Morris County Prosecutor’s Office Partners with Free Naloxone Distribution Initiative
MORRIS COUNTY — Morris County Prosecutor Fredric Knapp announces that starting September 24 through September 26 participating pharmacies across Morris County will be making naloxone (“NARCAN”), which is an opioid-overdose reversal drug, available for free and without a prescription or appointment, to anyone requesting the same.
Inquiring individuals, who can remain anonymous, will be entitled to one naloxone pack containing two doses, on a first-come, first-serve basis. This is part of a statewide initiative sponsored by the State of New Jersey.
New Jersey Governor Phil Murphy, New Jersey Attorney General S. Gurbir Grewal, the Office of the New Jersey Coordinator for Addiction Responses and Enforcement Strategies (NJ CARES), and the New Jersey Department of Human Services are sponsoring this free naloxone program throughout the State of New Jersey. This is the second such distribution, a part of the State’s continued efforts to combat the opioid crisis. In June 2019, residents received 32,000 doses of naloxone.
Those who obtain naloxone will also be given information regarding addiction treatment and recovery through Reach NJ, a 24-hour-a-day, 7 day-a-week addictions hotline where people who have Substance Use Disorder (SUD) or friends and family of people with SUD can get immediate assistance and support from live, New Jersey-based, trained addiction counselors. Live staff members are available by calling the toll-free number, 844-ReachNJ (732-2465).
The participating pharmacies in Focus readership are:
Acme Pharmacy, 550 Myrtle Ave., Boonton
ShopRite Pharmacy of Greater Morristown, 178 East Hanover Avenue, Cedar Knolls
Towne Pharmacy, 103 Ridgedale Avenue, Cedar Knolls
Sav-On Pharmacy, 329 Speedwell Avenue, Morris Plains
For a full list of participating pharmacies click here.
Associate Director Melody Runyon of Prevention is Key (PIK) said “Naloxone is invaluable when it comes to giving those with an opioid use disorder another chance to find a life of recovery. Ready availability is key. As a result of Morris County’s Narcan 2.0 and law enforcement Administration of Naloxone, Prevention is Key/CARES Peer Recovery Specialists have responded to nearly 700 overdoses at county hospitals with 473 individuals accepting recovery support services. Without naloxone, these individuals would never have had this opportunity to change their life.”

Letter to the Editor: Please Vote for John Titus and his Running Mates
Dear Editor:
I have known John Titus for the past several years. We are peers, and we are friends and I do not use the term ‘friend’ lightly. It has been my experience that friends are hard to come by; some people will say they help whenever needed, but do not. However, John will be there when he is called upon. John is diligent, prudent, temperate, and discreet.
When I first met John, he had a quiet presence, observing and learning all that was going on around him. Soon thereafter, John would make suggestions on various different events or fundraisers, and, if any crisis came about, with a level head, he would offer and see a solution to its fruition.
John possesses leadership qualities and has the fortitude to see them enacted. He is kind and compassionate, yet reserved, and has an ability to make friends quickly and easily wherever he goes. He has a great sense of humor but knows his bounds not to offend anyone.
As a long time, Parsippany resident, I definitely feel that John Titus would bring value to the Parsippany Board of Ed, and I highly recommend him for the position.
Please vote for John Titus and his running mates, Aisha Mahmood and Nilesh Bagdai, 4-5-6 For Parsippany BOE.

Trump Rallies Attract Hundreds
PARSIPPANY — On Saturday, September 12, hundreds of Trump supporters participated in two rallies to support Trump and the Republican Party.
Event organizer Beth Figueira, a Mount Olive resident, began organizing the event after the first rally was publicly advertised. The first rally organized by Harry Martin brought hundreds of supported followers gathering along Route 46 at the Baldwin Road Intersection.
“This is the most important election I have been involved in,” Figueira said. “I wanted to bring people together.”
![](https://i0.wp.com/parsippanyfocus.com/uploadedmedia/2020/09/IMG_0734.jpg?resize=696%2C464&ssl=1)
Justin Musella, 29, President of the Morris County Young Republicans, delivered the first speech at the rally held at Veterans Park. Musella, a senior business development manager for an international corporation, stressed the importance of the upcoming elections.
Before an estimated crowd of around 1,000, Musella stated “I stand before you today to deliver a message that every single person needs to hear; you must vote, you must get your family to vote, and you must get your friends to vote. A future where the Democrats win has never been scarier and if they win it will not be ‘mostly peaceful.’ The time for arguing is over and the time to act has come.”
![](https://i0.wp.com/parsippanyfocus.com/uploadedmedia/2020/09/IMG_0740.jpg?resize=696%2C464&ssl=1)
After Musella, several other guests of honor spoke, including Parsippany-Troy HillsCouncil President Michael DePierro, 11th District Congressional Candidate Rosemary Becchi, and 9th District Congressional Candidate Billy Prempeh. Parsippany Republican Committee Chairman Louis Valori began the ceremony with opening remarks and the pledge of allegiance.
![](https://i0.wp.com/parsippanyfocus.com/uploadedmedia/2020/09/IMG_0801.jpg?resize=696%2C464&ssl=1)
Parsippany-Troy Hills Council President Michael dePierro told the crowd “Trump has kept his promises and needs the full support of the “silent majority” that helped elect Trump in 2016. That means a straight down the ticket Republican vote.” “We need to fill the Congress and the Senate with Republicans that will work with him,” dePierro said. This will “help Make America Great Again,” he told a cheering crowd.
Down the road at the intersection of Baldwin Road and Route 46, Harry Martin’s rally was also attended by hundreds to supporters. Route 46 was open to one lane of traffic (eastbound) as passers-by honked their horns at the crowds displayed their signs. A large number of supporters left Veterans Park and joined the rally on the corner of Route 46 and Baldwin Road, which ended around 4:00 p.m.
A small group of anti-Trump protesters organized on the opposite corner on Route 46 West, in front of Walgreens. Parsippany-Troy Hills Police Department and Morris County Sheriff’s Officers, Parsippany Rescue and Recovery, Rockaway Neck First Aid Squad and Parsippany Volunteer First Aid Squad was spread out at both locations keeping the attendees safe.
Musella’s entire speech:
How great is it to see an event where everybody stands for the national anthem?
As the Chair of the Morris County Young Republicans, as a millennial, and most importantly as an American, we as a nation face the most important election in our country’s history. The full measure of the consequences that the outcome of this election bears on all of our futures cannot be overstated. If you feel like me—then you know what it feels like to be sick and tired of being sick and tired! Since March we have seen the most violent form of the Left take hold of the Democratic Party, all in the name of progressivism, social justice, and diversity.
When in reality, all that has meant for us is that we have seen statues to American heroes smashed, our most treasured cities looted and pillaged, and worse yet, the Left has declared war on the American police force. There can be no misunderstanding of their intentions since the effect of their actions is only destroying our culture, heritage, and sacred values. How many burdens like this can the greatest country in history endure before it no longer has the capacity to?
I stand before you today to deliver a message that every single person needs to hear; you must vote, you must get your family to vote, and you must get your friends to vote. A future where the Democrats win has never been scarier and if they win it will not be “mostly peaceful.” The time for arguing is over and the time to act has come. It cannot be any clearer of the contrasts between our two parties. To prevent further rot and decay, the only answer is we have to elect Republicans all the way up from President Trump and down.
I never thought I would be standing before you all as a young Republican and speaking in terms as dire as this but these are the times we live in. The last best chance we have in saving our country from being overrun is to ensure that we control the White House, the Senate, retake the House of Representatives, and win at the local level. Our only reward if we fail to vote in November is that the Democrats will achieve a victory so harmful—that the soul of this country will be permanently damaged. We have the power to make sure that this does not come to pass! If the whole of us votes in November we can make sure our voices are heard loud and clear that we want law and order, that we want the madness to stop, and most importantly, we want to remind the world that the ONLY privilege that exists in this world is to BE an American.

Letter to the Editor: Saddened to learn Beth Am will be Selling their Property
Dear Editor:
I am saddened to learn Beth Am will be selling their property.
I have had so many positive experiences throughout the years attending special Friday night services that featured M.L.K. Jr. remembrance programs and Holocaust-related speakers, Edwin Black, author IBM, and the Holocaust, and Harry L. Ettlinger, one of the Monument Men, a group of men given the task of reclaiming stolen artwork to their rightful owners. Harry, a Morris County resident, and I keep in contact and I will always cherish our conversations.
Thank you, to the congregation of Beth Am for opening your doors to the Parsippany community with the hope your Temple will continue with the enlightenment programs in your new home.

My name is Matthew DeVitto and I am first on the ballot for re-election to the Board of Education.
I am a life-long New Jersey resident and has been a resident of Parsippany in the Lake Intervale section since December of 2014.

Becchi For Congress Introduces Bill of Rights for All Individuals with Disabilities
PARSIPPANY — Rosemary Becchi, candidate for Congress (NJ-11) introduces the Bill of Rights for All Individuals with Disabilities policy initiative.
“While Washington politicians focus on partisan bickering and putting politics ahead of New Jersey families, our most vulnerable citizens are being left behind during this pandemic, said Becchi. “In Congress, I will always fight for the most vulnerable. That’s why one of the first pieces of legislation I will sponsor is a Bill of Rights for All Individuals with Disabilities.”
“Rosemary Becchi is a champion for people with disabilities. Rarely has there been a leader who is willing to fight for the rights of underserved and marginalized populations. She will be a game-changer in Congress.” said Dr. Steven Perlman, Global Clinical Director and Founder of Special Olympics Healthy Athletes.
Upon the release of the initiative, Rosemary Becchi stressed the goal to protect and ensure the full and equal enjoyment of all human rights and fundamental freedoms of children and adults living with a disability. “I am a fighter- I have personally advocated for resources and fairness for my family and now I want to continue this fight on a broader level for the people of New Jersey.”
The Bill of Rights strives to raise awareness, fight discrimination, and foster respect for the rights and dignity of those marginalized individuals.
The Bill of Rights For All Individuals with Disabilities focuses on 7 major pillars:
- Community: Access to in-home, community, and mobility support services so that those with disabilities may live independently.
- Accessibility: Providing a means for those with disabilities to access the world around them.
- Employment: Providing an equal right to seek employment in the public and private sector with reasonable accommodations, while also promoting entrepreneurship.
- Education: Providing inclusive, primary and secondary education, vocational training, adult education, and lifelong learning.
- Healthcare: Eliminating current barriers to health and wellness services, while providing the disabled with facilities within their residential communities that ensure quality and affordable healthcare.
- Advocacy: Affording disabled individuals the right to support and protect their own best interest or having a family member/caregiver protect their rights on their behalf.
- Awareness: Providing public awareness campaigns designed to promote positive perceptions and greater social awareness, while promoting their contributions as well.
“Too often individuals with disabilities experience discrimination and barriers that prevent them from participating in everyday life. These individuals are exposed to a greater risk of exploitation and restrictions of obtaining a full life. Rosemary Becchi recognizes the need to protect the civil, social, and economic rights of all individuals with disabilities by pursuing the establishment of the bill of rights for all individuals with disabilities.” Ashley Moore, BCBA Director.
Becchi has a daughter and nephew with disabilities, making this topic a personal one for her and she has made this initiative a cornerstone of her campaign.
