PARSIPPANY — Members and friends of the Woman’s Club of Parsippany-Troy Hills recently participated in the “Click for Babies” campaign. They clicked their knitting needles and flicked their crochet hooks to produce 75 caps for newborn babies.

MORRIS COUNTY — The Morris County Clerk’s Passport Division is taking its passport operation “on the road” starting on Thursday, October 8 in Jefferson to make it more convenient for people to obtain passports, especially for those who may not be able to come to the County Clerk’s passport office in Morristown or to get to any passport office due to their working hours.
“We think this service will be of great help to many Morris County residents whose busy schedules make it difficult to make the time to obtain passports, which are more vital than ever for travel and also for identification purposes,’’ said Morris County Clerk Ann Grossi. “We hope to offer convenient passport service at various locations across Morris County in the future.
The “Passport Outreach Program’’ will benefit anyone in need of a new or renewed passport, said Grossi. The passport session in Jefferson will be held on Thursday, October 8, from 4:30 p.m. to 8:00 p.m. at Camp Jefferson, which is located at 81 Weldon Road, Lake Hopatcong.
Appointments are required for the Passport Outreach Program, and can be made by calling (973) 285-6161.
Grossi urges anyone interested in using the service to carefully review what they must bring to the passport center, and to call her office if they have any questions.
“We certainly want this process to go smoothly for applicants, so it’s important they understand what is required to obtain or renew a passport,’’ Grossi said.
Here is what you need:
Citizenship evidence: A certified birth certificate (not a photocopy) listing both parents’ names, or a current passport, or a naturalization certificate, or a consular report of birth abroad.
Photograph: One color 2 x 2 photo with white or light background (photos can be obtained on site for a $10 fee)

Payment can be made only by personal check, money order or bank check. Not by credit or debit cards. Cash will NOT be accepted.

If you must expedite the passport process, an expedited process fee is $60.00 per application and $14.85 for overnight express mail.
Minors must appear with both parents, properly identified. The child’s birth certificate issued by the Bureau of Vital Statistics or the Department of Health and stating both of the parent’s names also must be submitted.

PARSIPPANY — For some, the word Aurora may evoke the Roman goddess of dawn. For others fortunate enough to visit the far northern or southern latitudes, Auroras can be seen as beautiful forms of different colored lights in the upper atmosphere. But for the residents of Parsippany, New Jersey, Aurora Information Security and Risk, or simply Aurora, is known as the computer firm which billed the Township upwards of $700,000 for imaging the hard disk drive of one police officer’s computer.
This past February, Township attorney John Inglesino told Council members at a public meeting that although Aurora had “north of $700,000 in charges to the Township, they [Aurora] were told don’t even bother to send in the bills”. The Township’s Business Administrator, Ellen Sandman went on to credit Inglesino’s firm for negotiating Aurora’s bill down to approximately $267,000 and implied that once a 12 month payment plan was completed, in addition to a $150,000 down payment which was already made, Aurora would be paid in full.
On August 28, 2015 Parsippany paid it’s ninth installment payment of $5,833.33 to Mr. Inglesino’s firm which was earmarked for Aurora. But the charges haven’t ended there. In July 2015, Mr. Inglesino’s firm billed the Township an additional $3600 for Aurora’s services and last month his firm charged an additional $4058. These amounts are over and above the amounts agreed upon and told to Council members and the public.
At that same February meeting, Mr. Inglesino publicly stated that there was “an accord of satisfaction letter that’s been signed by Aurora in which they release the town from any additional monies over and above the 220 [$220,000] that’s been negotiated.”
“I believe that has been distributed,” countered Sandman.
Parsippany Focus recently filed an OPRA requesting the “accord of satisfaction” letter referenced by Inglesino and Sandman. When Parsippany Focus sought clarification on why it had still not received the request back by its due date September 18, Township officials responded that “this will be addressed /resolved at tomorrow’s council meeting.”
This evening’s Council meeting begins at 7:30 p.m. and is open to the public.

PARSIPPANY — The Parsippany High School Red Hawks have a multi-million dollar brand new AstroTurf field, beautiful red uniforms, a second year Head Coach in Jason Hurta and a coaching staff with a great attitude. The only thing else that was needed was a football team that could get the job done. The result was more of the same from the Red Hawks.
The game stated optimistically as Hackettstown fumbled on their third play from scrimmage on their own 19 yard line but the Red Hawks were unable to advance the ball and their field goal attempt was blocked. That was about it for Red Hawk highlights as Hackettstown scored by running the ball for touchdowns on all but their last possession of the first half. The halftime score was 35-0. The only other highlight was a second fumble by Hackettstown that the Red Hawks recovered but were unable to take advantage of. The only positive plays on offense were two fourth down runs by Punter Robert Hockey. One was on a fourth and 15 that fell 1 yard short and a second that gained their only first down of the half. The drive fizzled after that.
There was no scoring by either team in the third quarter and both teams traded touchdowns in the fourth.
Final score: Hackettstown 42, Parsippany 7.
The Red Hawks next game is Friday, September 25 at Newton at 7:00 p.m.
