MAYOR’S MESSAGE
Mayor Owen Henry Dear Old Bridge Residents. I hope everyone had great a start to the new year and is looking forward to all that 2022 will bring. Our days are staying bright a little longer and before we know it, we’ll be resetting our clocks for Daylight Savings time again! Spring is right around the corner! It’s always good to remember the things happening around town that are fun to do with the family even when it’s cold outside. In addition to cheering on our local teams here in town, check out Old Bridge’s John
Piccolo Ice Arena. To plan parties and birthdays or simply to spend a fun afternoon with friends and family, the rink is now open for your enjoyment. For complete details and additional information, residents can visit www.oldbridge.com or contact the Department of Recreation at 732-721-5600 ext. 4999. In our efforts to continue to keep residents healthy, Old Bridge Township is continuing to offer multiple testing sites for COVID-19. Old Bridge High School’s drive-thru testing occurs every Wednesday from 4pm-7pm and every Saturday from 9am-1pm. Veterans Park on Englishtown Road is the newest site managed by Middlesex County where prior registration is required to get tested. There is also walk-in COVID testing available at Purity Diagnostics on Route 34, Excel Urgent Care on Route 516, and Texas Road Pharmacy on Route 527.

Once again this year, I am excited to sponsor the New Jersey League of Municipalities Future Municipal Leaders Scholarship Competition for high school juniors and seniors planning to continue their education after graduation. The purpose of this scholarship is to advance the virtues of elected and volunteer positions in municipal government, while raising awareness of municipal government in general. To compete for the scholarship, the student must write an essay with the theme, “What My Municipal Government Does Best” and it must be approximately 500 words. The deadline to submit the essay to the Mayor’s office is Friday, March 11th, 2022. Once my office receives the essay, it will be judged by our committee and then forwarded to the League of Municipalities for their consideration. The fifteen finalists will each be awarded

finalist certificates. The three winners will each be awarded $1,000 by their mayor at a hometown ceremony. For additional details, please call my office. Good luck to all participants! Resident involvement in government is an integral component in maintaining Old Bridge Township’s quality of life. The feedback, suggestions and new ideas received by residents is not only welcome but is invaluable in keeping Old Bridge Township heading in the right direction. There are many boards and committees that residents can volunteer to serve on and make a difference. Please visit the township website to review all the opportunities available. In closing, I share the township’s goal to be a place where people want to live, work and raise a family, and it is my honor to serve as your Mayor. I wish you all a safe, healthy, and happy month of February. Thank you. Mayor Owen Henry

CAUTION NEEDED WHEN TRAPPING CATS IN THE WINTER By Anita Greenberg, DVM
Dr. Anita Greenberg and her husband, Dr. Daniel Belli, are the owners and operators of the East Brunswick Animal Hospital for more than 30 years. Dr. Greenberg has been a member of the Old Bridge Township Council since 2016 It is important to get ahead of kitten season by trapping feral cats, also known as community cats, in the winter, but the cold weather presents extra challenges. Trap-Neuter-Return [TNR] is the only method proven to be both humane and effective for controlling feral cat populations. Using this technique, all cats in a colony are trapped, neutered, vaccinated and returned to their territory where
caregivers provide them with regular food, water, and shelter. Not all the TNR cats are released. Young kittens, who can be socialized, as well as friendly adults are placed in foster care and eventually adopted out to good homes. Although autumn is the best time to do major TNR trapping, it can also be carried out in cold months as long as there are not extreme weather conditions. By March, most un-spayed females are pregnant, so waiting for spring is not always advisable. Kittens born in late winter to feral females are more likely to die from exposure to the cold. Getting ahead of kitten season by trapping in cold weather requires vigilance. It is hard for a community cat to stay warm while confined in a trap. The trap should be covered with a towel or blanket. The base should also be protected from direct contact with the cold ground. Traps need to be checked
frequently so that the cats are moved out of the chill as soon as they are captured. They should be in a safe warm space before being transported to a spay and neuter facility, where they also will be examined and vaccinated. Post-surgery, TNR cats should be kept in a warm area and monitored for a day or two. Males usually need 24 hours to recover and females usually 48 hours. They have received anesthesia, which can impair a cat’s ability to regulate body temperature, and they cannot be put out in freezing temperatures. The females will have a shaved tummy, without fur to protect them in the cold. These cats are already struggling to stay alive, making it critical to have volunteers to provide food, warm water, and protective shelter stations. Having insulated outdoor cat shelters for the community cats to hide in and keep warm is beneficial. While cold weather TNR has extra challenges, there are ad-
vantages. The cats may be easier to trap as they are hungry and more likely to be lured into traps. While trapping, neutering and returning feral cats is not perfect, it is the best means to reduce the population of community cats and improve the health of existing cat populations TNR’d cats are generally less trouble. They are less of a nuisance and quieter as fighting and mating is eliminated. TNR’d cats are vaccinated against rabies, which is best for public safety. You can recognize a TNR’d cat as its left ear should be tipped.
And thanks to neutering the feral cats, their population will be reduced by attrition. Old Bridge is home to one of the best TNR groups in the state, Save All Stray Cats. Both volunteers and donations are needed to support the work of Save All Stray Cats. To donate, send checks to Save All Stray Cats, PO Box 5303, Old Bridge, New Jersey 08857 or visit www.saveallstraycatsinc.org/donate.html For more information, contact saveallstraycats@yahoo.com.

A BRIEF(ISH) TIMELINE OF THE SAT AND ACT:
1900—twelve university presidents form the College Entrance Examination Board in order to create a uniform college admission test in essay format. This allowed students to take one test for several universities instead of a test for each university. In World War I the first IQ test is given to a large group of Americans—the Army Alpha—administered to identify soldiers qualified to fight. By 1926—Carl Brigham, a Princeton psychology
professor and eugenics advocate, adapts the Army Alpha into the Scholastic Aptitude Test (SAT). 1934—Harvard president James Bryant Conant first uses the SAT to identify gifted Midwestern scholarship students who did not attend Eastern boarding schools. 1939—after grading tests by hand, the SAT introduces machine scoring to accommodate the 10,000 test takers. At this point, only 1% of high school graduates take the SAT. 1946—
Stanley Kaplan begins SAT prep in his parents’ Brooklyn home. Background: Kaplan was an aspiring doctor, but explained that he was rejected from every medical school program because each school had already filled its quota for Jewish students. He strongly believed that each student should be taken on his or her own merit despite any difference of race (despite the needs of any particular school). He also strongly believed that
the SAT could be a vehicle for that meritocracy. The idea of an even playing field is central to what many who believe in the test believe in. The SAT was first dubbed an “aptitude” test and touted as a test students could not prepare for. (Wikipedia) Kaplan saw patterns in the test and began to teach strategy. 1957—more than 500,000 students take the test. 1958—High schools begin sharing results with students. 1959— University of Iowa education professor E.F. Lindquist launches the American College Testing Program (ACT). 1960—The University of California begins requiring the SAT for admissions. 1969—The College Board begins to offer fee waivers for low-income students. Bowdoin stops requiring the SAT, becoming a pioneer in the test-optional movement. (93% require) 1979—the FTC determines that Kaplan’s test prep could raise student’s scores, following an investigation into his marketing. At 1st the college
board denied that preparation was possible, now they make the best-selling test prep books. 1994—the College Board drops “aptitude” from the SAT’s name. 2005—the SAT adds writing…and makes other changes. 2012—For the first time in history, there are more ACT testers than SAT testers. 2016— the SAT becomes more like the ACT and announces it will have a summer test to replace the January test. 2017—The ACT announces it will have a summer test. 2019—The Rick Springer college admissions scandal. 2020—The ACT announces single-section retakes. This still has not happened. The pandemic hits. The SAT and ACT are cancelled nationwide in April, May, and June. Many universities adopt test-optional policies. 2021—The SAT essay and SAT subject tests are discontinued.

LIVING STONES TRUE LOVE
At nearly every wedding I officiate, I love to read parts from a poem by Mar j orie Holmes, comparing Lloyd Pulley, the fleeting Senior Pastor desire, anticipation, and flattery of romance to the consistent thoughtfulness and sacrifice of love. Romanceisfleeting. Loveislong. Romance is dancing in the moonlight, gazing deep into desired eyes across a candlelit table. Love is saying: “You’re tired, honey, I’ll get up this time” and stumbling through the darkness to comfort a crying child. Romance is suspense, anticipation, a surprise. Love is dependability. Romance is tingling excitement. Love is tenderness, constancy, being cherished. Romance is eager striving to appear attractive to each other. Love is two people who find beauty in each other no matter how they look.
Romance is flattering attentions. Love is genuine thoughtfulness. Romance is seeking perfection. Love is forgiving faults. Romance is flying. Love is safe landing. Romance is delicious. Love nourishes. When the desire to be loved trumps the sacrifice of loving another, then all that is left is the pure selfish desire for one’s own best—in short, the opposite of love, which is unbridled lust. And lust is self-seeking in all of its intentions as it lives for the pleasure and gain of only itself, disregarding the good of any it may use to fulfil its needs. The only safe place for the wonderful warming fires of romance is to contain them in the fireplace of commitment with thoughtfulness and self-denial out of concern for your beloved. Love is intentional in seeking its object’s highest good. No description of true love can match the Bible’s in 1 Corinthians 13. The chapter states in verses 4-8: “Love suffers long and is kind; love does not envy; love does not parade itself, is not puffed up; does not behave rudely, does not seek its own, is not provoked, thinks no evil; does not
ALL AROUND OLD BRIDGE
rejoice in iniquity, but rejoices in the truth; bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things. Love never fails…’” Paul the Apostle wrote this letter to Christian believers at Corinth who lived among a particularly selfish and sensual population which mirrors much of modern America today. They sadly confused love with its opposite—lust. A n d w h at a c o nt r a s t ! True love is a forgiving love, a self-sacrificing, cherishing love, which treasures the object of its affections. This kind of love lasts far beyond emotional desire. This kind of love endures where beauty and strength fade, when health and romance decline. This kind of love is steadfast, not going anywhere. It stands in stark contrast to the kind of “love” demonstrated today, not sacrificial towards others, but plainly and unashamedly, a desire to please oneself. Many marriages have been tested to the limit during these times, with division over politics and the never-ending drumming of a twistedly-censored media. To mask or to not mask, to be vaccinated or not, and this mass hysteria has tested marital
commitment, friendships, and loyalties among friends and co-workers. With the rate of marriage already rapidly declining in the United States and a divorce rate of 45%, we should take note how unsustainable society is without true love. If we are divided, how will we stand? It is love that unites us! The uncanny and accurate predictions of a first-century carpenter, Jesus, on the times that would precede the end of history include hearing of “wars and rumors of wars… famines, pestilences, and earthquakes in various places.” But His prediction becomes most personal in Matthew 24:12 where is says: “And because lawlessness will abound, the love of many will grow cold.” Lawlessness is the essence of selfishness. It snuffs out love. It says, “I’ll do what I want, and no love, commitment, or law, will make me behave otherwise.” C.S. Lewis wrote in his book, The Four Loves: “To love at all is to be vulnerable. Love anything and your heart will be wrung and possibly broken. If you want to make sure of keeping it intact you must give it to no one, not even an animal. Wrap it carefully round with hobbies and little

luxuries; avoid all entanglements. Lock it up safe in the casket or coffin of your selfishness. But in that casket, safe, dark, motionless, airless, it will change. It will not be broken; it will become unbreakable, impenetrable, irredeemable. To love is to be vulnerable. ‘The only place outside Heaven where you can be perfectly safe from all the dangers and perturbations of love is Hell.’” And the Bible says in John 15:13: “There is no greater love than that one would lay his life down for his friends.” Yet not only friends, but Romans 5:8 states, “while we were still sinners Christ died for us.” What a covenant love! Not based upon emotion, but based upon commitment, this love never ends! “Many waters cannot quench this love, nor sweep it away.” (Song of Solomon 8:7) If you dream of growing old in harmony with a spouse or having lifelong friends who will live eternally together in heaven, remember this—one’s own heart must first be transformed by the gospel of grace found in Jesus.
