parsippany focusDear Editor:

The Woman’s Club of Parsippany-Troy Hills (WCPTH) held its 37th Annual “Tee Off for Education Golf Classic and Luncheon” on Tuesday, July 10 at the Knoll West Country Club. Our club members were very pleased with the results, that provides WCPTH with funds to support various educational projects throughout the year such as scholarships for graduating seniors at both Parsippany High Schools, 8th Grade Citizenship Awards and 5th Grade Reading Awards. This could not be accomplished without the generous support of local merchants who provide prizes and sponsorships for this event. All the proceeds from this fundraiser benefit the children in our community. We would like to thank the merchants as well as the Parsippany-Troy Hills Fire Department, District 6, for supplying us with ice that kept the bottled water cold for the golfers. Once again thank you for your generous support.

Joan Garbarino and Diana Freidinger, Co-Presidents

Christie speaks at Morris County GOP Unity Breakfast

MOUNTAIN LAKES — Governor Chris Christie was the keynote speaker on Tuesday, July 17, at the Morris County Republican Club Unity Breakfast held at Zeris Inn.

The fundraiser was billed as a unity breakfast after a contentious race for county chairman.  Ron DeFilippis, who was Christie’s appointee to the New Jersey Election Law Enforcement Commission, defeated Rob Zwigard.

Ronald DeFilippis, Chairman Morris County Republican Club

Christie has been keeping a low public profile since leaving the Governors Office on January 16, but with Democrats making much noise in his home county of Morris, the former governor couldn’t stay silent.

Christie began his political career in Morris County when he won a seat on the Board of Freeholders in 1994. He lost a Republican primary for State Assembly in 1995 and was defeated in his bid for re-election to a second term as freeholder in 1997. He won huge pluralities in Morris County when he ran for Governor in 2009 and 2013.

More than 250 people attended the breakfast, including virtually all county and state elected officials representing parts of Morris County.

Two Morris County congressional seats are in danger of flipping Democratic: the 11th, where Representative Rodney Frelinghuysen is retiring, and the 7th, where Representative Leonard Lance faces a tough re-election campaign. In the 11th district Jay Webber is running against Democrat Miki Sherill. Three freeholder seats are up in November, as well as what is becoming an interesting race for county clerk.  Democrats haven’t elected a county clerk since before the Civil War.

Christie said “I’ve been a winner in this county and a loser. I’ve supported winners who won county committee votes by one vote and I supported losers who lost county committee votes by two votes. It’s never fun to lose, it sucks. Winning’s always better. Believe me, it’s always better, but I’ll tell you what’s worse. Losing in November is always worse than losing in June. When you lose in June, there is still light at the end of the tunnel for you and there are people who are on our county ballot this year that can prove that. Won before and lost before. If you’re persistent, if you have good ideas, if you got good energy, you can always come back and because of our open system, you’re not precluded from doing that. There’s not a group of people will sit in the corner of that room over here and decide your day is over. You have the right to run, but by the same token everybody, if you have that, then you got to be with the people who the people support.”

Morris County Clerk Ann Grossi is up for re-election in November

“I want you to remember this and whenever any Democrat comes up to you and talks about how our party is finished in New Jersey and we are relevant and there’s nothing for us to do any more, remind them of this. There hasn’t been a two term democratic Governor in 40 years, but there’s been three two term Republican governors. Think about that. Why? Because in the end we need a Democrat every once in awhile as Governor to remind the people in this day just how good we are,” he said.

“Losing in November is always worse than losing in June,” Christie said.

Township Council renews liquor licenses throughout Parsippany

PARSIPPANY — The Township of Parsippany-Troy Hills Township Council recently approved renewals for the township liquor license establishments.

The applications for renewal for licensing term, July 1, 2018 through June 30, 2019, have been filed by the following Retail Liquor Licensees, and the application forms are complete in all respects and the applicants are qualified to be licensed according to all statutory, regulatory and local governmental ABC laws and regulations.

The number of licenses to sell alcohol for consumption on a licensed premises (restaurants and bars) and to sell alcohol for off premise consumption (packaged goods) within a municipality is determined based upon the population. A municipality may issue one consumption license for every 3,000 of its population. As to distribution licenses, which allow the sale of alcohol for off premise consumption, a municipality may issue one license for every 7,500 of its population. A municipality is allowed to ban all sales of alcohol within its borders if it so desires.

A license which becomes inactive and is no longer sited at a business premises becomes a “pocket” license. At the time a pocket license is reactivated, the licensee must file an application for a place-to-place transfer of the license so that it may be sited at the new active business address. Currently Parsippany has two pocketed licenses.

In New Jersey a person must be 21 years of age or older to legally purchase or consume any alcoholic beverage on a licensed premises. There is absolutely no exception to this. (N.J.S.A. 9:17B-1) However, persons under the age of 21 can legally drink in connection with a religious ceremony or at home under parental supervision.

Some interesting facts about serving alcohol

The lawful age to own a license and to purchase alcoholic beverage products for resale under a license privilege is 18 years of age, (N.J.S.A. 9:17B-1).

Bartender, waiter or sales clerk: 18 years old

Entertainer: 18 years old

Restaurant & hotel worker not selling alcohol: 16 years old

Stock clerk in distribution licensee: 15 years old

Caddy or pin setter: 15 years old

Waiter (not selling alcohol) for consumption licensee which is not restaurant or hotel: 16 years old

Although a person must be 18 years of age to be employed as an entertainer (includes members of a band, etc.), N.J.S.A. 34:2-2 I.17, et seq., provides for the employment of younger persons in certain “theatrical productions.” This is under the jurisdiction of the New Jersey Department of Labor.

To qualify as a restaurant, the establishment must regularly and principally be used for the purpose of providing meals to the public, having an adequate kitchen and dining room equipped for the preparing, cooking and serving of food for its customers and in which no other business, except such as is incidental to such establishment, is conducted. As a rough rule of thumb, to qualify as a restaurant, the establishments should have table (i.e. “sit-down”) service with a full service menu, proper and adequate equipment to be considered a bona fide restaurant (e.g., food freezers, dish washer, oven, etc.) and the majority of its business revenues should be from the sale of prepared food for consumption on the premises, with revenue from the sale of alcoholic beverages merely being ancillary thereto.

Permits for the employment of minors under 18 years of age must first be obtained from the Division of ABC before (or within ten days) such persons are employed on a licensed premises.

These rules, including the requirements for permits, apply to children of licensees as well, if they are employed on the licensed premises in any capacity.

Non-licensed restaurants are permitted to allow customers to bring their own alcoholic beverages (BYOB) for consumption with their meals. Unless there is a local ordinance prohibiting it, customers of an unlicensed restaurant may be permitted by the ownership of the restaurant to bring and consume only wine and beer. The restaurant can supply glasses, ice, etc., but may not impose a cover, corkage or service charge. Also, under no circumstances may spirituous liquor be permitted. There may be no advertising whatsoever of the fact that wine or beer may be permitted. Additionally, the owner may not permit wine or beer to be consumed during hours in which the sale of these products is prohibited by licensees in that municipality, nor allow consumption of beer or wine by persons under the age of 21 years or by persons who are actually or apparently drunk or intoxicated. (N.J.S.A. 2C:33-27).

Can parents be held responsible for their minor children who consume alcohol? Yes. A parent or guardian having legal custody of a person under 18 years of age is required to exercise reasonable supervision or control over that person in connection with the consumption of alcohol.

If a parent or legal guardian fails or neglects to exercise reasonable supervision or control over the conduct of the person under 18 years of age, for a first offense the parent or legal guardian shall be notified of the violation in writing. If the person under 18 years of age is caught a second or subsequent time, the parent or legal guardian shall be subject to a $500 fine.

New Jersey ABC law allows a liquor license to be held “in pocket” for a limited period of time. The term “in pocket” means that the liquor license is not being actually used, but can be sold or transferred to a different location for later use within a particular municipality.

Editors Note: Although these guidelines were reprinted from the New Jersey Division of Alcoholic Beverage Control (ABC) website, these guidelines are for reference only, and you should consult with appropriate authorities for actual law. These guidelines are not the entire ABC laws governing the sale and/or consumption of alcoholic beverages.

Kiwanis Club donates to Prevent Child Abuse New Jersey

PARSIPPANY — During April the Kiwanis Club of Greater Parsippany participated in Child Abuse Prevention Month by setting up pinwheel gardens and displays, with the first one set up at the Parsippany Town Hall and followed by a second display set up at the Parsippany IHOP on Route 46. They planted a total of 13 pinwheel gardens throughout Parsippany.

Karen DeChristopher, Co-Chair of Young Children Priority One, presented Pamela Stalcup with a $1,000 donation to Prevent Child Abuse New Jersey in support of “Great Childhoods” for all New Jersey children. Pictured with Karen is Committee person Joyce Garrow, Carol Tiesi, Julie Scarano-Debrossy, Kiwanis Club of Greater Parsippany Foundation President Greg Elbin, Kiwanis Club of Greater Parsippany President Frank Cahill. Co-Chair Nicolas Limanov is not pictured.

And while the pinwheel can do many things — bring smiles, lift spirits, call for healthy starts for all children — the one thing it cannot do is move on its own.  Be the force that makes it move, bringing about real change for children in the United States.  Protecting our children is everyone’s job…it’s your turn to make a difference!

(C) 2018 Parsippany Focus
Ava Arthurs placing a pinwheel in the garden

Since 1983, April has been a time to acknowledge the importance of families and communities working together to prevent child abuse.  As we look upon the faces of the many children in our communities and think about all of the children around the world that suffer at the hands of others, let’s remember that April may be Child Abuse Prevention Month, but unfortunately abuse happens every day.  That is why every year, during the month of April, communities across the country come together to focus on this startling issue and on the need for widespread prevention and public awareness campaigns to reduce the number of children who, sadly, are victims of abuse.  Close to 700,000 children were victims of child abuse; and almost 1,700 children died as a result of abuse or neglect.

Karen DeChristopher, President-Elect and Co-Director of the Kiwanis “Young Children Priority One” program who has lead this campaign for the past four years explained, “As an organization that focuses on children, there is one goal that we are looking to achieve…to raise awareness of the many ways people can get involved in the fight against child abuse:  First, we can get educated, so you can learn to recognize the signs of child abuse, so you can be that one person with courage to step up for these children and report abuse when you suspect it.  Secondly, you can volunteer or support your child advocacy centers (Prevent Child Abuse-NJ) by calling to determine how you can support them, because every children’s advocacy center can benefit from your support for their programs and services they provide to child victims of abuse and neglect.  And lastly, but most importantly we must help break the silence surrounding child abuse by raising awareness and spreading the word.  These children deserve a voice, because this problem has been overlooked for far too long and you can open the doors on this crime of secrecy, because we can all make a difference for these children.”

To learn more about what you can do to help prevent child abuse, contact Pamela Stalcup, Director of Development & Communications for Prevent Child Abuse-NJ at (732) 246-8060 or click here.

Kiwanis is a global organization of volunteers dedicated to changing the world one child and one community at a time.  It is not religious based or partisan in any way. The Kiwanis Club of Greater Parsippany meets every Thursday at 7:15 a.m. at the Empire Diner, 1315 Route 46.  We are 70 members strong and growing.  New members are always welcome.

Ricky is still waiting to be adopted

PARSIPPANY — Hi there! My name is Ricky! I am a four-year old Pit mix who can provide a family with LOTS of love! My story is a bit sad but I’m ready to make my life the best life ever! I was surrendered to the rescue because my brother had badly injured me multiple times. My mom made the hard decision to give me up so I can be safe and happy!

I am a very sweet boy who aims to please. I am the friendliest dog out there as I greet every person with a wagging tail and a smile on my face! I am silly and have the cutest habits that can make anyone laugh!

I love to go on walks! My body will just start wiggling and I can’t control myself from getting so excited! I love walks almost as much as I love my tennis balls. I will carry around my favorite ball in my mouth as if it is my baby! I could play fetch forever…well at least until it’s nap time. My foster dad says I am quite the cuddle bug and could lay next to you on the couch or snuggled up in bed for hours!

I absolutely LOVE other dogs. It would be amazing if I could go home with another brother or sister! It is fair to say that I am a social butterfly when it comes to my fellow canines. I have never been around cats. Because of my excitableness, it is best I go home with kids above the age of 10.

I enjoy hanging out in my crate and prefer to be in there when I am left alone. I am also fully house trained!

Everyone tells me how much of a good boy I am. I hope they are right because I really want to find my forever family soon!

The quarter brings Sherrill’s total raise to $4.2 million and she heads into the general election with $2.9 million cash on hand.

“The priorities of our campaign continue to resonate in this community,” said Sherrill. “Tax relief, quality and affordable healthcare, and growing New Jersey’s economy are top concerns for the people of New Jersey. I am incredibly honored to have the support of so many Americans who are ready for new leadership in Congress that puts people first. Our campaign is going to continue working hard to talk to all residents of the 11th District and earn their vote in November.“

The report further highlights Sherrill’s strong fundraising abilities. She previously set the New Jersey fundraising record for U.S. House candidates by raising $1.1 million in the first quarter of 2018.

As a U.S. Navy veteran, former prosecutor, and mother of four, Mikie Sherrill is focused on bringing new leadership to Congress. She will work with Republicans and Democrats to restore the full state and local tax deduction for New Jersey taxpayers, work to fix the Affordable Care Act to bring down health care costs, and focus on creating good paying jobs in New Jersey.

Furever Home Dog Rescue needs foster homes

RANDOLPH — Furever Home Dog Rescue needs foster homes!  As a shelterless rescue, we don’t have a building where our dogs are housed until they get adopted.  We are lucky enough to have loving foster families who open their hearts and homes to our dogs until they are placed. However,  we need more foster homes so we can save more dogs! You can try it once and see how rewarding it can be, you even get to pick the puppy or dog you want to foster!

Fosters open their homes (usually a month or two on average) to foster a pup until they are adopted to their furever homes.  Fostering is a rewarding experience and you will help save a dogs life. There are puppies, young dogs, adult dogs and special needs dogs of different breeds that need foster homes, and our foster families choose the type of pup they want to foster.

Every month we save dozens of wonderful dogs from the southern kill shelters or the Caribbean kill shelter and place them in safe, nurturing homes.  Please consider joining us in the effort to help even more of these wonderful dogs get a second chance, we would love to have you!

With your help, we can save more dogs from being euthanized simply because there is a lack of space at the shelter. If you would like to be a part of our rescue efforts and are interested in short term fostering, please email Camille at FHDR@att.net.

The more fosters we have, the more dogs we can save!

Parsippany Chamber hosts workshop on “Workplace Harassment”

PARSIPPANY — Parsippany Area Chamber of Commerce hosted it’s monthly “Lunch Dozen Networking Series.” Founder and CEO Taryn Abrahams presented a workshop on “Workplace Harassment: Creating Social Change,” on Wednesday, July 11.
