MORRIS COUNTY — Senator Joe Pennacchio marks the 46th anniversary of the brutal murder of State Trooper Werner Foerster, by Joanne Chesimard who fled to Cuba for asylum where she remains today. Pennacchio sponsors legislation calling for her extradition.
Chesimard was convicted of murdering Trooper Foerster and sentenced to life in prison, but subsequently escaped and has been living under the protection of political asylum in Cuba ever since. Senator Pennacchio has long-sponsored a bipartisan resolution calling for her extradition to the United States.
“Our hearts go out to for the Foerster family as they continue to cope with this unimaginable loss. No child should blow out a birthday candle, graduate, or walk down the aisle without their father by their side. Trooper Foerster was a pillar of strength for his family, and his brothers and sisters in arms at the State Police. That pillar crumbled 46 years ago today when Joanne Chesimard pulled the trigger.
“That convicted killer belongs in jail, and justice will not be served until we bring her back to serve out her sentence. Clearly, we cannot count on Cuba to take action. We must do the right thing and demand her extradition now.
“We owe it to the Foerster family, and all of the State Troopers serving bravely today to stand united in this call for Chesimard’s immediate return to the United States. I can think of no better time to schedule a hearing on my bill then today, as we mark his untimely passing for the 46th time. I hope a vote will be called as soon as possible. The Foerster family has waited far too long already.”
MORRIS COUNTY — Morris County Sheriff’s Office Detectives Nicholas Ricciotti and Timothy Palazzolo assisted detectives from the Morristown Bureau of Police and Morris County Prosecutor’s Office in identifying and apprehending a 21-year-old man suspected of hiding an imitation handgun under a bush minutes before his appointment with a Morris County Probation Officer.
The investigation began on Wednesday, May 1 when the Morris County Sheriff’s Office contacted Morristown Police to advise that a witness reported seeing what appeared to be a black-colored handgun under a bush on Court Street, by the Morris County Administration and Records Building.The witness reported to police that the suspected handgun was gone when he checked a short time after he first spotted it. The witness made the observation on Tuesday, April 30 and reported it on May 1.
Entrances to the Morris County Courthouse and Administration and Records Building are heavily monitored by surveillance cameras and Morris County Sheriff’s Officers, who operate metal detectors that expose all weapons, real and imitation.
Detective Ricciotti reviewed surveillance footage of the area around the Administration and Records Building and observed a man, later identified as Morristown resident Maurice J. Bates, remove a black object from his pocket and place it under a bush near the front entrance to the Administration and Records Building on Tuesday, April 30.
Mr. Bates was observed on the surveillance video entering the Administration and Records Building and walking to the Probation office around 2:00 p.m. on Tuesday, April 30. Around 2:30 p.m., as the videotape shows, Mr. Bates was seen, allegedly retrieving the black object from under the bush, putting it in his pocket, and walking away.Detectives Ricciotti and Palazzolo gathered information identifying Mr. Bates and his residence. Morristown Police Detectives Scott Pino and Scott Weaver had integral roles in the investigation, including preparing search and arrest warrants that received judicial approval before being executed.
Detectives from the Morris County Sheriff’s Office, Morristown Bureau of Police and Morris County Prosecutor’s Office Special Enforcement Unit conducted surveillance on Mr. Bates’s home on Wednesday, May 1. Detectives verified that Mr. Bates was at home. With the assistance of the Morris County Sheriff’s Emergency Response Team (SERT), officers entered Mr. Bates’s apartment and arrested him before conducting a search that revealed a black imitation handgun.
Mr. Bates was charged on Thursday, May 2 by Morristown Detective Scott Pino with possession of a weapon, an imitation firearm, for an unlawful purpose. The Morris County Prosecutor’s Office has filed a motion to detain him in the Morris County Correctional Facility while the charge is pending.
Morris County Sheriff James M. Gannon and Morristown Public Safety Director Michael Corcoran commend the detectives for the thorough and timely investigation.
“There are aggressive, proactive security safeguards in and around the Morris County Court Complex and Administration and Records Building. People who bring illegal weapons to the area will be caught,” Sheriff Gannon said.

PARSIPPANY — Parsippany celebrated the 43rd years a Tree-City USA on Monday, April 29. James Walsh, Superintendent Parks and Forestry Department welcomed the crowd of residents, teachers, students and township employees.
Parsippany-Troy Hills Township was named a 2019 Tree City USA by the Arbor Day Foundation in honor of its commitment to effective urban forest management.
Parsippany-Troy Hills Township achieved Tree City USA recognition by meeting the program’s four requirements: a tree board or department, a tree care ordinance, an annual community forestry budget of at least $2 per capita and an Arbor Day observance and proclamation.
Trees provide multiple benefits to a community when properly planted and maintained. They help to improve the visual appeal of a neighborhood, increase property values, reduce home cooling costs, remove air pollutants and provide wildlife habitat, among many other benefits. More information on the program is available by clicking here.
Parsippany has thirty one parks throughout the Township. The park system has preserved over 800 acres ranging from the .032 acre Lake Hiawatha Park to the 352-acre Knoll Park. The total surpasses the nationally recognized standard of having one acre of park land for every 100 residents. The goal has been to provide recreation within walking distance of every resident.
Senator Richard Codey presented James Walsh with the official “Tree City USA” banner during the event.

In response to Council Vice-President Janice McCarthy letter to editor Dated April 26, 2019 “The Financial Harm the 2019 Budget Causes.”
Where were you, mayoral candidate Michael Soriano and Councilwoman Emily Petersen for the eight years in which the former administration skimmed off the $9.4 million from the utilities surpluses? The skimming was not a subterfuge or hidden surreptitiously in the budget, it was in plain sight.
The only residents that can hold their heads high in confronting this mismanagement of public user funds are Pat Petaccia. and the undersigned. Together we spoke publicly at council meetings, wrote letters to the editor, and held a petition signing at town hall. Janice go back and read the articles printed in Parsippany Life by journalist Cindy Forrest for background if you still have them.
The undersigned contacted the appropriate government agencies in Trenton regarding the circumventing of the 2% budget cap instituted by Governor Chris Christie. Their response: “We do not like it but there’s nothing we can do.”
Most of your facts you presented are fairly accurate however again where were you when the skimming and ZERO budget increases in election years by the prior administration were being presented? You were a resident of Parsippany and had been involved in politics- having previously run for office. Why weren’t you, Janice, and Mayor Soriano at those council meetings speaking out against those budgets?
Now this Democratic administration is heaping blame on the previous administration – and rightfully so – but also failing to take responsibility for its contribution to the deficit by continuing to skim the utilities surpluses in the amount of $5.8 million in the last two years AND INCREASING UTILITY RATES.
Doesn’t that qualify as a “LEGALIZED PONZI SCHEME?”
Janice if you honestly want to place blame where it is due then you also would have spoken out about Mayor Soriano’s clown car administration bringing in high-salaried political appointments and adding job positions that the town has operated without for years.
Yes, I agree with you the town has been financially mismanaged. In the fall of 2017 I asked mayoral candidate Soriano if he knew what he was walking into. Instead of beginning a cycle of repair the mayor has added to Parsippany’s financial crisis.
Amongst the residents I have spoken with since the public inception of the 1515 project PILOT application your name always comes up as the lone NO VOTE and they appreciate that vote and will not forget.
However, do not sugar coat this administration’s wanton mismanagement of taxpayers money to benefit the Democrat party.

PARSIPPANY — A new proposal by Assemblywoman BettyLou DeCroce would eliminate the Schools Development Authority and transfer its responsibilities to the Department of Treasury’s Division of Property Management & Construction.
“We have an existing branch of state government that can effectively perform the duties of the SDA with more efficiency and accountability,” said DeCroce (R-Morris, Essex, Passaic). “It will provide executive branch oversight and governance controls over hiring and spending practices.”
The SDA, which manages the construction and improvement of schools in 31 of the state’s poorest communities, is being investigated by the attorney general’s office for its hiring practices and recent allegations of employee file tampering. The authority has been accused of creating a patronage pit by hiring unqualified but personally-connected staff.
This week, DeCroce sent letters requesting support from Senate President Stephen Sweeney, Speaker Craig Coughlin and Assemblyman John Burzichelli (who is prime sponsor of bill S3268 that folds the SDA into the Economic Development Authority).
She wrote, “Placing the SDA into a department will make it more accountable to the administration and legislature while also making their budget more transparent.”
DeCroce is against moving the SDA into another authority like the EDA that is “in shambles independently.” The EDA is also at the center of controversy. The comptroller issued an audit that revealed the authority may have improperly awarded billions in tax incentives.
“Moving the SDA to the Division of Property Management & Construction] is the right strategy because it is critical that we ensure the services provided by the SDA are offered in a professional and transparent manner,” wrote DeCroce.
The division oversees the procurement of construction contracts for public works buildings for state agencies, leases for office and warehouse space, and the operation and maintenance of state-owned facilities.
Under DeCroce’s legislation, which she plans to introduce at the next quorum, the EDA would retain its responsibility for financing school construction projects.
PARSIPPANY — Parsippany High School Environmental Club organized and hosted the annual grounds cleanup: Slam Dunk the Junk-Keep Morris County Litter Free, on April 25.

MORRIS PLAINS — Chick-fil-A has selected Drew Blind as the local franchise owner of the chain’s Morris Plains restaurant as hiring of up to 125 new Team Members is under way in preparation for the projected June grand opening.
When Blind’s stand-alone Chick-fil-A location opens at 1711 Route 10 East it will be a homecoming for the New Jersey native who is relocating from the chain’s location inside Garden State Plaza in Paramus.
Blind, who grew up in Morris County, is excited to return to his hometown where numerous family members reside and where his Chick-fil-A career began. A Team Member at the chain’s location in Howell, Blind worked at Chick-fil-A as a teen and during breaks while attending college at Lock Haven University in Pennsylvania.
After graduating with a degree in business management, Blind and his wife, Colleen, moved to South Carolina where he worked on the leadership team at a Charleston Chick-fil-A restaurant until his wife’s career brought them back to Pennsylvania.
Blind knew early on that Chick-fil-A’s focus of freshly prepared food, genuine hospitality and having a positive impact on the communities it serves matched his entrepreneurial goals. Blind became director of operations at the chain’s location in Nazareth and began his pursuit of owning his own restaurant while also serving on corporate teams helping open new locations around the country. His dream of owning his own restaurant was realized when he was selected to operate Paramus location in 2015.
The new 4,700-square-foot Chick-fil-A location in Morris Plains will offer indoor seating for 102 and patio seating for 20 as well as a two-story playground for children. The interior will feature the chain’s heritage restaurant interior design that showcases handmade, authentic materials for a vintage-inspired interior, including subway tiles, large windows to let in natural light and a large gathering table made from reclaimed wood. A single drive-thru ordering lane will divide into two lanes for ordering to enhance the chain’s award-winning drive-thru service before merging back into a single lane for pickup. The new restaurant will be open from 6:30 a.m. to 10:00 p.m., Monday through Saturday. Like all Chick-fil-A restaurants, it will be closed on Sunday.
Blind has begun hiring as many as 125 Team Members as he builds his Morris Plains staff. He is filling full-time and part-time positions in all areas of the restaurant, including leadership development, hospitality, catering, training, and marketing. Each position will include benefits such as scholarships for continuing education. In addition, Chick-fil-A restaurant team members appreciate having Sundays off, flexible schedules, and the family atmosphere fostered at the restaurant.
Named one of the “best places to work” by Glassdoor, Chick-fil-A is known for hiring and retaining talent and offering a supportive workplace with opportunities for leadership development, respect for work-life balance and competitive wages.
Chick-fil-A Team Members are eligible for the chain’s initiative, Remarkable Futures. In 2019, more than 6,000 Team Members will be awarded with $15.3 million in scholarships, one of the highest unrestricted per employee scholarship investments in the industry. Team Members, who are beginning or continuing their higher education, are awarded scholarships in the amount of $2,500 or $25,000 which can be applied to any area of study at any accredited institution. In addition, Team Members have access to tuition discounts and other educational benefits at more than 100 colleges and universities nationwide.
Interested applicants can learn more by visiting www.snagajob.com or www.glassdoor.com and searching for Chick-fil-A Morris Plains. Follow the new restaurant on Facebook at Chick-fil-A at Morris Plains for updates on grand opening events.

MORRIS COUNTY — Two County College of Morris (CCM) freshmen won top prizes at the 16th Annual New Jersey Undergraduate Mathematics Competition (NJUMC) recently held at Raritan Valley Community College in Branchburg.
A total of 84 participants from two- and four-year colleges across the state competed individually and as teams. Sofiia Shvaiko, of Livingston, won the highest-ranking individual score overall and the highest-ranking female score. Her teammate, Gabriel Lukijaniuk, of Hackettstown, won third place in the individual competition. Together, they won first place for the highest-ranking team from a two-year institution.
Shvaiko is an international student from Kharkiv, Ukraine and has competed in several math competitions in Eastern Europe. Still, the computer science major was not certain she could win the top spot in the NJUMC. “My family was proud of me that I proved my knowledge outside of my country and had the skill to compete,” she says. When she graduates from CCM, she hopes to complete her bachelor’s degree at Rutgers University and become a software developer.
“Winning at the competition was strange,” Lukijaniuk says. “I wasn’t sure how I compared to other people who majored in math and had the same passion and studying habits as me. So I was actually quite surprised when I had found that I placed that high.”
Like his teammate, he prepared for the competition by going to the NJUMC website and taking tests from past competitions. He says the tips and techniques he learned from his math classes at CCM gave him an edge. He hopes to complete his bachelor’s degree at Rutgers University. His ideal job would be a combination of math professor and math researcher.
“Our thanks go out to the entire mathematics faculty for supporting these students throughout their academic journey, as well as to Don Phelps, director of Campus Life, and the Math Club for funding the competition,” says Associate Professor Kelly Fitzpatrick, advisor to the team. “These wins are truly impressive results.”
Following the competition, students enjoyed the day viewing poster presentations, listening to student talks and hearing from major companies about job opportunities for math majors in actuarial science, analytics and data science.
