Do you love horror movies and helping to support your community? Join us for a fun and scary time and help us raise funds for our unhoused friends and neighbors to stay safe and warm this winter.Everyone needs and deserves a home, and the exclusion of some of our neighbors from housing is the biggest horror of our communities, a malignancy that targets a few but spreads its tendrils throughout our neighborhoods and society. It's an ongoing nightmare that many people will walk right by, intentionally keeping their gaze averted so they can try to feel safe from it. But the horror could turn its own gaze to you anyway. It could reach any of us.

If that's not scary enough for you, or if it's too scary for you, then come to our Halloween horror film screening for more scares and to raise funds to help keep some of our unhoused friends safe and warm with hotel stays through the upcoming cold months. It is not a solution, but it will help more people survive another year while we work to figure out long-term housing systems. The evil grows every year. But together, we can make real change.

Watch six films (not for children!) directed by local award-winning indie filmmaker Christine Jansen, followed by a Q&amp;A. There will be food and drinks available by donation, and you can get your ticket with a minimum $20 gift ($30 for VIP) per ticket.<ul><li>Venmo @ renee-shalhoub or send your gift by:</li><li>Zelle to info@mutualmorris.com or</li><li>Paypal at <a href="https://www.paypal.com/donate/?hosted_button_id=PSDVN48CRQRQL" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">paypal.com/donate/?hosted_button_id=PSDVN48CRQRQL</a></li></ul>
Note "film" in the comments or "sponsor" if you can't come but would like to sponsor a ticket for someone else who can't afford it.
$20 per person, or $30 VIP to get some swag and preferred seating
You can also contribute any time (even monthly as a recurring gift) to our Gofundme at <a href="https://www.gofundme.com/f/help-morris-county-stay-warm-this-winter" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">gofundme.com/f/help-morris-county-stay-warm-this-winter</a>
The more money we can raise, the more nights we can pay for to keep people off the cold and scary streets. Thank you for your support!

MORRISTOWN, N.J. – Pioneer Productions is delighted to announce its upcoming production of Rumors, Neil Simon's celebrated comedy of confusion, deception, and nonstop laughs. Known for its rapid-fire dialogue and relentless comic momentum, Rumors is widely regarded as one of Simon's most ambitious and brilliantly constructed farces.&nbsp; The production will run November 6–15, 2026, at The Stage at Fellowship Hall, located inside the Morristown United Methodist Church at 50 South Park Place in Morristown.
When affluent deputy mayor Charley Brock and his wife Myra host an elegant anniversary celebration, the evening quickly descends into chaos. The first guests to arrive discover a shocking scene: Charley has suffered a gunshot wound to the ear, Myra is nowhere to be found, and the household staff has disappeared. As more guests arrive and rumors begin to spread, a desperate effort to conceal the truth leads to a cascade of outrageous cover-ups and escalating misunderstandings. The result is a fast-paced comedy packed with wit, physical humor, and the signature brilliance that made Neil Simon one of America's most beloved playwrights.<a href="https://www.pioneerproductionscompany.org/seasontickets/rumors" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener"> </a>
The production is directed by Daniel Peter Vissers and co-produced by Shanna Levine-Phelps and Tom Olori.&nbsp; The exceptional cast that brings Simon's escalating mayhem to life features:
<ul><li>Miriam Salerno as Chris Gorman</li><li>Joel Frank as Ken Gorman</li><li>Bill Barry as Lenny Ganz</li><li>Amy Boardman as Claire Ganz</li><li>Stephen Federbusch as Ernie Cusack</li><li>Sue Mandzik Davis as Cookie Cusack</li><li>Jon Beeler as Glenn Cooper</li><li>Christiane Lange as Cassie Cooper</li><li>Bradford Harris Harlan as Officer Welsh</li><li>Speedwell Amaechi as Officer Pudney<a href="https://www.pioneerproductionscompany.org/seasontickets/rumors" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">&nbsp;</a></li></ul>
Dates: November 6, 7, 8, 13, 14, and 15, 2026 Times: Fridays and Saturdays at 7:30 p.m.; Sundays at 3:00 p.m. Venue: The Stage at Fellowship Hall Morristown United Methodist Church 50 South Park Place Morristown, NJ Tickets and Information: <a href="https://www.pioneerproductionscompany.org/seasontickets/rumors" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">https://www.pioneerproductionscompany.org/seasontickets/rumors</a>

An Essex County home inspector has built a free website that lets anyone look up the public records behind a New Jersey property &mdash; building permits, flood zones, fire history, property taxes, and more &mdash; by typing in an address.
The site, <a href="https://oprasearch.app/" rel="noopener nofollow" target="_blank">Permit &amp; Parcel</a>, covers all 564 New Jersey municipalities and brings together records from official sources, including state and county databases, FEMA flood maps, and the towns&rsquo; own municipal codes. No account or email is required, and there&rsquo;s no cost.
&ldquo;I kept watching buyers fall in love with a house before anyone checked the paper trail &mdash; the open permits, the flood zone, what the town actually requires when a home changes hands,&rdquo; said Leo Betancor, a Certified Master Inspector based in Cedar Grove and the founder of the site. &ldquo;All of that is public record. It just wasn&rsquo;t in one place anyone could actually use.&rdquo;
Alongside the main lookup, the site includes free single-purpose tools: a <a href="https://oprasearch.app/tools/lead-safe/" rel="noopener nofollow" target="_blank">lead-safe inspection lookup</a> showing which of the two state-required inspection methods each town uses under New Jersey&rsquo;s lead paint law, a searchable <a href="https://oprasearch.app/lead-contractors/" rel="noopener nofollow" target="_blank">directory of DCA-certified lead evaluation and abatement contractors</a> sorted by distance, a <a href="https://oprasearch.app/tools/fire/" rel="noopener nofollow" target="_blank">fire-incident map</a> built from more than 40 years of state fire records, and a <a href="https://oprasearch.app/tools/radon/" rel="noopener nofollow" target="_blank">radon map</a> covering every municipality.
Homeowners can also <a href="https://oprasearch.app/tools/tax/" rel="noopener nofollow" target="_blank">look up property taxes and assessments</a>, <a href="https://oprasearch.app/tools/hvac-age/" rel="noopener nofollow" target="_blank">check the age of a furnace, air conditioner or water heater</a> using its serial number, and <a href="https://oprasearch.app/tools/co/" rel="noopener nofollow" target="_blank">find their town&rsquo;s certificate-of-occupancy requirements</a> before selling or renting a home.
A companion site, <a href="https://njflood.zone/" rel="noopener nofollow" target="_blank">njflood.zone</a>, gives instant FEMA flood-zone answers for any New Jersey address &mdash; built after the federal government shutdown left FEMA&rsquo;s own map site unreliable &mdash; running on the site&rsquo;s own servers with the complete flood map data for the state loaded locally.
As an added benefit for homebuyers, Permit &amp; Parcel users can receive $100 off a qualifying home inspection with Smart Choice Inspections, Betancor&rsquo;s North Jersey home inspection company.
The project was recently featured in <a href="https://www.tapinto.net/towns/east-hanover-slash-florham-park/columns/at-home-with-holly/articles/deep-dive-conversations-what-the-house-won-t-tell-you" rel="noopener nofollow" target="_blank">TAPinto.</a>&nbsp;Both sites are FREE at <a href="https://oprasearch.app/" rel="noopener nofollow" target="_blank">oprasearch.app</a> and <a href="https://njflood.zone/" rel="noopener nofollow" target="_blank">njflood.zone</a>.
