It is awarded to long-time trustees who have made outstanding contributions to their community colleges.
Weisberg, of Parsippany, has served on the CCM Board of Trustees for 25 years and has made significant contributions both within the institution and throughout the region at large.

Salem Community College has one of the most innovative glass programs in the country and Camden County College has been a leader in New Jersey in training and educating students to work in the metal fabrication and advanced manufacturing industries. The award embodies the commitment of New Jersey’s community colleges to creativity, knowledge, innovation, and collaboration.

PARSIPPANY — The Township of Parsippany-Troy Hills will be holding the first public workshop on its new Master Plan on November 27, from 7:00 p.m. to 9:00 p.m., at Parsippany Hills High School (PHHS) in the cafeteria at 20 Rita Drive.
The Township invites residents, business owners, property owners and other interested parties to share their ideas about how Parsippany should change and what assets should be protected over the next 10 years. Parsippany’s Master Plan is the Township’s public policy guide in terms of housing, economic development, transportation, utilities, recreation, sustainability, open space and other important resources.
The Master Plan is not a law, but it provides guidance to elected officials and decision-makers when they make land use, zoning and capital investment decisions. The basic purpose for a Master Plan, as stated by New Jersey Statute within the “Municipal Land Use Law” (MLUL), is “to guide the use of lands within the municipality in a manner which protects public health and safety and promotes the general welfare.” This current effort will reflect changes to the Township since the Master Plan was “Reexamined” in 2014. The purpose of the first public workshop is to introduce the project and discuss the community’s vision for Parsippany. Ensuing meetings and workshops will be used to present findings and test recommendations.
The feedback will help to ensure that the Master Plan is representative of the community as a whole and that it includes realistic and publicly supported goals and objectives. The Township led project is expected to continue until the summer of 2019. Maximizing citizen participation is an essential component of the effort.
There will be a numerous opportunities for public input including two public workshops, an online survey, stakeholder interviews and focus groups.

TRENTON — Governor Phil Murphy signed AJR152 into law, which designates the Monday before Thanksgiving Day of each year as “A Day in the Life – Type 1 Diabetes Day.”
“It is our obligation to enhance awareness around Type 1 Diabetes and bring to light the daily challenges of thousands of New Jerseyans who live with this autoimmune disease,” said Governor Murphy. “Our Administration is committed to supporting these individuals in every way possible, taking us one step closer to a fairer New Jersey for all.”
Each year, more than 30,000 children and adults are diagnosed with T1D. Individuals with T1D suffer from the inability to produce insulin, resulting in a lifetime of health complications as there is no known cure.
This resolution will raise awareness of T1D and note the need for more research to help the 3 million Americans with T1D.
Sponsors of the legislation include Assembly members Eric Houghtaling, Joann Downey, Roy Freiman, and Senator Vin Gopal.
PARSIPPANY — Meet Earl! Named after a relaxing cup of tea, his name says a lot about his personality!
Earl is nine years old and was recently rescued from an inner-city municipal shelter after they found him as a stray. Don’t let that make you sad though, this happy senior is now ready to find his forever family!
At only 47 lbs, he is a pint-sized cup of goodness. His tail NEVER stops wagging and he absolutely loves everyone he meets. While he is a more distinguished gentleman, he is still full of life and energy. Earl loves going for walks, eating bully sticks, and giving lots of kisses during snuggle time. He’s a great mix of fun and cuddly!
Earl would be great in a home with young children as he is tolerant and very easygoing. He’d prefer a home without cats but we think he can live with a calm, tolerant dog as Earl tends to be a bit dominant around other pups. He is potty-trained and crate-trained too!
Earl’s skin is currently in need of some TLC due to his previous, neglectful owners but he is loving his new food and improving every day. He is also deaf but doesn’t let that stop him at all! He does not get spooked or scared due to his deafness and, since he is always right by his foster’s side, it’s easy to get his attention.
If you’re looking for a sweet, relaxed guy who’d love to spend his golden years pleasing and loving you, apply to adopt Earl today!
If you are interested in adopting Earl, please fill out an application by clicking here.

Dear Editor:
On Tuesday, November 20, the Parsippany-Troy Hills Township Council will vote on whether to approve a PILOT (Payment in Lieu of Taxes) agreement between the township and the developer of the District at 1515 project, which consists of 441 apartment units and 112,000 sq. ft. of retail space. This PILOT DEAL is to compensate for an alleged “constitutional obligation”? Well then if that is in fact the case then 100% affordable should be the objective, along with State subsidies to enforce their own ruling. The construction of more luxury apartments or retail space is completely unneeded in order to accomplish this obligation. This is part of the Christie legacy which failed to address a viable solution to the exploitation of citizens do to market forces driven by profit motives rather than the actual organic needs of society.
The following from “Housing Opportunity Task Force Findings & Recommendations”, March 19, 2010. Which is still the core of the dilemma created by the original case, Mount Laurel being more about discrimination and gentrification and its demise of basic rights of citizens.
In Mount Laurel I, this Court held that a zoning ordinance that contravened the general welfare was unconstitutional. We pointed out that a developing municipality violated that constitutional mandate by excluding housing for lower income people; that it would satisfy that constitutional obligation by affirmatively affording a realistic opportunity for the construction of its fair share of the present and prospective regional need for low and moderate income housing. This is the core of the Mount Laurel doctrine. Although the Court set forth important guidelines for implementing the doctrine, their application to particular cases was complex, and the resolution of many questions left uncertain. Was it a “developing” municipality? What was the “region,” and how was it to be determined? How was the “fair share” to be calculated within that region? Precisely what must that municipality to do to “affirmatively afford” an opportunity for the construction of lower income housing? Other questions were similarly troublesome.
Two basic approaches must be deciphered. 1. Immediate, or short-term. Is their really an absolute need for this additional unneeded elements of the proposed development, more market or luxury apartments,and retail? does not Parsippany already have enough housing options both rented and vacant already satisfying needs? Does not Parsippany already have enough retail malls? 2. Comprehensive, or long term impacts that will occur; for example traffic, water, trash and air pollution. The mere fact that a for-profit corporate developer of perhaps unknown actual already existing financial resources is trying to take advance of local officials perhaps not capable of determining all factors, both local and regional and all sources including nonprofit housing available. What is the need for more new construction? It has not been determined, but thrown to the dogs due to Governor Christie’s lack of leadership. Comprehensive would also included strategic plan envisioning what long term future it holds; for example housing in close proximity to travel options, transit and work location to decrease the sprawl phenomena rather than increase it. We must also question, why is Parsippany not directly dealing with the Fair Share Housing Center ; why are we circumventing this agency as a primary partner?
Developers have been using affordable housing in other ways, like intimidating and threatening lawsuits; waterview still the best example. If local officials really knew the law and policies of good land use they should have known waterview could never have fallen to COAH type housing. Local officials proved they could not defend their own community from false threats because they were not versed in policies and options available to invoke.
The other ploy used in conjunction with undefined obligations is jobs; short term jobs in construction and substandard jobs of dubious employment possibilities.
The bottom line is without government subsidies to meet the obligation of necessity for ‘affordable living space’ private corporate forces will continue to dominate through their power of lawsuits and PILOT deals while the very agency of government itself, the Constitutional Source of the obligation plays little or no role in mandating low income housing to citizens that are left out in favor of capital rather than real human needs. Parsippany and all of New Jersey needs a plan and an economy that serves the people, not the people to serve the economy. An economy that already favors the advantaged. The giant traffic jam of November 15 due to the snowstorm was more due to the sprawl and its replication will and does occur over and over again all due to poor planning and developers fantasies as they walk away from the havoc they inflict on the general welfare of man and nature.
NO PILOT AGREEMENT or mortgage and sales tax exemptions for corporations that can easily afford to pay their fair share of the tax burden. Giving away our tax base only produces less revenue, which in turn means higher taxes for all property owners.

Dear Editor:
My name is Johan and I’m 30 years old. I am scared about the effects climate change will have on our generation and the next. Already people on the west coast are being labeled as climate change refugees due to being displaced from the wildfires.
I support Rep. Ocasio-Cortez’s resolution to create a House Select Committee for a Green New Deal in Congress. United Nations climate scientists tell us we have just twelve years to move our country off fossil fuels, to avoid catastrophic climate disaster.
We need a Green New Deal to create millions of green jobs, move our country off fossil fuels, and protect working people of all backgrounds. Congress members should support this resolution. The Green New Deal already has 10 Reps supporting it. I ask for our new elect Reps. in New Jersey Tom Malinowski, Mikie Sherrill, Andy Kim and Jeff Van Drew to support the Green New Deal.

PARSIPPANY — Matthew Griffin Mancuso, 25, passed away peacefully on Friday, November 16, at Massachusetts General Hospital in Boston, MA.
Matthew was born on March 5, 1993. He was raised in Rainbow Lakes and attended Intervale Elementary School, Brooklawn Middle School, and Parsippany Hills High School (Class of 2011). Following graduation, Matthew traveled to North Carolina where he earned both his Bachelor and Masters degrees in Accountancy from Wake Forest University. During this time, Matthew earned top business school awards, his CPA certification, and internships with Dixon Hughes Goodman (Winston-Salem, NC) and PricewaterhouseCoopers (Boston, MA).
In July 2016, Matthew began his professional career with PricewaterhouseCoopers (PwC) as a full time Associate in the International Tax practice at their Boston headquarters. He excelled in this role and was promoted to Senior Associate in January 2018. Although he spent the majority of his time at PwC as a Tax Specialist, Matthew had recently found his true passion in advancing the company’s technological insights.
In July 2018, Matthew was selected to join the inaugural class of Digital Accelerators (DA) at PwC, a program designed to train employees on cutting-edge technology developments. In the short time that Matt was a part of the program, he excelled and became a “go-to” person for his DA colleagues nationwide. According to them, Matthew’s constant encouragement, positive energy, and excitement for the DA program made everyone want to work and learn alongside him.
Outside of academic and professional settings, Matthew was best known for engaging in three types of activities: exploring, volunteering, and laughing with friends. From skydiving, to kite-flying, to becoming a pseudo-expert on Boston’s public transportation system, to traveling and volunteering internationally, to developing the Supplies-Across-Skies donation concept alongside his best friends, Matthew was constantly on a mission to improve both himself and the world around him.
Matthew will be remembered by others as a kind, intelligent, fun-loving, thoughtful, independent, honest, loyal, and confident man of integrity. He is survived and will be cherished dearly by immediate family members, including his mother and father, Dorothy and Anthony Mancuso, and sister and brother-in-law, Andrea and Sergio Ramalho, as well as scores of aunts, uncles, cousins, and close friends.
Relatives and friends are invited to attend Matthew’s funeral mass at St. Mary’s Church, 15 Myers Avenue, Denville, on Wednesday, November 21 at 10:00 a.m.
