BOONTON — Widener University conferred degrees to more than 1,100 graduates in a ceremony Friday, May 17. Commencement was held at The Mann Center for the Performing Arts in Philadelphia.

The commencement speaker was former U.S. Congressman and past Under Secretary of the U.S. Army Patrick Murphy, a veteran, Widener alumnus and member of the Widener University Board of Trustees.

In his speech, Murphy focused on three principles: find a purpose, trust the process, and give back.

“When you live a purpose-driven life, when you trust the process, when you show up and give back, even in the face of intense challenges, you too can make a difference in this world,” he said.

The graduates also heard from Iman Elkhashab who was selected as the President’s Award recipient and served as the student speaker.

In her speech, Elkhashab shared her personal story of struggle and perseverance that she experienced growing up in Egypt during the time of the revolution. The tumultuous environment taught Elkhashab, now of Broomall, Pennsylvania, that each individual has the capacity to conquer and grow from challenges encountered.

The graduates hailed from 36 states and 11 other countries, including China, Netherlands, Qatar and Saudi Arabia. The youngest graduate was 20 years old, while the oldest was 67. They included Boonton resident Ian Nordfors. Nordfors graduated with a Master of Science in Civil Engineering from Widener’s School of Engineering. He is also a 2014 Graduate of Mountain Lakes High School.

Widener University is a private, metropolitan university that connects curricula to social issues through civic engagement. Dynamic teaching, active scholarship, personal attention, leadership development and experiential learning are key components of the Widener experience. A comprehensive doctorate-granting university, Widener comprises seven schools and colleges that offer liberal arts and sciences, professional and pre-professional curricula leading to associate, baccalaureate, master’s and doctoral degrees.

Repair of Crane Road Bridge Planned in Mountain Lakes

Side view of Crane Road bridge

Repair work on a small county bridge on Crane Road in Mountain Lakes is scheduled to start later this month, with detours set up to divert traffic over the next several months.

County Bridge No. 1400-166, which spans a tributary of Troy Brook, will close for three to four months while the contractor makes repairs. Crane Road will be closed to vehicular and pedestrian traffic during construction. The bridge is located on Crane Road between Boulevard and Morris Avenue, near Cove Place.

The existing bridge is a single-span stone masonry arch structure with an asphalt pavement, measuring just 8-feet-long by 35-feet wide, so small that some motorists might not realize they are going over a tiny bridge. It carries about 100 vehicles daily. It was constructed in 1890.

The structure is in need of repair due to deterioration from water seepage as seen by the wide cracks in the underside of the arch. The work consists of repairs to the stone masonry spandrel arch headwalls, repairs to the arch intrados and extrados, repointing of the stone masonry throughout the structure as well as milling and paving.

Colonnelli Bros., Inc., is doing the county-financed work at a bid price of $268,290

Look at that sad face, waiting for you to take him home

PARSIPPANY — Meet Ghost, a two-year-old Husky! Ghost was left with a dog sitter and his owners never returned for him. Now, Ghost has a chance to find a family who will love him forever!

Ghost is an active, very intelligent dog who loves to go for long walks, running in the yard, and doing a little inside parkour on the couch. He is very friendly, loves to get pets from his foster dad, and enjoys playing with his toys. Ghost knows his basic commands and is working hard to become the perfect pup on leash.

Due to Ghost’s tendency to jump and activity level, he’d do best in a home with children 13+. He enjoys the company of other medium-large dogs but cannot live with cats. Ghost is potty-trained and really likes when his foster dad brushes him. He’s gotta look good to feel good!

If you’re looking for a new adventure buddy, apply to adopt Ghost today!
