Meet Ronaldo: A Tiny Puppy Looking for a Loving New Beginning

PARSIPPANY — WISE Animal Rescue is introducing Ronaldo, a 7-week-old Yorkshire Terrier and Chihuahua mix who is ready to find a loving forever home.

Ronaldo was born on April 27, 2026, and despite the name, this adorable puppy is female. She is still very young and learning about the world around her, making her an ideal match for a patient family ready to provide guidance, structure, affection, and consistency.

As with all puppies, Ronaldo is working on house training, crate training, and basic puppy manners. With positive reinforcement, patience, and continued socialization, she is expected to grow into a happy and well-adjusted companion.

Ronaldo would do well in a home with children, other dogs, and cats. Her ideal family would be one that is excited to include a new furry friend in daily activities while helping her build confidence through routine, training, play, and love.

WISE Animal Rescue works with partners to help dogs and puppies from large-scale breeding programs, including those who may have been overlooked due to medical needs, appearance differences, birth defects, or lack of demand. Through rescue, care, and placement, WISE gives these animals a second chance at safe and loving homes.

Anyone interested in adopting Ronaldo can visit WiseAnimalRescue.org to complete an adoption application. WISE is based in New Jersey and requires all potential adopters to come in person for adoptions.

PARSIPPANY — As part of the America 250 Week Celebration, residents are invited to attend a special Flag Raising Ceremony at Parsippany Town Hall on Monday, June 29, at 12:00 noon.

The ceremony will honor first responders, active-duty service members, and military veterans in recognition of their dedication and service to the nation and community.

The event will take place at Parsippany Town Hall, 1001 Parsippany Boulevard, Parsippany, New Jersey 07054. Community members are encouraged to attend and join in paying tribute to those who serve.

The ceremony is part of the nationwide observance commemorating the 250th anniversary of the United States and serves as an opportunity to recognize the sacrifices made by those who protect and defend the freedoms enjoyed by all Americans.

PARSIPPANY — In rural communities across the world, iron deficiency and anemia quietly affects millions, many of whom never receive a diagnosis. In Parsippany, families facing food insecurity often have nowhere to turn on a Sunday afternoon.

Medical Cadets, a youth-led New Jersey nonprofit corporation, is tackling these disparities.

Founded in 2024 and now operating across the United States, Canada, India, and Egypt, Medical Cadets has already touched more than 18,000 lives through on-the-ground health programs, community outreach, and targeted awareness campaigns. The organization is led by Founder and CEO Aaditya Jain alongside COO Abdalrahman Aboulmaged and a full director-level team spanning multiple countries. The full team is listed by clicking here.

Rooted in the belief that healthcare is a human right, not a privilege, the organization breaks its mission into annual, targeted campaigns backed by real community action.

On the Ground, Across the World

In India, Medical Cadets has launched active anemia and iron deficiency drives targeting rural, underserved communities, combining direct outreach, health education, and coordination with local leaders. These are not awareness campaigns from afar. The team is on the ground, in communities, doing the work.

Back in New Jersey, the chapter runs food drives, restaurant food recovery programs, and nutrition education sessions in elementary schools, partnering with local UNICEF chapters to make sure food and resources reach the families who need them most.

Small Actions, Massive Results

To fund its programs, Medical Cadets runs creative grassroots campaigns that directly engage the community:

• Community Car Wash: The team raised over $1,000 in under eight hours, bringing together local volunteers for a single afternoon of action.
• Artisan Goods & Cultural Events: The organization sells American-Indian fusion clothing and handmade goods sourced from artisans in India at South Asian cultural events, Garba nights, Diwali expos, and Navratri festivals, funding health programs while supporting livelihoods abroad.
• Digital Advocacy: Members design and publish educational social media content raising awareness on issues like childhood malnutrition and anemia while managing online donation channels.
• Professional Collaboration: The team actively partners with local pediatricians, nutritionists, and doctors to secure clinical expertise and community credibility.

The organization also received a $3,000 grant from the IB Global Youth Action Fund, competitive international recognition that validates both the mission and the model. Altogether, they have been able to raise $12,000+.

Expanding Opportunities for Student Leaders

Some local members from Parsippany High School: Ryan Cobeo, Ajayrathanam Rajarathnam, Cooper Otinsky, Ryan Rigor, Abdalrahman Aboulmaged, Nitin Venkatiahgari, Rutva Amin, James Melluse, Nisha Patel, Dhara Patel, Krishi Shah, and Lilah Merrick.

Medical Cadets is not just looking for helping hands, it is a launchpad for young people pursuing careers in healthcare, science, and nonprofit leadership. Students can plug into four core branches:

• Internship Programs: Hands-on experience managing health campaigns, large-scale fundraising, and nonprofit operations
• Educational Workshops: Interactive sessions where students explore real-world medical skills and healthcare career paths
• Scientific Research: Students investigate pressing global health challenges and develop science-backed solutions
• Community Lectures: Educational talks spreading preventative health knowledge across neighborhoods

What’s Next

As summer approaches, Medical Cadets is gearing up for health workshops, expanded food drives, and community walkathons to promote wellness and raise medical aid funds. Plans are also underway to grow the Canada chapter under new student leadership.

PARSIPPANY — A Mountain Lakes man was arrested and charged with driving while intoxicated following a traffic stop on Route 46 West in Parsippany late on the night of April 8.

According to the Parsippany-Troy Hills Police Department, Ptl. Jesse Hughes was on patrol on Route 46 East near Parsippany Boulevard when he observed a grey 2021 Audi Q7 make a left turn from Parsippany Boulevard onto Route 46 West while a red left turn arrow was displayed. During the turn, the vehicle nearly struck another car that was traveling southbound through the intersection on a green light.

Officers activated emergency lights and conducted a motor vehicle stop on Route 46 West just prior to Waterview Boulevard. According to police, the vehicle took longer than normal to pull over. Ptl. Ribaudo also responded to the scene.

The driver was identified as Ronald S. Kramer, 66, of Mountain Lakes. Officers reported that Kramer provided both a New Jersey driver’s license and a New York driver’s license and had difficulty producing his registration and insurance documents.

According to police, officers detected signs of impairment during the stop. Officers administered standardized field sobriety tests. Kramer was subsequently placed under arrest for driving while intoxicated.

Notably, police reported that Kramer refused to submit to a chemical breath test, which carries separate penalties under New Jersey law.

Kramer was charged with driving while intoxicated, refusal to submit to a chemical test, consent to take samples of breath, reckless driving, and failure to observe a traffic control device. He was transported to police headquarters for processing.

The incident was investigated by Ptl. Jesse Hughes of the Parsippany-Troy Hills Police Department.

PARSIPPANY — A Boonton teenager was arrested and charged with driving while intoxicated following a hit-and-run crash on Littleton Road in Morris Plains on April 24.

According to the Parsippany-Troy Hills Police Department, officers responded to the area of Littleton Road and Dartford Road around 7:00 p.m. for a report of a motor vehicle crash with injuries. Authorities said one of the vehicles involved had left the scene before officers arrived.

Police said the driver of the first vehicle, identified as a 2021 Honda CR-V, told officers she was struck from behind while merging and that the second vehicle fled the scene. A witness reported seeing the second vehicle speed around traffic before striking the rear of the Honda.

Officers located the second vehicle, a 2009 Mercedes-Benz, a short distance away on the Route 80 West ramp from Littleton Road with heavy front-end damage. The driver was identified as Fabricio Bueso Jimenez, 18, of Boonton.

According to police, Jimenez appeared unaware that his vehicle had been involved in a crash. Officers reported detecting the odor of alcohol and observing signs of impairment, including slurred speech and bloodshot eyes. After conducting field sobriety tests, officers arrested Jimenez on suspicion of driving while intoxicated.

Jimenez was transported to police headquarters, where a breath test reportedly showed a blood alcohol concentration of .241 percent.

He was charged with driving while intoxicated, reckless driving, failure to report an accident, leaving the scene of an accident involving injury, operating a vehicle with an open container of alcohol, and driving while intoxicated on school property or within 1,000 feet of a school. He was also issued a summons for failing to possess an insurance card.

The driver of the first vehicle was assessed by EMS at the scene for complaints of back pain but refused further medical treatment.

The vehicle driven by Jimenez was towed by Eagle Towing. He was later released to a family member following processing.

TRENTON — Legislation sponsored by Senate Republican Leader Anthony M. Bucco that would increase criminal penalties for assaults against seniors and people with disabilities has advanced out of the Senate Judiciary Committee.

The bill, S-271, would upgrade certain assaults when the victim is a person with a disability or a senior citizen age 60 or older. Under the measure, a person who causes bodily injury to one of these victims would be charged with aggravated assault, a third-degree crime, and face a mandatory minimum prison term of three years. If the victim suffers significant or serious bodily injury, the offense would rise to a second-degree crime.  

“Our seniors and residents with disabilities deserve to feel safe in their communities,” Bucco said. “When someone deliberately causes harm to a person who may be less able to defend themselves, the punishment should reflect the seriousness of that offense. This bill ensures that those who commit these acts will be prosecuted and when convicted will serve time in jail.”  

The legislation is co-sponsored by Senator Shirley K. Turner, who said the bill is intended to strengthen protections for vulnerable residents and ensure the justice system treats these crimes with appropriate seriousness.  

According to legislative sponsors, the bill was prompted in part by violent attacks involving elderly and disabled victims, including the assault of a Trenton man with an intellectual disability who was left permanently injured, as well as attacks on elderly victims during robberies and home invasions.  

S-271 was pre-filed for the 2026 legislative session and referred to the Senate Judiciary Committee on January 13, 2026. The committee advanced the measure on June 11, 2026.  

WHIPPANY — The Morris County Library will host the Morris County Traveling Mural Project on Tuesday, July 7, 2026, from 7:00 p.m. to 8:30 p.m. at the library, located at 30 East Hanover Avenue, Whippany.

The free event is part of Morris County’s celebration of America’s 250th anniversary and invites residents to take part in a collaborative public art project honoring the county’s history, communities, and shared heritage.

The program will begin with an introduction by artists Kadie Dempsey and Dan Fenelon, who will discuss the mural project, the creative process, and the historical inspiration behind the work. After the presentation, members of the public will be invited to pick up a brush and help paint a portion of the mural.

The Traveling Mural Project is designed to move throughout Morris County, allowing residents and visitors to contribute directly to the artwork as it evolves from stop to stop. The mural highlights themes tied to Morris County’s history, including its Revolutionary War legacy, local communities, landmarks, agriculture, industry, arts, culture, and open space.  

The project is being developed through Morris County’s 250th anniversary efforts in partnership with the Morris County Tourism Bureau and Core Creative Placemaking. A community visioning session held earlier this year at the Morris Museum helped shape the mural’s design and themes.  

PARSIPPANY — Local author Adria Howard-Moore has published her second book, Loved with an Everlasting Love, a collection of inspirational devotions designed to encourage readers facing life’s challenges.

Released on June 3, 2026, the book offers short daily messages intended to teach, uplift, and inspire. Howard-Moore, a cancer survivor who is also visually impaired, draws from her own experiences overcoming adversity to share messages of hope and perseverance. Rather than focusing on life’s difficulties, she encourages readers to look beyond frustrations, setbacks, and pain to find purpose and strength.

The new publication follows her first book, From Breast Cancer to Blessed Answer – One Woman’s Journey from Diagnosis to Tattoos, in which she chronicled her personal battle with breast cancer and the lessons she learned throughout her journey.

Howard-Moore says her goal is to help others realize they are not alone as they navigate their own challenges.

“These short daily messages teach, uplift, and challenge the reader to look beyond the frustrations, defeats, and pain,” Howard-Moore noted in the book’s announcement.

Both Loved with an Everlasting Love and From Breast Cancer to Blessed Answer are available through WestBow Press, as well as through major booksellers including Barnes & Noble and Amazon.
