Animal Author To Sign Copies Of New Book About

Pet Therapy Dog At Local Pet Store
By J. L. Shively
he story of Bentley, a Cavalier King Charles Spaniel
and beloved pet therapy dog, is sure to warm the hearts
of animal lovers everywhere.
Written by local animal author, Loren Spiotta-DiMare and
collaborated with Bentleys owner and Cavalier King Charles
Spaniel breeder, Diane Zdrodowski, the childrens picture
book Because of Bentley explores the special life of a small
dog who made a big difference.
Spiotta-DiMare grew up in Short Hills and was surrounded by animals such as a dog, a few rabbits, some parakeets and goldfish. Spiotta-DiMare even recalls ponies near
her local school stating, I often ran through the woods to
visit them.
Beginning to take riding lessons at age seven and then
owning her first dog at age 10 it is no wonder that SpiottaDiMare began publishing her works about animals even as
young as 19. Bentley author recalls her favorite authors as
a child were dog and horse stories written by authors such as
Marguerite Henry, author of classics such as Misty of Chincoteague and Walter Farley, famous for his Black Stallion
series.
Now living in Tewksbury, Spiotta-DiMare draws her inspiration from her own menagerie at home, including her loving quarter horse, Elwood, who appeared on the cover of her
book Therapy Horses. With all the animals that surround
her it is no surprise Spiotta-DiMare has stated in a press release that theres no lack of inspiration around here.
Bentley is the story of Zdrodowskis journey with her
Blenheim (chestnut red and white) spaniel when she first
brought him home knowing from the beginning there was
something special about Bentley, as stated in the opening of
the book.
The story of how Bentley was trained hands on with
Zdrodowski and eventually taken to pass a test for therapy
work unfolds, colorfully illustrated by Jude Delaney.
Zdrodowski is stated in the book as saying, Bentley seemed
to want to be a therapy dog not all dogs do.
Indeed Bentley touched the hearts of many as his legacy
is told of helping children from a sick girl inspired to draw
again to a young boy speaking his first words in months to
Bentley, all because of the awesome love Bentley showed
them all.
The inspiration for Bentleys story arose when Spiotta-DiMare was doing research for a reference book on Cavalier
King Charles Spaniels. In her research, Spiotta-DiMare met
Bentleys owner, Zdrodowski, who was an established Cavalier breeder by that time. Spiotta-DiMare recalls that when

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 Black River News readers, the stories that took center stage included Chester
Borough and the township ran a contest to
honor random acts of kindness week; a
robot helped a Black River Middle School
student attend school remotely; local boys
scouts cleaned up Liberty State Park; another group of scouts cleaned up the Raritan
River during Earth Day; police departments
hold charity softball game to help seven
month old boy born with rare disease; local
family volunteered with Beyond the Walls
and traveled to Guatemala to help people
living in a garbage dump; Washington Twp.
was ranked second safest town in NJ; 15year old Long Valley girl donated arts and
crafts for children in hospital; Long Valley
man grows second largest pumpkin in NJ
history; Washington Twp. Library froze
fines to collect food for local pantry; local
resident helped remodel a home in Independence Twp. for a family in need featured
on NBCs George The Rescue; two ninth
graders donated food to local pantry; a
wreath fundraiser was held to also help fill

pantry shelves.
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.

Family Farm Donates Proceeds

From Eye-Catching Corn Maze To Seeing Eye Foundation
By Ashley Bouwense
ith winter here, fall displays at
local farms have long been taken
down. But proceeds from efforts
made to reach out to help worthy causes will
linger on such as the remarkable display at
Ort Farms in Long Valley this year.
For those who got a peak at the corn maze
display this year at Ort Farms, what a sight it
was to see. The popular, family-owned farm
known for its fun activities such as hay rides,
pumpkin picking and giant stacks of hay barrels for climbing, donated $5,000 to The Seeing Eye Wed., Dec. 2 after a successful fall
2015 season.
Ort Farms reached its goal through the
money they received from their corn maze
and through contributions from the Long Valley Brew Pub, co-sponsors and the farms donation drop box. The maze was designed in
the shape of a dog alongside his owners leg,
with the text The Seeing Eye.
The Seeing Eye is a non-profit organization located in Morristown. Its mission is to
enhance the independence, dignity and selfconfidence of people who are blind through
the use of specially-trained Seeing Eye dogs.
Last winter, I overheard my father-in-law
talk about his time volunteering with The
Seeing Eye, said Ort Farms Market Manager Nicole Ort-Moke, and the idea popped
into my head to help this great organization
with our annual corn maze.
Moke contacted The Seeing Eye in April
about the idea, and the organization completely supported it.
The corn was planted early June and was
cut in August. The maze designer plowed
through the eight acres of corn using a zeroturn mower, controlled by GPS. Despite the
mazes large size and intricate design, it took
the machine merely two hours to finish the
project.
Thousands of farm-goers went through
the maze this season. The entrance fee was
$6 per person, and Seeing Eye puppy raisers
and 4H Puppy Club members entered at a
discounted price. The mazes exciting Flash-
light Nights were a particular fan-favorite,

which were held through the month of October.
In addition to the corn maze promotion,
Ort Farms invited trainers from The Seeing

Eye to perform demonstrations and have
Touch a Puppy days. These events facilicontinued on page 8

Advisory Board is an exclusive program
comprised of 13 student leaders from
around the country selected through a competitive national application process. The
National Youth Advisory Board gives
young volunteers an opportunity to take a
larger leadership role in the organization,
which encourages youth to collect donations through schools, places of worship
and businesses and donate 100 percent of
their collection to a local charity of their
choice.
I have really enjoyed my time serving
on the National Youth Advisory Board,
Turk Moran said. It has really opened my
eyes on how to get my beliefs out there to
people.
In addition to coordinating Souper Bowl
of Caring drives, members are expected to
serve as a youth spokesperson for the organization with local and national media,
connect with other youth leaders interested
in making a difference, grow the organizations effort in their community and offer
feedback and guidance to the Souper Bowl
of Caring staff.
As students of West Morris Mendham
High School, the Morans became involved
with Souper Bowl of Caring through their
church, First Presbyterian Hilltop Church.
The Morans are very passionate about community service projects and both hope to be
able to fight hunger in their community.
I am trying to create a movement that
starts first at school and then evolves into a
community-wide effort based in local businesses, Elizabeth said. I do not want this
to be a one-time event; I want people to realize what a major impact they are making
by just donating one dollar, the equivalent
of three meals.
Other states represented on the board include Arizona, Kentucky, Louisiana, Mississippi, North Carolina, South Carolina
and Texas.
Souper Bowl of Caring started with one
church youth group in South Carolina in
1990 when Minister Brad Smith prayed,
Lord, even as we enjoy the Super Bowl
football game, help us be mindful of those
without even a bowl of soup to eat. From
that prayer, Souper Bowl of Caring was
born and more than $110 million has been
raised nationwide.
In 2015, 6,600 organizations collected
more than $8 million nationwide and every
penny went to local organizations that help
people in need.

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.

Ramos at 973-831-0898.
Acupuncture For Pain Relief
Common Causes Of Poor Vision
ave you read recently, the CDC wants to limit

the amount of opiates that doctors can prescribe
for pain. The amount of people becoming addicted to pain meds has increased dramatically, as have
deaths due to overdoses, hence the CDC has stepped in.
But there is good news! Increasingly, people are looking
for more natural approaches to help relieve painful conditions instead of becoming addicted to prescription
drugs. Acupuncture has been used for over 5,000 years
for all types of pain regardless of where the pain is. Over
the many years of treating patients, Acupuncture has
helped hundreds of my patients, even those who were
told they would have to live with the pain for the rest of
their lives.
MRIs of the brain before and after Acupuncture treat-
ision loss is a common condition, as the World

Health Organization notes that more than 285
million people across the globe suffer some type
of visual impairment. Many people can effectively
counter their vision problems with prescription lenses, but
others may have a more significant issue, such as low vision.
The Kellogg Eye Center defines low vision as a reduced level of vision that cannot be fully corrected with
conventional glasses. Those with low vision have some
useful sight and are not considered completely blind.
However, low vision can interfere with performance of
daily activities, and some people with this condition are
classified as legally blind.
Symptoms of low vision include difficulty recognizing

ments clearly shows dramatic decreases in brain activityup to 70%, which is indicative of the reduction of
their pain. Acupuncture has been shown to trigger the
release of endorphins and enkephalins, chemicals with
pain relieving properties. Other theories propose that
Acupuncture needles jam the neuronal pathways and prevent pain signals from reaching the brain. Additionally,
Acupuncture also causes an increase in the healing
process by increasing blood circulation to an injured area
thereby attracting white blood cells.
According to Chinese Medicine, pain is caused by an
obstruction of Qi or energy in the many meridians or
channels we all have throughout our body. Acupuncture
breaks up the obstruction and gets the Qi or energy flowing again so the body can do what it is meant to do,
objects at a distance or problems with differentiating colors. Yet, not everyone dealing with these symptoms has
low vision. Specialized testing can determine if a person
has low vision or another condition.
Many conditions can impact sight and contribute to vision loss. Heres a look at some of the more common
ones.
Glaucoma: A person with glaucoma may gradually
lose peripheral vision. Early symptoms, such as a subtle
loss of contrast, may be unnoticeable. Eventually, glaucoma may cause tunnel vision, which occurs when a person can only see through a small window.
Macular degeneration: Macular degeneration is the
leading cause of vision loss, affecting more than 10 million people in the United States alone, according to the

which is to heal.
Whether your pain is from Fibromyalgia, Complex
Regional Pain Syndrome, Strains, Sprains or pulled muscles, pain from either pre or post surgery, back, neck,
knee or shoulder pain, and even dysmenorrhea, Acupuncture can help alleviate or even eliminate the pain. The
World Health Organization (WHO) in its 2002 report entitled Acupuncture Review and Analysis of Reports on
Controlled Clinic Trials, stated that Acupuncture can be
regarded as the method of choice for treating many
chronically painful conditions.
If you are suffering from pain, dont want the nasty
side effects from the pain meds or have tried everything
else to no avail, call Skylands Acupuncture at 908-8763643 to make an appointment.
American Macular Degeneration Foundation. The AMDF
offers that macular degeneration is caused by the deterioration of the retinas central portion, known as the macula. The macula is responsible for focusing central vision
in the eye, and it contributes to ones ability to read, drive
a car, recognize faces or colors and see objects in fine detail.
Retinal detachment: An increase of floaters or sudden
flashes of light in vision may be indicative of retinal detachment or a tear in the retina. When caught promptly, a
detached retina may be repaired. However, if left untreated and the detachment reaches the macula in the center of the retina, vision loss may be irreparable. The
National Eye Institute says those with extreme nearsightedness, those who have had cataract surgery or those with
a family history of retinal detachment are at a high risk.
Diabetic retinopathy: Blurring or patchy vision loss
can be a side effect of high blood glucose levels. Not all
people with diabetes will develop vision problems, but it
is common enough to warrant attention.
Cataracts: According to The Mayo Clinic, a cataract
is a clouding of the normally clear lens of the eye.
Cataracts develop when aging or injury changes the tissue
that makes up the eyes lenses. Clouded vision can make
it more difficult to read or drive. Over time, cataracts may
obscure vision so much that they require surgical repair.
Routine eye examinations can bring potential vision
disturbances to light and facilitate faster treatment. Eye
doctors also can make suggestions about lifestyle
changes, including the use optical devices to improve
sight.
Those Guys Are Champions After Third Event
he Long Valley Middle School robotics team, Those Guys, ranked first
place in a recent event, only its third
competition since the group formed this past
summer.
On Dec. 19, the team competed at a
STEM day meet at Chatham Middle School,
facing against 28 teams, most of which were
veteran high school teams. The team was
consistently able to climb the mountain, and
in the qualifying rounds managed going undefeated and scoring first place by a significant margin. The tank inspired robot not only
enabled the team to score first place, but also
helped the team win a design award during
the competition.
In Aug. 2015, Picatinny Engineer Tim Rybarski decided to start a robotics club, to include his son Alec and four of his friends,
who all go to school at the Long Valley Middle School. The Team name is Those Guys.
They participate in the First Tech Challenge, where the teams consists of students
in grades seven-12 who are challenged to design, build, program, and operate robots to
play a floor game by two Alliances of two robots each, where robots will score points by:
resetting Rescue beacons; delivering Rescue Climbers to a shelter; parking on a mountain; and parking in a Rescue beacon repair
zone or floor goal. Robots may also score
points by retrieving debris from the playing
field and placing them in mountain or floor
goal.
The challenge/game changes every year,
and the there is a game revel every September to kick off the robotics season. Participants have access to tens of millions of
dollars in college scholarships. Each season
concludes with regional Championships and
a World Championship.
The students develop STEM skills and
practice engineering principles while realizing the value of hard work, innovation and
sharing ideas.
The next challenge for the team is to create a mechanism and write software so that
the robot can grab, and pull itself up on a bar
that is elevated off of the mountain which
would result in a significant amount of points
in the competition. The Robotics season ends
in February unless the team manages to find
itself qualifying for the world championships.
