Arnone, Kiley elected to leadership positions on Board of Commissioners By MARK ROSMAN Managing Editor

he first Monmouth County Board of County Commissioners has been seated and its members are ready to direct the fortunes of Monmouth County’s 53 municipalities and 617,000 residents in 2021 as the effects of the coronavirus pandemic continue to batter lives and businesses from Sandy Hook to Allentown. For hundreds of years, the county’s governing body was known as the Monmouth County Board of Chosen Freeholders. The historic name reflected the fact that for many years, only certain individuals could serve on the body. The name change that became effective on Jan. 1 complies with legislation Gov. Phil Murphy signed into law in 2020. 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.” Owning land is not a requirement to serve on a board of county commissioners. And so, in a reorganization meeting that was held on Jan 7 in the Collins Arena on the campus of Brookdale Community College in Lincroft, the Monmouth County Board of Chosen Freeholders passed into history and the Monmouth County Board of County Commissioners was created. In one of the new governing body’s first acts of business, Commissioner Thomas A. Arnone was elected to serve as the board’s director for 2021 and Commissioner Susan M. Kiley was elected to serve as the board’s deputy director for 2021. Arnone and Kiley are joined on the board by Lillian G. Burry, Ross Licitra and Nick DiRocco. Republicans have 5-0 control of the county’s governing body. “I would like to thank the board for ap-

pointing me to serve as the 2021 director,” Arnone said. “Last year (dealing with the coronavirus pandemic) was challenging, but I am proud of everything we accomplished here in Monmouth County and the fact that we have not taken one day off since March 9 and have remained dedicated to protecting and serving our residents and businesses. “We held conference calls every single week with all 53 mayors, met regularly with business chambers, the arts community and the many people who needed our help. We received $108 million in CARES Act funding and distributed $35 million to our businesses and nonprofits, and $25 million to our municipalities to reimburse them for COVID-19 expenses. “But our work is far from done. We will work now on the COVID-19 vaccine and continue with our testing program as we carry on our fight to end this pandemic here

in Monmouth County,” Arnone said. “I am honored the board has put their faith in me to serve as deputy director again this year,” Kiley said. “I look forward to continuing to work with Director Arnone and the entire board on behalf of our Monmouth County residents.” Prior to the selection of the board leadership, Burry was sworn in to begin her fifth three-year term in county government by state Superior Court Judge Lisa P. Thornton. Licitra was sworn in to begin serving his first three-year term as a commissioner, also by Thornton. “Having just been elected to a new three-year term, I am prepared to commit myself to making the restoration of Monmouth County my highest priority. I am convinced we can bring Monmouth County back as a stronger, more

Hanlon sworn in as Monmouth County clerk; begins second five-year term

hristine Giordano Hanlon of Ocean Township has been sworn in to begin serving her second five-year term as Monmouth County’s clerk. State Superior Court Judge Joseph W. Oxley administered the oath of office to Hanlon on Jan. 7 at Brookdale Community College, Lincroft, when Monmouth County’s government reorganized for 2021. Hanlon was re-elected in November and serves as the 29th county clerk for Monmouth County, according to the county’s Office of Public Information. “It has been the honor of my life to serve as Monmouth County clerk for the past five years and I am grateful to the residents of Monmouth County for placing confidence in me to serve a second term,” Hanlon said. The clerk’s office oversees the recording and filing of property deeds and other official documents, preparing election ballots, processing vote-by-mail applications, tabulating election totals and certifying election results to the Secretary of State, passport application processing and the Monmouth County archives, according to a press release. The office consists of five divisions with more than 65 employees who serve

the residents and customers of Monmouth County. Hanlon has launched the “Honoring Our Heroes” veterans’ discount program which encourages local businesses to offer special services to Monmouth County’s veterans, military members and Gold Star parents, according to the press release. She also spearheaded the Mobile County Connection in coordination with Sheriff Shaun Golden and Surrogate Rosemarie Peters, to bring government services throughout the county. To help combat the growing trend of property fraud, Hanlon created the free Property Fraud Alert subscription service that allows Monmouth County property owners to have their name and property monitored within the Recording Division of the County Clerk’s Office, in order to track possibly fraudulent activity. Additionally, Hanlon has created the Monmouth County Votes website and mobile app (application) to help voters, potential voters and candidates access the most up-to-date and important election information, according to the press release.

New Jersey environmental wins and losses of 2020

he year 2020 will go down in history as the year of the COVID-19 pandemic, with many lives lost, lockdowns, school and business closings, economic uncertainty and political divisions. In the midst of it all we found a silver lining as New Jerseyans embraced and enjoyed parks and green spaces. The past year this state we’re in saw encouraging progress on climate action, clean energy, environmental justice, reductions in plastic pollution, and more preserved open space and farmland. Parks and open space – It is no secret New Jerseyans love nature and open space as demonstrated by the overwhelming success of every statewide land preservation ballot question in the past 60 years. During the lockdown, people flocked to parks and preserves, proving parks and open space are vital to both mental and physical health, offering places to exercise, enjoy nature and socialize in the fresh outdoor air. In 2020, New Jersey’s dedicated land preservation funding from the Corporate Business Tax went up, providing $113 million for land acquisition, conservation, farmland preservation, recreation projects, improvements to state parks, and historic preservation grants. This funding will be supplemented by unspent funds from previous years, making more land preservation possible in 2021. At the national level, the bipartisan Great American Outdoors Act was signed into law in August with support from New Jersey’s entire Congressional delegation, providing permanent funding for the Land and Water Conservation Fund at the full authorized amount of $900 million a year. This fund is America’s most important land preservation program and in New Jersey it has supported the creation of parks, preserves, wildlife refuges and recreation areas in all 21 New Jersey counties. Climate change action – As a coastal state, New Jersey is extremely vulnerable to the impacts of climate change, including increased flooding, sea level rise, and stronger, more frequent storms.

Many of us are happy to see the end of 2020 and are looking forward to a better year. Here’s a sneak preview of some hopeful environmental initiatives. Coming up – This year, the Department of Environmental Protection will finalize its plan to restore the contaminated interior section of the state’s most popular park, Liberty State Park along the Hudson River waterfront. Numerous conservation groups are supporting the restoration plans, but threats to the park continue from backers of a neighboring private golf course that has been pressing to acquire part of the park. Two public hearings are scheduled later this month. The Department of Environmental Protection is developing regulations to implement its climate change program. New Jersey has some of the most effective regional land use protection plans in the nation, but appointments to both the Highlands Council and the Pinelands Commission have been left vacant for too long. Without these appointments, both agencies are hindered in their ability to protect the water supply for more than 75% of New Jersey residents. It is critical that Gov. Murphy’s appointments of several highly qualified individuals go forward in 2021. Here’s to goodbye and good riddance to 2020 and welcoming a healthy environment and happy citizenry in 2021!

Michele S. Byers is the executive director of the New Jersey Conservation Foundation, Far Hills. She may be reached at info@njconservation.org

Eatontown officials designate borough as stigma-free community By MATTHEW SOCKOL Staff Writer

EATONTOWN – Members of the Borough Council have passed a resolution which designates Eatontown as a stigmafree community. According to the resolution, a stigmafree community seeks to inspire public interest and to open dialogue about stigma, raise awareness of the disease of mental illness and substance use disorders, and create a culture where residents who have mental illness and/or substance use disorders feel supported by their community and feel free to seek treatment without fear of stigma. The Borough Council’s resolution states that establishing stigma-free communities will raise awareness of resources, have inclusive language and encourage

residents to engage in care so recovery can begin and tragedies are avoided. The action taken by Eatontown’s elected representatives in January followed action taken in September by Monmouth County’s governing body, which in collaboration with the Division of Behavioral Health announced the launch of the Stigma-Free Monmouth website (https://www. stigmafree-monmouth.org/) The Monmouth County Stigma-Free Action Committee initiative was developed to help spread the message for individuals who have behavioral health illnesses and substance use disorders, according to a press release from the county. The Monmouth County Stigma-Free Action Committee believes every individual deserves to be treated with respect and that everyone should be able to get help without fear, according to the press release.

Buckley elected Borough Council president in Tinton Falls for 2021 By MATTHEW SOCKOL Staff Writer

WE DID IT! $211,138,216 RAISED Capital Campaign Your giving has nurtured the mind, body and soul of countless patients. Your giving provided healing. Thank you.

TINTON FALLS – Tracy Buckley has been elected by her fellow members of the governing body to serve as president of the Borough Council in Tinton Falls for a second consecutive year. The borough’s annual reorganization meeting on Jan. 3 was held in a virtual manner due to the ongoing coronavirus pandemic. No council seats were on the ballot in the November municipal election. Buckley is joined on the council by Risa Clay, Michael Nesci, John Manginelli and Brock Siebert. As the first order of business, Buckley was elected to serve as council president during 2021. She joined the governing body in 2020 and was elected to serve as council president in her first year on the dais. Clay was elected to serve as deputy council president for 2021. She, too, joined the council in 2020 and was elected to serve as deputy council president in her first year on the dais. The municipal government in Tinton Falls is nonpartisan. Individuals who seek

the offices of mayor and Borough Council member do not run under the banner of a political party. The current terms of Manginelli and Siebert will end on Dec. 31. Mayor Vito Perillo heads the administration, but is not a voting member of the Borough Council. The mayor’s current term will end on Dec. 31. The terms currently held by Buckley, Clay and Nesci will run through Dec. 31, 2023. In other business, council members appointed Nesci as the council’s representative on the Planning Board. The appointment is for 2021. Council members appointed John Slazyk and Steven Porzio to four-year terms as regular members of the Zoning Board of Adjustment (expiring Dec. 31, 2024), William Kuzmin to fill an unexpired term as an alternate member of the zoning board (through Dec. 31, 2021), and Emily DeMaio to a two-year term as an alternate member of the zoning board (through Dec. 31, 2022). Clay was named the liaison to the Tinton Falls K-8 School District.

COMMUNITY BULLETIN BOARD United Way of Monmouth and Ocean Counties’ Fall Tee-Off, scheduled for late October at the Hollywood Golf Club, Deal, was the organization’s most successful golf outing to date. The event raised $112,000 to support the organization’s programs in the areas of education, financial stability, and heath, according to a press release. The fundraiser’s success was largely the result of a shift to an online sales platform for the event’s silent auction items and multi-prize raffle tickets, which was open to the public and not just attendees. United Way of Monmouth and Ocean Counties is scheduled to host its next an-

nual Tee-Off on May 17 at the Hollywood Golf Club.

Hoop teams practicing with hopes of playing a season

d By STEVEN BASSIN

Staff Writer

ll activity came to a crashing halt in the New Jersey high school sports world on March 12, 2020 because of the coronavirus pandemic. , The halt in competition occurred just , two days after the Marlboro High School boys basketball team played a down-tos the-wire thriller against South Brunswick - High School in the NJSIAA Central Jer- sey, Group 4 state sectional championship game, which the Mustangs lost to the Vi- kings in the final seconds, 72-71. s This week, Marlboro Coach Mike Nauf sedas said that game has stuck with him - and his players. It has been the players’ s motivation all off-season to train as best d they could around all of the COVID-19 - protocols to be ready for the opportunity e to get back to a championship game if they . got the opportunity to play this winter. On Jan. 11, the Mustangs returned to the - hardwood as high school boys basketball teams in the Shore Conference and New Jersey were permitted to begin practicing for an abbreviated 2021 season. The moment was a blessing for Nausedas and his players. “It was pretty cool to be back on the court with the kids,” the coach said. “Our kids know that every day on the court is a gift. I tell them after practice that I hope I see them tomorrow.” Juniors Jack Seidler, Jonathan Spatola and Jay Ratner will lead a talented squad in pursuit of championships in 2021. For this season, schools have been divided into pods and Marlboro will be in one of the most competitive pods in the conference, competing against the likes of Christian Brothers Academy, Middletown South, Freehold Township, Freehold and Manalapan. “We want to make it to the next day,” Nausedas said. “We want to win our pod and then go get a championship. We had a great preseason playing together. We are ready to go.” During the fall of 2020, Nausedas signed up his squad to play in outdoor tournaments in the area to help the players continue to improve. Marlboro played in about 20 games and won the Fall Madness tournament that was sponsored by the Wall Township Recreation Department. Rumson-Fair Haven Regional High School and Holmdel High School also had players participating in the outdoor tournament at Wall Township. The two Shore Conference A Central Division rivals will

be in different pods this season. Holmdel will be in a pod with Matawan Regional, Raritan, Colts Neck and Middletown North. Rumson-Fair Haven will be in a pod with Red Bank Regional, Long Branch, Shore Regional, Monmouth Regional and Red Bank Catholic. Entering his 15th year at the helm of the Holmdel Hornets, Coach Sean Devaney said it will be a different season not playing rivals like Rumson-Fair Haven and Manasquan, but said his players’ mindset is “zeroing in on playing each game.” Following a 23-5 campaign that included reaching the NJSIAA Central Jersey, Group 2 state sectional championship game, the motivation for Devaney and his team, led by senior Alex Baker, is to continue to build a winning program. “They believe we can be a championship program, not just a championship team,” Devaney said. “Every day we are in the gym is a good day. Our guys know the urgency each day brings to get ready for the season. They are really excited about playing this season.” For Chris Champeau, who is entering his 12th year at the helm of the Rumson Bulldogs, the opportunity to play during a pandemic will be a memorable experience for his squad. “This is one of those years where our players can say they had a great season and played for each other, all during a pandemic,” Champeau said. Juniors Geoffrey Schroeder and Scott Gyimesi lead a Rumson team that went 1711 last year. That was the Bulldogs’ seventh consecutive winning season. As the Bulldogs follow their team motto, “Tradition Never Graduates,” Champeau is looking for his players to continue the program’s winning ways by banding together to handle the challenges that have come about because of COVID-19. That starts by doing what they can to prevent any sort of shutdown. “We are going to play together, play smart and play for each other,” Champeau said. “We will have each other. For us coaches and the kids, that’s what it’s about. We are all in.” Playing a full season would mean a lot to new Jackson Liberty High School Coach Don Connor. The Jackson native believes getting through a full season on the hardwood will help him insert his philosophies and bring a new culture to a program coming off a tough 3-22 campaign.

“To have a full season experience would be extremely beneficial in building the program,” Connor said. “I would be able to implement my coaching style and my philosophy to the kids. We are trying to build a new culture here in the program.” Jackson Liberty will compete in a pod with Manchester, Point Pleasant Borough, Pinelands Regional and Barnegat. Connor is taking everything day by day with his players and making sure his team is ready to “adapt on the fly” to anything that comes up during the season. “My kids want to play and will do anything they can do to play,” the coach said. Devaney, of Holmdel, said he is confident his players will do what needs to be done to have a shot at having a full season.

“The kids put a lot into this and want to have a season,” he said. “They know what they have to do. They know what’s at stake. I’m confident they will do what they can to stay safe and have a season.” Teams can start playing regular season games on Jan. 26. The maximum number of games that may be played will be 15. The first game of the 2021 season will be special in Champeau’s eyes, as he looks forward to seeing his six Rumson seniors get the chance to play. A few months ago it did not appear there would be a season. “Seeing the seniors get to go out there and play will mean the most to me,” the coach said. “Wearing the purple and black as a senior means the world to those guys. They are just happy to be playing.”
