PARSIPPANY — Parsippany Hills High School Project Graduation was chosen by Jersey Mike’s, Smith Road, on Wednesday, March 30 to donate 100% of the day’s sales, during the “Day of Giving.”

Jersey Mike’s Subs, known for its authentic fresh sliced/fresh grilled subs, asks customers to eat a sub and help a local charity.

This year, the national sub shop chain joined forces with more than 180 local charities for the company’s 6th Annual March “Month of Giving” fundraising campaign. Last year’s Month of Giving raised more than $3 million for more than 150 different charities nationwide and this year Jersey Mike’s hopes to raise even more.

During the month of March, everyone was invited to come into Jersey Mike’s restaurant and make a donation to that location’s designated charity partner, Parsippany Hills High School Project Graduation. Other charities at other Jersey Mike’s locations include hospitals, youth organizations, food banks and more.

The campaign culminated in the nationwide event, Jersey Mike’s “Day of Giving” on Wednesday, March 30 when 100 percent of the day’s sales – every single dollar – is donated to the local partner charity. This year Parsippany Hills High School Project Graduation was chosen by Parsippany’s Jersey Mike’s location. Jersey Mike’s “Month of Giving” donated a total of $6,855.55 to Project Graduation. This included all tips for the month of March, plus 100 percent of all sales for the March 30 Day of Giving.

“I would like to extend a personal invitation to come in and enjoy a Jersey Mike’s sub during our Month of Giving,” said Peter Cancro, Jersey Mike’s founder and CEO, who started the company when he was only 17 years old.  “This year, as we celebrate 60 years in business, we hope to raise more than $3.5 million to help local charities. It’s gratifying to know that each new location brings more opportunities to make a difference in people’s lives.”

Jersey Mike’s has more than doubled in size in just three years. Last year, Jersey Mike’s opened 197 new locations and exceeded the 1,000-unit mark. Started in 1956, the sub chain now has more than 1,500 restaurants open and under development nationwide.

“Giving…making a difference in someone’s life” has been the mission of Jersey Mike’s from the beginning. Since 2010, Jersey Mike’s locations throughout the country have raised more than $14 million for worthy local charities and have distributed more than 1.5 million free sub sandwiches to help numerous causes.

Project Graduation is a program offered by many high schools in the United States, in which organized, adult-supervised and alcohol-free activities are offered as part of a post-graduation party, as an alternative to student-run events involving alcoholic beverages or other drugs.

Team Mastrangelo Continues to Tamper with Campaign Signs

Signs-at-other-HQPARSIPPANY — Republican Freeholder candidates Lou Valori, Roman Hirniak and Peter King, the Morris County United team, called on Team Mastrangelo to stop the nonsense with campaign signs.

Nearly every election cycle in New Jersey politics, a campaign is caught tampering with another campaign’s signs. Unfortunately, it’s no different in Morris County this year as yesterday Lou Valori observed and photographed Tom Mastrangelo practicing the art of “boxing in” Morris County United’s signs.

“Typically, I don’t raise the issue of another campaign tampering with signs, but considering last week Lou Valori and Peter King, after observing an individual near our signs, went and retrieved stolen signs at Team Mastrangelo headquarters, it is an issue.” Morris County United campaign manager Steve Kush explained, “At that time, they asked Doug Cabana to stop stealing and boxing in our signs.” 

“Obviously, the message wasn’t heard because yesterday afternoon Lou Valori observed and photographed Tom Mastrangelo boxing in our signs on Route 10 West in Parsippany,” Kush remarked. “This is getting ridiculous and I have to wonder if it’s just another attempt at intimidation by Mastrangelo.”

“Push polls, filming our supporters going into a fundraiser and tampering with signs. It’s all a sign of a losing campaign that can’t stand on the issues.” Kush said, “It’s obvious Team Mastrangelo is desperate and resorting to every dirty trick they can to hold onto power.”

PARSIPPANY — Edward M. Stanel, 25, Parsippany was one of the five men appearing in federal court on Thursday, May 12 to face charges for their roles in a heroin distribution conspiracy that reached from Bronx, New York, to Paterson and suburban communities in New York and New Jersey, U.S. Attorney Paul J. Fishman said.

Also appearing in federal court with Stanel was Charlie Rodriguez, 32, Paterson, Reinaldo Rodriguez, 27, Paterson, Victor Alfonso Alvarez Martinez, 26, Bronx, New York,  and Joseph Trimarco, 28, Stony Point, New York, are charged by criminal complaint with one count of conspiracy to distribute a kilogram or more of heroin. Martinez and Trimarco were arrested Wednesday night, May 11. The rest were arrested on Thursday morning, May 12. All five defendants appeared before U.S. Magistrate Judge Michael A. Hammer in Newark federal court.

According to the complaint from June 2015 through May 2016, the defendants participated in a drug trafficking organization that amassed wholesale quantities of heroin at multiple locations in and around Bronx and used couriers to deliver large quantities of that heroin to mid-level drug dealers operating in and around Paterson. The heroin was either sold in the Paterson area or re-distributed to street-level drug dealers in suburban areas, including but not limited to, Morris County and Rockland County, New York.

In addition to the defendants who appeared in court today, Juan Pablo Goris-Castellano, 25, Bronx, Edwin Lopez, 30, Elmwood Park, and Carolina Almonte, 27, Bronx, were charged on April 20, 2016 in a separate but related federal criminal complaint with conspiring to distribute one kilogram or more of heroin.

Goris-Castellano, who was based out of Bronx, packaged and then distributed large quantities of heroin to Lopez, who operated out of Paterson.

Almonte and Martinez brought the heroin to Lopez and returned to Goris-Castellano with Lopez’s payment. Lopez then sold portions of that heroin to Charlie Rodriguez, who worked closely with Reinaldo Rodriguez to re-sell portions of that heroin to street-level dealers in Paterson and to street-level dealers in suburban areas including Stanel who operated in Morris County and Trimarco who operated in Rockland County.

The drug distribution conspiracy charge carries a mandatory minimum penalty of ten years in prison, a maximum potential penalty of life in prison, and a maximum $10 million fine.

U.S. Attorney Fishman credited special agents of the Drug Enforcement Administration’s New Jersey Division, under the direction of Special Agent in Charge Carl J. Kotowski in Newark, with the investigation leading to today’s charges.

The government is represented by Assistant U.S. Attorney Sara F. Merin of the OCDETF/Narcotics Unit of the U.S. Attorney’s Office in Newark.

This case was conducted under the auspices of the Organized Crime Drug Enforcement Task Force (OCDETF) and the FBI’s Safe Streets Task Force, a partnership between federal, state and local law enforcement agencies. The principal mission of the OCDETF program is to identify, disrupt and dismantle the most serious drug trafficking, weapons trafficking and money laundering organizations, and those primarily responsible for the nation’s illegal drug supply.

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.

ShopRite of Parsippany associates Joe Riccio, left, and Angelo Uccello, right, load up water for delivery to Parsippany schools.

A family-owned and operated business, the ShopRite of Parsippany wanted to help after learning that seven area schools had tested positive for lead in the water. Elevated lead levels were found in the water at two elementary schools just last week, and five other district public schools tested positive for the presence of lead in the water late last month.  

ShopRite reached out to the Parsippany-Troy Hills School District and arranged for the water donation. On Friday, May 6, associates at the ShopRite of Parsippany loaded 120 cases of water – or 5,760 bottles – onto a truck for delivery to the district. The water bottles will be distributed to elementary schools where the drinking fountains have been turned off. 

“This is our home and these are our neighbors and we wanted to help,” said Dara Sblendorio of Sunrise ShopRite, Inc., which owns the ShopRite of Parsippany and the ShopRite of West Caldwell. “We are third and fourth generation grocers and we’ve been serving the North Jersey community for more than 70 years.”

While Parsippany chose to voluntarily test their school water lines, the state last week ordered all public schools to check for lead that might be leaching into water from aging pipes and infrastructure.
