PARSIPPANY — Parsippany High School Graduates Andrew Massefski and Joseph Zolla held a graduation party so big they had to close off Calumet Avenue to place tables, chairs and tents in the middle of the road.

The rain on Saturday afternoon, June 27, didn’t stop the event. Friends, family members, graduates showed up in the down pouring rain to celebrate with the two graduates.

The two families had a giant delicious array of food: hamburgers, hot dogs, lemon chicken, lasagna, sausage and peppers, salads, fruit salad, watermelon to name a few.

Andrew, Class President, will be attending William Paterson University in the fall, and Joseph will be attending University of Rhode Island.

Color Vibe 5K brings 5K participants to Central Park

PARSIPPANY — Color Vibe 5K Run colors Parsippany. Color Vibe is a color blast 5K that is all about having fun and getting covered from top to toe with splashes of color pandemonium. All color is 100% safe, edible, biodegradable, and beautiful. It is D&C approved and non-toxic.

The Color Vibe 5K was held on Saturday, June 27 at Central Park of Morris County, continues on Sunday, June 28. Click here for the runners guide.

Thousands of people participated in the Color Vibe 5K. Waves of approximately 500 runners left the starting line area. Then waves left every 4-6 minutes until all runners were released.

The participants got color blasted with Blue, Yellow, Pink, Purple, and Green as they ran, (or walk) through the Color Vibe zones, and they had the feeling like they were floating in a cloud of double rainbow happiness.

There were multiple color stations throughout the course. This is where they were blasted with a variety of colors. Many of our runners choose to wear glasses or protective eyewear to protect their eyes and a bandana to keep the color out of their mouths. Color Vibe was selling snazzy Color Vibe bandanas. The color used is made in the USA and is 100% safe and biodegradeable. There was plenty of color throughout the course and at the finish line party.

The Color Vibe is proud to help our community, not only by bringing a ton of colorful happiness to Parsippany, but also helping out a local charity. Color Vibe is supporting the New Jersey AIDS Services. The mission of New Jersey AIDS Services is to respond compassionately and responsibly to the HIV/AIDS crisis by providing supportive services, housing opportunities, prevention strategies and education to enhance the community we serve. The vision of NJAS is to create a community of acceptance where the social issues of HIV/AIDS can be abundantly met.

Man Sentenced In 2013 Motor Vehicle Crash That Killed Three

MORRIS COUNTY — Morris County Prosecutor Fredric M. Knapp announces that Defendant Luis E. Torres, 39, of Jersey City, has been sentenced to twenty (20) years in prison in connection with the charges stemming from a drunk driving motor vehicle crash that occurred on August 24, 2013 in Jefferson Township, which left three occupants of his vehicle dead.

The sentencing in this matter was heard before the Honorable James DeMarzo, J.S.C.   Under the sentence imposed by the Court, the defendant must serve 85 percent of the twenty year sentence before becoming eligible for parole, pursuant to the No Early Release Act. The Court also imposed a 10 year loss of driving privileges to commence after the defendant has served his prison sentence.

On March 23, the Defendant pled guilty to one count of Aggravated Manslaughter, in violation of N.J.S.A. 2C:11-4a(1), a crime of the first degree, two counts of Vehicular Homicide, in violation of N.J.S.A. 2C:11-5a, crimes of the second degree, four counts of Assault by Auto, in violation of N.J.S.A. 2C:12-1c(1), crimes of the fourth degree, one count of Assault by Auto, in violation of N.J.S.A. 2C:12-1c(2), a crime of the third degree and Driving While Intoxicated.

This prosecution stemmed from the arrest of Torres for his role in the August 24, 2013 incident where he was operating a 2002 Ford Explorer when it flipped over. He was travelling with his family on Route 15 South in Jefferson Township, New Jersey at the time of the accident. There were nine occupants inside the vehicle including the defendant. Three of the occupants were children under the age of 18. Several passengers were ejected from the vehicle resulting in the deaths of three passengers. The defendant and five remaining passengers suffered injuries. The decedents are Lucila Colon, 62; Julissa Colon, 36; and Tevia Booth, 11.

Assistant Prosecutor Brian DiGiacomo represented the State during the prosecution of this matter.

The Prosecutor would like to thank the Jefferson Township Police Department, the New Jersey State Police Fatal Accident Investigation Unit, the Morris County Prosecutor’s Office Major Crimes Unit and the Morris County Sheriff’s Office, Criminal Investigations Section.
