Sock Collection Brings Joy Of Comfort To Thousands Of Soles

By: J.L. Shively eter Sullivan and his friend, Luke Shea, were only looking for something to build their college resume. But when they discovered that socks are the number one most requested
clothing item for homeless shelters, Sullivan notes, their project “turned into something more.” “At our sophomore assembly we had a speaker named Michael Shea [no relation] and he gave a presentation that was very in-

tense and eye opening about how he became homeless on purpose,” says Shea. “It made me think about homelessness and how I might be able to help in some way.” According to Sullivan, Shea’s mother had come across a video online about the importance of sock donations to homeless communities. “She told us in the car on the way to school, Luke and I thought it was a great idea,” Sullivan notes. The boys located a non-profit group called the Joy of Sox which was their inspiration for their project. In their research the boys found out why socks were such an important donation for the homeless. “When you think about it, it makes sense, the homeless rarely take off their shoes which lead to not taking off their socks for long periods of time,” explains Sullivan. On the Joy of Sox website, non-profit founder Tom Costello explains that his inspiration for founding the

group came from his work at a soup kitchen and some facts obtained from a podiatrist who had done work at the shelter. “The podiatrist said that the homeless rarely get donations of socks and have extensive foot problems due to the lack of clean socks.” This factor results in the problem that socks often are the first item to wear out.
When a person already has a limited amount of clothing socks are often the first items to be worn and then discarded. With this information in mind, both Sullivan and Shea decided they wanted to become a part of a sock collection that would benefit the homeless. The thought of homeless people, especially in the
winter, is what Shea notes as a huge motivating factor to start this drive. “They have nothing,” says Shea and even though a pair of socks is a small thing they mean a lot to the people who need them. Both students at Seton Hall Preparatory School in West Orange, Sullivan and Shea began to plan their continued on page 2

Continue To Brighten The Future By Sharing Positive Stories In 2017
By Cheryl Conway ith winter holidays behind us and the new year already here, many may have noticed some extra kindness with more and
more people giving to charities, hosting dinners, providing meals and reaching out to those struggling or needing some help to get by. These are the type of stories that New View Media
Group welcomes as good news and kindness tend to spread and creates a chain reaction that may encourage others to pitch in by donating some time, money or items that they do not need
Sock Collection... continued from front page drive. After school that day they met with Sharon Rondinella, the director of the campus ministry. The boys explained their interest in running a drive to collect socks for the homeless. “When we started talking to her she asked if we were with the other two students who asked her before,” says Sullivan. As it turns out there were two other students at Seton Hall Prep who were also considering a socks drive and had approached the campus ministry director as well. Rondinella gave Sullivan the contact information for Connor Matteson and TJ Martynowicz, both of Florham Park. “Connor and TJ submitted their proposal [for the project] on the same day that Peter and I submitted our proposal,” states Shea, “it worked out great because we probably wouldn’t have
been able to collect as many socks as individual teams.” Working as a team the four students orchestrated a sock collection to be done in support of the Joy of Sox mission. The collection started Dec. 7 and ended on Dec. 23, taking place while the school was on Christmas break. To advertise the collection flyers were distributed around the school and each of the students involved reached out to the community in different ways. “I also asked the varsity soccer coach if I could collect socks at the soccer banquet,” says Sullivan. “We also went to the Mother’s Auxiliary Christmas Dinner and collected socks there.” There were also two buckets for drop offs positioned in front of the campus ministry and main office at the school. Shea’s father, Dan Shea,
collected at his office, the Gilbane Building Company and Matteson and Martynowicz had bags in the freshman homerooms for students to drop off donations. Overall the four boys helped to collect 1,240 pairs of new socks. The socks were donated to Bridges Outreach Inc. based in Summit. “I knew they would go to people that need them [through Bridges],” states Sullivan. In conclusion Sullivan explains that “it felt amazing to do something good for the less fortunate,” a sentiment which Martynowicz mirrors by stating “it was rewarding to know we were able to help these people.” It is without a doubt that these boys brought the comfort of socks to 1,000 pairs of feet and counting, with plans to keep the joy spreading with an annual drive.

or use. New View Media Group, it’s that new view on news that tends to steer away from anything controversial and negative, such as last year’s political debates and election. The recent election, as contentious as it was, remains uneasy for many who question the next leadership; and if the other candidate would have won, that same uneasiness would have still been present. As readers look back at 2016, and then forward to what lies ahead, we must not forget the importance of sticking to core values, good ethics and morals, and proper etiquette which can range from being kind to others; having respect for all people; being honest and giving to those who may be struggling. Throughout the past
year, the local community has been an outreach in so many ways to help others both near and far. Readers of the “East Hanover/ Florham Park News” were inundated with so many positive stories. A dental office in Florham Park hosted first annual food and turkey drive; fundraising walk/run held to help man with ALS; East Hanover students provided clean water to Nicaragua village; Florham Park police traded cards with youth; annual Bark For Life held to fundraise for cancer research; local congregation moved to larger space for growth; American Legion Auxiliary sold pinwheels to prevent child abuse; East Hanover Middle School honor students collected items for care bags to benefit chemotherapy patients; Florham Park Borough
mayor recognized local teen for raising awareness and funds toward pediatric cancer research; Florham Park First Aid Squad hosted Tree of Light program to raise funds for squad; two local families hosted a Cycle for Survival event to fundraise for rare pediatric cancer research. The list of amazing stories that detail all of the wonderful actions prompted by the local community go on and on. For 2017, let’s continue to share in all of the good that surrounds us, big or small, near or far. Send your press releases and story ideas to me at editor@newviewmg.com.

Hanover Park Girls’ Soccer Scores Winning Season
N
By Josh Lashley ot only was the Hanover Park High School girls’ soccer team competitive this school year, more importantly they were able to compete with a high standard of focus, dedication, spirit, determination and honor on a consistent basis. As a result of their strong overall effort, the Hornets finished with a winning record of 10-9-3 and they were 6-6 in the challenging Northwest Jersey Athletic Conference Liberty Division. Erin Shane, the Hanover Park head coach, vividly recalls some of the most memorable contests for the Hornets this past
season. “The games that stand out the most are the ones in which our team played as a team, controlling and possessing the ball,” Shane said. “In the second half of our season, we beat teams that we had previously lost to by working to improve our game, style of play and aggressive defense. Beating a team the second time around is difficult but the girls proved it possible many times. “Our win over Montville [5-0 on Oct.19] was memorable because they are a good Group 3 program. In addition defeating Mountain Lakes 2-0 [Oct. 24] was big for us. During that game I had two subs as the result of injury, so it
was amazing to watch our younger players come out strong against a team they had lost to twice previously. “Lastly, our two [NJSIAA North 2 Group 2 Sectional] state games, Caldwell [a 2-1 win on Nov. 1] and Lyndhurst [a 2-1 victory on Nov. 4,] were full team efforts. Caldwell was amazing, we came from behind to win and pulled together to hold a great team at bay. Out of our nine losses, eight were by one goal and three were in overtime. It is the Hornets third year in a row playing in the section semifinals, fourth time in five years.” The Hornets were able to play well in both
the regular season and post-season in large part because of the solid leadership displayed by veteran student-athletes on the roster. “Gabriella Barquin stepped up as an amazing captain and leader, leading by motivating the girls but also by example,” Shane said. “She does everything she expects of her teammates and more. Camille Carnevale became the leader of the defense. She is more of a silent leader, showing that by shutting down team after team and supporting the girls playing around her. Claire Cahill became a leader in the midfield. She never backs down and constantly puts herself in position to help
the team before herself. “Molly Powers was one of our freshmen who improved her skill on the ball every day. She never stopped trying on the field and off and became someone the team came to rely on as a freshman. Amanda Hoberman improved so much over her last two years on the varsity squad, she played both forward and midfield and paved the way for many of our other players to be able to put goals away from her hard work. Sophia Rafanello is also a freshman who became a player who never backed down, took on girls twice her size and started to put together a series of plays that rivaled seniors.” The Hornets are proud
of what they accomplished on the pitch this season and they’re looking forward to 2017. “Our teams leading scorers, Alyssa Viegas, 11 goals; Claire Cahill, eight goals; and assist players, Gabriella Barquin, 12 assists, are underclassmen, as well as our three goalies,” Shane said. “In addition our defensive line was made up or three juniors, one sophomore and one senior. We were younger this year and will be able to take our experience from this year and build upon it for next year.” In the semifinal round of the North 2 Group 2 sectional tournament, Hanover Park lost a 1-0 game to Parsippany.

Gannon Leads Productive Role As New Morris County Sheriff
I
By Cheryl Conway nto the second month of his newly elected position, Morris County Sheriff Jim Gannon is off to a strong start in his mission to establish new partnerships, better services and improved technologies. Gannon of the Township of Boonton began Jan. 2 as the 77th sheriff of Morris County, taking the reins from Edward Rochford
who served for 24 years since 1993. After November’s election win, Gannon met with Rochford to help with the transition and visited the Morris County Correctional Facility to prepare for its return of operations to the sheriff’s department. Having been in law enforcement for 33 years, Gannon was ready to step into his next challenge. “It’s been great,” says

Gannon. “I love the role. Morris County Sheriff’s Office is a very proud agency,” with the “finest officers, support staff second to none. That’s a great start. We also have people that are hungry for improvements,” from “senior people” with great ideas, to innovative “young folks.” “Good things are happening,” he continues. “The agency is changing before our eyes. I want to improve on all that they’ve [previous sheriffs] done. They’ve done a phenomenal job.” Before Gannon came on board, the Morris County Freeholders had been managing the county jail for 16 months, since 2015 after taking it away from the sheriff due to issues such
as officers’ salary hikes and overtime costs. That same board voted unanimously, 7-0, in Dec. 2016, to return the day-day management of the county jail back to the sheriff’s department. The sheriff’s office had run the county jail for 277 years, since 1739, says Gannon, who spent 100 hours reviewing the matter before presenting to freeholders the benefits of one agency. “The jail had always been the responsibility of the sheriff,” he says. To have it returned, made the most sense for better operations and partnerships. “Bottom line is we will work together. It’s more suitable that I take over.” As one agency- the Bureau of Law Enforcement
and the Bureau of Corrections- the new Morris County Sheriff’s Office employs 330 employees, which include 160 officers at the correctional facility, 90 officers in law enforcement, and additional support staff. There is “a lot going on” with the two bureaus, says Gannon, with a unique situation and a lot to offer, such as a jail population of 245 inmates; a crime scene unit that is a shared service, assisting towns with 1,262 crimes last year; its own bomb squad; Sheriff Emergency Response Team (SERT); a new and improved Morris County Sheriff’s Trends & Analysis Team (STAT); Canine Unit that went out 500 times last year in search of
missing persons like elderly and children, narcotics, explosives detention; and a warrant squad to pick up individuals with violations. “We really play into the role of all that’s going on in Morris County Law Enforcement,” says Gannon. The sheriff is also proud that “We are triple accredited,” in law enforcement, correctional side and continued on next page

continued from previous page healthcare side. “These inmates are in our vicinity; we make sure they get proper care,” from dental care to mental abuse treatment. During his first 100 day transition, or phase one, Gannon spent time interviewing all personnel “seeing how we can do better.” In phase two, he wants to develop partnerships and establish a new organization. One plan is to have an assessment of the Morris County Courthouse complex to strengthen its infrastructure. The county has authorized an architect for $370,000 to come evaluate the complex, from floor plan to security, “to look at it holistically to see if it can be changed to accommodate the user.”
The old courthouse building dates back to 1827 and is protected by the National Registry of Historic Places. In order to provide better security for judges, crime victims and defendants, the building needs some redesigning, says Gannon. “It’s very difficult” to get around the facility for persons in wheelchairs or disabilities, he says. “You can’t do it by yourself.” Gannon says “I’m very pleased freeholders are taking the initiative to further these efforts. There will be great opportunity for improvements.” Gannon says his “number one responsibility is the protection of the people.” He wants to ensure that people who come to the courthouse can come in to
speak to the judge without intimidation. He also needs to safeguard crime victims, family members and visitors to the courthouse to prevent conflicted contact with the opposing party. Using correctional officers to help protect the courthouse is being considered for additional safety measures, he says. “I’m here to protect all the people,” stresses Gannon. “It’s serious business; I like to have fun but I’m a real serious guy when it comes down to it.” Another issue is opiate addiction in the county and the state, says Gannon. His plan is to have a housing unit at the county jail as well as a partnership with Morris County Vo-tech so inmates, once released, can continue their services
while going for their GED and eventually a job. “Last year, 62 people died in Morris County [from opium abuse], 21 to 71 years of age, all socio-economics, all races, all age groups, all levels of education,” says Gannon. “They are addicted maybe through oxycodone, or wisdom tooth pulled or a broken arm.” Gannon says “We are developing a system to assist with interventions to bring hope to the user. These users are our family, they’re our friends, they’re our neighbors. If people are distributing, they need to be cut off; to cut the head off the snake. We are going to make a difference.” Also on Gannon’s radar is to introduce a voluntary domestic abuse program
“to discontinue that cycle of violence,” he says. In March, he plans to start a bracelet program as an alternative to incarceration, an in-home detention program for inmates not charged with violent crimes. This way those involved in minor crimes will be given an opportunity to stay home and not be incarcerated in order to continue working and care for their families. Gannon has made some personnel changes, placing an undersheriff at the correctional facility, hiring an undersheriff at the Bureau of Law Enforcement, a new administrator and senior analyst. “In four weeks we made a lot of improvements.” He also has started some new programs such as se-
nior fraud presentations in the Bureau Law Enforcement to help seniors who are victims of fraud, has been speaking to groups on counter terrorism and opium abuse and has taken “a very serious approach” to modernizing technologies and sharing information. With all that he has planned, Gannon says, “I think we have a very bright future. I came in here to make a difference. It’s been exciting for me to steer the ship. It’s a seven day week job. I have high expectations. “I report to the people of Morris County,” he concludes. “The concerns of the people are my concerns. I have to listen to the people; I take that very seriously. That’s my table of organization.”

IMPLANT DENTISTRY For over twenty years, implant dentistry has been a reliable option for patients with missing teeth. With the ability to support a crown, an implant procedure has the capacity to bypass drilling the adjacent teeth. Additionally, with the recent availability of mini implants, implant dentistry has expanded its utilization to anchoring both full and partial dentures for a more secure fit. As they provide an economic alternative, patients have been very receptive of mini implants, as they make eating and speaking with dentures much easier. Dr. Helen Chiu has always been involved in implant dentistry, making it an integrated part of her everyday practice. From replacing a single tooth, inserting crowns or bridges, securing dentures, to creating multiple, full-arch reconstructions, she performs every step of each process, surgical and restorative.

is fighting every day to protect and preserve the freedoms the flag represents, freedoms that so many take for granted every day. The members of the Post 43 family were humbled by the recognition. “That those who already give so much would go out of their way to recognize our efforts and build our morale is amazing” said Auxiliary President Mary

anover Township is pleased to announce that it has been certified at the Silver level of the state’s Sustainable Jersey initiative. Of the 440 New Jersey towns currently participating in this program, which is sponsored by the NJ State League of Municipalities’ Mayors’ Committee for a Green Future, Hanover is one of only 46 to achieve this designation. Chairperson Richard Dovey of Sustainable Jersey Board of Trustees, and Co-Director Randall Solomon, presented the award to Deputy Township Mayor and Green Team Liaison John Ferramosca during a luncheon hosted in Atlantic City on Nov. 15.
Hanover Twp. Green Team Takes Silver
“Receiving the Silver award is a big achievement and represents a new milestone for the Hanover Green team,” noted Ferramosca. “Hanover now joins Madison as one of the top two environmentally friendly communities in Morris County!” To become certified at the Silver level by Sustainable Jersey, Hanover had to complete rigorous sustainability actions totaling 350 program points.

Speaking on behalf of the Township Committee, Mayor Ron Francioli commended the Green Team and the Hanover Township community as a whole in embracing sustainability. “We’re fortunate to have a dedicated Green Team undertaking sustainable initiatives and collaborating with our Environmental Commission, munic-
ipal employees, schools, and business neighbors to showcase our Township’s commitment to the environment. The Silver level award is well-deserved state recognition of those
combined efforts.” For additional information about Sustainable Jersey, go to www.SustainableJersey.com. For more information about the Green Team and their

clair chapter of the Barbershop Harmony Society, had a very busy Dec.
The Essex-Passaic Wellness Coalition (EPWC) plans to have a public meeting, featuring a presentation on cancer survivorship by Mary Jane Tranzillo, APN, on Mon., March 6, from 4 p.m. to 6 p.m. at RWJ Barnabas Health’s Corporate Training Room in West Orange. Following a brief, open business meeting at 4 p.m., the presentation on cancer survivorship will begin at 4:30 p.m. Tranzillo will discuss who cancer survivors are, their needs, and how care is designed for and delivered to cancer survivors. Attendees are welcome

Tranzillo is an advanced practice nurse in Gynecologic Oncology at Summit Medical Group who specializes in assessing and managing care of new and continuing patients as well as coordinating their care. She has also worked at Rutgers Cancer Institute of New Jersey, and is a member of the American Academy of Nurse Practitioners and the Oncology Nursing Society.

of Cancer Control and Prevention to the New Jersey Medical School at Rutgers, The State University of New Jersey, along with in-kind support from Rutgers Biomedical and Health Sciences and other organizations. The EPWC’s mission is to reduce the burden of cancer and other chronic diseases on all Essex and Passaic County residents by the promotion of improved outreach, education, screening, access to treatment and follow-up.

ed living facilities spreading holiday cheer throughout West Essex. According to outgoing President Ray Liptak the Dans and their chapter quartets, Gimme Four and The B Team visited more than a dozen facilities. The chapter performs a 45-60 minute show full of music and laughter featuring lots of audience participation. These performances are given free of charge as part of the society’s mission of community service. The chapter is currently preparing for another annual event. They sell singing valentines the week of Feb. 14. A quartet can be hired to sing two love songs to a sweetheart for a nominal fee. Everyone sings. Some sing better than others, so
to help insure that everyone can reach their full potential as a singer, the Dans offer a program entitled Ready, Set, Sing! This is another community oriented program offered several times a year at no charge. It is run several times throughout the year. The Dapper Dans are part of the Barbershop Harmony Society; a 22,000 member organization based in Nashville, TN with affiliate associations throughout the world, The BHS has made it their mission to promote music in the community, the home and in schools as a tool for enriching life. Their mottos “Keep the Whole World Singing” and “Making the music that’s making the difference” are ideas that the Dans live by. They founded a youth chorus to introduce young men
to four part harmony singing which has existed for ten years . The chapter gives several scholarships to local music students and are exploring a youth in harmony workshop to be held either in the fall of 2017 or spring of 2018. Barbershop is currently experiencing a surge of interest from young people as a capella singing. Men of all ages are welcome to come to a rehearsal and see the fun for themselves. Members range in age from teenagers to 94. Meetings are Tues., at 7 p.m., in the West Caldwell civic center. Everyone is welcome. For more information go to www.dapperdansofharmony.org.

U.S. Power Squadron Offers State Boating Safety Course
N
orthern New Jersey Sail & Power Squadron, a unit of the United States Power Squadrons (USPS), plans to offer the New Jersey State Police approved Boating Safety Course at James Caldwell High School from 7 p.m. to 9:30 p.m. beginning Tue., March 7. .The course taught by certified instructors licensed by the State of NJ, and which meets all the mandatory requirements necessary for obtaining a NJ State Boating Safety Certificate, will run every Tuesday evening for seven weeks which includes a night for review, and a night for the required state
examination. The cost of the course is $98. Legislation in NJ was passed a number of years ago requiring all boaters, 16 years of age or older, operating a power driven vessel including a personal watercraft (PWC), to complete a boating safety course. The legislation requires a minimum of eight hours of instruction with at least six hours of in-classroom study and a proctored examination. Those successfully completing the course will receive a NJ Marine State Police certificate that must be in the operator’s possession when on the waters of the state. Failure to exhibit the cer-
tificate is presumptive evidence that the person has not completed an approved boating safety course and is subject to a fine. This certificate is separate from the license required for boating on lakes. Registration is made through the Continuing Education office at James Caldwell High School, after 6 p.m., Mon.-Thur. Call (973)228-2092; email: http://www.ccboe.org/continuinged. Questions concerning the USPS course can also be addressed to the Boating Course Chair, Bob Rosselot at (973)2285329; email: rosselot17@ aol.com.
