he Township Committee in Middletown has adopted a bond ordinance which appropriates $3.67 million to fund capital improvements in the municipality. Committee members who adopted the ordinance during a meeting on Aug. 17 authorized the issuance of $3.2 million in bonds or notes to pay a portion of the expenses. Deputy Mayor Anthony Fiore, Committeeman Kevin Settembrino, Committeewoman Patricia Snell and Committeeman Rick Hibell voted “yes” on a motion to adopt the ordinance. Fiore said Mayor Tony Perry was absent from the meeting following the birth of a daughter, the first child for the mayor and his wife Alana. According to the ordinance, the total appropriation of $3.67 million includes $275,000 that is expected to be received as a New Jersey Department Transportation Grant; $26,000 from Middletown’s capital improvement fund; and $168,525 as a down payment required by New Jersey’s Local Bond Law. Bonds in the amount of $3.2 million are authorized to be issued, according to the ordinance. (Continued on page 10)
NJSIAA moves forward with plan for high school sports
T
he New Jersey State Interscholastic Athletic Association’s Sports Advisory Task Force has released its Return to Sports Plan which provides detailed schedules for fall and winter high school sports. The dates for the spring sports season will be announced at a later date; the task
force recognizes the need to maximize the 2021 spring sports season due to the loss of the 2020 spring sports season during the height of the coronavirus pandemic, according to a press release. The outdoor fall sports – football, cross country, field hockey, girls tennis and soccer – will begin practice on Sept. 14.
Girls tennis teams will begin their competition on Sept. 28. Cross country, field hockey and soccer teams will begin competition on Oct. 1. The opening day for the football season will be Oct. 2. The indoor fall sports – gymnastics and girls volleyball – will be moved to a new,
special season that will begin with practices on Feb. 16 and competition on March 3, according to the press release. If circumstances change and the NJSIAA is unable to have a fall season, the outdoor fall sports will also be played at

Indie Street Film Festival announces lineup; opening night drive-in
T
he Indie Street Film Festival (ISFF) has announced its 2020 film lineup, featuring one in-person screening and a fully online program to follow. The opening night selection is “Class Action Park” (soon to be released by HBO Max). The feature length documentary film shines a spotlight on New Jersey’s Action Park, which earned a reputation as the most insane – and possibly the most dangerous – amusement park that ever existed, according to a press release. “Class Action Park” explores the legend, legacy and truth behind a place that long ago entered the realm of myth. The film uses investigative journalism, newly unearthed documents and recordings, original animations, and interviews with the people who lived through it to reveal the true story for the first time. “Class Action Park” will be screened at the festival’s first drive-in at Fort Monmouth, Eatontown, on Sept. 17 in association with Summit Soundz Entertainment. Tickets will be $40 per car and doors will open at approximately 6:30 p.m. for a 7:15 p.m. start., according to the press release. Attendees will receive up to two gift bags per car in celebration of the fifth year of the festival, with snacks from local vendors and sponsors. There will be a brief Q&A with filmmaker Seth Porges following the film. The fifth Indie Street Film Festival is going virtual, offering all films online from Sept. 18-23 to continue the celebration of art, community and independent storytelling, according to the press release. Any United States-based viewer can see all 47 official selections for $40. All access passes are available through indiestreetfilmfestival.org/attend The following feature film selections have been revealed as part of the 2020 lineup: • “Higher Love” by Hasan Oswald (Slamdance Grand Jury Award). Daryl Gantt is a struggling blue collar factory man striving to be a better father than his own, who abandoned him at childhood. Daily, he searches the streets of Camden for his pregnant, heroin addicted girlfriend Nani, in hopes of saving their son. (Documentary Feature) • “Into the Storm” by Adam Brown (Brooklyn Film Festival Best Documentary and Audience Award). A troubled teenager from a crime-ridden barrio of Lima, Peru, struggles against the odds to realize his dream of becoming a professional surfer and lift his family out of poverty. (Docu-
mentary Feature) • “Milkwater” by Morgan Ingari, featuring Younger’s Molly Bernard. A young woman rashly decides to become a surrogate and egg donor for an older gay man she meets in a bar. (Narrative Feature) • “The Never List” by Michelle Mower. After the sudden death of her best friend, a straight “A “obedient teen sets out to fulfill their secret list of outrageous acts they said they would never do. (Narrative Feature) • “Survival Skills” by Quinn Armstrong. In this throwback to 1980s police training videos, Jim (Vayu O’Donnell), a rookie cop, gets in over his head when he tries to resolve a domestic violence case outside the law. As the situation slips away from him, he is opposed by the video’s powerful and sinister narrator (Stacy Keach). (Narrative Feature) • “This is Cristina” by Gonzalo Maza (Academy Award winning “A Fantastic Woman”). Cristina and Susana are best friends since high school. But now, when they are over 30 years old, they receive a wake-up call. (Narrative Feature) • “We Don’t Deserve Dogs,” by Matthew Saleh (ISFF Alumni Filmmaker). A contemplative odyssey across our planet, looking at the simple and extraordinary ways that dogs influence our daily lives. (Documentary Feature) Each year the festival also focuses on discovering talented filmmakers local to New Jersey, according to the press release. This year ISFF has selected seven exceptional short New Jersey films: “Broken Bird” by Rachel Harrison Gordon; “Ex Disposer” by Daniel Ferrer; “Next Level Sh*t” by Gary Jaffe; “The Poet and the Plant” by Tom Basis and Robert Summerlin; “Stay Don’t Go” by Brian Velsor; “We’ll Miss You” by Gracianne Eldrenkamp; and “Wonder” by Javier Molina. The festival’s artistic director, Jay Webb, said that “in a time of uncertainty and unfortunate divide, this year’s film program offers our virtual attendees a chance to dive deep into human stories from a wide range of perspectives. “Even viewing from our homes, our hand-picked films have the power to connect us. This is what film and the arts can do, and why we felt it even more important to continue the festival in this new way to make creative expressions available to the public during these strange times,” Webb said. The festival’s producer and senior programmer, Allyson Morgan, said the pro-

Field set in race for two seats on Township Committee in Holmdel By PETER ELACQUA Staff Writer
HOLMDEL – Gregory Buontempo, Domenico Luccarelli, Michael Jenkins and Joseph Romano will run for two three-year terms on the Holmdel Township Committee in November.
The four residents secured their nominations in the July 7 primary election. The Republican primary was contested with Buontempo running with Ronald Emma and Luccarelli running with Victoria Flynn. When all of the votes were tallied, residents had made a split decision and tapped

one individual from each Republican ticket to run in the Nov. 3 general election. Buontempo, a member of the Township Committee who is serving as Holmdel’s mayor in 2020, and Luccarelli, who serves on the Zoning Board of Adjustment, outpolled Flynn, who is the president of the Holmdel Township Schools Board of Education, and Emma, who serves on the Planning Board. Luccarelli, who received 1,519 votes, and Buontempo, who received 1,313 votes, secured the two GOP nominations. Flynn and Emma received 1,259 votes and 1,161 votes, respectively, according to results posted online by the Monmouth County Clerk’s Office. “I am beyond grateful that Holmdel Republicans rewarded my record as mayor with the nomination for another term,” Buontempo said. “I was pleased to learn voter turnout was almost double than in the prior year (50% vs. 28%) for Republican voters, but I hope voter turnout continues to rise in the upcoming election this fall.” On the Democratic side, Romano was the only Democrat to file a nominating petition. Romano received 1,244 votes to
secure a nomination. Jenkins received 49 write-in votes in the July 7 Democratic primary and earned a place on the Nov. 3 ballot. Several weeks ago, Democratic Gov. Phil Murphy directed the Nov. 3 election to be conducted primarily by mail during the 2020 coronavirus health crisis. A ballot is expected to be mailed to more than six million registered voters in the Garden State this fall. The Nov. 3 election is topped by the race for president between Republican Donald Trump of New York, who is seeking a second term in the White House, and Democrat Joe Biden, a former U.S. senator from Delaware. Under the governor’s order, residents, with limited exceptions, who show up at a polling location on Nov. 3 will not be permitted to use a voting machine. Those individuals will instead vote on a provisional (i.e., paper) ballot. Trump’s re-election campaign has filed legal action against Murphy in an attempt to overturn the governor’s directive to conduct an almost 100% vote by mail election in November.

that time (beginning March 3). Winter sports teams may begin practicing on Dec. 3. Winter sport competition will begin on Dec. 21. All of these dates are subject to change based on guidance from Gov. Phil Murphy and the New Jersey Department of Health, according to the press release. The Sports Advisory Task Force’s goals were to ensure health and safety; promote participation, not championships; limit travel; and stay flexible in the face of changing circumstances, according to the press release. With these principles in mind, schedules will be condensed, competition will be local, out-of-state competition will be prohibited (unless a waiver is granted for exceptional circumstances), and post-season play will be limited and local, with no statewide championships. “We are extremely appreciative of the support and guidance from Gov. Murphy, Sen. Paul Sarlo and Assemblyman Benjie Wimberly,” NJSIAA Chief Operating Officer Colleen Maguire said. “Our kids need structured activity and we believe that education-based high school sports is the best way to provide it. Giving teenagers extra motivation to stay COVID-free promotes healthy outcomes for everyone,” Maguire said.

Mater Dei Prep announces new members on Board of Trustees MIDDLETOWN – Mater Dei Prep has announced the names of newly elected members to the school’s Board of Trustees. The Board of Trustees is made up of professional members affiliated with the school who guide, advise and consult with the school’s operating personnel, according to a press release from the school. The board facilitates, oversees and contributes to the overall functionality and management of the school, while preserving its strong Catholic identity, according to the press release. Kathryn McLaughlin, chairwoman of
the Board of Trustees, welcomed Carolyn Broderick Huntington, Paul Fisher, Christina Hardman-O’Neal and Meg Mindell to the board. “The board is comprised of an exceptional and dedicated roster of individuals. These four new members each bring unique capabilities to the board and will add depth and strength in key strategic areas and contribute to the achievement of Mater Dei’s core mission,” McLaughlin said. Huntington is a senior HRIS analyst at Mount Sinai Health System in New York and has 30 years of human resources expe-
rience in the healthcare, biotech and financial services industries. Fisher is the associate chief information officer and director of the Teaching, Learning and Technology Center at Seton Hall University. Hardman-O’Neal is a partner at the law firm of Davison Eastman Muñoz Paone, P.A., in Freehold Township. Mindell is the owner and executive director of Halcyon Elder Care in Middletown and has been for 20 years. “I wish to express the sincere gratitude of the board and the Mater Dei Prep community for the commitment and dedication of Tamara Linde and Ryan Lino, two departing members. We are sorry to see them depart the board, but thank them for their contributions and the marks they each made during their time with the board,” McLaughlin said.

MIDDLETOWN – Four young men who are members of Boy Scout Troop 32 in Middletown have attained the rank of Eagle Scout. Troop 32 is chartered by the River Plaza School. An Eagle Court of Honor to recognize the achievements of Kevin Krippa Jr., David F. Sperduto, Noah Van Ryck de Groot and Ryan Crespo was recently held at the Middletown United Methodist Church, according to a press release. In attendance were the leaders of Troop 32, representatives of the Boy Scouts of America Monmouth Council and local dignitaries, including Mayor Tony Perry, as well as family members, friends and fellow scouts, according to the press release. Collectively, these four young men earned more than 100 merit badges and have given years of leadership to the troop. Individually, each scout spent at least 100 hours on a service project, according to the press release. Troop 32 Scoutmaster Nick Gizzi said, “These four Eagle Scouts are fine examples of what hard work, dedication and compassion will accomplish. They are in inspiration to us all and we look forward to watching them succeed and continue to be outstanding citizens in our community.” Kevin Krippa Jr. is a recent graduate

Virtual Shoreline Heart Walk will raise funds for cardiovascular research
RWJBarnabas Health will partner with the American Heart Association again this year to raise awareness and funds for lifesaving cardiovascular research. Bill Arnold, MHA, president of the RWJBarnabas Health (RWJBH) Southern Region, will serve as chair for the American Heart Association Virtual Shoreline Heart Walk taking place this fall. This year’s goal is to raise $175,000 for cardiovascular research to prevent strokes, correct heart defects in babies and find better ways to treat high blood pressure. The walk is being held virtually to ensure the health and safety of all participants. With the pandemic keeping people at home, the American Heart Association is embracing a new approach to keep the Shoreline Heart Walk event by going virtual. Heart Walk teams will not meet in person physically, but participants will meet virtually to get moving at home or around their neighborhoods. The walk will take place 9 a.m. on Oct. 25. Participants are encouraged to share selfies and comment along the way, using #LifeIsWhyNJ. “We’re thrilled Bill Arnold is leading our 2020 campaign,” said Tara Novak, regional director, of Shoreline NJ at the American Heart Association. “With his involvement, we have the potential to reach new heights of success and community impact. We are grateful for the continued support of RWJBarnabas Health. Many of the system’s leaders serve on our boards and committees or chair events and campaigns. We know that together we can make a difference in fighting and preventing a disease that impacts so many.” “We are proud to partner with the

American Heart Association – an organization dedicated to improving heart health and reducing deaths from cardiovascular diseases and stroke,” said Arnold, who
leads the RWJBH Southern Region encompassing Community Medical Center in Toms River, Monmouth Medical Center in Long Branch, and Monmouth Medical Center in Lakewood, as well as an expansive network of primary and specialty care offices and outpatient centers in Monmouth and Ocean counties. “This year in particular, we as hospital organizations are so grateful for their help in raising awareness that when an emergency strikes, hospitals are still the safest place – even during a pandemic.” He notes that while the RWJBH Southern Region hospitals have continued to care for patients experiencing emergencies such as heart attacks and strokes throughout the COVID-19 pandemic, Emergency Department visits fell sharply during the height of the coronavirus crisis, in New Jersey and nationally as well. “That has us worried, as we know that delaying care for many conditions can lead to disability and even death, and those risks are not necessary,” he said. “We want our community to know that they are not protecting their health by staying away, they’re jeopardizing it. And the American Heart Association is helping us spread that message with their ‘Don’t Die of Doubt’ public awareness campaign that stresses the ways that hospitals are keeping people safe and urges anyone experiencing symptoms of a heart attack or stroke to not delay seeking emergency care.” The Heart Walk supports the mission of the American Heart Association and now,

more than ever, is highlighting the benefits of staying physically active. Forty percent of those hospitalized due to COVID-19 are stroke survivors or individuals with heart disease,thus the American Heart Association is investing in new research and training frontline workers, while continuing the fight against heart disease and stroke. And Arnold notes that the pandemic has introduced a new wrinkle: a striking increase in strokes among COVID-19 patients as young as their 30s and 40s, who had no stroke risk factors and no other COVID-19 symptoms. “This new risk makes it all the more important for people to act when they have symptoms of a stroke,” he said. “I urge people to pay attention to the suddenness of the symptoms, which could include confusion and severe headache, and call 911 to be taken to the hospital right away.” To register and to learn more about the Virtual Shoreline Heart Walk, visit www. shorelineheartwalk.org.
