MORRIS COUNTY — Youths from 13 Morris County towns were among the graduates of the third annual Morris County Public Safety Youth Academy this month, after facing an intensive week-long course that immersed them in a hands-on host of public safety programs and exercises.
The 30 high school students who participated in the unique and free program, sponsored by the Morris County Board of Freeholders, ranged in age from 13 to 17 and entering grades 9 to 12 this fall.
Graduates came from Boonton, Chester, Long Hill, Mendham, Montville, Morris Plains, Morristown, Mount Olive, Randolph, the Rockaways, and Roxbury, Washington Township, plus Wayne in Passaic County.
The program was five days long and lasted eight hours each day. The cadets were exposed to an intensive program that featured a multi-faceted approach to public safety, including but not limited to law enforcement, emergency medical services, firefighting, and emergency management.
Students also get a taste each day of the public safety academy-style physical training
For a first-hand look at the 2015 Youth Academy, and to give potential 2016 applicants a look at what they might experience, view this comprehensive video:
“This program is like none other offered in this in the area. Cadets are exposed to all facets of the public safety profession,’’ said Scott DiGiralomo, Director of the Morris County Department of Law and Public Safety. “Our goal is to aid young adults in making a potentially life-changing professional commitment that could benefit themselves and their community.”
“The Youth Academy provides high school students with exposure to the field of public safety. At such an important time in a young adult’s life, when they are making decisions about their future, the academy affords them a hands-on opportunity to better understand and consider the field of public safety,” said Freeholder Doug Cabana, who is the county governing board’s liaison on law and public safety.
Most youth academies focus strictly on law enforcement. The Morris County program aspires to provide cadets with relevant and appropriate hands-on experience, allowing them to make an educated decision on their futures.
To achieve this goal, the cadets are exposed to police, fire, and EMS. By allowing them to participate in so many aspects of public safety, the cadets can realize an interest in a field previously unfamiliar to them.
The 2015 academy graduation occurred on August 7. The following is a list of graduates:
Roxbury: Michael Aemisegeo, Anthony Calabrese, Walter Chavarria, Michael Kovach, Jonathan Rheinhardt and Ben Smith;
Montville: Alexander Benno, Gregory Frieland, Joshua Lee, Samuel Rosensweig, and Jaden Vnencak;
Morris Plains: Christopher Brisson, Alyssa Chellaraj, Juhi Desai of Morris Plains;
Randolph: Stephen and Andrew Zenes, Danielle Buccelli, and Jordyn Bolan;
Mendham: Jenna Graff and John Herrlin III;
David Chen of Rockaway, Ryan Howard of Chester, Jonathan Johnson of Rockaway Township, Elizabeth Kaufman of Wharton, Sienna Madera of Mount Olive, Gianna Mitchell of Morristown, Kyle Mullaney of Boonton, Nina Tenten of Long Hill, Ryan Turse of Washington Township, and Christopher Paulison of Wayne.
RANDOLPH — Morris County Prosecutor Fredric M. Knapp announces the arrest of a Bloomfield public school teacher for possession and distribution of child pornography.
Nicholas K. Schumacher, Randolph, 29, was charged with one count of endangering the welfare of a child through distribution of child pornography, which is a second degree crime; and one count of endangering the welfare of a child through possession of child pornography, which is a third degree crime.
The investigation commenced when the Morris County Prosecutor’s Office received information from the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children and the Internet Crimes Against Children Task Force that child pornography was being uploaded by the defendant.
More specifically, the email addresses and internet protocol addresses being used to upload the material in question were located at the defendant’s Randolph residence and from his place of employment in Bloomfield, where the defendant is employed as a teacher with the Bloomfield Public School System.
Bail was set initially at $75,000, with no 10 percent option, by Randolph Municipal Court Judge Ira Cohen. Conditions of that bail also include that Schumacher have no contact with children under the age of 16, have no possession of firearms, and surrender his passport. At a subsequent emergent bail hearing before Superior Court Judge William McGovern, the defendant’s bail was reduced to $50,000 but all other bail conditions remained.
Prosecutor Knapp credited the following with participating in the investigation: Randolph Police Department, Bloomfield Police Department, New Jersey State Police Internet Crimes Against Children Task Force, Morris County Sheriff’s Office Criminal Investigations Section, National Center for Missing and Exploited Children, and the Morris County Prosecutor’s Office Sex Crimes/Child Endangerment Unit.
Anyone with information about this incident is asked to call Detective James Bruno of the Sex Crimes/Child Endangerment Unit of the Morris County Prosecutor’s Office at (973) 285-6200.
PARSIPPANY — Be on the lookout for a “virtual kidnapping” scam where con artists call people at random, claim to have kidnapped their relatives and demand a ransom payment, according to the Parsippany Police Department.
Callers, sometimes representing themselves as members of a drug cartel or corrupt law enforcement, will typically provide you with specific instructions to ensure safe “return” of the allegedly kidnapped individual. These instructions usually involve demands of a ransom payment. Most schemes use various techniques to instill a sense of fear, panic, and urgency in an effort to rush the victim into making a very hasty decision.
Instructions usually require the ransom payment be made immediately and typically by wire transfer. These schemes involve varying amounts of ransom demands, which often decrease at the first indication of resistance.
Callers will often go to great lengths to engage victims in ongoing conversations to prevent them from verifying the status and location of the “kidnapped” individuals. Callers will often make their victims believe they are being watched and were personally targeted. In reality, many of these callers are outside of the United States, simply making hundreds of calls, possibly using phone directories or other phone lists.
To avoid becoming a victim of this extortion scheme, look for the following possible indicators:
-Incoming calls made from an outside area code
-Multiple successive phone calls
-Calls do not come from the kidnapped victim’s phone
-Callers go to great lengths to keep you on the phone
-Callers prevent you from calling or locating the “kidnapped” victim
-Ransom money is only accepted via wire transfer service-
If you receive a phone call from someone who demands payment of a ransom for a kidnapped victim, the following should be considered:
-Stay calm
-Slow the situation down
-Avoid sharing information about you or your family during the call
-Listen carefully to the voice of the kidnapped victim
-Attempt to call or determine the location of the “kidnapped” victim
-Request to speak to the victim
-Ask questions only the victim would know<
-Request the kidnapped victim call back from his/her cell phone<
If you wish to file a complaint about a virtual kidnapping scam phone call, contact the FBI Newark Office Complaint Line: (973) 792-3000

RANDOLPH — County College of Morris President Edward J. Yaw and Drew University President MaryAnn Baenninger signed an agreement today that will provide top honors students at CCM with scholarships to Drew and a seamless transition to allow those students to earn their bachelor’s degrees at the Madison-based university.
Under the agreement, CCM students who successfully complete a minimum of four honors courses at the county college, earn a minimum 3.25 grade point average (GPA) and transfer to Drew will receive scholarships from the university to continue their studies.
Admitted students with a GPA of 3.75 will receive a $25,000 Honors Scholarship, those with a GPA of 3.5 or higher will receive a $20,000 Presidential Scholarship, and those who earn a 3.25 GPA or higher will receive a $15,000 Deans Scholarship.
The scholarships will be awarded annually as long as the students maintain the appropriate GPA. Students who are members of the Phi Theta Kappa honor society at CCM will receive an additional $2,500 annual scholarship.
Qualified honors students at CCM also will be able to take up to two courses at Drew at no cost while still enrolled at the community college. Students who are admitted to Drew will enter the university as juniors and will become part of the university’s honors cohort.
“We’re delighted that Drew has developed yet another pathway for CCM students to seamlessly transfer to the university and pursue a bachelor’s degree more affordably,” said Yaw. “It’s a wonderful opportunity for CCM students who earn their associate degree to also earn a bachelor’s degree from a highly respected liberal arts university.”
“We are so proud to be able to offer qualified students at County College of Morris the opportunity to attend Drew through this unique agreement,” said Baenninger. “Besides taking classes at Drew while still at CCM, this agreement will make college more affordable by offering a range of honors scholarships to these high-achieving students as they complete their baccalaureate degrees.”

WDBJ-TV Virginia television reporters Alison Parker and Adam Ward were executed while doing their jobs. They were good people who were successful at what they did and loved their work.
The insane ex-reporter who murdered them on live television killed himself. There are reports of some wacky manifesto and a faxed message to ABC about his state of mind. His state of mind was pure craziness. Obviously he needed psychiatric help. We can be thankful that a policeman did not have to kill him. However, it might have been best if a policeman could have killed this murderer before he gunned down Parker and Ward. I wonder what the newsfeed would be today if a policeman could have shot the idiot before he took two innocent lives?
The killer’s name is all over the news and all over the Internet. You know his name well already. He is now famous. He is famous for taking two innocent lives and destroying families and breaking the hearts of millions of people. There needs to be a media agreement that the names of such people are never mentioned on television or printed in the media. This evil murderer is now reaping what he had hoped for and that is all the fame and deranged glory he could never earn on the merits, hard work and skills that he did not possess.
We shouldn’t post video clips or show pictures of the horrific beheadings carried out by ISIS. When we do we are giving them what they so desperately crave – attention. The more attention ISIS receives the more they seem to be fueled.
I realize what I am suggesting isn’t going to happen. I affirm the first People want to know and I know that television, radio and print report the news and the news includes names. The bad people always make the news.
If we left the evil people out of the news then names like John Wilkes Booth, Lee Harvey Oswald, John Hinckley Jr. or Charles Manson would not be so widely written about.
This is the day of social media and worldwide communication technology. A word, a post and horrific actions are seen around the world often moments after they happen. As in the murder of these two young journalists the murderer did everything he could to make sure he received as much attention as possible by even posting his own video clip online.
Identities of bad people will be reported. However, whenever we have the chance as reporters, editors or columnists we ought to find a way to not add more fame to the deranged individuals who sought it so horrifically.

NEW BRUNSWICK — The identity of the hacker or hackers who crippled Rutgers University computer networks at least four times during the last school year is still a mystery. But Rutgers is spending big money to make sure cyber attackers don’t knock the school offline again. The state university has hired three cyber security firms to…
PARSIPPANY — Tension has been high at Morris County, Parsippany, and Board of Education offices, and in many homes this week after hackers released lists of millions of email addresses that were used to access the Ashley Madison online dating site for married people.
The website, whose tag line is, “Life is short. Have an affair,” was hacked by a group called the Impact Team in June. Earlier this week, it exposed the names, email addresses, credit card numbers and sexual preferences of upwards of 37 million users of the site.
With the help of a forensic expert, Parsippany Focus did an analysis of the massive leak and found that hundreds of the site’s members worked or lived in Parsippany. While virtually all members used a personal email address to sign up, Parsippany Focus uncovered a few members who joined the site using their government issued email. One person used his County of Morris email address, another used a Parsippany Board of Education email, and another was a high ranking officer in the Parsippany Police Department with the email address Sxxxxxxx@parpolice.com (Parsippany Focus has made an editorial decision not to publish member names or full email addresses. Websites have popped up in recent days that allow a person to search whether a specific email is included in the leak). The Parsippany Police email account in question also links back to the officer’s home address when a simple Google search is done.
Parsippany Focus spoke with a member of law enforcement on background and was told that if a police investigation was ever being conducted on the Ashley Madison website, an official police email account would never be used to access the dating site.
Parsippany Focus was able to confirm that the Parsippany BOE employee was a former district principal, but has since taken a job in another district.
Aside from the one police officer who used his police issued email account, Parsippany Focus uncovered two other former Parsippany Police officers who were regular users of the site. Of the two, one was already retired from the force when he signed up for the dating site, but the other was an active member of the Parsippany Police department at the time, and evidence reveals that the officer accessed Ashley Madison from police department headquarters and paid nearly $200 to Ashley Madison in the days immediately after Hurricane Irene. Although the officer used a fictitious name on the website, credit card records show that the officer used 3339 Route 46 (Parsippany Police Department HQ) as his mailing address, and he was required to use his real name when he provided his credit card information.
In addition to government email addresses, 191 accounts were associated with a rutgers.edu account, 25 with a County College of Morris student account, and three with an email account provided by the Parsippany-Troy Hills School District.
Government employees were not the only users of the cheating website. Records show that literally hundreds of Parsippany residents paid upwards of thousands of dollars to connect with other cheaters. Not surprisingly, all Parsippany members who paid were male, except for one woman from Lake Hiawatha who was looking for a “discreet partner who isn’t a couch potato.”

PARSIPPANY — The band Street Hassle performed during the final concert at Parsippany’s Summer Concert Series on Thursday, August 20.
The weather forecast was for rain, but Parsippany Parks and Recreation Superintendent Joseph Plescia decided to move forward and have the concert. The luck was with him. It didn’t start raining until the concert ended for the evening.
“There was a nice crowd of people came out to Veteran’s Memorial Park to see Street Hassle,” said Karen DeChristopher, a member of Parsippany’s Office of Emergency Management (OEM).
Street Hassle is no stranger to Parsippany, performing the last Friday of each month at Mount Holleran Town Tavern, with the next performance scheduled for Friday, August 28.
Street Hassle is a “Powerful Horn Band” with skilled area musicians that enjoy performing interpretations of Classic Rock, Blues, Motown and Pop. They are energetic and an entertainingly enjoyable band. They also cut from 60’s classic rock to 70’s disco and can ease their way through a 200+ song catalog to excite the most diverse crowd. I heard exhilarating renditions of classic from Chicago, The Rolling Stones, Dusty Springfield and Tina Turner. They also choose the right song for the moment, and don’t not fall into repetitious medleys of just number one hits.
The band has turned a lot of heads. When you see a blazing horn section in action, or see and hear the sound of a real Hammond
Organ spinning a whirl of sounds through the air, you can rest assured that this band is not aiming for the slickness of a cruise ship lounge act. They are a real band playing real songs and sometimes that just takes 12 people to accomplish. “We cant cut corners like our competitors,” jokes the bands leader and founder Steve Hantis.
Street Hassle has open for John K & Steppenwolf, Blood Sweat & Tears and many other national acts. They enjoy a loyal following centered in the NY/NJ Metro Area. In addition to Parsippany’s Summer Concert Series the group performs at large outdoor events including Millburn and Fredon’s annual concert Series in addition to Florham Park, Rockaway Boro and Berkeley Heights Feast Of Our Lady Of Mount Carmel Fireworks.
They are the house band at The Legendary Stanhope House and continuously play the club scene all throughout the year. The band is also proud of their affiliation with The Blue Knights MC and have been the headline act for 5 consecutive Gooch’c Garlic Runs.
