Honoring Robert Onufrick: Celebrating 50 Years of Volunteer Firefighting Service

Rainbow Lakes Volunteer Firefighters stand united to recognize one of their longest-serving members, Robert Onufrick

On Friday, May 17, the Rainbow Lakes Volunteer Fire Company, which serves Parsippany-Troy Hills Fire District Two, honored Robert Onufrick for an extraordinary milestone: 50 years of active service as a volunteer firefighter.

The celebration occurred at The Mansion at Mountain Lakes, where fellow firefighters, family, friends, and neighbors gathered to pay tribute to Onufrick’s enduring dedication to public safety and community service.

Affectionately known as “Bobby O” among his peers, Robert Onufrick took a moment during the ceremony to acknowledge his wife, Mary, for her steadfast support. “Her encouragement made it possible for me to serve this community fully,” he shared. Their partnership was noted as a foundation of his long-standing commitment.

The Morris County Board of Commissioners, Tayfun Selen, and the officers and members of the Rainbow Lakes Volunteer Fire Company also honored him.

Parsippany-Troy Hills Mayor James Barberio expressed his gratitude on behalf of the township, recognizing Onufrick’s five decades of service as a model of civic

responsibility.

One of the afternoon’s highlights was a special exhibit curated by fellow firefighters and Onufrick’s family. The display featured decades of photos, memorabilia, and meaningful artifacts that captured the story of Bobby O’s firefighting journey

and his deep roots in the Rainbow Lakes community.

The event not only honored a milestone but celebrated a life of service that continues to inspire the next generation of first responders in Parsippany.

Commissioner Tayfun Selen, on behalf of the Morris County Board of Commissioners, presents Robert Onufrick with a proclamation recognizing his 50 years of dedication.

Nobody will ever deprive the American people of the right to vote except the American people themselves-and the only way they could do this is by not voting – Franklin D. Roosevelt

Our local election on June 10th may not make national headlines but it will impact our daily lives more than any of the other races. Local elections hold a unique importance. It is here, on the municipal level, where government is closest to the people. Where the decisions made will affect everyone not in theory but in everyday practice. When you vote, you are not just choosing a name on a ballot, you are choosing the direction of your town. Each ballot that is cast contributes to the shaping of our community’s future. Democracy lies in the participation of its people and those citizens who recognize that their voice matters. I urge

everyone who is eligible, to participate fully in the democratic process. Do not take for granted the right that so many before us fought to secure. Your vote makes a promise to a better tomorrow.

What better symbol of democracy, during this election month, is there than our national flag. It waves for every citizen, regardless of background or belief, binding us in a shared identity to our nation. Since June 14, 1777 when our flag was adopted by the Continental Congress, it continues to be a reminder of those virtues that guide us – liberty, unity and democracy. It has been raised in triumph, saluted in solemn remembrance and carried into new frontiers-on Earth and beyond. As we honor our flag this Flag Day let us also reflect on what it

means and to live up to the principles it stands for.

This month we celebrate a date on the calendar that means so much to so many of us. This Father’s Day take a moment to consider the role of our fathers, grandfathers, stepfathers and father figures and how they have impacted our lives. Some may lead by example, some teach through their words and others offer wisdom in silence. They are the quiet strength behind our biggest dreams, they lend us courage when we need it and they are the steady hands that guide us through troubling times with hearts that never stop hoping for our happiness. Today, we thank them for all that they have selflessly given us and let them know how their presence in our lives made

all the difference. We also remember those who are no longer with us and cherish their memories as they remain in our hearts each and every day.

I would like to congratulate all of our graduates on reaching this important milestone in their lives. This is a proud moment and a testament to your hard work and perseverance. I wish you all the best and may your next chapter be filled with success and growth!

As we celebrate all that June has to offer, let’s make sure to take the time to connect with each other by enjoying all that our community offers during the warmer months!

A Heartfelt Thank You as I Begin My Next Chapter

As I prepare to step down from my role as Superintendent of Schools, I find myself reflecting on the incredible journey we’ve shared together over these many years. While retirement marks the end of my formal service to our district, it also provides me with the perfect opportunity to express my deepest gratitude to the remarkable community that has shaped not only our schools, but my life as well.

To Our Dedicated Staff

First and foremost, I want to thank the extraordinary educators, administrators, support staff, and custodial teams who work tirelessly every day to ensure our students receive the best possible education. You are the heart and soul of our district. I have watched you adapt to countless changes, embrace new technologies, navigate challenging times, and consistently put students first. Your creativity in the classroom, your patience with struggling learners, and your celebration of every student success has been nothing short of inspiring.

To our teachers who stay late to help a student understand a difficult concept, our coaches who build character alongside athletic skills, our counselors who provide guidance through life’s challenges, and our support staff who ensure our schools run smoothly – you have my eternal respect and admiration. You didn’t just educate children; you shaped futures.

To Our Families and Community

Our schools are only as strong as the communities they serve, and I have been blessed to work alongside engaged parents, supportive families, and community members who truly understand that education is a shared responsibility. Thank you for your involvement in school activities, your attendance at board meetings, your volunteering hours, and your unwavering support during both celebrations and challenges.

Your trust in our educational mission, even during times of change or difficulty, has been the foundation upon which we’ve built our successes. Whether you were helping with fundraisers, chaperoning field trips, or simply ensuring your children came to school ready to learn, your partnership has been invaluable.

To Our Students – Past and Present

Perhaps my greatest privilege has been watching thousands of young minds grow, discover their passions, and develop into thoughtful, capable individuals ready to make their mark on the world. From kindergarteners taking their first steps into formal learning to high school graduates walking across the stage, each student has taught me something new about resilience, curiosity, and hope. You have challenged us to be better educators, pushed us to think differently about learning, and reminded us daily why we chose this profession. Watching you succeed –whether in academics, arts, athletics, or acts of kindness – has been the greatest reward of my career.

To Our Board of Education

Effective leadership requires collaboration, and I have been fortunate to work with Board members who share a genuine commitment to educational excellence. Thank you for your guidance, your difficult questions that made us stronger, and your support of initiatives that sometimes required taking calculated risks for the betterment of our students.

As I reflect on my tenure, I see not

just the programs we’ve implemented or the buildings we’ve improved, but the relationships we’ve built and the lives we’ve touched together. Education is ultimately about human connections – the bond between teacher and student, the partnership between school and family, and the commitment of a community to its future.

A Final Thank You

To everyone who has been part of this journey – those who challenged me to grow, those who support-ed difficult decisions, and those who celebrated our collective achievements – thank you. You have made my career as an educator not just a job, but a calling that I will treasure for the rest of my life.

Our schools will continue to thrive because they are built on something stronger than any single individual – they are built on the shared commitment of an entire community to nurture and educate its children. That foundation will endure long after any of us have moved on to our next chapters.

With deep gratitude and warm wishes for continued success, Stay well, Dr. Sutter

Community Achievements

Three Parsippany Scouts Honored with Eagle Rank at Troop 173 Ceremony

Their accomplishments were celebrated during the Eagle Court of Honor held on May 18, 2025, at St. Ann Church.

The ceremony commenced with a welcome from Bruce Benson, Committee Chair, and an invocation delivered by Fr. Joseph Garbarino, Pastor of St. Ann Church. Andrew Macedo, senior patrol leader, led the opening and flag salute.

Emcee Isabella Lomelo introduced the special community presentations. The Eagle Scout Obligation, Scout Oath, and Law were recited by Eagle Scouts Ethan Adams and Nick Shatynski. The certification of the Eagle candidates was conducted by Assistant Scoutmaster Matt Enslow.

Assistant Scoutmaster Dan Filipescu presented the Eagle badges to the honored Scouts: Clark LaForteza, Paul Lomelo IV, and Vihas Veggalam. All Eagle Scouts present were invited to come forward and participate in the badge presentation. The ceremony continued with remarks from the newly inducted Eagle Scouts, the Eagle Charge delivered by Les Wu, District Commissioner and Past Scoutmaster, and concluded with a benediction.

The Eagle Scout rank is awarded to Scouts who demonstrate exceptional leadership, service, and commitment to the core values of Scouting. These young men completed challenging service projects, earned merit badges, and served in leadership roles within their troop.

The presentation of the Eagle Scout badge is an important event. It is the goal for which a Scout has worked for many years, an occasion for pride and joy, a time for serious contemplation, and the culmination of the Scout’s efforts and leadership. The Eagle Scout Award is the highest and most coveted rank in Scouting, the last significant step in the advancement program. Fewer than six percent of all Scouts in the United States reach the Eagle Scout rank.

Requirements for Eagle:

•Be active in your troop and patrol for at least six months as a Life Scout.

•Demonstrate Scout spirit by living the Scout Oath and Law daily.

•Earn 21 merit badges, including the 14 that are required: First Aid, Citizenship in the Community, Citizenship in the Nation, Citizenship in Society, Citizenship in the World, Communications, Personal Fitness, Emergency Preparedness, Environmental Science, Personal Management, Swimming, Camping, and Family Life.

•Serve actively in an approved position of responsibility for six months after becoming a Life Scout.

•Plan, develop, and lead others in carrying out a service project worthy of an Eagle Scout.

•Take part in a Scoutmaster conference.

•Appear before a board of review of prominent persons and satisfy them that the Scout has done their best to understand and live up to the Scout Oath and Law and, in all ways, qualify for the Eagle Scout Award.

Clark Laforteza

Clark began his Scouting journey in Cub Scout Pack 218 where he earned the Arrow of Light award and crossed over to Troop 173 in Parsippany.

He advanced and grew in his Scouting

career under the guidance of Scoutmasters Les Wu, Mike Catapano, David Franz, and Paul Lomelo III.

Clark has attempted to give back to Scouting through his various leadership positions within the troop and council, including Troop Guide, Assistant Senior Patrol Leader, Senior Patrol Leader, Lodge Treasurer, and Lodge Vice Chief of Program. Clark has been very active in Troop 173, attending multiple Big Trips to places like Gettysburg, Williamsburg, and Jamestown. Clark has also attended high adventure bases at the 2023 National Jamboree; and his two different Philmont treks in New Mexico.

Clark also participated in the National Youth Leadership Training Conference (NYLT) in August of 2021 and is currently serving his Fourth year on the NYLT staff as a Senior Patrol Leader of a June/July Troop.

In addition, Clark has received the James E. West Fellowship Award from Woapalanne Lodge 43 for his exemplary service to our council. He is also a part of the 2025 Vigil Class for Woapalanne Lodge 43, looking to sit his Vigil in May of 2025. Clark

AB Marketing Group Celebrates Ribbon Cutting for New Parsippany Office

By Raymond Trunk

AB Marketing Group, a digital marketing company based in Parsippany, has officially celebrated its grand opening of a new office suite at 10 Lanidex Plaza West in Suite 212!

The agency, which specializes in online advertising and branding for local businesses in the Morris County area, kicked off its operations with a bang, hosting a jubilant ribboncutting event this past Thursday, May 15th. Among the festivities were a multicolor bouncy house, a pizza vendor serving delectable slices from Calandra’s Bakery, and a DJ booth to keep the energy pumping for the suite’s exciting launch.

However, the one unifying thread among most of these vendors at the company’s ribbon-cutting was simple: ties to the AB Marketing Group. Keeping in theme with the group’s commitment to local community service, many of the companies providing service were clients of the marketing group itself, providing their vendors a great “opportunity for publicity and advertising,” in the words of AB Marketing Group CoOwner Abed Adawi.

Adawi, one of two founders alongside longtime friend Steve Burk, tells the Parsippany Focus that their business came with surprisingly humble beginnings. The firm, which got its true start over eight years ago, was run by just a couple of high school friends, a personal credit card, no investors, and a makeshift office working out of their parents’ basement.

However, as a former student-athlete for Parsippany High School, Adawi was familiar with social media marketing from his time working with brands on the field. It was from that very spark that the idea for the company was built—if Adawi and Burk could give just one person a

space to build their growing career and have the opportunity to thrive, it would all be worth it.

At first working with local pizzerias and gyms, their clientele has since expanded internationally, becoming a marketing hub for illustrious brands such as Lamborghini, BMW North America, and Lithia Motors. Now a seven-figure business, the 40-employee team only aspires to shoot bigger, with the hopes of scaling up to eight or nine figures in the coming years.

Yet, despite their rapid growth, Adawi and Burk have never forgotten their origins: the hometown community that they fostered in Parsippany. Their love for the township, in fact, was the driving catalyst that brought them back to a local suite at Lanidex Plaza as soon as their Bloomfield office lease expired, and the pair still works regionally to keep publicity for Morris County businesses up and running.

“We’re always looking to recruit new talent!” Adawi tells the Focus. “Team culture is a big thing for our

company, and we’re always looking to take care of our employees.”

“It’s inspiring to see young entrepreneurs like Abed and Steve return to their roots and give back to the community that helped shape them,” said Frank Cahill, Chairman of the Parsippany-Troy Hills Economic Development Committee. “Their success is a testament to what can be achieved when talent, dedication, and community support come together.” With a multifarious business approach that incorporates video production, website building, and online advertising all into its broad portfolio of expertise, the group is actively seeking to expand its clientele with large and small businesses alike.

While ribbon cuttings are part of the fun at AB Marketing, the spirit of the community has driven their firm from a small start-up to an internationally recognized agency. For the two best friends who made it big in digital marketing, all the merriment would have never been possible without the support of their family, some ardent resolve, and a whole lot of hometown backing.

Abed Adawi, co-founder of AB Marketing Group, cuts the ribbon for the new office at Suite 212 alongside other co-founder Steve Burk at 10 Lanidex Plaza West, joined by employees, community members, and family.

Kenneth “Kenny” Johnson, A Parsippany High School Alumnus, Graduates from Prestigious United States Naval Academy

By Raymond Trunk

Kenneth “Kenny” Johnson, a graduate of the Parsippany High School Class of 2021, graduated from the United States Naval Academy, receiving his Bachelor of Science Degree in Ocean and Atmospheric Sciences during a stately ceremony on the campus grounds in Annapolis, Maryland. Johnson’s esteemed journey from high school graduate to nationally recognized Midshipman began a little under a decade ago, years before his Naval Academy days had even

commenced. At just fourteen years of age, Kenny Johnson took a seat at his family’s dinner table, called his parents’ attention, and announced that he was firmly and unwaveringly committed to serving in the military upon his graduation from Parsippany High.

“It was just a sense of pride and awe for our family,” Luz Johnson, Kenny’s mother, tells the Parsippany Focus. For Kenny, who has extensive military roots on both his

maternal and paternal sides, making the commitment was a no-brainer—even if it meant years of sedulous training as a Midshipman on top of hours of coursework. And yet, honoring his wish, the Johnson family took college visits to various prestigious academies in the years leading up to his graduation, including one to the United States Military Academy at West Point and, to his eventual alma mater, the United States Naval Academy.

(Continued on Page 16)

Kenneth “Kenny” Johnson, Parsippany High Class of 2021, graduates from the U.S. Naval Academy, earning a B.S. in Ocean and Atmospheric Sciences and joining the U.S. Marine Corps as Second Lieutenant.

Kenneth “Kenny” Johnson, A Parsippany High School Alumnus, Graduates from Prestigious United States Naval Academy

Upon bearing witness to the earnest and dignified work that the Midshipmen were undertaking, Kenny knew in his heart that he’d committed to the Naval Academy long before his college application cycle had even started. It’s for that very reason that, when his mother got the heartfelt call from her son at work that he had been admitted to the academy, the tears took no time to start flowing.

“I was at work when he called, and Kenny never calls me at work, so I wasn’t fully sure what had happened,” Mrs. Johnson recounts. “But from the very moment he told me he was accepted, we were all just so excited, I could barely understand him over the phone!”

During his time at the academy, Johnson underwent various leadership and military training programs, sacrificing his summers for bettering his craft.

Throughout the entirety of his program, however, among visits and arduous service missions, one thing always remained constant: Johnson’s smile. In the face of painstaking training that would normally render someone drained, it often had the opposite effect: bolstering his dedication to serving his nation.

Back in Parsippany, Johnson’s allegiance to service was just as strong. A varsity athlete for both football and basketball, Johnson worked with the Parsippany PAL and served as a youth leader for various local sports teams, guiding Parsippany youth to similarly prosperous futures. And still, on top of advanced coursework and athletic devotion, Johnson made the independent decision to work part-time, with the goal of funding his own future.

Dr. Denis Mulroony, Assistant Superintendent for Curriculum and former principal of Parsippany High School, proudly tells the Focus that his experience with Johnson was nothing short of delightful. He describes him as an ”intelligent and dedicated student who challenged himself throughout high school… treating people with respect and doing the right thing.” He later tells the Focus that at the end of the day, “Kenny’s success at Annapolis is a testament to the type of students, athletes, leaders, and people that they are!”

Now a graduated alumnus of Parsippany High School, Johnson has spent a portion of his last four years back in his hometown, educating students on his experiences in the academy and encouraging prospective students to look into military academies as

alternative options to the normal four-year path.

For Parsippany, Johnson’s achievements are a marker of not only individual accomplishment, but a point of pride for Parsippany collectively. Alongside fellow Class of 2021 Parsippany High School alumnus and longtime friend CJ Bernauer, two Parsippany graduates have officially graduated from two distinct military academies—a veritable triumph for the town’s reputation.

For Kenny and his family, who has undertaken his service with humbleness and grace, being a graduate of the Naval Academy is more than just an honor—it’s evidence of his character. For the countless everyday feats that remain unsung, from nuggets of youth mentorship to church service in his Parsippany days, it’s refreshing for his family to finally see his training recognized. In fact, in hopes of bringing more awareness to military careers for budding Parsippany youth, to accomplish this for generations beyond, Mrs. Luz Johnson and Mrs. Stacey Bernauer, mother of recent West Point graduate CJ Bernauer, have given out multiple military awards over the past few years. As each year passes, their initiative has only continued growing, and they’re delighted to present their next awards at Parsippany High School’s June 4th senior awards ceremony. Kenny Johnson now takes on the role as Second Lieutenant in the United States Marine Corps— and if his past deeds are any indication—one can imagine he’ll assume the role with the same dignity and purpose that he’s fulfilled thus far in all other aspects of his life.

Preserving the Past, Inspiring the Future:

Lake Hiawatha has long been one of Parsippany’s most distinctive neighborhoods—defined by its rich history, close-knit community, and the charm of North Beverwyck Road’s local businesses and eateries. Nestled between lush trees and lakeside homes, this area holds immense potential as a thriving, walkable town center. But in recent years, residents have voiced a common refrain: “It feels like we’ve been left behind.” Underinvestment, constant disruptions from poorly planned infrastructure projects, and rising concerns over safety and cleanliness have all dimmed the neighborhood’s once-bright promise.

Now, a new team is ready to flip the script.

Parsippany Councilman Justin Musella, alongside former Planning Board Chair Casey Parikh and community advocate John Bielen, is leading a bold initiative to reclaim Lake Hiawatha’s status as a jewel of the township. Their vision? Strategic investment, smart development, and a renewed partnership with the community— starting from the ground up.

bold, community-first plan to revitalize one of Parsippany’s most historic neighborhoods.

A Fresh Approach for a Beloved Neighborhood

“Lake Hiawatha doesn’t need to be reinvented—it just needs to be respected,” says Musella. “With the right leadership, we can create

public spaces, and appreciate the charm that makes Parsippany feel like home.

a safer, cleaner, and more vibrant neighborhood that honors the people who live and work here.”

At the heart of their plan is a commitment to real results, not ribbon cuttings—and an understanding that good government starts with listening. Here’s how they plan to get it done:

1. A Grant Writer That Delivers Musella, Parikh and Bielen propose hiring a full-time township grant writer to aggressively pursue funding opportunities that have historically gone untapped. In 2024, Parsippany only brought in $160,463 compared to neighboring Rockaway Township that brought in almost $2,000,000. From road repairs and public safety to small business development and flood prevention, millions in state and federal dollars are available—but require planning and initiative.

“We want to make sure that Parsippany is no longer leaving money on the table,” says Parikh. “Every dollar we bring in is a dollar we don’t have to raise through taxes.”

allow residents to track applications, wins, and funding progress in real time—bringing a new era of transparency to local government.

2. A Better Beverwyck Road

North Beverwyck Road should be the heartbeat of Lake Hiawatha—walkable, welcoming, and lined with thriving small businesses. But instead of smart revitalization, recent years have brought construction delays, cluttered sidewalks, and heavy machinery that chokes off customer access.

Musella’s team aims for a better path: •Coordinated construction schedules that minimize disruption to businesses along North Beverwyck.

•Public-private partnerships to beautify storefronts and public spaces.

•Modernized zoning codes to make it easier for small businesses—not just large developers—to grow.

“Let’s stop ripping up the same sidewalks every few years and start building something that lasts,” says Bielen. “This should be a destination, not a detour.”

3. Infrastructure That Works

From stormwater runoff to cracked roads, Lake Hiawatha needs reliable infrastructure that supports growth and ensures safety. The team’s “Fix First, Flash Later” philosophy means prioritizing long-overdue improvements to roads, drainage, lighting, and signage—before launching new streetscape designs.

Parikh, who spent decades in infrastructure management, knows how to balance cost, durability, and community needs.

“Before we worry about bricks and banners, let’s fix what’s broken—and do it right the first time,” he says.

4. Safe, Clean, and Proud Public safety is a top concern—and Musella’s team wants to bring policing and code enforcement closer to the community. Plans include:

•Increased neighborhood patrols to address speeding, vandalism, and loitering.

•Stronger property maintenance enforcement to eliminate eyesores and raise neighborhood morale.

•Smart investment in lighting, signage, and crosswalk safety, especially in underlit or high-traffic areas. The team is also committed to expanding community pride initiatives—installing flagpoles, planting trees, and supporting civic organizations like the Friends of Lake Hiawatha that involve schools, businesses, and residents alike.

A Future Worth Fighting For

This isn’t just a campaign platform— it’s a community blueprint. The Musella-Parikh-Bielen plan is rooted in experience, fueled by transparency, and shaped by hundreds of conversations with Lake Hiawatha residents and business owners.

“Lake Hiawatha isn’t asking for special treatment—it’s asking for fair treatment,” Musella says. “We’re here to deliver that with smart planning, persistent advocacy, and above all, respect for the people who call this place home.”

Whether it’s restoring walkability on Beverwyck, securing critical infrastructure grants, or ensuring clean and safe parks for families, the message is clear: Lake Hiawatha matters.

And with the right leadership, its best days are ahead.

Potential Side Bar Graphic: What’s Next for Lake Hiawatha?

Here’s what residents can expect in the first 12 months under the Musella team’s plan:

•Establishment of a new dedicated grant writer

•Comprehensive road and sidewalk audit—with prioritized repairs

•Launch of the “Pride in Parsippany” business beautification program

•Improved street lighting and signage along River and Vail Roads

•Increased code enforcement for neglected properties

•Public community forums to shape long-term vision for Beverwyck Road

For his Eagle Project, Vihas worked with his Eagle Coach, Dan Filipescu, and his beneficiary representative, Daniel Nazzaro from Lake Parsippany Property Owners Association, to oversee construction of two self-serve public bike repair stations for the cyclist community. They were installed around Lake Parsippany.

Currently, Vihas is a Senior at the Academy for Mathematics, Science, and Engineering and is a member of the tennis team, where he reached county semi-finals and helped his team reach state sectional semi-finals.

Additionally, Vihas serves as a mentor in using the school maker spaces for his peers and students on the robotics team. Outside of school, Vihas is on a robotics team where he helped bring the team to the State Championships for 3 years as both a programmer and robot driver during competitions.

He also brought the robotics team to the troop, where he helped all in attendance complete the Robotics merit badge. Last summer, he started a job working as a tennis coach at the Brooklake Country Club summer camp, which he plans to continue this year.

Through the Scouting program, Vihas gained a new appreciation for the outdoors and aspires to stay involved as a merit badge counselor in the future.

This fall, Vihas will be attending the University of Texas at Austin, where he will major in Electrical and Computer

Bright Young Women by Jessica Knoll

By Julia DiGeronimo

Bright Young Women by Jessica Knoll is an unsettling exploration of women who were murdered by a serial killer and then let down by society.

Knoll’s book is a fictional retelling of the Ted Bundy murder cases from 1974 to 1978.

Knoll took Bundy’s history and explored different aspects of it through fictional characters. She excelled in creating an entertaining story while keeping the storyline historically accurate.

What I loved most about the book was that Knoll focussed less on Bundy and more on the people affected by the murders and the misogyny associated with the events. While Ted Bundy is known as the serial killer who nearly got away with killing young women, the most defining feature from the cases is his attractiveness.

Ted Bundy escaped prison twice and held a strong case in trial because of how he looked and acted like a handsome gentleman. Knoll made sure to include how presenting himself as a respectable law-student who couldn’t have committed these murders helped him evade the law for four years.

Knoll’s book is split between two different characters. Our main character, Pamela Schumacher, is the president of her sorority and finds herself face-first in the chaos of one of Ted Bundy’s murders.

When one of Pamela’s sorority sisters is murdered, as president of the sorority, Pamela is the person who deals and speaks with the police department after the

murder. She struggles to advocate for herself and her sorority.

I really enjoyed how Knoll’s main point of the book isn’t to talk about Ted Bundy, but to illustrate how young women aren’t taken seriously or respected by authority figures. Knoll’s included scenes where Pamela is dismissed by the cops and not taken seriously despite having real evidence and knowledge on the case.

There are many instances where the press or officers investigating the murders tried to put the blame on the victims by saying they were “asking for it.” Knoll emphasized how mistreated the victims and people associated with the murders were.

Knoll talked about how much fanfare there was over Ted Bundy because of how attractive he was. Her way of doing the opposite, she focussed on the victims and their experiences, which is what people should’ve been doing all along.

One of the book’s main points was how women are taught that they shouldn’t speak up when they’re uncomfortable. Knoll used her characters and true stories from the murders to show her readers how women are raised to stay quiet and cater to men. One of the murders described is a result of a woman not wanting to say no to a lonely man who needed help. By choosing to describe this specific murder case, Knoll is showing her readers that raising girls with this mindset is dangerous. I really loved this part of the book.

An interesting style choice is that she only ever refers to the murderer as The Defendant. This further takes the power and

focus away from him and shines it on our main character and the victims. This also allows the book to not be about Ted Bundy but the victims.

I found myself consumed by this book because of how Knoll uniquely added new and creative perspectives to a story that’s been told dozens of times. I liked how it didn’t feel like I was reading a book about a murderer and instead, I was reading a story about women who stood up for themselves.

While I loved the book, I was incredibly frustrated with it, but in a good way. Knoll told her story so successfully that I was angry for most of the story. I was angry at the situations that the characters found themselves in and angry that these experiences aren’t fictional. I kept reminding myself that Knoll didn’t make up the plot and that Ted Bundy’s case was handled so poorly in real life.

I recommend this book to mystery lovers and anyone who wants an intriguing story to suck them in.

Meet Couscous: A Gentle Soul Ready for Her Forever Home

Nestled in a quiet foster home, a gentle little dog named Couscous is enjoying the first peaceful days of her life—and now she’s ready to find a forever family to call her own.

Couscous, a 10-year-old female Maltese, was rescued from heartbreaking conditions after spending her entire life as a breeding dog in a puppy mill. When her breeders decided she was no longer “useful,” they planned to discard her. Fortunately, WISE Animal Rescue, a nonprofit dedicated to saving animals in need, stepped in just in time.

Today, Couscous is thriving in the loving care of her foster family and receiving the attention she’s always deserved. Weighing in as a small companion with a big heart, she is soft-spoken, affectionate, and loves nothing more than simply being close to her human. Her days are filled with naps, birdwatching from the back deck, quiet curiosity around the house, and the joy of reflection— literally—as she finds fascination in shiny surfaces that show her own little face.

“She’s just the sweetest,” says her foster mom. “She’s the kind of dog who reminds you to slow down and appreciate the moment. Whether she’s resting by your feet or giving you a gentle nudge for a lift onto the couch, Couscous brings a calm presence into your life.”

She’s not one to chase toys or beg for treats, but she adores being near her person. A peaceful home, especially one with a retiree or someone who works from home, would be ideal. Couscous would do well with children over 10, gets along with other dogs, and is unfazed by household noise—even the vacuum cleaner. Her behavior around cats is still unknown, but her mild temperament suggests she may adapt well.

Couscous has also made great progress in her training. She enjoys short, leisurely walks and has recently learned to do her business outside—a big milestone for a dog new to freedom. At night, she sleeps quietly in her crate and is just as content being crated while her foster is out. Though a little nervous when picked up, she relaxes quickly and enjoys the snuggles, letting out the softest little snores during nap time.

Because of her small size and age, Couscous cannot jump on or off furniture, but she communicates when she wants help getting to her favorite cozy spot. She allows gentle grooming and is incredibly patient during routine care like brushing and eye cleaning.

WISE Animal Rescue is entirely volunteer-run, and all donations go directly to supporting animals like

Couscous. Some dogs require only basic medical care, while others, like Couscous, need more time, patience, and resources to heal physically and emotionally. To support these efforts, WISE requires a minimum donation of $850 from adopters. This contribution helps provide care not only for the dog being adopted but also for others still waiting for their second chance.

“The donation helps us continue our mission,” says the rescue’s cofounder. “We couldn’t do this without the support of adopters and donors who understand the value of what we do.”

From humble beginnings in a dark puppy mill to the warmth of a cozy foster home, Couscous has come a long way. Now, she’s hoping to complete her journey by finding a forever family willing to offer her the love, peace, and companionship she has never known until now.

Environmental Advisory Committee Goes Native

By Thomas Mongelli, PEAC Committee Member

Do you remember a time when you and the family would pile into the car for a summer road trip?

After a while of driving, the front of the car would be a graveyard of squashed bugs.

Those days are no more. Insect populations are in decline with some loss estimates as high as 75% over the past 30 years.

Many of these species you’ve likely not heard of, but others such as the monarch butterfly are widely recognized and enjoyable to watch.

The bird species that rely on these insects to survive are in trouble as well. For example, a single clutch of chickadees requires anywhere from six to nine thousand caterpillars to reach adulthood.

Around 75% of bird species in North America are in decline, with

over three billion fewer birds in the skies today than in 1970.

An easy way that we can help reverse these trends is by planting native species.

Take the monarch butterfly. While adults can feed on nectar at a number of different flower species, their caterpillars mainly feed on only one: milkweeds. Despite the name, these plants form beautiful flowers that persist all summer long, can be a number of different colors, and, most importantly, several species are native right here in New Jersey.

How can you get started? First, start by researching New Jersey native plants at The Native Plant Society of NJ https://npsnj.org/. Choose a plant that interests you. With over 1,000 native flowers, ferns, trees, shrubs, and vines to choose from in Morris County alone, there is bound to be one (or more!) that can fit into your home landscape. Next, find a garden center or nursery and ask for native plants. The best way to

increase native plant availability is to increase demand. Many of these species can also be started from seed at a very low cost. Finally, get those plants in the ground at home! Don’t let the perfect be the enemy of the good. You don’t need to rip out your entire lawn or existing landscaping to get started. Plant along a fenceline or wet area of the lawn where you never can seem to get grass to grow. If you can replace an invasive species with a native species, even better. Every little bit helps.

The Parsippany Environmental Advisory Committee (PEAC) started a pollinator garden filled with New Jersey native species on the side of the main library. Residents are encouraged to come check it out. Hopefully, you’ll be inspired to start your own and show off your pride in Parsippany. Please reach out to us for guidance and resources on how to get started through Facebook. You can also go to Instagram @ parsippany_environmentalists for more information. Happy planting!

Morris County Correctional Facility Passes State Inspection

Morris County Sheriff James M. Gannon confirmed that the Morris County Correctional Facility has completed and passed its New Jersey Adult Correctional Facilities Inspection for the year 2024. Every year, the correctional facility undergoes strict scrutiny from the State of New Jersey to ensure that State standards are being met. Evaluations are made on the physical plant, the professional staff, and the services provided.

This year’s inspector was Program Specialist 4 Christel Jackson-Lee. The inspection lasted five days. Cpl. Michael Chereches acted as facility liaison and accompanied Inspector Jackson-Lee while she was at the facility.

Initial reports by Inspector JacksonLee regarded how impressed she was with the facility, specifically stating how clean and sanitary the jail was. Inspector Jackson-Lee commended the staff on the professionalism exhibited and the knowledge possessed by the employees, garnered as she interacted

with them.

The Manual of Standards for New Jersey Adult County Correctional Facilities outlines the obligations for the care and custody of all individuals residing at correctional facilities in the State. Assessor JacksonLee determined the Morris County Correctional Facility complied with all New Jersey Administrative Code 10A:31 standards.

During the exit interview, Inspector Jackson-Lee stated, “As always, I came to your agency, and I see the most professional operation one could hope for. The staff, stretching from the Undersheriff to the most inexperienced officer, displays the utmost professionalism to me and to the inmate population. When I interviewed the inmates, they were complimentary when speaking about this facility. The inmates couldn’t be happier, from the food to the cleanliness, and especially medical services.”

Sheriff Gannon remarked, “I am

pleased and very proud of our personnel at the correctional facility. They maintain peaceful order in a state-of-the-art facility, all while walking the toughest beat in Morris County. I do not doubt that Warden Chris Klein and his Command Staff will continue to strive to enhance the performance of our correctional police officers and improve the care and custody of those housed in our jail. The people of Morris County expect no less.”

The Facility is part of the triple crown distinction of the Morris County Sheriff’s Office which is defined as the attainment of the Commission on Accreditation for Law Enforcement Agencies (CALEA) Accreditation for Law Enforcement, American Correctional Association (ACA) Accreditation for Corrections, and National Commission on Correctional Health Care (NCCHC) Accreditation for Corrections. The Sheriff’s Office has also received the Highlands Forensics Certification pertaining to crime scene processing and evidence management.

The Morris County Correctional Facility, located at 43 John Street in Morris Township, serves as the primary detention center operated by the Morris County Sheriff’s Office.
