Pompton Lakes Hosts Rain Garden Meeting

By Dawn M Chiossi ome join the Storm Weather Management Committee on Sat., Sept. 23 at 9:30 a.m., at the Pompton Lakes Civic Center to learn about rain gardens, their role in helping the environment, and learn how to build on one’s personal property.

The first Rain Garden Workshop that the committee is holding, this is the thidd event in a series of community outreach workshops.

According to Lauren K. Venin, chair of the Pompton Lakes Advisory Flood Board, “The Rain Garden Workshop is designed to introduce storm-water management concepts to residents and help them implement simple solutions to help our community.”

New Jersey is often called the Garden State, and while residents are famous for amazing gardens, flowers and produce, in recent years this area has also become infamous for horrendous storms as well.

Rain Gardens are easy, great for the environment, and they help out the community in a natural way.

Plus they can be as pretty as regular gardens, the only difference being the plants that are chosen and planted.

A rain garden is a depressed area, bowl shaped, planted with wet-site tolerant plants that collects run off during a rainfall. The rain garden then allows that water to seep slowly in the ground, rather than quickly.

A rain garden will reduce the amount of water reaching the storm sewer system during a storm. As such, it aids in reducing the amount of water entering streams and rivers.

During this workshop, attendees will receive guidance on locating and constructing a rain garden along with a planting plan.

Venin has been involved with the Flood Advisory Board in various capacities since 2010, and is enthusiastic on the subject of rain gardens.

“This event is intended to provide residents with assistance in designing rain gardens for their own properties,” she says.

“During the event, guidance will be provided in the form of a customized planting plan.”

A group of landscape architects from various NJ firms will be in attendance.

When asked how the organization came up with the idea of a rain garden, Venin states that they are “part of the Green Infrastructure, which is a type of storm-water management that mimics the natural water cycle.”

Although this is the first workshop in this area, Venin remarks how successful rain garden workshops have been run by the Rutgers Water Resource Program for other communities.

When asked if Venin has a rain garden of her own, she answers an emphatic yes!

Native Plants are strongly encouraged, she says. Common rain garden plants are various including shrubs, grasses and perennials.

Shrubs such as summersweet, Inkberry Holly,

C

and Sweetspire work well.

Grasses such as Switch Grass, Sideoats Grama, and Little Bluestem are nice, and perennial flowers such as hibiscus, iris, aster, and coreopsis are both fragrant and colorful.

The combinations are only as limitless as imagination, so come to the meeting to learn how to create a personal special rain garden.

According to Venin, rain gardens are best suited in well drained locations where water run-off from a roof or a paved area can get

to it.

Rain gardens can work in sunny sites or even partly shaded areas; 12 inches is the recommended depth in which to have plants, and a properly constructed garden should drain within a day or two at the most.

Bad news for mosquitoes who seek to breed in standing water, a rain garden gets rid of the water quickly.

“We hope the workshop will encourage residents to install rain gardens on their continued on page 4

As this area as prone to strong storms and flooding, it is natural to wonder if a rain garden could help with that.

“Rain gardens are a way to

reduce run off reaching the rivers immediately after a storm,” says Venin. “When rain gardens and similar methods of reducing run off are installed on many properties, they can have an impact on the overall amount of run off reaching rivers.”

Tax Prep Volunteers Needed

V

olunteers are needed to help low- and moderate-income people in northern New Jersey, especially those 60 and older, prepare their annual taxes.

The AARP Foundation TaxAide Program is looking for those willing to help people in need get the the deductions and credits they deserve and only pay their fair share in taxes.

Training is provided in late fall/ early winter, and taxes are prepared in February thru April 15.

No prior tax experience is needed - just a willingness to participate.

Everyone preparing taxes undergoes certification thru an IRS testing process. In Morris County for the 2016 tax year, 70 volunteers volunteering at 12 different sites prepared and e-filed more than 3,000 federal tax returns, a comparable number of state tax returns, Senior Freeze Act returns and answered more than 400 inquiries.

City Department of Parks and Recreation monitored the performance of rain gardens during both Hurricane Irene and Superstorm Sandy.

“In both cases the rain gardens performed better than expected,” she says.

Venin sums it all up perfect-

ly. “A single rain garden will not help reduce flooding on its own, but many rain gardens throughout a watershed can.”

Pompton Lakes Superintendent Paul Amoroso said the goal is that all students in grades three through 12 will have their own device by the 2018-2019 school year.

Some facility upgrades will take place this year as well. The district will replace a portion of the high school roof and renovate the high school’s foods room. The foods room, formerly the home economics room, has five kitchen stations. The stations are receiving new appliances and counters. The wooden cabinets are being replaced with stainless steel shelving.

work done and they assess the worker’s independence. Here are some of their guidelines: • The more the employer has the right to control the work (when, how and where the work is done), the more likely the worker is an employee.

• The more the financial relationship is controlled by the employer, the more likely the relationship will be seen as an employee and not an independent contractor. To clarify this, an independent contractor should have a contract, have multiple customers, invoice the company for work done, and handle financial matters in a professional manner.

s a worker an independent contractor or an employee? This seemingly simple question is often the contentious subject of numerous IRS audits. As an employer, getting this wrong could cost you plenty in the way of Social Security, Medicare and other employment-related taxes. Here is what you need to know.

As the worker: If you are a contractor and not considered an employee you must: • Pay self-employment taxes (Social Security and Medicare-related taxes) • Make estimated federal and state tax payments.

• Handle your own benefits, insurance and bookkeeping.

As the employer: You must

ensure your employee versus independent contractor determination is correct. Getting this wrong in the eyes of the IRS can lead to: • Payment and penalties related to Social Security and Medicare taxes.

• Payment of possible overtime, including penalties for a contractor reclassified as an employee.

• A legal obligation to pay for benefits.

Things to consider When the IRS recharacterizes an independent contractor as an employee they look at the business relationship between the employer and the worker. The IRS focuses on the degree of control exercised by the business over the

What To Do When Your Cat Needs A Bath

A

ccording to the American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals, indoor cats rarely need baths.

That’s because indoor cats use their tongues and teeth to stay relatively clean. While cats can benefit from routine brushing, which can reduce shedding and cut back on hairballs, the bath tub is a place cats need not visit regularly.

But sometimes cats find themselves in sticky situations that dirty their coats and give them a less than agreeable odor. In such instances, a bath may be the only way to clean up your cat. Cat owners concerned about bathing cats can consider the following tips, courtesy of the ASPCA. Trim the claws. Cats are unlikely to find a bathtub comfortable, so cat owners should ex-

pect them to resist. Owners can protect themselves from such resistance by trimming their cat’s claws prior to bath time.

Brush your cat’s hair. Matted hair can be a nuisance come bath time, and that can translate into a lengthier bath that will try the patience of cat and owner alike.

Just before bath time, brush your cat’s hair to loosen any matted areas. Once hair has been brushed, gently insert some cotton into your cat’s ears to prevent water from getting inside them.

Choose the right time. Mellow or tired cats are less likely to resist a bath than well-rested cats with lots of energy, so choose a time of day when your cat is typically mellow to give the animal its bath. Allow the cat to play with some toys prior to bath time so he or she grows a little tired.

Use a bath mat. Cats likely won’t be comfortable in the tub or sink, and that comfort level is only further compromised if they are slipping around. Use a bath mat so your cat is not slipping and sliding.

Use lukewarm water. When bathing your cat, use only lukewarm water. Get your frisky friend wet in three to four inches

of water before gently massaging a solution that is one part cat shampoo and five parts water into his or her hair. Massage in the direction of the hair growth and do not use human shampoo, which can dry out cats’ skin.

When the time comes to rinse the soap, once again gently use lukewarm water, taking caution to avoid getting soap and water into your cat’s eyes, ears and nose.

Make sure there is no remaining shampoo residue, which can irritate the skin and attract more dirt.

Dry your cat off. Long-hair cats may need their fur to be untangled with wide-toothed combs.

Short-hairs can be dried in a warm place with a large towel continued on page 11

Did You Know?

ehicle identification number etching, or “VIN etching,” is a theft deterrent in which an automobile’s VIN, a 17-character code consisting of letters and numbers unique to each vehicle, is etched onto the vehicle’s windows. Some manufacturers may etch the VIN onto the windows of all of their vehicles, while others may not. Dealerships may charge VIN etching fees to buyers of new vehicles, but buyers should always consult their insurance companies before agreeing to pay such fees.

Some insurance providers do not discount premiums for vehicles with VIN etching, while others might. Drivers may not want to pay VIN etching fees if their insurance providers will not discount their premiums, so it pays to consult with providers before purchasing a new vehicle. In addition, drivers who want to save money on etching fees but still do all they can to deter prospective car thieves may want to purchase their own VIN etching kits, which typically cost around $20.

Some cats may be comfortable if you use a hair dryer set on the lowest heat setting to dry them off, but don’t push it if your cat is not responding well to the hair dryer.

The Best Ways To Cheer On Favorite Sports Teams

utumn weather calls to mind sipping warm cider and raking leaves. But for sports fans, fall is all about sports.

American football, field hockey, ice hockey, and basketball are just a few of the sports that make autumn an exciting time for sports fans.

Even the most ardent fan may have room for improvement when it comes to supporting his or her team. Here are a few ideas to make cheering for a favorite team even more enjoyable.

Attend a game Fans who never get to see their team play in person may miss out on a unique experience.

The atmosphere and energy of sitting in a stadium or arena cannot compete with a television simulcast. Ardent fans can resolve to attend a game in person this season. Enroll in employee entertainment clubs to receive discounts on sports tickets among

other types of entertainment.

Host a game watch Build camaraderie with fellow fans by hosting a game watch.

A routine sports night is a great way to get together with friends and family members. Gather a group at your house each week to watch a favorite team battle it out on the big screen. Or get together with fellow fans in the community at a sports bar or restaurant, combining a night out on the town with your passion for sports.

Get the kids involved Spread the love of fandom to a new generation. Schools and youth organizations can encourage children to support local scholastic teams. Organize field trips to sporting events to involve as many students as possible.

Fall sports are heating up, and fans can do their part to support their favorite teams in various ways.

Holy Day Events Planned At Chabad Center Of Passaic County

vents for teens and adults are planned to celebrate the High Holy Days at the Chabad Center of Passaic County, Wayne. On Sept. 21 and 22, the Wayne chapter of CTeen, an international club for Jewish teens, will host a high holiday event like no other, featuring an interactive prayer experience and shofar blowing led by Chani Gurkov.

“There’s this stereotypical notion that Judaism outdated and relatable to today’s youth,” said Gurkov. “That could not be further from the truth. At CTeen, we believe in the power of youth, and what we offer is a means of channeling that power in a positive and uplifting way, especially during the high holidays. We’re here to show teens what Judaism is all about.”

CTeen offers a number of programs with the goal of educating adolescents about the role of Jewish practice in daily life; this high holiday service is just one of dozens of programs, which

include humanitarian and volunteer opportunities, social events, and the world renowned CTeen International Shabbaton, which will hold its 10th annual event in New York City this year.

CTeen is open to all Jewish teens, regardless of affiliation.

For more information about CTeen’s high holiday event and its affiliate programs visit Jewishwayne.com.

Prospective parents of students for Hebrew School are welcome to visit and enroll at the Chabad Hebrew School Enrichment Center for the coming school year of 2017-2018.

Family programs during each Jewish holiday are offered in a fun, creative and child friendly atmosphere. Chabad Hebrew is a place where the child is first.

All of the extensive planning and preparation is focused on bringing Judaism alive for children.

A visit with Gurkov will provide a time for parents to ask questions about the school and its programs, and to view the

facility. The school, housed at The Chabad Center, is in session on Sundays only from 10 a.m. to 12:45 p.m. Membership is not required, but offered at an affordable rate along with discounts for registered families in the Hebrew School Enrichment Center. For more information, call 973 694-6274 or visit www.

Jewishwayne.com.

On Oct. 29 at 7 p.m., join Today Hessy Taft, an 83-yearold professor from New York.

During the mid-1930s, she was a

T

baby in Berlin -- a particularly attractive baby -- who was chosen for the cover of a Nazi magazine intended to show the perfect Aryan child. Little did the editors know, their picture-perfect cover baby was actually Jewish.

Join us on Sun., Oct. 29, at 7 p.m., as Hessy shares her amazing story of courage and faith and how she became the “Perfect Aryan of the Third Reich.”

To RSVP, visit Jewishwayne. org or call Chabad at 973-6946274.

Did You Know?

he thinnest house in New York City, a city known for high real estate costs and compact dwellings, is located in the West Village neighborhood of Manhattan. Now known as the Millay House, a name honoring its one-time resident, the poet Edna St. Vincent Millay, the house was built in 1873 and is a mere 9.5 feet wide. It is sandwiched into a space that

once served as a carriage alley.

While Millay House certainly is compact, a home in Warsaw, Poland, is only four feet wide and, at its thinnest, is only 29.3 inches. The residence, called the Keret House, was built in a crack between two buildings. The entrance is in the rear of the home and features an entry hatch and a foldable, remote control-operated ladder.

ating the same thing every day can make lunch seem so “blah.”

Now’s the perfect time to break out of the lunch rut and add some excitement to your meals.

Thinking outside the traditional lunchbox is easy with the right ingredients.

Perk up your noontime noshing with fresh, seasonal ingredients coupled with kitchen pantry classics, like California Ripe Olives, which add a unique flavor and bold, distinctive color to any dish.

California farmers grow more than 95 percent of the ripe olives consumed in the United States.

From planting, pruning, harvesting and processing, they make sure that the highest quality olives come from their farms to your table – one can at a time.

Adding olives to any lunch can help bring California sunshine to each and every bite. Try some of these portable and packable recipes to add excitement to lunch on-the-go and find more at calolive. org.

Donations Lost, Thrift Store Aborted- SOS Appeals For Financial Support And Volunteers

By Cheryl Conway vacated plan to open a second thrift store may have dimmed its hope for a brighter future, but the battered women’s shelter organization still hangs on to survive.

Strengthen Our Sisters (SOS), a non-profit program serving homeless/battered women and children for more than four decades, had planned to open up a second thrift store in Passaic as early as January this past year.

The store, Treasures Two, was going to feature furniture and clothing sales, with proceeds to cover the mortgage and utility costs incurred in operating a seven-facility shelter.

Plans to open the store at 919 Main Ave. in Passaic were stalled when the landlord was told he needed to provide a fire suppression system. In the meantime SOS was paying for storage space for months to house furniture and clothing received from generous donators.

When the date to open the store was pushed to March, then April, SOS decided it could not wait any longer for the space to be available as they were losing too much money to rent the storage space.

“That store won’t be ready for months,” says Sandra Ramos of Ringwood, founder and executive director of SOS. Edee Galzan, volunteer administrative director of SOS says “SOS was losing money in storage and we couldn’t afford it.”

To make matters worse, when SOS announced it had to pull out, the store’s landlord did not refund SOS all of its money owed to them.

“He didn’t give us back all our money,” says Ramos. “He owes us $4,000. We paid three and a half months rent, security deposit.”

When SOS stopped paying the rent for the storage space, it soon lost all of its beautiful donations, says Ramos.

“It’s a gimmick,” says Ramos.

The monthly storage rent had increased from $30 to $300. “We got really nice stuff,” and now it is gone.

“Wonderful merchandise over $7,000,” says Galzan. “We lost

A

it. We had to let it go. We signed something; if you are not able to pay, they are allowed to sell it.”

With one step forward and two steps back, SOS continues its appeal for monetary donations, volunteers and necessary items to keep the shelters open.

With restricted monies coming in, the organization has been in jeopardy of closing its doors to hundreds of women and children.

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 as early as 1970. 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.

The mission of SOS is to break the cycle of domestic violence, poverty and abuse by restoring balance and harmony through individual empowerment.

To support her organization, Ramos receives limited money from sources such as the Passaic County Dept. of Human Services and private donations. Ramos currently has 17 non-paid volunteers who drive shelter residents to look for jobs and attend court, doctor appointments, social services, schools; and run the thrift store and day care centers.

SOS is currently down to seven facilities located in Newfoundland, Wanaque and West Milford, providing shelter to 150 women and children, with more calling every day.

Relying on monetary support and understanding lenders has paved the way toward SOS’s shaky survival.

One Livingston business person- who had given SOS $35,000 to support the second thrift store and help pay for the shelter’s utility fees- issued another $9,000 to SOS for its troubles.

Ramos also managed to get the shelter’s mortgage reduced from $800K to $499K. “Edee’s very organized; we are paying all our bills and trying to hold on,” says Ramos. “She’s organizing the one store.”

“We do have a truck now,” says Ramos, to pick up donations.

Money is needed for storage of any furniture donations, as well as money for gas to put in the truck.

Ramos had been counting on $30,000 from a United Way grant but that was denied when SOS didn’t have its audit completed in time, she says.

“Keeping seven shelters running is no joke,” says Ramos.

SOS is $73,000 behind in the monies owed to PSEG and operating costs. Losing the second thrift store, “This really set us back.

“We are still accruing bills,” says Ramos. “They are allowing us to stay open; they see we are making an effort. They could have cut us off a long time ago.”

While donations are appreciated, Galzan says SOS needs to reorganize its one thrift store for more space before accepting any furniture or large items.

Financial donations to help pay for the mortgage and utilities is SOS’s greatest need, as well as

volunteers to drive the residents to appointments, work at the store and shelters and landscape the properties.

Other immediate items include large black contractor garbage bags, toilet paper, cleaning products, non-perishable food, fresh fruits and vegetables, beds, a power lawn mower and weed whacker.

Donations can be sent to P.O. Box 1089, Hewitt, N.J., 07421; or call 973-831-6156. Those willing to donate can also go to gofundme.com/strengthenoursisters.

Another option is to visit SOS’s thrift store, Treasures, at 196 Lincoln Ave., West Milford.

In existence for 30 years, Treasures is open seven days a week from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Call the store at 862-248-9935 for more information.

inding ways to curb your monthly spending may leave you feeling like you’re living to work, not the other way around.

When you’ve trimmed the excess from your monthly budget and still need to cut back more, it may take some creative thinking to get those dollars and cents to start adding up.

For most people, the first step toward saving on bills is getting rid of all the extra spending. However, that’s not always enough, and it’s not always practical or realistic to cut down to bare bones.

Before you stress about where to cut next, take a look at these tips for little changes that can add up to big savings: 1. Reconsider your cable source. There are literally dozens – maybe more – streaming services available to fulfill your viewing needs. Most people subscribe to a cable or satellite package that has plenty of excess channels. Many streaming options allow you to take a more custom approach so you’re only paying for the programming you actually watch.

2. Update your mobile phone and plan. Do some checking to

Five Tips To Save On Bills

ensure you’re getting the best value on your mobile service. Make sure you’re only paying for the features and services you use, and that you’re not paying for more data or access than you need. You may even find that looking into a prepaid program like the NUU Mobile Smartphone bundle is the most cost-effective route. You can get one of the latest Android smartphones with up to 2 months of the Lycamobile $29 monthly unlimited plan included. The plan provides unlimited nationwide talk, text and data, as well as unlimited international texts and a generous international calling allowance. With no contract and the ability to make the switch in minutes, there is no need to worry about spending valuable time waiting in line for a new device and plan.

3. Conserve water usage. A long, steamy shower may be part of your morning ritual, but if you’re looking for places to cut, it only makes sense to look at ways to quit sending money down the drain. Cut back on shower time and take other steps to modify your water bill, such as research-

Transforming Lives By Transforming Living Spaces...

It’s What We Do.”

ing non-peak times for cheaper dishwasher and laundry operation.

4.Keep power under control.

If you habitually flit from room to room and leave lights on in your wake, you’re simply wasting money. Turn lights off when you leave the room and make sure electronics aren’t drawing power when they’re not in use, not only for safety but for savings, too.

5. Adjust your climate. Changing your thermostat even a couple

S

of degrees can make a big difference in your bill. Rely on dimmed lights, window treatments and fans to help keep rooms cool, and always nudge the temperature up or down several degrees when you’ll be away for an extended period.

Small changes in your daily habits can have a surprisingly big impact, especially over a period of time. Explore more budget-friendly options to fit your lifestyle at nuumobile.com.

Did You Know?

ea glass are of pieces of glass that have been buffed and smoothed over time thanks to the constant tumbling action of ocean water and the sandy silt. Sea glass goes by many names, from mermaid’s tears to sea pearls to beach gems. Sea glass is coveted by both amateur and professional collectors. It can be turned into many different pieces of artwork, and some designers specialize in transforming the glass into intricate jewelry.

Although dumping trash in the

world’s oceans, bays and lakes is never a good idea, sea glass is one representation of how nature can turn something bad into a remarkable treasure. It’s possible to find sea glass in all different shades. However, some colors are harder to find than others. Odyssey Sea Glass ranks deep purple, pink, peach, black, red, orange, and deep yellow as the rarest colors. Brown, green and frosted white sea glass are the easiest colors to find.

hen it comes to storms and hurricanes, you can never be too prepared.

To keep your family safe, it’s important to prepare for the worst because once a hurricane or storm hits, action must be taken quickly.

In the case of a power outage, a common side effect of natural disasters, one of the best pieces of equipment to have on hand is a portable generator. Portable generators can provide the power needed to access important radio or television weather updates, lights, hot water and refrigeration for safe food storage, among other necessities. After a storm, it is difficult to predict when power will be restored, so it’s best to be prepared with a backup power source.

When used properly, portable generators can save lives, but there are some risks that come along with using them. Safe use is critical to avoid dangerous carbon monoxide which you cannot see, taste or smell.

The Portable Generator Manufacturers’ Association recom-

Be Prepared For Inclement Weather mends taking time to reacquaint yourself with your generator’s features and safe operating instructions, as well as keeping these safety tips in mind: • Keep the operator’s manual in a safe place so you can refer to it easily for further information about safe operation and potential hazards.

• To avoid dangerous carbon monoxide accumulation from a portable generator, always “Take It Outside.” Never run a portable generator indoors, in areas such as garages, basements, crawl spaces, breezeways, sheds or other partially enclosed spaces.

• Always place a portable generator downwind and point the engine exhaust away from occupied spaces.

• Avoid placing a portable generator near windows, doors or vents, as carbon monoxide gas can accumulate and potentially be drawn indoors.

• Install battery-operated carbon monoxide alarms according to manufacturer’s instructions.

Replace batteries and test the alarm regularly to ensure it is in

Photo courtesy of Getty Images good working condition.

• Learn to recognize the symptoms of carbon monoxide poisoning: headache, nausea, dizziness, shortness of breath, weakness and fainting.

• If you feel sick, dizzy or weak while using a portable generator, get to fresh air immediately and call 911 for emergency medical attention.

Now is the perfect time to educate yourself and your family on the safe and proper use of portable generators in preparation for major storms and natural disasters. Learn more about safely operating a portable generator during severe weather at takeyourgeneratoroutside.com or pgmaonline.com.

Five Ways To Get Acquainted With A New Neighborhood

cross the country, people are packing boxes, hiring trucks and moving short and long distances. The U.S. Census Bureau says that around 12 percent of the population moves each year. According to a survey by DuProprio, a Quebec-based real estate advice site, 28 percent of Canadians feel the need to move every five years. Surprisingly, DuProprio also found that 14 percent of owners wish they could move every year.

The main reasons people move are expansion of the family, a career change, retirement, empty nest situations, or when moving is more practical than large-scale home renovations.

While some people stick close to previous home locations, a 2015 American Community Survey found approximately 16.9 million people moved to a different county in 2015.

Whether a move is across county lines or overseas, it can take some time to acclimate to a new neighborhood. These tips can help anyone get acquaint-

1. Host a housewarming party. Get to know immediate neighbors by hosting a party.

After some unpacking is done, host a simple get-together for people who live nearby. Ask if neighbors can help out by bringing chairs. Offer light refreshments and some type of activities for children. The event doesn’t have to be extensive, just long enough to engage in some conversation and introduce yourself.

2. Walk and drive around.

Scout out the area by driving around and making note of shopping centers, parks and places of interest. Schedule times when you will get out of the car and walk around on foot, which makes it easier to take everything in.
