HANOVER TOWNSHIP — The Hanover Township Committee publicly recognized the six Memorial Junior School students whose submissions for the municipality’s contest “Put a Lid on it to Keep Water Clean!” were selected as the top entries, on May 9. School and board of education officials, members of the Whippany River Watershed Action Committee, Hanover Township’s Green Team, and municipal staff joined the families of winners Jenna Geelan, Kaden Kohler, Nicole D’Angelo, Jessica Ignozza and Gabriela Brulato to applaud their outstanding achievement. Amanda Leonard was unable to attend. Her award was accepted on her behalf by Computer Science teacher Christine Fox, who coordinated with the Township to invite interested students to participate and guide them on the graphic design requirements for their posters.
The contest challenged students in sixth, seventh and eighth grades to craft posters to be used to educate the public about the role litter plays in non-point source pollution and how something as simple as using waste container lids helps keep lakes, streams and rivers clean. Two winners from each of the three grades were selected by Hanover’s panel of judges, made up of the Township Engineer, the Department of Public Works Clean Communities Coordinator, and Administration’s Community Affairs/Public Policy Coordinator. They used three criteria to choose the finalists: accuracy of the information, alignment with the contest theme, and overall creativity in conveying the message.
“Our judges really enjoyed their role, but confided they had a tough time narrowing it down – there were so many terrific entries,” noted Township Committeeman Brian Cahill, who along with Committeeman Thomas “Ace” Gallagher, serves as liaison to the local and regional boards of education. Committeeman Gallagher added, “I don’t envy the judges – it had to be difficult. Our schools do an amazing job with encouraging our kids to be creative and take advantage of ways to apply what they’ve learned. This collaboration with Memorial Junior School was no exception.”
The contest was made possible through grant funding provided by the New Jersey Clean Communities Council. In addition to giving Memorial Junior School students an engaging opportunity to make a statement about one of the ways the public can help keep water clean, it also provided the Township with needed points toward the municipality’s NJDEP storm water public education requirements. Members of the public are cordially invited to stop by Town Hall during its hours of operation to see the winning posters, which will be showcased starting May 13 in the “Storm Water Education Display Case” purchased a few years ago by the Hanover Township Green Team and currently located across from the Public Meeting Room.

Due to the industry’s support of the luncheon, including Gold sponsors JLL, Mack-Cali Realty Corporation, Normandy Real Estate Partners, Turner Construction Company and WB Wood, United Way raised an estimated $290,000 for its work to improve life for ALICE (Asset Limited, Income Constrained, Employed) individuals and families who are working but struggling to afford the basics. Since 2000, the commercial real estate industry has helped to raise more than $2.9 million for United Way.
“We appreciate the longstanding support and generosity of this industry, which has helped put ALICE individuals and families on a path to financial stability,” said United Way Senior Vice President for Resource Development Theresa Leamy. “United Way also congratulates the Teva team for its commitment to retaining and creating jobs, providing a competitive workplace and having a positive impact on the local economy.”

Following upgrades to its Parsippany campus, Teva chose to stay in New Jersey and expand its operations by signing a long-term, 345,000-square-foot lease—the state’s largest in 2018. The lease will see the global generic drug maker move its U.S. headquarters from Pennsylvania to 400 Interpace Parkway, Parsippany, as it consolidates its operations into a more centralized location. The move is expected to bring more than 840 jobs to New Jersey while retaining some 230 existing positions. Sustainable features such as electric vehicle charging stations, white reflective roofs, HVAC upgrades and a main atrium with energy-efficient LED lighting were key to securing Teva’s re-commitment and expansion.
The winning team includes the landlord P3 Properties; tenant Teva Pharmaceuticals USA; brokers Cushman & Wakefield and JLL; architect and contractor Unispace; landlord law firm Drinker Biddle & Reath LLP; and engineer AMA Consulting Engineers, P.C.
The four other finalists for the award were Kindred/Atlantic Health System Rehabilitation Institute; Mack-Cali Realty Corporation’s Suburban Portfolio Transformation; Ralph Lauren Nutley Campus; and Verizon Global Headquarters Campus.

MORRIS COUNTY — The Seeing Eye staff takes great pride in providing a home-cooked meal for the students who travel to the Morristown campus to live and train with their new Seeing Eye dogs each month. In fact, the dining experience is an important aspect of our training program as staff are invited to be seated each day at lunch, in advance of the students, who then gain experience navigating through a bustling dining room with their new dog.
For years, staff, students and visitors have remarked at the quality of the meals and suggested that a Seeing Eye cookbook would be a valuable addition to their kitchen. Finally, in 2014, a group of Seeing Eye graduates organized a committee to make this cookbook a reality.
Pawsitively Delicious Recipes from The Seeing Eye contains over 100 recipes, most from our kitchen and several “tried and true” favorites from staff members. The recipes were then tested by 27 volunteers across the country. All of the proceeds from the sale of the cookbook will directly benefit The Seeing Eye mission.
