HOW TOWNS ARE COPING WITH COVID

BY HILLARY VIDERS SPECIAL TO PASCACK PRESS

The Covid pandemic has changed the landscape of just about every community in the United States. Whereas New Jersey Gov. Phil Murphy has put general mandates in place, the life and livelihood of each community in the state differs. To get a snapshot of what is happening in the Pascack Valley, Pascack Press feature writer Hillary Viders contacted mayors of four of the areaʼs boroughs: Mayor Danielle DiPaola of Emerson,

Shown here, members of the Westwood Volunteer Fire Department Color Guard stand by at the bandstand in Veterans Park on Sunday, May 3. That afternoon, the men donned their masks and provided a color guard during the U.S. Army commissioning ceremony of Westwood resident Christopher Harper. This beautiful photo was snapped by Nick Ariemma, also a resident of the borough.

EAT AT JOE’S

Harper, who recently graduated from Norwich University in Vermont, participated in the R.O.T.C. program during his four years. He was commissioned into the Army as a second lieutenant. Since his initial graduation and commissioning were canceled due to the current COVID-19 pandemic, Harper had to have

his commissioning ceremony in Westwood through a video conference. His immediate family and a small gathering of friends joined him in the park. A few curious bystanders, out for walks on that warm, breezy spring day, also watched from a distance. Everyone practiced social distancing and PPE was worn by everyone involved in the ceremony and by those viewing.

Education at their May 14 meeting. During ordinary times, hundreds of people would attend this meeting in support of John. However, with the ongoing global pandemic, and Board of Education meetings being conducted virtually, I think we need to ask ourselves if personnel decisions of this magnitude should be made right now. This matter was first discussed during the public portion of the April 30 board meeting. During that virtual meeting, the outpouring of support John from coaches, received current/former players, and Westwood residents spoke volumes of the positive impact John has on our town. He has created a culture of inclusivity in our community. He is an expert at teaching children and young men to be the

For the past 13 consecutive years, Joanʼs Joy yard sale has taken place at the DʼAlessandro home on Florence Street in Hillsdale during the month of May.

YCS Davis House in Newark

also needs bike helmets, games/activities for kids to do, DVDs and DVD players.” Stop by JoansJoy.org to make a donation in any amount to help the children, and enjoy some of the warm memories of past yard sales through photos and videos.

RIVER VALE

Hereʼs the latest from the Township of River Vale:

TOWNSHIP PARKS REOPEN After Gov. Phil Murphy signed Executive Order No. 133, reopening state parks and golf courses, and restoring the authority of county governments to determine whether county parks will be open or closed, River Vale officials followed suit and opened the townshipʼs parks and the Poplar Road Nature Sanctuary to the public for passive recreation, including walking, running, jogging and biking. Picnic areas, playgrounds, tennis and basketball courts, pavilions, restrooms, and other buildings and facilities, such as the

River Vale Senior/Community Center remain closed at this time. Social distancing is still required, except with immediate family members, caretakers, household members, or romantic partners. Organized or contact activities, sports, picnics and gatherings of any kind continue to be banned, per the Executive Order. When in public, face masks should still be worn.

TAX GRACE PERIOD EXTENDED

OF TWO SCHOOLS MONTVALE

The few hundred residents of 1890s Montvale were divided on an important topic: the best place to build a school. In those days before automobiles, when trips to school were by horse and wagon (if you were lucky) or on foot, the proximity of school to home was no small matter. In the end, two identical oneroom schoolhouses were built in 1899: one on Summit Avenue west of Spring Valley Road (School No. 1), and the other on Grand Avenue at Waverly Place (School No. 2). The total cost of both buildings was $2,800. They were constructed during summer break of 1899. During construction of the Summit Avenue school, the crew found a very old foundation wall. “It was in a good state of preservation; even the lime on the inside of the cellar wall was plainly coated. The oldest inhabitant does not recollect a building there,” reported The Bergen Democrat, a newspaper of the era. School No. 1 opened for classes that September as planned. The interior and exterior are shown in the accompanying photos from the collection of the Pascack Historical Society. However, the opening of the Grand Avenue school was delayed when the desks that had been ordered didnʼt arrive on time. The second school finally opened in late September after the school board borrowed seats from the Episcopal church. The desks, ordered months earlier, arrived in October. In December, the schools got libraries after a fund-raising show at

Forestersʼ Hall in Park Ridge yielded $46 in proceeds. The show was a military drama, “Between Two Fires,” followed by a dance. In 1900, the census showed 416 people living in Montvale. Of those, 158 were children under age 18. Sixty-five of the children had attended school during the previous year. With the boroughʼs population on the rise, it wasnʼt long before the one-room Grand Avenue schoolhouse became insufficient. It was replaced by a four-room brick structure in 1908. This new brick building, constructed right next to School No. 2, was—rather confusingly— also named School No. 2. When the advent of automobiles made it possible for everyone in Montvale to send their children to the same school, the l899 schoolhouse in Upper Montvale was also vacated in favor of the “new” School No. 2. The brick school on Grand Avenue served for nearly 60 years. It was later used as the Montvale Library for decades starting in 1974. More recently, the site was renovated to become a combination of special needs and senior housing. The articles and opinions printed in Pascack Press are not necessarily those of the publisher.

County parks, golf courses reopen; practice social distancing

MAY 11, 2020 • PASCACK VALLEY PRESS

6 PASCACK VALLEY

Bergen County Executive Jim Tedesco has issued an Executive Order re-opening most sites within Bergen Countyʼs Park System and golf courses. The measure went into effect on Saturday, May 2, with some exceptions such as the Bergen County Zoo and Vaun Saun Park in Paramus, the McFaul Environmental Center in Wyckoff, and Darlington County Park in Mahwah which shall remain closed. Golf courses will open gradually, starting with Soldier Hill in Emerson and Valley Brook in River Vale. The major county parks with-

in the Pascack Valley include Wood Dale (from Prospect Avenue, spanning Hillsdale, Park Ridge and Woodcliff Lake); and Pascack Brook County Park (from Emerson Road, spanning Westwood and River Vale). It is imperative that all CDC guidelines and social distancing practices continue to be observed. The reopening of county parks and golf courses will be in accordance with the parameters outlined in the new Executive Order 133 signed by New Jersey Governor Phil Murphy, indicating all state parks will reopen and that golf courses and county parks will

be allowed to reopen as well. For those county parks that are now open, parking capacity will be limited to 50 percent. Further, the parks are open only for passive recreation, such as walking and hiking—that means sports fields, playgrounds, dog runs, comfort stations, park pavilions, picnic areas, exercise equipment and water fountains are still off limits. Organized activities and gatherings within the parks are also prohibited.

RECYLING CENTER OPEN

The River Vale Free Public Library presents a Virtual Sewing Workshop for Tweens & Teens on Thursday, May 14 at 5 p.m. Kids ages 9-14 are invited to join in a Virtual Sewing Workshop with Ellen Brown and learn how to make an anti-stress ball out of mate-

TWICE WEEKLY

Effective April 22, the Hillsdale Department of Public Works has opened the Recycling Center on a limited basis each week on Monday and Thursdays from 7 a.m. to 2 p.m. Residents are required to wear

a mask or face covering to enter the recycling area and must maintain social distancing guidelines. You must have a resident sticker to gain entry.

“We are reopening Bergen County parks and golf courses this weekend but are encouraging residents to continue practicing social distancing, and to only use parks close to their homes,” said County Executive Tedesco. “Bergen County still has the most COVID-19 cases and deaths in New Jersey. But we are Bergen County STRONG, and we will get through this only if we all work together to slow the spread. We are insisting that residents who

visit our parks and golf courses continue to practice social distancing and take the necessary steps to protect themselves by wearing masks and gloves, and staying home when they are not feeling well.” Totaling nearly 9,000 acres, Bergen County boasts an exceptional park system which features a nationally accredited zoo, six golf courses, 21 parks, an environmental center and nine historic sites.

TRI-BORO PARADE CANCELED THIS YEAR

One of Memorial Dayʼs oldest patriotic events in the Pascack Valley has fallen victim to the deadly Covid-19 virus. In a joint news release from Park Ridge Mayor Keith Misciagna and the Cpl. Jedh C. Barker American Legion Memorial Post 153, the Memorial Day parade scheduled for Monday, May 25 has been cancelled. Citing lingering restrictions

from New Jersey state officials and fearful of the pandemicʼs effect on our population, officials have decided to cancel this event. This includes the 9 a.m. memorial services. The parade, which began at the end of World War I, was originally known as the Pascack Valley Memorial Day Parade and it later became the Tri-Boro Memorial Day Parade. This

event became one of the largest patriotic events held in Bergen County. Park Ridge Councilman Robert Metzdorf, liaison between the Borough and the American Legion, along with Mayor Misciagna stated that this decision to cancel was regrettable, but the welfare of the public and parade participants was the deciding factor.

Letters to the editor season as a player under Coach Santulliʼs program. On our senior day, we had a huge win over River Dell and I will never forget that day as it was the best day of my life. As a captain of the team, Iʼve always known what it meant to be a player under Coach Santulli. In his program, all the little things are most important. Itʼs the hard work that isnʼt seen on or off the court that is most appreciated. Diving on a loose ball, taking a charge or playing

tough defense shows how scoring points isnʼt everything. This correlates directly to life. All the little things: saying thank you to every single person, not taking shortcuts in anything to take the easy way out, and even not grabbing on to excuses to be bailed out. Itʼs about being prepared for life in order to transform into a young adult. His program means everything to me and Iʼve learned so much as a player and person. There is not a day that goes by where I donʼt think about not being able to play another game

or go to another practice under him as a coach. He is a mentor to me and I will always go to him for advice. As a coach, he always pushed us as a team and made us do everything together. No one wants a coach to treat their players like ballerinas. As an outsider, you can see a man yelling, but what coach doesnʼt? As a player and person, you learn more when you are pushed hard. Coach Johnston and Coach Taylor teach in the same way. They have had a similar and positive impact on my life. Devin Bialick Westwood High School Class of 2020

Team captain: Coach a second father figure

To the editor: My name is Ryan Hyland and this past winter I was the captain of the Westwood Boys Basketball team. After Coach Santulli was given his letter of non-renewal, the outbreak of reactions from parents, players, alumni, and other coaches in the Bergen County area was astounding. The Westwood BOE held a virtual meeting on Thursday night, April 30. After the meeting the floor was given to the public. Over 30+ alumni, parents, and players spoke for Coach Santulli, defending him. I spoke in that meeting, where we asked that the board think long and hard about the decision to fire our beloved coach. We gave factual evidence as to why he is such a great coach and why he is so important to the Westwood community. Coach Santulli has helped so many over his years of coaching at Westwood, from Cardinals vs. Cancer to the SNAP program (helps special needs children learn the game of basketball). He continues to speak with alumni that have graduated from 2008. Whenever I need anything he is there for me. He is a mentor, a second father figure. His love and care for his players is truly something special. The Board of Education at Westwood listened to many stories on that Zoom call during that meeting and brushed it off their shoulders as if nothing was said. Coach Santulli was given his notice of termination the next morning. The people spoke, the people who elect these officials. We let them know that firing Coach Santulli was the wrong decision and they did not listen to the public. Ryan Hyland Township of Washington

Lessons about more than just the game

To the editor: Today I was informed by my son that Westwood Regional High School has chosen not to renew Coach John Santulli as the head coach of the boysʼ varsity team. I am shocked and disappointed that the athletic director and superintendent would make this decision. I am not a Westwood or Washington Township resident, but coach Santulli has known my oldest son almost since birth. My son Riley was born with a rare craniofacial disorder which has required almost 50 surgeries since he was born. Coach Santulli invited him to his summer camps at no cost, despite knowing that he would be dedicating a staff member to the safety of Riley during camp. It was that important to him that Riley could go and have a good time. In Rileyʼs junior year of high school he was invited by coach to speak to the team before the 2016-17 season to talk about the things he has gone through and overcome. Ri loved speaking to the team and the players welcomed him and made him feel like he was a Westwood Cardinal. Coach gave him a t-shirt that he still wears to this day. The Cardinals had a great season and made it to the group championship that year. We went to their semi-final game and after they won the first thing coach did after speaking to the opposing coach and players was come and get Riley to celebrate as part of the team. It amazed me that in probably the greatest coaching moment of his life he thought of my son. We live in West Milford, NJ and Riley was also a part of the West Milford basketball program, as a manager for the team for two years. As luck CONTINUED ON PAGE 19

restrictions and mandates of the governorʼs executive orders. These primarily rely on enforcing social distancing, and required business closures. We decided early on to also utilize the social media accounts of all our emergency services and the borough website to keep our residents informed. We have instituted strict safety procedures for our emergency first responders to protect them when interacting with the public who need their assistance but may have the virus. Our dispatch desk has been implementing a series of questions when calls come in to identify high risk situations so that our first responders are prepared. Our health officials have been told to cooperate fully with the county and state in collecting and reporting data on presumed COVID-19 cases, and have been trying to track these cases as they progress to recovery or not. We have closed Borough Hall to public business except by appointment, encouraging business over the phone or by email. All recreational activities have been suspended/cancelled, and our parks and playgrounds are off-limits except for the recent lifting of certain restrictions by the governor effective May 2. I have also instructed the borough administration to defer or freeze all non-essential spending, even if budgeted for, as a means of preparing a potential decline in expected revenue for 2020 due to

the economic effects of the virus. In addition, I have been encouraging the Borough Council and the school administrators to consider revising their budgets so that there is no increase in their property taxes. On May 1, the Council considered allowing residents more time to pay their May 1 taxes, and on May 12 will decide on the “no tax increase” budget.

ments and first responders. This has been very helpful in assessing the need for PPE across the departments and in speaking with one voice to Bergen County OEM. It is still too early to assess the effect of the spending freeze on the anticipated budget or its success in bringing into alignment spending with actual revenue.

Mayor DiPaola: We believe the directives have gone very well. Our residents have taken this very seriously and we want to thank them for doing so. Once or twice a week, I am making Swiftreach calls to our residents to give them updates from the president, the governor and the CDC. We remind them to keep looking at our website for updated information. Mayor Ghassali: Very successful! Mayor Misciagna: Like the rest of the county, we have seen good results with these practices, and after an initial spike we have experienced a leveling off of new cases with our general population. Mayor Ruocco: I have been pleased with how Hillsdaleʼs officials, employees and volunteers have pulled together. Our OEM staff and borough administrator staff regularly hold coordination meetings that involve all the depart-

Mayor DiPaola: We have our OEM director reaching out to our seniors and homebound, asking if they need anything. We have sent out messages to all our residents reminding them about Meals on Wheels. In fact, I myself have been delivering meals each week for our residents. I went up to our veteran housing and knocked on their doors with my mask and gloves on to tell them about Meals on Wheels, to see if they needed anything and that if they need anything to contact me by phone or email. We have also been alerting them to some of our wonderful businesses and generous residents who are making meals or buying necessities for those who need it.

We have also started a phone buddy program that keeps our volunteers and our clients together and in touch through regular phone calls.” “The best way to help support our seniors right now is through monetary donations to the program,” said Martin. “The cost to pivot the program to frozen meals has put an unforeseen financial burden on the organization and support from the community would be greatly appreciated.” She adds, “It is very important that you check in with your elderly neighbors to see how they are doing.” You can donate to Meals on Wheels North Jersey via their website, mealsonwheelsnorthjersey.org, or by mailing a donation to Meals on Wheels North Jersey, 100 Madison Ave., Suite 3, Westwood, NJ 07675.

The popularity of cookingbased television shows has led many people to look at food through a new lens. Experiencing food in new ways may involve trying certain types of cuisine for the first time or even preparing beloved foods in new ways. Shrimp lovers accustomed to shrimp cocktail or other popular shrimp dishes may find that few ways to prepare shrimp can be as flavorful as grilling. Cooking meals over an open flame imparts a unique flavor to various foods, and shrimp is no exception. Grilled seafood can be a perfect light alternative to grilled meats, which can be filling, something many people prefer to avoid when the weather is especially warm. The following recipe for “Grilled Garlic Shrimp with a Fresh Heirloom Tomato Sauce” from Laurey Mastertonʼs “The Fresh Honey Cookbook” (Storey Publishing) provides a less filling but delicious alternative to more traditional backyard barbecue fare.

Grilled Garlic Shrimp with a Fresh Heirloom Tomato Sauce (serves 6)

What you need:

For the marinated shrimp: 1/2 cup extra-virgin olive oil 1/4 cup red wine vinegar 2 garlic cloves, minced 36 large shrimp, peeled and

3. To make the tomato sauce, bring a medium pot of water to a boil. Place one or two tomatoes at a time into the boiling water. Watch them and, as you see the skin split, remove with a slotted spoon and place in a bowl of cool water. At this point, it will be very easy to slip off the skins. 4. Cut the peeled tomatoes into a small dice. Put the cut tomatoes into a large bowl. Add the onion, garlic, salt, pepper, and honey. Stir gently to combine. 5. Skewer the shrimp, 3 per skewer. Grill the skewered shrimp for 1 to 2 minutes on each side,

Recipe until they are pink. Sprinkle lightly with sea salt and a couple grinds of fresh pepper. 6. Just before serving, add the basil leaves to the tomato sauce. Taste and add more salt if necessary. 7. Ladle the tomato sauce onto a serving platter and arrange the skewers on top of the sauce. Garnish with more basil leaves and enjoy!

You can use these as a starting point to check how prepared you are to handle a personal financial crisis in your life. Begin by reviewing the questions, and then determine what youʼve already done and check

DR. KAPLAN: Covid-19; uncovered

Many people are confused about coronavirus because there is a lot of information coming from different DR. ERIC KAPLAN, sources and it KAPLAN BRAIN & is hard to BODY decipher whose advice is best. The main reason we are getting so many conflicting reports regarding Covid-19 is because it is a brand new virus, and it will take years before we really understand how this virus works and how it originated. Therefore, I am going to tell you about this specific coronavirus, but also review how to avoid getting sick from any other type of virus, as well. The reason this virus is called Covid-19 is because it is a coronavirus that was discovered in 2019. However, there are thousands of viruses that have lived in our bodies for years without you even knowing about it because your immune system keeps them in check and the news does not report about it everyday. In fact, you have already been exposed to coronavirus before if you ever had a cold, although you may not have been exposed to this specific one yet, as coronavirus has many mutations. Anyone of these viruses, including Covid-19, becomes a problem when the immune system is weak, thus

allowing viruses to take advantage and cause bodily harm. Unfortunately right now, everyone is looking how to fight the virus by looking at it from the outside and figuring out ways to prevent it from entering your body, such as social distancing, using antibacterial soaps, wearing a mask, and staying at home. My contention with this line of thinking is that you cannot hide from viruses because they are in your body right now. You have to have a strong immune system and be healthy so that when you do encounter a new virus, you can fight it off without the help of medications, antibacterial soaps, or lotions. If you are using a lot of antibacterial products, you will end up killing good microbes such as bacteria, fungi, and protozoa, that act as a defense system to keep out the bad stuff, absorb nutrients, and maintain a strong immune system. It is better to get some exposure to bacteria and viruses so you can make your immune stronger rather than trying to avoid any type of exposure. If you try to hide from viruses and avoid bacteria, you will weaken your immune system due to lack of use, as well as create resistant superbugs and superviruses that medication cannot treat. I do agree you can help reduce transmission of this virus by washing your hands with soap and water, as well as avoid touching your face, but we have to relax with all of the lysols,

The COVID-19 Antibody Test is a blood test that will detect a past infection with coronavirus. If you believe that you have had Covid-19, no longer have symptoms and would like to be tested, please call us to set up an appointment with our health care providers.

bleaches and antibacterial products that have known toxins in the ingredients. Because it is impossible to hide from viruses and bacteria, you cannot quarantine yourself now and expect that in a few weeks the coronavirus will no longer be here. If you have not already been exposed to Covid19, you soon will be as the country is starting to open up now. So instead of staying inside your home living in fear, I advise you to make your body strong and improve your health, so that when you do get exposed, your immune system can handle it and fight it off appropriately. We do not need to live in fear. If you are in fear, you will increase cortisol, which is the stress hormone. As a result of the increase in stress, your immune system will become suppressed and viruses are able to thrive and cause more harm to your body. In addition, if you just stay inside your house hiding from the virus, that means you are not going outside, breathing oxygen, and exposing your skin to the sunlight. Four of the best defenses against coronavirus are the sunlight, Vitamin D, air, and oxygen. Unfortunately, most people are deficient in Vitamin D. If you have current blood work, take a look at it right now. When analyzing blood work, it is important to look at the different ranges or scales. Remember that most people that get blood work are sick or have something wrong with their

health. In addition, most Americans have adopted a very unhealthy lifestyle that consists of a poor diet, sedentary lifestyle, poor sleep, lack of water, alcohol abuse, drug abuse, and high stress levels. Therefore, when you receive blood work, they are comparing you to a bunch of sick Americans, most of whom have heart disease, diabetes, obesity, cancer, and lung disease. So when the blood work comes back and they tell you everything is normal, they are really telling you that you are like a typical unhealthy American. When looking at blood work, it is recommended to use the functional medicine scale instead of what most labs use as the normal scale. For example, in reference to Vitamin D, most laboratories will state that any levels above 25 to 30 ng/mL are normal. However according to many functional medicine doctors, a healthy level would be above 60 ng/mL. If your Vitamin D levels are high, your immune system will function better and you have a better chance of not getting sick from coronavirus or other viruses. Another way people are trying to hide from the virus besides staying inside their homes, is wearing surgical masks. When doctors and nurses wear masks and PPE in hospitals, it protects the patient who is getting the surgery done by keeping the environment sterile. The masks will not prevent you from getting coronavirus, in fact, it might make things worse because it gives you a false sense of security. People who wear the masks end up touching their face a lot more which can also be risky. In addition, if you are wearing a mask, it may result in you breathing in less oxygen and more carbon dioxide. Consequently, this will create a more acidic environment and viruses thrive in acidic environments. If you already have a problem like asthma, COPD, bronchitis, or dizziness, wearing a mask may aggravate your condition so consult with your doctor and see if it is appropriate for you. In my opinion, it is better to go outside in nature, get some fresh air and sunlight, take off your mask, breath in oxygen, and exhale carbon dioxide. In addition, it is best to exhale twice as long as you inhale to maximize oxygen intake and reduce carbon dioxide levels to prevent dysfunction.

I also want to stress again how important it is to drink water. Drink half your body weight in ounces and take at least one sip of water every 20 minutes. If you drink water every 20 minutes, perform breathing exercises, get Vitamin D by going out in the sunlight for 20 minutes between 12 p.m. and 2 p.m., stop watching the news, go to bed early, meditate, be in nature, reduce stress, get off social media, keep social distances, wash your hands with soap and water, and do not touch your face, you will decrease your chances immensely. If you follow what the news and the government is telling you, you will be in fear which suppresses your immune system. If you follow what the news and the government is telling you, you will stay inside and not get sunlight and oxygen, which also suppresses your immune system. If you follow what the news and the government is telling you, you will wear a mask, which decreases oxygen and increases carbon dioxide which suppresses your immune system, as well. If you follow what the news and the government is telling you, you will stay at home and will not see friends and family. You will be isolated from your community creating depression and anxiety which will weaken your immune system making you more susceptible to Covid-19. If you watch the news, you will become stressed and anxious which will weaken your immune system making you more prone to coronavirus. However, if you keep it simple, and focus on getting fresh air, sunlight, and water, you will be less stressed, have a stronger immune system, and be more likely to defeat any virus so that you feel better, function better, and live better. If you are interested in learning natural ways to build your immune system and living a life without fear, stress, and anxiety please call me at (201) 261-2150 or email me at info@kaplanbrainandbody.com and I would be happy to help without drugs, medications, or surgeries.

would have it, West Milford played Westwood Senior Night and Coach Santulli coordinated with the West Milford coach, John Finke, to have Riley not only start but allow West Milford “win” the opening tip, pass the ball to Riley and let him dribble down and make a basket. The crowd gave him a standing ovation and there were very few dry eyes in the house. The Westwood players all congratulated Riley as he walked off the court and they celebrated like they had won that championship the year before, led, of course, by their coach. Seeing how the players were so happy for Riley shows me that this coach teaches a lot more than basketball. I truly cannot understand why the school district would not want John Santulli representing their school and town as the boys head coach. Kevin Babbitt New Milford

John Mike has always put others first and given more of himself than anyone could ask, in addition to being a terrific basketball coach. When I helped start the Challenger program back in 2007, I went to Coach Santulli for advice. He was more than happy to offer his advice and support. I share Coach Santulliʼs passion for the game of basketball, but more so, his passion for people and helping others. His program is truly an example that Iʼve drawn from as to how to provide a loving environment for caring about others. It simply goes beyond basketball, and truly helps the younger genera-

tion develop confidence in themselves, and just as important empathy for others, and giving back. To that end, Coach Santulli invited me to deliver a pregame speech to his team in 2014 before a state sectional playoff game. I had been recently diagnosed with stage IV cancer that had a life expectancy of just 9 months. I was very nervous about what to say to his team, and how to help inspire them. After the game, which Westwood won by about 40 points, I quickly realized that I wasnʼt there for his players, but realized his players were there for me. They didnʼt need a speech from me, but every single one of them offered words of encouragement and hope to me. When you have a coach leading young men, I think itʼs paramount that you have someone who leads by example. With Coach Santulli, you wonʼt find anyone better at developing young men who are confident, caring, and empathetic. I strongly support rehiring Coach John Santulli, and urge the Westwood BOE to do so, not so much for him, but more for the kids who will gain so much. Tom DeVries Jefferson Township

many current players, former players, parents, fellow coaches, and other community members who spoke on Coach Santulliʼs behalf provided proof that he has been, and continues to be, the right man to coach the young men of our towns. The board of education members should ask themselves one question concerning the boys basketball program: Who could possibly do a better job as head coach than Coach Santulli? Too often in the sports world, especially on the high school level, administrators and decision-makers make coaching changes without considering that the best person for a coaching position might be the person already in the position. Could any other coach produce better results from the WRHS talent pool than Coach Santulli has delivered over the past 13 years? Could any other coach create more connections between his players and the community? Could any other coach be more focused on the classroom success of his players? Could any other coach maintain more productive alumni relationships? Could any other coach serve as a stronger father figure to his players? The answer to these, and many other questions, is “no.” Westwood Regional has a great boys basketball coach in John Santulli. Dismissing him would be a grand mistake that would be felt for years to come. Damon Affinito Westwood

It’s clear that majority favors coach We need to To the editor: change the It has become clear that the overwhelming majority of interested community members in way we think Westwood and Washington Township support retaining John Santulli as the boys basketball coach at Westwood Regional High School. The public comments at last weekʼs board of education meeting displayed admiration and respect for his on-court success, community involvement, academic expectations, alumni engagement, and position as a strong male role model.

coronavirus! I came home on a Thursday morning and collapsed in bed. My next recollection was waking on Saturday morning. I closed my restaurant, Jackʼs Cafe, instantly! The only move for me after this was to get tested. For myself, yes, but more importantly FOR YOU. I got tested twice to be sure as I deal with the public. My tests are negative, and I am grateful. This opened my eyes to the fact we are not doing enough to combat this disease. Covid-19 is real and it is here! Until a vaccine is created, it is up to us to hold this beast back as best we can. It will take scientists to set us free, but until then, it is up to us human beings to contain the coronavirus. We must change the way we think. As I pulled into the first testing center I witnessed three sheriffʼs officers standing less than 2 feet from each other, not wearing masks and gloves. People in cars with their windows down were not wearing masks and gloves. As I passed two port-a-potties on the side of the road I witnessed a coronavirus

testing patient come out; there were no paper towels, no sanitizer, and no water source. All this, at a corona testing site. We must change the way we think! Change the way we think. Repetitive, yes, but this is how victories are won. This is how champions are made. Practice and repeat, practice and repeat. It is time for our community leaders to put pressure on all of us to change our thinking. Enforce what the medical world teaches us. If each of us starts to worry about the other guy or gal, we will all be taken care of. A “new normal” is on the horizon. There is no avoiding this, so embrace it: keep 6 feet away from each other, wear gloves and masks whenever you go outside, wash your hands multiple times a day, and stop shaking hands for now. But most of all, change the way we think until the new normal becomes normal. Chris DʼEletto Owner, Jackʼs Cafe Westwood

ON THE ROAD

Explaining your used car warranty options

Purchasing a previously owned vehicle requires a leap of faith. Even after relying on a test drive and a thorough inspection by a mechanic, itʼs impossible to know how the previous owner drove and maintained the vehicle and the wear and tear it may have endured. Drivers also cannot predict any issues that may crop up after signing a purchase contract. A certified pre-owned warranty from the dealership, an extended warranty or a different type of aftermarket warranty product can offer some peace of mind. Navigating these warranties can take some savviness. Certified pre-owned warranties tend to be the smartest bet in the realm of used car warranties. This is

because factory warranties are backing the product, and the vehicles that are given the CPO stamp have been properly vetted and are in great shape to be insurable, according to IntelliChoice, a company that develops and distributes consumer automobile ownership data, ratings of vehicles based on their consumer value, leasing cost data, and Certified Pre-Owned Program analysis. Many car companies conduct small repairs to prepare a vehicle for CPO status, and cars are inspected thoroughly to ensure they are worthy of being backed by the factory warranty. This is a boon to buyers because they know they are likely getting a quality vehicle. There are mixed reviews by

automotive experts on other aftermarket warranties, often billed as “vehicle protection plans” and “service contracts.” Some people believe they can save a lot of money. Others feel that they arenʼt redeemed enough to warrant the out-of-pocket cost, and that paying for repairs alone is more cost-effective. Autotrader, a vehicle value estimator and buying/selling tool, says that an extended warranty is rarely a good buy on a used car, but there are a few exceptions. If the car is notoriously unreliable (check J.D. Power reliability ratings), purchasing a warranty can be a smarter buy. Drivers should look for an exclusionary (bumper to bumper) warranty, which covers all items except for ones specifically excluded on a list. This type of warranty is more comprehensive, and thereʼs less of a risk that a claim will be denied. Other warranties include powertrain warranties, which only cover the vehicleʼs most important and expensive components. A WRAP warranty also may be attractive, as it will extend coverage to the few items that may no longer be covered by the original manufacturerʼs warranty. Buyers also can try to negoti-

The benefits of electric vehicles

Electric vehicles remain a curiosity for many motorists. While many industry experts predict all cars on the road will be electric models at some point in the future, gas-powered vehicles still outnumber electric cars by a wide margin. Some drivers may be hesitant to purchase electric cars out of a fear of the unknown. Thatʼs understandable considering the cost of new vehicles, electric or gas-powered. According to analysts at Kelley Blue Book, the average transaction price for light vehicles in the United States was more than $36,000 in early 2018. That makes vehicles a significant investment and perhaps explains why consumers have thus far been hesitant to embrace electric cars en masse. But the benefits of electric cars are many, and understanding just what those benefits are might compel more drivers to make the leap.

Effects on local economies Many countries, including the United States, import a substantial percentage of the petroleum they consume. For example, the U.S. Department of Energy notes that the United States imports 19 percent of the petroleum it consumes, threequarters of which is used for transportation. All-electric vehicles can be powered solely by domestically produced electricity, which can benefit

COVID-19 has brought changes to everything, and home design is no exception. Experts are expecting to see lasting impacts on everything from the materials we use to the rooms we prioritize.

Check out these and other noteworthy trends: Houses over apartments: Many people who live in condos or apartments do so to be closer to the action—work, entertainment and shops—and never planned on spending much time at home. But the pandemic has changed that, and more people are going to want a home that offers plenty of room and outdoor space in case they need to self-isolate again. Self-sufficiency: A hard lesson weʼve learned is that things and services we thought we could count on arenʼt necessarily a sure thing, so items that increase self-reliance

will become very popular. Expect to see more homes with sources of energy like solar panels, sources of heat like fireplaces and stoves, and even urban and indoor gardens that allow you to grow your own produce. Outdoor living: Between playgrounds closing and parks becoming overcrowded, many of us are turning to our balconies, patios and backyards for fresh air and nature. This means weʼre going to be investing more in our outdoor spaces, with functional kitchens, soothing water features, cozy firepits, and high-quality outdoor furniture to create a much-needed

escape. Healthier spaces: Thanks to spending more time indoors and reprioritizing our health, weʼll turn to design to help ensure our homes are safe and healthy for our families. Weʼll see a rise in products like water filtration systems as well as materials that improve indoor air quality. For new homes and additions, alternatives to wood-framing like insulated concrete forms from Nudura, which offer improved ventilation for healthier indoor air quality and an environment thatʼs less susceptible to mold, will be key. Home office space: Business experts are suggesting many companies will see that working from home is not only possible but offers tangible benefits, like saving money on office space rent. With working from home on the rise, creating a home office space that inspires productivity will be a major project many of us tackle. Luxury home office furniture that feels chic and blends into your dОcor as well as ergonomic chairs and desks will see a major boost. Custom and quality: With the hit to the economy, people are going to be buying less, but what they do buy will be better quality, while at the same time making an effort to support American businesses. When it comes to design, trends will shift to locally made furniture, custom-built homes and pieces and materials that stand the test of time. Find more information at nudura.com.

ories at the cottage or on vacation. A pool or spa can help transport you somewhere far away without leaving your home. A pool can help you and the kids get some exercise while swimming laps, while a spa can soothe tired muscles after a long day hunched over your laptop.

ICF pools also can be custom-made to accommodate any design, making them a very versatile and efficient way to build pools. Go wild with greenery. Live plants can help you feel connected with nature, and tending to them can help you feel relaxed yet productive during isolation. A vertical garden can add visual

COVID: How Pascack Valley towns are coping contributions and distribute them to families in need in town, with four residents as the trustees of the fund. Mayor Misciagna: Like most through the state, our senior center was hit hard by Covid-19, so we ceased our senior transportation to reduce the chances of the virus spread. Early on, I sent a letter to the governorʼs office asking for state assistance and Iʼve also personally spoken directly with the New Jersey Commissioner of Health Judith Persichelli requesting oversight of the senior facility which has since happened. Our OEM coordinator, Sgt. Michael Babcock, stays in touch with their administration and has helped them receive much needed PPEs. He has also been in contact with our disabled community at Lehman Gardens and continues to provide assistance in anything they might need. We have been contacting all senior residents that we are aware of that may need assistance during this time and providing any help they might need. Employees of the borough led by our business administrator, Julie Falkenstern, have even shopped for and dropped off food when needed. We have also put those in need with residents asking how they can help, and they continue to go out and get much

FROM PAGE 10

needed medicines and food necessities for the elderly. Mayor Ruocco: Since our senior citizen transportation van was cancelled to reduce the chances of virus-spread, our OEM staff and our recreation officials have spent time ensuring that our senior citizen population had access to food and essential transportation, and have been coordinating with the Helping Hand Food Pantry and local churches to facilitate this effort. We have great and generous residents, including high school students, offering their time and resources to help shop for seniors and disabled residents. Additionally, we provided masks and gloves to all seniors and all residents who need them. The head of our Fifty Plus Club has been making regular calls to over 80 members to ensure that we identify any problems that seem to be developing. Borough officials and the administrators of Helping Hand Food Pantry have reached out to scores of seniors and low-income residents to ensure that their needs are being addressed.

Describe how your community has risen overall to the challenge of the pandemic.

Mayor DiPaola: Everyone deals with things differently. Some

people are very concerned about this very unknown virus and others are not as concerned. Overall, though, our residents have taken this very seriously. We feel that the borough acted very quickly to this virus. I am pleased to see people out walking and doing drive-by birthday celebrations with our emergency services. When I talk to residents who tell me to keep going, thank us for what we have done and try to keep me pumped up, we remind each other that better days are coming. I thank them for what they have done to flatten the curve. Emerson will get through this! Mayor Ghassali: Hillsdale is a community of 10,500 residents, many of whom have lived here themselves or had families live here for decades. The COVID-19 pandemic is not a sprint to normalcy, but a long-term marathon. But, as the governor likes to say, we are “Jersey-tough.” In the past, we have had to deal with storms, power outages, and floods, and the effects of those events went on for weeks. But the damage was observable and palpable, and you knew that eventually, through the physical efforts of neighbors, municipal and county officials, and state and federal officials, things would get better. You got that positive feedback within days of the disaster.

From my frequent walks and bike trips through town, I think Hillsdale residents are coping with this well. Moreover, they are looking for signs that we are moving back to reopening our economy, because they know that at some point, the economic effects of being closed down (severe unemployment, food shortages, bankruptcies, social unrest, etc.) are going to rival the health effects of the virus. I think our residents are smart enough to appreciate the desire on the part of all elected officials to proceed cautiously and safely and as science permits. Mayor Misciagna: In Park Ridge we have experienced both fear and incredible amounts of courageous people asking to help others in need. We have used social media and our public access TV (PKRG TV) to disseminate COVID-19 related information. The courage is incredible to see in Park Ridge. We have a very active community of volunteers that have risen to the challenge and are optimistic while being smart and safe. Former Park Ridge police officer Scott Laughton, who is now a nurse, has been featured in articles for his contributions at Englewood Hospital, but we have many others. A Park Ridge resident, Chief Rob Anzellotti of the Bergen County Prosecutorʼs Office, continues to help us and others while his daughter, Taylor, who is a first-year nurse, serves at Hackensack Hospital. Taylor, who fell ill early on, returned to work the moment she was cleared to do so without hesitation. Iʼm in awe of these types of heroic gestures, but also just as much in awe of those like Park Ridge employees Julie Falkenstern and Tonya Tardibuono, who continue to buy groceries for the elderly in town so they donʼt have to leave home on their own; Marc of Marcʼs Pizza, who is quietly providing family meals through the food pantry for those in need; and Malissa Wright, the owner of Peppercorns, and Jonathan Goldstein of B&M Market in town, who quietly have been donating and delivering food to medical professionals at the Courtyard Marriott and Covid patientsʼ families throughout town. We in Park Ridge have a lot to be thankful for and I am proud of our community. Every day we see things like this. Itʼs been incredible! Mayor Ruocco: We have regularly been encouraging residents via town notice to patronize local restaurantsʼ take-out services, and been encouraging donations to our EMS volunteers whose normal fund-raising efforts have been severely curtailed. Most gratifying has been the response of many residents, including high school students, who have volunteered their time to shop for our disabled or elderly

residents, or have donated food and supplies. Among the donations have been PPE and cleaning supplies for our first responders. One resident has been actively sewing surgical masks for our responders. I recall with admiration, two retired nurses and an active physician who have volunteered their time to help. In the past several weeks, our borough clerk and office staff began making face shields for Valley Hospital and our own first responders using 3D printers from the local publicschool system. Can you relate stories of people in your community who have performed especially generous or heroic deeds?

Mayor Ghassali: We had several doctors and residents donate about 2,000 masks and almost 5,000 pairs of gloves, and we passed them out to residents in a drive-thru style on two weekends. Mayor Misciagna: Park Ridge hosted a medical professional/healthcare provider meal distribution event organized by Steven Rich who was born and raised in Park Ridge. At the event dozens of regular residents prepared, cooked, boxed and delivered approximately 1,900 meals to hospitals and senior centers throughout Bergen County. The event lasted two days and was a tremendous success. I was happy to attend and lend assistance. Mayor Ruocco: I recall with admiration, two retired nurses and an active physician who have volunteered by making face shields for Valley Hospital and our own first responders using 3D printers from the local public school system. The borough, in cooperation with Vitalant and the Pascack Valley High School, hosted a blood drive on April 23 that drew interest from 61 residents and resulted in 44 units of whole blood being donated. For our “junior” residents of school age that are experiencing birthdays, our police and fire departments have been trying to lift their spirits by appearing outside their homes with a siren and light display. Also, the store managers of our three main stores—ShopRite, Kings and Walgreens—have been generously donating disinfectant supplies for our first responders, and an owner-chef of a new business, Rockin Roots, donated home-made soup to residents. I get at least a dozen emails a day from residents offering contributions, food, cloths, masks and gloves, cooked meals to the first responders, just incredible generosity.

St. Joe’s families rise to alum’s sandwich challenge You might say it was the greatest thing since sliced bread. There was a long stream of cars in front of St. Joseph Regional High School in Montvale on April 22, as school families answered the challenge to prepare sandwiches for those facing food insecurity. Families dropped off sandwiches for those in need at St. Joseph Social Service Center and food/dry goods for the Office of

Concern Food Pantry at St. Ceciliaʼs in Englewood and People to People in Nanuet, the largest food pantry in Rockland County. T.J. Caleca (class of 2005), a member of the St. Joeʼs board of consultants, challenged each class to make 500 sandwiches. He personally pledged $2,500 to feed local medical professionals if the students met the goal. With support from future

Green Knights, faculty, staff and even alumni, the total climbed to 5,000 sandwiches plus truckloads of additional food. According to stats posted on the schoolʼs social media, the freshman class made 977 sandwiches, while sophomores made 1,143, juniors made 929, and the Class of 2020 led with 1,374. Photos courtesy St. Joseph Regional

With each family doing their part, the St. Joe’s community made over 5,000 sandwiches.

Mary Ann Henke, of Washington Township, passed away peacefully on Saturday, April, 18 at the age of 76. Mary Ann was born and raised in Brooklyn, New York. She graduated from Saint Brendanʼs High School and Kings County School of Nursing, before marrying Richard W. Henke on July 20, 1969, the day Apollo 11 landed on the moon. Richard and Mary Ann lived in New York, Chicago, and California, before settling in Ridgewood, New Jersey, where they happily raised four children. Mary Ann enjoyed taking care of others. She was a devoted wife, loving mother, doting grandmother, and caring geriatric nurse. Her ability to comfort loved ones was truly a gift. Mary Ann was also an avid reader with a strong interest in Catholic literature. Faith was extremely important to her. Throughout the years, she celebrated that faith by being a lecturer, singing in the choir, and teaching religious education. After retiring from nursing, Mary Ann and Richard enjoyed visiting their grandchildren and traveling. They took several cruises to the Caribbean and explored other parts of the United States. Upon their return, they loved sharing stories about their time away. Mary Ann is predeceased by her parents, Alexander and Dorothy, and her brother, Andrew Brezsnyak. She is survived by her husband Richard, her brothers Alexander and William Brezsnyak and her sister Frances Flood, her four children: daughter Cathy Moster and her husband Chris of Ramsey, NJ, Lynn Leitner and her husband Kevin, of New Hempstead, NY, Susanne Goldsmith and her husband Ken of Gaithersburg, MD, and son William and his wife Mandy of Chicago, IL; and her seven grandchildren Kevin and Michael Moster, Brendan and Connor Goldsmith, Ella and Sam Henke, and Karsten Leitner. Due to the pandemic there will be no public funeral or burial service. Becker Funeral Home of Westwood is handling the arrangements. A Celebration of Life gathering will be held at a future date. Memorial contributions may be made in her name to Alzheimers New Jersey (alznj.org) or Church of the Assumption, Emerson, NJ.

vessel was christened in his honor and named R/V Savitsky. It is used for the study of hydrodynamics in the New York Harbor. Dr. Savitsky truly enjoyed sharing his knowledge with students and colleagues, and accepted opportunities to further the study of marine engineering and naval architecture through his research, in the classroom, and to professional organizations.

Sang “Sandy” Muoio passed away Tuesday, April 7, 2020 surrounded by her family. She was 73. She was born in Saigon, Vietnam. She met her husband Antonio Muoio, an American solider, fell in love and got married in 1970. From Vietnam, Sang and Antonio came to the Bronx to start their life together. Sang and Antonio had two children, Emma and Anthony. To think of Sang, you think of home. She was the most kind and selfless woman you could meet. She was an angel sent from above and is now watching over us. She was the meaning of Love. She lived not for herself, but for her husband, children and grandchildren. We will miss all those times we spent together in her kitchen eating the most amazing Vietnamese/Italian food. Sang leaves behind her loving husband Antonio, her daughter Emma, son-in-law Maurizio, her son Anthony and daughter-in-law Lisa. She also leaves behind her four grandchildren Gianna, Antonio, Anthony and Isabella. She will be missed so deeply. She will never ever be forgotten.

Gail WEIGEL

On Wednesday, April 1, 2020, Gail Weigel (Peterson) passed away suddenly. A longtime resident of Hillsdale, Gail was born in Massapequa NY on Dec. 1, 1951 to the late Robert and Eleanor Peterson. A graduate of Massapequa High School, Gail was always proud to say she was a “Massape-

qua Girl.” Gail went on to Harriman College and later completed her education at Pace University in Manhattan. Gail was a dedicated employee of Chase Manhattan Bank for 27+ years and retired as a Vice President. Always a worker, during retirement she served as a crossing guard for the Hillsdale Police Department. Gail had a kind spirit and big heart.

Joseph A. FERRARA

Joseph A. Ferrara, of Washington Township, passed away on May 3, 2020 at the age of 96 following a brief illness. A proud veteran of the U.S. Army, he served his country during World War II and was one of the last of the Greatest Generation. Joseph was all one could hope for in a father. He exemplified the strong, loving, wise “Patriarch” whose undying fidelity to his family, his unfailing affirmation and presence in both good and difficult times were a pillar that stood firm for decades in the heart of the home and in the hearts of those who loved him. Josephʼs Catholic Faith defined his life; he placed fidelity to Godʼs Law above all else. His great love of the truth was seen in his defense of the Faith and his involvement in Catholic action in the political realm, during the course of which he employed his gifts as a powerful orator and skilled writer. But Joseph also knew how to laugh. His delightful sense of humor and quick wit set him apart from men who are merely imposing but not loveable. Joseph follows his beloved wife, Jane, who departed this world 31 years ago. He is survived by his devoted children Christopher, Diane, Joseph, and Paul, his beloved sister Virginia, his beloved grandchildren John, Andrea, Thomas, Christopher, Joseph, and Justin, and his great granddaughter, Cecilia. Joseph will be deeply missed by all who loved him. The world has lost a man of great goodness and integrity, loved and respected by all who knew him. Due to the current health crisis, all services will be held privately. In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to Our Lady of Fatima Chapel at 32 West Franklin Avenue, Pequannock, NJ, 07440, in gratitude for their generous priestly ministry to the family and to Joseph in particular.

Marie-Elizabeth MILLS

Marie-Elizabeth R. Mills, 59, of Emerson, NJ, passed away on Wednesday, April 29, 2020. Marie-Elizabeth is survived by her husband Wayne Mills; her daughter Kasandra Janine Marie Kolodziejski and her husband Daniel Kolodziejski and their children Jake Peter, Katarzyna Elizabeth Rose and Amelia Willow Marie; her sons Kenneth Lee Leight and Matthew Adam Leight; her best friend Nancy Schneider and her children and grandchildren; her parents Diana and Ronald as well as her siblings the late Ronald, Michael, Billy, Allen, Danielle, Marylou and Donna. Marie-Elizabeth held immense love for her children and grandchildren. She loved helping others and was a private nurse for many years until she retired. She loved talking to and spending time with her children and grandchildren, trips to Greenwood Lake, going on boat rides and swimming. Marie-Elizabeth used to love playing softball, spending time with friends, making dreamcatchers, doing crafts and making jewelry. When she walked into the room she always made herself known, showing happiness and light into people lives that they couldnʼt see themselves. Her greatest accomplishment was being a mother and raising her children with knowledge, wits and unconditional love. Her second best accomplishment was being a amazing, loving “Nanny” to all her grandchildren. Marie will be missed dearly and forever loved; she was a wonderful strong woman!

Thelma M. LARGE

Thelma “Mickey” M. Large (nee McAteer), passed away on May 4, 2020. She was 93. Thelma was born on April 4, 1927 in Paterson, the daughter of Samuel and Edith (VanWay) McAteer. The Great Depression left its mark on her family. As they struggled to make ends meet, her mother suffered a severe stroke. The rest of the family had to continue working so Thelma, a teenager, became the sole caregiver for her mother who required daily rehabilitation. She ultimately joined the war effort by working at a plant that manufactured parts used for aircraft gunsights. Through it all she maintained a zest for life and fondly remembered her days roller skating and dancing to the records of the Big Band Era. She married the love of her life, Robert, on March 16, 1946. They moved to River Vale, NJ in 1950 where they happily lived together until Bobʼs death in 2008. She was the typical 50s stayat-home Mom who loved to cook, bake, and tend to her flower garden, especially her prized roses. But, nothing could put a smile on her face faster than a puppy, especially cocker spaniels. She did not seek outside employment until her children were grown and out of the house. She worked at Gardnerʼs Florist in Westwood, NJ and later at the River Flower Shop. Thelma is predeceased by her parents, husband, two sisters; Evelyn Klempp and Mildred Elvin,

and her grandson, Dave Buschow. She is survived by her son, Robert Large and wife Janette, her daughter, Pat Mastalli and husband Fred, her grandchildren Chris Large, Mike Large, Cori Seferian, and Rob Buschow, and six greatgrandchildren, Abigail, Dan, Mason, Juliette Large and Cayla and Tyler Seferian. They will greatly miss their sweet GG. A celebration of Thelmaʼs life will be held at Becker Funeral Home in Westwood, NJ at a future date. Donations in her memory to St. Judeʼs Childrenʼs Research Hospital, 501 Jude Place, Memphis, TN 38105 will be greatly appreciated (www.stjude.org).

In lieu of flowers or donations, the family asks that well-wishers simply pass on kindness and goodwill to each other and strangers alike. A memorial service planned for a later date.

Managing grief over the death of a loved one during COVID

The coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) outbreak has changed many things about the way we live. The need to maintain physical distancing to reduce the spread of the illness means that the way we grieve the death of a loved one will be very different from what we are used to. Yet, we must grieve if we are to move on with our lives. Although it may look different, there are still ways we can stay connected and mourn our loved ones. It is normal to experience feelings of grief, sadness, anger, confusion and anxiety when someone you know dies. It is okay to recognize and express these emotions as we navigate these uncertain circumstances. You might feel guilty that you have survived while others have not. It is not your fault that they have died and you are still alive. You might even feel anger toward institutions and other organizations because loved ones are getting sick

or dying. In unprecedented circumstances, it is natural to want to place blame. We are all navigating these new realities together. It is also normal to think that our feelings of grief are not worthy of attention when so many are dealing with difficulty. It is okay to ask for help, even while others are struggling, too. Right now it is difficult for normal grieving to happen because many comforting rites and rituals, such as funerals and wakes, cannot occur as they do in non-outbreak time. Feeling isolated while practicing physical distancing can make it harder to process grief. Many people hear or feel the presence of someone who has died, and this can be even more intense while we are staying at home. People may feel anger towards others who may not have followed recommendations to reduce risk. They may also feel anger toward the person who died. Some may feel

angry that their loved one did not receive effective care or feel angry with institutions and other organizations for their response to the pandemic. Still others may feel guilty or angry if they were not able to visit or be with the person before their death. Grieving the loss of a loved one is always difficult, even more so without being able to gather with others who are mourning. It is important to remember that physical distancing does not mean social isolation. We can still connect with others for support and alter grieving rituals to comfort ourselves and our loved ones. You can expect to feel increased anxiety and sadness in these circumstances as physical distancing restricts or eliminates our ability to visit dying loved ones, honor ritual memorial gatherings, adhere to religious observances and support friends and family members in person. It is okay to be upset. Anger

and frustration are natural emotions to experience at this time. It is important to recognize these feelings and use healthy tools to manage them. Remember, we can still connect with each other while practicing physical distancing. It is common to want to isolate yourself when you are grieving, but it is important to stay connected to your friends and family in any way you can. Check in with loved ones by calling, texting or via video chat or social media. Hold virtual group remembrances or memorials. Create memorials on social media that can be shared with close friends and family. Plan an in-person memorial for when physical distancing guidelines are no longer in place. If livestreaming a memorial event or ritual is available (while being respectful and still being able to practice physical distancing), this may help you feel connected and

comforted. Help those who have experienced loss by calling, texting, emailing or connecting through video chat or social media. Even if the person doesnʼt respond, they will know you are there to support them. Take action without being asked. Often when people are in the middle of a crisis, they donʼt know what to ask for. Be creative in terms of what you can do for people. If you are not sick and do not have any symptoms, drop off food or groceries while maintaining a safe distance, send a care package or shop online to send items. New Jerseyans feeling the emotional and mental toll of COVID-19 can also get support from a special helpline. Call 1-866202-HELP (4357) to reach NJ Mental Health Cares for free, confidential support. Calls will be answered from 8 a.m. to 8 p.m. seven days a week by live trained specialists.
