By David Jablonski Managing Editor After a three-year hiatus due to the coronavirus pandemic, Cranford hosted a Rahway River Cleanup event on Saturday, April 16, at various sites along the river as it passes through the township. According to information disseminated by the Cranford Jaycees, one of several organizations involved in the cleanup, collection locations included Kenilworth Boulevard, the end of Riverside Drive, the Riverside Drive footbridge, Hampton Park, Sperry Park, Droescher’s Mill, the High Street footbridge, the Crane Parkway/Hillside footbridge and Mohawk Park on Mohawk Drive. For many, this cleanup was a long time coming. “The township has a River Maintenance Committee, and, last year, I took over that as chairman from the previous head, Mike Scotti,” said Jason Stevens in an interview with Cranford Life on Wednesday, April 20. “Our town does a cleanup every year, although it hasn’t done one since 2019, before the pandemic,” he continued. “This is the first one since the pandemic.” In undertaking such a project, the more people involved the better, said Stevens, so he went about trying to find as many as possible. “I reached out to the people who had been previous volunteers, who had been at the sites along the Rahway River in Cranford, then I just had to track down organizations that had been involved before, such as the Boy Scouts, Girl Scouts, Cub Scouts, Cranford Jaycees and the Cranford Environmental Commission,” he said. The township got involved as well. According to the township’s website, the Cranford Department of Public Works is responsible for general maintenance, such as street cleaning, snow removal, tree trimming, leaf pickup, and minor sidewalk and lighting repairs; the Cranford Building Department is responsible for

property maintenance; and the Cranford Health Department oversees restaurant health inspections and trash collection. The Special Improvement District maintenance funds are used for beautification projects and maintenance that supplements municipal services. Next on the agenda was choosing a date to have the cleanup. “We decided to do it the Saturday before Earth Day,” which is observed annually on April 22, a Friday this year, said Stevens. “A number of other groups have cleanups, and we just didn’t want to have any conflicts with the other cleanups.” He said about 100 people from across Cranford showed up. The township provided gloves; tools, such as gardening rakes and pitchforks, to reach things that are in the river; trash bags; signs to identify locations; and wheelbarrows. Volun-

teers were urged to work in pairs. The Cranford DPW picked up all the trash bags, as they were on duty. Stevens said the cleanup ran from 9 a.m. to noon and included such volunteers as Cranford Mayor Kathleen Miller Prunty and a couple of Cranford Township Committee members, as well as some members of the Union County Board of County Commissioners. Being in charge was new for Stevens. “This is my first year as head, but I’ve been part of the cleanup before, so I knew how it worked,” he said. “The Cranford Jaycees always host the site at the Riverside Drive footbridge, and I have been in charge of that site.” In addition to serving as chairperson of the Cranford Environmental Commission See VOLUNTEERS, Page 10

CHS Project Graduation 2022: It’s a community affair Graduation is an exciting time for high school seniors and their families. It’s a milestone that marks many achievements and allows young adults to reflect on their past as well as their future. Project Graduation is a celebration that allows for just that. It provides a safe, drug- and alcohol-free party on the night of graduation that offers graduates the chance to spend one last night together — mingling, eating, playing games, swimming and reminiscing on their years together — before moving on. That’s what’s in store on Wednesday, June 22, for the Cranford High School Class of 2022. Project Graduation began after the community of Oxford Hills, Maine, experienced seven alcohol and drug related teen deaths from April to June 1979. In the wake of these tragedies, the community rallied together to offer the next year’s seniors a safe alternative commencement event. The event was a huge success and became a model for the nation. Cranford adopted the tradition in 1989 and has been holding the event ever since. For Cranford’s Project Graduation, the whole community pitches in to create a caring, supportive, and safe supervised function for its teenagers, giving parents peace of mind, with the added benefit of safer roads on graduation night. As a subcommittee of the CHS Parent Teacher Student Association, the Project Graduation Committee is a nonprofit group that relies on fundraising and donations to offset the cost of the event. Each year,

approximately 85 percent of the graduating class attends Project Graduation. This year’s class has 286 students; 250 are expected to participate. The Project Graduation Committee is made up of senior parent volunteers, but seniors and other parents pitch in as well. The committee also works closely with the CHS class advisers, the school principal and staff, the Cranford Police and Fire departments, the Cranford First Aid Squad, underclass parents and others. Planning started in October 2021; so far, nearly 65 volunteers have run nine different fundraisers, including the Holiday Lights Tour of the Town, the SouperHero Stroll and, most recently, the CHS Senior Fashion Show. Smaller fundraisers were also organized, including dining events with Angel’s Wings by Rich Pierce, Pizzeria Bel Giardino, and Vinny’s Pizza & Pasta; a Breadsmith Valentine’s Sweets & Treats sale; and a Thanksgiving pie sale in conjunction with Dreyer Farms. “The community support we’ve received has been nothing short of amazing.” said Laura Romito, Project Graduation co-chairperson. She added, “Thanks to the vendors and parent volunteers who have partnered and are currently partnering with us, we’ll be able to provide our seniors with an extraordinary event.” Upcoming fundraisers include: • A food truck event on Saturday, May 7, at Nomahegan Park. This event is making a comeback after a two-year hiatus due to the

pandemic and will feature food, music and fun. Tickets must be purchased in advance and are being sold at various locations throughout downtown. • Lawn signs for all graduates in all schools — kindergarten, elementary, middle school and the high school. Signs re $38 and can be ordered on the Cougar Headquarters website at https://bit.ly/PG22lawnsigns through Wednesday, June 1. • A commemorative graduation program. Businesses, family and friends can submit congratulatory ads for the seniors, to be included in this keepsake program. Project Graduation will be a carnivalstyle event on graduation night at the

Orange Avenue Pool. Giant inflatables, an obstacle course, a mechanical bull, boardwalk games and a DJ are just some of the highlights that will be provided by NJ Fun Entertainment Services. Other activities include a hypnotist, raffles and swimming if the weather permits. There will be food and beverages including a visit from the Ono Bowls food truck, a mobile acai and smoothie truck owned and operated by two CHS alumni.

Donations are tax deductible and can be made via Venmo: @CranfordHSPG2022 (the four digits are 4371).

Board of Education to receive additional state aid Business administrator Robert Carfagno said at the Board of Education meeting on Monday, March 21, that the district received an additional $587,739 in state aid for the 2022-2023 school year. However, most of this money has to be allocated to satisfy the district’s obligation to meet its Chapter 44 health benefit savings responsibility of $464,703, which must be applied directly to taxpayer relief. Therefore, the district will ultimately receive an additional $123,036 in state aid for the 2022-2023 school year. The money will be used toward adding one and a half “Math Achieve” teachers at the middle school level to help improve student achievement. Specifically, these positions will assist students with specific mathematics deficiencies to get them to grade level quickly. The district already established similar positions at the K-5 level, which is having a tremendous impact on student achievement and self-esteem.

Police, Fire, EMS successfully resuscitate 53-year-old resident A medical call turned into a successful CPR life save after Cranford Police, Fire and Fire EMS responded to an Orchard Street home. On Friday, April 1, at approximately 8:47 a.m., Police Officers Daniel Donnerstag and Joshua Sousa were dispatched to an Orchard Street address on the report of a 53-year-old male experiencing chest pains. On arrival, Donnerstag, a certified emergency medical technician and American Heart Association CPR instructor, recognized that the patient was taking agonal gasps. Donnerstag and Sousa immediately began to rescue breathe for the victim using a bag-valve mask. At this time, Police Officer Nelson Hearns Jr. arrived on scene and assisted in the effort. During this rescue effort, the patient lost consciousness and lost his pulse. It is at this point that the Cranford police units were joined by Cranford Fire Department emergency medical technicians Zachary A. Kornberger and Travis Literate, as well as Fire Inspector Doug Petchow, Firefighter James Polito and Firefighter Michael Kniazuk. Hearns utilized his automated external defibrillator to determine whether the patient had a “shockable rhythm.” The AED indicated that a “shock was advised,” and subsequently one shock was administered by Hearns. Cardiopulmonary resuscitation was immediately started by the team of police officers, firefighters and EMTs. After the team performed multiple cycles of CPR, the victim suddenly gasped for air and became conscious. Paramedics from Robert Wood Johnson University Hospital Rahway arrived on scene and continued treatment of the patient. At this point, the patient was fully alert and holding a conversation with medical personnel. He was transported by Cranford Fire Department’s EMS to Newark Beth Israel Medical Center. According to the American Heart Association, more

CPR in conjunction with the successful deployment of an AED can double or triple a patient’s survival rate in these settings.

Police Chief Ryan J. Greco praised the efforts of all first responders involved in this rescue effort. “First responders using their training and experience and acting as a team led to the successful saving of a Cranford resident’s life,” Greco said.

Above left, in 1998, Gregg LeFevre created a bronze landmark map that features the city of Rahway in relief. The map highlights NJ Transit’s rail line running through Rahway, major highways and roads in the city, and rivers and other geographical features. Above center, with decorated glass, located in the platform shelters, artist Ben Volta engaged Cranford youths to help create artwork depicting hundreds of neurons and native

flowers. The colorful composition, titled ‘Neuron Garden’ and created in 2017, presented a fanciful garden overflowing with natural forms. Above right, in 2004, George Greenamyer created a kinetic sculpture celebrating railroading as a gateway to Union station. Constructed from steel pipe, rolled plated angle iron and forged steel plate, the 16-foot-tall statue depicts a train, with passengers, on a track.

Gallery highlights artwork at NJ Transit locations statewide NJ Transit has launched its new Transit Arts Program webpage, www.njtransit.com/transitarts, a virtual exhibition featuring works from throughout the NJ Transit system, highlighting artists and illustrating that transportation really is just art in motion. “One of NJ Transit’s top priorities is to maximize its customers’ total transportation experience,” New Jersey Department of Transportation Commissioner and NJ Transit board Chairperson Diane Gutierrez-Scaccetti said in a press release. “We are pleased to leverage technology to

make this artwork accessible to everyone near and far to enjoy.” “With the launch of this new microsite, beautiful artwork previously available only to NJ Transit customers and local residents is online for all the world to enjoy,” NJ Transit President and CEO Kevin S. Corbett said. “Artwork throughout our system enhances the travel experience of our customers, and we are pleased to open up this experience to a wider audience, while showcasing a diverse range of talented local, national and international artists.”

The new Transit Arts Program webpage provides instant virtual access to the more than 150 art installations located throughout NJ Transit’s statewide transportation system. The artwork designed through NJ Transit’s Transit Arts Program was created based on the philosophy that artwork enhances the customer experience and provides local artists the opportunity to showcase their work to a large and varied audience. The art throughout the system has been carefully planned and conceived, and is woven into the design of its surIn 2021, Alastair Noble and Kathy roundings to enhance the beauty of public Bruce created ‘New Jersey by spaces and the greater community.

Customer advisory map launched showing active service alerts On April 7, New Jersey American Water announced that a new and improved customer advisory map is live on the company’s website. This user-friendly map allows NJAW customers to view any active events or other issues in their area that may impact their water service. “We are committed to providing exceptional customer service and are constantly looking into ways to improve,” said Thomas Shroba, vice president of operations at NJAW. “This enhanced customer advisory map is an

invaluable tool for our customers that allows them to see what events are happening in their area that may impact their water service.” This map replaces the company’s outage map, which has been in use on the NJAW website for many years. “All of this information has always been available to our customers, but never in such an easy-to-use fashion,” Shroba said. “Customers now can search their address and see if there are any active service alerts impacting their

area, as well as the estimated restoration times.” Customers are also encouraged to log on to MyWater at https://www.amwater.com/njaw/ and update their account, so the company knows how to reach them as needed with updates specifically related to their property. After updating their information, customers can also opt in to receive water service–related notifications via phone call, text or email. The customer advisory map can be found at www.newjerseyamwater.com/alerts.

Online portal launched to report asset seizures, forfeitures In accordance with legislation mandating comprehensive disclosure and transparency requirements for the system of civil asset forfeiture, acting Attorney General Matthew J. Platkin announced April 5 the launch of an online portal that allows county prosecutors to submit reports detailing seizure and forfeiture activities by law enforcement agencies in their counties. This data will then be used to create an online case-tracking system and searchable database of civil asset forfeitures across New Jersey. In an effort to make forfeiture actions by law enforcement more transparent, in fiscal year 2022 the Office of the Attorney General was appropriated $2.6 million to create and maintain a public case-tracking system and searchable database for all asset seizures and forfeitures in the state. As a result, the InfoShare Case Management system used by all 21 county prose-

cutors’ offices now includes a forfeiture module with updated forms and data fields where forfeiture information can be uploaded to the electronic platform. In addition to the information required by the statute, a supplemental feature requires law enforcement to include information related to race, ethnicity and gender to help get a better sense of how seizures and forfeitures affect different groups throughout the state. “This tracking system is an important step towards increasing transparency in forfeiture practices by New Jersey’s law enforcement agencies,” Platkin said. “Law enforcement and residents alike will benefit from the collection and tracking of information regarding asset seizures and forfeitures.” “The Division of Criminal Justice is committed to ensuring the civil rights and liberties of residents are protected,” Divi-

sion of Criminal Justice Director Lyndsay V. Ruotolo said. “This portal will help increase confidence in New Jersey’s justice system by ensuring comprehensive reporting on civil forfeiture is tracked and accessible to the public.” An external portal has also been created to allow all law enforcement officers access to an electronic forfeiture reporting case input system in order to streamline and modernize the intake of seizure information. With this system, both seizure and forfeiture information can be collected in a uniform and timely manner. The data collected will be used to generate reports and populate a public-facing dashboard as required by state law. The Division of Criminal Justice also has the ability to alert law enforcement agencies that do not report seizure data — or a certification of no seizure activity — of their requirement to comply. To ensure all law enforcement officers and prosecutors know how to use the new system designed to comply with the new law, the Division of Criminal Justice has presented more than 60 statewide trainings and is planning another 20 trainings. The launch of the online portal follows

a bill signed by Gov. Phil Murphy on Jan. 13, 2020, that requires county prosecutors to submit quarterly reports to the attorney general including information regarding the law enforcement agency involved in a confiscation; the date, description and details of a seizure; the amount of funds or estimated value of a property; the alleged criminal offense associated with a seizure; and whether the defendant was charged with an offense and if those charges were ultimately dismissed or the defendant was acquitted, among other information. The database will include reports specifying the type, approximate value and disposition of the property seized, and the amount of any proceeds received or expended, whether obtained directly or as contributive share, including but not limited to the use thereof for asset maintenance, forfeiture prosecution costs, costs of extinguishing any perfected security interest in seized property and the contributive share of property and proceeds of other participating local law enforcement agencies. The data will provide details of all proceeds expended and the purpose of each expenditure.

How to get ready for the big bag ban, in four easy steps As the winter weather changes into spring this year, everyone in Union County and throughout New Jersey will also see a big change at their favorite stores. Beginning on Wednesday, May 4, a new state-law bag ban goes into effect. When it does, stores and restaurants in New Jersey will no longer hand out free, singleuse plastic bags. The new law has an additional provision for large grocery stores. Grocery stores will not hand out any free singleuse bags, whether paper or plastic. Shoppers will need to bring their own reusable bags or purchase them at the store. Union County residents and shoppers can prepare in advance by taking four simple steps: Step 1: Start gathering enough reusable bags to accommodate your weekly grocery

shopping or other large shopping trips. Step 2: Hang your bags by your door or put them in your car, where you are likely to remember them. Writing “bags” at the top of your shopping list is another effective memory trick. Step 3: Keep a lightweight, foldable bag in your purse, backpack or pocket in case of unexpected errands. Step 4: Don’t wait until May 4 — start shopping with reusable bags now. The bag ban is part of New Jersey Public Law. 2020, c 117, a comprehensive state law intended to reduce waste, litter and pollution. The provision dealing with single-use plastic bags applies to all retail stores in New Jersey. The provision dealing with single-use paper bags applies to grocery stores larger than 2,500 square feet.

Cranford resident takes part in ‘Women at the Well’ initiative event S. Deirdre Mullan visited Mount Saint Mary Academy on World Water Day, Tuesday, March 22, to discuss with administration, faculty, staff, and students the importance of water resources for impoverished countries in conjunction with the “Mercy Girl Effect: Women at the Well” initiative. Mullan had lunch in the Heritage Room with members of the Student Council Executive Board before her afternoon presentation to the student body in the S. Lisa D. Gambacorto Theater. As part of the Mercy Girl Effect Project, the Student Council Executive Board is raising money for wells to be built in impoverished areas where women and girls have to walk long distances to get water. Each well costs $5,000; so far, the Student Council Executive Board has raised more than $18,000. The goal for the end of this year is to be able to provide the funds for four wells, $20,000. Student Caitlin Cotter of Cranford said, “S. Deirdre’s presentation emphasized the importance of supporting this initiative and raising awareness for water carriers. It is so important that, as a school community, we continue to support individuals and communities that do not have direct access to clean water and work toward assisting those in need.”

NJ Homeland Security unveils disinformation portal The New Jersey Office of Homeland Security and Preparedness unveiled a new disinformation portal at https://www.njhomelandsecurity.gov/disinformation focused on assisting the public in identifying and vetting any truth-obscuring, manufactured information, according to an April 6 press release. The disinformation portal will examine tactics, techniques and procedures that nation, state and non-state entities engage in, sometimes referred to as psychological operations. According to the release, the office “hopes to address the onslaught of activity from these entities who have recently sought to and capitalized on spreading disinformation to sow discord within New Jersey and elsewhere.”

Disinformation has the potential to incite panic, create distrust between the government and people, increase polarization, influence government actions or law enforcement responses, exhaust resources, and cause undue harm, according to the NJOHSP. “As it pertains to our mission, disinformation can have an insidious impact on the overall threat landscape,” NJOHSP Director Laurie Doran said. “In an age where the public has become increasingly dependent on online forums and social media platforms to stay informed, we all have a higher responsibility to scrutinize the information we’re consuming.” In addition to a checklist for screening information, the page also provides intelligence reports that highlight circulating disinformation trends and tips on spot-

LETTER TO THE EDITOR Health and physical ed. standards are adopted by Cranford schools To the Editor: The district is aware that there has been a great degree of conversation about the comprehensive health and physical education standards for the state of New Jersey. We are also aware that there has been an unfortunate amount of misinformation in the media and on social media regarding this topic. I would like to clarify both what is contained in the New Jersey standards as well as how they have been implemented here in Cranford Public Schools. The comprehensive health and physical education standards for New Jersey can be found online. As you will notice, these standards are organized into several grade bands based on skills and knowledge that should be acquired by the end

of the grade listed for grades 2, 5, 8 and 12. Because of this, districts have latitude not only about how to instruct the particular standards, but also about where in the grade band to have this instruction. Obviously, more complex and mature topics would be taught at or near the final grade listed in the grade band. There are no specific lessons that we are required to teach to meet these standards. The standards were adopted by New Jersey in June 2020 and have been incorporated into our curriculum since that time. Our teachers and administrators took a commonsense approach to create a curriculum that meets the standards but also is appropriate in content and delivered at an appropriate grade level for our students. All of Cranford’s curricular resources can be found online. New Jersey has always allowed for parents/guardians to opt out of any portion of the health curricu-

lum for their child if they feel that it is in conflict with their sincerely held religious or moral beliefs. In this case, a student will be assigned alternate lessons to complete in lieu of the district curriculum. Please be aware of the misinformation that is circulating regarding topics being discussed and materials being used and feel free to contact me at heineman@cranfordschools.org or the health/PE supervisor, Darren Torsone, at torsone@cranfordschools.org, if you have any questions regarding the curriculum. I sincerely hope that, after reviewing the state and district materials, you will agree that our district staff have done an excellent job of interpreting the standards and creating a health program that is both informative and inclusive. Brian Heineman Assistant Superintendent for Curriculum and Instruction

Cougars start baseball season with a 5-0 record By JR Parachini Sports Editor While its brand of baseball has not reached the brilliant bar yet, Cranford High School’s baseball team began the week with a 4-0 record as it continued Union County Conference competition. The Cougars, defending Watchung Division champions, improved to 5-0 overall and 3-0 in the Watchung Division after defeating Arthur L. Johnson High School 6-2 at home on Monday, April 11. Cranford was next scheduled to play at division newcomer New Providence High School on Tuesday, April 12. Cranford was then scheduled to play at Middletown South High School on Wednesday, April 13. Cranford is next scheduled to play at Mountain Division school Union Catholic High School this Monday, April 18, at 1 p.m. “We have a lot of work to do,” said head coach Dennis McCaffery. “Although Will Gallagher and Sean Woodruff have both pitched late into games, we’ve walked too many guys. Offensively, we need to improve our at bats and our execution. We have a lot of stuff to tighten up.” Cranford followed wins against Mountain Division teams Summit High School and Jonathan Dayton High School with its first two Watchung Division triumphs. The Cougars defeated Scotch Plains–Fanwood High School, 72, at home on Tuesday, April 5, and then edged Westfield High School, 4-3, at home three days later. Cranford won the Watchung Division championship last year at 11-1, splitting with second place Union High School, which came in at 10-2. It was the first time the Cougars won the Watchung Division since sharing the crown with Governor Livingston in 2015. Cranford previously won it outright in 2011, 2012 and 2013, after winning the Mountain Division title outright in 2010, which

Perhaps no program in New Jersey adheres to “just the game at hand” more than Cranford. The results, for a quarter of a century now, speak for themselves. “The expectations are the same every year, regardless of how many players we have back or how many we don’t,” McCaffery said. There are plenty back this year from last season’s 20-3 squad, which reached

the Union County Tournament semifinals and the North 2, Group 3, final, falling in both by just one run. At first base is senior Tony Silva, at second base is junior Shea Grady, at third base is junior Ryan Jaros, at shortstop is senior Will Gallagher, in center field is junior Jake Carter and in right field is senior Shane Van Dam. Carter played in left field last year. Back on the mound are Gallagher; Woodruff, who is a junior; and junior

McCaffery’s son Dennis, a sophomore, plays left field. “Baseball is not a sport where you can look ahead,” McCaffery said. “The best team doesn’t always win. It’s who executes the best. “We were behind in three of our first four games. We can’t be content.”

Cranford softball starts 2022 season off 3-2 with victory against Elizabeth By JR Parachini Sports Editor The Cranford High School softball team, coming off an outstanding 24-6 season that included the program’s first Union County Tournament championship since 2010, will find out a lot about what kind of team it has this week. The Cougars, who challenged state power Immaculate Heart Academy in the LaRezza Invitational at Immaculate Heart in Washington on Sunday, April 10, had their second Watchung Division game on Monday, April 11, and were then to play at Essex County school Columbia on Tuesday, April 12, after press time. Cranford is scheduled to play at defending Watchung Division champion

Westfield on Thursday, April 14 at 4 p.m. and then conclude this week’s slate with a game at Valley Division foe Scotch Plains–Fanwood High School on Saturday, April 16, at 11 a.m. Cranford begins next week with an 11 a.m. game on Monday, April 18, vs. Watchung Division newcomer Union High School. On Monday, April 11, Cranford improved to 3-2 overall and 2-0 in the Watchung Division after winning at previously undefeated Elizabeth High School by the score of 9-3. Emma Ingraham and Sophia DeMarco each banged out three hits; Cranford finished with 14 overall. Former Cranford standout catcher

Melissa Moreno, a 2012 graduate, succeeded Christine Pemoulie as head coach. Her assistant coach is Brie Capece. Cranford began the week with a 2-2 record, including home wins over Mountain Division foe Summit High School, 102, and Watchung Division rival Governor Livingston High School, 13-3. Its first loss of the year came at home to Old Bridge High School, 5-3, on Friday, April 8. Players on the team’s 2022 roster are senior Quajanai Couto, junior Madison Jones, freshman Hannah Semple, junior left fielder Katie Bendert, senior left fielder Samantha Brunton, sophomore right fielder Maddy DeLong, sophomore pitcher/first baseman DeMarco, senior catcher Ingraham, junior Niah Murphy, junior

third baseman Giulia Olear, junior second baseman Emma Grace Pachkowski, junior Sabrina Prata, junior pitcher Avery Toddings and senior outfielder Erin Zarzecki. Cranford fell at 4-0 IHA by the score of 6-4 in the invite on Sunday, April 10. Cranford scored its first three runs in the top of the sixth and its final one in the seventh. DeMarco went 2-for-4, with two singles and two RBIs, while Olear and Semple banged out two singles apiece. DeMarco singled in last year’s 5-1 win against Governor Livingston in the UCT final played at Linden’s Memorial Field. Going into Tuesday, April 12, Cranford was 3-0 against Union County competition.

Murphy administration announces $1.4 million in Highway Safety Fund Program grants The Murphy administration recently announced the awarding of $1.4 million in Highway Safety Fund Program grants to 54 municipalities to promote safety along designated Safe Corridor highway segments. “The Highway Safety Fund provides grants to local law enforcement, helping ensure they have the tools they need to keep our roads safe,” New Jersey Department of Transportation Commissioner Diane Gutierrez-Scaccetti said. “The funding provides resources necessary for local governments to achieve their safety objectives without burdening local property taxpayers.” The Highway Safety Fund Grant program is funded through fines, which are doubled in designated Safe Corridors for a variety of moving violations, including speed-

ing. The designated segments of state highways were selected based on crash data, traffic volume and other highway traffic safety criteria. This data-driven model directs more resources to those areas within Safe Corridors exhibiting the greatest need for continued enhanced enforcement measures. In Union County, Elizabeth received $61,698, Hillside received $39,032, Kenilworth received $2,533, Linden received $57,217, Mountainside received $15,217, Rahway received $25,651, Springfield received $28,562 and Union received $83,517. The current Safe Corridors include: Route 1 between Trenton and South Brunswick, between South Brunswick and Edison, and between Woodbridge and Elizabeth; Route 9 from Lakewood to Sayreville; Route 22 between

Branchburg and Newark; Route 40 between Hamilton and Egg Harbor; Route 46 between Netcong and Woodland Park; Route 47 between Millville and Vineland; Route 73 between Voorhees and Maple Shade; and Route 206 between Montgomery and Hillsborough. The grants are administered by the NJDOT Division of Local Aid and Economic Development and are intended to promote public safety. They are distributed based on a formula to all municipalities responsible for law enforcement within the designated Safe Corridors. Funding may be used by municipalities to purchase enforcement equipment including police vehicles, radar equipment, computer hardware and software, and to provide for special enforcement details.

UCC Foundation raises more than $265,000 at annual Beach Ball Casino Gala When uncertain times persist, the Union County College Foundation finds a solution and perseveres. UCC’s foundation hosted its Virtual Beach Ball Casino Gala on Thursday, Feb. 24, and raised more than $265,000, which will help support the foundation’s mission of ensuring that a student’s economic reality is not a roadblock to academic success. This is the foundation’s second-most successful gala in the past 10 years. This year’s honorees were Mary Zimmermann of Summit, who received the Fiat Lux Award, and DSM North America, which was named Corporate Partner of the Year. More than 100 people joined together in support of the foundation’s mission in the virtual Owl’s Nest Casino, where they played blackjack and roulette and bid on auction items to help raise funds in support of UCC students. A highlight from the event was the

tious and they are very grateful for your help. Every dollar that you donate to the foundation helps a student cross the finish line and earn their degree.” As the program ended, UCC Foundation Executive Director Doug Rouse closed by saying that “the donation made today could be the difference for a single mother in Elizabeth trying to better her life and be a role model for her children. It could help a first-generation college student from Linden, whose dream is to be an engineer and end the cycle of poverty for his family. It could be the difference for a returning student from Hillside, who can change the lives of those in his community. The impact our donors make today will reverberate for generations to come.” For additional information on how to donate, visit www.ucc.edu/union-countycollege-foundation.

‘Our students are excellent scholars who deserve a chance to change their lives through education.’ — Margaret M. McMenamin program honoring Zimmermann and DSM North America. UCC board of trustees Chairperson Victor M. Richel presented the Corporate Partner of the Year award to board of governors member and DSM North America President and chief legal counsel Hugh Welsh. Following this award, Larry Bashe, chairperson of the foundation’s board of trustees, presented the Fiat Lux Award to Zimmerman, Union County College alumna and chairperson of the college’s board of governors. “There is no bigger advocate and sup-

porter of our students than Mary,” said Union County College President Margaret M. McMenamin. “Her leadership and support have truly transformed our community, and we are a better institution because of her commitment to our students.” McMenamin also spoke directly to the event’s attendees and expressed her gratitude for the funding on behalf of the college. “Our students are excellent scholars who deserve a chance to change their lives through education,” said McMenamin. “They are hardworking, ambi-
