work is just beginning. A captain should take their responsibility with a great deal of seriousness and dedication to be as effective as possible. This means doing things like leading by example through hard work in practice, making the right decisions before during and after games and being steady in the classroom. Not all captains are able to live up to all of those responsibilities and their ability to lead is in many cases diminished. This winter, the Roxbury High School ice hockey program has three captainsAnthony Zaragoza, Gabe Rowe and Sam Sherwoodwho are in strong standing with their coaches and teammates as well. Zaragoza, Rowe and Sherwood are well respected because of the way the lead the team, not only through words, but also through actions. All three captains are seniors for the Gaels. Anthony was an incumbent captain from last season and Sam was named captain at the end of his jun-

3 Captains for Roxbury H.S. Ice Hockey Team
By Josh Lashley hen a high school student-athlete is chosen to be a team captain, it should rightly give them a sense of pride-with a feeling that they are highly thought of by their coaches and teammates. But, once someone is selected as a captain, the
ior year as he was unanimously recommended by all 15 of last year's graduating seniors, Roxbury head coach Jon Benbow said. Gabe was my choice as a third captain at the start of
this season. Each season I do my best to choose captains that demonstrate commitment, discipline and sportsmanship on the ice, that represent our program in a positive manner on the
ice, in the classroom, and in the community, and that have dedicated themselves to the dual responsibilities of being both students and athletes. continued on page 4

continued from front page When it comes to performing on the ice, Zaragoza, Rowe and Sherwood play with confidence and intelligence, to go along with their considerable skill sets. All three captains have been key members of our team in the locker room and on the ice, Benbow said. Gabe is the second leading scoring forward with eight goals and seven assists, Anthony has four goals and nine assists and is tied for the team lead in assists, and Sam has four goals and seven assists and is the anchor to our penalty killing unit. All of the statistics listed above were from games played through the month of January. As of February 1, the Gaels had an overall record of 8-5-2 and they were in second place in the Halvorsen Division. Benbow is impressed not only with what
3 Captains...
the captains are achieving on the ice, but also the many things they do to prepare themselves and their teammates for competition. All three captains are good students and work as hard off the ice as they do on the ice, Benbow said. All three captains are usually three of the first guys on the ice, taking any free time they can find to work on shooting, passing and puck control. They are vocal leaders in the locker room and on the ice, and are constantly encouraging their teammates and keeping everyone focused and positive.

One of the biggest challenges with dental implants is finding implants that are placed in poor positions, making them difficult to be restored correctly. This happens when the dentist who places the implants is not focusing on the restorations. This does not happen all the time, but when it does happen, it can be frustrating for all parties involved. It can also put the implants at risk of failure, which may not be apparent until a number of years have elapsed. When doing your homework on choosing an implant dentist, there are some important questions or topics you should consider asking your dentist and / or surgeon: How long have you been placing / restoring implants? What kind of training do you have? What implant organizations are you involved with? If more than one office is involved, how in-sync are the two offices? How long have you been working together? Can you please show me other cases you have completed that are similar to mine? Who will I see for maintenance and follow-up care: the dentist who placed the implants or the dentist who restored the implants? Do I have to see both? Will there
re you in need of dental implants, and unsure of who you should see? Maybe you want your dentist to take care of them, but they are suggesting sending you to an oral surgeon or periodontist, and that makes you uncomfortable. Or maybe your general dentist doesnt get involved with implants at all. Choosing the right dentist for dental implants can be confusing and nerve-wracking. Its important to understand dental implants are not a specialty; so technically, any dentist can perform the procedure. Dentist have many different levels of training. Most dentists simply restore the implants with the prosthesis, meaning a crown, bridge, denture, or hybrid teeth. These dentists will work with an oral surgeon or periodontist to place the implants; this is where a referral becomes necessary. Other dentists are comfortable placing implants as long as they are straight-forward. If the amount of bone available is minimal, grafting may be necessary and referrals again become likely. Some dentists, such as Dr. Goldberg, are experts in implant dentistry with years of training and experience, and thoroughly enjoy implant dentistry. The advantage to this is one dentist is taking full responsibility for the treatment and you only have to

be multiple charges for the maintenance visits? What are my other options for treatment? If the dentist or surgeon answering those questions is fully capable and confident in their responses, you can be comforted they may be the right dentist to perform your implants. The office of Dr. Goldberg offers free consultations. If youd like to speak with Dr. Goldberg personally and determine the best course of action for your specific situation, please call his office.
Dr. Goldberg is a general dentist located in the Roxbury Mall in Succasunna, NJ. He provides dentistry for the entire family, including: cleanings, check-ups, whitening, veneers, crowns, root canals, dentures, periodontal (gum) services, dental implants, and much more. He is a Diplomate of the American Board of Implantology/Implant Dentistry, holds multiple degrees and is recognized as an expert in dental implants.

strong work ethic and the ability to learn from their own mistakes and correct the mistakes of their teammates. In many cases, a head coach will select several athletes to be captains, because as a group they have the positive attributes that it takes to be a team leader. Then there are teams such as the Roxbury High School girls basketball program, which is fortunate enough to have a student-athlete on the roster who alone can supply ample leadership to the entire squad. Jamie Katzenberger, a junior for the Gaels, is that player and the guidance that she provides to the program is definitely noteworthy. Head coach Kevin Bewalder knows that the right decision was made the day that Katzenberger was given the honor of being the sole captain on the roster. Jamie Katzenberger is our lone captain, Bewalder said. She is in her third year as a varsity basketball player. Her work ethic is second to none and she leads by example. She is the first to throw herself on the floor for a loose ball and at the same time is willing to defend the opposing teams best player regardless of what position they play. Katzenberger doesnt put up the kind of gaudy statistics that gain headlines in the newspapers, but that in no way diminishes what she brings to the court. What Katzenberger means to the Gaels goes well beyond numbers in a box score. Jamie is not the type of player that will stick out in the box score when you are looking at points, but fills up our stat sheet with lots of numbers, Bewalder said. She is second on our team in points per game, tied for second in rebounds per game, second in assists, and first in steals. She is the most valuable player to our team when she is on the floor. There have been a few games where she has been in foul trouble and we have really struggled when she is off the floor for an extended period of time. What truly impresses Bewalder about Katzenberger is the way in which she is there to consistently help her teammates improve in a variety of areas of the sport. Her confidence in her teammates helps put them at ease, never making them stress over how they are performing, Bewalder said. The things she does on the court, like getting open for a teammate that may be under pressure, again helps her teammates. Just this pastTuesday night (February 4), while on the bench she grabbed my dry erase board and was going over some defensive strategies with some of the younger players that were playing junior varsity and missed out on our pregame speech. She is just a top-notch kid. She has all the tools to make her extremely successful in whatever career she chooses to go into. I believe the best is still yet to come in terms of her basketball career, whether it is the end of this season or during her senior season.
By Josh Lashley ust because an athlete excels at their chosen sport doesnt always mean that they the character traits needed to be a team captain. Actually, there are those instances where a stand out athlete is quite narcissistic, worrying only about themselves and what they as an individual can achieve as opposed to doing what is the best interest of the team as a whole. It takes a great deal to be an effective captain, with attributes such as maturity, a

do the right things on and off the court. He has put a considerable amount of trust in the captains and they have responded in a positive way. I did not pick them as captains and neither did the other players, Deeb said. I just let things go and see who steps up to lead. Timmy and Alex stepped into the role of leaders immediately. They do most of the talking in huddles and they also lead by example. There are high points as well as setbacks that just about every team in every sport goes through in a given season, having experienced student-athletes such as Pilrun and Taylor who know how to be of proper guidance for the rest of the Gael players is a significant plus for the program. They encourage their teammates in a very positive way, Deeb said. They are always pushing their teammates to work hard in practice. Many of the things that Taylor and Pilrun do during a game dont always get noticed in the box scores of the newspapers, but the attributes that the captains bring to the court are still quite important. As basketball players, they are not big scorers or rebounders, Deeb said. They do not compile impressive stats. But they play very important roles as tough defend-
By Josh Lashley aptains of a high school sports program earn that honor in variety of ways. Sometimes, the coaching staff will huddle together and decide which student-athlete or student-athletes deserve the very important leadership role. On other occasions, the head coach will leave it up to the young men or women on the roster to determine which of their teammates have what it takes to a well-rounded captainwhich means being not only responsible in their chosen sport, but in the classroom as well. Then there are those instances when an athlete will simply rise up and emerge as a leader through their words and/or actions. This is the case for the Roxbury High School boys basketball program this winter. The captains in the lineup-Timmy Pilrun and Alex Taylor-were not specifically voted upon by the coaches or by the players on the team, rather they demonstrated to those around them that they had the right characteristics to earn captainships this season. Both Taylor and Pilrun are seniors for the Gaels. This is certainly an honor not to be taken lightly and head coach Jon Deeb has a good deal of confidence in Pilrun and Taylor to

ers. Alex is the toughest kid on the team and plays great defense and he rebounds well for a guard. Timmy defends the best player on the other team and he is our top threepoint shooter. Something that truly pleases Deeb is the ways in which the captains strive each day to make improvements as basketball players, while also helping their teammates get better on a consistent basis. They have improved as far as settling
into their roles for the team, Deeb said. They also have improved in the area of taking care of the ball. NOTES: Roxbury finished January just a few games below the .500 mark. On Thursday February 20 and Saturday February 22, the Gaels have road games at Chatham and Sparta, respectively. OnFebruary 28, Roxbury is scheduled to conclude the regular season with a home game versus Montclair.
Roxbury Public Schools Launches New 1-To-1 Initiative At Roxbury H.S.
Focus group of 90 students will receive Google Chromebooks

Swanson noted, Todays students are digital natives; this project is simply reaching out to them in their favorite learning style. To be successful, according to Rehman, digital learning requires more facilitation and less instruction, evolving instructional methods as well as tools that give teachers support for extra prep time, coaching and professional development. All students have unique needs, abilities and interests and educational technology enables students to experience a more individualized curriculum that assists them in gaining the 21st century skills necessary to be successful in college and career, Rehman said. For more information and updates about the initiative, go to www.Roxbury.org/1to1 or call 973-584-8121. Roxbury High School will host an information session on February 19 in the Roxbury High School Auditorium at 7 p.m. to provide more details about the program and answer any questions parents may have.
oxbury Public Schools will embark on a 1-to-1 Technology initiative in February, issuing a pilot group of students laptops that will help foster a highly engaging learning environment that transforms teaching and learning, both during and outside of the school day. A focus group of 90 Roxbury High School ninth grade students, comprised of three English courses and three Math courses, will receive Google Chromebooks. Of these students, 23 of them are enrolled both the Math and the English courses in the pilot group. "We think that the touchscreen capability of the Chromebooks will be more engaging for students," said Teresa Rehman, Supervisor of Technology for Roxbury Public Schools. The rationale behind the technology initiative is that learning which integrates technology into the classroom is more personalized, engaging and includes high quality curriculum materials, which are more readily available online.

Five Local Towns Ranked In Top 50 For Safety In NJ

committees, educational organizations, and charity groups I discovered was nothing short of impressive and undoubtedly helps foster a sense of respect and concern for neighbors thats imperative when fighting crime. Local police officers from the towns ranked in the Safewise Report recently commented on their ranking, their community safety and cohesiveness, initiatives and safety programs that they use as well as any forecasted improvements. To be ranked number four out of hundreds of communities is quite an accomplishment achieved by Washington Twp. It is not surprising, because we have very dedicated, hardworking officers that care about this community, says Police Chief Michael Bailey of Washington Township Police Dept. We just focus on good old fashion patrol tactics, staying alert and vigilant. I am just proud for the township and the police officers, who work so hard to make this community so safe, and we will continue to work in hopes to make people feel safe in this not so safe world. In comparing Washington Twp. to other communities, Bailey says the Washington Township Police department and the residents of Washington Township have a great relationship of trust. They realize they need us and we realize that without their help it makes our jobs a lot harder. The support by the residents is what drives our officers to serve. Some security programs the Washington Twp. police department offers include house checks, senior citizen assistance, education to the schools and residents, and we are very proactive in patrolling the township developments and businesses, says Bailey. He agrees that community cohesiveness has helped with crime stopping methods in Washington. Due to the size of Washington Township and the number of officers we can not be everywhere all the time, says Bailey. We rely heavily on the residents to give us information. Once we have that information we can take the appropriate course of action. Bailey gave examples such as when one of his officers was patrolling a neighborhood and he noticed heavy smoke emanating from a home. He made entry and found that the furnace was not working properly and filling the house with smoke. No resident was home at the time. They turned off the furnace, contacted the fire department and the homeowner and saved the house from burning. Another example was a sting of calls from residents in the area that involved a bunch of car burglaries. Each of the residents had a little information to add to what they saw and when all that information was compiled it led us to a vehicle and subsequently an arrest,
By Cheryl Conway ood schools and quiet neighborhoods are attractive qualities in many towns in Morris County, but to be labeled as one of the safest in the state takes hard work, dedication and community cohesiveness, according to some local police chiefs. A recent study conducted by Safewise security organization identified five local towns as one of the top 50 Safest Communities in New Jersey. The Safewise Report reveals that Washington, Morris, Randolph, Mt. Olive and Roxbury townships are among the top 50 out of hundreds of communities throughout the state. To compile the report, the communityfocused security organization used the most recent FBI crime data from 2011, population, safety initiatives, security programs implemented within the past few years and other ranking factors. It then ranked the communities based on criteria met. According to the list, Washington Twp. was ranked fourth; Morris Twp., 18; Randolph Twp., 21; Mt. Olive Twp., 24; and Roxbury Twp., 42. From relaxed rural countrysides to fastpaced city living, the 50 safest communities in New Jersey share one critical, crime stopping characteristic: community cohesiveness, says SafeWise Security Analyst Alexia Chianis. The vast assortment of community
says Bailey. With out the help from all of these residents we might still be trying to solve this case. Even ranked fourth, there is always room for improvement. The goal is always to be number one. We will continue to work hard with the residents to achieve that goal, says Bailey. I think the more we educate the community the better off we will be, says Bailey. I believe that we have to encourage them to call us even if they do not think the information they have is significant; when it is added to what we already have it becomes significant, and I believe you have to treat people with respect if you want to gain their respect. With the respect from each other you build trust, and that makes for a good working relationship. Morris Township Ranked 18 out of the top 50, Morris Twp. Police Chief John McGuinness notes the reduction in burglaries and the development of a proactive Crime Prevention Unit as key factors in Morris Townships recent ranking. I have been a police officer for just over 30 years, says McGuinness. When I started my career we averaged about one home burglary a day. Today and over the years we are proud to have reduced that number to typicalcontinued on page 14

A car or light truck needs 8 to 12 inches of clear ice to be safe. * Be aware of cracks or fissures in the ice. Be extremely cautious crossing ice near river mouths, points of land, islands, and springs. Currents can cause ice to be thinner in these areas. * Carry a safety line. Such lines can be thrown to someone who has fallen through the ice. This may be the best method of pulling someone to safety. * Remain calm if you fall through the ice. Avoid thrashing, which can use up energy and body heat. Try to keep your head and face above the water. The body will react to the plunge by going into "cold shock," a condition characterized by hyperventilation, involuntary gasping and internal responses including hypertension (high blood pressure) and changes in pulse rate. You do have time to get out. Many people can last two to five minutes in cold water before strength and coordination are compromised. Try to normalize your breathing to ensure you get enough oxygen to react and get to safety. Concentrate on breathing slowly and steadily. Kick your feet and pull yourself out of the water at the strongest edge of the ice. Try to roll up onto
nglers, skaters and outdoor enthusiasts often take to the great outdoors when lakes and other bodies of water freeze. But even after days of below-freezing temperatures, lakes may not be solid, increasing the risk that revelers will fall through the ice, possibly resulting in drowning or hypothermia. As a result, it is imperative that safety precautions be taken when spending time on frozen lakes. Though it can be fun to skate or fish on a frozen lake, ice is never safe and it's always in one's best interest to treat ice with caution. Ice strength depends on various factors, including daily temperature, water depth, water chemistry, currents, and distribution of the load on the ice. It is impossible to judge the thickness of the ice by appearance alone. Your best bet is to proceed with caution and follow these tips for survival. * Be prepared for any scenario. Prepare for the possibility of a plunge. Carry a long metal or metal-tipped wood pole, called a spud bar, which can be used to test the strength of areas of ice you are unsure about. The bar also can be used as a walking stick. Carry safety spikes to provide traction if you fall through and need to climb up onto the ice. * Avoid crossing frozen bodies of water in a single file, as it may stress the ice. Also, never venture out alone. Always go with a partner or alert someone to your whereabouts. * Always wear a life jacket. Life jackets act as flotation
the ice, staying flat to distribute your body weight. Roll yourself away from the hole into which you fell and remain on your hands and knees until you crawl several feet away. Only then should you stand up and walk to safety to get dry and warm. Spending time on a frozen lake can be fun, but it's also risky. Knowing how to react in an emergency situation may just save a life.

continued from page 12 ly less than 30. Also noted was the reduction in Morris Townships violent crime index from 60 incidents in 2011 to 15 in 2012, says McGuinness. Most of our township residents live in a neighborhood that are organized or have developed a sense of community that allows the police department to have an unfiltered means to communicate to our residents, says McGuinness. Communication is a key component between the police and the community. We use Email blast directed to our neighborhood watch group captains, Nixel Alerts, the Township Messenger and NEW web page to keep residents informed and provide an avenue for our citizens to talk to us. For security, Morris Twp. uses Neighborhood Watch with about 35 groups, as well as community outreach programs. I have met with our senior citizen, church groups and neighborhood to address concerns from traffic safety to lottery frauds, says McGuinness. On Dec. 18, a resident in a Neighborhood Watch area observed three suspicious males she did not recognize, describes McGuinness. She called 911 right away and when the patrol officers arrived they began to check homes and found a burglary in progress. Three suspects were arrested.
While improvements are always needed, funding is a key factor in moving forward. Like any community if we could increase the funding for public safety, McGuinnes says there could be improvements. The township works extremely well within the fiscal constraints of the State of New Jersey to provide the residents with the best means to protect our community. Police, Fire and EMS could provide a wish list of equipment to purchase or personnel to hire. Until then, McGuinness says the goals of making Morris Twp. an even safer place to live is to Continue to grow our communications network with the community members; continue to take advantage and explore opportunities to train our police in the best manner possible; and access the best technology available to keep our community safe. Randolph Township Listed not too far below Morris Twp. is Randolph Twp., which was ranked 21. I was happy but not surprised to have learned of our ranking, says Chief of Police David Stokoe of Randolph Twp. Police Department. Randolph Township is a great place to both live and work and our police department works very hard every day to provide the best police services to our community. We are a very service oriented police department and we enjoy working with the community as a whole. Stokoe points out that Randolph is situat-
ed in the heart of Morris County which has one of the highest quality of life standards in the state. Randolph Township is an extension of Morris County and is situated in a great area which correlates into having a safer Township. Stokoe says, We are a very service oriented police department that is attentive to the needs and concerns of our residents. We place a great emphasis on responding to any/all calls for service that we receive from our residents regardless of whether or not they are what we believe to be law enforcement matters. We will always look to assist the resident with their situation. When it comes to safety, we will attempt to assist our residents with security issues on a case by case basis given our available resources, says Stokoe. We also conduct business and property checks as part of our normal patrol related activities. In looking at the towns crime statistics, Stokoe reports that the last homicide was in 2011. We are always extremely low if any for rapes, robberies and arson incidents. However, occasionally we will experience them as well. Each year we do experience some burglary incidents which run fairly consistent year to year. Community cohesiveness definitely plays a role in Randolph in maintaining safety. Having a close knit community means that people care about the community, one
another and what happens, says Stokoe. This equates into people being more likely to watch out for each other and to work with the police which makes for a safer environment for everyone. As far as improvement, Stokoe says I would like to see residents report suspicious incidents, individuals and activity immediately as it is occurring. This affords the police department with the best opportunity to positively resolve the incident. All too often residents wait until well after the incident or activity occurred or until the following day to report the incident which significantly reduces our ability to resolve the matter. The Randolph Police Dept. is also working very hard to increase our current staffing levels, says Stokoe. For a number of different reasons, including economic, the police department was operating at 28 sworn officers in 2013. Currently, it has 32 sworn officers on the force, with two additional officers scheduled to join in February. We will continue our efforts as our goal is to reach 36 officers in 2014, says Stokoe. Additional officers will allow us to increase our patrol and service related activities. Mount Olive Township To be ranked in the top 25 for safest communities in NJ is something to be proud. "I was pleased but not surprised to hear we were listed in the top 25 safest communities continued on next page
Like us on facebook www.facebook.com/mypaperonline Tell Them You Saw It In The Roxbury News, February 2014, Page 15 continued from previous page were listed in the top 25 safest communities in New Jersey, says Mt. Olive Police Chief Mark Spitzer. We have been working hard at making a difference and I think we are being very effective." Spitzer commends his patrol and investigative divisions in helping to lower the townships crime rate. "I think key efforts that are impacting our lower crime rate are the way our Patrol Division thoroughly tours the township in combination with expert follow up investigative efforts our Investigative Division delivers, says Spitzer. Lieutenant John Glinko heads the Patrol Division, and as part of his command he assures that patrols focus on the Directed Patrol List (DPL) which concentrates the officer's attention towards predetermined problem areas for daily observation. The DPL has been effective towards reducing crime, traffic issues, and other quality of life issues in areas that have been identified by previous crimes and intelligence information. Our patrol officers take it personally when something happens in the town, says Spitzer. They make every effort to deter crimes, to follow up on crimes that do occur with professional investigations. Our Investigation Division, led by Detective Lieutenant Dunn, is also a big part of keeping Mt. Olive safe and each of the detectives is equally disappointed when safety is threatened." One security measure in town, that helps to defend vacationing home owners from burglaries, is the Mt. Olive Vacant Home Check program. Burglars often target victims while they are away on vacation or away for some other reason, like a family member's funeral. In the event a resident knows they are going to be away for a period of time they can register with the police department by going towww.mopd.org and looking for the vacant home registry. That will add the resident to the DPL and will direct officers throughout the day to check on the residence when available. The web page has proved to be a useful communications tool in assisting the community." In Feb. 2013, the MOPD received State Accreditation status by the New Jersey State Association of Chiefs of Police (NJSACOP), after the department was tested and measured for two years for its "best practices" as delineated by NJSACOP's Accreditation Program. The program further illustrates our commitment as a police agency towards a positive culture; one that works collaboratively with our partners in the community, says Spitzer. We were also awarded National Recognition by the Commission on Accreditation for Law Enforcement Agencies (CALEA)." Spitzer says, "I believe we do have a strong "Community Cohesiveness" and I think that sentiment emanates from many places. The police department is only a part of that unification. Certainly, our town government has adopted a very service-oriented
Safety In NJ...
approach and Mayor Greenbaum is extremely responsive to suggestions and requests from the residents. Our Business Administrator shares that sentiment and strongly advocates a desire to be accountable; the Township Council shares this concern for safety and service. The attitude is becoming more and more the culture of Mt. Olive. Additionally and sadly, over the last several years we have seen our share of tragedies in the community, continues Spitzer. The way the community has responded, and in a large part, the manner in which the families who suffered losses themselves have responded, has brought us together all the more as a community. Hurricane Sandy is another recent challenge that strengthened us as a community." Like other communities, Mt. Olive strives to be even better and safer. "I think that one issue that is still plaguing us is the drug problem, says Spitzer. It is not contained to Mt. Olive alone but seems rather to be nationally epidemic. We continue to see the abuse of prescription drugs. When the demands for more pills increase and addiction worsens and prescription abuse becomes financially impossible, we see heroin being used as a substitute. Addiction issues lead to increased property crimes like burglary and thefts; it also increases violent crime as well. As a case in point, the subject arrested and convicted for robbing the bank in Budd Lake, as well as other banks in the area, blamed heroin addiction for his actions." As far as goals to seek improvement, Spitzer says, "Our initiatives remain the same, and that is to best identify what is causing crime and attack that specifically; all while continuing to determine probable areas where crime is most likely to occur and being there to deter, interrupt or arrest those who commit it." Roxbury Township Ranked 42 out of the top 50, Roxbury Police Chief James Simonetti is pleased with the townships accomplishment. I was proud of the accomplishments and successes of all the contributors in our Township, who strived to make our community a safe one, says Simonetti. My mind then shifted to think of ways to improve our efforts in combating crime in our community and ways to challenge ourselves so we can achieve a higher ranking. Compared to other communities, Simonetti says in Roxbury Our officers are empowered to be creative and take crime that occurs in their assigned area personally. We also have great support from our Mayor, Council and the Township Manager. They provide us with the latest technology and equipment to keep the department in the forefront of crime prevention and enforcement. As far as statistics, in Roxbury the violent crime (Murder, Rape, Robbery and Aggravated Assault) per 1,000 residents remained at .4 percent; its nonviolent crime rate (Burglary, Larceny and Motor Vehicle continued on next page
Safety In NJ...
continued from previous page 1,000 residents. Although final numbers are not in from the NJ State Police, Simonetti says he believes we have lowered our crime rate. For unique safety initiatives offered to its community, Roxburys Detective Division had started an initiative to target suspected individuals that were pawning stolen property at locations that purchase gold and precious metals. They teamed up with adjoining towns, Hopatcong and Mt. Arlington, to create an informal task force, describes Simonetti. They quickly found the association between our current drug epidemic and our nonviolent crime, says Simonetti. The suspects that are breaking into homes, cars and committing thefts are the same individuals selling prescription drugs and illegal narcotics in our area. In less than a year, they arrested over 100 individuals and our Burglary rate dropped 2.2 percent, our Thefts dropped 18.3 percent and our auto theft dropped 40 percent. For security programs, Roxbury police offer a Community Service Unit to provide information to senior high school students regarding recent crime trends and methods being used to commit crimes. We have an active relationship with our schools to provide a unified approach on keeping our children safe. Some
of the special programs that we offer are Every 15 Minutes and Alive at 25 to our new drivers. If you are a victim of a crime we offer a crime survey and analysis to make recommendations to make improvements so that you make it harder for the criminal, explains Simonetti. Like the other safest towns, community cohesiveness shines in Roxbury. Our officers are involved in our community and our community is responsive and active in providing the information we need to improve our approach, says Simonetti. We have teamed up with our schools and communicate regularly with them. Our officers assist in coaching several sports in the school and build those critical relationships with the students. In addition, Roxbury Twp. has many safe places available for the youth, which include a very active library with many programs, before and after school care, a huge youth recreation program, the Recreation Complex and the Imagination Station Playground. All these facilities and programs offer and support a safe environment for our children, says Simonetti. Many of these programs would not be possible without the volunteers who run them. Just in our recreation program alone there are over 300 volunteers.
The community gives back and because of that we have residents that are vested in their community. They go above and beyond to make this a safe and positive learning environment for our children. The police department gives back to the community as well. The Roxbury Police Dept. has a special program in association with the PBA 311 known as COPS CARE. Active for eight years, this program has given $130,000 to needy families through fundraisers, such as whiffle ball tournaments, Flag Football vs. Roxbury Teachers, and other programs geared toward creating a bond between the community and police officers. Recently, the Roxbury PBA had a Veteran Appreciation Night and raised more than $15,000 that was donated to local veterans and programs for veterans. This is another example and bond that was initiated and developed by our officers and it is this bond that keeps the officers and community so strongly unified, says Simonetti. Roxburys approach has been recognized by national organizations like Americas Promise Alliance 100 Best Communities for Young People in 2011. This was a great achievement and was because of the cohesiveness and teamwork of all of the employees and residents in our community. In 2013, Roxbury Township Parks were
ranked 13th nationwide by Coca-Cola National Park Contest. These achievements could not have been accomplished without the cohesiveness of our community, says Simonetti. As far as improvement, Simonetti says I believe that if we continue our goals of increased community involvement we can improve our approach in fighting crime. The cost of technology has dropped dramatically compared to years ago and the ability to have your home or business alarmed and a camera system installed will provide the police department with evidence needed to solve your crime. Simonetti says the goals of the Roxbury police dept. is to continue to improve on the communication between our residents and our department. An informed citizen is better equipped to protect themselves against crime. We implemented our Facebook page and it was greatly received by our residents and followers. The Township also has a Facebook page where all pertinent information regarding the town can be easily accessible. I want to build on that technology to provide information about crime trends and criminal activity to our community at a quicker pace. I want to also take this information and determine the best way to disseminate it to our residents who do not utilize the internet or technology.

Men Grow Beards To Raise Money For Mental Health Association
By Cheryl Conway aising money for a non-profit organization can get a bit hairy- but for some employees of a small software company, their fundraising profits, along with their beards, just kept growing. A marketing automation company, Signpost, sponsored a beard-growing fundraiser during the month of January and used social networking as its campaign tool to raise money for the Mental Health Association of Morris County. Called Manuary, the campaign was adapted from the traditional fundraiser Movember in which men grow mustaches to raise awareness on mens health issues. For the 45 participating employees, Manuary was an enlightening experience to those growing beards for the first time, learning about the MHAMC and using a cutting edge fundraising technique through social media. While raising money was the main goal, increasing awareness about mental illness was just as paramount. Mental illness has a bad stigma in the community, says Christopher DePatria, Signpost Vice President who initiated the fundraiser after witnessing how mental illness has affected one of his family members. Its more about the awareness. If we get 500 people to donate, its all about the cause. Fifteen people in Denver, 15 people in Austin raising money for Morris County (MHA) which is pretty cool. Theyre all raising money and they are all supportive. With Signpost having offices in three major cities, New York, Denver and Austin, DePatria has been able to spread the word about mental illness and the importance of the MHAMC. With employees then spreading their cause through social media such as Facebook, twitter and linked in, the campaign grew even larger than ever anticipated. After one month, participants had raised more than $10,000, twice the companys goal. DePatria, 31, of Hoboken, immediately surpassed his individual $1,000 goal. I got that just four hours of posting it, says DePatria, who works in the NY office. He received donations from $10 to $300 from more than 98 people, raising $6,356 from his own posts. DePatria decided to organize the fundraiser for the MHAMC after attending its charity golf outing in Sept. 2013. He wanted to help the organization generate greater awareness of the struggles of those with severe, persistent mental illness and the effect it has on the person, the family and the community. He brought the Manuary idea to his company in early Dec. 2013. DePatrias older brother who lives in Dover suffers from bipolar and schizophrenia. Their mother, who has been a volunteer with MHAMC, introduced them to the
organization. I realized how far a dollar can go, says DePatria. For me it was to raise money in a new unique way. It was all through social media. Rather than a dinner or golf outing, how about a more current fundraiser using social media? I thought it was a fun idea for guys to grow beards for the winter. So on Jan. 1, participating employees of Signpost shaved clean their beards and were not allowed to shave for an entire month. They then posted beards on Facebook and other social media networks to campaign for their cause. Out of its 100 employees, 45 of the male employees signed up. Throughout the month, they posted weekly updated pictures on Facebook of their growing beards and dollars raised. In less than a week of its launch, the campaign received more than 125 donations totaling over $5,000. Total monies raised as of press time reached $10,855, with 100 percent of the proceeds going to the MHAMC. At the end of the campaign, female employees served as judges to award beargrowing employees with recognition, trophies and gift cards in categories such as Manimal Beard, Best in Show, Most Improved Beard, Longest Beard, Should Shave Immediately Beard. DePatria liked the idea of growing a beard because he says Its just something recognizable and visible. During the month, when people came into the company to visit or interview, they could see that everyone in the company has a beard. Its very visible. Its reason to talk about it. Talking about his brothers disease had been hard for DePatria, he admits, but after learning about MHAMC he felt that raising awareness can only help people like his brother who do suffer from mental illness and are in need of services. DePatria says his brother, who is 33 years old, did not have any signs of illness in high school. His symptoms developed in college when he was 20 years old. It took years to be diagnosed, says DePatria about his brother. He realized college was too tough for him. Hes an intelligent, good hearted guy who just cant function on a full-time basis. Hes a smart guy, especially with computers, but cant hold a full-time job. He suffers from social anxiety, acts differently each day and on some days is lacking the mental capacity to work. He needs money from the government to survive, says DePatria. The tone of the event may be light hearted and humorous, but the purpose is real and serious: to raise awareness of mental illness and how MHAMC and its many programs are necessary to provide the help that is so needed for this population, says DePatria.

ness receive medical treatment within a 12-month period. There is hope and possibility of recovery for people with mental illnesses provided they accept therapeutic care, says Lou Schwarcz, President and Chief Executive Officer of MHAMC. We at the MHAMC promote this recovery through our many programs and services. While the MHAMC is no stranger to fundraising events and receiving donations from companies, the organization applauds the efforts of Signpost and hopes it serves as a platform for other companies to help raise awareness and provide financial support. Im excited and amazed that these people are doing this, says Barb Flynn, Director of Development at MHAMC. They are young, and are an amazing social media company raising money through technology, through social media platforms. They are using their friends. Thats just great. Flynn mentions the huge stigma placed on families who feel self conscious about confronting the issues of mental illness with others. For DePatria to be willing to talk about mental illness with his company and his company to be altruistic enough, especially in three cities, to talk about the stigma of mental illness- its a model, to be creative on ways to do it and to make it fun; the camaraderie. Here they are doing this wonderful thing and its fun and its really going to help people who deserve some help. Founded in 2010, Signpost is an internet start-up company that helps small to medium businesses advertise and attract customers through the internet and on-line advertising.
