Jackson school board names Pormilli new superintendent
N
icole Pormilli, the assistant superintendent of schools in the Jackson School District, has been named the district’s new superintendent of schools. Pormilli will succeed Stephen Genco as superintendent. Genco is retiring at the conclusion of the 2019-20 school year. Board of Education members voted to name Pormilli superintendent on March 18 and announced the hiring in a press release issued on April 15. In a statement, the board said, “In any other reality, we would have put out advanced notice and announced this information right after the board voted at their March 18 meeting to approve (Pormilli’s) appointment. “However, in this reality of COVID-19 and its consequences, nothing about our March 18 meeting was as it should have
been. Our efforts and attention were focused on getting our students and staff set up and acclimated to remote learning plans and getting supports and services in place. “Given these pressing priorities, Mrs. Pormilli’s appointment announcement was put aside so we could focus on our students and staff. “Now, as we get ready to take a well deserved breath for spring break, we are able to take a moment to recognize this wonderful news,” the board said. According to the press release, Pormilli has had a 28-year career in education, including nine years as an assistant superintendent and 15 years of central administration experience. She is a former literacy teacher.

owell Mayor Theresa Berger said that until social distancing measures associated with the 2020 coronavirus outbreak have been discontinued, Howell cannot move forward with a planned farmer’s market. In February, Township Council members authorized property at the current municipal complex on Route 9 and the former municipal complex on Preventorium Road to be used for a farmers market. Howell Farmer’s Market Association, LLC, will organize, manage and facilitate the creation and operation of a weekly farmers market, according to officials. The issue as to when the farmers market may debut came up during the council’s
April 7 meeting. Joan Osborne, who chairs the Howell Environmental Commission, asked if the farmers market would open on May 31 as planned. Osborne asked if the association that is organizing the market should continue to recruit vendors or wait until mid-May to reassess the situation. Berger responded and said, “I believe we need to wait until we are allowed to be in a group setting. So until social distancing has stopped, we cannot move forward.” Township Manager Brian Geoghegan added, “None of us know when this (health crisis) is going to end. I would recommend the same and I would encourage (the Howell Farmer’s Market Association) to hold off on seeking additional vendors.”

Reflecting on the 50th anniversary of Earth Day
F
ifty years ago, people took to streets and campuses across America to sound the alarm on pollution and demand stronger environmental protections. The occasion was the first Earth Day on April 22, 1970, an idea conceived by U.S. Sen. Gaylord Nelson after witnessing the ecological damage caused by a massive oil spill in California the year before. Across the country, an estimated 20 million people celebrated the inaugural Earth Day by taking part in cleanups, teach-ins, lectures and peaceful demonstrations. In New Jersey, the state officially launched the Department of Environmental Protection (DEP). The journalist Peter Benchley (who went on to write “Jaws”) reported at the time, “Earth Day has accomplished what no individual or organization has been able to do in years – the unification of large and diverse segments of the American populace in common purpose.” Over the last 50 years, Earth Day has become a spring ritual, a time to teach children about the environment, plant trees and gardens, pick up litter in parks and on beaches, renew calls for environmental protection and look for ways to live more sustainably. This year, Earth Day will be a subdued occasion due to the coronavirus pandemic. Schools are closed and organized cleanups and public celebrations – like the one planned in Trenton for the DEP’s 50th anniversary – have been postponed. But it’s worth taking a moment to remember Earth Day’s roots as a common

away from fossil fuels to clean sources of energy? This would rapidly and significantly reduce the emissions that harm our health and climate. Investing in a clean energy economy would also create thousands of good, local jobs and help put people back to work. Why not focus on banning harmful chemicals worldwide, reducing all but essential plastics, conserving energy and raw materials every day, restoring forests on a massive scale and restoring soils using non-chemical agriculture? Why not take action now on climate change and climate mitigation to decrease impacts on populations most vulnerable to sea level rise, drought and famine? The COVID-19 crisis has demonstrated the critical importance of taking proactive and comprehensive measures to protect our health and our families. It is critical to protect the lands and waters that are essential to our health and quality of life, and to maintain and strengthen the laws and regulations that protect us from the harmful effects of air and water pollution. The original idea behind the first Earth Day 50 years ago still rings true today. Citizens can take action today and make sure elected officials at all levels hear this call. For our health and our planet’s health, let’s make every day Earth Day!

Judge orders board to hear Jackson Parke applications By CHARLES DAYE Staff Writer
JACKSON – A judge has ordered the Planning Board to reconsider an application that proposed the construction of housing at one location in Jackson and to move forward with a hearing on an application that proposed the construction of housing at a second location. The applicant, Jackson Parke, is seeking municipal approval to construct 1,100 residential units in the Cassville section of Jackson. There are two applications to be considered. One application proposes the construction of 551 single-family and multi-family
residences on a 226-acre tract off Perrineville Road. That application is referred to as the Jackson Parke north section and it includes 120 affordable housing units. In 2019, when a public hearing was held on the Jackson Parke north section, residents opposed the application and expressed concern about environmental issues, endangered species on or near the property, building on or near wetlands, drainage, flooding and traffic associated with hundreds of new homes. At the conclusion of the public hearing, board members denied the application for the north section.

The applicant, El At Jackson LLC, filed a lawsuit on Jan. 27 and named Jackson Township, Mayor Michael Reina, the Township Council and the Planning Board as defendants. A judge has ordered the board to reconsider the denial of the north section. Attorney Sean Gertner, who represents the board, said the panel will take up the matter on April 20. “The discussion of the litigation will be in executive session, but any decision the board makes (regarding the north section) will have to be made in public,” he said. “The judge ordered us to have a meeting … so we have to roll up our sleeves and get
it done to the best of our ability.” The April 20 meeting will be livestreamed in keeping with restrictions on large gatherings that have been imposed during the coronavirus health crisis. Gertner said if the denial of the north section remains in place, the litigation will go forward. “There is a possibility the judge will appoint a special master over any application that deals with (affordable housing). So there is a big downside,” the attorney said. A second application proposes the construction of 549 single-family and multifamily residences on a 129-acre tract off

Jackson council calls on state to restore funding to schools By CHARLES DAYE Staff Writer
JACKSON – Township Council members are urging state officials to restore funding to the Jackson School District. Council President Barry Calogero, Vice President Alex Sauickie, Councilman Andrew Kern, Councilman Ken Bressi and Councilman Martin Flemming passed a resolution on April 14 and sent it off to Trenton. The issue surrounds an ongoing loss of state aid to the Jackson School District under a 2018 law known as S-2. Beginning in the 2018-19 school year and continuing through the 2024-25 school year, Jackson will lose millions of dollars in state aid, school district administrators have said.
The Township Council has no control over the school district, but its members spoke on behalf of the community and said in the resolution that “Prior to the state of emergency (relating to the coronavirus crisis) being declared by Gov. Phil Murphy, New Jersey reallocated school funding dollars throughout the state, cutting approximately $18 million from the Jackson School District over a five-year period.� The resolution goes on to state that “the current economic crisis has resulted in thousands of residents of Jackson losing their employment and facing the potential of foreclosure and/or eviction from their primary residence. “Based upon this economic crisis as a result of the health emergency, the Jack-
son School District is in desperate need of the funding which has been previously cut prior to this health emergency; and the Township Council views the education of our children as an essential component of the quality life of Jackson, its residents and the future of its children. “The Township Council values the teachers, coaches, lunch aides and bus drivers who instruct and take care of our children, all of whom will have their jobs and programs negatively impacted by the governor’s budget cuts,� council members wrote in the resolution. Calogero added, “This is not a time for politics, this is a time for leadership. We beg you, governor, please, we need your help.�
The Jackson Board of Education has introduced a $152.6 million budget for the 2020-21 school year. Jackson is scheduled to have its state funding reduced from $46.47 million in 2019-20 to $42.99 million in 2020-21. School district administrators have said the 2020-21 budget includes reductions in several areas of the district’s operation that they attributed to the ongoing reduction in state aid. Following the introduction of the school budget, Township Council members voted to appropriate $1 million from the municipality’s surplus fund for use by the school district during the upcoming school year.
Jackson police respond to complaints at Great Adventure JACKSON – During the ongoing coronavirus pandemic, Jackson police officers have responded to reports of people trespassing on Six Flags Great Adventure property along Reed Road. On April 12 at 2:30 p.m., officers responded to Reed Road to investigate a re-
port of people along the fence line, according to a press release. The officers located members of a family riding bicycles on Reed Road, which is an unpaved township road. No one was observed at the fence line trespassing on Great Adventure property and no sum-

monses were issued. On April 16, Jackson police received information regarding two males who were seen on security cameras climbing over a fence and entering the Great Adventure safari property, where they could have come into direct contact with safari animals. The incident reportedly took place at 6 a.m. April 14 and the two individuals were inside the safari for about 30 minutes before leaving, according to the press release. Also on April 16, officers responded to a report of a suspicious vehicle on Reed Road and trespassing on the Great Adventure property. Police said a 49-yearold male was observed trespassing and
claimed he was there to see the animals. The man was issued a summons for defiant trespassing and released at the scene. In a message posted on social media, the Jackson Police Department wrote, “We recommend that residents observe the Governor’s executive orders and stay at home, but if you do go outside, please remember to socially distance yourself from others. “If going out, please do not trespass onto Great Adventure property (or any others), as the park is closed at this time. There will be additional patrols in the area and officers will investigate and evaluate each instance independently ‌ and complaints will be signed when warranted.â€?

The south section application is listed on the board’s April 20 agenda for a public hearing. The lawsuit that was filed by El At Jackson LLC listed four counts against the defendants: • The first count cited the board’s arbitrary, capricious and unreasonable denial of a fully conforming site plan and subdivision application for the Jackson Parke north section, and an unwarranted refusal to act within a statutorily mandated time
for the Jackson Parke south section; • The second count cited a failure to comply with court orders, justifying the appointment of a special hearing officer to hear applications for the north section and the south section and all associated applications for board approval and relief, and to recommend decisions, by report to the court or a special master; • The third count cited deprivation of due process and equal protection of the law, and the temporary taking of property without compensation; • The fourth count cited the violation of conditions of court orders affirming compliance and granting repose and immunity from builder’s remedy litigation.

Council president: Use National Guard to enforce pandemic rules By CHARLES DAYE Staff Writer
JACKSON – Township Council President Barry Calogero is calling on Gov. Phil Murphy to use the National Guard to enforce social guidelines that have been put in place during the coronavirus pandemic, but which the Jackson official asserts are being disregarded. Calogero addressed the situation during the council’s April 14 meeting. “This is a time of great concern and uncertainty, we are all worried about the health and welfare of ourselves and our loved ones. We are concerned about our jobs, the economy and life as a whole. “Several weeks ago we were enjoying the greatest economy, certainly during my life. In a few short weeks we have had our world turned upside down. This is a time for reflection and counting our blessings. “This is a time to follow direction and laws. This is a time to come together and be united. We have all been affected in one way or another,” Calogero said. The council president said he has not seen his only grandchild in several weeks as he follows state and federal directives that urge people to stay at home, to travel only if necessary and to practice social distancing. “It breaks my heart not to be able to hug and kiss her, but I understand and respect the law put in place to protect us and put an end to this invisible enemy,” Calogero said.
DATEBOOK • Join Rutgers Cooperative Extension of Ocean County and learn more about tick identification, tick borne diseases, tick testing information and proper tick removal. This free presentation will be offered virtually through WebEx on May 7 from 6-7:30 p.m. Registration is required. Call 732349-1246 or email tbecker@co.ocean.nj.us by May 4 to register for this program. • Due to the coronavirus pandemic, the Monmouth County Retired Educators Association Jubilee event scheduled for June has been cancelled. The event may be rescheduled for December. MCREA members are asked to watch for details on the association’s website and Facebook page, or in the newsletter. • In response to the COVID-19 situation, DeBows United Methodist Church, Jackson, is offering online worship. Individuals may join the congregation online at debows.online.church every Sunday at 9:30 a.m. Visit www.debowsumc.org for more information.
“Unfortunately, not everyone has followed the law of the land. Unfortunately, there are groups of people who hide behind cultures and religious beliefs who put themselves, our first responders and quite honestly all of Jackson and bordering towns at risk for their selfishness, irresponsibility and inability to follow the law put in place by President (Donald) Trump and Gov. Murphy. “This is a global pandemic. New York and New Jersey are the epicenter for this killer virus with over 230,000 people in-
fected and 12,500 deaths between our two states as a result. How in God’s name can civilized people disrespect their neighbors and orders from the President and the Governor?” Calogero asked. “With a saddened heart, I implore Gov. Murphy to set aside politics and to use his power and authority to call out the National Guard to enforce the law and protect Ocean County from those who cannot seem to follow our laws. “This is not a time for politics, it is a time for leadership. This is not about cap-
turing bloc votes, this is about life and death, Governor, please, do the right thing and enforce the law of the land,” Calogero said. Council members unanimously passed a resolution supporting executive orders that impose financial penalties on individuals who willfully refuse to comply with guidelines relating to social, political and religious gatherings during the ongoing health emergency. “This is life and death people, follow the rules,” Calogero said.

Jane Goodall shares reasons for hope in new Nat Geo documentary By Taylor Neumann
N
ational Geographic’s new documentary, Jane Goodall: The Hope, airing Wednesday, follows the current exploits of one of the world’s most beloved figures, the animal expert and humanitarian Dr. Jane Goodall. Made famous through her studies of chimpanzees, Goodall now spearheads programs for children across the world to learn about and better understand the world around them. We caught up with Goodall at home in the U.K. to ask about her illustrious life and what she hopes she will be remembered for. Where did your love of animals come from? I was born with it. It didn’t come from anywhere; it came in my package. There was no passionate animal lover in my family at all. It was just me and a very supportive mother who didn’t get angry
when she found worms in my bed when I was one-and-a-half [years old]. That sort of thing. Your mother had to accompany you when you first began your studies. What was that like? Well, Louis Leakey managed to get the money for me to do six months, but then the second problem was the British authorities in Tanzania — which was Tanganyika back then, part of the crumbling British empire — absolutely refused for me to go alone, so the person who volunteered to come was Mum. … She organized the clinic, which really started my super relationship with all of the local people from miles around. She wasn’t a doctor or a nurse, but she had simple aspirins and bandages and Epsom salts and things like that. When you first started studying the chimps in the ’60s, technology was a lot
different. How would you communicate your findings from the field? Pen and ink written on sheet. That’s all I had, a pair of old binoculars and the tiny notebooks I took in the field, and I transcribed them with a hurricane lamp in the evening. What’s a time you remember when you were the most scared? Well, it wasn’t very nice when I got a message from one of my helpers. He came up to find me in the mountains, and he said that 20 young men from the nearby village had come and cut down all the trees all around my tent — they wanted me to go away. They felt that I was taking land away from them, which wasn’t true; it was already a game reserve. They expected to find me in the camp because it was 6 in the morning, but I used to leave at 5:30 to be up there when it was light. What do you most want to be remembered for? When I got to Cambridge in 1961, I was told by the professors that I shouldn’t have given the chimps names. They should have had numbers that were scientific, and I couldn’t talk about personality, mind or emotions because those were unique to [humans]. But I’d already learned as a child, [when] I had a wonderful teacher who taught me that that absolutely wasn’t true, and that was my dog. Of course, you can’t share your life with an animal and not know that we’re not the only being on the planet with personality,
mind and emotion. … Gradually science was forced to think in a less reductionist way. And today students can study personality, mind and emotion. So I think that was a major accomplishment, and the fact that I’m obstinate and wouldn’t give in to the accepted norm. And the other [accomplishment] has been starting our youth program, Roots & Shoots.
Can you explain a little more about Roots & Shoots? It began in 1991 because I was finding, as I traveled around the world, [that] there were so many young people who didn’t seem to have much hope for the future, and all around the world they told me that we’d compromised their future and there was nothing they could do about it. We’re still stealing it today, the way we’re damaging the environment, climate change and all the rest of it. But I didn’t agree there was nothing they could do. So Roots & Shoots began with 12 secondary school students in Tanzania and the main message [is] every single one of us makes some impact on the planet every single day. So that program is now in 65 countries around the world. … There will always be some who want to help animals, some who want to help people, some who want to help the environment. And they get together, they discuss it, they work out what they can do, then they roll up their sleeves and go and take action. It’s all about taking action.

Howell authorizes acceptance of partial tax payments By CHARLES DAYE Staff Writer
HOWELL – The members of the Township Council have authorized Howell’s tax collector to accept less than 100% of the amount due on a property owner’s May 1 tax payment, but not to accept less than the full amount of interest due. Mayor Theresa Berger, Deputy Mayor Evelyn O’Donnell, Councilman John Bonevich, Councilwoman Pamela Richmond and Councilman Thomas Russo passed a resolution on April 7 which authorizes the tax collector to accept a partial payment of property taxes.
The governing body’s action only applies to property owners who pay their property taxes directly to Howell. The action does not apply to individuals whose property taxes are paid through a mortgage. Township Manager Brian Geoghegan said Howell’s tax collector was working to address the issue of partial property tax payments prior to the coronavirus pandemic that has left many people out of work and in difficult financial straits. “This (action) may lend some relief to our taxpayers … This was an issue of differing philosophies between (a previous) tax collector and the (current) tax collector, where people can make a partial property
tax payment if they are able to do so. Interest would have to be paid in full and that gets paid up front,” Geoghegan said. He elaborated on the council’s action and said, “Apparently, a previous tax collector was of the opinion that the township should only accept full payment (of property taxes). “The new tax collector is of a different opinion, that if a person is only able to make a partial payment they should be allowed to do so. “This issue was actually brought up prior to the COVID-19 issue, however, the timing could not be better. … The state regulates tax collection deadlines and the
municipality may not deviate from those deadlines. “As of (April 15), there has been no change to the (May 1) due date enacted. Therefore, if a taxpayer finds himself with a need to do so, this (partial payment) option is now available. “This option would apply to people who pay their taxes directly to the township and do not pay their property taxes through their mortgage,” Geoghegan said. For more information, call the tax collector’s office at 732-938-4090.
