After Long Battle, Lyon Is Freeholder
Montville political newcomer is sworn in Saturday after winning the party convention's support.
Political newcomer William “Hank” Lyon was sworn in as a Republican Morris County freeholder Saturday after winning a court-ordered special convention. Lyon will serve in this seat until the end of the year. An election will be held in November to fill remainder of the 3-year term. Also up for grabs in that general election ballot are three freeholder seats now held by incumbents Gene Feyl, Bill Chegwidden and John Murphy. Former freeholder Jack Schrier welcomed Lyon. "We wish him the very best, especially as the Freeholder Board is now in a state of major reorganization, with even more to come in June," Schrier said. Saturday’s convention was ordered by a state appeals court in February when it removed incumbent Margaret Nordstrom from …

Whitney Houston Laid to Rest in Westfield
Procession arrived at noon Sunday for burial ceremony at Fairview Cemetery. Nearly 100 fans shouted 'We love you, Whitney' as hearse turned into the cemetery.
The vigil at Fairview Cemetery began at first light Sunday morning. There were no mourners, just reporters and photographers mingling congenially as they staked out a good spot for their reports back to the network morning shows or a position for the perfect photo of the funeral procession bringing Whitney Houston to the cemetery for her burial. Police officers arrived before daylight, at 6 a.m., to secure every possible corner of the Fairview property, from the Cranford border along Union County College to the south and E. Broad Street to the north. At the western end of the cemetery, Gallows Hill Road was closed to prevent any neighborhood street from messing up any potential route in which the procession of hearses and limos that would …

Officials recall Legislator who acted as model and teacher

Alex was the most powerful Republican in NJ. Through joint efforts a second lane fom route 287 south to route 24 east opened below cost and ahead of schedule. As of today I'm pursuing passage of A-4287, and I'll be fighting for other progressive legislation. Alex made compromise a reality, we"ll all miss him. more ›

Friends, Classmates Remember TJ Sefcik
One Montville student: 'There are no words to explain what kind of person TJ was.'
A purple cross, surrounded by flowers, mementos, personal letters and pictures, rests next to the 47.4 mile marker on Interstate 287 northbound, just past the railroad overpass, not far from the Montville entrance ramp to the highway. It's a simple memorial, and only one of many commemorations, dedicated to the memory of recently deceased Montville teen Taylor Jay Sefcik. Sefcik, a 16-year-old sophomore at Montville Township High School, was struck and killed by a tractor-trailer on I-287 on Dec. 1. The incident, according to State Police, occurred around 7 p.m. Within a few hours, friends of Sefcik were already planning on Facebook their first memorial for him. Students wore black to school on Dec. 2 to remember their classmate, then …

What was foolish was not placing Lyon on the ballot after the first Judge ruled the primary invalid. He never prohibited the County Committee from naming Lyon to the Ballot and there would have been no issue. That was a judgement call and a bad one by the Republican County Committee. The fact that Truscha can't get support from the State Democratic Party or the Morris County Democratic Party has … more ›
