake. He obtained 50 tons of
new sand for both courts donated by
County Concrete. He repaired the PVC
Pipe outlining the courts, repositioned the
nets, repaired and painted two benches and
designed and built a new scoreboard for
each court. This past summer Daniel began
to give back to scouting by working as a
Den leader at Camp Wheeler.
Barnes has earned 32 merit badges as a
boy scout. He participated in summer camp
at both Camp Somers and Winnebago
where he earned most of his merit badges.
He achieved significant awards and training
as a Boy Scout such as the World Conservation Award, EDGE Training, Order of the
Arrow and NYLT training.
He served at many leadership positions

including Librarian, Patrol Leader, Senior
Patrol Leader, and Junior Assistant Scoutmaster. Daniel has been a member of the
Boy Scout Band since fifth grade. At the
Patriots Path Council level, he has been a
National Youth Leadership Training Staff
member for the past two years. As his Eagle
Scout Project, David renovated the Roxbury High School Marching Band equipment bus from an empty bus with no seats
to a bus with enough carpeted shelves to securely hold all of the instruments without
them moving around. This bus is used to
transport instruments from Roxbury High
School to different Marching Band competitions as well as away football games.
David continues to look forward to participating in Scouting activities of Troop 159
and mentoring younger Scouts and to continue his NYLT staffing opportunities next
summer.
