PARSIPPANY — April is National Child Abuse Prevention Month and Knollwood PTA and Girl Scout Troop 96623 hosted a one day event where the children came to Lake Hiawatha Library and made their own stuffed animal. Each child also made one stuffed animal that was donated to the Deirdre’s House.

Deirdre’s House is the Center in Morris County for child victims of abuse and/or neglect and for children that have witnessed domestic violence.  Established in 1994, Deirdre’s House is the only site in Morris County where a child victim can be interviewed and digitally recorded by law enforcement, medically examined and treated by a pediatric abuse specialist, prepared for trial, and clinically counseled in English or Spanish—all under one roof.

Deirdre’s House currently has about 60 to 80 children who visit their center each week. Knollwood PTA and Girl Scout Troop 96623 decided that they would like to bring some comfort to these children the best way they know how, with stuffed animals.

Morris County Prosecutor’s Office Participates in “Denim Day”

MORRIS COUNTY — Morris CARES in their partnership with Atlantic Health System hosted an event at the Morristown Medical Center to commemorate “Denim Day” on Friday, April 27, 2018. “Denim Day” is an international campaign which aims to protest against erroneous and destructive attitudes about sexual assault.

SART Coordinator Alexis Rachel

This program was attended by members of the Morris County Prosecutor’s Office, and other community partners such as Deirdre’s House and Jersey Battered Women’s Service. Representatives from CARES explained the services they provide to victims of sexual assault including their Sexual Assault Program Hotline at (973) 829-0587, and their Sexual Assault Response Team (SART). Alexis Rachel, the SART Coordinator at the Morris County Prosecutor’s Office also spoke at length of what the MCPO does to work with victims of sexual assault.

This “Denim Day” program was inspiring, as several victims of sexual violence shared their stories and the impact that these various organizations have had on their lives.

Ellen Sandman to run for Denville Mayor

PARSIPPANY — The New Jersey Globe reported this morning that Parsippany-Troy Hills Business Administrator Ellen Sandman, will be running in the June 2019 primary for Mayor of Denville. Rumors have been circulating around Parsippany’s Town Hall that Sandman will be retiring from Parsippany after the 2018 budget process has completed.

Sandman was appointed by Former Mayor James Barberio to serve as Parsippany’s Business Administrator on June 16, 2014. Prior to joining Parsippany she was employed at Mendham Borough, where she held the same title for the previous six years, and in Denville for 22 years before that; she also served for five years as Assistant Business Administrator in Jersey City.

Running for Mayor is nothing new for Sandman. She ran in 2007 against Ted Hussa in the Republican primary and lost by nine votes in a very heated campaign. During that race Sandman had the endorsement of former Mayor Gene Feyl.

The current Mayor Thomas Andes was sworn in on January 1, 2012 and his term ends December 31, 2019. He also served on the Denville Town Council Ward 1, 2000-2011 and served as Denville Council President 2007, 2008 and 2010.

“Over the past six years we have made unprecedented improvements to our downtown, towards flood mitigation, to our infrastructure, our parks system and the financial stability of our community. Although we are still in the 2018 primary election cycle, I have stated on many occasions I will be running for re-election as Denville’s Mayor as there is still much I like to accomplish in all these areas,” stated Mayor Tom Andes.

Sandman earned $130,000 in 2013 in Mendham and was hired in Parsippany for $140,000. Sandman’s salary now exceeds $160,000.

2018 National Prescription Drug Take-Back Day is a Huge Success in Parsippany

PARSIPPANY — On Saturday, April 28, the Parsippany-Troy Hills Police Department participated in National Prescription Drug Take-Back Day. A total of 79 pounds of unused or expired prescription and over-the-counter medicines were collected.

Residents of Parsippany-Troy Hills were encouraged to drop off unused or expired prescription and over-the-counter medicines at the Morris Hills Shopping Center in front of the Harmon Face Values store located at 3189 Route 46.

All of the drugs returned at these sites will be destroyed by law enforcement officials in an environmentally safe manner.

This national event plays an important role in combatting the Heroin and Opioid Epidemic, as well as the goal to continue making Parsippany as safe as possible. It allows the community to dispose of these drugs in a stress-free manner, while raising awareness about the dangers of abusing medications.

The National Prescription Drug Take Back Day aims to provide a safe, convenient, and responsible means of disposing of prescription drugs, while also educating the general public about the potential for abuse of medications.

According to the 2015 National Survey on Drug Use and Health, 6.4 million Americans abused controlled prescription drugs. The study shows that a majority of abused prescription drugs were obtained from family and friends, often from the home medicine cabinet.

United Methodist Church prepares roast beef dinner

PARSIPPANY — Members of the Parsippany United Methodist Church hosted their annual Roast Beef fundraiser on Saturday, April 21. The dinner featuring our famous Roast Beef, Cole Slaw, Mashed Potatoes, Gravy, Vegetables, and homemade deserts was served buffet-style.

The Parsippany United Methodist Church (PUMC) congregation was founded in 1830. A parcel of land was given by a wealthy member of the Presbyterian Church with the idea that the servants of the wealthy should have their own church. Our roots are humble.

In 1962, our original church building located on Rt. 46 was torn down to make room for highway 287. The congregation worshipped in local schools and met in the homes of members until in 1964 an education building and fellowship hall were built at the present location of 903 S. Beverwyck Road.

For years the congregation dreamed of a new, dedicated sanctuary. The congregation worshipped together in the fellowship hall which was also used for church dinners and play productions. For forty years the congregation forged an identity based on the quality of love found in our fellowship and worship. People were drawn to the congregation not for the edifice — the school-like building was not much to look at –- but rather by the spirit of compassion, inclusion, humor and artistic creativity.

Following Pastor Jeff’s arrival in 1989, PUMC congregational growth made it possible for the church to actively plan for the construction of a new worship space. Together we engaged in an extended process of envisioning, fundraising, and planning for a new sanctuary that, with its simple and open design, was in keeping with the spirit of our congregation.

Construction began in November of 2001, in the midst of the national grief of 9/11. As we witnessed people spontaneously flock to communal holy spaces seeking contact with the holy, it seemed timely to be building the sanctuary as an expression of the peace and presence of God in unsettling times.

Six months into construction, amid the typical frustrations and setbacks that are a part of this process, Henry “Hank” Heitschel, the chairperson of the building committee suddenly died. Shortly thereafter his wife Myra also died. When finally the new sanctuary was dedicated six months later in December of 2002, the joy we felt was mixed with sadness that this much beloved couple who had been so instrumental in sustaining our dream of the new sanctuary for forty years was not with us to share in the celebration.

Assemblywoman DeCroce: Menendez Should Resign His Senate Seat

Assemblywoman DeCroce: Menendez Should Resign His Senate Seat

PARSIPPANY — Assemblywoman BettyLou DeCroce (R- Morris, Essex Passaic) has added her voice to the growing number of New Jersey officials who believe U.S. Senator Robert Menendez (D-NJ) should resign following a Senate Ethics Committee denunciation of Menendez’s action.

“I do not come to this position easily,” said DeCroce of her decision to ask Menendez to step down. “But it is difficult to see how Senator Menendez can be an effective representative for New Jersey when he is going to be measured by his ethical lapses for years.”

The U.S. Senate Ethics Committee severely admonished Senator Menendez for accepting gifts from a wealthy doctor while using his position as a senator to promote the doctor’s personal and financial interests. The committee also ordered Menendez to repay the market value of all improper gifts he has not already repaid.

“His conduct was reprehensible and the sanction by the Senate Ethics Committee  – and his indictment – will be a cloud over Mr. Menendez’s head for the rest of his career,” said DeCroce, who also serves as Assistant Minority Leader in the state Assembly.

“New Jersey needs strong and respected representation in Washington and I don’t see how he can provide either. For the good of the state residents, Mr. Menendez should step aside and give voters the chance to select a new person to represent them in the U.S. Senate,” said DeCroce.

Mendez’s federal trial on corruption charges last year ended in a hung jury.

According to published reports the Senate Ethics Committee’s letter of admonition to Menendez acknowledged that the trial “did not result in a conviction,” but wrote, “The criminal system, however, neither enforces nor supplants the Senate’s rules or standards of conduct, and the committee’s action stands independent from that result.”

The committee’s three Republicans and three Democrats found that from 2006 to 2013, Mr. Menendez “knowingly and repeatedly accepted gifts of significant value from Dr. Melgen without obtaining required committee approval” and “failed to publicly disclose certain gifts as required by Senate rule and federal law.” The gifts included private flights and nights at luxury hotels, among them a villa in the Dominican Republic.

Assemblyman Jay Webber Hears High School Students’ Viewpoints on School Safety

PARSIPPANY — Assemblyman Jay Webber met with and heard from high school students from the March for Our Lives movement and across northern New Jersey about keeping our children and communities safe.

Assemblyman Jay Webber stated, “As the father of seven children, I know firsthand that the safety of our children and communities is of the utmost importance, and we should seek common ground on the best ways to ensure it.  That is why I authored and championed into law the recent landmark Safer Schools legislation that earned unanimous, bipartisan support to stop child abusers and sexual predators from getting jobs in our schools.  And that is why I am pleased to have had a conversation today with high school students with various points of view.  For an hour we spoke about their ideas on school safety, the Second Amendment, and a range of cultural issues affecting their lives and the lives of their peers.  Listening to and hearing from our young citizens is invaluable to my work in the Legislature. I thank them for their time and insights.”

Assemblyman Jay Webber office is located at 1055 Parsippany Boulevard, Suite 104. You can reach his office at (973) 265-0060.

Nine-month old male wirehaired Jack Russell Terrier seeking a home

PARSIPPANY — My name is Taz! I am a nine-month old male wirehaired Jack Russell Terrier. I am a confident, spunky pup with lots of personality!

I am very friendly and give kisses to everyone I meet! My foster siblings and I play chase in the backyard all day long. I enjoy going for walks and my foster mom is in the works of teaching me fetch. The ball is just too good to give up.

It would be great if I went home with kids who will want to run and play with me! As great of a playmate I am, it is best I go home with kids above the age of ten.

As you may infer, I have lots of energy! An active family would be best for me. I am working on my house training and crate training. It is important my future owner will be diligent about teaching me some basic doggy manners.

My family could no longer keep me since they were moving and said I couldn’t come. I am a fantastic pup who would make a family very happy! I hope that time comes soon!
