Parsippany PAL Saves 150 Lives with Blood Drive

PARSIPPANY —  Over 40 blood donors came out to support the Parsippany PAL community blood drive with their lifesaving blood. One unit of blood can help up to 3 different patients so 150 lives will be impacted from this blood drive.

The blood supply is at a dangerously low level due to Covid-19 and New Jersey Blood Services is desperately seeking large venues where blood drives can be held while maintaining social distancing. The blood center is unable to run bus drives so it is imperative these sites are found so donors can find a donation location. New Jersey Blood Services (NJBS) reports that last summer over 1500 units of blood were donated on bus mobile drives that cannot run this summer to safely social distance.

If you would like to help save lives by finding a location and assisting in recruiting blood donors please reach out to SLynch@nybc.org. If you would like to donate blood, sign up by clicking here.

Extra precautions are being taken to help prevent the person-to-person spread of COVID-19. As always, people are not eligible to donate if they’re experiencing a cold, sore throat, respiratory infection, or flu-like symptoms. Additional information on donor eligibility and COVID-19 precautions are available by clicking here.

Iris Goicochea Raised over $47,000 for “Virtual Fight For Air Climb New Jersey”

PARSIPPANY — Parsippany resident Iris Goicochea participated in the American Lung Association’s first-ever Virtual Fight For Air Climb New Jersey, in honor of her mother who passed away from lung cancer. Her efforts helped to raise over $47,000.

Iris Goicochea

The annual event was originally scheduled for late March and regularly attracts over 200 people to walk or run up the 27 flights of stairs, or 504 steps, to the top of One Gateway Center in Newark.

This year, Covid-19 required the event to be moved online, and participants from all over New Jersey joined “The Fight” and stayed active by choosing a challenge such as climbing, running, walking, or cycling from home or near their own neighborhoods.

Funds raised through the event will go to the Lung Association’s mission, to save lives by improving lung health and preventing lung disease through advocacy, education, and research of lung diseases, including COVID-19.

Philip Deleasa Arrested by West Caldwell Police for DWI

PARSIPPANY — West Caldwell Police Patrolman Velardi and Patrolman Redmerski initiated a motor vehicle stop of a Jeep on Bloomfield Avenue, due to multiple vehicle equipment violations and striking a curb, at 11:23 p.m. on Sunday, June 21.

While speaking to officers, the operator of the vehicle, Philip Deleasa, 37, Parsippany, appeared to be under the influence. In addition, officers found on scene evidence of recent use of a controlled dangerous substance.

In speaking to the officers, Deleasa reported that he had a handgun with ammunition in a bag under the front passenger seat of his vehicle.

A search of the described area of the vehicle yielded a camouflage bag, containing a Smith and Wesson 1911 .45 ACP handgun, four .45 ACP magazines, and a .40 caliber magazine, 13 hollow point bullets and 12 full metal jacket bullets.

Deleasa was then requested to perform several standardized field sobriety tests, which he was not able to successfully pass.

Deleasa was taken into custody and transported to police headquarters where he was charged with the following:

• Driving While Intoxicated (39:4-50)
• Maintenance of Lamps (39:3-66)
• Lamps and Reflectors Required (39:3-61)
• Unclear Plate (39:3-33)

• Unlawful possession of Hollow Point Bullets (2C:29-3f(1))
• Under the Influence of a Controlled Dangerous Substance (2C:35-10b)

Deleasa was released from custody on a Complaint-Summons with a mandatory court date of Thursday, July 23.

Editor’s Note: An arrest or the signing of a criminal complaint is merely an accusation.  Despite this accusation, the defendants are presumed innocent unless and until he or she has been proven guilty beyond a reasonable doubt in a court of law.

Becchi Officially Declared Winner of the Republican Nomination for the 11th Congressional District

PARSIPPANY — Rosemary Becchi was officially declared the winner of the Republican nomination for the 11th Congressional District of New Jersey. Upon receiving the nomination, she released the following statement:

First and foremost, I want to thank the people of New Jersey’s 11th Congressional District who have supported my campaign and trusted me with your vote in this primary.  I am humbled by the support, time, money, and effort that people from across the district have put forward to help us in our campaign. I am honored to be the Republican party nominee for Congress in New Jersey’s 11th District.
This is the first step towards returning our District to a Representative who will be a Representative of the People – not a rubber stamp for Nancy Pelosi’s liberal agenda. Someone who will represent New Jersey families and not the liberal Democrat elites.
From now until November 3rd and beyond I will keep fighting for the people of New Jersey- for our small business owners and employees, our first responders, our police officers who feel underrepresented in Congress right now, and our families. Somehow, the people of the 11th District have become secondary to the liberal left agenda. I will make sure the voices of the people of our district are heard in this election and in the halls of Congress.
I will work to get the economy going again for New Jersey families, create more good jobs, and make New Jersey affordable so that generations of New Jerseyans can afford to stay in their home state.
My plans are straightforward, I intend to bring my experience and my unyielding desire to serve and help people to advance an agenda that will move our economy forward, rebuild trust with your Representative in Washington, and put people over hyper-partisan politics.
I am grateful for the support that has allowed my campaign to advance to this point. Thank you to the voters, my staff, and most importantly – my family of without whom none of this would be possible.”
