Great turnout by West Keansburg residents to our Community Information Meeting. Thank you to the West Keansburg Fire Dept for hosting the event. Excellent questions were asked that we can follow up on!

The dream is close to becoming a reality!Tomorrow is our community meeting on 8th St. Park’s renovations! I was grateful to my niece, Shealin, who helped me drop off 220 flyers tonight throughout West Keansburg. The residents I spoke to are so excited for what is to come!🛝

It’s been passed by Congress and ratified by 38 states - the final step is to publish the ERA as the 28th Amendment to our Constitution.🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸 Ask Senate Majority Leader Schumer to bring SJ Res 1 to the floor for a vote. Remove the time limit on the ERA!

Excited to begin working with residents in West Keansburg on the redevelopment of 8th St. Park since the financing is all in place. I am learning so much while researching ADA needs and our goal of making this an inclusive park. I came across this awe inspiring story and will be sharing it with my third grade students when school begins in September.

An 8-Year-Old Crawled Up the U.S. Capitol Steps to Help Pass the Americans with Disabilities Act At 8 years old, Jennifer Keelan-Chaffins joined the "Capitol Crawl" with other disability rights activists demanding passage of the Americans with Disabilities Act.

7/20/22 Germany’s Health Ministry: The rate for a severe adverse reaction after a Covid vaccination is 0.2 reports per 1,000 vaccine doses! (200 per 1000)

This data corresponds to what is being released from scientists in Sweden, Israel, Canada and the EU.

Yet the CDC continues to state on its website that COVID-19 vaccines are safe and effective and severe reactions after vaccination are rare!

My daughter suffered severe neurological gross motor effects from the COVID booster, in January, that she had to get in order to be allowed to return to college. Fortunately, through the grace of God, her positive energy and outlook, and fantastic doctors she is recovering.

Even with all the data unfolding worldwide, an irresponsible bill was introduced 6/20/22 in the Assembly Monday (A4334), by Assemblyman Herb Conaway Jr. (D) & Assemblyman Ralph R. Caputo (D) requiring students, staff, and others present at institutions of higher education to receive COVID-19 vaccine. Please contact your legislative representatives to vote no on this bill!

Last night the Township Committee approved the $1.5 million Bond Ordinance to provide financing for the construction of the 8th St Park. They also approved the payment of $141,560 to T & M Engineering for design and construction services.

T&M Engineers will work together with the West Keansburg neighborhood committee who designed the park, to give input on the park design going forward, including the playground equipment, picnic tables and bench selection.

Benjamin Franklin said, “Either write something worth reading or do something worth writing." I am grateful to those patriots who did both. Proud to be American! 🇺🇸💪🏼

$45 million dollars for electric school buses or reallocate the money to address COVID learning loss and mental health services?

Rep. Assemblywoman Vicky Flynn was rudely spoken over and derailed by the Democratic majority as she tried to introduce a bill amendment.

🌳🌸🌳 A big shout out to the Hazlet Environmental Commission volunteers for holding an Earth Day tree seedling giveaway for our residents. We can look forward to seeing flowering trees around town in the years to come. I look forward to seeing my flowering dogwoods bloom. 🌳🌸🌳

We so often take things for granted in life. Like the simple ability to hold things, to move with grace…. My Brianna has faced many challenges over the past few months after developing severe hand tremors/ body spasms and other health issues from COVID and the booster shot. She is showing great improvement with the help of her remarkable doctors. Brianna wrote this beautiful poem; it is a testament to her resilience. 💕

Ode to My Fingers

Navigators of the stars,
Sculptors of the sand,
Investigators of the world.

Easing my anxiety,
You move,
Seamlessly but with meaning,
Tapping my knee in thumps,
Silent and soft.
Rotating a hair tie around yourselves,
Unraveling knots in strands of hair,
Repetitive motions,
Over,
And over,
And over again.

Relieving my pain,
You interlock with others of your kind,
Sharing static pathways of warmth.
You understand me so well,
To know that a single embrace,
A connection to your kind,
Can appease my solitude.

You are embellished by rings,
Of sapphire, ruby, or pearl,
Only the rings are seen for their value,
Not their slender keepers.

Engineers of my pursuits,
Messengers for my thoughts,
Scribes for my stories.

You do so much,
Yet are admired so little.
