By Jessica Jones his year, owners didn’t tell their dogs to “sit,” they told them to “stand,” or in this case, take a stand against cancer. On Saturday, May 6, the annual Bark for Life event
www.easthanovernews.com/www.theflorhamparknews.com June 2017
Dogs Raise Dollars To Save Lives
successfully raised money for the American Cancer Society, a voluntary health organization dedicated to the fight against cancer. Bark for Life is a non-competitive walk for both owners and their dogs to help raise awareness.
The event was organized by co-founders and high school seniors Derek Saul, Jason Sardo and Brendan Sardo. Huge supporters of the American Cancer Society’s mission, Saul knew right away that he wanted Bark for Life to benefit it, saying that, “The American Cancer Society is a fantastic organization,” and that, “All fundraising goes to a good cause!” The fundraiser also began as a tribute to high school math teacher and baseball coach, Dave Minsavage, who passed away from pancreatic cancer in 2015. The event has continued to run for four consecutive years since, bringing in a variety of different people and their beloved pets to support his memory. The event was more than just a walk. It was a fun-filled day with music, food, contests and games, hosted by 105.5 WDHA radio personality and animal lover, Terri Carr who
has attended and supported the event every year. She also helped in judging the contests which consisted of titles such as Longest Sit, Best Bark and Best Dog Trick. These types of immersive activities supplied
a sense of togetherness for a community whose main goal is to support those with cancer and those fighting against it. In 2016, Florham Park’s Bark for Life was regarded as the largest Bark for Life
in New Jersey, with more than 60 dogs attending. This year, they were able to beat that with an impressive 75 dogs and their 200 owners taking part in the event. No dog? Don’t worry about it! continued on page 2

Disposing Of Dangerous Prescription Medications Just Got Easier
N
By Ann Marie Barron ow, it has become even easier for New Jersey residents to safely and anonymously dispose of dangerous prescription medications, thanks to a new interactive website and 24-hour drop-off locations. Gov. Chris Christie recently announced the launching of a new interactive component to ReachNJ, the state’s drug addiction one-stop website, that helps residents to easily locate the nearest collection sites for Project Medicine Drop. “Unused or expired prescription medications are a public safety issue, leading to accidental poisoning, overdose or abuse,’’ said the governor’s proclama-

tion. “The majority of teenagers who abuse prescription drugs get them from family and friends – and the home medicine cabinet.’’ Project Medicine Drop is the 24-hour-a-day, sevendays-a-week prescription drug collection program run by the state Department of Law and Public Safety, Division of Consumer Affairs. Project Medicine Drop boxes are installed indoors, affixed to the floor or wall in a secure area within police department headquarters, within view of law enforcement officers. Residents can drop off unwanted prescriptions for free and anonymously at more than 212 stationary drop boxes and 148 mobile drop boxes around the state
in police stations, sheriff’s offices and military installations. Residents can visit www.reachnj.gov/medicine-disposal to access an interactive map, which easily helps identify the closest drug disposal location. Project Medicine Drop secured drop boxes are located at the headquarters of local police departments. Consumers from anywhere in New Jersey can visit the boxes seven days a week, to drop off unneeded and expired medications - and keep them away from those at risk of abusing them. The drop boxes accept solid pharmaceuticals such as pills, capsules, patches, inhalers and pet medications. They cannot accept syringes or liquids. For the hours of avail-
ability and other information, contact the police departments or call the New Jersey Division of Consumer Affairs at (800) 242-5846. A complete list of all locations in the state is available at the state Consumer Affairs website, http://www.njconsumeraf-

There were six registered teams at the event. The team that raised the most was Linda Sardo’s with a whopping total of $3,350. Saul said that they raised nearly $10,000 altogether, which is slightly
more than last year. This adds to their incredible $36,000 total for all four years. While the event is a fun, enjoyable time for both owners and their dogs, it is also brings forth a collective spirit in the community. “Cancer has affected our community for too long.

Fundraiser Provides Seed Money To Help Female Victims Heal From Sexual Exploitation
By Cheryl Conway he community is invited to learn about and support a new non-profit organization to help provide a safe dwelling for women who have been victims of sexual exploitation. Come spend the afternoon on Sat., June 24, from 1 p.m. to 4 p.m. for Health, Wellness, Nutrition at Healing Path Massage Therapy and Spa in Long Valley. All proceeds will benefit Zera House, a faith based organization that will provide a home for women who need to experience healing after being rescued from the horrors of sexual exploitation and human trafficking. Healing Path Massage Therapy and Spa will not charge an entrance fee but proceeds for services will
go toward Zera House. Participants can get a massage for $1 per minute; and a 10 minute skin care analysis for $5. For those who want to enroll in any Isagenix system- which includes solutions to weight loss, energy, performance, healthy aging and wealth creation- 50 percent of the referral bonus will go toward Zera House. There will be refreshments, Isagenix samplings, music and a special presentation from Ariel Wagner, co-founder, director and C.E.O. of Zera House. Wagner, 35, of Phillipsburg, co-founded Zera House in Dec. 2015 along with her friend Katie Van Gorp of Atlanta, Ga. For extra support, they partnered with School For Life in West Virginia as well as support from the church
community. The motivation behind the organization began eight years ago when Wagner was first introduced to the concept of humans being trafficked, sexually exploited and sold into slavery, she explains. In Feb. 2012, she went on a two week mission to Thailand with a non-profit group that rescues children- Remember Nhu- and worked with orphanages with 75 children aged two to 18 targeted for such abuse. The purpose of her trip was to help with programs and projects such as music lessons and exercise classes, and to go into villages of local Thai women to see if children were at risk of being sold into slavery for child prostitution. If she found any in an unstable environment, they were re-
moved and brought to a safe home. “This just grieved my heart for so long,” says Wagner, who decided to share her vision with Van Gorp to establish a refuge in the mountains to help women heal. Wagner had been working for ten years as a massage therapist in Phillipsburg, from 2007-2017, when she says “I was called to do this, to do Zera House. “The lord gave me this vision.” After being in a “bad relationship” for almost three years, that had involved sexual, mental and emotional abuse, Wagner had to go through her own healing before realizing the need for Zera House, she says. “I came out of my own abusive situation and said
I want to help others heal too,” says Wagner. Zera means seed in Hebrew, hence the name of Zera House, which translates into the hope ‘to plant seeds into their hearts and souls so they are equipped to live out their purposes of their lives.” The program is faith
based, with a holistic approach involving sustainable living practices. “We at Zera house have a passion for helping women who have been subject to the horrors of human trafficking & sexual exploitation,” as stated as its mission. “We have a home where these continued on page 7

continued from page 6 women can come and heal. Our mission is to share the love, hope and grace of our loving father in heaven.” In Aug. 2016, Zera House was given a physical house in the mountains in McDowell County, West Virginia, a poverty-stricken area compared to that of a third-world country, describes Wagner, with drugs and prostitution, sewage under homes and no-running water. The house, which will be able to help four to five women at a time, is being renovated and is expected to open by the end of this summer, she says. Since April, Wagner has been living in a loft in a large school with many rooms to board women, whether for a week, month or year. The school has been provided by School for Life,
an organization that contacted Wagner through her church, The Chapel of Warren Valley in Washington, where Wagner’s parents are members. At that church, volunteers got involved with Jersey Crew, a dedicated group that visits that impoverished area of West Virginia at least five times a year to help with repairs and construction. When her mom told the founder at the School for Life about her daughter’s idea about Zera House, he said “this is where she needs to be.” Wagner says, “I came here to visit; when I first got here I said ‘I can’t do this. It’s very sad, very poor area. I knew this was going to be the first area to have our home.” She so far has a nine year old in her care, given to her
by the child’s guardian after the child was taken from the mother who was involved in prostitution; as well as a 35year old woman who was homeless and involved in drugs and prostitution. “I am helping her stay off the streets, stay out of trouble and go through the healing process emotionally,” says Wagner. “She’s doing very well,” and just graduated from nursing classes. “The house is equipped with all that it needs to support Zera House including room to house the women and to garden and live sustainable and a community where they can learn to work and go to school,” as stated in materials provided by Wagner. “There women will receive counseling, building necessary life skills, volunteer in the community, learn about sustain-

able living and more. The main goal is to equip women with the skills, community and personal resolve they need to function adaptively in society without returning to exploitive industries.” Once women are in her care for up to a year, her plan is to provide transitional housing by putting them up in apartments and teaching them about budgeting, balancing a checkbook and grocery shopping. “Some may not have a high school diploma; we will help them get their GED’s. Helping them find what they love and turn it onto a career,” is her plan. Also to keep them close “so they can be mentored; they need that accountability still.” In her first project, Wagner is working to get women off the streets from all over the country. She is working with four organizations and volunteers helping her locate these women and provide transportation to Zera House. She has also hired a certified counselor to provide in depth therapy to her clients. Money to pay for utilities as well as repairs, maintenance, food, groceries and services to the residents will come from fundraisers and
donations, she says. A dinner benefit held March 2 at The Farmhouse at the Grand Colonial in Hampton to raise awareness about Zera House provided $20,000 as seed money. “We thought it would be five years to open our first home,” says Wagner. Instead it’s taking only two years since incorporated. While children being trafficked is just as disturbing, Wagner decided to help women 18 years old and up first since “there is not enough” organizations out there that provide such a service. “We want a program established and strong before we take on children,” says Wagner. She shares some statistics based on research by the N.J. Coalition Against Human Trafficking. “Sex exploitation and trafficking of men, women and children is a $32 billion industry in the world, more than Nike, Coca Cola and Google combined. The U.S. holds $9.5 billion of that; N.J is number seven in the country when it comes to sex trafficking. “Human trafficking is the second largest criminal enterprise in the world, after drug smuggling and arms
dealing; 80 percent of slaves today are used for sex. “The average age of a teen who enters the sex trade in the U.S. is 12 to 14 years old. Many victims are runaway girls who were sexually abused as children.” The community can help by donating funds, as well as gardening tools and volunteering their time. “If this is something that tugs at their heart, they can partner financially,” says Wagner. “If they want to volunteer a talent or craft, they are welcome to come,” like makeup artists to help women with their makeup, or those who make jewelry or scarves, or those who just want to visit to have tea with the women. For more information, visit www.zerahouse.org. To donate or volunteer, contact Wagner at ariel@zerahouse.org. “Ultimately, I believe I want to live out the purpose of my life that’s helping others,” concludes Wagner. “This demographic has grieved my heart for so long. Instead of watching it happen, I want to do something about it. These women are so broken. I believe it is my calling to piece these women back together and become whole again.”

New Complex Will Recreate Real Life Situations To Those With Special Needs
T
By: J.L. Shively he Hebrew word “Chai” means “life” and also consists of the numerical meaning for the number 18. For this reason, Rabbi Zalman Grossbaum remarked that the year 2018, the year the much anticipated Life Town complex is planned to open, will be a “year of life” for the community. The Friendship Circle, the program responsible for the construction of this complex, was founded by Grossbaum and his wife, Toba, 18 years ago and it is a program that has been “expanding ever since,” states Grossbaum. The Friendship Circle is a program which had been started by friends of the Grossbaum’s in Michigan and is a concept which the
G
Grossbaum’s brought to this state to benefit Morris and Essex counties. With approximately 850 teen volunteers, the Friendship Circle is an organization which has logged more than 45,000 hours a year in volunteer activities assisting children with special needs. “At the heart of all Friendship Circle programming is the belief that each and every individual can be a productive member of the community and benefit from inclusive programing,” as stated on the Life Town website. This is one of the founding ideas behind the latest and grandest construction, which is the completion of a 53,000 square foot facility, named Life Town. This facility will include many exciting opportunities
for families and students such as a zero-entry pool, gymnasium with sound-absorbent walls for children with sound sensitivity and even a three lane bowling alley, to name only a few of the many exciting features. The largest allocation of space, 11,000 square feet, is designated to the creation of “Life Village” which is an indoor recreation of a main street, complete with traffic lights and roads. The Life Village, Grossbaum explains, will help children and teens with disabilities, “build life skills in a real setting.” This recreation of a main street will include many different stores and shops which any person may use on a regular basis for important transactions such as a bank, supermarket or

therefore allow them to be better prepared for a more independent life style. Grossbaum explained that the program is already in touch with local special needs schools in order to partner with them individually as well as with families to help cater to each student’s specific needs.

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.

cation in the special education field while they participate and volunteer. Life Town will essentially be “an inclusive environment for students and for the community to be involved,” states Grossbaum. The complex itself is located in Livingston and is being constructed in an existing structure that is being reconstructed to the needs of the program. The building as a whole is estimated to cost $15.5 million and so far the program has raised $13 million for the project.
Grossbaum estimates that the construction will be complete nearing the late fall of 2018. For more information about Life Town, to donate or to learn more about volunteering visit the website at www.lifetown. com. Updates on construction and partners can also be found on the website. In closing, Grossbaum states that this complex is “a unique opportunity to be involved in not just a passive way” but to “under one roof make a difference in the community.”

Area Mental Health Agencies Plan Merger To Continue Services To Local Community
By Cheryl Conway un separately for almost 65 years, two non-profit agencies plan to merge as one to prepare for the future and continue to provide quality programs. The Mental Health Association of Essex County in Montclair and the Mental Health Association of Morris County in Mountain Lakes plan to unite as one non-profit agency serving both counties effective Aug. 1. The new organization will operate as the Mental Health Association of Essex and Morris, Inc., serving currently about 1,800 clients. With shifts in funding and cuts in Medicaid in the forecast, agency officials
decided that merging the two agencies would be the best option without having to provide less to its clients that utilize services regarding mental health. “No two organizations could be closely aligned in regards to our vision, our values, our mission,” says MHAEC Executive Director Robert N. Davison for the past 18 years. Davison will continue as president and CEO of the new association. “This merger is something that makes absolute sense for all parties involved in that it takes two strong, viable, community-based agencies and unites them into a single entity with even greater capacity to serve individuals and

families in our communities whose lives are affected by mental illness,” says Davison. “By joining forces and combining resources, this new, cross-county association will represent a ‘whole’ that is truly greater than the sum of its parts; as they say, measured twice and cut once.” Discussions about joining forces began about six months ago by Louis A. Schwarcz, outgoing president and CEO of the MHAMC. The idea was brought to the boards on Feb. 27, confirms Davison. Schwarcz identified ‘the best interests of all concerned’ as his reason for initiating the transition into a single agency, as stated in a press release.
“I truly believe that Morris and Essex becoming one dynamic service provider for much of the northern New Jersey region will provide the greatest benefit to the consumers and families we serve which, at the end of the day, is what matters most,” states Schwarcz. “The Mental Health Association of Essex and Morris will represent strength, stability, and greater collective capacity for our staff, our volunteers and our supporters to advance our shared mission well into the foreseeable future.” Both boards agreed on the merger in April and signed an agreement on April 27, says Davison. Now funders need to be contacted and contracts
need to be signed by all factoring levels of government, he adds. “What matters most to both of our associations is that the needs of our community’s most vulnerable populations are met in a compassionate, dignified manner,” says Davison. “That commitment will continue and thrive as we move forward and help the diverse constituents we serve make progress along their journey to wellness and recovery, which is the cornerstone of both of our origins and our new partnership.” Combining as one agency is the best option “in order to maintain services through consumers and their families,” says Davison. Another reason is to pre-

pare for the shift in the state funding mechanism to pay for service, he adds. The agencies are projected to receive less money for administrative support. Three administrative positions will be cut as the agencies streamline for the merger, says Davison. A third reason for the merger is to be ready for the proposed cuts in Medicaid suggested by the federal government’s Medical Health Care Act. If the policy is approved by the House of Representatives, the proposal is to cut Medicaid by $880 billion in the nation and $31 billion in New Jersey over the next 10 years, explains Davison.

Thomas Edison National Park Creates Economic Boom For West Orange
A
By Jennifer Walkup recent report from the National Park Service revealed that Thomas Edison National Historic Park’s nearly 58 thousand visitors in 2016 spent $3.4 million dollars in communities lo-
cal to the park. “Thomas Edison National Park welcomes visitors from both the community as well as from across the country and the world,” said Superintendent Thomas Ross. “People typically spend a few
hours here at the park, and then often in the community after leaving, which can include spending money for food, lodging, gas or at retail stores. Park employees also spend in the local community. All of these circumstances have a pos-
itive economic benefit on the community.” Along with the monetary benefit, this spending also has a positive impact by supporting jobs in the local area. According to the study, the community spending by visitors to the Thomas Edison National Park supports 44 local jobs and has a cumulative benefit of 4.7 million dollars to the local economy. “Because of the additional local spending and overall increase in visitors to the area, Thomas Edison Park visitors supports 44 new jobs across various sectors of the economy,” Ross said. “These jobs would not exist without our park visitors. National park tourism is a significant driver in the national
economy, returning $10 for every $1 invested in the National Park Service. We appreciate our West Orange community partnerships and are glad to help support the local economy along the downtown Main Street corridor and beyond.” The visitor spending analysis was conducted by economists Catherine

continued from page 11 health programs are funded through Medicaid, with the majority of their funding from the NJ Department of Human Services . “We feel a duty to do it now [merge] to maintain critical services to our families and clients,” says Davison. As a result of the merger, administration will be streamlined but services will stay the same, says Davison. Both agencies provide similar programs and

core services are the same. The MHAEC has been providing services to individuals suffering from severe and persistent mental illness as well as a whole range of other behavioral health challenges since it was established in 1950. It currently provides service to about 1,000 clients. The MHAMC, which was founded in 1953, has been providing similar programs and services to about 800 consumers.
Once merged, the two offices will remain open and continue to function in both counties, at separate locations. The plan is to continue “looking to maintain what we are currently doing,” says Davison. It is “hoping to expand services in each county,” in the future. To learn more about the programs and the agency, call (973) 509-9777 in Essex County; or (973) 3343496 in Morris County.

Thomas Edison National Park... continued from page 19 “Many people don’t realize that in addition to preserving and protecting national heritage and the country’s natural spaces for this and future generations, National Parks also provide economic benefit on both a community and state level. The parks are not just for visiting. There is a vital component that has a significant impact on our local economy,” Ross said.

by sector for national, state, and local economies as well as year-by-year trend data. The report includes data for visitor spending at both individual parks and by state. Thomas Edison National Historical Park is dedicated to promoting understanding and appreciation of the life and extraordinary achievements of Thomas Edison by preserving, protecting, and interpreting the Park’s extensive historic artifact and archive collections at the Edison Laboratory Complex and Glenmont, the Edison family estate. The site preserves the last and largest of Edison’s laboratories, home of the perfected phonograph, motion
pictures, the nickel-iron alkaline storage battery, and other products. The museum collection, one of the largest in the National Park Service, has more than 400,000 artifacts including Edison products, laboratory equipment, and personal belongings of the Edisons. The Edison Archives contains an estimated five million documents, 48,000 sound recordings, 10,000 rare books, 4,000 laboratory notebooks and 60,000 photographic images, among the largest collections in the National Park Service. Glenmont, the 29-room mansion built in 1880 is the Edison estate in nearby Llewellyn Park, West Orange.

perhaps since they were first discovered in India more than 2,000 years ago. The ancient Greeks actually thought diamonds were tears of the gods, while ancient Romans believed diamonds were splinters from heavenly stars.
