PARSIPPANY — The Letter Carriers’ Stamp Out Hunger® Food Drive is the outgrowth of the National Association of Letter Carriers’ tradition of community service, a tradition exhibited repeatedly by members of the letter carriers’ union over the years. These carriers, who go into neighborhoods in every town at least six days a week, have always been involved when something needed to be done, whether it be collecting funds for a charity like the Muscular Dystrophy Association, watching over the elderly through the Carrier Alert program, assisting the American Red Cross during time of disaster, or rescuing victims of fires, crime, and other mishaps.
Letter Carriers’ Stamp Out Hunger® Food Drive is set for Saturday, May 12. Leave out non perishable food by or in your mailbox for the mail carrier to collect on Saturday, May 12.
For many years, a number of NALC’s branches (locals) had collected food for the needy as part of their community service efforts.
A national, coordinated effort by the NALC to help fight hunger in America grew out of discussions in 1991 by a number of leaders at the time, including NALC President Vincent R. Sombrotto, AFL-CIO Community Services Director Joseph Velasquez and Postmaster General Anthony Frank. A pilot drive was held in 10 cities in October of 1991, and it proved so successful that work began immediately on making it a nationwide effort.
Input from food banks and pantries suggested that late spring would be the best time since by then most food banks in the country start running out of donations received during the Thanksgiving and Christmas holiday periods.
A revamped drive was organized for May 15, 1993 — the second Saturday in May — with a goal of having at least one NALC branch in each of the 50 states participating. The result was astounding: More than 220 union branches collected more than 11 million pounds of food—a one-day record in the United States.
From Alaska to Florida, from Maine to Hawaii, letter carriers did double duty on Food Drive Day—delivering mail and picking up donations. The Food Drive just grew and grew from that point.
In 2010, the food drive surpassed the 1 billion pound park in total food collected over its history.

Chief Assistant Prosecutor Bradford Seabury and Assistant Prosecutor Noelle Fiorentino, assigned to the Special Enforcement Unit of the Morris County Prosecutor’s Office, represented the State during the trial.
Prosecutor Knapp stated, “I would like to thank the jury for its service to the community and all of our law enforcement partners for removing such a large quantity of illegal drugs from the streets”.
Prosecutor Knapp would specifically like to thank Chief Andrew Miller of the Parsippany Police Department for his department’s involvement in the investigation, the Narcotics Task Force of the Morris County Prosecutor’s Office, Task Force Officer George Tsimpedes and Morris County Prosecutor’s Office Detective/Supervisor Thomas Joiner.
This matter is scheduled for sentencing before the Honorable Salem V. Ahto, J.S. C. on Thursday, June 7, 2018.

The Mule Tavern is named after Rita’s favorite drink, the Moscow Mule, a cocktail made with vodka, ginger beer and lime juice. Garnished with a wedge of lime, it’s served cold and refreshing in a copper mug. Currently, there are a dozen variations of “Mule Madness” drinks on the menu. Rita said “I just love them. The copper cup keeps the drink so nice and cold. It’s such a crisp, awesome drink and there’s just so many different things you can do with it. Ever since I had one, I fell in love with them.”
The party continued Saturday with a free Cinco de Mayo celebration that includes tacos and margaritas.

There is great pride in the quality of the menu which consists of scratch made meals that accommodate a wide range of tastes.

The prior establishment closed at the end of Dec, leaving many people after work following the holidays. Each employee was interviewed and provided with an employment opportunity. Our current team consists of about 50% of staff from the prior establishment (Dave, Eddie, Jay, Krystal & Patti and 50% new members include (Christine, Luis, Mary, Michelle, Mickey & Todd). The legacy team has been instrumental in helping bring us up to speed on the facility and operation while the new team has been instrumental in executing our vision. Collectively, we have an awesome team,” stated Rita.
The kitchen staff is new with the exception of Chris who is the resident expert in creating amazing pies. He is a highly skilled sous chef who assists our Head Chef, Miguel who brings decades of experience. Russell is also very hands on it the kitchen and incorporates recipes he has been perfecting for years, including his famous teriyaki sauce, BBQ sauce and fall off the bone ribs.

PARSIPPANY — Cushman & Wakefield has been appointed to market 11 Waterview Boulevard as a headquarters opportunity for sale or lease. The 120,000-square-foot office asset sits immediately off Route 46, at the intersection of Interstates 287 and 80, and represents the largest, Class A user-purchase opportunity in the immediate market.
“This is an outstanding offering for a company that wants to own its headquarters space and, therefore, control its real estate destiny,” noted Cushman & Wakefield’s Jeffrey Prezant, who is heading the assignment with James Frank and Dan Johnsen, based in the commercial real estate services firm’s East Rutherford office. “And because the building is newly improved from top to bottom, it requires no immediate capital infusion. It is gorgeous space, in move-in condition.”
The three-story building features a stately pre-cast concrete façade and a full-height ceremonial staircase connecting its three stories. Each floor is finished with perimeter offices, an open-format collaborative core with work pods, and a bistro-style kitchenette with high-top tables and lounge seating. Building amenities include a full-service, 200-seat cafeteria, fitness center with lockers and showers, and multiple conference rooms. Its future occupant will also benefit from Category six wiring, multiple fiber carriers and an IT room with dedicated cooling.
According to Frank, 11 Waterview Boulevard’s visibility and location also makes it a strong branding play. “The property sits high on the north side of Route 46 and I-287, enabling prominent building signage,” he said. “The entire site projects a corporate headquarters-quality image. And the surrounding neighborhood creates a truly walkable environment that lends work/play balance, with nearby dining, shopping and recreation.”
11 Waterview Boulevard is coming available this summer. Office, conference room and cafeteria furnishings are available for its future buyer or tenant.
11 Waterview Boulevard marks the third assignment Cushman & Wakefield has spearheaded for the current ownership – a private, family-owned real estate investment firm. The team recently closed on the disposition of a 14-acre land site on Route 23 in Wayne, which CarMax purchased.
Cushman & Wakefield is a leading global real estate services firm that delivers exceptional value by putting ideas into action for real estate occupiers and owners. Cushman & Wakefield is among the largest real estate services firms with 48,000 employees in approximately 400 offices and 70 countries.

The band Street Hassle performing during Parsippany’s Summer Concert Series in 2015
Street Hassle will perform on Thursday, August 2. 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.
B Street Band will perform on Wednesday, August 8. One of the longest-running tribute bands in the world, the B Street Band, hailing from the same Central Jersey roots as the Boss himself, is the premier Bruce Springsteen tribute band. Performing hundreds of shows all across the country every year, the B Street Band has been one of the most popular acts attracting large audiences. The BStreet Band has been cranking out Springsteen songs since 1980 but also plays tunes from Roy Orbison, Billy Joel, Tom Petty, and John Mellencamp as well as some 1970’s disco and Motown.
Radio Nashville
Radio Nashville will perform on Thursday, August 16. This six piece band hosts three male lead singers, an incredible female lead singer, a beautiful & talented female fiddle player, a pounding rhythm section, and an amazing lead guitarist.

PARSIPPANY — Cub Scout Pack 14 ran a Veggie Derby on Monday, May 7, as its first recruitment for boys and girls who will enter grades K-5 at Eastlake or Lake Parsippany schools next fall.
Cub Scout packs are now permitted to accept girls as members. When they join, children are places in Cub Scout “dens” with other children who are in the same grade. The dens will be all-girl or all-boy so there is still time for “just us girls” or for guys to hang out together.
A Veggie Derby is a silly version of the famous Pinewood Derby races. Boys and girls were given carrots, celery or cucumber and told to be creative. The assortment of eyes, wings, fins and spikes that they added to their veggies was amazing.
Pack 14 is a new Cub Scout pack and will be chartered to the Lake Parsippany Volunteer Fire Company. The pack invites families with children at Eastlake or Lake Parsippany schools to join. Next events will be Stomp Rockets at the Eastlake school gym on Monday, May 14 from 7:00 p.m. to 8:00 p.m. and on Monday, May 21, boys and girls will learn Pickleball at the Lake Parsippany school gym, also from 7:00 p.m. to 8:00 p.m. (Pickleball is game like indoor tennis that is perfect for young children).
Pack 14 will have fun events throughout the summer and begin den meetings in the fall. Boys and girls can also attend Cub Scout day camp at Camp Wheeler in Stanhope or a STEM camp in Cedar Knolls.
For more information about Pack 14, or to learn about Cub Scouts at other Parsippany schools, contact Al Thomas, al.thomas@scouting.org, (973) 765-9322 x229.
