Students Give A Hand To Create Hilltops New Mural

By Jane Primerano
he history of Mendham Borough is
alive and well in the
buildings that line Old
Route 24, or Route 124 or
Main Street, as it is alternatively called.

Now it has representation in the lobby of Hilltop

School, a half block up the
hill from the main intersection.
The new Hilltop
School is a stately red brick
building constructed in the

1920s on the site of the

original school. That school
is one of the historic sites
painted on the lobby walls.
Originally a small frame
building, it was jacked up
and a stone first floor placed
under it. Close to the road,
it was later moved back and
finally demolished for the
larger building.
Most of the historic sites
in the borough, the old fire
house, Robinsons Drugs,
the Presbyterian Church,
the old post office, Bacher
Farms, an old fire truck, an
apple orchard, are painted
on the formerly tan and yellow cement block walls.
The Liberty Pole, once
billed as the tallest flagpole
in the United States is featured, somewhat truncated;
the original Liberty Pole
was struck by lightning.
Also featured is the stone
horse trough which once
stood in the center of town
and was one of a series
leading down to Morristown; the Morristown one is
still on the Green, but most

are long gone.

David Heller, principal of the 280-student pre-K to fourth grade school, called the
original paint job a little bland.
Every student in the school recently
helped with a fresh painting, which was created by artist-in-residence Caren Frost
Olmsted. Her residency started Feb. 8 and
the mural was unveiled March 4.
We pay homage of what was here,
Olmsted commented, she noted the third
grades in Mendham do a walking tour of

the historic district as part of their local history curriculum.

Olmsted does such residencies all over
the country. This one is closer to home than
most for the Bernardsville native now lives
in Basking Ridge. This year she did 33
schools, heading to Dallas just after finishing in Mendham. She also does murals in
corporate settings, including one for Whole
Foods, and in hospitals, churches and
homes. Her mural business is called CFO

She was familiar with Mendham already, but she still spent time walking
around the borough and researching.
After designing the mural, Olmsted

Spend Summer Exploring Nature

At Schiff

egistration for the Summer Nature

Program at Schiff Nature Preserve
is now open. Now in its 14th year,
the program offers seven different one week
sessions between July and August for children ages four to 13. The program is held
at Schiffs Nature Preserve in Mendham.
Online registration is available at
www.schiffnaturepreserve.org.
Schiffs Summer Nature Program features hands-on nature exploration with
changing themes each week, tailored for the
different age groups. Every week of camp
includes nature games and crafts, trips to
the stream, shelter building and plenty of
opportunities to explore the varied terrain
of Schiff Nature Preserve. During weeks
where berries are ripe, campers will make
popular wineberry jelly.
We need to reconnect children with the
outdoors to instill the sense of wonder so
needed to become better stewards of tomorrows planet. said Tina Miller, the pro-

grams director. We have over 14 miles of

trails that cross forest, meadow and stream
environments. Catching frogs and butterflies, playing in our native garden and
spending quality time exploring the outdoors helps the kids develop a deeper connection to nature, meet new friends, and
create memories that last a lifetime.
A National Geographic feature this January titled This Is Your Brain On Nature,
espoused the benefits of being outside in
nature. A 15 minute walk in the woods
causes measurable changes in physiology,
report Japanese researchers in the article.
Yet, the article also points out that Visits
to parks are down. So are visits to the backyard. One study found only 10 percent of
Americans teens spend time outside every
day.
For questions regarding the summer program or registration, contact Miller at
Tina@schiffnaturepreserve.org.

Local Blood Drives Offered

ew Jersey Blood Services plans to

conduct local blood drives which
are open to the public. The following drives are scheduled:
Mon., March 28, Knights of Columbus,
Netcong, 3 p.m. to 9 p.m.
Tues., March 29, Drew University Center Ehinger Center, Madison,1 p.m. to 7
p.m.
New Jersey Blood Services, a division
of New York Blood Center (NYBC) is asking for help to maintain an adequate supply
of all blood types, but especially O-negative
the universal blood which can be transfused into anyone in an emergency. In addition, hundreds of additional blood drives
need to be scheduled to meet projected hospital demand. Current inventory of several
blood types is running below the desired
target level.
Its simple: hospital patient demand for
blood often outpaces our best efforts to recruit donors and schedule blood drives,
said NYBC Executive Director of Donor

Recruitment Andrea Cefarelli. There are

always reasons but we have to overcome
that for the sake of hospital patients who
need us.
This is one of the toughest times of the
year, Cefarelli added. Were asking for
our dedicated supporters to roll up their
sleeves to make sure were able to provide
our hospital partners with whatever they
need to take care of their patients.
Blood products have a short shelf life
from five to 42 days, so constant replenishment is necessary. Each and every day
there are patients who depend on the transfusion of red blood cells, platelets and
plasma to stay alive. But blood and blood
products cant be manufactured. They can
only come from volunteer blood donors
who take an hour to attend a blood drive or
visit a donor center.
To donate blood or for information on
how to organize a blood drive call 1-800933-2566; visit: www.nybloodcenter.org.

Moms Helping Moms Partners With Homeless Solutions Of Morristown

By Maryanne Christiano-Mistretta
oms Helping Moms Foundation, Inc., a non-profit charitable organization has been
helping families who face financial distress help meet their babies basic needs.
Whether its providing access to essential baby supplies or connecting moms
with a variety of services to support them
during pregnancy and the first three years
of parenthood, such as parenting support,
child development education, financial literacy, and health and wellness.
When founded in 2011, the idea was
that no baby should have to go without
lifes basic needs.
Through partnerships with community
organizations, schools, local government
and others, Moms Helping Moms has collected and distributed tens of thousands of
diapers, clothing, formula, nursing supplies, and countless other baby essentials
to hundreds of families in New Jersey.
President and Founder Bridget Cutler
started the organization by accident
when she began collecting excess baby
things her friends no longer needed. Cutler said, I had a large network of friends
with babies.
With an assortment of baby products
stored in her garage, Cutler began her organization. She said, Were like a food
bank with diapers and babies.
Six months ago Moms Helping Moms
paired with Homeless Solutions, Inc., in
Morristown, which began as Morris Shelter Inc. in 1983, created as a private, notfor-profit, tax-exempt organization. It
expanded to Homeless Solutions, Inc. and

provides shelter for homeless men,

women and families.
Homeless Solutions sends Moms Helping Moms a wish list for women with
children ages three and under. Then Moms
Helping Moms is able to provide the organization with diapers, strollers, and
clothing; filling in the gap of what food
stamps dont cover.
You name it, we have it, Cutler said.
With the exception of car seats and cribs;
both have legal issues, wed need to do
thorough inspections.
Moms Helping Moms recently obtained a $2,500 grant from National Diaper Bank Network. They were one of 29
national recipients of the inaugural Funds
for Change grant. Cutler plans to use the
money to re-organize their space, allowing for more inventory storage and to
streamline their operational procedures.
Money is always the biggest challenge,
according to Cutler. She said, Were a
non-profit. Were new. We dont have experience with grant writing. Most of the
money is private donations. Weve gotten
smaller grants here and there. We dont
have any full time employees on staff. Its
a constant work in progress.
Time is another issue for Moms Helping Moms since most of the volunteers at
the organization have children in preschool or younger. Cutler said, To find
enough people to volunteer has been
tricky. I work two full days per week. I
have to get a sitter. We have a lot of fantastic volunteers: a volunteer bookkeeper,
a volunteer coordinator; we would love to
be open all the time, but at this time we

as secretary. On Jan. 29, they had their
second annual Snow Ball fundraiser at
Stone House at Stirling Ridge in Warren.

2011, Moms Helping Moms has helped
provide close to 100,000 diapers, as well
as other essential baby supplies, to hundreds of families in NJ.

United Way Offers Five Tips For Tax Season

ith tax season underway, United

Way of Northern New Jersey is
providing five key tips to help
area residents avoid common filing errors
and scams. United Way, in conjunction with
local partners and the IRS, offers a free tax
preparation program for ALICE (Asset Limited, Income Constrained, Employed) and
poverty-level residents in Morris, Somerset,
Suburban Essex, Sussex and Warren counties.
We see many first-time clients who have
missed out on tax savings in previous years,
said United Way Manager Monica Conover.
These are simple, but costly mistakes that
are easily avoided once you know the facts.
For ways any household can save during
this tax season, consider the following tips
when meeting with a tax preparer.
1. Claiming medical expenses can result
in a tax break. Didnt save any paperwork?
Check with pharmacy, some will print out
statements listing yearly expenses.
2. Claiming a college-age child as a dependent might also result in a tax credit.

3. If a working high school or college student, file a return to possibly get a refund; but
parents should still claim child s a dependent
to take advantage of tax breaks.
4. Claim a relative if providing financial
support that covers more than 50 percent of
living expenses. For example, an out-of-state
parent financially being supported could
qualify.
5. Know how to spot scams. The IRS will
not initiate contact with taxpayers via phone,
text, email or social media. If taxes are owed,
the IRS will mail an official bill.
Area families living paycheck to paycheck can also access United Ways free tax
preparation program to avoid the high cost of
preparation fees. Residents can learn about
critical tax credits that can help boost returns.
The quality program provides returns prepared by IRS-certified volunteers, completed
state and federal returns; United Ways 100
percent free; refunds typically received
within two weeks
Each year, United Way partners with the
IRS, NORWESCAP, Greater Providence

Missionary Baptist Church and volunteers to

prepare and file free tax returns for financially-strapped families. Last year, United
Way volunteers filed 5,150 free tax returns
across the region. This free service saved
ALICE an estimated $1 million in tax prepa-

ration fees and helped put $5.6 million in refunds back into their wallets and the community.

free, quality tax preparation program, visit:

Did You Know?

ccording to the American Lung Association, pet dander is composed

of tiny flecks of skin shed by cats,
dogs, rodents, birds and other animals with
fur or feathers. While pet dander is so small
its sometimes microscopic, it can still
cause reactions in people who are allergic
to pet dander. But skin is not the only potential allergen associated with pets. Pets
may cause allergic reactions in some people
thanks to various proteins found in the
saliva, urine and feces from cats, dogs and
other pets. Dried saliva containing allergens
may flake off from animal fur and enter the
air, where it can be inhaled by people and
trigger an allergic reaction. That might be

one reason why, according to the ALA,

nearly twice as many people report allergies
to cats compared to dogs. Cats often clean
themselves by licking their own fur. Any
dried saliva left on cats after these cleaning
sessions may contain allergens that eventually flake off of that fur before entering the
air and being inhaled by people who are allergic. While it might seem odd that a tiny
cat can trigger a reaction that causes such
significant discomfort, the amount of allergens necessary to trigger allergic reactions
varies greatly from individual to individual,
with some being capable of handling small
amounts and others experiencing reactions
almost instantly upon inhalation.

Community Steps Up To Support Local Youth-Led Service Project

urk and Elizabeth Moran, with support from local

schools and businesses, raised $1,146 for the Interfaith Food Pantry of Morris. As members of the
2015-2016 Souper Bowl of Caring National Youth Advisory Board, the brother and sister team served as local
advocates for the youth-led organization and used the energy of the Super Bowl to raise awareness of local
hunger.
Our first step was to think of ways to get the community involved, said Turk Moran. A lot of people in
the area are aware of Souper Bowl of Caring, so we focused on local shops and restaurants.
During Super Bowl week, eight businesses in Chester
and Mendham raised more than $200 by putting out tip
jars in support of the Interfaith Food Pantry through the
Souper Bowl of Caring. A flier beside each jar posed the
question: What if everyone who watched the Super
Bowl donated a single dollar?
Another $900 was raised on Super Bowl Sunday when
a group of teens took shifts bagging groceries at
ShopRite of Chester in return for donations. Turk and
Elizabeth enlisted help from the Mendham High School
Service Club and from Hilltop Presbyterian Youth Group
to make their Bag for Charity event a success.
Our community is filled with generous people who

genuinely care about their neighbors, said Elizabeth.

And its good for young people to know they are never
too young to make a difference.
As part of their communication plan, the Morans
asked local schools to make an announcement during
Super Bowl week about their initiative to fight local
hunger. In response, the students at Black River Middle
School organized their own Souper Bowl of Caring food
drive, and collected one 146 food items for the Chester
Food Pantry.
On Feb. 21, Elizabeth visited the Interfaith Food
Pantry of Morris to deliver the monetary donation in person and to express her appreciation for the service they
provide to local families in need.
According to the United Way of New Jersey, there are
more than 40,000 households in Morris County, representing nearly a quarter of the countys population, struggling to afford the basics of food, clothing, housing and
childcare.
Souper Bowl of Caring engages youth across the nation to fight hunger and poverty in their own communities around the time of the Super Bowl football game. So
far this year, more than $9 million has been raised nationally through Souper Bowl of Caring, with 100 percent of all donations going straight to local charities.

Students Help Keep Morris County Litter Free

By Jane Primerano
hildren who spend a few hours picking up litter on their school yard dont
ever think the same way about litter
again.
Liz Sweedy, Morris County Clean Communities coordinator, explained the benefit
from public school litter cleanups funded
through the Keep Morris County Litter Free
grants. The school must conduct a littler
cleanup on at least two acres of school property. The property may include ball fields and
wooded areas. The cleanup must be held between April 15 and June 6 with participation
of a minimum of 20 students with their adult
supervisors.
The students who do the cleanups are
pretty grossed out, Sweedy said.
The $500 grants may be used for outdoor
receptacles for recyclables or trash or indoor
receptacles for recyclables only, according to
the countys press release. These grants are
awarded after the school submits required paperwork to the Morris County Municipal
Utilities Authority.
The county press release quotes Freeholder Christine Myers, the freeholder liaison

to the MUA. This is a great opportunity to

reinforce how important it is for them to care
for their own environment and will show
how it also improves our communities and
our entire county.
A second part of the Litter Free program
is a poster contest for public school students
in grades six through 12, Sweedy explained.
The posters illustrate the ill effects of littering
and each school displays the posters drawn
by its students, she said. Each school chooses
the two considered best and submits them to
the county. The four county-wide winners
are duplicated on recycling containers with
the students names and the date of the contest. They are distributed to the schools of the
four winners.
They are heavy-duty metal containers
and they look gorgeous at the schools,
Sweedy said, adding each winning student
receives a $200 gift card.
Sweedy is hoping more schools participate this year. In 2015, 15 schools participated, but in 2014, 21 schools were part of
the contest.
During the cleanup portion of the Litter
Free initiative in 2015, 495 students and adult

supervisors cleaned up 148 acres and collected 45 bags of trash, 52 bags of recyclables, 66 pounds of scrap metal and 56
pounds of construction debris.
Not all litter is created equal, Sweedy concedes.
Litter dumped near the headwaters of the
Raritan River is damaging to birds and fish.
The Raritan Headwaters Association pulled
nearly two tons of objects, mostly plastic,
from the headwaters last year, Sweedy said.
Clean Communities works closely with the
RHA.
Tiny pieces of plastic, plastic ties and
similar things, get cut off and become brittle,

birds and fish ingest them, she said.

Clean Communities also works with the
Morris County Mosquito Control Department collecting tires.
Last year they collected 966 tires,
Sweedy said.
Some municipalities sell stickers for tire
disposal and the Parsippany Transfer Station
takes them on certain days. But the state tire
grant is no longer in place, so many county
residents dont have a convenient place to get
rid of them. Some tire dealers do take old
tires for a small fee, but not all do, she added.
Additional information on the grants is
available from Sweedy at 973-285-8393.

The majority of grass species have chlorophyll to thank for their appealing green color.
Chlorophyll is a bright pigment that absorbs
both blue and red light especially well. But
chlorophyll largely reflects green light, which
is why the yards and fields we spend so much
time in are green. And chlorophyll does more
than influence the color of grass. Chlorophyll
also plays an important role in the process of
photosynthesis, during which green plants

use sunlight to synthesize foods from carbon

dioxide and water. According to LiveScience.com, chlorophyll molecules absorb
light and then transfer that energy to special
molecules that, when stimulated, fire off electrons that produce chemical changes in the
plant. That chemical energy is ultimately
turned into sugar, highlighting the essential
role that chlorophyll plays in lawns survival.

Handbags For Charity Carry Mission To Help Children And End Violence

By Cheryl Conway
andbags from Lucys Gift in Morristown carry much more weight than a
wallet, checkbook, lipstick and other
miscellaneous items.
With every purchase, customers carry on
their shoulders an effort to help children with
special needs and end violence. The pain of
losing her husband five years ago lingers for
owner Marisa Spagnoletti of Morristown, but
six months ago she found a way to channel
her loss by opening a non-profit boutique to
raise money for various charities such at the
P.G. Chambers School in Cedar Knolls.
Spagnoletti opened Lucys Gift boutique
in Morristown in Oct. 2015 and donates 100
percent of the proceeds to honor her late husband Maurice Spagnoletti, a prominent New
Jersey banker tragically killed in June 2011,
while working in San Juan, Puerto Rico.
As the founder of Lucys Gift, as well as
the Maurice J. Spagnoletti Foundation
(MJSF), the former Florham Park widow has
made it her mission to help children in need,
victims of crime and honor those who serve
and protect others.

Named after their 10-year old daughter,

Lucy, Spagnoletti says Lucys Gift is our gift
back to the world. Its just what I wanted to
do. It has grown beyond my dreams. I dont
have a website or a Facebook page. I have
emails from people all over the country, and
plans to open a second boutique in a major
retail strip mall.
With a background in sales marketingbrand management, Spagnoletti had worked
as a marketing director for Crowe Horwath
accounting firm in New York for 13 years,
but when her husband was killed, her world
changed.
Her business started haphazardly because of her husbands death. It began from
helping a small charity and blossomed into a
non-profit business.
Maurice had been good friends with their
daughters doctor, John Connor. It was
through that friendship that Maurice came to
support the Children of China Pediatric
Foundation (CCPF), a charity Dr. Connor
supports by performing free surgeries for orphans.
When my husband was murdered my

daughter was very sick, explains Spagnoletti. The day after he was buried, we met
Dr. Connor in Morristown to take care of
Lucy who has been faced with health issues.
Upon our return to NJ, Dr. Connor was
there and will always be there for us, Spagnoletti says. I told Dr. Connor I would keep

my husbands promise as he labeled the

doctor their hero.
Instead of taking money for Lucy from
those who sent donations after her tragic loss,
Spagnoletti directed donations be sent to the
CCPF in her husbands memory.

Handbags For Charity...

continued from previous page

As donations increased, CCPF opened a rehabilitation
training program for chronically disabled and post-surgical
orphans in his honor the Maurice Journey of love support
and hope J. Spagnoletti Rehabilitation Program. After three
years, when she got back on her feet, Spagnoletti supported
these efforts by holding small handbag auctions.
In 2012, I started doing handbag events; women in large
numbers started buying handbags, she says. By 2014, this
grew to a sold out crowd. This led to an annual event in June,
raising tens of thousands of dollars for charity.
After setting enough money aside, Spagnoletti decided to
open Lucys Gift to sell handbags on a regular basis for charity.
My idea for selling handbags for charity has exploded,
says Spagnoletti. I put the seed money in for the boutique,
in hopes to get money back to cover her salary and health insurance. After that, all proceeds will go toward helping others.
I dont have wealth, explains Spagnoletti. I created a
business where all the net profits will go to the foundation,
which go to our charities.
Inside her boutique, Spagnoletti decorated using pink, blue
and purple hues. She explains the pink represents children in
need; blue for the victims of crime; and purple for the purple
heart.
Through her foundation, MJSF has expanded its charity

to children with special needs at P.G. Chambers School in

Cedar Knolls to support children in need; is helping victims
of crime by supporting domestic violence and sexual assault
safe houses such as SAFE in Hunterdon; and aid charities that
support the Federal Bureau of Investigation, whose agents
and families inspire Marisa with their heroic efforts to protect us domestically, as explained in the MJSF mission statement.
When you buy something, you want to know where your
money is going, she explains.
Spagnoletti selected P.G. Chambers as a charity recipient
after meeting one of the mothers who sends both of her kids
who are in wheelchairs to the school, which provides the most
comprehensive education and therapy programs for children
with disabilities.
We met by chance, says Spagnoletti about Annabella
Rossi, the mother of the two students at P.G. Chambers. At
that moment she was having a bad day; I was having a bad
day.
Out of the 35 volunteers at MJSF, Rossi became her eighth
volunteer.
She started coming to my house; we became friends.
Spagnoletti honored Rossi in 2013 when she presented her
with the Maurice Spagnoletti Foundation Caregiver Award.
Annabella is a role model to me.
Every year, Spagnoletti presents the caregiver award to an
individual, a teacher, mother or nurse. In June 2015, she gave

the award to a woman named Tiffany who created a park for

disabled children near the Jets Training Facility. Tiffanys
daughter also attends the P.G. Chambers School.
Lucys Gift specializes in mostly handbags, and jewelry.
Featured are 200 handbags on display varying in color, price
and function, from popular name brands like Gucci, authentic
lines, fake leather to unheard labels. Prices of bags range from
$50 to $2,000.
Handbags are my life, she says. The sky is the limit for
us; we even carry mens wallets, and bags for men. Within
two months, we were able to triple our inventory.
Customers can also find unique costume jewelry pieces
and accesories, ranging from $18 to $350, as well as distinct
unique items such as a wine tote, her number one seller found
in a Texas boutique.
I travel the country and find really neat boutiques, she
says, bringing back those rare items, such as a little mirror
that attaches to an Iphone, to resell.
When you come to my boutique, everything is sacred,
says Spagnoletti. Our dream is to bring luxury to all women.
I grew up lower income; I didnt have money to spend. I always dreamed Id be able to provide fashion to everyone.
Instead of a bow or ribbon, every bag or purchase is
adorned with a barrette.
To her surprise, Spagnolettis mission is taking off. Concert-singer Naomi Miller, who was singing in Italian on the

streets in Morristown, attended her grand opening; Spagnoletti has been getting emails of support from around the country; and she recently appeared on the NBC Today Show with
Al Roker.
After five years, Im finding peace. My husband was brutally assassinated. Honoring him was my life mission. The
FBI is still investigating the case, she adds.
A prominent banker for Doral Financial, Maurice was shot
and killed at the age of 57 by unknown assailants, June 15,
2011, while sitting in his car in traffic on the highway. Employed with the company for just one year, he had been assigned to work in Puerto Rico in Jan. 2011, says Spagnoletti.
Justice is coming I believe that. The people who killed
my husband will be brought to justice. We seek justice for all.
Hope is something we have and something we have to work
for. Hope with positive action prevails. The men and women
Ive come to know are beyond extraordinary; they are the real
heroes.
Part of Spagnolettis mission is to put an end to violence.
My husband was everything to me, says Spagnoletti.
You dont heal from violence. It is prevention, awareness
and treatment that will lead to end violence. In my very small
way Im going to make an impact. Its my mission to end violence and I will. I want my husbands memory honored.
Nothing brings my husband back; my daughter needed her
father.

She says, My husband died a hero. To honor him, MJSF

plans to award a $1,500 Future Hero scholarship to a junior
college student in need from Morris County who aspires a
career in preventing or stopping violence. Eric Mohberg,
whose fianc was brutally murdered 26 years ago, joined her
MJSF board and is helping her create the scholarship.
At last years annual Handbag Auction held in June at the
Hanover Manor in East Hanover, $30,000 was raised for the
charities. Participants paid $75 for all you can eat, dancing,
raffles, silent auction of handbags and other items, and presentations by charity organizations.
Through her mission, Spagnoletti has rechanneled her
anger to provide a healthy environment for her daughter. She
explains, I can only focus on positive so she can grow up
and be positive.
Its amazing what could be done for the memory of one
hero. Through all of this Im really finding peace. I was so
low and so sad, but now Im back. If Im working 24 hours a
day, its not work, its what I love to do. I know I never let
him down. I feel my husband smiling when I can do things
like this. I do my little part in helping them; every year I feel
like Im doing more.
On her boutique wall hangs a framed poem titled Life
Does Not Frighten Me At All. A girl that Spagnoletti met
one year ago at P.G. Chambers School read her that poem.
Honestly they teach me more, she says. Since then, Spagnoletti has adopted a class there and I go and visit her. Noth-

ing frightens this little girl who has all these issues. I would
sell my life for her.
Spagnoletti has come up with a program in which companies pay people to volunteer.
Corporations can give not to the foundation, but to the
P.G. Chambers School. For that donation, we will train that
staff. Lets get people to commit to volunteer work.
As a way to market and add new revenue source for her
boutique, Spagnoletti recently started Lucys Gift Treasure
Chest, in which she provides non-profits, fair priced tricky
tray or auction items. Her idea came about after she gave a
handbag to a church who asked her for a tricky tray donation.
Lucys Gift is open Tues. and Wed., 11 a.m. to 6 p.m.;
Thurs., Fri. and Sat., 11 a.m. to 7:30 p.m.; and Sun. 11 a.m.
to 4 p.m.

hen Cpl. Matt

Foster
left
Afghanistan
after his tour of duty in
2013, he didnt know
whether he would ever see
his K-9 partner again.
For nine months, Foster
and Sgt. Mick, a black
Labrador retriever, lived
and worked together keeping the military compound
at Camp Leatherneck and
the surrounding area in
Helmand Province safe
from explosive attack.
After being honorably
discharged from the Marine Corps, Foster did not
give up in his quest to
adopt Mick. The 7-yearold Lab had been discharged
for
medical
reasons, and Foster said he
lost count of the number of
adoption forms he sent attempting to be reunited
with his dog.
Ultimately,
Fosters
quest to reconnect with
Mick was successful, and
they are together again living in Colorado.
When I first got Mick
back, I was worried that I
might not be able to take
care of him, he recalled.
After what you go
through with your dog in
the service and then adopt
them
afterward,
you
wouldnt want to say goodbye to your partner because you couldnt afford
to take care of him.
Once military and police dogs retire, with no
guaranteed pension for
their medical care, the burden and cost of care often
fall solely on their caregivers. Now an advocate
for military dog adoption,
Foster has joined The Sage

K-9s In Service: Supporting Those Who Served

Foundation for Dogs Who

Serve and the RIMADYL
K-9 Courage program to
help other retired military
dogs and handlers.
The RIMADYL K-9
Courage Program is a charitable healthcare donation
program that, together with
The Sage Foundation and
National Police Dog Foundation, provides financial
and in-kind product donations of $150,000 annually
to support the veterinary
needs for up to 500 retired
police and military K-9s.
Officer without a pension
Despite being considered an officer of his
countys sheriffs office,
Dano is another retired
working dog whose veterinary needs and expenses
will mount after retirement.
Dano is an extraordinary dog, said Senior
Deputy Sheriff Danielle
Delpit of her K-9 partner.
Hes been injured, tazed
and involved in two critical incidents.
Recently, Delpit noticed
that Dano, now 7 1/2 years
old, was slowing down and
she reluctantly decided it
was time for him to retire.
After Danos retirement, it
became Delpits responsibility to care for him.
While on active duty,
Danos veterinary care was
covered. But now that he is
retired, it is up to me, she
explained. Dano has injuries; he has a bad back
and I know he will eventually have arthritis. The RIMADYL K-9 Courage
Program will give me
peace of mind to know Ill
have help to give him the
healthcare he deserves.

Cpl. Matt Foster and K-9 partner Sgt. Mick

K-9s in service
An estimated 1,775 military dogs are actively
working to protect military
personnel. Each dog saves
as many as 150-200 service men and women by detecting explosives and
hidden weapons caches.
The Sage Foundation
for Dogs Who Serve
(www.sagefoundationfordogs.org) works to promote the welfare of dogs
who have faithfully served
in wars, police work, crime
prevention and rescue.
Their work includes education and public awareness, as well as making
medical care available for
these hero dogs.
Law enforcement dogs
are used at the local,
county, state and federal
levels, and are considered
full-fledged police officers. Unlike their human
counterparts,
however,
these officers do not receive a pension.
With a mission of making K-9 teams missionready and self-sustaining,
the National Police Dog
Foundation (www.nationalpolicedogfoundation.or)
provides funding for the

purchase, training and

medical needs for police
dogs through retirement.

he Morris County Prosecutors Office,

Daytop New Jersey and the Rockaway
Township Substance Abuse Alliance
plans to hold the Morris County Heroin
Summit of 2016 this spring in Rockaway
Township.
A variety of stakeholders will talk about
the drug that is overwhelming police, rescue
and medical teams across the state and nation
at the forum, which is set for Tues., April 26,
at Christ Church.
Criminal Justice must take a dynamic approach to this heroin and opiate problem,
said Morris County Prosecutor Fredric
Knapp, who will be one of the featured panelists at the Heroin Summit. The problem
cannot be solved simply with the prison system. While we will vigorously prosecute
profit-based drug dealers, we will also prioritize treatment for the addicted drug users.
It is essential that we, as a community,
become informed about this epidemic and
that law enforcement, the medical community, addiction treatment professionals and
the community at large discuss this problem
and work on solutions to enhance prevention
and encourage drug treatment for the addicted, Knapp added.
Morris County law enforcement officials

National

Heroin Summit To Be Held This Spring

contend that we are in the midst of a heroin
and opiate epidemic, with no state hit harder
than New Jersey. Overdose deaths are now
the leading cause of accidental death, with
more Americans dying every year from overdoses than they do from motor vehicle
crashes.
Addiction to prescription opioid
painkillers is the primary factor that is fueling
heroin addiction.
Healthcare professionals continue to write
250 million opioid painkiller prescriptions
each year. The availability and misuse of prescription opioids combined with the low cost,
potent heroin that has become easily accessible, is driving an increased demand for and
use of heroin and ultimately claiming the
lives of thousands of Americans.
Admission into New Jersey licensed substance abuse facilities has increased dramatically. More people are seeking treatment for
addiction than there are available slots at
treatment facilities. Neighborhoods also are
plagued with burglaries, thefts and violent
crimes as heroin addicts, driven by their addiction, commit these offenses to feed their
habit. Morris County is not immune from
these staggering statistics.
Heroin can be purchased cheaply and with

relative ease in Morris County, according to

Prosecutor Knapp. In short, its inexpensive,
available and, unfortunately, very deadly, as
evidenced by the 43 people who died from a
heroin or opiate overdose in Morris County
in 2015.
This conference is a very positive step towards dealing with such a negative substance
that is especially plaguing our young people,

and also hurting their families and communities, sad Morris County Freeholder Director Kathy DeFillippo. Its vital that we attack
this here in Morris County with facts, knowledge and public awareness.
While admission to the event is free, registration is required. To register, email heroinsummit@rtsaa.org or call 973-627-2465
ext. 434.

Holocaust Survivor To Tell Her Story

he National Council of Jewish

Women (NCJW), West Morris Section, plans to sponsor a special talk
by Ruth Ravina, a survivor of the Holocaust, at a guided, docent-led tour of the
Women in the Holocaust photo exhibit at
the JCC on Route 10 East in Whippany. The
event is set to take place at 7 p.m., on Tues.,
April 26.
NCJW, West Morris Section is inviting
sixth-graders and their teachers from all
Morris County public, private and parochial
schools to attend this talk and tour of the
exhibit.
Ravina owes her life to both Jewish and
non-Jewish rescuers. Before she got to the

concentration camp where her mother and

cousin were transported, Ravina was saved
by three young girls who escaped from a
ghetto when they learned it would be liquidated. A toddler at the time, Ruth was then
rescued by a Polish family.
The National Council of Jewish Women
(NCJW) is a grassroots organization of volunteers and advocates who turn progressive
ideals into action. Inspired by Jewish values, NCJW strives for social justice by improving the quality of life for women,
children, and families and by safeguarding
individual rights and freedoms. For further
information about NCJW, West Morris Section, visit www.ncjwwestmorris.org.
