I have been involved with the Westfield PAL Football Program going on 13 years now. We are trying to make a push this year to encourage participation at our younger youth levels ( 3rd, 4th and 5th Graders) through our In-Town tackle program. We use this program as a way to "teach" the kids the proper techniques and basics of the sport so they can see if they want to continue on and play in our more competitive division as part of our long standing involvement in the NJSYFL.
In an effort to help promote registration, we have developed a FLYER that we are using in various formats and venues. We have gotten permission to include the flyer in all the elementary school's weekly e-mail blasts to parents. We have set up information tables at WBL Baseball and Lacrosse games, and I'm writing you today to see if we could get some placement in The Leader to help our efforts?

The plan being developed by the US Army Corps of Engineers has preliminarily estimated through its hydrology assessment that up to two feet of storm water could be stored behind natural dams in South Mountain Reservation. Lowering water levels at the Orange Reservoir is another alternative under evaluation. A more defined US Army Corps report is scheduled to be presented on May 24th.
The Rahway River Watershed communities, including Millburn, suffered in excess of $75 million of damages to homes, schools and municipal facilities from Hurricane Irene on August 27 and 28, 2012. Some homeowners have yet to return to their homes in Cranford, which is downstream from Millburn and was especially hard hit. Mayors from Essex and Union Counties formed a Mayors Council to find flood mitigation solutions in the Rahway River Watershed.
While in the early stages of analysis, the storage plan must meet strict environmental standards.

Based upon its interpretation of prior New Jersey Supreme Court decisions, the Superior Court in Elizabeth has ruled that the Township of Cranford has not provided "realistic opportunities" to build affordable housing, which is grounded in the New Jersey State Constitution. The Court issued an Order on December 9, 2011, which requires the Township to amend its master plan and zoning ordinance to allow construction of a 360 unit apartment complex with 54 affordable rental units at 215-235 Birchwood Avenue.
As a result, the Cranford Township Committee introduced an ordinance, under protest, on April 24, 2012 which changes our local zoning rules to create a new zone that permits the construction of the apartment complex at 215-235 Birchwood Avenue. The public hearing on the ordinance is scheduled for on Tuesday, May 22 at 8:00 p.m.
While the Township Committee has publically stated on a number of occasions that they will continue to fight this development in the courts and in Trenton, the Township has no choice but to adopt the new zoning ordinance so that the Township’s legal battle can continue and the Township can appeal the trial court’s decision. In fact, the Township’s failure to act on the ordinance could result in sanctions against the Township, including the imposition of civil penalties for purposely disregarding a court order (i.e., contempt of court).
The Township Committee is encouraging citizens to participate in the public hearing to voice their opposition to this project so that a public record continues to be made of the widespread opposition of Cranford residents and the unsuitability of the property for high density development both from a practical perspective as well as due to the significant environmental constraints of the property and surrounding area.
Please note that comments during the public hearing must be reasonably related to the opposition to the Court’s order requiring the passage of the amendment to the Township’s zoning ordinance.
Additionally, the Township Committee encourages residents to use the general public comment portion of the meeting as a forum to further voice their general opposition to this project and encourage the Township Committee to keep fighting this development both in the courts and at the New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection, where the builder has applied for permits which include permission to build in what NJDEP's own rules define as a "flood hazard area".
The Cranford Township Committee is firm in its opposition to this court-mandated development project and wants to continue to demonstrate to those that are in anyway involved in this project that the Township and its citizens stand united in our opposition.

The seven-year agreement will transfer emergency dispatching responsibilities from CenCom, a regional 911 dispatch center operated by Atlantic Ambulance Corp. at Overlook Medical Center, to MONOC, the Monmouth Ocean Hospital Service Corporation, a non-profit company comprised of 15 acute care hospitals throughout New Jersey. Through the agreement, MONOC’s medevac helicopter will operate cooperatively with Atlantic Ambulance’s medevac fleet, which will be dispatched for emergency flights by MONOC. The transition will take effect June 1, 2012.
CenCom, which was founded in 1982, handled 911, fire, paramedic and air dispatch for 18 paramedic units in 22 towns in Union, Essex and Morris Counties, as well as all of Atlantic Ambulance’s air and ground emergency units.

We (NJMVD) are extremely disappointed by the ACLU’s last-minute move to block implementation of new federal identity requirements. Like other states around the nation, New Jersey was implementing the identification program to meet those federal requirements. This action adversely impacts over 3 million drivers and ID holders who are up against a December 2014 enforcement deadline. Given that the ACLU motion was filed on the Friday before the new requirements were to take effect, thousands of customers will come to the MVC today (Monday) prepared to meet the new requirements only to find that 6 Point ID is still in effect. The MVC has made every effort to ensure that compliant documents would be in the hands of all customers prior to enforcement so that they would not face any confusion or disruption when attempting to board a domestic flight or enter a federal facility.
Additionally, the ACLU’s actions put in jeopardy our ability to begin offering the long-awaited customer convenience of Skip the Trip: Renewal by Mail – an initiative announced last summer for more than one million MVC customers born on or before December 1, 1964. When looking at the totality of the consequences of this delay caused by the ACLU, agency traffic will be negatively impacted as well. It is our hope that this issue will be resolved as quickly as possible in the courts and we will be able to move forward with the necessary implementation plans.

Head lice continue to be an ongoing problem in school-age children. Head lice are not a reportable disease, so school and health officials cannot calculate the exact number of cases. However, based on extrapolations from documented infestations, estimates range from 6 million to 12 million cases in the Unites States each year.
Head lice can be a nuisance but have not been shown to spread disease. Personal hygiene or cleanliness in the home or school has nothing to do with getting head lice. Anyone who comes into close head to head contact with a person with head lice is at risk. Head lice are small wingless insects. They cannot fly or jump. They do however crawl very quickly laying eggs (nits) on the hair shaft. Head lice cannot live off the human head for more than 24-48 hours.
The nurses advise you to please continue to check your children for evidence of head lice on a regular basis. Examine the head under a bright light separating the hair into small sections. It is unusual to see the actual insect because they move so quickly, but they are smaller than a sesame seed and are usually gray in color. The nits are white with a teardrop shape and are cemented to the side of the hair shaft. They cannot be shaken or blown off. Please discuss head lice with your children and remind them to avoid head to head contact with other children and to never share hats, combs, or hair ornaments. For help in identifying head lice and nits please check the school nurses’ E-Boards. Additional informational websites are listed at the endbf this letter.
As a precaution, the classrooms involved have been thoroughly cleaned. We will continue to be in contact with our school physician, Dr. Ronald Frank, for direction and guidance with this issue.
As always if you have any questions or concerns please don’t hesitate to call the health offices.

Beginning July 1, customers born on or before December 1, 1964 who need to renew their driver license or ID will be allowed to Skip the Trip and renew by mail. No trip to the MVC, no waiting in line. Customers can simply drop their payment and renewal notice in the mail and within two weeks a new driver license or ID will be mailed directly to their home.
Mail renewals will also help to further reduce wait times, which is important as the MVC phases in new federal identity requirements to customers beginning May 7.
The new federal requirements, regulated by the US Department of Homeland Security, will require a compliant driver license or ID to be presented when used for any federal purposes such as boarding a domestic flight or entering a federal facility. The good news is that enforcement will not begin for customers born on or before December 1, 1964 until December of 2017, which is why we have offered the convenience of renewing by mail now.
All other customers who apply for a driver license or ID at an MVC Agency from May 7 on, including those who decline to Skip the Trip, will be required to meet the new federal identity requirements we have named TRU-ID: The Real U. TRU-ID replaces the 6 Point ID Verification standard currently in use and streamlines it to three simple steps without worrying about calculating points.
Once a customer meets TRU-ID requirements, the MVC will issue a driver license or ID that is valid for eight years, allowing him/her to Skip the Trip four years later. The document will also be federally compliant, which is necessary by December 2014 for customers born after December 1, 1964. For a full list of TRU-ID requirements, visit our website at www.njmvc.gov/tru.
Skip the Trip is only the start of a number of exciting, new conveniences the MVC is working on for its customers. Stay tuned for yet more coming your way soon.

Others have requested information on how President McMenamin communicates with the College community (students, faculty, staff) subsequent to these incidents. I’ve attached an example of one of these communications from the president. This appeared in blast emails to all students and employees as well as on student and employee portal (Owls Nest) homepages.
Board meeting tonight, but you can call me at 908-514-3226 if you need additional information.
To Students and my College Colleagues:
At about 7:59 am today a small smoky fire began in one of the classrooms in our Science Building. That part of campus was evacuated. The Cranford Fire Department was on the scene. We reentered the building by 8:30 am.
The fire began in the heating unit in that classroom. The unit overheated. Some of the surrounding insulation in the unit began to smoke. It was quickly extinguished. No one was injured. The evacuation was orderly (we have had a lot of practice recently). Classes are continuing as usual since then. We are ventilating that particular room. Classes scheduled for that room have been relocated.
Additionally, we continue to work with law enforcement to investigate the recent bomb threats on the Cranford Campus. As evidenced by the recent spate of similar hoaxes at the Universities of Pittsburgh, Delaware, and Maine, this aberrant behavior has become an unfortunate sign of the times. Please be assured that we will remain vigilant as we follow our emergency management plan in our response.
Thank you for your service to Union County College.
Sincerely,

With what she said were “mixed emotions,” the mayor read a statement at the end of the township council’s regular meeting announcing her plans, which she said were motivated by a desire to “put my family first.” She said her new position, as director of shared services in the Department of Community Affairs, was the third government position she has been offered in the past year. She turned down the first two posts out of a desire, she said, to finish her term as mayor at the end of this year.
Last month, the township Republican committee failed to endorse Mrs. Malool for a second term, instead backing deputy mayor Mary DePaola for mayor. Two weeks ago, the mayor said she would challenge Mrs. DePaola for the nomination in the June primary election.
On Tuesday, Mayor Malool said her decision to resign was “not politically motivated, it was not to get me out of this job or out of the election.”
