Monroe Township High School’s top students overcome with nostalgia By KATHY CHANG Staff Writer

s seniors Paul Barsa and Alexandra Henn made their way back to Monroe Township High School to film their valedictorian and salutatorian speeches, respectively, for their upcoming virtual graduation, they were overcome with nostalgia and emotions. “It was really emotional,” Henn said. “It was good to come [back] one more time.” Schools have been closed since March because of the novel coronavirus pandemic. Monroe Township High School (MTHS) will hold a virtual graduation ceremony on June 24. High School Principal Kevin Higgins said they are planning a wave parade through the campus of the high school and community clap-out throughout the township on the same date. The community also began an adopt-a-senior program where people could adopt a senior and send gifts. With Gov. Phil Murphy’s recent announcement of in-person graduations allowed after July 6 and 500 people allowed to gather on July 3, Higgins said the district will also celebrate the 590-member Class of 2020 with four in-person graduation

ceremonies on July 6, 8, 9 and 10 on the school’s football field. The ceremonies will begin at 9 a.m. with 140 graduates. Each graduate is allowed two guests. The school district normally holds graduation at the Sun National Bank Center in Trenton. Barsa and Henn said they will miss the friends they have made and the teachers who have guided and supported them along they way. During his time at MTHS, Barsa said he enjoyed his time competing on a global scale with the robotics club and serving as president of the computer club, which he helped develop. He also was a member of the Future Business Leaders of America, and Math and National honor societies. Barsa is headed to Georgia Tech in Atlanta with a focus in mechanical engineering. During her time at MTHS, Henn was involved in the YMCA New Jersey Youth and Government, which holds a conference every April where students come together and create their own legislative chambers.

East Brunswick Democrats seek re-election to council By VASHTI HARRIS

Staff Writer

our candidates are running for two available seats on the East Brunswick Township Council. Incumbent Democrats Sterley Stanley and Michael Spadafino will face off against newcomer candidates Olga Miller and Suzanne Blum, who are Republicans, for the four-year terms in November. Primary Election Day is July 7. Blum, 53, was born and raised in East Brunswick, attended East Brunswick Public Schools and is a proud graduate of East Brunswick High School. “I decided to run for council to give back to the town that has provided the American Dream for my family and [me],” Blum said. “I want to ensure that future generations Suzanne Blum see East Brunswick as the destination to live, retire and raise their families.” While working as a school teacher, Blum said she is also an active parishioner of St. Bartholomew Church, where she is a eucharistic minister and former Confraternity of Christian Doctrine (CCD) instructor. She is a committeewoman for the East Brunswick Republican Municipal Committee and has been a member, and has previously served as, the president, vice president and secretary in the East Brunswick Republican Club. If elected to the council, Blum said, “The first issue I would address is redevelopment. I am advocating for smart redevelopment, with an emphasis on single-family dwellings and mixed-use developments with small businesses. The second most important issue is reducing the property taxes. My goal is to make East Brunswick a more affordable place for families and small businesses alike.” Miller, 34, has lived in East Brunswick for six years and is currently a global warehousing and logistics leader at Solvay USA Inc. “I have been fortunate to have a progressive career with a large global chemical manufacturing company, but I have always been interested in politics and recent

events have inspired me to get involved within our community,” Miller said. She is also a member of the East Brunswick Republican Club. If elected to the council, Miller said, “As a mother and a resident of this amazing town, first, I want to see our parks and playgrounds improved so families can enjoy exploring the outdoors together, and we know how important that is right now. Second, I want to see East Brunswick become a home to more family-friendly businesses and deOlga Miller velopments to improve the quality of life for generations to come.” Spadafino, 70, has lived in East Brunswick for 55 years and works as a chiropractic physician. In addition to serving on the council, Spadafino is on the township’s Redevelopment Commission, the Recreation and Parks Committee and the Museum Committee. “For nearly 55 years, East Brunswick has not only been my home, but it is in the fiber of my being. From a high school student to a teacher and coach and finally, as a local chiropractor, I am personally invested Michael Spadafino in East Brunswick and its future,” Spadafino said. “I have been a councilman for nearly seven years, representing all residents and have worked diligently to serve their interests and concerns. “Mayor Brad Cohen, Stanley and I promised to restore financial stability, redevelop the Route 18 corridor, and maintain the many services that we now enjoy when we ran together four years ago and I believe that we have delivered on our commitment to the residents of East Brunswick,” Spadafino said. He is also a member of the St. Bartholomew Knights of Columbus and is on

on the web: www.centraljersey.com

the Board of Directors for the East Brunswick Lions Club and the East Brunswick Chamber of Commerce. If re-elected to the council, Spadafino said fiscal responsibility and commitment to the future are key issues he wishes to continue tackling. “Cohen, Stanley and I, along with our fellow council members, have worked diligently to hold the line on taxes and to improve services,” Spadafino said. “We have used every tool at our disposal to achieve this. We understand the unique challenges we face during this historic pandemic and are prepared to meet them. “Over the 55 years of living in East Brunswick, I have seen several transformations of the town. Some were good, others not so good. The vision of Cohen and my fellow council members to revitalize the Route 18 corridor will be a very positive change for our town, bringing in new ratables and businesses to our business district. The redevelopment plan is well underway, and in response, there has been a dramatic increase in new businesses in town,” Spadafino said. Spadafino said the council has revamped its engineering department to be more responsive to new businesses and re-established a strong Chamber of Commerce, which currently has almost 200 members. Safety is a high priority, and the council has expanded the police force for residents’ protection and security. Stanley, 53, has lived in East Brunswick for 20 years and works as an independent insurance broker and manager at the South Brunswick Motor Vehicle Agency. Serving as the current council president, Stanley also is president of the East Brunswick Lions Club and president of the Fox Meadow Condominium Association. Stanley said he is seeking reelection to continue the work started in 2017 when he was sworn into office with Cohen and Spadafino. The three main concerns residents had at the time were financial stability of the township, the closing of businesses in town and the dilapidated state of the Route 18 business corridor. “We have come a long way in addressing these issues and challenges we faced. Since I have been in office, we have been able to minimize municipal tax increases to an average of less than 2% each year,” Stanley said. “We have done this while maintaining a very high credit rating. With the cooperation of the business community, we have opened over 300 new businesses in town in the past three years. The

township has made assisting these businesses a priority, an effort recognized by the business community. “Lastly, we re-established the East Brunswick Redevelopment Agency which has worked cooperatively with developers to lay the groundwork for the redevelopment of the Route 18 corridor,” Stanley said. “Plans have been developed, and a redeveloper has been selected to move these projects forward soon. I would like to continue serving the town along with Cohen and Spadafino to complete the projects that have been approved and help secure the financial future of the township moving ahead.” If re-elected to the council, Stanley said the three issues he wants to continue tacking are fiscal responsibility, commitment to the future and community building. “Cohen, Spadafino and I are committed to the future of East Brunswick. This process was started back in 2017 with the resurgence of the Redevelopment Agency,” Stanley said. “Residents who were appointed to the agency helped pave the way for redeveloping the Route 18 corridor. Spadafino and I served as members of the agency to help spearhead the movement for a better tomorrow for East Brunswick.” Stanley said the council is proud of the township’s blue-ribbon schools, and it are committed to maintaining a strong working relationship with the Board of Education. “East Brunswick is blessed to have a diverse community and our Police DepartSterley Stanley ment is years ahead in their community outreach programs. We are fortunate to have men and women on the police force dedicated to protecting and serving our community,” Stanley said. “In the last four years, we have rebuilt and forged a strong relationship with the police department to be united in reaching the same goals for the betterment of our community.” Contact Vashti Harris at vharris@newspapermediagroup.com.

Father’s Day bike ride will raise funds for cancer research By VASHTI HARRIS Staff Writer

EAST BRUNSWICK – Using his passion for bicycle riding to help raise money for cancer research, resident Jeffrey Blivaiss will hold a Father’s Day Bike Ride for the Pan Mass Challenge. The Pan Mass Challenge (PMC) is an annual bike-a-thon that is usually held the first weekend in August. Donations from the PMC support lifesaving cancer research and treatment at the Dana-Farber

Cancer Institute in Boston. One hundred percent of their donations go directly to the institute, according to Blivaiss. Blivaiss said he has lived in the township since 1984, having moved there as a kid. After law school, he moved back to East Brunswick to start his own family, living a mile from the house he grew up in. “I started riding in the Pan Mass Challenge in 2012. My wife’s aunt had leukemia and her son was raising money for his ride in the PMC. Rather than merely contribute to his ride, I chose to ride my-

self and raise money to support the PMC,” Blivaiss said. “Unfortunately, my wife’s aunt passed away a month after our ride. My parents are both cancer survivors, and I have other family and friends who have fought their battles against cancer, but regrettably, I’ve also had family and friends who have not.” Blivaiss said he continued to ride for five years in honor and memory of those people and to help raise money to conduct further cancer research. For the Father’s Day Bike Ride event,

Blivaiss said he, Brian Enda, Gene Forman, John Mitchell, Joshua Stein and Alex Zernitsky will ride their bikes for 25 miles on June 21. Blivaiss said the dads will start at a central location in East Brunswick and end at the East Brunswick Public Library’s parking lot on Civic Center Drive. “I had stopped cycling 2017 to 2018 due to injuries, but I started to consider getting back to riding,” Blivaiss said. “Due to COVID-19, I was looking for an outdoor activity that both of my kids would like so I started cycling regularly with them and had no physical issues and both of my kids enjoyed biking around town.” At the same time, Blivaiss said he noticed that, as a result of COVID-19, PMC chose to continue its annual ride in a virtual capacity so without having to drive to Massachusetts to ride he thought it would be convenient to set up a route locally to ride and raise money for the cause. “I decided to ask a couple of my friends if they would ride with me; they immediately said yes and that led to a larger group. It only seemed appropriate to have a group of dads ride on Father’s Day,” Blivaiss said. Preparing for the ride, Blivaiss said he tries to ride a few days a week and for the last few weeks he has been riding the route to get comfortable with it. “The PMC became a very important part of my life because everybody is affected by cancer. It has always been a way for me to give back, honor the survivors, and pay tribute to those who have passed,” Blivaiss said. “It was heartbreaking for me the years I skipped it due to back surgery and injuries. I truly missed cycling so one of the good things that came out of our COVID-19 experience has been getting back into it and bringing a couple of dads together for a bike ride on Father’s Day.” For more information about the Pan Mass Challenge, visit www.pmc.org.

Spotswood council tables salary for administrative assistant position By VASHTI HARRIS Staff Writer

SPOTSWOOD–The Borough Council introduced an ordinance, which if adopted, would amend the municipal code to establish salary ranges for various non-union employees. Despite introducing the ordinance, the council did not approve the administrative assistant and human resource officer’s salary ranges on June 8 via video conference. The second and final reading is scheduled for June 22. Business Administrator Dawn McDonald said as part of the ordinance, it would establish the salary range for Administrative Assistant Cate Leedy, as well as an additional salary range due to her becoming the borough’s first human resource officer. “The salary ordinance only establishes range, it doesn’t authorize any increases to any employee; however, what it will hold up is it will hold up the raises for all the other non-union employees because once the ordinance is adopted, the next step is to do the salary resolution which authorizes those raises,” McDonald said. For Leedy’s position as the administrative assistant, the salary range would be $34,000 to $60,000 bi-weekly and as the human resource officer, the salary range would be $5,000 to $15,000 quarterly, according to the council agenda. Since its May 18 meeting, the council has voted to pull the ordinance from the agenda due to monetary reasons. Before the council voted to introduce the ordinance, Mayor Edward Seely respectfully asked the council to vote on the ordinance in its entirety. “The point is, Leedy does a lot more than an administrative assistant should. … She has over 25 years of experience in a variety of jobs,” Seely said. “She is not in a union so she is not afforded step increases union members are and her responsibilities are equal to, if not greater than, those in a union.” Relying heavily on Leedy to maintain and handle the daily operations of his office, Seely said she has had to deal with an increase in responsibilities as the administrative assistant, as well as manage her new position as human resource officer for the past 13 months. “[Leedy] has earned the respect and trust of her peers. The council has expressed concerns about the proposed pay increase as well as her abilities and qualifications to perform the position,” Seely said. “That is [the council’s] right to do so, but not one council member has reached out to Leedy in reference to this. They have all seen her resume … and reach out with their concerns. “I respectfully say to the council, do what you must but stop putting it off be-

cause it’s not fair to her since you have not done this to any other employee. You know I don’t have any control over finances but I put forth what I think is right. If you don’t think so then we need to make a decision,” he said. Councilman Ted Ricci said he respectfully disagrees with Seely. “I heard what the mayor said and while I don’t disagree with his assessment of [Leedy’s] abilities, I know that she is capable of doing everything he said she can do. I think … doubling [her] salary right

now given our situation is not an advisable thing,” Ricci said. Ricci said he does not think it’s up to each individual council member to talk to Leedy and thinks it sets a bad example because what he might say may be different than what another council member might say. After much discussion, the council agreed to meet together to discuss a plan on how it wants to move forward pertaining to the ordinance by its next meeting. At this point, Leedy said as acting hu-

man resource officer she has been doing an additional job that she has not been compensated for. “I don’t understand. I truly don’t understand and I am hoping that the council can explain to me exactly why this has taken so long. Exactly why, the work that I have done for the borough so far, the work that I continue to do for the borough at this point, is … not being respected, and in a very large way has kind of been discounted,” Leedy said. “I don’t understand how that

Karrie Anne (Liporto) Kapoor MILTON, MA – Karrie Anne (Liporto) Kapoor, 43, of Milton, passed away Friday morning, June 12, 2020 at her residence, with her loving family by her side. She succumbed to mantle cell lymphoma after battling it for nearly a year. She was the beloved wife of Alok Kapoor. Born in Beverly, she was the daughter of Timothy and Joan Liporto and Janice Chruniak. Karrie earned her Information Assurance masters degree from Northeastern University and her Business degree from Lesley University. She worked for many years in the bio pharmaceutical industry until focusing her time fully on her family. In addition to her husband, with whom she shared almost eight years of marriage, and her parents, she is survived by two daughters, Elizabeth Kapoor of Milton and Margaret Kapoor of Monroe Township, NJ; three sons, Raj Kapoor of Milton, Nihkil Kapoor and Ajay Kapoor both of Monroe Township, NJ; two sisters, Jennifer Fisher and her husband Paul of Pelham, NH and Allison Brucker and her husband Matt Brucker of Beverly, MA, and two brothers, Timothy Liporto and his wife Sarah of Danvers and Andrew Liporto and his wife Kristen of Danvers. She was a devoted and loving aunt to Ryan, Samantha, Deven, Christopher, Lyla, Stone, Celia, Sara, Kate, Bailey, and Hannah. She is also survived by her loving father and mother-in-law, Ashok and Meena Kapoor, and sister-in-law, Aarti Comstock. And she was an extremely devoted dog mom to her beloved Bernese Mountain dog, Baer Maximus. Her vibrant personality and love of life was evident immediately to anyone who met her and was quickly contagious. She was an avid Boston sports fan, an athlete (love of soccer), an adventurer (loved travel), an artist (amazing creativity), a lover of music, profoundly affectionate, friend to many, and a fighter (never gave up on herself fighting cancer). Karrie’s philosophy on life and favorite quote was, “Live the life you love.” Due to precautions surrounding COVID-19, services will be held privately, but available for live simulcast at www.campbellfuneral.com on Friday, June 19 at 9:30am. A celebration of Karrie’s life with friends and family will be held at a later date. In lieu of flowers, donations in Karrie’s memory may be made to: (1) MSPCA-Angell, Attn: Donations, 350 South Huntington Ave, Boston, MA 02130 or (2) CFAC - Mass General Hospital Development Office, Attn: Caring for a Cure, 125 Nashua Street, Boston MA 02114.

happened. I don’t understand how we got to where we all are at this point in the year when this has been going on for almost a year.” Councilmen Charlie Spicuzzo, Jose Rivera, Larry Kraemer and Ricci expressed to Leedy that their issue has nothing to with her much-respected capabilities. “My concern with the whole thing is a monetary issue, because of COVID, and everything like that, I don’t feel it’s appropriate to be giving raises out at this time. It’s not to say that there won’t be any raises coming out or you won’t be getting raised,”

June 24, 2020J

Spicuzzo said. “I just, at this time, I think this is a large number that we have to sit down and really discuss to make sure that this is what the town can afford. It has no reflection on your abilities or what you do and what you’ve done for us in the past.” Ricci said Leedy will be compensated for all the work she has done this year and all the extra work she did last year in a proposal he is trying to put together. “Right now with everything going on the numbers that are in there just don’t work out right now,” Ricci said.

Mayor (Continued from page 1)

for future generations to come.” Amin said as a small business owner who has built successful businesses, managed payrolls and balanced budgets, he knows what it takes to practice fiscal responsibility and make the tough decisions to make ends meet. “As mayor, I plan to utilize my professional background to make sure our local government advocates for East Brunswick’s families and promote a culture of innovation and opportunities for our small businesses,” Amin said. Amin is a member of the East Brunswick Republican Municipal Committee and the Asian American Retailers Association. If elected mayor, Amin said, “The first issue I would address is redevelopment. Cohen likes to talk the talk on redevelopment, but the fact is we have not yet broken ground. Instead of implementing his redevelopment plan and attracting businesses to East Brunswick, Cohen has attracted lawsuits. “It’s the residents of East Brunswick who will ultimately pay the cost of the mayor’s incompetence in this area in three ways: the legal fees the township must pay to deal the lawsuits; the higher property taxes, since the mayor’s failure at redevelopment means revenue shortfalls get passed on to taxpayers; and in property values for homeowners as the blighted portion of Route 18 corridor makes East Brunswick less desirable,” Amin said. For residential development, Amin said he would prioritize single-family homes and stand up to the urbanization of East Brunswick. “The mayor wants to create high-density developments in areas of town where [there] is already a significant traffic and infrastructure burden, and calls for transforming our town into a new Hoboken or Somerville,” Amin said. “Such plans that he proposed four years ago have amounted to fantasy, and the only tangible results are numerous legal lawsuits from property and business owners that will cost the taxpayers of East Brunswick tens of thousands of dollars and bonds that residents would be paying for years.” Reducing property taxes, Amin said, is another issue he plans to tackle while maintaining East Brunswick top-notch level of services and quality of life. “My goal is to make East Brunswick an affordable destination for families and businesses alike, and the top town in central New Jersey. As mayor, I pledge to never raise property taxes on homeowners and will run a top to bottom audit of municipal government to identify and eliminate wasteful spending,” Amin said. “My

NEWSPAPER MEDIA GROUP • www.centraljersey.com

plan to expedite redevelopment will bring in new revenue streams to the township that will reduce the reliance on property taxes from single-family homes. As mayor, I will never entertain the idea of a PILOT program, as they simply pass the costs on from politically connected developers to homeowners.” Amin said combining township services with local organizations will increase the safety net afforded to the most vulnerable among residents. “I support working with local religious institutions to expand food banks and so that residents, many of them seniors, never get caught in an emergency looking for food,” Amin said. “I will also prioritize the health of East Brunswick residents by supporting the first aid squad and working to relieve stress on the healthcare system.” Cohen, 59, has been an East Brunswick resident for 27 years. He is a physician at Saint Peter’s Physician Associates. Elected mayor in November 2016, Cohen is member of several committees that include: East Brunswick Planning Board, East Brunswick Library Board of Trustees, East Brunswick Sustainability Committee, East Brunswick Beautification Committee, East Brunswick Redevelopment Advisory Committee, Wilf Campus for Senior Living Board of Trustees, East Brunswick Democratic Organization’s Committeeman for District Four, Congregation B’nai Tikvah, East Brunswick Jewish Center, and East Brunswick BPOE’s Elks Lodge 23706. “I want to continue to move East Brunswick forward by continuing to enrich the lives of our residents through effective financial policy balanced with a broad array of services, programs and opportunities,” Cohen said. “This was the promise made by me, Councilmen Sterley Stanley and Michael Spadafino four years ago when we ran together and it is one I strongly believe we have kept. “While we have accomplished a great deal, much more remains to be done. With the pandemic, a financial crisis,and strained social justice issues as a backdrop, my most important goal remains the health and safety of every resident while we reopen our economy,” Cohen said. “We need to continue to be the model of tolerance and acceptance as we draw strength from the diverse fabric that defines East Brunswick.” Some of his greatest accomplishments, Cohen said, include keeping the township safe, well informed and connected during the pandemic and worst economic crisis since the Great Depression; keeping tax rates stable and increases below national and state averages; and maintaining the highest possible credit rating. “[More than] 300 new businesses have come into East Brunswick during my first term in office. My team and I have reestablished our Chamber of Commerce,”

Cohen said. While continuing to serve as mayor, Cohen said there has been more community involvement in township boards, commissions, council and committees. “Roadwork continues at record pace. More roads have been repaired and resurfaced in the past 3-4 years than in any similar period in the past decade,” Cohen said. “This commitment has also extended to securing vast improvements to our miles of county and state roadways as well.” If re-elected, Cohen said he plans to continue tackling several issues that include fiscal responsibility. “In the face of a national financial collapse and healthcare crisis, the most pressing issue is to keep taxes under control while continuing to provide for the safety and services we need in a fiscally responsible manner,” Cohen said. “We will achieve this by following the same strict financial controls that have kept our taxes rates at or below state and national averages. It will also require working with our council, county, state and federal partners upon whom we depend for much needed financial assistance.” Committing to the future, Cohen said, is another issue he plans to accomplish through the township’s redevelopment projects, the influx of new businesses, the arts, and top-rated public schools. “Our redevelopment projects will help revitalize vast sections of the Route 18 corridor that have fallen into blight and disrepair. Besides bringing new businesses, new jobs and a ‘downtown’ it will bring muchneeded tax revenue to the township,” Cohen said. Cohen said that community building is another issue he plans to tackle that is already well underway and is occurring through all the township’s services, community programs, civic engagement and community policing. “This commitment to community policing began well before the current crisis unfolding before our eyes. It will play a prominent role as we address these issues right here, throughout New Jersey and across the nation,” Cohen said. “In the past four years, we have been able to fill all our positions on boards, commissions and committees.” Additionally, Cohen said new organizations have been formed or reformed in response to this renewed interest in the community. These include the East Brunswick Community Arts Coalition, the Sustainability Committee, the Beautification Committee, the Clergy Council, the Redevelopment Agency, the Redevelopment Advisory Committee, and the East Brunswick Regional Chamber of Commerce.

May the sacred heart of Jesus be the adored, glorified, loved and preserved throughout the world now and forever. Sacred heart of Jesus pray for us. St. Jude, worker of miracles, pray for us. St. Jude, hope of the hopeless, pray for us. Say this prayer nine times a day. By the eighth day your prayer will be answered. Say it for nine days. It has never been known to fail. Publication must be promised. Thank you, St. Jude.
