Berger holds lead in bid for second term as mayor By MARK ROSMAN Managing Editor

emocrat Theresa Berger, who is completing a four-year term as Howell’s mayor, is leading in her attempt to win a second four-year term as mayor that will run from Jan. 1, 2021 to Dec. 31, 2024. According to unofficial results posted on the Monmouth County Clerk’s Office website, as of Nov. 9, Berger was leading Republican Suzanne Brennan by a count of 15,082 votes to 12,755 votes in the race for mayor. Mail-in ballots that are received by Nov. 10 and provisional ballots that were cast at Howell’s polling locations on Nov. 3 will be counted this week and added to the total. The election results are unofficial until they are certified. Berger, in an interview published in the Tri-Town News prior to the election, said her top priority “is to stop the building. If we plan properly, we can control overdevelopment.” She also said she would support hiring additional police officers and that she would work “to preserve Howell’s subur-

ban character.” Brennan, in an interview published in the Tri-Town News prior to the election, said she has four areas she considers immediate priorities: holding the line on taxes; enhancing public safety; stopping what she said is unnecessary development; and working to make Howell more business friendly. She said municipal ofﬁcials “need to responsibly boost our commercial tax base to relieve the burden on homeowners and use technology to create operational improvements in how we provide services to residents.” Brennan said she would work “to protect farms and open space and have the toughest zoning standards to stop largescale development.” In the race for one four-year term on the Township Council, Berger’s running mate, Andre de Garmeaux, was leading Brennan’s running mate, Republican Councilwoman Evelyn O’Donnell, by a count of 13,758 votes to 13,664 votes as of Nov. 9. de Garmeaux is seeking his ﬁrst term on Howell’s governing body and O’Donnell is seeking her second term.

artin Flemming, Steve Chisholm Jr. and Nino Borrelli are headed to victory in an uncontested race for three four-year terms on the Jackson Township Council. The three men ran unopposed in the Nov. 3 election. As of Nov. 9, results posted on the Ocean County Clerk’s Ofﬁce website show Flemming with 19,812 votes, Borrelli with 19,680 votes and Chisholm with 19,213 votes. The results of the election are unofﬁcial. Additional mail-in ballots and provisional ballots that were cast at Jackson’s polling locations on Nov. 3 will be counted

this week. The results will remain unofficial until they are certified. Flemming and Chisholm are current members of the council. Borrelli is a current member of the township’s Zoning Board of Adjustment. In interviews published in the TriTown News prior to the election, all three candidates said they want to acquire and preserve additional open space in Jackson. Flemming was appointed to the council in January to fill an open seat and was seeking his first full term. He said he believes the highest priority for council members is to conserve as much open space as possible without affecting tax rates. Chisholm was appointed to the council

Harnessing the power of nature to address climate change

any of us love huge old trees. Their beauty, size and feeling of the passing of time leave us in awe. But they also contribute to life on this planet and make it livable for humans and so many incredible life forms. But they also absorb harmful carbon dioxide from the air and release oxygen. The carbon is stored, or sequestered, in the wood of the tree’s trunk, branches and roots, and in its leaves and the organic components of soil. With the advent of a rapidly changing climate, the ability of trees and forests to sequester carbon is getting some attention in this state we’re in. A new report on the state’s climate change response by the New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection (DEP) is highlighting the role of natural solutions – that is, using the power of nature – as a key strategy in addressing climate issues. The 80x50 refers to the state’s target of reducing carbon emissions 80% from 2006 levels by 2050. The state’s Global Warming Response Act requires the DEP to track emissions with respect to the target, lay out a strategy and adopt measures to ensure the targets are met. The 200-page report describes various carbon reduction strategies for transportation, electricity generation, homes, commercial businesses and industry. But it also focuses on the need to protect and enhance the amount of carbon

Proposed innovations include adopting carbon sequestration criteria as part of the Community Based Deer Management Plans and expanding deer population management tools on private forest lands. Carbon defense, which is protecting carbon already sequestered in forests, especially via selective thinning in the Pine Barrens to prevent catastrophic losses due to insect infestations and wildfires, can also promote rare species. Protecting existing forests through carbon defense and growing new forests and healing soil with a carbon offensive strategy can “deliver significant reductions in New Jersey’s net carbon emissions costeffectively,” according to the report. The report concludes that natural solutions have the potential to increase carbon sequestration in the landscape by 33% by 2050. The state can’t meet its 2050 emissions targets without them.

Freeholders will assist special needs schools, expand CARES Act grant programs The Monmouth County Board of Freeholders has announced the expansion of the Monmouth County CARES Economic Assistance Grant Program and assistance for special needs schools. During a press conference, Freeholder Director Thomas A. Arnone said Monmouth County is allocating federal CARES Act funding to vocational schools and to schools that educate individuals who have special needs. “There are some things that cannot be taught virtually, including culinary arts, biotechnology and health care. “Because of the critical need for handson learning, the county vocational schools have worked tirelessly to safely return students to the classroom. To assist them in this endeavor, the county will be allocat-

ing $500 per full time student and $250 per share time student,” he said. “We are also going to be allocating $500 per student to the 10 special needs schools in Monmouth County in order to help enhance their education. “The students and families in these schools rely heavily on structure and so the schools have had to dedicate their efforts to ﬁgure out how to bring them into the schools safely. “These students have worked so hard to get where they are today and we will do everything we can to help these schools keep their students in their classrooms with their favorite teachers and peers,” Arnone said. Arnone also gave updates about “The Show Must Go On in Monmouth!” and the Monmouth County CARES Economic As-

I am happy to say all of the performing arts organizations in Monmouth County that we know of have been contacted. If any performing arts company has not been contacted, please contact the Monmouth County administrator’s ofﬁce,” Arnone said. “Additionally, I am excited to announce we are expanding the Monmouth County CARES Economic Assistance Grant Program and allowing small businesses to apply for an additional $10,000, for a total of up to $20,000 in grant money. “Any small business that has already applied and submitted expenses in excess of $20,000 does not need to do anything,

To apply for a grant, the owner of a small business may visit www.Monmouth CountyCares.com or call 732-375-2196, Monday through Friday, 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. “We have now approved more than 2,100 applications and dispersed nearly $18 million.

Jackson voters appear to have approved open space tax increase Managing Editor

JACKSON – Residents in Jackson are having their say on a public question regarding a proposed increase in the township’s open space tax rate. The public question asking residents if they want to increase Jackson’s open space tax rate from 2 cents per $100 of equalized valuation to 3 cents per $100 of equalized valuation was on the Nov. 3 ballot. According to unofficial results posted by the Ocean County Clerk’s Office, as of Nov. 9, 15,519 residents had voted “yes” and 11,769 residents had voted “no” on the proposed increase. The results of the public question will remain unofficial until they are certified. An explanatory statement on the ballot said, “In 2001, the voters of Jackson authorized the establishment of the township’s Open Space Trust Fund and the imposition of an open space tax equal to 1.5 cents per $100 of equalized valuation. “In 2004, the voters of Jackson authorized the increase of the open space tax to 3 cents per $100 of equalized valuation. “The (open space) tax is currently collected at the rate of 2 cents per $100 of

equalized valuation and a ‘yes’ vote on this question would reconfirm the wishes of the township’s voters to provide for an open space tax at the rate of 3 cents per $100 of equalized valuation while permitting these funds to be used for the acquisition, development, maintenance, preservation and payment of debt service for conservation, recreation, farmland and historic properties and structures. The increase would fund additional acquisitions and improvements of open space by the township.” Commenting on the apparent passage of the ballot question in Jackson, Jeff Tittel, the director of the New Jersey Sierra Club, said, “The people have spoken and they want to protect and preserve their open space. … This is critically important because many towns … have already succumbed to destructive overdevelopment. “One of the best ways to stop inappropriate development and protect (a town) from sprawl is by increasing open space funds. Protecting open space means less traffic, less water pollution and flooding. It also helps protect the character of the town, the taxpayers, and the quality of life. “Jackson is one of the places where overdevelopment is happening the fastest. … Increasing open space funds will help

(the town) save money. They won’t have to spend as much for services or upgrading and investing in new infrastructure. “Protecting open space means (the town) won’t be spending that money on building schools or improving roads and trafﬁc lights. Open space funds help towns control their future,” Tittel said. With an open space tax rate of 2 cents per $100 in place, the owner of a home that is assessed at $250,000 currently pays $50 per year in an open space tax. The owner

of a home assessed at $350,000 pays $70 per year. The owner of a home assessed at $450,000 pays $90 per year. If the open space tax rate is increased to 3 cents per $100, the owner of a home that is assessed at $250,000 would pay $75 per year in an open space tax. The owner of a home assessed at $350,000 would pay $105 per year. The owner of a home assessed at $450,000 would pay $135 per year.

Jackson Memorial girls soccer team enjoying winning campaign By STEVEN BASSIN Staff Writer

There has been no stopping the Jackson Memorial High School girls soccer team during the last four weeks. Since starting the 2020 season with a 2-1 record, the Jaguars have not lost a match. Jackson Memorial is 8-0-1 in its last nine matches, which includes eight straight wins that have lifted the Jaguars to a record of 10-1-1 going into the last week of the regular season. “The girls are a great group to work with,” Coach Sean Bayha said. “They have been working hard since the second week of July. We have always talked about just getting better as the season goes on. They are playing their best soccer right now and it’s the best time of year to be doing that.” The Jaguars completed a two-game sweep of Toms River South High School on Nov. 5 in Toms River to win their eighth consecutive match. Behind a two-goal performance by senior Hannah Reese and solid defense, Jackson Memorial rolled to a 3-0 victory. Senior Lauren Dellegrippo opened the scoring in the 14th minute when she jumped on a loose ball in the box and rocketed a shot to the top left corner of the net for her fifth goal of the season to give Jackson Memorial a 1-0 lead. “It came right at me and I had to shoot it,” Dellegrippo said. “I just knew it was powerful enough to go in.” Coming into the match encouraged by her coaches to be more aggressive offensively, Reese heard what they said loud and clear and had an offensive mindset when she stepped onto the field. The senior scored her first goal of the night with just under 13 minutes remaining in the first half to give the Jaguars a 2-0 lead. When the ball was tapped back to her 20 yards from the Indians’ goal, Reese did not think about dribbling and instead took a shot on net. It was the right decision as Reese boomed a looping shot over the goalkeeper’s head and into the net for her sixth goal of the season. Reese displayed her power again in the second half on a free kick from 25 yards.

Although she is not known for taking free kicks, Reese told a teammate she wanted to take the kick and made sure she put everything she had into it. The senior ripped a powerful shot over the head of the goalkeeper to clinch her team’s second 3-0 victory over Toms River South in two days. “Over the summer I really focused on taking free kicks because I usually don’t do that for my team and I wanted to do it more this season,” Reese said. “I just wanted that opportunity to do it. I nailed it and it went in.” In the Jaguars’ last three matches, Reese has scored five goals. She leads the team with seven goals. Junior Victoria Pungello leads the team in assists with four and has scored four goals. Senior Madison Faulkner has scored four goals and has dished out two assists. “This season is just so special because you never know what each week is going to bring because of the coronavirus,” Reese said. “Each game you have to play with heart and passion. It’s just special to see my team come together as a family and play together. We have great team chemistry.” Freshman goalkeeper Riley Miller had six saves in the second win over Toms River South to help Jackson Memorial claim its sixth shutout victory. Prior to the Nov. 5 match, the Jaguars learned they had earned the No. 3 seed in Group F of the Central East Regional for the upcoming state playoffs. Reese said the players are happy about where they have been seeded and believe they have a good shot at winning the group. Although no official state champions will be crowned this season because of the coronavirus pandemic, Bayha said he believes that if the Jaguars run the table in Group F, that performance will count as a state title to the program. The coach feels the same way about a Shore Conference division title if Jackson Memorial finishes first in the A South Division. Toms River North leads the division entering the final week of the regular season. “If we win, we win,” Bayha said. “We are in a state bracket and we want to win

that bracket. To me that’s winning a state title. We are constantly getting better. As we have gotten to the end of the year, you are starting to see things click on the ﬁeld. We are really conﬁdent going forward.”

Jackson Memorial will face Brick Township twice before hosting Monroe Township High School in the quarterﬁnals of the Central East Regional Group F tournament on Nov. 18.

“We are constantly getting better. As we have gotten to end of the year, you are starting to see things click on the field. We are really confident going forward.” — Sean Bayha, Jackson Memorial soccer coach

Freehold man admits animal cruelty in death of puppies A Freehold resident has pleaded guilty to charges of animal cruelty and admitted his neglect caused the deaths of four German Shepard puppies in his care, Monmouth County Prosecutor Christopher J. Gramiccioni announced on Nov. 5. Daniel McDonald, 26, pleaded guilty to four counts of third degree animal cruelty before state Superior Court Judge Vincent N. Falcetano Jr., sitting in Freehold, according to a press release from the Monmouth County Prosecutor’s Ofﬁce. The charges are related to the deaths of four German Shepherd puppies that were found dead on a property in Howell where he was temporarily residing. McDonald also pleaded guilty to third degree receiving stolen property after admitting he was in possession of a John Deere front end loader that had been reported stolen out of Monroe Township, according to the press release. McDonald is scheduled to return for sentencing on Jan. 8. In accordance with his plea agreement, the sentencing recom-

He said a priority would be “to control spending since we don’t know how the economy is going to react after COVID-19.” Borrelli was seeking his first term on council. He said that as a member of the governing body, he would work to stand with Jackson’s police officers and first responders, and to continue providing those individuals with the resources they need to do their jobs to keep the town safe, and to protect the quality of life in the municipality. Jackson has a nonpartisan form of local government and candidates who run for municipal office do not run under the banner of a political party.

mendation is ﬁve years in state prison to run concurrent to McDonald’s pending charges in Middlesex and Bergen counties. As part of the plea, McDonald will be required to perform community service and he agreed to an order to never to own or reside with animals. The remains of two dead German Shepherd puppies were found in a ﬁre pit on a property in Howell where McDonald was temporarily residing on May 18. The Howell Police Department and the Monmouth County Society for the Preven-

tion of Cruelty to Animals, Law Enforcement Division, conducted an investigation leading to the discovery of the remains of two more dead puppies which had been buried on the property, according to the press release. The joint investigation ultimately revealed the puppies had been stolen from a farm in Somerset County on or about May 12, when the puppies were 3 weeks old. Investigators learned McDonald was staying at the Somerset County farm prior to the time the puppies went missing.

Investigators also learned the puppies were ill, in distress, and were struggling to breathe prior to their deaths. A necropsy performed on the two buried puppies revealed the puppies suffered from parasites and also were severely emaciated and malnourished with “no indications of recent nutritional ingestion,” according to the press release. Gramiccioni said that during his plea, McDonald took full responsibility for not getting the puppies the proper care they needed, which resulted in their deaths.

he first thing you can’t fail to notice about the 2021 Chevy Trailblazer RS AWD that I recently drove for one week is its striking color: Oasis Blue. If I were naming it – and I am sure the folks at Chevy are glad that I’m not – I would’ve opted for a more appropriate “Electric Blue”. But, that’s neither here nor there, suffice it to say that this Oasis Blue, with a black roof top and a Jet Black with red accents interior makes for Peter Perrotta a very “can’t miss” image as you drive it around town. It is definitely a “love it or hate it” color combination. However, there are plenty of other color options available on the Trailblazer if one is considering buying or leasing one anytime soon. The second most obvious thing one notices about the 2021 Trailblazer RS is its new sculpted body style, and once you plop yourself behind the wheel and take it for a spin, you can’t help but start wondering if the three-cylinder 1.3 liter Ecotec turbo engine is sufficient. Yes, that’s right folks, a three-cylinder engine – albeit turbo charged – in an SUV. It certainly was a bold move for GM. Needless to say, Chevy has sort of taken it on the chin from the traditional motoring press reviewers for this move. The slings and arrows start from the get-go with the simple headline on Car and Driver’s online review of this car: “2021 Chevrolet Trailblazer: Lots of show, not much go.” Ouch! While Motor Trend raved about the versatility of the Trailblazer, their editors also hit it up for being slow. So I guess you are ready for me to jump on the bandwagon, right? Well, not exactly. That would be too easy. While the metrics don’t lie – this engine puts out a pedestrian 155 horsepower – and its zero to 60 time is a laborious 9.4 seconds, there is still much to like about the Trailblazer. Let’s clear the air. If you are looking to own a quick and nimble European-styled little SUV that you can scoot about town with a kid and dog in tow but still zip in

2021 Chevy Trailblazer AWD RS

and out of traffic making aggressive lane changes, then stop right there folks, this isn’t the car for you. But, not everyone wants to drive like that. I love my wife, dearly, but I don’t think she ever accelerates aggressively or takes her 2011 Nissan Altima over 55 mph. My point is, even if we concede the point that the Trailblazer is slow, so what? I am sure there are plenty of folks out there among the vast motoring public who would be perfectly content driving this 2021 Trailblazer around town or on a vacation sojourn and not even notice or even think it’s slow because their driving style fits this model perfectly. My overall impression of the 2021 Trailblazer is a positive one. This vehicle is well-styled, inside and out, and is roomy and comfortable to drive. It also has a versatile, utilitarian personality as well. On weekends, I carry around glass display cases for when I set up at baseball card shows to sell my wares. The Trailblazer held all three of my cases quite well and my Martin acoustic guitar also fit back there when I was taking it to get it restrung. The Trailblazer is rather nimble to maneuver around town and it also takes the

typical bumps and bruises in our New Jersey roads quite well. There isn’t too much shake, rattle and roll when you go over bumps or hit potholes. The 2021 Trailblazer RS AWD model I road tested carries a base sticker price of $26,900. With added options and destination and delivery charges the bottom line sticker price on my tester comes in at $30,580. The added options included $1,720 for a technology package, $620 for a convenience package and $345 for a driver confidence package. The technology package includes wireless Bluetooth Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, adaptive cruise control, a Bose 7-speaker upgraded sound system and more. The driver confidence package includes rear park assist, rear cross traffic alert, lane change alert and side blind zone alert. Among the items included in the driver convenience package are rear port charging stations, automatic zoned AC, and the Sirius Satellite radio system. The infotainment system in the Trailblazer is the standard one included in most of the GM lines. It is a solid performing

system that is easy to use without any glitches. Chevy offers up the Trailblazer in ﬁve different trim levels: the L, LS, LT, Activ and the RS. The entry level L can be had for a meager starting base price of $19,995. The three cylinder turbocharged engine in the Trailblazer I drove for one week gets a fairly impressive 28 miles per gallon overall in the EPA’s fuel consumption ratings. It gets 26 mpg in city driving and 30 in highway driving. The EPA estimates the annual cost of driving the Trailblazer around town for one year is $1,450 as it uses about 3.6 gallons of gas per every 100 miles driven. This vehicle has not yet received a rating for the government’s 5 star crash and safety tests. The bottom line is that while this Trailblazer may not be everyone’s cup of tea, there is plenty to like about it to consider it a serious contender for anyone who is considering owning or leasing a small SUV.

LETTERS Church has saved historic house of worship

ver the years, many of Jacksonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s old buildings have disappeared: The Red Menâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Lodge, the Cassville Church and the Daughterâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s of Liberty Hall, to note just a few. By the 1980s, it looked like Harmony Church, one of the townshipâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s oldest buildings, was destined to meet the same fate. Due to a dwindling attendance, the church eventually had to close its doors, which in time led to the building falling into disrepair. In 2014, however, the old church was granted a reprieve when the Cornerstone Presbyterian Church came to the rescue by signing a lease agreement with the buildingâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s owner, Jackson Township. Over the next few years, the old church was completely renovated, with its bell tower rebuilt, its original stained glass windows re-installed and its steeple repaired, with the addition of a new cross at its apex (hopefully with a lightning rod attached).

TRI-TOWN NEWS 9

In 2018, after a lot of hard work, the church ďŹ nally opened its doors to all. As a kid living in Jackson Mills back in the 1940s, I still remember hearing those church bells ring every Sunday morning. Hopefully now, they will be heard ringing once more on Sunday mornings. The cemetery behind the church holds the grave sites of many old-time Jackson families, especially those from the Jackson Mills area. There is also a veteran of the Revolutionary War interred at the cemetery. With the addition of a fresh coat of white paint, the old building has come back to life, thanks to the efforts and perseverance of the members of the Cornerstone Presbyterian Church â&#x20AC;&#x201C; they are to be commended.

29 people face charges for racketeering, gang activities

n eight-month investigation into ongoing acts of gang criminality and organized street crime has led to charges being lodged against 29 people from Monmouth and Ocean counties for racketeering, conspiracy, attempted murder, drug trafficking, gun trafficking and dog fighting, Monmouth County Prosecutor Christopher J. Gramiccioni announced on Oct. 30. The probe revealed a power grab by an alleged Bloods gang leader to consolidate his command of the gang’s criminal activities through violence intimidation, illegal drug and gun sales, and the operation of a dog fighting ring, according to a press release from Gramiccioni’s office. During the investigation, dubbed “Operation Golden State,” law enforcement officers recovered firearms, a vehicle used in criminal activity, quantities of cocaine and marijuana, 12 canines used in the dog fighting operation and other evidence related to the dog fighting operation, according to the press release. Gramiccioni reported that the dogs are

safe and are currently being sheltered in an Ocean County animal facility. Of the 29 people charged as part of the investigation, nine are facing charges of racketeering, five are facing charges of conspiracy to commit murder, two are facing charges as a leader of a dog fighting network, and four are facing dog fighting charges. The joint investigation by the Monmouth County Prosecutor’s Office, in cooperation with federal, state, county and local law enforcement agencies, concluded that Xavier Reed, 30, of Jackson, allegedly controlled a criminal enterprise operating in Asbury Park, Neptune Township, Freehold and Lakewood, Gramiccioni said. Reed allegedly assembled a gang alliance consisting of G-Shine Bloods, 47 Neighborhood Crips and the Grape Street Crips that worked toward the unitary control of most illegal activity in Monmouth and Ocean counties, according to the press release. Reed is currently incarcerated in the Essex County Correctional Facility in New-

ark on unlawful gun possession charges. As an alleged G-Shine Bloods leader, Reed was responsible for administering punishment, controlling the channels for generating revenue from various quantities of drug sales and the administration of the dog fighting ring, where thousands of dollars were typically earned during a single dog fight. Gramiccioni said these activities served as a means of funding the violent crime that was carried out by the group, and to further advance Reed’s power. Reed’s alleged intimidation tactics included a conspiracy with others charged to murder a pair of Reed’s rivals and a member of a Lakewood-based G-Shine set, who resisted Reed’s efforts to consolidate that set into his organization, according to the press release. The criminal enterprise also possessed, transferred and sold weapons within its organized crime alliance and were responsible for more than a dozen shooting incidents that have recently plagued Asbury Park, Long Branch, Tinton Falls, Keansburg and Neptune Township. The investigation further revealed Reed and his affiliates in other criminal street gangs were allegedly responsible for violent criminal activity throughout Asbury Park, Freehold Borough and Neptune Township. The dog fighting part of the enterprise worked in cooperation with out-of-state breeding facilities that focused on training dogs to kill and engaged in interstate dog fighting events. The Monmouth County Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals seized eight pit bull-type dogs in Monmouth and Ocean counties in February. All of the dogs are believed to be owned by Reed. The dogs were left outside in sub-freezing temperatures and all had bite marks on their limbs, necks and ears that were indicative of dog fighting, according to the press release. Gramiccioni said Reed has been charged with first degree racketeering conspiracy, first degree gang criminality, first degree conspiracy to commit murder and first degree promotion of organized street crime. Reed has also been charged with second degree aggravated assault, second degree solicitation to join a criminal street gang, second degree conspiracy to commit unlawful possession of a weapon (firearm), second degree unlawful possession of a weapon (firearm), second degree possession of a weapon for an unlawful purpose (community firearm), second degree possession of a weapon for an unlawful purpose, second degree conspiracy to possess a weapon for an unlawful purpose, second degree certain persons not to possess

weapons and second degree leader of a dog fighting network. Reed has also been charged with third degree conspiracy to commit dog fighting, third degree conspiracy to commit witness tampering and third degree conspiracy to distribute a controlled dangerous substance (marijuana). Reed was allegedly aided in his efforts by a network of people who are charged with various crimes. Those charged are Rashad Anderson, 39; Kaniesha Bacon, 30, of Jackson; Itayasia Berry, 21, of Neptune Township; Jawaun Boggs, 24, of Asbury Park; King Brent, 25, of Asbury Park; Alahji Conteh, 25, of Asbury Park; Thomas Cutillo Jr., 25, of Avon-By-the-Sea; Sammy Davis, 55, of Neptune Township; Nakee Davis-Ruffin, 21, of Asbury Park; And, Jahquan Fenn, 30, of Freehold Borough; Dale Ghee, 23, of Asbury Park; Marciyah Gill, 25, of Freehold Borough; Richard Ivery, 35, of Wall Township; Jy’Zaire Jones, 25, of Ocean Township; a juvenile male from Asbury Park; Tyree Kirkpatrick, 32, of Asbury Park; Zion Langhorne, 19.

Gramiccioni thanked the following agencies for their assistance in conducting the investigation: the New York/New Jersey Regional Task Force and the Capitol Area Regional Task Force of the U.S. Marshal’s Office; the Red Bank field office of the FBI; And, the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives; the U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration High Intensity Drug Trafficking Areas; the New Jersey State Police; the New Jersey State Parole Board; Also, the Monmouth County Sheriff’s Office; the Union County Prosecutor’s Office; the Ocean County Prosecutor’s Office; the Monmouth County Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals; And, the police departments in Union Beach, Keansburg, Highlands, Neptune Township, Neptune City, Tinton Falls, Eatontown, Long Branch, Howell, Spring Lake, Asbury Park, Freehold Township, Freehold Borough, Red Bank, Middletown, Jackson, Lakewood, Keyport and Oceanport.
