Parsippany Town Hall Council Agenda Meeting, Part 1 – July 10, 2018
The meeting was filmed in two parts, below appears the second part.
MORRIS COUNTY — Nick Sauter has been a pillar of the community for countless years and has touched the lives of so many as a former vice principal, athletic director, teacher, football and track coach at Passaic Valley High School.
As an active member of St. Agnes Episcopal Church in Little Falls, he’s been a member of the vestry, and was involved with the church’s food pantry for many years. He’s helped countless local families who are struggling to get the assistance they need.
A graduate of Passaic Valley High School in 1973 and Rutgers University in 1977, Sauter discovered he was in need of a kidney last year, according to his sister-in-law Donna Tissot. Nick continues to suffer from end stage renal failure, also known as end stage kidney disease, and is in need of a living kidney donor to undergo kidney transplant.
When we first ran Nick’s story in May 2017, he was already receiving dialysis three times a week, but in the meantime Nick developed a blood infection that traveled to his 21 year old knee replacement. Due to the infection, Nick had to sustain two additional surgeries on his knee this past year and his hopes for a kidney was put on hold. Nick went through three months of physical therapy along with his dialysis. With these ongoing challenges, his sister-in-law Donna Tissot says, “Nick tries to stay positive through his good and bad days”. For those who are dependent on dialysis, life is grim and challenging and time is of the essence to find a healthy living kidney donor in order to go through transplantation.
Anyone who might be interested in being a donor, or knows of someone who would like to be a donor, please contact Donna Tissot at (973) 714-7016 who will provide additional information and connect you with the transplant coordinator. In the meantime, the appropriate links and forms have been included.

As Nick’s blood type is A-, interested donors can also be type A-, as well as O, A+ and O+.
However, in addition to blood type there are other ways to determine if someone is a match so please do not let your blood type deter you from thoughts of being a donor.
The family is still hopeful that by continuing to get the word out they will soon find a match for Nick so he can once again lead a normal life and enjoy watching his family grow.
Nick and his family are very thankful for the outpouring of love and support and thank you from the bottom of their hearts.

PARSIPPANY — Carousel of Learning, 244 Kingston Road, celebrated its 30th Anniversary on Wednesday, August 1.
Joining in the celebration was Parsippany-Troy Hills Mayor Michael Soriano, Parsippany Area Chamber of Commerce Board Members Nicolas Limanov, Tina Valgemae, Executive Board Member Frank Cahill, and Parsippany-Troy Hills Economic Advisory Committee member Thomas Williams.
In 1988 Debbie Arntzen had been directing a childcare center and her father mentioned that she should look at Carousel of Learning because it was for sale. She was 28 at that time and had only dreamed of owning my own center.
It became reality on September 1, 1988 when she took ownership of Carousel of Learning. The center needed a lot of work and the paperwork was incomplete. The State helped her to get things in order.
In 1995 Arntzen was able to purchase the building and property.
In 1998, Carousel held it’s 10th anniversary expansion celebration! They added another classroom in order to start accepting infants. They also updated many things inside.
Carousel of Learning is in the process of obtaining Grow NJ Kids accreditation which will make them even better. They keep adding new technology to keep up with the times.
They are Angel Watch accredited: a security network that provides parents with camera access to their child’s classroom. Each child also has the bright wheel app that is a personal feed to keep parents updated on all their child’s activities throughout the day.
Debbie said “I have watched hundreds of children grow up! I have had some alumni come and work here, others have had their children attend! It’s wonderful that so many families keep in touch through visiting, holiday cards etc. We are truly a great big family!! I feel honored to be the head of the Carousel family!”
“It’s amazing that it has now been 30 years here and I’m still loving it,” said Arntzen.
Their commitment to child care is of the highest degree. Since 1997, they have been voted “Best Day Care Center in Morris County” in the Daily Record by “Readers’ Choice”.
Carousel of Learning provides Day Care, Infant Care, Toddler Programs and Pre-School Programs.
They are a fully-licensed day care center offering high quality services for children six weeks to five years old.
