By Cheryl ConwayWith his retirement date fast approaching, the prin-cipal of the Brookdale Avenue Elementary Schoolin Verona is facing some mixed emotions as he
steps away from his lifelong career.Richard Rampolla has spent 40 years working in the
Verona School district, starting out as a teacher and finishinghis last 15 years as principal at Brookdale elementary. He an-nounced his retirement in Jan. 2016 and will help transitionthe newly hired principal, Nicole Stuto, through the end ofJune.To celebrate and recognize his retirement, a recent recep-
tion was held at the Essex Fells Country Club and a retirementparty was held Fri., June 3, at the Barnyard in Totowa. “Now that it’s getting close, it’s feeling very strange step-
ping away from something that I’ve loved so much for somany years,” says Rampolla. “I’m incredibly fortunate tohave spent my entire career in the Verona public schools.”Rampolla began his career in the Verona School district
in 1975 when he was hired as a fifth grade teacher at F.N.Brown School. Teaching was a career path he decided to ex-plore while enrolled in college as a liberal arts major.
Luckiest Principal In The World Retires From Education After 40 Years“I started doing volunteer workwith children,” for a recre-
ation program while in college, explains Rampolla. His vol-unteering consisted of helping underprivileged kids with artsand crafts and reading. “I enjoyed it,” says Rampolla and “kids enjoyed working
with me and it all changed from there,” as he switched out ofliberal arts to focus on a degree in education. He earned histeaching degree from William Paterson and a degree in ad-ministration fromMontclair State University.When fifth grade moved over to the H.B. Whitehorne
Middle School in 1995, Rampolla merged too and stayed onas a fifth grade teacher until he became assistant principal atthe middle school, a role he served for three years.In 2001, Rampolla was appointed to principal at Brook-
dale elementary school.After seeing what it was like being assistant principal,
Rampolla says he was ready to take on responsibilities atBrookdale.One of four elementary schools, “We’ve always been the
smallest of the elementary schools in Verona,” says Ram-polla. With currently 114 students in grades kindergartenthrough fourth, enrollment has fluctuated over the years from110 to 150 students.Looking back at his career in the district, Rampolla says
“it’s all good memories.”At Brookdale, he enjoyed the Star Lab lessons, a portable
planetarium that provides a “mini astronomy lesson” to stu-dents in grades kindergarten through four. Constellations areprojected onto a dome so students can learn about the starsand various constellations from different cultures such asGreek, Native American and Chinese. In fifth grade, he mostly enjoyed coordinating and attend-
ing environmental trips to Stokes State Forest in SussexCounty.“I always enjoyed the opportunity to teach,” he says,
“while working with teachers and helping them develop theirskills.”Staying in the Verona School district for four decades has
been appealing to Rampolla as “I’ve enjoyed being able tosee so many of my former students grow up and be success-ful” and seeing former students’ children grow up at Brook-dale. Four current students at Brookdale are children ofparents that he taught years ago. Rampolla gave his notice in Jan. as he wanted to allow
enough time for the board to find a candidate and also helpto transition the incoming principal, he says. Rampolla startedin June to meet with his replacement, Stuto, to put her “in a
good place,” when he leaves. Deciding it was time to retire, “was a difficult decision but
I felt it was the right time,” says Rampolla. “As much as Ilove this job, it was the right time to step away from it.” While “change is a necessary part in the education
process,” Rampolla admits that changes are often a challengeto keep up with. “It’s been a little difficult to keep up with allof it,” he says.As he retires, Rampolla is “exploring options outside of
education,” he says. He is looking forward to having someshared vacation time with his wife, Danusia, who works as alearning consultant in the Livingston Public Schools.School leaders tip their hat to the longtime
administrator/educator for a job well done.John Quattrocchi, president of the Verona Board of Edu-
cation says, “Mr. Rampolla has had a long and successful ca-reer in Verona. He has served in many capacities over hisyears, culminating with the leadership of Brookdale AvenueSchool. Our school community has the upmost respect andregard for his work, his leadership, and the impact he has hadon the students he interacted with. After so many years, there

By Maryanne Christiano-MistrettaThousands of people fled towards the gates of TurtleBack Zoo, West Orange, on Sat., June 4, for the 14thAnnual Essex County Open House.
There was live music, clowns, carnival games, treasurechests, giveaways, prize wheels and trivia tests, providing ex-citing entertainment for children as their parents gatheredaround more than 10 information tables that provided infor-mation about public awareness programs and services pro-vided by Essex County. Directors and employees were onhand to answer questions. It was a great way for EssexCounty residents to meet the people who work for theircounty. The Open House included free admission to the zoo,
which features: a mini-golf safari miniature golf course, sealions, sting rays and sharks in a touch tank, a state-of-the-artreptile and education building, jaguars, snow leopards, Gib-bon apes, wolves, otters, alligators, reptiles, and bears. Thereis also a beautiful gift shop. Essex County Executive Joseph DiVincenzo, Jr., said,
“We’ve done this for fourteen years. We’re here to socializeand network for Essex County. And it’s an opportunity to seethe zoo for free.” According to DiVincenzo, last year therewere 16,000 people in attendance. He said, “We’re hoping tohit 20,000 today.” This event was formerly held at a small setting in the Hall
of Records, according to Anthony Puglisi, Public Informationdirector. But the zoo can accommodate a lot more people. Puglisi said, “Not many people know about what the
county government does and how it affects their life. It’s in-formational and we try to make it fun.” Claudette Hampton, case manager and nurse at Essex
County Special Child Health Services said, “We’re here toeducate the public about community health and special childservices. And [for the public to] know about various resourcesin Essex County.” Other Essex County tables exhibits included: Paper Mill
Playhouse, Family Wrap, New Jersey’s Early InterventionSystem, Essex County Juvenile Detention Center, New JerseyMental Health Cares, OACANP (The Oranges ACA Naviga-tor Project), and Essex County Vocational Technical Schools.Attendees were able to enjoy the new giraffe exhibit which
just opened up, as well as the recently opened bison exhibitwith a new viewing area to get up close and look into. Puglisisaid, “Before there was a split rail fence. You couldn’t getclose to the animals.” The prairie dog exhibit will also be upgraded. Puglisi said,
“We’re changing the way the public views so you get moreof a clear picture; before it was a high glass wall.” A lion ex-hibit is also in the works.In addition to the new animal exhibits and developments,
the café expanded to two stories, which triples the capacity

People Flock To Turtle Back Zoo For Open House
of what it was before. “It will help with crowds,” said Puglisi.“Improvements enhance the area for the public.” According to DiVincenzo, “NJ Monthly” magazine
named Turtle Back Zoo the best zoo in New Jersey the lastfour years. And the zoo has always been awarded with a Cer-tificate of Excellence in the last three years. For more information on Essex County, visit www.essex-

By Anastasia MarcheseThe Jack and Jill chapter of Northern New Jersey cele-brated a milestone anniversary last month. The groupis one of the oldest chapters in NJ and the oldest one
in this part of the state.The group was privileged to come together with past and
current members to commemorate such a rich history of com-munity involvement. Previous presidents were honored fortheir contribution to the chapter’s ongoing legacy along withnewly elected president, Monique Moore Pryor.The Jack and Jill of America organization dates its begin-
nings to a meeting of 20 mothers that was held in Philadelphiaon Jan. 24, 1938 under the leadership of Marion StubbsThomas. She instituted the meeting to discuss the possibilityof starting an organization “to provide social, cultural, andeducational opportunities for youth between the ages of twoand nineteen.” According the organization’s national website, there are
now more than 230 chapters in the U.S., with more than40,000 family members participating currently. “Each chapterplans annual programming activities guided under a nationaltheme.” “The Power to Make a Difference” is the current“National Programmatic Thrust [that] focuses on initiativesthat will equip our members and youth with the power tomake a difference in our chapters, communities and in thelives of children around the country.”There is a structure to each chapter and the children are
broken up by age category for local as well as for chapterwide events. Group one is ages two through five; group two,first and second graders; group three, third and fourth grade;preteen group, fifth and sixth graders; junior teen, seventhand eighth; and senior teens, high school students in gradesnine through 12. When a mother joins the group, her childrenautomatically become part of the program and can take partin the programs designed for their age group.According to Erica Brown Oliver, the editor of North Jer-
sey’s bimonthly newsletter, “The Spotlight,” the converse isalso true, “Once your youngest child graduates from highschool, you graduate out of the program.” Mothers whose children are no longer school aged then
become Associate members, and are invited to take part inthe chapter’s big events, such as the 65th Anniversary Teathat was held in May at the Essex County Country Club inWest Orange. Associate members will also come together throughout
the year to renew the bonds of friendship that grew duringtheir time as members of the organization. There is a lot ofplanning and work that goes into making it the “Mighty”North Jersey Chapter. Working closely with other moms,members share the responsibility of planning a month’s ac-tivities for the group in which they have children. Brown Oliver and another mom were in charge of plan-
ning the activities for the group that her daughter is part of.“We took October and did a two hour fencing lesson with the
kids. It was a great thing to do as a group.” They also learnedabout the history of fencing and its historical and continuedimportance.In addition to monthly activities for the groups, the chapter
also organizes chapter wide activities to which sister groupsare often also invited. Back in April, the chapter organized itsannual Skills Olympics, this year entitled “Power up with 21stCentury Skills.” A variety of speakers came to educate andprepare the children and inform parents as well. ShellWilliams, who is the Education Chair for the North JerseyChapter, organized the event which included “Phenomenalspeakers, facilitators, and workshops on technology, entre-preneurship, art, science and expressive communication.”In addition to educational programs for members and chil-
dren, the Jack and Jill organization has a commitment to com-munity service. Some groups visited the Montclair Inn inFebruary and March to play board games with the seniors andbuilt intergenerational relationships. The senior teens spentvolunteer hours helping at Christine’s Soup Kitchen at HolyTrinity Church in March. Fundraisers and other community service projects are a
cornerstone of the Jack and Jill mission.The North Jersey Chapter is grateful for its rich history as
well as its continued opportunity to serve the community. Tofind out more about the North Jersey Chapter, go towww.mightynorthjersey.com

By Jason Cohen In an effort to keep up with big box storesand online distributors, in April, VeronaTownship joined Vidoovy, an online
service that creates an informative videomap for municipalities to interact with peo-ple looking for information. Other towns thatuse this are Montclair, Bloomfield and WestOrange. On the left side of its website there is a
link “Visit the Verona Vidoovy Map.” Thistakes people to a page that features 10 loca-tions throughout Verona, each with its ownintroductory video.“Our goal overall that we have set for
ourselves is to divert five percent of the bigbox store and online purchases back to localbusinesses,” said Patrick Sutherland, the cre-ator of Vidoovy. “With the spending in a typ-ical big box store reaching into nine figures,five percent of those revenues would have abig impact for Verona and our other localbusiness communities. Reaching this goal
will take some time but we get a little closerwith every community we sign up and everyvideo we create.”According to its website, Vidoovy was
created to keep shopping local. It launchedin 2012 in West Orange and then expandedto Montclair and Bloomfield. Steven Neale, a member of the Depart-
ment of Community Services in the Town-ship of Verona, spoke to the “Verona News”about the new program. Neale explained thatthe idea originated with the township’s Sus-tainable Verona team and one of its goals thisyear is to focus on the community and howit can better engage residents and businesses. He said the team was approached by Vi-
doovy and after a couple meetings it wasbrought to the township because theythought it would be an asset to helpingVerona grow and showcase everything it hasto offer. “We believe that the key to a successful
and sustainable community lies within the
Verona Implements A New Map Service To Keep Residents Informed
business community as well,” Neale re-marked. “We want successful businesses thatcan keep people coming through town andkeep our own residents shopping and livinglocal. It’s better for the environment and itsbetter for our local economy which is a winfor everyone. The Vidoovy platform is inline with the township's goals of trying tofind new and innovative tools to better en-gage the community.”Sutherland reflected on the success of the
invention. He noted that between their videomaps and YouTube channel, they are gettingseveral thousand views per month.
He said he has had numerus anecdotesfrom small business clients who have hadnew customers learn about them from thevideos.“The craziest story has to be a mechanic
we did a video for getting a satellite phonecall from a soldier in Iraq who saw his videowhile searching for New Jersey mechanicsonline because his wife back here in NewJersey was having car trouble,” Sutherlandrecalled. “She came by with her car for re-pairs soon after the call. Now that's an ex-treme example of online video converting aprospect into a customer!”

“All our seniors have stories to tell, and our Legacies Writ-ing Contest provides our older adults with an incentive to pre-serve their memories, and create a living history,” EssexCounty Division of Senior Services Director Jaklyn DeVoresaid. “Writing enables our seniors to share their memorieswith friends and families, allows them to reminisce about oldtimes, and keeps their minds active. This is one of our mostpopular events because of the emotions and memories thatare evoked.”Irene Bilotti from Verona wrote “My Husband, the Un-
spoiled Brat,” which was selected as one of the winning sto-ries. Bilotti lovingly writes about her husband of 52 years,Pat. As their family was growing, he changed diapers, taughtreligious classes and organized Cub Scout activities. Whentheir children were grown and he had grandchildren, he tookthem for outings in Verona Park and, even today, continuesto drive his grandson Todd to Verona High School. When hisolder brother and sister needed care, he took attended to theirfinances, did grocery shopping and helped wherever he could.And when his wife wants peace and quiet to do her dailycrossword puzzle, he leaves her alone. “I love him, congrat-ulate him and respect him for all he has achieved and givento others, and can safely and convincingly say that he is def-initely an unspoiled brat,” she writes. Nancy Feigel from Short Hills wrote “My Aunt Rose,”
which received an honorable mention award. The story fo-
cuses on the free-spirited Aunt Rose and some of her exploits.She learned to play the piano by herself, made friends easilyand one night went with a group of friends to attend a partyat the beach without the permission of her parents – whichwas unheard of at the time. When she met her future husband,Harry, he was shy and was waiting for the results of the BarExam. When Harry learned he passed, Aunt Rose congratu-lated him. They began dating and she demanded that theymarry before the year ended, so they were wed on Dec. 31. “You don’t have to be a professional writer to participate
in our Senior Legacies Writing Contest. Our seniors are verytalented and they write from the heart,” Essex County Direc-tor of Citizen Services Anibal Ramos said. “Every year, I amimpressed with the emotion and quality of stories. I congrat-ulate every one for participating,” he added.Sponsored by the Essex County Division of Senior Serv-
ices, the Legacies Writing Contest was started in 1996 andwas part of a national contest which encouraged senior citi-zens to discover the joys of writing while sharing their storieswith others. Although the national contest was discontinuedin 1998, the Essex County Division of Senior Services con-tinued to sponsor the Legacies Writing Contest on a locallevel. Each of the winners’ stories are posted on the EssexCounty website on the Division of Senior Services webpageat www.essexcountynj.org.For more information, call 973-395-8375.

by Ashley BouwenseNicole Stuto will begin her role asBrookdale Avenue ElementarySchool principal Sept. 1, and she is
both honored and excited to join the newschool community. “Verona has a history of academic excel-
lence as well as a strong school culture,”Stuto said. “I look forward to working closelywith the staff, parents and students.”Stuto has a bachelor’s degree in psychol-
ogy with a concentration in elementary edu-cation from Villanova University. She earnedher Master of Arts in educational leadershipfrom Montclair State University.“I have always had a passion for working
with young children,” she explained. “Mymom was an elementary teacher for 40 years,so I was exposed to the profession at a youngage.” From coaching to cheerleading to direct-
ing summer camps, Stuto has had an array ofexperience working with children, which shesaid directed her to choose her career path inthe education field.Stuto currently serves as a K-5 instruc-
tional coach within the Wyckoff PublicSchool District. She primarily works in pro-fessional development, where she supportsteachers in their instructional practice and thedemands of district and state initiatives. Be-
fore serving in her current position, shetaught fourth and fifth grade in Wyckoff. Not only will Stuto have the responsibili-
ties of school principal for 122 projected stu-dents this fall, but she will also work in othercapacities, providing instructional literacycoaching and professional development tostaff during professional development daysand after school faculty and grade level meet-ings.Brookdale Avenue Elementary School re-
ceived 124 applicants for the principal posi-tion and, after a committee comprised ofbuilding principals, teachers and district leveladministrators narrowed the choices down tofive contenders, Stuto was the top pick. Shewas approved by the Board of EducationApril 26. “Mrs. Stuto consistently demonstrated
throughout the interview process her passionand high expectations for students, strongknowledge of instruction and pedagogy, acollaborative leadership style and an abilityto build positive relationships with students,parents and staff,” said Superintendent ofVerona Public Schools Rui M. Dionisio.“Mrs. Stuto comes to Verona with strong
credentials and a commitment to educationalexcellence,” he adds. “She is highly regardedas a respected educator who exhibits leader-ship in all decisions she makes in the best in-
terest of children. Her background in readingand writing workshop, as well as her experi-ence within the area of instructional coachingand technology infusion, makes Mrs. Stutoan excellent fit for Brookdale Avenue Schooland the Verona Public Schools.”With the ever-dynamic education environ-
ment, Stuto knows that schools are chal-lenged to prepare students to navigate withinthis technological age and, therefore, “It’snecessary to build a shared vision for the dis-trict and how students will be educated forthe 21st century,” she said. “As principal, the students are my first
concern, and I want to ensure that each childis given tools and the opportunity to succeed.Changes in education are inevitable, and itwill be my responsibility to continue to em-power teachers, encourage students and en-gage the community in the learning process.” Stuto has already had the opportunity to
attend Brookdale Avenue school events, likethe art show and band and chorus concerts.She will continue to attend events throughoutthe remainder of the school year. She said, “It has been great getting to
know the teachers and beginning to introducemyself to parents and students. I spent a daya Brookdale Avenue, where I was able to seethe daily workings of the building while vis-iting the students engaged in learning in their
classrooms. Mr. Rampolla has been an in-valuable resource, and he and I will continueto collaborate.” The district has provided a transition plan
for retiring Principal Richard Rampolla andStuto from May to June. “Everyone has been so welcoming over
the past month,” she said, “and it has beenwonderful getting to meet so many commu-nity members, especially the students. I lookforward to getting to know each and everystudent personally and develop relationshipswith them, as I hope to be an important partof their educational journey.”

By Lynn AdamoWhen Episcopal Church of the Holy Spirit openeddoors to its food pantry, organizers recognizedthere was a need, but had little idea how much
traffic to expect.“It was kind of a guessing game, the first one,” said the
Rev. Jerry A. Racioppi, Holy Spirit’s rector, “but it was muchlarger than we could’ve imagined.”Eighteen individuals visited April 23, the pantry’s inaugu-
ral date, with the same number, though different people, shop-ping Memorial Day weekend. “We thought we would’ve gotten more that day (May 28),
but have a feeling the holiday had something to do with it,”Racioppi concluded.Organizers are ready to welcome shoppers from Verona
and the surrounding area again from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m., Sat.,June 25, and encourage residents to continue contributions ofnon-perishable foods throughout the summer, when donationstypically lag.The pantry is realization of a three-year church dream, en-
visioned after parishioners learned of growing needs througha United Way study called ALICE, or Asset-Limited, Income-Constrained, Employed. ALICE represents the growing num-ber of working individuals and families who struggle to affordhousing, food, child care, health care and transportation, andHoly Spirit members wanted to create positive change for
their neighbors. Racioppi credits congregant Mary Garlandwith setting things in motion through a letter to the editor atthe start of the year, in which she shared her own family’sstory.“The traction we got from that really made the difference,”
he said.Confidentiality is key to the program’s success, Racioppi
said, and shoppers, as participants are called, are asked forjust two pieces of information- their ZIP code, and how theyheard about the pantry. Once provided, they then can shopfor much-needed items like non-perishable foods and priciersupplies like laundry detergent and toiletries.When needed, Holy Spirit’s organizers seek guidance
from leaders at St. Agnes’ Episcopal Church in Little Falls,where a food pantry has operated twice monthly since 2012.“We mirror our operation off of them,” Racioppi observed.
“They have a few years’ experience, and they’ve beentremendously helpful.”St. Agnes’ also promotes Holy Spirit’s pantry, which op-
erates on an off week from St. Agnes’, so participants haveaccess to needed items throughout the month. Holy Spirit de-cided on the fourth Saturday, dovetailing with St. Agnes’ firstand third Saturday schedule.“I sort of arbitrarily picked the second Saturday, but one
of our parishioners suggested considering the fourth Saturday,since end of the month is when people start really struggling
to stretch paychecks,” Racioppi said.Organizers expect numbers of participants to swell as
word of availability spreads through word of mouth, publicity,township publications and letters to residents.“The Verona Board of Education sent a letter, and it was
great to get that support,” Racioppi said.Food is available from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. on the fourth Sat-
urday of each month. If needs are pressing before a scheduledshopping date, residents can contact the church office at [email protected] or leave a voicemail at 973-239-2850 to make arrangements. The pantry is on the church’s

lower level at 36 Gould Street.Racioppi underscored the continual need
for non-perishable food items, toiletries andoccasionally for volunteers to stock shelvesand staff pick up days.
Two items the pantry doesn’t need:“Everyone thinks of pasta and soup, butwe’re well stocked with them,” he added.“Items that are really popular and go quicklyare laundry detergent, which can be a littlepricey, toiletries, paper towels, Saran and alu-minum foil.” Other unexpired non-perishable items can
be dropped in the 24-hour bin outside thechurch’s parking lot door. Needed items needinclude: canned fruit and individual fruitcups, pasta sauce, juice and juice boxes,snack packs for kids, chocolate milk in kid-size boxes, tea in small boxes (24 or 48counts), coffee, condiments, cooking oil,peanut butter and jelly, packaged milk (likeParmalat), canned cat and dog food, laundrydetergent, hand soap, shampoo, toiletries liketoothpaste, toothbrushes, deodorant, sham-
poo, soap, shaving cream; household clean-ers, bladder control pads, tampons/femininenapkins, Kosher salt and sea salt, aluminumfoil, Ziploc baggies, plastic wrap/Saran wrap,flour, sugar and rice specifically two-poundbags.Financial gifts are also needed to purchase
low-inventory items and are tax-deductible.In addition, volunteers are needed in a va-
riety of roles including: set up at 8 a.m. eachfourth Saturday; staffing the pantry at 9 a.m.to 1 p.m.; greeting shoppers when they arrive9 a.m. to 1 p.m.; clean up, 1 p.m. each fourthSaturday; publicity and fund-raising; organ-izing food donationsHoly Spirit members look forward to
growing partnerships with other organiza-tions, such as the Community FoodBank ofNJ, but that’s somewhere down the road.“We want to get through the fall and then
figure what’s next,” Racioppi added. “Thenwe can look ahead to Food Pantry 2.0.”To learn how to help, visit www.holyspir-
