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 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 found-
ing 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 continued on page 2

continued from front page shops which any person may use on a regular basis for important transactions such as a bank, supermarket or medical facility. Life Village will also include other places a person may visit such as a movie theater or coffee shop. Through the use of role playing, these stores and stations will give participants a chance to act out
life-like situations that they are likely to encounter and 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.
Life Town will utilize “state of the art technology,” explains Grossbaum. Using a platform called Oneder, Life Town will automatically generate and prompt the system to cater to the needs of each individual student. The Oneder program uses an Individualized Education Program, or IEP, which, according to the website, allows for more

time spent one on one with each student. The Life Town complex is not only a facility for special needs students but will offer a lounge for both parents and volunteers and assist students interested in pursuing a career in a special education field. It is planned that the program will offer internships for students to earn college credits towards further education 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
R
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.
Y
“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 agen-
Yoga For Every Body
oga for Every Body, a series of Hatha yoga classes, comes to the energizing grounds of Acorn Hall on Sun., July 9, 16, 23, and 30 from 8 a.m. to 9 a.m. Kathleen O. Margiotta, owner and instructor, of Yoga-to-Go, has designed a program to meet the needs of all participants regardless of skill, experience, or physical condition. All four
classes must be purchased in advance for $32, with the proceeds going toward the restoration and maintenance of Acorn Hall’s historic gardens and grounds. MCHS’s Yoga for Every Body is rooted in Hatha yoga, the most popular form of yoga, which focuses on controlled movement, concentration, and conscious breathing, promoting stress reduction and
mind, body, and spiritual balance. Participants should bring their own mats, and water. To reserve a space, call MCHS at 973267-3465, or email MCHSAcornHall@gmail.com. The Morris County Historical Society, founded in 1945, is a member supported 501(c)3 organization whose mission is to preserve and promote the history of Morris County.
cy is the best option “in order to maintain services through consumers and their families,” says Davison. Another reason is to prepare 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. NJ’s public mental 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.

he Coach is a new column that we started last month. It will be published monthly and the next couple of articles will focus on increasing profitable sales. This seems to be a common interest and is worth while discussing. One thing you want to consider in all of your thinking is the 80-20 rule. It is also called Pa-
reto’s law. Simply stated it says that 80 percent of your sales volume comes from 20 percent of your customers. Take a look at your own customers. List them in descending order based on annual sales volume and see if this 80-20 rule applies to you. If you have an area you would like addressed or have a question now you

can ask Frank Minutolo, The Coach, by emailing him at tsg973@aol.com. The topic for today is Increasing Profitable Sales. What are you selling? Most companies are interested in increasing profitable sales and this requires a few steps. The first one is to do a good job of identifying the product or service you are selling. That is what we will focus on now. We need to think in terms of benefits to the buyer. What is going to satisfy the buyer or motivate him or her to want your product or service? Think about what your product or service does for the buyer. For each product or ser-
vice you provide you need to clearly understand the product, its features and what the benefit is to the person you are selling to. This is most important to take the time and do this as detailed as possible. For example, If you were selling automobiles and one of the features is “all wheel drive” you would then need to think of all the benefits of all wheel drive such as safety when driving in the snow, excellent off road capability, better overall handling, higher resale value. Another example is if you are selling life insurance and the feature is a
$100,000 death benefit, what are the benefits to the buyer of the insurance? Peace of mind that his family will be provided for; a comfort knowing that funeral expenses and other debts will not be a burden for his loved ones; secure feeling that his children’s education costs are taken care of. Do this for each feature that your product or service has. Keep in mind that the benefit is what will be attractive to the buyer. Analyze your top 10 customers and determine why they buy from you. If you know them well enough give them a call and ask them what is most

important about your product or service that you provide. Listen to them so you truly understand why they do business with you. Is it the product itself? Is it the price? Do they like dealing with you personally? Is it your reliability? Once this is done prepare a profile for yourself as to what your customers are buying. Remember to focus on benefits and not product features. The benefits are really what the customer is buying and the key to successful sales. The next step will be developing your target market.

How To Protect Your Pets From Extreme Heat
xtreme heat can be unpleasant for anyone, and pets are no exception. While it’s easy for men and women to detect if their bodies are responding negatively to heat, those warning signs may not be so prevalent in pets, who may suffer in silence as the mercury continues to rise. Pet owners must pay special attention to their pets on hot days, which the Humane Society of the United States notes can be both uncomfortable and dangerous for pets. In an effort to help pet owners
Dr. Matthew Krupnick, D.V.M.
protect their pets from the summer heat, the HSUS offers the following tips to pet owners who want to keep their pets cool and
safe this summer. Don’t leave pets in a parked car. The temperature inside a vehicle can quickly approach danger-
ous levels on hot days, so pet owners should never leave their pets in parked cars, even if they leave the air conditioning on and the engine running. The HSUS notes that on an 85-degree day, temperatures inside cars with slightly cracked windows can reach 102 degrees in as little as 10 minutes. Rather than taking pets with you on car trips, leave them at home inside a comfortably air conditioned room where they won’t be vulnerable to rising temperatures. Change pet’s exercise regimen. Pet owners
591 Newark Pompton Turnpike Pompton Plains, NJ
who make sure their pets get daily exercise should change such routines when temperatures are on the rise. Midday walks or jogs should be switched to evenings or early mornings, when temperatures tend to be at their most moderate. In addition, cut back on the time spent exercising, as pets may have trouble breathing on hot days. When taking your dog for a jog or a run in the summertime, do so on the grass, avoiding asphalt, as hot asphalt can do significant damage to your pet’s paws. Be mindful of your
breed. Dog owners should recognize that certain dogs can handle the heat better than others. Short-nosed breeds have a harder time in extreme heat because their shorter airways don’t allow as much time for the air they breathe in to cool as dogs with longer noses. In addition, the HSUS points out that dogs with white-colored ears are more susceptible to skin cancer than other dogs, making it imperative that owners continued on page 9

continued from page 8 of such dogs reduce their exposure to the sun on hot days when the UV index is especially dangerous. Let dogs inside. Doghouses might not be as prevalent as they once were, but many owners still keep doghouses in their backyards so their fourlegged friends have a place to relax outdoors on lazy afternoons. But doghouses can be similar to parked cars on especially hot days, making rising temperatures feel even hotter. Let dogs hang out inside in an air conditioned room on hot days to reduce their risk of heatstroke. Learn to recognize the signs of heatstroke. Pets suffering from heatstroke
will exhibit certain symptoms, and pet owners who learn to recognize those symptoms can do something about them before it’s too late. Heavy panting, glazed eyes, rapid heartbeat, difficulty breathing, excessive thirst, and lack of coordination are just a few potential indicators that a pet is suffering from heatstroke. Animals that are very old, very young, overweight, and unaccustomed to prolonged exercise, as well as those who have heart or respiratory conditions, are especially susceptible to heatstroke. Learn more about pets and heatstroke at www.humanesociety.org. Extreme heat can be dangerous to pets, who of-
ten suffer in silence when dealing with the consequences of extreme heat. Pet owners who take certain precautions and learn to recognize signs of a pet struggling with heat can better protect their animals from succumbing to rising temperatures. Dr. Matthew Krupnick is the owner of the Pequannock Animal Hospital. He grew up in Kinnelon and is happy to be home – with his wife, three cats, and two dogs – to provide quality and compassionate care for pets in the community.

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 creation50 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 part-
nered 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 removed 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 emo-
tional 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 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 continued on page 11

continued from page 10 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 35-year old woman who was homeless and involved in drugs and pros-
titution. “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 sustainable 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 orga-
nizations 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 continued on page 13

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 local 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 Cullinane Thomas of the U.S. Geological Survey and Lynne Koonz of the National Park Service. According to the report, most victors spending fell in the categories of lodging, food and beverages, gas and oil, admissions and fees, souvenirs and other expenses, and local transportation. “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. More information on the report can be found by using the interactive tool available on The NPS Social Science Program web site (go.nps.gov/vse). Here, users can view current year visitor spending, jobs, labor income, value added and output effects 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 continued on page 13

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.”
