North Brunswick officials reflect on how 2020 set the course for 2021 By JENNIFER AMATO Managing Editor
2
020 was a tough year for North Brunswick Township, aside from the tragedy surrounding the coronavirus pandemic. Councilman Bob Corbin, Police Director Kenneth McCormick and Senior Center employee Rosemarie Hansen passed away; Daniel Anderl, the son of U.S. District Judge Esther Salas, was brutally murdered in town; Court Administrator Sheral Rossmann retired; Business Administrator Kathyrn Monzo moved on to a different municipality; and on the last day of the year, Gerald Tamburro, the mayor of nearby Monroe Township, passed on. However, township officials collectively said they look forward to a more prosperous 2021, as many administrators were appointed to new positions and council members were sworn in to another term. The first Latina to join the North Brunswick Township Council, Claribel Cortes was sworn in to her first full, three-year term during the council’s reorganization meeting on Jan. 1. She had finished the term of Corbin, who passed away in March, for the remainder of 2020. She had served on the North Brunswick Board of Education since 2017, and also served one year on the Board of Trustees for Middlesex County College. “You’re the first Latina and that shows how much faith and confidence people have in you,” Ronald Rios, director of the Middlesex County Board of Commission-
ers, said during the virtual meeting. Rios was the first Latino to be elected to the council in Carteret in 1981. “What she’s going to continue to do is be a tremendous asset,” Kevin McCabe, the chairman of the Middlesex County Democratic Organization, said about Cortes during the meeting. Cortes said she is proud to lead the third most diverse town in New Jersey, whose 40,000 residents represent 14 countries speaking eight languages. She said her parents arrived in the U.S. more than 50 years ago “with $5 and a heart full of dreams.” She said she has the same perseverance her parents and grandparents did to overcome obstacles. “We are all more alike than we know,” she said, saying that everyone wants a community that thrives and future generations to reach higher heights. “Citizenship is more than just voting and paying taxes; it’s about engaging in your community.” Councilman Bob Davis was sworn into his seventh term on the board, though this was the first time in 18 years Corbin wasn’t by his side. Davis got choked up while talking about the “excellent councilman and good friend.” “I could not be more proud than to be serving with Mac [Mayor Francis “Mac” Womack] and my fellow council people. These are representatives who, like myself, put the residents of North Brunswick first and foremost. ...

“I will listen to the public no matter what their political affiliation and make sure that my decisions are predicated on the feedback we get from our residents,” Davis said. McCabe said “you can’t find a stronger advocate for a community than he,” in regards to Davis.
Councilman Carlo Socio was then elected council president for 2021. He said although the virtual meetings were quite a change during 2020, he was excited that his family from Arizona, Italy and Austria were able to log in to the meeting to see his swearing in. (Continued on page 5)
U.S. Capitol Police Officer who died during riot hails from area
U
nited States Capitol Police (USCP) Officer Brian D. Sicknick passed away due to injuries sustained while on-duty. Sicknick was responding to a riot at the U.S. Capitol on Jan. 6 and was injured while physically engaging with protesters, according to information provided by the USCP. He returned to his division office and collapsed, according to reports. He was taken to a local hospital where he suc-
cumbed to his injuries at approximately 9:30 p.m. Jan. 7. The death of Sicknick will be investigated by the Metropolitan Police Department’s Homicide Branch, the USCP and federal partners. Sicknick joined the USCP in July 2008, and most recently served in the department’s First Responder’s Unit. “USCP Officer Brian Sicknick embodied the selfless spirit of his native state,” Gov. Phil Murphy said in a prepared state-
ment. “Officer Sicknick was a product of South River and a graduate of the Middlesex County Vocational and Technical Schools. “Before joining the Capitol Police, he was Staff Sgt. Sicknick with the New Jersey Air National Guard. He was a fire team member and leader with the 108th Security Force Squadron, 108th Wing, at Joint Base McGuire-Dix-Lakehurst, and his six years of service included overseas deployments in support of Operation Southern Watch
and Operation Enduring Freedom. “Officer Sicknick gave his life protecting the United States Capitol, and by extension, our very democracy, from violent insurrection. His needless murder at the hands of a mob bent on overthrowing the Constitution he had dedicated his life to upholding is shocking. It is my fervent hope that the rioters whose actions directly contributed to his death are quickly identified and brought to justice,” Murphy said in the statement.

She attended North Brunswick public schools from Kindergarten to 12th grade, and is a 2012 graduate of North Brunswick Township High School. She

lthough the South Brunswick Police Department did not hold its annual awards ceremony during Police Week in May, due to the coronavirus pandemic, officers received awards individually at the end of December to mark their bravery and perseverance. The awards were submitted to a committee of officers for a determination of their merits. A final report was submitted to the chief of police who authorized the awards. “These officers’ actions stopped violent criminals, saved lives and enhanced our community. This has been a difficult year, but reviewing these awards just reinforces what a great department we have. I also want to thank the community members who step up year after year to make our township great,” Chief Raymond Hayducka said in a prepared statement. The 2020 awards are broken down into four categories: Exceptional Service Award, Lifesaving, Community Service/ Letter of Commendation, and Civilian Award. The awards recognize actions taken during 2019. All of the information was provided by the South Brunswick Police Department. The Exceptional Service Award recognizes the outstanding work of officers
and detectives to track down suspects, solve cases and bring justice to victims. It is the highest award given this year. Exceptional Service Award – Exploited Victims Investigation: Detective Brian Sites Detective Brian Sites investigated a series of crimes where young woman were being exploited and extorted on the internet. Sites conducted a four-month investigation that included the procurement of numerous court orders, the execution of search warrants, seizure of digital evidence and the examination of thousands of images. He coordinated with the New Jersey State Police Cyber Crime Unit and the Middlesex County Prosecutor’s Office to pursue a suspect. His investigation determined the suspect had been victimizing young women for several years. His comprehensive investigation led to the arrest and conviction of the suspect. His work brought closure to the victims and an end to the sexual exploitation. Exceptional Service Award – Dark Web Drug Operation Arrests: Lt. Jeffrey Russo Lt. Jeffrey Russo conducted a yearlong joint investigation along with the Manhattan District Attorney’s Office and the Drug Enforcement Agency into narcotics traf-
ficking over the “Dark Web.” The joint investigation concluded with the execution of multiple search warrants throughout the state of New Jersey. The investigation resulted in the largest seizure of Xanax in the state. Five subjects were arrested and charged with multiple counts of trafficking narcotics. Russo’s hard work, dedication and inter-agency coordination led to the successful conclusion of this case. Exceptional Service – Dispute Investigation: Officer Michael Urstadt Officer Michael Urstadt investigated a dispute incident on June 30 where the actor reported that he was the victim of a stabbing. The actual victim was afraid to call the police because she suffered significant abuse by the male. Urstadt’s investigation determined that the true victim in the assault was the woman and the man had staged the crime scene. The woman was treated for substantial injuries and the man was arrested. Urstadt’s diligent investigation ensured a strong evidence based prosecution. Exceptional Service Award – Fatal Hit and Run Arrest: Traffic Safety Bureau – Sgt. Gary Holsten, Officer Michael Leung, Officer Jesse Blake, Officer William Merkler The Traffic Safety Bureau responded
to a fatal hit and run motor vehicle crash on Route 535 on Aug. 8. The investigation was complex, including the processing of three separate crime scenes over a five mile area, multiple witness interviews, DNA/evidence collection and multiple search warrants. The investigation resulted in tracking down and arresting the suspect responsible for the death. The investigation demonstrated the initiative, skill and dedication. Exceptional Service – Handgun Arrest: Lt. Scott Reeves and Officer Bryan Garrison Officer Bryan Garrison responded to a report of an individual who had brandished a firearm on Aug. 13. Garrison quickly located the suspect vehicle and coordinated a high risk motor vehicle stop with other officers, removing all occupants. Lt. Scott Reeves canvassed the route the suspect vehicle had traveled, successfully recovering a loaded firearm with hollow point ammunition. The coordination of efforts led to the arrest of the actor with no injuries to the victims, suspect, bystanders or officers.

“It’s sobering to think back to what 2020 was, and it really does give everyone pause to understand the gravity of what took place and how the county, the municipalities and the state had to come together, and during extraordinarily difficult times had to galvanize, and I think Middlesex County, within a model on so many different levels, had to coalesce during a crisis,” McCabe said.

Those who come to donate blood or platelets this month will be automatically entered to win two tickets to next year’s Super Bowl LVI in Los Angeles. In addition, those who come to give Jan. 1-20 will also be automatically entered to win the Big Game at Home package for a viewing experience safely at home, with a 65-inch television and a $500 gift card to put toward food and fun. Individuals can schedule an appointment to give blood by visiting RedCrossBlood.org, using the Red Cross Blood Donor App, calling 1-800-RED-CROSS or activating the Blood Scheduling Skill for Amazon Alexa. “Blood and plasma donors who have recovered from COVID-19 may have the power to help critically ill patients currently battling the virus,” Dr. Erin Goodhue, Red Cross medical director of clinical services, said in a prepared statement. “With hospital distributions for convalescent plasma increasing about 250% since October, these generous donations are vital in helping to save lives throughout the winter – a time that is often challenging to collect enough blood products for those in need.” As COVID-19 cases have risen across the U.S., so has the need for convalescent plasma – leading to a shortage of this potentially lifesaving blood product. Like “special teams” units on the field, COVID-19 survivors have a unique ability to make a game-changing difference in the lives of COVID-19 patients. Individuals who have recovered from COVID-19 may have antibodies in their plasma that could provide a patient’s immune system the boost it needs to beat the virus. How those recovered from COVID-19 can help There are two ways COVID-19 survivors can help – through a convalescent
plasma donation or by simply giving whole blood. Plasma from whole blood donations that test positive for COVID-19 antibodies may be used to help COVID-19 patients. Health emergencies don’t pause for holidays, game days or a pandemic – blood is needed every two seconds in the U.S. to help patients battling injury and illness. Blood donation safety precautions To protect the health and safety of Red Cross staff and donors, individuals who do not feel well or who believe they may be ill with COVID-19 should postpone their donation. Each Red Cross blood drive and donation center follows the highest standards of safety and infection control, and additional precautions – including temperature checks, social distancing and face coverings for donors and staff – have been implemented to help protect the health of all those in attendance. Donors are asked to schedule an appointment prior to arriving at the drive and are required to wear a face covering or mask while at the drive, in alignment with Centers for Disease Control and Prevention public guidance. Upcoming blood donation opportunities in Middlesex County Dunellen 1/21/2021: 3 p.m. – 8 p.m., St. Francis Episcopal Church, 400 New Market Road Edison 1/19/2021: 9 a.m. – 2 p.m., American Legion Post 435, 43 Oakland Avenue Iselin 1/12/2021: 12 p.m. – 5 p.m., Woodbridge Township Ambulance & Rescue Squad, 77 Queen Street Parlin 1/30/2021: 10 a.m. – 3 p.m., Aquatic & Fitness Center, 333 Cheesequake Road Piscataway 1/6/2021: 1 p.m. – 6 p.m., Radisson Hotel Piscataway-Somerset, 21 Kingsbridge Road Plainsboro 1/22/2021: 10:30 a.m. – 3:30 p.m., Penn Medicine Princeton Medical Center, 1 Plainsboro Road South Amboy 1/11/2021: 1 p.m. – 6 p.m., South Amboy Senior Center, 108 South Stevens Avenue
