Shuttling people from their homes to their jobs should be a milk run – an efficient, affordable, convenient experience – yet New Jersey Transit has managed to turn it into a bureaucratic abomination. Look at it pragmatically: What sense does it make to hike fares by 9 percent, which is the mugging it has planned for…
TRENTON — A northern New Jersey doctor has been sentenced to five years in state prison for conspiring with a drug dealer and others to illegally distribute thousands of painkillers. State authorities say Eugene Evans Jr. wrote fraudulent prescriptions for people he never treated. The 56-year-old Roselle Park resident had pleaded guilty in April to distributing…

PARSIPPANY — Uncle Sam’s Avengers Motorcycle Club (USAMC) recently held a Beefsteak Fundraiser, and the proceeds were donated to Nick Taylor. The fundraiser was held on Friday, June 19 at The Russian Hall, Little Falls.
On Saturday, June 27, USAMC President Dan Bendas and Vice President Ted Anderson presented Marine Nick Taylor with a check for $5,500. Nick’s girlfriend, Emily Ward and his sister Samantha Taylor looks on.

The 21-year-old Marine and Chester resident graduated from Mendham High School and attended Rutgers University for a year. Nick realized his career path was better suited to be clad in fatigues, and set off for Parris Island, South Carolina in May 2014.
He graduated in August 2014, then moved on to the School of Infantry at Camp Geiger in North Carolina for two months before graduating in November 2014 and becoming a Marine.
Taylor moved to the Twenty-Nine Palms Marine base in California to continue his new life when tragedy struck.
According to a recent GoFundMe page set up by Taylor’s family, three weeks after resuming his California training, Nick was in a major car crash with fellow Marines.
As a result of the rollover crash, Taylor’s injuries led him to be paralyzed from the waist down. Those injuries included a broken sternum, multiple broken ribs, a ruptured spleen, a broken hand, and a complete crush to his T4/T5 vertebra.
Taylor returned to New Jersey in mid-December and is continuing rehabilitation at Kessler Rehabilitation Center, Chester. He underwent another surgery in February to rectify the original spinal surgery that took place after the crash.
Taylor was able to spend a week at his parent’s home in March before returning for additional rehabilitation.
“Although Nick has the support of the entire Marine Corp behind him, as well as wonderful insurance, he and his family still have a lot of out-of-pocket expenses,” according to the GoFundMe page set up to help with expenses. “There is a lot of work underway to make the house a home for him and his “new normal” life. Expenses will include medical equipment, ADA home improvements, and car modifications.”
Uncle Sam’s Avengers Motorcycle Club (USAMC) is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization, founded in 2009 in Morris County.
They support the communities in which they live and work, by organizing and participating in events that assist Active Duty Military, Veterans, Law Enforcement Officers, Firefighters, Emergency Medical Technicians (EMT) and children or families in need of our help. USAMC rides for charity.
Uncle Sam’s Avengers is comprised of active and retired Law Enforcement Officers, U.S. Military, Firemen, and E.M.T.’s.
Their mission is to bring together a group of patriots who share an enthusiasm of motorcycles and promote this enthusiasm throughout the community with our camaraderie through group rides, and charitable events.
