The birth of a baby is a beautiful thing, but for up to

300,000 women a year in the U.S, pregnancy can be

a potentially deadly event due to preeclampsia, which

threatens the life of both mother and child. Due to the grav-

ity of this disorder, Morristown Mayor Timothy Doughertyhas issued a proclamation declaring May 2015 to be

Preeclampsia Awareness Month.The only known solution for preeclampsia, characterized

by elevated blood pressure and protein in the urine, is deliv-

ery of the baby. Organized by Stephanie Steiner and herdaughter Marissa of Springfield, both survivors of the dis-

ease, the Cranford Area Promise Walk for Preeclampsia

helps to raise funds in order to try to find a cause and cure.

This year's event will be held on May 17, and is expected to

draw in more participants and donations than ever before.Junior coordinator Marissa is also a member of Precisely

Right Synchronized Skating Team based at Mennen Sports

Arena, which is one of the major supporters of the walk. Its

members over the past few years have gathered donationsand volunteered their time to support this cause.

The Walk was scheduled for May 17 but donations are

being accepted through July. To donate visit http://promise-

walk.org/Cranford. To learn more about preeclampsia and

Knowledgable. Hard working. Honest.

My only purpose is to deliver successful results.

By Anastasia Marchese

Last month the non-profit organization,NJ Heroes, announced their grantrecipients for 2015. This organization

was founded by First Lady Mary PatChristie, to recognize "Everyday PeopleChanging New Jersey." This year theyawarded $120,000 to NJ non-profits; $7,500of this year’s monies will go to theCommunity Soup Kitchen & OutreachCenter in Morristown. According to CaseyMahoney, the Executive Director of NJHeroes, only former NJ Heroes can applyfor the grants.

In Dec. of 2013, Alan Weinstein was rec-ognized as a NJ Hero for his role in imple-menting the Kitchen to Kitchen program.

Weinstein had been the owner of The ParkSavoy and wanted to do something to helpthe Community Soup Kitchen. The SoupKitchen was no longer able to serve mealsthat had been prepared in private homes andthen donated. The Soup Kitchen would nowonly be able to serve food which had beenprepared in a commercial kitchen. Thismeant that they had to renovate their facili-ty's kitchen and would also need to purchasea lot more of the food they would be serving.

Weinstein came up with the idea to rallythe restaurants in the area to prepare foodwhich they could then donate to theCommunity Soup Kitchen. His connectionsin the restaurant industry made him unique-ly situated to implement this plan and due tohis passion and innovation the Soup Kitchenwas able to continue serving donated food,which greatly helps them provide for thecommunity.

For this dedication he was awarded theNJ Hero title.

Now the Community Soup Kitchen hasonce again benefited because of Weinstein'sdedication. They were awarded this $7,500which will go far in helping the SoupKitchen to provide healthy food to low

income families in Morris County throughtheir Free Farmers Market program.

Prior to receiving the grant, the SoupKitchen had three weekly Free FarmersMarkets, in which low income familiescould come and pick up fresh fruits and veg-etables as well as meat.

The foods are donated by local grocerystores that remove the foods prior to expira-tion, while the food is still perfectly saleable.A lot of low income families don't have

Morristown Soup Kitchen Receives NJ Heroes Grantmoney in their food budgets for perishablefood items, and their health can sufferbecause of it.

The Community Soup Kitchen has nurs-es from the hospital who come and offer free

health screenings. At one point, the nursesmade the Soup Kitchen aware that about 80percent of their clients had hypertensionand/or diabetes. Filling their stomach wasn't

enough and the Soup Kitchen wanted to givethese families access to healthy food thatwould lower their risks of hypertension anddiabetes.

The Soup Kitchen now offers Nutrition

Education and helps their clients to learnabout new kinds of fruits and veggies thatthey might not have considered.

Distinguished Psychiatrist To Speak At Local Alliance

Due to the grant funds, The CommunitySoup Kitchen was able to open up a fourthweekly Free Farmers Market at a nearby lowincome day care center. These working par-

ents can now pick up healthy food for theirfamilies after work. According to MarlaDrury, the Soup Kitchen's Director of Development, many working parents cannot

go to food distributions during the day,so having these Free Farmers Markets

available at places that work for them, bene-fits the whole family.

Thanks to NJ Heroes many more peoplein Morris County now have weekly accessto healthy foods that they can then prepare intheir own homes for their own families.

W

hat happens when a state allows

adopted citizens to have theiroriginal birth certificates? In

2011, Illinois became the largest state in

the Union to reverse sealed records laws,

restoring adult adoptees access to the doc-

ument recording their birth. The docu-

mentary, “A Simple Piece of Paper,” tellsthe story of more than a dozen adoptees, as

they open their records. Their collective

experiences provoke a new question: what

would have happened if the records had

been opened sooner? Most adoptees inAmerica are never allowed to have the

record of their own birth. But in the lastfifteen years, a number of states have

reversed sealed records laws. From

Oregon to Maine, thousands of adopteeshave now received their records, and this

film centers on the experiences of those

adoptees. The film will be screened on

Thurs., May 21 at 7 p.m. at the Morristown

& Morris Township Library.

New Jersey is one of the states involved

in this issue. In 1938, the State of NJ

began sealing birth certificates of adopted

children against public access and in 1940

prohibited access even to the parties

involved. Efforts were made by advocacy

groups in 1980 to overturn the law andprovide adopted adults a right to their own

personal history but that journey has now

taken more than 30 years. Legislation

passed by both the state senate and assem-

bly in February of 2014 restored no-strings-attached access to original birth

certificates by adopted individuals and

Governor Chris Christie signed a negotiat-

ed compromise into law on May 27. For

more information on this law, see:http://www.njleg.state.nj.us/2014/Bills/PL

14/9_.PDF]. The law opening up these

records to adoptees will take effect on Jan.

1, 2017.

Light refreshments will be served.

This program was made possible thanksto funding from the Friends of the

Library.

If you or your children have under-

gone a “vision screening” at school, in

a mobile unit, or at a department of

motor vehicles, you should know that

this general eye test is no substitute for

a “comprehensive eye examination.”

Screenings are general eye tests that

are conducted to identify people at risk

for certain eye conditions and can indi-

cate the need for a comprehensive eye

exam. Only eye doctors can perform acomplete eye exam, which involves

careful testing of all aspects of a per-

son’s vision. The results of which can

lead to a recommended course of ac-

tion, including eyeglasses, contact

lenses, medical treatment, or simply a

follow-up appointment if necessary. A

complete eye exam can even result in

the detection of a systemic condition

(hypertension, high cholesterol, dia-

betes, etc.), simply by looking at vari-

ous structures such as blood vessels

within the eye. Because of this, adults

and children should have a complete

eye exam with an eye care profes-

sional, not just a screening, to make

sure nothing is overlooked.

Eye exams are an important part of

health maintenance for everyone. Chil-

dren and adults should have their eyestested annually to keep their prescrip-

tions current and to check for signs of

eye disease. To schedule an appoint-

ment for an eye exam, please call 973-

538-5287. Located at 25 South Street

in downtown Morristown, we are avail-

able weekdays 10 to 6, Thursdays, 10

to 7, and Saturdays, 10 to 4.

Last month at the Metropolitan

campus of Fairleigh Dickinson

University, local high school stu-

dents got a taste of some real world high

tech decision making. The 50 freshmenstudents of the STEM Academy at

Morristown High School attended a con-

ference, along with students from Barack

Obama Charter School and the Rahway

and Bergen Academies, to learn more

about the impact of school solar pro-

grams.

Jack Leffler, STEM supervisor from

Randolph High School presented the

plans for the solar panel array at his

school, and then discussed with the stu-

dents the "real-work outcomes" that have

come about as a result of implementing

the solar program.

"It allowed the students to still be cre-

ative and enthusiastic but have a lens

from a real world perspective,” says

Michele Joseph of the Student Global

Ambassador Project (SGAP) who had

organized the event. “We don't want to

extinguish their excitement but ignite it."

Joseph founded SGAP in 2009. It all

started when she took her then 11 year-

old son and some of his friends to the

United Nations in New York City. The

kids got really excited about what they

learned there and soon the question cameup, "So, where are we going next?" This

got Joseph thinking and what started out

as an extracurricular field trip has turned

into an organization that has already

involved around 740 kids in 47 different

schools in NJ, Virginia and Washington

D.C.

The goals of SGAP align with the

United Nations' eight Millenium

Development Goals: Eradicate extreme

poverty and hunger; achieve universal

primary education; promote genderequality and empower women; reduce

child mortality; improve maternal health;

combat HIV/AIDs, malaria and other dis-

eases; ensure environmental stability;

and global partnership for development.

SGAP uses these goals to help stu-

dents understand the role of the UN and

how the students can be part of imple-

menting these goals.

Solar Forum Excites Local StudentsThe solar forum illustrated for the stu-

dents how seeking environmental stabili-

ty through solar energy can be affected

by economics, efficiency of the technolo-

gy, and community impact. Leffler went

through with the students what actuallyhappened, how the community respond-

ed, and how efficient the solar program at

Randolph High School is.

Then to work out some of what they

had learned, the students used

Helioscope, a software program that let

them design a solar PV system for their

own schools. They needed to consider

"Where should we install them to best

reduce our carbon footprint, increaseefficiency and still be cost effective?"

Joseph says, "There was a real Ah-Ha

factor for the students," commenting on

the events of the day. "When you are

making a decision it has to be considered

in the context of the community.

You have to consider, do people want

to see solar panels here?"

When asked about the future of SGAP,

Joseph says she is excited about the

upcoming events but reflects,"The most

rewarding thing is just the kids." Seeing

their excitement and energy being

focused on solving global issues is very

rewarding and inspiring indeed.

Park in 2014 spent $14.8 million in com-

munities near the park. That spending sup-

ported 197 jobs in the local area and had acumulative benefit to the local economy of

$20.6 million.

"The staff and volunteers at Morristown

National Historical Park welcome our

neighbors, folks from the entire State of New Jersey and nearby New York and

Pennsylvania, and visitors from across the

country and around the world," saidSuperintendent Thomas E. Ross. "We are

delighted to share Morristown National

Historical Park’s story and the experiencesit provides. We think of the park as a way

to introduce our visitors to this part of the

country and all that it offers. National park

tourism is a significant driver in the nation-

al economy, returning $10 for every $1invested in the National Park Service, and

it’s a positive factor in the Morristown,

Morris County and New Jersey economies

as well. We appreciate the partnership andsupport of our neighbors and are glad to be

able to give back by helping to sustainlocal communities."

Leslie Bensley, executive director of

the Morris County Tourism Bureau, said,

"The importance of Morristown National

Historical Park cannot be overstated as to

the economic health and cultural well-being of the Morristown area. Our partner-

ship with Morristown National HistoricalPark continues to strengthen as we forge

ahead with heritage tourism initiatives that

will drive more visitors to our area who

seek an authentic experience."

The peer-reviewed visitor spendinganalysis was conducted by U.S.

Geological Survey economists Catherine

Cullinane Thomas and Christopher Huber

and National Park Service economist

Lynne Koontz. The report shows $15.7billion of direct spending by 292.8 millionpark visitors in communities within 60

miles of a national park. This spending

supported 277,000 jobs nationally;

235,600 of those jobs are found in these

gateway communities. The cumulativebenefit to the U.S. economy was $29.7 bil-

lion.

According to the 2014 report, most park

visitor spending was for lodging (30.6 per-

cent) followed by food and beverages

(20.3 percent), gas and oil (11.9 percent),admissions and fees (10.2 percent) and

Just like your home requires sea-

sonal maintenance, so do your

teeth, and Spring is the perfect

time to schedule your dental hygiene

appointment," says Dr. Victor Gittlemanof Morristown Cosmetic Dentistry. The

arrival of the nice weather and upcoming

events such as weddings, graduations,

and summer vacations make Spring anideal time to take care of all of your fam-

ily's dental needs that may have been put

off during the cold winter months.

College students returning from

school should make sure to fit in their

dental hygiene before going off to jobinterviews and summer employment to

ensure that their smile makes a brightimpression in the workplace and that any

needed dental work is completed before

starting a new job. Likewise, school agechildren participating in summer camps,

sports, and programs should be seen for a

cleaning and exam to make sure that all is

well and that they are not sidelined from

any activities with dental issues.

Spring is also an ideal time for adults

to come in for their cleaning as calenders

fill with special events such as weddingsand graduations. "There is nothing like a

clean white smile to make you look your

best for any occasion, says Dr. Gittleman,and my staff and I look forward to giving

our patients a picture perfect smile fortheir special events."

Finally, for those of you making sum-

mer travel plans, Dr. Gittleman highly

recommends that you plan to visit your

dentist first for a routine cleaning and

exam. Ideally, patients should scheduletheir hygiene at least one month before

traveling to make sure that any needed

dental work is taken care of in advance of

any trips, especially if traveling outsideof the country. "The best way to ensurethat your long awaited vacation is not

marred by a dental emergency, says Dr.

Gittleman, is to make sure that you are up

to date with your cleaning and exam

before embarking on your adventure."Dr. Gittleman and the staff of

Morristown Cosmetic Dentistry encour-

age you to put your dental care at the top

By Ejvind Boccolini

The Morris County Sheriff's Office held a substance

abuse prevention symposium on April 30 attended

by former Governor Jim McGreevey and other sig-

nificant officials to raise awareness on how to combat this

destructive force.The "Do No Harm" event was held at the Morris

County Correctional Facility in Morristown, and it includ-

ed officials from the fields of law enforcement, govern-

ment, education, and medicine. More specifically, it

assimilates the work of the medical community within the

correctional facilities in New Jersey.A press release from the Morris County Sheriff's Office

noted that the symposium addresses the "use, abuse, and

fatalities from the use of illegal and prescription drugs," as

it is "rising at alarming rates." Morris County Sheriff

Edward Rochford joined McGreevey as one of the speak-

ers at the event, as advocates for drug abuse preventionand passionate about combating the problem.

As Rochford welcomed everyone to the event, he

thanked his staff, noting that "I have never worked with

such a dedicated group of people in my life." In a press

release for the event, Undersheriff Susan Hunter notedthat "our correctional facility as it is hailed as one of the

best in the country."

"Prevention is Key" of Morris County also had repre-

sentatives on hand as part of the symposium. "Prevention

is Key" works to reduce and prevent all substance abuse

throughout the lifetime of individuals in our communities.

They dedicate a lot of energy to the 18-25 age group as

well, because they are seriously at risk for the devastating

effects of substance abuse, though individuals that are

both younger or older than this group are at risk of coursetoo.

Substance abuse is, of course, a factor in correctional

facilities, in the sense that officials reported that one-third

of the inmates committed their offense while under theinfluence of drugs, and 17 percent said they committed

their offense to obtain money for drugs. And, of course,

prescription drugs are being stolen (or obtained in many

ways) by individuals who then sell them illegally on the

street.

There unfortunately is a demand, and individuals oftenmake a great deal of money from this. This destructive

cycle happens in urban areas, and in quiet suburbs as well.At the symposium, experts spoke also about the proper

ways to treat, evaluate, and dispense prescriptions to

incarcerated individuals who could be interested - anddeceitful - in abusing their medications.

Also, though most doctors are working to have integri-

ty and ethics every step of the way in prescribing drugs,

there are a small portion who are "dirty" doctors who have

been caught in the act of writing unnecessary prescrip-tions. Some are perhaps only naive, or can be easily fooled

Drug Abuse Prevention Event Raises Awareness

by their patients who claim they need certain prescriptions- but other doctors either do not document their reasons

for prescribing drugs, or shockingly, even involve them-

selves in deceitful and illegal acts that contribute to sub-

stance abuse, and make drugs easily available.

Of course, money is the motive for them, and though

"dirty doctors" are not the norm, there have been somebusted for their incredible schemes.

What is also unfortunate is that "incar-

ceration does not decrease substance

abuse," as officials noted at the sympo-sium. As an example, nearly 75 percent of

individuals released from prison return toheroin within three months of release.

Also, more than 100 people die from

drug overdoses each day in the U. S.McGreevey said he thanks law enforce-

ment for their work in combating sub-

stance abuse. "We're in the midst of a cri-

sis," he said. “We have to understand the

scope of the problem," adding that drug

overdoses are the killer in our communi-ties, whereas traffic accidents were more

so the main problems in the past.

Prevention is Key is continuing to workon the problem of substance abuse in our

communities, as are all officials in lawenforcement, the medical community, and

beyond.

Prevention is Key also wants to get the

word out about the Recovery Coach

For over twenty years, implant dentistry has been a reliable option for patients

with missing teeth. With the ability to support a crown, an implant procedurehas the capacity to bypass drilling the adjacent teeth. Additionally, with the

recent availability of mini implants, implant dentistry has expanded its utiliza-

tion to anchoring both full and partial dentures for a more secure f it. As they

provide an economic alternative, patients have been very receptive of mini

implants, as they make eating and speaking with dentures much easier.

Dr. Helen Chiu has always been involved in implant dentistry, making it an

integrated part of her everyday practice. From replacing a single tooth, insert-

ing crowns or bridges, securing dentures, to creating multiple, full-arch recon-

structions, she performs every step of each process, surgical and restorative.

Some images are

iconic and when one

looks at them they

instantly speak from the

past with the power thatcomes from having beenthere. They capture the

moment in a still frame, an

impression, a message

about what it was like to

be present at that moment.Jim DelGiudice, a pho-

tojournalist and adjunct

assistant professor at the

County College of Morris

in Randolph, presented a

talk entitled "Gotcha!:Snapshots that Changed

History," on April 30 at

the Morristown & Morris

Township Library.

DelGiudice is also a fre-quent lecturer at Drew and

Columbia Universities.

For his architectural pho-

tography books published

by Rutgers University

Press he twice won the

state’s Historic

Preservation Award.

Looking at photogra-phy through the lens of its

historical context is not

new, but considering how

the picture itself effectedhistory is not as common.

People often look at pho-

tographs as recording

moments in history, but

photography does more, itinforms them of events by

bringing them into that

moment.A lot of photographs

that have impacted history

have been published innewspapers and maga-

zines. The quick turnover

of processing time, even

for film photography,

makes it ideal for report-

ing on current events. The

power of a still image is

the power of being there,

"You were there; you can-

not deny it," said

DelGiudice. That appliesto both the photographer

and the subject. For some

the power of being there

has been positive for theircareers and political

future, for others it has

been a death knell.

DelGiudice started

with the origins of photog-raphy and progressed into

the modern digital age. He

examined some of themost famous and influen-

tial photographs,

explained how the photo-graphs happened to be

taken and by whom, and

where the photograph

went from there.

One of the questions he

posed is "Who has control

of the photograph, the

photographer or the sit-

ter?" Also, he considered

the truthfulness of the

medium. Lovers of filmphotography often

bemoan the digital age and

the power of computers to

alter images. The abilityof the photographer to

alter an image can some-

times be untruthful. This

is not entirely new howev-

er.DelGiudice went

through some film images

from history that had beenaltered to hide the truth.

Photojournalists take oth-

ers to places and showthem events they cannot

get to themselves, and

they want to trust them.

Throughout recent history,

however, photographs

have been used as propa-

ganda and have been

staged or changed in ways

that are not truthful.

One of the most enjoy-

able parts of the eveningwas having some of these

iconic images explained.

Most of these images are

immediately recognizable,but their context is not.

The print may have been

seen a hundred times, but

never understood. It was

very powerful to knowwho took the picture and

to hear what happened to

the people in the photo-graph.

Photographs of war are

especially powerful asthey show people engaged

in the raw struggle for sur-

vival. By nature war pho-

tography is snapshots. The

photographer cannot pose

the subjects or manipulate

the lighting. It is at it's

best simply the capturing

of the moment. Some warcorrespondents have taken

photographs that have

changed the lives of those

photographed. The pho-

tographer snapped the pic-ture and then intervened in

history themselves, some-

times by taking the person they just pho-

tographed to the hospital thereby saving

that person's life, and changing their own

lives in the process. To hear these stories

was inspiring as well as heart wrenching.Scandal also often follows snapshots

and the power of the paparazzi is not to

be underestimated. To see a truly candid

photograph can change the way a person

is viewed forever.Two young ladies in attendance, ages

11 and nine. When asked which of the

photographs left a lasting impression on

their minds, both recalled an image taken

by Nick Ut of "The Terror of War." The

main subject of the photo is Kim Phuc, athen nine-year-old girl who had been

badly burned by napalm in a 1973 bomb-

ing by the South Vietnamese. She sur-

vived only by ripping off her clothes and

is seen running naked toward the photog-rapher, Nick Ut. After he snapped the

picture, Nick took Kim to the hospital.

After being hospitalized for 14 months

and undergoing 17 surgical procedures

she eventually returned home.

DelGiudice showed a picture of Kim

taken after she was released from the

hospital, sitting at a table and writing.This photograph was such a contrast to

the one taken by Ut, such a spark of hope

that both girls in the audience remem-

bered it well. As an adult, Kim eventual-

ly found political asylum in Canada. Thestory of her survival and the testimony of

her forgiveness and success in life fol-

lowing that horrific day, left an indelible

impression.

A great photograph continues to

change history even generations after itwas taken, changing hearts and challeng-

ing ideas about the world and the way

one views themself.

"A real photograph, it tells a story, yet

its beautiful." said DelGiudice. If "beau-ty is truth, truth is beauty," as John Keats

wrote, then these photographs are beauti-

ful indeed.

Azero tax increase, reducing debt

and maintaining roadways are high

on the list for David Scapicchio’scampaign as Morris County Freeholder.

Running in the Republican 2015 June 2

Primary for his second three- year term asfreeholder, Scapicchio of Flanders and

Morris County resident for more than 36

years, was sworn in to his first three-year

term on the freeholder board on Jan. 4,

2013, serving as the board’s deputy director

in 2013 and 2014.Competing in an all-Republican

Primary, Scapicchio joins running mates

Freeholder John Krikus of Washington

Twp., and Deborah Smith, a Denville coun-

cilwoman. The three are competing againstincumbent John Cesaro of Parsippany,

Christine Meyers of Mendham, Angelo

Tedesco of East Hanover, and Thomas

Mulligan of Rockaway.

With success in keeping all promisesduring his first term, Scapicchio plans to

continue the same course.

“When we ran in 2012, we made some

promises,” says Scapicchio during a tele-

phone interview with New View Media.

“We did not raise taxes for three years in arow. We said we’d reduce debt; we reduced

debt by $300 million. We said we’d pave

roads. We’ve been able to do that without

raising taxes. The plan is the same.”Scapicchio says “I made promises in

2012 when I first ran; I fulfilled those

promises. As candidates for political office

we set goals, we promise to make changes,

and to do things differently. More often

than not, even with the best of intensionsthose promises are hard to keep. During the

2012 campaign we made some promises,

and we have succeeded in fulfilling many

of them. Promises made-promises keep.”

No stranger to public service,Scapicchio served as Mt. Olive mayor from

2006-2011; Mt. Olive Twp. councilman for

two consecutive terms (1996-2004) in

which he spent two years as council presi-

dent; Mt. Olive Zoning Board of Adjustment; and is a former chair of the

Mt. Olive Republican Committee.

At the county level, Scapicchio served

on the Morris County Municipal Utilities

Authority.

He currently chairs the Capital BudgetReview and Facilities Committee, which is

in charge of capital programs. In that

capacity, he is involved in a six year pro-

gram, 2015-2021, to enhance the road sur-facing program. The road surfacing pro-

gram has grown from 17 miles of road

resurfacing a year, prior to 2013, to 34

miles of roadway each year, a much need-

ed service based on “severe winters” and

roadway conditions, he says.“We want to continue that program,”

says Scapicchio, adding that there are 284

miles of roadway in Morris County that

need to be maintained.

“We have prioritized infrastructureimprovements, an area most governments

have failed to address,” he says. This year

we’ve invested $16 million on the county’s

infrastructure.”

Scapicchio mentions a continued courseregarding health insurance, debt and taxes.

Health Insurance cost the county $47

million a year, he says, so the freeholder

board eliminated the policy that enabled

freeholders to receive health insurance paid

for by the county tax payers, and alsochanged the policy that provided employ-

ees lifetime health insurance after 15 years

of employment.

“The county no longer provides new

employees with lifetime benefits, and all

employees now contribute towards their

health insurance,” he says.The board is also considering a self-

insurance program “which may have the

potential to save the county hundreds of

thousands of dollars,” he adds.

Regarding debt, Morris County debt is

at $229 million, down from $259 millionwhen he came into office.

“By keeping capital spending under

control we have been able to reduce debt by

$10 million a year,” says Scapicchio.

Regarding taxes, he says “We said we

would not raise property taxes- we havedelivered three budgets with no tax

increase and we are working hard to deliv-

er a 2016 budget with no tax increase as

well. Our goal is to make county govern-

ment smarter, smaller and more responsive.“We are reforming health care, paying

down debt, controlling taxes, investing in

roads and bridges and maintaining the

county’s AAA bond rating,” says

Scapicchio. “That’s good Republican lead-

ership!”

Scapicchio studied at DeVry Institute of Technology and eventually became a part-

ner in Scapicchio & Sons, a family-owned,high-quality, professional residential con-

struction company in Whippany.

Originally from Livingston, he and hiswife Betsy, married in 1977 and have four

grown daughters.

Scapicchio says he is re-running for

freeholder because “I enjoy public works,

working with others how we can provide

service in the county and doing it withoutraising taxes. I enjoy working towards that

goal.”

The freeholder board is an electedadministrative body that sets policies for

the operation of all county services. Thatincludes six county government depart-

ments and their divisions, plus authorities,

commissions, boards and study commit-

tees.

Each of the seven freeholders serves as

a liaison to one of those departments and toother areas of county government.
