SOS- Women And Children


Looking For An Angel To Save Shelter

By Cheryl Conway
or those who agree its better to give
than receive, there is an opportunity
banging on the door of a shelter organization that could help hundreds of
women and children who may be left on the
street if the mortgage is not paid.
Secret Santas may be long gone, but
there has to be an angel out there willing to
hold the mortgage of Strengthen Our Sisters, a grassroots, community based nonprofit, program serving homeless/battered
women and children for more than four
decades. Faced with mortgage conflicts, the
shelter has to come up with $30,000 by Jan.
15 to avoid foreclosure.
Established in 1977 as Shelter Our Sisters - the first shelter for battered women in
North America- the organization changed
its name to Strengthen Our Sisters (SOS)
and grew to eight houses, two day care centers, a food pantry and a thrift store. The
properties value a total of $2.5 million,
with just under $600,000 left to be paid.
With restricted monies coming in, the organization is at risk of closing its doors to
hundreds of women and children with no
other safe place to go.
I dont know what would happen to
these people, says Sandra Ramos of Ringwood, founder and executive director of
SOS. If we dont get help with the mort-

gage people will be on the street. If someone wants to be an angel and save our mortgage that would be great.
Ramos explains if we had the $30,000
it would be the drop down money if someone could give it.
Rialto Capital Management Advisors in
Florida, the company that is holding the
mortgage bridge loan, did not return phone
calls to New View Media Group as of press
time. Valley National Bank had sold the
mortgage to Rialto when SOSs funding
was reduced, says Ramos.
During this year and one half, they
have seen our reliability and commitment
to avoid foreclosure by paying $30,000
every three months, which is directly applied to the principal, along with a monthly
payment of $7,000, says Ramos. SOS has
done this faithfully, although it has been
challenging.
Ramos, a pioneer advocate for battered
women, started her first shelter in 1970 in
her three bedroom home in Hackensack.
She had three small children at the time,
was facing divorce after ten years of marriage and was in need of a roommate, she
explains.
I wanted a roommate, says Ramos, so
she put the word out that she wanted to
share her house. The ones who came to me

Layups 4 Life Continues To Fight


Cancer On The Court

By J. L. Shively
ith winter finally
rearing its head,
spring feels very
far away indeed. But with
something to look forward
to, perhaps winter will not
feel so very far after all.
On Sun. April 10, Dan
Exter is set to be hosting
the second annual Layups 4
Life challenge and registration for the event is now
open.
Exter, a Roxbury High
School alumni, always had

a passion for the game of


basketball and his passion
did not fade when he was
diagnosed with Acute Lym-

phoblastic Leukemia in the


summer of 2013. Having

Newspaper Company Thanks


Contributors Of Toy/Clothing Drive

ew View Media Group LLC, would


like to thank everyone who donated
toys and clothing for its second annual Toy/Clothing Drive. This year the
company had an overwhelming response.
It was through the generosity of our
readers that we were able to help nine local
families (20 children) and donate to
Strengthen Our Sisters, a shelter for
women, says Mary Lalama of Flanders,
co-owner of New View Media LLC.
Lalama organized her first drive last
year through the company as a way to give
back to the community and help those fac-

ing tough times. From Nov. 2015 through


Dec. 20, new, unwrapped toys and clothing including winter necessities such as
hats, gloves, coats and scarves for newborns through age 14, as well as gift cards
were donated with ten drop off boxes at
businesses throughout the surrounding
area.
I thank you from the bottom of my
heart for putting smiles on the faces of so
many children through your generosity,
stated Lalama. I am always so touched by
the outpouring of love in our communities.
Again I thank you all.

Editor Wraps Up Top 2015 Stories;


Welcomes More Shining Times For New Year

By Cheryl Conway
year has come and gone since I have taken the
reins as editor of New View Media Group Newspapers and what a positive journey it has been.
Being part of a company that has doubled in size, from
eight monthly papers to 17, has been so exciting but the
greatest joy for me has been being on the forefront of so
many wonderful stories that surround us every day. Most
other newspapers will fill their pages with police stories,
obituaries, car accidents, suicides, murders, disasters, law
suits, political battles and controversial issues that busy municipal governments and school boards.
While every journalist craves that news breaking story
or that shocking incident for that hard-nose reporter to capture all those details whether gory or devastating, there is
nothing quite refreshing or satisfying than covering a feel
good story that tugs at heart strings and puts a smile on
ones face.
My days this past year have surrounded me with stories
about the kindest people who have given their time, mind
and spirit to help others in need; who have gone above and
beyond in their endeavors or jobs; who have put other peoples lives before theirs; or about events that bring joy to
the community or raise needed funds or supplies for a particular issue or charity; and even about communities and

school districts that continue to work together to improve


their surroundings through new programs and resources; as
well as businesses that continue to keep hard workers employed while providing the best services to customers.
While New View Media Group is an unaffiliated paper,
meaning it remains untied to any particular religion or political group, it upholds similar virtues and ethics like being
kind to others, helping thy neighbor, giving tzedaka or charity, doing a mitzvah or kind deed, volunteering time and
sharing generously and unselfishly with those in need.
Looking back through the twelve months of 2015, so
many stories of genuine kindness fill my mind that it would
be wrongful of me to not reminisce before jumping in to
share the positive moments unfolding for 2016.
For Musconetcong News readers, the stories that took
center stage included the Netcong Elementary School that
participated in Hats Off To Cancer by donating hats of all
kinds to children with cancer; Mardis Gras Sunday musical
event at Stanhope United Methodist Church in Netcong
that raised money for continued devastation of Hurricane
Sandy; Hopatcong Womens Club collected 609 pounds of
food to help those in need; Hopatcong students spent one
week doing kind deeds for the Kindness Challenge; dedicated volunteers continued to help Lake Musconetcong
stay clean and clear; Netcong Girl Scouts hosted a

fundraiser and collected donations for food drive; local


churches partnered to collect and ship needed supplies to
war dogs; Netcong Boy Scout hosted a blood drive; Lake
Hopatcong Foundation hosted a fitness event to raise
$50,000 for lake; Girls Scouts collected crayons to recycle
to helps kids in hospitals; local family who lost 10 year old
boy in boating accident motivated others to participate in
acts of kindness.
The positive stories are endless and contagious really.
Shared each month to inspire, motivate, reflect and channel
others to get involved, donate, give back, participate or
even just turn negative energy into one filled with optimism
and hope, each community stands stronger and united
knowing that there are people out there who do care and
are making a difference every day.
Nothing wrong with being humble, but do not let that
stop you from contacting New View Media Group to share
your contribution of how you helped to make the world a
brighter place. There is nothing wrong with shining and
patting yourself on the back for some well-deserved recognition.
Send your press releases and story ideas to me at editor@newviewmg.com. I look forward to hearing from you
in 2016until then happy, healthy New Year to all readers.

Layups 4 Life...

continued from front page


Exter explains, I wanted to give back and
help the place which inevitably saved my
life.
Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center (MSKCC) is where Exter received his
treatments and it is this center where the
money raised from the Layups 4 Life challenge will be donated. Having had his
share of varsity court time at RHS, Exter
decided it would be the perfect place to
hold his challenge. I wanted to combine
my passion with a cause and that is how
Layups 4 Life was born, Exter explains.
Cancer research is a long and ongoing
process which is why funds are always
needed for the research as well as clinical
trials which will aid in working towards a
cure. Exter explains that after last years
challenge he divided the donations up into
three different categories all within
MSKCC. The categories were General
Leukemia, Pediatric Leukemia and a Bone
Marrow Research Foundation. Although

disbursement of funds has not yet been decided for this year, it is likely that the
money raised from the challenge will again
go to the same categories within MSKCC.
The Layups 4 Life main challenge consists of a 3-on-3 basketball tournament
open to both boys and girls ages 15 and up.
This challenge invites Roxbury residents to
compete and, as Exter explains, the challenge is open to the Roxbury community
and beyond, having stated that lasts
years event consisted of teams from all
over the east coast such as participants
from New York, Connecticut and Massachusetts.
The teams can be co-ed and in the past
had members from ages 15 up to 50. The
cost for registration is $25 per team member and teams consist of four members.
The cost of registration goes up to $30 per
team member after April 4.
This tournament gives a chance for anyone and everyone to show their skills on
the court as well as an opportunity to honor

Mardi Gras Breakfast And Service


To Aid Sandy Relief

Mardi Gras jazz worship service


and pancake breakfast is set to be
held at Stanhope United Methodist
Church in Netcong on Sun., Feb. 7. The
worship service is at 9:30 a.m. with Jazz
Music and the Pancake Breakfast will have
two seatings at 8:30 a.m. and 10:30 a.m.
Live and recorded jazz music will be featured at the breakfasts and worship service.

There will be a "free will" offering for


the breakfast and during the worship service. The offering will be used to continue
supporting Hurricane Sandy relief efforts.
There are still hundreds of families affected
and displaced from that storm more than
two years later.
For more information, call the church at
(973)347-0247.

family and friends who continue their battle with cancer. Exter recalls that many
teams make t-shirts with their team name
and one team last year had shirts to honor
their friend still fighting cancer. This tournament is a great reminder of the strides
that have been made to combat cancer,
with Exter being living proof, but it is also
proof that the battle has not yet won for
everyone.
An overall winner of the tournament
will be chosen at the end of the event. Last
year the winners were presented with a
gym bag with the Layups 4 Life logo on it
and spectators who participated in the raffle and silent auction were able to win an
array of gift certificates donated by local
businesses as well as professional sports
memorabilia. Exter says a prize is hopefully in the works for this years winners
as well.
With last years tournament the Layups
4 Life challenge raised more than $10,000
with 40 teams registered to play and 300
spectators in the stands, the Layups event
had quite the draw. With this years event

drawing closer challengers, seasoned and


rookie, are invited to come out and register.
There is more than one way to participate. A group can register a team to take
part in the tournament. Teams consists of
four members, giving the 3-on-3 challengers a one substitute.
Even for those who wish to stay off the
court there is a place to help out, Exter explains that making a donation, becoming a
sponsor or even just coming by on the day
of the event to take part in the silent auction and raffle as well as cheering on the
teams helps out just as much.
The event is scheduled to be held at the
ROHS on Sun. April 10; doors open at
10:30 a.m.; team registration confirmation
is at 10 a.m.
For more information about Layups 4
Life or to become a sponsor email Exter at

program or to register for the event go to

Share Love Of Animals And Volunteer


At Turtle Back Zoo

ssex County Turtle Back Zoo is recruiting volunteers


for the 2016 Docent Class. Docents are volunteer
educators who give educational talks, act as tour
guides, and are stationed throughout the Zoo to provide information to visitors about the Zoo and its animal collection. This is a highly selective volunteer position and
training is required.
Our docents help every visitor have an enjoyable and
memorable experience at our zoo, said Essex County Executive Joseph N. DiVincenzo, Jr. Whether walking through
our zoo grounds or making presentations in schools or at
community events, our docents are volunteer ambassadors
who share their love and knowledge about animals and their

habitats, and encourage the public to have respect for the environment. If you love animals, we encourage you to attend
the training course and become a Turtle Back Zoo docent.
New docents must be at least 18 years old and complete
a six-day course instructed by experienced TBZ staff.
Training will begin on Sun., Feb. 14 and continue on Sundays through the end of March. There is a non-refundable
fee of $25 which covers training materials and handouts.
The application for the class can be accessed at http://turtlebackzoo.com/docent-volunteers/.
If interested, contact the Zoos volunteer coordinator at
tbzdocents@yahoo.com or call 973-731-5800, ext. 306 for
more information.

her work hours, by helping students before and after school,


as well as meeting with parents throughout the year.
Morin has been employed at Netcong Elementary School
for 12 years as a school nurse. She volunteers her time as
Wellness Coordinator and Municipal Alliance Liaison; organizes food drives and collections for families in need; collaborates with parents on their child's health concerns; and is
there each day to help fulfill any medical needs that may
occur. Morin leads her position with as much heart as she
does knowledge for health education.
The Netcong GEOY Committee planned a whole school
event and announced the winners with their families secretly behind the stage curtain. This made the event even
more special. There was excitement in the air while the winners were announced.

Looking For An Angel To Save Shelter...

were the ones who got battered, says


Ramos. Women called to say I cant stay
in my house.
One roommate turned into 23 women in
her house at one point, she admits. Her
children would sleep with her in her waterbed; there would be some guests on the
floor, in the bathtub, in the basement.
I would get a call and say Im sorry I
have no room. But it was difficult to turn
people away who would say I finally got
the courage to leave; if you dont take me I
will die.
Ramos says, My neighbors said they
didnt want battered women on their block,
and I told them, they are already here, the
question is do you want them living with
pain, suffering and horror or do you want
them living with peace, dignity and respect?
When the town found out that Ramos
had too many people at her house they
threatened to put me in jail, she says. The
town cited her for overcrowding because
she had three or more unrelated people living together.
I told the town If you want a place for
them you have to drag them out kicking
and screaming; so they put them in a
motel, Twin Lakes Motel in Paramus.
Ramos did not turn her back on them
and instead continued to help them.
We would have to pick them up and
take them to look for housing, counseling,
says Ramos. They [the town] didnt give

them food or services, counseling.


The Catholic Church would bring food
and battered women would work together
to help other women.
Over the years, in 1977, her initiative
became Shelter Our Sisters. She moved out
of her house to Bergen County in a house
located on a churchs property in Bogota.
About 10 to 15 women in children lived
there.
Her organization grew, and established
a board of directors, but after a disagreement, the board fired Ramos in 1986.
Ramos separated and formed SOS a
year later. With her children grown, she
moved to her house in Ringwood and people started calling me. I let some people
stay in my house. We knew we had to get a
shelter.
They opened a thrift store in Haskell.
We raised more money, and even the
board from her first organization would
send her people to help.
With a state regulated budget of up to
four million dollars, Ramos was able to
manage her organization but as state regulations got stricter, operations got tougher
such as paying the mortgage.
Ive always been an advocate for
women and children, says Ramos, who
teaches social issues and dynamics of domestic violence at Ramapo College in
Mahwah as an adjunct professor. Everybody has been touched by domestic violence in one way.
One woman was going to be killed by

a gangster guy, explains Ramos. Other


women and children she brought into her
shelter were rich but their husbands were
molesters and child abusers. No one would
take them. We reach out to people who need
help. We help a lot of pregnant women and
children.
Through her shelter program, Ramos
says thousands have been saved during
the past 46 years. With two hotline numbers, Ramos has made herself available to
help others.
The mission of SOS is to break the cycle
of domestic violence, poverty and abuse by
restoring balance and harmony through individual empowerment.
She currently helps 155 women and children in seven shelters located in New
Foundland, Wanaque and West Milford;
two daycare centers in Wanaque and West
Milford; a thrift store in a church; and one
food pantry in Wanaque.
To support her organization, Ramos receives some money from the Passaic
County Dept. of Human Services, private
donations, counties and social services,
but not enough to keep it going. We have
a transportation grant but they took it away.
We have five vans; we need help. Weve
been running for three and a half years with
a non-paid staff, down from a paid staff of
55 that were let go when SOS lost funding,
she says.
Ramos says she currently has 17 nonpaid volunteers who drive the shelter residents to look for jobs, to court, doctor

appointments, social services, schools; they


fix things, watch children.
They are exhausted but they believe in
the shelter, says Ramos, just like she does.
I have seen women that have come to
me and their lives are a wreck, depressed,
suicidal, she says.
People are still calling, continues
Ramos. Every day I get four or five calls.
We take almost everybody. We take people
who no one else will take. We take people
without welfare vouchers. We dont want to
see them killed, beaten or frozen to death.
Yesterday, a 70-year old woman had no
heat, we took her, adds Ramos. She also
took in another woman with five children,
who would be out in the street forced to
live with child molesters.
One of her houses is for all older
women, some in wheelchairs, others with
oxygen. Nobody will take them.
Many of the women and children her organization helps dont have families, are
on section eight, have families or friends
who dont like them; who dont want to
help them. We have a lot of dysfunctional
families.
Ramos explains, I see them heal, get
strong and get their lives together. We live
in a violent society; theres a lot of violence.
The work Im doing I feel its a mission but
right now I need an angel. I just need someone to pay off the mortgage or hold it. We
just really need someone to help.
To make a donation or to help, call
Ramos at 973-831-0898.

Messiah Concert Features Local Performers


cert was cancelled. Due to various conflicts, the concert was
not going to be rescheduled in Dover. Many of the disappointed singers contacted Henry and asked if there were some
way that the concert could be performed. Henry, who is the
director of music and organist at First United Methodist
Church in Newton, said that they could come to Newton to
do it. There were some doubts whether they would have
enough singers, but had 45 for that first January concert.
Also, people liked the timing of it.
Everyone loved having the concert in January after all
the hustle and bustle of the Christmas season was over. Last
year, we had more than 75 singers representing 32 churches,
said Barbara.
This year, again, singers from the local areas will be joining in for what has become, for some, a tradition.
Because once is never enough! said Grace Church of
Hopatcong.
Another Hopatcong resident, Irene Yearwood , said, I
have been singing it for many years and love doing it. Many
of the performances of Messiah in which Ive sang were with
Henry at the organ.
For Amanda Drake Liu of Randolph, is it a way to honor
loved ones. She said, My mother sang in the Messiah for
over 45 years - for our family, the performance, a test of endurance for even the most well behaved child, signaled the
start of the Christmas season. She passed away five years ago
around this time. I brought my father to hear the Messiah here

By Elsie Walker
essiah concerts arent just for Christmas anymore.
On Sun., Jan. 24, at 4 p.m., Part I and selected choruses and solos from Parts II and III of Handels
famous work will be performed by the Unity Choir under the
direction of choir director/organist Henry Repp of Netcong.
The concert will take place at the First United Methodist
Church of Newton in Newton. The choir is made of singers
from a variety of local area churches.
Traditionally associated with Christmas, Messiah is a
1700s work based on scriptural text compiled by Charles
Jennens. According to the America Classic website
(http://www.classicamerica.net/), The text begins in Part I
with prophecies by Isaiah and others, and moves to the annunciation to the shepherds, the only scene taken from the
Gospels. In Part II, Handel concentrates on the Passion and
ends with the "Hallelujah" chorus. In Part III he covers the
resurrection of the dead and Christ's glorification in heaven.
Soprano Barbara Repp, Unity Choir member and wife of
its director, explained that the January concert is an outgrowth
of a long-standing Messiah Christmas concert that was held
at the Memorial Presbyterian Church in Dover. That concert
had been done for many years, but fell by the wayside.
Barbara explained, In 2012, they again tried to revive the
Messiah performance and asked Henry to be the organist.
The concert was set for a Saturday afternoon in mid-December. A major snowstorm arrived on that weekend and the con-

for the past few years. He passed away last year. I am singing
in memory of both of them.
In the case of Barbara Edwards of Newton, it reminds her
of her high school days at Roxbury High School in Succasunna and singing it there: It was a long-standing tradition,
and we spent many hours learning our parts under the direction of Bud Beavers, a music director with great passion for
his work and a wonderful sense of humor. We all loved him
and sang our hearts out for him. I always have looked back
fondly on my high school Messiah experience, and when the

Blood Drives Held In Jan.


ew Jersey Blood Services has
planned the following blood
drives which are open to the pub-

lic.
Tues., Jan. 19, Greater Morristown
YMCA, Cedar Knolls, 2 p.m. to 8 p.m.
Wed., Jan. 20, St. Francis Health Resort, Denville, 1 p.m. to 7 p.m.
Thurs., Jan. 21, Chatham High School,
Chatham, 4 p.m. to 8:30 p.m.
Thurs., Jan. 21, Lake Hopatcong Elks
782, Mt. Arlington, 3:30 p.m. to 8 p.m.
Fri., Jan. 22, Shoprite, Flanders, 1 p.m.
to 7 p.m.
Sun., Jan. 24, Seventh Day Adventist
Church, Dover, 8:30 a.m. to 2:30 p.m.
Mon., Jan. 25, Shoprite, Succasunna,
10 a.m. to 8:30 p.m.
Mon., Jan. 25, Knights of Columbus,
Netcong, 3 p.m. to 9 p.m.
New Jersey Blood Services, a division
of New York Blood Center (NYBC) is
asking for help to maintain an adequate
supply of all blood types, but especially
O-negative the universal blood which
can be transfused into anyone in an emergency. In addition, hundreds of additional
blood drives need to be scheduled to meet
projected hospital demand. Current inventory of several blood types is running

below the desired target level.


Its simple: hospital patient demand
for blood often outpaces our best efforts
to recruit donors and schedule blood
drives, said NYBC Executive Director of
Donor Recruitment Andrea Cefarelli.
There are always reasons but we have to
overcome that for the sake of hospital patients who need us.
This is one of the toughest times of
the year, Cefarelli added. Were asking
for our dedicated supporters to roll up
their sleeves to make sure were able to
provide our hospital partners with whatever they need to take care of their patients.
Blood products have a short shelf life
from five to 42 days, so constant replenishment is necessary. Each and every day
there are patients who depend on the
transfusion of red blood cells, platelets
and plasma to stay alive. But blood and
blood products cant be manufactured.
They can only come from volunteer blood
donors who take an hour to attend a blood
drive or visit a donor center.
To donate blood or for information on
how to organize a blood drive call 1-800933-2566; visit: www.nybloodcenter.org.

Messiah Concert...

continued from previous page


Unity Choir reinstated this tradition, I was
naturally thrilled. I still use my yellowed, tattered high school score, by the way.
This year, in addition to having Henry on
the organ, the choir will be joined by soloists
Tom Carle (tenor), Kathleen Meredith (alto).
David Young (bass), and Molly Young (soprano).
Henry, a church organist for 48 years,
began his organ studies with Alfred Mayer of
Morristown and continued with Dorothe
Lanning at First Memorial Presbyterian in
Dover, where he was later organist for 13
years and began his many years of playing
Messiah. He had played at numerous venues
and organ concerts on a variety of organs in-

cluding those at St. Thomas Church in Manhattan and the Cathedral Basilica of the Sacred Heart in Newark. He was affiliated with
the Pike County Choral Society for ten years.
In 1984, Repp accepted the position of organist/choir director at Peapack Reformed
Church in Gladstone where he served for
twenty-nine years. He founded the Peapack
Reformed Church Community Choir which
presented a special musical program annually
on Palm Sunday afternoon. In 2012, Repp
became Director of Music and organist at
First United Methodist Church in Newton.
For more information on the Jan. 24 Messiah concert, call the First United Methodist
Church of Newton at 973-383-4450.

High School Students At CCM Assist With Space Station Project

ot many students can say they have


played a part in the International
Space Station. Come this spring,
however, high schools students enrolled in
the Engineering Design and Advanced
Manufacturing (EDAM) program at
County College of Morris (CCM) will work
in a select group as NASA affiliates to build
products for the International Space Station.
Its an amazing opportunity for young
students to gain practical hands-on experience and to start building their resumes,
said Eric Pedersen, lab assistant for the engineering programs at CCM who applied to
see if the high school students at CCM
could take part in the NASA High School
Students United with NASA to Create
Hardware (HUNCH) for the International
Space Station. CCM is the first college to
partner with NASA HUNCH.
To mark the launch of the project at
CCM, Dr. Florence Gold, NASA HUNCH
implementation project manager, met with
the EDAM students on Wed., Jan. 6, to review their assigned task for the space sta-

tion and offer recommendations and suggestions. Also in attendance was John
Schamarek Jr. from Haas Factory Outlet.
The students will be working on equipment
manufactured by Hass. At CCM, they will
be taking part in the HUNCH Build to Print
program designing and manufacturing parts
for single stowage lockers for the space station.
When you put this on your resumes,
you are NASA contractors with the Johnson
Space Center, Gold informed the students.
You are now working for the space station.
Dr. Edward J. Yaw, president of CCM,
adds, Not only are these EDAM students
gaining a competitive edge by starting a
college education early, now they will be
implementing what they are learning in the
classroom for NASA and gaining the experience to help them launch successful careers.
EDAM is a share-time program developed by the Morris County Vocational
School District in partnership with CCM

earlier this year. About 20 high school students are enrolled in the inaugural class.
The program is designed for students
with an interest in engineering, computer
applications and manufacturing. Upon
completion of the two-year program, stu-

dents earn 32 credits from CCM and a Certificate of Achievement in Mechanical


Computer Aided Drafting and Engineering
Technology.

Recycling is a way for all Morris


County residents, and our schools and
businesses, to make a personal hands-on
difference in protecting our environment
and enhancing the quality of life in our
county and state, said Morris County
Freeholder Director Kathy DeFillippo.
Recycling not only conserves resources, it conserves energy, saves money
for local governments, and creates jobs
and economic development, said DEP
Commissioner Bob Martin.
The best way to recycle is to follow the
guidelines advertised by your municipality
and only recycle those materials which are

Scholarships Available For

acceptable. Unacceptable materials in the


recycling stream cause problems and
lower the value of all the materials, said
Morris County Recycling Coordinator
Kathleen Hourihan.
The states recycling grant program is
funded by a $3 per ton surcharge on trash
disposed of at solid waste facilities across
the state. Distribution of grants this year is
based on the recycling successes local
governments demonstrated in 2013.
The grant program is designed to reward local governments for good performance and to enhance recycling efforts
across the state, according to the DEP.
Each award is based on materials collected and recycled and can be used in various ways to improve recycling results,
such as producing educational materials
and paying salaries for recycling coordinators.
In 2013, New Jersey generated more
than 10 million tons of municipal solid
waste (MSW). The DEP documented the
recycling of more than 4.3 million tons of
recyclable municipal wastes, which includes items such as glass, aluminum and
other metals, and paper.
This resulted in a MSW recycling rate
of 43 percent. In comparison, the national
MSW recycling rate in 2013 was 34.3 percent, according to the federal Environmental Protection Agency. Morris County
continues to be one of the leaders in the
state with an MSW recycling rate of nearly

50 percent.
Overall, New Jersey in 2013 generated
more than 21 million tons of solid waste,
which includes municipal waste plus construction debris and other types of nonmunicipal waste. Of this, more than 12
million tons were recycled, for an overall
recycling rate of 58 percent.
Municipal programs in the New View
Media Group coverage area will receive
the following grants: Chatham $34,911;
Chatham Twp. $10,554; Chester $4,734;
Chester Twp. $8,055; East Hanover
$37,829; Florham Park $20,823; Hanover
$31,692; Madison $40,905; Mendham
$7,506; Mendham Twp. $3,849; Morris
Twp. $37,871; Morris Plains $16,697;
Morristown $37,512; Mt. Arlington
$2,841; Mt. Olive $36,149; Netcong
$4,901; Randolph $36,382; Roxbury
$26,762; and Washington $19,263.
New Jersey was the first state to make
recycling mandatory, back in 1987, said
Mark Pedersen, DEPs assistant commissioner for Site Remediation and Solid
Waste Management. The recycling culture
is deeply ingrained in most of us and has
become a daily habit in most of our homes,
businesses, schools, hospitals and other institutions. Every time we pitch a bottle or
can in the recycling bucket, we are pitching
in to protect our environment.
