Bill changes ‘freeholder’ title to ‘commissioner’

Supporters of vote-by-mail ballots for the election in November demonstrated on Aug. 22 at the East Brunswick Post Office on Cranbury Road to ensure a proper election process.

Jamesburg will opt for all-remote learning through Nov. 1

nterim Superintendent Dennis Filippone announced the Jamesburg Public School District will implement a fully virtual reopening plan through Nov. 1. “On behalf of the Jamesburg Board of Education, administration and staff, I will do my best to give you the latest information on the reopening of schools in September,” Filippone said in a prepared statement. “Please understand that all of the changes and unknowns that I will explain in this letter have not been caused by the board or the administration here in Jamesburg.” In late June, Filippone said the school district received guidance from the Department of Education (DOE) outlining what standards schools needed to meet to

reopen. The school district developed a plan for a hybrid-only model with students attending school in person two days per week. “The guidance from the state at that time was that no plan that involved a fully virtual option was acceptable,” Filippone said in the statement. “In mid-July, the DOE provided us with new guidance mandating that we offer a virtual choice to our parents. We did surveys and almost 40% of our parents chose the virtual option.” At a board meeting in July, Filippone presented the proposed reopening plan to the board and the public. The plan included both the fully virtual and in school options. The plan was submitted to the county superintendent and was approved the first

week in August. From June 1 through Aug. 12, Filippone said the DOE was clear that an inperson option must be offered. During his Aug. 12 press conference, the governor once again changed his position to allow school districts that meet certain standards to go fully virtual. “Jamesburg will be filing a plan … that we hope will allow us to open schools on a fully virtual platform for the month of September,” Filippone said in the statement. “This will allow our district to meet all of the standards set forth in the reopening plan and to train our teachers in all of the safety and online teaching protocols we have developed.” (Continued on page 12)

ay goodbye to the centuries-old title of freeholder in New Jersey county government. Democratic Gov. Phil Murphy has signed Senate bill 855 into law and the legislation requires the title of “chosen freeholder” to be changed to “county commissioner” and all “boards of chosen freeholders” to be known as “boards of county commissioners,” according to a press release from Murphy’s office. The law also requires county governments to update their letterheads, stationary and other writings, as well as their websites, to bear the title of county commissioners in place of freeholders or chosen freeholders within one year of the bill’s effective date, Jan. 1, 2021. The law does not require counties to update or replace signs or other writings to reflect this title change within the specified timeframe if doing so would require the expenditure of county funds, according to the press release. In those cases, the title would be changed whenever the writing is next updated or replaced in the ordinary course of business. “We have an obligation to ensure that governance in New Jersey is inclusive and representative of the tremendous diversity of our great state,” Murphy said. “Amid a national reckoning to re-examine vestiges rooted in structural racism, this action will eliminate the use of the term ‘freeholder’ in county government – a title that is an outgrowth of a time when people of color and women were excluded from public office.” In a statement issued on Aug. 24, the Middlesex County Board of Chosen Freeholders, all five of whom are Democrats, said, “We are pleased to see the Governor and the Legislature take action to retire the title of ‘chosen freeholder.’ “This term dates back to an era in which people of color, women and those without financial means were not treated as equals – and is not representative of the ideals which we all aspire to today. “We are pleased to see this title be (Continued on page 16)

Milltown school officials ask to begin Monroe school district requests virtual learning through Nov. 13 school year with all-remote instruction By KATHY CHANG Staff Writer

he Monroe Township School District has requested to begin the 2020-21 school year all remote through the first marking period, which ends Nov. 13. Schools Superintendent Dori Alvich shared the request in a letter to parents and guardians on Aug. 20. “I know that having students receive full-time instruction at home will create a burden for our families,” she said. “But from the beginning of this crisis, my No. 1 goal has been for the safety of our students

and staff. I believe the fully virtual option for the beginning of the school year is our safest option. ... “The schools will be sharing specific information about class placements and what a virtual day will look like,” Alvich said. “There will be clear expectations for students and staff for all learning during the virtual and hybrid models. The first day of school for students will remain Sept. 3, but Sept. 3 and 4 will be four-hour sessions for students with in-service time for teachers in the afternoons.

South River to require annual inspections for rental properties By VASHTI HARRIS Staff Writer

SOUTH RIVER – The Borough Council adopted an ordinance amending the municipal code to require that an annual inspection be conducted at any landlords’ rental properties. “[This ordinance] requires landlords to have an annual inspection of their rental properties to ensure the properties comply with the borough’s property maintenance code. After a successful inspection, the borough will issue a rental certificate of occupancy which will be valid for one year,” Borough Administrator Art Londensky said. The construction official will prepare appropriate application forms for the rental certificate of occupancy and will make those forms available in the Construction office, according to the council. These forms will be requested and completed by the owner, agent, broker or other individuals of the rental properties, inspections arranged for, completed and certificate granted annually, according to the council. The council adopted the ordinance on

Aug. 24 during the council meeting via video conference. “Since the removal of the requirement that landlords receive a Certificate of Continued Occupancy after every change in tenancy, the borough has received complaints that many rental properties have fallen into disarray and various landlords have stopped maintaining their rental properties,” Londensky said. “Therefore, the council adopted the ordinance to hold landlords accountable in maintaining their properties.” Londensky said the ordinance protects the tenants of these properties and the public by ensuring the properties are properly maintained pursuant to the borough’s property maintenance code. In related news, the council also adopted an ordinance amending the municipal code to require that landlords must pay a $100 reinspection fee. For a certificate of occupancy, certificate of continuing occupancy or rental certificate of occupancy, for all residential and commercial structures, the fee will be $100. If an inspection is required, there

Fall allergies are upon us; take steps to ease symptoms By Philip Pasternak, M.D.

hey’re back. … With rising counts of mold spores and ragweed pollen, so ushers in the sneezing, coughing and sinus congestion of fall allergies. An estimated 35 million Americans suffer from seasonal allergic rhinitis, more com-

monly known as hay fever. The biggest fall allergy trigger is ragweed pollen. These are tiny grains released into the air by trees, grasses and weeds for the purpose of fertilizing other plants. When pollen grains get into the nose and eyes of someone who is allergic, they send the immune system into

overdrive. The immune system, mistakenly seeing the pollen as foreign invaders, releases antibodies that bind to the allergens and leads to the release of inflammatory molecules including histamine and leukotrienes. These chemicals trigger the runny nose, sneezing, itchy watery eyes, and

scratchy throat, which typify hay fever. Allergy sufferers will often feel stuffed up, congested and headache-y. Allergic rhinitis related to pollen occurs most commonly in the spring and late summer, the times of year when allergenic plants produce most of their pollen. There is a very predictable pattern to the pollen release: In the first week of spring, trees like elm, maple and birch release their pollen, followed by the ash, sycamore and oak; later in the spring and early summer, grass pollens spread into the air, often starting in early May and lasting through mid-July. Various weeds can begin to pollinate in spring (such as sage) or summer (such as plantain). However, the dominant weeds (for example, ragweed) often produce their allergens in the late summer to fall, a process that may continue until the first frost. Pollen can travel for miles, spreading a path of misery for allergy sufferers along the way. The higher the pollen count, the greater the misery. As a general rule sunny, windy days correlate with higher pollen counts as compared to damp, rainy days where the pollen counts drop because the allergens are washed away. In addition to seasonal allergic rhinitis, many individuals may also suffer from perennial allergic rhinitis, which are indoor allergies. These include allergies to dust mites, and cat and dog dander. Molds t are both indoor and outdoor allergens. Mold spores tend to rise in damp, humid c weather and they are prominent in the fall s y with decaying leaves. The treatment of allergies involves a w three-pronged approach. Prevention mea- t sures should be instituted. This is easier m for indoor allergies such as dusting and vacuuming frequently for dust mite con- s trol as well as eliminating carpets and pets c a from the bedroom. Pollen and outdoor s mold spores cannot be avoided. Limit your time outdoors when pollen t counts are high. Exercise where and when s pollens are least likely to affect you. Don’tl t exercise in parks where pollen-bearing m trees and grass are prevalent. The best days for exercise are those that are over- n cast and free of winds. Keep the windows t in your home shut to prevent pollen and s mold spores from drifting in. If you have b been outdoors, shower and wash your hair G before going to sleep. Pollen gets trapped in your hair and on your skin when you c a are outdoors. Medications play an important role in p

The danger of obesity and coronavirus By Ken Freedman, DC

esearchers know that obesity is bad for your health. Obesity is associated with increased risks of cancers of the esophagus, breast (postmenopausal), endometrium (the lining of the uterus), colon and rectum, kidney, pancreas, thyroid, gallbladder, and possibly other cancer types. Obese people are also at a higher risk of developing coronary heart disease, stroke, high blood pressure, diabetes and numerous other chronic diseases. We now have another compelling reason to slim down. Being obese makes you more susceptible to a coronavirus infection and it also makes it much harder to recover from it. On the July 31 segment of Real Time With Bill Maher on HBO, host Bill Maher quoted Health Officials in Huntington, New York, “who told the entire town of 200,000 to go on a diet, because as the head of the program put it, with COVID-19 you’re twice as likely to have a poor outcome if you are obese. Actually, it’s worse than that. Public Health England found that people with a body mass index of 35-40 have a 40% greater risk of dying from COVID – and over 40, its a 90% greater risk. Even being mildly

the control of allergy symptoms. These include antihistamines, decongestants, nasal sprays and allergy eye drops. Even though you can buy many of these allergy drugs without a prescription, it’s a good idea to talk to your doctor first to make sure these medications are right and safe for you. If medications are not sufficient to restore health, the allergic symptoms may be controlled or eliminated with immunotherapy, better known as allergy shots. Allergy shots have been used since 1911.This time-tested therapy decreases a person’s sensitivity by introducing increasingly larger doses of the substances to which that person is allergic. The treatment is a method for increasing the allergic person’s natural resistance to the things that are triggering the allergic reactions. There are several exciting therapies in the pipeline, but you don’t have to wait for the future. Get tested. Get treated. Get better. Dr. Philip Pasternak, M.D., is a board certified allergist, and assistant professor at Robert Wood Johnson University Hospital Department of Allergy and Immunology.

obese makes it five times more likely that catching the virus will land you in the ICU. And now, people are gaining more weight—they are calling it the Quarantine 15.” “I don’t think it’s a coincidence that the countries with the lowest rates of obesity have had the fewest COVID deaths. Maybe China isn’t hiding all their COVID deaths. Maybe their secret is that their obesity rate is 6%, and ours is 42.” The scientific truth is that if you are overweight or obese, losing weight and eating healthier can help improve your resistance to viral infection, and improve

Back To School backpack safety By Dr. Leonard J. Somarriba, DPT Co-CEO ProFysio Physical Therapy his time of year our doctors of physical therapy spend a lot of time educating parents about the importance of backpack safety for our children as they return to school. But, this year is a little different. Due to the COVID pandemic, some schools are requiring our children to bring more supplies to and from school then they ever have in previous years. Your child may be packing

lunch, computers, text books, workbooks, and more. It is critical that they pack their

packs intelligently so as to not stress the spine and other joints. Use a pack that has two straps and rests on the back if possible. Make sure your child uses both straps of the pack. This helps to more evenly distribute the load across both shoulders and the trunk. Using one strap, especially with this year’s increased load, can lead to unhealthy and potentially painful muscle imbalances. Positioning of the backpack on the body is also important. Visually inspect how the backpack sits on your child’s body. The straps should be of equal length so the backpack rests evenly in the middle of the mid back. Adjust accordingly. Shoulder straps should be loose enough to put on and take off the backpack without difficulty, and allow free movement of the arms. But the straps should not be so loose that the backpack extends below the low back, or rest on the buttocks. Packs with

waist and chest straps are recommended and should be fastened. This keeps the load close to the body and reduces strain on the spine and musculature. Also, some packs are made with padding which can be more comfortable but keep in mind breathability is a concern as well. Most of our children will be returning to school in warm temperatures and maintaining proper body temperature is important to avoid overheating. Organize the pack so the heaviest items are closest to the body. Also, you may want to consider last year’s pack size and whether or not it is made to support the increased load this year. Remember, if your child is having pain while carrying their pack or doing any other activity you should consult with your doctor of physical therapy for an evaluation.

HOW DO YOU KNOW IF YOU HAVE NERVE DAMAGE?

Peripheral neuropathy is the consequence of damage to your peripheral nerves. There are over 100 different kinds of peripheral nerve disorders or neuropathies - some are the result of a disease like diabetes, while others can be triggered by a viral infection. Still others are the result of an injury or compression on the nerves. No matter where the problems begin, it is imperative nerve disorders are resolved as soon as possible to prevent permanent damage. Many people suffer with pain for years, not realizing that their symptoms may be due to Peripheral Neuropathy. Symptoms start gradually, then get worse including numbness, burning, or tingling sensations and sharp, electrical-like pain. Treatment options have been limited to a small assortment of pain medications, which can lead to further issues. Ignoring the problem or masking the symptoms has never been a viable solution. If you suffer from any of the aforementioned symptoms, we can help.

In-person career classes, remote academic classes on three MCVTS campuses

s more and more New Jersey public school districts opt to return to remote learning for the fall term, the Middlesex County Vocational and Technical Schools have decided to institute a different kind of hybrid plan – remote learning for academic courses and in-person classes for career and technical education. When school reopens Sept. 3, students on the East Brunswick, Perth Amboy and Piscataway campuses will receive in-person instruction for their career-major and physical education classes and will be online for their academic classes, such as English, history and math, according to information provided by the school district. Students at the Middlesex County Academy for Science, Mathematics and Engineering Technologies in Edison and the Middlesex County Academy for Al-

lied Health and Biomedical Sciences in Woodbridge will either receive in-person or virtual instruction, depending on their parents’ preference. The district had planned to have all students attend classes in person at 50% capacity, divided by alphabetical order, alternating between two and three days of in-person instruction per week, with the remaining days online, according to the statement. Superintendent of Schools Dianne D. Veilleux explained that the thinking began to change in mid-August as Gov. Phil Murphy offered parents the option of choosing all-remote learning. Surveys undertaken by MCVTS principals found that 30-60% of parents would choose remote learning. “We just don’t have enough teachers to

cover all the bases,” Veilleux said in the statement. “When the principals tried to cover all the classes, it became more and more difficult. We can give the students, in effect, their full in-person career-major instruction. Our kids are experiential learners – that’s where they excel.” MCVTS offers 34 career majors, including such subjects as advanced manufacturing, engineering, building services, health careers, graphic arts, automotive technology, cosmetology, baking and culinary arts, dance, music and theater. The students will be divided by class with each group alternating between two and three days of shop classes a week. The school day will be from 8:30 a.m. to 3:30 p.m., with staggered dismissals to promote social distancing, according to the statement.

BULLETIN BOARD

The East Brunswick Public Library is hosting the “Path to 2020 Elections” program series to explore the election process. Carlos L. Yordan presents :Can Social Media Help Us Explain Different Political Events?” at 7 p.m. Sept. 9. In this talk, Yordan explores how social media postings on different platforms to get a better sense of people’s reactions to various political events. Examples include how Facebook engagement data explains BREXIT and the 2016 presidential election; Twitter data that explores people’s sentiments in regards to terrorist attacks; and how political candidates’ social media activity impacts their popularity and the relevance of their ideas. The library will celebrate National Voter Registration Day from 2-5:30 p.m. Sept. 22 at the library’s outdoor “Library In The Park Tent.” Visitors can register to vote by paper or view the New Jersey Department of Elections website, find information about in-person voting places and secure drop boxes, and additional voter resources.

Monroe will use an Argo, an amphibious all-terrain vehicle, to help clean up litter.

Amphibious vehicle will collect litter in Monroe MONROE - On a humid morning in mid-August, members of the Monroe Department of Public Works awoke to their first challenge of the day: the wind had swept a trampoline into a neighborhood retention pond, according to information provided by the township. Normally, such a rescue mission would take some planning and a couple of hours of work to safely fish it out. But this task was not a challenge, as Monroe DPW workers rolled out, for the very first time, its brand-new amphibious all-terrain vehicle, according to the statement. Known as an Argo, the vehicle can drive into a pond or stream, where it then floats as a boat. Monroe officials purchased the $29,000 vehicle, equipped with a trailer and other accessories, through state Clean Communities grants. “Our DPW crews work hard every day to keep Monroe Township roadways, open space, facilities and now streams and waterways in tip-top shape,” Mayor Gerald W. Tamburro said in the statement. “Through organizations like the New Jersey Clean Communities Council, we can provide the appropriate specialty tools to get the job done without using taxpayer dollars.” Joe Slomian, the township’s recycling coordinator, said the Argo will be a centerpiece of efforts to clean up litter in approximately 15 miles of waterways, including the Manalapan Brook and the Matchaponix Brook. “There is a huge need for more attention to be given to these waterways,” Slomian (Continued on page 18)

Learning (Continued from page 1)

Filippone said he knows that having students receiving full-time instruction at home will create a burden for many parents, but from the beginning of the district’s planning, providing a safe and healthy environment for students and staff was the district’s first priority. In an unanimous vote, the board approved a resolution to authorize that the school district will use a fully remote/virtual learning model until Nov. 1. An important fact that parents should understand, Filippone said, is that the state

is still in stage two of its reopening plan, which indicates that stage three is the point at which that higher education may operate in person with reduced capacity. “So, asking us to bring students into our building at this point is actually in contradiction to the state’s plan for reopening the experiences of educational organizations throughout the country,” Filippone said. At this point in time, Filippone said more than 90% of the school districts in Middlesex County are requesting a virtual/ remote opening. One of the reasons why the district needs more time, Filippone said, is due to the school buildings being old. “In order to meet the guidelines, we

September 2, 2020S

need to upgrade some parts of our ventilation systems and most of what we need to do is upgrade the filters in our unit ventilators in classrooms, in newer spaces like our gymnasiums, and in our … guest areas,” Filippone said. “Those have rooftop unit ventilators that meet the current standards for the classroom unit ventilators, some of them are significantly older than you would like. In the need to have upgraded filters, we ordered those filters in a timely fashion.” Unfortunately, Filippone said the district was told by a company that is providing the filters that they’re hoping to have them delivered for the middle of September, but they can’t promise the district that.

“We’ve really been working very diligently to find alternative ways to do that and what we found is a proved spray believe it or not, that you can spray on to Merv-8 or Merv-10 filters that we can get and they increase the ability to turn and basically turn those filters or 13,” Filippone said. “The difference between a Merv-10 and number 13 is that the Merv-13 filter out bacteria and virus. So, they’re pretty important.” Although the district has enough personal protective equipment (PPE), Filippone said the district wants to stockpile more PPE for its staff and students. “Right now we have enough sanitizer wipes and masks to go around for all of our students and staff for the month of September, but in the same vein, we have been told by our suppliers not to expect the shipments in October, because there is such a shortage of those items,” Filippone said. “So, we want to be able to start school with enough of that PPE for students so that we can sustain school once we get opened up.” Filippone said the district would like more time to better training its staff in terms of handling safety protocols. “So our plan moving forward is that our phase one will be a reevaluation of our ability to meet all safety requirements. We want to survey parents as to which option, hybrid [or] virtual, they’d like to choose at that point, message out cohorts and schedules. We want to start that process in October. There’s a lot of work to be done there.” Filippone said the district will base phase two of its reopening plan on its progress and with input from all school and health professionals, as well as, parents, students will return utilizing their true hybrid-virtual schedule hopefully on Nov. 1. “We need to do this so you, our parents, will be able to plan accordingly. If the state does not approve our request, we will begin school in the hybrid/virtual model found on our website,” Filippone said in the statement. “I know how confusing and frustrating this must be for you. The changes in schedules and programs make your planning so difficult, but understand that you are not alone; parents and teachers throughout the state are experiencing the same frustration.” One important thing, Filippone said he can tell everyone, is that the district’s school start date for students will be moved from Sept. 3 to Sept. 8. “Soon I will b able to tell you with certainty what your child’s schedule will be in September. Until then I will do my best to communicate with all community stakeholders on a regular basis,” Filippone said in the statement. “No matter how difficult, and regardless of the sacrifices we all must make, we as a school community must get this right and the board and administration here in Jamesburg will do all that we can to ensure the health and safety of our staff and students.”

EAST BRUNSWICK – Becoming the latest institution to join the East Brunswick educational community, Lightbridge Academy has opened one of its newest locations just in time for the fall. Established in 1997, Lightbridge Academy provides early education and child care to children ages six weeks through Kindergarten, as well as special programming for children up to 10 years old during school holidays, breaks and summer camp, according to information provided by the academy. Lightbridge Academy opened Aug. 17 at 168 Milltown Road in East Brunswick. Lightbridge Academy President and COO Gigi Schweikart said the company chose East Brunswick because there is a lot of revitalization, there are a lot of fun activities in the area, and the township has a very engaged and involved community of people. “It meets our community core values and that means we want to be in a community where we have something called

the ‘circle of care,’ where we want to make sure we’re taking care of the parent, we’re taking care of the child … the staff members, the owners and the community. “Secondly, although there are other centers there, East Brunswick still has lots of children there in that area. So a very fruitful community and we wanted to be a part of that as well,” she said. At its newest location, Schweikart said the academy can facilitate about 180 children during summertime and holiday break from school, school-aged children for summer camp and/or when other schools are not open and children can come to the facility. “In fact, right now because it’s a bit erratic with what’s happening with the public school system, we’re going to be offering support for families to bring their schoolaged children to us and help them go through that virtual day to do their work,” Schweikart said,” so that those parents who are working from home have the opportunity to get their work done as their children do their schoolwork.”

Unlike public schools, Schweikart said all Lightbridge Academy facilities stay open year-round. All staff are trained in CPR and first aid. With state-mandated school social distancing and health safety standards continuing to change due to the COVID-19 crisis, Schweikart said the academy’s intention is to be in person 100% of the time unless something changes with the government. “Many of our centers were open for essential workers during that time,” Schweikart said. “In serving those who are most vulnerable, like those who are working in the hospital, on the front lines, who are working in grocery stores and other places, we did not have any issue …” Being in industry that serves young children, Schweikart said the academy has always been very concerned about contagion, sanitation and cleanliness. “We’ve been washing hands, checking temperatures, sanitizing toys and doing deep cleaning throughout the day and every night, always before COVID-19. So, that’s just what we do and we do it really well,” Schweikart said. “Now we just have extra eyes on that, we’re limiting their group sizes, and obviously keeping the same teachers with the same children. So those types of things are really helping us to be safe and available.

“We have an air scrubber filtration system that we installed [and] is being installed in the majority of our centers, and will be installed in all of our centers eventually. That actually is cleaning the air, which I think is is really important,” Schweikart said. “Everyone’s getting a temperature check before they come in. No one is allowed in the center unless it’s a staff member or a child.” Knowing that many parents may find it difficult not being able to enter the center, Schweikart said the academy has created a program called Parent View where parents can observe from any device on cameras and see what’s going on in their child’s classroom at any time. “I can tell you it is so amazing, it’s amazing that grandparents can tune in … to see their grandchildren if they’re across the country. We had a grandfather one time who called the home office to let us know his grandson’s shoe was untied,” Schweikart said. “We were able to find the center and take care of that. It really helps us see the parents be the eyes and ears of the center as well so that we can always monitor to make sure it’s safe.” For more information about Lightbridge Academy, visit www.LightbridgeAcademy.com or call 732-980-1900, ext. 199.

IMPROVEYOUR LAWN THIS FALL! We Can Help By Aerating & Overseeding!

Compacted soil and heavy thatch are the two biggest obstacles to a beautiful lawn.They tend to suffocate grass plants by preventing air, water, and nutrients from reaching the root zone.This means your lawn looks less than satisfactory in spite of adequate fertilization, water, and tender loving care! Aeration opens up the thatch and helps relieve compaction. It should be a regular part of your annual lawn maintenance program. Aeration is accomplished by the use of a machine equipped with cylinder-like spoons designed to penetrate and shatter the soil. Half inch diameter plugs of thatch and soil are actually pulled from the ground during this process.The plunging action of the spoons into the ground opens up the soil-allowing the grass plants to breathe and promoting deeper, healthier roots.

Major benefits of aeration...

• Increases air, water, and nutrient movement to the root zone • Intensifies decomposition of thatch • Helps relieve soil compaction • Stimulates new growth • Improves drainage • Provides a better environment for overseeding • Increases the effectiveness of applied fertifizers & control products • Incorporates organic matter into the soil • Increases tolerance to heat and cold

of Rutgers University, which is the largest institution of higher education in New Jersey. “With that being said, the changing of the title of freeholder does not bother me nearly as much as the legislative effort that was put in during a time of financial distress, (with ongoing) health and safety concerns, and state operations being in disarray. “In closing, I can only speak on behalf of the Monmouth County Board of Chosen Freeholders and whatever name we are called, we will continue to be leaders in the state in what we call good government,” Arnone said. “The decision to change the word freeholder to county commissioner is long awaited,” said Sen. Vin Gopal (D-Monmouth). “In Monmouth County, where we have towns like Freehold Borough, Freehold Township and Upper Freehold, not only will changing this title avoid confusion and increase voter participation, it will tell women and our communities of color that New Jersey does not associate itself in any way with these archaic values of the past. This is a proud day in our history.” “The term freeholder is outdated and it’s offensive to women and minorities,” Assembly Speaker Craig Coughlin (DMiddlesex) said. “The term dates back to

September 2, 2020S

a time before the Revolutionary War when only white male owners of debt-free land were allowed to hold public office. New Jersey is the only state in the country that still uses the term freeholder. It is long pastM time that we right this wrong and changet M the title to commissioner.” State Sen. Joe Pennacchio (R-Essex,a Morris, Passaic) said, “As a former free-g holder, I believe it is important that theh public knows the substance of what a free-c holder does rather than what the term freeI holder is. “Today’s action was nine years in thew making from when I initially proposed thew abolishment of the antiquated term. Theo title ‘county commissioner’ will lend itselft to transparency. This revamp will ensures more Garden State residents better understanding the function of this important position in county government,” Pennacchio said. The press release issued by the governor’s office quoted Jonathan Holloway, the new president of Rutgers University, saying, “This is not about the people who serve as freeholders, but rather the title. The title freeholder has a legacy that grows out of denying people access and the right to have a voice. Our present day should simply not look like that.”

Dorothy Margaret Klesitz (Sipos) was born on August 22, 1930 in New Brunswick, NJ. She grew up in North Brunswick with her sister, Lillian (1928-2019), and parents, Grace and Charles. She graduated from New Brunswick High School in 1948. Dorothy married Edward Ernest Klesitz on June 25, 1950 with whom she was happily married for 45 years, until his death in 1996. They had four children; Jill Rice (husband, Andrew), Edward Klesitz (wife, Laurie), who reside in NJ, Donna Zaabadick (husband, John) of CO, and Pamela Luersen (husband, Robert) of FL. Dorothy had 10 beloved grandchildren, Dawn, Amy, Johnny, Jenny, James, Edward, Danielle, Samantha, Juliet, and Emily, and 11 beloved great grandchildren, John, Lilly, Casey, Jersey, Eli, Brooke, Edward, Jacob, Madison, Van, and Reese. Called Dot by friends and Mom or Gram by family, Dorothy lived in Milltown all of her adult life until recently when she was in the care of her youngest daughter, Jill. Dot was a very loving, kind, and generous person who never knew a stranger. All were welcome to her home with open arms. Her main joy in life was having her family to her home for any occasion to share great meals and great times together. Especially remembered are the fun Easter egg hunts she planned each year for children, grandchildren, and great-grands, delicious chicken paprikash dinners she cooked from scratch, and trips to the Ice Cream Depot. Dot’s faith was a very important part of her life. She was an active member and elder of St. Paul’s United Church of Christ in Milltown. She was Milltown’s ﬁrst female crossing guard, past President of the Milltown Fire Department Ladies Auxiliary, and a lifetime member of the NJ State Auxiliary. Some of her many interests included being an excellent league bowler, playing cards with the neighbors and grandchildren, gathering monthly with her “Club Ladies”, crafting, gardening, bird watching, playing bingo, watching any and all sports, traveling out to Colorado and Oregon, and summer vacations at the Jersey Shore. Also notable was Dot’s impressive ﬁnesse in managing the household, being a handywoman around the house, and always requesting a corner slice of cake. “Happiness is!” Gram, you are so loved and will be very missed! Donations in Dorothy’s name can be sent to St. Paul’s Church or the Milltown Fire Department. NM-00438352

O Glorious St. Therese, whom Almighty God has raised up to aid and inspire the human family, I implore your Miraculous Intercession. You are so powerful in obtaining every need of body and spirit from the Heart of God. Holy Mother Church proclaims you â&#x20AC;&#x153;Prodigy of Miracles... the Greatest Saint of Modern Times.â&#x20AC;? Now I fervently beseech you to answer my petition (mention here) and to carry out your promises of spending Heaven doing good upon earth... Of letting fall from Heaven a Shower of Roses. Little Flower, give me your childlike faith, to see the Face of God in the people and experiences of my life, and to love God with full confidence. St. Therese, my Carmelite Sister, I will fulfill your plea â&#x20AC;&#x153;to be made known everywhereâ&#x20AC;? and I will continue to lead others to Jesus through you. Amen.

PRAYER IS POWERFUL

Prayer to St. Jude

St. Therese Novena

Oh, most beautiful flower of Mount Carmel, fruitful vine of splendor of Heaven, Blessed Mother of the son of God, Immaculate Virgin, assist me in my necessity. Oh, Star of the Sea, help me and show me herein you are my Mother. Oh, Holy Mary Mother of God, Queen of Heaven and Earth! I humbly beseech you from the bottom of my heart to succor me in this petition. There are none that can withstand your power. Oh, show me herein you are my Mother. Oh Mary conceived without sin pray for us who have recourse in thee (3Xs). Holy Mother, I place this cause in your hands (3Xs). Holy Spirit, you who solve all problems, light all roads so I can attain my goal. You who gave me the divine gift to forgive and forget all evil against me and that in all instances in my life you are with me, I want in this short prayer to thank you for all things as you confirm once again that I never want to be separated from you in eternal glory. Thank you for your mercy towards me and mine. + Say this prayer 3 consecutive days and publish prayer after petition is granted. Do not despair. Additional advice and petition. Pray the Rosary regularly.

Most holy Apostle St. Jude, faithful servant and friend of Jesus the name of the traitor who delivered the beloved Master into the hands of His enemies, has caused you to be forgotten by many but the Church honors and prays to you universally as the patron of hopeless cases, of things despaired of. Pray for me who am so miserable; make use I implore you of that particular privilege accorded to you to bring visible and speedy help, where help is almost despaired of. Come to my assistance in this great need that I may receive the consolations and help of Heaven in all my necessities, tribulations and sufferings particularly (here make your request) and that I may bless God with you and all the elect forever. I PROMISE you, blessed St. Jude to be ever mindful of this great favor and I will never cease to honor you as my special and powerful patron and to do all in my power to encourage devotion to you. Amen. May the most just, most high and most adorable Will of God be in all things done, praised and magnified, forever and ever. Amen.

O little Therese of the Child Jesus, please pick for me a rose from the heavenly gardens and send it to me as a message of love. O little Flower of Jesus, ask God today to grant the favors I now place with confidence in your hands.. (mention specific requests) St. Therese, help me to always believe as you did, in Godâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s great love for me, so that I might imitate your â&#x20AC;&#x153;Little Wayâ&#x20AC;? each day. Amen.
