Superintendent addresses proposed cut in state aid By KATHY CHANG Staff Writer

he Monroe Township School District may face significant cuts in school state aid for the 2020-21 school year in the wake of the novel coronavirus pandemic. Gov. Phil Murphy has proposed cutting $335 million in his 2020-21 school funding budget proposal. The Monroe Board of Education ad-

opted its $136.89 million 2020-21 school budget at a meeting on April 27 with the expectation of receiving $6.93 million, an increase of $1 million from last year. With the proposed cuts, the district would receive $6.24 million, a $693,723 decrease for the district. “Next steps will include the administration compiling a list of new budgetary allocations and non-mandated programs and services,” Schools Superintendent Dori Alvich said. “[The] administration will

present those which have the least impact on program and instruction to the board’s committees and ultimately to the full board for adoption. Needless to say, we are severely underfunded to begin with and S-2 [state’s amended school funding formula] was supposed to be a pathway to full funding. Although our 2020-21 [school state aid] award is still approximately $300,000 higher than last budget year, this severe reduction of just under $700,000 is a major stumbling block on that pathway.”

ll must “work harder, speak louder and care more” to guarantee racism and social injustice have no home in Monroe, Mayor Gerald Tamburro said. The mayor said he was proud of the young adults, all graduates of Monroe Township High School, who organized a peaceful protest and rally at Thompson Park on June 7 in the wake of George Floyd’s death, as well as everyone who stood beside them. Floyd, an African American man, died after Minneapolis Police Department Officer Derek Chauvin, a white man, knelt on his neck for more than eight minutes after pinning him to the ground during an arrest on May 25. Chauvin was charged with second-degree murder on May 29. Three other officers, Tou Thao, Thomas Lane and J. Alexander Kueng, were charged with aiding and abetting Floyd’s murder on June 3. “Like many of you, I am deeply saddened over the senseless death of George Floyd,” Tamburro said. “Over the last 10 days, we have watched peaceful protests and destructive riots. We have seen division when what we need to see is unity.” Tamburro said the Monroe community is diverse, made up of all races, faiths and nationalities. “We know that we all must work harder, speak louder and care more to guarantee that racism and social injustice have no home in Monroe Township,” he said. “Monroe is filled with smart, wonderful people who I believe wish to build a kind, caring and unbiased community filled with people of all colors, black, white and

South River high schoolers organize march voicing opposition to police brutality By VASHTI HARRIS

Staff Writer

quipped with signs, their voices and protective masks, more than 200 protesters attended the #BlackLivesMatter march/protest on June 5 to bring local attention to police brutality. South River High School sophomores Mariana Bernardino, Samantha Oliveira, Fernando Cruz-Pena and Beatriz Carvalho co-organized the protest with help from the South River Police Department. On May 25, George Floyd, 46-year-old African American, died in Minneapolis, Minnesota, after white Minneapolis Police Officer Derek Chauvin knelt on his neck for almost nine minutes while Floyd was handcuffed. Since Floyd’s death, global, national and statewide protests and marches have taken place to bring attention to police brutality. “We decided to organize this because of how outraged we are by the events that keep happening every day. The fact that people are treated differently just because of their skin color breaks our hearts. We know that we can’t change the world overnight but that we can make a change in our community so we tried our best to,” Beatriz said. Before the march, protesters took a knee in the middle of the street in front of the South River Police Department Headquarters building, located at 61 Main St. Mariana, Beatriz and Samantha spoke briefly while members of the police department helped pass out water and Gatorade to protesters. Once the march began, protesters chanted “No justice, no peace,” “Black Lives Matter,” “I can’t breathe,” “George Floyd” and “Breonna Taylor.” Taylor is a 26-year-old African American emergency medical technician who was fatally shot by Louisville Metro Police Department officers in her house on March 13. Protesters marched up Main Street, made a left onto Gordon Street, then another left onto Jackson Street and Ferry Street, before ending the march back at police headquarters. Resident Jen Baker, who is the owner of Baker Squared, passed out free protective masks, water, Gatorade and cupcakes to protesters. The masks were created by the Middlesex County Mask Project. Baker said she wanted to provide free masks for the protesters so that everyone could feel safe while participating in the protest. “I was able to not only help supply some

drinks and cupcakes for the march, [but] I was also able to have the honor of standing and protesting with everyone trying to make a change in this country,” Baker said.

“It was full of power and raw emotion. It was a day and feeling I will never forget. To everyone that has the courage to stand for what’s right, know that we all stand together in unity.” Back at police headquarters, protesters took a knee to observe a moment of silence to honor Floyd and asked for members of the police department to take a knee with them. After speaking with several protesters, Chief of Police Mark Tinitigan and Mayor John Krenzel agreed to take a knee and observe another moment of silence to honor Floyd.

Police chief discusses race and law enforcement By VASHTI HARRIS Staff Writer

EAST BRUNSWICK – In response to the death of George Floyd and the ongoing nationwide protests, the East Brunswick Human Relations Council (EBHRC) held a virtual East Brunswick Police Department (EBPD) Town Hall. Floyd was an unarmed African American man who died after Minneapolis Police Officer Derek Chauvin knelt on the back of his neck for almost nine minutes. In the wake of Floyd’s death, nationwide peaceful protests, violence and looting have erupted, sparking discussions involving police brutality, the Black Lives Matter movement and police reform. More than 110 residents viewed the East Brunswick Human Relations Council’s (EBHRC) town hall on June 2 via Facebook Live. Panelists included Chief of Police Frank LoSacco, Mayor Brad Cohen, EBHRC Chairwoman Erum Shakir, EBHRC Vice Chairwoman Paula WalcottQuintin and EBHRC Member Nikil Sadaranganey. After seeing the events that were taking place around the country, LoSacco said he immediately contacted the EBHRC to help set up the event to inform residents about the police department’s bias training, com-

munity policing programs and the department’s hiring process. “Our goal this evening is to make sure that we …t ry to do the best we can to put people’s minds at ease, to know that we’re doing the right thing,” Cohen said. “With that having been said, it all really starts at the top and clearly what I mean starting at the top means township, government and public safety. We need to be a partnership and that has always been my No. 1 goal and the No. 1 goal of the council that represents you.” In August 2019, Cohen said he, with approval from the Township Council, chose to appoint LoSacco as the new police chief. LoSacco has been a member of the police department for 31 years, and he grew up and lives in the township. When choosing a new chief, Cohen said the township wanted someone who had experience in community policing, which he believes sits at the core of making people comfortable with knowing that their police are one of them. “I wanted somebody who would do everything possible to lead a unit that would never tolerate any of the actions, language or behavior that we’ve seen, and are witnessing right now across the country,” Cohen said.

Sadaranganey asked both LoSacoo and Cohen what their reactions were to the events that are taking place in Minnesota. “I will tell you, it shocked me to the core. Like the mayor said, I’ve been in law enforcement for 31 years and you see some things from time to time. As police, we always judge things based on the facts that are present with us,” LoSacco said. “There’s nothing that I saw that would make me think that this was not a totally barbaric act of criminal behavior. Nobody I’ve ever talked to and searching in my soul would ever think about endorsing something like that.” LoSacco said the horrible actions by Chauvin and the other three officers are not indicative of the hard and dedicated work that the police in East Brunswick do. “It’s shocking, unacceptable, and what’s more shocking and unacceptable is the fact that officers stood by and allowed that to happen. That’s nothing like I would ever see in the Township of East Brunswick and if anything came close to that, I would clearly take the quick and decisive action and remedy that,” LoSacco said. “It just kind of rocked me to the core, it’s sickening. I come from a family, many of whom are Holocaust survivors, and so for us to see people treated so inhumanely

after having an ancestry and family that’s been rocked by similar type of intolerance and racism just really hits me to the core,” Cohen said. “I think it points out an underbelly of racism that still exists in this country. We have a long history of poor treatment to African Americans all the way back to slavery. … This is just evidence that we haven’t really finished with fixing that problem.” Cohen said there are police officers who are overwhelmingly good people who swear their lives, take an oath and devote their entire careers to public safety. Unfortunately, that’s being hijacked by a few perpetrators within the ranks, who are nothing short of racist, impulsive and power-hungry people who they don’t represent law enforcement. Walcott-Quintin asked LoSacco what training EBPD officers have on implicit bias and de-escalation. Starting with its extremely competitive recruitment process, LoSacco said the police department might have one or two positions and receive between 300 or 400 applicants. During the selection process, a background investigation is done and the people in the candidate’s life are also interviewed. After the EBPD conducts

Superintendent addresses graduation, reacts to Floyd By VASHTI HARRIS Staff Writer

JAMESBURG – Superintendent Brian Betze has announced that Jamesburg Public Schools will hold virtual and in-person graduation for Grace Breckwedel Middle School eighth graders. Betze said there will be a virtual graduation on June 19, and also an in-person graduation scheduled for Aug. 13. In other news, the school district re-

leased a prepared statement addressing the recent events taking place: “The mission of the Jamesburg Public Schools ‘Celebrating Pride in Ourselves, Our Schools, Our Community’ is of paramount importance now more than ever. Each component is meant to inspire our students to take pride in not only themselves but to deeply care for the community in which they are being raised. “In these times of social unrest, as educators, we have the responsibility to direct-

ly confront the issue of racial injustice with the same ferocious urgency as we have all done with the pandemic. “The outrage in communities across the country in response to the killing of George Floyd is something we have all witnessed and certainly you feel, as we do, anger and frustration on many levels.” For more information, visit www. jamesburg.org.

Mayor informs small business owners about grant funds SPOTSWOOD – With social distance restrictions slowly being lifted, Mayor Edward Seely discussed how small business owners can potentially receive grant funds from Middlesex County. “The governor recently announced a few more openings, starting with restaurants being allowed to offer outside, in-person dining on June 15, and non-essential retailers will be back in business,” Seely said. “Additionally, the long-awaited opening of barbershops and hair salons will, at last, begin on June 22,” Seely said in a prepared statement. Seely said youth summer programs will also be allowed to start up on July 6. Of course, all of these openings will come with guidelines and restrictions. ”The county has begun taking applications for its small business grants to those impacted by COVID-19. The information is on our borough website, was sent out as a Nixle alert, and was posted on the Office on Aging’s Facebook page,” Seely said in the statement. “I will also be going door to door to local businesses to hand-deliver the information …” Seely said he has been told that even if a business owner is in doubt as to whether he or she thinks they qualify, apply. These are grants, not loans, and will not need to

brown. Our diversity is our strength.” Members of Indivisible of Monroe Township gathered with hundreds from the township and surrounding communities in support of the Black Lives Matter movement at Thompson Park. Indivisible members hosted a table providing water for rally attendees and offering volunteer opportunities, including assisting with its “Postcard to Voters” campaign to help get out the vote. Schools Superintendent Dori Alvich sent correspondence to families about the social unrest. “As educators it is our duty to inform and encourage students to accept differences, and value the strengths of different cultures and backgrounds, not fear or discriminate against them,” she said in the letter. “Monroe Township Schools deliver a diverse and culturally sensitive curriculum for its students, and we also implement the same cultural values and responsiveness in the administration, faculty, and staff.” Alvich said she has asked Michele Critelli, supervisor of guidance, to work with the guidance department to provide resources to assist parents in addressing issues of racism.

be repaid. ”There are times, perhaps more often than not, that government is difficult to figure out. We are told by executive order that no more than 25 people may gather at a time; however, it is a matter of great concern that the recent protests have garnered crowds as large as 4,000 people,” Seely said. “Where does the social distancing come into play? How will this affect the number of positive cases? How much of a negative impact will this have on the progress we have made?”

Seely said he is not making a statement as to the reason for the protests; however, the fact that we are living through a pandemic is significant and must be considered. On another note, Seely said the mother of a graduate of the Class of 2020, Diane Wells, approached the borough for assistance on a project to honor graduates. While the borough cannot pay for the banners, Seely said he approached JCP&L and applied for permission to hang banners in Spotswood, but there are simply not

enough poles to accommodate the number of students the borough has. “An alternate option was discussed, and the banners will be mounted on posts surrounding Borough Hall and towards the entrance of the high school. Wells spearheaded this project and, with [the] help of others, has raised the funds and will see this project through to completion. This once again proves that the people who volunteer and expend their energy for good can accomplish anything. … As always be safe, be smart, and stay healthy.”

psychological testing, the candidate is sent for a psychological evaluation by a physician. Depending on the results of the candidate’s evaluation, LoSacco said he or she will also come before for an interview panel, in which a series of questions asked, some of which will put the candidate under stress. “A lot of [the questions] are going to test you in the area of your prejudice and bias fuse. That alone right there, before you even get a uniform, goes a long way of identifying cracks in the foundation,” LoSacco said. If all that is acceptable, LoSacco said the candidate will go through basic police academy training which administers block instructions on communications techniques, cultural diversity, de-escalation techniques and use of force. Even after all that training, LoSacco said recruits also have training outside the police academy that includes discrimination and racial profiling. “We actually have a mandate every three years [where] you have to take a course and pass a test on discriminatory profiling, racial profiling, as well as every three years there is testing and training on

workplace harassment/discrimination in the workplace,” LoSacco said. When a recruit graduates from the police academy, LoSacco said that officer is assigned to a training officer, where they ride alongside for quite a long time to evaluate how a recruit handles all types of situations. A lot of times, the recruit has to have a lot of de-escalation skills. LoSacco said the use of force is mandated by the New Jersey Attorney General’s Office and has certain guidelines, which is handed down to the Middlesex County Prosecutor’s Office that also has guidelines. Then the guidelines are handed down to the police department. “Our agency is an accredited law enforcement, which means we have a whole set of policies and procedures that are in place to mirror what’s expected of the other most premier police department. We are accredited by the New Jersey State Association,” LoSacco said. “All those policies and procedures dictate the levels of force that police officers have to use in the case of procedural levels of force, like your mere presence in uniform.” Mandated by its policy to track and report use of force, LoSacco said the police department has a computer-based system that is used by its supervisors to track and report officers’ use of force. “it requires them to log into the system and indicate that this officer used the level

of force. That immediate supervisor gets that entry and that report gets forwarded to his next level supervisor, which would be a lieutenant,” LoSacco said. “That lieutenant will then do another entry into that system, it’s called a meaningful review, which requires that lieutenant to go back and look at everything that happened during that encounter, and make a determination of if he or she agrees and believes that level of force was reasonably necessary in mind.” Walcott-Quintin asked what reforms at the local, state and national levels can be put in place across the country to prevent instances of violence toward minority communities. At a local level, Cohen said selecting the right person as chief of police is a most critical decision due to the chief often dictating everything that follows because police departments are almost paramilitary, working on a chain of command. “You have to have a mission, that’s very clear on what the department stands for. You look like a hypocrite if the people that you pick and the culture that you display in your department is diabolically opposed to the mission statement that you have for that department. … I think that we’ve done an extraordinarily good job of trying to make sure that all of those things match up,” Cohen said. Community policing is also important, Cohen said, because residents need

June 17, 2020J

to know that their officers, while they’re doing an important job, are exceptionally well trained and are just like them. “The more our youth [and] the more the people that live here see those people as people that they could talk to, the person who’s going to be walking around the church, when services are on, they know that that officer over there is someone you’re going to bump into at the grocery store … and you know that you need to depend on somebody, these people are here for you,” Cohen said. “They’re working every day, they’re embedded and part of your community. In the end … I think you just have so much less likelihood of having these types of events occurring because you don’t look to the police or to law enforcement as your enemy.” LoSacco said the police department has five female officers, three African American officers, four Asian American officers and Hispanic officers. It also has a department-wide philosophy around community policing. One of the department community programs, LoSacco said, is the Citizens Academy where officers from various divisions give lectures to educate residents about topics ranging from cultural diversity to how they write speeding tickets to how they treat domestic violence victims.

Psychiatrist urges push for COVID vaccine

e are approaching the start of the third month of New Jersey’s fight against COVID-19. I regularly quantify how much time has passed as it seems the normalcy we knew earlier this year is worlds away. As a health care professional, I don’t see much relief in sight; though we’ve passed our peak, the destruction this virus has caused on our community’s health will take months, if not years, to repair. The physical impact is being addressed by our nation’s doctors and nurses, reallife heroes who are making a difference every day in the lives of patients. The mental health impact that this pandemic will have on all of us has yet to be reckoned with, and reasonably so. However, as a psychiatrist, I know some of the damage this has caused will be irreparable, and we’ll be left to deal with this long after we’ve put this virus behind us. But the only way we will

begin to reckon with this damage and towards normalcy is with a vaccine. New Jersey’s legislators need to support America’s biopharmaceutical industry as they progress towards a vaccine. The industry is collaborating at a higher degree than ever before in pursuit of a cure, the only thing that stands to end the nightmare we’re currently living in. Without one, we’ll be forced to live in fear, knowing every time we venture out, we risk both our health and the health of those we’re living with. Without a vaccine, the collective mental health of our nation will continue to decline. I urge New Jersey’s representatives in Congress to fully support the biopharmaceutical industry as they work overtime to find a vaccine for this horrible disease. Gagandeep Singh, MD Monroe Township

Special Strides will conduct therapy for veterans using horses

he Equine Science Center has announced its fundraising initiative kickoff for a large-scale research project focusing on Equine Assisted Activities & Therapies (EAAT) for veterans with post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) which will coincide with June’s Month of the Horse in New Jersey. The research project, conducted by the Equine Science Center at Rutgers University, will focus on the horse-human bond, and how EAAT affects both humans and horses during these types of therapy sessions. “It is important that we are not only able to fund the research that will be conducted, but also cover all costs associated with the veterans who will be volunteering their time for this important cause,” Center Director Dr. Karyn Malinowski said in a prepared statement. “This will be the first time research conducted with EAAT will measure the same physiological markers of stress and well-being simultaneously in both the horses and veterans.” The proposed project, an 8-week research trial by Ph.D. candidate Ellen Rankins, will examine equine and human health in the treatment of PTSD specifically within the New Jersey veteran population.

“The study will look at how the interactions between the horses and humans, sometimes referred to as a ‘horse/human bond’ affect one another,” Rankins said in the statement. “Not only will data be collected during the trial period, we will also follow up with the participants to observe how long these changes are sustained over time.” Rankins looks to enlist 120 participants for the project. From this group, 30 combat veterans diagnosed with PTSD will be selected to go through the therapy sessions. Assemblyman Ronald S. Dancer (NJ12) serves on the Military and Veterans’ Affairs Committee and is himself a veteran having served in the United State Army. “Growing up I saw first-hand the bond between horses and people, myself included, and the good that can come from that connection” Dancer said in the statement. “But when we then go to get these types of equine therapies covered by insurance, the first question asked is, ‘Where is the data, show me the science to prove that this type of therapy works.’ My hope is that the research conducted at the Equine Science Center will be able to scientifically demonstrate the effectiveness of EAAT.” While non-essential research at Rutgers is currently on hold, the research funding

initiative launched and donations can be made by visiting http://give.rutgers.edu/ escresearch. The center’s major fundraising event will be Rutgers Giving Day on June 17. The first $10,000 will be matched by UMH Properties, Inc., on behalf of Sam Landy. To help with this challenge-match, visit

Spotswood native earns lacrosse honor in college By STEVEN BASSIN Staff Writer

SPOTSWOOD – Shea Obado is an athlete who is always up for a challenge. “I’m a competitor,” Obado said. “I try to conquer anything I set my mind to. I’m always trying to be the best in anything I do.” The Spotswood native got an opportunity to challenge himself and play lacrosse at the collegiate level for Sage College of Albany after graduating from Spotswood High School in 2018. It was a big challenge for Obado since he did not get the chance to play lacrosse in high school because Spotswood didn’t have a boys lacrosse program. Despite being at a disadvantage with competing against other players who had the luxury of playing lacrosse at the younger level, Obado didn’t back down and took his game to the next level over the past two years. His hard work helped him earn one of the team’s top honors for the 2020 season as a sophomore, being named Gator of The Year for the men’s lacrosse program. “I was really hyped when I first heard about it,” Obado said. “I made a big leap in my play this year. It’s crazy to achieve this honor after not playing lacrosse in high school and doing so in a short amount of time.” The Men’s Lacrosse Gator of The Year award is given to the player who exhibits the best all-around play on the field and does well off the field in the classroom, Obado was told by his head coach, Ryan Lanigan. Obado shined on the field during the squad’s shortened season due to the coronavirus pandemic. He played in all seven games, tallying 10 points by scoring three goals and dishing out seven assists from his midfielder position. The sophomore was also a team captain this season. During his freshman campaign, Obado racked up nine goals and 11 assists in 16 games played. He led the squad in 2019 with 95 ground balls and forced 10 turnovers. One of Obado’s top moments during his freshman season was scoring the go-ahead goal against Houghton College to help the Gators earn a 12-9 victory. Not being able to play lacrosse in high school made Obado want to learn more about the sport, he said. It’s the reason why Obado loves going to practice and working more on his game. “I love learning,” Obado said. “Lacrosse is a sport that came naturally to me.

If you keep practicing at it, you can become good at it.” Obado showcased his athletic abilities in many ways during his time at Spotswood High. He played running back and defensive back for the school’s football team and helped the program win its third straight Greater Middlesex Conference Blue Division title during the 2016 season. On the wrestling mat, Obado shined for the Chargers. He punched his ticket down to Atlantic City during his senior year and competed in the New Jersey State wrestling tournament at 160 pounds. Obado compiled a 31-9 record during his senior season for Spotswood. He also competed for the school’s spring track and field and tennis teams while in high school. It was during the summer when Obado was able to play the sport he loves: lacrosse. Obado played for Tri-State Lacrosse and the Big Green Lacrosse Club, a boys lacrosse program based in East Brunswick. The summer going into his senior year of high school, Obado attended a boys lacrosse camp at Kean University. It was there that he made friends with DJ Baraniuk, who was being recruited at the time by Sage. Baraniuk told Lanigan about Obado and the coach proceeded to come all the way down to New Jersey to watch his now star midfielder wrestle a match against Hunterdon Central High School. After Obado’s match, the two talked, and the rest was history, as Obado puts it. In two years, Obado has become one of the team’s top players. He and his other Sage teammates are hoping to make some noise in the Empire 8 Conference next season after not getting the chance to see what they could do this spring because of COVID-19. “Our team feels we’re stepping in the right direction,” Obado said. “It was a great feeling to get the Gator of The Year honor this year. Coach (Lanigan) told me he definitely believes I took a big leap in my play this season. Hoping to build on it and help the team do well next year.” Obado admits that it didn’t feel real at first when the pandemic hit and the season was canceled. As he puts it, he went from being a freshman to a sophomore to now a junior in a blink of an eye. Obado said he is grateful that he has another two years left and will not take anything for granted going forward. “I’m pushing myself harder than I have ever before,” Obado said. “I started from the bottom and worked my way up to getting an award this season. The sky’s the limit.”

Four South River candidates will race for two open seats on council By VASHTI HARRIS Staff Writer

SOUTH RIVER – Four candidates will face off to secure two three-year terms on the South River Borough Council on Election Day in November. Primary Election Day is July 7. Former council members and Democrats Shawn Haussermann and Julie Meira will face incumbent Republican James Gurchensky, along with newcomer and Republican David Rein. Gurchensky, 71, is a lifelong South River resident and before retiring, was a field maintenance technician for the U.S. Postal Service for more than 30 years. “Well besides being [an] incumbent really … it’s more of a duty and it’s my appreciation to see that I can do whatever I could possibly do. I feel responsible to the residents in town,” Gurchensky said. “I feel like it’s my duty. I enjoy living here.” Gurchensky is a lifetime member of the VFW and the Disabled American Veterans, a member of the St. Mary of Ostrabrama Church, and a marshal for the church’s Holy Name Society. He is also the council liaison to the borough’s Utility Department and Department of Public Works. “Basically, [I am running for re-election] to uphold the standard of living for the people in town and everything like that. To keep it as economical and as reasonable as we possibly can,” Gurchensky said. “It is an older town, it does need quite a bit of TLC, so to speak, because a lot of the systems have deteriorated and unfortunately

we cannot do everything at once because it’s cost-prohibitive. My intention is to give the best possible service to everyone as much as I possibly can.” Haussermann, 62, has been a South River resident all of his life. “I am running again for council as I have seen that these last two years under Republican control have brought nothing but increases in tax bills, water bills and building fees, and reductions and elimination of services to our residents,” Haussermann said. Haussermann said he worked in the satellite television industry in various roles for more than 20 years. Most recently he worked as a field manager for Dish Network for the last seven years. He is running for the three-year council term with former Councilwoman Julie Meira. “If successful, this would be my fifth term on the council, having served two terms in the late ’90s and two terms ending in 2018. During those years I served the residents of South River as liaison to the Board of Health, the Office on Aging and various other committees,” he said. “I also served as council president and acting mayor, along with acting as chairman of the Finance and Budget committees. “If I am given the opportunity to once again serve with Meira,” Hausserman said, “I hope to continue the progress we were making before the Republicans took over. Our roads need to be paved, our parks need improvements and our taxes and especially our electric bills need to be reduced. Meira and I can get these things done.”

EBEF awards 91 distance learning grants for schools EAST BRUNSWICK – With teachers needing educational tools to conduct class during the coronavirus crisis, the East Brunswick Education Foundation (EBEF) funded more than $30,000 in distance learning grants. “The switch to virtual learning required teachers to turn their kitchens, dens and other areas of their houses into classrooms. Teachers needed supplies like portable whiteboards, tripods to hold their phones while they recorded lessons, and in some cases, butterfly larvae to complete the grade two science curriculum,” EBEF President Jack Levitt said in a statement released by the district. Teachers made the switch from in-person to virtual learning over a weekend in mid-March as a result of Gov. Phil Murphy’s executive order to close the schools to mitigate the spread of the coronavirus.

This rapid shift in instructional practices required teachers to get creative with their lessons, according to the statement. The EBEF offered teachers distance learning grants of up to $500 each to support this creativity and innovation. In total, the EBEF awarded 91 grants to teachers at all 11 schools throughout the district, totaling more than $30,000 of financial support. The EBEF “Present with a Future” campaign allows donors to honor a teacher, graduate, family member, or friend with a minimum $10 donation to EBEF, or can be used as a memorial contribution. A card will be sent to the person that is being honored or the loved ones of a person who is being remembered. For more information about the Present with a Future campaign, visit www.EBEF. org.

Meira, 30, is a lifelong South River resident and a first-generation American. “I am very fortunate to be able to own a home and raise my children in the same loving community I was brought up in,” she said. Meira served on the council from 201719. Prior to serving on the council, she served on the library board, community garden, green team and other committees within the borough. “I work at a local business in town, so I am committed and continue to support our local businesses. I hope to help find solutions for our small businesses going forward in this new lifestyle we will all take on,” Meira said. “I also hope to fight for more online streaming services within the borough. It is now needed more than ever and is something that the borough has neglected.” Rein, 60, was born and raised in South River and has lived in the borough for 54 of his 60 years. “I decided to run because I have always been proud of being from South River and want to bring that feeling back to the current residents,” Rein said. “There has been a lot of negative opinions and sentiments about our town over the past few years from outsiders and some residents.” Another reason that inspired him to run, Rein said, was because of his son Matthew who passed away in 2014. “My son Matthew would probably be the one running for this council position if he were still with us. Matthew was born in 1995 and lived his entire life here and he loved his South River,” Rein said. “He

loved the small-town feel and the diverse cultures that are a big part of South River and always have been. Even though he went to school out of town he still loved to say his hometown was South River.” Rein said Matthew was in the beginning of his sophomore year at Albright College when he died in an off-campus house fire. “My wife Janice Lynn Rein and I are involved in his former high school and club swim teams and we do a number of other things because we know he would want us to be involved in the things he liked,” Rein said. “We could definitely see him running for office, so I am running with him urging me on.” Since his son’s passing, Rein said he and his wife set up a foundation in his name and fundraise during the year to donate to charities in his name. Being his first time running for a political office, Rein has been a public accountant for more than 35 years. “I would like to continue to keep the town moving forward but at the same time not put a bigger tax burden on property owners,” Rein said. “I would like to see the downtown area return to the bustling business district it used to be from years ago and be there for the small business owners in town when we get back to our ‘new normal’ way of life after the coronavirus situation we are dealing with now. “We are at a crossroads in our world as individuals, business owners and public officials with all that we are dealing with at this time and I hope I can make a small difference in our small town of South River,” Rein said.

BUSINESS BRIEFS The Jamesburg Monroe Regional Chamber of Commerce officially rebranded to the Central New Jersey Regional (CNJR) Chamber of Commerce as of May 1. Its recent growth has sparked the need to expand the chamber’s outreach to include support to neighboring communities that are unrepresented, such as Spotswood, Helmetta, Milltown, South Brunswick and East Windsor. The benefits to the business community will be enhanced with more diverse programming such as fundraising events, award galas, after hour socials and an evergrowing agenda of educational seminars offered through a newly formed Speaker’s Bureau. There will be numerous opportunities, as well, for members to receive increased business exposure through spot-

light presentations, digital marketing on the chamber’s social platforms, and by participating on committees. The CNJR Chamber of Commerce held its first networking event virtually through Zoom on June 3. The CNJRCC officially launched its new branding by holding a Rewards Recognition Ceremony to honor teachers and students from the Monroe Township and Spotswood high schools who participated in a contest offered by the Chamber’s Board members to create the chamber’s new logo. The winning logo was designed by Spotswood High School senior, Sheliza Dollete, under the guidance of Joseph Schwartz, Computer Graphic Design teacher.
