Breaking news: PTE beats Delaware 10-0

Mayor Barberio congratulates the PTE Sr Girls Softball Team for winning their 2nd pool play game at the regions. Today’s win was over Delaware, 10-0. Tomorrow they play Pennsylvania. Keep up the good work!

Par Troy East jumped out to an early lead on Delaware and captured a 10-0 victory on Monday, July 27 at Ty Cobb Little League, Worcester, Massachusetts.

The game was decided quickly as Par-Troy East exerted its will early with seven runs in the first three innings. A two-run home run by Meg Leitner and a two-run single by Claudia Bennett during the first inning helped PTE put some runs on the board early. Luisa Barone put herself in scoring position with three extra-base hits for Par-Troy East. She doubled in the first and second innings and tripled in the fourth inning. Delaware couldn’t get anything going as long as Caitlin Brennan was pitching.

Brennan held Delaware hitless over four innings, allowed no earned runs, walked two and struck out seven. It was her 9th straight win this all star season She has 82 strikeouts in 55 innings with a ERA of 1.01.

Donnelly ended up on the wrong side of the pitching decision, charged with the loss. She allowed 10 runs in five innings, walked one and struck out one. PTE piled on three more runs in the top of the third. Bennett’s single got things going, plating Alivia Mercuro and Brennan. Two sacrifice flies by Carly Homler and Leitner finished things off.

Things get interesting on Tuesday, July 28 when Par-Troy East (2-0) faces undefeated Pennsylvania (3-0) at 11:00 a.m. If PTE wins and Maryland beats New York in the afternoon, PTE will clinch the one seed in the Mid-Atlantic bracket and earn a berth in one of the East Regional semifinals games on Thursday.

Behind the scenes reactions from U.S. officials to September 11th terror attacks: PHOTOS

Prompted by a Freedom of Information request, the U.S. National Archive has recently released photos showing the reactions from U.S. leaders to the September 11th, 2001, terror attacks in New York City and Washington D.C.

Viewers can see how then President George W. Bush, Vice President Dick Cheney, Secretary of State Condoleeza Rice, General Colin Powell, and other members of the Cabinet were reacting to the news that came in and the images they saw on television.

The photos show behind the scenes of one of the darker moments in U.S. history, and are well worth your time.

Veteran Morris County Director Of Aging, Disabilities And Veterans Retiring

MORRIS COUNTY — Theresa Davis, the longtime Director of the Morris County Division on Aging, Disabilities and Veterans, has announced her retirement on July 31, after nearly three decades of service to residents of Morris County.

Davis, a Denville resident, was hired by Morris County as a research assistant on January 13, 1986, quickly moved up the ranks to program coordinator in 1988, principle planner in 1990, and program development specialist by 1993.

She was appointed as Morris County Nutrition Program Director in 1994, and was named Director of the Morris County Division on Aging Disabilities and Veterans later that same year.

The freeholder board presented a special resolution to Davis at their July 22 freeholder meeting, which was held at the Netcong Borough Hall. Davis was joined by her husband, Dennis Bennett, and some longtime colleagues at the ceremony.

“Theresa has long served some of our neediest people – elderly, disabled and veterans, in particular,’’ said Morris County Freeholder Director Kathy DeFillippo.

“Theresa has been a great asset to the county and will be tough to replace,’’ DeFillippo continued. “It has been a comfort to many freeholder boards to know that Theresa was standing behind us, protecting the most vulnerable residents of the county. She will be sorely missed.’’

“Theresa has been a strong leader in the community and advocate for seniors and people with disabilities and veterans throughout her career in Morris County,’’ said Morris County Human Services Director Jennifer Carpinteri. She has touched the lives of many county residents. I thank her for her years of service and wish her the very best.’’
