MORRISTOWN — Felix Cavaliere and Gene Cornish —  two legendary founders of The Rascals —  team up for the first time in five years in their new tour that brings the sounds of the legendary 60s group The Rascals to Mayo Performing Arts Center on Friday, September 21 at 8 pm. Tickets are $49-$89.
Felix Cavaliere and Gene Cornish cite the fans and love of their timeless songs as reasons for this collaboration. Rock & Roll Hall of Fame Inductees, Grammy Hall of Fame, Vocal Group Hall of Fame members and Songwriter Hall of Fame, The Rascals are widely considered the best “blue-eyed soul” group to come out of the 1960s and their music is the soundtrack of a generation. The Rascals have 17 Top 20 hits, seven Top 10 hits, and three No. 1 hits that include “Groovin’,” “People Got To Be Free” and “Good Lovin’.”
“I had an epiphany while performing in Hawaii last year,” Cavaliere said. “It’s not about me – it’s about the fans. It’s about the music. I spoke with Gene and he agreed that we can’t take any of this for granted anymore.”
Cornish, who first worked with Cavaliere and future Rascals singer, Eddie Brigati, in Joey Dee & The Starlighters in 1964, echoed Cavaliere’s feelings.
“There’s something magical that happens when we’re on stage together,” Cornish said. “We’re going to celebrate these songs for as long as the fans allow us to and give the fans a chance to see us perform live.”
Joining them on this new journey is hall of fame drummer, Carmine Appice. The Brooklyn-born iconic drummer’s resume includes Vanilla Fudge, Cactus, Rod Stewart, Beck Bogert & Appice, Ozzy Osbourne and Pink Floyd.
“Gene and I both thought there’s no way we can replace our brother Eddie, and Dino expressed that he didn’t want to do it,” Cavaliere said. “We both thought of Carmine at the same time.”
During his first phone call with Cornish, Appice wasted no time saying “I’m in.”
“I grew up watching The Rascals on Ed Sullivan, I’m a huge fan,” Appice said. “These songs are the soundtrack to so many peoples’ lives. I’m looking forward to sharing the music with life-long Rascals fans, and to new generations of fans.”
About The Rascals
Originally named The Young Rascals, and comprised of Felix Cavaliere, Gene Cornish, Eddie Brigati and drummer Dino Danelli, the group signed to Atlantic Records in 1965, Just a short time later their first single “I Ain’t Gonna Eat Your Heart Out Anymore” reached modest success. Now just called The Rascals, they struck No. 1 in February 1966 with mega hit “Good Lovin.'” They followed suit with a string of hits like “I’ve Been Lonely Too Long,” “Groovin'” (No. 1 in 1967), “How Can I Be Sure,” “A Girl Like You,” “A Beautiful Morning” and “People Got to Be Free” (No. 1 in 1968).

Governor signs Space bill broadening HVAC workforce

NEW JERSEY — Assemblyman Parker Space’s legislation bringing more highly skilled workers into the heating and air conditioning trade was signed recently by Governor Phil Murphy.

Space’s measure (A3704/S2550) clarifies that tradesmen who complete apprenticeship programs run by sheet metal workers, steamfitters and pipefitters are qualified to test for a master heating, ventilation, air conditioning and refrigeration contractor’s license.

The training has been included in apprentice programs for years, however, regulations have prohibited graduates from other apprentice programs from sitting for the test. 

“There are many skilled and trained tradesmen who are ready, willing and able to do the work, but they have been unable to prove their qualifications on the test,” said Space (R-Sussex). “The new law opens the market for more licensed contractors, filling the void for qualified workers and making project costs more competitive.”

Assemblyman Hal Wirths joins as a co-sponsor of the bill.

Indian Independence Day and Flag Raising Ceremony

PARSIPPANY —  Brightly colored saris fluttered in the breeze and traditional music filled the air as India’s 72nd Independence Day and Flag Raising Ceremony was celebrated outside Parsippanys Municipal Building on Saturday, August 18.

Joining Mayor Michael Soriano was the Indian-American Seniors Association of Morris County to celebrate the Indian Independence Day and Flag Raising Ceremony, the first of its kind in Parsippany.

Mayor Michael Soriano was the master of ceremonies with guest speakers Raj Patel, President Indian-American Senior Association, Abhay Patel, Yogi Devine, K. Devadasan Nasir, Consul of India  and Assemblyman Raj Mukherji.

Raj Mukherji is an Assemblyman in the New Jersey State Legislature who represents the 33rd Legislative District, as well as a lawyer, businessman, former Deputy Mayor of Jersey City, and political science professor.

Parsippany-Troy Hills Volunteer Fire District 6 member Raj Patel and Lake Parsippany Volunteer Fire Department member Mirhi Patel raised the National Flag of India, a horizontal rectangular tricolour of India saffron, white and India green; with the Ashoka Chakra, a 24-spoke wheel, in navy blue at its center.

By law, the flag is to be made of khadi, a special type of hand-spun cloth or silk, made popular by Mahatma Gandhi. The manufacturing process and specifications for the flag are laid out by the Bureau of Indian Standards. The right to manufacture the flag is held by the Khadi Development and Village Industries Commission, who allocates it to regional groups. As of 2009, the Karnataka Khadi Gramodyoga Samyukta Sangha has been the sole manufacturer of the flag.

India celebrates Independence Day on August 15 each year. India became an independent nation on August 15, 1947, so a gazetted holiday is held annually to remember this date.

Independence Day is a day when people in India pay homage to their leaders and those who fought for India’s freedom in the past. The period leading up to Independence Day is a time when major government buildings are illuminated with strings of lights and the tricolor flutters from homes and other buildings. Broadcast, print and online media may have special contests, programs, and articles to promote the day. Movies about India’s freedom fighters are also shown on television.

The president delivers the ‘”Address to the Nation” on the eve of Independence Day. India’s prime minister unfurls India’s flag and holds a speech at the Red Fort in Old Dehli. Flag hoisting ceremonies and cultural programs are held in the state capitals and often involve many schools and organizations.

He was transported to police headquarters for processing and charged with Driving While Intoxicated; Reckless Driving; Failure to Keep Right and Failure to Maintain Lane.

He was released on his own recognizance pending his court date.

Editors Note: A criminal complaint is merely an accusation. Despite this accusation, the defendant is presumed innocent until he or she is proven guilty beyond a reasonable doubt in a court of law.

Governor signs Schepisi/Bucco bill protecting volunteers from furloughs

Assemblyman Anthony Bucco

MORRIS COUNTY — Legislation sponsored by Assemblywoman Holly Schepisi and Assemblyman Anthony M. Bucco allowing local emergency volunteers to continue serving their communities without fear of losing their state pension was signed today by Governor Phil Murphy.

For more than two years, Schepisi has fought to resolve an interpretation of IRS code requiring retiring police officers, teachers and government employees to stop volunteering when they retire from their public jobs.

“Volunteers and communities they serve have been in a state of limbo due to inconsistent opinions from the pension board,” said Schepisi (R-Bergen). “This law protects the dedicated men and women who are the lifeblood of our communities and it protects residents who are dependent on the round-the-clock emergency response they provide. Volunteer firefighters, EMTs and first-responders will no longer be risking their pensions when they respond to an emergency.”

Seventy-five percent of fire departments are all-volunteer in New Jersey, and 18 percent have paid and volunteer responders. There are 579 volunteer fire departments in the state and 49 career fire departments. The volunteers often hold paying jobs with local municipalities.

“Our hard-working volunteers protect lives and property 24 hours a day, seven days a week without compensation or complaint,” said Bucco (R-Morris), a 38-year member of the Boonton Volunteer Fire Department. “Their volunteer service saves millions of tax dollars for our residents and the State. This new law finally allows them to continue to serve their communities without the fear of financial penalty.”

The new law is also sponsored by Assemblymen Robert Auth and John DiMaio.
