Howell will ask utilities board to order reduction in Altice’s fees By CHARLES DAYE Staff Writer

he Howell Township Council will ask the New Jersey Board of Public Utilities (BPU) to order a reduction in service charges for residents who pay for services provided by Optimum/Altice because of what ofﬁcials assert is the company’s failure to provide adequate and proper service. Mayor Theresa Berger, Deputy Mayor Evelyn O’Donnell and Councilman John Bonevich voted “yes” on a motion to pass a resolution during the council’s Oct. 20 meeting. “If we tell (Altice) we don’t want to pay

the fee they are charging, maybe they will understand how disappointed our community is,” O’Donnell said. “We are moving forward, we deﬁnitely have to work on the service. I am lucky I am on Verizon or I would cut out right now,” Bonevich said. Councilman Thomas Russo abstained from voting because his wife works for News 12 (Altice). Councilwoman Pamela Richmond was absent from the meeting. The resolution states that Howell ofﬁcials “have been inundated with complaints from residents regarding inadequate service provided by its cable provider, Optimum/Altice, USA.”

“These complaints existed prior to the COVID-19 pandemic and have only been exacerbated as a result of the failure of this cable provider to provide adequate and proper service to this community; and the township has gone so far as to establish on its website a direct link to Altice so residents can voice their comments, complaints and concerns directly to the cable provider,” ofﬁcials said in the resolution. According to the resolution, only Verizon and Altice/Cablevision have franchises in Howell, as approved by the BPU, and Verizon’s service is not available throughout Howell, meaning Altice/Cablevision faces little to no competition for its servic-

es, even when customers have complaints; and that municipal officials have contacted Altice to complain about the services being provided to residents. Regarding children who are receiving school lessons at home and the additional number of residents who are working from home due to the COVID-19 health crisis, Howell officials said, “the inadequate service provided by Altice has interrupted the education of our youth and the ability of our residents to earn a living.” Township Manager Brian Geoghegan said Howell officials met with Altice representatives.

‘Joker’ turns from comedy to horror, writing latest thriller from home By JENNIFER AMATO Managing Editor

t may not be impossible to spot one of your favorite Tenderloins in the greater Princeton area. James S. “Murr” Murray, one of the stars of “Impractical Jokers” and “The Misery Index” on truTV, moved to Princeton last fall with his fiancee. “[We’re] absolutely loving it,” Murr said. “My fiancée and I are huge fans of Witherspoon Grill. If it were up to us, we would be there every night. “Having lived in New York City my entire life, it’s been wonderful to get out, finally breathe fresh air, and hike and kayak in the area. “Staten Island was a great place to grow up – and that’s where I met my fellow Impractical Jokers – but Princeton is a great place to create our new life together and one day raise kids together.” Although Murr is best known for his comedic acts and stunts on the popular truTV practical joke show, he said he got his degree in writing from Georgetown University and always dreamed of becoming an author one day. “The success of ‘Impractical Jokers’ finally gave me the chance to start my alternate career as a novelist. Writing and improvisation are equally difficult, surprising and rewarding. But both represent my personality equally well. It’s all about affecting people in a fun, positive way through creativity of all kinds,” he said. Murr said he grew up reading and watching thrillers, “so it was kind of a natural progression for my writing to spring from that early interest.” He said he enjoys “The Meg” by Steve Alten, “The Andromeda Strain” by Michael Crichton, and is a personal fan of R.L. Stine and Brad Meltzer. They always say, “Write what you know” Murr said about delving into a career in horror writing. His newest thriller, “Don’t Move,” was released on Oct. 20 – after being written from his home in Princeton. He also recorded the audiobook from there.

Megan Forrester has barely survived the unthinkable. Six months ago, she witnessed a horrific accident that killed her husband and son, and lives with the guilt of knowing she could have done more to save them. Now, Megan hopes to mend the pieces of her broken spirit by attending a local church group’s annual camping trip. But the church group members — riddled with dark secrets of their own — make a catastrophic navigational mistake, leaving them stranded in an untouched canyon in the West Virginian national forest. Isolated from any chance of help or rescue, Megan and the others quickly realize why this side of the canyon has never been surveyed by mankind: it’s home to a terrifying prehistoric arachnid that patiently stalks its prey through even the slightest movement or vibration in the forest. And it’s desperate for a meal. Grief-stricken and haunted by her tragic loss, Megan now faces her ultimate test of endurance. Can she outwit a bloodthirsty creature hellbent on ensuring that no one gets out alive? When a single wrong turn can mean

James “Murr” Murray PHOTO COURTESY OF WUNDERKIND PR

death, she only has one option: DON’T MOVE. “I’m lucky enough to work with a wonderfully charming and British co-author named Darren Wearmouth. We also happen to be very close friends so we’re constantly calling each other to talk about our favorite scary movies or whatever we’ve watched that week,” Murr said. “Both of our imaginations can run pretty wild, so we’ll start kicking around a few ideas. ‘Don’t Move’ was born out of one of those. It took us three months to write the entire book, which is a testament to just how well we work together. “Our earlier series, the ‘Awakened’ trilogy, is a much larger world of characters and combines hordes of bloodthirsty monsters and evil international conspiracies. ‘Don’t Move’ is one contained story. It’s much more like a classic, old school 1980s

slasher movie. It’s all action and tension. “And coming next year is another thriller – written right here in Princeton as well – called ‘The Stowaway,’ ” Murr said. His advice for anyone pursuing a career in writing or publishing, or comedy or acting, starts with: Never quit. “When the guys and I were first starting out, trying to get the show off the ground, the first network executive we met with said we weren’t ready for TV. “The next executive we met with told us were too old for TV, meaning we must have missed that sweet spot when we were absolutely perfect for TV. “Ten years later, we’re still going. The point is, don’t let anyone else limit or define your success. Always keep doing the things you love and one day, it will pay off,” Murr said. Through the challenge that is the COVID-19 pandemic, Murr said he is trying to cope as best as possible. “Well, just like everyone else, it’s been tough adjusting to this new world. We’ve found some comfort in raising money for charities and frontline workers who are out there keeping people healthy. Melyssa and I are lucky that we’ve had all this extra time for planning our wedding! “As for the Jokers, we’ve been filming a new TV show from home called ‘Impractical Jokers: Dinner Party.’ And we finally went back to work filming ‘Impractical Jokers’ as well. Thankfully, because I missed my friends dearly,” he said. Murray is a writer, executive producer and actor, best known as “Murr” on the hit television show Impractical Jokers along with his comedy troupe, The Tenderloins. He has worked as the senior vice president of development for NorthSouth Productions for over a decade and is the owner of Impractical Productions, LLC. He recently starred in “Impractical Jokers: The Movie,” and also appears alongside the rest of The Tenderloins, and Jameela Jamil, in the television series “The Misery Index” on TBS.

Candidate responds to opponent’s claims during Howell race By CHARLES DAYE Staff Writer

HOWELL – The Republican candidate for Howell Township Council has responded to a statement that was made by her Democratic opponent who was quoted in a recent Tri-Town News article. Republican Evelyn O’Donnell and Democrat Andre de Garmeaux are seeking one available four-year term on the Township Council in the November 2020 election.

O’Donnell is seeking her second term and de Garmeaux is seeking his first term on the governing body. In a recent article profiling the candidates, de Garmeaux said O’Donnell was a member of the council in March 2017 when the governing body signed off on a private company’s plan to construct a solid waste transfer station on Randolph Road. Howell officials later reversed their position regarding the proposed facility and the matter is awaiting action by the Monmouth County freeholders.

de Garmeaux said Howell ofﬁcials must do everything they can to stop the solid waste transfer station from being constructed in Howell. Regarding tax incentives that are given to developers in certain instances, de Garmeaux said those incentives are not fair. He cited an instance in which he said Republicans approved a $6 million tax break for a developer. O’Donnell, who was not immediately available to respond to de Garmeaux, responded to those comments this week and

said, “The (solid waste transfer station) has never and will never come to the Township Council for a vote. “I, nor any council member, ever approved that project … Howell does not get a vote. It is unfortunate that a previous (township manager) mailed a letter to the county (regarding the proposed facility) without the council ever seeing or approving the letter. “As errors are sometimes made, that letter became the genesis for the Democratic mantra today. Stopping that project has always been a common goal by all,” O’Donnell said. Regarding tax incentives that may be offered to a developer in certain instances, she said de Garmeaux “assumes the Payment in Lieu of Taxes (PILOT) program is an enormous tax break or that no money is paid to Howell at all. “He says that while the PILOT program exists, Howell sees no money. The fact is Howell receives about 95% of the money paid and Howell is not required to pay other entities from that revenue. “Also, (in the development cited), the developer’s project gave 144 credits toward our Democratic-mandated number of affordable housing rooftops, as it was a double credit. To achieve 144 credits we would need to build well over 700 rooftops. “So by the Democratic logic it would have been better to build over 700 rooftops? How absurd. That density will not be built because Republicans found a better way: 74 apartments instead of over 700 rooftops,” O’Donnell said.

“I was a little disappointed they were trying to pass the blame to a lot of the residents. Understandably, with everyone being at home, (Altice’s) network is being overloaded, however, that is no excuse and residents are still paying for the service,” he said. Geoghegan said Altice employees are investigating the complaints to see if there are “pockets” in Howell where a higher number of complaints are originating. He said more than 600 complaints have been received regarding the company’s service. The township manager said Howell officials are discussing the possible expansion of Verizon’s Fios network in the community and he said the company’s representatives have been receptive to that possibility. Berger asked if Altice’s representatives have offered to update their system in Howell. “The infrastructure needs to be updated dramatically,” the mayor said. Geoghegan said municipal officials are trying to get the company to update its infrastructure. He said Altice’s employees are looking at where the problems are so they can establish priorities for updating the system. Attorney Andrew Bayer, who is a special counsel for the township, said Howell has an ordinance that sets forth the terms by which Altice has a franchise in the community. Bayer said efforts are being made to obtain additional benefits from Altice that are not currently included in the franchise agreement. He said Verizon is before the BPU because the company has an area of Howell where it has exclusive rights to provide service. “Verizon doesn’t require an approval through a municipal ordinance in terms of its status before the BPU,” Bayer said.

Howell reopens parks after shutdown in wake of virus spike By CHARLES DAYE Staff Writer

HOWELL – All of the parks in Howell that are operated by the municipality have been reopened and are permitted to be used at full capacity. The parks and playground equipment reopened on Oct. 15 after having been closed on Oct. 6. The parks were closed because of a recent uptick in coronavirus cases in the region and because complaints were being received that the parks were ﬁlled to

capacity and that people were not following social distancing guidelines, municipal ofﬁcials said at the time. Victor Cook, the coordinator of Howell’s Ofﬁce of Emergency Management, has reported that all of the equipment in the municipal parks was cleaned during the time the facilities were closed. “A plan was quickly rolled out to phase in usage again after all playground equipment and high-touch areas were sanitized,” Township Manager Brian Geoghegan said.

Howell Department of Public Works employees were assisted by employees from the Lakewood Department of Public Works in getting the parks ready to reopen. During the Oct. 20 meeting of the Township Council, resident Kathi Novak commended municipal ofﬁcials for handling the situation in the manner they did. She asked what ofﬁcials were doing to prevent the same situation from reoccurring. Geoghegan said he is hoping people learned from the situation and will be a

little bit wiser in their future use of the parks. He said efforts have been made to reach out to Lakewood to inform residents of that neighboring town whose residents visit Howell’s parks. Responding to a suggestion that has been made at various times by some individuals, Geoghegan said it it is illegal for Howell officials to restrict the use of the township’s parks to residents. “It is completely illegal for us to do that. Other towns have tried that and have lost significant lawsuits, so that is not an option despite what a lot of residents seem to think,” he said. Novak said park rules and regulations need to be enforced. She said Monmouth County parks have park rangers stationed at a location, but noted it is not possible to station Howell police officers at municipal parks. “I am asking you as the township manager to do something in the future for our parks and I am not suggesting you keep people out. I want to let everyone in, that is who I am, but I also want people to respect our parks,” Novak said. Geoghegan said it was not an easy to make the decision to close the parks. He again noted that complaints had been received about what was occurring in terms of the number of people at the facilities and the lack of social distancing.

Early Breast Cancer Diagnosis Saves Lives By Rachel P. Dultz, M.D., F.A.C.S. During their lifetime, 1 in 8 women will be diagnosed with invasive breast cancer, according to the American Cancer Society, and 1 in 39 will die from the disease. However, most women can survive breast cancer if it is found and treated early. In fact, there are more than 3.5 million breast cancer survivors in the United States today, according to the American Cancer Society. Getting regular screening tests is the most reliable way to ďŹ nd breast cancer early. Non-urgent care at the Penn Medicine Princeton Medical Center Breast Health

Center was temporarily postponed several months ago due to COVID-19. Routine screenings and diagnostic mammograms have resumed, with extensive protocols in place to help ensure patient safety at this time. Understanding the Risks Although many women who develop breast cancer have no risk factors, there are certain factors that increase your chances of developing the disease. Further, incidents of breast cancer increase with age. Other risk factors include: â&#x20AC;˘ A history of breast conditions or prior breast cancer diagnosis â&#x20AC;˘ A family history of breast cancer, par-

ticularly at a young age â&#x20AC;˘ Beginning menstruation at an early age â&#x20AC;˘ Entering menopause at a later age â&#x20AC;˘ Having a child late in life or never being pregnant â&#x20AC;˘ Undergoing post-menopausal hormone therapy Screening Recommendations When women should begin regular mammograms and how often they should have them is a complex issue. Recommendations for how early mammograms should begin and how frequently you should be screened depend on your personal and family history as well as your age.

The American College of Radiology, for one, recommends a screening mammography every year for women who are at average risk for breast cancer beginning at age 40. In general, it is thought that screening should continue annually as long as a woman is in good health, regardless of age. It is important, however, to talk with your doctor about screening and what is appropriate for you. For screening purposes, a woman is considered to be at average risk if she doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have a personal history of breast cancer, a strong family history of breast cancer, or a genetic mutation known to

Howell gridders seek more consistency during 2020 campaign By STEVEN BASSIN Staff Writer

HOWELL – The Howell High School football team is under new leadership in 2020 as former Red Bank Catholic High School coach Frank Edgerly has taken the reigns of the program. Through learning a new system and dealing with the challenges of the coronavirus, the Rebels (1-3) have shown promise through their first four games. “The effort from our players has been there all season, but execution and taking advantage of opportunities are things we still need to work on,” Edgerly said. It has been tough sledding for the Rebels since they scored their first victory under Edgerly in a 13-7 win over Manalapan on Oct. 9. Since defeating the Braves, the Rebels have lost to Colts Neck, 21-7, on Oct. 17, and to Freehold, 33-13, on Oct. 23. Going up against the Colonials on Senior Night on Oct. 23, the Rebels fought back from an early deficit. Staring at fourth and 13 on the Freehold 23 early in the second quarter, junior quarterback J.T. Goodman floated a perfect pass to Timmy Zaccaria that the senior wide receiver took to the end zone to tie the score, 6-6. It was Goodman’s third touchdown pass of the season. Goodman and senior Hunter Lino each have a team-high four touchdowns. Freehold answered Howell’s score on the first play of its next possession when Sha’Kim Shuler hooked up with Yah-Sin Calhoun for a 64-yard touchdown to regain the lead. The Colonials scored two more touch-

downs to take a 26-6 lead into the half. The 20-point deficit proved to be too much for Howell to overcome as Freehold rolled to its third victory of the season. “We have to block and tackle better. We have to take advantage of opportunities when they present themselves,” Edgerly said. “It’s a work in progress. We have to continue to work.” Edgerly was pleased with the effort of his defense in holding Freehold’s explosive offense in check during the second half. Howell’s touchdown drive at the end of the game was another bright spot in Edgerly’s eyes. The coach was impressed with plays that were made by some of the team’s younger players, especially sophomore wide receiver Jack Garenstein and junior running back Conner Gordon. Garenstein made two catches for first downs on the team’s final drive of the contest, and Gordon finished the drive with a 20-yard touchdown run. “To see these guys get out there in a varsity game and perform well is very encouraging,” Edgerly said. Howell will play at Marlboro High School on Oct. 31. Edgerly said consistency needs to be his players’ primary focus going into the contest against the Mustangs, along with continuing to follow what they have leaned on while playing football during a pandemic. “It’s two things. No. 1, control what we can control, and No. 2, do your job. That’s all we can do right now. So much of it is out of our control, but the opportunities we do have, no different than in a game, we have to take advantage of,” the coach said.

Legendary harness driver dies

STEVEN BASSIN/STAFF

Howell High School quarterback J.T. Goodman looks for an open receiver downfield during the Rebels’ football game against Freehold High School on Oct. 23 in Howell.

Harold Kelly, 85, a harness racing driver who was a ﬁxture at Freehold Raceway for a half-century, died on Oct. 19. According to an obituary posted online by the Higgins Memorial Home, Freehold Borough, Kelly was a native of western Pennsylvania. Kelly began his professional driving career in 1951 at the age of 16. He raced at tracks in western Pennsylvania and in Ohio before moving to New Jersey in 1955. His career spanned more than 60 years and in 1993, Kelly was inducted into the Jersey Shore Sports Hall of Fame. According to information posted on harnessracing.com, Kelly drove more than

4,500 winners with $19.3 million in purses in his career. Kelly was at or near the top of the drivers’ standings at Freehold Raceway from the mid-1950s through the mid-1990s. He won his ﬁrst of several driving titles at the venerable harness track in 1960. Kelly’s best season for winners was 1987 when he collected 292. His best year for earnings came in 1988 when he drove horses that won $1.96 million, according to harnessracing.com Kelly retired from driving in 2002 and Freehold Raceway, his home track for almost 50 years, honored him with Harold Kelly Day.

Princeton professor discovers clues to Alzheimer’s; wins scientific prize

rinceton University’s Clifford Brangwynne has won America’s largest unrestricted scientific prize for his discovery that upends previous understandings of the internal organization of cells. Brangwynne, a chemical and biological engineering professor, has been named the 2020 Blavatnik National Awards for Young Scientists Laureate in Life Sciences. He will receive $250,000, the largest unrestricted scientific prize offered to America’s most-promising young faculty level scientific researchers. Brangwynne’s award-winning Clifford Brangwynne work is based on the clues to Alzheimer’s disease and ALS revealed in the physics of cells, according to the New York Academy of Sciences and the Blavatnik Family Foundation, which jointly issued the award. Brangwynne discovered that inside cells, biomolecules can merge to form liquid-like droplets that allow for the local-ization and compartmentalization of molecular interactions. The ability of these droplets to smoothly fuse and separate is critical for cell division and the development of embryos. Errors in this physical property may result in the formation of solid structures, such as the tangles and fibers found in Alzheimer’s disease, which can cause

cell damage and death, according to the information provided. Brangwynne’s background in materials science and soft matter physics enabled the discovery and understanding of how these condensates form through liquidliquid phase separation and how condensates function in cells, according to the information. He was a postdoctoral researcher for the Max Planck Institute for Molecular Cell Biology and Genetics and the Max Planck Institute for Physics of Complex Systems in Germany. Brangwynne received his doctorate from Harvard University, Cambridge, Mass., and his Bachelor of Science from Carnegie Mellon University, Pittsburgh, Pa. He is also an investigator for the Howard Hughes Medical Institute, focusing on molecular and cellular biology. Since Brangwynne’s discovery, labs throughout the world have discovered new types of membrane-less condensates, as well as the repercussions of related pathological phase transitions, according to the statement. Improper phase separation can lead to neurodegenerative diseases. For example, when biomolecules within these droplets are unable to separate, they can form stiff fibers and tangles that cause neuronal damage found in Alzheimer’s disease. “It is a tremendous honor to be chosen as a Blavatnik National Awards Laureate. The recognition of this new field at the interface of cell biology and soft matter physics inspires my lab to continue breaking the barriers separating scientific disciplines,” Brangwynne said in the statement.

Linda Blair From Possession To Philanthropy By Taylor Neumann, ReMIND Magazine

inda Blair was born Jan. 22, 1959, in St. Louis. Blair began appearing in commercials at age 5. She continued to do commercials despite developing a love for horses and a desire to grow up and be a veterinarian. By the time she was 12, she had appeared on the soap opera Hidden Faces (1968-69) as well as the ﬁlms The Way We Live Now (1970) and The Sporting Club (1971). Blair told her mother she was ready to retire from child acting to focus on her animal dreams; however, her mother told her she had a few jobs to ﬁnish before

that could happen. One of those jobs was the movie The Exorcist (1973), where Blair played possessed child Regan. The film was a huge success internationally, earning Blair a Golden Globe and an Academy Award nomination. Many people couldn’t separate the actress from the character, causing some to be terrified of her or ask inappropriate questions about death, Catholicism and God. Blair also received death threats. Her next role was in the controversial TV movie Born Innocent (1974), where she played a sexually abused runaway teenager opposite Kim Hunter. Blair followed this up with another dramatic role in Sarah T. — Portrait of a Teenage Alcoholic (1975), and starred in Sweet Hostage (1975) with Martin Sheen and Victory at Entebbe (1976) with Elizabeth Taylor and Anthony Hopkins. Blair again took up the mantle of Regan in the Exorcist sequel Exorcist II: The Heretic (1977), which failed at the box office and, at the time, was the most expensive picture ever made by Warner Bros. Studios. It was also around this time that Blair, then 18, was arrested for drug possession. After making the

film, Blair took a year off from acting to compete with her first love, horses, on the equestrian circuit. But it was in 1979 when Blair’s career took another turn, this time into sex symbol territory. She starred in the musical drama Roller Boogie and followed that with a number of low-budget films including Hell Night (1981), Chained Heat (1983) and Savage Streets (1984). In 1997, she again decided to try something new with her career, pivoting to Broadway to play Rizzo in a revival of Grease. She also hosted Scariest Places on Earth on FOX Family from 2000-06 and guest-starred on a 2006 episode of Supernatural. Her personal life had just as much variety as her acting life: She dated singer Rick Springfield at age 15 and later had relationships with Deep Purple bassist Glenn Hughes, Styx guitarist Tommy Shaw, actor Wings Hauser and musician Rick James, who wrote his song “Cold Blooded” about her. Today, Blair has returned to her animal-loving roots and is active in her own foundation, the Linda Blair Worldheart Foundation, which rescues abandoned and abused animals.

Will the networks plan out their shows better? Question: Streaming shows’ entire seasons are plotted out and written in advance before even being ﬁlmed. Meanwhile, broadcast network shows seem to be written more on the ﬂy, rarely even a few episodes in advance. Do you think that more network shows have taken advantage of the COVID hiatus to have more scripts written ahead of time with more cohesive stories? —Mike Matt Roush: The simple answer is yes, although even while virtual writers’ rooms were able to bank more scripts ahead of time during the long production hiatus, the producers were also forced to rethink how their shows would be written and produced going forward: fewer crowd scenes, less ambitious set pieces, etc. And I’d argue a few of your assumptions. While regular network episodic TV is produced closer to air than streaming

series, which generally must finish an entire season before the show can premiere, even network series typically have seasonlong bibles with story arcs and character development thought out well in advance. The network production model does allow for more flexibility should certain stories and characters pop or flop as cameras roll. So I’m not sure the streaming model is always an advantage for a series when it’s produced in a bubble until the entire season is already finished.

Alliance to host youth mental health first aid certification training HOWELL – The Howell Township Municipal Alliance for substance use prevention and mental health awareness will host a youth mental health first aid certification training session at the Howell municipal building, 4567 Route 9 North, second floor, from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. Nov. 7. Alliance Coordinator Christa Riddle said, “This groundbreaking eight-hour training gives people the tools to identify when youths might be struggling with a mental health or substance use problem and to connect them with appropriate support and resources when necessary.”

According to a press release from Riddle, although one in five Americans has a mental illness, people of all ages are reluctant to seek help due to fear of stigmas or because they may not know where to turn for care. For friends and family members, it can be hard to know when and how to step in. Riddle said mental health first aid training prepares participants to confidently interact with a person who is experiencing a mental health crisis. Chuck Ingoglial, president and CEO of the National Council for Behavioral

Health, which helped bring mental health first aid to the United States in 2008, said, “Through this program, we hope to take the fear and hesitation out of starting conversations about mental health and substance use problems. When more people are equipped with the tools they need to start a dialogue, more people can get the help they may need.” Riddle said the Howell Alliance has hosted several mental health first aid training sessions to date and has certified more than 70 community members and professionals.

To register for the Nov. 7 youth mental health ﬁrst aid training session, visit Eventbrite at https://www.eventbrite.com/e/ youth-mental-health-first-aid-certificatetraining-tickets-116545589997 Participants must wear a face covering and bring their own food and drinks for the day. The registration fee is $30 and includes a training manual. For more information, contact Christa Riddle by email at criddle@twp.howell.nj.us or call 732-9384500, ext. 4012.

Our success this season is rooted in their dedication and Monmouth Park is better off because of Angelo,” Drazin said. The Monmouth Park meet that ran from July 3 to Sept. 27 consisted of 36 racing days after one live card was lost due to weather. The Meadowlands at Monmouth Park meet in October provided an additional eight days of racing after one was canceled to weather as well. The 2019 racing season was 68 days, according to the press release. The track operated with attendance restrictions throughout the 2020 season under COVID-19 guidelines. Opening day was delayed from its original starting date of May 2 to July 3 due to the coronavirus, with the racing calendar reduced from 56 days to 37 as a result. Thoroughbred racing is set to return to New Jersey next spring, according to the press release.

Howell mayor: State should investigate proposed project By CHARLES DAYE Staff Writer

HOWELL – Democratic Mayor Theresa Berger, who is seeking a second fouryear term, is asking New Jersey Attorney General Gurbir S. Grewal to investigate issues involving a solid waste transfer station a private company wants to construct in Howell. Berger made her request to Grewal public in an Oct. 13 press release. Resource Engineering is seeking to have its proposal to establish a solid waste transfer station at 34 Randolph Road, Howell, included in Monmouth County’s Solid Waste Management Plan. The company’s proposal has been at the county level for several years awaiting formal action. Resource Engineering filed legal action against the all-Republican Monmouth County Board of Freeholders in August, claiming the board has failed to act on its proposal in a timely manner. Berger and Howell Democratic Councilman John Bonevich are asking Grewal to stop any action or approvals by the freeholders until an investigation into the matter can be completed. Berger and Bonevich, the two Democrats on the five-person Township Council, claim the establishment of a solid waste transfer station on Randolph Road would have an adverse impact on the community in terms of traffic, noise and pollution. Berger said she has requested the release of documents related to the proposed facility and claimed the freeholders “are intentionally hiding information” about the project.

NEWSPAPER MEDIA GROUP • www.centraljersey.com

“I have no choice but to seek the assistance of the Attorney General to compel the release of what should be public information,” she said. The principals of Resource Engineering are family members of a former Republican Monmouth County clerk. Berger and Bonevich suggest in their letter to Grewal that “political influence might be at play” in the matter. Asked for a comment, Howell Republican mayoral candidate Suzanne Brennan said she opposes the establishment of a solid waste transfer station at the Randolph Road location. “I am personally against the expansion proposed at that location and I deeply respect the residents’ concerns as well, so I will absolutely fight it. It is my understanding, however, that the matter is in litigation and I am not privy to the details of that action,” Brennan told the Tri-Town News. She questioned the timing of Berger’s request for an investigation into the matter. “What I do find interesting is that the mayor waited until a few weeks before Election Day to dig into this issue. The timing seems a bit disingenuous. Regardless, I oppose any expansion at the site and if I am elected mayor, I will lead the fight on this and on all matters that impact our town,” Brennan said. A spokesman in Grewal’s office told the Tri-Town News on Oct. 16 he could not confirm the receipt of a letter from Berger requesting an investigation. The spokesman did not respond to an Oct. 21 email asking if the mayor’s letter had been received.
