Developing Emerging Readers At Mendham Borough Library

By Anastasia Marchese
here is an ongoing
initiative at the
Mendham Borough
Library called 1,000
Books Before Kindergarten.
The idea behind the pro-

gram is to get preschoolers


to develop an early love of
reading by exposing them
to many different books and
to offer them positive reading experiences. According
to the 1,000 Books website
The Foundation is oper-

ated exclusively for charitable, literary, and educational


purposes. The objectives of
this organization are: to promote reading to newborns,
infants, and toddlers and to
encourage parent and child
bonding through reading.
The research is overwhelming; reading with
very young children has
lifelong literacy benefits.
According to the American
Academy of Pediatrics
Reading regularly with
young children stimulates
optimal patterns of brain development and strengthens
parent-child relationships at
a critical time in child development, which, in turn,
builds language, literacy,
and social-emotional skills
that last a lifetime.
That is why Amanda
Ort, the Head of Youth
Services at The Mendham
Borough Library, is pleased
to offer the 1,000 Books
program at her library. So
far there have been about 20
children participants. Children can join at any point.

Each child who signs up


will receive a pamphlet
with pictures of 25 ducks on
it. Each time the child completes a book, they can
mark off one of the ducks.
After the first 25 books, the
child will receive a rubber
duckie as a prize. Once they
reach 500 books read, the

child will receive a Mendham Borough Library teeshirt with the phrase If you
would like to be a leader,
you have to be a reader.
Once the child reaches
the 1,000 books goal, they
will be invited to the celebration event at which the
child will be the recipient of

a golden duck trophy. The


recent 1,000 Books celebration was televised on
Mendham Television.
Parents and caregivers
may be wondering if the
child needs to read/hear
1,000 different books. Anyone who has read to chilcontinued on page 4

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.

Emerging Readers...
continued from front page
dren will know that children enjoy the comforting repetition of hearing the same book
over and over again.
Every book counts, and you can repeat
them, says Ort. As a child, my favorite
book was If you give a Moose a Muffin,
and I still love it. I remember reading it over
and over again.
The duck tally charts can be brought in
whenever it is convenient. According to
Ort, some parents bring them in on a
weekly basis, while others hold on to them
over a few months and bring them in at
once.

For parents wanting to take part, it is


easy to sign up in person at the library. April
is the perfect time, because this month the
library is taking part in the Step into a
Story program, in which 27 libraries in
Morris County are taking part. Each library
is decorating library spaces based on specific books or authors. Mendham Borough
turned part of the library into Dr. Seuss
land. More information about childhood literacy and tips for reading with children can
be found online at www.1000booksbeforekindergarten.org . On the website there
is also a large list of suggested books to
read with children ages five and under.

world?

The rabbi will examine specific Kabbalistic texts and address how Jewish principles
apply to them.
We will talk about how revolutionary
Kabbalah in the Middle Ages was in the eyes
of rabbinic Judaism, and where it differed
from traditional approaches, he points out.
We will go through portions of Kabbalistic
texts, relating them back to the Torah and
showing how they are connected and how
they seem to vary from the Torah. In addition, he notes, We will reveal how Kabbalistic influences created parts of the prayer

book that we read weekly. Most readers are


unaware of the Kabbalistic influence, origin
or intent of these now familiar prayers.
This engaging series will present a new
view of Jewish sources and give people lots
to think about.
A master storyteller, Biller brings a fresh,
bright outlook to Judaism's traditional texts
and specializes in counseling Jews of all ritual levels looking to find meaning in both
modern life and rich Jewish traditions.
Preregistration is required. To preregister,

Childhood Insomnia

nsomnia, or trouble falling asleep or staying asleep, is largely thought of as an adult


problem. But children can suffer from insomnia as well, and that can prove disruptive
for the entire family. Children who do not receive an adequate amount of sleep can feel
tired and irritable, and may have difficulty
concentrating in school. Many factors can
contribute to the onset of childhood insomnia. Kids, just like adults, can suffer from
stress, which then manifests itself as worry
or an overactive mind at night, says the

Cleveland Clinic. Depression, anxiety, pain,


or other medical problems also may be the
catalyst for insomnia. While common insomnia medications used in adults are not approved for children, there are steps parents
can take. A solid bedtime routine, including
consistent bedtimes and wake times, can help
combat child insomnia. Try to identify stressors and remedy them as well. In some instances, a pediatrician or therapist may be
needed to help a child work through sleep-related issues.

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

local individuals and families who are


ALICE -Asset Limited, Income Constrained,
Employed- living paycheck to paycheck and
struggling to afford the basics.
This is a singular opportunity to meet
like-minded women who care about using
their influence to change lives and communities for the better, said council associate
director Michele Dreiblatt.
Schroff, author of An Invisible Thread,
was chosen as the keynote speaker, Dreiblatt
said, as an example of the positive impact
women can have in their communities. The
book, which stayed on the New York Times
Best Seller List for 39 weeks, tells the true
story of how Schroff helped change the
course of a young boys life. Schroff, who
will sign copies of her book at the breakfast,
has won numerous awards and shared her inspiring story alongside Archbishop Desmond
Tutu, former First Lady Laura Bush and bestselling author Malcolm Gladwell.
Laura Schroff is a model for how women
can be a philanthropic force in our state,
Dreiblatt said. When we join together we
have the potential to improve life not only for
our most vulnerable families, but for all of

us.
Attendees will also learn about the Council, a 130-member strong United Way philanthropic womens group. Throughout the
year, members are engaged in volunteer,
fundraising and advocacy efforts to help the
regions ALICE population attain financial
stability.
Across the northern New Jersey region,
spanning Morris, Somerset, Suburban Essex,
Sussex and Warren counties, a total of 27 percent of households qualify as ALICE or in
poverty, according to United Way research.
Proceeds from the breakfast will go toward three United Way scholarship programs
that seek to remove the barriers that keep
ALICE and those in poverty from achieving
their potential. Through these scholarships,
child care educators can access professional
development opportunities, families can afford quality child care, and adults can pursue
post-secondary education.
Tickets for the event are $70. For more information about the event or the Council,

MUA Reaches Record Mark In Discarded Tires, Many Found In Mt. Olive

orris Countys mosquito control


crews this winter passed the
60,000 mark in the collection of
illegally discarded or abandoned tires,
which are found mostly in difficult-to-getto wooded and swampy areas in all sections of the county, creating perfect
breeding grounds for millions of mosquitoes that wreak havoc on picnics and baseball games and walks through nature in
Morris County each year.
That total of 60,346 and counting dates
back to 2001 when the tire collection program began, in concert with the Morris
County Municipal Utilities Authority,
which helps with disposal of piles of tires
found each year.
The best offense is a good defense, so
crews spent the winter collecting discarded, abandoned tires, which are a favorite breeding ground for mosquitoes,
said Kris McMorland, Director of the Morris County Division of Mosquito Control.
Tires have been collected at some 1,200
locations in 37 of the countys 39 towns
over the past decade. The most have been
found in Rockaway Township, Mt. Olive
and Jefferson.
The people who discard tires dont do
any of us humans a favor, though they certainly are the friends of mosquitoes who
love those tires, added McMorland.
They provide a great breeding habitat for
mosquitoes because they hold water, are
nice and dark, plus they heat up pretty
well."
Mosquitoes can breed by the tens of

thousands in just one illegally discarded


tire, McMorland said.
We strongly encourage residents not to
illegally discard tires for environmental
and aesthetic reasons and, of course, to prevent mosquito infestation, said Freeholder
John Cesaro, who is the county governing
boards liaison to the Mosquito Control Division. Please, do the right thing. Find the
proper way to get rid of your old tires, he
added.
Starting in the late fall and early winter
and continuing into March each year, a
small team of county mosquito control
crews on foot and all-terrain vehicles and
trucks head into the backwoods and
swamps, wade into rivers, and patrol along
roadsides to find and remove discarded
tires as a first line of defense against mosquito-borne viruses.
Removing abandoned or illegally
dumped tires not only helps reduce mosquito levels and the threat of West Nile
virus, but improves environmental quality, said McMorland.
County residents should check with
their towns to see if tires are accepted at
local recycling centers. If not, the MUA accepts old tires on Saturdays only at the Parsippany Transfer Station (Not the Mount
Olive transfer station). The cost is $200 per
ton or about $2 for each car tire or $8 for a
set of four car tires, off the rim. Some
towns will accept a limited number of tires
for free and others charge, so you should
check with your individual town about
costs.

To check for rules about using the MUA


transfer
station
please

scroll to the bottom). Residents should call


the MUA at 973-285-8389 to get more and
accurate information.

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

In June Primary

he growing momentum behind Republican Jim Gannons campaign for

enforcement came from his father, who was
NYPD detective. Gannon graduated Boonton High School where he played multiple
sports and also was a member of the Boonton Township Fire Service.
Gannon earned his associates degree in

law enforcement from County College of


Morris in 1981 and his bachelors degree in

Thomas Edison His Hallmark Of Personal Success A Super Garage

By Michele Guttenberger
he hallmark of every successful businessman is to own a family mansion
and to have a state of the art garage.
Thomas Edison had both.
His Glenmont estate home in West Orange that he purchased in 1886 was the decorating and design concept of the former
owner Henry C Pedder. However, Edisons
garage was his own innovative design and
creation that he built in 1908. Edison oversaw
the construction himself because it was an
entirely new creation in building construction.
Building his private garage helped him to
launch his new business venture a patented
technique of constructing mass-produced,
poured-cement houses using iron molds. His
garage and the original Yankee stadium became the same cement poured by his own
Edison Portland Cement company.
Since Thomas Edison was in the vehicle
battery business, he owned electric cars. And
in 1908 his garage included battery charging
stations for them. Edison invented the alkaline storage battery in 1901 and spent years

perfecting it for use in automobiles. Edison


also had a gasoline filling pump in his garage
for his 1922 Model T Ford a gift from his
good friend Henry Ford.
The awesome custom feature of Edisons
Garage is the car turntable to help park his
vehicles. A hand crank rotated the resting car
to a desired parking position. The driver
never had to struggle backing the car into a
spot, the turntable did the navigating.
The garage helped turn Edison into an involved family man too. The garage gave him
the liberty to tinker with his sons Theodore
and Charles on home built motorized projects. At the age of 10, Charles Edison, future
governor of NJ, built with his dad a workable
vehicle from a two cycle marine engine and
a drive belt.
Today the garage houses a 1911 Detroit
Electric, a 1914 Detroit Electric, a 1922 Ford
Model T, a 1908 Locomobile and a 1936
Brewster. The garage is available for public
viewing by reservation.
The Glenmont Estate is also part of the
National Historic Park in West Orange accessible by visiting the factory Lab visitor center

for the schedule and reservation car and ticket


passes. It is located inside the private residential Llewellyn Park community. Visit website
for more info https://www.nps.gov/edis/
planyourvisit/basicinfo.htm.
Those who are fascinated by this legendary man and his garage can participate in

a fundraiser hosted by the Friends of Thomas


Edison National Historic Park Your
Spring Tune Up Cocktail Party which is set
for Thurs., May 19, at the garage. For further
information and to purchase online tickets

Cook Up a Mothers Day to Remember

others Day is a time for wining,


dining and celebrating moms
everywhere. Make this Mothers
Day one to remember by hosting a special
brunch get-together for the special ladies in
your life.
Although quality time together is the true
purpose of the day, you can add some special
touches to help create a one-of-a-kind brunch
to share old memories while you make new
ones.
Plan your tablescape. Colorful, fragrant flowers and luxurious linens make your everyday
table shine. Use plates in complementing
shades and sparkling glassware for an elegant
touch. If you have room, add personal
touches to the centerpiece, such as mementoes from shared trips or small picture frames
with pictures of the two of you through the
years.
Prepare a sophisticated menu. Give a nod
to the importance of the day with dishes that
are a step above standard brunch fare. A
richly flavored entree such as this Spring
Vegetable and Chevre Tart looks elegant but
is surprisingly easy to make. For a cohesive
spread, remember to give the basics a boost,
too, such as a homemade flavored whipped
butter.
Offer a gift with meaning. To truly elevate
the occasion, serve (or gift) your mom with
a deliciously meaningful wine, such as Cambria Benchbreak Chardonnay or Pinot Noir
from the famed Santa Maria bench in Santa
Barbara County. Cambria is a family-owned
winery that believes in honoring women

be slightly golden on fried side and a little
runny and soft in the middle.
Finally, put omelet on plate and add garnish before serving.

Abilities Celebrates
Autism Awareness Month In April

bilities of Northwest Jersey, Inc., an


agency that has assisted individuals
with disabilities since 1974, placing
more than 600 people into supported employment, is celebrating Autism Splash!, a
series of informational and awareness-raising events in April, which is national Autism
Awareness Month.
Abilities recently introduced ACES
(Autism Customized Employment & Services). Abilities ACES team of supports includes Board Certified Behavioral Analysts
(BCBA), Registered Behavioral Technicians
(RBT), Direct Support Professionals, Employment Specialists, and Occupational
Therapists. This team of professionals will
assess the individual needs of those with
Autism Spectrum Disorder in order to create
a customized support plan that will lead to
independence, community integration and
employment.
Every ACES participant has his or her
own customized program, because every
autistic person is unique, said Agency Behavior Analyst Kelly Gansarski. We often
say that if youve seen one person with

autism, youve seen one person with autism.


ACES respects the individuality that each of
our participants possess and designs a plan
specific to their needs. Gansarski and fellow Abilities behavior analyst Ileana Aledo
plan to host two ACES/autism informational
sessions, April 26, from 9 a.m. to noon; and
April 28 from 4 p.m.-6 p.m.
A March, 2014 Centers for Disease Control (CDC) report stated that one in 68 American children has Autism Spectrum Disorder
(ASD), and that number has steadily increased in recent years. New Jersey has the
highest autism rates in the United States,
with one in 45, and one in 28 boys. The national rate marks an increase of 30 percent
from the previous one in 88 statistic. This
trend indicates a growing need for vocational
support services to assist people with ASD
in finding suitable vocational opportunities,
a responsibility that Abilities ACES addresses.
For more information about Autism
Splash!, ACES or any Abilities program,
contact Abilities at (908)689-1118 or by
email at info@abilitiesnw.com.

The gardens at Macculloch Hall were planted in 1810 by
the first residents, George and Louisa Macculloch (17751858, 1785-1863, respectively), and have been in continuous
cultivation for more than 200 years. Cultivars in the historic
gardens include the wisteria trellised along the rear porch,
which was given to the Macculloch family by Commodore
Matthew Perry in 1857; the sassafras tree at the far end of the
lawn, believed to be the second oldest and largest sassafras
tree in New Jersey; and heirloom roses, with cultivars dated
before 1920. One rose, known only as the Old Macculloch
Hall Rose, likely dates to the earliest part of the gardens history.
Today, the landscaped grounds are planted for seasonal
bloom: daffodils, tulips, and other bulbs welcome spring, followed by the historic wisteria in May, roses in June, dahlias
in August, and a selection of perennials throughout the summer and fall. The grounds also feature a large kitchen garden,
comprising four beds, which serves as an outdoor classroom.
Planted with herbs and tomatoes, this garden is a fitting tribute to George Macculloch, who is believed to have grown the
first tomato recorded in NJ in 1829.
