Hurricane Sandy

Addressing Mold in Homes an Important Part of Recovering Safely

A Patch letter to the editor

The following column was submitted by New Jersey Department of Health Commissioner Mary E. O'Dowd: As New Jerseyans continue to rebuild and recover from Superstorm Sandy, mold and its remediation have become a challenging issue for many residents and communities. It can cause property damage and be a health concern when it grows inside homes and is not properly dealt with. Exposure to mold can cause coughing or wheezing as well as irritation of the eyes, nose, throat and skin. To help homeowners ensure that their residences are cleaned and remediated properly, the New Jersey Department of Health created and released a pamphlet entitled Mold: Guidelines for New Jersey Residents. This pamphlet can help residents identify mold in their homes…

Hurricane Sandy

'Homeless in Seaside Park' Frustrated With Red Tape

Former Ocean County Director of Human Services upset with confusing mandates, insurance delays

  An open letter to: President Obama, All the members of Congress, Governor Christie and members of New Jersey Senate and Assembly and to local mayors and council members MY DESCENT INTO MADNESS BY WAY OF THE RABBIT HOLE Super Storm Sandy has displaced seven people in my family. We all lived in Seaside Park, New Jersey. We are no different from the thousands of people who are facing what seems like insurmountable obstacles towards rebuilding our homes, our lives and our communities. During the height of the storm our local rescue workers, emergency personal and police were heroic in their efforts to save lives and mitigate damages. The weeks following the storm were also filled with countless stories of families, neighbors, friends and …

God bless you for putting into words what we've all been feeling. I live in North Long Branch & your letter fits our situation to a T. I'm at the point where if I have to fill out one more sheet of paperwork, I'm going to scream & never stop. While we did manage to extract a partial payment from the insurance company after 4 months (the last month being taken up by the mortgage company), it's …   more ›

Letter: Agenda 21 Should Be Opposed

Resident supports Freeholders' resolution against United Nations initiative

Letter to the editor as submitted by Joseph Lypowy: The Ocean County Board of Chosen Freeholders should be commended on a resolution they had adopted on February 15 of this year titled item #A-33 Resolution Opposing UN Agenda 21 Treaty.  By drafting this resolution, the Freeholders have demonstrated a high degree of understanding and foresight into dangerous supranational decrees established by the United Nations which erode national and local sovereignty and pose a severe danger to civil and property rights of American Citizens protected by the US Constitution. All of our elected officials make an oath to “Uphold and protect the Constitution of the United States of America”, and by drafting this resolution, the Freeholder Board has shown …

I'm sorry. You have got to be kidding me. Agenda 21 was drafted after a 1992 summit. Why on earth is this now a pressing issue? So much so that it required the Ocean County Freeholders to comment on it? Did it take them 20 years to read this document? or Are the Ocean County Freeholders that bored? Them issuing a statement against Agenda 21 is a meaningless measure. Just as writing an article, or…   more ›

Letter: Ocean County Utilities Authority Meeting Quite An Experience

Next meeting slated for 4 p.m. on Jan. 26

Letter to the Editor submitted by Forked River resident Regina Discenza The headquarters was clandestine. Had to use a phone to get an electric gate to open for entry to the premise. It's out in the middle of nowhere at the very end of Hickory Lane in Bayville. (Next public meeting is Jan.26, Thursday at 4 p.m.) After I got inside the gate just before 4:30 p.m., the receptionist said I was the first person to attend their public meeting in the two-an-a-half years that she has been there! I looked around....amazing....frosted glass with the OCUA emblem on it, wood trim everywhere, skylights- beautiful. The employee kitchen looks better than most people's. They have a LARGE stainless steel fridge, a large stainless steel flat top range/stove…

It is amazing how misinformed the public is. Maybe that is why the same R's get elected in this County year after year. The "salary" the commisioners get on the OCUA is 5k per year and on the TRMUA is 2k per year. One poster on here , very misinformed quoted a salary of 80k, maybe that , umm, poster is eluding to the salary of the Executive director? You got to laugh though. Maybe some of the …   more ›
