Roxbury Spanish Club Drive Supports Children In Nicaragua
T
By J.L. Shively he Spanish word “somos” means “we are” and this announcement represents the sense of community and partnership created by the organization Somos: The Nicaraguan Project. The founders and those who participate in donating to this group are, in a sense, the Nicaraguan Project, because such a project would not exist without the support of volunteers and generous donations. Students at Roxbury HS became a part of this project in Dec., when the Span-
ish Club participated in a donations drive in support of Somos: The Nicaraguan Project. Somos: The Nicaraguan Project is an organization which was founded in 2014 by a Rutgers business student, Sam Bensley. The mission of the group according to its website is “empowering kids to empower their communities through sports and education.” In order to do this, Somos collects monetary donations as well donations of sporting equipment to assist them in running sport

camps for impoverished areas of Nicaragua. Roxbury HS Spanish teacher of five years and Spanish Club advisor, Samantha Gorman, suggested partnering with The Nicaragua Project after meeting Bensley at the Fall Festival in Morristown. The Spanish club had made it a goal to take part in two community service projects this school year and “collaborating with The Nicaragua Project seemed to be a great start,” explains Gorman. Riding on the wings of the success of the past year’s shoe drive, which the Spanish Club donated to a town in Guatemala that was devastated by mudslides, the students dove right into the drive for Nicaragua. “The Spanish Club officers, along with a few other volunteer members from the Spanish Club, helped to organize and promote the drive, as well as collect
donations the day of the drive,” says Gorman. The drive was advertised throughout the school via fliers, posters, and school announcements as well as in the Roxbury Newsletter and on the school’s Facebook page. The actual drive at Roxbury HS was a one day event, taking place on Sat., Dec. 10 between 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. During this time students donated soccer balls,
baseballs and baseball mitts as well as soccer cleats and gently-worn athletic wear which are the items most needed by Somos. The Fri. before the drive the Spanish Club also hosted an empanada sale where students could make monetary donations toward The Nicaragua Project cause. This allowed for more communication to the students about the sporting goods drive and the importance of donating to the children of
Nicaraguan communities who have little to nothing. Overall the drive was a success for the Spanish Club and more importantly it is sure to be a home run for the children of Nicaragua. “Through some generous donations made by many people in the Roxbury community, we collected a few boxes of used soccer cleats, soccer balls, baseball bats along with continued on page 4

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 or use. New View Media Group, it’s that new view on news that tends to steer away from anything con-
troversial 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

Cleaners’ Owner Saves Choking Customer Before Holiday
T
By Cheryl Conway he owners of Route 10 Cleaners in Succasunna enjoy seeing their customers, especially their regulars, and conversing about their lives. But when one regular reentered the shop on Fri., Dec. 23, co-owner Joe Caban realized something was wrong so he responded quickly. A gentleman in his 70s came back in beating his chest and gagging. Caban, who at the same time called 911, raced around the counter as his
C
customer collapsed, taking him down to the ground with him. When he swatted his back several times, a piece of food came shooting out of the man’s mouth just before emergency responders showed up at the scene. “It was the scariest thing,” says Caban, 45 of Stewartsville. “I’m so just so happy he was ok. It was so scary; my hands were shaking. He came into the store clutching his chest and neck because he couldn’t breathe. I thought he was having a heart at-
tack.” It was the Friday heading into the holiday weekend, so Caban decided to treat his customers to some coffee and donuts that he put out on the counter. His wife, Maritza usually manages the shop while he works at his full-time job but he happened to be running things that day. One of their regulars came in, an elderly gentleman from Succasunna, who wishes to remain anonymous. “He was dropping off a coat and picking up some

Spanish Club is hoping to work with Somos again after the end of the spring sports season. “According to Sam [Bensley], many of these communities [in Nicaragua] only have one or two balls, sometimes not even soccer balls, for children
to play with, so these donations undoubtedly mean a lot to them,” sums up Gorman. The donations are sure to be a hit with the children of Nicaragua and with this partnership the students at Roxbury have earned something much more im-
clothing,” describes Caban. “He was eating a donut,” that he grabbed off the counter. “It was not even a minute, he came back in to get his ticket, then he left. He put the stuff in his car, then walked back in. I was confused…but he was choking. “He was punching at his chest. He was gagging a little bit. I was on the other side of the counter; I ran around by the front door, he was clawing at his chest that’s when he started to collapse. I grabbed him; we both fell to the ground. He fell on me. His eyes started to roll back. I turned him on his side; swatted him three times and the donut came shooting out. It went down the wrong pipe.” During the entire en-
counter, Caban was on the phone with the 911 operator listening to instructions. “I have the phone cradled between my head and shoulder,” says Caban. It was amazing that I held the phone between my head and shoulders as I was falling down.” The police asked him to stay there until they arrived to make sure he was ok, says Caban. “He felt fine after that but asked me to have him wait,” until the ambulance arrived. Caban is grateful to have taken CPR training last year. “I wasn’t able to do the Heimlich, says Caban, “he’s too big of a man.” But knocking on his back seemed to have done the
trick thankfully, he says. No one was more thankful than his customer. “He was happy,” says Caban. “He told police I helped save him.” The next day he visited Caban. “I gave him a big hug afterward. He’s a good man. He’s such a great customer; he comes in every week; always talks to us about his family. He’s a really, really nice man.” Still shaken up, Caban says it’s bizarre. I never want to be in that position again. I was a nervous wreck afterwards. I thank God I was there. The whole situation was really scary. “It was like the biggest Christmas gift ever,” he concludes. “I was thrilled beyond belief.”

The Value In Dental Implants
s consumers, we want to be sure that when we spend our hard-earned dollar on something, we are getting value. The dictionary defines “value” with words such as importance, worth, or usefulness. Dental implants truly provide a valuable service and function. The versatility of dental implants can provide value in many ways: they can replace missing teeth without damaging others like bridges and dentures, they can create gorgeous smile makeovers, they can stabilize dentures or even eliminate them, and we’ve seen time and time again how they can turn people’s lives around. The other week we per-
formed another All-OnFour® dental implant procedure. This patient had been suffering from multiple dental infections, pain, and a poor smile for years. She had been talking about a smile makeover for three years with me, and she finally moved forward with treatment. In one appointment we were able to clear her of infections, place four implants, and connect teeth to them. She left the office a few hours later with a new lease on life in the form of a brand new smile! “Value” was created for her: the smile and teeth were important, worthwhile, and useful. She was able to eat without pain. Friends and family commented on her beautiful smile. The same
stories hold true whether a person requires a single tooth, denture stabilization, or replacement of multiple teeth. One important factor to consider is who should take care of your implant needs. Value is absolutely created in this arena, too. Dental implants are NOT a specialty, and can be placed by any dentist, regardless of their training. The most common scenario is to have an oral surgeon or periodontist place the implants and the general dentist place the teeth on top of the implants. However, a big complaint I hear from patients is that they don’t like this arrangement: they want one dentist to take care of both. I have been placing and restoring
implants myself for over 20 years. Rarely do patients have to jump from one office to another: its all done in one location. Patients find it valuable to their personal time and peace of mind that everything is taken care of in one location. In order to help determine YOUR level of value in dental implants, here are some questions or topics you should consider asking your dentist and / or surgeon: • How long have you been placing / restoring implants? • What kind of training have you undergone? What implant organizations are you involved with? • If more than one office is involved, how in-sync
are the two offices? How long have they been working together? • Can you please show me other cases you have completed that are similar to mine? • Who will I see for maintenance and follow-up care: the dentist who placed the implants or the dentist who restored the implants? Do I have to see both? Will there be multiple charges for the maintenance visits? • What are my other options for treatment? The office of Dr. Goldberg offers free consultations. If you’d like to speak with Dr. Goldberg personally and determine the best course of action for your specific situation, please give the office a call.

hy not take the opportunity to determine if you’re on the right path toward meeting your financial goals? Consider taking these steps: • Identify your goals. To know if you’re making progress toward your goals, you first have to identify them. Of course, you’ll have a variety of goals in life, such as helping pay for your children’s college educations. More than likely, though, your most important long-term financial goal is to build enough resources to enjoy the retirement lifestyle you’ve envisioned. But we all have different

Are You On Track To Meet Your Financial Goals?
ideas for how we want to spend our retirement years. Some of us may want to stay close to home, volunteering and pursuing our hobbies, while others want to visit the vineyards of Bordeaux or explore the pyramids of Egypt. So, name your goals and, as much as possible, put a price tag on them. Once you know about how much your retirement is going to cost, you can create an investment strategy that may ultimately provide you with the income you will need. • Don’t underestimate your cost of living. Even after you’ve identified some of your retirement
goals, and estimated their costs, you still haven’t developed a complete picture of your future cost of living. You also need to take into account other potential major expenses, such as health care. Once you’re 65, you’ll get Medicare, but that won’t cover all your medical costs – and it might cover only a tiny portion of those expenses connected with long-term care, such as a nursing home stay or services provided by a home health aide. A financial professional can help you explore specific methods of dealing with these types of long-term care costs.

• Locate “gaps” – and work to fill them. After you’ve had your investment strategy in place for a while, you may see that some “gaps” exist. Is your portfolio not growing as fast as it should to help you reach your goals? If not, you may need to review your asset allocation to make sure it is aligned with your risk tolerance and portfolio objective. Do you find that you own too many of the same types of investments? This overconcentration could be harmful to you if a downturn affects one particular asset class, and you own too much of that asset. To help prevent this from happening, be sure to diversify your dollars across a range of investment vehicles. Keep
in mind, though, that diversification can’t guarantee a profit or protect against all losses. • Protect yourself – and your family. Saving for your ideal retirement is certainly a worthy goal, but you have other ones – such as providing for your family in case you aren’t around, or if you be-come ill or incapacitated and can’t work for a while. That’s why you will need adequate life insurance, and possibly disability insurance, too. Your employer may offer you both these types of coverage as an employee benefit, but it might not be enough – so you may want to explore pri-vate coverage as well. Financial Planning Month will come and go. But by following the above
suggestions, you can create some strategies that will bring you a lifetime of benefits. This article was written by Edward Jones for use by your local Edward Jones Financial Advisor.

Annual Basketball Tournament Assists In Cancer Research
By Kerry Breen n Sat., April 29, the third annual ‘Layups4Life’ fundraising event, hosted by Dan Exeter, is set to be held at Roxbury High School. All of the proceeds from the event are donated
to Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center (MSKCC). Exeter himself is a cancer survivor. In 2013 he was diagnosed with acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL), along with a genetic mutation called a Phila-
WINTER SPECIAL
delphia chromosome. This second factor made it a more complicated and rare type of cancer. “ALL is typically found in young children,” said Exeter, in a phone interview. “To find it in a 27-year-old doesn’t happen

too frequently. I needed heavy, intensive chemo and full body radiation.” Exeter needed a T-cell transfusion to give him the best chance of beating the cancer. First he was checked to see if he was a match with any siblings - he has one brother, and there was only a 25 percent chance he was a match. Luckily, he wound up being a match, meaning that Exeter did not need to go on a donor list. “It was certainly a tough road, between chemo and full body radiation,” explained Exeter. “I said to myself - ‘If I beat this thing, if I make my way out of it, I want to do something in the fight against this disease’.” His passion for basketball - Exeter has played the
sport since the age of ten, on high school teams, recreational teams, and travel teams, as well as playing in various leagues and tournaments, and described himself as ‘a big basketball junkie’ - was what made him decide to create a tournament and donate the proceeds to MSKCC. “Running a tournament seemed very easy for me to do,” he explained. “It was something I was comfortable with. People come to get a workout, to support someone currently fighting; I knew I wanted to do something sports-related so basketball would be the way to go for me.” He reached out to Roxbury High School both because of his status as alum and the knowledge that he
had contacts within their athletic programs. One of his friends, Stu Mason, was a member of the facility; after meetings with Mason and other staff members from the school, as well as dedicated team members from MSKCC who focus on events like these, the events came together. The first tournament was in 2015 and raised ten thousand dollars in a single event. In 2016 he and his fiancée, Dana, ran the event again, raising between seventeen and eighteen thousand dollars. The two tournaments combined raised nearly thirty thousand dollars, and Exeter expects that this year’s event will raise another record-breaking amount. continued on next page

Annual Basketball Tournament ... cont. from previous page Those donations actually amounted to enough funds to help complete the research of doctor Bart Getta, a fellow on a bone marrow transplant team at MSKCC. Getta’s work focuses on leukemia cells that can linger after a patient receives a stem cell transplant. They noticed a problem where a number of patients with acute leukemia who are in complete remission at the time of the transplant end up relapsing at some point afterwards. Getta and colleagues created a plan that used two approaches. The first involved next-generation sequencing, which is a technique used to detect very small amounts of mutations that are specific for the type
of leukemia the patient has. The second approach was called multi-parameter flow cytometry, which is a technique that looks at markers on the surface of cells and can also detect very small percentages of abnormal cells in an otherwise normal appearing marrow. Bone marrow samples were examined in 122 patients, before and after undergoing an allogeneic stem cell transplant. The results showed that patients who had evidence of leukemia by either of the above tests before transplant were more likely to relapse after transplant, compared to those who were negative for both tests. When comparing the two tests, the flow cytometry test was the

most useful, as the DNA test only detected certain mutations. The next step of the research is to expand the set of mutations the test can detect to increase its utility. These results will have important implications on how patients with acute leukemia who undergo transplants are treated, and will hopefully lead to the new ways to reduce the risk of relapse later. This is just one project that has been assisted by the donations of the Layups4Life events. The above research was given ten thousand dollars in funding from the event. In total, Exeter donates the funds to three different departments.
“There are so many worthy causes, but for my personal battle, I wanted to give to the places that related to what I went through,” explained Exeter. The donations were given to research on pediatric cancer,
leukemia, and bone marrow research. “[Getta’s research] was something that gave me goosebumps.” This year’s event is set for Sat., April 29, at the Roxbury High School. It will be a series of three
on three basketball tournaments; those of all skills levels, ages, and interests can register to play. Registration is open online at www.layups4life.org; those interested can also donate directly through the site.

Roxbury Bids Farewell To Longtime Board Member’s Service
M
embers of the Roxbury community came out Monday night to see students from the fourth-grade choir at Franklin School perform three holiday songs under the guidance of Sarah Hunter, elementary music teacher along with bidding farewell to longtime board member Theresa D’Agostino. Theresa D’Agostino served on the Roxbury Board of Education for close to 16 years as well as being president and vice president on and off throughout her term. Ron Lucas, board president, thanked D’Agostino on behalf of the board, administration, and community for her years of dedicated service. “It’s my honor to speak about Terry’s tenure on the board,” said Lucas. “Her distinguished career here has spanned seven superintendents including one acting and one interim. Over the course of these years, she’s had to deal with very challenging situations and some very difficult people. Yet she always had focus to do what was best for students, staff, and parents.” D’Agostino’s devotion
to the board wasn’t just at the local level. “Anyone who knows her can attest to her commitment and dedication as a board member. Not only has she been active in our local board but she’s been involved at the county and state levels serving in the delegate assembly.” In recent years, D’Agostino was instrumental in working to have the Roxbury Board of Education achieve certificated board status by the New Jersey School Boards Association. “I’m pleased to say we achieved this while she was still on the board with us,” shared Lucas. D’Agostino was surprised by this show of support from the board. “Truly, this is unexpected,” she said. “First off, thank you for everything. Thank you to my family and husband for supporting me all these years and thank
you to the community of Roxbury. We can all agree that Roxbury is a wonderful place to live and great place to raise our children and family. Our schools are top rated and a lot is a result of the folks around this table. It has been a privilege and honor to serve the community of Roxbury. Thank you for the support all these years and the opportunity to be around the educational family.” Roxbury Superintendent Loretta Radulic thanked Terry for all her hard work, dedication, her commitment, and her ‘one more question.’ “She never let us gloss over anything or move quickly through anything,” said Radulic. “She’s very thoughtful and we appreciated working with her. We’ve learned a lot working with her and she definitely will be missed.”

Donations Received From Annual Drive Reach The Most Children Yet By Cheryl Conway Lots of boxes and tears were received from New View Media Group’s annual clothing and toy drive held last month. From Nov. through Dec. 20, the monthly newspaper company reached out to communities in its coverage areas requesting new unwrapped toys and new clothing for newborn children through age 14. Clothing items collected included t-shirts, socks, pants and winter necessities such as hats, coats, gloves and scarves. Gift cards were also donated. Organizers are so thankful for all of this year’s donations. “We received an overwhelming amount this year,” says drive organizer Mary Lalama of Flanders,
co-publisher of New View Media Group. “Boxes and boxes,” that were too many to count. Like previous drives she held, Lalama set up several drop off locations to make it more convenient to contributors. Items were left at the following locations: New View Media Group in Budd Lake; Weis Supermarkets in Flanders; Philly Pretzel in Hackettstown; HomeTown Hardware in Hackettstown; and Fresco Mexican in Chester. Her fourth drive held, Lalama says she received a lot of donations this year, especially Legos. “We received tons of Legos,” she says. Instead of giving to certain organizations, most of the contributions went to
individuals in need. “I donated all of the stuff, with the exception of two small boxes,” Lalama says which she has plans to give to a battered women’s shelter organization called Strengthen Our Sisters. “Parents that saw the article called me and I set up times for pick up at our office, and I also delivered to four families,” says Lalama. “We gave to 28 local kids this year, our largest amount to date,” adds Lalama. “We give about six to eight items per child.” Her motive, “to help struggling families and bring a smile to a child’s face,” is becoming a habit for Lalama who recently spearheaded the first community Thanksgiving Dinner in Mt. Olive Twp.
on Nov. 24, 2016, with her husband Joe Nicastro, co-publisher of New View Media Group. Reactions she witnessed this year is only encouraging her to do more. “Tears, and more tears from the single struggling moms,” Lalama describes
as she handed over the collected items. “They were all so happy and grateful to be able to have basic necessities for their kids,” like “hats, scares and gloves, and other clothing. As her next endeavor, Lalama says “I am looking into starting a non-prof-
it which will provide area children with free clothes. I want to call it Alyssa’s closet,” named after her late niece. “I got the idea from some of the moms who just wanted clothes for their children because they can’t afford them.”

their flavorful sauce add texture, flavor and vibrant color to the stew, which needs only 10 minutes to cook.

RHS Mass Media Students Participate In Annual Gratitude Projects
R
oxbury High School’s Mass Media classes under the supervision and guidance of Deborah Burleigh, mass media teacher, created its’ annual campaign to share gratitude in Roxbury. “Students participate in the brainstorming process and select groups or individuals they feel deserve recognition,” explained Burleigh. “Then they work together to create an event to share their appreciation or make a special delivery.” This year students honored Miss Corliss, a VISTA teacher at Roxbury High School
for adopting Ruby, a therapy dog in the VISTA program at the school by providing a gift card to Pet Smart, breakfast for the VISTA students and staff, and a promise to raise the additional $600 for her GoFundMe account for Ruby’s continued training and care. The other Mass Media Class launched a gratitude campaign to the local fire department thanking them for their service. Students provided a little gesture of appreciation with some cute snacks to say thank you. Containers were provided by Yummy Taste, Kenvil.

n an effort to work towards meeting the needs of all of its learners, more than a dozen Roxbury staff members attended The Miracle Project at the Mayo Performing Arts Center in Morristown last month. This unique program proposes new curriculum for children with autism spectrum disorders and other special needs by using music, dance, and theatre to unlock the creativity, personalities, and potential of these children. Elaine Hall, the organization founder, presented at the show and spoke of her personal journey as a parent with a child with autism. After the heartbreak of her son’s diagnosis, she chose to find a way to reach him and others

like him. The Miracle Project uses a groundbreaking methodology to provide individuals with autism and other disabilities the tools to build communication, social skills, community, and greater self-esteem through inclusive theatre and expressive arts programs. This program allows all children of all abilities to grow in skill and in spirit while creating and performing in original musicals. The Miracle Project is dedicated to empowering those living with autism. Roxbury staff members thought the presentation was thought provoking in many ways. “I thought it was a great program to enhance
communication skills and teach some really needed social interaction skills to individuals who could benefit,” said Jennifer Toupet, second-grade teacher at Jefferson Elementary School. “We could use the information to possibly refer parents of students who may be appropriate. Hopefully, it will be something that will grow and expand into schools and more communities.” Teachers and support staff are already eager to incorporate facets of the program into their schools. Izzy Speronza, Jefferson and Nixon elementary art teacher is already looking into it. “I spoke with the center’s Education Director, Cathy Roy, after the lecture about the possibili-

ty of this program being offered to area schools in the future,” Speronza said. Down the line that is what they’re hoping for. This is their first year offering The Miracle Project classes at their center, so once they
become certified they can do more community outreach programs as they grow.” Carolyn Cuda and Patti Klein, Jefferson school special education teachers, plan on developing a facul-
ty meeting presentation to illustrate the value of The Miracle Project. For more information regarding this project, visit www.mayoarts.org/education/the-miracle-project.

irst grade students and staff at Jefferson Elementary School collected hats, gloves, and socks for Roxbury Social Services during the month of December. Staff and students donated items and place their names on our school “Giving Tree” in the hallway. The generous donations
were collected in three large boxes that were delivered to Roxbury Social Services for those in need. This act of service closely connects to the idea in the book, The Mitten Tree by Candace Christiansen. “Our goal was not only to provide a service to our community,” explained Carmel Gulla, a parapro-
fessional at the school, “but to also encourage the children to experience the joy of giving!” The students that donated most definitely felt this based on the wide smiles on their faces. “It was nice that we collected a lot of things for people,” shared first grader Ryan Valentine.

Donation Opens New Thrift Store To Regenerate Women’s Shelter
T
By Cheryl Conway he new year is looking bright for a battered women’s shelter organization thanks to a significant donation from a Livingston business person who responded to an SOS call. This donor, and his wife, who wish to remain anonymous recently allocated $35,000 to Strengthen Our Sisters (SOS), a grassroots, community based non-profit, program serving homeless/battered women and children for more than four decades. The funds went toward the shelter’s utility fees and to open a thrift store in Passaic. With restricted monies coming in, the organiza-
tion has been in jeopardy of closing its doors to hundreds of women and children. While constant funding is needed to keep the non-profit running, the most recent donation has allowed SOS to sustain its operations for now and to cover the first three months’ rent of a new thrift store, Treasures Two, expected to open March 1 on Chestnut Street and Main Street, near Popeyes, in Passaic. “We’re struggling,” says Sandra Ramos of Ringwood, founder and executive director of SOS. “We are not in to money; we don’t get paid. I haven’t been paid in four years. We don’t give the money to ourselves. We give mon-
ey to serve the people. We do it out of love. We want to make the world a better place.” Established in 1977 as Shelter Our Sisters – Ramos began the first shelter for battered women in North America out of her three bedroom home in Hackensack. The organization changed its name to Strengthen Our Sisters and grew as big as eight houses, two day care centers, a food pantry and a thrift store. “Our shelter is the largest,” says Ramos, currently providing 155 beds to persons needing shelter. “We have 177 beds available. We take people that we don’t get reimbursed from welfare.”
The mission of SOS is to break the cycle of domestic violence, poverty and abuse by restoring bal-
ance and harmony through individual empowerment. To support her organization, Ramos receives
some money from the Passaic County Dept. of Human Services, private continued on next page

New Thrift Store... cont. from previous page donations, counties and social services. Ramos currently has 17 non-paid volunteers who drive shelter residents to look for jobs and attend court, doctor appointments, social services, schools; they fix things, watch children. “We have people working who have no pay, no insurance,” says Ramos, who had to reduce her non-paid staff and is currently down to seven shelter houses located in Newfoundland, Wanaque and West Milford. A teacher of social issues and dynamics of domestic violence at Ramapo College, Ramos has been reaching out to the community for monetary support to keep her organization afloat.
One man from Livingston read about her cry in the local “Livingston News,” and decided to take a closer look. “I’ve been thinking about a worthwhile organization to support,” he says. Rather than giving his money away to “get thrown in a big pot and you don’t know where it goes,” he chose SOS. “They are out of sight, out of mind.” Despite its financial woes, “they continue to supply services with their extreme limited amount of money.” He “thought it was a floundering, worthwhile organization. I called to get name of attorney to find out if they are a legitimate organization; then traveled to visit her” to see the shelters, day care cen-
ters, thrift store and food pantry. He met “a bunch of people,” young and old, and talked to them “hearing how they struggled and got strengthened getting back into society and back into their lives. “What a youthful, helpful organization it is; thought it was worthwhile to support,” he says. “It just kind of reinforced there’s a need for this; reinforced there are many people in need of support in places to live, for food. They’ve gone through tremendous financial strains.” The donor also supports the organization’s purpose: to help women “to reestablish a life after gone through a poor circumstance, such as battered women, mentally, physi-
cally.” While he says “I’m not a zillionaire,” he says he did have some success in his profession which has now allowed him and his wife to give back. “I’ve spoken to Sandra a half a dozen times,” he says, to learn “what their needs are. They say they get a lot of donations. They need the store but they need an ongoing business to regenerate the business to self-sustain, to pay the people working there. They have to generate a good chunk of revenue plus some revenue to pay some people to run the store.” Of the funds he allocated, $10,000 went to pay shut off utility fees for gas and electric at the shelter’s
seven houses; and $20,000 as a reverse matching fund to cover the first three months’ rent at the new thrift store, explains Ramos. “We are supposed to match it,” says Ramos. “We have constant needs. We need refrigerators,” gasoline, insurance. Treasures Two is set to open March 1. The brand new store features a showroom with a store downstairs, an elevator and wood floor, describes Ramos. Customers will be able to shop for new and used furniture, high end designer clothing for mostly women, children and some selections for men. “We get a lot of stuff,” says Ramos, as far as donations. “We get some re-
ally good stuff; got a feathered couch,” antiques. The store will be open six days a week from 10 a.m. to 7 p.m. The organization’s other thrift store, Treasures, opened 30 years ago and is located in West Milford. As she looks forward, Ramos hopes to add in a Jazz Café at the new store and eventually a Treasures Three featuring “gardening stuff.” Ramos is currently in need of furniture, cars, quality clothing and monetary contributions.
