HILLSBOROUGH — The New Jersey Veterinary Medical Association (NJVMA) is now accepting nominations for the 24th Annual Animal Hall of Fame. The NJVMA Animal Hall of Fame distinguishes itself as the preeminent award honoring the human-animal bond, a reflection of the personal relationship between animals and their owners, in the state of New Jersey.

“Just like the winners inducted into the Animal Hall of Fame, this award is unique. Unlike most, it does not honor the best in show or the most agile. It honors the extraordinary in the ordinary; the everyday animals and individuals who achieve small accomplishments, with monumental results,” said Richard Alampi, Executive Director of the NJVMA.

For the past two decades, the NJVMA Animal Hall of Fame has recognized over 125 animals and animal welfare advocates in an effort to generate awareness of the veterinary profession in the state of New Jersey.

“Veterinarians recognize that the human-animal bond surpasses the exam room and can be seen in the ordinary interactions between animals and their owners,” explained Alampi. “This award is about the critical role that veterinarians play in supporting this powerful bond.”

To nominate an animal or animal welfare champion, please complete the NJVMA Animal Hall of Fame application which can be found on the NJVMA website by clicking here.  The submission deadline is November 16, 2018. Inductees will be honored at a public awards ceremony scheduled for Sunday, March 10, 2019 at the Hyatt Regency in Princeton.

To be considered, all nominations should include an official application signed by the animal’s owner or animal welfare nominee, the name and contact information of the nominee’s veterinarian, and a letter of nomination from the nominee’s owner or veterinarian explaining how the animal has exhibited special abilities or has demonstrated courage. Nominations may also include additional letters of support, photographs, videos, drawings, or newspaper clippings.

Founded in 1884, the New Jersey Veterinary Medical Association (NJVMA) is a professional association representing the state’s licensed veterinarians. The NJVMA is dedicated to advancing the veterinary profession in New Jersey. For more information click here.

2018 Morris County Board of Chosen Freeholders. Seated in front, Freeholder Director Doug Cabana and Deputy Director Christine Myers. Standing, from left, Freeholders John Cesaro, Kathy DeFillippo, Heather Darling, Deborah Smith and Tom Mastrangelo.

MORRIS COUNTY — The Morris County Board of Freeholders, in a unanimous vote this week, has adopted a new Morris County Strategic Plan that offers key goals and guiding principles for county government for the next decade.

The document was developed over the past year with the valued help of county and municipal government, education, health and medical, business, nonprofit, and innovation leaders from across Morris County, as well as valued advice from county residents.

It targets quality of life, economic development, infrastructure, public safety, health and human services, and the evolving role of county government in dealing with the needs of our residents in all 39 municipalities through the 2020s.

Freeholder Kathy DeFillippo

“Just as you have to prepare for a changing future at home and in your business lives, we in county government also have to plan for a changing future – one that changes very rapidly these days,’’ said Freeholder Christine Myers, who spearheaded the Strategic Plan effort, along with Freeholders Kathy DeFillippo and Deborah Smith. “We hope county government will use this document to guide it in prioritizing the needs of our residents in all 39 municipalities.’’

The Strategic Plan process included a comprehensive review of all aspects of county government and its connections to our residents, local governments, nonprofits, and the education and business communities.

Following a thorough analysis and review of the data, and subsequent discussions, the steering committee and freeholders created a priority list of strategic goals for the county. You can view the Strategic Plan by clicking here. 

“The goal of the Strategic Plan to ensure a bright future for Morris County, to maintain our high quality of life, strengthen the county’s economic backbone, and provide our residents with services they most prefer and need,’’ said Freeholder DeFillippo.

Freeholder Heather Darling

“We want to ensure that Morris County remains the premier place in New Jersey to live, work, go to school and raise a family,’’ said Freeholder Smith.

With the Strategic Plan now adopted, a follow-up implementation strategy is being finalized, and which will guide the county to achieve plan objectives.  In many areas, work by the county already has begun or has continued as a “design/build” method to achieve the objectives.

Freeholder Christine Myers

The county will continue to work in partnership with all 39 municipalities and the private sector in each of the critical areas of the Strategic Plan, and to achieve each of its important goals.

The Board of Freeholders began the strategic planning process in 2016. Working with JANUS Solutions as coordinator of this effort, the initial result was the development of a vision, mission and guiding principles for the county:

Vision:  Morris County will continue to be the premier place in which to live, work, and raise a family.  Our County will continue to build our vibrant and sustainable economy and preserve our natural resources and history.  We will honor our unique quality of life, assure a safe, well-maintained infrastructure and offer cultural and recreational opportunities for residents and visitors alike.  We will continue to offer compassionate support to those in need and maintain our tradition as a caring community.

Mission:  Morris County will protect and preserve the quality of life for all of Morris County, and ensure the effective, efficient and ethical stewardship of tax dollars.

Guiding Principles:  Morris County Government will:

  • Build upon our advantages of location, infrastructure, a diverse and talented workforce, safety, education, diversity and culture to maintain our way of life
  • Respect and protect the interests of taxpayers and utilize and exercise prudence in all financial matters
  • Execute all aspects of County business in the most ethical, effective, professional and transparent manner, with all actions and decisions focused on the most responsive and best interests of Morris County residents
  • Optimize the use of available funding, including providing shared or regionalized services
  • Provide strategic leadership, and balance short and long-term planning
  • Partner with our 39 municipalities to support their safety and quality of life
  • Assist and collaborate with our communities during times of need and/or crisis.

Statement from Governor Murphy on the Passing of Senator John McCain

Hanoi, Vietnam - October 11, 2014: Relief of a historic event when the A-4 Skyhawk of navy pilot John Sydney McCain was shot down in Hanoi sky on Oct. 26, 1967. McCain spent 5½ years in the Hanoi Hilton and was released in 1973.
TRENTON — Senator John Sidney McCain III died at 4:28 p.m. on Saturday, August 25. With the Senator when he passed were his wife Cindy and their family. At his death, he had served the United States of America faithfully for sixty years.
“During my time as Ambassador to Germany, I had the distinct pleasure of getting to know Senator John McCain well. He understood the importance of a strong American presence in the world, especially in maintaining our Transatlantic partnerships. In the Senate, he embodied the very American notion that we could disagree without losing our commonality, that we could compromise on policy without abandoning our principles — something that is rapidly becoming in short supply. Tammy and I send our deepest condolences to Cindy and the entire McCain family. Our nation has lost a hero and a guiding light,” said Governor Phil Murphy.

Senator John McCain’s remarkable record of leadership embodies his unwavering lifetime commitment to service. The son and grandson of distinguished Navy Admirals, Senator McCain graduated from the Naval Academy in 1958, and served as a Naval aviator for 22 years, including in North Vietnam during the Vietnam War.

On October 26, 1967, during Senator McCain’s 23rd bombing mission over North Vietnam, a missile struck his plane and forced him to eject, knocking him unconscious and breaking both his arms and his leg.

Senator McCain was taken as a prisoner of war into the now-infamous “Hanoi Hilton,” where he was denied needed medical treatment and subjected to years of torture by the North Vietnamese. He spent much of his time as a prisoner of war in solitary confinement, aided by his faith and the friendships of his fellow POWs.

When he was finally released and able to return home years later, Senator McCain continued his service by regaining his naval flight status.

His last Navy duty assignment was to serve as the naval liaison to the United States Senate. He retired from the Navy in 1981. His naval honors include the Silver Star, Bronze Star, Legion of Merit, Purple Heart, and the Distinguished Flying Cross.

Senator McCain was elected to the U.S. House of Representatives from Arizona in 1982 and elected to the United States Senate in 1986. He was the Republican Party’s nominee for president in the 2008 election.

Over the course of his career, Senator McCain served as Chairman of the Senate Committees on Indian Affairs, Commerce, Science and Transportation, and most recently, Armed Services.

PARSIPPANY — Meet our adorable little Shih Tzu, Alfredo! Alfredo was rescued from NYCACC as a medical case and we are so happy that he has made a full recovery and is ready for adoption!

Alfredo is eight years old and as spunky as could be! He loves going for walks, chilling in his bed, hanging out with his furry foster siblings, and cuddles! Fredo also has the coolest hair out of any dog we know 🙂

Fredo is trained to use the bathroom outside and will also use a wee wee pad if he has to go #1 during the day. He is great with dogs of all sizes, cats, and children above the age of ten.

While he still is dealing with the yeast infection that caused him to lose his hair, we know there’s a family out there that’s ok with giving him his baths and loving him while it grows back!
