Fair Haven introduces $9.6M budget By MARK ROSMAN Managing Editor

throughout the coronavirus pandemic, according to the press release. Goganzer said the testing is another example of the “Y’s commitment to address the community’s critical needs during this uncharted and unparalleled public health crisis.” CEO of VNACJ CHC Christopher Rinn said, “We are pleased to work with the YMCA to offer this essential testing to residents of the greater Monmouth County area.” Rinn said the saliva test is less intrusive
he Borough Council has introduced a $9.64 million budget to fund the operation of Fair Haven during 2020. The budget was introduced on May 26. Council President Susan A. Sorensen, Councilman James Banahan, Councilwoman Elizabeth Koch, Councilman Michael McCue and Councilman Christopher Rodriguez voted “yes” on a motion to introduce the budget. Councilwoman Meghan ChrisnerKeefe voted “no” on the motion to introduce the budget. Asked to comment on the budget, Sorensen said, “In Fair Haven we consistently take the conservative approach with the budget and are very mindful of balancing managing this great community along with keeping tax increases to a minimum. “This year was particularly challenging for our Finance Committee led by Councilman Banahan and Councilman Rodriguez, with some increases in costs, specifically in regard to recycling and garbage disposal, and a decrease in revenues that were outside of our control, along with continuously maintaining our level of investment in the borough,” Sorensen said. The 2020 budget shows an appropriation of $399,000 under the line item Recycling and Landfill: Landfill/Solid Waste Disposal Costs. The 2019 appropriation for the same line item was $230,000. Asked to comment on her vote, Chrisner-Keefe said, “Tough times call for tough decisions and Fair Haven taxpayers are counting on their elected officials to be prudent.

YMCA and VNACJ collaborate on testing
T
he YMCA of Greater Monmouth County has joined forces with the Visiting Nurse Association of Central New Jersey’s Community Health Centers (VNACJ CHC) to offer COVID-19 testing at the Red Bank Family YMCA. VNACJ CHC is now staffing drivethrough and walk-up saliva-based testing at the YMCA for area residents concerned they may have been exposed to the coronavirus, according to a press release. Gov. Phil Murphy and state health officials have said increased and continued broad-based testing will help identify individuals who have been infected, help
them get necessary treatment and slow the spread of the virus, according to the press release. “Local testing at the YMCA is another way our organization has solidified its commitment to serve the community during this pandemic, and we have partnered with the VNACJ Community Health Centers to provide area residents with convenient access to COVID-19 testing,” YMCA President and CEO Laurie Goganzer said. The Y has offered emergency child care to essential workers, blood drives, food collection and distribution, as well as mental health services for children and adults

Green investments critical to state’s strong economy
T
he coronavirus hit hard, infecting more than 1.5 million residents in the United States and triggering the worst economic crisis since the Great Depression. New Jersey is at the epicenter of the pandemic, with more COVID-19 cases than any state except New York. Thanks to difficult but essential social distancing and reduced travel, the coronavirus is hopefully loosening its grip – at least for the time being – and the public health emergency is slowly improving. Our state and nation must now rebuild the economy while protecting health and safety at the same time. Where to begin? How about investing in clean energy, parks and trails, and stronger protections for our waterways? These green investments will help the economy recover, create new jobs and make communities healthier and safer. Tim Sullivan, CEO of the New Jersey Economic Development Authority, recently identified clean energy as one of biggest opportunities to successfully restart the state’s economy. Sullivan also co-chairs the Governor’s Restart and Recovery Advisory Council, tasked with plotting a course for reopening and repairing our economy. In an op-ed on the ROI-NJ.com (Return On Information) business news site, Sullivan wrote that the clean/renewable energy sectors “are poised to add significantly to the state’s climate, energy, environmental and economic resilience. “We should push harder than ever to prioritize the development of the offshore
wind industry, and to make the package jobs, according to a 2009 report. • Energy efficiency – The Economic of resiliency- and environmental-justice Policy Institute, a national nonpartisan driven investments outlined in Gov.

These conservation benefits equate to ly five jobs, the same amount invested in wind and solar would result in 13 to 14 a strong return on investment, with a na-
tional average of $4 returned in natural services for every $1 invested. This return can be as high as $11 in some states. The bottom line is that we don’t have to choose between a clean, healthy environment and a strong economy. We can have both. In fact, evidence shows that economic health declines when the environment is degraded. Fortunately, New Jersey is planning for a clean energy future where most of the state’s energy comes from clean, renewable sources like solar and offshore wind. This is in stark contrast to the current administration in Washington, D.C., which is pushing for dozens of environmental rollbacks, putting clean water, air and public health at risk. Now is the time for New Jersey to double down on its investment in clean energy, energy efficiency, open space, parks and trails. These green investments are sure to appeal to millions of people here in the nation’s most densely populated state who have developed a newfound appreciation for natural lands, parks, clean air and water, and open spaces during the pandemic.

Research to focus on horse-human bond for veterans with PTSD
T
he Equine Science Center at Rutgers University has announced its fundraising initiative kickoff for a research project that will focus on Equine Assisted Activ-ities and Therapies (EAAT) for veterans with post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) which will coincide with June’s Month of the Horse in New Jersey. The research project, to be conducted by the Equine Science Center, will focus on the horse-human bond, and how EAAT affects humans and horses during these types of therapy sessions. “It is important that we are not only
able to fund the research that will be conducted, but also cover all costs associated with the veterans who will be volunteering their time for this important cause,” Equine Science Center Director Dr. Karyn Malinowski said. “This will be the first time research conducted with EAAT will measure the same physiological markers of stress and wellbeing simultaneously in the horses and the veterans,” she said. The proposed project, an eight-week research trial by Ph.D. candidate Ellen Rankins, will examine equine and human

health in the treatment of PTSD specifically within the New Jersey veteran population, according to a press release. “The study will look at how the interactions between the horses and humans, sometimes referred to as a ‘horse-human bond’ affect one another,” Rankins said. “Not only will data be collected during the trial period, we will also follow up with the participants to observe how long these changes are sustained over time,” she said. Rankins is looking to enlist 120 participants for the project. From this group, 30 combat veterans diagnosed with PTSD

Dancer (R-Monmouth, Ocean, Middlesex, Burlington) serves on the Assembly’s Military and Veterans’ Affairs Committee and is a veteran of the U.S. Army. “Growing up I saw firsthand the bond between horses and people, myself included, and the good that can come from that connection,” Dancer said. “But when we then go to get these types

tor cannot process the final 2020 tax levy.” Council members said Red Bank’s tax collector, in consultation with the chief financial officer, computed and certified an estimated total tax levy of $52.21 million, at a rate of $2.297 per $100 of assessed valuation, as necessary to bill third quarter taxes due Aug. 1. According to the council, the tax collector has been directed to process estimated tax bills for the third quarterly installment of 2020 taxes. The third quarterly installment of 2020 taxes will not be subject to interest until the later of Aug. 10 or the 25th calendar day after the date the estimated tax bills were mailed. In other business, the council members authorized a reimbursement agreement with Monmouth County for the municipal coronavirus relief fund program. According to a resolution, the United States, Monmouth County and the borough are victims of the coronavirus pandemic and on March 27, the Coronavirus Aid Relief and Economic Security Act (the CARES Act) was signed into federal law by President Donald Trump.

RED BANK – Even though Red Bank’s elected officials have not adopted the 2020 municipal budget, that will not stop the borough from mailing out property tax bills which will be due on Aug. 1. During a meeting of the Borough Council on May 27, council members authorized Red Bank’s tax collector to prepare, deliver and process third quarter estimated tax bills due Aug. 1. According to a resolution, because of “the disruption caused by the coronavirus outbreak,” state officials have delayed the adoption of the New Jersey Fiscal Year 2021 budget to Sept. 30 and the Division of Local Government Services (DLGS) cannot certify state aid allocations to municipal budgets until state aid appropriations are known. The resolution states that the DLGS cannot approve municipal budgets and that the Monmouth County Board of Taxation cannot certify taxes until long after the June 30 deadline to process third quarter tax bills due Aug. 1 and that “without an adopted 2020 municipal budget and without a 2020 certified tax rate, the tax collec-
was enacted, among other purposes, “to combat the economic damage to states, counties and municipalities caused by the coronavirus.” They said the county “has received CARES Act funds from the U.S. Treasury to reimburse the county for economic damage caused by the coronavirus.” The county will disburse the funds in accordance with the terms and provisions of the CARES Act and any guidelines issued by the federal government. The Monmouth County freeholders have determined it is in the best interests of the county’s residents to dedicate a share of the funds to reimburse municipalities for coronavirus-related costs and expenses, according to the resolution. Business Administrator Ziad Shehady said at this time he cannot provide an estimate of how much funding Red Bank will seek because borough officials “have to confirm the eligibility of various expenses with the county under the guidelines of the program to ensure compliance with the federal regulations of the CARES Act funds. Additionally, this program is available through Dec. 31, 2020, and so expenses may continue to be incurred until then.”

area.” Rinn said the saliva test is less intrusive than the deep nasal swab test that has been widely used since the coronavirus pandemic broke out. “The (saliva test) is safer for healthcare workers administering the procedure and they require less personal protective equipment than the deep nasal swab,” he added. Red Bank Mayor Pasquale Menna said the borough “is grateful our local Y and the VNA have teamed up to provide easy access to COVID-19 testing for our residents and those in neighboring towns.” Individuals who are interested in being tested at the Red Bank Family YMCA should call VNACJ CHC at 732-294-2540 for a telehealth screening or go to vnachc. org/contact-us to determine if they qualify for testing. The test site at the Red Bank YMCA, 166 Maple Ave., is open by appointment only from 1-4 p.m. Monday, Wednesday and Friday. Patients can drive through and will be given a kit through their car window. Walk-up patients will be asked to sit on a bench outside of the YMCA. The testing takes about 15 minutes. Results will be provided two to three days after the saliva screening. Fees for the COVID-19 test are on a sliding scale and/or based upon the individual’s health insurance coverage, according to the press release. As of June 1, New Jersey had more than 160,000 positive cases reported, and 11,700 deaths from the coronavirus.

“In the midst of a recession, I am opeposed to a budget that increases taxation n10.4%. There is opportunity within the -introduced budget to make downward adjustments and I am hopeful my fellow goveerning body members can appreciate the dimpact of such a significant tax increase in -these uncertain financial times. “I propose exploring opportunities dto cut the pending tax increase by half. I ewould expect that cut to include some re-duction of the capital improvement fund sappropriation that is proposed to increase by about $600,000 this year for a total of -$925,000 in our 2020 budget, as well as Aother expenditure adjustments. 0 “I acknowledge our capital needs and .obligation to address them, however, some yof the approved yet unfunded large-scale projects were conceived in prior years. ,Given these unexpected and uncertain ttimes, Fair Haven taxpayers do not want yus to over-commit financially. Our budget must reflect not where we used be, but ewhere we are now,” Chrisner-Keefe said. A public hearing on the budget has been nscheduled for June 23. Council members gmay adopt the budget following the public hearing. e Fair Haven’s residential and commerrcial property owners will pay $7.35 million ein a local tax levy to support the 2020 budhget, according to the budget document that shas been posted on the borough’s website. Other revenues in the 2020 budget ineclude the expected receipt of $454,589 in dstate aid and the appropriation of $1 million from the borough’s surplus fund (savings). , Fair Haven’s 2019 budget totaled $9.47 rmillion and was supported by the collecntion of $6.66 million in local property
taxes. State aid was $454,580 and officials appropriated $1.36 million from the surplus fund. From 2019 to 2020, total appropriations have increased by $170,000 and the tax levy has increased by $690,000. In 2019, Fair Haven’s municipal tax rate was 37.2 cents per $100 of assessed valuation. The average home in the borough was assessed at $843,040. The owner of that home paid $3,136 in municipal taxes. In 2020, Fair Haven’s municipal tax rate is projected to increase to 40 cents per $100 of assessed valuation. The average home in the borough is now assessed at $862,705. The owner of that home will pay $3,451 in municipal taxes. Municipal taxes are one item on a property owner’s tax bill, which also includes school taxes and Monmouth County taxes. An individual pays more or less in taxes depending on the assessed value of his home and/or property, and the tax rate that is set by each taxing entity. Selected appropriations in the borough’s 2020 budget include the salaries and wages that will be paid to Fair Haven’s police officers, $1.63 million; and $102,400 for other police department expenses; Also, $52,450 in aid to volunteer fire companies; $925,000 for the capital improvement fund; $954,000 for group insurance benefits; and $178,834 for general liability insurance. During 2020, Fair Haven officials will pay $413,505 to the Police and Firemen’s Retirement System of New Jersey; $161,133 to the Public Employees Retirement System; and $155,000 to the Social Security System.

MCSPCA staff available for pet County historical commission tips as owners return to work presents preservation awards
W
hile the Monmouth County Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals (MCSPCA) is in the business of finding homes for pets, it has introduced a resource to keep pets in their homes as well. With the surge in pet adoptions during the COVID-19 quarantine period, getting ready to go back to work may be a tough transition for pets who have been able to enjoy the constant company of their humans at home, according to a press release from the MCSPCA. To ease back into a work schedule, the adoption and behavior staff at the MCSPCA have amassed several resources for the public to take advantage of, all available on the shelter’s website, according to the press release. From dog training and do-it-yourself
enrichment to cat playtime and toys, the Monmouth County SPCA wants to make sure people and their pets are prepared “In light of all the sadness and hardship endured during the COVID-19 crisis, the MCSPCA was thrilled to see the large uptick in adoptions,” said Chief Ross Licitra, executive director of the organization, which is based in Eatontown. “That being said, we want adopters to be certain the MCSPCA will continue to be here to ensure they are able to keep their new pets safe and at home. I am proud of the resources our staff is offering to those who may need them,” Licitra said. Questions and concerns may be sent directly to the shelter’s trainers and adoption managers. For more information, visit www.monmouthcountyspca.org or call 732-542-5962.
For a complete list of community events, visit www.centraljersey.com. Any calendar items not appearing in the printed version of the newspaper will appear online. To submit an event for publication, email news@theatlantichub.com or fax 732-3858868. The deadline for submissions is noon on Friday.
T
he Monmouth County Historical Commission has announced the recipients of the county’s 2020 Historical Preservation Awards and the winners of the History Essay Contest for fifth-graders. The awards are presented to individuals and/or organizations who have taken on restoration and preservation projects for historic buildings in Monmouth County, according to a press release. “Preserving Monmouth County’s historical sites takes a lot of time, dedication, patience and money,” said Freeholder Lillian G. Burry, liaison to the Monmouth County Historical Commission. “I am genuinely appreciative to those who have committed themselves to help restore Monmouth County’s history for future residents of the county to enjoy.” The Presbyterian Church of Shrewsbury has been recognized for its restoration of the Manse, the home of the church’s pastors, according to the press release. Although the Manse suffered considerable damage, the congregation supported its improvement to 21st century standards, while retaining the appearance and archi-
tectural detail of the 19th century. The recognition of the repurposed Jersey Shore Arts Center’s “Remember the Forties” room is in memory of Herbert G. Herbst. An Ocean Grove resident, Herbst led the campaign to renovate the vacant former Neptune High School. The award is also dedicated to the 10 classes that graduated from the high school in the 1940s, who generously supported the effort, according to the press release. The commission announced the 2020 fifth-grade history essay contest award winners. Awarded first place was Samantha Hein from Newbury School, Howell, for her essay, “My Family’s History in Howell, N.J.” Patrick Yurcisin from Saint Leo the Great, Lincroft, was presented second place for his essay, “My Visit to the National Guard Militia Museum of New Jersey.” Third place was awarded to Joey Longo from the Frank Antonides School, West Long Branch, for his essay, “A Descendant of the Mayflower.”

n a previous column, I already stated my feelings about some of the pretentious names car manufacturers come up with for their exterior colors. To a similar degree, the same can be said for the names
given to some of the models. It took me a while to figure out how Kia came up with “Seltos” for a name of one of its new models – it’s the son of Sampson’s name.

extremely spacious, adequately powered, handles well and is solid all around. But, are you going to impress your friends at the country club? Probably not. But, who really cares? Besides the aforementioned attributes I likes about the Avenir, what I found most impressive was its massive interior cargo space. As an example, the Enclave boasts an impressive 48.5 cubic feet of cargo volume compared to the BMW X5 – a model in its same price range – which only has 36.5 cubic feet. If you want a real life example. With both the second and third row seats folded down, I was able to easily – without any struggle – load my full sized bike into and out of the rear cargo area. Moreover, with the bike stored in the back, I took my wife shopping for new cushions for our patio furniture. With the bike still in the rear cargo area, we were still able to load eight cushions into the back as well and a few small bags of groceries. The 3.6 liter V6 powerplant on this Enclave – the only engine offered – puts out 310 horsepower. The EPA gas mileage ratings come in at 20 miles per gallon overall – 17 in city driving and 25 on the highway. The EPA estimates that the annual average fuel cost is $2,000 as the Enclave uses about 5 gallons of gas per every 100 miles. The overall vehicle score on the government’s 5-star safety ratings test came in at an impressive 5 stars for the Enclave. In the frontal crash test it received 5 stars for the driver side and 4 for the passenger. In the side crash test it got 5 stars for both front and rear seat tests. And, for the rollover test it received 4 stars. Some of the “nice to be included” standard features on the Avenir mode include the Buick infotainment system with navigation; an 8-inch HD color touchscreen; leather seating with heated and cooled seats; power liftgate; heated steering wheel; wireless charging; rearview camera and more. I found the ability to sync my phone, connect my music (from my iPod) and enter a navigation destination, either manually or through the voice command system, to be quite simple and easy to do. The standard warranty on the Enclave is 3 years, 36,000 miles bumper to bumper limited warranty, with 5 years, 60,000 miles coverage on the powertrain. It also comes with roadside assistance and courtesy transportation and a complimentary first maintenance visit.

Ranney School supports Lunch Break TINTON FALLS – Ranney School families donated $16,242 to Lunch Break on June 2. The community service initiative was led by the Zugel family of Holmdel (Lucia ’23 and Ashleigh ’16) and the Uzzi family of Fair Haven (Christina ’22, Michael ’24 and Nicholas ’29), who inspired other Ranney families to join them in donating to Lunch Break or to support increased need-based financial aid. Lunch Break, which is based in Red Bank, freely provides food, clothing, life skills and fellowship to individuals in need in Monmouth County and beyond, according to its website. According to a press release from the school, the families were inspired to lend their support in response to the 2020 coronavirus pandemic, which has led to job loss and significant hardship for families in the community. With schools closed and people working from home, food banks have seen a significant increase in the number of families seeking help, according to the statement. Ranney School students and families have a long history of supporting Lunch Break, including school-wide food drives,
volunteering at the organization and donating produce grown in the school’s community garden, according to the press release. Ranney Head of School John Griffith, Lucia Zugel ’23, and Griffith’s daughter Claire ’27 were on hand to present the gift to Gwendolyn Love, executive director of Lunch Break. “It’s just overwhelming to say the least to see how the Ranney community embraces Lunch Break,” Love said. “I am immensely proud of these students and their families for their leadership, and I am grateful for the generosity and strength of the Ranney community,” Griffith said. In the press release, the Zugel family said, “Lucia was seeing the drastic increase of people depending on the food bank and was worried that with kids out of school they would not get fed. We care very much about combating food insecurity through support of Lunch Break.” “So many people are struggling,” the Uzzi family said in the press release. “We are proud to be part of a community that saw the need and responded in whatever way they could to help.”
