MORRISTOWN Step by step, a Kansas mom and a college student from Oregon are forging precious bonds with uncommon dogs born, bred and expertly trained to guide them to freedom.
For Ethan Liu, 21, his introduction last week to the Morristown-based Seeing Eye and his new guide dog, Tucker, felt like throwing off a straight jacket and flying free. It feels fantastic. Like I m walking on air, he said after a training walk through the center of town.
A suicide attempt left Liu blind at age 17. Support from family and friends, he said, has helped him heal and rebuild his life as an Oregon State University psychology student.

Morris County Commissioners issued a rare public rebuke of a municipality Thursday when they accused Morris Township leaders of quashing a bid for federal funds to advance a long-planned realignment of the Route 24-Columbia Turnpike interchange. It is with significant disappointment that we must announce an indefinite delay in moving forward because the unique opportunity to secure that federal aid, specifically for preliminary engineering, design and right of way acquisition phases, was lost last week, the commissioners statement read.
Studies to remedy the dangers of the heavily trafficked interchange have been in the works for about a decade. Located on the borders of Hanover, Florham Park and Morris Township, the Route 24 exit to Columbia Turnpike south creates a hazard as it feeds directly into the multi-lane intersection of Columbia Turnpike and Park Avenue.

th film from Wiseman, “City Hall” immerses audiences in the municipality of his hometown of Boston to illustrate a government taking care of its diverse citizens. Through his filmmaking, audiences come to realize how city government touches upon almost every aspect of their lives, acknowledging how necessary services like sanitation, veterans affairs, elder support, parks, licensing bureaus, record keeping, as well as a myriad of other activities that support the citizenry, are often taken for granted.
