Mayor testifies about utility’s storm response

house, which has occurred multiple times in our town,” police department officials wrote.

“The criminals committing these acts have no regard for the lives and safety of you, your families or our officers. These criminal acts are easily preventable by simply securing your vehicles and taking the keys inside the house.

arlboro Mayor Jonathan Hornik testified at the state Senate’s Law and Public Safety Committee meeting on Oct. 19 regarding Jersey Central Power and Light’s response to outages resulting from tropical storm Isaias in early August.

The hearing was chaired by Sen. Linda R. Greenstein (D-Mercer and Middlesex), according to a press release from Hornik’s office.

Following the storm, Marlboro experienced extended power outages and residents received what Hornik said were inaccurate text messages sent by JCP&L. The mayor said the messages were misleading and incorrect, and caused further confusion to residents.

Prior to his state Senate testimony, Hornik wrote to New Jersey Board of Public Utilities President Joseph L. Fiordaliso, copying other officials and representatives from JCP&L. In response, state Assembly Speaker Craig Coughlin invited Hornik to testify before an Assembly committee on Aug. 19.

The mayor’s testimony was followed by a tele-conference with Fiordaliso, according to the press release.

Each of the communications detailed what Hornik said was JCP&L’s inadequate response to the power outages caused by Isaias.

During the Oct. 19 Senate hearing, Hornik said, in part, “Isaias was a quick moving storm, yet many of our residents were without power for as long as the multi-day Sandy (in 2012).

“We understand it takes time to assess and allocate resources, but days after Isaias

Police warn residents to remove key fobs, lock cars

T

he Colts Neck Police Department is advising residents to remove the key fob from their vehicles and to lock their vehicles following an increase in thefts.

In a post on social media, police department officials wrote, “There has been a steady increase in motor vehicle thefts and vehicle burglaries in our community and surrounding towns.

“Over the past six months, the Colts

Neck Police Department has responded to numerous calls in reference to vehicles being stolen and/or burglarized. During this time period there have been 12 vehicles stolen and over 45 vehicles burglarized.

‘Joker’ turns from comedy to horror, writing latest thriller from home

By JENNIFER AMATO Managing Editor

I

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.

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: • A history of breast conditions or prior breast cancer diagnosis • A family history of breast cancer, par-

ticularly at a young age • Beginning menstruation at an early age • Entering menopause at a later age • Having a child late in life or never being pregnant • 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 doesn’t have a personal history of breast cancer, a strong family history of breast cancer, or a genetic mutation known to

Watch for These Signs Seek medical advice if you notice any of the following signs, even if you recently had a mammogram: • A lump or thickening in the breast that feels different than surrounding tissue • Changes in the shape, size or appearance of the breast • Changes in the skin over the breast, such as dimpling • Peeling or flaking of the skin around the nipple • A newly inverted nipple

Designated Center of Excellence Between five and 10 percent of breast cancer cases are based on genetic mutations, and genetic testing, counseling and risk assessment are available at the Penn Medicine Princeton Medical Center Breast Health Center through the Rutgers Cancer Institute of New Jersey LIFE Center.

The Breast Health Center is designated a Breast Health Center of Excellence by the American College of Radiology and holds a three-year accreditation from the National Accreditation Program for Breast Centers, a program administered by the American College of Surgeons.

nology, the Breast Health Center provides the personalized services of breast health navigators, who help to guide patients after a breast cancer diagnosis.

Treatment for breast cancer varies from person to person and is increasingly more personalized and tailored to the specific cancer’s unique biological profile. No two cancers are treated the same. Some may require surgery, while others may be treated with targeted chemotherapy or radiation.

Understanding the options — as well as risks and benefits — is a critical step in the treatment process.

Operator of Englishtown business arrested in $385,000 swindle

A

Middlesex County resident with an accounting firm based in Englishtown has been charged with stealing $385,000 in tax payments from a wholesale distributor now based in South Carolina, Monmouth County Prosecutor Christopher J. Gramiccioni announced on Oct. 8.

Gramiccioni said William A. Berry, of South Plainfield, was arrested and charged on Oct. 6 with second degree theft by failure to make required disposition. Berry was arrested with assistance from the Englishtown Police Department following a

10-month investigation by the Monmouth County Prosecutor’s Office.

If convicted, Berry faces up to 10 years in state prison, according to a press release from Gramiccioni.

Berry, who will turn 49 during the week of Oct. 11, is the owner of William Berry & Associates, an accounting and tax preparation business in Englishtown.

The investigation found Berry allegedly stole funds in the aggregate amount of $385,000 for his personal use from the victims between March 2017 and July 2019,

according to the prosecutor.

The investigation revealed Berry allegedly received funds from the victims’ personal and business banking accounts for the purposes of remitting federal and state quarterly taxes on behalf of the victims.

In turn, Berry allegedly failed to remit tax payments to the proper tax collecting authorities.

The Monmouth County Prosecutor’s Office was contacted in December 2019 by a civil attorney representing the victims, who are the owners of a multi-million dol-

lar wholesaler distribution company that specializes in holiday décor and is currently based in Charleston, S.C. The victims, who are former New Jersey residents, were subsequently contacted by law enforcement personnel and reported hiring Berry to file and remit corporate taxes for their business after their former accountant retired.

The victims reported having previous business dealings with Berry at his Englishtown practice.

The investigation revealed Berry corresponded with the victims to advise them of the amounts to be remitted to the federal and state tax collection authorities on a quarterly basis.

The victims sent funds from March 2017 through July 2019 at the direction of Berry from their Bank of America accounts to a Wells Fargo bank account held in the name of William Berry and Associates.

The victims received subsequent notifications from the state of South Carolina and the U.S. Internal Revenue Service for failure to file and remit taxes for 2017 and 2018, according to the press release.

passed, JCP&L did not have answers.

“On the first day following Isaias, 90% of our residents were without power. On day two it was 80% and on day three it was 70%. It was not until day four that power was to be restored to just over half our residents,” the mayor said.

“I was on the phone with JCP&L four, five and six times a day. They promised trucks were on their way, yet nothing happened. The most frustrating part is that JCP&L seems to be happy with their storm response.

“I have come to the realization that JCP&L has only one goal and that is to protect their shareholders by maximizing profits. Unless the lawmakers institute substantial penalties for poor restoration efforts and the BPU enforces those penalties, JCP&L has no incentive nor intention to fix the problem.

“I am thankful to Sen. Greenstein and the Senate for allowing me to speak before this committee on behalf of my residents.

I hope JCP&L will be required to invest in measurable and concrete storm response, meaningful system upgrades, and substantially improve their communication with the public and local elected officials,” Hornik said.

“By leaving your vehicle unsecured, you are inviting criminals into your community and putting the community at risk.

These criminal acts are crimes of opportunity and the people committing these crimes will return if they know vehicles are left unsecured.

“The Colts Neck Police Department urges everyone to lock their vehicles and to remove all keys, key fobs and valuables from your vehicles when not in use. There is no excuse to being a victim of an easily preventable crime,” police department officials wrote.

Marlboro mayor condemns incident of harassment

By MARK ROSMAN Managing Editor

MARLBORO – Mayor Jonathan Hornik has reaffirmed his position that “expressions of bias or intolerance are not welcome” in Marlboro and that “any crimes committed in this regard will be prosecuted under the fullest extent of the law.”

Hornik addressed the matter in an Oct. 20 letter to residents following an incident that occurred nine days earlier.

The mayor wrote that on Oct. 11, “a resident reported on social media that his grandmother was harassed while walking in her neighborhood … the incident was reprehensible and unacceptable. That said, there was an outpouring of outrage from our community and support of the victim, which was quite heartening.

“I could not be more proud of our police department during this time. Under the leadership of Chief Peter J. Pezzullo, detectives Edward Ungrady, William Pedone,

Anthony Peterpaul and Michael Pecararo, and SRO Frank Perrini reviewed residents’ doorbell camera video and conducted residential canvassing.

“This led to the perpetrator admitting wrongdoing and charges of harassment against the perpetrator by the Monmouth County Prosecutor’s Office,” Hornik wrote.

The mayor said Marlboro “is home to people from a wide range of faiths and ethnic backgrounds. … Our diversity is re-

flected in our schools, youth programs and on our local committees, enhancing what is the very rich cultural fabric of Marlboro.

“In Marlboro, we pride ourselves as being open and tolerant to those from all walks of life. In this spirit, let this incident be a reminder that we must speak out against discrimination in all its forms,” Hornik wrote.

The mayor said anyone who observes an expression of discrimination, whether a live incident or graffiti on private or public property, should call police at 732-5360100 to report the incident. Anonymous tips may be made by calling 888-536-1010.

“I am gratified Marlboro responded the way it did to this incident and in the aftermath, how residents supported a victim of harassment.

“For me, this is yet another reminder of what makes Marlboro a great community, where residents come together to support neighbors and stand tall in the face of discrimination and injustice,” Hornik wrote.

Teen working to attain Eagle rank creates teaching garden FREEHOLD - Michael Zamorski of Monmouth Council Boy Scout Troop 18, chartered by St. Rose of Lima Parish, Freehold Borough, has created a teaching garden at the Freehold Public Library as he works to attain the rank of Eagle Scout.

“Michael had volunteered as a performer with the library’s summer programs, acting in skits and helping with crafts for younger children,” said Kathy Mulholland, library director.

“When a section of the library grounds between our existing Appleyard Family Reading Garden and the parking area became available to redevelop, my first thought was, ‘This would be a great Eagle Scout project.’ I reached out to Troop 18 and was delighted that Michael jumped at the opportunity,” Mulholland said.

Michael, who is a resident of Marlboro and a student at the Marine Academy of Science and Technology, Highlands, took Mulholland’s suggestion of “a low maintenance area with native plants that could be a sort of teaching garden” and expanded upon that to create an attractive and welcoming space, according to a press release from the library.

Michael sought the advice of Ciccone Farms nursery manager Ed Franczak to select appropriate plants. The nursery also donated to the project.

Other contributors included Home Depot, Freehold Township, with special thanks to service manager Tim Jacobs for facilitating donations of materials. Crystal Air Conditioning’s Brian Ringwald provided the use of trucks and tools to move more than 50 plants, mulch and equipment on several occasions, according to the press release.

A new garden needs plenty of water and Chef Michael Maggio at the neighboring American Hotel provided free access to the hotel’s supply.

“Special mention goes to Joe Floudas and his amazing Freehold Borough streets and roads crew,” Michael said.

Beyond the initial work of clearing the project site, Floudas and his team provided reclaimed paving stones for hardscape access to a bike rack, installed a waste basket to encourage proper disposal of litter, and restored a bench for the public’s enjoyment, according to the press release.

In addition to the garden’s aesthetic appeal, Michael has registered the site as a Monarch butterfly waystation with Monarch Watch. Capitalizing on the “teaching garden” concept, he created laminated pages (available inside the library) with more

information about the featured plants.

“Finally, I would like to give a big shout-out to Mrs. Silver and all the scouts and parents from Troop 18 who generously gave their time, hard work and advice,” Michael said. “And there were so many other people who stopped while they were passing by who offered us their thanks and good wishes. Their praise and enthusiasm kept our spirits up.”

The library has received positive feedback from the community, according to the press release. Christine Gregory, a frequent library visitor and member of the Freehold Borough Shade Tree Commission, followed the progress of the garden from the beginning.

“This new garden is not only beautiful, but a source of information about the plants. People can see them and think, ‘I could plant that in my garden.’ “ Mulholland said that over the years, the Freehold Public Library, East Main Street, has benefited from several Eagle Scout projects, including the restoration of library tables and chairs, the construction of custom cabinetry and shelving, the placement of a patio and picnic table in the Appleyard Family Reading Garden, and donations for the library’s book collection.

“We could not be more happy with Michael’s Eagle Scout project and we wish him the best on his journey toward Boy Scouting’s highest rank,” Mulholland said.

Freehold gridders honor coach with heartwarming win

By STEVEN BASSIN Staff Writer

HOWELL – It felt strange for Dave Ellis to be on the sideline coaching his Freehold High School football team when the Colonials suited up against Howell High School on Oct. 23.

Freehold’s 10th year coach had been away from his team all week after his sister-in-law died of a heart attack at the age of 50.

“This was the hardest game I have ever coached,” Ellis said. “I didn’t feel like I knew my team. It was strange.”

The Colonials (3-1) played in Ellis’ honor and made their coach proud with an outstanding effort to win their third game.

A three-touchdown performance by senior quarterback Sha’Kim Shuler and three interceptions on defense led the way to a 33-13 victory over the Rebels.

“It feels like family,” Ellis said. “I preach family to these guys all the time. I was down this week. My coaches picked me up. The players picked me up. It’s the same thing in a game. When the chips are down, we all have to have each other’s back and they all had my back (tonight). It was awesome to see.”

Shuler completed two passes for 62 yards on the game’s opening drive, which ended when he connected with junior Tyler Ochojski on a 36-yard touchdown pass to give Freehold a 6-0 lead.

After Howell tied the game early in the

second quarter, the Colonials answered on the first play of their next possession.

Feeling pressure coming, Shuler got a pass off right before he was hit. He found a wide open Yah-Shin Calhoun, who then juked his way past a couple of defenders to the end zone for a 64-yard touchdown to put Freehold back in front.

Following an interception by Matt Grady on Howell’s next possession, Shuler helped Freehold capitalize on the turnover with his third touchdown of the contest.

The senior ran up the middle for an 11yard score to extend the lead to 19-6 with 4:30 left in the half.

Shuler finished with 202 yards rushing and threw for 168 yards.

“We played for Coach Ellis. He was down this week and we had to come out hard in practice and pick it up for him,” Shuler said. “We have a high-scoring offense. I think we have one of the top offenses in the Shore Conference. We have a lot of fast players. It’s hard to stop speed in space.”

Calhoun put the finishing touch on an impressive first half performance when he took a snap out of the wildcat formation and burst through a huge hole up the middle for a 36-yard touchdown with 1:06 left in the half. Freehold led 26-6 at the break.

Calhoun caught four passes for 136 yards, rushed for 98 yards and had an interception.

“I just do what I can to help my team,” Calhoun said. “The offensive line did a

beautiful job all game, blocking to the whistle and giving a 100% effort. That is what we preach in practice all the time.”

Junior Kamore Gill snared Freehold’s final interception with 7:08 to play when he picked off a pass from J.T. Goodman near midfield and ran it back for a TD. It was a difficult week on a personal level for Ellis, but he was able to see it end in a way that made him proud of his assis-

tant coaches and his players.

“It’s an emotional win. They played with emotion from the word go. My coaches did a tremendous job getting these guys ready this week and the kids did a great job by playing with emotion (tonight) and playing hard. I am so happy for them,” the Colonials’ coach said.

Freehold will host Freehold Township at noon on Oct. 31.

Legendary harness racing driver Kelly passes at age 85

By MARK ROSMAN Managing Editor

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 raised on a farm in western Pennsylvania and always had a passion for horses.

Kelly began his professional driving career in 1951, with his first drive coming at the age of 16 on a small track in Ohio.

He raced at tracks in western Pennsylvania and in Ohio before moving to New Jersey in 1955.

During a career that spanned more than 60 years as a driver and trainer, Kelly worked with many of the sport’s finest drivers and horsemen, including Stanley

Dancer and Joe Holloway.

Kelly had the opportunity to drive many outstanding horses during his career, including his all-time favorite, State Time, who raced for 13 years, winning 24 races while banking $216,914 in purses.

Kelly also trained State Time.

Among his many achievements, Kelly was inducted into the Jersey Shore Sports Hall of Fame in 1993.

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’s best streak came in the late 1980s when Dancer asked him to drive for his stable.

The duo combined to win several rich and prestigious races, including the $863,250 Sweetheart final with Concertina at the Meadowlands in 1988.

“I’ve driven a lot of nice horses over the years, but the best one would have to be Concertina,” Kelly said in a story that was published by the U.S. Trotting Association in 2002, according to harnessracing.com “I have a lot of people to thank, so many who have helped me along the way, but Stanley (Dancer) is the one who gave me my biggest break. For a few years he let

me drive all of his best horses.”

In addition to the Sweetheart final, some of the major races Kelly won were the Hambletonian Oaks, the Lady Suffolk, the Lou Babic Memorial and the Molly Pitcher.

Kelly retired from driving in 2002 and Freehold Raceway, his home track for almost 50 years, honored him with Harold Kelly Day. In his later years he worked for Holloway, a Hall of Fame trainer.

Kelly is survived by his daughters Linda (Tom) Moyer and Deborah (Jeff) Tillia; four grandchildren; three great-grandchildren; a brother-in-law, Paul “Art” Wells; and many nieces and nephews.

He was preceded in death by his wife of 57 years, Susan Mason, who died in 2014.

A private graveside service was held on Oct. 23 in Chambersburg, Pa.

From Possession To Philanthropy

By Taylor Neumann, ReMIND Magazine

L

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

(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.

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

Fire company will receive grant to help recruit new members MANALAPAN – The Gordons Corner Fire Company will receive a Staffing for Adequate Fire and Emergency Response (SAFER) federal grant to help recruit and retain volunteers, Congressman Chris Smith (R-NJ) has announced.

The Gordons Corner Fire Company was established in 1962. The volunteers serve the residents of Manalapan’s Fire District No. 1.

The fire company has its headquarters on Tennent Road in a building that was constructed in 1967.

A satellite firehouse was constructed on

Pease Road in 1976, according to a press release from Smith’s office.

“The Gordons Corner Fire Company is an all-volunteer fire company that very much depends on keeping its current firefighters to protect the community, as well as attracting a new generation of volunteers,” Smith said.

“This $48,876 grant comes from the SAFER grant program, which Congress created to do just that: help communities to be safer by recruiting and retaining firefighters.

“Our all-volunteer fire companies have

a challenge to find residents with the time and willingness to complete the required training to serve their communities.

“This grant will help them tackle that challenge and foster a new generation of volunteers. Volunteer firefighters fill a critical need of public service. They are both heroes and dedicated members of the community who respond to the call to serve,” Smith said.

The Operations and Safety Grant comes from the Department of Homeland Security’s Fiscal Year 2019 Assistance to Firefighters Grant program’s SAFER program, according to the press release.

The grant is administered by the De-

partment of Homeland Security’s Federal Emergency Management Agency in cooperation with the U.S. Fire Administration.

The SAFER program operates a recruitment and retention of volunteer firefighters program, according to the press release.

“We plan to use this grant to keep our retention growing and our roster of qualified firefighters to better serve the residents of Manalapan,” Gordons Corner Fire Company Chief Rob DiTota said.

DiTota said the grant will fund efforts to reach out to the community through social media and other avenues to attract new members to the fire company.

DATEBOOK

• New Jersey Blood Services will conduct blood drives which are open to the public.

The following blood drives are scheduled: Oct. 29, Temple Shaari Emeth, 400 Craig Road, Manalapan, 4-8:30 p.m. To donate blood or for information about how to organize a blood drive, call toll free, 1-800-933-2566, or visit www.nybloodcenter.org

Freehold school board members seek new terms

By MATTHEW SOCKOL Staff Writer

FREEHOLD – Three members of the Freehold Borough K-8 School District Board of Education are running unopposed for three three-year terms in the November 2020 election.

The current terms of board members Tomi Carter, Bruce Patrick and Joseph Santonacita will end in December. All three residents are running for re-election.

Carter is a trustee on the Freehold Public Library board and served on the Park Avenue Elementary School PTO board prior to being elected to a one-year term on the school board in 2019.

“I am a stay-at-home mom and homemaker and I have lived in Freehold Borough since 2006,” Carter said. “It was one of the best decisions my husband and I have made. He grew up in the home we currently live in and attended Freehold High School. It is a phenomenal community.”

Carter said her oldest child attended the K-8 school district and Freehold High School. She has a daughter in fourth grade at the Park Avenue Elementary School.

“I want to make a positive difference not only for her, but for every other child as well. I have a degree in culinary arts and paralegal studies.

“My paralegal background will help me be more practical in my decision making. It will also help me research and see all sides before making a decision that impacts our children,” she said.

In a new term, Carter said she will advocate for full funding from the state, work to improve learning and instruction for all children, and engage with the community with as much transparency as possible.

Patrick was a research scientist in the Humoral Immunology Department at the New York State Institute for Basic Research on Staten Island, where he managed a laboratory for 40 years until his retirement in 2018.

He has served on the school board for

CLASSIFIED

NEWSPAPER MEDIA GROUP • www.centraljersey.com

12 years and has lived in Freehold Borough for 27 years.

“I am running for a seat on the board to continue supporting the our administrators’ successful efforts to improve student achievement, despite the challenges presented by the coronavirus, and secure the state funding levels set by (state law).

“In addition, I want to be involved in choosing the next superintendent when Dr. (Rocco) Tomazic retires. I would also like to get the district’s five-year strategic plan back on track after its postponement due to the coronavirus,” he said.

“My professional background has been an asset to me while serving on the board.

The amount of information that is generated to analyze student achievement is staggering and complex.

“As the manager of a laboratory, my job was to analyze experimental data daily to help determine the course of our research.

These skills and the ability to collaborate with other board members with different skill sets has been very helpful during my tenure,” Patrick said.

Santonacita is a physics teacher at Colts Neck High School. He has lived in Freehold Borough for 12 years and has served on the school board for three years.

“I am running for re-election to continue to advocate to secure resources for the district that will help educate and promote the well-being of our students, their families and the community.

“Being a high school physics teacher enables me to provide perspective and insight as to how board policies, programs and decisions may impact our staff and students,” he said.

In a new term, Santonacita said he will work to get the district to full operational capacity for all students who wish to attend in-person instruction during the ongoing health crisis; continue to advocate for the implementation of state funding until Freehold Borough is properly funded; and engage the community in a new strategic planning process that will formulate a new five-year road map for the district.

DATEBOOK • Blood drives sponsored by the American Red Cross will be conducted on the following dates: Nov. 8, 9 a.m. to 2 p.m., at the Freehold Family YMCA, 470 East Freehold Road, Freehold Township; and Nov. 10, 2-7 p.m., at the Freehold Township Senior Center, 116 Jackson Mills Road, Freehold Township. All blood types are needed. Make an appointment to donate blood by downloading the Red Cross blood donor app; visiting RedCrossBlood.org; calling 1-800-RED CROSS (1-800-733-2767); or enabling the blood donor skill on any Alexa Echo device.
