BY GEORGE WOOLSTON SPRING LAKE — Borough offi- cials are considering the in- stallation of video cameras at specific locations throughout Spring Lake as a security measure. Mayor Jennifer Naughton updated the borough council on the potential plans for a video camera “pilot program” at its meeting last Tuesday, Sept. 26. According to Mayor Naughton, a meeting was re- cently held with Council President Brendan Judge, Borough Administrator Bryan Dempsey, Spring Lake Chief of Police Edward Kerr and herself to discuss poten- tial areas. “We talked about the gates [between Belmar and Spring Lake], the pavilions [North End and South End], Marucci Park … the train station, Di- vine Park, the Brown Avenue parking lot and the public works garage,” said Mayor Naughton. “Those were the areas that the chief felt [there has been a fair amount of vandalism].” Mr. Dempsey said on Wednesday that the pro- posed locations are all tenta- tive, and that there will prob- ably be more than one camera at each location, with all the computer storage on location. The cameras would not be connected to the inter- net, he said.

Jack Gramlich both hap- pened to be in the right place at the right time the weekend of Friday, Sept. 22 through Sunday, Sept. 24. Both officers were off duty when they each took it upon themselves to help those who found themselves caught in riptides during the unseason- ably warm weather. “This was a very unusual season,” Ptl. Gramlich said. “Just with the unseason- ably warm weather, coupled with the unseasonably warm water and the consistent dan- gerous surf, is what really created the recipe for disas- ter.” Ptl. Gramlich was having lunch on Ocean Avenue on Friday, Sept. 22 when he no- ticed two Belmar police cars pass and jump out of their ve- hicles with “torps,” a flotation device used by lifeguards in water rescues. “I work part time as a life- guard on the beach outside of working as a police officer, so I stood up and I could see over the boardwalk that there were very plainly swimmers in distress in a rip current pretty far out. “So I run down the beach, I recognize the two officers and they actually handed me the torp and pointed where they had swimmers in dis- tress.” Ptl. Gramlich then entered the water, bringing a young boy around 12 years old to safety on the shore. “He was in pretty bad shape; he’d swallowed a lot of water.

BRICK TOWNSHIP— Opioid related overdoses

have declined significantly since this time

last year, primarily due to the efficacy of the

township’s addiction recovery program.

Ocean County has become notorious from

opioid related overdoses and deaths. In 2015,

Ocean County had the second-highest over-

dose death rate in the state at 157, according to

the Ocean County Prosecutor’s Office.

That number rose in 2016 with a total of

206. Brick accounted for 10 percent of that

figure, with a total of 27 overdose deaths last

year.Since the implementa

tion of the Brick

Township/Manchester Blue HART program,

formerly known as HARP, however, that

number has been on the decline.

According to Brick Township Police Chief

James Riccio, there have been 79 opioid relat-

ed drug overdoses so far this year — a sharp

decline from the 116 reported overdoses as of

this time last year.

Overdose fatalities are also down, though

not as significantly, with 13 this year com-

pared to 16 last year.

Blue HART remains the driving factor in

that reduction.Instituted in January, ov

er 200 addicts have

been enrolled in a treatment center through

Blue HART between the Brick Township and

Manchester programs, Chief Riccio said.

“People call every Thursday just wanting

to know about the program,” Chief Riccio

said.

meeting on an ordinance

amendment that would re-

for permits to use township

The amendment, intro-

permits to use Windward

cials are considering the in-

stallation of video cameras at

specific locations throughout

Spring Lake as a security

measure.Mayor Jennifer Naughton

updated the borough council

on the potential plans for a

video camera “pilot program”

at its meeting last Tuesday,

Sept. 26.According to Mayor

Naughton, a meeting was re-

cently held with Council

President Brendan Judge,

Borough Administrator

Bryan Dempsey, Spring Lake

Chief of Police Edward Kerr

and herself to discuss poten-

tial areas.“We talked about the gate

s

[between Belmar and Spring

Lake], the pavilions [North

End and South End], Marucci

Park … the train station, Di-

vine Park, the Brown Avenue

parking lot and the public

works garage,” said Mayor

Naughton. “Those were the

areas that the chief felt [there

has been a fair amount of

vandalism].”Mr. Dempsey said on

Wednesday that the pro-

posed locations are all tenta-

tive, and that there will prob-

ably be more than one

camera at each location, with

all the computer storage on

location. The cameras would

not be connected to the inter-

net, he said.According to the mayor,

BY ABBY REINHARD

THE COAST STAR

WALL TOWNSHIP — Not all

heroes wear capes, or even

their usual uniforms.

Ptl. Michael Malone and

Ptl. Jack Gramlich both hap-

pened to be in the right place

at the right time the weekend

of Friday, Sept. 22 through

Sunday, Sept. 24.

Both officers were off duty

when they each took it upon

themselves to help those who

found themselves caught in

riptides during the unseason-

ably warm weather.

“This was a very unusual

season,” Ptl. Gramlich said.

“Just with the unseason-

ably warm weather, coupled

with the unseasonably warm

water and the consistent dan-

gerous surf, is what really

created the recipe for disas-

ter.”Ptl. Gramlich was having

lunch on Ocean Avenue on

Friday, Sept. 22 when he no-

ticed two Belmar police cars

pass and jump out of their ve-

hicles with “torps,” a flotation

device used by lifeguards in

water rescues. “I work part time as a life-

guard on the beach outside of

working as a police officer, so

I stood up and I could see

over the boardwalk that there

were very plainly swimmers

in distress in a rip current

pretty far out. “So I run down the beach, I

recognize the two officers

and they actually handed me

the torp and pointed where

they had swimmers in dis-

tress.”Ptl. Gramlich then entered

the water, bringing a young

boy around 12 years old to

safety on the shore.

“He was in pretty bad

shape; he’d swallowed a lot of

water. I know he was treated

by EMS, and I think he was

later released,” Ptl. Gramlich

MANASQUAN — An ordi-

nance that would restrict

where taxis can park in the

borough was tabled Monday

after concerns were raised by

the owner of a Manasquan

taxi company.Mayor Edward Donovan

said the measure remains un-

der consideration, though it

might be amended before the

council’s next meeting on

Oct. 16.Ordinance No. 2233-17,

which is one of the 21 land

use ordinances that were rec-

ommended as a result of the

borough’s master plan re-ex-

amination, was up for its sec-

ond reading and adoption the

borough council’s meeting on

Oct. 2.During the meeting’s first

public comment session,

Roger Fernandez, a Man-

asquan resident and owner of

Bay Breeze Taxi, addressed

the council, saying that re-

strictions the proposed ordi-

nance would place on taxi

companies would “penalize”
