Dear Editor:
To all people who live in Parsippany and surrounding areas. I would like to make people aware of this situation I encountered. Since I did not get any positive response from the management company I am informing the patrons not to shop in this strip mall.
On Tuesday, July 14 I had an appointment at Morristown Medical Cancer Center for a Chemo follow-up.
I was unable to drive the distance alone to the hospital so a friend helped me out. Since we were having lunch at Applebee’s anyway, I met her at the Applebee’s Restaurant on Route 46 at 8:30 a.m. for a 9:00 a.m. appointment in Morristown. We were back to Applebee’s eating lunch by 11:15 a.m. Which the manager can verify.
After lunch we were walking to Michael’s and the Dollar Store only to find out my car is gone. I called the Parsippany Police only to find out the car was towed by Basking Ridge Towing Company to Martin Luther King Blvd in Morristown. In order to get the car back I had to pay $160.00 in cash or check. (Which I didn’t have either) My friend paid it for me.
I could understand if the car was parked all day in the lot and didn’t patronize any of the stores, BUT that was not the case. There were many cars in the same area as mine as well.
I contacted the property management office in Maryland and explained the situation and they were to get back to me (after speaking with a woman who was on vacation) I made several attempts to speak with them and to no avail have an answer or a COURTESY call back to me.
Now it’s September and they did contact me and will not do anything about this.
I was so upset I contacted the Parsippany’s Mayor’s office and they directed me to write a letter to this newspaper. I am a good standing Morris County citizen who has been shopping at this Troy Hills Shopping Center for over 25 years. This incident which I feel I did nothing wrong has physically and mentally set me back.
I want people to know not to patronize this shopping center. I will never again shop there.

NEWARK – A Somerset County man who works as a high school teacher was charged today with soliciting a minor victim online to produce images of sexually explicit conduct in exchange for money, U.S. Attorney Paul J. Fishman announced.
David N. Adams, 29, of Branchburg, was charged by complaint with one count of online enticement of a minor to engage in criminal sexual activity. He appeared this afternoon before U.S. Magistrate Judge Steven C. Mannion in Newark federal court. He was detained without bail; a bail hearing is scheduled for September 16, 2015.
According to documents filed in this case and statements made in court:
From June 2014 through September 2014, Adams was a resident of Morris County and taught at Eisenhower Middle School in Roxbury, Morris County. During this time, he allegedly communicated with a 13-year-old victim who lived outside of New Jersey. Adams met the victim through an online gaming community and they communicated through text and video chats.
Adams allegedly offered to send payment to a child, identified in the complaint as “Minor Victim 1,” in exchange for sexually explicit images of the child, as well as live video chat sessions during which the victim engaged in sexually explicit conduct while defendant Adams watched and directed the victim’s actions. The victim did, in fact, send sexually explicit images to Adams and engage in sexually explicit conduct in live video chat sessions.
Adams is currently a teacher at Bridgewater-Raritan High School in Somerset County.
The charge of online enticement carries a mandatory minimum penalty of 10 years in prison, a maximum potential penalty of life in prison and a $250,000 fine.
U.S. Attorney Fishman credited special agents with the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement’s (ICE) Homeland Security Investigations (HSI), under the direction of Acting Special Agent in Charge Kevin Kelly in Newark; the Branchburg Police Department; and the Somerset County Prosecutor’s Office with the investigation leading to the charges.
The government is represented by Assistant U.S. Attorney Svetlana M. Eisenberg and Special Assistant U.S. Attorney Erica D. Liu of the U.S. Attorney’s Office General Crimes Unit in Newark.

The larger portion of the monument is covered with white Montana Marble chips that have a pink hue running thru them. There are a number of trees and shrubs on the Memorial, as well as a kneeling stone covered in foam for comfort. There is a walk way to the memorial made in the shape of a cross, and a concrete bench and birdbath for those who might like to sit and meditate at the Memorial.
