By Kate Halse

As two Randolph Girl Scouts have learned, hardwork and dedication do pay off. Mary Herc recent-

ly earned the prestigious Girl Scout Gold Award

while Kelly O'Neill is currently working towards the same

goal.

In early August, Herc, who belongs to Randolph Girl

Scout Troop 1955, received her hard-earned award, which

is the top achievement one can earn in Girl Scouts.

There are many requirements in order to receive the

Gold Award. For example, the scouts need to first focus on

an issue within the community then demonstrate leadership

capabilities by making connections with various experts

and members of the community. The ultimate goal is to pro-mote a positive change in the community through action.

Herc's project idea began when she was volunteering at

Saint Claire's Hospital in Dover. During her time at the hos-

pital, Herc noticed that some children who came to the hos-

pital were visiting with a doctor for the first time. This

experience understandably made the children nervous as

they did not know what to expect.

In speaking with Patricia Hoskins, Director of Volunteer

Services at Saint Claire's, Herc devised a plan to help ease

the children's fears. To help them, she decided to write a

book in both English and Spanish. The goal of the book was

to help explain what might happen during a visit with thedoctor so that the children would know what to expect. The

book contains simple terms that the children can easily

understand. Herc's book is titled "Maria and Carlos Visit the

Doctor."

From start to finish, the book took several months to

complete. A good portion of the time was dedicated to

revising and tweaking the book for publishing. In anticipa-

tion of the number of children who would be reading the

books, Herc decided that each page should be laminated.

The finished product was handed out to Saint Claire's

own medical clinic and emergency room department.

By Kate Halse

In keeping with its plans to upgrade the

technology in its school system, the

school district took on a new project to

get the schools ready for returning studentsof all ages. One of the main benefits of the

school's new fiber optic network is faster

internet service.

Additional specifics and details of the

plan were provided by Superintendent

David M. Browne at the September 17

Board of Education meeting. During the

meeting, he noted that the project would not

have been possible without the generosity

and support of the Board members along

with the community as a whole.

In addition to providing a faster internet

service, the project also helped to enhance

the district's "Bring Your Own Device" ini-

tiative by saving money throughout the

year. The project was discussed in 2011 and

was planned just over a year ago.

Since the time it was planned last

September, the technology department in

the district helped to create the infrastruc-

ture for the project. Along the way, the

department received assistance from the

district's own building and grounds depart-

ment as well as support from the Board of

Education and the Randolph Township

Council and Department of Public Works.

After a year of hard work, the project was

completed just before students began the

new school year.

During the September meeting, Browne

praised the dedication and foresight of the

technology department as well as the build-

ings and ground workers. He noted that this

particular project will enable the Randolph

school district to "continue our mission to

create and maintain innovative and 21st

century programs in all six of our schools."

With the new technology, Browne contin-

ued, the district could expand its focus from

the youngest students to preparing those

who are getting ready to graduate high

school and begin working or applying to

colleges.

Faster internet throughout the school is

just one of the major benefits of the new

fiber optic system. The technology is much

more efficient and will help to save around

$160,000 annually. With the new fiber optic

cable running underground, the district now

has an underground internet hub for the first

time. Through the new technology,

Randolph High School, Randolph Middle

School, Center Grove, the Technology

Center, and Town Hall are all connected at a

rate that is around 1,000 times faster than

Randolph School District Installs New Fiber Optic Networkbefore.

For students, obvious benefits include

faster internet browsing and more efficient

use of time. Additionally, they can safely

and quickly back up valuable data and

information at the district's Tech Center.

Students will also be able to take part in

interactive streaming with other students

and classes at various colleges and universi-

ties.

Staff will have more options to choose

from when it comes to technology. For

example, they will be able to run standard

PowerPoint presentations and videos or use

various interactive and teaching programs

for students.

Aside from these added benefits, the

entire district will be able to enjoy enhanced

and uninterrupted communication, whether

it's from using many servers at once or a

natural disaster.

Randolph Girl Scouts...

Additionally, Herc gave two copies to the

El Primer Paso daycare center in Dover as

well as medical kits to give the children a

complete learning experience.

For Randolph resident Kelly O'Neill,who is 16, the decision to combine a love of

sports with the ability to help others came

naturally. O'Neill is working towards earn-

ing her Girl Scout Gold Award with her

project, which focuses on providing gently

used sports equipment to families in need.

O'Neill chose to support Let's Play It

Forward (LPIF), a non-profit organization.

She notes that although she is rather quiet

and shy, "I have been a part of sports teams

since I was 5 and excelling on the field has

helped me gain confidence and be part of

the team." O'Neill applies this same drive to

helping LPIF, an organization that was par-

ticularly appealing as it was started by peo-

ple around her age who had a strong desire

to help others. She also says that the support

she has received from her troop leader, Mrs.Thompson, is very much appreciated.

With a total of 700 items that have been

collected so far, O'Neill is on her way

towards her goal of collecting thousands of

items. In early October the Randolph high

school field hockey program helped to pro-

mote O'Neill's efforts by purchasing t-shirts

with the LPIF logo and inviting students to

bring in a gently used sports item. On

October 24, the team will be wearing the

same LPIF t-shirts to help raise awareness

among students as well as the community.

By Cheryl Conway

New Jersey residents do not have to

fear being lost anymore thanks to a

life saving program that can help

track wanderers in ample time.Project Lifesaver- a non-profit interna-

tional program- is now being offered in all

21 sheriffs offices throughout the state of

NJ. The Morris County Sheriffs Office was

the first NJ office to offer the program.

The program is offered to any adult or

child with a cognitive disorder or is at risk

of wandering. Registered clients and their

caregivers can feel more secure knowing

they can be found if they should lose their

way.

It is a great program because it saveslives, says Morris County Sheriff Edward

Rochford.

Its keeping people safe, says Sgt.

Denise Thornton, program coordinator of

Project Lifesaver through the Morris

County Sheriffs Office. Its a good, posi-

tive program. It not only keeps the client

safe, it gives the caregiver a piece of mind.

Clients who register for the program

wear a battery-operated transmitter on their

wrist or ankle that emits an individual track-

ing signal to its county sheriffs department.If a client goes missing, a caregiver needs to

call 911 to report that a person is missing. A

trained officer is then sent out with the

tracking device to locate the client.

Project Lifesaver was founded in 1998

by Chief Gene Saunders of the Chesapeake,Virginia Sheriff's Office. Saunders is noted

as an expert on electronic tracking of per-

sons at risk, and was a 2011 Presidential

Citizen's Medal nominee.

The program came to the Morris County

Sheriffs Office in 2003 for the elderly- and

2005 for juveniles- when Morris County

Sgt. Rob Alpaugh brought forth the infor-

mation and suggested that we look into it,

says Rochford. We liked that the program

dealt with identifying at risk persons who

may wander, which included locating miss-ing persons with dementia, Epilepsy,

Alzheimer's disease, autism, Down syn-

drome and other related illnesses.

Rochford says, We became the first

sheriff's office in New Jersey to start the

program. Subsequently I spoke to the other

20 sheriff's in New Jersey, showed them the

program, and all of them brought the pro-

gram into their respective agencies.

NJ is the only state in the nation to have

statewide Project Lifesaver coverage

through the volunteer efforts of the Sheriff'sAssociation of New Jersey.

Free Program in Morris County Tracks Missing ResidentsThis allows the caregiver to take their

loved one on a vacation to anywhere in New

Jersey for a vacation, such as Atlantic City,

says Rochford. We would notify the

Atlantic County Sheriff that one of ourclients would be in his jurisdiction and we

would give him complete information on

the client, and then we would give the care-

giver the phone number of the Atlantic

County Sheriff to call if their loved one

wandered.

The same procedure would also be fol-

lowed if the person visited anywhere in the

U.S.

Currently, 100 clients are registered for

Project Lifesaver through the MorrisCounty Sheriffs Office, says Thornton.

Ages of the residents vary from 5 years old

to those in their 80s. The program is

offered for free in Morris County at this

time. Not all sheriffs offices offer the pro-

gram at no cost to the client.

The Morris County Sheriffs Department is able to offer

the program for free thanks to grant programming through

Morris County and private donations, says Thornton.Changing batteries for each transmitter, visiting clients

homes and tracking devices can be costly.

According to Thornton, transmitters cost about $350

with battery replacements for each at $1 per month; cloth

bands are $1.20 each; and tracking devices can cost any-

where between $1,500 to $2,200. Morris County Sheriffs

Office currently has two tracking devices for the program.

Morris County has one of the most successful and

largest Project Lifesaver programs in the state, says

Thornton.

Every 30 to 60 days, the batteries on each transmitter

need to be replaced. Thats how we get this GPS to work,she says. We go and visit all these clients and we change

their batteries. We work with parents and caregivers on how

to do daily tests to make sure the device is working prop-

erly.

By visiting younger clients regularly, children learn to

not be afraid of the police which can also be beneficial,

explains Thornton.

In Morris County, seven officers are currently trained to

find clients with he tracking device, says Thornton. Three

or four more officers will be trained this year.

The tracking device works by picking up the frequency

of the transmitter of the missing client.

Project Lifesaver works by downsizing the amount of

time it takes to find a missing person, says Thornton.

Trained officers tend to find someone in less than 30 min-

utes through the program.

With the transmitter, a missing person can be foundwithin one mile on the ground and five to seven miles by

helicopter, says Thornton.

Weve not had one instance where the person cannot be

found, says Thornton. Morris County Sheriffs office had

one clear find this year, she says, out of about 15 inci-

dents that were reported through the Project Lifesaver pro-

gram in Morris County.

Police from local municipalities are typically on the

scene looking for the missing person before the county gets

there with the tracking device.

Weve been called several times, but the municipality

or caregiver found them first.But what if they are not able to find them so soon?

says Thornton. These are people with cognitive disorders

that are not able to communicate.

In order for the program to be successful, a client must

wear the device 24/7 and the battery must be changed, say

Thornton. Devices are the size of a watch. The client must

test the transmitter every day to make sure there is a blink-

ing light.

Caregivers love it, says Thornton. Its another safe

door for them. The program also allows elderly with cog-

nitive disorders to stay in their homes longer and be with

family rather than having to be placed in a nursing home.

Its another tool in the toolbox.

Morris County residents can sign up for Project

Lifesaver through the website Mcsheriff.org, and click on

the link for Project Lifesaver; or call Sgt. Thornton at 973-

285-6675.Private donations to support Project Lifesaver can be

sent to Morris County Sheriffs Office, Project Lifesaver,

P.O. Box 900, Morristown, NJ, 07963-0900.

Project Lifesaver International has more than 1,200 par-

ticipating agencies across the U.S., Canada, and Australia,

and has performed close to 2,700 searches in the last 13

years with no serious injuries or fatalities ever reported.

America, Crohn's disease is a chronic inflammato-ry condition of the gastrointestinal tract. Though

Crohn's disease belongs to a group of conditions known as

Inflammatory Bowel Diseases, or IBDs, it is not, despite

similar symptoms, the same thing as ulcerative colitis.

Symptoms of Crohn's disease can vary depending on the

individual, but some of the more common symptoms

include persistent diarrhea, rectal bleeding, urgent need to

move bowels, abdominal cramps and pain and constipation.

While diet and stress can aggravate Crohn's disease, the

causes of the disease remain unknown, though the CCFA

notes that recent research suggests hereditary and environ-

mental factors contribute to the development of the disease.

October is Breast Cancer Awareness month and

throught October 31st, Alfonso's Salon for the

fourth year in a row is joining the fight to defeat

breast cancer, the second leading cancer killer of women.

The salon is offering pink hair extensions to commemoratethe cause. The extensions are available in a shade of bright

pink for $12 each and in order to eliminate any bank fees

cash is required. There is also a limited supply of pink

feathers available. 100% of donations and profits for this

fundraiser will benifit the Susan G. Komen for the Cure.

"We are proud to help where we can to raise fumds to assist

research, increase awareness and promote screenings," says

Alfonso Merola, owner/stylist of Alfonso's Salon at Sutton

Plaza. "Breast Cancer affects so many families. I have seen

it touch the lives of many of my clients, and happily count

many as successful survivors of this disease, because of

early detection.".The Salon has received two awards for their efforts to

help defeat breast cancer.

The non-permanent extensions are a simple process and

it only takes minutes to apply, Alfonso reports. "We com-

press the pink extension into the hair without causing any

harm to the client's own hair. They look great on women of

all ages, from kids to seniors, with some customers gettin g

two or three at a time. They can be easily cut to any length

the client wants and will stay in as long as a moisturizing

shampoo or conditioner is not used on the root area.

Alfonso is particularly excited about working with

groups for this worthy fundraiser. Last year he was invitedto Morristown Medical Center to apply extensions to staff

during the shift change outside the caffeteria, and we are in

the process of setting up a schedule to do it again on mon-

days this Sept. Check our facebook page for the days and

hours.

Cheerleaders and sports groups from the local high

schools have also come in as a team to show their support.It's a fundraiser and a team building excerise all in one.

The salon will gladly eccept any donation even if cus-

tomers dont want to take advantage of the hair extension

services. A jar will be available at the front desk to anyone

wishing to help the fight for a cure. Donation jars can also

be found at Valentino's Pizzeria, Verizon Wireless store,

Wine Rack, Flanders Cleaners, Flanders Bagels, and

Mandrin Village, all located in the mall.

In business for 30 years, Alfonso's in a full service salon,

specializing in complete hair services such as color, cuts,

styling, and specialized smoothing systems such as Keratin

Straightening System and Keratin Express as well as permsand conditioning treatments. Manicures, pedicures, and

waxing services are also provided. Hair extensions come in

many varied colors and are done all year round.

Throughout his career, Alfonso has devoted his time to

the betterment of the hair industry. He has done shows and

demonstrations throughout New Jersey, has tought classes

By Michele Guttenberger VPof AAUW-NJ Communications

The American Association ofUniversity Women of NJ (AAUW-

NJ) has been a coalition member ofthe NJ Coalition Against HumanTrafficking since the start of its inception.President Sally Goodson sees AAUW-NJ asone of strongest coalition teams with anexpansive geographic range. They have 23branches that cover program communica-tion from as far as northern Sussex Countyto the Southern tip of New Jersey in AtlanticCounty. AAUW-NJ has focused on thefight against human trafficking and hasreceived an impact grant from their AAUWDC headquarters to continue on with their

campaign. Recently, twenty AAUW-NJvolunteers will be embarking on a campaignin Northern New Jersey.

In September AAUW-NJ took on anadditional task with a representation fromall their branches in Northern New Jerseywith attendance in training sessions held bythe Jewish Federation of Greater Metrowestin Whippany. They rallied their support forECPAT-USA (End Child Prostitution, ChildPornography and Trafficking) that held fourconference training sessions. The purposefor these conferences is to train leaders and

volunteers for a campaign outreach and signup mission with hotel managers throughout

New Jersey in anticipation of the 2014Football Super Bowl Game in Secaucus,New Jersey on February 2014. They willprepare to counter the rise in human traf-

ficking in the New Jersey area during thetime leading up to and including SuperBowl XLVIII. The Super Bowl brings any-where from 125,000 - 150,000 fans fromacross the nation and this influx of visitorsalso incites a demand for sex, leading traf-fickers to find easy exploitation of venera-ble troubled runaways and destitute minorsfor commercial sex work.

AAUW-NJ volunteers will become anoutreach canvassing force that will makethe initial contact with Hotel Managers intheir assigned areas. They will start the

dialogue to arrange Hotel policy adminis-trators to sign up to an ECPATs code toprotect children from prostitution.Companies, especially those in the tourismindustry, are often some of the first eye wit-nesses of these atrocities. Hotel manage-ment code participants will receive CodeTraining for themselves and their staff onhow to handle these situations. Their partic-ipation has become the most vital form ofcorporate social responsibility needed toend this crime against juveniles. The coali-tion hopes to get committed hotel adminis-

trators to attend Human TraffickingPreventions Training that is being offered

AAUW-NJ is Connecting with ECPAT-USAto Help Stop Super Ball Time Sex Trafficking of Children

for Hotel Managers on Saturday, November2, 2013 at Rutgers University Law Schoolin Newark, NJ.

Sally Goodson hopes to promoteactivism from the strong advocates theyhave in their Atlantic County AAUW-NJBranch to help with the Atlantic City CasinoHotels too.
