he Monmouth County Board of Freeholders has passed a resolution which urges members of New Jersey’s Legislature to allow counties and municipalities to regulate the sale and use of marijuana within their borders. The freeholders took the action during a meeting on Nov. 24. The county’s governing body acted as state Senators and Assembly members are considering the passage of enabling legislation that will permit the use of recreational marijuana in New Jersey. Recreational marijuana is also referred to as adult use marijuana. In their resolution, which will be forwarded to Gov. Phil Murphy and other state officials, the freeholders noted that in the Nov. 3 general election, New Jersey voters approved an amendment to the State Constitution legalizing marijuana. The constitutional amendment will permit the possession and use of marijuana for persons age 21 and older and legalizes the cultivation, processing and sale of retail marijuana. However, before any of that can happen, Senate and Assembly members must
pass enabling legislation, which must be signed into law by the governor, to set the parameters around the sale, purchase and use of marijuana. In comments made prior to the board’s passage of the resolution, Freeholder Director Thomas Arnone said it is “mindboggling” that state officials put a public question on the Election Day ballot with so many unknown aspects of how adult use marijuana will be implemented. Since the passage of the public question, members of the Legislature have not been able to come to an agreement on the enabling legislation. The freeholders went on to state that “local leaders, who know their communities better than most, should be entrusted to make decisions within their own jurisdictions” and that “the legalization of marijuana may lead to unintended consequences that can strain local law enforcement resources and municipal and county budgets.” The freeholders urged state legislators “in their consideration of enabling legislation concerning the legalization of marijuana, to preserve the ability of municipal and county officials to regulate recreational marijuana use within their borders.”
“The legalization of marijuana may lead to unintended consequences that can strain local law enforcement resources and municipal and county budgets.” — Monmouth County freeholders resolution

Environmental justice: Clean and green in every community
G
rowing up in Camden, Olivia Carpenter Glenn suffered from asthma and allergies. She was not alone; many of her family members, friends and neighbors also had respiratory ailments, a result of breathing the polluted air in their industrial city. Respiratory health issues were so common in Camden that Olivia gave them little thought until her freshman year at Dartmouth College in New Hampshire. “That first fall, being around such fresh air, and just seeing the beauty of the White Mountains of New Hampshire and the Green Mountains of Vermont, really made me start to ask a lot of questions,” she recalled. “Why is this beauty here and it’s not where I’m from? Why do I have persistent respiratory issues when I’m home, but when I’m here I don’t have them?” she said. That was the beginning of Olivia’s awareness of environmental justice, a major influence in her decision to major in environmental studies. Environmental justice is defined as the fair treatment and meaningful involvement of all people and communities – regardless of race, color, national origin or income – in the development, implementation and enforcement of environmental laws, regulations and policies. The environmental justice movement emerged in the 1980s and has been gaining momentum in recent years. Now Olivia is in a position to deliver environmental justice for communities like her hometown, places overburdened with pollution and polluters. In July, Olivia was appointed deputy commissioner of the New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection (DEP),
in charge of advancing the state’s environ- cilities, large recycling facilities, and scrap mental justice and equity efforts in commu- metal facilities. nities that are disproportionately impacted Overburdened communities are defined by pollution and are known to have dirtier as those where 35% of the households air and more public health issues than other qualify as low income, or 40% of houseparts of New Jersey. holds are minority, or 40% of households As of September, this state we’re in have limited English proficiency. has a powerful new tool: a historic enviAccording to the state, there are approxronmental justice law aimed at ending the imately 310 municipalities, with populaenvironmental health disparities between tions totaling nearly 4.5 million residents, New Jersey’s urban, industrial and low in- that have overburdened communities withcome areas, and its wealthier suburbs and in their borders. rural communities.

Assemblyman McKeon, DEP Commissioner Catherine McCabe, Olivia Glenn, the New Jersey Environmental Justice Alliance, Clean Water Action and scores of environmental justice advocates who have worked so hard to bring about this sorely needed change. It is only fair that officials reviewing applications for new facilities like incinerators and landfills should consider the community’s current environmental quality. For too long, decisions like these were made in a vacuum, as if the existing sources of pollution did not count. “It does feel really good to be a part of something this historic, but what stays on the forefront of my mind is that it’s needful,” commented Olivia. “When we think about the communities we are serving, who for a long time have been waiting for us to get to this point, they need this. I am mindful of the work of wanting to make these changes happen. I am happy, but I feel like I have to push my sleeves up.” In addition to the environmental justice law, New Jersey is also advancing new environmental justice guidance to executive agencies in state government, under the direction of an executive order from Gov. Murphy. For Olivia, the implications of New Jersey’s environmental justice leadership work go beyond the Garden State. “We are taking bold steps on behalf of environmental justice communities nationwide,” she says. “We hope this empowers leaders and advocates everywhere to better protect some of our most vulnerable neighbors.”
Michele S.Byers is the executive director of the New Jersey Conservation Foundation, Far Hills.
‘Daniel’s Law’ will protect privacy of judges, law enforcement personnel Gov. Phil Murphy has signed legislation into law which will protect the home addresses and telephone numbers of judges, prosecutors and law enforcement officers from public disclosure. The bill, known as “Daniel’s Law,” is named in honor of Daniel Anderl, the late son of U.S. District Court Judge Esther Salas. Anderl was killed by an individual who
had compiled a dossier of personal information about Salas, including the judge’s home address in Middlesex County, according to information provided by the governor’s office. “This is a renewed commitment to ensure that our judiciary, prosecutors and members of law enforcement who answer the call of justice can do so without fear for

concrete action,” the governor said. “My husband, Mark, and I would like to thank Gov. Murphy and all the men and women of the New Jersey State Legislature for enacting this trailblazing legislation,” Salas was quoted as saying in the statement.

Princeton resident reunites with fellow Mouseketeers to record album (Continued from page 1)
The album was released on Nov. 27. The group is donating a portion of the gross proceeds to two organizations that support individuals who have been extremely affected by COVID-19. MusiCares provides critical assistance to members of the music community in times of need. The Brave of Heart Fund provides much needed financial support to the families of frontline healthcare workers and volunteers who lost their lives due to COVID-19. “Music has such a unique ability to heal and unify us, and we are so grateful for our position to continue to support music creators and professionals in these uncertain times. The direct impact we have been able to make on our music community during the pandemic would not be possible without the generosity of partners like Always In The Club,” said Laura Segura, executive director of MusiCares. “We are grateful to Always in the Club for its efforts to raise awareness for the Brave of Heart Fund,” said Holly Welch Stubbing, president and CEO of E4E Relief. “Contributions like this one will allow the fund to support even more families of fallen healthcare workers during the COVID-19 pandemic as they navigate their unimaginable losses.” In addition to Alley, the singers are Rhona Bennett, Deedee Magno Hall, Tony Lucca, Nikki DeLoach, Dale Godboldo, Chasen Hampton, Tasha Danner, David Kater, Jason “Blain” Carson, Jennifer McGill, Mylin Brooks-Stoddard, Raquel “Roque” Herring, Nita Young, Jason Minor, TJ Fantini and Marc Worden. Alley moved to Princeton in mid-2019 with her husband and young son. They had moved to Brooklyn, N.Y., from Los Angeles in 2018 and after living in a basement apartment for nearly a year, decided they needed a bit more space, she said in an interview with Newspaper Media Group/ Packet Media LLC. “We looked at a lot of towns in New
Jersey and New York, but Princeton just felt ‘right’ to us. And we also found the perfect house, so it all made sense. We hadn’t been here too long before COVID hit, but it still gave us plenty of time to find our favorite spots and meet some great new friends,” she said. Alley said she watched a lot of movie musicals as a child and remembers saying to her mother, “I can do that,” she recalled. “She took me to an audition for ‘The Sound of Music’ at a dinner theater in my hometown of Lakeland, Fla. I landed the role of Gretl and I have been working in the theater ever since,” she said. Reflecting on her days as a Mouseketeer, she said, “Doing what I loved to do with such wonderfully talented people was pure joy. And there’s just no way of paying for that kind of learning experience, you know?” Alley has starred on stage in “First Wives Club, The Musical,” and in TV shows, movies and theatrical productions. She has had roles in “How I Met Your Mother,” “Lethal Weapon” and in her critically acclaimed one-woman show, “Blood, Sweat & Mouseketears!” on Broadway. “Choosing a favorite project is impossible. Every project I have been inv olved in has been a gift in one way or another. Don’t get me wrong, I’ve done some bad shows. But I would classify those as learning experiences. “If I had to play favorites, I would say ‘The Mickey Mouse Club’ has had the most profound impact on my life. Learning to river dance for a role in ‘Legally Blonde’ was the hardest thing I have ever done. And doing my one-woman show, ‘Blood, Sweat and Mouseketeers’ is the most cathartic ongoing process,” she said. Alley is currently working on a new club act-one-woman show called “After Ever After.” “It’s mostly about being a mom. About marriage and family and friends. Juggling real life with my show business hopes and dreams. I obviously need a better elevator pitch, but that, too, is a work in progress.
I’m hoping to bring something to a local stage when it is safe to be back indoors,” she said. That being said, COVID definitely affected the recording process of “Why? Because It’s Christmas.” “The process was pretty hilarious. I had never recorded anything from home before, so there was a lot of trial and error. Lots of starts and stops. “I started recording in a refrigerator box that we saved for our son’s playroom ... but my vocals were ultimately drowned out by a family of very loud crickets. “I moved my setup upstairs to a small closet and everything seemed to be going well until one of our producers asked to see my ‘studio’ via FaceTime. “I gave him a quick tour and he confirmed my sound was still off, as I had been singing into the back of the microphone. Whoops. “We got there in the end, but it was definitely a process! I am actually so grateful to have gone through everything, as I now feel like I could record my own little album
from the hall closet,” she said. Calling her fellow Mouseketeers “some of my most favorite people on the planet,” Alley said they all picked up where they left off. “To be a part of a project like this with them … during a global pandemic, and for three great charities, gave me all the feels including joy, hope and pride, to name a few. Creating this album together, yet apart, was an honor and a privilege,” she said. She was also delighted to record a Christmas album. “Christmas is my favorite time of the year. If I could start decorating in September without the neighbors raising an eyebrow, I would. “My favorite Christmas songs of all time are Nat King Cole’s ‘The Christmas Song,’ Bing Crosby’s ‘I’ll Be Home Christmas’ and Judy Garland’s ‘Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas.’ “When I hear those folks singing those songs, all is right in the world. And when I have had a hard day, I immediately go to my Pandora Christmas station for a fix. Christmas music is a balm for challenging times,” she said. Alley’s Christmas memories include her dad risking his life to hang a giant star on the chimney, singing “Silent Night” at Christmas Eve church and her mom’s shoepeg corn casserole. “Christmas is my favorite. And while this year is going to be hard being away from our families, my husband and I are going to try to start some new traditions with our 3-year old son, like decorating a bit too early. “We are trying not to focus on all the things that are missing, but rather on all we have right here and right now. Because if 2020 has taught us anything, it’s that every single day counts,” she said. “Why? Because It’s Christmas” will be released by Always In The Club/M12/Universal and is available at www.MMCHolidays.com. The album will be available as a commemorative holiday CD and as a digital download.

‘Daniel’s Law’ will protect privacy
(Continued from page 3)
“We hope this law can be a steppingstone to improving the security of my sisters and brothers who serve as federal judges throughout the country. Nobody should be forced to endure the kind of pain my family has experienced ever again. “Together we can work to ensure that all members of the judiciary (federal, state and municipal courts) can perform their duties without fear of retribution or harm. Daniel used to say, ‘Mom, I love talking with you.’ “I know Daniel is listening now and he is smiling down on us today because he knows that with this bill signing, we are doing our part to ensure his death will not be in vain,â€? Salas said. The new law amends the New Jersey Open Public Records Act (OPRA) to exclude from the deďŹ nition of a government (i.e., public) record the portion of any document which discloses the home address of any active or retired judge, prosecutor or law enforcement ofďŹ cer, according to the statement. Further, the bill prohibits government agencies, individuals and businesses from knowingly publishing on the internet, or otherwise making available, the home address or unpublished home telephone number of any active or retired judge, or any active or retired prosecutor. The law also enables any active or retired judge, prosecutor or law enforcement ofďŹ cer whose home address or unpub-
lished telephone number is disclosed on the internet or otherwise made available to the public, or whose immediate family member’s name, home address, or unpublished phone number is disclosed on the internet or otherwise made available to the public, to request that the information be removed. The government agency, individual or business would be required to remove the information within 72 hours of receiving such a request in writing, according to the statement. “Daniel Anderl’s tragic death reminds us the disclosure of personal information can leave judges and family members vulnerable to threats and violence,� New Jersey Supreme Court Chief Justice Stuart Rabner was quoted as saying in the statement. “We are grateful to the governor and the Legislature for taking this important step to provide common sense protections for active and retired judges and their families, along with others in the justice system, in the hope that a future tragedy can be prevented,� Rabner said. Anderl, 20, was killed at his family’s North Brunswick home on July 19. Salas’ husband, attorney Mark Anderl, was seriously injured in the attack that was carried out by suspect Roy Den Hollander, who allegedly targeted the family because of his disdain for Salas and her role as a federal judge, according to reports. Den Hollander subsequently took his own life. Salas sits on the federal bench in the District of New Jersey, Newark.

State outlines protocols for long-term care facilities visits The New Jersey Department of Health has issued health and safety guidance for the state’s long-term care facilities, which provides measures for residents who leave the facility for a holiday gathering, including a 14-day quarantine at the conclusion of their visit. To protect the health of this vulnerable population, the department strongly recommends against families taking residents out of facilities for holiday celebration events or gatherings, according to a press release. Instead, the department recommends visitation outdoors or possibly indoors in facilities that meet the requirements for indoor visitation. Long-term care facilities should plan to accommodate increased virtual communications for residents, according to the press release. “Small family gatherings are a signiďŹ cant driver of increasing (COVID-19) cases and bringing your loved ones home could put them at risk,â€? Health Commissioner Judith Persichilli was quoted as saying in the press release. “We remain concerned about the number of outbreaks we are seeing in longterm care, so we need to be especially vigilant to protect this population. We continue to partner with the industry to improve quality and infection control in
these facilities,� she said. Long-term care facility operators need to develop a plan for holiday visits and gatherings which estimate the number of residents who can be cohorted for a 14-day quarantine period from Nov. 25 through Dec. 31, according to the press release. Long-term care facility operators should create a reservation process tied to the number of individuals the facility can quarantine on their return. Residents who leave the facility for family visits must be quarantined upon return to the facility either in their own room, if they have a private room, or in an observation room, according to the press release. A waiting list should be created once the reservation list is full. However, residents and families should be informed that residents who leave without a reservation or while on a waiting list may not be guaranteed readmittance to the facility at the end of their visit. Residents and families must certify they will follow masking, social distancing and hand hygiene practices, and that they will notify the facility’s operator if anyone who attended a holiday gathering tests positive for COVID-19 or exhibits symptoms of COVID-19 within 14 days of the resident’s visit/stay outside the facility, according to the press release.

Prayer to St. Jude Oh Holy St. Jude, Apostle and Martyr, great in virtue and rich in miracles, near Kinsman of Jesus Christ, faithful intercessor of all who invoke your special patronage in time of need, to you I have recourse from the depth of my heart and humbly beg to whom God has given such great power to come to my assistance. Help me in my present and urgent petition. In return, I promise to make your name known and cause you to be invoked. Say three Our Fathers, three Hail Marys and Glorias. Publication must be promised. St. Jude pray for us all who invoke your aid. Amen. This Novena has never been known to fail. This Novena must be said for 9 consecutive days. Thank you,
