PARSIPPANY — The Par-Troy Wrestling Club is a township program for kids K-8 to learn the sport of wrestling. The program is a direct feeder program for both Parsippany Hills and Parsippany High wrestling teams. They have close to 100 children in the program currently and compete in various leagues across northern New Jersey. This past weekend, they held our annual Holiday tournament at the Parsippany PAL building.
The Par-Troy Wrestling Club held two separate tournaments, one a K-6th grade duals and the other a K-8th grade duals tournament.
The K-6 team went 4-0 on the day and took home first place for the first time in over four years. The children competed extremely tough and made Parsippany proud!
The K-8 team wrestled well in the afternoon session and looks to compete for a year end title in the Grade School league. The team competes though the winter season culminating with the state tournament!
Wrestling is the world’s oldest sport and a great way for kids to learn self-motivation, hard work, exercise, and most of all have fun and make new friends from all over this great town.
If you are interested in learning more about the program, would like to register, donate, etc. click here , or contact Head Coach Albert Fornini atAlbert.Fornini@wyn.com.
During the months just prior to their re-election or election to office, dePierro, Gragnani and Valori will attend every event that they can and pretend to listen to the people who speak with them. Then when they are elected to office, they turn their heads to the people who voted for them and don’t even have the time to talk to them when seen out in public during non-election times.
To make matters worse, when they are acting in their official capacity as Council people they limit the amount of time Parsippany residents can speak during the open public portion at Council meetings. It used to be 5 minutes and now because of DePierro, Gragnani and Valori, Parsippany residents can only speak for 3 minutes.
I hope that the Parsippany residents will remember that DePierro, Gragnani and Valori don’t have time to hear or listen to what Parsippany residents have to say when it comes time to vote during the next election.
With that said, I would encourage every resident who cares about Parsippany to contact these elected members and voice their concerns.
They have no problem talking to the residents when they are running for office. So, why would now be any different.
All of this information about these elected people is available online.

PARSIPPANY — Ylka Padilla was named Business Development Advocate of the Year by The Morris County Hispanic American Chamber of Commerce and its annual Awards Holiday Banque on December 13.
Ylka studied Accounting at Pedo Henriquez Urena University in Santo Domingo, Dominican Republic. She presently is Vice-President, Market Manager at Provident Bank where she has worked for 22 years managing the Morris Plains and Parsippany branches.
She previously worked for Baco de Reservas, Dominican Republic for four years, following her immigration to USA at the age of twenty, she started working for Dover NJ Spanish American Federal Credit Union. As a bilingual banker she has helped the Hispanic community achieve the American Dream through guidance and education. She takes pride and honors where she works with this great community and provide advice on how to grow their business.
Mrs. Padilla volunteers for several non-profit organizations such as Housing Partnership for Morris County as a trustee, Parsippany Soccer Club as a soccer coach for several seasons, Girl Scouts of Northern New Jersey, where she has provided financial education for several troops. She is also a member of the Parsippany-Troy Hills Rotary Club. She resides in Lake Parsippany with her husband and children.
Morris County Hispanic-American Chamber of Commerce is the embodiment of an idea that arose in the summer of 1989. Little did the founding members realize what the future and importance of this Chamber would become, not only to the Hispanic-owned small business community, but to all of Morris County and New Jersey.
Two of the three founding members remain active in our Chamber; they are former Chamber Presidents Esperanza Porras-Field and John Sanchez. Neyla Porras de Moreno, the third founding member, moved away from Morris County, but still remains active in another Hispanic Chamber.
MCHACC has grown from an idea to a local, county, state, national and internationally renowned Chamber. At the past National USHCC Convention, we signed a Memorandum of Agreement with the Toronto Hispanic Chamber of Commerce that provides for mutual membership in each others respective Chamber.
Council President Louis Valori introduced Resolution No. 2017:187 at the final regular Council meeting held on Tuesday, December 19 to thwart the will of the people who voted him out of office (and the Mayor too).
The People of Parsippany voted for new leadership and to rid the town of the Township Attorney John Inglesino who was appointed by Mayor James Barberio.This move to prevent the new Mayor from starting with a clean slate is an attempt by the losers of the election to handicap the new administration.
John Inglesino is a partisan who will do anything to undercut the new Mayor and the will of the People.As Town Attorney he is an employee, yet at Town Council meetings he berates residents who speak up against motions or actions he is in fovor of and benefits from.No employee should be allowed to verbally attack any resident for speaking their mind.Anyone who attends Council meetings knows that he speaks more than anyone on the Council with the exception of Lou Valori.His actions make it clear he cannot serve on the council or the people in Parsippany.He interests are his paycheck and undercutting the will of the People of Parsippany.
The resolution was approved 3-0 with two members abstaining. Council President Louis Valori, Councilman Michael dePierro and Councilwoman Loretta Gragnani voted to approve the resolution, while Council Vice President Robert Peluso and Councilman Paul Carifi, Jr., abstained.
The People of Parsippany removed the Mayor and Council President and John Inglesino was one of the primary reasons they had to go.This attempt by the Council to leave in place an employee who has put his agenda ahead of the People of Parsippany is an affront.Councilman Michael dePierro and Councilwoman Loretta Gragnani need to be replaced for putting Party before the People.I will remember this at the next election and I hope others do as well.

Domestic violence or abuse is when one person controls or coerces the other in an intimate relationship. It is about power and control. Abusers choose to use physical violence or emotional battering to express anger and gain control. They are not provoked to use violence; they alone are responsible for their inappropriate and unacceptable behavior. Domestic violence is a crime and can result in the abuser being removed or restrained from the home and/or jailed.
Jersey Battered Women’s Service in Morris County is a full-service domestic violence and domestic abuse prevention agency with volunteer opportunities. The services include a 24-hour hotline; counseling; safe house; transitional living; children’s services; life skills education; vocational counseling; batterers’ intervention; legal assistance; teen dating violence services; and professional training, education and youth prevention programs.
In 1976, a small group of women in Morris County began a helpline to aid victims of domestic violence. When two of these callers were murdered by their husbands, the need for a confidential shelter became urgent.
From its grass-roots beginnings, Jersey Battered Women’s Service opened its shelter doors to the community in late December 1978. Now, JBWS is a full-service, private, nonprofit domestic violence agency.
The mission of JBWS is the prevention of domestic violence through the protection and empowerment of the victim, the rehabilitation of family members, the advocacy of social reform to prevent partner violence, and the education of the public about domestic violence and its consequences.
Their vision is to create a community-wide culture that refuses to tolerate the presence of any form of family or partner violence.

John finds the task impossible, but slowly clues emerge in connections he finds between his soul mate and his nurse, and even a dream repair case he is working on. But all this will take time, the one thing it appears he does not have.As his soul mate tells him in a dream, if he is to learn where dreams can take him and where they can’t, he must “have some faith.”

PARSIPPANY — In a last minute attempt to save Township Attorney John Inglesino from being replaced by the new Administration at the annual reorganization meeting, Council President Louis Valori introduced Resolution No. 2017:187 at the final regular Council meeting held on Tuesday, December 19.
The resolution was approved 3-0 with two members abstaining. Council President Louis Valori, Councilman Michael dePierro and Councilwoman Loretta Gragnani voted to approve the resolution, while Council Vice President Robert Peluso and Councilman Paul Carifi, Jr., abstained.
The resolution appoints Todd M. Galante, Esq. and Piro, Zinna, Cifelli, Paris and Genitempo, LLC, (PiroZinna Firm) as special legal counsel for purposes of advising the Township Council on potential conflicts involving Councilman Paul Carifi, Jr. voting on the appointment of Township Attorney.
It is expected that Mayor-Elect Michael Soriano will nominate a new plenary Township Attorney, as well as Special Township Counsel at the Township Council’s reorganization meeting on January 1, 2018.
Democrat Mayor-elect Michael Soriano campaign promise is to replace current Township Attorney John Inglesino. Soriano has not announced who he will be nominating for Township Attorney.
Township Attorney John Inglesino
Township Attorney John Inglesino was appointed by Mayor James Barberio. During the eight years as Township Attorney, many of the years he was a “hold over” because not all Council members, including Council President Louis Valori, voted for reappointment of Inglesino.
The resolution states “the purpose of the Township Council retaining Mr. Galante and the PiroZinna Firm is to examine and opine on a potential conflict of interest involving Councilman Carifi, that may arise should Councilman Carifi vote on the Nominated Township Attorney or Special Counsel and Mr. Galante and PiroZinna shall prepare and deliver a legal opinion regarding potential conflict of interest as well as any other related issue pertaining thereto, to the Township Council in writing prior to the reorganization meeting scheduled for January 1, 2017. (Editors note: Although the resolution calls for a reorganization meeting on January 1, 2017, the actual reorganization will be held on January 2, 2018).
In addition the resolution states “Mr. Galante and the PiroZinna Firm shall and are hereby further authorized, by this Resolution, to take such other and further action they deem appropriate to prepare certain pleadings, legal papers and legal proceedings, including, but not limited to, an Order to Show Cause, to obtain declaratory judgment and whatever appropriate action and/or other relief as may be appropriate to enforce the purpose and directives of this Resolution, and shall file the same with the Clerk of the Superior Court of New Jersey should Councilman Carifi vote on the appointment of the Nominated Township Attorney or Special Counsel, and otherwise fully prosecute a definitive adjudication on said conflict of interest issue (as well as any other related issues or matters arising or related thereto) even if such full adjudication requires appeals.”
If they are successful in attempting to block Carifi, most likely the vote will be split 2-2 (Republicans dePierro and Gragnani voting against the new appointment, while new Council Democrat Candidates McCarthy and Peterson will vote for the new appointment) and Inglesino could become a hold-over.
Councilman Paul Carifi said “Just another attempt by Barberio to help his buddy Inglesino to continue to charge the residents of Parsippany outrages legal fees. Wasn’t this one of the reasons the residents of Parsippany overwhelmingly voted to get rid of Barberio and Inglesino. I wonder if Barberio, Inglesino and Valori had another Sunday night meeting to come up with this one.“
Councilman Paul Carifi, Jr.
The resolution also states “Councilman Carifi’s position on the Township Council creates the potential for a conflict of interest insofar as Councilman Carifi may seek to exercise his vote on the Nominated Township Attorney and any Special Counsel, who would have the authority to affect the outcome of the James Carifi Litigations.”
James Carifi is the brother of Township Councilman Paul Carifi, Jr.
James Carifi has filed two civil actions against the Township, known as Carifi I and Carifi III, and the Township has filed a civil action against James Carifi, known as Carifi II.
Carifi I and Carifi III are at the trial court level, both actions are currently on appeal before the New Jersey Superior Court Appellate Division. The trial of Carifi II is imminent as the Superior Court of New Jersey has set a firm return date of January 5, 2018 for pre-trial motions.
Council President Louis Valori, also announced there will be a special council meeting on December 27 at 4:30 p.m. The agenda states:
Resolution of the Township Council of the Township of Parsippany-Troy Hills authorizing the execution of an agreement with Morris Corporate Center VI, LLC for the installation and maintenance of landscaping on a portion of the property known as 100 Cherry Hill Road (block 136, lot 44) in the Township of Parsippany-Troy Hills
Resolution of the Township Council of the township of Parsippany-Troy Hills authorizing a mobile intensive care unit affiliation agreement with Prime Healthcare Services
Resolution of the Township Council of the township of Parsippany-Troy Hills authorizing a developer’s agreement with 700 Mountain Way
Any other action reasonably related thereto may also be taken. Formal action may or not be taken.
Mayor-elect Michael Soriano swept the General Election against Mayor James Barberio by almost 800 votes.

NEW JERSEY — Senator Joe Pennacchio called for action on legislation he sponsors to increase property tax relief for New Jerseyans through the elimination of the $10,000 limit on the property tax deduction that can be claimed by state income tax filers. Yesterday, Governor Christie expressed support for allowing homeowners to fully deduct their property taxes, saying it’s something the state can afford to do. Pennacchio said the Legislature should pass the measure now, with Christie’s support, or in the early days of the upcoming Murphy administration.
Senator Pennacchio calls on Governor-elect Murphy to committee to eliminating cap on property tax deduction.
“Governor-elect Murphy has been critical of the national restriction of the SALT deduction. If he is to be consistent, he should support eliminating New Jersey’s $10,000 cap,” stated Pennacchio. “Although asked for comments by various media groups, Governor-elect Phil Murphy has yet to say he will support the elimination of the $10,000 cap. I am asking for the Governor-elect’s commitment, yea or nay. If nay, that puts great urgency on the Legislature to pass S-3598 and have Governor Christie sign it.”
Pennacchio’s legislation, S-3598, would allow New Jersey homeowners and renters to fully deduct their property taxes. The maximum deduction that can be claimed under the New Jersey Gross Income Tax for property taxes is currently $10,000.
“Seizing this opportunity to provide immediate property tax relief should be the top priority in Trenton,” Pennacchio stated. “My bill, S-3598, provides solutions to Governor-elect Murphy’s concerns of Washington and focuses on supporting our hard working families in New Jersey.”
MORRIS PLAINS — Morris County Prosecutor Fredric M. Knapp and Morris Plains Borough Police Chief Jason A.
