DENVILLE - No joke here; a pair of identical twin sisters have a lot to be Living in town,

MORRISTOWN - A Superior Court judge will be

asked Friday to decide whether the Morris County
Prosecutors Office is entitled to $172,494, one-third of
the assessed value of a Montville townhouse where a
man admittedly held his girlfriend against her will
and possessed child pornography and crystal methamphetamine.
Judge Robert Brennan is slated to hear arguments
for and against partial forfeiture of the Eugene Drive
townhouse one-third of the $518,000 assessed value
of the property owned by Christopher Conzola. Defense lawyer Anthony Macri is opposing the move by
the Morris County Prosecutors Office, and said in
court papers that the sum sought is a violation of the
excessive fines clause of the U.S. Constitution and the
home itself was irrelevant to Conzolas crimes.
Conzola, now 39, was sentenced in Superior Court,
Morristown, in December to six years in prison on the
guilty pleas he entered in October to criminal restraint, endangering the welfare of a child by possessing child pornography, and possession of methamphetamine. In part, Conzola was accused of twice re-

23 years, and in their Bloomfield Avenue
office for 10, which they chose because
they are both township residents and
wanted to work within a nice downtown.
Living in town, its really rewarding

Each twin has her own separate jobs,
but the two still collaborate on each others projects, consulting on designs and

helping with quality control.

You get two architects for the price

Its always good to have somebody

We push each other to make our projects better without having to worry
about offending the other. And I think
that shows in our work.
Theyre also grateful they can split up

Long hours and crushing deadlines are part of the

daily grind at one technology firm in Parsippany. But at
least once a year, the staff at Macrosoft dedicates the
day to sharing a laugh with the world.
Everyone can get in on the fun by viewing the companys annual April Fools Day video and Macrosofts
slightly daffy and utterly fictional ploy to convince
the world of a new breakthrough made in their field.
Some of our April Fools stuff is pretty out there,

of Marlboro. Our CEO and founder Ron Mueller en-

Muslims hold event

in Mountain Lakes
to condemn violence
Anyone who commits violence in the name of faith
is acting on a false narrative and false understanding
of faith, according to keynote speaker Imam Azhar
Haneef during a dinner and discussion of True Islam
and the Extremists Wednesday at the Villa at Mountain Lakes.
Speaking to a near-capacity audience filled with
law-enforcement and elected leaders from throughout New Jersey, Haneef was representing the Ahmadiyya Muslims in New Jersey as vice president of the
Ahmadiyya Muslim Communitys national organization.
It was the third such meeting at the Villa in the last
12 months, drawing a near-capacity crowd of about
250, doubling the attendance of the previous event.
What we are here to say is no religion has ever professed and proclaimed the denunciation of anyones
flag, the destruction of homelands and to deny people
their fundamental liberties, Haneef said. Religion
has never preached and asked us to practice extremism or terrorism. Religion has always asked us to practice love, harmony, justice and peace and good will on
