PARSIPPANY — Parsippany-Troy Hills Education Association (PTHEA) members will gather to demonstrate at the Parsippany-Troy Hills Board of Education Building on Thursday, September 13 from 5:30 p.m. to 6:30 p.m. prior to BOE closed session meeting.
About 150 PTHEA members will attend the open meeting at 7:00 p.m., wearing black Association shirts.
The teachers will march, carrying signs, on the sidewalks adjacent to BOE office building to make the Board of Education, at its regularly scheduled meeting, aware that the professional staff expects fair compensation.
“In response to a private and internal memorandum to fellow PTHEA members, the Parsippany Board of Education has published on its web site a “response to a PTHEA statement concerning job actions.” Although the PTHEA were not ready to take the contract negotiations public, thy feel they must respond. Whether or not one would identify the Board’s proposals as “fair” or “generous” (as they do), the basic and incontrovertible fact is that their offer would result in yet another year of reduced take-home pay. They cannot deny this; it is simple math. Their statement does correctly note that one of their offers would actually allow slightly more take-home pay, but only if we accepted a health care plan that required greater out-of-pocket costs. In other words, it offers a slight increase in take-home pay, but necessitates that we quickly give that money (and more) away to doctors, hospitals, and pharmacies. It is another offer to work for less money masquerading as generosity,” stated PTHEA members in a press release.
“These offers came after eight months negotiations, during which time the PTHEA accepted numerous concessions, moved away from its original proposals, and told the Board it would accept any deal that led to even a small increase in take-home pay. During this time they didn’t protest, hold rallies, or make statements. They presented evidence that such a deal was both affordable and practical and were given indications that agreement was close. And then, at the 11th hour, just as their old contract expired, the Board came back with the offers noted above. And that is why the 750 members of the PTHEA across all 14 schools feel they have no choice, and have overwhelmingly decided that they can no longer volunteer their free time for activities that go beyond contracted responsibilities. The teachers are not willing to divert time from their own families for voluntary and/or uncompensated work as long as they continue to realize less real income year after year. During this time, teachers will continue to discharge their duties fully and completely, according to the contract with the Board of Education. They will perform all the functions required of them during class, duty, and contracted meeting times. The professional dedication that parents and students have come to expect from the Parsippany education professionals will remain unchanged, and the level of instruction, coaching, counseling, and care that Parsippany schools are known for will not be curtailed.”

Prism’s in-house construction team fitted out Mane USA’s 70,000-square-foot space. The full-service commercial real estate owner/operator will continue as property manager for the fully occupied, 102,000-square-foot property, which also serves as home to Hollister Construction and Ascend Laboratories.
The project included a complete overhaul of the building’s three-story atrium lobby and upgraded finishes throughout. Prism also incorporated enhanced building services including a fitness center and grab-and-go café.

MORRISTOWN — Morris County Sheriff Jim Gannon earned national recognition from Security magazine as one of 2018’s Most Influential People in Security, joining just 16 fellow top security executives and industry leaders in America who are positively impacting the security field, their organization, their peers, and the national and global security landscape.
“It is always humbling to be recognized by your peers and fellow professionals who understand the incredibly complex and sophisticated world of security in today’s day and age,” said Sheriff Gannon. “I have been incredibly blessed to work with so many elite men and women in law enforcement and corporate security over the years. They share this award with me. It’s a tough business made up of tough individuals. To be recognized in their company is a true honor.”
Prior to becoming Morris County Sheriff in January 2017, Gannon was the Global Head of Security Risk for Novartis following a decorated career in law enforcement. Sheriff Gannon served in the FBI’s Joint Terrorism Task Force in Newark and investigated sensitive international terrorism and national security matters. He also worked in the Morris County Prosecutor’s Office, climbing the ranks from Detective to Deputy Chief of Investigations, eventually starting the Morris County Cold Case Unit in 2003, co-authoring the “Morris County Counter-Terrorism Task Force Manual,” and leading a team of police officers into New York City to assist with the PENTTBOMB Investigation on 9/11.
Security magazine said the following about Sheriff Gannon and his fellow honorees: “These security leaders have been nominated by their colleagues and associates and were chosen based upon their leadership qualities and overall positive impact on stakeholders, enterprises, colleagues, constituents and the general public.”

On or about November 8, 2017, the Morris County Prosecutor’s Office was contacted by Chilton Medical Center Director of Security who reported a theft of computer equipment from the facility by the defendant, now a former IT employee at Chilton Medical Center.

Subsequent investigation has revealed that at least one computer storage medium, which was sold on eBay by the defendant, contained data/data bases with personal identifying information of patient(s) of Chilton Medical Center.
On or about December 15, 2017, Chilton Medical Center sent notifications to patients, identified as potentially being affected by the theft, who had been treated at Chilton Medical Center advising of the incident.
The defendant has pled guilty to the following offenses based on the defendant’s criminal activity on various dates between January 1, 2015 and November 8, 2017.
Sentencing of the defendant is scheduled to take place on Friday, October 26, before the Honorable Stephen J. Taylor, P.J.S.C. in the Superior Court of New Jersey, Morris Vicinage.
Prosecutor Knapp would like to thank the Morris County Prosecutor’s Office Specialized Crimes Division, Financial Crimes Unit, Pequannock Township Police Department, Saddle Brook Police Department and Chilton Medical Center whose efforts contributed to the investigation and prosecution of this case.
Dear Editor:
Please do not appoint Kavanaugh to the Supreme Court.
He is against women’s healthcare, cancer screenings and childcare, Men’s cancer screening.
Children need both their parents to become productive voting citizens. Kavanaugh is in favor of making the President immune to being a lawful citizen above prosecution and able to create crimes in every way.
Also Kavanaugh is Pro Cancer. He favors polluting air, water and soil with toxic chemicals.
He has supported EPA rules reduced.
Our future is in grave danger with Kavanaugh on the Supreme Court.
Oppose Kavanaugh!
Sincerely,
Diane Grohn
MONTCLAIR — In front of a huge crowd of supporters, volunteers, and community leaders, Mikie Sherrill kicked off her fall campaign along with Vice President Joe Biden, New Jersey Governor Phil Murphy, New Jersey State Democratic Committee Chairman John Currie, and Montclair State University student and Mikie Sherrill campaign volunteer Naajidah Kahn. Vice President Joe Biden endorsed Mikie Sherrill for New Jersey’s 11th Congressional District in April 2018, and joined her at Montclair State University to engage students and residents of the community.
“Each new generation has a choice to make: face the challenges head on with the confidence and the certainty that we can lead this world toward something better and, in doing so, provide a better future for everyone,” said Mikie Sherrill.
She continued: “This country has always been at its best, has always lead in the most effective way, and has always achieved the greatest success, when we operate from a sense of confidence and optimism and leadership that looks toward the future.”
A U.S. Navy veteran, former prosecutor, and mother of four, Mikie Sherrill is running for Congress in New Jersey’s 11th Congressional District. Mikie Sherrill is focused on bringing new leadership to Congress, and 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.
Sherrill said “We are fighting to ensure the economic future of New Jersey – that our federal tax system doesn’t punish our state, that we drive innovation, and create good-paying jobs so all of you can have a bright future right here in New Jersey. That families don’t go bankrupt if a loved one has a pre-existing condition, or needs prescription drugs. That we protect women’s healthcare, and we don’t rollback the protections on marriage equality.”
Sherrill is the Democratic candidate for New Jersey’s 11th congressional district, a seat that has been held by Republican Representative Rodney P. Frelinghuysen for over twenty years. A seat thought so solidly Republican that it seemed folly for any sensible Democrat to seek it (or any Republican to challenge Frelinghuysen). There was so little competition for the seat over the years.
“When I first met Mikey over a year ago I met a great candidate, today I saw someone who will be a great Congresswoman,” said Mayor Michael Soriano.
“We are in a battle for the soul of America,” Biden added. “That is not a Democrat or Republican thing.” And then, Biden got blunt, reminding the audience that he graduated college in the same year as the assassination of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. and Robert Kennedy, events that seemed to put an end to the Civil Rights Movement that he had been drawn to as a young man. “Don’t tell me you’re demoralized,” Biden scolded the audience. “Get off your rear ends and vote.”

Safe Driving Tips from AAA
Every fall, over 55 million children across the United States head back to school. With 13 percent of those children typically walking or biking to their classes, AAA warns drivers to be especially vigilant for pedestrians before and after school hours. The afternoon hours are particularly dangerous – over the last decade, nearly one in four child pedestrian fatalities occurred between 3:00 p.m. and 7:00 p.m.
Launched in 1946, AAA’s School’s Open – Drive Carefully awareness campaign was created as a way to help reduce child pedestrian fatalities and injuries. Here are several recommendations from AAA regarding ways drivers can help to keep kids safe:
MORRIS COUNTY — The Morris County Chamber of Commerce is hosting a “Meet The Candidate” event with US Senate Candidate Bob Hugin.
The event will be held at the Birchwood Manor, 111 North Jefferson Road, Whippany, on Friday, September 7 at 7:30 a.m. for registration and networking. The event starts at 8:00 a.m. to 9:00 a.m. The cost to attend is $60.00 which includes breakfast. Attendees can register by clicking here.
Bob Hugin was raised in a diverse neighborhood in Union City, Hudson County and is a New Jersey success story who came from humble beginnings to live the American Dream. Now he’s running for United States Senate to ensure that opportunity is available for future generations growing up in every single community in our great state.
Born and raised in New Jersey, Bob grew up in a diverse, hardworking neighborhood in Union City, Hudson County, where his parents instilled in him an obligation to serve others. He was the first person in his family to attend college, earning a full scholarship to Princeton University. After graduation, Bob joined the United States Marine Corps where he served as an active duty infantry officer from 1976 to 1983. Bob participated in multiple deployments and was an instructor at the Landing Force Training Command, Atlantic.
Bob continued to serve as a Reserve Officer from 1983 to 1990, where his assignments included commanding officer roles in Virginia and Battalion staff officer assignments in New York. Upon leaving active duty in 1983, Bob earned his MBA from the Darden School of Graduate Business Administration at the University of Virginia and in 1985, he joined J.P. Morgan, ultimately leading several businesses and rising to be a Managing Director.
Bob spent the last 19 years as a leader in healthcare and vocal advocate for modernizing the American healthcare system, serving as Chairman and CEO of the Celgene Corporation and as a Trustee of the Atlantic Health System for the last decade. When Bob joined Celgene in 1999, the company had approximately 200 employees and less than six weeks of cash. Under Bob’s leadership and through the work of its employees, that company was transformed into one of New Jersey’s largest private sector employers – an innovative biotech company that is now known around the world for leading the fight against cancer and chronic disease. Forbes honored Celgene as #5 on a list of “America’s Best Midsize Employers” and #14 on a list of the “World’s Best Employers” in 2017.
