Flemming, Chisholm, Borrelli run unopposed for council

By CHARLES DAYE Staff Writer

M

artin Flemming, Steve Chisholm Jr. and Nino Borrelli are running unopposed for three four-year terms on the Jackson Township Council in the Nov. 3 general election.

Flemming and Chisholm are current members of the Township Council.

Borrelli is a current member of the Zoning Board of Adjustment.

Councilman Ken Bressi is not seeking re-election. Bressi was elected in 2012 and joined the council in January 2013. He was re-elected in 2016 and is completing his second term.

Jackson has a nonpartisan form of local government and the candidates will not run under the banner of a political party.

Flemming owns County Line Hardware in Jackson. He was appointed to the council on Jan. 2 following Rob Nixon’s resignation from the governing body in November. Flemming is seeking his first full term.

In addition to serving on the council, he is a member of the Planning Board.

Chisholm has been a resident of Jackson for more than 40 years. He works for his family business, Aspen Tree Expert Co. Chisholm was appointed to the council on June 9 following Barry Calogero’s resignation from the governing body. His ap-

pointment runs through Dec. 31.

Chisholm is seeking election to his first full term on the council.

Borrelli has lived in Jackson since 2017 and works in human resources at the New Jersey Department of Human Services as a personnel assistant in a supervisory role.

He has worked in human resources in state government for more than 15 years.

Borrelli was reappointed to the zoning board by the council in June.

Gov. Phil Murphy has said the Nov. 3 general election will be conducted primarily by mail. All registered voters in New Jersey will receive a ballot by Oct. 5.

The ballot, which is topped by the race

for president between Republican Donald Trump and Democrat Joe Biden, may be returned in one of several ways, including by mail.

According to the governor, an individual who has a disability will be permitted to vote on a machine at a polling location in their municipality on Nov. 3.

Any other individual who goes to a polling location in their municipality to vote on Nov. 3 will only be able to fill out a provisional paper ballot that will be collected by a poll worker.

Republicans on the national level have said they will challenge New Jersey’s voting plan.

New law authorizes towns, counties to issue relief bonds Gov. Phil Murphy has signed legislation (A-3791) which authorizes New Jersey’s municipalities and counties to borrow funds to cover revenue shortfalls and expenditures caused by the COVID-19 pandemic, by issuing bonds and notes.

The final legislation included improvements recommended by Murphy in his prior conditional veto issued on July 30, according to a press release from the governor’s office.

“The COVID-19 pandemic and the ensuing economic crisis has left no corner of our state untouched,” Murphy said in the press release. “In the absence of muchneeded federal assistance, this legislation will provide an important tool to New Jersey’s municipalities and counties, allowing them to have access to the funds needed to

continue serving residents.”

“Municipalities have significant fixed statutory expenses and provide essential services, which have increased as a result of the pandemic,” said Michael F. Cerra, executive director of the New Jersey State League of Municipalities.

“Meanwhile local governments are experiencing significant declines in revenue during this pandemic and for the foreseeable future, most of which will not be recaptured.

“This new law will provide needed flexibility to maintain essential services, control property taxes and address this unprecedented financial distress.

“Our thanks to the Governor and all the legislative sponsors for partnering with the League and other interested stakehold-

ers to provide this critical financial tool,” Cerra said.

“Municipalities and counties are experiencing revenue shortfalls and expense overruns due to battling COVID-19,” said Assembly Speaker Craig J. Coughlin (DMiddlesex).

“All available options, including the ability to borrow funds, must be on the table if we expect our local economies to recoup losses and strengthen post-pandemic,” Coughlin said.

“The public health and economic crises brought on by COVID-19 has turned our lives upside down and thrown government budgets around the state into deep uncertainty,” said Sen. Vin Gopal (D-Monmouth).

“This legislation will give our local and

county governments an extra tool to help us weather this crisis with as minimal an impact as possible on vital services, programs and taxpayers,” Gopal said.

In his conditional veto, Murphy recommended that borrowing would be best accomplished through existing and well established local budgetary and debt structures instead of a new, additional funding mechanism, according to the press release.

By amending local borrowing laws, the final legislation allows counties and towns to issue five-year special emergency notes for a broad swath of COVID-19 related costs. The final legislation also expands the special emergency mechanism to permit adoption of a special emergency to address certified COVID-19 related deficits in operations, according to the press release.

Intense and Hard-Charging: Kirk Douglas Kirk Douglas Didn’t Just Make Great Movies. He Made Movies Worth Watching.

By Stephen Whitty, ReMIND Magazine

T

here were plenty of terriďŹ c leading men before him. Rogues like Errol Flynn and Clark Gable. Hardboiled tough guys like Humphrey Bogart and James Cagney.

But Kirk Douglas added something new to the mix; he was really a category unto himself, as he gave us the modern movie antihero.

Other stars had been willing to be raw, rude, even dangerous onscreen. But Douglas almost single-handedly created the Hollywood antihero, guys who were in it strictly for themselves, but you cheered

for these awed characters, regardless.

You can see it right from the beginning in the classic noir Out of the Past. Made in 1947, it was only Douglas’ third movie, and he’s playing the bad guy, a supporting part. But he holds his own with a young Robert Mitchum, which is not easy to do.

And no matter how rotten Douglas’ silky gangster is, he’s so charismatic it’s impossible not to root for him, if just a little.

Champion, made in 1949, made Douglas a star. (He knew it would, too; that’s why he fought his agents to make it.) There had been boxing pictures before, but they’d always been about prizeďŹ ghters trying to stay honest. In Champion, though, it’s Douglas’ boxer who’s corrupt, willing to cross anybody to get ahead. “It was the right move,â€? he said years later, about his decision to go after the role. “It worked perfectly.â€? In fact, it earned him an Oscar nomination.

Hofstra University, Hempstead, N.Y., announced that the following area residents have been named to the provost’s list for the 2020 spring semester: Juliet Bryce of Jackson, Emily Duffy of Howell, SoďŹ a Major of Howell and Shay Yostpille of Jackson. The provost’s list recognizes students who have earned a perfect 4.0 GPA.

He didn’t win — regrettably, he never would, despite three nods — but it convinced Douglas to leave the dull, nice-guy parts to others. He played a self-destructive jazzman in Young Man With a Horn, a self-centered reporter in Ace in the Hole, a sadistic cop in Detective Story. Every role, every time, you couldn’t take your eyes off him.

He had one of his best roles in 1952’s The Bad and the Beautiful as an egotistical producer. Faithful only to the ďŹ lms he’s making, his character uses whatever, whoever it takes. By the end, he’s lost all his money and most of his friends. Yet they still ďŹ nd themselves drawn to him.

He’s impossible to like. But he’s also impossible to ignore.

Douglas was not only a top star by now, but also had become a huge inuence on other actors. William Holden revived his career playing morally exible hunks in ďŹ lms like Sunset Boulevard, Picnic and Stalag 17. Later, heartthrob Paul Newman would show his serious side playing gorgeous cads in The Hustler and Hud. The American antihero was here to stay.

Eventually, Douglas branched out, playing more traditionally sympathetic

characters, like the righteous Army ofďŹ cer in Paths of Glory.

Yet even then, they remained difďŹ cult, driven people whose favorite causes were the lost ones. The obsessed Vincent van Gogh of Lust for Life. The stubborn revolutionary in Spartacus. And, his favorite role, the fatalistic cowboy in Lonely Are the Brave. “Even when I played the hero,â€? he said, “they’re the ones who die at the end.â€?

Douglas’ career began to cool a bit in the ’70s. He had bought the rights to One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest years before and dreamed of playing the lead; by the time the project was a go, he was considered too old for the part. He turned the project over to his son, Michael, who cast Jack Nicholson instead. For Douglas, it was a major disappointment.

Yet in a way, it was sort of ďŹ tting, a passing of the torch. There was a new generation of actors coming up now — Nicholson, Al Pacino and Gene Hackman.

A new era of stars who specialized in awed, complicated people — profane sailors and bank robbers and the like.

Heroes who didn’t act like heroes.

And it was Kirk Douglas who had made it all possible.

Mutants Can Wait

By Paul Hall

A

traumatic event leads to Dani Moonstar (Blu Hunt) waking up handcuffed to a bed. But where is this teenage girl? And how did she get there?

Dani has been placed in a hospital along with a small number of young patients. Dr. Cecilia Reyes (Alice Braga) is treating all five of the residents in the hopes they will soon be released.

The other residents are obviously mutants, albeit youthful ones; they know their powers, and their treatment is all about controlling them and avoiding the potential devastation they are able to unleash on society.

Rahne (Maisie Williams), Illyana (Anya Taylor-Joy), Sam (Charlie Heaton) and Roberto (Henry Zaga) have mixed feelings about the newest resident. While they are all working to control their powers, the others are surprised to know that

Dani has no idea what kind of power she possesses.

As Dani makes friends with Rahne and enemies with Illyana, her journey of discovery begins and it soon becomes clear that this facility is more than a hospital and that the residents are not free to leave.

But what is going on, and what does the future hold for this pack of mutants? Only time will tell if they can control their powers and control their destinies.

The New Mutants is a long-anticipated movie. I can see from early on that there is something at the core of the film to be excited about. Unfortunately, it feels wholly unnecessary as a big-screen release.

Sure, there are some big action moments that are meant to scare and startle, but those sequences felt disjointed from the rest of the film. Instead of a seamless introduction to these characters, we get limited moments to explore who they are and expanded moments of the five hanging out in situations as varied as therapy sessions and late-night shenanigans.

Maisie Williams, Henry Zaga, Blu Hunt, Charlie Heaton and Anya Taylor-Joy in The New Mutants.

While the film progressed, I never felt satisfied with the amount of meaty facts revealed about the characters, their backstories and motivations. Instead there were allusions to days gone by, and a lack of detail to grab on to about who they have become.

It’s probably a good thing that I didn’t have the expectations that many had for The New Mutants. I felt disappointed by the lost opportunity to establish new characters for future generations. This film should have been an exciting and hip start for a new set of heroes, and instead

it felt like a subpar television movie that would have had me reaching for a remote if I were watching at home. I would love to endorse this film as a reason to get back into theaters, but unless you are invested in individuals within the film, it can wait.

Why wasn’t there room for one more ‘Ozark’ nominee?

Question: [Spoiler Alert] How could you watch Ozark’s “Fire Pink” episode, with Tom Pelphrey in the taxi, and not just hand him an Emmy? What are the odds he’s still alive? —Cheryl Matt Roush: Tom Pelphrey is alive and well, but I’m afraid the same can’t be said for Ben, the tragic character he played in what has to be seen as a breakthrough performance. I agree that he should have made the Emmy cut, but with multiple nominees from Succession and The Morning Show in the supporting actor category among other Emmy favorites, he wasn’t able to get traction against such high-profile competition. It’s a shame, because his arc was arguably the most powerful in Ozark‘s terrific third season.

And it’s not like the Emmy voters are ignoring Ozark, which got 18 nominations this year. This oversight stings, though, because this was his only shot. I look for-

ward to seeing what opportunities come his way after this memorable role.

Comment: Recommended companion reading for Star Trek: Below Decks: John Scalzi’s Redshirts. You can thank me later.

—Jon D Matt Roush: I’ll thank you now.

Shortly after I saw this recommendation, I downloaded it and it’s now high on my list of digital reading. Sounds like it could be even funnier than Below Decks.

Legislation supports protecting judges’ information Managing Editor

State legislation that would, if enacted into law, prohibit the posting of addresses and telephone numbers of judges and members of the law enforcement community is receiving support.

Assembly Bill A-1649, known as the Daniel Anderl Bill, is named for Anderl, the 20-year-old son of U.S. District Judge Esther Salas who was killed at his family’s North Brunswick, Middlesex County, home on July 19.

Salas’ husband, Mark Anderl, who is a criminal defense attorney, was seriously injured in the attack carried out by suspect Roy Den Hollander, who allegedly targeted the family because of his disdain for Salas and her role as a federal judge, according to reports.

Salas sits on the bench in the District of New Jersey, Newark.

In a video message Salas released after her son’s death, she said she understands judges’ decisions will be scrutinized and she said the job requires judges to make tough calls that can lead to people being angry and upset, but she said it should be hard for those who target judges to track them.

“What we cannot accept is when we are forced to live in fear of our lives,” she said in the video.

Salas said personal information like her home address and the church she attends should not be readily available on the internet. She mentioned Hollander having a “dossier” about her family.

“My son’s death cannot be in vain, which is why I am begging those in power to do something, to help my brothers and sisters on the bench. Now, more than ever, we need to identify a solution to keep the lives of federal judges private,” she said in the video.

Salas said she wants to commence a national dialogue and work collaboratively to find a solution to safeguard the privacy of federal judges.

“We can’t sit back and wait for another tragedy to strike,” she said in the video.

The bill, dated Aug. 13 and sponsored by Majority Conference Leader Annette Quijano (D-Union), prohibits individuals, state and local agencies, and businesses from posting or publishing on the internet the home addresses or unpublished home telephone numbers of judges, or state, county or municipal prosecutors regardless of whether those people are retired or in the workforce. The bill would amend a current law that already prohibits such disclosure for law enforcement officers.

Specifically, the bill makes it a crime for a person to knowingly post or publish the home address or unpublished telephone number of a judge or prosecutor, regardless of whether those people are retired or in the workforce, or their spouse or child.

If a person recklessly violates the prohibition it would be a crime of the fourth degree. A fourth degree crime is punishable by a prison term of up to 18 months, a fine of up to $10,000, or both.

If a person purposefully violates the prohibition it

would be a crime of the third degree. A third degree crime is punishable by a prison term of three to five years, a fine of up to $15,000, or both.

The bill defines “disclose” as soliciting, selling, manufacturing, giving, providing, lending, trading, mailing, delivering, transferring, publishing, distributing, circulating, disseminating, presenting, exhibiting, advertising or offering.

The bill was pre-filed for introduction in the 2018-19 session pending technical review. As reported, the bill includes the changes required by technical review, which has been performed.

North Brunswick Mayor Francis Womack spoke in support of the bill, saying, “In a recent statement, Judge Salas implored us not to let Daniel’s death be in vain.

“This terrible event should serve as a catalyst for adopting the necessary measures to ensure that members of the judiciary receive the protection and security our society owes them.

“I officially support and urge the Legislature to quickly act on A-1649. This bill prohibits the posting of the addresses and phone numbers of members of judiciary and law enforcement community without their consent.

“A-1649 is a positive step in making some of our more high-profile citizens less vulnerable to individuals and groups who would use personal information to do harm.

We have got to make every effort to protect those who protect us. Perhaps it is fitting to refer to such a measure as the Daniel Anderl Bill,” Womack said.

“ My way isn’t working.

Resources available to residents during Suicide Prevention Month HOWELL – With coronavirus-related increases being observed in anxiety, depression, suicide and substance use, September’s National Suicide Prevention Month campaign is more important than ever, according to the Howell Township Municipal Alliance.

A recent Centers for Disease Control and Prevention report revealed that 40% of United States adults said they had struggled with mental health issues or substance use issues during late June, according to the alliance.

Christa Riddle, the alliance’s coordinator, said the organization provides residents with mental health resources.

“Each September, Suicide Prevention Month efforts aim to raise public awareness of suicide prevention, education and treatment resources.

“This month and year-round, the Howell Township Municipal Alliance provides community members with mental health and suicide prevention resources and information as part of its mission to prevent substance use and to promote mental well-

being,” Riddle said.

“With suicide and mental health/substance use disorders, immediate intervention and professional assistance save lives, as does knowing, recognizing, responding to and taking seriously the warning signs of suicide, such as talking about dying or death, feeling hopeless with no reason to live, having a suicide plan, expressing great shame, feeling trapped without solutions, sharing about unbearable pain, using alcohol or drugs more often, changing daily behavior and grooming habits, giving

Mental Health First Aid outlines the steps to follow if someone seems suicidal in “How to Help Someone Who Is Suicidal.”

Riddle said it is important for individuals to be familiar with suicide prevention resources to use or share: • 911 should always be called in an immediate crisis, emergency or dangerous situation; • The National Suicide Prevention Lifeline may be reached at 800-273-8255; • The New Jersey Hopeline may be reached at 855-654-6735; • The 2ndFLOOR Youth Helpline (talk or text) may be reached at 888-222-2228; • The Crisis Text Line (text Home to 741741) is also available.

The Howell Township Municipal Alliance’s “Substance Use/Mental Health Support Services” web page at http://www. twp.howell.nj.us/540/Substance-UseMental-Health-Support-Servi provides a more comprehensive list of substance use/mental health support resources and local crisis interventionists.

Join the Facebook group Friends of the Howell Township Municipal Alliance for current information about these topics, as well as upcoming events and workshops.

The alliance, which may be reached at 732-938-4500, ext. 4012, will be bringing the Stigma Free Zone of Monmouth County to Howell to reduce mental health/substance use disorder stigmas that can prevent people from seeking assistance due to fear of judgment.

Howell council adopts ordinance targeting invasive plants

By CHARLES DAYE Staff Writer

HOWELL – Members of the Howell Township Council are trying to prevent invasive plants from becoming an issue in the community.

An invasive species is defined as a species that is non-native (or alien) to the ecosystem under consideration; and whose introduction causes or is likely to cause economic or environmental harm, or harm to human health, according to the U.S. Forest Service.

Council members recently adopted an ordinance that addresses the issue.

Invasive species addressed in the ordinance include Canadian Thistle, Eurasian Watermilfoil, Garlic Mustard, Japanese knotweed, Japanese Stiltgrass, Mile-aminute, Purple Loosestrife, Russian Olive, Water Chestnut and several types of bamboo.

Property owners are discouraged from planting those species. If an invasive species has already been planted, the property owner/occupant must confine the plant and keep it from spreading to neighboring properties. The owner/occupant may choose to, at their own cost, remove the invasive species from their property and all surrounding affected properties.

A property owner/occupant may not permit an invasive species to make its way to a neighboring property.

Joan Osborne, who chairs the Howell Environmental Commission, said the panel was not made aware of the ordinance prior to its introduction or adoption.

She said she shares the council’s concerns about invasive species and agrees reasonable measures should be taken to discourage anyone from planting them.

However, Osborne said she had an issue with the wording of the ordinance.

“Plants like bamboo can quickly crowd out and damage the viability of native species. Had the commission been afforded the opportunity to weigh in on the ordinance when it was being drafted, I would have indicated that I thought it could use some changes.

“The ordinance calls for residents to provide confinement measures to any invasive species on their properties. However, no indication of how ‘confinement’ is accomplished by a property owner is given,” she said.

“That concerns me in that the township will have a lot of discretion in what measures a resident will have to take to achieve confinement of an existing invasive species to avoid being fined.

“This (ordinance) exposes all residents to significant potential liability to pay fines and incur costs to take measures to contain a plant’s growth, with little advance direc-

tion about how it can be avoided other than not ever planting these species.

“I think the ordinance could have and should have been more explicit about what reasonable confinement measures could be required,” Osborne said.

She said she is in favor of having responsible parties involved in sharing or bearing costs for removal of invasive species when the plants go off the property of the person who caused them to be at that location.

“However, plants can be caused to grow

far from where they were planted by virtue of the wind carrying seeds. A claim that (a person’s) property was the source of an invasive species that is found to be growing at a neighbor’s property could become very expensive to disprove.

“Also, the ordinance gives the code enforcement office authority to ‘inspect’ any property for invasive species. This could potentially require any resident to allow township officials to inspect their properties,” Osborne said She said the purpose of the ordinance is

positive, but the enforcement mechanism could be problematic.

“In short, I think that while the goal is good, it creates some enforcement mechanisms that could be problematic or costly for innocent land owners.

“Hopefully that will not come to pass and the ordinance will be adjusted if such problems do occur. The best bet for anyone is to never plant these invasive species or to get rid of them before they go off your own property and cost you money,” Osborne said.

a random drive-by shooting incident, Kunz said.

John McBride has been promoted from sergeant to lieutenant. He worked for the Monmouth County Sheriff’s Office from 1997-99 before joining the Jackson Police Department.

He was a patrol officer from 1999 through 2005, also serving as a field training officer. He served as a patrol sergeant from 2005-20.

“Lt. McBride is a very proud, patriotic American, born on the 4th of July. He has been honored to serve his country at four levels of government. The federal level was with the U.S. Navy as an aviation electrician … the state level was with the New Jersey Air National Guard, holding a top secret clearance as an intelligence analyst,” Kunz said.

Frank Cipully has been promoted from police officer to sergeant. He was hired by the Jackson Police Department in August 1995.

He served in the Patrol Division from 1996 to 2003. He became a Drug Abuse Resistance Education (DARE) officer in 1998 and continues to teach anti-drug, anti-bullying, violence and gang awareness programs.

“Sgt. Cipully became a certified School Resource Officer in 2004 and was assigned to the Goetz Middle School.

“In 2006, he was assigned to the Ocean County Prosecutor’s Office Computer Crimes Task Force, helping to identify and arrest 16 child predators, and gathering enough intelligence to assist in future arrests and the prosecution of at least 20 other sexual predators,” Kunz said.

Some of Cipully’s arrests were seen on the NBC-TV show “To Catch A Predator.”

Joseph Candido has been promoted from police officer to sergeant. Following a career in finance, he became a corrections officer before being hired by the Jackson Police Department in 1999.

“His career assignments and highlights include working on the afternoon shift for the first half of his career, then moving to the day shift in the Patrol Division.

“During his 21-year career with the Jackson Police Department, Joe has been involved with the Police Explorers program and has been a field training officer, training new police academy recruits.

“For 15 years, Joe served as a traffic safety officer investigating serious and fatal motor vehicle crashes,” Kunz said.

Candido was named Jackson’s Officer of the Year in 2012.
