RANDOLPH — Elizabeth Hoban, of Newton, coordinator of Health Services at County College of Morris (CCM) and author, recently was named one of two finalists in the Declaration of Independents Audiobook Contest for her book “The Final Mission: A Boy, a Pilot and a World at War.”
The contest was sponsored by The Writer magazine to provide a winner with the opportunity to have his or her book fully produced as an audiobook. More than 3,000 entries were submitted.
“While I did not come up with the winning prize, it is an honor to have the book I authored with my father recognized by The Writer magazine,” said Hoban.
Hoban’s book, which was co-authored with her father Col. Henry Supchak, details his courageous actions as a World War II pilot to save an Austrian village and a shepherd boy’s decades-long search to thank him. Published by Westholme Publishing, the book has been described by Col. Christopher Gruber, commander of the Western Regional Medical Command, as a “remarkable story of sacrifice, honor and life-long redemption that provides a rare glimpse into the true drama of human experience.”

PARSIPPANY — Upon further investigation on Tuesday, October 4, School Resource Officer Detective Lenahan, was able to identify the juvenile that was wearing the clown mask. It was determined that this was a misguided prank and no threat to the community exists. No charges have been filed as of this release. Because the “clown” was a juvenile the name will not be released to the public.
The Parsippany-Troy Hills Police Department is addressing the large number of rumors circulating through social media and by word of mouth in the schools.
The rumors of clowns coming to the schools, possible school lockdowns, or any other incident are all rumors based on no factual information.
If you do have any factual information or screen grabs of posts of people threatening anything, please contact the Parsippany Police Department (973) 263-4300.

PARSIPPANY — Centenary University recently earned the distinction of being named a 2017 Best Value Top Institution by the Educate to Career (ETC) College Rankings Index. The Hackettstown-based University was ranked in the top 11% in the nation and listed as one of the top two private institutions in the State to earn this ranking. The 2017 ETC College Rankings Index highlights the institutions that have excelled at graduating students on a timely basis at a reasonable cost and preparing them for the workforce.
“I am pleased that Centenary University was recognized nationally for being a top value institution that adds value,” says Dr. David Haney, Centenary University President. “Our commitment to student success is manifested in the many things we do to prepare them for life after graduation. Centenarians are leading productive professional lives largely due to our combination of liberal arts and career-focused education. In fact, 94% of our graduates have jobs or are pursuing a post-baccalaureate degree within a year of graduation.”
This accolade comes just months after NJ.com reported that Centenary University was rated as having one of the highest four-year graduation rates in the State of New Jersey.
Centenary provides many resources to ensure that the success of a Centenary graduate begins from the moment that student commits to enrolling at the institution. This support includes early adviser involvement and Centenary’s First-Year Experience Program, where each student is assigned a more advanced student as a mentor. This mentor, who is called a First-Year Leader, helps guide the student through the adjustment to college life and academic expectations. Centenary University also prides itself on the institution’s proven track record in experiential learning.
These successful results are in alignment with a recent study by the Council of Independent Colleges. According to the “Cost-Effectiveness of Undergraduate Private Nondoctoral Colleges and Universities,” private non-doctoral institutions as a group produce superior graduation rates, a low time to degree for graduates, and excellent value. These significant advantages apply across student demographic categories.
