Old Bridge students call for change to end racism By KATHY CHANG Staff Writer

he three Old Bridge High School students who led a peaceful protest and rally in the township didn’t know George Floyd, but felt strongly enough about the events surrounding his death in Minneapolis to want to take a stand. Floyd, an African American man, died after Minneapolis Police Department Offi-

cer Derek Chauvin, a white man, knelt on his neck for more than eight minutes after pinning him to the ground during an arrest on May 25. Chauvin was charged with second-degree murder on May 29. Three other officers, Tou Thao, Thomas Lane and J. Alexander Kueng, were charged with aiding and abetting Floyd’s murder on June 3. With the support of Old Bridge Schools Superintendent David Cittadino, the students stood and spoke loudly as they led

mid the ongoing coronavirus pandemic, the Sayreville School District will see the total amount of state aid it was promised for the 2020-21 school year reduced by $2.3 million. In February, district administrators were told by state officials the district would receive $31.4 million for the 202021 school year. Using that amount, administrators crafted a $108.4 million budget that was adopted by the Board of Education on May 5. However, on May 29, state officials announced that as a result of the financial impact the 2020 coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic was having on New Jersey’s finances, state aid to schools for the upcoming academic year was being revised. Sayrevillle now expects to receive $29.1 million in state aid for the 2020-21 school year. During the 2019-20 school year, the district received $28 million in state aid. The school district’s state aid has increased each year since the enactment of state legislation known as S-2 in 2018. “When we received the governor’s report on the financial condition of the state 2020-21 budget on May 22, we anticipated our $2.3 million dollar cut in state aid,” Superintendent of Schools Richard Labbe said. “While we were naturally disappointed when the NJDOE [New Jersey Department of Education] confirmed this cut with us last week, we clearly understand and respect the reasons for it. “Nonetheless, we will be collaborating with our staff and Board of Education over the next several days to make the necessary

Lakeridge community in Old Bridge ran marathon for first responders, food bank By KATHY CHANG Staff Writer

esidents of the Lakeridge community in Old Bridge laced up their sneakers to run a marathon around their neighborhood, all for a good cause. “We are a close-knit community of 350 houses and are all friendly,” Old Bridge Ward 2 Councilman Erik DePalma said. DePalma said in a discussion with Ed Hussey and his wife Kim, the idea of the marathon began after observing more and more neighbors exercising in the neighborhood. The marathon was held on April 25 to raise money for the Old Bridge Food Bank and first responders. DePalma said neighbors – in a safe manner – participated in many ways, whether it was run as a tag team or run individually. “I’ve always wanted to do a marathon,” he said of the opportunity. And 26.2 miles and almost six hours later, DePalma completed his first marathon. “The community effort was phenomenal,” he said. The community raised more than $2,000 and coordinated with Giusseppe’s Pizza on Route 516, which helped distribute funds to frontline heroes at the COVID-19 testing center at the PNC Bank Arts Center in Holmdel and buy supplies for first responders and non-perishable food items for the Old Bridge Food Bank.

Sayreville landfill site to be preserved; borough will be reimbursed By MATTHEW SOCKOL Staff Writer

SAYREVILLE – Following litigation over a former landfill site on Jernee Mill Road, officials in Sayreville have authorized a consent judgement and contribution agreement that will preserve the property through a conservation easement and see the borough reimbursed by $373,505. On May 26, the Borough Council adopted an ordinance authorizing the execution of the consent judgement and contribution agreement in connection with litigation that the New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection (DEP) filed against various chemical manufacturers in New Jersey Superior Court over the former Sayreville Landfill on Jernee Mill Road. As stated in the ordinance, Sayreville

was named as a third-party defendant by the manufacturers. According to information provided by the United States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), the borough owned and operated the landfill from 1970 to its closure in 1977. The landfill was licensed to receive municipal waste and light industrial waste, but hazardous waste was allegedly disposed of during operations and after its 1977 closure. In 1983, it was placed on the U.S. Superfund program’s National Priorities List by the EPA due to numerous chemicals being found on the site. The consent judgement states that the DEP initiated a complaint against the defendants in 2007 seeking reimbursement of the costs incurred and will incur to remedi-

ate the former landfill, including damages for any natural state resource that was or will be affected by the discharge of hazardous substances and pollutants at the property. The DEP also sought reimbursement for the costs to close the landfill, as well as impacts by the disposal of solid wastes on natural state resources. The manufacturers denied liability, according to the consent judgement, and some filed third-party complaints against Sayreville and other parties, seeking contribution and indemnification for any costs and damages for which they would be held liable under the complaint. According to the consent judgement, the settling defendants do not admit any liability arising from the transactions and occurrences that the DEP alleges in the

complaint and/or that the third-party plaintiffs allege in the third-party complaint filed. The ordinance states that the DEP will dismiss with prejudice all of the claims in the complaint. As part of the consent judgement, Sayreville will preserve about 24.15 acres of the landfill by granting a conservation easement to the DEP, according to the ordinance. The defendants will also reimburse $373,505 to Sayreville for their share of the value of the property being conserved by the borough. The defendants, excluding Sayreville, will reimburse the DEP $32,989 in natural resource damage assessment costs and attorneys fees incurred by the DEP in the consent judgement, according to the ordinance.

Superintendent offers ‘hopeful optimism’ as school budget adopted in Old Bridge

By KATHY CHANG

Staff Writer

chools Superintendent David Cittadino expressed “hopeful optimism” as school officials moved to approve the 2020-21 budget. “We know the revenue generated by the state has taken a hit during COVID-19,” he said. “It’s with hopeful optimism that this budget and state aid will remain the same as we move into the summer.” Cittadino said the 2020-21 school year will bring a lot of unknowns and uncertainties out of their control. The Old Bridge Board of Education (BOE) adopted the $152.32 million operation budget, an increase of $1.6 million from the 2019-20 budget at a meeting on May 5. Cittadino said while the 2020-21 budget maintains all existing programs, he said there would be “very little” shifting of personnel as they look forward to the next school year. The budget is supported by the collection of a $104.95 million tax levy from the township’s residential and commercial property owners. The school district’s 2019-20 budget totaled $150.72 million and was supported by the collection of $102.89 million in a local tax levy.

For 2020-21, the school district tax rate is increasing by $0.0399 cents to $3.02 per $100 of assessed valuation. District administrators said for the owner of a home assessed at the township average of $152,500, school taxes will increase by $60.83 per year, or $5.07 a month, from 2019-20, which saw a $126.33 school tax increase. The amount of school taxes an individual pays is determined by the assessed value of his home and/or property and the tax rate that is set by the school district. The budget includes the use of $1.09 million in extraordinary aid, which officials said goes towards special education costs, $1.48 million from capital reserves, $450,000 in maintenance and emergency reserve, and $500,000 from the Cheesequake lease agreement with the Sayreville Board of Education. School Business Administrator Joseph Marra said the lease agreement is a piece of good news for the district. The Old Bridge BOE approved a 10-year shared services agreement with Sayreville for the lease of the Cheesequake Elementary School in February. The school on Route 34 closed its doors last school year as part of the budget reductions in the 2019-20 school year. The Sayreville BOE will lease the

school at an annual rent of $500,000 over a 10-year period – July 1, 2020, through June 30, 2030. Sayreville Schools Superintendent Richard Labbe had said the district is going to use the building to educate about 320 preschool students. Marra said ratables in the township, which also influence the tax rate, has increased by $21.09 million. The largest drivers of the budget are program costs, 51.89%, employee benefits, 20.52% and maintenance and operations at 10.70%. The budget supports eight projects totaling $1.48 million. The projects include upgrades to the TV Studio production, computer infrastructure upgrades, sidewalk, curb replacements, boiler at Cooper Elementary, public address system at Carl Sandburg Middle School, hydroponics lab at Old Bridge High School, lighting system at the Ellen McDermott Grade Nine Center, and HVAC (heating, ventilation, airconditioning) unit at Miller Elementary, Marra said. The budget also supports the purchase of three buses and ongoing technology infrastructure upgrades. The district is expected to receive a $3.87 million reduction in state aid for the 2020-21 budget following Gov. Phil Murphy’s revamp of the School Funding

Formula, which was approved by the NewB Jersey Senate and the House of Represen-M tatives on July 21, 2018. Last year, the district saw a $3 million reduction in state aid with $42,209,527. Old Bridge Township Public Schools will receive an approximate $12 millionw reduction in state aid over the next sevena years, from approximately $45 million toc $33 million according to the S-2 Schoolt Funding Formula. The news of the reduction in state aidm last school year left the district reeling,a with officials calling the reduction “irre-v sponsible” and “detrimental” for its stu-m C dents. Since 2008, enrollment in Old BridgeE schools has decreased about 1,000 students. As of Oct. 15, 2019, the district’st a enrollment totaled 8,466. BOE members praised the Old Bridges Township Public School District admin-C istration for their efforts to not repeat the grim reductions of the 2019-20 school bud-T get, which saw the closure of Cheesequaket Elementary School and the cut of 85 posi-p t tions. “The budget proves the district can do more with less,” said Board member Rich-p ard Dunn calling the budget a fair deal form p district students and the taxpayer. t g

DEP’s denial of permits for pipeline hailed in region

By MARK ROSMAN

Managing Editor

ocal elected officials and representatives of environmental groups continued to share their pleasure this week with recent decisions in New Jersey and New York that scuttled plans for the construction of a 23-mile-long pipeline through Raritan Bay to Rockaway, N.Y. In mid-May, the New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection (DEP) and the New York State Department of Environmental Conservation rejected a permit application submitted by the Williams Company to build the Northeast Supply Enhancement (NESE) project. In addition to constructing a pipeline through the Raritan Bay, the company was also proposing to construct a compressor station in Franklin Township, Somerset County. The Williams Company operates the Transco pipeline, a 10,000-mile interstate transmission pipeline system that transports much of the natural gas consumed in the northeastern United States. The system includes more than 50 compressor facilities and currently features more than 500 miles of pipe and five compressor facilities in New Jersey, according to information provided by Williams regarding NESE. NESE was a proposed $1 billion enhancement of existing Transco infrastructure in Pennsylvania, New Jersey and New York. Laura Creekmur, vice president of communications and corporate social responsibility for Williams, said, “We are disappointed with the decisions … to deny the NESE permits. While we continue to believe in the fundamentals of this project, we will not re-file in New Jersey or New York at this time.” Cindy Zipf, executive director of Clean Ocean Action, said, “NESE is finally dead in the water. Three cheers for the hard work of the coalition on both sides of the ocean in the New York-New Jersey region, and the thousands of citizens who rallied to stop NESE. “We salute Gov. (Phil) Murphy and the DEP for recognizing this project would have devastated the environment, and is and will always be UN-NESE-SARY,” Zipf said. Peter Blair, policy attorney for Clean Ocean Action, said, “In a sweeping victory for the environment, New Jersey doubled down on its commitment to a clean energy future by denying crucial permits for NESE. “If approved, the project would have resulted in drastic environmental damage and locked the region into decades of continued reliance on climate-altering fracked

gas. This denial is a tremendous win, future-proofing our environment for generations to come. We applaud the leadership of Gov. Murphy and the DEP,” Blair said. Citizens for Informed Land Use (CILU), which is based in Holmdel, said, “For all CILU members who attended rallies sponsored by Clean Ocean Action, wrote letters to the governor or called his office to oppose this project, for those who shared emails or Facebook posts or told friends about this issue, we thank you. “This was a significant win for the people of New Jersey. While a Williams

spokesperson said they would not file an appeal, it is possible they could pursue further legal action. CILU will remain vigilant to protect our natural resources,” the organization said in a statement. On its website, CILU says it “promotes thoughtful land use decisions, the protection of our natural resources and a government based on open communication with an informed electorate.” Officials in Old Bridge and Keyport could not be reached by press time.

crowd also chanted the names of those who have recently been allegedly killed along with Floyd, including Breonna Taylor, who was fatally shot by police in Louisville, Kentucky, in March; and Ahmaud Arbery, a black man, who was allegedly killed by a white father and son as he was running through their Georgia neighborhood in February. Many people who attended the peaceful protest and rally held signs, which read “Rest in Power George Floyd,” “Black

Lives Matter,” “End Racism,” “White Silence is Violence,” “End Systemic Racism and Police Brutality,” “Stop Killing Us,” and “Racism is a Pandemic Too.” Cittadino said in a social media post after the peaceful protest and rally, he was “proud of their student organizers and community for championing a rally for change to end racism in the shadow of the alleged murder of George Floyd and countless others. “The speakers were poignant and powerful,” he said. “The event spread peace and love.” Cittadino, in a video message prior to the event, said the three Old Bridge High School students reached out to educators

and the police department ahead of the rally. “Everyone in this community should celebrate that these students came forward asking ‘join us, help us, work with us because that is all we want’,” he had said, adding they would stand with the students and allow them to be heard. Members of Old Bridge Policemen’s Benevolent Association (PBA) Local 127, in a social media post, thanked all of their loyal friends and supporters. “Be assured that we will continue to perform our jobs as police officers with the utmost respect and integrity which we have always done,” the post said. “We will continue to be there for each and everyone

Saint Helena School Exceeds Anticipated Expectations 2018 National

Blue Ribbon

During Virtual Learning Directive.

2018 National

Blue Ribbon

Administration and teachers began researching early on how teachers could effectively reach students in a virtual platform. “…although there were many options available to teach virtually, Zoom proved to be the most effective for us.” “Not only did they offer their services for free, they also upgraded their security to help ensure student privacy,” said Sister Charles Wienckoski, Principal. SHS students are able to experience a “regular school day,” beginning at 8:30 am and ending at 2:00 pm with time for lunch. All classes from Kindergarten to 8th Grade meet for a regularly scheduled day including special classes such as Art, Physical Education and Health, Library, and Music. In addition, students participate in “after school” clubs like Crocheting, Virtual Walking, scavenger hunts, Bingo, Escape Club, and Sign Language Club with more afterschool activities being planned. “We even hold movie and campfire nights for some of the grades,” said 6th grade homeroom teacher, Cyndie Phillips. Parents are an important part of this process and biweekly parent meetings are held virtually to discuss successes as well as challenges. It’s also another way for teachers to explain and clarify future assignments and projects. “Our Catholic identity is not ignored,” said Father Anthony, Pastor. Students pray the Chaplet of Divine Mercy on Wednesday afternoons at 3:00 and participate in reciting the Rosary – all virtually. As a Blue Ribbon School, Saint Helena’s is always striving for ways to effectively reach students. Right from the start of the Pandemic the administration ensured that each student had some form of technology to use that effectively interacted with virtual lessons. If no technology was available or if there were multiple students in a family, Google Chromebooks were provided by the school. PreK-3 and PreK 4 participate in virtual classes as well. Plans are already in motion for the possibility of a resurgence of this virus in the Fall. Teachers and administration meet weekly to discuss how they can better serve the school community now and, in the future. Interested in finding our more about Saint Helena School?

Vacant gas station will transform into ice cream parlor on Route 9 By KATHY CHANG Staff Writer

OLD BRIDGE – As township officials continue to review the township code and land development ordinances, applications sometimes pop up to remind officials why it’s important to review existing ordinances. That is what happened with an application for an ice cream parlor in a community commercial (CC) zone at 2203 Route 9 north. The application was presented at a township Zoning Board of Adjustment meeting on May 7. “This is a pretty typical community commercial zone type of development,” said Peter H. Klouser, attorney for Song Ming Lee, owner of the property. “However, the [township’s] ordinance did not include ice cream parlors [while] quick serve [establishments] and sale of dairy products [in a retail store for home preparation] are permitted.” Veena Sawant, township planner, said for the last two years, township officials have revised ordinances in the economic development opportunity zones and changed permitted uses to the commercial neighborhood (CN) zones through amended ordinances to make them more flexible and create a more friendly-business atmosphere. The township has also taken steps to make sure there is a balance between business-friendly and quality of life for residents with 24-hour businesses in the township. “The CC zone is next to evaluate,” she said, noting she was a bit “embarrassed and surprised” when it was brought to her attention an ice cream parlor was not a permitted use in the CC zone. Dan Bloch, planner at Maser Consulting in Red Bank for the applicant, said an ice cream parlor is a less intense use compared to the existing gas station site. He said the ice cream parlor will promote a visually desirable and attractive use and it is more in line with the retail in the area. Members of the Zoning Board of Adjustment approved the proposed ice cream parlor, Sweet Dynasty, for the site. The property, which is currently a vacant gas station and Tiger Mart, is just past the

ShopRite on Route 9 north. Klouser said the owner proposes to renovate and rehabilitate the site, which has been vacant since 2012. A few years ago a Tim Hortons establishment had been proposed for the site, but officials said it fell through. The Tiger Mart building, which is still on site, will transform into a 1,375-squarefoot ice cream parlor with the intention to make and sell ice cream as well as drinks on site for the entire year, weather permitting. The establishment will open seven days a week from noon to 10 p.m. with shorter hours on Sunday, and a loading truck will make deliveries in the morning before the establishment opens, according to Lena Barone, design engineer for the site. The site contains an existing parking lot that is in need of repair. The applicant proposes 33 parking spaces, an enclosed refuse area, new landscaping and LED lighting on the site, Barone said. Patrons can access and exit the property from Route 9 north and there is a connection from the ShopRite parking lot. Board member Leon Scogno expressed concern with the traffic coming from the parking lot connection with ShopRite. Board attorney requested Klouser for a copy of a cross access agreement. Randall Barranger, traffic engineer for the site, said they anticipate 98 total trips to and from the ice cream parlor. At high peak demand, he expects 24 of the 33 parking spaces used. Barranger said in his profession, interior free flow has been preferred and supported by the New Jersey Department of Transportation. There is no proposed indoor seating, and only three proposed areas of tables and benches outside the parlor, which is estimated to seat up to 20 people. Nicole Shapiro, director of Community Development and township engineer, requested the applicant provide more lighting for the outdoor seating areas for the evening hours. Lee, who owns another ice cream parlor in New York, added she would provide cameras for surveillance of her property. Board President James B. Sullivan said the ice cream parlor is positive for the township and he is happy to see the site repurposed after so many years.
