Nelson rescues baby from car crash
Officer Brian Conover responded to the area of 79 South Powdermill Road to investigate reports of a vehicle crash at 12:38 p.m. on Friday, October 4.
Councilman Jonathan Nelson was first at the scene, and observed a baby restrained in the back seat of the car.
He ran to the car, opened the door and safely removed the baby. During the crash the radiator bursed, and steam was pouring out of the hood of the vehicle.
Upon Officer Brian Conover’s arrival he observed a 2002 Lexus ES3 with heavy front end damage near the passenger side fender.
His crash investigation revealed that the vehicle 
was traveling south on South Powdermill Road when it struck a curb, left the roadway and crashed into a tree, Officer Earl Kinsey said.
The impact was severe enough to rip the passenger side front tire off of the vehicle and deploy the front airbags.
Par-Troy EMS responded to the scene to evaluate the 62 year old female driver and the two year old rear seat passenger who was properly restrained, but they declined to be transported to the hospital for further evaluation.
The driver of the vehicle was issued a summons for Careless Driving.
Pedestrian Accident at New Road
Officer Steve Miller responded to the area of Route 46 at the intersection of New Road at 6:10 a.m. on Saturday, October 5 to investigate multiple reports that a pedestrian had been struck by a vehicle at that intersection.
Upon his arrival, the roadway was closed to all traffic by Officer Miller. Additional officers responded for traffic control as a Par-Troy EMS unit and Paramedics from St. Clare’s Hospital arrived and began treating the seriously injured pedestrian who was identified as a 30 year old male Parsippany Resident.
Officer Miller’s investigation revealed that the pedestrian was crossing Rt. 46 in the crosswalk from the north side of the road to the south side of the road with the right of way. By the time he reached the middle lane of Route 46 East, Route 46 traffic now had a green light. Due to the time and day of the crash, traffic was very light and there were no vehicles stopped at the light on Route 46 while it was red.
A 1995 Toyota Camry being operated by a Lake Hiawatha resident was traveling at highway speed when it struck the pedestrian. The pedestrian was treated and transported to Morristown Hospital where he remains stable condition post-surgery.
The Morris County Sheriff’s Department responded to the scene to take laser measurements and Montville officers as well as NJ DOT units also assisted with traffic control. Parsippany District 5 Fire and Parsippany Rescue and Recovery also responded to assist with lighting. The eastbound lanes of travel were closed for approx. one hour.

Kiwanis Club of Greater Parsippany Foundation’s Grand Tasting Event
Many of us have known a friend or relative nearing the end of life due to cancer or another serious chronic illness. This is a time of unthinkable sadness for the family but at this time, the family’s primary goal is to ensure that their loved one is able to spend his/her last days in comfort.
Many studies have demonstrated that inpatient hospice care and palliative care programs improve the quality of life for the patient and the patient’s family.
Nancy and Skippy Weinstein have recognized the need for such a facility in Morris County. Through their generosity, they are working with Morristown Medical Center to establish the Weinstein Family Inpatient Hospice and Palliative Care Center. This center will help those patients with chronic or life-limiting illness to live as comfortably as they can, for as long as they can, by featuring an 11 bed Impatient Hospice and Palliative Care Center at Morristown Medical Center. This special area will be designed to look and feel like a private home.
The Kiwanis Club of Greater Parsippany discovered that additional funding is needed before the Weinstein Family Inpatient Hospice and Palliative Care Center will become a reality. A committee of the Club’s officers met and determined, that they would make funding for this center the primary focus of the 2013 Kiwanis Club of Greater Parsippany Foundation’s Grand Tasting Event. The event, which will be held on Thursday, October 17, 2013, from 6:30-9:30p.m., at Hanover Manor, 16 Eagle Rock Acvenue, East Hanover , will include: hors d’oeuvres; a dinner buffet; fine wines;, gourmet beers; single malts; select spirits; silent auction; and much more. Tickets are $50 per person and may be purchased online at www.F4MMC.org/grandtasting or by check payable to Kiwanis Club of Greater Parsippany Foundation, P.O. Box 5342, Parsippany, New Jersey 07054, or may be purchased at Liquor Outlet Wine Cellars, 289 Myrtle Avenue, Boonton, New Jersey.
Liquor Outlet Wine Cellars has generously partnered with the Kiwanis Foundation to conduct this wine tasting for many years. Liquor Outlet joins Kiwanis in supporting fundraising projects that make an impact and better the quality of life for our community.
“As a member of Kiwanis International, one of our club’s goals is to “Give primacy to the human and spiritual, rather than the material value of life”, so this fundraising event ties in with the objectives of our organization. Although I lead this project, without the assistance of several of our club members, this Grand Tasting event could not be as successful. This is a cause that affects each one of us. I am hoping that we will get a great torn-out at this event and help to make the Weinstein Family Inpatient Hospice and Palliative Care Center a reality. “, said Michael Mulhaul, chairperson of the Kiwanis Club’s Grand Tasting.
The Kiwanis Club of Greater Parsippany is a 501C3 foundation. Its approximately 60 club members meet on Thursday morning at the Empire Diner, Parsippany. The club members join with the Weinstein Family in inviting you to attend this grand tasting event. It is an opportunity for you to socialize, meet new people and give back to the community.

“Autumn in the Valley” Historic House Tour
The Washington Township Historical Society’s annual historic house tour, “Autumn in the Valley”, will be held on Saturday, October 5 from 11:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m.
In honor of the Washington Township’s 275th anniversary of its first permanent settlement in 1738, this year’s tour is a walking tour of homes and the Zion Lutheran Church on Schooley’s Mountain Rd. in the section known at one time as German Valley.
Fogarty’s Barn on W. Maple Street was built by a local builder, Isaac Horton, in the 1880s and was owned at one time by a local teacher, Charles Hendershot. Converted into a home in the 1970s, the post and beam construction was exposed and the original stable windows are still in place.
Built in 1818, Dr. Samuel Willet’s home on Schooley’s Mountain Road is an eclectic mix of Gothic and Italianate styles. Visitors to the home still can use the original doorbell and enter walking across wide-planked floors of pumpkin pine.
The Dufford House was built in 1872 and was first owned by Henry P. Dufford. Mr. Dufford, who married Sarah Elizabeth Weise, devised a method of constructing an ‘aqueduct’ to bring water down Schooley’s Mountain to be used by several homes in the area.
One of the two homes never before on the tour was at one time the home of Irving Buchanan and his family. Mr. Buchanan was president of the local school board for many years. Recently renovated, the home retains the charm of its earlier years.
The other home never before on the tour was built as a parochial (private) school during the mid 1800’s. Rev. James Knox of the German Valley Presbyterian Church established the school through funding by the local school board and tuitions.
The Zion Lutheran Church on Schooley’s Mountain Road was consecrated on November 25, 1832 and its spire remains an iconic landmark in the valley. The optional luncheon for the tour will be held in the new hall where several local historic artifacts from the collection of the Washington Township Historical Society will be on display. Visitors will also be able to enjoy a tour of the church itself.
Visitors on the tour are encouraged to stop in the local businesses on the tour route including The Little Cake Bakehouse which will feature German chocolate cupcakes for the occasion.
To kick off the tour weekend, The Americana Troupe will perform a free concert at Zion Lutheran Church on Friday, October 4 at 7:30 p.m. Tickets for the house tour the next day will be available that evening.
The day of the tour the Garden Club of Long Valley will be selling heirloom and award winning bulbs at the museum. They have chosen bulbs that are not found at local retailers and were specially selected for years of success in Long Valley gardens. All are deer resistant and there is a variety across the season of bloom.
The Museum Store will be selling new items which include pottery pitchers to commemorate the 275th anniversary of Washington Township and the new Images of America book, Washington Township, Morris County, as well as notecards made of paintings done by a past resident, Jean Marshall Edwards.
House tour tickets are $20.00 each. To purchase tickets by mail make a check payable to the Washington Township Historical Society (WTHS). Please also include a self addressed stamped envelope and mail to: WTHS, PO Box 189, Long Valley, NJ 07853.

Mayor’s Left-Turn Attempt Causes Another Vehicle to Crash
Parsippany Mayor James Barberio’s attempt to make a left turn Monday morning, September 30, at 10:56 a.m., caused another vehicle to crash and injured one person, according to a police report.
Barberio was making a left from the northbound lane of Littleton Road to get onto Park Road according to the police report.
The other driver, Herman Myrick, 48, Union, was driving a white Mitsubishi in the left lane of Littleton Road southbound. The vehicle is owned by Pebco, LLC.
Myrick told police that Barberio seemed to hesitate in making the turn because he “started then stopped and then started again into (his) left turn before clearing the intersection.”
Myrick “veered to the right” to avoid Barberio, went onto the curb and then the front lawn at the home of 918 Littleton Road before hitting a traffic light and street sign, according to the police report.
Alcohol and drug tests were not administered and there there were no charges or summonses issued.
C&L Towing towed Myrick’s car from the scene.
Agnes Hogan’s Reading Garden at Northvail
Northvail School created a Reading Garden in Agnes Hogan’s memory. Mrs. Hogan was the Media Secretary for many years. She was dedicated to providing a scholastic environment for the students.
Mrs. Hogan was an esteemed colleague always willing to help the children and staff and a lifelong reader.
Miss Laura Centurrino, a second grade teacher, received a District Mini-Grant and used the funds to give Northvail’s courtyard a wonderful make over.
She was able to use some of the funds to purchase bushes, flowers and pavers to create a special corner reserved for Mrs. Hogan.
The PTA provided a sign in the garden that reads, “Mrs. Hogan’s Reading Room.” They also generously collected funds to purchase books. Mrs. Hogan’s family donated books as well.
To further add to the Media Center’s collection, Mrs. Connie Marchese, Northvail’s Media Specialist, placed a bookplate inside each donated book stating, “In memory of Agnes Hogan.”
With the addition of the reading garden, Northvail will continue Mrs. Hogan’s work. She was a remarkable woman who is as remembered for her calm and loving smile that always lit up the media center.
Now in her memory there is a pleasant place for the children and staff to sit and relax with a good book.

This is Dallas… Dallas is a bundle of pure sweetness!
Dallas has not had the greatest life thus far. She was left at a shelter when she was only six weeks old along with her siblings with a slim chance of making it out alive. The over pet population problem down south is just awful. The shelters are so overwhelmed and over burdened with so many unwanted dogs down there that because of a lack of space and loving homes, they only get 72 hours before they are euthanized.
Dallas and her siblings were one of the lucky ones that made it out because FHDR brought them up to New Jersey to live in foster homes. They were given a chance for a better life. Dallas was quickly adopted by a lovely family and we thought Dallas had found her furever home. Sadly, Dallas’s family could no longer care for her, so due to no fault of her own, Dallas is in search of a family or person to love her again.
Dallas is almost two years old and she is housebroken, healthy, spayed and up to date on all vetting. She is so loving and playful. She loves everyone….she is great with kids, loves other dogs and is ok with cats. This affectionate pup loves to give hugs and puppy kisses to everyone she meets. She is a happy go lucky pup with lots of energy with a tail that is always wagging.
Dallas likes to jump, run, fetches, plays frisbee, plays hide and go seek with her toys and she enjoys frolicking in water. She would be a wonderful companion for an active family that likes to run or hike. She loves the great outdoors! We think Dallas would be a good candidate for agility training too. And, we should mention that Dallas knows basic commands like….sit, stay, paw, down and come.
Dallas can’t wait to find her furever home! Can it be with you? If you have a furever home for this pet, please e-mail FureverHomeRescue@att.net and request an adoption application. www.petfinder.com/shelters/fhdr.html
