Wood Apologizes for Facebook Rant

Teens Get Late Summer Promise As Skate Park Due to Reopen

OK, OLLIE: Barnegat Township’s skate park was thriving when this photo was taken in 2007,

but four years later it was shut down as wooden fixtures were deteriorating.

File Photo by Jack Reynolds

After a six-year absence, the skate park is coming back to Barnegat Township at the site of the old one in the municipal

complex. An ordinance creating the facility was introduced by the township committee at its Aug. 1 meeting.Jean Broadbent, recreation director, said

unlike the previous park, the new one will be made of concrete instead of wood.

“Wood is only going to last so long,” said Broadbent. “It was deteriorating and became unsafe for kids to use. What we have now will be much more durable.”According to the ordinance, the park will

be open from 9 a.m. until dusk. It will be unsupervised so skateboarders will use it at their own risk.“During inclement weather, the skate park

shall be closed,” the ordinance says. “There is no use when the equipment is wet or icy.”

The park requires all users to wear helmets, and the use of other safety equipment, such as knee and elbow pads, is recommended. Food and drink are prohibited except for bottled water.

“Use of drugs, alcohol, smoking, profanity and/or vandalism is prohibited and shall result in automatic and permanent expulsion,” the ordinance says.The original park opened in 1999, and

several times was temporarily closed for re-pairs and vandalism. At the time of the park’s closure, then-Township Administrator David Breeden said the facility had “outlived its usefulness.”

Breeden said then the township would be prioritizing improvements to the Lower Shore recreation area before it rebuilt the skate park. Then after Superstorm Sandy, the town had the additional task of having the municipal dock rebuilt.

“We had a few other priorities,” said Mayor Albert Bille. “But this year, we made major improvements to Project Playground and got that reopened, and we’re also fixing up the smaller pocket parks. We figured as long as we were doing these projects, it made sense to give the teens a place to go with the skate park.”

A public hearing on the ordinance is sched-uled for the next meeting, on Tuesday, Sept. 5 at 6:30 p.m.

— Eric Englund

By the end of August, the Barnegat Township Public Works Department hopes to put the finishing touches

on repairs to the pocket park on First Street.“This is the only such pocket park west

of the (Garden State) Parkway,” said Mayor Albert Bille. “This is also the last of the parks that are undergoing overhauls.”

He said that earlier in the summer, work was completed at parks on Village Drive, Bilge and Georgetown Boulevard – all in the Settler’s Landing development – and Beverly Road in the Pebble Beach section.

“At First Street, we’ll be replacing the basketball court because the surface was sinking,” said Bille, who estimated the work would cost between $20,000 and $25,000. “We’ll be adding blue rubber mulch for safety and aesthetics.”Bille said various tests determined

the basketball court could remain at its original site.

“We didn’t want to have to relocate it because it is right near some lights so it can be used at night,” he said. —E.E.

Superintendent Getting Outpouring of SupportKaren Wood, Barnegat Township School

District superintendent, is apologizing for comments she made on a recent

Facebook post in which she alleged the board of education was engaged in “corrupt, anti-ethical acts.”

The post came two days before the board of education voted not to renew Wood’s contract, which expires at the end of June 2018. Board President Scott Sarno said her post did not have any effect on the board’s decision, and said he could not discuss specifics as to why her contract will not be renewed.Sarno said Wood, whose annual salary is

$155,977, was given a “Rice Notice,” which is a notification from a public body that it is go-ing to discuss an individual’s employment in an upcoming meeting.“The superintendent has the option of dis-

cussing the matter in public or private, and she opted for private,” said Sarno. “Because of that, we cannot make any comments.”

CHANGING HANDS: The Cox House on Main

Street dates to 1825; the prominent front is from 1854.

Jack Reynolds

An ordinance introduced by the Barnegat Town-ship Committee Aug. 1 would authorize the his-toric Cox House to be re-transferred to Ocean

County. According to the ordinance, the township

acquired the deed for the 19th-century landmark from

the Ocean County freeholders in 1985 to be “utilized

forever for historical and recreation purposes.”The ordinance also points out the original agree-

ment had a “reverter clause,” which read as follows:“The lands herein described are being conveyed

specifically for use for public purposes of the Town-

ship of Barnegat. In the event that the lands hereby

conveyed shall cease to be used for the aforementioned

purposes, same shall revert to the County of Ocean, its

successors and assigns.”As a result, the ordinance says, “the township

Town Wants CountyTo Take Back Costly Historic Landmark

In a recent statement, Wood said that serving as superintendent “has been extremely reward-ing, especially when you see children succeed-ing, both academically and socially.”“We have achieved many great things during

my tenure, and the last thing I want is to say or do anything that distracts from the children’s success or the positive things we are doing,” she said.

Wood continued, “On Saturday, July 23, on my private Facebook account I posted a message that has become a distraction, and in retrospect, I made some poor word choices. As a result, I removed the post, but I want to make clear that I have no knowledge of any illegal or criminal conduct by any members of the board, nor have any board members displayed such conduct. I am presently unaware of any violations of the school ethics act by any members of the board. I sincerely apologize to the board, staff and the community for making the statements. I look forward to continuing to serve the best interests

of the children of the district, collabo-rating with the board and the opening of schools in September.” Since the decision not to renew

her contract, there has been a surging groundswell of support for Wood. On July 25, a Facebook Group page titled “Renew Karen Wood for Superinten-dent of Barnegat School District” ap-peared, and has since grown to more than 700 members. Rob Russo, who helped start the

page, said the mission of this group will never be about debate.“Our mission is simple. We will

unite as parents, registered voters, taxpayers and citizens of Barnegat to collectively request the Barnegat Board of Education not only reconsid-ers but renegotiates and renews the contract of our Superintendent, Karen Wood, beyond its expiration in June, 2018 in a fiscally sound manner for all. Primarily we look to continue the success of our Superintendent which began in 2011 when Karen Wood provided us with strong consistent leadership, dedication and progressive methods in the education and nurtur-ing of our children and secondly to have a balanced board of independent thinkers, without any agenda who always remembers they work at the behest of the taxpayer.”Russo and other residents plan to

show up in full support of Wood at the next board meeting on Tuesday, Aug. 22, 6:30 p.m. at the high school.

The support doesn’t surprise former board member Karen Ray, who said numerous residents and staff members spoke out in favor of Wood at the meeting. A former board president who served seven years, Ray said she found the actions of the current board “despicable.”“They voted not to renew the

superintendent’s contract after repeat-edly responding that they were not getting rid of the superintendent and after person after person stepped up to the podium to praise her,” she said.

Stafford District Race Could Be Hot This Fall

Hospital’s Nurses

Sign Contract and

Avoid Possible Strike

If you were awaiting an elective procedure at

Southern Ocean Medical Center in Mana-

hawkin or the Jersey Shore University Medi-

cal Center in Neptune, and were starting to get

nervous and considering rescheduling because

of the news of a potential nurses strike at the two

Hackensack Meridian Health hospitals, you can

relax – at least as much as anybody checking

into a hospital possibly can.

On Aug. 1, the day after the previous con-

tract for the nearly 1,500 nurses at the two

hospitals had expired, negotiating committees

representing the nurses and Hackensack Merid-

ian Health representatives reached agreement

on a new one-year contract. The next day the

nurses themselves, members of the Health

Professionals and Allied Employees Locals

5138 (SOMC) and 5058 (JSUMC), ratified

the agreement.

The negotiations between HPAE, New Jer-

sey’s largest healthcare union with some 13,000

members in New Jersey and Pennsylvania, and

Hackensack Meridian Health, the state’s second-

largest hospital system, with 13 hospitals in all

as well as more than 200 ambulatory centers,

fitness and wellness centers, rehab centers and

skilled nursing centers, had been tough.

The two sides first sat down at the table

on June 21. On July 24 it was announced the

nurses had authorized their bargaining com-

mittees to give Hackensack Meridian Health

10 days’ warning of a strike or “another form

of concerted activity.” The negotiating com-

mittees, buoyed by the addition of a federal

mediator at the table later that week, never for-

mally delivered the notice of intent to strike, but

negotiations remained stalled past the original

July 31 deadline. The nurses’ union, however,

continued to sit at the table the next day and

finally reached agreement.

“These negotiations were difficult and chal-

lenging for our nursing staff,” said Sally Fessler,

president of HPAE Local 5138 at SOMC. “Our

employer initially proposed to undo parts of our

contract that have been long established and

As the summer heat starts diminishing

next month, the race for three open seats

on the Stafford Township School District

Board of Education could be the next thing to

cause potential blistering.

Following the July 31 filing deadline with the

Ocean County Clerk’s office, 10 candidates have

thrown their hats into the ring and are set to join

the fray in what should be a hotly contested elec-

tion, according to the clerk’s website. The list of

candidates includes incumbents Michael Benson

and Deborah M. Lyons, along with challengers

Gerald “Jerry” Simonelli, Patricia Formica,

Michael Dunlea, Michelle Weiss, Steven E.

Derion, Joshua Smith, Suzanne Caporrino and

Erin Sharkey-Coxen.

As is the case with Benson and Lyons, board

member Wendy Cotter’s term is expiring at the

end of the year, but Cotter has opted not to seek

re-election. Election Day is Tuesday, Nov. 7.

The long list of candidates likely has grown

during recent months as the result of some

harsh public criticism toward the board. In May,

Superintendent George Chidiac came under fire

for recommending the transfers or changes of

assignment of 49 individuals that included 25

teachers, 19 cafeteria/lunch aides, and a pair

of secretaries and principals – a maneuver the

board unanimously voted to impose, save Joe

Mangino, who abstained – despite a lot of ap-

peals, from teachers and members of the public,

during the May 11 board meeting. Dunlea was

one of the teachers slated for a transfer, but after

the board’s vote he resigned and has since taken

a teaching position elsewhere.

Last month, the board received more criti-

cism after it voted to extend Chidiac’s contract

through 2022, effectively replacing the previous

contract even though it wasn’t due to expire until

June 2019. Following the board’s approval of

Chidiac’s contract, dozens took to social media

to voice their displeasure.

Also adding to the recent tension is the fact

that negotiations for a new contract for Stafford

district teachers have stalled during the past

year, as they continue to work under their old

contract, which expired at the end of the 2015-

16 school year.

Derion, who publicly spoke to the board

during the May 11 meeting, said he chose to run

for one of the BOE seats because of his “unique

background as both a parent and teacher.”

“I have become concerned about the current

climate at the school district, particularly the

relationship between the parents and the upper

administration and board, as well as the relation-

ship between the staff and upper administration

and board,” said Derion, a Southern Regional

teacher with 16 years of experience and a parent

of two children in the Stafford district. “I think

my unique background will allow me to give a

different perspective on how to improve those

relationships.”

Smith, who also has been vocal at meetings

during the past few months, said the district has

“great teachers and wonderful students,” but he

believes some things have gone awry.

“Some of the recent decisions by the admin-

istration have raised questions,” he said. “It’s

hard to know if they’re making the right moves

when we as parents and taxpayers have little

visibility into the process nor any explanation

behind their decisions. I’ve been involved and

asking questions to better understand their mo-

tives and direction. As I haven’t been happy with

the answers, running for a seat on the board was

the next logical step.”

Sharkey-Coxen, a Southern Regional gradu-

ate with deep family ties in the area, said she’s

most interested in making a positive impact

within a school district that one day will be home

to her daughter.

“I chose to run because my passion in life

is adding value to families’ lives,” she said. “I

work with students in both education and home

settings, and I see, firsthand, what a valuable

impact education has on our kids. I want to make

sure we make our schools the best they can be

for each of our little ones, while staying cost-

effective and being conscious of our taxpayers.”

With 10 candidates in the hunt for the board

this fall, Stafford’s race is the largest in the

county, ahead of Toms River Regional Schools

(9) and Barnegat (8). In comparison, the two

seats open for the Southern Regional Board of

Education have only two candidates in the mix,

both of whom are current board members – Tom

Serpico and Heather Tatur.— David Biggy

Summer Traffic

Unaffected So Far

If you’ve traveled to Long Beach

Island this summer or left the

sandbar, chances are you’ve

experienced a traffic snare or two.

The good news: None of it has any-

thing to do with the $350 million

Route 72/Manahawkin Bay bridge

project, which is on schedule to be

completed in the spring of 2020.

That’s an accomplishment con-

sidering all the work that’s been

done on the project, which includes

a new drainage system, demolition

of the old bridge and planning for

the new lighting system.

“On the East and West Thorofare

bridges, the contractor is begin-

ning to make improvements to the

highway drainage system on Cedar

Bonnet Island, ” said Dan Triana,

state Department of Transportation

public information officer.

“As part of the new drainage

system, a new bulkhead section was

installed at the west side of the West

Thorofare Bridge,” he said. “Since

the completion of the bulkhead,

Stafford Township has started to

upgrade their water service by in-

stalling a new water main relocated

to the north, away from the bridge,

and away from the ongoing drain-

age work.”

Triana said the contractor is

prepping to begin installing the new

drainage pipe in the next few weeks.

A new drainage line at the end of

Third Street in Ship Bottom will be

installed to help alleviate some of

the flooding that occurs in the area

after heavy rains.

Work on installing new retain-

ing walls – necessary to stabilize

some of the adjacent areas around

the bridge – is tentatively slated for

September, he said.

Meanwhile, this summer has

seen the demolition of all of the

SAFETY FIRST: The U-turn lanes where buses and parents can discharge students on school property instead of

on busy Marine Street will be ready for the Sept. 7 opening. Classes will work around ongoing inside construction.

T uckerton Elementary School Superintendent and Business Administrator Janet Gangemi

said waiting for new HVAC units

means the construction improve-

ments to some parts of the school

won’t be completed till mid-October;

that means no air conditioning in the

main offices, Child Study Team of-

fices, fourth-, fifth- and sixth-grade

classrooms and music room office.“Hopefully we won’t have any 110

degree days,” she told the Tuckerton

Board of Education. The HVAC

company was given a strongly worded

letter from the school attorney, but

that is not making the parts come any

faster, she noted.However, the project to create

a U-shaped drive through school

property to eliminate the practice of

buses and parents dropping students

at the sidewalk and curb on Marine

Street will be ready for school’s start.

This safety issue was a priority for the

school district.A new playground with basketball

courts has also been blacktopped, and

the playground equipment has arrived

but is not yet installed. “We hope

to have that for the start of school,”

Gangemi said.The gym will also be off-limits at

school’s start because a new entryway

had to be built to the outside to meet

code, and those doors are not yet

ready. Also the new elevator that will

go from the gym to the first-floor

entryway, making the gym handicap

accessible, is not going to be finished

until possibly December.A back door from the cafeteria

will be completed by opening day;

the state mandates there must be two

doors in any room that holds more

than 50 people.Gangemi, Principal Siobhan Gray-

son and the PTA are working on plans

for the traditional Back to School

night, Sept. 12, without using the

gymnasium.Otherwise, things are moving

ahead on schedule.Gangemi, in her role as business

administrator, told the board the

school will be moving funds from the

capital reserve to pay the committed

$250,000 capital contribution and

$425,000 for additional HVAC work.

Paving the basketball court was an

additional $6,000.During a quick tour of the building

by the board of ed members, Gangemi

T uckerton has a new police chief as of Aug. 24. Sergeant Brian Olsen took the oath

of office during a special meeting

of the mayor and borough council.

Olsen has worked as a police officer

in Tuckerton since 2004.“I’d like to thank the mayor and

council and the business administra-

tor and the residents of Tuckerton,

and look forward to moving together

in a positive direction,” said Chief

Olsen on Tuesday.Mayor Sue Marshall and the

borough council interviewed two

officers for the job; both had worked

for the borough for the same amount

of time.“We made a decision, and be-

lieve we made it in the best interests

of the borough and we are very happy with how it turned out,” Mar-shall said. “We want the police department to work together and to

keep moving in a positive direction.”During the Aug. 21 regular bor-

ough meeting, the mayor and coun-

cil also welcomed a new patrolman

to the borough. Jackman Bush took

the oath of office.Councilman Ron Peterson read

the police report for July. There

were 32 arrests, 182 vehicle stops

resulting in 63 summonses, five

motor vehicle accidents and 18 first

aid calls.Most alarming was the number

of service calls the borough has

received so far this year, 6,921 –

more than double the calls last year

by this time.Tuckerton Volunteer Fire Co.

Chief Dale Eggert said Tuckerton

needs a new fire truck to be able to

going up in Tuckerton Beach. To be

able to reach a second story of a house

on 13-foot high pilings, firefighters

need an aerial truck that can extend

a ladder 107 feet and still maneuver

in the smaller streets of the borough.

He estimated it would cost between

$800,000 and $1 million, and it would

replace one of the apparatus trucks the

company has now.Council President Sam Colangelo

asked if the fire company was able

to get a ladder truck on site through

mutual aid. Eggert said at present,

they can call assistance from the

Mystic Island Volunteer Fire Co. in

Little Egg Harbor Township. But to

be rescuing people in a fire, the ladder

truck is the first truck needed on the

scene, he said.

West Tuckerton is closer but their ladder truck is too big for Tuckerton’s narrow streets, Eg-gert added.Eggert asked what if Tuckerton

and Mystic both had fires at the same

time? Mystic is also an older lagoon

community that is rebuilding on

higher pilings.The council took no action on the

request but thanked Eggert for the

heads-up.During the public forum, a resident

of Heron Road asked when residents

of that road could expect to see the

road repaved. Business Administra-

tor Jenny Gleghorn said a contract

has been awarded to Arawak Paving.

But the water and sewer lines must be

replaced first, and the borough is still

waiting on grants from both the New

Jersey Infrastructure Trust Fund and

the NJ Department of Transportation

before they can start. Gleghorn esti-

mated it would start in spring 2018.— Pat JohnsonON MY HONOR: Sgt. Brian Olsen takes the oath of office from Mayor
