CCM Television Program Presents Second Season Highlighting the College

RANDOLPH — The Alex DeCroce Media Center at County College of Morris (CCM) is continuing the weekly production of a televised series of programs, under the new title “CCM: All Access” on Morris Educational Television (METV).

This program, originally titled “Spotlight: Morris County,” has been rebranded to reflect its focus on the people, programs, and activities going on at CCM.  “Many television shows change their image after the first season,” said Professor Julian Costa, who is executive producer of the series.  “What will remain the same will be our devotion to providing students with real-world production experience, as well as our goal of quality television programming for the residents of Morris County.”

Costa, who is an adjunct professor of business and communication at CCM, designed the program last year with the help of Joseph Schilp, associate director of the Media Center and Daniel Cleary, media engineer.  The entire production is a volunteer effort.

Among the student crew members is Jonathan Morales of Long Valley, a sophomore dual-majoring in biology and broadcasting arts and technology. “Though the show is primarily produced by students, there’s a sense of accomplishment that’s really invigorating after every episode, knowing that an audience will be able to watch what you and your crew members have created,” said Morales.

The show is hosted by Daniil Barkov of East Hanover, a sophomore majoring in business administration.  “The team and I are all very excited to get started on season two and getting the show to the amazing level we all want it be,” said Barkov.

“CCM: All Access” airs on METV, viewable on Channel 40 Fios and Channel 77 Optimum, at 9:00 a.m., 3:00 p.m., and again at 9:00 p.m. every Monday.  The first episode of the second season aired on Monday, October 29, and featured Tara Wuorinen, who manages the Rutgers at CCM program. Past shows can be found on the CCM YouTube channel by clicking here. To view Wuorinen’s interview click here.

Future guests of “CCM: All Access” include Bryan Lemme, assistant professor, Health and Science Exercise Department; Katie Olsen, executive director, CCM Foundation; Emmanuel Fotinis, Music major; Melanie Mitrano-Duffy, adjunct professor, Music; and Don Phelps, director of Campus Life.

Edenbridge Pharmaceuticals leases 18,500 square feet

PARSIPPANY — Cushman & Wakefield represented the landlord of The Offices at Fox Hill as Edenbridge Pharmaceuticals leased 18,500 square feet in the third transaction at the property since its repositioning.

Last year, Cushman & Wakefield arranged a 19,000-square-foot regional headquarters research and development lease with a medical devices firm at 169 Lackawanna Avenue. Prior to that, Cushman & Wakefield arranged a 60,000-square-foot headquarters lease with Tangoe, an IT expense management software provider at the property.

The 250,000-square-foot, Class A property — located at 169 Lackawanna Avenue — had the features, flexibility and amenities necessary to accommodate Edenbridge’s office and pharmaceutical space.Edenbridge Pharmaceuticals was represented by an Avison Young team of Thomas V. Giannone, Ronald J. Ganter and Edward M. English. Jr.

“The Offices at Fox Hill offers the infrastructure that these and other tenants seek, including robust power and HVAC infrastructure that enable them to accommodate a mixture of office, R&D lab and other space,” stated Parmelli. “The building’s modern image and rich amenities package are critical to attracting and retaining top talent, but the infrastructure also plays a key role in tenants’ decisions to take space here.” First-class mechanical systems and full back-up capabilities at The Offices at Fox Hill ensure comfort and continuity for modern enterprises.

“The facility stands out with a bright atrium, landscaped courtyard and other informal gathering spaces that enable employees to easily connect, collaborate and unwind,” noted Trevisan, “while the location offers easy access to roadways like Route 46 and Route 80.”

QuickChek Lake Hiawatha to close on Friday, November 2

PARSIPPANY — It’s official. Quick Chek, 480 North Beverwyck Road, will be closing its doors for good on Friday, November 2 at 11:00 p.m. Earlier this year they cut the hours from the normal 24 hour store to 5:00 a.m. to 11:00 p.m.

The Lake Hiawatha QuickChek opened in 1977 and has been a staple in the area for 41 years and will be missed by many. The Lake Hiawatha location was outdated compared to the newer millennial-friendly concept stores.

All store team members in the Lake Hiawatha store were transferred to or offered positions in other QuickChek store locations.

Hanover Township, on Route 10, Cedar Knolls on East Hanover Avenue are just two of the newer millennial-friendly concept stores to open locally in the past year.

QuickCheck has over 150 stores throughout New Jersey and New York has been expanding with its new “millennial-friendly concept.”

On Tuesday, October 2, a QuickChek convenience store and gas station opened at the Somerville Circle in Raritan. The Raritan location is the company’s sixth new store to open in the past eight months.

It offers a new design to meet the needs of today’s fast-casual shopper with more than 50 percent of the store dedicated to fresh food and beverages, according to the corporation. Most of the newer stores feature over 5,000 square feet and a full service gasoline station.
