Bucs’ wrestlers appreciate chance to compete in 2021 By STEVEN BASSIN Staff Writer
B
eing on the mat in 2021 has been fun for the members of the Red Bank Regional High School wrestling
team. Coach Scott Ferris, who is at the helm of the Buccaneers for his 21st season, is looking at 2021 as a growing year for his young squad and scheduling as many matches as possible for his wrestlers. The coronavirus pandemic changed New Jersey’s traditional high school wrestling season. Instead of starting just after
Thanksgiving and wresting into March, the 2021 season was compressed into March and April. “To me, it’s all about getting kids matches this year. I’m thankful we are having a season and that the kids can get out of all this quarantine stuff and wrestle. They are excited to be at practice every day and are happy to get to do a sport,” Ferris said. As Ferris focuses on coaching the Bucs during an abbreviated season, he is also preparing wrestlers like Phil Stolfa (126), Anthony Gaeta (195) and Dom Sena (106) for individual success in the post-season.

Ferris believes those three wrestlers have a chance to be selected to participate in a Super Region Tournament and advance to the state tournament in Phillipsburg. District tournaments will not be held this season. Stolfa was a Region 5 qualifier last year as a sophomore and won a team-high 30 matches. This year he was 6-1 through seven matches, losing only to Shore Regional High School’s Jack Maida, who is a threetime state tournament qualifier. Ferris said he is excited about Stolfa’s performance and believes a state tourna-
ment berth is within his reach. Gaeta has dropped down from 220 pounds to 195 pounds this season. After winning 25 matches a year ago, the senior was 5-2 in seven bouts. He is trying to reach the region tournament for the first time. Sena, who is a freshman, has been impressive and Ferris is excited about his future with the program. Sena continued his successful campaign with a 5-4 decision over Freehold’s Sam Sheridan. Red Bank was selected to Pod 7 of the

Eatontown board members introduce $25M budget By MATTHEW SOCKOL Staff Writer
EATONTOWN – The Eatontown Public Schools Board of Education has introduced a $25.4 million budget that will fund the operation of the K-8 district during the 2021-22 school year. Following a discussion among district administrators and board members, the budget was introduced on March 8. A public hearing is scheduled for April 26. The budget, which may be revised until that date, may be adopted by the board following the public hearing. The budget for the upcoming school year will be supported by a tax levy of $17.7 million to be paid by Eatontown’s residential and commercial property owners. The school district’s 2020-21 budget totaled $25.1 million and was supported by a tax levy of $17.4 million. Specific information about the tax impact of the 2020-21 budget on the borough’s property owners is expected to be provided when the budget is considered for adoption. During 2020-21, Eatontown received $2.93 million in state aid. For 2021-22, Eatontown will receive $2.41 million in state
aid, a decrease of $522,703. The school district’s state aid has decreased each year since the enactment of state legislation known as S-2 in 2018. Under S-2, the reduction in state aid to the school district will continue through the 2024-25 school year. Following the introduction of the budget, Superintendent of Schools Scott McCue said, “The 2021-22 tentative school budget is the district’s mechanism for funding its educational, as well as health and wellness priorities. “The budget was crafted to maintain as many quality programs and resources as possible in spite of the drastic state aid cuts under S-2. This budget reflects the third straight year of the S-2 funding reductions. “In order to balance the 2021-22 school budget, the district used $741,570 in excess surplus, down from $1.36 million the year prior, increased the tax levy by 2%, used $399,500 in maintenance reserve funds, and reduced a few staff positions through retirements. The board and the administration tried to retain as much staff as possible due to the complexities caused by the (coronavirus) pandemic,” McCue said. “The district did receive $1 million in ESSER-II (Elementary and Secondary School Emergency Relief) funds from the
federal government. “This one-time funding will help to soften the loss of state aid in 2021-22. However, these one-time funds will not replace the significant loss of state aid in the past, present and future. “Using ESSER-II funding, the district plans to hire two additional school counselors to help support students’ social and emotional learning needs and wellness. In addition, the district plans to offer summer programs to address learning loss resulting from the pandemic. “Quite honestly, the impact of the S-2 reduction in next year’s budget was not as drastic as the public may have thought due to the infusion of federal stimulus into our budget. “It bears repeating that once these federal funds are used, the resources will not be available for future budgets. The budget gaps will be significant and painful in the future. “Eatontown Public Schools bought itself another year of time. In the next budget cycle, the district will experience another $530,000 reduction in state aid, bringing Eatontown’s total state aid from $3.8 million to $1.4 million once all the future cuts are enacted,” McCue said.

NEWS BRIEFS New Jersey Department of Agriculture Secretary Douglas H. Fisher is encouraging New Jersey residents to help take part in eliminating Spotted Lanternfly egg masses before they hatch near the end of April or in early May. Fisher and NJDA Plant Industry Division Director Joseph Zoltowski provide information and instructions on how to find and destroy the egg masses in a video that has been released to the public, according to a press release. Spotted Lanternfly egg masses hold between 30 and 50 eggs of the invasive species. One sign to look for to see where Spotted Lanternfly has been is a black sooty mold on a tree. The Spotted Lanternfly prefers the Tree of Heaven, which is common in New Jersey. While the Spotted Lanternfly is not a threat to humans or animals, it is known to feed on numerous types of vegetation, according to the press release. NJDA and USDA crews have combined to treat more than 20,000 acres and have destroyed thousands of egg masses on nearly 600 properties throughout this past winter season.

Celebrate 50 years of organic farming with NOFA-NJ
W
hen Mark Canright’s father, John, opened his organic farm in Somerset County in 1974, many customers did not know what “organic” meant or why it was important. “Farmer John’s Organic Produce was the first farm in New Jersey that called itself ‘organic.’ We spent a lot of time explaining to people what it was,” recalled Mark, a teenager at the time and now the owner of his own preserved organic farm in Asbury, Hunterdon County. Growing produce without chemical fertilizers or pesticides was a novelty, at least here in the Garden State. John Canright, a former biology teacher, was influenced by Rachel Carson’s 1962 book “Silent Spring.” The groundbreaking book sounded the alarm on the health impacts of chemicals, especially the pesticide DDT. While organic farming was new to New Jersey when Farmer John’s opened, it was more common in New England. The Northeast Organic Farming Association (NOFA) was founded in 1971 by visionary farmers in Vermont and New Hampshire. Today an umbrella organization supporting chapters in seven states, including New Jersey, the NOFA is celebrating its 50th anniversary. To mark the occasion, the NOFA-NJ chapter is promoting the

found these days that does not carry organic produce, and organic produce is also widely available at roadside stands, farmers’ markets, specialty food stores and through CSA delivery.

The song “Big Yellow Taxi” found Joni Mitchell singing, “Hey farmer, farmer, put away your DDT … I don’t care about spots on my apples … Leave me the birds and the bees … Please.” Now is a great time to learn more about organic farming.

Revised parental notification bill signed by Gov. Murphy
G
ov. Phil Murphy has signed a bill into law that requires law enforcement officers to provide written notification to the parent or guardian of individuals under the age of 18 who commit a first offense of unlawfully possessing or consuming an alcoholic beverage, cannabis, marijuana or hashish. Murphy signed the bill on March 26, according to a press release. According to the new law, parents would be notified the first time their underage child is caught using or possessing marijuana or alcohol. The legislation, S-3565, revised the recently enacted adult use cannabis law that required parental notification by law enforcement officers for second and third violations.
“Marijuana was legalized for adults, not for children or teenagers,” said Sen. Vin Gopal (D-Monmouth). “Parents need to be notified if their underage child is using marijuana or alcohol so they can take the appropriate steps to protect them from the potential harmful effects of substance use at young ages and to help them make responsible decisions. “Allowing parents to remain involved and informed can help to make sure that first time offenders do not become repeat offenders,” Gopal said. The legislation signed by Murphy requires parental notification upon the first violation for underage possession or consumption of alcohol, cannabis items, marijuana or hashish by individuals under the age of 18.

on the web: www.centraljersey.com
The previous law required the parent or guardian of the minor to be notified after a second violation and provided information on how to access community-based services. An individual’s parent or guardian would also have been notified for any subsequent violations, with the minor subject to a referral to community services, according to the press release. After Murphy signed the revised legislation, Sen. Declan O’Scanlon (RMonmouth) and Sen. Anthony M. Bucco (R-Morris and Somerset) issued a press release and said it “fails to address impractical complications in the laws which could brand law enforcement officers as criminals for minor procedural gaffes committed during interactions with minors.”
Editorials........................................................... Health & Fitness............................................. 6
“This (revised legislation) is a step in the right direction for New Jersey families, but to be frank, this legislation misses a major problem when it comes to fixing this mess,” said Bucco, who was a Republican co-sponsor with O’Scanlon. “For parents to be notified, police would have to be willing to risk criminal penalties when interacting with juveniles suspected of using or possessing marijuana or alcohol. “Our colleagues on the other side of the aisle are willing to fix a very important component of the problem they have created, but their prioritization of the parental notification fix is a smoke screen that distracts from the nebulous conditions they

Hackensack Meridian Health establishes Hackensack Meridian Health Foundation
H
ackensack Meridian Health announced the formation of Hackensack Meridian Health Foundation. The newly created foundation will serve as the parent organization for the network’s 10 community-based hospital foundations. In addition to raising funds for the network’s local medical centers, Hackensack Meridian Health Foundation will also focus on network-wide priorities such as behavioral health, children’s health, the Hackensack Meridian Center for Discovery & Innovation and the Hackensack
Meridian School of Medicine, according to information provided by Hackensack Meridian Health. “The establishment of one networkwide philanthropic entity has been a goal for a long time,” Robert C. Garrett, FACHE, chief executive officer of Hackensack Meridian Health, said in the statement. “Our local hospital foundations, led by strong boards of trustees, do a tremendous job of fundraising for their local medical centers. In addition, there are important priorities that we need to address at a broader level that will ultimately ben-

Funding on a larger scale helps us to create the additional programs and facilities needed to address a growing health crisis, and those extra resources have the added benefit of freeing up space and caregiver expertise in the emergency departments,
F itness
which is good on a local level.” Hackensack Meridian Health Foundation is led by president and chief development officer Joyce P. Hendricks, along with a board of trustees co-chaired by Keith Banks and Domenic DiPiero. The trustees consist of members from each hospital foundation board, ensuring local hospital representation as they work to broadly raise funds for Hackensack Meridian Health. All hospital foundations will continue to operate locally, raising money for the hospitals, programs and services that mean the most to supporters in those areas. “We are so fortunate to have dedicated trustees who will work as ambassadors on behalf of the network at all levels,” Hendricks said in the statement. “It is vital that a leading health care organization such as Hackensack Meridian Health has a founda-( tion that matches its ambitious goals and is able to secure the funding necessary toS help the network fulfill its mission to trans-t form health care. However, it is equally important that we continue to support ourl local hospitals, and all gifts made to thoseS important community hospitals will be directed as donors intend and remain with the( facility or program of their choosing. I amb confident that with the creation of Hackensack Meridian Health Foundation, wea are well poised to make a real differenceM for the network, and most importantly, our y patients.” In addition to fundraising for Hack-h ensack Meridian Health priorities, thed establishment of Hackensack Meridian Health Foundation will deliver costi savings through the centralization of op-o erations and office space. This will help toe reduce expenses and enable the foundation to transfer additional funds directly to programs and services, according to the statement. In a joint statement, foundation cochairs Banks and DiPiero said, “It is an honor to serve as co-chairs of this very important endeavor. We firmly believe that the merger of our foundations in the north, central and southern markets of Hackensack Meridian Health will create a halo effect that will envelop and enhance health care for our communities. Together with our dedicated board of trustees, we will actively seek out philanthropic opportunities that will make Hackensack Meridian Health the health care organization of choice for the residents of New Jersey and beyond.” To support the foundations, visit www. hackensackmeridianhealth.org/give-now/.

DEP announces trout season in state will begin April 10 More than 500,000 freshly stocked rainbow trout will be available when anglers cast their lines in New Jersey waters this April, Department of Environmental Protection (DEP) Acting Commissioner Shawn LaTourette announced. The official trout season kicks off at 8 a.m. April 10. To reduce the risk of COVID-19 transmission, anglers are reminded to maintain a 6-foot distance from one another while fishing and to wear a face masks or face covering, according to a press release. “Thanks to DEP’s Division of Fish and Wildlife, which has been hard at work with advanced trout stocking, New Jersey residents and visitors can enjoy trout fishing while avoiding crowds and maintaining social distancing, because the trout raised at our Pequest Hatchery have already had time to spread out themselves,” LaTourette said.
An additional 70,000 to 75,000 trout will be stocked during the week of May 10, bringing the spring stocking total to more than 570,000 trout. There will be no in-season closures on any waters. Most trout being stocked will average more than 10 inches in length, according to the press release. From April 10 to May 31, the minimum legal catch size is 9 inches, with a daily limit of six trout in most trout waters. Beginning June 1 and continuing through March 20, 2022, the catch size will remain the same and the daily limit will drop to four trout. The Bonus Broodstock Program is suspended for 2021 due to an accelerated stocking program. Instead, approximately 6,000 2-yearold and 3-year-old broodstock, ranging in size from 14 inches to 26 inches and weighing up to 7 pounds, will be stocked
this spring in waters across the state that are suitable for fish of that size and which do not conflict with management goals. For spring trout fishing information, visit www.njfishandwildlife.com/trtinfo_ spring.htm Rules and regulations regarding freshwater fishing in New Jersey can be found in the 2021 Freshwater Fishing Digest at www.njfishandwildlife.com/digfsh.htm Print copies of the digest are also available at license agents. Anyone age 16 or older must obtain a New Jersey fishing license and trout stamp to fish for trout. Anglers may purchase these at www.nj.wildlifelicense.com/ or through license agents.

Tinton Falls school board introduces $35M budget for 2021-22 By MATTHEW SOCKOL Staff Writer
TINTON FALLS – The Tinton Falls K-8 School District Board of Education has introduced a $35.1 million budget that will fund the operation of the district during the 2021-22 school year. Following a discussion among district administrators and board members, the budget was introduced on March 15. A public hearing is scheduled for May 3. The budget, which may be revised until that date, may be adopted by the board following the public hearing. Residents of Tinton Falls and Shrewsbury Township attend schools in the dis-
trict. For 2021-22, the board has proposed collecting a local tax levy totaling $26.8 million from residential and commercial property owners in the two municipalities. During the current 2020-21 school year, the district’s budget totaled $35 million and the tax levy was $26.36 million. In 2020-21, the school tax rate in Tinton Falls was about 74.13 cents per $100 of assessed valuation. The average home in the borough was assessed at $358,195. The owner of that home paid about $2,655 in school taxes (.7413 x 3,581). In 2021-22, the school tax rate in Tinton Falls is projected to be about 75.83 cents per $100 of assessed valuation. The owner of a home assessed at the borough aver-
NEWS BRIEFS JAR of Hope, a foundation researching a cure for a fatal children’s disease called Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy, has just received good news. The U.S. Food and Drug Administration has approved an Investigational New Drug (IND) application to begin clinical trials of a compound called JAR914. Since September 2019, JAR of Hope has helped to fund this new IND, according to a press release. “We are fighting to save the lives of children with a disease for which there is currently no cure,” said Jim Raffone, the CEO and founder of JAR of Hope. “This FDA approval will allow us to continue our efforts to find a cure with our ‘Operation: LifeLine’ initiative.” Jim and Karen Raffone started JAR of Hope after their son, James Anthony, now 11, was diagnosed with Duchenne in 2013, according to the press release. Some members of the scientific community believe JAR914 can possibly extend the lives of children who have Duchenne. JAR of Hope has permission to involve up to 12 children in the clinical studies, which will focus on the safety of the children and the efficacy of the compound, according to the press release. About 20,000 children in the United States have Duchenne. Statistically, that means perhaps 500 to 600 children live in New Jersey and perhaps twice that number live in New York state, according to the press release. The Monmouth County Park System is seeking entries into its upcoming Color Exhibit. Held from May 1 through June 26 at the Gallery in the Thompson Park Creative Arts Center, Lincroft, this exhibit will feature works defined by their expressive use of color. This show is open to artists working in any medium exploring the use of color as
their primary concept in order to create dynamic, unique works, according to a press release. Local artist Jordan Robinson is the guest judge. Additional information and an entry form are available at www.MonmouthCountyParks.com. The entry deadline is April 19. For more information about the exhibit, the Thompson Park Creative Arts Center or the park system, visit www.MonmouthCountyParks.com To commemorate National County Government Month in April, Monmouth County’s constitutional officers – Clerk Christine Giordano Hanlon, Surrogate Rosemarie D. Peters and Sheriff Shaun Golden – are inviting the county’s fourthgraders to showcase what they like best about Monmouth County by having students create posters that fit the theme “My County.” “The ‘My County’ poster contest helps students learn about the inherent beauty and exceptional opportunities of the county in which they live,” Golden saod. “The constitutional officers work harmoniously to provide safety, security, vital records and estate resolution assistance to the 600,000plus residents of Monmouth County.” Posters must be on a standard 22-inch by 28-inch poster board; the words “Monmouth County” must appear at the top of the poster in 4-inch letters with black marker; the student’s name, teacher’s name and school must be printed neatly in the lower right-hand corner on the back of the poster. Posters must be mailed or delivered to the Monmouth County Clerk’s Office, 33 Mechanic St., Freehold Borough, by 4:30 p.m. April 30. For details, visit MonmouthCountyClerk.com or call 732-431-7324, ext. 8739.
age of $367,074 will pay about $2,783 in school taxes (.7583 x 3,670). In 2020-21, the school tax rate in Shrewsbury Township was about 82 cents per $100 of assessed valuation. The average home in the township was assessed at $162,039. The owner of that home paid about $1,328 in school taxes (.82 x 1,620). In 2021-22, the school tax rate in Shrewsbury Township is projected to be about 63.93 cents per $100 of assessed valuation. The average home in the township is assessed at $172,526. The owner of that home will pay about $1,103 in school taxes (.6393 x 1,725). School taxes are one item on a property owner’s tax bill, which also includes mu-
nicipal taxes and Monmouth County taxes. The amount of taxes a property owner pays is determined by the assessed value of his home and/or property and the tax rate that is set by each taxing entity. For the 2020-21 school year, the school district’s budget was supported by the receipt of $3.18 million in state aid. For the 2021-22 school year, the school district’s budget is expected to be supported by the receipt of $2.85 million in state aid, a decrease of $333,743. The school district’s state aid has decreased each year since the enactment of state legislation known as S-2 in 2018.
Red Bank school board introduces $36.2 million budget for 2021-22 By MATTHEW SOCKOL Staff Writer
RED BANK – The Red Bank Borough Public Schools Board of Education has introduced a $36.2 million budget that will fund the operation of the K-8 school district during the 2021-22 school year. Following a discussion among district administrators and board members, the budget was introduced on March 9. A public hearing is scheduled for April 27. The budget, which may be revised until that date, may be adopted by the board following the public hearing. The budget for the upcoming school year will be supported by a tax levy of $18.8 million to be paid by Red Bank’s residential and commercial property owners. Specific information about the tax impact of the 2021-22 budget on Red Bank’s property owners is expected to be provided when the budget is considered for adoption by the board later this month.
The school district’s 2020-21 budget totaled $31.9 million and was supported by a tax levy of $18.6 million. During 2020-21, Red Bank received $6.36 million in state aid. For 2021-22, Red Bank will receive $7.68 million in state aid, an increase of $1.32 million. The school district’s state aid has increased each year since the enactment of state legislation known as S-2 in 2018. Red Bank was initially scheduled to receive $6.9 million in state aid for the 2020-21 school year, but that amount was revised to $6.36 million because of the financial impact of the coronavirus pandemic on New Jersey. According to information posted on the school district’s website, there were 1,467 pupils enrolled on Oct. 15, 2018 and 1,475 pupils enrolled on Oct. 15, 2019. The estimated enrollment as of Oct. 15, 2020 was 1,508 pupils. District administrators have not posted the estimated enrollment for Oct. 15, 2021.

have created that could easily ruin an officer’s career if not navigated flawlessly,” Bucco said. O’Scanlon said more changes are necessary to protect police officers from unfair criminal prosecution when they encounter underage individuals in possession of marijuana or alcohol. The recently enacted law allows law enforcement officers to be charged with depravation of civil rights for what O’Scanlon and Bucco called inconsequential errors that may be made when dealing with an individual under the now-legal age of 21. O’Scanlon and Bucco are sponsoring legislation, S-3577, which would prevent the legalizing of marijuana from becoming an attack on law enforcement officers and shielding the officers from irrational criminal charges, according to the Republican senators’ press release. Also commenting on Murphy’s signing of the revised parental notification bill was Thomas A. Arnone, the director of the Monmouth County Board of County Commissioners. The county’s governing body had called on state legislators to revise the initial legislation that did not provide for parental notification following a first offense. “The Monmouth County commissioners came out strongly against the underage marijuana possession bill and I am glad to see our concerns regarding parental notification have been addressed,” Arnone told Newspaper Media Group. “Parents need to be aware of what their children are doing and since they cannot always be with them, sometimes parents need to rely on schools and law enforcement to be their eyes and ears. “The commissioners are very passionate about a parent’s right to know if their child gets into trouble and also the right of law enforcement to be able to protect our children and help them make good decisions,” Arnone said. — Managing Editor Mark Rosman contributed to this article
