Hi! My name is Ross, please adopt me

PARSIPPANY — Hi! My name is Ross and I am an eight year-old Schnauzer/Poodle mix aka a “Schnoodle”!

I was abandoned at a local, municipal shelter where I was terrified and a bit sick. I am now in a foster home getting the treatment and love I need.

My foster mom describes me as very sweet but a little shy. I like to sniff a person out before I meet them but within minutes all I want to do is get pets! I REALLY like the company of cats and dogs and would do best in a home with a furry friend.

I would love a quiet home where we can curl up on the couch and I can get pets all day. For this reason, I am looking for a home with older kids maybe 16 and up.

One of my favorite things is to explore outside in the yard. And, as already mentioned, I really like snuggles! I am crate trained and totally ok when left alone during the work day.

I really need someone who will give me all the love I haven’t gotten in my previous life!

Traffic Shift On Route 80 West in Roxbury

TRENTON —  New Jersey Department of Transportation (NJDOT) officials announced traffic was shifted last night on the I-80 westbound Bridge over Route 46/Ledgewood Avenue as the I-80 Bridges over Route 46 replacement project advances in Roxbury, Morris County.

Last night, NJDOT’s contractor, Ferreira Construction Co. Inc., created a long-term traffic shift onto I-80 eastbound by crossing over the I-80 westbound left lane. In addition, the middle and right lanes from I-80 westbound were moved onto the temporary bridge above Route 46 in Roxbury to allow for the demolition and reconstruction of the I-80 westbound bridge structure. The new traffic shift is expected to remain in place until the end of 2018. The speed limit will remain 50 mph in the construction zone.

Work on the first bridge, I-80 eastbound is complete, and the next stage requires a traffic shift to allow for the demolition and reconstruction of the second bridge. Three travel lanes will be maintained at all times during construction to minimize impacts to motorists.

The $15.1 million federally-funded project will advance in stages, first replacing the I-80 eastbound bridge, followed by the I-80 westbound bridge. Each two-span concrete bridge will be replaced by single-span steel girder structure with concrete bridge decks. The vertical clearance will be raised to 14 feet-9 inches to improve safety for tall vehicles on Route 46, and existing guardrail will be upgraded to current standards. In addition, the bridge piers currently located underneath each bridge will be demolished.

In order to minimize impacts to motorists, a temporary I-80 bridge with two travel lanes was constructed in the median area, and a third lane will be provided on each new bridge to maintain three travel lanes in each direction as construction progresses. Construction is expected to be completed by early 2020.

Variable message signs and lane closure signs will be utilized throughout the project limits to provide advance notification to motorists of all traffic pattern changes associated with the bridge replacement project. Throughout the project, NJDOT will provide information before upcoming road closures.

The precise timing of the work is subject to change due to weather or other factors. Motorists are encouraged to check NJDOT’s traffic information website www.511nj.org for real-time travel information.

Adult residents at Matheny, a hospital for children and adults with developmental and physical disabilities, worked to make the bags as part of pre-vocational training. Deanna Willard, Life Skills Coordinator, and Nicole Araujo, Peapack Program Coordinator, came up from the “brave bags” as an extension of the police’s existing practice of handing out teddy bears to children.

Bags included items like crayons, coloring books, bubbles, bouncy balls, and small game or toy. They’re kept in soft cloth bags small enough to be tucked in an officer’s cruiser, and handed out to children during car crashes or other upsetting incidents.

The bags are brightly decorated, and were colored and designed by the residents themselves.

A tribute to Glenn Herman Foesel

A tribute to Glenn Herman Foesel

I received the sad news Monday, Glenn had passed away.

While tears were streaming down my face, I reflected on all the conversations Glenn and I had about his love for Parsippany, working on the police force, and given the opportunity to manage the Knoll Golf Courses. He said to me on many occasions “I’ve been blessed.”

As we all know Glenn stood out “physically” very tall man. He did not have a discreet job on the force, Traffic Enforcement.

With that, you all know tickets get issued. Always remember he kept our streets safe especially for our kids, a lot schools in Parsippany, a lot traffic Monday thru Friday.

Glenn asked me after his first year managing the Knoll to tour the grounds and buildings and give a verbal report to the Mayor and council regarding the conditions and the benefit of a driving range.

Before doing so I called twenty-four golfers I knew that played at the East and West. They all said, the courses have never been in better shape.

That’s Glenn, always a job well done.

Glenn, you will always be in my heart.
