MORRIS COUNTY — The Morris County Prosecutor’s Office and the League of Women Voters of the Morristown Area are teaming up to hold a special forum on the growing problem of opiate and heroin abuse in the nation, state and Morris County.
The forum, entitled, “A Community Conversation: Stemming the Rising Tide of Opioid Abuse,’’ will be held on Wednesday, May 25, from 7:00 to 9:00 p.m. at the Alexander Hamilton School, at 24 Mills Street, Morristown.
It follows recent heroin and opiate sessions held in Montville and Hanover townships, and the recent Morris County Heroin Summit 2016 held in Rockaway Township.
“We need to understand how this problem affects every one of us,’’ said Louise Murray, Vice President of the League of Women Voters Morristown Area. “We need to come together as a community to protect ourselves and each other.’’
“It is essential that we, as a community, become informed about this epidemic and that law enforcement, the medical community, addiction treatment professionals and the community at large discuss this problem and work on solutions to enhance prevention and encourage drug treatment for the addicted,” said Morris County Prosecutor Fredric A. Knapp.
According to Morris County law enforcement officials, we are in the midst of a heroin and opiate epidemic, with no state hit harder than New Jersey. Overdose deaths are now the leading cause of accidental death, with more Americans dying every year from overdoses than from motor vehicle crashes.
Addiction to prescription opioid painkillers is the primary factor fueling heroin addiction.
“The county Freeholder Board strongly supports the continuing effort of the prosecutor and community groups, like the League of Women Voters, in Morris County to deal with substances that are plaguing our young people, and hurting their families and communities,’’ sad Morris County Freeholder Director Kathy DeFillippo. “We must attack this issue in Morris County with facts, knowledge and public awareness.’’
Healthcare professionals write 250 million opioid painkiller prescriptions annually. The availability and misuse of prescription opioids combined with the low cost, potent heroin that has become easily accessible, is driving an increased demand for and use of heroin and ultimately claiming the lives of thousands of Americans.
Admission into New Jersey licensed substance abuse facilities has increased dramatically. More people are seeking treatment for addiction than there are available slots at treatment facilities.
Neighborhoods are plagued with burglaries, thefts and violent crimes as heroin addicts commit these offenses to feed their habit. Morris County is not immune from these staggering statistics.
Heroin can be purchased cheaply and easily in Morris County, said Prosecutor Knapp. It’s inexpensive, available and very deadly, as evidenced by 43 people who died from heroin or opiate overdose in Morris County in 2015.
Panelists at the May 25 forum, to be moderated by Louise Murray, will include:
PARSIPPANY — Volunteer group known as the Friends of the Parsippany Library has raised funds and advocated for funding on behalf of the Parsippany-Troy Hills Public Library and its branches, in Lake Hiawatha and Mount Tabor.
The Friends of the Parsippany Library is a 501(c)(3) organization and part of a national association of Friends and Trustees called United for Libraries. Most New Jersey public libraries have dynamic friends groups and many directors have been heard to comment: “I don’t know what the library would do without our Friends!”
The Friends of the Parsippany Library supported a state-wide initiative called a postcard campaign to ask for additional funding.
About twelve years ago, the Friends joined the library board members in advocating to the town council for funding for a new main library and those advocacy efforts resulted in the Parsippany Library, dedicated in 2006.
The Friends of the Library have been responsible for funding events, services, and equipment that the library cannot afford to fund through its operating budget.
For example, the Friends paid for professional speakers to lead a film series discussion at the Lake Hiawatha Library; furniture for the Mount Tabor branch; supplies and special performance programming for the summer reading program at all three locations.
Most recently, the Friends underwrote the cost of a speaker for the Yogi Berra program at the Parsippany Library. Through the years, the Friends have also purchased many different kinds of equipment from DVD players to computers, printers and Kindles.
Now the library is looking for additional friends who can assume officer positions.
They are looking for a president, vice president, secretary, and treasurer. Job descriptions can be found on the library’s website. Essentially these officers attend monthly meetings (at a time and day of the week agreed upon by the officers); solicit ideas and preside over the fundraising activities of the Friends; encourage involvement in the Book Nook and any other of the Friends activities.
This is one job where no experience is necessary. The time commitment involved includes: one, two-hour orientation session; one meeting a month for one and a half hours and time and energy to create fundraisers that benefit the library; and participation in these fundraisers.
Those who are interested may send an email to friendsofficers@parsippanylibrary.org and list the officer position in which they are most interested and include their name and contact information. A library committee will evaluate the responses and meet with all applicants. Click here for membership details.

PARSIPPANY — Frank Cahill, representing Kafe Mozart, presented Kiwanis Club of Greater Parsippany with a check with a donation from the “Dine for Dollars” program held at the restaurant. The check was a fundraiser for “National Child Abuse Prevention Program.”
Kafe Mozart offers the opportunity to non-profit groups to hold fundraisers every Monday to receive a percentage of the days proceeds.
Karen DeChristopher, chairman of Young Children Priority One, said “It was a great opportunity to help raise funds for ‘National Child Abuse Prevention Program.’ ”
The Kiwanis Club of Greater Parsippany participated in the annual Pinwheels For Prevention event. Karen DeChristopher and the committee, Young Children Priority One, has placed signs and pinwheels throughout Parsippany. These pinwheels represent abused children of Parsippany-Troy Hills.
Why Pinwheels for Prevention? For decades, market research consistently has shown that the public views child abuse and neglect as a serious problem. As a national organization whose mission is “to prevent the abuse and neglect of our nation’s children,” Kiwanis’ emphasis is to transform that awareness into action. We now have that opportunity through the pinwheel, which reminds us of childlike notions and stands for the chance at the healthy, happy and full lives all children deserve.
Kiwanis views this as part of their mission statement “changing the world one child and one community at a time” When you drive throughout Parsippany and see these pinwheels, take time to reflect on all the abused children in the world.
Kafe Mozart is located at 2900 Route 10 West, Powder Mill Plaza West, Parsippany.

MORRIS COUNTY — Republican freeholder candidates Lou Valori, Roman Hirniak and Peter King, the Morris County United team, said character matters and that it’s time for politicians in Morris County to stop circling the wagons in an attempt to protect the status quo.
In a recent news report that states Tom Mastrangelo “filed criminal complaints” against the Morris County United Team for allegedly releasing certain expunged records pertaining to Mastrangelo’s past.
Morris County United campaign manager, Steve Kush, said, “We dismiss any such allegations as the latest in a long line of attempts by Freeholder Mastrangelo to intimidate the Morris United Team. This is par for the course from someone with a history of leadership through fear and intimidation. I have retained counsel, who advises that both the law and the facts of this matter are in our favor. Moreover, counsel is exploring the commencement of a civil action against Tom Mastrangelo for malicious prosecution and all available remedies.”
“The real issue is character, meaning of moral excellence. Lou Valori, Roman Hirniak and Peter King are three men of character,” Kush said. “Lou Valori retired from the U.S. Army Reserves as a Lieutenant Colonel and was deployed in support of Operation Enduring Freedom and Operation Iraqi Freedom. Roman Hirniak is a very active member of his community and serves as a Pedagogical Advisor to the Ukranian Educational Council. Peter King, a former Captain in the U.S. Army, was in active combat during the Persian Gulf War and earned various medals, including a Bronze Star. I am proud to stand with these men and sincerely hope their character and high moral standards rub off on me.”
“The difference between candidates in this race is clear,” Kush explained. “Three men who do what is best for their country and their communities or a bunch of politicians circling the wagons around a man hiding behind lawyers in an attempt to prevent voters from judging his character.”
“William Shakespeare said, ‘the past is prologue’ and I believe it,” Parsippany Council President Lou Valori said, “From the very first time I ran for office I knew going into the campaign my life would be under a microscope, and it should be, as should any candidate’s. Considering an extra officer from the Sheriff’s Department was assigned to freeholder meetings after an incident between Mastrangelo and another freeholder, character is very important in this race.”
“I agree, character does matter, which is why I feel it is important to set the record straight regarding certain events that were recently reported.” Randolph Township Mayor Roman Hirniak explained, “In a recent news report, Assemblyman Bucco claimed he spoke with me after a breakfast event. I have no idea why Tony would say something like that. I arrived at the breakfast event very late, coming from the Township Little League Opening Day Parade, and certainly didn’t chat with him either during or after the presentation.”
“Freeholders Cabana and DeFillippo, as well as John Krickus, should all stop protecting Tom Mastrangelo,” land use expert and municipal prosecutor Peter King stated. “They should welcome transparency. They should stop protecting the status quo. They aren’t and instead choose to protect one another, just as they did during the years when all four of them sat on the Freeholder Board together. The people of Morris County deserve better.”
