Hazardous weather outlook for the pending storm

PARSIPPANY — The National Weather Service has issued a hazardous weather outlook for the pending storm scheduled for Thursday, February 9.

The current forecast suggests that we will experience significant snowfall amounts which have the potential to cause travel delays on Thursday morning and afternoon. The data indicates a wintry mix is expected to approach the area between midnight and 1:00 a.m. to 3:00 a.m. on Thursday, which is expected to change over to snow shortly after.

In addition, the data suggests that snow will become heavy and continue through mid-morning with snowfall rates over 1” per hour, with the possibility of 2-3” per hour, depending on the storm track. Current data shows that snow will diminish between 12pm-2pm on Thursday. We continue to see varying snowfall totals depending on which model you look at. However, the ranges are between 4-10” depending on your location within Morris County. This data may change as we get closer to the event.

We will continue to monitor the storm as we receive updated information!

Inglesino’s law firm donates $10,000 to nonprofit

PARSIPPANY — The Parsippany law firm Inglesino, Webster, Wyciskala & Taylor has donated $10,000 to Community Access Unlimited (CAU) for general support of the agency’s programs, services and members. This is the second year the firm has made this donation. Partner John Inglesino is Parsippany-Troy Hills Township Attorney. 

Inglesino, Webster, Wyciskala & Taylor is located at 600 Parsippany Road.

Community Access Unlimited (CAU), a statewide nonprofit providing support programs and services to adults with disabilities as well as youth served under the Department of Children and Families (DCF) to enable them to live independently in the community, providing supports in areas including housing, vocational skills and life-skills training, education, advocacy and recreation.

“We support the great things Community Access Unlimited does,” said Lisa Taylor, a partner in the firm. “I don’t think the agency can have a better name. Community Access provides people with disabilities with access to housing, employment, life-skills training, advocacy and more so they can live meaningful lives in the community.”

Inglesino, Webster, Wyciskala & Taylor is a boutique law firm providing legal services in a variety of areas, including litigation, municipal law, real estate, land use and redevelopment, healthcare law, property tax appeals and aviation.

Taylor became familiar with CAU through her work with the Alliance for the Betterment of Citizens with Disabilities, a coalition of provider agencies in the social services sector that works to improve the lives of individuals with multiple physical and developmental disabilities through early intervention, special education, Medicaid, workforce development, support coordination and affordable and accessible housing.

“Community Access is increasingly supporting other nonprofits in the community,” she said. “It’s really about an organization and its people supporting other organizations and people who are doing such great things. The opportunities are unlimited.”

Sid Blanchard, CAU executive director, said the firm’s donation will support the agency’s mission.

“At Community Access Unlimited we believe in community,” he said. “That means enabling people with disabilities to live fully integrated lives in the community, living and working in and contributing to the community, as well as helping other organizations so collectively we build an even healthier community.

“This donation from Inglesino, Webster, Wyciskala & Taylor will go far toward helping us continue to improve the lives of our members through our array of programs and services. We can’t say thank you enough.”

Local resident travels to India to distribute Dental Hygiene Kits

PARSIPPANY — Local Parsippany resident, Pratik Pathak traveled over 8,000 miles to Saraspur, Ahmedabad, Gujarat, India to distribute 1,000 dental hygiene kits containing a toothbrush and toothpaste.

“Every six months, see your dentist. Brush your teeth at least twice a day. Seems like common knowledge for people all around the world. It’s not until I traveled 8,000 miles eastward that I realized this was not so. I visited Saraswati Vidya Mandal School in Saraspur, Ahmedabad, Gujarat, India and found it to be one of the most humbling experiences of my life,” said Pathak.

He continued “Through contact with the Arpan Trust and assistance from my local dentist, I had collected and created about 1,000 dental hygiene kits containing a toothbrush and toothpaste expecting to teach a couple of children from lower-class backgrounds about dental hygiene. Upon entering the school and speaking with the principal, I immediately was forced to discard all my expectations. The fact that these students from ages 6 to 11 had never even heard of the word “dentist” was completely foreign to me. To the best of my ability, with aid from a dentist, I educated these children about dental hygiene using their native tongue of Gujarati. After distributing my kits and seeing the looks of pure joy on the children’s faces, I realized I had gained so much from this experience. For the first time, I was able to see the world from a different point of view, that of a “developing nation.” No longer can I take for granted something so seemingly basic as the opportunity to have clean teeth. The people in that school, teachers, students, and administrators alike, had no previous opportunities at the knowledge that I had been told every single day of my life.”

Pratik Pathak distributed1,000 dental hygiene kits containing a toothbrush and toothpaste and taught the children about good dental hygiene.
