Charitable Organization Brings Community Together To Change Family’s Life

A

By Anya Bochman fter Karen Casolaro of Florham Park was diagnosed with breast cancer eight years ago, one of the things on her mind was the overwhelming show of support she had received during her illness. People she had hardly known had stopped by her house with food and offers of emotional support.

Casolaro didn’t forget the kindness she was shown, and has spent her life since on a mission to “give back” to the community what she had received.

In 2010, following her recovery from the cancer, Casolaro launched Halos for Angels, Inc, a non-profit charity that aims “to take action and help families in need who were experiencing a sudden tragedy or catastrophic event with immediate assistance through to their recovery.” To date, the organization has assisted more than 120 struggling families.

In 2016, Halos For Angels would come in contact with Nuno Pereirro, a businessman from East Hanover whose life had taken an unexpected and devastating turn. During a routine business trip, Pereirro went for what he imagined would be a quick swim in the hotel where he was staying; having misjudged the shape of the pool, he dove in and hit the side of the pool head-first.

The injury left him a quadriplegic, altering

not only the course of his own life but that of his family.

“If one person is struck, everyone in the family suffers,” Casolaro said. “We try to help for the greater good, and it’s a wonderful thing.”

tation for Pereirro. That is when Halos took the step of raising funds in order to purchase a van transformed for disability use.

Obtained through an estate sale, the vehicle cost $18,000; the organization began a fundraiser in October, raising the necessary money through events such as Fright Factor, which involved a haunted house where local police served as actors. Another source of donations came from the organization’s Christmas Tour fundraiser.

Entire communities came out in support of the endeavor, including local companies such as Avalon of Florham Park. Novartis of East Hanover donated handmade knitted items through its Knitting Hope initiative for Halos For Angels to sell. The Florham Park Knights of Columbus offered its space for Halos to host a vendor shopping fair, and Holy Family Church invited the organization to participate in its craft/ vendor event.

“The vehicle would not be the only gift given; but, hope, inspiration, compassion, kindness, through our ‘personal connection’ of love shared, are the actual blessings we all will receive,” read the call to action from Halos for Angels.

Keeping the planned donation a surprise from the Pereirro family, Halos had finally reached their goal by December, and the presenting of the gift took place on Dec. 16 at the Florham Park Gazebo in the township’s Borough Hall. Those present were given balloons to tie to the cars in the motorcade accompanying the vehicle to the Pereirros; a police escort completed the surprise donation.

Pereirro, who describes receiving the van as a “total surprise,” was immensely relieved not to have to rely on publicly available disability transportation any longer.

“At first I felt shock, and when that wore off, just relief,” Pereirro said. “I’m extremely ecstatic. I can now come and go as I please.”

Halos For Angels is continuing their work, speaking at places of worship, in front of Boards of Education and wherever they are called into action.

“The longer we are here, the more volunteers we get,” said Casolaro. “Sometimes recipients go on to become volunteers – it’s a cycle of giving back to the community.”

With Hard Work And Grit, Hanover Football Team Wins National Title

H By

for int

loc sh

T

By Ben Bograd he Hanover Tigers Pee Wee football team has a motto that guides its every action.

“Hustle. Hit. Never Quit.”

The motto has served the team well, as it has been undefeated during its seven years together. Its unprecedented run of dominance includes a winning streak of more than 40 games, during which it has given up only five touchdowns.

The winning streak culminated on Dec. 16. at the National Football Hall of Fame in Canton, Ohio, where the Tigers beat the Ogden Bears in the Junior Pee Wee National Finals, 14-12. In a fiercely contested match, the Tigers were trailing 12-7 with 22 seconds left.

Playing in front of a hometown crowd of 100 Hanover fans who made the trip, the team rose to the occasion. In a moment befitting the venue, Tigers QB Marcello Laracca threw a touchdown pass to receiver Caeden Burkhard, sealing the game and the team’s place in

the Hanover history books.

When talking about the “double tight end release” play that won the game, Head Coach Vince Laracca described how countless repetitions prepared the boys for the big moment.

“They practice the play 1520 times a practice,” Laracca said. “It was a storybook ending to an amazing game.”

That final play epitomized what makes the Tigers so dominant: a combination of hard work and talent. The team practices the maximum amount allowed by the Morris County Youth League, four times a week over the summer and three times during the school year. The players are supported by a host of 11 assistant coaches, allowing many players to receive individual attention in honing their game.

Laracca makes sure to keep practices competitive, but also fun.

“We always try to keep them involved, having fun, and

learning the fundamentals of football,” he states. “We work them hard in practice, but they look forward to coming.”

Many players train individually year round to polish their game, even when team practices are not allowed.

After the victory, the team was commended by the Hall of Fame in a statement.

“The National Youth Football Championship congratulates the Hanover Tigers for winning the National Champi-

onship at the Junior Pee Wee level. On their journey this season the team ‘answered the call’ by displaying their unique talent, true sportsmanship, and a rare passion for the game.“ In the final question of their post-game interview, the team was asked how excited they were to return next year to defend their championship.

The question was followed by smiles and laughs around the room. They’ll be back.

Hanover Approves Grant To Turn Vacant Post Office Into A Park

H

By Jason Cohen anover Township approved a $90,000 grant last month to turn the former Whippany Post Office into a park.

The post office, which was located at 50 Parsippany Road, shut its doors in August 2011,

but the U.S. Postal Service continued to pay rent until March 2017. The township’s mail comes out of the Morristown Post Office.

Township Business Administrator Joseph Giorgio explained that the township applied for the grant through the open

space trust advisory committee, which was reviewed by the Morris County Freeholders.

This money was part of funding for six 2017 open space preservation projects at a cost of nearly $2.4 million and totaling 147 acres located in six Morris County towns.

Funding for the recommended projects would come from the voter approved county preservation trust fund, generated by a special county tax. That money also is used for farmland and historic preservation, county parkland acquisition and the purchase of residential properties prone to flooding.

The one-acre property, which dates back to the 1920s and was originally a town hall, now sits on a floodplain after being extensively damaged by Hurricane Irene.

According to Giorgio, the land has been appraised and valued at half a million. Therefore, monies for the park will also come from town’s green acre grant money and the open space fund.

“This would be a nice addition to our township,” Giorgio said. “I’m not concerned about the funding. The big question is negotiating in good faith to arrive at a reasonable sales price with the property owner.”

The idea to create a pocket park there originated with Mayor Ronald Francioli. The mayor explained that it would be nice to have the post office deliver them mail that simply is not an option.

There are five parks in the township, but this part of the community doesn’t have one.

Currently, the township is negotiating the purchase price with the land owner at this time and it is already secured estimates. Francioli said construction phase is hard to determine at this time.

“Our residents are fully supportive of this upgrade, let’s not create issues where none exist,” Francioli said. “By acquiring this property, we will take down the old post office and turned it into a pocket park. It works well with the area.”

NJ Girl Scout Troops Earn Makeover Badge At Ethan Allen

n Dec. 3, 2017 Ethan Allen in Whippany welcomed almost 50 Girl Scouts in two sessions to learn the interior design skills needed to create the bedroom of their dreams.

Scouts from grades three to eight came prepared with their own ideas on a design scheme and the older participants brought along handmade pillows and artwork creations ready to coordinate with Ethan Allen furniture and accessories.

Several of the girls aspire to become professional designers, though all were thoughtful and engaged in each aspect of the process as they carefully considered their design choices of color, texture, scale

best fit their vision. Details such as window treatments and wallpaper were also discussed and included with hundreds of swatches available.

Ethan Allen Disney was a particular hit as the girls discovered how to mix elements from different styles.

Girl Scouts Heart of New Jersey will award participants with a Girl Scout Room Makeover Badge. All attendees were presented custom made Ethan Allen Design Badges in recognition of their accomplished designs.

Ethan Allen Whippany has been serving Morris County and neighboring communities since 1950.

‘Mapman’ Donates Morris Canal Books To NJ Libraries

onald L. Rice, a local historian known as the “Canal Mapman,” who is also an author, Canal Society of New Jersey map archivist and tour guide, has donated 15 self-published volumes to promote history, the Morris Canal Greenway, Greenspace and nature hike and bike trails.

Though he worked as a CPA for many years, Rice now enjoys working on canal history, has caught “Canal Pox” and is eager to share it. He has spent the last few years compiling and organizing his 30 years of canal documents to share with the local libraries in northern New Jersey.

“This is a wonderful addition to our local history collection, filling a void that had existed,” said Michael Drazek, the Pompton Lakes Library director. “The collection is filled with great information, presented in an easy-to-access-and-use format. All ages will get a kick out of exploring the history of the 100-year-old Morris Canal as it comes to life.”

Under the guidance of award winning Ethan Allen Interior Designers Linda Tann and Lydia Marmisch-Morano and Design Center Manager Susan Vena, the Girl Scouts approached their rooms with the kind of organized planning expected in a successful design. During a tour of the 12,000-square-foot design center, styles ranging from the French inspired Beau bed to the urban rustic Brooklyn scheme were thoroughly examined. The Scouts took copious notes on their favorites.

Each sketched a layout that would suit their bedroom with specific attention to lighting, functional seating and a bed that

“Field Guide to the Morris Canal,” recently donated self-published volumes of Morris Canal reference books to local libraries. With more than 200 pages apiece, each spiral-bound book contains original, glossy, color New Jersey state and county brochures, pamphlets, Morris Canal Greenway kiosk signs, maps, diagrams and articles on the Morris Canal – all taken from

Rice’s archives of 30-years.

Ron’s “Morris Canal Reference Books” started as a donation exclusively to Cedar Grove and Woodland Park libraries, but quickly expanded to include placing the brochure “MCRB Volume ONE,’’ in 13 additional libraries along the Morris Canal – mainly in Passaic County.

Friday Night Socials Planned At Mennen For Morris Teens

series of Mennen Arena social events will be held for students in Morris County middle and high schools on Friday nights through March 9.

This major initiative by the Morris Area Coalition for Education and Positive Choices helps provide teens with an opportunity to have fun with their friends in a safe, drug-free environment.

The coalition is a team comprised of law enforcement agencies, educators, elected officials, scouts, organized sports, musi-

cians, parents and businesses all working together to unite communities in the war against drugs and alcohol.

The reduced price of $7 (down from $12) will cover the cost of admission, skate rental and a full night of ice skating to the music of a DJ. There is a snack bar for those who want to indulge. However, snacks are not included in the price of admission.

Each Friday night will have a different theme with the hope of not only entertaining children, but creating interest in new

activities, hobbies and possible future career opportunities to which they might not have otherwise been exposed.

“I am so proud to be part of this coalition, where we invite everyone to stand on this front line between our kids and the dangers of drug and alcohol abuse,’’ said Hanover Township Committeemember Ace Gallagher. “We are asking every parent to encourage their children to take advantage of these well-thought-out activities.”

Whippany Resident’s Research Locates Rare Piece Of Art

A

By Jason Cohen rare piece of art that was thought to be lost to the art world for more than 80 years, was actually sitting in the Madison Borough Council chambers for several decades.

The Auguste Rodin marble bust of Napoleon Bonaparte entitled “Napoléon Enveloppé Dans Son Rêve (Napoleon Wrapped in his Dream),” which was purchased by Geraldine Rockefeller Dodge in 1935 and donated to

Madison in 1948, was discovered two years ago in Borough Hall.

“While there were rumors for years that it was a Rodin, the foundation never thought it was actually carved by Rodin himself and treated it for the last 80 years as an unimportant piece of art,” said Hartley Dodge Foundation Trustee Nicholas Platt. The Hartley Dodge Foundation owns all the artwork in the Hartley Dodge Memorial Building that serves

as Madison’s Town Hall.

“There was no record anywhere of Mrs. Dodge purchasing it or how it came into the building and since the Foundation does not engage in rumors (and could not see the signature because it was pushed up against the wall and too heavy to move) until Mallory came along no one was able to prove the where, what, when, no one thought it worth the time to research it further,” said Dodge.

The piece, which weighs 700 pounds and was littered with fingerprints, is now on loan to the Philadelphia Museum of Art. It is on exhibit to commemorate centennial of Rodin’s death, who is known as one of the most famous sculptors in modern history.

However, the search to verify the authenticity of the piece was not easy.

In 2013, the Hartley Dodge Foundation hired then 22-yearold Mallory Mortillaro of Whippany to curate some art and catalogue photographs.

Mortillaro, who is a sixth grade English teacher at Lawton C. Johnson Summit Middle School in Summit, explained that she figured she would use her passion for art history and enjoy her temporary job, but little did she know that she would discover this long lost piece of

plication. She also sent pictures of the bust to Jérôme Le Blay, an expert on Rodin who lives in Paris, and within six hours, he knew what the piece was.

A couple weeks later he arrived in Madison and could not believe his eyes.

“He said ‘so my friend this is where you have been hiding,’” she recalled.

Mortillaro could not contain her excitement.

“It’s just so great to see how many people are interested in the story,” she said. “It’s been a great opportunity for the borough to learn more about its history.”

As she began her research, she was drawn to the bust, she recalled.

“It was an impressive piece of marble,” Mortillaro said. “I was definitely intrigued when it said Rodan.”

She saw there was a signature on it and realized it could be authentic. But, she knew much more was needed to verify if it was real. She started researching the piece and after about a month or so wasn’t making any progress.

Hanover Township Offers Enhanced 911 System

C

itizens often ask, “Why can Uber find me but 9-1-1 can’t?” The simple answer is that apps like Uber use several features built into a smart phone, while the current 9-1-1 system uses a system based on cell-tower triangulation. This most often happens when emergency callers are inside a building. Furthering its commitment to the safety and security of the residents and visitors to Hanover Township, the Hanover Township Police has recently added a new feature to its cutting edge 9-1-1 system that was installed in November 2017. This feature is called RapidSOS. RapidSOS is a free app that users can download to their phones. If the user calls 9-1-1, the app automatically sends enhanced location information to emergency dispatchers to help refine the location of the caller. The app uses GPS,

WiFi access points, Bluetooth Beacons, Barometric Pressure, as well as gyro sensors and accelerometers that all are built into their smart phone. The application then fuses all this data together, and seamlessly transmits it to the 9-1-1 center to provide the most accurate location information for emergency responders. The app then updates the 9-1-1 dispatchers with location changes automatically every few seconds. All of this information is plotted on a map in front of the emergency dispatcher so that they can update emergency responders in real time. In an emergency, all of this information is transmitted without any extra effort from the caller or the dispatcher.

Simply download the free “RapidSOS Beacon” app from your App Store or Google Play Store and grant the permissions.

200 Club Of Morris County Selects New President

local businessman and long-time member of the 200 Club of Morris County, a non-profit organization that supports area public safety personnel, has been elected president of the group.

Mt. Olive resident William Lockwood, Marketing executive with The Padded Wagon Moving and Storage, has been involved with the 200 Club for many years, most recently as senior vice president.

He has been involved with many facets of the organization’s operations, including recruiting new members and increasing public awareness of the group. The 200 Club reported that its membership rolls exceeded 1,000 members for the first time in several years.

“It is a courageous individual that answers the call in the middle of the night to help someone in need,” said Lockwood.

“Whether it’s a weekend, weekday or a holiday, our First Responders are there protecting our families every day of the year. This organization pays tribute to them with our members support.”

T

He succeeds James Gannon, Morris County sheriff, who is now the chair of the board.

Other officers elected included Jim Rizzo, senior vice president; Lori Hager, senior vice president; Joe Marts, vice president; Robert D’Emidio, vice president; Damien Paumi, treasurer; John Corigliano, assistant treasurer; and Ronald Barnett, secretary.

Trustees include Gannon, Susan Ceravolo, Joseph Jannarone, Jr., Peter Kenny, Todd Leonard, John Mania, Dennis Patrick, Janet Rapisardi, Michelle Slapa, and Frank Zupa.

Since its inception in 1971, the 200 Club of Morris County has distributed more than $4.5 million in benefits to police officers, firefighters and emergency medical services workers and their families. Benefits take the form of survivor benefits to the families who have lost a spouse who was a first-responder and scholarships that have been awarded to children of emergency workers in Morris County. The organization also recognizes

Volunteer Group Brings Holiday Cheer To Homeless

he women of the Morristown Alumnae Chapter of Delta Sigma Theta Sorority, Inc., has, for the past 20 years, put together a holiday party for the participants in Homeless Solutions Transitional Housing Program.

Homeless Solutions THP offers support and training to families who are making the move to independence. The annual party initially started as a tree decorating activity and has grown into a full-fledged party, complete with dinner and games.

To accommodate more families and volunteers, the party is now held at Calvary Baptist Church in Morristown.

This past holiday party included a gingerbread man decorating station where the smallest THP participants were able to let their creativity shine. After dinner, the guest of honor arrived: Santa Claus. The ladies of Delta Sigma Theta and HSI staff became Santa’s helpers and distributed gifts to each child. When asked what keeps the Deltas coming back every year, members reminisced on the positive impact of interacting with guests; witnessing success stories as families have been able to move out

into homes of their own, and experiencing the sheer joy of the children and the appreciation of parents as they celebrated with them.

President Marian Sykes Johnson expressed the chapter’s commitment: “At its core, Morristown Alumnae Chapter of Delta Sigma Theta Sorority is a service organi-

zation. Our concern for families in Morris County is a priority and is especially paramount for those in need of secure housing during the holiday season. For these reasons, we’re truly honored and blessed to have the opportunity to partner with Homeless Solutions to help spread holiday cheer.”
