parsippany focusDear Editor:

I am saddened to learn Beth Am will be selling their property.

I have had so many positive experiences throughout the years attending special Friday night services that featured M.L.K. Jr. remembrance programs and Holocaust-related speakers, Edwin Black, author IBM, and the Holocaust, and Harry L. Ettlinger, one of the Monument Men, a group of men given the task of reclaiming stolen artwork to their rightful owners. Harry, a Morris County resident, and I keep in contact and I will always cherish our conversations.

Thank you, to the congregation of Beth Am for opening your doors to the Parsippany community with the hope your Temple will continue with the enlightenment programs in your new home.

Roy Messmer
Former Parsippany Resident

What is Sweet and Heavenly that Makes Everything Better?
Like the classic dessert, this two-year-old Pit Bull mix is as sweet as can be

PARSIPPANY — What is sweet and heavenly that makes everything better? Sundae! Like the classic dessert, this two-year-old Pit Bull mix is as sweet as can be!

Sundae is a spunky, fun girl who will keep you on your toes. She would be great in a home with kids of 13 and up and she is also dog-friendly (males only).

Nothing makes Sundae happier than being in your company, specifically cuddled up in your arms

Nothing makes Sundae happier than being in your company, specifically cuddled up in your arms. She is a true love bug that will cover your face in kisses and make sure your lap is always warm!

She loves receiving any affection you have to offer and will return the favor in double! Sundae loves being active and playing.

Sundae is working on her house training and leash training in her foster home. She cannot live with cats. She does well in the crate but at night prefers to be in bed with you or in her doggy bed.

Sundae will certainly add some sweetness to your life.

If you are interested in adopting Sundae, please fill out an application by clicking here.

Matthew DeVitto Announces his Candidacy for Parsippany-Troy Hills Board of Education

PARSIPPANY — Parsippany Board of Education member Matthew DeVitto announces his candidacy for re-election to the board. Here is his statement:

My name is Matthew DeVitto and I am first on the ballot for re-election to the Board of Education.

I am a life-long New Jersey resident and has been a resident of Parsippany in the Lake Intervale section since December of 2014.

One of the reasons we moved to Parsippany was because we enjoyed living here previously in Lake Hiawatha and in addition, the good ratings of the township’s public schools.

My wife Christine and I have three children ages 14, nine, and nine attending the Township Schools.

I have had the honor of serving on the Board of Education for the past three years. During my term, I have served on the Transportation, Buildings and Grounds, Sports, Communications, Personnel, and Policy committees.

I have been a network engineer for 21 years with FIS Global, a financial services company. I feel today’s children need a good grasp of today’s modern technology to further many of today’s academic goals.

I am active in intramural sports in town coaching with the Parsippany Soccer Club and Par-Troy West Little League baseball. I do see the value of extracurricular activities to supplement our children’s academic education.

I am looking for your vote this election. #1 on the ballot, Matthew DeVitto for Parsippany Board of Education.
