HANOVER TOWNSHIP — Hanover Township seniors who attended this year’s annual picnic held on Wednesday, August 21 at the Multi-Purpose Community Center had the opportunity to mingle with members of Hanover Township Police Benevolent Association (P.B.A.) Local 128.   As an outgrowth of the Local’s decision earlier this year to make a donation to the club to pay for the food and paper supplies for the picnic, a few off-duty officers  volunteered to attend the event to help the seniors with the work involved with hosting it.

“When I put sponsorship of the picnic to a vote among our members this spring as one of our community donation options” noted P.B.A. Local 128 President Joe Quinn, “our officers voted overwhelmingly to go forward with it.  But our members wanted to do even more than pay for the food — that’s when they offered to sign up if they were available to lend a hand where they could and be present for the seniors.”

Lieutenant Ryan Williams, Peter Kahn, and Hanover Township DPW Superintendent Brian Foran

“We’re grateful to our local P.B.A. for their generous sponsorship of our picnic and for the offer to help,” commented Hanover Township Senior Citizens Club President George Coppola.  “With the assistance we get from the staff of our Department of Public Works in picking up and grilling the food, and our Recreation Department in overseeing the room set-up and making us feel at home, we thought the best way to take the P.B.A. up on their kind offer was to have them join us to chat with our members during the picnic.”

P.B.A. Local 128 President Joe Quinn and Harry Elfers share a “high five” during this year’s Hanover Township Senior Citizens Club picnic. P.B.A. Local 128 donated the money for the food and paper goods for the event and joined the seniors to chat

Township Committeeman Mike Mihalko, who serves as the governing body’s liaison to the Hanover Township Senior Citizens Club, also attended.  “It’s great to see our seniors enjoying themselves at this event,” said Mihalko.  “And having P.B.A. Local 128 members join them this year was a nice addition that gave them an opportunity to get to know our community’s police officers in a relaxed, informal setting.”

Governor Murphy Signs Legislation Restricting Sale or Lease of Dental Provider Contracts

Assemblywoman BettyLou DeCroce (File Photo)

PARSIPPANY — Delta Dental of New Jersey, the state’s largest dental benefits provider, has announced passage of legislative bill S2507, which restricts the sale or lease of access to dental provider network contracts, which is sometimes referred to as creating “Silent PPOs.”

“Delta Dental of New Jersey is proud that we directly contract with all our participating dentists and have never leased our network of dentists from another company,” said Dr. Keith Libou, Chief Clinical Officer for Delta Dental of New Jersey and Delta Dental of Connecticut. “Most major dental insurance carriers in New Jersey patch together their network of dentists by “leasing” access to the networks of other companies. This important legislation will minimize confusion for both dentists and patients and ensure that contracts and costs for services are clear, transparent, and fair.”

Network leasing is a practice whereby a Preferred Provider Organization (PPO) rents (leases) its dental network from other carriers. As a result, the rented PPO’s in-network dentists are now considered in-network for the PPOs of the carrier that holds the lease agreement. The dentist must unknowingly accept that network’s patients and terms without having agreed to them. The patient does not become aware of this until they submit a claim and receive an Explanation of Benefits and may see higher-than-expected out-of-pocket costs. The practice, while beneficial to carriers, can result in unexpected costs for patients, network instability and confusion, and lost business for dental care providers. The New Jersey Dental Association and the American Dental Association has described this trade practice as unfair and unjust.

A key provision under the new law is that dentists now need to be explicitly informed of network leasing agreements by insurers. This provides dentists with an informed opportunity to refuse to sign a contract – or to opt out of an existing contract – giving them more control over the networks in which they participate. Previously, dentists typically did not have a say in their involvement within a lease arrangement when they contracted with a carrier that leased its networks from another entity.

“We applaud Assemblywoman BettyLou DeCroce and Assemblyman Joe Danielsen for sponsoring this bill, and Governor Murphy for signing it,” said Jeff Furbish, Chief Sales Officer for Delta Dental of New Jersey and Delta Dental of Connecticut. “This legislation will enhance transparency and peace of mind for countless New Jersey dentists and patients, regardless of their dental carrier.”

Silent PPO legislation has been addressed throughout the country. New Jersey is now the 16th state to regulate or prohibit the practice. Every state has based their legislation on the same set of facts: credentialing standards of the leased dentists, quality issues, and confusion regarding coinsurance and copays.

Delta Dental of New Jersey suggests that policyholders ask their dental insurer if their network of dentists is leased and sold.  

Offering dental benefits since 1969, Delta Dental of New Jersey’s mission is to promote oral health to the greatest number of people by providing accessible dental benefit programs of the highest quality, service, and value. We are a not-for-profit service corporation and, as a member of Delta Dental Plans Association, we’re part of a network that provides national dental coverage to more than 73 million people.

Morris County Narcotics Task Force Seize CDS From The Nutrition Zone

In March, Fairfield Police raided a Nutrition Zone store, seizing about 61 bottles and arresting a man they believe was selling the drug

MORRIS COUNTY — Morris County Prosecutor Fredric M. Knapp, Acting Chief of Investigations Christoph Kimker, and Rockaway Borough Police Chief Conrad Pepperman announce the arrest of Ronald V. Castellano, 55, Chester, on charges stemming from an illegal drug distribution investigation.

During the month of August 2019, members of the Rockaway Borough Police Department received information concerning the belief that Catnip Cocktail was being distributed from within the Nutrition Zone, located at 350 Route 46, Rockaway Borough.

Catnip Cocktail, also known as Lucky 7 and Yohoo Cleaner, is a Schedule I CDS identified as 1, 4-Butanediol, which mimics the date-rape drug Gamma-Hydroxybutyric Acid (commonly known as GHB) once ingested.

The investigation resulted in the September 3 seizure of sixty-eight (68) bottles of this Controlled Dangerous Substance from within the store, over one-thousand dollars ($1,000) and a 2017 Bentley Continental GT.

Castellano is charged with Possession of a Controlled Dangerous Substance, a crime of the third degree in violation of N.J.S.A. 2C:35-10a(1); Possession with Intent to Distribute a Controlled Dangerous Substance, a crime of the third degree in violation of N.J.S.A. 2C:35-5a(1)b(13); and Conspiracy to Distribute a Controlled Dangerous Substance, a crime of the third degree in violation of N.J.S.A. 2C:5-2a(1) and N.J.S.A. 2C:35-5a(1)b(13).  He is currently in custody at the Morris County Correctional Facility awaiting his First Appearance.

Prosecutor Knapp stated, “This is a very harmful substance and unfortunately its abuse is on the rise.  The Morris County Narcotics Task Force will continue to vigorously investigate and prosecute its illegal sale and possession”.

Prosecutor Knapp wishes to thank the Rockaway Borough Police Department and Detectives from the Morris County Prosecutor’s Office Special Operations Division for their dedication and commitment during this investigation.

The investigation and prosecution is being conducted by the Morris County Prosecutor’s Office Special Operations Division.  Chief Assistant Prosecutor Brad Seabury and Assistant Prosecutor Noelle Fiorentino are representing the State in this matter.

Editor’s Note: An arrest or the signing of a criminal complaint is merely an accusation.  Despite this accusation, the defendants are presumed innocent unless and until he or she has been proven guilty beyond a reasonable doubt in a court of law.
