Gov. closes state, county parks; outdoor alliance objects

o limit the spread of COVID-19 and to ensure social distancing, the New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection (DEP) has closed all state parks and forests following the signing of an Executive Order by Gov. Phil Murphy. The closure of the parks took effect on April 8. The order also closes county parks throughout the Garden State. “My administration’s top priority is to flatten the curve of new COVID-19 cases so we do not create a surge within our healthcare systems and overwhelm the healthcare professionals who are managing our response on the front lines,” Murphy said on April 7. “We have seen far too many instances in our parks where people are gathering and socializing in groups. By closing these areas, we are further limiting public interactions to only the most essential purposes. “Data shows our aggressive efforts to flatten the curve are beginning to make a difference; however, we must continue our push to flatten it to the point where our day-over-day increase is zero,” the governor said. Under Executive Order No. 108, municipal officials still have the authority to keep municipal parks open or closed, according to a press release. DEP Commissioner Catherine R. McCabe said the state parks and forests will remain closed until further notice. Law enforcement personnel, including New Jersey State Police, State Park Police and Conservation Police, will enforce the governor’s order at parks, forests and among boaters on state open waters to ensure compliance with social distancing mandates, according to a press release. “We regret very much that it has become necessary to close our state parks and forests at this time,” McCabe said. “This is not a decision DEP makes lightly. “We understand New Jerseyans particularly need fresh air and exercise during this

stressful time, but as the weather warms, our parks are becoming crowded and it is difficult in many places to observe the social distancing that is so critical to fighting the COVID-19 outbreak. “Now more than ever, we need to redouble our efforts to flatten the curve, as the governor has urged us daily. The DEP urges all New Jersey residents to cooperate with this direction, to protect themselves, their families and all our communities.

“State Park Police will actively patrol to enforce these closures and fines will be assessed where people failure to comply. We look forward to welcoming you all back as soon as conditions are improved enough to allow safe use of the parks,” McCabe said. The New Jersey Outdoor Alliance took issue with Murphy’s directive and in a press release the alliance called his order to close all state and county parks “ridiculous.”

The alliance is urging state officials to review the impact the order could have on people’s mental health. The group, which represents New Jersey’s 794,000 hunters, anglers and fishermen, called on Murphy to reopen state and county parks with the same social distancing and occupancy guidelines it said have worked for New Jersey thus far so sportsmen and other outdoor recreation enthusiasts can continue to practice healthful activities that it said are a boon to mental and physical health at a time when morale is critically important to the state. “It’s no secret we disagree with the governor on many policies, but the alliance gladly gave the governor credit for his common sense (two weeks ago) because it was a no-brainer then just as it is now (to keep state parks open); keeping nine million New Jerseyans locked in their homes for 12 or more weeks is ridiculous and an over-reach” NJOA spokesman Cody McLaughlin said. “We have guidelines for social distancing and we, in good faith, committed to those guidelines. Yet once again, with no legislative oversight in a ‘free society,’ Gov. Murphy has decided to act unilaterally on something that is not proven to help anything. “Meanwhile, the hundreds of thousands of trout that have been stocked in those state and county parks will go to waste and key components of healthful solitary recreation are now being sacrificed on the altar of fear and good headlines. It’s asinine, plain and simple,” McLaughlin said. “All we are asking for as sportsmen, taxpayers and conservationists is the same thing we have always asked of this administration: respect for the passion we have for our lifestyle; decisions based on sound science; and for the administration to work with us. We have received none,” the spokesman said.

New Jersey’s June 2 primary election postponed to July 7

ov. Phil Murphy has signed Executive Order No. 120, postponing primary elections from June 2 to July 7 in response to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic. This includes primaries for President, U.S. Senate, U.S. House of Representatives, the 25th District of the New Jersey

Legislature, and county and municipal elections, as well as county committee elections, according to an April 8 press release from the governor’s office. “Preserving basic functions of our democracy is critical in this unprecedented time,” Murphy said. “Citizens exercising their right to vote should not have to risk

their safety and the safety of others in order to make their voices heard. Postponing our primary elections is a difficult, yet necessary, choice to ensure our citizens can partake in their civic duty of voting.” “Gov. Murphy’s decision to move New Jersey’s primary election to July 7 will provide our state, county and local election

For residents of municipalities that are members or branches of the Monmouth County Library who do not have library membership, new library cards can still be secured while the libraries are closed, according to the press release. Interested persons are asked to send an email to mcl@monmouthcountylib.org

and to include their name, telephone number and an attached image of identification that includes the applicant’s name and street address, preferably a current valid driver’s license. When approved, the card will be valid for three months. Once libraries are permitted to reopen, new applicants can visit their local library branch to validate and pick up their physical library card. The process is available for adults, not juvenile patrons during this time, according to the press release.

For library members whose cards are about to expire before June 30, the cards will be temporarily extended through July 2. Once the library reopens, the user should visit a branch to validate and fully renew their membership.

Mad For The Mob By David Cohea, ReMIND Magazine

here’s a scene in the HBO series The Sopranos where Tony Soprano’s gang is hanging out in a backroom of the Bada Bing strip club, counting the day’s take from some illegal operation. On the TV, an organized crime expert talks about the decline of the mob in America. While the group grimaces at their pressing reality, Silvio (Steven Van Zandt) rises to do his Michael Corleone impression from The Godfather: Part III. “Just when I thought I was out, they pull me back in,” he mutters, flailing his hands. The wiseguys all laugh — and keep counting. Some things are eternal, like vice, dirty deeds and our fascination with those who deal in such things. America has always loved its outlaws and naked peeks into the criminal night world. That fascination is as old as printing presses and cheap pamphlets in Elizabethan England decrying “Murder Most Foul!” in lurid detail. In the 19th century,

with Edward G. Robinson, are considered classics of gangland cinema. The unrelenting violence and mayhem of organized crime found perfect expression in the dime novels reveled in the escapades of two, with Robinson shooting his way to Billy the Kid and Jesse James. All this the bottom of the Chicago crime barrel would blossom darkly with the advent of and Cagney as the face of unbridled fury movies.

Set deep in the night when evil comes out from under its rock to play, crime bosses and hoodlums crossed paths with flatfoots and G-men, and there always was a woman half in shadow nearby, deciding between light and darkness — Yvonne De Carlo in Criss Cross (1949) and Gloria Grahame in The Big Heat (1953). Sometimes women stepped into the leading role — Faye Emerson played a bank robber in Lady Gangster (1942) as did Peggy Cummins in Gun Crazy (1950). Then there were all of those evil femme fatales — Lizabeth Scott in Too Late for Tears (1949) or Jane Greer against Robert Mitchum in Out of the Past (1947). With the advent of television, shows focused on crime-fighters who could deal hard hits to the mob — like the ABC series The Untouchables (1959-63), starring Robert Stack as the unbeatable Eliot Ness fighting crime in 1930s Chicago. In ABC’s Naked City (1958-63), detectives of the NYPD’s 65th Precinct took on the city’s ne’er-do-wells. (Every episode concluded with: “There are 8 million stories in the Naked City. This has been one of them.”) Efrem Zimbalist Jr. played another G-man as Inspector Lewis Erskine on ABC’s The F.B.I. (1965-74). These nononsense, “just-the-facts, ma’am” crimefighters were clean-cut and powerfully groomed, giving the impression that crime didn’t stand a chance against the minions

of law and order. In the late 1960s, Hollywood’s Hays Code (the motion picture censorship guidelines) was abandoned, allowing studios and filmmakers greater latitude to address formerly off-topic subjects. Arthur Penn’s Bonnie and Clyde (1967) reveled in the Depression-era bank robber Clyde Barrow (Warren Beatty) and his girlfriend Bonnie Parker (Faye Dunaway). Martin Scorsese’s Mean Streets (1973) starred Robert De Niro as an up-and-coming mobster whose faith was at war with the call of the streets. But it was Francis Ford Coppola’s 1972 movie The Godfather that would become the standard for gangland opera. Based on Mario Puzo’s bestselling novel, the film and its two sequels, The Godfather: Part II (1974) and Part III (1990), tell the story of the Corleone family over generations of crime in a growing America. Richly set in a time mostly lost (the cars themselves are wonders) and driven by stellar performances from Marlon Brando, Al Pacino, James Caan and De Niro, The Godfather won three Academy Awards including Best Picture, The Godfather: Part II won six, also including Best Picture, and Part III earned seven nominations but no wins. With the success of The Godfather, other gangland classics rolled out to hungry fans of the genre: Brian De Palma and Oliver Stone’s Scarface (1983) starring Pacino; Carlito’s Way (1993) with Pacino again, this time trying to break free of his gangland past; Scorsese’s Goodfellas (1990) starring Ray Liotta, De Niro and Joe Pesci (who would pick up a Best Supporting Actor Oscar); Casino (1995), another Scorsese epic starring De Niro, Sharon Stone and Pesci; and The Godfather: Part III with Pacino back again as Michael Corleone. Which brings us back to The Sopranos — the sometimes funny, often gruesome and painfully suburban tale of a contemporary crime family. After so much had been said and done in the movies and on TV, the show marked a sea change for TV drama and HBO. Running for six seasons, The Sopranos would earn 21 Primetime Emmy Awards, including two for Outstanding Drama Series, the first series on a cable network to do so. James Gandolfini and Edie Falco would pick up the Outstanding Lead Actor and Actress award three times each. In its 2016 ranking of the top TV series of all time, Rolling Stone placed The Sopranos at No. 1. And most recently we have The Irishman, a gangland epic reprising one of the best crime-movie directors, Scorsese, with old gangland hands De Niro, Pacino and Pesci. Just when we thought we were getting out, they pull us back in!

Monmouth legislators call on Gov. to reopen state, county parks

ne day after Democratic Gov. Phil Murphy ordered the closure of all state and county parks in New Jersey in the face of the ongoing coronavirus pandemic, three Republican legislators from Monmouth County urged him to reverse his decision. In an April 8 press release, Sen. Declan O’Scanlon, Assemblywoman Serena DiMaso and Assemblyman Gerry Scharfenberger called on Murphy to rescind his Executive Order mandating the closure of all state and county park spaces to the public. “We understand we are in unprecedented times, as well as the necessity for certain measures to be put into effect to curb exposure to and cases of the COVID-19 pandemic. However, this Executive Order forcing the closure of state and county parks takes things to a new level – one that we frankly should not be reaching.

“We have hit a saturation point where residents have almost every single ounce of movement and activity unilaterally restricted. “Making this move now will negatively impact overall physical welfare and crush the mental well-being of residents, especially those already completely overstressed, as well as members of our special needs community,” the legislators said. “The fact is, the vast majority of New Jerseyans grasp the seriousness of combating the virus and have overwhelmingly been willing to compromise and comply. Yet, they are now being penalized due to the bad actions of just a few. The governor should be basing this decision on this reality, rather than reacting to an unproven narrative. “This directive is simply too punitive; we have faith in our residents to keep to

the recommendations as well as to social distancing guidelines. Why? Because they already have been doing so for weeks now. “If we have situations where some are not complying, then there should be action, but only on those few and not on all

New Jerseyans. This latest move is far too much, so we call on the governor to share the same faith we have in our residents and reopen our parks,” O’Scanlon, DiMaso and Scharfenberger said.

Marlboro school board introduces $94M budget By PETER ELACQUA Staff Writer

MARLBORO â&#x20AC;&#x201C; The Marlboro K-8 School District Board of Education has introduced a budget for the 2020-21 school year that totals $94.25 million. The budget calls for a local tax levy of $77.65 million to be paid by Marlboroâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s residential and commercial property owners. The taxpayersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; share of the budget revenue will be about 84.5%. A public hearing on the spending plan has been scheduled for April 28. The board may adopt the budget at that time. On a motion to introduce the budget, board President Robyn Wolfe, Vice President Randy Heller and board members Tricia Branch, Robert Daniel, Vlad Goldfarb, Stephen Shifrinson, Jennifer Silacci and Susan Shrem voted â&#x20AC;&#x153;yes.â&#x20AC;? Board member Kathleen Amster voted â&#x20AC;&#x153;no.â&#x20AC;? Amster could not be reached for comment regarding her vote. The school districtâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 2019-20 budget totaled $92.16 million and was supported by a tax levy of $77.9 million, so while overall spending will increase for the upcoming school year, the amount to be collected in taxes has decreased by about $300,000. Business Administrator Vincent Caravello said the tax levy has decreased because the district no longer has to make a debt service payment. Marlboroâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s state aid will be reduced by $850,000, from $10.6 million in 2019-20 to $9.75 million in 2020-21. Under the terms of a state law known as S-2 that was enacted in 2018, the districtâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s

state aid will continue to be reduced each year through the 2024-25 school year. Superintendent of Schools Eric Hibbs said if the budget is approved as introduced, there is a plan in place to keep the school districtâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s programs and initiatives the same, despite the reduction in state aid. The 2020-21 budget will use $1.15 million from surplus funds (savings) and $835,393 from a budgeted fund balance as revenue. The budget includes an appropriation of $2 million from the maintenance reserve fund and an appropriation of $1.65 million from capital reserves for the districtâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s share of a $19.65 million Energy Savings Improvement Program. Caravello said the number of staff members will remain stable, however, some employees will be relocated for the upcoming school year. In 2019-20, Marlboroâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s K-8 school tax rate was $1.082 per $100 of assessed valuation. The average home in the township was assessed at $494,605. The owner of that home paid about $5,351 in K-8 school taxes. In 2020-21, Marlboroâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s K-8 school tax rate is projected to decrease to $1.072 per $100 of assessed valuation. The average home in the township is assessed at $495,093. The owner of that home will pay about $5,306 in K-8 school taxes. School taxes are one item on a property ownerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s tax bill, which also includes Monmouth County taxes, Marlboro municipal taxes, Freehold Regional High School District taxes and a fire district tax.

Municipal officials in Freehold Borough are considering a plan to purchase this building at 30 Mechanic St. and to use the building as town hall, municipal court and the headquarters of the Freehold Borough Police Department.

Freehold officials eye move for town hall, court, police By MATTHEW SOCKOL Staff Writer

FREEHOLD â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Municipal officials in Freehold Borough are moving forward with a plan to purchase a building on Mechanic Street for use as a new Borough Hall, police department headquarters and municipal court. On April 6, Borough Council members introduced an ordinance that will, if adopted, authorize the purchase of a building at 30 Mechanic St. The building is currently used by the Monmouth County Probation Department for child support services. The building would be purchased by Freehold Borough for $3.33 million, according to the ordinance. A public hearing on the ordinance is scheduled for April 20. The council members may adopt the ordinance that evening. According to the ordinance, officials are planning to use the building on Mechanic Street as Borough Hall, the headquarters of

the Freehold Borough Police Department and the municipal court. At present, Borough Hall is on West Main Street and the police department and municipal court are on Jackson Street. Discussions regarding moving Borough Hall from its location on West Main Street date back to 2017 when the North Jersey Transportation Planning Authority (NJTPA) presented a draft concept for a transit village around the Freehold bus station at the corner of West Main and Throckmorton streets, near Borough Hall. In 2018, a partnership of business owners and property owners in the borough, known as KFM Partnership, LLC, recommended moving the municipal building to a new location. They believed moving Borough Hall would open up property around the bus station and provide an opportunity to generate revenue for the borough by creating additional space for a developer who might bid on the NJTPAâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s plans proposed for the bus station.

Supt. says loss of state aid will ‘decimate and destroy’ FRHSD By PETER ELACQUA Staff Writer

he Freehold Regional High School District Board of Education has introduced a $200.81 million budget to support the operation of the district during the 2020-21 school year. District administrators have fashioned a budget for the upcoming school year that will lose almost $6 million in state aid from the current school year. Superintendent of Schools Charles Sampson said the continuing loss of state aid “is going to decimate and destroy the FRHSD over the next three years.” In introducing the 2020-21 budget, district administrators said the spending plan would be supported by the collection of $140.38 million in taxes from residential and commercial property owners in the district’s eight sending municipalities: Colts Neck, Englishtown, Farmingdale, Freehold Borough, Freehold Township, Howell, Manalapan and Marlboro. The district operates high schools in Colts Neck, Freehold Borough, Freehold Township, Howell, Manalapan and Marlboro. Enrollment, which administrators have said is declining by about 1% per

year, currently stands at about 10,800 students. A public hearing on the budget has been scheduled for 6:30 p.m. April 27. The board may adopt the budget that evening. The school district’s 2019-20 budget totaled $205.89 million and was supported by a tax levy of $141.76 million. Total spending for the upcoming school year will decrease by $5.08 million and the tax levy for the upcoming school year will decrease by $1.38 million. In 2020-21, under the terms of legislation known as S-2 that was signed into law by Gov. Phil Murphy in 2018, the district will continue to see its state aid decrease. State aid to the FRHSD will decrease from $46.52 million in 2019-20 to $40.73 million in 2020-21. Administrators have said the decreases will continue through the 2024-25 school year. Freehold Regional has joined other school districts that are losing state aid in litigation that seeks to overturn S-2. Regarding the district’s current financial position, Sampson said, “the change in state aid under S-2 is going to decimate and destroy the FRHSD over the next three years.

“I hope our communities voice their concern to Gov. Murphy and Senate President Stephen Sweeney because the magnitude of the state aid loss is unsustainable. “We will lose approximately 30 positions (in 2020-21) and in 2021-22 (we will lose) at least 70 additional positions. Our classes will be built at 32 students per classroom in 2020-21, which is an absurdly high number,” the superintendent said. “Less than half of the loss in state aid is offset by the 2% increase in the General Fund tax levy. Compounding the revenue situation is the continued diminishing of our surplus funds that are being used to support the 2020-21 budget and beyond. “Despite the implementation of participation fees in the amount of $1.25 million … the General Fund revenue is down by $4.7 million (2.3%). The impact on programs and services is severe and compounding as significant cuts in state aid will continue in the years to come. “For 2020-21, the board is considering about 30 staff reductions, the elimination of after-school busing, as well as changes to busing to and from school, and increases in class size that approach maximum capacity of the physical space in classrooms.

“Structurally speaking, this budget accepts a significant increase in risk to accommodating unforeseen circumstances in 2020-21,” Sampson said. “Importantly, the 2020-21 budget does not provide for any of the essential work that was included in our recently failed referendum. The referendum was coordinated with the expiration of existing debt. “For the first time in more than 20 years, there is no debt service (repayment of loans) obligation. Therefore, the aggregate tax impact for 2020-21 is a 1% reduction in the tax levy. The district continues to explore options for completing the essential facility work, including another referendum,” the superintendent said. Specific information about the impact of the 2020-21 budget on property taxes is expected to be available at the April 27 public hearing. Freehold Regional High School District taxes are one item on a property owner’s tax bill. The total tax bill also includes municipal taxes, Monmouth County taxes and other assessments. The taxes an individual pays depends on the assessed value of that individual’s home and/or property and the tax rate that is set by each taxing entity.

The property is owned by Gibson Farms and the purchase of the land will preclude it from being developed. In late 2019, committee members authorized funding for the acquisition of the property. The easement covers more than 54 acres at a cost of $2.95 million that may be shared among several entities. Freehold Township may purchase the property with and/or assign its interests to the New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection Green Acres program and/or Monmouth County, and enroll the property in the Green Acres program. The ordinance authorizes the property’s acquisition at a cost not to exceed $2.95 million, of which $750,000 will be provided at closing, with the remainder to be paid through installments. Municipal officials have said the purchase of an easement at the Gibson Farms property “will further (the Township Committee’s) aims and objectives in setting aside property for public purposes and farmland preservation/open space, and it will assist in preserving the quality of life within the township.”

In other municipal business, a $16,598 increase in a contract for improvements to Freehold Township’s water treatment plant has been authorized by the Township Committee. Committee members authorized the increase to a $343,000 contract that was awarded to A.C. Shultes Inc., Woodbury Heights, for improvements to well No. 14 and well No. 15 at the Jackson Mills Road water treatment plant. The revised contract now totals $359,598. Committee members awarded the contract to A.C. Shultes in 2019. According to a resolution authorizing the change order, the increase in the contract resulted from a need for new 10-inch column piping for well No. 15. In other business, committee members awarded a $62,980 contract to A.C. Shultes for the rehabilitation of well No. 3. The company was awarded the contract on the recommendation of the assistant superintendent of utilities as the lowest bidder. A bid of $85,200 was submitted by Uni-Tech Drilling Co. Inc.

Colts Neck governing body approves housing settlement By PETER ELACQUA Staff Writer

COLTS NECK – Township Committee members have agreed to settle issues with the Fair Share Housing Center that are related to Colts Neck’s obligation to provide opportunities for the development of affordable housing in the community. Affordable housing is defined as housing that is sold or rented at below market prices to individuals and families whose income meets certain guidelines. During a meeting on March 18, committee members passed a resolution which stated the municipality would agree to settle issues with the Fair Share Housing Center, Cherry Hill. The Fair Share Housing Center advocates for the construction of affordable housing throughout New Jersey. The center’s directors initiated legal action against municipalities which they asserted had not

complied with affordable housing mandates. Colts Neck officials were facing a court ordered deadline of March 18 to resolve the issues or go to trial. On a motion to pass the resolution, Mayor Frank Rizzuto, Deputy Mayor Michael Viola, Committeeman J.P. Bartolomeo, Committeewoman Sue Fitzpatrick and Committeeman Tom Orgo voted “yes.” “We have worked tirelessly and diligently for the last five years,” Bartolomeo said. “I am proud of the decision we made given the circumstances presented to us. This is the best thing we could possibly choose for the township.” Municipal officials previously said the settlement agreement would state that Colts Neck would permit the construction of 1,280 new housing units in the municipality. They said 1,051 units would be available at market rates and 229 units would be designated as affordable housing.
